Speaker 1: Hell, Hello ladies and gentlemen, and welcome back to Travis
told you August twenty third, twenty twenty five. My goodness.
We are just what days away from Halloween, the greatest
day of the year. That's great. Lots of good stuff
happening in geek Ers. We're a couple of weeks away
from Extra Life, which is fantastic, fantastic, fantastic, And yeah,
it's gonna be a good show today. We've got lots
of talk bout gonna do some quick fires, lots of
stuff on the feeds. Everyone is doing well. After nine
is tomorrow. It is, at least myself in Dylan Kirkles
on the way to Japan currently. Taylor's moving. So it's
gonna be us holding it down, and we're gonna talk
about some top tennan scary movies all the time, because
there was like a pole that came out or a
study very controversial in the discord, so we will be
talking about it. But yeah, we're talking about some DCU,
just a bunch of updates from James Gunn. We're talking
about is any Mushetti still directing Batman? That's kind of
back and forth. It's not really back and forth. But
with the fanom it is right, the up and down stuff,
So we'll talk about that. We'll quickly talk about Dave
Fincher not directing a Star Wars movie, talk about WB sales,
all this good stuff. And there is a little topic
there at the end, and let me get rid of
these banners and everything. There is a little topic there. Oh,
clear the throat there because this is an important one
at the end. But I'm gonna start off the top
geat O the way, so you know how much time
is left we got now or say as usual for
your Patren, answer your comment if not sending a super
chat or join Patreon, very much appreciate it. You get
a bunch of stuff up there. There's i think now
hundreds of exclusive episodes Bike Rider's retrospective, Running Man retrospectives
up there. We got tons of stuff coming in twenty
twenty six. God, we'rell in two twenty six. That's that,
so that will be happening. But yes, Lesiam, I guess
let me tell people that I'm doing this so people,
so the people know, you know, because we're gonna start
up top very very important. But so actually I don't
want to start yet. Just in case, so I'm clear
and centering everything going on. But yeah, check out genviven Alli,
Me and Taylor just reviewed that. What else we got
side quests as usual, we got got it chapter not
it Welcome to Dary starting, so we got that going on.
There's there's almost too much to mention there, so let's
see here. But what else is going on? Yeah, I'm
one side quest this week with Deal and that'd be
good because I have not been on there been in
a minute now, still not finished on condom. Sorry don't
but at the bottom says Trasnall addresses as enemies and
we're gonna get into that right. Last news guys only people,
I guess because we haven't released it publicly, but we
did are in person cast me kirklintear Hell of the
time two and a half hours talking about life after Life,
a bunch of stuff that will be releasing on the
feed this week for public but it is ad free
on patron right now. And some people know about this,
some people don't. I had to addressed the situation right
because I got about a couple of dms and messages
about certain podcaster or maybe saying some things about me.
H didn't know what the deal was between me and myself,
and I said, hey, I'm going to address it at
some point, and then I did. But then I chose
to take the high road. You know I've talked about
before when I came back, try to take the high
road now nowadays with Trasnail, don't just address it head on,
see what happens. I said, I would discover and talk
about it in DMS, which some people it wasn't good
enough for. There's some person that like, oh, you barely
addressed it. But Marvel Alliance addressed it, tipping the hat
of who this person is, and I go, you know what,
I wanted to be a bigger person, not go publicly
about some issues because who knows this is a misunderstanding
or whatnot, because this is a good long term friend
and you never know. But the man in question is
mister Chrisopher Balga himself Chris Bolga. So a couple of
weeks ago, I co hosted Marvel Alliance with David, my
gimmick co host person, and you know, at the top
made a little joke because Chris, he has a whole spiel.
He has a bunch of things that he has to
think and shout out, and it's great because the show
is a sponsor. There's lots of stuff going on GWA
that he usually got shows almost every day of the week,
like us, so I get it right. So I was
making a little joke and just some jabs that I
should be added in that, right because you know, founder
that show ten years of geek riss, five years of Jua,
I should be added that and just had a little fun, right.
But then after the fact, people messaged me about the
news Marvel Alliance that had uploaded the week and two
weeks after with Chris and David back at it, and
I listen to it and Chris had made some maybe
some shots, maybe just some fun poking the bear. I
don't know. I would say some passive aggressive, passive aggressive comments,
some comments that are felt like I said some shots
and maybe lacking a little respect. I felt like mine
was pretty joky, you know, his felt a little more
on the serious route, right, So that's something to me.
I didn't know how to take that right and I
thought about going on he first, just calling him out
and trash talking. But Chris one of my good friends,
as I've said before, he's kind of the second and
command there. Gway has been there for a long time.
I go to him a lot of stuff. So I'm like,
I'm gonna figure it out in DMS and I'll talk
to him. And he had said that he had DM
me on that show. And I'm just busy, right, I've
said this before. Three jobs. Practically got the day job,
got the podcasting, which is usually four or five times
a week. We're back to filmmaking, which is the writing,
the filming. Tons of stuff's going on there, right, got
the five kids twins are still babies. Got time to
spend with the lady and then just try to sleep,
go to the gym, all that stuff. So very very
busy person didn't get a chance to look at it, right,
So I apologize on that front, and that's for me.
But I thought, okay, we'll eventually just come together talk
about it via DMS. That don't be squash, right. I'm
sure maybe it was joke and maybe better actor than
I thought, you know. But then get a couple more messages.
See a show you know, big fan of Dave Panya
the film Junkie, Watch that I see a comment on
a show, go okay, that's weird from a fan. And
then as Chris is signing off for because that's what
happens to vodka stream, right, you go on and when
you're tired, you got something to do, You're gonna sign off,
promote your stuff, and Dave luckily lets everyone go around
the room and promote stuff. So I was fine to
handle this in DMS. But I'm gonna just pull up
a little video here now and just like what happened
during that stream, which you know, I don't know we're
gonna talk about. I'm just gonna show the clip first,
hopefully we can all hear it, and then we'll go
from there.
Speaker 2: So here you go, appreciate, thank you, so look forward
to it. You'all have a great weekend. Check out our alliance.
Uh you know we uh we covered it, breaking out
everything with New York Comic Con and lots of ex.
Speaker 3: To give Chris all the thanks, all the hard work
he does in Marvel Marveliance. Stop it because without without Chris,
there would be no Marvel Alliance. Don't you all forget that,
especially you Travis.
Speaker 2: Things are going on. I'm gonna leave before I get
in trouble.
Speaker 1: Let him know.
Speaker 2: Careful what you wish.
Speaker 1: For Aaron dirty laundry. I would say, there, that's enough
hearing from Phil, you know her, enough Phil, Go sit
play some fucking nerdy Pokemon game that's out for the
tenth million time that they're doing the thing, same thing,
churning and turning over. You just next time Chris has entrance,
just or is outro Just sit down, be quiet player games,
you know, Go catch a beluga, Go catch a gargantuan,
Go kick a Rocky McPhee. What are the fuck pokemons?
Aren't that it's twenty tw Pokemon I get in the nineties,
big thing, Still playing it? What's going on? Sir? You know?
And that's one thing I'm sure Phil, when you play
those video games that you listen to Marvel Alliance, maybe
other GA shows, right, but Marvel Alliance, you know you've
been on there before. You know, Chris brought you on
on me, but you've been on there before. And I'm
sure when you listen to that and you enjoy that episode,
you're like, oh man, thanks Chris and David and formerly
Brent for doing all this stuff. But for me, you're
enjoying that because of the work that I do. You're
enjoying that because when Chris and David record an episode
and they get to go sit down or go to
sleep and go whatever. I'm up at twelve one am,
sometimes two, because I got all the deeper stuff. I
gotta fucking do too. I gotta put the ad times,
I gotta get the thumbnail, got to set up the stream,
all that type of stuff. You know. I gotta do
everything to get that show out there for the patrons,
for the listeners the next day, for people going live.
I have to you know, Chrystal remind me, which luckily
hey stream set up. But guess what who he's reminding
is me to set the stream up. I do all that,
and he deserves all the credit. Chris deserves lots of credit.
Maybe you could say most, but all the credit. I
don't know about that, because who started the podcast network.
It was Greg's idea, and I give Greg a lot
of credit, but I was the person that had the
foundation and actual tools to do that. I had the
tools that give them monetization and be paid day one.
We're for Geek. First, we had to work over five years.
So I created the network. I created Marvel Alliance. I
brought on Chris as the co host was on super
civil servants with Greg like the guy for this guy's
out of talent. We had good chemistry. I brought him
on and people they're gonna tell about my ego and
all this type of stuff. There's so much stuff you
don't even know about everything that's transpired, how much I
had to pour in to get that network run and
going in smoothly. And now I'm a lot busier. So
luckily everything's set. They do their good job. But even
all that work, and even to this day, Chris say,
I can do this show, but I can't upload, you know.
And of course he's got a family job. I get that.
But for me to this day and way in the
back and Chris gonna test this, I didn't get paid
a single dime for my Marvel Alliance hosting or edit.
And that's fine because I'm a nice guy. I want
people to have the show. I like Chris, I like Brent,
I like David. Want to quote I have no issue,
but people want to talk like I still do nothing.
You know, I do a lot all those times because
geek Fris of course gets a cut from GA. We're
produced of that network. But when I hosted Marvel or
Chris gonna test this. I didn't take a single dine
and not because he wanted to hold it. Again. Good guys,
I don't know you should say no, no, no, that's fine.
Geek for sorry gets a cut. Don't feel good about that.
But it's not just all so it's a lot of me.
So Phil and everyone else, don't question that, and especially
don't forget it, and especially mister Chris Boga, who I
will talk to. I do have another surprise for you
coming up. You want to do this stuff, or maybe
you talk to some people behind my back, or some
listened come to chime in, or there's happening, which again
dirty laundry on the network. You're on Dave's show, saying, Oh,
I'm a little trouble, don't know thing's going on. You
got to say that. I didn't say anything like that
with names before, but now there's a line drawn. But
like I said, don't question it, don't forget it, especially you,
mister Balga. I hope that you can kind of understand
where I'm coming from. As I've said before, fucking went
the wrong one. We don't want to do this, We
don't want to do this. But like I said, next
little Day weekend, Mike, got a little surprised for you,
and you won't see it coming. I don't think. I
think you're going to be quite surprised when this comes
to you. So, you know, just a little fun. But
I just had to throw that out there because it's
kind of got way out of control. So hey, us
producers are important too. Of course everyone's important there. I'm
just saying when someone said Chris deserved all the credit,
family Clay, there's a lot to go in there, you know,
and I've just a lot of chiming in and people
that don't know anything. So just saying, play your Pokemon host,
your Marvel alliance, be a good guy. Uh, let's see. Okay,
so h Hunter Iggy, I'm gonna talk about I'll talk
about the James Gunn thing after because we're gonna talk
about the dc U stuff now with Andy and everything,
so we're gonna get in that. So I apologize for
the beginning there, but I just had to address some
things because yeah, enough DM and enough bothering. It's okay,
I kind of want this thing to go away. That's it,
but let's have some fun. We got fifty minutes. Let's
go Andy Muschetti and his producer is is a Barbara Muschetti,
which I learned during the flash was his sister and
not his wife. I think for half of gig versus.
I said, oh, him and his wife, him and his wife,
because I was used to Zach and Debbie or Chris
and his wife. Right, But they talked about someone asked like, oh,
he's still working on that, and like the sisters, A, yeah,
that's still a plan. It's still much and you know,
I can't remember the exact quote. Maybe I did share
it to myself, but because I didn't share them full
quote because it wasn't much I had to worry about there.
But he did say where, oh, you know, we can
talk about that in a couple of months, And they said,
I've said too much already. So as of right now,
it's which one thing I would like people to ask
is with gun there's just a few things with Andy Muschetti.
He always talks about, like oh, Matt Reeves or the
Batman or raying the Boldhouse change, which we'll get into
as well. But I feel like maybe he's not all out.
I feel like just no one's ever out wrapped like
outright asked him, Hey, is Andy Muschetti directing Batman? Now?
He said that, right, So, and I've said this before
with Robert pass and with all this stuff. Granted, there's
many things that Gun says that I feel like is
a twisting of the truth or just maybe things changed
and that happens, right, So that's that's okay, But I'm
trying to for this big stuff take him at his
word where it goes. Okay, Robert Passon's separate. That's great. Uh,
you know Andy, he said that years ago that he
said that around Flash Time, and he's directing it. Great.
He hasn't said anything otherwise but just been quiet, and
especially when he's doing press for suit Man, there's lots
of talk about Matt Reeves and not Andy Muschetti. Right
for me on this front where Andy says, hey, in
a couple months, which that that's interesting, right, because what
could that mean in a couple months. Could that mean
Batman's appearing on a different project and they're casting that.
Could that just mean they're gonna sit down? Because at
the same time, you could easily get because they've said it,
which we're gonna be reviewing. Welcome to Dari's gonna go
three seasons in a couple months. It could be a hit,
and then they go, oh, you know, I'm just so
busy working on this project. We want to do two
more seasons. I'm going to pass off to the Batman
someone else, and I can't wait to work with James
Gunn in the future. Right, Or it's just that it'll
be done press and the show will be out and
then kind of focus on that, right, because maybe Andy's
not gonna show run every season of the IT Show, right,
So I don't know where they're going to go with
this as right now, I'm just gonna take it is
that he is, because he's saying this obviously wouldn't really matter.
We had Ben Affleck on a comic con saying I'd
be an ape on the ground for Matt Reeves. Right,
you can't believe anything. Like we just talked about in
the check out our canteen of conversations me and Taylor
when we talked about the canceled Ben Soul film, Hollywood
is just a constant game. Do I think I still
am gonna? I was very much know and like, do
these coms change anything? And I first I think I
was gonna say, oh, yeah, I think he is. But
for me, I'm still gonna lean. I'm gonna lean to
know right now. Now. The thing about Hollywood, it is
a what have you done for me lately? Right? And
with the Flash, which I enjoyed, I liked the Flash.
I was wrong about the Flash where I thought a
lot more people were gonna enjoy the Flash. I remember
watching it in the weekend after like even our listeners
talking to them and a variation to loved it. Thought
I was all right to hated it, and I was like, oh,
I didn't see that. I thought this would be a
crowd pleaser right same way as Superman. I said, you know,
I was running the money there where I said, Okay,
I think the mainstream's gonna really like this, but I
think it's gonna be divisive with some people. And it was.
I don't think i've said before it's not divisive like
BVS or Last Jedi. But I've met way more people
than I thought that weren't gonna like it, whether it's parents,
whether it's Emily, and a lot of people just say, oh,
maybe a bit too goofy and stuff. But I thought,
oh wow, this is not I did see that, but
I mean like when on the lead up to Superman,
I did not think we're gonna get that tight saw
went Okay, I can see how multiple people might feel
about this, right, but the Flash, I was said on
that and I think I said on that review I
was happy with Andy doing the Flash because I'll see,
I like is it stuff? And I liked his Batman
stuff in the Flash. And for me, you can never
find me saying anywhere that I don't think Andy should
direct the Batman. I just was in question of the
Flash was a double where it came out to a
mixed reception critically in fans, and then it ball into
the box office. Right, it's a box office failure. So
that's the thing of Kay And I remember they announced
it that week and if Andy was doing Flash, and
I was like, oh, that's very quick, and they're very confident.
I guess, right. But we've seen a countless amount of
times where you know, the almost stars, but countless amount
of times where someone's announced for something and a project
comes out and it doesn't do well or something happens,
they go we're gonna go a different way. Schedule differences,
creative differences, all that, Chaz, Right, so that's where I
was where I'm still fine with Andy doing this. I've
said before as long as matt Reeves finishes his trilogy,
which I'm not saying it has to hold up a
gun point, but like, if he wants to do that
and they let him, I don't really care who they
get as the like I do care. Of course, Batman's
my favorite character. If they get like you bowl be like, man,
what's James Gunn smoking over there? Right? But I mean
I care to a lesser degree of Okay, I'm going
to my Matt Reeves grounded detective tail cool get Andy.
It's not the be all end all. Obviously, if the
Batman goes away and that's not a thing, that becomes
a bit more critical for who's Batman, who's directing it?
But I thought Andy was a good to solve it,
like assault, A good choice. Probably even better than that,
I'd say a good choice. I love it chapter one,
I know it chapter two, and I think for some
reasons gets maligned a little bit. I don't dislike it
nearly to them. I dislike things about it, but I
don't dislike it as a bunch of other people. Like
a letter box. I get that thing of four to five,
you know, and flash. I enjoy it. I get people's critiques.
I think some are valid. I think some are for
different reasons or they have different motivations behind it. But
I mostly criticisms I get are vowed. It's just mileage.
Mileage may vary for people, right as far as your
cons and what you like and don't like. So and
we'll see what happens with the TV show. I've never
seen the Mama movie with Chastain and Nicholas Kragolasque, however
you say his name from Game of Thrones, but I'm
fine with him as a director. I just still it's
gonna be curious as I just feel like Gun never
talked about that much, and I feel like people don't
ask me on that much. But as right now he
says he's doing it, and maybe that's the idea right
where this show's gonna come out. It's gonna let's say
it does good numbers wise, even though I still think
they should have released it a little earlier in the
Halloween season. You know, obviously they released episode one this week,
the week of Halloween, but it's still just kind of
feel you missed the boat on some stuff, but that's okay.
I think reception has been I don't know, it's I
feel like the people that are loving it are absolutely
loving it, so that's good. But then that's still like
just like a seven on Rondomeles, right, and that's not
a bad thing. Don't get me wrong. People would kill
for that, right. I'm just saying, as far as I
feel like, I saw the reviews being much higher, but
then the actual score didn't match that, right. I feel
like a lot of time you'll see the reactions and
then the score comes out it's like a ninety, a
high eightie, and you're like, okay, that tracks where this
is like a high seventy. Okay. I thought people were
talking more about this, but I'm assuming I'm going to
like the majority of it. So for me, I is
he still that could be the case. Right comes out,
viewership ratings, all this stuff, reviews, it's all going well, right,
it's all happening, and then that's the perfect time to go, hey,
you love the show this guy did. He's doing Batman, X,
Y and Z. We'll have to see. I think I'm
playing it safe and just saying I don't think as
full as we'll talk about I can't talk about that
on air, but I'm glad. I'm glad. Yeah, I don't
want to say anything more. I I just I just
don't know. I've always said too with and I think
people we don't know this as well. When James Gunn
is like, I'm working on the script with the writer,
they wouldn't say who it was. I was in the
camp and I've never thought about it where he has
written some of the stuff but not all stuff. Right,
So some people took that as like, oh, that's it.
Gun's working on this with somebody, and even Andy was like, yeah,
I'll see the script and we'll kind of go from there, right,
and same thing. It's tough, it's the same thing. We're
gun he'll do that thing where hey, Batman situation's completely handled,
nothing's going on, and then they're like, well, lots is
up in the air and we're gonna find out and see, right.
So it's like kind of why does he say these
things in the sense of Andy and one interview saying well,
in a couple months, we're gonna let you know. And
then Gun, which will get into the dcview part, he
just said that there's gone through big changes, like it's
changed a lot since the Brain Bowl, which I see
a lot of Damian Wayne fans pretty worried because it's like, Okay,
is that even happening? And I don't even know if
that's happening anymore. And that's the thing where oh, you'd
be a nice to quiet and here Ian doesn't like
when I call her out, she's in the room. That's
the thing where what are those big changes? And could
that be? Same thing with Anny's tumbil Right, they're nailing
down the script. But at the same time, that's also
a good scapegoat of Hey, when I'm Annie Muschetti, I
signed on due Brain Bowl, this pitch with Damian Wayne,
this exact version of the Batman movie, and now it's changed.
That's a perfect way to say whether it's genuine or
not that he's out right, and I don't know so
right now, I'm still just leaning towards I don't think
he's gonna track. This movie is still at least three
years away, right because the Batman and Superman or Sorry,
Man of Tomorrow come on twenty twenty seven, so it's
not coming out that year. Gunna said there has to
be some separation between the two. I think it should
be a year and a half at least, but I
guess one year you get away with. But yeah, let's
say twenty twenty eight, so go in production. Maybe late
twenty six. Sometimes it's twenty seven, And again that depends
what if Annie's doing the series right, So for me,
I'm still leaning towards no. I still people would probably
think I'm creat is he saying this? I still think
there's a chance that Gun could end up directing it.
He's just I feel like a lot lately talked about
how much he loves Batman, and he won't name that
secret screenwriter he said. I think he said it's not him,
But it's like he's also said a lot of other
stuff too, right, and he could have not been him,
and now it is him, right, So I really don't know,
So we'll see. Let's pull up some of these updates.
He did a bunch of interviews. I don't really know
why or what I'm missing Why he did these because
we had the Peacemaker finale. I don't know if it's
to promote that. Still, I feel like those would have
been earlier. Well, we don't have lanterns until March, so
nothing's going on there, but I will pull up. He
did a bunch of and he did a bunch of
like YouTube interviews and stuff, and I get it. I
get people on him on the show. But one of
the things I think, I just I don't know, feel
cringey seeing is he'll tweet at James Gunn and it'll
be like a thumbnail of their Superman review and it's
like best Superman ever. And I'll be like, you know,
I really loved your Superman movie. I'd love you to
come on. It's like that's great, and I hope it
happens for you. I just feel like that's like a
like I don't want that per I don't I don't
need the person to hate Superman that's interviewing him. But
I just feel like we get very low ball questions
when it's oh, what do you want? Why did he
fly like that in this scene? You know, but let's
say something, Yeah, this is what I talked about this.
So here's just a list of big stuff he said
over the past little bit. A lot has changed with
brain Bold's story since announced, So same thing that could
mean so much. If this is a situation where and
I would give him so much credit. Right of, let's
say years ago when Matt Reeves, because we had heard
we heard the Robin rumors again recently, right, and we
had heard I think I checked on the podcast like
two years ago before James Gunn was the fucking DC's
studio president. I'm pretty sure we heard these rumors that
Robin was in a version of the script. Right, And
let's say they want to do that, And the idea was, well,
that is Dick Grayson, it's an adoptive orphan, and this
is his son, whose league of a Seen's and all
this stuff and tied to razzle Ghul Italian Ghol. That's
different enough. Right, Maybe there's a time where they go,
if we want this Batman out movie soon? Is this
Batman movie out soon? Should we have two Robins? And
I would you know, and I'm not saying he shouldn't.
I'm not saying you should bend the kne No, I
would just caution them both, guys, reevesan gun of if
you guys are putting out two Batman movies, like having
Robin in them both, I know one is his son,
but that's still I'm not gonna say confusing and that
that's where I'll push back to. It's just not even
confusing because I agree with Guns to that statement. Sometimes
it's us that makes a bigger deal about that stuff. Right.
They might just look at and go, this one has
a role and this one has a realblem that feels
like the same thing. I don't need to see that.
I just saw one of the robin. It's not different enough, right,
especially now, I feel like Gun is kind of walked
back the whole Batman's gonna be older. He never did
say that, but I think he kind of insinuated that
where now he's kind of I think, kind of put
out there that he could be in his early thirties,
which again I've said this before. If fucking Damian Wayne,
if it is, if he's ten years old, you could
have Bruce at nineteen knock up tallya. It could be
early like early days of him being Batman or early
days of him trainer or meeting Race whatever. Right Like,
you could still have Batman be in his thirties and
have a ten year old kid, And that's almost better
because he's like, not better because I still want the
dick grace and everything like that. But it's like that's
the point where it's like, man, it's not a season
Batman getting a son. It's a non season Batman and
a guy that's probably has like lacking some life experience, right,
because even myself, like, you know, I guess I'm thirty
two in a bunch of kids. But that's different because
I'm not crime fighting. You know. One of my goals
is to have a big family and kids that I
have time to spend with them. Bruce does have time
to spend in uh, let's go see a movie. Well,
I doesn't want to do that, probably because you know,
sometimes parents can get shot all that stuff, but like
it doesn't have time to like just go roast marshmallows
with Dick Race. Right, they're doing something completely different, but
that could mean anything. That statement of it's changed a
lot since the announcement. Maybe Robin's not in it. Maybe
Batman's a lot younger. Maybe it's a different Robin, which
would be fucking weird as well too, because if Robin
is in Matt Reeves's script, what happens there, what I
want to see with it, I really don't know. My
big thing is that's where, yeah, I would prefer any
to direct the Gun. I don't really want that. I
don't want Gun. I'm kind of fine with the story
by credit, but I don't want Gun to be directing it.
I personally, yeah, would want Dick Rayson in the DCU
first and to see that go, because the way I
would have it is, I would rather Matt Reeves's films
be just Batman and in this one batmanily Dick Rayson
and you build up to all that stuff, because I
know you could do in flashback, but imagine for the
general audience that doesn't know what happens to Jason Todd
and what a way to make that joker such a
piece of shit, you know, like, if you're to build
up to that again though, that's years of stuff. Even
in these interviews, which he was saying in a joking manner,
but Gun's like, oh, I have plans beyond Man of Tomorrow.
If I can make it to that, right, that could
mean anything Box Office, et cetera. His contract, but I
think he can read the writing on the room, which
we'll talk about. WB is now offish yet for sale.
His job is not secure. If I am the people
taking over of Tobos be four, I would keep James
Gunn I've talked about this, you know m clays in
the chat. I think that he has liked you know,
DCU a lot more than me. I haven't really been
digging yet. But because it's a coherent, coherent, cool fucking Christ,
that means it's time for water at water break right there.
Because it is a core, coherent vision for the fifth time,
and people enjoy it and it's seeming somewhat successful. Superman
I think is success to the box office. Peacemaker. You
can argue because streaming ratings are all tough. He'll talk
about how to make certain charts. To me, that's up
to the studio, because we've seen studios like this show
is the number watch of the year, number one, blah
blah blah, and there's no season two, there's no this.
It doesn't mean anything really right, It's how much does
it cost and what does the studio deem a success
for the numbers they want to actually get, not the
data we see because that's all messed up. Same thing
of like oh it's again, people will not peacemaker. But
if you watch it at home, even a family show,
if I watched them last night too, be me and
my family watched Pumpkinhead, right, that's ral Stein like Goosebumpsy
Halloween one. That was seven of us watching that, but
on Nielsen Rainia. I'm just gonna count as one. Right,
So it's not a perfect math. That to me is
like with the streaming stuff. We can't really know what
the deal is with that, right, But to me, I
would say keep it going. And that's the thing where
he knows, and that's where anybody has to prepare themself.
We'll talk about that again in a second. But who knows.
There's now all these companies involved. They could love what
Gun's doing. They could think, hey, we like it, but
we're gonna give you a year to see if it
can because what if they look at Superman? There is
I guarantee you some exec out there that is looking
at the Superman box off but like, wow, that's disappointing
the same way the same way they did that with
Man of Steel in BVS. Now, granted, am I in
the camp that I think it's not embarrassing, but I do.
I think it's underwomen. The BVS didn't make a billion sure,
does that mean it was not successful? No? And that's
something now today they'd kill for nearly nine hundred million
dollar movie, right It just the context of the MCU
is killing it put a billion close to two billion, right,
So at that time they looked at man still in
BVS when these are disappointments, shake up, change this so
same thing. Whoever gets it Amazon, Apple WB Hopefully they
well they're not gonna we know they're selling Netflix whatever.
I would hope they look at this and go, hey,
it's doing this, let's keep with it, right because I
think if you shake it up again to me, if
you shake up WB and I guess we're kind of
talking about this at the same time, so we're just
throw the topic in one. If you shake it up
and let's say you kill gun and want to reboot
either there's two things you have to go with this
universe and change the showrunner, but kick Cavills or not. Sorry,
that's a Frudian slip. Corn Sweat's staying. This person's saying,
I don't think the general Ellioce right now would be
accepting of a reboot, not because like we love this sament.
It just kind of thing to me, Oh that's tiring.
I think it's different if oh, they're doing a Superman
where he dropped down in Russia. If they know, oh
this is something different from that one. Okay, But if
it's a welcome to your new DC universe, I think
people will be over because I think people already with
connected universes are stingy on what they want to jump
on and jump off on, right, or just jump on.
I think people are jumping off a lot of stuff
because it's time, it's time, it's money. There's so much content,
there's so much stuff. Well, look at the things I
have to watch. It's like me and eimis this backlog
where it's like, we're good, we could I don't want
the strikes to happen because we need content for the show.
But like the strikes would happen for two years and
we still be behind on content. Right. So that's the
thing where I don't think you could reboot it, and
it so you can't reboot it. You just go with
this universe and change it a little bit, right, like
what they're trying to do with the Snyder stuff. And
we saw how Wishazam and Black Adam that could get messy, right,
or you just do solo superhero films. Nothing connected wonder Woman, Superman, Batman.
I think that's the way to go. I don't think
you can reboot again. There's too much going on there.
And before we get to the rest of stuff, let
me just pull up the tab of the people, because
it's pretty much like everyone because at first it was okay,
a couple of weeks ago, uh, it was just Paramount,
like WB might sell and Paramont's the one, right, And
then it was well, Paramount and Netflix, and now people
have been like, oh, the we have talked about this
with other people. But when I can't remember his name,
but the Netflix co president whatnot today, Yeah, we have
a little interest in buying them. That means shit, you
think this, Like so I agree with or I believe
with a couple of weeks ago and they asked David
Elison like what about WB, and just said, oh, well,
there's lots of companies out there that could really help
us and it would be a great fit. But no, cammon, WB.
This could be literally fucking with people in the press.
Maybe that's a gentleman like, oh, I know it's out there,
we actually have no interest in WB. Maybe that's real,
But I could also be a tactic to undermine other
people and put out there you can't believe anything that's
being said. Right now, Paramount really wants it. Apparently it
came out this morning that WB has turned them down
three times, three times this last offer they offer daves
as off to be a co CEO CEO in this purchase,
and it's all over the map, right, So that's the
thing of like, Okay, what is that gonna mean? Does
that mean that they like eventually David and WB are
just deny, deny, deny. So you just get up to
this because I think the rumors they kind of want
like thirty dollars per share. Is that the plan where
it's just gonna or is that the scenario where they
just do that until they can kind of overprice them
to what they want they're not gonna budget. Or is
it getting into part where Paramoan's like, got fuck it,
I don't want to do this, like this is enough.
We've offered this, this and this, you have it, We'll
go get something else, right, and then something swoops in
but all the ones because where I think it was
all of them but Disney, right, did I not share?
I think I shared it in the GA So I
gotta pull up the GWA here the chat which you
know Chris at work, so he probably hasn't seen anything.
I said. I'm sure it might get a little hot
on there, but you know what I'm I'm warm blooded.
I'm ready for the heat any day of the week.
Companies were poorly interested in buying Warm Brothers assets Apple, Amazon, Netflix, NBC,
Universal and Paramount. Right, so we talk about Paramount. We
talked about Netflix and yeah, Netflix, I don't want to
rank them, and in Universal, I think that's what everyone's
kind of wanting. There was kind of a report today
that you know, we're gonna get a little political here.
Obviously a lot of these things in the past would
not have been able to happen because they talk about God,
why am I I'm forgetting the term. But it's something
where they don't want a monopoly. They won't don't want
all the big companies just to own other big companies,
so we don't end up with just two to three
big companies, which were kind of but the idea is well,
with Paramount, they could buy it because they could easily
get past certain restrictions regulations. Because David Elson and people
in his camp are friends with Trump, and that's a
oh easy good to go, right, that's through a universal
that that could be a hiccup because and and NBC
and other news outlets on there and how they cover Trump,
whatever you think about it, Fuck that guy, whatever you
think about it. They would might block it because they go, ah, like,
you know, you trash me all the time, I'm not
gonna let you have this company, right, or maybe they
don't care. I don't know, but that's some people have
put out there as an industry inside has been we've
heard that could be a hole up for them, right,
and then you got Amazon, Netflix, Amazon, it does some
great stuff. And here's the thing. I've said this before,
I'll say this again. I didn't want this to happen.
When the Paramount thing got turned down. I thought, maybe
there is some hope that WBE is gonna go. You
know what, we had a great year, we're rolling. Let's
play this out because maybe we can would become bigger
than we thought and we won't need these people, or
we could become bigger. They're already bigger than a paramount
on the film side, right, like maybe we can you know,
all those forty plus openings they have the top box
office here. Maybe we can just turn it around. So
I thought, maybe there's a chance. I still if you
asked me, are the gonna sell I would have said yes,
But I thought maybe there is no on I'm one
near Tuesday's as off put a statement. Yeah, we'reugh for Salem.
You know, twenty twenty six, mid twenty twenty six, that's
the goal, right, could be before that. So I don't
want any of this. I don't want like in the
sense that when I say I want Apple to get them,
do I want Apple that's already a fucking billion trillion
corporation that has all this stuff to get this? And
then you know, fuck, when I go to some park
with a DC ride, they got you gotta have an
Apple app to do this? Or what the no? I
don't I don't want any of this. Excuse me, I
don't want any of this. But it's happening, right, So
it has to be the lesser of two evils to
pick the devil, you know, And that's the one I
want because the quality is there. And I think that
I was talking about this with the GA people and
other people. It's just Apple doesn't have big IP yet.
And to the aforementioned Chris Bogga's point when we were
talking about this before a lot of this stuff went down.
They don't have like a like their movie track record
is very iffy, right, it's the shows right now where
it's people. Not many people watch all the shows, but
it's high quality stuf, you know, and the movies are
so so Obviously they had a big hit with F
One earlier this year. I think that if they had
a hit with this then or sorry, if they had
all of these IP obviously they would have to change
focus because you're not gonna just do a Batman show
Suitman show with Amazon. I think it's already because they
got Bond, they got other stuff, so I don't need
them to have everything. And also I just don't know.
I need to see what happens with Bond. I know
they have other franchises and IP that they're doing. They've
done great stuff with Invincible and The Boys and other stuff, right,
stuff I don't watch. But for me, Bond is like
a really big test. I need to see how they
do that, because if that's iffy, then I go do
I want them with the DC characters? But if I
was ranking this, I would go Apple, Well, no, I
would go Universal because I'd like, like that'd be a
big sew on the arm for a universal, and we
know they're gonna keep theatrical. Apple is doing theatrical movies,
but they're not. They could just use obviously they get
WB and use it as a distributed or now right,
they wouldn't even have to pay anything. Now, the old dealer,
it's like, hey, you want F one, we'll make a deal,
just like, well, just send that to the WB wing,
right like they'll do that. So for me, though, I'm
still gonna go NBC Universal, which not a promise, not
a guarantee they're gonna put content. None of these are right,
So NBC Universal, Apple, Amazon, Paramount, Netflix, that would be
the way. I still think Paramount will get it. And
to all this stuff, that's why God made the joke
of who knows where I'll be, because we don't know
what any of these people. These are now five different
big organizations other than Disney, which to me makes sense.
I just didn't. They got Marvel, they got Star Wars,
which they should sell, they got other stuff. I just
getting all the w B stuff. I just don't think
they see the needs like we already have those like
like Star Wars to Harry Potter kind of similar, right
in the sense of younger fan. Well you used to,
hope so, but I used to be like a big
fantasy sci fi one. Right With with DC, they got Marvel,
and I don't think they want to. Sure, I don't
as like you can do Marvel and DC, but I
still think you could do Marvel and DC down the
line with partner with the company the same way they
do with Sony, Right, So yeah, we don't know. Super
Mike says, it just sucks the thing that HBO brand
could just die after this, So yeah, it's an iconic
thing to me, it shouldn't. It should stay a channel
and they should keep it going. It should be kind
of similar to what twentieth centuries has been. Also that
used to be twenty fox century. But yeah, I hope
it doesn't go away. Why would you get away that
like iconic? There's not many brands that have that, right
and Hunter, Yeah, I'm gonna get to that right now
because we just transitioned over to this conversation here. Gun
says in the DCU goes beyond Man tomorrow and want
to direct more DC after Man tomorrow response to the
Snyder cult that they are not interested in w and
Netflix response to Snyer cult that they are not interested
in WB. I already talked about that. So if you
go back Hunter, I talked about all that stuff. I'm
sure Gun wants to direct. Obviously, we'll have to see
what happens. And I can't believe Netflix at all because
they didn't say like they I don't think it was
a Snyder cult person. They were asked right like I
think they were asked in an interview like something official,
Hey are you buying w B. I don't think a
Snio cult guy tweeted at some big president for Netflix like,
I don't know. If I'm wrong, then what's this guy doing?
That's kind of odd. But what I've said before, Hunter,
if you missed it, I don't trust any of them,
and not like I'm saying they're evil people, just they
could be literally negotiating the press. Yeah, we don't really.
It's like the pretending like you don't like somebody, but
you do. What if that's the idea, because oh, yeah,
they have no interest in the boom they buy it, right,
So we don't know anything. We don't know these buildings
or these meetings. We're not the end of these buildings.
We just have to kind of figure out after the fact, right,
so we will see. Okay. So the other thing is
he said dark Side will not be the big Bat
or the ruler of Salvation. James is more interested interested
in the concept of the government ran prison, which makes
sense for a bunch of stuff. They just even said that.
He said Zach did him in a really cool way,
and he's similar to Fanos, so from me makes all
sense to me, Like you can get to dark Side
really at any point. He's if the universe successful, and
that's a big bat. And the same thing is if
you were to do because when people were saying Superman
and if you were saying, oh, World's Finest, that's gonna
be the sequel right away, you were gonna get well,
that's just like Zack Snyder's DCEU, right, like it could
have been Superman World's Finest and then dark Side. You
want to do something on your own, right, And I've
heard Center might be the villain, which I like New Frontier.
I usually don't like the concept of like a big
island that's a life, but I like Justice League, New Frontier.
So I am a fan of that. So, uh, let's see.
You think it's Brainiac or Vandal Savage. Yeah, I think
it's you know, a friend of the show, RJ. He'd
put out there and he sometimes hears some stuff that
it's the center. Look it up. That fits with certain
things that have been other people said and just hinted at.
And it fits with James Gunn multiple times as posted
Justice League New Frontier stuff, and that's the villain of that.
So I think that's gonna be the first big bad.
But I'm fine with Mongol, Brain Vandal Sanviwach. I think
Brain's gonna end up being a Superman villain. I don't
know if you'll ever be like the Fanos or dark
Side of a DCU chapter, but maybe he will be.
He can work right, he's a big threat. So we
really don't know. But to me, that makes sense, and
I like that's one thing I do like he's specifying. Hey,
the Salvation Run has a civil war between Joker and
Lex that's not happening. Dark Side's a big bad in
that because the second that happened, because I don't I've
never read the Salvation Run. The second that happened all over.
My timeline was like, he's doing dark Side, he's doing
New Guts, He's doing this. It's like, and I had
to take the word. I'm like, okay, I've never read this.
I guess he's a big part. I like that right
away to stop expectations, because I think that's what he
does have to do if that Peacemaker finale. A lot
of people think he kind of screwed up with that.
Is say hey, I know dark Side's there for you
Klonk nerds. He's not here right now, dark Side you
can get to any point. So I like that. I
like that both what he said and also, yeah, we
don't need to do dark Start right now. There's tons
of other DC characters. Let people. I also, as an oppose,
I was like, okay, not the majority of people have
seen Zack Senter's Justice League, right, so maybe they don't
even know who darks it is. He was take out
of the theatrical cut. I probably would say that there's
still more people that have seen the theatrical cut than
the Snyder cut, right, So so I was like, you
could get away with it, but I prefer this. So
Kevin Davis says do you think James Gun's going back
to the mcud Elson would take over. So obviously you're
just saying like, okay, let's say Elson gives him the boot, right,
Let's just say it's that because I same thing. It
could be the all opposite, right, Maybe Gun doesn't like
this guy. Maybe for X, Y and Z, He's like,
you know what, don't want to work for paramount. This
is not what I signed up for. I don't want
to do this. Thank you, had a great time being
DCU president, but I'm out of here. When do you
go back to the MCU. I don't know. I think
I would kind of like, who knows. I'm just gonna
like imagine this that Jameson's doing some fat checks. I
wonder if he could because he even said, like, hey,
you know, I thought some things about Keim fighting not
on nagyaway. He says they're friends, he respects all that stuff.
It just like I thought there was things I could
do differently, And now that I've been in this role,
I see what Kevin was doing and now I understand
why I did that. I wonder if you can go
back to being the coach to quarterback? Right, This is
example people walk with me. If you're not a wrestling fan, people,
I'm sure you've heard of Cody Rhoades before he went
back to w V. He started a new wrestling company
called aw after he left, and he was a god
what was it, a co CEO or something like that,
or EVP, And then when he left and went for
ww it could just be tough, but he said, you
know what, at that age, I wasn't ready to be EVP.
I didn't want to be doing that at that age.
There's too much. I just want to be a rastler
right now and maybe get to that again when I'm retired.
It could be that where after he's left, he's like,
you know what, I just want to make movies and
that's it. Whether that's going to the MCU, whether that's
doing his own thing, who knows. That's what I would
actually like, because I don't love everything Gun has done lately,
but he has a style and I think people like it.
I would love it if he opened up his own
production company and started just doing so like Super and
Slither again. I really am curious at one point to
hopefully see a original James Gun project again. Right, that's
okay if we don't. For a while he's doing the
DCU think but when you go back to the MCU,
I would say, Kevin, they'd be like fifty to fifty
because I think there's something where if they start to
think about Guardian stuff, and let's say he's a free agent,
they say, hey, we're gonna maybe do this. You want
to come back in the fold, and Maybe says yes.
People might forget. Before the whole tweets and firing, he
was being kind of prepared to be the second in
command with Kevin because he was gonna be a big
like they're gonna do a whole space saga and all
that stuff in a space universe. Gun was gonna be
like the runner of that. Right, I'll see Fig. He's
still over him, but he was gonna hand the keys
to Gun to a lot of stuff. And maybe that's
it where hey, I can still be creative, but now
I only got to do a pocket where I don't
need to worry about Avengers. I don't need to worry
about Wolverine or X men. I can get Let's say
he says, FIG's like, hey, I'm giving you twenty characters,
worry about this. Go maybe so and he's always talked
good about Kevin. He has more experienced, So I don't know.
James Gunn don't know. I don't think it's possible. So
that's why Kevin, I think it's like a fifty to
fifty if you'd go back, because like Guaid, who knows,
maybe he doesn't want to do combook stuff after that.
Let's see Hunter says, I see James Gunn DCU as
three decided and Zack Snarer we obviously with dark Side,
and James Gunn is playing the long game. Okay, yeah, no,
I agree with that. Kevin says, My only concern with
David Elson buying to BB is they're going to try
and take politics out to please Trump administration. Families will
go see Zotopia too and Wicked for a good for
good at the theaters in November. Yeah, I I agree
with that. That's a whole longer. COO, what's my other
topic here? Because I feel like we're going down some
routes here. Yeah I could. I'll we don't need to
talk about Fincher Star Wars. I'll kick that the next
week because if I don't, we get to it. Fincher
was supposed to be directing a Star Wars movie. He
won final cut and the budget got too big and
they said, sorry, we can't do that. Lame way they do.
That budget's too big. The final cut thing scares them.
But it just sucks that Dave Vencher could drict stars on.
There's my quick thoughts. So I think, like, I agree
with you as far as that is a worry either
taking up politics or leans one way. But also we
have content that leaves many content right. There's some content
that leaves heavily to the left, heavily to the right,
and I can see And this is where I'm not
saying they're right, because I like things that challenge people, right.
The same reason why with Superman I gave a lot
of credit gun is I kind of botch speaking about it.
But when they were doing that storyline of the two
countries and the smaller one the one being oppressed and
the big one like kind of overloading them and stuff
is like, that's ballsy the ms. You does do some
things like that, but just that was very current day stuff, right,
and you could argue that someone might see they go,
oh take that out. Now. Here's my counter argument, though,
I like that stuff, and I think it still should
be in some stuff, but I think there's people on
both sides, the left and the right. We've talked about
this a few times, whether it's Dared or Mickey seventeen,
that might just be done with politics in the sense
of we hear it so much, it's in our face
so much, it's in our social feeds. And I feel
like now since for and I always say this, in America,
it was you guys with the Trump election the first time,
and for us in Canada it was COVID. I had
never heard anyone's politics so much until COVID happened. Then
it was like, you know, everybody on your friend Facebook list,
whether they are your dad's friend, of a friend or
someone you went to Great two with, you know if
they are right or left because something has come up.
And I'm even guilty right because it's just like you.
There was like a line drawn, and I think there's
for me. And I've said this before, where you know,
I watched Editton this year, But when a movie gets
announced and hopefully they're stopping. But when a movie in
the last five years gone out, it's like, here's the
plot line it ends with and during COVID or during
the pandemic. I go augh, I don't want to relive
that Eddington I watched because I like our astro's work.
But for me, it's like everything of the political stuff,
awkward stuff with friends of you know, doing Christmas parties
and being like, hey, I'm not vaccinating, Like well, this
guy's dad's sick, we can't have you here all why
that's you know, blah blah. It's like we just can't
like that, Like we don't feel comfortable because he didn't
feel comfortable, right, And I got to go with somebody
that's trying to protect their dad's help. As shitty as
that situation is, right, we've all had those. So for me,
I'm never wanting to relive the pandemic covid times. I
think that's a lot of political stuff where there could
be the most left person in the world, probably not right,
but the most left person in the world, and they
might sit down and be like, you know what, Superman two,
I'd really just like him to fight an alien, you know,
I just don't really like him to do nothing, like
nothing that is against us, like thinking about left or
right or conservative or liberal. And I understand that I
don't have that yet because I think for me I was.
I've always been political into that type of stuff. I
think because my dad used to watch CNN and Fox News.
And my dad's very left, but he would watch Fox News,
as he told me, like, you always got to hear
the both sides. I don't think he does now because
in my opinion and probably his, they've gone a little overboard.
But back in the day, it's like you can't have
an educated opinion if you're not talking to the other side, right,
which also we've lost a lot of now it's just
this is my side, this is my side. Great, we've
all been guilt of that. I try nowadays to hear
everyone out, almost everyone, but that's where now and for me,
I grew with that, grew with my dad watching the
Daily Show. I spent a lot of times in the States,
a lot of time too when it was election years,
so I would talk to people down there and you'd
see stuff, you'd drive I see the signs. So for me,
that stuff never bugs me. I feel like I'm more
politically charged than a lot of other people, even in
the podcast sphere were until maybe past couple of years
or whatnot. And that's because with age you have to
vote right both COVID that's not my bag, and that
was a bad time for friends politics. Family sucked having
kids during COVID, and like all the stuff you get
to do, like Halloween, twenty five percent of them are
doing it. Christmas you can't go see your family like
that was a shit time, right, And I think a
lot of people look right now and they're not wrong.
All sides of spectrum. This is shit time. So there's
pros and cons. I think to me, it's like, I'm it,
does it suck? And it's like, hey, that's too political?
Take it out? Yes, But I think I'm more if
the only two routes are take up the political stuff
or let's lean heavily one way, obviously a way that
I don't prefer, then I go, okay, we'll just take
it out. And I could see that pitch up, even
if it's not like oh, because it's offending me, just
like we don't want political stuff right now, and I
think that's the bad thing. When we talked about the
Star Wars Ben Soule thing, right, they want stuff that
people like minecraft could just consume and move on to
the next thing right, and I agree with you. If
that's a fear, you should be fearful. But I think
unfortunately a lot of studios are gonna do that, the
big ones. So that's why support your knee on, support
your A twenty four. It's like, and even if you
know in that type of stuff, find the one you are,
because I do think a lot of the big studios
the next five years, I think we're at a real
risk of having I think I've said this is the
third time I said this week, so I apologize, but
I think we're at a real risk for the big
studios to be very have nothing to say, just be
super slow, especially if they start going AI, oh you
know so and see Kimedia says I do believe Jeremy
Allen White will get an Oscar animation, possibly when I
don't see Timny Shell May or Leo. I'll talk about
another time because we're not talking about that. We're gonna
have a lot of Oscar coverage we get closer. So
but there's your thoughts there, sure might says it's a
meta it's the meta talk. It's the meta talk about
politics that's more annoying than politics and stories themselves. Everyone
complaining about how things are woke because it features a
woman or a purseon of color. Absolutely right, things have
been politicized that aren't even that you know people I
can't remember. Oh with Alien Earth Right when that came out,
it was Kyle Chandler's daughter, and some people time about,
of course there's a female lead, it's woke. It's like,
what the fuck is it based off of? Like the
first Alien Right? And it like, to me, Alien Earth
didn't have anything like that where it was woke. It's like, okay,
so there's a woman lead in a supporting character that's
a man of color. It's like, we have that all
in the original Alien Right. And I think that's the
other thing too. We've talked about this before. There's some
people that are mentally sick and some people that they
you know what, Hunter and Kevin, you guys got past them.
I'm run out of time and I can't answer anymore
because I don't think you guys are on Patroon and
there's no super chats, So I got to end it there.
Usually that's the rule of the show. Some good conversation,
but I gotta end it there. The show gets too long.
So if you want to think you got to send
a super chat or god a patron, which is all
down below. But that's the thing where people are either
mentally sick or unstable that are just crazy on that stuff. Right.
It's woke. They're shutting down my throat where you're like, hey,
you're lost, or it's people just doing the trying to
get clicks and you know, god, what's the term. It's
not I know, rage bit as one, but they're just
trying to get money off of those things, right, And
that's the thing like where I gree with you. It's
all that stuff. It's not just the political tics which
the politics, the politics, which I would say has obviously
amped up in the amount of time with social media everything,
so it is larger than it is. But I agree
with you that there is like a meta thing. Yeah,
engagement farming. Yeah it's a good as pumps. I think
there's another term that's like lost on me and stuff,
but yeah, it's that's the thing where there's just so
much of an everything's political now, right, So that's why
we try to have fun. We still talk about them
because I don't want to be a show where I
get it. But that's where for me, I agree with Kevin.
I listen to podcasts where some they get too politically. Hell, well,
we're gonna stop like that too much. It's like like
it's just like, I don't know, I get it. You're
there to talk about some shows in the movie, and
maybe that's why we're not big enough. Right. Maybe it's
just like that newscast we did last week where we
talked too much about God and religion and have an opinion.
But for me, it's it's yeah, grifting thereio grifting, thank
you very much, super Like that's exactly where I was
looking for. But for me, that turns me off. When
it's like, oh, well, let's not talk about that. It's like, well,
I don't know, it's life, dude. But and that's where
for me it's just like off. See geek. First, we
need patrons, we need support. We could not have all
these shows. It wouldn't be a thing, right. But that's
where it's like, Okay, I feel like you're just specifically
now just doing this for money because we did start
this as a hobby, is a passion project, and it
still is. But I mean in the sense like that's
why we don't we never go, well, we're not gonna
we can't talk about the Bible or something like that
because we might lose some people we do. Hey, that sucks,
but we try to have like open conversations. Right, let's
get a few these facts. We had six more minutes here,
Let's see the Arkham series. What was his exact quote here?
The Arkham Series is no longer going forward as it
didn't work out. Didn't say much more. We kind of
knew about that, and I'm not, honestly even surprised, because
I just feel if you were doing the Arkham series,
which again the rumor was was happening in the Matt
Reeves verse and then it went over the Gun verse,
that didn't make sense to me. I very much wanted
it in the Asylum. The Asylum in the Rees verse.
It feels like what the clay Face movie was, right,
So that's disappointing. So it feels like he kind of
killed it, which I can. I get it give Reese's trilogy,
but if it's in the DCU, I feel like you
need to establish more characters before you do that. Right, man,
if to more will feel different than Superman. With the
perspective of Lex Luthor, being an emphasis. I'm fine with that.
I've seen a lot of people not happy with this.
Of Gutten's clearly more interested in Lex Luthor. He's more like,
he cares like, he's more like Lex Luther because he
has these calls. He's not like Superman. He's gonna be
a Superman, a psyde character. I don't have any of
those issues with like that. I to me think it's
an interesting tale where it's not a else world, it's
not a what if it is. Hey, we're in a
universe and we're gonna tell something from the villain's point
of view. Let's see how it is. Granted, I have
to see how they do this because I felt like
they made Lex Luthor a big piece of shit and
Superman he's abusing women. He's doing stuff where he's killing
That isn't guy. He's doing stuff where for me it's not.
He wasn't trying to do like the fan of is
always a villain, but he's misunderstood or he has a
purpose and you can see his perspective. This was no.
This guy's an asshole, and you shouldn't. You should not
bother yourself with trying to see the good in him, right,
And I guess that's the point of Superman, right that
no matter what, he can see the good people. I
just think the you know, in a wrestling term, the
babyface turn is happening way too early in my opinion.
If that's the case, we don't know that, right, so
we have to see Gun has to skip discuss Constant
to with Gannery's but has not read a script. And
then they also said this because they were talking about
the new God stuff at Dark Side and they're making
a Mister Miracle animated show a for HBO Max and
same thing. He said that same quote where he's like, oh,
I just haven't had time to read the script, right,
And for me it was funny. I said this in
the GWA where it's like, yeah, he didn't have time
to read this script because he's writing his own stuff,
which I get it, but that is the tough thing
of doing both those jobs, right, So it's like you're trying,
You're working on suits of Antimore and all this stuff,
but with constantin too. I don't know. I'd like to
see it, think would be fun. I don't think it's happening.
I think that's his way of just saying that right now,
But he's not read a script, so maybe he reads
it in its gram right, maybe there's a way again
the dc or being else world, who knows, say, mister Miracle,
who knows? But uh, and the Water series is still
being written in gaining progress. Cool. Great, So those were
the updates that he gave. There's some other stuff like
Along the Way that he has recently, but that was
the DCU updates. And yeah, so we'll see. It's gonna
be man next year. Between the content and the news
and the trailers and then the real life stuff. It's
gonna be crazy as far as ms you trying to
make a comeback Stars film theaters, Seeing how these non
James Gunn DCU projects work, Seeing how Clay Faces super
Girl performed, while WB is being bought by somebody, all
this stuff, it's it. It's pretty crazy to me that
it's gonna happen. Oh my goodness. Stars Fan paid for
a plane to fly over Disney's studios with a banner
reading save the Ben solo. Oh yeah, I would love
something like that. You know, go back to our cast,
talk about it h with me and Taylor. But yeah,
this just twenty twenty six. In general, it's gonna be fascinating,
maybe not good fascinating. Like I just said to you before,
a lot of big studios could be doing some things
that we don't like. Change them things. We're gonna possibly
get some content that is just very lukewarm, but I
don't know, we'll see. So thank you very much, ladies,
gentlemen for turn tuning in. Check out the links down
