Speaker 1: The average American melts their face off. Sonic is the
Speaker 1: King of the Castle. Batman theme no no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: no no delayed again has truck theme. Momo is back
Speaker 1: and he's better than ever. DJ Kellied voice on nutha one.
Speaker 1: What if your series ends and no one cares? The
Speaker 1: biggest crossover event since Alan Iverson. I shouldn't have said
Speaker 1: an event since Alan Iverson in two thousand and one,
Speaker 1: but First News dumps butchered the shit out of those heads.
Speaker 2: Don't read the parentheses. That's the whole point of the parentheses,
Speaker 2: as you don't.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't know that. How would I know? It's a stage.
Speaker 2: Direction, you know, fucking grow up? It acts like you've
Speaker 2: been there before. Aren't you supposed to be the professional.
Speaker 1: I thought you were?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 1: Okay, well, Mack, you wrote there in the headlines about
Speaker 1: Americans burning their faces off, and that is because PC
Speaker 1: magazine dot com says that the average American has spent
Speaker 1: two and a half months on their in the year
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. And this is taken from a survey
Speaker 1: on reviews dot org.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so three months would be a quarter of the year. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so it's a little under that, but above a fifth
Speaker 2: or above a sixth. So think about that per day. Right,
Speaker 2: Let's say generously people are sleeping six hours, so eighteen
Speaker 2: hours in a day. Ten percent of that is.
Speaker 1: What stop with the math of eighteen hours, stop.
Speaker 2: Just like an hour hour fifty minutes maybe?
Speaker 1: Yeah, so double that.
Speaker 2: So people are spending like three hours a day on
Speaker 2: their phone. I think it's even more than that, dude,
Speaker 2: I think it for most people, it's more than that.
Speaker 1: Okay, so it is up forty two percent from last year,
Speaker 1: which is kind of alarming. But let me read off
Speaker 1: some of these stats and let's see if you do
Speaker 1: this and I do this. Eighty point six percent of
Speaker 1: people check their phones within ten minutes of waking up.
Speaker 1: I do that.
Speaker 2: Well, my phone is my alarm clock, so of course
Speaker 2: I do that.
Speaker 1: Yeah. But when you turn would you just hit snooze
Speaker 1: or do you start checking Twitter?
Speaker 2: And shit? Oh? I snooze like the first three?
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that eventually I've read that hitting snooze is
Speaker 1: bad for you. Probably is, I'm going to do it,
Speaker 1: so keep that in mind. Sixty five point seven percent
Speaker 1: of us use the phone on the toilet. That seems low.
Speaker 2: That's a lie gotta be ninety. The only people that
Speaker 2: aren't using it are probably people like sixty five plus.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're reading joke books and shit. I would argue
Speaker 1: that I use the toilet sometimes just to use my phone.
Speaker 2: Say that one more time.
Speaker 1: Sometimes I use the toilet just to use my phone.
Speaker 1: It's your office, my office. I'm like that.
Speaker 2: I would say that my phone certainly extends my my
Speaker 2: toilet time by like.
Speaker 1: Triple fifty three point seven percent of us have texted
Speaker 1: someone in the same room. Absolutely, are they saying daily
Speaker 1: or on the year?
Speaker 2: Yeah, just in general, almost everyone's on that. That's actually
Speaker 2: probably too low.
Speaker 1: Yeah, how else would we talk behind someone's back? Right,
Speaker 1: we can't insult someone to their face. That's cyberbe them.
Speaker 1: Thirty eight point one percent of us use or look
Speaker 1: at their phone or our phones while on a date.
Speaker 1: Does that include with a spouse, because yeah, you're gonna
Speaker 1: do that every once in a while.
Speaker 2: You.
Speaker 1: I would say that when I was dating and it
Speaker 1: was someone that you know, I wasn't in a relationship
Speaker 1: with yet, I wouldn't use the phone at all. Actually, yeah,
Speaker 1: I make.
Speaker 2: A concerted effort to also not use the phone. In fact,
Speaker 2: I'll usually like take my phone and like put it
Speaker 2: so they can see it's there, and I'm not checking it, yeah,
Speaker 2: because I feel like that's just a respect thing. But
Speaker 2: of course when you've been with someone for a decade
Speaker 2: that changes things.
Speaker 1: Actually, no, when they would start talking to me, I
Speaker 1: would just slowly bring the phone up and just look
Speaker 1: and just tap like that. And then twenty seven percent
Speaker 1: of us use or look at our phones while driving.
Speaker 1: I try not to, but I do.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's also a lie there. It's it's probably more
Speaker 2: like two thirds. I usually have it mounted, so I'm
Speaker 2: looking at it occasionally, and then a stoplight, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: bust that son of a bitch out and see what's
Speaker 2: going on.
Speaker 1: I'm driving with two hands and I'm holding the phone
Speaker 1: on the steering wheel like this, stare straight down.
Speaker 2: I mean, sometimes you'll catch people watching shows like it's
Speaker 2: fucking wild what some people do while driving.
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever watched the show, but I
Speaker 1: have peaked at like a YouTube video or something, so
Speaker 1: I guess I'm in that. But also, you're changing the song,
Speaker 1: you're changing the podcast, You're looking at your map. Everyone's
Speaker 1: looking at their map on their phone and if your
Speaker 1: phone isn't connected to your car, what are you gonna do? Yeah,
Speaker 1: exactly should we change our ways?
Speaker 2: That's not gonna change. But so what they need to
Speaker 2: do if they want to get rid of distracted driving,
Speaker 2: which they're not going to just make and the cars
Speaker 2: are getting there, you just basically have to have a
Speaker 2: better center console in your car so they reach for
Speaker 2: your phone.
Speaker 1: You need to have a forty two in screen, right,
Speaker 1: they are mounted on your count So yeah, you can,
Speaker 1: you can really really pay attention to that.
Speaker 2: Actually, just take the driving out of our hands, make
Speaker 2: every car self driving.
Speaker 1: So final phone finally, or just have them fly. If
Speaker 1: we're all flying, no one can get into an accident.
Speaker 2: It's a lot of air up there.
Speaker 1: News dupe over. In the box office, Sonic three has
Speaker 1: won once again. It is down thirty seven percent from
Speaker 1: its first week, but still made thirty eight million so
Speaker 1: far worldwide, it has made two hundred and eleven point five.
Speaker 1: Moufasa way better week in its second week. I feel
Speaker 1: like people that wanted to see both movies went Sonic first.
Speaker 1: Then Moufasa is still middling. Grades on the movie in
Speaker 1: its second week, up four point eight percent to thirty
Speaker 1: seven million. It has made three hundred and twenty eight worldwide.
Speaker 1: Nas Faratsu has made some bank at the box office
Speaker 1: over this past weekend. The rate of our horror movie
Speaker 1: twenty one point one million domestics so far worldwide forty
Speaker 1: three million since Christmas Day, Wicked in week six up
Speaker 1: thirty seven point five percent to almost twenty million dollars.
Speaker 1: Was it released with the lyrics on the screen? Is
Speaker 1: that what people are going on?
Speaker 2: I'm Christmas in select theaters they focusing along.
Speaker 1: I don't know how much that plays into it, but still.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well you're also dealing with, you know, kids on
Speaker 2: break now you're kindly kind of getting to see it
Speaker 2: for the first time too.
Speaker 1: We need to kill two and a half hours. What
Speaker 1: should we do? Let's see part one of a two
Speaker 1: part movie. Let's do it. Let's fucking do it. Uh?
Speaker 1: You have here that Wicked has become the highest grossing
Speaker 1: musical adaptation of all time, globally, passing Mama Me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you didn't read my note about no Strato.
Speaker 1: I was a fucking ripping off numbers? What is your
Speaker 1: nos Faratu tid?
Speaker 2: Nicholas Holt has been seen holding a framed I guess
Speaker 2: not an image the actual thing. He has framed count
Speaker 2: Orlock's prosthetic penis. He now owns that.
Speaker 1: That's his warning to the audience if you are with
Speaker 1: a younger family member or whatever the hell you're doing this,
Speaker 1: this is an adult oriented program.
Speaker 2: Fuck them kids.
Speaker 1: We got a request that if we're going to talk
Speaker 1: about tiny peckers, put a little warning at the top.
Speaker 2: I've seen Sonic. Yeah, it's uh, it's solid. I think
Speaker 2: I like the second one a little bit better, but
Speaker 2: it's pretty much in that same vein. The second one
Speaker 2: was was pretty good. If you like the second one,
Speaker 2: you're gonna like this one. And they have if you're
Speaker 2: if you're gonna go see it and haven't seen it yet,
Speaker 2: a mid credit in a post credit mid credits pretty decent.
Speaker 2: I've decided I'm not gonna see Mufasa in the theater.
Speaker 2: I just have no drive to see it. I haven't
Speaker 2: heard good things about the music, even though it is
Speaker 2: lin Manuel Miranda. No, Saratu is probably gonna be my
Speaker 2: next theater.
Speaker 1: My name is my guest. I've also heard with Mufasa,
Speaker 1: scar is dumb, and I don't appreciate a dumb scar.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, he's supposed to be cold and calculated, right.
Speaker 1: Also he's Taka. He is Taka, I've heard although.
Speaker 2: This is maybe the story of how he becomes cold
Speaker 2: and calculator.
Speaker 1: Like maybe he's a big dummy and he's like, I
Speaker 1: should change my ways because this guy stole my throne.
Speaker 1: Mawana two back with a nice weekend up about thirty
Speaker 1: eight percent to eighteen point two million. It is made
Speaker 1: eighty up sorry, eight eighty two and a half million
Speaker 1: worldwide so far, getting close to that billion dollar mark.
Speaker 1: A Complete Unknown the Bob Dylan movie made eleven and
Speaker 1: a half over the weekend twenty three million so far.
Speaker 1: And Baby Girl, the Finger in the Mouth movie is
Speaker 1: in its first weekend four and a half million bucks
Speaker 1: seven point two so far since Christmas.
Speaker 2: Let me let me pitch an episode idea for you. Yeah,
Speaker 2: maybe not the next one, but maybe in like a
Speaker 2: week and a half maybe two weeks. What have you
Speaker 2: been watching lately? But specifically for three movies?
Speaker 1: Number one for Finger in Mouth movies.
Speaker 2: No Anora, which is by all accounts maybe the best
Speaker 2: movie of the year, but it's up in the conversation
Speaker 2: uh nusfaratu. Yeah, and A Complete Unknown I think those
Speaker 2: three OK be a nice little little episode.
Speaker 1: News Dump the Batman, the big news coming out over
Speaker 1: the weekend came out on Friday, right as we were
Speaker 1: recording Dump. It put a little tale at the end
Speaker 1: of the last Dump. But the movie has been delayed
Speaker 1: once again, this time to October one, twenty twenty seven.
Speaker 1: Production is set to begin this summer. James Gunn said
Speaker 1: The Batman two was delayed because the script isn't finish.
Speaker 1: Matt Reeves is committed to making the best film he
Speaker 1: possibly can, and no one can accurately guess exactly how
Speaker 1: long a script will take to write. He also pointed
Speaker 1: out that five year gap between a sequel in the
Speaker 1: first movie not that uncommon, saying it was seven years
Speaker 1: between Alien and Aliens, fourteen between The Incredibles, granted those
Speaker 1: were animated fucking characters, seven between I already did seven yees,
Speaker 1: seven again between Terminators, thirteen between Avatars, thirty six between
Speaker 1: Top Guns, and of course six between Guardians two and three.
Speaker 1: But that's because you got fired, James.
Speaker 2: Let's run through those scenarios. Number one, Alien Aliens was
Speaker 2: late seventies early eighties, so that could be explained away, right,
Speaker 2: there technology and time.
Speaker 1: They're also different genres.
Speaker 2: Do you want to compare the Batman two? Do Incredibles too?
Speaker 2: I don't think that's what you're shooting for. That doesn't
Speaker 2: help your kid.
Speaker 1: He's just saying that there have been good sequels after
Speaker 1: a long layoff.
Speaker 2: I'll give them T two here, we'll give them T too.
Speaker 2: You get one thirteen years between avatars. I'm not an
Speaker 2: Avatar guy, but are you having groundbreaking technology developed? While?
Speaker 1: That's the thing is that with the Avatar movies, they
Speaker 1: only make them when they have new technology.
Speaker 2: Get your fucking corn out of my face with the
Speaker 2: top gun thing. Get the fuck out of here, and
Speaker 2: you got fired in between the Guardians movies. That's why
Speaker 2: I took that long. Goot five it. Listen, this is
Speaker 2: gonna sound fucking stupid, but I feel like five years
Speaker 2: between sequels in this day and age, it's fucking unacceptable.
Speaker 2: It's my money and I need it now. Five years
Speaker 2: and I'm not even I'm more mad now because the
Speaker 2: third movie is gonna come out ten years after the
Speaker 2: first movie, Like, what are we doing here?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Like that's that's really disappointing, disheartening, And for him to
Speaker 2: tell us the script isn't finished yet. Based on everything
Speaker 2: we've seen in the first movie and then the Penguin series,
Speaker 2: that tells me that now Gun is involved and they're
Speaker 2: trying to parcel out what Reeves Kennon can't use because
Speaker 2: Gun has plans and his DCU, and that is tremendously disappointing.
Speaker 2: If it's gonna be its own thing, it shouldn't matter
Speaker 2: what he's using and what he's doing. And to me,
Speaker 2: that screams and I love James Gunn. That screams Gun
Speaker 2: is probably getting involved too much. Let Reeves do his thing.
Speaker 2: It's separate, and now we're gonna wait five years and
Speaker 2: probably another three or four after that. I'm just fucking annoyed, dude.
Speaker 2: It's really frustrating, really really frustrating to get on screen
Speaker 2: a Batman we've never seen before. Most of us love it.
Speaker 2: There's a certain Batman fan waiting forever for that Batman,
Speaker 2: and now you gotta wait another eternity to get the
Speaker 2: second iteration.
Speaker 1: It does suck because that first movie was Batman in
Speaker 1: year two, so we're supposed to be getting a young
Speaker 1: Batman's journey and we're gonna be I don't know if
Speaker 1: we're gonna jump the five years, but we are getting
Speaker 1: the five year break in between, which sucks. Obviously, we
Speaker 1: want the best movie possible, but there's a very good
Speaker 1: chance that we're gonna be dead by the time this
Speaker 1: movie comes out.
Speaker 2: Well that's so to that point, I can jump on board. Okay,
Speaker 2: if it's supposed to come out two years after and
Speaker 2: it gets bumped to three to craft the best movie, Postle.
Speaker 2: If you get bumped off a couple times and now
Speaker 2: you're five years out, that doesn't help the movie. I
Speaker 2: don't care what anyone says. That does not help the movie.
Speaker 2: This will not be the best of the Batman two.
Speaker 1: Possible news dip. We've got some good news from the
Speaker 1: DCEU universe, and that is Jason Momoa is returning, but
Speaker 1: not as Aquaman. According to Variety and now confirmed by
Speaker 1: James Gunn and Momoa, he will be Lobo and Supergirl
Speaker 1: Woman of Tomorrow. That movie is set to come out
Speaker 1: way before The Batman on June twenty sixth, twenty twenty sixth.
Speaker 2: I mean, we're gonna have likeeeen DCU movies before The
Speaker 2: Batman two comes out. Christ This was a fan casting
Speaker 2: for a year or two now, So I'm happy this
Speaker 2: came together. It seems like all sides are gonna be
Speaker 2: happy with this. Momoa gets to stay in the DCU,
Speaker 2: he gets to play a character that's probably more in
Speaker 2: line with who he actually is. He looks the part,
Speaker 2: and so I'm I'm pleased with this casting.
Speaker 1: Mamoa always talks about you know, when he used to
Speaker 1: collect comics, Logo was his favorite.
Speaker 2: So news.
Speaker 1: Another character to the list that will be showing up
Speaker 1: in Avengers Doomsday, and that is Daredevil, who will So
Speaker 1: this comes out after Reborn correct or Born Again is
Speaker 1: Born Again this I don't know what year it is anymore, man,
Speaker 1: Yeah it does again? Three months, Yeah it does. You're right, Okay,
Speaker 1: I don't even know why I asked. I'm sorry, but yeah,
Speaker 1: he's gonna pop up there.
Speaker 2: It seems like every week we're just gonna get an
Speaker 2: additional characters. We're gonna we're gonna have and I guess
Speaker 2: this is what this like. Well, it has changed since
Speaker 2: the King iteration of the story, but it sounds like
Speaker 2: the story that they're building towards is gonna involve like
Speaker 2: two hundred heroes.
Speaker 1: I mean, they should just have it on there. Everyone's
Speaker 1: gonna be there. Keep your peepers popped. News dump a
Speaker 1: trailer for the animated show Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider Man.
Speaker 1: This is coming out at the end of January. I
Speaker 1: like the animation, but the voice is a little off.
Speaker 2: I really like the animation actually, so I'll say one
Speaker 2: nice thing before saying one bad. Oh.
Speaker 1: I also like the whole feel of the show too,
Speaker 1: So there's a couple things there, Like it feels like
Speaker 1: a fun Spider Man show. The animation is cool, but
Speaker 1: like you tweeted out, the voice is weird.
Speaker 2: For like a fifteen year old Peter Parker. It sounds
Speaker 2: like a thirty two year old guy. Yeah, and he's
Speaker 2: like putting a lot of pizzazz into some of it.
Speaker 2: And it's just I don't know, like I it's not
Speaker 2: I'm sure after a couple of episodes, I'll overlook it.
Speaker 2: But very distracting in the trailer. But again, the setting
Speaker 2: of this Spider Man story looks pretty cool, both in
Speaker 2: Spider Man's life and you know in in uh in
Speaker 2: the City. The animation looks super cool, and so I'm
Speaker 2: sure we're gonna like this show. It's just I don't
Speaker 2: care for.
Speaker 1: The speaking of animation, who's dump all of What If?
Speaker 1: Season three is available? It really caught my eye on
Speaker 1: Christmas Day when it was the who is uh Denning's
Speaker 1: character Kat Denning's character, I'm blanking Darcy Darcy? It was
Speaker 1: it was that Darcy and Howard the Duck had a
Speaker 1: child and this child is gonna be a half bird,
Speaker 1: half person played by what's her name from American Pie
Speaker 1: Natasha Leone? And uh I said, what what is happening here?
Speaker 1: What is this?
Speaker 2: It was already a successful bird character bird in U,
Speaker 2: there's a bird person in Rick and more. It's actually
Speaker 2: a couple of good storylines from that character. Is what
Speaker 2: is it to be said about What If? Season three?
Speaker 2: That no one's talking about it, no one cares that
Speaker 2: it's gone. What a tremendous, tremendous, tremendously underwhelming effort from
Speaker 2: Marvel in this in this.
Speaker 1: Show and the writer of season three they're doing X
Speaker 1: Men ninety seven? Is that what it is?
Speaker 2: That? So they kicked bo out and these people are in.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure, but I did see, and this might
Speaker 1: be wrong. I didn't do any fact checks, but I
Speaker 1: saw that Bo called what if he watched some of
Speaker 1: the episodes of season three and he said that this
Speaker 1: looks like fanfic.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's some of the issue with this.
Speaker 2: And again, you and I aren't book boys. We don't
Speaker 2: know anything about the comics. But there's probably plenty of
Speaker 2: what if stories that could have drawn drawn from in
Speaker 2: the comics, but it seems like there was no real guidance.
Speaker 2: And I also and I made this point way back
Speaker 2: in season one when we watched and reviewed it. I
Speaker 2: didn't like that there was an overarching story. I wanted
Speaker 2: to be more separate from each other and not ty
Speaker 2: T get tied up in a nice not at the
Speaker 2: end of each season, so that really bothered the shit
Speaker 2: out of me too.
Speaker 1: Although the idea of like what if Darcy bangs an
Speaker 1: alien bird like that is that's a scenario that I
Speaker 1: haven't wrapped my mind around.
Speaker 2: But don't those dogs have screwcocks too.
Speaker 1: They have screw coox. But yeah, the like what if
Speaker 1: Storm had Thor's hammer? Okay, that's just giving a thing
Speaker 1: to another character or what if?
Speaker 2: Not interesting?
Speaker 1: I don't know though, Like this was this was not
Speaker 1: my favorite show. I didn't care for it at all.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we needed more event changing instead of character swapping,
Speaker 2: like what if you know and then give us one
Speaker 2: of the major events that happened in our timeline and
Speaker 2: change it instead of just changing characters.
Speaker 1: Like what if Peggy Carter was Captain America instead or
Speaker 1: Captain Britain. It's okay, so Steve, he stays small, it's
Speaker 1: pretty much the same thing.
Speaker 2: She has a shield and then Peggy remains stacked.
Speaker 1: Yeah, take it easy, take it easy. This episode news
Speaker 1: dum oh boy, matc. I has caught my eye here
Speaker 1: and this is just a rumor. This is from Scooper
Speaker 1: at My Time to Shine. But we have a rumored
Speaker 1: director for teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles the Last rown In
Speaker 1: And this seems almost too good to be true. This
Speaker 1: seems like it might not be the thing. But Aquaman
Speaker 1: director James juan Is I'd to be at the helm
Speaker 1: of this movie, someone who not only has worked on
Speaker 1: comic book movies, but they've also worked on a number
Speaker 1: of horror films like The Conjuring, Saw, Insidious, and Malignant.
Speaker 1: I would love this, but I don't think it's true.
Speaker 2: I don't know why anyone would look at this and
Speaker 2: think that James Wand directing it is a good thing. What, dude,
Speaker 2: James One makes decent stuff. I mean obviously saw, as
Speaker 2: you mentioned, Insidious to Kondra R, but like Insidious to
Speaker 2: The Conjuring, Like I still have ill will towards the
Speaker 2: folks that saw The Conjuring a decade ago, and we're
Speaker 2: like that the fucking scilliest movie ever, not even fucking
Speaker 2: close to it. Get the hell out of my face.
Speaker 2: And ever since then, Goo, he's made some more, some
Speaker 2: more horror stuff and his ventures into comic book movies. Goo, Aquaman,
Speaker 2: Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. Why would you want James
Speaker 2: Wand's fucking shitty, stupid palms on this amazing, amazing TMN.
Speaker 1: So he did a great job on the first Aquaman.
Speaker 1: He did Fast seven, so he's done action movies and
Speaker 1: he's done horror stuff. He can take all of those elements.
Speaker 2: And so you want the Last Rona to be Fast seven.
Speaker 1: Fast seven has some good action, might be the best
Speaker 1: fast movie. I'm not saying to make Faster, but I
Speaker 1: think James One would be a great choice for the action.
Speaker 2: The Last row In at its core is a great story, right,
Speaker 2: I want a good storyteller to tell.
Speaker 1: This guy kept doing this. Guy does a good job
Speaker 1: with his pictures.
Speaker 2: Don't agree.
Speaker 1: I will take James one. Glad on James one. Gladly
Speaker 1: take James one. Also, this is a question asked on
Speaker 1: the Weekly Planet of would you want this to be
Speaker 1: a legacy sequel to the nineteen nineties movie or do
Speaker 1: you just not care?
Speaker 2: I don't care number one. But my real answer is no,
Speaker 2: because this is a much darker tone than anything they
Speaker 2: gave us before create a new universe.
Speaker 1: No, but this is a darker tone that is still
Speaker 1: from the lighter tone. It's just them in the future.
Speaker 2: From the lighter tone. But the ninety stuff was too
Speaker 2: light of a tone.
Speaker 1: No, the first the nineteen nineties movie, The first one.
Speaker 2: Was get rid of, get rid of like the second
Speaker 2: and third one.
Speaker 1: Right, that's what you'd have to do, because those two
Speaker 1: are way too light. The first one is actually pretty dark.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll give you that. I'll give you that one news.
Speaker 1: Du huh, Robert Eggers said, and this might have been
Speaker 1: in one of those Criterion closets. I don't know, but
Speaker 1: he said that Home Alone is a master Peach masterpiece,
Speaker 1: not master Peach.
Speaker 2: He's in the giant master peach.
Speaker 1: I watch it once a year. It is a masterpiece,
Speaker 1: a timeless classic. It is impeccably photographed, unlike many movies
Speaker 1: in its genre, it's not overshot, and it is really
Speaker 1: well crafted. I agree Home Alone deserves all of the accolades,
Speaker 1: all of the praise for this is. And I love Elf.
Speaker 1: This is my go to Christmas movie.
Speaker 2: I think Elf is for me, but Home Alone's right
Speaker 2: there as it is Home Alone too, because of the ridiculousness.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I appreciate what this really is. Gu is
Speaker 2: Robert Eggers's attempt to be an everyman because his movies
Speaker 2: aren't everyman movies. So I'm glad he's making the concerted effort.
Speaker 2: Nasarato is already the highest grossing movie he's ever made.
Speaker 2: But he's right, He's one hundred percent right. Like it's
Speaker 2: this absolute standard for a whole subgenre of movies. Home
Speaker 2: Alone is the absolute standard for Christmas movies. And if
Speaker 2: you can eight a Home Alone like movie, year successful.
Speaker 2: And there's been hundreds of attempts at copycat movies over
Speaker 2: the years, and I'll tell you it's he watches it
Speaker 2: once a year. I watch it like twenty times a year,
Speaker 2: fifteen times a year. I watch it probably eight or
Speaker 2: ten times during the Christmas season alone.
Speaker 1: Between the first and second home alone movies, I think
Speaker 1: I watched them nine or ten times this past Christmas season.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 1: And also, like you just said, it's him not sticking
Speaker 1: up his nose at like at a silly slapstick movie
Speaker 1: news dump. Blade Runner twenty ninety nine has wrapped. Blade
Speaker 1: Runer twenty ninety nine, starring Hunter Schaeffer and Michelle Yo
Speaker 1: has wrapped filming coming soon to Prime video, and Mac
Speaker 1: wrote here, I hope it's better than Dune the show.
Speaker 2: The Dune show is stinky diapers. It's poo poo. It's
Speaker 2: not good.
Speaker 1: Put it on the DVD cover.
Speaker 2: Stinky diaper feels like what the CW was to the DCU.
Speaker 2: It feels like that's not high praise, No nope. So
Speaker 2: that's tremendously disappointing, especially coming off the back of Dooton too.
Speaker 2: So I'm hoping Blade Run out twenty ninety nine. And again,
Speaker 2: if you haven't heard me say this or you haven't
Speaker 2: seen it, Blade Runner twenty forty nine, masterpiece of a film.
Speaker 2: Forty Dogger and I don't even really care for the
Speaker 2: first Blade Runner, so that tells you how good that
Speaker 2: movie is. So I hope this is close to twenty
Speaker 2: forty nine. Of course, I can't expect it to be
Speaker 2: a masterpiece, but I'm hoping for it at the very
Speaker 2: least just be much better than that Dune show, because
Speaker 2: that Dune show's garbage.
Speaker 1: News dep And finally, we have gotten our teaser video
Speaker 1: for the crossover event of the year. This is the
Speaker 1: Alan Iverson on Michael Jordan, and it's the It's.
Speaker 2: Alan Iverson over Tyrone Low is what I was referenced.
Speaker 1: Right, but Allan Iverson also crossed up Michael Jordan, Yeah,
Speaker 1: his Rocky year. Yeah, it's always Sonny in Philadelphia crossing
Speaker 1: over with ABC's Abbott Elementary. This is coming out on
Speaker 1: January eighth. We've been seeing teased photos and tweets and
Speaker 1: x's and everything else, but Mac, I am here to
Speaker 1: tell you I don't get it.
Speaker 2: Well, you simply haven't watched one of the shows, so
Speaker 2: this wouldn't be for you.
Speaker 1: No, but you can usually watch a crossover and understand
Speaker 1: what's happening. The character is in this thirty second tease
Speaker 1: for it's always sunny. I don't understand how they are
Speaker 1: supposed or why why are they there?
Speaker 2: I mean, they're both in Philadelphia. It seems pretty obvious
Speaker 2: why they're there. I'm not gonna pretend this is gonna
Speaker 2: blow my socks off, But if you're a fan of
Speaker 2: both shows, I'm sure you're gonna enjoy it. It does
Speaker 2: appear as though the Sunny characters are taken down a
Speaker 2: notch to appeal more to the Abbot Elementary crowd. So
Speaker 2: I hope that's not the case, but it probably is
Speaker 2: gonna be the case, because you're going from FX to
Speaker 2: what is Abbot on ABC? Yeah, So, I mean that's
Speaker 2: what's gonna happen. Naturally, I have been watching Abbot Elementary.
Speaker 2: I enjoy the show. I enjoy the show. It's not
Speaker 2: a show I would scream to my friends they gotta watch.
Speaker 2: But I have enjoyed it. It's not as good as Sonny.
Speaker 1: Why would you scream at your friends?
Speaker 2: But I understand why this crossover is happening, that's for sure.
Speaker 1: Okay, I still don't get it tonally, I don't understand
Speaker 1: it totally.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be interesting. It's gonna be interesting.
Speaker 1: Top of your head. Best crossover television thing ever?
Speaker 2: Oh great question?
Speaker 1: Shall I jump in really quick?
Speaker 2: Sure?
Speaker 1: Go When Salem the Cat used to run through every
Speaker 1: ABC show on TGIF.
Speaker 2: I did really like the TGIF crossovers. Those are great.
Speaker 1: Those are whether it be Salem the Cat or Oracle,
Speaker 1: they would have one character just weave through all the shows.
Speaker 2: You know what was greatly anticipated for months when we
Speaker 2: were kids borderline teens was the Jimmy Timmy crossover.
Speaker 1: Fairly oddim crossover was good.
Speaker 2: That was real nice.
Speaker 1: There was that one am I allowed to use cartoon
Speaker 1: All Stars to the Rescue. No, that wasn't a television show.
Speaker 1: That was just them bringing every cartoon character to one
Speaker 1: spot to say, don't do Heroin. And guess what, I've
Speaker 1: never done Heroin? So fuck you?
Speaker 2: Do you think that's what the next Avengers movie is
Speaker 2: gonna be? Like they're getting everyone together just for PSA.
Speaker 1: Like if they made it the PSA about not doing drugs,
Speaker 1: then the critics really can't slam it.
Speaker 2: Right, Oh, you're endorsing Heroin? Huh?
Speaker 1: Like, Oh, you guys think we should do fentanyl right now?
Speaker 1: I think we fucking start eating fetanyl right now. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna do it because the Avengers told me not to.
Speaker 1: I'm out on fetanyl now. I also really liked I
Speaker 1: didn't mind the Simpsons and Family Guy one solid. The
Speaker 1: Brooklyn nine to nine New Girl one was very odd.
Speaker 2: Oh I don't even I don't even know if I've
Speaker 2: watched that because I don't know if I still have finished.
Speaker 2: I haven't finished Brooklyn nt nine. But I didn't care
Speaker 2: for New Girl, so it's not it wasn't made for me.
Speaker 1: Jess was eating soup in the episode.
Speaker 2: You know what I think I did see it actually
Speaker 2: was that when he was it when he was in
Speaker 2: the show. Was he already married to Uh, what's your face?
Speaker 1: I'm not sure?
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Oh, good one right here, Fresh Prince when they crossed
Speaker 1: over with the Jeffersons and Different Strokes.
Speaker 2: Okay, not bad, not bad.
Speaker 1: I Carly Victorious.
Speaker 2: Oh that's a good one. That is a good one.
Speaker 1: X Files and Cops, Well, there were a bunch of
Speaker 1: Cops parodies. Does that count as a crossover.
Speaker 2: I don't think so. No.
Speaker 1: Jetson's and Flintstones that was the first one I ever
Speaker 1: saw that was a good one.
Speaker 2: That was a good one.
Speaker 1: Simpson's Futurama. Oh when they used to cross over Batman
Speaker 1: and Superman. But those are just two characters that intertwine.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it doesn't really count.
Speaker 1: Oh, I love Lucy and the Adventures of Superman. I
Speaker 1: do remember that one that was Weird Friends and Matt
Speaker 1: About You. Matt About You is also crossed over with Seinfeld.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's true. I forgot about that one.
Speaker 1: It just really made more of a shared universe than
Speaker 1: anything else.
Speaker 2: Here's what Yeah, it wasn't quite a crossover.
Speaker 1: This one probably blew your dick off. That's so raven.
Speaker 1: The sweet life of Zack and Cody and Hannah Montana.
Speaker 2: Cock was gone, nothing left. I was hogless.
Speaker 1: Oh what about all those all those Chicago shows when
Speaker 1: they would cross over fire, Hospital and Police.
Speaker 2: That's like a shared universe. They like all interconnect all
Speaker 2: the time.
Speaker 1: One that should have been better and really should have
Speaker 1: blown our dicks off, and that is the Power Rangers.
Speaker 1: Ninja Turtles won that when true Ninja Turtles were on Fox.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good point right there.
Speaker 1: But would it be a crossover as well when they
Speaker 1: would like mix the Mighty Morphine and the Turbo or
Speaker 1: like Mighty Morphin and like other Power Rangers. Now no, no, no,
Speaker 1: full House Family Matters mentioned that one supernatural Scooby Doo.
Speaker 1: That sounds great, and then oh, all the Arrow verses
Speaker 1: Scooby too. I'm gonna probably watch that one. That sounds
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess that's yeah.
Speaker 2: I guess that's what happens when you have like seventeen
Speaker 2: seasons of a show, you just run out of ideas.
Speaker 1: Once you hit season twelve of a show, you gotta
Speaker 1: do a Scooby Doo.
Speaker 2: I'm so curious as to what element of Scooby Do
Speaker 2: crossed over, Like, did they have likely realistic versions of.
Speaker 1: The other way around? They actually made animated supernaturals? Oh okay,
Speaker 1: I bet Shime has seen this. Shine, let us know
Speaker 1: how the Scooby Doo supernatural cross.
Speaker 2: Scooby Doo been airing that they that they did this.
Speaker 1: It would make sense that the CW would be able
Speaker 1: to do this because they had like the Riverdale stuff,
Speaker 1: so like they had like the comics and shit, So
Speaker 1: that's true. Riverdale in general was like a giant crossover
Speaker 1: because you'd have like the Pussycats on there, who played Josie.
Speaker 1: I don't know Josie broke up from the Pussycats. I
Speaker 1: didn't really appreciate that. I just saw that the other
Speaker 1: week solo. The other week was the I don't know
Speaker 1: what the anniversary was, but Spice World came out on
Speaker 1: December twenty sixth.
Speaker 2: I retweeted that, speaking of pop stars breaking off, have
Speaker 2: you seen the discourse surrounding this Robbie Williams movie.
Speaker 1: Oh it's a giant monkey, right, Yeah, so you.
Speaker 2: Didn't know who Robbie Williams was.
Speaker 1: I presume, right, Robin Williams.
Speaker 2: I had heard the name, but I didn't know who
Speaker 2: Robbie Williams was. And then online the Brits will like
Speaker 2: on TikTok especially like you didn't know who who made
Speaker 2: this banger of a song? Then it's like the worst
Speaker 2: song you've ever heard. You're like, this isn't helping you, guys,
Speaker 2: this is not helping you. So apparently Robbie Williams was
Speaker 2: in a popular British boy band. They got famous early
Speaker 2: mid nineties and then he went solo. They tried to
Speaker 2: launch him in the US a couple times, but he
Speaker 2: was squashed because there's music stinks. But apparently he's very
Speaker 2: popular in Britain so that's this is his biopic.
Speaker 1: I feel like I would have remembered if a monkey
Speaker 1: was doing pop music.
Speaker 2: They I'm telling you you might know one of his songs.
Speaker 2: Look up as like two or three most famous songs,
Speaker 2: and you're like, this stinks.
Speaker 1: But that is the Monkey movie, right, That is the
Speaker 1: Monkey movie. And the monkey's doing a ton of drugs,
Speaker 1: presumably because the Avengers never told him not to eat
Speaker 1: fatanyl there you go. I would have saved that monkey
Speaker 1: full circle, all right, So check us out at the
Speaker 1: end of the week. We'll have something better than what
Speaker 1: we just did.
Speaker 2: Something better than Robbie Williams is music.
