Speaker 1: Hello ladies and jelk gel come in, jel come in.
What's up, Jelks? I am one of your one of
your hosts, the Wonder Dude Kirkland Patzer and who am
I joined by?
Speaker 2: Ah, I'm the Adam Hercaster del Mus trying to come
with someone on the fly.
Speaker 1: I went to it right away. I'm I'm, I'm. I'm
a little unhinged because it's been a while since I've
done a Weekly Geek. I feel like we've just been
so busy with reviews, plethrow reviews. I I don't remember
the last Weekly Geek I was on. But yes, and gentlemen,
today it's a Weekly Geek featuring the Whalers, myself and
Dylan and uh yeah, we got some juicy marvel uh
filled episodes. Uh just content to talk about. And uh yeah,
we're gonna couple that with or we're kind of a
couple of that. I guess that that word makes sense. Uh,
we're gonna pair that with a bunch of trailers that
that came out also, and uh, of course the classic
Patreon questions that we'll be getting to before we get
out of that. Just a few things to shout out
before that. The big juicy movie review on the feeds
right now is for tron Aries. We did that last
Friday and that was a fun episode. You'll have to
go check that out. Here are thoughts on that as
well as the boys are doing. Hey, that was kind
of that was like a pun, unintended but intended in hindsight.
The boys are reviewing for gen v which is the
Boy's spinoff show and those Boys of course with Travis
and Taylor. So yeah, I think that comes out on Wednesday,
So definitely check that out if you are watching that
show or if you just want to hear their thoughts
on it. I'm sure they do a spoiler free sections,
as we always do when it comes to reviews. You
and I just did a fabulous Sidequest episode that was
lots of fun.
Speaker 2: Great episode.
Speaker 1: Yeah, great episode. What else review whise? We just finished Peacemaker.
I feel like there's another show that I'm forgetting, Alien Earth,
but that was a little while ago. Yeah, okay, well
just in between various things right now, So yeah, go
check out the feeds for all that stuff. We got
the review feed as well as the main feed where
we got all all the contents just going on there,
and I was gonna talk about Patron. Well, maybe I'll
bring that up a little bit later. But one thing
I will mention right now is the Extra Life charity stream,
which is gonna be coming up. I think we're with. Yeah,
we're less than a month away now, if like, wow,
we are, that's yeah, man, time is moving so fast.
November eighth is the date for that, so go check
that out. I think we have a start time of
ten for some reason. Yes, yes, Pacific standard, because that's
the standard time that we use. But yeah, tons and
tons of stuff planned and unplanned on that. We're gonna
be go over twenty four hours. All the proceeds go
to BC Children's Hospital. Any donation is welcome. It's all
tax deductible, as well as just sharing the links, even
just checking in and just saying hi to us. We
appreciate that. So definitely go check that out. We're gonna
be pumping that out pretty much every Yeah, I would
say every episode leading up to it, so that you
guys don't miss out on that. And uh, I think
that's a healthy things to shout out unless I'm forgetting something.
I think I think that's pretty pretty ample. All right,
here we are weekly geek New York Comic Con was
going on, which I kind of knew about, but like,
I don't know, I just don't really get like super
buzzed and excited for for stuff like that for whatever reason,
I think, just not necessarily Comic Con, but just various
shows that like build up hype, like oh, what's going
to be announced here, and then it's just like a dud,
whether that's for video games or DC, Marvel, Disney, like
whatever it is. I just feel like the last handful
that I've gone excited for have been a little let down.
So kind of just completely forgought about this until Travis
was sending us the notes on some of these topics,
and I was kind of getting excited some some some
juicy things in there. You know, we got our main topic,
but like, where are you at with Comic Con? And
just just the buzz.
Speaker 2: The buzz was low, for sure, because this stuff dropped
I guess, you know, intermittently throughout the weekend. And I
feel like my barometers the Discord because that's my main
social media, and I just feel like the chatter was
extremely low. I feel like that I didn't really see
some people talking about any of these things, you know,
certain trailers for MCU, things that just like no one
was really chatting about, and a couple things popped out
and I saw, But yeah, I was kind of surprised
when I was seeing the notes today. I'm like, oh,
I missed all this stuff too, because if the Discord
ain't talk about it, I ain't talking about it or
hearing about it. So uh yeah, definitely some decent sauce.
I mean, nothing that was kind of like the big
S tier, big drop scoops. I mean, you know, one
of our things is kind of in that tier, but
I don't think it necessarily came from Comic Con. But yeah, overall,
just a bunch of like mid tier things, some good
updates and whatnot. But it feels like a bit of that,
like the calm bubbling as we're getting like closer and
closer to Avengers, where it's just like, Okay, we gotta
plug through through some things, but like the big, super
duper exciting things are kind of past now and now
we're just kind of looking forward to Avengers. So I
feel like we're just gonna get the lower the lower budget,
the lower crop of things until we finally get those
those two big juicy movies.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, absolutely, yeah, Okay, without further ado, I'm gonna
lead us into our our main talking point for the
Marvel Comic Con stuff, which is a rumor which I
forgot to prad Travis because because you know, he does
a great job listing out all these notes and and
and if it's a rumor, you know, he does like
the lettergade Scooper, but he never gives me like a
source for these things. I don't know if he's just
keeping this like close to uh tier for he gave
us a tear but as well, but like I feel like,
you know, like like yeah, he's trust worthy, but like
still like maybe he's the one who's leaping.
Speaker 2: And he's saying that he has the value of of
a bet here, Scoop.
Speaker 1: I want to see that. I want to see that.
I want to see Travis nell in in in brackets
and then I can.
Speaker 2: He's got to be in the d ms of certain people.
He's probably good. I think he does get a couple
of things here or there, so he probably.
Speaker 1: We we all know he is. He his fake accounts
when he's trolling Taylor, uh, you know, in various aspects
of his day to day. Yeah, I'm sure he's got
an anonymous dropping. I wonder what letter Grady gives himself.
I feel like it's no more than a CE, just
just you know, it's nothing wrong with that. It's just
like he's got some.
Speaker 2: Because because then he can heckle you and and when
you give worse score than I.
Speaker 1: I can't wait to hear his thoughts on that. But yeah,
I know he he gave us a scoop right here,
juicy rumor, which isn't the B tier sphere? How you
will Hugh Jackman to stay as Wolverine in the MCU
after Secret Wars. Of course that would be at the
second of the event. Just projects coming up. And I'm
gonna throw it to you. Actually before I talk about that,
I threw us both off there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you threw a card like gambit at me. Yeah,
I know, I don't know how I feel about this,
and I to me, I this is beat here, which
is a pretty high grade when it all is all
said and done.
Speaker 1: But I don't no source given to us.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a sourceless bee, which is you know always
I mean, here's the thing right right now, especially in
a point in time when Marvel and Disney are having
a lot of misses come out. It's like, you know,
Thunderbolt's great movie but just didn't didn't make money. Uh,
Captain America didn't make money and wasn't really that beloved.
There's just there's so but then there are other hits.
You know, the World dead, Deadpool, Wolverine comes out, billion
dollar movie, huge deal, right, So I feel like it
feels like they're in a point right now where they're
just kind of continuing to green light and push projects
that seem like the guaranteed money makers. Uh maybe especially
in this current era that we're in. We're just getting
through the last couple of these Disney plus shows that
they're seemingly just like kind of dropping out in the
middle nowhere and don't really care much about. And so
it makes sense, Okay, dead Pole, Wolverine, billion dollar movie,
Let's get Hugh Jackman back, because that clearly was a
box office thing, even if that wasn't the plan beforehand.
I don't see him. I still don't see him being
the future of the X Men, Like when we get
that full team, when we get the reboot, the new castings, like,
I don't see them sticking him in there, but like,
do you think we'd get like a dead Pool Wolverine too,
Like is that a route they would go with those
characters or was the plan to kind of like ingrate
or like you know, get them built into the MCU
and then like Deadpool can go mix around with other characters,
because it feels like they did leave enough there, enough
strings that we could pull on for a sequel in
terms of their friendship in particular.
Speaker 1: No, absolutely, I think it's set up for that reason
that it's not like too constrained to go down a
certain avenue where like it's a little bit open like
that there's enough breadcrumbs where it's not like the only
way that we get Logan back is because of Deadpool.
I could see it going the route where like they
try that and maybe like number one numbers wise aren't
where they wanted to be. Then it's like, hey, then
we should bring back Deadpool. Like maybe it's just a
let's see how this goes, and then we have a
backup if we want, because we know how great those
two can be on screen together. But that's not necessarily
guaranteeing success for a sequel of Deadpool Wolverine. So yeah,
I like and also like what you're saying, like just
for like the pillars of what they are wanting like
to be going for. Like I don't really think that
just having Hugh Jackman as Wolverine is like what makes
the most sense for what they want to grow, like
with the brand and like evolve and like Young Avengers
are dead. We ever see Young Avengers, but like just
new face faces on the Avengers roster. Like I just
feel like Hugh Jackman, you know, he's God bless is
Soully's fantastic. I absolutely love that man. I want to
see him have this character for a very long time.
But I like, I don't see him as like the
future of the MC, like like the the new replacement
for a Downy or Chris Evans or anything like that.
So I'm I'm ify on this rumor. Overall, I think
it could, like it makes sense for it to happen.
I think if you would have asked me for like
a letter grade like a while ago, like maybe in
the Logan era, it's like now there's absolutely no way,
but I probably would have said the same thing about
Deadpool Wolverine, and then we got that, and then that
also changes my mind a lot. I'm just Hugh Jackman's
just willingness to even like down that mantle again, like
get back and you know, get his claws going. So yeah,
like I believability. It's definitely more in the believable direction now,
But it's weird to even say, like Hugh Jackman's Wolverine,
like that's not necessarily where I want to just put
the focus on in the MCU going forward, even though
I'm sure he's gonna be great, Like even if the
script is is lesser for for the character or the
story that you're doing with him, I'm sure he's just
going to elevate the material because he's just so fantastic
in that role. So uh yeah. And then part of
me also is like was somewhat excited or curious on
like what the next version of Wolverine would be, like
a younger actor or that avenue. And doesn't mean that
we couldn't get that with Hugh Jackman Wolverine. Uh Like,
we're already in the multiverse and and just the variants
are are up the ying ing. We've already seen very
variable variants of Wolverine in Deadpool Wolverine. But yeah, it's
it's just another thing that is kind of clouding my
thoughts around the subject, which I don't know. I think
if you would have asked me that a while ago,
would have been like, fuck Hugh Jackman, Wolverine going forward
and the like. That's just I couldn't have seen that
being a problem. But I think also just because the
MCU has been messy through like the last few phases, it's, yeah,
that's that's where I'm at.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
Speaker 1: Do you think it?
Speaker 2: Like I don't know. Then after let's say, just post
Secret Wars, do we get Hugh Jackman back as Wolverine
for something first, or do we get the next X
Men team first? Like what is the what is the
next thing? Like? Is is he in some way setting
that up or I don't know, in some way being
like the bridge to it.
Speaker 1: It feels like it feels like the X Men and
like the like the new X Men. In the MCU,
it's just been this thing that's like so far away
for a long time now, Like I think in Miss
Marvel it felt like very close because they used the
name mutant for like the first time, or it is
like a mutation. I can't remember if they said specifically
a mutant, but just the the buzz was around that show. Uh,
that's probably one of the better parts of that show
other than I'm on She's fantastic. But I like, if
we need like a Logan project or like a huge
Jackman Wolverine project just to get to the X Men
like that, that also just feels that much further away.
So I don't think we necessarily need that, and I
don't really want that, Like, I just want to get
to the X Men. I'm kind of getting itchy and
giddy and just want to just want to see this
roster he's in speculating, speculating like what it could potentially
look like, and yeah, I don't know. I just don't
want to delay that. So I think that's my answer there.
Just gimme, gimme. That's you know, instant gratification generation. That's
what I want for sure.
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess the other thing too, is like
with dead Pull wolver and obviously there's other characters in
the story, and Laura, like X twenty three is the
one who's kind of with him at the end still, right,
so maybe we get another dead po Wolverine and her.
I don't think you'd call it like dead Pull Wolverine
n X twenty three. That just seems like a mouthful,
But I could see that being like the maybe the
bridge stepping stone where he's not on the team permanently,
or he's not even really round in that X Men
era other than like maybe the odd appearance here or
there just for like a big cameo or you know,
put him on the poster for the box office success
of it. But like maybe that's like the bridge to
get her on like the main team or something like that. Yeah,
so we still have like that character, and we can
still bring him in every once in a while, and
then he can still appear in like the Avengers Crossover
things or whatever Deadpool does, because we still don't really
know like where Deadpool's gonna be, Like where is he
gonna be placed. I don't think he's gonna be a
main X Men roster character either, but he's still gonna
exist and be in this world. I don't know if
we're just gonna continue to get solo Deadpool movies or
like him teaming up with different people, but maybe that's
the route, is like have some sort of transitionary movie
to put her on the team and he's still kind
of in the cosmos kicking around some there. We can
bring him up every once in a while, but yeah,
I think that might be, uh, that might might be
the limit of it. And that's enough like that that
will make the money, it'll you know, satisfy the fans potentially,
and maybe that's like a good way to do because
people like X twenty three and I feel like if
you recast anyone as like Logan Wolverine right now, that's
still gonna be hard, especially like when you do deap
a Wolverine, you kind of reset that timer of like
when people are gonna be ready to ready for that recast,
but if they keep resetting that time or people are
never gonna be ready for it. Well, I just saw
Hugh Jackman and I don't like this. You know, Dylan
O'Brien's playing that doesn't compare. He's good, but he's not
that good.
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's the route. Having him do scenes across
from like Laura would be hitting the same as having
Hugh Jackman.
Speaker 2: That would be weird. I guess that's the thing there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I also like, well you're talking about
there of him just like maybe just bouncing in and
around like our X Men roster. That makes me think
of the like future past roster, and like how Hugh
Jackman's logan was like kind of utilized there, you know
in the stories. There's a reason why he's not really there,
but just the fact that he like pops up around
this new roster, it just it just makes me think
of that. But I mean, it's it's a very different
type of Wolverine though than like what it was in
those movies, So it could very well be just just
his role. It makes more sense for him to be
in in the universe, which I would prefer, just the
potential of him having scenes with with other people, and
even just for Hugh Jackman, like if it is a
more minor bouncing in and out, like I'm sure he
would prefer to do that as appost. Just leading these
projects like that's that's a lot for for this guy
to do. He's dedicated. The roles he gets fucking shredded
and jacked for them might be just a just a
big thing to keep up. You know. At his elder age,
I'm not gonna call him a senior, but he's he's
getting up there. He's an elder, a couple of wrinkles.
He's got a few there there. It's like grizzled male
charm though. You know, he's just there's something about him. Absolutely, Yeah,
what else was I gonna ask? I was gonna ask
you something? Oh, do you think we're gonna get like
a new iteration of of the Wolverine suit?
Speaker 2: Hmmm? I feel like they freaking nailed it in Wolverine.
Speaker 1: Or he's just gonna have like the classic leather jacket.
You know, he's like a bike rider, so he's just
he's just he's got like a wife beater in a
leather jacket. It's got like the Fox era.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I feel like they kind of like
got it out of their system and they pull over
and having like that little flashback sequence where we got
to see all the bunch of different Wolverines with different
art styles, and so I feel like, I feel like
this is gonna be our look, and I think they're
gonna stick with it, and I think it fits with
the MCU look in general, and the kind of suits
that a lot of these characters have. You know, some
of them don't go as comic bookie, like a Barren Zemo,
of course, but then a lot of them do. Like
even you know, Captain America. It's not quite as bright
and vibrant and you know, blinding the eyes as he
can be in the comics, but it's still like, is
that very comic book you look to it? So it fits.
It fits even though we're like, I don't know, semi realistic,
but some semi cartoony in the MCU. So I think
that I think it's a good look and they should
just keep it. Yeah, maybe make a couple of little adjustments,
you know, a couple of bells and whistles.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like like like growing with the suit or
like evolving with it, not like completely redesigning it. But
it's like, Okay, it makes sense he wore this for
this and then next project. Maybe it's just I don't know,
he's had to like patch it up or something like
it just looks grown. I don't know, it just adds
a little a little lived in look for me, which
I prefer as opposed to just like a set prop.
You know, it's like, oh, it looks exactly perfectly the same.
But that's also a superhero thing. So I don't really
know why I have a critique with that, but I do.
Speaker 2: Yeah, fair enough, fair enough? Uh cool.
Speaker 1: I don't really have anything else on specifically Hugh Jackman
and Wolverine. Do you have anything else you want to say? No,
be tier, we can, we can mosey on. We're going
to mosy on into our first ad break. And before
we get to that, I gotta tell you about our Patreon,
which is the single greatest place to support us. You
get everything early, ad free and exclusive at the tier
I always screw that up as the Phase two tier
and higher. That's the five dollars tier. You get all
of our content early, ad free, exclusive, and then at
the highest tier we have our great Patreont producers, which
are Aaron Braden, April of Darkness, Jack Grant, Sam Super Bad,
Mike Good, God Loves Me sixty nine, Jeremy Renner, Charlie Randell, Cocktail,
Klay John with No h Sam Green. Thank you each
and every one of you so much for keeping the
lights on, providing so much support throughout all the years.
If you want to join the Patron producers, you can
join them and you'll be able to pitch a movie
or never gotten anything other than the movie. I think
that's kind of the rules. So I'm just gonna keep
it there.
Speaker 2: We got one game Batman arks is.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, I forgot about that. You and Travis did that,
didn't you. Yeah, that's that's fun. I kind of forgot
about that. So there you go.
Speaker 2: But we never got a TV show.
Speaker 1: I don't think that would be a big ask. Yeah,
if you wanna, if you want to ask us to
do that, join the series, Yeah, like documentary something. Yeah,
actually that would fit. We could do a documentary, but
whatever it was would be joined the patron producers.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Powers in your hands.
Speaker 1: We were back, all right, we are back. We're going
back to New York Comic Con where we got some
juicy things in here. And one of the juicy things
in here is a trailer for wonder Man, which I
believe has been delayed from the initial date. Now it's
January twenty seventh, a couple of weeks back. Six or
eight episodes, I remember the total on there. Whatever it is,
first episodes dropping January twenty seventh. What was your interest
in this before the trailer and how do you feel
now that you've seen the trailer. Yeah, you've seen the trailer.
Speaker 2: I have of course. Yeah, it was a big question
mark before the trailer because you know, I have you know,
movised around Wikipedia and Marvel Wiki and all that and
just see what's going on with this character, see what
his powers are, see with the premises, all that kind
of stuff. But now a character I'm familiar with from
really any media in particular. So yeah, didn't really know
what to expect, and we haven't I feel like we
haven't heard much about it. But the cast good, you know,
main main man. There is obviously a great, great pick
as well. And yeah, I mean I quite enjoyed this trailer.
I mean it doesn't feel like an MCU thing, which
I think is like I wonder how much there is
gonna be like a fourth wallingness to it, because like
even in this trailer, they're like, there's great director is
coming back to do a new take on a superhero
because people are sick of superheroes. And like in this trailer,
you know, never you never see him get powers. You
never get like that moment where he gets infected by
some magical actor bug and then he like you know,
gains all these like electrical powers and all that. So
it feels like it's trying to go for something different,
but it is still an MCU thing. It's still a
Marvel thing. He still is a superhero I think or something,
and so maybe we're gonna get there, and maybe they're
just holding off on the you know, this is the
first trailer, so maybe we'll get that stuff later down
the road. But I thought this would seemed like a
very you know, planting the flag of like, okay, this
this is gonna be something a bit different. It's maybe
a bit of a commentary, like a self commentary, fourth
wall comment on where we're at with superhero movies, where
we're at the MCU potentially, which could be interesting and
we'll just kind of have to see you where it
goes from there. But I also like, I like the
acting here. We have Ben Kingsley coming back as Trevor
Slattery I think is the name of his character, which
is like such a weird trifectave like Iron Man into
shun Chi until like wonder Man. It's just a weird
journey for this guy. But sure, why not it seems fun?
Uh And yeah, I just I like the premising here.
The music was really good as well, so I'm considerably
officially intrigued, and yeah, that question mark turned into I
guess the thumbs up is where I'm at, right.
Speaker 1: Oh, yes, it's a good morphine of the question mark. Uh,
my question mark also morphed into a thumbs up. I
really really love this trailer. I think you nailed it
with the observation that, like, it just didn't feel like
a marvel uh like like show of of late at
least in the trend of trailers like Wana Vision. When
I first saw that it didn't really look like any
other show that they had done, it's because it wasn't
really like any other show that they've done and haven't
done since. But no, I I think I just loved
the light vibe of it all. Like it just seems
like a really fun show. I think the humor was
really good. Yeah, y'all looks phenomenal in this, especially coming
from Oh absolutely gorgeous. He looks just so different than like,
like he's fantastic in his role of blackmanth but like,
come on, there's like not a lot of substance the
character can really do. He's pretty, it's pretty bland. Do
we still have it? Oh? Yeah we do. We got
this great image that never gets brought up anymore. But
it's it's it's the scene from from from that movie
am my blanket on this movie name a command there.
Speaker 2: I like you already said it. That's why I was confused,
but maybe you didn't. Maybe I was like trying to
do like the subtitle. Sorry, I left you hanging a
little bit there. I left open water.
Speaker 1: I was drowning. But yeah, yeah, it's not gonna be
drowning because in this show, it looks like he's completely
on land. And yeah, he's just a lot more like
on the humor side, and he just looks like he
is an actor, but it just seems like he's using
so much more range of of of everything in the
performance of just what was shown on this trailer. So
I'm excited to see him in that role. Also, just
like the color palette of this trailer, it just it
was like really bright. I was just vibing with it.
A bunch of people were wearing just you know, various outfits,
and I just I just visually look good. Comes out
the day before my birthday. So it's just like, man,
this is all just excitement around this show for me
and I I really didn't know like much about the
character of Wonderman, let alone what this show would be.
So I really like just the Yeah, just just what
we're getting, like the I was gonna say, like the play,
but that's I don't know, I guess that is what
it is. Just just just the gist of what the
show is gonna be. So yeah, and I am happy
to get then Kingsley back. I actually liked the like
the joke with him in chunk Chi, and I like
that we're kind of carrying this character over, but hopefully
it's not going to be too overdone. So yeah, that's
my thoughts on wonder Man, Like I said January twenty seventh,
another great Marvel show. Well, I don't know if wonder
Man is gonna be great, but I know this show
is great. X Men ninety seven ever heard of it?
I think? So we went umber our fantastic X Men
Animated series retrospective in anticipation for x N ninety seven,
which we reviewed. It's on the Figo check it out.
I love that show, Dylan, I think, really love that show,
Like the I think most of the lads all loved it.
And excitement here. Season two premieres Summer twenty twenty six.
Not only that season three is renewed put that pen
to paper as well. Season four and five are being planned,
and if greenlit, the plan is a yearly release. That
is just like thumbs up after thumbs up of great
news there. Yeah, and then the one thing I didn't
mention is for season two, Apocalypse will be the main
focus Big Dad Apocalypse. Of course he's re recurring villain. Yep, yep,
great cliffhang well, not really Hager, just a hangnail left on.
It's a gruesome image. But yeah, I'm sure you're excited
by this news, especially the potential of a yearly release
for a show that we all really loved.
Speaker 2: Did you see the trailer for this one?
Speaker 1: I actually didn't know.
Speaker 2: I think it's just like a cam rip on YouTube, Like, okay,
I watch the trailer. I think it was official. Maybe
it was like, hey, I generated I don't even know,
like now these days the same legit.
Speaker 1: But I've all fallen victim to that.
Speaker 2: Uh No, I mean, yeah, I'm very excited for this.
So the premise of this being like we got to
get the X Men back to the nineties and we're
you know, obviously the time travel aspect makes sense. With Apocalypse,
and we see like a more human looking Apocalypse too,
and at one point like takes his weird glasses off
and it's like, oh, yeah, he has eyes under there,
Like I guess that makes sense, but not something that
I feel like we really dug into in the original series,
back when Apocalypse is always kicking around. He was always
just that same Apocalypse. So I guess I'm surprised a
little bit, just because, you know, if we already got
season three renewed plants for four and five, this just
feels like something you do season three or four or five,
Like it seems like something you do down the road.
Feels like they're gonna be pulling the trigger a bit
too early on this. I feel like I was kind
of fine with like where we were a few years
down the road. I guess maybe things are a little
bit different some things, like, but now we're going back
there already. So obviously some of those days of future
passed episodes and two parts of three part or whatever
it was in the original series are really great, and
that's always a fun premise. You get to do a
lot of interesting things. There are different variations on characters,
but yeah, I don't know, to me, this seems like
with the way X Men ninety seven was. I don't know,
do you feel like we're gonna get like a bunch
of one off episodes still or is this mostly gonna
be like a full season kind of arc, because it
just feels like this seems like a big, serious thing
that could be like really just pulling everything together more cohesively,
which is good in all, but I still like getting
a random little one offs here there, which you know,
we might still get.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we definitely still could get. I worry though, if
it's like, if the show is actually at the quality
of what the first season was, which I have no
reason for it to not be that way, I might
just be really vale with the apocalypse stuff, and if
we get like a side filler episode, I might be
upset with that. I don't love all of the little
side stories. Mojo in particular. I ended up liking the
Mojo episode Watch your Mouth and You're talking about Hey,
it's you know, it's potential potential to happen. But I
think that there still would be some sprinkling of side adventures,
not necessarily a whole episode, but like at least some
little side plot things. Going on. But I I just
feel that because it was alluded to last season, like
that will be the main focus and majority of the season.
Will we'll cover that. I could see even like a
specific episode like covering maybe a little bit more backstory
into just the character of Apocalypse and just that like
Egyptian era that we're kind of exploded. I can't remember
what his like his original name was, but just yeah,
I don't know, it's really interesting character. I don't believe
that this would just be like the last appearance of
Apocalypse either. It's just a character that will never just
be gone forever. So yeah, it is early, but like
he could easily just be a sleeper for a few
seasons and then just randomly pops up again. It's it's
a pretty easy villain to work with in that sense,
So I don't think it's necessarily like too early for this. Yeah,
I don't know. I don't know. I'm also just intrigued
at like the modern era of like like I was
shouting out the animation just just as a whole in
season one, like it just looks so crazy when they
do the Goblin Queen battle and just like the explosions
and everything. It just looks so incredible. So yeah, I'm
I'm just excited to see some like apocalypse in there too.
It's just gonna be some some glorious action.
Speaker 2: Yeah and yeah, Like I I guess maybe by the
time this is coming out, maybe it'll feel like the
first season was forever ago. But to me, it still
feels like, Okay, we're getting We're on like a good
momentum track here. I guess it was like already over
a year ago, but I don't know. To me, this
seems like a good timing. I'm excited for this in
what feels like just a few months. I guess it's
like almost a year, but you know, a few months
next summer. I can't wait.
Speaker 1: Yeah, how long has it just been a year? Or
is in my mind it's been longer.
Speaker 2: I feel like it was like April or something of
like last year.
Speaker 1: So I think you are right because I remember talking
to someone at work about it, But it was like
before I left, like my second last job. Yeah, maybe
I just I wasn't there that long.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Time is a weird thing, true. Yeah, I mean that's
that's all I had there really for for X Men.
Can't wait for that it's.
Speaker 2: Exciting prediction right now. Season four or five are those
getting renewed or are we just getting a three season run.
Speaker 1: Just like like four or and five like as a whole,
like we're definitely gonna get Yeah. Yeah, I'm gonna say
I wish I had more like confidence in my yes.
I'm gonna say, like sixty five percent yes, you ask
for a percentage. I kind of defaulted in that, but
you know, sixty five percent of yes, it is still yes.
So I'm gonna I'm gonna say yes, what about you?
Speaker 2: Okay, hmmm, I'll say we just get the three I'll
go on the pessimistic side, but I want to be
in your side of the field.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to be more confident. I want to say, like, hell, yeah,
there's no way it's not gonna happen. But I don't know,
Like maybe it's just X Men ninety seven season one,
you know, the show's finally coming back, Like there is
a lot of buzz around that, and then just more
more seasons come out. Maybe people just kind of forget
about it. I hope that isn't the case, but I
don't know. I could see that happening, but hopefully not
hopefully not. Yeah, all right, I'm gonna keep skidaddling down
the animated realm here. Uh. Friendly Neighborhood Spider Man. You've
seen it, right, mm hmm, Yes, Friendly Neighbors Spider Man
Season two premiers Fall twenty twenty six. Hold that phone.
Venom and Daredevil confirmed discuss.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you were on the weekly reviews. I was not,
so I'm I might be a little more foggy on
it because I kind of banged through it and stuff.
Daredevil remind me what he was doing in season one again.
Speaker 1: Because he was, Yeah, he was investigating what's his name, uh,
Storm and Norman and then and then Peter is like
responding to a break in. That's back when he's he's
kind of on Norman's hip like his little lap dog,
and then uh, he confronts the battie and it's uh,
it's Daredevil himself and they have a little they have.
Speaker 2: That one rooftop rooftop. Then yes, okay, I remember the
rooftop fight.
Speaker 1: And then there's an end credit. I don't know if
it's the end of the show. I think it is
at the end of the show where he's running in
an alley with a female cohort who's also.
Speaker 2: Dressed credit or he was actually yeah, hanging out with
So who do we don't know? We don't know who
that is yet.
Speaker 1: I don't know who that is. I don't know if
it's a new character or not, but I personally do
not know who that is at all.
Speaker 2: Okay, don't see like an Electro No, okay, not Electra
crosser off the list, Yeah, sadly, Okay, I'll google just
to confirm that. Yeah, no, it took it took a
bit of a jogging, but that that rooftop fight scene
was great. So yeah, now I'm remembering that they did
have a tussle before and obviously, yeah, with that setup,
it seems like, okay, Daredevil was bound to come back.
He was obviously in no way home. So yeah, there's
a lot of connection points between these characters in this
kind of era of Marvel. So excited to get that
connection again. That's always a fun duo when it pops
up in like the old TV show Back in the
Day or that first season of Friendly Neighborhood. So all
in on Daredevil. I think with Venom, am I still
Burton on Venom from like Tom Hardy because that movie
was only last year, right, Venom the Last Oh my god,
I remember remember that that movie was called The Last Dance.
Speaker 1: It feels like it came out seven years ago. That's
how long it's been in my mind.
Speaker 2: You're so fresh actually that I'm like, oh, yeah, am
I ready to let Venom back in my life after
all these I still haven't even seen Venom too, Like
I just watched one in three, So I don't know.
Speaker 1: And you forgot about his buddy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just I just don't know if I want
to remember him, you know, I might, I might want
to forget him. So I don't know how I feel
about ven I got a botch of that. But you
know what if I'm trying to get at but I
don't know, Like, where are you at? Because I feel like,
you know, you played Spider Man two Venoms big in there,
maybe your hype down Venom? Where are you at with Venom?
Are you wanting more of him? Right now?
Speaker 1: Before I answer that, I will ask you a question.
I found who that is? I'm not I won't tell
you who it is in case of in case you
want to stay away, but it's not Elektra.
Speaker 2: In the show, or is it like Speculation City.
Speaker 1: Yes, it's it's like plethora of articles on like Finesse
is the character's name. Yeah, that's got to be a
Marvel snap card, right, I mean it might be when
the show comes out, if it's not already. That would
make sense if it ties it in there. But yeah,
apparently it's a costume adventurer known as Finesse. And then uh,
just the daughter of task Master. Oh fuck, I didn't
even see that in there.
Speaker 2: That's I like that, Okay, finess expert, swordsman, master assassin,
photographic photographic reflexes. Oh, is that like task Master's thing
like photo? Yeah, I guess idetic memory voice.
Speaker 1: It probably enhanced stamina in there.
Speaker 2: Denoting mental images having unusual vividness and detail.
Speaker 1: What is that it's like more than photographic?
Speaker 2: She just says, a good memory for smells and colors,
hand to hand combat of course. Affiliations girl aim okay, okay,
Avengers Academy Okay, count me in on Finesse. I hope
we get s Finesse going on in two.
Speaker 1: But to answer your question, I am very biased because
Venom is probably, if not my favorite, like easily top
three favorite, just like fiction character in you know the sing, Yeah,
absolutely not. I got him right here. He's with me
on every cast. I I was hurt watching through those
live action Tom Hardy Venom movies. I had a great
time with the first one, like I actually enjoyed it.
Second one was arguably the worst theater experience I ever
had in my life. I think I saw that movie alone,
way too loud. Woody Harrelson did not help at all
with his Carnage Cleus CASSII performance. And then the third
one was just I couldn't believe what I was watching.
But it's like, hey, this is the end. I had
a fun enough time with it. I was laughing in
the theater. I had a good time. However, Friendly with
Spider Man does such a good job at just adding
like a very unique rig flavor to a very reoccurring
like villain, like like Scorpion, for example. I think Scorpion
has the juice to be cut like to actually be
like one of the best villains in just superhero content,
like just just dive into like his personal stuff with
with j Jonah Jamison and like just there's just some
great like potential for phenomenal script around that and for
the ever uh, Spider Man like they like they wrote
a very different version of the character than I would
have ever imagined, but it was so good, it was
so good, so scary just just made this like B
tier villain on like the power scale feel like an
S tier and man like if you take Venom, who's
like already like that level in the fandom's eyes. And
I just trust this team so much with what they're
able to do with them and like make it be
very original. I think it would be a fresh take
honestly on on the just just just Venom, and like
I think it would help avoid or it's the wrong
word in it would just like a fresh breath of
air on something that has been so overused lately, because yeah,
like you said, it's been in Spider Man two obviously,
the whole live action Venom stuff, and he's just been
up like Andrew Garfield Spider Man totally Spider Man like,
It's just it's just always around Spidy titles.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's do you think it's so fresh that
they don't do Eddie Brock they do a different guy.
Speaker 1: I can see that for sure. I could definitely see
it being I could honestly speak like seeing it take
over like a character that well, I was gonna say,
has never really been with the Symbio suit. But I
feel like if you go down the comic book realm,
every single character and their dog has had the Simbio
suit at some point. So but like, I don't know,
like there is I think there's at least one or
two original characters in the Friendly Neighborhood Show, so like
that could also be appearing there. It could be. Yeah,
I don't know. I could speculate all day who it
could be, but I could definitely be or sorry, I
could buy the fact that it wouldn't be an Eddie
Brock pairing. Yeah, I don't know. I I think I'm
honestly a lot more in the camp that it wouldn't
be Eddie Brock. I think it would be something not
necessarily brand new, but just different than that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what if it's even just like I'm trying to
think of, like the female version of the name Eddie,
like Edietta Brock.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like a gender Okay, so the scene like Octo Octavius,
we got Olivia, Like maybe they do like like that, but.
Speaker 2: Nold Ed no, there you go, mode, Yeah, you've kind
of sold me on this because the point there of
the Scorpion, and I mean even Norman was like a
very different iteration that we've seen before Tombstone of course,
like taking like a nobody goon type character, turning him
too like a fucking amazing, super well written character. So yeah,
I could definitely see them doing that with Eddie Brock
as well. So you know what, fucking sold Okay, I'm converted.
I'm in.
Speaker 1: Now you're back in this camp. Memory. Memory is bringing
back your I won't forget you, buddy.
Speaker 2: Okay, well now you've ruined it because you're not.
Speaker 1: You won't be forget about Venom anytime soon.
Speaker 2: I never get you.
Speaker 1: I could also see them going like the Flash Thompson route,
pairing with uh with with with with Venom. That that
could be fun, but like, yeah, that that's also just
going in a different avenue too, with like agent Venom stuff.
I don't know. I just want to see like a
like a freak just take over the symbio and that
doesn't necessarily have to be like a Kletis Casi type
where he's just a psycho, but just like a very
different version of the character where like, yeah, he is
just as like quirky, like he's he's a good character,
but he's just carrying the symbiote. And then you have
like the schizophrenic conversations. Yeah, I think there's just so
much juice around that character. So and I'm sure that
would help numbers a lot, you know, I think we'd
be getting that's when we get into our our like
version of The X Men and eighty seven season four
or fives.
Speaker 2: I could I could see like not Nico becoming the
not becoming Venom, because I'd be like a fucking crazy pivot.
But I feel like the darkness of her character and
the magic and stuff, I could see that somehow pairing
with like someone who's has the symbiod attached to them, Like,
I don't know, I could see that being a dynamic
that could be really interesting. WHI should obviously lead to
some drama between her already kind of rocky relationship with
Peter if she's like kind of not teaming up with Venom,
but she like maybe has sympathy for the guy who
like got the symbiote, if it is Eddie Brock in
this case, I could say something like that happening, which
could be fun as well, yeah, Damic so excited for
more Nico as well.
Speaker 1: Oh, man, Nico is fantastic. I want to rewatch that
show now, I do too. Actually, i'll load it up
on the plane. Uh.
Speaker 2: You gotta play Firearm Bloom Kirkland. Yeah, no, no, no, no,
Spider Man rewatching for you finish your first fire Okay, I.
Speaker 1: Forgot to bring up our what we've been watching. I apologize. Yeah,
we got a lot of news. Next time.
Speaker 2: You can do it if you want, or we can
do it. I'm fine.
Speaker 1: It's a it's a jarring place to just stop talking
about what we're talking about. I guess we can do
that if you want to do you have anything you
really want to shout out?
Speaker 2: If we could do after Marvel News, we do.
Speaker 1: Okay, there you go. We'll circle back to that, back
to the subject at hand, which was friendly Neumver Spider Man.
Uh and then yeah, we talked a lot about Venom Daredevil.
I'm so excited. Just get more Matt Murdoch in there
and then go down the finesse route and uh yeah,
explore that character.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't really have anymore else to say. I'm sure
it's gonna be That's great.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you U said the release date,
you probably did, but follow twenty twenty six. So yeah,
we have the Summer x Men, Summer x Men and
then the Fall of Spidery, so nice want you punch there? Yeah,
it's gonna work out.
Speaker 1: Nicely, absolutely, okay, and then Mosey and on down. We
also have a quest, a vision quest.
Speaker 2: They're gonna say side quest.
Speaker 1: We did a side quest, which is fantastic. Two quests
back to back. One was a side and this one's
for the Vision White Vision, which I don't think that's
the actual name, Snow Vision, Snow Vision.
Speaker 2: There you go.
Speaker 1: It sounded wrong when I said that snow Vision has
all of the memories of the original Vision but struggling
to connect with the emotions, which when I read that,
I was like, I thought that was known already. I know,
we really haven't explored the character at all, but it's
just like I assume that would have been the case,
where it's like, Okay, this is the robotic version of Vision,
but like, I'm sure there's gonna be some inner turmoil
where he's trying to remember the old side of himself.
It just seemed like a U you know, it's a
type of line that I was reading, but at least
it's nothing too crazy in the wrong direction.
Speaker 2: Like sound was a little bit like the plot of
tron Aries. Not to spoil that movie too much, but
go check out tron Aries.
Speaker 1: Yeah, actually there's definitely some some tron areas in there. Yeah,
no good observation. And then I'll just list all of
it and then we'll talk about it all. And then
Speed also known as Tommy Maximov confirmed for the show
that is Vision Quest, and then Ultron voiced by the
great powerful James Spader returning, which is awesome. And then
apparently we're gonna have Friday, Edith Jarvis and dumb dash E.
And if you couldn't tell by the way I was
saying that, it is the what's the word for when
you just have like acronym thank you version of that,
so F dot R, dot I, et cetera. So for Friday,
Edith Jarvis and dumb Dash E will appear and have
human forms coming to Disney Plus twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2: Sorry, just a very sigh tension I just realized. So
with X Men ninety seven, also wonder Man now Friendly
Neighborhood spider Man Vision Quest, Spider Man, Brand New Day, Avengers,
Dooms Day, and The Punisher Special all coming out next year.
That's gonna be a spicy MCU Golden Geeks for that,
which has been a little bit on ice for a
little bit here where like we don't have as much
content to discuss. If all of that still comes out
next year, and I think I have those movie dates right,
that is gonna be fucking hype. That's gonna be go
like the year next year. And that's also your a
million huge video games coming out in twenty twenty six
might be our year, Kirkling.
Speaker 1: That might be best year yet. Yeah. Yet, that's crazy
actually because I've been going through listening off the dates,
but until you compile them all together in one sentence,
it yeah, it actually puts it in the in the
frontal lobe there. That's kind of crazy. We're gonna be
stretched thin, but in all the right directions and right ways.
Speaker 2: Thanks for that.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take a little ad break there just to
just settle down. We'll come back to unpack on this
all right, We've calmed down, had some water. We're back
anywhere you want to start with all this vision stuff,
you know, starts.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess yeah, just to just like this show
have been extremely unhyped on and this stuff. The one
thing that I am interested in is Ultron because I
like James Spader. I like Ultron as a character. Yeah,
Avengers too, you know, not the not the finest MCU craft,
that's no doubt, but I think there's a lot of
potential with that character. I didn't necessarily need him coming back,
but it's one that you announce it and I'm like, oh,
I'm interested in that. I'm excited to see what they
do with it. Ultron we've seen him be quite powerful
and Avengers level threat, and now he's like in a
TV show as a potent.
Speaker 1: Is he gonna be a villain?
Speaker 2: There? Is he actually just like a guy. We'll see
what's going on there. And then obviously, in like what
if we got like the what was the name of
that like multiverse Ultron, he had like an like a
name in City Ultron. Yeah, that's that's the one for
sure where that's like, you know, insane levels of power.
So this will be interesting to go like, Okay, now
we're gonna shrink that character down to like mc U
TV show format. So we'll see what that looks like
in terms of like bringing all of these robots. You know,
we have like Tony Stark's uh voice, we got you know,
Jarvis the original one. Of course we have Edith is
Spidey's voice, right, even the hero Yeah, and then Dummy,
that's like the mechanical arm from Iron Man.
Speaker 1: I think, right, Oh, that's funny. I didn't. I didn't
think that's what it is.
Speaker 2: Uh, I don't. I'm not too excited about like all
these guys come into life, Like that's not something I
need when when we say when we say we have
they have human forms, Like, what do you think that means? Exactly?
Are these like like they're all getting a body like
like vision? I guess is that what we're doing, Like
we're three D printing them out. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think what's gonna happen is because he's having like
an identity crisis, Like he's just gonna have moments where
it's almost like Wanda vision, where like it's gonna be
like a fake interaction, but like internally in his head
like he's that's when that's what I believe is when
he's gonna actually be interacted with like James Spader as
like the Ultron character because he's he knows this voice,
he knows who this character is, right, but like he's
seeing this version of it. Same thing for Edith Jarvis.
Of course, Jarvis is like his own you know, it's
Paul Betney's voice. So, like I I just pictured those
moments being Wanda Vision Y. I don't think the whole
show is gonna be like just copying what Wanta Vision was.
I hope it isn't, because that show is just really
unique on its own, But just just the fact that
I think it's gonna be psychological, I think it's gonna
be trippy for the character of Vision, especially if he's
battling just just the emotional side of the character to
just going back to the bland robot version of himself.
I think that will be like a thing that he's
just dealing with throughout the season. And I think that
would be the thing that makes the most sense to
get those human versions of those characters, because like, how
else are you gonna get the dummy like arm like
being a human character like that? That just doesn't really
I don't know. I guess they could explain it some way,
but to me, that would be the route that I
picture it being. I would be kind of surprised if
that's not the case.
Speaker 2: And then yes, so speed you tell me Maximov. I mean,
I'd be excited for the idea if Wanda was here
and we were getting the dynamic with her as well.
But she's not announced for the show yet, right, so
it's like I don't know if she'll be in there.
Speaker 1: I can't see her appearing, though I could see her
being like a surprise appearance. I could yeah, make her
long return just because, like especially if it's like if
what I'm pitching is actually true and like a lot
of it is kind of internal for the character, like
that's not really breaking any continuity stuff. If she appears there,
I think it could be a big moment to especially
like those two characters are tied together so much, like
the love that they have for each other for Vision
and Wanda, I could see that happening. I wouldn't pizza
bed hit by any means, And like some people might
scoff at the idea of like Wanda's return is in
Vision Quest the show, Like really, I don't know. I
think like out of anyone that would have like the
biggest tie to her, it would be Paul Bettney's Vision,
So yeah, I don't know that that's kind of how
now that Pietro is dead, of course, you know that
would be the one tie Aaron Daana Johnson's PTRO. But
I think that would be juice also, like just just
mic drop like surprise appearance. Nobody was expecting her to
have her in there if they able to keep it
hush hush, But I mean, would they keep it hush hush,
like if they're trying to sell people on the show
you got Elizabeth Olsen back. I think that would definitely
get people intrigued to check it out. So I don't know.
I maybe I'm just a little child dreaming of a
beautiful scenario that won't ever come. But I like to
be a dreamer sometimes.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I mean I feel like it was maybe
three or four maybe longer years ago now where I
want at one point in time, we had like like
fifteen to twenty MCU things announced, like maybe twenty that
we knew were coming, and I remember we did. I
think it maybe it was a bread and butter where
we like ranked our excitement level for each of them.
I think Vision Quest was maybe around then it would
have been low. But if we're just looking at like
the slate of things we currently know about that are coming,
like this show is the lowest thing for me on
the high level, I think, you know, maybe that's a
little bit lucky timing wise, because like, I wasn't that
hype for Eyes of Waconda or iron Heart. Goddamn iron Heart,
That's where I was got iron So maybe my I
don't know, I don't even know if I'd be more
excited for this than those. I guess they're all kind
of in the bottom tier for me excitement level wise,
So I don't know. I'll when I get a trailer,
maybe I'll maybe the hype levels will rise up and
I see who they get. You know, if they get
an actor I like and the human forms of these
robot people, then sure, maybe that could be fun. But
right now, eh, you.
Speaker 1: Gotta have James Pader though, right as Ultron, Like you
got to actually have him, you think, so I want, so,
I guess yeah, if they're not, if they don't physically
have the robot of Ultron, then I guess you do
get him, yeah, And if they don't, then I'll be pissed.
Because he's just dressed up like Robert California and he's
just the Lizard King.
Speaker 2: Yeah, awesome.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's coming to Disney Plus twenty twenty six, along
with I think everything else we talked about today, which
is crazy speed. Yeah, I'm excited to get a little
bit more of Tommy and I have nothing else to
say on that. Okay, so we're gonna close the comic
contractor there? You happy with that? Any of less things?
Speaker 2: No, pretty solid for just like uh, you know, not
having like an Avengers, not having like a big movie thing.
That's pretty good for like a little TV romp there.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think if it was just like the Vision stuff,
it'll be like, okay, we got a little bit more
on that. But like I mean, I'm obviously very biased,
but like just the Spider Man stuff gets me juiced,
and then pairing it with a great Wonderman trailer and
then yeah X Men ninety seven.
Speaker 2: I think that, Yeah, the wonder Man trailer, that's like
a really welcome surprise. So I think that if anything,
that's the success, that's the win here, because like X Men,
I don't know, Spider Man, it's pretty hard to mess
that up with how good. Those first seasons were. But yeah,
it's like, oh now I'm excited for a new thing
that I wasn't before. So success overall fantastic. All right, Uh, well,
let's talk about some trailers here.
Speaker 1: Why not we ask this, do.
Speaker 2: You want to do you want to talk about? Do
you want to officially kick that?
Speaker 1: I am like Ron Burgundy when it comes to like
I might teleprompter of like notes that I'm going through,
So it's like we say, it's like he once we're
done this, we're going to cover that, and then I
forget about that because I'm just reading my teleprompter and
then I just keep going.
Speaker 2: So, hey, if you're in a flow, you know, you
gotta flow, you gotta ride the flow.
Speaker 1: We're sub one hour, you know, we got time left
on the clock, Dyl Musk, What have you been watching? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I really just have two things to shout out. So
I saw the much beloved weapons.
Speaker 1: This is like two or three weeks ago now, but
it so avoid spoilers, I'm sure you will, but I
will avoid spoilers.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess I'll just say in a very little
non spoilery way that it's much different than I was expecting.
The vibes of it. I feel like, not that the
marketing was misleading, but I actually like that the trailers
kind of set up something different than what I got
in a way, so I don't I feel like, maybe
I don't want to say too much more because you
still haven't seen it yet. In that might it might
have already kind of changed how you perceive this thing
before you've seen it. But I really enjoyed it. It
had some really fun character moments in there. I really
like the structure of it. Once again without actually saying
any spoilers of it, and then like you know, the
freakiness of it, the mystery, the thriller, That aspect of
it was a thrilling time as well, So I did
enjoy it. I definitely am excited to have a conversation
about this one, whether it's a Golden Geeks or some
other time, about just like what this movie's about and
what it means, because I feel like in that sense,
I don't know if it really rose to the occasion.
It maybe set up some things and then in my opinion,
didn't really deliver them. But I'm excited to hear some
other interpretations of that. I don't know if there was
a chat we had in the discord for that, but
I'd be curious to go back and see what people
were saying about it, but definitely recommend it. It was.
It was super fun. I think you definitely got to
watch it before the years years up. I'm sure it's
on your your must watch list.
Speaker 1: It is absolutely who's the female leading that again? Or
who's like the school teacher because I remember that from
the trailer.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I'm totally blanking. Who is it.
Speaker 1: It's the blond lady right famous?
Speaker 2: Oh it's from Julia guard Garden.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Gardener, Yeah, there you go. Yeah, she's fantastic. So
I'm excited. And that's kind of all I really remember
from the trailers. And I'm not going to rewatch a trailer,
so I'm gonna keep that right on.
Speaker 2: Okay, cool, I'll leave it there on that one. But yeah,
I enjoyed that. And then the other one I saw
is a new movie. I saw Roofman with Channing Tatum
and Kristen Duntz and a couple other people that make
appearances in there, and man, I love this movie. It
was it was super good. I mean from the trailers
as such as that concept of it is really really strong.
It seems like a funny idea, but then it's like, oh,
this is based on a true story, and like at
the end of it, they do that thing where they
kind of like show here's like the scene in the
movie or the picture in the movie versus like the
news article or thing from real life, and like showing
some of those comparisons, and yeah, like I'm you know,
I'm sure a ton of this is Hollywood eyes, glamorized
and whatnot from like what actually occurred in real life.
But it's just a really interesting story, really different than
what you expect from like a typical criminal on the
run storyline. It was chocked full of heart, had a
lot of really heartwarming, warming, heartwarming moments in there. Maybe
the best performance I've seen from Channing Tatum. I don't
think it's like an all timer, like all this guy's
gotta win the Oscar or anything like that, but from
a guy who I've mostly just seen do like be
the stupid, big, big guy, Like in this he has
a lot more heart, he has a lot more range,
and I really enjoyed him in there. And then the
funniest thing for me, when I was watching this movie
is k kirston Dunts. She's like, I guess you'd call
her a supporting role. She doesn't really show up for
like the first half of the movie or whatever it
is her Her character's name in this movie is Lee,
And the whole time I was like, man, I swear
that was the name of her character in Civil War
as well, And then like, I, you know, I'm not
gonna I'm not, like, what do they call it? They
call it a a Sammy scroller.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: They said they don't be a Sammy scroller in the theater,
don't take out your phone, don't google things. So I
was not gonna be a Sammy scroller. So I waited
till the end of the movie, and then I googled
it and confirmed that her name in CI War was Lee.
I gotta say, Kurson dunce with playing character's named Lee,
fucking batting a hun. She is so good in this
and obviously so good in Civil War. But man, I
just this little re emergence, at least for me seeing
her and things, because I just feel like until Civil War,
I hadn't seen her anything since probably Spider Man, you know,
And I'm sure she's been doing stuff and probably good
movies and is a good actor. But yeah, just I'm
just really impressed by her. I think she's just such
a such a freaking great actress. So and that duo
was a really really fun combo as well. So yeah,
I really enjoyed this movie. I definitely recommend it to uh,
I think kind of anyone. Yeah, it's one of my
one of my favorites of the year for sure, and
it's a strong years I think that's that's saying something.
So check out Roofman for sure.
Speaker 1: Nice. Yeah, good show out. Yeah, that's all the ones
you wanna you wanna mention for him, I.
Speaker 2: Think so one of a watching Survivor and watching I
don't even know what I've been watching, those are the
two things I wanted to shout out though.
Speaker 1: Yeah, good shows out, good shouts out, good shouts outs,
shot outs. Uh. I have been watching Dexter, which Shane.
I just finished the finale for season seven. I won't
dive into too much details because I kind of want
to have a further discussion with Travis about him defending
seat and set, and you know, I don't want to
start that off by saying season seven is a fail.
It's just there's some things in it that I've major
problems with.
Speaker 2: So I between that and calling Travis a seat to
your Scooper, you're really trying to start a war here
before you go on holidays. You kind of just start
the fire.
Speaker 1: And then I think it's like a good ninety plus
percent of times when it's a Weekly Geek or or
any episode Travis isn't on, I feel like I just
naturally start like just ship talking him for some reason.
It's just just something that I have to get off
my chest. And you know, I can feel his presence
on the unable.
Speaker 2: To defend himself. That's when you got to go at him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. That's when I feel the safest when I
can do that.
Speaker 2: You can't pop in the room at any moment. You know,
he has that power.
Speaker 1: Oh he does that, you know he's in the shower
or something. But uh yeah, no, it's it's been an
interest teen ride. I wanted to rewatch it, of course,
because we're just in the Dexter multiverse and I was
powering through the first couple of seasons. Season five happened,
and it took me like four years to get through
it felt. Eventually got it through and then season six
zoom by, season seven zoom by. And I think a
big part of that is I got Shay on board.
I was getting her interested enough where like she actually
was like she would leave the room, she like asked
me to pause. So that's like a big moment when
it's like I'm not watching your show, but like, yeah,
you know, don't watch episodes without me, uh, And she was.
She even admitted she watched an episode without me because
I fell asleep on the couch and she just watched
the whole episode. And I was so not vibing with
where we were in the show, so I didn't even
rewatch that episode. I was just ready to do advance.
But it has been fun going through it. And yeah,
can you remind me what's.
Speaker 2: The like the killer or like the main action of
season six? That one's I feel like a blind spot
for me.
Speaker 1: What happens with season six is the Doomsday Killer with
Thomas Marshall or Travis Marshall is his name, which is
played by Tom Hanks's son, what was his name, Colin Hanks. Yeah,
that's a with like that War of Babylon. It's like
a very Biblical season, there's some stupid stuff where Dexter's
like praying to God like it's it's it gets, it
gets kind of silly. Not that religion is dumb or anything,
you know, I'm I'm not putting that out there, but
just it's like so inconsistent with the character I found.
But yeah, it was a slog to get through that season.
Season seven, there's some really stupid stuff that happens, but like, man,
the finale is fucking juicy. So we just watched that
today and it was it was fun. I really really
was vibing with that, and I never got through like
the first couple episodes of season eight, so it's gonna
be interesting going through that and actually finishing the show.
I think I'm actually I can confidently say I'm gonna
I'm going to get there. So that's what I've been
watching just basically daily, an episode or two a day.
And uh, in terms of movies, last week, I was sick, uh,
so I was just I was putting some things on
to just kind of have like background shows. It's weird.
I don't know, I don't know if you're similar to this,
but like if I'm sick and at home. I just
want to throw in like an action something and act
like what like just it could be a really stupid
action movie like Battleship or something like that, Like I
just want some action going on because I know I'm
going to be like fading in and out and I
just want to like wake up and just have some
big kaijus or something slapping each other around, like like
that's just it might be nostalgic, like maybe I just
remember watching that type of stuff when I was sick
as a kid.
Speaker 2: But the first one, I don't do that, but I
get why you do that. I think for me, it's
a like a comedy from between nineteen ninety five and
two thousand and seven is what I'm.
Speaker 1: Looking for, and when you're sick specifically, I think, so, yeah,
it's like Lord of the Rings or just like a
sci fi action something for okay, And Lord of the
Rings is like if I want to if I'm awake.
But this was like I took my night neo citron,
I'm I'm I'm gonna be fading in and out of
consciousness here I threw on now you see Me? The
first one, which I remember liking in theaters, and uh,
I hated it so much from the get go, to
the point that I turned it off in like ten minutes,
Like I didn't even get that, and like this is
me knowing that I'm this is gonna be me, Like
I'm gonna be falling asleep in fifteen minutes. And I
couldn't even make it ten minutes in into the into
the show. I had to actually stop it and turn
it off. I'm just man like, just the whole gimmick
of they do these ridiculous card tricks and stuff, and
it's like, oh, it's real, they're slight a handle. It's not.
It's a fucking movie. So it like takes away all
of the magic pun intended on that type of aspect. Okay,
I don't know. It just takes a lot of that
away from me and and just just whatever it is,
it was just upsetting me. So I turned it off.
I'm not gonna watch now you see me, Now you
don't it comes into theaters. What I did end up
putting on though, and I did watch in completion through
multiple sittings, because of course I fell asleep. Had to rewind.
Was Edge of Tomorrow. Have you heard or seen this movie?
Speaker 2: Heard of of course have I seen it. Let me
look at a picture of it again.
Speaker 1: You know, the guy that's just having fun making movies,
having a great time, Tom Cruise aside Bill Paxton, not
Bill Paxon, and Emily, Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt. I'm
not gonna spoil it, but the big concept of it
is our hero Tom Cruise is on this battlefield and
keeps reliving like the same day. So it's it's kind
of groundhoggy and in that sense, uh, to me, man,
this was scratching the death loop vibe so much. It
really made me want to actually, uh, just just just
that idea of like, you know, like you're in a
battle sequence and then like every time you really live,
like you relive like that day, like you're gonna know
kind of how to how to tackle a little bit
more officially, maybe a better and yeah, like I at
first it was like, hey, this is gonna be that
battleship level action movie that I'm really not interested in.
I was like fading in and out. But then certain
stuff happens, I think when he meets like Emily Blunt's character,
and Emily Blunt's fantastic in this Also, I was totally
getting hooked. And although I did fall asleep, you know,
multiple times, I rewound and and and finished the movie
and had a really good time with it. It's one
that's been on the list for a really really long time.
Like I feel like Travis recommended this movie like early
days of podcast, and I just always put it off,
and yeah, threw it on and had a really good
time with it. I definitely recommend it to just sci
fi fans. I mean, if you're just a fan of
Tom Cruise in those action roles, I think you'll get
something good out of it. And Bill Paxson is in
this movie. Uh, he's just just he's got a funny
accent in it and he's only really in it that
like at the beginning a lot. But yeah, I know
he's he's great as always. And uh yeah, no, it's good.
I recommend it. I liked it a lot.
Speaker 2: I'll put it on my list.
Speaker 1: There you go. Hm, that's all I have to say.
So we are going to take uh yeah, let's take
our last ad break and then we'll go into trailers.
Here here we are. Yeah, we got a couple of
trailers to talk about. You got some fingers for a question,
or you just oh, I'm is this like a rock
climber thing?
Speaker 2: I'm always moving my hands. Yeah, okay, it's a it's
a it's an issue.
Speaker 1: It's an issue.
Speaker 2: I need to calm down.
Speaker 1: Let's unpack this, Let's unpack this later. Uh, not on,
but my goodness, where do you want to start when
it comes to these trailers? We already talked about a
couple of trailers today, but these are specifically movie trailers.
Speaker 2: I know we're to sorry, Kirkland, send help because I'm
too freaking hyped at these uh these trailers. Okay, this
is a good this is a good batch here, or
at least a couple.
Speaker 1: It's been a while, right since we've had a good
proper crop of trailers, like I feel, normally it's like,
you know, minor spoilers. Mattie Saggs gave us the classic
Patreon question, rate We're gonna rate the or rank the
movies in our order of hype trailers, that is not
the movies. And normally it's like, Okay, there's like one
that I liked and the rest it's like, how do
I figure out the bottom the bottom order of these?
But man, like there's a good crop this week.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, consider me cropped officially. So let's there was,
let's stre some help because this is a new Sam
Raimi film. A concept here if noyone hasn't seen the
trailer yet, is a there's this kind of a piece
of ship boss played by Dylan O'Brien, who you know,
is employing Rachel McAdams, who's kind of like a down
on her luck type type character. It sounds like she
maybe he's gonna get fired. They go on this work
trip playing fucking crashes on a desert island and then
just the two of them are the only survivors. It
seems maybe there's some other ones in the water they
find at some point, but I think it's just really
the two of them and they kind of have to
just live with each other to survive. And she's doing
all the work and he's still being like I'm still
your boss, you know, and she's like fuck that. We're
in the middle of nowhere and we're just out for
survival at this point. But it's Sam Raimy, so you know,
it gets fucking weird. It's gonna get brutal. There's blood
a lot in this trailer, so you know there's gonna
be a lot of blood all over the place. Obviously
this characters probably losing their mind a little bit, probably
trying to tear each other apart. But man, I am
so hyped for this. I think this trailer is like
extremely well edited. I mean, Rachel McAdams, I feel like
it's been a minute since i've seen her just truly
pop off. And I saw in the discord today the
I'm talking about how Sam Raimi obviously worked with her
Multiverse a badness because she's in there as Christine, and
he wanted to work with her again, which is funny
because that it's like such a minor role for her.
But even then he was like, you know what, I
like this girl. I want to get her in another
Movie's always like, let me just go ahead and put
put her in the star en roll of my next thing.
And then you like, Dylan O'Brien's another guy that I
haven't just seen since the Maze Runner days. You know,
I don't know what he's been doing. I know he
got like injured at one point, and I think he
was kind of out of the biz for a little bit.
But to put him in like a big role like this,
which is against type for the things I've seen him
in where he's usually like the goodie two shoes, like
golden boy type type. Like I think this seems like
a really fun dynamic, so I am very hyped for this.
And like that one line that he says when then
they're playing, He's like, fasten your seatbelts if you're a
little bitch, And then they quick cut to like the
side of the plane blowing off and everyone of flying out,
fucking dying, laughing. So the Samury But it's gonna make
you laugh, it's gonna make you freaked out, it's gonna,
you know, shock you. And uh yeah, I think this
looks amazing. So I'm very hyped for this movie now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, yeah, this is a big surprise for me.
I feel like the pairing of Rachel McAdams and Dylan
O'Brien just totally uh surprise me. I I don't think
I'm like a big Dylan O'Brien fan or like cater
or anything. He's just very neutral. I try, yeah, I
try to get through. Like the Maze Runner series a
long time ago. I think I like Fell Asleep, the
second movie Never Never Never Never went past.
Speaker 2: The first good Time, good Time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you know, it's it's okay, who cares.
Speaker 2: It's like fucking.
Speaker 1: Hunger games man. Don't get me going on these book movies.
But I mean, I love Rachel McAdams. I haven't like
seen all of her films, but she's just so fantastic
and what she and what she's in, and most of
those roles are rom coms, so this is not a
rom comp So I'm I'm kind of excited to see
a different I would be a certain type of love. Yeah,
with how manic it seems certain characters get in this
in this trailer, I doubt that highly. But it looks
really really fun. Two actors that I just didn't really like.
I just didn't really put them two together. But uh yeah, no,
I I I like, especially for this type of movie.
It's funny too. I feel like for the longest time,
she always loved Dylan O'Brien back in the day, and
she said that I reminded her of Dylan O'Brien in
the early early stages. Yea handsome guy, so it makes sense.
And then Rachel McAdams she loves also, you know, so
it's it's kind of funny where this is the type
of movie it's a little fucked up, little thrillery that
not necessarily she would be interested in. But I'm curious
if I'll be able to get her to the movies
for this one because it's just the pairing, Like she
just loves those two actors and just very different roles
that i've seen like Rachel McAdams. Also when she's just
going like full almost like Willhelm Dafoe like Lighthouse level
of just psycho like, like when she's just yelling when
she does her hunt, She's like that is so fun.
She's like yelling like it's just I'm excited to see
that level that that she gets at. And Yeah, Dylan
O'Brien playing this like asshole type character, it's just I
had the same reaction when he's on the plane and
he just he just laughs hysterically, and it's the quick
cut the guy being sucked out of the plane. Yeah, no,
I'm I'm I am looking forward to this one and
one I had not heard of before, like i'd not
heard of two hours ago, and here we are. I'm
really vibing with it so quickly I can be sold
on something. Absolutely you chose last one, so I'm gonna
choose the next one just just because that's fair. I
think I'm gonna talk about next the Predator Badlands trailer.
I watched this trailer for the first time in theaters,
which for tron tron areas pretor Badlands trailer when you
saw an imax too, so you saw an even better
trailer than I saw, right, I.
Speaker 2: Mean, I saw the same trailer, just bigger screen or something.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm tempered, maybe I'm temperature tracking your your your
thoughts on the trailer, but I fucking love this trailer
so much. I I think I was interested enough in
just the concept like Predator, last handful of films minus
Prey like hasn't been the top quality. I don't know
if it's ever been like the top of quality, Like
even on those OG films, they're they're like fun to
go back to and look at. But just like I mean, no,
I should I shouldn't even say that first Predator movie
is fantastic. There's some cheesy, corny stuff in there, but
just the character of Predator is enough to get me
interested in in in it, especially that we've got through
like the retro on the podcast, So like, I am
invested in this series. I think anytime we get a
Alien or Predator project, I will be watching it, even
if it's Alien Earth. Unfortunately, but Man, Predator bad Lands.
This trailer fucking just had me juicing. I was so
vibing with everything about this trailer. Having El Fanning like
as this like synth that's just like basically the voice
on like there, like literally the voice on his shoulder.
But just because the character our protagonist is a yaucha
who doesn't speak English, Like how do you do a
whole movie with that? But then you have the great
just beautiful sounding looking El Fanning gonna be just just
taking us on this journey and just man like this
this seems like a video game, you know, where like
you're playing as the Preyer and you have you have
her on your shoulder. So I love this trailer. I
think it's gonna be such a fun time. And yeah,
it's cool to be coming off off of like Prey
that was just really really awesome project and then going
to this, which it could be terrible, but for what
was shown here, it looks really cool. I'm excited to
see the different species and stuff that our Predators taken on.
So yeah, no, I was vibing with this.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm, yeah, I mean even like not forgetting Killer
of Killers as well, like just like that trio of
like this kind of new crop of stuff that we
have gone on here is a really interesting position for
the for the franchise, and one that I've talked about.
I haven't seen all these movies, but i've you know,
just seen a handful of them. Obviously not like an
all time favorite for me, but yeah, I think this
this looks really fun. I like the concept here. I
like that we're kind of flipping the concept on its
head of like, rather than the predator being the villain,
the thing that we're that our heroes are up against,
like we're following his perspective or on this freaky planet
and it's like there's like these plants that kind of
explode when you get close to them, which that feels
extremely video gaming to your point there, you know, fighting
the big things, we get like a big mech fighting
like a giant creature. Like hell yeah, so it seems like,
you know, it's gonna be CGIF is gonna be an
action fest, probably not a ton of in depth story,
but I don't know, maybe they will bond a little bit,
like you know, obviously it's not like speak back to her.
I don't assume, but El Fanning kind of you know,
exit crazy exposition throwing some stuff over there. So yeah,
I'm quite into this. I think visually it looks really great.
And yeah, it seems like a kind of just a
fun twist, a fun concept, just like a fun popcorn flick.
And so I'm looking forward to, uh to seeing this
one as well. Yeah, uh let me take us over
to Die my Love. Another one that I hadn't hadn't
heard of until two hours ago. So yeah, this is
uh Robert Pattison and Jay Law. Jay Law much like
Rachel McAdams, Like I feel like it's been a minute
since I've seen her, just like popping off with like
some showing how great of an actor that she is,
of course, and I mean, I just love Robert Pattison
right now. He's just everything he's doing is like pure
gold between like Mickey seventeen, Batman all this light how
So I just I just love like the range of
projects and roles he's doing here. But this seems really fun,
like him kind of being seeming like a shitty husband
and her being this like a stay at home mom
who's not necessarily super happy with that life. She once
was a writer but doesn't really have like the inspiration anymore.
And that's where like there's a ton of shots in
here that are of like more trippy, larger than life moments,
and I feel like what's going on there is that
it's like, you know, even at one point in this trailer,
she's talking about how like you know, I'm ready in
my rate right now in my story, this wife is
about to kill her stupid husband or like whatever she
says something like that, And like some of these scenes
seem like, okay, like are we seeing the fiction of
her story? But like how does that work? Like is
that just like a vision she's seen? Is it like
a weird alternate dimension? Does it really just go that
insane where she's walking through like a burnt forest, Like
I don't actually know what's going on in this, but
I'm really excited to see like where that line is
between the reality and the fiction of her story. Like
to me, that seems like a really fun dynamic and
put two like the best actors out there doing it
and like pairing I haven't seen before. I don't know
if they've done a movie before, but I can't think
of one, so I don't know. I think this seems
like a really a really fun time. I didn't actually
look up who the director and writer is because I
didn't catch that when I was looking through this, But yeah,
what do you think of this one?
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a big surprise for me. I mean,
I feel like I had heard of a Robert Pattinson
Jaylaw project, just just because it's like two massive names,
especially ones that we would have been paying attention to.
But until I saw the name of the trailer, it's like, Okay, no,
I really didn't know too much about this project, but
big surprise. It's funny. It actually reminded me of The
Lighthouse in the sense of like you have two characters
that they start off like comrades and then it's just
like a dissent into madness. And it really seems like
it is like mostly Jaylaw that is like the cycle.
But I'm sure there's gonna be some Robert Patts and
stuff that he's you know, not a perfect character either,
whether it's like substance abuse or something like. I think
there's just gonna be some weight on the character. Do
you find anything in your googles.
Speaker 2: Yeah, director's name is Lynn Ramsey. She's also the writer,
but there's a couple of other writers as well. So
I've not heard of Lynn Ramsey. But I think to
your point, there like obviously a woman director, and it
seems like the movie is like from Jail's perspective specifically,
So maybe that's like I don't I guess we're getting that,
like we're seeing the movie through her eyes. I guess
that's more the focus of it, so which seems fitting
for this director. So that's cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I was getting like lighthouse vibes and like
a very twisted marriage story, just a combination of stuff
like that, and then you have two of you know,
arguably the best actors on the planet right now. Like
I'm sure there's just just just juice at the ying Yang,
not like the most one. I want to go out
of my way to just like see in theaters, which
might be weird to say, just like watch, yeah, but
like it's just like a heavy watch too, you know,
like I I and like there is already a list
of movies like something like Weapons that like you know,
it's it's more intense, like I kind of want to
have those higher up on the priority list. I especially that,
like I don't think Shaye wants to watch this with me,
so I have to be like a little bit more
selective when I'm watching just my solo flicks. And yeah,
I don't know when I am going to see this.
It really depends on if any of the other lads
see it. And if it's like a big Golden Geeks
contained contender, I think that will up the ante on one.
But definitely what I want to see eventually, just because
the actors are so great. I really like some of
the imagery in there, like you already shouted out like
the force that's burning, and just like a couple of
really cool shots of like whether it's just a zoom
in on like Jlaw's like wineglass as she's just like
sipping it from like the glass perspective and you just
kind of see, you know, a little bit of like
mass scare that's like like a little bit like just
just not looking all together. So I'm yeah, I kind
of imagine I can picture her what's gonna happen in
the story. Uh, but just like the supernatural aspect to it,
Like I kind of intrigued on on how much of
an aspect that is if it's just like a psychological thing,
like that's what they're actually or that's what they're seeing,
or if like that's actually what is happening, like you
like you were, you know, making the the potential pitch
of like this is a story that's kind of coming
to life because she is a writer. There's something about
just just just writers, right, Like I mean we just
went through the Shining.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: I talked about Alan Wake on Side Quest, which I
have downloaded, so that's ready to go. Uh. Just just
a tortured writer, Like it's just that that just ties
so well into horror stories.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Anyways, there's two more. There's two more. I'm gonna go.
I want to go. Yeah, I'm gonna do it. I'm
just gonna go. There might be revealing my cards here.
This trailer fucking blew my mind. And it's not The
Running Man, it is Psycho Killer. Oh okay, man, I
was so fucking vibing with this trailer and this movie
looks so fucked up and dark at parts. I want
to see this in theaters so bad. I didn't see
long legs in theaters, which this this reminded me of
just certain shots, whether it's like outside like those cops
on the highway, like just like the palette again where
it's just like snow, like wintertime, and then of course
like the satanic stuff that's in here. Man, I forget
her name. Uh, the lead, Giona Campbell, Georgina Cambell. Man,
I loved her so much Barbarian. I haven't seen her
too many things. I think I've seen her like one
thing other than that. But I'm sure she's gonna be
fantastic in this because because she was great in Barbarian,
and I really don't have anything that's like a con
on this trail. Like I loved how dark and fucked
up it got. Yeah, I love the setup. I don't
want to see anything else for this movie. I don't
want to be told anymore on the plot or anything
like that. Like I'm sold. I think it's just said
twenty twenty six. I don't. I don't think if it
has of an actual date. But man, like I'm I'm
ready for this and I'm I'm ready to be terrified. Uh,
it just seems like my level of horror where it
is like a slow burn psychological twisty. So, yeah, it
looks fucked up and I'm fucking there. So here we go,
cycle Killer.
Speaker 2: Nice. Yeah, I think I'm a little bit lower than you.
I thought it looked good, but I was more a
little more on the fence of like, Okay, I think
I need to see another trailer, or I need to
wait and hear those impressions in the discord or now
from you apparently because you're gonna be seeing this one
to confirm whether or not I'm gonna I'm gonna check
it out myself, Steve. It holds up to the hype,
but yeah, there's a lot of like really unsettled, like
even like the couple scenes we get with her talking
to her therapist, but like the camera angle where you
kind of just see like the back of the therapist, like
his voice does not sound very company and it sounds
like he's not making her feel better, and so like
I wonder what's going on there? Like that seems like
another cycle, like the psychological kind of horror part of
it as well. So definitely a ton of question marks here,
and I'm yeah, I just need to maybe see a
little bit more of them get answered. But I think
you kind of nailed it there, Like there's just a
lot of really great vibes here. I'm excited to see
Georgiana as well, because yeah, same barbarian vibes. She was
great in there, but I want to see what else
she's got, and it seems like she's carving out of
letting nice little niche for herself here. But but yeah,
definitely the big long legs energy, especially like being the
cop and stuff. One thing I didn't get from this
so at one point talking about like the death of
her husband, but then also like she sees her cop
friend die, like what's her husband? That's OK. I couldn't
tell if it was two separate instance, like man, that
would fuck someone up. Your partner dies, like your romantic partner,
your partner. Yeah, at work, that would be pretty intense.
So that makes sense, and that I mean that even
makes it almost worse to some extent because I'm sure
that was like her person in every sense of the word, right,
that's her whole life. She at this person would work
for however, eight to ten hours a day, it goes
home is with this person they do the next day,
So geez, I feel like that. There's a lot of
potential to play around with that idea, so hopefully another one.
I'm gonna look up the freaking director of this one
again unless you caught who it was, uh, it is
a producer of you know, substance producer.
Speaker 1: I think Barbarian was in there weapons like like that team,
which would make sense. Georgina Campbell, Yeah, tied there. I
was waiting for the long legs like tie because it
just the vibes seems so long legsy. But but alas
it didn't give us that.
Speaker 2: Okay, director's movie debut. So he's directed three. He's directed
roughly twelve episodes of television across three separate shows. Very interesting,
So that's the thing and the writer, what have we
got here? Love death and robots? He did an episode
of that The wolf Man, oh from twenty ten, not
the New wolf Man, Sleepy Hollow.
Speaker 1: Oh Man like Johnny Depp seven. Oh, I actually remember
seeing that on there, same thing with eight millimeter I
think is what it was.
Speaker 2: Okay, I don't I don't recognize. Oh. He did the
He's screenplay with the Killer as well, the one with
freaking uh Spender. Yeah, okay, yeah, so the writer's got
some cred for sure. Director is a bit more of
an unknown, But I mean even just looking at the
trailer and like the visuals of this, like the director's cooking.
Speaker 1: With the next great.
Speaker 2: Great about to say provloan, but I think it's just Polone.
Speaker 1: Remember the name, Remember the Provolone. Bring the Provolone cheese. Yeah.
The other thing I was gonna say is like, just
from this trailer, I saw this being like a potential
just golden geek riddled film. Ohady, I mean Georgina, she's
got track being fantastic, but like, man, like the one
scene where she goes to that house and you just
have like all of like the blood on on the wall,
like it just it just seems like there's gonna be
so many good, like practical sets on this film, and
they already show like multiple different locations and just just
looks like a really good looking film. Of course, judging
it by the trailer, probably not the best, but I
don't care. I'm doing it already. I'm so hype for
this film. I was getting chills talking about it, I
was getting chills watching it. I was getting chills watching
you google about it. So yeah, I'm so happy for you.
Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 2: Because because I you know, I had sent help and
die my love. But now you've got like three like
bangers over here that you're just I'm still on the
wall and maybe more, maybe more. The last one is
Running Man. Running Man trailer is the second trailer or
maybe third, but I've seen one other trailers for a
grad total of two. I guess you know. I don't
want to tip my cards too much here, but in
one timeline, we were recording the Running Man retrospective tonight
in this moment, that's what we were going to do,
and then we had to kick things back and we
ended up doing this Weekly Geek instead. So I did
watch the original Running Man. I don't really want to
talk about that yet. I want to save that for
the retro, but I have seen that original. Now, I
don't know that the first trailer didn't really do much
for me, and this one is I don't even like
this could have been the same trailer in terms of
like I feel like I didn't change my perspective at all,
didn't really show.
Speaker 1: Me anything new.
Speaker 2: I think this is I wanted to disappointed for me because,
like Edgar, Edgar writes very stylish, and this just doesn't
feel very stylish to me. It feels quite generic. And
I don't know, glenpal was cool and all, but like,
I'm just not very interested in this one. Uh. And
it's funny. I was laughing at one point in the trailer.
There's a throwaway line where he's like, I'm trying to
come back. I'm doing this so I can come back
to my family. But it was like one point five
seconds worth of dialogue, and I feel like it was
the movie trying to be like, oh, yeah, there's gonna
be some emotion in here. Don't worry, we're gonna hit
you with the feels too. But it's like, no, this
seems like it's just gonna be ninety nine percent action.
But then of course you're gonna have some boring storyline
where he's got to get back to his family. So
the only thing that you know, Michael Saya's in here.
Weird addition to an action movie like this. And then
also this guy named Martin I don't know his last name,
Martin from Please Don't Destroy. He's like an SNL writer
and he does some like skits with Please Don't Destroy.
I don't If you've seen any of their YouTube things
you should you should search please don't destroy if you
want some good two or three minute long funny skits.
They do some weird stuff. So to see him and
here too is like a very strange casting. And then
I'm kind of into so get some like weird, awkward
comedy actors in the mix. It seems like an odd
pairing with Running Man in my opinion, but Get Me
got me more interested than like anything else in here.
So I don't know, am I alone on this island?
Or are you more interested in Running Man?
Speaker 1: I am more interested in Running Man. But this trailer
really didn't do much for me. It didn't detract me,
Like I still do want to see this film. I
was just sold after that first trailer. It's like okay,
I'm I'm okay with it being a ninety percent action
thrill ride with like zero plot substance at all. Like
I just really liked the action that was shown in
that first trailer. I didn't really need any more than that.
This trailer felt like a more story trailer. If you
could make that are like, I think I would make
the argument just because they're like actually talking more about
what the contest is, and I think for that reason,
like I just didn't really care for this trailer as much.
They replayed some of like the action scenes that I'd
already seen, you know, when when the guy kicks the
grenade into the elevator, when he's like, you know, throw
it back and he kicks whatever, Like I'm sure I'm
just gonna be having no reaction to that in the theaters.
Credit to them if they can actually win me over
with that, But it's just it's one of those scenes
where I've just seen so many times now, I've seen
that trailer many times now. It's just just overdone. But
I haven't seen The Running Man yet. Okay, so I
am excited to see that original and talk about with
you guys on that retro. But I yeah, I was
already sold from that first trailer, and this the second one,
really didn't do much for me at all. I I
am excited for the cast, Like you got Brolin in
here with these just big fake veneer looking teeth as
if he's like a Hunger Games host choppers out a
great and powerful Coleman Domingo just chewing it up. So like,
I am excited for the performances of that, and uh,
I think Glenn Powell will be a good just just
like guy. And I say guy with like parentheses of
just like that's your male white video game character in
this action video game. Like that's kind of how I'm
seeing it. And I think he's gonna play the role
fantastic And I don't want to downplay him as an actor,
but I just think that type of performance is what
you want in this type movie, or at least that's
what I want. Like how Keanu is just a badass,
but he's silent. I don't think that, Like, I don't
think Glen Pell's ever going to reach that level. But
that's just the type of archetype of performance I want
Action Hero.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So like in this trailer when you talk about
his family and like I have to do this for
and I'm just like, I don't fucking care, you know,
just just just he's the running Man. That's all I
need and let's just let's just go with it. So, yeah,
that's what I'm looking forward to. Trailer lesser, trailer lesser. Yeah,
So if that's all over, ran, time to rank, I
will start the bidding, Okay at the very bottom. The
running Man just because you know, judging for the trailers
not necessarily my passion for the project, but uh, that's
where it lies. Second oh, I just hyper scrolled all
the way down, lost my list there. I think I'm
gonna go die My Love here. I mean, this is
a powerful week of trailers. So second last, it's pretty crazy,
but yeah, I don't know. It just reminded me of
I don't even want to explain myself. It's just it's
there because that's where it lies. Uh. And then above that,
I'm gonna put bad Lands here only because only because
I watched that trailer in theaters and then I started
watching it again, like the same trailer at home, and
I'm like, this hits nowhere near the level that it
did in the Yeah, of just the big effects. So
that's why it lies there. I am excited for the
film again, powerful week of trailers. So where I'm I at?
So Predator bad lens above, Running Man or Sorry by
Lens above, Die My Love, and then I'm gonna put
Send Help followed by Psycho Killer, psyc killer.
Speaker 2: Killer taking that cake?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: What about what about what the heck is called wonder Man?
Because that's a trailer too, where would you stick that
that's a TV.
Speaker 1: Show trailer, you know, Maddi specifically for TV shows. But
if you were to ask me, I think that would
be it could be like tied for second, but I
know we don't do ties, so I'll just slate it
in the number three spot just because I think Send
Love was Actually no, I'm gonna put number two. I'm
gonna put it above Send Love because I was gonna
say Send Love was like a big surprise. But the
whole trailer for wonder Man was a surprise and it
was a nice breath of fresh air. So yeah, no
great week of trailer Psycho Killer. God damn, I'm excited
for that. So that's that's a gold star number one.
But what about you?
Speaker 2: Nice well, First of all, show us to Carl Richie
in the chat a rare chat appearance for Carl. He's
listening listening to I'm gonna be listening as I fly
to Spain. Boys, you are good. What's up, Carl. Good
to see you, Thank you for listening. Have fun in Spain.
Hopefully you can join us on after nine you can
tell us about your journey. That sounds good, Okay, my
list running man, it's bottom of the list. Uh, No, Shocker, Kirkland,
Cover Your Ears, Psycho Killer for me, it's good. But
that's just how great of the this is.
Speaker 1: Quite unknown director is so abundance.
Speaker 2: That you know something's got to be at the bottom.
There he'll be the next one. Yay see. Then Carl
have fun in Spain. My friend wonder Man, wonder Man
is yeah, you wonder Man is next up. That's up
the number four on my list. Then we go up
to Predator Bad Lens at number three, Top three for Predator,
and then Die My Love It number two. I'm really
hyped on that trailer, and then send help for me
as it was probably not too surprising. The BET's definitely
my number one. That movie looks fucking amazing. So but yeah, man,
we got lucky here. We got a good crop, a
cop crop of trailers. So I'm pretty thrilled at this overall.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, me too. Let's keep it coming. Let's just
have no more bad trailers, only good trailers.
Speaker 2: Okay, Hollywood, hear me?
Speaker 1: Is it you wish to ask? You know, it's like
a good movie poster. It shouldn't be hard like we've
had millions of movies at this point. Let's just perfect
the just copy everyone else or just be original, you know,
just just come up with original ideas every time, just
like movies and TV shows. It's easy to pay everyone
right what they deserve, you know, ye, don't use they
have no disputes, don't fire people, good healthy working environment
with reasonable working hours, three day weekends.
Speaker 2: Pay for health insurance, all these you know, do these things, Hollywood.
It's easy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is easy. There's nough money to go around.
We are at the end of my teleprompter. That is all, folks.
Any final words, Dylan before we close this week.

post Turkey? Did you have a big turkey? Did you
have a turn Ducan?
Speaker 2: I had a small amount of turkey on Friday night,
So the triple fan has left the days ago, if
you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it was lingering this morning. I felt heavy, Yeah,
I was liken and man it was I don't know
how it is Vancouver. It was minus four this morning,
minus four degrees.
Speaker 2: I had to scrape the window the first time, so
it got colder.
Speaker 1: I slept with the window open too, so when I
woke up, it was like I thought, Arnold Schwarzenegger's freaking
uh free mister Freeze was gonna be sitting right next
to me. It was that level. It was that level
of coldness mark when I were cuddle up on the
on the bed. Shavee worked last night, so it was
just the boys and it was it was freezing. So
I don't even know why. I started telling him that
that's what happens. Thank you, come to the end. This
is what happens. Why I know a teleprompter, I just
go off off script and you have.
Speaker 2: To end the podcast.
Speaker 1: Okay, right, bye, bye bye. Have a good one next time.
