Speaker 1: Hello, ladies and gentlem and then welcome back to tres
told you. I am your host trast now, and yes
I'm here. I missed a month. I'm sorry. Like I said,
my goal when I got back was trying to do
this at least monthly, one episode a month, but that
kind of passed me by. But I am I trying to
another one that's up this month to make up for it.
I don't know, we'll see. Life is busy, obviously, lots
of stuff. Just in general. My life is busy, personal life,
always work, always stuff going on. The girls, all their dancers,
syles are going to and soccer is coming in so
soon I'll have a lot more time. But yeah, podcasting
is busy. Got a busy month, come on. That's why
I'm doing trest told you because usually if people don't know,
I think I said this is the Tras told me
to try to live myself to like three casts a week,
and this week all I did was side quests, So
I was like, okay, hopefully have some time there. Whoa,
now here's a funny thing. Now I have some more
ranting to do because we're gonna talking about Superman has
a final trailer today, we're gonna talk about this is
something I've been wanting to a little bit. I meant
to last week, trying to before last week or whenever
it came out. I don't know, but some early tracking
maybe questionable, but early tracking is out for Fantastic, for
dress Growth and Superman, so we're gonna talk about that,
and then just a quick little talk about Robert Egger's
making some uh some Christmas Carol and the Saw franchise,
because I uh, I thought I wanted to do on
newscast I was on and if the boys still want
to talk about some point. I didn't give it to
Kirkland and Taylor this week because the Kirkland's not really
seen them, so he has not much added. And then
by time he gets to delln tail Olds is okay,
I think, and I think I have a bit more
ranting to do than they might. But they're perfectly you know,
able to talk about or they called me on airs,
you bastard. But yeah, there's lots going on this week
in the geek first realm. What's going on the next
few months? I think, let me put my calendar here.
I think soon I know Taylor's records some let's see.
Oh yeah, soon, there's some stuff going on. We're doing
our next half night, which is Netflix and Fail which
I still need to organize and find a movie. Now,
this is what I keep looking at. Anyways, lots of
ten year stuff is going to be popping off here soon,
as we promised. August ninth is our ten year, ten
hour stream. You can make that stream longer and unlock
certain benefits spy subscribing, Patreon, upping your tier. We'll get
to that closer to day. As far as the tears
and the time slots of okay, we might go fifteen
minutes if you become a Phase one Patreon, phase two thirty,
you know whatever, it may be, right, we'll figure that
out as we did last year. So lots of good
stuff coming up. So there's two things. One, if you're
watching the video, you might know us where am I.
I've been waiting to do a podcast out here for
quite a while. I've many times wanted to do the
gimmick out here, especially in spring. It was nice. I'm
on the patio, my patio right now, but during the
giar there's a baseball field over to my left. You
cannot see that it's constantly has people playing, so never
can during the day right now, during the day would
be too hot. And then there's been other times where
I've wanted to do it at nighttime but it got
really chilly here because the good thing Jesus Christ, if
this stream just fucking ends, it's because there's lightning going on.
You might see it behind me at some point, so
it's probably the most riskiest time to do it. At
one point, I wasn't sure if tonight was gonna work out.
Oh whoa, I'm gonna stop wowing now, but I love
One night a couple of weeks ago, I fell sleep
out here just watching lightning. It was two hours. I say,
oh my goodness. You know, I don't know, just like
that type of stuff. Hopefully there's a test there's two
cars going by. Hopefully you barely hear that, and it
shouldn't happen that much. It's a pretty not busy road
and that's why I picked it now. And even they
go by, it's you just won. Every once in a while,
watch there'll be a fucking drag race or something, nurse
and kids running around. But of course lightning look like
it's about to start, so if this just ends, that's why.
Oh yeah, this nice breeze. But that's the thing I've
always want to do because in the nighttime though on
spring I couldn't do it because there's no houses here.
There is a house right over here, hopefully that won't
come out, but it's like no house is directly blocking us.
And then there's the road right there. Of course another
cargoes by. When I say they barely come by, it's
fucking ten to fifteen. What's going on? But I digress.
So the wind just gets, you know, whipping, It gets
pretty chilly, but right now it's God. We've been rocking
some thirty two degrees celsius type of days and it's
been it has been hot. But yeah, so I'm out
here on the deck trying this out. And yeah, we're
gonna talk about a lot of things today. Check out
later on this week Taylor and kirkcular are reviewing How
to Train Your Dragon. They also did a newscast that
I did cameo on from this very deck, so you
can check that out. Yeah, our entire Superman retrospective is
upworked out a lot. It's about Superman today, but we
root everything from Superman to Superman returns. That was tons
of fun just seeing you know, what things were like
all the way to that, because I have a good
memory of one and two but not of anything else.
So that was fun to revisit that. And then currently
I think the last the second episode drops tomorrow for
the Phase five or Phase two patrons and up we've
done twenty eight days later and twenty eight weeks later.
Obfusely next year, next year, next week we're reviewing twenty
eight years later, so that'll be lots of fun and yeah,
lots of big reviews, predictions, newscasts starting. Like I said,
mid June is a lot of our ten year content
than July is just full of it. Been watching some
nineteen ninety four movies. Watch The Crow this week, watch Edwood.
Don't want to share my thoughts, but I have one letter,
Boss because I just want to log them. But that's
been fun and yeah, and Taylor supposedly is revealing our
attacker this Friday. People have asked me about it. I
have nothing to do with this. As I've said, I
was attacked in the past. I would want to fight,
but after having the twins, I sit back. I don't.
I can't be a part of any of this mumbo jumbo.
You know, I can't be get in fights. I can't
risk this type of stuff. So I wish to tay
you the best of luck. But for people asking and
even him, he said, we want to confront this attacker.
Na I don't. I have no interest in doing that,
but Taor is going to be doing that. But what
I do have interested is in talking about Superman. Everybody
down below all links need to know. Patreon, that's best
way to support us. Get this in every episode add free,
along with hundreds of exclusive episodes you get to call
in on. After nine which in a couple of weeks,
we will be doing our Netflix and Fail which we're
all gonna do a movie night and watch a bad
movie on Netflix throw back to one of our old shows.
So check out that. And that's what we're doing for
our ten year the months leading up. It's just a
bunch of old shows from the first few years, spin
off shows, et cetera, bringing them back for an episode
run and should be a good time, and lots of
other stuff which we did a whole episode on And yeah,
we'd very much appreciate you going there. That's the best
way to support us because not only do it benefits,
that's how we can create stuff like we had four
side quests this week or Weekly Geek. You know, the
ad revenue that helps a lot too. So if you
can just describe us in there perfect but the Patreon
one that comes right to us, and it's a consistent
flow of what we know we're getting. Where ad revenue
all based on listens, It's sometimes just based on how
many advertisers are that month, et cetera. You can have
literally if people don't know, so you can literally have
one day listen to a thousand people, the next one
thousand people, same exact number, but different ad rate. It
all has to do with how long I listen, how
many advertisers are on that episode. It's a gamble. So
we appreciate everybody that is listening, but we very much
appreciate people are supportings on Patreon. So there we go.
But yeah, let's talk about this. So today tickets went
on sale. Man, it's been a whirlwin a little bit
because I think I talked about this a couple of
weeks ago and Weekly Geek, where you know, I try
to I online, I try to go in waves of
when I'm on because I'm always the people don't know this.
I imagine most podcasters that do this, or people to
write news blogs, et cetera. You just have notifications on accounts, right,
and that's what I try to do. I tried to,
uh turn the vibration off of my phone, but sometimes
I need that for actual work because my work uses
my phone a lot. So now I've switched to like
the noise and I try my best. If I'm not
at work, that just goes off. I leave it. It's
completely gone. But that's the best way. But there's times
where I scroll. I've always said there's a few times
one if I'm you know, doctor something like that on
the bus, then I'm scrolling that. That's what it's for,
you know that that's to kill some time. Most of
the time i'm online is when restling's happening, because wrestling
tours is very fun. But then obviously a day like
today where there's a trailer and the tickets, it's fun
to see what everyone's reaction is because like I can't
go and listen to everyone's podcast right away like that,
or they have record one, right, so it's like, let's
see the thoughts and whatnot, et cetera. I think the
only person I've listened to on their thoughts so and
then talking to the friends is Dave. You know, Foucas
stream might be biased, but I've said this before, like
most of the time, I just listen to my friends
now on podcasts. It's funny. I started listening to podcasters,
but then met friends and then oh I don't get
to talk to them all the time, but I listened
to that. It's also took as like almost all the
podcasters I listened to either changed in some way that
I didn't enjoy, or it was a group of people
and they went off on their own, or they have
new members, and it's like, oh, I'll still listen here
and there, but not like consistently we're oh every day
every episode here I am. Uh so that's why again,
hey key for ten, you're coming up very happy that
us four still all together. So we and we know
you guys have said that before too, like, oh, we
like you guys. There's a time we had lots of
guests on and in the survey I was like, hey,
go back to just like dude, mostly you guys, you know,
we still love having guests but we understand that, and
I understand that, right. But so today I was scrolling
during all that, especially when I was scrolling the most
because I was looking to see when tickets were going
so because knew it was the eleventh verse was twelve eleven,
but I was trying to find an actual time. I
never really got that, but did say, okay, tickets are
on self, great excuse me. Got those very excited. Going
with my oldest two ladies went a logan. They liked
what they've seen so far. I think Ellie might like it.
She's three, but I think it's a better chance at home.
She got through the Lord of the Rings Extended, but
near the end she was feeling it. But she likes
those big fantasy and superheroes, Like right now she's fucking
just Binge and Spidey and friends. So it's just she's
starting to like this stuff. And that's stuff that I
didn't even introduce her spiding friends. She just saw them
one to watch it. But anyway, so we're gonna see that,
and it's exciting to see. Uh, let's see s bubbs
man the chair in the late night for me, I know,
and this is Spobs might be the only person in
the chat tonight because I didn't promote this. I didn't
I even say it was a weekend. But it's just ran.
Sometimes that's what happens is if I if I know
I got a free window, kids are asleep and was asleep,
I got nothing to do, I'm going s bubsky on
a chair and might give it. Co host says one
of my favorite podcasts, I started listening to the Pandemic.
So they're hosted online, and once they went back to person,
it was just different. I didn't enjoy it at all anymore. Really,
one of my favorite podcasts I started listening to In
Pandemic so so the host did it online, and once
they went back in person, it was just different. I
did enjoy it at all anymore. That's interesting as pubs
because I felt like, as we we'll talk about that
for our ten year, but like you know this, how
probably when you started listening, we were all virtual when
we started for twenty let's see twenty fifteen to yeah,
twenty I guess yeah, for five years we were in
person and myself and Taya or not BeFAN of that.
But I think there's lots of people I don't think
we Luckily, the core people we still talk to a lot,
like people like Hansy or like Carl that are like
really way back like twenty fifteen, sixteen oh April, she's
like seventeenth somewhere there, like those people. Luckily, a lot
of the people that we've spoken with a lot or
have been on after nine we didn't lose. So that's
great because we love having those in the community because
you know, they're fun people. Hancy's a criminal though, so
that's the only name and the thing. But I think
we did, like probably lose some people because everyone always said,
like that was, you know, such a good dynamics. That's
interesting that they went back in person. He didn't like
that because that's crazy because there's certain things too, like
I used to like talking about that. There's a I
used to watch. I still listen to him, Christian Harlof.
He was part of Shmos. He was part of Schmo's
and that's the same thing where I listened to him
depending on the guest now because it's just his channel
and he has different people on every day and sometimes
like not that that person, but same thing he did
like a movie trivia thing, and he even admitted that
when COVID happened, it went completely online and I kind
of killed the show because just the vibe was gone.
And we even said that with Gauntlet too, like we
used to do the entrances and everybody with COVID if
it was just like oh me and Tanna Kirkle in
a room didn't have that vibe. So that's interesting. But
some Scroll Day Final stuff you seen popworm buckets, all
those things. And I will say back to what I
was making my point for there was a point where
when I would see some of my DC people talk, uh,
because my algorithms definitely coded that way with certain people
I follow. It was but where's the marketing? Where's that?
You can't say that now? Superman's fucking everywhere probably too much,
And it's not for probably people that don't follow the
stuff or do news, because that's where I am, like,
I have no vocations on right, So I have no
vocations on for a couple news sites and everything like that,
and I do for James gunn for Twitter, right because
it's not that I need to know what James Gounnas
doing all the time, but there was and even less
so maybe after Superman I should probably I could probably stop.
But there was a time where he was tweeting on
like lots of updates or you know, debunks or whatever,
especial when I first got there. So I do still
have no notifications on for him, and he's been tweeted out.
I thought, like even and I'm gonna say it's a
bad thing, right because I don't I think they should attack, attack, attack.
I think it's just people like myself that are in
the bubbles. Okay, I've gotten too much. I'm not sick
of Superman, but it's okay. I don't need to see
anything more of Superman. I got it. But it felt
like this week was very much like, Hey, for the
next few, you know, weeks to a month and a half,
we're gonna tweet all this stuff. Let's say we have
three works, three weeks worth of content and we're gonna
post that all over. It's felt like we've gone that
and just because today's Wednesday, in just three days, it's
been nuts. And I'm not saying that's a bad thing
because I think DC needs that, you know, that feeling
of like you can't miss it, needs that feeling of
you have to see it, you can't miss and in
case anybody is passes by, they'll see the popcorn bucket,
they'll see the trust fall, they'll see the interviews. I
don't think it's badly, but it's so much I can't
really keep up on. Like I actually want to watch
that Fendango interview with Perry Nimrov because like I like
her and a few clips i've seen it, like look good,
but she's like all happening at once, So that's interesting
that it's going that route. But I don't think it's
a bad thing. And it's funny because like they have
the same guy who did Barbie, right, but even if
Barbie didn't feel like that, don't know what, And probably
just because I'm in the bubble right, because it's not
always my algorithm that way. It's multiple people that are,
you know, tweeting about Tombo. Lots people tweeting too much
about it. But I'm never gonna say that because people
are excited, right, so go ahead, have your fun. But
we're in full blitz and we're literally a month away,
so it's interesting to see got some people get in
the early screenings, which they announced Fandago said's the best
pre sales for the early screenings early access screens tomorrow
or imagine Friday, we'll probably get some sort of note
of if they beat F four. I can't remember what
was I think Fandaego said like day one sales for
F four, right, so we'll get some tracking there, and
I imagine it will, just because I feel more hype
from that, even though I talked to people eating Kyle
who will get back from and do and stuff like that.
He was over this weekend and so you always seen
super Mays got like, I just I don't really have
any interest of seeing like another Superman and kind of
we've already done that. And then they're like, oh, what
about f Ford. It's like, ah, yeah, not really, like
you know, all the other ones sucked. I'm like, oh
it's different, yeah, I know. And I like that's a
general like I'm not going around talking to people like that,
but I haven't bumped into anybody in my normal life
that's been like I can't wait for Superman. I can't
wait for Fantastic four other than my kids, right, which
I have to decide if I'm taking my kid's Fantastic four.
I'm like back and forth not. I think it's gonna
be scary. That's fine. They've watched all the rings just
like they can enjoy it. But I think in mind,
I think the like Franklin and the Thing and stuff.
So we'll see. But yeah, so far, that's good for
the early access. And obviously there's lots of tracking going on,
so we're gonna talk about that. But we're also gonna
talk about they released a full trailer, which I was
not expecting as expecting a teaser the whole thirty seconds.
You know, you know, tickets on sale now this state.
But I'll pull it up. I'm not gonna do the
full geek first breakdown and whatnot because I am alone here,
but I'll pull up some shots and talk about it.
I thought it was another good showing. I don't think
it was. I don't know. I don't know if it
was as good as the second one, but I think
this was a good I don't know. This is a
very basic like I'm of two minds. To me, this
is a basic. Hey, this is Superman, this is the movie,
and pretty much it's Superman versus Lex and a few
things of the world. I think the positives of that
is here's the basic, Like, you don't need to catch
up on X, Y and Z. You don't need to
see these movies. This doesn't look like it's part of
a bigger universe per se. Of like, of course there's
other heroes and characters, but I mean the sense like,
oh you gotta see everything to understand two men. No.
But then the negative is people could just look and
be like, Okay, it's just Superman again. Now there's lots
of people that are younger, it could be their first time.
But still, if it's just okay, villain really hates Superman
and Superman's gonna fight him, cool, what's new? That's what
I liked about the second trailer, and that's why I
think that one's the best so far. And I won't
see anything more really other than the teaser spouse backs.
But the second one was obviously hitting on similar themes
that we've gone. Man still in BBS, but a slight difference,
and I like the lowest and dynamic. But I think
this is a good Hey, tickets are in sale, now
get to crack and s pub says, I still have
not vacations on for Gun as well. Same with Matt Reeves.
I never had Matt Reeves. I feel like because Matt
reeves whether it was the discorder GA, I would just
get notified right away, especially when he's dropping those gifts. Man,
I hope we get those casting gifts again, and I
could just just be feeling it. I suppose there's still
a few seats left for early Superman screening me, so
I might go to that, you bastard. Maybe it's because
your life's busy, s bubs. We didn't get any here
in Canada, you know, So the fact you're like, well,
you know there's a few left, I might go. You
got the option, I would just fucking go. I'm not
even big Superman fan, you know. It's like seeing things early,
and I've got to seen anything early since really COVID.
I think Bullet Training was it. But we used to
got so many screenings in Vancouver and Seattle, like that's
how we saw a civil war and Wonder Woman. Oh
there's another Spider verse. There's another one too, where we
in the Givers are we're seeing lots of stuff early
but or the beginning era before COVID. But in speak
of this trailer, let's see here. I won't have any
sound on it because I'm alone here, so I don't know.
That's my reasoning. Let's see here. So, yeah, you got
a building crashing? Cool? Yeah, let's see. Can I pull
a different way? I'm trying to make it that I
get Okay, perfect this shot We've talked at four great
shot of Superman just in there, you know, in this
whatevers move that over here. Okay. Uh So it's so yeah,
beginning very much similar. You know, Lex gets into the
fortless solitudes. So it's nice to finally meet him, which
is interesting. He says that it could just be like
an over you know, like just in general meeting him.
But I don't think they actually show any scenes of
Superman and Lex together, which is interesting. So and this
time this is a scene where which I am appreciating.
This is where I said, it's just very basic. It's
just Lex saying, hey, I'm gonna kill you kill a
reporter friend and oh the pill it raised you, I'm
gonna kill him too. I think obviously that there's because
I disagree this statement, many people go, well, you know,
the best villains they have mode of you understand them. No,
I think those can be great characters, but just in
the even the horror realm, right, like Freddy Krueger. What's
his motives? He's a fucking sick psychopath, you know, a
joker in the dark Knight, Like, if you can achieve
a great performance and add a few little wrinkles, especially
with someone that's a human like Lex Luthor of why
they're doing this, then sure they can just be evil.
And that's really which I'm not sure which alig or
he's gonna go for here, but we've seen this already
with the second Tary. I just talking about being an alien.
He doesn't belong here. He speaks about him like, oh
he's not human, but just like he's been raised, like
he talks about like lesser than like they are, like
Superman is a lower than dirt to him, much like
people would talk about many other people about whether it's
a different sexual orientation or different culture or different race,
whatever country they're from. We see that all the time,
and I think, to me, I could be wrong, but
I think what Gun's trying to do here is I
think Lex might appear to be you know, I've always
pitched him like he should be the rock, like the
rock out very much outside has this big persona and
very inviting, but then inside there might be this darkness.
Not saying the Rock has the darkness. I'm just saying, like,
like his outside persona should be Lex Luthor or should
be the Rock. Maybe not with the Maui dancing and
the Tila, but just his presence, right, welcoming, trustworthy, et cetera.
And he might do that when he is outside of
whatever these rooms are. He's got a lot of rooms.
But I think what I enjoy and this is where
some people are go, Oh, it might be one note,
but I think what's needed here is James Gunn said
he's making a movie about Superman, who's all about being
in a good about trying to be good in a
world that does not value being good. Right, So I
think if you were to have Lex big, well, I
hate you Superman, but it's kind of for x Y
and Z. I think that's one thing that's different than
Man of Steel and BBS, particularly where they're hitting on
some similar issues about should a Superman exist with Lex
Luthor in that I don't like he of course, like
I maybe I'm wrong. I don't watch the movie over over.
It could be wrong, but I don't feel like he
like hates Superman. I think it's more he hates the
idea of this greater being like this past. And also
that's what Lex says in this trailer too, right, like
those powerful being in the world. But to me, that's
more in a sense of well, this there's something. It's
similar to what Batman feels like, this is something so
powerful we gotta take it out right, Like he has
that quote about like you know something about all powerful.
No fuck, it is a good line in there. I
can't remember what it is. But if someone's all good,
they can't be too all powerful, or if they're powerful, they
can't be all good something. I'm butchering it, but to
me that is its Lex is on more of a
moral high ground, where this just feels like a personal
high ground, whether it's people are talking about Superman not
Lex Luthor in the city, or it is just like
a this Lex Luthor is a racist piece of shit,
let's just call it out that way. Where I could
be wrong, but I don't think it's like Lex and
BBS is more political and more power hungry, where this
does just feel like for some reason in the world,
we know somebody or you've heard something that's like, yeah,
I don't like this person's X, Y and Z. We're
in Pride month. You know, it's something like that where
people if they dislike gay people or trans people. I've
never understood it. I've never understood It's the same way
I review religious people right where I'm oh God, I
can't remember the term. But I'm somebody that does not
believe in anything as far as religion goes. I believe
in certain things that have certain thoughts of that, Oh,
this could be real, this could be not real. But
that's where I am. I'm I'm open to a lot
of things. I'm not just a closed book because there's
many There's an issue in the world, and there's cases
for a point A and point b, and until we
figure them out, I can't just go, you know what,
this is what it is, and maybe that's faith, right,
But what I appreciate for, you know, people that are
religious and go to church and whatever they believe, I'm
perfectly fine with them doing whatever they do as long
as they don't impact my life in a negative way
and impact others in a negative way. To me, you
can be the whitest, straightest motherfucker, and if you're an
asshole or or a criminal, whatever, then you can face
the consequences. And that's where again, and that's where it's
like someone being awful, right if someone I have no
problem like I've gay friends, I've transfriends, but it's like
I've never had I've never understood like that aspect, all right,
of okay, if a man knows a man, what does
it matter to you? You know, that's where obviously sometimes
the Bible comes in religion, But in the most part
for me, it's like, what is that change about your day?
Take that out, Like how does that actually impact you?
But we know there are people in the world that
for whatever reason, they're gonna try to justify it. It
does impact them, and they're the worst. And that's why
I think they're trying that James gun is trying to
do with this to show, hey, this is lex Luthor.
He's a piece of shit. It's not like, oh, he
doesn't like Superman because it's justified because Superman did this,
which I feel like with Lexic kind of tried to
do right in BVS in Superman, like the original Nasty
Superman's just kind of in the way he's a nuisance
and he wants to like do stuff of real Estateia
as other schemes, like it's not directly at because of
Superman just happens to be around So and I think
Lexus or So. I think Holt's gonna deliver that fantastically.
And I don't think there's anything wrong with that. I
don't think there's anything wrong with having something's just a
pure bad guy. You Still, that's where I think you
have to do like this where you get a great
actor when it is someone like and even then they
have the reasons, but let's just say like the Dark
Elf and Thord Dark World or Malekith right, he's just
like he's bad, wants power, wants to destroy things, and
not a good performance, not anything fun or flashy. That's
when it's tough. That's when you're gonna get a Heath Ledger,
you know, something where it's like, Okay, this is a
character that really has normal or compass, will do anything
they want, but we're getting a hell for performance. And
I think Holt, I'm not gonna say he's going to
be Heath Ledger's joke or I'm not putting them on that.
No one, no one has reached that level anywhere. I
know people are gonna say I'm biased in the Batman guy.
I don't think there's any performance in the world still
that reaches what he Fledger did there. And I think
Holt's gonna be a great lex here and really represents
some good stuff here. Get the shot again that they
love showing a Superman hurt uh just laxly. He just
looks like such a piece of shit, And I think
hol It's gonna do a great job at portraying that.
There's multiple roles. He's done that before, so again, and
that's the good thing with this trailer. We've seen some
things before, so it wasn't just a spam of entirely
new stuff. I don't need to see the whole movie
before we get into there. Let's hear this Kayaju and
looking forward that like in this flying stuff, there's other
flying stuff later that looks a little if this right
here when it's like the wide out shots of him
flying around, they said they're going for top of Maverick.
I see that. I also see like a bit of
Neo in there, which I loved because everyone after Matrix
was like, oh, little Chewsky should make Superman, and you know,
maybe they should have. But we didn't get there. Obviously,
there is like people are talking about this shaw. He'll
see if I can pose it where Superman is getting
keep visioned by another individual, where they have some sort
of armor and longer hair. I don't know how much
I want to talk about that. I think if you
don't know what's going on with this character, don't look
any further. And if you do, then I think it
kind of confirmed some things we heard like years ago.
And that's the thing with the Hollywood nowadays, right, like
things just leak. I remember, God, Civil War came out
in twenty sixteen, and I'm pretty sure in like twenty fourteen,
I think someone that's like scooped, like, yeah, the main
big reveal is gonna be like Bucky killed Iron Man's parents.
That's gonna drive him part, Like it's really tough to
get some stuff to stay secretive. Right, So, but if
that thing is true, I'm looking very excited. This shot
is great. I think it's the lighting I used as
a thumbnail a couple days ago, or the day go
for Weekly Geek. I don't know, because I'm not a
Superman guy. I don't know if this happened animated stuff
or comics. I'm not saying I dislike it. I'm just
getting used to the idea of I'm guessing that he
has a bunch of like red around his eyes. I'm
getting used to the idea of his heat vision being
so hot him. I'm completely fine that it's a fucking
laser being pretty much come out of your head. It
might do something. It's just something I've never seen before,
and for me, I kind of hope because it has
like an an odd look to it, like d looks
like he's sunburned a little bit. What I don't mind
or like it is if it is in certain moments
where he is going crazy with it. I don't need
every time he use the heart the heat vision for
his eyes to be, you know, looking like he didn't
use sp forty or whatnot. Right, So this shot, oh,
this one's tough for me. So it's him and Crypto
fly up. That's all great, Like, I'm fine for Crypto.
That's what they're doing. It's something when we talk about
stuff they haven't done before. Yes, James Gunn has done this,
but we've not seen Superman with his dog or whoever's dog.
It's gonna be. So it's then they fly up and
they fight this guy and he stops like Crypto like
takes his helmet off, and then Superman goes up and
punches him mid air. Right. Some of this really close
slow most stuff doesn't look the greatest. I agree with
people peep make the comparison. It's the same cinema tag there.
It has moments of flashisms, which I still like the flash,
but there is some not looking, not good looking stuff
in that movie. This shot, I'm of two minds because
I don't like it visually, but I like the idea
of he punches this guy and then his teeth hit
the frame and even make a noise, right, and I
think this sequence gonna be a big high I just
pause here and he's a slum now where I think
these are the Raptors. It's like Lex's army or something
like that, where it's a bunch of them in the
sky and Superman just going crazy on them. I like
that idea because that idea of Crypto flies up, take
the helmet, Superman punches them and then his teeth hit
the you know the screen that is a comic book
panel there, right. But at the same time, not everything
can transfer from a comic panel to it, And I
don't mean it's a little panel. Maybe it is, but
I just like it looks like a panel you would
see in the actual movie. Though. It as far as
just this scene right here looks like a little like, eh, like,
it looks almost too video gaming, and not the sense
of the action, just the sense of what it looks like.
And that's always tough, right because it's a superhero. It's
Man flying, but particularly this shot, because he's flying, you
could have him standing there. It still might look funny, right,
and also too like, I don't know what these raptors,
if it's just the armor or if they're like more
powered mutes or whatnot, or humana humans whatever it may be.
I could be wrong. I guess he's holding back his punch.
I just feel like if Superman were to punch a
regular human being, that person's head would go flying like miles.
But I digress. Cool shot here of it looks like
Metropolis is being parted or something like that. I like
the look of the city here. I enjoy that shot there.
So Metropolis and uh, we gotta look at Guy Gardner.
Lots of green going on, so I'm sure this is
when guys like put like a big like Superman like
or a big light green lantern shield around them or
something like that. And I know people have talked about
if people don't know, there's a classic comic panel where
Guy Gardner who's just known as like a regular piece
of shit instead of a bitch all the time character,
and Patman just cold clocks him and punches him. I
don't want them to do this here one because I
want my boys Batman to still have that honor of
doing that. But I would like it built up as
far as he's in Superman, he's in lanterns, and finally
it takes like the human to punch him and be like, hey,
enough of this guy. But it looks eerily similar, so
I wouldn't be surprised if there's something like this, you know.
So let's see. So it's just parked over there, so
just gonna free show geek first. There you go him Versultraman.
We've seen this like almost every trailer, so in the
like football stadium there this I know I said last time,
and again people can say, well that's how does the comics.
That's fine. It's just like in books. It's like how
things are you can change him? This chair just sucks.
I don't care like miss like, I just don't feel
like any But he's gonna look at mister tripping like
this is cool. It's just even the way he's like,
like the way he's arched, like, I don't know, it
just doesn't And again maybe this is from the comics.
He has his chair where he sits like that doesn't
look great to me. Who knows what's going on here?
I've seen lots of theories about Pawka dimensions and multiverse stuff,
and I don't know much about Baby Joey. I don't
know what Baby Joey does. I don't know if he's
doing this or something else. Awfully, obviously, we've heard some
sort of rumblings about a multiverse stuff being a peacemaker
as well. So uh yeah, like we'll see. That's one
where everyone's been like, hey, there's it's the start of
a whole new world. He saw that lightning, didn't you,
big one. It's a start of a whole new world.
There's lots of villains in here, there's lots of characters.
Do we need that? Like? So far the list of
things people being like, do we need X, Y, and Z.
I'd be like yeah or not yeah, but I'd be
like I could see why, or I don't think it's
gonna be a issue, right, like the Justice Gang. I
don't think it's gonna be in this movie that much.
I think, oh we'gan some big rumbos now ladies and gentlemen.
I don't think it's gonna be a point. I think
it's gonna be like Robert Downey inspier Man, which I
thought was a good amount, right, something like the multiverse.
If this is right, let's say that's just been a theory.
If it isn't there, I don't think that needs to
be in here so early. You can leave that for
Peace Banker because it's a show, not as many eyes,
even Superman two or whatever the sequel may be. That
Taylor and Kirkland forgot to talk about check a weekly
Geek de Finement, little rant there. I just think, especially
with I don't know, I'm of two minds, right, because
I hear lots of people talk about how sick they
are the multiverse, and I feel like I hear my
friends like I think even cost with it. To me,
I hear a podcast I listen to say that. But
as I've talked about before, in the MCU, its most
probable films are the multiverse films. It's the top three
since Covid or since Endgame have been No Way Home, Deadpool, Wolverine,
Doctor Strange, and then after that's Guardians and then thor or five.
So and those are like poplar sequels, right, But the
top three, maybe the mainstream is not. So maybe I'll
take that back. Maybe maybe, because I think that's for
the audience that might be harders like more multiverse stuff.
But fuck, maybe they'll be like, yeah, cool, I like
that over there. Maybe we'll see camm Well, maybe we'll
see this, Like, I don't know. To me, here's the thing,
there's two different multiverses. There is the multiverse nostalgia, which
that's why I think that your audiences show up for
if it's the multiverse rules like a Loki and we're
setting up King Dinas your Secret Wars. That's what I
don't think is needed here. I don't think it's needed
at all here. I think for your first film, just wait,
I think if you start to do too much of that,
like big world building of multiverse stuff, people will be like, oh,
this again, but maybe I'm wrong, and maybe it's so
small again that it won't matter and people won't care.
It's kind of like when Doctor Strange in the first one,
when we just fall in through all his universes, right
that was the multiverse, but people didn't really take it
like that because I remember multiverse madness to be like, well,
he's already been before, and we talked about that where
some people didn't understand. So we'll see and I don't
know what the fuck baby Joey is, so we'll see
this shot right here. There's something that people have pointed
out that which I agree with, that the very first look.
I can't posit it any better. I'll try one more time,
but the very first look, like the teaser trailer that
like the outside shots and lots of the world building
there we go or lot's of the world. There was
moments of it that felt like commercially and not commercial
in the sense of like oh, a big brand, like
literally a commercial, and just something was off about it.
And the color grain just didn't look You don't want
to say natural, because the most color graining doesn't right.
You look at most movies like if you were to
take the actual just first, like the actual, real the file.
It doesn't look like that, like even with our films,
like they don't look like the I don't think there's
a single shot in adrenochrome that's there is there's when
Taylor v logs and if you've seen the movie know
other that because I didn't have to change that. Other
than that, everything's color grade one way or another. So
and this is that it just looks I don't know,
it looks pale. And I'm not saying that because Lois
Lane looks very white and pale. It just it feels
like when you see a when you're on a ride
and you see like the Welcome to the you know,
the lex Core ship ride and they've shot something where
it's like, oh, that's definitely like the set and the props,
but something looks a little off. That's what this looks now.
I will say in the second trailer, a lot of
that stuff was gone or looked better. So I still
think it's gonna be in this movie. I think there's
gonna be sometin things that don't look aesthetically pleasing, but
they aesthetically fit the vibe they're going for. So we'll
just have to see kind of like what the percentages?
When I saw this, it's like, I don't know, there's
just something about this here that I wasn't wasn't driving with.
But we'll continue. Let's see Robert bats jumping out of
that poor girls chills. That would be that would be
probably one of our biggest reviews ever. So you know
what at that point, not too mad. We got more
of the Superman chanting scene, but I would be mad obviously, right.
And here's another moment where lex is there and he's
just saying, Hey, they chose Superman, We're gonna kill them again.
I think on the outside he'll say some things, but
for us, just like this guy's a piece of shit
and trying to say, like, hey, if you know somebody
that's you know, racist or against trans people or gay
people or anybody that's somewhat different, they can say whatever
they want, but deep down to their core, they're probably
just a shitty person like Lexus. Here classic shot of
him saying that girl again, which is you know, a
winner every time. Uh, let's see here, you know, some
some gun humor, and we'll see this is the whole thing,
Like what are you doing down there? And then I
think Clark's like, oh, I'm just trying to, you know,
do my best. I'm saving the day or whatnot. Don't
mind that. I think that does fits like that humor
fits like with a Superman. Also, if it's with gun
just want a right amount of it. I'm not saying
a fucking direless no, like James Gunn all that Colmedy
stuff you're really good at. Don't do it all. No,
I'm not saying that, just saying there's there's layers and
levels to it, right. And then this shot which is
a shot that I I guess it's all right because
I'm now looking forward to it, but there's part of
me that want to see the first time in the
the movies. It's a shot where they starting Superman's chest
he fly, It pans out and then it's just dozens
of the Raptors in air and Superman is just spinning
like a blender with his heat vision. This is looking
like just pure I'm not saying reason Habits Center films
in Habit, but this is just pure panelic comics. This
is something where it's like, okay, saving that I had
the flash of the fly, and that's what's funny that
maybe this is the better version of that. I said
in the best way, the flash felt like a Saturday
Morning cartoon, and that's what this feels like here, And
I've heard other people say like this these I just
feel like Superman the animated series. And I can't speak
that because I have seen it, but it's not when
I rewatch over and over. I wanted to before the
movie came out. Don't know if I'll get around to it.
My thing was spanning Batman, Batman Beyond and then watching
Justice League like I want to here and there, watched
over many times, but like watching them be good for
you know, four to five years. But Batman animates series,
I don't know if I watch it all the way
every year, but pretty pretty close to so. But just
a great shot I'm excited to see. I'm jealous of
you people that got IMAX because that is that's looking
like a good time. Lots of fun there. So yeah,
I thought it was a good trailer. We'll see what happens,
but I think all the you know, I thought the
teaser most of my stuff was like technical stuff issues,
but didn't hate it. The second one didn't. I really enjoyed.
That got me excited, but I was just questioning more like, Okay,
what is happening that's different per se, No, tell me
if you're hearing that windo out there, it's getting it's
getting juicy, I guess, hopefully not juicy wind but yeah.
And then this trailer I think just did a good
job of here's a bunch of cool stuff. Go get
tickets and uh yeah, I'll be interesting to see where
we're gonna land on these ticket sales. And we're gonna
talk about that in just a moment. We'll be right back,
and we are back. So this is to do it. Now.
This is from a site that it's called box Office Theory,
and it's sites it's something that people use for early
early tracking, right, So this is to say that, hey,
this this type of tracking because now we're gonna get
real tracking soon where it's ticket sales and purchases and
you know, demand x, Y and z. But before the
early tracking is all based on like social media impressions
and trailer review or trailer reviews and all this like
advertisements and purchase of said merch And what they do
is they take it and they go, Okay, let's say
the Batman did these numbers? Super Benstein doing these numbers
kind of comparable. Like let's say, if you're I don't know,
let's just say trailer got one million, one billion views, right, didn't,
But let's say swam Tril got one billion views. Oh,
the Batman got one point five billion views, so it
might be a little less than that. Right, So now
we're gonna start getting more and more as we had closer.
But it's early tracking, right, and the numbers of the
early tracking aren't too surprising, even though I think they
could change. So right now we could break it down
because I haven't looked at these, so I'm excited to
talk about them on air. Uh, the early this is
for the opening weekend domestic. Okay, so the lowest of
the guys I don't want to say guys. I guess
Jrassic War was led by Scar show lowest of the
July crew Fantastic four at one twenty five to one
thirty five. Now I know, I saw some stat I'm like, oh,
it's one of their biggest summer openings. Yeah, sure, I'm
sure it is because I more about the May crew.
But we'll get there. I'm gonna look at some of
the stuff and if git a second here, Superman was
a second with one point fifty and one seventy, and
then Drastic World was first place with one sixty five
to one eighty five. Now one obviously Fantastic Four nowhere near.
If these let's say these numbers are true, that's what
we're gonna do. It's like a sea tier thing. It's
for fun. We're talking about to see because these are
not the official tracking that'll come out. And just like
Ballerina this week, right, official tracking was like thirty five
to forty five May twenty five. Not good. We'll see
what happens with that movie. You can check out our
review top. Because it's a ninety million budget with all
those reshoots and everything. But do you just push ahead
and keep going? I don't know. And these budgets we
don't know, because Superman has been thrown around a bunch.
And I think Drassic World's clocking at one eighty because
they went cheap on that one. It's like boom, They're
they're gonna making the most profit Drassic World, right, And
I guess we could start there because let's see Drassic
let's go. I usually use the numbers thanks to Brent.
Shout out of Brent, hope you're doing well there. I
gotta message and see how you're doing. I feel like well.
I was gonna say, feel like we used to talk
all the time, but no, it's just because I used
to hear you. We still did. We still do talk
on good occasions. But I think just because I would
hear Marvel Alliance felt like Brent was talking to me.
But the only thing that box Office module is a
bit better is at the kind of breakdowns like opening
weekends and whatnot. Sometimes the numbers loses that. So and
now I got police sirens out there. Hopefully these strikes
and stuff are okay, because they're honestly over there. And
I don't know, if you hear the wind, we might
just get to this topic it was. It's picking up
big time, but it's it's feeling nice. Okay. Jurassic World,
I'm gonna pull them all up. We're gonna start with
the dinosaurs, right, let's see, not gonna go with the classics,
the old school One's just gonna go with uh, the
the new trilogy, right, I suppose, says the Baby Joe
Joey maniacs are running wild to the box office. I
thought you're gonna make some iguana joke. I sposed my god. Okay,
so opening weekend for Let's see where is Sometimes these
movies once they start to get older, they don't really Okay,
here we go, domestic opening of two oh eight for
the first Drastic World, and the next one was one
forty five U or sorry no, no sorry. The next
one was one forty eight, and then the next one
was one forty five, so kind of still in the ballpark.
All the made a billion dollars, give or take. I
should have not closed that. Let me pull that back up.
My bad, but that's pretty good considering if that tracking
was to be correct. So you got no not rebirth.
Don't fuck me over. They're trying to fuck me over.
Oh I can smell the rain, man, If they could
bottle the rain to be a smell that I could
have as a car fresher, like genuine rain, I'd pay
top top dollar. Drastic World's one point six billion, who man? Uh,
Drassic Domini, which was the third one, was just a billion,
and then uh, let's see Drastic World Fall and King
the second at one point three billion. Reason I wanted
to bring them up because you look at that the
second and third. The second was only three million higher
than the third one, So you would think, oh, their
box office runs is gonna be pretty similar, right, obviously
because they had a billion, But still there's still three
hundred million missing there. Granted, again, these movies came out
after Cold like still in that like comperiative like COVID
was an asbad, but still rounds a lot of people
stay at home. Uh. And granted they brought back the
Legends as well, but still three hundred million dollars pretty
good if it's tracking right now to what was that? Uh,
one sixty five to one eighty five. If those were
true numbers, that'd be the best opening since the first
draft of World, which makes sense. You're never gonna get that, right.
That's like Forced Awakens. It was coming back big stars
that Chris Pratt were emerging and everything, so that would
be a win. Now here's the thing that I feel like,
is a lot different than and this is for all
these movies, right, A lot different than with Jurassic World
came out Avengers. To me, those movies, it felt like
and I think he's I don't know what it's called
but someone. If you're on Twitter, you're really curious what
I'm talking about. Hit up Stephen Colbert. He's been on.
He's up here on Giver's like briefly journa try batt
but his wife has been on a couple of times
that they're good friends the show. I've talked to him
on the Vogas stream. They're good people over there, and
he's a great writer, like he he I don't know
if we have I guess to be probably that in
called I think we have different things. But he likes
looking at numbers and making charts, and he had this
great article one time where he's like looking at the
differences of years based and like a opening weekend and
the drop offs right, And he was one of the
first people to really point me out to the whole
the big Marvel fans come out for the opening week
And I feel like to give him credit. He was
on that way before it was really starting to get
bad of like the big sixty whatever drops right. So
that's the thing though, where even twenty fifteen, you'd make
this big bulk of money and you weren't expected. That's
why when the bvs sixty percent drop or whatever happened
or seventy whatever was some big number. That's why it
is so big because like, man, what a huge drop
off for a huge franchise. It is divisive, right, which
I there's parts that I do agree with that for sure.
And there was big drop offs before, but it was
because either it was something like an endgame where it
was massive opening weekends, so the drop off of what's
gonna be huge, or it would be bigger drop offs
but still making big amounts of change. We've seen many
movies have a massive opening you can like a quantmania,
and then the next weekend the legs just fall out
from under it. Right, So same thing where it's like,
we could be in a situation. Let's say that tracking
is true for Drastic World. It could make one eighty
five be only fifteen million less than Drastic World. Like
that's a one point six billion dollar movie. This is
gonna be massive, but it's not the same way. The
law of the opening weekend is those core people like
myself and like a lot of you guys that just
go for the opening week because you still love movies,
right and you want to see that event. There's lots
of people that now will wait or you know, I'm good,
don't care about theater, especially with things coming to streaming
so fast. If they know you can wait a little bit,
that's fine. Sure, Like even sinners like the fact that
it's like we haven't washed it at home because and
we want to see it. But the fact that it's
on view deal ready, it's like still like wow, that
that's crazy. That was a phenomenon, right, So that's hard
to say. And with Jurassic World, I really don't know.
That's what I've said before, so I'm sorry for repeating,
but that's what I love about all these franchises coming
on in July. Is One, it's just gonna be interesting
how the box office reacts. But two, they all have
they're all in a pivot point, right. Fantastic Four is
trying to rebuild and regain trust of Marvel fans. Superman's
trying to start a new and regain trust a little
bit for some people that didn't like the old universe
for whatever reason, right, And then Jurassic World is one
trying to see if we can do without these biggest
tap of stars. And two is it the new Transformers?
Where is box all like it's full proof where no
matter what if these movies that to me, uh dress
World two and three not great movies, and many people
to talk to not great movies, But it doesn't no
matter because people want to see dinosaurs and you don't
get them as much as a superhero movie right where
you're gonna least at least two of those a year
minimum nowadays, right? Or is it a case where it
is like the whenever it was in its age extinction
to the Last Night, we're eventually transformers the bad faith
cut up to them feeling I'm not gonna go see
those anymore, right, even with like the Piots Caribbean, same thing,
it caught up to them. So I supposed says at
Scargo is a big established star. Yes, okay, sorry, you're
completely right. I'll take back what I said. I mean
an established character in the sense of, hey, we can
get Chris Pratt and Bryce Dyles Howardard and Bryce Dauce
Howard versus Scargo nowhere near the same tier level. But
she's playing a character that's been in three three billion
dollar movie No, three billion dollar movies. That's a bad
way to phrase it. So that's what I mean, not that, Yes,
Scargo is a big star. Ada Like, I won't say
it's a big star for people known, but that's more
what I mean as far as absolutely and SCARGI, Oh,
it's way more bigger than I think Chris brad Bryce
tells Howard was when they did the first one. Uh
fu get with maniacs own Grady Maniacs not show out rebirths,
and they might not write there's people like Chris Bratt, right,
or they just feel like, oh I was connected with
those characters. Now it's new characters. I'm good for a bit, right,
So that's what I mean. But yeah, Scargo definitely a
big star and the same thing. We'll see her power.
So curious to see how that one goes. And I
know too A lot of people point out where they
used to make a lot of money in the international
markets where leveless international markets now don't pay out as
big now because they got their own movies. They figure
out during COVID, like, hey, we got to do our
own shit. And that's why the biggest movie year right
now is a movie from China, because it's like, oh, yeah,
we did this and people loved him great. So that
doesn't surprise me. It's opening in a bigger weekend. We're
gonna get to Fantastic four in a second, but I
do have my money on Swerman for the bigger weekend
as well too. It's interesting because people say that about
the internal national markets of Jurassic But to me, if
you like and I should make an official prediction, my
gut would say that, hey, you should go drastic because
even if they're paying out less big established franchise, but
I think it's gonna fall enough. And that's where I
think I'm gonna not pussy foot around because I don't
know if we'll do this topic again in the future
when we get closer, we'll do predictions, but I'm gonna
say Superman is gonna win the summer. Now, that's what
it all's with context, right, because it's all about trailers
and showings where I think Fantastic For for me, the
last trail there was better, and I think they've had
some good showings, but I don't think they're capturing the
huge mainstream audience. And I think obviously there's sons of
people that are. If you on the Marvel branch, I
think Superman is doing a great job of I said
that feels like the event movie of the summer. But
I still could see a world where Superman has the
bigger opening weekend, but Drastic makes more overall. So I'm
saying that, but I still say these three uds gonna win.
I think it's gonna be Superman. Now. I think it's
gonna beat that opening week, and I think it's tough
for me, right because let's see, I always go back
to this the Batman opening week, and we talked about
this the last week leak Geek, which some made a
good point right where let's see here made well not
too lower than I thought as one twenty eight nine. Uh,
but the thing is this, so I think it definitely
bet that that was still a little bit of COVID,
and that's a bit darker movie as a family movie.
I'm trying to I had them last week. I think
it was May. It was the budgets. I can't remember
what it was, but I think it was. You would
put it in like the top ten or fifteen opening
weekends of super Movie since COVID, which is not like
a bad thing because like, you know, yeah, I should
have pulled that up. It's I had. I did the
homework weeks ago. And then got rid of it. But
either way, all those numbers are good. But same thing.
It's about the weekends after the fact, right, There's many
moves have a great opening weekend and then they peter
out and will peter out. I don't know. I still
think this is gonna be, for the most part, more
talked about than Fantastic four, and I do think it's
gonna be a better move than Fantastic four. I definitely
think it will be a better mood than the Drastic
World and talked about. Who knows because maybe again people
just went I love talking about dinosaurs. But I think
that's really good tracking if I can try and find
let's see biggest opening weekends post COVID. Let's see if
I can come on Google. Don't share me now, Okay, Reddit,
thank you very much. This is from nine months ago. Okay,
so this is the top. I think something could be wrong,
but anyways, these are the top twelve. Taco Maverick one
twenty six, The Batman says one thirty four, so I
thought that was wrong. But Avatar one thirty four, Love
and Thunder one forty four, Draft World Dominion one forty five,
Super Mario Bros. One forty six, Inside Out one fifty four,
Barbie at one safety two, Black Panther one eighty one,
and then Strange at one eighty seven, Deple Wolvering at
two eleven, and then Inspire Man Knowing Home at two sixty.
And that is always the funny thing right where we
talk about and we'll get to them doom and gloom
of oh Marvel and Disney, Like I've heard that before.
It's like, oh man, if this isn't hit for them,
they're in make trouble. I don't think that. I think
it just shows that, Hey, it's what I've been saying
for fucking years. Fantastic four is not a draw, and
I think that. Okay, So let's say because like I said,
what is that the top four out of five or
Marvel films, you know, and then they got another one
with the Lemon Thunder in the top ten, Like that's
pretty considering, Like multiple brands are down or not making
money or having issues, right, so everybody, So when you're
in that scope of hey, the biggest openings of COVID
top five, you got four of the top slots. That's
pretty good. Of course you want me doing better. I
get it. Right, they've had lots of bumps in the road.
But that's why for me, I don't necessarily to me
that the Fantastic four is a turning point. But the
biggest indicator is Venders, which I think Avengers Doomsday clears
a billion easy. I think I even get to the
two billion. I think I'm more in the run of
like a one point five. I think if it's as
good as an Infinity War or even an Endgame, then
I'm actually in the two point billion camp. I don't
think any of them will be because Endgame nearly got
to three right Endgame box Office and I totally misspuilled
Endgame awesome. Let's say two yeah, two point seven, nine
to nine billion, So let's just say two point eight.
I don't think either of them would do that. My
thing would be, I would say, because Secret Wars were
just assuming he has those returning stars, right, So that's
why I feel like that clear is an easy two billion.
To me, my trajectory is like Doomsday. Let's just say
like on the base of it, they're just fine, like
they're seven to at tens. Doomsday's a one point five,
and then Secret Wars is a two billion. If they're better.
I could see Doomsday being a two, and I could
see Secret Wars being a two point five, but I
don't think they'll get up to endgame. Even two point
five seems like a lot like I'd be more saying
like two twenty five or something like that. Right, So,
but if you look at that, let's say, on the
high even in the low on let's say the low
end of this tracking is right one point fifty, that
would put it at the seventh biggest opening, just under
Inside Out to Barbie Black Panther, Duct Chraine, Deadpool, Rennoing
Home pretty great as Inside Out too, Poplar Pixar sequel
Barbie won the biggest brands world and then a bunch
of Poplar Marvel characters. Right, And that's where to get
to Fantastic four, where I agree to an extent when
I do say it is pivotal moment because it's supposed
to be leading, it is a big franchise. I think
there's just two types of pivotal moments. To me, I
think it's pivotal as far as what they can make
going forward, even more so, or just even if they
have another big brand winner, because same thing one twenty five,
one thirty five. That's a pretty good opening week. And
let's look at that with the Marvels. Let's see more
MCU biggest opening weekends. Take a look. Don't feel me Google,
last time he helped me out franchise. Let's see, can
we get the opening perfect endgame number at one fifty
seven or three fifty seven? Just fucking nuts. So it's like,
that's it. That's such a weird window. There's a window
of like Captain America Civil War at one seventy nine
and then the next one at thirteen, inspire Me at
ninety two, such almost like one hundred thousand different, right,
but oh wait, no that's not it's not ranked. Hang on,
my bad. There, let's say opening. There we go. Now
it's right, that's better. Okay, so let's go the high
and for fantimes score to help him row right, let's
say it's those one thirty five get early tracking. This
could because they came out after saying oh best pre
sales day. This could be higher or could be lower.
Maybe I had those pre sales for day one, but
after be like, eh, I've seen the Superman stuff. I
want to go that. Let's see, So if it was one.
We're saying one thirty five, that would place it under
four Love and Thunder, so that would place it. Uh
what is that fucking box office moju? I did the sorting,
didn't change the number, So I gotta count myself one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, okay, fifteen,
and there has been don't put the reel of releases
in here, so fifteen out of thirty six has been
thirty six films and there's been fifteen, so it would
be above not above average, it'd be in the past halfway.
So actually I would say above. It's toughually what above averages?
I guess we'd have to get the average of that, right,
But what was that? Let's do some quick math here.
Let's say fifteen divided by thirty six is forty one,
so forty two percent, so it'd be in that top
forty two percentile there. Let's see. I'm trying to think
of anything else to use this page four. But yeah,
and then you know, not too bad, like I think again,
tough to go off like I think that for Fantastic
four In a time when the MCU's rocky top fifteen
sixteen opening. I think that's pretty good. It's again about
what happens after. Luckily, there's two signs you can say
this is that their last film. I mean people save
their money for it, or August comes up and people
go and see it over and over, or people have
paid all their money and they don't need to see
another superhero movie. Right, So for me, it's not the
be all end all. It's definitely a pivot point of
can they get fans back and can they make them
care about new big franchise like F four. But to me,
if this were to Bomber underperform, let's say it gets
the same amount, just like a little bit above Brave
New World, even five hundred something like that, right, I
wonder what they look at it as, like what's their
sequel rate? Right because even to me saying five hundred,
I would say, yeah, that's good, like give it another
chance to go a seql F four is no on
a big brand. People think that all the time because
the First Family have been around forever. Nah, Like I've
not met one fucker in real life that had the
Fantastic for as her favorite team or comic. Right, So
that's to me, it's like, I don't think that tracks.
I think that's like comic book you know, jargon for
fans like, oh yeah, I love these characters. Yeah, I'm
sure you do, of course, Like, but it doesn't just
because you love them, like I fucking loved the hobg album.
But it doesn't mean he should be get his own
spinoff movie it's gonna make a billion dollars. No, it
all depends on what the public likes. And also, at
least with all these other characters Spierman, X, Me and Blaye,
they got some good films to start off with. They
had very the first three Runner three bad met mediocre,
Like I said, Kyle said that, which like Kyle because
I think he's just out of practice. When I'm like,
get SMCU, it's different, like, oh I've seen those before
and they sucked. There will be people like that they
oh those fantastic war movies, Yeah, those suck. I don't
even know one of those. So I think it's just
to prove for this brand. As I've said, Avengers is
the That's the true point to me. If that's a
movie that does anything below a billion, which I don't
think it would because we have no way home, and
Deadpool will ring to prove us. But for some reason
it did blow a billion. That's where I'd say, officially, okay,
MS you big trouble. But I think both those are
like easy a billion and we'll see. But I just
Jurassic World people love, and you know they starting to
pour out here. Listen to that. Oh that smells good.
We're on our last topic. Because good, I can feel
some wind pushing. I don't want the laptop to get
fucked up. Well, maybe this will be last topic. I
think we're good. But anyways, I think I'll speed through
the horror stuff. But last point is, I'm not surprised
by this tracking. Even if it's an old biggest pre
sales for twenty twenty five, Well then I'm so sure
Soupman's gonna cross that. You know, I just don't think
that has as much hype with the GA as the
other two do. I'm getting more and more excited for it.
But to me, this just makes use, especially once we've
seen everything right, because Superman could have had just like
a bunch of really bad trayers. Even if there's some
stuff I questioned him, I never thought anything was bad.
Think I had some bad showings and go, okay, so
Fantastic four their prime, and who knows, maybe get closer
and things swaped, maybe F four gets better reception. I
know there's test screens out there, but that doesn't matter
to me because I remember a test screening of BBS
and someone's saying it is better than The Dark Night,
It's just as good, and well, you know, I'd say
for myself it was a far cry from the Dark Knight.
So let's take our last ad break and yeah, we
should be able to get through this topic. Hopefully I
don't get stormed out. We'll be right back. And we're back.
So let's talk about two horror things here with Saw
and Robert agger is doing Christmas Carrol. This's what I
put in because I could put this in. These the guys,
they'll talk about a little bit, but for me, I don't
think they'll even attest that I'm a much bigger Christmas
Carol fan. This is a weird thing to say, because
I don't have a rankings of the top greatest fictional
stories or pieces of art ever. Of course I gout
movies and games, but just like overall, I've not done that.
But if I do, or ever do, Christmas Carol will
be in that list. It could even be number one.
I fucking love a Christmas Carol. Amily gets annoying me
every Christmas because I'll watch a b I have my
go tos that I always watch over and over. I
love them. Muppet one. I watch the original, which is not, well,
not the original, which is the Oh god, now I'm
sure I think it is the original. Right, let me
pull it up here, he's not. Let's see black and white.
I know it's that one. Let me see here, Christmas Carol.
There's so many here, nineteen fifty one. Let's see, it's
the one with what's his name? God, I don't think
that was his name alstairs, sim maybe it was. Give
me some images here, No, just video clips, you fucking bastard. Okay,
let's go nineteen fifty one Christmas Carol. And I'm not
seen as much as the other ones because it's yeah, no,
it is, Yes, it's that one. Yeah with astersim because
luckily this year it was on a streaming service, but
lots of times it's not. But try to watch that.
I'll take it back. I try to watch that one
every year, but that I would say, is the best
version still great, There's still like it's a lot more
scary than people give it credit for. Watch the Jim
Carrey one, watch the Muppet one. I like watching the
Mickey Mouse one. And there's still a bunch out there
I don't haven't seen. I like watching Spirited. That's like
a good play on that. I love Christmas Carol so much.
It's just to me perfect story of drama and love
and second chances and redemption and bitterness and depression and
all that stuff. And plus you get the guys of
horror and ghosts, and I love it. Hits on things
of like what if scenarios and you know, taking wrote
A or road B there's horror aspects and that has
the Christmas you know guys on it. The filter kids
would say nowadays, it's just a perfect that original story,
just perfect. And I love many adaptations. Of course there's
some shit ones out there, but I'm down for them all.
But Robert Agers sounds like he's making one with William Dafoe.
I was of two minds. As I talked about in
the discord, this was great news but also just like
ball crushing news because I we'll see what happens, right,
I really need to see because they said that he
was making Pan's Labyrinth, and I'm sure that would be
scared to have some horror elements, but I thought, oh,
that might be more family friendly. I don't think he'll
do that with the Christmas Carol. But that was me
and the guys. We've been talking about this for years
because I've always said that like, Okay, yeah, there's definitely
some like maybe straight to DVD. And don't get me wrong,
if we did anything, it's straight to v O D.
It's on our Patreon. I'm not saying, oh, we're big bridges,
but I'm saying there's a difference of like a type
of feel to that, right, and a Christmas Carol that
I've seen that have done field use it like horror stuff.
I feel like it's very cheap and schlocky, and it's
just like that's just the gimmick, but they don't really
use the essence of the story and the lesson and
the teachings that happens in there. So we've been doing
this for years and we actually I have the treatment
written and I have part just part parts of the
script because every time during Christmas, I want to write it,
and I did write a bit this year, but even
this year we are like, yep, that's one of our
right now, this sounds you're you always get some behind
the scenes footage for Tres told you right now, we
got a ten movie plan. I know people might pay.
That's fucking crazy. We're already on movie three and obviously
my twins that create some pauses. So movie three is
gonna take a lot longer. And it's good for us
to breaks because we can change up some stuff. I'd
love to get some different gear, et cetera. But it
just kind of helps us with like our planning what
we want to do and stuff, and we have it
all mapped down. There's some other things I have in
that map about I don't want to say right now
because if they don't come to fruition, like uh, like
this potential air. But one of these was I'm not
gonna say the title. I guess we ever used it,
but it was an adaptation on Christmas Carol because that
is in public domain, so easy to do, and it's
just something that has, you know, been like close to
my hurt my whole life, and I always want to
be like I wanted to give this a really good
once over, but it with the horror genre, like cause
that movie or that story has horrific things. And that's
why I actually liked the Jim Carrey one because it
really leans into some of those aspects. But then there's
some really goofy stuff in there. So yeah, that that
was crushing because not saying and here's the thing. My
our story was, you know, quite different, like here's a
minis Ebenezer Scrooge wasn't even the main character per se,
but it still was to use kind of like spirited
where to use certain aspects to tell it in a
different tale, a different era, but using you know, tying
all that stuff together. And for us, it's for me,
it's like, okay, I every Christmas I work on that,
that's gonna be one that I if this movie happens,
I'm gonna wait to see this. And then if it
doesn't happen, we may never do this again. I will
at some point do a version of Christmas Girl. At
one point we talked about doing for Geek first, but
then we kind of that transition into us making movies
and like, oh well we did this, and I would
very much like to make this movie because we have
I think a lot of good variations and just fun
spins on the ghosts and the lessons there and how
we get there and what they're kind of like, what
what their evolution is and what inspires them this time.
But we'll see, because like I said, this manages a
straight retelling who knows. I don't think it is. And
to me, that's where I'll take up my so like
I said, take it trying to put away my personal stuff,
which I was like, damn it, Like it is one
of those where it's the same thing. Like we filmed
the movie and it's it's fine, But there was a
movie that after we finished, well we've said it for love, right,
I can't remember what the movie is, and I think
now enough's come out that that's what happens where it's like, okay,
I think this is different, but I remember it's the
girl from Scream. She like the one that got fire,
Miss Melissa Breros or whatever she was in a movie
and the fucking log line or synopsis was like, oh,
that sounds very similar to something we just filmed. Like
I said, Luckily, it's different perspective. I think there's enough differences.
But I was like, oh, that sucks, right, It just
kind of feels like when you have a great idea, right,
And I was like, oh, that's why it's great, because
someone else has done it. So that's why I'm hoping
that whatever this film is, it's nothing kind of like
what we want to do, you know, and not that
it's you know, a big thing, because like if we're
so passionate, but that sometimes we're just feels like if
you have a good, you know, unique idea, or if
there's a spin off, right or a variation even a
Dranna Crowen's like, oh, that's a variation of a few things,
but then it still became our own. There wasn't anything
exactly like that. So we'll see. But on the end
of being a film fan, man, this is fucking let's
and let's say this. Let's say no matter why, oh
you know we're gonna you know, only make nine or
replaced with ten or I never became a filmmaker, take
up my uh my side, man, or like the filmmaker
side looking forward to this top level like this is
for also, I don't know the rest of the film
is a decade, but for what we kind of know
now it's say, up until twenty twenty eight, next to No.
One's Odyssey Robert Eggert's a Christmas Carol with womb full
of Scrooge. Holy fuck, this is like ultra level good
and to me, like he's done a lot of stuff
that has proven it, and not just because it's my
favorite of his, but to me, the way he handled
nos Ratu. I know it sounds weird, but that feels
like a pointed a point being a Christmas Care, like, oh,
he can do this very very well, whether it's that error,
whether it's the pacing the story, whether it is the
like if he can bring what he brought to Not's
Fraud to like the vampire to some of these ghosts,
my god, that is like and that's why wouldn't you
want to touch another like core Christmas Care Because this guy,
he's gonna fucking knock on the park like we could
never match that like that. This is gonna be I
hope it does happen because I want to see it.
If it doesn't, then makes us easier. But man, this
is like a almost feels too good to be true
for me because one of my favorite stories being adapted
by a director that I absolutely love and respect and
think it is just one of the best working Get
right now with the variation with one of my fair
actors of all time, with an aesthetic that I think
is just perfect to update this in that Christmas slot.
This is like, this has all makings to be something
very special. So on the Chelsea side very excited for
this movie, or the Chelsea side very excited for this movie,
and then finally talk them about things were very excited
for or a lack thereof Oh Saw. Let's end this
with Saw. So one interesting couple of years a where
they put out Jake Saw. I guess it was I
won't even count that they put out Circle. I think
they did like feed to Men of Fine to Men. Also,
I don't think it had the results that they wanted
because we didn't get more of Chris Rock and Circle
and that was left open, right, So it's like, okay, well
let's go back. Let's go back to you know where
it all started. Let's go back to till mel Shawney Smith.
Get Kevin Garrett in there, who directed the second best
Saw film, Oh Spiral, Thank you it is in case
it does a spiral Saw, Circle, Circle something else, but
thank you about its kind in the chair, appreciate it.
So spire offsly no matter what it was called, they
didn't make more of those. And then and then they
do Saw ten. They get lots of the crew back
ends on this very poetic ending, but it's like, well, no,
we're gonna do more. And I would love to hear
the trajectory of you know, they do Saw three D
because the franchise starting to go downhill and they try
things like Jake Saw in Spiral and it just doesn't
catch fire. They do Saw ten and finally it seems
like people are interested in that and that makes money.
And then they go, well, we're gonna make Saw eleven
and then things just fall apart. Now aw see, you know,
watch the studio. Things can fall apart a drop of
the dime. But you just kind of think like, oh, finally,
you guys are kind of winning the day. You've made
a little comeback with here, and you've found a good
niche of oh, we're gonna do prequels with tone Bell
before he kicks the bucket and Saw three rights. But
it's for like a ten twenty year old movie. You
should know why. Now that's usually the mean and how
they do so many He's dead. But anyways, if you
didn't sar go watch those. But how it gets from
MAKESAW ten one of the most successful ones we've done
for a while. We're making Saw eleven to Shaw, Saw
eleven shuts down to We're not making any more Saw
films too. We're now sold the rights. I don't think
it's sold, like it entirely owning them, but because they
I think they still say in partnership with Blumhouse. But
I think it's and this is like even a bad comparison.
It's like the way that how Marvel can make a
Spider Man film with the help of Sony, and even
then it's like it's a Sony movie, but Marvel pretty
much makes it. I don't think it even it's that.
I think it's just Blumhouse just kind of or sorry,
I think it's just Lion's Kate is kind of getting
a cut of the money. I could be wrong, but
that's what it sounds like, where it's just kind of like, yeah,
we've bought that, we've leased the rights, we're renting the
rights for a little bit. So I'm of a few
minds of this because that means, yeah, I saw eleven
tone Bell that's official dead. And it's tough because I've
always been like, hey, I've you know, some people like
this thinking. Some people don't say I am with Hugh Jackman.
They're great in the role. If they're alive and want
to do it. It's not a complete, just dog shit
story movie. That's let's make it happen. Totem Bells. Jigsaw's great,
He's a horror icon. That's a fantastic performance and a
very fun character. Uh and if it was it showed
in Saw ten having him back it actively makes movies better.
The less and less he was in a lot of
those sequels. That wasn't the main issue, but it definitely
you could feel it, right, So what was I gonna say?
It's going somewhere. But either way, so you lose him
and that that that can be a blow, but there's
probably time for like a rechange. Oh it's going for
a certain point there, damn it. But anyways, so it's
it's interesting because oh that's where I was going as
far as like I want it. So it's like, okay,
would I rather have you know, no Saw at all
or Saw eleven or Saw a bloodhouse. And that's all
like depends alsoe when I can Saw eleven and if
you say, hey, would you really have no Saw at all?
Or another Saw? I'm always down for another chance. I
supposed to run in some titles here, Saw Rewirth, Saw
twenty twenty seven, Saw Kill Science. Don't don't do that.
Don't do that. You might be right with We might
get just the Saw the same over again, like I
know what you did last summer again. It's just like
and it's not cold again. It's just the exact same title.
So you found something that worked right, You got tone
bill back tell some prequel stuff. But at the same time,
this is where I was going. You were in a
very very tight box. Those movies were always in a
tight box to begin with because they had a certain
time moment to play with. Where they were now is
even more so. And that's something where it's like they
do this twist right of like it's a trap, Like
it's a trap in Saw ten. There's a twist that
kind of reveals what the trap does, which was fine,
But to me, when you play Hell Zip and you
do the whole big reveal, that's all about the twists
and turns and who character was sneaking this and who
was doing that? Just doing how the trap actually like okay,
like now we're here for the lore, we're here for
the characters, here for the story. At least, I am right.
So it's like the Twist and the Trassic. That's fine,
but you could no longer do that with Saw because
you're stuck in this a little box. So I think
that's good. I think you do need to if you're
not doing like even that. If you're asked me, what
should you do eleven or reboot again? Two minds, because
I'd like to see Tom Bell back, But at the
same time, I think taking Topin Bell out of it,
let's say, okay, he's not coming back. We're just gonna
still use that universe, even though I still think they
could have done much much in many things with carry
Always and use Doctor Gordon, and they didn't. That was
a layup for them. When they're talking about how he
continues franchise, it was right fucking there. Don't understand it.
I digress. The franchise overall definitely needs a fresh coat
of paint. So oh, excuse me, Kim Blumhouse, do that.
That's my big concern. It's it's you know, it's a
fifty to fifty James want getting back. That's great for him.
Not sure he fell with the franchise because he directed
one and then he wrote two and three and then
he's just been an EP for the rest of them.
So he's getna paycheck. But I didn't know if it
was a situation where because some creators are like, yeah,
I made this thing and they took it off and
did their own thing and cool whatever. I don't fall up,
but I don't do a video and they don't really care.
Or there's people that like, oh, that's their baby, but
they just accept like, well, it's Hollywood. I gotta move forward.
I can't do anything about it. I'm not in a
position right And even to me, like some of the
interviews he gave about saw, I didn't tell any something now,
it just sounds like he was completely fine with like
where it was, letting it go. Like he didn't say, like, man,
i'd really like to like to me at times when
James Cameron talks about terminators, like oh, you can still
feel the love there, and he would like to be
like all in those rights right where it was James
Won and Saw. I never call that sounds I was
like a great like, oh, been there, done that, you know.
But now if it's the situation of Blumhouse gets in,
he's in control, and maybe it is just like hey
you did Saw, you know, take it, or it's a
case that hey, no, actually I really want this, which
is a cool full circle thing because that's what put
his career on the map, one of the biggest to
me independent movies ever as far as like getting a
buzz and word out there, and maybe it's part of
the tour, is like I fucking hated all these ones
that are doing and that he can be like the
Stewart to stop some of that stuff. That's great too,
you know, because he started with lew and l and
I'd like to see lew Andel like work with him again.
But that is the toughest thing where I guess I'll
get to Blumhouse in a second with a fresh coat
of paint. Easier said than done for Saw, like that
first one, the way it's paced, how it's revealed, you
can never do that again for someone that's seen Saw,
because you're always going to be If it is even
something similar to two guys in a bathroom and figuring
stuff out. The biggest moments, especially the big one. We
all know, it's very hard to recreate that or find
something similar to evoke that same emotion. And I think
that's why they haven't rebooted, because that's just like a
very tough thing to do, you know, Like that to me,
the first Saw is a independent horror movie capturing lightning
in a bottle, you know. And don't get me wrong,
the sequels were great, but it's like the monkeys out
of the bottle. You can't put it back in. You can't.
That's why it's like you had to do two and
three with Jigsaw and then the rest of them. Jigsaw
was always around with flashbacks and whatnot. Like, I just
don't think you can. You can't never say never, but
I don't think you can recreate some of the aspects
that made Saw a viral or big sensation in the
horror community, right. I think that's been a tough thing.
But James want has said it sounds like they would
be a reboot. I said, like, oh, if I ever
did someone Saw again, I have to be something very different.
And I look forward to that to see what it
could be. I love sawing them down to seas. That's
where you asked me, Oh what would I do? Like, Oh,
let's see it, because you know what, I've had bad
Saws before and I'm still saw a fan, you know,
so James wand good for him. That gives me some hope. Blumhouse,
I need to pull up what's going on? But says,
who can we get in the Saw movies? Who's done
other James want movies? Can we get Momoa's John Kramer?
I don't think we're getting Momoa's John Kramer. Their a
s bubs. I think because I think he's older now
they've worked together many times. They're not old or older,
but in a different sense. Let me see here, uh
fifty one. I think Patrick Wilson would do great as
far as doing his own take. I don't want someone
to come in. That's the other thing too. You can't
you if you're doing a jigsaw, you have to change
that character a bunch too. To me, that's like changing everything,
changing the origin so he's not sick, and the thing
with Jill and the kids changing like Adam and Gordon.
You can't reado that like it has to be top
level and even then to me, you have to they
miss their chance. To me, there are easy chances to
do doctor Gordon carry that on. They didn't. To me
now it's like this is not at all connected at
that now in the world, not a oh I knew
John Cray whatever has been completely fresh to get new
people aboard, right, which is tough. But Blumhouse, to me,
I'm trying to find their current filmography for the past
like five years. It's been very rocky there for me,
quality wise, not talking success wise, right, because Blumhouse and
Jason Blum, they do a great job of hate. We're
gonna make this for as cheap as we can, and
not in the sense of like, oh, cheap actors are
cheap whatever. Like I'm not saying they look to you,
but just like they their ideas. Let's make a movie
that has a budget that you know is respectable, but
you can't gaining a profit is much more easier than
a lot of other movies out there, right, you know,
a Superman Fantest for whatever. Let's keep it in a
ballpark where even if we just break even, we can
make money elsewhere. And that's what's smart thing to do.
Sony does have a lot of their movies too. Like,
that's what I'm saying from business standpoint, that is very
smart to do that. They can turn a profit easy
and move on to the next one. Right. I suppose
if it was a reboot or a remake, I'd have
it have to be similar, but then a different twist
than the original. Surprise. But that's I agree with you.
But that's the tough thing is everyone's expecting the twist.
It's like the tension's almost gone away because you're expecting
something and I agree on a similar thing. I think
what they need to do. The biggest thing is scale
down again. We don't need, you know, people hanging from
a roof and there being ten thousand fans. We don't
need the trap where the ladies turning like a pig oven.
They need to go back. I think like the Saw
one to three trusts, but really Saw one where she's like, hey,
we put this guy in a room barbed wire and
he had to get out and these slices aries. Sorry,
it didn't work. I think you need to desperately go
back to something like that. But with Blumhouse, it is
tough because I think it's it's interesting because they have
that formula and it's good into me. I was, much
like the way I am with A twenty four Neon,
big fans of them early on because I just like
you what they're doing, and I was enjoying a lot
of their movies were Now I don't know what's going
on there, because I don't want to say that, oh,
there's making movies just to try and quick term prof
of it on the next one. I don't think it's that,
but I will say there's enough film quality to make
it feel like that. And I think they had a
chance where they were the little studio that could right,
and they did. And then when they got Halloween, I
remember everybody, include myself, being very excited, like, wow, Plumbhouse,
They've done a lot of great things. So it's a
great thing of horror genres. We're gonna Halloween, We're gonna
Jammy Lee back Man, We're winning now right right, Not
so much Jason Blum, Slot Factory and see as I'm
not gonna go that far, but there is part of
that that feels like that, at least some films feel
like that. Wondering, don't be setting me up here. What
is your thoughts on Sean or Rook, fill me in
on the chat. I don't know who Sean Rook is.
Maybe I will want to buy my name. This is
a point star or something political. We'll see. We're gonna
late here. I'm already later than I should be. But
fill me in hunder Aggain, and then after I finished
this topic, I'll come back to the if it's a
real person or whatnot. That's how to me, it just
feels like of lesser quality. It feels like it is
just pumping out movies for the sake of well, this
is cheap and we can get out there. And that
might not be the situation. Maybe all these movies have
and I bet the filmmakers do, but I mean that
from a studio perspective. Maybe they're all looking at them
with tons of passion. For me, it's just because so
many have missed in a row. It doesn't feel like
that per se. It feels even then like look at
I'm not saying it's salt, but that's where like look
at the MCU right in phase five. In the end
of phase four. I'm not saying they're just push out,
but you could feel the quality go down because they're
just pushing stuff out for the sake of getting out
to fuel Disney plasts and to get box office receipts. Right,
So that's why I mean, like not even slot wise,
but let me look at like, and here's one, and
here's a good example. I can finally say and even
this here, right Drop. I think Drop was a very
you know, fun little movie. I think that's one that
does not feel like slop. I think it didn't meet
the potential I was hoping for it when I saw
the gimmick of it, and I don't think it was
It's not when i'd really rewatch again. But that was
something that I enjoyed. Wolfman made a lot of sense
because Wolfman was coming off in visible with a Man,
which is probably there's a time where us something like
like Blumhouse was putting out horror movies that were in
the top of horror movies or even top of the
movies of the year, like a Visible Man made best
goal in geeks like a nominee. Right, I don't know
last time Blumhouse has done that, but so let's see
so this year, so I'll count Drop that that's good,
like good enough, right. I don't think that slop good performances.
I'm really like Meghan Fay is doing. We'll see, but
let's continue these women in the art. I've not seen this,
so I can't be having an opinion. All I've heard
is really really bad things. Okay, so the ones I
haven't seen, I will go that route. Wolfman again, Here's
where two the twenty five is different for me. I
enjoyed Wolfman actually quite a bit I liked to take.
But that to me, you might say all the trust
is hypocritical. Well, then I'm a hypocritic. I guess that
for me is more Lee one l than it is Blomhouse.
But even then, they did division right, they help them
get the money, and they fund it, they produced it,
so I'll still come as a win. Right, Let's see
Speak No Evil. Yeah, it's fine, Like people know, I
got issues with those movies because I just there's just
some stuff afraid. What was afraid? Was that that AI one? Yeah,
so again I haven't seen that. But not good things imaginary,
not good Night Swim, not good five nights of Freddy's
not good. Even the point where Jason Blum this week
was like, yeah, he tried to be nice, but I
was like, yeah, we understand people's critiques, so this go around,
we really want to try and to help and fix
some of those. That's like, yeah, you need to say
it wasn't great. EXA's is believer. I didn't hate like
other people did, but I wouldn't call it great. But
I thought it was. It was fine, it was passable.
Was totally killer Oh not a fan of totally kill her? Not? No, No,
the passenger haven't seen that one? Okay, see us red
door Nope, not good, sick, same thing that has its defenders.
I did not enjoy that. I very disappointed me. Megan.
Another disappointing one for me. The visitor. What was the visitor?
I don't think I ever saw that one. No, I
did not. Vin Jones is in that. Look at that.
Let's see and then Hallo and they them had a
good good That's here's another thing. Bluemhouse movies have a
very good pitch, but the the follow up not there.
We'll talk about Halloween a second. The black phone, I
don't think that's slow. That's just one that didn't connect
with me. Dash Camp. I'll put them in the good category
because that suffs always tells me good things. About that
house in the bio. I've never seen that paranormal activity.
Do not seeing these Bengo hell Home Boy, this is
the Night. The Purge movies is kind of went downhill.
Just trying to find the next one freaky. I really enjoyed.
That was good, Like I had a fun time with that.
I'm trying to find one that I loved. Though last
time I could say, hey, I loved and I think
it was that. Yeah, in Visible Man twenty twenty. That's
been the only thing of this decade that I've enjoyed,
which is kind of crazy, the like not enjoyed, but
like would put in a love category, Asba says, And
Missileman was probably the one, the highest gross thing that
you're gonna say released in early twenty twenty. Yeah, I
think it was. I think it was top ten. That's
your like Bad Boy one or run out right. But yeah,
that's the thing for me where I do have some concern.
But my hope is the same way with Wolf Man
or Invisible Man, that because James Wand's there, he'll kind
of shepherd it. But I also wonder if that's just
like a good play to be like, hey, we got
James wand original creator. He could be hands on or
he could just like, see a script here, pitch yeah,
that sounds good, and go off to make kiss stuff,
which she's fine to do. I'm not gonna hold him like,
I'm not gonna say, well, the next well has to
be good because you said James Wan's like, no, definitely,
we'll like in the future again. But that is a
knock being like, hey, you said he was there, but
that doesn't That didn't help us with the callity of it.
So we'll see. I think it's just too because also
they have a lot of original ones. Let's see their
upcoming film. We got another in Cities film. Uh soul
me and May and tu Wich are in the same
universe Black Film two, which I did love that trailer.
So I have, oh, oh, dash game I've never seen. Uh.
The one I like is Spree Okay, there, I take
that up back bub so dash Cam don't know, but
they this is where Blomhouse has a chance to win
me back. I'm not saying Five Nights of Freddy Megan
two looks like it could be a lot of fun,
and I'll give that a chance. Could look like it's
a like very meme worthy cringe wise, but it'd also
be lots of fun. Black Phone two absolutely love that
trailer on the idea, so that could get me five
nights of Freddy. I'm not checking out all Soulmate that's
in that universe of Megan, and it's pretty much that
Black Mere episode will our Piggy at Well has a
husband played by donal Gleson. He dies and they get
like a robot to replace him. But I'm down for
a movie version of that. And then Lee Cronan doing
the Mummy. That's a big the guy who Dead Evil
Dead Rise, Yeah, that's a big win. So they have
a chance and now a saw because to me, it's
just that when they had a chance to to me evolve, right,
they were the little like because let me try to look,
before they got Halloween, where's the first Halloween? So twenty eighteen,
so before then, like the Purge was when they're franchises,
but they were doing stuff like truth their Dare and
were creep Those are good happy deaf day. I'm making
defender of those really split that split and then that's
the thing get out, like that's where I remember the
run there on where they did split and then Get
Out and evens on the Purge and Hush Mike Flannage's
hush on Netflix. Like they had some really good movies early,
and of course there's some crap in there too, like
Sinister Sinister's phenomenal, you know. So that's where for me though,
they had these lower budget original ips that were popping off,
and then they got Halloween. And don't get me wrong,
I think financially it did this, but I think all
of us as a studio were kind of like, wow,
you know, the little engine that could making these horror
movies that are lower budgets. There they got their hands
on the big one. Let's see what they can do.
I thought Halloween was fine, and then the sequels had
even more issues. And I think most people, even if
you cause I know aspects you're holing to three Defender,
I think most people would say that trilogy as a whole,
not time one film specifically as a whole is not
looked upon fondly. It looks like they kind of stumbled it, right, so,
which is not a great thing. So that's where it's like,
you have some big ip at the Mummy and Saw
coming up. This to me is kind of like a
redo and to me, if like Megan, I'm not so
concerned about but if the Mummy and Saw and there's
another one in there, I read where it's like this
is all kind of letdowns. It kind of knows. I
think we kind of know where Blumhouse is as far
as like a studio and what they're gonna be doing
for the rest of life. And that's fine. It's still
business after all, right, and that's great, and I appreciate that.
I guarantee there's tons of young filmmakers or your filmmakers
getting shots and that other places wouldn't get them shots,
so that's great. I'm just looking at this like an
analytical level and just as a fan of like Okay,
lately not things I like, but maybe by the time
we get to Saw there will be That's everything. I
will answer these questions. I was gonna say I Spobs.
I was gonna say Exorcist Believers and David Gordon Green
Director's Jail, But apparently he released a hula movie ben
Still last year that I never heard of. If it's
the movie I'm thinking of, I think it's the movie
where he has he's adopted like his sister's kids or
something that extress that exorcist believer poster is fucking terrifying, though,
David Gordon Green, let's see film aography. Can I find it?
The Nutcrackers? Yeah, he did do that. Another one that
I think it's like Rod and Round of Males. I
really enjoy that. I like that. The movie is like
if you like heartwarming stuff, I think it it works
good if you like Ben Still any kind of plays
that kind of you know, pretentious asshole. It's about it's
about I can't remember if it's both. I think it's
both where it's like his sister and her husband dialing
in a car accident or something, and they had like
my situation, like five kids in like a big farm,
and for me, it's this heartwarming thing of him trying
to he didn't feel like he's good enough to raise
these kids, so he's trying to find a family to
raise them and take them in. To me, I thought
it had a lot of heart in it and it
was a good, like little moment for him to do
something different the director. But that didn't go good for him,
So I don't know what's next. I think those Halloween
movies extualist and then Nutcrackers, which I don't think is
I like it, but I think Ianizone didn't like it.
It's not reprehensibly bad, but it feels like, oh, that's
a bunch of bad movies in a row. You're out.
I don't know, all right, Hunter, you didn't fill me in,
So now I'm curious. Sean o'rooke, there not be some porns.
Start giving me a bunch of you know whatever, let's
see Irish journalist. Okay, I don't know. I think this
is a topic that doesn't that I would need a
lot more. Looks like there's something to do with a crime. Hunter,
you set me up for whatever I did not want, Like,
look at this first thing I find Judge Moule's fate
of police offered charge and fatal on duty shooting. Like
that's exactly like, don't set me up or something. I
have no opinion because I have no I have no
idea who that person is and no idea what the
situation is. So not the show. I'm sure there's somebody
out there that does that, but not the show. Here,
I just talk about stupid shit, like not stupid shit,
but just you know, break from the real world, like
Superman and other people in tights and Saw and Christmas
Carol and why I'm bitter, you know, but I can't
wait for Christmas Carol. Thank you everyone for tuning in
this episode. Cross We didn't storm out, made it. There's
a whole storm rain everything promising. Ever the next not
be boring.
