First off, we 38 00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:37.000 have an email from Dylan D'Antonio titled Smallville question. Hey, guys, 39 00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:39.919 thank you for all your great work interviews. If they 40 00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:42.719 ever get that Smallville sequel animated series off the ground, 41 00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:45.520 what direction would you want it to take? Would you 42 00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:47.840 want it to follow the comics, bring in villains the 43 00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:51.039 show didn't do like Hank Kinshaw, Maybe develop the Justice League, 44 00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:54.560 bring back Lana, stick to daily Planet Shenanigans. Either way, 45 00:02:54.599 --> 00:02:57.080 I hope it happens. Thank you, Dylan, Well, Dylan. As 46 00:02:57.159 --> 00:02:59.280 exciting as it would be to get Small Veil the 47 00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:02.479 animated series, if I had to bet one hundred dollars 48 00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:04.479 on it, I would put all one hundred dollars on 49 00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:08.840 it not happening, unfortunately, one hundred dollars because I remember, 50 00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:11.680 you know, Lance and I read Awesome con twenty eighteen, Yes, 51 00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:14.280 where they like kind of first floated that idea. Was 52 00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:16.199 Tom's first convention. We went to watching DC. It was 53 00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:20.000 a great time and they floated this idea. I'm like, oh, 54 00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:21.919 that makes a lot of sense because Rosenbaum's a voice 55 00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:24.360 actor and he's like championing for all these things right now. 56 00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:30.800 And and that was that was seven years ago. There 57 00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:33.240 has been actual conversations about this. It's not just like 58 00:03:33.240 --> 00:03:35.479 a fun idea they reference every time. And then they 59 00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:38.400 want to get Al Goff and Miles Millar involved, their 60 00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:41.319 creators of the show of Smallville. They want to get 61 00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:43.840 all the cast back. They've talked a lot of the 62 00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:46.039 cast and they'd be all happy and willing to do it, 63 00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:49.199 but I mean voice acting, right, So it's a lot less. 64 00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:55.039 Phone and records, so it's all good. Yeah, no limitations there. 65 00:03:55.199 --> 00:03:56.800 Well, I mean Tom's not going to put on the 66 00:03:56.840 --> 00:03:58.319 cost to him, Michael's not going to shave his head. 67 00:03:58.599 --> 00:04:01.080 If you ever want to see them quote Unque's characters 68 00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:03.159 again and anime, it shows a great way to go right. 69 00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:06.120 So what I would want to do is I would 70 00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:08.280 set it in between you know, the last scene of 71 00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:10.080 the finale and the flash forward at the end of 72 00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:12.960 the finale, so you see, you see all the stuff 73 00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:14.639 in between, kind of we know where they end up 74 00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:16.480 seven years in the future. So you could do seven 75 00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:19.240 seasons if you wanted ten episodes each. These days, they 76 00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:22.480 never would because nothing can last past like thirty episodes 77 00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:25.199 and two seasons. It's such a shame. I would explore 78 00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:27.439 Lex trying to get his memories back, you know, him 79 00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:28.639 trying to piece his life back. To the other thing 80 00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:30.759 that's a really fascinating component. A key thing for me 81 00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:32.279 is on they want to get John Glover involved, and 82 00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:37.240 obviously Lionel's dead, oh yeah, spoiler's neck, and I think 83 00:04:37.319 --> 00:04:40.399 they should have Lionel kind of be the manifestation of 84 00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:44.000 Lex's memories that got erased. Season in the mirror, the 85 00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:47.360 way Harry Osbourne sees Norman Osborne's and that's a great 86 00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:51.040 way to incorporate John Glover exactly. I mean, just do it. 87 00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:55.240 They wrote Spider Man two, Alan Miles wrote Spider Man too, 88 00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:57.399 so that that's what I would like to see. And 89 00:04:57.439 --> 00:05:00.000 then obviously you have the only planet stuff you can bring. 90 00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:03.800 I mean, do not just make small molest Season eleven 91 00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:07.879 in animation for him, like just that's its own thing. 92 00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:12.399 But do some Superman stuff. Bring in Batman at some point. 93 00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:14.879 It's inevitable, Yes, right, it's inevitable. They do that wonderful one. 94 00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:16.120 It is inevitable. And I know they did that in 95 00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:18.040 the comics, but I would just ignore the comics. It's 96 00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:19.800 a fun thing they did on the side, but it's 97 00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:22.040 not canon. That's what I want to see. Bring yeah, 98 00:05:22.079 --> 00:05:24.959 bring back lawa like wrap that up properly, right, So 99 00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:27.480 do that kind of stuff. I guess you really could 100 00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:30.839 use Jimmyilsen because he's not old enough. He's just a kid. 101 00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:33.399 And if we're starting where I want to start it right, 102 00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:36.480 a Neto tool, Michael McKean, who get a husband wife 103 00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:38.480 discount and bring them in. You gotta have Michael McKean. 104 00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:39.519 They can get them on the phone. 105 00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:42.240 That's true. Like that's the thing. Like the the Michael 106 00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:44.199 mckan's voice actor too. Yeah, he did the Joker in 107 00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:46.639 the Legend of the Dark Night episode, for example. So 108 00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:50.959 we love this. It would be a great continuation of 109 00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:53.560 the show, the only way they really can continue it now. 110 00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:57.000 And oh my god, what do we do about Chloe? Well, 111 00:05:57.079 --> 00:05:58.680 you actually you can use the phone, y'all. 112 00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:00.720 She's been able to use a phone this whole time. 113 00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:03.279 The thing about Chloe is you either don't eat her 114 00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:06.319 in the show because they're her and Oliver Queen are 115 00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:08.160 off in Star City, right, because you don't not gonna 116 00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:10.279 Justin Hartley is too busy to be doing this right now, right, 117 00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:17.360 so calling Steven, No, you just don't have the minute. 118 00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:18.959 And if you do have to have the minute, you 119 00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:22.399 get Kristen Bell. Let's Chloe problem, solve next problem. Right, 120 00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:25.639 It's it's it's that simple. The hook, the the overarching 121 00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:27.839 story would be lecturing his memories back. Yeah, and then 122 00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:30.199 the episodic stuff would be the you know, villains of 123 00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:31.560 the Week and that sort of thing. So that's what 124 00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:33.360 I'm thinking, that's what I want to see. 125 00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:35.079 Have you thought about that? A lot or is that 126 00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:35.720 all on spot? 127 00:06:35.959 --> 00:06:39.839 I think about it every day. Nick. Oh, but you 128 00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:42.879 bring back characters like Mattallo or z Atana, like you 129 00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:45.639 know for for guest stars, Like I really would want 130 00:06:45.639 --> 00:06:48.319 to get the actress back, but not as essential, you know. 131 00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:50.279 So that's what I'm thinking. 132 00:06:51.519 --> 00:06:53.639 You do a fun phantom his own thing, have z 133 00:06:53.639 --> 00:06:56.279 A come back. You're the finest investigator. 134 00:06:55.720 --> 00:06:59.839 All right, you just want to do this? Do have 135 00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:02.079 him show up is odd? And like have him fight Superman? 136 00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:04.319 Like that's the time. Finally gold the Superman stories never 137 00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:08.759 got to do right and and then the possibilities are 138 00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:12.319 endless because there's no constraints for like budget and stuff, 139 00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:14.600 because you can draw anything. So just come out of it. 140 00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:18.000 I would only ask that, did you do you know what? 141 00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:19.560 Do you would think ten episodes of season? 142 00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:19.959 Sure? 143 00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:23.720 But okay ten episodes of season? What one season a year? Please? 144 00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:27.040 Just like here's ten episodes and guess what we'll be 145 00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:29.519 back in three years with ten more? Like what has 146 00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:31.079 happened to animation these days? Yeah? 147 00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:34.240 Some have like realized the mistake and are just like, yeah, 148 00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:36.680 we're not gonna do that anymore. So shout out to 149 00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:39.720 Invincible for realizing that and delivering the goods. 150 00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:43.639 Well, it's unfortunate because James Gunn and Micro Rosemon and friends, 151 00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:48.120 and James Gunn is ahead of DC. I mean, like 152 00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:49.879 you would think he would do his boy a solid 153 00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:51.199 and give him a small bull show. 154 00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:52.360 You would think you would do a lot of things 155 00:07:52.360 --> 00:07:52.959 as the head of DC. 156 00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:55.240 That's you know what. You know what, Guys, you think 157 00:07:55.240 --> 00:07:57.759 I'm negative about James Gunn, all will be forgiven if 158 00:07:57.800 --> 00:07:59.759 he greenly at the Small Mill Animated series. Show would 159 00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:02.160 be a lot more positive about James Gunn. I would 160 00:08:02.160 --> 00:08:04.079 be happy to see him popping up every time I 161 00:08:04.160 --> 00:08:05.600 turn around like we are now. 162 00:08:06.120 --> 00:08:09.199 If James gun delivers like any Milestone character, I will 163 00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:11.800 start drinking all the kool aid.

Next, we have an email from 192 00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:39.000 Alana bearing the title is new Listener Old Crow. Hey all, 193 00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:41.159 I found your podcast a while back when I watched 194 00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:44.240 Smallwool with my brother he's seven years older, while visiting him, 195 00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:46.679 visiting him for a week. He was in season nine 196 00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:49.600 or ten, uh whatever. Season started with Lois coming Back 197 00:09:49.600 --> 00:09:52.000 from the future. Question mark, question mark, question mark. I 198 00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:56.759 stopped watching somewhere after Alexana many years back. I'm about 199 00:09:56.840 --> 00:09:59.240 to turn forty next month. So when I say many 200 00:09:59.320 --> 00:10:02.600 years back, I mean back when that season was actually airing. 201 00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:03.279 Yep. 202 00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:07.320 Stopped watching after that nightmare, but decided my head back 203 00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:10.320 in two seasons later, and freaking Lana was there again, 204 00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:13.200 so I came up and never went back until now. 205 00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:16.279 I still remember when I first heard about Smallville. I 206 00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:18.720 was in college, still visiting my old comic book store 207 00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:22.240 for new releases, and I saw it. A single page 208 00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:24.519 ad A boy in a cornfield and s Paydon on 209 00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:27.639 his chest, glon Kryptonie hanging from his neck, and I knew. 210 00:10:27.679 --> 00:10:29.840 I knew before I read the title Young kal El. 211 00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:32.559 I literally said that out loud. Yes, I call him 212 00:10:32.559 --> 00:10:35.399 by his Kryptonian name. Whenever possible, I would. I have 213 00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:38.080 loved Superman since I saw the first film with Christopher Reeve, 214 00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:42.039 probably when I was three. Heck, most likely in utero. 215 00:10:42.399 --> 00:10:44.919 I could hear it. Okay, I grew up with Christopher 216 00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:48.279 as my Superman, but as Clark not so much, because, 217 00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:50.240 as you said, all the movies always sped through his 218 00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:53.559 childhood in teen years and then just skipped his entirely 219 00:10:53.679 --> 00:10:57.440 his early adulthood. Boom. He's thirty, so Smallville became a 220 00:10:57.480 --> 00:10:59.600 true love of mine for many years. So when my brother, 221 00:10:59.639 --> 00:11:02.879 who lived in Vermont, offered me gummies and to watch Smallville, 222 00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:05.519 I didn't quite realize what I was getting myself into. 223 00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:07.759 When I went to bed that night, I had season 224 00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:11.000 one playing on my laptop. Seriously, though, imagine being on 225 00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:13.559 gummies and watching the scenes between Clark and Lex through 226 00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:16.679 fifteen plus years of life, and whispering to yourself in 227 00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:19.480 the middle of Vermont night. It has to be delivered, right, 228 00:11:19.879 --> 00:11:23.399 They know what they're doing. It's just not weed subtext. 229 00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:23.639 Right. 230 00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:27.600 Still here, I am somewhere in season three of my rewatch, 231 00:11:27.639 --> 00:11:29.559 and I found your podcast, and I'm on season one 232 00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:33.240 of that so new fan.

Hi always Wanda Smallville. 296 00:14:32.679 --> 00:14:34.679 Did you ever notice every time Clark tells someone about 297 00:14:34.679 --> 00:14:37.200 his extra vision, they close or cover their chest, But 298 00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:39.519 he always assures them that he never do that because 299 00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:41.799 he has to focus. But he never tells Lana because 300 00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:43.440 he actually did X ray here in the locker room. 301 00:14:44.039 --> 00:14:48.720 Just a funny observation. True, well maybe once, yep, as 302 00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:53.000 my boy. Yeah, I like that because, look, he couldn't 303 00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:55.919 control it. He's fifteen years old. He's going with the 304 00:14:55.919 --> 00:14:58.720 flow for once. And uh, that's back when they were 305 00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:02.720 doing see through vision and vision was because yeah, it's 306 00:15:02.759 --> 00:15:05.240 like ooh a skeleton. Check out that femur. It's hot 307 00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:09.519 like that. Anyway, I do like the X ray X 308 00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:11.440 ray vision though. That's the right way. It's called X 309 00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:14.799 ray vision. So Smallville has been the best version of that, 310 00:15:15.200 --> 00:15:16.600 best version of a lot of the powers, but by 311 00:15:16.679 --> 00:15:18.480 far the best version of the X ray vision. So 312 00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:19.080 thanks Jake. 313 00:15:21.840 --> 00:15:23.799 All right, next, we have an email for Maurice. 314 00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:24.840 What's up Maurice? 315 00:15:25.279 --> 00:15:29.519 Email titled major Mad props Zach, Lance and Big Nick.

Listen to 318 00:15:36.879 --> 00:15:37.200 the email. 319 00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:40.799 Yes, I'm not sure when the next mail bag would be, 320 00:15:40.879 --> 00:15:43.039 but I wanted to give you guys huge props on 321 00:15:43.159 --> 00:15:45.919 the Always Hold On To network of podcasts. You guys 322 00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:48.879 created something, and as busy as your schedules are, I'm 323 00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:51.720 glad these podcasts exist. I hope you all continue to 324 00:15:51.799 --> 00:15:54.799 keep these podcasts going. On another note, I was extremely 325 00:15:54.879 --> 00:15:57.759 harsh on Felicity on one of the previous emails I wrote. 326 00:15:58.759 --> 00:16:02.120 I wrote that email a not remembering what happened after 327 00:16:02.200 --> 00:16:04.840 season three on Arrow and B before I started listening 328 00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:07.639 to Lance and Kev's podcast. After listening to you guys 329 00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:10.840 read my email, I really went plus Ultra ko Ken 330 00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:18.840 times twenty on hers, so that's successfive. I didn't realize 331 00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:21.360 how bad that sounded, and after listening to the Always 332 00:16:21.399 --> 00:16:24.200 Held an Arrow podcast. It took some time, but Felicity 333 00:16:24.240 --> 00:16:27.039 did redeem herself. My bad. She did redeem herself a 334 00:16:27.080 --> 00:16:30.279 little bit. She has her moments. On a further note, 335 00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:33.879 James Gunn mentioned a while back that he wants DCTV, SLASH, 336 00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:36.159 streaming games, and movies to all be connected in the 337 00:16:36.200 --> 00:16:38.720 same universe. I'm not sure if he changed his mind 338 00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:40.519 about that, but do you think he's going to go 339 00:16:40.679 --> 00:16:43.320 through with that? That would mean having the Batman and 340 00:16:43.440 --> 00:16:45.639 Batman Brave in the Bold in the same universe. What 341 00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:47.879 are your thoughts about what he should do with TV, 342 00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:50.360 streaming games and movies. Keep up the good work and 343 00:16:50.399 --> 00:16:51.039 stay super Bro. 344 00:16:51.559 --> 00:16:56.080 Maurice, Well, thank you, Maurice. I think that you know, 345 00:16:56.159 --> 00:16:59.360 there's a strength to having the ability to do different 346 00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:02.159 things in different meatiams mm hm. Like have they had 347 00:17:02.200 --> 00:17:04.119 this rule back when The Dark Knight Triliger just coming out? 348 00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:07.960 You never would have gotten Batman Arkham Asylum for Arkham City, Like, 349 00:17:08.039 --> 00:17:12.599 think about that. Yeah, that's nuts, Why would you do that? So, Like, 350 00:17:13.000 --> 00:17:16.880 I think it's cool to have the different if you're 351 00:17:16.880 --> 00:17:19.880 gonna do different multiverses, which is great. Do that so 352 00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:22.599 you could have I don't know, small building animated series 353 00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:25.559 over here, yes, and then you could have the flash 354 00:17:25.720 --> 00:17:28.359 video game over here, and you can you know that 355 00:17:28.440 --> 00:17:29.759 sort of thing you could build out a you could 356 00:17:29.759 --> 00:17:31.160 build out a multiverse of video games. 357 00:17:31.200 --> 00:17:33.160 I thought we hated the multiverse. I thought we were 358 00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:35.039 tired of the multiverse. I thought we should never do 359 00:17:35.079 --> 00:17:35.920 the multiverse again. 360 00:17:36.119 --> 00:17:42.079 I mean, if you're Marvel, so, look, it's used too 361 00:17:42.119 --> 00:17:44.119 much as a story. Crush is what people are giddy god, 362 00:17:44.160 --> 00:17:48.319 and I do agree, I mean not really, but well 363 00:17:48.599 --> 00:17:50.160 you tell me that now, wait till you see repertend 364 00:17:50.160 --> 00:17:51.400 engineers doctor do me? 365 00:17:53.160 --> 00:17:53.200 So? 366 00:17:53.559 --> 00:17:56.640 I still never mind. I was, I was just gonna say, 367 00:17:56.640 --> 00:17:58.160 I still think that's a red herring. I don't think 368 00:17:58.160 --> 00:17:59.839 he's actually gonna be doctor Dahom find out. It'll be 369 00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:02.480 twenty minutes of him, and then we find out who 370 00:18:02.519 --> 00:18:03.480 the real doctor dum is. 371 00:18:03.759 --> 00:18:06.720 Wow, we'll see. I think you're seeing that that problem 372 00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:08.599 with Marvel right now, honestly, where it's like there's so 373 00:18:08.680 --> 00:18:10.880 many shows and so many movies, like people, do you 374 00:18:10.920 --> 00:18:11.960 feel like you feel it. 375 00:18:11.960 --> 00:18:12.559 Too much homework? 376 00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:12.759 Man? 377 00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:14.839 Yeah, I don't have time to do my homework. Man, 378 00:18:15.279 --> 00:18:16.200 it's not all my students. 379 00:18:17.799 --> 00:18:20.920 Look, look, what you enjoy should never be felt like 380 00:18:20.960 --> 00:18:23.079 a chore, all right, But it's the same reason I 381 00:18:23.119 --> 00:18:24.799 fell behind on the air. Rose answer, there's too much. 382 00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:26.519 So I understand what people are saying. 383 00:18:27.119 --> 00:18:31.000 But here's the thing. We people people make time for 384 00:18:31.440 --> 00:18:35.319 other things that are very similar and have have similar prerequisites, 385 00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:40.759 and so it's I think it's disingenuous to pile on 386 00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:43.279 one thing when every other thing does it. I've said 387 00:18:43.319 --> 00:18:45.200 that about lots of things a lot of times, and 388 00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:47.599 that's that's my main issue. You talk about like, you know, 389 00:18:47.680 --> 00:18:49.440 like he's like, oh, they're using other story crutches. Like 390 00:18:49.839 --> 00:18:52.160 everything has a crutch in their story that they hold 391 00:18:52.200 --> 00:18:55.359 on to. So again, like we like, we don't blame 392 00:18:55.960 --> 00:18:59.279 other things for using their crutches right to help lift 393 00:18:59.279 --> 00:19:00.839 them up and lift up their products and lift up 394 00:19:00.839 --> 00:19:01.480 their storytelling. 395 00:19:01.720 --> 00:19:04.359 You do watch every Chicago Universe show. You're not the 396 00:19:04.400 --> 00:19:11.440 person though, What are YouTube short some of those enough 397 00:19:11.839 --> 00:19:15.160 of the YouTube shorts they spent all dinner talking to 398 00:19:15.240 --> 00:19:17.720 Nick about he's watched the entire series of The Rookie 399 00:19:17.799 --> 00:19:19.039 on YouTube shorts. 400 00:19:20.279 --> 00:19:22.880 All right, good lord, well, I might end up watching 401 00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:23.920
