going to get into our first question Patreon question here.
This one comes from the guy in the chair s
Bubs Taylor. Are you responsible for the attack on Travis? Also,
how do you feel about driving him into retirement.
Speaker 2: From geek verse? Well, I had a lawyer draft me
up something.
Speaker 1: It's it's something I can say legally on air. Everyone
is blaming me for the attack and Travis retiring, but
I had nothing.
Speaker 2: To do the attack.
Speaker 3: Apparently, apparently, is there anyone who's blamed you for the attack?
Speaker 1: I think one person specifically, But okay, he got he
got concussed, so we can't really rely on on.
Speaker 2: His his information.
Speaker 1: I have been actively trying to speak with Travis about
this matter and he won't respond. Also, whoever is posing
his pan solo, I'm gonna find out and clear my name.
Apparently people are calling out that I was pan solo.
Speaker 2: I don't know that many we're talking about.
Speaker 1: It sounds like the most lawyer written up thing you've
ever read.
Speaker 3: Off like that.
Speaker 4: This guy, I assure you, that's a lawyer. Yeah, say this,
say this on the So.
Speaker 5: There you go.
Speaker 2: I suppose there's your answer.
Speaker 3: Uh, we have straight from the heart.
Speaker 1: Our second question, and this is kind of like, uh,
direct to date myself and you, Kirkland from Mike, are
the Beekeeper boys returning to review a working Man? And
what are your thoughts on the trailer? Wow, it's funny.
I did not even watch that.
Speaker 2: I didn't. I didn't either. I didn't either, So we
can I'm sorry, Mike, we can skip.
Speaker 6: To be fair, it wasn't in my show notes to
prepare for the show. But to answer question Mike, I
am there if taylor Field's there, I might not. I
might even be there without taylor Field. Honestly, I am
so in. I had such a good time the first
Beekeeper both review and movie going experience. I went with
my father and one of my my dad's just work buddies,
and they just they had a hell of a time.
Dyn't you know your your dad experience in Indiana? Jones
how he's just audible. That was like my dad and
his buddy. So I was just there with with two
old dudes that were just you know, not old dudes.
I apologize, father, you're probably listening to this, but uh,
just I had a good theater going experience and Statham,
you know, my dad's gonna be there. He he loves Statham,
so I think it's gonna be a great theater going experience.
Speaker 3: And I want.
Speaker 6: The same level of just ridiculousness. How I had no
idea where we were gonna be by the end of Beekeeper,
and it was just a wild ride. I want the
exact same thing for this next stath In film, because
I feel like if you try to make it too serious,
it just ends up being like very generic and bland
like Like I like it when a filmmaker knows what
they're doing, they know the ingredients that they have to
work with, and they know how to just make it
enjoyable for the for the viewer.
Speaker 3: And uh yeah, no, I'm there. I'm there, Taylor. What
about you?
Speaker 2: Oh I'm there.
Speaker 3: Yes, you know.
Speaker 2: I remember my dad.
Speaker 1: He'd rent movies when I go over and you'd be
watching movies like Crank.
Speaker 2: And The Mechanic and what was the other one?
Speaker 1: No, not the was it the transporter He's driving the car?
That was like a trilogy becaus just he does these
kind of movies. He does so many of these films,
and I'm there for it. I really really am excited
to see what kind of zany and this is in
this movie. I'll never forget just the beekeeper. That's one
of my I should nominate that for Golden Geeks, that
scene because it's just it's rent free in my head.
Speaker 2: It's so powerful where.
Speaker 1: The guys like in the conference room with all the
scammers talking and like they're all like praise, like oh
we did this, yeah, yeah, yeah, and then everyone's clapping.
Speaker 2: State them in the ground there too, clapping. Fuck, that's funny.
Holy shit, I got to rewatch that movie.
Speaker 1: Actually, that was Actually it's just dropping his random bee
facts that are completely irrelevant, Like my god, you know,
the work of bees will smoke out the Queen Bee
weird ship.
Speaker 2: That's such shit underrated movie.
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely, there perfect, there you go, like, are you
gonna be there?
Speaker 3: I'm curious. Let us know, No, he don't, he's there.
Speaker 2: H So let us get into our main.
Speaker 1: I just had a brain freeze right there. I had
like four different words trying to come out at once.
I was merging like hunch, hunk of hunkah and hirch.
Speaker 3: And it's just hirch. That's not even a word. I know.
It was getting that that's one of the four words.
Oh so you gotta hurt.
Speaker 1: The Batman delay causes more DCU speculation. Now, Matt Reeves
didn't say no in a recent interview, so.
Speaker 7: My lawyer, My lawyer wrote this up.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, God.
Speaker 3: Didn't say no to what?
Speaker 1: Just no context, just so everybody knows Matt re shouldn't
say no. Rewind So the Batman was delayed again. It
is pushed back even further. It's very very bad.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 5: Now talk about that while I figure out the other
half of this note, because I.
Speaker 3: I think that's in reference to asking Reeves if this
is now part of the.
Speaker 1: DCU, Yes, thank you, you saved Usdillan, you brought us
back to.
Speaker 3: That is just a wild guess on my apartment. I
can only assume something like that. It sucks that this
movie keeps getting delayed. When did they come out again,
like twenty twenty one or something crazy like that. I
want to say, nineteen twenty nineteen, I want to say,
but definitely not. Twenty nineteen is.
Speaker 2: During COVID for sure. It's twenty twenty, twenty twenty two.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's twenty twenty two.
Speaker 1: We're all wrong.
Speaker 3: They need to get this movie out. Yeah, I'm I
all this delay stuff. You know, he's part of it.
I've seen is that like maybe Matt Reeves has some
like personal shit going on. So if that's the case,
you know, of course, no bad on anyone. Like take
your time, dude, get make sure you're good and your
family's good, and then make this movie. But yeah, the
more it gets delayed and the more like James Gunn
like gets his grimy little mits in there, as Kirkland
likes to say, and like changes this thing and makes
it a big DCU thing and like puts Superman in there,
like the less and less I'm excited. And you know,
I'm not like a super duper fan for this stuff.
I haven't even seen the Penguin yet of Cold, But yeah,
I really like the Batman. I liked it what it was,
and I liked that it was gonna be in its
own little realm. And it kind of seems like less
and less that that might be the case, which is
disappointing for me, and I think in general it's just
not a good idea. Who knows how this James gun
stuff's gonna go. Superman could bomb and James Gunna could
be out again, Like that's how easy this stuff can happen,
or how quick this stuff can happen. So I'd prefer
if he just leaves Matt Reeves alone and lets him
make this movie. He did great the first time. He's
has a really great track record with all those recent projects,
So I really hope this stuff doesn't end up being
true and like Matt Reeds just does his Batman and
stuff that's in his own little realm. Yes, you already
have a spin off with like Penguin and stuff, but
I think the more you like intermingle that with other
DC used over other Superman and other characters, the more
mess here it's gonna getting less interested. I'm gonna be
personally because I'm probably not gonna be someone who watches
all this stuff. And I don't want it. I don't
want to do all this homework. I just want to
go see these movies. I'm already like slightly salty that
Penguin exis. I know it's great, but like I just
I don't want to invest all that time. I just
want to go and see these movies. So that's that's
my perspective on it. I hope it's I hope all
this is just like Smoke and it's not actually a fire,
and we just actually get the Batman in like soon
ish time, and it's just the Batman too, and there's
no funny business. That's that's my hope. I'm crossing the Yeah.
Speaker 6: No, I personally don't want to overcomplicate, like the whole
situation with The Batman three things so long to get
the sequel for it. I love the first film, and
I love the Penguin, and I like this world that
they just have right now, you know, in this universe
without all the extra stuff that comes with h the
other dc universe in here, like watching Creature Commandos in
here right now, and I'm I'm not needing any stuff
from that in the Batman.
Speaker 3: I'm not saying they can't have.
Speaker 6: A good crossover inclusion with the James Gun stuff going forward,
but I personally just like, yeah, no, just have it
completely separate. It's not even I don't think it takes
away from the quality of any of the DCU stuff
going forward if this is just a part of it,
like they very much can just be in their own category.
Speaker 3: So I hope that is the case.
Speaker 1: And in terms of the delay, like, yeah, it sucks
as as someone that just wants it now, you know,
it's it sucks that I had to wait so long
for GTA six, but here we are. I'm just waiting
for it, so I'll do what I have to to
to wait. Hopefully it just it just works out and
we get a solid script of I don't know why
I got. I got a whiff of Taylor's brain farted
and moved over my square.
Speaker 3: Now I got the hurts. You got hurt.
Speaker 6: But no, I'm I'm hoping it's nothing like concerning maybe
from a delay of like it really just wasn't going
well of whatever they had to work with.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I I I'm not.
Speaker 6: I'm not gonna say I I'm I'm hoping it's like
a personal thing that's why we're delaying. But I just
hope it's it's nothing too crazy or concerning. But uh yeah,
because I just I just want it.
Speaker 1: And yeah, I really really do want this movie. I
think it's just it's a shame that is being delayed.
But of course there things pop up and you got
to get your ducks in a row before you tackle
something like this to follow up such a great film,
and they, I mean, they definitely did it with the
TV show that is a.
Speaker 2: Worthy successor it's absolutely fantastic.
Speaker 1: And again there's inklings and discussions of season two for
the Penguin, which at this point, who knows if they
could not come up before the Batman Part two. I mean,
I have no idea, it would be crazy. But yeah,
hopefully we just get a real good project for the
Batman two and whether or not it actually is in
the DCU, I believe Mattter, you've said it, just it
has to make sense. I think I'm pair of probably
paraphrasing a little bit, but is narratively speaking, I think
that that it's a totally reasonable thing to say.
Speaker 2: If they want to pile that into everything.
Speaker 1: Else going on on with the Corn Sweat, Superman and
all the other all the other fun projects they got
going on, Like we're talking about later Supergirl. But what
do you guys think about this Batman potentially being in
the DCU if they decide to do it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I uh, like, we already have another Batman, right,
we got the Brave and the Boulder one, so like,
why do we need two.
Speaker 1: So they can fight and then one of them takes
the persona of the other ones.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. I think I'm less, I'm less.
I think I'm less bothered if if Pattison swoops over
into those realms. Yeah, and like you know, it doesn't
really affect the Batman stuff, like it kind of just
let the Batman trilogy can live on and we just
he can go over there and fight. I guess for
a little bit, I think I'm less bothered by some
of that stuff if that's the case, rather than the
other way around. But I don't know, I don't think
we that kind of thing, right, we got another Batman.
We're good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, kind I kind of touched upon this when
I was saying earlier I'd prefer it not to cross over.
Speaker 3: Honestly.
Speaker 6: I just feel like there's too many factors that can
maybe diminish something from from the Batman. I feel like
I never really thought like sequels of things could really
affect what's come beforehand. But then you know, Joker two
came out, and now I totally feel different. I'm worried
about certain things getting sequels of to diminish what the
first movie was, and I think that first movie is
perfect in my eyes, and I don't want to incorporate
like a whole mass universe of Now I'm gonna be
rewatching that first movie and thinking about something that's out
there that I don't know, like a like a threat
that hasn't come yet because it was in a it
wasn't even in the script, like like when they when
they made that initial idea for what it was. So
I think when we eventually get another Batman, I want
it to be a new casting, even though I love Pattinson. Yeah, No,
I just want to keep him here in his own
I don't want the Van diagram to cross over. I
want him to be in his own little circle.
Speaker 3: It's a good circle.
Speaker 2: Uh, brilliant, so brilliant.
Speaker 1: Now there is, as I mentioned before, the Supergirl situation, here,
we have a person that has already been a seasoned
veteran in the DCEU.
Speaker 3: Who could it be?
Speaker 2: Who could it be? Yeah, Henry Cavill not coming back.
Speaker 1: Jason Momoa joins the DCU as Lobo and super Girl. Now,
I think we were talking about this many many newscasts
ago about Lobo and Jason Momoa and whatnot, But it
looks like it's finally come to fruition here.
Speaker 7: So what do you guys think about this.
Speaker 1: Uh jujine just by like comic book versions of that character,
I'm like, looks like Momoa. Yeah, that's a good casting.
Speaker 3: I'm not too.
Speaker 6: Bothered about the idea of it being like a like
a former DC actor playing another different role.
Speaker 3: That really doesn't bother me that much.
Speaker 6: It's nothing new, like like we've had that in the past,
even in the MCU like characters play different roles.
Speaker 1: I like, I feel like, where have I gone with Mama?
I feel like I went from loving him to just
being maybe a little bit tired of him having like
the same type of persona when he when he plays characters.
I think he's like a big personality and he brings
that to his roles. And there's nothing really bad about that.
It's just when I see similar type of roles, maybe
I just get bored with that certain appearance. But I
don't know, judging by just some of the like source
material I'm that I'm seeing from just different images that
I'm seeing online, Like, it looks like a pretty creepy,
interesting character, and I would love to see Momoa play,
you know, a more villainous type role hit that that
realm because I don't think I really seen him play
a bad guy since like Giam of Thrones, but even then,
I wouldn't say kel Drog is necessarily a bad guy.
Speaker 6: He's just scary at times. But uh yeah, no, I
like this Lobo pick.
Speaker 7: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I like the castine, I like the decision. I like
it all. Yeah, I uh, I think yeah. In terms
of what you're saying there, of are we bothered by
Momoa coming back and getting another different role here? I
don't think I cared that much. I feel like the
start of this DC universe is already very messy, as
we just talked about, like all the Pattison stuff. So
to me, it's like, okay, yeah, it's already super messy. Sure,
why not bring this guy back. Some people might be confused,
but like, overall, he's gonna be like some clearly fun
different character than we saw with Aquaman, So I don't
think anyone's gonna be too bothered by it as far
as the character goes. I've never heard of him before then,
like when we had those discussions a few months ago,
but man, I was just look at his little Wikipedia
right up here. Some interesting stuff here. So team affiliations,
one of them is the Church of the Triple Fish God,
So I want to know what that's about. I hope
that makes it into the movie. As far as abilities,
he's pretty classics of superhuman superhuman strength or generation of course,
classic immortality and vulnerabilities. This guy just can't die, expert
marksmen and then formerly cloning, which I think, like that's
funny because that's like the one more unique thing on
the list. But it's like, oh no, not anymore. And
I love some of his notable aliases. You have the
main man that's just simple and effective. You have the
bow like lowbo is already one of the shortest things,
and when you say the boat, it's like an additional syllable.
That's stupid, Master frag love that that's what you know.
They call me back in the called four Days we
got and then we got some classics here, Scourge of
the Cosmos, the Lord of Death, and then we have
both mister Machete and Machete Man. So I don't know
what's going on with this character, but honestly, from the
quick read up here, I'm intrigued by this character. So
just does not seem to fit in with what Supergirl.
What I understand that to be but I don't know,
maybe that movie's gonna be freaky and weird and funnier
than I'm expecting. So I'm kind of into this after
reading into this character a little bit. As far as
the Momo part, yeah, sure, look at the picture here,
I could see him pulling that look off without with
just some some paint, maybe a little makeup, and he's
good to go. So sure, why not.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've aside from being told this on the podcast,
I've never heard of this character before, never seen him,
but he to me feels like a mutant from X
Men ninety seven, like a bad guy that just pops
in on one of the episodes.
Speaker 3: He's got a little mister Sinister energy to him, a
little bit cloning.
Speaker 2: I mean that's.
Speaker 1: Formally for formally, he's beyond that.
Speaker 3: Guys, come on, he's better.
Speaker 2: But yeah, just how I feel about this.
Speaker 1: I I feel weird about the fact that they've like
Peacekeeper and uh like Suicide Squad pull elements from the DCEU,
but technically that they've just transitioned into the DCU and
everything else that's happened is just not really cannon. I
guess it's just I guess it makes sense, because you
can kind of pull and pick apart certain things. But
I was just it's it's weird. It's not the kind
of reset that I would have imagined.
Speaker 2: But that's just me. That's that's not.
Speaker 1: That's not a massive problem, and most people are just
gonna do fine. I think the general audience is gonna
go in and be They're not gonna think, oh, that's
Aquaman and the Supergirl movie. No one's gonna be saying that.
I think most of them are like, oh, Jason Momoa,
uh Like. I don't think a lot of people have
gone back and rewatched those Aquaman movies. I know I
have not seen the first one more than once outside
of theaters, and the second one i've not. I've not
rewatched them at all, actually, and although they're very, very
bad movies, they definitely shine at certain times, but.
Speaker 2: They're just not for me.
Speaker 1: So seeing him transition into this role, I'm okay with that.
I can handle it, but I just think that the
whole transition of everything is still a little bit kind
of murky for me.
Speaker 2: But that's just my own perspective on it. I think
that the character like.
Speaker 1: This is super zany, and I think it fits with
James guns gunnisms for what he's trying to do, and
I think how this character interacts with Supergirl could be
a lot of fun. And ultimately I'm just curious to
see where this story kind of fits in with everything
else that's going on, because you have Superman that feels
like a very it's very serious and probably a very
gut wrenching film with little hints of comedy in there.
But to get a character like this and to Supergirl,
I feel like they're trying to do something a little
bit more comedic and lighthearted. But I don't think Supergirl
is going to be as serious and tonal as what
Superman is.
Speaker 2: That's that's just yeah, my interpretation.
Speaker 1: Excited to see is on screen chemistry with Sean Gunn
because you know he's going to be a role somewhere.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, maybe Weasel will pop in there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, a new character, right, new character? I would
hope so, and give me some more points.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a that's the golden pick in this era.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you drafted him, didn't you.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, don't don't drop him, Jesus, never never
dropping a gold star pick for the rest of well
until James Gunn gets booted from Warner Brooks if they
if they sell the company or something.
Speaker 3: Day after we draft.
Speaker 6: Yeah, James Gun's as well as Sewn gun removed from
all roles he was.
Speaker 3: It's only one of my ten. I'm good to go cool.
Speaker 2: I think else you guys want to add to the DS.
Speaker 3: Hey, Okay, we're.
Speaker 1: Gonna take our first outbreak and we're gonna get back
into the nitty gritty. So we'll be right back and
we are back. So our next topic takes us to
our special Bond, James Bond.
Speaker 2: You might say, it.
Speaker 1: Seems like there's a little bit of a trouble in
the Bond household, a little bit of.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna say that, actually domestic fighting going on
or something in hell.
Speaker 3: Okay, you pretty much just said it again, which is
the case.
Speaker 1: There's definitely some stuff going down here, and it seems
like just the new Double oh seven is kind of
in peril is the word that's being used. So basically,
I've got the information here that I'm just gonna kind
of like.
Speaker 2: Just slap down on you guys.
Speaker 1: So, nearly three years after Amazon acquired the right to
release Bond movies through its six point five billion purchase
of the Metro Goldwyn Mayor studio, the relationship between the
family that oversees the French and the e commerce giant
has all but collapsed. The decaying partnership has scuttled any
near term hope of a new Bond film, a black
eye for Amazon's ambitions in Hollywood, since, at the time
of the MGM sale, the Bond franchise represented a significant
share of the six point five billion that the company
paid for the studio. Now, when it comes to Bond's future,
the power lies in the hands of Barbara Broccoli, who
inherited your last name is Broccoli, who inherited the control
from her father, Albert Cubby Broccoli, and who for thirty years,
has decided when a new Bond movie can go into production.
She's told friends she doesn't trust algorithm centric Amazon with
a character.
Speaker 3: Oh what it is, let's go broccoly.
Speaker 1: Character she helped to mythologize through big screen storytelling and
gut instinct. This fall, she characterized the status of a
new movie in dire terms, no script, no story, and
no new Bond. To friends, Broccoli is characterized her thoughts
on Amazon this way, and I quote these people are
fucking idiots quote. A representative for Eon, the production from
behind the Bond film, said Broccoli and other members of
the family had no comment. The two sides are at
an impasse, and Amazon needs Broccoli to furnish them with
ideas for a new Bond movie, but Broccoli doesn't want
to make a new Bond movie with Amazon. The standoffs,
say people on both sides of the divide, boils down
to a clash between the twentieth century Hollywood of big
screens and big swings, and a new entertainment industry ruled
by Silicon Valley firms that prize data, algorithms and streaming subscriptions.
This story is based on interviews with more than twenty
people familiar with the Broccoli Amazon feud, including executives, business partners,
and friends. The Broccolis families control James Bond has few
comparisons in contemporary Hollywood, where they've already turned down like
TV shows and video games, and at least one tie
in casino turned.
Speaker 3: On IOI THO were to make a James Bond game. No.
Speaker 1: For much of her career, Broccoli has made those calls
with her stepbrother, Uh, what's his name.
Speaker 3: His name is cauliflower, Mike Wilson, Common.
Speaker 2: Bond, that character, he's a family heirloom.
Speaker 1: You said a lot of words from here, Taylor. I
feel like I'm grasping some of it.
Speaker 6: So Amazon purchased six point five billion dollars from MGM four.
Speaker 1: They didn't purchase six five billion dollars. Sorry, they spend
six point five billion dollars. You lost me early on
then for what the filming.
Speaker 2: Rights of the studio that basically.
Speaker 1: Own or was like handling James Bond. They bought that
Metro Golden Studio and that was okay, the James Bond
I have the rights and stuff, but they can't make
anything because the people that have you know, James Bond
is their family air liber they're not giving them.
Speaker 3: They need to approve that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they're not happy with with just Amazon as a.
Speaker 2: Whole, the Falcons, the.
Speaker 3: Whatever.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I mean like in one hand, like I I respect them,
like really trying to protect like what James Bond is,
like the more genuine.
Speaker 3: Version of it.
Speaker 1: Like they don't want to just dilute it in a
certain way, which I think could very much happen when
when something big purchases something. I feel like we've seen
that sometimes with Disney and Star Wars. I mean, and
like not to say like it's only been bad from
Disney purchasing Star Wars and not to discount the potential
greatness that could come out of, you know, them being
a little bit more open opening their borders to the
legs of Amazon when it comes to Bond trading their broccolis.
But I don't know, well, I it's it's also tough
because like I don't know everything that was suggest like
I was said, I don't know if they were like
complete assholes towards them, Like I don't know all the
details beyond kind of you know, the seventy percent that
I grasped from what you were laying out to me there.
But uh, it's it's a spicy situation. I feel like
I'm also like No Time to Die that came out.
It's going to be a couple of years now, but
it still feels so recent. I think because it was
just such a big journey with the Craig films that
personally I'm not really like itching for.
Speaker 3: Another Bond film.
Speaker 6: I guess just knowing I have another mission impossible on
the on the Rise like that that's going to be
scratching that itch, I guess, And yeah, I don't.
Speaker 7: I don't know.
Speaker 6: So on on one hand, I feel like at the
end of this, without a lot of context and knowing
fully what's going on behind the scenes, I feel like
I'm siding more with the Broccolis with this, with this
one over the ice creams. But uh, yeah, I probably
missed a lot of other things you said, but you
guys on something else.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's uh, it's kind of funny to me because
what you're talking about there of like them wanting to
protect from just like diluting the property by just making
sufse like it's been like twenty something James Bond movies,
Like I feel like they just let it ride, like
they just let it roll and raking in that broccoli money.
Like I don't know, like are they do they really care?
Speaker 6: Maybe quality of it or maybe all of those versions
of them making or all the people making those movies
were just really like open to everything that the Broccolis
were suggesting, and they just were hitting all those boxes
where maybe Amazon is like, yeah, no, we're not gonna
do that, We're gonna do our own thing. And then
that could be like a straight up like maybe maybe
they're just getting older.
Speaker 1: And angrier in their old age. I don't know much
about the broccoli fan.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess my read on it is more that
like maybe they just see it as like, oh, now
that Amazon owns this, we can strong arm them because
they have so much money, and we can get a
ton of money out of this. Right, It's like, I
don't know, do they really care about the quality of
these things. I feel like there's really ups and downs
with Bond. I don't know how precious they really are
with it, but just seems like a weird hill to
die after we've had so many movies already. But I'm
also in the same boat as you, kirkha where I'm
not a big Bond guy, but a you mean, I've
seen a handful of the movies, don't really none of
them are really like my favorites by any means. But like, yeah,
I feel like I'm down if we just wait five
at least five years, ten years before we get a
new one, take some time, let the property breathe a bit.
We're gonna get that game from IOI. I don't know
if we're gonna get anything else. I guess if they're
probably not allowing TV shows or anything like that, as
the article mentioned, so, but there's nothing wrong with that
to just let something, let something live, let something die,
let people stew on that for a while and come
back later. There's tons of other movies in that genre.
So I don't know. I guess I'm not. I don't
really care one way the other what happens here, But yeah,
I don't know. The whole thing does seem like maybe
a ploy to just try and get a little bit
more money. I mean, I don't I'd be interesting to hear,
like because it sounds like Amazon acquired not just Bond, right,
they acquired MGM, which that was like a subsidiary of it,
And I wonder what Amazon was what they had their
sights on when they made that purchase, was Bond A
big part of that? Was it half of why they
wanted to buy it was like almost all of it.
I'd have to go through and look at the properties
other things that they acquired with that acquisition. But yeah,
I guess it's kind of lame if they like spent
all that money with the intention of getting bonded. But
like they probably also would have known that there's like
the there's broccoli gate going on here, and they got
to go through that if they want to make these movies.
So but also like I have no sympathy for Amazon
as a company, So like, you know, if that if
they just lost bunch money, who cares. That's fine to me.
I'm sure they make it back in seventeen seconds with
with their website there. So uh, yeah, this all feels
like a bunch. This feels like a high school drama
or something like all these people's you know, having these
little fights over meaningless little things.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's at the end of the day. I feel
like it just it does come down to money, but
I mean the Broccolis, it feels like, Okay, it's a
little bit more than that.
Speaker 2: It's a legacy to their family with this character.
Speaker 1: And you know, you're you're starting a you're starting something new.
And I feel like, Okay, all of these James Bond movies,
I'm not very well affiliated with them, but I feel
like it's all one continued narrative over the past like
half a century, like these movies have been coming out.
I feel like, of course it's been different actors portraying
this character. But I feel like it's all just been
one consistent, like ongoing narrative, right Like the James Bond
that we have here is the same one that's gone
through all these adventures to like thirty years ago. But
what we're seeing right now is, Okay, Amazon wants to
put their stamp on it, to put their mark on it,
and do a.
Speaker 2: New story, new James Bond actor.
Speaker 1: All of that's just start fresh. And I don't know
that probably puts a lot of pressure on them because
it's it's putting them into a corner and it's not
necessarily giving them probably a lot as not as much
as creative freedom as they really really want or were
hoping for. And it doesn't sound like they necessarily had
to say in Amazon buying the Metro Goldwin and just
kind of taking those rights, it sounds like, okay, that
was just that happened and they just had to run
with it. I remember at the time, I think people
were pretty happy about it when Amazon bought them in
they we're just going to get a little bit more,
because I think that was probably coming off when I
can't remember what the last James Bond movie is titled,
No Time to die.
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, so that.
Speaker 1: One was kind of you know, the end of this
this era with Daniel Craig. But yeah, it's it's unfortunate
that they're they're kind of hitting an impass here and
they're not able to come to an agreement and pump
something else out. But the only time will tell, you know,
they got to just come to a resolution, come to
an agreement, calm down, and stop calling each other fucking idiots.
Speaker 2: So yeah, anything.
Speaker 1: Else on the almost a James Gun dispute, James Bond dispute.
Speaker 3: Mullo, ohllos.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, our next topic uh takes us over to
Christopher Nolan.
Speaker 2: So yeah, we like him, we like him. Uh say
that again, you.
Speaker 3: Can say that again.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: So Nolan has a new movie in the works is
you know, this is a good Ship, Good Ship, and
it's basically bringing in Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Robert Pattison,
Zendaya and Hathaway, Lupita nu Wongo like it's.
Speaker 2: It's a whole roster. God damn, it's hill.
Speaker 1: It's it's crazy, it's absolutely crazy, and it's a It's
scheduled for release twenty twenty six July until you.
Speaker 3: Do it, Matt Reeves. You see that every two years,
I want to see a movie on my doorstep. Do it?
Unless he has family issues right now, which if that's
the case, I recind my statement. And so.
Speaker 1: The movie is an adaptation of Homer's Odyssey and will
be filmed around the world using a new Imax technology.
And for those who are unsure, Odyssey is a major
ancient Greek epic that attributes to Homer. It is one
of the oldest works of literature. Follows the Greek hero Odyssus,
king of the Ataca, and his journey home after the
Trojan War. Hell, yeah, I love your I don't. I
don't even know if there's a right or wrong way
to say those names. But you just said it a
complete different way.
Speaker 6: None of those I've ever heard in my life. Odysseus
is what I've been is what I've been told. He
was named in the How did you say it?
Speaker 3: The Itica? I thought it was.
Speaker 1: I thought I thought it was spelt completely different.
Speaker 3: I T H A C A.
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, there you go, it was different.
Speaker 6: Anyways, I don't know much about the Odyssey, but I
sure know much about Christopher Nolan because we did an
entire retro about his films, and if you check that out,
I fucking love this guy. I love all the films
that that he's done. You know, some more than others,
for sure, But I could easily say there's a handful.
Like if I had to make a top ten my
favorite movies of all time, I think at least.
Speaker 3: Two or three top ten.
Speaker 1: Audible mention, I'll say that got to start somewhere.
Speaker 6: But no, I just everything you said about this is
just so juicy and exciting. The most enticing thing I
think is just the date. Knowing that that this is
gonna be coming out. I feel like Christopher Nolan and
his dates, that's something that like you can kind of
count on, and I feel like with dates he's he's
usually really adamant on on like like sticking to it,
and yeah, he doesn't really care what's coming out around
that time because that's his date. And I'm you know,
I think Patreon Clay asked, you know what movie we
might be thinking would pair up with him on that date.
Speaker 1: But he's gonna be standing strong with his power cast.
Speaker 6: I love all the names that you listened on here
and just picturing those characters in a world like this
of like just ancient Greeks, Like gosh, I'm just I'm
juiced up right now.
Speaker 1: I'm really looking forward to this. I was, I was,
I don't know.
Speaker 6: I didn't have a lot of hype for like Oppenheimer,
just other than it's Christian Christopher Nolan.
Speaker 3: Christian Christian Nolan, Christopher Nolan.
Speaker 6: And just like again like the cast and like, okay, yeah,
this is gonna be like a drama around blah blah blah, Like.
Speaker 3: I I didn't.
Speaker 7: Maybe I didn't get as much pizzaz as.
Speaker 6: I wanted out of that film, even though it's really
well made, and I'm expecting this one to be extremely
well made and just look gorgeous, you know, like you
just James Cameron is the three D guy. I feel
like Christopher Nolan just like the IMAX guy. He just
he just makes these these massive, big, big theater movies.
And I'm so jealous of you know, dealing your closer
to Imax than we are over here and uh in
the interior so I love to live oh wow.
Speaker 3: Okay there not even taking advantage of it.
Speaker 6: I I've only seen like science science y type IMAX movies.
Really like penguins and like whales and stuff like that
that you get at Science World.
Speaker 3: I've never been privileged.
Speaker 1: To seeing a nice uh a nice big, big movie yet.
Speaker 3: But like the Apes.
Speaker 1: Apes, right, I did in imax. No, that was mad Maxperio,
and then yeah, yeah that was fucking sweet. And then
I Drastic World Dominion in imax as well.
Speaker 6: Nice, lesser but still less true, true is still good.
So I feel like, yeah, you know, we'll we'll see,
we'll see. Schedule wise, I'm not gonna promise I'm gonna
make the trip down to Vancouver, you know, to watch
this in IMAX. But I would sure love to be
able to see one of these films in imax because
they're just such epic adventures. And whether I like the
story or not, I feel like it's just such a
magical time watching his movies. And yeah, no I'm I'm
thumbs up for me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I I'll start with my it's not even negative,
but like slight detractors like the premise of this, the story.
I mean, I don't really know anything about so maybe
it's a fantastic story, but it's not something I'm immediately loving.
It's not really my cup of tea, I guess, and
I also think I was. We've talked about this a
lot with Nolan how he kind of like he kind
of has his little phases or I'll go back and forth.
So he had like oppenheim Er, the historical one, and
then he like Tenant, the weird sci fi spy sort
of movie. Then we had like Dunkirk before that, right,
so going back to like a historical thing. Then before
that we had Intertellar with sci fi, and then even
before that, like you, he was obviously working on the
Dark Knight trilogy, but even in between those movies he
would splice it up, so they had like you know,
Batman begins, but then Prestige Dark Knight and then Inception
and then Dark Knight Rises. So I kind of like
that he goes back and forth, and I feel like
a little bit Oppenheimer and Odyssey is like, I don't know,
we're dipping back into history stuff two times in a row.
Not the end of the world. So I guess I'm
just like I was hoping for, especially after Tenant was
a bit of a disappointment for me, Like I was
kind of hoping for another sci fi, weird spy thing
from Nolan and get another shot at it because Inception
is definitely one of my favorite movies of all time,
but easily my favorite Nolan thing. So anyway, that's just
my minor a little detractor, but otherwise I'm totally down
to goal and this this odyssey, this journey with him
and see why he wants to do this and see
what it's all about. It's funny we were talking about
how like he was like praise Gladiator too, that was
like his favorite movie from last year. It's like, I
wonder why he's like a similar setting all that sort
of thing. He's obviously in that mindset right now. And
then as for this cast, this cast is fantastic and
I always like to see with with the director like Nolan.
I love getting some people that he's worked with before
and seen how he uses that utilizes them differently than
also seeing some new people. So you know, Matt Damon, Pattison,
and Hathaway have been in some previous movies of his,
and especially with Pattison, I think I'm excited to see
another take on that just once again because Tenant, I
really I need to rewatch that movie. I do need
to watch it again with a modern Eye and see
how I feel about it, But definitely excited to see
Pattison again and then lupido, that's fantastic. I'm so excited
to see her in there. How do you guys feel
about like Tom Hollan Sende in here? So obviously they're
they're a couple. I assume they still are. Of course,
from are they married? Well there you go get they're engaged.
Oh so sorry they are getting married. Cheers with a
little bureau to that. Cheers with them still.
Speaker 6: Waiting for my Canadian barrows. Come on, bring them to
Canada and I'll do a taste to But.
Speaker 3: Obviously, yeah, they're in the Spider Man stuff together. I
don't know if I like. I guess I'm intrigued to
see them in something together that's very different than that
and see what the dynamic is like. And even I
don't know, maybe they don't even have scenes together. I
think it'd be a missed opportunity if they don't. But
at the same time, I think I might be overthinking
it when I'm watching this historical Greek movie and then
I'm seeing like Peter and MJ together, you know, So,
how do you guys feel about that? Like, do you
think it's gonna take you out of it at all?
If because it sounds like from what we've heard, Tom
Holland looks to be the star of this so I
would imagine if he's a star, then he would interact
with all the characters at some point, including her. So
how do you guys feel about that? There's something to
just slightly off about it? For me?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I feel like I feel like I'm not that
worried about it, just because of all the other pieces
like at play here, because there's already like there's so
many big just character like not characters, big actors in
this film, big names. Uh, I'd like, I I just
don't think I'm gonna get that vibe of it feeling like,
you know, like the Far from Home or just just
that era like that Spider Man dynamic in this world.
Speaker 7: But who knows, Like I guess it could.
Speaker 3: Go that way.
Speaker 1: Just I guess I just trust Nolan so much.
Speaker 6: I'm just I just really I'm excited to especially because
like I don't know, I haven't seen Tom Holland in
a lot of different roles other like other than the
Spider Man series. I just haven't seen a lot of
his other films. But for Zendia, like she just has
such a range. I can just I feel like she's
she's like water. She'll just you know, go with whatever
form Christopher Nolan's asking her to take shape, Like she
just goes.
Speaker 3: She's just so phenomenal.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I don't know, I just part yeah, no, I'm
fully trusting and yeah, I.
Speaker 3: Mean I don't especially because they haven't worked with him before.
Like maybe someone like Matt Damon can skip the line
a little bit in terms of like the casting process,
like maybe Nolan went straight to him and say, hey,
do you want to be in this movie? But I
feel like for Holland and Zenday, I imagine they had
to audition like anyone else, and they just probably individually
crushed it on their own. You know, maybe they even
drove there together to show up to the cat in
the office to do that, and like I'm sure they
both just crushed it. That's that's how I imagine it would go. Like,
like I said, when you have worked with someone previously,
maybe it's a bit easier process. Or we know, like
Tarantino writes parts for specific actors knowing he's gonna be
able to get them. I don't know if that was
the case for Nolan here, but yeah, I'm I'm sure
that they were just individually the best fit for their
role here. And that's and I mean, who which name
an actor who does not want to be in the
next Nolan movie? Like we hear all the kind of
how many actors are taking huge pay cuts, making like
the Hollywood minimum wage to just like be in any scene,
even if it's like the weirdest scene, because they just
want to work with someone like that. So yeah, it's yeah,
I'm really I'm not actually worried about it. It's just
kind of an oddity potentially the Odyssey.
Speaker 1: You know, when I watch Dune, I I see I
see MJ. I don't see uh in there. Yeah, I
just I to me, I just see though the character.
Speaker 2: Which one's Johnny again?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: No, okay, yeah, I don't see.
Speaker 3: You don't see her. You just seem okay, you don't
even you don't see you don't even see the character
in the movie. You just just MJ.
Speaker 2: Just MJ. So whenever I see especially it's even.
Speaker 1: Worse with Tom Whenever I see him in other movies,
I just see Peter Parker I don't see anyone.
Speaker 3: Else Spider Man though, just Peter Parker, just Peter Parker.
Speaker 1: They've just really cemented into those roles for me, And
it's kind of like, uh, Daisy Ridley, like I I
could see her in something else, and I just know
you're Ray, like I can't see you as anything else.
Same with Mark Hamill, Like I'm sorry, all I see
is loose Skywalker. It's just it's just one of those roles.
It's just like, ah, so I when I when I
see both of them together here, uh, I think it's
cool that you you get to work with your significant
other like that. That's awesome, and you know they're both
they're great actors. But yeah, I'm just gonna see I'm
just gonna see Peter Parker and Mary Jane in this movie.
Speaker 2: So that's I hope not for your.
Speaker 3: I'm hoping they give him like maybe the time when
you're able to make that disconnection, maybe Nolan will transform
you with this. Maybe maybe what's his name Holland will
have like huge beard or something like that, which I
can't even picture that, but I'd like to see it.
Zen Dai, I don't know what she'll do, but mm Hm,
she's great.
Speaker 2: I mean I don't know get behind that, you know.
Speaker 1: I mean, even seeing Tom Holland and Uncharted, he didn't
give me a Nathan Drake vibe, but he definitely he
still felt like Peter Parker.
Speaker 3: Really, I haven't seen that one yet.
Speaker 1: Apparently there's supposed to be a sequel or something, but
that's really other day something I don't think.
Speaker 2: It did well.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: I wanted to so just on the idea of like
what you brought up, Dylan, about the kind of ebb
and flow that no one goes through of these like
more historical movies or maybe just a more sci fi
fantastical one. I feel like part of me is unsure
on like I think this will very much be a realistic.
Speaker 3: Grounded story.
Speaker 6: However, at the end of the day, the Odyssey is
an epic, like it's not it's not something that actually happened,
like it is a tale. And of course, you know,
you and I just over the holidays we reviewed, well
not really holidays, but in that month war with the
Row here them and I feel like that is an
example of like you brought up this example about that story.
It's a telling of an event through some through a narrator, right,
and and if this is I'm not gonna say it's
gonna be narrated by someone of a story, but like,
if this is an epic tale, there could be some
sort of fantasy elements to it. I I don't think
it's gonna be like dragons and like way over the
top like the main interrface thing, but.
Speaker 3: I could very much bel dragon though, I'll tell you
that much.
Speaker 1: Oh no, sign me up for that. I'm so down.
Speaker 6: But like, I just feel like even in something an
interstellar where it is science fied, like it's still very
realistic and I don't even want to say until it
gets to a certain point because it's still just like
a wild idea to be.
Speaker 3: Yeah, then we got a guy in a bookshelf, so
I yeah, definitely go beyond.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 6: So I'm just curious if he brings any of that
into this story, even though I do foresee it being
a very you know, human realistic, realistic tale.
Speaker 3: No, I mean, great point. That just shows how little
I know about this worse material, Like I don't know
anything about it, but like, yeah, there's very there's a
very clear difference between the way is that like Dunkirk
and Oppenheimer are a similar thing, yeah, versus them being
similar to this. So yeah, very very good point. I
think I'm sure I will be pleasantly surprised. I'm sure
as soon as that first trailer drops, which is yeah,
something for Oppenheimer. First trailer drop, I was like, okay, yeah,
I know what they're doing here, And it wasn't until
I saw the movie was like, oh, yeah, this is excellent.
But I'm sure with Odyssey that hype train will start
a lot sooner. I think.
Speaker 6: Was it like the trailer too, It was just like
the countdown of the bomb dropping, and it just so
was like Killian Murphy. You just like sweaty and having
a panic attack, and then like that was the trailer.
It's like, okay, yea, this is probably gonna be a depressing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely already.
Speaker 2: Anything else you guys want to sneak in there regarding Nolan? Okay, cool,
Well we're gonna.
Speaker 1: Jump to another ad break here and then we're gonna
discuss some trailers and we are back. So have you
guys been watching these these trailers here?
Speaker 7: Yes?
Speaker 3: But now I'm gonna listen, and I see this one
called in the Lost Lens and I don't remember seeing
that earlier, so I've not seen that.
Speaker 1: Oh I Did's Milavovich and Dave Batista film.
Speaker 3: How did I see that? Either?
Speaker 1: It's based on a short We'll start with this one.
It's based on a short story from George R.
Speaker 2: Martin, I believe.
Speaker 3: Okay, now you're talking.
Speaker 1: So basically it's a fantasy action and it's it's essentially
this witchesque kind of character, which is Miliyavovich, and she
basically hires a guy who's Da Batista, who's kind of
like he just looks like an outlinish apocalyptic cowboy kind
of guy, and he basically is helping her get to
this certain place to I don't know, get some more
power so she can free your people and they're being hunted.
It gave me major like priest vibes, like mixed in
with a bunch of other like two thousand and nine,
twenty ten, just b rated films that I just fucking love.
Speaker 2: I can't wait for this movie. It just looks like
a good time.
Speaker 3: Are you gonna do a solo review for this?
Speaker 1: Because I want a Taylor Field Sole review.
Speaker 7: Last Sole review I listened to.
Speaker 1: I think was actually Monster Hunter, which.
Speaker 2: Is same director.
Speaker 1: This is the director is he's a Taylor Field movie.
Paul Anderson is Miliaviovic's husband, and so yeah, he did
Resident Evil, uh, the old ones, not the not that
latest or Welcome to Racoon City. He did Monster Hunter.
He's done, He's done all of these films. So I'm
I'm totally down. I'm super excited for this movie. This
just came out of nowhere, and I feel like Mila
has not been a lot of things, and I feel
like it's just like her husband's like.
Speaker 2: Hey, Mila, you want to be in my movie?
Speaker 1: Like sure, and so then Anderson just whips ups here
you go, so, yeah, I'm going to be in my movie.
Speaker 2: Like Travis pitches to us, Hey you want to be
in my movie?
Speaker 3: Like yeah, and.
Speaker 1: Then I say no, and then in his movie somehow.
Speaker 3: Just kidding. Yeah no.
Speaker 6: I I'm very much looking forward to Taylor seeing this
movie and hopefully doing a sole review because I think
it'll be an entertaining time. I do want to watch
some point, but bottom bottom of the priority list.
Speaker 3: I just.
Speaker 1: This is not going to be the start of a
beat keeper boys situation.
Speaker 6: You got me with Stapham, you know, I like her
for you know, the things that I like her in,
like the Resident Evil, I feel like just as they
go on. I also have a revisit there Resident Evils
in a long time, so I don't know how exactly
I feel on those, but retro one day.
Speaker 3: Anyways. Anyways, Yeah, I guess highlight for me out of
the bunch here is Death of a Unicorn. This movie
has a great cast. You got Ortega, you got Paul Rudd,
you got Adam Warlock, I forget his name at this
current juncture. Poulter Poltergeist, there he is, and then you
got a couple of the people that I can't remember
the name of. But yeah, never heard of this one
before today. Glad you put it on my radar. I
think it looks like a lot of fun. It got
some laughs out of me when he's like, I should
not be wearing swim trunks in this moment. That got
a good laugh out of me. The Pulter humor, I
think in general, is really working for me here, and
it's it's funny just see him now because obviously it's
like kind of a comedic role, which is where he
sort of started, or the first thing that I saw
him in when he was like a weebly little guy
and now he's just like huge, Like it's fun to
see that journey for him. But I really like him
and the rest of the cast. I think this is
a very fun premise. Just like they accidentally kill It's
like almost like the get Out scene where they hit
the deer, but instead of that, they just hit a unicorn.
And then it just turns into like all this madness
of what that means and maybe them spawning demons and
shit because of the consequences of this. So I think
this looks like a lot of fun. I don't know
is this a streaming thing? Is this going to theaters
right away? I don't know if I saw that in
the trailer here, but definitely gonna be checking this one
out at some point. It looks like a lot of fun.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this was definitely the standout for me as well.
I think I was expected like I saw it was.
I saw the title and I saw a twenty four.
I'm like, Okay, this could probably gonna be a really
weird movie. And then I didn't even see the thumbnail,
like I just I just clicked like whatever, and then
it just pulled up and then very surprised Paul run Ortega.
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh man, this is a wild pairing.
Speaker 6: And then the way that it was set up it
felt like very comedic, and I feel like that is
kind of the over arching gen yeah category I guess
for the film, Like it hits comedic moments, but I
feel like it's also going to be one of those
that has like a lot of different meanings to it,
like I don't know, just just more yeah, impactful messaging maybe,
And maybe I'm totally wrong by that, but I really
loved what I saw surprise that it was like so literal.
The title, I don't know, just other a twenty four things.
I feel like sometimes the titles are very not misleading,
but like they're just it's just a title.
Speaker 1: And then the movie's something different. But this is very
much just a death of the unicorn and what that
would mean, Like it's like, yeah, it's like Cure's cancer.
It's like that's like the biggest one. Of course, that's
Will polt Or just being fantastic. I love him in
comedic roles. Yeah, no, I just yeah, I really like
Will pull I love.
Speaker 3: Everyone in here.
Speaker 1: I mean, Ortega's fantastic Paul Red's fantastic.
Speaker 6: Love that sequence when especially like because I haven't seen
a lot of stuff that Ortega's done since Wednesday. I
don't know if she has been like I haven't seen
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, but like just seeing the Wednesday perform which
she's so like just just straight to this where she's
got like I don't know, she's just like a punk kid.
It's seeing she's got her vape, like when she looks
down at the deer and she just takes like a
big big drag of her vape cloud.
Speaker 3: And then it, you know, goes eight twenty four.
Speaker 6: I'm just excited to see that dynamic with with Rudd
as well, who I think all the pieces in here
are gonna be fantastic. H Taylor, what's the the gentleman
that plays like old school Loki?
Speaker 3: What's that actually name? Yeah, he's in here.
Speaker 6: At one point he's just like he's using like a
machine gun or something. I don't know if I saw
that right, but I was just laughing. It just it
just looks like it's gonna be a chaotic rye. And yeah,
no I'm this one circled for sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you mentioned there. Richard Grant just popping in here.
He just seems so like out of control, like ah like,
I love that version.
Speaker 2: Of him that always cracks me up.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm super down for this. I found that it's
supposed to be a theatrical release in the.
Speaker 2: In the United States, so hopefully that transfers.
Speaker 1: Hopefully hopefully.
Speaker 3: But I think this movie's got a lot going for it,
and I think.
Speaker 1: The humor is really really driving well, and I'm excited
to see it. I was not expecting it to be
so literal yet with the title, and there are a
few surprises in the trailer, and I'm hoping that we
get a few more surprises in the movie as well.
It seems like it's kind of got a whiff of
what they were doing with like Cocaine Bear, but not
that bad of a of a level like Cocaine Bear
was just bad, but this feels like it's just it's
up an echelon.
Speaker 2: So I'm I'm excited it for It.
Speaker 1: Was Cocaine bart A twenty four, they were definitely not okay.
Speaker 3: They wish ah cool.
Speaker 2: Let's talk happy Gilmore.
Speaker 6: Gilmore too, I have nothing to say about this. I
was very not asking for this, and I just saw
this trailer and I'm like, this is going to be terrible.
I don't know, that was my thoughts. I'll pass on
the baton.
Speaker 1: Never forget when we were playing charades and I was giving,
oh yeah, too good for your home and you had
nothing and.
Speaker 6: You found out how little of a happy Gilmore fan
I actually am. I don't know, like I I like
the movie enough, but like it's never been my est here.
It was a big thing in the Target era. I
just felt like an outsider. You guys were bonding over that,
and I'm like, yeah, not the.
Speaker 1: Biggest for context, ye for your listeners. And during the
Target days when we're working there in the staff room,
Happy Gilmore will be playing on rerun all the time
on the DVD player that we had when I TV
with like two channels, it would always be happy to go.
Speaker 2: More So.
Speaker 1: It was that in Frozen sing Along Edition, because that
DVD had just came out and working seasonal section Target. God, damn,
it's horrible, anything dyl What.
Speaker 3: Do you think Gilmore yourself?
Speaker 2: I'm ecstatic for this movie, but I feel like it's
gonna bomb. It's gonna bomb really hard.
Speaker 1: I am Netflix right, Netflix release only on Netflix, I think,
is what I said.
Speaker 2: I think something like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have to check, but we're getting We're getting like, uh,
some of the reoccurring characters. Ben Stiller doing his like
Doctor Warden character again, which is kind of funny. So
there's a few things that I am very much looking
forward to, but that first one is just it's it's
there's not a lot of those older Adam Sandler films
that really kind of like gie with me.
Speaker 2: I haven't seen a little Nicky in a long time.
Speaker 1: I wasn't really all for oh, the one where he
has to go back to school.
Speaker 2: I can't really thank you. Yeah, I wasn't really big
on that one.
Speaker 1: There's a few other ones are okay with but Happy
Gilmour just totally just cracks me up. Just the lions
just shoot her McGavin when shoot her like he's getting
frustrated and he sinks the ball and he's just angry
like yeah, and he like fist like fist shoots the
hole like and he's just that actor does such.
Speaker 2: A good job.
Speaker 1: One of my favorite lines too, like I eat pieces
of ship like you for breakfast. So I was like,
you eat pieces a ship for breakfast. He's like, no,
that's such a great movie.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. So I do hope this one lives
up to the hype level.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I won't.
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely, it's cash grap I think it's gonna be
huge on streaming. I think it's gonna be a big
success there as far as I mean. I feel like
the Sandler stuff that's already out there, which has no
nostalgia for people, is already a big deal on Netflix.
So combining that with something that people are nostalgic four
and it's like an easy thing for anyone to put on,
I think that'll be number one trending in Canada for
like weeks in a row. I could see it being
one of those I have very low expectations and I
think I just expecting it to not be very great
and so hopefully I can be surprised by It's fun
to have all the people back. I love that first
movie too. It's one of my favorites for sure as
a kid, watching over and over again. So yeah, I
just have very low expectations, but hopefully it's a good time.
This trailer also doesn't really I don't just show you
what like the premise is gonna be not that like
that's what would sell you on a movie like this,
But I am curious to see what they do with
the story here, and we'll see what happens. But it's
all my thoughts on that one, and I think I'll
be one of the series. I kind of feel the
same way about Last of Us. I feel like they
didn't really a lot of quick shots, a lot of glimpses,
but it feels like more of a teaser than like
a full on trailer, which I think it might be.
And I also I don't like, I know what happens
in the second game, even though I haven't played it myself.
I don't really want to spoil up, but it seems
like they're going a lot of directions that that game does,
so I'm very excited for that. I think seeing Oh, god,
what's her name? Who's playing? Oh? No, that's the original? Yeah,
whoever's playing? Oh, I can't remember her name? Caitlyn Denver
or no, god, yeah, no Kaitlyn. Yeah, at least Phebe Denover.
You're mixing. But she's fantastic everything I seen her, and
I'm very excited to see her in this role. So
that's great, and that's coming up soon. I don't know
why I expected that to be like far away still,
but I guess it did come out in twenty twenty three,
that first season, right, so uh so I like to
see Matt Reeves takes some notes. That's how you do
a baby boy. So so yeah, I'm excited for this
coming down in April. I'm gonna be there. I'm I'm excited.
I was thinking of replaying because the part one, like
the remasters on PlayStation plus. Yeah, I was thinking of
giving another shot. I've tried many times before it failed,
but I might might do it again.
Speaker 1: So let's talk about that, Dylan, because I I'm intrigued
as well.
Speaker 3: I actually any retro going on here.
Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, maybe you know if it works out, but
I especially you know, i'll talk now. I feel like
I just kind of forgot about this coming out so soon,
and then I got one of those crave ads, probably
on Crave, and then it just showed like the slate
of things that are coming. I'm like, holy fuck, that's right.
Last of Us is like right around the corner, and
I've never I don't even know, like the ending of
Last of Us one. I got halfway through the first
game the first time I played it, so I kind
of was going through the show like fresh. And then
I have no idea what happens in part two other
than just Abby is a character that's in there that's
apparently fairly divisive amongst players.
Speaker 2: They I don't know.
Speaker 7: I don't even know. I don't even know what. I
don't even know. But for the trailer, I think it.
Speaker 1: I think it did its job on getting the hype
built up for me. It didn't show too much spoilered.
Speaker 3: Why is.
Speaker 6: What's Oh my gosh, l Ellie Ellie uh showed off
her little arm sleeve tattoo. I remember that from the
cover of the game, so I at least knew that spoiler.
I guess she's got a new a little half sleeve
whatever you call that forearm tattoo. But but just like
the locations we're at, it's like, oh, yeah, this is
film in Canada.
Speaker 3: Looks beautiful. I like this.
Speaker 6: Looks scary, looks looks intense. I will say, when I
went on YouTube to watch the trailer, this has got
to be like the worst thumbnail.
Speaker 3: I've ever seen in my life.
Speaker 7: I was thumbnail that is the thumbnail. No, it isn't
it literally is Taylor.
Speaker 3: Well, I know it the thumbnail, But is that like
from HBO, like HBO made that. I believe it was
HBO Max whatever it was. That that's got to be
a parody.
Speaker 7: It is the it's a shot in the trailer, Well
it is, legit is a shot.
Speaker 3: I'm not kidding you, guys. I could pull.
Speaker 2: The trailer. I don't remember this. I'm calling bullshit.
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, so let me pull it up. It is
so horrible share screen right now. They're with us audio listeners.
Speaker 2: I just can't believe it.
Speaker 1: I can't first one, first one, that's literally show me
in the trailer in the Okay, but that's not HBO.
That's post screen culture. That's screen culture. But okay, it's
in the trailer tailor field. Let me get let me
find it.
Speaker 3: I don't know, we'll see. I'm not buying this, So
you pull on my leg. If that is, that's definitely
like a photo shop, Like her face is way too
airbrush in that moment. Oh yeah, shot from the show.
Speaker 7: I just feel like that was like.
Speaker 2: That's just the whole positioning of that position something actually inappropriate.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, you're looking it up the trailers, I'm scarning.
I did.
Speaker 1: I did like the trailer. And again, I've never played last.
The best part two I played last was part one.
But this story I'm excited to see continue because I
really like the first season.
Speaker 3: And so here we are.
Speaker 1: It looks like their little edge of Paradise out in
the woods Woodland realm is under attack.
Speaker 3: So yeah, my mum.
Speaker 1: Started watching actually the first season too, and she actually
was telling me all about it and she liked it.
So it's like, oh cool, yeah, And I questioned her,
I'm like, do you know how it spread? She's like, yeah,
through bread. I'm like, okay, good, you're paying attention.
Speaker 3: Spread through bread. I forgot about that. She's better than me.
Zero point seventy five speed here you go. Okay, well
go back, go back. I want to see it. Do
your frame by frame. Wow, it.
Speaker 7: Looks horrible. It looks horrible.
Speaker 3: If you've made the thumbnail for this news, I'm cross
put this in our newscast thumbnail. For anyone who is
just listening, look at the thumbnail.
Speaker 2: Don't don't exit out.
Speaker 3: Keep that up.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm cross referencing something because I'm I don't believe this.
Speaker 3: I feel like I'm being punked right now, keep that up.
Speaker 6: I'm just like someone like had the regular trailer, made
their own version and then displice this shot like right
in the middle of the trailer.
Speaker 1: Okay, and you know what, I can confirm that's the case.
That's exactly Okay, I'm gonna blow your mind. Now I'm
gonna present Oh yeah, oh yeah, what hell yeah?
Speaker 2: Okay, So I got the trailer from from Max HBO Max. Okay,
now I'm gonna play it here, We're gonna get to
here we go.
Speaker 1: I'll go back, go back. So here they are boom.
So that shot that you showed happens right after the
zombies hit the wall.
Speaker 2: But how it cuts to that?
Speaker 3: Kirkland, how long is your trailer?
Speaker 7: A minute twenty five?
Speaker 3: This is a longer trailer.
Speaker 1: His trailer's got doctored scenes, it's all it's fake. Pull
up your trailer again, Pull up your trailer again. Remember
it's in my trailer, the zombies at the wall, and
then it cuts to Ramsey in the dark with a
red flare.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well that's what number trailer do you have?
Speaker 1: This is the latest one from three days ago on
Max HBO Max Official YouTube channel.
Speaker 7: I mean, I hope that is the case, because that
is such a horrible shot. That is just so funny.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's that's it's en. I knew it.
Speaker 1: There's something wrong about that shot. There's no way that
would be real fucking shot.
Speaker 3: Huh man when that when that show comes out, if
that shot pops up, that's gonna be something else.
Speaker 2: I'm putting money on it. I a pizza bet with you, Kirk.
Speaker 7: That shot is not taking the bet. I'm not like defended.
Speaker 3: That's a good bet for you.
Speaker 1: Okay, you know what, for the sake of it, I'll
take the pizza bet. I'll take a medium pizza bet
with you. We'll do a red Swan medium to keep.
Speaker 3: Red red Swan medium on the camera.
Speaker 2: Shake it, keep that keep that shot in here.
Speaker 7: It's in the files.
Speaker 3: It's in the files. Goddamn, that's so fake. Season two
trailer three. Wait, there's been two other trailers.
Speaker 2: I think, like one main trailer then probably like just
like a teaser.
Speaker 3: God damn, I probably missed those trailers. I guess that's
not all those newscasts. I don't know. That is so funny.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, thank you for fact checking me. I mean,
I'm taking the bit the bet for the meme, but.
Speaker 2: That is so fun.
Speaker 3: I mean, that's that YouTube channel that yours is on
Kirk that's a big channel. Yeah, not controversial what they're doing.
They got one hundred thousand views, pretty much.
Speaker 2: Better tell them that they're they're doctoring footage.
Speaker 1: Yeah, everyone just says is in it in the YouTube
comments commenting on them, Oh yeah, it said that thumbnails
crazy angle. It says this has AI generated scenes in
the trailer. Okay, okay, only has six fingers. Apparently thirty
seconds in AI generated tattoo one. So the tattoo was
I didn't even watch the real trailer.
Speaker 3: It's the thing that people are doing. Are people splicing
trailers and just making it look like a regular trailer,
but then they put it on AI.
Speaker 1: People have been doing that for for a long time.
But AI is just a whole new ball game now right,
everyone's talking about just AI and the thumbnail.
Speaker 3: My god, this is a whole conspiracy. We've just unraveled. Man,
that is in front of us. That is insane.
Speaker 7: Of course I clicked that video too.
Speaker 3: Over the issue one the algorithm knows that you're gullible
enough to buy into it, dude, fair this one's one
day ago, so I always clicked like the most recent
one to defend. I always want to go to the
third most recent one.
Speaker 1: I think the thumbnail health I mean, clearly, see.
Speaker 3: What happened to Ellie in this scene. That's crazy, and
you see what she's okay, Oh my god, that's so funny.
Speaker 1: Anyways, Yeah, trailer, it's pretty good.
Speaker 7: For what I saw. The trailer was pretty good.
Speaker 2: I'm glad you've mentioned all that. That was great.
Speaker 3: Are we on a Spider Man now?
Speaker 2: We're on a spider Man friendly neigh with Spider Man
Spider Man.
Speaker 3: Yeah. For the most part, I don't love the visuals.
I think they're fine, but I don't. It just looks
a little cheap to me. I'm sorry, And I think
as far as the story and stuff goes, I was
like not digging this trailer. It just seemed a little generic,
a little basic for my Spider Man stuff. It seems
like we're just kind of doing the same things over again.
But then when we got to the one sequence where
Norman knows Peter is is Spider Man and then he
hicks hooks him over with a suit or something. I'm wondering,
like there's gonna be some sort of like mind control
like that that angle it. I'm really curious, and that's
something I haven't quite seen from Norman, So I'm really
really curious to see what's going on there. That was
kind of the one point. Everything else was like pretty
by the numbers generic for me, which is maybe this
is what they're doing for the marketing cycle of this
because that's just what people want, familiar stuff. But yeah,
for the most part, I would say I'm not super
duper hyped on this show, but I'm I'll be willing
to give it a shot.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm I'm definitely gonna give it a give it
all good college shry, I'm looking forward to some more
Spider Man stuff, and yeah, it's just gonna be cool
to kind of see them dive into this world a
bit more. But the trailer didn't necessarily really get me
overly hyped and excited and think there's a few things
that are just.
Speaker 2: I I need to watch the show to know where
I stand and where I feel on it. I feel
like that's just been kind of my go too lately.
Speaker 1: A lot of trailers for things recently are not necessarily
just a quick sell for me, but I'm doing it again.
I'm there day one for the podcast and for the review,
and then that usual he transitions into like, man, this
show is awesome.
Speaker 2: I'm super excited. So I'm hoping that's gonna be the
case for me going in here.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, I uh.
Speaker 1: I'm kind of snobby when it comes to animation, and
I didn't love the look of this one.
Speaker 3: I I think I love the look.
Speaker 6: When he's in the suit because it reminds me of
the comic book version of the suits that you have
from the Spider Man video game. I just love rocking
like that comic book strip style. So when he's actually
in the suit, I was digging a lot more.
Speaker 1: Even the fight scenes and stuff I was I was
really liking that, and I think just the Spider Man
ism was enough for me to look past that. But
when he was in the school, yeah, like it reminded
me of just some other three D animated I'm not
gonna say cheaper shows, but just I don't know things
I've seen on other streaming things that it's animated slop. Yeah,
I'm gonna I'm gonna say that, I'm gonna use.
Speaker 2: That word trailer AI generated scenes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, what's up with just cut these wild shots? No, I.
Speaker 6: Think I'm just so pumped that this is actually coming
out just a Spider Man adventure show, and I don't know.
I liked enough of the dynamics of the characters and
him in the Spider Man suit to really be excited
for this, even though I didn't love the look of
the show. And there's been shows in the past, like
The Mystery of Aravos The Dragon Prints on Netflix, which
is I think I didn't love as the show went
on later on, but at the start of the show,
I fucking hated the look of it. I could not
get past the animation. It was just so tripping my
eyes out. But the show is good enough that it
just clicked and I just didn't notice it anymore because
I was just so invested in the plot. So I'm
open the same thing.
Speaker 3: Just I don't know.
Speaker 6: The three D animation I'm usually not the biggest fan of,
but I think the color palette it makes it looks cheap,
but also the style I like somewhat dig so.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 6: I'm kind of in a gray area there when it
comes to that. Yeah, no, I'm very much looking forward
to the show. It's been a long time coming.
Speaker 1: And yeah, nice, brilliant, brilliant.
Speaker 3: Ah.
Speaker 7: Well, that does it for.
Speaker 2: This part of the newscast.
Speaker 1: We're gonna break off into our part two as we
continue on, so you can leave now, you can stay
tuned as we get into some more stuff.
Speaker 2: So yeah, have a good one.
