Speaker 1: All right, we're back. I still don't know what to
call this other than catching fire. Is that the that's
the title of a movie, not necessarily the.
Speaker 2: Title of ice series? Yeah, okay, Hunger games? Is that
what you're talking about?
Speaker 1: Is that what the series is?
Speaker 2: Called the Hunger Game series?
Speaker 1: I thought it had like how Game of Thrones has
like a song of ice and fire like that is
the title of the book series.
Speaker 2: Are you saying you didn't know this was called the
Hunger Game series?
Speaker 1: I didn't know that. I thought I had a different name.
I thought it was like the I mean, it has
so many stupid.
Speaker 2: Well the last one is called the Ballad of like
Snowbirds and alf.
Speaker 1: And to me, that's like a book series title. That's
not the name of a movie like that. That is that?
Is this? That is the name of a collection of
books like this is the Ballad of Songbirds and whatever?
Calling it it's just such a mouthful.
Speaker 2: It's called the Hunger Game series, though, I can I
can confirm, Yeah, okay, thank you, even if not every
movie involves a hunger game, yeah, you know, because I
don't think all of them do, right, Like not all
of them have the ring where everyone's duking it out right.
The later ones don't, right because they're just like a
collapse of society and it's just cat and it's like, yeah,
sniping guards out in like the real world. I have
not seen those ones. I've only seen the first two, so.
Speaker 1: You haven't seen the back ones. They're really bad. Yeah, sold,
I'll never not selling you on that one. That's that's
basic one.
Speaker 2: Are they bad because there's no Hunger Game in them?
Or are they bad for other reasons?
Speaker 1: Really bad? The second one, all right, that's what we
were saying. The second last one, I think I think
it's one of those feelers where.
Speaker 2: It's like that was called raising fire or something. What
was that one called? You said it earlier.
Speaker 1: What did I call it? Catching fire? There?
Speaker 2: Catching fire?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I don't think that's what it's called, though.
I think that's the second movie is called catching fire.
Speaker 2: I think Hunger Game.
Speaker 1: One of them is called catching fire, Catching Fire. And
then it's like to kill a mocking bird or something
like that. No, you're thinking mocking j there you go, Oh,
you're a part one kill.
Speaker 2: To kill a mocking bird.
Speaker 1: That's what, like the epilogue should have been called the
reason when they finally get rid of that mocking j
that is Catnus Everdeen. But no, I wasn't a fan
of them. I felt like the penultimate movie, it felt
like how definitely holl Is Part one is where it's like,
this is probably a much better book than a movie adaptation.
Just a lot of setup, a lot of like politicking
and conversing. And I hated it. I I really really
it was a hard one to get through, and I
don't ever plan on rewatching that ever, even even the
last one. I will rewatch Hunger Games. I like that movie,
but it's it's like what you.
Speaker 2: Watched the Og.
Speaker 1: The og in full would have been when I did
that marathon of like finishing the Monk, because I just
hadn't seen the last two. But I threw it on. Honestly,
it's probably after Extra Life. I like, get home and
I don't want to sleep all throughout the day because
we just were up for.
Speaker 2: Twenty five this last year, this last year ago.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh wow, Yeah.
Speaker 2: Recently I watched Hunger Games most recent They did not
hold up for me. Okay, the first one, so everything
about it or just it aged no, just like you know,
cinematography acting action pretty much everything, actually, not much about it,
pretty much everything.
Speaker 1: I mean, I can't really give it much justice too,
because I threw it on after an extra life streams
and I probably crashed like instantly.
Speaker 2: But yeah, you're delirious at that point.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, one hundred percent, just thinking about all the
things we've been just screaming into the mic all night
and in the wee hours of the day. But if
you're listening to this and you're wondering what the fuck
we're going off about Hunger Games is, we got some
juice to unravel here, and specifically casting juice around the
title of the Hunger Games sun on the Reaping.
Speaker 2: Which is Sunrise on the Reaping.
Speaker 1: Thank you. Yes, my notemaker did not spell that right.
Speaker 2: The que card.
Speaker 1: Whoever wrote the que card.
Speaker 2: There's no one to blame here, some intern who wrote.
Speaker 1: The que card, and you will not be back that intern. Yes,
So Hunger Games Sunrise on the Reaping, which is a
title that I despise. I did not like the last
title either, Ballad of Songbirds and to Kill a mocking
Jay whatever the full title was, Part three or whatever.
Did you see that last one?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: No, I didn't either.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't really have any not many people did.
I don't think intrigue for.
Speaker 1: Some people did because Taylor liked it. I think it's
a safe assumption. Yeah, okay, I think it's a safe
assumption here. I don't. Yeah, I don't have much skin
in the game when it comes to the series anymore,
if you like, after that binge of the whole series,
I'm like, yeah, okay, this is it. I'm I don't
think I'm gonna seek out the books or anything like that,
but I was kind of interested by this list here
of familiar faces that we got the Q card maker. Oh,
I missed a Patreon question, so I'm gonna I'm gonna
just address this right now. This was like in the
mco Realm the Great Dalton. Who I apologize, Dalton, You've
been in this episode with us, and I missed your
Patreon question, which is, do you guys think we're getting
Savage Hulk, Professor Hulk or just Bruce Banner.
Speaker 2: Oh? Interesting, Yeah, I would say Professor Hulk long dead.
You know, we could throw a funeral and everything. He's
long gone. I think we are gonna get Savage Hulk
for ninety percent of the movie and then you'll get
Ruffalo at the end when he's been cured. I don't
think you'll get him early on in the movie either.
I think he's just he is Hulk, he is the villain.
Then you you save him at the end of the movie.
That's my that's my prediction.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I would tend to agree with you there.
I liked your setup of like when we were talking
about how like maybe the first time we see him
is like just Savage Hulk and and like you don't
really get what like how we got to that point
and they fill in the cracks a little bit later.
But I think I'll differ from you in the sense
of that we'll get Bruce Banner at the end. I
think it'll just kind of be Savage Hulk with maybe
like a moment of Bruce Banner. But by the end
of the film, I don't think it'll be back to
Mark Ruffalos Bruce Banner. I think it'll be the Savage
Hulk that we that we.
Speaker 2: Know and fear and love.
Speaker 1: So yeah, there you go go to Patreon to address
questions that we will not forget about like I almost
did today. So shut said to you, Dalton, thank you
for a question the Hunter Games and the sun Rise
on the Reaping. Yeah, we got some juicy faces on
this list. I recognized all but three on here. What
about you?
Speaker 2: Okay, I'll probably half and half, maybe a little half
for a.
Speaker 1: Little half heirs. Yeah, I mean because I'm not like
super fond of the franchise in general, Like I feel
like it's for me. It's like, Okay, that's a great
actor in this movie more so than like that's a
perfect casting for this character for this reason, for you know,
portrayals that I've seen them do by different characters, and
I can see them take that same finesse into the role.
Like I definitely don't feel that at all. I think
part of that is also just because I I've seen,
I've seen the whole series other than the prequel, but
like still, yeah, I don't have a lot of attachment
or like fondness for these certain characters.
Speaker 2: But it's cool in there.
Speaker 1: I think the big one is, of course, the Plemster,
the Jesse Plemmons.
Speaker 2: Thelems I.
Speaker 1: You know recipes, the great powerful Philip Seymour Hoffman. I
feel like Jesse plus Plemmens to me is like a
distant re relative of his in my mind, it's probably
not true, but I just see to those two characters
they can yeah, very and also.
Speaker 2: Initially they got it. I think they definitely have some
same energy. And I think Plemmons has such range that
I think he'll be able to capture Hoffman's performance there.
So I think that's excellent. It's funny when I was
looking at this and a lot of them are like, okay,
like Philip Superhoffen, like I feel like he's close to the
same age as Butody Harrelson. But then like the two
people cast in this prequel are like this seemingly like
significantly different ages, Like it seems like this guy playing
Woody Harrelson's character is like in his early twenties. And
then I think this came up recently as well with
with Plemons, that he seems a lot older than he
actually is. So maybe that's counter argument to myself right there.
But some of these ages seem like very off for me,
at least in terms of a just like at a glance.
But maybe, yeah, maybe they're way aged differently. I don't
actually know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's a great point. I feel like
like in Hollywood and movies, like just like costs. Human
makeup can do such a good job, but just masking
like the age of the actual actor, making them look
way younger or way older. That's happened a lot in
the past with certain castings, so I not too worried
about that. I mean, it would be odd if you
had like a youngster playing uh Snoke, that's not his name,
that's the Star Wars guy goes to show how much
I know of the series, but snow the refines casting character.
So yeah, and.
Speaker 2: I'll kind of throw one at you because there's a
character here. There's a character by the name of Wyrus
played by Amanda Plumber in Catching Fire, which I have
not seen Amanda Plumber of pulp fiction fame, Right, So
my hawk is playing that that version, So can you
tell me about that? Like, is Myahawk a good is
she can be able to portray that? Because I don't
really know the name Wirius makes me think this character
is very wiry to do that. Yeah, I guess she
kind of. She played in the Anxiety in Inside Out
two and did a great job of that, so maybe
maybe that'd work. But yeah, what do you think from
actually someone who's seen Catching Fire do you think that's
a good good casting other than Maya just being an
outstanding actress.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think it is. I I don't
like no too much in deep of the character just
from what I've seen, and I feel like it's it's
a role that Mayahawk can definitely feel the shoes of. Yeah,
she's she's a great actress. I can definitely see her
like just being like a wiry character. But more so
I feel like she can also just capture a younger
version of that same character. Uh, just just with what. Yeah,
I don't know, just my my initial thoughts, I guess
of it there, Like to me, Wires was like a
very like like I don't want to say nothing character,
but like she is a very side character in the
overall story. So I'm I'm I'm just interested in I
don't know. That's a weird way to say that, because
I I'll say I'm interested in seeing what they do
with the with like the early stages of that character.
But I probably won't even see this unless I hear
like really phenomenal things, So like my interest level isn't
that high, but who knows. Like I I think with
the last one, it had some familiar faces for sure
in the casting I believe Hunter Schaeffer was in there,
so I was excited to see her in that, but
like I never even ended up seeing it, So like
I'm kind of just I'm blowing smoke, I think with that.
But at least for this casting list, there's a lot
more familiar faces that when I see them in things,
I tell myself that I want to see more of them.
So am I kind of lying to myself if I
don't seek this out? Because you know this is this
is a great list, Like even el Fanning's in there.
Mcaulay Culkins, Yeah, what's mccaullay Culkin's brother's name. He just
wanted to Kieran Culkin an Oscar?
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that's crazy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, best supporting And I'm gonna double check that because
I'm not an Oscar follower, but I'm pretty sure he.
Speaker 2: Got it for a TV show. So he didn't get
an Oscar, but he got whatever the equivalent is for
TV Golden Globe.
Speaker 1: Did okay, did you follow the Oscars?
Speaker 2: Like you know for sure he didn't. Well, he got
it for Succession and that's not a movie. So that's
why I don't think he an Oscar. He won Best
Supporting Actor Oscar for Real Pain. Oh yeah, he actually
won for that as well, Best Supporting Actor. Yeah, because
didn't you like a golden globe last year too? That's
actually crazy, right, what a run?
Speaker 1: Eh?
Speaker 2: Holy shit, I did not realize that. Wow, you blew
my mind right there. I thought I thought I caught
you in a in a snag there, but oh my god,
you snagged me right back. That's crazy. I still want
to repeat that one. Yeah, seriously, I've been meaning to
see that movie. I didn't realize he won an Oscar.
That's absolutely insane behavior.
Speaker 1: Yea, because that's the Eisenberg direct one, right. Yeah. So
I don't know. I didn't have much interest to it.
Like I heard it was really good. I don't follow
the Oscars or anything. I just I think I just
saw it on like a feed. I'm like, wow, look
at that. Kieran Culkin had.
Speaker 2: A boy, had a boy?
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, that was the one that that stood out to
me here as well, because, uh, since you know, he
was on succession for a few years there building up
his resume, people are like, God, this guy's actually crazy
good actor. I've been excited to see like what he
does when he dips into the movie. I'm obviously freaking
crush an oscar So's he's messing up or just just
popping off. But I was really curious to see what
his first role would be in like a big franchise thing,
you know, like I was considered casting him in our
like in our comic book, comic book draft and all
that kind of stuff before. Uh, And so, I mean,
I'm a little bummed that this is like the franchise
that he chose to go for when I feel like,
how haught he is right now. He could have not
necessarily as Sad any character, but could have hopped into
any franchise, and you know, he still can. Obviously doesn't
walk him out, but it means he might be busy
with this, and if they make a sequel to this prequel,
I don't know if he'd be tied up from multiple projects.
And since I'm just not really that interested in this,
it's a bit of a bummer. But yeah, hopefully he
crushes it. I don't know the character very well that
he's playing, but that character is in that original Hunger Games,
right the I forget what his role is, but oh,
he's the game's host straight, So I think I think
he'll eat up that role. I think he's able to
chew that scenery and in a really fun way. So
I think that's a that's a really fun casting. That
was definitely probably the highlight for me out of these.
Speaker 1: Out of the bunch, Yeah, I was definitely on the Like,
if I had do like a top five of interest
that I have for these, I think it's in there.
I like, probably Scott Pilgrim is like the only thing
I've seen him in. Maybe maybe like maybe there's some
some offshoot thing that I have seen him in there,
but not to the extent of like the Oscar Rain
or Golden Globe Rain, you know, like that tier of
the actor, but like just the idea of Also, the
character that he's playing is like very zany and like
over the top with like the ridiculous like fake teeth
and just the makeup and everything. So just to just
to put him in that role is going to be interesting,
and like you said, just just see him kind of
I don't know, to take it by the reins and
chewing up the scenery and doing all that. It's going
to be enticing. Yeah, the other big one for me
is the Ray Fines casting of Snow. It's interesting because
like I don't really see an I apologize cause I
don't remember the actor that played the original Snow. I
should pull that up, but I I like they look
very different to me, like like, like I think they're
both great actors, but I just see them being a
different type of actor, even though like it's an older
gentleman that has like a very powerful presence to them
when they speak, but like it's still a different category
in my mind when I think of the two of them. Yeah,
so I'm gonna be interested. And again I keep saying this,
Maybe I have to say this now that I keep
saying it. I am interested in seeing the version of
it because Ray Finds is someone that I feel like
i'd like whenever i'd seen him in something. Is it
Schindler's List? Is that that really famous one that he's in.
I'm sure that question to throw to you, but uh, yeah,
I like.
Speaker 2: I he was in Harry Potter. I can tell you that.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's fantastic, Like I feel like I always
apreciate him without knowing how much I appreciate him. And
then watching something like The Menu that I I didn't
even really care for that movie, but I thought he
just uplifted the material so well, like like without him
in that role, he like, I think it's just such
a lesser movie. And he just has that that powerful presence,
and someone like President snow should have that right like
he should command that that just attention, and I think
Rafe can can definitely yeah, just fit that that caliber bar. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean I feel like back in the day when
we were in like peak high school days there, uh
it was Harry Potter and was Hunger Games that were
just all a buzz and that kind of young adult
film category right where it's like just the y A category.
Those two things were just absolutely crushing it. They were
taking over the role everyone was talking about those that
was everything. And so the fact that he's like gonna
be now in this as well, so crossing over across
these two franchises that were just so big in that
point in time, I think it's a it's kind of funny,
kind of funny to see that he's just hitting up
all these all these big franchises that kind of hit
up that same niche. So, yeah, he's he's done it
before he'll do it again.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he absolutely will.
Speaker 2: Any other ones you wanted to shout out, yeah, I
get I guess I'll just mention them. But I don't
know if I really have much to say. But Lily
Taylor uh is playing Megs. We got Ben Wang playing
Wyatt Callo. I think we've kind of mentioned all the
other ones here. There's a couple of smaller ones people
I'm not really I guess. Do you know this guy,
Joseph Zada who's playing Hamidge. He's playing Woody Harrelson's character.
Have you seen this guy before?
Speaker 1: No? I didn't. Yeah, that one was Uh. I just
I feel like, because Hamidge is a big character from
like when we jump into Hunger Games, even I'm expecting
like a lot of juice around that character, and the
fact that, like I just I don't know who this
actor is. I'm like, Okay, this is a potential MCU
cast or you know, Superhero draft character, depending on how
it goes. Yeah, just because I haven't really seen his
He's been in four Things nice, four Things.
Speaker 2: Career, so he's yeah, he's he's fresh, he's a newcomer.
So that's kind of a bold choice. But maybe he's uh,
maybe he's great.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean Brad Pitt was once an unknown, right
and look at him now it's Brad Pitt.
Speaker 2: So yeah, you got to start somewhere just to start
a huge franchise year ago, exactly.
Speaker 1: Right on any final thoughts, what's your temperature check on
sunrise of the Reaping?
Speaker 2: And oh, I'm talking like negative fifty three, Calvin or
something like, it's all looking good over here.
Speaker 1: It was minus fifty five for me. And now that
we've kind of gone through some of these casting it's
like miyus fifteen, so jumped quite a bit, but still
pretty low.
Speaker 2: Speaking of Harry Potter detour, did ask in the in
the chat? Or do you what do you think of
the new Harry Potter casting? I saw that that was
announced today, but I haven't actually seen who any of
the people were. Did you get it?
Speaker 1: I'll do a little screen share here for you so
you can you can do a live reaction. Oh terrible
image like not zoomed in at all? Zoom in may
I'm doing them doing so down zoom All right, So
we got three three babies? Three babies?
Speaker 2: Do you know you hate it? I don't know any
of his babies is that is that is there is
there more people or just these three kids?
Speaker 1: There might be more. This is the only three I saw,
so I was just gonna, okay, it's all my teleprompter something.
Speaker 2: They looked like they're best of friends already, so it's good.
They looked the part. That guy's got red hair, so
come on's doing We're good to go.
Speaker 1: I love it. That was basically everything I was gonna say.
I'm like, yeah, they look like kids.
Speaker 2: They look like These actors are so good they can.
Speaker 1: Portray a kid. I think the one in the middle
is gonna be Hairy. One of the right might be Ron,
one of the left might be her Miam. Do you
think so? Unless you're feeling bold and really changing things up?
Maybe Harry is the one on the far right, who.
Speaker 2: Knows, Yeah, I think that'd be cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, maybe it's Harry mayaanee Potter. And then the
one on the left is actually gonna be Harry depending
on how change.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they yeah, they look like kids. They
fit the age for what these characters should be.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: Obviously I've never seen them in anything before and wish
them nothing but the best.
Speaker 2: Yeah, good, good for them. This is they're gonna make
They're gonna be fucking billionaires by the time they're twenty one,
so you know, yeah, good good for them.
Speaker 1: And like I really have not paid attention to like
the discussions online or anything people's thoughts. Like I quickly
saw some things in the discord. It's I mean sounds
like sounds like some people are pretty indifferent how we are, uh,
and like just just people that are like getting upset
over this stuff. It's just like, what the fuck did
you want? Like, like, seriously, did you want to clone
of Daniel Radcliffe in here? Like I don't at all.
I want to see a new up and cover actor
or actress and like see what they can do, and
like just have them on the radar and be like, damn,
this actor or actress is phenomenal for young actor, maybe
even better than what the originals were, because I think
that could absolutely happen at least like the performance wise,
I don't think.
Speaker 2: Back of those early movies. I mean there's some iffy
acting from those from those characters.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, absolutely, It's like kind of become a meme
now when I rewatch them with just like how goofy
some of their reactions are, but uh yeah, oh look
at this. We got the rare Patreon Tyler appearance like therapist.
Speaker 2: From them.
Speaker 1: I hope they have some therapist line up for these kids.
They get the most undeserved hate. Well, said sir. That's
what I was trying to say, is like just grown
ass men that are just raging and like pissed off
and trying to like I don't know for sure, but
like they're probably signing petitions to get these these people
recast because there's just people out there that are like that,
which is crazy. I think they have probably mental health
issues and way too much time on their hand, but like,
fuck man, it's happening. Get with it. It's it's it's ridiculous.
Did you do not throw undeserved hate to youth actors
when they are the life?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, we'll judge the project when it comes out,
that's what We'll tear them apart on the review.
Speaker 2: We're legally obliged to tear them apart.
Speaker 1: But for right now, yeah, absolutely, let's let's just be
happy for them. This is the role of the lifetime
for them, and I'm sure they've seen Harry Potter.
Speaker 2: Maybe not, they're so young.
Speaker 1: Maybe they haven't seen Harry Potter.
Speaker 2: But I don't think do kids like Harry Potter anymore?
Or they move on?
Speaker 1: It's a great question, that would be a question.
Speaker 2: Just like that roll blocks and bluie. I don't know
what else they like. Yeah, they like.
Speaker 1: I think you caught it.
Speaker 2: I think it's all that nephew likes playing with trains.
But nice, that's about it.
Speaker 1: My nephews.
Speaker 2: He doesn't know anythingbout Harry Potter.
Speaker 1: Probably into trains as well, big in a hockey Yeah,
but not Harry Potter, No, not at all. I'll ask him.
I'm seeing him this summer, so that's the first thing
I last, And they probably won't know anything I'm talking about.
My sister's a massive Harry Potter fan, though, so maybe
she's indoctrinating them into the Harry Potter cold. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, is your sister Harry Potter fan? Uh? I don't think.
I don't think. She probably hasn't seen it since like
she was in grade ten or something.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, is your nephew Sheldon? He is actually detold,
do you know, my little my little nephew. Now I'm kidding,
that is not his name. He's not Sheldon I imagine
you're talking about the Big Bang theory.
Speaker 2: Sheldon, is he in trains or something? Is that? I
don't never seen, never seen little Sheldon, that show I
was into trains. You were probably into trains too, right.
Speaker 1: Kirkle Absolutely, Thomas think engine.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a rite of passage. You have to be
into trains at something it is.
Speaker 1: Did you ever like have like the Thomas the the
train like set. I never did. Oh you did?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think so? Maybe I had that. I don't know.
Money is firmly lowerman of class. I lived in Roland, Okay,
you're in the literati of West Colowna.
Speaker 1: Or I grew up in a trailer park. Okay, come on,
that's that's different tiers. It was a nice trailer park.
But still I grew up in that trailer park.
Speaker 2: Seven r vs stitched together. It's just like a mansion
of trailer park.
Speaker 1: The human Santa Pee trailer park. That's that'sh equivalent. Yeah, No,
that sounds horrible.
Speaker 2: No, that's ho.
Speaker 1: I wish I could take that back.
Speaker 2: Maybe I feel bad for kids who were like existed
before trains were invented, because like they couldn't be into trains.
Speaker 1: What they do would they do like carriages?
Speaker 2: They were into like dirt. I don't know.
Speaker 1: That's one thing that never ends. Kids are still into dirt,
you know, dirt. They like to just play. It's on.
It's oh man, the stock of dirt is just it's
up there. It's I've been investing in a big time
after COVID, you know, after COVID happened. Dirts on the rise. Yeah,
people want to get out in the dirt. They want
to ground themselves. That's actually a trend.
Speaker 2: Remember on the side coaster you're talking about digging ditches
and stuff. Yeah. I think yeah, it's gonna be a
big thing.
Speaker 1: All right, we're calling it here.
Speaker 2: We need to get out of here episode. Yeah, this happens.
Speaker 1: We do two back to back, you know, just us episodes.
But it's been fun. Thanks for joining me. Thank you
detour Tyler in the chat. We appreciate you and you
listeners out there, We appreciate you. Have a wonderful rest
of your day, rest of your week, rest of your May,
and uh until next time, we will see you there.
Speaker 2: Bye bye.
