for you.
Speaker 2: Now. I I think that's it as far as plugs go. Yeah,
so we're gonna get into our main topic here after
we quickly cover some what we've been watching. We got
to maybe a patron question or two that will kind
of Slide in there as well. But I'm curious, what uh,
what have you guys been been up to?
Speaker 3: I'm quick, so I can I can go first here.
I started watching Secret Level, the Amazon nice video game
adaptation show situation. I've only watched like four or five episodes,
and they're all very short, so that's not it's not
a whole lot of watching, but so far, I mean,
I watched this Splunky episode today and it just warmed
my heart. It's like, if you take the credits out,
it's like five minutes long, so it's very very short,
not a lot of depth to it, but it was
It's still just I don't know, I just love that
series so much. And then there was like a remix
of like the Spawlunky one theme in there, even though
it was like kind of a Splunky two themed episode,
like the characters and stuff from that. So that was
really nice. I really really enjoyed that. It's not an
all time great television show. There's not a whole lot
to it. It's really quite basic, to be honest. All
these episodes in terms of like the story and the
writing quality. A lot of it does feel like written
by people who don't play video games, but they they
think this is what video games are like in terms
of some of the dialogue, which is slightly cringe, I suppose.
But animation is great. I mean, the Splunky episode is
all along with the Seafoo episode very much have like
an arcane art style. Took them. That's cool PlayStation episode.
It's just fun to see a lot of those characters
with this animation style. Uh and uh, yeah, this Seafoo
episodes was good. I like the story of that one.
Another another short, shortened sweet episode there, but it's decent.
I don't think I'm gonna watch the whole thing. I
think I'm just gonna pick my preferred episodes out of there,
like I'll check out the pac Man and meg Man one.
And yeah, I don't think it was in our news
round up that the show is officially confirmed for season two,
So I'm curious how much of that it's gonna be,
like any sequel work on some of the things they
establish here, Like I'd love to get us another Splunky episode,
of course, or if it's just gonna be checking out
new ip I'm sure it'll be mostly that. But yeah,
cool that that show has already got approved for a
second season. I hope it'll be fun to see kind
of what game is get featured in. I don't know,
two or three years. Whenever that comes out, I'm sure
it's gonna be wild. But that's really it for me,
not watching much else.
Speaker 5: Nice.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know, I'm I. I feel like I didn't
even really know about that show until you told me
about it, and then I really I just didn't look
further into it, didn't realize the episode length, didn't see
like what some of them.
Speaker 3: Were longer propertly, Like we talked about Outer Worlds and
game wards. There's an Outer World's episode that's like twenty
minutes long, so that one's quite a bit longer. But
then yeah, Seafood and spoiln You were both like five
six minutes, like if you take the credit, So kind
of varies depending on the context. There's also a D
and D episode, which.
Speaker 5: I'm pre cool like that one. Yeah, I like the
idea of it.
Speaker 4: So just getting more seasons, you know, potentially different games
and worlds that they're pulling from.
Speaker 5: So that's cool. It will get a good Halo show.
Speaker 3: We'll see, Oh that could be cool.
Speaker 4: Oh what if I've been watching I feel like I
kind of spoiled a bunch of my answers. You know,
we did a great after nine on the weekend kind
of talked about I was, yeah, I just did dress
Spark three because of Taylor.
Speaker 5: Remind me about it.
Speaker 4: But Craven and then Maddie and the Discord reminded me
that that actor as well out of sandro Is in
The Brutalist, that three hour movie that we covered the trailer.
I was really hot on it. But yeah, we're kind
of discussing that it seems like it's an oscar oriented movie,
and it's nice that it's a recess movie. So I
would imagine that's in all theaters you get a little
halfway break. Because I don't ever walk away from a
movie that's currently playing. I feel like I'm just stubborn
in that sense. I don't want to miss anything, don't
want to miss any shitty dialogue in with the movies bad.
Speaker 5: I just sit there. I just don't want You've.
Speaker 3: Never just had like an emergency bladder situation it had
to walk.
Speaker 4: Out, not in recent memory, like maybe as a kid,
but yeah, I and I've had to go. But I'm
just like, okay, well here we go just gonna have
bladder infection.
Speaker 3: For hold it this long.
Speaker 4: It's worth it, but it's definitely not always worth it anyways.
So yeah, I watched Dress Park three holds up. Great movie.
Speaker 5: I like it. It's cheesy and corny, and you know,
I went.
Speaker 3: Off about the Raptor already. I won't bring that up again.
Speaker 5: But Doctor Alan Grant is just so good. He's so
just good.
Speaker 4: And it's a shame that Laura Dern isn't more in
that movie, because she's really good too, even in like
the short scenes that she is in. You want to
add anything in there, mister huff and.
Speaker 2: Puffin, No, no, no, just think about rafters.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I also watched Top Gun Maverick. I fucking love that
movie so much. It is so great. It's got me
in the fighter yet mood. And then beyond that, yeah,
it's you know, it's pretty boring, just kind of continuing
around with the parks and rec for whatever amount of
rewatch it is for me right now. And it's just
such a great show. Oh my gosh, it's it's so fantastic.
Speaker 3: And she started a new Netflix show.
Speaker 4: I don't even know what the name is, but I've
seen a little bit of it, so I won't really
comment on it, but it's pretty cool. Got some cool
animation in there. I don't really know anything else other
than that.
Speaker 3: But you though we don't know the name. Yeah, sure
you're talking.
Speaker 4: About so, yeah, I'm scratching for some what we've been watching.
Speaker 5: But it's been pretty right.
Speaker 2: Oh what have I gotten up to? I did Red One,
that's the Chris Evans and Duey Johnson movie, and I
wasn't I was apprehensive when Travis was kind of shitting
all over it and the discord, which got the discord.
But once I started like watching it and I thought,
oh my god, like this is freaking this is pretty cool.
I'm actually really enjoying this and the kind of universe
they've set up with this with this movie, it's a
lot of fun. Yes, the CGI is definitely not the
most greatest thing in the entire world, but I think
that overall it was a It was a fun movie,
and I actually would recommend it to some people to watch.
So it's free on Prime I guess, not really free,
but available there to stream.
Speaker 3: So was it as good as Oppenheimer or what are
we doing?
Speaker 4: You know?
Speaker 2: If I saw it in imax, then I could give
you a proper answer. But fortunately my little fifty inch TV,
you know, four K is just not the same. I guess.
Other than that, I had the other day a brief
period of about four hours with no wife or child,
and I just was like, like, you know what what
am I gonna do with this time? And I put
Yellowstone on because the new season came back and it's
the final season, and I thought, you know what, it's
been about five weeks since it started, because yeah, it
started it for like first of November, I think it returned,
and I didn't watch any episodes. So thought, okay, you
know what, I'm behind on some of my shows. Let's
just let do this. And man, I made I was
in the cowboy mood, so I took I ran out
of olive oil. So I put my frying pan down
and I just took a big stick of butter, threw
it on there. I cut up some big, thick, like
one inch slices of ham, threw it on there, fried
them up on there, through the just cracked the eggshell
through the eggs on there. Just had this rich ripe
cowboy breakfast. Oh my god. And then I just put
The Yellowstone on I was just, oh, it was great.
Four episodes. Wow, im four episodes in and yeah, that show.
It's it's rough because this is the back half of
season five where Kevin Costner opted out where he wanted
to make his his horie movie.
Speaker 5: And it's putting it kindly.
Speaker 2: They did what they could, and they've done the best
that they can with such an important character being removed
from the show. But I've been seeing people say that
they're really upset with the finale and how things end,
and that kind of worries me. I've enjoyed the first
few episodes so far, but I am really concerned about
the ending because this show is just held the bar
so fricking high. But if it ends poorly, the people
are saying, that's going to be pretty so crushing. But
I've got like the eighteen eighty eight and the nineteen
was it twenty eight? There's a bunch of other prequel
shows with Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford and all those
other great actors and actresses. So a lot of other
stuff in that universe that I'm excited to get into
as well. But yeah, that's pretty much all I'm watching.
I guess Modern Family as well. For these the background.
Speaker 3: Notes, I'm sure all the reviewers are people who were
just putting the finale. If they had watched it along
with a big pot of buttered eggs and ham, I'm
sure they would have enjoyed it a lot more. So
maybe that's the key. Maybe all reviewers should be four
to eat that meal while they watch anything.
Speaker 2: It was very lethargic and not fully conscious, just like
just even if you wanted to stop watching, you just
can't physically move, can't. Just so much better. So we
got our first patron question here that I'm gonna slide
in in honor of the holiday season. What's your favorite
Christmas movies? Would you like to see get a legacy sequel?
And what would you want the basic plot to be?
This is courtesy of Mike's Bad Mic.
Speaker 3: Very good. Uh. I think I don't know why they
haven't done yet. I don't know why they have not
brought back mcaulay culkin for a new home alone movie.
I feel like he has been kind of back in
the scene. I don't think I've seen him anything recently,
but I feel like I just see news articles and
whatnot that he's back doing stuff. And I don't know,
people are people are a big fan of him again,
seems like he's doing well in his life and all that,
and I feel like it's time. Let's do it. Let's
get that trilogy ironed out here. Let's forget about all
the other homelones that exist. I know there was a
new one like two years ago, but let's just get one.
Bring them back. He's an adult now. I don't know
how you set him up so he's home alone and
he's like unable to get help in a meaningful way
than setting traps in a house. But I don't know,
maybe he's maybe he's like an art collector and he
has to like defend his house from these art thieves.
You definitely got to bring back Harry and Marv of
course as well, even though Joe Peschi's like he retired acting,
but he came back for like The Irishman, so I'm
sure he'd come back for Home Alone three. The script's
good enough, good enough, And I also don't know, like, okay,
if he's like living alone as an adult, I feel
like part of the story would be that he's.
Speaker 2: His family left.
Speaker 3: Alone so much, and even though they reconciled I feel
like he still would be pretty separate from them as
an adult. So I don't know how you bring in
some of those family characters, like maybe they're coming to
say at his house, that's the twist, and then they
get on the wrong flight and then all of them
end up in the wrong spot. I don't know how
you would intertwine with the story, but I definitely want
to see that. I think I kind of think it's inevitable.
I don't know if I'm assuming a lot there, maybe
not Joe Peshy, but like the rest of them, I
feel like very well could happen, And I don't know
if it works without Joe Peshian. Maybe you really need
that trilogy that trifective characters rather, but I think I would.
I would love to see that. I think they should
definitely definitely do that, and I think people would. I
think people would eat that up, people would go to
the theater for that.
Speaker 5: I think I completely agree with you. I think it's
a great idea to bring back the OG.
Speaker 4: You could even do like some crazy like dramatic spin
where it's like he like, like what's his name, Kevin,
He's got like serious just like trauma from like the
events that he went through, like not even necessarily Mark
Harry and Marv, but like The Bird Lady, like you
could like just just make it like a doctor's sleep
type movie.
Speaker 3: I think he was friends with the Bird Lady again,
but I was terrified of her.
Speaker 5: I got bad vies for her. But I think I
think what you pitch.
Speaker 4: Was a lot more likely and probably would be the
better movie than what I'm kind of crafting in my
weird head. But uh I, I that's one I would
really want it to be good. If it did come out,
Like if it's really bad and it's kind of like
an Anchorman two situation or Zoolander two, like those sequels
that just come out much later and they don't capture,
uh like the same magic what the originals did. I
think that would be pretty devastating, especially if you got
like Joe Peshi back and the other lad that of
course I don't know his name.
Speaker 3: I don't, I don't. I don't feel like that would
tarnish home, like I don't think when I'd be watching
it every year over Christmas, I'd be like, oh man,
I can't believe they made it. Like that's the same
thing in Anchorman. Now it's been long enough that the
second one came out, I kind of just forget it
exists and I can still just go back and enjoy
the first one. So yeah, I think they should. They
should at least try let you go.
Speaker 4: I think I'll transition into my pick then because I
similar type of idea of like something that is near
and dear to my heart.
Speaker 5: And if they ever did.
Speaker 4: A sequel, I feel I feel like it could make
sense if they do it, but I would just be
thinking about those possibilities of it being really disappointing, just
really devastating. Would be an Elf sequel, I think, especially
Will Ferrell, I feel like I feel like he would
do it. I feel like he would don that that
Moniker again and basically be the same character. I mean,
he did a Ferman too, and I don't think he
is the issue like with those projects, well with that
specific one and then potentially what this would be. But
uh yeah, I I it's one of those things though,
a lot like it'll never meet what the original one was,
but I think it could be a really good, charming
sequel and not just trying to remake it, but just
building upon it and growing into a nice legacy sequel,
So I think that would be my pick.
Speaker 5: That or Eyes Wide.
Speaker 4: Shut, because that's my classic Christmas movie, Get Cruise Back,
Get Kidman.
Speaker 2: Geez, what a pitch.
Speaker 3: Listening there is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's so many Christs that I kind of forget
that they do have sequels, like Jingle all the way.
I think that there's a sequel to that. What else
is there?
Speaker 5: Like Arnie that movie?
Speaker 2: Yes, I think there's like a low key, like crappier
animated Yeah, Larry the Cable Guy, Larry the Cable Guy. Okay,
Arnie's Arnie's not back, No, no, no, no, that was his
his one and done. But yeah, there's there's a few
possibilities in here. I think I would kind of like
to see a Polar Express sequel, but maybe just redo
it where they all don't look like they're blind in
the movie, because there's just it's a very better animation.
Speaker 5: Don't like that movie, We've like again.
Speaker 2: I listened to the score all the time because it's
such a great movie. But you know, we were talking about
a one. It's a Wonderful Life on After nine. Maybe
a sequel to that, But I don't know how you
really do a sequel to something like that for a
movie Love actually two and you could do something fun
with that With another one of those, Christmas Vacation had
a sequel, and I don't think that did very well
at all. I remember that being in the Target lunch
room that you could play it the DVD player in there,
but no one ever played it because it was.
Speaker 4: Is that not one though, that like came out around
the time of the first Like it wasn't that long afterwards,
or was it actually like decades later, because I knew
that there was like at least two of those, but
I just assumed that it was like within a decade
that they released. But maybe I'm a little mistaken because
I only really remember the first movie.
Speaker 2: The first one was nineteen eighty nine, and the second one,
which is Cousin Eddie, was two thousand and three, so
at least a decade, okay, like fourteen years. So yeah,
it was like, yeah, but you know what, maybe like
our Rise of the Guardians too, some one of those
animated films that'd be kind of fun. I liked Rise
of the Guardians. I haven't seen it for a while though.
The Rise of the Guardians mm hmmm, It's like with
Jack Frost and you got all the other, uh, all
the other holiday icons. I like movies with all the icons.
That's why Santa Claus two is my favorite, because you
get like the toy Soldiers, the fake Santa, but even
you get to see like the Council of Mystics. I
can't remember their name, but you get the Easter Bunny,
Tooth Fairy, sand Man, and Mother Nature, all those characters.
So I'm a sucker for that kind of stuff. Yeah,
anything else you guys want to throw out there before
we Sally Forth, that's Sally. That's Sally. Okay. Well, we
have a very very big, number one topic today to discuss,
and that is the fact that Superman the James Gunn
Project is going to be dropping a trailer on Thursday,
which there may be some additional coverage happening, but for today,
we got a poster, we got the sounds track score,
and we got a bunch of details on the story
of the project that's going to be unfolding, and we're
going to be covering all of that and sharing it.
So first things first is I'm going to just pull
up this poster here so you guys can see it
because I put it into it here. Okay, I don't
know have you guys seen it already?
Speaker 4: I believe I've seen the image. I haven't listened to
the sounds. Actually, is that cruel?
Speaker 5: I was gonna just.
Speaker 3: Wait till the trailer. Yeah, when you said theme, I
thought you meant like the theme of the movie was announced, like,
not like the sound.
Speaker 2: Well, they dropped the basic theme. And funny enough because
Kevin Faigy and Marvel dropped the Fantastic four score that
same day, So there's a little bit of like rivalry
kind of going on.
Speaker 3: The lowest stakes rivalry of all time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so he's the first buster.
Speaker 4: Oh no, is this what you and and Travis were
hiding from me? And then you're like, oh, show it
to the one cast. Okay, that's we may have been
giggling about that.
Speaker 2: That's good. It's funny.
Speaker 3: I like the more you look at it, the easier
it is to see.
Speaker 5: It's just it feels like it gets more.
Speaker 2: It's just so subtle. But anyways, yet check out the
YouTube version. So with this first kind of look and
the breakdown here, I'm gonna just kind of like bullet
point these points for you guys, because we'll basically get
into this conversation about it. So James gun He came
forward and he basically shared these details. So the first
note here is that this is starting in the middle
of action. The movie is gonna have Lewis and Clark
already knowing each other. Lex Luthor already hates Superman. The
flying action is shot with drones and is inspired by
Top Gun. Maverick mentioned there Kirkland and they're not aiming
to set up other projects, and I quote, fuck, it
is what James Gunn used. And mister Terrific has a
big role in the film. And lastly, David korn Sweat
influenced the decision to trunks. Superman wants kids to not
be afraid of him. He is an alien with incredible powers,
so he dresses like professional wrestler.
Speaker 5: Discuss I. I like the reasoning.
Speaker 4: I feel like it's a weird thing for him to
be pushing for the trunks, but yeah, it looks like
a wrestler.
Speaker 3: I like it.
Speaker 5: It feels vintage to.
Speaker 4: Me because I feel like the old superhero costumes are
very wrestler like, and it's probably due to the fact
that early wrestlers were trying to be superheroes, so you know,
like that's why in my mind it just gets affiliated
to wrestling. But I feel like the idea of it
not being linked to any projects, I think it's kind
of bullshit. I feel like, if this is a really
billion dollar movie, like you're gonna be seeing Superman in everything,
like DC Collaborative at least that they can do, like
any opportunity to have a super team together. I imagine
you would have that guy on there if he's given
you a billion dollar movie, which I don't know, we're not,
we have to predictions or anything like that, but I
definitely think that's possible for this movie.
Speaker 5: I mean, Aquaman one did it, wonder Woman did it?
Speaker 4: Like I feel like this new Superman, especially if it's
just getting positive buzz about the theme. I mean, I
haven't really been I'm not like an ex guy or
Twitter guy whatever we're calling it these days, so like,
I don't really know what the general vibe of people's
reactions of it is, but at least from what I've heard,
it's pretty positive. And yeah, so I think that it
would be linking to something. I just don't think it's
going to be like like an end credit of like
a Sinister six Revealer, you know, like and of course
that's Marvel, but yeah, like just how like at the
end of maybe Spider Man, when it's walking and they're
like assembling a team, Like I don't think it would
be anything like that, but I it's hard for me
to just say, like, nah, it's not going to be
attached to anything, but who knows, maybe maybe I'll be
surprised and really is feeling kind of like a Batman thing. Well,
even then, Batman kind of leaves breadcrumbs of what's to follow,
and we've now had a show that's come out of it,
so it's definitely linked to something.
Speaker 5: But what was the other thing that you said? I
can't remember you that.
Speaker 2: The uh fucking Flying is shot with drones that know
each other.
Speaker 4: Top Gun MAV I mean, I love Top Gun of nostalgia,
but I feel like I don't even want to watch
that movie anymore because of just.
Speaker 5: How good Tapka Maverick is.
Speaker 4: Like I I watched that, I strap in, I put
on my flight suit, and I'm just I'm just ready
to go on this adventure. So I'm ready for like
a modern superhero movie that doesn't just feel CGI.
Speaker 2: So yeah, and how do you feel about uh? I
guess just starting in the middle of action and the
yeah what did I say there? The not? I guess
the fuck it was not aiming to set up other projects.
Speaker 4: But yeah, terrific as well, mister Terrific. I think that's interesting.
But I don't really have any affiliation of that character, so.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I really don't know, because I don't know if he's
a c rate villain. I don't know if he's a
villain that's more important than Zod. Like I, I don't
know what this guy is. He's got a very basic name,
and I hope he's not a very basic character. I'll
give you his powers Google can't stamina. That's my prediction
on one of them.
Speaker 3: Well, he is a skilled athlete mar artists, so that
kind of the same difference. I don't know what half
of these mean, Okay, genius level intellect, okay, cool, sure,
I've seen that before. Rich efficient scientist, engineer, and physician,
So I don't know what this means though, use of
tea spheres, the tea spheres and then also invisibility to technology,
so I guess like cameras can't capture pictures of him.
Maybe I don't know. I don't know what these things mean.
So that's like a stealth bomber. He doesn't show up
on radar.
Speaker 4: Maybe that's yeah, because he probably flies. Oh no, he
just went through his powers. He doesn't fly unless there's
Z spheres. You just said tea spheres.
Speaker 3: I don't know, Yeah, I don't know what the Apparently
he's a gold medal winning Olympic athlete, so that's quite
like it, like classic, The accidental deaths of his wife
an unborn child were a devastating blow to hold.
Speaker 2: Okay, yep, that'll do it.
Speaker 3: Sad, that'll set you down a dark road.
Speaker 5: Yeah, mister terrific, that'll make you choose that name.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: No, he's so. He sounds highly depressed and really smart,
and he's invisible to technology.
Speaker 4: So his kid hard counter. You're not picking with his
kid into that matchup.
Speaker 2: It looks like the T spears can there's self propelled flight.
They can form a laser grid between the spheres, create holograms.
They can record, They have sensors linked to computers and
data communication, manipulating other electronic devices from satellites to electronic locks.
Be used as a weapon by flying into things, bombs
and electrical charges.
Speaker 3: There's a little bit of a mysterio type to them,
but more depressed, I guess.
Speaker 5: And not so much a trick.
Speaker 4: They seem more lethal, right, Mysterio is more of like true, Yeah,
a mirage, where's this guy? Will probably blow you up
with his T spheres? I would imagine, Yeah, I bombs,
It's terrific.
Speaker 3: Yeah, seems it seems like interesting, Like I guess because
we already know Lex Luthor's in there, so I don't know,
is this kind of like the Act one villain that
you take down real quick kind of thing? I think
that would make sense if we're I mean, I guess
for me, Like, the best part of this is what
you said there, Taylor, of kind of getting right into
the action, that these characters know each other, that le
already hates Superman. Like, I think that's the best sign
to me, Like, Okay, cool, we're gonna get to skip
past some of the origin story stuff hopefully and just
kind of get right into it.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 3: That's not really what I expected because they did say
that this is you know, this is a younger version
of Superman, and that's why they didn't want to continue
with Cavil, they wanted to do something fresh here, So
I kind of expected that to mean that they were
gonna do origin story stuff. And you know, this movie
is still gonna introduce the character, so I'm sure there's
gonna be a little bit of that, And you can
of course go through that with like flashbacks too, I suppose,
so even though it's like, Okay, all these things in
the current time already established, you can flash back to
those things. Hopefully not, though I hope we really do,
as as you said, They're really get into the action
right away, because I'm just I'm just tired of origin
stories and Superman is a character is one that I
generally find kind of boring. Sorry DC fans, I'm not
a huge fan of the character, but I think this
is a good way for me to potentially be more
invested from the get gos if we don't feel like
we're spinning wheels for forty five minutes, to just like
get into the meat and potatoes of the movie, and
if you already have some of this stuff set up
and it's like you don't need to explain a reason
Whylex Luthor hate Superman like we can just accept that
that's a thing that would be happening, and then you know,
justify it to set up the big villainous battle for
later on. So I don't know. I think all these
these things that I'm hearing are good signs. The drone part,
like sure, seems cool in concept, but it's like, okay,
they're just comparing it to Top Gun Maverick and one
of the most successful movies the last five years. Like sure, Okay,
people do that all the time. You know, it's a good,
good marketing beat. I don't know. Do I believe that
it's gonna lead to more cool looking flying I don't know.
We'll have to wait and see, But I don't know.
I think for the most part, these are some pretty
good science and I guess the last thing I'll add
in here is the not aiming to set up other
projects with this, I think is a plus. I think
given the uphill battle that they have here, and given that,
like the funding at WB is still not great, like
at any moment, this universe could get pulled, like they
get pulled out from under a I think it's good
to just like just make one really great movie standalone.
You could easily connect Superman to other characters later, especially
if you're doing TV shows and animated stuff like, you
could find ways to make those connections if you need to.
But I think for the sake of this, yeah, just
make one movie. Sure you can throw a post credit
in there if you want, that's easy and cheap. But yeah,
I think for the sake of this, like, just focus
on making one good, great standalone movie and see how
it does if people eat it up. Make the second
one have more ties to a greater universe. But don't
you know, don't get ahead of yourself. Just take it
one step at a time.
Speaker 2: Well said, ah, yeah, I'm I'm looking forward to seeing
how this is going to play out with him already
being here. He's already on Earth, and I feel like
we're gonna get a little bit of that kind of
James gun not James Gunn, the Snyder Man is Steel
kind of vibe where he's already on Earth, he's already
doing things. But I guess this is going a step
further because in that movie, he's he's doing things, he's
say people, and then you have kind of like a
mixture between like the present and then going back into
his history and his origin a little bit, and I'm wondering,
are we going to get that at all? I don't know.
So here we're just gonna have him already in the
thick of it. He's already gonna be working as a reporter,
and he's gonna be he already knows Lois. So there's
a lot of things here that I feel like haven't
necessarily been done before, and especially just kind of already
throwing us into the mix of it. But at the
end of the day, I'm just curious how far in
are we actually going? How many years has he been
dotting the cape and the suits. So I think that's
gonna be a lot of fun to see someone that's
already kind of gone through the gone through the whole
thing already, and people are already aware of him and
all that jazz. But using drones to get some of
the action shots. I think that's great. Technology. Is really
kind of like skyrocketed these past few years. Mister terrific. Yeah,
I've never heard of him before, so very interesting character
with those tea spheres and his enhanced sta I'm gonna
as an Olympic.
Speaker 3: Athlete, a gold medalist.
Speaker 2: Gold medalist, Yes, yes, no, no less. Uh so, yeah,
not sitting up with the projects. I think that's a
good thing. Just keep it as a small, self contained
story and then allow other projects that you do following
this one to build off of that and uh reaffirm
this movie as its own great thing. It's it's kind
of like when you watch that first iron Man movie,
that first four Well I shouldn't say that, because those
movies do a lot of setting up for other universes
or it's just I guess the main universe. It would
be a good example of something like, well, iron Man one,
not really right, not really, I guess because one is
Fury at the end in a post creditor. He is
in the post feel like that's not really.
Speaker 3: Part of the movie. That's more just like the the
very tail end of it, right when you get Black
Widow and you kind of do more of that stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so maybe I'll use that for the example. Then, yeah,
you have iron Man, which self contained story in that
first Iron Men movie, and then if you look at
something like the first Avengers movie, that movie is it
builds off of what that first movie had created for itself,
but it's just it's bringing the character in bring other characters,
and so I think that's what this will benefit from,
just having its own self contained thing, because when you
start to just dig too deep and just go too crazy,
like I can't. They did way too much too fast
with Aquaman and Justice League and then the Snyer kind
of Justice League, all these different things, and it just
felt like there's so much promise here with different projects.
I actually perfect example, Shazam No Sorry, Black Adam, God
damn it Black Adam, and they bring in Henry Cavill's
Man of Steel at the end. It's like, Okay, now
that's where you need to be very careful because it
was this is like them, you know, bringing it back
and we're getting into this all over again, and then
they just can it. So you gotta be careful with that.
And I think James Gunn he's very aware of that,
and he knows to play it, say I and play
it close. And I think this movie is gonna do
very very well. So I think, uh, start off small
and then go from there. There's a couple other details
that will quickly round off here. It will not feature
a soundtrack like Guardians. It's almost purely a score, which
that is fantastic. It's going to be inspired by both
Donner and Snyder. It's not to not be a film
dedicated to setting up the whole universe, not a comedy
like Guardians or The Suicide Squad.
Speaker 3: Just A plus sounds good to me.
Speaker 4: B plus B plus you wanted to be a comedy,
I want some comedy and there I want some some
slapstick humor that takes me out of the whole event. Specifically,
you want I want to laugh track and they want
on a banana peel. I want, I want some no
sleep till Brooklyn or we need a hero to.
Speaker 2: This first flight in the movie.
Speaker 4: The best movie to do to use that must be
Shrek too, because I feel like that's early stages of
like that song being used in movies, and it's a
great scene when they're just pop it off.
Speaker 2: But it is a good scene.
Speaker 3: Answer that was the formula that everyone else copied.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, totally.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, I think that kind of wraps it up.
And like I said, we will try and do some
sort of Superman trailer coverage on the Thursday or Friday
or something like that. But yeah, just stay tuned because
it's a lot going on. Uh, so we're gonna jump
to our first.
Speaker 4: I retac to s bubs question our great patre s Bubs,
My god, s Bubs.
Speaker 5: Sorry, I couldn't think of a smooth way to interject
you there, So that was the smooth I.
Speaker 3: Did the Michael Scott.
Speaker 4: Yes, and then of course I don't drop it on
me the question, right, I got here for Superman, s
Bubs quoting this for Superman. What's one thing you'd want
to see be part of the movie. Can be a character,
a moment, anything, just one thing for each of you
that would boost the movie for you.
Speaker 3: Discuss yeah, as not a huge DC or Superman guy
in general. I don't know if I have an like,
I don't know if I have a deep cut character.
Pick something like mister terrific. That is kind of the fun,
kind of weird poll that I would like to see.
And I think to have a character that I don't
know is a good one. So I think that like
that's maybe one of my answers. The other would be
just like, I think it's kind of hard to reduce
this sound to a moment, as s bub said, but
like I want to, Yeah, I want to skip past
the origin story stuff. I want to get into the
meat and potatoes, so I feel like, I mean, I'm
not really that excited for this movie at all. We'll
see what happens when this trailer drops and we need
a hero is in the in the trailer a song like,
maybe I'll get hyped because I'm just not into this
kind of stuff. But I you know, James Gunn has
made a bunch of great movies that I really enjoy,
so I'm open to it. The kick of the Universe
other than Creature Commando, I guess the soft launch Creature Commando.
So yeah, I honestly, I think for me that it
would be kind of things that we just covered, which
is pretty lucky and cool. So hopefully the trailer lands
pretty successfully for me here and doesn't just trip on
a banana peel made of kryptonite.
Speaker 4: And it's funny for Creature Commandos. Like I'm liking the show.
I think it's fantastic, but it feels like like a
mobile game release in comparison to what Superman is, where
Superman's like the Big Sony Triple A, like big you know,
Naughty Dog, They're coming back, Like That's That's how it
feels for me.
Speaker 2: At least.
Speaker 4: And for me, what would make this movie great? To
narrow it down to one thing, I saw that what
was it? Lex Luthor's already kind of grouchy towards Superman.
He's a grievance with him at the start of the film.
I want Lex to be not necessarily like a good guy,
but maybe like more misunder stood than like what certain
people are seeing him as. And like I want it
to be like a total realistic or rational reason why
he's hating Superman, because I feel like, especially in the
Christopher Reeve like titles, he's just like a goofy like
mustache toor le Villain, And I feel like I just
have a lot of nostalgic for that specific performance by
like Gene Hackman and just.
Speaker 5: That era of that character. So I love it for.
Speaker 4: That reason, but I don't want that again, like and
I feel like, well, I was gonna say, like the
other version that the Spaceman did, it's pretty much just
trying to be Gene Hackman again, which makes sense because
it literally a Superman returns the exact same universe, so
that makes sense.
Speaker 3: But now that we're in a new universe.
Speaker 4: I guess I kind of forgot about Jesse Eisenberg as well.
That's a bit of a different version, but yeah, I
want it to be almost like where I'm not gonna
say like a Fanos level villain, but how like Thanos,
you hate the guy, but you like understand where he's
coming from. I want to feel that with Lex Luthor,
because I feel like many times with this character, he's
just he is that like cartoony.
Speaker 5: I hate Superman.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna bring him.
Speaker 5: Down no matter what. And I want this to be
like a super different take on it. And yeah, you.
Speaker 2: Heard it here.
Speaker 3: Kirkland is the guy who wrote Thanos was right in
the Bathroom self and whatever movie that was, I was
gonna bring up Joker. I was like, you know, a Joker.
Speaker 4: Sometimes you're feeling like bad for him, but I'm like,
that guy's just like as a whole another bag of worms.
I don't know if i'd make the vote that I'm
on his teeth.
Speaker 2: It's worms.
Speaker 3: It's just a bag of worm.
Speaker 4: Yet a like brown bag too, so it's just leaking through.
Speaker 2: Something that would boost the movie app for me. Eh
character moment, I think I would just take one of
those like classic lines like how does he put it like,
technically speaking, it's still the safest way to travel, like
some of it with a plane or a flying or
something like that. That's cute to me. That feels like
a classic. Just drop more of those kind of like
innocent Clark Kent phrases from the you know, I'm assuming
he says those in the comic books. I've never read
any Menace Steel Superman compooks myself. I should be ashamed
of myself, But just a lot of those lines that
were in the original read film, I just think that
they're they just have a very humbling, innocent, hopeful kind
of perspective to them. So I would like to see
a little bit more of that kind of come through
because I don't feel like we necessarily got that in
the Henry Cavell Again, Henry Cavill was a great Superman,
but it was very uh, I mean, he was dark,
and he was angry and ah and shirtless and shirtless. Yeah,
just just shredded. Did I miss anything else? Or should
we continue on here?
Speaker 3: I'll allow you to move on.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take our first. Abrek will be right back
and we are back. So, ladies and gentlemen, we got
another topic here that we're going to be getting into.
Oh my goodness, we're just full of topics tonight. Our
next one is sticking in to the DC Realm. However,
a Clayface movie is officially confirmed for the DCU, releasing
in twenty twenty six. Discuss I love it.
Speaker 3: This is so exciting for me.
Speaker 4: I feel like I didn't really care much about clay
Face until like literally this year. I would imagine, like
Travis and I did Kpe Crusader and the version of Clayface.
There was really really intriguing to me. Really like that character,
and like I remember him from the Arkham Game, but
like not really he's just kind of just kind of
a baddie.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So yeah, I really like this, especially coming off of Penguin.
And of course, like there was a character that we
were talking about is somewhat maybe loosely related to Clayface.
So I think that we were getting some you know,
cookie crumbs around that Now we're getting this. It's like,
oh man, I trust that they actually have something planned
for this character, and maybe something that they've been cooking on.
I don't know, just not necessarily they have full on
script already, but just like I feel like they see
where it could fit really well in certain aspects of
things that they've already covered. I know, like the Batman
is a little bit it's kind of a gray area
right now with the overall advancement of the DC because
it was, you know, picked up when James Gun and
team took over. But I mean, Penguin did really well,
obviously the Batman did really well. So I'm liking just
this this focus maybe going forward with the clay Face movie,
and the fact that it's like a whole movie too,
is I don't know, like part of me is intrigued
about the idea of them being so confident that they
have something solid to put it on the big screen
and they think it's gonna be like really popular or
at least make a profit. Like I think I would
love to see like a really great standalone clay Face
movie on the big screen, But I also just feel
like it's potentially safer slash easier to do it in
a TV series. I mean, the Penguin show that just
came up was absolutely fantastic, really really well made, So
if it's something like that, I'm just worried it would
be like too rushed on a big screen. So maybe
that's where I'm a little bit torn in the middle
of the decision for it to be a movie. But yeah, no,
I think initially if you're asking me, like what my
initial thoughts are, yeah, just pretty pretty thumbs up for me.
Speaker 3: Pretty thumbs up. Yeah, this is interesting. I was just
pulling up the slate of things because it's hard to
remember all that stuff because this is now so long ago. Now,
like the kickoff of this universe, right, we're finally starting
to get stick pretty soon here with the trailer the
first trailer for Superman pretty soon here, but looking at
the slate, so yeah, Superman next year. The year after
that is when we get Supergirl, Woman of Tomorrow, and
then Clayface would be the next one currently on the slate,
and then I guess kicked back in priority. We could say,
is the Authority brave.
Speaker 2: In the bowl?
Speaker 3: That the Batman one and uh swamp Thing which I
kind of forgot about the swamp Thing announcement, but interesting,
like this first they're calling it Chapter one Gods and Monsters,
I guess is like Clayface and swamp Thing movies in there.
Seems interesting, So I'm really curious to see what the
budget on a movie like clay Face or a movie
like Swamp Thing will be. And maybe that's part of
the strategy here, is like, Okay, Superman, I guess you
don't have a ton of huge names in there. You're
getting some more low key actors, so maybe you can
hopefully keep that budget in a pretty respectable amount. But
maybe that's like part of the strategy here is like
the bigger blockbustery ones like Batman I would assume would
be like that too, and then like maybe some smaller
budget things like hopefully, like that's kind of what I'm
hoping for here with something like Clayface and Swamp Thing,
just for their sake, Like I feel like you got it.
You gotta be careful here how you're doing all this
stuff when you're going for some more potentially risky characters,
especially like as your third film in this In this Thing,
clay Face seems like a really bold place to go.
I also don't know much about this character, so maybe
it's an amazing place to go. Just from some quick
Google it seems like there's a lot of potential there
for a lot with the character in terms of I
don't know more hero more villain more or something in
between different angles to it. It seems like, I guess,
look looks like the writer here is Mike Flanagan, who
you know did all those like Haunting at Hillhost and
all those things for Netflix and whatnot, So it seems
like that's a great pairing. Matt Reeves is also a
producer on that that film as well, along with James
Gunn and Saffron, So I don't know, seems like they're
they're setting up for success here, but it definitely seems
like a bit of a risk. I'm excited to see
more about that because until I get like a trailer,
I feel like I don't really know too much about that.
It's very unknown quantity for me when it comes to
DC character. But it's cool.
Speaker 2: Do you guys wish that this was something that was
attached and continuing on kind of in the Robert Passion's
Batman universe like the Penguin?
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, yes, very much.
Speaker 3: So.
Speaker 4: I feel like it fits the tone so well with
like what my perception of the character is because I
feel like the Cape Crusader vibe is similar to that,
where it's just very like dour I mean, the Batman
universe is kind of always that way. Maybe not like
the Burton ones like from the nineties eighties where they're
just kind of goofy, but yeah, I think it fits
so well there. I mean, I was already talking about
the character who like, I don't think it's a big
relation in the sense of like it's a big pairing
of like Clayface in this character, but they were somewhat
related to it, so I just felt like it fits
really well.
Speaker 2: So yes, cool, Yeah, I'm I'm actually really really excited
for this. I think that there is a a real cool,
horrifying experience to have from a movie like this, because
it's just such a terrifying villain and like flying in
the Goat, I think that I've I don't remember if
clay Face was in the Arkham games. You played them recently,
Lee Dylan. I think I.
Speaker 3: Played the first the first one, I played a bit
of City.
Speaker 5: He was in the city.
Speaker 3: I did not play City.
Speaker 4: Is the one I played in. I'm pretty sure he's
in there, but I'm a double check.
Speaker 2: I just remember playing on Game Boy Vance the Batman
Rises since You game, and there was a clay Faced
boss battle and it was just like it was wild.
Speaker 3: Is he kind of like Sandman in his powers?
Speaker 2: I'd say it's very similar to Sandman, but he can.
Speaker 3: More like he can also transform to other people kind of.
Speaker 2: Like mystique or apparently. Yes, that's I believe that's right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I just so, Yes he is.
Speaker 5: He is an Arkham City.
Speaker 4: And it's interesting because, like I I remember him in
that game specifically being like a Sandman type character, big
just yeah, sand gollum looking thing. But in the Cape
Crusader show, it's very different where it's all about him
kind of taking the persona of other people and it's
like there's a murderer. So it feels very street level
in that sense. So seemed like a pretty flexible character
that they can do definitely some different things with I
now that I've been more exposed to like that side
of it with the Cape Crusader stuff, one hundred percent
that's what I'd prefer. I would prefer that way more
over just a big gollum that's, you know, like a
big brute man.
Speaker 3: But it's that's interesting. I feel like we've seen characters
like that before, but that's very that's kind of typically
a villain type character like part of why those kind
of characters work is like, as the viewer, you're not
sure who which characters are real, or who is who,
or when a character has been fooling someone in a scene.
So to have that like the flip of the perspective.
And let's say the movie is like starring and following
clay Face. Maybe that's not what it is. Maybe it's
just like that is he is the villain of the
movie and someone else is kind of leading in it.
I'm not sure that that seems like it could be
a weird angle to go at it, but something different.
So obviously it must have been a pretty good screen
screenplay for them to green light it and give it
the go ahead.
Speaker 2: Yeah uh so, Now, Dylan, you mentioned a few of
those other projects, and that's actually one of their topic
talking points. Here is for DC films slated for twenty
twenty six, and clay Face is officially one of these, right.
Speaker 3: Along with super Girl. Then what would be the other ones,
because I mean, on this list i'm looking at it
doesn't have dates for anything else. But I assume I
guess Authority and Brave Them in the bold would be
the next ones on the chart. Yes, and there's or
I guess, are we including Batman two in that four?
I guess right?
Speaker 2: And well, that's actually the highlight of this of this
point here is because it is included. But is it
gonna get booted? Right? Because we've got all these other
DC projects that have kind of been taken over the
cinemas here.
Speaker 3: So well, I think because another one of the movies
that's upcoming is Braving the Bold, another Batman thing, and
so I feel like they should try their hardest to
separate those movies by at least like a full year,
I would think. I mean, people love Batman, people will
go there's a lot of people would go see two
Batman movies in a year. But I do think that's
gonna shrink your market the closer you put those together,
especially if someone sees, like, let's say Batman two is
about to release, but like the Brave of the Bold
trailers already out there and people are watching, They're like,
you know what, I'd rather go see this other one
with Glenn Powell as Batman. Like I don't want to
go see Batman two. That could be risky. So I like,
maybe Batman two gets a delay just in terms of
like within the same year, like a month or two, like,
just to have better release date balance for the for
the DC calendar. But I think they would be a
mistake one if they just keep kicking that back. I mean,
Penguin's very hot right now, and the longer you leave that,
the more people are Gonn kind of forget about and
move on. And then Batman one came out like well
like seventeen years ago. Now it's been so long ago,
like it feels like forever ago. So I feel like
they need to put double time on that, make sure
it gets out and then but I think the biggest
part of that is, yeah, separate from the other Batman
movie that's coming, so hopefully, hopefully it doesn't get a
meaningful delay, just gets like a consequential like month or
two delay, just to line up their calendars better.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think I've said this before many times that
James Gunn he is prioritizing his universe first. And I
think you have things already in motion, like the Penguin
Show and like Matt Reeves Batman and so those were
already out there. But again, after seeing the bad fallout
post release of Joker Faliada, James gun is probably thinking,
you know what these first ones that are hits, you know,
these sequels yet probably not great. And I don't think
he's I can.
Speaker 3: Just imagine him chewing out Matt Reeves for Joker too,
even though matt Reeves has like no connections get on
the bench.
Speaker 2: I think that at the end of the day, he
really just wants to create his Batman and set up
his little universe, even though again Superman is not supposed
to be setting up universe. It's its own thing. But
he's trying to create his own little sandbox of stuff
and this is just an outside element that he did
not create. It's not his. And so I feel again
that he's just gonna keep pushing it and pushing and
pushing it. If if a guy, if you want to
make something happen, and you're the leader and you're running
the show, then you're gonna make it happen. I mean,
he just he made the Superman movie happen again, and
he's he's putting that forward. He's done his Creature Commandos show.
He's he's making things happen. And again, if you have
the power you can move mountains, then you know you're
gonna move Mountains, you're gonna do it, and so if
we were, if he wanted to, we would get The
Batman Part two. It's all I'm saying, Well, we're not.
It's getting delayed and delayed and delayed, and I think
that's gonna come to a point where you're just you're
never gonna see this movie. And I hope that's not
the case, because I really love that first Batman movie
and I really love the Penguin, and so I hope
that they can rally together and they can make it happen,
because we deserve to get a sequel to that film,
deserve to get the trilogy, because that's how from what
I remember, things are kind of like set up in
Stage four us to be a three parter. So it
would be nice to kind of get that. But as
for the their movies that are dropping, uh yeah, I'm
I'm excited. I'm curious to see how James Gunn kind
of delivers on all these different fronts. But my excitement
out of all these projects is still gonna be just
The Batman Too, which ironically is just not a James
gun project. I mean, I guess it is now technically,
but oh, he'll slap his name all over those credits.
Speaker 3: He's gonna animate himself in the intro he does the
future Commandos.
Speaker 2: That's right.
Speaker 3: I don't know if I have anything else on this
particular topic.
Speaker 5: Just a Patreon question to address.
Speaker 2: Just a Patreon Oh yes, we don't forget those here
now from Maddie SAgs. Who would y'all cast as clayface.
Speaker 3: Kirkling, I feel like you're the biggest clay face head.
Got to have two picks in my brain.
Speaker 4: I was gonna go lastause I didn't want to accidentally
steal out one of you guys. But I'll go now
since you've focused the highlight on me.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 4: Initially my mind went will and to Foe because I
feel like he's just in just the prime of like
he's just so fantastic. Like he's not a new actor,
and I feel like he's always been great, but it
just seems like he's in so many things now, like
every year. It's just like a Willem Dafaux project. And
I think it would be a great like transition into
like going from Marvel to DC doing a character like that,
And I think he could just chew up. He could
be playing like so many different versions of his own
characters that he's played in his career, just through different
personas that he could be doing for Basil Carlo.
Speaker 5: And he's just I.
Speaker 4: Would love that, Like I'm already hyped for the thought
of getting a clay Face project. And if you tell me,
William Dafoe is leading that, God Diamn, like, sign me up.
I'm there at midnight to get my tickets, even though
we don't do that anymore. Then the other one that
I don't know, He just popped in my head recently
because I was thinking about Breaking Bad and I was
talking about this character with someone at work, and uh,
Jesse Plemmons, Dude, Jesse Plemmons. I feel like he could
be another fantastic take on a Basil Carlough, like different
to Willin Dafoe, but also not so different in like
just the oddities of I think what they bring to
the roles. And I mean that in the most positive
sense possible, Like they're just very unique in the sense
of how, oh my gosh.
Speaker 3: Help me out, lads. What's Riddler's name? What's the actor? Yeah,
Paul Dan.
Speaker 4: Also acturate, also very unique, you know, one of one,
both good pitches and both were the Riddlers, So there
you go. But yeah, I just feel like when I
see like a Paul Dano, like I just am expecting
like a like a weird role in the most positive
sense possible because I love him.
Speaker 3: So, yeah, that's your Riddler, Like, that's the Riddler that comes.
Speaker 4: Sure if he was on Family Food, you know, like,
what's what's an actor that played the Riddler that he's
hitting that right away or something?
Speaker 5: Yeah to care.
Speaker 3: Yeah, those my picks? Nice, my pick. So I didn't
mention this in what we've been watching, but this is
two or three weeks ago. I watched a Gloria's Baskets again,
which I just love. And so my pick here is
gonna be Christoph Waltz. Where's this guy been? Where's he been? Guys?
Have you seen him in anything in the last decade?
What's he up to? You know?
Speaker 4: It's probably in like a really weird heartwarming movie where
like a child actor is the role like the lead,
and then he's like a very like old like side.
Speaker 3: Why does it have to be weird? You said, a
weird heartwarming movie?
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're right, Hallmark, Hallmark.
Speaker 3: Oh I hope he's doing more than the Hallmark stuff
because he's a great actor, but I mean inglorious bastard.
I mean, this guy whips out like six different languages
in this. I'm sure he could do some accents as well,
so I feel like he could really pull I mean,
I guess with clay Face, I guess the character would
be shape shifting, so it wouldn't just be like the
same guy speaking multiple languages. But I don't know. You
can do whatever you want. It's Clayface, you know, so
I'd say go with that. Yes, maybe it's type. Guy's
name is a villain, which's which he's done, you know,
a few times before.
Speaker 2: But I don't know.
Speaker 3: I just want to see him. I I feel like
he hasn't done any superhero stuff. I feel like that's
like a realm he hasn't ventured into, and this seems
really cool, and like, I don't I would love to
see him in like a starring role, which it seems
like this would be. So I'm definitely in favor of this.
Bring Bring him back.
Speaker 2: He's got a movie releasing. It appeared to have dropped
in some film festivals twenty twenty four in October, but
it's releasing publicly in theaters twenty twenty five. It looks
like it's called Old Guy where he looks like it's
an action comedy. It looks kind of like he looks
like he's kind of got like a leading role in here.
Uh Lucy Lou Coacher Hoffman.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, yeah, you're speaking of me. You're speaking of me.
Speaker 5: Stuff does nothing for me.
Speaker 3: It's only if it's a weird, heartwarming work, it's going
to be weird.
Speaker 5: He didn't say weird in that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, who am I picking for my clay face? You
know what, I'm gonna go have your bar. Dam. I'd
love to see this guy. I've just been getting the
No Country for Old Men met memes gifts just popping up.
Speaker 3: I think you said meat and the No Country for
Old Men Meat. I also full Yellowstone.
Speaker 5: He's thinking about his next breakfast.
Speaker 2: I forgot to mention this too. There's a show called
is this called Monster? Yes, Monsters, the Lyle and Eric
Menendez Story, And I've fo earlier. Yeah, he's in there,
and I watched like two episodes in and I have
to go back and finish more of it because I'm
kind of confused if this is like when the show
actually released because I thought it was released recently, but
apparently it's not.
Speaker 3: But yeah, there's two different ones.
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, there is two different ones.
Speaker 3: Oh there's the dam one.
Speaker 4: That came out a couple of years ago, and then
now it's monsters, the Eric and Lyle or an Endos story.
Speaker 3: But then I think there was also two things about
those brothers on Netflix, like two separate.
Speaker 5: You are correct, yes, yeah, over my head.
Speaker 3: True Crime is just spewed all over Netflix. It's every
amazonly in one.
Speaker 2: Of them, and the one he's in it is like
it's it's really good. He's fantastic, he's angry, he's happy,
and it's just.
Speaker 3: The scememark of any great actor.
Speaker 2: That's right. Well, the scenes with him are just so
so tense and crazy. I think he could play a
good U, a good Clay face. I put a lot
of stock in him.
Speaker 3: Nice too, I trust it, and uh, I guess we Well,
someone else on our patron had a good suggestion here
for what they want to see, right, you can talk
about on their own podcast.
Speaker 2: Not that that he was asked, but he hadn't answered.
Speaker 3: He was not asked, But Clay says, not that you
asked me, but I would cast up to tell and
let him get weird with it. Okay, weird he used
the word weird, im un Plus we know he has
acting action shops. Definitely, Yeah, I don't know, like Perklin.
Since you're familiar with the character, do you think Dev
Pattel is a good fit for this this? Absolutely?
Speaker 4: I think Dev Patel is just such a phenomenal actor
that he could be playing so many different individuals. And
I would like to see him in that villain role
because I feel like the things I've seen him in
lately have been that hero which is so good at
but well Green Night, He's questionable at times. He does
some morality questionable things. No more, I love to pick.
Speaker 3: I mean, I feel like every fan cast we've done
in the last two years, I've put Dev in like
any role I put, I don't any time we do anything,
I put him somewhere. So I'm I'm all for it to.
Speaker 5: Have you watched Monkey Man yet?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 2: I really know it's on my last I haven't seen
it yet, but sure give it to Patel.
Speaker 5: That's the casting director. Give it to Patel.
Speaker 2: Mmmm cool? Anything else you guys have on just DC
clay face Batman two.
Speaker 3: I'm ready to sally forth.
Speaker 2: I'm ready to sally Forth. Okay, cool, We're gonna take
another ad break and we'll be right back. And we
are back. So our next topic is getting into the
Marvel Cinematic Universe, because it seems like there's more than
just a Chris Evans coming back. We have a Haley
Atwill joining Avengers Doomsday in addition to mister Chris Evans.
It seems like Marvel Studios was working on a solo
Steven Peggy movie but couldn't crack it down, so they've
just kind of incorporated I'm assuming Peggy. I'm assuming that's
what she's gonna be, reprising her character as back into
Avengers Doomsday. But again, we talked about how Chris Evans
might be different character, not necessarily becoming as Captain America,
Like there's there's a lot of different conversation happening there.
So maybe that's the same with Haley Atwell. I don't know,
but I'm curious what you guys think about this.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it seems like they're just don't have
much faith in the current state of MCU, and like
maybe what they've been setting up with the last TV
shows and movie projects for the last few years, and
it really feels like, Okay, they're just going back to
that winning the Pooh honeypot for this one. They're just
digging their big grubby hands back in there. They're pulling
Robert Downey out as a villain. Now, they're pulling back
all of these characters, and they're just slurping all that
honey down. So I feel like it's a little unfortunate
for me. Of course, I love these characters and these
actors in these roles, and you know, it just feels
a little cheap. I suppose to bring all these people back,
and it doesn't really feel earned or really what we
want to see. Like I think we've just yes, we've
had a messy road of some of these movies and
TV shows, but we've also come up with a lot
of really cool, interesting new characters, and I really want
to see them get the spotlight. But it kind of
feels like that's not gonna happen. It feels like those
characters will be more relegated supporting role or just like
in it for a battle or something, and it seems
like we're just focusing back on those like Phase one
characters that got it all started, which just feels too
soon for me, Like I think that's something that they
should have waited and done ten years from now. You know,
once again, i'm not speaking business minded here, I'm just
speaking in terms of, like story wise, what would have
been good, or even just letting usestate with the nostalgia
a bit more. It just feels like also a little
too soon. So I'm not super stoked about this, but
I mean I'll still be there day one, and I'm
sure a lot of people will, so it's maybe the
right move for them in terms of dollars and cents.
Speaker 4: It makes sense, and potentially we'll make dollars. Yeah, I'm
pretty lead similar than dollars. I'm pretty similar to you
with this where it just doesn't really move the barometer much,
which is kind of surprising because these are big characters
that are not, you know, before this news, not part
of the MCU anymore.
Speaker 5: Well at least to the big scale of what those.
Speaker 4: Characters initially were with like the original versions of Peggy,
they original versions of Steve, And to me, it's just like, okay, well,
what's the next one going to be, Like, let's get
our Bengo cards out and just have our old original
cast for like Avengers and be like they go daverage ready,
Like who, like who's gonna fill their card first? Like
it just seems like eventually we're going to be getting
next to everyone back, and yeah, it's it's unfortunate that
this should really be like boosting the hype levels on
these characters.
Speaker 5: I I feel.
Speaker 4: Like it's it's because we haven't really had like a
big of well we haven't had an Avengers movie since,
but definitely like even just a big like Marvel superhero
movie in the sense of a collab like I guess Guardians,
but that's kind of on its own because it's like
saying goodbye to those characters and ending that book end
in that chapter. But yeah, like like we haven't had
an Avengers with the with the young like New Avengers. Yeah,
like we don't even know what the Avengers roster is,
and then now we're getting oh yeah, the next Avengers
high that we're getting everyone that was in the last
Avengers title and it's just like, Okay, this is kind
of just strange to me now, So uh yeah, right
there with you on not really being too pumped about
this and I'm I'm I feel like they're really gonna
be fucked if they do all this, get everyone back,
and it like falls flat, very good point in all
the Yeah, it's a hail Mary, it seems, and like
I know, hail Mary is usually like critical plays like
do or die situation, and I feel like if they're
pulling in all these people, like it feels like that,
and yeah, we'll see, we'll see. Maybe the memes, you
know Taylor of Figy stressing over the Superman thing, maybe
it's really happening. Maybe he's starting to feel like the
baton is in DC's hands right now.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean the man, like I said earlier, he
dropped the Fantastic Four theme, the full theme, which was Superman.
It was just only a short piece of it.
Speaker 4: He's probably like on the shitter and then he like
got that. He's like, what the fuck this is out?
Speaker 5: This is coming, release it, release it, release the Fantastic
four score.
Speaker 2: Let's go. Calls James the fuck James agreement.
Speaker 5: I mean they James calls Matt Reeves, starts chewing him up.
Speaker 3: He just released a billion dollar movie and Joker to
eight ship, So I don't know. I don't know if
I don't know if I buyer this narrative. I think
they're doing just fine. But they saw with that that
people want nostalgia and they want the characters that they
know and love. They don't want new new freaks on
the block.
Speaker 2: Or musical debatable on musicals, I guess not Joker musical.
Speaker 3: I mean there's a sequence when Deadpool is dancing to
a song, so it's kind of musical.
Speaker 2: That's true, So they maybe they did that just to well, no,
because that was before was Deadpool before Joker before Okay,
Deadpools in the summer, so they knew and they're just like,
you know what, let's spipe them. Let's just add a
little bit of a musical dance sequence in Deadpool and
showed how we're going to do it right, And they
did just that. So yeah, yeah, Haley Atwell joining Anders Doomsday,
I think there's a lot of there's a lot of
nostalgia that, as you guys already discussed, they're going to
be capitalizing on, which is totally fine, but it can
go very very bad if you don't have a great story,
you don't have things written in there very well. I'm
a sucker for the multiversal stuff, but a few people
that are more like the GA one person I work
with in particular, they've been kind of going through the
Marvel movies and I think a few of them they've
not seen before, and so they just did like Throw
Love and Thunder and they did Endgame a little bit
of Go and so they're kind of working their way through.
And what I mentioned that we have Robert and Juier
coming back is doom. They just kind of like rolled
their eyes and thought, what the heck are they doing?
Like that just seems so so lame, and I know
there's a lot of people like that, But again, I
like the multiversal stuff, and if that's obviously the take
that they're doing here, where we're going to be getting
characters that we recognize coming back as other characters, I
think that there's gonna be a lot of fun with
this as a sandbox to pull from. So I'm open
to this. I'm very very excited, and I think you
can have a lot of fun with her coming back
either as like a Captain Carter, or she comes back
as just regular old Peggy and Steve Rogers is not
Steve Rogers. Crisse Evans is playing someone else, but she
recognizes him as Steve Rogers. I think there's just there's
a lot of fun dynamics that you could have in here.
So I'm gonna hold my breath on this. It's funny
that they were trying to do a solo Stephen Peggy movie.
I'm curious where that kind of fits into the sequence
of things if it was like a post end game
is it's just them doing dance lessons and.
Speaker 3: Like the musical, that's why they can't They couldn't go
back it.
Speaker 2: Right they saw a joker like, oh we got a
bet back.
Speaker 3: I mean, I think that's ultimately why they couldn't crack it.
If that part of it is true. Is like, how
does this make any sense? Like how do we justify
this as anything other than just like cash grab? And
the answer is no, there's no answer to that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's right. I don't have anything else on
that topic, but I feel like I'm gonna slide in
one more thing here on this is we're talking about
Marvel because it popped up, but we kind of shifted
things around on our previous newscast. But Kirkling, like you
and I have been watching Daredevil and that season one
retro that's dropping this month. It's the Patreon. Like, Dylan,
you're you're a Daredevil veteran already, we're gearing up for it.
But I just want to get your guys' thoughts on
Daredevil Born Again taking place five years after the Netflix show,
and you can try to you can be light on
the spoilers because we don't want to be spoiled, but
I just want to pick your brain a bit on that, Dylan.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess that's a really hard one for me
to answer, because like, where does five years after the
show relate to what we've seen in the MCU thus far? Right, Like,
is it that the show ended, then he's gone on
all these adventures, which is what like three or four
appearances now already, and then the Born Again is like
after that, Like, I my brain cannot conceive of how
any of this really makes sense. I guess there's not.
Speaker 4: Really like specifically the Spider Man stuff with the Echo
and h and She Hulk, like like what's the spacing
of those specific.
Speaker 5: Projects, let alone where Daredevil was placed?
Speaker 3: Right? Yeah, Yeah, well I wish I had a better
theory for you. But also like It's been a while
since I watched Daredevil, so I don't know's that's a
hard one for me to pick up, but that's I
don't know, Yeah, I get, I don't It's also if
you throw in the fact that there was like in
the MCU there was like a five year gap as well,
potentially like was he snapped for that time or was
he not? Like we don't know, so I don't know.
That makes things extra concluded. And I guarantee the writers
don't even know. They're just just making their project, you know.
Speaker 4: It's like it's like the default time jump, like hey,
what are we time jumping? And then it's like you
just have your program, it just automatically does five until
you adjust it, and.
Speaker 3: They just never adjusted.
Speaker 5: It always gives you five years.
Speaker 4: I feel like I just chuckle anytime I hear that,
because it is just a running thing now, you know,
Like Endgame, that's kind of what started I think the
five year jump, well at least like to the level
that it's been at. But for too long we've been
seeing these five year time jumps.
Speaker 2: I'll never forget those audible gasps in the theater too.
With Endgame, when it was like five years later, and
people are like, oh, yeah, they're very loud.
Speaker 5: They think they're still getting that with us. Yea, wait
until they see it's been a five year jump.
Speaker 2: Cool. All right, Well, I guess our next topic we
can jump over to is holy smokes, Barbie two in
the works. What's that?
Speaker 3: She's back?
Speaker 4: I said, I but you're throwing it to us, like
you're discussing, what's that?
Speaker 3: What's that?
Speaker 2: Guys? What's Barbie?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 2: But I mean, yeah, yeah, she's she said, she's back, discussed.
Speaker 3: Damn, what's happening over here? Barbie?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 3: It's back?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I if I would even happened for a review for that?
Who was on that review?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 5: I thought myself?
Speaker 2: I was it just everyone with me?
Speaker 3: Okay? I thought, Taylor, I don't think you were there?
Were you?
Speaker 2: Because you want to bet?
Speaker 5: No, I don't. I'm very unsure. Right now.
Speaker 2: I'll get some details for you.
Speaker 5: I believe you maybe, but then it took you forever
to watch there was one of them?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Oppenheimer, I wasn't on that review.
Speaker 4: Okay, Okay, so that one was just me and Travis.
See they're they're muffled in my brain because.
Speaker 3: I was not around for Oppenheimer's and then I just.
Speaker 5: Never see Dylan in any of these reviews.
Speaker 3: I guess in my my hindsight, because I have such
bad takes. Clearly, you just just phase me out when
I'm talking. I'm not offended, don't worry. I'm the video
game guy when it comes to yeah it's coming back,
I mean, so, yeah, I wasn't on the review, but
it's come up multiple times. I was not really a
fan of that movie. Didn't really work for me much
at all. But I'm very happy for everyone else because
I'm like the only person in the world who doesn't
like that movie. So I'm glad that everyone else is
gonna get a sequel here, and I'm sure there's gonna
be a lot of fun castings and it's gonna be
even crazier than the first one. So I'll definitely watch
it at some point.
Speaker 2: But yeah, it.
Speaker 3: Doesn't really get me too hype necessarily, But uh, yeah,
that's that's cool. I guess I didn't really expect this necessary, Like,
I don't know, I'm curious to see if it's the
same same team doing it. Obviously, money talks, and if
they want to make money, go make a Barbie sequel,
of course, But yeah, I kind of felt like story
wise and situation that we weren't going to get this.
And wow, Taylor, are you blowing your own mind right now?
Speaker 2: I'm blowing my own mind. I knew it.
Speaker 3: I knew you weren't there.
Speaker 5: There you can do it.
Speaker 2: I don't know where I was.
Speaker 3: I knew there was a man missing. Where were you
that you were just gone that whole weekend?
Speaker 2: Then, Taylor, Yeah, I you know what, I just blocked out.
I don't know where I was.
Speaker 3: I probably had. You must have been watching Yellowstone with
a pot of like buttered eggs in.
Speaker 2: Front of buttered eggs. Oh yeah, you just.
Speaker 4: Had the turkey baster just putting some some butter right
on this slabs of him.
Speaker 3: Barbie too.
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, I I love Barbie.
Speaker 4: I feel like the more I watch it, the less
hype I'm I am on it, just because maybe the
jokes aren't hitting as much asy did the first time around.
But it's still just a really well crafted piece of thing.
I love the cast that's in there. Margot's just fantastic.
The hot goss is fantastic, and yeah, no, I'm I'm
I'm all for it. It's Greta, right, she's the director. Yeah,
she comes back for this. I feel like that would
be I'm not gonna say it make or break, but
I would be like.
Speaker 3: Very she's over there in Narnia world right now, right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would be like very pulled back on my
my hype level, I think. And maybe that's just maybe
I say that, and then if I get a trailer,
maybe it'll totally go in the opposite direction.
Speaker 5: But I'm just a big fan of hers.
Speaker 4: I feel I think like every movie I've seen by
her has just been like a ten out of ten,
like like after the first time I watched it, so crazy. Yeah, No,
I think she's fantastic, and if she is back, I
I think it's going to be great, Like I imagine
because Margot was like a producer right as well on Barbie,
if I'm not mistaken, So I would imagine it's like
the same situation where she's a big part of just
the actual making of it as.
Speaker 5: Well as being the lead.
Speaker 4: But I would be pretty interested in what they do
plot wise, because I think that was the big mystery
going into the first movie, and you can't just redo
that if you're doing a sequel, so be interested in
kind of seeing what they do. But seems kind of
inevitable to me, Like even though it is like it's
it doesn't seem like it be a sequel. It just
made so much money and it just became like such
a a memed thing for just the whole Barbenheimer pairing,
but also just kind of what the movie was. And yeah,
like it was time movie that when it came out,
I feel like so many people that I knew were
going to see that specific movie over Oppenheimer, even people
that I never would have pinned being like a Barbie fan,
They're like, well, Gosling's in it, like let's go see,
let's let's go see this guy, or oh yeah, my
wife wanted to see. That's all go with that. So
it just seemed like everyone's attention was kind of drawn
to that. And I'm curious if it captures the re
the same type of thing going to the sequel.
Speaker 3: I think not really, but we'll see.
Speaker 2: Well said, yeah, like I remember when I saw Barbie.
I was at the drive in theater because I know
that's where my first time was seeing.
Speaker 5: We were reviewing it there, buddy, so we were not
reviewing it there.
Speaker 2: No, But yeah, like I I enjoyed it for the
most part, like it was fun. It was it was
you know, comedy, and Gosling and Robbie were both fantastic.
I don't know if I ever felt like I necessarily
needed a sequel between the two of those big time
movies that released. I was definitely more on the Oppenheimer scale,
or like fan side, because I remember when I finally
watched that, I think, what did I do? I got
up at like four or three thirty am. I just
couldn't sleep. I got up. I was like, you know what,
let's just put it on. I put it on, and wow,
what a way to start your day. Just Oppenheimer just
it sets you up. Oh my god, what a Yeah,
what a day that was. But yeah, I think money talks,
and obviously they think they can recapture that magic again
by doing the sequel, and so all the power to
them will see if they can make that magic happen.
I will, I will be there. I will definitely make
sure I'm on that review time around. Yeah, we'll see you. Sure, sure.
But we got a question about Barbie two. What this
is from Clay? What to tho in twenty six twenty
some blockbuster would you like to see open the same
weekend as Barbie two to potentially build another Barbonheimer situation.
Creative answer is welcomed.
Speaker 4: Ooh, I think I have the most uncreative answer, and
I would just say the Nolan film, the next Nolan
film that would be coming out.
Speaker 3: I feel like that would be I can't really think
of any other.
Speaker 4: Movies that in the woodwork that would like just naturally
make that connection to me.
Speaker 3: So I do think that would be really smart, like
for everyone involved, if they just make that an ongoing thing. Yeah,
because it was like such a baby raises all boat situation.
Speaker 4: It was a big question mark going into that first
time around, right because it's like which one is going
to suffer because the other one's coming out, but they.
Speaker 5: Both just thrived.
Speaker 4: It was probably like the biggest percentage of people just
doing back to back movie viewings in a day.
Speaker 3: I would imagine I was I was one of them.
Speaker 5: I did it.
Speaker 3: Do you think that once this release day gets announced,
that like a million movies are gonna shift their date
to be on that weekend to try and catch that wave.
I feel like we could see that happen with a
lot of movies. Then that becomes just like a total
mess of like seven things releasing the same weekend, and
for us reviewing, we have you know, I have to
see seven movies in one night.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it seems risky for for some of those movies
because it's like if like if you're not if you're
not a special enough movie to be able to go
up with Barbie and like be successful. You know, like
it's got to have a good name like Barbenheimer, Like
it's got to roll off the tongue. So they gotta
maybe pivot their title choice if they want to go
that route, Like you're not gonna have like what we're
just doing the Game Awards and we're talking about the
intergalactic title, Like what's the full name of that? Like
Magic the heretic Prophet, and then Barbie two.
Speaker 5: Like like that doesn't roll off the tongue. Well, so
there's a movie the tongue of that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's no one's pairing up with that one.
Speaker 5: So I think it's risky doing that.
Speaker 4: And yeah, like unless you're Nolan or like a Tarantino
or something like it seems like to be it would
have to be that level.
Speaker 3: But the Barbie critic, I guess he's not doing the
movie critic anymore, whatever he does.
Speaker 2: I was just looking at a list of some stuff
here of just different some movies that are coming out,
and there's a lot of movies slated for twenty twenty six.
But man, it would be so much fun if you
get like The Hunt for Barbie or Barbie Barbie Alum,
Barbum Barbum. Yeah, the Super Mario Barbie Avengers. Oh, okay,
Dooms Dooms by Dooms be. So there's a few, there's
a few I would like.
Speaker 3: I like Gallum. That was my answer. I think that
would be very funny, just like this cursed Lord of
the Rings movie on the same week same weekends as Barbie.
I think that would be And like, I think that's
part of what made Barbarinheimer's special was that you had
like completely opposite tones, a really fun, lighthearted comedy mixed
with like a tour a dark like biopic level thing.
And I feel like to have like a oh a
dark Lord of the Rings thing combined with Barbie, that'd
be a fun double future. I would potentially go see that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think you know that's it's a great
way of kind of moving forward too, because we haven't
really had big time double features like this really in
the past least thing that I can think of, nothing
on the scale of Barbie and Oppenheimer. Now, we did
have Gladiator and Wicked recently, and there was a little
bit of buzz around that that was a lot of
fun too, So I think that there's a you know,
it's good business with the movie theater's good promotion, good
marketing to just kind of like do stuff like this.
And I think in the end, like you said, like
it's people kind of shifting their movies to these weekends
like where Barbie two is, And I think that in
the long run, maybe it does help generate a few
extra dollars towards like a Gladiator too, because like, hey,
let's drop with Wicked and create some buzz like the
Barbie Oppenheimer situation. So that might be kind of like
the way the way forward. So maybe we'll have to
talk to Travis and drop one of our geek first
movies theatrically on the same days.
Speaker 3: With Smart or like it, very Smart, anything else.
Speaker 2: The Barbie anything else in the Barbie train for you guys,
nothing else on that train. I'm just gonna shotow one
quick thing because it popped up and I know super bad.
Mic was super excited for it. But Wicked Part two
was retitled to uh, Wicked for Good and it got
to release date November twenty first, So I'm no, I'm
looking forward to Wicked to have you? Have you guys
seen Wicked?
Speaker 3: Do you mean Wicked for Good?
Speaker 2: Yes? Yeah, I said you get.
Speaker 3: Do you think I think it's a good title? I can't.
For good? No, I don't think it's a good title.
Speaker 2: Have you seen You've seen Wicked though? Right?
Speaker 5: No, I have zero interest to watch it.
Speaker 4: Wicked, even all the hype and everything, you make it
the golden movie of the year, golden geek, I might have.
Speaker 2: To do that.
Speaker 3: I won't watch it.
Speaker 5: No, I guess I'll watch it.
Speaker 3: That'd be cool.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm just not in Ozga and everything about the
marketing and everything.
Speaker 5: I just wasn't a fan. Like everything I've seen, it
just doesn't seem like it's gonna be something that rose
me and I.
Speaker 3: You usually like musicals.
Speaker 4: I usually like those higher, higher than life type experiences
at the movies.
Speaker 3: But h yeah, no, cool Wicked for Good?
Speaker 2: Cool looking for good. All right, Well, I think that
closes out this legendary GV four Sorry six four three.
We'll be back later this week. Lots of stuff popping off,
and next week is Christmas week, so I'm sure there'll
be something dropping then too. Happy Christmas, Harry, Happy Chris,
Happy holidays. Oh yeah, new Year. So until next time,
everyone will see you in the search bar.
Speaker 3: Bye.
Speaker 5: I thought you're just gonna end it on the
