Fest I believe in Vernon Downs, New York. Look up
sci Fi Horror Fest, New York. You will find me there.
So yeah, that's gonna be a great time. Frank, Hey,
we've talked about Superman a couple Supergirl a couple times.
Speaker 2: Supergirl. Yeah, this is not our first rodeo.
Speaker 1: No. In twenty twenty three we did the Flash which
featured the Sasha Kelly Supergirl, and just last week we
did the original nineteen eighty fourth super Girl.
Speaker 2: I am praying that this is not the last time
that we review a Supergirl film, because yeah, film, but
she should be back.
Speaker 1: I'm praying it's not the last time we review us
DCU thing. But we've actually reviewed all the DCU stuff
being you did obviously Superman, and we did Commando. So
I'm one of the wrap ups. I did Peace Baker
season two. That's like technically all the dc DCU right now. James, Yes, yes,
And this is the latest one. Uh. Supergirl twenty twenty
six based off the Tom kingbook, which I did not read,
but I believe you have there you go, oh no,
it blurred it out. Yes, it's a book that everyone
tells me to read and they're like, yeah, it's about
a girl who's like really sad. I'm like, oh, I
already know a lot of those.
Speaker 2: Oh god, we just had a Supergirl on the show
that did the review with us, right.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Oh guys, if you walk into it a second.
Lauren Sody went to the theaters to see Supergirl, and
I will let you know what she had to say soon.
But let's finish up here. This. This is written by
Tom King, who people seem to like I've never read
his stuff. Apparently was an XCI agent, so I don't
trust him already. And then he became a comic book writer.
That was a weird career move. But this is written
by Anna Nogira who actually a lot of people are
blaming James Gunn for this, but like she was signed
on to do this Sasha Kelly Supergirl spin off when
that be a thing.
Speaker 2: She's been waiting to write this for five years something. Yeah,
when she first saw oh god, what's her name in
the play Supergirl.
Speaker 1: I just drew a blank Millie Alcock.
Speaker 2: When she first saw her in the suit, like, she started,
she started to like tear up and cry because she
told her that she's been waiting five years to finally
make it.
Speaker 1: And she's been she's been doing She's an actress, she's
been in a bunch of shows, but she's been writing
stuff like one short film and a.
Speaker 2: Play, right, and she signed on for wonder Woman to
write wonder Woman.
Speaker 1: Oh God, I guess I gotta watch this short film.
I'm like, that's that's that's weird. Cauld we all agree
that's a little weird. Lan's like, wait does she know? Yeah,
who does she know apparently James gun I don't know,
but yeah, that was like a weird thing because I
have a lot of issues with this script, and I'm like,
I feel like this was someone who's not ready to
one do a theatrical like a feature length film, but
if something also something of this scale, I'm not shitting
on her too much, but I'm like, this feels like
a weird decision that was made by the studio and everything.
I have some with a couple of credits underneath, maybe
some a little bit of sci fi in there before
he would jump right through this and definitely wait to
see how this one does before you give them teen
Titans and the Wonderwump in movie.
Speaker 2: Right. People are complaining right now because James Gunn said
that he's not green lighting any scripts unless they're like
top of the barrel type of scripts. So now that
this comes out and one of the biggest issues in
my mind is the script.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, that is my only real issue technically
with the movie. Well there's a few other things, but yeah,
this script is definitely the one that hurts it. And
like he said, you read the comic. I did not,
But keep in mind, like I know, people were upset,
Like even one of our fans uh mess with like
left the comments like why can't they just do the
comic And I'm like, we did Days of Future Past.
That's almost nothing like the comic, and it's still a
great movie. Sometimes the comic could just be like where
you get the idea for and you make something new
out of it. So I went I didn't really go
in with any knowledge of it. I had some guesses.
I thought it was about bounty hunters hunting Supergirl and
Lobo made sense, but that ended up not really being it.
I thought that was funny. She did a off Broadway
play like come on. That was her only writing.
Speaker 2: And I mean the the like all the writing is
right there in the book, like it's so much of
it has changed, like it's still it still follows the
timeline of you know, they go to this place in
that place and you know, and jump around, and I mean,
the story's still there, but it's the way that like
they shortened the whole thing to three days in the book,
it's it's you know a couple of weeks that it
happens over time, and then there's so many moments in
this movie that that while while we're watching it was
the book just did it better, Like like there's there's
certain scenes, there's certain places there, there's certain interactions. Some
of them they they some of the best pieces of
the book they didn't even put into the film. And
it's just happen.
Speaker 1: It happens. It was directed by Craig Gillespie, and I
went through his uh directing thing here. He's done a
lot of TV and commercials, but he has done movies.
Trying to think, what are some big ones he did here,
Uh Collakulla Ititanya Cruella is the big Kruella. He did
that dumb Money movie, which I wanted to see about
like the people who were like betting or like buying
stocks or in the pandemic and everything.
Speaker 2: And then great director.
Speaker 1: Well, okay, he's an okay director. He did the Fright
Night remake, which is a movie that feels like it's
missing a second act. I love the original Fright I
actually didn't hate the Fright Night remake. I actually wanted
to like it more. But there was something of Lars
and the Real Girl that was probably like a really
big one that he did. He had two movies to do, actually, yeah,
he had two movies in two thousand and seven, Lars
and the Real Girl, which I think everyone liked with
Ryan Goslin buying like one of those real dolls. But
then he also did Mister Woodcock, which I thought was
gonna be funny. Was Billy Bob Thornton yelling at what's
his face? I just reviewed a movie, was this hold
on Sean Williams Scott. I thought it was gonna be
really really funny. It was not funny. So he's hit
or miss for me. But yeah, they got him to
do this. And then they cast Millie Alcock. There she is,
Frank of everyone, Wow, it's you. I put that up here.
Here's the thing the Internet. There are some unflattering angles
of Millie Alcock in the Supergirl trailer, and everyone's really
coming down on this girl, like, oh, she's gross, she's gross.
I think she's a really nice looking lady. That being said,
she could use some braces on her bottom teeth. And
I want to make an apology. Frank in our Superherol review,
I said she's cute, she just has British mouth. It
turns out she's actually Australian, So I want to apologize
for not insulting properly. But I liked her. I like
her and she. I enjoyed her cameo at the end
of a Superman and I was excited to see what
she could do. And the big thing here was Jason
Momoa's Lobo after he was horribly miscast as Aquaman. Although
I ended up enjoying him not so much in the
Snyder So his first movie, he's really good.
Speaker 2: He ended up not a.
Speaker 1: Good Aquaman for me, But this makes way more sense
for Jason Momoa and he apparently the day they announced
they're rebooting everything, he texted James Gunn. He just said,
Lobo baby, but he really wanted this part.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I love Millie Alcock in this role. I think I
think I can't. First off, I can't stand the people
that are saying that she's uglier, not pretty and this
and that, because I think she's gorgeous. I think she's
a very beautiful actress.
Speaker 1: Oh, there are people. I mean the trailer obviously she
looks weird some shots, but they're not like flattery. She's
in the middle of a fight, she's dirty. It's low right,
but people are like touching stuff up. I noticed they
like aied her to make her grittier and stuff like, Okay,
come on.
Speaker 2: I think I think I think she's perfect for this role.
I think with a little bit you know, better writing
and a little bit better material given, I think that
she can really, you know, skyrocket into this role and
really do something big with it. Put her next to
corn sweat Superman with some of those scenes, I mean
when he jumps on screens, he screamed Superman every time.
But putting them both together, I think that they can
really have some great do something.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. They apparently cut like twenty five minutes
out of this really and they added more scenes with Superman,
which adding the scenes with Superman I think are good.
But honestly, I want to know what they cut out
because I feel like they could have cut out a
little bit more. And I want to know what we
lost in that because there's like a big issue I
had with the movie where so I had to lean
over to you at one point and ask you a
question because I thought I missed something. There was a
whole thing with Supergirl's character that I feel like it's missing,
and I don't know if that's something that got cut.
Speaker 2: But I don't think they needed to cut anything more
at if anything, they needed to add more because things
weren't properly explained, or even some of the big moments
towards the end of the film or towards the minute
the middle of the film, like nothing, nothing was earned,
Like it felt like we were just given moments that
that never really felt like, you know, we built up
to something like the whole time, where like we're waiting
to for these characters to interact and have these special
moments together. And there's so many moments from from the
comic book that between Ruthie and Supergirl that you know
that that helps build their bond so that by the end.
Speaker 1: You remember that girl name. I totally forgot the little
girl's name. I was ready to call her little girl
the whole.
Speaker 2: It's spelled with like a ye in the book, so
I was saying it ruth.
Speaker 1: Yet but yes, actually real quick. If any of you
have read the comic and want to complain about the changes,
please let us know in the form of a super chat.
We forgot to mention super chats during the chilling version.
Please leave a super chat. Any Penny helps. I've been
doing physical therapy to fix my leg and guess what, Frank,
I needed a computer, super Chats please, Patreon, please, I.
Speaker 3: Need a new computer.
Speaker 1: This computer is a little bit out of date, and
I've been milking it and it doesn't have Windows eleven,
and I know I needed one for a while. Like
I think I can milk it a little bit more.
There's a few other things I need to buy. And
then last week Adobe Premiere, the editing software I use
every day. It's like you will no longer be getting
updates on this computer. I'm like, God, damn it.
Speaker 2: No, So somebody needs to come build me a whole setup.
Speaker 1: Super Chats please. I don't think you need to sell
you just need to oak up your Bluetooth then, so
a little bit sooner, correctly, I've offered to come over
and look at your setup and be like this is
what you got to do? This this this anyway.
Speaker 2: Well, my basement's being renovated at the moment too, so
that's why I'm in my office that's covered with boxes
for my coffee truck that we're building.
Speaker 1: So nice. I can't wait. It's not bill yet. I
can't wait to see it. I can't wait.
Speaker 2: Almost done a couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: Nice but yeah, let's get into this film. Oh we
should probab eventually. If you watched our Superman review last year,
this time getting to the theater was very easy. There
was no tornadoes or flooding like famously. There was a
point where I didn't think me and Frank we're gonna
make it to the movie theater last year because.
Speaker 2: She's like, just take your time, dude.
Speaker 1: I had to call them ahead and Time'm like, can
you see in front of you? Because I can't see anything.
Nice beautiful day when we went to see this.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a shame the night didn't end up the
way we wanted it to.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, what are you gonna do? So it opens
up we see Supergirl going through her day. I guess
she picked Crypto up after Superman and went back into space, right,
and we get to see what she's been doing up there,
and apparently it's just hanging out with her dog and
getting drunk and partying with her dog. Lots of dog
stuff here, and we can tell she's really sad about something.
I don't know what she could be sad about, maybe
her planet dying, who knows.
Speaker 2: Lots of dog stuff in the beginning, but like not
enough for a payoff. You know that Crypto gets shot
so early on, Like I mean, it happens, It happens
in the comic. It's how the comic runs, and you
know it happens very early on. But I don't know,
like you want a little bit more of a certain
moments between them instead of like a montage of just drinking.
Speaker 1: But yeah, and I did like how they did the
whole thing where she's going to solar systems with red suns,
because that's the whole thing with the Superman movies. They
always got that crutch of kryptonite, and I mean that
does show up in this But I like that they
did more stuff with the sun because we haven't really
seen a red sun in the movie really other than
I guess the red sun rays and Superman two. But
like film wise, we don't really get to see a
lot of the sun weakness with him.
Speaker 2: We see three different sons in this movie.
Speaker 1: Actually, yes we do.
Speaker 2: Yes, we speak to the two of them, two of them,
which gives me, you know, less of a payoff of
the second one because we already did it the first.
Speaker 1: Time, so they there she's partying. Meanwhile, ruthy Uh is
with her parents who build swords because swords are very
important in space battle apparently, right, are they like magic swords?
Why do they want swords so bad?
Speaker 2: Just kind of like most likely like a you know,
Valerian steel type of thing, like you know, they probably
make like a certain type of product on their planet
and probably the best in the universe at it. In
in the comic, they're like more of like farmers, and
this whole scene kind of as as I was, this
is the first scene, and as I was watching it,
I'm like, ah, this is better in the In the book,
it's it's i mean, you get to meet them, but
there's not really that much of you know, like a
care there for for when they die in in the
In the comic, the dad allows Krem to stay on
their property and then you know, the next morning, Krem
like works for the for the kingdom there, whether on
the planet or in the Solar system there, whatever it is.
But he goes around and he and he talks badly
of the king so that he finds people that agree
with him and say, yeah, you're right, you know, f
the king, and then he kills them because he's like,
F the king, I work for the king. You should know,
you should be worthy of the king. So then her
dad turns around in the book and says, you know, oh,
you shouldn't speak badly of our king. You know, I
speak highly of him. And then Crem's pissed off that
the guy wouldn't play into his tricks. So then Krem
kills the father being a good guy. Like there's like
it shows it shows that like rough, like a little
bit more of a ruggedness, and then like just a
nuisance to Krem instead of this just I guess going
to steal their their swords.
Speaker 1: He just wants the sword. And then things go crazy
because their son is listening to headphones ah, and then
jumps out and startles them and they get attacked. Who's
the actor who plays Krem?
Speaker 2: I didn't wait, there's headphones in space?
Speaker 1: Yeah there are. You couldn't get.
Speaker 2: God, dude, this is frank.
Speaker 1: This is Franklin. Space used to be have a problem.
You said, I can't hear you. You can hear me,
but I can't hear you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no way, dude, I dropped my phone.
Speaker 1: Good time to tell me that was the perfect.
Speaker 2: Time, really good time.
Speaker 1: And buddy, you drop your phone the phantomisode where did.
Speaker 2: You go right onto my light? Actually, yeah, that's a
crazy part. That's funny. Sorry about that.
Speaker 1: So his name was what Matthias?
Speaker 2: Wait, I wouldn't make it in space?
Speaker 1: What were you just saying? You'd be like used to be?
Have a problem? Said? Can you hear me? I can
hear you, but you can anyway?
Speaker 2: What was this you see me? I can't see you
Matthias show notes.
Speaker 1: Okay, I don't. His name doesn't ring a bell to me.
I don't know if he's been in anything else.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 1: A lot of people were upset with the redesign Frank.
They were mad that he didn't look like generic redhead guy.
I actually liked the movie version more. I think that's
more interesting. Maybe that's me. I don't know, right.
Speaker 2: I mean, if you don't go with all that makeup
and all that, then it needs to be really good
writing to make you hate this guy like he needs to.
He needs to really be fleshed out. You need to
spend time with him in the movie alone. I think, Uh,
but the actor actually looks like that. And that's another
reason why people were kind of upset with this whole thing.
Was he kind of has that look, but a lot.
Speaker 1: Of people are upset with that. The problem is when
the Snyder fans were complaining about him not looking like
the comic, and I was like, all right, fuck now,
Snyder fans don't get the weigh in on this. Steppenwolf
looked nothing like Steppenwolf, dooms Doomsday looked nothing like Doomsday.
Like all of those designs were off. So when Snyder
fans were like, Zack would have got this right, I'm like, no,
he wouldn't. He would have put him in gray armor
with a bunch of spikes. That's what he would have done.
It was weird when they were complaining about that. And also,
I can't the anti woke grifter on Twitter has bothered
me because they were mad at this about not being
comic accurate. But then the he Man movie comes out
and everyone looks pretty much how they're supposed to look,
and they're complaining that it looks too accurate. It makes
no risks. So I'm like, I can't. I can't keep back.
Accuracy is very as little do with it. It either looks
good or bad. I thought he looked cool as someone
who didn't read it, but yeah, he kills all of them,
except for the little girl Ruthie. His his ship gets
damaged in the altercation. They like have traps or whatever
that blow up a ship. Meanwhile, Supergirl's dancing, dancing the
night away, getting hammered to space music that I did
like that, Like Earth music has made its way into
space on jukebox is and people are The girl from
Ippanina plays later on, Right, it's like random Earth songs
up there.
Speaker 2: That one I don't get because that's that's like a
singer singing that in the club, right, So it's like,
you know, that one I don't get, but this one
she plugs her iPod into the jukebox, so she like
she's playing her music. But yeah, when we go to
that bar later on, the singer is actually singing Earth songs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, applied that humans because she pretends at one point
that she's from Earth. So I guess there are some
brave people who have decided to go around the galaxy
and see what's going on.
Speaker 2: And in DC comics, it's not like unknown that you
know that you can go out into the universe and
that there's other planets out there that inhabited and all that. Like,
so I like, I like that feeling of giving you,
you know, with the music out there that you know
we're all kind of aware of each other, just you know,
you don't travel as much out there.
Speaker 1: But yeah, this was fine for me real quick. This
is something new. Uh what just happened here?
Speaker 3: I fuck up?
Speaker 1: No? No, no, no, good thing. Good thing. There's like
new things you could buy, like stickers or you could
buy on YouTube for like the super chat stuff. And
someone just bought one RJ. I missed the rest of
the name RJ something, and I just wanted to shout
it out. I caught it. I'm probably gonna miss those
because I don't really have the YouTube chat up most
of the time. But thanks, I'm sure that's something you
could buy to post in the chat. Thank you so much.
Apologies if I miss them going forward, because I usually
just look at the stream yard chat. Anyway. She's partying
and the Roofie comes in and she's like, hey, I
need someone to help me get revenge on the brigands.
I think they were called like todayone helped me. If
you help me, I'll give you my sword. And then
a big monster man comes up by the way. Supergirl
drinking game drink every time he goes to a new
establishment with people in monster masks.
Speaker 2: Well, I like, I liked the aliens in this No, no,
I like it too.
Speaker 1: It's just there's a Probably my one problem with the
movie is everyone loves the cantina scene in Star Wars
when they finally go to the canteen and you see
all these aliens, and I always like scenes like that.
The problem is this movie has like four scenes like that.
They're like, we're in a bar kal aliens, and then like,
now we're gonna go to a bus with all these
wacky aliens. Then we're gonna go to a different bar
with a bunch of wacky aliens. Like all right, we're
doing this a little too and each time there's gonna
be a fight. It was just very formulaic, and I'm like,
can we have some variety here?
Speaker 2: There's things in this movie that really bother me, And
that's that's not so much one of them. I mean,
they do repeat a lot of things through this, but yeah,
I mean, if anything that the Aliens could have looked,
you know, a little bit more different than you know
than Star Wars and have and.
Speaker 1: Might look the Aliens. It was cool to how they
mix the practical with CGI effects and makeup effects. I
like when they blend those. Oh yeah, she gets to
her first big fight with a big guy who steals
the sword, and again she doesn't have her powers, so it's, uh,
it's fun. Because a lot of people don't like Superman.
They're always like, oh, he's too overpowered. I'm like, now
there's stories where they just power scale and descale him,
and uh, this is it. So I enjoyed this first
fight scene. It's something new. Uh like not like kryptonite.
I'm dying just I just don't have powers, but I
still have to figure out how to fight.
Speaker 2: Yea. The action, The action in this movie is great.
I kind of I enjoy a lot of the action scenes,
especially this first scene.
Speaker 1: So she tells she gives the girl the sword, and
she's like, all right, leave. Uh. She goes back to
her spaceship. She's getting messages from Clark. Oh. I do
like that. The yellow Son is her hangover cure. Going
that opening montage where she's just hammerd She's like, I
need a yellow Son right now, and he's obviously misses
her because they we learned that. I think they've known
each other for like two years, right.
Speaker 2: I don't know was that given how long she's been there.
Speaker 1: Here, I guess because he's only been Superman for what
three years at the beginning of Superman, so I think
maybe he met her like one or two years in
so the relationship is still new, and you could tell
he hasn't really connected with her.
Speaker 2: Just trying to open her up to the world, you know, Yeah,
he really wants away from it.
Speaker 1: He really wants her to be a part of Earth.
And I really thought maybe this guy cut out the
way the trailers were. I really thought like there was
gonna be some kind of conflict with her and Superman
where he's like, you should be like me and you
should love it here, and she's like, I gotta be
my own person, And I thought that's what they were
going for. But they don't really do that.
Speaker 5: Well.
Speaker 2: I mean, you don't really get the vibe of that
with this type of storyline Woman of Tomorrow. I mean,
she's she's traveling through space the whole time. A really
different way, a cool way that they that they could
have went with this film was to keep her on
Earth and to show that, you know, she's not blending
and she's having a problem on like you know how
Clark grew up there and and he's trying to push
Earth onto where she couldn't realize it.
Speaker 1: So I thought that was even gonna be like why
she left, like maybe they had a fight or something,
and said, I guess she just feels bad because he's
too polite and she can't yell at him, and also
that's her only like living relatives, so she just like
went away, so she didn't like make him feel bad.
But yeah, I thought there was gonna be something there
where she's like, Clark, you don't understand. I'm coming at
this from a different point of view. You grew up there.
I didn't. But now there's really nothing. He's like, hey,
buy just making sure you're okay. But yeah, Ruthie comes back,
asks her more questions and then what's his face? Uh?
I already forgot his name?
Speaker 2: Krem?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Krem steals their ship and good old Crypto tries
to stop him, and he gets shot with poison, special
magic poison that will kill you in three days. I
think they give you the poison to question you and
then they give you the antidote or whatever, but obviously
didn't work. Were worried about that, so they shot him
and left. Now, there were people who were like pointing
out plot holes, like why didn't they just bring Crypto
to a yellow sun? But they specifically said, if you
move him and stress them out, it'll quicken the poison
and kill him before you even get there. I mean,
obviously it's a dumb cop out, but there was a
reason why they couldn't move him to a yellow sun.
Speaker 2: Yeah. But also like if the poison's already inside of
him and then he hits a yellow sun, does the
poison still stay inside of him? He's just stronger.
Speaker 1: I think it would just burn it out, like their
metabolism would burn it out, kind of like they can't
get drunk or anything. It would just fry it pretty much.
Speaker 2: All of them. We wouldn't have a movie. We'd have
a ten minute ye.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: But people are like pulling that out as a pot hole,
and like, no, they said that they can't move him
because you know it stresses you out, then it'll make
it worse.
Speaker 3: So film.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So she's like, look, I'm not going to help
you get revenge on your parents, but I am gonna
go get krem because they got to get the antidote
from him because they all carry it on them, the Brigands,
the male only race.
Speaker 2: I don't like. I don't like that, and I also
don't like the three days given and the i'd like.
I hate going back to the book again because I
know they got a.
Speaker 1: Know, you have to condense stuff, but you can.
Speaker 2: Still like montage it a little bit better and make
it seem like they're actually traveling through the galaxy together
because I want, I want, I want Supergirl and Ruthie
to build this bond and like a three day you know,
journey doesn't give you that payoff that you really should
be getting between those two at the end of the journey.
And that's I think that's why I didn't like it
the most, not not the movie, but this this portion
of it, the three days was because you know, you
don't get those payoffs, and I was kind of upset
towards the end.
Speaker 1: So you's got to accept that it's not gonna be
like that. Man, you know, I probably I can think
of a character they could have removed from this movie
to tell more of a story. But they needed him,
uh to set up more movies. But we'll get to him. Uh.
So Yeah, she's got her a little stopwatch thing. Uh,
so she's planning it. And then and this is when
we get one of our first flashbacks. They're sprinkled throughout.
I tried my best to remember where the flashbacks were,
so we'll talk about all of them. But the first
one we see is what I think we learned later
was her mother's funeral because they have a casket to
bring in. And this is before we really knew what happened.
We assumed that this was Krypton. I went into this
movie with the knowledge that she was on Krypton and
she left the other story where she leaves the same
time as Clark, but she gets lost. They I learned
that they're not doing it. They're doing it more like
the original story from her first run, which we talked
about in the eighty four review. But yeah, apparently she
met Crypto the day her mom died.
Speaker 2: Is it her mom or it's somebody her mom?
Speaker 1: Because just his dad is just her dad? Is there?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: That's rue.
Speaker 2: All of these flashback scenes I think are the best
portion of these films. David Kremholtz Krumholes absolutely murders it.
You ever seen the Santa Claus. He plays, Yeah, wonderful.
I've loved him since I was a kid, so for him,
the player dad and this I think that I think
he brought so much emotion to the role and even
even speaking in the Krypton language, it really it really shines.
But this is this is my reaction from last year
when Superman came out. I wish that they were just
speaking English because especially through these scenes, you lose a
lot of it from just reading what's coming across the
screen towards like I think, I think we can, you know,
extend our reality.
Speaker 1: I think they should do.
Speaker 2: And I like how you know English.
Speaker 1: I like how some movies do it where it is
like the alien or foreign language and then it blends
into English and it's like, Okay, I know that they're speaking,
but well, here's I get it.
Speaker 2: It's just the only like they could keep it like that.
That's fine, But there's portions of this film where she
travels to other planets and these people start speaking the
Earth tongue.
Speaker 1: Oh they called common. In Star Wars they call it basic,
but in I guess this is called common. But yeah,
speak English. You hear what Frank said, he said, speak English?
He only he only eats a Geno steaks where they
have that sign saying you're in America.
Speaker 2: Political speak Spanish. That's fine, just you know speaks. Just
don't don't create a new I mean it's Jonian.
Speaker 1: Said really bad Italian accent. G go la me.
Speaker 2: Buchtyty.
Speaker 1: Anyway, Supergirl gets onto a space bus because obviously she
doesn't have a ship and she can't fly at the moment,
She's gonna make her way to where the brigands are,
where she thinks they are, and Ruthie gets into a
fight with an alien lady, which I forgot to clip.
Did you hear about the Star Wars controversy? No, oh, Frank.
Speaker 2: That there's an alien from Star Wars in this is that?
Speaker 1: Well, no, there isn't. Uh let me let me find
the picture. So I think the artists who did the
comic book made art for the movie. And uh you
remember the big alien that was like stepping on her.
It was like they had like a white dress and
it was all hunchbacked and whatnot.
Speaker 2: That's not the one that sits in, oh you say
in the movie.
Speaker 1: In the movie, who was fighting Ruffy? The one super
Girl has to like save her from yep, I'm trying
to get the image here. Here we go. So there
was a there was a little bit of controversy, and
I don't blame the artists for this. I think they
gave her a bad reference. So here's the artwork that
the comic artist did, but you know, making it like
the movie. Give it a second. Cool, And then that
alien in the back should be the one who was
from the movie. They had it like low, uh, what's
it saying? Jason Momoa was doing videos with it, But
that's actually not the one you see in the movie. Frank,
I think the artist got the wrong reference material. That
is a background alien from the last Chedhai, So somehow
she got the wrong alien. But the alien does look
like the one that's in the movie, so it seems
like there's it was like this huge mix up, like
mess up that no one fact checked because it looked
close enough to the actual one.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: And there was like a contrary Oh no, I found
a picture of both of them side by side. Give
me one second. But I remember people were like, h
Warner Brothers is ripping off dizzy and like, no, I
assure you their secret plan wasn't you rip off a
background alien you don't remember from a movie you all
hate happen here we go, there's it back to back.
It's supposed to be that one, but no, Look it's
got the same necklace.
Speaker 2: And everything, same hunchback.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's literally I honestly think just I don't
know if it's the same company who made the Aliens
and they sent the wrong thing. But uh, that was
not the best look. I mean, it looks like cool
artwork other than having the wrong alien on it. So yeah,
they get attacked by like tech pirates. It leads to
a fun fight scene with the teleporter. I thought that
was pretty cool.
Speaker 2: Does very cool. I enjoyed that. I enjoyed that scene
a lot. But again, once we get to how she
saves today, I mean, it's it's cool that she's looking
for a yellow sun that that's right over the next planet,
you know, as soon as they get there and this
and that. But this is the first time that they
do this in this film, to where don't do it
the second time then, or do it in a different way,
because she was also like frozen, she's she was about
to die, and then it slowly comes up over the
ridge and the sun saves her, which is an awesome moment.
I love it, especially the fact that she knew that
she was caught and the pirate hits the button and
flings her out into the In this space.
Speaker 1: Oh, we mentioned Seth Rogan as a tiny little alien.
Speaker 2: Dude because he had to be a voiceover something here.
Speaker 1: Uh, but I did like that she was actually trying
to put on the spacesuit so she wouldn't die, and
then she's like, ah, crap, and they launched her. But yeah,
she gets hit with the yellow beam and she just
kicks ass. She like breaks all the breaks their ship,
ties them up and saves the day. And now everyone
knows that she's superpowered. And then they go to her
rest stop. They go to Cloud City, and.
Speaker 2: She's stronger than Superman by the way, according to Hue.
According to the comics, did she does she does kick
Dark sides ass at one point.
Speaker 1: Or is that something Millie Alcock said when she said
that Superman would let her win a fight or something
like that. No, in my.
Speaker 2: In my opinion, Uh, Superman was raised on Earth, right,
so he's he's constantly holding back like he knows how
strong he is. But to a point, he's like holding back.
Supergirl just recently showed up to Earth with these powers
and she's upset and angry and just lost all of
her people, like she witnessed it herself, so she doesn't
hold back like Superman to where they probably have the
same powers, but she lets it. She lets it rip.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I'm actually fine with like Supergirl being more
violent than Superman because you're right, different set of morals
did it wasn't raised the same way. It makes her
different from it. It feels weird when Superman is murdering
and being all angry and stuff like Supergirl. I get.
I'm a little bit more lenient with I'm like, I
get it, I get it. I agreed, But I like
that she's like interrogating them and threatening to laser their
heads off. I thought that was pretty awesome. But they
tell her that the Brigands are on a dying planet
that still has some people on it, and it's where
they go to like bring all their girls. So the
Brigands basically steal girls to reproduce with and then get
rid of them because they're in all males anxiety and
you'll never believe it, Frank. They go to another place
with people in rubber masks and they get into a
big fight.
Speaker 2: Uh yes, yeah, that's fine. I like that. I can't.
I don't. There wasn't enough given to me on why
Krem and the Brigands. I mean, yeah, we were given
the why. I just it feels weird throwing that in there.
That that's you know, that that's their moos, that they
go around and steal girls to have them give birth
to boys and then rule as a as a race
of men. I mean, I would I don't think you
needed that because you didn't really dive into that at all.
It was kind of just like said over top, and
then you know, eventually she saves, she saves the wives
and all that.
Speaker 1: Like.
Speaker 2: I just, yeah, I don't think they were really I don't.
Speaker 1: Think they're really concerned with the villain in here. That's
why he is kind of one note and normally that
be like Okay, I don't mind if your villain's just
kind of whatever, as long as all the other characters
are like rich interesting. But if you're.
Speaker 2: Gonna follow, if you're gonna follow this book so closely already,
then I mean they're they're like genocidal uh pirates, like
they like they go to battle for other war lords
on different planets and get paid for it, and and
you know, they they go around and kill races, which
you know, it could have there could have been a
lot of you know, meaning and metaphor of hitting, you
know behind all that. So turning it to you know,
going around and stealing women, it just, I don't know,
it just felm different.
Speaker 1: Yeah, But she beats up everyone in the bar and
she's trying to figure out where the brigands are. And
then we get introduced to Lobo, who's looking for a
brigand himself he's a bounty hunter. And we got Jason Momoa,
who I think did a really good job. You know,
there was a time I really didn't like Jason Momoa.
That's because I kindly seeing him in garbage movies and
I just assumed he was a bad actor. And also
he also he wasn't that good of an actor. He's fine.
Now you watch a lot of Jason Momoa these days,
Frank on my twenty four to seven Baywatch channel, because
he's in Baywatch Hawaii. Baywatch Hawaii. Yeah, Baywatch Hawaii. He
played Jason and Baywatch Hawaii.
Speaker 2: Huh, that's cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so he shows up with Lobo. He looks exactly
like Lobo, acts like him. I think he did a
great job. He just doesn't need to be in this movie.
He really offers nothing. He's just kind of there to
watch the girls have fights and blow up a few
people and leave. He's really literally just there for merchandising
and to help build up his own movie later. That's it.
Speaker 2: I hope he doesn't get his own movie later. I
hope that he keeps on doing things like this and
pops in and out. But I think that the reason
why he was in this film was because, like you said,
from day one, he texted James Gunn wanted to be Lobo,
and James Gunn found a way to just fit him
in quickly, because the fans knew of this story that
you know, he's going to be Lobo down the line,
so he was probably like, here's a cosmic story, Lobo's cosmic,
let's throw him in there. I would have loved to
even touch on some new gods a little bit, maybe
have some mentioning and lay out a little bit more
for the future. I think that's you know what kind
of also upset me with this whole Galactus Galactic movie,
and we don't really touch on these higher powers that
are out there in these universes. That would have been
cool if you were going to change something. Jason Momo
is Lobo looks great, love it. I mean, he's obviously
born to play the role. But when I watch him
on screen, I'm like, that's Jason Momoa playing Lobos. That's
what I think. And I'm like, oh, he's doing a
great job. But that's Jason Momoa riding a motorcycle that flies,
and that's playing Lobo.
Speaker 1: I just think some of the script issues could have
been a little bit better if they just eliminated this character.
As much as I wanted to see him, Like, you
didn't really need him in this at all, even and
that's the thing I'm seeing a lot of people say,
They're like, we really like Lobo in it, didn't need
to be there because he really just I'm also here
and I honestly, and there's a moment at the end
where he's watching the final battle, Like I guarantee you
that was a pickup shot where they're like, let's get
more Lobo, because that's something he would do, just sit
and watch a conflict. He didn't care about.
Speaker 2: Right, he's a bounty hunter. What's he doing? I mean
he gets a little care for them, and you know
he gives a little creepy smile at the end.
Speaker 3: And then.
Speaker 1: Remember he's supposed to like be a bag. I know
he does good things sometimes, but he is a violent
murder man, like he should really be no better than
the Brigands, Like he killed his entire planet. Yeah, I
assume that means women and children, Like he's a monster.
So and I guess at no point does he, to
his credit, I don't think he ever acts like he's
better than the Brigands. He's just like, I'm just here
to hunt of guy. That's it.
Speaker 2: But don't turn him into a hero down the line.
Keep him. He needs to be a villain. He needs
to stay that way.
Speaker 1: Or he's really bad at being a hero. Remember Justice
League when they thought Superman was dead and then he
shows up the volunteer to replace Superman. I want something
like that. But yeah, thisend, these bartenders, they were like, hey,
you know what, We'll tell you where you can find
the Brigands or whatever. We have a friend. We have
a friend that can help you out. Uh. So Kara
goes back to their place with Ruthy and then she
tells the story of Krypton. So the what's you called
the council didn't believe Jorell and Zorrel about the core exploding.
At some point they got to say something sort of
like Manaciel where it's like they weren't allowed to leave Earth.
Because it's like, why were they like isolationists? That's what
I'm assuming. It's like, why did no one ever come
to help Krypton. Did they just not know right away,
because it doesn't seem like they interacted with other alien
races at all.
Speaker 2: I don't know. Yeah, I mean, yeah, top of their class,
one of the one of the most advanced planets. I
guess they just felt like they didn't need anyone else.
Speaker 1: But yeah, we see the day Krypton, most of Krypton fell,
uh and Zora right, yes, yeah, Zorel made a force field. Well,
I remember I told you in the original comics it
was just a piece of rock flew into space and
they're like, well, thank god this rock with an atmosphere existed.
I like the look of Krypton, by the way, it
didn't go full ice crystal, which I mean I love
Ice Crystal, and there's no there's I mean you could
say maybe there's like other parts of the planet that
look like that, and that's why Superman looks his fortress
looks like that. But I like that had its own
like little unique look a little bit we see of it.
But yeah, he managed to get Argo City in a
bubble and get into space while everything blew up. And
while that was happening, they see kal El Superman being
launched into the space, and I like that this kind
of shows that, like, not everyone was like jor l
because everyone's like, well, they Kryptonis want to take over
the Earth. Why is it Supergirl saying anything. I'm like, one,
she probably didn't know either. But like at one point,
when kal El's ship is being taken away, you hear
his wife a Laura. She's like, isn't that the boy
your brother wants to conquer Earth? So I feel like
that was just something Jurrell and Laura were into and
the rest of the Rytonians are like, that sounds great,
We're not really into that because there how Zarell and
Laura act in this is how like Superman's parents are
usually depicted, like, hey, be good to people, don't don't
be bad, be.
Speaker 2: Not now figuring out a way to have their kid
All right, Well, if we have to send them off,
we might as well have them be a god like Well, no,
that's not the point.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but yeah, I think this is I think this
this the way that they do all this.
Speaker 2: I think that it's setting up for for a Man
of Tomorrow with Brainiac. I think that I think we're
going to come back and revisit the explosion of Krypton
and why it exploded. I do think that that Brainiac
being the next villain in the next film is is
going to be a huge portion of why Krypton exploded.
And it's because because Supergirls in that as well. So
I think that you know, Supergirl is going to be
able to explain it and see it better to where
you know, Clark, who wasn't there to experience any of it,
will have some really good moments through that. So I'm
looking forward to this.
Speaker 1: Supergirl didn't experience any of this, well, she says she
was born eight years later she was, so she was
born on the rock in the city in the sky,
so she wasn't actually a witness to the Kryptonian destruction,
which I like that. I liked that she was older
than him in the original and the not the original,
but like the versions that we kind of grew up reading.
But yeah, so she was living on Krypton and it
turns out my I guess my understanding of Kryptonite was
it's just rocks from Krypton that when they get on
the Yellow Sun become poisonous to Kryptonians. But actually in
the original book, when they were on the rock, it
was like this where like kryptonite hurts us. So they
have a line where they're like, when we unearthed the
city mineral Ore that was deep below the crust was
exposed and now it's poisoning all of us. So citizens
are dying from kryptonite poisoning, like slowly, but they're all
dying from it. And uh, what's his face? Built a
ship big enough for her, and he's gonna send Carol
to Earth to get her cousin. It's like a really
heartbreaking scene, especially after her mom died and everything, right,
and they if I heard it in English, yeah, they
they launch her and then she wakes up from that
dream and she goes downstairs and she's like, hey, uh,
has your friend showed up yet? And they poison her,
but because it's a yellow sun, it won't kill her. Uh,
it'll just like weaken her for a bit, because there's
like is this supposed to like paralyze her. It's like
they don't know that she's Kryptonian. And during Etel they
like rat at them out. They did Orlando Calarisian give
her daughter back.
Speaker 2: Yeah, which are right. I like it. It's good. But
the whole, the whole them not knowing that she's Kryptonian
really doesn't make any sense. Within maybe another ten to
fifteen minutes down the line in the movie when they
start shooting Kryptonite darts at her and saying that I've
been saving these for you.
Speaker 1: Like, wait, just the case he ever runs into one.
He didn't know.
Speaker 2: Really because Krypton blew up years ago, So just in
case I run into a person from Krypton.
Speaker 1: Still, Well, maybe they found the city and they figured
out what happened, like they all died from the poison.
I don't know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So so they like they know of Supergirl and
Superman in the comics for the Woman of Tomorrow, like
they know that they exist, that they're out there in
the world, because when when we do get to the
planet with the green sun that was built for Superman,
if they ever needed to contain so for that to
be in the movie, but then not explain that way
that oh, well this this is here because if we
can ever you know, capture Superman, we can put him
here on this planet, which would have that whole planet thing.
It's it's just better in the book, which it's not
bad in the movie. I love it. It's great.
Speaker 1: I'll read this book afterwards and I'll see how it
affects me.
Speaker 2: Sorry, yeah, again, I don't mean to keep going back
to the book, but it is, you know.
Speaker 1: Spoiler Frank, spoiler Frank. We're doing this the same day
I shot a review for the second adaptation of Dark Phoenix.
So I've seen worse adaptations of comics, and I've seen
those adaptations twice.
Speaker 2: Actually, wow, that's why this was once called One Woman
of Tomorrow, and then they took that out and just yeah.
Speaker 1: They took out Superman Legacy. They took out that subtitle.
They like, remove the subtitles from these.
Speaker 2: Right, because it's not faithful.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but yeah, so a big fight ensues. She's trying
to get Ruthie, and then Ruthie decides she's gonna save uh,
the bar owner's daughter who was just released from a
I guess a tank they had over their big spaceship. Yeah,
so they're buzzing around. I did like this because it's
an action scene where she didn't show up to a
location where people are wearing monster masks. It was a
little different. But yeah, she's zipping around, she's trying to
save people. Meanwhile, Ruthie's trying to save the girl, their daughter,
and it doesn't go really well, although they do get
some assistance from Lobo, who's literally just there for the
one guy. He's really just once that one guy and
all the same. He shows up on the motorcycle kicking
all kinds of ass also is not.
Speaker 2: There to save them, like you're saying, so he's just
there to do his job.
Speaker 1: The Brigands are also super strong, obviously not Supergirl's level really,
but they also have some powers because that tank falls
on him on Krem and he just launches it. But yeah,
the Krem ends up killing the parents and the daughter
that whole badly. They annihilate, which makes Ruthie even angrier
because he killed her family too. And then here's the
problem I have with this, right, so they all get away.
Supergirl throughout the whole movie is trying to teach Ruthie
this lesson that vengeance isn't good and killing won't make
her feel better. Now, another superhero film that did that
was Batman Forever. Not a great film, but Batman Forever
did that. But in that universe, Batman was a killer
who killed the Joker for revenge, so he was speaking
from experience that it didn't make him feel better. I've
seen that, And now this movie with a lot of
flashbacks of me, Oh, she must have killed someone at
some point and that's why she's speaking from authority on
why this won't make her feel better. We never get that,
and I think, I honestly, I think that has to
be something that was cut out, because I'm like, why
is she speaking with much authority on this lesson and
why is she trying to hammer it into Ruthie unless
she actually did this mistake? And which case can we
see that or at least know about it? And I
think that really bothered me, that whole like theme that
they're trying to push there. It really because I leaned
over do you remember, and I went, did she kill someone?
That I missed it.
Speaker 2: Because because like I mean, you have to explain it
in some way, you know, like her telling her not
that that killing Krem isn't going to make her feel
any bit better. But then you know, as we see
with a big spoiler towards the end, that it doesn't.
Why why is Supergirl you know, like harping on this
so much? And uh yeah, I mean there's there's a
really heartfelt moment in Woman of Tomorrow that Ruthie turns
ahere and asks, like, you know, because she says the
same stuff like killing him won't make you feel any
better when we capture him, and Ruthie's like, oh, well,
then the guy who like destroyed your planet, like did
you ever get revenge? And she like doesn't answers, well,
she just says no, but she explains, you know, that
she seems sad and how it really like you know,
tears her up inside, and that she never got her revenge.
So the way this movie ends with that big moment,
you're kind of like, well, why, like why is that
such a big theme in this film? But then you
still do it.
Speaker 1: We had to there had to have been something where
she went she got revenge and it didn't work for her.
The way the movie is setting up, there's no other
reason she'd be trying to teach her out because Supergirl's
killing people left and right in this. But again, I'm
fine with Supergirl doing she doesn't have to. She didn't
wasn't raised by good old godfear in Kansas American parents.
Speaker 2: Right, She's still a warrior. She still has that little
bit of of Krypton in her. I mean, Superman's parents
send them to Earth to be a god in rule people.
So I'm sure that they still had that type of
way that they live, you know, on Krypton, so they
could have that thing where she's like.
Speaker 1: You could be you could be tough, and you don't.
You don't have to be nice, but you have to
be good. So they were a little different. But yeah,
so I think the that's the weakest part of the
script is this whole lesson that we're supposed to be
learned where it's being given to us by a character
and we don't understand why she cares about it so much,
And it really made me it. I was just like, well,
who cares if Ruthie kills him, what she'll end up
awesome Like Supergirl, I don't understand what the downside is. Also,
it's just like Crem is a problem. You should just
want to kill him for the galaxy, not just for revenge.
It's one of those I know. Batman beginning said justice
and revenge aren't the same things. Sometimes they are, sometimes
they are. Maybe I'm just saying. I'm just saying this
guy is clearly a problem. Yeah, and he needs to
be taken out. Who cares? Who does it? And then
like yeah, Supergirl's just like you'll you'll be broken. It's like,
because she killed like a trafficker, I don't think she's
gonna feel too bad about it, to be honest.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean this guy killed her whole family right
in front of her, and then he's just trafficking women
and just have men born. Like, yeah, I think we
can kill.
Speaker 1: So she gets to a planet, she gets dropped off
to where the brigands are and she's like, good, I
got that nice yellow sun. Time to go super god,
super sayan mode and go nuts. But then it turns
out there's a green sun, which I guess she didn't
see when she was out of space. Oh no, they
put a bag over her head.
Speaker 2: She doesn't have x ray vision, bro, No, she does.
Speaker 1: But the way their x ray vision is like different.
You don't get a lot of details because remember she
is x ray and they don't know that she can
x ray, and she's x ray and looking at all
of them. But I guess she couldn't x ray the sun.
Maybe she knew there was a sun, but not what kind.
Speaker 2: Right, I guess she wasn't. It wasn't the first thing
on her mind.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So they drop her off and like have fun, Supergirl,
hope you don't die, and then she falls over and
almost but luckily Ruthie stowed away and grabs her.
Speaker 2: Which I don't have a problem with. That's fine, she
can be stowed away into it. It's it's the way
that it's the way that this whole scene happens. And
you know, it's, like I said earlier in the book,
this whole planet has explained that it was built for Superman.
That for you know, one day, if anyone captures him,
they can put him on this planet. And I feel
like that's such a better like kind of understanding of
what this is here for. Also in the comic there's
dinosaurs on this planet that try to eat Supergirl, and
then Ruthie has to actually defend Supergirl for once instead
of Supergirl defending her, and she scares off, like at
t Rex or something like that.
Speaker 1: Real quick, real quick, Manny. I saw that you were
in the chat earlier. What was Manny was watching like
a DC Comics animated movie and he said he's zoned out,
and when he came back, there were dinosaurs and he
had no idea how they got there. Manny, can you
let me know what movie that was?
Speaker 2: Uh, probably the newest one before let me.
Speaker 1: Let me check my messages. Hold on, because it was
funny because I don't really keep up to date on
a lot of the uh, the animated movies.
Speaker 2: It was probably the one when Bruce Wayne gets sent
back in time. They all get scattered through space right
before Crisis on Infinite Earth's right, it's.
Speaker 1: The Oh oh, Manny says he's gonna call in at
the end so let us all know about it.
Speaker 2: I watched it. It's good.
Speaker 1: Crisis of Infinite Earths. That you're right, that's what he said.
But yeah, so Manny, call in and give us your
review of Crisis of infinite earths later, all right, so
she's down. She drags her to a cave. She brought
her super suit for her, uh, which she was wearing
in Superman. But then it I don't know why. I mean,
it seems like it's a lot to wear. Why I
wouldn't wear it all the time, But like why for
a minute, again, my idea, based on the trailers, I
thought she was like, I don't want to wear this
suit that my nerdy cousin wants me to wear. But
that's not really any of it.
Speaker 2: But it could also be that, you know, she doesn't
want to be recognized, like maybe Superman and Supergirl are
like known through the universe. Maybe they are to where
you know, she wants to go out drinking and partying
and doesn't want anyone to see her crest on her chest.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you think she only wears it when she's on Earth.
She's like, oh Earth, I got to wear the suit.
Oh yeah. So then we get a flashback of her
landing on Earth right outside the Fortress, which again is
kind of like the old comic like, Hi, Superman, I'm here.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Uh. With Crypto, she was able to take Crypto with
her and Superman's like, hey, how you doing, And people
are like, why doesn't he know Kryptonian. I'm like, well,
he never had an excuse to use it before, and
he has robots that can translate it. Like, he literally
has no one to speak Kryptonian with. He never thought
he'd see one, so he never actually learned on his own.
Speaker 2: And you know what if she did speak English and
not Crypto, and then we wouldn't get this funny scene.
So I'm wrong.
Speaker 1: You're also also Frank, Frank, I've had a lot of
time to learn how to speak Italian and I never bothered.
And I am someone who eventually has to meet relatives
who are like, ah, that's relan. I'm just like, Hi,
I'm Tony. I don't know Italian. Good.
Speaker 2: Next time my Italian cousins in town, I'm bringing him
to your house so you can speak Italian like that
to him and see how he feels welcome.
Speaker 1: I know why my dad didn't teach me Italian. So yeah,
he welcomes her to Earth and she has that line
where like why is he wearing his underwear? Which okay,
the quips, the quips super just superhero movies in general.
The wacky one liners and the quips and how every
scene needs a comedic button. I'm sorry, but Choss Whedon
was the best one at that and everyone has been
wanting to recreate Joss Whedon, especially since he got canceled.
They want to also do equips. James Gunn is really
the only one who gets close, but even Hill fuck
up like Guardians of the Galaxy two has too many
one lighters and equips and tags that don't work. He's
the only one that gets close. And then so it's
like Joss Wheden and James Gunn and then everyone underneath
it gets worse and worse and worse. Uh, these were
that joke wouldn't bother me if there weren't like ten
other like her being like, things are gonna look really
bad for you guys. That stuff is annoying, But that's
superhero things across the board, not limited to this movie, right.
Speaker 2: They're getting too used to to trying to be funny
and serious moments and all that. But I also think
I also think that Craig Gillespie was given this film
and and was I mean, people were saying it when
the trailer started coming out that it felt like he
was trying to bring a James Gunn vibe to it.
I mean, even with the needle drops and the type
of music that we got through this film that wasn't
It wasn't bangers like like James Gunn does. I mean,
I have a whole playlist on my Spotify from whenever
James Gunn puts out a movie, and I'll add the
songs that I like that I've never had before to them.
Speaker 1: Well, they're already when we get to the big needle Drop,
They're already playing the blame game.
Speaker 2: Dude, that one was. I think we looked at each
other at the end, like are we.
Speaker 1: I was fine with the music in this, I mean,
the most of the music in this was fine, and
how they used it was fine except for that one.
But yeah, and at some point I don't know where
this actually plays, but at some point we see her
flashing back to like her apartment on in Metropolis, and
now she does she feels lost there and Crypto is
the only one that reminds her of home, so she's like,
home is wherever you are. That's like the running thing
because it's the only thing she actually has from her home.
She has Clark, but she doesn't know him and he
wasn't raised there. It was like a whole thing. So yeah,
we can tell she feels loss in the universe.
Speaker 2: And these hits like like Milli Alcock does a really
great job as Supergirl, especially in these emotional moments, like
she's she's a fantastic actor and it really it really
shines through a lot of these moments. It's just such
a shame good material.
Speaker 1: Again, I think she's fine, but I wouldn't mind her
as just being a supporting character going forward. But yeah,
we even get to see when she got the super
Suit and he's like, it's so they know we're good.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: But yeah. Then I don't have any stills of this
because it's in other trailers, But there's this whole little
sub section while she's dying and going through her memories
where Ruthie and Lobo are in jail and she's like,
why are you in here? Aren't you super strong? And
he kind of is like, oh, I uh kind of
faked being captured so I could get closer to my target.
That's like the right uh, And he like he's basically like, hey,
you know you're gonna have to get the keys from
the guard and uh, this is where KREM's he made.
Krem Is like, yeah, we didn't care about the Kryptonian.
We can't really mate with them anyway. He's like, but
you girl, I'm gonna get you. I'm gonna mate with
all of you because I'm a creep and a weirdo.
And then she like fakes being it, like she's like,
I actually want to see him, and then she beats
up the guard and Lobo was impressed, and I did
love her. Lobo was just like, come on, give me
the keys, let me out, let me out, and she's like, fine,
but you have to do this, and she goes open
the door and then he just kicks it open. He
could have left it any time if she would do it.
Speaker 2: You're right, I love Lobo. I mean that's great that
you threw him in this film. Yeah, I mean it's
it's a comic book movie.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 2: She got to just spend a little bit of belief
that she just you know, beat up this big guard.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I'm fine with all the Lobo stuff. But at the
same time, if you want to tell like a more
cohesive story, you could have cut him out. Like this
movie's under two hours.
Speaker 2: Right on an hour forty five.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I feel like it could have been longer
and maybe helped with some of the pacing if we
had more moments where they breathed with a little bit
more variety. But you had to shove Logo in it,
so you know, we were limited on what we could do.
Speaker 2: And then and then she just jumps straight up through
the vent that's like fifteen to feed up high, which
I was like, okay, I'll let that slide.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she sneaks around, she gets her sword, and then
Krem finds her on top of the ship, but before
he can kill her, Supergirl shows up blasting Joan jet
or something. Some music's playing. This was a good moment
for a needle drop. There's been plenty of good needle
drops in this and this was a fun one. And
I love that she's finally superpowered and then they hit
her with like kryptonite right away, you know, like ah,
and even Logo joins in the fight. I loved him
showing up on the motorcycle just dropping bombs and everything everywhere.
Speaker 2: And it flies, and it finally flies. When he first
showed up in the first part, it didn't, so I
was like, oh, that's definitely spaceship, right, and then he
started flying.
Speaker 1: I was like, yes, we got it, and I thought
it was a fizzy Everything looks good here. It looks
I mean, it's obviously green screens up, but like it
actually works. It feels like a real environment.
Speaker 2: Do you know what it reminds me of? What it
reminds me of? The final scene of the Flash movie
from twenty twenty doesn't It doesn't look like that out
in the desert planet. Then there's some some other spaceships
flying around, Like I kind.
Speaker 1: Of this looks way better than that.
Speaker 2: Don't get me wrong. Don't get me wrong. It looks better.
It looks way better when I was watching.
Speaker 1: It, sci fi stuff that was in a desert if
you we could say every episode of Power Rangers, this
is reminding us.
Speaker 2: But like with the Supergirl, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Yeah, but no, I thought it was a fun, exciting scene.
They crashed the ship. You probably could have skipped to
a finale here, but instead they have to make it longer.
They have to have her go in and save all
the slave girls.
Speaker 2: We haven't spent any time with that. We don't really like,
you know.
Speaker 1: It automatically sympathize with them, right, I know.
Speaker 2: That's why I wish it was kind of something different
that we could have had a little bit of time with.
But also then this is my point with the Kryptonite darts,
to where it's like he's been I've been waiting for
you with this, and it's like, well, I mean, then
you should have something in there, so some kind of
throwaway line that like he knows of Supergirl and Superman
are in the universe, like that should be like a
known thing, not like, you know, well, why does he
have kryptonite arts and stuff like that? But it's fine,
I'll let it slide.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I had but yeah, so she frees them
and then this is where things start looking very green screening. Uh,
and I'm like, oh man, were these like reshoot? Was
this something that was added? Because this doesn't the last
sequence looked great. This sequence doesn't look good and it's
a bunch of dust. It should look better, it should
be easier. But yeah, Supergirl comes starts kicking ass, and
then we get a bizarre needle drop Jimmy Eat World's
the Middle. It's that song that was used for the
New Guy trailer. Don't ask how I remember that. Oh
but it's not just Jimmy eat. World's the Middle. It
is a slowed down version sung by a lady, and
it's just not needed for this.
Speaker 2: By Kelty Gray and Kid Motel, I won't. I listened
to that song on the way home and I was like, oh,
this is this is a good rendition, Like it brings
a tear to my eye, because even in that moment
of the film, like that song alone, like started like,
I mean, I'm I'm if you listen to me before,
I'm a big crier, like I'm real easy to you know,
get that emotional dread going.
Speaker 1: You better stop that before.
Speaker 2: That's why I'm not fighting, you know what, fuck it,
I'm going all the way. And then I started to
I started the shed like this little bit of a tear.
Speaker 1: But then I tell you, I was giggling, Like what I.
Speaker 2: Was like, does this song really fit this emotion what
we're doing here right now.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's a bad cover, It's just we
already had a drop song in the previous fight. Just
use the score wrapping up they put this and she
has no connection. I'm like, not that she needs a
connection with the song, but it was just a weird song,
weird cover, and apparently they went through forty five different
songs and now director Craig Glespi was like, oh yeah,
James Gunn helped me pick that one. So I'm like, oh,
they already doing the blame game.
Speaker 2: Which it's a great song. Again, It's just yeah, to
your point, you didn't need to do that again. There's
so there's so many moments in this film that that
they reuse moments that got you going before, and they
try to do it again, and it's like, dude, we
just we just did this, like we don't we don't
need the same kind of moment again. So I'm like,
there's just.
Speaker 1: No payoff as cringe as the I'm just a Girl
scene from Captain marvel Is. It works a little bit
better as a needle drop than here. It's just we
already had the the pop saw the song portion of
the fight. This was definitely the score version of the fight.
And I don't know why they at I don't know
the test reading forty five different songs. It should have
been zero songs. It should have just been the score.
We had enough music. We have enough enough songs in
the movie.
Speaker 2: Now, what that says. They tried fea different songs there.
Speaker 1: Wow, what do you think the others songs were?
Speaker 2: I wish I wish they just went with the first one. Whatever.
The first choice is, just just go with it whatever
you feel.
Speaker 1: Just I wish it was raining men, it's rat because
she's beating them all up. It's screen. And then now
it should have been bitches ain't ship, bitches ain't ship,
but something really.
Speaker 2: Give me, give me eminem stand, give me, give me
a dido needle drop.
Speaker 1: Right, there's a slow down version of Alonis foresaid I'm
a bitch, I'm a lover, I'm a shop.
Speaker 3: Ship.
Speaker 1: It's and I feel bad because everything she's doing is
actually pretty cool, you know what I think they're trying to.
I wonder if there was some panicking here where they're like, hey,
how do we spice this movie up? What did people
like from Superman? And there's that scene where Lois is
in the middle and the camera's moving around while mister
Terrific is kicking all this ass right, and they're like, oh, well,
I have a see we're Ruthie's in the middle and
Superherl's kicking ass to a song. But like you didn't
have to do that, and you didn't need to pick
that song.
Speaker 2: Just reusing things again? What are people like? What worked
last time, Let's do it again? Like things like that.
It's like, ah, what does James Gunn do? What would
James gun want? But it's like, dude, Craig Gilesbie, dude,
you're Craig gilespie, just be Craig.
Speaker 1: I guess they were worried about making a female centered
superhero movie because most of them haven't worked post like
Captain Marvel worked, Wonder Woman work, but after that it
was all downhill, in which case, how about you don't
give her own movie yet and work up to it.
Speaker 2: I like the choice of them continuing with the superfamily
and building you know, this connection of.
Speaker 1: It, but like if they didn't have that much confidence,
that's really bizarre moment. But yeah, it ends up with
Ruthie facing off against Krem and Lobo is sitting on
a cliff watching this for no reason, and he already
killed the guy he was there for. He could have
just left, but he's watching and Ruthie is ready to
kill him, but then he doesn't. Oh. I did like
the moment where Lobo was gonna kill Crem, but Supergirl
was like no, because he's got the antidote on him
that he needs what she needs. Yeah, but yeah, Supergirl's like,
don't you're not broken, get out of here. Leave And
then Supergirl's like, I'm gonna kill you instead. I'm like, well,
I mean that's still Ruthie kind of getting her revenge
because now she's just got a friend to do her
dirty work. If anything, she's gonna feel guilt for not
doing it on her own.
Speaker 2: Right because now you're killing him right in front of
her after telling her not.
Speaker 1: To look away. She put it away away, but like she's.
Speaker 2: Still experiencing the death, like she just went through that
whole fight, Like she's finally at that moment she has
the sword to Crem's throat, and then Superhero comes in,
takes it away, tells her to turn around, and then
stabs him herself to where it's like, dude, that's the
same thing, man, Like you pretty much just guided her
hand into killing this guy, Like she should have just
let him let her kill him, or just or don't
kill him, lock him away or send him with Lobo
Lobo still creeping around the corner and be like yo, dude,
tie this guy up with change, drag him through the dirt,
drag him through space, and lock him up with the
rest of your people. You know.
Speaker 1: Honestly, Ruthie looks like she lives in a violent environment.
Her family were making weapons. She probably should learn to kill.
She might have to defend herself.
Speaker 2: You're an arms dealer, like yeah, and she to make swords.
Speaker 1: You won't honor your family if you kill. You know,
your family that made weapons that kill think of them.
Speaker 2: And I'm like, oh, says who like something?
Speaker 1: They would? One hundred one.
Speaker 2: Actually, once Ruthie hits a certain age thirteen years old,
she has to kill a man if she wants to
stay in the family.
Speaker 1: Don't you know that? Uh so, yeah, Superhero kills her
and then they go back. They give Crypto the antidote.
He's cured right away. Then it leaves with her saying
she's going to go home. She's like, you know what,
you lost your family? It made her. I did like
this where Ruthie losing her family made her realize, you
know what, I actually do have family left. I probably
should spend time with them instead of crying about the
ones that I lost. So that's kind of her motivation
to go back to Metropolis. She says she'll hang out
with Ruthie for a few days and then she's going
to go back. And then it ends with her showing
up at Clark's apartment with Crypto and she's like, Hey,
I'm gonna stay. And I love that he said. I
love that he said, Like I really couldn't use her
help with the last guy, because last we saw, she
showed up after the Lex Luthor thing and then just
took off. She didn't even bother to get update on anything.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I guess after Superman, right, Like this is
like you know in that like when he says help
me with the last guy, he doesn't mean Lex and
all that, Right, is that what you means?
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe something happened between, But this definitely is after
the first Superman movie, right? Also, why doesn't she give him?
Does Crypto also wear the little cape on Earth but
not in space? I was upset he didn't wear his
little cape. I want a Crypto to wear his dumb
little cape. That's right.
Speaker 2: Also, the ending, the ending of Superman is her coming
in like a like a child and barging in and
all drunk, and you know, trying to figure out who
she is still in life and this and that. But
then the end of this mirrors it the same way
in the first one in Superman, she comes into the
Fortress of Solitude, So that's like, uh, you know, it's
still a piece of Crypton that she's stumbling into. Maybe
she hasn't you know, uh, maybe she has never mind,
But she comes in all drunk in a mess, to
where at the end of this one she's more put together.
She's just been through this whole emotional journey and adventure
of understanding family through Ruthie and what life should be about.
And yeah, you just lost all of your family, but
you still have a cousin at you know, on Earth
that you can still build that bond with. So it
kind of I like the the mirroring and the night
and day of how she's really grown up and kind
of getting to that point now to where she's like, Okay,
let me let me lean into this, let me be
close to my cousin, open up, and let me give
Earth a chance. So yeah, it's like what movie did
I say this about when we watched The Batman with
Robert Pattinson. YEA, when we want to be my whole right,
But my whole review of that, my whole point of
it at the end, I think was that I think
I'm more excited for what's to come than what I
just watched on screen, because they just built this whole
universe and built me up with this character. So same
thing with Supergirl. I think I'm more excited for what's
to come than what I just sat through. But I'm
still excited. I still enjoyed it.
Speaker 1: Honestly, I like this wasn't the right time to do
this story. It feels happy. I actually would have just
liked a Supergirl movie that was hurt trying to deal
with Clark, like adjusting to living with Clark not really
being as hype on Earth as he is, and seeing
something that that's like the most interesting stuff to me
that I think, And we didn't get to see any
of it really.
Speaker 2: Maybe tomorrow, maybe that's yeah, But at this point.
Speaker 1: I already had her little character arcs, so maybe we'll
see a little bit more of it. But you know,
IWA's been.
Speaker 2: Going on for sixteen seventeen years, you know, and there's
still character arcs going on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would have just done I don't know, I
would have. I would have had her in like maybe
a Superman movie first before spinning off into this story.
Speaker 2: Maybe that's just.
Speaker 1: What I would have done. But whatever, it opened the
universe up a little bit. Again, it wasn't terrible. I've
been calling it a mixed bag. The thing is, there
a lot of the Twitter people and whatnot, and you
know you're anti woke YouTubers. They're trying, they really want
this to be Madam Webb or something on that level,
and I'm like, it's just well, the Snyder calls one
of them, but no, that's usually just like the women
were and everything. It's not super feminist y really. It
doesn't really pander or shove stuff down your throat like
it is just a story about just like a sad girl. Really,
but it's just the script writing. The story just has
a few too many holes. The theme doesn't. The lesson
really bothers me. It feels like it just could have
been better with the script, a better script, some rewrite,
someone could have came in and punched this up a
little bit better. Yeah, and I would love to see
what we lost. I want to know what was cut
out that might have actually helped. But other than that,
I think the characters were fine. I think she plays
the part well. I think Lobo played the part well,
and the little the few scenes we have with her
and David Kornz went, I want to see what their
chemistry is like when they're together for most of a film.
That'd be interesting in to think.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'd imagine that that's you know, that they
have great chemistry together from from just what we've seen
a little bit, I mean from uh behind the scenes
interactions that that I've seen, they seem really close and uh,
you know, uh taking care of each other and you know,
it's it's looking forward to the future. But there's a
lot of moments in this film that I really enjoyed.
I really like, you know, it kind of hit on
an emotional level and it was fun. I mean, the
action was it was exciting and had a good time
with that. Millie Alcock, Jason Momoa, I mean, all the
characters through it. Everyone did their job correctly. It's just
to your point, yeah, a little bit better writing and uh,
you know, getting us where we want to be coming
d Universe my whole life for this.
Speaker 1: But I mean, like I said, I well, it looks
like a lot of people are not rushing out to
the theater. I don't know why they released this right
after Toy Story, before Spider Man and Minions. I'm like, man,
you really sandwich this in here at a really awkward time.
But we weren't you telling me? This movie made like a
ton of money in like merchandise already.
Speaker 2: So before the even even first big showing, it made
a hundred million dollars in just merchandising deals. But then
also to your point, last year Superman came out on
the second week of July July seventeenth, whatever it was,
And this year on July seventeenth, you're getting The Odyssey.
So do you want to put it there again because
you probably get screwed.
Speaker 1: Oh, I feel like there's less hype for the Odyssey. Really,
I don't see the boy. I mean, I'm hype for it,
but I don't see people like really like, I don't know.
For some reason, people were really into Oppenheimer. Yeah, but yeah,
real quick, you guys might be saying, where's Lauren. You
guys did Supergirl with Lauren? Why see she there for
this one? Lauren did go see the movie and she
had this to say me Harney meet me peepy and
I'm sorry. I'm sorry that was the wrong clip. She
meant to say this every man should just be okay. No,
would you like to know what Lauren actually thought of Supergirl?
Which one shout out to her. I didn't get it
in time, but she bought me the Supergirl foreskin jacket cup,
so I will try to have that on the next
wrap up. She bought it for me, but I said, okay, hey,
let us know what your thoughts were on Supergirl if
you can. She goes, this is how you know it's
good Tony dot dot dot. I'm like, uh oh, I
left halfway through and got my money back. No. Well, plus,
I saw it in three D and it was not good,
That's all I Then I laughed and she went she said,
maybe I'll give it another chance when it's not in theaters.
It wasn't the most exciting theater movie. Really, I feel
like this might play better on streaming.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, who's still seeing movies in three D?
Speaker 1: Yeah? That was weird. I don't know who's really going
to see three D movie these days. I don't know
if she meant with like a, I don't know, uh,
but yeah, so Lauren did not enjoy the movie, but
she enjoys your comments defending her in those shorts I
put out where I'm being really really mean to her.
Real quick, We've got special surprise guests. You know the
last live episode I did with Nanny, four people wanted
to call in and Ruin ruin him for him, but Manny, hello.
Speaker 3: What's up?
Speaker 2: Guys? By the way, I couldn't.
Speaker 1: I couldn't get a girl for this movie. But luckily
the three black men who talk about superhero movies are
back again. We're back, baby. We should all be upset
because the last Supergirl was Latina. Now it's back to
being a white girl. We loved. We lost a diversity university. Earlier,
Nanny tell us about crisis on Infinite Earth. So movie
that's based off a comic I've read that I haven't
even gotten to yet.
Speaker 6: It confusing as fun, and it's not one movie, it's
three movies. The first time watching it, I wasn't sure
that they were related at first, Like.
Speaker 3: It's it makes no sense.
Speaker 6: It's like there's a bunch of different parallel universes and
superheroes being taken from each one, but there's no explaining
why each superhero is taken from each universe. There's not
much of a difference between a lot of the universes.
Speaker 5: You don't, all right, Sorry, That's why I'm trying to
enjoy the movie so I can see which time ticking down.
Speaker 6: Doesn't make any sense. You get to spend like no
time with any of the actual heroes. It's mostly just
a flash running for no reason. And then he's confused,
and there's other confused characters, and at the end of
the movie it's time to explained. But I can't remember
if it's resolved in any way real quick.
Speaker 1: So this is Crisis if on Earth. That was the
eighties one, right, it's not infinite Crisis.
Speaker 2: That's the eighty four that's actually the one that Supergirl.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gonna say, Manny, you know it's funny.
In nineteen eighty four. I don't know if you saw
her Super Show review. Right before the movie came out,
they canceled her comics, and then after the movie came out,
they killed her in Crisis.
Speaker 2: Through this through this comic book, which I just heard.
Just realized the other day that the comics came out
the same year as that, as the last one that
we reviewed, and we were like, why did she disappear?
And we were like, oh, yeah, because they killed her
in Crisis. But then they brought her back because Dark
Side brings her back later on in the nineties for
Infinite Crisis, and then she's like the two thousands.
Speaker 1: No, she was already back at that point. She was
in Superman Supergirl, which the animated movie is called Apocalypse.
But anyway, nanny, you want to read super chats with us?
Oh yeah, awesome, here we go here Razor of the Blade,
which is carry You Pilot. I don't know why it
does his name like that for four ninety nine. Seen
it the other day with the kids. Enjoyed it, but
it ended up feeling kind of safe. Yeah, it doesn't
really take a lot of risks that one.
Speaker 2: Wow, there's not a lot of risks with it. It's
just plain old Supergirl.
Speaker 1: Manny. There are three black people in the movie and
they all get killed. How do you feel about that?
Speaker 3: I thought, we gotta move past us already.
Speaker 1: We have to. We have to make it.
Speaker 3: Anything.
Speaker 1: Carry a Pilot for one. Also feel like Jason Momorro
Momoa was born to play Lobo. He was a good lobo.
He wasn't born a good lobo. Harvey C. Harve C
for ninety nine cents. That's nothing. Apparently, that's just ninety
nine cents. Thank you, Anthony Hudak for two dollars seven
point five out of ten. For me, felt more space
Western than Mando the Mandalorian God. That it it. They
they said they turned their season four into a movie,
and it feels like a show that was squeezed into
a movie. Uh yeah, out Beavis, EJ three and Y
for four ninety nine twenty twenty five. Superman was good,
but it was barely a year ago. Did anyone want
this so soon? I don't think audiences really care about
superheroes anymore. No matter it being soon doesn't really matter.
Remember Ironman and Incredible Holpe came out like what a
few months from each other.
Speaker 2: But I think he thinks like it's just super Family, Like,
you know, we got a Superman then a Supergirl right after,
instead of like a Batman or Green Landing right after
something like that.
Speaker 1: But we're getting Green Lantern Show, right.
Speaker 2: I think that they're building up, you know, like the
super Family for a reason to kind of be the
center of manager.
Speaker 1: So you Superman twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3: No, not yet.
Speaker 6: I saw you guys just review, which reminds me you
you were complain about not spending enough time with Crypto,
but wasn't the whole Superman movie, Like Crypto was a
major part of it.
Speaker 2: Not that movie.
Speaker 1: For this movie is just saying, well, he was a
major part and everyone loved him, and this movie's just
kind of laying down it, Like, yeah, Superman twenty twenty
five was fun. It was fun, and I don't.
Speaker 2: Think people are getting well, were uh tired of superhero movies.
I think that we just rally around really good films,
doesn't matter what it is, so you know, some of.
Speaker 1: Them are tired. I think marveled more so because you
get like a decent like Thunderbolts was okay. The problem
is you had to watch a lot of lame stuff
to know who anyone was. And then Fantastic Four, other
than making a silver Surfer a Tiny Lady was fine.
But everyone's just kind of tapped out of that mark
it that was a good movie, Huh.
Speaker 2: I don't. I didn't like Fantastic Four that much. I
felt like it was rushed. I felt like it was
just a bunch of clips thrown together to get to
a point.
Speaker 1: I dug it. Other than Silver Surfer, I thought it
was okay Beavis again, the Chad Schumacher versus the Virgin
James Gut Chad Virgin meme still going Bean Burritos one
ninety nine. Tony, you look cute. Please don't hit me.
Oh you guys wanna know what happened to me? Had
too many games yesterday? Yeah, so I'm working behind the scenes,
worked yesterday and tomorrow. I'm just like editing for them.
But I walk in and there was like a fan
who saw me and said, hey, hack the movies looking thin,
And I was like, oh sweet, I actually gained a
lot of weight. But I've been working out harder and
my leg's getting better, and I'm glad that people are
starting to see the results of me getting back at it.
Speaker 3: I'm like, they're just famous enough for people to lie.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so here's here's the thing. I thanked him. He
walked away, and then he came back and he went,
I wasn't joking or being me by the way, I
really need it. And I'm looking at him like, no,
I believe you, but now but it's okay, he walked
away like was he lying?
Speaker 2: Make sure you tell me looks good?
Speaker 1: Hold on, there was another gifts by someone's speed Demon.
They sent a goat trophy. What the fuck is this?
That's now a thing I have to look out for.
Are these weird trophies that pop out for a thousand jewels?
How much is a jewel on YouTube?
Speaker 3: I think a thousand jewels is about ten cents?
Speaker 1: Hold on thousand jewels.
Speaker 6: There's no direct translation. I've seen youtubeers trying to look
it up before.
Speaker 1: It's a virtual currency.
Speaker 3: Sweet.
Speaker 1: Hold on, viewers send gifts. He's and jewels creators received rubies.
The converse eight is one cent per ruby, meaning a
gift of a thousand jewels is maybe ten dollars in revenue.
What the fuck is this? And now I'm gonna get
yelled at for not seeing it because it doesn't show
up at the stream yard. Come on YouTube, but send
a million jewels anyway.
Speaker 3: Or one hundred dollars a red boy.
Speaker 1: As I hear they're called dude of buys for five dollars.
What are Tony and Frank's James gun fight scene songs?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 1: What are our favorite James gun like?
Speaker 2: What would ours be if we put a song?
Speaker 1: Oh oh oh, man, I can't do it because you
know everyone knows. My favorite song is total Eclips of
the Heart and this year Ready or Not Too, they
had a fight scene to Total Clips of the Heart.
It was actually clips Sunshine walking on. That would be
a good one, give me.
Speaker 2: They should have put at the at the end of
this film. They should have put Uptown Girl, Billy.
Speaker 1: Joel up Town.
Speaker 2: Or Piano Man. You could have thrown a little piano
man as Superman kicks some ass. You know, something cool
like that. I in a bar, in a bar, piano
Superman kicks. No, Batman kicks some ass in a bar
as piano Man's playing in the background.
Speaker 1: Many pick another song while I think of Fine hold.
Speaker 3: On something by M F. Doom.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a great always.
Speaker 2: If they don't put him in Doomsday dude.
Speaker 3: Oh wait, no one to have all that power.
Speaker 1: They did that for Power Rangers twenty seventeen.
Speaker 3: They did.
Speaker 1: They did, Oh you know what, hadaways? What is love?
I think that'd be a good one. Baby don't hurt me,
and he could be punching people. He can be punching
literal babies. I don't know as someone who listens to
a night at the Roxbury Mix more than he would
like to admit, that's what I would go to. That's awesome, okay,
Oh Crystal Quinn for five dollars. She's at too many
games right now with Kit Osborne, who's wearing a shirt
that I gave him that was like misprinted, so it's
all faded and gross and I'm like, come on, man,
get a new shirt. Stop wearing the like broken shirt. Anyway,
She says, I can't hear anything they're saying because I'm
watching the Jason's concert at too many games with Kit,
but I get to see Frank's pretty face worth it.
There you go.
Speaker 6: Uh No one has terrified that they're not joking.
Speaker 2: The next comment's gonna be like, I swear I really
meant it.
Speaker 1: I can't believe it. Bet it. You look good like
I believe to you as that awesome uh Rory Wood
signed up to be a YouTube Pai chatnel member. Thank
you so much? Does that not even? Oh yeah, I
did show okay the Flute Wizard for five dollars. Pointers
Sisters joke with its raining men was solid. Oh yeah,
that was my slow re rendition of a train Man.
Much love to Tony and Frank. You guys always bring
the smiles and good banter. Flute Toots, I don't like
saying flute toots, I don't like. Are you still excited
for the upcoming DC movies? Yeah? So far, this current
DC thing, this is the only weak one I've the
only one I really thought was weak. Creature Commanders was fine,
Peacemaker was fine, Superman's fine. They're all just fine. They're
not like, this is the greatest thing I've ever seen
in the history of the world. Uh. Yeah, I'll be
excited until they start sucking. They ever, like really start sucking,
like in a row.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, then they'll have an issue. I mean, I
really love the vibe of it all. I love I
love the built out universe. I love that there's been
meta humans, you know, for years and years already because
it's going with the comics. I mean, there was meta
humans from the beginning of time with Vandal Savage and
going through it all with just Justice Society in the
early nineteen hundreds and all that. And I think that
they can really build out this universe really well. And
I'm excited for Lanterns because as much as I wanted
a young Hal Jordan, I'm really interested to see what
they're doing with an older one and a young John
Stewart to really flesh out this universe, to show that,
you know, this has been ongoing and we're just stepping into.
Speaker 1: It real quick. Manny, Why haven't you jumped on this
new universe yet? What's keeping you from jumping on?
Speaker 6: Yeah, Manny, I've got a lot of life things going.
Speaker 1: On, all right, Manny. They put up lat Superhero and
Superman for you and gave him his own three minute
long fight scene and you couldn't show up out dare you?
Speaker 3: Mister terrific?
Speaker 1: Yeah it was mister terrific. Of course it was mister Terrific.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he was in the tatoon I watched.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, you're also getting a black green lantern. Is that
going to make you watch the Lantern show?
Speaker 3: Probably?
Speaker 1: Well you shouldn't because that's supporting Ethan van Sky. I
remember he ghosted us for the steal episodes.
Speaker 2: Oh no, we'll have to review it.
Speaker 1: Oh hold on, I didn't read that one.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 1: Uh. This should have had a November December release in
my opinion. Also, this is definitely dcu's own The Incredible
Hulk in too many ways. So people remember the MCU
They're like, he used to be great, but we forget
the Incredible Hulk movie. I know people are pretending to
like it now because Mark Ruffalos woke or whatever, but
the ed more Incredible Hulk. When that came out, everyone's like.
People were probably like, oh, it wasn't as bad as
the last one. I wasn't I love two thousand and three,
But most people were like, yeah, one kind of sucked,
and that's like it. Everyone forgets about that movie. Most
people even forget it's even a movie. Yeah. Uh oh,
we got Lina for fortnine. Yeah just white what no? Not?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Adam twenty two's girlfriend Lena the plug famous porn couple,
thank you for Beautiful ten podcast.
Speaker 3: That's all.
Speaker 1: Uh, just paying my monthly fee for you to continue
publicly being my friend. Thank you for paying your monthly fee.
I see a friend right now in the chat who's
not paying.
Speaker 2: Uh Adam, whoa I gotta pay to be your friend.
Speaker 1: No, you're one of the good ones. But Adam, I
think should pay to be on my friend. By the way,
Adam's in the chat, Adam, I need you to cover
your ears and close your eyes. No one reminded Adam
that he never wrote the video I was supposed to
do as pub for losing our Oscar bet. He's like,
he's like five months late, because when we always do
these bets and the loser has to do a video
written by the winner, and I always lose. But he forgot.
He forgot to write one. No one reminded him. So
I don't have to do a video about me being
a loser, do it, Adam? I see you when they're Adam, Uh, okay,
here we go Rory Wood for ten dollars. Do you
think that nudity has a place in comic book movies? Well,
I mean depending on the character, what the movie is. Sure,
I don't think it's Supergirl. I don't think a Supergirl movie.
I don't think we need it nudity in that. I
don't know. How do you weigh in, gentlemen?
Speaker 3: I mean, why else would I take my kid to
see it?
Speaker 1: That's gonna be like my grandfather took me to a
Starship Troopers and there's that huge shower naked scene with
like all these naked girls. Like ah, I don't know
if I should be watching.
Speaker 2: With my grandpa. I don't know. Face might have some nudity.
It's rated hard.
Speaker 1: Real quick, hold on, I don't know. Uh if she
was top off? Would you have seen this movie in theaters? Manny?
Easily there we go, James, James un trying to get
the Manny demographic, m F Doom songs and naked James.
You know what they have to do that. They have
to do an adaptation of that Batman comic where you
saw the outline of the dick. They need to do that.
They need to make that movie. My favorite was there
was controversy. I forget if he was I forget if
he was circumcised or not, but I remember people were arguing.
Speaker 5: About my Batman, My Batman?
Speaker 1: Would it be cut? Now?
Speaker 3: Is redup to everybody?
Speaker 1: My favorite is years ago Frank our friend Dick, Dick Masterson.
He had one of those anti circumcision guys come on
and call into his show, and he seemed like level
headed and made some good points, and then they found
out answards he like went to some seminar and took
his pants off or something, and they're like, oh, yeah,
maybe that's why his message isn't getting out sorry. He
sounds like a levelheaded guy. Why isn't he getting more respect?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 1: Oh? Probably? Oh man, I think that's it a super
chat wise Frank, what do you got going on? What's
up with you?
Speaker 2: Oh well, I'm here right now and hack the movies
and my my head set and my WiFi and my.
Speaker 1: Microphone, going to your house and I'm gonna do all
this ahead of time.
Speaker 2: Oh I lasted, I lasted baby an hour forty one?
Count it any count council me?
Speaker 1: And then maybe oh sorry, finished your I have a
movie out right now on to be called Neighbor.
Speaker 2: That's a solid watch. It's out there for free on
to b right now. I have a couple other movies
that are coming down the pipeline. If you follow me

Speaker 1: That was good? That was good?
Speaker 2: Also, James, James gunn dude, you know can be cool.
Speaker 1: Bro. You know.
Speaker 2: Audition for a couple?
Speaker 1: Did you make any No? I was bringing number four
in the back of his head.
Speaker 3: Dude.
Speaker 2: I tried, man, I tried. I always try looking for
DC castings. I haven't seen one since Superman Last last
two years ago, and I'm so I'm so upset that
I flopped that audition. I really am.
Speaker 1: Get a Manny, Manny, what do you got coming up?
Speaker 6: I've got two podcasts right now, most important this and
we like Art. And if you're in the East Coast Philly,
New York City, Baltimore, or Boston, I'm gonna be on
quote unquote tall.
Speaker 3: With value select nice. Come see me in the middle
of August.
Speaker 2: Being a city near you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, wait, uh give me, give me those dates are
unless you already posted them. I'm gonna I've been wanting
to see you perform live and I only ever got
to see it once and it changed my.
Speaker 6: Allright, bet I'll make the fly now. I'm protrastinating on
that right now.
Speaker 1: Swootwizzard came back on. If you had to gauge how
far the movies are going this year, would you say
things are looking up or feeling kind of mid? Even
the Horror No Horrors doing super well. Obsession is like
the biggest hit of the summer. Back Rooms was great.
I think Herr's doing great this year.
Speaker 2: I think this year is opening up studios eyes to
change the game. Maybe it's you know not. I mean,
I think it's heading towards a certain direction with these
you know, up and coming filmmakers and lower budget films
that I think things are about to take a turn
for the good.
Speaker 3: So nice.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think we're in a good place right now.
Audiences want more like original stuff. I mean, obviously, I'm
a superhero nerd, so I'll watch the superhero stuf. But
it has to be good. That has to be good.
And also don't I'll talk about he Man on the
monthly wrap up spoiler. I thought it was good, but
you had to have known that wasn't gonna make a
lot of money.
Speaker 2: And then they just they just announced a ThunderCats and
it's like, wait a minute, do we not just learn
from he Man?
Speaker 1: Although the he Man marketing is really fun because then like, like,
as the movie was bombing, they put out a music
video making fun of the two thousands of meme and
somewhere retweeted They're like, I've never seen a movie care
less about bombing at the box office. But yeah, all right, guys,
that is it for me. I gotta get some sleep
so I can wait. Too many games. Oh yeah, I have.
Speaker 6: I've got a question for you guys, just in general
superher of knowledge. So I've been watching more animated movies today.
I watched Teen Titans first, Young Justice.
Speaker 3: Nice. Does Damian raids kill people?
Speaker 1: Yes? Well, when I was reading in the two thousands
when he was first introduced, yes, I don't know about
modern continuities, but that was the thing. He was raised
by Tali Algol and the League of Shadows, so he
was trained to be a killer.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I was just yeah, I was just minding my business.
And next week, I know, I see Robin with two
swords just tutting heads off.
Speaker 1: I'm like, god, I have the original the individual comics
of the Son of Batman Ark when they first introduced
Damian Wayne and I love where he's just like yeah,
they because they fight some like mummy guy, some like
asshole as a mummy gimmick, and like Damian escapes that
he comes back and robins or nightcrawlers is like where
weries like, oh, I was fighting crime and crime loss
and he just has a guy separate head. He's like, no,
we don't do that, Damian, we don't do that.
Speaker 2: Here on our animated movie review where we each picked
like two or three movies each. Son of Batman was
one of my favorites because I love the love the storyline.
Also on Spotify right now and then I just listened
to last week there there is a four part hour
each so four hour long, uh history of the DC
Universe from beginning to end, like chronological, not like comics,
but like the chronological timeline told by the Flash, and
it just literally goes through each every character in every
single big moment and crisis moment leading up to the
absolute universe today.
Speaker 1: Even with Bana Beast.
Speaker 2: I guess, yeah, he's in there somewhere. Yeah, sure, I
don't know what does that?
Speaker 1: Everyone mann he's a big Blanna Beast fan.
Speaker 3: Oh big black.
Speaker 1: Is he? I don't know. He dresses like what a guy,
A white guy a million years ago thought black people
were dressed like.
Speaker 3: Well, if he passes, he's my Favorite's.
Speaker 1: Wanna Beasts power manny is to uh take two animals
and combine them into an animal. That's power. I'm trying
to skipped.
Speaker 2: Over that part.
Speaker 1: So he has that, God damn no one coming on that.
Trying to find a good high risk picture.
Speaker 2: We go, here we go, But yeah, I read. I
read a lot of the crisises and now I'm I'm
reading Final Crisis right now, and I think I'm going
to try and pick up somewhere around uh uh the
Metal Universe forming because I want to. I want to
get into the Absolute Universe and and and read weekly
or monthly with the issues.
Speaker 1: So there's Wannabast Manny whoa oh nice man start? Oh actually,
Manny the live action Teen Titan Show. They did make
him a black man just for you, just for real.
But he doesn't wear the speed. Oh, Manny, you could
be the first one to check both boxes.
Speaker 2: Lifted now, circumcised or not.
Speaker 1: That's that's the thing I got. I got a picture
of him fusing two animals together. Hold on, there you go.
He took a rhino and a willed to beast and
he made a will to rhino or something. Yes, Jame's
got everyone's bested. James Gunn now saying, Manny for Wannabe's great?
Speaker 6: What if I make it into the DCU before Frank, Yes,
honestly I would.
Speaker 2: Have a problem with that. That's fine, that's fine.
Speaker 1: Let me get this guy. There was a wanna Beast
in uh Legends tomorrow. But he doesn't count. He didn't
have the powers or anything. But I mean, come on,
look at this. Maybe more like beta beasts cooler than
this guy.
Speaker 2: Yeah that's right, Jesus.
Speaker 1: All right, all right, this is this is getting too long.
I gotta get out by every one you later, by
everybuddy
