  Speaker 1: of other shows that are not going to be happening
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: that were announced officially. The Buffy the Vampire Slayer not

  Speaker 1: So yeah, She's thanked everybody and said sorry, we just
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: you know, they're just not interested. It was going to
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: be set twenty five years after the original series. So
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: that was him interesting because I thought, out of all
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: of those projects, that one had the most chance to
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: go another one that's been canceled. So do you have
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: any good news? I might, I might later, I don't know.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: I think it was good news that Buffy's canceled. Paramount
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: their new model for franchise movies is you have two
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: people write a script, okay, and then what they do
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: is they take both of the scripts that they like
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: and stick them together. Okay, well, all right, all right, well,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: uh the G I. Joe movie. Max Landis, who is
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: John Landis's kid, who's a real third Yeah, Max Landis
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: and and well both of them are turds. Who's the
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: other turd?
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: His father?
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Oh? His father? I thought you mad? You said, there
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: her two scripts. There are two scripts. The second script
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: is Danny McBride's. Well, he's not a turd. He is
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: a good guy. He was hired to work on a
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: separate script for G I. Joe movie. But the Paramount
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: people read Max Landis's script and said, oh no, no,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: not at all. I just tossed to decide. Maybe someone
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: googled him, Oh, we can't have him, and they went, oh,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: he's he's going to be a problem. Oh I see
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: he's a turd, isn't he. H Yeah, So they're three
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: years ago. Landis addressed what he called serious mistakes in
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: relationships and described himself as a toxic partner to his girlfriend.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: At least he admits it. He said on a video,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: I get why certain people hate me.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Oh did you get the rest of that quote? He said,
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: it's because I'm a turd. It's because I'm a turd.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: So they said absolutely no to his script. They they're
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: keeping Danny McBride's. So maybe it's maybe it's much better.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Ah. And then this little bit of us made me
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: very very happy. In an interview Paul Bettany, who played Vision,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: I was talking about the WandaVision spin off. Now this
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: is a trilogy. It's WandaVision Agatha all along and this
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: new one coming up called Vision Quest, and it's being
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: put together by Terry Mettalis, who did the final season
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: of Picard, which everybody loves so much. Why did I
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: think Vision died? He did, but he's a robot, so
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: you know, okay, he can come back. He's white Vision.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Now you have to watch the show to know what's
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: going on. But here's what Paul Betny said. He said,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: I think that Terry Mettalis, the showrunner, realized and agreed
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: with me that I feel like Marvel gets rewarded when
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: it takes really big swings. And I think he just
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: understood in his bones who Vision is, and Vision is
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: for the kid that I was when I was a kid,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: the kid that felt like an outsider. They felt like
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: they had no community to fit into. And he knew
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: these stories. He knew who they were for and who
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Vision is for. And I think we made a really fun,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: entertaining show about a guy who's an outsider. Now, Terry
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Mettallis was talking about how much fun he had making
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: this show. He says, I don't know how much I'm
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: allowed to say because we're still early out. I think
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: it comes out well, I don't even think I can
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: tell you that, so we don't know much. It'll come
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: out later this year, later in the year. I would
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: love nothing more than to show it to you right now.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: I'm so very proud of what we did, and I
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: would have to say, if you're a fan of Paul
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Betany and James Spader, vision Quest is a delivery system
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: for those two. It's one of my most favorite things,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: even in post. It is delicious to watch these two
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: cut it up. I'm very proud of it, and I
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: can't wait for you to see it. And so that, Yeah,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: so we confirmation Spader is back as Ultron. And I
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: rewatched Age of Ultron a few days ago, and because
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: it's motion capture on his face, you can see the
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: spaderisms in Ultron's face. That makes it worth going. And
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: he'll and he'll go yeah, and as Spader does sometimes
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: you know, now, Denny, he'll he'll smack his lips, you know, now, Denny,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Are we sexist? Denny? Oh, I'm not sexist. I love women.
