- 0:35Speaker 2: Who was like to start on this? We finally get
- 0:39Speaker 2: to see where the hood.
- 0:40Speaker 1: Let's not let come, let's step to the you know,
- 0:43Speaker 1: to meet it.
- 0:44Speaker 2: That is to me, that is to me.
- 0:47Speaker 4: We finally get to see where Parker got the hood from. Ye,
- 0:50Speaker 4: and it's from Borat.
- 0:53Speaker 1: Another person who I'm not the biggest fan of, but
- 0:54Speaker 1: I thought he did a fantastic job. Is Mephisto you?
- 0:58Speaker 2: Oh yeah, let's talk about it, do y'all? Do you okay?
- 1:00Speaker 2: So you don't like the casting, Ben?
- 1:02Speaker 1: No, I just I'm not a big fan of him.
- 1:04Speaker 2: Well fine, but do you like the casting? Yeah?
- 1:06Speaker 1: I thought he did an incredible job. I love his
- 1:09Speaker 1: flip of absence and it made me I had this
- 1:11Speaker 1: in my notes. Is that like intentional to make the
- 1:14Speaker 1: devil British, you know, to represent like the British Empire
- 1:17Speaker 1: and that type of imperial.
- 1:19Speaker 2: That's a good question.
- 1:21Speaker 4: But that's what happens in Star Wars, right, all of
- 1:23Speaker 4: the Empire they have British accents.
- 1:25Speaker 5: Yeah, and that's kind of like a stage standard type.
- 1:28Speaker 1: Well that that started as a stage standard, but then
- 1:30Speaker 1: when and Or come along, Gilboay flips that to make
- 1:33Speaker 1: it where it's the fact that the British are main
- 1:37Speaker 1: and mainly white, et cetera. Or there's only a there's
- 1:40Speaker 1: one lightstin British Imperial we see, et cetera. So that
- 1:44Speaker 1: was definitely using and Or Now I'm not sure if it's.
- 1:46Speaker 2: He didn't want to one accent.
- 1:47Speaker 4: You talk about Sasha Baron Cohen as the Mefis though himself,
- 1:50Speaker 4: yes he does more than ask if it's Cone.
- 1:53Speaker 5: It's all that ship. It's intentional because yes, that is true.
- 1:56Speaker 5: He's a master impressionist of Lane all that stuff.
- 2:00Speaker 4: So what did you think about the revealed genesia of
- 2:03Speaker 4: Mephisto and of being it being being played by Sasha
- 2:07Speaker 4: Baron Cohen.
- 2:07Speaker 2: I didn't have any thoughts.
- 2:09Speaker 6: I was like, all right, you know, okay.
- 2:15Speaker 2: None of y'all feel like finally I wanted to.
- 2:19Speaker 5: I wanted because I wanted to ask you guys about it.
- 2:21Speaker 5: Because the last time I was on here, we were
- 2:24Speaker 5: talking about the rollout of Ironheart and how it just
- 2:27Speaker 5: seemed kind of lackluster and unceremonious. And it seemed to
- 2:33Speaker 5: me like, do you all think that Disney trojan horses
- 2:38Speaker 5: because everybody because everybody.
- 2:43Speaker 1: Wants Mephisto, right, Yeah.
- 2:46Speaker 4: I'm gonna say yes and no. Yes, because this is
- 2:50Speaker 4: a great Torgon way to do it. No, because they
- 2:52Speaker 4: fucked up, because you could have I'm not saying you
- 2:56Speaker 4: could have revealed Mefisio. You could not have done that,
- 2:58Speaker 4: but they could have done a bad better job of it.
- 3:01Speaker 2: Really give you something better than what we got.
- 3:03Speaker 4: And the trailers and not to say Disney ever tells
- 3:06Speaker 4: the truth in the trailers, but they give you some
- 3:08Speaker 4: more meat. I just feel like they give you something
- 3:11Speaker 4: more exciting. And we were always at least I know,
- 3:14Speaker 4: Ben and I would talk a lot about it, like
- 3:16Speaker 4: they're not really giving us much and they're not trying
- 3:20Speaker 4: to overpower the naysayers.
- 3:21Speaker 2: It just didn't feel like that.
- 3:23Speaker 4: And and I don't know if it's just me feeling
- 3:25Speaker 4: a way, it just didn't like the energy was there
- 3:27Speaker 4: to really be like, let's push this this is something
- 3:29Speaker 4: y'all have to see. There's some crazy shit happening. No,
- 3:32Speaker 4: you couldn't say in the physical Yes, you have to
- 3:34Speaker 4: read direct. But I don't know that. I don't know
- 3:37Speaker 4: the way the trailers were cut or what like. I
- 3:39Speaker 4: just felt like it could have they could have.
- 3:41Speaker 6: Gotten So here's my question then, right, So I didn't
- 3:45Speaker 6: necessarily have a heart on for Mephisto coming or going,
- 3:49Speaker 6: I'm not so connected to that or whatever. Did you
- 3:52Speaker 6: feel like what we got with Sasha Baron Cohen did
- 3:56Speaker 6: did that salad?
- 3:56Speaker 2: Did that like satiate what you were.
- 3:59Speaker 6: Looking for in the Mephisto appearance? Because sometimes with Marvel
- 4:04Speaker 6: as a movie watcher, sometimes I'll see a character and
- 4:08Speaker 6: I could feel why everybody was hyped for this character.
- 4:11Speaker 6: It could be somebody that's not like my jam, but
- 4:14Speaker 6: I feel the energy, I feel the vibes, and I
- 4:16Speaker 6: get it, and I can you know it's context cluesing shit?
- 4:19Speaker 5: This?
- 4:20Speaker 2: You know? I don't.
- 4:21Speaker 6: That's why I said, I don't know. Did y'all get
- 4:23Speaker 6: what you were looking for from this?
- 4:25Speaker 4: I don't know if I was looking well, I think
- 4:27Speaker 4: that's the first thing I wasn't looking for. Memphisto I
- 4:29Speaker 4: didn't think that he would be there, and then two
- 4:32Speaker 4: it was. It became a joke because since Wanda Vision,
- 4:35Speaker 4: it was like, oh, Mephisto,
