005: The Green Bird Stand (Lanterns Episode 2) · Concession Stand

• Nick: Hey, what's up everybody? Welcome back to the concession stand. I'm Nick, and across the screen is my co-host Jules. Julian: What's up guys? Nick: Today we're gonna be diving into this week's movie news. We're gonna be watching and reacting to, talking about some trailers for Netflix's Unibomber and the Uprising. And then we're gonna discuss Lanterns episode two. So, you know, we got a lot to talk about. Stick around, grab a refill. Let's get into it. All right, so first up on the docket, we got the first trailer for Netflix's new unibomber movie coming into Netflix on September twenty-fifth. Twenty twenty or yeah, twenty yeah, September twenty-fifth, twenty twenty-six, starring Russell Crowe, Shaleen Woodley, and Jacob Trendley Trembley as Ted Kaczynski. Yes, September Julian: September twenty fifth, twenty twenty six, yes. Nick: twenty-fifth. So the yeah, coming out next month, about a month from now. I'm excited for this before we watch the trailer, just because like we both like we both know we yeah, we both watched yeah, we watched the Unibomber show together. Julian: I was gonna say we watched it together in college. And that was Paul Bettney. Yeah. F for Nick: Paul, yeah, Paul Bentney was playing the Ted Kaczynski. And what a performance. Julian: everybody, that's vision. Nick: Yep, that's the Vision from the MCU, for those of you that don't know, but like what a transformation. Like going from, you know, Vision, who's all, you know, kind of godlike, you know, superpowered Julian: Yeah. Nick: and everything, to K Ted Kaczynski, who's a lunatic and like super smart and you know, vi weird and all this. It's just like that's that's a that's a quite a performance right there, which is why like I'm int I'm I'm kinda intrigued that they would decide or you know, that the same production company would decide to come out and make a you know, a movie that with a completely different cast from the show. So it's not connected to the show in any way. Julian: Mm-hmm. Nick: so you know, that's that interests me, but you know, that just the show got me so hooked on like the the history of the unibomber and like, you know, the FBI's involvement with it and all that stuff, that I d you know, I'm I'm here for it however you you you want to give it to us. Julian: It's it's it's really gonna be good and you know, with Russell Crowe in there, Russell Crowe I I'm a big fan of Russell Crowe, so like, you Nick: Mm-hmm. Julian: know, I never thought he was never he was he never really has a bad role. Like, you know, he always does it really well. He could play a bad b a villain really well, like he could do a lot of things. And Nick: Yeah. Yeah. Julian: so I think like, you know, the things that they will have to do is like I 'cause I think they're gonna be doing his time at was he a Harvard professor? Nick: He was a he was he wasn't a professor, but he worked or he went to Harvard. Julian: Right, right, right, right. Yeah. Or psych and he participated in psychological experiments at Harvard, associated Nick: Yeah. Yeah. Julian: with Murray. Like Henry Murray, who Nick: Mm. Julian: is gonna be played by I forget who's gonna Russell Crowe plays Henry Murray. So Russell Crowe's gonna be the psychologist. Yeah. Nick: Ooh, there it is. There it is. There it is. You know, matter of fact, let's just play the trailer. Gosh darn it. Let's Julian: Yeah, play the trailer. Hold on wait, before we start it, before we start it, before we start it, pause it real quick. I I just wanna say before we even watch the trailer, I haven't seen it, you haven't seen it. I'm gonna say this. I think they're gonna have Russell Crowe be like this is gonna be like when they're talking about his time at Harvard, this is gonna be basically like Ted Kazin Kaczynski's like downfall into the darkness and Nick: yeah. Julian: and then be when he comes back to t to light is w he's gonna be the unibomber. And I think Russell Crowe's not gonna be the nicest or he's gonna be a a bad guy potentially. But let's Nick: Yeah. Julian: Let's let's get into it. My paddle. Nick: Yeah. Yeah. You go ahead. Let's do it. Mmmmm... Mmmmm... Julian: Okay. I think he's definitely gonna be a bad guy. A and they're gonna be definitely Nick: yeah. Julian: switching back between young Ted and older Ted. Nick: you talking Russell Crowe? Julian: Yes. As far as like he's gonna be the villain, yes. Nick: Yeah, yeah. Yeah. I mean shoe. I'm here. I obviously I'm here for it 'cause it's like Russell Crowe would be cool in that role. Cause like just fr going off the show, from what at least what I know from the show, as you know, like Julian: Mm-hmm. Nick: you pretty much like you said before, once he goes to Harvard, it kinda all goes downhill from there. i even though it's not like his life was, you know, perfect rainbows and flowers before that. But like, you know, I some some pretty messed up stuff happens to him at Harvard. And so like Julian: Mm-hmm. Nick: They're gonna, you know, hit r with r Russell Crowe being the guy playing the guy who's like at the front of all that is gonna be like I feel like it's gonna be intense. Like I feel like it's gonna be really like probably hard to watch at some at some moments, but it's gonna be interesting. And the same and same thing with you what you said about them flashing from like young him to like older him. And like cause I don't think I Julian: Exactly. Nick: don't think they said, and maybe they that that was the last name at the at the end, but like they didn't say Julian: Mm-hmm. Nick: who's playing. the older version of him. So Julian: Mm-hmm. Nick: and like so like I don't think it's gonna be the same kid 'cause like, you know, we we gotta get him while he's like unibombing and like when he gets caught, I hopefully. So Julian: Well, he won't he's not a kid when he's unibombing. He's he's like Nick: No, exact exactly. That's why I'm saying, like, if they show him unibombing, they gotta show somebody way older. Julian: exactly. And I think If I had to guess, Stephen Og, is that the name of the Is that the name of guy? Jacob Trimble plays the younger guy. Nick: Yeah, yeah. But I don't know I don't know the name of the older one. Or like yeah, I I not that I've seen. Or I like I didn't look it up. Julian: Okay. I'm just guessing. 'Cause I I'm I got Annabelle Wallace, Alexander Ludwig, Stephen Og, Mark McMechanica. They're the other casts, so I don't know. But anyways, we got the younger t you know, guy being played by Trim Blaise, so it's just very good. So I think it's gonna be good. But Nick: Yeah, yeah. So you okay, just off of that trailer, do you think it looks like look do you think it looks like it could be better than the show? 'Cause we hold the show in high regard around here. Julian: The show I think they had a lot of time to really dive deep into his psychology. In this, I think Nick: Facts. Facts. Julian: we're gonna learn how, like, since they already showed us that and it's Netflix, they're gonna give us something that is from a different angle where like this is how someone bec got that psychology or what forced their psychology to go that way, or what had Nick: Yeah. Julian: his whatever his predisposed things were, Henry Murray potentially triggered some of these things and turned the unibomber on, is what I'm guessing right now. Just based off the trailer, Nick: Right. Nah, yeah. Julian: like Henry Murray had a hand in how the unibomber became the unibomber, is like you know, or else why would they have Russell? Crow be that guy. So it it's it is. Nick: Right, right, right. It's an important role. It's an important role for the a movie like that. Julian: Especially if Ms. Russell Crowe who can play a really good dark villain. Like I know you've seen Nick: Mm-hmm. Julian: the the Tom Cruise mummy, the mummy, when he was Dr. Jekyll in that one. Nick: yeah, yeah, yeah. Julian: I was 'cause look, I didn't know he was Dr. Jekyll at first. Like I don't remember like when I first seen it, I was like I don't know if I wasn't paying attention, but I just wasn't picking up on it. And then I was like, snap, that is Mr. Hyde And it's you know, and when he's done Tom everywhere, I was just like, Okay, this this this this hits this your your bag is crazy because we got Maximus and then we got this, I'm like, yeah, you're you're an ama he was already amazing, but like Nick: I mean, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, he was great. What's that other what's Julian: Hats off all the time. Nick: that other movie he's in where he's like in like a virtual like world or something like that? Or like a game something? I it's like I wanna came out it's say it came out in like some sometime around the twenty tens, like twenty twelve or something like that, but I can't remember what it's called. But I I wanted I remember I wanted to watch that movie so bad when it came out as a kid, but I w but Julian: I don't I don't remember. Nick: I can't I can't remember what it's called, but may maybe we'll f we'll figure it out later. yeah. Julian: Okay. We'll we'll figure it out later. So we got the uprising has been that has been announced and I think comes out sometime in September, right? Nick: Yes, yes. So when it was originally announced, you know, they j kinda just dropped the trailer. It looked like it's, you know, it's starring Andrew Garfield. He's in this i this kind of old this old timey role, you know, where there you know there there's all this stuff going on with like peasants and and poor villagers and they're trying to like it seems like they're trying to uprise against like whatever monarchy there is going on. and that's what it seemed like at first. It's just like, you know, a kind of normal story about that, but in the past week they've announced or they've announced that it or and they've put on the poster that this is the that we're gonna be witnessing the rise of of Robin Hood in this in this movie. So Julian: And so to give you an accurate timeline for everybody, this is roughly like thirteen nineties, you know, fourteenth century era, you know, Europe or England, if you will. Thirteen eighty one to be specific. Nick: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So it like it it okay, we got the tr we got the trailer right here. So we could I was thinking we could watch it real quick and just see like because they released the trailer before they told us this Robin Hood information. So I'm Julian: Mm. Nick: gonna s now that we know, let's see if we can watch the trailer and see if it if it if we can tell that it's Robin Hood or not. Julian: 'Cause I'm curious to see if we look up the cast because sometimes a show what a movie will do is like they'll have like the a name of like, you know, like like whatever the job is, the farmer. And then like you're like, the farmer was actually gonna be Robin Hood or grow up to be Robin Hood or eventually becomes Robin Hood where you can see the how that legend came from that. So let's go though. Nick: Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Or kinda that kinda you saying that kinda reminds me of in the Dark Knight rises. what the that Julian: Mm. Nick: what they did with Robin. you know, some some kind of kinda Julian: Mm. Nick: like that. But which Rob Robin Julian: Exactly. Nick: Hood as well. That's kind of funny. But alright. Julian: But like exactly like that though, that's what I meant. Exactly like that. Just you just see the bow, the quiver, the hat. Nick: Yeah. But okay, but I got this sh not literally. And then it's shit and then and then it right at in the post credit scene they're or like yeah the last two minutes of the movie they're like, My name's Robin by the way. Or some shit like that. Julian: Right, right, exactly. Like what's your name, plowman? Nick: All right, let's get into it. Let's see. Mmm. Yep, they gave us the the they gave us the shot of him with the hood. Ooh. Julian: They gave us little flash of someone looking like Robinhood. They gave us a flash. Pa ha! He's in there like Legolos from Lord of the Rings. Nick: Dead ass. But low-key, like, we didn't I mean, okay, we see this dude shooting the arrow toward the end, but that could have been anybody. Like, we didn't know it was him for sure. But it was pr it was probably him. It was probably him. But that joint looks good. That joke looks good. I'm sorry. Like I've I feel like I've seen the trailer before, but even so, just like sitting here watching it now, I'm like, bam. Like, okay. It's like it's giving like Game of Thrones if like the people of King's Landing tried to rise up or some something like that, but probably would go worse in in in King's Landing for them than it does here. Yeah, yeah. So, you know, that's yeah, that's why it's Game Julian: a hundred percent. There's dragons. They're just gonna burn everybody. Nick: of Thrones, not, you know, game of peasants or town people, but this is this is the uprising. This is this is where we get that. So we'll take it. Yeah. Julian: Mm. Exactly. Exactly. Take notes, America. But anyways, Avengers Endgame Encore will have two sneak peeks for Avengers Doomsday attached to it. That was also not me inciting anything, government. But one Nick: Ha ha ha. Julian: will be additional four minutes of footage available for all screenings, so we'll get an extra four minutes. And the others will be Nick: Yep, yep, yep. Julian: an additional sneak peek exclusive to IMAX and Infinity Vision certified screens. So Nick: Okay. Julian: is it Doomsday sneak peek? Nick: Yes, yes. So do we think Julian: Hurt That'd be cool. Nick: yeah d like in terms of the four minutes, what do we think like I'm trying to figure out where this four minutes could fit in. Like do we think we're gonna get one extra four minute scene to the movie? Or do you think it's gonna be four minutes scattered throughout the movie and we just Julian: I think it might be four minutes scattered out where we might get like a little different dialogue where they're like edited something or or or could be an extra fight scene. Like, you know, where maybe I don't know, like it I think an extra fight scene more than likely. Like, there's nothing they can really I Nick: If this, if this gives you any Julian: Guess we'll just have to wait and see for that, but Nick: if this, if this gives you any type of insight, they released like the trailer for the the endgame encore, right? And the Julian: Okay. Nick: line where like Tony Stark is like when you mess with time, it tends to mess back. They changed Julian: Yeah. Nick: it, they changed it in the trailer, so it's when you mess with time, time tends to mess back instead of it tends to mess back. It's a small change, it's a small change, but does it mean something? Julian: Messen but but Nick: Could that be Like where the those four minutes could come in. Julian: Okay, maybe, maybe, maybe, we see something that made doom. when they go take the stones. It could be that we see Whitma Nick: Mm. I'm that's that's probably that's my best bet, too, honestly. Because I'm like, especially after the trailer thing, I'm like, okay, maybe they maybe we see some how Tony Stark knows that or in some way. Like maybe we see like Tony Julian: Maybe it's a Tony Stark variant. Nick: I don't maybe it is, but I really don't want it to be. Like personally, that's I just I I would rather it be like this is just Doctor Doom, like Julian: Same. Nick: straight up, straight up. Like, but I obviously he looks like Tony Julian: Unless you do make up for him though. But like that's what I mean. Like unless you do make up for his actual face, then well how are we gonna explain that? Nick: I mean but like th think of no no but think about it. Okay, one even if he does look like Tony Stark but he's not a variant, like it still just make like kind of creates this like dramatic irony a little bit for like Julian: Mm-hmm. Nick: between like our characters and him. Because it's like, okay, Julian: Mm-hmm. Nick: everybody recognizes him and they're like, like, are you in a Tony Stark in in some way? And then he's just like, I don't know what the hell y'all are talking about. I am doom. So but and then Julian: Maybe but it could be the whole the whole storyline of Tony Stark being like not like the doom is the Tony g giving up like Tony being given up for adoption and then he's Von Doom and becomes Doom. Or something else. Like I think there's a storyline where his par where Tony's parents gave him up for adoption and he became Von Doom that way. But I'm not don't quote me. Nick: Okay. I could I mean I could see it. Just like I said, I just I I hope it's not connected and it's just something that like adds an extra layer of oomph for like the Avengers and the anybody fighting Doom. It's just like, wait, what do you mean he looks like Tony Stark? But like we're dealing with the multiverse, so y'all can y'all can get past it. Y'all can get over it. Little boy Spider Man, you can get you can get over it. You can get over it, Tom. And then but then there's an an additional sneak peek, like you said, j exclusive to IMAX and Infinity Vision certified screens. I'm guessing that maybe that could be like a scene. Like maybe that could be Julian: Mm-hmm. Nick: like I don't know, something similar to like the Thunderbolts post credit scene with the Fantastic Four coming. Like maybe I don't know. I don't know. Julian: Mm. yeah, like w them coming out on the screen on on video when they came in through their little wormhole. Okay, okay. We'll see then. Nick: Mm-hmm. I don't know. I don't know. But either way, you know, tickets are out now. Get your tickets, lock in so you don't you don't miss any of this. And I also heard that I think while the Encore is out, if they make I think a hundred and forty million dollars, then they'll pass Avatar as the highest grossing movie of all time. so Julian: Okay, so they can Nick: It I mean, we'll see. We'll see how many people are are out here trying to see it when it's actually out. But I Julian: Well, right. Nick: heard that the ticket sales, like, at least for you know, from when they dropped this week were pretty like people were on top of it. So we'll see. We'll see. Okay. We got some unfortunate news to address here real quick. we just gotta acknowledge it. Yeah, we gotta Julian: Pour one out, take a drink. This is coffee. Nick: this is water, but we're still gonna Pour it out right here a little bit for for Peter Collin first, because he was our most recent loss in the entertainment world today. most of you know him as Optimus Freaking Prime. He had the voice that, you know, would lead you to run through a brick wall for for years, literally, for years. Julian: Roll out. I don't have the voice for it. Nick: I don't have The only man who has the voice for it is is now sitting up in the heavens with the Lord. And it's unfortunate. It's tragic. We lost a legend Julian: Mm-hmm. Nick: there. that's he was eighty-five years old. but you know, good we send send positive vibes out to his family and you know, we hope everything happened in a peaceful way. but he this man played Optimus Prime and not only like the live action movies, but you know, all a an amalgamation of of of animated movies and shows, mini series, Julian: Mm-hmm. Nick: all this stuff. So he was truly like a Transformers legend, and an acting legend Julian: Literally. Nick: at that. So R. I. P. to Peter Cullen. Julian: And then we have another sad passing as well. Most of you guys might remember Tim Curry from either Home Alone. He was also he voiced Palpatine in Clone Wars and like a lot of people know you know remember him from that as far as our viewers. You know, I know we probably got a lot of rebels or st or Clone Wars guys. You know, once we get more Star Wars content you'll really see how big Star Wars guys we are, but like it's you know Nick: Yeah. Yeah. Julian: It's sad, it's very insane though. But these guys, you know, they you know, Peter passed away at eighty five and Tim passed away at eighty. You know. It's not the ripest of age, but like, you know, they they live a long, had happy life and brought a lot of joy to us, so we'll miss them dearly. Nick: And we also lost Dolly the day before. Like, what's Julian: I was gonna say. Nick: what's going on? What's going on this week? Julian: also had a very long life in Spar well, I don't know how old she passed away at, but Nick: She also was eighty. Julian: She was also 80. And Nick: Mm-hmm. Julian: now Dolly, for those who do not know, was a very, very fluent philanthropic person where, you know, during the Tennessee floods or fires, I can't remember which natural disaster, but she sent families a thousand dollars a month for six months, and then when her foundation came up with more money, they sent the last check was like I think five thousand. And they said and they did that for a bunch of Tennessee families. And then also if you don't know, and if you're you know, mom, dad, you're trying to get books for your kids. kid, she has a foundation that will send you books fur free I think once a month. once one one a month one book a month, so that you can, you know, get ki books for your ki ch child to read. And she did that because her father never learned to read. And so that's, you know, a foundation that she Nick: Aww, damn. Julian: has or a non profit, I don't know what to categori it as, categorize it as, but again she'll be very dearly missed as well. Nick: Yep, yep, yep. Like damn that's that's Julian: But so now Nick: that's crazy. I didn't know she was doing all that, like, you know, the children book stuff. Julian: yeah. And then we have other people who are kinda continuing a form of that work. Tony Weaver Junior, if you guys don't know who that is, is another content creator, but he's I don't know if he has any podcasts or not, but he makes he has a f a thing, a foundation or non profit again don't know how to categorize it but where he sends a lot of manga and all of books for children to read so that they can either and I'm pretty sure most of it's anime focused because just to get the younger generation into anime earlier. And Nick: Yeah. Julian: I think that's great as well. Shout out Tony Weaver Jr. for doing that. He was on the news for that, which is kind of and I'm pretty sure he he you know said something about how Dolly did something similar and might have even gotten that idea or inspired from that. Now or if it came wholesome but on his own even better but like you know it's very just because we're Nick: Yeah, yeah. Either way. Julian: talking about Dolly I figure I'd throw Tony in there too because he is also doing that good work as well when it comes to getting everybody to read because we should all still read a book. You know nothing wrong Nick: That's tough. Facts, facts. Julian: with watching movies. We should also still read. Me and Nick read you know even if it's the stuff you like or a graphic novel it's reading. You know Nick: Right. It could be it could be anything. You could you know, whatever works. Julian: It can be whatever you would like. But other than that, I I think this is a good way to segue into How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days, the sequel is in the works. And studio hoping Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey will return. Nick: I hope so. I don't see how you I mean like I could they could do with just a whole a whole fresh kind of reboot thing with like you know a noob couple whatever but I Julian: Mm-hmm. Nick: think the right way to do this is to bring those two back and like I don't know like I heard K Hudson might be producing it but you just gotta bring back. I don't know, like maybe I don't I really Julian: Well I might be on the other side of this one for you, but go ahead, I'll let you finish. Nick: why is that? Why is that? Julian: Well, because I feel like instead of continuing how to lose a guy in ten days, what is it? How to be lose a guy in ten years? Nick: Okay, okay. That w okay, which br that that that that brings us to, you know, the the obviously they they're you know they gonna they're gonna figure out what the whole premise is gonna be, what the story's gonna be. But like okay that my my next question was gonna be, okay, is it gonna be titled or like is the premise gonna be like how to keep a guy in in in ten years? It could be that. That's what day I I gotta give give my props to Danny. That was Danny's idea. How to keep a guy in t in ten in ten years, it could be How to like you said, how to lose a guy in ten years to where like we saw the start of their relationship, now we're seeing Julian: Right. Nick: the downfall of it or something like that. except that would piss people off. anybody who's a fan of the first one, if they came back, if they came back all these years later just to break them up, I'd be sick. I'd be sick. I'd be sick. But Julian: That'd be so funny though. It would be diabolically funny. But in the most diabolical ways. Alright, Nick, I'll Nick: But yeah, but yeah, so hopefully yeah. Julian: let you I'll let you do this first one. You know? I'll let you do this next one. Guys must stand up. Nick: Jules is standing up right now because Jules was in fact right. as for shoot, he is suiting up for our audio listeners. Jules just stood up and put on his armor room Mandalorian helmet, gave it a little bang on the head just to let y'all know that we're about this junk right here. We d we we make calls, we get right, gosh darn it, okay. Julian: Sorry guys, I had to if you are watching the video, I don't know if you could hear it, I had to ring the the truth bell and put the truth bell on. Nick: Yep. Yep. Yep. No, I I I told him what you was doing. I told him what you was doing. But Julian: Ha ha ha. Nick: but what I I was narrating the whole time so I didn't actually say what happened or or what you were right about, but so Julian: Mm-hmm. Nick: last week on the show for our our our recurring listeners, you already know this. For our new listeners, I'm just I'm I'll I'll g I'll tell you what happened. Last week on the show we were talking about, you know, what came out of D twenty three. We watched the Vision Quest trailer, and one of the first things that Jules said after watching the Vision Quest trailer trailer Was so so you're so like I think Ultron's been inside of Vision like since Age of Ultron. Like he's been like in that sc end scene where like they're have the common they have the conversation and then like boom, like he presumably like kills him or explodes him. He just downloaded him into himself and he's been keeping him there the whole time. And basically James Spader, Ultron himself came out this week and and approved and said that was true. Not, you know, not directly. He doesn't listen to the podcast, as far as we know. As far as we know. Julian: As far as we know. Nick: He might, he might. He just hasn't come out and said it yet. But he came out and said that that he's been imprisoned in Visions Minds since Age of Ultron, quoting he's had success, he said sorry. He's had access to the internet, television, history, and he's just been consuming and doing a bit of a bit of painting. He's been painting and making trouble. All in Visions Head. So you called it, Jules. You got it. You got it. And you also said that in the once that well, I we'll wait for the show to come to see if this happens. But you said that we get some sort of scene, like extended version of that scene from Age of Ultron where we see like how he does that. we'll, you know, we'll wait and see if that's right. But as far as I'm concerned, you got it right. Gosh darn it. You got it right. So Julian: Thank you so much. We love giving the props. W I love receiving the props. And, you know, Nick: Of course, of course. Julian: when we when you get your flowers, you get your flowers, guys. So, you know, if you wanna you know, hit that comment or hit the fama and tell us if we did get flowers somewhere else or if we you you wanna take my flowers, you know I'm saying you can try. But Nick: Here at the concession stand we we give and receive flowers. Julian: Exactly, see? So, you know, and another player person we should probably get some flowers to is Kid Harrington, who's replacing Nicholas Holt and casting for Gilderoy Lockhart in Harry Potter series. I think this is gonna be good. I can see Nick: Yeah. Julian: him being very funny. Especially he's gonna have the shortcut, right? We're not gonna get the Jon Snow, know what I'm saying? It's gonna Nick: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Shortcut. Julian: be the shortcut. If he if he stays all black, I'm s I'm fine with that. If he goes blonde, cool too. But Nick: See, l honestly, that's one of the one 'cause like with Nicholas Holt, I was like, okay, he's definitely dying his hair. But with with with Kit Harrington, I'm like, okay, he could cu Right, I'm like, yeah, like obviously Julian: His flow is cra yeah, like he got the flow. Nick: he's not like I know he's not gonna have the the Jon Snowflow, but like if he kept his hair dark, I think he could still pull it off. Like it would still work if it's dark and short, or he could go blonde, but Julian: Especially especially if he's a little bit darker in this in this series than he is like where he's a little bit more like Rap Scallion esque where, you know, he you're just like, Dang dude, you're really just s mind Nick: You rap scallion. Julian: wiping people and taking their adventure So like a and like if Nick: Yep. Yep. Yep. Julian: he does it in like a devious way he's just like Yeah, give me that like you know, if he's doing that. Nick: He's holding the he's holding the wand like a sh like it's a shtick, like it's a A. A. A. So that shtick like a shtick, man But that's gonna be cool though. I'm I'm excited. I'm excited. Julian: stick like a stick dude that's funny so yeah I'm excited for that and then so I'm gonna probably be seeing Coyote versus acting today for everybody who's wondering this is today is Nick: Nice. Julian: August twenty seventh twenty twenty six day filming you guys will probably hear this Sunday or Tuesday in between those days and Nick: Yeah, yeah. Julian: But Coyote and Fi and Acty finally releases in theaters this week. Pretty sure today. The film was almost never seen by the public. Just want you guys to know that. It was never Nick: Yep. Julian: gonna be seen because Warner Bros. planned to permanently erase it for a tax write-off. Because they didn't want to Nick: Yep. Yep. Julian: pay taxes. Another billion dollar company not trying to pay taxes their fair share. Nick: Literally, bro. Like, and not even like that's one part of it. The other part of it is like y'all literally had creatives, actors, directors, writers, animators, all these editors, all these people in here working on this movie for like, you know, for the the average time it takes to work on one of these movies. Like that's a year or two of somebody of all these people's lives, and y'all are just gonna be like, Julian: Mm-hmm. Nick: yeah, actually, nobody's ever gonna see this drunk because we want the money that we could that we could get from it. Hell nah. Justice is about to be served tonight. It's Julian: And you have to see it there so that it gets the box office. And I know that sounds dumb, but seeing it in the theaters just proves to the sticks it to the man because it gives Nick: Exactly. Julian: the ratings or it gives the numbers it needs so that it can sh it tells them we messed up. Now Nick: Exactly. Julian: that being said, does this go into the pockets of those said artists? Nick, I'll let you answer that. But Nick: It doesn't. It do I still okay, I'm just gonna look this up real quick just so we know. but it does not because I think I'm almost positive it's that they the rights were acquired from Warner Brothers so that it could be released and you know that it wouldn't be shelved forever. I just don't know who acquired it. So I'm about I'm about to look that up real quick. Ketchup Entertainment bought the distribution rights for to Coyote versus Acme for approximately fifty million dollars Julian: Yes, ketchup. That's what it is, ketchup. Nick: after Warner Brothers offici initially shelved the completed film. Yeah. Julian: so yeah, we need to go see it so ketchup can stick it to Warner Brothers. That's what it was. Nick: One hundred percent. One hundred percent. You already know because like Julian: Yeah. Nick: we're not we ca this is not something that can be like, you know, that we can set a precedent for. Julian: Yeah, I wasn't gonna sit here and tell everybody, go ahead and give your money to Warner Brothers. I just we had to make sure who catch up, you know Nick: yeah, no. Yeah, he was very careful of that. Got got gotta make sure. Cause we're yeah, we can't if they would have just I mean, if they would have just changed their minds, that would be a different story. We wouldn't even really be having this conversation the same way. But but that didn't happen. They, you know, it got acquired and now we gotta we gotta stand up, we gotta show up the theaters and we gotta Julian: Mm-hmm. Nick: let them know that they made a mistake so nobody ever does this shit again. Cause also, let me let me let me remind y'all for y'all that don't know There is another film that they did this with. Actually, a sh or was it a show? I think it was a show. Or was it a I I can't remember. Either way. Batgirl. We were supposed to have gotten Batgirl back in like 2024. Julian: Yeah, that was Warner Brothers. That was a show. Nick: Starring we had a a black Latina Batgirl. We had Julian: It was a black Nick: we had J.K. Simmons as Commissioner Gordon, we had Brendan Julian: Yup. Yup. Nick: Fraser As the Firefly being the villain of the show and and they just said, nah, nah, we're keep we we we want we want the bread and but we you know it's harder for somebody like Catch Up Entertainment to come in and buy that jump because it's owned by DC and DC i you know is still obviously owned by Warner Brothers. So it's it's tough. It's tough. Julian: And that was permanently shelved more than likely because it's being used more than likely as a tax write off. So it's you know, certain it's hard for and it's Nick: Yes. And like I'm pretty sure they've s they've still received Julian: hard to work with that studio. That's why I like other studios or other artists who are starting to go to different studios or smaller studios because when you wanna work with the big guy, there's a good chance your work is just gonna be used as a tax write off. So, especially if it's, you know Nick: You can't do that. You can't do that. Julian: That being said, as far as, you know, just being used as a tax write off and you know I think this is a good way to, you know, go into since we're talking about a little bit of legal stuff, to go into the Chris Hansen Primetime you know, snafu, if you will. So apparently Chris Hansen bought T V ads before the showing of every Primetime show, across the nation. And this is all because apparently they tried to make him sign an NDA when they invited him to come watch the private screening of Primetime. So now mind you the story goes as this they say A two four sign his side of it is is the it was the standard NDA so that they he can't go out and talk about you know their intellectual property and like how they what the movie's gonna be and all that so they he can't spoil it. Nick: Yeah. Yeah. Julian: Chris Hansen's saying is that the NDA was a little bit more than that and that it signed away his image, his brand, his likeness, and any legal you know, things in the future. Nick? Both of these things are no no's as far as you know, if k if Hansen's lying, this is just the way for him to get 'cause apparently in the ads is gonna be his streaming services and all this other stuff that he does and he's gonna flash a QR code. So is this just Nick: Okay. Julian: a c a money grab from Chris Hansen? But or should have Prime t A two four brought Chris Hansen in and said, Hey, we're making a movie about you. We wanna give you a royalty. Boom. Here you go. Maybe even some Nick: Yeah. Julian: leeway on on creativity. Now, if they didn't wanna do that, I think it's because they're gonna say something Chris Hansen ain't gonna like. But because he never seen the movie, so he doesn't know. Nick: Right, right, right. 'Cause he okay, so what okay, what I think isn't true is just that like why would they make him sign an NDA saying like giving away his likeness and stuff da da da da just to watch the movie? Like if they said that if they said that they did that like, you know, b like in like pre production 'cause they wanted to bring him in for the for product for like to help with with all that and the production and stuff, Julian: Mm-hmm. Nick: maybe I could see, but like Why would they do it do that just to let him screen the movie? Like there's I feel like there's no reason. But that's what he said happened, right? Okay. Julian: Yes. He said he said that it was all that for the likeness. That's what he is saying. And like more than likely he could Nick: Okay, but then what th they said Julian: have been given that. It's not like he had his lawyer at the like if he did have his lawyer with him, all right. But like who Nick: Yeah. Julian: like that he read the thing and was like or if he didn't read it all the way and just didn't understand it 'cause he needed his lawyer there. Like Nick: Yeah. Julian: like I understand but like to 'cause he went out on a podcast or went out on, you know, I don't know if it was sixty minutes but or ABC or what, but he went on to some type of news thing, did the interview and said all this. So it's like who's you know it's he shed sea shed right now. So we don't know. Nick: Mm. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And did they come out and like straight deny it, the A twenty four? Or like Julian: Yeah, A twenty four's A twenty four had a source that said that like no, it was a you know the connected the source connected to the film disputes his characterization and says it was essentially a standard NDA that that could have been that could have been negotiated. Nick: Mmm, dog. Okay, I'm sorry. I'm right now, I and I I don't even know if like waiting till the movie comes out is gonna like make this make me think any different, but like right now I'm leaning A24. Like I'm sure some of what he said might be true, but it just seems like one like like I said, why would they like why would they do all that for that? Julian: They're gonna invite you to like like is like 'cause they're I assumingly he's trying to like convey that they're you know, like expect like them like this is a standard NDA boy would play, whatever, here you go, sign it. It's like, they tried to basically trick me, like I wasn't gonna read it. And it's just like, dude, you could have Nick: my god. Julian: you could have r had the p like why didn't why don't you why don't you just bring the NDA with you and show us all the stuff that you're trying to say? Nick: It's great question. It's a great question. Julian: 'Cause you c I'm I'm assuming he walked out with it if he did. Like what what you gave the paper back and like, alright, bye. Like and then got on the internet and was like, without all this proof, this is what it said. It's like, Come on, Chris, you're better than that. You're yourself are a journalist. Like you yourself are a journalist, which is why this is a cash grab to me. So it's just like you know to Nick: Yeah, you yeah, I was I was about to say you you s yeah. Right, right. Julian: have proof. You didn't provide proof, you just said, he said, she said. Come on man, I've been watching you since I was Nick: And it's Julian: child. Nick: And it's like what like eve okay, say what he said was true, so the the thing that's gonna resolve all that and that's gonna like that you got out you're gonna end up getting out of all this is what? Just ads for your freaking thing, like before the movie. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Julian: And if and if he's still 'cause I think he is still doing the catch a predator thing, which I would support. I would support. But it's more so like, hey, Where's where's the paper then that you're talking about? Like, you left, right, after you read it. So you put it back Nick: Yep, yep. Julian: down and just left, left it in your seat, like and it's like, okay, like even if that was the case, like, you're not suing them, are you? Or are you waiting to for it to come out then to sue? Like Nick: That yeah, exactly. That's what I'm saying. Like, I don't think if if they're gett if you're you accepted to play your the ads before the movie. So like I don't think I think this the the ship to sue has sailed. As far as I you know z at least what it seems like to me. I don't I'm not in there. I'm not in the rooms. I don't know how this works. I'm just speculating, but I'm I'm still leaning like A twenty four a little bit more. But hey, if we're wrong, shit. Chris Hansen. If I'm wrong, come on the show. Talk about it. Tell us your side. Yes, please, please, please. And A twenty four? Julian: We would love to have you here. We would love to have you here. Like you could either Atlanta or Tallahassee, we can make it work for either or. We'll be at either of those locations. You know, you can come in. We'll we'll make sure you but Nick: Pull up. Pull up. And same same goes to A twenty four. If A twenty four, if if there's some stuff we're missing, we're missing on the report. Y'all want to straighten some things out, hit us up. Consensus Stampod11 at gmail.com. Julian: Or if you both want to come in to have a talk about it and want to solve your differences for the masses on our platform. Nick: If y'all want to hash it out right at the concession stand, we'll provide the snacks. We will provide the snacks. Okay? Julian: Exactly. We'll provide the snacks and the videography and the audio. Nick: You'll probably have to pay for parking though, if it's here. I'm not gonna lie. But snacks will Julian: Ha ha ha Nick: be provided though. So I'll I'll give you that. Julian: come to my house you'll go y'll it'll smoke house stuff, so we smoke in the backyard. So you'll it might be better Nick: Yep, yep. Yep. Julian: to for the Tallahassee of Chris Hansen, you know, we'll be able to supply like a catering cart, except it's gonna be cater bed yours truly. But anyways Nick: Mm. Mm-hmm. And he's it for anybody thinking that he's talking about anything else, he's he has he has a smoker in his backyard. Like we're that's not Julian: He Nick: that's not a joke or anything like that. Like he's actually smoking sh shit in his backyard. So yeah. Come on the show. No, it's Julian: It's not shit either. It's great. Nick: it's good. That's good. That's good. on yeah, we're on to the main Julian: But other than that, on the Nick: the main course of the episode. Julian: Ha I like what you did there. The dunce. Nick: We got our thank you, thank you, thank you. We got our lanterns episode two discussion. Before we get into you know, each like, you know, each thing that we want to talk about, what did you think of the episode? What did you think? Where and what you know? Julian: yeah, no this is see like we got so many little references in this episode it was crazy. We got a little Nick: Mm-hmm. Julian: mogo, you know, with his pocket dimension entrance and by the way, D C's just giving out pocket dimensions left and right. I just wanna say that. Like is Batman gonna have the pocket Nick: Bro there's a pocket division everywhere bro like okay not everywhere. Julian: dimension next? Like and if he don't have a pocket dimension, I'm gonna be a little upset. Nick: If he don't, he better get one at some point. I'm sorry. But I I like that they're doing that though, because I liked I even liked the first time we saw they brought it to us in Superman. When it was Julian: Yeah. Nick: yeah, it was in Super Yeah. Like when when we saw Lexus and like they I was just like at first I was shook, I was like, so we're just like taking pocket dimensions and all this stuff and just throwing it at the general audience. Like, you know, because like as DC like nerds, fans, comics and stuff, we we know what pocket dimensions are, but it's like, you know, you're just kind of saying, this dude has a pocket dimension and throwing it in a Superman movie, it's like maybe not everybody might, you know, be Julian: Yeah, like Nick: in tune with that. But like now, you know, they're they're mi they're they're putting it in different projects. The you know, we got one in Superman, we got one in Lanterns. What was the other one? There was another one in man. in Peacemaker. Peacemaker's closet. Julian: Yeah, I was gonna say Peac yeah, Peacemaker has a pocket dimension. Nick: Yeah, yeah. So like Julian: And while we're on pocket dimensions, I think that like just how we sing with Lexus, like we're also gonna be able to see like, you know, like Lexus is a sh Like s for, you know, better lack of better words, a crappy pocket dimension, which is why it almost destroyed metropolis. I think that the lantern po like pocket dimension, like we're gonna be able to see where like there's tech that has things like like foolproof, safe, figured out and then there's gonna be tech that's gonna be very dangerous. Where it's like, okay and that and I think that's a way we can play into the real world with like AI and other things where it's like we have things with guardrails that'll, you know, keep things okay and in line and, you know, where people aren't gonna get hurt. And versus where we have technology where if it doesn't have these guardrails, all right, now we can hack into things and do different and do data breaks breaches and do all sorts of different things. So like I think Nick: Mm. Julian: that it's a good way to translate into the real world with you know how they're kind of handling the pocket dimensions where it's like okay you can use a pocket dimension responsibly or you don't which was Nick: Right. Right. Julian: Lex Luther Nick: Exactly. And okay, 'cause I didn't even honestly, I didn't even think about what you just said really, because like at like until you just said it because I just saw the the like how's pocket dimension as just like storage space. Like I didn't even think Julian: Right. Nick: that like like I don't I don't know going forward if like we will see more of the pocket dimension or if we're gonna if like it's literally just used to hold the lantern so that nobody can ever get to it. Julian: Right. Nick: Or you know, or what. And it's just like it seems like what you said could definitely be the case because of how like we said how they've been building up like just around these pocket dimensions and what they are, how they operate and stuff. So like maybe we did like later in the season, next episode or something, we do like end up going back in or like they have to go in there for something. I don't know. But I think that that'll be cool. That'll be cool. Julian: Mm-hmm. And since we're talking about the pocket dimension, we have to talk about his bird construct without the ring. So Nick: my god, my god. Julian: for everybody wondering, like in there might be a few what do we miss? Nick: wait, wait, wait, we got it, we got it Spoiler alert Spoiler alert it's a s spoiler alert Lantern green flashing alarms Lanterns Lanterns Episode two Spoiler Julian: I forgot. Yeah, no. Red flashing alarm. Red flashing alarm. Green flashing alarms. Well, well, wait. I I have a hot take that I didn't put down, so we c it could still be red flashing alarms. It still could Nick: okay. I think I know okay, okay. I think I I have a feeling what you're gonna say. Okay, okay. Julian: it still could be red flashing alarms. So so this is what I think. So the guy so before I get to the red, let me start with the green. So Nick: Okay. Julian: John, you know, creates this construct. Now for those who don't know, how willpower works. Like you have to like for example, Batman has a great will. A Green Lantern has to have the greatest will. You can't be scared. You have to have the will to get things done. And, you know, to construct things. Now while he was trying to teach J John how to fly, how not being the best teacher was just like, Well fly. Just do it. Why can't you do it? Which Nick: Literally just think about fly and fly. Julian: Anybody who's had a crappy teacher understands that like that's not how you teach. And so John, Nick: Mm-hmm. Julian: trying to teach himself in his mind, created a construct of a living bird. That had his own consciousness, by the way. He didn't Nick: Mm. Julian: tell it what to do. All he did was close his hands and di make it disappear once he made it reappear or made it appear. So that itself, you Nick: Yeah, yeah, which was crazy. Julian: know, and then the the we had, you know, him get kidnapped once he was at how or see, I was thinking it was it was Green Arrow's house at first, but it's not. Nick: What which at Julian: 'Cause he was talking about a rich friend and stuff like that, so I was just like Nick: Ooh Ooh If we would have found that out that that house belonged to Oliver Queen, I probably would have lost my shit right then and there. my god, because low-key, I was waiting for something like that when he first got in the house and he was just looking around like what the f like No liter like yeah, literally like what's going on here and so Julian: I'm like w I'm like, is there any arrows? What's going on? I'm like, what when what does he need to have a big house for on Earth? He's a space cop. Nick: Right, and and I was like, why is there nothing here? Like what the f like what? And and then my god, but that was that that that would have been cool. And I mean he just did he wait, did he say yeah, did he say who the rich friend was? Yeah, okay, I bet. But he did he didn't say any name at all, right? Okay, bet. Bet so hey, Julian: Well we never know. He can still pop up. He never said Oliver. No, he didn't. He never said he never said it. Nope, no name. So Nick: that I like I'm I like that theory. I like that theory. Fuck it. I I I why why not? shoot. I like that a Julian: But yet Nick: lot. Julian: so but the but like using a construct without the ring is not ordinary for Green Lanterns. That's like one of the highest forms Nick: no. Julian: of willpower. Like that's the like like which is bringing me to say like what what I think his arc is gonna be. Like John might not even need a ring. He could become a ring, where he himself because like I like he's le he's giving that right now with a being able to control that construct how he was able to without a ring. Nick: Nah, because literally like during that scene, I was watching it just like kind of holding my breath. I wasn't even gonna like I wasn't even gonna think or comment on the fact that the bird hadn't gone away until the scene was over. Cause I was like, I know that once he gives Hal back the ring, like the the bird's gonna go away. And then it happened and it didn't, and I was and and Hal had the same look in his face that I did, and I was like, wait a minute. What what what what what does this mean? Like what is is he just like Julian: And how doesn't un and how doesn't understand it either. But that's w a and so Nick: Omega level powerful? No, exactly. So I don't know. Julian: and so I seen something today. Guy Gardner pops up in this next episode. Nick: Mm, yeah, yeah. He pulls up. 'Cause it what was a scene of him like pulling up to visit Julian: Jordan Jordan in jail. He's in jail. Nick: He was visiting Hal in jail or John in jail? Julian: John. Nick: John, right. Okay, and we haven't we haven't seen John get arrested, have we? Julian: Think so. Nick: So that's that's just my my question mark about that, but go on. Julian: He might get arres he might get arrested whenever he goes onto the ranch. So it's my guess. It's Nick: Mm. Ooh. no, he'll get nah, they'll shoot his ass if he goes onto the range. Julian: That's facts though, that's facts though. But I also think the sheriff might know Bats because she said Barbara and I was like, Is that Barbara Gordon? What Barbara are we talking about? 'Cause you're definitely talking to Kamish. And so does she know Batsy? Maybe not. Batsy's definitely not Nick: Yeah. Yeah, and she we know she's from Gotham. Yeah. I mean but but do we n Julian: pulling up though. Nick: No no no no no I don't think it's no yeah no. But do we think I don't do we know he was she was talking to did she say who she was talking to specifically? Julian: I don't remember but I sh he asked she asked, How's Barbara? Nick: So yeah, could maybe maybe Gordon and maybe he's calling she's calling Gordon about like, you know, help on the case, which would make sense. Julian: Exactly. That's and which is why I was like Batsy but you know, and but so Nick: Hmm. Julian: another thing is Hal's burnt body. So the aliens when they died didn't turn back into humans or into aliens. They stayed human. So Nick: Mm. Julian: is it potential that the body we see that we think is Hal Jordan's is burnt, do we think that's just an alien and he and it hadn't turned and Hal's just in hiding to let the peop the bad guys think he's dead. Nick: Which body? Julian: isn't there like don't we see someone like they hint at like Hal Jordan being dead? Nick: how you mean how's body from the end of episode one? Ooh. Julian: Yes. Yes. I'm saying that that's an alien body and not the real Hal Jordan and and he and they tried to take Hal Jordan or like replace him. Nick: Mmmmm Mmmmm Mmm I like that I like that Because that honestly that's like one of those things where it's like okay maybe Like maybe Hal actually is dead. Maybe he actually is. And like if he is, Julian: Yeah, I mean Nick: if he is, then fine. Like I'll I'm I I can bite that bullet. But that's one of those like theories where like that's the only solution I can think of that makes sense to where like we could still actually get to keep both. You know? Like where where where we would still get two Green Lanterns out of the or three Green Lanterns out of this at the end of the day. ooh. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I hope so. But it's just like, I really I just really like how the like the whole mystery of this is going. Because it's like we, you know, we see how solving in, you know, after pretty much sending John on his like errand to, you know, to to to go charge, you know, get the lantern to charge the ring and everything. we see how doing actual like alien detective work in Nebraska and stuff. But Julian: Yes. Nick: like and I okay, I really in I don't mean this this is kinda this might open a tangent, but like I just want to make this connection. I really like the line that the rancher's wife said with in the diner to John toward the end of the episode where she was like, she was like, these I can't remember if she said white men, but she basically was like, the all these white yeah, yeah, these white Julian: She said these white men. Nick: men get to be like eccentric and like get to do all this, da-da-da. And like she says this after we just watched an episode where Hal literally breaks into a morgue, takes all these dead bodies, and pulls them up to the the stadium where Julian: football the football field. Nick: Yeah, where everything happened and just to just literally Julian: D drove around with dead bodies in the car and then the sheriff didn't even arrest him. Nick: literally just to test this alien tracker. So it's like why like and that that raises a question even more. Like now I'm even more skeptical of the ranchers wipe than I was. And I'm just like I there's just so many like there's so many questions that keep getting raised and I'm just like it I I I don't know. I don't but I'm here for it. I'm here for it. Julian: So sin since we're here, h who do you think is most likely to be the manhunter? I my guess is either the granny or the sheriff. Nick: Granny or sheriff. Okay. I think I think it's most likely to husband. Granny, husband. Julian: Granny, husband, or sheriff? Or the hu it's it's those four actually. It's it's either the the grandma, the person John Smash, her husband, the sheriff, or the sheriff's or the sheriff's husband. Nick: I think I saw a theory somewhere today that was like, what if The what if all three of the people that you just three out of the all all the people in the family that you just said are a are manhunters and the sheriff knows that and which is why she's so she's in there tight with them just so she can make sure they're not like they're not doing nothing crazy or like but like even if they were, what would she do? Like for real, for real. I mean and I'm not Julian: That they they're not. Exactly she can't do anything. So Nick: you know, I'm not to say that she sh you know she's not like capable, 'cause I I really like her character. Like she's Julian: Me too. Nick: really she's really like I love how she challenges Hal. She's you know, she's smart, she doesn't Julian: And she basically told him she knew what he was sh he was getting at the whole entire time. But but sh but that meant Nick: No, literally. She was like, yeah, alien trackers in the thing or alien detectors. Julian: she was fighting him on jurisdiction she knew was his. Nick: Exactly, exactly. And like she's kinda like even in episode one, that like she knew the same thing about the the one dude like that who was the suspect being the manhunter. So it's like Julian: Yeah. Nick: she she's locked in and like pretty much a step ahead of Hal the whole time, but Hal is just like, nah, you know, I got yeah, I'm the space cop. Exactly, exactly. And also just Julian: Which is a classic Hal Jordan though. Like he's the classic over arrogant cop. And then literally, like, Nick: Yep, yep. Julian: which is why John's who he is. But like and John don't really mess with him like that. But, you know, messes with him because he needs train. Cause he knows he needs to be a Green Lantern. Which is why I think Nick: Yep, yep. Yep. Yeah. Julian: he's gonna become the ring altogether. But r Nick: But how does that how does that work? Like how did how would he become Yeah, they're gonna have to like big explain. Julian: They're gonna have to explain that shit. Because either the either he was the guardians like came and like did something, his parents and s or something like that, so that he would literally be born for this. Or I don't know. But what else? So Nick: You're kinda cooking today, Jules. You're kind of cooking today. You're like, wait, wait, wait. Rewind. I could actually, I could see that because from what I've seen about this next episode, I've heard this next episode is really good. It's like one of the best of the season. And it's focused a lot on John's parents and like you know how what how they were treating him when he was a kid. So like Julian: Mmm. Mmm. Nick: and one of one of the things I've been thinking that goes back to like the theory or like what we talked about last week about John potentially like material being the first to materialize his suit. We see a shot in the trailer of John's dad giving or like the the season preview of John's dad like showing him like a Green Lantern suit or fit or something like that. Julian: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Nick: And like maybe that's the inspiration of like when he actually creates his suit. And so like yeah, and so maybe he wanted to put it on so Julian: Where he materializes 'cause you can see he wants to put one on when he went and brought how suit. Nick: bad. He even brought it back after Hal told him not to. Like how was literally like, what do I need that for? Like, no, I don't need any Yeah, Julian: And then Warren fluted Cinestra. Nick: yeah, he brought literally he brought it anyway, and how ended up using it. He needed to. So come on. MVP John. MVP. Okay, so wait, real Julian: MVP, man. Nick: quick. We focused on No no no, but wait. I what I forgot. What were you you you said something about yeah about the parents about you said so they could Julian: Yeah, if the Guardians like basic Nick: have yeah because bro how his dad was like Had the ha him and his dad had this like weird like Yeah, real cause it was like he was being like kind of abusive, but also he was like he John knew what it was in a way that he seemed comfortable with in a way. Like he was like, I know my dad's gonna beat my ass, but I'ma still watch this Green Lantern though. Like I'ma see still see what's going on on this, you know, with this with with how on on the screen and shit. So it's like, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. But Julian: We're gonna have to wait and see for that one 'cause like trauma and all that gets touchy with, you know, when it comes to movies and stuff, like they might go one way and then go a whole complete different way. So like, especially with like 'cause like it could be like they could have it out to be where the the Guardians made them do that. Or like the Guardians think he had a deal with the Guardians so that he in the future he becomes one. We don't know. But like I think it's gonna be Nick: Or what if what if one of the parents w was a guardian? Julian: Evil work that'd be crazy actually. I don't know how that would work. Nick: Or like that'd be and I don't e I don't I don't know. Like I I don't know I don't even know. I haven't read enough Green Lantern comics to know if that would make even i any sense, but like that Julian: I don't I don't think it would. I don't I don't think there there's a there's one of those Nick: On some like, okay, let's say but cause look, we already saw in the preview there's human like versions of the guard or like they can make themselves into human form. So like what if it's like a Star Lords situation to where like one of the guardians like was on Earth for whatever reason and then like maybe they fell in love or maybe they did it for to for strategy. Julian: See with James Gunn with James Gunn, I think that's a good option. I can see that happen. Right, he's not. If if di if Nick: I mean and obvious yeah, obviously he's not directing or writing this show, but like, you know, he's he's he he's behind this in some way. Julian: there was an influence on something, I can see that totally beating the thing. Like, yeah, we we that worked Star Lord. Yeah, run it. Like I can see that happening. So but but Nick: Literally. So yeah, he could be built for it. He could be built for it. Julian: so like, you know, I think, you know, we all think that the lantern's is good. But the question is, how good. This is how good Lanterns is. You guys all remember that Ryan Reynolds Lantern's movie, the one that was kind of one of the worst comic book movies ever. Nick: How could we forget? Julian: Well, it's top seven, Nick, in HBO Max for movies. Why do you think that is? Nick: Renaissance, baby. Lantern Renaissance. Thanks to lanterns, baby. That's why. That's why. Julian: I would I would agree. Like people want through lanterns, it's so bad. They've returned to the Methadone lanterns, which is Ryan Reynolds Green Lantern. And if you don't know what Methadone is, that is what they give you to get off of hard drugs. And in this s you know, analogy, the hard drugs is lanterns and the methadone is Ryan Reynolds lanterns. Nick: Nah for real because I'm pretty sure I think I I saw that I peeped that too actually and right after it number eight is like that that animated Jon Stewart movie. So so so like so like Yeah Yeah yeah yeah so yeah No it was I liked Julian: Yes. Yes. Yes. The one where he he gets the knife and he's like he Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, that one was sick though. I'm sorry, that one's sick. Nick: it I liked it so like The fact that, you know, that people are digging all these l this lanterns content out the you know out the woodworks, you know, after j after two episodes, mind you, two episodes. Everybody wants to get hip. So Julian: It's it's two episodes. Nick: that's you know, that says a lot about the show for sure. But yeah. So what okay, Julian: Exactly. So Nick: what would you let what would you give what would you rate this episode out of out of ten? Julian: This is a good seven and maybe eight because we the amount of ore we got, the amount of setup we got for the rest of the season, it's like really they laid the eggs and seeds for to watch a lot of things grow. And I think we're gonna see Nick: Mm-hmm. Julian: our last seed needing that we need it for his backstory and then we're gonna start growing where we're gonna get into all right John's flying John's doing this John's doing that he need no need a ring he can fly without Nick: Mm. Mm-hmm. Julian: the ring now like whatever however it happens is gonna be something like that so we're gonna see but like you know hopefully they do it in a way that's not taking any other Green Lantern stories and pulling it in and taking it making into part John's I want all Green Lantern stories to stay separate so like for example Kyle Rayner he's technically one of the sh he's technically the strongest. So like yeah stronger than John, stronger than Hal, stronger than guy, stronger than all of them. So like we'll see. Hopefully we can get Killog and Tilmar Ray in there. Maybe, maybe not. They are lanterns. I really hope that they take John to Oa like at some point. So like he do. And so I h Nick: John need to go to Oa, bruh. John need to go to Oa. And we saw we got a first look at Oa or like the you know what at least where the Guardians operate in Oa. So that was pretty cool. Julian: Mm-hmm. So and we're gonna so we'll see. And I I did say the red flashing alarms for a reason. the people that captured John, I think he sacrifices all of those guys. The head dude there sacrifices all those guys and he becomes the first red Red Lantern. That guy? That guy, yeah. Nick: That guy. Interest why do you think that? Julian: I say something about it online if I'm being honest, and then when I looked at the they they had a comic reference and when I looked at the comic I was like Okay this guy like I think they had the same name. I can't remember his name from the show right now. But Nick: Mm. Julian: the comic what was the number? It was like Green Lanterns I don't know if it was the same s it's not the same one with Mogo. But it's something like that where there's a like it's the cores fighting each other. Like the lantern cores fighting each other. And it's bef Nick: Mm-hmm. Yeah. Julian: but and it's before Kyle Rayner gets his white ring, I think. regardless of it, th either way, you know, they're it's it's it's like that. But, you know, it's a it's a it's a really good show. So, you know, we're only only up from here. But what else are you Nick: Yep, yep, yep. Julian: excited for, Nick? Nick: let's see. I'm excited for okay. I s I'm I'm excited about two movies that I saw this week. what Julian: Okay. Do you did you see the Doc Stars? Nick: I'm seeing it tonight. So yeah, yeah, you're seeing Kaylee vs. Agme tonight, I'm seeing the dog stars tonight. Julian: I So okay, Fran wants to go see a different movie. Nick: She here's the thing. Here's what I was just about to say about the Dog Stars. We have been really excited about this movie for months, literally since we saw the first trailer. And then yesterday or the day before, it debuts at 30% on Rotten Tomatoes. 30 Julian: Damn. Nick: frickin' percent. And I'm like, bro, like I I really, I truly try as hard as I can. not to like hinge my you know movie experiences and like whether I'm gonna go see Julian: Okay. Nick: a movie in theaters or whatnot on the Rotten Tomato score. I tr I I truly try to stay away from it. But when you see a movie that you expect it to be like I expected it to be like in the eighties or like I expected to be you know to be like really critically acclaimed and then it's in the thirties? I'm like, bro, like it just it's it's Julian: Mm. Nick: hard. It's hard to deal with. It's hard to deal with. But So I don't I couldn't even I don't even know if I can recommend it yet. You'll have to ask me after I see it, but Julian: Okay, heard. I'll I'll I'll go ahead and keep that in the back pocket then. Nick: Yeah. But the other two movies I saw this week were the one one was Idiots, which was you know, which really funny with, you know, Dave Franco, Julian: Yeah. Nick: Osea Jackson Jr. and Mason Thames, I think the dude from How to Train Your Dragon. it was really funny. Like it was pretty it was hilarious, I'm not gonna lie. it was, you know, Julian: Okay. Nick: it was it was i i and like it was a it was a pretty good like all around like story, like pretty decent character arc, pretty Julian: Okay. Nick: like Pretty decent writing, I guess. it was, you know, it was it was really funny. Julian: What about buddy? Nick: and then and yeah, but the other one is Buddy. And man, that is probably gonna be my favorite movie of the week. Like I'm I'm not gonna lie to you. It was actually Julian: for real? Okay, okay. Nick: kind of fire because it's like for anybody that doesn't know, Buddy is like a horror kind of take on Barney. And so it's like there's like a big you know, suited dinosaur guy who has like a kid show and and all the and you know all these kids around him and like the it's pretty much just like the world of Barney, but it is it gets so twisted. And I'm not talking about like twisted in a weird like, you know, kinda you said Winnie the Pooh, like Julian: Blood and honey. Nick: Winnie yeah, Winnie the Pooh Blood Hunt. Like it's not like that where like he's just like like kind of like Julian: A slasher. Nick: like a slasher for no reason. It's like some like there's actual like good narrative to it and like you actually get attached to some of the characters and like Julian: Damn. Nick: it's just actually good horror right there. And like this is like in Julian: Okay. Nick: a good year for horror, this is another good installation right here. Julian: Okay, okay, then I'll I'll keep that on the list as far as if we if we if I change up my choice on Aken versus Coyote. I wanted to just g get it out the way because it's Nick: if if y'all yeah, if y'all are looking for something for tonight, that once but it's because I was l this is one of those movies I was watching thinking, Jules and Fran are gonna love this sh or like or na not even that they're gonna y'all are gonna love it, but like y'all gotta see this. Like just to at least get the experience of it, because it was crazy. Julian: Okay, say less. Say less. Say less. So for idiots would you say three out of five? Nick: I gave it a yeah, I gave it a three. I gave it a three on letterbox. Buddy I gave yeah, buddy I gave a four. Julian: What about buddy? Four? You know it's so funny. I typed as you were talking, I typed that down. Yeah. Nick: I literally peeped. I I peeped and I was I was like, What's he what's he writing right there? And then and you literally as you started saying that I was those those are my scores actually. So shit. Look at that. but No, yeah, yeah, Julian: That's that's funny. I could tell just by how you were talking about it what you were gonna rate it. It's funny. Nick: yeah. Julian: But yeah, guys, so the one of the things that I'm excited about this week is the issue number 39. This is 38 for New Titans. I finished this. Nick, this was Terra. Yeah, so it was Terra. Nick: Needed to know. Julian: there is a bat girl in here who's blonde. And she's working with Night Nightwing a little bit. They have some issues. And cyborg and static. Nick: Is it Barb? Julian: I don't know. It could be. It's purple her suit's purple and black. Nick: Okay, okay. Okay, okay, okay. Julian: Yeah, it's kind of giving a Hawkeye color colorway right now. But Nick: Okay. Julian: but there's like some drones and stuff like that I think she uses or bad drones. I don't know. But it might be Barb, it might not. We don't know. as of right now. Or I don't know as of right now. As far as Nick: Hmm. Julian: for the new Titans, you know, with static to the team, because this is the storyline I'm choosing to follow. But but yeah, they do have some mentioning of other things inside where the editors admit like they know that, you know, this comes from this storyline. Like they add they put that inside of the comic too. But Nick: Mm-hmm. Julian: Brothers, that's you know, something I'm on the that Brothers is is something I'm excited for because that's Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey. That comes out September twenty third, which Nick: Mmm. Yeah. Julian: you know, it's a show, eight episodes, first two dropping together, and then weekly through the the fourth of November. So I I think that's gonna be really good. And then Nick: interested to see how that goes, not to cut you off, just because that Julian: No, go ahead. Nick: whole thing is interesting about in real life, how they're related and stuff. And Julian: Yeah. Nick: the fact that they brought that to the screen is cool. But after seeing the trailer, I still don't even know necessarily what is really going on. But one, I'm seated because Julian: It looks like Woody Harrelson lives with three women in a RV and he's like, yo, I need to decompress bro. There's there's just so much. Nick: No, literally. Yeah. And I'm just like, okay. But like I'm sat for two reasons above all. Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson. Just, you know, that's the first point just cause like they're, you know, they're great. I don't think I, I don't know what the last thing I saw them together in was, but that's just two charismatic people feeding off each other. And then two, it's an Apple TV show. Like Apple TV hasn't really missed lately. I'm not going to hold you. I can't tell you an Apple TV show. that I've watched that I haven't liked now that I think about it. Like, I'm not gonna, I can't lie. Severance. Okay, this is probably the worst one is Monarch Legacy of Monsters. And that show is still good. That's the Julian: Yeah. Nick: worst one. That's like, my God. I'm not even gonna, I'm going on tangent, but keep going. My fault, my fault. Julian: I'm also excited for some new Naruto news, especially like you know, when they find a Naruto and find some more people as far as who they're gonna be casting. I'm excited Nick: Mm. Julian: for that whenever we get that news and then God Valley and I'm just kinda loving some of the people being exposed as one piece LARPers. and for those who are Nick: haha Julian: wondering what that is, it's someone who, you know, claims to know about the anime, but then when our exposed to you know having to know parts that everybody who Nick: Yeah Julian: knows the enemy knows and they don't know it, they're exposed. And Nick: Arrrgh! Julian: our favorite victim not favorite victim, our victim this week was I show speed because he Nick: Ohhhh Julian: He he did not know what God Valley was and like literally like post time skip that like it's mentioned heavily in the manga and in the anime where they're like if you watch post time skip, which is like Luki Luffy's training arc, basically he has a time skip where like he comes back stronger and all that and the whole crew comes back stronger. But like God Valley is something that happens between like it's who's it's what sets the power stage For Luffy's time, and it's like like the the people who are in charge right now when they were Luffy's age at this point, that was their that's what God Valley was. So I'm excited for them to do anything for that because that movie solely could beat Spider-Verse because if they release it near each other. Like it would beat Spider-Verse in a fight, potentially. Like people are gonna go see both of them, but the Nick: In a f in a in a quality fight or in a like box office fight? Julian: box office. Like like it'd be like people Nick: Interesting. Interesting. Julian: would go see both of those back to back. Nick: I can see that. I can see that. Julian: Like like it's gonna be a Barbenheimer type of thing. So th you Nick: Ooh, ooh. Julian: know and then another far last you know lastly you know before we go ahead and close out we have a few options as far as guests to have on the show guests we can have are like people who've you know written theses on film and did their masters and stuff or we can get people who work in the industry like some producers.

So look forward to that. And it'll more than likely Nick: Yep, yep. Julian: be an educational one where you know they talk a lot about the film and like about what you know what they believe in. And since we're getting a spooky season, it's probably gonna be more horror based. So look for Nick: Horror episode Julian: Exactly. Spooky. So look for the Nick: Yep, yep, spooky season. Julian: you know look for that, and expect some old horror to be talked about, you know, some classics. And we'll go from there. Exactly, and the new Nick: Classics, some some new order too.
