Latest / Large Nerdron Collider / This Year is Geeking Out Big Time
Transcript
- 0:11Speaker 1: Hey, everybody. Welcome to the Large Nerd drunk Alider podcast,
- 0:15Speaker 1: the podcast that's all about the geeky things happening in
- 0:17Speaker 1: the world around us and how very excited we are
- 0:19Speaker 1: about them. I'm aerial casting and with me as always,
- 0:23Speaker 1: just the co host with the mo host. Yeah, I'm
- 0:26Speaker 1: sticking with it, Jonathan Stricklin. Hi, Ariel, I can't see
- 0:30Speaker 1: you no more. You can't see me no more. I
- 0:32Speaker 1: can't see you. We're doing this episode blind. That's right,
- 0:37Speaker 1: because sometimes the internet connectivity between the two of us
- 0:41Speaker 1: gets a little wonky, and so we've turned off our
- 0:45Speaker 1: webcams and we're just hopeful that we can pick up
- 0:49Speaker 1: on audio cues. Yes, you know what, though, I'm I'm
- 0:53Speaker 1: delighted because what better way to start off than with
- 0:58Speaker 1: like a little audio try best game with my very
- 1:01Speaker 1: good friend. I like that. And before we really jump
- 1:06Speaker 1: into things, I just want to ask Ariela, have you
- 1:10Speaker 1: been able to watch anything? I know you saw Violent Night?
- 1:14Speaker 1: What was what was your reaction to that? I think
- 1:18Speaker 1: that m hmm. I think that it was oversold to me,
- 1:25Speaker 1: it was very cheesy in a way that uh, my
- 1:29Speaker 1: my partner on Tony was like, uh, this feels a
- 1:32Speaker 1: little like it it wants to be Sharknado, but it's
- 1:34Speaker 1: not even quite that funny. There were some brilliant moments
- 1:37Speaker 1: and there were some amazing lines, but the plot was
- 1:43Speaker 1: short and the bits that they should have focused more
- 1:46Speaker 1: time on they didn't really. Um it was all over
- 1:49Speaker 1: the place. It was super like cheesy, but it just
- 1:52Speaker 1: didn't quite land right, which is a shame because I
- 1:56Speaker 1: love David Harbor and John Legazamo and they're both using
- 2:00Speaker 1: actors and um, so it was the rest of the cast.
- 2:03Speaker 1: The child was very endearing, but there was not enough
- 2:05Speaker 1: endearing in the rest of the movie two make up
- 2:10Speaker 1: for it, and like there were too many sticks. So
- 2:14Speaker 1: one of the sticks was like home Alone antics if
- 2:18Speaker 1: you really followed through what a home alone antick would
- 2:21Speaker 1: do to a person. But it was such a small
- 2:25Speaker 1: part of the movie that it didn't. Again, it didn't.
- 2:28Speaker 1: It didn't superland, which was very sad because it cost
- 2:32Speaker 1: about the same amount to own it as it did
- 2:33Speaker 1: to rent it. So we bought it and now I
- 2:36Speaker 1: owned this movie. Well. Friend of the show, Shay, because
- 2:42Speaker 1: you know the show has two friends, Shay and Henry Cavill.
- 2:45Speaker 1: Friend of the Show sha uh Told described the movie
- 2:49Speaker 1: to me as imagine, it's die Hard mixed with Home
- 2:53Speaker 1: Alone and Miracle on Street. And so she really, she
- 2:57Speaker 1: really enjoyed it. She she thought it was great. And
- 3:00Speaker 1: then I heard your response, and I was like, hmmm,
- 3:03Speaker 1: I have a feeling I'm going to land somewhere in
- 3:05Speaker 1: the middle of these two reacts. Don't know where she
- 3:08Speaker 1: got the Miracle on thirty four Street because Santa Claus that, look,
- 3:15Speaker 1: it wasn't enough die Hard and it wasn't enough Home Alone,
- 3:18Speaker 1: and yet it was violent, more violent than both of those.
- 3:20Speaker 1: That's the name would lead into. Um, and it just it.
- 3:26Speaker 1: I didn't see Miracle on thirty four Street anywhere. In fact,
- 3:29Speaker 1: there was not much character growth from There was a
- 3:35Speaker 1: little bit of character growth from a couple of the characters,
- 3:38Speaker 1: like a handful, but for the majority of the characters
- 3:41Speaker 1: there was none. And they'd like tease that you might
- 3:43Speaker 1: get some, and then you you wouldn't get it. It's
- 3:46Speaker 1: really interesting because the writing duo behind this also wrote
- 3:49Speaker 1: the Sonic in the Sonic Too movie. Mm hmm, yeah,
- 3:52Speaker 1: I mean that clearly came through in the trailer. Yeah,
- 3:56Speaker 1: you know. Um, they've also done Horse there I have
- 4:00Speaker 1: not watched. I have not seen either. I haven't seen
- 4:02Speaker 1: either of the Sonic movies, and I've heard good things,
- 4:05Speaker 1: but I have not seen either of them. So I
- 4:07Speaker 1: really that was just me being snarky for no good reason.
- 4:10Speaker 1: That's fine. You you watched a movie over the holidays too,
- 4:12Speaker 1: You watch Glass Onion, correct? I did. I watched Glass Onion,
- 4:16Speaker 1: and I very much enjoyed it. I thought. I've thought
- 4:21Speaker 1: about it a lot since seeing it. I think I
- 4:23Speaker 1: enjoyed the first knives Out film, or I should just
- 4:27Speaker 1: say I enjoyed knives Out more. I shouldn't call it
- 4:31Speaker 1: a knives Out film because Ryan Johnson hates that. Yeah,
- 4:38Speaker 1: you know, I it's it's fine. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
- 4:42Speaker 1: I look forward to watching it. I just, uh, this
- 4:45Speaker 1: this holiday season ended up being a lot more all
- 4:50Speaker 1: over the place than I anticipated, which is fine. It
- 4:52Speaker 1: was good. It was a good season. Um, just you know,
- 4:54Speaker 1: I didn't get as much geek and done as I
- 4:56Speaker 1: quite wanted to. But that's okay. I've got the whole
- 4:59Speaker 1: new year to do it. That's right. And I'm interested
- 5:02Speaker 1: to hear what you think. When you do get a
- 5:04Speaker 1: chance to see Glass Onion. I felt there was a
- 5:06Speaker 1: lot more comedy in this one than in the first one.
- 5:10Speaker 1: But again, I haven't watched the first one since the
- 5:14Speaker 1: one time I did watch it, and I really enjoyed
- 5:16Speaker 1: it when I saw it, but I have not rewatched
- 5:19Speaker 1: the movie, so I don't know. Maybe if I rewatched it,
- 5:21Speaker 1: i'd say, oh no, I forgot how much comedy was
- 5:23Speaker 1: in the first one too, but there was there's a
- 5:26Speaker 1: lot of like comedy comedy and in Glass. I mean,
- 5:31Speaker 1: there was definitely funny stuff in the first one. Um,
- 5:34Speaker 1: but I was so involved in trying to figure out
- 5:36Speaker 1: what happened that I'm sure I've forgotten a lot of
- 5:39Speaker 1: the comedy that happened in there as well. Yeah, I
- 5:41Speaker 1: just need to go back and watch it. But yeah,
- 5:43Speaker 1: those were those were the things that we saw over
- 5:46Speaker 1: the holidays. I'm sure there was other stuff that I saw,
- 5:49Speaker 1: but I cannot, for the life of me think of it.
- 5:51Speaker 1: I did, like, you want to know what series I
- 5:54Speaker 1: just started, and it's uh, six years overdue. I think
- 5:58Speaker 1: at this point Community, No, that's I've watched all of
- 6:02Speaker 1: Community now. For me, it's The Punisher. I started watching
- 6:08Speaker 1: the old Netflix Punishers because of course all of those
- 6:11Speaker 1: moved over to Disney Plus, and I realized that, like
- 6:15Speaker 1: in my mind, I thought I had seen pretty much
- 6:17Speaker 1: everything except for Iron Fist and Defenders, No, I have not.
- 6:22Speaker 1: I saw the first two seasons of Daredevil, the first
- 6:25Speaker 1: season of Jessica Jones, and then that was it. The
- 6:31Speaker 1: first episode of Luke Cage. Other than missing the first
- 6:34Speaker 1: season of Luke Cage, which kind of lost its its
- 6:37Speaker 1: plot most of the way through. Um, like, you're not
- 6:41Speaker 1: missing too much, but uh, that's okay. The first season series,
- 6:48Speaker 1: the series We're not in the UK Aerial. The first
- 6:51Speaker 1: season of The Punisher I enjoyed. It was definitely um
- 6:56Speaker 1: difficult at times, but I thought thought it was go
- 7:00Speaker 1: it and well done. I didn't really get into the
- 7:02Speaker 1: second season of it. Yeah, I'm I'm in an episode
- 7:06Speaker 1: right now where I feel like, oh, this is the
- 7:09Speaker 1: episode that's thrown in to pad out the season so
- 7:14Speaker 1: that they don't get to the conclusion too fast. But
- 7:18Speaker 1: that's because I'm like, oh, this is this is an
- 7:20Speaker 1: episode that really doesn't involve most of the main storyline,
- 7:24Speaker 1: with the exception of it's an opportunity for Frank castle
- 7:28Speaker 1: A get a The Punisher to try and come to
- 7:31Speaker 1: terms with how he chooses to enact justice or revenge,
- 7:37Speaker 1: and by contrasting him with another character who is also
- 7:41Speaker 1: acting out in revenge in and it's him saying like,
- 7:44Speaker 1: you're nothing like me, and the other guy going, how
- 7:46Speaker 1: am I nothing like you? I am exactly like you?
- 7:50Speaker 1: And so I guess it serves a purpose, But in
- 7:53Speaker 1: the in the context of the overall arc of the season,
- 7:57Speaker 1: it's it's kind of an outlier. Yeah, it really is. Uh.
- 8:00Speaker 1: We also will probably uh, you and I Jonathan need
- 8:04Speaker 1: to figure out some Apple TV shows to watch and
- 8:06Speaker 1: and do a review on them now. Um, although I
- 8:09Speaker 1: didn't get a chance to do that over the holiday. Um.
- 8:14Speaker 1: But it's going to be interesting to do that because
- 8:16Speaker 1: we have so much media coming out in as well. Yes, today,
- 8:21Speaker 1: we are going to in our episode dedicate most of
- 8:24Speaker 1: it to talking about stuff that is expected to release
- 8:29Speaker 1: this year. We have limited that to movies and some series.
- 8:35Speaker 1: It is not an exhaustive list. If we had thrown
- 8:38Speaker 1: video games in there, this thing would have been like
- 8:41Speaker 1: three hour long episode probably. But before we can get
- 8:45Speaker 1: to any of that, we actually do have some short
- 8:48Speaker 1: news items we wanted to cover in our thirty seconds
- 8:51Speaker 1: or less segment. Yes, and you get to start this time. Okay.
- 8:56Speaker 1: I got my time around and I am gonna go. Okay.
- 9:03Speaker 1: You probably have heard that Jeremy Renner, who had plays
- 9:07Speaker 1: Hawkeye in the m c U, had a really serious
- 9:10Speaker 1: accident on his property over the holidays. He was run
- 9:15Speaker 1: over by his own snowblow, which is like a fourteen
- 9:18Speaker 1: thousand pounds snowplow. It crushed the right side of his
- 9:22Speaker 1: Torso he is in the hospital. He's in stable but
- 9:25Speaker 1: critical condition, and we wish him a speedy recovery. And
- 9:30Speaker 1: I am done, well done. Yes, uh quick, quick healing
- 9:35Speaker 1: to you, Jeremy Renner. All right, yes you ready, I'm
- 9:40Speaker 1: ready go alright. So Disney Plus is bringing a lot
- 9:44Speaker 1: of stuff to their slates, and one of them is uh,
- 9:48Speaker 1: I don't know, we don't know when it's coming out,
- 9:49Speaker 1: so that's why it's not one thing. Um. But one
- 9:52Speaker 1: of them is a shard Lake Novels, which is a
- 9:55Speaker 1: hunchback detective working for basically Henry the eighth Um. Really interesting.
- 10:03Speaker 1: I have no idea what it's going to be like,
- 10:05Speaker 1: but the concept certainly does intrigue me. Interesting. Yeah, you
- 10:09Speaker 1: wrote in our notes, tutor detective, and I was going
- 10:12Speaker 1: to say, Oh, I'm so excited they were getting another
- 10:14Speaker 1: true detective. No, no, that's something else. It's like literally
- 10:20Speaker 1: a hunchback lawyer turned detective and tutor England is sent
- 10:23Speaker 1: by Thomas Cromwell to investigate the beheading of Robin Singleton,
- 10:28Speaker 1: a commissioner response responsible for disbanding monasteries after Henry the
- 10:32Speaker 1: Eighth declared himself Supreme Head of the Church of England.
- 10:35Speaker 1: Or at least that's the first book. It sounds like
- 10:37Speaker 1: it was made for John Keenan and nobody else for
- 10:42Speaker 1: those for those of you who are wondering who I'm referencing,
- 10:45Speaker 1: because John Keenan is not like a celebrity. He's a
- 10:47Speaker 1: friend of ours who played Henry the Eighth for many,
- 10:50Speaker 1: many seasons at the Georgia Renaissance Festival. Yes, he also
- 10:54Speaker 1: played Cardinal Richelieu and um, little John, so he's done
- 10:58Speaker 1: and and many other things. But he's he's a really
- 11:00Speaker 1: cool guy. Yes, um, oh, you're right, Friar Tuck. Wait no, yes,
- 11:07Speaker 1: Friar Tuck, it was Tuch. It wasn't a season that
- 11:10Speaker 1: I worked, so I wasn't sure. Okay, well here's my
- 11:13Speaker 1: next one and I'm gonna go. So there was this
- 11:18Speaker 1: series on Netflix called came out in November of last year,
- 11:22Speaker 1: and it was a sort of mysterious kind of science
- 11:26Speaker 1: fiction paranormal type show that had this international cast where
- 11:30Speaker 1: everybody was speaking in their own native language. It was
- 11:32Speaker 1: really cool. It ended on kind of a cliffhanger. The
- 11:35Speaker 1: show runners had plans for two more seasons, but they're
- 11:39Speaker 1: not going to get a chance to do them because
- 11:40Speaker 1: Netflix has canceled the show. So we're just sad about
- 11:44Speaker 1: that and I'm done. It's really interesting. One of my
- 11:48Speaker 1: actor friends shared some uh something written by an article
- 11:52Speaker 1: written by somebody else um on Twitter because that's still
- 11:56Speaker 1: around UM about streaming networks and how their residuals work
- 12:02Speaker 1: and when actors get them if they get them, uh,
- 12:05Speaker 1: which is really interesting and plays into how quickly series
- 12:09Speaker 1: gets canceled. UM. So that's said. I heard really good
- 12:13Speaker 1: things about But I think that their cancelation had something
- 12:16Speaker 1: to do with the number of people who finished the
- 12:19Speaker 1: series as opposed to just started it. Yeah, because I
- 12:22Speaker 1: know that at least the early episodes were said to
- 12:26Speaker 1: have been pretty popular, but maybe that was it. Maybe
- 12:28Speaker 1: there were maybe people fell off the series too quickly
- 12:31Speaker 1: for them to justify spending the money for for future seasons. Well,
- 12:37Speaker 1: are you ready for your next one? I am and
- 12:40Speaker 1: go all right, So I get the Cuvin of Chaos,
- 12:44Speaker 1: the show that Jonathan and I are so so about,
- 12:46Speaker 1: but we'll definitely watch anyhow. Uh. The sequel to Wan
- 12:49Speaker 1: Division has announced that Deborah Joe Rupp will be returning.
- 12:53Speaker 1: She was in the she was in one Division. You
- 12:58Speaker 1: might know her better as Kitty from a seventies show.
- 13:01Speaker 1: It's really interesting to me that they're bringing back all
- 13:03Speaker 1: of the townspeople because in my brain and it's either
- 13:06Speaker 1: something more is going on with everybody that was stuck
- 13:09Speaker 1: in the town with Wanda, or maybe it's gonna dive
- 13:14Speaker 1: into everybody's lives before that. So interesting. Yeah, I don't know.
- 13:18Speaker 1: Um yeah, I don't know how I feel about this
- 13:21Speaker 1: show yet, mostly because of how they they totally bungled
- 13:28Speaker 1: handling Wanda and Doctor Strange to really still sticks in
- 13:33Speaker 1: my craw But Catherine Han is amazing, so I am
- 13:37Speaker 1: at least looking forward to her performance. Okay, I've got
- 13:41Speaker 1: a two for that. I'm gonna try and sneak into
- 13:44Speaker 1: just one thirty second spot, so here I go. First off,
- 13:51Speaker 1: George R. R. Martin says that it sounds like several
- 13:55Speaker 1: of the planned Game of Thrones of spinoff series are
- 13:58Speaker 1: now on the shelf. They've been shelved temporarily at least
- 14:02Speaker 1: possibly forever, then the whole Warner Brothers Discovery HBO Max
- 14:06Speaker 1: shake up. Meanwhile, Warner Brothers Discovery says it is done
- 14:10Speaker 1: cutting projects for the purposes of tax write offs. Doesn't
- 14:12Speaker 1: mean that they're done cutting projects entirely, but they're not
- 14:15Speaker 1: doing the tax write off thing anymore. So maybe things
- 14:18Speaker 1: will stabilize and I am done, well done, thank you? Yeah,
- 14:24Speaker 1: um yeah, I mean, here's hoping that things have stabilized,
- 14:28Speaker 1: because as we have covered towards the end of two,
- 14:33Speaker 1: things were looking pretty bleak. Yeah. Yeah, Well, we'll have
- 14:36Speaker 1: to see how it goes well. At least our next
- 14:41Speaker 1: story is got a big positive one that's not all about,
- 14:45Speaker 1: you know, sidelining projects and canceling them, right, okay, Ariel
- 14:50Speaker 1: and go Jonathan. Really set me up, you guys, because
- 14:53Speaker 1: this next story is that hasbro Inks, Wizard of the Coast,
- 14:57Speaker 1: Dungeons and Dragons and all that in magic has cut
- 15:01Speaker 1: at least five video game projects from its slate as
- 15:05Speaker 1: it's scaling back, um their plans for the next few years.
- 15:10Speaker 1: They're still committed to using digital games, and I don't
- 15:13Speaker 1: know which games they've cut, but I do think it
- 15:15Speaker 1: has to do with how um well, uh, there are
- 15:20Speaker 1: other video games uh performed, so like Balter's Gate three
- 15:26Speaker 1: or Balter's Gate I think it was three and stuff
- 15:29Speaker 1: like that. Um So, yeah, that's sad. I know a
- 15:32Speaker 1: bunch of my friends are really upset about that. Yeah,
- 15:35Speaker 1: it's a bummer. I know that at least one game
- 15:37Speaker 1: studio was talking about how they were going ahead with
- 15:40Speaker 1: game development, so there was a question over whether or
- 15:44Speaker 1: not this was a done deal decision or maybe they
- 15:48Speaker 1: weren't involved in that particular one. But I need to
- 15:51Speaker 1: read up more on it. But yeah, as a as
- 15:54Speaker 1: a D and D fan and a video game fan,
- 15:56Speaker 1: I was kind of bummed to hear this too. It
- 15:59Speaker 1: reminds me actually of when there was that time where
- 16:03Speaker 1: Disney had a ton of different Star Wars games planned
- 16:07Speaker 1: and then pulled the plug on like all of them.
- 16:09Speaker 1: And that was when we were supposed to get that
- 16:11Speaker 1: Bounty Hunter game and all this other stuff that never
- 16:14Speaker 1: saw the light of day. It reminds me a lot
- 16:16Speaker 1: of that. I mean, honestly, I hate it because I
- 16:20Speaker 1: have so many people in the game industry, you know,
- 16:22Speaker 1: game developers and writers and animators and voice actor friends
- 16:26Speaker 1: and things like that. You know, I know a lot
- 16:27Speaker 1: of people who work in making video games and board
- 16:30Speaker 1: games and RPGs and all that other stuff. It really
- 16:34Speaker 1: sucks for them. But I also hear things like how
- 16:37Speaker 1: many people don't enjoy playing Gotham Nights, or how you
- 16:40Speaker 1: know Cyberpunk twenty ever it was, yeah, you know, didn't
- 16:48Speaker 1: do well, or how mass Effect and Dromeda, which massive
- 16:51Speaker 1: actess is huge oyal following, the people didn't enjoy it
- 16:53Speaker 1: because of how buggy it was. Like, I can't be
- 16:58Speaker 1: too mad at saying scale back and paid more attention
- 17:00Speaker 1: to a fewer projects and release them with better gameplay
- 17:05Speaker 1: and more completed nous. Yeah yeah, yeah, I mean, I've
- 17:09Speaker 1: always said I would much prefer a game to come
- 17:11Speaker 1: out late than to come out broken, because if it
- 17:14Speaker 1: comes up broken, then yeah, you might get the game
- 17:17Speaker 1: when you thought you were going to get it, but
- 17:19Speaker 1: it might not be for like three or four months
- 17:21Speaker 1: before the game is you know, satisfyingly playable and that's
- 17:25Speaker 1: if the company releases the patches. Okay, well I've got
- 17:29Speaker 1: another one. I am gonna go. So there's a rumor
- 17:34Speaker 1: that the next James Bond could be played by Aaron
- 17:37Speaker 1: Taylor Johnson, who you might know as the main character
- 17:41Speaker 1: from the kick Ass Mobs, which is hard for me
- 17:44Speaker 1: to even imagine because, of course, in kick Ass he's
- 17:46Speaker 1: playing an American for one day, he is thirty two
- 17:49Speaker 1: years old. This would make him a very very young
- 17:51Speaker 1: James Bond. The rumor is that there will be a
- 17:54Speaker 1: total reinvention of the character. Maybe that will make him
- 17:57Speaker 1: an actual good spy who doesn't go around it introducing
- 18:00Speaker 1: himself and I'm done honestly. Though. He also played Quicksilver,
- 18:04Speaker 1: and he was Tangerine and Bullet Train, and based off
- 18:07Speaker 1: of his performances Tangerine and Bullet Train, I'd be all foreign.
- 18:12Speaker 1: I mean, Tangerine and Bullet Train is a very entertaining character.
- 18:15Speaker 1: He's probably my favorite character in Bullet Train. Uh. That
- 18:19Speaker 1: being said, it's it's it's a far cry from a
- 18:22Speaker 1: refined James Bond. The conversations he had went well, but
- 18:29Speaker 1: nothing is set in stone yet, so we'll have to
- 18:31Speaker 1: see if he convinces everybody else. Yes, okay and area,
- 18:36Speaker 1: are you ready for your next one? I am go
- 18:40Speaker 1: this month. A series which consists of eight eleven minute
- 18:44Speaker 1: episodes is launching for YouTube originals for kids and family.
- 18:47Speaker 1: It's called jam Van and it's like this collage style
- 18:51Speaker 1: animation thing where I guess a crocodile and some sort
- 18:55Speaker 1: of rodent go around the world interviewing different musicians. It's
- 19:00Speaker 1: like Manuel, Miranda Show, Shawl Crow all this other stuff,
- 19:03Speaker 1: um and and uh teach maybe Old Crow Medicine show.
- 19:08Speaker 1: I don't know, teach kids about music and various music styles.
- 19:12Speaker 1: And I think it looks really awesome. You should definitely
- 19:14Speaker 1: check out the trailer if you get a chance. Cool
- 19:17Speaker 1: all right. I have nothing else to add to that
- 19:19Speaker 1: because I have yet to watch the trailer. Okay, So
- 19:24Speaker 1: here's the next one, and I'm gonna go. So. Ryan Johnson,
- 19:28Speaker 1: while he's not yelling at people for calling it the
- 19:32Speaker 1: Knives Out franchise when he just wanted Knives Out to
- 19:34Speaker 1: just be the name of the first movie and that's it,
- 19:37Speaker 1: is developing this series called poker Face with Natasha Leone
- 19:42Speaker 1: as the lead character. She plays a character who is
- 19:46Speaker 1: able to tell when people are lying, which brings to
- 19:50Speaker 1: mind a lot of other detective style shows. This one
- 19:53Speaker 1: will premiere on Peacock on January twenties six. Done. So
- 19:57Speaker 1: if you need more like detective type stuff between your
- 20:06Speaker 1: h debacle brief movies, you can check this one. But well,
- 20:13Speaker 1: bloc movies was briefs or the brand new version of
- 20:20Speaker 1: Clue that's come out that has motives for all the
- 20:23Speaker 1: did you see that areal? I didn't send you that link?
- 20:25Speaker 1: Did I know you didn't. Yeah, there's a there's a
- 20:27Speaker 1: new version of Clue, a new addition of Clue coming
- 20:30Speaker 1: out where not only do you have all your characters
- 20:34Speaker 1: and weapons and locations, but now each character also has
- 20:38Speaker 1: a motive for killing Mr Body, which is just a
- 20:41Speaker 1: nice little you know, a little added flavor flavor text
- 20:46Speaker 1: till the game. I guess, I guess, um, you know,
- 20:51Speaker 1: I don't. I never really cared about their motives, but
- 20:54Speaker 1: sure sure make it a more rounded world. I mean,
- 20:57Speaker 1: it's kind of fun if you're doing, like if you
- 20:59Speaker 1: wanted to do, if you want to do a game
- 21:01Speaker 1: night where everyone is dressing up like their favorite characters
- 21:05Speaker 1: from the movie Clue. Okay, last news item before we
- 21:10Speaker 1: get to our big stuff and Aeriel Are you ready? Yes?
- 21:14Speaker 1: Go all right. So this one probably should have gone
- 21:16Speaker 1: into movie movie news, but because it comes out in
- 21:19Speaker 1: August eleven. But I'm I don't know, it's not quite
- 21:22Speaker 1: geeky enough for me. Sony Pictures has released their sneak
- 21:26Speaker 1: peak of the Grand Turismo movie that they're making, directed
- 21:29Speaker 1: by the director from District Nine. It's got Orlando Bloom
- 21:33Speaker 1: and David Harbor in it, and it's based on the
- 21:37Speaker 1: true story of a teenager who loved the game so
- 21:39Speaker 1: much that he changed his life to become a professional
- 21:42Speaker 1: race car driver. Okay, yeah, no, I think I agree
- 21:45Speaker 1: with you. I think that that it's it's geek adjacent,
- 21:51Speaker 1: I mean, but not not as not as geeky as
- 21:54Speaker 1: like if you know, I it sounds cool like. It
- 21:57Speaker 1: sounds to me kind of like almost like one of
- 21:59Speaker 1: like a sports movie in a in a way, so um,
- 22:03Speaker 1: And I like David Harbor so and I like Orlando
- 22:06Speaker 1: Bloom as an actor as well. The film has heart
- 22:08Speaker 1: pounding action, drama, romance, and badass race car action. You know,
- 22:11Speaker 1: I can't fully say it's not geeky too like uh racing,
- 22:14Speaker 1: because a lot of people like w w E. A
- 22:17Speaker 1: lot of people like football or baseball or things like that,
- 22:19Speaker 1: and you can be a total geek about those things.
- 22:22Speaker 1: So um, yeah, yeah, I like I like w w E.
- 22:26Speaker 1: At least I liked it until yesterday. But that's because
- 22:29Speaker 1: Vince McMahon is voted himself back at and that's I'm
- 22:33Speaker 1: not gonna go there. It's a very upsetting story. Don't
- 22:36Speaker 1: have time, but but yeah, we don't have time and
- 22:39Speaker 1: we want positive vibes, so I'm gonna leave it behind.
- 22:42Speaker 1: Uh yeah. And also I will say I'm not the
- 22:44Speaker 1: person for for race car movies. I was talking about
- 22:47Speaker 1: this with my partner Rebecca the other day where we
- 22:49Speaker 1: were chatting about how neither of us have seen any
- 22:53Speaker 1: of the Fast and Furious movies and have very little
- 22:56Speaker 1: interest in it. And yet I'm listening to the worst
- 22:59Speaker 1: idea of all time time and this this current season,
- 23:02Speaker 1: this is a plug for a podcast is not ours,
- 23:04Speaker 1: but this current season. What they're doing is they're watching
- 23:07Speaker 1: the Fast and Furious films in reverse order, and they're
- 23:10Speaker 1: watching each one the number of times that it is
- 23:15Speaker 1: in the series, So Fast and Furious nine they're watching
- 23:18Speaker 1: nine times. Then they'll watch, they'll watch the eighth one
- 23:22Speaker 1: eight times and they watch it backwards that way, so
- 23:25Speaker 1: it'll be forty five films from start to finish until
- 23:28Speaker 1: they get to the end. You know. For me, I
- 23:31Speaker 1: don't generally enjoy racing movies unless it's a plot point
- 23:35Speaker 1: in Doom Patrol or it's Logan Lucky, which is a
- 23:38Speaker 1: brilliant movie, but it's more of a heist movie than
- 23:40Speaker 1: a racing movie. Um. But I do love stunt driving,
- 23:44Speaker 1: so to me, Fast and Furious doesn't necessarily um fall
- 23:48Speaker 1: into like the NASCAR category, um as it does stunt driving.
- 23:52Speaker 1: So yeah, you know, I think the Fast and Furious
- 23:57Speaker 1: series for me, it's it's the problem is my brain
- 23:59Speaker 1: can accept it because from my understanding, it starts at
- 24:03Speaker 1: a very grounded place where the first film is like
- 24:05Speaker 1: about street racing, and yeah, there's incredible stunt driving, but
- 24:08Speaker 1: it doesn't like defy the laws of physics. By the
- 24:11Speaker 1: time you get to the ninth one, you've got like
- 24:13Speaker 1: cars Tarzan swinging between buildings, are going up into space
- 24:17Speaker 1: with people inside it and they're able to survive. And
- 24:20Speaker 1: I just I don't think my brain could handle a
- 24:23Speaker 1: world that supports all of that so I just I
- 24:27Speaker 1: just can't. Yeah, yeah, I get that. Uh well that's
- 24:34Speaker 1: oh yeah, yeah. Well, and a lot of the stuff
- 24:39Speaker 1: we're about to talk about. We don't have much to
- 24:41Speaker 1: say other than we're just kind of doing a run
- 24:43Speaker 1: through of the things we expect to come out this year,
- 24:47Speaker 1: keeping in mind, of course, that release dates and stuff
- 24:50Speaker 1: like that can sometimes be a little whibbly wobbly timey. Whymy,
- 24:54Speaker 1: the closer they are, the less likely they are to change.
- 24:56Speaker 1: But there's always that. Yes, so get your pen and
- 24:59Speaker 1: paper out. So the anything that you hear about that
- 25:01Speaker 1: you want to watch, you can. Yeah. So we'll get
- 25:04Speaker 1: started and say that Mathreek a Megan comes out today
- 25:09Speaker 1: the day this podcast goes out, so January six three.
- 25:13Speaker 1: This is of course the AI doll, you know, human
- 25:17Speaker 1: sized doll video with the crazy dance sequence that everyone
- 25:20Speaker 1: went nuts for for TikTok. That movie is out now.
- 25:24Speaker 1: The reviews I've seen have said that, uh, it tends
- 25:28Speaker 1: to come across a little more serious than what people
- 25:31Speaker 1: were expecting. It's not quite as campy and over the
- 25:34Speaker 1: top is what they were thinking. Like, there are those sequences,
- 25:37Speaker 1: but they are mostly featured in the trailer. Uh, but Yeah,
- 25:41Speaker 1: still still kind of curious about that one myself. I
- 25:44Speaker 1: don't know if I'll see it, so I will wait
- 25:46Speaker 1: for your review on that one. Uh The Nets comes
- 25:49Speaker 1: out today, did you say that? Yeah? January six? Okay, Um,
- 25:55Speaker 1: that's my entire mindset about M three. I'm like, Okay,
- 26:01Speaker 1: that's that's existing. I should pay more attention to you, Jonathan,
- 26:04Speaker 1: makes for a better podcast. The next movie coming out
- 26:06Speaker 1: is The Pale Blue Eye Sad Boy in the Corner.
- 26:09Speaker 1: The second half is just our loving title for it. Yeah,
- 26:13Speaker 1: this is the one that has uh the character. One
- 26:15Speaker 1: of the characters is Eggar Allen Poe, who gets pulled
- 26:17Speaker 1: into an investigation of a military cadets death. I think
- 26:21Speaker 1: this one's actually out right now on Netflix if I'm
- 26:25Speaker 1: not mistaken. If not, it'll be out very soon. I
- 26:27Speaker 1: know that the last time I logged into Netflix, there
- 26:29Speaker 1: was a big old picture of Pale Blue Eye as
- 26:33Speaker 1: as one of the films there. So this is another
- 26:36Speaker 1: one that I'm curious about. I don't know if I'll
- 26:38Speaker 1: get around to seeing it because I got to be
- 26:40Speaker 1: in a special mood to watch a Sad Boy in
- 26:42Speaker 1: the Corner film. Yeah, me too. Speaking of bizarre movies
- 26:45Speaker 1: that that might have come out under the radar. I
- 26:48Speaker 1: think White Noises out too, that came out in December,
- 26:50Speaker 1: which we talked about in a previous episodes. And I
- 26:53Speaker 1: want to watch Okay, the next one, this one, oh
- 26:56Speaker 1: oh no, okay, I will okay. The next one is
- 26:59Speaker 1: the t in Wolf of the movie on Paramount Plus,
- 27:02Speaker 1: which also comes out this month January, which if you
- 27:05Speaker 1: don't watch the TV show you won't be able to follow,
- 27:08Speaker 1: is the consensus from Jonathan and I. Um, but that's
- 27:11Speaker 1: coming out this month if you are looking forward to it. Yeah,
- 27:14Speaker 1: we watched the trailer and neither of us can make
- 27:16Speaker 1: head or tail of it, even though werewolves may or
- 27:18Speaker 1: may not have tails. Tales. Uh, this next one is
- 27:22Speaker 1: one that you you sent me the preview for just
- 27:25Speaker 1: today the day we're recording this episode. M hm uh.
- 27:29Speaker 1: And it's called Jung E Young E. Okay, I'm gonna
- 27:33Speaker 1: just read the synopsis because it's a lot easier. In
- 27:35Speaker 1: a post apocalyptic near future, a researcher at an ai
- 27:38Speaker 1: lab leads the effort to end a civil war by
- 27:40Speaker 1: cloning the brain of a heroic soldier her mother and
- 27:42Speaker 1: putting it into like a robotic body. So it's it's
- 27:45Speaker 1: vaguely like, um, I've heard it described as like, uh
- 27:51Speaker 1: RoboCop meets Elysium, um, whatever, whatever it is, it actually
- 27:56Speaker 1: looks incredibly interesting. Um, I am going to watch it. Yeah,
- 28:03Speaker 1: it looks like like characters are going to go through
- 28:06Speaker 1: some pretty severe emotional and physical trauma. Uh so yeah,
- 28:10Speaker 1: but no now, but like seeing her like in that
- 28:14Speaker 1: cyborg type robotic body, screaming as they're cutting off her
- 28:20Speaker 1: robot arm, it was pretty traumatic just for me. And
- 28:23Speaker 1: that's the I wasn't even the character going through it.
- 28:26Speaker 1: I mean, I think this is I think it's gonna
- 28:28Speaker 1: be a scary movie. And I also, uh, there's a
- 28:31Speaker 1: trailer out for it, obviously. I also feel like, um like,
- 28:36Speaker 1: there was also a point part in the trailer where
- 28:38Speaker 1: she's like, I can't feel my body at all. It's
- 28:40Speaker 1: the scariest thing about the doctor Who's cybermen for me.
- 28:42Speaker 1: So maybe that's why which are the scariest fill into
- 28:45Speaker 1: me and doctor Who's So maybe that's why, um, I
- 28:48Speaker 1: find it so intriguing. Yeah, I would have been scared
- 28:51Speaker 1: more of the Dolleks except for the fact that I've
- 28:53Speaker 1: got stairs in my house, they retroactively a red con
- 29:00Speaker 1: that in uh next up, we got the in February.
- 29:04Speaker 1: We're now into the February movies and we're getting Titanic again.
- 29:09Speaker 1: It's not a new version of Titanic. It's a remastered
- 29:13Speaker 1: version of James Cameron's Titanic, the film that broke all
- 29:18Speaker 1: box office records when it came out and told us
- 29:20Speaker 1: that our hearts can go on. So like I was,
- 29:24Speaker 1: I was young and impressionable when the movie came out
- 29:27Speaker 1: and I saw it in the theaters twice, and the
- 29:28Speaker 1: first time I was like, oh my gosh, this movie
- 29:30Speaker 1: was so it was just so big an epic right,
- 29:33Speaker 1: And then I watched it again a couple of weeks later,
- 29:35Speaker 1: and I'm like, this story sucks so and we've also
- 29:40Speaker 1: gotten a lot more like I mean, I also watched
- 29:43Speaker 1: Beside an Adventure as a very young child, and that
- 29:46Speaker 1: was very scary to me, even though like cruise ships
- 29:48Speaker 1: now so um Like, I don't know, I feel like
- 29:53Speaker 1: we have better movies to remaster than Titanic. But sure,
- 29:58Speaker 1: if you want to mediocre kind of bad love story
- 30:02Speaker 1: it I mean, it's it's it's a James Cameron thing
- 30:05Speaker 1: where you get this incredible technical masterpiece right, Like, from
- 30:10Speaker 1: a technical standpoint, Titanic is phenomenal. The amount of work
- 30:15Speaker 1: and attention to detail are are undeniable in that movie.
- 30:21Speaker 1: But but yeah, the the emotional story ends up being
- 30:24Speaker 1: very surface level, like like superficial to me. Which is
- 30:29Speaker 1: the problem I have with James Cameron is that I
- 30:34Speaker 1: think of him as like the other side of the
- 30:35Speaker 1: coin of Michael Bay, and that you've got these two
- 30:38Speaker 1: directors who are very good at creating spectacle in an
- 30:42Speaker 1: astonishing way, but there's not much on the other side
- 30:47Speaker 1: of It's just Michael Bay is the evil version of that,
- 30:49Speaker 1: and James Cameron's the not as evil version of that.
- 30:54Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. It reminds me of an episode from
- 30:58Speaker 1: Future Man where they go to James Cameron's house. I
- 31:01Speaker 1: won't get into that. Don't watch Future Man if you're
- 31:04Speaker 1: at all offended in any way about anything easily. Um okay, uh.
- 31:08Speaker 1: We'll go from Giant to Misscule and talk about Aunt
- 31:13Speaker 1: Man in the Wasp Quantum Media because that's also coming
- 31:15Speaker 1: out in February. Yeah, February is going to be a
- 31:18Speaker 1: big month, Like January typically is where studios put movies
- 31:21Speaker 1: to die. But the February is where we're starting to
- 31:25Speaker 1: already get into blockbusters and Quantum Mania is uh is
- 31:30Speaker 1: the next one, and I really am curious about it
- 31:32Speaker 1: because it's the film that is meant to set up
- 31:36Speaker 1: Kang as the big bad for this this series of
- 31:40Speaker 1: phases in the m c U. Of course, Kang was
- 31:43Speaker 1: already introduced in the low Key series, but we haven't
- 31:48Speaker 1: really seen much about him since then, and he's meant
- 31:51Speaker 1: to be like the big, big threat to the m
- 31:55Speaker 1: c U leading up to the the the final Avengers
- 31:59Speaker 1: movie is in phase six before whatever Marvel segues into next.
- 32:04Speaker 1: So this one will be a very important movie. And
- 32:08Speaker 1: if they get it right, that's gonna be a great
- 32:11Speaker 1: job for them to build toward the future. And if
- 32:12Speaker 1: they get it wrong, boy, how to you are they
- 32:14Speaker 1: going to be in trouble. It's it's also a big
- 32:17Speaker 1: movie because it's adding to their their young heroes Slate
- 32:21Speaker 1: with hot girl hot not hot girl with um Oh
- 32:30Speaker 1: my goodness, Jonathan, why is my brain not thinking of
- 32:32Speaker 1: the character from Hawkeye the television show. Oh you mean
- 32:36Speaker 1: you mean Kate Bishop? Yeah, with Kate Bishop and Miss
- 32:39Speaker 1: Marvel and all that. Because Cassie Lane, who is the
- 32:41Speaker 1: daughter of Scott Lang, is also going to uh, I
- 32:45Speaker 1: believe Dawn her superhero uniform, So yeah, I've seen at
- 32:51Speaker 1: least one shot where she looks like she's wearing one
- 32:53Speaker 1: of those probably c g I outfits. So yeah. And
- 33:00Speaker 1: then the next movie on our list in February is
- 33:04Speaker 1: one that I have no intention of seeing, but we
- 33:07Speaker 1: had to put it on here because the advertising campaign
- 33:10Speaker 1: got a lot of attention, and that is Cocaine Bear. Yeah.
- 33:13Speaker 1: I I will end up watching it, but it will
- 33:16Speaker 1: be at a bad movie night, and that's fine. That's fine,
- 33:19Speaker 1: that's where that movie belongs in my mind. I agree,
- 33:23Speaker 1: But I got well, this one looks kind of like
- 33:25Speaker 1: a Sharknado kind of in the sense that it's clearly
- 33:29Speaker 1: made in a tongue in cheeks sort of way. Doesn't
- 33:33Speaker 1: look as cynical, maybe as because Sharknado I think of
- 33:36Speaker 1: as a movie that was made by committee that it wasn't.
- 33:40Speaker 1: There wasn't anyone's passion projects certainly, But I have a
- 33:44Speaker 1: real problem with Cocaine Bear because I'm like, I don't
- 33:47Speaker 1: think I can accept a movie that is built around
- 33:52Speaker 1: animal cruelty presented as entertained that I just can't get
- 33:56Speaker 1: past that. That is really hard. I do not like
- 33:58Speaker 1: animal endangerment. I hadn't thought about that. Now maybe I
- 34:02Speaker 1: won't watch it in a bad movie night. I will say, though,
- 34:04Speaker 1: like Sharknado feels like a cash grab. If you like Sharknado,
- 34:09Speaker 1: that's great. I'm glad that that movie is for you. Um.
- 34:13Speaker 1: You know, because that's why we have so much media
- 34:15Speaker 1: is because different stuff really hits home for different people. Um.
- 34:19Speaker 1: You can do tongue in cheek and you can do
- 34:21Speaker 1: farcical and be phenomenal. Um. Or you can do tongue
- 34:25Speaker 1: in cheek and farcical and be pretty fun um or
- 34:29Speaker 1: you can do it and be crappy. So like, I
- 34:31Speaker 1: don't think just because it's done as a tongue in
- 34:34Speaker 1: cheeks sort of whatever gag means that it's inherently going
- 34:41Speaker 1: to be bad. But yeah, yeah, no, I'm taking that
- 34:44Speaker 1: one off my list. Nathan, Thank you, you're welcome. I mean,
- 34:48Speaker 1: I get really judgy about these kind of things, but
- 34:50Speaker 1: it's hard for me to apologize for it when it
- 34:53Speaker 1: has to do with animals. You know, now, I get that.
- 34:56Speaker 1: I totally get that. I have a hard time watching
- 34:58Speaker 1: even Homeward Bound, so and they have a happy ending.
- 35:01Speaker 1: Homeward Bound for anybody who doesn't know as an old
- 35:04Speaker 1: nineties movie about three animals that get lost and have
- 35:06Speaker 1: to find their way home. I just realized that some
- 35:08Speaker 1: of our listeners may not know. You know what, if
- 35:12Speaker 1: we're going to be concerned about every reference we make
- 35:15Speaker 1: that our listeners might not get, I'm gonna be here
- 35:17Speaker 1: all damn day. I had to put a little buffer
- 35:20Speaker 1: between Cocaine Bear in the next movie, just a little
- 35:22Speaker 1: bit of happy Okay, Well, I'm glad, I'm glad we're able.
- 35:27Speaker 1: I'm glad we're able to get past that because in
- 35:30Speaker 1: March we're going to get Scream six. That's that's uh so,
- 35:37Speaker 1: that's that's another one I'm looking forward to because I actually,
- 35:40Speaker 1: I actually really liked the Scream, although I haven't seen
- 35:42Speaker 1: the last one. I still haven't. I mean, the Killer
- 35:47Speaker 1: was spoiled for me because I watched Red Letter Media
- 35:52Speaker 1: content and they had one of the actors from Scream
- 35:55Speaker 1: five on there and revealed that he was that they
- 36:00Speaker 1: were in fact the Killer. Yeah, I mean, we we
- 36:04Speaker 1: aren't getting um who is the actress who has played
- 36:08Speaker 1: at I've only seen the first Scream. Everybody Campbell. We're
- 36:12Speaker 1: not getting Nev Campbell back for it, but we're getting
- 36:14Speaker 1: Jenna Ortega and she is brilliant as Wednesday, So, um,
- 36:20Speaker 1: best part of that show. After that, we're also or
- 36:23Speaker 1: also in March, I don't know if it's before after,
- 36:25Speaker 1: we're getting sixty five, which is, um, you know, outer
- 36:29Speaker 1: space Jurassic Park with Adam Driver. So that's happening. It's
- 36:34Speaker 1: just it's just Earth Jurassic Park. It's not even Jurassic Park.
- 36:37Speaker 1: It's just Jurassic period. Look, they had to they had
- 36:40Speaker 1: to commute through outer space to get there. Uh, but
- 36:46Speaker 1: also fantastical on Earth. We're also getting Shazamn Fury of
- 36:49Speaker 1: the Gods in March. Yep, yep, that's you know. It's
- 36:52Speaker 1: one of the interesting things we're going to see this
- 36:55Speaker 1: this year is that this is the year where we
- 36:57Speaker 1: get the final films in the existing d C Extended Universe,
- 37:04Speaker 1: and that after this things get changed quite a bit
- 37:09Speaker 1: due to the shake up over at Warner Brothers Discovery. So, uh,
- 37:14Speaker 1: Shazam is the beginning of the end for those DC movies. Yeah,
- 37:18Speaker 1: they have been announced that Zachary Levi isn't coming back,
- 37:21Speaker 1: but my guess is they will do that once the
- 37:22Speaker 1: movie comes out, because you don't want to ruin people's
- 37:24Speaker 1: excitement about the movie, right, Yeah, that sounds that sounds legit,
- 37:28Speaker 1: Like why would you make that announcement before the movie
- 37:30Speaker 1: and thus kill any interest in the film. Although you know,
- 37:33Speaker 1: it's weird because we already know about all the different
- 37:36Speaker 1: cuts that have been made to say, the Flash film,
- 37:38Speaker 1: which comes out later, and we'll get to that. Before
- 37:40Speaker 1: we get to that, though, we have another movie in
- 37:42Speaker 1: March that people are going to be looking forward to.
- 37:44Speaker 1: It's John Wick for Wick Harder. That is exactly the
- 37:49Speaker 1: real title about it. And that's all I have to say. Yeah,
- 37:54Speaker 1: it's same here. Like I think the John Wick movies
- 37:57Speaker 1: are entertaining, but the more I watched them, the more
- 38:01Speaker 1: it's kind of like the fast and furious stuff that
- 38:03Speaker 1: I was talking about earlier. I get exasperated because I'm like, seriously,
- 38:07Speaker 1: is every single person in this universe and assassin? Is
- 38:11Speaker 1: everyone an assassin? Then who the heck are they? Look?
- 38:14Speaker 1: Who's who's who's who's the customer? Look? At least one
- 38:17Speaker 1: person in every party has to be an assassin. That's
- 38:20Speaker 1: what d and d on Our among Thieves is going
- 38:22Speaker 1: to teach us in March as well. This is the
- 38:24Speaker 1: movie that I forgot was coming. How could you forget, Jonathan?
- 38:29Speaker 1: But because I haven't seen anything about it since we
- 38:32Speaker 1: got the trailer like last summer, that's fair enough. Yeah,
- 38:36Speaker 1: it's it's been kind of pretty quiet. I'm still hopeful
- 38:40Speaker 1: that it's at least fun. That's all I want. I
- 38:43Speaker 1: just want it to be fun. It doesn't have to
- 38:44Speaker 1: have a great story, it doesn't have to be a
- 38:46Speaker 1: great movie. It doesn't even have to have amazing special effects.
- 38:50Speaker 1: I just want it to be fun. Yeah, there were
- 38:52Speaker 1: there were elements of the trailer that were cheesy, but
- 38:56Speaker 1: cheesy in the right kind of way. And there were
- 38:58Speaker 1: other elements in the trailer that gave me some concern,
- 39:01Speaker 1: gave Tippled concerned too. You can hear him, Yeah he's
- 39:04Speaker 1: really concerned in the background. Yeah. So but yeah, we um,
- 39:09Speaker 1: we'll have to wait. Like, I don't think I'm going
- 39:11Speaker 1: to go to the theater to see this one unless
- 39:14Speaker 1: I just hear from people like no, Jonathan, you seriously
- 39:16Speaker 1: need to go. You're really gonna like it, Then I'll
- 39:19Speaker 1: go check it out. But yeah. I I just, uh,
- 39:22Speaker 1: this one has not sold me. And and maybe it's
- 39:25Speaker 1: also because I haven't seen any marketing material. It could
- 39:27Speaker 1: just be that's going through a very lengthy editing process,
- 39:31Speaker 1: and who knows, maybe it'll end up being a very
- 39:32Speaker 1: different movie than what we would have seen based upon
- 39:35Speaker 1: the trailers that we got last summer. I think I'll
- 39:38Speaker 1: see it in the movie theaters. I won't see Super
- 39:41Speaker 1: Mario Brothers movie in a the Super Mario Brothers movie
- 39:43Speaker 1: in April in the theaters unless like my niece and
- 39:47Speaker 1: nephews dragged me along, in which case, you know, I'll
- 39:50Speaker 1: go watch it for them. It just doesn't excite me.
- 39:53Speaker 1: But I know a lot of people are excited about it,
- 39:56Speaker 1: and some people are hesitant about the voice acting, So yeah, performs.
- 40:01Speaker 1: I mean it's got it's got Anya Taylor Joy in it.
- 40:05Speaker 1: My my movie girlfriend, and uh, you know, but she's
- 40:09Speaker 1: playing a cartoon. So I'm less interested in this one.
- 40:11Speaker 1: So I don't know if i'll see yet. Like I said,
- 40:14Speaker 1: I haven't seen the Sonic movies video game movies, and
- 40:17Speaker 1: as a rule, I don't tend to get super excited
- 40:20Speaker 1: about because there were so many bad ones. But and
- 40:23Speaker 1: the trailers for this, Like, I like everything except Mario
- 40:27Speaker 1: and the trailers I've seen so far. Yeah, I mean
- 40:30Speaker 1: I was fine with Mario, honestly, that was fine. I'm
- 40:32Speaker 1: just not excited about it. However, we did just just
- 40:36Speaker 1: like yet the day before recording this, get the trailer
- 40:38Speaker 1: for Renfield, the movie with Nicholas Holt playing Renfield and
- 40:41Speaker 1: Nick Cage playing Dracula and Aquafina in it that I've
- 40:44Speaker 1: been so excited about for months now. You guys have
- 40:47Speaker 1: heard me talk about it before the trailer come out
- 40:49Speaker 1: came out. It looks as ridiculous as I hoped. Yeah,
- 40:54Speaker 1: it looks absolutely bonkers. And I loved that trailer. It
- 40:58Speaker 1: was so funny and over the top action. There's some
- 41:04Speaker 1: horror element to it, obviously because you're talking about Dracula.
- 41:07Speaker 1: A lot of like there's a lot of humor. There's
- 41:09Speaker 1: a lot of like jokes that center around things like
- 41:13Speaker 1: a toxic work culture kind of thing, which is just
- 41:16Speaker 1: funny when you're talking about Dracula and Rinfield. Uh. Yeah,
- 41:20Speaker 1: I really liked this too, and it definitely caught my attention.
- 41:25Speaker 1: I will I have to see this movie. Yeah, Aquafine
- 41:30Speaker 1: and Nicholas Hole and Nicholas Cage all do two things
- 41:34Speaker 1: really well. One they all just absolutely commit to their
- 41:39Speaker 1: characters in whatever situation they're in, which you need for
- 41:42Speaker 1: a movie like this, and then two, they're really good
- 41:45Speaker 1: at making you care about completely wacky characters. So yeah,
- 41:49Speaker 1: on board. I don't know about this next movie though. Okay,
- 41:52Speaker 1: the next one is Evil Dead Rise, the next in
- 41:55Speaker 1: the Evil Dead series. This is like the post ash
- 41:59Speaker 1: version version of Evil Dead. Ah. Evil Dead obviously a
- 42:03Speaker 1: beloved campy horror movie series that has gone back and
- 42:08Speaker 1: forth between true camp to like gruesome gory horror depending
- 42:15Speaker 1: upon the the entry in the series. So this next
- 42:19Speaker 1: one was originally supposed to just be released as a
- 42:21Speaker 1: streaming title, but it was decided to reposition it as
- 42:26Speaker 1: a theatrical release. So we will be getting Evil Dead
- 42:29Speaker 1: Rise in April, and then we move into May, yes,
- 42:33Speaker 1: where we get Guardians of the Galaxy Volume three, which
- 42:38Speaker 1: I was more excited about before the trailer came out. Well,
- 42:43Speaker 1: get ready to say bye to some of your favorite characters.
- 42:45Speaker 1: Dracks is not going to make it out, folks. He's
- 42:48Speaker 1: not gonna and Dave Batista is happy about it. Yeah,
- 42:54Speaker 1: I mean, like they could give him a happy retirement.
- 42:57Speaker 1: Ah that uh, I mean, I think he'll get the
- 43:03Speaker 1: same sort of happy retirement that yawn Do got that
- 43:07Speaker 1: was not happy at all, but it was retirement. Yeah.
- 43:12Speaker 1: I um. I definitely will see Guardians of Galaxy volume three.
- 43:16Speaker 1: I loved the first one. The second one I enjoyed.
- 43:20Speaker 1: I didn't love it as much as some people, And
- 43:23Speaker 1: I definitely want to see how they finish up the story.
- 43:27Speaker 1: I want to see what, you know, where these characters
- 43:29Speaker 1: could potentially go, whichever one's managed to make it out.
- 43:33Speaker 1: I don't think we're gonna see all of them survive. Yeah,
- 43:36Speaker 1: it's really sad, but at least we have the guard
- 43:38Speaker 1: Guardians of the Galaxy Christmas special we can always jump
- 43:41Speaker 1: back to. We also have Fast ten, Fast X the
- 43:46Speaker 1: ten no, the eleventh movie in the Fast and the
- 43:48Speaker 1: Furious franchise, even though it's Fast ten. Well, oh you're right,
- 43:53Speaker 1: you're right because of yeah, Hobbs and Shaw. Right, Yeah,
- 43:57Speaker 1: so it's the eleventh movie in the Fast and Furious
- 43:59Speaker 1: France shies. It's the tenth Fast and Furious movie. It's
- 44:02Speaker 1: all very confusing. They should have just called it Hobbs
- 44:05Speaker 1: and Shaw the tenth or something I don't know. Yeah,
- 44:09Speaker 1: who would have thought that movies that have so little
- 44:11Speaker 1: plot could be so confusing? It's just because the naming conventions. Apparently,
- 44:17Speaker 1: apparently I'm gonna have to watch forty five movies before
- 44:19Speaker 1: I can watch Fast X or yeah, well, yeah, you
- 44:23Speaker 1: should definitely listen to the worst idea of all times.
- 44:26Speaker 1: Like the last episode I listened to was just the
- 44:28Speaker 1: second one in this season. I think the third one
- 44:31Speaker 1: should be out like this week that the second one
- 44:33Speaker 1: they had already gone from. This is gonna be a
- 44:36Speaker 1: funny idea to man, I hate this movie. Yeah, yeah,
- 44:41Speaker 1: a movie. Another movie that has gotten a little and
- 44:44Speaker 1: we're going to have to stop talking quite so much
- 44:45Speaker 1: about all of these, but that's gonna be really hard
- 44:47Speaker 1: to do. Another movie that has gotten a little bit
- 44:49Speaker 1: of like a mixed reception, but I'm very excited for
- 44:52Speaker 1: is The Little Mermaid, which is also coming out in May. Yeah.
- 44:56Speaker 1: This is the live action adaptation of the Disney animated
- 44:59Speaker 1: Class And while I remain irritated that Disney keeps making
- 45:05Speaker 1: these live action films, I'm excited about this one because
- 45:08Speaker 1: when you see the reactions of little black girls seeing
- 45:13Speaker 1: themselves reflected in a Disney character on screen. I dare
- 45:17Speaker 1: you not to feel your heart grow three sizes? Yeah, yeah,
- 45:23Speaker 1: don't be a cringe. Also super exciting. Jonathan may not
- 45:28Speaker 1: be very excited for a lot of video game movies,
- 45:32Speaker 1: especially animated ones, but I know he's excited for Spider
- 45:36Speaker 1: Man Across the Spider Verse, which is also an animated movie.
- 45:39Speaker 1: I know you like animated movies. I don't know I
- 45:41Speaker 1: put it that way. I don't know either, because I
- 45:44Speaker 1: was like, where are you going? This isn't a video
- 45:45Speaker 1: game movie. No, So this is coming out in June.
- 45:48Speaker 1: We talked about this recently. We because we talked about
- 45:52Speaker 1: the preview, so I don't think there's anything more that
- 45:53Speaker 1: we need to say other than the original Into the
- 45:57Speaker 1: Spider Verse movie is one of the best Spiderman films ever,
- 46:02Speaker 1: and I expect this one will continue that trend. Uh.
- 46:06Speaker 1: Next up in June, we have a movie that I
- 46:08Speaker 1: have no desire to see, and I made no no
- 46:12Speaker 1: uh doubt about that when we talked about the trailer
- 46:14Speaker 1: for this one, which is Transformers Rise of the Beasts,
- 46:17Speaker 1: which brings in the the Beast robots, the like Gorilla
- 46:21Speaker 1: and stuff like that. I could not care less. I. Yeah,
- 46:27Speaker 1: I'm not excited about this one. But again, if you
- 46:30Speaker 1: like Transformers, that's awesome. I did get my husband the
- 46:33Speaker 1: Lego Transformer for Christmas, so optimist prime. So uh yeah,
- 46:39Speaker 1: if you like it awesome, June's your June's your month. Also,
- 46:43Speaker 1: if you like Pixar, June's your month because Elemental is
- 46:45Speaker 1: coming out. Yeah, we saw the teaser for this. It
- 46:48Speaker 1: looked cute. It has a little meat cute moment on
- 46:53Speaker 1: a subway, but really that's all we've had so far.
- 46:55Speaker 1: So until we get more of a trailer, it's hard
- 46:58Speaker 1: to really get a hand on what this film, what
- 47:02Speaker 1: the main plot is going to be. But it's Pixar.
- 47:05Speaker 1: They have a pretty good record, not a perfect one.
- 47:08Speaker 1: It used to be perfect, but they've had a few
- 47:11Speaker 1: clunkers since then, so hopefully this will be one of
- 47:14Speaker 1: the grand slam home run style Pixar films and not
- 47:18Speaker 1: another clunker. I'm eager to see more. Yeah. Uh. The
- 47:23Speaker 1: next movie that we have that's coming out in June
- 47:25Speaker 1: is The Flash. If you want to be a completionist
- 47:28Speaker 1: about the Snyder verse, uh, here's your chance. Well, I
- 47:32Speaker 1: mean you'll have Acaba, but that's true. Yeah, you'll have
- 47:36Speaker 1: one last chance to see film in Yeah, so this one,
- 47:41Speaker 1: this is the one where they cut the cameos of
- 47:44Speaker 1: Wonder Woman and Superman. Uh So, it's also the one
- 47:48Speaker 1: where we're still wondering how they're going to promote the
- 47:50Speaker 1: movie because Ezra Miller, the star of the Flash, has
- 47:53Speaker 1: had very public, very embarrassing pr issues. That's putting it
- 47:59Speaker 1: lightly prime is another way of putting it. Um So, yeah,
- 48:03Speaker 1: we we don't really. I think this is this is
- 48:06Speaker 1: kind of like don't worry Darling, in that the drama
- 48:09Speaker 1: going on around the movie is what's getting more attention
- 48:12Speaker 1: than the movie itself. I would have to agree. And
- 48:15Speaker 1: originally I was going to say, you don't cancel Michael
- 48:17Speaker 1: Keaton and that why that's why the movie is still
- 48:19Speaker 1: coming out. But they did scrap the bat Girl uh
- 48:21Speaker 1: TV movie, so he was supposed to be in that
- 48:24Speaker 1: as well. Um. Also, we're getting Indiana Jones and the
- 48:27Speaker 1: dial of hopefully better than the Crystal Skull in June. Yeah,
- 48:32Speaker 1: this was one where when I saw the trailer, I
- 48:35Speaker 1: was surprised at how much I liked the trailer considering
- 48:39Speaker 1: how much I hated Crystal Skull. Yeah. Yeah, it looks
- 48:43Speaker 1: like they're going to play a lot of nostalgia. But
- 48:45Speaker 1: also I really I'm looking forward to All of a sudden,
- 48:52Speaker 1: I can't remember the actress's name. Today is not a
- 48:55Speaker 1: good day for names for me. Um Well, I'm not
- 48:59Speaker 1: going to be any help when it comes to actor
- 49:00Speaker 1: names unless it's on your Taylor Joy. Is it on
- 49:04Speaker 1: your Taylor Joy? No? I wanted to say on your
- 49:06Speaker 1: Taylor Joy because it's Phoebe waller Bridge, which is another
- 49:08Speaker 1: three name name. Because she's in it, and if she
- 49:11Speaker 1: takes on the Indiana Jones mantle, I think she'd be brilliant.
- 49:14Speaker 1: So I I will end up watching Indiana Jones, even
- 49:20Speaker 1: if I feel hesitant about it. Yeah. Uh. Next up,
- 49:24Speaker 1: we're getting into July. We've got Insidious five. I have
- 49:28Speaker 1: only seen the I think the first maybe the first
- 49:31Speaker 1: two Insidious movies. I was not aware that they had
- 49:34Speaker 1: gotten up to five, so that was a surprise to me.
- 49:37Speaker 1: I haven't watched any I Also, I think I've only
- 49:40Speaker 1: watched one Mission Impossible movie, but we're getting another one
- 49:42Speaker 1: in July. Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning part one. Yeah, this
- 49:46Speaker 1: is the one where you're gonna see Tom Cruise drive
- 49:49Speaker 1: a motorcycle off the edge of a cliff because I
- 49:51Speaker 1: watched the behind the scenes on that and it was terrifying.
- 49:56Speaker 1: The Mission Impossible movies also come across to me as
- 49:59Speaker 1: like true spectacle movies, kind of like the Fast and
- 50:01Speaker 1: Furious ones, where when you look at the plots they
- 50:04Speaker 1: start to fall apart, especially since the plot of almost
- 50:07Speaker 1: every Mission Impossible movie spoiler alert if you haven't watched them.
- 50:10Speaker 1: Here's the plot to every single Mission Impossible movie. Hey,
- 50:14Speaker 1: we're the bad guys. Cool. I wonder if that will
- 50:17Speaker 1: be the plot to the Barbie movie coming out in
- 50:19Speaker 1: July as well. Probably not. I would be excited. I'd
- 50:23Speaker 1: be excited if that were it. Uh yeah, I don't
- 50:26Speaker 1: have much to say about this. We talked about the
- 50:28Speaker 1: teaser recently. The teaser was cute. I'm sure we'll get
- 50:31Speaker 1: a trailer before, you know, probably before like May or something,
- 50:35Speaker 1: and it'll show more about the movie. But yeah, that
- 50:39Speaker 1: so far, the vibe it's giving off is amusing. In
- 50:43Speaker 1: July we also get the Marvels, the next in the
- 50:46Speaker 1: m c U series as well, bring together Captain Marvel
- 50:51Speaker 1: and Ms Marvel, and uh that I'm really excited to
- 50:55Speaker 1: see what they do with that. I'm curious how the
- 50:58Speaker 1: Captain Marvel character will evolve. I felt like the Captain
- 51:02Speaker 1: Marvel has gotten a real bad rap, like an unfair
- 51:08Speaker 1: bad rap. So I'm wondering if they're going to um
- 51:11Speaker 1: give the character a little more relatability or something. We'll see.
- 51:15Speaker 1: I agree, there's there's a whole bunch of of ways
- 51:18Speaker 1: they could go with Captain Marvel. Um. We're also getting
- 51:23Speaker 1: three movies four three movies in August that I know.
- 51:27Speaker 1: I guess all of the movies in August. I don't
- 51:29Speaker 1: have a whole lot of information at on. The first
- 51:31Speaker 1: is The mag to the Trench. Yeah, Yeah, big Shark movie.
- 51:35Speaker 1: That's all you need to know. Teenage Mutant, Ninja, Turtles,
- 51:38Speaker 1: Mutant Mayhem, I know nothing about. I didn't even know
- 51:41Speaker 1: this movie was coming out until I just happened to
- 51:43Speaker 1: see it on the list. Same the Haunted Mansion, which
- 51:48Speaker 1: has Owen Wilson and Danny de Vito in it, and
- 51:53Speaker 1: Wow filmed in Atlanta because I met Danny DeVito stunt
- 51:57Speaker 1: stunt double in Las Vegas and he told me he
- 52:00Speaker 1: was coming down to take that movie. And another movie
- 52:03Speaker 1: that we don't have any info on right now, so
- 52:05Speaker 1: I'm not going to talk about it and Leslie in
- 52:07Speaker 1: August Blue Beetle, which uh, I am very very excited about.
- 52:12Speaker 1: I don't haven't seen anything other than one like teaser
- 52:15Speaker 1: preview image, but I'm still very excited about it, and
- 52:17Speaker 1: that at this point we're still getting it. Were excited,
- 52:21Speaker 1: but obviously both of us forgot about it because we
- 52:23Speaker 1: talked about Aquaman but not Blue Beetle when we jetted
- 52:26Speaker 1: about the flash. I think it is Blue Beetles coming
- 52:30Speaker 1: to HBO Max though, right, Yeah, I think you're right. Well,
- 52:33Speaker 1: see that's the question because Zaslov doesn't like that so much.
- 52:38Speaker 1: He's been pushing to move things more to a theatrical
- 52:41Speaker 1: release rather than a streaming release because it's harder to
- 52:46Speaker 1: get a return on your investment. So it may just
- 52:49Speaker 1: be streaming, So that might be. That might be why
- 52:52Speaker 1: we kind of slipped our minds. Look, if we can
- 52:55Speaker 1: come out to the theaters, I'm fine with it. It's
- 52:56Speaker 1: got an amazing cast. I'm I'm I'm I'm and forward
- 53:00Speaker 1: to it. I don't know, think about it. I'm not
- 53:01Speaker 1: looking forward to the Nun too. I haven't watched any
- 53:03Speaker 1: of the Nuns or any of the series around the Nuns.
- 53:06Speaker 1: It's like a whole universe, the whole Conjuring universe, right,
- 53:12Speaker 1: because that's that's part of the that's part of that
- 53:14Speaker 1: whole horror universe. Yeah, as as everyone knows, Ariel will
- 53:18Speaker 1: have none of that. I did watch I think Expendables too,
- 53:24Speaker 1: So maybe I could watch Expendables for it can be
- 53:26Speaker 1: like Star trek Uh, which comes out in September, Expendabs
- 53:30Speaker 1: for not Star trek Uh. Where like they said every
- 53:33Speaker 1: other one was good, I wouldn't say Expendables two was good,
- 53:36Speaker 1: but I could watch the fourth one and just do
- 53:38Speaker 1: like I think I watched most of the first one
- 53:42Speaker 1: in some of the second one, and and y'all, it
- 53:46Speaker 1: just reminds me of like watching a little kid play
- 53:49Speaker 1: with action figures and mix and match. So you've got
- 53:52Speaker 1: like g I. Joe and he Man and ThunderCats and
- 53:56Speaker 1: you put them all together and then you smash them
- 53:58Speaker 1: against each other until the always break. That's what the
- 54:01Speaker 1: Expendables movies are. And if that's your thing, awesome, You've
- 54:04Speaker 1: got another one coming out this year. If it's not
- 54:07Speaker 1: your thing, don't worry. You can watch Craven the Hunter
- 54:09Speaker 1: when it comes out in October. It is an expansion
- 54:12Speaker 1: of Sony Spider Verse films. Yeah, it's got to be
- 54:15Speaker 1: better than Morbous. It's got to be better than I
- 54:20Speaker 1: hope it's better than Morbi in time, I don't I
- 54:23Speaker 1: have I have never liked the character Craven the Hunter,
- 54:26Speaker 1: but to be fair, I also didn't collect those comics,
- 54:29Speaker 1: so I've only seen really bad depictions of this character,
- 54:33Speaker 1: and so that's why I kind of have a bias
- 54:37Speaker 1: against him. But hopefully the movie will be better. I
- 54:40Speaker 1: don't know. I haven't watched any of the Sony Spider
- 54:43Speaker 1: Man movies outside of the Spider Man stuff. I liked
- 54:46Speaker 1: the first Venom. I'm haven't watched anything else yet. I
- 54:49Speaker 1: need to watch a second Venom. Um. I need to
- 54:52Speaker 1: watch so there will be carnage or whatever it's called.
- 54:55Speaker 1: I haven't watched Morbous. I can't bring myself to do it.
- 54:57Speaker 1: I have no connection to Craven the Hunter. That's again.
- 55:00Speaker 1: That's that's also for me, a character that I haven't
- 55:03Speaker 1: really spent much time with. But um, we'll see how
- 55:06Speaker 1: it looks as it comes out, because they're still pushing
- 55:10Speaker 1: forward with it. We're also in October getting too scary
- 55:14Speaker 1: movies I will not see, even though I have seen
- 55:17Speaker 1: the first of both of these series, the Exorcist and
- 55:20Speaker 1: Saw X. Yeah, so the Exorcist, the It's it's an
- 55:25Speaker 1: unnamed film, or at least it was when we were
- 55:28Speaker 1: making this list. Maybe by now they've actually created saled
- 55:31Speaker 1: on a name for it that's called it's been called
- 55:34Speaker 1: the Unnamed Exorcist sequel, which is weird to not have
- 55:38Speaker 1: a name when you're in a year of it of
- 55:41Speaker 1: it actually coming out. But yeah, this is a sequel
- 55:44Speaker 1: to the original Exorcist film. And Ellen Burson, who played
- 55:47Speaker 1: the mom in the original Exorcist, will be reappearing in
- 55:51Speaker 1: this movie, so that's interesting. I like the first Exorcist movie,
- 55:58Speaker 1: and I really like the third X Sercist movie, and
- 56:02Speaker 1: I think the less said about the second one the better.
- 56:05Speaker 1: So maybe this will be a superior sequel. Maybe maybe.
- 56:09Speaker 1: And I I know people like the Saw movies. People
- 56:13Speaker 1: I love in respect like the Saw movies. I can't.
- 56:16Speaker 1: I can't. I I thought it was an interesting concept,
- 56:21Speaker 1: but it just it it revels so much in cruelty
- 56:25Speaker 1: that uh, even as a horror fan, it's not for
- 56:29Speaker 1: me either. Yeah. Um also, remember when Dune one came out. Well,
- 56:35Speaker 1: we're getting Dune Part two in November. It's not waiting
- 56:41Speaker 1: as long as you might have. Yeah, that's true. So
- 56:44Speaker 1: we we get so Dune Part two. Finally you get
- 56:47Speaker 1: to find out what happened after the first film ended
- 56:51Speaker 1: in a point where you thought, huh, things were just
- 56:54Speaker 1: starting to get going. Well, now we get to see
- 56:56Speaker 1: where they go now once you've lost all momentum. Yeah
- 57:02Speaker 1: that's true. Yes, Hey, you know what, James Cameron's gotta
- 57:05Speaker 1: keep it going for like six more Avatar movies, so
- 57:08Speaker 1: we'll see how that goes for him. Uh. Next up
- 57:12Speaker 1: in November, we also get The Hunger Games The Ballad
- 57:14Speaker 1: of Songbirds and Snakes. And I was like, didn't they
- 57:17Speaker 1: already tell all the Hunger Games stories already? And the
- 57:19Speaker 1: answer is yes, that they had to make more. Okay,
- 57:22Speaker 1: I thought they had finished as well. Um. We also
- 57:25Speaker 1: get a Trolls Topia movie in November. I know nothing
- 57:28Speaker 1: about that other than it's a Trolls movie. We get
- 57:31Speaker 1: Disney's Wish, which I saw like some concept art for,
- 57:35Speaker 1: but this is one of their next animated movies. I
- 57:38Speaker 1: gotta say, Uh, at least I have heard about Disney's Wish,
- 57:43Speaker 1: which is more than I can say for their strange
- 57:45Speaker 1: World's movie that I didn't know existed until it was
- 57:47Speaker 1: already bombing at the box office. We had talked about
- 57:50Speaker 1: it in an episode, Jonathan, I don't think so you're
- 57:55Speaker 1: gonna have to roll the tape we did? Okay, maybe
- 57:58Speaker 1: that was one of the weeks that uh I had
- 58:00Speaker 1: to cancel out. Anyhow, in December or finally to December.
- 58:06Speaker 1: You know, we might get other movies that surprise us
- 58:08Speaker 1: in here. Um, they'd have to start marketing soon though,
- 58:10Speaker 1: if they don't want to be like a flash Bang.
- 58:13Speaker 1: We get Wonka the musical. Timothy Shallow may Willy Wonka movie.
- 58:18Speaker 1: He's got some big shoes to fill. What. Yeah, it's
- 58:22Speaker 1: a prequel to Charlie in the Chocolate Factory. Is it
- 58:26Speaker 1: a prequel to Charlie with the Chocolate Factory or Willy
- 58:28Speaker 1: Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Either way, it's the same story.
- 58:31Speaker 1: It's just it's just a different title. It's slightly different
- 58:35Speaker 1: takes on the same story. But I don't know. I
- 58:38Speaker 1: I still am skeptical of this because I don't think
- 58:40Speaker 1: Wanka like I I think Wanka is a character who
- 58:43Speaker 1: benefits from mystery, and the more mystery you strip away
- 58:46Speaker 1: from him, the less special the character is. I you know,
- 58:49Speaker 1: I can't disagree there, but we haven't really seen much
- 58:52Speaker 1: about it, so I don't have anything to to go
- 58:54Speaker 1: off of. Also, we found out very recently that we're
- 58:57Speaker 1: getting a Ghostbuster's Afterlife. To um, it's not a big surprise.
- 59:01Speaker 1: I set up Ghostbusters Afterlife for that possibility, so and
- 59:05Speaker 1: it was cute. Yeah, And of course we get the
- 59:09Speaker 1: final d C EU film, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.
- 59:14Speaker 1: At the conclusion of that, then it's going to be
- 59:17Speaker 1: the James Gunn and what's his face? I always just
- 59:20Speaker 1: say James guy because that's the one I remember. But
- 59:23Speaker 1: the co leads of DC will have their new approach
- 59:27Speaker 1: to d C, except with the some exceptions like Joker
- 59:31Speaker 1: and the Batman and etcetera, etcetera, maybe Peacekeeper and maybe
- 59:35Speaker 1: Doom Patrol. Uh. In a Twitter James Gunn did say
- 59:38Speaker 1: that he has seen and he does like Doom Patrol.
- 59:41Speaker 1: Just he just said yes. Someone asked, uh doesn't mean
- 59:44Speaker 1: anything anywhere. Um, we are at an hour, Jonathan, do
- 59:48Speaker 1: you want to go through TV series real quick? Or
- 59:50Speaker 1: we're gonna go through the TV series super quick. So
- 59:55Speaker 1: here are some of the series that you can expect
- 59:57Speaker 1: to see uh in the year. We've got The Last

- 1:00:11Speaker 1: on Disney Plus. How would you take February, March, and Spring. Sure,
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: The Consultant comes out in February. I think that one
- 1:00:20Speaker 1: is on Amazon Prime. It's really it's really interesting looking.
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: It's like a scary video game company movie. Oddly, middal
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: are In season three comes out in March, and Secret
- 1:00:34Speaker 1: Invasion comes out in quote unquote Spring, both of those
- 1:00:39Speaker 1: on Disney Plus. Also some point in the first half
- 1:00:42Speaker 1: of the year, we're supposed to get What If Season
- 1:00:44Speaker 1: two on Disney Plus. The Witcher season three without Henry Cavil.
- 1:00:49Speaker 1: Friend of the Show comes out in the summer on Netflix.
- 1:00:52Speaker 1: Echo comes out on Disney Plus. That's about the the
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: deaf character that was introduced in UM which series was it?
- 1:01:03Speaker 1: It was Hawkeye, Thank You? Because I was like, oh,
- 1:01:07Speaker 1: there were so many and I can't remember where they
- 1:01:09Speaker 1: introduced her, but yeah, she gets her own series. This summer,
- 1:01:12Speaker 1: and Loki Season two also comes out this summer on
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: Disney Plus. Yes, and then in the fall we get
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: iron Heart, which is uh iron Man's successor we get
- 1:01:23Speaker 1: X Men ninety seven, which takes uh takes place at
- 1:01:27Speaker 1: the end of the X Men Original Cartoons series. Um,
- 1:01:31Speaker 1: and then we get in the Winter those are both
- 1:01:33Speaker 1: in fault. In winter, we get Agatha Coven of Chaos. UM.
- 1:01:37Speaker 1: I'm sure people will still be excited by then. Maybe
- 1:01:39Speaker 1: I'll be excited by them because we'll have some trailers.
- 1:01:42Speaker 1: And then we've got a whole bunch of to be
- 1:01:44Speaker 1: determined releases where we don't have an actual release date
- 1:01:48Speaker 1: yet or even a even a season where we can
- 1:01:52Speaker 1: expect it. That includes Peter Pan and Wendy, the live
- 1:01:55Speaker 1: action series that's coming to Disney plus gen v the
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: the spinoff of The Boys, which is coming to Amazon Prime,
- 1:02:03Speaker 1: uh Iwachu, which is an original animated series, Pan African
- 1:02:07Speaker 1: animated series coming to Disney Plus The Muppets Mayhem is
- 1:02:12Speaker 1: coming to Disney Plus. I'm still holding out for that
- 1:02:16Speaker 1: Ryan Johnson collaboration with the Muppets where we get a
- 1:02:18Speaker 1: Ben Wa Blanc Muppets movie. He says, He's interested. Um
- 1:02:23Speaker 1: stan Lee documentary also coming out on Disney Plus, The
- 1:02:27Speaker 1: Three Body Problem, which is based off a series of
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: sci fi novels that are said to be incredibly harrowing,
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: comes to Netflix, and Avatar The Last Airbender, another attempt
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: to bring it into live action, also is supposed to
- 1:02:40Speaker 1: come to Netflix sometime this year as a series. It
- 1:02:44Speaker 1: might be better. Some of the stuff coming out on
- 1:02:46Speaker 1: Netflix looks real good. They cut their giant, giant slate
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: of shows, so I kind of feel like the trailers
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: we've been getting lately look better than when they were
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: just blasting out so much content. Um, you didn't mention
- 1:03:01Speaker 1: Welcome to Chippendale's, which, while it's starting on Hulu, is
- 1:03:04Speaker 1: actually going to Disney plus, Jonathan, Um, I don't know
- 1:03:08Speaker 1: what what Welcome to Chippendales is. It is, Uh, well,
- 1:03:16Speaker 1: the story of Indian immigrants, so many Steve Banjari who
- 1:03:19Speaker 1: becomes the unlikely founder of a male review that becomes
- 1:03:22Speaker 1: a cultural phenomenon. It stars Kamal non Gianni and um
- 1:03:28Speaker 1: Dan Stevens and many other people. Uh So that's that's
- 1:03:34Speaker 1: the thing that I was like, why is this in
- 1:03:35Speaker 1: a Disney list? I saw somewhere because eventually it's coming
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: to Disney. Plus maybe it's like an understo Underdog start
- 1:03:43Speaker 1: your dream series. I don't know, Well I didn't. I
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: didn't include it because it wasn't it wasn't vertically in
- 1:03:50Speaker 1: my lineup. It was to the right, and that's why
- 1:03:53Speaker 1: I didn't see it. Uh yeah. So so it looks
- 1:03:56Speaker 1: like is going to be a huge year for geek
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: material no matter where your geek you know, loyalties lie.
- 1:04:04Speaker 1: Whether whether you're you're watching for the last scraps of
