• 2:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 2:12
  Speaker 6: Love.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: Crazy ain't the great. Nerdcore rap. Into a dual fate
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: and I just pulled a trap.
• 2:18
  Speaker 7: Third-rate rappers with a fourth-rate catalog destined for the shadow realm.
• 2:24
  Speaker 7: Flow is so insidious that I need an apprentice to
• 2:27
  Speaker 7: be master with the force. Peek the context in my sentence, right?
• 2:29
  Speaker 7: If the phantom like the Sith is, just don't ask
• 2:31
  Speaker 7: me what my pen is.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: Like they know that I'm the menace. Who you kidding? Bitch,
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: I'm getting the status. Sweet to drive, hot-headed, rhymes are
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: surely cold.
• 2:38
  Speaker 7: Tested, you can never toast my metal like the jury gold.
• 2:41
  Speaker 7: I ain't never mad when I push it to the max.
• 2:44
  Speaker 7: I got Chris riding with me about to turn this
• 2:46
  Speaker 7: bitch to Fury Road.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: Since animated, I'm the one the crew congratulated. Winners will

  Speaker 1: The Black Yards.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: And to remind you neither one of these are bad.
• 3:10
  Speaker 7: Check the stat, Louis, viewership is mad nice. All these
• 3:13
  Speaker 7: other shows don't seem to cut it. That's a bad slice.
• 3:16
  Speaker 7: Off the books with unscripted drills you can't write. Yeah,
• 3:36
  Speaker 7: this is the best part. Rhymes on Mandalorian.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Independence made a best score. Starting a war with these stars.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: You won't get far. This is the way you play.
• 3:44
  Speaker 7: A game of Life of Death Star. So far removed
• 3:47
  Speaker 7: from the drama. We don't know this one. But won't
• 3:49
  Speaker 7: hesitate to shed a light like a Patronus shine. With
• 3:52
  Speaker 7: mission managed troubles at a disadvantage. Must be something in
• 3:55
  Speaker 7: the water different. because you know it's warm. Where can
• 3:58
  Speaker 7: you find another show with such a fine cast? And
• 4:01
  Speaker 7: if you try to box them in, they playin' Minecraft.
• 4:03
  Speaker 7: And basically, the sun made up like you define math.
• 4:06
  Speaker 7: This crew's the best, and it figures like a line graph.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: I'm Mary Ben, like the words I do.
• 4:12
  Speaker 7: I'm level-headed, you don't have to have absurd IQs. They
• 4:15
  Speaker 7: know you can't relate because they're.
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: Nerds like you.
• 4:17
  Speaker 7: With their help, you'll see the world from a blurred-eye view.

  Speaker 1: It's only Tuesday.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: It's only fucking Tuesday.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: The fact that they go the way they go, it
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: amazes me. I don't understand. I do not understand.

  Speaker 9: Oh, but no, we're going to have to argue about
• 7:29
  Speaker 9: that Green Lantern's ending.
• 7:34
  Speaker 8: We're going to tastefully disagree.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Okay, we can tastefully disagree.
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: That's fine.
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: That'll work.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: We've done that before. So, but before we get to that,

• 13:35
  Speaker 4: Hold on.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: I feel the need. I feel the need. Before I
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: get all that. While I get that going, Justin. you've
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: worked on many projects. I've seen a lot of your work.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: One of them is the Donald Glover's or Chavez Gambino's
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: animated feature, Summer. What's it feel like when you start
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: seeing people churn out?
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: Slop.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: There's really no other way to put it. That's what
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: it is.
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: It's slop.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: After you put in so much work.
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: I mean, you know, I just think, like, it's hilarious
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: how everybody was tricked into, like, post more, post more,
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: post more. I mean, like, it's people fought for it, like,
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: consistently posting all the time for AI to be a thing.
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: Now we got bamboozled by the white man again, goddammit.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: It's like they never learn at.
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: The end of the day though but this is an
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: important conversation to have so I made sure to like
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: write it down this time so it won't come out
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: like SMH like it did the last time for me
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: okay so give me a second shout out to Reggie
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: for you know reminding me to write this down that's
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: my best friend okay I'll put it like this currently
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: black American culture is scammer, hustle culture. We don't respect
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: the arts. We look for the quick way to get
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: a buck. But this also includes American culture as well. Because,
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: you know, we live in a day and age where
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: everybody wants to be somebody. You know what I'm saying?
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: That's just an unfortunate fact of life is that, like,
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: not to be, like, so, like, vulgar about it, but
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: it's like everybody is not meant to be the dog that,
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: you know, the leader. Like, people have to be sheep.
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying? That's just the way, like,
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: life is, like, set up. You know, it's, like, people
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: have to be workers. But, you know, it's, like, nobody
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: wants to, like, work. Everybody wants to, like, hustle at something, especially, like,
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: if they see it, it can be, like, a fast route.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: But, you know, it's only a.
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: Matter of time before tech bros discover the legendary movie,
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: Like Mike, and figure out how to make sneakers to
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: let you play like LeBron. I mean, you see it's
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: happening in sports already, in track and field, fights and
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: things like that. It's just... nerds that were getting beat
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: up in school that hates people. You got to think
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: about it, bro. You got to think about it. You
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: got to think about it, right? This is the second
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: time nerds came twice to killing us, right? You got
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: to think about it. Oppenheimer was the first nerd, nigga,
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: that almost killed us all with the atomic bomb. And now,
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: Silicon Valley is a new nerd that's trying to wipe
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: us all out. And my whole thing is why is
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: people fighting for technology that's literally, they say, going to
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: kill us all by 2030. You know what I'm saying? Like,
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: it really makes no sense. And then it's like, I
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: never thought the boondocks was, like, so great about, like,
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: white people being the devil. And it's, like, literally, like,
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: all the tech bros and all those are all literally
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: white devils, literally. Even Trump this morning, I'm not, like,
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: a person who really pays attention to news like that,
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: but it's like, you know, I don't typically wake up
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: with my phone in my room But, you know, look,
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: it's like you're talking about, it's okay if they wipe
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: out San Diego and Los Angeles. Why those places specifically? Yes.
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: No wonder Hollywood is trying to move out of there.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: You know, I see consistently on my feed, you know, robots,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: you know, new AI and robots can do this and
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: they can do this and they're training. I'm like, no,
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: you're training a robot to fight. I'm not understanding. Have
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: you not seen The Matrix? Have you not seen any
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: Terminator films? Have you not seen any of these things?
• 17:39
  Speaker 8: We've seen the story before. We have told ourselves the
• 17:43
  Speaker 8: way that the story ends.
• 17:46
  Speaker 10: Yeah, but in the words of my West Indian mom,
• 17:49
  Speaker 10: those that don't hear must feel.
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: That part.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: Say that one more time.
• 17:57
  Speaker 10: Those that don't hear must feel.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Yo, Deuces, what's happening? Deuces, what up?
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: Yo, what's up, Deuce?
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: I have to tell you.
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: Hey, Deuce!
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: I look at AI as... Okay. Internet. When the internet
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: came about, they were super information highway. That was how
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: they pitched it. It's a way you can look up information.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: It's a way you can do this. Yes, you can.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: You can use it for all those good things. However...
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: On the flip side of that, there's the dark web
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: and the stuff that comes up and shows up and
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: the way people are abusing the hell out of it
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: for the darkest intentions. When you see shows such like
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: Catch a Predator, when Chris Hansen don't care about the
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: motives as to why he was looking for the notoriety,
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: but the fact that he was catching up all different predators,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: including an ex-security of a certain country's president who ended
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: up offing himself. It doesn't make sense. Make it make sense.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: I see what you're doing. And you want to cancel
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: the show because it's hitting too close to home, as
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: they say. I don't know. But You being an animator....
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Don't mind me, I'm looking at my headphones.
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: Oh, don't worry.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: You good, you good. Look, this is probably one of
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: the realest shows you're going to get. You being an animator,
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: do you find that... ai has any place in the
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: creative process.
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: Um i'll say like this is like and just be
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: all the way real with it it's like We're not
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: going to sit here and lie and act like everybody's
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: not using it. You know what I'm saying? It's just a, whatchamacallit,
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: to it right now, a bad stigma, as it should.
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: You know, because there's nothing wrong with AI that helps
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: you be productive. You know what I'm saying? Not things
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: like in the arts. You know, because the whole reason
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: of them putting AI in arts in general, because once
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: you kill the arts, then people that try to start
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: revolutions and things like that don't have something to spark them.
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: It's like, imagine if AI was around when Obama... was
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: going in the office and we would never had that
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: hope poster in general that inspired people. So that's literally
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: all it is, Fountain. That's literally all it is. So,
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: you know, but I will say though, it's like, since
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: it is a reality now and more than likely it's
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: not going away, it's like, well, I say to people, like,
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: if you're gonna use it, don't let it consume you.
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: If you must use it, right? Use it for small things.
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: You get what I'm saying? Use it for small things.
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: If you got to use it for your backgrounds, use
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: it for your backgrounds. You know what I'm saying? If
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: you need to use it for zoom out effects or
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: anything like that, use it for things like that. But
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: don't use it for your writing or things like that.
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: Say if you don't have somebody around and you need
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: to bounce off ideas or something like that. You know
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: what I'm saying? Use it. But don't let it be
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: your final product. But the main thing to it is
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: once you are able to get off your feet, and
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: start up a studio or something like that, or whatever
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: it is you got to do, you got, you got
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: to pay it forward and hire people. Once you like
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: try to take professional, you, uh, like, you know, that's
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: where laws should be at. Whereas like people on the
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: internet is one thing where you're doing things independently. But
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: if you, uh, you know, professional company, it should have laws, resolutions, um,
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: regulations against it where it shouldn't be used. I agree.
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: And I think that's, I think that's a good balance guys.
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: But it's funny though. It's like, First, it was the
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: NFTs and all that. And I just feel like it
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: was prepping people for something like this to come. And
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: it's just so crazy. It's just so crazy because as
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: long as I've been alive, I've never seen something that
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: was forced upon us. You know what I'm saying? We
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: got AI condoms, AI butt plugs, AI everything.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: And they are screwing people every which way.
• 22:28
  Speaker 11: And you're at the right time and the wrong time
• 22:31
  Speaker 11: at the same time.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 22:34
  Speaker 13: People who've never picked up a pen in their life
• 22:36
  Speaker 13: trying to teach courses on how to use it.
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: Hey, that's why I said, like, if you see people
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: that have, that's trying to tell you they do anime
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: and they got anime in their bio or anything else
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: besides their name, you can't trust them. Do I trust
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: Umar Johnson? No. Umar Johnson is probably fucking the white
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: girls we speak right now. Thank you.
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: Thank you. You mean conspiracy brother? My man.
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah, there's a white girl right now spitting in Umar
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: Johnson's butt as we speak.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: Definitely click worthy. You know what?
• 23:13
  Speaker 8: We just started.
• 23:14
  Speaker 11: No, I told y'all.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: No, no, no. You have.
• 23:24
  Speaker 12: I fucks with Justin right now.
• 23:29
  Speaker 13: We have collectively heard worse, and I told you, he
• 23:31
  Speaker 13: gonna say what he want and what he feel like
• 23:32
  Speaker 13: when he get in here, so don't act shy.
• 23:35
  Speaker 5: Listen, the only thing I can say is blame Philadelphia,
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: because there ain't no other artists and animators for me
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: to hang around. All the things I do is be
• 23:45
  Speaker 5: around musicians, so I see myself as a musician more
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: than like an actual artist. That's why, like, I started
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: booking my own interviews. I'm like, oh shit, I don't
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: realize I can do this. I always thought motherfuckers reach
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: out to you. I didn't realize when you got to
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: get something, I didn't realize it was something where it
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: was like, oh, let me get something off my chest
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: and then speak about something. That's why things like this,
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: I encourage more artists, stop being the fuck quiet.
• 24:10
  Speaker 11: Please.
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: Especially now. If nobody else is going to do it,
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: I'm going to do it. Hopefully, by me doing these
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: interview runs and talking about AI in this manner, hopefully
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: I can do speaking engagements and things like that. Because,
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: you know, I believe in the future I'll probably have
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: my own church and things like that. Because my ultimate thing,
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: I want to be a speaker. I want to be
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: a better speaker. That's my ultimate goal I want to be.
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: So it was pretty good when I was on Deuce
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: John and I accidentally told bro to suck my dick.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: And it's like, oh, wow.
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: Who would have thought that, like, me speaking would get attention,
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: you know?
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: So with Tafari, wait, what were you saying? So what
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: Tafari said, he's going to get it. I'm like, I
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: knew that because I knew you were from Philly. And
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I know people from Philly. And I'm like.
• 24:56
  Speaker 11: The filter is off. They don't have.
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: None. None.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: None.
• 25:01
  Speaker 12: My father's side of family are all from Philly. Trust
• 25:03
  Speaker 12: me when I tell you. When it's time to go,
• 25:06
  Speaker 12: it's time to go. I'm there for it.
• 25:08
  Speaker 11: Real quick.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: Like I work with a girl who's a traveler. She's
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: from Philly. I'm like, look, I there's. I want the
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: no filter. I want that. New Yorkers, Philadelphians, solid peoples.
• 25:24
  Speaker 14: That's it.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: I want the team to go ahead and ask some
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: of their questions that they want to ask. I want
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: to start. Lady Mandalore, you want to start?
• 25:41
  Speaker 12: You're the executive officer. You know what your job was.
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: I don't know that.
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: Anyway.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: Hi.
• 25:50
  Speaker 8: Hi, Justin.
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: Good.
• 25:54
  Speaker 8: I hate my job. That's irrelevant.
• 25:56
  Speaker 9: I wanted to ask you, a lot of people are,
• 26:03
  Speaker 9: like you said, they're on their grind.
• 26:04
  Speaker 8: They're trying to do their best. They've got a hustle
• 26:06
  Speaker 8: culture right now.
• 26:07
  Speaker 9: Um, even with, in my career, um, I work in
• 26:11
  Speaker 9: veterinary fields.
• 26:12
  Speaker 8: I have to do a side job. I have to
• 26:14
  Speaker 8: do a second hustle.
• 26:16
  Speaker 9: Doing my art portion for my podcast. Um, sometimes I,
• 26:21
  Speaker 9: I get into a rut. Um, I love it, but
• 26:25
  Speaker 9: I kind of treat it like a spouse is like,
• 26:28
  Speaker 9: I'm a love you forever. But I don't like you
• 26:32
  Speaker 9: right now. What do you do when you.
• 26:35
  Speaker 8: Get into those types of ruts? Or do you even
• 26:38
  Speaker 8: get into those types of ruts?
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: I don't get into ruts. Just to be honest with you,
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: because I never, just to be real with you, I
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: was never encouraged to draw in the first place my
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: whole life. Nobody ever paid me no mind when it
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: comes to it. My my bro, Michael, you know, the one,
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: you know, that was always, you know, drawing and doing
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: things like that. You pay him attention. Nobody really paid
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: attention to me. It wasn't until a family friend reached
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: out and asked me to do, I don't know, something
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: for some some card for her or whatever. And my
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: mom had just got me a laptop and Photoshop. And
• 27:18
  Speaker 5: I drew it, and she gave me $ 100. And I
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: was like, oh, you can make money at this? And
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: then that's when it was sparked. And then I ended
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: up a little bit after that. That's when I started
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: posting stuff online. And then that's how I ended up
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: coming across my first manager. And then he basically taught
• 27:34
  Speaker 5: me how to do things. So nobody believes me when
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: I say this. So it's like my first manager, he
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: managed strippers and other things like that. And, you know,
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: he ended up being my big bro for a long time.
• 27:48
  Speaker 5: He taught me a lot about life and shit like that.
• 27:50
  Speaker 5: And then, like, the way he taught me was, like,
• 27:53
  Speaker 5: if you want to get what you want, you got
• 27:56
  Speaker 5: to do things that they want, reel them in, and
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: then you can do what you want with them.
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: So it was like, oh, shit.
• 28:01
  Speaker 5: That's really my method to, like, how I do my art.
• 28:03
  Speaker 5: It's like, you know, I give people what they want,
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: and then once they become familiar with me, then I
• 28:08
  Speaker 5: can do what I want. But not in that type
• 28:11
  Speaker 5: of way.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: No, I got you.
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: So think of me as a fisherman. I put certain
• 28:15
  Speaker 5: bait on the line to get the results I want.
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it come out,
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: suck my dick.
• 28:24
  Speaker 12: And still it's all love.
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: Yo, this mirror view is like bothering me. I was like,
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: why am.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: I on my left foot?
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: How can I flip it?
• 28:35
  Speaker 12: I've been watching him just kind of get comfortable and
• 28:38
  Speaker 12: it just ain't working.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: We about to get him there. All right. Maybe.
• 28:46
  Speaker 12: Well, first of all, having a chance to chat with
• 28:48
  Speaker 12: you is an honor because I've seen your work and
• 28:50
  Speaker 12: I like the passion that's behind it.
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: I appreciate it.
• 28:53
  Speaker 12: Definitely shout out. My dad, Philadelphia born and bred, you know,
• 29:00
  Speaker 12: my grandmother, God rest her soul, on Oguns Avenue just
• 29:03
  Speaker 12: doing things. So, you know, that's that's that love that
• 29:06
  Speaker 12: you see right there. But I was curious when you
• 29:09
  Speaker 12: talked about your journey, do you have people in your
• 29:12
  Speaker 12: circle now? that you debate that still debate you about
• 29:17
  Speaker 12: how you feel about ai like try to justify using.
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: It no no it just it just literally just feel
• 29:26
  Speaker 5: i mean there's people that i'm pretty sure that i'm
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: gonna run it i'm running into you know i'm saying
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: uh but there are but it isn't people i just
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: don't talk with them because like they're delusional and then
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: besides like you can't be mad at somebody like trying
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: to make a way out. And if it was their
• 29:41
  Speaker 5: way out, then it's like, what is me yelling at
• 29:45
  Speaker 5: you going to do? If anything, it's going to make
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: you want to, like, want to do it even more
• 29:49
  Speaker 5: for some people. So, you know, you just got to
• 29:51
  Speaker 5: let some people just run their course. Once they get
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: shamed enough, they'll eventually stop or they'll get bored of it.
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: You got to think about it. It's just a new
• 29:57
  Speaker 5: wave right now. Everybody's just up on it. So eventually
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: they'll get tired of it and throw their toy away. True.
• 30:05
  Speaker 15: I feel that.
• 30:06
  Speaker 8: Hopefully not before it's too late.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: Right. Geek by Heart. Hello.
• 30:13
  Speaker 11: How you doing, Justin?
• 30:15
  Speaker 5: Hello.
• 30:16
  Speaker 11: Thank you.
• 30:17
  Speaker 16: First of all, before I even ask the question, shout
• 30:19
  Speaker 16: out to your Knicks animation. I liked it before I
• 30:22
  Speaker 16: knew who it was, and that was just fantastic. Freaking hilarious.
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: New York Knicks?
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 30:29
  Speaker 16: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: Oh, boy.
• 30:34
  Speaker 11: Yeah, that shit was hilarious.
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I wanted the Spurs to win because, like, I
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: had something, like, way better for that one. But I'm
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: still going to put it out. Thank you, Karen.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: Girl, put that face away.
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: The three natives over here.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: Put that face away, man. I'm telling you.
• 30:59
  Speaker 11: We waited 53 years. We will not put the face away.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: Sorry. No, no, no.
• 31:04
  Speaker 12: I ain't mad at it.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: It's just her face.
• 31:07
  Speaker 12: She was all the way back to the back wall.
• 31:09
  Speaker 17: You actually reminded me of that since you said that,
• 31:15
  Speaker 17: because there's a filmmaker in New York I'm supposed to
• 31:18
  Speaker 17: collab with, and I was actually going to do a
• 31:20
  Speaker 17: fake 30 for 30 and.
• 31:22
  Speaker 5: Then drop it at the beginning of the NBA season,
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: where basically the Knicks fans basically destroyed the world, but bro,
• 31:30
  Speaker 5: don't answer the phone.
• 31:32
  Speaker 11: We didn't know.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: We didn't know.
• 31:36
  Speaker 11: We didn't even destroy New York, so.
• 31:40
  Speaker 12: You had the opportunity to work with something magnificent, and
• 31:44
  Speaker 12: you can't pick up the damn phone.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: Nah, I know.
• 31:48
  Speaker 16: I actually have two questions, but you already answered my first,
• 31:51
  Speaker 16: and my first one was going to be, I was
• 31:53
  Speaker 16: going through your shorts, and I was about to say,
• 31:54
  Speaker 16: which one do you think represents your personality the most?
• 31:57
  Speaker 16: But now just even hearing you talk for 10 minutes,
• 31:59
  Speaker 16: I'm like, oh, no, this is all you. This is
• 32:01
  Speaker 16: definitely all you. So I was going to say, what
• 32:04
  Speaker 16: would be your dream job to animate?
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: My dream what?
• 32:08
  Speaker 11: Dream job to animate.
• 32:10
  Speaker 5: My dream job? To animate.
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: Like project, you mean, Eleni?
• 32:14
  Speaker 11: Yeah, that's a better way to say it.
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: I don't really care to. I just prefer to do
• 32:21
  Speaker 5: my own. But to do the dream thing, I would
• 32:25
  Speaker 5: want to do either something for DC and Marvel or
• 32:29
  Speaker 5: do something for... No, Shonen is a manga. What the
• 32:34
  Speaker 5: fuck am I talking about? I'd like to see.
• 32:37
  Speaker 12: You do something with Shonen Jump.
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: I want to put Kayla in Shonen Jump, but I
• 32:42
  Speaker 5: don't know if they accept Americans. I'm doing a 100-page
• 32:47
  Speaker 5: one-shot that I'm going to put out next year with Kayla.
• 32:50
  Speaker 5: I'm going to have two short films next year. Batman,
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: obviously I can't put that one in film festivals, but
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: Kayla I'm going to put in film festivals. I want
• 32:59
  Speaker 5: to work for DC and Marvel. I want to eventually
• 33:01
  Speaker 5: do live-action films. That's what I eventually want to do.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: Before we get to, uh, to fire and, and, uh, whoopty,
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: I want to show, since you mentioned Kayla, I want
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: to show that project real quick. I'm going to show
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: the Kayla project that you're working on. And, uh, and
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: here's a three minute and you can catch it on
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: YouTube as well, but here's the three minute, the Kayla,
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: the hunt for the Gemini orb. Episode one.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: Kayla.
• 33:32
  Speaker 8: Pay attention, girl.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: Damn.
• 33:34
  Speaker 8: Nia pipe down. Sergeant talking about nothing.
• 33:37
  Speaker 18: We believe this is the Gemini Zodiac Orb.
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: Ms.
• 33:41
  Speaker 18: Richards, you'll be on assignment. We need you to use
• 33:44
  Speaker 18: your Zodiac abilities to sense where the orb is being held.
• 33:48
  Speaker 18: Listen to Agent Nia as she guides you. We won't
• 33:50
  Speaker 18: be able to locate you if you go off path.
• 33:54
  Speaker 8: You can count on me to beat the shit out
• 33:56
  Speaker 8: of whoever has it.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: If you don't get your feet off the goddamn table,
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: I just cleaned it with the finest pine saw from
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: my mother's cabinet.
• 34:05
  Speaker 8: Your mother's cabinet, huh?
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: Ain't you like 40?
• 34:08
  Speaker 18: Kayla, infiltrate the facility. Locate the orb and get out.
• 34:12
  Speaker 5: Got it.
• 34:13
  Speaker 18: And for the sake of everyone in this room, please
• 34:18
  Speaker 18: move silently.
• 34:20
  Speaker 8: Don't worry. I'll be as silent as possible.
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: You're not supposed.
• 34:29
  Speaker 11: To be nosy.
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: Bitch, you going off track.
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: I'm not taking that long ass route.
• 34:35
  Speaker 9: When I can pull the orb this way, relax!
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: Ooh!
• 35:22
  Speaker 9: Nia, I think I found the Gemini holder.
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: Die.
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: Stay still. Where'd you go? Stop playing.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: No, not the.
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: Peace in the.
• 35:49
  Speaker 8: Can you please wrap this up?
• 35:51
  Speaker 5: I can't have a little.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: Fun! Love it, love it, love it.
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: It's Taylor. Can you please respond?
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: Oh my God, she's not answering, y'all.
• 36:43
  Speaker 5: What's going on?
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: Y'all, she's not answering.
• 36:47
  Speaker 9: Taylor, please.
• 36:56
  Speaker 8: Girl.
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: Wait. I wasn't ready.
• 37:08
  Speaker 19: Kayla.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: Kayla.
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: Find out if you're not.
• 37:21
  Speaker 8: I know you fucking.
• 37:22
  Speaker 16: Lied bro nah alright so let's stop fucking around when's
• 37:29
  Speaker 16: the next one.
• 37:30
  Speaker 5: Thank you I got five out if you want to
• 37:34
  Speaker 5: look at the next one you can I would say
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: go to two and then we can stop right there
• 37:38
  Speaker 5: if you want to.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: It's still on webtoons right.
• 37:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm not taking those all. That's the prototype series.
• 37:54
  Speaker 5: So it's like it's not the real series. So the
• 37:58
  Speaker 5: story behind Kayla. So originally, Charlemagne was supposed to pick
• 38:04
  Speaker 5: it up.
• 38:05
  Speaker 17: Right.
• 38:05
  Speaker 5: When I was in contact with him, he put me
• 38:07
  Speaker 5: in contact with his people. But his people like really
• 38:10
  Speaker 5: like lost, dropped the ball because it was like I
• 38:14
  Speaker 5: told him I want to put out like a weekly
• 38:16
  Speaker 5: manga or something like that.
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: It was like.
• 38:18
  Speaker 5: You know, these things take a pretty long time to do.
• 38:21
  Speaker 5: Are you sure you're going to be able to do it?
• 38:23
  Speaker 5: And then after that, that was the last time I
• 38:26
  Speaker 5: talked with his team. And then I put out chapter
• 38:29
  Speaker 5: one on Webtoons. And then after that, I got hit
• 38:33
  Speaker 5: up by Powerhouse from Netflix, NBC, ABC, Complex, and a
• 38:41
  Speaker 5: few other people. But the weird thing about it being
• 38:43
  Speaker 5: on those Zoom calls is, like, it just fills those. Like,
• 38:45
  Speaker 5: those Zoom calls are just for, like, We're just, we're
• 38:48
  Speaker 5: watching versus like actually helping. And that's been the, and
• 38:52
  Speaker 5: that's been the weird thing. Like on this journey of mine,
• 38:54
  Speaker 5: it's like the door has almost been open, but it
• 38:57
  Speaker 5: seemed like somebody always closed the door in my face
• 38:59
  Speaker 5: and everybody say, you got everything. I said, okay, I
• 39:01
  Speaker 5: got everything. And then where the fuck is people to
• 39:03
  Speaker 5: like help to, you know what I'm saying? To like
• 39:04
  Speaker 5: help out. Cause only so much you can do online.
• 39:07
  Speaker 5: And then recently, I've been in contact with Carl Jones.
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: He took the words out of my mouth.
• 39:14
  Speaker 5: He helped me out with a couple of things. You know,
• 39:17
  Speaker 5: that relationship came through him through Ace. But who knows? Like,
• 39:21
  Speaker 5: even with that, I feel as though, like, I just
• 39:24
  Speaker 5: don't know. I don't know. It's like everybody's like, it's like,
• 39:28
  Speaker 5: I don't fucking know. So. it's like, I used to
• 39:30
  Speaker 5: think that, like, maybe it's my personality, because, like, I
• 39:33
  Speaker 5: don't know. I don't know. So, I just feel as though, like,
• 39:37
  Speaker 5: my journey so far has literally just been closed off individuals.
• 39:41
  Speaker 5: But you'll be surprised who I've been in contact with.
• 39:43
  Speaker 5: Jason Lee, for whatever reason, and just a Just a
• 39:49
  Speaker 5: lot of people. It's been very discouraging, but I just
• 39:53
  Speaker 5: keep going. It's weird because I get more numbers than
• 39:58
  Speaker 5: ever before, but now I don't fucking know. It pisses
• 40:03
  Speaker 5: me off a lot of times when I think about it.
• 40:05
  Speaker 5: Niggas are just weird. I don't know. Maybe people want
• 40:07
  Speaker 5: to see me suffer like they did and then they'll
• 40:10
  Speaker 5: reach out. Who knows?
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: I will say that what you're saying is literally the
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: nature of the business. And I, and I get it.
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: I get it. We've seen it time and time again. Uh,
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: we're actually a part of a soon to launch streaming
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: service that would even would love to even, you know, show,
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: have that showcase on there. Uh, so I'm, I'm going
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: to talk, we're going to talk off screen. We're going
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: to talk off screen. Uh, but yeah, it's, it's blurred station. And, um,
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: This is stuff like, it's projects like that that we
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: are highlighting and giving people, especially our people, who have
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: the talent to showcase those type of things. Whoopty, you
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: got a question?
• 41:00
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 41:00
  Speaker 10: My question is simply, since we mentioned earlier that people
• 41:05
  Speaker 10: tend to gravitate toward AI because it is easier for
• 41:10
  Speaker 10: a lot of things, How would you encourage more people
• 41:13
  Speaker 10: to create art organically?
• 41:15
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 41:18
  Speaker 10: To leave the easy stuff away and move towards something
• 41:20
  Speaker 10: that might be a little bit harder, but it gives
• 41:22
  Speaker 10: you a better result.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 41:27
  Speaker 5: It's just up to, like, each individual. You know what
• 41:29
  Speaker 5: I'm saying? Everybody's not meant to do it. Like, I
• 41:31
  Speaker 5: don't like animating. It's, like, literally, like, okay, let's say, like,
• 41:34
  Speaker 5: for example, like, Kayla, right? That took about, like, a
• 41:36
  Speaker 5: month to do. Uh, or, or three weeks. I'm not
• 41:39
  Speaker 5: too sure. I move faster than like the average person. So, uh, uh,
• 41:44
  Speaker 5: so say like, um, a fight scene, right. That's what
• 41:47
  Speaker 5: it takes the longest to do. So it can take
• 41:49
  Speaker 5: me like, say like I can wake up 10 o'clock
• 41:51
  Speaker 5: in the morning and I can literally be sitting here
• 41:53
  Speaker 5: in this corner until five o'clock in the morning. And
• 41:56
  Speaker 5: that can be a everyday thing all week to, to
• 42:00
  Speaker 5: get something, um, like that done, you know? Like, there's
• 42:03
  Speaker 5: a fight scene in the Batman movie that took me
• 42:07
  Speaker 5: two months to do. So you can imagine that. So
• 42:09
  Speaker 5: it was just, like, really just grit, you know? So
• 42:12
  Speaker 5: it just depends on the person. Like, everybody's not meant
• 42:14
  Speaker 5: to do it. That's why things like that exist for
• 42:17
  Speaker 5: people that want to, like, feel as though they need
• 42:19
  Speaker 5: things like that because everybody can't do it. You got
• 42:21
  Speaker 5: to have the mental. And then plus, like, you know,
• 42:24
  Speaker 5: I'm in a stage where I'm balancing out my life.
• 42:27
  Speaker 5: So I've been out, like, a few nights in a row.
• 42:29
  Speaker 5: I force myself to go out. And then, like, in
• 42:32
  Speaker 5: my head, like, damn, if I go out tonight, then
• 42:35
  Speaker 5: it's like, damn, then it's like I'm going to sacrifice
• 42:37
  Speaker 5: time for something I should be doing. You know what
• 42:41
  Speaker 5: I'm saying? Like, I'm supposed to be creating character designs
• 42:43
  Speaker 5: for something, for something that might be happening or not. But,
• 42:51
  Speaker 5: you know, but, like, I'd rather spend outside living my
• 42:54
  Speaker 5: life versus, like, being in this corner all the time,
• 42:57
  Speaker 5: you know?
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for those... I just put it in there too far.
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: This is the link for Kayla. If you want to
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: check out more of it, put it up here. I
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: just had it checked. There we go. Here's a link
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: for that. If you want to go check it out,
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: it's over there. It's Kayla215. You definitely want to peep
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: that out and show your support. Subscribe, do all the
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: great things. Show your love for that because... Yeah, EB1 cosplay,
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: what's happening? Yeah, the animation was intense. If you follow Justin,
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: you have a very distinct style. It's like when you
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: watch Toei animation. You know it's Toei animation. You see
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: certain animators or certain animation studios. You know exactly who
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: that comes from, just from a certain style. You know
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: Carl Jones' style. You know Justin Richburg. You got your style.
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: Just seeing when you see it enough... and even now
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: as we're talking about the inclusion of how people are
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: trying to include AI in a lot of their animation,
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: you can, you're starting to pick up on like whether,
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: you know, I mentioned before the shows, like something had
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: happened and, uh, the next day, this animator already had
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: a whole animation thing built up and on the thing.
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: And I was like, you either have a team or
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: you're using AI. There's no way the turnaround should be
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: that great. It shouldn't be that fast. And you know,
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: And you start picking up on who's using it. Even now,
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: the past, what, two days, the latest thing AI has
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: been used on is comedians. It's been taking comedians' work
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: and then putting in and putting a whole chat that
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: they'll have an attractive woman on stage telling the joke.
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, this looks eerily odd. It doesn't look right.
• 44:57
  Speaker 8: Yeah, the delivery is off, the stance is off, the
• 45:00
  Speaker 8: audience is.
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: The audience is way off. It's way off.
• 45:04
  Speaker 13: Or you can dance as takeoff for some reason.
• 45:06
  Speaker 8: Jesus Christ.
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: People just jump on trends. They don't pay attention. Shout
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: out to Thick Queen Cosplay and her dude for actually
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: doing the takeoff challenge.
• 45:18
  Speaker 5: Isn't that crazy? A couple years ago, people have been
• 45:21
  Speaker 5: doing it themselves and now they're so lazy. They just
• 45:24
  Speaker 5: gotta do it. But my whole thing is, like, I
• 45:25
  Speaker 5: don't see nothing funny with it about it. And I
• 45:27
  Speaker 5: see people laughing in the.
• 45:29
  Speaker 4: Bruh!
• 45:30
  Speaker 5: Like.
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 45:30
  Speaker 5: I think... But, you know, that's another thing where it's, like,
• 45:33
  Speaker 5: you know, with, like, the guy that... What's his name?
• 45:37
  Speaker 5: Because he did say eventually they do want to sell
• 45:40
  Speaker 5: intelligence to you. Like, intelligence is a luxury. And I
• 45:43
  Speaker 5: see things like that. People just laughing at that. It's, like,
• 45:46
  Speaker 5: a sign of, like, intelligence going down. Mm-hmm.
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: I've seen on a certain streaming network... Streaming service.
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: That they have, it's a biblical story, I think it's
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: about Joseph. And it's all black cast, but it's no
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: one we know. And if you look at the trailer,
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: I'm like, this entire thing is AI. I said, and
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: they did like two different movies, and I said, there's
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: no way, but people will buy it. People will eat
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: it up. Our people will eat it up. Everybody's eating
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: it up. And I'm like, I'm not showing this any
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: kind of support whatsoever. I can't. I can't. I don't care.
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: Even the little short clips they do for the clock app,
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: you know, where they're like a superhero or something. They
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: put themselves in some kind of algorithm. And I'm like, no, no, stop.
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: Please stop. Too far ahead.
• 46:40
  Speaker 4: And that's me with the trends, too. I don't do
• 46:42
  Speaker 4: any of those.
• 46:43
  Speaker 13: Hey, which car did you own previously? I'm like, these
• 46:46
  Speaker 13: are all questions I got to fill out for my taxes.
• 46:49
  Speaker 13: I'm not doing these on the internet. How many states
• 46:52
  Speaker 13: on this list have you visited? Y'all don't know where
• 46:55
  Speaker 13: I live now, and I kind of like that. yeah
• 46:58
  Speaker 13: um but i just i wouldn't beat yourself up man
• 47:00
  Speaker 13: because like a lot of what you're explaining right now
• 47:02
  Speaker 13: like a lot of professionals are going through as well
• 47:04
  Speaker 13: like they either want to just take your ip and
• 47:06
  Speaker 13: pervert it they're ghosting people just to kind of like
• 47:08
  Speaker 13: tie them up in legal loopholes or if you're part
• 47:11
  Speaker 13: of a group they want to bring just one person
• 47:13
  Speaker 13: in they want you to abandon everybody else so like
• 47:15
  Speaker 13: what you're going through is not unfamiliar they're not trying
• 47:19
  Speaker 13: to I can't speak for the evils of the powers
• 47:22
  Speaker 13: that be, especially with this whole Skydance thing, but you
• 47:25
  Speaker 13: are not alone in the bullshit they got you dealing with. But,
• 47:30
  Speaker 13: I mean, at least with real art, especially yours, it
• 47:33
  Speaker 13: causes conversation between, you know, you've had the BET Awards
• 47:38
  Speaker 13: backstage with the Dice Game, Ghetto Heaven, which unfortunately keeps
• 47:43
  Speaker 13: getting updated, and then you're getting to do the wall
• 47:45
  Speaker 13: for the Breakfast Club, and then it feels like summer.
• 47:48
  Speaker 5: What.
• 47:49
  Speaker 13: Do you have a proudest piece of work or proudest
• 47:53
  Speaker 13: collaboration that you've done?
• 47:54
  Speaker 7: No.
• 47:54
  Speaker 5: I honestly don't care about them things. A lot of
• 47:59
  Speaker 5: them got weird outcomes to those. Really?
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 48:06
  Speaker 5: Charles Gambino's manager was the first time I started experiencing
• 48:10
  Speaker 5: getting ghosted by people. Yeah, we'll work more. Or it's like,
• 48:14
  Speaker 5: it's like that with every step of the way. So
• 48:16
  Speaker 5: it was like, I don't think about it. That's why
• 48:17
  Speaker 5: I was like, I just, I'm just waiting until I'm
• 48:20
  Speaker 5: able to do my stuff. And that's that, you know,
• 48:23
  Speaker 5: not to be like that way, but I just care
• 48:25
  Speaker 5: about just me at this point. You know what I'm saying?
• 48:27
  Speaker 5: Like that stuff I don't think about, but it's not,
• 48:31
  Speaker 5: but it's not like, but it's not like I, uh,
• 48:34
  Speaker 5: I'm putting a negative outlook out there about stuff. I
• 48:36
  Speaker 5: don't think negatively. It's just, you know, just not going
• 48:40
  Speaker 5: to lie. about something i mean i was i was
• 48:42
  Speaker 5: excited about the breakfast club no i was no i
• 48:44
  Speaker 5: was excited about the mcdonald's commercial because that was a
• 48:46
  Speaker 5: flex that was like yeah and it was like an
• 48:49
  Speaker 5: italian animation one but it's weird because like um for
• 48:53
  Speaker 5: the positive things i do nothing ever comes from it
• 48:55
  Speaker 5: but when i do negative things things come from it
• 48:59
  Speaker 5: because like uh preach young man uh so for example
• 49:03
  Speaker 5: um um let's Earlier this year, I missed out on
• 49:08
  Speaker 5: a wish-call-a-deal because I won't go into it, but in it, right,
• 49:12
  Speaker 5: it was a sneaker company. I can't say anything about
• 49:15
  Speaker 5: because of nda but i can say this so it's
• 49:17
  Speaker 5: like it reached out to me right and uh i
• 49:22
  Speaker 5: can't tell the collab biz i'm trying to keep myself
• 49:24
  Speaker 5: from from saying too.
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: Much you're good you're good yeah.
• 49:26
  Speaker 5: So uh so but the point outlook on it because
• 49:30
  Speaker 5: like for the whole past two years i've been trying
• 49:32
  Speaker 5: to pg-13 myself and uh And then one of the
• 49:37
  Speaker 5: white guys on the call, he was like, yeah, man,
• 49:39
  Speaker 5: we reached out to you, man, because we really loved
• 49:41
  Speaker 5: your John Morant animation. I said, wait a minute, you
• 49:43
  Speaker 5: reached out to me about the John Morant animation? He
• 49:45
  Speaker 5: was like, yeah. I said, you watched it all the
• 49:47
  Speaker 5: way through? He was like, yeah. And you still hit
• 49:49
  Speaker 5: me up? Yeah. I was like, okay. And I was like, man,
• 49:52
  Speaker 5: I'm going to go back and start doing what.
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: I was doing before.
• 49:57
  Speaker 8: So, all right. So I know that you.
• 49:58
  Speaker 5: He shot a monster in. He went up in the
• 50:01
  Speaker 5: air for... Alioub Duncan pulled out a gun and shot
• 50:04
  Speaker 5: the monster.
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember.
• 50:06
  Speaker 13: Because Ja couldn't stay out of trouble for two weeks
• 50:10
  Speaker 13: at a time.
• 50:11
  Speaker 4: What do you have, Kira?
• 50:14
  Speaker 9: I want to know what you're looking for that people
• 50:17
  Speaker 9: aren't giving you.
• 50:18
  Speaker 8: Is it just connection?
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: Is it support?
• 50:21
  Speaker 9: Do you ultimately just need some guidance as far as
• 50:26
  Speaker 9: how to run your own shit?
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 50:29
  Speaker 5: I don't know what it is. It's cause like I've
• 50:31
  Speaker 5: done everything. One thing, literally one thing is, is just
• 50:33
  Speaker 5: like literally connection. So it was like, FYI is like,
• 50:35
  Speaker 5: all right, maybe the next step is literally the movie, um,
• 50:39
  Speaker 5: the Batman movie. Um, because my, one of my friends, Bianca, uh,
• 50:43
  Speaker 5: she has said to me, um, I knew you was talented,
• 50:46
  Speaker 5: but I know you could, I know you, you, I
• 50:49
  Speaker 5: knew you do animation, but I know you was talented.
• 50:52
  Speaker 5: I'm like, what do you mean by that? And what,
• 50:54
  Speaker 5: and what, and what she meant by that is like, okay.
• 50:57
  Speaker 5: Cause we live in a clip culture. So when you
• 50:59
  Speaker 5: see something while you're scrolling, you look at it as
• 51:01
  Speaker 5: just something you're scrolling. But when you see something as
• 51:03
  Speaker 5: a full project, you take it more seriously. So that's
• 51:06
  Speaker 5: why I was like, all right, maybe after doing this,
• 51:10
  Speaker 5: it'll make it in people's minds. They'll be like, oh,
• 51:14
  Speaker 5: I see what he's doing versus me saying like, hey,
• 51:16
  Speaker 5: can we go into business together? Hey, can you help
• 51:21
  Speaker 5: me direct somebody to a wish call that you're on?
• 51:27
  Speaker 5: So I don't know.
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: It's and I'm glad you mentioned like the clip culture
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: because I keep I keep thinking back to to a
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: certain line. Andre three stacks even said he was like
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: synthesizer microwave me give me a drug so I can
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: make seven babies pump my breast up. Can you take
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: the fat out. Please make my life appear like there's
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: no such thing as bad luck. Just everybody wants it now.
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: Now now now. And it's like no there's there's there's
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: time there's passion there's there's patience when it comes to
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: like when you're doing your creations and like when you
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: start getting into the the clock app culture or the
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: ig culture and just doing like 30 second 90 second
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: clips of something instead of either watching something through or
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: checking out the person's other works you know because in
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: it when i look at people's animations like like you
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: have your like most of your page all your pages
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: like animation So I'm like, oh, what else did he do?
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: What else did he get? Oh, I like this. I'm
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: following him. Because I want to see what else he's got.
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: I want to see what other project is coming up.
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: Because now I'm just like looking at Kayla. It's just like, oh,
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: this is dope. I need to see more. You know
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying? Where's the feature at? Where's the short?
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: Or whatever it is that's coming out, I need to
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: see that. I don't want to see the microwave popcorn thing. Oh,
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: here's the latest thing that happened. And like, how did
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: you get this done so fast? You know, cause I'm
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: going to start raising my eyebrow, you know, all the,
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: all the red flags are going off. The red alarms
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: is going off. All that's happening. So, so I appreciate
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: when I see craft with craftsmanship like yours, you know,
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: or call Jones or, or, you know, in all the,
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: the other people out there who actually are putting in
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: the work, you know, and just looking for that, either
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: that outlet or that opportunity to, Or that constant connection,
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: you know, to keep that connection. Because what you just
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: described with everybody else you've worked with, that's like industry
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: relationship stuff. You know, let's work on this project and
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: it'll be done with that. Or let's work on this
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: project and then it'll be done with that. It's not
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: a continuous thing. And what you're saying by I want
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: to do my own thing, that's really normally the path
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: that a lot of animators end up taking. Like I did,
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: I did this for this person. I did this with it,
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: but I need to do, I want to do mine.
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: I want to do mine and tell my story or
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: of what, of something that I created and keep that moving.
• 54:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's definitely true.
• 54:05
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah.
• 54:05
  Speaker 5: To go back to the thing about like what keeps
• 54:07
  Speaker 5: me going, uh, which, uh, I know, I know it's
• 54:10
  Speaker 5: been over half. Obviously you said that just, it's popped
• 54:12
  Speaker 5: in my head. The reason why, the reason why it
• 54:14
  Speaker 5: keeps me going, because I want to be like the
• 54:16
  Speaker 5: biggest rich bird, because I have a cousin who, So
• 54:20
  Speaker 5: I got invited over to Jazzy Jeff's house two years
• 54:23
  Speaker 5: ago because he wanted me to do something for him. And,
• 54:27
  Speaker 5: you know, they hit me up because of my cousin.
• 54:31
  Speaker 5: They grew up with my cousin named Bernie Richford. So
• 54:33
  Speaker 5: Bernie Richford, he was the one that basically told, like,
• 54:36
  Speaker 5: Will Smith what to do on the Fresh Prince. And
• 54:38
  Speaker 5: he was his consultant, but he was just his friend.
• 54:41
  Speaker 5: And then he got hired on to write on the
• 54:42
  Speaker 5: Fresh Prince, then Martin, and then basically all the, like, basically, like,
• 54:46
  Speaker 5: the 90s and whatever, 2000s, 60s. black sitcoms named bernie
• 54:51
  Speaker 5: rich bird and then when i tried to uh reach
• 54:54
  Speaker 5: out to him his family wouldn't um let me get
• 54:57
  Speaker 5: in contact with him i've been in contact with his
• 54:59
  Speaker 5: um daughter for a little bit before i just said
• 55:01
  Speaker 5: um before i just said fuck it so just like
• 55:04
  Speaker 5: that's my motivation to actually be the biggest rich bird
• 55:06
  Speaker 5: so i mean like he'll eventually reach out to me
• 55:09
  Speaker 5: so that's really um he from west philly i i
• 55:12
  Speaker 5: just never um met him but it's like being over j.j.
• 55:14
  Speaker 5: jeff and them how j.j. jeff house and uh him explaining, like,
• 55:18
  Speaker 5: Bernie and, you know, a whole bunch of, like, other
• 55:20
  Speaker 5: stories about him and stuff like that. It's like, you know,
• 55:22
  Speaker 5: I want to be bigger than him.
• 55:26
  Speaker 8: Hmm.
• 55:28
  Speaker 5: But it makes sense why, like, you know, like, I'm
• 55:31
  Speaker 5: on this path when you think about it. Like, it
• 55:34
  Speaker 5: wasn't just random. It's like, if somebody in our family
• 55:37
  Speaker 5: does something that leads you to doing what you was doing,
• 55:40
  Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying? Mm-hmm. so it's kind of
• 55:43
  Speaker 5: interesting when you think about it that way because really
• 55:46
  Speaker 5: nobody in my family really they have like artistic talent
• 55:48
  Speaker 5: they probably draw something like that but nothing like like
• 55:51
  Speaker 5: that you know.
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: They pushed it like pushed through with something that to
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: its completion or something like that yeah so so now
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: you're working on Kayla and you want to make this
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: a feature you you want the you want the manga
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: done you said you said 100 page manga you said Yeah.
• 56:10
  Speaker 5: So next year's going to be, like, the last year.
• 56:11
  Speaker 5: I'm really going to be working on Kayla for real,
• 56:13
  Speaker 5: for real, because I'm just going to, like, start doing...
• 56:14
  Speaker 5: That don't mean I'm going to stop, but I'm just, like,
• 56:16
  Speaker 5: because I just don't want to, like, get into, like,
• 56:19
  Speaker 5: more of my story that I'm holding off. I don't
• 56:21
  Speaker 5: want to rewrite shit, you know what I mean? So
• 56:23
  Speaker 5: next year's going to be the last year, so it's, like,
• 56:24
  Speaker 5: I'm going to put the book out, and I'm going
• 56:27
  Speaker 5: to try to do, like, all the conventions type shit,
• 56:29
  Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying? I'm going to have a
• 56:30
  Speaker 5: bunch of things to sell. I'm going to have her
• 56:32
  Speaker 5: short film. I'm going to have the Batman thing, so
• 56:35
  Speaker 5: I'm going to have a lot of things going on,
• 56:36
  Speaker 5: so it makes sense for me to, like, move around.
• 56:38
  Speaker 5: Everybody keep on telling me, Justin, why don't you do
• 56:40
  Speaker 5: Comic Con? Why don't you do DreamCon? I don't have
• 56:43
  Speaker 5: nothing to present yet. Why am I just going to
• 56:46
  Speaker 5: go do something just to do something?
• 56:48
  Speaker 8: I have a question.
• 56:51
  Speaker 9: For me, Kayla would have been the thing. It feels
• 56:55
  Speaker 9: like you've had Kayla done for a minute.
• 56:58
  Speaker 8: Do you feel like.
• 56:59
  Speaker 5: That's... That's not my fault. You got to ask other people.
• 57:03
  Speaker 5: It ain't got nothing to do with me. You know,
• 57:05
  Speaker 5: the reason why the reason why I even put it
• 57:07
  Speaker 5: out in the first place, you know, because I see
• 57:09
  Speaker 5: like the struggle that people have with female characters, like
• 57:11
  Speaker 5: they make things too easy for them or whatever. So
• 57:15
  Speaker 5: it was like, you know, I'll just, you know, treat
• 57:16
  Speaker 5: it like a character, like a character, not like a female.
• 57:20
  Speaker 5: And then I made her light skin because like every
• 57:22
  Speaker 5: time I see like a black character, they always either
• 57:24
  Speaker 5: have dark skin or brown skin. Sometimes I regret not
• 57:28
  Speaker 5: making her darker or whatever. If I made her darker,
• 57:32
  Speaker 5: she probably would put on a lot quicker and relate
• 57:34
  Speaker 5: to people. I kind of understand why people keep characters
• 57:38
  Speaker 5: in brown skin and dark skin. It is what it is.
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: I will tell you from my experience, from what I've seen,
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: is that at conventions like BlurCon and DreamCon, where they're
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: predominantly black they pick up very quickly. It gets very
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: positive response because that's what they're looking for. They don't
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: even care if she's light-skinned, dark-skinned, brown-skinned. They don't care.
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: They see a black girl.
• 58:10
  Speaker 5: She melanated.
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: That's it. That's all they need to know. That's all
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: they really need to care about because they're just like,
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: a black girl that's kicking ass? Yeah. Give me more.
• 58:21
  Speaker 8: Honestly, that's what I've been wanting from stuff out of Marvel.
• 58:26
  Speaker 11: I'm tired of them.
• 58:27
  Speaker 9: doing soft, peppered bullshit with them. I understand if it's
• 58:35
  Speaker 9: like you trying to get Black Widow up against the Hulk,
• 58:37
  Speaker 9: which also she clearly wouldn't do something. But you know
• 58:42
  Speaker 9: what I mean? I want that knockdown, gritty, I knocked out,
• 58:46
  Speaker 9: I lost a tooth. Maybe I've got to cut against
• 58:49
  Speaker 9: the side of my face after doing all this fight.
• 58:51
  Speaker 9: But I want to see that. And I agree with you.
• 58:55
  Speaker 9: I think a lot of people think, oh, you're not
• 58:56
  Speaker 9: supposed to hit a girl or whatever no fuck that
• 59:00
  Speaker 9: nigga i'm i mean.
• 59:03
  Speaker 5: I mean if you think about it i kind of
• 59:05
  Speaker 5: feel though like that that wrestling girl show that.
• 59:08
  Speaker 4: Was on i was just about to like i feel like.
• 59:11
  Speaker 5: They stole they stole kate they took aspects of kayla
• 59:14
  Speaker 5: from me i mean i can literally see it in
• 59:16
  Speaker 5: the way like they drew her hair her attitude and
• 59:19
  Speaker 5: things like that but you know niggas like always fucking
• 59:21
  Speaker 5: steal but you know i mean it is what i
• 59:23
  Speaker 5: only got one season.
• 59:26
  Speaker 4: See, that's why I messaged you about that.
• 59:28
  Speaker 13: I wasn't going to say it, but I messaged you
• 59:30
  Speaker 13: when the trailer dropped.
• 59:30
  Speaker 5: I'm like, this looks just like the... Everybody steals from me, bro.
• 59:35
  Speaker 5: Even like I said, you want to be in these
• 59:36
  Speaker 5: meetings or things. I haven't been in meetings in a minute,
• 59:39
  Speaker 5: but every time I'm with somebody, it feels like they're
• 59:42
  Speaker 5: probing me to pick elements versus actually helping me. Maybe
• 59:46
  Speaker 5: whoever I was on the phone with maybe that inspired
• 59:55
  Speaker 5: Invisible Girl. Now she's invisible and not on the air
• 59:58
  Speaker 5: no more. But to get back to the thing about
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 5: Marvel and DC. Because the issue is with a lot
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 5: of the... How you doing, random black man with a
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 5: gray top?
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 3: The deacon has arrived.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 5: That nigga popped in like, here comes a new challenger.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 5: I was getting ready to say, suck my H up again.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 13: But no, I think that show being on TV proves
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 13: that there is a space for characters like Kayla. Like, literally,
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 13: all you got to do is throw in there and
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 13: let them fight. And sometimes they're going to win. Sometimes
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 13: they're going to lose.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 5: And I'm like, what white woman I got to take
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 5: down to work at one of these networks? I got
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 5: to impregnate. Let me know. But no, but go back
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 5: to the thing.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: May not be a white woman. It might be the
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: old white man. Yeah.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 5: Or Tranny. Who knows? But let me say this, though.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 5: So when you're talking about what DC and Marvel, right,
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 5: the reason why, like, they keep on giving us, like,
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 5: this different version of characters already exists because a lot
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 5: of times with black people, we like cosigns, right? So
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 5: it's like, that's the reason why we're independent black creators
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 5: so hard for them to get on because we don't
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 5: have cosigns, right? You know, it's like, instead of them
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 5: giving us, like, new characters, like, let's just give y'all, like,
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 5: a black Hispanic version of Spider-Man. Them niggas will be
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 5: happy with that. So, you know, somebody, like, created, like,
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 5: something similar to that that's independent. Man, get that shit
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 5: the fuck out of here. They ain't Marvel niggas. Unless
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 5: they get a cosign. Like, people with the username anime.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 4: Like.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 5: Like.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: Because we know so many black creatives in the indie
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: comic space. like Midnight Comics, you know, or Ray Comics,
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: or like Pepper Piper, Monster Hunter, and, you know, all these,
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: speaking of black girls, you know, that kick ass, you know,
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: so when we see, even with Midnight Comics, when they
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: have the gray, black girl, Afropuff, kick ass, you know,
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: so it's, the need is most definitely there. I think
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: what it is, is the avenues of, always get cut
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: off like you mentioned invincible fight girl and that's the
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: same thing we we've all watched that show and even
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: before i remember him saying it even then he said
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: it looks vaguely like kayla you know so you never
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: know you never know it could be inspiration could be
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: stolen whatever the case may be it's all about the
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: avenues whatever happened that's why i said oh yeah you
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: fit in our camp because what we're doing over at
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: blur station is like that's your creation that's your ip
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: We just want to show it. We don't want to
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: own it. That's all you. Which is something that a
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: lot of animators or a lot of creators, whether it's
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: in comics, and we see this all the time, this
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: is not an old thing, is that in comics, yeah,
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: this person created Miguel, this person created Spider-Man, this person
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: created Venom, but once they leave, that character's not going
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: with them. You know, you see it even with Todd McFarlane.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: When he created Venom, he knew he couldn't... When he
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: left Marvel, Venom wasn't coming with him. But he went to...
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: And when he went and helped create Image and then
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: created Spawn, that's why Spawn's there. You want to see
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: Spawn somewhere else? You got to check with him. You know,
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: that's his baby. He owns it. That's his. He's locked in.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: You know, so... it's more, it's more, it's, it's about
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: the ownership. It's about the avenues that's being traveled and
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: the outlets that they're putting at, you know, in, I
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: think a lot of people that's in your position who
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: are coming out or been out for a while, they're starting,
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: you know, and been doing this, been doing this whole
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: thing for a while. They don't, they don't, they don't
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: see it right away. They don't see like, man, I
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: want this. I want this. But I can't seem to
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: get right past that hurdle. It's just that one– it's
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: always that one hurdle or that one trip up that says, hey,
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: we like it, but there's, like, a but to it. Like,
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: we like it, but we want it, but we can
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: show it, but– or they say, oh, we'd love to
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: take it, and then they want you to change something.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 5: Mm-hmm.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: You know, just like you were mentioning with, like, I
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: don't want to go back and have to rewrite something
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: and do something all over again.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 11: Can we put in a white hero just to make
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 11: the white.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 4: People feel comfortable?
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah. You know, I can't tell you how many times
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: we've seen that trope where they say, yeah, you know,
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: this is great. Kayla has this and this and this.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: And it was like, but maybe we should give her
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: a white roommate or love interest or something. And it's like,
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: we're looking for collusion in collaboration with the napkins.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: It doesn't read well. With whom? Because it don't read
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: well with you.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 8: We need to get a hold of the mainstream audience.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 5: The fuck is that?
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: We want to make it seem less... What's the word
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: here we're looking, Dave? Yes, urban. We want to make
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: it look more mainstream, less urban. We love the flavor.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: Don't y'all use the word flavor still?
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 13: I would say don't be afraid to even go after
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 13: getting it funded yourself because that's what a lot of
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 13: indie animation people are doing right now.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 4: They're just.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 13: they're just putting it out there and just saying, if
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 13: y'all like it, back it, because almost everybody's got a
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 13: rejection story attached to it, and even the ones that
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 13: did succeed had a lot of hell going on behind
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 13: the background from the network.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: Exactly. And Kickstarter has proven that a lot of people,
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: if they will back it, in mere hours.
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 5: Good segment, because since we own the Kickstarter thing, so
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 5: here we go to the Batman Beyond story. So basically, um,
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 5: what led to me like, uh, so we'll go to, um, um,
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 5: with my last like teams was, um, basically I got
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 5: all my money stolen. So, uh, so it was like,
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 5: we made what, like a hundred grand and like one year, uh,
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 5: together working together. And then like some of the stuff
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 5: just went left and then like all my money got taken.
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 5: So I ended up having to leave, leave New York
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 5: and then, and then move and then move back home.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 5: Been back home for three years now. And, uh, It
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 5: caused a lot of stress upon me.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: Naturally so.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 5: About needing that last $ 30, 000 that I needed. I got
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 5: some of that. I got $ 14, 000 out of it, but
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 5: as it's getting strung along, what the fuck is that
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 5: for a whole year? I stopped doing Caleb for a
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 5: whole year, and then I saw that Warner Brothers had
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 5: canceled the Batman Beyond movie, and I was like, In
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 5: my head, like, you know what, maybe that's something I
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 5: can latch on to because I don't feel like doing
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 5: this character anymore. So me and my brother Michael ended
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 5: up writing the Batman Beyond movie and things like that.
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 5: And then, you know, I had half of it done,
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 5: some of it done already before the Kickstarter. I wasn't
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 5: going to do a Kickstarter originally. It was just something
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 5: I just wanted to do. And then new management that
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 5: was coming in that, you know, wanted to work with me. But,
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 5: you know, it's kind of hard to trust people from Miami,
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 5: you know. So originally my Kickstarter was never gonna be
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 5: about the money It's about like, you know, like I
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 5: don't sell things So it's my first thing like really
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 5: selling for real for real. All I can just want
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 5: was $ 3, 000 If I just had three enemies with me,
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 5: I'm Gucci I can like really like do the rest
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 5: by myself after just having to doing key parts and
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 5: And then, you know, with the management and the old
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 5: management still, like, in contact with them and saying, oh, no,
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 5: you've done too much. You should be asked for that
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 5: little bit of money. You know what I'm trying to explain, niggas? Like, no,
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 5: it's not about the money. It's about, like, getting people, like, to, like, understand, like,
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 5: if you want something, then you got to do this
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 5: or whatever, right? And then you just come up saying, oh,
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 5: what about $ 25, 000? No, I don't feel comfortable with that.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 5: All right, I'll do $ 15, 000, right? And then as soon
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 5: as I put the Kickstarter out, guess what happened the
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 5: first day of the Kickstarter? Try to guess what happened
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 5: the first day of the Kickstarter. What did I end
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 5: up getting?
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: $ 15, 000.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 5: No, I got my, I got my original goal that
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 5: I wanted 3000. And then it didn't go beyond that
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 5: at all. So like my kicks are in the failing
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 5: by listening to dumb ass niggas. And then the main one,
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 5: and then the main one behind that, uh, and then one,
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 5: and then one of them, it was a bunch of
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 5: managers that was trying to court me at the time.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 5: And then one of them would claim he was rich
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 5: and then say like, he'll fund the rest of his
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 5: other friends and do it. My only put in like
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 5: $ 700 or something like that. So end up like doing it. So, uh,
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 5: My brother ended up writing them, like, what, 30 minutes
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 5: worth of pages or whatever. So we're just going to
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 5: cut it in half and just do 15 so it'll
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 5: be manageable. But I said, no, fuck that. I'll just
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 5: do the whole thing by myself. When I told you
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 5: I was going through all the stress stuff while I
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 5: was going through, I ended up having a heart attack
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 5: last year. I saw that. I was bleeding out my
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 5: mouth profusely. I woke up one morning. I was trying
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 5: to figure out why my throat pals feel like super
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 5: wet pals. And then when I went into the mirror,
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 5: opened up my mouth, it was all black. And then
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 5: my mom had to rush me to the hospital. I
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 5: was like losing so much blood. I was going in
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 5: and out of consciousness. And then they like because like
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 5: I got like a toxic ball, a toxic cancer ball
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 5: taken out of my mouth when I was at Jefferson Hospital.
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 5: And they didn't stitch it up right. And that was
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 5: causing me to lose the blood. And, you know, I was, like,
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 5: in there all day until I finally got taken up.
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 5: And then, you know, through the cause of the stress
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 5: or whatever, I ended up developing, like, I could hear
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 5: my heartbeat sound in my ear. So, and I'm still
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 5: continuing to this day. And then, like, just imagine all
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 5: last year, as soon as you lay down. You can
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 5: feel your whole body pulsing. And then one of my
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 5: exes at the time that tried to come back around
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 5: after having like a whole baby and then trying to
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 5: come make me a stepfather and shit. She gave me
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 5: a hug. She gave me a hug. She gave me
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 5: a hug. You know what I'm saying? Oh, your heartbeat
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 5: is fast. You must miss me. I said, what the
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 5: fuck are you talking about? And then I ended up
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 5: going to the hospital. I ended up going to the hospital.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 5: And then the next day after that, like I started
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 5: feeling my heart. I could feel my little heartbeat for
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 5: a whole year. So all last year, I thought I
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 5: was going to die.
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: So I hear now why you said I'll take a
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: step back from certain stuff. I'll chill.
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so with the money, it's my only money. I
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 5: just don't care no more. They can suck a dick. See,
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 5: I said it again. But no, on the real though.
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: I swear you got one in for every half hour.
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I said you can't stress over shit. That stressful
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 5: Even the gray hairs on here. I started getting gray
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 5: hairs from the stress and things like that. I was
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 5: embarrassed about the gray hairs. I'd be butt naked on
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 5: the face all day. I gained a hell of weight
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 5: and things like that. You can imagine a fat, tall,
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 5: period nigga with no facial hair. It looks crazy. My
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 5: hair was longer than this. I combed out my locks.
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 5: I had, like, for two years, I was just all
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 5: over the place. But, no, it was hell all last year.
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 5: But now the only thing left over is, like, a
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 5: loud heartbeat sound in my ears. So I'm always near
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 5: my noise machine. I always got the headphones in to
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 5: drown out the noise. So, yeah.
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 11: But.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 5: Anyway, like, fuck all that about me. Let's get into
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 5: this movie preview.
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 4: I mean, he.
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 3: Made the segue, I guess.
• 1:11:50

• 1:11:51
  Speaker 4: There's a sign right there. There we go.
• 1:11:54

  Speaker 1: Oh, Tyler Perry?
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 8: Maybe.
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: Maybe.
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 8: I mean, nope, stop.
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 4: Oh, fine.
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 12: Fine.
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 5: We'll leave it alone.
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 13: So he sues me next.
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: So season one, episode eight of Lanterns premiered Sunday. title
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: was Dirt and Stars and I feel like they stuck
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: the landing for several things this is a story that
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: was basically it had almost a full circle moment at
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: least between the relationship between John and Hal and then
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: John and the Halogram and it shows the story of
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: John Stewart is not done it's definitely not done He
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: will be in Superman Manor tomorrow, next year. Season 2
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: of Lanterns has been greenlit. They are in pre-production right now.
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 12: Until they change their mind.
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 3: Who said that?
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 1: No, it's already been announced. It's already been announced.
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 13: I trust nothing with everyone being under one... They didn't
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 13: already kick the Animaniacs out of the Water Tower. The
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 13: Animaniacs have been evicted, y'all. The Water Tower already got
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 13: the right one.
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 4: They did.
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: That was the one that I double-checked. I'm like, yeah, they...
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: They're not crazy about letting gun go anytime soon.
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 4: They're not.
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they said they're not making any changes. Sorry to
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: the Snyder maniacs out there. I meant that in the
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: most facetious way possible. Sarcastic way possible.
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 13: We already get an independent project because they kicked Terry
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 13: McGinnis to the curb.
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's fine. So, A lot of people were expecting,
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: I guess, John Stewart in the suit. They were expecting
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: the whole oath and everything. I'm going to shut that
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: oath business down. Because, number one, the only reason why
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: people are so enamored with Hal's oath is because Hal,
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: at said time, comics and now, that was the oath
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: that was most recognized by That's just it. Here's the thing.
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: That oath also just inspired other lanterns that came after
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: him in other sectors because they knew about him. But
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 1: their oaths are not the same. All of their oaths.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: This is why I'm glad that I forgot it was
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: either you, Chris, or somebody else that posted the page
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 1: that everybody needs to see of multiple lanterns.
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 4: Giving, thank you.
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: Different oaths. Because so many new types, and I say
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: new types, when they think they watch a television show
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: and all of a sudden you're an expert, no, you
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 1: need to go back and read the lore. I'm sorry,
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 1: if you are a Green Lantern fan. That requires reading.
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: There's literally a Green Lantern whose speech does not, he
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: does not have speech. He requires, he speaks through sound.
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: And it It has a bell on its chest. Reverend,
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: you're right about reading. I saw a grown man struggle
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: reading from a Waffle House menu. Reading is fundamental right now.
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 12: He probably starved to death, didn't he?
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 1: They have pictures. I thought he was stuttering. This dude
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: couldn't pronounce W-A-F in a single word. I was like, boy,
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: you was one of them left behind children, weren't you? Mm-mm-mm-mm.
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 1: So we are opening up. My only hang up with
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: this episode is that girl would have never got that money.
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: There was no reason for her to get that money.
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 11: I don't understand why you did that. I'm still sorry.
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 11: I didn't understand that. He did it because he's a hero.
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 4: I would have fed her.
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 11: I don't agree.
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 8: No, fuck that hoe and everything.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: That she did to him.
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 8: But he is, John is supposed to be the best
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 8: of us.
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 1: To add on what Kira said, you had a portal
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: go into a dead planet where the rain made you
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: kill yourself.
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 11: John was not a pushover either.
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 16: Now, I would take that if they wrote his character
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 16: to be a pushover.
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 11: They did not. They wrote his character to be an actual.
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 16: Real person that we can all relate to and not
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 16: just because he's a Black woman. So, I really thought
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 16: that she should have just been like, yeah, but Justin
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 16: be like, yes, indeed I want that one.
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 11: So, here's the thing though.
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 8: If you take out.
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 9: All of the history, all of the racism, the bigotry,
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 9: the redlining, everything that white people have been doing and
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 9: continue to do to us. That is still a child
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 9: whose parents were taken from them unjustly, without cause. She
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 9: doesn't have anybody. That child needs to be made whole.
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 2: I get that.
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 9: That but this goes into John's character he is supposed
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 9: to I don't fucking agree with that bitch fuck that
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 9: hoe kick her to the fucking curb drown her in
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 9: the lake I don't care about her because John is
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 9: who he is I don't like her I promise I
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 9: swear to god I'd spit on her forehead if her
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 9: hair was on fire.
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 8: I don't think that she.
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 9: She is supposed to be the thing that tests your humanity,
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 9: your empathy, your sympathy. She didn't do anything to John
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 9: except ask to be made whole. That is all that
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 9: she asked from him.
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: She was off the mark when she turned around like,
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: oh no, we're not racist here. And she was like,
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 1: but then she says reparations. I said, you know what?
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 1: I ain't got no time for you.
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 10: I'm not.
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 4: It would have been an empty bag with an I.O.U.
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 1: In it or.
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 13: A My Bad written on the napkin from the night.
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: Put a quarter in your ass because you played yourself.
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 13: I'm sorry your town has Stockholm Syndrome with the alien
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 13: keeping them hostage and she decided to blow y'all up.
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 13: She didn't even say she lost her parents. She just
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 13: said all for Rushville. I'm like, I don't see how
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 13: giving you money heals all of them because you're making
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 13: this sound like I had to earn all this money.
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 13: I'm supposed to give all that back for blackmail? That
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 13: clearly is worthless now. I would have fed her to Earl.
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 4: That's just me.
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 1: Again, you have a flesh-eating plant, a portal that no
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 1: one can find. Your problem would have been solved in
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 1: five minutes. That's all I'm saying. I need $ 315, 000. I
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 1: got a place I can drop you off. Thank you.
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: You can take this $ 20 in tips and figure it out.
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 13: Ezell from Friday needed $ 20.
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 1: That's it.
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 8: My shit was just give her Hal's house. Get that
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 8: bitch out of Rushville. It's a free house. And let
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 8: her work for the rest of her life doing whatever
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 8: she got to do.
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 1: She wouldn't have took it. She wouldn't have took it.
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 1: She was so stuck because I didn't understand. That's not
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 1: my problem. The only thing is I didn't understand that
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 1: black man. I mean, not to that effect. for it
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 1: to be understood, that blackmail angle, but I'm like, that
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 1: should not be enough. Especially as deep as John had
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 1: gotten into the entire investigation. It was like, oh, Kerry
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 1: did it? So let me tell you something, Kerry. I
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: broke his nose. He pissed me off. I punched him.
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 1: I punched him.
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 5: I left.
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 4: Well, what'd you have, Justin?
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 5: I said my whole issue with, like, episode seven, eight,
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 5: you know, I feel, though, with her, I feel, though,
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 5: she'll just fill her because she really didn't, like, make
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 5: no sense to be in there. Oh, I thought with
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 5: the sorry, when I saw with the sorry thing, I
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 5: thought it was going to be, like, a fake out.
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 5: I didn't know who was actually going to give her
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 5: the money. That's what I thought. At least not that much.
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 5: Not all of it. I didn't like the way they, like,
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 5: how they, like, punked Guy Gardner to make him look
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 5: like he was, like, he's afraid of him. I didn't
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 5: like how, like, They did that cartoony-ass punch to Sinestro
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 5: when Sinestro was holding him, the fake howl.
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 1: Oh, the great arm?
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah. And it just made, like, made... And then
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 5: I just didn't like the fact that people were saying, like, oh,
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 5: the Manhunters are this amazing threat. And it's like, we
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 5: didn't see it at all. They're just regular people just
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 5: walking around. I just didn't get it.
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 6: Um.
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 5: I'm just happy that Earl was at the end with
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 5: the family. It was what's up. I just didn't understand
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 5: people saying where's the big ending. You can't really satisfy
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 5: comic book people that watch these type of things. We
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 5: should know what type of show it's going to be. Plus,
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 5: at least it was a show that with the finale
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 5: didn't crash, didn't fall on his face. It was a nice,
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 5: satisfying ending, but I wish that with the Guy Gardner part, Like,
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 5: at least they would, like, fought a little bit to
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 5: show what makes sense for, like, Guy Gardner to step away.
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 5: You know? Yeah.
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, I like, don't get me, I love Nathan
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 1: Fillion and a lot of stuff that he does. And
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 1: him playing Guy Gardner is actually a good fit. But
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 1: John Punkening, personally, I thought that shit was funny. Like,
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: when he says, lose the gold tooth, you look fucking ridiculous.
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, well, he's not wrong. uh but it's
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 1: guy it's guy it's he's supposed the haircut the gold
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 1: tooth he's supposed to look ridiculous you know but i
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 1: think he liked but i think he liked the deal
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 1: that john gave him he said look earth is the
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 1: only thing you don't got to worry about and there's
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 1: no and at the same time he the what he
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 1: told the guardians was like search their hearts i'm like
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 1: oh shit john has no problem offing people.
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 13: That's also blackmail. That's coded blackmail. Basically, Manhunters, I know
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 13: what y'all did. At least one of y'all knows what
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 13: I did, and you don't want the.
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 4: Rest of them.
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 13: I think part of the reason Guy backed off was
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 13: because Guy also has some blackmail because I'm not supposed
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 13: to have this ring in the first place.
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 1: You were the reason it's down here. Right.
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 13: I'm like, you was ready to fight Superman in two
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 13: seconds over a secret harem, but Jon Stewart is where
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 13: you're back. The man with a dead ring is who
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 13: you're ready to back down from, but I get it
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 13: to an extent.
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 1: And the interaction was pretty good as far as I've seen.
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 1: Their interaction was good because when he says you're their
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 1: errand boy, he's like, no, I'm not. He's like, no, yes,
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 1: you are. And he's right. When you've seen from episode,
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 1: which I'm running this entire show back, but when he's
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 1: telling him all the stuff that's going on, like the
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 1: guardians always want you to do something. They want you
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 1: to do this, do this, do this, do this, do this,
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 1: just so you can get this ring. And it's like, dude,
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 1: I've been training since five, all my life, really, all
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 1: my childhood, all the pain, all the anguish, all the
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 1: loneliness I've had to deal with just to get this.
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 1: And I've seen what it done to the predecessor or
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 1: the person who took the ring basically from our father.
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 1: And now you're expecting me to take on that weight.
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 1: And it's not my fight. This whole time, this was
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 1: not my fight. And now you want me to take
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 1: it and take up that mantle? That's not the mantle
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 1: for me.
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 9: That whole arc just felt so empty to me. Nobody
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 9: came back at the end, you know what I mean,
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 9: to ask him why he didn't want to take the ring.
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 9: There was a couple of holes that are bothering me
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 9: because Sorry. This ending felt a little unearned, in a sense.
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 8: It kind of felt like a Little House on the
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 8: Prairie type of ending.
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 13: John the Magical Negro goes and solves all the white
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 13: people's problems.
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 9: Aside from that, you have no explanation on how Noah...
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 9: broke this motherfucker out of Sky Azkaban or Space Azkaban
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 9: whatever you don't really have um I kind of would
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 9: have wanted to see Noah and Zoe's like little conversations
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 9: about who he is and what he is Noah's also
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 9: Jesus somehow like the immaculate.
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 13: Can touch me it's the acolyte all over.
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 9: Again and for what reason like if a Manhunter can
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 9: basically make and build anything like it there's a lot
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 9: of shit that bothered me with the show. I felt
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 9: like they could have done something different with the, the
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 9: ending storyline.
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 1: I want to see if I, I want to see
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 1: if I can kind of open the door a little
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 1: bit for you. Um, there are storylines or there is
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 1: a storyline where the man Hunter is a good guy.
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 1: Like they've gone against the programming. And even, even in
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 1: this story where Noah is saying, I had these thoughts,
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 1: he's like, I want to do good. I want to
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 1: do this. I want to do that. I, Because of
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 1: the way his mother raised him. But he said, I
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 1: keep getting these ideas. So it's like, that's the programming
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 1: he's fighting. Because even when he's talking to John and
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 1: he's telling him, he says, yeah, I shot Hal and
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 1: I did this and I did this and everything else.
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 1: And then when he's standing there talking to Carrie and
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 1: she lets him know the entire ordeal, that's when he says, yeah,
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 1: I'm seeing... everything how it's playing out he says he's
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 1: fighting whatever it is Zoe programmed him to be he's
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 1: fighting it because the way you raised him like she
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 1: said it like I raised him with love he was
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 1: so perfect he was this he was that and the
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 1: way she raised him to be this good kid and
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 1: the only reason why she's so it's not so much
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 1: just being the mother being so protective it's the mother
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 1: being scared shitless of what could happen which is the
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 1: same thing with John's mother having to leave him in
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 1: areas that, you know, and to walk home in, in
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 1: unprotected areas and everything else. He was like, I get
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 1: it now. Cause what you're dealing with is what my
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 1: mother was dealing with. I'm seeing it now, you know,
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 1: because that's that same, she did it because she wanted
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 1: me to have the, she wanted the best for me.
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 1: She did it because she wanted me to be the
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 1: best that I am. And I am that, And now
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 1: she can breathe, as we've seen at the end of
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 1: the episode when he finally hugs his mother. And she
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 1: has that. You could tell it's that. Because even. when
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 1: she left him, even when they told him to get
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 1: out the car when he was a kid and made
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 1: him walk home, that moment right there, that was that
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 1: air of a mother being worried.
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 4: Give us the cookout scene, you cowards.
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 8: There's also that ending scene.
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 9: If you're just looking at it superficially, it looks like
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 9: mom is, is taking us like a sigh of relief,
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 9: but somebody else, I forgot where I was on the internet.
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 9: Somebody pointed out the color scheme. They're living in fear still.
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 9: They're literally still living in fear. So that breath is
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 9: maybe not her being showing relief, but at least knowing
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 9: that her job to get him, that ring is done,
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 9: but I don't think it's, it's fully relief.
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 1: Like I said, his story is far from done. That
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 1: lantern he has is official now. It's called the Dark Lantern.
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 1: We've seen that it was created by Noah and Sinestro
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 1: and it has streaks of yellow in it. Whatever's in
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 1: that fear gas or whatever the heck is going on
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 1: on that planet. They don't explain it, but I'm sure
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 1: they will, which is why it's kind of a open-ended finale,
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 1: I guess. It does kind of explain where he says,
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 1: I'll embrace my fear. It's funny, Sinestro has also said
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 1: the same thing when holding the ring. I'll embrace my fear.
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 13: But also, Sinestro is the giant dwarf from Endgame. He
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 13: knows how to just make these things on a whim now.
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 13: That's really what's throwing me off.
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 1: Well, I think there's more to Sinestro. Obviously, there's going
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 1: to be more to Sinestro that we have not seen.
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 1: I'm sure of it. They're not just going to say, oh,
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 1: and then here's Sinestro and we're doing Peperino. No, they're
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 1: building that up. to something. He's still alive on that planet.
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 1: Probably still chained up. And even more pissed because he's
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 1: been left behind. He's like, you son of a bitch.
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 1: You left me here. After dunking me in the water.
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 1: Don't put me in there. I did have a question.
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 1: What did Sinestro see every time he was dumped in
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 1: that water? What did he witness?
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 4: Shower time in prison?
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 7: Damn.
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 1: I was about to say reliving killing the first Guardian,
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 1: but damn, Tafari had to go that way. There's definitely
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 1: some open-ended plot lines, and I'm sure they're not open-ended
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 1: on purpose. Like, oh, we forgot to talk about the story. No, like,
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 1: Jon mentions, hey, I understood you just lost the Guardian.
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 1: My condolences. You know, they never say what Sinestro was
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 1: in there for, but we know Sinestro was in there
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 1: for going against the Guardians, and more than likely, it's
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 1: taking out one of the Guardians. We're not sure that
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 1: Layla is even one of the Guardians.
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 5: No.
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 4: I'm still tripping on.
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 13: None of this happens if Hal doesn't have a change
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 13: of heart and suddenly care about these people he didn't
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 13: give a fuck about 10 years ago. Also, why is
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 13: Hal Jordan, the famous Green Lantern, serving 10 years and
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 13: no one tried to get him out? He's definitely helped
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 13: on government missions and brought in war criminals. They just
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 13: left him there. And the first thing you.
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 5: They probably didn't know.
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 13: I feel like in a world with Amanda Waller and
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 13: all these other people, somebody knew.
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 4: Like, damn, we ain't seen the green.
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 12: Somebody knew, but he wasn't a priority.
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 5: They wasn't in the budget. They wasn't in the budget.
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 1: Then there's that. Then there's that.
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 4: You're right.
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 1: There's that. Let's be honest. The Justice Gang was still
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 1: in its heyday. It was still three members short, three
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 1: members deep.
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 13: Yeah, but I just mean, and then the first thing
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 13: you do is like, damn, I'm going to go back
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 13: to this town. And it's like, well, they lit my
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 13: house on fire. What did you think was going on?
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 13: I'm surprised they didn't just shoot you. Like, everybody has
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 13: a gun. Literally the whole town had guns and was armed.
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 4: Even the kids have guns.
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 13: They didn't know why they had guns. Zoe just told them,
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 13: be ready.
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 4: For what? Just in case.
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 5: The main thing we miss is that fucking sheriff. Fuck
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 5: that bitch. She put John in jail because her ex
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 5: jumped him. And then you killed Hal. And then you're
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 5: just not going to go to jail?
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 13: That's the one black mistake I'll give. That's the one
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 13: black mistake I'll give John. I'm like, you swung first. Technically,
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 13: she does get you. It was cool to see him
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 13: do the countdown and punch him. But that's the one rule.
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 13: You got to let them get the first shot.
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 5: You know why John let her go? It wasn't to
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 5: make sure Noah don't become super evil because they love
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 5: older women.
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 13: He's the black dude from Brickleberry and her, and her son,
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 13: her son, Loki. Like I get why he delayed the ceremony.
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 13: Cause that is a, that is a tech. That is
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 13: a tactic people will use in small town recruiting. But
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 13: if he put that army hat on, I would have
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 13: snipe buddy at the goal line.
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry.
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 1: I was expecting that, actually.
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 13: I was like, bro, if he goes to Nebraska, if
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 13: he puts on the Army football hat, take him out.
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 4: Gotta go. Gotta go.
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 13: Because I figured that's why he was getting recruited. I'm like,
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 13: if the kid's a Manhunter, that's literally rise to power. Football, politics, sport.
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 13: We got fucking Jake Paul at the Republican National Convention
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 13: with the president.
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 4: It's not that hard these days.
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 13: Also, our current defense person is ripping lines with Lex Luthor.
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 13: So it's not it wouldn't be hard to do like.
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 4: Hmm.
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 1: I was going to say, wait, exit. Oh, no, you're
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 1: talking about. OK. No, no, no. That exit decided to
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 1: go full on. I can't put this episode. He went
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 1: full on Wolfenstein. I don't want to hear that bitch's name.
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 12: I don't want to hear his dumb ass name.
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 13: Their whole story killed me. I kind of hate that
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 13: it was straightforward. Like, oh, he really did fall in
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 13: love with her. I'm like, why?
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 8: It felt boring. That ending just felt boring. I'm not
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 8: looking for action.
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 9: I got that two episodes ago. I'm good off of
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 9: the action. It kind of fell flat to me.
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 1: Again, the whole collaboration side, we have to give the
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 1: white people something to be interested in because why else
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 1: would he go for a gilf?
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 4: Twice.
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 1: Twice.
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 4: Had to hit it a second time to make sure
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 4: it was real.
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 1: Probably because it was the best one in town, like
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 1: their coffee or their pie. I don't know.
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 13: Look, I mean, when you end up in predominantly white
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 13: spaces or PWIs, you will just like, damn.
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 1: Was it too much care? Was it too much?
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 1: Hey, that's based off what they say. It's the best
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 1: coffee in town. It's the only diner in town.
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 13: When you're at a PWI, you do start looking at
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 13: it desperately like, damn, who else looks like me around
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 13: this bitch?
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 1: Anybody?
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 13: John, I don't know. And then I'm curious if that
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 13: lady offed her own kids when I keep forgetting his name.
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 5: Mr.
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 13: Thurman from Everybody Hates Chris was coming with the Suicide
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 13: Squad to blow up the.
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 13: Because one of the trick questions he had was how
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 13: many children. I'm like, well, that could have been legit.
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 13: But also, if you have man under DNA, you can
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 13: just automatically be pregnant?
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 1: Or create life? Because like Carrie said, she went down
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 1: without a finger. She woke up pregnant. It was immaculate.
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 1: What exactly did Zoe do? It was never stated that
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 1: they could change sexes or anything. But they are powerful. Clearly,
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 1: Belly was not involved.
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 13: I'm still curious how she even survived the satellite beam
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 13: from Star Wars Battlefront just coming down on her truck.
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 1: That's probably in their makeup, whatever.
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 13: I would have liked to see her true form at
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 13: least one time. If this is the last Manhunter.
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 13: Are you just a shapeshifter? Are you like the Sentinels
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 13: from Days of Future Past? The Manhunters were a problem.
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 1: They definitely are a problem.
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 13: All I really have to go off is the ones
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 13: that we saw in John's arc in the Justice League cartoon.
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 13: Those are like big, red, rock-em-sock-em robots.
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Okay, Rev, you're right. They did answer a lot
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 1: of questions, which I knew they would. but they also
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 1: created more questions, which I also knew they would too,
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 1: because it's going to go with, it's going to feed,
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 1: like I said, it's feeding into Man of Steel, feeding
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 1: into the second season of Lanterns. But again, but can
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 1: we say for this entire run that this actually kept
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 1: people watching? Kept the haters watching, kept the fans watching,
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 1: because they kept, I've said it several times, somebody on
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 1: the clock app was saying, It was like watching paint
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 1: dry every Sunday and I said, yet here you are
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 1: in my comment section. So you're watching. You're still watching.
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 1: If you don't like it, don't watch it. But here
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 1: you are literally admitting that you've watched every episode and
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 1: you're bored every episode. Well, why do you keep watching it?
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 8: I want to see if it's going to fucking get better.
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 8: Like pull the trigger.
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 1: No, that wasn't why, because, see, when you're looking at
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 1: the way people make comments, see, like, you can explain
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 1: why certain things that you didn't like, and you can
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 1: explain why. I've seen people just say, oh, it's boring.
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 1: You didn't say why. Snyder would have done better. There's
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 1: no comeback. There's nothing. You just don't like it because, oh,
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 1: I wish John was in the suit. I don't need
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 1: to see John in the suit. The suit wasn't the plot. No.
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 1: That's the thing. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Brad. What were
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 1: you saying?
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry.
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 12: No, I'm saying a lot of people had their ideas
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 12: of what should be in this show and what people
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 12: fail to realize is is that the story is the
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 12: most important plot device. Not the suit, not the ring,
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 12: not the guardians, not Oa, not any other dumb motherfuckers
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 12: in different uniforms. What's the story behind the black green lantern?
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 12: What's the story behind the man who a lot of
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 12: people did not think was worthy of carrying this ring?
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 12: Please explain that to me. Because I wanted to know.
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 12: He's been long overdue. We've seen Kyle get a rub.
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 12: We've seen Hal get a rub. We've seen Guy Gardner
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 12: with his bitch ass get a rub. Sorry, I'm not
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 12: a Guy Gardner fan. Never have been. He does have.
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 1: Some moments, though. He definitely has moments. He is a prick. Yeah,
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 1: he is. He's more of a prick than he does
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 1: have his moments, but he has his moments.
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 12: But somehow in the comic, he's the chromatic lantern.
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 1: You know what?
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 12: Get the fuck out of here with that.
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 4: But anyway.
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 12: john has always been the most identifiable lantern justice league
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 12: and justice league unlimited came out that is the lantern
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 12: of a generation how was the start well we want
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 12: to go a little further back it was other green
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 12: lanterns but john to me was the most identifiable so
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 12: this was a story that was long overdue and as
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 12: a comic fan i wanted to see this yeah and.
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 1: And here's the thing that people don't seem to understand.
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 1: One of the people that worked on True Detective worked
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 1: on this. And it had that True Detective feel. And
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 1: I've often told people, I said, if you took away
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 1: the ring and the powers, you have another True Detective
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 1: style show that has the same type of outcome. So
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 1: what is it?
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 4: I guess that is for me.
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 13: It was a True Detective show where it turns out
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 13: there was really no detective work as far as like
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 13: All the shit except who killed how, which we just
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 13: saw the girls like, damn, he really was raised in
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 13: Gotham City like that.
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 4: That's the biggest reveal there.
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 1: But at the end, everything else got them all right.
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 13: Everything else we had a right to question was true.
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 13: You tell me not only did you like these people,
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 13: they probably lined up to testify against you like everybody
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 13: when Michael Vick went down. How they just lined up
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 13: outside the courthouse one by one. It was like, by
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 13: the way, like I can see all of Rushville dropping diamond.
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 13: So he gets locked up or protecting Zoe because. Even
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 13: after that, laser attacks, and y'all whole place didn't get raided.
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 13: The Red Cross came to see y'all before the government,
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 13: and nobody came to claim this manhunter tech that was
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 13: in this closed-off facility. But aside from all that, he
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 13: wrote letters to the one lady he had contact with,
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 13: fell in love, and then they tried to burn his
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 13: house down, and then you stayed.
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 4: You have a mansion and a plant.
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 5: Go home.
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 1: Like, go anywhere else. Let's talk about Earl. Thank God
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 1: Earl made it out, because I kept trying to figure
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 1: it out. I'm like, wait.
• 1:41:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 13: It would have been fucked the whole town. After y'all
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 13: tried to light Earl on fire, it's up for everybody.
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 4: I'm knocking all this shit off.
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 1: It's up for everybody. Y'all tried to take Earl out.
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 1: What is wrong with y'all? I'm talking about what Earl did.
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm a plant that ate meat, and I
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 1: couldn't move. Why did I got to go? I'm not
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 1: going to lie. When Hal's house got firebombed, And he
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 1: fell through the floor. First thing I said, where's Earl?
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 1: I was like, where's Earl? And then you see him
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 1: at the end. Like, oh, y'all just okay with the...
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 1: I'd like to know how that conversation went.
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 13: So you and your brothers are all smiles after you
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 13: made them take 350 grand out the account? That doesn't
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 13: just go away because you got the Green Lantern. Nigga,
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 13: you did what with our money? And you gave it
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 13: to who?
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 1: That would have been a get it back in blood moment.
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 11: Listen, I definitely agree with that.
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 16: And I thought that that was one of the things
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 16: that kind of irked me was that they really played
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 16: up that dynamic between, I guess.
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 11: The middle brother and and him. And then all of
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 11: a sudden when he came back, everything was good.
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 3: I was like, Ooh, cause he's cool.
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 1: Cause he's cool with Marcus. Like that relationship. But, uh, yeah,
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 1: that's cause that's Marcus. I want to say that's Marcus
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 1: is Aaron who got all the smoke. Cause even, even
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 1: when they were kids, cause Aaron is the older one,
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 1: even they were kids. Aaron was the one that was
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 1: just like, man, y'all always treat him better. And it
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 1: was like, so he, I'm surprised he was all smiles. Agreed.
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 13: Some people think that was a dream sequence of what
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 13: he saw when he was charging the ring. And I'm like,
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 13: that's I don't think so, but at the same time, also, yes,
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 13: what part of my childhood was fun to y'all? Nigga,
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 13: I was getting dropped off in the ghetto and apples
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 13: shot off my head. I became a vegetarian out of trauma.
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 13: What part of my life was better than y'all's?
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 1: Your mom punking you out, talking about you can't be
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 1: afraid like your damn daddy. God dang, what'd I do
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 1: to you, lady?
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 13: On a good day, I got dropped off in the
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 13: hood and some strangers gave me a plate and a
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 13: Coke and sent me on my way, but that was it.
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 4: This shit wasn't fun.
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 1: I had childhoods. I had gun training. I think it...
• 1:44:02
  Speaker 1: And what I... To reiterate, I wanted to... With Hal asking... Now,
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 1: mind you, when he was talking, when he's basically confronting
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 1: Kerry about it, he didn't say we need to leave
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 1: him behind or we need to take him out. He said,
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 1: we have to leave town. Because he's like, these people
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 1: can't basically cannot go through this stuff again because we
• 1:44:29
  Speaker 1: don't know. He said we can take him someplace and
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 1: be somewhere safe. If he decides, if the programming kicks in,
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 1: at least he won't be here. He'll be somewhere away
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 1: from civilization, I guess. And we don't know what else
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 1: Zoe told him or taught him or programmed into him.
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 1: We don't know. That part is up in the air
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 1: because I'm sure of it that this is going to
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 1: come back around. This is not a, oh, and we're done.
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 1: This is going to have some kind of ramification.
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 13: If Zoe can make more Manhunters, he might have siblings
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 13: that come and find him.
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 4: Who knows?
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 13: Or between the Guardians and their bullshit, how many other
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 13: Johns are being created on other planets who train their
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 13: whole life for a ring and then It's a lot
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 13: of sins of the father shit going on here.
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 4: But it's all mothers. It's all mothers.
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 1: So I do like the relationship that John has with
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 1: the hologram. It's a much easier relationship because he says,
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 1: you know, he's like, where were you at when I
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 1: needed you? He's like, I was around. He's like, now
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 1: you disappear? That kind of felt like a more full
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 1: circle moment. It's like, at the end, it's like, oh, yeah.
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, I'm a little mad because someone killed me.
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 1: And then he went, and then, of course, he got the,
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 1: he got the, he got the end, like, you know,
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 1: I love you, Junior. I'm like, damn, you're just going
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 1: to drop that off in the last two seconds when
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 1: you disappear, huh? Yeah. That's the way to hit the field.
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 1: I would like to think that I don't think this
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 1: is the last time we're seeing Hal Jordan.
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 13: Yeah, I still feel like, I feel like he, we
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 13: don't know if he kept Hal as a hologram. Like,
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 13: I feel like that's still possibly an option.
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 1: I'm throwing it out there. The real Hal is still
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 1: out there.
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 11: Hal's going to be Parallax. Clarifying question. What do you
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 11: mean by that?
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 16: Because I thought that once that the ring died and
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 16: then he charged it, I guess that was like his
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 16: likeness or whatever.
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 5: It is.
• 1:46:34
  Speaker 1: This has happened in comics where he has been brought
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 1: back from the dead more than once. Like the Phoenix Complex.
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 1: But something Sinestro says, he says, I can bring him
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 1: back for real. Yeah, that's weird. Yeah, that's beer itself.
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 4: I caught that part.
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 16: I was talking about the ring for a second, especially
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 16: because of what you guys were saying, because that ring
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 16: how is completely different than the real how, and so
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 16: that's a different dynamic also.
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 11: That's why I was speaking specifically for the ring how.
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 13: Yeah, I get what Lainey's asking. I'm just, because technically
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 13: the way we, are you eating black licorice?
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 12: Mind your business.
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 1: Why are you in his mouth?
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 4: I'm just... Personal choices, man.
• 1:47:20
  Speaker 9: Literally stopped in the middle of what you were saying.
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 1: I just.
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 4: Hey, look. If it was red, I wouldn't have said.
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 3: What type of fucking shit?
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 4: If it wasn't... If it was red, I wouldn't have
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 4: said shit.
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 5: It just.
• 1:47:40
  Speaker 13: But no, to what me and Laney are saying, we
• 1:47:44
  Speaker 13: kind of handle everything on Earth as kind of ghetto. Like,
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 13: not to bring up X-Men, it's a bit of a
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 13: Milky Way ghetto. Like, the reason the 5% rule works,
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 13: no other Lantern lets their shit get that low to
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 13: where it's like, what do you mean?
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 4: Get the ring or punch.
• 1:48:00
  Speaker 1: But see, because everything that Hal did and knowing how
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 1: the Guardians are and everything else, that's why he was
• 1:48:05
  Speaker 1: just like, yeah, I'm not reporting. I'm not letting you
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 1: track me down. Right. He's like, I'm going to let
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 1: this thing get low as possible because he's dealt with
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 1: this version of how we've been seeing. He's seen some stuff. Yeah.
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 1: And he's seen the BS that have been coming along
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 1: with the job.
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 4: So he's like.
• 1:48:28
  Speaker 8: And then didn't tell John shit about it.
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 4: So my point is.
• 1:48:36
  Speaker 8: Yes, he's the trainee. Nigga, do your job.
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 1:48:41
  Speaker 16: I mean, Hal was training him, but I don't know
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 16: if Hal was really training him.
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 1: He was, I think, Hal was.
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 12: Hal was shell-shocked.
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 13: For me, it's just we know the Lantern rulebook, whereas
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 13: Hal is the OG worker who's like, look, this is
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 13: not how you're supposed to do it, but it's how
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 13: I do it. So we know you're supposed to back
• 1:49:04
  Speaker 13: up your consciousness. And what is it Sinestro said? When
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 13: you recharge the ring, it's going to erase him. Based
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 13: on the rules, yes. But we still haven't been told
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 13: that you can't keep the previous person's copy in there.
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 4: It's like Star.
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 13: Wars, how they're technically supposed to delete their robots after
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 13: every mission, and then it turns out Anakin's had like
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 13: 12 years of battles on there, and they're like, yo,
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 13: if your robot gets caught, we just have to blow
• 1:49:32
  Speaker 13: it the fuck up, which almost happened. Or Halo, Cortana.
• 1:49:36
  Speaker 13: Cortana was not making it past Halo 3. She was
• 1:49:39
  Speaker 13: supposed to be in the trash like immediately now we're
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 13: going to like halo 17 and she is still with
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 13: master chief but especially when you're charging with a bootleg
• 1:49:48
  Speaker 13: ring i feel like i'm curious if the rules get
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 13: bent because i'm curious if the rules get bent and
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 13: halogram is like hey i'm not supposed to be here
• 1:49:55
  Speaker 13: well apparently a lot of shit's not supposed to work
• 1:49:56
  Speaker 13: but i choose you pikachu like let's like especially especially
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 13: if he has all of hal's memories he can give
• 1:50:04
  Speaker 13: john info that he wouldn't be privy to in what
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 13: it need to keep calling Guy or the Guardians for.
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 1: So, I think what Rev had a, what did he say? Oh,
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 1: Rev said, he said, why did they give Bernadette the
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 1: Jasmine Guy makeup and Daddy look like he's five years
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 1: older than John?
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 4: I was kidding.
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 13: Like, Dad didn't age at all this season, in this series,
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 13: between the 80s.
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 1: 20s, She didn't look old, I'm sorry, but she did
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 1: not look old.
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 4: No, the parents stayed the same age.
• 1:50:33
  Speaker 1: She looked older. They just, they gave Dad a gray,
• 1:50:36
  Speaker 1: the gray goatee Mom, they gave her, lightened her hair
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 1: a little bit, you know, but I get it.
• 1:50:44
  Speaker 13: I'm still tripping on your dad. I'm still tripping on
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 13: dad was packing heat in the nursing home and they
• 1:50:50
  Speaker 13: just let that slide.
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 1: They let that one slide and didn't explain it. God damn.
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 13: Dad was in there like Cotton Hill out of King
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 13: of the Hill just lighting shit up and just.
• 1:51:01
  Speaker 11: Your mouth is shaking a lot, Tommy.
• 1:51:04
  Speaker 13: Come get him or we have to call the authorities.
• 1:51:05
  Speaker 13: Are they not already on the way?
• 1:51:09
  Speaker 1: It's funny because I'm like, wait, you had him in
• 1:51:12
  Speaker 1: a home, so I was under the impression that mentally
• 1:51:16
  Speaker 1: he's not locked in, but then you show him at home.
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 13: He probably lost it when the whole thing I've been
• 1:51:22
  Speaker 13: training you for your life, you're telling me not only
• 1:51:24
  Speaker 13: did you turn it down, but you gave it back
• 1:51:26
  Speaker 13: to the people who told us to train you?
• 1:51:28
  Speaker 1: Probably just pissed.
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 13: His whole family, again, which is why his mom's name
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 13: is his government name in his phone, the parents probably
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 13: didn't take the news too well, but like, end of
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 13: the day, you want your family at home.
• 1:51:43
  Speaker 1: True. Generally though, this show, in my opinion, did a
• 1:51:49
  Speaker 1: really good job building up that, uh, that relationship between
• 1:51:56
  Speaker 1: John and how, where it was very contentious. It gives,
• 1:51:59
  Speaker 1: it gives you the buddy cop. It gives you like,
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 1: if you watch lethal, lethal weapon or any of these
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 1: buddy cop shows where like, it always starts off like
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 1: the older cop, not wanting a trainee, not wanting a
• 1:52:11
  Speaker 1: new partner, just not wanting it. Like you see them
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 1: as the replacement and it's always a problem. only for
• 1:52:17
  Speaker 1: you to turn around and say, no, you're not that bad.
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 1: I can get close to you. It took a few
• 1:52:28
  Speaker 1: episodes for them to finally get it. You saw Hal
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 1: trying to push him out at the same time, overprotect,
• 1:52:35
  Speaker 1: and then you get to the point where it's like, yeah,
• 1:52:38
  Speaker 1: I kind of need you to figure out how. I
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 1: kind of need you to solve my murder. I mean,
• 1:52:42
  Speaker 1: when you don't have a body, it's like, Yeah, I'm
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 1: basically in your head. And the thing about it was,
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 1: it was in Jon's subconscious. That was another thing where
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 1: he's like, why do you keep appearing? Ask your subconscious.
• 1:52:54
  Speaker 1: I'm only here because you want me here.
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 13: Yeah, I thought the human battery thing was going to
• 1:52:58
  Speaker 13: come into play. I'm surprised that we didn't get... I
• 1:53:01
  Speaker 13: think it still will.
• 1:53:03
  Speaker 1: Because with this lantern that he has, it's the Dark Lantern.
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 1: And if you look at when he charged it, it
• 1:53:11
  Speaker 1: reflects a yellow... If you look at when Hal charges
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 1: his ring, and then when you look at John charges
• 1:53:19
  Speaker 1: the ring, the color scheme is slightly different. There's some
• 1:53:24
  Speaker 1: little flashes of yellow in there. That's why I sit
• 1:53:28
  Speaker 1: there and say Sinestro has kept on telling me, he's like,
• 1:53:30
  Speaker 1: if you want to survive, you need to charge the ring.
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 1: And Hal's like, wait a second.
• 1:53:35
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry.
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 1: Hal Graham Hal was like, hold on a second. He
• 1:53:40
  Speaker 1: built that? you might want to not at first. He
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 1: was like, you don't do that because there's something he's
• 1:53:47
  Speaker 1: not telling you. And we all, we all felt the
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 1: same way. It's like, yeah, there's something he's not telling
• 1:53:51
  Speaker 1: you that he just built a lantern out of nowhere.
• 1:53:54
  Speaker 1: And guy, even guy, even Pete, he's like, is that
• 1:53:57
  Speaker 1: an unofficial lantern? And he looked at it for a second, like,
• 1:54:01
  Speaker 1: Hey man, you said that's on you. Whatever happens is
• 1:54:04
  Speaker 1: on you at this point. But no, it's all, I mean,
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go out on a limb and sit
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 1: there and say, uh, We're probably going to see, if anything,
• 1:54:13
  Speaker 1: they are kind of setting up the remnants. I still
• 1:54:15
  Speaker 1: think there's going to be a parallax. I also think
• 1:54:17
  Speaker 1: there's going to be a yellow. There's also going to
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 1: be the return of the fear core, and I think
• 1:54:21
  Speaker 1: Jon's going to be at the center of it.
• 1:54:23
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
• 1:54:23
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I believe it.
• 1:54:26
  Speaker 4: It could be.
• 1:54:27
  Speaker 13: This was like five minutes on Namek. They were like, yeah,
• 1:54:31
  Speaker 13: the ring's going to die. I was like, bro, it
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 13: is the next day. Y'all was talking about 15 minutes,
• 1:54:35
  Speaker 13: and then y'all was talking about any second. Then you
• 1:54:37
  Speaker 13: said the next day. It is nightfall of the next afternoon.
• 1:54:42
  Speaker 1: We are.
• 1:54:44
  Speaker 13: John and the hologram. Also, when he's like, I called
• 1:54:47
  Speaker 13: for you and you didn't come. You weren't wearing it.
• 1:54:49
  Speaker 4: Why are we.
• 1:54:50
  Speaker 13: It feels like we was kind of rushing through and
• 1:54:52
  Speaker 13: skipping the small details. I'm like, yeah, he only popped
• 1:54:54
  Speaker 13: up when you had it on. It's sitting on the dashboard.
• 1:54:56
  Speaker 13: Have you tried this at all? And then I see
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 13: why Noah's team went to the championship. That whole line
• 1:55:03
  Speaker 13: wasn't protecting shit. He was running it every play.
• 1:55:08
  Speaker 1: So it's going to be interesting what they do with
• 1:55:13
  Speaker 1: this character going forward because like I said every plot
• 1:55:17
  Speaker 1: hole that we spotted is not really a plot hole
• 1:55:21
  Speaker 1: it's just another avenue to tell a further story and
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 1: that's the beauty of this entire thing Like you can
• 1:55:29
  Speaker 1: sit there. Everybody had theories. Everybody had angles and kept
• 1:55:33
  Speaker 1: getting like March Madness brackets getting destroyed every episode. I
• 1:55:38
  Speaker 1: loved every freaking minute of it. My God, I loved it.
• 1:55:44
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I said, I'm enjoying not being right this
• 1:55:49
  Speaker 1: time about this. I'm enjoying this. But here's also the
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 1: beauty of it that we're not saying. We no longer
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 1: have to watch that stupid podcast afterwards. I ignored part
• 1:56:06
  Speaker 1: of it. I just enjoyed listening to the people who
• 1:56:09
  Speaker 1: wrote and directed. All I cared about was that. The
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 1: writing team with Chris Mundy, David Lindelof, Tom King, Vanessa Baden-Kelly,
• 1:56:22
  Speaker 1: many others. Shout out to that team because they really
• 1:56:25
  Speaker 1: did put together something amazing and really enough for you
• 1:56:30
  Speaker 1: to run it back. This show was garnering up to
• 1:56:33
  Speaker 1: 19 million viewers, which is on par to Game of Thrones.
• 1:56:37
  Speaker 1: And guess what? Game of Thrones didn't even have a
• 1:56:39
  Speaker 1: book to finish, and look how that ended. We'll never
• 1:56:44
  Speaker 1: get wins. We'll never get wins at this point. They've
• 1:56:48
  Speaker 1: been trying. We got a Starbucks cup. They've been trying
• 1:56:51
  Speaker 1: to correct that ever since. But yeah, it's definitely something
• 1:56:58
  Speaker 1: worthy to talk about. I love that the Snyder maniacs
• 1:57:03
  Speaker 1: are upset, but guess what? Y'all still tuned in. Wait
• 1:57:08
  Speaker 1: till Clayface comes out.
• 1:57:10
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah.
• 1:57:11
  Speaker 1: Clayface comes out. They're going to really lose their stuff.
• 1:57:13
  Speaker 1: Somebody said, who asked for a Clayface movie? James Gunn said,
• 1:57:19
  Speaker 1: Here we go. But I love his explanation, though. He
• 1:57:23
  Speaker 1: sat there and said, you cannot ask for different storytelling
• 1:57:26
  Speaker 1: and different characters, and when presented, you cannot be picky.
• 1:57:32
  Speaker 1: And that's what we've been seeing. That dude deleted his account. Oh, yeah.
• 1:57:38
  Speaker 1: Dog pile on the rabbit. But see, that's the thing.
• 1:57:42
  Speaker 12: I know you did not say dog pile on the rabbit.
• 1:57:44
  Speaker 1: Dog pile on the rabbit. Oh, man.
• 1:57:46
  Speaker 12: If you don't know, you're too damn young.
• 1:57:50
  Speaker 1: What we've seen is a lot of people who are
• 1:57:53
  Speaker 1: doing a lot of complaining since James Gunn started doing
• 1:57:56
  Speaker 1: the whole, started basically rebuilding this world. Like, you're wrong.
• 1:58:01
  Speaker 1: You're all wrong. Like, you were crying about story. You're
• 1:58:06
  Speaker 1: getting story. You're getting rich storyline. You're getting connections. It
• 1:58:10
  Speaker 1: doesn't have to be connected like Marvel. Marvel was making
• 1:58:13
  Speaker 1: really hard connections and everything else. These are worlds that's
• 1:58:17
  Speaker 1: being built. He is building just that, a world. These
• 1:58:22
  Speaker 1: people will not cross paths yet. Not until.
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 1: They just now starting to cross. I'm sorry, take that back.
• 1:58:28
  Speaker 1: They're just now starting to cross paths. By Guy Gardner
• 1:58:31
  Speaker 1: showing up. So they're just now starting to cross paths.
• 1:58:37
  Speaker 1: Go ahead. Go ahead. So they're just now starting to
• 1:58:42
  Speaker 1: cross paths thanks to Guy Gardner. They're just now mentioning, well,
• 1:58:46
  Speaker 1: they've been dropping hints of Gotham. They just mentioned the
• 1:58:50
  Speaker 1: bad guy. Because nobody's crossed paths with this person yet.
• 1:58:55
  Speaker 1: So it doesn't need to be hard connects to Gotham
• 1:59:00
  Speaker 1: and Metropolis. It doesn't have to be that. Just wait.
• 1:59:04
  Speaker 1: Let it build. Be happy that we're getting something because
• 1:59:07
  Speaker 1: at the end of the day, when we do get
• 1:59:10
  Speaker 1: that Justice League or whatever the case may be, it's
• 1:59:13
  Speaker 1: going to pay off. Oh, God. When they do a
• 1:59:16
  Speaker 1: Justice League movie? And you're right. It is going to.
• 1:59:21
  Speaker 1: But at the same time, let us enjoy the different avenues.
• 1:59:23
  Speaker 1: Let us enjoy Clayface. Let us enjoy the dynamic duo.
• 1:59:27
  Speaker 1: Let us enjoy... We're not getting Booster Gold anymore. No,
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 1: we're not. Let us enjoy gods and monsters. Because that's
• 1:59:37
  Speaker 1: exactly what this phase is. Gods and monsters. He said
• 1:59:41
  Speaker 1: that seven years ago. So it's amazing now where it's like, okay,
• 1:59:46
  Speaker 1: and it's like, well, it's not, I said, because you're
• 1:59:49
  Speaker 1: used to, and I've had to explain this to Snyder fans,
• 1:59:52
  Speaker 1: you are used to Marvel's formula in a DC format.
• 1:59:56
  Speaker 1: And look what that's gotten us. We've gotten, don't get
• 2:00:01
  Speaker 1: me wrong, I'll always watch Marvel stuff, but look what
• 2:00:04
  Speaker 1: the cancel projects has gotten us. We were supposed to
• 2:00:07
  Speaker 1: have Blade. They announced a movie before they had a script.
• 2:00:15
  Speaker 1: they announced a movie before they even had anything written
• 2:00:18
  Speaker 1: about the build out of any of these characters that's
• 2:00:21
  Speaker 1: a mistake that's a huge mistake from any creative standpoint
• 2:00:25
  Speaker 1: don't announce it and then you turn around you don't
• 2:00:27
  Speaker 1: have anything and give a small and no and none
• 2:00:31
  Speaker 1: and not knocking because your mother your mother your mother
• 2:00:35
  Speaker 1: beautiful movie by the way uh also the same time
• 2:00:38
  Speaker 1: You gave that man one line in the Eternals, and
• 2:00:41
  Speaker 1: then you made him do a year and a half
• 2:00:44
  Speaker 1: of training. I mean, he was ready for the role.
• 2:00:48
  Speaker 1: You went through four directors. You went through a team
• 2:00:52
  Speaker 1: of writers. At the same time, I kept asking myself,
• 2:00:56
  Speaker 1: how are you going to write about a black vampire?
• 2:00:59
  Speaker 1: And you have plenty of black artists, black writers, and
• 2:01:02
  Speaker 1: black directors. And you chose not to go any of them.
• 2:01:07
  Speaker 1: And Kevin Feige's going to come out there and sit
• 2:01:09
  Speaker 1: there and say, oh, well, we fumbled it. I feel
• 2:01:11
  Speaker 1: like a failure. No. Yeah, you did more than fumble it.
• 2:01:14
  Speaker 1: You fumbled it. You tried to wait. You were in
• 2:01:16
  Speaker 1: the end zone and still dropped the damn ball. Yeah,
• 2:01:19
  Speaker 1: you tried to wait. You were a yard away. And
• 2:01:23
  Speaker 1: so this is why everything we're seeing from Peacemaker, Superman, Supergirl,
• 2:01:30
  Speaker 1: Creature Commandos, you're seeing character building, character studies. Every last
• 2:01:38
  Speaker 1: one of those characters are dealing with something. People were
• 2:01:41
  Speaker 1: so upset that it was like when they broke down
• 2:01:44
  Speaker 1: Krypton's message, the rest of the message that was sent
• 2:01:47
  Speaker 1: to Kal-El, oh, he was supposed to come there and
• 2:01:50
  Speaker 1: conquer and do this and do that. And he's like, no,
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 1: that's not what he was raised to do. He does
• 2:01:57
  Speaker 1: not want that. He doesn't enjoy none of that. Supergirl
• 2:02:03
  Speaker 1: is someone who lost her parents and can remember that
• 2:02:07
  Speaker 1: tragedy of losing her world. But they wanted what was
• 2:02:11
  Speaker 1: on Superman. But y'all didn't want Superman, remember? You didn't
• 2:02:15
  Speaker 1: want Batman.
• 2:02:17
  Speaker 6: So now you get what's going on in Supergirl where
• 2:02:22
  Speaker 6: she's trying to deal with the trauma and you're just like,
• 2:02:24
  Speaker 6: but we want her to be like flash, bang, pow, bam.
• 2:02:28
  Speaker 7: No!
• 2:02:29
  Speaker 1: Y'all don't know what y'all want.
• 2:02:30
  Speaker 5: Do you see it?
• 2:02:31
  Speaker 12: DC has retconned so much of their characters and storylines
• 2:02:36
  Speaker 12: over the past 20 years, it makes no sense. You
• 2:02:39
  Speaker 12: could literally see a character who had longevity get changed.
• 2:02:45
  Speaker 12: And then when that gains momentum, it changed again. And
• 2:02:50
  Speaker 12: then again.
• 2:02:51
  Speaker 1: And eventually, it.
• 2:02:53
  Speaker 12: Just drove me crazy. Because why do we have... It
• 2:02:56
  Speaker 12: was Convergence. There was New 52.
• 2:02:59
  Speaker 1: There was New 52, Rebirth, Urgence, and Rebirth.
• 2:03:02
  Speaker 12: And then what we got now, which is all dark.
• 2:03:05
  Speaker 12: And we're saying, well, wait, wait. Y'all have flooded everybody
• 2:03:10
  Speaker 12: with Batman and Superman and Wonder Woman. And now you
• 2:03:14
  Speaker 12: put yourself in a corner where you can't even focus
• 2:03:16
  Speaker 12: on other characters because people are going to keep going
• 2:03:18
  Speaker 12: to the same ones all the time because you pounded
• 2:03:21
  Speaker 12: them into everyone's heads.
• 2:03:24
  Speaker 1: So, at the end of the day, um, One, I
• 2:03:28
  Speaker 1: love the show, Lanterns. I love the show. I love
• 2:03:30
  Speaker 1: the build-up. I love how it was written. I love
• 2:03:32
  Speaker 1: the acting. Not even so far. Great job. Looking forward
• 2:03:38
  Speaker 1: to more. I'm liking what they're doing with the DC
• 2:03:43
  Speaker 1: Universe because I'm patient. I am patient. They gave Snyder
• 2:03:52
  Speaker 1: four movies. You can give Gunn ten years. He's already
• 2:03:56
  Speaker 1: on to his next projects because some of the other
• 2:04:00
  Speaker 1: stuff is already written. Because it's like he's like, okay,
• 2:04:03
  Speaker 1: we got this done. We got the base of everything done.
• 2:04:05
  Speaker 1: Rewrites done, done, done, done. Let's go to the next thing.
• 2:04:08
  Speaker 1: Because even though he's moving at a certain pace, he's
• 2:04:12
  Speaker 1: making sure everything's where it needs to be. Everything's being
• 2:04:17
  Speaker 1: weaved how it needs to be weaved.
• 2:04:19
  Speaker 12: You know who the real GOAT is, right, though? You
• 2:04:21
  Speaker 12: know who the real GOAT is? Greg Rolanti.
• 2:04:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:04:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 2:04:25
  Speaker 1: Greg Berlanti.
• 2:04:27
  Speaker 12: It ain't anything in DC Studios because Greg Berlanti brought
• 2:04:30
  Speaker 12: characters to the screen that were not part of the
• 2:04:34
  Speaker 12: triad and gave them life.
• 2:04:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:04:38
  Speaker 12: And now we see people like, we want those characters
• 2:04:40
  Speaker 12: in there. Well, no, because we're going to write them...
• 2:04:42
  Speaker 12: The way you want to write them.
• 2:04:44
  Speaker 11: And everything is fine.
• 2:04:45
  Speaker 1: Hey, ref, he said, yeah, but damn it, don't have
• 2:04:47
  Speaker 1: the girl eat cereal after the damn dog. Well, I mean,
• 2:04:50
  Speaker 1: I can't argue that. I'll just say this. People going
• 2:04:53
  Speaker 1: to be people. I'm just saying that's black code. You
• 2:04:57
  Speaker 1: know what I mean?
• 2:04:59
  Speaker 12: Members of the ultraviolet collective will continue what they do.
• 2:05:02
  Speaker 1: People go people. Tafari, what you think of Leonard's?
• 2:05:08
  Speaker 13: I thought it was overall a dope show. I'm curious
• 2:05:10
  Speaker 13: to how this ties into Man of Tomorrow. I was
• 2:05:13
  Speaker 13: low-key expecting some kind of cameo from somebody who was
• 2:05:16
  Speaker 13: going to be in that film.
• 2:05:17
  Speaker 4: Like, anyone?
• 2:05:19
  Speaker 13: But the fact that we kind of just left it on.
• 2:05:22
  Speaker 1: I.
• 2:05:23
  Speaker 13: Feel like y'all could have picked any other song for
• 2:05:26
  Speaker 13: John to follow in this way.
• 2:05:28
  Speaker 1: The hero song? Actually, it's a catchy song. It's Michael...
• 2:05:31
  Speaker 1: I can't think of his last name. It's Michael something.
• 2:05:34
  Speaker 5: But, uh.
• 2:05:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, the.
• 2:05:38
  Speaker 13: Solid show. I would have liked a little bit more.
• 2:05:41
  Speaker 13: We've solved the mystery at the end. It feels like
• 2:05:43
  Speaker 13: everything was so straightforward at the very end. We were
• 2:05:47
  Speaker 13: questioning it all. It's like, nope, nobody was lying.
• 2:05:49
  Speaker 4: I'm like, whoopie, see, I got it too.
• 2:05:51
  Speaker 1: Okay. I ain't gonna lie. I was gonna cringe a
• 2:05:54
  Speaker 1: little bit if I start hearing we are family at
• 2:05:56
  Speaker 1: the end of that episode. I was gonna start cringing
• 2:05:58
  Speaker 1: a little bit.
• 2:06:00
  Speaker 4: I think it's a solid show.
• 2:06:01
  Speaker 13: I'm glad we have two lanterns. I'm sure they'll find
• 2:06:05
  Speaker 13: a way to bring Hal back from the dead so
• 2:06:07
  Speaker 13: we can have our three on Earth and we'll just
• 2:06:11
  Speaker 13: blackmail them too when he comes back. For now, I'm
• 2:06:14
  Speaker 13: curious to see how this continues in Superman. Apparently, they
• 2:06:17
  Speaker 13: just announced Mogul might show up. For real this time?
• 2:06:24
  Speaker 1: They keep talking about Nort, so they keep talking about
• 2:06:27
  Speaker 1: the squirrel. I'm The squirrel's been mentioned at least several times.
• 2:06:31
  Speaker 13: I was hoping for a killer wall cameo, but I
• 2:06:33
  Speaker 13: guess that'll have to wait.
• 2:06:35
  Speaker 5: Patience.
• 2:06:35
  Speaker 11: Patience.
• 2:06:37
  Speaker 5: That's up in the budget.
• 2:06:41
  Speaker 13: That CGI out here was limited. They said y'all get
• 2:06:43
  Speaker 13: Michael Bay explosions, kind of, and that's it.
• 2:06:46
  Speaker 1: Kind of Michael Bay. Justin, what you think of the show?
• 2:06:50
  Speaker 7: Um.
• 2:06:52
  Speaker 5: I mean, I, I like it a lot. You know,
• 2:06:54
  Speaker 5: like I said, James Gunn is one of my, it's
• 2:06:56
  Speaker 5: like my favorite director. So, um, you know, it's like
• 2:06:59
  Speaker 5: not to bring it back to like my Batman movie.
• 2:07:01
  Speaker 5: It's like, it's like, it got like a lot of
• 2:07:02
  Speaker 5: like James Gunn feel in it. And it just like,
• 2:07:05
  Speaker 5: but to the, uh, uh, the show just overall is like,
• 2:07:08
  Speaker 5: I'm just happy people like is talking about green lantern,
• 2:07:12
  Speaker 5: you know? And then it's, it's just the fact is
• 2:07:14
  Speaker 5: like how DC in general, like all this, all this
• 2:07:17
  Speaker 5: stuff literally has its own feel to it. You know,
• 2:07:20
  Speaker 5: that's why I just like about it in general. And
• 2:07:23
  Speaker 5: then at first I was like Supergirl should have gotten
• 2:07:28
  Speaker 5: the show and Lantern should have gotten the movie. But
• 2:07:30
  Speaker 5: I understand why they're doing it with Lanterns. It's like
• 2:07:32
  Speaker 5: with the previous movie fucked everything up for them so
• 2:07:35
  Speaker 5: they had to like slow roll it. Slow roll it
• 2:07:37
  Speaker 5: in but it's like I'm pretty sure they expect Hal
• 2:07:40
  Speaker 5: Jordan to take off as everybody's fan favorite. So I
• 2:07:43
  Speaker 5: hope it is true they'll eventually do a prequel. A
• 2:07:47
  Speaker 5: prequel movie.
• 2:07:49
  Speaker 1: Something because I would like to see some other stuff
• 2:07:51
  Speaker 1: that he did. I'm the same. I would love to
• 2:07:53
  Speaker 1: see what else that you do prior to meeting John
• 2:07:56
  Speaker 1: or whatever the case. Whoopty. Mute it.
• 2:08:02
  Speaker 4: Microphone.
• 2:08:03
  Speaker 1: Mute it.
• 2:08:05
  Speaker 4: I think she said one second.
• 2:08:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:08:07
  Speaker 10: I mean, I still haven't seen the last episode, and
• 2:08:11
  Speaker 10: I've had shows totally fall apart for me with the
• 2:08:14
  Speaker 10: last episode, so I'm reserving my judgment until I see it.
• 2:08:17
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 2:08:18
  Speaker 5: Spartan.
• 2:08:21
  Speaker 1: As far as the show, I'm sold. Everything, every theory
• 2:08:25
  Speaker 1: I had was wrong, except I was right about who
• 2:08:27
  Speaker 1: killed how. I said on Get Bit that I was
• 2:08:30
  Speaker 1: the sheriff because of how she looked. Did love the
• 2:08:34
  Speaker 1: Noah angle, but then again, I love how they left
• 2:08:36
  Speaker 1: it open-ended. And yeah, sets up for other parts moving forward.
• 2:08:42
  Speaker 1: So I liked it. Geek by Heart, by the way,
• 2:08:47
  Speaker 1: happy belated and happy anniversary.
• 2:08:50
  Speaker 11: Happy anniversary!
• 2:08:53
  Speaker 12: It's your anniversary.
• 2:08:56
  Speaker 11: No, I also liked it as well.
• 2:08:59
  Speaker 16: I especially got emotional actually at the beginning of the
• 2:09:02
  Speaker 16: series more when we were talking about or when they
• 2:09:07
  Speaker 16: were talking about the mom and how she was basically
• 2:09:13
  Speaker 16: setting John Up, how it was going between our lived
• 2:09:19
  Speaker 16: experiences as Black people, but also something about a universal
• 2:09:23
  Speaker 16: thought about fear. And I just was like, yo, that
• 2:09:27
  Speaker 16: just hit me very, very raw as a mom and
• 2:09:31
  Speaker 16: then also as a mom in a new situation where
• 2:09:34
  Speaker 16: I'm at. But then also, I think the only thing
• 2:09:38
  Speaker 16: that was my pet peeve is that we also talked
• 2:09:40
  Speaker 16: about before was that I felt like the.
• 2:09:41
  Speaker 11: Manhunters were extremely underdeveloped.
• 2:09:45
  Speaker 16: Someone that doesn't know that much about Manhunters, I felt
• 2:09:47
  Speaker 16: like I walked away and didn't really have a good
• 2:09:50
  Speaker 16: grasp on what they were and how they were a
• 2:09:54
  Speaker 16: threat to me.
• 2:09:55
  Speaker 11: So, I don't know. That might have been just me.
• 2:09:59
  Speaker 1: Now, for Navy, he hasn't seen the series yet because
• 2:10:03
  Speaker 1: he's not doing HB.
• 2:10:04
  Speaker 12: I'm halfway through it.
• 2:10:05
  Speaker 1: Oh, take that back. All right. He's powering through.
• 2:10:08
  Speaker 12: I wanted to make y'all proud of me, so I'm.
• 2:10:09
  Speaker 1: Halfway through it. So, what did you think from the
• 2:10:11
  Speaker 1: point from when you're watching it now? What did you think?
• 2:10:14
  Speaker 12: Masterful storytelling. As a comic fan since nine years old,
• 2:10:18
  Speaker 12: the main thing that will keep me together right there
• 2:10:20
  Speaker 12: is a story. You can relate to the characters. You
• 2:10:23
  Speaker 12: feel every level of emotion, whether it's anger, frustration, happiness,
• 2:10:30
  Speaker 12: just whimsy, all of that. And it crossed all things
• 2:10:33
  Speaker 12: and it kept you engaged. That's the number one thing
• 2:10:36
  Speaker 12: I love about a show. It keeps me engaged with
• 2:10:38
  Speaker 12: the characters around the main characters.
• 2:10:41
  Speaker 1: You got me.
• 2:10:42
  Speaker 12: And what's funny is when I did watch it, I said,
• 2:10:44
  Speaker 12: you know what would be really fantastic? If we had
• 2:10:46
  Speaker 12: an Alan Scott cameo.
• 2:10:50
  Speaker 1: To some degree, yeah.
• 2:10:52
  Speaker 12: To some degree, had an Alan Scott cameo. Because for
• 2:10:54
  Speaker 12: those who don't know, he's the Golden Age Green Lantern.
• 2:10:59
  Speaker 1: You don't want to know what the weakness is, though. No, no.
• 2:11:01
  Speaker 1: You don't want to know what the weakness is.
• 2:11:04
  Speaker 3: I ain't even going to put it out there.
• 2:11:05
  Speaker 11: Nah, nah, bring it up, bring it up.
• 2:11:08
  Speaker 12: His weakness is wood.
• 2:11:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:11:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 2:11:12
  Speaker 1: Because his power battery is more nature-focused and mystical.
• 2:11:19
  Speaker 12: It was more mystical. They started changing it over to
• 2:11:23
  Speaker 12: the science fiction side in the late 60s. That's when
• 2:11:27
  Speaker 12: it became the science fiction side of it and how
• 2:11:30
  Speaker 12: Jordan was introduced as the Green Lantern and everything. So
• 2:11:33
  Speaker 12: that's why you have him in the Golden Age, but
• 2:11:35
  Speaker 12: you still have Pop-Up. But I'm excited to watch the
• 2:11:38
  Speaker 12: rest of them because while you tell me about the story,
• 2:11:42
  Speaker 12: I like being a part of it, and I can
• 2:11:44
  Speaker 12: put my own puzzle pieces together. So I'm really enjoying
• 2:11:46
  Speaker 12: this ride. So I'm looking forward to seeing everything up
• 2:11:48
  Speaker 12: to the finale.
• 2:11:52
  Speaker 1: Justin, y'all go support this brother's work. You're pulling him
• 2:11:56
  Speaker 1: up here. Y'all go support this brother's work. Talk to
• 2:12:01
  Speaker 1: the people real quick. Places where they can find you.
• 2:12:06
  Speaker 4: Where they can find you.
• 2:12:08
  Speaker 13: Let them know where they can find you and how
• 2:12:11
  Speaker 13: they can support the Batman project.
• 2:12:13
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I wanted to say before we get off,
• 2:12:15
  Speaker 5: just to look at the trailer before we cut off.
• 2:12:18
  Speaker 5: Let's see if I can pull that up real quick. Yeah,
• 2:12:21
  Speaker 5: the only thing I care, I don't necessarily care about
• 2:12:23
  Speaker 5: people following me. Just follow my Batman Beyond page. I'm
• 2:12:27
  Speaker 5: doing micro stories leading up to the movie once it's
• 2:12:31
  Speaker 5: done and out next year. And follow Kayla. You don't
• 2:12:34
  Speaker 5: need to follow me. Just follow those two pages. You
• 2:12:37
  Speaker 5: can follow me if you want.
• 2:12:39
  Speaker 1: And here's that trailer of the Untitled Project.
• 2:12:42
  Speaker 5: No, no, no. It's Batman Beyond Broken Will.
• 2:12:45
  Speaker 1: Oh, that one. I didn't have that one yet. I
• 2:12:47
  Speaker 1: didn't pull that one up.
• 2:12:48
  Speaker 4: Do you need just the link or the.
• 2:12:51
  Speaker 1: Let me pull this. Yeah.
• 2:12:54
  Speaker 13: I have it in the private chat. The Broken Will
• 2:12:57
  Speaker 13: teaser trailer.
• 2:12:57
  Speaker 5: Hold on.
• 2:13:02
  Speaker 1: Oh, it was the one that was further up?
• 2:13:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 2:13:09
  Speaker 13: I got the link in the 48 second one, right?
• 2:13:13
  Speaker 5: No, it's three minutes. It's the MP4 file. Oh, that
• 2:13:16
  Speaker 5: might be the one I already have.
• 2:13:18
  Speaker 4: Hold on. It's a fun pod.
• 2:13:19
  Speaker 1: I ain't going to lie. We do our best.
• 2:13:29
  Speaker 4: We try to be, man. It's a wild, wild world
• 2:13:32
  Speaker 4: out there, but just... This isn't just a suit. It's
• 2:13:36
  Speaker 4: a system equipped with.
• 2:13:37
  Speaker 15: More features than you'll need in a lifetime. Super strength, flight, stealth,
• 2:13:43
  Speaker 15: projectile artillery. The suit fuses with your senses, giving you
• 2:13:48
  Speaker 15: sharpness and enhancing all of your abilities.
• 2:13:52
  Speaker 19: How's that different from my last suit?
• 2:13:54
  Speaker 1: That one wasn't.
• 2:13:55
  Speaker 15: Upgraded with nanotechnology. It has a new assistance feature that
• 2:13:59
  Speaker 15: allows me to help you in the field, so I'll
• 2:14:01
  Speaker 15: be with you throughout your endeavors.
• 2:14:03
  Speaker 3: So what do you want to call it?
• 2:14:06
  Speaker 1: Well....
• 2:14:08
  Speaker 19: It has this aura. It has all these amazing features,
• 2:14:12
  Speaker 19: but it's the mask. It gives me my own identity.
• 2:14:17
  Speaker 19: I think Bruce's mask had white optics because he saw
• 2:14:20
  Speaker 19: things clearly.
• 2:14:22
  Speaker 1: I don't have all the answers.
• 2:14:23
  Speaker 19: I just like to run in horns first like a bull.
• 2:14:26
  Speaker 19: So the name for my suit is based on its mask.
• 2:14:28
  Speaker 3: Red Eyes.
• 2:14:29
  Speaker 2: It's the show.
• 2:14:56
  Speaker 1: What's this?
• 2:14:58
  Speaker 18: That's your health gauge.
• 2:14:59
  Speaker 3: It'll show you where you've taken damage.
• 2:15:02
  Speaker 4: He's kind of shway.
• 2:15:03
  Speaker 1: Does he have a name?
• 2:15:04
  Speaker 15: Biometric evaluation yielding ongoing neural damages.
• 2:15:09
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 2:15:09
  Speaker 19: That actually does not work at all. He definitely needs
• 2:15:13
  Speaker 19: a better name. Let's call him Lil Wayne.
• 2:15:17
  Speaker 1: Why? Because Bruce made it into his last name.
• 2:15:20
  Speaker 4: Nah.
• 2:15:21
  Speaker 19: It's because of this old school rapper I recently discovered.
• 2:15:24
  Speaker 1: Old school?
• 2:15:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Wow.
• 2:15:28
  Speaker 4: Mom, mom.
• 2:15:33
  Speaker 3: Mom, mom. Hold on, girl, give me a second. Look, look, look, look.
• 2:15:42
  Speaker 3: You see I'm on the phone.
• 2:15:44
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 2:15:46
  Speaker 1: Looks very Black Mom Cody.
• 2:15:48
  Speaker 12: No matter how much of the future it is, it'll
• 2:15:50
  Speaker 12: still be the same.
• 2:15:53
  Speaker 1: Got it.
• 2:16:05
  Speaker 19: The vines are spreading towards that building.
• 2:16:09
  Speaker 15: I'm going in.
