Speaker 1: The large Ner Drunk Collider Podcast is a production of
0:10
Speaker 1: I Heart Radio. Hey everybody, welcome to the large Ner
0:22
Speaker 1: Drunk Collider Podcast, the podcast that's all about the geeky
0:25
Speaker 1: things happening in the world around us and how very
0:27
Speaker 1: excited we are about them. I'm Ariel casting and with
0:31
Speaker 1: me as always is Jimmy Chonga. Jonathan Strickland. You threw
0:37
Speaker 1: me off. I have no response to that other than
0:41
Speaker 1: I do love Jimmy Chonga's and we will be talking
0:44
Speaker 1: about Deadpool. But before we get to that, I have
0:47
Speaker 1: a question for you. Okay, Ariel, here is your question
0:56
Speaker 1: for this week. What is you or a favorite Disney song?
1:07
Speaker 1: Jonathan um the Aerial Legs Disney And so there are
1:13
Speaker 1: a lot of you, oh yeah, whatever, Yeah, I have
1:18
Speaker 1: a passing familiarity with Disney. Well, I mean it's not
1:22
Speaker 1: the one that's been stuck in my head for two months,
1:24
Speaker 1: which is we don't talk about Bruno. We don't talk
1:26
Speaker 1: about now, although I do really enjoy I mean, it's
1:31
Speaker 1: a it's a Linen Manuel uh cornerstone, right. How he
1:34
Speaker 1: can take a bunch of different basically song pieces that
1:38
Speaker 1: don't feel like they put fit together and then make
1:40
Speaker 1: them all fit. It's it's He's wonderful at Medley's. I
1:43
Speaker 1: think I have to and I think there. They are
1:48
Speaker 1: not similar content wise necessarily, but they are similar in
1:51
Speaker 1: the drive that they have in the performance. I will
1:56
Speaker 1: say the first is be a Man from Mulan and
2:00
Speaker 1: the other is After Today from a Goofy movie, not
2:05
Speaker 1: even the power Man song, no, which I love the
2:09
Speaker 1: Powerman song, but After Today and and be a Man
2:14
Speaker 1: like they both are that kind of driving thing that
2:17
Speaker 1: I put it on. I listened to it when I'm driving,
2:19
Speaker 1: when I'm running, when I'm working out. It's just it's
2:22
Speaker 1: they're both very energizing and like tell tell like a
2:27
Speaker 1: story with other people interjecting, in which I guess is
2:31
Speaker 1: kind of similar to we don't talk about Bruno as well, um,
2:34
Speaker 1: but with a stronger through line melody. Goofy movie is
2:38
Speaker 1: is one of my favorite Disney flicks, and I feel
2:40
Speaker 1: like it's very underrated. Um, I'm glad that it's gained
2:44
Speaker 1: such a prominence again. So yeah, like most of the
2:47
Speaker 1: music from that I love, but After Today is the
2:50
Speaker 1: one that I could quote backward and forwards that if
2:53
Speaker 1: I'm feeling like I need to pick me up, I'll
2:54
Speaker 1: just start humming to myself, similar with be a Man,
2:58
Speaker 1: What about you, Jonathan. I've rambled on like I'm gonna
3:01
Speaker 1: start listing every Disney song. So my if I had
3:05
Speaker 1: to list, like a favorite, a single favorite, I probably
3:08
Speaker 1: go with Poor Unfortunate Souls from Little Mermaid. Um. However,
3:14
Speaker 1: I do just have a deep love for like great
3:17
Speaker 1: villain songs, so I'm also a big fan of be Prepared. Um.
3:22
Speaker 1: Hearing a Disney song with the word coup in it
3:24
Speaker 1: was very surprising, So be Prepared, I think, is a
3:27
Speaker 1: really effective one. And then there's a pair of songs
3:30
Speaker 1: from Pete Dragon the original that I really love, um,
3:35
Speaker 1: which is like every little piece or money by the pound,
3:39
Speaker 1: which is uh, Doc Terminus sings that. The other one
3:42
Speaker 1: is the Happiest Home in These Hills, which the the
3:46
Speaker 1: bad the family that has adopted Pete sings. And I
3:52
Speaker 1: mean there's also Bill of Sale, which is another bad
3:54
Speaker 1: Guys song. It's also great, um, but I like all
3:58
Speaker 1: the Disney bad guy songs, so yeah, those would be
4:02
Speaker 1: my picks too, But I like Poor Unfortunate Souls remains
4:04
Speaker 1: my favorite. I think it's probably the most like Broadway
4:10
Speaker 1: kind of villain number that Disney has ever done, like,
4:14
Speaker 1: and I include the Broadway shows I think, just poor unfortunately.
4:19
Speaker 1: I mean that was Ashman and Lincoln, the same duo
4:22
Speaker 1: that wrote all the music and wrote the stage musical
4:25
Speaker 1: of a Little Shop of Horrors. So and also Galivant,
4:29
Speaker 1: which the further on you get once they get past
4:32
Speaker 1: their repetitiveness, has some amusing one half because by that
4:35
Speaker 1: point the other half had already passed away. Um but yeah,
4:40
Speaker 1: because because because we lost we lost half during Beauty
4:43
Speaker 1: and the Beast. But uh yeah, that that poor unfortunate souls,
4:48
Speaker 1: such a such a melodramatic villain number, and it's a
4:53
Speaker 1: chew the scenery number. And yes, I have performed in
4:56
Speaker 1: a karaoke before. All Right, we have so much news,
5:01
Speaker 1: so much news to get, so much news. I want
5:04
Speaker 1: to talk about it all, but we just can't. So
5:07
Speaker 1: let's start with that chimmy chonga. Nous I slightly second
5:11
Speaker 1: guest calling you a chimmy chonga after I did. But
5:13
Speaker 1: it's it's there now, just like I'm stuffed with goodness
5:18
Speaker 1: and fried on the outside. So that is true. That
5:21
Speaker 1: is true. Our first story is that we have learned
5:24
Speaker 1: that Sean Levy is going to direct Deadpool three. Sean
5:28
Speaker 1: Levy is a producer and director who recently directed well
5:34
Speaker 1: Free Guy, which we had that big discussion about. He
5:36
Speaker 1: was the director for Free Guy also the Adam projects,
5:40
Speaker 1: so he's got some recent projects with Ryan Reynolds under
5:44
Speaker 1: his belt. So it seems to me that the two
5:45
Speaker 1: of them must have really hit it off. Yeah, he
5:49
Speaker 1: is not Dan Dan Levy Levy, like I accidentally read
5:53
Speaker 1: at first, which would also make a great Deadpool movie.
5:56
Speaker 1: I feel Dan Levy being Eugene Levies on UM and
6:01
Speaker 1: one of those stars of Ship's Creek. I so I
6:04
Speaker 1: wonder about this. I you know, we both enjoyed Free
6:09
Speaker 1: Guy well enough. I haven't watched Adam Project yet, though
6:11
Speaker 1: it is on my short list. I wouldn't say it.
6:13
Speaker 1: Free Guy was family friendly, but it was much more
6:15
Speaker 1: family friendly than Deadpool was, and I know the Adam
6:18
Speaker 1: Project is supposed to be pretty family friendly. So I
6:22
Speaker 1: wonder if this is also a move to make Deadpool
6:25
Speaker 1: more accessible to the Disney plus Marvel universe. I'm very
6:28
Speaker 1: curious about that myself. I mean, if you look at
6:31
Speaker 1: Levi's resume and you look over like he also did
6:35
Speaker 1: I have the museum films and stuff. So he's done
6:39
Speaker 1: a lot of which I've never watched, but I heard
6:41
Speaker 1: refund Well, yeah, he's done a lot of done a
6:43
Speaker 1: lot of adventure ish film stuff that's geared towards like
6:48
Speaker 1: family audiences. Maybe not the youngest, but like, you know,
6:52
Speaker 1: you got a couple of kids, maybe they're like twelve
6:55
Speaker 1: and fourteen, you pilommell all up in the car and
6:58
Speaker 1: you head over to the movie plex to watch yourselves
7:00
Speaker 1: a movie that's that feels like a lot of his
7:03
Speaker 1: resume falls into that category. So I also have that
7:07
Speaker 1: that not concerned but but curiosity. Um, you know, Ryan Reynolds,
7:15
Speaker 1: the whole Deadpool thing was such a passion project for
7:18
Speaker 1: him that it would be difficult for me to imagine
7:23
Speaker 1: that he would just be okay with taking the edge off.
7:26
Speaker 1: So we'll have to wait and see. But yeah, I
7:29
Speaker 1: am definitely curious about it. Yeah, I do like that.
7:32
Speaker 1: The article that we we found out about this in
7:35
Speaker 1: on The Hollywood Reporter has a picture of Sean Leafy
7:38
Speaker 1: and Ryan Reynolds at the opening night of music Man
7:40
Speaker 1: on Broadway, which of course has Hugh Jackman um knowing
7:43
Speaker 1: Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman's faux feud. I think it's
7:46
Speaker 1: fau Oh yeah, no, it's it's it's totally They present
7:51
Speaker 1: themselves as frenemies, but they legit really like each other.
7:55
Speaker 1: I cannot wait to actually see some version of Deadpool
8:01
Speaker 1: where there is a huge Jackman cameo, even if he's
8:04
Speaker 1: not playing Wolverine, he could be playing anything. Yeah, and
8:08
Speaker 1: I think that'd be a lot of fun. Yeah, I
8:10
Speaker 1: think I think that would be fantastic. Maybe maybe from
8:13
Speaker 1: the music Man. We'll see, uh something else that's kind
8:18
Speaker 1: of kind of family friendly. Um, this is not a
8:22
Speaker 1: good segue, is uh, he man? Depending on what version
8:27
Speaker 1: you're watching, Some of it's very family friendly, some of
8:29
Speaker 1: it's not. Some of it's not adult friendly. Yeah, most
8:32
Speaker 1: of it is not adult friendly. But we are in
8:36
Speaker 1: fact still confirmed to be getting a live action Masters
8:41
Speaker 1: of the Universe movie, a new one, not the old
8:44
Speaker 1: Dolf Langren one. Yeah. This news came out of south
8:46
Speaker 1: By Southwest, which is going on as we are recording
8:49
Speaker 1: this episode. That's a big film, music, and interactive or
8:55
Speaker 1: Internet slash technology conference that happens in Austin, Texas every spring.
9:00
Speaker 1: And uh, Aaron and Adam Knee who are the filmmakers
9:04
Speaker 1: behind this project, gave a little tiny bit of a
9:09
Speaker 1: glimpse into what they're planning for the film, saying that
9:14
Speaker 1: they were going to aim for a tone that is
9:16
Speaker 1: similar to thor Ragnaroks, so presumably a slightly more goofy
9:23
Speaker 1: and lighthearted tone, which honestly, I'm totally okay with. I
9:28
Speaker 1: was telling Ariel before we started recording. He Man literally
9:33
Speaker 1: started off as a cartoon designed to sell action figures,
9:36
Speaker 1: like that's all it was. It was just the the
9:41
Speaker 1: media attempt to get kids invested in these characters so
9:46
Speaker 1: that they would beg their parents to buy all the
9:49
Speaker 1: action figures in play sets. And that's the only reason
9:52
Speaker 1: it existed, which means there is no reason that the
9:56
Speaker 1: series needs to be anything like heavy or rim or gritty. Yeah,
10:04
Speaker 1: I which you know I'm for. I'm kind of tired of.
10:06
Speaker 1: And this is why I wouldn't be so better a
10:10
Speaker 1: better segue, I wouldn't be so upset with Deadpool going
10:12
Speaker 1: a little more family friendly. I'm kind of tired of
10:14
Speaker 1: dark and gritty and raunchy. Um. It has its place,
10:18
Speaker 1: but there's been so like there was such a trend
10:20
Speaker 1: for that for a long time that I'm happy for
10:22
Speaker 1: more lighthearted stuff right now. It is interesting, though, because
10:26
Speaker 1: the thing that Adam and Aaron N most recently are
10:30
Speaker 1: working on or worked on, is The Lost City previously
10:34
Speaker 1: known as The Lost City of d which is coming
10:36
Speaker 1: out at the end of March, which is the Sandra
10:38
Speaker 1: Bullock Channing, Tatum brad Pitt movie about a romance writer
10:41
Speaker 1: who goes to actually find a lost city for Daniel.
10:45
Speaker 1: Right what what everyone has said and I agree feels
10:48
Speaker 1: like a reboot of Romancing the Stone from the eighties, Yes,
10:53
Speaker 1: which I'm all about. So I mean, I I still
10:56
Speaker 1: love that movie, even though there's some major problems with it.
11:01
Speaker 1: I do too, and I like miss congeniality, and I
11:04
Speaker 1: like dramedy. Are not dramedy romance comedy rom coms, that's
11:10
Speaker 1: the word. Um. It looks it just looks like goofy fun. Um.
11:14
Speaker 1: So I'm sure that Thor will also be or not Thor.
11:19
Speaker 1: He Man will also be fun. I just hope that
11:23
Speaker 1: they include what's going on in the soundtrack of the
11:28
Speaker 1: he Man movie Discover Fantastic. I would love it. I
11:35
Speaker 1: would love it, and I will be I will walk
11:38
Speaker 1: out of that movie in a huff If it doesn't happen,
11:42
Speaker 1: you have my word on that. I mean, the characters
11:46
Speaker 1: can go to a disco, so it'll be great. Uh.
11:50
Speaker 1: Speaking of whack wacky zany comedy, we've got some news
11:56
Speaker 1: about the Harley Quinn Gang from HBO. Matt. Yeah, So,
11:59
Speaker 1: if you're not familiar the Harley Quinn series on HBO Max,
12:03
Speaker 1: it's an animated series. It is not for kids. It
12:07
Speaker 1: is a mature series that that deals pretty you know,
12:11
Speaker 1: bluntly with elements like like violence and sex in the
12:15
Speaker 1: d C universe. But one of the gags they had
12:19
Speaker 1: in that series was that kite Man, everyone's favorite No.
12:24
Speaker 1: One villain from the Batman. Uh, you know Rogues Gallery,
12:30
Speaker 1: was dating Poison Ivy before they broke up. Actually they
12:33
Speaker 1: were engaged. And now apparently there's gonna be a spinoff
12:37
Speaker 1: of the Harley Quinn series where kite Man takes over
12:40
Speaker 1: a bar called Noonan's Bar and it becomes a series
12:44
Speaker 1: akin to the sitcom Cheers from back in the day,
12:48
Speaker 1: where various d C low lifes will come into the
12:52
Speaker 1: bar and have little you know, stories play out episode episode. Yeah,
13:00
Speaker 1: kite Man is a lot of fun. Patton Oswald's going
13:02
Speaker 1: to be Condiment King, which, for those who don't know,
13:04
Speaker 1: there was an interview with Robert Pattinson, the current The Batman,
13:08
Speaker 1: who said that the Condiment King is his favorite villain
13:11
Speaker 1: because it's just ridiculous to spray people with like ketchup
13:13
Speaker 1: and mustard and Mayo and relations stuff, um, and and
13:17
Speaker 1: like Clay clay Face, who is my favorite from the
13:21
Speaker 1: Harley Quinn villains, Clay Face and and King Shark. Um.
13:25
Speaker 1: But I do kind of wonder this feels awful similar
13:29
Speaker 1: to the Rogues Gallery and how it should have ended.
13:32
Speaker 1: Uh YouTube videos. Oh, I haven't seen that, but I
13:35
Speaker 1: can easily imagine it. I Uh, I mean, it could
13:39
Speaker 1: very well be that there's I have no idea how
13:41
Speaker 1: long this this series has been in like pre production
13:45
Speaker 1: or whatever, but it could very well be that that
13:48
Speaker 1: was influential. But yeah, I I love, you know, more
13:53
Speaker 1: fun takes on this stuff. I assume there still will
13:55
Speaker 1: be an edge to it, because if it's from the
13:58
Speaker 1: same team that's doing the Harley Quinns, there definitely will
14:01
Speaker 1: be an edge to it. But it's all HBO Max,
14:05
Speaker 1: So yeah, it sounds to me like there's there's some
14:07
Speaker 1: opportunity for zaney nous and I'm all for it. Mm hm.
14:12
Speaker 1: We have more zany news to talk about. But before
14:15
Speaker 1: we do that, Hey, Jonathan, let's take a quick break. Okay,
14:28
Speaker 1: I'm broken. You're broken? Is that because you watched the
14:32
Speaker 1: trailer for The Unbearable Way of Massive Talent? Did that
14:36
Speaker 1: break you during the break? That's gonna break anybody. Yeah.
14:39
Speaker 1: So this was something that came out last week while
14:41
Speaker 1: I was on vacation. It also came out after the
14:45
Speaker 1: day we would typically record larger neutron colletor so it's
14:47
Speaker 1: our first opportunity to talk about it. I'm pretty sure
14:50
Speaker 1: that everyone out there listening is already aware of this
14:53
Speaker 1: because I'm sure it has flooded social media. I'm no
14:57
Speaker 1: longer on social media, but I cannot imagine a world
14:59
Speaker 1: where this it and get circulated like crazy. Um. It is,
15:03
Speaker 1: of course, the upcoming Nicolas Cage film, in which Nicolas
15:06
Speaker 1: Cage takes on his greatest challenge by playing himself. I
15:11
Speaker 1: mean it is a fictionalized version of himself. One we
15:16
Speaker 1: knew about this movie for a while. I actually read
15:19
Speaker 1: an interview with Nick Cage when they were talking about Renfield,
15:22
Speaker 1: which is the Dracula movie that's coming out with him
15:26
Speaker 1: in Nicholas Holton Aquafina, where he talked about this and
15:29
Speaker 1: he said, you know, if there's a project that scares
15:32
Speaker 1: you but it's not harmful for you, you should do it, um,
15:36
Speaker 1: which I certainly think is interesting. And I can one
15:40
Speaker 1: hundred percent see that in the way that Nicolas Cage
15:43
Speaker 1: operates in the movie. He movies he makes because he
15:46
Speaker 1: makes some really great stuff, and then he makes some
15:47
Speaker 1: stuff that is I'm sure really great for somebody, maybe
15:52
Speaker 1: great for his wallet. Well, I don't know. I'm sure
15:54
Speaker 1: there are people who enjoyed Vampire's Kiss. I enjoyed it
15:56
Speaker 1: in a like riff tracks away sarcastic sort of way.
16:01
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, um. But he commits to everything he does wholeheartedly,
16:05
Speaker 1: and I think that's why he's so so much fun
16:08
Speaker 1: to watch, even if the movie is not something I
16:11
Speaker 1: would put into the good bucket. But in this trailer,
16:14
Speaker 1: Nick Cage is kind of like about to give up
16:16
Speaker 1: on acting. He's tired, um, and he is hired by
16:20
Speaker 1: an excitt eccentric billionaire to go to his house for
16:23
Speaker 1: a party. He makes friends with the billionaire, and then
16:25
Speaker 1: he finds out through the CIA that the billionaire is
16:28
Speaker 1: not a good guy and he kind of becomes like
16:29
Speaker 1: a agent, double agent UM and it is. It is ridiculous,
16:35
Speaker 1: but it also looks amazingly fun. It does look fun.
16:40
Speaker 1: The billionaires played by Pedro Pascal, who is everywhere now
16:45
Speaker 1: like this was a guy that I was like, I
16:48
Speaker 1: was not on my radar, and then he was in
16:49
Speaker 1: like Wonder Woman and of course the Mandalorian tons of stuff,
16:55
Speaker 1: and now he's everywhere and he's playing the part of
16:58
Speaker 1: this this nefarious millionaire character. Um and the little interactions
17:04
Speaker 1: they have in the trailer between the two of them
17:06
Speaker 1: are adorable and fun. And uh, the thing that this
17:10
Speaker 1: has given me, it's given me a lot of the
17:12
Speaker 1: interview vibes. I don't know if you ever saw the interview.
17:17
Speaker 1: I didn't not watch that, you know what I'm talking about.
17:21
Speaker 1: That's the one that had um Seth Rogan and James
17:24
Speaker 1: Franco playing playing the part of the interviewed Kim Jong, Yeah,
17:29
Speaker 1: Kim Ko, Kim Chong, Well, yeah, they're they're off to
17:34
Speaker 1: North Korea like that. I get a lot of the
17:37
Speaker 1: same sort of vibes from this. But this looks while
17:42
Speaker 1: the interview like had some elements that I found amusing.
17:46
Speaker 1: I didn't really click with it at all, ah, despite
17:51
Speaker 1: the fact that there were a couple of very good
17:52
Speaker 1: performances in it. But this one, this trailer has me
17:57
Speaker 1: intrigued and interested and it looks like it's a good time. Yeah,
18:01
Speaker 1: I'm I am very excited about this movie. If you
18:04
Speaker 1: haven't seen the trailer, you haven't heard about it. Watch it.
18:08
Speaker 1: If you like listening to us. My guess is that
18:09
Speaker 1: you will think, even if it's ridiculous, it looks fun.
18:12
Speaker 1: Something that we don't know if it looks fun or
18:14
Speaker 1: not is the Obi Wan Kenobi series. So the Obi
18:18
Speaker 1: Wan Kenobi Disney Plus series. We've known it's coming for
18:21
Speaker 1: age as we knew that you and McGregor was back
18:23
Speaker 1: to play Obi one. Um, and we got the trailer
18:27
Speaker 1: the week that this is coming out, so we got
18:29
Speaker 1: the chance to see our first look at the series.
18:32
Speaker 1: And you know what, I'm so excited that oh wait, no,
18:36
Speaker 1: I'm not excited that we're back on tattooing. Seriously, I
18:40
Speaker 1: am sick of tattooing. I am done with tattooing. I
18:45
Speaker 1: get that Obi one kind of has to be there
18:47
Speaker 1: because that's where he ends up spoiler alert if you
18:50
Speaker 1: haven't seen Star Wars episode four. Um, and that that's
18:54
Speaker 1: where Luke Skywalker is stuck. But good gravy, I'm tired
18:58
Speaker 1: of tattooing. Uh. Anyway, we also see some hints of
19:02
Speaker 1: characters like the Grand Inquisitor, which was a character that
19:05
Speaker 1: was introduced in the Rebels series, the animated series, but
19:09
Speaker 1: as far as I know, has never been a live
19:11
Speaker 1: action character before, so that'll be new. Um. And we
19:15
Speaker 1: also yeah, pretty cool. He has like that weird Frisbee
19:19
Speaker 1: lightsaber thing that spins around like a propeller um, like
19:23
Speaker 1: one of those things that you buy it at Disney
19:25
Speaker 1: Park if you're a little kid during the nighttime. Yes,
19:28
Speaker 1: like the ones that light up and then you're irritating
19:30
Speaker 1: everyone who's just trying to wait for the fireworks to
19:32
Speaker 1: come on. Uh. Yeah, And we we have a couple
19:35
Speaker 1: of little site stories related to Obi. One one of
19:38
Speaker 1: those is that there was a rumor that Darth Maul,
19:42
Speaker 1: you know, the the horned, red and black bad guy
19:47
Speaker 1: in the Phantom Menace, was going to be in the
19:50
Speaker 1: series as a villain, but is now not in the series.
19:55
Speaker 1: And Furthermore, Lucasfilm says he never was gonna be. Yeah,
20:00
Speaker 1: So I guess that's that goes to show how much
20:03
Speaker 1: faith you should put in rumors. Obviously we don't know.
20:06
Speaker 1: That's assuming that Lucas films telling the truth too, So yeah,
20:10
Speaker 1: I would say we don't know who's telling the truth.
20:12
Speaker 1: I enjoyed Darth maul I personally. He was fine. Ray
20:18
Speaker 1: Park was fine. I know he showed up in Solo
20:21
Speaker 1: as well, and that was fine. Um. But then no
20:24
Speaker 1: one saw Solo. So I saw Solo. When I say
20:28
Speaker 1: no one, I mean that it it largely failed to perform. Yeah. Yeah,
20:34
Speaker 1: I they say that if he was in it. Part
20:38
Speaker 1: of the reason that they scrapped it because they were
20:40
Speaker 1: worried it was going to be too close to the
20:42
Speaker 1: Mandalorian plotline. Um, which is great. I'm glad that they're
20:46
Speaker 1: veering away from that because the Book of bubble Foot
20:49
Speaker 1: just um the bubble Foot. The Book of Bubblefoot just
20:54
Speaker 1: did um. It was a little lacking for me, too
20:56
Speaker 1: much tattoo, so much so that so much so that
21:00
Speaker 1: they brought in episodes like the end of it just
21:03
Speaker 1: became the Mandalorian. Yeah, there were two episodes of that
21:06
Speaker 1: were really the Mandalorian episodes, not good Mandalorian episodes, but
21:10
Speaker 1: still better than yeah and so like, and it's it's
21:15
Speaker 1: a shame because I really wanted to look at like it.
21:17
Speaker 1: But I just I feel like they I feel like
21:20
Speaker 1: they tried to put too much into the first season,
21:22
Speaker 1: or maybe misorganized the order in which they gave us
21:26
Speaker 1: the story. I'm I'm not exactly sure. I've been trying
21:28
Speaker 1: to put my finger. It was a little bit of
21:30
Speaker 1: a from We could probably do a full discussion again
21:33
Speaker 1: about this, but I think my biggest problem was that
21:37
Speaker 1: I never bought into Boba Fette's motivation, Like I spent
21:40
Speaker 1: the entire series going but why does he care? Why
21:45
Speaker 1: is he doing this? What is motivating him to do this?
21:49
Speaker 1: Where is that coming from? And it never sufficiently answers
21:54
Speaker 1: that question, Like there's no reason for Boba Fete to
21:58
Speaker 1: feel any ties to Tattooing. He had no connection with
22:01
Speaker 1: that planet other than that's where he quote unquote died
22:05
Speaker 1: and that's it. And you would think like once he
22:07
Speaker 1: got back on his ship, he would be so long
22:11
Speaker 1: see a sandy planet, never gonna have to come back
22:13
Speaker 1: here again and go somewhere else. So that was my
22:16
Speaker 1: biggest issue was that I never bought into what Boba
22:20
Speaker 1: Fett was trying to do because I never felt like
22:23
Speaker 1: he had a reason to do it. Yeah, I also
22:25
Speaker 1: felt like I completely understand and agree with that um
22:28
Speaker 1: because because the Tuscan Raiders I think were his motivation.
22:32
Speaker 1: But even still it was so weak that and they
22:34
Speaker 1: got rid of him halfway through. Yeah. Again, order of operations,
22:39
Speaker 1: I think if if the first half was the Tuscan
22:42
Speaker 1: Raider documentary and then the second half was if they
22:44
Speaker 1: stopped bouncing around between pre time and current time. Another
22:48
Speaker 1: thing that really kind of hit me oddly with Boba
22:52
Speaker 1: Fette that did not hit me with Mandalorian was whenever
22:56
Speaker 1: they went to like the high tech mass effects, sort
22:58
Speaker 1: of like some of the City's very shadow run mass
23:01
Speaker 1: effect to me, and I don't think Mandalorian up until
23:05
Speaker 1: the book Abot really went to any of those cities.
23:07
Speaker 1: And we had a couple of them, I guess in
23:09
Speaker 1: the prequels. But it feels like a different genre of show. Yeah,
23:13
Speaker 1: it feels almost like it feels like they're accidentally ducked
23:16
Speaker 1: into Blade Runner. Yeah, and I know a bunch of
23:20
Speaker 1: people had issues with like his the crew that Boba
23:23
Speaker 1: Fette hires and there might be morphin power scooters um,
23:27
Speaker 1: which kind of fit that that Blade Runner aesthetic um.
23:32
Speaker 1: Although I will say the Obi wan Kenobi trailer does
23:35
Speaker 1: feel like it takes that sort of setting that they've
23:37
Speaker 1: established and makes it feel appropriate to the world of
23:42
Speaker 1: Star Wars. It feels just the reason it shouldn't feel appropriate,
23:45
Speaker 1: but it doesn't. It feels like, I don't know, I
23:48
Speaker 1: haven't been sold on the Obi one series yet. I
23:50
Speaker 1: love you and McGregor, so I know he's going to
23:52
Speaker 1: do a phenomenal job. The man like does a great
23:55
Speaker 1: eleg kinness impression if nothing else, so I am looking
23:59
Speaker 1: for word to his performance. But yeah, I think Book
24:03
Speaker 1: of Boba Fett took a lot of wind out of
24:05
Speaker 1: the sales for me as far as Star Wars is concerned,
24:08
Speaker 1: which no big surprise. I mean, it seems like every
24:11
Speaker 1: other Star Wars project either gets me excited or totally
24:15
Speaker 1: destroys my enjoyment. So I still haven't watched the last
24:19
Speaker 1: episode of the main series after all. So, but one
24:23
Speaker 1: other point we wanted to make was that technology that
24:27
Speaker 1: was used in the Mandalorian. It was this um this
24:30
Speaker 1: kind of similar to a green screen mixed with rear projection.
24:35
Speaker 1: UM is getting a lot more use now, partly because
24:39
Speaker 1: it really gives actors a lot more to work with
24:43
Speaker 1: when they're trying to do scenes and imaginative environments. UM.
24:47
Speaker 1: So you know, typically if you're doing like a green
24:50
Speaker 1: screen scene, well you've got a green screen behind you,
24:54
Speaker 1: you have to imagine the setting that you are in.
24:58
Speaker 1: This approach US is a big curved surface and projection
25:04
Speaker 1: to create the actual environment behind you, so you don't
25:08
Speaker 1: have to use your imagination. You can see what the
25:12
Speaker 1: filmmakers wanted to create. It does require a lot more
25:15
Speaker 1: work on the front end in order to get that
25:16
Speaker 1: to happen, but it also ends up potentially helping actors
25:21
Speaker 1: a lot when they're putting together, you know, their performance.
25:24
Speaker 1: And we have learned that that technology is also going
25:28
Speaker 1: to be used on a totally different Disney project that
25:32
Speaker 1: of the next ant Man film. Yeah, I'm super excited
25:37
Speaker 1: about this. I do feel like there were times when
25:41
Speaker 1: watching both The Mandalorian and Baba Fet where I'm like,
25:44
Speaker 1: this does not feel like a green screen, it doesn't
25:46
Speaker 1: feel like c g I, it doesn't feel like a
25:49
Speaker 1: painted backdrop. It feels really immersive and even on my
25:53
Speaker 1: high resolution television, it doesn't feel like a set um
25:57
Speaker 1: and I am excited for them to use in the
26:00
Speaker 1: Quantum first Um. And yeah, so that's all I had
26:05
Speaker 1: to say about. Say, well, we got a couple other
26:08
Speaker 1: teasers we want to talk about, and one of them
26:10
Speaker 1: is a teaser for the new Star Trek series Star
26:14
Speaker 1: Trek Strange New Worlds, which Um didn't tell me a
26:19
Speaker 1: whole lot about what that series is going to be
26:21
Speaker 1: like other than apparently stories about like first contact kind
26:25
Speaker 1: of stuff. And also that ye, Commander Pike or Captain
26:30
Speaker 1: Pike is one of the members of the series. Yeah,
26:37
Speaker 1: so this this series kind of follows Captain Pike in
26:40
Speaker 1: number two and Spock, you know, pre Captain Kirk, I
26:43
Speaker 1: would say, um, maybe during Captain Kirk, but back when
26:48
Speaker 1: Pike was a ship captain UM and and their adventures
26:53
Speaker 1: and watching Star Trek Discovery, I really enjoyed Commander. I
26:58
Speaker 1: thought that Captain Pike, I guess at that time, or
27:00
Speaker 1: Commander Piker, whatever his title was, I thought he was great. Um.
27:04
Speaker 1: They did a short where um they introduced his number
27:07
Speaker 1: two and I thought she was fantastic. And I like
27:09
Speaker 1: the Spock that they cast um, and I feel like
27:12
Speaker 1: it's an area of Star Trek that has been described
27:15
Speaker 1: but never super explored. Um. Maybe it was an Enterprise.
27:19
Speaker 1: I never watched Enterprise. Um, Enterprise was very different. So yeah, okay,
27:26
Speaker 1: but it gives me, the teaser for it gives me
27:31
Speaker 1: goose bumps in the way that like I would feel
27:35
Speaker 1: as a child first uh first becoming aware of space
27:40
Speaker 1: exploration and other planets. It like it really ignited like
27:44
Speaker 1: this childhood wonder in me. Just um the v O
27:48
Speaker 1: and then the locations that they created. UM. So I
27:53
Speaker 1: think I hope it will be as delightful as the
27:55
Speaker 1: teaser makes it out to be. That I'm really glad
27:57
Speaker 1: to hear that you had that reaction. That wasn't the
28:00
Speaker 1: reaction I had from watching the trailer. It might be
28:03
Speaker 1: that I'm just as jaded on Star Trek as I
28:05
Speaker 1: am on Star Wars, but I can see that that's
28:08
Speaker 1: what they were going for, right, that idea of wonder.
28:12
Speaker 1: Maybe I've just seen too much Star Trek and Star
28:15
Speaker 1: Wars and so the whole wonder thing is hard for
28:18
Speaker 1: me to think about because I've been exposed to so
28:21
Speaker 1: much of it. But my hope is that once the
28:24
Speaker 1: series comes out. Uh, that will actually totally come through,
28:29
Speaker 1: and I'll be on board because I would love for
28:32
Speaker 1: there to be a a immersive and hopeful science fiction
28:38
Speaker 1: series out there. I would love to see that. Yeah, same, same.
28:43
Speaker 1: But something I know that you did have a wonderful
28:45
Speaker 1: reaction to and did excite you was the Miss Marvel
28:48
Speaker 1: trailer that just came out. Yeah, so that that came out.
28:51
Speaker 1: The first thing was that there were little effects and
28:55
Speaker 1: the Miss Marvel trailer that made me say, this feels
28:58
Speaker 1: kind of egger right. Ship felt kind of like Scott
29:01
Speaker 1: Pilgrim versus the World with with like some of the
29:04
Speaker 1: speech bubbles and stuff, and I felt like they really
29:08
Speaker 1: gave a fun representation of Kamala Khan as a day
29:14
Speaker 1: dreamer fan fiction. Uh Big Avengers stand kind of nerd? Yeah,
29:23
Speaker 1: I I agree. Um the actress they cast was absolutely
29:27
Speaker 1: charming in the trailer as we're all the supporting people. Um.
29:31
Speaker 1: I I really like I was worried when they first
29:35
Speaker 1: said they're making this Marvel because you know, she can
29:37
Speaker 1: kind of she's got all these superpowers. She's super cool,
29:40
Speaker 1: but like, you know, she can stretch and have giant fists.
29:42
Speaker 1: You see that often and I was afraid that would
29:44
Speaker 1: look really dumb, like some nine nineties Mr Fantastic hum
29:50
Speaker 1: But what looks really cool the way they imagined it. Yeah.
29:53
Speaker 1: They also they're I feel like they're downplaying that part
29:56
Speaker 1: a lot. They're giving her more cosmic powers, and her
29:59
Speaker 1: powers are so much of the stretchy, stretchy type, and
30:03
Speaker 1: possibly that's because they don't want to uh to have
30:09
Speaker 1: too many powers overlap with Mr. Fantastic, because we know
30:13
Speaker 1: that they want to bring Fantastic four into the m
30:15
Speaker 1: c U, so that might be part of it. But Yeah,
30:18
Speaker 1: there is a sequence in the teaser or in the
30:21
Speaker 1: trailer where she is making her fist big and punching
30:25
Speaker 1: someone and it's got that little cosmic energy like glow
30:29
Speaker 1: around her fist while she's doing it. It's a super
30:31
Speaker 1: like blink and you miss it kind of moment in
30:33
Speaker 1: the trailer. But I feel like that's a nod to
30:37
Speaker 1: the actual character's powers in the comic book. I suspect
30:41
Speaker 1: what we'll see in the series will be more you know,
30:45
Speaker 1: generic shoots energy bolts from her hands kind of thing. Yeah,
30:51
Speaker 1: whatever it is, I'm super excited about it. It falls
30:55
Speaker 1: into the same realm as like shan Chi or even
30:59
Speaker 1: too well. I guess moments of Hawkman were super dark,
31:01
Speaker 1: but overall, Hawkman like the kind of Marvel uh TV
31:06
Speaker 1: shows and movies that just left me feeling happy. Oh
31:10
Speaker 1: hawk Eye, hawk Eye? Did I say hawk Man? Yeah,
31:13
Speaker 1: That's why I was confused. I was like, I thought
31:15
Speaker 1: that was a DC character. It is, and I do
31:19
Speaker 1: like Hawkman, and he's going to be in the Black
31:22
Speaker 1: Adam movie. Um, which is the thing that makes me
31:25
Speaker 1: interested in it. Well, really, I like Hot Girl, but yeah, Hawkeye,
31:30
Speaker 1: shan Chi, it's been a long day, hawk Eye, Shong Chi.
31:36
Speaker 1: Things like that that were there was there, there was
31:39
Speaker 1: Obviously there's always going to be conflict and scary things
31:43
Speaker 1: or dark things are sad things because otherwise you don't
31:45
Speaker 1: have a story, but just superhero stories that leave you
31:49
Speaker 1: feeling super This feels like it falls into that category. UM.
31:53
Speaker 1: Very excited about it, agreed. I'm I am looking forward
31:56
Speaker 1: to it. I was worried about it because there were
31:58
Speaker 1: a lot of rumor is about reshoots and rewrites and
32:02
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. But the trailer looks great,
32:06
Speaker 1: so I'm hoping that whatever changes were made are not
32:09
Speaker 1: going to be evident. When we watched the series. Yeah.
32:12
Speaker 1: Plus I mean they filmed in Atlanta, so I gotta
32:15
Speaker 1: gotta love that. Yeah, I gotta love that as an
32:20
Speaker 1: actor in Atlanta. Um. We actually have a little bit
32:24
Speaker 1: more to talk about the Marvel Universe, UM and another
32:29
Speaker 1: news story or two, but first we need to take
32:31
Speaker 1: another quick break. Okay, we're in section three where we
32:50
Speaker 1: do our mashups, and s has been the case recently,
32:55
Speaker 1: our mashups are inspired by things that happened in the story. UM.
33:00
Speaker 1: One of which is another trailer which we got the
33:03
Speaker 1: trailer for another trailer for the Sonic Too movie, where
33:08
Speaker 1: you know, we got to see a little bit more
33:09
Speaker 1: Eggman action as well some knuckles action and uh what
33:16
Speaker 1: I guess are jokes. I don't know. I'm old and
33:19
Speaker 1: nothing's funny anymore. So uh, I can say with all
33:24
Speaker 1: honesty and without any judgment, this film is not for me.
33:28
Speaker 1: But I really can see where fans will have a
33:33
Speaker 1: good time and they can do that without me. There. Yeah,
33:40
Speaker 1: the trailer for me, I didn't watch the first It
33:42
Speaker 1: looks cute, but it definitely looks kitty. UM. And I
33:45
Speaker 1: don't know why, but Jim Carrey is just kind of
33:48
Speaker 1: turning me off with his doctor robot Nicks Dr Eggman. However,
33:52
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call him character. Um. The other
33:56
Speaker 1: news we have is a little bit more sad, a
33:58
Speaker 1: lot more sad, which is William her who was Thunderbolt
34:01
Speaker 1: Ross in the Marvel movies, has passed away for from cancer. Yeah.
34:07
Speaker 1: He had a very long and decorated career in acting.
34:12
Speaker 1: He was in several like high profile classic films, uh,
34:19
Speaker 1: you know, movies that were critically acclaimed and over ever
34:23
Speaker 1: since Iron Man really well the Hulk, ever since The Hulk,
34:27
Speaker 1: he's been a part of the m c U playing
34:31
Speaker 1: Thunderbolt Ross. He showed up in Black Widow, he showed
34:35
Speaker 1: up in Avengers movies. Um so yeah, it was you know,
34:40
Speaker 1: a Captain America. Yeah, he's he's been a character who
34:42
Speaker 1: has been in uh in lots of these these films.
34:47
Speaker 1: And I'm sure that will be a difficult part to
34:53
Speaker 1: recast if in fact they decided to do that. It's
34:57
Speaker 1: also possible that they might incorporate the characters passing in
35:02
Speaker 1: the storyline. We don't know. I mean, Marvel's done both right,
35:05
Speaker 1: Marvel has has has recast characters war Machine and has
35:12
Speaker 1: uh not so we'll have to see. Yeah. Um, and
35:17
Speaker 1: of of his illustrious catalog of movies that he's done,
35:20
Speaker 1: we picked Captain America to mash up. And this was
35:23
Speaker 1: before I realized that there was a Captain America comment
35:27
Speaker 1: in the Sonic trailer. So yeah, fun times that. So, um,
35:35
Speaker 1: who you want to go first, Cereal, I'll go first. Um.
35:41
Speaker 1: This is called I think They're going to be different
35:43
Speaker 1: because we kind of gave each other a nod to
35:46
Speaker 1: what we're looking at. Um, So this is called super
35:49
Speaker 1: Soldier Sonic Serum. One day, Sonic was doing his Hedgehog thing,
35:55
Speaker 1: you know, saving little furry animals from being turned into robots,
35:58
Speaker 1: wardingwarding doctor robot Nick zooming through rings and the usual
36:02
Speaker 1: with his buddy Tails the Fox. But one day when
36:05
Speaker 1: he did so, he and Tales were transported to another
36:08
Speaker 1: world when they zoomed through a ring our word. Upon
36:12
Speaker 1: his arrival, the Strategic Homeman Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division,
36:15
Speaker 1: also known as SHIELD, picked him and Tails up and
36:18
Speaker 1: put them into containment. When Sonic came to Shield was
36:21
Speaker 1: only like mildly surprised he could talk, because you know,
36:25
Speaker 1: Rocket Raccoon and Groot and Howard the duck, but they
36:29
Speaker 1: listened to his story. Sonic told them he had to
36:32
Speaker 1: get back to his planet to stop Doc robot Nick
36:34
Speaker 1: from turning all his fuzzy friends into robots. Shield had
36:38
Speaker 1: a similar problem that they were expecting, so they were sympathetic.
36:43
Speaker 1: They said they didn't know how to get Song back
36:45
Speaker 1: to his planet, but they could make him an elite
36:47
Speaker 1: soldier so that once he did get back to his planet,
36:50
Speaker 1: he would be able to complete his quest. Sonic agreed,
36:52
Speaker 1: and the next thing he knew, he was being injected
36:54
Speaker 1: with super Soldier serum. All of a sudden, Sonic found
36:57
Speaker 1: he was human sized and a little slower, but much stronger.
37:00
Speaker 1: They gave him two large golden chakram, which are like
37:03
Speaker 1: those big Xena type weapons that kind of looked like
37:07
Speaker 1: golden rings, titled him Captain Hedge America, and sent them
37:11
Speaker 1: off to fight Earth's versions of Dr robot Nick. He entails,
37:16
Speaker 1: who did not get any super serium, but that's because
37:19
Speaker 1: he could fly, were extremely effective against the threats of
37:22
Speaker 1: Earth and space and such, and they quickly became loved
37:25
Speaker 1: worldwide as the best Avengers. That is until one day
37:29
Speaker 1: he had to fight a robot named Ultron Sonic was
37:32
Speaker 1: sure this would be easy peas, I mean, when he
37:34
Speaker 1: was fighting robot adjacent things, he was living his best life. Unfortunately,
37:39
Speaker 1: when he Entails got to Ultron, they found out that
37:41
Speaker 1: the metal body had been taken over by none other
37:44
Speaker 1: than sonics old arch nemesis, Dr robot Nick. Inside of
37:48
Speaker 1: Ultron's body, robot Nick was nigh unstoppable, stomping Sonic and
37:52
Speaker 1: ripping a tail off of tails. He had to and
37:54
Speaker 1: now he only had one, And just when things looked
37:57
Speaker 1: bleakest a lightning storm miraculously popped up and struck Sonic,
38:02
Speaker 1: which supercharged him back to his best and after an
38:05
Speaker 1: intense and very destructive fight, robot Nick was defeated. Shields
38:10
Speaker 1: confiscated the robot body and because of robot nicks influence,
38:13
Speaker 1: they were able to track away back to Sonics Planic
38:15
Speaker 1: through the Quantum Verse. They were also able to replace
38:18
Speaker 1: tails is the Fox's tail, the ripped off one and
38:22
Speaker 1: he got a new Moniker, the Arctic Soldier. Shield begs
38:26
Speaker 1: Sonics to stay, but Sonic knew he had to go
38:29
Speaker 1: home and fix the damage done by robot Nick, so
38:31
Speaker 1: he was given a special portal ring to come back
38:34
Speaker 1: through the quantum verse to Earth when needed. He promised
38:37
Speaker 1: to return when they called, and he and the Arctic
38:39
Speaker 1: Soldier disappeared back to their home the end. Nice. I
38:45
Speaker 1: could also say that there are some similarities between our two,
38:49
Speaker 1: but they are quite different. But you will pick up
38:52
Speaker 1: on those similarities right away. Here we go with mine,
38:58
Speaker 1: Captain Hedgehog, the first Avenger, Steve Rogers has a problem.
39:04
Speaker 1: He's a scrawny kid from Brooklyn who wants nothing more
39:07
Speaker 1: than to enlist in the army and serve his country
39:11
Speaker 1: over in Europe during World War Two. After all, with
39:14
Speaker 1: the US at war, the country needs every able bodied
39:17
Speaker 1: fella to do his patriotic duty and get shipped overseas.
39:21
Speaker 1: But Steve Rogers, he's a scrawny little guy, hardly any
39:25
Speaker 1: need on them bones. So he has rejected every time
39:28
Speaker 1: he tries to enlist, and he's tried a lot. Meanwhile,
39:33
Speaker 1: rogers best friend, a hunky dude named Bucky Tails Barnes,
39:38
Speaker 1: has no trouble enlisting. Barnes does his best to look
39:41
Speaker 1: out for Rogers, but of course, Barnes ultimately must leave
39:44
Speaker 1: Brooklyn to become part of the war. Rogers tries to
39:48
Speaker 1: enlist so many times that one scientist working for the Army,
39:52
Speaker 1: a guy named Abraham Erskine, is impressed at what he sees,
39:57
Speaker 1: and by pulling a few strings, he has Eve Rogers
40:00
Speaker 1: accepted into the Armed Forces, even though the kid weighs
40:03
Speaker 1: less than a typical Army backpack. In training, Rogers proves
40:08
Speaker 1: himself time and again what he lacks in strength and
40:12
Speaker 1: endurance he makes up for with heart and ingenuity. Plus
40:16
Speaker 1: At the Army's chili dog eating contest, he takes first prize,
40:21
Speaker 1: eating an insane seventeen chili dogs. It was a great
40:25
Speaker 1: day and a very rough night for the young Steve.
40:30
Speaker 1: He also makes friends with Amy Rose Carter, a British
40:33
Speaker 1: Special Operations executive officer. Carter is impressed with Steve's dedication
40:39
Speaker 1: and she finds his creative ways to achieve goals amusing. Ultimately,
40:43
Speaker 1: Roger's resolve and heart are enough to convince Abraham that
40:47
Speaker 1: the kid is perfect for a super secret soldier project
40:51
Speaker 1: he has picked to become the world's first super soldier.
40:55
Speaker 1: The scientist explains the process, which involves Steve stepping into
40:58
Speaker 1: this big like pressure chamber thing, and then the scientist
41:04
Speaker 1: holds up a syringe a syringe filled with furry blue liquid.
41:09
Speaker 1: You heard me right, furry blue liquid. And it turns
41:13
Speaker 1: out the scientist's approach is to inject a serum derived
41:16
Speaker 1: from a mutated hedgehog's blood into Steve Rogers, and he
41:21
Speaker 1: does so, and there's a lot of lights and alarms
41:24
Speaker 1: stuff go off, and smoke comes out of nowhere, and
41:28
Speaker 1: it's all very dramatic, and when all that clears away
41:30
Speaker 1: and the chamber opens, we see that Steve has been
41:33
Speaker 1: transformed from a scott scrawny kid in New York into
41:37
Speaker 1: a blue, furry scrawny kid from New York. And it's
41:40
Speaker 1: actually kind of a letdown, except then Steve sees that
41:44
Speaker 1: Carter she's about to trip down the stairs across the lab,
41:47
Speaker 1: so in the blink of an eye, he moves to
41:49
Speaker 1: her side to help her steady herself, and Carter and
41:51
Speaker 1: Nurskin look at each other and they share an understanding
41:54
Speaker 1: that Steve Rogers can now run really really fast, like
41:59
Speaker 1: super fast. In fact, it's more or less a compulsion.
42:02
Speaker 1: Steve's gotta go fast. Boom montage, we see Steve rushing
42:07
Speaker 1: through obstacle courses moments after his drill sergeant says, go
42:11
Speaker 1: we see him run literal circles around jeeps going across
42:15
Speaker 1: the base. We see him having to get new pairs
42:17
Speaker 1: of shoes over and over again as he wears out
42:21
Speaker 1: the old ones. Even the grouchy Colonel Chester Phillips has
42:25
Speaker 1: to admit that Rogers appears to have been the right choice.
42:28
Speaker 1: But Phillips is a bit irritated about all those shoes,
42:31
Speaker 1: and he tells the scientist Howard Stark, you better get
42:34
Speaker 1: that kid some footwear that can stand up to the task,
42:36
Speaker 1: or we'll go bankrupt on the shoe budget alone. So
42:39
Speaker 1: Howard Stark ends up producing a pair of red flexible
42:43
Speaker 1: footwear for Steve. They're made from a material that's part plastic,
42:46
Speaker 1: part vibranium, and they have incredible resilience while still being lightweight,
42:50
Speaker 1: and no matter how fast Rogers runs, the shoes don't
42:53
Speaker 1: heat up or wear out. Oh and we also see
42:56
Speaker 1: that Rogers can eat even more chili dogs in one sitting.
42:59
Speaker 1: His first No best is forty eight. Also, he got
43:02
Speaker 1: in trouble for that one because in the aftermath there
43:05
Speaker 1: was a brief moment when folks at the base feared
43:07
Speaker 1: that they had been hit by a gas attack. Anyway,
43:10
Speaker 1: before you know it, Steve is off to Europe to
43:13
Speaker 1: fight against Hydra and the Nazis, and we see another
43:16
Speaker 1: montage of him rushing into situations and freeing prisoners of war,
43:20
Speaker 1: or getting a look at enemy positions, or running so
43:22
Speaker 1: fast across no man's land that no bullet can even
43:25
Speaker 1: touch him. Through the whole thing, he remains humble and
43:28
Speaker 1: loyal to his country. He accepts assignments without hesitation, though
43:32
Speaker 1: it does mean he doesn't get much downtime, and that's
43:34
Speaker 1: a shame because his friendship with Amy Rose Carter sure
43:37
Speaker 1: could use a little time of its own. But anyway,
43:40
Speaker 1: one day, Rogers has called in for a new assignment.
43:42
Speaker 1: The head of Hydra, the Red Eggman, is up to something,
43:47
Speaker 1: and the Red Eggman is a legendary figure. He's known
43:50
Speaker 1: for his cruelty and intelligence, and also he tends to
43:53
Speaker 1: float around on a platform with rockets on it. It
43:55
Speaker 1: also turns out he's captured several American soldiers, and among
43:59
Speaker 1: them is Rodger's old buddy, Bucky Tails Barns. So a
44:04
Speaker 1: rescue mission is put together, with Rogers leading the way,
44:07
Speaker 1: and he's backed up by a group of guys who
44:09
Speaker 1: collectively go by the name the Howling Hedgehogs, and together
44:13
Speaker 1: they infiltrate Hydra's headquarters and Rogers splits off from the group,
44:17
Speaker 1: which focuses on keeping an escape route open. Rogers finds
44:21
Speaker 1: the captives, including Bucky, and he quietly sets them loose.
44:24
Speaker 1: They all try to make their way out, and the
44:26
Speaker 1: process of their escape they alert Hydrogen Hydra and then
44:30
Speaker 1: next thing you know, you have this high action chase
44:33
Speaker 1: sequence where Rogers does his best to get the attention
44:35
Speaker 1: of Hydra soldiers and keep them occupied while the rest
44:38
Speaker 1: try to escape. And during that attempt, there's this bit
44:42
Speaker 1: where everyone has to go over a narrow bridge high
44:44
Speaker 1: up in a mountain pass and Bucky, while making his
44:47
Speaker 1: way across, is winged by a sniper's bullet and he
44:49
Speaker 1: falls off the edge, and this is very dramatic and
44:51
Speaker 1: also very sad. Anyway, Rogers also learns that Red Eggman
44:56
Speaker 1: has in his possession a dangerous artifact known only as
44:58
Speaker 1: the Death Egg, and it's this glowing blue egg shaped
45:02
Speaker 1: thing that apparently houses limitless power inside it. And Rogers
45:05
Speaker 1: knows that if the Red Eggman holds onto this while
45:10
Speaker 1: the world is in danger, so he has to get
45:12
Speaker 1: this relic from him, so he rushes in once again,
45:16
Speaker 1: and the Red Eggman can't keep up even with his
45:18
Speaker 1: henchman Knuckles, and so Steve Rogers, now proclaiming himself Captain Hedgehog,
45:23
Speaker 1: grabs hold of the Death egg and makes his escape.
45:26
Speaker 1: Knuckles and the Red Eggman are in close pursuit, and
45:28
Speaker 1: Captain Hedgehog runs and runs, running across Europe over to
45:32
Speaker 1: the Mediterranean Sea. He runs so fast he can actually
45:35
Speaker 1: run on top of water and keeps running south while
45:38
Speaker 1: the Red Eggman flies overhead in the hypersonic jet and
45:41
Speaker 1: the Evil Knuckles, also gifted with superspeed, is Ryan Rogers heels,
45:45
Speaker 1: and just as it looks like Rogers is gonna get
45:47
Speaker 1: caught between the two, he really turns up the speed.
45:50
Speaker 1: He's on the outskirts of Antarctica and he sees an iceberg,
45:53
Speaker 1: so he runs up. The iceberg, flies up through the air,
45:56
Speaker 1: hits the hydra jet that causes the Red Eggman to
45:59
Speaker 1: lose can troll of the jet, crashing towards the seas,
46:03
Speaker 1: landing right on top of Knuckles. But before Rogers can
46:06
Speaker 1: even celebrate this victory, he falls back to Earth, landing
46:09
Speaker 1: smack dab into Antarctica, where he rapidly freezes. We skip
46:13
Speaker 1: forward six decades. An excavation team has discovered the death
46:18
Speaker 1: Egg and as it turns out, Rogers, and to their amazement,
46:22
Speaker 1: Rogers is still alive. He's just frozen, but still blue
46:25
Speaker 1: and furry, and so they thought I'm out. And he
46:28
Speaker 1: is happy to hear that they won World War Two,
46:30
Speaker 1: but less happy that everyone he knows is either dead
46:33
Speaker 1: or really really old, and we have a melancholic moment
46:37
Speaker 1: as he eats a chili dog in silent reflection. Credits
46:42
Speaker 1: post credit scene. We're in another lab. It's a modern
46:45
Speaker 1: day lab, and there's the sinister looking fellow who's walking
46:48
Speaker 1: around one of those Dr Frankenstein gurney things, you know,
46:52
Speaker 1: the kind of table that can tilt up so that
46:55
Speaker 1: the monster can can be put onto their feet. You know,
46:58
Speaker 1: Darth Vader had one too, and then they can walk
47:00
Speaker 1: around and stuff. But anyway, the cameras at the back
47:02
Speaker 1: of the table, so we can't see who's on it,
47:04
Speaker 1: and the sinister fellow is saying something about having the
47:06
Speaker 1: perfect weapon at his disposal and then says send the
47:10
Speaker 1: Winter Soldier, and the camera pans around and we see
47:14
Speaker 1: that on that Frankenstein table is Bucky tails barns, and
47:17
Speaker 1: he has a tail, a cyborg tail, and a blank
47:21
Speaker 1: look in his eyes. The end. I love it, um,
47:26
Speaker 1: and I love our similarities. I'm just gonna say, great minds. Yeah,
47:30
Speaker 1: tells us the Winter Soldier is just such a delightful concept.
47:34
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I was limited by my very
47:37
Speaker 1: limited knowledge of the Sonic the Hedgehog, uh Pantheon. So
47:46
Speaker 1: but that was a fun one. I had a lot
47:48
Speaker 1: of fun giving Steve Rogers Sonic the Hedgehog Powers. Yeah,
47:53
Speaker 1: it was a lot of fun. And if you guys
47:55
Speaker 1: had fun with it too, and maybe have an idea
47:57
Speaker 1: of how you would like to bash up Captain America
