Thank You, John Cena: What He Meant to Wrestling, Movies & Millennials · My Third Place Pod

• 0:07
  This is going to be the most awkward intro ever.
• 0:14
  Just let y'all know ahead of time.
• 0:17
  Yeah the vibe. The vibe shifted.
• 0:20
  The vibe has shifted. The vibe is not even the vibe
• 0:23
  anymore. It's just like that's some
• 0:25
  bullshit menace. Thank you for the hard me.
• 0:28
  Appreciate you. Let's go with the usual stuff.
• 0:35
  The usual intro, all right? I don't even know if I can get
• 0:38
  to the intro without just fucking talking.
• 0:40
  Just going off. All right, here we go.
• 0:45
  The lights are twinkling, the Cocos are thick enough to
• 0:48
  question your life choices, and December nostalgia is hitting
• 0:51
  hard in a rerun at the Rugrats Hanukkah Special at 11:30 PM.
• 0:56
  Welcome back to the MPP Podcast episode 266, broadcasting live
• 1:01
  from our little winter Wonderland of chaos, cozy vibes,
• 1:04
  and questionable extension cords.
• 1:06
  We are officially two weeks away from Christmas and three weeks
• 1:11
  away from a brand new year and yes, the birthday of this
• 1:14
  beautiful, ridiculous podcast you've been rocking with since
• 1:20
  day one. The air is cold.
• 1:22
  The lights are out and the whole setup feels ripped straight from
• 1:26
  every holiday special you ever taped off TV onto a worn out
• 1:29
  VHS. We're talking snow day, Grandma
• 1:32
  got run over by reindeer Arthur's perfect Christmas
• 1:35
  frosty dripping slush all over the carpet.
• 1:37
  That iconic Gap holly commercial your brain refused to delete.
• 1:40
  It's already been deleted to delayed and ABC Family still
• 1:43
  calling it 25 Days of Christmas even though they're rebranded 4
• 1:46
  times since. Meanwhile, Mariah Carey, Michael
• 1:50
  Bublé, and the Charlie Brown Christmas soundtracks are
• 1:52
  fighting for Control the Ox score like it's a holiday battle
• 1:54
  Royale. Winter's winning.
• 1:56
  The vibes are vibing in the M3P universe officially in full
• 1:59
  festive mode. But if you're a wrestling fan,
• 2:02
  not us, not us. Nah, we're not in festive, full
• 2:07
  festive mode. You know what, this whole, this
• 2:10
  whole setup right here, this whole episode, it's going to
• 2:13
  shift in just a few. Just letting you all know it's
• 2:17
  one of those nights. It's one of those moments.
• 2:21
  So if you're new here, welcome. Every week we pull up a chair in
• 2:23
  our Cody corner the Internet and dive into the things we love and
• 2:26
  the things that shaped us. Break day.
• 2:28
  We breakdown movies and TV shows from comfort rewatches to brand
• 2:32
  new chaos. We crack open Pokémon halls like
• 2:34
  it's 99 again, flip through comic books hot off the new
• 2:37
  comic book day and jump into marble rivals to build talk,
• 2:40
  build lore and those why was so that's so hard matches.
• 2:44
  We hit wrestling music phantom in the everyday stories that
• 2:48
  make life weird and wonderful. It's part review show, part
• 2:51
  fandom hangout, part diary of everyday adventures, all wrapped
• 2:55
  in a ribbon of pure 92,000 nostalgia.
• 2:58
  Just sync a Friday night at Blockbuster, a fresh pack of

• 4:58
  Look, look. What the hell?
• 5:00
  Just. Happened.
• 5:01
  I mean the obviously the man had he, I know he picked the
• 5:06
  outcome, but God damn. Damn.
• 5:11
  You. Know I'm saying like, but you
• 5:18
  know what, you know he Imma say that out.
• 5:26
  You know me. I know.
• 5:29
  We've been watching. We've been watching this shit
• 5:32
  for a long time. We gonna we gonna let's let's
• 5:36
  just take the fact that we was able to see his first match and
• 5:40
  was able to see his ass. Yeah, You know what I'm saying?
• 5:43
  Yeah. And he did something tonight
• 5:48
  that even that fool Hogan didn't even do.
• 5:52
  He put somebody. He put somebody out.
• 5:54
  Oh, that. Didn't work for him brother.
• 5:57
  You know what I'm saying, and the way I look at it, I know
• 6:00
  some of y'all don't hate hate when I say this thank back to
• 6:05
  when Brock beat the streak. Yeah, and it shot him up to a
• 6:14
  whole nother. This is going to shoot Gunther
• 6:20
  to a whole, you know, I'm saying.
• 6:23
  But on the flip side, it's he he going to get a lot of hate.
• 6:30
  Here he is. I always feel a good Triple H
• 6:34
  gonna get more hate. You heard it already.
• 6:38
  Yeah, you know, and I know many of us, we've, we fucked up right
• 6:44
  now, you know, it was a hell of a match.
• 6:50
  But I didn't expect my boy to go out like that though, you know?
• 6:56
  Hey, Lana. Hey, Menace man, if you're
• 7:07
  listening right now and you're not a wrestling fan checking
• 7:11
  your wrestling friends, they're gonna need it right now.
• 7:16
  We're going through it right now, apparently.
• 7:19
  I mean, it was already a sad week to go to begin with.
• 7:21
  It was already a sad year to begin with.
• 7:23
  And then the match, the show happens and big match on
• 7:29
  happened and we got what we got. It wasn't as bad as I expect it
• 7:39
  to be, you know, like it wasn't one sided.
• 7:44
  It wasn't like shoot the horse in the fucking stable already.
• 7:47
  Shoot the old horse in the stable already and let's get it
• 7:49
  over with. No, it was like old guard versus
• 7:53
  new guard. It was the same thing as Kurt
• 7:55
  Angle versus John Cena coming in there and saying ruthless
• 7:58
  aggression and stuff. Everybody was expect, was hoping
• 8:05
  for John Cena when I wasn't expecting anything.
• 8:07
  I just knew, like, it's been like a long 10 standing
• 8:10
  tradition. Put the other one over, put the
• 8:17
  younger talent over. It's always been like that.
• 8:19
  Yeah. So is like John Cena is, you
• 8:22
  know, old school with the fact that Vince McMahon, he's still
• 8:27
  in that Vince McMahon bind set that, you know, I'm gonna put
• 8:29
  him over stuff. But I mean, still fresh on my
• 8:40
  head. The fact that Brock Lesnar
• 8:42
  kicked his ass earlier in a few months ago and now here we are
• 8:47
  with Gunther and like now these two need to face each other.
• 8:57
  It's isn't there inevitable? Yeah, or Roman Reigns.
• 9:02
  Yeah, Like, you know, he's supposed to like put Roman
• 9:05
  Reigns over and make him look strong.
• 9:07
  All right, Roman Reigns versus Gunther.
• 9:10
  Let's see how that goes. I just like if we're pushing
• 9:16
  him, push him to the Mini Van Gold now.
• 9:19
  Yeah. Championship material.
• 9:21
  I want to see him face against like bigger people other than
• 9:25
  just Jay USO and younger looking people that you know.
• 9:31
  I want him to face the big dog Brock Oba Femi.
• 9:36
  We good, let's continue we. Good.
• 9:39
  Let's continue. Shit.
• 9:41
  Yeah, we're that. We're that doing.
• 9:42
  This year don't make no sense to me though.
• 9:47
  What did what part? The whole tapping out.
• 9:53
  He never tapped out his own career, though.
• 9:56
  Right, right, right. I guess he had to, you know?
• 9:59
  2nd oh, here's the thing that I fucking loved everything about.
• 10:07
  It was the usual John Cena stuff, but you're forgetting
• 10:11
  that he said the entire time. Every forgetting that he said
• 10:15
  the entire time. He's getting old.
• 10:17
  He can no longer go the way he wants to.
• 10:19
  He's starting getting slower, you know?
• 10:22
  Yeah, so you heard, you heard the fucking like crowd say super
• 10:27
  Cena. Super Cena.
• 10:28
  Yeah. He could barely lift him up.
• 10:32
  He was, he was Randy Durham from the wrestler getting old.
• 10:37
  He was. He was no longer able to do what
• 10:40
  he was able to do when he was younger.
• 10:43
  We got the usual booze by cheers, Boo cheer, Boo cheer,
• 10:50
  obviously. And then we got him Gunther
• 10:55
  doing the sleeper. OK, here comes Cena.
• 10:58
  You know he's going to kick right out of it.
• 11:00
  He's going to get out of it like he always does because he's
• 11:02
  super Cena. Let's go.
• 11:05
  And then it slowed down. He slowed him down a bit and
• 11:09
  you're just like, oh, shit. And that's when I knew it was
• 11:12
  like, oh, you can attack son of a bitch, damn it.
• 11:18
  And then he did. And I'm just like, that sucks
• 11:21
  right there. Absolute cinema.
• 11:26
  Yeah, just, you know, it sucks because everybody, you saw the
• 11:33
  crowd. You saw the crowd just as much
• 11:35
  as you saw when I'm gonna take her fucking.
• 11:39
  Same reaction. It was the same.
• 11:41
  Reaction. Yeah, same reaction.
• 11:44
  It was like, Oh my God, you know, like, and I'm just sitting
• 11:46
  there like he's tapping out. Like, why is he?
• 11:51
  I was like no OK thank you. I had to exit out of the bed.
• 11:58
  Kept glitching so I had to get out.
• 12:03
  The app restarted. I.
• 12:06
  Bet look at the ad. So that's 50 seconds so.
• 12:12
  Fucking damn it. There's my bestie.
• 12:17
  Becca's not OK. Yeah, I know.
• 12:19
  Well, we're not OK either. Hey, though, anybody wants to
• 12:28
  come on here and tell us how you're feeling, you're more than
• 12:32
  welcome to. I mean, shit, dude, I was like
• 12:41
  all week, ESPN, all the all the junkets that he's been going on.
• 12:46
  Yeah, on that tour, on that dress release, everything he's
• 12:50
  been talking about, the songs, the freaking moment.
• 12:55
  And I'm just like, he's been doing a lot of talk for a guy
• 13:01
  who's always been around and you know, like this is I get his
• 13:05
  last match, his last time, everything.
• 13:08
  So there's every as soon he came out, I balled.
• 13:10
  I fucking hell, they made us wait a fucking few seconds.
• 13:17
  I'm like, they're gonna make us wait.
• 13:18
  They're gonna make us wait the lights go out.
• 13:24
  I'm like, finally. Geez.
• 13:27
  But he's been doing all this talk and he never does that.
• 13:30
  And there it is. He's gonna lose tonight.
• 13:34
  Oh, shit. All right, I was crying.
• 13:37
  Leanna was crying. Oh my.
• 13:39
  She. Dang she.
• 13:40
  Knew she knew. So I guess it was like, Oh my
• 13:44
  God, it was like she knew. Everybody knew.
• 13:50
  So I bought the last match Funko Pop I.
• 13:56
  Preordered it, yeah. Yeah, I preordered it.
• 14:00
  Estimated time of arrival September of 2026.
• 14:04
  That's a damn shame, I hate when they do.
• 14:08
  Hey, no, no, no, I get, I get it.
• 14:10
  I was the same thing that happened to me when I
• 14:12
  pre-ordered that that what? 20-30 year anniversary of Eminem
• 14:21
  for a mile or the 2020 year? 20 year anniversary of a mile?
• 14:25
  2022, yeah, 20 year anniversary of a mile.
• 14:28
  What's the fuck? Yeah, they pulled the cheat on
• 14:30
  me with that. They throwback Steve Austin.
• 14:36
  Blood from a stone took like for the two months.
• 14:45
  Dad, I was expecting this to take like 8 months, nine months.
• 14:48
  That's. Crazy.
• 14:50
  September of 2027 I get. This and I'm probably.
• 14:53
  Going to forget about it. They did, probably.
• 14:55
  Going to forget about it by that time.
• 14:57
  They did wrong for this shit. Maybe these two months September
• 15:01
  26th the they doing. Be back.
• 15:05
  I know, right? I'm like, by the time I get
• 15:09
  here, I'd be like, oh, hey, there's a package for me.
• 15:12
  Oh, look at that. It's a Funko Pop that they
• 15:14
  ordered like fucking years ago. Yeah, I would put it right next
• 15:20
  to him right there. Oh shit, well then let me tell
• 15:31
  you what else is on the fucking gift bag this week.
• 15:34
  Like I said, pod decks question designed to start wholesome and
• 15:37
  immediately spiral. You know the rules.
• 15:38
  Supergirl and Street Fighter trailer reactions, hope, hype
• 15:42
  and at least one. OK but why though?
• 15:45
  Moment. Marlboro rival season 5.5 and 6
• 15:49
  Rogue bringing that southern belle smoke, Deadpool breaking
• 15:52
  the 4th wall and us breaking down who's actually broken John
• 15:56
  Cena Sigh. Nice main event reactions.
• 15:58
  Feelings were felt, respect was given, goosebumps were earned.
• 16:02
  You know what's funny is that the Rock finally showed up but
• 16:09
  hasn't showed up for like the entire year and then he's like
• 16:12
  puts out of again a video for John Cena.
• 16:15
  It's like, oh, he finally showed up.
• 16:17
  He. Showed up, so he didn't want to.
• 16:23
  He didn't want to learn to wrestle Travis.
• 16:27
  Yeah, that's what I've been hearing.
• 16:28
  He Booker T Booker T was was training him and he didn't want
• 16:34
  to do it 'cause he couldn't handle it, you know?
• 16:38
  So that's what, that's why I know.
• 16:40
  Oh, she was scrapped. And now I have more respect for
• 16:43
  Logan Paul and Jelly Roll. Yeah, they acted.
• 16:49
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. He had that muffin had no been
• 16:53
  been in there in the first place.
• 16:56
  There's movies turning 30 this year.
• 16:58
  I took that out for some, others for something else.
• 17:01
  Albums turning 25, the soundtracks that raised us and
• 17:04
  still hit way harder than they should.
• 17:07
  And if we have the time, maybe we'll do next week.
• 17:09
  I don't know. Spotify, Rap, Chaos Exposed,
• 17:12
  playlist, Questionable Top, Artisan 0.
• 17:14
  Shame we're doing it all. I hate to cut you off.
• 17:17
  Glancing at the Post show, Triple H just walked out.
• 17:22
  Everybody in that crowd is like. Boo, fuck him.
• 17:31
  Are they booing him? Yeah, yeah, they, they doing
• 17:34
  this, They doing this, they're like, damn.
• 17:38
  Yeah, he was laughing at the entire time.
• 17:40
  Yeah, maybe it was Cena who wanted to.
• 17:42
  What it when his claim it wouldn't?
• 17:44
  It wasn't HS Kyle though. From what I understand John had
• 17:49
  credit control this whole retirement tour though, so.
• 17:52
  Right. So it still sucks.
• 17:55
  I know. Yeah, I know, I know.
• 17:57
  All right, man, we like to get things off with a little
• 18:05
  icebreaker from our projects, our sacred stack of random
• 18:09
  questions, chaos prompts, and why would anyone ask this?
• 18:12
  Conversation starters? It's our version of passing
• 18:14
  notes in class or flipping through a Tiger Beat quiz while
• 18:18
  waiting for your hot cocoa Pop Tart to cool down.
• 18:20
  But now we've leveled up because this isn't just our warm up
• 18:23
  anymore. It's yours too.
• 18:26
  Welcome to the Projects Question of the Week mashup where we pull
• 18:29
  a question card causing into the digital student snowstorm of
• 18:31
  Instagram, TikTok drives, Blue Sky, YouTube, and Spotify and
• 18:35
  let the entire Entropy community cook your take, your memories,
• 18:39
  your intentional opinions. We read them, react to them,
• 18:41
  celebrate them, and occasionally wonder why we gave you this much
• 18:43
  power. But that's the fun.
• 18:46
  It's giant. It's a giant group chat where we
• 18:48
  all accidentally over share and then just keep going like
• 18:51
  nothing that ever happened. Sometimes we ignore it like last
• 18:55
  week. Other times, OK, we react to it.
• 18:58
  So buckle up. Our answer to just the
• 19:00
  beginning. Yours or what?
• 19:01
  Make this segment legendary. How was your week?
• 19:05
  How was what was your win for the week?
• 19:07
  What was your win for the week? Pretty good.
• 19:14
  Pretty good. Better than this fucking night
• 19:17
  that's happening right now. Actually, I named the
• 19:25
  description of the podcast of this thing right here is
• 19:28
  fucking. Thank you, Cena.
• 19:29
  Yeah. So we're about to get like a
• 19:31
  bunch of people just coming in here.
• 19:33
  That's what's up. No.
• 19:35
  So, yeah. So everything's good.
• 19:38
  The win for the week. I don't know, man.
• 19:41
  It's like I'm here. I slept a week, pretty much.
• 19:51
  It's been good so far. No big deal.
• 19:56
  Yeah. I'm basically how we got just
• 19:57
  looked at Christian movies on a week.
• 20:05
  Yeah, like Die Hard. I watched Die Hard, Die Hard 2
• 20:08
  yesterday. Did you?
• 20:11
  Yeah, that's fine. Same shit that happened the same
• 20:14
  guy twice. Right.
• 20:29
  5 Nights of Freddy's 2. Pretty good speaking.
• 20:45
  I just bought Five Nights at Freddy one last night.
• 20:50
  Nice. Not gonna watch it?
• 20:51
  Yeah. Well, it was on sale, so I said
• 20:54
  I'm gonna get this motherfucker. Yeah, something I'll show you
• 21:02
  later on, something that was on sale for me.
• 21:04
  All right, let's keep it going. When this time of year gets
• 21:09
  heavy, what you do to get through it all right here the
• 21:14
  answer is Becca's asleep because she sleeps.
• 21:19
  True, Nick says. I'm sure I don't have the
• 21:22
  elegance of habits in this department.
• 21:24
  When I am able, I drive anywhere.
• 21:26
  I need the illusion of escape. It's not the destination, is the
• 21:29
  process, the leaving. But the less people around, the
• 21:32
  better. Isn't the loud music and watch
• 21:34
  the scenery change. Eventually I will feel like I
• 21:36
  can breathe. The music changes from loud to
• 21:38
  something beautiful like Miss Simone, and I feel functional
• 21:41
  again. That's fucking awesome.
• 21:46
  Jane says. Like Knicks.
• 21:48
  I don't think my habits around this is the healthiest.
• 21:50
  Exactly. Well, I know they aren't, but
• 21:53
  hey, I'm a Capricorn. I know what that means, but OK.
• 21:58
  Basically, I'm just fighting through, like most of them 365
• 22:02
  other days in the year. Listening to music and dance
• 22:04
  helps. Exactly.
• 22:06
  It does. It really does.
• 22:08
  We got Lauren in the building. Welcome in Lauren.
• 22:10
  How you doing crazy lady 33 says scream in my car because you
• 22:16
  need to let that you need to let it out in your car.
• 22:21
  Just do a Primal Scream like there you go right if you need
• 22:30
  to, Menace says listening to my favorite music or podcast
• 22:34
  episode for some laughter. I also call her either in a
• 22:36
  physical coloring book or on my coloring map.
• 22:40
  I try to check on people just to let them know how I'm thinking
• 22:42
  about them. Hey bestie.
• 22:45
  Hey Bestel, Leanna says. I try to pay attention to what
• 22:48
  my body needs. Water, sleep, food, or just to
• 22:51
  relax. Do calming things like video
• 22:53
  games, coloring, or talking to my favorite person to help
• 22:55
  uplift me. Damn right.
• 22:58
  Helping others always help pull me out of whatever I'm going
• 23:01
  through. And don't forget, there's always
• 23:03
  music therapy. There's always music therapy.
• 23:06
  I love that. Thank you for the heart.
• 23:07
  We really appreciate it. Then we have Miss T who says
• 23:14
  punt. She likes to punt things or cry,
• 23:20
  but punt, punt mostly punt. She likes to punt things like
• 23:24
  kick, you know, goal, field goal, like whatever is there,
• 23:35
  what's yours? Mostly.
• 23:38
  Is music therapy really? Music therapy, All right, Cool,
• 23:42
  cool, cool. Yeah, Music therapy.
• 23:47
  Always, always listening to like, Jesus.
• 23:51
  This is why our freaking Spotify rap is like fucking crazy,
• 23:56
  because our music therapy is just the craziest, most thing
• 24:00
  ever. I have like 60 or 70 playlists.
• 24:10
  Don't worry, I got to. Music every the best.
• 24:14
  And the fact that like some of these songs are in the same
• 24:18
  playlist over and over and over again, it's like, Oh yeah, I
• 24:20
  don't want it this year. I don't want it this year and I
• 24:22
  want it this year. I feel like listening to this
• 24:24
  year and then, you know, it's the same songs over and that's
• 24:27
  not really. There's a usual playlist that I
• 24:30
  have all the time where screaming and that entire
• 24:35
  playlist happened to be the top 100.
• 24:39
  That's all I'm listening to. And this is like, oh, so it's
• 24:41
  the same playlist. OK, sure, why not?
• 24:45
  Also gaming. That's what gets me through it.
• 24:49
  Like I, I love gaming and obviously from last year up
• 24:52
  until now fucking now, it's just, you know, it got fun again
• 25:02
  basically. Yeah.
• 25:04
  Like around this time it always gets fun because you know, it's
• 25:06
  like I'm having fun again. Yes, Music, gaming, watching
• 25:12
  movies, sleeping, everything, all that in between.
• 25:15
  Like Nick says, she's like going to drives.
• 25:18
  I like, I love going on a drive. Just drive away from home and
• 25:21
  just come back in a few hours. It's like, OK, I'm good.
• 25:25
  Stop graming in the car and everything scream to Slipknot
• 25:30
  corn, all that the all the alternative music from back in
• 25:33
  the 90s. Next question, what's something
• 25:38
  you learned about yourself in 2025 that surprised you?
• 25:41
  Lala Gunning says taking the High Road, not giving me my any
• 25:46
  to any sign toxic as well as not changing people who showed me
• 25:50
  they don't care about me. Tay says that I need to come
• 25:55
  first. Jen live free or die hard.
• 26:00
  Says I can survive anything. That's great, Jen.
• 26:04
  Victoria says my family hates me.
• 26:09
  OK. Menace says I need to learn
• 26:13
  leaning lean on things. Menace says I leave.
• 26:19
  Jesus Christ, I can't talk. See, there's no whole fucking
• 26:22
  John Cena thing that happened earlier.
• 26:23
  That's why I'm. Still pissed off.
• 26:25
  I learned to lean on those who care about you.
• 26:28
  This So what? Where did the whole thing I need
• 26:31
  to learn. Oh shit, Leanna says.
• 26:37
  I learned that. There it is.
• 26:39
  I learned to let go what doesn't bring me joy.
• 26:41
  You don't need a lot of people in your life just to select for
• 26:44
  you that really care about you. You're absolutely right, Leanna,
• 26:47
  Right. A lot.
• 26:48
  You know, you don't need a lot of people at all.
• 26:51
  You don't need like, you don't need 5050 hundred people, you
• 26:55
  don't need a whole group of people.
• 26:57
  You don't. Need a damn right?
• 26:59
  Family. You just.
• 27:00
  Need. You just need your few friends
• 27:04
  that you have there. Yeah, that's right.
• 27:07
  Either you know. Damn right, you know, Yeah,
• 27:13
  just. Select people that truly care
• 27:16
  about you, not like a whole group that you don't know of.
• 27:22
  There's no. Other people do medal face base,
• 27:24
  exactly your little face base, Terry says.
• 27:32
  Walking away from toxic people. A that's what we thought.
• 27:34
  That's what we're talking about right there.
• 27:36
  Family without the angst that I used to have after doing it.
• 27:40
  I am priority outside of God. Exactly.
• 27:44
  There it is. What's something I learned about
• 27:52
  yourself 25 A surprise to you, Jake, Greg, I.
• 27:57
  Can't talk. I would expect none might say my
• 28:02
  strength and resiliency there. You go.
• 28:06
  There you go. From the shit I've been through,
• 28:11
  you know there's be able to still be here.
• 28:18
  You know I'm saying anything. It gave me tell the truth, but
• 28:27
  I'm still here. Sir, we love that you're still
• 28:31
  here. Read it.
• 28:36
  Something that surprised me in 2025 that I learned about
• 28:40
  myself, that I love to work. I have not taken a day off since
• 28:48
  I got back. Yeah.
• 28:51
  In January, missing no days off of here.
• 29:02
  No, because I I want the podcast to keep going.
• 29:07
  We're just spoke on a wheel. I want it to keep going.
• 29:11
  I want it to keep turning. So that's why I post episodes
• 29:18
  Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, Sundays, you know,
• 29:22
  like that. Like we do episodes on
• 29:23
  Wednesdays, we do episodes on Saturdays, but we post them on
• 29:27
  Thursday and Sunday. Sometimes it's three episodes in
• 29:33
  one week with Marvel rivals in there with the other podcast and
• 29:40
  it just keep going. It's like, I want to have, you
• 29:43
  know, pretty soon we're going to do a bonus episode, of course,
• 29:47
  but if there's another time that I don't get to be on here, I'll
• 29:52
  post a bonus episode. But same times like I don't want
• 29:55
  to because then I'll be like, what?
• 29:57
  I miss, man, I miss doing this podcast.
• 30:01
  And even when you're not around, like I miss doing it.
• 30:05
  Like I feel like I need to do it.
• 30:07
  I feel like I need to work. I feel like I need to, like,
• 30:11
  record myself doing something, saying something, talking about
• 30:15
  something. So like that one time that you
• 30:19
  were absent and I'm just like, what the hell am I supposed to
• 30:22
  do? Just like, right.
• 30:26
  No, it wasn't even that. It was like, yeah, I know.
• 30:28
  You told me that you need to take a break.
• 30:30
  I was like, alright, that's cool.
• 30:31
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 30:32
  But at the same time I work I. Work right?
• 30:38
  I feel like I want to work, you know, even if menace can't make
• 30:43
  either, like I, I feel like I want to work Where, where, what
• 30:46
  are we doing? Like, all right, here we go.
• 30:49
  Start stuff going on my head, start building stuff like, all
• 30:53
  right, let's put it this down. Let's organize it, put it down
• 30:57
  on paper, put it down the computer and then repeat it
• 30:59
  back. And it's like, yes, this is what
• 31:01
  I wanted to do. Dumbs and all that bullshit will
• 31:04
  come out and I won't. It comes out as like, oh shit,
• 31:09
  you know, you fucked up on this and fucked up on that, but still
• 31:12
  it's out there. I still need to put something
• 31:14
  out there. I wanted to put something out
• 31:16
  there because I wanted to have something out there.
• 31:23
  It for the this past year, the whole podcast have been
• 31:27
  consistent. Every week there's been an
• 31:31
  episode, 2 episodes, 3 episodes a week.
• 31:36
  We have not missed out on anything.
• 31:37
  And if we did, it's like, all right, you know what?
• 31:39
  We needed that break, right? What else?
• 31:45
  And something that I learned about.
• 31:47
  And because of that, I learned that I love working.
• 31:52
  And even now, like usually it takes at the end of the year for
• 31:58
  me to like think of the road map for next year.
• 32:01
  It. Dawned on me that we're almost
• 32:05
  at the end of the year let's start working on the road map
• 32:08
  now. And like you were there last
• 32:10
  night and when I was dreaming and I said like, all right, this
• 32:13
  is what I want done for next year and I'm already organizing
• 32:17
  and stuff. So see this is I'm I'm I'm a
• 32:21
  workaholic, I guess, of the podcast.
• 32:26
  Yeah. You guess you could say that
• 32:27
  that's what I learned about myself that I like to work.
• 32:29
  Yeah. No, but I mean, but how you I
• 32:36
  would like was coming up with stuff behind the scenes like you
• 32:39
  message me and say what about this or what about this?
• 32:42
  Ain't nothing. Ain't nothing wrong with that
• 32:44

• 32:47
  outlet, bro. You know, I'm saying like, tell
• 32:51
  you truth, this is my outlet. I said it a million times.
• 32:55

• 32:59

• 33:02
  We're talking about things we love to talk about.

• 33:11
  craziness in there every once in a while.
• 33:13
  You know, keep your toes, keep them laughing.
• 33:16
  So ain't nothing wrong with this shit.
• 33:17
  It's all good. It is.

  Freaking David Dasham is playing and Bison and I'm like, this
• 39:21
  motherfucker looks like Raul Julie already.
• 39:24
  He do. He lives the part.
• 39:27
  He looks like a fucking villain in every movie.
• 39:30
  It's either him or the guy that played the final boss in Scott
• 39:37
  Pilgrim was The World. Yeah.
• 39:40
  That guy that's always in the West Anderson movies, but it's
• 39:45
  like it's him or that other guy as David Dasham or this other
• 39:48
  guy who was just like, every time I see him, he's a fucking
• 39:51
  douchebag, hippie, hipster preppie motherfucker.
• 39:55
  Yeah. And I just hate him.
• 39:57
  But same time, like, oh, he's a good actor.

• 40:17
  looks good. He has muscles now because he
• 40:20
  went from The Recruit on Netflix to this and he looks amazing.
• 40:25

  to see her how she works, all that stuff.
• 44:04
  It's awesome. She gets to fucking absorb
• 44:06
  powers and use them. Some people's, not all of them.
• 44:11
  And I was like, all right, awesome, this is great, you
• 44:13
  know? And then everybody forgot about
• 44:16
  Rogue once the trailer for Season 6 came out.
• 44:23
  Yeah, at the award show. Because it's Deadpool, right?
• 44:28
  Like that Deadpool came out and like, what's up, mother?
• 44:33
  You know, Like, you know, fucking talking to breaking the
• 44:37
  4th wall and shit talking to you guys and saying like, Oh yeah,
• 44:41
  I'm gonna be on in season 6. So everybody you obviously going
• 44:47
  to TikTok and finding trying to find all the videos of Rogue and
• 44:50
  all the stuff to talk about. No, there's all reactions with
• 44:53
  Deadpool. Everybody going like, Oh my God,
• 44:55
  losing their minds. I'm just sitting there like
• 44:56
  really? We waited a whole fucking year
• 44:59
  for fucking Gambit and Rogue to come out for that whole trailer
• 45:03
  saying like a week and a half, but still like we waited a whole
• 45:09
  year for this And then you just bring out Deadpool like nothing,
• 45:13
  right? Just fuck it, you're Deadpool.
• 45:17
  And usually we wait. We wait until the character
• 45:24
  comes out and stuff like when Season 5.5 came out with Rogue
• 45:29
  and stuff, we got all the characters on there.
• 45:33
  And then you see a character that's locked in one of the
• 45:36
  screens and I'm like, what the hell is that?
• 45:39
  Is that That's Deadpool. He's already in the game.
• 45:42
  He's locked. He's already, he's already in
• 45:44
  the game, but he's locked and he's in the DPS duelist mode.
• 45:51
  And then like you have your strike team and everything.
• 45:53
  He's in your strike team already.
• 45:55
  What? Like what the fuck?
• 46:00
  This motherfucker is going to come out in season 6, January 12
• 46:05
  going to change stuff was like, Oh yeah, I'm not supposed to be
• 46:07
  here because he's Deadpool. He's Deadpool.
• 46:10
  He's going to fuck in. He's going to fuck enough for
• 46:12
  everybody. You could change enough for
• 46:15
  everybody. The funniest thing is going to
• 46:16
  be him coming in there and be like, I'm a healer.
• 46:21
  Like what? OK, that's I guess.
• 46:24
  He has two swords, a pistol, and he's just talking to the camera
• 46:29
  the entire time and that's fucking hilarious to me.
• 46:33
  I love it. The Deadpool trailer reaction.
• 46:37
  I love it. I just hate the fact that it
• 46:39
  came out before like during the rogue thing and now the rogue is
• 46:44
  thing is like can't fucking see it.
• 46:49
  Also little Easter egg when Hey bad Meg how you doing when
• 46:55
  Gambit dies in the game and Rogue is on your team?
• 47:01
  She says the exact line she says in X-Men 97.
• 47:05
  Oh no, I can't feel you. Dang, sitting there like Hop,
• 47:12
  that's fun stuff. And I was playing in the entire
• 47:19
  night, the entire time I was playing.
• 47:21
  Every time Gambit died, she said it.
• 47:23
  I'm just like, dude, can we not fucking asshole?
• 47:28
  This is bringing back fucking traumatic memories of all that
• 47:32
  stuff. Yeah, yeah.
• 47:34
  Megs, how you doing? Welcome in how you how you doing
• 47:37
  tonight? Thank you for the Spongebob's
• 47:40
  and the live. We obviously did the whole
• 47:46
  fucking John Cena bullshit. So season 6 of Deadpool, it's
• 47:50
  gonna be awesome. I got something to talk about.
• 47:54
  We're supposed to do movies that turned something something
• 47:56
  something 30 years old. But you know what?
• 48:00
  I'm gonna do something a little different right now.
• 48:03
  So, you know, we're going to try a little something different on
• 48:06
  the show right now. You know, we love streaming.
• 48:15
  We love convenience. We love clicking play and
• 48:17
  pretending you're we're going to watch one episode and suddenly
• 48:19
  it's 3:00 AM. But today we're going back, back
• 48:23
  to physical media, back to DVD's, back to this feeling of
• 48:27
  cracking up in a case, flipping through the insert, navigating
• 48:30
  the menu like is a video game and realizing oh wow, this thing
• 48:34
  has commentary tracks. So I picked up 4 DVD's
• 48:39
  specifically to review on this podcast.
• 48:43
  Not just the movies, but the special features, the behind the
• 48:46
  scenes stuff the sing streaming doesn't really care about
• 48:48
  anymore. And this is at the antique
• 48:51
  store. You want to know how much they
• 48:53
  were the cost? Each DVD cost a dollar.
• 49:00
  Right. Ain't bad though.
• 49:02
  Bad and bad. So this is less movie review and
• 49:09
  more why owning this still matters.
• 49:12
  If you grew up rewinding disc, watching deleted scenes twice or
• 49:16
  falling asleep to many music, this one's for you.
• 49:19
  So the first one on here is because I got to show it The
• 49:27
  Polar Express, you know, $2.00. Let's start.
• 49:36
  Let's start with the most seasonal one of the bunch, the
• 49:39
  most polar expressed. This duty is not just press play
• 49:43
  and cry quietly about childhood. This thing is stacked.
• 49:46
  You got feature as like You Look Familiar, which dives into how
• 49:50
  the cast becomes animated characters, early motion capture
• 49:55
  stuff that was honestly wild for his time.
• 49:59
  Then there's a genuine Ticket Ride, which is full behind the
• 50:02
  scenes magic. This is the kind of stuff that
• 50:04
  makes you appreciate how much work went to something we now
• 50:07
  come truly throw on every December.
• 50:13
  They even lean into interactivity, stocking stuffer
• 50:16
  scavenger, scavenger hunts, challenges, games, extra songs,
• 50:21
  and a Josh Groban performance of Believe that feels like a time
• 50:24
  capsule of early 2000s movies. Music streaming gives you the
• 50:30
  movie. The DVD gives you the entire
• 50:32
  holiday experience. This thing is basically a
• 50:34
  Christmas museum on the disc. Right.
• 50:39
  Next one, Fantastic Four is a great example of how physical
• 50:46
  media has kind of come back around the original 2005 DVD.
• 50:51
  Not exactly overflowing with extras, but never newer
• 50:54
  physical, really different story deleted scenes, gag Rios, which
• 50:59
  honestly might be the best part. Behind the scenes featurettes.
• 51:03
  Full audio commentary from director and production team.
• 51:05
  We get to know about everything. Basically.
• 51:07
  This is why I love this stuff. Yeah.
• 51:10
  And it's more important because commentary tracks used to be
• 51:14
  standard. Now they're rare.
• 51:17
  Like, you know, Like, you know, I love commentary.
• 51:21
  Like, I love knowing that these people had fun going in there
• 51:26
  and, like, all that stuff. Yeah.
• 51:28
  Physical. Physical media is where studios
• 51:30
  still reward fans who want to know why scenes were cut, how
• 51:34
  effects were done and what worked and what absolutely did
• 51:38
  not. Next one X-Men.
• 51:45
  Well, Peter, Gene. I picked up all the freaking
• 51:50
  classics. If they're they're all classics,
• 51:53
  they're DVDs. If you own X-Men DVDs back in
• 51:56
  the day, you already know these things were basically film
• 51:58
  school. Multiple commentary tracks, long
• 52:02
  behind the scenes documentaries. Look this.
• 52:06
  Look at this. Cover on a big deal.
• 52:09
  Freaking beautiful. I used to have that one too.
• 52:16
  They signed DVD. How much was this $2.00 at the
• 52:20
  antique store? Hold on.
• 52:27
  Oh shit did it wrong. OK, so multiple commentary
• 52:32
  tracks long behind the scenes documentaries, deleted scenes,
• 52:36
  alternate footage, galleries, artwork, menus.
• 52:38
  You actually wanted to explore X-Men?
• 52:42
  The last stand to this edition. Three out in the endings.
• 52:47
  Commentary explaining why each one existed.
• 52:48
  Around 10 deleted scenes and this still blows my mind. 100
• 52:53
  page commemorative comic written by Stan Lee.
• 52:57
  That's not bonus feature, that's the love letter to fans.
• 53:00
  Streaming doesn't do that. Streaming barely tells you who
• 53:02
  directed the movie. And finally, Superman Returns,
• 53:10
  which might quietly be one of the most underrated physical
• 53:13
  releases of its era. Yeah.
• 53:15
  The double disc DVD has over 3 hours of bonus content.
• 53:20
  Not fluff. Actual deep dive into
• 53:22
  production, direction, casting, the pressure of reviving
• 53:26
  Superman. And if you ever seen the
• 53:28
  Ultimate Collector's Edition that includes documentary, look
• 53:31
  Up in the sky, the amazing story of Superman.
• 53:33
  That's franchise history. That's context.
• 53:35
  That's something you sit with. This is the kind of content
• 53:38
  collectors live for. So This is why physical media
• 53:43
  still matters to us. Buying physical media isn't
• 53:47
  about rejecting streaming, it's about owning the full
• 53:50
  experience. Most more special features and
• 53:53
  streaming commentaries, Deleting documentaries, Content
• 53:56
  performance. No surprise removals.
• 53:59
  Exclusive extras usually can't get anywhere else.
• 54:03
  Collector value, Artwork, paging booklets, steel books, rituals,
• 54:07
  menus, bonus features, falling asleep to DVD loop music.
• 54:11
  There's something comforting about that.
• 54:13
  You know what? While we're at it, $0.50 should
• 54:15
  just put it out on DVD already. Put it like some bonus feature,
• 54:21
  put some deleted scenes, put the you know, that's why I made this
• 54:25
  movie. And if you ever see him again,
• 54:28
  contact this number. Deleted scenes of the fucking
• 54:39
  the jurors talking hellish. It's being stupid as hell.
• 54:43
  Yeah, yeah. Because they were fans.
• 54:47
  Right, Dick? Oh, he hit her all the time.
• 54:53
  That's not, no, I was like, we it's not gonna break dials.
• 54:56
  Not it's not to you, motherfucker.
• 54:57
  You're it's your wife all the time, asshole.
• 55:04
  You think that shit was normal? I'm like, how dare you fucking
• 55:08
  hit Cassie. Right.
• 55:14
  I'm like Brian Leslie. Why'd you let her do that?
• 55:17
  Why? And that one song he did,
• 55:26
  Diamond Girl, was for her. What's about her?
• 55:28
  Yeah. And I'm like, damn dude, you.
• 55:32
  Just a fucking client. There's so much stuff.
• 55:36
  There's so much stuff. How he liked to date his nemesis
• 55:42
  girlfriends, how he pregnant Tupac X They weren't
• 55:52
  romantically involved, but at the same time they had a baby
• 55:55
  together. Like, huh?
• 56:06
  Everything about this dude is. Fun just made me stick to my
• 56:08
  stomach though. Everything about this dude,
• 56:11
  everything. A real day, bro, A real day.
• 56:15
  Like realizing what just happened, realizing like all
• 56:18
  this shit and hitting at her and hitting her, hitting her in the
• 56:22
  head, like, oh shit, Does that mean that I got like, yes, it
• 56:26
  does, honey. Yeah.
• 56:29
  But she's not. She doesn't want to fucking
• 56:31
  grasp it. Yeah.
• 56:33
  Because then if he does, then it's true.
• 56:37
  Like she lived her life without knowing the shit and now fucking
• 56:42
  out of the blue somebody fucking messages her.
• 56:44
  It's like, yeah dude, you were just you were.
• 56:48
  Damn. I would love to talk about this
• 56:54
  documentary, but I just don't feel like this the right time.
• 56:59
  But the fact that we watch documentaries all year long
• 57:03
  fucking the Vince McMahon thing still refresh my head.
• 57:07
  From the October of last year to now, the.
• 57:10
  Willie. You would watch it again.
• 57:12
  The William White fucking story. I'm not.
• 57:18
  No comment about that. Yeah, Yeah, no comment about
• 57:26
  that one. But yeah, I'm glad there's a
• 57:27
  documentary. All right, so there's a lot of
• 57:35
  other stuff too, the other documentaries that have come out
• 57:38
  recently on Netflix and I'm just like this what Netflix going to
• 57:41
  be about pretty soon just documentaries and we're.
• 57:43
  Just like. Reacting to them.
• 57:45
  Yeah. But these DVD's, so the so that
• 57:51
  was us dipping our toes back into physical media.
• 57:54
  DVD bonus features, commentaries, all the good stuff
• 57:56
  that reminds your movies used to come with homework.
• 58:01
  That's why we have podcast now because we love doing the
• 58:05
  homework, but it was fun homework.
• 58:10
  This was something new for us and honestly, it's kind of
• 58:13
  reminded us why we fell in love with movies in the 1st place.
• 58:16
  Not just watching them, but learning how they were made here
• 58:19
  in the cost here in the cast talking over each other and
• 58:23
  discovering things that never made the final cut.
• 58:26
  This isn't about saying streaming is bad, it's about
• 58:28
  saying physical media still has a place and sometimes it does it
• 58:32
  better. While we're talking about that,
• 58:38
  I went to, like I told you, I went to the antique store, got
• 58:41
  those because they were right there, OK?
• 58:46
  And I said, you know what? I want to get the Superman
• 58:48
  movie, the one that just came out with James Sun.
• 58:51
  OK, let me go look for it. Went to Target.
• 58:55
  They don't sell DVDs anymore. They sell records.
• 59:00
  They sell CDs, they don't sell DVDs anymore.
• 59:04
  That shit is weird. Went to Best Buy, they don't
• 59:09
  sell DVDs anymore. They sell CDs.
• 59:14
  They sell tech, car stereos, fucking DVD players, PlayStation
• 59:27
  games, but they don't sell DVDs anymore.
• 59:34
  The only other place, second in Charles, where I used to get on
• 59:37
  my Pokémon cards. But they don't sell new
• 59:40
  releases. They sell old stuff.
• 59:42
  You see, we used at the same time $7.00 like OK antique
• 59:50
  store, $1.00 like you, just old, old, you could have it OK, $0.50
• 59:57
  whatever. Second in Charles, more like it.
• 1:00:02
  Came out 2010 years ago. Here you go.
• 1:00:05
  Like, all right, it's $7.00. That's fine.
• 1:00:09
  But no Superman movie. It's like, all right, where can
• 1:00:13
  I find this? Walmart.
• 1:00:14
  Oh, yeah, Walmart has DVDs still.
• 1:00:17
  They still sell them. Yeah.
• 1:00:18
  So I'm gonna go there soon, but I wanted to get the thing, so I
• 1:00:24
  went all over. All over.
• 1:00:25
  Creation today. Look for them.
• 1:00:27
  Nothing. So it's there.
• 1:00:32
  So yeah, streaming isn't bad. It's just the fact that, you
• 1:00:35
  know, we said this a few weeks ago, one of these, our Wi-Fi
• 1:00:40
  went out, mine went out for hours.
• 1:00:46
  I had nothing to do because I I'm, I heavily rely on
• 1:00:52
  streaming. So either I had my fucking
• 1:00:55
  phone, watched it on Netflix or and that was it.
• 1:00:59
  And I was just like, this just sucks because I don't want to
• 1:01:01
  watch anything on Netflix. Like what if I had a DVD, You
• 1:01:07
  know, I have the PlayStation and what if I wanted to watch
• 1:01:09
  something here? No, nothing.
• 1:01:14
  I haven't really realized that yours went out for like a few
• 1:01:17
  hours. Mine went out for like the
• 1:01:19
  entire day. So I was looking for something
• 1:01:21
  to do. I fell asleep the entire day
• 1:01:23
  because I was bored. So like you know what if this
• 1:01:29
  happens again? Like I need I have these for now
• 1:01:35
  but I need my I need like. That's the benefit I haven't
• 1:01:40
  added, you know what I'm saying? Cuz and that was gonna be my
• 1:01:44
  next thing. You have a lot of DVD's and
• 1:01:49
  we're going to do this pretty soon that you know we're going
• 1:01:51
  to out snap between weeks. I'm going to come out with
• 1:01:54
  movies that I buy because of better features.
• 1:01:58
  You have DVD's already that are up there so you're going to
• 1:02:01
  review some of them with the special features as well.
• 1:02:04
  Tell us about it. The funniest thing about these
• 1:02:08
  four DVD's is that I have The Polar Express on Amazon already
• 1:02:12
  streaming stream. Like I just press play anytime I
• 1:02:15
  want to. Yeah, But I just thought it was
• 1:02:17
  like it was a dollar. I was like, I have a physical
• 1:02:20
  copy now it's mine. I own it.
• 1:02:22
  It's for me. We we, you know, we love.
• 1:02:26
  I love. I know there's comic books
• 1:02:30
  online and you can like, you know, Marvel, you Marvel
• 1:02:35
  Unlimited where you just go online and read comic books.
• 1:02:39
  But I like grabbing one and having it in my hand and going
• 1:02:47
  through the pages. Oh yeah, Oh yeah.
• 1:02:49
  You know, instead of having to like increase the freaking font
• 1:02:54
  of the saying and look at the what does that say?
• 1:02:58
  Oh shit, I can't read because it's far in.
• 1:03:02
  So I just have it here and just be like, OK, cool.
• 1:03:05
  I love the having it in my hand and just get me to the pages and
• 1:03:11
  saying this is awesome instead of just like doing all that
• 1:03:14
  shit. So now we need to know.
• 1:03:25
  Did you guys enjoy this segment? If you did, let us know in the
• 1:03:28
  comments to chat the DM wherever you find us.
• 1:03:31
  If there's a DVD, Blu-ray, or special edition you think we
• 1:03:34
  should review next, drop it. We might already have it, or we
• 1:03:37
  might hunt it down. I might hunt it down.
• 1:03:40
  I don't know. I haven't had any DV DS in a
• 1:03:42
  while. I don't even know what I own.
• 1:03:44
  I gotta look for them. If you're into this, we're
• 1:03:48
  absolutely down to make a recurring sing.
• 1:03:51
  I got Menace saying she loves this segment.
• 1:03:53
  Awesome. And just to tease a little bit,
• 1:03:56
  in 2026, we're talking deeper physical media dives, box sets,
• 1:04:00
  collectors editions, commentary tracks accidentally turn into
• 1:04:03
  therapy sessions, the stuff you can't just scroll past.
• 1:04:08
  So if you're a collector and nostalgia junkie or someone who
• 1:04:11
  still says they don't make menus like they used to, trust us.
• 1:04:16
  This is just the beginning. If it's worth watching, it might
• 1:04:20
  be worth owning. Speaking of Special Collector
• 1:04:29
  editions, I if I ever see Back to the Future on the shelf, and
• 1:04:36
  hopefully it's not the one with Kirk Cameron in there.
• 1:04:43
  Unless. It's like, that's the one I have
• 1:04:46
  too. Yeah.
• 1:04:47
  I think it was the 20th, 30th anniversary.
• 1:04:49
  It was the 30th anniversary. Is it like that with every one
• 1:04:53
  of them? Most likely Oh.
• 1:04:56
  Man can they change something else?
• 1:04:59
  Like updated to somebody new, perhaps, you know, someone that
• 1:05:05
  actually loved the movie and like that weird about it.
• 1:05:14
  Well, like I would love to watch that again with that.
• 1:05:20
  All right, where are we? We still have time for this.
• 1:05:22
  An hour and 10 is fine. It's been a long day.
• 1:05:26
  That's why I'm like asking where we're at.
• 1:05:29
  Let's talk about albums turning 25 this year.
• 1:05:35
  Pray tell me what you thought of these albums.
• 1:05:39
  We're not going to go through all them, but you know, it's
• 1:05:41
  like for some of them, for some of these genres, a pop, an R&B
• 1:05:46
  and sync, no strings attached. The bye bye bye album, Britney
• 1:05:57
  Spears. Oops, I did it again.
• 1:06:02
  The Christina Aguilera, Christina Aguilera debut.
• 1:06:05
  OK, Jenny and yeah. Mariah Carey, Rainbow Honey.
