  Speaker 1: mostly him.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: So because even like in The Martian there's uh, it
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: was all damon.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Let's see San Diego Comic Con coming up here
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: very soon. And Predator bad Lands is going to be
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: featured tron Aries and apparently Trent Reznor is very proud
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: of the soundtrack for tron Aries. He says, he says,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: I don't want to sound pretend or anything, but we've
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: really we've changed what movie soundtracks can be. So he's
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: very excited about that. There will be a lack of
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Marvel at this year's convention, So take that in. But
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: while you're thinking about Predator, bad Lens going on Netflix
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: and watch a Killer of Killers, Predator, Killer of Killers.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: I can't watch. I watched some of that.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's anime and it's three stories about three people
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: in different timelines. And I didn't know what to expect.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: I didn't expect to like it.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: But here we are. It was quite good.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: And James Gunn is warning us that the hopefulness of Superman,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: which opens this weekend.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, I think it's this weekend. Anyway, it's holiday weekend.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: I probably is. It's it's a.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Movie filled with hope, he said, don't expect the same
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: when I make the Supergirl movie. Here's what he had
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: to say, Flashback Krypton are always a possibility, but I
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: think those things are really integral to the two characters
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: and the differences between them, and that Clark really does.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: He had a happy childhood, a good upbringing. He had
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: parents who loved him, easygoing upbringing. That makes him the
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: least dysfunctional of superheroes in so many ways. Supergirl, however,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: especially our DCU Supergirl, is a mess. I mean she's
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: had real issues growing up, and it's all based on
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: this comic book by Tom King, who's an excellent writer,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: where she watched person after person after person dying in
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: front of her as her piece of the planet is disintegrated.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Well, that never makes for a good personality. That's not
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: a hopeful superhero. That's a yeah.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: But I encourage you to try to find that comic book.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: It's called Supergirl World or Girl of Tomorrow. I think
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: it's a real moment by Tom King, very very good,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: so check it out.
