9:01
Seriously, one day.
9:06
Yeah, one day only to come back to the hotel and then get the, and have the cut eye.
9:11
Yeah, it's not worth it.
9:18
The death will be much more significant, let's put it that way.
9:25
So you went there the whole day?
9:28
You said a couple hours.
9:29
I know I said a couple hours, but the lines and then this and then I got this and yeah, that's not it.
9:36
Trust me.
9:37
This is, this is from the same person who was.
9:39
We, we were out running errands.
9:41
This was a couple of years ago.
9:42
We were out running errands and we just happened to be near my local comic book store where I get all my book stuff.
9:48
I might get my pool list.
9:50
And I said I'm gonna run in, I'm gonna grab my pull list.
9:54
I'm gonna be out.
9:54
I'll probably be like 15 minutes.
9:57
This was in the summer and I came out 40 minutes later.
10:04
Didn't realize 40 minutes passed by and I, I gently got in the car and she had fell asleep.
10:12
So gently got in the car, turned on the car and she, the first thing she looked at was the clock.
10:17
She was like, really?
10:19
I'm like, the AC was on.
10:27
Excuse.

First off.
12:12
Hey, that's not Corey.
12:13
That's.
12:14
But Corey Davis.
12:16
Rock Bottom Studios.
12:18
What's going on, Corey?
12:20
What's up?
12:21
What's up?
12:21
What's up?
12:22
Yeah, that's me there.
12:23
There we go.
12:23
There you go.
12:24
Yeah, there you go.
12:25
Yeah.
12:27
An extensive catalog, my guy.
12:29
Ah, yeah, it's a lot of work.
12:32
It's a lot of work.
12:32
It's a lot of work.
12:33
But yeah, I'm.
12:34
I'm here.
12:35
Somehow.
12:39
You chose wisely, sir.
12:41
You chose.
12:41
You've.
12:41
You've made a lot of wise choices.
12:45
Oh, yeah, yeah.
12:46
To get.
12:47
To get as many.
12:47
To get as many accolades if you have as I've just read off and I'm sure there's more.
12:53
So I.
12:55
Normally we would just kick this thing off.
12:56
How did you get started?
12:57
Blah, blah, blah.
12:58
I want to do a little bit different.
13:00
Okay, let's talk about Corey.
13:03
Okay.
13:04
Where did the.
13:06
The gift of animation, you know, schooling and, you know, influences.
13:11
Where did.
13:11
Where did that start?
13:15
Basically, I am.
13:20
I grew up mostly in Maryland, around Washington, D.C.
13:26
before we moved here to South Carolina, where I am now.
13:29
And that's where I discovered the animation bug, I guess, you know, just kind of came into into my life during that time.
13:39
Early 80s.
13:39
So that was the era of Hanna Barbera, Saturday morning cartoons and the afternoons we had like old reruns of Looney Tunes and Speed Racing.
13:54
And then that era started slowly drifting into the he man and Thundercats era and such.
14:02
So I would say probably around that time, I had to be about 5 years old.
14:06
And I was fascinated with the artistry of the animation more so than the animation itself.
14:13
Like, a lot of kids my age were taken back by the characters and everything, wanted to get the lunchboxes, the toys, the merchandise, you know, and I was just like, how do they get these drawings to move?
14:24
So that was my whole introduction to it all.
14:28
And of course, comic books was like the closest thing that I could do to animation as a kid.
14:33
So of course that kind of came as a package deal.
14:37
So I would say that surround the time that everything kind of started for me.
14:41
Okay, Laney, question.
14:46
Okay.
14:48
I am curious on how.
14:51
Is there any plans on how you can bring your gifts to, like, a younger generation?
14:58
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
14:59
We.
15:01
What we do is we do these series of workshops in schools and.
15:08
And at our own studio and everything.
15:10
So we kind of open the door for younger animators and.
15:16
And future comic book writers and artists.
15:22
We just have them come in sometimes and just shadow what we do.
15:27
Yeah, pretty much.
15:28
That's the.
15:30
The game plan for us to kind of open that door to that young generation.
15:35
Because we live in a city that didn't really have those types of resources when I was that age.
15:41
So to provide those resources and be able to have those types of connections and skills and everything to share with the younger generation, we, you know, jump at the chance to do that and share that through workshops.
16:00
We go to schools.
16:02
We have certain workshops in our own studio we might go to, like, libraries.
16:09
Whoever we're partnered up with at the time to kind of spread the gospel of, you know, animation and comics for the young, you know, the young generation to kind of come in and, you know, take the wheel.
16:22
Long after us, you know, senior citizens are ready to retire.
16:31
We the same, Brighton?
16:32
Not yet.
16:34
Yeah, so you're Gen X, so you're fine.
16:39
Exactly.
16:40
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
16:42
So.
16:42
But that's pretty much how.
16:43
How we do that.
16:44
So, yeah, you're Gen X.
16:45
We have a different type of vibe.
16:48
I don't know what it is, but whatever's in our life blood, we keep.
16:52
We keep things rocking.
16:53
It was like, hey, hey.
16:54
I.
16:54
I totally agree.
16:55
110.
16:59
Lady Mandalore, you got a question?
17:02
Yes.
17:03
So where did you.
17:07
I can't.
17:07
I'm so sorry.
17:08
I'm flustered.
17:09
I apologize.
17:09
I'm so over.
17:12
Where did you find or did you ever find a mentor?
17:17
And how.
17:18
Who were they?
17:19
How did they inspire you?
17:21
Do they still support you in any way?
17:24
Oh, yeah.
17:26
I have several mentors, some of which came into my life at a time where I really needed that type of guidance.
17:35
And when it comes to the arts, I have so many different people that I can kind of point out.
17:42
I'll be here all day pointing them all.
17:45
But my art teacher in college, gentleman by the name of Tyrone Jeter, like he was when I was younger.
17:58
I like to compare our relationship.
18:02
When he first came to our school.
18:05
Our relationship was kind of like Barton Homer Simpson.
18:10
So I was the knucklehead that he was always trying to get to, you know, kind of fall in line.
18:16
And then after a While, you know, I just kind of, you know, understood what he was trying, you know, I was picking up what he was laying down a little bit more.
18:24
And till this day, he's still a mentor.
18:29
He made a very, very important, very sizable contribution to our animation studio print shop that we have going on here.
18:42
So.
18:42
And that was just recent, as of last week.
18:44
So shout out to Tyrone Jeter.
18:48
Yeah, so he's probably one of, you know, my biggest, you know, mentors, you know, in life right now as far as art goes.
18:58
I find that.
19:00
And I'm glad you mentioned a lot of the 80s era of cartoons.
19:06
We were the.
19:07
We were the originators, I should say, of the cartoon block.
19:13
From 5 to 6am up until almost noon was like, you were up Saturday, like you were locked in.
19:21
And these were the things that you were checked out on.
19:24
And that was it.
19:26
There was.
19:26
There was no other discussion.
19:28
Yep.
19:29
Your moms and your pops was able to work with you and say, all right, after those cartoons go off, we cleaning up, we cleaning the house.
19:36
Yeah, that was.
19:38
That was just how it worked.
19:39
But I.
19:41
I is so hearing.
19:44
Hearing that those types of cartoons were the influence for you does.
19:48
Does a lot of justice for a lot of people because it, you know, I've seen some of the worst cartoons.
19:56
Oh, man, you and me both.
19:59
Where they're just like, I don't remember that.
20:01
And I'm like, oh, I do.
20:02
You know, that's.
20:04
That's pretty much my brain.
20:07
My brain is like an oversized catalog of animation, and that goes for, like, the best of the best and the worst of the worst.
20:16
Yeah.
20:17
So I can rifle off titles that people don't even remember.
20:21
So, yeah, I totally get it.
20:25
So I want to talk to you about.
20:27
Okay, so you're working with Blur Station, which we are also a part of with the press team for Blair Station.
20:32
Yeah.
20:32
And what projects do you have coming towards Blurred Station that you'd like to talk about?
20:39
Well, I have a pretty sizable catalog that I'll be bringing to the station.
20:48
I worked for a studio for about six to seven years where all of their content was digital.
20:58
And I left that platform around 2019, and that digital catalog hasn't really been seen online since.
21:09
So what I'll be doing is I'll be bringing that entire catalog, that digital catalog to Blurt Station.
21:16
We are also working on several animated shorts and, you know, animated pieces that will be, you know, contributing to the Blur Station library, one of which is Jet Boy, which is one of my.
21:34
That's my baby, actually, like, It's a comic that I created initially about 20 years ago about a top secret government agency that polices alien technology.
21:48
And this 10 year old kid is one of those agents.
21:52
But the most important aspect of that story is it was born of me being around the same age as the character Paul Perkins, around 10 years old, reading comic books.
22:07
And you know, this is right.
22:09
This was pretty much right before Milestone and, and Spawn and everybody came along.
22:17
So around that time there wasn't really many heroes that looked like us, you know, so the importance of putting Jet Boy out there, it was kind of like a love letter to young black kids that we can be
22:31
heroes too.
22:32
So just creating that narrative and in that particular project was very important.
22:44
And I didn't really have a plan to turn it into an animation until I met my current co director of, you know, animation, who is Mike Sofaluque.
23:00
Shout out to Mike over in, in London.
23:03
Mike is a Nigerian animation director who has, you know, worked on projects like Love, Death and Robots.
23:17
He's worked on.
23:20
Absolutely.
23:21
I think he did.
23:22
I think the most recent one he did was the 400 boys.
23:26
Haven't been watching that anthology series.
23:30
By all means, go check that out.
23:31
400 boys.
23:32
I think Mike something on.
23:34
I could, I could be wrong, but he'll.
23:36
Yeah, that was, that was, that was a wild one.
23:38
Oh, yeah, yeah, that's that boy right there.
23:41
Yeah.
23:42
And that's a clip from the very first finished animation that Mike and I worked on.
23:49
I had the privilege of meeting Mike through MySpace to let you know how.
23:54
Far back that was.
23:56
That's crazy.
23:57
Yeah, I, I met him as an animator and I was there to kind of network with other artists and everything of, of different backgrounds.
24:09
I met Mike and I knew he was an animator.
24:12
But about three months into our friendship, I did the, the first initial sketch of Jet Boy and shared it on the platform.
24:20
And he saw it and he said, well, tell me more about this character, because this kind of looks like what me and Marvin, who's a partner at the time, like this looks like what we do for our day
24:32
jobs.
24:32
And I was just like, what do you do for your day job?
24:35
He's like, I don't know, do you guys have the gorillas over there in the States?
24:38
And I was like, wait a minute, what?
24:40
And so he's like, yeah, I do like lead animation for the Gorillaz music videos.
24:44
And I was like, you've been working for the Gorillaz music videos this entire.
24:49
Time and you didn't tell me?
24:50
I beg your finest pardon?
24:53
A Phrase that has been getting used quite a bit lately.
24:59
Proud of you.
25:02
Yeah.
25:02
So that's.
25:03
That's how our friendship kicked off until this day.
25:05
We still work.
25:06
And that image that was just shared is from the first ever polished, finished Jet Boy animation that we worked on together.
25:18
I'm gonna.
25:19
I'll grab a clip for it.
25:20
But Geek by heart, which is Lainey, our very own lady, she wants to know, was it difficult being a POC in your field?
25:31
Yes and yeah.
25:32
Yeah.
25:32
Yes and no.
25:34
There's the whole yes and no aspect of it, I guess, knowing the sense of I had some very good mentors and.
25:44
And people leading me into the lanes that I needed to be in and which ones I needed to avoid.
25:51
And I guess what made it hard is the fact that those lanes exist.
25:56
Right.
25:58
So I guess that's probably the.
26:00
The easiest short form answer because this is like an industry where there's not a whole lot of us.
26:09
So that's why it's very important for me to start that animation studio that I started so we can have more of an opportunity, especially around here in the city that I'm in it, there's little to no resources for
26:24
the animator, especially animators of color, but that doesn't mean that there aren't animators of color here in town and aspiring animators of color.
26:35
So the kids that look like us that, you know, can't afford to get in the scad, or may not be able to beat out 700 other kids that look like them, that don't look like them to get into
26:50
that Disney internship, you know, they need some type of alternative.
26:56
And that's pretty much why it was important for me to push.
27:02
Push through with what we have, because we know how hard it is in the industry, you know, to kind of, you know, come up, especially, like I said, in the community that we're in, it's very hard.
27:14
It's very hard.
27:14
I was gonna ask, you know what?
27:16
You.
27:16
Like you said, you.
27:17
You trans.
27:17
You're a transplant from D.C.
27:18
now you're in South Carolina.
27:20
I was gonna ask.
27:20
You don't really hear a lot of people coming that.
27:24
Whether it's in any of the form of animation or entertainment coming out of the.
27:29
Out of the.
27:30
Out of the south or out of the Carolinas or anything like that, for that matter.
27:33
So I was wondering how that work, how that worked, because, you know, in our circle, a lot of stuff is.
27:39
Is either west coast or the D.C.
27:43
area or maybe even New York City.
27:45
Yeah, mostly New York City, but you don't really hear it from, like, other states.
27:51
Like, they have their own kind of thing.
27:53
You know, even here with me here being in Cleveland, it's more artsy than anything.
27:58
It's a lot of comics, but it's not a lot of us comics, you know, so, you know, they.
28:05
They have it, but it's like, once again, you don't see you.
28:10
So that was.
28:11
That's.
28:11
That was interesting.
28:12
That's.
28:12
I'm glad that you're doing something to kind of, like, shine some light over here.
28:17
Like, hey, you may not make.
28:18
Like you said, you may not make that Disney internship, but.
28:22
Right.
28:22
You can come over here and we make sure you get seen.
28:26
We make sure you work, you make sure you get somewhere, get your foot in the door.
28:31
You know, who knows what happens?
28:32
Yeah, yeah.
28:33
And.
28:34
And that's the.
28:34
The cool thing is because we have those connections with Disney and Cartoon Network and such, you know, it's.
28:43
It's kind of a way that, you know, that talented bunch can, you know, kind of cut corners to a degree, for lack of a better term.
28:55
And, you know, we give them the training that they need, and then we turn them loose on them and, you know, they can, you know, kind of take a look at what's out there and what they're qualified to
29:10
do.
29:10
In some cases, we'll put them in situations where they can learn directly from Disney animators or animators from Nickelodeon.
29:19
You know what I mean?
29:20
So we've, you know, we're starting to come into our own down here.
29:25
You guys are familiar with Bitterroot?
29:27
Yes, yes, yes, yes, we are.
29:33
Well.
29:34
Well, Chuck Brown and Sanford Green are from here.
29:36
We all went to school together, so.
29:39
Look at that circle.
29:40
Look at that circle.
29:42
Yeah.
29:44
Mike Coulter, who played Luke Cage, he also went to our college for a little bit before he went off to usc.
29:51
I mean, we have a pretty solid stable of talent here, you know, but it's.
29:57
It's like we said, like, a lot of the resources we had to go elsewhere to get.
30:02
You know what I mean?
30:04
Tell Mike.
30:05
We tell Mike we're still looking for him in that second season of Daredevil.
30:08
We just saying everybody else is showing up.
30:14
Yeah.
30:14
Yeah.
30:15
So it's.
30:15
Yeah, I'm waiting for that, too, man.
30:17
To be honest.
30:18
Yeah.
30:19
I'm a big Luke Cage fan, so.
30:21
So, Lady Mandalore, another question.
30:26
Do you find.
30:28
Are you able to find talent naturally?
30:32
Like, do you have people that are actually seeking you out?
30:37
And I.
30:38
I asked that just because of the.
30:39
The Disney connection.
30:40
Do you find that there are People that you can connect with or have a maybe a more, I guess a more natural connection with, with them without all the pressure of them feeling like I'm at Disney, like I,
30:56
I have to stay on my grind type type of situation.
31:00
Is it a little bit easier?
31:03
Do people find a little bit more easier?
31:04
And have you had people that have left Disney come to y' all and said, thank God.
31:13
We'Re not there yet?
31:14
We're trying to, we, we've had some, some folks seek us out because, you know, just for the most part we're kind of the only game in town that can actually direct people within the animation realm here to that
31:39
type of connection to like a Disney or a Nickelodeon and such.
31:45
We had the privilege last year of partnering with Compass Studios.
31:52
Shout out to Tony.
31:53
Tight.
31:55
Compass Studios is A black owned 3D animation studio here in Columbia, South Carolina.
32:04
And with our partnership that made both of our studios the largest animation studio, black owned animation studio in size and scope in the world.
32:17
And I know there's like a list of black owned studios that you can, you know, throw out there, but in size and scope, between that merger that we had, we have like the biggest black owned animation studio like
32:34
on the planet.
32:34
How, how big we talking in, in, in people and like feet.
32:40
I'll give you an example, I give, I'll give you one example.
32:44
There is a editing suite on this campus that there's only three of them in existence and that's.
32:56
Oh wow, we have one, Sony has one and Warner Brothers has one.
33:04
So to kind of give you an idea of what that size and scope looks like, that's what we're dealing with.
33:12
That's what we're talking about when it comes to size and scope.
33:17
So it's, it's condensed but it's, it's, it's stacked.
33:24
That's what it is.
33:25
The talent is there.
33:27
Oh yeah.
33:28
But, but it's, it's so out of the way.
33:32
Yeah.
33:33
That they wouldn't know that.
33:34
Oh, all this talent, all this, all this future talent and future celebrity is sitting here and no one sees it.
33:42
Right.
33:44
Yeah.
33:44
And, and that's, and that's a good explanation of the Compass Studios itself.
33:53
We didn't even know that it existed.
33:56
That it was kind of sitting off in the cut.
33:59
You know, it was just kind of there.
34:01
Like we didn't know what it was until we went to meet with Tony for the first time.
34:08
And on the outside it just looks like an old like abandoned shopping center, like an old strip mall.
34:18
Oh man.
34:18
But when you go inside.
34:21
It's like a multi million dollar facility with sound stages.
34:25
Let's go.
34:26
Yeah, like sound stages, the 3D master, 3D editing suite for the animation.
34:34
All of that, all of that.
34:36
Talk show sets, green screen room, infinity wall.
34:40
Like it's.
34:41
It's completely decked out.
34:43
And you would never know that it was back there in the cut, you know, but see, that is.
34:48
That is something I would never.
34:51
I've never thought about taking an abandoned mall or strip mall and confirm.
34:57
That's.
34:58
That's actually pretty damn genius.
35:00
Oh, yeah, yeah, that's.
35:02
That's Tony.
35:03
That's Tony.
35:03
Tight.
35:04
And yeah, yeah, he's.
35:07
He's.
35:07
He's a genius himself.
35:08
He's an OG in the game.
35:10
He comes from.
35:11
He has a background in Atlanta.
35:13
Used to work for LaFace Records.
35:24
What house did you go to?
35:27
Huh?
35:29
What causes you go to that?
35:30
Everyone's coming around this in.
35:32
Oh, man, I.
35:33
I went to Benedict College here in Columbia.
35:38
All right, so Demetrius and Kevin over a blur station.
35:42
We need to mine Benedict College.
35:47
I just talked to them yesterday about that.
35:49
I entered a partnership with Benedict.
35:52
Shout out to Ms.
35:54
Moore, Gina Moore over there, who's one of my old professors, and the arts department.
36:02
We are starting an internship program with them so we can mine those young minds and start that next generation of black animators coming out.
36:14
And, you know, starting in spring of next year, we're going to be, you know, kicking out that internship program.
36:24
So.
36:25
So yeah, so that.
36:26
And I talked to Demetrius and Kevin about that yesterday.
36:30
I think it was yesterday, the day before that, or I.
36:32
I did talk to Demetrius maybe yesterday, day before that.
36:37
Good Lord.
36:38
That's a lot of.
36:40
And for those that are watching, you're.
36:42
What you're seeing is just some of the projects that they have or for rock bottom studios.
36:47
I'm not showing you everything.
36:52
Yeah.
36:53
You want to join up a blur station to catch the rest of this catalog?
36:56
Yeah, but.
36:57
But yeah, this is.
36:58
This is dope.
36:59
Because, see, I'm just amazed by how much talent and how much thinking outside the box that's going on and the fact that your partnership, you're doing partnerships with the college to like, let's get this going.
37:14
Because, like, like you said, you.
37:15
It's a gold mine.
37:16
That's a gold mine.
37:17
Oh, yeah.
37:18
Oh, yeah.
37:19
That's a gold mine of talent that I.
37:21
That one isn't being seen.
37:22
Two is being wasted, you know, because you.
37:27
You people will tell you in any form of entertainment, Entertainment, they say you either got to go to New York or you got to go to California.
37:35
Yep.
37:35
And let's face it, prices are too damn high.
37:43
That is very true.
37:44
That is very true.
37:45
Like, that's been.
37:47
That's been the thing that has taken the place of resources here, because not having those resources for years and years and being told, yeah, if you want to get those resources, then you have to go elsewhere.
38:05
And that's just been the thing that we were always taught, like, coming up down here.
38:11
And now that, you know, times are changing, the Internet's coming to play.
38:17
YouTube is a thing.
38:19
Schools are starting to kind of, you know, appreciate the value of teaching animation.
38:25
You know, in some spaces, you know.
38:30
They crawling on their bellies.
38:31
They.
38:31
They like, oh, we've been here.
38:33
We've been here the entire time.
38:35
Right.
38:38
Yeah.
38:39
So.
38:39
So, yeah.
38:40
So now that, you know, the world is starting to kind of wake up around here, it's starting to feel less like the land that time forgot.
38:47
You know what I mean?
38:49
So now is the time to kind of take advantage of that, and that's exactly what we're doing.
38:53
So.
38:54
Yeah.
38:55
So I.
38:55
I do have my own question, because you mentioned 80s cartoons.
39:00
Coming up on the 80s.
39:01
On the 80s eras of cartoons, I need to know.
39:05
Name the most obscure cartoon from the 80s era and explain.
39:09
And.
39:10
And for those who don't know, have never heard it, never seen it.
39:14
Explain the premise.
39:16
Oh, man.
39:18
80S and 90s.
39:19
I say 80s and 90s.
39:21
All right.
39:22
80s is probably.
39:26
80s is probably easier because there's so many of them, like, so many very obscure ones.
39:36
Two come to mind, actually.
39:39
Ulysses 31 is probably.
39:44
Where's Davey?
39:45
Yeah, that's probably one that just kind of pops in there every time somebody asked me this question.
39:52
Because it's a retelling of, like, the Greek gods, but it's, you know, told, like, through outer space, Star wars, like, space opera type, you know, narrative.
40:07
And it is probably one of the weirdest things that I've ever seen coming up, like, around that time, because the animation style was.
40:16
Was weird because I think it was a.
40:18
It was a joint production between Japan, France and.
40:23
And something else.
40:23
It was a bunch of different countries that you would never think would come together on anything.
40:29
Yeah.
40:29
And let's make this cartoon.
40:32
And it was very odd, to say the least.
40:37
Yeah.
40:38
Coming up.
40:38
But that's one.
40:40
And I think the mysterious Cities of Gold.
40:43
Oh, it's probably the other one.
40:47
Yeah.
40:47
Like that one.
40:48
I still don't know what that was about.
40:52
But I remember it had a nice soundtrack, too.
40:56
Yep.
40:57
Yeah, I remember that Theme song.
40:58
They.
40:59
They make sure you never forgot it.
41:01
Yeah.
41:03
Did you have a question?
41:06
You're muted, baby.
41:11
Just a quick question.
41:13
Is there anybody out there that you.
41:16
Are aware of their work, whether it's.
41:18
A big or small studio that you wish that you could work with?
41:23
Oh, yeah.
41:24
Martian Blueberry.
41:26
The circle is there.
41:27
I swear to God.
41:28
Our circle is tight enough.
41:31
Like, on some.
41:33
I'm.
41:33
I'm screaming in my head like, oh, my God.
41:35
I really.
41:36
They.
41:36
They need to.
41:37
Something needs to happen.
41:39
Yeah, don't worry.
41:40
We're gonna talk.
41:41
We're gonna talk to Carl again.
41:42
Carl and love.
41:43
We're gonna be like, hey, hey, hey, hey.
41:45
Yeah, I.
41:46
Here's a funny story about Carl.
41:48
I met Carl.
41:51
I want to say this had to be about 2007, and 2007, 2008, I think this was still around.
42:05
Still around boondocks time.
42:07
And this was still, once again, MySpace error.
42:14
And I was talking to, I think, LaShawn Thomas at the time, because we would keep in touch.
42:21
I met LaShawn through Sanford, and we would talk on social media every now and then.
42:26
And when Mike Sofoluke put the bug in my ear about turning Jet Boy into an animation, one of the people I was, you know, referred to was Carl.
42:40
Yeah, like, talk to Carl.
42:42
And Carl was one of the first ones to tell me, yeah, go out there.
42:49
Don't worry about the money.
42:50
Do it, do it.
42:51
Show me what you got.
42:52
Blah, blah, blah.
42:53
And I still talk to him, like, on and off, like, you know, to this day.
42:59
I think the last time I talked to him was probably last year, you know, sometime, to be honest.
43:05
But, yeah, so I was telling him.
43:08
I reached out to him about the studio that I was opening at the time because I wanted to see.
43:15
Because I saw Martian Blueberry was kicking off and wanted to kind of, you know, hit him up and just be like, hey, you know, I got some ideas.
43:23
And I think we just kind of missed each other, like ships in the night, you know, like, I'll.
43:29
I'll write them.
43:30
And then, like a month later hit me because.
43:34
Because life be life.
43:36
Yeah, but I mean, I saw what they were doing, so, I mean, I'm not mad at it, but I would.
43:41
I would love this room.
43:42
There's room at the table for.
43:44
For it.
43:44
For everybody, that's for sure.
43:45
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
43:47
Yeah.
43:48
Like, it's not like it was when we were coming up where you just had.
43:52
What was it?
43:53
Abc, NBC and CBS and Nick and Nickelodeon, and that was it.
43:58
Like, that was it.
44:00
Like.
44:00
No, you like, when those.
44:02
When the three major networks dropped off, Nickelodeon came in through.
44:05
Came through on Clutch.
44:06
And then Cartoon Network came in, and they said, yeah, we're gonna do this.
44:10
And then Boomerang popped up, and now it's kind of like.
44:13
Yeah.
44:14
Like, everything's.
44:15
Everything's on Boomerang now.
44:16
It was like, yeah, you used to show the older cuts, but now it's like, if it's like five years old, we'll throw it on there, you know?
44:22
So it's like, I remember all of that.
44:25
I remember that era.
44:27
So it's.
44:28
It's definitely something to sit back.
44:31
And my.
44:32
Even my wife said.
44:32
She's like, you watching this?
44:33
I'm like, it's cartoons.
44:35
These are comfort zones.
44:36
You don't seem to understand.
44:37
This is.
44:39
I Wish I had $5 just to go to the corner store again and.
44:45
And.
44:45
And get.
44:46
And get a couple things of candy.
44:48
So it was.
44:49
It's just one of those things we don't get or we take advantage.
44:54
I should say.
44:54
We've.
44:55
We've taken advantage.
44:56
And I.
44:57
I might need.
44:58
I need to revisit cartoon theme songs again, because there were some.
45:04
There was some hits.
45:05
I'm telling.
45:05
There were some hits.
45:07
Oh, man.
45:07
I got a circle of friends where we just kind of get together and just do that every now and then.
45:15
Like, they'll hit me up on, like, Facebook or something.
45:20
And my buddy Omar.
45:21
My buddy Omar likes to put me to the test.
45:24
He likes to keep me on my toes.
45:25
Yeah, between Omar and.
45:27
He'll throw.
45:28
He'll throw out, like, a list of.
45:30
He'll get some screenshots from all of these different, like, animated shows from, like, the 80s and 70s and stuff.
45:38
And he's like, okay, I'm not gonna say what they are.
45:41
I need you to tell me what these things are.
45:44
And he.
45:44
He's constantly testing my gangster on my knowledge.
45:50
My knowledge of animation.
45:51
But he hadn't stumped me yet.
45:53
Look, right now.
45:54
Right now, the catalog falls to Muppet Babies and Beast Boy from Teen Titans.
46:01
Like, oh, like, oh, and Steve.
46:06
And Steve from Family Guy or from American Dad.
46:08
I'm sorry, Steve from American dad.
46:10
Like, those three.
46:13
I'm like, yeah.
46:14
Nobody knew Steve was crooning like that.
46:16
I had no clue that he was dropping bangers like that.
46:20
And Beast Boy.
46:21
Here come Beast Boy.
46:22
And I'm like, oh.
46:26
I wasn't.
46:27
I wasn't, like, a big fan of Teen Titans.
46:29
Go.
46:30
But that.
46:31
That.
46:31
That song was a banger.
46:33
Yeah.
46:34
He started.
46:35
He started.
46:35
He started dropping some of them Songs.
46:37
And I'm like, let me just give this a moment.
46:40
And because this is catchy right now, I'm like, I'm with it, you know, and.
46:48
Right.
46:49
It don't help that they had that.
46:50
That Robin.
46:51
That second Robin joke in the black background, and nobody caught it unless you knew what happened with the second Robin.
46:58
I'm just like, yeah.
46:59
Oh, they own that kind of time.
47:01
I've gotta see what this is all about now.
47:04
So don't traumatize those kids with telling that story.
47:07
Yeah.
47:08
They're not old enough, literally, in the whole.
47:11
So for those that don't know, there's an episode of Teen Titans Go where Robin is like, stand in front of a bookcase and it's just in the background, and there's a urn.
47:25
There's an urn with a crowbar leaned up against it with Robin 2 written on the urn.
47:29
And I said, well, damn, y' all wild.
47:34
I.
47:35
I said, well, that.
47:37
That's an open book.
47:41
By the Joker.
47:42
Is it?
47:42
Yeah.
47:43
Yeah.
47:43
I was doing.
47:43
That's why I said, I can't believe they did that.
47:47
It's like, if, you know.
47:48
You know, let me.
47:50
Let me check this out.
47:53
I said, I need to.
47:54
I need to come in and I need to figure this out now.
47:58
At which point after that, I said, okay.
48:01
The show may not be the original Teen Titans, however, it has its own niche.
48:08
And it's funny.
48:09
You like?
48:10
Because there's a lot of jokes in there.
48:11
It's like, okay, we're coming off a bit jokey.
48:13
It's not like some of the other shows where they're pushing to it.
48:17
Like, no, there's just literally, like, a lot of tongue in cheek humor, and they just ride with it, you know?
48:23
So.
48:23
Yeah, and it works.
48:25
It works.
48:25
So, yeah, yeah, yeah.
48:27
So, yeah.
48:28
I'm gonna have to revisit some of them cartoons, though.
48:30
A lot of those were.
48:32
Were right where they needed to be and needed to talk about it.
48:38
Man, you have such an extensive catalog.
48:41
See, I could wrap this.
48:42
I could wrap this whole thing Talking about these 80s cartoons with you, man.
48:47
I'm like, I gotta.
48:49
It's.
48:50
People don't understand how huge and Laney, you know, that catalog is massive 80s and 90s cartoons.
48:57
Is massive 90s cartoons for me was Mighty Max.
49:03
Oh, wow.
49:04
Yeah.
49:05
Yeah.
49:06
That ending.
49:07
I'm like, yo, what is going on?
49:12
Why are they doing.
49:14
And, yeah.
49:15
Mighty Max.
49:16
That.
49:16
That.
49:17
Their last season.
49:19
Their last season was brutal.
49:20
I'm like, they're showing this.
49:22
Yeah, everybody in the same episode I'm like, come on, Mighty Max.
49:32
Mummy's alive.
49:34
That was another.
49:34
That was another one.
49:37
Mommy's Alive was a hitter.
49:39
Like, yeah.
49:40
Gargoyles, gargoyles.
49:43
Gummy bears.
49:47
Any of those Disney slaves.
49:48
Look here.
49:50
Yo, Mark.
49:51
Mark Cooper.
49:51
What's going on, Mark?
49:52
King Arthur and the Knights of Justice.
49:54
Yes.
49:55
Mark Cooper.
49:56
Yeah.
49:58
Mark Cooper is the voice of Jet Boy, by the way.
50:02
Look at that.
50:03
The circle is small.
50:06
Mark Cooper is the voice of Jet Boy.
50:09
Look how, look how this works.
50:10
It works.
50:11
Yes.
50:11
I had the privilege.
50:12
Mark is, is such a.
50:14
An amazing individual.
50:15
He tolerates me when I can't answer the phone.
50:18
I love him to death.
50:20
He's such a, a fantastic talent and I'm very fortunate to have him kind of spearhead this, this animation that we're doing.
50:29
Mark.
50:29
Mark is a good friend of the show.
50:31
He's been on it several times and we previewed his, his music.
50:35
Him and eight have gotten together at one point.
50:39
Yeah, Mark's been out there.
50:41
He's been on the grind.
50:42
Like I've never seen anyone.
50:44
I tell you, like, I'm so.
50:47
The first time, the first time he was on Blurred side, this was a few.
50:51
This was about three years ago.
50:52
Three, four years ago.
50:53
Right.
50:54
And the get.
50:56
My co host I had then, he was saying he was just making a joke.
51:00
He was like, yeah, you got a massive catalog of music.
51:03
He's like, he's probably making another one right now.
51:05
He was like.
51:05
Mark said, yeah, real talk.
51:07
I'm actually finishing up enough.
51:08
Like, we were just joking.
51:12
And he has a huge catalog of music.
51:17
Oh, absolutely.
51:18
And it, he just, he.
51:20
He hits every time.
51:22
It just hits.
51:22
And you know, so when I listen to people like him and Crazy the great.
51:26
You know, these are guys that I'm like, they get it.
51:30
They know what's going on.
51:32
They're tapped in.
51:34
I'm going to enjoy this.
51:36
Yeah.
51:37
Yeah.
51:37
He.
51:37
And, and he did such a good job with Jet Boy.
51:42
Working with him and working with Cynthia.
51:45
Cynthia Crans.
51:47
She has voiced almost every video game in every, every anime.
51:55
Like she, she's chichi from Dragon Ball Z.
51:58
Yes, yes.
52:01
The only one that was close to keeping Goku in line.
52:03
It was like, if I feed him, he'll sit still.
52:10
But it was, it was awesome to, to get her and Mark together to work on Jet Boy.
52:19
I'm.
52:19
I'm actually wrapping up the end of this 10 minute short that we're doing.
52:28
So that's, that's where I've been pretty much all day with Emilio.
52:32
Shout out to Emilio he's been on his grind doing the last of that animation and editing.
52:39
So, yeah, to give you an example of who we're working with and how hard we're working on it, that's pretty much where we are.
52:50
And Mark and Cynthia were both a joy to work with on the voices and the voice acting and everything.
52:57
So, yeah, it's.
53:00
Jet Boy is going to be pretty solid when.
53:01
When you see it, it's.
53:03
Yeah, I'm ready.
53:05
Oh, yeah.
53:06
Before we let you go, before we go to break, I want the ladies.
53:10
It could be a question.
53:11
It could be reminiscent on whatever the cartoons were that you came up with.
53:17
I'll let you have the floor.
53:19
You can have the floor, lady.
53:20
Mandalore.
53:21
You.
53:21
You already have the floor.
53:22
Because if I don't do the ship right, you'll get in my ass.
53:28
Oh, God.
53:31
Oh.
53:33
Oh, no.
53:34
Yeah.
53:35
Voltron Gummy Bears reboot.
53:41
Who else?
53:42
Oh, my God.
53:43
I'm trying to think of what.
53:45
X Men.
53:46
Sorry.
53:47
There you go.
53:53
Oh.
53:53
Oh.
53:55
Ewoks.
53:57
Oh.
53:59
Damn.
54:00
I forgot.
54:01
How could I.
54:01
How could I forgotten?
54:03
Right?
54:04
Like, I know there is.
54:05
There's.
54:05
There's, like, a core set that I would get up super early for on Saturday.
54:09
Ewoks always in that rotation.
54:12
Oh, yeah, yeah.
54:14
Ewoks and Droids.
54:19
Muppet Babies.
54:20
Yes.
54:21
Like, I said, they had it.
54:22
They had a catalog.
54:23
I'm like, hey, I don't know what's going on this episode, but they sang it.
54:27
I didn't know that.
54:29
Well, they had a lot of toys to sell.
54:35
I'm like, look.
54:36
Hey, get it in.
54:36
They.
54:37
They getting it in.
54:39
What about you, Gig Bar?
54:45
I'm gonna go with just, like, a couple.
54:47
And then I have actually another question.
54:50
I always remember GI Joe and Transformers, Dungeons and Dragons.
54:55
Like, I'm actually looking at a Wikipedia page, and I'm like, oh, I remember this stuff.
55:00
This is coming way back for me, Mr.
55:03
T.
55:04
Dungeon.
55:05
I mean, Dragon's Lair.
55:06
I can't.
55:07
I can't believe I didn't remember Dragon's Lair.
55:09
I could never watch that.
55:10
I could never beat that arcade game.
55:14
I never beat that game.
55:15
I never beat.
55:16
Nope.
55:19
To this day, I feel like they cheated us on Dragon Slayer Arcade.
55:22
Yep.
55:23
It was never designed to win.
55:25
I actually.
55:30
What about you?
55:30
I actually thought that 13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo was actually in the 90s.
55:35
That was my favorite.
55:36
It was in the 80s.
55:37
Now, that was my favorite.
55:38
Scooby Doo Run.
55:40
That was mine, too.
55:42
Yeah, I love it.
55:43
Yes.
55:43
But like I said, I thought it.
55:45
Was in the 80s.
55:46
It was like mid-80s at that.
55:48
Yeah.
55:49
My question to you was, if, if you're, if you're trying to get into your business, could you go through it outside of college or would you say that you should go through college and, and earn a degree in
56:04
what?
56:04
Like how, how would you get to be where you are?
56:11
I, I would always say, you know, get that education of, of, you know, going to school and, and you know, getting prepared for the real world as they call it.
56:27
I would always say, you know, go and get that education.
56:31
But then I also have to be mindful of those who just can't, you know, who I mean, whether they can't afford it or it's just not in the cards for them.
56:43
So my advice would be just find whatever resources you can when they're available.
56:53
If you can't go to school, if you can't go to college, then make sure that whatever resources that are available at your disposal to further the education in the field of art that you want to go into, whether
57:07
it's comics, whether it's animation, surround yourself with folks that are like minded that can guide you to those resources.
57:16
They may be the resource, you know what I mean?
57:19
So I won't, I won't say that I will give the advice to go to college, you know, because like I said, I don't want to give that advice to people who may not have the privilege of going.
57:33
But what I would say is that we are in the age of information.
57:40
So, you know, I would say just find those resources, cling on to them as much as possible, learn as much as you could possibly learn and you know, stick to the people that have, you know, the same goals.
57:57
So make sure your circle is filled with like minded people, right?
58:02
And you'll go very far and you know, just read a lot of comic books, watch a lot of animation, study the greats, make sure that you get all of those notes down.
58:15
And if you do have the privilege of going to college, by all means do it and get that, you know, that education that'll put you on the right track because a lot of artists aren't business people and a
58:28
lot of business people aren't artists.
58:30
But learning that balance that in between, that's true.
58:36
A lot of that comes from the experience.
58:39
So you know, the resources are key to that.
58:46
So I would say if you can go to school, by all means further your education.
58:52
If you can't latch on to those resources as you can get them, that's what's up.
59:00
Did you have something Whoopi before we go to break this one, you muted, you muted.
59:08
She's like, that button is her.
59:11
Is her enemy, boy.
59:14
Pirates of Dark Water.
59:15
That's all.
59:16
Pirates of Dark Water.
59:17
That's good.
59:18
No, that's a good one.
59:19
Pirates of Dark Water.
59:26
And as far as 90s cartoons, Dark Wing ducks theme song had no business.
59:31
Absolutely no business going in here.
59:35
I'm like, I feel like I'm at the Dag On Club right now.
59:40
Oh, don't get me started on that.
59:41
I love Dark Week.

I'm just saying, y' all thought we was playing.
1:09:33
Y' all thought we was kid, didn't you?
1:09:34
We're not.
1:09:36
Y.
1:09:36
Y' all know how we work around here.
1:09:37
We say it happens.
1:09:39
It happens that we got some news to jump on.
1:09:55
So this little show here has led, has premiered on Netflix to high numbers and also just had a 18 million dollar debut at, at the theaters this weekend.
1:10:11
I'm talking about K Pop Demon Hunters.
1:10:15
Gotta say, Songs is catchy.
1:10:19
Animation is on point.
1:10:22
I'm with it.
1:10:23
I'm with it.
1:10:24
Did you guys get it?
1:10:26
All you need is a good beat.
1:10:28
Still haven't seen it.
1:10:30
It's, it's, it's worth it.
1:10:32
It's, it's very much worth it.
1:10:34
I, I thought it was good actually.
1:10:38
It is.
1:10:38
It is.
1:10:39
It'll catch you off guard because I, I watched it with the kids and I was like, oh, okay, I can put my phone down actually pay attention to this.
1:10:46
This.
1:10:48
That's.
1:10:48
It's.
1:10:48
So basically it appeared to be number one on the north in the box office twist.
1:10:53
The film in this theatrical averse because it started out on Netflix first and someone said put in the movie theater.
1:11:00
Let's see how it does.
1:11:03
Didn't expect 18 million to come out of that but it, it appears to be number one on the North American charts.
1:11:10
It's also a sing along version of the hit animated musical is estimated to have 13 earned 18 million to 20 million on Saturday and Sunday.
1:11:21
Now Netflix hasn't reported their grosses, but projections from rival studios and exhibitors would put ticket sales for K Pop Demon Hunters ahead of those for weapons.
1:11:32
That's ain't a lot.
1:11:33
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:11:34
I mean I just, I saw weapons and I was like oh, so that's why everybody was saying watch it.
1:11:41
That's kind of messed up.
1:11:42
Yeah, it's, it's, it's really, really good.
1:11:46
Laney.
1:11:48
She did have the.
1:11:50
Is legit, bro.
1:11:52
Now it's, it's.
1:11:55
But the scrolls have definitely got me.
1:11:59
I feel like I'm hearing you on you, but then y' all don't hear me until like two and three seconds late.
1:12:05
Yes.
1:12:07
That's lots of power.
1:12:08
Right?
1:12:09
Like right now.
1:12:13
So I'll get the clipboard.
1:12:15
No, but, but no, it's, it's a, it's a good movie.
1:12:20
Netflix has already said that we.
1:12:22
They're going to do a sequel and they're thinking about doing a lot.
1:12:25
They're saying that they're going to do a live action version too.
1:12:28
So I'm, I'm like, oh, okay.
1:12:30
Yeah, I figured something out.
1:12:32
Huh.
1:12:33
Let's not wait four to five years though.
1:12:38
As long as I gotta give him credit.
1:12:41
What'd you say?
1:12:42
Lady Manor?
1:12:42
As long as it doesn't look like something out of.
1:12:45
Oh, what the hell's the name of that, that really bad black and white movie.
1:12:50
But like the blood was red.
1:12:52
I forgot the name of the movie.
1:12:53
Sin City or the Dame To Kill For.
1:12:55
Dan.
1:12:56
To Kill For.
1:12:57
A Dame To Kill for was different since the original Sin City was completely fine because that's how it was told in the comics or in the graphic novel.
1:13:04
But they waited 10 years to do A Dame To Kill for and it was the, the hype was dead by then.
1:13:11
Yeah, yeah.
1:13:12
I'm not even, not even talking about the, the black and white aspect but just the way that it's shot.
1:13:18
Oh that poster board looking background with the real people coming.
1:13:23
As long as it don't look like that.
1:13:24
Oh no, no.
1:13:25
Fine.
1:13:26
No, I think they, they have a Good thing on their hands.
1:13:28
Problem is Netflix has a problem of you have a hot commodity and you have people wrapped in, and then you say, okay, let's give them a series, or you already have, or it's a series or it's a movie,
1:13:42
and then wait to have that second season, third season, fourth season, fifth season.
1:13:49
They want to milk that cow for all it's worth.
1:13:53
Yeah.
1:13:53
You know, and you.
1:13:55
You wait four or five years before you.
1:13:58
You.
1:13:58
Like.
1:13:58
I can't even remember what the last one was about.
1:14:02
You know, it was like, I missed it.
1:14:04
You know, like.
1:14:05
But the animation is.
1:14:06
Is if you like Spider man, across the spider verse and beyond the spider verse.
1:14:12
That's.
1:14:12
That's Demon Hunters.
1:14:13
It's.
1:14:13
It's in that same vein of animation.
1:14:15
I wouldn't doubt that the same people are behind it.
1:14:19
They pretty much said, we know you're all waiting for beyond the spider verse, but in the meantime, here's this.
1:14:23
Yeah, in the meantime, they just got Shamik Moore in the voice booth.
1:14:27
So get that guy.
1:14:28
Ask about Haley.
1:14:30
Do not ask about it.
1:14:32
Get that guy a friend, a therapist, a dog, something.
1:14:36
Yeah, like, don't.
1:14:38
Don't ask about Haley.
1:14:39
Just go in there and read your lines like, we got two years.
1:14:45
Just get it.
1:14:46
Get a friend.
1:14:49
Just get a.
1:14:50
Get a designated friend.
1:14:51
Just get a.
1:14:52
At this point, I'm gonna say get a sponsor, but a friend and a sponsor.
1:14:56
But, yeah, they said, oh, you ask about them.
1:14:59
We're gonna show that scene from Sinners that you don't like.
1:15:01
That's too bad.
1:15:07
Look, the scene from center has got everybody surprised.
1:15:09
Are you drooling that.
1:15:13
That scene had everybody twisted.
1:15:15
Like, we.
1:15:16
Like Madam.
1:15:20
I didn't know.
1:15:21
But okay.
1:15:23
Yeah.
1:15:25
So Lady Mandalore, one of our favorite aunties, is going to be in another project.
1:15:34
Which one?
1:15:36
Oh, Michelle Yo.
1:15:38
Michelle Yo.
1:15:39
Is going to be in a Blade Runner 2099.
1:15:43
Okay.
1:15:44
20 is set for 26.
1:15:46
2026 debut.
1:15:50
I think what they're trying to do with the Blade Runner franchise franchise is the same thing that they're doing with the Alien and Predator franchise.
1:15:57
I think they're just kind of.
1:15:59
Let's pump some blood back into this.
1:16:01
The.
1:16:01
The.
1:16:02
The.
1:16:05
The fan base is there.
1:16:08
There's a fan base with Blood Runner.
1:16:10
But it's such a.
1:16:14
They didn't answer the question.
1:16:15
I.
1:16:15
I'll sum this up.
1:16:16
I'll sum up a long rant in just a few short sentences.
1:16:20
You never answer the question from the first movie.
1:16:23
That has always been a debate for all Blade Runner fans.
1:16:26
And they never answer the question.
1:16:29
And what's the question?
1:16:30
Was Decker Replicant.
1:16:32
Ah, well, now we have to talk to Harrison Ford now.
1:16:36
And you know, he's not going to say anything.
1:16:37
He's not gonna say.
1:16:40
He's not saying anything.
1:16:41
But like I discussed, what was it last week we discussed it or the week before, the odds of Blade.
1:16:48
I think the, I think the Blade Runner franchise or the mythos is tied into the Predator and Alien universe as well.
1:16:58
Yeah, didn't we find out that was all in the same universe or something like that?
1:17:04
Yeah, I believe, I believe it is.
1:17:06
They're probably one of the, one of the corporations that we no longer hear about pretty much because it's all whaling.
1:17:14
So.
1:17:15
But no, Michelle yo has been in a lot of sci fi esque type projects lately.
1:17:21
She's like, she did more to dip her toe in it.
1:17:24
She dived in and hasn't lit up.
1:17:28
Loved her, loved her in Star Trek section 30, section 31.
1:17:32
Loved her in that movie and Discover.
1:17:36
I mean Discovery itself.
1:17:38
When she was on a couple of those episodes, she was really good.
1:17:40
Yeah, like, it's Michelle, yo, how can you.
1:17:43
Like, she's gonna bring some kind of heat to the game.
1:17:47
I'm with it.
1:17:48
I'm surprised I haven't seen her in more.
1:17:51
I think she's leaning away from like more physical action type stuff.
1:17:57
Like, I mean she's done quite the number, she's done quite the number of, of, of stunts.
1:18:04
So would you look at the catalog that her Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Donnie Yen.
1:18:10
When you look at their catalog of movies, you're just like, I can't believe I haven't seen this.
1:18:16
It's like it's just another movie after.
1:18:18
I'm like, yo, you, it's just movie after movie after movie after movie.
1:18:23
Like you've been in it like since your 20s.
1:18:27
And I mean fighting, fighting grown men.
1:18:30
That's why I always tell people, look, if you were a stunt woman for 30 years, you got hands.
1:18:37
The minute she said, yeah, I've worked with Jackie Chanson, I'm like, yeah, you need to.
1:18:41
I don't need to know anything else.
1:18:43
Like, I know you worked.
1:18:44
You're like, it shows.
1:18:47
And they're still, and still doing it.
1:18:49
Like in Jackie Chan's case, how are you almost dang near in your 70s and still doing movies?
1:18:53
Still doing, still physically doing movies.
1:18:56
That's the part.
1:18:57
That's the part.
1:18:58
Because you keep your body in check.
1:19:01
You don't, you keep that machine well oiled.
1:19:04
What is that name Clint Eastwood.
1:19:07
Eastwood.
1:19:07
Like, but he's not doing all that.
1:19:10
Don't.
1:19:10
Don't do that.
1:19:11
No, he's just.
1:19:12
He's just sitting in chairs and slowly walking into camera shots and grow and grunting.
1:19:18
I mean, that's just.
1:19:19
That's just like Jet Lee.
1:19:20
That's like Jet Lee getting offset.
1:19:21
It's like, oh, I think I can take him.
1:19:23
No, don't.
1:19:25
Don't let the slow walk fool you.
1:19:29
Jet Lee is teaching the next generation of martial artists.
1:19:36
That's all I need to know.
1:19:37
Like, they recently showed a video, and I'm like, oh, it's.
1:19:40
Oh, he looks healthy.
1:19:42
He's fine.
1:19:44
He looks good.
1:19:45
Lucky freaking ducks.
1:19:47
Although I would never.
1:19:49
I would never want to cross him anywhere.
1:19:51
Like, no, have you seen him?
1:19:52
Or Donnie Yen?
1:19:54
I just.
1:19:54
I just want to learn Wushu.
1:19:56
That's all I want to learn.
1:19:58
You ain't gotta teach me all six styles.
1:19:59
Just one.
1:20:03
Crazy how they.
1:20:04
How they pull that together.
1:20:06
But once again, they, like.
1:20:10
I hate that they name this.
1:20:11
This particular station Haya.
1:20:13
I hate that they named it Haya.
1:20:15
I still.
1:20:16
That still bothers me.
1:20:18
Crazy.
1:20:21
And it's still.
1:20:21
It's still around, and I'm like, y' all couldn't call it, like, the Kung Fu Action Network or something?
1:20:26
Like, you just had to call it Haya.
1:20:29
What Western idea came up with this?
1:20:32
I get that it's catchy, but the same, like, kind of cringy.
1:20:35
It's almost like, can we.
1:20:36
It's almost like you don't want to say it.
1:20:38
It's like, hey, you know that network, right?
1:20:40
What network?
1:20:41
You know, the one with the martial arts on it?
1:20:43
I don't know the name of it.
1:20:44
You really gonna make me say it?
1:20:46
That sounds racist.
1:20:48
I don't care.
1:20:49
I know.
1:20:50
Nah, nah, there's.
1:20:52
There's no.
1:20:54
Like, just like, man, I just seen this dope movie, and it was like this person in Donnie Yen, and he was doing.
1:20:59
So what's it.
1:21:00
What's the station?
1:21:01
Hi.
1:21:02
Yeah.
1:21:02
What?
1:21:06
You know, like I said, of all things, you could have called it just really.
1:21:09
Just keep waiting for Uncle Roger to pop up out of nowhere.
1:21:14
You could have.
1:21:15
You could have.
1:21:15
You could have called anything but that.
1:21:17
I'm like, that is just.
1:21:20
That's too on the nose.
1:21:21
I swear.
1:21:22
It's just not right.
1:21:23
That was a Westerner type of thing.
1:21:25
Now it had to be.
1:21:27
That was a Westerner night.
1:21:28
Hey, we can call it Haya only because the way the meeting has gone so long, we don't even care at this point.
1:21:37
So I.
1:21:39
Because nobody of color was in that room when that was made the decision.
1:21:44
There was nobody of that descent that said that had any kind of pushback.
1:21:56
The check was big enough for them to say, you know what?
1:21:58
As long as the money clears.
1:22:00
Yeah, as long as the money clears.
1:22:05
Not my problem.
1:22:06
Screw it.
1:22:10
Lean into the.
1:22:11
Into the.
1:22:12
The.
1:22:14
Whatever the.
1:22:14
It is.
1:22:15
The stereotype.
1:22:16
Sure, whatever.
1:22:18
Yeah.
1:22:23
It sounds.
1:22:23
It sounds like.
1:22:24
It sounds like a cod.
1:22:25
It sounds like a cottage you would get from a discount dojo that was next to it.
1:22:29
Oh, crap.
1:22:30
I just almost went racist.
1:22:31
Look, it was either.
1:22:33
You know what?
1:22:33
It was either that or they probably had other submissions, and they were probably even worse.
1:22:38
So we're just like, this is probably the least offensive one we could use.
1:22:45
I was gonna have a chaos team in a moment.
1:22:46
I was gonna say Dim Sum Theater.
1:22:49
Oh, no.
1:22:52
That's probably why I don't.
1:22:55
No, but Mouse at that.
1:22:56
Yeah.
1:22:56
Jackie's 71.
1:22:57
I knew he was like, a late 60s, early 70s.
1:23:00
He's still king Buttons later.
1:23:01
Yeah, that.
1:23:02
I don't know if that dropped yet.
1:23:05
Shadow's Edge.
1:23:06
Shadow's Edge will be coming out in a few months.
1:23:08
Not yet.
1:23:09
So, yeah.
1:23:11
Parked a car in the harbor yard.
1:23:13
Jesus.
1:23:15
So, yeah, it's.
1:23:16
It's.
1:23:17
That's a.
1:23:17
That's a nice little group of.
1:23:22
Of actors slash martial artists who people were really sleeping on, like, and they just didn't know.
1:23:30
Like, I knew who Jackie Chan was when I seen him in Cannonball Run 2.
1:23:38
And that's.
1:23:38
And that's because the car that man was driving, I was like, yo, me and my brother wanted that car.
1:23:44
Like, this car was going underwater.
1:23:46
Had a periscope and all this other turbo boost and.
1:23:51
And the driver can fight.
1:23:54
But it wasn't his first leading role.
1:23:59
No.
1:23:59
As far as.
1:24:00
As far as in the States, it wasn't his first leading role.
1:24:03
But, yeah, when he.
1:24:05
When I started seeing him on stuff, I'm like, I know that dude.
1:24:08
I was like, I know that dude.
1:24:10
That made me think, what was his first one?
1:24:12
I saw Snake and Crane.
1:24:15
I think it's.
1:24:16
I think Secretary was the first one I saw with Jackie Chan in it.
1:24:19
There's a movie that Jet Li did, and it was a young boy, and I.
1:24:25
This young boy, he played his son.
1:24:27
It was something of the Red Dragon.
1:24:31
Not.
1:24:31
I don't know.
1:24:32
I don't think it was Cursed Red Jacket.
1:24:33
But he played his son.
1:24:34
This little boy had to been, like, seven or eight at the time.
1:24:39
At the time, I'm like, he's a full grown adult.
1:24:41
Enough.
1:24:42
By now, I'd have to look that up and find like, what is this kid doing now?
1:24:46
Traces of a dragon.
1:24:47
No, no, no, no.
1:24:49
Okay, sorry.
1:24:52
Yeah, that's what it was.
1:24:53
The brick.
1:24:54
It was the big brawl.
1:24:55
Okay.
1:24:57
It was the big brawl.
1:25:00
That circle was titled there.
1:25:01
They.
1:25:02
They worked.
1:25:03
They did a lot of work.
1:25:05
Rumble in the Bronx was the US release.
1:25:07
That was the US's first introduction to Jackie Chan was that movie.
1:25:11
Yeah, that was it.
1:25:12
That was everybody else.
1:25:13
They were just like, oh.
1:25:14
I'm like, yeah, y'.
1:25:15
All.
1:25:15
Wait.
1:25:16
We.
1:25:16
We know who this guy is.
1:25:19
Clearly we know who this guy is.
1:25:22
So.
1:25:24
Also, Marvel Zombies, they pushed up their premiere date to September.
1:25:30
Actually, I'm just trying to see who all I can recognize in this screenshot because I'm seeing a Koye front and center.
1:25:38
Really pretty.
1:25:38
That's definitely a Koi front and center.
1:25:41
Which means.
1:25:45
Yep.
1:25:46
Abomination.
1:25:47
Yeah.
1:25:48
Misty Night standing behind her.
1:25:50
Good Lord.
1:25:51
I wonder how this is going to turn out.
1:25:54
If it's going to turn out anything like the comic.
1:25:58
And are they going to be cognizant?
1:26:04
Probably not.
1:26:05
I want to say we get Walking Dead.
1:26:10
Wait, like later season.
1:26:11
Walking Dead.
1:26:13
Yeah.
1:26:15
Not them.
1:26:16
When it was still good.
1:26:17
Okay.
1:26:19
Like Pete, Megan.
1:26:21
I'll put it that way.
1:26:23
Right when you met Negan and the Saviors, that's when you can sit there and say, roll credits right there.
1:26:27
After that point, it's all downhill.
1:26:29
Yeah.
1:26:34
So, yeah, they.
1:26:34
They're saying.
1:26:35
But they're saying that's being moved up to September.
1:26:38
They're saying there's gonna be some surprises in it.
1:26:40
I don't know what that means outside of who they're having do certain voices.
1:26:49
I don't know what that means.
1:26:51
I'm not even seeing who they're saying as far as voice.
1:26:56
As far as voice work is being done.
1:26:58
I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if they're doing Marvel Zombies and they're bringing Wanda back to discuss it, you know, to do her voice work.
1:27:08
But I'm.
1:27:10
I'm stand.
1:27:11
I'm.
1:27:12
Go ahead.
1:27:12
L.
1:27:13
They're gonna have Ghost Abomination, Captain Marvel, Scarlet Witch, Hawkeye ao, and Captain America, at least.
1:27:21
But you're getting voice work from David, from David Harbor.
1:27:26
I never could say this man's name right.
1:27:28
Similu.
1:27:30
Oh, thank you.
1:27:32
Randall Park, Florence Pugh, Haley Seinfeld, Domini Thorne, Iman Villani, and Todd Williams.
1:27:40
Oh.
1:27:41
Basically all our favorites.
1:27:42
Okay.
1:27:42
Okay.
1:27:45
I don't believe that Chris Evans has voiced Captain America in any of the Animated.
1:27:50
He hasn't.
1:27:51
He hasn't.
1:27:52
He hasn't.
1:27:53
They.
1:27:53
They normally go and get.
1:27:56
I can't think I want to say it's Chuck Testistic or same guy who voiced him in the Marvel.
1:28:00
In the game.
1:28:01
Yeah, the game and some of the cartoons.
1:28:07
Is that how you say it?
1:28:08
Tattoo story.
1:28:09
Is it?
1:28:10
They, it.
1:28:10
They tend to the same with, the same with Iron Man.
1:28:12
They tend to go with the guys who done the voice work for the cartoons already, you know, so hey, that's, it's, it's worth looking at.
1:28:23
I mean I don't, I think the reason, the fact that they meant you mentioned Randall Park.
1:28:29
I'm still mad that we did not get a Woo and Darcy spin off.
1:28:35
That would be funny.
1:28:37
I wanted to.
1:28:38
After, after Juan Division, I wanted a Woo and Darcy spin off.
1:28:42
It would have made sense that you can top.
1:28:44
You can tie them across several different.
1:28:46
You can tie them across several different Marvel characters and still maintain continuity.
1:28:52
Good.
1:28:53
You give it, you give it an X Files types twist, but it's comedic.
1:28:59
Why not?
1:29:00
I like that.
1:29:02
Like it was, it was, it was writing itself.
1:29:05
Yeah, it was writing itself.
1:29:07
If you're, if you're not going to give us Luis, you could have gave us, you could have gave us Agent Wu and Darcy.
1:29:14
You have, you had a way to keep everything kind of intertwined that could have been its own.
1:29:22
It could have been a limited series.
1:29:23
It could have been like a two or three, two or three season series.
1:29:27
It didn't have to be an ongoing, ongoing after like maybe three seasons.
1:29:30
But you could have had something.
1:29:33
We could have had Louise.
1:29:35
Yeah, because especially, especially after you like Marvel used to do the one shots.
1:29:40
Right.
1:29:41
Which I absolutely loved because like these were just stories that were just off the beaten path.
1:29:47
Like they had one where the couple.
1:29:49
This was right after the, the battle of New York and the couple had found all those weapons and they were just trying to figure out a way to make money.
1:29:58
I said, and then you had to Phil Coulson one like on his way to Arizona to the Thor sighting.
1:30:04
You know, he's.
1:30:05
He's stopping a robbery with a pack of powdered donuts.
1:30:09
Don't ask.
1:30:11
So even the Thor roommate.
1:30:14
One shot that they had.
1:30:16
The one shots were fun.
1:30:19
One shots were fun.
1:30:20
But I don't know.
1:30:22
You could have had a Woo and Darcy spin off X File style comedic twist still kept everything continuity and just came up with little stuff that wasn't mentioned in the show or in a movie and enrolled with it.
1:30:38
I don't know that's the thing, though, that.
1:30:41
That just goes to show, you see, versus what Marvel was trying to push out beforehand, where they kept pushing out shows with no connection, no quality, no direction, no seasoning.
1:30:54
So tell me if I'm wrong.
1:31:00
No seasoning.
1:31:01
This is where.
1:31:01
Is this what James Gunn was talking about?
1:31:04
Is this what he was talking about?
1:31:07
He's like, they kind of half got it.
1:31:10
They don't have it all the way.
1:31:12
That's the thing.
1:31:13
So that's why I was.
1:31:14
That's why I was like, it's amazing, like, coming up with small stuff like that.
1:31:17
Not only is it.
1:31:19
It's budget friendly because again, it doesn't require a big budget for a show.
1:31:23
Like you said, it has.
1:31:24
It revolves around a certain theme and you have the ability to drop in characters and be practical.
1:31:31
I.
1:31:31
I don't see how that's.
1:31:32
I don't see how that's not a win, win situation.
1:31:35
Oh, God, it just dawned on me.
1:31:37
They could have done that show and did an episode where Darcy says, I got a guy that knows somebody.
1:31:44
And it's.
1:31:45
And it turns out the guy she got is Luis.
1:31:48
Oh, that could have been a whole thing.
1:31:50
We gotta bring him back.
1:31:53
That could have been that.
1:31:54
That episode alone would have been hilarious.
1:31:57
Like, because as soon as you hear the bongo drums, like, and we're off, he's like, how did he know this?
1:32:08
Like, so.
1:32:08
Yeah, I.
1:32:10
There.
1:32:13
This is something that Lady Mandalore actually touched on before, and I agree with her.
1:32:16
And it was something that James Gunn even confirmed.
1:32:20
He said, look, they have certain things that are done.
1:32:25
Not all of it.
1:32:27
Not everything is done.
1:32:28
Which is why we didn't get the Blade script yet.
1:32:32
Not everything was done.
1:32:33
Everything was announced before script was done.
1:32:36
Which is, to me, very weird and very bass ackwards.
1:32:40
Yes, I said that.
1:32:42
Just how it sound best ackwards to.
1:32:45
To kind of think like one.
1:32:49
People are going to go see a Marvel project.
1:32:52
You don't have to race because it's a superhero project.
1:32:56
People are going to go see whether it's Marvel or DC or Image, it doesn't matter.
1:33:01
They'll go see it.
1:33:03
So you didn't have.
1:33:04
There was no race to win.
1:33:05
You were already there anyway.
1:33:08
All you had to do was take your time, write the script, saying what.
1:33:13
What we want to have done.
1:33:14
Like you said, you have.
1:33:17
Do you have any treatments done at all?
1:33:23
All the writers, all the source material, and all you had to do was sit down with a group of them and say, you guys got two years.
1:33:32
Write Me a story.
1:33:33
That's it.
1:33:34
Sit down in the room.
1:33:35
I think what happens is Marvel's first phase was fine.
1:33:44
Their second phase was fine, too.
1:33:46
I think at that particular time, they still had everybody kind of, like, in the room and could kind of bounce off each other and say, okay, don't do that, because this is happening over here.
1:33:58
So we don't want to get that mixed up, which is what you should do.
1:34:02
Right.
1:34:04
Like you said, the.
1:34:06
Not.
1:34:06
Not everybody.
1:34:08
Not everybody was.
1:34:09
Everybody was in different rooms in a hotel, but nobody was in the kitchen.
1:34:12
Nobody.
1:34:13
Not everybody was in the kitchen.
1:34:14
I want to do this.
1:34:15
Well, I want to do this.
1:34:16
I'm like, nobody's talking to anybody, you know, so you kind of lose.
1:34:22
You kind of lose your footy.
1:34:26
Lady.
1:34:26
Lady.
1:34:26
Mandalore is watching Alien.
1:34:27
I can tell because my eyes are going to the right.
1:34:34
I'm trying.
1:34:37
I'm listening to y' all and trying to jump it in the conversation where I think I have something, but I'm also writing something, too.
1:34:46
Our very own globetrotting Reverend Navy Montel's in the building.
1:34:51
Coming to you live from the basement of the Whoopty, ladies and gentlemen.
1:35:01
If you.
1:35:02
If you don't know the reference, that's going to feel very, very.
1:35:10
So if anybody knows anything about what we're talking about.
1:35:13
I know Navy, look, he's like, it's probably Whoopty showing up in the.
1:35:17
It's Wolfie showing up in the carrot right here, y'.
1:35:23
All.
1:35:28
No, we were saying.
1:35:30
We were talking about.
1:35:32
We were talking about how the mcu, like James Gunn, he confirmed that, you know, there's a lot of projects that they have that they jump the gun on.
1:35:43
They announced projects that.
1:35:45
There was no scripts yet, not even.
1:35:48
Probably not even any treatments just yet.
1:35:51
And I think they depended on the.
1:35:55
The.
1:35:56
The momentum that they already had.
1:36:00
And I think this is why a lot of.
1:36:03
And I'm gonna refer to the Eternals, which had great promise to tell a good story, but I'd probably say the wrong.
1:36:16
I'd probably say the wrong director.
1:36:18
The script was there, at least from what you could tell, but I think that it wasn't the right direction because, see, you had a group of characters that, on face front, general public do not know who they are.
1:36:32
True.
1:36:33
Similar to comics.
1:36:35
So you have no idea.
1:36:36
Right.
1:36:37
Similar to Guardians of the Galaxy.
1:36:39
Nobody really knew or cared about the Guardians of the Galaxy.
1:36:43
James Gunn took a ragtag band of characters, probably considered like C or D list in most retrospects, and said, let's Give them their own separate thing and.
1:36:57
And really wrap this up in bowl and.
1:37:00
And tell this story.
1:37:01
I think Eternals suffered because they kind of force these characters in and they threw this story together.
1:37:11
Especially when you find out who the antagonists are and everything else.
1:37:14
And I'm like, this was a perfect example of you could have tied this right into Thanos and called it a day.
1:37:22
I mean, that.
1:37:23
Again, it goes back to what you said.
1:37:26
You.
1:37:26
Gun.
1:37:27
Gun.
1:37:27
Figured out how to take a bunch of lesser known Marvel characters, characters, humanize them, and make them relatable in a story that everybody could pick up versus the Eternals, where it's like, hey, we're shiny.
1:37:42
I mean, you had.
1:37:43
You had deviants.
1:37:46
I think the other thing that stands out with the difference between James Gunn and the director for Eternals, I don't know if they weren't allowed, but they were strongly urged to not read the goddamn comics.
1:38:02
That part, too.
1:38:02
James is not with the shits on that very.
1:38:07
Even to the point where he was talking about how they made him change the colors to the goddamn infinity.
1:38:13
The stones.
1:38:14
Yeah, the stones.
1:38:15
He thought it was ridiculous, and it was goddamn ridiculous.
1:38:18
But if you have somebody that is like, I just want to have the experience of working on a superhero film, sorry, lady, you're.
1:38:29
You're not gonna have the same level of care.
1:38:31
And it's not.
1:38:31
It's going to show.
1:38:32
It's gonna.
1:38:33
Shown in the last couple of movies and TV shows that they've done.
1:38:38
Yeah, yeah.
1:38:39
Had this conversation before.
1:38:40
This is one thing that puts James Gunn ahead of everyone else, because he's a genuine comic book fan, and you could tell in his work, you can tell by his love.
1:38:48
And when you.
1:38:50
You see these projects that are slapped together and thrown out there and just they're waiting for people to react.
1:38:56
Comic book fans, whether they're new, they're veterans, or they're.
1:39:01
Or they're getting it from their friends, they can tell when there's a level of pride and where the source material is implemented into the project.
1:39:10
Eternals is one of those where I like the movie, but I didn't because I read the comics.
1:39:17
And just like that, Chris and Spartan, we read the comics, we know what these characters are all about, and they dropped the ball.
1:39:27
So if you don't know the source material, especially as an actor, if you're taking on the role of, let's say, Icarus from Eternals, read the comics.
1:39:35
You see how he genuinely was of a.
1:39:38
Of a specific mindset, and he performed a certain way and he acted a certain way and that along with the other ones, even sprite to a point.
1:39:47
And I said, okay.
1:39:49
And I said, let me give this a shot.
1:39:50
And I watched and said, well, I enjoyed it, but this was so tone deaf.
1:39:53
It wasn't even funny.
1:39:55
And special effects heavy for no reason.
1:39:59
Yeah, I liked.
1:40:03
No, there's.
1:40:04
There's definitely elements for.
1:40:05
For that movie to be liked.
1:40:06
It's.
1:40:06
It's elements in that film to be liked.
1:40:08
It really is.
1:40:10
When they started talking about the deviants and how they were advancing and everything else, we know, me and Spartan and Navy, we know Thanos has a deviant gene.
1:40:24
He's not like.
1:40:26
He's not like the rest of the people on Titan.
1:40:28
He was actually ostracized.
1:40:31
The way he looked from birth.
1:40:34
You know, it's a deviant gene.
1:40:37
He's.
1:40:37
He's, quote unquote, a mutant from his own planet.
1:40:41
And.
1:40:42
But the ideas he had were.
1:40:43
Were radicalized and, and everything else.
1:40:46
And I said, this is a perfect way that you're showing these creatures or this creature set of creatures who are advancing and then learning to talk and doing this.
1:40:56
There was a way to.
1:40:57
You could switch that.
1:40:59
And it was like.
1:41:00
And this is how Thanos came about.
1:41:04
Perfect, Perfect angle to go into Thanos's backstory while explaining what deviants were.
1:41:09
Because I guarantee you, people who were.
1:41:11
Were introduced to Thanos through the phase one thought that everyone on Titan looked like Thanos, right?
1:41:22
That's not the case.
1:41:23
You never seen anybody else from.
1:41:25
From Titan.
1:41:28
So it was there.
1:41:28
There was.
1:41:29
There was that whole level of y' all kind of dropped the ball and.
1:41:34
And they dragged it out and it took them forever to kind of wrap some stuff up.
1:41:39
You know, took Sam to wrap it up.
1:41:42
So.
1:41:43
And right now with Justice League, if they decide to go in a proper direction, they could introduce way more characters who've had more of an impact in the DC DC comic universe.
1:41:57
For instance, Dark side, long overdue.
1:42:01
Introducing Apocalypse, the New Gods, you know, the Tomorrow People introducing them because they have had such an influence in this.
1:42:09
In the story lines.
1:42:10
And Darkseid is one of Superman's main villains.
1:42:13
So how are you not introducing this character who's had such a huge impact?
1:42:18
Yeah.
1:42:20
So I think I want to say, is it casting?
1:42:23
Because if it's casting, I can live with it.
1:42:25
Because you gotta have.
1:42:27
You gotta have the right person to play Dark side.
1:42:29
See, here's the thing, and I'm.
1:42:31
Use Eternals again.
1:42:33
The casting was fine.
1:42:37
Your story could have.
1:42:40
Could have used some Little punching up, but was okay, but direction was not there.
1:42:47
Lady Mandalore is about to do.
1:42:50
I think that.
1:42:51
But the direction wasn't there.
1:42:53
I.
1:42:53
I'm.
1:42:53
I'm thinking about Nia Dacosta and the Marvels and what she.
1:42:56
What she was quoted as saying today.
1:43:00
I' ma say it the way that she should, that she wanted to say it.
1:43:03
Y' all raggedy gave me a half ass lazy trip.
1:43:08
And you lucky.
1:43:09
You lucky I'm talented enough to detract from the.
1:43:13
That y' all gave me to work with.
1:43:15
So you're welcome.
1:43:17
Like, you can't expect.
1:43:18
Oh, God, it's so.
1:43:19
It's so frustrating because the answer is right there in front.
1:43:23
I.
1:43:24
Yeah.
1:43:25
I have said these words a billion different goddamn ways.
1:43:29
It's.
1:43:29
It's.
1:43:29
I really hope going forward they are pulling themselves out of the hole that they have dug themselves into, because it's.
1:43:38
It's.
1:43:38
To me, it's still a mess.
1:43:40
It's still a mess.
1:43:41
And the fact that James has.
1:43:44
What I knew that she was gonna.
1:43:47
Knew it.
1:43:47
James, I believed in you.
1:43:48
James has got one movie out, and it's.
1:43:50
It.
1:43:51
No one is talking about Marvel.
1:43:54
No one is talking about Marvel, good or bad at this point.
1:43:59
There's a paradigm shift.
1:44:01
Yeah.
1:44:01
Yeah.
1:44:01
And here's the thing.
1:44:03
Here's the thing.
1:44:04
Like I said before, me as a fan of comics, period.
1:44:08
I'm going to see either or.
1:44:09
It don't matter.
1:44:10
Like when they were.
1:44:11
When Superman dropped and then what was it, a week or so later?
1:44:15
Fantastic forgery.
1:44:16
I want to go see both.
1:44:18
Same.
1:44:19
However I am, I'm still more excited about.
1:44:23
God, don't make me love you.
1:44:28
The love is already there.
1:44:29
You just don't deny it.
1:44:30
Just.
1:44:31
Just let it go, baby.
1:44:32
Just let it go.
1:44:34
I'm.
1:44:34
I'm more excited to see Superman now.
1:44:39
Right now.
1:44:40
And I've seen the movie twice.
1:44:43
Compared to fantastic.
1:44:44
I agree with that.
1:44:45
Because that was because he got it right.
1:44:49
He was done.
1:44:50
He wasn't such a superpower being that he did not understand humanity.
1:44:54
He humanized him.
1:44:56
Exactly.
1:44:56
You saw him.
1:44:57
That's who he is.
1:44:58
You saw him go through pain, but you also could relate to everything he said.
1:45:02
The way he moved and how he interacted.
1:45:05
That was what made Superman such a relatable and such a favorite.
1:45:09
But.
1:45:09
But even if you want to go deeper than that, those.
1:45:13
Those two series are completely.
1:45:16
Are.
1:45:17
They are completely different because one is family.
1:45:19
Family oriented.
1:45:20
Ish.
1:45:21
Like central family as opposed to found family.
1:45:25
Yes.
1:45:25
It's.
1:45:26
Yes.
1:45:26
Family.
1:45:26
Yeah.
1:45:27
You're Right.
1:45:27
That's.
1:45:27
That's.
1:45:28
That's a good way to put it.
1:45:29
Let's go with it.
1:45:30
So to not be able to hit the notes when they, for me, are two different movies.
1:45:38
It's like I got with Fantastic Four, I got.
1:45:42
Which Fantastic Four is Marvel's first family.
1:45:45
That's that they are.
1:45:46
They are known as Marvel's first family.
1:45:48
I got that family cohesiveness, that family unit.
1:45:52
I got that from that movie and then from Superman, that found family concept.
1:46:01
I got that.
1:46:03
You know, and.
1:46:04
And not only that, and.
1:46:06
And no shade to fan to ff.
1:46:08
I love the movie.
1:46:09
It was.
1:46:09
It was fun.
1:46:12
It was a lot of fun.
1:46:13
But, yes, I was very excited to go see Superman.
1:46:17
I.
1:46:18
It was a character I grew up, that I was exposed to first and.
1:46:22
And everything that he stood for.
1:46:24
Every iteration of that character that I've seen, except for one.
1:46:32
Except for one, has always embodied that.
1:46:36
That found family aspect, that humanity aspect of just trying to do it right, messing up, but keep getting up to do it again, giving second chance.
1:46:48
Even watch Smallville.
1:46:53
You watch Smallville.
1:46:54
And the fact that just watching that Clark and Lex dynamic and then how it breaks down over time, still great writing.
1:47:06
It's.
1:47:07
I gotta.
1:47:07
It was great writing that relationship.
1:47:11
It was just like, he saved his life.
1:47:12
He owed him a debt of gratitude, and he just.
1:47:15
He, like, hey, this dude saved my life.
1:47:17
He couldn't tell him who he was, of course, but they built a relationship.
1:47:23
And then over time, due to their paths going different directions and then finding out like, oh, you kept this from me.
1:47:33
And the other one, I can't tell you who I am because there is way too much involved and things can happen.
1:47:39
And then realizing, like.
1:47:41
And still, even throughout that time period, Lex can mess up.
1:47:46
Clark is like, I can give him another chance.
1:47:49
Yeah, that's Superman.
1:47:52
But that.
1:47:53
But also.
1:47:54
But also.
1:47:54
Can we say that I point this out as well?
1:47:58
Leading up to.
1:47:59
Leading up to Superman, the fact of the B roll stuff that we saw, like you saw.
1:48:04
You saw Corn Sweat in Superman gear, interacting with kids.
1:48:09
And I'm like, I know this is B roll material, but it's almost it.
1:48:14
It wasn't intended, but the way it was shot, the way it was recorded him talking with the kids, the kids interacting with him, feeling completely comfortable with him, would make you think it's a part of the movie.
1:48:27
When really right between takes.
1:48:30
Yeah, Tyler Hoechlin, he got that.
1:48:32
There's a scene and in that Lois and Superman show, it's the first episode and he's Has.
1:48:40
He has his classic suit on.
1:48:41
And he's.
1:48:42
He saves a kid, little black kid, and he talks to him.
1:48:46
He's like, oh, that's a cool suit.
1:48:47
He's like, thanks, my mom made it.
1:48:48
And he takes off.
1:48:49
And I'm like, it's so hokey, but that's who he is.
1:48:54
But the thing about it is, it's.
1:48:55
He's grounded.
1:48:56
Like the one thing we got from Superman, Lois.
1:48:58
And then we got Superman.
1:48:59
We got a grounded one.
1:49:01
It's.
1:49:02
It's one that he wants to.
1:49:04
He wants to basically be seen as an E.
1:49:07
He wants to be seen as accepted.
1:49:09
So it's.
1:49:10
That's what you really got from it.
1:49:11
Even.
1:49:11
Even his speech at the end, which again, I hate you, gun.
1:49:15
Because that speech was perfect at the end.
1:49:18
And combined with Lex's hatred and, you know, making one a.
1:49:22
A thing now, because apparently it's trademarked.
1:49:24
But the thing, but again, it's crypto, on the other hand, is just like, yeah, we ain't got time for that again.
1:49:32
That.
1:49:33
That just goes back to how you tie a movie.
1:49:35
If you can make a movie hit home on several notes, combine it with a good soundtrack.
1:49:39
Because God dang you, Mr.
1:49:41
Williams.
1:49:42
God dang you.
1:49:43
But.
1:49:44
But that's the thing.
1:49:45
Like new, like you said, Fantastic Four was great, but Marvel has a time problem.
1:49:49
You start this off right in the 60s.
1:49:52
I'm like, oh, you're going to fast forward them to the current.
1:49:57
I'm not.
1:49:58
Well, they're on the different Earth, so.
1:49:59
They're on the different Earth.
1:50:00
Yeah, they're on a different earth.
1:50:01
You're.
1:50:02
You're on a different Earth.
1:50:03
But I was always.
1:50:03
It's that fear of you fast forwarded and some people might get lost in the sauce on that.
1:50:11
Versus the rest of us were like, we're looking forward towards secret wars because we know, again, everybody in this room has his red sequel Wars.
1:50:18
I'm sure we know how integral the Fantastic Four are going to be in this.
1:50:22
And we also know how integral another person is going to be in this depending on how a certain movie will begin and end.
1:50:29
Speaking of which, that rumor just might be true about who came to.
1:50:34
Almost came to blows on that set.
1:50:38
Something about a joke went too far, and I don't know how far a joke could go.
1:50:44
I don't know.
1:50:45
My money, my money.
1:50:46
My money's on the guy in the red suit.
1:50:48
Oh, yeah.
1:50:48
Wait, which one?
1:50:49
Which one is that?
1:50:53
Well, one of them hung up the red suit and the other one didn't.
1:50:56
Thank You.
1:50:57
There we go.
1:50:57
Let's go with that.
1:50:58
The other one.
1:50:58
Okay.
1:50:59
I was gonna say, like, so.
1:51:01
Yeah, like, because I, I can.
1:51:03
I'm like, did you.
1:51:07
And.
1:51:07
And one of them is a good friend with ScarJo, and the other one used to be married to Scar Joe.
1:51:12
So.
1:51:13
Yeah.
1:51:14
Awkward.
1:51:17
Wait, who was married to Scarlett Johansson?
1:51:20
Ryan Reynolds.
1:51:21
Reynolds.
1:51:21
Shut the up.
1:51:22
No, he wasn't.
1:51:22
Yeah.
1:51:23
Yes, he was.
1:51:23
I think for like, like, for like two, three years.
1:51:26
They were married.
1:51:27
All right.
1:51:28
Wow.
1:51:29
She covered her whole face with her arms.
1:51:33
She covered her whole face with her arms.
1:51:35
Like forearm.
1:51:36
Oh, God.
1:51:38
Wow.
1:51:39
So if they happen to announce the second half of the cast and she shows up and I'm like, oh, that's why I said it'd be weird.
1:51:49
Especially Ryan Reynolds, the way he does cutbacks.
1:51:54
Yeah.
1:51:54
I mean, but I don't think that bad.
1:51:58
But yeah.
1:51:59
Once again, rumors.
1:52:00
I.
1:52:00
There's no.
1:52:01
There's no.
1:52:02
Allegedly it's those two arguing.
1:52:05
I don't know.
1:52:06
But I, I, I.
1:52:07
All I know is.
1:52:08
All I know is don't give a roaster time and ammo.
1:52:11
That's true.
1:52:13
You will get.
1:52:13
You will get your feelings hurt to the soul.
1:52:16
Thing is they both can roast so that I'm like, so, so.
1:52:22
Well, I guess it's that time.
1:52:29
Wrap up protocol initiated.
1:52:30
Captain, I want to thank our guest.
1:52:36
He's not here, but I want to thank our guest, Corey Davis from Rock Bottom Studios for coming on.

We have the creators, the artists come on, they tell us about their books, their stories, and we get to know them a little bit better so that you can like them a lot more.
1:54:05
Like us.
1:54:07
Fridays, I also stream video games.
1:54:10
I'm currently doing my very first RPG of Expedition 33.
1:54:15
It's kicking my ass.
1:54:18
And I'm also.
1:54:20
When I get tired of that, I start playing Star wars, legos, the Skywalker Saga.
1:54:26
And that's kind of kicking my ass, too.
1:54:28
Not gonna hold you.
1:54:29
Oh, no, I wasn't clapping for it.
1:54:31
Kick yet.
1:54:31
Oh, no, no, no.
1:54:32
It's just Lego Star wars is just fun.
1:54:34
No, it is.
1:54:35
It is.
1:54:36
It's the honesty for me.
1:54:37
It's kids kicking my ass.
1:54:38
It is.
1:54:38
It's kicking my little, little goddamn stepping block.
1:54:41
Goddamn toys.
1:54:44
They're fine.
1:54:44
They're fine.
1:54:45
I think.
1:54:45
I think I feel like I'm forgetting to do something, but I can't remember it right now.

It is my forehead.
1:57:41
That's when you know a brother is tired.
1:57:42
I was on the road for nine hours.
1:57:44
Let me tell you.
1:57:47
Normally, that is fine, but when you get in Atlanta, boy, it tests your endurance, let me tell you.
1:57:52
Well, you hit streets that just came out of a Our time slip or something.
1:57:56
Anyway, patience.
1:57:59
I.
1:57:59
I am on location here from today until Monday.
1:58:03
I'm here for DragonCon, so.
1:58:05
So if you are in Atlanta and you are at Dragon Con, come and find me.
1:58:08
You can't miss the beer.
1:58:09
Trust me, it's gonna be here, because this amazing lady and myself will be attending this convention, and we're gonna have fun.
1:58:17
We're gonna have a blast.
1:58:18
It's going to be fantastic.
1:58:19
Colossal.
1:58:22
Yeah.
1:58:23
There she is right there.
1:58:24
Yeah, right there.
1:58:25
See, she's right there.
1:58:26
Right there.
1:58:26
Not this one.
1:58:27
That one.
1:58:29
I'm up under this the way.
1:58:30
Because the way he was pointing, I was just like, I'm no lady.
1:58:37
It was long distance point.
1:58:39
Anywho.
1:58:41
To everyone who supported Atlanta Comic Con this past weekend, thank you.
1:58:44
It was phenomenal.
1:58:45
It was a lot of fun.
1:58:46
It was amazing.
1:58:47
Got to meet Tasha Scott.
1:58:49
She's in Atlanta, so I'm trying to talk her into coming to Dragon Con as well.
1:58:55
I'm getting back into my schedule, so if I reach out to you, ask you to be on the Blur Corn convos, please, don't, don't, don't.
1:59:00
Don't make too much of a big deal about it, because we talk about you, everything about you.
1:59:04
We elevate and motivate and encourage you, because we don't have enough of that in this world.
1:59:08
There's way too much drama and not enough positivity.
1:59:11
So if you're on that side, then guess what?
1:59:13
We're gonna have us.
1:59:14
We're gonna fight.
1:59:15
So that's Spartan.
1:59:18
We gonna fight.
1:59:19
I don't think I'm gonna get pulled in this anyway.
1:59:22

2:00:12
Again, protect your peace, check on your friends, go outside and touch grass, drink water.
2:00:18
Although right now the weather is not trying to kill us.
2:00:20
But you know it's.
2:00:21
It's false.

Be prepared if you're in the south.
