  Speaker 1: Some cool stuff there, all right. I was think of
• 0:07
  the last thing I picked up there, Gavin Fever. This
• 0:09
  is the kind of stuff that they Yeah, I mean
• 0:11
  they the weird stuff, eclectic stuff. Remember those birds with
• 0:16
  the red fluid in them, yea, on the table and
• 0:18
  they would drink water. I got one at Kevin. I
• 0:21
  thought you were going to say the rubber ducky with
• 0:23
  the devil Horne. Well they have those two.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they have a dozens of different rubber ducks.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: All right, So here's the Disney story. What's your Name
• 0:30
  in Springville at D twenty three? Which is this It's
• 0:36
  kind of a comic con for Disney fans, you know,
• 0:39
  and they throw them every now and then. Josh Diamarro
• 0:42
  announced that a second show would be added to alternate
• 0:46
  with Great Moments with mister Lincoln, you know on Main Street. Yeah,
• 0:51
  the new show. I told you about this some months ago.
• 0:54
  The new show, titled Walt Disney A Magical Life, was
• 0:58
  to feature an animatronic figure of Walt Disney delivering part
• 1:02
  of the story in his own voice, and then they
• 1:06
  were going to use some some archival recordings and a
• 1:08
  little bit of AI to flesh it out. And it
• 1:11
  was going to be an animatronic Walt Disney. Okay, now
• 1:14
  that received approval from Roy Disney's family. They didn't ask
• 1:19
  Walt's immediate family. Why did they not do that? Don't know?
• 1:26
  Walt's granddaughter Joanna Miller publicly opposing the project. Why does
• 1:31
  she care?
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Is she the one that's the activist who hates pretty
• 1:36
  much everything about her family?
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: This is a different one, is different one. She says
• 1:39
  that Walt did not want to be turned into a robot.
• 1:44
  I disagree, but anyway, Joanna is urging Disney fans to
• 1:47
  write the company to voice their opposition.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Walt.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Disney is famous for plussing, which means making ideas better.
• 1:55
  In this case, we think a little plussing could resolve
• 1:58
  the concerns, writes I own nine. A potential compromise could
• 2:02
  involve repurposing the animatronic into a different narrator, helping to
• 2:07
  tell Walt's story without directly turning him into an audio
• 2:11
  animatronic figure. The change could preserve the educational intent of
• 2:15
  the show, highlight Walt's legacy, avoid the issues the family
• 2:18
  has brought to light. But when this was being brought up,
• 2:22
  I said, what could go wrong?
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: I would have to think.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, no Walt Disney, but I would think I
• 2:31
  think he would be he would think it's cool.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: I do.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: I think has he appeared in like Disney movies, you know,
• 2:40
  had his own show. I think he was opposed to
• 2:42
  being he was. He was the infomercial before there was
• 2:46
  an infomercial. He made a deal with ABC and and
• 2:50
  they went along with it. He essentially got to advertise
• 2:53
  this new park that he was building and show you
• 2:56
  an hour long commercial every Sunday night.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: You know, I think the family should allow this to
• 3:02
  happen because they're going to say, you know, if okay,
• 3:05
  if we can't put Disney in, we're gonna we're gonna
• 3:07
  do Trump. We're gonna put Trump in there.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Well, Trump is in the wall a Hall of Presidents.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: He'll be busy.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah he's there. I mean, once you're a president, you're there.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Does he move? Yeah?
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: He does. And if you look at him closely, this
• 3:20
  is true. Disney thought for sure, like the rest of us,
• 3:24
  the Hillary was going to win that election, and if
• 3:27
  you look closely at him, looks like they repurposed the
• 3:31
  Hillary and made it into Trump at the last minute.
• 3:33
  Really seriously, look at his face.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: I hope they have him dancing to Ymca.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: That would be fun. Let's see. Of course, James Gunn
• 3:42
  has taking command of the DC superhero legacy at Warner Brothers,
• 3:48
  and his first project debuts I Think It's Tomorrow on Max.
• 3:53
  In an interview with Variety, James Gunn explained that Creature
• 3:56
  Commandos is just a small taste of what to expect.
• 4:00
  Here's what he said. I liked the idea of a
• 4:03
  soft intro into our universe in which metahumans exist, monsters exist,
• 4:08
  magic exists, and incredibly complicated political situations exist, and we
• 4:14
  see what the world of the DCU is through an
• 4:17
  animated perspective, where it costs as much to create a
• 4:21
  battlefield as it does to create a kitchen. He says.
• 4:25
  One of the main things that I want to establish
• 4:27
  is that you can do anything at DC Studios. We
• 4:31
  can make a complete we can make complete family fair,
• 4:35
  we can make something for a general audience like the
• 4:37
  Superman movie. We can make something that's violent and sexual
• 4:41
  like this, which I didn't think was that violent and sexual.
• 4:45
  He says. Peacemaker is more violent and more sexual. But
• 4:47
  I want every project to have its own voice. It
• 4:50
  isn't about creating a world in which everything is all
• 4:53
  sex and violence. It's about creating a world in which
• 4:55
  we can tell the story about one type of character
• 4:58
  in different genres. What he's saying is is that even
• 5:01
  though this is a cartoon for adults, it is in
• 5:04
  the DC Cinematic Universe. And there you go. He's also
• 5:09
  for everything. He also says that the guy he's got
• 5:11
  playing Superman, David corn Sweat, He's gonna blow everybody away.
• 5:15
  He's so happy with him. All right, here's Craven the
• 5:19
  Hunter opens not until December tenth. I saw the trailer
• 5:25
  for this before a Gladiator too. Well, you can watch
• 5:28
  the first eight minutes of the movie online right now.
• 5:30
  That's a lot. Yes, I would play it for you,
• 5:33
  but it's all Russian and it's all visual and visual
• 5:36
  and everything. But if you want to watch the first
• 5:38
  eight minutes of Craven the Hunter, just go to YouTube
• 5:41
  and search Craven the Hunter opening eight minutes and they'll
• 5:44
  have that for you.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: Tell us who Craven the Hunter is.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: He's a superman, not a supertt spider man villain, and
• 5:50
  he is the greatest hunter in the world. And he's
• 5:53
  decided that Spider Man is the ultimate prey. So's he's
• 5:56
  always been a villain, but in this one they're making
• 5:58
  him sort of an anti hero. Now, finally this I'm
• 6:03
  really enjoying this new Star Wars TV series, The Kid Show,
• 6:08
  The Kid Show, Skeleton Crew, And like me, the world
• 6:11
  is obsessed with the little Blue Elephant Man's hair. He
• 6:15
  has blue hair and it's a comb over. I don't
• 6:18
  know why. Well, what's great about this show is that
• 6:21
  it's it is an eighties Ambulin type movie. Okay, this
• 6:26
  whole plot you could take and put it in a
• 6:28
  southern California suburb. Okay, kids on bikes, they go to school,
• 6:33
  they're in trouble at school. They you know, they have
• 6:36
  you know, there's the bully, there's you know. And they
• 6:39
  go into the woods and find a spaceship and it's
• 6:43
  buried underground and they hit the wrong button and it
• 6:45
  takes off. You know, I mean, it's it's you could
• 6:47
  easily do that in a movie. You know, Young Carrie
• 6:50
  would have loved this. I totally would have. But this
• 6:52
  is this is is cool. But the promotional material for it,
• 6:56
  they were playing this the major Tom song from Peter
• 6:59
  Show yeah, using it to promote the show. Well, now
• 7:04
  they've gone way deep and they've decided that what you
• 7:08
  need is a hottise version of Peter Shilling's Major Tom.
• 7:16
  So if you just go online and look up Youngie Whim,
• 7:20
  you'll learn how to speak hotties like Job of the Hunt.
• 7:40
  The actually the song could help you learn how to
• 7:43
  speak it. You know the words to this law. The
• 7:46
  words are on the video Coreica. It's all there, So
• 7:52
  you can learn to speak hotties with this video.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: I think I like it better, and yeah, I think so.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Anyway, I'm right, I'm enjoying this stupid little Star Wars show.
• 8:20
  I have to say,
