- 6:19Speaker 5: after masterpiece after work of art after work of art,
- 6:22Speaker 5: and we just all we do is we eat, we eat.
- 6:26Speaker 2: Okay, as long as uh uh Ray Comics is providing

- 6:41Speaker 2: I'm like, do I need an omnibus? I need to

- 6:48Speaker 5: Getting around that, trust.
- 6:49Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, I have to go. I'll probably pick
- 6:54Speaker 2: my pool list up tomorrow before it decides to snow again. Yes,
- 6:59Speaker 2: I'm Northeast.
- 6:59Speaker 5: High right, I don't miss that.
- 7:04Speaker 2: I'm literally like, can you let this other stuff come
- 7:07Speaker 2: down first before you decide to throw over already?
- 7:11Speaker 5: You know Midwest and layers, Come on, man, I know
- 7:15Speaker 5: that vibe.
- 7:16Speaker 2: Bro. I'm just like, we were supposed to go out
- 7:19Speaker 2: of town this weekend to go see my son and
- 7:22Speaker 2: his family, and my wife was saying, you know, she
- 7:25Speaker 2: this was this was her plan. And I'm thinking to myself,
- 7:29Speaker 2: wait a minute, looking at the weather app and I'm like,
- 7:33Speaker 2: you sure about that? I've been watching for the past week.
- 7:37Speaker 2: Are you sure about that?
- 7:38Speaker 6: Oh?
- 7:38Speaker 2: My goodness? So uh you know what, mamma, I would
- 7:45Speaker 2: love for Stephanie to be on Storm. She's currently on
- 7:49Speaker 2: wonder Woman, I think as of issue twenty nine.
- 7:52Speaker 5: Yeah, episode of issue twenty nine. That was her debut.
- 7:57Speaker 2: Yeah, and I got mine both. That's that's another one,
- 8:02Speaker 2: because I don't know Stephanie is making me get wonder Woman,
- 8:07Speaker 2: because Stephanie is writing wonder Woman.
- 8:11Speaker 5: Bro, how do you feel think I feel about Street Sharks.
- 8:14Speaker 2: I would have never picked that exactly.
- 8:18Speaker 5: Exactly, like, Bro, I've got issues one, two, and three.
- 8:22Speaker 2: I'm hearing that. I'm hearing that her. She's already she
- 8:27Speaker 2: she quickly rolls in the ranks as being one of
- 8:29Speaker 2: my favorite writers. Really did like Nick, you're taking over
- 8:33Speaker 2: after Tom King.
- 8:36Speaker 6: Mmm.
- 8:38Speaker 5: Someone would say that's a hard act of follow Like, no,
- 8:40Speaker 5: it just one one track goes into another. And we
- 8:44Speaker 5: knew Stephanie was going to be able to slip into
- 8:47Speaker 5: that role because she's proven herself, how long she been
- 8:51Speaker 5: in the business man and proven herself. She's shown that
- 8:54Speaker 5: she's got this.
- 8:55Speaker 2: She is handling her business or shout out to Stephanie
- 8:58Speaker 2: Williams a staple in the industry right now. And if
- 9:05Speaker 2: you don't like it, she could she probably just you know, powerhouse,
- 9:08Speaker 2: lifty or whatever.
- 9:11Speaker 5: Oh, bro, let me.
- 9:13Speaker 2: It's nothing like finding out that's like, oh, one of
- 9:15Speaker 2: your favorite writers can powerlift too. I'm sorry what I've
- 9:19Speaker 2: seen it.
- 9:20Speaker 5: It's scary.
- 9:21Speaker 2: It's scary, but it's impressive.
- 9:23Speaker 5: That's true. Oh and speaking of real quicker comics, I
- 9:29Speaker 5: was gonna ask this later in the show, and since
- 9:30Speaker 5: you know, I don't get a chance to talk to
- 9:32Speaker 5: my comic loving brother, you know, like I do. What
- 9:35Speaker 5: the hell is DC doing? What the hell is DC doing?
- 9:40Speaker 5: So if y'all are not familiar, d C has doing
- 9:43Speaker 5: a cross collaboration with ae W, and they're doing one
- 9:48Speaker 5: with New Line Cinema, id W, Dynamite and two other companies.
- 9:59Speaker 5: It is the nutties thing I've ever seen.
- 10:01Speaker 2: You know what, Before we go further, I do want
- 10:04Speaker 2: to do. I want to bring our guests in. He
- 10:06Speaker 2: popped in Charlie Wilson, who has a new kickstarter for
- 10:10Speaker 2: Reaper number two. I want him to chime in on
- 10:13Speaker 2: this too. So Charlie, what's going on? Like?
- 10:18Speaker 8: Hey, brother, doing going on?
- 10:20Speaker 4: Man?
- 10:20Speaker 5: I see that title belt in the back, you know, man,
- 10:25Speaker 5: you flexing with the blaze and everything.
- 10:27Speaker 2: You know.
- 10:27Speaker 5: I ain't mad at.
- 10:29Speaker 9: My bad on the Lincoln said, I think on the
- 10:31Speaker 9: Itinerary said a fifteen. I thought't know if I was
- 10:34Speaker 9: supposed to be here the entire time or just show
- 10:35Speaker 9: up at my time.
- 10:36Speaker 8: I'm my bad.
- 10:38Speaker 2: What we what we like to do with our guests
- 10:40Speaker 2: is once they set their time and they come in,
- 10:42Speaker 2: we always ask them, hey, if you want to stick
- 10:44Speaker 2: around after your your initial interview, you are more than welcome. So,
- 10:50Speaker 2: but I want you might want to chime in on this. Uh,
- 10:54Speaker 2: maybe go ahead and talk and talk to him about
- 10:56Speaker 2: what's what's going on with DC.
- 10:57Speaker 5: So, DC, in my opinion, is is trying their best
- 11:01Speaker 5: to reinvent themselves or maybe make themselves more relevant now
- 11:05Speaker 5: they're doing cross collaborations. One did I because I work
- 11:08Speaker 5: at an LGS and I work at an LCS local
- 11:11Speaker 5: comic store, at the local game store, and on the
- 11:14Speaker 5: shelf I see AEW and DC, and then I see
- 11:20Speaker 5: DC with New Line Cinema, IDW, Dynamite, and I'm going,
- 11:26Speaker 5: what's going on? Have y'all gotten? You're not willing to
- 11:32Speaker 5: invest in other characters that you've created over the years.
- 11:36Speaker 5: You can't use the same three all the time. Now
- 11:39Speaker 5: you're cross collaborating with other companies really don't need you.
- 11:43Speaker 5: IDW doesn't need them, Dynamite doesn't need them.
- 11:49Speaker 9: I think it's more a thing of they need them.
- 11:52Speaker 9: What I'm looking at, obviously, DC is they wanted to
- 11:55Speaker 9: be too. They have the absolute universe that's going crazy
- 11:58Speaker 9: right now. But I'll talk about it before my stuff.
- 12:02Speaker 9: When you look at the best stories that came out
- 12:04Speaker 9: last year. Outside of Absolute, A lot of it came
- 12:06Speaker 9: from those indie stuff. When you're looking at the corpses,
- 12:09Speaker 9: you're looking at roots and madness better anything that anybody
- 12:12Speaker 9: else put out. The quality is there, so I think
- 12:15Speaker 9: there is smart for them to attach themselves and other stuff.
- 12:18Speaker 9: And then I've already said it before, I'd like to
- 12:20Speaker 9: see d C and Marvel start to kind of upload
- 12:23Speaker 9: other indie companies as well, because the more you make
- 12:25Speaker 9: comics more popular, the more you win as a whole.
- 12:28Speaker 9: Like you're never going to get washed out because you
- 12:30Speaker 9: have the Holy Trinity, you have the popular characters that
- 12:32Speaker 9: you're never going to lose any kind of love there.
- 12:36Speaker 9: But I think they're doing better. I think they're making
- 12:38Speaker 9: effort to do better. I just think the all put
- 12:41Speaker 9: it in their black characters. But that's the conversation for
- 12:43Speaker 9: a different day.
- 12:44Speaker 2: That's a conversation that has had a lot. That is
- 12:47Speaker 2: a conversation that has had a lot. Hey whoopie, especially
- 12:53Speaker 2: especially when it especially when it happens during VHM.
- 12:58Speaker 5: And it's just I mean that really tag.
- 13:01Speaker 2: I'm kind I'm kind of torn because I'm like, oh,
- 13:05Speaker 2: of course, I want to know more about a certain
- 13:08Speaker 2: adventure with Black lightningmore with Sam Wilson, or with with
- 13:12Speaker 2: lou Cage and Misty Night, of course, but I want
- 13:15Speaker 2: that all the time. I don't just want it during
- 13:20Speaker 2: this year.
- 13:22Speaker 5: But their focus DC's weakness to me is their focus
- 13:27Speaker 5: on the same grouping of characters. They have the universe,
- 13:32Speaker 5: and they have the characters to make even more phenomenal
- 13:36Speaker 5: stories come to life. You know, Chris now, you and I,
- 13:39Speaker 5: You and I whooptee talked about this before. Why is
- 13:42Speaker 5: the legion of superheroes not in the forefront. This is
- 13:45Speaker 5: a group of young heroes who have proven themselves.
- 13:50Speaker 2: Their heyday was like with the eighties and then partially
- 13:54Speaker 2: the nineties and then nothing. They don't they.
- 13:59Speaker 9: Don't want to take the l so they put themselves
- 14:02Speaker 9: in a particular conunctrum in which, because you haven't promoted
- 14:06Speaker 9: your newer characters, whenever you do anything around them, you're
- 14:09Speaker 9: not going to make the biggest profit because one, you
- 14:11Speaker 9: didn't do your due diligence of introducing them and getting
- 14:13Speaker 9: the familiar with people, and then on top of that,
- 14:16Speaker 9: you don't we haven't really educated fans on how to
- 14:19Speaker 9: support them. Because I think most people don't understand you
- 14:21Speaker 9: just buying a book off the shelf isn't directly supporting
- 14:24Speaker 9: the issue going on currently. You have to pre order,
- 14:26Speaker 9: you have to get a pullbox going so that when
- 14:28Speaker 9: your shot mixed the order, they know, oh, we have
- 14:31Speaker 9: this amount to buy, so DC and Market can look
- 14:33Speaker 9: at it and say there's interest in these books.
- 14:35Speaker 8: So because they haven't really educated the casual fann't how
- 14:37Speaker 8: to do that.
- 14:38Speaker 9: People just assume if I buy fifteen books off the shelf,
- 14:40Speaker 9: I'm directly supporting that run and not knowing why it's
- 14:43Speaker 9: even canceled like a week later.
- 14:47Speaker 2: Look, I am seeing so many cool verses in here,
- 14:50Speaker 2: like Pink Camera versus Dark Storm Technique versus Rubber Bandman,
- 14:55Speaker 2: this one called Mi Sick. This is Sister Samurai versus
- 14:58Speaker 2: Dark Claw. Now, I'm not going to hold you. I
- 14:59Speaker 2: will love see that. I would love to see that.
- 15:03Speaker 2: But and you're Rightlie, Charlie is there's not enough push,
- 15:08Speaker 2: which is why we pushed the indie comics now, because
- 15:11Speaker 2: which is why Indy, which is why Image came out
- 15:14Speaker 2: the gate. You know, hey, we got some stuff over here.
- 15:17Speaker 2: Not only is its creator owned, but it's original storyteller.
- 15:20Speaker 2: You know, and it was once again not seeing enough
- 15:24Speaker 2: of our stories being out there. Now we're seeing waves
- 15:28Speaker 2: of our stories from waves of different indie comics, and
- 15:32Speaker 2: it's it's I think the tide is turning. The tide
- 15:36Speaker 2: is definitely turning.
- 15:38Speaker 9: And then is there get a lot more adoptions when
- 15:39Speaker 9: you're looking at a NISI print. It's got Beauty off
- 15:41Speaker 9: on Hulu and that's a pretty solid show. Image has
- 15:44Speaker 9: like a million things out from Invincible to the Boys.
- 15:48Speaker 9: Indy is catching up and not as first, just getting
- 15:51Speaker 9: the attention they need to get into the mainstream conversation
- 15:55Speaker 9: right right.
- 15:56Speaker 2: So let's let's talk about Let's talk about what you
- 15:58Speaker 2: have going on.
- 15:58Speaker 7: You have.
- 15:59Speaker 5: Let's this genius right here.
- 16:03Speaker 2: Let's talk about it. Let's talk about you one. You
- 16:06Speaker 2: have a kickstarter for for issue two. Yes, but let's
- 16:10Speaker 2: talk about the character of Reaper. Let's break down who
- 16:13Speaker 2: this person is, what he is all about. Let's talk
- 16:16Speaker 2: about what James Wright is up to.
- 16:19Speaker 9: So the constant of my book as a whole, I
- 16:23Speaker 9: think I've talked about it a few different times. I
- 16:25Speaker 9: love and I've always loved mythology. I've loved seeing and
- 16:29Speaker 9: I'm not a sociologist a heart, So just seeing how
- 16:31Speaker 9: these different things affect people, and the thing that's always
- 16:34Speaker 9: caught my eye being a Christian like Baptist growing ups
- 16:36Speaker 9: and Southern Baptist is God and how God affects people
- 16:41Speaker 9: around them. And I've also enjoyed watching other shows and
- 16:44Speaker 9: movies in which God is given or gods are given personalities.
- 16:47Speaker 9: When you look at a Greek mythology or other mythologies,
- 16:50Speaker 9: they give their gods humanistic character traits that kind of
- 16:53Speaker 9: are familiar with who they are as people. You looking
- 16:55Speaker 9: at Zeus and him being overly horny or diagnosis whatever
- 16:58Speaker 9: it is like Greek mythology from whatever made nor stuff,
- 17:01Speaker 9: these gods have personalities that reflect the people that they
- 17:03Speaker 9: have worshiped them. So I went into this story with
- 17:06Speaker 9: the idea of one two things, one being an inherited
- 17:10Speaker 9: responsibilitycause I think that's something that a lot of people
- 17:11Speaker 9: can empathize with, and me myself had different things like
- 17:15Speaker 9: that that was in my life in regards to you
- 17:18Speaker 9: got to take care of your grandma, you have something
- 17:20Speaker 9: else going on that your family had, and not as
- 17:22Speaker 9: sure of age, you have to then tarry on that
- 17:24Speaker 9: burden or that legacy whatever you see it as. So
- 17:26Speaker 9: I had that kind of idea going into Reaper in
- 17:28Speaker 9: which this character James Wright has this Lineagy is a
- 17:32Speaker 9: part of of reapers, and reapers in this universe are
- 17:36Speaker 9: essentially Nephilim, and if you're familiar with the Bible, Nephilim
- 17:38Speaker 9: are essentially part angel, part human beings. So angels at
- 17:42Speaker 9: a certain point, and I will get into that as
- 17:44Speaker 9: future issues come out. For whatever reason, well I won't
- 17:47Speaker 9: say for every reason. God, when Lucifer and all this,
- 17:50Speaker 9: all his constituents look went to take over Heaven, they
- 17:53Speaker 9: were they lost the battle and were cast out of
- 17:55Speaker 9: Heaven and sent to Earth. So you have all these
- 17:58Speaker 9: angels that are on Earth that are looking to create
- 18:00Speaker 9: now with human beings. So you create this entire line
- 18:03Speaker 9: of Nephilim, which are then reapers and reapers over time.
- 18:06Speaker 9: We don't know why yet, we're tasked with the responsibility
- 18:09Speaker 9: of shepherding last souls into Heaven or into the other
- 18:12Speaker 9: tire of heaven or Hell, whatever it may be. So
- 18:15Speaker 9: James comes from a line of reapers essentially, but obviously,
- 18:19Speaker 9: as most young people do, he does not want to
- 18:20Speaker 9: take on that give responsibility. He wants to go play
- 18:22Speaker 9: college basketball and live in regular life, so he doesn't.
- 18:25Speaker 9: He trains early in his life to kind of be
- 18:27Speaker 9: prepared to take on that responsibility. But after a certain
- 18:29Speaker 9: amount of time, he's like, bro, I just want to
- 18:31Speaker 9: go play with couge ball.
- 18:32Speaker 2: I'm not worried about doing this. I'll leave that to you,
- 18:34Speaker 2: to his father and his family, and.
- 18:35Speaker 8: He dips off.
- 18:37Speaker 9: So the book essentially picked the first issue picks up
- 18:39Speaker 9: with some of the consequences of what that looks like.
- 18:44Speaker 2: I can dig it, I can dig it. I like
- 18:48Speaker 2: what I when I see these types of projects that
- 18:51Speaker 2: think outside the box, which are people to to do
- 18:54Speaker 2: a lot of I like that. So it makes people
- 18:59Speaker 2: really say, you know what, that's different. I never thought
- 19:01Speaker 2: about that. You took an element that people are very
- 19:03Speaker 2: familiar with and flip it on its head or tell
- 19:07Speaker 2: it or tell a different rendition of it. And that
- 19:11Speaker 2: is what can bring like new readers in because let's
- 19:14Speaker 2: let's face it, who is it, mister alk Bulin. I
- 19:19Speaker 2: hope I said that right. He's even said it that
- 19:23Speaker 2: they are the mainstream is scared to dive take the
- 19:29Speaker 2: quote unquote L or what they what they will perceive
- 19:32Speaker 2: as the l and tell a different story. Here you're
- 19:39Speaker 2: telling a different story, but at the same it's grounded
- 19:43Speaker 2: because you can recognize yourself in it in some form
- 19:47Speaker 2: of fashion. Because, let's face it, life be lifing. We
- 19:54Speaker 2: all been there. Life be lifing and there ain't no
- 19:58Speaker 2: other way around it. So question maybe, first of all.
- 20:03Speaker 5: Sir, it is an hot of to chat with you,
- 20:05Speaker 5: because I love the psychology behind creations. When it comes
- 20:10Speaker 5: to these beautiful melaned to creators, y'all come out the gate.
- 20:15Speaker 5: Ain't no okay, no, it's bam, punch you in the face.
- 20:18Speaker 5: I love it.
- 20:19Speaker 2: I was looking at your Kickstarter.
- 20:23Speaker 5: Though I don't know a whole lot, this cover of
- 20:27Speaker 5: number two is telling me a great deal. So was
- 20:31Speaker 5: there someone in your life that was your inspirations for
- 20:35Speaker 5: Reaper or was there an event or anything like that
- 20:39Speaker 5: was your inspiration for creating it?
- 20:41Speaker 9: I think I have it in Like the author notes
- 20:44Speaker 9: in the first issue, my grand my late grandfather, was
- 20:46Speaker 9: a big significant inspiration for the concept as a whole,
- 20:52Speaker 9: more so because I felt like I had a little
- 20:54Speaker 9: bit that near the responsibility. I think he passed away
- 20:57Speaker 9: because he was the man of our family, was the patriarchy,
- 21:00Speaker 9: made sure everything got done, everybody needed what they needed,
- 21:03Speaker 9: and when he got sick from cancer and passed away,
- 21:05Speaker 9: there was this like void, it felt like because it
- 21:08Speaker 9: was a lot of the women that got stuff done
- 21:09Speaker 9: and it was him.
- 21:10Speaker 8: Who was a master amount of everything.
- 21:11Speaker 9: So I kind of felt this like responsibility to fill
- 21:14Speaker 9: that void in my family for a while, even though
- 21:16Speaker 9: it wasn't said, I kind of felt like I needed
- 21:18Speaker 9: to do so. And it kind of also blended with
- 21:21Speaker 9: the idea that again, in my grandfather's life, he had
- 21:24Speaker 9: a tragedy of like he lost both his parents very young,
- 21:26Speaker 9: so he would tell me later in life kind of
- 21:28Speaker 9: what that looked like for him, and a lot of
- 21:30Speaker 9: those experiences, so I tried to take a little bit
- 21:32Speaker 9: of that, a little bit of.
- 21:32Speaker 2: My own experience. It kind of blended a little bit.
- 21:35Speaker 9: I did my best to try to insert myself into
- 21:37Speaker 9: the story without being a self insert character.
- 21:40Speaker 2: Gotcha. In other words, with great power, there we go, Ye,
- 21:48Speaker 2: great responsibility. Kind of hard to avoid it.
- 21:52Speaker 5: Stronger than he looks.
- 21:54Speaker 2: Right, No, I'm gonna I'm going to show them the
- 21:58Speaker 2: trailer for the Kickstar And as if everybody is watching,
- 22:01Speaker 2: you can see the Kickstarter at the bottom with those
- 22:04Speaker 2: who's going to be listening the next day over you
- 22:07Speaker 2: know what to do. Go check it out on the YouTube.
- 22:09Speaker 2: But I want to show this trailer for Reaper issue too.
- 22:23Speaker 2: He news everybody. Reaper Issue number two.
- 22:26Speaker 9: Is on the way for everybody that loved issue number
- 22:29Speaker 9: one and supported you guys so much. But I'm ready
- 22:32Speaker 9: to extend this story out in issue number two and

- 22:37Speaker 9: is while also introducing new characters. Again for anybody that
- 22:40Speaker 9: is watching this for the first time and is not
- 22:41Speaker 9: aware of what Reaper is. Reaper is my debut comic
- 22:44Speaker 9: series that I've been writing, and it's going to be
- 22:45Speaker 9: involving a lot of dope stuff if you are fans
- 22:48Speaker 9: of like the anime Bleach or even the show Supernatural,
- 22:51Speaker 9: thinking like a fusion of the two, or I'm gonna
- 22:52Speaker 9: be playing around with a lot of ideas of God
- 22:54Speaker 9: and who God is and how people that you know
- 22:56Speaker 9: are creations of God to go about things, and also
- 22:59Speaker 9: the big concept of responsibilities that are bestowed upon you
- 23:02Speaker 9: that you didn't ask for yourself. These are all motifs
- 23:05Speaker 9: and topics that already touched on within the full run
- 23:07Speaker 9: of Reaper. But issue number two, guys want to see
- 23:09Speaker 9: the introduction of two really big characters in this story.
- 23:12Speaker 9: Won't say what they are just yet, but you guys
- 23:15Speaker 9: are going to be amazed when you see them. And
- 23:16Speaker 9: I got a lot of time to really work on
- 23:18Speaker 9: the dialogue and this issue a lot of the first
- 23:20Speaker 9: issues with a lot of introduction, a lot of actions
- 23:22Speaker 9: at pieces, and we'll have some action in this second issue,
- 23:23Speaker 9: but it's going to be a lot of introduction and
- 23:25Speaker 9: really characterizing who James Wright is as a person. So
- 23:28Speaker 9: if you guys are interested, thank you guys so much
- 23:30Speaker 9: for being interested. But if you want to support this,
- 23:32Speaker 9: the Kickstarter is now a valable. I created a Kickstarter

- 24:27Speaker 5: I just backed it.
- 24:29Speaker 2: You gotta love it.
- 24:30Speaker 8: Thank you so much. I still Chris a little bit
- 24:32Speaker 8: hear my own voice, but.
- 24:34Speaker 2: I appreciate it.
- 24:36Speaker 5: Go feel bad.
- 24:37Speaker 2: We all spoken like a true creative, spoking like a
- 24:42Speaker 2: crew creator. Man. Whoop, do you have a questions? Yeah?
- 24:46Speaker 2: I was wondering if.
- 24:49Speaker 6: What would you say that your biggest mistake was when
- 24:52Speaker 6: you first started get into indie comics and how did
- 24:55Speaker 6: you use that to push you forward to where.
- 24:58Speaker 2: You are now?
- 24:59Speaker 9: In regards to my big mistakes, make making one or
- 25:02Speaker 9: just like getting introduced into the medium.
- 25:04Speaker 6: In the medium or just making up, whichever one influenced
- 25:08Speaker 6: you most to push you to the place that you
- 25:11Speaker 6: are now.
- 25:12Speaker 9: I think from a consumer standpoint, the biggest mistake I
- 25:16Speaker 9: made was not being as open minded as I am now.
- 25:19Speaker 9: I think when I first started, I was only looking
- 25:21Speaker 9: for things really similar to what I knew, and you know,
- 25:23Speaker 9: as a young kid, spider Man, Superman, Batman, all those things,
- 25:26Speaker 9: I was looking for cape stuff, and funny enough, I
- 25:28Speaker 9: grew up a big horror fan, so it wasn't until
- 25:31Speaker 9: I think two years ago where a friend of mine
- 25:32Speaker 9: was putting you into some horror comics started written by
- 25:34Speaker 9: amazing people. I'm like, oh, there can be like amazing
- 25:38Speaker 9: horror stories and kindics as well. So I started to
- 25:40Speaker 9: kind of just anything that looked interesting me. I would
- 25:42Speaker 9: give it a read. That Baarman of the first issue
- 25:44Speaker 9: will read just even capture my attention, and that honest
- 25:47Speaker 9: that helped my writing from the aspect of I'm a
- 25:49Speaker 9: big student of any creative medium that I'm taking part in,
- 25:53Speaker 9: so I would literally just I read so much. I
- 25:56Speaker 9: read a lot more now that I did before because
- 25:58Speaker 9: I'm writing now, so I always look different ways I
- 26:00Speaker 9: can steal stuff. I think a big inspiration for me
- 26:02Speaker 9: now is a guy named Doug Wagner. Why guy an
- 26:05Speaker 9: amazing guy, and he an image, has this thing where
- 26:07Speaker 9: he does five issue story arcs for his stuff. So
- 26:11Speaker 9: he'll give an entire story arc in story for a
- 26:14Speaker 9: character within five issues, which for Moultimate is unheard of
- 26:17Speaker 9: because you're used to a character having like forty to
- 26:19Speaker 9: fifty issues really get a story off. But he can
- 26:22Speaker 9: tell this really deep and expanded story in five issues.
- 26:26Speaker 9: So I'm like, I asked him one day, I want
- 26:27Speaker 9: to interview. I'm like, hey, how do you go about
- 26:29Speaker 9: packing so much in so much into a tight five
- 26:31Speaker 9: issue setting?
- 26:32Speaker 8: And he'sind of just give me a game on that.
- 26:33Speaker 8: So it opening my mind to different stuff.
- 26:36Speaker 9: I was able to kind of pick up a little
- 26:37Speaker 9: tricks in the trade that kind of feel like helped
- 26:39Speaker 9: me out with the writing.
- 26:39Speaker 2: Face you two, Okay, do you find yourself? And I
- 26:45Speaker 2: asked this for a lot of creatives, do you find
- 26:49Speaker 2: yourself building a universe out of just out surrounding this character?
- 26:55Speaker 8: A universe possibly part of me or world world word
- 27:01Speaker 8: for sure.
- 27:01Speaker 9: I think when I first started writing there, I feel
- 27:05Speaker 9: like most writers either specialize in two areas.
- 27:09Speaker 2: Either a macro writer or a microwriter.
- 27:10Speaker 9: In my mind, the macrowriters are like the George Lucas
- 27:13Speaker 9: of the world, where you're just really good at building
- 27:15Speaker 9: out an entire world with rules and all that good stuff,
- 27:18Speaker 9: and the microwriting gets more of the personal character motivations, relationships,
- 27:22Speaker 9: things of that nature, and to have a great story
- 27:24Speaker 9: even a combination of both. I feel like when I
- 27:26Speaker 9: first started out, I'm really good at world building. I
- 27:29Speaker 9: can make a road and the rules and all those
- 27:30Speaker 9: things to it, and we're rebrid that very early on.
- 27:33Speaker 9: But it took me so long before I started writing
- 27:35Speaker 9: the actual script because I needed to work on the
- 27:36Speaker 9: micro stuff of like who is this character, what are
- 27:39Speaker 9: his motivations? How is he going to change, grower alter
- 27:42Speaker 9: himself from issue.
- 27:43Speaker 2: One to the end.
- 27:45Speaker 9: So I have I think, right now in my mind,
- 27:47Speaker 9: I have fifty issues of this main story written out
- 27:50Speaker 9: or hey storyboarded out, and then I have a five
- 27:53Speaker 9: issue horror series is going to be like a spin
- 27:55Speaker 9: off of that that may can start future stuff on
- 27:57Speaker 9: the line if I decided to go that route, depending
- 27:59Speaker 9: on how stuff goes. So I can see this turning
- 28:02Speaker 9: into a full on universe I just want to make
- 28:04Speaker 9: sure that I'm focusing on make sure this is a
- 28:06Speaker 9: night concise story in itself, before I get too far
- 28:09Speaker 9: ahead of myself and try to expand so far out.
- 28:13Speaker 2: Gotcha makes sense, It makes sense. So what if you're
- 28:20Speaker 2: for those not just for you, Jary, but for those
- 28:23Speaker 2: who are out there listening or watching. What I noticed
- 28:26Speaker 2: about a lot of writers that create characters they have,
- 28:32Speaker 2: like you said, you try to avoid putting a little
- 28:34Speaker 2: bit of yourself into that character, but a little bit
- 28:37Speaker 2: of yourself always ends up in that character. Do you
- 28:42Speaker 2: have a little Do you find a little bit of
- 28:45Speaker 2: yourself in the antagonist?
- 28:49Speaker 8: Absolutely? Absolutely?
- 28:50Speaker 9: I mean you funny enough, you get introduced to the
- 28:53Speaker 9: main antagonists in this second issue. He's a significant part
- 28:56Speaker 9: of like the first part of it. You know you're
- 28:58Speaker 9: to meet him, and he's on the cup funny enough,
- 29:00Speaker 9: at least that version of him that you see is
- 29:02Speaker 9: on the cover. I've always been of the belief that
- 29:07Speaker 9: the main character is only strong as their villain is,
- 29:10Speaker 9: and I feel like you're villain in a way. It
- 29:11Speaker 9: needs to mirror your main character to an extent. So
- 29:15Speaker 9: you're gonna so James, and well, I can just say,
- 29:17Speaker 9: Lucifer is the is the main antagonist of the story.
- 29:20Speaker 9: He is going to have a lot of similarities with James,
- 29:24Speaker 9: and I definitely see I see myself. I put a
- 29:26Speaker 9: little bit of myself in the characters. I'm cool with
- 29:28Speaker 9: putting some of myself into the story. I just don't
- 29:30Speaker 9: want to become my self insert where I'm just like
- 29:33Speaker 9: being overly indulgent in the story. Whereas oh, I'm I'm
- 29:36Speaker 9: the main characters. I'm getting the baddest chick. Obviously, I
- 29:38Speaker 9: got to hear him. So this is ob was suppos
- 29:40Speaker 9: gonna happen because it's me. I can't lose. I have
- 29:43Speaker 9: to win every fight because.
- 29:43Speaker 2: It's me, right, you see, we've seen with.
- 29:52Speaker 9: I'm letting the guy that wrote Buffy, Josh Josh Sweden.
- 29:57Speaker 9: He's an entire He's a whole self insert character and
- 29:59Speaker 9: that show, and it is very apparent as time goes on.
- 30:02Speaker 8: I can't remember blinking nobody's names. He's one of her friends.
- 30:05Speaker 2: Oh yeah once he uh well he was when they
- 30:09Speaker 2: was it an angel when they go see go to
- 30:12Speaker 2: Lauren's dimension and he's part of the death Walk land
- 30:15Speaker 2: and there's like a cousin that's in the background dancing
- 30:18Speaker 2: in its elm uh not him.
- 30:22Speaker 8: I'll name of the character and I'll let you know.
- 30:24Speaker 9: But it's like a particular characters in the friend group
- 30:26Speaker 9: from the very beginning that you can tell us a
- 30:28Speaker 9: self insert character. There's a creator by the name of
- 30:31Speaker 9: Cosmono markets that like a whole hour breakdown on his
- 30:34Speaker 9: perspective on it, that character and why he's so annoying.
- 30:37Speaker 8: But I tried not to do that.
- 30:39Speaker 2: Why I just put myself in the story and just
- 30:41Speaker 2: it's it's I wonder if it's the Xander character Xander No, wait,
- 30:47Speaker 2: meanable matter of fact, I can look it up and
- 30:49Speaker 2: I'll tell you, yeah, I want in there because there's
- 30:53Speaker 2: it's either the Xander character or the episode where Xander
- 30:59Speaker 2: meets his is other half, which is a much better
- 31:04Speaker 2: half actually great. But yeah, you're right though, you can
- 31:15Speaker 2: kind of if you if there's enough mediums out there
- 31:18Speaker 2: where you do notice that certain creators, you can kind
- 31:22Speaker 2: of pick up certain cues that this might be them.
- 31:27Speaker 2: You know, this this might be may not be completely
- 31:30Speaker 2: on the nose, but there's a level of them that's there.
- 31:36Speaker 2: Uh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think a firefly often
- 31:40Speaker 2: where which is another Josh Whedon show, Uh, where the
- 31:47Speaker 2: main character which is played by uh, which is the
- 31:50Speaker 2: main character, Malcolm Reynolds, is played by uh whanking on
- 31:54Speaker 2: his name right now, Nathan Fillion, thank you? But yeah, like,
- 32:03Speaker 2: but each one of the crew members is actually a
- 32:08Speaker 2: part of himself. That's interesting concept, ye because so so
- 32:15Speaker 2: here the pilot episode of Firefly, Malcolm and Zoe there
- 32:21Speaker 2: in the middle of the war, they're they're behind the
- 32:24Speaker 2: enemy that pretty much behind the enemy lines pretty much
- 32:27Speaker 2: or being pinned down. The first thing he does is
- 32:30Speaker 2: he has a cross on his neck, he has a
- 32:32Speaker 2: cross on the chain, and he kisses it and he
- 32:35Speaker 2: gives this this rousing speech to one of the other soldiers.
- 32:38Speaker 2: He's like, oh, we're too young and too pretty to die.
- 32:40Speaker 2: And the guy dies and so and so. Uh you
- 32:47Speaker 2: know they kind of, you know, they they get the
- 32:48Speaker 2: word that backup is not coming, uh, that they have
- 32:52Speaker 2: given up, that they you know, the opposite the opposition
- 32:55Speaker 2: has won the war. And they flash forward a couple
- 32:59Speaker 2: of years. He's finding he finds his ship. Zoe is
- 33:03Speaker 2: still part of his crew. Is is you know, his
- 33:05Speaker 2: second second in command and her husband is the pilot.
- 33:10Speaker 2: So he starts finding this crew, and each crew member
- 33:13Speaker 2: he picks up, there's a level of himself in each member.
- 33:19Speaker 2: Jane is literally the crass, the muscle, the I'm barely
- 33:24Speaker 2: headfirst into a battle, no care at all. Shepherd Book
- 33:29Speaker 2: is that part of now that used to believe and
- 33:33Speaker 2: used to have a faith, you know, when we find
- 33:36Speaker 2: out what app which Sheppard Book actually is, but there's
- 33:39Speaker 2: a part of him that used to have the faith. Right.
- 33:44Speaker 2: River and Simon represent that level of innocence almost and
- 33:51Speaker 2: Kaylee is also is just like that playful part of you,
- 33:54Speaker 2: you know. So each one of those characters represents mal
- 33:58Speaker 2: in a sense, and it breaks down to like, oh,
- 34:03Speaker 2: this is why the crew gets along so well. They
- 34:07Speaker 2: balance Well, it's it's he's the balance. That's interesting. So
- 34:13Speaker 2: two things.
- 34:13Speaker 8: One, it was under here right now, I'll look it
- 34:15Speaker 8: up real quick, look it up too.
- 34:18Speaker 9: I think that's a perfect way to write yourself into
- 34:20Speaker 9: a story where it's not you're not overstepping, overstaying your welcome,
- 34:24Speaker 9: but the character that's that's genius.
- 34:27Speaker 2: That's what I haven't heard about that, you.
- 34:30Speaker 9: Know, being a medium, or at least attacking tell your
- 34:33Speaker 9: story into Often that's kind of genius.
- 34:35Speaker 2: Yeah, Shaming Lonely lasted thirteen episodes, but whatever, but it worked.
- 34:41Speaker 2: It works that way. So you know, I remember seeing
- 34:44Speaker 2: something years ago when they were talking about it and
- 34:47Speaker 2: somebody did a It might have been New Rock Stars
- 34:49Speaker 2: that did the breakdown, who knows, But I looked back.
- 34:52Speaker 2: I went back and I watched the series again and
- 34:54Speaker 2: I'm like, wow, this is true. I see it now.
- 34:58Speaker 2: You know the way he will before the war and
- 35:01Speaker 2: how he is after the war, and then through every
- 35:04Speaker 2: episode through their adventures, there's certain levels of him that
- 35:08Speaker 2: you see the character that pops up, you know, when
- 35:11Speaker 2: he even in serenity, when he's finally just had enough.
- 35:16Speaker 2: He's had enough. They've been they've been hunted down, they've
- 35:20Speaker 2: been getting there, getting chased, everything's going straight left, and
- 35:25Speaker 2: finally he's just like, I'm going to stop the guy
- 35:29Speaker 2: who was sent by the Scent to take me out.
- 35:31Speaker 2: I'm pissed. That's Jane. He doesn't care what's happening. Jane
- 35:36Speaker 2: Cobb will go in head first. How many can I'm
- 35:39Speaker 2: bringing a grenade. We don't need a grenade? Whoa we might?
- 35:42Speaker 2: You know? So? Well, yeah, maybe you got another question.
- 35:48Speaker 5: Actually, yes, I actually reread Reaper number one MHM for
- 35:55Speaker 5: the third time, and let me tell you, y'all, this
- 36:02Speaker 5: comic is so top tier. If y'all don't support this
- 36:06Speaker 5: man's kickstart, I'm really gonna wonder what's wrong with y'all? Okay,
- 36:11Speaker 5: because you feel the story when you first wrote it
- 36:16Speaker 5: and it was illustrated and you looked at it again,
- 36:20Speaker 5: did it elicit a lot of emotion? Because I didn't
- 36:23Speaker 5: write this, and I'm feeling this. All I keep hearing
- 36:26Speaker 5: them saying is it's your fault. It's your fault. It's
- 36:29Speaker 5: your fault. And he is going haym after what happened.
- 36:33Speaker 5: If y'all ain't read it, that's your fault. How did
- 36:37Speaker 5: you feel when you saw your words come to life
- 36:41Speaker 5: with illustration and you see what you've written becoming a reality.
- 36:46Speaker 8: I fucking went through different stages.
- 36:48Speaker 9: I think with the script it was a lot of criticism,
- 36:51Speaker 9: like a harsh criticism of myself because this was like
- 36:55Speaker 9: my first full link script, So I was like overly
- 36:57Speaker 9: critical of it, and I just oh, I would see
- 37:01Speaker 9: something that have to change it, See something had to
- 37:02Speaker 9: change it. Once I got to the inking lettering phase,
- 37:05Speaker 9: that's when, like some of the child like joy kind
- 37:08Speaker 9: of started coming out because you start to see your
- 37:10Speaker 9: imagination come to life. And I'm not an artist by
- 37:12Speaker 9: any means, so I didn't have to do that to
- 37:14Speaker 9: do that myself, and seeing somebody who was really talented
- 37:17Speaker 9: do that was amazing.
- 37:19Speaker 8: And that doubled when the coloring started, because now I'm
- 37:21Speaker 8: seeing this shading. I'm seeing the detail, like my imagination
- 37:24Speaker 8: has really come into light. The saddenings, not the saddest,
- 37:28Speaker 8: but I guess the the vulnerable, like the more emotional
- 37:32Speaker 8: side of me kind of king when the lettering came.
- 37:34Speaker 8: Because to your point, I'm seeing the pages, but now
- 37:36Speaker 8: seeing the words go along with that, I can kind
- 37:38Speaker 8: of feel my own story even more so because I
- 37:41Speaker 8: know where these stories came from, like like in my
- 37:43Speaker 8: heart and where it came from.
- 37:45Speaker 4: It was.
- 37:46Speaker 9: It was a really surreal process. And then the book's done.
- 37:49Speaker 9: Now I see nothing, but it's not see nothing, but
- 37:51Speaker 9: like mistakes with it.
- 37:55Speaker 2: There's one that it's spoken so much like a creative.
- 38:00Speaker 8: If you look at the basketball game right right.
- 38:04Speaker 9: One thing that bothers me to this day that makes
- 38:06Speaker 9: me so angry that I did not notice when I
- 38:08Speaker 9: initially made it honestly made me a better creator. Now
- 38:10Speaker 9: going into the second issues, I know what to look
- 38:12Speaker 9: at the scoreboard because I wrote this scene to be
- 38:16Speaker 9: like it's really tense scene, like, oh, they're close to
- 38:18Speaker 9: close game, things about to go hand to win this game,
- 38:21Speaker 9: Kobe type stuff.
- 38:22Speaker 8: But when you look at the scoreboard, they're losing by
- 38:24Speaker 8: like twenty five.
- 38:25Speaker 2: It almost thirty, it's one eight seven.
- 38:28Speaker 5: I'm going, where's the buzzer beat the.
- 38:31Speaker 2: Gonna Yeah, brother, brother, it's not that game.
- 38:34Speaker 9: And it's something little that like I noticed like maybe
- 38:36Speaker 9: a month after it came out. I'm like, oh, but
- 38:40Speaker 9: so far when I'm so far whenever I bring up
- 38:42Speaker 9: Nobody's noticed it when I bring it up, So I
- 38:44Speaker 9: guess nobody's looking that hard.
- 38:45Speaker 8: But for me, it's it bothers me so much.
- 38:48Speaker 2: Uh, this is alchemy alk Bulet has who in the
- 38:53Speaker 2: Ndie verse. Would you love to unite the characters permanently
- 38:56Speaker 2: as far as their universes.
- 39:00Speaker 5: Midnight Comics Mm hmm, you.
- 39:04Speaker 8: Know, because we were just talking to them earlier. I
- 39:06Speaker 8: would love.
- 39:10Speaker 4: So.
- 39:10Speaker 9: I don't know the publisher that I put published book
- 39:13Speaker 9: underneath e schelon Comics on Grass Novels.
- 39:15Speaker 2: They have.
- 39:15Speaker 9: It's a serious called divine influence that it's more so
- 39:18Speaker 9: in a line of you know, Judeo Christianity kind of
- 39:21Speaker 9: similar to Reaper as far as thematically speaking. Uh, and
- 39:23Speaker 9: it's a character who's literally an angel. I would love
- 39:26Speaker 9: to kind of fuse this universe and the main character
- 39:28Speaker 9: of that story with Soul from Midnight Comics kind of
- 39:32Speaker 9: bring like the Egyptian mythology, kind of infused that with
- 39:35Speaker 9: the Judeo Christianity type of thing, kind of messed that together,
- 39:38Speaker 9: which in the Old Man yes, just is a literal,
- 39:43Speaker 9: literal angel and then Soul getting powers from like an
- 39:46Speaker 9: Egyptian guy.
- 39:47Speaker 2: Just kind of there's some level of there's some yeah,
- 39:50Speaker 2: some level of clash or something.
- 39:52Speaker 5: Oh yeah, ideologies clash and it's oh my goodness, I
- 39:57Speaker 5: could see.
- 39:57Speaker 8: That some God of war type stuff. You know, Great
- 40:01Speaker 8: tis the North, so like kind of a similar kind
- 40:02Speaker 8: of similar thing there.
- 40:04Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I would love to see that. Okay, whooped.
- 40:09Speaker 6: I like to ask more behind the scenes type questions.
- 40:12Speaker 6: So how did you build the audience? How did you
- 40:15Speaker 6: build an audience before your first issue?
- 40:18Speaker 9: I mean, probably most of my audiences came because I
- 40:21Speaker 9: did YouTube at least like two years before I even
- 40:25Speaker 9: got to to make the comics. So I think most
- 40:27Speaker 9: of my audiences came from the channel and me promoting
- 40:30Speaker 9: it there, and then a lot of it is just
- 40:31Speaker 9: genuinely just me trying to market it randomly the best
- 40:34Speaker 9: way I knew how, because I was trying to figure out, okay,
- 40:37Speaker 9: how about market my platform, a YouTube channel, all that stuff,
- 40:40Speaker 9: and kind of just imitated emulated what I did there
- 40:42Speaker 9: with the book for the most part. Uh So there's
- 40:44Speaker 9: probably a lot of crossover. Maybe some new people founded
- 40:46Speaker 9: that I had never known about me as a career
- 40:48Speaker 9: before they found the book. I don't know, but kind
- 40:50Speaker 9: of just similar ways on about that, this little video shorts,
- 40:54Speaker 9: and I think I had some other stuff I'm working
- 40:56Speaker 9: on as well, but that's it.
- 40:57Speaker 2: For the most part. I'm stuck on. I'm stuck on.
- 41:01Speaker 2: I'm stuck on James Wright and Soul because I can
- 41:08Speaker 2: envision that right now. I'm like, oh my god, that.
- 41:10Speaker 9: Not even mean those two. And Divine Influence is a
- 41:13Speaker 9: character who is an angel. I'm blanking on her name.
- 41:16Speaker 9: It's gonna minutes I read issue one. I would love
- 41:19Speaker 9: to see going that like a literal angel in an
- 41:22Speaker 9: Egyptian deity essentially kind of kind of having that battle out.
- 41:24Speaker 2: But I don't see jameson. I mean that for some reason,
- 41:29Speaker 2: for some reason though that character you explained, I could
- 41:31Speaker 2: just see the whole up and down look like, Mmm,
- 41:38Speaker 2: judgment so much? Uh, who are you supposed to be?
- 41:41Speaker 4: Right?
- 41:42Speaker 2: Right? So I gotta ask you. Hm, your grandfather obviously
- 41:47Speaker 2: an influence, yes, and the women around you obviously influences.
- 41:53Speaker 2: But coming up reading comics, what did you what could
- 41:58Speaker 2: you identify live with?
- 42:02Speaker 9: So I'll say this before I read comics sporadically growing
- 42:09Speaker 9: up until I was around seventeen because my mother, I'm
- 42:12Speaker 9: a huge nerd.
- 42:13Speaker 2: My mother is not whatsoever, So.
- 42:16Speaker 9: Me going to the comic shop, me getting video game
- 42:18Speaker 9: and stuff like that was a very rare occurrence. I
- 42:21Speaker 9: would only get my comics every semester. The military base
- 42:25Speaker 9: that I grew up near would do this thing to
- 42:26Speaker 9: where each report card you could bring your report card
- 42:28Speaker 9: in and if you got all a's or always to
- 42:30Speaker 9: B you got thisq pum book that you could go
- 42:33Speaker 9: use and they would always have free magazines in that
- 42:35Speaker 9: So comics at that point and the sort kind it
- 42:37Speaker 9: is that so every semester, I would go get a
- 42:40Speaker 9: bunch of free like a couple of free comics, so
- 42:41Speaker 9: I would get some trades and I read lot of
- 42:45Speaker 9: the Jeff John's Green Lantern, The Blackest Night Run, so a.
- 42:47Speaker 2: Lot of that stuff, Good Run, damn good. What else
- 42:52Speaker 2: is not reading?
- 42:53Speaker 9: At that point, I was reading a lot of I
- 42:57Speaker 9: almost say, absolute Batman of that Man be On stuff.
- 43:00Speaker 9: So for the most part, at that point, I only
- 43:02Speaker 9: got a lot of my comic stuff from like the
- 43:04Speaker 9: animated like the DCAU stuff for like the Marvel animated movies.
- 43:07Speaker 8: So I would look for books that reflected what I
- 43:09Speaker 8: was seeing there. And for most of that I didn't
- 43:12Speaker 8: even know there was such a thing as an LCS.
- 43:14Speaker 9: So I got to like sixteen seventeen where I got
- 43:16Speaker 9: my own car, and I was able to kind of
- 43:17Speaker 9: go around to the different shops around where I was
- 43:20Speaker 9: growing up, had to kind of look at different books
- 43:21Speaker 9: and whatnot.
- 43:24Speaker 2: I was very much like you in the area I
- 43:28Speaker 2: grew up. I knew of these characters, but didn't have
- 43:32Speaker 2: a store nearby, so I would get them in sects.
- 43:37Speaker 2: I would get the stuff in pieces and parts and everything.
- 43:39Speaker 2: And it wasn't until around the same age that I
- 43:44Speaker 2: was able to find and it's no longer around, but
- 43:47Speaker 2: it was called spellbinders. And that's when I started, you know,
- 43:50Speaker 2: getting getting stuff going and working and I'm like, all right,
- 43:53Speaker 2: I'm gonna grab me a few books, you know. And
- 43:55Speaker 2: then when I came of age and had an actual job,
- 44:00Speaker 2: it was getting tips right next door to spell binders.
- 44:05Speaker 2: It was a rap uh, it was a wrap man.
- 44:12Speaker 2: That's right now for me. This is this is legit,
- 44:16Speaker 2: like my full list from like this past Wednesday. I
- 44:19Speaker 2: just think he got form. Okay, okay, issues of it.
- 44:27Speaker 2: I got to let's get absolute Lantern. I'm still Lantern fan.
- 44:32Speaker 2: The Superman. It's stab yeah, yeah all over this have
- 44:39Speaker 2: a read jet. But I've heard good things about this
- 44:41Speaker 2: so far. The New Iron Man.
- 44:44Speaker 8: Of course, Madness Stephinitely Williams does no wrong in my mind.
- 44:48Speaker 5: Not absolutely, no flawless ladies and gentlemen.
- 44:52Speaker 8: That's just when I spent too much money. That was
- 44:54Speaker 8: all way more than I needed to.
- 44:56Speaker 9: And then now my comic shop has this thing to
- 44:58Speaker 9: where there's a stoical person that makes it's like cookie,
- 45:00Speaker 9: like really big cookies and brownies and keep.
- 45:05Speaker 2: And it's like four dollars, five dollars.
- 45:07Speaker 8: I'm like, I mean, I have been doing good on
- 45:10Speaker 8: my diet this week.
- 45:13Speaker 2: You said I'm in comics. Somebody as will continue to
- 45:15Speaker 2: read myself.
- 45:18Speaker 8: He's spent wate soo much money.
- 45:20Speaker 5: Okay, now I think I can treat because what's funny
- 45:23Speaker 5: is piggyback off of what you and Chris said. My
- 45:27Speaker 5: mom was not a nerd or a geek, but she
- 45:30Speaker 5: recognized that I was, so she made a deal with
- 45:33Speaker 5: me with my grades. And what she did is she
- 45:36Speaker 5: would reach out to my uncle, and my uncle would say, okay,
- 45:39Speaker 5: I'll double up. You make an A. That A is
- 45:44Speaker 5: now forty dollars. You make your B it's twenty dollars,
- 45:47Speaker 5: and I'll take you to the comic store. When I
- 45:50Speaker 5: tell you, when I tell you, I did not stay
- 45:54Speaker 5: at watching TV. I would make sure I was getting
- 45:56Speaker 5: them grades. And when I got my report card, I said,
- 45:59Speaker 5: let me call uncle Will. I didn't want to show
- 46:00Speaker 5: my mother. I want to call my uncle ware. Yeah,
- 46:05Speaker 5: I got my poor cart all a's and one B.
- 46:08Speaker 5: All right, See Saturday Clinton came up in there and
- 46:13Speaker 5: comic Carnival and science fiction and Porium. I'll never forget
- 46:15Speaker 5: this place because in Indianapolis, that was the go to
- 46:19Speaker 5: I walked in there. It was a number love the
- 46:22Speaker 5: smell of the paper and the comics and everything. Man,
- 46:24Speaker 5: come on, you see, I'm still addicted to this very day.
- 46:29Speaker 2: Look there are two things outside of my wife.
- 46:36Speaker 5: I'm glad you put that out there.
- 46:39Speaker 2: Had a problem that gets me, that gets my childhood awakening.
- 46:44Speaker 2: And it's it's like, like you said, maybe it is
- 46:46Speaker 2: walking into a book comic book store and knowing what
- 46:50Speaker 2: I'm getting and walking into it, which I just discovered
- 46:55Speaker 2: several weeks ago, an actual toy store.
- 46:59Speaker 5: Oh oh yeah. He told us about this on Tuesday.
- 47:04Speaker 2: It it's it whow tell me about it? There was
- 47:10Speaker 2: a man, look there, there is something like there was
- 47:16Speaker 2: a moment a couple of years ago. We were out
- 47:18Speaker 2: running hear as me and my wife and I said,
- 47:22Speaker 2: you know what I'm off today. We're on the west
- 47:26Speaker 2: side of Cleveland. Letting me go ahead and grab my
- 47:30Speaker 2: pool list while I'm over here. That was a mistake
- 47:33Speaker 2: because my wife was in the car and she she
- 47:38Speaker 2: went to sleep. Now this was in the summer. I
- 47:42Speaker 2: had the ac on. But what I just knew was
- 47:46Speaker 2: going to be like, let me run in here, grab
- 47:48Speaker 2: the pool lists. Probably ten minutes at best, come back out.
- 47:53Speaker 2: It turned into twenty five minutes. So when I got
- 47:57Speaker 2: back in the car, I see it's like being sweat
- 48:00Speaker 2: on her brow. She's still sleeping and she and I'm like,
- 48:04Speaker 2: open a car door, slow slide, start the car. And

- 48:28Speaker 2: such scene, and then we got to talk in and
- 48:29Speaker 2: and I'm like, oh, spaghettios, I got hurt. She was like,
- 48:37Speaker 2: I am never coming out with you when you go
- 48:40Speaker 2: get your books a kids. And I was just like,
- 48:45Speaker 2: it's fair trade.

- 55:10Speaker 2: And I'm like, why did you get another pair of
- 55:12Speaker 2: black boots? Because I needed another pair of black boots,
- 55:15Speaker 2: I said for winter? Like what was wrong with other ones? Nothing? Okay,
- 55:24Speaker 2: but they don't but they don't go with they don't
- 55:26Speaker 2: go with this. And I got this and I got this,
- 55:29Speaker 2: and I feel like I'm having the same discussion three
- 55:31Speaker 2: days ago. I found myself going deeper into the questioning realm,
- 55:38Speaker 2: and I said, don't do it, because she can turn
- 55:40Speaker 2: it back on me. And I need this. I need
- 55:43Speaker 2: this to use as a weapon.
- 55:45Speaker 5: I was like, back precarious already. Yeah.
- 55:50Speaker 2: I was just like, because something's gonna come up, because
- 55:53Speaker 2: then I could she could. She can honestly say, if
- 55:55Speaker 2: I if I see another lightsaber for a good price,
- 55:57Speaker 2: I'm getting it at a convention. And I can hear
- 56:00Speaker 2: her saying, you paid how much? And I said, here's
- 56:02Speaker 2: the thing, I don't have to change boots. You realize
- 56:08Speaker 2: when you start saying I have you lost the argument.
- 56:15Speaker 6: I'm not the only person stalking the saber boots at
- 56:17Speaker 6: a collection, making laps and just staying.
- 56:21Speaker 2: Like dragon is. Oh yeah, bro.
- 56:25Speaker 7: They have auctions, they give giveaways every hour.
- 56:29Speaker 2: Thank got these singles.
- 56:32Speaker 8: I don't see a few mace window replicause I'm just like.
- 56:36Speaker 2: I always. I have one room. Here's here's a beauty.
- 56:41Speaker 2: It's not charged up, but it's sitting there. It's hanging
- 56:43Speaker 2: on the wall next to Stanley. But here's the beauty
- 56:46Speaker 2: of it. I can change the color. I can change
- 56:49Speaker 2: the color. It has the sound card in it. It
- 56:51Speaker 2: has different sound cards for different saber colors. I'm like,
- 56:55Speaker 2: for ninety nine dollars, that ain't bad. I got a
- 56:58Speaker 2: damn good deal. It was the same thing I taught
- 57:02Speaker 2: my sons when they were doing vendors in common cons,
- 57:04Speaker 2: I say, y'all, if y'all wait till the last day,
- 57:07Speaker 2: because you gotta think those vendors have to pack that
- 57:10Speaker 2: stuff up. Some of them have to some of them
- 57:13Speaker 2: have to ship that back out, some of them have
- 57:15Speaker 2: came stateside. Learn to learn to help them, help you,
- 57:19Speaker 2: because sometimes they look like, bruh, it's gonna cost me
- 57:22Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty bucks to send this back. You
- 57:25Speaker 2: give me hunt, you give me fifty right now, and
- 57:27Speaker 2: we call it either and they and sometimes they'll offer
- 57:31Speaker 2: you the deal if you are patient, like y'all. Like
- 57:34Speaker 2: I'm talking about, walking back and forth I told my
- 57:36Speaker 2: I told myselns, I said, don't look desperate, just walk
- 57:39Speaker 2: up to them and do rapport. I said, you're young,
- 57:42Speaker 2: almost like a car salesman. Get a nice little report going,
- 57:45Speaker 2: say this looks nice. Then come back and then we
- 57:48Speaker 2: come back. Come back when they're good and tired, Come
- 57:51Speaker 2: back when they're good and worn out. They're ready to
- 57:53Speaker 2: go home. Then you slide the salt sell man, you're
- 57:56Speaker 2: really gonna pack that stuff and send that back and
- 57:58Speaker 2: stand right in front of what what you want so
- 58:00Speaker 2: their eye right to it. You gotta do like you
- 58:03Speaker 2: gotta do like that one meme they have on Instagram.
- 58:06Speaker 2: Like I'm telling you, Lord, just keep running back and forth.
- 58:14Speaker 2: They gonna know you a lot and and they gonna
- 58:16Speaker 2: know you. And at the same time he's gonna be like,
- 58:18Speaker 2: I can let it. I can take a hit on this.
- 58:20Speaker 2: It's better to go ahead and take this money now
- 58:22Speaker 2: then spend the letter getting it back to getting back home.
- 58:25Speaker 2: And I told my son, I said, just don't The
- 58:27Speaker 2: secret is, don't be desperate, be friendly. M mister, mister
- 58:34Speaker 2: al Bwling has some damn good questions. He's throwing up
- 58:37Speaker 2: a lot of good stuff. He says, what's in universe
- 58:40Speaker 2: with lore that's part Star Wars part lanterns hm hmm,
- 58:46Speaker 2: and not the and Bama said, not the one. I
- 58:49Speaker 2: think Bama is okay. Bama's talking about next generation start
- 58:52Speaker 2: for you. He wants to he wants the next generation uniform.
- 58:55Speaker 2: I can see that probably first contract part Star Wars,
- 58:59Speaker 2: part Lantern.
- 59:00Speaker 9: I mean, it's a video gaming universe, but I maybe
- 59:03Speaker 9: like the mass effect universe.
- 59:04Speaker 2: Maybe. Yeah, I agree with that part Lanterns, part Star Wars. Yeah,
- 59:09Speaker 2: mass effect. That mass effect is more like a masspect
- 59:14Speaker 2: is kind of more about started lactic on speed. But

- 1:03:11Speaker 2: gotta get another controller. Speaking of which, it's not being cheap,
- 1:03:18Speaker 2: but we all know the gaming is insanely priced right now.
- 1:03:25Speaker 2: Imagine me going to a certain store grabbing god A
- 1:03:29Speaker 2: wore Ragnarock and it was like nineteen ninety nine, and
- 1:03:33Speaker 2: I'm like, fuck it, I'll grab it now. Only for
- 1:03:38Speaker 2: like two three weeks later, they put the price back
- 1:03:41Speaker 2: at sixty nine ninety nine. I said, what do y'all
- 1:03:44Speaker 2: do that?
- 1:03:46Speaker 5: Why do y'all do.
- 1:03:48Speaker 2: You know why they did it? I was just like,

- 1:04:10Speaker 2: new equipment. If you are fast up to catch it.
- 1:04:13Speaker 2: Oh wow, I gotta find out. Let me talk to
- 1:04:15Speaker 2: the guy down the street. Hey, hey, when you're throwing
- 1:04:17Speaker 2: this out, because he had an uncharted game and I'm like,
- 1:04:19Speaker 2: I need to get it, and he went to go
- 1:04:21Speaker 2: look for it and they didn't have the disc. I
- 1:04:23Speaker 2: was like, gosh, what I came here.
- 1:04:27Speaker 5: Is only one game that I want right now, and
- 1:04:31Speaker 5: if I get this game, then I'll get back on
- 1:04:33Speaker 5: my journey. Deaf Jam Fight for New York.
- 1:04:37Speaker 2: It's enough talk around it right now. There's enough there.
- 1:04:40Speaker 2: There is a.
- 1:04:42Speaker 9: There's a Steam game where somebody made an attempt to
- 1:04:46Speaker 9: do that, but they made it with like modern rappers
- 1:04:48Speaker 9: or apparently I haven't played it or seen it, but
- 1:04:50Speaker 9: I saw like a trailer for it where it was
- 1:04:51Speaker 9: like a bunch of all the modern day rappers trying
- 1:04:53Speaker 9: to do a Deaf Jam type of situation.
- 1:04:57Speaker 2: It's just when you say that, I think about t
- 1:04:59Speaker 2: Pay imagine he has he has the very valid crash
- 1:05:05Speaker 2: out of like we are having the two guys that
- 1:05:09Speaker 2: have little in their name do something else, something else,
- 1:05:13Speaker 2: Buffalo have baby in their name. I just kept saying
- 1:05:18Speaker 2: the entire time answer Christ, that is a valid crash out,
- 1:05:24Speaker 2: but it's funny as hell. If Depth Jam would actually
- 1:05:27Speaker 2: pay their people, we would have a game by now.
- 1:05:29Speaker 5: Exactly they tried. I said, y'all should have went right
- 1:05:33Speaker 5: back into your mama.
- 1:05:34Speaker 4: I never I never got a lot and I heard
- 1:05:37Speaker 4: better for it.
- 1:05:38Speaker 2: You really it was funny.
- 1:05:39Speaker 9: I never played the others. My first experience is Icon
- 1:05:44Speaker 9: and the mixed emotions I had. Again, I really want
- 1:05:48Speaker 9: it because of the story bout. I have to make
- 1:05:49Speaker 9: my own person do all that cool stuff. Be it
- 1:05:51Speaker 9: be a I think you were like an Asian or
- 1:05:53Speaker 9: A and R or something like that. But that that
- 1:05:56Speaker 9: that table that the fact I didn't have a health
- 1:05:59Speaker 9: bar pissed me off. On back fast.
- 1:06:02Speaker 2: To that.
- 1:06:03Speaker 8: That's this suspend stuff that the d J.
- 1:06:06Speaker 2: Annoyed me so bad. I's gonna say, what is the
- 1:06:10Speaker 2: worst game you play? Because I have one on on
- 1:06:13Speaker 2: on my list?
- 1:06:15Speaker 5: Mm hmm, I don't know. I have a lot.
- 1:06:22Speaker 2: Between me and too far. We got lists, so.
- 1:06:27Speaker 5: Okay, y'all got volumes.
- 1:06:28Speaker 2: Okay, you gotta be a little more specific when you
- 1:06:32Speaker 2: say worst game. I mean genre. I would.
- 1:06:37Speaker 7: The thing for me is that gaming like Brian games
- 1:06:40Speaker 7: are expensive, so I'm not going to stick for the game.
- 1:06:45Speaker 2: You know that.
- 1:06:48Speaker 7: It's bad.
- 1:06:48Speaker 6: Like, I can't think of anything that I've kept over
- 1:06:52Speaker 6: each each generation of console gaming because I'm a console gamer.
- 1:06:57Speaker 7: I'm not a PC gamer.
- 1:06:59Speaker 2: But was the part was whoopie. That's where game Fly
- 1:07:02Speaker 2: came to the place till they decided to update prices.
- 1:07:05Speaker 7: Oh yeah, that's true. I forgot about game Fly game
- 1:07:10Speaker 7: than everybody else.
- 1:07:12Speaker 2: Game Fly was our blockbuster. So they said, now y'all
- 1:07:14Speaker 2: be paying more than ten bucks a month now, So
- 1:07:18Speaker 2: they got on my nerves, like, y'all you was our
- 1:07:20Speaker 2: tribe before we buy because I wasn't ready to let
- 1:07:23Speaker 2: go of sixty five dollars on a maybe. I think
- 1:07:28Speaker 2: the worst game I've played is Superman Returns on Xbox.
- 1:07:33Speaker 2: I didn't even really Yeah that was I was too young.
- 1:07:37Speaker 9: And there are certain games that I acknowledged that when
- 1:07:40Speaker 9: I was a kidy kid of playing them, I was
- 1:07:42Speaker 9: easy to entertain because.
- 1:07:43Speaker 8: I go back to one of them as a kid.
- 1:07:46Speaker 8: I love that game. I want to try to play
- 1:07:47Speaker 8: that game when I was like fifteen and cannot.
- 1:07:50Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not when it's until you mentioned no health
- 1:07:53Speaker 2: bar and I'm like, yeah, on Superman returns. Superman doesn't
- 1:07:56Speaker 2: have a health bar. He has the City's health bar,
- 1:08:00Speaker 2: and you have to stop and save. You just can't
- 1:08:03Speaker 2: fly around and be all willing. You have to stop
- 1:08:07Speaker 2: and say what stop whatever thing is going on. And
- 1:08:11Speaker 2: it's mostly like creatures from Lex Corps that got created.
- 1:08:15Speaker 2: Now they running a month fitty. You had to stop
- 1:08:18Speaker 2: to stop it because if you didn't, they would just
- 1:08:22Speaker 2: It's not like with Spider Man when you you you
- 1:08:25Speaker 2: see the bar and you see the red exclamation point,
- 1:08:28Speaker 2: you could just keep swinging because you might be onto
- 1:08:31Speaker 2: something else that that whatever that was, it just kind
- 1:08:35Speaker 2: of disappears. Super Mari turns. You just can't fly away
- 1:08:40Speaker 2: from whatever creature is attacking a building. You there's no
- 1:08:44Speaker 2: flying away. You fly away, it's still going to be
- 1:08:46Speaker 2: attacking a building, and you can watch it on the
- 1:08:48Speaker 2: City's lifebar going down. It seems to go down faster
- 1:08:52Speaker 2: when you try to fly away.
- 1:08:54Speaker 8: I was not thinking concept that sounds great but horrible.
- 1:09:03Speaker 5: Hot garbage ladies and gentlemen.
- 1:09:06Speaker 2: Icon Icon's health bar was the close. I'm like, how
- 1:09:09Speaker 2: could you tell? Because he was already in ripped jeans
- 1:09:12Speaker 2: and look beat up from started the game. So I
- 1:09:15Speaker 2: I just never understood that. But if I was gonna
- 1:09:17Speaker 2: go worst Games, Shacky Food.
- 1:09:23Speaker 5: Yo, I heard that in a long time, Bro, I was.
- 1:09:26Speaker 2: I was thinking to myself, the worst game, I'll never
- 1:09:29Speaker 2: forget it, Family Video nineteen ninety eight. I was happy
- 1:09:33Speaker 2: as a plan. I said, ooh, shack Food. Didn't realize
- 1:09:36Speaker 2: at that time I was gonna be stuck with that
- 1:09:38Speaker 2: game for three days. And when I tell you, it
- 1:09:42Speaker 2: was the most hot ass garbage, like the way Wizard
- 1:09:46Speaker 2: magazine was pushing that game and ungodly that That lets
- 1:09:51Speaker 2: me know you can't trust gaming magazines. You let me down, game, bro,
- 1:09:55Speaker 2: you let me what's yours? Navy?
- 1:09:59Speaker 5: And and for me being a wrestling fina, a wrestling
- 1:10:03Speaker 5: fan from back in the day, I was excited to
- 1:10:05Speaker 5: see this and this was the emergence of backyard wrestling. Oh,
- 1:10:14Speaker 5: I lost a part of my soul. How do you
- 1:10:20Speaker 5: how do you fall up on the roof and then
- 1:10:23Speaker 5: back down and you miss your I was like, I
- 1:10:27Speaker 5: just want to say, nigga, here, take it back, here,
- 1:10:30Speaker 5: take your coaster. Okay, this is all is good for.
- 1:10:34Speaker 2: War.
- 1:10:35Speaker 5: I had to play Final Fantasy seven. Just be a
- 1:10:37Speaker 5: palate cleanser, Okay.
- 1:10:39Speaker 2: So too far, What was your worst one? Too far
- 1:10:42Speaker 2: is currently on like this major run on playing a
- 1:10:45Speaker 2: lot of classic games and walking gaming. But what what
- 1:10:50Speaker 2: what's the worst one you've played?
- 1:10:52Speaker 4: I say worst when I probably rebought recently.
- 1:10:56Speaker 2: That rebok you tried to give it another shot.
- 1:11:00Speaker 4: It's something like I didn't finish because maybe I was
- 1:11:02Speaker 4: just a kid. And whoever the fuck designed Tarzan for
- 1:11:05Speaker 4: the game Boy, that is the most that is the
- 1:11:09Speaker 4: most unforgiving. Like there's some games like all right, this
- 1:11:12Speaker 4: is just complicated. Like there's a game on the original
- 1:11:15Speaker 4: game called Rad I think it's called Bad and Rad
- 1:11:18Speaker 4: Skater Die. I can't get pass level it's almost like
- 1:11:21Speaker 4: five level die. Yeah, I can't get past level three.
- 1:11:24Speaker 4: That one's just challenging.
- 1:11:25Speaker 2: I'm just bad.
- 1:11:26Speaker 4: That Tarzan game is just unforgiving. Like and then it
- 1:11:31Speaker 4: starts you back at like zero zero. Thankfully, the you
- 1:11:36Speaker 4: get to certain points and there they give you codes
- 1:11:38Speaker 4: to get back to the level you were at. Write
- 1:11:41Speaker 4: them down. You're just gonna be able to just to
- 1:11:42Speaker 4: fling the whole damn thing. That's kind of pissed because
- 1:11:46Speaker 4: my gat all three of my pokemons. Then finally get
- 1:11:49Speaker 4: they batter them and so those gotta get changed.
- 1:11:54Speaker 2: That was another one. Sorry, That was another one that
- 1:11:56Speaker 2: was like waste the money, says Lord of the Rings Nintendo.
- 1:12:01Speaker 2: Mm hmmm, that was good and terrible. See I'm glad
- 1:12:05Speaker 2: you mentioned Tarzan too far, because that doubles as not
- 1:12:09Speaker 2: only just your worst game, but a game that has
- 1:12:12Speaker 2: a very impossible level because there's Ninja Turtles when you're
- 1:12:19Speaker 2: underwater and there's the electric electrified vines, and no matter
- 1:12:24Speaker 2: how you try to get through it, you always get zapped.
- 1:12:29Speaker 2: Like how am I getting zapped? I'm not even touching
- 1:12:32Speaker 2: the vine? Right?
- 1:12:34Speaker 5: That was me in Battle Toads.
- 1:12:35Speaker 2: I was getting I got, I.
- 1:12:39Speaker 4: Got the collection because it was free on PSN. I
- 1:12:42Speaker 4: had to just speed through that hell note like they
- 1:12:47Speaker 4: have like a fast forward mode in there, where like
- 1:12:49Speaker 4: the computer plays it for you and just speeds through
- 1:12:51Speaker 4: the level and doesn't get hit and you can just
- 1:12:53Speaker 4: drop yourself off at the end and get the troph
- 1:12:55Speaker 4: for a beat that I had to do that because
- 1:12:56Speaker 4: that trying to play that fair just wasn't working. Like
- 1:12:59Speaker 4: I was good forty five. And then there's the one
- 1:13:02Speaker 4: I think it's the like original game Boy one where
- 1:13:05Speaker 4: you were just running like I think the last so
- 1:13:07Speaker 4: you just run the goddamn gauntlet of like b Bob
- 1:13:10Speaker 4: rock Steady the Bad Person and like Shredders at the
- 1:13:14Speaker 4: end of them, like I haven't lost damn to every
- 1:13:15Speaker 4: Turtle and life not Turtles in Time. It's one of those.
- 1:13:20Speaker 4: It was like one of the old black and white
- 1:13:22Speaker 4: tmn T games.
- 1:13:24Speaker 2: M hmm, I think he's talking. Is it from the
- 1:13:27Speaker 2: Game Boy? I want to say from it had to
- 1:13:28Speaker 2: be on.
- 1:13:30Speaker 4: It was like you could swap between all four turtles,
- 1:13:32Speaker 4: but I think they each had a health bar. But
- 1:13:35Speaker 4: that last level was.
- 1:13:36Speaker 2: Just no.
- 1:13:39Speaker 4: Really, yeah, it was because it came with like a
- 1:13:42Speaker 4: tvn T collection after Mute and Mayhem, Mute maham, what
- 1:13:48Speaker 4: was it? The Beat him Up that everybody was playing
- 1:13:50Speaker 4: a couple of years ago, and I was like, I'll
- 1:13:52Speaker 4: try these classics.
- 1:13:52Speaker 2: And the Fighting Edition ones.
- 1:13:55Speaker 4: I mean it was included in there.
- 1:13:58Speaker 2: Oh, I know the package you're talking about, because they
- 1:14:00Speaker 2: had it up for like like a limited time. I
- 1:14:02Speaker 2: remember the cal Bunker pack.
- 1:14:05Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it was one of those in the cal
- 1:14:07Speaker 4: Bunker collection and I was like, you know what, it
- 1:14:10Speaker 4: was either an any s or SNS title. I'm like, yeah,
- 1:14:13Speaker 4: this is not getting played fair.
- 1:14:16Speaker 2: So I got a question for everybody.
- 1:14:19Speaker 5: Mm hmm. I definitely hear Charlie's impact response to this.
- 1:14:24Speaker 5: So we're talking about the worst games. Is there a
- 1:14:27Speaker 5: game that you thought was bad, you tried it again
- 1:14:30Speaker 5: and you changed your mind after you played it again.
- 1:14:35Speaker 5: How much time passed in between.
- 1:14:38Speaker 2: That was? That was set me?
- 1:14:40Speaker 9: That wasn't me for really, So my mother got me
- 1:14:45Speaker 9: that game. It was it was a bargain being game
- 1:14:47Speaker 9: like it was. It was cheap for her report card.
- 1:14:49Speaker 9: I can get this nigga a cheap game. And I
- 1:14:54Speaker 9: keopped playing it when I was like maybe like six seven,
- 1:14:57Speaker 9: and because it was so much reading and so much going,
- 1:14:59Speaker 9: I'm like, I don't I'm putting this it away. And
- 1:15:02Speaker 9: but I was like fourteen, I was looking for something
- 1:15:05Speaker 9: to play, like it's gonna be something in this like
- 1:15:07Speaker 9: in this CADG and stuff you got it that I
- 1:15:08Speaker 9: haven't touched you.
- 1:15:09Speaker 7: And I found that.
- 1:15:10Speaker 9: I was like, sorry, we'll get this another, try man again.
- 1:15:13Speaker 9: It's officially like it may be my favorite gaming friends
- 1:15:16Speaker 9: of all time. Now it is up there. It's in
- 1:15:17Speaker 9: the top three of my favorite one one of the two.
- 1:15:19Speaker 2: Nice Okay, definitelybody. I can't think of one because every
- 1:15:26Speaker 2: game I said was trash is still trash, so I
- 1:15:28Speaker 2: might be out.
- 1:15:30Speaker 4: I said not so much trash, but now that I'm
- 1:15:32Speaker 4: older and understand the lower and kind of I can
- 1:15:37Speaker 4: pick up on clues. Probably windwakeruz I don't know how
- 1:15:42Speaker 4: anybody was getting through that last third of that game
- 1:15:44Speaker 4: by themselves, especially with like no real guides or internet
- 1:15:48Speaker 4: like we had like early IGN and game facts, and
- 1:15:51Speaker 4: if that's if somebody took time to make an entire
- 1:15:54Speaker 4: blog got an ashke art like, it's.
- 1:15:58Speaker 2: Not garbage, but the graphics aren't that great. GoldenEye, Come on,
- 1:16:10Speaker 2: you know it's a great game. GoldenEye is is great
- 1:16:14Speaker 2: to play, Yeah, but the graphics we're not that good.
- 1:16:20Speaker 2: When you're when you're good, when you're great. Thing is
- 1:16:24Speaker 2: you can put it on god mode, but it made
- 1:16:26Speaker 2: it kind of difficult to advance and missions. But when
- 1:16:30Speaker 2: you see the faces and they look like Modoc from
- 1:16:34Speaker 2: ant Man in Quantum Mania, it's like you're just like, oh,
- 1:16:39Speaker 2: because I remember telling my son, I'm like Golden Ice
- 1:16:42Speaker 2: Ship were playing it, and I'm like, oh, I forgot
- 1:16:44Speaker 2: it looked like odd job. Look our job looked more
- 1:16:48Speaker 2: like a pencil of the hat.
- 1:16:49Speaker 4: Yeah, at some point I will go and actually play gameplay.
- 1:16:52Speaker 2: Great gameplay is great, especially when it's just one on
- 1:16:56Speaker 2: one and you're and they just put you, like in
- 1:16:57Speaker 2: that building where you just you have to look at
- 1:17:01Speaker 2: the upper right game corner of the map to find
- 1:17:03Speaker 2: out where your opponent is. That's great.
- 1:17:06Speaker 5: Imagine playing that game on a navy ship and you're
- 1:17:10Speaker 5: playing four players in the birthing in front of the
- 1:17:14Speaker 5: TV and a bunch of grown ass men are screaming
- 1:17:17Speaker 5: like they are in a daycare because it's no odd job.
- 1:17:22Speaker 5: Slaps this slappers no odd job, let me tell you.
- 1:17:26Speaker 5: Then you people screaming bitch every time. It's like bitch
- 1:17:29Speaker 5: snacking the head and then run what bitch? Smack them
- 1:17:32Speaker 5: in the head and run like what do you know it?
- 1:17:34Speaker 5: I hate you smack in the head and run.
- 1:17:38Speaker 2: Oh I got that was very much like a party
- 1:17:41Speaker 2: game for us.
- 1:17:41Speaker 4: But as far as the story, I never know what
- 1:17:43Speaker 4: the hell is going on, Like I never heard the kids.
- 1:17:46Speaker 4: We were not reading that Docia. It was throwing in shooting.
- 1:17:49Speaker 4: It was like you failed the mission, the mission, but
- 1:17:53Speaker 4: I'm still here, Like the level don't restart. I'm just
- 1:17:55Speaker 4: wandering around as a failure, like I don't.
- 1:17:58Speaker 2: Oh right, most Bond games are actually because there's Golden
- 1:18:03Speaker 2: GoldenEye is like the Pinnacle. Then there's Tomorrow Never Dies,
- 1:18:07Speaker 2: which that that was actually fun.
- 1:18:10Speaker 6: What about terrible levels and otherwise great games?
- 1:18:18Speaker 2: Terrible levels? Would you say terrible terrible terrible levels?
- 1:18:26Speaker 8: I know what you're talking about. To you said d
- 1:18:28Speaker 8: m C two, Yep, yeah, I know that's what you're
- 1:18:31Speaker 8: talking about.
- 1:18:34Speaker 2: All I gotta say is two words DISC two for
- 1:18:39Speaker 2: me that.
- 1:18:44Speaker 6: I raged quit g t A San Andreas for two
- 1:18:48Speaker 6: months over that flying level, that ship.
- 1:18:54Speaker 7: Pissed me off.
- 1:18:56Speaker 4: The flight school or just one of the another flights cool,
- 1:19:00Speaker 4: Like yeah, I was. I was stuck for like two months.
- 1:19:05Speaker 4: And then it's just James Woods threatening you every five minutes.
- 1:19:10Speaker 4: You ever want to see your brother again? You know,
- 1:19:12Speaker 4: im prison learn to fly? This is like I can't though,
- 1:19:15Speaker 4: like this it is impossible. I read I couldn't do it,
- 1:19:21Speaker 4: and then find it out I had to get a
- 1:19:22Speaker 4: whole new copy because apparently Hillary Clinton made them print
- 1:19:25Speaker 4: a whole new second version of the game. Wow, but yeah,
- 1:19:30Speaker 4: thanks thanks for the micro transactions, Epstein, Like.
- 1:19:34Speaker 2: Wow, it's behind it. He when when you sit back,
- 1:19:40Speaker 2: it's just like looking at Omar from the wire when
- 1:19:42Speaker 2: you find out that's who was behind the micro transaction.
- 1:19:48Speaker 8: Man, it's a Disney feeling.
- 1:19:52Speaker 4: This man is don Everything terrible, a terrible level design
- 1:20:00Speaker 4: that that because it's been twenty years. That final stage
- 1:20:03Speaker 4: for Sonico six, well you got to play as everybody,
- 1:20:05Speaker 4: well you haven't got the chance to play as like
- 1:20:07Speaker 4: the entire game, but you got to keep finding those
- 1:20:11Speaker 4: orbs to like stop the fucking paradeemons or whatever from
- 1:20:14Speaker 4: coming through, which also have a poll that pulls you
- 1:20:18Speaker 4: in faster than you can run away from and if
- 1:20:20Speaker 4: you touch him its instant death. And now you got
- 1:20:22Speaker 4: to share one life across like seven characters.
- 1:20:26Speaker 2: It's it's terribly Yeah, that was that was me with the.
- 1:20:30Speaker 9: Ultimate Alliance had a level in Arcades Murder World where
- 1:20:35Speaker 9: you got to put in an arcade game. Yeah, I know,
- 1:20:37Speaker 9: you you just have to jump over blobs for like
- 1:20:40Speaker 9: thirty minutes, and I'm just I was so annoyed every
- 1:20:44Speaker 9: time I had to play through that shit.
- 1:20:44Speaker 2: I was so annoyed. For me, it was.
- 1:20:49Speaker 5: The Manhunt, and I think Spartan about Manhunt there was
- 1:20:54Speaker 5: the level where you had to escort the drunk and
- 1:20:59Speaker 5: get him to safety, trying to get this drug ass
- 1:21:03Speaker 5: bump into the shadows to get him to shut the
- 1:21:06Speaker 5: fuck up because they hear us. All you have is
- 1:21:10Speaker 5: a plastic bag, a shard of glass, and maybe a
- 1:21:14Speaker 5: brick to take these jokers out. And he's in there,
- 1:21:17Speaker 5: going way from from around here.
- 1:21:22Speaker 2: Here. Here's the messed up part. Here, here's the messed
- 1:21:28Speaker 2: up part. The shadow was a glitch. Yeah, you could
- 1:21:32Speaker 2: hide him in the shadows thinking you're safe, and they
- 1:21:36Speaker 2: will go straight to you as if they can see you.
- 1:21:39Speaker 5: I was so pissed at them, like click, click done.
- 1:21:48Speaker 2: I would have to say from this two different games.
- 1:21:51Speaker 2: One of them it's from Super Mario. I want to
- 1:21:56Speaker 2: say it might be three. When you're you have all
- 1:21:59Speaker 2: the fire the fire ball things that's rotating. I've seen
- 1:22:04Speaker 2: somebody actually defeat it, and I'm like, how that's a
- 1:22:09Speaker 2: lot of dedication, how like how did you do this?
- 1:22:13Speaker 2: And like how what version of it? What version was
- 1:22:18Speaker 2: that was?
- 1:22:19Speaker 7: That was Maker Mario?
- 1:22:23Speaker 2: Oh No, that's those are how villains are created. That
- 1:22:31Speaker 2: there was that, and then I take it. I think
- 1:22:33Speaker 2: it was Spider Man.
- 1:22:35Speaker 8: It was on justizz you want the Pizza Ship from
- 1:22:38Speaker 8: Spider Man two?
- 1:22:39Speaker 9: Yes, yes, yes, Oh my god, I would kill me
- 1:22:46Speaker 9: as a kid.
- 1:22:46Speaker 2: We didn't have a memory card either. We had to
- 1:22:48Speaker 2: let that bitch run.
- 1:22:49Speaker 4: No.
- 1:22:52Speaker 8: I I messed up so many pizzas. I'm like, one
- 1:22:56Speaker 8: of me is Spider manut is a swing and do flips.
- 1:22:57Speaker 8: But I can't do flips anymore. I can't just run,
- 1:23:00Speaker 8: so you're not gonna get there.
- 1:23:01Speaker 2: And that pissed me off so bad. So this is
- 1:23:03Speaker 2: like you're talking about me and my brother. Me and
- 1:23:07Speaker 2: my younger brother had to take turns because we were
- 1:23:10Speaker 2: just at one point. I'm like, right around the corner.
- 1:23:14Speaker 2: Time up. No, no, w lie. What's worse is how
- 1:23:20Speaker 2: time fires as you hit the spot.
- 1:23:22Speaker 9: Mm hmm.

- 1:23:33Speaker 8: Force came on PS two.
- 1:23:35Speaker 9: I remember that game irritating me so bad because in
- 1:23:38Speaker 9: my mind Benjon is a power fantasy. But all the
- 1:23:41Speaker 9: aliens you turned into can only punch for the most part,
- 1:23:44Speaker 9: you get a middle common. I'm like, what's the point
- 1:23:45Speaker 9: of being big hill? I can't blow, freeze, breath like
- 1:23:47Speaker 9: I'm just I'm punching them with the dude that can

- 1:25:53Speaker 9: If it's good, well even if it's not good it's bad,
- 1:25:55Speaker 9: I'll still watch just to see, just to say, to
- 1:25:57Speaker 9: see it can get.

- 1:26:07Speaker 9: Action may not just be the worst hour movie of
- 1:26:09Speaker 9: all and it may be the actual worst movie of
- 1:26:11Speaker 9: all time, damn and and it hurts my heart because
- 1:26:14Speaker 9: I think it's like a black film student made it
- 1:26:16Speaker 9: a while back, but it's so much like from the
- 1:26:19Speaker 9: editing to random scenes to there's there's I think people
- 1:26:23Speaker 9: there's literally a bunch of YouTube videos of people online
- 1:26:25Speaker 9: on YouTube talking about how bad this movie is.
- 1:26:27Speaker 2: It's just commedicy. Is it worse than Milaennia?
- 1:26:33Speaker 8: Any movie you can think of? It's worse than that.
- 1:26:35Speaker 2: Oh man, see I can't. I'm trying to think of
- 1:26:39Speaker 2: the I think it was called game Over. Had Frankie
- 1:26:42Speaker 2: Munaiz was in it? Yeah?
- 1:26:43Speaker 5: Game Over?
- 1:26:44Speaker 2: Yeah? Me and more White we were like, okay, that's cool.
- 1:26:47Speaker 2: You played the game and how you die in the
- 1:26:49Speaker 2: game you die and we're like, okay, this is interesting.
- 1:26:52Speaker 2: Go see it. And I'm like this sucks. This sucks. No.
- 1:26:59Speaker 2: But then we've seen Cursed and I'm like, horror comedy.
- 1:27:04Speaker 2: I can dig it, I could dig it.
- 1:27:07Speaker 8: So yeah, that's me has me watching uh was a
- 1:27:12Speaker 8: thor raging rock.
- 1:27:15Speaker 6: Wow?
- 1:27:17Speaker 5: Not loving thunder wow.
- 1:27:20Speaker 9: You know you know why I'm a major hole fan
- 1:27:24Speaker 9: and my favorite whole line of all time is a
- 1:27:26Speaker 9: combination of Planet Hulk and Walldor Hulk.
- 1:27:29Speaker 8: So you make Planet Hulk a B comedy skit in
- 1:27:33Speaker 8: a thort movie our rage.
- 1:27:35Speaker 2: I wanted to put.
- 1:27:39Speaker 8: Here cracking jokes.
- 1:27:40Speaker 2: He's to be fighting for his life, fighting.
- 1:27:43Speaker 8: The cardson din it.
- 1:27:46Speaker 2: I enjoyed ragnar Rock. I would have thought you said love,
- 1:27:49Speaker 2: Love and Thunder. Look, they took elements element they took
- 1:27:53Speaker 2: elements of love and thunder.
- 1:27:56Speaker 6: And I'm like, but to take such a good story
- 1:28:02Speaker 6: involving Gore to God killed that that was.
- 1:28:05Speaker 2: The most disappointing. I'm like, Okay, you got a great actor,
- 1:28:08Speaker 2: they got a great You couldn't give him like great makeup.
- 1:28:13Speaker 2: You couldn't really show him look at bearing ass somewhere.
- 1:28:20Speaker 5: I was gonna say the same thing.
- 1:28:21Speaker 7: Look, I didn't even care about the make up.
- 1:28:24Speaker 2: It's just.
- 1:28:28Speaker 7: Feeling and a good actor as the good villain. And
- 1:28:31Speaker 7: we did nothing.
- 1:28:33Speaker 2: Yeah, the world so boring.
- 1:28:35Speaker 9: They're like, we had a course correct, So what is
- 1:28:36Speaker 9: called full comedy? I'm like, you would the direction.
- 1:28:41Speaker 2: When we find a lane? When when Ragnarock got Okay,
- 1:28:46Speaker 2: love and Thunder was a green light and we should
- 1:28:49Speaker 2: have all sat there instaid of raging Rock. No, it was.
- 1:28:53Speaker 2: And the thing is Ragnarok had great element. Ragn was
- 1:28:57Speaker 2: not bad, but they leaned too far into that level.
- 1:29:02Speaker 2: They like, I'm like, all right, this is fine, but
- 1:29:05Speaker 2: let's kind of switch it up a little bit. And
- 1:29:08Speaker 2: then you leaned way too into it. And it was
- 1:29:11Speaker 2: just like, I'm fine with him and and and get
- 1:29:15Speaker 2: him having storm Breaker and Mirror is a you know,
- 1:29:18Speaker 2: Stormbreakers coming off like this jealous a little bit because
- 1:29:21Speaker 2: he's I'm fine with that. That that's funny, That's okay.
- 1:29:25Speaker 2: I'm fine with Valkyrie and Jane basically having a whole film,
- 1:29:29Speaker 2: and the Louise moments. You know, I'm okay with those moments.
- 1:29:34Speaker 2: I was like, wait, so all the kids have the
- 1:29:39Speaker 2: powers and.
- 1:29:43Speaker 9: M hmm when they when they went into this panting
- 1:29:46Speaker 9: fean of all the guys we're having a meeting because
- 1:29:48Speaker 9: we're all in the fear of this one god Butcher right,
- 1:29:51Speaker 9: and it turned into a stand up comedy.
- 1:29:53Speaker 8: Fans of seeing Thord ass cheek out, I'm.
- 1:29:55Speaker 2: Like, what was what happened? We got bass in that
- 1:30:00Speaker 2: scene and and nothing else and granted, once again you
- 1:30:05Speaker 2: got another great actor in Russell Crowe. Yes, it was
- 1:30:09Speaker 2: funny for him walking down the stairs, But then you
- 1:30:11Speaker 2: could have just stopped it right there and got got
- 1:30:13Speaker 2: to it. You did not see, we did not need
- 1:30:17Speaker 2: it was a It was a terrible, uttered and cut
- 1:30:20Speaker 2: job to see to be in the pantheon the gods,
- 1:30:23Speaker 2: and you get about ten minutes of Russell Crowe screaming
- 1:30:28Speaker 2: what's happening? First of the first time times? Why shout
- 1:30:34Speaker 2: out to Trade Mosley. If you can now listen to
- 1:30:37Speaker 2: him on the latest episode of Primal, watch go watch
- 1:30:43Speaker 2: Primo if you have not.
- 1:30:45Speaker 4: That show is all kinds of insanity and not enough
- 1:30:47Speaker 4: people are talking about it, but.
- 1:30:49Speaker 2: Keep hearing good things about it. I need to start that.
- 1:30:52Speaker 5: Once to talk about it so bad. And he couldn't.
- 1:30:55Speaker 5: I could just see him just like.
- 1:30:56Speaker 2: I tell you, that is strong. But yeah, I think
- 1:31:07Speaker 2: when it comes to I'm fine with certain comedy elements
- 1:31:11Speaker 2: because that's Helmsworth and that's fine. But they lidly like
- 1:31:16Speaker 2: when they show him and he's with the Guardians of
- 1:31:18Speaker 2: the Galaxy and what do we you and me say, Spartan,
- 1:31:20Speaker 2: it was like in need the next Guardians movie should
- 1:31:23Speaker 2: be the ass Guardians. Like somebody spray painted a a
- 1:31:26Speaker 2: s in front of it and said, ass Guardians of
- 1:31:29Speaker 2: the Galaxy volume three or whatever, but but the Guardians
- 1:31:32Speaker 2: of the Galery volumes were fine, but the show this
- 1:31:36Speaker 2: level of it and then he does the full John
- 1:31:39Speaker 2: Claude van Damn split mh. I'm like, it was a
- 1:31:45Speaker 2: giggle moment, but I was just like, it wasn't necessary
- 1:31:50Speaker 2: and bring brings up to y'all.
- 1:31:55Speaker 8: I did recently.
- 1:31:56Speaker 9: I recently did a couple of movies really did not movies,
- 1:31:58Speaker 9: and then did a couple the It was kind of
- 1:32:00Speaker 9: just critique marvelin DC and was talking about Iron Hurt
- 1:32:04Speaker 9: specifically and.
- 1:32:07Speaker 8: How I enjoyed it.
- 1:32:08Speaker 9: But most of the comment section it was who you
- 1:32:10Speaker 9: would think had issues with it, discussing, oh, she was
- 1:32:15Speaker 9: too air again, she was such and such, And then
- 1:32:18Speaker 9: I was like, Okay, did y'all you didn't say that
- 1:32:20Speaker 9: about Tony because Tony was that bad area at least
- 1:32:25Speaker 9: until like after Avengers. They're like, whoa, he had a
- 1:32:28Speaker 9: whole art. I'm like, so you want this character to
- 1:32:31Speaker 9: go through eight episodes and have an entire arc the
- 1:32:35Speaker 9: equivalent of what Tony Stark had over a decade. And
- 1:32:38Speaker 9: then it led me to the form of thought of
- 1:32:39Speaker 9: I don't think people remember how bad most of Phase
- 1:32:42Speaker 9: one or the beginning of the MCU was. I think
- 1:32:44Speaker 9: people have a lot of like rose tended glasses when
- 1:32:47Speaker 9: you're looking at Iron War School. Yeah, Man two was
- 1:32:51Speaker 9: not iron Man three was not Thor A Dark World
- 1:32:53Speaker 9: was not Captain. At least for me, the first Captain
- 1:32:56Speaker 9: American movie was not good. There's a lot of there
- 1:32:59Speaker 9: was a lot of fails in that first little art there. Stuff,
- 1:33:02Speaker 9: at least in my mind, didn't really pop off into
- 1:33:04Speaker 9: really good good movies until after Avengeance for the most part.
- 1:33:07Speaker 9: But I think people start that rose tenned glasses of
- 1:33:10Speaker 9: like how good stuff was before that.
- 1:33:12Speaker 8: We go back to the old MCU. Y'all hated that.
- 1:33:15Speaker 2: I did not like those. It was just it was.
- 1:33:19Speaker 4: Complain about everything, like look at a Cap four like, oh,
- 1:33:22Speaker 4: it's just the Hulk movie. I'm like, y'all been complaining
- 1:33:24Speaker 4: about not having that Hulk since two thousand and eight, So.
- 1:33:27Speaker 2: Which is it? And they couldn't choose picking too you.
- 1:33:33Speaker 2: I'm glad you mentioned I heard because they it was
- 1:33:36Speaker 2: the same thing with Wonder Man. Mind you, they're very
- 1:33:40Speaker 2: close to possibly green lightning a second season because it's
- 1:33:45Speaker 2: actually good. Yep, you know it's this even with the
- 1:33:50Speaker 2: lackluster marketing ploy that they did that may have been
- 1:33:54Speaker 2: by a design who knows. But I liked Ironheart. I
- 1:33:58Speaker 2: like the Marvels mm hmm uh. Captain American Winter Soldier
- 1:34:03Speaker 2: is probably the best out of the Chris Evans run,
- 1:34:08Speaker 2: you know, because you know that whole espionage type of feeling.
- 1:34:12Speaker 2: I'm like, that's the that's it, that's it for him.
- 1:34:16Speaker 2: That's what you do, the espionage styles like type stuff.
- 1:34:19Speaker 2: You know. Uh, Civil War was good, you know, but
- 1:34:24Speaker 2: you're right, iron Man three Soldier, it's perfection. The Soldier
- 1:34:29Speaker 2: was good. It was perfectly you figure iron Man three,
- 1:34:33Speaker 2: you know, with the turn of finding out who the
- 1:34:36Speaker 2: Mandarin is, but you actually did something with that character.
- 1:34:41Speaker 2: Later on, I'm like, okay, that was made it a.
- 1:34:45Speaker 9: Little bit better because I was getting in they made
- 1:34:48Speaker 9: more jokes about it. I'm like, okay, I get it.
- 1:34:49Speaker 9: It was bad to you, we understand. But now I'm like, okay, okay,
- 1:34:56Speaker 9: we wouldn't have Trevor Thatcher.
- 1:34:57Speaker 2: We would not have Trevor Thatcher without iron Man three.
- 1:35:00Speaker 2: But even at that point, I was like, y'all take
- 1:35:03Speaker 2: the Greatest Enemy of Iron Man and you turn him
- 1:35:06Speaker 2: into an actor.
- 1:35:10Speaker 9: And then I remember, for years I heard the Marble formula.
- 1:35:13Speaker 9: The Marvel people are hating the Marvel formula. We get
- 1:35:15Speaker 9: the Eternals, it's boring cool Marble formula. Did we get
- 1:35:21Speaker 9: the New Avengers back to Marvel formula? Oh we love this,
- 1:35:23Speaker 9: this is amazing. But y'all said, y'all hated the formula?
- 1:35:26Speaker 2: Though what do we? What do we? People don't know
- 1:35:27Speaker 2: what they want. They know they want my My only
- 1:35:31Speaker 2: hang up with the Eternals was they didn't make the characters.
- 1:35:35Speaker 2: They made them. They made them seem like they were
- 1:35:37Speaker 2: very well established. That's what they made them very and
- 1:35:41Speaker 2: it was it made it hard for you to care
- 1:35:43Speaker 2: about outside of THEA because I'm like, hey, this is
- 1:35:47Speaker 2: Angelina Joe Lee up there, she whooping an ass. I
- 1:35:49Speaker 2: don't know what else to tell you, you know, argued.
- 1:35:52Speaker 8: Definitely it should have been serious.
- 1:35:53Speaker 2: You have. That's too many characters to try to like
- 1:35:55Speaker 2: flesh out in the one movie.
- 1:35:57Speaker 4: They banged too much on it being a star studied
- 1:36:00Speaker 4: cast that we probably won't hire like that again, versus
- 1:36:04Speaker 4: just trying and thought that was gonna overshadow the questions
- 1:36:07Speaker 4: that you would have about who the hell are these people?
- 1:36:11Speaker 2: And where you had you had and you had Angelina
- 1:36:14Speaker 2: Joe Lee. I know the budget was blown off those
- 1:36:18Speaker 2: two alone. What the crazy part was you didn't humanize them.
- 1:36:22Speaker 2: There was no like Ya said, they couldn't. Nobody could
- 1:36:24Speaker 2: relate to the Eternals unless you follow the comic. You
- 1:36:27Speaker 2: wouldn't know about the Reverend. You wouldn't know about the Reverends.
- 1:36:29Speaker 2: You wouldn't know about the the the Celestials, you wouldn't
- 1:36:33Speaker 2: even know the hierarchy of it. They just sat there
- 1:36:35Speaker 2: and said, let's throw enough cgi at it, enough fight scenes,
- 1:36:38Speaker 2: and I'm like, I'd love to see my boy Gilgamesh.
- 1:36:41Speaker 2: But at the same time, I know who Gilgamesh was.
- 1:36:44Speaker 9: I thought they I feel like they tried, but there
- 1:36:48Speaker 9: wasn't enough run time for each staff, like they had
- 1:36:50Speaker 9: like one moment that was supposed to connect you to
- 1:36:53Speaker 9: the characters, like with I can't remember the name of
- 1:36:55Speaker 9: Brian Tyree Henry's character. Yeah, well, so his family will
- 1:37:01Speaker 9: show his son. That'll humanize him. I'm like, but we
- 1:37:03Speaker 9: didn't spend any time with them for real to see
- 1:37:05Speaker 9: how he even got here.
- 1:37:06Speaker 2: And that's the issue.
- 1:37:07Speaker 8: We didn't see how they got to that point. We
- 1:37:09Speaker 8: just saw them where they were. So the stakes or
- 1:37:12Speaker 8: are attachment to him, I don't know.
- 1:37:14Speaker 6: And you're right, you're trying to add these other side
- 1:37:18Speaker 6: characters that end with the Black Knight and then hinting
- 1:37:23Speaker 6: that blade at It was just too much.
- 1:37:26Speaker 2: They doing. My boy, Marshal is so dirty, so dirty,
- 1:37:30Speaker 2: that's hurt my soul. And you're right, Charlie, I think
- 1:37:32Speaker 2: it would have been better as a series. So at
- 1:37:35Speaker 2: least that way you can each each episode would deal
- 1:37:39Speaker 2: with each character it would have and then like the
- 1:37:44Speaker 2: first they probably would have they would have. Yeah, they
- 1:37:48Speaker 2: would have ran a six to eight episode.
- 1:37:50Speaker 9: I mean we we almost came into that with Acathol along,
- 1:37:53Speaker 9: didn't we Or they didn't get like a full episode,
- 1:37:55Speaker 9: but like we were getting flashbacks for each of the
- 1:37:56Speaker 9: witches dam in every episode.
- 1:37:58Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, so there's they could have pulled it off,
- 1:38:02Speaker 2: but they I think they put so much. You had,
- 1:38:05Speaker 2: you had an Oscar winning director, you had very too
- 1:38:09Speaker 2: high profile actresses. You had another actor who came off
- 1:38:13Speaker 2: a major HBO series. You know, so it was just
- 1:38:17Speaker 2: like you're you know, then you know, two actors from
- 1:38:21Speaker 2: a major HBO series and then you're just throwing everything.
- 1:38:24Speaker 2: It was like it was too much and it was
- 1:38:27Speaker 2: too condensed, and there wasn't any time to really develop
- 1:38:32Speaker 2: because the story was there. Even I had theories and
- 1:38:36Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, I can see where thanos because he
- 1:38:39Speaker 2: has that type, he has that deviant gene. And again
- 1:38:45Speaker 2: apparently Harry Styles was that.
- 1:38:49Speaker 9: There space m hm so and that's that's from Ryan
- 1:38:55Speaker 9: for DC right now, man, because the gun don't jam,
- 1:38:58Speaker 9: the gun don't jam, right saying that, I just I.
- 1:39:02Speaker 4: Just need them to introduce Lazra's pits and undo my
- 1:39:06Speaker 4: girl's death because in Creature Commando she didn't deserve that ship.
- 1:39:11Speaker 2: I'm still hurt.
- 1:39:12Speaker 4: But the first the first pitch y'all find, but like
- 1:39:17Speaker 4: nothing about her even gave fighter y'all just still her
- 1:39:19Speaker 4: in the tank for being alive.
- 1:39:20Speaker 2: Man.
- 1:39:21Speaker 9: See, it wouldn't even hurt from me. It was it
- 1:39:24Speaker 9: was my buddy from from the Penguin showy.
- 1:39:27Speaker 2: Name not the right hand many Victor boy a great show.
- 1:39:35Speaker 2: But I'm like, and Victor, the.
- 1:39:40Speaker 8: Thing that made that so perfect was this entire series.
- 1:39:43Speaker 9: You're humanizing, You're humanizing Oswald, right, You're making it makes
- 1:39:47Speaker 9: me like him at the very in you remind me
- 1:39:50Speaker 9: while he's a villain, that's why he's a super villain.
- 1:39:55Speaker 2: He even he he he did what he felt he
- 1:39:59Speaker 2: needed to, dude, and there was some slight remorse in there.
- 1:40:04Speaker 2: I think he felt like he had a moment. He
- 1:40:10Speaker 2: had a moment. Now, I'm just gonna sit there and say,
- 1:40:16Speaker 2: the crazy part was the whole time and saying you're
- 1:40:18Speaker 2: you know, you're a good You're a good man. You
- 1:40:20Speaker 2: had my back. But the problem is I care about
- 1:40:24Speaker 2: you as you are literally choking this man out like
- 1:40:27Speaker 2: you can use against me and I can't have any
- 1:40:29Speaker 2: weakness this kid. Dang the level he was leaning with
- 1:40:36Speaker 2: him too. He's like, I'm like, oh, man, got enough,
- 1:40:41Speaker 2: bus buddy, the girl was waiting for you. Get a hold.
- 1:40:44Speaker 2: You're getting out of Gotham. You got to get out
- 1:40:47Speaker 2: of Gotham.
- 1:40:49Speaker 6: I mean, your man took his mom and basically he's
- 1:40:56Speaker 6: keeping her alive out of spite.
- 1:40:58Speaker 2: Yeah. That that's that's that's some twisted up.
- 1:41:01Speaker 7: That's his mom.
- 1:41:03Speaker 2: He don't care even she know he's a bastard. Now
- 1:41:06Speaker 2: she can't do nothing about it. So I promise you
- 1:41:10Speaker 2: might put you up in the I promise I'll put
- 1:41:12Speaker 2: you up with a with a what a you a Gotham?
- 1:41:14Speaker 2: Did not? I told you, I told you I do
- 1:41:16Speaker 2: it got her in the bed man, she bedridden. Now
- 1:41:21Speaker 2: she was just a little loose in the head before.
- 1:41:23Speaker 2: Now she's bedridden.
- 1:41:26Speaker 6: And then and she's aware enough to know that why
- 1:41:30Speaker 6: she's there.
- 1:41:31Speaker 2: You know what I mean. I know Mike, I I
- 1:41:34Speaker 2: know he got some some ship going. I know he's
- 1:41:37Speaker 2: the reason why his brother is dead. I know I
- 1:41:41Speaker 2: know these things.
- 1:41:43Speaker 4: Yet it's the fact they all stop mid tortures, like
- 1:41:45Speaker 4: you really just gonna let this ship continue, like we
- 1:41:47Speaker 4: all know you're lying, Like none of us, none of
- 1:41:50Speaker 4: us here like or know each other, but we all
- 1:41:52Speaker 4: know you just won't tell the truth, Like like we
- 1:41:55Speaker 4: don't want to cut her finger off, She don't want
- 1:41:57Speaker 4: to lose a finger, and we are the was even
- 1:42:00Speaker 4: she's on our side of like niggas tell the truth.
- 1:42:02Speaker 4: That's wrong with you and knowing, knowing Batman, you're gonna
- 1:42:05Speaker 4: put it right next to the window that Bruce is
- 1:42:07Speaker 4: probably gonna break into the next movie, like the whole
- 1:42:11Speaker 4: dramatic interest, like, yeah, that's my fucking mom. Why would
- 1:42:14Speaker 4: you put her right next to the gun.
- 1:42:17Speaker 9: That that movie is shaping up to be one of
- 1:42:19Speaker 9: the ones with that cast has been leaked so far.
- 1:42:22Speaker 9: With Scar Scar Show, they got uh Winter Soldiers. Now
- 1:42:27Speaker 9: I'm blinking on his name right now, Bucky. They got Bucky.
- 1:42:33Speaker 9: He's paying playing doctor Arka. I believe, uh, this cast
- 1:42:39Speaker 9: is about to be stacked. Oh my god, again the
- 1:42:42Speaker 9: gun don't damp and were getting We get into John
- 1:42:44Speaker 9: Stewart series.
- 1:42:45Speaker 2: Soon, there we go. That's that.
- 1:42:47Speaker 8: Let's bringing Beatle back for actual good movie.
- 1:42:51Speaker 2: Yeah you like the first Blue Beetle? No, what damn,
- 1:42:58Speaker 2: I'm still It's an entertaining film. I liked it.
- 1:43:03Speaker 8: It's fun, it's fun.
- 1:43:05Speaker 2: I'm just glad. I'm just glad it didn't tie into
- 1:43:08Speaker 2: the Snider verse like like that. But for a standalone
- 1:43:13Speaker 2: new character to the general public, it felt, you know what,
- 1:43:18Speaker 2: it felt like. It felt like they were trying. So
- 1:43:23Speaker 2: I don't know how I put this.
- 1:43:26Speaker 9: He is a character who is very deep in his
- 1:43:28Speaker 9: Latino heritage, and I love that it made a part
- 1:43:31Speaker 9: of it. But part of I think, I think, you
- 1:43:34Speaker 9: know what, most of it I think was George because
- 1:43:35Speaker 9: I felt like they made a joke out of that
- 1:43:37Speaker 9: more than respected it in a lot of different instances.
- 1:43:39Speaker 9: And that's only my perspectives. I to speak the actual
- 1:43:41Speaker 9: Latinos to see like how they felt about it, But
- 1:43:43Speaker 9: it felt like they were just making a bunch of
- 1:43:45Speaker 9: like Latino jokes, like ha ha.
- 1:43:49Speaker 2: He's the he's supposed to be the comic relief.
- 1:43:51Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, I'm like, you're making a joke out of
- 1:43:54Speaker 9: the heritage. Then whenever we go to it, I don't know,
- 1:43:57Speaker 9: it felt it felt weird to me. Plus I just
- 1:44:00Speaker 9: biggest George Lopez fan and movie like that.
- 1:44:02Speaker 4: That kind of killed it for a lot of people
- 1:44:04Speaker 4: I know. So that's if it's George, I kind of
- 1:44:06Speaker 4: get it well.
- 1:44:08Speaker 5: As you can see who's on my microphone, so you
- 1:44:10Speaker 5: already know which blue beetle I'm standing for. He's been
- 1:44:14Speaker 5: looking at you outside eye anyway.
- 1:44:15Speaker 8: So you know he's supposed to come back soon.
- 1:44:17Speaker 2: I think.
- 1:44:21Speaker 4: You're gonna see what elements of that even making back
- 1:44:23Speaker 4: into this next film and then hopefully Lanterns. Maybe maybe
- 1:44:27Speaker 4: we see what happened WITHS.
- 1:44:30Speaker 8: To be like a cop noir, like a true detective
- 1:44:32Speaker 8: type of deal to Yeah, I'm.
- 1:44:34Speaker 4: Curious if they end up on planning Paradise and see
- 1:44:37Speaker 4: how John is living out there at all.
- 1:44:40Speaker 5: I'm a thought, I think we can we please get
- 1:44:44Speaker 5: a milestone series like Blood Syndicate.
- 1:44:49Speaker 2: That is that is currently being that you think about
- 1:44:52Speaker 2: with it. I think that I think with d c
- 1:44:54Speaker 2: k O and them reintroducing static into I will I
- 1:45:03Speaker 2: will say dc ko's Big Boss Battle answers a lot
- 1:45:07Speaker 2: of your questions.
- 1:45:08Speaker 5: And I already got that issue. They kind of threw
- 1:45:10Speaker 5: me off when they put a homelander on the front
- 1:45:14Speaker 5: against Superman. I'm just in there laughing at this, trying
- 1:45:18Speaker 5: to suffront.
- 1:45:20Speaker 2: I will say this. Outside of that, maybe I'll almost
- 1:45:24Speaker 2: there say if you go back and look at certain
- 1:45:26Speaker 2: pages your your Blood cynickeate questions, make it answered.
- 1:45:33Speaker 9: So you know, during the Dakota incident on the twenty fifth,
- 1:45:36Speaker 9: they're at leasting the book to kind of explain all that. Yep,
- 1:45:38Speaker 9: what I will say, I got some insider information that's
- 1:45:42Speaker 9: probably obvious information if for keeping the book. If that
- 1:45:45Speaker 9: book does not do well, we are not going to
- 1:45:47Speaker 9: see anything milestone for probably the next two years, just
- 1:45:49Speaker 9: about more than likely, and maybe get like a team book,
- 1:45:53Speaker 9: maybe something. But it feels like DC is trying to
- 1:45:56Speaker 9: kill off Milestones so they can just retain most of
- 1:45:58Speaker 9: the right Worl's characters, or at least like they try
- 1:46:01Speaker 9: to buy a mouth. It never feels like they're trying
- 1:46:03Speaker 9: to actually do anything with them significantly. It just seems
- 1:46:05Speaker 9: like they're just which.
- 1:46:06Speaker 2: Is probably but shout outs with Stephanie Williams is writing it,
- 1:46:10Speaker 2: so I'm expected nothing but stellar.
- 1:46:13Speaker 9: I knew something was I knew something was off, and
- 1:46:15Speaker 9: I saw her and all the other writers and artists
- 1:46:17Speaker 9: promoting it so hard. I'm like, why these writers prooted
- 1:46:20Speaker 9: this book so hard? And that's probably way this don't
- 1:46:22Speaker 9: do well. They're putting this in the in the it.
- 1:46:26Speaker 2: But Batman's Static has been doing great.
- 1:46:28Speaker 5: That's It's a good story.
- 1:46:32Speaker 2: That's the thing. That's why I have hope for it
- 1:46:33Speaker 2: because you because in Static instad it does have Icon
- 1:46:37Speaker 2: and Rocket and Beacon and a few others in there.
- 1:46:40Speaker 2: So I'm like people have been asking Gun has kind
- 1:46:43Speaker 2: of been teasing the fact of it ain't. It's like,
- 1:46:46Speaker 2: if it was up to me, it would be back,
- 1:46:49Speaker 2: Milestone would be back, no problem. It was his hands
- 1:46:51Speaker 2: were tied, right because he can't say what he wants
- 1:46:54Speaker 2: to say.
- 1:46:55Speaker 9: I mean as well, they don't market it, and I
- 1:46:58Speaker 9: spoke about this a little bit earlier. They don't then,
- 1:47:01Speaker 9: and Marvel don't do a good job of educating comic
- 1:47:03Speaker 9: book fans to understand how they need to properly support
- 1:47:06Speaker 9: a series, because I think a lot of fans still
- 1:47:09Speaker 9: have the ideal that if I go into a common
- 1:47:11Speaker 9: shop and buy fifteen copies of this thing off the wall,
- 1:47:13Speaker 9: then DC knows that I want to see more of it,
- 1:47:15Speaker 9: when that's not how that works. They don't tell them
- 1:47:17Speaker 9: about pre orders and final cutoff days or pullboxes, the
- 1:47:21Speaker 9: fact that if you don't pre order your book, then
- 1:47:23Speaker 9: your shop's only going to order a limited amount based
- 1:47:25Speaker 9: on what they believe they can sell, which lets DC know, oh,
- 1:47:28Speaker 9: there's not a lot of interest in it because these
- 1:47:29Speaker 9: shops aren't buying a lot of it, so people. I
- 1:47:32Speaker 9: think it was the Static compendium that went all right.
- 1:47:34Speaker 9: One of the sweet and Static was they were in
- 1:47:36Speaker 9: Draper Ivy's like DMS asked me, when's the next thing coming?
- 1:47:38Speaker 8: I wanted to it got canceled because you didn't buy it,
- 1:47:40Speaker 8: got in pre ordering. You're seeing it way after the fact.
- 1:47:44Speaker 2: All I gotta say is I blame the New fifty
- 1:47:46Speaker 2: two for that. Yeah, the New fifty two was the
- 1:47:49Speaker 2: catalyst to why that, to why a lot of lives
- 1:47:52Speaker 2: got killed?
- 1:47:53Speaker 4: Mean, a lot of New fifty two has been dead
- 1:47:55Speaker 4: for a decade, and we still have been like referencing
- 1:47:57Speaker 4: that shit in every animated movie, Like we can't fig
- 1:48:00Speaker 4: at this point, you'll might as well just like go
- 1:48:03Speaker 4: go ahead and get them Snyder Bucks and just make
- 1:48:05Speaker 4: it all the cartoons. Y'all seem to not know what
- 1:48:07Speaker 4: the hell else, like doc Apocalypse, War did not need
- 1:48:11Speaker 4: to happen, And we keep coming back.
- 1:48:12Speaker 2: To that ship every freaking time.
- 1:48:16Speaker 4: Like we like, honestly that that crisis series that could
- 1:48:19Speaker 4: have been like a twenty four episode season Justice League,
- 1:48:24Speaker 4: the think Tank.
- 1:48:25Speaker 2: Fine, Like, I will tell you that. And I know
- 1:48:29Speaker 2: maybe in Spartan to can back me up. I have
- 1:48:32Speaker 2: seen more than my fair share of crises.
- 1:48:35Speaker 5: Oh my god, every level of crisis.
- 1:48:37Speaker 2: I'm like, another crisis, are we running out of things?
- 1:48:43Speaker 5: Have something?
- 1:48:43Speaker 2: Like my god, at this point, can we stopped calling
- 1:48:46Speaker 2: it crisis? Just called therapy?
- 1:48:49Speaker 4: Well, apparently apparently this has all just been a long
- 1:48:52Speaker 4: John Constantine story. So because the flashpoint happened the first time,
- 1:48:59Speaker 4: and all you had to do was tell this man
- 1:49:00Speaker 4: and never y'all like never bumped shoulders in the hallway.
- 1:49:03Speaker 2: Nothing.
- 1:49:04Speaker 4: And then we find out, oh he calls all this
- 1:49:06Speaker 4: that was the reason where we all died, the earth
- 1:49:09Speaker 4: is dooming do it again, and that becomes like the
- 1:49:12Speaker 4: point in like the next ten minutes. Then we get
- 1:49:14Speaker 4: the Constantine's hell house or something. All of the find
- 1:49:18Speaker 4: out that was him.
- 1:49:20Speaker 2: Or that was the specter.
- 1:49:21Speaker 4: Attempting to make him sit out crisis, and he's like, well,
- 1:49:24Speaker 4: since you can't sit down somewhere, go have fun with that,
- 1:49:27Speaker 4: only for him to get only for him to get
- 1:49:28Speaker 4: lost for like what a couple more centuries and then
- 1:49:32Speaker 4: wander around dimensions multiple dimensions is like this homeless man
- 1:49:37Speaker 4: and then he shaves his beard. It's like, oh shit,
- 1:49:38Speaker 4: it's been John this whole time. And then again the
- 1:49:41Speaker 4: magical like et touch and it's like right you, you
- 1:49:45Speaker 4: just keep sucking everything up, like don't like there.
- 1:49:49Speaker 2: I come right there.
- 1:49:50Speaker 8: Get is an Icon movie, but we're doing this coming hit.
- 1:49:53Speaker 4: I think we had icon I think we had about
- 1:49:54Speaker 4: fifty icons, and some of them just chose to go
- 1:49:56Speaker 4: and die with the earth. And now we just have
- 1:49:59Speaker 4: I guess one super Earth with everybody on it, which
- 1:50:02Speaker 4: it feels like what we're going to get up to doomsday.
- 1:50:07Speaker 2: And this is what we do, This is why we're here,
- 1:50:09Speaker 2: he said, stop looking at the big two. People got
- 1:50:12Speaker 2: to start looking back at black organizations in America, from bankers, economists, physicists, events.
- 1:50:18Speaker 2: This is marketed to black people than everyone else after
- 1:50:22Speaker 2: and I agree there is.
- 1:50:23Speaker 9: So I had a stream recently, and there's a concept
- 1:50:26Speaker 9: in why I think this is. I'm not going to
- 1:50:29Speaker 9: say in a possible fightle What makes it so difficult
- 1:50:32Speaker 9: is that first and foremost you have to understand that.
- 1:50:36Speaker 9: And something I didn't really understand when I first got
- 1:50:38Speaker 9: into the nerds space is that we're out numbered. We're
- 1:50:41Speaker 9: still a minority in the country, but we're for sure
- 1:50:43Speaker 9: a minority. In the nerds space is majority white men
- 1:50:46Speaker 9: that are going to dictate what gets pushed out.
- 1:50:48Speaker 2: They have more money to dictate that.
- 1:50:50Speaker 8: And then we have the other side of that battle
- 1:50:51Speaker 8: to where you have a bunch of negroes.
- 1:50:54Speaker 9: We'll just take negroes like the better term that have
- 1:50:56Speaker 9: default whiteness and a lot of a lot of so
- 1:51:00Speaker 9: internalized hatred to where they inherently believe anything black centered
- 1:51:03Speaker 9: or black written is inferior from that standpoint, So they're
- 1:51:05Speaker 9: gonna go by fifteen different Spider Man runs or Batman runs,
- 1:51:09Speaker 9: and I care to.
- 1:51:09Speaker 2: Pick up roots of madness or bitter root or whatever.
- 1:51:11Speaker 9: It may be. So it's like you, we have like
- 1:51:14Speaker 9: this small minority of us screaming and fighting and putting
- 1:51:17Speaker 9: money into it. And in order for this to go,
- 1:51:19Speaker 9: we have to convince the white people as well to
- 1:51:21Speaker 9: purchase this book, to get them to at least for
- 1:51:24Speaker 9: the Big two. They feel like it's worthy enough for
- 1:51:26Speaker 9: that because it's a uphill battle you're going to always fight,
- 1:51:29Speaker 9: because you're fighting a battle of the inherent the fight
- 1:51:32Speaker 9: whiteness and the racism, and then people on your own
- 1:51:34Speaker 9: side having a lot of self internalized hate.
- 1:51:36Speaker 2: So it's tough. Yeah, I get to know exactly mean
- 1:51:40Speaker 2: people say, do you reading? Yeah, plenty of black lead
- 1:51:45Speaker 2: indie stuff.
- 1:51:46Speaker 4: I do.
- 1:51:48Speaker 2: We didn't have a lot of this stuff thirty years ago,
- 1:51:51Speaker 2: you know, So yeah, of course I'm going to say,
- 1:51:53Speaker 2: who's your favorite character? Will it's black Panther. It was
- 1:51:55Speaker 2: created by the white man's black panther. Mm hmm, it's
- 1:51:58Speaker 2: Luke ca just miss the Night Vixen's it's Sam Wilson
- 1:52:02Speaker 2: right now, it's these, but I look at who's writing
- 1:52:06Speaker 2: these characters as well, which also helps, you know. And
- 1:52:11Speaker 2: then as far as the indie stuff that's always gonna
- 1:52:14Speaker 2: that always gives my pocket, that always gives my pocket,
- 1:52:18Speaker 2: Like even if that little bit helps, that always gives
- 1:52:22Speaker 2: my pocket, because those are stories that don't get talked
- 1:52:25Speaker 2: about enough. Because it's like, hey, if you want something fresh,
- 1:52:28Speaker 2: something new, check this out. Check out where Comics. Check
- 1:52:33Speaker 2: out stuff by by Ignition Pressing, and Stephanie Williams check
- 1:52:36Speaker 2: out check out Midnight Comics. Check out all these There
- 1:52:38Speaker 2: are so many independent black Man comic book companies that
- 1:52:44Speaker 2: are putting out really good stuff.
- 1:52:46Speaker 9: Mm hmm, it's insane. There's a comment to I wanted
- 1:52:50Speaker 9: to come us a question. Y'alls, well, I don't want
- 1:52:52Speaker 9: to hijack the show. I know he's he see Centers
- 1:52:57Speaker 9: being brought up. Centers is very interesting because I think
- 1:53:01Speaker 9: I think it's an outlier from the aspect that that
- 1:53:03Speaker 9: you have to we'll say hype beasts for lack of
- 1:53:07Speaker 9: a better term, and Ryan Coogler and Michael B.
- 1:53:11Speaker 2: Jordan where they're gonna.
- 1:53:12Speaker 9: They have for a while dominated the crossover charge when
- 1:53:15Speaker 9: you're looking at Black Panther or you're looking at and
- 1:53:18Speaker 9: the stuff that Michael be Jordan has been in. And
- 1:53:19Speaker 9: I also think it's the storm that we can I
- 1:53:22Speaker 9: think we can recreate the Center's effect if we get
- 1:53:25Speaker 9: black people on board. I think the thing with that
- 1:53:27Speaker 9: that was really beautiful was that word to mid for
- 1:53:31Speaker 9: that was so strong. Black folks got around that so
- 1:53:34Speaker 9: much to all the white people are like, what's going
- 1:53:35Speaker 9: on in here? Which'all know what you're doing. You to
- 1:53:37Speaker 9: see what's going on over here too. So then now
- 1:53:40Speaker 9: everybody's going to see this film and it becomes a
- 1:53:41Speaker 9: cultural phenomenon. But that's because black folks got together unanimously.
- 1:53:45Speaker 9: It felt like to at bare minimum, go watch this film. Now,
- 1:53:48Speaker 9: you had some people that you know, critiqued it and
- 1:53:50Speaker 9: had some bs naratives around calling it from deustal down,
- 1:53:54Speaker 9: uh spend or whatever. It may be a lot of
- 1:53:55Speaker 9: the bad takes, but people would have saw it. You
- 1:53:58Speaker 9: spend money to go see and support this thing. The
- 1:54:00Speaker 9: money reflected that. So that's how you end up getting
- 1:54:02Speaker 9: it put back in theater. So long the difficulty that
- 1:54:05Speaker 9: you have with comics is that you're not You're not
- 1:54:07Speaker 9: going to have too many instances where people would just
- 1:54:08Speaker 9: buy it, even if they want a critique it. They'll
- 1:54:11Speaker 9: watch We'll say comics Explained or whoever else review this book,
- 1:54:16Speaker 9: and then they'll feel like they know every they need
- 1:54:18Speaker 9: to know about it versus reading it themselves.
- 1:54:20Speaker 2: And those are the ones, and that translates, yeah, those
- 1:54:25Speaker 2: are the ones. And mind you people, we are the
- 1:54:29Speaker 2: crew that said, go watch the Marvels. It's good, it's fun.
- 1:54:34Speaker 2: It doesn't have to tie into the rest of the MCU.
- 1:54:37Speaker 2: It's dealing with these three women and a certain adventure
- 1:54:41Speaker 2: that they go on and they walk away, and the
- 1:54:43Speaker 2: first thing they say is like, oh it's trailer alone.
- 1:54:46Speaker 2: Oh it's stupid. This looks stupid. Off the trailer with
- 1:54:51Speaker 2: Beastie boys play. They didn't think it's stupid. And then Twitter,
- 1:54:57Speaker 2: Oh that wasn't that was a shit storm. They was.
- 1:55:01Speaker 4: They were sitting near the constant for failure and her
- 1:55:03Speaker 4: job was already done. But now they all love her
- 1:55:05Speaker 4: because the twenty twenty years the Bone Temple is it's
- 1:55:10Speaker 4: doing okay. But like, critically, that film is being praised
- 1:55:14Speaker 4: all over the place and I still need to watch
- 1:55:16Speaker 4: the first time. She's had a great run. But they
- 1:55:21Speaker 4: were just like, yeah, she left the movie. I'm like, yeah,
- 1:55:23Speaker 4: her job is done. She's not supposed to be around
- 1:55:25Speaker 4: for posts editing.
- 1:55:26Speaker 2: Why y'all she didn't think, yeah, she's on another job.
- 1:55:30Speaker 2: It was.
- 1:55:32Speaker 8: I think was pretty larger than people hate for Captain Marvel.
- 1:55:35Speaker 2: I think she was in the movie.
- 1:55:36Speaker 4: People I've been saying, this is the first movie she
- 1:55:39Speaker 4: never made them three tweets, this ship never would have happened.
- 1:55:42Speaker 2: Yeah, it was whooped.
- 1:55:46Speaker 4: It was literally the three tweets she fired off and
- 1:55:48Speaker 4: that was it.
- 1:55:49Speaker 2: Then she she she basically was like girl power, this
- 1:55:52Speaker 2: is the thing for the ladies, blah blah blah. And
- 1:55:54Speaker 2: it was just like, wyo, and.
- 1:55:59Speaker 4: Once I don't I don't want to hear what men
- 1:56:00Speaker 4: think women to it, Like, I get what you're doing.
- 1:56:03Speaker 4: It's not gonna work out the way you wanted to.
- 1:56:05Speaker 8: I don't think you understand your audience base, right.
- 1:56:08Speaker 2: I was like, because your audience, your audience face is
- 1:56:13Speaker 2: And they all came out raided, complain that's like, but
- 1:56:17Speaker 2: they also but they also knew who not to come for.
- 1:56:22Speaker 2: Oh no, they weren't for they didn't. They didn't come
- 1:56:24Speaker 2: for Tanna Pearis's character as Monica, and they didn't come
- 1:56:27Speaker 2: for Marvelani's characters Miss Marble. They knew who to go for,
- 1:56:32Speaker 2: and they did not go for those two women. They knew.
- 1:56:36Speaker 8: Parv it too, don't.
- 1:56:37Speaker 9: I don't know if y'all read Civil War two, but
- 1:56:39Speaker 9: that was the start of a lot of it is
- 1:56:40Speaker 9: that people hated Captain Marble after Civil War too, because
- 1:56:42Speaker 9: the character assassinated her. They tried so hard to give
- 1:56:45Speaker 9: her better pr in books leading up to that first
- 1:56:47Speaker 9: Captain Marble movie, but it was just not working.
- 1:56:50Speaker 8: But granted to your point, the insult things.
- 1:56:52Speaker 9: I have asked a lot of people like what would
- 1:56:53Speaker 9: y'all do or would you need to rehab her pr
- 1:56:57Speaker 9: PR and a lot of oh, let's go back to
- 1:56:58Speaker 9: the Miss Marble cost still okay, So for you.
- 1:57:02Speaker 8: To rehab her, you need her to be in thighighs
- 1:57:04Speaker 8: and a bodysuit. Got you understood, And.
- 1:57:09Speaker 2: All of a sudden, all is forgiven because now they
- 1:57:11Speaker 2: have their image.
- 1:57:14Speaker 4: Yeah, there's plenty of stuff out there that just I
- 1:57:17Speaker 4: think word of mouth helped on Sinners a lot. And
- 1:57:19Speaker 4: then again, well we also everybody had extra money in
- 1:57:22Speaker 4: their pocket because we stopped shopping at a certain place
- 1:57:24Speaker 4: a month beforehand. So economy it was a movie. Yeah,
- 1:57:30Speaker 4: piod economics coming full circle there.
- 1:57:32Speaker 2: And then you had you had black people dancing the
- 1:57:35Speaker 2: Irish jigs they had never heard before. You know the
- 1:57:39Speaker 2: level of do you know the level of how many
- 1:57:41Speaker 2: people were looking up from Dublin to Rocky Road and
- 1:57:45Speaker 2: learn the lyrics just to get the dance.
- 1:57:48Speaker 9: And then you had a fire movie, and then everybody
- 1:57:51Speaker 9: became a cinematographer overnight. Everybody just do everything all shot
- 1:57:54Speaker 9: would not.
- 1:57:55Speaker 4: I have not stopped hearing I've never heard the term
- 1:57:58Speaker 4: second week drop off until Ariety put off of that
- 1:58:01Speaker 4: uh that article that ship gets used for everything? What's
- 1:58:05Speaker 4: the second we drunk off? Gonna be like, I'm like,
- 1:58:07Speaker 4: y'all didn't y'all learn new words and just bastardized I want,
- 1:58:12Speaker 4: I want, I'm reclaiming. Oh, y'all don't use the ship right.
- 1:58:15Speaker 2: They gave it a whole different meaning. I'm like, apparently
- 1:58:18Speaker 2: lame now, I mean as lame, like uncool. I'm like,
- 1:58:22Speaker 2: where the hell they try to downplay centers so so much?
- 1:58:25Speaker 2: And then that one Mary Supreme movie came out. It
- 1:58:29Speaker 2: is eye opening, sir. This movie is hot garbage and
- 1:58:32Speaker 2: you just don't want to give black people they do.
- 1:58:34Speaker 2: This movie barely been out. What are you talking about?
- 1:58:37Speaker 8: I will say.
- 1:58:39Speaker 2: I will say.
- 1:58:39Speaker 9: What made it really tough for me is I adore
- 1:58:42Speaker 9: that movie, Mary Supreme. I love that movie, but it's
- 1:58:45Speaker 9: not better than Centers. And what hurt me is like,
- 1:58:49Speaker 9: why is this even in the conversation this movie become
- 1:58:51Speaker 9: at the very end of the year, why is it
- 1:58:53Speaker 9: in with Centner? Why are you Because I told somebody
- 1:58:57Speaker 9: I told my home wasn't on her on our pod.
- 1:58:59Speaker 9: I was like, I know for a fact that they're
- 1:59:02Speaker 9: going to try to put something in here to compete
- 1:59:04Speaker 9: with Centers. There's no like Oscar. There's no white Oscar
- 1:59:07Speaker 9: bait that's come out yet. Right, And because knew they
- 1:59:10Speaker 9: were gonna give the horror, because you could arguably put
- 1:59:12Speaker 9: the one battle out there another in that conversation if
- 1:59:14Speaker 9: you wanted to, it.
- 1:59:15Speaker 2: Was gonna be right.
- 1:59:16Speaker 9: But it's horror, and it's also got a black character,
- 1:59:19Speaker 9: David Johnson significant the film. So they're not gonna do that.
- 1:59:21Speaker 9: They can't white. It's gonna be white and white, white, white,
- 1:59:24Speaker 9: white white, right. So when I saw one battle out
- 1:59:26Speaker 9: there another I'm like, that's the one that's gonna be
- 1:59:28Speaker 9: the LEO, that's the one. And then the Supreme draw
- 1:59:31Speaker 9: at the end of the year. I'm like, oh they
- 1:59:33Speaker 9: got another one. I'm just like, you know what they
- 1:59:34Speaker 9: about to try to hold center because I already known.
- 1:59:37Speaker 4: Be a lot of these movies had black actors in
- 1:59:39Speaker 4: there that we could have been made them more appealing
- 1:59:42Speaker 4: if they played the pitch because f one, I think
- 1:59:44Speaker 4: it was a fantastic film. Ye, It's crazy how damns
- 1:59:48Speaker 4: an interest is on none of the posters, but his character.
- 1:59:51Speaker 4: It's his character story, and how Brad Pitt is basically.
- 1:59:56Speaker 2: The second He's the second fiddle for that Brad.
- 2:00:00Speaker 4: It is just the O G giving him the alley.
- 2:00:02Speaker 4: This is rocket geam, this is rocket, this is Rocket G.
- 2:00:05Speaker 2: And I g p X coming out of.
- 2:00:07Speaker 4: Retirement when Liz got hurt for a little bit, like
- 2:00:11Speaker 4: uh and but you look at it's just Brad Pitt
- 2:00:13Speaker 4: up there doing the super I'm like what And I'm like,
- 2:00:16Speaker 4: they don't say about it. I'm like, I'm And also
- 2:00:19Speaker 4: that odd future golf wing click will will buy crack
- 2:00:23Speaker 4: if you put their label on it. Like so the
- 2:00:25Speaker 4: fact that like they didn't point out that Tyler was
- 2:00:28Speaker 4: in that movie until like a week or two, I
- 2:00:31Speaker 4: was like, you know, like just that is a cult fandom.
- 2:00:35Speaker 4: I'm talking everybody from Tyler and Frank Ocean who was
- 2:00:37Speaker 4: just missing at this point, would have bought tickets to
- 2:00:39Speaker 4: go see Marty Supreme. I heard he's in there for
- 2:00:43Speaker 4: a very short.
- 2:00:44Speaker 8: Time, but I heard he's like good, He's got good, like.
- 2:00:49Speaker 2: Thirty minutes.
- 2:00:49Speaker 8: He Honestly, I was surprised. I mean, I don't know
- 2:00:51Speaker 8: he can act that well.
- 2:00:52Speaker 2: He did good.
- 2:00:53Speaker 4: He has like a very small stint in a Jim
- 2:00:55Speaker 4: Carrey movie that he actually does very good in. But
- 2:00:57Speaker 4: I'm like, I wish I thought.
- 2:00:59Speaker 2: He asked me as Chala man Chalame. Yeah, he actually
- 2:01:05Speaker 2: was on stage somewhere and he was talking about how
- 2:01:08Speaker 2: he he wants to perfect his craft. He's looking at
- 2:01:13Speaker 2: other actors, Demiro Patino, Dicapter because he is the he
- 2:01:16Speaker 2: is part of that next round of young actors that's
- 2:01:20Speaker 2: coming up. So his head is in the game. Yeah,
- 2:01:23Speaker 2: his head is definitely in the game.
- 2:01:25Speaker 8: He a box office hit. I didn't I made it.
- 2:01:27Speaker 9: I'm again, I did a stream where I was with
- 2:01:29Speaker 9: in my top ten of the year to movies, and
- 2:01:31Speaker 9: I was like, hey, bro, I don't even know it's
- 2:01:32Speaker 9: Timothy Shaman even selling selling movies like that.
- 2:01:35Speaker 2: Brother.
- 2:01:35Speaker 8: I looked at that Wonka movie and how much money
- 2:01:37Speaker 8: that Wonka movie made? When did this make this much money?
- 2:01:43Speaker 2: But it was. It was very low It was very
- 2:01:46Speaker 2: low key popular, and I'm like, oh, because when it
- 2:01:51Speaker 2: finally came on and I checked it out, I'm like,
- 2:01:54Speaker 2: not bad. It's like six hundred million or something like that.
- 2:01:56Speaker 2: It had crazy numbers, but I was like, damn, even
- 2:02:01Speaker 2: even with.
- 2:02:01Speaker 4: Marty Supreme, I'm hearing that this is the same dude
- 2:02:03Speaker 4: who to Uncut Jims. So it's literally uncut Gems just
- 2:02:07Speaker 4: redone as a ping pong movie, and I'm like, I
- 2:02:11Speaker 4: feel like they're trying to get this out in time
- 2:02:13Speaker 4: for it to be nomination worthy, because that's kind of
- 2:02:17Speaker 4: how I feel about this movie. I just got invited
- 2:02:19Speaker 4: to that they called Scarlett. It looks pretty. That's about
- 2:02:23Speaker 4: the most I can say about it. Like, I'm glad
- 2:02:26Speaker 4: Sony's mixing it up and trying stuff with animation, but hot,
- 2:02:29Speaker 4: damn man, what what that you maybe could have been
- 2:02:32Speaker 4: a serious But.
- 2:02:35Speaker 8: Again that's for hers is that the movies were good.
- 2:02:37Speaker 9: Like I genuinely set a tier at the end of
- 2:02:39Speaker 9: mart the Supreme, like I got a single, It got
- 2:02:41Speaker 9: a crocodile t out of me at the end, and
- 2:02:43Speaker 9: then one baut out to know that was pretty good.
- 2:02:45Speaker 8: But you can question how much to how much they
- 2:02:47Speaker 8: like black women in that movie.
- 2:02:49Speaker 4: But it's like getting here in that conversation, either people
- 2:02:52Speaker 4: either love it or hate the representation in that film.
- 2:02:54Speaker 9: Like Tianna Taylor does a great job, but honestly, my
- 2:03:00Speaker 9: issue isn't her character. It's another character in there that
- 2:03:02Speaker 9: I can't say the name of out probably getting your
- 2:03:04Speaker 9: ship clapped. But I'm just like, Okay, why is this
- 2:03:10Speaker 9: woman speaking in jive almost? Why is she acting in
- 2:03:12Speaker 9: this manner? What are we what are we doing here?
- 2:03:15Speaker 9: We're hyper sexualizing these black men in this film?
- 2:03:17Speaker 2: Why I heard that? That's the conversation.
- 2:03:20Speaker 4: That's what I kind of liked about Sinners on first watch.
- 2:03:22Speaker 4: I'm like, everybody was kind of having a fun, but
- 2:03:24Speaker 4: nobody was just like stripped and throwing in front of
- 2:03:26Speaker 4: the camera. It was it was tastefully done.
- 2:03:28Speaker 2: Like everybody was horny.
- 2:03:31Speaker 4: Everybody was horny, but you see the women, all the
- 2:03:34Speaker 4: women outside of like Sammy, the women kind of took
- 2:03:37Speaker 4: yaw like like like smoke smoke folded like a wet napkin.
- 2:03:42Speaker 4: After them kids left the road, and I was like, yeah,
- 2:03:46Speaker 4: I kind of appreciate the fact that it was done tastefully,
- 2:03:49Speaker 4: but I'm like, folks supported that, and then we came back.
- 2:03:52Speaker 4: Because I can find anything that's cool and black and
- 2:03:54Speaker 4: not loud enough, I'm just gonna be very annoying. So
- 2:03:57Speaker 4: when I that came out, but then South of Midnight
- 2:03:59Speaker 4: came out like the same month, so I was like, yeah,
- 2:04:03Speaker 4: y'all need to go watch this and play this or
- 2:04:05Speaker 4: play this and watch that. And then the people up
- 2:04:07Speaker 4: from the game saw it was like, yeah, please feel
- 2:04:10Speaker 4: free to watch Sinners, and they also please can play
- 2:04:12Speaker 4: our game if y'all want more gothic. And then you
- 2:04:15Speaker 4: got other stuff out there like Vigilante by Wes Armstrong
- 2:04:20Speaker 4: Tenant of the Spark. I've been waiting for like four
- 2:04:22Speaker 4: years now.
- 2:04:23Speaker 8: Uh, did y'all did y'all watch Predator Balance?
- 2:04:26Speaker 2: Yes? Yes, yes, I watched that. Gonna be three times
- 2:04:29Speaker 2: co theater. It's good. I never thought it would be.
- 2:04:33Speaker 2: I never thought about telling talking about a Predator film
- 2:04:37Speaker 2: from that viewpoint that's wanted for years. Yeah, I'm like, no,
- 2:04:42Speaker 2: this is actually cool. Never thought about this. This is
- 2:04:45Speaker 2: tically cool.
- 2:04:47Speaker 8: David Trattenberg's last name.
- 2:04:48Speaker 9: But yeah, she has the reins of that of the
- 2:04:51Speaker 9: Predator verse right now, and they we may actually get
- 2:04:53Speaker 9: a good Predator versus alien movie.
- 2:04:55Speaker 8: We actually get a good one.
- 2:04:56Speaker 2: Man.
- 2:04:58Speaker 4: I'm hoping one of them shows up for potentially season
- 2:05:03Speaker 4: two of Alien Earth, just because that whole scenario they're
- 2:05:07Speaker 4: setting up for season two is a predator's playground, literally,
- 2:05:10Speaker 4: like you have synthetics, you have Xeno horse, you have
- 2:05:13Speaker 4: a baby Zeno war, if you got a teenage Zeno morph,
- 2:05:16Speaker 4: a group of hunters getting ready to come in. This
- 2:05:18Speaker 4: is literally like candy.
- 2:05:19Speaker 2: Land for you. Yeah, what's that?
- 2:05:21Speaker 8: What's that secoon of meme where you got the hands.
- 2:05:22Speaker 4: Like this, and all communications are jams so nobody can
- 2:05:28Speaker 4: call in or out for help like.
- 2:05:29Speaker 2: All your right, nothing. It's a breeding ground for a
- 2:05:33Speaker 2: good hunt, and Predator's bad Lands will be coming to uh,
- 2:05:37Speaker 2: the Great Mouse or I should say the third right
- 2:05:39Speaker 2: Disney will be coming. That's funny. Next week or so
- 2:05:45Speaker 2: Predator's bad Land is gonna be streaming for all those
- 2:05:47Speaker 2: that missed it. But let's be honest, Disney owns everything. Man.
- 2:05:51Speaker 8: We gotta we gotta start support step in theaters.
- 2:05:53Speaker 2: Man.
- 2:05:53Speaker 8: I will seriously, seriously encourage people to start. And it's
- 2:05:57Speaker 8: something I did.
- 2:05:58Speaker 9: Granted I did a lot because I used to live
- 2:06:01Speaker 9: like directly next door to a theater. But most of
- 2:06:04Speaker 9: the bigger theaters that I have the AMC stuff stuff,
- 2:06:06Speaker 9: they have regal C. There's a lot of memberships, so
- 2:06:08Speaker 9: you can see movies for the cheap. Just starting, you
- 2:06:12Speaker 9: can see a trailer or maybe not see eachil. Let's
- 2:06:13Speaker 9: go see stuff at random, like to see something and
- 2:06:16Speaker 9: see he enjoyed, because you'll be surprised. I saw was
- 2:06:19Speaker 9: the Jennifer Lawrence rom com that came out like two
- 2:06:21Speaker 9: years ago.
- 2:06:24Speaker 2: Like that.
- 2:06:24Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, Normally this would be nothing I would give
- 2:06:27Speaker 9: a chance to. But I literally watched every single thing
- 2:06:30Speaker 9: that was in theaters throughout that week.
- 2:06:32Speaker 2: Something.
- 2:06:32Speaker 8: It is the last thing I haven't seen. I'll give
- 2:06:34Speaker 8: it a shot.
- 2:06:36Speaker 2: The theater. The theater experience is something because even my
- 2:06:39Speaker 2: wife said, she's like, why are you like going to
- 2:06:40Speaker 2: movie theaters? I said, my mother used to take me
- 2:06:42Speaker 2: to the movie theaters and when her and my parents
- 2:06:44Speaker 2: were when her and my father was together, it was
- 2:06:47Speaker 2: the drive in theater, you know, so just going to
- 2:06:49Speaker 2: the movie theaters. And when I tell you, there was
- 2:06:52Speaker 2: a point in my life that I'm like, how did
- 2:06:55Speaker 2: I watch three movies at the same damn time? I
- 2:06:59Speaker 2: don't know. That's a drive in theater will have you
- 2:07:02Speaker 2: looking at Terminator too, and then Oscar on the other side,
- 2:07:06Speaker 2: and I can somehow you know how well we had it? Yeah, I.
- 2:07:15Speaker 5: Super Fly on one screen, then you had Mother Jugs
- 2:07:18Speaker 5: and Speed on another screen, and then you had Cleai
- 2:07:20Speaker 5: Patrick Jones. Bruh.
- 2:07:23Speaker 2: I learned how to read lips at that time. I
- 2:07:27Speaker 2: really did like watching. I'm like, oh, there's enough speakers.
- 2:07:30Speaker 2: I can pick up certain sounds. I'm watching this. I'm
- 2:07:34Speaker 2: catching this. I don't know how I'm doing it, but
- 2:07:37Speaker 2: it's happening. And yeah, I was.
- 2:07:43Speaker 8: No I finished because I was.
- 2:07:46Speaker 2: I was have a big back moment, I said. The
- 2:07:48Speaker 2: only reason I said, between the theater it was a snacks,
- 2:07:50Speaker 2: it was a food. You had food, You literally had food.
- 2:07:54Speaker 2: That was the whole thing for me. And drive in
- 2:07:55Speaker 2: is you can actually warm up. You can walk out
- 2:07:58Speaker 2: with a steak. You can walk out with wings, barbecue,
- 2:08:01Speaker 2: port chops. If the if the right, if the well,
- 2:08:06Speaker 2: I been thinking it's back. There was food trucks. About
- 2:08:09Speaker 2: food trucks. I meant old boy with a fifty foot
- 2:08:11Speaker 2: trailer in like six pits. Yes, what you see now,
- 2:08:17Speaker 2: I didn't.
- 2:08:18Speaker 9: I did a stream recently where we were showcasing like
- 2:08:21Speaker 9: because everybody says some movies are dead, there was I
- 2:08:24Speaker 9: can't remember the percentage. I had to look back at it.
- 2:08:26Speaker 9: There's like a twenty five percent thirty five percent boom
- 2:08:29Speaker 9: from people that were movie going in twenty twenty three
- 2:08:33Speaker 9: to twenty twenty I think four or five last year.
- 2:08:37Speaker 9: And we're seeing that the majority of the movie going
- 2:08:40Speaker 9: now is gen Z. And you're starting to see that
- 2:08:43Speaker 9: a lot more theaters are changing and renovating their theaters
- 2:08:46Speaker 9: to accommodate what gen Z likes, so that adding in bigger,
- 2:08:50Speaker 9: more comfortable seating.
- 2:08:51Speaker 8: You're starting to see more dining. Theaters serve stuff.
- 2:08:53Speaker 9: Besides this popcorn, and are getting to a lot of
- 2:08:55Speaker 9: that stuff because I think people are understanding a lot
- 2:08:58Speaker 9: more that theaters in the movie theater experienced such a
- 2:09:02Speaker 9: communal aspect, like people have conversations about society, about life,
- 2:09:06Speaker 9: about whatever it is. After watching a movie to the
- 2:09:09Speaker 9: point you start to see Netflix talk about they about
- 2:09:10Speaker 9: to start opening their own China theaters at some point,
- 2:09:12Speaker 9: which I think is why they want to about one
- 2:09:13Speaker 9: of the brothers so bad, because they want to open
- 2:09:14Speaker 9: up their own theaters and have all those movies in
- 2:09:17Speaker 9: their stuff.
- 2:09:18Speaker 5: Netflix, it's your ass now.
- 2:09:19Speaker 2: Lookama said, I still want to know how they snunky
- 2:09:22Speaker 2: and real. Let me tell you Badma. I snucky in
- 2:09:25Speaker 2: a whole I snuck in a whole extra value meal
- 2:09:29Speaker 2: when I went to go see the matrix inside of
- 2:09:30Speaker 2: a leather bomber jacket. Don't ask me how when I
- 2:09:34Speaker 2: pulled it off.
- 2:09:35Speaker 4: I used to work usher at the Dollar Theater and
- 2:09:37Speaker 4: never doubt the power of a woman's purse, because there
- 2:09:39Speaker 4: was just some stuff and like, how did you how
- 2:09:40Speaker 4: did you get this in here? Like not that I
- 2:09:42Speaker 4: was gonna stop you, but I just I didn't see
- 2:09:44Speaker 4: you physically carry it in.
- 2:09:45Speaker 2: That right that part and just going to the movie,
- 2:09:49Speaker 2: just going to a just going to a drive in theater.
- 2:09:51Speaker 2: I remember vividly my mother making a whole batch of
- 2:09:56Speaker 2: chicken wings. When you can really make a batch of
- 2:09:59Speaker 2: chicken wings the on the cheek, just put a little
- 2:10:02Speaker 2: start there and throw them in a brown paper, big
- 2:10:04Speaker 2: old brown paper bag. And I'm like, we hungry. We
- 2:10:08Speaker 2: smelled chicken wings. You know this is for later later
- 2:10:11Speaker 2: win it's like going on seven thirty, which you mean
- 2:10:13Speaker 2: later we're going to the movie there, damn, there could smell.
- 2:10:17Speaker 2: Chrisco slapped it in the bag. Brother went in the
- 2:10:20Speaker 2: trunk because you know, you had to pay by the
- 2:10:22Speaker 2: car load. So high school we would uh.
- 2:10:27Speaker 8: No, there's a there's a taco bell and a dairy
- 2:10:30Speaker 8: clean across from the theater. We would go to a
- 2:10:31Speaker 8: high school.
- 2:10:32Speaker 9: We made it a point that we would wear basketball
- 2:10:34Speaker 9: wear hoops shorts, and then we're paying on top of
- 2:10:36Speaker 9: the hoof shorts and we get our tacos whatever it
- 2:10:39Speaker 9: may be putting inside the shorts and they're walking on
- 2:10:41Speaker 9: in and we got everything, and then we loaded up science.
- 2:10:45Speaker 2: It's a science. Black folks have a science to things.
- 2:10:48Speaker 2: We'll figure it out. Like I'm not paying seven dollars
- 2:10:52Speaker 2: for a pop.
- 2:10:54Speaker 5: It's just funny watching the paper people get shocked when
- 2:10:57Speaker 5: we pull out seven course meals out of my clothes.
- 2:11:01Speaker 2: I got, I got navy, I got one worse. No,
- 2:11:03Speaker 2: you know, the refill, the eight dollars refills, those large popcorns. Yeah,
- 2:11:07Speaker 2: I had seen. And I don't knock this woman at all.
- 2:11:12Speaker 2: This woman literally brought in you know, those one gallon
- 2:11:15Speaker 2: jug water things and people take the gyms and whatnot
- 2:11:17Speaker 2: to you know, keep their walk, you know, be hydrated whatnot.
- 2:11:20Speaker 2: This woman snuck in three of them, sent her children
- 2:11:24Speaker 2: to refill to where all three of them things were
- 2:11:27Speaker 2: filled with drinks, all of them one gallon jugs, mind you,
- 2:11:30Speaker 2: filled with soda. And I was like, and all and
- 2:11:33Speaker 2: all three of her kids, all of them have their
