- 9:46Well, Stephanie, First off, Uh, we're coming off of weekend as
- 9:56I like to like to call it, a weekend of pure were a Black
- 10:00Girl Magic. Uh yeah, you're part of that camp, so USC,
- 10:07WrestleMania, all that Beyonce, n C double A just yeah, things,
- 10:18all the things, all the yeah. It was brought actual happy tears to
- 10:24my eyes. I was talking about. I'm like, look at the look
- 10:28about baby girls. Oh ladies, shove it in their faces, make them
- 10:35eat it. Oh my goodness, Stephanie, I wanted to move. First
- 10:39off, thank you because you worked on one of the few books that I
- 10:45enjoyed, which was Wakanda. So all right, all right, thank you.
- 10:50I actually thank you for enjoying it. If you can't tell, I'm
- 10:54a huge during the trying time, you know, on the run, as
- 10:58he always is, so you know, I understand, like if he just
- 11:03never dissolved that marriage with Storm, He'd be okay if he didn't do that.
- 11:09I'm just saying I'm a big fan of him, always have been.
- 11:11But if you just got his head out his ass on that point, wouldn't
- 11:20It's the one thing him like to child, That's the one thing you did.
- 11:24Drop the ball, my guy. He fumbled hard. He fumbled extremely
- 11:28hard. But you worked on so many projects between Marvel and DC and just
- 11:37everything in between. How does it feel being one of the few black women
- 11:43to work on these major projects and have your voice be heard or your works
- 11:48be seen. Bittersweet because there should be more of us than it shouldn't.
- 11:54That shouldn't be something that you say, right, It's great to take up
- 11:58space and be here working on things that aren't just black characters, which I
- 12:05feel like sometimes we're only called in for that. But uh bittersweet, Uh
- 12:11sweet because I'm able to do this, but better because I would like to
- 12:16share space with other women in this. So that's happening. We got sheriy
- 12:22Lynne Eaton. Uh, she's doing the Black Panther Blood Hunt series that will
- 12:26be out this summer. We've got eve Ewing taken over exceptional X men.
- 12:33We've we have a lot, could have had m. K. Jamison doing
- 12:37another Green Lantern book, but DC said no to that. But we so
- 12:45sometimes so uh eve viewing who was currently run? Who's current run on Black
- 12:52Panther, which is absolutely amazing, by the way, we love to see.
- 12:56Do you think seeing our voices not just from black women but from the
- 13:00bipop community is most definitely necessary? When you mentioned characters like Nubia, Black
- 13:07Panther, you know, characters that these these characters that's being put up front
- 13:11because we know there were several years ago there was a what if series that
- 13:16was told by about Miles Morales and it was what if Miles Morales was thor
- 13:22and the ooh Jesus vernacular no comment on that, uh the way it went.
- 13:31Uh that is the political plead the fifth for on that one. But
- 13:35yes, I saw that, And all I'll say is that it's not only
- 13:43is it important for us to be like writing and drawing these characters, but
- 13:46editorial too, because you know, uh, comics is a team effort,
- 13:52so we need the representation beyond just the page and beyond the you know,
- 13:58the keyboard and a stylist. Editorial letterers, colorists, all of that is
- 14:05needed. Uh so that you know, maybe that goes a different way,
- 14:13you mean better, you know, just it's what if, so what ifever
- 14:20that other thing. I'm trying to not get you out of a job,
- 14:24I swear to go, I think, and I can agree, because when
- 14:31you have people that just write the character well, then that then you can
- 14:39take the context of a black person wrote this or a white person. It
- 14:43was just the character is written well and that that stands out more than anything.
- 14:46And that's pretty much the end goal I would I would assume is to
- 14:50not have that context of saying or black woman wrote this, or black man
- 14:56wrote this, or a personal color wrote this, because it's the character is
- 14:58just well, as Dond Gregor is. The character is written well enough that
- 15:05you bypass everything else, like this is just a well written story, right,
- 15:09and that's what it That's what it's really all about. Yeah, I
- 15:16mean, you know, written well and then for the cultural nuances that are
- 15:20there, those who get it are going to get it. You know.
- 15:24Recently a Spider Man story I wrote, I have Peter saying forty dollars.
- 15:30Anybody who has seen Baby Boy knows that that is a reference to that,
- 15:33right, But those who don't then they'll just think that he's just a gas
- 15:37by being forty dollars. But yes, I think, I think overall absolutely
- 15:43you want it to be that it's just written well and it doesn't and you're
- 15:48not saying, oh, so and so wrote this, so and so wrote
- 15:52this, but it can be written well and then also have those you know,
- 15:56if you know, you know moments, which is yeah, which is
- 15:58always right to be. I agree that, uh, lady mandelor Hi.
- 16:07Again, I don't know what I can ask you. I don't know.
- 16:15I don't want to get you in trouble or put you in a box,
- 16:18I guess, but I want to know who you would like to write for,
- 16:26say, Storm, and what I would like write for first and foremost
- 16:38whatever invoices are going to be paid. So the second part to that is,
- 16:51I don't know, well my pick of course, yes, Baseline very
- 16:55much self Storm. But there is a wonder Man book that I've been chomping
- 16:59at the bit to what to write for a while now. Maybe it might
- 17:04I don't know, hopefully with the show coming out that that could be something
- 17:07that comes to fruition. But wonder Man is actually at the top of that
- 17:12list. And then over on the DC side, I would love to write
- 17:17Vixen if ever give them the chance, or Plastic Man, so one of
- 17:21the other's interesting. Can I can I ask why why those choices? Why
- 17:26Plastic Man, Well, Vixen because it's Mari, but plastic Man, it's
- 17:32just like such an ignorant power to have, and I would like to I
- 17:37don't know, it's just I love comedy. That's a character that can kind
- 17:41of lean into that full force. I mean, my next pick to that
- 17:45would be Justice League of Antarctica. So, like, all these weird characters
- 17:51have been at the forefront of my mind because of the strange and unsung all
- 17:55stars of the DC Multiverse Multiverse book that I wrote. So like, DC
- 17:59gets very weird, and I'm like, I think I would like to get
- 18:02very weird too with some of these. So Plastic Man is a high on
- 18:04that list. I have been following you religiously. Your Instagram is fucking hilarious,
- 18:14and I know I feel like you tone it down so you don't get
- 18:18in so much trouble. Yes, thank you, yeah, yeah, well
- 18:23please follow this woman and and found DC or Marvel to let her write what
- 18:27she wants to write because she's good at it, and thank you, thank
- 18:37you so much. No, this it's it's it's a breath of fresh air
- 18:41when you see this type of work and and you mentioning Vixen and I'm like,
- 18:47this is that is a good character and lo and behold. Yes,
- 18:49so it's plastic. Man, he's not utilized enough. Look if Bruce Wayne
- 18:56can say he's pretty much a threat. If he just applied himself, so
- 19:02many cool things, so many weird, unnecessary things as well, can be
- 19:07done with him. Yes, he absolutely has. So you know, let's
- 19:12let's build on that. Actually, he would join my pitch for Justice League
- 19:19of Antarctica. He would, he would be welcome on to that team.
- 19:23He would be the only competent hero on the team. But that could make
- 19:27for some fun. I want I would like to see that. In the
- 19:33words of Hone, he I would like to see that. Look this,
- 19:37this man has protected a young black child by swallowing her literally hiding her body
- 19:45inside of his so she couldn't get detected by villains. It's the weirdest thing.
- 19:52It is the weirdest thing, but it worked out. You know,
- 19:56he gets you know he gets not dorm black history man like a very small
- 20:02one. But it's not for that. Oh my goodness, uh coole question.
- 20:11Yes, I was wondering I picked I just want you to know I
- 20:15picked this up solely on the thank you was a woman written book featuring a
- 20:21black woman. DC is not rgery usually my lane, but I was like,
- 20:26I had to get it. I had to pick it up. You.
- 20:29What I wanted to ask you was what kind of advice would you give
- 20:32yourself, your preteen younger self, knowing what you know now about writing and
- 20:37writing for comics. That is a good one, because I'm almost tempted to
- 20:42tell her, like, hey, don't go uh to school for four years
- 20:48thinking that you're going to go to medical school and then spend another seven years
- 20:52in research, because she I did enjoy that part of my life when I
- 20:57was in it. Uh, But I think it would just be to I
- 21:03don't know, like, don't feel so discouraged and don't think that this isn't
- 21:07a possibility because I had no idea back then. Hell, I didn't even
- 21:10know, you know, seven years ago, five years ago, that this
- 21:11would be a possibility to be writing comics and then comics professionally on this scale.
- 21:18He asked me. Now, I still have to pinch myself because I
- 21:22often wonder how am I here? And I know the answer to that,
- 21:27but it's still a you know, how do we get here? But I
- 21:32was just tell her to stay encouraged and to don't be afraid to pick up
- 21:36that pen a little bit sooner than you think you should. Thank you.
- 21:41I like that. I mean, it's I think that's something that we don't
- 21:47see or hear enough, especially in our community. You know, so many
- 21:51obstacles already, and when you have that dream of being an artist, being
- 21:56a writer that works, especially in this medium, and people say, oh,
- 22:03you have to do this first, so you got to do like you
- 22:03said, go to four years to do this or do that, And that's
- 22:08not really the case nowadays. You know. It's more or less like,
- 22:12hey, you have a talent that just needs to be fostered, you know.
- 22:17And I think there's definitely a subtext of people who just say, hey,
- 22:26I don't need to go to this art school and being debt turn her
- 22:33out just to work on a book, because someone just is really one of
- 22:37those things that it's a circumstance right, almost almost serendipitous circumstance that somebody,
- 22:45you know, what that looks good. I might know someone that could use
- 22:48that work, you know, or you know someone that could use that art
- 22:52on a shirt or whatever the case may be. There's like the Prince Mural.
- 22:57I'm pretty sure that person who did the Princes Mural did not go to
- 23:00school for that. They're just good. They're just that good. So those
- 23:08changes are are here now, they're coming. And that's not to say not
- 23:12to go to school if that's what you want to do perfect, but yeah,
- 23:18if it's not necessary, then I will say that. I don't know.
- 23:26When I think about it, I am happy that I had a career
- 23:27a prior on your entire different career prior to jumping into this, because it
- 23:32felt like it prepared me for some stuff that might have caught me off guard.
- 23:37I am no stranger to be in in spaces where there aren't a lot
- 23:41of me. I come from a stum background. So I was working in
- 23:44the labs like every now and again I would see another black woman. Whenever
- 23:48I did, I feel like we were doing the seely hands to each other,
- 23:52because what a rarity. But those but those moments were few and far
- 23:57in between, and spend the same in the space too, So hear me
- 24:04for that. And you know, when you find someone like you know,
- 24:08Sisterhood or just other black creatives, to try to talk to them as much
- 24:14as possible and be in community with them. Also it helped with cons I
- 24:19because i have to deal with doctors all day and I'm dealing with other fellows,
- 24:25researchers and very complicated people sometimes to talk to h and Ever mentions a
- 24:32lot of that is it's not enough that I write for DC, it's not
- 24:34enough that I write for Marvel. And I would never expect anyone to just
- 24:37come to my table simply because of those things. Use that is not indicative
- 24:42of what's in the book or what I've done. So I like to talk
- 24:47to people and tell them, hey, you know, this is my name,
- 24:51this is what I do. Here are some things that you would be
- 24:53interested in, or asking them what they do like and rind of you know,
- 24:57kind of giving them to sometimes not even in my books. There's been
- 25:02many a times where someone's been around me and uh, they just had a
- 25:06better fit for what that person was looking for, And I was like,
- 25:08but they got it, so please go talk to them. So I don't
- 25:12know, I feel like I don't know if I would have some of those
- 25:14customer service skills that I do now if I didn't, you know, do
- 25:18something totally different. Also, research up a lot, right for Marvel and
- 25:22DC. You know how it is with continuity, So like have an idea
- 25:29of how to attack things and how to research them, and then not just
- 25:33research them to do a copy and paste, but you know, take that
- 25:37information and to still it down to something that you can either you know,
- 25:42reuse, build upon, question test, push all of that. That was
- 25:49extremely helpful, especially with Newbie and the Amazons, because he asked me to
- 25:52write that. I was like, are y'all sure? Because like I really
- 25:56wrote that, Nelse, I wrote like, I've written articles and stuff,
- 26:00but I haven't written that was my first, big, big book. And
- 26:04those are opportunities that are far in between, far and few in between.
- 26:08So that one I felt like I was. I was researching heavy. I
- 26:12almost had a ten hat one, that's how much I was researching. And
- 26:15it wasn't just comics. I read Miller Circe. I was watching the Blood
- 26:23of Zeus. Of all things, I think I watched three hundred randomly Troy,
- 26:30just all these different things. I played uh haities. I just did
- 26:37all these these different things to just kind of, you know, give me
- 26:41in a mindset of thinking of themospare of the gods and how Nubia and these
- 26:45new Amazons could fit into that. So it was a lot. But shout
- 26:48out to Research for helping me with that because I don't know how would it
- 26:52did it? See, She's a treasure trove. Now Mayham question, I
- 27:00want to speak on behalf of all of us still with our nine to fives.
- 27:03You're an inspiration to go from one career into like your your dream career.
- 27:11So thank you for even being here and taking some time with us.
- 27:15And just now you were speaking about the amount of research that went into Nubia
- 27:21specifically, can you talk to us a little bit about from I guess getting
- 27:26an assignment or you have an idea, like what is the process from the
- 27:32idea till we see it on the page, and like how collaborative is all
- 27:37of that? So for do me any Amazons. I co wrote that with
- 27:42Vita a Ella. So with that, Vida was like, hey, you
- 27:48know we're doing this together, but this is very much, so like your
- 27:52thing, so like what do you want to do with Nubia? And from
- 27:56there, you know, I told her that, I mean, I told
- 27:59them that I I wanted to establish that she isn't just the black Diana,
- 28:04she isn't just a black wonder woman, but to have her stand on her
- 28:07own and so folks can think of her as herself and not give value to
- 28:14her based on her proximity to Diana. So for me, that was really
- 28:18getting into who the Amazons were. Relate this message to the editor. They
- 28:23wanted us to switch up her origin story, which I personally didn't have a
- 28:29problem with. That original one has its has its faults and also as pluses.
- 28:37But I like the idea of redoing her origin story, rec con and
- 28:41that and bringing in the cavern of souls. So because the Welles Souls had
- 28:48already been introduced in a book that was previously going on, I think it
- 28:52was Young Diana by Jordie Blair. Uh, that was easy to just kind
- 28:56of suggest and thinking there was that if there was a book too, then
- 29:00we could kind of revisit or I could revisit what her life was before she
- 29:04came through the world to kind of you know, again solidify her in the
- 29:07DC universe. So that was met with open arms. So a lot of
- 29:11the research that I did where Malon Miller's book came into play, Sircy uh,
- 29:18that was just me, you know, trying to read a book that
- 29:21focused on just mainly women interacting with one another's so protagonists, antagonists and everybody
- 29:26in between, because to me, it was important that them Scira in this
- 29:30book knew me, and the Amazon's focused on the Island so that we can
- 29:34get to know these women, because why I care about her being queen if
- 29:38you don't care about the Amazons and you don't care about them a Scira knowing
- 29:44Diana's just that's not enough. So that I think three hundred came into play
- 29:49when I was thinking of just a landishness and then you know, fight choreography
- 29:55and stuff like that. Same thing with Blood of Zeus. It was even
- 29:59watching watching wrestling because Jay quark Hill was I don't know, her body type
- 30:04was making me think of Nubius and just the them, the Amazons in general.
- 30:08So I was like, we gott to fit some wrestling a wrestling move
- 30:11in here. So I felt like everything that I touched from comics to movies
- 30:17to novels, just kind of I absorbed what I could, and then whatever
- 30:22I put out was just me putting my own touch on it so that it
- 30:26felt like something that hopefully felt fresh to old readers and for newer readers,
- 30:34made them want to read comics more like, you don't have to read my
- 30:37stuff anymore. Just go read comics period. Mm hmm too far. So
- 30:45you do the official reviews for Invincible? Now, yes, how did you
- 30:52go about getting that? Because that was luck? Yeah that way. Look,
- 31:02No, that was due to a good friend who was working for Amazon
- 31:07at the time, and like knew that. I was always talking about comics
- 31:11and like you know, doing memes and whatnot on Twitter and just entertaining things
- 31:15like that, and she was like, you know, I think you might
- 31:17good. They're launching, they're trying to build their YouTube. I think you'd
- 31:19be good for that. Put me in contact, and the next thing I
- 31:22knew I was doing that. I think I pitched Superhero Club in two thousand
- 31:27and two. We were on our way from vacation in Virginia Beach and I
- 31:33think I was in the car and I was like, I have an idea.
- 31:37I got superhero shows, so like, let me talk about them,
- 31:40and then they went with it. And here I am getting ready for the
- 31:44boys for please her me. Are they ready? Is the question? Am
- 31:49I ready? I'm not. I gotta read them comics again. I split
- 31:57on a separate timeline from what of the comics I pray, but I have
- 32:01to sometimes I have to do these deep character deep dives, and I think
- 32:06I have two more left that I haven't covered, so to go back.
- 32:09Yeah, we need to talk to las A Lonzo's people, like, look,
- 32:13stop screwing mother's. I swear to god, this man, it's not
- 32:17fair. It's not fair. No, I just know what black nor we
- 32:25did something completely different unless they're about to spin the block on that route because
- 32:30we don't know what. I don't. I have no idea a way into
- 32:37a job. So I'm on the right path, got it reading clubs,
- 32:43So we're all on the right path. Yes, show you you got a
- 32:45question. Hmm, I'm been sitting here trying to think of a question.
- 32:50I'm not gonna lie. I am the least knowledgeable about comics in this room.
- 32:53So so I just got into a K drama. You want to talk
- 32:59about that animate manga. Yes, not just comics. Wait, wait which
- 33:05one? Because I think I get well not the No, I don't well,
- 33:13this might be it could be a one and done. I have no
- 33:15idea, but the Glory Age of four more I'm working with right now.
- 33:19One yes, And she was like, you gotta watch the Ocasian see you
- 33:22might not be working no more. If you this is a bad pick,
- 33:28you enjoy it. Yes, I am on episode ten, so I got
- 33:31six more left? What let's cool? What are you gonna ask? What's
- 33:37it about? Basically this woman saying that she was gonna go full of clips
- 33:44on other people's lives for messing her life up. So it is as as
- 33:53it's on Netflix. Yeah, the Glory, The Glory, Yeah, oh
- 33:58yeah, okay, a couple it's worth it. I got put it on
- 34:05the watch so so so other than the K drama. And so you this
- 34:12meaning you put up go ahead, go ahead before miss Laney. Did you
- 34:16have a question or no? That's what you're talking about? No, no,
- 34:22no, ask it? Ask it? Okay, I mean no,
- 34:25listen, I'm I'm with you that. I also like, I only have
- 34:31time to read a little bit. So the last thing I walk a couple
- 34:36of years ago, but I love the fact that you are, you know,
- 34:42writing for yourself and then also write from mom on DC. I was
- 34:46wondering, if you could create your own character, what would that character be
- 34:51like mm hmmm, Oh, I can't answer that because I'm currently doing it
- 34:58right now, but you will get to her answer this fall. With that,
- 35:06I'm like, Okay, I do have a question now. Actually,
- 35:14so I did look at some of your projects and things that you work on,
- 35:19so your art style. What made you like as a young artist illustrator,
- 35:23et cetera, and and Rider wanted to choose to go the comic route
- 35:28versus like a majority maybe like animation or even anime route, like, because
- 35:35I feel like for comics still even though it's a type of animation, it's
- 35:37a specific kind of illustration still in the same way that anime is not necessarily
- 35:45the same as cartoons. And definitely, so, like, what made you
- 35:49want to go that route specifically? Well, if I could draw, I
- 35:52definitely be trying my best there. But even with that, as far as
- 35:58like, writing, comics is medium that I've always appreciated because it just I
- 36:04don't know, I love how the words and the the images are in concert
- 36:08with one another. They're just like you know, magazines, comics are the
- 36:14type of periodical where you, you know, you can see exactly what the
- 36:16political climate was, what the fashion was, all of these things, and
- 36:21I just I've just always loved that. I love that I can pick a
- 36:25book up from the seventies and see how how much impact Black's ploitation was having
- 36:31on comics and vice versa, because it's a very interesting time or just like
- 36:37the early nineties, and if I open a book and a character finally finds
- 36:40himself and the hood, it's probably because it's the war on drugs. So
- 36:45I don't know, and I'm bringing up really terrible examples, but I bring
- 36:50it up because, like I don't know, Like I don't know, comics
- 36:53has just been something that I just I love as a snapshot of where society
- 36:59is as or we're American science society is at least now. I would love
- 37:05to write for animation someday. I loved Scavenger's Reign on HBO. I thought
- 37:12that it was your beautiful work. I just love the questioning of what would
- 37:17technology and your look like if it were to blend together. So hopefully one
- 37:23day that's happened that one's not mentioned it. Yeah, yeah, cool,
- 37:30she's weird. It's weird. Yeah, but it's so so it's so beautiful,
- 37:37Yes, right, there is. So if anyone here is, if
- 37:40anyone here is watching X Men ninety seven or it hasn't you need to you
- 37:46put a meme up because the latest episode that would you believe and being in
- 37:52the Mojo verse, and there was a little clip of the X Men,
- 38:00but it was in the style of a different world, and you put in
- 38:05the meme. Yeah, well, because that's what I thought of, and
- 38:09I'm just like, well, that's like, that's cool. We we gotta
- 38:15showing up. Yeah, it's fine. And that's and that is the reason
- 38:20why I put it up too, because I'm like, I'm pretty sure people
- 38:22are going to see this and think, damn, I want more of that.
- 38:25And I was like, I bet I don't have a different world,
- 38:29but I got a living single, Living Heroes, which was on Fox.
- 38:31All you gotta do is click the button a couple of times. You there,
- 38:35I need to see this as an animation now, because you and I
- 38:39both those panels of Auroral Jennifer from as she Hulk, who is it Monica
- 38:47Rambo and I'm missing one. Who was it? Jennifer, Monica Auroro and
- 38:53Misty Misty Night, and they're the roles. They're playing the roles of the
- 38:59cast from Living Single, and I'm just like, I kind of need this.
- 39:06I was I was a little against the royal being or regime type,
- 39:08but then I thought about it and I'm like, diva, Yeah, it
- 39:13works. A lot of thought went into that, yeah, because uh,
- 39:19the thing that I even inspired that was one I think Living Single had just
- 39:23got put on Hulu. So that was like the first time I was streaming
- 39:27streaming. I was rereading The Dark Phoenix or The Phoenix Sagain is in its
- 39:31entirety fourth thing I had to write for sci Fi Wire, and I definitely
- 39:37had an uedible. So I was at the park there Missy where like Missy,
- 39:44Like everybody's at Missy's apartment, and like a portal opens, I think
- 39:47Crimson Red or somebody comes out and they gotta go because like Gene is tweaking
- 39:52out again with the Phoenix. I'm like, dang, like, so the
- 39:58Phoenix is not gonna pay rent. So that got me to think and I
- 40:01was like, man, like, what is this he gonna do. And
- 40:02I know she later had like a Supermodel frame movie or whatever, but if
- 40:07that didn't happen, rent is expensive, especially in New York even then,
- 40:12so so I was like, Okay, Storm has ties to Harlem thanks to
- 40:17her father's side, so what if a family member of somebody owned a Brownstone?
- 40:23And then manacoram Bo, I was just like, she always gave me
- 40:27Queen Latifa energy, so let's do that. And then because it was very
- 40:31obvious but also made a lot of sense, and this character had history with
- 40:36most of these women regime for she Hulk, so it just kind of worked
- 40:42out. Also, I wanted to use white Wingfoot as Kyle because I just
- 40:45wanted to do that. And then Sam Wilson, whom it's a little annoying
- 40:52sometimes. I read a lot of those earlier Captain America, Captain and Falcon
- 40:58comics, and they had my guy out bad, but in trying to rehabilitize
- 41:02him, I was like, I would make him kind of like this Himbo
- 41:06over ten figure, and I don't know, I like the idea of him
- 41:08and Misty together. So I like the dynamic because as I'm reading those panels
- 41:15few panels and I'm thinking, and then it's then Jennifer aka she Hole comes
- 41:21in and she's she's Max. Because of course number one, Jennifer's a lawyer
- 41:23too. It makes sense that Jennifer's eating them out of house a home.
- 41:30So just seeing those those dynamics, and I'm laughing because I need this book
- 41:36now and I need this series. I don't care if it's a short.
- 41:40I don't care how you do. Listen. I would do the thirty second
- 41:45cheeni or whatever it is. Like my son will watch them sometimes and it's
- 41:49all the different little cartoons that they have on Disney. I would do that.
- 41:52It doesn't matter. Give me fifteen seconds whatever, I will figure it
- 41:55out. I've gotten very good at writing story in a very small limited space.
- 42:01I can give you a page, and give you a page, I
- 42:04give you thirty seconds. It was like said, he was like, yea,
- 42:07that will be a hell I want to see that. I and and
- 42:14and for the cast of Living Single. You know y'all got some pool.
- 42:19I know y'all do question question question about living heroes because that was my first
- 42:24intest. That's the first place that I ever saw you saw your content.
- 42:30What role, if any did that play and like being able to like,
- 42:35well you said I think earlier, like play in the majors, like did
- 42:38you were you able to walk up be like, look look at this amazing
- 42:42thing I've done. Look how many people love it already? No, so
- 42:46I don't even so surprisingly, I don't know how much impact, if all,
- 42:52that Living Heroes had because I knew prior to even writing that that my
- 42:55means and stuff were going around in the x slack at the time, so
- 43:00they knew who I was even prior to me putting that out. Uh.
- 43:06Because actually when the first when the editor reached out for was in Marvel First
- 43:10Voices Legacy, it was because of so a lot of the writing I had
- 43:15done for sci Fi wire Fangirls, but the one that she highlighted was the
- 43:21history on the best Butts in Marvel, the most insane, un serious thing.
- 43:27Serious research went into it, but the most unseerious thing that I had
- 43:31did, which I found funny. Yes, well yeah it was a little
- 43:37serious, but like I found that funny. So no, Like I wish
- 43:40I could tell people like, yeah, living Heroes is thing, and I
- 43:43was like hey at conventions, like come look at this, and I got
- 43:45it No, that was not the thing. It was Marvel's best butsment just
- 43:53like wait a minute, now, I will say for more serious writing,
- 44:00and actually my first one, it was the evolution of the Door of Malaje
- 44:04from comics to what was it comics to this big screen or whatever. That
- 44:12is actually one of the things that got me into, you know, heavy
- 44:15consideration for Newbi and the Amazons, which I'm happy because in a lot of
- 44:20ways, the Door of Malaja and the Amazon's kind of remind me of one
- 44:22another. Our comments section is always lively. But like you said, you
- 44:35have a knack for the obscure, and there is a certain director who seems
- 44:42to share that same sentiment by the name of James Gunton. He does,
- 44:51he has a sentiment for the obscure. He really does. He does,
- 44:54and it works, no shape, it works. So is it? Do
- 45:00you see yourself doing features a film or television show? Yeah? Absolutely,
- 45:07you know, I'm always gonna write comics, but like, there are other
- 45:10mediums that I would love to play in animation actually be on the top of
- 45:15it, but like a DCEU or a DC animated movie I would love to
- 45:20do. If that's the feature, I'll take it a TV show, whatever
- 45:27it is, I would be open to it. I'm just like, you
- 45:30know, the opportunity to do it and see what happens. If you had
- 45:35the choice, what show would you write? Or do you have an idea
- 45:37for one? Wait? I don't think you want to give that one way.
- 45:43I absolutely do not. But if you follow my content, then you
- 45:47know it would probably be well no, actually no, take that back,
- 45:52that was gonna lie that. That actually isn't true. My first pick would
- 45:57actually not beat comedy. Interesting. Yes, alien if you read the I
- 46:04had an Alien story finally, that is so horror would actually be my top
- 46:08sci fi horror, my top you just my love language. Uh. We
- 46:19got our two members here, uh Spartan and Navy Manto games master. Yeah,
- 46:25I mean, hi, you got a question I'm gonna need because I
- 46:32don't know how many I know what questions was asked toward our guests as yet.
- 46:37Uh put it in the private chat. We'll tell you. You know,
- 46:45first of all, Stephan is honor to meet you because your work is
- 46:47phenomenal. That's all I have you. It's spot of line. So and
- 46:52I've been thinking about this all day with Marvel and DC doing their fame,
- 46:59always doing their if you could name, let's say, Marvel DC were an
- 47:04option as far as writing for them. If you could name three other companies
- 47:07outside of them that you would love to write for, who would they be.
- 47:15Well, I'm already writing for them, but it would be id W.
- 47:16I've done something with Boom and Only Press, which I also did something
- 47:22with. I think the only people left would be Image, Yes, actually
- 47:29no, the other some other folks I didn't name, but I didn't name
- 47:31for a reason. But I'm also working, Yes, but it's strong today.
- 47:39Yes, but I mean that I brought up Idie W asked me that
- 47:44I do have my Little Pony series coming out that starts June twelfth. I'm
- 47:47very excited for I can write superhero stories all day, but them ponies day.
- 47:53They brought me to my knees. Oh there's no joke when you find
- 48:01out about my Little Pony Crew the Bronies, and you're just like, oh,
- 48:05this is so much bigger than you thought. The Lord Cards okay,
- 48:12yeah, and Magic the Gathering was another sort the story for the Boom does
- 48:16Magic the Gathering, and that story was actually really fun to write. But
- 48:22I had like, there's so much. And I made this really valiant attempt
- 48:28at trying to you know, jest as much magic the Gathering Lord as I
- 48:32could, but it was that thing was like the King James Bible. It
- 48:35wouldn't happen, to be fair. I'm around it almost every day of the
- 48:39week, so I can understand. But interesting, and I mean I'm into
- 48:45the game now since writing something so like happy to be here, but man's
- 48:50that's Bible, that's Bible school after during the week, Bible study, all
- 48:57of that. Just to scratch this purpose. Did your background in stem help
- 49:06you with writing? Cherry? No, it did. No. You hear
- 49:13that in her voice, right in her voice, because no, sure,
- 49:21but you know I'm debling and you know, you know geno type and mice
- 49:28and working with humans. But uh no, the only thing to help me
- 49:34and write and shrey or from my degree is the ability to read, because
- 49:37everything else I couldn't apply. He's just like, let me kidding the book
- 49:45to start flipping. It's always funny because I feel like I disappoint people sometimes
- 49:50when I say, like, yeah, I was a research scientist, but
- 49:52you know it don't really now that is kind of a lie for the Spider
- 49:59Man story. I wrote some of the sciences kill one on one came into
- 50:02handy because he was like at the grocery store fighting this villain who had vinegar
- 50:07powers and he uses bacon soda in water to neutralize her on the spot.
- 50:13Pete's just like, this is so basic. I can take care. But
- 50:15that's yeah, but that's having third grade vibes right there, y'all. Okay,
- 50:23that's my I can respect that. Pete always has a moment just what
- 50:30it does, Like, this is why he knows. They're just like,
- 50:34we don't have any material. He's like, look, I'm used to I
- 50:36got it, figure it out. It was like, this is why he
- 50:43got corn rolls that corn rolls in wind, so he understands the struggle.
- 50:49He was like, hey, a moment for him, but he didn't seem
- 50:53to bothered by it. So you mentioned one of your favorite characters write for
- 51:00DC is Vixen, and Whumari does not get a lot of recognition. She
- 51:06got more recognition in the animated series more than anything. M hm. You
- 51:14would prefer to do a sci fi horror, which I would love to see
- 51:16that those tend to be the best well told sci fi stories when it's steep
- 51:25in some former horror because you can do sign stuff and just kind of you
- 51:30know, do dads and whatever. But like Alien, when you mentioned Alien
- 51:36in the book you wrote wrote on when you have that element of horror,
- 51:39which till to this day, that film is a perfect blend of those two
- 51:46worlds outside of Alien, Is there another property you would do, like Predator
- 51:57or something absolutely, especially like Pray was so good Terminator, I love that
- 52:04first. Terminator is also to me per people in the sci fi and horror
- 52:07too. The thing if I could, it's not sci fi horror, but
- 52:13it is like at the top of my list, and it's mad Max.
- 52:15Mad Max to be on a Thunderdome, And I would love to tell how
- 52:22Miss Tina Turner got her rise of power like whatever that comic is, Like,
- 52:28that's crazy, it's like running, Yeah, the villain story origins.
- 52:34I never did one of the station the middle of the desert, like I
- 52:38don't know the desert yet you kept your hair that luxurious Listen, there is
- 52:49a that's just hey, that's a story to be told, right the I'm
- 52:53like you look at every other Mad Max antagonist and it's just like, yeah,
- 52:59you guys will never there you all of you look sweaty and dirty.
- 53:01However, Tina, all the gas, all the gas they doing these scenes
- 53:09though, Yeah, I'm telling you they went through a petrol station doing all
- 53:13those scenes, all the driving. Like, I feel bad. I feel
- 53:16bad for mechanics, Like do you want to do what? It's like you
- 53:21want? You want flames to come out of wear? That knows you got
- 53:30She looked very her skin was on on tin. I'm like, wait a
- 53:35minute, dry ass? Uh what what? What magical source of water did
- 53:42she have at the time when the water cannot be found? That's my question.
- 53:45Don't worry about that. Don't worry about it. If you've seen Une,
- 53:52you already know. If you've seen Goes back to the popcorn box.
- 53:58Every time I hear about D, you know, so does so. Being
- 54:04a mother and being in this world of nerd, how does your kids view
- 54:08that? Do they just like, screwed that my mom wrote that book and
- 54:13she did that somebody they kind of geek out. Yeah, my son's aide.
- 54:20When I started this, I actually got into this because of him.
- 54:25I didn't leave with that, but I started reallying like a career shift until
- 54:32after I had my son I reached out to. I was dealing with some
- 54:37postpartum depression and just a lot was going on, and I reached out to
- 54:43a black romance author who I just loved a door so like next to comics
- 54:46and everything else, geeky. I'm a dry hard romance leader and just black.
- 54:53That's it specifically, just that, like my e book library and my
- 55:00real library looks insane with the Devor Jenkins, Brenda Jackson, I'll tell you,
- 55:07Washington, my Ryan, all these people. But anyway, reached out
- 55:09to Marine Smith and it was like, hey, like, you know,
- 55:13you're writing has really inspired me and made me want to get back to writing,
- 55:16something that I hadn't really done for myself in a long time. You
- 55:21know, do you have any advice? So she did. She had some
- 55:24really kind words she got back to me. I was not expecting that,
- 55:27and that moment changed my life and went out. My husband went and got
- 55:31me a new laptop just to do my little blogging and stuff like that.
- 55:37I later found out that he was leaving comments under my blog post like I
- 55:43don't know how anything else set up, but love is not that hard to
- 55:52challenge. But he was doing that and it kept me, It kept me
- 55:58encouraged, and then like folks started reading with my stuff too. So from
- 56:04there I got comfortable with my voice and I don't know, it got come
- 56:08through with my voice. And then when I would talk to my son or
- 56:14show him stuff, it would be all the nerdy stuff that I watched in
- 56:16the same way that my dad did with me. And now he is like
- 56:22a Mario fan, like you wouldn't believe. We can tell you everything Mega
- 56:25Man. He loves him some dog Man and cat Kid. Uh so,
- 56:31Captain Underpants, all of that deep into sonic. So he he's very early
- 56:38in his fandoms. But more importantly, like when he said conventions and stuff
- 56:43with me, that's always cool because he does his own art, so he
- 56:45sells the stuff at my table. He got art advice from Brian Stelfries,
- 56:52who is so sweet and it's just really nice. Yeah, So he's he
- 56:58goes to the local convention. I do Heroes con all the time, and
- 57:00my son was with me and like he was giving him tips and stuff on
- 57:04his comics. Same thing with Samford Green. So it's nice to like be
- 57:07able to have my son interact with these black legends. Yeah, with these
- 57:12black legends in the space and you know, for them to encourage him,
- 57:16and he is still very serious with his art. I promise him if he
- 57:21finished it his comic book, that I would get a printed for him and
- 57:23then he could sell him at Mumbo Con so next month. So yeah,
- 57:29so he's into it X Men ninety seven. We've been watching that together.
- 57:32In fact, I was back and for a trip. He had just got
- 57:36home from school and here at the music playing. He came in and then
- 57:38next thing I know, episode two ended and he looked at me. He
- 57:43was like, it's two of them. It's two Gina Grays Jean Gray.
- 57:45But he called them Gina and I have not I love him already. Yeah,
- 57:52I love about Gina Gray. He was like Scott's wife. I was
- 57:58like, oh, you mean Jean Gray. Remember that, y'all, that's
- 58:06Gina from now on. Okay, it's a Jeen Gray and a Ga Gray.
- 58:10That's how we go. That's how it's gonna be said from now Gina
- 58:14Gray. So now I'm thinking of Martin and Cyclops. So anyway, there
- 58:19we now it needs to be done. So before we go to commercial,
- 58:27I have to ask you, you've done this deep dive on Invincible. How
- 58:36much of the book did you? Did you read the entire run or did

- 59:06pour back through everything because so far, the way that it's been going is
- 59:12that they've definitely pulled from the book, but they've rearranged some things, tweak
- 59:17some things, and some stuff is a little out of order or happened already
- 59:22and so on and so forth. So so very familiar. So I think
- 59:29I had no but you're going to ask men she showed up. When she

- 1:04:06they showed up, they showed out. I swear he was given jojo right
- 1:04:15giving me jojo, and I wasn't mad at it. These women. This
- 1:04:21is something that I'm seeing in the WWE, more of the more remimentation,
- 1:04:27and let's be honest, the women are showing out. I just I just
- 1:04:32want to say, as a rest of the band, it is nice to
- 1:04:35see three heavily talented, athletic black women literally headlining. That is that is
- 1:04:45at one As a person that's a wrestling scholar, I cannot tell you a
- 1:04:49pay per view a show in any part of my years on this earth that
- 1:04:57you ever saw at pay per view where three women literally stole the show and
- 1:05:01that was beautiful to watch. It was We're talking WrestleMania forty this past weekend,
- 1:05:09two nights. There were very much standout moments in this one. No
- 1:05:15one thought the dead Man was coming, but here he was. He blinked
- 1:05:19in like a bad commercial. Oh my gosh, what that man? That
- 1:05:24man show like somebody was on his lawn and he got tired of it,
- 1:05:27just like I didn't see the sign. It went from John Cena showing up
- 1:05:31and then he gets knocked out the ring to undertakers showing up, and all
- 1:05:35this time people kept thinking it was going to be stone cold, and I
- 1:05:39was one of them. I'm not gonna lie. There was. There was
- 1:05:43At one point I thought John mox is gonna show. When I saw the
- 1:05:46shield, I was like, ain't no way, ain't no way, y'all
- 1:05:50got that man to come back. I say, wait a minute, the
- 1:05:53man who shall not be named, he's about bat he's about the buy his
- 1:05:56Baltimore. Now say his name in w B anymore. I'm like, well
- 1:06:00he's not. He's gone so he could actually show back up. And they
- 1:06:04got us all they got us. Yeah. Uh. Two hundred and one
- 1:06:09thousand, Yeah, two hundred and one thousand in attendance over two days.
- 1:06:15That that was just those in attendance. We're not even talking about who's online
- 1:06:21watching it or watching it through peacock or anything. That was me. I
- 1:06:26was a major records. But one story that love him or hate him,
- 1:06:33it was a hell of a story. Cody Rhodes. Yes, I'm happy
- 1:06:39it happened like this. Nothing again, but it was a hell of a
- 1:06:45story. It's or anything finished. It did it did, it did.
- 1:06:50But here you know, to see that you know, you won this award,
- 1:06:56you won this belt, and your father, you know who everyone on
- 1:07:01this board who's gonna watching wrestling during the eighties and nineties, Dusty Rose was
- 1:07:06that guy that was just he was just entertaining. And to see that his
- 1:07:13son won this belt. M h. And then his mother is in the
- 1:07:16ring, and then the people outside the ring who knew his father and seeing
- 1:07:23him come up right, and it just does something to you when you see
- 1:07:27the people who really stepped in and said not today, it's not today.
- 1:07:34Yeah, it's it's It was a major turn. It was a good turn
- 1:07:40for many that I've been hearing over the past weekend. This was kind of
- 1:07:44people reintroducing themselves to wrestling. Oh, this was this was This was long
- 1:07:49term storytelling at its finest. Don't get me wrong. I mean the whole
- 1:07:54thing of replaying you know, I mean how many times you I mean,
- 1:07:57finish the story. Yeah, the line got really overplayed, but the story,
- 1:08:01as far as you know, Cody finally getting a shot. The Rock
- 1:08:04comes in and adds a little spice on it. I'm like his whole final
- 1:08:09boss thing. And they kind of went a little bit attitude era with a
- 1:08:13couple of over the top antics. But it made you want to watch wrestling,
- 1:08:17the whole thing of you know, the Rock kind of having a fascination
- 1:08:20with Ma Morose for a second. You're kind of borderline criminal minds unsub at
- 1:08:27this point because he kept up saying mamas, I was like, wait a
- 1:08:32minute, man, come down right. So it's very they did him.
- 1:08:38They did a great job. Triple H did say much early when he took
- 1:08:41over the role that things were going to change, things were going to turn
- 1:08:45for the better. Uh, they were gonna be better stories. And he
- 1:08:48he didn't disappoint. He did not disappoint. But the one thing I do
- 1:08:54the one thing I do want to point out was the fact that they said
- 1:08:56that this was the beginning of the Triple AH era. And I'm like,
- 1:09:00congratulations, w W what a way to basically solidify yourself against future lawsuits.
- 1:09:08Well, I'm like, hey, look, your plan serves all the credit.
- 1:09:12I'll give them that, but you know, you know, w b
- 1:09:15was like, Hey, we got upcoming lawsuits start probably involve us, so
- 1:09:18we need to go ahead and say whose era it is, So that way
- 1:09:21we can just sprinkle little distraction, Just sprinkle here. Since a little distraction.
- 1:09:28This weekend was a classic example of when you remove the misogyny and the
- 1:09:35bad treatment of the so call of the people that work for you. You
- 1:09:41remove that element and you allow stories to be told and talent to flourish and
- 1:09:45to thrive. You see something beautiful two days. This was by far from
- 1:09:53resumating one when I first saw it at home to this one, this is
- 1:09:55by far the best one ever because I saw people to look like me in
- 1:10:00the ring doing the damn thing. Great. Before we go further, we
- 1:10:05want to get Stephanie going to her real quick, Stephanie, where can he

- 1:15:05Shout out to the Triple H and what he's doing and what that entire
- 1:15:10crew is doing over at w W. It's, like I said, it's
- 1:15:14caused a lot of people. I've seen a lot of posts like yo,
- 1:15:15I think I'm watching this again. You know, it's interesting again when you
- 1:15:21see just watching once again watching the women wrestle. And I'm not saying it
- 1:15:28in the creepiest way. Watching the women Wrestle has been entertaining as hell.
- 1:15:32No they're not. They're not stuck to do in one or two minute or
- 1:15:38squash matches. When they're actually given time and you actually allow talented women to
- 1:15:43actually run a program, you see you actually see some very talented wrestling and
- 1:15:48the fits, the fits, it's not just TNA that you have to know,
- 1:15:56they coming out, they coming out, the flare of all of it.
- 1:16:00I'm just like, mm hmm, this is good. It was and
- 1:16:03and and we were all like in the occurrence like we're like, well,
- 1:16:08we're the only crew that weren't there and attendance, like everybody we knew it
- 1:16:13was. It was there. So yeah, Also, I gotta point this
- 1:16:17out to trade point this out. Also shout out to Samantha Irvan who was
- 1:16:20the announcer. Yes, literally killed it the first the one intil the first
- 1:16:27night. In the second night, she absolutely killed it her emotional announcement when
- 1:16:33she announced, yeah, that kind of itchy because you're just like you felt
- 1:16:38it. You felt it, you just like love him. I hate him.
- 1:16:43Damn good story. Y'all did yourself. You did what you're supposed to
- 1:16:46do. So why was there eating a rock league kicking a full on prime
- 1:16:53outfit. I don't know, but I'm glad he got heat. I'm glad
- 1:16:55you ate that. So I'm just saying, ever since that boy turned eighteen
- 1:16:59k sized and let that man get his ass whooped every chance, he must
- 1:17:03be a hell of a check. That's all I can say. You want
- 1:17:05to you want to do? You want to Spartan kick me on national television.
- 1:17:10The second I saw the foot go off like that, That outfit is
- 1:17:13blocking nothing. Look. Look the minute I seen him up there, somebody
- 1:17:16posted the clip and somebody in the comments section said, who is I speed?
- 1:17:20And I said, exactly, mm hmmm, doesn't matter, doesn't matter.
- 1:17:27I don't cry. I mean lover hate, lover hate Jake Paul.
- 1:17:30I mean lover hate the logan Paul. It's just the man can the man
- 1:17:34can put on a program you though. I can't stand both brothers, and
- 1:17:38I hope Tyson kills his brother. So oh, there's some story behind I
- 1:17:44think it was a boxing match. We just keep saying versus like I'm not
- 1:17:47trying to get on Netflix and their Planetarios ship, and like we never said
- 1:17:50it was a boxing match. Between the lines, speaking speaking of the upcoming
- 1:17:58UH funeral arrangements for Jake Bawl, I don't know how true it is because
- 1:18:06I haven't seen the clip exactly. I'm hearing it verbatim, but he said
- 1:18:13something in terms about Tyson's deceased daughter, and I'm just like, bro,
- 1:18:19welcome to your execution and get forgotten real quick. You have basically killed the
- 1:18:26referee because that is the stand in the ring. That referee will have no
- 1:18:30power. All that referee is gonna sit there and be like he's gonna step
- 1:18:33out the way and the all thing he's gonna be calling for doctor. Yeah.
- 1:18:38Really bad idea in sense like there's there's trash talk, and even Tyson
- 1:18:45has said it, and if Tyson has said it in the most calm manner
- 1:18:48on his podcast, he says, if I let that person come out hell
- 1:18:53is coming with him, and I'm like, I believe him. I believed
- 1:18:58it. I mean, I see because you having flashbacks when he's training,
- 1:19:04Like whoa training mind? Just do not match up. I'm just like,
- 1:19:09there's no way reference gonna have the easiest job. All you gotta just bring
- 1:19:12a bag of snacks. Keep right a ring side the bell ring. He
- 1:19:15goes right to the corner and just the road. It's gonna be over in
- 1:19:20ten seconds. Aren't you gonna stop this? No, we're just waiting for
- 1:19:24you to be on the back the small back of snacks. This is how
- 1:19:28long this match is gonna last. Like your mom gave me these fruit snacks.
- 1:19:32Now, look, you're right though it is it's one thing to trash
- 1:19:36off. But I'm like you you talk about man's family, Uh wo that
- 1:19:43that that's somebody got on the ground. Why the Paul family just needs to
- 1:19:47be eradicated. That's stupid, is what it is. And that's what they
- 1:19:50excel at being stupid. Thank god, that is not up. It's really
- 1:19:56for shock value. But it's just like at some point it's like you didn't
- 1:20:00even be caring about value. But if he want to get his breaks rocked,
- 1:20:04off. It's okay. I mean here, I was hoping that it
- 1:20:10is. It's going to happen, but I just won't. That's what this
- 1:20:15is what saying. This is what Drake Paul's trainer is saying. He's like,
- 1:20:19I remember Tyson been a man's ear off. Do you are you crazy?
- 1:20:26He told him that he tried to do it twice. Yeah, he
- 1:20:30tried to do it twice. But your trainer is telling you what the fuck
- 1:20:39that? I don't know. That was when Tyson was winning. Now he's
- 1:20:43just on the streets, retired board and with nothing, with free time to
- 1:20:45think about. But what you said really real in shape out there. The
- 1:20:51holy feel has just had a shiver go over him. Okay, I can't.
- 1:20:55I can't. I give Logan his credit because he's had growth over the
- 1:20:59years, so I give props. Jake. I can't take seriously because it's
- 1:21:01just like a walking, living version of me was most wanted right tell me,
- 1:21:06tell me everything he does right now is not just b rad from that
- 1:21:10movie pretty much. I also feel like he's cosplaying Connor mcgrecord and he's gonna
- 1:21:14get hurt. He tried that when he called out, He tried when he
- 1:21:18called him out for his fight like eight times and got ignored. I feel
- 1:21:25like, legally kill him in the ring like that maybe not seeped into his
- 1:21:32brain just yet. They're gonna put a no headshot. That's it. There's
- 1:21:36gonna be a no headshot clause in it, apparently, but yeah, there
- 1:21:40is. Whether that's swallowed or not, we will see because somewhere, somewhere,
- 1:21:45somewhere stop. So it's not like I'm just remember remember used to have
- 1:21:55those those dead Man matches and he would always have the coffee out there.
- 1:21:59It's it's gonna be one of the things where the Undertaker's gonna wheeld this out.
- 1:22:01He's like, what's the Undertaker doing? He was like, no,
- 1:22:03you're gonna what do you like you about? You're about a size seven and
- 1:22:08coffee, right, coffin is crazy. That's gonna come out there with a
- 1:22:18priest and a preacher. It's like, okay, I don't know what religion
- 1:22:20you are, so I wanted to both faces. You might need both pillow
- 1:22:27or no pillow. It's not gonna matter. It's not gonna make the blow
- 1:22:31blow any less man, right, So X men ninety seven, we're what
- 1:22:40four episodes in just yea Lord, wait for tomorrow. Lord, Yeah,
- 1:22:45dear Lord, Yeah. Man, man, you gotta at the table,
- 1:22:47throw a card to somebody, like leave the coffee pot on the lady and
- 1:22:53got a chance against silver Main, Just got a chance. Mantok uh gambit.
- 1:23:00I'm living out the that Tiler creators on Dog Truth. That's me.
- 1:23:04There's no piece in the match for everybody. Look he every that last episode
- 1:23:13where he's talking about the coffee and getting a cappuccino. He can't say anything
- 1:23:17every spoon out of it. He could just say nothing. You could just
- 1:23:24do three scoops. You had to put all three or once. Ain't nobody
- 1:23:30having a good breakfast today? It was the ship. I I gotta admit
- 1:23:41though, this this season is amazing. If you called yourself skipping the intro
- 1:23:48before in the original, you damn you ain't skipping this one at all.
- 1:23:54It's amped up to ten and watch the intro because it changes. I'm gonna
- 1:24:00am I getting new scenes every episode. Definitely, there's there's Paul like what
- 1:24:06happened? There's such and such, there's oh they did that? Like what
- 1:24:12you're doing there? People are missing Storm, people are missing the latest thing
- 1:24:17that people picked up was the jeans. Yeah when it's when the show started,
- 1:24:25the jean had no ponytail. That was Madeline our Jeane. Where's it
- 1:24:30in ponytail? Yeah, Gina. If anybody follows Larry Tunes and Instagram,
- 1:24:41apparently he put that back in the original show. See it's it's there when
- 1:24:46she when he she's they first scanned Cable's mind in the O G show.
- 1:24:50Yeah, it was a picture of Madeline. He's like, not a lot
- 1:24:54of people have caught this for the last decades. It's not Jane has that
- 1:25:01is it's it makes you feel like it's Saturday morning all over again. I'm
- 1:25:04not gonna lie. Uh oh, I got my cyril on deck for tomorrow.
- 1:25:11I have to go find my I missed my humongous bowl coke. It's
- 1:25:15my job. I can say that. It's five. I'm like, I'm
- 1:25:19doing my job watching X Man. This is my job, Like this other
- 1:25:24job just helps paper. This is my job, right watching this and but
- 1:25:29it is. It's it's so good, it really is. I'm not saying
- 1:25:31it because I'm a huge X Man fan, Yes i am. But at
- 1:25:34the same time, at the same time, like there the story the storytelling
- 1:25:40is damn near immaculate. Yes, yeah, they're taking their time with it,
- 1:25:45damn near immaculate. Aliehey Smith Okay, Kira, I don't think they're
- 1:25:53taking their time. It doesn't feel like they're taking their time, but it
- 1:25:57feels like they are. It's the way they're content in certain storylines, which
- 1:26:01I think in the medium that it's in makes sense. But not every nuance
- 1:26:06can be explored. But I mean, if you I mean the first two
- 1:26:10episodes covered like what sixty not fifty fifty episodes of the original in two episodes?
- 1:26:15You covered fifty episodes. You covered fifty the original episodes in two So
- 1:26:19I mean that whole, that whole, that whole goblin thing, goblin queen
- 1:26:25thing. And I'm like, wait, are we doing basically, what are
- 1:26:28we doing? That whole sit what we When I saw the guy Prior yo,
- 1:26:33I jumped out of my ship. I was like, that got madelin
- 1:26:38Prior. Okay. I like the fight, but Magna might need to put
- 1:26:41the metal soup back on, right. You gotta beat down by glass,
- 1:26:45my dude. This you gotta beat by glass and trigonometry. I saw Magneta
- 1:26:51with a hole in this Chest and X Men Red. So yeah, that
- 1:26:55was that was exciting. But yeah, it's it's good. It's a good
- 1:27:01watch, whether you're binging it or just watching it week to week. This
- 1:27:05is some really I've watched. I've watched several episodes more than once, just
- 1:27:10because that's so much to catch. There's so much to catch, and the
- 1:27:15fact that this last episode and they split it in two and now they're getting
- 1:27:18for it. If somebody trying to say, but storms already met for it,
- 1:27:21just no, she hasn't I the Cross, No, he met the
- 1:27:30other ex men, but she wasn't there. She wasn't there at that point.
- 1:27:34So all of y'all out there who think you know what the hell is
- 1:27:36going on, just take a seat and shut up, all right, because
- 1:27:43in the early show you pretty much catched on it. They just they have
- 1:27:46a creative way of segmenting who they need for each episode. Yeah, X
- 1:27:50Mansion gets attacked for some reason. No one's home. I am in awe
- 1:27:57of what they're doing. Marvel Animation seems to be there. We're gonna dive
- 1:28:06into that and and have some fun, you know, between what if and
- 1:28:11now X Men ninety seven, there's something save us on your mind, right,
- 1:28:23don't hold back, it's there. There's talks of reviving the Spider Man
- 1:28:30series, which I'm okay with. I'm okay with not every series they need
- 1:28:35to revive, but this looks good. This looks good for them because eventually,
- 1:28:42you know, it's the X Men, there's gonna be if you tell
- 1:28:45the right story, you can have the right crossover. Yeah, that's all
- 1:28:49it takes. You know, it's like feeling, and it probably won't happen
- 1:28:53right away out because it's what eight episodes this season eight I think it's six
- 1:28:59or eight. It's a short episode, episodes shorter like that. Why can't
- 1:29:04we take an anime approach to these shows? Get with the longer, the
- 1:29:10longer seasons. Because the complain about this last run of Marvel shows on Disney
- 1:29:16Plus was that they were too short. There were six eight episodes trying to
- 1:29:19cramp all this information in this short amount of space, and then you leave
- 1:29:24people. People walk away from the table empty. They have for several reasons.
- 1:29:32Showrunners is one of them. A lot of these things could have been
- 1:29:38fleshed out better if they were longer, two episodes longer. Even you figure
- 1:29:45it out of all the shows they've dropped that Marvel wise, I think the
- 1:29:49only one that was really in completion was Loki. Yeah, you know,
- 1:29:55they they said, we're going to tell the story. We know how we
- 1:29:58want to tell it. It's not gonna upset the balance of anything else,
- 1:30:01and if anything, it's going to help some things. And I think WandaVision
- 1:30:06was a very close second. They were shortened by one that you know,
- 1:30:13so and that's just due to COVID, But other than that, that was
- 1:30:15a pretty close second. You know. So like the Moonlight the we could
- 1:30:25have used two or three episodes with that, just in between a couple of
- 1:30:30places, just to just I mean, you still want people to come back
- 1:30:32to catch the next season. I get that, I get it. I
- 1:30:35totally understand that, but you need to leave them feeling a kind of way
- 1:30:39about the season that you just gave them, because a lot of I think
- 1:30:42a lot of the upset that people are having with Marvel at the moment is
- 1:30:45over the shorter these condensed seasons and things. They are not feeling fulfilled after
- 1:30:50watching what they have they're given us. Yeah, there's there's moments and and
- 1:30:57I agree, there's there's some definite moments where when it comes to the live
- 1:31:00actions, you're just like you could tell we've talked about it before. You
- 1:31:05like you can tell. There's moments where they're just it didn't it didn't land,
- 1:31:12it didn't land, or you're missing something, you know. I mean
- 1:31:15even now they're talking Daredevil Reborn pretty much everybody's back. Pretty much everybody's back,
- 1:31:24and it's no secret. So at this point they're just like, Okay,
- 1:31:27who's next. Like as far as the show, like, we know
- 1:31:30John Barrenthal's back, we know it. We know that Foggy Neilson is back,
- 1:31:36and everybody. We know that these Vanessa's just been Nasa the are the
- 1:31:42actress that plays in Essa. Uh, these people are back. So we're
- 1:31:45now we're just looking at the rest of said live action Marvel, Slash,
- 1:31:51Netflix whatever crew to come back. We know o Cage is prone to come
- 1:32:00back because Jessica Jones was coming back. I think Marvel after after seeing what
- 1:32:08X Men ninety seven is doing, and even I think even before that,
- 1:32:11after the end of Loki, they realize or someone in there realizes that rushing
- 1:32:16a story is going to push people away, because if you rush a story
- 1:32:21and elements are missed, but they're not explained. You lead confusion. And
- 1:32:28let's face it, this general, a lot of these degeneration they don't like
- 1:32:31having their questions unanswered, and they will run quick as a wink. Why
- 1:32:38some of us know the answer to the questions. It will still be nice
- 1:32:42to see how they would explain it. So I think they're they're on path,
- 1:32:45especially with the way ninety seven is going. So I'm optimistic. I
- 1:32:50agree. I agree, Patrick, I think so. So my cultures show
- 1:32:58evil. I think this is their last season, and so now that window
- 1:33:04is wide open. Mm hmm. Oh yeah, there's there's a there's a
- 1:33:10wide open even for all of them, even the one that me and your
- 1:33:17are not really holding out. Hope. Care's whole face just told the story.
- 1:33:28She's more like burns and the internal fires of the ghost rid. My
- 1:33:31thing is is like, if you get his ass on a dojo somewhere,
- 1:33:36I would know my culture in my head. I had absolutely no thoughts of
- 1:33:41that. I didn't even hear me. I'm sorry, culture in your head.
- 1:33:48I'm sorry, crazy, No simple three years trained with Donnie in before
- 1:34:00you say the name, I infist again. It's you mentioned that name Donny.
- 1:34:08No, he's too, it's too in a second total in this universe,
- 1:34:15yes he is, it's it's jack and Jackie Shannon. It's totally different.
- 1:34:23It's a totally separate Donny In story, nothing to do with Marvel.
- 1:34:26However, if you know the story about what happened to Dolph Lundering, this
- 1:34:30is similar to donni Yan that yeah, they tried to rub I'm gonna tried
- 1:34:35to rob him not knowing it was dona Ye several people imagine you imagine you
- 1:34:45robbed Doni and how that oh ship is in It's like, he's the word
- 1:34:50try. I don't want to. I want to go watch Roddy Flick on
- 1:34:56YouTube now because I'm hearing this now, just because just five daily let's go.
- 1:35:01When you so, being being from the world of reading comics like I
- 1:35:05do, there aren't your level of villainy. There's gotta be somebody above your
- 1:35:15basic thug. And because the fact that the fact that these people tried to
- 1:35:21rob Donnie In put you on the same level as the guy who tried to
- 1:35:26who who who robbed John Wick of his car and killed his dog. Even
- 1:35:31the father was like, you did what that's m hmm. I can't even
- 1:35:41save you from that. You could, there's nobody to pay off. There
- 1:35:46is no family, right, this is just it's just just strikes me.
- 1:35:55That just strikes me as a moment when when Donnian's minding his business walking down
- 1:35:59the street and they and people see this, and in most cases the people
- 1:36:02would help, you know, you would think, but this is probably one
- 1:36:05of the moments where they were just like, and it's okay to do it.
- 1:36:10Pull your phone out, record this because this is gonna be good.
- 1:36:15It's a one on one demonstration of what not to do with the event with
- 1:36:18our jacket. But why didn't you help with that? Man? Trust me,
- 1:36:21it ain't the man who needs I can imagine going on someone across the
- 1:36:27street of screaming this honor on you. It's living under a rock. That
- 1:36:40generation need to figure is angry. You need to figure it out. Uh.
- 1:36:45We have a trailer that just star Wars outlaws what from the HM and
- 1:37:00he is dancing ways, what's gonna be something you're doing? The Giggey represents
- 1:37:09some of the most powerful criminal organizations in the Galloy Look how pretty it is,
- 1:37:15Crimson Door Hunts, It's Golden age for the Underworld. The Empire controls
- 1:37:24every corner of the galaxy, but they're distracted by rebellion that won't quit.
- 1:37:30It's an opportunity to make millions. Hey, that's the Underworld's favorite news scout.
- 1:37:40Fuck you need it last? What do you want? Zeric Besh their
- 1:37:46new rich and lethal. You crossed their boss Sleiro, and now he wants
- 1:37:54you gone robs fortune by your freedom. This job, it's a death wish
- 1:38:08out here. You live and die by your reputation. You want to survive,
- 1:38:15you know the players Dubba right, Well, don't try anything. I've
- 1:38:26got a wholeward surrounding. That's okay, we're skipping that. For about as
- 1:38:30long as I can remember, it's just been me a nise doing what we
- 1:38:38have to to survive. This job is my one shot at freedom. But
- 1:38:45if we're going to pull this off, we need the right crew and the
- 1:38:50right ship. M hm h hi. Because you are one of the best
- 1:39:03hunters in the Outer Rim. She's more connected than you let on. Best
- 1:39:11is mixed up in something bigger. The Outer Rim is a dangerous place.
- 1:39:20Everyone is fighting for their piece of the galaxy. But all I want is
- 1:39:28to list blea, Well, I'm gonna risk it. All Star Wars pre
- 1:39:42order of now looks strong. I agree, hmm. That's the I like
- 1:40:00it. But it's what we've been saying. It's you can. You can
- 1:40:04make great Star Wars games that don't involve Jedi or Sith, as long as
- 1:40:10you give it a good story. That's all we're asking for in all of
- 1:40:14our media. Give us a good story. You can take any story.
- 1:40:20I still need them to show me actual gameplay. Thank you, thank you.
- 1:40:28I was about to say that there should be there should be a demonstration
- 1:40:31next week, so you should be giving a demo next week on high plays.
- 1:40:35They didn't. I don't know why they didn't do it this week,
- 1:40:38but because they never do. They always give it the cinematic game first before
- 1:40:44you start trying to sell me a season pass. Like so when it comes
- 1:40:48to when it comes just Star Wars in general, when it comes to stories
- 1:40:54like this, mm hmm. You know, even when it comes to live
- 1:40:59act like Door. You know, these are stories that we're looking for.
- 1:41:04It just doesn't what you don't like, Anthworthy goddamn hand No, we asked
- 1:41:11you about your goddamn hat. That's like you said, stop at you too.
- 1:41:15He's she's good. But we do we like we like stories like that.
- 1:41:19It's great that we have our Luke Skywalker stories, the whole Skywalker soccer.
- 1:41:24That's fine, no shade, that's what it introduced a lot of us.
- 1:41:27However, when you get these intermingled other stories, because once again we
- 1:41:31stated it before, it's a huge universe. There's other things going on.
- 1:41:36We'd like to see those stories where there's a rebellion story, whether it's a
- 1:41:42smuggler story, wherever. Even I've gone on the record saying Solo, the
- 1:41:47Solo movie, it wasn't a bad movie. It was just bad timing.
- 1:41:53Yep, oh god that it was. It was because you can watch that
- 1:41:59movie and it's just like, he's not bad. It was just the worst
- 1:42:03timing. It had the worst timing, and it was just like, was
- 1:42:08it pushed enough? It could have made some difference. Who knows. It's
- 1:42:12just like Rogue one, but where did it? But where did you advertise
- 1:42:18it? Literally at a point where nobody was looking for it. Yeah,
- 1:42:24and when you sit back and you watch World one, you're just especially the
- 1:42:26ending when you finally see and you're like, this is actually good because it's
- 1:42:30it's almost even though it's intermingled with what we know, it's a separate story.
- 1:42:35Mm hmm. I mean it did the same thing in Solo that had
- 1:42:41it seemed with surprise, I'm backish kind of talking about I'm waiting for We're
- 1:42:49like, okay, where's the rest? Yeah, nothing never gonna And it
- 1:42:55was disappointing because you like you had a great turn and no payoff. Pretty
- 1:43:00much, it's only one thing I really want from this game. I wanted
- 1:43:04to be a truly open world experience, and I do not want it to
- 1:43:09be a souls like please, oh please, I don't want no soul like,
- 1:43:14so please beg Well there is there is already a piece of bad news
- 1:43:18already attached to it. You will need alive. You will need a love
- 1:43:20your net connection to play it. Oh I thought we got rid of in
- 1:43:25twenty thirteen. We learned nothing from Suicide Squadh. No, you did not.
- 1:43:30You need a love connection to play the game, even if you have
- 1:43:33the physical copy. The is bullshit. Wowy double check. I had a
- 1:43:40double check that just to make sure. But yeah, there's Lucas Arts is
- 1:43:43saying that in order to actually play Star Wars outlaws. You will need a
- 1:43:46live your net connection to install and continue to play the game. What do
- 1:43:50they get? What was the reason? What's the well? What's the reason?
- 1:43:57The long story short, most companies are banking on live service even though
- 1:44:00live service games outside of the outside of Hell Divers, which is the only
- 1:44:05successful one so far, a lot of these companies are banking on live service
- 1:44:10games. So from having millions of people, I don't want to play with
- 1:44:15other people. I don't want to play with other people. I want to,
- 1:44:20but I don't want to play with y'all. I want to play the
- 1:44:23goddamn game. Gives me the option single player narrative experience. So what what
- 1:44:36what are they? What was it Jedi Survivor and the one before that?
- 1:44:45What what is it? Goes over? Well, so that like give me
- 1:44:49the Red Dead Revolver. You have, you have the options, You have
- 1:44:57the options. There's nothing wrong with options. Because Rockstar realized there's more money
- 1:45:02to be made if I just if we get you suckered in on the on
- 1:45:05the non live service and then put you on the other side with the actual
- 1:45:09subscription service. But you, like you said, a choice was given.
- 1:45:13You can play offline or you can play online, but they don't. That's
- 1:45:16the thing. Everybody wins, the players win, the companies win. Everybody
- 1:45:23wins. Because while we didn't get as many uh on the physical copy,
- 1:45:28but we got a lot on the on the back end for the live Okay,
- 1:45:30fine, but what if they decided, hey, let me go ahead
- 1:45:34play this physical copy, physical copy, Physical media matters. It still matters.
- 1:45:41Amen. I told you, guys this story. My son has a
- 1:45:48little and I told him, you know, because he sees my office and
- 1:45:54he's like, you have the coolest toys and he's like, where do you
- 1:45:58get my toys? And I said, some of them came from Toys r
- 1:46:00Us. He's never been experienced the Toys of Us, never heard of Toys
- 1:46:03r US and he never will. Unfortunately he never will. But the story
- 1:46:09I gave him was the story of Legends. And when I finished, and
- 1:46:15you'll be when I finished this story and told him and they closed all the
- 1:46:26stores. His response was, but didn't they find that important? And I
- 1:46:31lost it because I'm like this kid sticks and show yo said it. He
- 1:46:35gets it, he gets it. He was like, there's a reason that
- 1:46:41stuff matters. Is like, do you realize Toys r US. Had you
- 1:46:45tookn that option of having some online sales, you could have been whooping Amazon's
- 1:46:51ass. Be careful so you're speaking truth. Be careful now, come on
- 1:46:55now, you could have had the best of both worlds. This is why,
- 1:47:00this is why I said e commerce stores destroyed mom and pop stores because
- 1:47:04they did convenience over convenience over quantity. Versus those mom pop stores, you
- 1:47:11got everything you wanted. I mean we had those I mean not not the
- 1:47:14I'm not talking the electric the EB games and the kV toys. I'm talking
- 1:47:18about those hole in the wall places where you still got games, but you
- 1:47:20got more to go along with it. Oh yeah. He literally said,
- 1:47:24there's a section of toys here and here, and I'm like, yes,
- 1:47:29everywhere. I said, you know how mom goes into Walmart and she stays
- 1:47:34in there for hours? He was like yeah, He's like yeah, that's
- 1:47:36how I was. I would stay in Toys r US for hours. You
- 1:47:41couldn't he going adults going doing the toys with us and stand there for hours
- 1:47:50because it was a place to go. It was so easily accessible that you
- 1:47:56could just find so many things. Like now, because I have a goal
- 1:48:00of basically having many of I want a collection of many of the things that
- 1:48:06I had as a kid, because not here, I have to like actually
- 1:48:15search much harder, right, and it hurts. I could have told you
- 1:48:18what my favorite store was in Brooklyn too, of a Viking's Plaza about across
- 1:48:30from Marine Park. I used to love that place. Yep. It's it's
- 1:48:32it's saddening because I walked through the halls of Walmart now when I when I
- 1:48:39have to go there, and I always as as as as it is because
- 1:48:44of us, we have to make that stop in the toy second only to
- 1:48:46go in there, and it's like this sucks you going there? You going
- 1:48:56there? Like a target person, go inside of Walmart? Just disappointed altogether,
- 1:49:00My god, even the target is getting bad. It's just like my
- 1:49:05soul. I don't I don't understand p t about it. Wait, what
- 1:49:12what annoys your soul? You know? Experience? It's I mean, it's
- 1:49:21like, you know, like that because they got super Walmarts and everything like
- 1:49:26that. It's not all it's not really about the bad ex It's really about
- 1:49:30the experience because they've got good like prices on things that you'll be like it
- 1:49:35is cheaper over here than Target. But I know the experience I have at
- 1:49:40Target, and I remember I remember, like when I grew up, like
- 1:49:45Walmart was the store. But as time went on, like especially when I
- 1:49:49started getting teenagers everything, until now I become a Target person, like because
- 1:49:55I remember when Walmart was good, when you know, the aquarium was in
- 1:49:58the back op, the aquarium was four hours time to go. My beef
- 1:50:04with targeting, My beef with Walmart actually started like way back in the day
- 1:50:12when I found out that they were encouraging their employees to go unstate insurance as
- 1:50:16opposed to pay them pro Liverpool wage and paying for insurance. You can do
- 1:50:21this and still make a ship ton of money. Why aren't you doing it?
- 1:50:25You're putting it on the state. From there, it was like war.
- 1:50:30Sam's family is once up. Once the old man died and the family
- 1:50:36take over, that's when it all went downhill from there. Ain't that always
- 1:50:41the case the Grisbilding story, isn't it. The old man dies, the
- 1:50:46family buys the power. But this, this power, this started family has
- 1:50:50over one of the greatest retail chains in the US. And it's like a
- 1:50:54one big game of succession. Damn damn out. Actually get it, it's
- 1:51:01mine. I mean, profits are losing and you can no longer do self
- 1:51:05checkout? Uh got this came from Walmart. I was like twenty two self
- 1:51:11checkouts and only five of them are open. That's insane. Why do you
- 1:51:15even have so many? It's because they're stupid, very because they need to
- 1:51:20bring back people and they don't value them. That's speaking of value. We
- 1:51:28do have another trailer. What I wonder if is the one? Is it
- 1:51:35the one where it's a musical. It's the one I tell you it's you
- 1:51:43guys posted and I was like, it's really coming out unfortunately, because it
- 1:51:53was we're gonna watch jokey joker for a I do they do it? I'm
- 1:52:00let do fra mag I took French and I know why I failed it.
- 1:52:06I never thought i'd need it again. Uh yes, so here we are
- 1:52:14joker he is Wow, he forgot what food was? Take f You got
- 1:52:23a joke for us today? Damn it. We use music to make us
- 1:52:38whole, to balance the fractures within househouse. I haven't done anything with my
- 1:52:55life like you have. Why do black and trapping? Wow? This is
- 1:53:20crazy? What niece, n he's a lot sweet. Now it's the only
- 1:53:34thing then, Thus, what's changed? Are they I'll tell you what's changed.
- 1:53:57That's what we should be talking about. I want to say the real
- 1:54:16you. So let me tell you though, right, and then how the
- 1:54:41Aunties always started. Let me tell you the arrangement of what the world needs
- 1:54:45now. Though I wanted, I was like, is that that song?
- 1:54:51But here's my issue is that, even though we know it's a musical,
- 1:54:58I'm really tired of this past year and this year with musicals coming out and
- 1:55:04them not marketing as a musical, because that's still not marketing it as a
- 1:55:09musical. You can hear the music in the background and yeah, it's but
- 1:55:13it's not marketing it as a musical. So someone who didn't know that it
- 1:55:16was a musical already from reading it would not after seeing that trailer. And
- 1:55:20I'm sure there'll be more trailers. But the movies that have come out with
- 1:55:26the color purple, unless you actually knew, right, girls walk music.
- 1:55:35Yes, I was in the theater, like, oh my, I did
- 1:55:46because I'm not I'm not a musical person, but like I love dream girls
- 1:55:53and and so there's a few Wicked, but I'm not a musical person,
- 1:55:57so going into Wonka was like, I wasn't looking for that. No,
- 1:56:02when I found out that Meng Girls was one they need to remake Ngols to
- 1:56:06begin with. When I found it was musical, I said, they will
- 1:56:09not see me and I like, I like, I like a good musical.
- 1:56:18Yeah, Like my wife loves the color purple mm hmm. But she
- 1:56:25didn't realize that this latest one was a musical. I knew it was because
- 1:56:29I knew about the stage play. I knew about everything else. But that's
- 1:56:31because I knew. You didn't want her It wasn't yeah exactly. When I
- 1:56:38told her, she was like, well, I don't want to watch it
- 1:56:40because it's a musical, and that would seem to be the general consistence when
- 1:56:44a lot of people went to see it. They were like, I wasn't
- 1:56:46prepared for that. I wasn't either. But the difference about the color purple
- 1:56:53and these other ones is that it was good that it was good, Like
- 1:57:00she's still when she sid she still watched the movie and was like, that
- 1:57:03was pretty good because one it was it's a good musical. Yeah, you
- 1:57:10had you had the different like I watched Wanka and I'm like a lot to
- 1:57:16do with that though. Yeah, I liked his rendition of her imagination I'm
- 1:57:21not gonna like you. That's the only song I know. But I was
- 1:57:27not expecting that at all. And I was like, they sitting here doing
- 1:57:30Dad's numbers of ship. I was like, what's that? Like? The
- 1:57:35person I went with was sitting there like she went to sleep for half.
- 1:57:40I was looking at her like you, but can I join you? It's
- 1:57:49just wrong. They're not marketing it right. It's not everybody the most in
- 1:57:56the seat and then the anger after. That's why. That's why I'm like,
- 1:58:02I want to see how much passed and if there is a teenage Bruce
- 1:58:09Wayne at all, how much Because when the first movie came out, I
- 1:58:13don't know about y'all, we had police outside our theater because they were afraid
- 1:58:16how much influences move. Remember there were there were crazy ass Batman shooters coming
- 1:58:20to theaters and stuff. So yeah, police because nature, because of the
- 1:58:26nature of the film, we had police stationed that like theaters out sticks in
- 1:58:30case anybody was influenced by the film. I don't know if this one's gonna
- 1:58:34have that same magnitude. If they are gonna do it through song, at
- 1:58:39least give me like a trailer later on or a sneak peak of how the
- 1:58:45plot plays in and out of a musical number, so I can kind of
- 1:58:47gauge. Don't just give me like this is this is my This is my
- 1:58:54pre thoughts on this film. From what I'm gathering from the trailer is that
- 1:58:59the music numbers that we're getting isn't actually happening. It's in there, and
- 1:59:08I'm willing to accept that because that makes sense. Yeah, you know,
- 1:59:15but I feel like I feel like mm hmm know you say say that against
- 1:59:24I said, but is this is that still going to take up most of
- 1:59:27the movie. That's the other question, Like is it going to be like
- 1:59:31I like Wanka, every time you turn around, it's another song, Like
- 1:59:33I don't want to I don't even want the sequel, but like nobody the
- 1:59:42first one was okay, it was it's a deep dive in a mental breakdown
- 1:59:45whatever. But I don't need a sequel of that. Mm hm. You
- 1:59:49know. And if this is one of those artistic visions where this is you
- 1:59:55know, you're already it already looks like you're changing Harley's backstory and army like
- 2:00:00that. So I'm already I was willing to give it a chance. Yet
- 2:00:11you're trying, You're trying to convince me. I was like, Kira,
- 2:00:14No, but I like I do like wrong. I love music, musicals.
- 2:00:21I am willing to give a lot of stuff a chance. But Harley
- 2:00:27is my fucking girl. Like I love me some storm, but when I
- 2:00:30want to be crazy, Harley is the way to cancer around in here.
- 2:00:35The way that they created Harley was it's nothing, it's nothing her, It's
- 2:00:43just no, it's a character development situation. Like No, We've people,
- 2:00:47even general public, who's been introduced to Harley. No, Harley was like,
- 2:00:53no, she's she's she's there, She's that just happens to fall for
- 2:01:00this this guy. She still damaged herself. We didn't really say about a
- 2:01:04therapist when I when a psychia first can turn you to the way you're thinking
- 2:01:08and going. You know what, you got a point listen, look some
- 2:01:11of that right in the head. I'm gonna tell you that straight out.
- 2:01:13I mean hard that's already had her medical run and you let her run through
- 2:01:18people's minds this whole film. Yeah, along with being crazy. It could
- 2:01:24be fun, but again, I just need to see how we're transitioning in
- 2:01:27and out of the musical numbers at least once, because apparently there's like ten
- 2:01:30or fifteen in here, So it looks like it could be worse. That's
- 2:01:38too much, but it could be. It could be sucker Punt. That's
- 2:01:45just damn. I bootlegged it fast forward through that. I'm just saying Sucker
- 2:01:54Punch was all in her head. And literally the whole thing was her escaping
- 2:01:58a mental mental patient trying escape. It's all our head. Now we're getting
- 2:02:01a sequel to a mental patient that's trying to escape. That's all on his
- 2:02:05head. But wasn't she hasn't got the old scramble at the end. I
- 2:02:11mean yeah, yeah, the the hero or heroine at the end didn't really
- 2:02:18didn't make it out. I mean, I will say this for Sucker Punch.
- 2:02:23Watch it just to look at how pretty it is. We will visually,
- 2:02:27yeah, visually stunning, scrappy. Yeah, Snyder's a fantastic cinematographer,
- 2:02:36fan fantastic classic, But storyline wise, all over the place, it's believe
- 2:02:45no, believe us. Look at Rebel Moon right now, I haven't watched
- 2:02:49that he was coming two days then I saw all everybody what everybody would tell
- 2:02:56us, like, I'm good. Yeah, and Netflix doubled down hard on
- 2:03:02Rubble Moon, so they paid a ton of money for it. Yeah,
- 2:03:08I go watch. I need to see more of the film. It's it
- 2:03:13was a nice teaser for what it is and awful what what it's following.
- 2:03:17But I just if you you're telling me it's going to be a musical.
- 2:03:23But the next if it was like it was, if it was like Wicked,
- 2:03:34I give it a shot because I've never seen Wicked, saw for the
- 2:03:38first time and loved it. Do something like that. I watch it,
- 2:03:42but no, I just don't. It was fire though, But Wicked is
- 2:03:46an actual like music. Yeah, it was the actual this That's why I'm
- 2:03:53not Yeah, Wicked was actually good. Like you could y'all know that soundtrack?
- 2:03:59You know, I don't see nobody downloaded the on his goddamn Patrick Newman
- 2:04:04says, did first joke get criticized? Patrick Newman said, didn't the first
- 2:04:12joker get criticized for empathizing and sympathizing with the white terrorists? Slash in mind?
- 2:04:19It is basically That's why I said we had outside at almost every theater
- 2:04:23that there was a lot of things. I remember that because that's happened once
- 2:04:30before, and that you know, they're just like, Okay, My thing
- 2:04:32is with this particular version of the Joker, did the insult come first?
- 2:04:36Or did the Joker come first? Do you understand what I'm saying? Like,
- 2:04:40insuls were already associating themselves with the character Joker to begin with, period,
- 2:04:45and here comes this movie with a joke with the Joker in it.
- 2:04:47Look, even in the first film and not a second you see them being
- 2:04:51basically idolized, Yeah, by lesser than people who aren't mentally there, you
- 2:04:58know, down in their luck or whatever the case may be, whatever their
- 2:05:01argument is. And it was supposed to be, I mean, the whole
- 2:05:06person was supposed to be shining a light on mental illness. But really it
- 2:05:10got twisted. No, it was percent got twisted at that at some point
- 2:05:15it wasn't just about his own experience with mental illness. It absolutely wasn't switching
- 2:05:25that movie. I can't remember exactly when, but you just started to see
- 2:05:29like what it was. It was just down and we started figuring out which
- 2:05:34parts happened and which part was a lie. Yeah. In fact, when
- 2:05:39it became that deep dive of his mental breakdown, Yeah, okay, what
- 2:05:44wasn't you realized he never had a girlfriend. It was up for everybody because
- 2:05:47I remember even all the thing pieces that came out about like why all the
- 2:05:54black women and why all of the and I was just like, ain't that
- 2:06:00right? And I was just like, okay, like this this was It
- 2:06:04was a lot of and the fact to put people in fear, but at
- 2:06:11the end just ended up being a great performance and thought provoking. It got
- 2:06:15awards. So it's coming off the back of that, and then you're telling
- 2:06:18us at a time where some of us are burnt out or tired of the
- 2:06:21bait and switch. By the way, it's a musical. We're not going
- 2:06:26to say it's tragedy. We just just gotta let us be. It's not
- 2:06:30going to be great. And I wouldn't doubt that the music I say,
- 2:06:33I wouldn't doubt that the music itself during the film is good. I wouldn't
- 2:06:39doubt that. I'm sure the music selection is pretty good. It's just the
- 2:06:43fact that you're doing this. They started out when they said this, they
- 2:06:48started out, oh, it's a musical. Everybody, Yeah, and how
- 2:06:56do you translate that? It's weird to me and to have to do this
- 2:07:02again because once again, first one, okay, this is, this is,
- 2:07:06this is okay. But I don't need I don't need another one.
- 2:07:11And I said that walking out theater. I don't need another one, and
- 2:07:14then they announced another one. I'm like, but why because some because like
- 2:07:18well, like I said, Tafari says, it was the fact that those
- 2:07:21accolades that got behind it, that were someone in Hollywood set there and said,
- 2:07:26we need a sequel and a lot. What we're gonna do cast Holly
- 2:07:30Quinn, Let's make it a musical. Let's get Letty got got. Don't
- 2:07:33get me wrong, gott Is. She's a phenomenal singer. She I mean
- 2:07:39in the movie she's playing. She's actually been very well in the roles.
- 2:07:42I have no doubt in my mind she could play Harley Quinn. But in
- 2:07:46this particular vehicle choice was not suited for her. Wait shows on Max,
- 2:08:00Wait till it comes to bax mighty days probably better off. So, yeah,
- 2:08:05I didn't watch the first one, and I'm not interested in this one.
- 2:08:09I watch the first one was a bad movie. It's a it wasn't
- 2:08:16it's happened, and it's a bit of a down Yeah, like my last
- 2:08:20marriage. Gotcha. Yeah, I'm really not interested. Thank you very much
- 2:08:28for that. That's one understandable. Like I think it was a heavy movie,
- 2:08:33Like it was just like what man like. I mean, I didn't
- 2:08:37think it was bad either, but yeah, immediately when it came out it
- 2:08:41was musical, I was like, what what where are we going? Why?
- 2:08:46This is what I'm talking about? Sew Patrick says it perfect. I'm
- 2:08:48way more interested in the penguins. Exactly good, because that's different that we've
- 2:08:58seen it with God despite its flaws with Gotham. To show Gotham, we've
- 2:09:03seen certain things being set up and we liked the way it was set up.
- 2:09:07We didn't like execution, but certain things were set up in But I
- 2:09:11also want to add to that too, it's not the grotesque penguin, it's
- 2:09:15the gangster penguin. That's what we're gonna That's the whole thing. We're actually
- 2:09:20gonna be seeing the whole underworld of Gotham City. See, you are going
- 2:09:22to see the Maronis, you are gonna see the fishbacks. You may see
- 2:09:26as as you may see Professor Pigg if they decide to include him in this,
- 2:09:31you may see a whole lot of the less I mean, I'm hoping
- 2:09:33Matt Reeves this then some input in on it, but I hope we do
- 2:09:39see a lot of the lesser known underbosses, especially from the Silver Age of
- 2:09:43Batman, that would work perfectly for this show. So yeah, the Penguin
- 2:09:48is gonna The penguin by itself is more interesting to watch one of the more
- 2:09:52interesting him. Uh, mister Freeze and probably Riddler are more interesting characters.
- 2:10:01I want to seezz though too well, that that is too early, but
- 2:10:07that's actually that's actually could work within Matt reeves current universe right now because he
- 2:10:11would still be seen as a he would be seen as a lesser known serial
- 2:10:15killer. So technically he still can be around but not actually given them the
- 2:10:18monarkery at even hush oh yeah, hush around you know. So that's right
- 2:10:26around the uh shoot, his story is right around the same time. So
- 2:10:31you're right, So this is it just depends on the writing. It's it's
- 2:10:35how you build this story up at the end of the day. And this
- 2:10:39is why gun is like that is its own separate thing like it's He's like,
- 2:10:45I'm not even worried about those two characters right now. I'm doing something
- 2:10:48completely different over here. They are Elsewherel's this is what I'm working in exactly,
- 2:10:52exactly, Creature commandos. Give me a second. So, uh,
- 2:11:01Season thirteen, Episode one, Right, are we starting with a bang?
- 2:11:07Yeah? We ended, we end, and yet we end on joking,
- 2:11:11talk on it, talk on it. Why don't you have I'm gonna say,
- 2:11:15with the whole thing, why don't like it's Club fifty four over now?
- 2:11:20You up? Dan, I mean curing about the whole disco ball thing
- 2:11:30going mm hmmm. So probably got du Brown playing in the background somewhere.
- 2:11:35We're gonna take a quick break, We're gonna come back, We're gonna do
- 2:11:37our sign offs, and uh, we'll see you. So bring home.

- 2:18:41not, that's the question. If you see the last video posted, they
- 2:18:45would shoot mine out every other semester. It was the windows at our waffle
- 2:18:48house were what the car. The cabbages were to that man's cart. No
- 2:18:52one ever got hurt. The glass just never stayed. That's all. Look,
- 2:18:58if you've ever seen the stand up from Wood Junior where he talks about
- 2:19:01street Fighter in the fish Market, then why not have the waffle house on
- 2:19:07teching? Why why not just it's not street Fighter Bortal Combat. One of
