  Speaker 2: who killed his son Peacemaker with the option of literal
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: p out into another timeline. Peacemaker considers taking his mantle
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: in a better world for him, one that doesn't want

• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Meanwhile, HBO Warder Brothers, they just don't know what to
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: do with their ip, especially the classic Looney Tunes.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: Right, which I'm confused by. I think those are no
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: brainer exactly.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Well, some time ago, I very angrily found out that
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: most of the Classic Looney Tunes were pulled off of
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: HBO Max. But the only ones that are left there
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: were the ones that started in twenty twenty.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: No, no, I want the old one exactly.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Well, seven hundred episodes of the classic catalog have found
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: a new home to b MHM search for a stream
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: streaming homes wound up on tub. You could now find
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: over seven hundred classic Looney Tunes on tub, which means
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: you have to watch a commercial, but they're there.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Well, you had to watch commercials when you saw them before,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: not on HBO Max. No, I mean just.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Okay, but to be swept in to save them from
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: being you know, just in limbo. Now, why does that
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: sound familiar? Well, if you saw Space Jam two, that's
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: the plot of.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: It was.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: It was prophetic where the Tunes franchise world is being
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: threatened with deletion off the fictional Warner three thousand streaming service.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: But instead of Jordan and Lebron saving the day, to
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: be saved the day with the classic Looney Tunes.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: From all reports, Marvel's not speaking.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Nobody is speaking, but from all reports, it looks like
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Deadpool will be an Avenger's Doom Day Doomsday. Okay, now
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: you know how Ryan Reynolds is with his social media.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: He put out an Avenger's logo with an anarchy symbol.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: On top of it.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Oh and so the Hollywood Reporter has been asking their
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: sources and they said, yeah, he's He's going to be
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: in the movie, which is interesting because of the way
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: that Reynolds.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Described the character.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: He says, don't expect Deadpool to be joining the Avengers team,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: though this is something that he has said. I don't
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: think he should ever be an Avenger or an X Man.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: I think Deadpool works so well appearing with the X
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Men and Avengers, but he always needs to stay an outsider.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: His ultimate dream is to be accepted and appreciated, but
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: he can't be accepted. His coping mechanism of deflecting shame
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: through humor works only when used to pave over his
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: many inadequacies. If and when he becomes an Avenger or
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: an X Man, that's the end of his journey, is
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: what Ryan said, So anyway, he's supposedly going to be there.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: I mean a lot of characters are going to be
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: in this doomsday movie, so look for it.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, Alan what's his name, who
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: played Nightcrawler coming Alan Cumming thank you, said that he
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: was very happy to be in this movie and he
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: had a great time shooting it.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Let's see Thunderbolts.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: If you didn't see it, well you'll be able to
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: see it August twenty seventh on Disney.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: Plus, that's weird because Superman came out way after that.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Oh, and it's just now going to come out Superman.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Was that a month ago? Yeah?
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: But yeah, it's Marvel's doing the regular you know, slow
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: release thing.

• 4:48
  Speaker 1: to happen.

• 5:36
  Speaker 3: She can be funny.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: That's a weird one.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but they oh Idris Elba is a man at arms.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, but the latest casting Kristin Wig, That's
• 5:50

  Speaker 2: This latest episode not only plants the seeds what we
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: will eventually see become, you know, the classic James T.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Kirk. He learned some valuable lessons in this episode. But
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: along the.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Way, it's also decided to have a little crossover with

  Speaker 2: the episode, the camera cuts to the wrapped up Enterprise
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: in each establishing shot features if you look, a tiny
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: little tartis a tiny tartis the Doctor's tartest that's blown
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: up there.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: That's what my kid saw that.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but this sets up a joke that's been two
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: years in the making. During the premiere of Cutie Gottwa's
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: inaugural Doctor Who season, he's the fifteenth Doctor. His companion
• 7:06
