  Speaker 2: We've had the Dune one, we had the Wolverine Head one,
• 0:31
  we had the hammer one.

  Speaker 1: That we did. This is a chest of some sort.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: It's a s please, it's a sarcophic which opens on
• 0:42
  Christmas Day, by the way, just in time for Christmas.

  Regal Cinema's latest collectible popcorn bucket is here, the Nosferatu
• 0:51
  Popcorn Sarcophagus. Because the coffin bucket, the coffin goes into
• 0:56
  the coffic.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: That's how that works for the Robert Egger's horror film,
• 1:01
  or in this case, popcorn goes into the sarcophices.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: And this is.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Priced at thirty one dollars with popcorn thirty one or
• 1:10
  twenty six dollars.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: If you just how big is that?
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Well, there's a hand next to it kind of for size.
• 1:17
  So that's a good size an idea.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: You know a lot of popcorn.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: It looks like about a medium popcorn.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's going to be hard to manage on.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Your lab easier than the others, I think.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: You know I wanted for Gladiator, I wanted like a
• 1:31
  severed head that was you know.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: The Gladiator one was actually more wasn't It was the

  coliseum and it had the interactive thing on your phone
• 1:41
  for the Gladiator one. But this will be on sale Wednesday,
• 1:45
  December eighteenth, and the movie opens on the twenty fifth.
• 1:48
  So let's just say that this one won and we
• 1:51
  can move on. Okay, no more popcorn buckets. As Katie
• 1:54
  pointed out, geek News has become the popcorn bucket News.
• 2:00
  There's more more to report, there is.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: There's more to movies than just popcorn buckets. Yes.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Oh, and, as Bill Frost pointed out, Skeleton Crew, the
• 2:09
  Star Wars show, is dropping today instead of tomorrow, which
• 2:14
  is what it was planned. The first two episodes will
• 2:17
  be dropped today on Disney Plus, and it is being
• 2:21
  referred to as Goonies in Space but with the danger. Okay,
• 2:27
  because when you saw Goonies, you never thought that the
• 2:29
  Goonies were ever in date. Not really, So that's what
• 2:32
  they're gonna do differently. I will say this, the Blue
• 2:34
  Elephant Boy, protect him at all costs.
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: He's adorable.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: He's adorable.
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: His name's Neil, Neil, the Blue el Feel, the little
• 2:45
  Blue Elephant Boy.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: And it's probably spelled n I A L.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: It's an E L.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: I think. Yeah. But he's got a comb over.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: I just noticed. I just noticed that he had hair today. Anyway,
• 3:00
  I guess we've been asking for a live action Voltron
• 3:03
  movie I have for a long time. And the casting
• 3:05
  is continuing and they're gonna start shooting next month. Uh
• 3:09
  so here you go. You got Sterling k Brown, Rita
• 3:13
  Ara John Kim. They joined Henry Cavell. Uh oh, it's
• 3:19
  it's starting in Australia. They're shooting this month. Oh good heavens,
• 3:23
  Laura Gordon, Tim Griffin. That's that's filling out your voltrons
• 3:27
  right there. You need you need five of them, okay,
• 3:30
  to all join up into.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: Ultron Voltron Ultron. What's Ultron Ultron is the Marvel Killer
• 3:38
  Different Killer Rob. Sorry, that's a different thing. And that
• 3:42
  was James Spader, who also has but not a popcorn bucket,
• 3:49
  and he's not as cute.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: No, do we need the radio from Hell?
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: Popcorn bucket.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: No, we have a chicken. We have a chicken. Chicken.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Turn it into a popcorn bucket.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Sure, sure, take some with us on Wednesday when we
• 4:01
  go out. All right, we should buy some bags, you know,
• 4:05
  popcorn and put them in.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: And finally this I did not realize that Mighty Mouse
• 4:11
  has been around since nineteen forty two. I come to
• 4:15
  save the day because I was watching that Saturday Night
• 4:18
  movie about the first episode of Saturday Night Live and
• 4:21
  the guy playing Andy Kaufman.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: I remember to watch and he does and he does.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: The Mighty Mouse routine because I remember seeing that in
• 4:29
  seventy four or whatever it was and going, oh, mine,
• 4:32
  Mighty Mouse is old.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I remember watching Mighty Mouse as a kid
• 4:40
  and not really caring for it that it was just.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Kind of well.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Paramount Animation has called up Ryan Reynolds his Maximum Effort
• 4:52
  production group to finally bring Mighty Mouse to the big screen.
• 4:58
  So they're getting together with Ryan Production company. Will it
• 5:01
  be animated or live a It will be animated. Nineteen
• 5:05
  forty two, the pint size superhero making his debut in
• 5:08
  a short film entitled The Mouse of Tomorrow, and he'd
• 5:13
  go on to star in a bunch of them and
• 5:14
  then on then there was a Saturday Morning cartoon show
• 5:17
  that Ralph Bakshi animated that was pulled off the air
• 5:21
  because for some reason people thought that Mighty Mouse was
• 5:24
  sniffing cocaine. It was I don't recall, I don't recall.
• 5:31
  But anyway, so you're gonna get Mighty Mouse nineteen forty two.
• 5:35
  I wonder if they're doing this just in time before
• 5:37
  the rights expire.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: We should you should dig up the theme song and
• 5:41
  play at that original I can find out. I remember
• 5:45
  the voice, and I want to say it sounds like
• 5:47
  they're Old Raven's croft.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: I suppose it could.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: It's one of those announcery type.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Come to say the day that means that my eighty
• 5:54
  Mouse is on the way, let's see. And then there's
• 5:57
  a lot, a lot of other lyrics to it. See
• 6:01
  and he had a girlfriend Penny right. I don't know.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: This isn't the original?
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Where is this? Oh? I like it? Though?
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: No, Oh no, I can't. I can't find the original anywhere.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: That's what I forgot, though. There's all of that. Mister
• 6:27
  Cruble never hangs around, and then he Mighty Mouse chimes.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Is close that.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: It's close this big side.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: I see, but.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: That's in the movie.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Karen's in the movie.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: And people still don't believe me that Andy Kaufman did that.
• 6:53
  It's on YouTube. Watch it very that was. That was
• 6:56
  three minutes on live television where he.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: And what's funny bout on the record.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: That's all he does. The only looks think the Mighty
• 7:03
  Mouse part. He stood by and then he stops and
• 7:07
  takes a drink of water. It's just brilliant, absolutely brilliant.
• 7:15
  All Right, you're gonna get the Mighty Mouse.
