• 2:55
  again, crow Nerds dot com thank you word app as they say in these
• 3:00
  internet streets. But yeah, we're back. This is a very special episode.
• 3:04
  I know that people, you know, we're wondering what happened to views
• 3:07
  from the six one, sixth last? So what happened to episode was the
• 3:10
  three? What happened last week? What happened episode three? Yeah, because
• 3:14
  you know, we've been reviewing nit Fury's adventures for the last few weeks and
• 3:19
  then last week we just didn't And so I know some people might have been
• 3:23
  like, yo, what's up. You know, y'all just don't leave us
• 3:25
  hanging. And no, of course we're not gonna leave your hanging, but
• 3:28
  we've had to take a step back. As they say, this is the
• 3:31
  tenth year you know what I mean, the tenth year of four All Nerds
• 3:39
  show formerly known as that other show. And yeah, it's a lot sometimes
• 3:46
  one that's just off the break, you know, doing this show every week
• 3:50
  can be a bit stressful. As much as I love doing it, I
• 3:53
  know, as much as Tai Town I loves doing it, there's a lot
• 3:55
  of work that goes home behind the scenes. You know. We recently started
• 3:59
  doing these shirts and everything that's merged ourselves you know, no longer at that
• 4:02
  other site. You know, shout out to our business partner, Kevin get
• 4:05
  to the peril. But it's been a lot of work doing that, you
• 4:09
  know what I mean. So that's one thing. And then on another note,
• 4:13
  there is the WGA, the Writer's Deal of America strike, which is
• 4:17
  going on right now. If you follow me on Twitter, you see my
• 4:19
  profile picture is, you know, supporting the WGA. I've been doing everything
• 4:24
  I can to support them, and I've been sharing a lot of content and
• 4:27
  information from lots of folks in the WA and all the strike, everything happens
• 4:32
  with the strike, I've been sharing own a regular basis, Yes, and
• 4:35
  it obviously affects both of us, you know, directly as creatives and everything.
• 4:41
  And we are also on the other side of defense, where we are
• 4:44
  journalists to a degree, where we're you know, historians, we're all talking
• 4:47
  about everything culture, yeah, you know all that, and so we're like
• 4:55
  working at the behest or you know, in conjunction with these giant the operations
• 5:00
  with the ops. So yeah, you know, we are working for the
• 5:04
  ops, you know in a lot of cases, you know, shout outs
• 5:08
  to Disney. We love y'all, But you know, they ain't paying these
• 5:11
  people. You know, Disney just did this, I mean even Secret Invasion
• 5:14
  y'all. Like the intro was done by Ai Shure, there was somebody.
• 5:19
  I mean a lot of intros are to me, but that's beside the point.
• 5:21
  Like, you know, some people are sitting there someone type that stripped
• 5:26
  in. You know, it's like, YO, give us this year.
• 5:28
  Yeah, that's prompt, but still a lot less workers were involved. Now
• 5:31
  a lot less more people are out of work because and this at the same
• 5:35
  time when writers are on strike that they choose to do this. So really
• 5:40
  just like we don't give a fuck. And that's been one of my big
• 5:44
  issues with this strike is that a lot of people and I understand why don't
• 5:47
  give a fuck. And as time moves on, and as it goes on,
• 5:51
  less and less people will give because people got other things to worry about.
• 5:56
  The news is always giving you something else to worry about. The cycle
• 5:59
  keeps moving. Right now, it's going on going on like three it's an
• 6:05
  eighty seventh day. I want to say, I look it up. Yea,
• 6:10
  So right now the bithiness in the news is the Actors Guild might go
• 6:14
  on stripe joining them, because everyone is having issues with these opts right now,
• 6:17
  with these big corporations, So everyone's trying to figure it out, what's
• 6:21
  trying to happen with AI, all these other issues that are coming up.
• 6:26
  The fact that writers in general, I mean with the writer's gild, there's
• 6:30
  just so many issues the way the systems being run. It's just very difficult
• 6:32
  for anyone to come up from the bottom to make it to the top,
• 6:36
  even once you get in the door. And it used to not be like
• 6:39
  that, but now it's very tough. So and I mean getting in the
• 6:43
  doors damn near impossible. So once you get in the door and people like
• 6:46
  yourself and Mellow literally had a once in a lifetime opportunity of how you guys
• 6:51
  got in the door, that's not normal the way York story, and you
• 6:55
  know, I won't go into the weeds on that, but the point is
• 6:58
  it's not it's not easy on a red the day, and y'all went through
• 7:01
  like the catacombs of what the possibilities could have been for you guys to become
• 7:06
  writers. So yeah, and through that you learn how difficult it is in
• 7:12
  the industry. And so that's why I mean, I'm so for this writer
• 7:16
  strike, and so that's why it's a problem, because we're sitting here promoting
• 7:19
  these shows, promoting these streaming services that are making all these millions, all
• 7:25
  these billions, and will not pay these people who are allowing them to make
• 7:30
  all this money. Yeah, so it becomes this fucking conundrum because it's like,
• 7:33
  I want to watch Secret Invasion. You know, I'm interested in it.
• 7:36
  I love the MCU, I love Marvel in general, so I want
• 7:40
  to watch it. I know people who worked on a lot of these shows
• 7:43
  for that matter, so it's like I want to support them. Yeah,
• 7:46
  I could say it's a catch twenty two because you want to support them.
• 7:47
  And also all this stuff is predates the strike, so it's being released now,
• 7:53
  you're seeing it now. But this this has been in the just in
• 7:56
  terms of being written, shot, editing, whatever, it's a it's been
• 8:00
  done. They just press play and have it on Disney Plus, and of
• 8:03
  course just want to update. The strike has been going on for two months,
• 8:05
  one week in three days. Yeah, okay, So with that that's
• 8:11
  where we run into this issue. And then at the same time, we
• 8:13
  also just had to take a step back and be like, look, you
• 8:16
  know, how are we doing this? Are we do? We have to
• 8:20
  sit here and do these reviews, reviews our diamond doesn't on the net,
• 8:22
  you know, let's be honest. And at this point, even from people
• 8:26
  of color, they're becoming a diamond, doesn't. I don't think anyone doesn't
• 8:30
  like us, No, but I also think our energy can be put to
• 8:33
  doing things a different and better way, because I don't think anyone doesn't like
• 8:37
  us in general. So yeah, and also it's because we're speaking like candidly
• 8:45
  to everyone's listening, just about the monotony of it, right, like kind
• 8:50
  of kind of cheadmill running right, like, yeah, it's it's and and
• 8:54
  and in one way, it's like, Okay, it's a comfort zone for
• 8:58
  a lot of people and us sometimes it's like you know what to expect,
• 9:00
  you know how we're gonna do it. Okay, great, you know how
• 9:03
  it's gonna go. But then it's also like, but it's always the same
• 9:07
  thing all the time, right, And sure you can say, well,
• 9:11
  if it ain't broke, don't fix it, but it's also just like,
• 9:13
  but what if I get broke because I'm still doing stuff the same way and
• 9:16
  not finding as much joy as I normally would, right, So what we
• 9:22
  have been talking about is different ways we can present our views of these shows
• 9:26
  and still talk about it, still do reviews, but maybe not in the
• 9:30
  same exact format a different way. So that's why we're we took a step
• 9:33
  back and it was like, Okay, how can we go about this and
• 9:35
  work. We're actually going to be trying a lot of different things to do
• 9:37
  it. You're gonna see more things like videos from from us, especially me
• 9:41
  and yeah and yeah, we talked about that, so you're gonna be seeing
• 9:46
  a lot more. But you know, also it's just like we're not gonna
• 9:50
  stop podcasting. It's also just like what can we do better? Right?
• 9:54
  And we often ask everyone who listens, like what do you want? How
• 9:56
  do you want to hear it from us? I know you like us and
• 10:00
  our viewpoint and how we deliver that's fine, but like, it's there a
• 10:03
  different and better way that that you know you would find enjoyable. We've have
• 10:07
  our own ideas and we're probably going to implement some of that, but we're
• 10:11
  also curious as to what everyone listening things. Yes for real, because we
• 10:16
  like doing a forty minute review of a show like Secret evasion, which this
• 10:20
  week because like twenty something minutes. Sam. First of all, it was
• 10:22
  wild short, and I was just like, like I was. It was
• 10:26
  a little bit of jarring. I said, Oh, that's it, okay,
• 10:28
  great, Yeah, But also this show has been a bit slow for
• 10:33
  me. It's been boring on the uptake, I told Ben, I mean
• 10:39
  the last episode I fell asleep on and I wasn't tired. So I don't
• 10:43
  know what that means in this grand scheme of things, but that's how I
• 10:46
  felt this this week's episode. What episode four, Let's cool? That's Cool's
• 10:54
  school? Like now, everything you say, I fully agree with you,
• 11:00
  Like I think this show has had some things that has done well, like
• 11:03
  this week. I really enjoyed the conversation between Nick and his wife. Yes,
• 11:09
  that was actually really good. Yeah. I wish that could have gone
• 11:11
  on a little bit longer and we had less to some of the ham handedness
• 11:16
  of once again Taylor's you know, like singing and dancing from mass out here,
• 11:20
  like why it's so oh my god? Like is Taylor's a coon?
• 11:24
  Like I don't understand. No, not a coon, what's the word he
• 11:28
  is? Assimilationist? No, no, no. In the boondocks. What's
• 11:31
  the guy that talks like that? And he got his eye uncle Rockets?
• 11:35
  Is he the of Okay, maybe he's a And the only reason I say
• 11:43
  that is because and yes, y'all were talking about ult invasion right now,
• 11:46
  we're quick and just what we've seen thus far. Because the man and i'd
• 11:54
  like you said, tap dancing like he really people believed in humanity, Like,
• 11:58
  oh, they're gonna see heart, nigga, they're gonna understand that we
• 12:01
  hear for them. And I look like the way he don't look at him,
• 12:05
  I said, nigga, they don't care about you. What what did
• 12:09
  Michael Jacks say? All I want to say is that the fans care about
• 12:13
  us. We don't care Taylors and that just don't really care. And yes,
• 12:16
  will there be people who will see your point of view and try to
• 12:20
  help you. Yes, in typical Disney fashion. Sure, after half of
• 12:24
  y'all niggas is dead. Shout out to my man well Burn, who thinks
• 12:28
  to show we were talking about it earlier today and he thinks the show is
• 12:31
  during the end with the president given the speech, straws are cool, basically,
• 12:35
  you know, he literally said, and I Honestly, I felt very
• 12:41
  very stereotypical Michael Xis when he said that shit. Because when he was just
• 12:46
  like, if we just we just chip in and do our partner, they'll
• 12:50
  see our heart. I said, nigga, grab a gun and shoot.
• 12:52
  What are you talking about? That's when I when I said earlier in our
• 12:56
  review, when I'm like a funk with GRAVI I'm like, all that raw
• 12:58
  ro don't mean shit to me. That's not you. Not about that action.
• 13:01
  You're about that slow change, which is sometimes necessarily I get it,
• 13:05
  but and maybe it's as a as a black American person knowing the history of
• 13:09
  what I know and also my personality combined with that, I'm like, fuck
• 13:13
  that piece of shit, bro. You are squall. You got fucking superpowers
• 13:18
  off rip and that's before your superscull fucking use that shit. Shit I would
• 13:24
  get into my god. See, that's my thing. My problem with this
• 13:28
  whole thing is like Gravick is way too They're both way to extreme, Like
• 13:31
  Taylor's way too much of a sucker, correct and Gravick, Yes, it's
• 13:35
  way too much of a monster. The terrorists, yeah, because all like
• 13:39
  they like Gravick one already the nigga got Chernobyl. You can go live there.
• 13:45
  Nobody's trying to come fuck with you in it. You could have just
• 13:48
  lived there and just shut and then okay, you can show your scroll face
• 13:52
  all you want and then whenever you want, you can go out of the
• 13:54
  society and live it up. Nigga, I'm Drake, I'll check you.
• 14:00
  But that's what I'm saying. I'm showing that the club is Drake and it's
• 14:03
  twenty goons, you know what I mean, And niggas is letting me in
• 14:05
  giving me bottles. I'm living it up that night and I'm going back to
• 14:09
  Chernobyl. So I do agree with you. Like even though I like graphics
• 14:13
  energy, it's too much. It's way too much. It's ridiculous. And
• 14:18
  that's the other hand, he's he's too soft to me, and that's the
• 14:20
  problem because it's like you have this that's why the show to me, it's
• 14:24
  like it struggles to keep my interests because graphic it's just all the way wrong.
• 14:28
  There's no way I can say, oh, yeah, okay, I
• 14:31
  can see that. Like I said, once you start talking about nuke and
• 14:35
  dogs, you lost me fan. So I can't really agree like like the
• 14:39
  four legged animals. Yeah, like dogs, like dogs. You cannot touch
• 14:43
  my dogs. No, you can't touch dogs, like what they done to
• 14:46
  you that you know what I mean? You can't touch birds, like,
• 14:48
  there's a lot of things in nature that I just like, No, you
• 14:52
  can't birds, trees, dog. You can't be out here nuke and trees.
• 14:56
  Dog. No, No, I can't. But I get it.
• 15:00
  That's no. And I can't imagine that's how his plan it is either.
• 15:03
  But whatever beside the point, right, it's just made his ship don't made
• 15:07
  no sense, And because of that, I can't really get with it.
• 15:11
  This whole furious, tired and washed thing is like getting boring. We know
• 15:16
  he's not gonna be that tired or washed where he's get murd and then it's
• 15:20
  just like graphic this episode has super stroll powers, but for some reason doesn't
• 15:26
  just unleash them all and kill the president. He used arguably one of the
• 15:31
  weakest powers at least not weak overall, but the weakest in that situation.
• 15:37
  Like he did a little group razzle dazzle and then that was it. And
• 15:41
  I'm like, you could have wiped them off the face of the earth.
• 15:43
  But is group razzle dazzle and you could have that with group. Yes,
• 15:48
  but like who he has the Extrogen project, he has Group, he has
• 15:50
  some other extream extre e extremis, some other stuff. He got the he
• 15:54
  got the Thanos kid, the big giant strong one, and he got some
• 16:00
  ice giant ship or something. Right, he's a forest giant. Yeah.
• 16:04
  I I just want to go back real quick to what the what I really
• 16:08
  did, Like when that conversation between Nick Fury and his wife, do you
• 16:14
  think, and this is just an offhand question, do you think for all
• 16:18
  the years that this scroll has assumed the life of this black woman, that
• 16:22
  she was able to understand and adopt what it means to be black? Yes,
• 16:26
  like she understand Like when they were talking, I was she was giving
• 16:30
  me like I was just like, you know, just certain things just as
• 16:33
  and I'm like black Americans particularly, but black people that we just inherently know
• 16:38
  by just by virtue of living with each other, socializing all the other stuff.
• 16:42
  And there's a there's a cadence of blackness that can't be taught. Right,
• 16:48
  Was she able to pick up on that? Was she giving you that
• 16:52
  a little bit? Yeah, she was a little bit like like she understood
• 16:55
  the code. Like I don't, ye I felt that, but I think
• 16:57
  and that's for my whole him with Taylos is just Taylor's clearly understands the code
• 17:03
  of the streets. He understands that race is an issue in this world.
• 17:07
  And yet he's like, oh, you know, but these shape shifters will
• 17:11
  be adopted, nigga. What I feel like she fully understands, you know.
• 17:15
  I think her choosing to be a black woman and going under that you
• 17:19
  know, pressure is part of it. Like another one the strongs playing roads,
• 17:23
  the you know, I guess the woman's a woman. Yeah, Like
• 17:29
  she was stressed. She was like, fuck, I gotta put on this
• 17:30
  road face again and go out of rand these fucking people and this, you
• 17:34
  know, and I'm a nigger, you know what I mean. Like I
• 17:40
  mean, wouldn't you be like man, you know, like if you got
• 17:41
  to go be a black person in America, you know what I mean,
• 17:45
  and you're not, it's an old dog. It ain't like you know,
• 17:48
  like if you're not and then you got to be, that's you know,
• 17:52
  that's stressed. I would pay you could just rip people's heads off to imagine
• 17:56
  that to your s you could just like slap these niggas across the room,
• 18:00
  and the white people looking crazy at you because you know you walk in the
• 18:02
  room. Gravic was punching bulletproof glass to get the president out of with no
• 18:07
  problem, and he was already fucked up, like reverting, reverting, like
• 18:14
  humidity hits natural hair. It was like Hollywood Shuffle, and the nigga took
• 18:21
  his Jerry Curl at the fade away from him. Please, let's please.
• 18:26
  And you have not seen Hollywood Shuffle, have you? I have. I
• 18:30
  watched it years ago. When you when I when I watching, I did.
• 18:36
  But okay, well yeah, yeah, I know what a dude.
• 18:37
  You know that's Jerry Curl and it's all pristine, and that shi is one
• 18:41
  of the funniest shots in movie history because it's like Robert Townsend has his activator
• 18:45
  and uh Kenan Ivory, Wayne's planning to do it and his so his Jerry
• 18:49
  Curl's pure stree earlier. Yes, but it's in every shot they cut back
• 18:53
  to Robert, and then when they cut back to Keenan, it's worse,
• 18:56
  worse than worse worse, it's bigger and bigger, it's taking more afro or
• 19:00
  more and more. Well that's what Gravick was doing when he got shot in
• 19:07
  the army. Taylor's thinking whatever the f and then you know, and that's
• 19:11
  when I'm like, I'm like, that's so naive and unnecessary to be so
• 19:17
  soft as Taylor's because I'm like, in the fucking the same fucking fight where
• 19:21
  a moment ago you were shooting at Gravick, Grabbic can assume the view graphic
• 19:26
  can assume the personhood of a random shoulder that's on your side and infiltrate.
• 19:30
  It was seconds I forgot the nigga was not over there no more. If
• 19:34
  I'm sure, if I watched that scene back, I will see when he
• 19:37
  walked over and change and shape shifted that power. That's why I said that
• 19:41
  was me. Yeah me, Nika. Yeah No, you can't. There's
• 19:47
  no way humanity is going to accept that. Like I get it, the
• 19:52
  MCU. Humanity has been through a lot of shit, but no, no,
• 19:57
  fam you could be any one instantly and then not be you know,
• 20:06
  right, Yeah, Drake run up slaps some woman on the street. It's
• 20:11
  the deep fake in real life. Oh my god, it's like the words,
• 20:14
  that's what that's what's crazy about because people is getting hemmed up by deep
• 20:18
  fix online. Imagine that in real life, instantaneous at any given point that's
• 20:25
  your neighbor, any point that makes them bad. But that's just the mentality
• 20:30
  that And people don't like people that look right like just like them. So
• 20:33
  what people think they're gonna like you as a family That that's a negative viewpoint.
• 20:37
  But I'm just being fucking real. Let's be real. You could ruin
• 20:42
  anyone's life instantly, you know, sex tapes could slapping people on the street.
• 20:49
  You love to slap people. I can see where you're gonna do when
• 20:52
  you're a come Like if you just imagine, like you know, Union squear
• 20:56
  Drake runs up out of this in subway, you know someone's gonna have it
• 21:00
  on record, and I got got got it on care. I think it's
• 21:07
  like I was in Turks, best I ever had and it runs off.
• 21:12
  Okay, But even like, even if you and I speaking on this from
• 21:18
  a vacuum, like and again from from the real world perspective, we're also
• 21:23
  speaking very stereotypically and negatively about it, like and we're speaking in hypotheticals work
• 21:30
  that any President Obama couldn't convince me that one if he's like Yo, a
• 21:34
  million strolls from A through FAM like Obama, I guess like I mes Nah,
• 21:45
  Barry, I can't get FAM. I cannot. That's a little while,
• 21:51
  bro. And I'm saying like just us in a hypothetical or having a
• 21:57
  hard even jokes, we're having a hard time. I'm accepting that what makes
• 22:00
  paylos think? But all they know like you understanding black experience, but you
• 22:07
  don't understand that you're not gonna be accepting no matter how much good you do.
• 22:11
  Will there be people who fuck with you, walk with you? Sure?
• 22:14
  Is it gonna be enough? All right? I've got two questions so
• 22:18
  we can get out of this to keep this as short as street as possible.
• 22:22
  One is Taylo's dead? No what, I don't know how it's gonna
• 22:26
  happen. They gonna they gonna do him like they did. What's the nigga?
• 22:33
  What's his name? Um? That was in walking Dad that got free
• 22:37
  and he shouldn't have made it. Glenn. They're gonna Glenn that nigga.
• 22:41
  They already Glenda. They didn't Glenn. And that's why. Okay, let's
• 22:45
  go back to that real kick because you and I spoke offline about this.
• 22:48
  Yeah, I told you over and over she was not Damn. I pretty
• 22:52
  much figured too, And I'm just I just accepted it was terrible. But
• 22:56
  you know I didn't know it's because she you know, Yeah, I will
• 23:00
  give him credit back. She got super sold. Yeah, that made sense.
• 23:04
  I'll give him. I'll give him the credit. Told you that happened.
• 23:07
  Yeah, Now Taylor's has no access to that machine. You don't know
• 23:11
  what's happening though, that man is dead. If he ain't dead, I'm
• 23:15
  like, no, this all right? Anyway? Second question, how long
• 23:18
  has Rhodes been a scrawl all his life? That's why my thing is though,
• 23:26
  like you can tell no see wait, that's why he didn't understand blackness.
• 23:30
  So when my man said give me back my roadie, roads are just
• 23:33
  like yeah, okay, but my thing is like the longest say, for
• 23:41
  example, he has been a scroll for like years years, man right to
• 23:45
  say he has been a scroll for like years and years. Where's the real
• 23:48
  roadie? And what already dead? If it's been years and years, he
• 23:52
  did he just locked up in like Jesus, you know what I'm saying.
• 23:56
  Not real like like is he Earth? He in stasis like these in the
• 24:00
  basement? Is this after end game? Like it's been a few years since
• 24:04
  end game? Now, Wait, so we're going with the assumption that perhaps
• 24:08
  Rodi has been a scroll for years. I'm saying five plus five plus,
• 24:14
  you're going before you know, during the blip, at some point he got
• 24:18
  replaced. No, like during the five years he got replaced. Yeah,
• 24:22
  and so that means the Rodie we saw an end game was a scroll.
• 24:26
  Then that's actually a huge opening for scrolls in general. Like the blip happened,
• 24:32
  and they just assumed identity of half of Earth. But they but they
• 24:37
  also couldn't because the niggas dropped blipped, you know, you couldn't be like,
• 24:41
  yo, I'm replacing this nigga, you know what I mean? When
• 24:44
  he got snapped, that's I'm saying. When because half the strolls got snapped
• 24:48
  two one, Well, okay, I forgot all of it. I forgot
• 24:52
  and then they couldn't really jump into the place and somebody because people knew that
• 24:56
  person got snapped for the most part, right, right, right, you're
• 24:57
  right, you're right, you're right. I forgot it was I'm thinking about
• 25:00
  humans only no, all living things, all living things party. So them
• 25:03
  niggas are sitting around wherever they was, and it was just like fuck,
• 25:07
  you know, just like the us, like they allays, you know,
• 25:10
  Drake once again about to slap somebody, And if I d of, it
• 25:14
  would be like this piece sign and I'll be out fade out like that.
• 25:18
  Boy, I would absolutely fade out, Like I tell you, Drake was
• 25:21
  running up the subway stairs and what is your infatuation with Drake slapping people?
• 25:29
  Just? You know? Okay? So yeah, the one assumption is he's
• 25:34
  been a scroll for years, like talking five plus. The other assumption is
• 25:38
  for a relatively shorter period of time. Yes, he's been a scroll,
• 25:42
  and I'm leaning more in that way just because like even when he makes sense,
• 25:48
  but also even when he was talking to Fury, I was, I
• 25:51
  was. I didn't automatically think scroll, but I was like, he's talking
• 25:53
  kind of funny, like why is he so aggy? It was just me
• 25:56
  just saying why is he so aggy? Like I understand that he has a
• 25:59
  job and he's he's he's fed and all this now, but he's too aggy
• 26:03
  for my taste. Even as a former Avenger, like I don't you.
• 26:07
  He was moving too funny styles for him. But hey, there's another question,
• 26:11
  right, she said Furious. I said that their whole marriage was her
• 26:17
  trying to get close, to get close to this dude. Yes, so
• 26:19
  how long have they been married, Fury and his wife? Yeah, then
• 26:23
  they showed what was that the nineties when they that because he was young,
• 26:29
  Fury was the way he looked in them in the Miss Marvel movie. That's
• 26:33
  what's that Fury? That guy. But then when they met to start holler,
• 26:37
  and I think they showed twenty twelve, I'd have to check out.
• 26:38
  Oh yeah, oh when they showed because he has the leather on. Yeah,
• 26:42
  that was like last week Fury Prime. Yeah, when they showed him.
• 26:47
  No, I mean that was Oh that was even more recent. That
• 26:48
  was even that was this week when he That was after the Adventures, after
• 26:52
  the First Avenger, So they knew each other at least since the First Avengers.
• 26:56
  So yeah before that, yeah, before that, I mean before that.
• 27:00
  But like they've been hollering since around the first Avengers, right, yes,
• 27:03
  I think, yeah, that's at the very least, So that means
• 27:10
  could have been a stroll for a long time too, and that's why I'm
• 27:12
  like, I mean, we can't discount it that that that could be a
• 27:15
  thing. Then, but that goes back to what I said, Well,
• 27:18
  if that's the case, is the real road alive or is he shouldn't you
• 27:22
  say he did? But I mean if it's been years saying from arm ain't
• 27:26
  the way they're keeping somebody alive for years? But what though, like,
• 27:30
  yeah, I know, but it's just And then that meant that why is
• 27:33
  graphic so damn body over the world? What would armor Wards be about?
• 27:38
  Then? Like Rhodes would have no connection to anything. Yeah, and that's
• 27:42
  why that might not work either, Yeah, because he would not know any
• 27:45
  of these people. Then you know what I mean, Like if he's been
• 27:48
  out of this before, but since Terrence Howard, that would have strong started.
• 27:57
  Is that not only did Terrace Howard get pruned, you got replaced immediately?
• 28:08
  I think I think when when when Don Cheetle walks in and tells him
• 28:15
  deal with it, that I'm here to deal with it. The first introduction,
• 28:18
  I think it's a scrawl from there. That's my work. Yeah,
• 28:21
  that's my working theory. From the first moment we ever saw Don Cheetle,
• 28:25
  He's been a scrawl. That's the beauty of like asmkinga like like scrolls.
• 28:34
  Right, it's the same thing as the multiverse. It's like you can reckon
• 28:37
  anything. Yeah, it doesn't work though in the Comma Books when the Secretnovation
• 28:41
  and the Comma Books happened. Uh frank uh not Franklin. What's Johnny Storm?
• 28:47
  Johnny Storm, the Human Torch was married. No, because Reid ensue
• 28:53
  son is Franklin. Okay, Yeah, so Johnny Storm is married to a
• 28:57
  woman, Alicia Masters Ali she used to be the Thing's girlfriend and then Alicia
• 29:04
  Masters. I never thought about it like that, but true, think about
• 29:07
  it. It is so Alicia Masters is married to Johnny Storm for like a
• 29:12
  hundred issues or something until Secret Invasion happens, and then the red con comes
• 29:17
  in that she has been a sprawled this whole fucking time. But when you
• 29:21
  go back and read those hundred issues or so, it works in some instance,
• 29:25
  has been in some it's like, well it's film, it's a sprawl
• 29:26
  right here, there's no race. She would have done this, you know.
• 29:29
  Yeah, So it just doesn't work all the way through. It just
• 29:33
  like doesn't curl over all the you know. Yeah, and if you make
• 29:37
  if if Rose has been a sprawl since don Chea who was an introduction as
• 29:41
  hilarious it was, it would be it does not make sense, no at
• 29:45
  all. But I don't think much of this show does either. So we'll
• 29:48
  see what happened. But and again, the shortness of this episode irritated me.
• 29:53
  We only got two left, I mean, and I can't say,
• 29:56
  like peoples like, well you felt super lost one? What does it matter?
• 29:57
  Was long? I'm like, because I'm waiting for some fucking substance and
• 30:00
  I thought I had more time. It's like, oh, we shot tailors
• 30:04
  and seen roll credits and roll ten minutes worth of credits because you need credits
• 30:11
  for every language that the show is streamed in. Yeah, that's the other
• 30:15
  part, because if you look at like the scrub bar, that's the timeline,
• 30:18
  there's a lot of actually like show left. So I'm like, all
• 30:22
  right. Even the end of this one, it was like there was music
• 30:26
  playing on the Black Spring and I was like, okay, there's gonna be
• 30:27
  another Oh no credits, okay, yeah, And we scrubbed forward just in
• 30:32
  cases, you know, sometimes maybe they'll do something for me. No,
• 30:36
  that's it, So I don't know what's happening. I know what's happening,
• 30:38
  and I just don't care. I'm talking about with the structure of this series.
• 30:41
  Oh yeah, yeah, No, we'll see, like like we'd like
• 30:45
  to say on the show, we'd like to finish and then we'll judge.
• 30:48
  So we got two more episodes. Maybe they're gonna pull out some miracles and
• 30:52
  they last two it didn't work for Moon Night. You know, I pretty
• 30:55
  much knew that wasn't gonna pull out the miracles. Sad, I'm sorry now,
• 30:59
  hindsight one outside the fucking did Power Rangers at the end. They did
• 31:03
  a lot, they did Mega Swords at the end, But I also knew
• 31:08
  that it was to be a struggle for them to recoop with those last two
• 31:11
  episodes. So it wasn't you know, I didn't have much suspect this.
• 31:15
  I'm kind of feeling the same way. I'm hoping for the best but expecting
• 31:21
  hot mess. I think that's a perfect wrap up to that, And I
• 31:26
  mean, yeah, what else did we see this week? For last week?
• 31:30
  That was last week and we got to see Mission Impossible. I can't
• 31:37
  remember Mission Impossible the Dead Reckoning Part one, Dead Reckoning, right, Yeah,
• 31:47
  one. I didn't realize that was let me tell you, I didn't
• 31:48
  realize that I walton that bitch. That was a part one. I said
• 31:52
  they cut, they chopped. I didn't realize that. And I'm like,
• 31:55
  they really selling the work on us. Like, but I liked the mission
• 31:59
  impossible sire because I love it and I like it. Tom Cruise is a
• 32:02
  serious because it progressively recognizes how ridiculous and utterly over the top. It is
• 32:09
  similar to a Fast and Furious and it leans into it and it's self aware
• 32:15
  that it is fucking ridiculous. It hadn't been this bad on the Fast and
• 32:20
  Furious stale until this point. No, this one was this one Fast and
• 32:24
  Furious Lights. I fully expected Vendi's to the walk in at some point like
• 32:28
  this one was outrageousness like Fast and Furious Light and just I mean, just
• 32:32
  just let y'all know, we might say a spoiler. So yeah, but
• 32:37
  again there's okay. Like the last one, I thought it is one of
• 32:42
  my favorite movies of all time, and it has basically no plot. The
• 32:45
  plot is there's some new tickets stolen. If Tom doesn't get him back,
• 32:49
  it's just set off something that will destroy the World bloom Let's drove is that
• 32:52
  the one with Rommy Mallet with Henry Caville. No, see now you're minting
• 32:58
  bond? Yeah yeah, no U the last with Henry Caville and okay yeah.
• 33:06
  It was Superman and it's one of my favorite act movies ever. He
• 33:09
  had the mustache, he had to pump up his arm with the guns when
• 33:14
  he you know, when he does the flex and a pocket appears on his
• 33:16
  shirt like that. It's one of my favorite films ever. It's just from
• 33:21
  beginning to end. Damn near action. It's just dope. It doesn't need
• 33:23
  it. This one I felt like had way too much plot and way too
• 33:30
  much because it was leaning into such ridiculousness. Like the one thing I gotta
• 33:35
  call out is there's one thing in an airport where one of the villains is
• 33:38
  being masked by this AI, Like this AI is erasing all the camera footage
• 33:44
  of him as he goes along, and it's like the characters had to explain
• 33:47
  this because it's so ridiculous. And when you do stuff like that, when
• 33:52
  the dialogue, when characters is sitting there telling you what's happening on screen instead
• 33:54
  of the showing you, but it's so utterly ridiculous that they have to say
• 33:59
  it so you somewhat believe it. It's when I'm like, you know,
• 34:04
  this is fast and furious, because definitely they're doing every fast and furious movie
• 34:07
  and I didn't expect that from this. It was way too much of that
• 34:09
  for me. But yeah, when it got to it, yeah, sorry,
• 34:14
  go ahead. Oh when it got to it, I mean, it's
• 34:15
  fucking mission impossible. It's Tom Cruise. Just the director McGee. He did
• 34:21
  he did, you know, the last one, which is my favorite one.
• 34:23
  So this was like a different he did, same director. Oh yeah,
• 34:29
  he might as well have been two people. I thought, I mean,
• 34:31
  I thought it was it was different this time. I thought the styles
• 34:35
  were the same. I thought, yeah, and okay, maybe I'm thinking
• 34:37
  of the writing. Then this is the writing is way different, right,
• 34:43
  because, like I said, this movie spent so much time explaining ship,
• 34:45
  but it has such a ridiculous premise that you had to explain it. And
• 34:50
  even though I just felt like they didn't need every ridiculous premise, just do
• 34:53
  me the same thing, new something, you know, let's get to it.
• 34:55
  I don't know, it's just ai shit, it was like whatever dog
• 34:59
  who cares the more you I'm listening to you and your first expression when you
• 35:04
  were like, even though the movie has been it's it's been more so literally
• 35:07
  you know, started to use the name in the explanation, but it has
• 35:13
  been impossible feats, right, like increasingly impossible feats, but still a good,
• 35:19
  like thinking movie. I guess whereas this film no, no, no,
• 35:23
  there's no thinking. There's no thinking. It's more thinking than it wasn't
• 35:30
  this. And I say that in the sense of this felt way more fast
• 35:32
  and furious than the Ladder, and I think it's not. And by that,
• 35:37
  I just mean like the characters know they're being fucking silly. That's it's
• 35:43
  yeah, because it's not that it's thinking, because the last one is like
• 35:45
  I remember boys that there is no plot to this movie, and I was
• 35:47
  like, there, you know, maybe I'm thinking. My point is the
• 35:55
  characters take still take themselves a little seriously in the self aware that they're becoming.
• 36:00
  They're very self aware of that a I'm a I'm a I'm halfway clown
• 36:05
  in this ship. It's like once the Fast It's once again like when Fast
• 36:07
  and Furious, when Tyrese started realizing that they were kind of immortal, you
• 36:12
  know. Once he started talking about it on screen, that's when it became
• 36:15
  like, I, you know, even the character like y'all are in on
• 36:20
  it, right, and like that there's that reference we see in the commercial
• 36:22
  where he's like, by gone rogue and he's like they always go rogue and
• 36:27
  three times. Yeah, But it was that yeah, And it's not necessarily
• 36:31
  a thing. It was just something I observed and what I mostly observed,
• 36:36
  which is why I felt when I realized, oh, these these characters know
• 36:38
  what the fuck's going on? Was when like the first hell her first thirty
• 36:45
  minutes, they were speaking really weird. And when I say weird, I
• 36:47
  mean hushed tones and speaking at level two but very seriously and very direct and
• 36:52
  focused. What do you mean, Joe, do you mean this is the
• 36:55
  end of the world? We have a new coming on the subway of on
• 37:00
  A summary was like, why are you talking like that? Like it was
• 37:05
  like, you know you're a cartoon character, and you are explaining to me
• 37:08
  as a viewer that you know that you are a cartoon character, that you
• 37:13
  know that I know that you are a cartoon character. It's because it's so
• 37:15
  much ridiculous exposition, so they're trying to do it in cool ways, like
• 37:20
  but it's like, you know, like why you're not that man, bro,
• 37:23
  like why are you speaking like that? It was it was like heavy
• 37:27
  handed, but then it was just like oh then you know. Then the
• 37:30
  next the literally minute one after the first thirty, it was like ha ha,
• 37:34
  we know we're fucking clowns. We're gonna keep it going. Like I
• 37:37
  was like, oh, like I knew it, like I felt I felt
• 37:39
  that whatever again, writing style completely different, but I have felt the break
• 37:44
  when it was like the person was like I'm jumping off the page now,
• 37:47
  I'm chhok, like I I don't know. I don't know if I was
• 37:52
  supposed to the curtain was supposed to lift back for me like that, but
• 37:54
  maybe that was an intention. I don't know. It didn't ruin anything,
• 37:59
  but I was It's like I felt weird, like do y'all know y'all sound
• 38:01
  stupid right now? Like do y'all know y'all sound like you're you're playing but
• 38:06
  also taking yourself seriously, but playing about taking yourself seriously. It's like,
• 38:09
  well, that's why are we doing this game right now? Exposition is very
• 38:13
  hard to deliver, you know, and deliver it well. And it's also
• 38:16
  when the exposition when the plot that you're delivering is so ridiculous, like this
• 38:21
  one was, like this was it was just one of the dumbest ais you
• 38:25
  know, you called it the chat GBT. It was so ridiculous. It
• 38:30
  was so slow and so like so the movie can happen type things, and
• 38:36
  like I said, fuck all that, because once you get past that,
• 38:39
  once we get to these big asset pieces. I mean, it was just
• 38:44
  it was pure joy for me. As always, there's a car chase scene
• 38:47
  in Rome that it is just fucking perfection. I thought the addition of what's
• 38:52
  her name of agent Carter haleyoutwell, I liked her, I love her,
• 38:59
  I love her and in general, but I really love her. I loved
• 39:02
  her in this. I love her in general, but I thought she was,
• 39:06
  you know, amazing in this that in that car chase scene, she
• 39:10
  like proved it because I felt it like that was it was. That's one
• 39:15
  of my favorite car chase. I love a good car chaise, and that's
• 39:17
  trying to go at the top of the list. And then there's this trained
• 39:22
  sequence towards the end of the film that it's just fucking it's just incredible shit,
• 39:28
  you know, Like, so it delivered to me on what it needed
• 39:30
  to. It was. I felt like maybe there was just one more ill
• 39:35
  set piece or one ill villain, because I think Henry Caville really um elevated
• 39:40
  the last one this one, and also Shorty, who's more like an anti
• 39:46
  hero, she elevated the last one. I liked seeing her again, the
• 39:50
  blonde woman who's all mysterious, the arms dealer who makes the fixer, who's
• 39:54
  makes everything happened, palm palm tie. Amazing in this one. I wish
• 40:01
  she had more announce her last name, but yeah, yeah, I wish
• 40:06
  she had more time, more more mantis, I mean, amazing in this
• 40:08
  one as well. I wish she'd had more time. Yeah, she was
• 40:13
  good. She was a good little terminator. Yeah, and I think I
• 40:15
  think it was because the main villain who were supposed to hate I just didn't
• 40:19
  give a shit about that dude. So it mean the main villain that was
• 40:22
  from the first movie, but no, he's set off that set off time
• 40:27
  in the first one. But he didn't see he's not in that movie.
• 40:31
  That's all. Secondly, whatever, I don't I don't think as far as
• 40:35
  I know that dude's never been in these movies before. Maybe not. But
• 40:37
  the point is they keep using that flashback, so he's pseudo in the movie,
• 40:42
  right, He's like, but really think I set the fuck off in
• 40:45
  the first place. He's the reason that Ethan joins the m I versation the
• 40:49
  first place. That was never shown before. But now it's like, we're
• 40:51
  supposed to care. That's not the first time this movie is in the first
• 40:53
  time they shown him it was I don't know which one they showed him before,
• 40:57
  or the flashback of him, but they've shown him before. I've never
• 41:00
  I didn't know that because I never cared about this girl. I cared about
• 41:02
  the woman who Ethan was with in the early movies, who almost killed who
• 41:07
  turns back up in the last one, Like that's the girl you know for
• 41:10
  him. Let's talk about quote the girl. Let's talk about fridginge pseudo Fridging.
• 41:15
  Let's talk about if you are a woman in the Mission Possible series and
• 41:21
  Tom Cruise even gives you so much as a wink, your ass is dead.
• 41:24
  It's tight. Your ass as good as dead. Okay, but I'm
• 41:29
  sure he survived barely one, but yeah, she, I mean the one
• 41:32
  who's not in this movie, the one who he said, you know,
• 41:35
  get out of my life so you won't die basically sure, and Haley for
• 41:38
  now, like Haley gonna make it for sure because she's new home your home,
• 41:44
  ger that you like? Which one the one that came back? My
• 41:52
  point is any woman. It's tight that he even takes a shine to you
• 41:58
  are fucking out of here. You're gone, You're done, You're pluto.
• 42:02
  What's her name? Who couldn't quit chicken? What's the black woman's name?
• 42:07
  The woman who couldn't quit chicken? Um? The one wasn't she married to
• 42:13
  Robert Thick Um? Oh god, Robert Think's wife, because she was in
• 42:19
  one of these she was yeah, and then they wrote her out of it.
• 42:22
  She didn't get killed. They just like wrote her answer And I never
• 42:23
  said that. They brought back everybody else from Paula Patten. She needs to
• 42:29
  come back. She was doping that joint. So she can get killed,
• 42:31
  no, like she can live. She's on the team. I mean,
• 42:34
  fucking what's his name? And them niggas have made it through every movie ving
• 42:37
  Grahams and um niggas. Listen, to what you just said them niggas.
• 42:42
  The men is making it through every movie. The women is not. The
• 42:45
  women's is not. They literally replaced his road Dog with Haley at Well,
• 42:55
  and she's great, don't get me wrong, but it was a literal replaced.
• 43:00
  It was a side by side seem seemed the placement, I mean shorter,
• 43:05
  not always a road don't. You're trying to captain a nigga last movie
• 43:07
  too, so in a road dog kind of way and in a SPI versus
• 43:15
  five friendship kind of way, I guess. So, um yeah, mission
• 43:20
  impossible. You know, if you liked any of the rest of them,
• 43:22
  you're gonna love this ship, you know, like, yeah, I loved
• 43:25
  it overall fun man, like you loved it, okay overall? Yes?
• 43:30
  I felt that it was fun. I was. It got me engaged the
• 43:34
  whole entire time. Yeah. I shared my my criticism from like, you
• 43:40
  know, media professional standpoint, but as it's a general viewer, I have
• 43:45
  fun. Yeah. No, as a Mission impossible fanatic, Like I said,
• 43:49
  I've watched the last one. I can't tell you how many times I've
• 43:51
  watched the last film. It's like, if it's on, I'm going to
• 43:53
  watch I love it so and I've watched I think the third one with um.
• 43:59
  I think the third one, the one with Philip Semur Hoffman, is
• 44:01
  another rate one. The first one is one of my favorites, the one
• 44:06
  right before the last one. It's pretty good because that's the first one that
• 44:08
  McGee came on, and so he was just you know, he was getting
• 44:12
  his broken together. Now I'm thinking when you said, when you said these
• 44:15
  other people, I'm thinking of the bad guys of each of these films,
• 44:16
  and I'm mighty Gabriel is so like cartoonishly, I'm a bad guy cartoonishly That's
• 44:22
  that's that's Gabriel. Yeah, oh yeah, he's whack. I mean,
• 44:25
  Philip Philip Hoffman ruled. You know, I'm a hurter. I'm a hurder
• 44:31
  Like he was like, damn, okay, you asturb my guy. Yeah
• 44:35
  he was. He was scary. And then Henry Caville was just such a
• 44:39
  maniac. And the last one that I just loved him. But but what
• 44:44
  we're talking about true maniac. Tom Cruise is the maniac maniac of the century
• 44:50
  because I mean still doing own sunts and stuff like that. But he's also
• 44:53
  like ninety nine years old. And just going ham still running at full Tom
• 45:00
  Cruise speed, still doing the motorcycles and this and that and hey, power
• 45:06
  to the man, he laughs, in the face of death and danger.
• 45:09
  Good luck to you. Yeah, definitely. Uh so check it out,
• 45:15
  you know, gives whatever two thumbs up, all props. Not my favorite
• 45:20
  of the series, but in the top four, I'd say at this point,
• 45:23
  yeah, top four, maybe top three, so solid as fuck,
• 45:28
  top four, first one, the last one of all mission impossibles, first
• 45:31
  one, yeah, top four, yeah, first one, the last.
• 45:35
  What do you what do you rate? The original of Tom Cruise ups my
• 45:37
  mission impossible? I rate um, I rate Rogue the last one as my
• 45:42
  top one of them all. Then I rate probably Philip Seymour Hoffman. I'm
• 45:46
  a hurter, and then the first one and then this one, and even
• 45:52
  I'm a hurter. The women always gets sick. It is, I mean,
• 45:59
  Viny says, so I'm gonna hurt her. No country for any wine,
• 46:05
  none because she almost dies in that one, like twice I think I
• 46:07
  think Tom almost does. To the right. They get that bomb in the
• 46:12
  head thing like that ship was ruthless and man, yeah, I know you
• 46:16
  put that bomb in their head. No I know I was gonna say,
• 46:20
  that's some what's my girl? What's my girl? The suicide Squad, that's
• 46:23
  some Amanda Waller, that's some Amanda Waller ship man. Yeah, I'm gonna
• 46:28
  hurt her. Anyways, let's see. Yeah, um talk about you know,
• 46:45
  the ops pull them one over on people's heads, because today the Emmies
• 46:50
  were now and of course everyone's like, oh yay, And first of all,
• 46:54
  yeah, First of all, all these award shows have always been bullshit.
• 46:57
  Like when the Ostris was first red by this film producers. Famous pro
• 47:01
  was like, if I made these shiny things and give them to people,
• 47:06
  they'll agree to do whatever movie I want, you know. So it's always
• 47:10
  been yeah, a way to you know, make actors feel like they're worthy
• 47:15
  of something, and then they'll do whatever movie you know, these producers want
• 47:20
  or agree or whatever turns these people one. And so when the Emmies are
• 47:23
  announced today, and sure, we're happy for all the black people, were
• 47:25
  happy for all the shows we love, et cetera, et cetera. But
• 47:29
  at the same time, hay, these fucking niggas. How are you gonna
• 47:31
  dominate the nigga for Best writing? And you ain't paying the nigga, you're
• 47:34
  not paying him. It's the same or the same person or whatever. Yeah,
• 47:40
  you're absolutely right. And I mean just from a mechanics standpoint, as
• 47:45
  I kept going through the list of nominees, I kept seeing patterns. Right,
• 47:50
  So you have these leg well yeah, besides white people, but you
• 47:53
  see these legacy channels and things like that, HBO, Max, HBO Max,
• 48:00
  Netflix, AMC, Disney Plus. Right, and then literally in like
• 48:05
  whole like like squads of categories, it was like three shows. And this
• 48:09
  is out of the multitudes of good shows that have been out there, right,
• 48:15
  Like, you know how many times Succession, you know, many times
• 48:17
  in the same categories someone from Succession was nominated And I'm like all of them.
• 48:23
  And again I never came Secession Succession. And I know it's been high
• 48:29
  entertaining for a lot of people, not taking that away, but I'm just
• 48:31
  like, bro, all of the three people took out of the six slots,
• 48:36
  all of these people, and you couldn't put in someone and and and
• 48:38
  shout out to Kirk Kirk, writes M on Twitter. He's a Hollywood writer.
• 48:46
  I share his sentiments. He was just like, you know, how
• 48:50
  are two shows dominating any one category when you consider things like, for example,
• 48:55
  Jail Fons Nicholson and season two A Pee Valley of the Murder, Like,
• 49:01
  these performances in these shows that are obviously being overlooked, rise to the
• 49:07
  occasion if you were going to take them seriously, rise to the occasion of
• 49:10
  getting Emmy's rise to the occasion of being nominated. So for none of that
• 49:15
  to happen, and you just see succession three times and better call Saw for
• 49:17
  a thousand times, I'm just like, damn Gata for you know, Gata
• 49:25
  for one episode that was about and it was last two years ago, that
• 49:30
  episode just about Gator. That was phenomenal. I think that's fright. I
• 49:35
  think it was too old. It's just time. Yeah, But I mean
• 49:38
  if even in this time it wasn't it wasn't brought up well, and Or
• 49:44
  isn't that old. And even know and Or got nominated for some serious stuff,
• 49:46
  which I'm really happy to see. Uh. I felt like the Stars
• 49:51
  Dard is another one who got left off the Falls and Star Star you know
• 49:53
  for actor Stars Guard got the nomination first section. Yeah, well his son
• 50:00
  did right now, but the father didn't for and Or, and then Atlanta
• 50:04
  season three and four being left off is the most egregious thing I've ever seen,
• 50:09
  Like, I think those I think Atlanta is just one of the greatest
• 50:14
  TV shows of all time. It should have constantly been nominated every time it
• 50:17
  was up for anything. I think every episode of season three and four or
• 50:22
  we're just such they're like like timeless, you know, just pushing the envelope
• 50:29
  forward type TV that we just don't get. So I just and I think
• 50:34
  a lot of people didn't get it because of that, because it was so
• 50:37
  pushing the envelope for it was like when WandaVision first time, all people like
• 50:40
  what the ell is this? Until it like settled down into a normal show.
• 50:45
  And Atlanta never never settled down into a normal show. And that's why
• 50:49
  I loved it so much. So yeah, it's it's sad, and I
• 50:53
  want to just the secondary part of Kirk's tweet he had mentioned he said,
• 50:58
  because P Valley, I love P Valley, right, and it's a good
• 51:00
  series. P Valley is a show because P Valley is a show with the
• 51:05
  black ensemble and on starts, which is not considered a prestige network. The
• 51:08
  series and those actors are ignored. This is not just the fault of voters,
• 51:13
  but critics and pundits as well. And I also because I saw an
• 51:15
  email coming from you know, the ops from Apple and they were like,
• 51:20
  yo, we got fifty four nominations or some shit, so they're pretty high.
• 51:22
  You know, they're moving on up and Apple has some of the best
• 51:27
  shows out that no one watched it straight up and down. Like right,
• 51:30
  Well, Apple did get a lot of enough nominations, like they have.
• 51:34
  Ted Lasso got nominated, which is fantastic. Um Bad Sisters, that's on
• 51:38
  Apple TV. It's Apple. What's the one about the problem with John Stewart
• 51:44
  that's also on Apple. I didn't know about that one. The Super Bowl
• 51:47
  with Rihanna got nominated. Oh it was incredible, but it was still the
• 51:52
  Michael J. Fox movie got nominally. That's the Apple TV. What's the
• 51:55
  one that that showed that I've never finished? Um, that was really good.
• 52:00
  I watched the pilot. Um not seen I not seen sight or no
• 52:04
  c C. Yes see you know Cheka Leo says, I was great.
• 52:07
  No, it's the one about this through to this job. It's super weird,
• 52:12
  it's super good. It's on Apple as well. I can't remember the
• 52:15
  name of it. Oh well yeah, I mean I, like I said,
• 52:19
  I'm happy my my standouts. You mentioned the black people, but my
• 52:23
  standouts were Dominique Fishback. She got nomination for swarm Um. I also was
• 52:29
  very happy for Io Adibi adibii Um for the Bear Um and the Bear overall.
• 52:34
  I finished watching season two last week, so that phenomenal work and just
• 52:40
  you, I mean, everything about that show is the way it shot was
• 52:45
  shot. This season in general, Oh my god, it was just absolutely
• 52:46
  gorgeous and then like writing, very thought for writing, and there are a
• 52:50
  lot of and there's episodes that were written by black writers too, so you
• 52:53
  know, yeah, yeah, I saw that. I saw one of the
• 52:57
  writers talking about it. I've watched The Bear periphetly and I know it's great.
• 53:01
  Man. Yeah, I just like I say, Man, Jamie Lee
• 53:05
  Curtis, she did that. I got to also say she did that this
• 53:08
  season. Bro, You're gonna hear about this and the next yeah. Like
• 53:13
  yeah, like I say, and or in Atlanta not being on there like
• 53:16
  that well and is there a few times but it's drama. Yeah, I
• 53:21
  get it, and that's where it should be, you know. But we'll
• 53:22
  I feel like that's just like one of them. I don't feel like the
• 53:27
  hype is behind that, you know nomination. I mean, my thing is
• 53:30
  so Andor's in for Best Drama Series, but they're also next to Better Coo
• 53:36
  Saul, the Crown House of the Dragon, Last of Us success I mean
• 53:43
  it's like it's looking tight fan looking. They also have one for Best Writing
• 53:50
  for Drama Series SOSI. And Or is up against um, let Me Go
• 53:55
  Back My Fault, and Or is up against Bad Sisters on Apple TV.
• 54:00
  Better Call Saul twice because it's episode uh Betacles and that's what I'm saying,
• 54:07
  comes up twice, two episodes that they're counting. One episode of and Or
• 54:13
  got nominated. It doesn't say this specific episode, It just says who wrote
• 54:15
  it. So like for example, a Better Call Saul, it shows two
• 54:19
  different writers those different episodes, Um, the two different entries. The Last
• 54:23
  of Us is another competitive competitor, quote Succession, and then the White Lotus
• 54:28
  Yeah, and then the last area. Best Directing for Drama Series. Yes
• 54:32
  we have and Or, but it's losing Bat Sisters. The Last of Us
• 54:37
  Succession. Succession comes up three times in this category because there's three different directors.
• 54:43
  The white lotus. That's all. I'm just like and and I know
• 54:45
  that these things are phenomenal. I'm not taking it away. It's like,
• 54:49
  aren't there other things that are also phenomenal? And or just like I say,
• 54:52
  I think it was as closed to a perfect season of televisions I've ever
• 54:58
  seen it, you know. It was just it's something else, you know,
• 55:02
  And I mean it's not getting credited the way it should. But once
• 55:08
  again, that goes back to another destruction I have with somebody else this week,
• 55:12
  where I've always said that, like I don't give a shit about the
• 55:14
  Wars, I don't give a shit about sales because the greatest things that I've
• 55:16
  ever enjoyed are usually the things that are the least appreciated by the masses.
• 55:22
  I believe you. However, Comma, yep, if you were nominated in
• 55:28
  one and Emmy, are you gonna also say you wouldn't find joy in that
• 55:34
  nominated or one that wants to get nominated for everything? Yeah, I think
• 55:44
  it deserves everything. At the same time, what I care about far more.
• 55:50
  I can say this straight, you know, because it's just like with
• 55:52
  this show is touching those people who are gonna reach out to me and be
• 55:57
  like, Yo, I've read this book been and it was this moment right
• 56:00
  here, nigga, you know that that will touch me more than the award.
• 56:04
  Just fucking So you're not seeking an award, but you're also I know,
• 56:07
  I wanted to win all those things because I know what those things.
• 56:13
  That procedure will breathe to the book. It will get more of that reaction
• 56:15
  than I want from people. You know, see what I'm saying, Like,
• 56:19
  because I want more people to read it. So the procedure is winning
• 56:22
  awards will get more people to read it. But what matters more is that
• 56:27
  reaction. It's just it's how the system is set up. I need awards.
• 56:31
  I need that type of stuff to get noticed. That's the same thing
• 56:34
  with all these shows. But what matters to me more is the reaction I
• 56:38
  will get on a personal level for people. You know, winning an award
• 56:44
  is like, man, that's you know, like all that shit is a
• 56:46
  part of the system. You know, that's like how it set up to
• 56:50
  you know, you gotta get it. That would be great, you know,
• 56:52
  and I want it. I'm putting it out there for you know,
• 56:54
  this book to win Mad Awards, New York Times Bestseller all that stuff,
• 56:58
  That's what I'm looking for. But what I'm really looking for is the moments.
• 57:04
  You know, I want people to get what I've been putting into this
• 57:07
  book, you know, And that's what I think all most creators, you
• 57:10
  know, they want people to you know, like, oh that shit hit
• 57:14
  me, fam, you know what I mean. M Yeah, So yeah,
• 57:20
  it's both, is what I heard. Yeah, it's both, you
• 57:22
  know, it's both. But yeah, as far as I you know,
• 57:23
  if I once I or once I do write some television and it gets nominated
• 57:28
  for an Emmy, I do up there, I don't know, I do
• 57:30
  up there and say some wild ship problem, I'd probably go up there and
• 57:35
  say wild ship and never get nominated again. You know. My career in
• 57:40
  Hollywood has definitely been like you know, it's it has been you know,
• 57:46
  how not to you know, get paid, and I don't care because my
• 57:54
  integrity matter is way more than dollars, you know. To me. That's
• 57:59
  it's just you know, and I feel like there's so much of Hollywood,
• 58:02
  especially right now, is just distratching level television that I don't really want to
• 58:07
  participate in. That's fair. Yeah, I hear you sir um, what
• 58:14
  else we got going on? I mean you mentioned it. Let's let's remind
• 58:15
  the listeners of what we talked about. Hendrix Man. Yes, yeah,
• 58:20
  definitely because I saw my man, Tom Mandrake uh shouting it out again this
• 58:24
  week. So yes, my first ever graphic novel, who uh Jimmy Hendrix

• 58:58

• 59:06

• 59:15
  colorist of Jimmy Hendricks Purple Hayes, and he is currently doing the colors on
• 59:21
  it. I've seen some pages. They're fantastic. I mean, it's just
• 59:27

• 59:30
  You can go listen to Tai Town interviewing me about it. Just go
• 59:34

• 59:42
  tell them you want Jimmy Hendricks Purple Hayese. It's a work of love,
• 59:46
  man, like you know, just it. I'm so I say this again
• 59:51
  and again, but I'm just so proud of this book every time I think
• 59:53
  about it. The ending, the whole story that we've told. Um.
• 59:59
  I actually got in You Are Cows podcasts, the Black Wrastling podcast last week
• 1:00:05
  and they were they asked me, I think we talked about this, but
• 1:00:07
  they asked me, what I like to tell more stories in this universe?
• 1:00:10
  And I'm like, fam, it's set up to tell more stories in this
• 1:00:14
  universe. Like I told the whole story arc to Young Grew when I finished
• 1:00:19
  the whole story arc, and I just had to explain to him, you
• 1:00:21
  know, the whole story and he was like, all right, that's cool,
• 1:00:23
  but you know the story is not over here, right, and I
• 1:00:25
  was like, yeah, I know, but you know this, it's the
• 1:00:29
  this book is done. You know, this novel is finished, and then
• 1:00:31
  there will be more novels in this series later on, hopefully if y'all go
• 1:00:37
  out and re order it and all that good stuff. But yeah, it's
• 1:00:39
  it's set up for more stories. Like there's just there's so much packed into
• 1:00:45
  this graphic novel. Man, there's this whole universe that me and Mello created
• 1:00:50
  with our writing and that Tom and Justin and everyone else are illustrating. So
• 1:00:53
  it's this universe. And that's another thing I mentioned, Like Tom's art,
• 1:00:58
  It's like it's the high type of art that as a kid, I would
• 1:01:00
  look at the page of art like this and I would just want to tell
• 1:01:02
  stories about everyone on the page. So yeah, there's a million more stories
• 1:01:07
  I could tell from this book, So God willing, you know, people
• 1:01:10
  pre order, people love it, and people read it and buy it and
• 1:01:14
  tell their friends about it and tell a friend and etcetera. And we get
• 1:01:17
  those sales where Titan wants to do more in this universe, and you know
• 1:01:22
  we'll be back for more because I would love to keep telling stories in this
• 1:01:25
  and I think people once they get their hands on it, will want to
• 1:01:28
  read more stories in this universe. So yeah, I for one and rooting
• 1:01:32
  for you, Thank you very much, to say the least, I'm very
• 1:01:36
  excited. So yeah, we said November nineteenth, No seven, Why Why
• 1:01:42
  that's the nineteenth? Oh I'm thinking October nineteenth, that's why. Oh yeah,
• 1:01:45
  because that's not even white, is it? In nineteen th seventeen.
• 1:01:47
  I'm getting my days mixed up. I think it's the nineteenth. That's the
• 1:01:51
  nineteen October nineteenth. We are going to be at the National Museum of African
• 1:01:53
  American History and Culture acting Oprah Winfrey Museum. But I mean the excuse me
• 1:02:01
  as at the museum the theater or from the south the theater. We're gonna
• 1:02:07
  be there. I've always loved that pronunciation. But theater, I guess so
• 1:02:14
  very down south. Ourselves and some other prestigious black folks will be there talking
• 1:02:20
  all things after futurism um and topics around that space. We were told that
• 1:02:27
  it is free to attend. I think we may have to register, so
• 1:02:30
  for those who who have been asking us, we do have confirmation it is
• 1:02:32
  free. Um. I think it is going to be a signum situation,
• 1:02:36
  and you know, more than likely it's you have to get there at a
• 1:02:39
  certain time or you may not have a seat. So um. But but
• 1:02:44
  there's that, but very excited about that, very humbled, very honored something
• 1:02:50
  that we had been you know, this is over a year and then making
• 1:02:52
  at this point, yeah right, it's been a long time, right,
• 1:02:55
  and then we couldn't even talk about it for like eight months. So it's
• 1:02:58
  just like with Hindreds, like people are asking me how long they ask me
• 1:03:00
  that on the podcast how long? And I had to realize that it's been
• 1:03:04
  about when it comes out, it will be over a little over two years
• 1:03:07
  since Mellow first came in, Like, yo, do you want to pitch
• 1:03:10
  this? And much like creative processes, much like movies, films, TV,
• 1:03:15
  like a lot of stuff has been in the works for years and by
• 1:03:17
  the time it comes out as like yo, I've been did this right?
• 1:03:21
  Yeah? But point being is, we are gonna be live out chair during
• 1:03:29
  Howard homecoming week and I will be staying there for the weekend. Oh of
• 1:03:32
  course. We really hope that everyone who is in DNB area are going to
• 1:03:37
  be visiting or whatever will come through. I know I'm going to have family
• 1:03:40

• 1:03:43

• 1:03:46

• 1:03:52
  you should also just watch it. And by the site, I mean the
• 1:03:55
  African American Museum site. Just check that to see their upcoming events because I
• 1:04:00
  think they had stopped in like September, like stop listing things up until certain
• 1:04:02
  time September. So just keep watching that because I'm sure they're going to update
• 1:04:05

• 1:04:10
  Yeah, man, it's it's listen. We profession now. So that's
• 1:04:15
  what you do as a infession now. And as we said earlier on in
• 1:04:21
  this episode, we're going to be doing more things, just different ways of
• 1:04:27
  capturing attention and imagination when it comes to covering the fandom, covering nerds stuff,
• 1:04:33
  geek stuff, pop culture stuff, We're gonna be going doing things differently
• 1:04:38
  and and and again, we want to still, we want to entertain,
• 1:04:43
  and we want to be there for y'all, and we want to combine both
• 1:04:45
  of them so that we also don't lose our minds. You know, we
• 1:04:49
  don't. We don't. We don't want to be in and stuck in one
• 1:04:53
  place either. So and also recently we just realized like shoutouts to camera and
• 1:04:57
  Mace, you know, and what they're doing over there with the it Is
• 1:05:00
  what it Is podcast, but like they're just talking to ship this week,

• 1:05:58
  I'm I've been seeing a lot. I've been hearing a lot. There's
• 1:06:00
  been a lot of little slit talk lately that I've been like, okay,
• 1:06:05
  and then I've just also been really the credibility of a lot of these people
• 1:06:12
  out here is a question. I will say that, because a lot of
• 1:06:15
  people will do anything for a check. You know. I talked about it
• 1:06:17
  when it comes to writers in Hollywood, which is a lot of my problem
• 1:06:20
  with them, and you know, shout out to the ones who don't watch
• 1:06:24
  Hollywood shuffle. There's always work at the post office. And it goes to
• 1:06:28
  the same thing to all these bloggers, all these videographers, whatever you want
• 1:06:30
  to call them, all these people who are especially moving in this blurred space.
• 1:06:33
  Lately, I've seen a lot of people just doing shit for checks,
• 1:06:38
  you know what I mean, just saying whatever. Shout out to Luna.
• 1:06:42
  I hope people to eat the beat saying whatever for these checks. Fam and
• 1:06:46
  it's like, you can't be doing that, y'all. You know, like
• 1:06:50
  May says on it is what it is. They come to me for the
• 1:06:53
  truth, you know what I mean. I have sacrificed jobs in Hollywood,
• 1:06:57
  you know, to talk this shit, you know, because I'm not gonna
• 1:07:00
  sit here and just say that some bullshit is not some bullshit in a you
• 1:07:05
  know, eloquent manner, and I'm gonna break it down to the very last
• 1:07:10
  compound. But I'm gonna call what it is. Bros, Bros.
