  Speaker 1: All right, you got here? Okay. I like the way
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: that this website that I go to occasionally. Ion nine
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: wrote this. The Last of Us season two's new trailer
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: asks us, if we're ready to hurt again?
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Have we healed enough?
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Have you we can hurt again?
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Sometimes I feel I have already seen everything that's going
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: to happen, and in the end everything becomes a nightmare.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: Everyone here we had the opportunity to start over, had
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: to do so, some tough decisions had to be made.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: Even though those decisions it will haunt us until the
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: day we die.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: The glimpse into the future.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: So tell me, Joel, what did you do? Ye saved her?
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's again. This is such a good show.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: And didn't it.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: End in Salt Lake City? Wasn't like the last episode?
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: Everyone agrees, just long.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: So it's the no rest for the wicked old adage
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: as it extends to the undead and the living as well.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: The duo fights to survive. As with its first season,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Time is going to tell whether the upcoming season of
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Last of Us will you know follow the story beats
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: of the source material which is a video game, which
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: is a video game, and if it does, again keep
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: those tissues handy. This one apparently takes place. Season two
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: takes place five years after the first season. I heard
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: that they run into Sweet Tooth.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Is that true?
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: No, that's probably it's a different show. Let's see, but
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: say it picks up five years after the first season's
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: climactic events, so we see Joel and Ellie their found
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: family relationship begins to unravel as they grow apart from
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: all the events of the first Engine. Yeah, slated to
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: premiere on HBO and Max sometime in April. They're not
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: committing to a date yet. April of this year this year,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: so sometime in April.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Another thing that was dropped on us, and they've been
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: talking about this for a while. Universal Studios is putting
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: out more of their classic Universal Monsters monster movies. Yeah,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: and this is one of them. This is the new Wolfman. Now,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: what they've done rather than release a trailer, and this
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: is strange that they did this. What they did was
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: they just sent you the video of the transformation. That's it. Yeah,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: no narration. And I wonder if maybe this is if
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: we can convince them that everything's going to be okay,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: they'll show up. I don't know, No, this is a
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: new version. This is this is a yeah, okay, so
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: it's now. Of course, the human becomes werewolf moment is
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: crucial in any werewolf movie. I still think an American
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: werewolf in London did it best.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: But I don't know.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: I like the old wa Chainey where they just did
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: the cameras for the phase they do a shot and
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: then another shot. But this is pretty gruesome. You can
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: hear all the crunching and everything.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah that's.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: And it's a little dark to see any real details.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: But here's the important part. The howl. You need the
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: just right howl. Here comes fine, let's go, come on.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: I kind of like that hell. But anyway, now, the
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: reason that I'm going to give this some credence is
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: because the guy who made it is let's see, I'm
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: going I want to get his name, Lee Oneell, who
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: also made the Invisible Man remake in twenty twenty, which
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: if you haven't seen it, ga, man, it's so good
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: with Elizabeth Moss. Yeah, that was really really good. So
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: if he's in charge of the wolf Man, you trust it.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: I'll trust that anybody we know in it. Yes, I
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: don't have the list of the cast here though, but
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: there'll be names we record. There are a couple of
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: people that you will recognize, mostly unknowns, but there will
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: be a couple of people that you might recognize, especially
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: if you're a movie nerd. Also, this the Nightmare Before
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Christmas Haunted Mansion holiday, of course, inspired by Nightmare Before Christmas,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: and in August, as it traditionally does, turns into the
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Haunted Mansion. You know, they take the regular Hunted Mansion
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: ride and they fix it up and they lay this
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: you know, Nightmare before Christmas stuff over. Well, briefly, the
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Disneyland website incorrectly put the dates down as returning in August.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: It's not until November, which they do it so it
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: will arrive November fourteenth. Oh no, it starts in August.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: I got that backwards. November fourteenth is what it was saying.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: And they thought, well, that's not long enough because people
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: love the layover. No, no, no, they went, we screwed up. Sorry,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: August twenty second, that's when it's going to happen. Now.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Ryan Gosling was not too he's not too happy about
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: the Nightmare Before Christmas layover. Did you know that? Why? Well,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: they caught him on tape with some people outside of
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: his hotel at Disneyland where he was attending.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Technique.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Probably that's not more about Christmas time regular time. No,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: I'm very upset about the Christmas times.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: Why because I think they should do it at Halloween.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: At No.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Well, I said, they do it at Halloween.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: They bring Christmas into Halloween.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Yes, that's a terrible life. So he's totally against the
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: bringing the Christmas into Halloween. You know, the entire premise
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: of The Diver Christmas. Well, he didn't like the movie
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: then either, and he also went on to say, you know,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: there's a there's a guy standing next to you holding
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: a candy cane, and that's not very scary. And I
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: would just say, Ryan, there are certain parts of town anyway.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Christopher Nolan this big project that he has, and he's
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: been secret he's been casting you know this amazing cast,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Matt dam and Charlie's there on Tom Holland and Hathaway's
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: and Daya. Robert Batten said, Laped and Yongo, all of
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: these people, and he hasn't been saying what it is. Well,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: he finally announced.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: What is it?
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: What the project is?
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: It's a wrong.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Homer's the Odyssey oh my god. Really that's like something
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: a big thing to tell the tales of Ulysses. That's so,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: is it like a modern telling?
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Is it?
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: He's ahead, He is not saying I'm betting. I'm betting
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: it's you know, it's like old tiny it's it's I hope,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: so that'd be pretty cool. I hope they place it,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: you know, in the Trojan War and all that time.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: But uh, now there is some speculation as to the casting,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: and again this is just speculation. Uh, possibly Matt Damon
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: as Odysseus, Holland as his son, Telemachus Hathaway as Penelope,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: his wife, Shirley's Theron as Athena, Robert Robert Bettinson as Poseidon,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: or the Cyclops will take either. Okay, Lapita Nango as
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Sir s Zendia as Calypso these are this is just speculation,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: and I think that, you know, I think that would
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: be great. I think it'll be interesting. If anybody can
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: pull it off, it might be Nolan. And finally this
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: James Mangold talking about his Star Wars movie Dawn of
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: the Jedi, he said the Star Wars movie would be
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: taking place twenty five thousand years before any known Star
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Wars movies take place. It's an area and a playground
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: that I've always wanted to explore that I was inspired
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: by as a teenager. I'm not interested in being handcuffed
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: by so much lore at this point that it's almost
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: immovable and you can't please anybody. James, I'm sure you're
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: gonna be fine because you're a white male directing it.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: If you have a Star Wars project and you're not
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: a white male, I don't know why, but the fans
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: don't like it.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Ugh.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Star Wars fans can be the worst enemies. There you go,
