  Speaker 2: coming out. Looks like November seven, new episode every Friday
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: through December twenty six. It will be on Apple TV Plus. Yes,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Apple TV Plus, so look for that.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Anime in America is just blowing up. It's getting very
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: very popular because of K pop. I don't know, I
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: can't explain it, but Chainsaw Man is going to be
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: in theater's October twenty fourth, and Chainsaw Hudson is very exciting.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: No Chainsaw Man. But there's a trailer for this if
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: you want to get a look at it. The reason
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: that I would say to watch this is for the song.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: If you want an earworm, alright, just man. Yeah, this
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: is the opening sequence for Chainsaw Man the movie rese Arcot.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: It's said to Kenshi Yizu's song Iris Out, which has
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: broken several records, including reaching number five on the Billboard
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Global two hundred, the highest spot ever for a Japanese song,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: also top the Billboard Japan Hot one hundred. All right,
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: I would explain to you what Chainsaw Man is about,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: but it's just a little hard to believe. I mean,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: there's a demon, he's fused with a dog. It's he's
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: got a chainsaw face. He's I don't I don't want
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: to take you down that road. Just go and listen
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: to that song. Actually it is the real reason.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Does it bear any resemblance to Chainsaw Guy?
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Not as I want to know if I have a lawsuit,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Not at all. They were smart about this, they probably, Yeah,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: they did, all right, and they went a different direction.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Let's see, New York Comic Con was for the weekend,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: so a lot of things got dropped on us, including
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: our first look at Marvel TV's Wonder Man. Uh this
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: is h yaha, adul Mattein the second and Sir Ben
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Kingsley you have to put he earned that. The sir
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: in there, and they dropped a trailer for it. Now,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: what's interesting about this is it's it's sort of self
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: deprecating about the whole superhero movie industry. Okay, so let's
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: let's take a look at it. The entertainment world is
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: stunned today when internationally celebrated and reclusive filmmaker von Kovak
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: sprung out of retirement to sign on for a remake
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: of wonder Man.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Mister von Kovak, could you tell us more? Everyone is
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: style of those superheroes. There is an opportunity to reimagine
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: a whole young, little storytelling. Have you thought about casting?
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: So what's this figure out this you talking about?
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: It's a huge opportunity.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: I'm auditioning for wonder Man.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: That's Ben Kingsley as Trevor Slattery who was the actor.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Okay, sorry, were you crazy? I was born to play
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: this character. Are you serious? But they are already talking
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: to Leo.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Well, the idea is that wonder Man is an old
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: B movie and they've decided to remake it.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: You just gotta go out there on course.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: So yeah, it's it's going to be a kind of
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: a self deprecating look at actors in superhero films. So
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to that will be interesting. We also
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: got another look at Starfleet Academy. It's a trailer that
