Thanks for listening and we'll see you next time as we keep chasing the magic. Ta ta for now. Hey everyone, I'm Laura. And I'm Lindy. Grab your Mickey ears. It's time to chase the magic. Lindee: Okay. Chasing The Magic: I mean, I was looking at it a second ago and I mean, we have like a steady 13 to 18 listeners. So, but they like come later. like, now our last two episodes have seven, but. Lindee: Okay. Chasing The Magic: The two before that, like everything before that is like in the teens somewhere. And then there's like a few with 30, but they like go, the old ones go up each week. Does that make sense? So. It's time for making memories and dreaming like daddies. Lindee: Okay. Mmm, okay, okay, yeah. So new listeners, sounds like. Chasing The Magic: ⁓ I guess? Lindee: I that's what I get from it. I don't know, like they just found it. Chasing The Magic: or like, I don't know. I don't know. Lindee: Is there anyone listening? Chasing The Magic: Yes, welcome to our podcast. Shout out to the listeners. Okay, so I have a couple of updates slash requests. Lindee: Okay. Okay. Chasing The Magic: Update number one is, and this might make Sadie even more sad, so don't tell her tonight. We don't need y'all to watch dogs. Lindee: Hahaha Okay, I hadn't even told them they saw it on the calendar and so maybe just won't say anything else about it Chasing The Magic: But I would not be opposed to y'all coming by and letting them out. So we're just going to Jasper for the day. So like, that's why, you know, we're going to leave at eight. mean, we're going to be gone for like, probably 12 hours. So I would like for someone to come in. I mean, because like the only and I would drop them off with y'all. The only issue is, like if y'all leave, Noelle needs her kennel. So it's Lindee: Okay. Okay. Okay. long time. Yeah. Yeah. Chasing The Magic: And I just hate bringing that thing back and forth if I don't have to. So I would not be... Right, right. Y'all don't stay in the house all day. So if y'all want to come by and just, you know... Lindee: Yeah. Okay. And we would be delayed. Yeah. So we can do that. Chasing The Magic: open up the kennel. She will most likely have peed in it though, so just beware. ⁓ Lindee: ⁓ Okay. And they could call that. Chasing The Magic: I was thinking like that Friday night they can stay that Friday night I can bring them over Friday night and we can pick them up Saturday night, I don't know, but like it's not needed necessarily. So we can, know, discuss that in the future, which is, ⁓ mean, soon, but still. ⁓ I knew they would be looking forward to. Lindee: Yeah. Yeah, well, like I said, I haven't said anything and then I actually maybe I did say something I kind of was like, I wouldn't wear it because I was talking to Nick. was like, oh, and we're dog sitting. Remember? And they were like, dog sitting. I was like, oh crap. They don't know when it was supposed to happen or anything like that. So I don't know if it comes up again. Chasing The Magic: Okay. Lindee: We can take them Friday night, I guess. Chasing The Magic: Yeah, but honestly, just coming, you know, I think they'll be fine just coming here and playing with him. also like, honestly, Sadie's back leg has been bothering her. So I don't know how she's gonna do around the little ones. Like, I don't know if she's gonna be a little bit more growly. So we'll see Friday night at my mom's though. Yeah. Lindee: Okay. ⁓ yeah. Chasing The Magic: so that was change of plans request is I know you said ⁓ like we're kind of getting there. I know you said you were gonna give me like a little detailed schedule ⁓ like a week before ⁓ ⁓ lanes ⁓ Lindee: Thank you. Okay, it can be as soon as they release the times for the shows and stuff. That's all I'm waiting on. I have everything else. Chasing The Magic: Oh, okay. can you not just like give me like, like just put like reservation at this time? Like, I don't know, just because like, lucky tomorrow's a star day. I'm going to be so bored with those kids all day. And like, and you know how I like to, I like to go through different scenarios multiple times in my head and writing them out. So I just, I don't know, I kind of want to start. Lindee: Mm-hmm. Okay. Chasing The Magic: looking at what, and it's honestly just in my opinion. Magic Kingdom is going to be a hard day. Magic Kingdom is going to be a slingshot day. I cannot. because of what we want to get done, I don't know. don't know. Magic Kingdom is going to be a weird one, but every other day I think we can make it work. Let me see. I was going to check the app anyways. I haven't checked it in a minute. I've been doing some wedding stuff. Actually, I did check it this morning ⁓ I just opened it. I forgot what I was looking at. Lindee: feel like at least a month out. Chasing The Magic: But the wait times this morning, so I checked it at close to nine. So it was 10. They were low. Magic Kingdom, space mountain was like a 40 minute wait. And I was like, that's impressive. And even like right now. Lindee: to 10. Bye. Nice. Chasing The Magic: Jungle Cruise is only 20 minutes. Like it's, I don't know. I don't know what's happening. Maybe this is the time to go. Okay, what was I looking for? Hours. Oh no, I remember I have to look hours. I get more, you get more details when you look for hours on an actual web page rather than the app. That is a trick. Lindee: Mm. right before school. Okay, that makes sense. I just don't know, I guess there's really no way to know unless the webpage gives you that information too. There's really no way to know if they're gonna change. Chasing The Magic: Right. You would think they'd be making some summer, big summer. Lindee: Yeah, summer hours. That'd be helpful to know. Chasing The Magic: summer hours soonish, you know? Lindee: summer parade hours, summer parade times, summer fireworks show times. Something to indicate that these are the current dates for when we're going. That would be great. Chasing The Magic: So let's see. Wednesday the we're at Epcot, that one really doesn't matter. So Epcot's the same. Lindee: Nine. Honestly, I think Epcot doesn't change because it was nine when we went in December. Chasing The Magic: So, yeah. Yeah, I don't think Epcot changed. ⁓ Hollywood Studios. Wait, what day? Wait, I gotta switch that. Sorry. Lindee: Third is Hollywood Studios. Chasing The Magic: I'm looking at sorry that's what was I'm looking at. Lindee: We're not even going be there on this. ⁓ Chasing The Magic: I know, don't ask me. Okay, hold on. Hold your horses. guys. That's weird. ⁓ May, so that's why I said the seventh day accidentally clicked May 7 because I wasn't paying attention to the month. Hollywood Studios has Lindee: are you holding? Chasing The Magic: three different nighttime entertainments. Lindee: The Witty Fantasies Shows. ⁓ Chasing The Magic: No, no, no, no. So if they have Fantasmic and then they have Disney Movie Magic, which they projected it looks like onto the Chinese theater. ⁓ then they also have... See, I think we're... So I think we're gonna have to wait or we can assume. So right now, like... Lindee: Okay. Chasing The Magic: Let look at the end of May. I don't know if this is interesting. Podcast chatter. But so right now for the first week of May, which honestly might be because of... That's usually when the cheerleaders go. Starlight has at Magic Kingdom, Starlight has two times and Happily Ever is at 10 and the park closes at 11. So I'm wondering, there's no way they're not doing that for... June. Fantasmic still only has a 9 p.m. So I don't know if that is important to you, but. Lindee: That's what... had a 30. Chasing The Magic: Fantasmic in May is at 9 p.m. Fantasmic on the third, which is when we're going, is at 9 p.m. Lindee: Okay, so we'll go ahead and say nine. Okay, so that's we could probably assume that that'll be the same. Okay, okay, okay, okay. Chasing The Magic: Yes. Lindee: And that's only one show. No, there is usually a later show too, right? Chasing The Magic: I don't know. I don't know. So I don't know when they're gonna release this. me, I'm gonna Google. When does Disney normally release their summer hours? I bet they're gonna release their Halloween dates before their summer hours. Lindee: order of operations guys come on. Chasing The Magic: I know. Release ⁓ hours. ⁓ What? Lindee: side note, did you, today I found out that that rash that I got at Disney, remember that weird leg rest that just showed up? It's like known as the Disney rash. It's like, it can happen like if you're walking a lot or like it's you're hot or then you know, yeah, I was like. Chasing The Magic: Yes! ⁓ well, yeah. Mmm, a heat rash. It says six weeks in advance. I feel like we're there. So, I don't know. Just keep checking back. But no, I really just want the, like, the different reservations or the different times you have blocked off. You don't even have to put reservation. You can just put like block of time here kind of thing. Lindee: Yeah, for sure. Okay. Okay. So then, well, I mean, I feel like The only one that's really up in the air is Magic Kingdom. Chasing The Magic: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I feel like that is also true. Lindee: Well, let me. Chasing The Magic: But, and honestly, you can wait. You can give them to me in a couple days. I don't know. Lindee: It's okay. It's okay. Like I said, it was really just the shows. Chasing The Magic: Yeah. but they're still kind of being iffy, but. Lindee: Now, yeah, but we can always adjust that and tweak it. Chasing The Magic: Because like I would love to get. a Tron return time. So like if the park is open till 11, right? And happily ever after, what did I say was at? Was 10, right? I would love to get a return time for 10.30, you know? Happily ever after for 10. And park closes at 10. Lindee: you What's it, what is it showing right now? And starlight is when? Chasing The Magic: Starlight doesn't even have a time that night yet. Yeah. So. Lindee: Okay, well when I looked, Starlight was at 8.30 and the happily ever after was at 9.30. So can we assume they're about an hour apart? Chasing The Magic: Yeah. Yeah Lindee: Okay, so then start the fire research and the parade would be at nine. Chasing The Magic: Yeah. But... Noel's right next to me. But yeah. Lindee: Okay. Yep, now I should be able to. ⁓ I'm gonna have Chad do it. Chasing The Magic: I mean, I don't need like a detailed schedule. just want, you know, I just want the times of day I can't try to plan a yeah, yeah, essentially. Essentially. Okey dokey. well. Lindee: Right. Right. Cook a lightning one. Yeah. Got it. Chasing The Magic: Anything else going on? Lindee: yeah. Gifts are a thing, right? Like, they're gonna be happening. Chasing The Magic: ⁓ yeah. Yep, yep, yep. You got that. I guess? I don't know. Lindee: ⁓ I don't know either. bringing what we got you, so we should deal with it. ⁓ I'm assuming so. Chasing The Magic: Okay. But ⁓ like, don't really ever open gifts. No, Abby's opened. Abby opened baby shower gifts. can't remember about her wedding shower. definitely, baby showers are a little bit different though. I feel like everybody wants to see the cute stuff. ⁓ I don't remember. Lindee: Yeah. Right. I want to say I've seen people open their wedding jar stuff, Chasing The Magic: Well, I went to a bridal shower recently for another friend and she opened all her stuff, but it was also like maybe 15 people there. I'm like, you know, my family could never, you know, kind of thing. We'll see. Lindee: Maybe I will reach out to Chelsea or just ask her Friday. And if that's not the vibe, then I'll just bring it to your house. Chasing The Magic: Yeah. or you can just bring it to the wedding. Okay Lindee: it's rather cumbersome, so no, I will not be doing that. Chasing The Magic: ⁓ okay. Okay, that's fine. ⁓ Lindee: Y'all definitely aren't gonna open gifts at the wedding, so it's one less thing you have to lug around or whoever's doing that. Chasing The Magic: No, but... I know I got it. got us. I think it's all going in my parents vehicles. I think I don't know how exactly. I still don't really know. But yeah, shower. My family's coming into town. It'll be fun. ⁓ to see everyone. I don't know. They're coming in Thursday. Lindee: What are we doing? Chasing The Magic: And they're staying at my cousin Aaron's in So I don't know. I haven't even thought about it. It might just be something I got to see when they drive back, I guess. Let me ask when they're driving back. Lindee: Yeah, I mean, I think our. Saturday before the shower is pretty full. Chasing The Magic: ⁓ yeah, I don't want to do it before the shower. And think after the shower, my mom, I don't know if she's told anyone, I don't know if she still wants to do this. ⁓ was thinking the church is doing Loteria, which is like a Mexican bingo. ⁓ she was going to invite everyone there Saturday but I don't know. So I'm not really sure. Right now we're just kind of going the seat of our pants, but it'll be OK. Lindee: Yeah. Okay. Chasing The Magic: Great, well, let's I haven't actually asked Chad. Do you have any Dreamlight Valley updates? Lindee: I think, shoot, does that clothing festival start? Is it, is it Wednesday? It's probably Wednesday. Chasing The Magic: Yeah. Lindee: Yeah, so that's the thing that's happening. ⁓ Chasing The Magic: I do. my least favorite thing to ever happen at a floating island festival. Lindee: Well, I liked the Halloween one, the first one they did. I did not like the Christmas one because it was so hard to like find your way around. They like make it too crowded. They need to like chill out a little bit, but. Chasing The Magic: Yeah, yeah. Lindee: Yeah. Okay, so ⁓ FYI, this, what was reading, I've never noticed this before, but it says, ⁓ refer to the entertainment schedule to confirm show times two weeks prior. Chasing The Magic: Yeah, that's standard. Lindee: Okay, okay, so two eights for sure. We can check back and then we'll know. Chasing The Magic: Mm-hmm. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I just like to play around, you know. Lindee: Well, I'd to know and they need to tell me now. But anyway. Okay, anyway. Yeah, I mean, that's really, I played the other night for like an hour, hour and half. Yeah, I think. Chasing The Magic: I know. I know. Ooh, yeah, I played the other day too. Lindee: I was trying to get my, I finished the dioramas for Peaceful Meadow. Is what I was fixing. Chasing The Magic: still waiting on that dumb rabbit. I need the calico rabbit. Lindee: I can even tell you what day that. Chasing The Magic: Well, he was there a day I was playing, but it was at a time I wasn't playing. Lindee: Yeah, of course. Chasing The Magic: And it had already passed, I think, and I was like, that's annoying. So, right. ⁓ So Disney News, have you seen the new Make-A-Wish commercial? Has it made you cry? Lindee: not. Chasing The Magic: are doing a Disney week of wishes with Make-A-Wish and it celebrates kids wishes across the parks, cruises and experiences. Did you know that Disney is actually the largest wish-granter in the world for Make-A-Wish? Didn't that. ⁓ I it does track. Disney's World of Summer ⁓ is us everything. This is what Chad is telling me. Lindee: tricks. ⁓ I'm Chasing The Magic: But I think we've talked about this, the Cool Kids summer, Bingo and Bluey, ⁓ Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Live at Hollywood Studios. Lindee: Hmm. Yeah. We have talked about this because we mentioned it in one of our very first episodes, means we've been doing this for almost a year. Chasing The Magic: We have been doing this for almost a year. was, this current episode you're listening to is episode 49, which means we are close to have recording 50 episodes. Lindee: Because we only missed like what? Two maybe? Chasing The Magic: Maybe two weeks, yeah. Let's see, we've done all that. It's halfway to Halloween and Disney's like doing Clues this year. Which, have you seen like the weird little teasers? Like people are like dissecting them like, yeah, like it's a Taylor Swift Easter egg and I'm like, okay guys, like calm down. ⁓ Lindee: ⁓ yes, I saw that. The cards or something? Yeah. Thank Chasing The Magic: I I fed into it and I made a little post about it on my social media. But, the riddle of the first, of one of the first cards. On this shelf sits trinkets in dark gloom where keepsakes rest and secrets accrue. An upcoming trove waits to be found, observe what's stored and look all around. Special items are coming your way and may appear quicker the longer you gaze. And it's a picture with like different little spooky stuff on a shelf. You see some stuff from Haunted Mansion, The Hatbox Ghost, there's a Toy Story alien shadow. You see a Poison Apple, Ursula's tentacles, Maleficent figure, a Pumpkin King reference and also a Sally reference. So then the next one says, and it's a picture of like the Main Street gate with pumpkins and Mickey in the window. It says, When the pumpkin hour chimes, just write, a clock unveils secrets within sight. Check the hands and then count the patch. The harvest holds the first day to catch. there's certain letters that are capitalized, and on the card, you can see the clock hands on the 8th. So the ⁓ could be the 8th month or the 8th day. So a lot of people are guessing that it's going to start on August 7th. Lindee: Why the seventh? Chasing The Magic: because the eighth is a Saturday and normally, I'm just reading this from an article, normally parties don't start on Saturdays, they start on ⁓ then there was a new card, ⁓ yeah. Then there's a new card that dropped today. ⁓ me go see if I can find it. That one wasn't in the article. Chad is ⁓ his credibility. Disney Lindee: Okay, okay. So eighth month would be August 7th. Okay. Chasing The Magic: today was just a reel. It wasn't a card. It was a reel with Lady Tremaine and the evil stepsisters. And it says halfway there in the Tremaine's came prepared. So it just says, know, I know. I kind of like, ⁓ is kind of fun. It's kind of fun. We're, you know, so halfway to Halloween is coming up. It is my favorite. I all time favorite party. I just. Lindee: That's kind of fun though. Chasing The Magic: Yeah, I love the Halloween party. was beautiful, but I did not enjoy the Christmas party as much as I enjoyed the Halloween party. ⁓ but, and it might've been the time we went. ⁓ wasn't the best time to go. ⁓ maybe we should try the Christmas party at a different time. I don't know, ⁓ Lindee: Thank No. Yeah. Not at all. No, no. was just a party. you Chasing The Magic: So, and then on May 4th, we are getting a droid popcorn bucket. Lindee: Okay. Cool. Chasing The Magic: And that's about all the Disney news. All right, well, let's get into our topic of the week. We watched The Hulk. Lindee: Mm-hmm. The Incredible Hulk, think is the full, isn't it? Chasing The Magic: trying to go to the Incredible Hulk. Yup, the Incredible Hulk. So. Lindee: We were trying to make sure we watched the right one because I was like, wait, who plays the hook? It's not Mark Ruffalo? ⁓ Chasing The Magic: Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Yep. Yep. So you've never seen this movie before? Okay. I had. I have, yeah. Maybe only once or twice. Lindee: Nope. And you have, okay. I like I randomly watched that scene toward the end where they're on that college campus. ⁓ ⁓ but I don't know how. ⁓ don't know where would have watched it. But anyway, that's all I remember. Chasing The Magic: Okay. Okay, okay. So we are watching in release order. Yeah, now I... So we, so it says, we just came from billionaire chaos and now we're in government science trauma. That's funny. So. Lindee: Yeah. Well, what's funny was I was, cause like the intro, like the starting credits are going right. And I'm like still like messing around on my phone a little bit. Nick was like, you're already missing stuff. And I was like, what? So yeah, like I didn't realize how much of the story that had in it, but I mean, it starts the, it's like where the trauma stems from. Chasing The Magic: ⁓ huh. Yeah. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Lindee: Yeah, government science experiment gone wrong kind of thing. Yeah. Chasing The Magic: Yes. Now, I also have seen the Hulk from 2003. Lindee: 2003? Chasing The Magic: when I was, yeah, when I was watching. That one is Eric Bana. Lindee: ⁓ wasn't there was an even older one too with Lufarigno in it. Chasing The Magic: Yeah. Yes, yes, because I wanted to see, I kind of was like, the whole kind of, the whole changing of the Hulk, I guess. Lindee: Mm-hmm. Chasing The Magic: kind of interests me, but kind of doesn't. I'm like, whatever, the Hulk is Mark Ruffalo. Like, I don't know who these people are kind of thing, but. So yeah, I have seen that one too. But I definitely, I of like the older one better. Lindee: Okay. Chasing The Magic: which is, I think, hot take. Lindee: Well, I write, I mean, this one was like, I don't know, it's like pretty dark for Marvel. least like earlier Marvel, I feel like. Chasing The Magic: Yes. Yes. Yeah, which I think is why it has never been a super popular, you know? Lindee: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I don't know, overall though, like I enjoyed it. Like I felt like, you know. Chasing The Magic: Bye. Lindee: It had a good story. ⁓ guess, like, because I was asking Nick if he knew anything about, why Edward Norton didn't continue on with the character. And he was saying, like, I guess he wanted more of, like, a backstory for him, for Bruce Banner. And Marvel just didn't. ⁓ like, for it to be even darker. Chasing The Magic: Yeah, yeah, it did. Mm-hmm. Mmm. Lindee: and Marvel just, they just created differences, right? So like, they just parted ways. But. Chasing The Magic: You can tell that from his acting too. Like, you can definitely tell the difference in his acting versus Mark Ruffalo's whole, like, definitely more broody. He definitely, ⁓ could tell. Like, Mark Ruffalo's still kind of broody, but he also like, you know. ⁓ yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Lindee: Yeah. ⁓ yeah. He's still softer. He's like, yeah, more like sensitive. Yeah. Yeah. Chasing The Magic: So we have a very quick recap. Bruce Banner is on the run after a science experiment gone wrong. He turns into the Hulk when he gets angry and the government, Ross, wants to control or capture him. And he's trying to cure himself. So we talked about the opening, working a factory job, trying to control this transformation, and the accident causes the Hulk outbreak. you kind of talked about that. So the University of the Betty Ross reunion. Now, Bruce with Betty and the science explanation dumps the gamma radiation and the emotional tension in the history of the Betty Ross reunion. Now. we don't see a Betty Ross anymore. Now this is where like I am Lindee: you Chasing The Magic: I am like a light Marvel person. Like I like Marvel and I've watched all the movies, but I cannot recall if we see Betty Ross again. But from my memory, I don't remember her, like what happens to her. Lindee: Well. Chasing The Magic: So. Lindee: He, okay, so at the end. And I'm probably jumping ahead, but he, I just remember saying his, him saying her name because it's one of the few words he does say. And then he just leaves. Cause like, I think he knows like, he just, there's really no future. Chasing The Magic: No, that's fine. huh. Lindee: Like he can't be with her is what I got from it. But yeah, I it doesn't. mean, well, I don't know. You're more in depth about the Marvel movies than I am, I... Chasing The Magic: Okay. because I was just, so I did some reading on like the Marvel not the cinematic universe, just the universe and like they're considered married. Like they're considered spouses in like the Marvel canon and then she apparently becomes a character. So I wonder. ⁓ If will. ever see her again. And now I'm literally seeing YouTube clips. that Liv Tyler on her return to Betty Ross from February 14th, 2025. I wonder, and that's what I'm saying. Like there's been a couple movies that I haven't watched that I wonder if she's going to appear back in. And so apparently there's a, yeah. Lindee: ⁓ Yeah, I'm sure. Okay, well that's cool. Yeah, because he, he, he... One who leaves. Chasing The Magic: So yes, the Captain America, apparently I've never seen, A Brave New World, which came out in 2025, she's in. Lindee: Okay. Chasing The Magic: So we'll see her then. But so all the movies I've seen and kept up with, she has not been in. So which I think is a little, I would like to know that creative choice. And I wonder if we find stuff out about that in the fourth Captain America. Lindee: Okay. Chasing The Magic: So, yes. Lindee: my gosh. Nichols like you do realize this is gonna take you like I think he said half a year longer than that. Chasing The Magic: Probably like, no, more than that. I was thinking, if we do one, we're doing one movie a month, it's probably gonna take us two years. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's gonna take us a minute. But I mean, so is Star Wars, but it's, know, content. And I mean, I like the Marvel stuff. The Star Wars stuff I could leave at this point, but Marvel, we can keep on. Okay. Lindee: Okay, so yeah, yeah, yeah, maybe you said year and a half. Yeah. Right. Chasing The Magic: Where'd my outline go? Okay, so. the first time Lindee: Yeah, so they, they, sees them or thinks she sees them. Yeah. Chasing The Magic: Yeah. Yeah. The first big Hulk transformation, Bruce becomes Hulk in public, the government chase and destruction sequence. Hulk really said, I am leaving this conversation. D? Yeah. Yeah. Lindee: Where are you? Oh, I see it. Yeah. Chasing The Magic: ⁓ I mean, it was good. mean. good fight sequences, I mean. Lindee: Yeah, yeah, I wasn't like annoyed with that. was like, you know, okay, they make sense. ⁓ Chasing The Magic: No. Yeah. I definitely like a Marvel fight sequence over a Star Wars fight sequence, So I don't know what that says about me. Sorry not sorry. Lindee: Yes. No, I mean... Chasing The Magic: Okay, Blonsky becomes obsessed. Blonsky gets the experimental serum and he starts chasing Hulk energy. Lindee: I get it. Chasing The Magic: This man saw Hulk and said, I would like that but more toxic. ⁓ I have to say, what I was thinking when I watched this movie was they, ⁓ think the MCU and you'll see it further on, did a real good job of making their actual villains. like ugly and gross. So like there are some other villains that are like, we call them in the romance novel world morally gray. Like, yeah, they're kind of evil, like, know, they call they. ⁓ Lindee: Right, it's more like a, so I was thinking, I was giving the example, well, we were talking about Venom and Deadpool. So like they're kind of like anti-hero type. Although Venom is like straight up a villain, but you know, like he's still like funny. Like he's not all bad. Yeah. Chasing The Magic: Anti-heroes, yes, yes. Right. Yeah, yeah, but like the actual villains like Blonsky like I was like, ⁓ they like even in human form. I'm like, ⁓ he's kind of gross looking. But so I just thought it was funny. I Lindee: Yeah. Very soon. Yeah. Chasing The Magic: Sorry I lost my tune with that. Lindee: He's just, he's, there's no gray there. Yeah. Chasing The Magic: No, no, no. The Harlem fight, the final battle chaos, Hulk versus the Abomination, city destruction level maximum, and Betty and Bruce emotional resolution. I want to know and I don't know if I missed it in this watching and I think I've only seen it one other time. Why did they send them to Harlem? I remember them saying, go to Harlem, but why? Lindee: Was it because that's where the university was, that's where Mr. Blue was? Chasing The Magic: I like they were, I could be wrong. I feel like they were already at the university when they said go to Harlem. I could be wrong. I don't remember. ⁓ But I did, again, I loved that fight scene. I think. Lindee: or was that somewhere else? Okay. I Chasing The Magic: I like the fight scenes because they have more than just fighting. able to like, conversate and like, you can always learn something in these fight scenes about the characters or something happens. Lindee: Thank you. Chasing The Magic: Was it this one where like, was it this final fight scene? Yeah, it was this final fight scene where like, Hulk like recognizes Betty because, and then she like has to warn him that Bronski's behind him or the abomination, whatever they're calling it. And like, it's like, I don't know, he has that sense of recognition while he's in his Hulk form. I don't know. It just feels deeper to me. Lindee: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Well, it felt like, and throughout the movie too, like at first, when he first transformed, there was no control. And as the movie got, you know, as it went on, you could kind of tell, or I could kind of tell, it felt like to me, he gained more control and he was like more aware of who his real enemies were. Chasing The Magic: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah. Lindee: yeah, and who he didn't really need to hurt kind of thing. Because at the beginning I was like, ⁓ he's just looking at us straight up, killing everybody this whole time. So that's fun. Chasing The Magic: Yeah, like his like he's Yeah, has a sense of consciousness towards the end. And he's not just like in a state of not his right mind kind of thing. Lindee: Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah. But yes, I agree that the fight scenes are. fun to watch, guess. Chasing The Magic: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Lindee: could say. I want to know, do we see abomination again? Chasing The Magic: I don't think so. They didn't. I don't remember. That's a good question for our future selves. Lindee: He wasn't, they didn't kill him. And he did it. Yeah. I don't even, I think they left when left that, was it a rooftop? I don't know. Whatever that scene was, he was still in his like, abomination form. He he wasn't blond ski yet. Chasing The Magic: Mm-hmm. Right. And then obviously the end credit where Stark comes in and he's like, I hear you've got like a problem or something. Like, I guess we assume he's talking about Hulk, but you could also assume they're talking about the abomination since we don't know what happened. Lindee: Right. True. Chasing The Magic: don't remember. cannot honestly remember. But I also wish there were more Hulk movies. Like, this is the only... iteration of Hulk we get outside of the Avengers. Like you have Iron Man, have Captain America, you have Spider-Man. Black Widow even has her own movie. Lindee: Avengers, yeah. That's all. Well. Chasing The Magic: Hawkeye has a TV series. trying to think of the other ones. Thor has three movies, The Guardian of the Galaxy movies. you know, you this whole set of Avengers and Hulk just has this one little movie and it's not even, you know, Mark Ruffalo. I just feel like we could have done, they could done another one. You know, I don't know, maybe I'm wrong, but. Lindee: Yeah. Chasing The Magic: and maybe they didn't want to touch it because of like the whole two different actors thing or maybe there's Sony copyright issues. I think, you know, there's always something. Lindee: Yeah, yeah, right. Chasing The Magic: with Marvel, but I would have liked to see a new Hulk movie. A different story, because I mean, Spider-Man, there are three different movies with three different characters, but the Tom Holland does have, like, his iteration of Spider-Man, he does have multiple movies, too. Lindee: Right. Yeah, yeah, they can easily do it if they wanted to. For sure. Chasing The Magic: Yeah, yeah, that's okay. Lindee: I mean, they might one day, you never know. Chasing The Magic: You never know. Lindee: They were not about their ideas. It was funny. I know it was funny though. Cause after it was like the ending line basically. Cause Tony Stark was like, we're putting together a team ⁓ something. Didn't he? Didn't he? Okay. And so, and then the, basically the credits roll and then you see like your recommended watching is next. Chasing The Magic: Which I doubt, I don't think they are. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. ⁓ huh. Lindee: and it's like the Avengers popped up and we're like ⁓ well spoiler Chasing The Magic: Mine did too, yeah. alert! ⁓ Lindee: I've seen Avengers, but... Chasing The Magic: Yeah. Lindee: If anyone was living under a rock, they would be like, what? I haven't even seen the other movies. Chasing The Magic: If someone was in a coma, yeah. All right, else about the whole? Lindee: Well. Sorry, I was telling you about the hail and rockwell. ⁓ Chasing The Magic: ⁓ jeez. Lindee: I do we want to do the superlative thing? Chasing The Magic: We can. Lindee: We could do, do you want to do all of them? I don't know if I know how to answer all of them. Chasing The Magic: I know, I don't either, I was looking at him. character. ⁓ Lindee: Yeah, I mean, I would say. Chasing The Magic: I guess? Yeah, that's Bruce Banner, most chaotic energy. I would say Blonsky, honestly. Lindee: Most chaotic, yeah, for sure. Or honestly, her dad. Her dad was. Chasing The Magic: Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Right? He was crazy too. ⁓ Most confusing decision. Lindee: Yeah, he kind of was like, ⁓ well he was like chaos coordinator. Chasing The Magic: He was like what? Yeah, he was. most confusing decision. Lindee: I don't know. I don't even know it. Chasing The Magic: I know. I'm trying to... I feel like Dr. Blue or Mr. Blue, whatever he was, like... Lindee: Okay, yes. What happens with him? Yeah. Yeah. Chasing The Magic: making all the blood or something, whatever he was doing with all his blood. To me, that was like, I was like, what is happening here? I don't think anything happens to him. That's again, why we need another Hulk movie. What happened to all these characters? Yeah. Lindee: Right. was a weird little side quest. Yeah, well, but like, remember this stuff like drift on his head and then it started making weird changes and but then it didn't do anything else and that was it. I wonder Mr. Blue comes in again at some point in any of the movies. ⁓ he turn into a villain? Chasing The Magic: I don't remember. I don't, I can't remember. I can't remember. And if I, I know. Like I said, The Hulk is probably the movie I've seen the least. So I can't, I don't always remember, ⁓ Lindee: Okay. Chasing The Magic: I know. Lindee: Well, yes, I agree with you. I the most confusing decision. That was really weird. Chasing The Magic: you hang out with them? ⁓ don't even know what that means. It says, no survivors expected. Lindee: What? That's weird. I don't even know how to answer that. Chasing The Magic: I know Chad. All right, Chad. Lindee: off the rails here, buddy. Chasing The Magic: Yep, yep. Okay, so we kind of already talked about Tony Stark. Talks to General Ross, mentions assembling a team. Yeah. Lindee: This video is 40 % running, 60 % yelling. Chasing The Magic: You Lindee: you know what, what's sad though is that I guess it was after the first time he transformed cause it was, he was still in Portugal and then he wakes up or whatever and he asked for that ride and he's in Guatemala. And I'm like, I'm so bad at geography. don't even know how far away that ⁓ And was like, it's far away. I was like, okay. Chasing The Magic: Okay, that is funny. Yeah Lindee: He was like, he ran a time. was like, okay, got it. Oh my gosh. Chasing The Magic: He ran forever. Yeah, he runs a lot. Yeah, but I also feel like he could like his mile is like two steps, you know Lindee: Yeah, ⁓ shoot, how did we even watch the end credits? Chasing The Magic: What? Lindee: I didn't watch it. Yeah. Okay, so, no. What? No, but this says it shows up at a bar. I'm, no, I'm talking about the phone call. Chasing The Magic: With Tony Stark? You talked about it! Tony Stark. ⁓ you didn't see that with Ross. Lindee: there was just a phone call. Chasing The Magic: No, he was at the bar and he said, Hey, I heard you're having some issues. I'm assembling a team. Lindee: Okay. don't think I watched that, but... Maybe I did. That's what I remember. I don't remember it being at a bar. It sounded just wrong. Chasing The Magic: I mean... No, it was at a bar. I remember it being at a bar. Because you see Ross, he's drinking and he looks like sad and depressed. And then Tony Stark, like the door opens and like you can tell it's like Tony Stark's silhouette and he walks in. Lindee: Okay. Okay. I don't remember that part, but I remember the conversation. Okay, well, anyway. Chasing The Magic: Interesting. Next up on our MCU rewatch is Iron Man 2. Lindee: For real. When did that come out 10 Chasing The Magic: Yep. 2000 and I don't know, I'll have go back to Chad. Lindee: They probably release a movie every two years. Chasing The Magic: I think they released Iron Man. No, I think they were doing it every year. Iron Man was 2008, Hulk was 2008. Oh yeah, Iron Man 2 was 2010. then Thor in 11, then Captain America in 11, and then the Avengers in 12. So it's really after, once Iron Man 2 comes out, it's one movie a year, it looks like, for a while. Yeah. Lindee: Okay. feel like that's how it's been since then, because dang, there's so many movies. Chasing The Magic: Yeah. Yeah, yeah. All right. Lindee: Yeah, ⁓ was very, it was very clear though, like this noted that, you know, they're definitely all connected, like that's no secret. So it's kind of cool to like already see that building. Chasing The Magic: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Right, right. Lindee: and to get more context of it. Chasing The Magic: Yeah, and it just keeps building and keeps building and keeps building. Lindee: Mm-hmm. Okay. So that will be what in that will be Chasing The Magic: Alrighty. May, end of May. I don't know what our schedule. Let go back to the schedule. Okay. Lindee: Yeah, end of May. Chasing The Magic: I'm gonna eat well. Lindee: I was going to say, Jenna came over this weekend, we were talking about the podcast. was like, what were the two songs that reminded me two songs you couldn't decide between? And I told her, and she was like, well, I guess if I had to choose one, it would be I'll Make a Man Out of You, just because of how fun it is to sing. And I like, yeah, yeah. That really should. Chasing The Magic: Yeah, that's a good one. Yeah, that's a good one. It's a good one. Yeah. Lindee: be mine too. So maybe Jenna's the tiebreaker. It really is. But I didn't, we didn't get any other comments, assuming. Chasing The Magic: comments. I didn't get notifications that we did, so let me double check. me double check. Nope. Lindee: Gotcha. That's okay. Chasing The Magic: I know. It's okay. It's okay. One of these days maybe. Lindee: having fun. Maybe, well, I'm not the right person to ask about all that engagement ⁓ Chasing The Magic: I know, think we, yeah, I need to do better about it, but honestly, it's all right now. ⁓ Lindee: It is alright. Chasing The Magic: Maybe. But it's OK. Share it with your friends. your friends. All Well, week we should have some special guests ⁓ and then if it all works out. Cross your fingers. Alright, and I'm stopping. Lindee: Yep, that'll be fun.
