• 1:10
  Speaker 1: to go to planets that have a a red sum
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: not a yellow sun. Yeah, because she doesn't have powers there,

• 2:13
  Speaker 1: an anti hero story. She's got a lot of demons,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: a lot of baggage coming into this, which is very
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: different from where Superman is in his life.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: And James Gunn, who did not.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Write or direct this, by the way, produced he's you know,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: he's just in charge of DC Studios. He said so
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: many times female female superheroes are so perfect. She's not

  Speaker 1: that at all like male superheroes have been allowed to
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: be for a while.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Supergirl is going to be messy. So there you go.

  Speaker 1: It's uh, let's see the open It does open in
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: where is that.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Summer? Yeah?
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: But yeah, anyway, that's that's very cool. Another very cool trailer. Oh,

  Speaker 1: and Rob reminds me she's not so much a party
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: girl as she's dealing with PTSD because her entire planet.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: She was there when Krypton was destroyed, not like Clark
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: who was sent away before it was destroyed. She had
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: to watch it all happen.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that'll do something to you, which will mess you up.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: Did you say who's in this?
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Did you mention the actresses? Let's see Millie Alcock.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: Oh, I know who that is.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: She's from House of the Dragon.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, she was in Game of Thrones and I first
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: saw her in this great tim mentioned and it.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Was funny because James Gunn said, we're casting Supergirl, what
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: about that girl from House of the Dragon. I like
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: that show, you know, And that's how she got the job.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Was Actually another trailer that we got is for street Fighter,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: the Street Fighter movie based on the game. Now, as
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: you recall, there's Mortal Kombat right then they're street Fighter.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: They're very I mean they're fighting games. They're similar, but
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: they're also very different, especially in the look and style.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Now, the Street Fighter trailer.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: I mean it's it's like cartoon, you know, it's.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: But it's yeah, it's it's got a huge cast.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Most of the characters from the game, and some that
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: are only in the game just briefly are in it.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: But the most interesting.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Casting, I mean, you got Jason Momoa as Blanca, who's
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: this big green alien you know that makes sense and everything.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: A couple of interesting casting. Orville Peck as Vega.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Figure he's the singer. Yeah, Eric andre As Don Savage,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: who is like the host of the game. It's it's
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: very funny. But the strangest casting of them all is now,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: remember when they did the Street Fighter movie before Raoul
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Julia played this character m Bison, David Deshmollion is cast.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: As this fighting character.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: It's kind of hard.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: Skinny little dude.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: Seen him in a lot of stuff. He was in
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: that Late Night with the Devil.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he was Desk Mouch.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: He's been in dozens of things.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: He's always a bad guy. No often. I Kyle Mooney
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: as Marvin.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's such an odd cast and an
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: odd looking film.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: I hope it works. I hope it works. Then the other.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Little bit of a trailer that we got to look
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: at was the you got like twenty seconds of this
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: new Green Lantern TV series because it's it's all tucked
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: inside of this coming in twenty twenty six on HBO
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: MAC all of these things. It's all the shows, you know,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: so you get all the shows, but you get.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Like twenty seconds of the Green Lantern. It's called Lanterns.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: I trained my entire life for this.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: You're not ready to get from the class tip orring
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: to say, you all and that's about all you get.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: But it looks like a cop show, which is what
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: it's going to be, is there.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: You know, it's like I'm getting too old for this
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: s kind of thing.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: Did you see Brian Fuller has a new movie coming out,
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: I Did Not Dust Bunny. Yeah, with Mad's Michelson. It
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: should be really good. Yeah. Well, I know you'll talk
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: about it.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Next event eventually, let's see.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Anyway, So there's all that, and then Disney has agreed
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: to a licensing deal with an open AI company called Sora.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: And what it is is it's a three year licensing agreement.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: It allows users to create and share videos using more
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: than two hundred animated characters from Disney, Marvel, Pixar, and
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Star Wars.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: It weird that they would do that.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: The same day they did this deal, they sued Google
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: for using their characters. Yeah, but it's funny because Bob
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Iger says, you know what's great about this is that
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: you know, people will be able to make videos of
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: their favorite Disney characters saying like happy birthday to their kids.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but they'll use it for other things too. Yeah,
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: that's exactly.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: And I don't know why they would do that, and so.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: I file this under the category of what could go wrong?
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Is Bob Eiger that naive?
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, come on, he's been on the internet.
