  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, got a few things for you to
• 0:10
  look at today. Some trailers. The first one was dropped
• 0:15
  on the weekend after I did my podcast. Isn't that
• 0:22
  always the way? It's like they know it's after several
• 0:28
  false starts, Paramount's finally making good on its many years
• 0:32
  old promise to give Michelle Yoe a Star Trek vehicle
• 0:36
  of her own. Section thirty one puts the once evil
• 0:39
  version of Philippa Georgio center stage, and it's news trailer,
• 0:43
  it's a movie, and it puts the emphasis on action
• 0:47
  and a ragtag crew that'll be aiding her in her exploits.
• 0:51
  And it's section thirty one, what are you doing in
• 0:53
  my space station?
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: I'm giving you a chance to get back in on
• 0:56
  the action on a coacted scale. What a cute idea.
• 1:06
  The only way this works is if I know exactly
• 1:09
  what I'm dealing with.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: The movie picks up with Giorgio living out her days
• 1:13
  in the Prime Universe as the owner of a fancy
• 1:15
  club on a space day Gather your People. All seems
• 1:20
  well until a section thirty one Agent a Lock shows up.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Cops division, spywork. It's just a place for people to
• 1:28
  bend their.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Rules, starts lead this year to make sure no one
• 1:30
  commits murder. She shows up looking to recruit her into
• 1:33
  its Black Ops Division Section thirty one.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: It's worse than you thought.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: The mission go off the books and handle a new
• 1:40
  threat to the Federate that the Federation can't.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Work together and don't get dead. I'll try my hardest.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Starfleet's Rachel Garrett maybe there to stop the team from
• 1:53
  breaking too many rules. But Georgio and her crew, no,
• 1:56
  they'll definitely be getting their hands dirty.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: What you said that she was going to be doing
• 2:02
  a face punching.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: So you've got a changeoid spy. You've got an exo
• 2:09
  suit wearing guy named zepp Uh. Yes, it's it's a
• 2:14
  spy show. It's a spy show in the Star Trek universe.
• 2:18
  Loves her name in it. She's great kicking with her
• 2:23
  high heels. And what's interesting is that, you know, I've
• 2:27
  always blamed Star Wars fans for being the worst fans
• 2:29
  because they they seem to hate everything and themselves. It's
• 2:34
  leaking into Star Trek and it's making me sick because
• 2:37
  the Star Trek fans, for some reason, a certain number
• 2:40
  of them are this doesn't look anything like Star Trek ever, Mike,
• 2:45
  I can't. Why can't you have something new, different and interesting?
• 2:49
  How about that? Anyway? Another trailer for you, Invincible season three.
• 2:55
  This is on Prime Video.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Of course, I can never trust you with either Mark
• 2:59
  or all of lives, no matter what, ouch, Oliver, you
• 3:03
  got to look out for other people.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: You guys are in big trouble.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Oh you want to call for help? Too bad. You're
• 3:11
  outnumbered and out class.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: And out of luck.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: And now I say something. With you on our side,
• 3:18
  we can win this war. I'm not on any one's side.
• 3:22
  I just graced my people, so help me, Mark and whatever.
• 3:27
  That other kid's name is, Stop the Empire.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Yes, so it's a yeah season three. It's it's it's
• 3:33
  based on the comic, so if you've read the comic,
• 3:35
  you know the story. It's the eventual Vltremite invasion is
• 3:41
  on their way and only Mark as Invincible can save us.
• 3:46
  He's got some new powers now though. February sixth is
• 3:49
  where the first three episodes will drop, followed by a
• 3:53
  new one every week until March thirteenth. Invincible season three,
• 3:57
  So go watch the trailer. Let's see we've got another
• 4:01
  little trailer. Here, this is oh, this is this is
• 4:04
  more up Katie's alley. Here, it's a horror. It's a horror.
• 4:09
  It's Yellow Jacket season three. The first look. I can't
• 4:14
  believe we didn't eat the first.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: I want to know what happened out there. Displace will
• 4:23
  follow us the rest of our lives.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Are you hearing this? What having.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Someone?
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: And this is a This is the introduction of Hilary
• 4:36
  Swank joining the.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Cat about this or either us or dead? You're not
• 4:43
  in charge anymore.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: And it looks just as creepy as the other seasons
• 4:51
  a while, Yeah, it seems like it. Yeah, I mean
• 4:54
  we were talking about that the other day, and that
• 4:56
  you know shows they go away for a couple of years,
• 4:59
  they show up up for eight or ten episodes, they're good,
• 5:02
  but after a couple of years, wait, you you've kind
• 5:05
  of either forgotten lost excitement or forgotten about it. So anyway,
• 5:10
  something to think about. The the much pilloried Joker Too,
• 5:18
  which made no money in the theaters, and it was
• 5:22
  this was how bad it was?
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: All right? Uh?
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: The from Variety Peter de Bruges went when it was
• 5:28
  in theaters, referred to it as a scandalously unpopular sequel.
• 5:33
  It feels like Joker hates us, or, more to the point,
• 5:36
  as if Todd Phillips turned on his original audience. Also,
• 5:42
  he says he spoke to theater managers. They reported a
• 5:44
  strange phenomenon, people canceling their tickets or simply not showing up.
• 5:49
  That's wow. Well, who who was this for? For people
• 5:54
  who like the first one? No, no, but it's not well.
• 5:57
  They didn't make a movie that people that liked the
• 5:59
  first one would like. My friend Rebecca swears that she's
• 6:02
  one of the few apologists for this movie. She swears
• 6:05
  that it it works with the first one, and makes
• 6:08
  a point about the audience. Maybe maybe it does hate us,
• 6:13
  you know, maybe that was the message that they were
• 6:15
  trying to convey. I don't know, but what I'm getting
• 6:18
  at is, you can finally see it on Max on
• 6:20
  December thirteenth. You can finally not watch it. You could
• 6:23
  finally not watch it on Friday. I will I probably
• 6:27
  will not watch it, so you can skip that on
• 6:31
  I'm gonna pencil it in there, skip skip Joker two
• 6:35
  on Friday. There. I'll watch it for you and see
• 6:45
  I count on you to do that. There is something
• 6:48
  there anyway,
