and you hear Motley Crue's got a new album coming out, like the dude's alive, you know the hype is there for that and they fucking knocked it out of the park. alive you know the hype is there for that and they fucking knocked it out of the park jesus like god bless rock and roll where that's like a real thing it's like yeah that was the album they were sober for and after what a fucking world we live in well you know what all that matters is that's coming down the road we got a fox family member and the lights in my mom's basement are staying on for at least a little while because we got ads to pay the bills

beautiful yeah thank god because you know mom was like, listen, you're going to have to start paying rent around here if you're using the basement for this podcast with your friends all the time. And MVMT and SimpliSafe came through. So let's get to what we got to talk about today. We got four main topics we have to talk about that have all been pretty amazing news or trailers that have dropped since we last met in the basement, Clem. First off, at D23, we got a new look at The Rise of Skywalker,

a pretty cool trailer that featured the entire Star Wars saga. So first it showed the original trilogy stuff, then it showed prequel trilogy stuff, it got into the sequel trilogy. I love that they did it in that order, by the way. Did you notice in the trailer they did release order instead of chronological order? Amazing. Shout out release order people out there. And at the end of it, we got some new footage from The Rise of Skywalker.

We got to see the whole gang on Pasaana, where there was – that's the sand planet, the new sand planet, where there was, you know, festivals going on and shit. We saw Kylo getting out of his ship on some kind of dusty snow planet, maybe. And most notably, we saw Rey, our girl Rey, even though you didn't love The Last Jedi, you know, you do like The Force Awakens, I believe Rey is, like, maybe the only character that you're still very in on. I still fucks with Rey. Team Rey still. Yep, still fuck with Rey. One of the, like, few, admittedly the few, but she's one of, like, the only character that you're still very in on. I still fuck with Rey. Team Rey still. Yep, still fuck with Rey. One of the few, admittedly the

few, but she's one of the new characters I've always been a fan of. We get a shot of her wielding a new red double-bladed lightsaber that looks like Darth Maul's, but it unfolds. So it kind of

goes side by side. It looks like when it's folded up, it looks like she's holding a pair of binoculars. And there's a lightsaber coming out of each eye hole, I guess. It's fucking awesome. I'll say that. Two, what the fuck? I'm worried. I'm worried. I'm very worried.

You know what it reminded me of, even though it's not the same motion? Did you – I mean, I might be dating myself by even bringing this up. When you were a kid, did you have those little things that looked like a knife and it was a comb? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, when push comes, I get, like, you know when you have, like, your favorite toy, you get, like, butterflies in your stomach? I still get butterflies in my head. I didn't even have, like, hair as a kid.

I still was, like, shaving my head. And I just love that fucking thing so even if ray just is like she's like you know what i'm gonna make this lightsaber red and just like turn it into a little you know comb flip thing i'd be fucked with it but i think this kind of leads credence to my skywalker it's the light and the dark side of things i think ray that's exactly what she's going for here what do you mean that's exactly what she's going for here remember when me and you and ken jack we were on here and uh we were talking i said i think the rise of skywalker means the rise of like almost a force neutral being and i think ray has already been trained in the light side and i think this is ray's you know dark side little freaky deaky stuff i think

that's what she's coming out with here so that that's your theory on the whole uh the whole shindig the whole new lightsaber by the way before we even move on from your comb analogy there if if lucasfilm doesn't have those in production come on forget about lucasfilm and we already know lucas they they make their money this is a disney disney yeah yeah true like when they like approve the script like listen we need like 18 000 pieces of pieces of merch that are completely new like i don't want to start spoiling endgame who hasn't seen it because that's apparently still a thing but like the new gauntlet will just you know call yeah yeah they're like we need to sell 800 million of those things and like they're gonna sell 1800 800 million of these goddamn double lightsabers i can't believe i can't already buy one i've been watching the trailer i've watched it a

thousand times clem i've watched that gif a thousand times. I just think it's so cool. I want to have one in the office. We have all that open space in the office now. I want to just be able to if I'm brainstorming a new blog, if I'm trying to think of a new video idea, something like that, trying to get a guest for the

podcast, I want to be able to walk around, fucking whip that lightsaber open, and just start swinging it like it's Darth Maul's lightsaber or whatever. I actually remember getting Darth Maul's lightsaber for my birthday when I was like four years old. It was a huge one when you got the double-bladed, because, I mean, that's a whole new fold to the lightsaber game. And when your cousins come over and you're like, everyone pick a lightsaber, you always

have the cousin that will be like, give me the double-bladed one. It's like, all right, now we're in business. People are working with different shit here. See, I don't know, man. I don't know if I like this lightsaber right now. I just don't understand why she – like this seems reckless. It seems like a reckless move. I know there was a whole debate in the office about it.

I'm a little worried. Like, Ray, you're not ready for this kind of life here you like her she's barely even been trained so far well well here's there there's a ton of theories out there right so so i i've looked through a couple hundred of them and the there there's theories about this ray maybe being a clone there's theories about this being not even in the movie you know trailer trailer disguise or whatever i i don't necessarily believe in that one a lot of people are saying maybe it's a blue double-bladed light saber she's working with or a green one but in the trailer they've uh discolored it and they they've made it red and they've put her in dark robes and that's like a

you know they're getting one over on us i don't think they would do that simply because there's too much merch to be sold with dark side ray and you wouldn't give that away and then like take it away from the viewer because it would also be a weird thing like think of the casual star wars fan that's like oh i heard ray is gonna have a red lightsaber in this one and they go see it and then she doesn't like it would just be weird so i don't think that's the case um i heard some people say that this could be a force vision and i think that that that there could be some credence to that simply because well not simply because first of all you look at that and you're like there's no way that's real that's got to be a vision or something um but also because

right before they cut to that in the trailer you you hear a little sound effect, a little Darth Vader breathing thing that sounds exactly like the sound effect that hits when she first touches that Skywalker saber in The Force Awakens and goes through her first Force vision. So I think that could be the case. My favorite theory, though, that I blogged, I'd like to bring it up on the podcast. It comes from Star Wars Speculation, the subreddit. What is subreddit, by the way?reddit oh yeah it's one of my favorites i know there's like subreddits out there for leaks and shit star wars speculation doesn't put up with leaks star wars speculation is just uh people going in spreading fan theories and also i'll tell everyone this fan theory but i'm gonna put the same little uh little note on it that I put in my blog.

This is just a theory. Don't ruin Star Wars like people ruined Game of Thrones and all that shit with theory culture and all that. And if this doesn't happen, don't be super upset that it doesn't happen and make a YouTube video with a crazy thumbnail complaining to J.J. Abrams and Kathleen Kennedy. Like stop taking theory so seriously, people. The realization of entertainment and pop culture is like – it's ruined a lot of things. Game of Thrones being the biggest. The first I can remember was True Detective, right? Yeah. It ended up making it a better show, but I'm with you on that.

Yeah. I feel like it's just gotten like almost too far. So it's like just take theories for what they are. It's just people speculating about the movie, hoping things will happen. Here's my favorite theory on what this dark side rate could be. And let me also state that I don't think this will be true. I just enjoy thinking about it. I think this is a force vision.

That's my real official on the record. It's a force vision. That's my real official on the record. It's a force vision. But my favorite theory is that they will be using the same beats from the main plot line of The Force Unleashed 2, the old Star Wars video game, the 2010 Star Wars video game in this movie, meaning Rey is a clone designed to be the perfect pupil and the perfect force user. She was designed by, let's say, the perfect force user she was uh designed by let's say the emperor who's coming back in this movie and um there were say dozens of ray made but only two survived one that wound up on jakku and is the one that we've been with the entire you know sequel trilogy that we know and love and one that has been with the Emperor in the Outer Rim as his apprentice.

And is super strong with the Force. And that is Darkseid Rey. So there is a good Rey. There is a bad Rey. A few things this sets up. One, Rey vs. Rey. We saw Captain America vs. Captain America. It was fucking awesome.

I'm not turning down Rey vs. Rey. That's Jakku's ass right there. Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. awesome i'm not turning down ray versus ray two that's jack who's ass right there oh absolutely absolutely if uh two if kylo ren sees dark side ray maybe he says oh man you know fucks with his head or something and then he turns and he's redeemed or something he has a noble sacrifice whatever three it makes that scene from the last jed Jedi where she falls into the Dark Side cave and sees all those clones that much better. It's like, oh wow, they were teasing it all along. Rey has been a clone.

Also, you could look into, like, who is Rey? You know, who is she a clone of? How was she created? She was created with the Force, with a little bit of Palpatine DNA, with a little bit of Anakin Skywalker DNA. And fuck it, where did that hand wind up when Darth Vader cut it off Luke? Maybe it wound up with the Emperor in possession of the Emperor, a little Luke Skywalker DNA. I dig that part of it because I believe, wasn't in one of the books or whatever, there was a Luke clone, right, off of the hand? Yes, and that was, I believe his name was Luke.

They used two U's. That was literally the way they wrote it. They just used two U's, which is horrible. So, like, I hope they don't do that. But you think back to, like, alright, J.J.'s making this movie. What was the original shot of The Force Awakens in J.J.'s

original draft of that movie? It waske's hand floating through space that would have been horrible i think i think that would have been so awkward and weird but he's obviously got some fascination with his hand so i don't know it could work it could work and i'm also not going to let this fly as a friend as a as a as a fellow frequenter of your mom's basement, it would make that scene from Last Jedi good, because it's not even a good scene.

It's a bad scene. Come on. It's a cool scene. It's a cool scene. By the way, as I was saying all that, I can't believe I even forgot to mention this, but last night, Jared Karabas comes over our apartment. Frequent My Mom's Basement guest, Jared Karabas.

We all know him. We all love him. We watched All Out. It was the AEW pay-per-view. We watched some Red Sox baseball. We just had a good night on the couch, chilling. We also watched Return of the Jedi. It was Jared's first Star Wars movie of all time.

And I don't recommend anyone start with episode six. But after All Out, I turned on the TV and on TNT, Return of the Jedi was just starting. It was literally, I turned it on and it was the someone who loves you scene, which is one of my favorite scenes in that entire movie. If you listen to my episode with Ken Knapsack, I said that was one of my most underrated scenes in all of Star Wars. So I turned that on. I'm like, oh, fuck. What a great scene. Someone who loves you. Princess Leia.

This is the hottest Carrie Fisher ever looked. Whatever. Jared says, I've never seen Star Wars. He starts asking questions. Jabba the Hutt shows up on the screen. He immediately says, wait, Jabba the Hutt. I know Jabba the Hutt. Is he a bad guy?

And I said, yeah. Jared had no idea he was a bad guy his whole life. He's been living thinking Jabba the Hutt. Is he a bad guy? And I said, yeah. Jared had no idea he was a bad guy his whole life. He's been living thinking Jabba the Hutt was a good guy. Jared sat on my couch and until 3 a.m. watched the entire movie. And I got to tell you, Clem, I think he enjoyed himself. That's how it starts. It starts with one. Then you start rolling.

You go back. And, of course, when you got me next to you, I'm giving you like the – I feel like a tour guide. Like I'm giving you the second screen experience. And I'm like check this out that's carrie fisher's coke nail right there like i know the scene where it comes up i could point it out i could give him all those little tidbits so i gotta tell you i think he was enjoying enjoying himself um there were certain scenes like the speeder bike chase he was like oh man these special effects are rough but yeah it's 1983 man they were revolutionary all the muppets in jabba's palace that's kind of tough and then obviously

the ewoks are like before this latest trilogy i'd say the most divisive part of the star wars well we had a big conversation about that as well and uh i i got him on my side with a ton of like really uh leaning like descriptions of ewoks i was like well i said these are some you know some of the most controversial things in all of star wars and he said why i said well idiots and people who don't like fun say and you know i told them what people say about ewoks and then i said smart people who enjoy star wars and are uh are enjoyers of fun and joy love Ewoks. They're great.

They're little teddy bears. They defeat the Empire with sticks and stones. It's hysterical. But yeah, it was just – I felt the need to bring that up because it's always great when you could bring someone into the Star Wars family and they have a good experience. There's nothing that warms my heart more than – you and Trent just living together warms my heart. And then here at the Jard is like a frequent visitor and you got the three of you just hang out. And like, you can't get like more people

with more diverse interests, but just like the same, like just a nice, you all just have nice souls. And it's just, you're all together. Jared's in Red Sox world. Trent's fucking watching Iowa football. You're watching like, you know, underground wrestling tapes from like the 60s.

And it's like, everyone just gets along and everyone's cool with each other he's coming over right after we record this podcast he's like text me when you're done i'm coming over again we're gonna maybe watch another fucking star wars movie and trent by the way that corn boy we're not letting him off the hook he argued that darth maul's lightsaber is way more uh effective and way more innovative than the new raid double-bladed lightsaber. And I said, listen, if you're going to argue that you're going to have to watch the prequels. You're going to have to come on my mom's basement with me and Clem and talk about them because I think we will have a blast talking about the three of

those train wreck movies with, uh, with corn boy trend. Yeah, we, we actually remember we were, I wanted to do the, um,

I think do the rewatch. We still got to do that commentaries over, uh, over, over over the prequels i'm definitely in for that and we have like you said we have to have fran in because little known thing about our girlfriend is that she dressed up as padme for halloween like five years in a row or something like soup to nuts like she was the painted face the whole painted face it's such a funny picture she was like the queen padme amadala from uh from the phantom menace this is fran from

chicks in the office we're talking about by the way if you're not aware and it's like i texted her this is such a funny picture because you're like a space political leader you're an over-the-top space political leader as a four-year-old you got the full painted face the headdress it's hysterical she'll be on the prequels pod with uh as well. Let's move on from Dark Side Ray and let's talk more about the prequels themselves, actually, when we discuss Ewan McGregor coming back, reprising his role as Obi-Wan Kenobi. Finally, no more rumors, no more hearsay. This is official. Obi-Wan Kenobi will have his own Disney Plus show. All the scripts are written.

They start filming next year. It'll take place eight years following Revenge of the Sith. And it's going to be on Disney Plus. I cannot wait for this. This was one of the coolest announcements we got all summer for me. Count all of the Comic-Con stuff. Count all of the D23 stuff. Just the way they did it, where Ewan McGregor got on stage and he said,

Kathleen, can you ask me in front of all of these people, all of these witnesses, can you please ask me, am I going to play Obi-Wan Kenobi again? Ewan? Yes? Are you going to play Obi-Wan Kenobi again? And he just sounded so goddamn relieved and validated and happy to be able to say, Yes. All right, so I'm going to use my Clem Sports analogy right now.

I'm going to burn it right now early in the podcast so I get it in. It's like a card. We've got to get you a physical card that you could play like it's a Pokemon or something. I'm catching it now. You can't hold the prequels against Ewan McGregor. He was a victim of poor everything from the top on down, starting with George Lucas. You can't hold him against him. He deserves to be in it it it's just like saquon barkley on last year's giants the the guy shined as bright as a star could shine and he couldn't do anything with all the

shit around him so just let him he gets a pass here i if you're gonna do an obi-wan movie you can't throw another person in as obi-wan because we've already done this with spider-man we have toby mcguire we have andrew garfield wefield we have fucking Tom Holland I don't want any more Spider-Man even even to not to cut you off but a more recent example look at Solo yes which which we both I think you enjoyed Solo right I mean I like Solo I I enjoy it I think it's fine it's it's not my favorite it's uh definitely not like Rogue One status for me. But, you know, it wasn't as successful as it was intended to be, obviously. Yeah, I mean, it's like a, I don't know.

I don't think I like Solo. Oh, man. It was like a C to a C- in my book. Like, as soon as we walked out, my brother, who's a huge Star Wars guy, and I, like, we picked apart, like, three or four, like, massive plot holes. And we're not trying to be plot hole people. We've never been like that. But we're like, Woody Harrelson just didn't give a shit that his wife died, basically.

And he was like, all right, see you later. And then, like, that was that. And then it just moved on. It definitely felt like a movie that was, like, basically directed by two people, which essentially was what it was. And the one thing about Solo that still just grinds my gears to this day is when he says, who are your people? What's your last name? And he's like, I don't have any people. And he's like, huh, huh, hmm.

Well, drumroll, please. Han Solo. That hurt. Han Solo! That, that hurts. And then Han, who fucking doesn't give a shit about what anyone thinks about him and never has, just decided to keep that name for the rest of his life based on what that stupid fucking Imperial said? It's straight out of, it's the prequel shit. That was like a prequel move right there, which I don't like it. I just don't like it one bit. But, we'll go back to the prequel

side of the thing yeah yeah yeah we don't mean to get angry we're discussing good news here yeah yeah this is good news oh he deserves it you don't want to throw it like a fucking third obi-wan into the mix and then if this pan if this sucks you have to then get another obi-wan for like some reboot they're going to do just let it work with him he wants to do it the fans want him to do it like just treasure the one good thing you guys got out of these prequels is that guy doing that character so i mean i'm in for it uh i'm i'm excited i now what what is it exactly is it uh is it a movie is it going to be on disney i don't know how any of this stuff's working with disney plus anymore i don't know this one is a disney plus series i'm a little confused as to how this is going to work because this has been rumored for so long the obi-wan the ewan mcgregor returned

to the obi-wan role we talked about it um it was heavily rumored for star wars celebration orlando in 2017 um when you and me were there yeah it like heavily heavily rumored everyone thought it was getting announced there and i remember like last year a director and a writer were Yeah. to become a series script or if they've thrown that out and brought someone else in. I don't know what is going on in terms of that, but they said all of the scripts are written. They're beginning filming next year. There's a lot of cool possibilities

for this, by the way, I thought, in terms of, you know, fans have wanted this for so long. Everyone loves Ewan McGregor. Everyone loves the Obi-Wan character. Everyone has wanted a return to this role, especially since Disney acquired Lucasfilm and announced all these spin-Wan character. Everyone has wanted a return to this role, especially since Disney acquired

Lucasfilm and announced all these spin-offs and shit. You can bring Hayden Christensen back here in the flashback form. You can have Obi-Wan on Tatooine. We don't know what Obi-Wan's really going to be doing, but he's got to be watching that fucking kid. And by that kid, I mean Luke

Skywalker. So he's got to have some time to himself where he's thinking and we hit flashbacks you could bring back uh samuel l jackson as mace windu i saw someone even threw up the theory that uh samuel l jackson as mace windu could be the antagonist for this series and that he survived the uh the fallout that window but decided that luke skywalker was too dangerous and couldn't exist so he wanted to kill the kid which would be just wild if mace just went wild and wanted to kill a child um count me in for that we gotta kill this motherfucking kid that was my samuel jackson it wasn't very good but i threw an f word in in. No, I loved it. I loved it. And another possible, I guess two possible things, both from the cartoon that I would love to see.

One, Obi-Wan in that fucking clone, like, Jedi armor, the little hybrid armor, whatever it is, where he's got, like, a clone trooper, I don't know, like, shoulder pads on and he's got the rest of his Jedi gear on. I just think that would be cool in a live-action setting. And two, I think it would be cool if we get some kind of, like, you know, wartime flashbacks where he's thinking back to the Clone Warriors, and he's got a shield in one hand and a lightsaber in the other, and there's debris flying everywhere, and there's droid parts flying everywhere, and it's like a slow-motion montage, and just for a split second in the background,

there's no dialogue or anything but we see Ahsoka Tano fighting alongside Anakin and Obi-Wan and they don't make a big deal out of it whatsoever. It's just like yep she was there with him but a live action Ahsoka like for you to actually acknowledge that and especially

for the fans that wanted this so bad the prequel lovers they're probably the fans that wanted this so bad the prequel lovers they're probably the ones that were watching the clone wars in the first place so that i think that would be an awesome shout out to them i uh i threw out sarah highland on twitter as as my casting because i feel like she's got those massive cartoonish eyes that that plays that definitely plays we we also have to remember like remember when we were talking about um what obi-wan was doing and we say he was probably just the creepy dude in the cave there's probably a lot of porn and coming we got really weird with obi-wan however i think it kind

of plays and i'm kind of worried like just keep it clean obi-wan don't be like i've already said like the prequels are already are. This new trilogy is kind of... Don't ruin the original trilogy by having Obi-Wan being this creepy dude that was just watching this kid and had a bunch of porn in his house. So clean it up. Clean it up. Also, also, another big question that I've gotten a lot on Twitter, DMs and tweets. Will we see Darth Maul in this series? Obi-Wan's big nemesis, Darth Maul.

It's a tough question to answer, but I don't believe we will. Because you know how seriously they treat Clone Wars and Rebels at this point and how much they respect Dave Filoni for all he's done for the franchise? I don't think they would retcon any of what he's done. I think they're keeping all of that canon,

especially being, you know, they had the chance to retcon that in 2012 and said, nope, we're sticking, you know, we're standing alongside this. But if they were able to not retcon anything, but just recreate the scene where Obi-Wan kills Darth Maul once and for good on Tatooine in Rebels. If they were able to do that live action, I think that would play. I think it would be awesome. It's a very old-school Japanese samurai type fight where Obi-Wan, they both ignite their lightsabers, and Obi-Wan kills him in one stroke. It's a one second fight. It takes two seconds, but it's very cool. It's very emotional. They have a good monologue back and forth before the fight, and Obi-Wan holds him as he dies. If they were able to do that, that would be great.

Also, it would be cool if by the time the series ended, Obi-Wan's starting to get a little white in his beard, starting to get a little white in his hair. That would be cool fan service, I think. I'm excited. I'm very excited to see Ewan back as Obi-Wan. Also, I follow his daughter on Instagram. She's around my age. She lives in New York City. I would love to catch up with her for a drink sometime, maybe marry her. Maybe marry her.

Drink, marriage, whatever. Whatever she can fit into her schedule. Pink Whitney, actually. Shout out Pink Whitney. They're out now. Pink Whitney. Yep, yep. This is my biggest biggest i don't know

if it's the fear or it's almost an ask i'm asking this like don't beat us over the head like they're gonna take stuff that comes in in the future and you know that comes in in the original trilogy like the whole thing when i didn't really love how it when at the end of what was it sith when yoda's like oh we learned how to like bring, bring, you know. Oh, I know. It's like, come on, guys. Like, there's just better things. I call that the checking boxes. I mean, it all started with midichlorians or whatever.

Completely. It started there and it only got worse. Well, even before midichlorians, it started when the first line of the fucking movie is Obi-Wan being like, I've got a bad feeling about this. Remember Star Wars, kids? God damn it. Clem is face palming through his head right now. I'm trying to keep it together. Me and Robbie have a relationship.

We're like a husband and wife and I'm like just trying to stay together like Star Wars was our kids that brought us together like somehow we both had kids and then like we fell in love because of the kids it's the weirdest little relationship but what's I am the kids have been nothing they've been like they hit me when I'm it's like Bam Margera they're just beating the shit out of me and the whole time they're listening to Marilyn Mans manson and i'm like i fucking like it too it's such a problem because i i'm slowly falling out of love with star wars i'm not falling out of love with you robbie i want to make that very clear thank god our like other son marvel he's awesome

you realize how bad the star wars kid is it's like and that's the thing. Like when Disney Plus comes out, there's a chance that Star Wars is just going to keep flubbing away everything and that the people in Marvel are going to keep being awesome. I mean, there's there's probably a chance there's going to be hits. There's going to be misses on both sides. But it kind of goes with Thrones. Like Marvel is so fucking good. And I honestly don't know if these movies are if this last movie is going to hit, if all series that are coming out the obi-wan will get into all the other ones i'm i'm nervous robbie and i just don't know what to make of it yeah they're gonna i i said and i i know you weren't happy about this but i said it out of all eight skywalker sagas movies how many would you rate a b or higher? A B is a tough grade. That's a 3.0 on the dot.

I know you said this, and my answer was five. I said out of the eight movies, I would rank five a B. What was it, a B plus or higher or whatever? Just B or higher. B or higher. I would rank them B or higher. I said the original trilogy, I'm giving you A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi,

and then I am taking the two new movies from the sequel trilogy, The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi. I would love to put Revenge of the Sith in there. I know there's a lot of huge Revenge of the Sith people that are listeners. I've got a ton of tweets about it. I love that movie. I just can't put a movie that has dialogue like, from my point of view, The Jedi are evil as a B or higher. Fundamentally, as a a movie it's pretty bad but i i love it so i would rank five of them higher by the way clem though think about this marvel we have this kid that we love who did we bring in to make this kid you know the the nanny

i guess that that made this kid who he is john favreau who is associated with the mandalorian we're bringing in the nanny again we're bringing in john favreau who is associated with the mandalorian we're bringing in the nanny again we're bringing in john favreau to teach this kid you know and and from your point of view from a certain point of view what uh what to do by the way as we were watching return of the jedi it never uh last night it never it never gets past me that whole certain point of view shit that obi-wan gives luke on dag, what bullshit, what a crock of shit. When he's like, well, I was telling the truth. I would start swinging at that Force ghost if I were Luke.

I would just see if I could make contact with it and smack it in the face. Because, like, come on, man. That's the thing that kind of makes me, like, maybe I'll ease off on Star Wars. Like, they were pulling bullshit on us back in the original trilogy. The movies were... That is sort of my big thing when people are like, they should have had much more of a concrete plan for the three movies.

Seven, eight, and nine. They should have been all the same director. I'm like, well, four, five, and six were all three different directors. They didn't know what they were doing when they were along the road. They made these movies incredibly close to how they made the original three like it's kind of like homage like in terms of how much they are similar to the old ones but um we can move we can move past the obi-wan news

on disney plus um the mandalorian the next thing we're talking about another disney plus show we got the first uh full- trailer. The first, I guess, HQ trailer, because we did see a bootleg one from Star Wars Celebration. But this one was a little bit different. It was awesome. We got to see a lot of... We got kind of the vibe of what The Mandalorian's going to be like. We got to see

the cinematography. We got to see the setting. We got to see all of that. You get a feel. You get an aura for the show. Very much feels like a western. It's done by the same director of photography and cinematographer that did Rogue One, which I think is a brilliant move. Keep bringing that guy back.

I don't have his name in front of me, I wish I did. But shout out to him because he's clearly someone that understands at the very least what Star Wars is supposed to look like because The Mandalorian looks like some sweet, sweet Star Wars. The trailer look like because the Mandalorian looks like some sweet, sweet Star Wars. The trailer caps off by the Mandalorian shooting someone with a grappling gun

and pulling them into a corridor while he shoots... I don't even know how I could describe this on a podcast, but he shoots like a data pad reader and closes the door and cuts this guy, basically cuts him in half. Just watch the fucking Mandalorian trailer. Listen, go on YouTube, type in the Mandalorian trailer,

scroll to the end of the trailer, you'll see what I'm talking about. It's awesome. Clem, where is your excitement for this show, The Mandalorian, speaking of Jon Favreau? So... And also Taika Waititi, our boy from Thor Ragnarok, who is not only directing a few episodes but voicing IG-11, the robot that looks a lot like IG-88.

Yep. I was very skeptical on this until you brought up the Favreau point. See, Robbie, I love you for many reasons, and your little optimism on everything is part of the reason we found out in the first place with these goddamn kids so um i'm kind of i'm excited i you may be more excited than i was going in i just first of all carl weathers always throws me off because sometimes i forget who lando was and then i think it was rocky and then he's in arrest development like carl weathers in arrest development is one of the greatest bit characters in the history of television. That makes – that hand bone can make a hell of a soup. Such good lines. This – like then – because then I –

Don't forget Gina Carano, an MMA legend. An MMA legend? Let me tell you what Gina Carano is, not only an MMA legend. She is a gif legend because that lip bite gif – The lip bite gif is all time. I had – like this is back in the day, like 10 plus years ago. I had that gif is all time. I had, like, this is, you know, back in the day, like, 10 plus years ago. I had that gif, like, on my computer. Like, at some point you would just save videos and stuff because you couldn't just go on, like, YouTube or the internet and go on Google.

And I had that as, like, my team, like, logo for stuff. So Gina Carano is a legend in my mind for sure. And also not a bad actor. She's in Deadpool, Deadpool 2. Is she in Deadpool 2? I don't even know if she is she might die in deadpool 1 she's she's very uh passable yes very very pat and like she's one of the people that how was she in mma like i know she was good in the beginning like did she just kind of fall off a cliff she she was very good for the time she was around kind of like another ronda rousey where uh the game hadn't quite evolved

by the time the game caught up to her it caught up pretty quickly um but her record she's nine and one all time you know she she got one loss to chris cyborg who at that time and you know for years to come for a decade to come was one of the best in the world if not the best in the world in female mma so she she very, very respectable career, especially for, you know, she did a lot for women's MMA and MMA in general in the beginning. So she's respected by everybody. Oh, so if Gina Carano lost and she was kind of like a shooting star,

you know, she lost a cyborg, I guess that means it's the end of MMA, right? It's such a huge market billion. You know nothing, you fucking idiot. Fuck you, Darren Revelle. Oh, God, that fucking war. Okay, so this is my problem with The Mandalorian. Boba Fett was like the coolest guy ever, right? Back in the day.

Definitely. Just the name, he did nothing. And this is the thing about Boba Fett. I did watch Return of the Jedi last night with Jared, and when you get to Boba Fett's death, he's not the coolest guy ever. That's the thing, is Boba Fett had like the cool name, he's the guy who finally lampoons han solo all this kind of shit you kind of like your eyes open up the bubba fett he kind of was a fucking let's be honest here and then this is

the problem when i see these suits now i think of the clone wars which was maybe the worst of all the trill of all the prequels right it's that or phantom menace and i feel like people have turned to the point where phantom menace was a bigger disappointment but clone wars was a worse movie attack of the clones attack of the clones okay i'm just correcting you i know what you're going for but people would go wild at you you know with the tweets and all that exactly um so that's the only thing is is i think of that movie when i see that suit now and like i I just have now John Favreau made fucking Iron Man. Cool. And Iron Man was the clunkiest,

lamest. That's right. I've ever seen in my life. So now Robbie, you've opened up my, my leg, my mind here. I'm willing to give it a chance,

but I'm going to be, I am not going to be the negative star Wars fan. I am just going to be the, the neutral. You got to find the balance in the force. Star Wars fan. I'm not going to be the the neutral you gotta find the balance in the force star wars fan i'm not gonna be the first one to jump onto everything you're gonna be the guy coming your pants i'm gonna be the guy with dry pants and like you know scratching my beard like hmm so that's the two sides you're gonna have for the next i mean this we have a lot of stuff coming up we have

a lot of stuff we have ads you have ads we got. We got ads. And speaking of, let's get into the second one of the podcast. Hey, you want to hear something terrifying? On average, it takes police 45 minutes to respond to a home security alarm. It's almost an hour. When a home security system is triggered, a lot of the time police assume that it's a false alarm, and the call goes to the bottom of the list. In my opinion, they probably shouldn't do that. But that doesn't happen with

SimpliSafe home security. SimpliSafe has video verification technology, which helps police get on the scene up to 3.5 times faster. SimpliSafe can visually confirm that a break-in is happening, giving police precise information about where an intruder is in a home and whether they're armed or not.

That's simplisafe.com slash mom today. simplisafe.com slash mom. And one more thing, the thing that excites me the most about the mandalorian

is that it's a week-to-week show so we're going to actually be able to break this down and talk about it like it's succession or like it's game of thrones or like it's any one of these shows and i think it's going to have like a pretty big appeal like i saw feidelberg tweeting about the mandalorian when the trailer dropped and i saw like some people at barstool talking about it that you wouldn't regularly expect i think everyone's going gonna get disney plus at launch and this is kind of disney plus's crown jewel at launch there this is you know the main thing that they're like here this is our new live action show so i'm excited to see if if this grabs non-star wars fans in just a way that people want to watch a cool action show every week no that, that's a fair point. You're spot on, too.

When random people who have nothing, don't seem to be fans of something, start tweeting or something, they're like, oh, there might be something here right now. Yeah, and Jon Favreau just doesn't swing and miss, Clem. He doesn't swing and miss. Talk about Iron Man, talk about Chef, talk about The Jungle Book, talk about Lion King,

talk about The Chef Show, talk about swingers. I mean, Jon Favreau doesn't swing and miss. So, and is this right i think you said this in a previous episode the mandalorian the way it'll go is the finale will happen right before episode nine comes out yeah i think the finale happens either a week or two weeks before uh the rise of skywalker so we will have you know i guess 10 11 12 something like that straight weeks of star wars talk, which just, what a beautiful world to live in.

I never would have thought this is the world that we live in. Hopefully, it's good Star Wars talk for you, Clem. For me, I feel like all Star Wars talk is good Star Wars talk. And finally, the last topic on this show that we have to get into, because I've been thrilled about this since I saw the trailer for it, and there's been even more good press to come out of it. Even last night, the Joker is getting rave reviews. It is getting what's better than rave reviews,

astronomically amazing reviews. It got an eight minute standing ovation at the Venice film festival last night. That's ridiculous. That's too much time to stand up and clap for anything. And I'll say this, take that with a grain of salt. Everyone to stand up and clap for anything and i'll say this take that with a grain of salt everyone was posting this and jeff d lowe he posted a blog about the standing ovation and mentioned that this happens pretty frequently at film festivals i love kevin smith everyone that listens to this podcast knows how much i love kevin smith clerks 2 is possibly

my favorite kevin smith movie i think that got a 9, 10, 11 minute standing ovation at like Cannes Film Festival. So take that for what you will. But all of the reviews are basically saying that this is going to win Oscars. It could get a Best Picture nomination. Joaquin Phoenix is definitely going to get a Best Actor nomination.

A lot of people are saying, you know, Heath Ledger's performance, you know, Heath Ledger's performance made the Joker as iconic as he is and this one defines the character. People are talking about it like it lives up to the Joker performances of past. We got a new trailer that finally

really made me buy into the hype because the entire time that I was hearing great things about this movie, I was like, alright, cool. Batman, as we've discussed, is my favorite character in any medium of anything ever. The Joker is my favorite Batman villain. The Dark Knight is my favorite movie of all time.

So I'm obviously a big fan of this character. But I was always like the Joker is kind of one of those people that I don't know if I need to know his backstory. I always said the Mark Bernard philosophy is he's a weather system he comes in he wreaks havoc he leaves you don't know why he did it you don't know where he came from you just know he's going to be back one day and do the exact same thing that's what i like about the joker um after seeing this trailer i was like all right fuck it i'm in that looks like the coolest

movie ever joaquinaquin Phoenix looks awesome. And the new Joker look with the blue on the face paint, and he's wearing a very Jack Napier, Jack Nicholson type suit. It's already, it already feels normal to me. When I see that face paint, I'm like, yeah, that's a new Joker

look. Like, it's interesting. It feels more normal than even like the Jared Leto Joker. I'm with you man uh now now okay i already i already used my sports reference but i'm just gonna try to when the knicks didn't get kevin durant i was like all right if the knicks don't get durant i'm officially that's the last time i'll believe in something and that was like the end of it that was the end of the age of innocence for me as a knicks fan i never believe we're gonna sign a big time free agent ever again after that.

And the last Jedi was the first time where I was like, I am no longer listening to 95% rock. Everyone stands. Everyone got their dick sucked by every audience member because it was the greatest thing ever. That was the moment that I said, none of this shit matters. You have to wait till it comes out. So I am still going. I'm like, I'm going in with that thought. However, I mean Joaquin Phoenix is like – there's only like five actors that are probably like acting right now that I'd be like, that guy could go in a weird-ass place and bring us a Joker we haven't seen before and we'll never see again. The only problem I have with this is like we got to stop making Jokers. It's like –

Yeah, it's muddy in the waters i agree with that and that was also my original hesitation towards this where i was like and it was also at a time where they were planning other solo movies for jared leto's joker and shit and i actually don't dislike jared leto's joker nearly as much as a lot of people do i don't love it i really don't like the look of it i i can't imagine the Joker walking into a tattoo parlor and requesting damage on his forehead. So that really irks me to this day. But I'm in on this one. I love that it's not a part of the whole DCEU.

I love that they're like, no, this is our own story. We just want to tell a cool Joker story. And a lot of people are saying it just so happens to be a comic book movie. It's one of those where it's just a movie and it's like, oh yeah, it's about a comic book character. Something cool that I think is there to ponder. What do you think the level of other Batman mythos that will be in this movie is? So I think Jeff D'Lo told me that the child in the trailer is confirmed Bruce Wayne. He said that's Bruce.

He's like, that's confirmed Bruce, which blew my mind. I was like, I didn't realize that. I heard rumors that Thomas Wayne is in the movie, and I said to Jeff, the second I heard that, I think maybe at the end of this movie, the Joker will be put in Arkham. Maybe he'll be crazy. They put him in Arkham. He said that Bruce is in the movie, which would be crazy if that

does happen to be true. That's pretty crazy that Batman is in the movie. My prediction is that we will not see the Joker kill Thomas and Martha Wayne, but we will just hear that they died at some point during the movie that they were shot outside

of a theater, outside of a theater outside of a movie theater you know something like that we'll see a newspaper headline we'll hear it on the radio something like that where it's like thomas and martha wayne shot dead at gunpoint you know they leave their fortune to alfred pennyworth and their one son bruce like i feel like if we heard that i would mark out i'd be like, fuck yeah, Batman is coming. He's on the way. I think it's going to be kind of like the – I don't know how to – it's like The Wire where – do you ever watch The Wire, Bob? Well, we can get into that because we put out the call for questions and Barstool RDT, good friend of ours, blogs the Orioles for Barstool, said, what is your favorite Wire episode and scene? I just started The Wire last week with trent finally i'm two episodes in so my favorite scene is the the first one where michael b jordan is on

the show because it blew my mind seeing him as a literal child and my favorite episode is the first one because i've only seen two fair enough fair enough my so basically without i will go into my because that will definitely spoil it for you. Pretty much I feel like it's going to – you're not going to be like – basically the wire does – it makes everything like – it's like life. It's shades of gray. A drug dealer is a drug dealer not because he's like, I want to ruin the community. He needs to do it to get money or just the way his life kind of broke.

I feel like we're going to – you're not going to sympathize and be like, oh, the Joker killed Brucene's parents because you know whatever but you're gonna like it's not gonna be so clear of the reason that he is the way he is and you're gonna feel kind of like you're gonna feel sorry for the joker that it got to the point that he kills the wings well i think here here's my here's my thing on that because i agree with you i think they're from the most recent trailer especially when you see that the joker has all these followers and shit i think the movie could definitely be leaning in those themes i sort of hope it doesn't though my thing with the joker is there should be no shadow of a doubt that this is a horrible dude he's a psychopath he's a murderer he's you know i mean this should

be a an absolute lunatic i don't want to feel bad for the j know, I mean, this should be an absolute lunatic. I don't want to feel bad for the Joker. I don't want this to be an underdog story. I don't want to root for him. I don't want to be like, oh, I get it. He got made fun of by fucking De Niro on Carson Daily or whatever. So he's gone. Johnny Carson, whatever.

I would be okay with them doing the whole like uh maybe exploitation on like how we treat mental health in this country if they go for something crazy like that i'm in cool and there were a lot of reports coming out that this was going to be a very like modern 2018 2019 movie um so i'd be cool with that i don't want to sympathize with the joker though see that's the thing, though. I feel like when you get into the backstory, I feel like you almost, I don't, like, I hope they can.

I hope I'm 100% wrong. It's just, I don't know how much you can just be like, this guy's a straight-up madman to the point where then you're, like, following him. I don't know if you're even supposed to sympathize with him, but you know what? The fact is, I'm excited. You're excited.

I sort of hope. Have you seen Nightcrawler? No. I think we've talked about it before, because we talked about it with Jill and Hall know what the fact is i'm excited you're excited i sort of hope have you seen nightcrawler uh no i think we've i think we've talked about it before because i we talked about it with uh jill and holland in far from home but nightcrawler i think is a very good like character study movie on an absolute deranged psychopath and if they use the same kind of creepy tones that that movie used i think it could really work in terms of like, it keeps you captivated the whole time, but you don't have to root for that

person. That's all the topics we brought to the table. We got a few questions, so I'm just going to read them off this tweet. It's kind of disorganized. The first one comes from The Large, and I don't know where this came from, but he said, what are Wonder Woman's bracelets made out of?

I'm telling you. I read this tweet over like three times being like, how can this be some kind of large sex joke? But I don't think it is. I think he's genuinely curious. And I think Wonder Woman's bracelets are made of Amazonian. It's like Amazonium or something. I don't know. Is that like – Is that's real question why

does he want to know that is he gonna listen well i'm telling you large like he's not gonna listen i'm saying he was had a punch line lined up like large you can't give us the question without oh do you think that's what it was he said water wonder woman's bracelets made out of and i was supposed to say oh i don't know what and then he oh large underrated nerd too like die hard i know i told large we got to get him on because we're gonna do we're gonna try to recap like all of the star wars movies before uh rise of skywalker and i said you know large you tell me pick any one of the movies you could be on for any movie you want to be on because he loves the star wars movies and not only that he loves wonder woman too because i went to arturo's with him his little italian joint he loves going to wonder woman he

has he gets the remote that's the kind of like oh yeah like the fucking he's like sunny from bronx tale basically they give him the remote and he turned on wonder woman and then at one part it was like the you know the um what's it called the bunker scene oh no man's land he turned the volume on and he just and he's like, oh, this scene's the best. Bro, that scene is unreal. No, but I'm with him. That scene is incredible. That scene is one of my favorite scenes

of any of the modern superhero movies. I'm going to give you my answer. Are you ready for this one? This one's going to blow your fucking mind. We're going to find out what her bracelets are made of. We're going to find out in less than 10 years and it's gonna be vibranium because marvel is just like wcw and that will be like the vibranium will be the thing one of the things that links them all together bro could you imagine kevin feige doing that? Like the name on the contract says whatever,

but it says Kevin Feige. Can you imagine a Superman movie done right? Oh my God. Oh my God. It'd be fucking electric. Imagine like Superman saving the plane from Superman returns, but actually he gets to throw a punch. Cameron Ramos,

who I think is a regular listener. He writes in all the time, so thank you for doing that. Said, favorite obscure Star Wars character? Maybe someone in the background of a scene. I've answered this before. My favorite Star Wars obscure character comes from The Force Awakens. He is an X-Wing pilot in the Resistance, and his name is Ello Atzi. It was a character created by

J.J. Abrams as an homage to the Beastie Boys and his Beastie Boys fandom. Ello Atzi obviously sounds a lot like Hello Nasty. That's my favorite. I just love that. It's like a little nod to rock and roll, a little nod to music, a little nod

to hip-hop, especially New York hip-hop. Aside from that, I would say I actually don't know the name, and this is really bad on me as a Star Wars character, but the character that George Lucas plays in Revenge of the Sith, he's seen as a blue alien for like two seconds. Oh, yeah, that's right. I forgot about that. Let me see. George Lucas, Revenge of the Sith cameo. Okay, I found it. His name is Chairman Papanoida. He's the character that George Lucas plays in Revenge of the Sith. He's a blue alien, and he's a statesman and playwright who wrote plays about, I'm sure, the wars.

I remember my guy. I remember my guy. Who's your guy? Lando's boy with the fucking headset. Oh, Nyanub. No, Lobot. When Lobot's in there, his eyes are closed and then he wakes up. I'm like, yeah, we're doing this, Lobot.

I was so mad Lobot didn't get in solo. Just like sitting in there. Damn, yo, Clem. It would be sick if we got you one of those headset things. You could definitely get one on Etsy, right? They got to make one that's just like headphones. You could just wear it on the podcast. Oh, my goodness. That would be frigging awesome.

Also, if we wanted to do it, someone wrote in and said, like, if you guys went to a Comic-Con again, what would you dress up as? If you were Lobot and I was just the nerdiest, whitest Lando in existence, put on a little penciled mustache, all that, that would be fucking funny. You actually had an idea for um because we were thinking about doing one of the comic cons which by the way i mean new york comic-con is coming up in a month and they are nice to us so if we're thinking about dressing up at comic-con new york comic-con a lot nicer than san diego all right so i won't give away because you had an idea for the last one that we ended up obviously not doing for the last Star Wars thing. That would actually be sick if we could do it this year.

So yeah, don't say it. Maybe we'll apply for some creds for New York Comic Con. By maybe, I mean I'll get on that immediately. Tom Tatro wrote in, and I love this question. I said, you could ask us anything. I said, I don't care what it's about. Love this question because I love any time I get the opportunity to answer it. He said, Coke or Pepsi? My answer is a clear-cut pepsi i fucking love me a nice blue can of pepsi clem what about you are you you're a coke guy right uh i'm a coke guy what a loser

santa coke is i mean ronnie i mean santa coke is i mean santa coke is pretty good santa coke is the greatest in the history of the world. But if I'm going to the movies, I will say, if I'm going to the movies, Cherry Coke over everything. Yes. Yep. A billion percent. But Cherry Coke, large popcorn, we're all good. Yep.

I will say this, though. Like, I do get in the mood for Pepsi. I do get in the – like, it's like everything else. Like, sometimes I want McDonald's. Sometimes I want Burger King. Sometimes I want Wendy's. Like, sometimes I do want a Pepsi. It's not like I am just straight Coke.

If someone says, sorry, we don't have Coke. We have Pepsi or vice versa. I don't stick my nose up and go, oh, I am not having that. However, I know KFC in particular rides you hard for your Pepsi. Yeah, he does. He calls it all the KFC, you know. Screw that guy. Screw that guy.

Screw that guy. Um, also I have to mention now that, now that you brought up McDonald's, just real quickly, I had my first ever McDonald's breakfast burrito today. Have you ever had a McDonald's breakfast burrito? I never have. Got to tell you, Clem, pretty good stuff. I was a little intoxicated, obviously, from the Arsenal game. It was the North London Derby today.

It wound up being a draw. It just makes the Derby in April that much bigger when you get a draw like this. But I was a little intoxicated. Went to McDonald's afterwards. That's my tradition after the football games. And got a breakfast burrito. Absolutely delicious. And then we got a question here.

This one's very interesting. It's one of these two will protect you and the other ten will try to kill you. Oh, this is a doozy. Pick your two. Troy to go. Send it in. Troy, thank you for sending this one in. I'm just going to read you the 12 names and you will be able to tell me your two.

I looked at it and I'll tell you what. I made my decision very quickly. It did not take me much time. Same here. Thor, Wonder Woman, Ghost Rider, I don't know how the fuck Ghost Rider got in the mix on this one, The Flash,

Superman, Spider-Man, The Hulk, Iron Man, Deadpool, Batman, Doctor Strange, and Wolverine. So I took a quick look at this, and I said, I love Marvel. You know how much I love Marvel.

More than almost anything. But almost is the key word in that sentence. I'm taking Batman and Superman. I don't think you can beat those two. I honestly, in a one-on-one, I thought about it. I don't know if I would pick any fictional character, ever, in a one-on-one against Batman.

Jesus, Robert! What is wrong with you so who would you take batman or lou skywalker you know i thought about it and honestly dude without the rest of the gang i just i think with enough prep time bat Batman might honestly think of, like, Batman might have a gadget to disable the Force, bro. He might have, like, a dome that he could put the fight in where Luke can't use the Force or some shit. I mean, look, Batman has come toe-to-toe with Superman, and he's fought him under, like, the correct sun conditions if he has to.

Robbie, do you see that guy, that big green guy in the middle of this list? The Hulk? No, you're not taking the Hulk, are you? I'm not. I'm saying the Hulk is stronger than Bane, who broke Batman's back and paralyzed him. Oh, come on. But that was in the dark. I actually agree with you.

Superman is one of my picks because that's one of the right answers. Batman is the wrongest answer maybe on the list. I think I might be right. Oh, come on. Oh, no i might come on oh no you take that back you take that back take that back you would not rather have ghost rider that's bullshit through some troubles because of star wars that is bullshit clem okay i take it back i take it back um my my guy's thor give me the guy because i think of infinity war thor i fuck true so it's two will protect you.

The other ten will try to kill you. You got to go with someone that's a god. I mean you're taking like basically two gods. Strongest character. I'm sorry, what? I said you're basically taking two gods. Yeah, exactly. So it's like give me two gods and then I'll worry about the ten mortal – the other eight or ten mortals to try to kill me.

Like that's basically what I'll go with, let alone the guy with rich guy with some toys dude i'll be honest i actually thought about doing uh batman and wonder woman on the basis that i thought maybe batman and superman would start to bicker too much but i was like i don't want you know there's been certain comics and certain cartoons where diana and bruce get a little close i'm like the last thing i would want is to be like holy shit batman and wonder woman are protecting me and then it's like oh geez they're fucking like i gotta worry about them fucking so i was like all right all right i'm just gonna take the bickering i'll put up with it i'm taking batman at superman i got a good caveat here now ready okay this is this this will change i think all your answers the all these answers it's the it's

the version that is like so it's all the answers it's the it's the version that is like so it's all the latest dc version it's the latest movie version of superman the latest movie version of batman and all this so now superman just doesn't punch like we already talked about this wait wait wait wait you're saying no no you're saying it would be like henry cavill henry cavill punches henry cavill actually is on the other end of the Superman spectrum where sometimes he goes too far and snaps motherfuckers' necks in the cold blood streets.

I mean, he also destroyed Metropolis in his first fight ever. Literally the entire city, gone. We're talking 9-11 times a thousand. They Khaleesi'd that shit, basically. So, yeah, in that case, I don't know if I'm taking Superman because I'm like, he's going to maybe, yeah, sure, he'll probably kill the rest of them, but he'll kill me in the process.

Yeah. Okay. All right. Hold on. Let me look back at this thing. If I'm taking the most recent movie versions of everyone, I'm not taking Batfleck, and I'm not taking Henry Cavill. And no

Infinity Stone for Strange, because I think that throws it off, too. He can't have time. So we got Thor, obviously, Chris Hemsworth, Ragnarok Thor. We got Gal Gadot, Wonder Woman. We have Ghost Rider who like,

the Ghost Rider image they use here, I don't even know, Boss Logic probably created it on Photoshop. I'm also giving you large with Wonder Woman. It's a two for one deal. Oh, nice. So I'll get large, so it'd be Wonder Woman large.

Yeah, so, all right. First pick, large and Wonder Woman. And then, and then just listen, in solidarity, know this is not a not a shot at tony stark for not picking him here but in solidarity for my boy peter parker i'm taking him it's going to be uh it's going to be wonder woman large and peter parker we also know how well peter parker works with amazonian like women whatever, with Pegasus, Valkyrie, whatever. That's a fair point. This is not a shot of Captain America, but he didn't even make the list. So we'll just leave it at that.

You know what? That felt like a shot of Captain America, but even more so by the person that made the list, not you. I don't know how Ghost Rider made that list. Like, Ghost Rider finagled himself onto that list. I used to do this little thing in high school where I would sneak into – they would take like yearbook photos in our commons before homeroom every day for big clubs and groups. And I would always just sneak into the pictures and the yearbook team would always have to Photoshop me out when they were like labeling all the people. And I just thought it was hysterical. I think in my senior year yearbook, I actually might be in the Spanish Honor Society club's picture, which I obviously was not in.

That's a dangerous game. Like there's a few people in high school or in school you don't fuck with. The yearbook committee, they'll misspell your name in the yearbook. You won't get your yearbook. They'll fuck it up. Well, I sort of agree with that. But like my best friend was like the person that was in charge of photoshopping me out and she was just like she would just be like are you fucking kidding me dude and i'd be like

ah i got you again i think that's what ghost rider did to get into this list that makes sense because i was actually playing ultimate alliance 3 and ghost rider like comes into the picture you can choose him and i was like this guy's still in the 90s. Like, how the hell and my, and then my daughter, like Sienna, she's like, oh, let's pick this. She always wants to choose the news guys

and add them to the team. And she's like, we gotta choose that guy. And I'm like, and they're like, I'm fighting basically like one hand behind my back

because I have Ghost Riders and lame ass just getting his dick kicked in by all the bad guys. So fuck, you know what? That's the fucking lesson. Dude, I can't believe

they got a second Ghost Rider movie, by the way. They made a Ghost Rider movie. I saw it. I actually, you know what that's the fucking lesson dude i can't believe they got a second ghost rider movie by the way they made a ghost rider movie i saw it i actually oh i think i probably still own it somehow um because i owned it on psp remember when you could buy like dvds on psp that was a thing um i owned it on psp and then they made a fucking second ghost rider movie i cannot believe they got two two of those out of Nicolas Cage. Absolutely unbelievable. I'm dating myself by even bringing this up and I guarantee

90% of the viewers or listeners won't even know what this is. Ghost Rider W-R-I-T-E-R was a better show than Ghost Rider R-I-D-E-R. Oh, Hasselhoff? Was Hasselhoff in Ghost Rider? Are you thinking of Knight Rider? No, are you thinking of Knight Rider?

No, no, no, no, no. Ghost Rider was this weird-ass show that was on, like, it might have been on PBS for all I know. Oh, I thought you were talking about Knight Rider with Hasselhoff. Wait, that's Hasselhoff, though, right? Yeah, Knight Rider. He's got a car that he talks to? How have they not rebooted that, by the way?

That seems like an obvious reboot. I think I might take Knight Rider on my list of two and then keep the other ten. I mean take night rider over ghost rider exactly a million times and i don't want to fucking imagine getting on the back of ghost rider's motorcycle and getting the smoke in your eyes from his fucking smoky ass head come on i'd way rather get in the passenger seat of like a super high-tech batmobile basically How many like houses do you think he's burned? Oh, like just like melted the paint off your walls.

Like God damn it. Ghost rider. Again, the smoke alarms going off. I fucking hate ghost rider. Just kill, kill ghost rider. And that,

that, that, that fucker probably uses it as an excuse not to go down on women. Oh, definitely. He's not, he's like, well,

you know, if it gets a little steamy, I could burn you. It's like, uh, it's like fuck off ghost rider little steamy, I could burn you. It's like, fuck off, Ghost Rider. You could probably go down on a girl if you wanted to. Hashtag fuck Ghost Rider. That's tonight's hashtag. Hashtag fuck Ghost Rider.
