Hey My Mom's Basement listeners, you can find our episodes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube, and Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. Hello and welcome to My Mom's Basement, presented by 3C and Barstool Sports. I am your host, Robbie Fox. With me is my co-host, Clem. And today, we're going to be doing a mailbag edition of the show. There's not any shows to talk about, there's not any movies that just came out there's not any marvel special presentations that just came out for a week we're officially dry i have to say you're like oh shoot we have to do an episode this week and i was like oh my god this is i feel like the first time we haven't had like original content to recap in months upon months upon months because even when we didn't just do the weekly stuff through star wars through marvel we also had house of the dragon we had um stranger thing was stranger things that was this year right yeah that was the summer it wasn't yeah we had double we were

double dipping on stuff uh there was a triple dipping at times we were doing she hulk and door and house of the dragon all at once triple dipping we were we were triple dippers i mean the double dippers they get they get enough grief or whatever in the world triple dippers that's both sides of the chip have been eaten and now you're just basically scooping your whole mouth in there oh and you know what it's a good transition because i wanted to talk about this right up front i'm triple dipping this weekend i've got rough and rowdy tomorrow in Providence, Rhode Island. We're immediately going to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for Army Navy the next day, which is Saturday morning, afternoon. They're going to be doing a college football show. I'm going there because a private jet will be leaving from there to Las Vegas to get to Patty the Batty's fight.

So I will be doing, in the span of about 24 hours, Rough and Rowdy, Army, Navy, and UFC 282, which is going to be a whirlwind. Triple Dippin' Robbie. Holy shit. Godspeed, sir. BuyR&R.com. BuyR&R, BuyR&R, BuyR&R.com. It's actually going to be a great pay-per-view.

We got Pac-Man Jones in the main event against Bobby Lang. Rematch going to be an awesome fight. Grace is fighting from Barstool. So if you know her, she's actually fighting. We've got influencers fighting. We've got great fights on the card. Me, Roan, Caleb, Dave, Dan. Large is going to be there.

Jersey, Jerry, Frank the Tank. Good crew. I mean, it's Providence. Providence is a real X factor of a place. I have a buddy who went to Providence, shot him a Voyages, and I went there for a bachelor party. And it's an interesting scene

with a bunch of interesting characters. So you put that all together with a rough and rowdy backyard brawl kind of thing going, it's going to be some fun. And John Rich wrote a really funny blog. He says he wants to see somebody just do the thing where they basically do rope-a-tope for the first two rounds of rough and rowdy,

and then the third round have full energy or as much as you did from the punch you didn't take. And I'm like, man, if we see that, this rough and rowdy. Because the other person is going to be gassed. You're gassed no matter what, basically, by the third round. So check it out, buyrnr.com. There's the ad right off the top. I don't think it's even on the list, but we gave it to you.

So let's talk about a couple of things before we get into our mailbag questions. I put out the call on Twitter. I have a couple written down, but there's a couple of news topics that are worth talking about. One being right off the bat, I went to war with James Cameron and his fans this week. I decided, and you heard me talk about it on the last episode i said i'm in the process of writing a blog called james cameron needs to shut the fuck up and i wrote that blog i put it out and clement enraged film twitter like it actually got picked up by so many different people i respect that quote tweeted it being like how about you shut the fuck up then i was like oh man but never did i regret a single word of that uh i

stand by everything i said james cameron i'm not an avatar hater i i've said on the podcast i think avatar is a good movie i haven't seen it in so long um but when it came out i remember liking it i think the new one's gonna be good i think i'm really gonna like the new one he just needed to let that movie speak for itself him coming out every other day with a stupid fucking quote saying i make my cast say a wuga make a submarine noise and talk to me him saying the marvel movies no heart the marvel movies this that the next thing he came out today against marvel cgi which that is the one battle i won't pick against james cameron his cgi is going to be the best i get that but just shut the fuck up that was my overall point people were pissed

off about it i went back to back to war with them i was going back and forth and then, uh, avatar two reviews came out the next day. It they're getting rave reviews. I mean, the best reviews a movie could possibly get pretty much. It's, it's a tough look. And I saw you, you know, you were going back and forth with the people on Twitter.

It gave me a little bit of a, and anyone obviously go back and Robbie's feet. I'm sure you can see some quote tweets. Just go to the, uh, the blog, uh, the, the tweet for the blog. You can probably see in the replies i'm sure it's just a bloody mess it kind of gave me like vibes of the old good old days you know the or like the

earlier barstool the early octagon bob days where you would just go at people you're going at people in the company you're going to people you didn't even know who they were consiles versus captain cons there was it was just mayhem you're going at people with like't even know who they were. Con Siles versus Captain Con. It was just mayhem. You're going at people with like, this is a nerd niche thing you're going at too. So I personally love seeing it. I also saw those reviews and I also was like, I can't wait to kind of see the movie if it's this fucking good. And there's also a chance these guys are looking at or watching this movie with the same rose-colored glasses of you watching star wars where i'm gonna go and as like a neutral observer

and be like it was all right it was cool looking but i'm kind of i actually looked up like when it comes out and it comes out the 16th and i'm like yeah yeah like i'm like this is a movie me and sienna are gonna go to i don't think she's ever seen like a 3d movie before her mind is going to explode that's a movie to do it i don't like 3d but if you're gonna do it for any movie it's the avatar and another interesting thing though i've seen a lot of reviews say you have to like remember the first one to see this and that's going to be an issue for a lot of people because i don't think a lot of people are re-watching the first one before they go to see it it's a big time commitment as it is the the new one's three hours ten minutes oh i think it's three hours yeah oh man just saw

clem's heartbreak on camera you didn't realize that uh i think i'm out i think that's all it took i i told you how excited i was it was gonna be a big experience bonding thing a family thing three hours and ten you lost me there because you know what i got ripped that ticket up and right in front of cn we're not going because this is what i have to do i know i'm gonna have to take at least one bathroom break if not two because i'm an old man i then have to bring my i can't leave my daughter in the movie theater alone so you she then has to like with avatar fans those yeah those fucking weirdos they're gonna probably paint it in blue and shit i have to either take her to the men's room or she's like staying right outside the bedroom and i'm kind of like poking my head out as i'm trying to piss

this is a disaster cameron what are we doing right now oh god this week did prove to me that there are avatar stands they're out there they're out there and like it's like they're probably like 30 of them and they are loud and it feels like there's a million of them but they're not they're just the loudest ones chirping at you the worst is though is when like you said you have someone that you like respect follow whatever it may be and then they hit you with the chirp the quote retweet even if they don't even know it's you they're just the barstool council one getting you're just like oh fuck like please don't click it and look to see robbie fox as the you know the author of this because that always makes you feel like shit it's not good bob it's not good at all. But I respect you fighting the fight, and this has to be known.

In the words of another great movie franchise, this aggression will not stand. This is some Lebowski shit. We have to take a stand. If Cameron wants to run his mouth to get his movie tickets up and to put this as the next highest grossing movie ever so they can actually make their money back, he's going to face the fucking nerd Avengers,

and we're going to come at him for the MCU. I got fucking Kang coming. He's going to come for your ass, Cameron. Listen, we talked about it last time. We love James Cameron. A lot of his movies on this pod. We talked Terminator 2. We're talking true lies. Aliens. I'm not a Titanic guy personally.

I hate it. I never watched it because everyone I think I've talked about this in the past. When I was in school, that's how old I am, Titanic came out and people were like, oh, I saw it seven times. Oh, I saw it eight times never watched it because everyone, I think I've talked about this in the past. When I was in school, that's how old I am, Titanic came out. And people were like, oh, I saw it seven times. Oh, I saw it eight times. And I'm like, what the fuck? It's a movie. What are you guys talking about?

And I was like, I'm never watching this movie on principle alone. So, James, you make some good-ass movies. But just like, there's nothing you said wrong. Just shut the fuck up. Just shut the fuck up. Just shut the fuck up. All right. So big news in the DC world now.

DC kind of fell apart last night. At the buzzer. It was like we have Man of Steel 2 being whispered about after Black Adam, after that post-credits scene. We have a Hawkman spinoff in the works. I saw reports about that, which I was like, oh, cool. He was one of the best parts of Black Adam. So I don't know if that was meant for a show, a little HBO special, if it was a full-on movie.

And that's our guy, by the way. I don't know if we talked, did we talk about it on this podcast about how he was the kid from Die Hard with a Vengeance? Yeah. So that's our guy right there. That's our guy. If anyone's going to listen there that's our guy in that podcast so we're in on that right but then i'll decide a couple other news items start

trinkling out wonder woman 3 scrapped man of steel 2 on ice we don't know if that's happening anymore aquaman likely done after this aquaman sequel and jasonoa. Is likely to be recast. In the DC universe. As Lobo. Which if you look up pictures of Lobo. This is the most perfect casting. There's ever been in human history. It looks like the character.

Is based off Jason Momoa basically. And I think he's said forever. That this is like one of his dreams to play Lobo. He is a smaller character, but you know what James Gunn did with Peacemaker after what he did with Peacemaker? I don't doubt that he could make an awesome Lobo show or movie with Jason Momoa. It kind of seems from this news, like James Gunn is pretty much hitting the reset button. And I okay with that i'm okay with him saying everything's been a mess and we need to hit that button and just start over wipe the slate clean uh he did

put out a couple tweets where he kind of confirmed a lot of this he didn't say it's all true he said a lot of it's true some of it's half true some of it we're deciding if it's true. But it read to me like, we're doing a reset, and a lot of your favorites might be lost in this. But I promise, for the 10-year plan, it's for the best. I am going to choose my words carefully, because I do know how passionate some DC fans are. And the release of Snyder Cut is one of the crazier movements I've ever seen in my life take place.

But I didn't want to complain about this. In the words of Robbie Fox to all the Cameron fans and James Cameron fans, shut the fuck up. Let James Gunn do what he does. And if he's smashing that reset button, let him fucking smash it twice, three times till his hand is bleeding and black and blue. Because this guy makes fucking kids go rewatch peacemaker. Then come back to me and say like,

you're like, Oh my God, he took a character no one cared about. And he made it like one of the best shows of the entire year. That's what this guy does. I got our hashtag for the episode, Bob. What's that?

Hashtag live by the gun. Two ends at the end. Hashtag live by the gun. That's good. Right. That sounds really good. I like that. So your little release, the Snyderverse or Snyder cut,

all these little fancy hashtags, we got hashtag live by the gun. And that thing, we'll get a bunch of fucking crazy people who are about the Second Amendment on our side too. They don't even notice that we put the second end in there. You don't want to fuck with us right now. We have some crazies on our side. Listen, those people, and I know that there's people who are like diehard DC fans who are like dire people

dire dc fans who have like seven different universes that are all existing right now in their brain because of the way all those cinematic uh who knows what happens after the flash too like that seems to be a multiverse movie yeah like they're like oh we just lost the fly like they had basically had a better like and the flash just uh he he left the universe because the guy who plays him is a fucking legitimate uh supervillain himself james gunn just like hit that reset button start fresh he's going to make it all all right however i also have to admit this as somebody that has never really gotten into those dc movies i watched black adam because the rock's been promoting it for a thousand years at this point. And I did it for the pod here. And then I guess we watched Suicide Squad and we obviously saw Peacemaker. He's doing this for like people like me who are

Marvel fans that are like, oh, I'll give DC a shot. But I was kind of going in like, man, there's a lot of shit I'm going to have to catch up on. Now I don't have to do anything. James Gunn is like, nope, the slate is wiped clean. The big whiteboard is blank right now. We're starting from the ground level up. I know Superman's awesome. I know Batman's awesome. I know the Justice League.

I know Wonder Woman. By the way, did you see all those tweets? It was like Wonder Woman 3 dead. And I was like, whoa, did they murder her? What are they talking about here? Also, I'm kind of thinking about this now, though. What does that mean for Peacemaker? Because he meets the Justice League end of season one spoilers oh we didn't see that

but great call that was just yeah is he just gonna get like are they just gonna take like maybe a couple things and just suck them into a new universe or something because at this point you don't want to start peacemaker back at zero so but i mean it's not like he's gonna we're gonna have to go through the batman or the superman origin story again the batman origin story i mean uh can't do either origin uncle ben has died a lot of times the ways are getting up there in terms of deaths you need to do uh the batman what they did like the fact that they were like it's year two we're skipping over the entire like he he's still

learning how to be batman it's not quite prime batman yet but they're like we're not showing you his fucking parents getting shot again okay now let me ask this to you is there anyone in the world that you would trust to get this thing off the ground more than james gunn not including kevin feige i was gonna say kevin Feige is the only one. But no. Because I feel like James Gunn. Like the Russo brothers. But I don't know. I feel like James Gunn is the guy.

Because he's not just a good filmmaker. He's a nerd about this shit. He knows the Peacemaker characters. And he can turn them into much bigger characters. And I don't know if this is the case behind the scenes, and Jeff D. Lill could probably tell you about this, but just someone that's dealt with corporate shit in the past, I'm sure if you have all these existing projects

and then you do have some lingering projects from the old universe, and then you're dealing with, is this an HBO Max project? Is that a Discovery Plus? There's probably all these things if you just cut it clean and just kill the half measures and just we're going full measure and everything is clean it just it takes care of all those other headaches because i'm telling you right now the fucking at some point the suits are going to try to give them notes the guys with the budgets and all this kind of stuff and those are the guys that always fuck stuff up it's always the creative

people they hear the every time something's good it's like yeah they just let us cook i mean that's what dave says a parcel of time he's like i just let the content people do the content stuff and i think that's the reason why so much of this stuff has grown the way it has so i'm hoping that by cutting it off it stops all that nonsense and then because i feel like the back end stuff that we don't see the meetings james gunn has to, those are going to be the meetings that are going to fuck stuff up more than like, other than the flash is a legitimate supervillain. He's getting arrested every week. So I think everything else. Yeah.

He has the power to bring everything down. We might not even get Batman movies anymore because this guy's such a fuck up. I do think Matt Reeves is safe across the board though. That was my next question here. Cause I mean, that feels like when you do the Batman movies and the Batman hits as well as it did in terms of the reception of it all. And you have all these other projects, which, again, I don't know what are going to survive. I feel like it's like if you already had something approved, James Gunn will just be like, yes, that can stay alive. It's not like everything dies and then he has to, you know, you have to start from scratch. I just think it's like

don't get your hopes up. Don't pre-order your tickets to anything right now. And as for the Momoa thing, it's like that guy I feel like his whole life he was like trying to turn and build himself into Lobo. He's nobody who's ever been more Lobo than him. In fact, I want him just to go by Lobo for now.

He has a sweet ass name too. I think his name... You to go by Lobo for now. He has a sweet-ass name, too. I think his name... You can go by Momo. I like that. Look at this. We're making the DC universe a little better ourselves by spitballing on the fly there. Let me say this.

If James Gunn wants to bring a new Batman into his DC universe, I think the way to differentiate it between Patrick Pattinson's Batman and his Batman is you have this Batman, have the Bat family. Give him Robin. Give him Batgirl. Rest in peace to the Batgirl movie. I still want to see that. Release that on YouTube for free.

Give him more sidekicks and more of that. I think that's the way to do it because they've never done it on screen. Do Dick Grayson in the first movie, have him become Nightwing, and then you could have another Robin. I love that stuff. Clem just left. What happened there? What happened there, buddy?

I was clicking on something to look up something for DC, and it was like, click, wrong button. I just clicked right there. I was like, what the fuck? This guy just left on me. Maybe he's not into my Bat family idea. Okay, give me the Bat family. I apologize.

No, that was it. It was just, that's how you kind of make the Batman different. If we're going gonna have fucking multiple batman movies going all at once give us robin and nightwing and batgirl and all that in one and then in the other one in the matt reeves ones they're probably the the solo loner i listen to fucking nirvana batman so that was gonna be like my biggest uh point on this it's cool we got keaton back having super cool having two batmans was very dc weird shit though as as a casual three but well then we get the three and that's his affleck is also in the in the flash well that's we're this stuff is all

dead to me now is what i'm saying I think you're keeping Pattinson At I think Pattinson just becomes Batman And if you're gonna do A Keaton I guess you can No more than two And even two is pushing it For this guy's humble opinion It's very cool we have it

Maybe it's just one of those things that wasn't meant to be You know Or maybe you say we're not doing two Batman We we're blowing up the old dc universe rest in peace to michael keaton's batman and not michael keaton though he's still alive wait oh i was gonna say if we're killing keaton that is a very that's gonna break some laws bob no no not not no no we're keeping him alive do you want to kill keaton your brother's gonna hear this he's gonna throw up everywhere that's his guy well i guess bob is his guy but keaton's like number two on the list but maybe you do batman beyond maybe you say fuck it we're finally cashing

in on batman beyond which also features bruce wayne but as an old guy so you could bring keaton in as an old bruce wayne even if he's not bat not Batman. Yes. I have no problem if you're doing a future Batman movie, as long as it kind of lines up with the Pattinson movie, like you're just changing the timeline and stuff like that. I have no problem with that. I think it's like these guys are in the same universe. It's just a lot to take in. And again, James Gunn can do weird shit and still make it land.

I do think that is definitely a possibility here as well. Let's tell the people about one of our favorite advertisers, HelloFresh. Tis the season for saving money wherever we can. Amen. HelloFresh is cheaper than grocery shopping and 25% less expensive

Clem loves this stuff. The official meal of my mom's basement, the unofficial official meal, is the cheesy chicken. We love this cheesy chicken meal.

It's superb. It's superb. And I believe this was, I don't even know, probably two years ago. This was an actual gift that I got my father-in-law, who's a diehard chef. He loves cooking. He got everything just delivered to the house. Her parents are all getting a little older. They don't want him going out.

All right. Now I want to talk about some photos from the Acolyte set that have come out. Have you seen these, Clem? I have not seen them, Bob. So go on Twitter. Just look up hashtag the Acolyte, which is this new Star Wars show that's currently filming now.

First look at Lee Jung Jae. I believe I'm saying that right. That is the star of Squid Games. And Daphne Keene, who plays the little girl in logan she is in some crazy like makeup dreads set up um lee is in a jedi setup we see a wookiee jedi and this is set in the final days of the high republic so this might be burriaga or arcoff from those books we see some alien species we see a jedi padawan i think this looks really cool and if you're not aware of what the acolyte is um it's a mystery thriller created and written by leslie headland that will take viewers into a galaxy of shadowy

secrets and emerging dark side powers in the final days of the high republic era a former padawan reunites with her jedi master to investigate a series of crimes but the forces they confront are more sinister than they've ever anticipated sounds really cool to me yeah everyone's gonna and you know this is all gonna get uh measured against andor it's like oh it's different but it's a star wars movie just like star wars property just like and or it's like i think this is going to be a little more space wizard z um the guy from squid game which good call that would have driven me nuts if i couldn't figure out where he was from he kind of looks like he's naked in this first picture that i looked up here i'm gonna let me see i can present here i'll share the screen for the

people watching on youtube i mean what are we doing right now, squid guy? Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's kind of like just a tan robe that could blend in with, you know, skin color. It looks like he's showing the squid right there. It's a little scary. So our boy, Matt Fitzgerald, shout out, Matty Fitz, he blogged about the Acolyte. And he had raved thoughts about what it's going to entail and all that kind of stuff and i'm at the point where i

follow all your guys leads with the stuff i don't know about so if you're excited about it he's excited about it pretty sure ken jack said he was excited about as well it's like three for three sold i'm in now a big part of why i'm in is andor has, like, Andor basically was the breath we've been looking for for the Star Wars properties. They got to, like, nail the next. We got to, kind of like DC, we said once upon a time, we got to start a winning streak here. Do not give me, like, a 38 to 13 loss the week after we, you know,

finished Andor. That would not be good. I forgot about the girl from Logan. I forgot all about her. But, yeah, let's keep the good vibes. Let's keep the good times forgot about the girl from logan i forgot all about her but yeah let's keep the good vibes let's keep the the good times rolling with the star wars galaxy i was gonna say this is not next so that's also something working in its favor that's true yeah we're gonna get the bad batch first in january and then we're getting mandalorian season three march 1st so i

and then after that i think we're getting that skeleton crew show which i'm not even sure what that that's going to be about necessarily jude law's in it i think um and then i think we're going to get this one also if people don't know the high republic era is the golden age of the jedi like this is when the jedi order at its peak. We kind of like in the prequels learn about the Jedi as they're falling apart. You know, we see the era in their ways. We see the Sith has already come back and it's been in the shadows. The High Republic era lasted for centuries, ends around 82 BBY. So this is about 82 years prior to A New Hope.

Jedi were very active in the galaxy around this time. They were exploring the outer rim for expansion and they rendered aid and settled disputes for the Republic through peaceful methods. So finally, we're going to see prime Jedi. There's, there's a possibility for Yoda in this show. Yoda does appear in the higher public stuff.

Obviously he's been alive for hundreds of years. So keep an eye out for that. I do think it'll be more andor than mandalorian if that makes sense mandorlorian that'll be the kind of mix of them mix of them both i want to see two things i expect to see two things in the show one some cool lightsaber jedi shit that they'll probably expand on some powers and stuff like that or it's lightning because it's Sith. Oh, yeah. I wouldn't mind that.

I also would like to see a little bit of the Jedi's just smelling their own farts. They feel all so fucking good about themselves. Give us a little preview of the reason they fell. Because I'll tell you, every time I watched the prequels or they did it kind of with that, what was the one with Dooku where you see his whole thing? Oh, Tales of the Jedi. Tales of the Jedi. I'm kind of like, I kind of hate the Jedi.

You know, like Mace Windu and all this shit. I'm like, you guys kind of deserved what happened to you in Order 66. I almost don't want to see that because I want the breath of fresh air of the Jedi just being awesome. So I guess that's the other side. I guess you could just have it where they're just awesome. And then at some point between then and the prequels is when you start seeing the because by the end of it they're fucking so high on their own bullshit they don't yeah what if what if they're so like awesome in this series and have such like actually good morals that you look at

the prequels differently and you're like oh shit like they were kind of assholes huh yeah yeah exactly and just through time like everything else it just slowly dilapidated or whatever. Okay, I can get down for that as well. So I'll be down for that if that's the other way. Smelling their farts, not smelling their farts. Either way, it's good for me. Cool-ass Jedi shit. Sold.

100%. Speaking of cool-ass Jedi shit, this is just a quick mention. The sequel to Jedi Fallen Order fallen order jedi survivor releases in march and i played a little bit of jedi fallen order which is a revered video game like people absolutely love this game i played a little bit of it first couple levels in the middle of covid when like we were all streaming every night and trying to do stuff like that and then i just fell off only the first couple levels i looked up how long would it take to beat the game? It said anywhere from 12 to 18 hours.

So here's my deal to the subscribers. I will do a stream playing that game from start to finish 12 to 18 hours, however long it takes. If we hit 40,000 subscribers by the time the sequel comes out. When is it? When's the March? A lot of time. If we hit 40,000 subscribers by the time the sequel comes out. When, when is it? When's the March? A lot of time.

We got like 33, 34,000 subscribers right now. It's a couple thousand more. I think we could hit it though. That's like two K a month. Yeah. I think we could do that. Let's do that.

I want to just, cause I want to see the game. Cool. Whatever. I want to see Bob slowly lose his mind from that. I'll do it in the office too. I'll do it in like the game time room. You know see bob slowly lose his mind from that 12 i'll do it in the office too i'll do it in like the game time room you know i'll throw on a jedi road because i'm sure mregs can set me up with a stream that actually looks good yeah exactly but you know

it's something that is it a bit of a punishment having to do it in one sitting a little bit but it's something that part of me wants to do like I want this video game to come out and me to know the whole story and all that. Be familiar with the game. My kids and I, last Christmas, we have a thing where we can play like a bunch of old arcade games and we beat the Simpsons game. There is something about just beating a game in one sitting. Oh man. It's like such a sense of accomplishment.

Yeah. And we have like a billion games where there was an issue hooking it up to the TV but this christmas we're going to get into the tv i'm going to hook it back up and it's like all right kids we want to do ninja turtles we want it's like all the you know the x-men game or wait i've beat the x-men game before that was uh i joined like three-fourths of the way in when i was like 10 years old and it's still one of those moments i could still see the end screen and all that so let our boy Bob Cook get us to 40K. And then we got a bunch of trailers released that I thought we could talk about. The first one that I want to bring up is The Last of Us.

Are you familiar with The Last of Us? I am not familiar with The Last of Us. I watched the trailer before it went live, and I'm going to kind of like just play it in the background as you kind of give some thoughts of it all. I've never – I know it's a game right it's a video game okay they made two video games the first one being i mean both of them are great the first one is like people consider it one of the greatest playstation games of all time

and it's one of those games that i just i remember the artwork for it and looking at it and go that's just way too much like mental that's meant way too much brain power for me to expend on that. I've lost that like ability to play a game that in depth. I've never even, I don't know if I ever had that. It was like, I was able to play like all right games growing up, Final Fantasy VII is maybe the most in depth for like RPGs, but these games, these new ones, I got one with my PlayStation 5.

I've played it like twice and I was like, nope, that's way too much. Grand Theft Auto is basically my highest level possible of like, you know, doing the missions and shit like that. So tell me all about The Last of Us because it was a sick ass trailer. I know it's like one of the biggest games in the universe. It's amazing. Pedro Pascal is the star of the TV show.

And I pretty much bought a PlayStation 3 to play this game and did the typical Robbie Fox thing I do with all of my video games where I played a couple levels. And then I fell off of it because I get addicted to a video game for like a week. And then I'm like, all right, I'm not a video game guy though.

And I went on YouTube. I looked up the cut scenes because the cut scenes were so good. They were like a movie. And I just watched the rest of the video games so i could know what the story was it's such a good story i think they're gonna do the whole first game in the first season um and it's kind of mandalorian-esque in that pedro pascal is you know leading a child through an apocalypse in a way it's a zombie apocalypse though and these zombies are unique they're like

fungi zombies like they kind of look different their heads are all blown up and warped and it's just such a cool universe such a unique awesome story that actually wraps up in a good way like it has a good ending and everything so i don't know if this is going to be a full series a mini series that's going to end It's done by the creator of Chernobyl On HBO which was like Another one of those just super heavy Serious but great shows And the trailer was interesting because

They don't really show you a zombie until the end of it Like a lot of it's just focused on the human to human Interaction which is a lot of the game story So When I saw Chernobyl I was like oh boy Because I watched the first episode I because I watched the first episode. I remember I watched the first episode of Chernobyl. It was a little after everyone had already got into it,

so I wasn't just going in blind. I know of the Chernobyl thing. I watched it, and then the way it ends, I was like, yep, I'm out on this. This seems like the most devastating dark show that there's ever been in history. So I saw that with this movie, and I'm like, I don't know if I'm ready for this. But it's not like, we're not dealing Chernobyl level of despair. Oh fuck.

God damn it. You could have just lied to me. Not Chernobyl. I mean, it's a zombie apocalypse. So that many people are dying. Yeah. Yeah.

And I'm not usually a zombie guy partially because it scares the shit out of me. And partially because I always hate, again, kind of going back to the Titanic thing. Everyone, there was a group of people that were so pro zombie back in like 2014. It was like the biggest thing in the world.

I was like, well now I hate the zombies because of all you idiots there. How funny is, is I was both of those guys, not with Titanic, but I'm the guy that goes back to the movie theater to see a movie seven times. And I was a huge zombie guy in 2014.

Really? So the biggest walking dead guy. Yeah. You would go on to host a podcast with one of those people. One of those people is right. That's what I can do. Those people. And you hate peanut butter,

which is like one of my favorite things in the whole world. However, we did talk on text, both mint guys. We like to eat mint, which is very rare. There's a lot of people that hate fucking mint. This was the biggest thing that sold me on The Last of Us.

Lady Mormont. That girl was so awesome. That is who that was. Game of Thrones. Shit, yeah. She was so good. Yeah, she was a little badass. I was like, this girl, I'm just a fan of hers for life now

100 no matter what she does so i guess this is it i also thought it was a movie i'm now learning it's a tv show it's a show and i'd like to cover it on the on this show i think we should cover it weekly when it comes out i think it's going to be like the hbo sunday night show okay i'm in if it's the sunday night 9 p.m HBO show I'm 100% and I've always said that's like plenty he's playing center field for the Yankees they put it there that means you know that's like the biggest uh accomplishment a show could have basically in terms of time slot that that I'll definitely and I got what's his name I think it's Nick Offerman he's in it right so Ron Swanson yeah Ron Swanson uh obviously our guy Pasquale. And then Lady Mormont.

That's a fucking... What's the other video game? Bioshock. Everyone loves Bioshock. That was another one that was like, this seems like a good time. They're making that into a TV, I think. Are they? That makes sense.

Into a show or a movie, yeah. I mean, I think the video games make more money than the TV shows and the movies at this point. So it's smart for them to kind of follow suit. Grand Theft Auto V is the highest selling piece of media ever. Yes, that's so. And they just keep redoing. They've actually done kind of a solid for people by just doing the online and making it better and better.

But as someone that just wants to play a new game, I'm like, guys, just give me the new game. I know I can just go online and learn a bunch of new stuff. I don't want that. I am a simple minded person. I actually had a moment the other day. What game was I playing? Oh, I was playing Modern Warfare 2, and I was getting –

I'm not very good at the regular game anymore. Even playing Deathmatch and Domination, I'm below average. I used to be average. I played that stupid Battle Royale, Bob. I thought about retiring from video games. I just am. So I cannot even try to get them worried. Oh,

it's the worst man. And like, I'm old too. So it's like, my kids are going to be better at this than I am. And like the first, I think KFC was telling me that his kids are already better than at Zelda than he is.

And I'm like, well, my kids can be me in video games. Like there's no shame in just hanging up the controller and calling it a day. So now the fact that we're watching movies or TV shows about video games this is a world i never thought i'd live in so the last of us let us know if you guys want us to recap it i guess i'm down if bob's not i didn't see that coming but let's rock and roll baby yeah we're in on that i gotta plug my computer

and i'll be right all right cool all right the next trailer i wanted to bring up the bad batch season two in a in kind of an opposite way of the last of us the last of us told a lot without showing the bad batch shows a lot we got like cody we got rex we got the fucking emperor we got omegas aged up which i think is a brilliant move i think we kind of talked about that already but just aging her up from that kid perspective making her a teen great move uh we see crosshair we see the entire bad batch gang it looks bigger badder than the last season see what i did there bad badder that should be in the fucking trailer if it's not already um but i i think it looks sick like the animation looks as good as tales of the jedi it's that same style

obviously and i have all the faith in Filoni. I forgot about the Filoni side of it, aspect of it, too. I love, I'll tell you, on the jump, when you're in that, like, awesome looking beach with those giant crab things, it kind of gave me, like, Mario Kart vibes. And someone about the beaches in Mario Kart, I was just like, man, I just love to just live there, just spend, like, a vacation there and stuff like that. So once I got that, I was kind of in. But then you're getting kind of the cold imperial vibe of everything. You get the emperor glimpse of him and stuff like that. Even saw the blowtorch, which got some like Kylo Ren like era vibes and shit like that.

So we recapped it with Ken Jack for people that didn't catch the first time. We recapped every episode with him. And if you haven't watched it, you can definitely check it out. We got ourselves a Wookiee with a fucking lightsaber and shit like that. That was cool, using the Force. A lot of stuff going on. A lot of stuff going on.

This has got to be around the same time as Andor 2. I would like to see a crossover, and it doesn't have to be over the top or anything, but just have Vel as an animated character in a quick scene or something like that if it's around the same or show us mon mothma you know making a senate speech because we saw the senate chambers you know like do something little like that mom mothma patrolled into shit out of her daughter see if it's around the same time i might be all wrong on my bb wise yeah

be very careful robbie you know these star wars i mean you thought those cameron fans are bad wait till you start throwing timeline errors around with star wars fans here uh and that comes out january 4th i had no idea that was so soon because the basin boys already trying to figure out what's next it's like boom we are fucking right back in the mix i'm i'm also going to go on the record i'm sure we'll do like a we're gonna do a re uh star wars end of year report card star wars mcu dc yada yada yada i am so fucking excited for the mcu right now i keep watching that stupid kang kang kang and jonathan major's just like milking everyone and i'm like man this is gonna be a fucking blast so uh that's neither here nor there uh but uh this bad match i guess to kind of

kick it off the new year for us. So it looks like good shit. And it's a fun, exciting – I could probably even watch it with Sienna the first season again. Oh, definitely. So it's a fun thing you can watch with your kids. It was my first dive into the Star Wars animated stuff, and I enjoyed it. I came out on the other side. I fucking watched Tales of the Jedi.

Easy to watch. They're all 20 minutes. It's a weekly show too, so you're committing 20 minutes a week to it. Not three hours, Cameron, you fucking boob. Yeah. Another superhero universe that I'm very excited about that's not the MCU or the DCU is the Boys universe. We're getting our first spinoff for the Boys.

I mean, they did an animated spinoff, but the first live-action spinoff called gen v and now clem i know you're gonna be upset with me when i say this but i still haven't seen the boys season three which is crazy because i put you on to the boys i was like clem you got to watch this show because season three is about to come out it's gonna be great and then you watched all of it and i'm still sitting here. I haven't seen season three. Because when you get in a relationship and you tell your girlfriend, oh, my God, you should watch the show with me.

You'd love it. She's like, oh, yeah, yeah, we'll get around to it. And then I didn't want to watch season three in front of her because I was like, we're going to watch season one and two at some point. It was just a dilemma. And I haven't got around to it yet. Did she ever watch season one or two? No, no. We started it. So we're like halfway through season one.

But I don't want to watch season three in front of her or without her. But you've already watched season two though, right? Yeah. When did you start season one with her? Months ago. And we fell off. Bob, yeah, this is my boys learning about

the the complexity complexities of a relationship i i didn't know about all this stuff years ago but you know what it's it's a you know a way to be respectful no just got to catch up we got we got to hurry up and there's also a time bob where you just have to cut them loose and say it's not going to happen i do it for work and I think this might be it right now. I think you may just – I was so scared about – I thought I had, like, read a spoiler. And I was freaking out about a certain character dying. And I'm like, oh, my God, I already know this happens. I think I read it before season one.

And it just never happened. And I was like, oh, okay. But I was so freaked out. I was like, I don't want to find out what happens with anything else because it kind of became a big meme thing, a lot of gifs and shit like that going on. So I was freaking out. So my wife actually just sent me a message. She goes, you want to watch White Lotus?

And I've heard a lot of great things about White Lotus that I just wrote. Nope, not going to have the guy to do it because I didn't want to hold her back. So if Lady Fox, if you're listening, just let the guy go and watch season three. I don't want him to get spoiled on anything. I not know that this was a thing this gen v this i imagine was a known project that they probably announced at some point i got the trailer from a lights camera barstool and i was like holy shit we're fucking going back and i don't have to wait for season four to come out we have like a and that trailer is straight up from the boys. It's bloody.

It looks shocking. It has everything you want, a little more adult. It doesn't look like they toned things down at all, and I'm sure it's going to – at least there will be a little bit of a couple speed bumps as you're learning the new characters and all that. But, man, this might be my – I mean, at some point, it was probably my favorite cinematic universe throughout this.

Like this year I was obsessed with the boys for like the three weeks and we banged it out in like three weeks. Cause we had nothing going on at night. It was like one option boys. Yup. And we get like two to three episodes, great fucking soundtrack with Billy Joel, all that kind of stuff.

I am, I guess if we like rank art, we may have to do that. Maybe for the new year, we'll rank what we're looking forward to the most in the next year. Especially if gun gives us an idea what the fuck's actually going to get them out for DC. This is, I'm going to say blind, like top, top five. I can say comfortably maybe top three,

but there's a lot of good MCU shit coming out that I'm really excited about. We got to get you, Bob. Come on, man. What are we doing here, kid? I know. I was, I was just trying to be a good boyfriend and then it turned into like i forgot about the boys which is which is uh you know that that's kind of a double entendre that's funny good boyfriend but being a bad boy i forgot about the boys yeah i forgot about the boys here you know me and everyone in the basement just like he's coming don't worry bob bob bob would never ditch us and then it's just like all right just close the door i guess bob's not coming it's always the first one to leave for the girls and that's bob bob's up with the lady upstairs and we're just gonna hang out in the basement fire hey listen everyone when genvi

comes out i'll recap this shit by myself if i have to the fucking i know the podcast is my mom's based with robbie fox i'm gonna change it to clumb for those episodes i'm gonna go watch it with you on my podcast itself if I have to. No, no, no. I know the podcast is My Mom's Based With Robbie Fox. I'm going to change it to Clem for those episodes. I'm going to go with the back then. I'll watch it with you. I'll watch it with you. Is that a promise? We'll get popcorn, yeah.

That'll be our couple show. If you don't, you have to, I was going to say, inject yourself with like compound B, like basically just carrots. We're going to have to think of like a boys thing just to put the carrot out there to get you to finish it. Because I'm not putting a bomb in my ass. I'm surprised you have,

there's crazy shit in season three and listen, anyone who hasn't watched it yet, you guys have to watch the boys. I've heard whispers about little things here. Yeah. I think I got one or two crazy things spoiled for me along the way. I know our boy Jose doesn't like it because he doesn't like the comic book. He's never seen the TV show.

It's dynamite. It's, it it's it's one of my favorite things it's one of my favorite properties in entertainment in general so uh gen v and the thing is this is a i don't know if it's a prequel or it's like a school it's like a school yeah like an xavier's you know school for gifted whatever yeah so uh it looks fucking crazy i just going back to that world man it's just you don't know what the fuck's gonna happen it's just gonna end with blood and like the chunks of human matter all over the place it's absolute chaos one of my favorite things clem is game time this is the exclusive ticketing partner of barstool sports created by fans for fans game time is the ticketing app that makes it easier

GameTime is best in the biz. Best in the biz. Now let's get into some questions. We called this a mailbag edition of the podcast. We're finally getting to that mail. I put out a call on Instagram and Twitter. The first couple are from Instagram. Steeries said, did you cry watching Clerks 3? I get a little misty watching Clerks 3. You know, recently I haven't been crying as much at movies.

I get misty and then I get get a single tier, like the commercial. So I haven't seen Clerks 3 yet. That's been on the docket. I like to kind of pile up some things for the Christmas break. But is it streamable? It is now. It is now? I don't know if it's free But you can rent it on streaming

It is one of those funny things When I see something I want to watch And I'm like It's not free on streaming I have to pay $1.99 to rent it I'm so taken aback Yet I can buy some food Delivery charge would be more than that

I was going to say I'm the opposite I'm so flippant with the 299 rental movies that i might spend seven grand a year on rental yeah 299 let's get it when i found out that disney did that uh disney plus did that thing was like the premium i get to spend like the extra 30 dollars like oh no i had it so in my mind it was gonna be free it's just one of those weird things in my brain. I have like a mental block for, I actually watched, what did I buy? I bought it the other day.

They did a dog walk about like the history of Nickelodeon. Did you? Oh yeah. It was called the orange years or something like that. I watched it on Hulu, right? On Hulu. Yeah. And it was, it was fantastic.

I recommend, that's another thing that I recommend to anyone that grew up in the 90s. It's just so much nostalgic, just magic, magic. So Clerks 3, haven't seen. I've gotten the vibes, though. There's some sad shit that goes on in this. And I'm happy people told me that beforehand, because going into that blind, I'm thinking we're going to get some sex with a dead person joke and all this other kind of like. You still get some of like you still get some of that still get some of that there but it's sad yeah oh fuck i mean shit how long has it been

since the first one at this point i mean we're getting to the one's 94 oh my god i feel a million years old basically clerks like every he made one like every 15 years or whatever the mets were are looking at this japanese pitcher that's born in 1993. I'm like, oh, he's not that old. And he's like weeks away from being 30. And I was like, oh, no. 30 years old and you're born in 93. Like I'm doing the math in my head.

I'm like, yeah, you idiot. God damn it. So it does. I mean, that's a long time, man. That's damn near 30 years. So there's going to probably be some sad shit that comes up from all that. So did you cry? You didn't cry? a little bit like like it got me misty i had like the single tear the next question is from my cousin julie she said uh which fictional character do you most identify with my cousin julie's a teacher that's such a teacher question that is a teacher question. Mine came to mind right away.

I would probably go with William Miller, the main character from Almost Famous. He's a kid who loves rock and roll, hanging out with people older than him, kind of getting into this crazy world where he's going traveling everywhere. I feel like that's a very similar experience to that that I had with Barstool, like the earlier game especially. That's a good call. I'm kind of just looking around the room, just looking at all the different characters I have up to see if there's anyone.

You're like John McClane, motherfucker. Well, I saw the Die Hard poster behind me, and I thought, I'm kind of like Al Powell. I feel like I'm kind of just – I'm loading up my Twinkies at the the mini mart i if i was a cop i definitely would be scared to shoot might have even had an accident shooting a kid which is some dark shit looking back at it now right yeah so i can understand why he doesn't shoot but he's just he's john's fucking road dog from from the jump in that and he even helps out

in two which i do not enjoy too is that her move so i'm gonna go al powell that's the kind of i'm sticking like i'm looking at my Game of Thrones stuff I'm like Hodor I think Hodor probably fits in well just anyone that's a bigger dude I think I always kind of identify with I don't identify with being any scrawny people in this world so we'll go Al Powell for me thanks Cousin

Julie was that her name yeah Cousin Julie thanks for the question Cousin Julie Mr. Brash 11 says who would you like to see as the next street-level superhero after Daredevil? I assume you mean in the Marvel Universe when you say that, when you say, like, after Daredevil. And I feel like I'm going to go with the chalk answer, but if you bring Daredevil in, Punisher's the next one.

And I'd like to see Jon Berthenal or Berthal, however you say his last name. I'd like to see him back as Punisher. I never watched his Punisher show, but I saw clips here and there. He always looked great as the Punisher, and I know he's a much darker character, so you'd probably have to lighten him up a little bit more for the MCU, but I don't know, because

we've been hearing that Daredevil Born Again might be TV MS. Is it really going to be? It's not confirmed yet, but that's what some scoopers are saying. The scoopers are letting it be known, huh? I like that. I don't know much about this superhero, but our boy Jose was waxing poetic. Got to see a lecture in the mix now at this point, right?

And I'm also going to be kind of devastated when our boy Matt Murdock, he's slinging that thing around and ain't going in Jen Walters anymore because they have such a beautiful relationship. But I kind of like I want them both to be promiscuous. I want her. And I want them to then hook up when they see each other. They're a bunch of kids out there. I'll tell you what. Daredevil ain't fucking leaving the boys in the basement waiting for them to watch the boys.

I'll tell you that right now. This question I thought was interesting. And I said they could ask questions about anything. And this one's a unique one. Shower Beer Music said, what was the last great theatrically released blockbuster comedy? So I really thought about this one for a while. And I actually looked up a couple. I think Ted was in 2012.

Ted 2 was in 2015. Neighbors, the Seth Rgan movie with like zach efron was 2014 they had a sequel in 2016 um and then there there was one that i love and what your definition of a blockbuster comedy is but game night was 2018 i don't know if you saw game night jason bateman movie um it made like 110 117 million on a 30 million dollar budget so i was like i don't know maybe that's blockbuster status so i saw a game that we rented and we loved it we loved it great movie i would recommend it we haven't fuck man we had we never did a game night back when we were like we're sitting or married but without kids or dating but without kids. Like, we might have done, actually no, we did do a game.

We played a lot of Parcheesi with my friends, which sounds like an old person thing to say. Parcheesi is a fucking fun ass game. And we played like a newer version of it. Didn't have like the old little pieces. I don't know how else to describe it, but it was a lot of fun. That movie is awesome. I don't know, I didn't even know if that was big enough to be considered a blockbuster but i mean i think there's a way to kind of like bend the rules a little bit here i'm just looking at the highest grossing comedy films which usually

the newer stuff pops up right because of inflation and all that stuff would you consider deadpool because that's here 2016 i saw that and i i it came to mind as a bit of a comedy like it kind of is a comedy especially watching it back but I don't know because it's also a superhero movie like that I'll be interested to see how people take the new uh Knives Out because it's way more of a comedy than the first one I think oh I'm dying to see that too we still haven't seen that's another one that's going to probably be streamed over uh Christmas break there yeah um the thing is when you're looking at these incredibles two minions toy story four toy story three it's like we can't just say every goddamn kids movie is a comedy even though it's funny which drives me nuts the

secret life of pets by the way fucking number eight on this list it's crazy for me it's crazy it's crazy that comedies have kind of just like become this it should be every year should be one smash hit comedy blockbuster that everyone just left their asses up i still remember though crazy that comedies have kind of just like become this it should be every year should be one smash hit comedy blockbuster that everyone just left their asses up i still remember though when hangover came out it like changed the fucking world like the amount of it was it was such a absolute smash i think i saw it twice in the theater and i don't see a lot of things twice in the theater let alone a comedy but it was just fucking you were just on that ride the entire time so it's probably not the biggest in terms of numbers or whatever but when the first thing that came to my

head was hangover because hangover 2 was like eh not as good as hangover that hangover 3 was an abomination to the goddamn lord uh all right let me see twitter for some questions. Dick Farkas says, favorite slash best episode you guys watched from all the TV shows this year? Favorite slash best episode from all the TV shows this year that we reviewed? I guess from all the things we watched. Let's see. Like from the things that we didn't review, I would say the finale of severance was amazing uh that one episode of the bear that was like a one shot for most of it was amazing um from the episodes we did review that the fucking prison break episode of andor is so good it's been in my mind since i watched it

i've watched that like two or three times at this point. I'm sure one of the episodes of House of the Dragon could be up there. More than one episode of that show could be up there, to be honest. Mine is, like, I think Peacemaker, there could have been, like, maybe the finale of Peacemaker was pretty good. The Mando episodes of Book of Boba Fett were pretty good, right? Was that this year? That was last year. Oh, was it last year okay so um i think my answer though is it was i think the end of part one of the stranger things oh yeah left us off before part two we're like oh my god that's a great call with it with the reveal of ethna yeah yeah oh great call such a good episode yeah and i was like

i when when the episode like that, I then hit like obsessive mode and I was obsessed for like that six week wait or whatever it was between that episode and the next episodes when they got released on Netflix, which again, I know they're not going to do it because it's the last season, whatever. I am so bummed that Stranger Things, I understand it kind of was like the, the poster child for why binging can be good because everyone binged it so much. I wish we could have all watched it together

like we do House of the Dragon and go through all those episodes one by one. Based on that good username on this one, the previous guy's username was awesome though. Beer Shower Music are one of those. Robbie Fox, Mary Fuck fuck, kill beer, shower music. However,

I'm not putting beer on the list. Cause I know you're not a drinker. Marijuana. Okay. Music shower. You couldn't. And like. Shower.

So like, I'll be dirty if I kill that one. Yeah. All right. You have to take a cold shower every day then. Oh my god. You weren't expecting that one. That was the Clem mailbag question.

That's such a tough one. Mary Buck Hill. Warm showers. Warm showers. Weed. And music. I'm marrying music. Okay. I'm marrying music Okay And I'm fucking killing warm showers

I think I'm taking cold showers For the rest of my life And you know what I'm going to get a little bit high Before everyone just to make it feel a little better I was going to say Does getting high make it feel better or worse I don't know how I think a little better

I think you could get your heart rate down to that level where you're like, temperature is a feeling. Yeah. I was saying what you have to do is actually just blast the music and just get in that berserker mode kind of a thing. Yes, yes, get in Metallica, like shit like that, where you're just like, ah, start doing jumping jacks in there so you're sweating or something like that. Yeah, was a tough hypothetical club i put me on the spot

there yeah that was the you you have you get a little uh hint of some of these uh questions before we go live that one came out from your freshman i didn't even know we were going to be doing it going in but that that is like that username beer shower music you put like i that takes you back to college where you like have the shower beer and there's music playing because you had like a radio in your thing it's like the happiest time of your life is when you're in that shower drinking a beer before you go out so tip of the cap to that for the fucking username a plus work my friend you know i'm a good question i'm not much of a drinker as you know um i had a shot of taramana tequila last night the rocks brand going tequila last night The Rock's brand

Going tequila when you're not a drinker God bless you my friend It was fucking gross No disrespect to Dwayne, love The Rock The people around me Were all like, oh that went down smooth That went down easy, like pretty good huh And I was like, can you get me a soda from the fridge

My tummy hurts already When I was in third grade I'll me a soda from the fridge? My tummy hurts already. When I was in third grade, I'll never forget it. I ran off the bus. It was the end of the school year, the last day of school. And we have our people in our thing in your book bag. I think about who you're... Actually, no, it was probably my report card from the end of the year. And I was like, to the end of school.

And there was just a bottle of tequila just sitting on the table. I don't know why. Looking back, my parents must have been having a party or something. And I swigged it end of school and there was just a bottle of tequila just sitting on the table. I don't know why. Looking back, my parents wasn't having a party or something. And I swigged it out of the bottle and went. And from that point on, I can't even smell tequila without like my stomach just gurgling. So, Bob, that is the wrong thing to drink if you're not a drinker. But I guess you held yourself together right that you're alive right now. So I was with I was with State Champss who's like one of my favorite bands they've been on the show before and they were uh the the band who had

a member throw up live on the show so it was like they were about to go on they were like we're all taking a shot of tequila it was like not peer pressure but a little bit of peer pressure i was like how could i not you know oh this is-company party hijinks going on? Well, I skipped out on the company party to go to this concert. So this is me getting my lid on, you know? All right. All right. Northerner4Now says, Barstool Galaxy's Edge trip still happening? Yes, it is.

I don't know. There's no, like, concrete plans on it. But it's something that Dave, like, every time it's brought up to him, he's like, we have to, like, do that still. He's, like, definitely still in on it but it's something that Dave like every time it's brought up to him he's like we have to like do that still he's like definitely still in on it so there was a tweet um I don't know if it's everybody's getting this or just me because I uh you know I'm going to Disney I probably said it a few times but I'm getting Walt Disney World uh ads targeted to me on Twitter now and it says strike deals and save the galaxy with familiar friends. You may be their only hope.

And then it has a link to the Galactic Star Cruiser Hotel. And I just replied to the tweet and said, biggest rebel I know is at stoolpresidente, dot, dot, dot. And it doesn't have a single like or reply or anything to it. And you get usually just one of those if you have Dave tagged in anything, or you'll get a bunch of fucking spam bots just loading it up nothing but i'm telling you bob we have to figure out a way to not only go to disney with dave we got to get on the fucking star cruiser my friend we got get on the star cruiser and listen if we're doing a video with dave which is i think what like this

whole genesis is playing game from someone's got to be sponsoring it right and if you're sponsoring it like the hotel's going to cost us money anyway a little bit more. I mean, Dave could also shit this money out of his... And you put us in the prison from Andor. Yeah, exactly. It's like, Dave, don't you... This is fucking just like... It's going to be incredible. We could almost...

Then I was starting to think, does my mom's basement pivot and just start doing reviews for things like the Star Wars Hotel? I'm like, that would be a pretty fucking sweet job so i started doing reviews resort reviews like and listen before you say boondoggle our boy rigsy was called the boondoggler and he has a fucking massive brand and i'm sure those guys ain't complaining playing golf every fucking week so bob i think we may have to pivot the show next year and we start doing fucking resort reviews for the fucking nerds out there if you got but we need people to start clicking that's what we have to do so hit that subscribe button

hit the bell give us a thumbs up comments whatever it does let the basement boys get out of the basement imagine we came to the resort boys the resort boys sounds nice but yeah i'm 100 in for it i'm gonna be going the first week of april i think jeff has like three days three weeks that work for him in the crazy dozen schedule i think one of them was the last week of april i think we got to get on the star cruiser though like if you're gonna go uh to disney with a star wars fan with a guy that just so happens to be a multi-millionaire i think and and is also like the head of a media company i think it would be almost a slap in the face to everyone that can't go. If we didn't go to this fucking galactic star cruiser date,

Dave's going to fucking love it. Like he, if he, you've told me he gets to act like he's in fucking star Wars galaxy. I'm telling you about, I don't have good escape from all those, you know, hit pieces or whatever,

Dave, you know, we sell it to him like that. We're like, you you'll escape from all that noise, all that chatter and just transport your mind into the galaxy far far away maybe we like put it like if michigan wasn't you talk to him about this at rough and round tomorrow if it comes up at any point i'll bring it up i'll i mean i'll be on the plane with him so like that there'll be a lot of

time to be like so what about fucking star wars that is one tenth of the fuel it takes to fly that plane could get us to fucking galactic star cruiser for a fucking uh three nights or whatever the fuck it is um jordy our friend jordy said can we do a high republic book club i'll bring the beers i'm not much of a reader reading and books and video games same thing for me i i get them i'm very excited about them i get through the first chapters get through the first levels and i fall off i have a couple high republic books did that with them but i would be down for uh jordy coming on this podcast and telling us all about the high republic ahead of the acolyte or something like that i think in the new year we should have jordy matt fitzgerald some of the other nerds at Barstool on more often. That should be a goal for us.

Yep, 100% agree. I was saying, Jordy, instead of the beers, as Bob said, he's not a beer guy. You bring the barbecue. He does the meat sweats for Barstool. I've always seen the fucking, he shows us the before and after pictures. And I'm not much of a barbecue guy. So it's kind of like a, hey, sell me on barbecue. Yeah, I got a smoker for a couple years ago for a present i was like oh

this is a great idea and then it's like oh you have to start at like five in the morning and it's a solid day worth of just even it's an electric one so it basically takes care of itself but it's you have to remember to put the chips in you have to remember this between kids i'm always like work doesn't take off for me so i'm always working i always have something going on it's just much better if jordy just makes it so jordy you bring the barbecue you bring the book knowledge and we're just going to chop it up in the base and have ourselves some fucking good old time and then the final question of the episode um where is it i just lost it will come from where is this thing oh here it is narticle narticle 2 said if you if you had to use one scene to explain why

you love star wars what would it be i thought that was a great question it's a it's such a hard question because there's so many aspects of what you love about star wars you know there's so many i i love the ending of return of the jedi where luke decides not to kill his father i love the ending where you know if you consider that whole throne room scene in jedi where like vader kills the emperor at least until rise of skywalker the safest son luke um like that is is the kind of thing where i remember even being like a kid and being like the bad guy turned good like oh my god it's like wrestling like this is like you know something like that so like that yoda lifting the x-wing out of the swamp i feel like is a great one of, even the small guy that you would never expect can be the most powerful

person in the fucking world. Something like that. The one that gives me chills every time I watch it is, is Luke looking out onto the twin sons, but that's more like John Williams score than it is like the scene itself. I feel like I would go with either, like either Luke versus Vader fight the, I am your father fight in Empire is incredible.

And then, but fucking I love you, I know. Our boy Bob is going to... I mean, realize you did not say any of the sequels or prequels this entire time. No, because I mean, listen, I love the sequels and I love the prequels. But there's nothing that holds a candle to the original trilogy, even for me. Nothing holds a candle to it. Anybody, other than prequel stand, anybody that says that there's anything that can compare to the original trilogy,

I think they'll have to get their brain checked. I would say, I was kind of just running through all of them, because it's like you almost feel like you have to have a lightsaber fight in there or something like that, right? However, I'm'm going empire just because i fucking love empire and i'm thinking either the scene where they're going through the like they're starting to go into the asteroids and i'm thinking about the music being played john williams is such a big part in all this as you think about it yeah but i think i'm going to

go with the escape from cloud city because even though our boy han i think han has to be there but he's really nice he's not there obviously but my boy r2 comes up clutch it's that fucking it's a chase the whole but you get the whole luke invader dynamic when he's talking to him through the force or whatever and then they kind of just get away and again my guy r2 coming up clutch millennium falcon my two favorite characters in the fucking show even though they're machines so i'm going the escape from cloud city and again a great one i as you're answering i'm thinking of a hundred more too like like the millennium falcon coming in to save luke on the trench run and you realize and like han isn't so cold after all like he's got a warm heart on the inside like that's such a great moment there's such great moments in the beginning of

empire um between han and leia even the luke ones god star wars fucking rules clem that's star wars fucking rule the scene with the sarlacc where they plan the the the escape with a done done done that's so good how about when Luthan says it's tubes? I think that might be my favorite. It was tubes! Tubes! He's like, what the fuck? Me? Oh, God. All right, Clem. This was a podcast where, as always, we're like,

hey, we don't have a lot to talk about this week. We wound up going well over an hour. Shout out to you, Bob Fox. Shout out to all the listeners who stuck around. Hashtag live by the gun to ends there for James Gunn. Lots to get excited about as we wind off the year here. And maybe like, don't bother James Gunn. Like don't send them incessant tweets,

but every now and then just send James Gunn a tweet and be like, the basement boys know what they're talking about. If you ever need some advice for DC or extras in the background or people to play batman and robin yeah because we're close enough with waldron that i'm not gonna do that but i'm also thinking i know maybe one day i'm like maybe save that favor for star wars be like waldron can you please put me just in the background i don't need to even be on screen. Just like put me in the background so I could act like I'm in the galaxy. So here's the final question of the episode. I don't want to go a little longer, but I'm going to ask you because I won't remember next time we do a mailbag.

If you could be in one property, what would it be? Is the answer Star Wars? Without a shadow of a doubt. See, I think my answer. If you said like Secret Wars or a random star wars movie i would probably pick the random star wars movie really yeah so that's what i'm saying i think mine would be secret wars just because i remember being so fucking jealous of matthew barry being an end game yeah that guy gets to live the rest of his life acting you know knowing that he was in that fucking movie

and i mean he has a little bit more a couple more pelts on the wall than we do. I mean, he fucking like helped build this monster at ESPN with the fantasy and all that kind of stuff. But man, that would be so fucking cool. I mean, listen,

I think only a couple more years till these arms outgrow the protocol droid suit. You know what I'm saying? All right.
