Hello and welcome to My Mom's Basement presented by Barstool Sports and 3C. I am your host, Robbie Fox. Along with me is my Knicks brethren, Clem. We are here as the Knicks boys this week. If you watch the rundown this week, I'm all in on the Knicks. I love them. Bing bong. Bing bong. Yeah. A potential for a hot dole in summer. Here we go, Bob. I told you a couple weeks ago.

And I mean, we need our Rangers to take two now. Just got to win two games. I know. The Rangers I'm worried about. The Devils are coming back. The Rangers are playing very feebly in the words of Frank the Tank. I'm worried. Frank's going to be in the building, though. So that's what you wanted, right? He'll be in the words of frank the tank i'm worried frank's gonna be in the building

though so that's what you wanted right he'll be in the building hopefully so uh we'll see if they come back and the knicks sunday got uh the heat going back to the 90s feels like that 99 feeling all over again so playoff jimmy's gonna haunt my dreams and the knicks boys are here the basement boys are ready to rock we have a smorgasbord of topics to talk about today too it's beautiful we do and don't worry they don't involve sports i'm sure there's some people listening to the first like 30 seconds minute of this podcast like what the fuck are these names what are they talking about it's like when other people from barstool listen to us talk about nerdy shit essentially we just flipped it on yeah part of my take starts talking star wars and like

what the fuck's going on right now someone they when they become the Mr. Krabs meme, so everything's going to be all right. And we have a bunch of nerdy stuff here that I think I think it's going to be. We have a lot of fun stuff coming up, looking, looking into it here. I had no idea. We do. And a lot of this news and announcements that we can talk about comes from CinemaCon, which I'll be honest, before this this year i didn't really know much about cinema con maybe i had heard about it maybe had seen some tweets but i was talking to the lights camera barstool boys about this as well there was like an announcement every 15 minutes from this fucking

festival of this week it just kept going on it started on monday i think it went through friday this is the first year cinema con ever took place prove me oh is it prove me wrong bob you can't yeah i don't know it's i i feel like it's probably true because we're always covering all this shit i've never heard the word cinema con i've never read it in my life until this week so first year cinema con they've done a good job get it out they did a great job yeah i do think at some point comic-con started just becoming its own CinemaCon and they just started taking everything there. And now I feel like people, what's the Disney one called? D23.

Like the D, yeah, the D23, that kind of stuff. I feel like other people are like, we just got to do that, but for non-Disney products and they just have another thing here. So we got plenty to talk about. So thank you, CinemaCon. We are in the weird gap between Mandalorian and the Guardians. And shout out cinema con do you think we could put on like the lights camera barstool con and just invite all of these studio execs to come like suck off their own studio work because that's pretty much what they did here i i would be honored to have to let these guys suck themselves off in front of us and just promote all their shit. So I think we drop all their new trailers for us.

We've reached a point at barstool where it's just like the NFL draft show. You just have like random celebrities and athletes. Dana white, just chill. Dana white, Portnoy and Jersey Jerry and a triple threat match of yelling was an incredible spectacle. See,

that's where we are barstool in 2023. That might've been my favorite moment of the night last night, watching Dana, enjoying that chaos. Like Dana might've loved that more than any of the viewers. He was laughing so hard and Jersey Jerry, just being like, Dave, we never fucking needed you on the stream,

Dave hanging up. That was the most beautiful chaos that like the epitome of the chaos that is Barstool in like 30 seconds right there. If you haven't seen that clip, make sure you go on Twitter and check that out. This podcast is brought to you by 3Chi.

They had some screenings in New York. We did not see the movie. We'll be going next week together basement boys doing a little road trip seeing the movie together

but the reactions are out and they are overwhelmingly positive this is a lot of people's favorite movie since endgame i've seen favorite mcu movie since endgame um our guy liam crowley not the liam crowley that works at barstool, but the other Liam Crowley said that this is his favorite movie in the Guardians trilogy. And I really do take his word like I put a lot of faith in his word because he has been not overwhelmingly positive about all of these movies. I remember I think Love and Thunder. He was a little meh on. So I look at a lot of these reactions and I'm like, holy shit. I think James Gunn landed that plane. I'm very nervous. Like, I don't want to believe I don't usually believe the critics in general because we've seen how many times where the tomato is nice and fresh.

And then once the audience comes in, it tips over, which, by the way, I never realized this about Rotten Tomatoes. We were talking about it on I was on the uh first classic first first watch classic or whatever with eddie what you did with taxi driver i did with uh monty python uh holy grail it's basically just thumbs up thumbs down on the movie and everyone thinks it's like a rating that people give and then they add it all in it's just you know 60 of people liked it and the other 40 just said thumbs down on it which yeah completely kind of changes how rotten tomatoes is in my mind i didn't realize you didn't know that that's a big part of the reason why movie rankings.net exists because in jeff's mind he was like if a hundred percent of critics say that a movie is a 65 it's a hundred percent on rotten tomatoes yes and and that is

why i think there is a disconnect there, which I would almost like. I think it makes more sense as Rotten Tomatoes, but Rotten Tomatoes kind of became the gold standard. And it's like, no, it's more of a, should you be a casual rating system? It would be fine. I'd actually prefer that than is it good or bad is what I just want to know in the long term of things. So that's why we only go to MovieRankings.net. That's how I work. So shout out, jeff for that uh but i i am cautiously optimistic this one means more to

me than pretty much any other movie's gonna mean so i am very uh i am very excited the other thing about this though the reviews are good you're hearing all this buzz every single clip that they have had in the last two weeks i am meh at absolute best for it's like drax on the couch and he's laying down not laying down uh peter quill dropping in the first f-bomb in mcu history there's nothing where i'm just like oh baby this shit fucking hits let's go i'm kind of just like yeah like i guess i'm happy i know about that now because it didn't really do much for me here so that's how I'm feeling right now, Bob. Cautiously optimistic of it all.

You got to hope that they're saving the best stuff for the movie, which I was worried about when they released the first trailer. And we saw the moment where Drax bounces the ball off the girl's face. I thought that was so funny. I was like, how did they not save that for the movie? Now the rest of the clips, maybe James Gunn heard us. Maybe he was listening to The Basement as he tends to do every week. Subscribe, rate, comment, like, do all that shit, right? And maybe he said, let's save the best stuff. I did see that Rocket's original love interest, I believe, is being played by or voiced by Linda Cardellini,

making her one of the very few to have more than one role in the MCU. Oh, shit. I had no idea. Yeah, she's the otter, I believe. Lila the otter. Yep. She has the aura, too, actually. The actress. I don't know. There's so much about her. She's just a likable otter. I don't know. No offense, Linda Cardellini, another

one who watches The Basement every single week. Subscribe, rate, thumbs up. She's a huge fan. She's more of a actually wake-up- up with Mincy fan, but then she found out about us through, which we won't even get into that. By the time people read this,

we got Mincy may no longer be waking up. It might just, yeah, it's, it's tough times right now for, we don't want to bring the vibes down that much in the basement. I mean, that would truly depress people.

Another thing about guardians here, which you told me yesterday, we were in the office. The awesome mix is out there. We know also volume three. I'm not looking looking at it i don't want to know i want to be surprised hear the songs in the movie and then go back and see what other songs they might not have put in or were at the end when i didn't see it during the credits which there are two post-credit scenes was another thing i learned this week okay that's good to know you mentioned that they are the first

movie to drop an f-bomb in the mcu there was a great quote where I think Chris Pratt was the one to say it on the red carpet last night, where apparently Kevin Feige went to James Gunn and said, listen, you don't want to be known as the first guy to drop an F-bomb in the MCU. And James Gunn was like, are you kidding me? Do you not know who I am? That's exactly what I want to be known for. So he let him do it. And that's pretty cool cool Karen Gillan went on the red carpet last night Nebula if you're not aware and said that she would like to play Poison Ivy in James Gunn's DCU I love that casting I mean it's easy because she's got the red hair already but I like that wow that's per I mean it's done. If that's not, if she's not the new Poison Ivy, she bombed so goddamn bad in her like audition

because she has the red hair. She has the experience with James Gunn. She's made Nebula this like awesome character who I should just not even like care about, but she's done a good job. And watch the first Jumanji, kind of have a crush on her. She's like goddamn sexy.

And that's kind of like an X-rated factor. X-rated part of Poison Ivy. Poison Ivy, X-rated. An X-factor part of Poison Ivy. She gets all over you there. She gets in your head. I am now looking very forward to the next Poison Ivy project there. That's all I'm going to say.

I'm going to leave it at that. Bonk. Bonk. This movie comes out on May 4th. May the 4th be with you all. Me and Cle i'm gonna leave it at that bunk bunk um so this movie comes out on may 4th may the 4th be with you all me and clem will be seeing it together we'll get a review up as soon as possible and another thing i wanted to quickly mention that's happening on may 4th carrie fisher is finally receiving her star on the hollywood walk of fame that long overdue was the most shocking news i've ever heard in my life. I've walked the walk of fame,

which people have walked the walk of fame. It ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's not all Hollywood. It is. It's Hollywood. If like the real Hollywood, if you've ever been there, like there's probably like a guy pooping on a star right now.

Yep. As I say this, it is great. It smells bad. It's kind of dirty. It's still cool to see, but the fact that like Oscarcar the grouch has a star and shit like that and princess leia didn't have one are you kidding me like what she's

hollywood royalty too like she has like a thing a name back in the 70s and shit like that and you know i know her family was involved in the business so it must have just been like she didn't want one but like well i did learn when i did the video doing Mark Hamill's Walk of Fame when I covered that, which go back and watch that video if you've never seen it. At this point, it's like five or six years old, but I still think it's pretty funny. I learned that basically you have to be elected to like this group says, all right, you're allowed to have a Walk of Fame. Once you get elected, you got to pay $30,000 and a yearly fee to keep that star nice or whatever. So there's a $30,000 flat rate. And usually that comes along with like a promotional thing.

So I would assume Lucasfilm is paying the 30,000 to have a may the fourth promotional thing. When I went and saw Mark Hamill get it, it was to go with the DVD Blu-ray release of the last Jedi. So it's always, there's always something more to it You know it's always a little bit commercialized I'm trying to And you know I know the main

It's like you have to have all the I'm sure Carrie Fisher's like I don't give a fuck About a star but I'm just surprised That at some point someone just didn't pay Oh by the way we gave you a star like two years Ago like it's just out there I'm looking at the 11 legendary celebs who don't have a star from the rap

Julia Roberts Carrie Fisher Julia Roberts Clint Eastwood Leo DiCaprio so there are like heavy heavy heavy hitters but it's just she is such a like I just figured at some point every single person that was in Star Wars had a star I'm talking fucking my guy wicked had a star that would be great i did love walking the

walk of fame and seeing all the stars when i was there and like you said it's not the greatest dairy on sunset strip and everything but when you get to one that like means something to you it is like a cool like when you get to the beatles when you get to kiss i was like oh shit this is awesome bruce willis yeah i got like i did when i went with my wife um to la we did this like we all took pictures of like our three or four favorite guys or girls or whatever it may be um in star wars news i had to bring the story up it's the absolute truth i was going to tweet it out and i didn't want to get ruth condor forever but i swear on my i'm trying to swear on my kids something you shouldn't do but we're on han solo's grave bob that's fucking crazy because this story is about han solo oh is it okay that is fucking creepy so when you have kids they will just ask the most ridiculous questions just out of the blue

and it'll sometimes be things like we don't have the kids going to CCD, so they'll ask what happens when you die. Those are very hard questions to answer. AJ was downstairs playing with the Millennium Falcon micro galaxy, which I cannot recommend enough. $25 on Amazon. I should fucking promote this thing.

You really should. You love this thing. I just love it. Look at this, Bob. They have the little chess Bob. They have the little chest floor. They have the, even, again, you have the hidden compartment. Yeah, you have to watch them on YouTube. So he's looking at this, and he has Han Solo. And God is my witness.

He says, Dad, why is his name Han Solo? I swear to God he said it, Bob. I couldn't make this up and i said you know what i said to him i said his mommy and daddy named him that i did not fucking bring up the dog shit fucking twist from the solo movie and i told i just reapplied to my son and you know what i don't feel bad about it at all i feel like that was the right move right that's how every parent should address that question to their kids if they never is asked.

One day he's going to watch Solo, though, and he's going to be like, my dad's a liar. And you know what he's going to – it's like, hey, son, don't you watch that movie? Like, that is the elephant graveyard. That ain't canon, AJ. That ain't canon. Those are the dark days, the days of Kathleen Kennedy just running wild with her fucking approval process. Shit, that's funny. It's not Star Wars related, but my brother texted me a very funny back and forth between his two kids who are age eight and five.

The five-year-old ex the eight-year-old. What's technology? And he said, well, that's what happens when you turn the TV on. That was the whole description. Honestly, he's right. Yep. And it's like it's robots. It's robot parts and magic.

Basically, those are the two things and electricity. Those three things make technology. That's all you need to know about it.

really fucking awesome trailer for the flash it really hyped me up and then they screened the flash for the public for the first time the word word from the screenings? Believe the hype. That's what people are saying, that this movie is confirmed one of DC's best movies ever, if not their best movie. And Michael Keaton apparently got very emotional putting this suit on. They said that at CinemaCon, that the director had to take a picture of him in the suit for his grandson, who loves Batman. That, like, put chills on my arms, just hearing that. Keaton back in the bat cave and everything and the one thing watching this trailer that i thought of and i said this is the one thing i would love in the flesh as a batman fan as a michael keaton batman

fan michael go alfred from those movies has passed away unfortunately i would love a reference or a little tribute to him at some point in this movie you You know, just a picture of him and Keaton on the desk in the Batcave or something as simple as that or as simple as the Flash being like, where's Alfred? And you get a moment where that kind of sets in or something. I think that would be pretty cool. But this has all made me even more excited for the Flash. Obviously, Ezra, we're not a fan of. The guy is an international terrorist As we've mentioned but I'm such a big Michael Keaton Batman fan

That that's what I'm going for And the reviews and the whispers You're hearing kind of make sense where it's like How can you not fire a terrorist From a movie if he's really Fucking good in a really fucking good movie So that makes perfect sense So I will say that

This is kind of like the guardians hype where i'm trying not to let myself get too excited for it and it's also because it's like guardians is two for two dc isn't two for two when it comes to like hits even if they're you know have to have the buzz so i'm gonna go in pumping the brakes still but i'm going to be excited i'm i'm excited for this i didn't realize there's a full-blown like ensemble cast i thought it was like oh we're gonna have a little bit of batman here a little bit of supergirl it's like no it seems like we're teaming up we have fucking we have affleck we have keaton we have everything and i am torn on this part of me wishes

they had they saved that you want to get nuts let's get nuts i know there's also part of me that is like now i'm even more excited and want to see it even more because they're giving a little bit of love to the original movie it's one of my favorite lines from uh agreed that is probably one of my most quoted movie quotes in blogs i use that in blogs constantly especially talking about ufc fights where i'm like what if this guy goes to this weight division you want to get nuts let Let's get nuts. Michael Keaton, though, in that bat suit, that's enough to get me to purchase a ticket right there.

Even if Ezra went and killed someone tomorrow, I might be like, listen, I'll stop. I'll cover my eyes when he's on the screen. You just tell me when Keaton's on and I'll just watch his scenes. Doing the ah-da-la-la-la, like a dumber-dumber with his eyes closed. We also heard that they screened the first 14 minutes of Across the Spider-Verse. Did you read any of the film description for this? I did not. Let me hear some of it.

So I did. I don't think that this is, like, spoilerific. So I don't think that this is bad. If you want to skip the next few minutes of the podcast, we're going to talk about what the first 14 minutes of this movie contain, but it very much comes off as like an extended trailer almost. So it takes place a little over a year after the first movie. And it starts with Gwen Stacy visiting miles Morales for the first time since that movie, she tells him that she's been a part of this secret society of spider men

and women for the last month, basically helping the multiverse and making sure it doesn't collapse in on itself and he starts flirting heavily with her and he's like back to the same vibes he had last time the hey and she tells him listen every universe where i wind up with spider-man it doesn't go well for me so we can't ever be a thing. And I like that little reference, that little tease. But Miles says there's a first for everything. He goes and introduces her to his parents. And then she's, I think, maybe a little like, this is a bit too much too quick.

She goes off to fight the multiversal villains and says, you're not ready to come yet. I don't know why he's not ready to come yet, but that is the first 14 minutes. as i said does it's not like this spider-man comes in and this green goblin comes in very basic 14 minutes but i'm super excited for this movie um i think the problem with miles is that he is more than ready to come and that's why he's trying he doesn't give a fuck about like the girl dying if they start to shoot some webs yeah exactly yeah i think all right so hopeful that people that didn't hear that i don't think there's really much spoilers or or anything like that kind of just setting the scene for it all being one year feels weird because when did it came out like four years ago yeah pre-pandemic for sure yeah so it feels kind of weird how it all went which by the

way the four-year anniversary of endgame coming out just happened and that was and five of infinity war oh my goodness gracious crazy crazy if i mean it feels like it was 20 years ago and yesterday at the same time yeah and i will to be fair i think that's a lot of pandemic brain is the reason for a lot of that right but still just like god i thank god every single time that i see those things that the pandemic happened after Endgame. Because I don't think I'll ever have. I just realized something that's going to blow your mind and it just blew my mind. What? It's been five years since Infinity War.

It's five years since the blip. Oh, my God. It's basically like they would be coming back now. And I say they like I didn't get blipped away. I was like, I'm safe. who would have gotten blipped away who would have been the most funniest person at barcelona get blipped away mince for sure i don't know why but he was the first one that came to mind just him to him come back and being like what the hell what the the out of the eight million people we work with, Mincy was my first choice too. He wasn't even working at the company five years.

I didn't know Mincy existed four years ago. And he was the first guy that came to my mind with the flip. That's how you know you're just a fucking content machine. Even if he doesn't always meet it. Oh, that's hilarious, Robbie. Oh, man. I saw someone talking. I don't know if it was a Reddit thread

or it was something based on a quote But there was something about how I wish there had been more Fallout from the blip That was in the movies and the TV shows Because it feels like now It would be backtracking too much And I know

That they were getting a lot of shit up in the air I think that was a missed opportunity by Marvel. And I think I might've made that point at some point of the 8 million episodes we've done. But that is something that like, every time I fear that, like you have, there are a couple of scenes,

but half the fucking universe just disappeared out of nowhere. And then they just reappeared out of nowhere. So a lot of shit going on there. Maybe you could do that with characters that we haven't seen yet, but that have existed. Like maybe you do that in dare characters that we haven't seen yet but that have existed like maybe you do that in daredevil and you show us like what daredevil was doing in that time because hey netflix fans of daredevil are like we want to see what happened to him after that but it wouldn't feel too much like backtracking i don't know that's just a thought though yeah um

it is what it is it is what it is at this point another thing andy samberg has joined the cast of across the spider verse and he will be voicing spider-man ben riley the scarlet spider who started as a clone of peter parker and then i think he was like originally a villain but pretty quickly was like no peter parker's my fucking brother andy samberg i love it everything so i'm just happy that he's a part of the cast huge andy samberg guy as well and he almost he feels i was gonna say like a goofy version of spider-man a clone makes perfect sense like whoever thought of that one bravo well done more sony news craven the hunter starring aaron taylor johnson the newest movie in the spider-man villain verse which is i guess morbius and venom and shit um this will be the first one to be rated r there was footage shown he's in the classic craven the hunter vest he's setting traps and

killing military convoys and whatnot this will also feature rhino classic spider-man villain for you there paul giamatti's rhino and amazing spider-Man 2 are really, really bad. I'm already a little bit worried about this one, Clem. Not only just because it's a Sony villain verse and they don't have a good track record at all, but because apparently the trailer, which is going to debut in theaters this summer, ends with Rhino turning into a rhino and going, don't you want to know why they call me to Rhino? That's tough. Listen, I get that it's different.

Maybe it looks badass in the trailer. When I read that as a tweet, I'm like, are you kidding me? And for like, to clarify, the first Rhino in the movies was so bad that they like mocked it basically in the last Spider-Man movie, right? Yeah. So I guess you have nowhere to go but up but maybe that's not the case like with sony i don't even know if if like sony when they're on their own i don't know if i have less faith in them than dc like and i'm talking like non-gun dc it's pretty close the thing is i think i do have less faith to be honest okay that's fair i feel like because dc goes spectacular but it's so god damn big it's like guys just hit the little things to start with these guys like the movie is stuff and oh god

i don't know uh i i will not i will not be seeing that movie i'm just gonna say that you won't be seeing what if the trailer comes out and you're like, this is sick. Rated R. Blood and guts. They're saying fuck. Okay. Things that would need to happen for me to see it. One, the fuck.

You have an F-bomb in there. Two, Karen Gilliam in there. Three. Let's see. What else? Get that Millennium Falcon toy in there. Get the Millennium Falcon. We start crossing over different. Let's see. What else? Get that Millennium Falcon toy in there. Get the Millennium Falcon. We start crossing over different.

Let's see. What's Sony? Does Sony have any big properties that like we just lump into their little MCU corner? They definitely do that. We're forgetting about. Like, fuck. Throw like the T-Rex from Jurassic Park. Just because they're a Universal Studios of Marvel land.

Like, do that. I'm in. So those three things. F-bomb, Karen Gilliam, the T-Rex from Jurassic Park. I'll see Craven. Hey, that's a great transition to our next project and announcement we have here because it is a crossover and this is a crossover nobody expected. A few months ago, it got announced that Seth Rogen would be doing a Ninja Turtles animated movie called Mutant Mayhem.

And he came out and said that we're really going to focus on the teenage aspect of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles here. And it's going to be a cool coming of age story. He said at CinemaCon that this will be the first Seth Rogen movie that you could take your kids to. He's very excited about it. Grew up a Ninja Turtles fan. And from the footage they showed at CinemaCon,

we heard that April O'Neil warns the Turtles about two big threats, Gru from Despicable Me and Megamind, another DreamWorks villain. This movie, it's not being hyped right now as like Ninja Turtles versus DreamWorks, but it kind of sounds like it might be Ninja Turtles versus DreamWorks. I think this is a great idea. The Ninja Turtles do have their own villains that are awesome. Don't get me wrong. Ider bebop rocksteady great villains i think we've done those enough where you could save those for a sequel or whatever and give us something fresh unique and very seth rogany here very seth rogany i like that that kind of stuff plays like again i i'm i especially like animated

stuff you know i think you could have some crossovers there and I think everyone's just like we're having fun this is gonna make me seem like an all but I'm gonna reference it like when you would see the Flintstones and the Jetsons kind of get to meet each other and it was like holy shit I can't believe it that felt like a moment ABC

TGIF when Urkel would visit the Full House family or something so you're kind of doing that with these two franchises which if your kids are friends or fans of one but not the other this is how you double dip and get that money baby so uh you were a turtles guy growing up right huge turtles guy growing up and my kids have dabbled in it and like they love it whenever they watch even the old ones and the i mean the song is fucking fire so goddamn good i love the toys i was a big fan of the toys growing up so uh it's one of those things that like i'll definitely be down for you you were telling me how there was a ninja turtles batman um like crossover where the

batman villains get in the ooze and you have like joker's a giant snake and stuff this came out of the in 2020 or was that like a fever dream it it honestly feels like a fever dream but i would recommend it get a little 3G in your system and then watch this. It is an awesome animated movie. I watched it. I told Clem while I was getting a Batman tattoo. Shout out my tattoo artist, Jay Hernandez. He's got TVs in his little office.

He's like, let's throw on a Batman movie. I said, let's throw on one I've never seen. So we threw on Batman first, the Ninja Turtles, and it's a classic. You watch them fight at first, and then they team up and have to take on the villains. I would definitely recommend that. So I'm looking forward to Mutant Mayhem.

The next thing that I'm looking forward to is Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. Steven Spielberg has watched the movie, came out and said that he loved it. Apparently, right as the lights came up at the end, he turned around to James Mangold, and he said, damn, I thought I was the only one that knew how to make one of those things that gave me chills when i read it i gave made me the emoji with the eyes like about to cry like oh that's adorable and then harrison ford came out and said this is confirmed the last time i'll ever play indie and i hope and anticipate that it will be the last time you ever see indiana jones on film because he doesn't want anyone else to play that character yep i kind of love olker mudgen harrison just being like he's

done it's over now put it in a museum that's i'm waiting for him to say he's dead the good news for the indiana jones people you don't have to do any press junkets you don't have to release any trailers you just put a poster of indiana jones and it just has the steven spielberg quote you have me don't hype me up anymore and i'm gonna start building up unrealistic expectations because that quote kind of is building up unrealistic expectations in my mind just say that you have my 15 for the theater let's do let's fucking go do your editing just get this thing looking absolutely perfect let Let's get ready to rock here. And we've seen enough footage already in the trailers. Like I'm sold just the next trailer.

The final trailer should just be the logo and it goes, should go down, down, down, down, down. And that's it. That's all we need.

I'm sold. Yep. Same here. Oh, by the way, let me, let me make this a quick little note here. It blew my fucking mind.

We went to Hollywood studios, obviously we were in Florida for a day. Oh, by the way, let me, let me make this a quick little note here. It blew my fucking mind. We went to Hollywood studios, obviously. We were in Florida for a day and my buddy's a big time indie fan. We tried to go to the Indiana stunt show, Indiana Jones stunt show. And it's kind of like, it's, it's like a ride. You don't wait on lines for it. It's like 10 45, 12 o'clock, one 45, two 30. Every single time we showed up and we showed up one time, we showed up right before showtime. They're like, sorry, sold out.

We showed up like 15 minutes before showtime. Sorry, sold out. And then I heard one of the people say, if you get here a half hour early, you're not getting a seat. You might get standing room only. So our boy Indy is putting asses in the seats of the year 2023 that blew my mind i was probably i didn't even know the stunt show was still around and not only is it around it is thriving bob i love to hear that i remember jeff saying oh yeah they

still have the stunt show while we were there and i said to him during the disney boys trip like oh i would love to see that like i saw that when i was four that was a blast and we just didn't have time for it we were kind of going park to park during the disney boys trip but i love to hear that they're still getting crowds for that thing years decades after the movies come out amazing shocking shot and like when you're it'll only be better after the new movie too that that's actually that's actually a great point and when you're in disney you're just trying to especially holly studios, they have so many, like, they have a few rides, but they're absolute monster rides that have the huge weights.

You have to kind of like make it all work with star Wars land, toy story, that motherfucking slinky dog. I've like, I've convinced myself, slinky dog's my enemy just because I'm trying to get on Dave's good side here and just stuff like that. And in the meantime, it's like, Indy's still just kind of doing his thing. And I, I was just so proud of it.

So, and if you're going, don't like put Indy on the back burner. He's one of the main events, you know, he's not the main, I'm not going to say one of the main events, cause there are some big time headliners there like intercontinental. He's apparently fighting for that intercontinental belt. So shout out to him. Shout out, Indiana Jones. The next project we can talk about we didn't see any footage from we just saw photos but i think jeff d lowe would kill me if i didn't at least bring it

up dune part two the trailer should be dropping any day now and a cool part of this movie it was shot 100 using imax cameras whereas the first movie was only shot 40 using imax cameras i liked doing a lot i think clem is probably in the same boat with me where I thought it was a great movie. I wasn't like, I'm a Dune guy now. Like I'm obsessed with this. But visually, it was one of the cooler movies I saw all year. So hearing that, I'm like, that's cool.

We saw some photos from Dune. I want to point this one out to you, Clem. Florence Pugh, the first photo of her from dune part two you know who she looks like to me who omega from the bad match how about that conspiracy trying to cast a live action omega look no further florence pew is that girl that's perfect bob i think you nailed it i was gonna, or maybe we're confirmed that Dune is a prequel for Star Wars. They're actually on Tatooine. The entire time.

Dune just makes me laugh because I wanted to see it. Just obviously didn't see it in the theaters. I wanted to watch it. And it was one of those things where I watched it on the airplane trip out. I think it was actually out to LA where i watched it on the airplane trip out i think it was actually out to la for the dozen that we had and i watched everything everywhere all at once on another airplane trip and those are the two movies where people like those are two movies you have to see in an imax theater with the fucking super projectors and the incredible sound and i watched

it on a little like two inch by two inch screen and And I had a great time doing it, but I'm just like, you big fucking boob. Those are two movies you got to watch in a bigger spot, but I just don't have time. And I loved them both. Or I loved everything everywhere all at once. I liked June. I was like fine enough with it.

I didn't realize it's like a hard, there's like hardcore fans. It's a big time franchise. Right. So I didn't realize that, but, and Jeff De is like this is his shit right here right he's all in i saw him tweet like he they put out some pictures

of the cast like i just showed the florence p1 but there there were even just general pictures of like timothy chalamet looking the exact same he did in the last one and jeff was like if you're not on this get the fuck off the bus i was like i love it jeff d lowe he reminds me of sometimes a character from big bank theory where i don't mean that in a negative way i actually love the big bank theory i'm with on that one he's just so serious about his passions you talk shit about dune he is not gonna like you in real life yeah exactly i i almost want someone or like i almost want to like go out and either try to become the number one dune fan at

barstool or be the number one dune critic at barstool i but the thing is with jeff you can't piss him off because it's like i don't want to get some dozen questions you know i don't want to get a fastball hummed at my head here so i have to be very careful so maybe we'll put in mincy's brain to become the dune guy yes um the last i guess tentpole franchise thing that I want to talk about before I just have a list of completely random announcements, some of which I think are very funny, and they'll be very funny to touch on. The Hunger Games prequel. The first prequel for The Hunger Games, I think it looks pretty dope.

I didn't realize Peter Dinklage was in it, but they really focus on him for a big portion of the early trailer. And I think The Hunger Games could be a great anthology series. was in it but they really focus on him for a big portion of the early trailer and i think the hunger games could be a great anthology series i think i've said on the podcast before i'm a pretty big fan of the original movies i thought they were great there's been what 75 by the movies 75 hunger games you don't even need to do a series following specific characters just show us like here's what the 43rd hunger games was like and then the next one do here's what the 43rd Hunger Games was like. And then the next one do, here's what the first Hunger Games was like. And then the next one you do, here's what the 13th, you know, go around all the eras.

Show us how the technology advanced, how they got more sinister and whatnot. This is a good start though. Showing us President Snow when he's young, Donald Sutherland and whatnot. I think it looks cool. Are you a Hunger Games guy, Clem? I like Hunger Games. I think I saw them all. My wife is a diehard hunger games fan though.

They, she got, she gets really into the books. Like a few, like she got into twilight. Big time. I remember you saying that she went to forks, right?

You went to forks, her friend and her, her, and she's going to kill me. Luckily. I don't think she's a basement girl. So she wouldn't hear this. Her friend and her recorded themselves,

like acting out scenes in the woods. It's some of the most crazy stuff. Oh, that's amazing. And I always used to say like, oh, I'm going to like share this with people. And that was before I had a legitimate online presence with thousands of people who follow me. So if I did that now, I mean, I would probably get divorced.

But she loves that. But then Hunger Games was the next series that she fell in love with. And this one was much more my speed because Twilight, the way they did the movies, I did not like those with. And this one was much more my speed because twilight, the way they did the movies, I did not like those movies, hunger games.

It's like, it's some gnarly as shit action movies. Yeah. Just fun action movies. And with a lot of actors that I like too. So seeing the prequels, I was like, I had no idea that this was even a thing until you told me to check out

the trailer. I am, I am legitimately excited for it. And I like seeing the structure and it's what 10 years after the first hunger games is that i think so yeah right so i like just hearing like it's still kind of everything's so new and the way that they had like the characters that we know but they're like the young versions of themselves and the technology is new the tvs even look old school and stuff like that i don't know man i fucking, I was a big fan of it and how it's all,

it looks like it's becoming a rating games now. So they're trying to make you fall, like care about the characters more. I loved, I just loved the whole origin story side of it. And it seems like they really embraced it. And then you said Dinklage is fucking the man. So he's in it. He basically had my ticket money for that.

And the only thing is I have no idea about like, I'm not a deep enough fan because I didn't read the books to know Songbird and Snakes, which I know is like the title of it all. I know that the whole Songbird meant something, obviously. So I'm fucking stoked, man. I'm, that will be a basement boys

will be seeing that movie for sure. Yeah, if you were one of these people that thought The Hunger Games is just the next Twilight young adult franchise and you put it to the side, go back, check out those movies, at least the first two. I think they did the third book is two movies. And the first, I think the final movie was kind of like they fumbled over the finish line. But the first two Hunger Games movies, very good action movies i would recommend them all right now let's talk about a bunch of random announcements this could kind of be a rapid fire because they're not things that we're necessarily passionate about but stuff that i thought was worth bringing up first of which new transformers rise of the beast trailer and new animated movie announced were you ever a transformers guy growing up kind of your era right yeah oh i was a big fan of like the toys and the like cartoons like being young but i completely, other than Megan Fox,

I didn't care about the Transformers movies at all. Agreed. I was actually huge into the Shia LaBeouf Megan Fox movies, at least the first two. I got a custom shirt made to go see the second one. I made it and screen printed it myself as a nine-year-old. And yeah, after that, the movies got really bad. But Megan Fox was great in

the first two loved her gamestop movie being made about the gamestop stock rising and whatnot this is a real question will dave portnoy be in the movie or be portrayed in the movie i think yes i think they're actually going to show a clip of ddtg and it will be dave in the movie so is so there i feel like there is some sort of doc out there already. Right. I think there's like a Netflix or is it, what is it? Is this the Netflix one or is there already one on Netflix?

This is a, this is a fictionalized movie coming out where Paul Dano is playing a YouTuber who infested and got rich off of it. Okay. So it's like a, it's a, it's based on life. It's like a big short or something.

Air, air, right? Yes, exactly. I swear to God. And listen, Dave, it seems like he's on, has been on a winning streak since he started a barstool, right? It's just always fucking comes up fortnight. If fucking Bradley Cooper plays in this goddamn movie, it we're never like just just end it now you will never i mean he had a i saw the clip the other day where he's like wayne gretzky asked for a

picture with me and i'm like we live in banana land which is a dave fucking phrase and like he's never going to be humble again for the rest of his life we can't have the like we have to throw our bodies in front of bradley cooper getting cast as dave portnoy for the people that don't know david said like bradley cooper is should be he's bradley cooper lookalike like when he was most certainly not a bradley cooper i'm just gonna say that so i cannot have this actually happen in real life because and i like dave he's my fucking zini guy fucking team portnoy for life i canoy for life. I can't have that. We just can't have that happen. It's like everyone you need to have your buddy has to have a checks and balances. And Bradley Cooper will be the thing where like the.00001% of Dave Portnoy that is still alive in him, the Anakin to his Darth Vader, is gone.

He's just gone. So if that happens, so I'm going to say yes, it will happen. And no, it better not be Bradley fucking Cooper who plays him. And I'll tell you, man, this GameStop thing, I fucking hate it. Because I really think Dave and Steve Cohen would have had a beautiful friendship. But this whole GameStop thing got it fucking. And then we had Nate taking shots at Cohen, which I didn't like. And it just became a whole muddled mess.

And all our brains were all fucking in fight or flight mode because of the pandemic and it was one of the saddest things that ever happened to me is you know like my two fucking like my two dads fighting each other and i just didn't like it at all that's tough well one thing that is going to make you a little happier at least made me a little happier is the fact that the three equalizer has a trailer out one of my favorite action franchises the equalizer with denzel washington the first movie i stand by being one of the greatest action movies out there it is so just silly but great turn your brain off he's setting traps in a home depot like he's fucking kevin mcallister getting brutal kills pedro pascal's in the next one oh my god i love these movies.

These are like a me and Feidelberg and cons go to the movies together, like our Gerard Butler movies. But I just had to bring this up because if you're a basement boy or girl and you don't know how much I love The Equalizer, I want it out there. I am the number one Equalizer guy in the world, I think. It's good to have a franchise like that you're like the face of. Like, Feidelberg is the fast guy, right?

Fast. Yeah. So Rob is the equalizer guy. I feel like it's Ken Jack of the John Wick guy. Would you say like, yeah, yeah. He loves John Wick.

I have to see John Wick too. And for people that have been on the fence, because it's like three hours long or something crazy, every single person who has watched it is like, it is the fastest three hours of your life. You go on this ride and it fucking rules. And the reason it's long is because they're making prequels and you have to kind of meet the characters because the prequels are coming and they're doing all this other like offshoots of it and you're going to want to watch that and i would have already saw

it but every time i tried to see it i was like well i have to pick up the kids or i have to do this i do that same i could never get getting three hours of your life is so fucking hard. And now with baseball and NBA playoffs, it's a hot golden summer going on. NFL draft this weekend. It's just so fucking hard. So I might not even see it in the theaters. I'll probably just watch it on the next cross-country flight I'm on. And everyone's like, you idiot.

You should have watched that in a fucking movie theater. So watch John Wick. I feel like John Wick is going to be a a big thing like a bigger thing moving forward because again i think yeah the studio realized they have a hit on their hands and definitely was it you telling me this no who's telling me about the stuntman someone's telling me yesterday about this at the office that uh apparently i think keanu reeves stuntman is the director for john oh really i don't know it's all the john wicks or whatever and i think it's a thing in hollywood where the um the stuntmen are becoming really good directors because they fucking know how to do the action sequences perfectly you can kind of figure out the dialogue and stuff and we were talking about it yesterday

for a while and uh yeah it was it was was it doug's i don't know if it was doug's or eddie because i'm just thinking like the people that were in the corner and we were all just yeah very interesting stuff and yeah i'm i saw the first two and i was a fan of the first two i thought the first i thought the john wick love at first was an ironic love and then i realized people actually liked it so uh count me in for that for sure i saw the first three but i gotta catch my girlfriend up before we see four so i'll probably wait and see that at home as well so and i haven't watched any equalizer which is how this all started but i i'm going to love the first equalizer hey you call it three equalizer you're showing that

showing me a little bit of creativity there yeah kind of like are in on the joke but you're also like well they're not calling it that no i'm oh no yeah unfortunately not i know yeah no that's just my name for it i wish they were calling it that i don't think denzel would assign for that he'd be like nope no fucking washington i also like the idea of them pitching him what you said in the meeting where they're like you're basically kevin mccallister but denzel washington playing the character it is so awesome it's just you see these scumbags like these pimps these russian pimps these in the second one you get these like nepo babies essentially that are like taking advantage of this girl he literally slices their foreheads open with their daddy's metal credit cards like this is this is a franchise that you got to get in on okay um another franchise that we're getting a sequel of that i wouldn't have expected

beetlejuice 2 in the works with michael keaton keaton's just playing all the hits this is the career he just passed on basically he's like i'm just gonna do it uh 40 years later 30 years later yeah 30 years later um didn't know that was happening i think beetlejuice is my wife's favorite movie so i'm gonna tell her that so there she's gonna be getting i'm gonna tell her to listen to this episode i'm gonna tell her not to listen to the part where i said one part yeah i'm gonna tell her to listen to the rest because this is uh i always get nervous about the original taking a hit from the sequel, but it's been so long.

I'll just forget that the sequel happened if it's not good, but I like that. I'm happy. Is there, is it just, it's out? Is that the news? That it's being made?

Yeah. I guess it's now I look back at the original evening with Kevin Smith. And he told the story about basically getting hired. I think at Universal like right after he did Mallrats and they were like hey we got a couple scripts we'd like you to look at and maybe take a stab at and this is when he did Superman one of the scripts that they wanted to take a stab at was Beetlejuice 2 Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian is that still the name of the movie he said and there's a classic Kevin Smith quote where he goes, must we go tropical?

I think we said all we needed to say with the first Beetlejuice. And I kind of agree with him. Like the Beetlejuice is such a classic that going back on it makes me a little worried. But also like if Michael Keaton's Beetlejuice again, I'd like to see that in the same way. I'd like to see him back in the Batman cowl, like acting ridiculous and zany. And yeah, like, let's see it. You want to get nuts? Let's get fucking nuts and i do think like kevin keaton involved and like inspired for it that gives it

like a decent floor it should at least right so yeah uh if i remember correctly i feel like the beetlejuice cartoon was like a legitimately good cartoon that people really co-signed and i never saw it but i know people liked it yeah yeah we saw the universal yeah that was cool with the snake outside and everything yep by the way i don't know if you watch our dozen thing the other night did they were we were talking about universal studios because it's uh jake marsh's niche oh yeah and we said and we were he's like yeah i had my bar mitzvah there and we said wait wait jake did you have your bar mitzvah at universal or was your bar mitzvah a universal theme and he said both that is the greatest thing i've ever heard my entire life so shout out jake

marsh i love jake another sequel in the works decades after the original over a decade after the original dodgeball with vince fawn involved another one where it's a classic comedy and it's like do you touch that because it's so classic but with vince fawn involved i'm like all right i'll take a stab at it yeah you got to get ben stiller back too right like how do you do it without him at least in a cameo that's actually a fair point you got to have been still involved so you would like to at, or you have to really fucking work hard for it. This is going to probably disappoint some people. I am not a huge dodgeball guy.

I wanted more. I was excited for it. I was perfectly fine with it. I was really excited and it left me wanting. I have also reached a point where we're still saying bold strategy cotton like a thousand years later. I've had to let go of

some of my favorite old movie quotes because they've just gone they'll test if they have not lasted this time that one i'm like we have to stop doing we have to stop using office gifts we have if you use office gifts use ones that are not usually um the main ones yeah yes exactly oh my god it's really happening to guys it's fucking 2023 the no yeah exactly i throw out like you should have joked about that the angela from the uh the the date night one but it's like i i i want i wanted more from from dodgeball hey maybe dodgeball 2 is gonna really be the movie i want a dodgeball one today i know i'm thinking is this gonna be like the cobra kai to dodgeball where it's kind of like they're the coaches training in the next generation.

You get some new young talent in there. Like the, please don't destroy guys from SNL or something. I don't know. There's some, there's some decent opportunity there though. Bob Odenkirk joins season two of the bear. This is just another random announcement,

but I wanted to bring it up here because we both love the bear. I think we both love Bob Odenkirk. don't know who he's gonna play though i feel like is he gonna play a corporate guy like a saul goodman type who he plays in the incredibles 2 or is he gonna be a more down-to-earth chicago patron wow so i saw someone was writing was blogging this earlier and i couldn't see it said bob odenkirk is going to be in the and i didn't know what show was and i didn't click it i just went about my day and the bear of all things i am very happy about this the midwestern bob odenkirk i i like that i'm gonna say he's playing some sort of a family member or a core a close close friend. So an older cousin, his cousins,

dad, uncle, we're going to call him. I can see that. Yeah. No cousin. Well, cousin. Yeah.

Cousin would be on your cousin's dad is your uncle, right? Yeah. So there we go. I'm going to go. You know, what's so crazy is he's so iconic. It's all good,

man. One of the greatest like TV portrayals ever. But now when I see him, there is a part of me that thinks of his, I think you should leave but it's just so good it's so good i'm the same way because it's such a good bit that i it's like 99 so goodman but that one percent is still there and again this is a guy that's like you're either little finger or you're karketty to me or you're this or you're that you're you know

all of us go we talked about the other day and Saul Goodman is such an icon but that one character is so fucking good in just that one scene it's like I cannot look at that face and not think of that guy it's so fucking funny oh it just keeps going on and on too all right so I saved the most random announcement for last this is one that I never could have seen coming in a million years and one that i'm afraid to say i'm not even excited about i'm afraid to say that because i know there's a big fan base that will be excited about this rihanna will star and write music in a new smurfette movie we're bringing back the smurfs listen i know they brought back the smurfs a few years ago they made made a couple animated movies, the kind of live-action animated crossover.

The Smurfs feel like a boomer franchise to me. I think Ken Jacks said the same thing when we were talking about this in the office. I'm sorry. I just don't care about the Smurfs. Okay, so I'm going to make this point on the podcast. I'm with you. Smurfs feels like a boomer thing. If you make a Smurfs joke to anyone in their 20s, they're like, what the fuck are you talking about, old man? Get away from me, right? However, this part is for the social media part. This Rihanna Smurfette thing is going to be

awesome. Bad girl Riri, Rihanna's army, Rihanna's navy, excuse me. I have to fucking edit that part out. It's going to rule. I i cannot wait smurfs is going to be brought back and be better than it ever was because that's how great rihanna is oh we got a girl to show and we have to start making takes i'm going to clip that the the reread navy's going to love that yeah i'll clip that and put it on tiktok they'll they'll eat that up we've still never found out why they call it the navy again is it because she's in battleship or is i think the jay-z line we're in the Army, better yet the Navy. There's a lot of things.

I'd love to get in the Beehive. I don't know how big the Beehive is in 2023. I feel like the Navy is the next Beehive or Bayhive. So we're just, the boys are trying to keep the lights on. We're doing whatever we can here. Listen, I'm asking a lot of the listeners when I say this, but I want someone to draw Clem as the B from the Simpsons now like i want to get in the beehive who's that guy that shows up in the b suit oh yeah you know what i'm talking about i think he's just bumblebee man is bumblebee man he goes someone needs to draw clem in that suit after he said he wants to be in the beehive

man dude sienna's watching the simpsons with me. Like once, like that's our new thing now. We watch like an episode of the tour of The Simpsons before she goes to bed. And I haven't even seen Bumblebee, man. Like there are so many just goddamn 10 out of 10 characters on that show. He hasn't even been in my mind and you just made me him.

So yeah, if anyone wants to make me Bumblebee, man, I would greatly appreciate that. Like, yeah, with like, with the Homer Simpson fan flag that just says Beyonce. Queen B or something. Queen B, yeah. So that's all the CinemaCon news I wanted to talk about. There was some other announcements, some random stuff.

I had Twisted Metal. There's a series they're making. Hugh Grant's a fucking- Are you serious? Yeah, Anthony Mackie. That's a huge fucking deal. Don't you gloss over Twisted Metal on me. I love the Twisted Metal games.

I did. I had them for PS1, my first hand-me-down system. Clem, there's no fucking way the Twisted Metal series on Peacock is going to be good. I'm sorry. It's going to be terrible, but this is the time where we just, you know, do what Barstool does. We make some conversation, find a way to make it work. Who is your Twisted Metal guy? I was always a chalk pick.

I would go with the clown, the ice cream truck, who's actually in the show, he's being played by Samoa Joe, a wrestler who people still look at Glennie Balls. So first of all, his name is fucking Sweet Tooth. Put some respect on the guy's name. It's been since I was like four, I haven't played Twisted Metal.

That's the thing. Actually, I did buy a Twisted Metal for PS3 when I first got that. You were just a pup, so that's fair. I'll say that. I was Axl, and that was my dude. He was a bad motherfucker. Oh, Will Arnett is Sweet Tooth? What the fuck?

I think he's doing the voice, but Samoa Joe's the body. Oh, my God. He's a big wrestler- but Samoa Joe's the body. Oh my God. You know, a big like wrestler looking guy. That's wild. So you have Samoa Joe and then, you know, Joe Bluth are combining to make Sweet Tooth. Yeah. That's an absurd. Samoa Joe Bluth.

Yeah. Wow. That's good. And then the other one. So this was the other thing. I didn't realize they were making another Willy Wonka movie. Stop making Willy Wonka movies. And if you're going to make them,

make a Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator movie afterwards. I love Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I didn't even really like Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator book afterwards. But at this point, you have to go all the way in. Because listen, they already nailed it with the first one. Johnny Depp fucking bombed the second one. If you're going to make a third one, make it good. And you owe you owe me a charlie and the great glass elevator that's all i'm asking for as a diehard royal dolphin which i remember like uh i blogged i blogged about netflix getting the

rights for all this uh royal doll stuff and then i guess it like went re-viral and portnoy was all fired up he's a diehard fucking royal doll guy which i kind of love that might need to be zd's niche on one of these uh games that'd be pretty funny and he was trying to change our niche did you hear about that no he was saying he's like i don't know how this came into his mind it's like basically our calling card is our niche right that's the reason people tune in sometimes and he wants to go like billy madison or a movie or something that is no you got to go snacks or yeah just to get dave's reaction if we go anything else we're going to lose dave at some point he's just going to start making heads live on the stream instead of listening to us right so um i i it is you have to understand if you're doing snacks there are 8 million snacks in the world

or salty snacks or whatever it may be. And then like Brandon Walker has that thing you do. It's a 90-minute movie. You can memorize every 90 minutes of a movie. I do understand that side of it. So we're going to have to figure that out. Tournament's coming up. Tournament's coming up.

Hawkers, has it been revealed, your batch? So I think that this has been revealed at this point big cat said it on the stream last night we played the yak spoilers for the dozen if you don't want to be spoiled for our last dozen match don't listen to the rest of the pod we're almost done here we won our match in overtime jeff d low is retroactively taking that victory away and making it a loss we lost the crown retroactively because one of his questions was written incorrectly. What kind of fucking... Dozen rigged.

We lost the match days afterwards because apparently Las Vegas is closest to Salt Lake City and the Yaks said that. And he counted it as incorrect, but it actually was correct. So we never should have gone to overtime. Yaks should have just beat us. Was that the last question, though? No. See? It's like when we had the UConn question that he fucked up on.

The entire game changes when the score is wrong. Yeah. All right. I think we have the answer. You have to now become either the biggest Dune fan or the biggest Dune critic. Yeah. Become a hater. I'm going to vomit.

That sandworm looks like a butthole. Dune, more like. More like doomed at the box office. Yes, there we go. How do you like that, Lowe? How do you like that? How do you like that, Jeff D. Lowe? No, how do you like that, Jeff Lowe?

Take the D away. No, D do you like that, Jeff D. Lowe? No, how do you like that, Jeff Lowe? Oh! Take the D away. No, D, you don't have a D. Actually, that was Robbie saying that because I don't want ZD to get harder questions. And hey, Jeff D. Lowe is a great transition to the last thing that we were going to talk about on this podcast. It's been a great season of Succession.

And another thing where if you're not caught up on Succession, I do want to talk a on this podcast. It's been a great season of succession. And another thing where if you're not caught up on succession, I do want to talk a little spoilers here. So maybe you skip over this as well. I'll put all the timestamps on the YouTube so you could skip around the segments if you want to. What's our succession?

Our succession is called the Succession Circleback. We're going to circle back in succession here. I like that. Yeah. Who's it sponsored by? Do we have a sponsor for this segment? We do have a sponsor and it's c4 energy it's our favorite energy drink right here

c4 i've got both the auric snow cone that's my favorite but you've also got the c4 smart energy sparkling strawberry guava zero sugar in this stuff it tastes delicious so you don't have that energy drink taste generally there's a lot of off-brand energy drinks that they have almost like a battery acid type taste in your mouth these i could put down like sodas i absolutely love c4 energy and c4 energy loves the stuff that we love mainly the wwe they are the sponsor of wrestlemania wwe main event and they supercharge your performance to the ultimate level while you're watching that wrestling. With 300 milligrams of caffeine, C4 Ultimate Energy

will fuel you up with the energy you need to get hype, whether you're trying to pull an all-nighter or just trying to go out for a night out. And honestly, if you're trying to cover CinemaCon, you probably need this shit because, like I said, every 15 minutes I went on Twitter, there was another announcement that I had to make a TikTok about. But they got the brain berry.

They've got the clinically studied cognizant that helps you improve your focus. And if you want to grab that undisputed heavyweight championship, you go to 7-Eleven right now and you grab a can of C4, like we've said on the pod. Them being available at 7-Eleven is awesome. Grab a couple snacks. You grab your C4. You're ready for a night out. You're ready for an all-nighter. You're ready to binge watch all the John Wick movies if you you want to do that. There you go. And like,

you know, C4 is good because we had the NFL draft show, which is like five hours long and everyone had energy throughout the whole time. Cause we were drinking C4. It was absolutely perfect. That's right. And speaking of wrestling, I was on macro dosing this week. We talked all about wrestling, the history of the wwe when god wrestled vince mcmahon when vince mcmahon blew up in his limo all of these topics brought to you by c4 so go to 7-eleven or c4energy.com to purchase yours and all four flavors like i said my favorite is the arctic snow cone i would also recommend the cherry lime i love that cherry lime connection the arctic snow cone the arcticone, that marketing person deserves the biggest raise ever.

It's the best sound. It sounds so delicious. It can too. Come on. With the kind of blue-silver, black matte finish, looks great. Succession. It's been a great season. Great, great, great season.

I loved season one and two. Season three of Succession I thought was very good, like better than most other television on TV. But I got to be honest, I didn't think season three was quite up to season one and two in quality. I think we're right back with season four. The way they handled the giant thing that... Spoilers for Succession.

Spoilers, yeah. Let him have it. Logan's dead, motherfucker. Logan's dead. The way that they handled logan's death that was one of my favorite like and it's weird to call it my favorite because it was such a downer episode but one of my favorite episodes in the history of succession and one of my favorite unexpected twists in tv like they did that at the start of the episode pretty much and we just had to deal with the fallout the whole time. And then every episode since it feels like it just deals with one large conversation and there's a little offshoot here and there,

but they always keep my attention and I'm never bored with it. Are you with me on the same page with the season? Yeah. So I think season three was, I think a little off because I think it was like pandemic related kind of issues. Right. So you're,

you know, even when it wasn't so you know even when it wasn't you know the the beast of the pandemic you're dealing with traveling and just all the schedules and all this kind of stuff so i feel like that might have been the case succession is very and i talked about this i'm on barstool finance next week i talked about it with large and tyler succession very much is like financial, the financial bro version of entourage where it's like, Oh, how are we going to get out of this thing? And it's the same episode every single time, but it's fun.

You have your memes, you have your quotes, you have the characters or an entourage. Everyone's likable. Everyone's unlikable, but you kind of like them or cause it's not you or anyone, you know, thank God. And I also said this, I said, I don't really know what's going on with a lot of these terms, but I have fun watching the show. I have fun rooting for people.

And that's just how I feel about Succession. So I think the basement boys are perfect, very much looking from like a 30,000-foot view of everything right here. I said to you, like, I'm the exact same way. I'm smiling and nodding during the episode. I'm like, what great acting.

This is great TV. And then as soon as the episode is over, you go to the succession subreddit and you go, all right, what the fuck did I just watch? What happened there? Let's get someone to explain

the blackmail and the, you know, the stock terms and we're going up this percentage. What about the revenue? We got $40 more on the offer, baby. What the fuck does that mean? I have no goddamn clue,

but it's fun to talk about. I go on Twitter. I'll go on Reddit, and they explain everything to me. It's absolutely perfect. And it's like the writing, the acting. You said that episode when Logan died. Like, they did about as good a job as you could of, like, if someone in your life is sick or dying or dead,

and it's like you're going through the literal like stages of grief right in front of you it was incredible and the fact that my sweet connor it's during his wedding no less i know weddings in succession i mean it's like thrones it really hbo yeah it's a real problem connor's so good too we mentioned connor this season he's been so funny with his one percent thing his mikasa as yukasa turned and closed doors on them he's been great scars books uh the scars guard guy alexander i think it is scars guard was so good in the last episode just a real motherfucker who's like a wacko too he's a he's like a selling a brick of blood yeah yeah he kept like sending

it to her over and over again it's also it takes a lot for you to have a character that makes us like really root hard for roman yeah it's like fucking total creep who's like slime ball ish and everything and then we're like roman you better fucking tell this guy off because he's really a motherfucker like this is a great great great season i hope they stick the landing i have truly no idea who's gonna quote unquote end up on the throne in the end my gut says kendall it feels the most like kendall where maybe the ending of this show is like kendall becoming his father we're already seeing him become cutthroat to his siblings in the way that you know they're putting out the press release and whatever there's a huge part of me that would just love for that greg question mark to wind up being greg takes over the company greg has i think

always been the character that he is but we always were just like oh that's greg he's like a real dick he's like off-putting with a lot of the things and now that it's like we're in the end game now i feel like it's going to get even more cutthroat. And his and Tom's relationship has always been fascinating because Tom has always used Greg as his ladder. He uses Greg's face to prop himself up and get everywhere. So that whole dynamic is going to be very – And now he's kicking Tom to the side kind of. He's like realizing that's not where his money is.

He's like the quad squad now. The quad squad. I love – again. Oh, shoot. Let me see if i can find this did you see the thing i retweeted the other day where it was um someone tweeted out uh every scene of succession this was from at wapple house every scene is this kendall what's the play the vibe mark coppola tip fucking us around the cape of good hope cape of good hope and then shiv goes i mean sure if your nose is sewn onto the back

of your ball sack with a scolding look and then Roman raises eyebrows, looks like we're taking a long whiff of taint like, that is those guys, every episode, there's, you know, who's gonna take over, there's a fucking power play, it falls through, and then usually Logan would be telling them to fuck off from the throne

but now that he's dead, it is kind of like a race to you know and who's gonna have the money at the end i do think there's a chance where all the kids just get completely fucked over they don't get what they want and you know they're still gonna have money in some sort but they're not gonna have the fulfillment of it all and it's because let's be honest like logan was a horrible horrible father and he did not have his kids ready for this um at all who is your guy or girl do you have so i have taken the shiv wagon because at one point a few seasons ago everyone's like oh siobhan's done blah blah blah and they're all dancing on a grave and kind of like with brand

stark and kind of with my boy daniel jones i said i'm buying low on ships so i started the shiv wagon i don't know if she's being played by Madsen right now but I'm happy she it was rough two episodes ago she fell she got power played out by the two brothers it definitely doesn't say shiv it was ugly and I love that her and Tom insulting each other

kind of relit the spark in their marriage they are some fucking whack jobs they're fucked up your earlobes are like chewy or something. Yeah, what the fuck? I think I'm a Greg guy. I think if I would say anyone's my guy, it would have to be Greg. Like, the second would be Kendall.

But like, I'm not like a Kendall guy. Really? Kendall amuses me in a very unique way where it's the little things I will never stop laughing about the fact he named his kid Iverson it's such a rich New Yorker guy in the 2000s with Allen Iverson being the guy

it's like you named your kid and Allen Iverson is fucking awesome and I'm sure there's plenty of Iversons in this world it's just him naming his kid Iverson the L to the OG is one of the greatest seasons ever not like i still laugh about that i have to do i i wish i had done a rewatch before this season especially if i knew if i had known it was the last season earlier i would have probably done a rewatch but i didn't know i i've done that with sopranos i did it with the wire uh i did it

definitely with thrones i I just too late now. Um, I did a long video. I didn't even do a full rewatch. I did like a half an hour explanation of everything you need to remember. And with a show like this, like I truly needed it because like you said, every episode is just like a very similar conversation around who's going to

be the next successor for like three seasons for three fucking seasons long. Greg, I feel so Greg is, i feel pretty much a universal person he's almost like everyone kind of likes greg i feel like anyone who has a real appreciation for humor is a connor fan and i think i think i have a name for the connor fans the one percenters oh that's so good that's the Connor fans. The one percenters. Oh, that's so good. That's so good. We're the one percenters. Hashtag one percenters. That's the hashtag of this podcast for anyone that wants to tweet it out later.

We're tweeting out. You would have to, you'd have to spell out percenters. Yes. You'd have to spell out percenters. Exactly. Good percent symbol won't work in the hashtag. Yes. Let's see that Bernie Sanders will be a non-basement boy.

Cause he hates the 1%, but we're the one percenters. There'd're like a bunch of people from barstool started tweeting one percenters what the fuck's going on right now um roman roman is just such a nod i also i love the like um the corporate people i love carl i love frank i love jerry and especially now that the claws are coming out between them and they're ripping each other. Hugo. I love Hugo as well. And then, God. Hugo's got the skinniest neck.

I can't unsee it. It's so skinny, dude. I'm a guy with a skinny neck myself, but yeah. I saw that the other day and I was like, holy fuck, this guy. How does he swallow food? It must just go down like a cartoon character like a fucking flare going see the whole thing yeah i'm a skinny neck guy myself but every time i see him i'm like holy shit look at that pencil neck it's crazy when

jerry said on the plane was it i think it was jerry when she's like these europeans are soft we were raised by logan fucking roy and she's, and then Hugo says, we're snakes on a plane. I just love these. And they're all just absolutely awful people that you would hopefully never run into in your day-to-day life. So I had actually thought. You're watching them all fuck over each other. So it's like every time they fuck over someone, you're like, eh, I guess they were more awful. Yep, exactly.

We're in Game of Thrones. It was always like the good people were the ones getting fucked over and killed killed so it's kind of nice where it's like the bad people are eating each other live on the screen so uh yeah i mean the c4 succession circle back can't go wrong with that right c4 succession circle back go get your c4 today this was a great podcast this was very fun to go through all these news items recap all the trailers discuss all these random projects usually we're doing a whole podcast based on one subject we went all over the map today i had i had a blast uh i came in for the second cinema con next year maybe we should again we'll host it next year we'll sponsor it by barstool we'll be on stage doing this and i liked some of the cinema
