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 back to My Mom's Basement presented by 3Chi and Barstool Sports. I am your host Robbie Fox, or am I, and this is my co-host Clem, or is it? And we're here to talk about the penultimate episode of Secret Invasion. We love penultimate episodes here on My Mom's Basement. We love talking about them. Whatever series it is, we consider this one of the biggest. This was a good episode of Secret Invasion. I liked it better than last week, even though maybe more happened last week. I like the more thought out episodes of Secret Inv invasion instead of the more action filled episodes so when you have the paranoia and the tension building i'm more in on the show then still this being the penultimate episode one left i don't think it's reached the height that we wanted it to reach it

hasn't reached that fever pitch yet where it has a lot of work to do in the finale if it's going to ever reach there do you agree with that Clem oh yeah I mean oh I'm just gonna say it now I think it's safe to say this is not the Marvel and or we can all come to agreement on that one uh but hey it was a nice dream while it lasted however like you said it was the penultimate and I have to think like this week versus last week, there were some parts I liked more last week, some more this week. And again, it's kind of like being underwater when you're listening to music where it's like if I was above water, it would be so much better.

It's still all right. I could still live with it. I don't know if that makes sense. But it's the penultimate, Bob. And for the people on YouTube, you know what I'm doing? What are you doing? Got to get into penultimate mode. Got to bring in the heavy hitters for this.

Oh, wow. Clem, for the people listening on the podcast feed, just put on an eyepatch. Just like Nick Fury at the end of this episode when he pulls it out of that little grave tomb, whatever you call it, coliseum. I don't know what you call those houses in the cemeteries. But when he pulls it out of that clem just did that i'll tell you having an eye patch is disorienting

my entire spatial awareness is fucked right how does nick fury like live let alone shoot you know perform combat god damn god bless him i guess if your fucking eye is like uh jelly because a cat scratched an alien cat scratched it. But I'm going to see how long I can do this on the pod. I'm telling you it's going to probably be about three more minutes because I can't even collect my thoughts right now. Nick Fury,

I am so much more impressed with everything. Nick Fury assembled the Avengers with one fucking eye and it's so much harder than I could have ever imagined. Oh my God. It's more impressive. Him living day to day with his eye patch is more impressive than assembling the group of heroes that saved the earth from thanos yeah if you've been listening to the podcast or watching it for a while you may remember i wore an eye patch for a little bit during our house of the dragon recaps and i swear i made my eyesight worse in that one eye just from a couple episodes

before my eyes making a trip to michael's just to get a frame and that's such an old fucking man the way of thinking everything's just amazon now you just get it shipped to the house i even got some uh some disney throwback uh portraits like you remember those posters they had at the magic kingdom when we went it had the old version of the rides i bought a bunch of them on etsy and i bought frames and i bought them through amazon i'm like man i feel like i'm cheating on michaels it's the one reason i go into that store little tangent here i fucking despise michaels i despise it so much it's like my wife's favorite place in the world the smell why the smell is awful and i'm not a crafts guy and

that 99 of the store is has no interest in me but that smell just gives me the willies i do not like it at all i'd rather i used to wear this eye patch the rest of my eye for the rest of my life than have to go into michaels ever again you used to you used to love michaels yeah like my mom was a big crafts mom she was big let's go get a craft and do it so she would take me to michael's i would pick out anything i want usually it would be like some kind of cool batman coloring book or some kind of cool batman thing i could paint it was always themed and then yeah so michael's has good memories for me wow also this is a kind of a funny story i think i had like most kids do when you're really little teddy bears like i have this one teddy bear that i loved i slept with from

when i was a baby i called it ted and then my mom and everyone in the family was like all right shit let's get him another one of these just in case he loses it so they take me to the store and they try to swap it out indiana jones style style. Check this out with a different teddy bear and just cute. Robbie Fox hugged the new teddy bear. And I said, a new one. Thank you. And they were like, oh, well, that was adorable. I guess we got to buy him the new one. So then I had new Ted and I had old Ted. That's what I called them new ted old ted then i got a third teddy bear which was the the old teddy bear but a new version of it so that one was new old ted so i had new ted old ted new old ted every night i slept with these three teddy bears one of them eventually got tatted the old ted eventually got tattered and worn down my mom took a trip to michael's bought new fabric and sewed me a new body for old ted but the night of i was probably like five four or five years old i put myself to sleep hysterically crying as she started to sew it and i said i can't watch the surgery and i ran to bed

and i put myself to sleep so that's the story of a new Ted, old dad and new old Ted on the podcast. New Ted, old Ted, new old. There's our hashtag for the week. Hashtag new old. That's the great.

And you know, everyone, like, I feel like parents do have these early kids have these stories. Cause it's like, that's something you cannot fuck up. Whether it's a teddy bear or I remember my aunt, we left a turtle behind.

We were on vacation. Turtle dies. Like the next day goes out buys a new one i never noticed a difference um it's just certain things you cannot um have your children lose or break or die or whatever it may be so shout out to the fucking astrology of old ted new ted new old ted wow yeah there's our tangent for the week i said before we went live. I don't know what the tangent will be. Michael's took us to new old Ted. There you go. All right.

Now we'll get into secret invasion. We open the episode with the president being rushed into the hospital. Ooh, I wonder if he's going to make it. I wonder if he's going to survive the whole show. Like, come on. They're literally putting billboards up in Times square like the new president of the mcu indiana jones i mean yeah there's there's no uh there's no real tension with that it's like eventually this guy's gonna fucking kick the butt we have to like set the odds of how he is he just

gonna die of his wounds in the hospital is roadie gonna kill him is someone else gonna um you know how does this fucking guy maybe he just like falls and it's something we don't even see coming i'm i'm kind of interested or does he just not get elected i guess that could be the other he doesn't seem like he's in a campaign trail right now though true he i think death is probably what's gonna happen here can it be whoever the villain is for the marvels we've been seeing they're ramping that oh and i'm like maybe this could end leading into that because the scrolls obviously came from captain marvel in the first place that's my mind goes to like the post-credit scene of this show is probably going to set up that movie i think that's a good way to get some cheap heat right like uh yeah if you're a new wrestler coming in they want to put over and

there's like the old wrestler star wrestler that already needs to take off six months for surgery it's like let's just have him roll over them. Killing the president, that gets you very high up on the Heatlet rankings, no matter what cinematic universe you're in. So I like that. I just keep watching that. Eyepatch is rising on your head.

This is AJ's eyepatch, by the way. So it's not exactly a daddy size. So yeah, it's gone. Was that from his pirate phase? Or is he still in the pirate phase i know he was for disney aj's a massive just dress up fan he has like a thousand different uh costumes he likes to you know he has like a giant's uniform blah blah blah so right before i'm alive i said oh fuck i gotta look see if we have an eyepatch and my wife's like i just saw it in his room like five

minutes ago boom there it was so what a life uh a parent has where you're like we can see if we have an eye patch and you're like i think we do i've been house of the dragon like 80 of the stuff i had was from him at some point yeah so uh idiot podcaster who likes to dress up i have plenty of costume changes ready for me same my girlfriend just rearranged our closets and she's like hey i just want to show you how i rearranged the closet so here's your flannels. Here's your long sleeves. Here's your costumes. I was like, thank you for letting me be a 25-year-old man with a costume closet. God bless Lady Fox, man.

God bless anyone that is dating or married to a Barstow employee who just like, oh, you have to like videotape me doing this absurd fucking thing. They don't even say like what or laugh. They just do it. They're like, this is my life. All right. Give me the camera portrait or horizontal yeah um scrolls are officially on the news that whole incident with the president ambush that's out there people have footage of it and then we cut to new scrollos and we get that guy pagan goes and criticizes gravic he kind of follows him in criticizes Gravik in front of everyone

for not killing Nick Fury when he had the chance. And Gravik is like, listen, the president is the target. Fury, whatever. We'll deal with him when we deal with him. He's like, no, you sent Varush.

You would have never done it. You're a bad leader, essentially. And then he claims that the Avengers DNA that he was sent to look for by gravic was not in the spot that he was told it was in front of everyone gravic kills pagan groot arms through him and everything i gotta say clem again and i'm not this guy i promise i'm not this guy i thought the cgi on this looked bad like it looked really weird and shaky there

was one quick scene in particular that i went back on and it was kind of going in and out of his arm i just saw they spent like 300 million fucking dollars on this show where did that money go was it all samuel l jackson's salary because if it was so be it i'm all for him getting the bag but it doesn't look like it went into special effects here at least when this when we see the scrolls they look good i assume most of that is uh prosthetics though and makeup yeah i i was wondering the same thing it feels like it's like always in like a dark spot and it does i can't really see what's going on and i just am like what the fuck but yeah it's probably a CGI thing, which again, I don't know much they're quote unquote

writing off at Disney Plus, but they completely, this show, they should just write off completely because 200 million for that kind of return, unless it's Samuel L. What the fuck are we doing here? And I hate seeing him using my sweet Groot's powers for evil every single time.

It's like Groot himself is putting his arm through it. And I have to say this, obviously I'm the villain guy of the podcast. This guy Gravik fucking stinks, man. I'm gonna say it. I'm gonna use the F word. He's a fraud. Gravik's a fucking fraud, man. I understand

you fucking become a dictator, you become the head of everyone, and then you just start killing anyone who disagrees with you. That's probably how the typical arc goes. I expect more out of my villains these days especially another 200 million dollar show whatever maybe he's the lead character of secret invasion which makes jose fucking lose his breath just talking about it or thinking about it i need more out of this guy graphic i think he i think he fucking stinks he's becoming a very he's like one dimensional they're trying to make him like two becoming a very, he's like one-dimensional.

They're trying to make him like two-dimensional or three-dimensional. He's very just lame. I am not a fan of him. Yeah. He's not great. It seems like a bit of a waste of the actor because you could tell the actor's got something in him. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, the scene later on in the episode when he turns into a Skrull was the first moment where I felt like threatened by him, weirdly.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Even though he has that shape-shifting ability, like I didn't really like sense him as a real, oh, we can't fuck with this guy until later on. But yeah, not the best villain, not super memorable. I think back to even the other Marvel shows that weren't necessarily like the best shows. Ethan Hawke in Moon Knight was awesome. He was really good. Even John Walker and Falcon and Winter Soldier was really good. He was just fucked up.

Like when he smashes that guy with the shield and gets it all bloody. Oh, yeah. This show has had probably bloodier moments, but nothing hit as hard as that. Seeing the shield with blood all over it. So it's just missing something it's not doing anything bad necessarily like the individual parts of the show if you were to say the cinematography pretty good the writing pretty good the acting very good the dialogue pretty good add them all up it just doesn't it doesn't doesn't reach what it should. It's hard to put words to.

And I think you'd be able to live with it. And listen, I know there's people who really, really like the show. That's awesome. I do think if it was maybe in a phase where there was a lot more highs, you could be like, all right, this is kind of just bridging us and going to be very important to the future but i think for people that are thirsty for more than just like guardians to be a massive smash hit especially looking for like a show to deliver for the first time since loki which i mean last time last year we were talking loki we're losing our fucking minds every week right so it's definitely been a little bit of a different experience i'll just leave it at that and and it's it's just yeah it's it's weird it's You said it feels like it might be important for the future.

I hope it is. But it feels like they could just never mention anything that ever happened on this show, and the MCU would move on fine. Like, Maria Hill's dead, and Rhodey was a Skrull, but if they wrap all that up by the end and Rhodey's back to normal person, they might never reference Maria Hill again. And Colby Smulders gets the uh gets the guest star credit every single episode because i'd be basically she's shot every episode

they just keep showing it's like i've watched maria hill die more than ben uncle ben at this point but uh i mean shit hope hopefully that like shout out to her agent hopefully she's keep keeps getting like extra paychecks just from technically being in every episode. Shout out, Robin Scherbatsky. So Gravik tells all of his followers that they're just nameless, faceless soldiers. And he sends them to Vara's house. Not a great strategy if you're looking for leadership and, you know, you want loyalty. Not great.

And then he calls. Go ahead. I feel like Dave has maybe called us nameless, faceless people at times. But... If Gravik needs to have the star painting, if Gravik has the star painting, then it would be alright.

And they kind of are faceless. That's literally their fucking trick. That's their magic trick. You can't call out the Skrulls. It's like, yeah, that's what we fucking do, dude. And that's why no one's gonna feel safe. Because we are faceless. It's our fucking strength, that's what we fucking do, dude. And that's why no one's gonna feel safe because we are faceless. It's our fucking strength. Don't shit on us, Gravik. You know what? I'm calling it. I think I know why

Gravik is such a dick. I bet when he was a kid, they called him Gravdick. Oh, Gravdick. Right? Couldn't you see that? They definitely called him Gravdick. Oh, look at old Gravdick over there. Yeah. Oh, why did this guy become a villain and, you know, kills humans and his own people is it because of you know the tragic habits of parents no no no it was being

teased being called gravdick which that would have been the hashtag for this episode until new old ted came out so he calls rava aka roadie Rava is the name of the scroll who is playing the role of Rhodey in this show. Tells him, keep the president alive, actually. Just told all the followers we're going to kill the president. But then tells Rava, keep the president alive. Reveal new scrolls to him. Tell him the Russians are working with the scrolls. Let's get leverage on Fury.

Fury doesn't want innocent scrolls to die. He also doesn't want World War III. Starting to get a little convoluted with the plan there, but I'm with it. I'm hanging in there. Rhodey arrives at the hospital. Fury pulls a gun on him right away. And Rhodey's like, dude, I'm going to give you a heads up. In 60 seconds, that footage of you killing Maria Hill is about to be on every new site in the country, in the world. So good luck with that. with that fury of course has to go on the run and then they cut to olivia coleman just shooting a scroll just like literally just a quick little

scene where olivia coleman gets to kill somebody and her involvement in this show has been great in terms of all of her scenes are awesome usually the most brutal scenes in the show she doesn't really have any effect on the plot seemingly like you could put anyone else in that role i think they just wanted olivia coleman to be able to be a badass who shoots people and i'm not mad at it i respect it i'm very happy with it and i'm gonna say this right now sonia is my favorite character in this show by a mile she might be my favorite character in the mcu right. I'm trying to think. Let's see. The Guardians are kind of in flux.

Obviously, my dog, Tony Stark, R.I.P. Who else is in Thanos? My big purple man, Titan, is gone. Who else is on there? I guess there's a couple Spider-Men that are high on my list. I'm just looking at the Avengers Assemble picture I have here. I think I'm going to say it. Song is my favorite character.

She is so fucking badass, dude. She just, she shoots first, asks questions last. She has like all the little lines or metaphors or whatever it may be. Not only that, again, I'm going to say this without thinking it through. Olivia Colman is my favorite actress on the planet right now. And I've seen her for maybe about 20 minutes on my screen without thinking it through. Olivia Colman is my favorite actress on the planet right now. And I've seen her for maybe about 20 minutes on my screen between Secret Invasion and The Bear. Those are the only two things I know her from.

She's not even in The Bear that long in the episode she's on, and she fucking crushes it. And every time she's on the screen here, it's the best, it's the highlight of the show. When you were saying, do you like this episode more than last episode? And if I said yes, it's because Olivia Colman was in this episode and not the last episode.

I fucking love her. Her scenes were great. She crushes. She's fucking awesome, man. Also, I was disappointed in Dave and KFC and their bear takes. Both of them hated it. Neither of them have watched season two. So it's like i can't i can't it was also set up to

fail in a way because i think when he said he was watching the bear i think everyone thought he was talking about season two and everyone was like oh my god wait till see episode six wait till episode six and then he watched episode six of season one which is a good episode but it's not like the episode of the series that everyone's talking about so he was set up to fail a little bit i also feel a little bit responsible for that i think i was the first one to recommend the bear to dave i said have you heard of the bear he said no and i said word for word i said it's a good show it's about this guy who's running it's a chef who runs his brother's

chicago beef shop he has to take over the family business and glenny balls said to me you really undersold it today if it's better than that come on and i said no no no that's how you got to sell shows today if you got to give them the bare minimum and you got to just let them figure it out on his own because if i would have hyped it up more i think i would have been included in that video oh fucking robbie fox told me it's the greatest you know i just left it at that i was like oh it's pretty good here's the general broad strokes plot glenny and glenny is an excitable guy he's not really gonna do as much i'll just say season one of the bear it was like like a high pitch good it was good right i liked it and i was excited for it to come back if you go on with high expectations you may not like it and it is a

chaotic show i talked to kfc about it when he was watching it and he's like i haven't watched season two i'm like well you have to get through one there are some times where it's like it's it hurts you to watch it season two it's it's different. There are still those moments. But then I think the second half of the season, it just hits another fucking, like, another level. Which I don't know if season three will even hit that. But it hurt when Dave did it. When Kevin did it, I fought with Kevin about The Sopranos and The Wire. And he hates both of those shows.

The man's lost. Like, there's clearly some shows we both love. We do the House of Dragons podcast together. I'm not gonna lose any sleep about kevin hating something that i like i'm just gonna every now and then kevin does turn into a scroll let's be honest wow could you imagine that if like we look back and it's like all the like the movie more fucked up is what if all the times i like kevin it was the scroll kevin that i liked oh man we've seen good scrolls if ben mendelsohn is you know his scroll it's like we like that guy kev sorry um so beto the scroll that came in i think it was episode one and amelia clark introduced to new scrollos he approaches gravic for pagan like on his behalf

and he's like what's up with that like he was just trying to voice his opinion blah blah blah and gravicana blows him off takes a phone call with roadie while he's on the phone scrolls attack him and i loved this scene they throw a bag over his head which i was like that ain't gonna work on a fucking scroll but they just hit him from all angles he turns into his scroll form and then you get to see him go super scrollrull. The effects here did look better, too. I'll give him that. Beats him up, completely demolishes each and every one of them, and then takes Beto out, throws him through the wall and shit. And in front of everyone slashes this fucking guy's throat red wedding style. When he did that, I was like, OK, that's what I wanted to see out of Gravick. I wanted to see him do that episode too like establish that dominance with the

Skrulls and establish that you can't trust this guy establish a little bit of that Tuco Salamanca-ness where it's like this guy's partners aren't even his partners they're not even safe from this guy so I liked this scene a lot I thought this scene was probably the best in the episode and I won't say the best in the episode Olivia Coleman

was really good yeah and it kind of just like stuns you at first. I didn't know what the bag over the head. I'm like, is that just really just to disorient him and maybe like suffocate him along the way? Or is that some sort of scroll thing that might stop scroll powers from coming up? So I didn't know what the bag on the head. It's like, yeah, that's their big weakness. That's their kryptonite.

Yeah, that's exactly. It's not the Ziploc. No. And let me tell you, i'm gonna i just had to have to talk with aj recently about avoiding plastic bags it's like this the one thing is apparently to like go over the stairs you have to talk about the plugs in the wall and then the plastic bag that's like the fucking uh skate buff marshman the innocent killer ball i was like dude he was like just startling put over something like you cannot do this he's like wow i was like kids

have died when you put it over there he's like what was their names dad i'm like oh god don't don't make me like come on let's google it come over here i'm out of the computer we have to look it up together buddy uh but that was cool watching uh watching gravix super super scroll those hoes was great to reference my boy soldier boy um that was good i like that you like that you like i threw that in there and you shit man did you you grew up with soldier boy's rise right like that. You like that? You like I threw that in there? And a you! Shit, man. You grew up with Soulja Boy's Rise, right? Like that was in the young, impressionable Robbie age.

That's all kids doing it at the talent show. Like it was that type of thing, like making YouTube videos of people doing the dance. I could never really do the dance. I'll be honest. I'm not a dancer. I'm like'll be honest i'm not a dancer i'm like uh you know gamora not a dancer but i was always into the soldier boy remix especially travis barker remixed that he just played drums over it yep i thought it was the coolest shit a lot a lot of people have talked about the way gen z acts and their you know what they like don't like what they do what they've

killed right along the way in terms of industries not a bit now people are pointing like the finger at soldier boy because he was like the one that basically brought him into this world musically and uh or you know the fact that the world has basically been shit for like 20 years now and then everyone after soldier boy just copied him they stole his bars line for line bar for bar oh he's great do you think we get soldier boy on the pod remember when he did the barstool tour a few years ago and he was on everything that was the soldier when he soldier boy walked into hq2 if you don't know the story if you're listening to this podcast soldier boy walked into hq2 right after that famous breakfast club interview might have been

the same day because he was wearing the exact same Gucci headband. And he was like, Soulja Boy in the house! That's how he introduced himself to the Barstool office. And then he was there to promote the Soulja Game system, the Soulja Game Boy or something, which was just a fraud game system that he got sued for or whatever.

It was so great. He had his lines too that he liked. He had to hit the Drake. I think he hit it with Kevin, hit it with the Breakfast Club, hit it with Hot 105, whatever. Great stuff. We need to get Drake on the pod to recap the finale next week. If anyone out there knows Drake or Soldier Boy and can tweet at Soldier Boy,

ask him to come on the pod with us. I would let Drake come on. I know he's on tour right now.

It has to happen. So, but in the meantime, we'll go see Yellow Card. We'll go see Drake. We'll go see Soulja Boy. Maybe Soul soldier boy maybe soldier boy's playing you go on game time get some soldier boy tickets yeah so fury goes to a secret hideout guy is there waiting for him they talk a little bit about the history of the secret hideout world war ii and stuff and then he says this line talos chose the path of struggle i don't know if your mind went to this but as samuel jackson is saying those words my mind goes to the path of the righteous man this was his one jewels moment yeah that was definitely we got our our jewels moment that

was definitely the jewels moment of the episode You say the path and I'm like, huh? Yeah. And Gaia says that Gravik took the DNA because he couldn't find the harvest. So the DNA that he has is actually just the backup DNA. She wants to go bury her dad. Talos Fury says he's going to Finland. So contact his wife. She'll be able to help with the burial. Then we see another great Olivia Coleman scene where she confronts a couple and she's like what's up scrolls right away she's like hello

scrolls they're like what what what she has the blueprints of the machine that they were working on their scientist she says laboratory in this fucked up way she's like laboratory laboratory laboratory um and the woman is like all right sorry you fucking caught us the man is like no no you you ain't betraying gravic not on my watch so he goes to hold her hostage and olivia coleman's like oh same as the men in our species pop pops him right in the face the absolute best dude and she's like yeah you know all they do is what are they like cause violence and gaslight that's what they say on podcasts or something like that that was such a fucking lie oh she's absolutely like all women do is eat hot chip and lie she hit the man version

of that it's she's like the um mcu version of uh the queen of thorns from game of thrones yeah i forgot who that with her uh the actress who the actress was awesome in that too i mean every time she's on screen she just steals every fucking scene she's in oh by the way uh another thrones person our boy our girl gaia all the time dad joke when she goes uh i'll put on a good face to fury when she's leaving it says to be same i was like oh that's a good one it's a little smile she's like i know that one is good i was holding that one in that's like that's every scrolls like go-to joke when they're saying it's talking to a human i like i like hit the end of my album like why the long face uh gaia breaks into the fury household for help listen i know vara is like

held up because she's about to be attacked. But I was like, damn, she fucking broke the door right away. We heard Vara loves that house. I was like, you could have slid a note under the door. Hey, I'm here for the burial or whatever. Rhodey tells the president that they got to bomb New Skrullos, which start World War III because you're bombing Russian territory, U.S., Russia. They don't like each other. Let's.s russia they don't like each other but let's let's be honest countries don't like each other uh and then the guy from black widow

shows up for a second on a private plane in such a subtle cameo i kind of appreciated how subtle it was because if you didn't see black widow you're like oh that's a new character it's not like a remember me because he had such a small role in that movie, too. But I feel like when we reviewed Black Widow, I think we said we would have liked to see more of this guy. I was very happy he was there. Yeah, it was cool to see. He's a connection that sometimes people can use when they're off the grid. I want to have this guy being the go to. Yeah, well, he's our vacuum store guy.

Yeah. And great. Great. Yeah. Great call. have this guy being the go-to yeah well he's our vacuum store guy yeah and breaking bad great yeah great call so i like that and and it was so quick like like i said it wasn't a huge deal but the fact that they gave him the call cool more of that in the mcu yeah you should have like 20 guys like that set up along through all your different series and you could just pull them in here and there and it's you know a little smirk and not even everyone's gonna get it right not ever like you said not everybody's gonna get it i still didn't get the fucking kid in um you have to be careful though where you put those people yeah you put someone no one remembers in the

funeral for the guy who just saved the world and that's gonna let it that took me out of endgame that fucking god damn everyone out of endgame we were all weeping really who's that fucking robert david jr like got up out of the water was like who the fuck is that guy yeah pepper potts is like hold on stop stop floating the heart down the river did is he who let him in and he's like remember the snow years ago no that was worse than the starbucks cup of the Starbucks Cup of Game of Thrones. That took me completely out of it. It does every time, too. Every time.

It was almost like, oh, are they going to set this kid up to be something in the future? But they haven't. So, no. I just, yeah. That's so strange. All of the Avengers and that one kid. Fucking weird. Weird choice.

Talos is given a, I wrote a Jedi slash Skrull funeral. They kind of, it was Jedi-like in the way they laid his body out and everything. So I had that, but I also had some serious Game of Thrones vibes. Khaleesi started talking in fucking tongues. Well, yeah. Like she fucking, you know uh targaryen shit to the coffee and fucking i made a note of that going up i said do you think she just slipped some targaryen in there i honestly if you if i close my eyes or just like you replace the heron i would

say that was a game of thrones scene not a secret invasion scene that's how i think amelia clark is like happy to do that and she's happy to be part of the marvel universe and everything i'm sure she is but like when she gets to that part of the script you think she's like jesus fucking christ with the klingon guys enough with the fake languages yep that's tough having them learn multiple fake languages cannot be a very fun thing and she's probably also like i gotta do fire like i don't want to be typecast as the fire girl like don't put me in everything with fire right now so uh but i guess that's a i um i guess that's how they bury the bodies in fucking scrolls yeah yeah and they put the ring the bombs ring which was nice and gaia and vara talk talks about how much she loves the house and

everything gaia eventually offends vara when she says totally out of pocket line she's like fury if you like you with your real face she's like excuse me and in her own fucking house right after she helped you bury the dad crazy line and then an ambush on the house immediately full-on attack uh from every angle so there you go uh i'm gonna say i don't know if i'm alone on this the girls becoming commandos all of a sudden felt weird it felt like i get that scrolls can be fighters and i and gaia in particular she's super powered yeah yeah and guy in particular she's also like been in the shit been in the war zone with i imagine all the scrolls and stuff like that and new scrolls in russia but it felt like i was watching like a bad 80s movie and the guys are coming in literally faceless they have like hoods over their faces and i'm like if you have to kill

a scroll i felt like they sent not even like the b team the c team the d team they sent like the foot soldiers from ninja turtles there like yeah like was gravik trying to be like listen you've been a good scroll for most of your life so we're not actually going to try to kill you because i'm going to spend these bums at you uh i don't know i just i didn't i didn't like it i'm not going to say it was leia chasing level of weird but no not that level not that level but you know what it felt like to me, I made a little, I probably have told this on the podcast before. I used to make little movies with my friends growing up, action movies with Nerf guns and stuff in the forest. And they were like Call of Duty cutscene inspired. But none of my friends would like want to show up for a full day of filming in the heat where I would want them to wear ski masks and stuff.

So it just wound up being me and in 10 different outfits that's kind of what these faceless soldiers reminded me of like it could have been three actors just like you keep make them change a couple times so it was it was old ted new ted and new old yes so fury gets through security at the airport with one of those masks from black widow another black widow reference this episode has referenced that movie more than the rest of the mcu has i don't know if you remembered that from the end when she walks up and i remember it so much and let me tell you between that and the pilot we were talking about like i feel like all the vegetables i've had to eat by watching all these goddamn you know subpar mcu products over the years i feel like it's paying off like we're

gonna get something in the next year or two from watching secret invasion be like well that was the six hours of my life that i put towards it plus the other six podcasting all of it uh it's all worth it in the end now for the two cameo, those things are so fucking cool though. Like I just wish they, Hey, they probably do exist for all I know, but I, it reminds me of mission impossible every time,

like the mission impossible masks and everything that they could 3d print. When they first did that with the Philip Seymour Hoffman one and three, my mind was blown. I thought that was like the coolest movie scene ever. But he makes it through, tells Olivia Coleman about the harvest and basically what this is and this was pretty cool this is a cool detail cool fold every avenger just about every avenger spilled blood at the battle of earth endgame some were sent to collect this dna

including gravik he was on the team that fury had to go collect that dna so he's looking for the dna including gravic he was on the team that fury had to go collect that dna so he's looking for the dna of every avenger that is cool to me because it seems to set up secret wars you're saying that the dna of all the all of these avengers is out there somewhere we find out later on it's in the fucking grave he shows olivia coleman he's he's got a grave he's like i got graves everywhere got these things set up all over the world she's like all right and she she has a good question she's like why haven't you called the superhero his answer shaky at best he basically says this time it's personal and it's like well what what does that mean this time it's personal so it's it is what it is but he grabs the the vial from inside

the grave the harvest he suits up he gets his batman suit up scene puts the eye patch on replaces the beanie puts his nice beanie on and there you go he also calls someone he says it's time let's finish this there's a lot of speculation online right now that did he call carol danvers did he call robin from dave who was in agents of shield did he call you know there's a a bunch of names being floated out there steve rogers on the moon i honestly think he just called gaia i hate to say i don't think they're setting up for a big reveal there i don't think it's aerospace engineer steve reed richards i think he just called guy i i think you're right i i didn't realize people were doing this i'm happy i'm not doing it and hey if it's someone awesome great

i'm not spending the next week on reddit trying to figure out who it may be remember the boba fett hearing the spurs i'm not gonna like which wound up being true which is crazy just fucking bananas um i'm not but i'm not doing it i'm gonna hey i'm just gonna figure it's guy anything else would be a bonus. At this point, Gaia is basically more deadly than everyone we just mentioned based on her fucking Call of Duty run there. But it was, I have to say, the idea of the Harvest did kind of get me excited because that's fucking a cool idea. Obviously, it brings back the Avengers. It brings back.

Good name, right? The Harvest. Great name. Sounds cool. I really dug the name fury putting all his stuff in different fucking like lockers was so annoying i'm like dude you tell me an eyepatch can't be in the same locker as the gun like i understand maybe their lockers this big they're huge it looks like the thing that you would have above your locker where you do the

little thing and it pops out like i understand like if you put the jacket in with the gun and the eyepatch like stuff can like you take it out and everything falls on the ground it's a disaster but yeah you have plenty of room for like one for there one for there so i guess when you're like storing it in those cemetery houses or whatever you could just be fun with it but like i'm telling you fury you got to do a better job like consolidate it was quality blue on it and that's what opened it too that was a cool thing and i also thought it was cool that he was in Finland I decided to pull up some fun facts about Finland You want to hear some fun facts about Finland?

Of course I do Finland fun facts 2020 listed as the happiest country in the world Oh wow We got to put that on our list Freedom, life expectancy, generosity, economic strength This is from nomadunveiled.com. Has more than 187,000 lakes.

74% of the country has forests. Listen to this one. October 13th is National Day of Failure, where people celebrate their mistakes and learn from them. Very interesting. Oh, that's nice. Helsinki has the cleanest air in the world. Very nice.

Thought you'd appreciate this. The heavy metal music scene is thriving there. Thriving, Bob. You should go to Finland for a week and see. We gotta go to Finland. Yeah, we gotta go to Finland. Basement boys go to Finland? That'd be fun.

That'd be the weirdest. People would be like, why are they going to Finland? The old barstool days, Dave might have somehow greenlit that, not really thinking. I don't think the pen people think they like to monitor their dollars and cents a little more importantly. And most children have two birthday celebrations, one with their family and the other with friends. Oh, that's nice. I kind of did that growing up, to be honest. Yeah, I guess if you have your school party or you know fam the family stuff

is kind of all right now let's this will be a little debate here i feel like the family is the main one dinner and the cake day of birthday and then you know the next weekend or whatever works is the friends kind of a thing and as you get older they really become separate where you could have your buddies who take you out or whatever and then your family's doing your family thing but the family's always the main event, right? I love the family one. Like,

cause I have so many cousins that I always got along with growing up. So that was like the fit, literally like a family reunion. I know that everyone in the family knows Wakanda toys that I asked for the Batman, the star Wars, the Ninja turtles, whatever it may be. And then the friends one,

I could almost give a shit less about. I was like, ah, whatever the friends from school are coming over. Yup. Cle friends one, I could almost give a shit less about. I was like, ah, whatever. The friends from school are coming over. Oh, Clem's power just went out. That's what happened there. I was like, he froze. Is he not listening to me?

What's going on here? His power went out. So he'll be back. Stay tuned. You're back. I'm back. Scroll me is gone. It was a very thought I was.

I thought Gravik had sent a bunch of faceless henchmen to take me down after I called him Gravdick, but everything is fine. You're just beginning like random blackouts for like five minutes during the day. Now, during like this weird heat wave, lightning storm. You know what I heard? That is. I heard it's the hype for Barbenheimer. I heard that they're putting up so many billboards all over the place that it's taking everyone's power out but yeah as of this recording thursday july 20th we're going

tomorrow with kfc we're going to see both and we'll uh we'll we'll maybe do a podcast on barbenheimer if people want it i can i've been looking so forward to oppenheimer basically since it was announced and when i found out what it was all about and then the IMAX 600 pound 10 mile fucking reel or whatever it is I love that so much uh and I just love I love internet moments or internet trends that are so fucking stupid that make no sense and the fact that there is a Barbenheimer trend I'm like you got to do it I would have liked part of me would have liked to have done Barbie first, then Oppenheimer, literally just because it's called Barbie. See, only reason why.

But I'll be as fresh as I could possibly be for Oppenheimer, which let's be honest, I think that's the movie we should all have our most energy for. I think that's the one that's going to stick with us the most. But at the same point, man, Barbie's getting good reviews too. Like they both sound like they're both good, decent fucking movies.

Honestly, I'm worried about the transition from one movie to the other. Cause we're cutting it real close with our runtimes, our showtimes. So I'm like ready to see like an entire theater migrate, just run to the next theater. Oh, how awesome would that be? If the entire Oppenheimer IMAX that we go to goes into the Barbie theater? That would be amazing. We're like, hold the movie. Don't play it yet.

The whole theater's in here. We're getting bombed. You're very concerned about this. So the Oppenheimer movie ends at, I think, 440, 740. But then you're kind of a trailer. But I told you, Barbie starts at 730, but then it's like, you also have to account for the trailers of Barbie, which I feel like there could be more, because I think

IMAX, they do kind of, like, take a few back for IMAX. I don't think they show as many trailers with the IMAX. I don't know if it's part of the expensive ticket you're buying or what. And we are pretty goddamn good seats for Oppenheimer too. We're kind of in the middle Barbie. We're a little more decided.

I'm like, I think we'll be, the girls want to see it. They can go closer to the middle. The boys will be near the end. I'm more concerned. This happened with me in end game, Bob. A lot of times the bathroom breaks, like I don't, I'm going to have to not drink anything. And then I don't know. I do have that Run P app. I downloaded that, which is still a thing apparently. So I'm going to be ready. But it's going to be an experience.

Oppenheimer was going to be an experience no matter what. Going and making it into Barbenheimer, it's going to be a fucking trip is what it's going to be. We're going to walk into the movies at like 4 p.m. And we're going to walk out at 10 p.m i think yeah with our entire world's change forever based on the advent of the atomic bomb and seeing uh barbie become real on the big street did you see that story i blogged it i have to publish it still uh margot robbie found out that like the number one google result for her her name is is Margot Robbie feet. And she thought it was absolutely delightful.

She was so happy with it, even though it's probably just a bunch of pervs that are getting off to her toes. I just, that's why I love Margot Robbie. There's so many reasons I love Margot Robbie. That is her in a nutshell, just straight Aussie.

Like, Oh, that's so cute. She's just the best. And it's not only because she's an absolute smoke show that like, I think anyone who watched her and Wolf of wall street will never be the same i think that made men man and listen if you're a nerd and listen people on this podcast watched her in the suicide squad yes the first one which you know you could say was gratuitous for moments but that first

harley quinn scene it's crazy crazy i'll go one step further bob i have been the same since the goddamn trailer of her when she breaks the glass and guns down that's the blog as well we have plenty of gifts so check it out i thought you were gonna say the first result was mid because all these stupid people calling her which you're not allowed in the basement if you call margot robbie mid let's put that out there right now you are not allowed to come down to the basement so anything less than great if you call margot robbie good out of the basement for life straight to jail all right this was the secret

invasion penultimate recap we went on a couple different tangents but this was a fun podcast and we'll be back next week to talk about the secret invasion finale and if you really want it let us know we'll talk about doing a Barbenheimer podcast, maybe with KFC since we're, we are going to the movies with him tomorrow. So let us know. Hashtag new old Ted this week. Shout out to new Ted,

old Ted and new old Ted. They're somewhere in storage or at my mom's or something still exists to this day. So yes, they're, they're fighting and kicking just like the scrolls.
