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 Barstool Sports. I am your host, Robbie Fox, along with my co-host, Clem, and we are back for another free swim, nerd news, movie news edition of the podcast this week. I had Jared on the podcast a little earlier this week, a little from the top rope with him, throwback with Karabas. We talked Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, CM Punk injury,

all that stuff. But now I'm back with Clem to talk nerd news, movie news, all that jazz. So great to hear The Rocket back on the network yet again. I love always hearing his takes to go along with your takes where you guys are kind of like me and you with the food takes, sometimes simpatico, you know head-to-head choking each other out so and the wrestling heat is real wrestling is as real as it gets so i found out surprisingly

i texted you actually how i found out i go wait do i have access to the royal rumble tonight because i paid for a stupid nfl playoff game you know a week earlier you're like oh buddy you have that because i know i have the old archives i've already watched like as much i watched i think the 1991 royal rumble at some point and you're like buddy you got it so it was nice to be able to tune into like a current live wrestling event and actually see what it looks like in 2024 pay-per-view style and not only that the klemp kids watched oh yeah did they enjoy it uh so sienna i happen to tune in during the women's royal rumble sienna was like oh shit i didn't realize there's this many like

women in wrestling so she was she was loving it she's always whenever she sees girls in a like sport or you know like field like video games or something and there's a lot of girls she just loves it that she feels like she could do that aj aj liked it had to go to bed though because it started later obviously and my wife said he was in bed screaming it's not fair i'm missing the royal rumble right now a word he had never heard in his life. It was the most important thing. So I think we have a fan. I never even ended up watching the rumble though.

Cause I kept asking him every morning, dude, you want to go watch the Royal rumble with me now? And he kept saying like, Oh, later dad, I have, you know,

YouTube, Among Us. Oh, you know, every single thing. The reason that traditional media is dying is this future generation is just going to watch whatever little segmented thing they love. So I did hear, however, kind of a, I think we got the old, oh, this is going to be awesome ending. And I think it kind of just.

It wasn't great. I liked the end, like the actual ending. I liked Cody Rhodes winning the Rumble. It's your boy. The Rumble itself didn't have any surprises from the attitude era no legends returning that's like one of the appeals of the rumble that's one of the things you invite people over to be like anything could happen didn't really have that anything can happen vibe but like you said me and jared do get a bit contentious on the podcast it took 45 seconds for us to get into our first argument literally 45 seconds into the episode, we're arguing.

So we hit the ground running. If you're a wrestling fan, I think it's worth checking out. It's on the pod feed. It's on Rumble. It's on YouTube, anywhere where you could find it. I feel like if it was like me and you hadn't done a show for a while, and then our first show together was like an old Avengers recap, it would just be Tony and Cap would just come up and say,

that motherfucker knew he killed his parents. He didn't say a thing. Moving on from that, though, I saw some tweets from you that said you caught up on True Detective finally. And I believe you said it's going to have to be a daytime show for you the rest of the season. Yep. Straight daytime watches. I personally love watching things as soon as they air.

I'm on old traditionals like that. You can hop on Twitter or whatever your social media is and kind of just get lost in the jokes, the memes. And you have to kind of search them out now. I think everyone is so segmented. Yeah, too goddamn creepy. We'll keep the spoiler free for people that haven't caught up or want to watch in the future. There is some creepy, wacky, weird-ass shit in this show. And I'm realizing I wasn't always this this way but as i get older whatever i watch before bed does kind of like

leak into my dreams and if i don't have a nightmare or a dream i may not remember it in the morning but i just have like a pit in my stomach based on what i watch i'm watching ozark now and i realize my sleeps have not been as sound because there is something. It's essentially – I consider it like Missouri Breaking Bad. It's the same kind of shit. You're leveling up every season against a different group of just fucked up people. It kind of just makes you feel bad about life. But this True Detective is almost in a whole other thing where it's like there's some weird shit going on, and it's just creeping me the hell out. But I like it. I do like it. some weird shit going on and it's just creeping me the hell out uh but i i like it i do like it what about you i i like it i i don't think it's like the best show

on tv i'm not so hooked every week but i'm hooked enough to come back every week and i'm enjoying it every week frankie barelli called it the worst show he's ever seen on television i saw captain cons and the replies jody foster forgot how to. That, I feel like we're watching a different show than them because it's not season one. We're not even near the season one level, but it's pretty enjoyable, I thought. Like, I like the horror vibes. I like the environment, the constant blackout in Alaska.

It's like a cool place for a show, a True Detective-style show, and it's a slow burn. You got to know what you're signing up for. First of all, I'm going to make a pledge here, at least from my end of the podcast. A pledge that this, the basement, is officially a Captain Collins take-free zone. I don't need to hear Captain Collins takes about anything.

I don't need to see him. All right, fair enough. He's banned, yeah. Takes you banned, yeah. He's banned. I don't need to hear his joke. Frankie Borelli, actually, that kind of is disappointing to me because I do hold Frankie's opinions in a,

I mean, higher consciousness. Collins isn't really saying much because I do hold Frankie's opinions. And I mean, higher consciousness doesn't really say much. I do hold them in some esteem, though. But whatever. Listen, when I said it was a daytime viewing, the replies I got, a lot of them were like, they understood what I was saying. It's like, it's a creepy ass show. A few were like, oh, I hate this season, this and that. So clearly not beloved. But I think it's actually like, it's all right.

It looks nice. And I feel like there is good acting in the show too so it's like i also feel like there were three episodes and now they haven't really done anything or taken any like wild swings or chances that i could see being like polarizing like maybe there's a little bit of a supernatural feel of it and we might be going supernatural with this, but like, I don't care. That's a true detective. You know, the first season didn't go in that direction,

but it could have. So I don't know the call it the worst show ever. I was like, Frankie Pirelli, what the fuck? Francis Pirelli. You have to go with his middle name. You know his middle name?

No, I don't. Francis. Eugene. Pirelli. Francis Eugene Pirelli. Your mouth. Get your mouth. Shut your mouth. That's the thing. Your mouth. Get your mouth.

Your mouth. That's the thing. Again, keep it spoiler free. The supernatural thing. Kind of in the first season, it plays a role. It then got all our heads really cook in the redditization of it all.

And then we ended up creating a better show in our heads or online. Then we actually got presented to us. But even in that finale, the season finale, there is like, oh, there's some weird supernatural shit going on. I feel like we're going to get the same twist here. This is my recommendation to people that, I mean, if you love it, you can do it.

And if you're kind of like on the fence or you like it, but you're not like in love with it, kind of like, it sounds like me and Robbie, I'm just going to go and go on Reddit now. And I will read the theories. I've been reading them. You've been reading them? I'm just going to go and go on Reddit now. And I will read the theories on True Detective. I've been reading them. You've been reading them?

I'm balls deep in the theories of True Detective season four with our guy Vibs. After the season's over, we might have to do a podcast with Vibs talking True Detective because both of us are like talking theories every day. We're talking, oh, this guy's father from this, and this could connect to this from season one and there's a lot of stuff that is interesting there's a lot of true stories that they might actually be like fictionalizing here with water supplies and tanking stuff and mines and stuff so uh we might have to get vibs on if people are interested in a like season recap

i think that'd be fun vips has the perfect like demeanor face just like aura for like a true detective conspiracy theorist you know what i mean i could just see him he could have the cork board out you know like pepe silvia and uh always sunny or in the morning he's like connecting dots between frozen limbs and some dude's trailer that was left behind our boy super producer bc was texting me like so have you caught up yet and i'm like yeah brandon's just looking at so because brandon was the og for this stuff with the redditization so i've been like i just rejoined it for the first time since whenever the first season was and i'm it's a good community it's active it's a good reddit you know that keeps it going so uh i will say that that i think will make the show better for me and if flops, it won't be like because we thought we were getting something special with True Detective.

Yeah. Man, this is going to be the start of something great because HBO is so good. Also, shout out to my boy, Kenny Powers, brother Dustin. I just love that he's in this season. He is. I don't know that actor. He I saw he's doing a commercial that's being played constantly during football season. He's in True Detective. I just like that dude. I think because I like the character so much and he's found in town. He just dealt with all Kenny's bullshit.

So I love that dude. I think he's awesome. I'm sure Captain Conn hates him though. Check out True Detective season four if you're interested. And then we've got some comic book nerd news here. The first of which is a quote from Matthew Vaughn, director from X-Men First Class, Kingsman. The new movie Argyle that he's promoting looks pretty good. He says, the few snippets that I know about Deadpool versus Wolverine or Wolverine versus Deadpool, I'm sure that argument between Ryan and Hugh is taking place as we speak, are unbelievable.

That's going to be the jolt. The Marvel Universe is about to have a jolt of them. And it's going to bring that body back to life. I think Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman are about to save the whole Marvel universe. And he's got no reason to say this. He's not attached to this movie in any way. I'm sure he's friends with Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, the way he's talking. Um, but he just says, I'm a genuine fan of the X-Men. All I want is for these movies to be as good as they should be.

So him saying that, kind of putting his name on it, kind of signing off on it, just from stuff he's heard, gives me hope. I said to you right away, yes, I get nervous when I hear stuff like this

because we heard like Quantumania is going to be the greatest multiversal war film to ever fucking hit cinemas it bigger than civil war bob as big of impact on you as civil war but that was from like a marvel producer this guy's not he's not working for marvel at least you know from what we know he might have a future project and maybe he's trying to like butter him up or something. But I think this is genuine and it's making me pretty excited. Like you said, you're ready to just buy into the hype here, right?

Yeah, I'm going in two feet. I see the quote and my brain triggers. This is a thing that instantly does it. Basically all internet rumors now, especially MCU rumors. It triggers like the safety and it's like dude don't do it don't fall into this trap and get yourself all i'm like jojo the little indian boy right tommy boy just getting all excited about stuff i was gonna like do that and then i'm like well what's the point it's the only mcu movie this year i'm just gonna be like well maybe it's good and then if it's

awesome i'll be like oh wow that was great and then i'm there's no more movies fuck it just fucking have fun. God knows how long we've been on this earth anymore. And let's just fucking hop in two feet. Like you said, this guy has skins on the wall. I don't know what producers do. I think they just give money to the movie. I have to ask Jeff D. Lowe.

I just have to sit down and be like, Jeff, what do producers do? What do directors do? I feel like executive producers, that's just you negotiate something just to get your name and maybe a couple bucks on the film. I have to do a whole thing. But, like, unnamed producer, that means nothing. I think I even wrote on the blog, I don't even know who the fuck this guy is, this Quantumania quote. Throw it out. This guy has not only does he have his name out there, he's directed X-Men movies.

He kind of, like, rebooted the x-men or whatever you want to call that did it great we love both love first class right spoiler oh i think one of the best x-men movies out there yeah yeah and it like kind of restarted that new universe so and if deadpool kind of does that and gets this let's be honest they've kind of bungled the multiversal saga in a lot of ways so far i'd say loki did it best right is that yeah yeah so uh just because of that i'm just gonna have hype get overhyped this is gonna be the greatest movie ever i'd love to see wolverine versus deadpool and then like one of them crosses it off and then puts deadpool versus wolverine yeah and you know wolverine crosses it off with his uh

claws that it breaks wolverine versusino. Just go back and forth. But, man, can you imagine? Let's start building a pipe right now, Bob. What X-Men are we going to see in it? And what universe are we going to get maybe some cartoon X-Men popping in? We have multiverses. We could go a million different ways. And Ryan Reynolds was referencing shit and giving winks and nods to the audience before he had the entire marvel

catalog at his disposal and like a multiversal saga that so there's just so many ways it can go he has all the action figures i'm excited what he's gonna see it's gonna be fucking awesome boom we're in the basement again boys don't forget taylor swift too she might be in this thing taylor swift's gonna be in it the biggest The biggest star of the universe. Going to make $2 billion. I swear to God. I can already see people are going to leave the theaters being like, I can't believe Taylor Swift was in that movie. She's taking attention away from Deadpool like she's taking away

from my football. My football. 44 seconds. Did you see that blog I wrote? 44 seconds she was on screen for the NFC Championship. In a three-hour game. People are fucking crazy. People are nuts, man. We live in the wildest world. But Deadpool is going to save the universe and the MCU, so all is good now.

Yeah, and we will get back to our X-Men rewatch, by the way. X-Men The Last Stand will be next for us. We'll definitely do that at some point soon because I want to get to the good movies too. You know, I think three is pretty underrated. But, like, I want to get to First class and days of future past and Logan and shit like that. I, I want to see three through a 2024 set of eyes because I remember when I

saw it, I was like, I liked it. It was all right. And I, this was the first time I ever met someone who was at work. He was like, Oh,

like that movie. And it was like a comic book guide. And I was like, Oh, I wasn't supposed to like that. So I want to know if I was just straight up fanboy that I, you know, everything through rose colored glasses or if like it wasn't so bad and it was just a product of like whatever the internet hate monger machine

was just getting started back then. Maybe we'll do that next week. You want to do X3 next week? All right, we're doing it. Put it on the calendar. X3 next week. I'm going to Vegas for the Super Bowl bowl so i have to figure out a time to watch it but that's fine we have the week with you know there's no football going on sunday so

maybe we'll just bang it out then one o'clock kickoff time you have to start watching x-men fighting football would have been going on or at least three o'clock if it's playoff schedule we're going with here and then we'll have it next week x3 let's get rolling because let's be honest i feel like every week we're gonna have just be doing these recap shows for the foreseeable future and so what's the first thing we get the boys might be the boys yeah i don't even know invincible's coming back in march right so we could talk about that a little bit but you know we're not gonna do like full episode breakdowns on only that the true detective uh it was crazy conspiracy theory from an actual basement show that's how this is talking as well um in that same matthew vaughn interview i think he was

asked about what character he would like to do if he went over into the dc universe and he said red sun was one of the most clever comics i'd ever read he said could you imagine remaking red sun with henry cavill that would be an interesting movie. Red Son, if you're not aware, is a Superman story from 2003. I think it was written by Mark Miller. And it focuses on Elseworlds' what-if story, where it's what if Superman landed in Soviet Russia instead of Kansas? So he starts working for Soviet Russia, straight up working for, like, Stalin. Like, Stalin's a character in the book. I think Lois Lane is married to Lex Luthor and she reveals to him that like Stalin's a bad guy.

And he's like, oh, shit, I didn't know Stalin's a bad guy. So, you know, it's a good Elseworlds story. Batman is also Russian in the movie. He wears a fucking like Russian hat over his cowl that looks so badass. It's awesome. They made a good animated version of it. Do I think they would ever bring Henry Cavill back as Superman? No,

just because I think the way everything went down, they don't want to muddy the waters and people's eyes. And the new guy kind of looks like Henry Cavill. It might confuse the shit out of people, but they are doing elseworlds stories. So I guess there's a chance and it is a great comic. So I don't know. It'd be interesting.

I'm looking right now at the Batman with the hat on just to see what he looks like. That's awesome. I love that. And it's a cartoon, it looks like. So it's a comic and it's in the cartoons.

Yeah, they did an animated version of it, which was pretty good. I got it. I'm going to have to watch it after we're done and just hear the accents. I want to hear the Russian accents on these. I gotta, like, I'm gonna have to watch it after we're done and just hear, like, the accents. I want to hear the Russian accents on these guys. Oh, man, that's incredible.

So this is dumb. I'm gonna say this. Alright, so there's two, I have two takes on this. One, the take of someone that really doesn't have that much knowledge of Henry Cavill's Batman, because I didn't watch a lot of the stuff he was in. Like, just let it die. Please, for the love of God, let it die, guys. If he was, like, the greatest die please for the love of god let it die guys if he was like the

greatest superman ever you could see it but just please because then it's like all right let's get zach snyder back here what else are we gonna restore yeah yeah you give them an inch they're gonna take a mile exactly as the guy that hasn't seen it though for the people that like love it go to town which i i i know when my when our kids are doing my mom's basement here uh you know 20 years or 30 years from now together on whatever the fuck computers we have then they'll be like henry cavill i'm hearing he's gonna be like the elderly superman in the dcu i know this is never going to go away so it's like whatever let them have their fun yeah and i honestly do i hope they get something they get their their back scratched some way along if he does a voice on a movie or a video game i hope i honestly hope that happens i just like

that is a pandora's box you do not want to open and i liked him as superman i really did but his time is over let's let's David Cornsweat in there. I'm excited for the new version. And speaking of Kryptonians, Millie Alcock, Rhaenyra Targaryen herself, has been officially cast as Supergirl. James Gunn said she was pretty much his first choice. He said he was watching House of the Dragon over a year ago and thought she might have the edge, grace, and authenticity that they needed for Kara Zor-El. Now, we don't know if she's going to be in Superman Legacy, but the casting timing kind of makes me think she will make a cameo there. And then they'll probably start shooting Supergirl Woman of Tomorrow,

which is based on the Woman of Tomorrow comic book, a very recent comic book, I think like 2022 maybe. But it's written by Tom King and it focuses on like a very dark origin for supergirl she was older when krypton exploded she was 14 and she was on a ship like overlooking the planet so she just watched everyone she knew and loved die over the course of like months like people were just dying and dying and dying she eventually goes to this random planet on the edge of the universe basically to celebrate her 21st birthday get away from some trauma and she meets an alien girl whose father was murdered and then she swears to help her get revenge so it's kind of like supergirl meets john wick it's also on a planet with a red sun not

son like the russian thing but and so her powers are mostly useless in this story um i'm sure she'll get her powers by the end of it and everything. And we'll get to see her do laser eyes and fly around and all that fun stuff. But I'm excited for it. This is who I think both of us wanted as Supergirl. The second we heard that she was up for the role. And I wrote in the blog, I said, we got to see her fight with her words in House of the Dragon and also fight with urges of incest and whatnot. But now we'll get to see her fight with her fists. I, I would, so I don't even remember what our take was last episode when we were, cause

it was her and the other girl. And I was like, I don't really know the other girl, which one looks more like Supergirl, blah, blah, blah. Millie Alcock. Oh man, I'm getting choked up here. Just think Millie Alcock. I'd like to welcome you to a fixture of the basement now it was a very short time in house of the dragon but i mean those are some of the

most fun shows i've ever done is those live recaps and obviously i don't unless we get a uh flashback or an error we probably won't be seeing her again uh but i'm happy she kind of like that's why even if you only have a few episodes i mean you're not going to turn down a game of thrones show but you get that fucking that tape out there you never know what's gonna happen and now james gunn casts you for fucking supergirl in a new universe man that is and i i was like i know i wrote something about millie alcock back in the day and my headline from uh a year ago jesus was only a year ago. Oh, my gosh. This is my point. Millie Alcock appearing to be on a different planet while accepting her Golden Globe for House of the Dragon is another reason why Rhaenyra Targaryen is the true queen of the Seven Kingdoms.

I remember that. Wait, like Golden Globes wasted, too. Like, she's another level. Like, you're used to, like, everyone feeling toasty in the Golden Gloasty the golden globes she's giggling her eyes are like rolling a little bit she's all snuggled up on someone i'm very happy she's gonna be in our life those are the kind of people you want in superhero movies people that are sure you know i'd like if they know the material but i also like if they are a little fun and just not a bunch of pretentious snobs who may have like a uh vagina candle if the cell is marketed out candle. Just hypothetically speaking.

Just random. Yeah. That's just a total random scenario. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Speaking of, by the way,

I've been still reading that Marvel book and the stuff about that first Iron Man movie. I'm still only out the first Iron Man movie. I'm like 80 or 90 pages in. It is awesome. Everything about it. The, something,

the rise and fall of the MCU, the reign of the MCU. Look it up. Get that book if you're interested in any behind-the-scenes stuff. I couldn't recommend it enough. More comic book news. Dakota Johnson doesn't really have any idea if Madame Web is going to be any good. This quote was unbelievable. She said, I've never really done a movie where you're on a blue screen and there's fake explosions going off

and someone just yells explosion and you have to act like there's an explosion. That to me was absolutely psychotic. I was like, I don't know if this is going to be good at all. I hope that I did an OK job. She said that to Variety just days after kind of making fun of Madam Web on SNL. She's making everyone think that check cashed. And she's like, all right, I'll be honest about the movie now. This looks like a piece of shit.

And from every indication, it just looks so bad the suits look so bad as we talked about the ocean spray leak the rumors about them wanting to bring andrew garfield in and then realizing they fucked the timeline so bad they couldn't that's a bad sign uncle ben getting with great power comes great responsibility from a fortune cookie. What are we talking about here? Everything I hear about this movie makes me less and less hopeful. And I stand by saying, I think this could be one of the biggest flops in comic book movie history. I don't know who the audience is. I don't know anyone that's interested in seeing this. And I'm friends with a lot of nerdy fucking people.

Everyone's like, yeah, yeah. We're not going to waste our time with Madam Wen. When they released the trailer for madam when and they have the one person on the planet of eight plus billion people that when she is in a trailer everyone is going to watch it yep and they just cindy sweeney just like i was like she really like come on even if you're just showing a clip of like her and euphoria be like oh yeah remember her this is what she looks like and then you just go to the rest of your story you would have gotten i i know i would i think i think kareem or someone blogged about it was like

sydney sweeney i guess was in there but like we want sydney sweeney once i saw that i was like this the people running this do not have control of the car and i have a take that i i was thinking of actually when I saw the Deadpool news come out of that story about it being the savior of the MCU. I'm going to call it now. And I'm trying to think of the fairest way to put it. Deadpool 3's audience Rotten Tomatoes score, which I think is a pretty good indicator for a good movie. I don't listen to the critics and stuff, especially for comic books will be higher than the three Sony Marvel movies combined of 2020, which is Adam Webb,

Venom three and Craven the Hunter. So I'm calling it now. We're going to, it's, it's on the books, February 2nd, 927 AM Eastern time. Groundhog day.

Groundhog day. Groundhog. So his, uhhog did not see his shadow. Spring is coming. And so is Deadpool for that ass. There we go. I love that. That's kind of the end of the comic book news this week. But we still have some nerdy movie news.

The first of which is a new trailer for Ghostbusters. I want to say Afterlife, but it's not Afterlife. It's Frozen Empire, I think. It's the sequel to Afterlife. And now we're going back to New York. Everything's freezing over. It's the second trailer we've got. We got a little more Bill Murray in this one. He had a nice line about, you know, tall, dark, and

horny, three o'clock, and it's got fucking horns. Very Bill Murray line. We got a Bustin' Makes Me Feel Good joke from Paul Rudd. That was great. And I think the thing everyone was most excited about from this trailer was seeing old Dickless back. William Atherton back as Walter Peck, still working that same government job. And I love it. I tweeted, I know people roll their eyes at the fan service nostalgia porn movies at this point.

I don't. I like the nostalgia movies still. I like the fun time at the movies type of like experience and that's what this looks like to me yeah wait listen they took ghostbusters different directions it did not work that way so let's just fuck once ivan reitman's son took over the franchise i say it's in the family so it's still technically the same franchise and at that point you might as well just do fan service as long as it's not like wedged in and you're just hammering it in i take this back to another one of my beloved movie franchise because

ghostbuster was my favorite movie as a kid number one by far bought aj uh state buff marshall man for christmas the one that i had as a kid just so that i had that back in my life because i love it that much die Die hard. Like they've kind of like, they've kind of just fucked up the cinematic universe of die hard. Cause it's like, oh, you're Lucy McClain and you meet his son and this and that.

And it's like, that just feels gross. Walter Peck in the ghostbuster cinematic universe would spend every waking hour trying to ruin those guys' lives. Cause he has no dick. He's a dickless motherfucker. And I was happy happy and i hate that guy more than anyone in the world but that guy played his role so good i actually have a take about this i believe that he is responsible for a lot of the uh what's the word like the ginger hatred that has come out oh yeah

it's because that guy played such a good role as such an asshole in the eighties and all of us grew up watching it and be like, fuck that guy. And I do think like, there's not a lot of redheaded people around. It's like a, a lower, like, like percentage wise,

there's like a minority. Right. And there's people just are like, ah, and they just associate gingers with Walter Peck. And I truly believe that's the case. I'm not saying people have red hair, don't have dicks.

I'm not saying that, but there's something in there that that's the case. I'm not saying people with red hair don't have dicks. I'm not saying that. But there's something in there that kind of clicks. I think that might be true because it's not right. Our redheaded brothers and sisters out there have an unfair – they talked about it on the dog walk the other day when they had the redheaded draft. So, I mean, Scott Tennerman, fuck that guy. He's kind of giving them like a new generation a bad name as well.

So I love seeing it. The Buster makes me feel a good line. do you think at one point someone was like should we not put this in or was like did people not think that that was gonna like just become i don't know what it is like surprised because the rest of the trailer has that family movie vibe but like ghostbusters has a it has a lot of jokes that aren't necessarily fit for a family movie, the original. And bringing those in would be great. I love, you know, a little bit of dark humor every now and then, a little bit of sex jokes in your Ghostbusters movie. There's a couple in the original.

Yeah, exactly. Venkom was a goddamn horndog. That was the whole thing with the blonde with the cards. And then obviously he's trying to sleep with Dana as she's levitating above the fact he he actually was like nope there's a demon in there i'm not gonna like it was actually i'm very proud of him he's a date sir yeah go the fuck home restraint and he did yes restraint he's a goddamn horn drug that's what makes ghostbusters so good is it's like a you know uh it's a meal you could like feed your kids or whatever but you can throw a little bit of spices on there it's a little spicy for the adults and for stuff that goes pretty much over

the kids' heads. And then you see it as your older, like, Oh shit, there was some stuff going on. That's why it holds up so well too. Probably, you know,

you look back and you pick up on things you didn't see the first time. I still, I watched it somewhat recently and I was like, man, still, still does the job. I'm excited. Oh,

and Slimer's back. We forgot to mention Slimer's back. That's a big part of the trailer that we didn't talk about. I saw the food there. I'm like, man, still does the job. I'm excited to see it. Oh, and Slimer's back. We forgot to mention Slimer's back. That's a big part of the trailer that we didn't talk about. I saw the food there. I'm like, oh, tell me that green little bastard's in there. And again, hammering you over the head with fan service. If I tell you after this movie, the series is done forever due to varying Hollywood circumstances, you'll be like, man, I'm happy we got those last few pangs in before it all ended. So I'm personally happy. I would have bet my life it was called

Afterlife because I forgot that was the last one. And I will say the first trailer did not look great. This one, they shoved all the Ghostbuster references in your face. So I appreciated it. This quote I thought was interesting from our boy George RR Martin while he was not writing the final Game of Thrones book he was doing an interview with some media site and he spoke out about toxic fans he said toxicity is growing it used to be fun talking about our favorite books and films having spirited debates with fans who saw things differently but it is no but it is no longer enough to say I didn't like this book or this film. And here's why. People would rather talk about the stuff they hate rather than the stuff they love and delight in dancing on the graves of anyone whose film has flopped. I thought this was interesting because he's kind of gotten through some toxic shit with the last season of Game of Thrones of people being like still like, what the fuck, George finished the book.

And he's like, it's a thousand pages. I don't know how to finish the book. I think he's right. Not finished the book. And he's like, it's a thousand pages. I don't know how to finish the book. I think he's right. I'm not in the basement. The basement boys and girls are the best. They're not toxic fans at all. We get called off being too nice half the time. I definitely think there was a change maybe around the last Jedi,

which I love, but the last Jedi was almost the France Ferdinand of this whole thing where it's like, that's when I remember it starting to get real bad and real toxic and it's not like if you didn't like the last jedi you're toxic there's a ton of people that i love that don't like the last jedi and have very valid reasons for it but then there's also definitely a side of the fandom that took that as the catalyst for like and here here's how Hollywood's ruining the next thing. So I thought that was interesting that George R.R. Martin is speaking out about it.

I don't know if it'll ever go back to being fun to talk about stuff like this again. Maybe we need a new social media platform. Maybe it's done on Twitter X and Instagram and it's too toxic there. I don't know what the answer is. I'm going to throw on my George R.R. Martin hat for this take here. You got it ready to go. Got it ready to go. I have my little dress on my George R. R. Martin hat for this take here. You got it ready to go. Got it ready to go. I have my little dress up bin right next.

I got my beard, which is too itchy. So I'm not going to throw that on right now. And my suspenders. George, buddy, welcome to the internet in 2024. Listen, I remember those days. And people talk about like the Twitter in 2013, 14 with where if i talk about twitter in 2013 14 with like rose colors i said no trust me that shit was awesome it was so much fun it was a lot of people who did not take themselves seriously it was just it was a fucking party man we were all just making

jokes having fun living life and something did change fundamentally along the way i like to think humanity changed for the worst personally it's not just an internet thing but buddy like trust me you look at my twitter usage from then to now and it is just taking it ever since i'd say 21 2021 i was like you know what am i just doing this is just poison i'm just putting it to my brain every day it is what it is i will say to your point last jedi definitely might have opened a big door for that. And the people were like, oh, shit, my Last Jedi takes are getting so much love because I'm panning a movie. I can then pan more stuff. However, ironically enough, George R.R. Martin is part of a case study where it's like, and it's not even his fault. It was the Benioff and Weiss we've gone through as many times.

The way Game of Thrones ended, right? Absolutely horrible. People will still to this day just be like, I can't believe they fucked that up. But at the same time, we had Endgamegame come out which was so beloved and awesome and we want to love stuff and we will i will still use thanos memes to this day i love that thing i actually uh just watched the portal scene it came to my head the other day i was like i gotta watch that just hit so fucking hard and it's like give us good stuff people are gonna love it give us bad stuff we're gonna hate it the hate might be loud and you're gonna remember the one bad comment over the 10 good ones we know that more than anybody working at barstool right

you'll have 100 streets and you have like one mean one you're just that sticks with you it's just the way it is uh but we're just just give us good stuff man house of the dragon was so much fun to cover because it was good the whole way. But yeah, man, the internet's like – people have said it before. Like everyone who was on Twitter back in the day when it was pretty carefree, let's just find the next Twitter and just kind of like go there before all the people with all their political takes and hard-o shit, they come over. We have to just find another spaceship to be on for a little while because that shit was magical.

And also, George, like you kind of fucked it up. Write the books and we'd be good. I don't know what to tell you, dude. I think the toxicity among fans is also going to have a bad effect in dissuading very creative directors and writers from wanting to hop into these franchises. Like I think some people might be like, I don't want to do a fucking Game of Thrones or Star Wars project. I want to take it in a new direction and that might not be welcome among the fans.

So I hope it's not. I hope some people will break through on that, but we'll see. It's going to be interesting to follow over the next like five, 10 years, the way franchises are going, the way we've been talking about it with, you know, DC, Marvel, Star Wars,

where are all these places going to be in 10 years? i'm with you on that too i think you get worried that either the creative person in charge the director or the writer or the studio will be like no instead of like throwing the bomb here let's just try for to get the first down you know you don't want them to be safe but like i think like i think the good people they'll know they're good they'll trust themselves and i'm not even i there's people who think the last jedi was great i personally did not we're not we're not gonna go into that bob that's me you and karab is talking about yeah not gonna do that uh but there i i truly believe like i'm hoping that like as much the studio doesn't fuck shit up along the way as everything else because i do think when things are

great they fucking hit so goddamn good like we're gonna we talked about the mcu i'm just like being put to sleep bored to tears during some of the shit we've had to deal with lately and i feel like those are just kind of running into the line. First down, second down is handing the ball off. What are we doing right now? And then I've got just five kind of quick hitter items that aren't necessarily nerd news,

but they're movie news that I thought was worth bringing up. The first of which there's a new guy, Richie movie that's coming out this year. I don't know if there's a release date on it yet. Cause the trailer just said coming soon. It's called the ministry of ungentlemanly warfare. It's got Henry Cavill, Alan Richson,

who is the, uh, Reacher guy, Henry Golding, Barstool guy. Uh, and it's a fictionalized version of operation postmaster. So it is a,

a real story, a world war two era story that they're telling here. But if you watch the trailer, you could tell it's very fictionalized. The first thing I said when I watched it, I said, this looks like Suicide Squad meets Inglourious Bastards. Another one bites the dust so well in the trailer. I love a good needle drop in a trailer like that. And I love Guy Ritchie comedy action movies. You put Henry Cavill in the lead and you tell me he's mowing down Nazis the entire movie.

I'm so there. I said this shot up my board of most anticipated movies of the year. Are you a Guy Ritchie guy? I don't think so. I don't know enough about his. Like, I don't know what films he dated Madonna, right? For a while. I don't know.

Did he have the kid? Did he have the kid with Madonna? Was that Guy Ritchie's kid? I don't know. I don't know if it's his kid. I'm pretty sure I – The Snatch Guy? Well, that, yeah, came out not the way I intended it.

Man, you're lucky we don't have, like, big-time producers who would just do, like – you know, we get sound drops at the – Yeah. You're a Snatch Guy. Unreal. You're a Snatch Guy unreal have you seen that movie though i so i watched like five minutes of it i've always heard good things that and right train spotting i haven't said those are two of like those is that a similar kind of the poster

gave me a similar vibes so i never saw either of them different yeah lock stock and two smoking barrels he did that as well. That's another one I haven't seen that I've always heard about. I'm just looking at his. The Gentleman was awesome. Recent one from him. Yeah, I definitely have not seen any of his stuff, but I've known the name. I've kind of like, I guess I've avoided Guy Ritchie movies mistakenly.

Not a snatch guy. Yeah, exactly. Not a snatch guy i will yeah exactly i'm not a snatch guy uh i i you sent me the trailer and i was like what is this all right let's see and then we're just mowing down nazis and machine guns like we're in the basement boys boom stamp of approval you give us a trailer with nazis get mowed down boom basement boy stamp of approval i'm always there you give me nazis getting killed i'm there for your movie it's the biggest cheat code movies can give where you're like, well,

they're Nazis. And I'm like, well, I need to see him die. Then like, it's the best in terms of just like people nowadays being like, I want to just make a movie where we kill a thousand Nazis. And they're like,

yep. A hundred million dollars. Here you go, guy, Richie. I'm trying to think like, that would be the easiest way. And if you're like,

how are we going to make this, this villain character good? Oh, just have them kill a bunch of Nazis. And that, think like that would be the easiest way and if they're like how are we gonna make this this villain character good oh just have him kill a bunch of nazis and that would be a man on his arm swastika it's like sign him up red skull yeah he's part of hydra now i'm looking at my uh computer here and i have the the gauntlet and i have magneto's helmet and i'm like i'm like oh yeah magneto nazi hater it's like bad guy. A lot of times with mutants versus men. Also hates Nazis also. Not so bad.

Yeah, that's why he's such a great villain because they're like, he hates Nazis. I get it. Brad Pitt will star in Quentin Tarantino's final film. Now, we don't know if he's actually the star. Everyone that reported this is like, he's starring in Quentin Tarantino's final film, he might not be the main character so it might be another situation like once upon a time in hollywood i just wanted to bring this up to say why does this have to be

tarantino's final film does anybody want to tell this guy you don't have to make 10 films there's not like a cap on how many movies you're allowed to make no he wants to have like 10 and 10 great movies retire while i'm still no just keep making movies dude i don't care if you make a mid tarantino movie i feel like you know if you made a movie half as good as a normal tarantino movie i would still be like this is awesome so i want him to fucking make movies like spielberg where it's like i don't think spielberg will ever stop now tarantino is someone i have uh you've heard of this guy and I've heard of him, and I like him. Now, this thing, I haven't seen every Tarantino movie.

That's the one thing that, like, I should have on a to-do list is just finish the ones that I have. What are the ones you've missed out on? Let's see. I didn't see A-Fleet. Jackie Brown? Oh, that's the only one I haven't seen. I wanted to see that didn't they have like a weird movie theater experience where it's like you go and or it's like an intermission

yeah yeah i was excited about that um jackie brown you've seen i saw jackie brown i like jackie brown um there was one more that i've seen pulp fiction dating back i've seen reservoir dogs Fiction dating back, I've seen Reservoir Dogs I love True Romance, which he wrote you know what, this is gonna be crazy I think I've only seen, I've never seen continuous, the entire Kill Bills from start to finish

so that I guess would be on there as well, and then there's definitely one more that I'm missing that is like a i think a big one so i saw django love django i also once upon a time in hollywood you mentioned that i didn't love it like i maybe i went into but people say if like if if you watch it again you'll like it more when you watch it on your 10th time it's the greatest cinematic i hate to be that guy but i do agree like the more you watch it, the better it gets.

It really is that kind of movie for me. And I truly, truly love that. And there's movies I think are like that that I've watched. I just don't think I can watch the same movie 10 times. I'm still catching up. I can't cheat for not watching the entire X-Men or Star Wars animated fucking shows and stuff like that. I can't just watch the same movie 10 different times so uh but it does everything we love about tarantino everything in

that man's brain and whatever like the core of it is things like i can only make 10 movies like that's that's just how it is so you do tv next can you just move to tv then make a tarantino television show like uh do let him do a season of Fargo? Can he write? Yeah. Yeah. Oh. Yeah.

I just finished the first season, by the way. Loved it. First season was amazing. Yeah. Oh. Billy Bob. Martin Freeman. Martin Freeman, yeah.

Bob Odenkirk. Key and Peele. Keep giving to me, Bob. Give me the fucking whole IMDb. They're great. Honestly, I've become very modeled in my Fargo scenes. I forgot what happened when. Colin Hanks was in it too.

Colin Hanks was awesome. Fargo is... I wanted to blog this the other day, but I couldn't think of how to do it with just a splashy headline. I think it's the best show. It was the best show that was currently on TV at that time, air splashy headline i think it's the best show it was the best show that was currently on tv at that time airing new episodes now it's obviously over and i think everyone if you if you like the movie definitely did you watch the movie uh yeah of course okay because like and then there's tie-ins with the movie then the seasons tie together a lot of times

that's another good uh reddit show so i'm very happy to hear i know our boy trent is a big fargo guy as well and again i didn't know that trent is like a dog and i mean this in the nicest way that came out of my mouth trent is a snatch guy and trent is like a dog uh like if he likes something like if he doesn't like something there's a problem right it's like if a dog says he's evil trent can sense bad things. And if Trent's a Fargo guy, like that's the biggest like compliment I can give a series. And then my final three stories, I really don't have much to add on them, but I thought they were worth bringing up on the basement. Beetlejuice 2, the title is Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. Very clever.

I love a punny title. And we're probably getting a Super Bowl trailer for it. So, you know, get excited for that. I love that that is the title. I didn't know that was the title until you sent this over and i think i've told you in the past um my wife's favorite movie is beetlejuice so yeah this is big news in the club household right now and then we've got 28 years later, Greenlit. This would be the third movie in the trilogy. They did 28 Days Later, Danny Boyle movie, Killian Murphy. Then 28 Weeks Later, and now they're skipping years.

And Kevin Smith said this, but I agree. Why are we skipping over 28 months later and then doing 28 years later when it's actually been 28 years since the first movie? Right now, it's been like 20 years since the first movie, they're doing 28 years later i'm down for it it's some of them the first one's one of the best zombie movies ever and i know people gave ken jack shit for saying that because it's like it's not technically zombies it's it's a fucking zombie movie it's like the last of us okay um the second one was okay i'm excited for a third one because danny boyle's back friend of the basement actually it has been a guest in the basement before one of the most absurd things ever. But yeah, I don't know why they're waiting for 28

years later. Why they're not waiting rather. So, when you told me this, I didn't realize. I knew the days. I knew the weeks. I didn't think that they skipped months. I was like, you know what? Title alone, I'm in. I'm out now. I'm out. You can't skip

months. You can't skip months you can't skip hey make months uh 10 minutes short on your streaming you have a contract with and then you make it a comic book you don't even have to make it like just we need months we need months months god damn it they they fucking bungled that so bad and listen i have no history with this franchise i do not do zombie movies or whatever you want to call non-zombie movies semantics bullshit of last of us is not a zombie movie by the way it's a fungus movie i you don't want to be as well i love that shit i'm gonna say this one has a lot more of the undead walking around and killing people right is that fair to say oh yeah so as someone that does not enjoy that kind of content,

I have no skin in the game, but I'm, I'm, I will. All right. I will not talk about this movie again, unless, unless they do a month,

unless they do a month first. There we go. And my final item next week, Mark Ruffalo, the incredible Hulk himself will receive a star on the Hollywood walk of fame. Now I know a big part of this is like like they keep the star in good condition and shit. But if you're going to have any star be smashed, it's got to be the Hulk smash.

Like, imagine a Mark Ruffalo star that looked like a crater on the fucking Hollywood Walk of Fame. I think they should make these a little more fun. That would be, when you, there's, there's two very different experiences. The Hollywood star that you see them take the picture in front of and all the glamor with everything. And then when you actually see the stars,

you're walking in and you, it smells like shit. Cause there's a homeless guy passed out 30 inches away, that kind of stuff. So like, yeah, let's have some fun with it. And honestly –

Make it green. Yes. If they started customizing the stars, that would be sweet. That would be so cool. And if someone actually does smash the star, I know we're going to put a video of it on the social accounts. I know I'm going to blog it, and it's going to be a moment. So I'm not telling people to go out and smash Mark Ruffalo star,

but I'm just saying, do it. That's an easy way to get a Marshall. Very easy way. Just make sure you record it. Horizontal preferably. So we can see everything. Or no vertical for YouTube shorts.

I think that's better for the algorithm now for TikTok. The world we live in. Yeah. The fucking algorithm. You know what Mark Ruffalo needs next is they need to make that Ben and Jerry's Hulk flavor. Make that a reality. How Ben and Jerry's hasn't done that to...

Hulk and Hunk of Burn and Fudge, right? I'm going to say... I'm going to just say I know that Ben and Jerry don't have as much of a hand in the company as they used to. I think they sold Unilever and it's like a big corporate thing. I'm going to say Mark's political views line up very much with the two guys from Vermont's political views. I think they sold Unilever and it's like a big corporate thing. I'm going to say Mark's political views line up very much with the two guys

from Vermont's political views. I'm shocked he hasn't. I would imagine at least one of them watched Endgame. Oh, probably. I mean, it was the biggest movie ever. I'm shocked they don't have a Hulk movie, a Hulk ice cream flavor out there.

So yeah, shout out Mark Ruffalo. Big W for the boys. Shout out Mark Ruffalo. I have to ask for the boys. Shout out Mark Ruffalo. I have to, I have to ask you this because you said that we're talking about the movies now. You saw the Many Saints of Newark. Is that what it's called? That's right. Yeah. It is called the Many Saints of Newark. Spoilers. We'll talk about spoilers. So if you haven't seen it or you don't. A couple of years old now. Yeah. It's the Sopranos prequel movie. Everyone told me as I was watching the Sopranos, like, enjoy it.

Don't even bother with the movie. They're like, don't watch the movie. It'll just hinder your enjoyment of the show. It's so bad. It's unwatchable. It almost made me want to watch it more. The more people said, like, you cannot even, like, don't even press play. I was like, well, now I got to see what it's like.

Me and my girlfriend are both curious. We watched it maybe two nights ago. Did I think it was offensively bad? For the most part? No, there were certain things in it where I was like, Syl was just, I said, not my Sylvia. The fact that he was, they fucked up the ages too. Syl was way older.

My girlfriend was like, I'm not believing that that's Syl. That's his dad. Just in my mind, that's his dad. Corrado, I thought was okay. Junior was all right. Livia, Vera Farmiga as Livia was awesome. Like she was the only person in the movie that didn't feel like they were just doing an impression of the character on the show. She was just like Livia, a young Livia.

She was great. But it was, i think the marketing failed it more than anything it was like supposed to be a young tony soprano movie and who made tony soprano and it was like you never once got to see dicky and tony work together i think he gives him speakers at one point also spoilers junior being the one to kill Dickie over nothing, over just he laughed at him when he fell. I hated that. But there was a story there that was definitely interesting and probably worth telling. Probably would have been better as a miniseries, though.

Because the Newark race riot stuff was cool with Leslie Odom Jr. I liked his character, and I liked the back and forth between him and Dickie, the little war. But they just never fleshed any of it out. It was like, they wanted to make the race riot Newark movie and had to force Soprano scenes in there because HBO was like, we got to make some money on this David Chase. So for me, more than anything, it was like a frustrating watch. Cause it was like, I saw a little bit of what could have been, and I think it could have been good, but they, they fumbled it for me i said the movie never had the makings of a varsity athlete that's a good review i like that i like

that no i mean i think you hit on it i i like like it was like perfect fan service like that now a couple moments yeah where i enjoyed some fan service yeah they were shoveling that that was more than just any of the ghostbusters stuff uh yeah the young tony scene where you see like a blonde next to him and he's like hey carmella all right all right i guess yeah all right i thought the junior stuff that junior twist would have had a lot more if like he was like that in the show where he was really and i mean he does kind of fuck over people from the back and all that stuff um i again i called it the olive garden of movies where if you have a nice sunday sauce a gravy as you would say in jersey you have that that's that's the sopranos and if

you just want something that's kind of like it and it makes you think of it that's what the many i didn't work is i didn't regret watching it afterwards it didn't hinder my enjoyment of the show i wasn't like i can't believe they fucking did that i was just like all right it wasn't great but it also like kept us entertained the whole runtime i wasn't bored at any point i liked that christopher was the narrator i know a lot of people don't like that but i thought the opening scene was actually like one of the coolest parts of the movie when they're zooming in on christopher's grave and he's talking from hell i was like this is kind of fucking metal. I kind of dug that.

I heard that they cut Edie out of the movie. I heard that they filmed a scene with Edie Falco crying over Tony's grave and they didn't air it, which I would love to see as a deleted scene one day, just to see Edie Falco back as Carmella 20 years afterwards. That, I'm shocked that we haven't seen it as a deleted scene. That would have been great. I had no idea that was the case. that i'm shocked that we haven't seen it as a deleted scene that would have been great i didn't i had no idea that was i guess it could confirm if you see that the year on tony's grave could confirm the finale or whatever like maybe they wanted to keep that ambiguous or something but yeah many saints of newark i think on my letterbox they give it two stars so i wasn't like this is

a zero percent it was a you know a 40 for me i think i said at the time i enjoyed it i had fun i don't know how i'd feel if i re-watched it you know a few years i wouldn't re-watch it yeah like i i don't think i'll ever go back to it and i'm shocked that david chase like the criticisms everyone had i feel like it's david chase's worst nightmare you know where it's like he ended on such a good note and then yeah yeah well i guess people didn't love the finale at the time, but whatever. We're going to get you into the wire, Bob. And trust me, they're never going to make a wire movie. I tell you that.

David Simon will kill himself before he allows a wire movie to be made. And everyone's so goddamn old now, probably. So, yeah. So, I guess Ball's scale is two out of five? Yeah. Two out of five. That's fair. Which, you know, it's not the worst score.

It's if you're a Sopranos fan, I do think it's worth watching. I disagree with the people that are like, it's not even worth watching. It's worth watching just to be like, I don't know. This is what David Chase thought. Dickie Moltisanti's life was like the guy who played Dickie was pretty good too. I thought he was John Berthinal was Johnny Soprano. I liked wasn't in the movie a ton, but some of the casting was all right. of it was like the paulie walnuts casting oh that was so bad when he showed up on screen he's like painting his nails in the first scene someone's like hey paulie what's going on

and my girlfriend's like oh it's paulie i was like no that's not paul that's got to be different paulie like i genuinely didn't believe it could have been him joey diaz was in the movie though i like joey diaz being him he made me giggle a couple of times. Kind of just makes me want, like, hearing you talk about this movie and then obviously The Sopranos makes me want to go back and, like, rewatch The Sopranos. Just for all the Pauly stuff. You should. All the side characters as much as Tony and everyone else involved. Everyone should.

Everyone should rewatch The Sopranos or watch it for the first time if they've never seen it. Because I finished it a couple of weeks ago and it's still on the forefront of my brain every day i'm thinking about this brown is how good that show was um thank you for tuning in this week on rumble youtube the podcast feed wherever you're watching or listening to this we appreciate you and come back next week for a recap and review of x3 the last stand an underrated movie my opinion. We'll see if that still holds true next week.
