Hello and welcome to My Mom's Basement, presented by Barstool Sports. For Friday, March 29th, it is Robbie Fox, along with the Wayne to my Garth, Clem. Clem, how we doing? doing all right bob uh kids just started spring very come here hours ago so we are preparing for batting down the hatches i don't know what hatches are do you bat them down is is that like sealing the hatch and like a submarine kind of a thing you think that's i never knew exactly what that meant but it sounds like a submarine thing i always remember it from the dark knight rises trailer i think catwoman says that to Selena Kyle, I should say, says that to Bruce Wayne when they're at the gala.

She's like, you better batten down the hatches. Oh, yeah, so sounds cool, you know. There's a storm coming, Mr. Well. Always gets the juices flowing. I love that line. Yeah. How about you, Bob? How's everything going in the foxhole over there?

It's going all right. We started the week with a tough loss on that bracket busters thing we were telling you guys about you know there was 40 grand on the line it was down to texas a&m our team me big evan jack mack against just pat and joey texas a&m hit like a buzzer beater to tie the game send it to overtime it was looking like they had a chance and then they broke our hearts but you know since then i've been having a good week that's what we like to hear bob it's what we like to hear you know no way plus nyc employees but still you know still coasting all right so far yeah nothing nothing crazy you know but it's it's been pretty fun i one thing that i can talk about a little

you know what fuck it i'm gonna talk about i don't think they'll be mad about this it's in the basement bob let it let it out i'm going to wrestlemania officially with wwe 2k they're sending me brandon walker and nate dog to wrestlemania um it's gonna be really fun two nights it's not this upcoming weekend but next weekend and brandon walker and i are going to be apparently playing in a celebrity 2K tournament with the new wrestling game. So right after we record this podcast, I'm probably going to get in the lab and start practicing because, you know, I want to whoop Brandon's ass. Oh, that's awesome. I thought the I thought like Mincy was going to be like the mystery man that came out. I know they were doing with a chair.

I was like, you know, they do the egg bowl bet. Imagine he had like one egg left. He saved it. They were doing something with a chair. Or like, you know, they do the egg bowl bet. Imagine he had like one egg left. He saved it. Out of everyone in the company, as weird as it sounds, the person who I think lends himself to a titantron music video and song is meant to like, instead of, hello, ladies, it's sup, fellas. Oh, that'd be good pop punk should do the rest of it you know we should do the instrumental because that's a great

idea oh that's really friggin funny but yeah it'll be in philly so if you're gonna be there if you're gonna be in philly you know come down to i think it's wwe world is where the actual 2k tournament's gonna be we'll be hanging out there all weekend. Obviously WrestleMania itself will be there night one, night two. It's going to be a lot of fun. Hopefully we see Cody Rhodes finish the story, rub that in Karabas's face, that Roman reigns mark.

It'll be great. I'm really looking forward to it. This, this feels like one of the bigger WrestleMania is in a while, just cause the whole rock rock. And then it's like like everyone said, fuck the rock, and then the rock's gone heel, and it's getting extreme. I saw he even had like an Attitude Era essentially like

moment where that fight going on, it felt like it was back when I was like your age watching wrestling. Had a little blood, yeah. The rock has been amazing. Like heel rock, Hollywood rock, whatever you want to call them, is tremendous. He's calling himself the final boss now now which is a great nickname for this era and everything and yeah everything about it i mean it should feel bigger because it's wrestlemania 40 this is like you know it's a big year big number they're kind of bringing the numbers back i think vince

he did away with that for no reason i thought i always thought that was stupid i love like wrestlemania 23 you know it's easy to remember what the main event was um but yeah 40 is going to be huge praying it doesn't rain praying it's not too cold i did a couple wrestlemanias and met life that were fucking freezing i've done wrestlemania and tampa that got rain delayed so fingers crossed i can't believe they're still doing wrestlemania outdoors to be honest but fingers crossed we've seen the sun like three times it feels like in the last month so that's what i'm saying like it's gone you guys yeah maybe maybe i'm trying to think like the undertaker can't bring the sun out he can only do quite the opposite what wrestler could bring the sun out we don't really have a positive one kane cody rhodes any cane just to just keep doing the fucking light it up fires non-stop um we got some fun stuff to talk about this week a new episode of x-men 97 episode 3 a new episode

of invincible season 2 episode 7 and because we haven't done it in a really long time i said fuck it let's do a mailbag. So for the second half of the show, we will be answering your questions. I put out a call on Twitter earlier today, and we got a bunch of fun questions. So I'm excited to run down the lineup. We'll start with X-Men 97. Episode 3, we were excited about this. Obviously, if you listened to last week, you know we were pretty stoked about episodes 1 and 2. We were like, it's perfect. It's basically everything we wanted out of this show episode

three just continues along that pace i texted you i couldn't help myself like i try to hold back you know my thoughts so we save it for the podcast but i had to be like dude this show fucking slaps it's great every week and i know it's only two weeks but like dude it's so good i feel like we're watching the 90s x-men again yeah spoilers spoilers spoilers and for this and then invincible there will be spoilers so you can cut to the um mailbag if you have to catch up or just watch the shows not too long i'll put the time stamps below too if you want to skip for spoiler purposes but man it i so i i was younger i was young obviously when x-men the cartoon was out i feel like one day it just wasn't on and i was like

canceled like it wasn't like on twitter i read about it you have the people pissed off on reddit and whatever are they changed times i just want to be like what happened to x-men where did it go and i was just very confused by it didn't have a TV guide handy at the time, which was a legitimate magazine that they would give you where you would read where the TV shows when they were playing. And I feel like this show has shown up and it just has fucking delivered every single week. And I'm so goddamn happy after doing a goddamn podcast about Marvel projects that did not deliver for the last couple of years. Yeah. These fuckers are just just hitting like. And knock on wood you know it's only three i i do want to knock on wood because we said similar things about secret invasion early on but i don't want to

curse this either like it does seem like so far so good today is opening day as you record this there's a march 28th this will be released on March 28th when the Mets actually play because we got fucking rained out here because of the constant gray skies over the Northeast. But it's like when your team is just hitting, like, stand-up double after stand-up double, and you're like, and pretty soon we're going to get a fucking home run. This is going to be awesome.

That's what I feel like we're going with with Vexman. You know, this could be a cold takes exposed, which by, like, briefs, they briefs are like what the hell just don't pay but we have like this show has so much like history it's like just keep copying that template bring it to the current stage and like it seems like the people that are doing this actually know the x-men what a fucking concept what a crazy idea they had and uh i don't know man i am definitely biased to all this that's why i love recording this and hearing your opinion of it and it sounds like you and me are on the same page our boy large said he likes it but he also was a picture of rose i don't know if so i

think he just posted that picture yeah i think your large is just being horny i saw that tweet and my first instinct was like fuck yeah large is in And then I looked at the tweet and it's the rogue laying down with her ass in the shot. I'm like, ah, fucking large, classic large. But I seriously loved this episode. Probably my favorite of the three that we've gotten so far, mainly due to, again, spoiler, spoiler, spoilers. We got Mr. Sinister. Like he's in the actual episode for a lot of the episode, and he's fucking great. His design has always been one of the greatest.

You've always been a big advocate of him on this podcast. Give us not necessarily less Magneto, but you're like, we've done Magneto a ton. Magneto can be there, but give us Mr. Sinister. Seems like that's what this season of X-Men 97 is going to be based around. Again, I don't want to speak too soon. It's only episode three, but I would assume he is going to be based around. Again, I don't want to speak too soon. It's only episode three, but I would assume he's going to be the overarching villain for the whole season.

Cause I don't think they're going to have Magneto flip at least before like the finale. Yeah. He gets his little, uh, face run. Right. And it's,

yeah. We'll just talk in wrestling term this entire episode. It's WrestleMania season. Yeah. It's like, is this a thing? A dirty face where he has a face, but he has a little bit of grime on him. Cause you know, he's not a pure baby face, right? You would call him a tweener.

A tweener. Okay. That's like Stone Cold Steve Austin in the Attitude Era. He was kind of a tweener, but like, he's a baby face, but you know, he's cheating to win matches sometimes. Yeah. And you can tell Magneto's still like zinging them when he has to. He's probably just like the gambler. Want to smell my fingers? matches sometimes. Yeah, and you can tell Magneto's still, like, zinging them when he has to. He's probably just like,

to Gambit, like, want to smell my fingers, Gambit? I mean, Gambit, yeah. Gambit's a villain. He is a fucking heel to Gambit. Gambit's like, it's like, if I had two, if I had two bullets and a gun, and Mr. Sinister or Magneto, I'd shoot Magneto twice. That's kind of how we would go about it. But Mr. Sinister, I'm happy he is the villain and this guy is gonna

be a fucking problem i mean he was fucking everyone up right off the jump every single character he's just playing in their heads to like you get in the x mansion and you're just fucking now granted this is supposed to be like seasons into the series at this point if you watch from day one but nonetheless like when it takes a little while until you know the bat cave gets infiltrated right it's like we have fucking we have a problem we have everyone just freaking out and it's nice to see a villain just kind of like up to this level right off the jump a goddamn problem and it just gets me more excited for the potential movie version of mr sinister down the road whenever they do that dude he's

snatching babies episode three he's taking babies like i was watching this right before i left the office like this evening watching it on my computer prepping for the podcast writing my little notes and nate walked past and i just couldn't help myself i was like they just fucking gave this baby a genetic disease it's fucking metal and he was like what i was like don't worry about it x-men 97 check it out it's just like one of those shows where everything they do i'm like i can't fucking believe they did that and then even like the bishop stuff let's kind of get into it because i have like kind of sequenced notes here he i just love like place the baby in like water i'm like you can't put babies in water that's the first thing they teach you at baby school at parent school and it's like nope we're doing this we're giving him baby aids he's just gonna sit in a tub of green goo that that

hey you do you want to know what the word sinister is in the dictionary bob let me give you the definition of give me the definition this is an educational podcast bad first thing oh shit i'm glad we looked that up followed by especially evil or leading to evil threatening evil harm or danger ominous i mean mr bad is this guy dude i'm telling you that might be the next my mom's basement merch drop is just sinister dash bad that's a metal shirt um that is funny my note for that part where he puts him in the fucking green goo i wrote oh my god he put nathan in a lazarus bacta tank oh it's a mix between the bacta tank and the lazarus pit from batman they kind of morphed them together um let's go to the beginning. They open the episode with

the mystery of last week. Who is the real Jean Grey? It's again, wrestling terms. It's like we got fake Diesel and fake Razor. We got to figure out who the right one is or fake Undertaker, even a SummerSlam match up for you. That was a classic. Yes, definitely classic. I remember

being just completely like flummoxed. The word we're going to look up. What are the words flummoxed. The word, we're going to look up the word flummox. Look it up, Clem. Let's look it up. Look it up. This is an educational show. People are learning something. You can't say you didn't learn something listening to this podcast.

Bewildered or perplexed. Yes, that's what I was when I saw two Undertakers sitting in the same ring. And wrestling is, this is perfect for a perfect comp because this, I'm realizing, I don't remember this is the case with the old X-Men series. I think it was though. It's honestly just a soap opera for dudes.

Soap opera for nerds in this case where the X-Men wrestling is a soap opera for dudes. Like, oh, there's two people. One of them has amnesia. They don't know which one's real. My wife used to watch, I think it was Days of Our Lives. And I'd be on my computer. She'd watch.

I'm like, what is this nonsense you're watching? And it kind of is the same shit. But ours shoot fucking lightning out of their hands. That's the only difference. And I love it. Bad ass. Dudes say hell yeah when they see it. If she was like, oh, this guy's the bad guy.

His name is Dr. Sinister. I'd be like, that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. We have Mr. Sinister. But it's good. Everyone's haunted by their worst nightmare due to Mr. Sinister, which is a very Nightmare on Elm Street kind of sequence. It's literally everyone. And it's like bad nightmares for these people.

He puts them in hell. And the X-Men theme remix that's playing while they're in hell fucking metal you know what else is metal cyclops charging bishop to kill demons in hell and he's fucking lighting them out of the sky that was awesome when mr sinister first appears and he's talking to like gene or is it gene and he's like oh you know they call me sinister you can call me father that's like his first line of the whole fucking show i was like oh shit that was good and yeah we do confirm that fake gene is madeline prior the goblin queen who we talked about a little bit last week in the comics very similar mr sinister makes her to infiltrate the x-men specifically scott and gene's relationship you know what i wish the goblin queen

said one of the greatest lines from another voluptuous redhead i'm not bad i'm just drawn that way jessica roger i said the large too when he sent me the horny picture of rogue i go just wait till you meet the goblin queen pal i was like good lord yeah people were saying that they like toned it down because rogue i guess isn't as you know curvy as she used to be but no i i don't think they toned it down i think they were like no rogue just is drawn a little differently yeah and listen you gotta throw out like emma frost you can't you can't saddle down emma frost emma frost has to fucking be popping those things to be the fucking whole uh essence of emma frost i guess you can't not just again i'm realizing why i love this show is like a guy who is just you know starting the hormones racing through his body and my mom's like why is the door

locked as you're watching you know morning cartoons on saturday don't worry about it i'm watching the x-men right now superheroes don't worry about it yeah i don't know if i said this last week it's something i never thought i would say to be honest but x-men 97 is doing it to me i think morph is one of my favorite characters so in i don't i think it's the first episode of the original. He dies, right? He does, yeah. And then Mr. Sinister comes back, Mr. Sinister brings him back, and he's completely fucked by it, like, mentally.

And you can tell he has, like, you know, they touch on that here. I love the way they reference it, because you don't need to know, but if you do know, it's a nice nod. Yep, 100%. I remember when he died in the first episode. Man, I'm fucking pissed. I was really looking forward to having a shapeshifter on the team here because I don't remember more from the comic books. At least it wasn't the ones I read. So I was so thrilled when he was there,

and I was so devastated when he died. And this Morph, he's a fucking – he's like a dude. He's awesome. And I think – I don't know if we touched on it last week, but the fact he shows up with Wolverine's favorite beer, his favorite chips, and he's a fucking he's like a dude he's awesome yeah and i think i don't know if we touched on it last week the fact he shows up with wolverine's favorite beer his like favorite chips and he's like hey i'm gonna turn this over to the fucking brawl a little bit all-time wingman all-time wingman i even like his normal like morph gray form like he's just cool looking to me something about morph these he's becoming my favorite x-men and in the 97 series again i never thought i would say that about more someone i don't really know much about right now even even

the name it just like the morph works and it should be such a weird gross name to say but it it fucking works i'm i'm with you bob i think i would imagine a lot of people would agree with that too you mentioned the cyclops like charging up bishop then the previous week we had gambit and wolverine charging up the claws like i'm like how many power-ups can we do do they have like you know they have all the x-men and they're like cross-referencing them to how they because they got to keep this going not every episode but we have to keep seeing what we can do here because that shit does make me nerd out every single time. It's awesome. It reminds me of like the Incredibles showed how you could use powers in teamwork.

So well, you know, like the parachute and like shit like that, that they do together, seeing the actual teamwork that it's a subtle little thing that we're just like, Oh, that was fucking cool.

But it does build the fact that like these guys have chemistry together. They've worked together. They've gone to battle together. They've gone to war together. As Jean Grey obviously references, she's like, I've gone to fucking war with you guys. She snatches the baby from Scott. She's pissed about it. In that moment when they're all kind of skeptical of like, listen, we appreciate you, but we don't know if you're a clone or not.

Your age isn't matching up or whatever. She snatches the baby, walks out of the room. I was shocked. Nobody was like, don't give her that baby. we don't know if that's the real gene like let's hold off on the holding the baby for now but i guess it's hard to do to a new mother and it's also like she it's like listen i'm the one who had the baby bump this whole time other team is just some skinny little mini coming in here she doesn't make sense i didn't see do you want to see my vagina this baby came out of me Rogue took this goddamn baby out of me.

Rogue turned herself into a doctor. I had a fucking woman who could suck the life force out of me, delivering my baby, who she could have also sucked the life force out. So, like, you don't fuck with a mama bear and her cub, especially if that mama bear has, like, psychic abilities that can completely just cripple you. So,

that whole, the whole kid thing too, where it's like you have to give it up and you're like this is some brutal shit to be dealing with during a cartoon yeah and i feel like the show knows its audience like there's a lot of kid shows that throw in subtle nods for adults this almost feels like an adult cartoon that throws in subtle nods for kids it almost feels swapped like there was the one line where wolverine's like oh like cartoon that throws in subtle nods for kids. It almost feels swapped. There was the one line where Wolverine's like, oh, his balls are in his stomach. He didn't say balls, but it was

something along those cojones are in his stomach. That was also brutal. When they're checking the times, they're like, geez, your girlfriend has a lot of training sessions with the new boss. Oh, it's like, oh, fuck. He's like, I gotta go talk to her. Dude, I'm like, is Morph fucking with him now? I thought Morph was fucking with him because he's like, keep swiping. I'm i'm like is more fucking with him now i thought more

was fucking with him because he's like keep swiping i'm like this is i don't want to see this anymore this is that was really funny like that's a good prank you play on him it's fucking awful legitimate mind fuck stuff but yeah that that wasn't cool even and mr sinister when he had like his little game he played with gambit was having their skins literally like morph into each other i'm like yeah that's a real fucked up way i'd rather just see them banged and seeing them like she and she was like oh he's so much better than you and it's in the rogue voice which makes it even more like sexy it's not cool man yeah it's bad mr bad so gotta point this out impressive rogue walks a fine line getting into miss minutes territory with the voice but she doesn't you know like i there's

a distinction where miss minutes it's like sus bitch rogue it's like one of the one of our own yeah it is kind of it is kind of funny how i threw miss minutes under the sus bus the first minute i met her and roger, no, she'll be fine. She's banging that needle. Don't worry about it. No, no, she's good. She's good. I have definitely.

It's the only person she could touch. Feel bad for her. Yeah, exactly. The only difference is, like, apparently, I forgot this now. Rogue had that cake back in the day, so I've completely been blind. And Miss Minutes, she didn't have anything, which is why she was like, you want me on this mannequin? She's kind of a 2D fucking object here.

By the way. Very much 3D. Is that rogue picture real from back in the day? Do you think that's really from the cartoon or do you think someone redrew it? No, I think it's real. I always figured it was fake. You think it's real? I think it may be like doctored to make it look like that.

I wouldn't be surprised. Man, it was the 90s. Think about the shit you saw in wrestling. Think about all that kind of stuff. It's the Mr. Sinister Rogue picture for the people that didn't see it. I'm going to say it's real. I'm going to say it's real. I want to believe it's real.

I think it's real. Pretty sure it's real. Yeah, I think it's real from what I can see do you see this meme over here I'm going to throw it up for the people watching on video here let's see let's pick that up we're going to share it on the screen right now and for the people watching at home

it's a very simple thing and it just says apocalypse is here to destroy that ass. That ass. Apocalypse is here to destroy that ass. That makes me want to go full Al Pacino and heat. Great ass! I love also a subtle little detail. If you look real close, you don't have to look that close.

There's just like this little filmy filter over the whole show. I don't know what it is. I'm calling it the nostalgia filter. That should be on every fucking cartoon. It just brings you like, it looks like an old cartoon. It looks like it's from the 90s, even though the animation's improved. They lay that over it. Oh, it gives you a warm feeling. It's like it's from the 90s, even though the animation's improved. They lay that over it. Oh, it gives you a warm feeling.

It's like a warm blanket. The mouths don't match up either. If you know, you watch this. It's animated like it was in the 90s. Yes, you watch Invincible and everything is like legitimate, you know, word for word, beat for beat. We're here. It's like it was in the 90s. And again, like I'm 100% fine with that.

I don't need everything to be fucking. There was even video games there's a point where video games it's like we have to get better cleaner nicer and it has to be realistic and then at some point madden just stopped being fun because of that yeah and it's like no a lot of video games yeah it's fun as fuck as it is right now the most fun i probably have had on my playstation 5 which is like playing the old there there's like a ninja turtles they remade kind of like a ninja turtles arcade game yeah and it's the old graphic shredder's revenge is it revenge yes it was i think um i don't know if it was free on there if you have playstation plus or i bought it for like a couple bucks and i just had a blast i'm like this is fun this is just a very fun thing i can't put the controller

down and x-men's kind of the same way. It doesn't have the sharp edges as some of the other shit, but fuck if I'm not having a goddamn blast. And what I realized on Tuesday night that we were getting a fresh X-Men, oh, my God. Oh, my God. It's a legitimate event now. Marvel, would you say this is the first?

No, it's not. I was going to say first Marvel event in the last couple years for TV. Loki was like, oh, fuck. Loki was big. Yeah. WandaVision was huge, even though that was at this point a couple of years ago. Yeah, this is huge, though. I saw even the numbers for the original series are up 500 percent, over 500 percent. People are going back and watching it. Yeah. Which is awesome. And it's a clear indicator that like the x-men are the future of marvel and hopefully fantastic four follows suit hopefully you know that's as well

received as this is this is such and i don't think he's in trouble like if it's an nfl coach i don't think he was on the hot seat but this is such a bailout card for feige where it's like dude you're gonna have to navigate these next couple of years with the movies, the Avengers stuff, yada yada, you know, figure out the Kang replacement. But you have, it's like when you know somewhere in your Udo hand, you have two wild cards that you're like, I'm going to be

good. I'm going to make that motherfucker draw four. He has a couple big ones that he can't fuck it up, but I think we'll be all right. I still trust the Feige in my core when it comes to that stuff, but I'll tell i think we'll be all right i still trust the foggy in my core when it comes to that stuff but i'll tell you we did lose our way for a little bit and again they're kind of like they kind of just took the exact same cartoon from the 90s oh totally but you know what they listened to the fans that was. It was like a lesson in like, not always are they the, you know, the one, the one speaking

online, the vocal, vocal minority. Sometimes they are. Yeah. Sometimes those people are just like, those are the fans. And in this case, clearly was one. I'm going to give you like the nice spin pieces they get from like the people that are going to be in Disney's pockets, which, Hey, we can be in your pocket. Disney, you give us money, free shit, cameos, we can be bought.

Like you go, like the best thing to ever have through the MCU was 2021 and 2022, or 2023, because then when 2025 and 6 and 7 came out, they had all the mistakes out, and X-Men and Fantastic Four were the best things they've done, and it's never had such momentum ever. And that is how we are going to make remove that from the podcast we're going to send this one directly to find you we have to like

make our pitch here if they don't need i don't need the basement lights to be on if we've been paid the basement lights go on for free at that point if we make our money i want to be rich like kfc one day don't you i do too and also i've been getting so many recommendations on instagram suggested reels and stuff from disney influencers like people that just go to disney you know and they make videos about it we got to do a food tour of disney we've been looking for like how do we make the next trip to disney different dude every day i'm getting the top 10 churros you could try in disney it's like 10 sure we didn't see one churro what are are you talking about? So I think we're going to put together a pitch for the next Disney boys trip to be. Let's try like every, you know, it's going to be hard to do all of them in one day.

We might have to do a two day trip or maybe a three day trip. Or maybe like we'll go for a week together. But I'm not just trying to spend time with Dave and nothing like that with his pocketbook. Nothing like that. But we're going to put together a Disney boys part two trip. Back to the X-Men. I also have to just shout out. We're talking reels and stuff like that but we're gonna put together disney boys part two trip back to the x-men i also have to just shout out we're talking um reels and stuff like that shout out our boy kyle gelling for uh for those that don't know kyle he's done a bunch of stuff he's done we gotta

believe in me he's done socially there's a lot of like the behind the scenes stuff as well he has a tiktok um that's called mr movie must knows great uh like give some fun facts give some takes and some you know news fully kind of like takes on a lot of shit he uh he had a thing about with mcgregor being the number one first paid first highest paid first time actor of all time yeah for roadhouse and robbie's boy just takes the clip puts it on his twitter and just puts it out and he said it to me it was like what the fuck i'm like oh my god kyle so shout out kyle man that is so funny wild stuff yeah that was awesome back to the x-men prior fucks all of them up basically like they get into this big battle she turns morph against them jams magneto's powers magneto is using his powers in a cool way too he's pulling

the like wiring off of stained glass in this church. Really cool. But the X-Men get fucked up in this battle, essentially. Back at the X-Mansion, Jean senses this, and her and Logan have a connection. Very movie-like. Very much felt like the movies we just recapped, like the X-Men trilogy. And it gets a little spicy. He's like, think of how much you mean to it gets a little spicy he's like think of how much

you mean to all of us and she's like i mean all that to you answer with the more it's like whoa logan put it back in your pants for a second she's not even she hasn't even taken the iv out of her arm dude and then she's like yeah but scott and then she just yeah our blade cyclops got another w she fucking and then she puts up the ponytail beingops got another W. She fucking swerved him. And then she puts up the ponytail being like, I got to get to business. I'm going to war, yeah. Fellas, when your girl puts up the hair into a ponytail, it usually means a very good thing. This meant something even better somehow for Cyclops because she was about to fucking unleash the Phoenix Force kind of energy on the motherfucking Goblin Queen's mind.

So that was incredible. Also, how about her hitting Hank with a beast, please? I didn't. He's like, you can't go to battle. Lay back down. She's like, beast, please. Beast, please. Beast, please. That's the hashtag for this week, by the way.

Beast, please. Definitely. Beast was dropping us all the beastisms all my stars and garters and he was just dropping all the little fucking sayings i'm like cook hank cook young hank cook when they went to hell he's like i do share an affinity for uh dante's inferno but not quite like this yeah we get it you read the book yeah dude was there any part of you that thought there might be a mephisto i was oh no actually it didn't even cross my mind scouring bob i was scouring the screen looking for any kind of hints from mephisto i'm still stuck in 2021 wandavision times in my brain it's good that it didn't cross my mind like mephisto is going to hit me when i least expect it exactly uh very x3 type scene from like professor x meeting gene gray as a child

him rolling up you know yep talking to her parents for a little bit thought that was the doll no what was the doll it's a cyclops oh interesting gene have a thing for just cyclopses in general and then she heard that was his x-Men name and she was like, ooh. Or did she almost see her own future that she was going to be in love with a Cyclops? There's a lot of different ways it can go. But someone pointed out that it's like a little Cyclops doll that has one eye. And I'm like, wait a minute. This doesn't make sense.

It's deep, man. There's layers. It's some Shrek shit. It's like an ogre it's like an onion and then gene gets through to gene and they eventually they get nathan back they get the baby back but did they really get him back did they get him back like he was before no he's got this genetic disease we know what that's going to do later baby you need you make a baby aids we'll call it it kind of is he's green all over the place

you never want a baby being green and they give him to bishop and take him to like a different dimension different universe and hopefully you know they basically tell him you can't stay on our universe as much as it hurts to give the baby up we have to give the baby up crazy emotional for like episode three and then the final scene is is yeah is storm meeting uh forge who we will i'm sure learn a lot more about this season i know he's very important to the x-men comics so i forgot all about forage and as soon as i saw him i go oh shit forage is here and i was like i don't remember what forage was i just was like it it's been imprinted in my brain. So it was great to see that.

I can't believe the amount of ground they covered in 25 minutes. I know. Yeah. Like that. I mean, it took us 25 minutes to recap it. Yeah, exactly. Right. And then you think of the first two episodes along with this, and it's like, they've just,

just crushed comics upon comics worth of material. And it's like, and we're still rolling it doesn't feel like all right there's going to be a break it's going to be another twist our girl storm she's going to lose her power for one episode just just like hilarious to me again that's very soap opera ish where i'm like this woman's been in a coma for like a year in your show and then she wakes up and it's like oh but it was all a dream and then i'm like oh that's everything you just watched is like down the toilet she's like yeah that's how it works i'm like okay so i wanted to shit on it but we're kind of doing the same thing here in the comic book world but i

love it i fucking love it and that but yeah giving up your kid to the future knowing and you like you know like i kind of remember cable he has some issues he definitely has some issues he's got some some he's got some issues yeah she tried she tried to like give him the old gene gray i love you don't forget me kind of thing i imagine that shorts out when you take a you know jump to the future to like a bleak world or whatever he's gonna become like a robot fucking terminator assassin like yeah i just what we watched deadpool 2 out of the like blue it was right before this and i was like oh shit i kind of have grown up baby nathanael i got to get to see him all grown up he sounds just like thanos well that'll be a good transition to our next show

because deadpool 2 features domino played by zazie beats and zazie beats is also the voice of amber and invincible boom now we got to talk about a little dilemma here with invincible we're getting ready to do the podcast i'm like you're ready to do the podcast you're like yup just watch invincible episode six i was like that wasn't this week's you were like did they release two this week did they release two last week we were trying to figure out where we went wrong here i believe correct me if i'm wrong you were just a week behind so last week i believe you were recapping invincible episode five and i was recapping invincible episode six how did this happen did we not recap the first time the first week i don't understand no we didn't that's why okay so

i was i must have watched five and like all right i'm caught up thinking and then and so i must not have watched it as soon as it came out the first week and i must have caught with like in between so yeah well there was a lot of racism like oh that guy i you know i was just starting to like that guy talking about rex and then thinking he's dead and then he's very much alive in episode six and i remember a few like confusing i was like who are you talking about there because i thought you were talking about like a mortal you're talking about someone at the end of the episode and i was like there's some immortal at the end of the episode it makes sense now that yeah we were recapping two different episodes so you did you watch six and seven so now you're caught up

and i thought seven was honestly really good i thought seven was one of the better episodes of the season yes i agree i'm very happy the senior moment didn't come out yet if we were just doing that the rest of the season where i was always one episode behind and then you're recapping the finale i'm like wait what happened what's spoiling things for you yeah i would have been that would have been a doozy but that i i want it to be known that's not an old person my brain stinks and i had the coffee incident that's that will live in infamy on this podcast this was not that i think it was just a little hiccup you're having a day off here and there and then that's like when i mean it's as much on me as it is on you for not like putting it together reca recapping last week, I feel like this.

And I just caught up to invincible. So I'm, I'm learning the release patterns. I felt we got to break. Nobody's even given a shit for it. There's at least one person. Oh shit. I think prior in the same book that I'm in right now.

So, so, so yeah, if that's the case, make sure you watch seven spoilers. If you have it and then come back here. Anyway, going back to the last week's episode that I didn't recap. Again, I kind of like Rex now.

He was such an absolute scum. I like Rex. And it's not even like, oh, he was misunderstood. He was an asshole to all the chicks in his life, which he basically admits to. And then this episode, the meta jokes I loved with the animation. Oh, my God. I was going to say that's where to start because it's my favorite scene in the episode mark goes to comic-con with amber and he wants to talk to like his favorite you know artist or whatever on this book and they did this in the comics with comic books though so they were like

we use panels and they would do three of the exact same image in a row and stuff. But it's a very, very on the nose meta scene where they're like, sometimes we'll show the back of a character's head to avoid animating their mouths. Sometimes we'll do a large pan out where you, you know, can barely tell that nobody's moving at all. And it's very obvious. And sometimes we'll do a close up. The way that was handled was so good. Even just Comic-Con in general, it looked like the fucking Javits Center. Some of the structures in the back, like the outside of it looked like L.A. And they had a guy dressed as like fake Thanos outside.

He kind of looked like Thanos. There was the invincible guy. He's like, oh, fuck, do I look like that? Like it's like a shitty costume, shitty impression or whatever. That was my favorite stuff in the episode. And then he has to leave to go. He thought he was going to save Rex, but Rex is like,

let me fucking do this alone, fighting the Octoboss. And that was another, like, I thought that this episode started super strong with the back to back scenes there. Cause Rex killing it with the wrist rocket and being like, I should have fucking done that from the start.

That was great. I like how we're going to like, start liking characters that we were clearly meant to hate I'm sure we're going to hate characters we're supposed to love at some point, I'm sure it's happened already this is how you know a show like this has likes and again, going back to the misunderstanding

I just caught up to Invincible I crushed a season and a half to get caught up then they took a fucking hiatus on me out of the blue never do that again never do that again they're gonna do it again i know they're gonna do it again and that whole meta joke is just because they're like yeah guys we're fucking burnt out it takes a ton of work and it's a ton of money so we have to do it did feel like that they like that they were talking to the

audience or that one they were like how about you chill the fuck out we're trying here um donald discovers his past this was another good scene too where he's talking uh um is it cecil and he's like you know what's going on with it cleared my memories and he's like it was your choice like don't say i never fucking told you you shouldn't have done this he shows him the computer all the various times he's died trying to fucking save the world he realizes all right maybe i made the right choice when i wanted to clear those memories pretty traumatic shit um and mark's old principal's back i like mark's old principal yeah it's carl winslow baby carl winslow i love it man reginald val johnson uh al powell as well and die hard i have a little bit of fan fiction in my head and i want to know if you

would like to play along with it okay donald every time i see him i think of our boy trent i'm gonna say donald is trent's older brother oh i love that because he's kind of got the hair yeah he got the hair trent with sunglasses like trenton in his security days a midwestern disposition i'd say too right yeah hi know, it's like, and he doesn't go by Don or Donnie. He goes by Donald, right? Very proper. Yes, exactly. So did you see the tweet I had about Trent earlier?

I did not want a live reaction to it. This was crazy. Don't even look up the tweet. No, I want to tell you live. I do the rundown today with Smitty and fibs. We got nothing to talk about in the after show. No dramas unfolded no big stories so i suggest right before we go live i said let's just make up a wild rumor about trent

i said cue me up i'll make a wild rumor about trent i love doing that once on the rundown i said everyone tweet trent happy birthday if you made it this far and they were like it's trent's birthday i was like no that's why it's so i make up this rumor that trent's down in florida shooting breaking 90 with frankie and he got bit by an alligator in his left calf. I was like, he got bit by an alligator. Thank God it wasn't his fingers. He got a couple stitches. He's okay.

They got it on video. I'm sure they'll put it out. I said, Frankie, chase the alligator off of the nine iron. And Smitty called it out immediately. He's like, this is a fake story. Frankie would never chase anything off. So we joked about it. I admit it on the run down. I was like, yeah, it was a fake story frankie would never chase anything off so we joked i i admit it on the run down i was like yeah it was a fake story i made it up dude three hours

later trent posts a fucking instagram story from a golf course in florida had no idea he was in florida of an alligator oh my god i was like oh and we regretted immediately i sent it to everyone that did the rundown of john rich we were like we should have fucking never said it was a lie on the rundown because people seeing a picture of an alligator on a story and then hearing that. Oh, my God. But that really made us laugh. What a crazy coincidence. I thought they were in Georgia. Truly thought they were in Georgia because Trent had a story from there a couple of days ago.

Crazy. Bobby, you might have like you might be for sensitive here. You might be getting like dream. Maybe a couple of days ago. Crazy. Bobby, you might have like, you might be for sensitive here. You might be getting like dreams. Maybe a mutant gene. Yeah. Are you the real Robbie Fox? Are you the Madeline Pryor? Are you the guy?

I do have blue eyes, which they say is a mutation. So I always be like, I'm a mutant. Like when I was growing up, I thought that's what that sick fuck Charles would say to you at the bar. Oh, you go to my mansion let's just um we get a big date montage with mark and amber eventually that's interrupted by a viltrumite who comes down and fucking threatens amber it's like the first time she's been threatened in that way she grips the back of her neck they go up in the sky they start talking eventually this giant like sea monster attacks a cruise ship so her neck they go up in the sky they start talking eventually this

giant like sea monster attacks a cruise ship so they got to go fucking fix the cruise ship the viltrumite beats his ass when he doesn't want to join and like she puts her foot on his face his neck kind of and she's like i'll give you the option or whatever he says fuck no and she just steps on it further you hear the snap the crack or whatever that was a brutal scene but everything about that like cruise ship disaster and then battle little fight afterwards awesome our boy mark rides for us man i appreciate that as a human yeah real world not a cartoon this fictional world i just want to say i appreciate you mark whatever universe yeah this guy is got his being to the brink of death by his father and then this

vilter might who i love it they're just like mark we've done the scans you are fucked pal do not do not engage just say just say you're gonna do it just say you're gonna do it and he's just like no and he's like every bone in his body great so yeah shout out mark and then that's not the only break because him and Amber break up. Unfortunately, they're done, which I didn't realize this. Did you know people hate Amber? Like a lot of people online are like,

thank God she's gone off the show. Like I always thought she was a fine character. Last week we were praising how understanding she was of Mark's superhero lifestyle. I feel like a lot of the times you get the typical trope girlfriend who like gets upset about the stuff in the beginning, which you would understand lying and disappearing from one side of time. Very fair criticisms, by the way.

And she's like, oh, no, she's pretty fucking cool. But the breakup. Written well, too. Even their little argument at Comic-Con in this episode was like a realistic back and forth of like, are we doing like what you want to do? And like, who says I'm not enjoying this? Like it's like a you could feel the little tension like building in their relationship now i also have to admit i didn't realize that zazie beats who plays domino is the voice of her i i'm pretty sure right i'm like 90 sure that's true i don't know i will say this i when i watched deadpool 2 i was reminded

that i have a crush on domino so yeah i kind of now ipso facto i guess it's the same person same goes for our girl uh yeah it's ozzy beats amber here is ozzy beats okay yep so yeah she's great in deadpool 2 i'm um said that she's apparently not in three. Oh, really? I thought we'd definitely get, like, the... I mean, if you were in Deadpool 1 and 2, you're almost done. Except for T.J. Miller who, like, is cancelled or whatever the fuck. Yeah, unfortunately. Everyone else, I thought, would be in it. So that's a bummer, man.

That's a... I was like, do I watch this movie? Is this part of... Do we have to do a Deadpool 1 and 2 rewatch if we're doing all the X-Men? Maybe we should do them together.-Men maybe we should do them together yeah maybe we'll do them what is that July it comes out yeah July 26 so we still got

we still got a couple months so do you think Amber's gone now that's my question do you think she's out of the show or do you think she's gonna kind of I think she'll pop back in she's probably gone as a regular character though I don't think she'll be in every episode okay one of my takes from the doubles episode I watched today, because I had to watch six and seven,

I feel like Adam, Eve, and I feel like Eve and Vince were getting together. But I thought it was going to be potentially scandalous, which wouldn't feel like he would do that to her. So that's the only reason why I was like, but I think maybe they get together and then Amber's gonna be pissed that they're together. I, I do think that that felt inevitable. Just the way the characters is like,

even the little subtle things for a cartoon that you pick up by your like, Oh shit, it feels like there's something there. Yeah. All right.

It's great. Now let's get into the mailbag. We had a bunch of people send in questions for us about absolutely anything. It doesn't have to be about X-Men or Invincible. We're going all over the map today. We start off with a longtime listener, Jake Patterson. He says, favorite sword from anything besides lightsabers? He says lightsabers could kind of be their own category.

Don't count those. Favorite sword elsewhere if you wanted to count lightsabers as their own category i feel like i have three that i'm like really partial to three lightsabers that i'm partial to this is the nerdiest podcast you'll see all week let's hear obviously the skywalker saber that i've got on my arm it's gone through all three generations it feels like the definitive lightsaber to me in the star wars saga because of that um but as far as like me aesthetically stuff that i like i'm a green guy so i like green lightsabers mainly qui-gons qui-gwan um i it was the one that i played with the most as a kid it's like very it has a lot of black in it

compared to other hilts it kind of looks like it's like got a rubber grip or something i always thought that looked cool and luke's return of the jedi hilt coming out of r2d2 the pop-up everything about that lightsaber even the deleted scene of him fighting the kyra crystal i love that one so other than that what is your favorite sword clamp so i have two one actually no i have so i have three that immediately come to my head number one shout out basic boy uh former basic boy of the week sam lauderdale got me i got the sword of omens from thundercats i remember once i was like i gotta get this sam lauderdale just like buy this he sent me somebody and i was like all right i guess He sent me somebody. And I was like, all right, I guess I'm going to buy the Sword of Moments. Took it out on House of the Dragon.

That was a lot of fun. I also have to hide it in my garage because if AJ finds out there's a real sword here, multiple people will be dead in my house. That's number one with a bullet. Thundercats was my favorite show growing up. So that's number one. Number two, I do have a little thing called He-Man because that was before Thundercats. I loved He-Man. So He- number one. Number two, I do have a little thing called He-Man because that was before Thundercats. I loved He-Man, so He-Man sword. But the third Game of Thrones is like Sword City, obviously.

Fucking. So I loved Longclaw. That was my favorite sword that actually got used, Jon Snow's sword. However, fucking Ice, the goddamn sword of Ned Stark. Ned. It was so goddamn big they broke it down to two swords that thing is like so badass it's almost oh shit i got another one i'm a sword guy i'm learning i'm a sword you got we got a top four swords you're laughing at me for having a top three lights i know four swords cloud from final fantasy seven that's an iconic

big one right the giant one and he spins it around after every battle which is a very unsafe thing to do looking back what was he thinking doing that so i'm a long claw guy myself i love the specifically the hilt of long claw um the like the dire wolf having your fucking your pet on the hill always remind you you love that thing like if i had a sword i'd put faith on there exactly and it used i think it used to be a bear because that was uh mormon's side and then they whittled it down to the to the dire wolf if i if i had to get like a real sword for battle i guess i don't know what else i had if i had to get a second sword to have in my house i would get long claw that was that when i was checking out when i was like um checking out of the etsy store for the sword of omens and second while you're here you might also be interested

long claw and i was like do i go for two and go for that's like can't be a two sword guy two quarterbacks you don't have none two swords you don't have none i'm a sort of opens guy but those are my top he got two swords like at what point do you have a sword collection you don't want to be the guy with the sword collection no we don't have do you have a sword collection? You don't want to be the guy with the sword collection. No. No offense to any listeners with a sword collection. Because honestly, if you have a man cave cool enough, I'm sure you could pull that off. But the other thing is, though, you're then like the Florida guy. Like, Florida guys have sword. And you're like the Kung Fu guy.

You never wear a shirt. Who's the guy that plays the brother in the bear who's dead, who dies? Oh, John Berthenal, right? Yes. Like, you know, the character he plays in Wolf of Wall Street. He's like a hard-o. That's a sword guy in my mind. And nothing wrong with it.

But that's who you're keeping your, like, company with. And I'm looking up right now on Etsy if someone has the Cloud Strive Sword for Final Fantasy VII. Because that's a reckless deal. How would you order that? That would come in a fucking piano box. That thing's massive. It is. Let's see.

Buster Sword, Masamune Cloud, 52 inches. 52 inches. That's a little bigger than 4 feet. That's like a big TV. Yeah, that's 4 footer. It is. Also, how heavy would that be? you'd have to be made out of something really light i'll tell you how heavy it would be bob let's see if we have the thing right here it's stainless steel so we're dealing with a legitimate sword um 180 on etsy ships from new york oh it's basically here already we don't

pick it up could arrive by april 3rd to 10th handmade good we're taking care of like this isn't just you know some faceless corporation 133 centimeters again we have the inches of tops we don't have to do the math there um i don't see a weight though unfortunately i need to see yeah they're not telling you because it's going to show up and you're not even going to be able to pick it up it's like mjolnir and you know what you know what you're going to do you're going to try to do the old cloud after the battle, swing it behind your back, dead. Head off. Game over.

I blog about it because I have to. And we're making jokes at your dead bodies. I have to think about this heavy. Top five current favorite swords. I'm a sword guy. I'm a sword guy.

I have a sword guy i'm a sword guy you know guys i'm a sword guy i have a sword no more than 15 years away from me right now if you if you could say that at any time you're a sword guy and i'm a sword guy our next question comes from spongebob lose pants he says if you could have free reign to make a movie tomorrow, what would it look like? This is a tough question to answer because my brain goes all over the place. I do have three kind of movie ideas that came right to mind. One, I think I've talked about on the podcast before. One is a rough and rowdy horror movie idea where some of the rough and rowdy towns we've gone to are not so nice.

And some of them don't even have cell service unless you have like their local provider so it's like you text people like all right i'll see you i'll text you later tonight you drive into the mountains so you lose cell service so that just is a good premise for a horror movie in the first place i kind of think it should be the the townspeople taking over and making us fight like you know you make us fight now we're making you fight to the death i think that would be cool rough and rowdy beats deliverance is that a fair way to yeah yeah that meets like even like squid game a little bit like the way that they're making those people fight like that i think they feel like that'd be cool

one is kind of like almost famous which is one of my favorite movies but instead of a kid meeting a band he's meeting wrestlers and trying to break into the wrestling business just because that's kind of like you know my high school experience i feel like i could write a story that i don't know i'm not saying i could write a movie i couldn't but i could write that story because i'm familiar with it roadie does that get called roadie i feel like that's the title. Rhodey's good. Yeah. They call,

they called like, um, like kind of like, uh, a term for groupies. That's a bad rat. Oh, ring rat.

Okay. That's right. Now, like you don't, you wouldn't call a guy that. That's what I'm saying. It's kind of a derogatory. Okay.

Okay. They don't have a guy thing. Like you get picked up by the wrestling circus marks he's a mark mark there's a lot of wrestling terms are fucking so good man i love wrestling literally a carny vocabulary and my third one isn't really my idea it was my brother's idea but i think it would be a good movie my brother and my uncle my whole family a lot of more stagehands for years. And the idea of a clerk's style comedy taking place on like the fly floor, like backstage at a Broadway show. I know it seems like a very niche thing, but I think it would be very funny. So I have one answer to this and it's a movie I have talked about for a while.

I just thought of it. Again, don't have near the talent to write one, to even come up with like a legitimate universe or a bunch of characters. It would take me a long time to get it ironed out. But I love this idea. And it's just a high school lunchroom. It's just called The Lunchroom. And you learn about everything that's going on in everyone's life through just the conversations at the lunch table. Now, granted, I'm sure the lunch tables now are a lot different. They were when I was killing in the phones and you didn't have all the different things that distract you,

but like, you don't even know what happens, but you can see how their lives are progressing just through the stories at the lunch table. And I just, I like that good as time set it in the nineties to make sure there's no phone. That took away the biggest problem we had at the start. We bobbed in it with one cent. Perfect. And then you get a bunch of needle drops of your favorite 90s music. Yes, exactly. And you're like, oh, man, like, the new Biggie came out, and it's like, oh, man, Biggie's dead.

Like, you kind of, like, those are shit things that just happen. Your favorite artist just died at the drop of a hat. Like, I feel like you hear, I could picture this already. We could make this movie. Someone walking into a lunchroom, headphones on, pans down to their Walkman. And as soon as they hit, like, eject, then, like, the song stops and the dialogue starts. We're on to something. And you know what?

Right outside my lunchroom, there was two pay phones. If you had a, like, a recorder mod or anything. So, very 90s. The old Snapple machines. We get the old Snapple cans in there. All right, Bob. We're cooking. We're cooking. We're cooking.

We just need someone to just make this entire movie for us and we're good. Or AI could probably do it in like three to five years. So whatever happens first. They made Seinfeld for a while. Yeah. I think eventually it got racist though, which was no good. That was the fucking fall of man. It was like all the stuff you guys say online and we're gonna make Seinfeld episodes out of it and within a week it was canceled yeah that was bad um player prop man

says Robbie give us a breakdown of your top 10 favorite Jedi not best or strongest just personal favorite and I said to you Clem beforehand I said come up with your top five I'm not gonna ask you to come up with 10 because even me guy with a lightsaber tattoo on his arm huge star wars diehard fan bury me in my star wars merch i'm like 10 but i mean by nine i'm like i guess i'll throw a fucking plow coon on the list but like let me go through my 10 number one it's an obvious one it's luke skywalker if luke skywalker is not your number, I don't know what you're doing. Number two, the little green man, Yoda. Absolutely love Yoda.

Always have, always will. Number three, Obi-Wan, guy who taught Luke most of what he knows, whether it be in real life or through the force. Number four, my boy, Qui-Gon. I said I played with his lightsaber the most as a kid. I probably watched The Phantom Menace the most out of every Star Wars movie when I was a kid. So it does speak to what George was trying to do, appeal to little kids. It did work, which is crazy. It's a movie about space taxation and shit.

I should probably fast forward into the final battle a little more than I should have been. But, you know, it is what it is. Number five, I'm going to do something that pisses people off, people off clem it's gonna piss people off putting this person top five it's ray skywalker it is i think i think ray is a great character played by a great actress in daisy ridley i feel bad that she was kind of hit with the star wars curse and hasn't been in much since star wars she's now coming back i'm excited to see what she does the bottom half six through ten i'll go through a quick ahsoka which a lot of people should probably say i should have higher especially people would put her higher than ray but on the sequel trilogy stan i'm not ashamed of it either um number seven mace windu number eight

i'm just gonna say that mace wind do stinks you know i'm not gonna lie he might have been higher on my list before tales of the jedi seeing him kind of like get all the credit for count dooku's work and you know rise up the ranks that way and then also just the worst arresting skills of all time he shows up with the squad of like 10 to get an old man and that was just really bad um my final three kit fisto plo coon and canin jars canin maybe could be higher as well he is voiced by freddie pritch jr he's the guy from rebels um is any of those a guy with a super big head is that one of them no kiari mundi he didn't make it on mine what about the droid attack on the wookies his head always freaked me out a little too much as a kid.

Me too. A little too veiny, you know? George might have been going for something else there. Who are your top five, Clem? Okay, number five, this one might be controversial. Finn, he was a Jedi, right? Is there more light to believe? Or they just started that story and then just kind of forgot about it in the sequel trilogy?

They kind of forgot about it and then in 9 they kind of implied maybe, you know, it was weird. I fucking hate the sequel trilogy. I'm not afraid to admit that. I'm just kidding. He's not my 5. I didn't think he would be.

My true number 5 is R2-D2. I don't care what anyone says that motherfucker is a jedi the stuff that broke for my guy r2 well you can tell me droids can't be jedi oh you're racist then that's and honestly i love he's my favorite character but in terms of jedi i don't know how much work r2d2 put in just because he was a droid he probably didn't know what jedis really were but he was a fucking jedi so I don't care what anyone says. The stuff he gets out of the gems, he's a Jedi. There's no other way around it.

Number four, Obi-Wan. Honestly, Obi-Wan might have been higher before his series, which didn't really include a lot of good Obi-Wan stuff. We're not even going to go there. We're not going to go there. We already wrote the sequel trilogy. We're not going to go to the Obi-Wan show. Number three, I don't know if he's technically considered.

He's definitely not considered a Jedi yet. Probably doesn't have like the fucking pin or whatever they give out to these guys. I know where this is going. It's the little guy. Little baby. Yep. Little baby. I didn't know if I could put him on there.

So I didn't yet. But we know he's going in that direction. I had like Finn. I had a lot of jokey stuff. I got to actually put some jedis on here and i don't know fucking i didn't know don't say jedis the plural of jedi is jedi excuse me i apologize number two it's the other green guy the old green guy yo and then number, no surprise, before he was a Sith Lord, Jar Jar was a great Jedi. No, I choose to believe in the Darth Jar Jar that he was made from pure evil from day one,

and he was never at all ounce of good in him, Jar Jar. Number one's Luke, of course. It's a chalk pick, but come on. If you don't have Luke number one, you're crazy. Yeah, exactly. It's the brain. It's like chalk pick, but come on If you don't have Luke number one, you're crazy Yeah, exactly It's like Tom Brady No matter if you hate the Patriots, you're still like, that's the fucking goat When he won in New England It's like, this guy, actually

You can make a case if you hated the sequel trilogy Enough that Luke kind of Disappoints you there, but he still Helps out, wins in his own Special way That was kind of his New England years were in the sequel trilogy but he still like helps out wins in his own certain special way so you gotta go that was kind of his his new england years were in the sequel trilogy i'm sorry the family bay years fair enough he got a super bowl so i'll take that yeah yeah he'll take that

tj writes and he says marvel rumor you hope is true and marvel rumor you hope is not true so i thought about this for a while the one i hope is true is javier bardem as galactus i think that's perfect casting i think that that would be awesome so cool the one i hope is not true is that spider-man 4 sony is pushing it to be a multiverse movie i really loved the way that they set up No Way Home to kind of give us a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man again. Someone that's grounded, taken, you know, he's had everything taken from him. He's living in this grungy, dirty New York City apartment again. He doesn't know Tony Stark and the Avengers have access to all that technology again. And the rumor is that Kevin Feigeige and tom holland are kind

of pushing it for pushing for more grounded underground story i hope that is very much the case what about you are they also saying in that movie that it's gonna have like multiple villains it's gonna be villain packed with i think you won i think sony wants that and i feel like this marvel studios side is pushing for, that's not really what we set up in the last movie. Yeah. Now this is the only thing I feel like Sony's doing that. They've been like,

if we put our shitty villains that we fucked up in their own movies in a Marvel movie, then they get like the Marvel shine. They're good again. And then we're going to pry, fuck it up with their own. You know, they're going to do what Sony does.

Right. And it'll be fucked up, but they'll get a bunch of money in the meantime there. One I hope is true is that we're going to get some doom sooner rather than later. I think it's like there's been enough smoke. This is the wrestling episode, it seems. You just hear enough times that that guy's coming back

or spotted backstage. You know that wrestler is going to show up at some point on raw or whatever it may be so doom coming back but what i hope is not true i don't think we should just get rid of kang altogether i think there's so many we've talked about this a million times on this bike it's the one guy you can just change just because you had that one post creditscredits fucking scene it wasn't even part of the movie really well the kings are jumping around you'd be like oh they died on the way back to the planet like fucking poochie yeah yeah we're fucking we're good you already have kang in the world don't just like erase them because we're gonna remember jonathan majors

whether it's in fucking 10 months or 10 years. We're still gonna remember how this all fucking went down. It's just too much of a character. It's like, we want, let's get all these fucking, like, it's when you're playing a video game, it's nice to be able to unlock all the characters one by one. Sometimes it's just nice to put the cheat code in and then every character is selectable.

And I want to have the whole entire Marvel universe selectable now, especially after guys kind of struggled with the characters that were available to you the last few years. We got the X-Men. We got the Fantastic Four. Fuck it. Give us the whole goddamn character selection screen.

Even the super duper secret cool character. And you know what? You can keep the super duper secret cool characters, but everything else, put them fucking selectable for us. The Lego Marvel game is the perfect example once you get all those characters like oh my god we have so many dude any lego game when you get all the characters and you just see them all lined up for you you do a free play mission or something you just feel rich you feel like the richest man in the world you're like this

is i could play as jango fett boba fett general grievous i could play as an emuok if i want to like it is the greatest feeling by the way speaking of marvel character selection screen this marvel rifles game that's coming out it's like a game from epic games the fortnight people it's overwatch based free to play it looks awesome have you seen the trailer based on your reaction i don't think you have i do not i'm like looking at how to sign up for like it's a it's a fucking they're beta testing and alpha testing whatever the fuck that wow i never played overwatch but i know how big overwatch is i know

like huge community people do tournaments thousands of people watching twitch and all that if it's based on that if it's half as good it'll be a pretty popular game because the the roster looks amazing it's fucking go as iron man you go as dr strange making portals sending spider-man through portals looks amazing this looks awesome this has potential right here i am such a basement boys written all over it this has basic boys written all over it i am a button masher when it comes to like superhero, but I'll button mash the fuck out of this. And doing a Battle Royale or whatever, maybe six on six. And free to play.

I'm in. You make a game free to play. I'll try it out for sure. I still play Fortnite. I won a Battle Royale with AJ, by the way, who's a fucking five-year-old. I'm realizing Fortnite, Battle Royale, Victory Roy rolls don't count as much as they used to, but I still fuck with Fortnite cause it's free. I'll pay some money to get some cool little,

you know, swag or whatever. Like keep it going. Marvel. This is awesome. I'm excited for rivals now. Yeah. It looks really good.

Um, uh, Brayden Curry says, what new project are you looking most forward to? What new projects are you least looking forward to? For me, there's four projects mainly that I'm very much the most looking forward to. Four that are like an active development. The Batman 2.

That's my number one. I loved The Batman so much. My favorite movie of the past couple of years still. Superman. James Gunn, Superman, your boy, Nebraska zone,

Deadpool and Wolverine, of course, coming up this summer. And then the fantastic four, I think fantastic four is going to be awesome. I'm like really hopeful based on all the little concept art we've seen where their suits look like they're like knitted. And the rumors were here and that's a different universe. And they'll weave it in the cast who we love like all four at least i love all four of the cast members that they have as the family i'm really excited about that and then the two i'm

looking least forward to joker 2 i gotta be honest i wasn't the biggest joker guy i like it as a movie i don't like it as a joker movie i don't think it does the joker justice i don't think that character feels like the joker at all and i don't like the idea of a sequel i heard the sequel is a jukebox musical they're gonna do 15 songs that we all know with lady gaga playing harley quinn it just seems weird to me seems like a money grab just because the first one made a billion because when the first one came out they were saying we ain't doing a sequel and the first one doesn't feel set up for a sequel. Anyway, not looking forward to that. Also not really looking forward to Craven the Hunter,

knowing Sony is probably going to trash another great IP that should be valuable later on. Brave New World, New Captain America. I'll admit I'm worried about it. I shouldn't, I'm not not looking forward to it. But with the reshoots that they've had to do do due to apparently things being a little too real life about the middle East or even Europe. I don't know what the situation was. Everything about it worries me a little bit.

All right. The one I'm looking forward to the most is. Oh, look at you. You got a superman now i didn't know i didn't have this my whole life because i'm such a diehard superman fan uh the other night i just was thinking about i think i was watching like an old guardians clip and i'm like man the guy who did this is gonna do a superman movie and i've seen it i've lived long enough to know that doesn't mean this super's going to be in the same vein or just as good, whatever, but I just feel calm

that he's going to do it right and I'm excited to get, like, again I never really got into the Christopher Reeve, which I know were awesome back in their time, and then all the other ones I either didn't love or I just never watched, I'm excited to have a good fucking Superman movie

and he's the fucking Superman of his comic universe. Whether or not we want to admit it on this podcast or not, he's the dude of all comic books. That kills me as an X-Men fan, but he is what he is. And then I don't I'm trying not to make this against Robbie

despite how rude he was during that game time read. But that fucking captain america movie the more i hear about it the more worried i get bob i'm legitimately worried i heard bucky's out now is that right well he's always been out which again doesn't really make sense why would you do a captain america movie without him at this point but i guess yeah he's for the thunderbolt so he's not in this movie and anthony mackie seems upset what worries me is anthony mackie's like yeah i was kind of pissed he wasn't there it's like why is anthony mackie already upset about this movie it's tough every like just bad juju something stinks here like i just don't feel

good about it and again the show the way the show ended too it's like you know i was i was riding for this flag smashers which probably is probably i'm sure if i go back be like oh my god i can't believe it's right it's hard for the flag smashers maybe it'll surprise us harrison ford is red hulk that'll be oh maybe hopefully like hopefully they don't fuck that up and listen so i'm looking at the other i'm not excited for agatha right now agatha was fun when it was like oh it's her she had a song they had did all the remix song we were also like still in coven world so things that are it's like jokes when they're funny when you're like drunk or something the next day you look back i think agatha ironheart not really looking too forward to it i mean they wrapped that in 2022 they're saying it's coming out in 2025 because they got to do so many reshoots.

Oh my god. Even Thunderbolts, I'm really just like, I think it's like stuff that was born or is adding on to the stuff that came out the last few years. It's like, well, I didn't really enjoy the first project of this. I don't know why I'm enjoying the next project

of it. So I won't even just pile on DC there because I think you can throw a lot of those dc things you did as well so i'll kind of like pretty much like x-men deadpool fantastic four like all that shit very much looking forward to and a lot of the other stuff it's kind of just mad but you know and of course batman all that kind of stuff as well and my guy mr soup i. Super. I'm going to call him Kent Clark one day, and I'm just going to... I'm telling you right now, March 28th, you can't make fun of me because I know it.

I know the right way it is, but I know my brain stinks, and at one point I'm going to fuck his name up. And you saying it now, you're already in your own head about it. Now I'm like, that's going to also hurt it, yeah. Our next question from scott he says what marvel character or characters would you like to see get the x-men 97 treatment we didn't

necessarily know exactly what this meant like if you want to take an old marvel show and bring it back like x-men 97 or like put a new character in the show or do a show with new characters. I said, if you want to take a show to bring back the 90s Spider-Man cartoon would be it for me. I thought that was a pretty great cartoon, pretty great theme itself. Not X-Men could, but a good theme.

And as far as new characters, whether it's bringing them into 97 or giving them their own 90s set show, easy answer, but the guardians like we've never seen the guardians interact with the 90s x-men like something about that seems intriguing to me so you could also use a different soundtrack for them doesn't have to be james gunn's guardians but you could take a lot of that stuff and a lot of that vibe could be fun oh i like that i so i have the same thing you did i had spider-man animated series and it was twofold one my boy here i want my boy to get a spider-man thing i also want more spider

i want so many spider-man projects that are marvel related that you almost forget the bad so many projects they put out yeah universe it just waters them down so much where it's like oh no everything spider because like you think spider-man it's like kind of a sad feeling you get like it's good but and you know when you get the spider verses and stuff it's fantastic and the tom holland movies but it's all the other stuff so you get the animated and then selfishly that marvel animated studio needs to get some more i said it last week you need more than just like the uh what stuff. So you get X-Men in there. You get the Spider-Man animated. So that's that. I wasn't thinking which heroes would I want brought into 97.

I'm going to look here from the portal scene that I have up, drawn. I'm trying to think. I always loved the Avengers. I know they had the little Avengers series. You could get a couple of those guys. I'm just going to go. I want, say, in the X-Men universe I don't, I was looking it up And I guess Iceman was in it

And I think he left the X-Men in the cartoon I don't remember this He's a figure for sure I loved Iceman, he was one of my favorites When I had the toys, he was one of my go-to guys That I would play with And he's a big figure obviously in the movies With Bobby, and I like that actor

So I'd like it if, he's an original X-Man. So I like Iceman being more involved. I don't know where his story is in the X-Men. You could just reboot it. No one's going to, I don't think, say anything. But Iceman was my dude. And then finally, from Nick Davidson, what is your dream cameo in Deadpool 3?

And I really had to rack my brain for this, to be honest. There wasn't like one that came to mind is like, oh, I need to see so-and-so from X-Men or from the Fox Universe or Fantastic Four or whatever. I would like to see Taylor Swift, to be honest. Like, I know that's almost becoming a meme at this point. I think that would be really funny. And like, you would pay off this whole long going meme of ish. Will she, won't she,

whatever. Um, and we kind of got a little bit of this in she Hulk finale, but I kind of want to see Kevin Feige as himself. That would be good. I think that'd be really funny. It's kind of like Deadpool is the guy who breaks the fourth wall. Like go all the way with it.

We don't have, um, Stanley anymore. So it's like, we're getting the new stanley for the movies i like that so i had three um very different cameos here one i mentioned it i think when i blogged the deadpool um one of the trailers or something i would love it if uh i'm blanking on her name right now. His wife, Ryan Reynolds' wife, Blake Lively. Blake Lively comes in. Lady Deadpool. It's Lady Deadpool or it's his wife in another multiverse or something like that where she plays Vanessa.

Two, we already mentioned him, Mr. M, Mephisto. We love Mephisto. Fire, if there's some sort of like a nod of is it Mephisto. And then three, don't i think this could work because it's 20th century fox and deadpool was 20th century fox and then disney brought them both and i know it would be tough to get the actor because he's been battling some health issues somehow some way where we find out john mclean's a superhero john mclean well what was uh unbreakable he was a superhero in that that's true yeah he was not john mcclain

though you're john mcclain's your guy it's not just bruce willis it's mcclain he's kind of unbreakable too it's kind of the same guy if you think yeah pretty much yeah it's pretty similar um all right that was the uh mailbag edition of my mom's basement x-men invincible where this week we changed it up. We recapped the same episode of invincible. Yes. Hashtag beast, please.

If you made it to the end and we'll be back next week to break all of this stuff down. It'll be a good one next week. Cause it'd be right before WrestleMania. So hopefully, you know, I'll have won that 2k tournament by then. I'll probably be recording

from philly too i was also thinking this will be a little sneak behind the curtain for the basement listeners i gotta get a shirt made for that tournament right like a oh yeah custom shirt i was thinking do i do like foxamania like hulkamania or maybe hot rob instead of hot rod like roddy piper something over the top like that. You are the t-shirt design guy. One design a day for God knows how long. I have nothing but faith in you. All right.

Thank you guys for listening. We'll talk to you next week.
