Hey My Mom's Basement listeners, you can find our episodes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube, and Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. Hello and welcome to My Mom's Basement presented by Barstool Sports. I am your host Robbie Fox, and I'm in a new location today with my co-host Clem. I'm in the Chicago office, the Chicago Barstool office. It's my first day here. It feels like my first day of school, but it also feels nice getting to talk to you, Clem, and getting to feel a little comfortable again. Hey, it's Chicago Bob over here. How's it going, Bob? It's going all right. I am in Chicago. This is going to be kind of an abbreviated My Mom's Basement this week. It might be a little shorter.

I understand I'm also in a bit of an echoey room. I asked the people at the Chicago office, like, is there a room I could do a podcast in? And they gave me this one. It's a little dark. It's a little echoey. I think it might be like the new kid they shoved in the shitty closet. But I appreciate it. Everyone here has been very nice. And we have our show tonight. So this is probably going to come out on Saturday, June 1st.

May 31st, Pop Punk is playing Joe's on Weed in Chicago. And we sold the place out. We had 900 tickets for sale. Completely sold out. We had 900 tickets for sale, completely sold out. And I'm nervous. Clem, the last two mornings I've woke up throwing up just out of pure anxiety and adrenaline for this show,

but I think it's going to be fine. What's it? Not, not my guy, Bob Fox, not anxious. Bob Fox. No,

no, not this guy. The guy who ate a Floyd Mayweather seniors, you know, fake jab at his face. You put, you play one character on the internet, Bob, and you're quite another outside. But it's kind of cool that people get to hear this before the show because I'm going to make my prediction now. May 31st, tonight, Joe's on weed.

Robbie Fox is going to have his bite the head off a bad Ozzy Osbourne moment. I don't know what it is. You don't know what it is. It's just going to happen. And this anxiousness only fuels my belief that it is going to happen. I hope so. Once it's like going to the gym, it's like, you don't want to go to the gym. You don't want to go to the gym. You don't want to go to the gym. Once you're at the gym, you're like, all right, whatever. I'll work out. It's the same thing with music. Not that I don't want to be on stage, but I'm nervous about

being on stage, nervous about it, nervous about it. Once we're halfway through the first song, which is damn it by blink 182. Once we hit that stop on, he fucked it, nervous about it. Once we're halfway through the first song, which is Damn It by Blink-182, once we hit that stop on, he fucked her. Everything is fine. Everything calms down. We do have guest performances tonight. Max from Pardon My Take is coming up as Dave Roll of the Food Fighters.

We're doing monkey runs with him. We practiced the last two days. He's screaming his head off. He sounds great on it. For the first time ever, me and my brother are going to be on stage together. Usually Frankie will drum and sing Wagon Wheel at the same time. But tomorrow night, my brother is going to get behind the kit and Frankie is going to come to the front of the stage and sing Wagon Wheel. So it's, you know, a sentimental moment for the Fox boys as well. Big, big for the Fox family, the whole Fox family.

We haven't told anyone in the family we're not going to tell them until we have the video of us on stage together favorite song is she gonna cry she yeah she's a crier right i feel like mama i think so we know enough about her so that's awesome yeah that's awesome i'm just so proud of you kids i love you guys i love how you love each other i'm gonna say i am in Chicago, and that kind of lends well to the first topic that we're going to discuss today. The Bear Season 3. We talk about a lot of comic book stuff, a lot of nerd stuff in the basement. There's a few shows here and there that transcend what this podcast was originally based on, and that's The Bear for us.

We both love The Bear. It's one of our favorite shows on television. I think two perfect seasons so far. You could already, the second season was even better than the first. And we got the first look at season three. Obviously it ends with Carmi in the fridge, season two, and he's yelling at Claire's girlfriend and all that. Seems like season three is going to be almost all of Carmi's friends coming together to bring that relationship back, to get Carmi and claire back together feels like that's the end game for season three i hope it is at least but also like season two ended on such a kind of depressing note that i don't know maybe it'll get even sadder uh i'm

excited for it seeing the trailer it was like holy shit this is real it's coming and it's coming very soon so it's yeah like next month i think or i mean mean, June 1st, by the time this comes up, this month, it's later this month. It is so weird, this show, because like the first season, we both liked it. Again, I'll never forget Rico and Dante submitting dueling blogs about how good this show was within like 10 minutes of each other. And I'm like, what the fuck? And I had to watch it just because of that. And the first season was good. The second season, I think mainly from the Christmas episode on, was great. And I think that's where it became a show where everyone, you know, you'd hear about it at like, not for a lot,

but like ironically like Christmases and holidays and stuff like that. And I do think people who like, I know Kevin and Dave hated on it. I think if you watch season one, you're like, I don't see what the whole big deal is. And I think even if you start season two, you don't see it. I think after the Christmas, the Forks episode, and then all the way through the end,

you get to know so much more about these characters. There's so much more like background, why they are what they are. So I'm hoping season three just takes that, runs with it. Even if we get a season one level of quality, I'll be happy with it. I liked it from season one level uh of quality i'll be happy with it i i liked it from season one and i think they're only going to do easier three or four seasons is what the reports are saying so i mean enjoy while we have it so uh it's it's i i got to

try out the um the pizza out i think it's piquads is the name of it the thing that everyone told me to get that my stomach has been in knots since i got here so i haven't really been able to eat anything i haven't even been able to get a chicago beef which i really was looking forward to but you know you win some you lose some this is fucked up because if this came out on before the show i would have someone get you p quads throw it up on stage while you have the anxiety as it's gone from you and that would be your bite the head off. You're just eating a full deep dish. Yeah, no, like I said, you win some, you lose some. But I also imagine they can't do that many seasons of The Bear because I feel like everyone on this cast is blowing up to a level where they're not going to be able to pay them. Like from Cousin Richie to Jeremy Allen White himself and Ayo Ebideri, I think is how you say her last name.

She's in the new Inside Out. Jeremy Allen White's think is how you say her last name she's in the new inside out jeremy allen white's about to play bruce springsteen he's in the iron claw fucking cousin richie is the thing in the fantastic four so it's like everyone's blown up i know that they had roles prior to this like cousin richie was in girls and shit like that but like this show is a launching pad for talent yeah i, if you go back to our old podcast, we talk about him, we call him cousin in, what's it called? Andor. Andor.

And it's like, no, he's very much like people have to start learning his name. And I think we kind of even did the same with, I just call him the bear. I don't even call him Jimmy. No, his name is tough. Cousin Richie. He's like Ebon Moss Backrick or something like that. It's a little hard to say also it is breaking my brain a little bit that he's playing the thing and not paul walter hauser who's also in the movie it just seems like backwards casting but i'm sure he'll

crush it i mean i've never seen him in anything but the bear and andor but in both of those things i thought he was awesome say we want to say at the mcu they seldom miss with the uh castings that's that's like kind of their bread and butter. And that's a great transition to our next topic. Giancarlo Esposito has long been gunning for a spot in the MCU. He has long said he wants to play Professor X or Norman Osborn or Magneto. So many characters have been thrown out there. Doctor Doom is one of them.

Allegedly, according to the man himself, he has been cast in the MCU. He says that he'll debut in a movie and then a series will follow, but that's all he said. And the rumors right now is that he will debut in Captain America, Brave New World. We know that there's like, I think currently reshoots happening, because I think some of the storyline, like Falcon and and the Winter Soldier was unfortunately too much like real life. And they were like, I don't think we should touch on those topics right now.

I'm very excited, though. I am currently rewatching Breaking Bad. My girlfriend's never seen it. And we just got past all the Gus stuff. We're on season five now. That show really, I know we got him in the boys. We got him in all these great shows but that show reminds you how good of an actor he really is and this news coming right off the

heels of me watching gus's season his two seasons or whatever i'm really stoked i don't know who he would play because he also mentioned that it's not anyone he was rumored to play so like that unless he's lying that rules out professor x that might rule out norman osborne although some people are saying maybe norman still that would be kind of cool i don't know how he would debut in captain america unless it's like he bought tony's tower avengers tower something like that but i assume you're also excited about this news yeah i saw the like stunt double of of him and I don't know what character this could even be.

Oh, there's a stunt double of Giancarlo on set? I don't know how much of it's bullshit or whatever, but I went on Twitter. I didn't even see that. Yeah, so I'm looking at it now. You can tell. There's no character that they're linking him to, for sure.

I see some Norman Osborn stuff. He rules. We love him. He's so good. He makes you forget that Grand Morph Target is like... Not Morph Target. What's his name? Gideon. Gideon. He's Glass Joe

of the Star Wars universe. He has one in 99 career record. He fucking stinks, but the acting is so good, and he just carries himself so well. My wife and I are re-watching Sopranos now, or she's watching for the first time. I'm re-watching it. Believe it or not, I think it's actually aged poorly for me

in terms of the quality, and I'm kind of interested. I think it might go behind Breaking Bad for sure in my rankings. I'm going to have to re-watch Breaking Bad. Now, Wire's forever number one with a bullet. This kind of hammers home just how much better The wire is than sopranos in my mind so uh i feel like for me it was interesting because it feels like there's two halves pre-911 post-911 sopranos yeah yeah very different shows because it gets darker they get more into the terrorist stuff

with the fbi and stuff yeah exactly and that's probably just how how it really went in real life too even the wires kind of delve into that too where it's like they have all this stuff to counteract the drugs and then it just because it comes all anti-terrorism to early 2000s mid-2000s late 2000s a lot of fun a lot of fun went on around outside so uh but john coles video again open arms come to the mcu we love you welcome to the family uh i feel like like the MCU could basically do whatever they want right now. And the post X-Men 97 glow definitely helps. And I hope the Deadpool 3, you know, stuff helps as well. Well, how about Deadpool 3 debuting their new popcorn bucket? We heard a lot about this prior. We heard that it was designed by Deadpool. And when you hear that, you know, they're going raunchy. When you do it right after the dune popcorn bucket, you know, they're going fuckable.

And it's fuckable. I mean, Deadpool has designed a massive Wolverine popcorn bucket that is more or less like a blow up doll looking popcorn. It's Wolverine's face staring up at you and his mouth is just wide open. His tongue is on there. In the video they put out, they're pouring like slow motion popcorn and butter onto it. I think it's perfect for what the movie is. And the first thing I said to my brother when we watched the reveal together, I was like, oh my God, they're going to print money with this thing. They are going to print money. Everyone's going to want to buy it for the joke on fucking Wolverine's face. And it's crazy that that's the joke that we're making about an MCU movie all of a sudden, but it's the first

rated R1. It's fitting. I hate to say this and I can't believe these words are coming out of my mouth and I can't even be bonked for it, but I have to just let it be known. I was actually disappointed it wasn't even more fuckable. did you see the fake ones they had like a month ago where it was like it literally looked like it was like a fleshlight like it was yeah the only thing more fuckable than those fake ones was the actual dude bucket that they came out with i didn't notice the tongue so that actually helps a little bit and i guess now that you think mentioned it those like blow-up dolls which which just feels like the weirdest thing people could have ever thought. Those things, I guess, are actually real.

It does kind of look like that with the absurd mouth. So I guess in that sense, it was not going to, like, I don't think we were going to get something truly fuckable from the Disney. They were just not going to agree like that. And I can't even get on them. I'd love to give my Mickey Mouse voice and all the fucked up that they like do to make sure it doesn't hit the market that being said i i appreciate that they're doing i'm happy like you said printing money are you gonna get one i don't think i can get one to be honest like i would have bought the r2d2 one if my theater had it for the phantom menace there's just something i don't want to fuck a popcorn bucket you know like i don't judge people that do want to fuck one like i don't kink shame or

whatever but like i know that would just sit in my closet forever and i would never take it out again the old bar school i know i know a kid i know a kid young kid coming in actually got his big break when he didn't come for a certain amount of days he would have been fucking that popcorn bucket gave a whole blog on it you changed bob you've been now you're doing rock yeah you grew up a little bit yeah you know it's so fucked up i don't know if we ever mentioned this on the podcast but me and ken jack talked about it in the office a lot i think it was like the person behind amc or whoever came up with the dune popcorn bucket came out and was like, yeah, if we knew people were going to mock it and make memes, we would have never done that. What? Like who cares that they made memes? You sold way more of them because of the memes. I guarantee it. Like that's such a weird statement to come out with. It's not like people were like,

you really shouldn't have done that. We're judging you now. It was like a silly joke. You didn't need to make like an apology. It's like guy who invented like the reese's peanut butter cup was like well we didn't mean for the chocolate to go in the peanut butter it's like no no your whole reason for success is that it's like great yeah yeah dude you would have been incredible uh no matter what but it's that like you do not that person could probably have taken the success you just look at the bottom i'm like we made this much money on merch from the movie. You should now, after saying that, it should be held against you. It's like, oh, no, no, you're toxic.

It would be as if they didn't sell a single thing because you said it was basically dumb money. Everything at Barstool, it's funny. Anything bad that happens at Barstool, Dave can always weave it to make it a strength and become better from it. And this fucking person did the absolute opposite. That person should be fired on the spot.

Very strange statement. Also the only other Deadpool news, and I kind of like don't love this news, but it's out there and Ryan Reynolds said it. So I feel like we're talking about it. Rob McElhenney from Always Sunny in Philadelphia, welcome to Wrexham, will be making a cameo at some point.

I kind of wish we didn't find this out before the movie. Kind of wish it was just like, oh my God, god that's him but there's part of me that thinks ryan reynolds saying it before means we're not actually going to see his face i kind of think it's going to be like a pete davidson in guardians of the galaxy 3 cameo where it's like you can show up and put on an alien mask and be in the background of a scene and for for those that know, it's kind of a funny thing, but I don't think he'll have like a full character. I could be completely wrong. He could be a Deadpool variant for all I know, like Fat Mac Deadpool.

That would be incredible. I'm with you. This is the scary time here as we get into the homestretch before the movie comes out, where you're going to get potentially stuff spoiled for you. I mean, how I walked into Endgame without knowing all the shit that was about to go in there. It's like a miracle looking back, right? So the fact that it's – when you said that we were going to talk about this,

I didn't realize it was Ryan Reynolds himself who said it. So when I saw that, I said, ah, fuck, someone saw a leak on set or something like that. Ryan Reynolds said it, yeah. Radar's up. This guy – You're still deficient, yeah. Yes.

And now I'm, like, excited to see how it's going to be, because it's going to be something that is probably going to hurt Rob McElhaney's feelings, you know, in a buddy kind of way. I still like, I'll go to the end of your saying, I feel like Blake Lively is going to be in it. I feel like, and I'm still expecting Dazzler. I'm still expecting Taylor Swift. So am I.

I really think she's going to be in the first post credit scene. People are saying the word from the leakers about the first post-credit scene or it's something that's played for a joke that they could come back on later and be make serious. And also we have no idea how it hasn't leaked yet. Every leakers like we have no idea how this hasn't gotten out yet. That to me seems like Taylor Swift is going to make a cameo and it's going to be played for a joke. And then later, if they want to make her Dazzler, they can do that. I really believe that.

And we had the rumors about Taylor Swift being on Disney+. I might have said it last week. I don't think that's true. I think that's a smokescreen to get us off the Dazzler stuff. I don't think if you have Taylor Swift agreeing to be the lead in an MCU project, you waste the box office potential. I think you have to put it in movies, especially considering the heiress tour, the folklore concert, and another, I think ever more concert are already specials on Disney plus Taylor Swift fans have subscribed to Disney plus they have it. They got them in the bag. Exactly. Yeah. Um, let's tell the people

about game time. One of our favorite sponsors of all time, obviously. Did you know you can get tickets to Billy Joel at Soldier Field, which Clem is trying to go to, for 163 bucks right now? Not just Billy Joel either. It's Billy Joel and Stevie Nicks. That's a concert of a lifetime, venue of a lifetime, right after The Dozen. If you're going to be in town for The Dozen Live, I think it'll line up very well. It's on the 21st. But that's game time.

If you keep an eye on it, well, I guess this will come out after the show. I was going to say keep an eye on it. Maybe someone will put their pump tickets for sale. I already saw someone on Twitter being like, I guess this will come out after the show. So I say keep an eye on it. Maybe someone will put their pump tickets for sale. I already saw someone on Twitter being like, I need two tickets for tonight. And I'm not going to lie. Like, I feel bad for that guy if he wants to come and can't come. But there was part of me that it warmed my heart of like, we've never really sold out anywhere.

We came super close our first show. We were under 100 tickets away from selling out Irving Plaza, which was crazy. House of Blues was way bigger we have we've had free shows that they say we can't let any more people in but this is you know it's a big moment for the band selling out so go help Billy Joel sell out I'm sure it's a big moment for him as well not only the game time oh I can't wait for that show man I'm I I feel like I can only go to that show if we win the dozen. I feel like that is a victory treat or something like that. It's like going to Disney World or something.

I'm going to Billy Joel. Thank you, Game Time. We could even make an ad out of it. I feel like Portnoy has to be at Billy Joel. I feel like he's a big guy too. I mean, Big Cat is notoriously a die-hard Fleetwood guy. But I feel like Dave has to be a Minnesota. Who is it?

Those are two universal artists right there. If you don't like them, I am judging you. I saw Billy Joe with Elton John, which was incredible. Then to see him with Stevie Nicks, which that's the other thing, too. It's like I could see a Fleetwood tribute band, but I want to see Stevie. I want to see Stevie. Yeah. Yeah.

I saw Fleetwood on their last door me and Ron went together yeah I wasn't yeah that's great before Christine McVie passed away obviously so she's singing all her songs on the piano songbird and everywhere and stuff is a great show um all right back to some of the topics we're talking about another project that kind of transcends comic book um nerdy stuff for us, the Knives Out franchise. I love the Knives Out franchise so much. The first one is one of my favorite movies. Glass Onion is, I think, a great movie, not Knives Out level, but I love everything they did with it. I love the cast of it. I love Kate Hudson's character in that movie so much. And she's like, her her assistant's like please don't tell me you think sweatshops are where they make sweats she's like i'm sorry like everything about i love the

knives out movies and knives out three is going crazy with casting this week the current knives out three cast i don't even have in front of me but i believe it's uh glenn close we've got uh o'connor josh o'connor from Challengers, which I watched pretty good. Jeremy Renner, which is very funny because he has Jeremy Renner's hot sauce in Glass Onion. So I'm sure that they'll play off that in some way. Mila Kunis, who I haven't seen in a big movie in a while. I feel like I haven't seen her in a big movie since like Ted. I know she did a bad bad moms. I think was a franchise she was a part of, but I personally haven't seen her in anything in a while. Kaylee Spaney, the girl who played Priscilla in the

Sofia Coppola movie. There's rumors about Tom Hardy and Lindsay Lohan being added to the cast, both of which sound almost too good to be true, but perfect for a Knives Out movie. It just seems like they're building another amazing cast. It's called Wake Up Dead Man, which is the name of a U2 song. Knives Out was a Radiohead song. Glass Onion's a Beatles song. This one being a U2 song. Maybe it takes place in the 90s.

I'm not quite sure. It will be also Jeremy Renner's first role since his accident. Oh, shit. Yeah, that's true. The cast reveal is like my favorite part of the knives that moves which i love as well i love the first one the second one i liked i liked i didn't love it as much as the first but still very good and you just love seeing all those actors just passing the ball to each other doing their thing i wish i wish because i like it was on

netflix right it came out it was a huge thing with Glass Onion. I wish it would come out like the week between Christmas and New Year's, and we could all just watch it that day and just have like basically an internet day where everyone watches. Or you could go to the theater if they want to, you know, release in the theater a little bit. And I think that could be, because I always say Bird Box came out. Everyone watched it that one little week.

And it had memes. and had like all this thing and everyone was like, it wasn't that good of a movie, but we all just enjoyed watching it together. I wish we could do that and this would supercharge it because you have these great names, director, you know, fucking.

I think Glass Onion was kind of similar to the timeline you're describing though. I'm pretty sure it came out right before Christmas. I remember I watched it with my, so it came out in theaters for a week and I went and saw it in theaters because i love these movies so much so i was like i would like to see that on the big screen and then i think we watched it yes when we were like with my girlfriend's family december maybe yes that's what it was it says here uh release date september december 23rd i also see november 23rd but i it must have been one of the

theaters probably in September and then in December is when it came out. But that's how I would like it every single time. It's basically like a Christmas movie, even though it's not made to sit around Christmas. And you just, it's kind of the thing we all kind of get around. And I mean, I'll keep watching. You can make a hundred

of these. Like make a hundred. I want to see one with just the Muppets too. I want Benoit Blanc to go solve a Muppet murder. i'm not the first person to have that idea it's on twitter it's like a popular fan theory that would be amazing benoit the only human in the movie i'm not even going to try my ben wop i haven't heard the benoit blanc accent long enough i can't even try right now it's so real people like oh it's not good it's just that's like it's just fun man just have fun it's great also fights had a good tweet about this where he was like i love how daniel craig was so sick of being in a big franchise james bond that he did this weird whodunit with ryan johnson

and now he's stuck in the middle of another big franchise it's mince everything he does just turns to gold dude if he doesn't oh happy birthday mincy happy birthday, Mincy, by the way. Mincy's birthday. I got to text Mincy. He texted me on my birthday. I have to text him back. People, a little cross-promotion here. I listened to the dog walk interview Eddie had with him this week. It is must-listen. It explains why Ben

Mintz is who he is, which is he's been him, Ben Mintz, forever. It's crazy. The twists, three different uh runs through old miss at college uh poker drop it out uh working like as a pizza guy and just like failing upwards in some crazy spots in life his mom's like a super successful lawyer it's incredible it's much better ben mints needs to be in the next knives out movie there you go he would be great in a Knives Out movie.

And he could be the guy that gets killed. And then the reveal at the end is there was no killer. He was just doing something stupid. Tell me him as Benoit Blanc's, like, brother or cousin or something like that. Hey, Benoit, how's it going? What's up, fellas? Benoit just – Daniel Craig does that. Oh, so good.

Lindsay Lohan does feel like the hammer. I feel like all these castings have the hammer. And it would be a Travolta Pulp Fiction kind of shit, right? Yes. Lohan, she's been in like Netflix makes Hallmark movies now. They're not made by Hallmark, but they're the quality of Hallmark movies. And it's almost like they acknowledge that and they're trying to make kind of cheesy, bad movies, romance movies. And Lindsay Lohan's in everyone. My girlfriend loves them. I see him. She's not a great actress in any of them, but I don't think

there's great direction. I don't think anyone in them are great actors. I feel like with Rian Johnson in this cast, she would be able to kind of come back. Now I have a bunch of animated stuff. I don't even want to like necessarily talk about every topic, but I'll just rattle the topics off and you tell me which one interests you. We got a Moana 2 trailer, which Moana 2 is originally supposed to be a Disney Plus series that they kind of restructured into a movie, which makes me a little nervous about it. The live action Moana starts shooting this fall. Another one that I'm kind of nervous about considering I don't feel like Disney's ever done a live action version of a cartoon that's as good as the original, let alone better. New Incredibles movie is being considered.

I kind of thought that was in pre-production regardless. There's a Minecraft animated series in the work. The actual Minecraft movie is wrapped filming um inside out 2 might get a spin-off series after the movie drops and there is a possible new movie happening in the finding nemo universe which really made me laugh because a possible new movie in the ocean is what you're saying you're like you might do another fish movie but you're like in the universe of Finding Nemo it's the ocean you could two birds one stone throw some of them in the Moana movie and then you have that that could be like the post-credits scene is like after it ends you go down water you see some you know turtle or something like that and there we have a stingray or something I'll start with the fish what about eyepatch fish he's a team i like that uh school

a little dad joke for you again this this is the dad of me i blogged the moana when moana i remember i was out in chicago i got off the plane i saw that there was a moana movie coming out moana too i was like what the fuck i thought the jet lag hit me I think that was I was in San Diego so I was very confused get the trailer obviously the news has come out just don't fuck it up man I know like I could watch it once and I'll be like oh that was terrible I'll never think of it again but there will be occasionally the part of me it's like oh yeah they made a sequel to this a second one and this happens and I just I do not like when they just have to motherfuck all their great original movies and I personally think Frozen 2 sucked.

I don't know anyone who would like that. Frozen 2 was like when people kept telling me Kanye was still making great music, I'm like, what are you guys listening to? I was like, I remember the original Kanye shit. It was awesome and I think history has kind of proven me right. I'm not going to get into Kanye West banter right now on the podcast. And I think history has kind of proven me right. I'm not going to get into Kanye West banter right now

on the podcast. So it's the same kind of shit. And Toy Story 4, they just motherfucked that after they nailed it perfectly. Nailed the landing in Toy Story 3. And 5 is on its way too. Exactly. So our boy Lin-Manuel isn't doing the music. I mean,

the biggest of red flags. Because Moana is like a lot of Disney movies. They're pretty fucking awesome just with the characters they have, the animation, the story. But it's the music that kind of that's the reason Lion King was my goat all these years, and that's the reason Moana topped it. And this is coming from

a guy who holds the Lion King to the highest of standards. I have Moana the number one Disney movie of all time, and I'm just like, why does that need to have a sequel made for it? I think it ended perfectly. We don't need to go deeper into that. So we can talk about the rest of this stuff. That clearly hits me the hardest.

The fucking live action. I'm just going to act like it didn't even happen. If the reviews come out incredible, I'll watch it. I'm acting like it's not even a true thing. It just doesn't seem like a movie that even lends itself to live action to feedy and fucking the way that she lays down at the end and forms the island.

And like the way the water moves, there's so much stuff that I can't imagine looking good in a live action movie. Yeah, exactly. And for the people who are listening or watching this pod and have not seen Moana, must watch. Tagging it with must watch.

Truly one of the best Disney movies ever made. And I've watched it more than almost any other. Yeah, exactly. I don't throw around, like, the Mount Rushmore in my rankings lightly. Number one with a bullet. Best Disney movie, in my opinion. And it's one of those things, too, where Moana 2 is going to come out, and some parents are going to have that movie stuck on their tv no matter what because their kids want to watch it and like when that happened to us when sienna was two years old it was incredible

because we all love moana these poor motherfuckers who are going to have kids you know in a couple years and then they just have this you don't want to have that happen so and kind of just going off of that going off of the two moana things, Incredibles, I saw the reboot potential, this Finding Nemo. And then inside out, like a TV show. Come up with new ideas. Why can't they just come up with new ideas? I actually like the idea of you make the movie, the movie hits, and then you can make a Disney Plus series off it, get people on the streaming and whatever. Just don't make the movies and the other like big things.

Cause then it's like, I'm going to have to see it. I'm going to hate it. And then I'm going to end up hating the original a little more because of it. So I don't know what happened to Disney or in Hollywood in general. I just feel like originality is dead. I don't know what happened either. Cause some of their original ones haven't been quite the quality of like the best ones. Like some of their original ones I think are great, but didn't even

perform as well. Might be a COVID thing. Might be something else. Luca, I thought was really good. I thought Soul was awesome. Nobody talks about those movies. Is Onward Disney? It is. I thought that one was great too. That one has an all-time Disney crime moment at the end too.

I can't talk about that right now oh no that's what if you haven't seen onward and you have a brother oh my god it'll wreck you it'll absolutely wreck you um all right the acolyte the new star wars series which debuts in just a couple days this week they're doing a 9 p.m release which i love as well um it's getting really good reviews really really good reviews now i say that literally one minute ago ken jack texted me and he we got screeners as always i'm not going to watch the screeners i'm going to watch it with you guys ken jack said i may be a little premature here this is kind of ass oh that hurts that really hurts i don't i don't love to hear that from ken jack especially because i feel like our we don't always align.

But I feel like our Star Wars opinions are pretty, pretty close. The stuff we like is very similar. I was worried when I saw the initial reviews. I'm not I'm not even lying. When I saw they invited a lot of fans to the premiere, a lot of like Star Wars influencer fans, and all of them had very similarly worded tweets. And I don't even think it's a, I don't think it's a Disney telling them say this and this and this and bullet points. But I think there's a human thing about being at the premiere and being invited by Star Wars and you want to like it so much that you almost convince yourself you do like it. And that's how a lot of the tweets read to me. So I'm still holding out hope that this is going to be a cool murder mystery show and different martial arts style

Jedi combat different look at the universe but I'm not gonna lie I'm worried I'm definitely worried I don't want it to be a stinker uh worry meter one to ten what are you right now four because you know what I don't think uh if it were like an obi-wan or something like that my worry meter would be higher the fact that it's all new characters clean slate 100 years before the phantom menace kind of puts it in its own universe where if it's really bad it can kind of just exist over there and i could cast it off you know know? Yeah. I'm like a six now after hearing this from Ken Jack. I was probably like a four. You said it.

You're like, hey, the reviews have been coming in so far and they're pretty good. This was a couple of days ago. And you said, but I also have to admit, Star Wars fans, they could just be saying that. Before, this is my new thing with Star Wars franchises. I need to know if the person has any sort of Star Wars tattoo on their body. I have to hear their opinions on The Last Jedi, and I have to hear their opinions on The Rise

of Skywalker. Those are your non-negotiables, to bring it back to the bear season 3. Non-negotiables, exactly. And you know what? Fuck it. Let's throw the sequel trilogy in there, too. Let's get their thoughts on it. What are your thoughts on it? And then you take all that and if you

have a bunch of tats, like my boy Robbie has his lightsaber, and you love the prequels, you love the sequels, I'm going to take it with a grain of salt. If you have a tattoo, that's fine. But it's like, if you're just a little more grounded in your approach to it all, I'm not saying you have to be like me, who says there's

more bad Star Wars movies than good Star Wars movies. Don't say that on the podcast anymore. I don't like that. I don't like that being on our airwaves. That's, I just heard Mama Fox is angry. That came out. Don't be fresh.

Don't be fresh, Cladham. So, now let me say this. Hopeful optimism. Hopeful optimism. Jeff just said, how far into it are you? And Ken Jack said, halfway into episode one. Something that all the good reviews said was that it starts a little slow and by episode two, you're into it. And that's good.

So maybe not take that with a grain of salt, but maybe take that with a grain of salt. He's only 30 minutes into, you you know every episode is 60 minutes i think so we're gonna say maybe in episode one it's a little clunky there's like uh you gotta introduce tons of new characters a new environment a new jedi order kind of because it's the high republic era the end of that i like the look of it i gotta be honest like they didn't use the volume for any of it and i think it looks pretty pretty good looks pretty physical i like the jedi robes they're wearing the gold high republic robes and a lot of it it looked cool i i'm gonna make a prediction now episode one little goofy little clunky there's like a goofy character it's kind of like childish and then in episode two you're

like oh here we go more of the same crap And then all of a sudden that goofy character turns, and it turns out it was Darth Charger all along. I'll give it a shot, but I'll be honest, Bob, so we have in June, we're going to talk some Bear at some point, probably like a season-ending wrap, because they're dropping them all, which I hate. I hate it.

If Bear had, if they had season two and they had dropped the Christmas episode and then the Forks episode back-to-back, it would have been the biggest talking point on TV, Twitter, or whatever the fuck is out there these days during that run. They did not do that, and I think it's going to kind of get lost in the shuffle again. So we have that. We have House of the Dragon, which we'll be doing every Sunday night. We have – what's the other show we have? The Boys, which is – I mean has a very high volume.

That's another one. So that's doing a three episode premiere i feel like we could probably do one on that and then maybe like wait for an arc to end or do quick hitters on the boys per episode the acolyte is a two episode premiere another thing where is disney like do they know the first episode's slow and are they like we'll give you the first two up front it's kind of what they did with obi-wan and the first one had the leia flea chase sequence in the fucking forest now that being said if they acknowledge that why are you making shows with a slow first episode just bring it start it with episode two well maybe what they should have done with the prequels too you can make it work with

writing right you can make it work with writing and or well how about this like just give us a previously on for a show that's never started before previously yes this is the good guy you know that was absolutely called the crawl yeah exactly we did this already you guys we did this that's what's so up to quote uh peter griffin in the return of the jedi family guy he's like we did this already that's what's so up you know I, the other side of it is when you're like, somehow, I came and say his name just returned. They almost did the opposite of it. So, uh, this is like you saying it, you saying it wrong is like the wrong pronunciation has returned to the

podcast. It works. This is by far like by fourth on my power rankings of what I'm looking forward to talking about in June. And I mean, like, I don't know how it could slide to fifth, but I feel like Deadpool rumors are going to happen. I'm very worried about it right now. I'm an eight. I'm an eight in worry. Well, how about this? I got something to completely turn it around.

The last topic we're going to talk about today. I saved the best for last specifically for you, Clem. This topic is going to make Clem so happy. They are in development on the Lanterns television series under DC. What we heard about this, there's going to be two Green Lanterns, and it was kind of pitched as like a true detective style show about a murder that takes place on Earth, and they got to come down and check it out and investigate it. Everything James Gunn has been saying about it sounds awesome. Clem, they just

hired two unbelievable writers to helm this show. Damon Lindelof, the man behind Lost, the man behind The Leftovers, the man behind Watchmen, which we loved on HBO, and Chris Mundy, who I'm not familiar with, but you got to be familiar with as a writer on Ozark. They're saying a true detective style show from the creator of Watchmen and Ozark. Are you kidding me? This sounds amazing. Those are, I mean, it's funny

because I just finished Ozark not too long ago and I only watched Watchmen once and that was a while ago. And it also, we didn't pot on it. I mean, those are two, maybe in terms of dramas, top 10 to 20 in my book, just off the top of my head. It's hard to say, because like, again, we're talking Sopranos, Wire, fucking Breaking Bad,

you know, Mount Rushmore shit, Game of Thrones when it was good. Damn, that's, the Watchmen show, it's good, I think they're just gonna end with that one season they're never gonna go back it is one of my favorite honestly they shouldn't they shouldn't go back it's the perfect mini series yeah it was i love that shit that was when we first started getting the woke gopher bro those are probably disney's like we're not coming in with any more shit because everyone's gonna call us woke if we you know add any more uh you know franchises

in this shit um okay i lanterns has has uh is higher than acolyte in my book i'm more excited on the draft board top of the draft board all right uh i know it's an abbreviated my mom's basement this week it's a little shorter than usual apologies for that i literally got to go to the music store right now and buy frankie a of stuff. So we're going to call it a show. And hopefully by the time this comes out, pop punk crushed it at Joe's on weed. Maybe, maybe I'll be able to like throw a little clip at the end or something. And this anger, and this anger, and this anger

I'm in trouble now And this anger, and this anger And this anger What it takes, what it takes Don't wanna be your monkey baby Don't wanna be your monkey friend I wanna be your man I wanna be your man The wind will never come to be a finger in all that's written

We'll see, we'll keep walking, we'll away, think I'm all I have I keep on living, keep on keeping it down Lost my mind in vain, but it's all I have to miss now For I ain't a turning back, turn to the man I know I keep on living, keep on keeping it down Oh, I'm being a man I'm being a man hashtag bat bite bob i can't wait to see your mom i love it the bad maybe that's how you become the batman chicago yeah true and the dark knight was filmed here every time i'm like on a different street i'm like oh dark knight feels like dark knight feels like dark knight um next week with an acolyte two episode recap so everything we said and the last thing i heard from ken jack is uh uh it's like if

cw made a star wars show that makes me Wars show. That makes me a little bit worried, but knock on wood, fingers crossed. We'll see you next week.
