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.
We put out sort of a 10-minute botched version of the commentary track that we tried to lay down, but I'm here with my main man Clem, and we're finally doing this Infinity War commentary.
The Infinity War commentary got snapped. Who could have saw that one coming upset of the century and like this isn't some rinky dink old school barstool production here i mean we had a legit copy
i mean obviously who heard the the lost tapes has heard we had the the legit downloaded copy
we had we were in a studio a podcast studio recording this next to each other and as just
shit hits the fan halfway through it it stalled out your computer
like overheated basically it died you were on like a 10 year old laptop and now you have a brand
spanking new macbook and we're gonna be doing this on skype so god knows what's gonna happen
on this commentary but hey let's just keep watching infinity war i'll keep doing that
yeah and it's almost maybe more appropriate now i think we'll watch a lot of things and point out a lot of things, especially towards the end of the movie and maybe more so the beginning of Endgame that we're like, yeah, this is the world we're living in now.
It just sucks.
Everything sucks.
The villains have won and we need those support group meetings held by Captain America.
So we have pulled this up on Netflix.
Just a reminder, Infinity War is still on Netflix.
It's not on Disney Plus yet.
So that is where you're going to want to pull it up and queue it up with us.
We'll do a quick countdown.
I'll say 3, 2, 1, play.
And as I say play, you're going to hit play at home,
and we'll be queued up for this thing.
It's a two-hour, what is this, two hours, 29 minutes,
including credits and whatnot.
Should be fun.
Clem, you ready?
We're ready.
All right.
3, 2, 1, play you ready we're ready all right three two one play and we're off that's almost like the rock paper scissor shoot rock paper says shoot or just rock paper scissor and then you
shoot that yeah that felt like some people some people like go on go or go on one or you always
have to clarify guys today i'm gonna be'm going to be eating a... Whoa.
Just had a TikTok just auto-start.
Alright,
we got a new game for you.
Oh man.
This is one thing
that Marvel has already done better
than Star Wars
is just like the little
pre-rolls they have
into the movies now,
you know?
Yeah, the pre-roll
they've perfected,
especially the Captain Marvel one they did
where they replaced everyone with Stan Lee.
Oh!
That was so all-time.
So you just start off...
So, all right, so I'm just going to say everything I said
in the first Infinity War,
because I don't know what I said and what I didn't.
Yeah, we might run into that. Whatever.
Yeah. I realized how sick and twisted
and how much I love this movie
is when the sound of the Asgard
distress signal gets me off.
I'm like, oh!
I feel butterflies in my stomach
as I watch people like,
we need help! We're dying!
And that's just this movie's effect.
The first scene here always
reminds me so much more so than any other scene in the movie of the first time that i watched it
in a theater like that distress signal here you have the children of thanos and thanos walking
through and thor's still there all messed up like this reminds me of sitting in the theater for the
first time being like oh shit the infinity war is about to go down yeah like you're of sitting in the theater for the first time being like, oh, shit, the Infinity War is about to go down.
Yeah, like you're – we're in the shit.
Like we see – obviously you're about to find out Thanos already has the first stone and you're just like, oh, it's like that.
Like the war has already started.
There's already a ton of casualties and I'm just going to come off the top and say it.
You alluded to it earlier.
We are in coronavirus world right now.
This is a tough time to be a thanos guy i'm i'm as big as a thanos guy literally and figuratively as you can basically be
and it's a tough look right now like the whole kill half humanity thing like we're just sitting
in our houses as like 0.01 of humanity is going down and I feel like a piece of shit. So this is going to be a tough look.
But it will make the ending of Endgame so much better.
And I'm already thinking of all the memes
that will come out of COVID-19
when we eventually get to come out of the house.
And it's like, on your left,
it's like my boys coming out of the portals.
God, I love that stupid fucking meme whoever like is like the guy that invents
the cure the vaccine whatever that is the new falcon or whatever you want to say coming out
of the thing that's what we need to say yeah i so i've i i don't know if it's going to be in a in a
series and an animated short and something i need to see see Thanos go to Xandar, get the Power Stone.
I need to see how that went down.
Again, I'm a Thanos guy.
I feel like we can't be done with Thanos ever in the MCU.
Obviously, I don't want him in movies and all that kind of stuff, but I want Thanos.
I want to see how he got that.
I did see Josh Brolin just came out
and said that he would like to continue playing
Cable in the MCU. Someone said,
you know, are you going to do both?
And I don't see an issue with that. I can't imagine anyone else
would. Nope, I'm 100%
fine. I think it's a little different than if, like,
Chris Evans became Human Torch down the road,
because that's the same dude without
makeup and CGI and all that shit.
Totally. Like, you could tell when you look at Thanos up close.
Like, oh shit, yeah, they kind of made him look like Josh Brolin.
They gave him the exact same facial reactions.
But it's not, you don't look at Thanos and go, oh, Josh Brolin.
It's not that recognizable.
Loki, you fucking scoundrel.
What a guy.
Can you imagine if you brother's with Loki?
It's like this guy just keeps fucking up.
I know.
Just keeps fucking doing dumb shit.
I wonder what the Tesseract looks like on set.
I'm sure there's videos of them in the green screen.
Just holding a green cube, maybe.
I kind of want to see that.
So this is the point.
This is when we notice,
at least for me, like I wasn't a huge
Thanos guy with the comic books, all that stuff,
and I had heard how big it was, but I
never really knew. When I saw what he did to
the Hulk here, I go, oh, we have a
problem right now.
And this is Ragnarok
Hulk. He's basically Barry Bonds
2001 era. And he's just
getting fucking his pepper
sauce. Give me a good fighting
word for that. We can just get your ass kicked
in the fighting world. Mollywopped?
I love Mollywopped.
Yeah, I like a good Mollywopped. It's not necessarily
fighting specific, but you can use it
for fighting. It always works. Sent to the Shadow Realm? That's a good mollywop. It's not necessarily fighting specific, but you can use it for fighting. It always works.
Sent to the shadow realm, that's a good one.
And yeah, like you said,
the way he just dismantles him, really,
and is so technical with everything
he does. The Hulk is just a brawler, you know,
using that brute strength, throwing
everything he's got, and Thanos is like punching
him in the jugular.
Execution.
I saw a post recently.
Heimdall is kind of the original rat that turns on the device in the truck for Ant-Man
because without Heimdall, Thanos is coming down and the Avengers don't even know it.
Thanos, that's a clean sweep.
4-0, you know, 20 point win
every single game for Thanos
He sacrificed his life
for the good of the realm in the end
Very noble
This is a
really
We know what happens to Thor
in Endgame and just the way he is
I kept thinking how that was
because he could have been the one to take down Thanos I forget that he loses his best friend and
his half brother in the fucking first five minutes of the movie yeah it all starts with him yeah and
like half his people too like he let the all the guardians down as their is he like pronounced
their king at the end of Ragnarok I don't remember I think pretty much or if he's not if it's not King Thor it's like we're all king we're all equal I forget because I haven't
seen it in a while but I think it pretty much has that sentiment Idris Elba also COVID-19 guy
yeah that was the top thank god Tom Hanks came first but Stringer Bell getting it really shifted
to my as well and speaking of shaking to the core, that fucking cube caused nothing but chaos and mayhem.
And I'm like, that's the most powerful thing in the universe.
And then the guy just breaks it with his hand.
Like it's chalk or something.
It's the way it just disintegrates.
Oh, my God.
It's like, oh, that was the whole first Avengers movie, bro.
We worked so hard.
He just crunches it.
I mean, I'm sure the powers don't help a little bit on that, but nonetheless, that's just a baller move.
I'll be right back.
I left my green tea in the other room.
Oh, the green tea.
The old, the O-face.
The Thanos O-face is every time he puts a, I just need to get a compilation of all the Thanos O- face is every time he puts up.
I just need to get a compilation of all the Thanos old faces every time he throws a stone in.
The stone face.
Thanos' children love these guys.
Actually, I take that back.
I only like my guy, Ebony Maw.
The rest, kind of trash.
Yeah. Yeah.
Loki.
I would have loved a good heel turn by Loki here
because it would have been so on character
on point.
I'm so
torn on Loki because it is the
same shit every time where he always is just such
a motherfucker, but he just does
I mean, it's such a good character and he's so well acted and it's like and it's he's like a good he's like a
good heel in wrestling where when he is a good guy you love him you know what i mean like when
when the rock would become a good guy like oh this is fun the rock's on our side right now
yeah and you like that's kind of a tough one for loki and the rock is the high point of just life basically but still. I feel like in his
show they're finally gonna give us
like a Loki to
root for. One where we could undoubtedly
every episode in and out
say like alright
he might be going about things
in some shady ways but he's still like the guy
that we're rooting for here. Because everyone loves Tom
Hiddleston like you said everyone loves the character
everyone wants to root for him, even though he
keeps turning heel in every fucking movie.
I remember putting
so much cadence or
credence, whatever the word is, into the
line, no resurrections here, when it
happened, being like, oh, and that's it for Tom Hiddleston
and the MCU. Wrong.
Very much wrong. You're going to see more of loki they're gonna see basically everyone else in this movie in the
coming months and years what now what's the deal with us and there it is that was a sweet like the
old neck chokeout crunch you don't get that off in a movie and i did appreciate that loki went out
like a real real g and also so brutal to begin the movie setting the tone
early. Yeah, it's like, oh,
we just lost two, you know,
one, I don't know, tier three, tier
four character, but this is like Loki's tier
two, I'd say. Yeah, definitely.
And the Hulk just got his
dick kicked in. Like, that's all Thanos did
and we haven't even gotten to the title
screen yet now at this point what do you think thanos is on like the power stone do you think he knows what
he's doing with this thing or like is he just like i feel like there was a better way to go
about blowing down up that ship i feel like he's still like getting the instruction manual down
yeah he probably could have disintegrated it if he really knew what he was doing. Like, it could have been all in one snap, no pun intended.
But I think there he might have just been like, let me do it in the coolest, most dramatic, cinematic way possible.
Purple flames.
Purple flames.
I also like how Loki always, like, starts looking like a dark elf the minute he dies, which is like every fucking movie he's in.
Like, he instantly looks like that.
So is that the sun he just went past there?
I've never even like thought about that before.
Yeah, I guess I didn't think about that either, but I think it is.
There's New York City as we once knew it.
There's people in the street there.
What the fuck's going on? I know, it's still so weird looking out my window every morning i'm not i don't yet dude i'm in the
burbs obviously and i i'd be losing my mind in the city a seeing all the lack of people there and b
just being in just an apartment like we go on walks now which is which is how you know we're
in tough times when i'm just i. I've been going on walks too.
I feel like I'm losing my mind.
I think I was texting Spider.
We were just checking in with each other and he was like, how are you doing?
And I was like, dude, I wake up every morning at 7 a.m.
and I feel like I have a math test.
I just have that anxious energy in my chest.
I go for a walk or whatever, go up to my roof, walk around there.
Such a good goddamn song.
Such a good song.
That's not John Williams, is it?
No, no.
Let me get the actual composer's name
because we should give him a shout out
for coming up with so many
friggin' amazing themes
and it's been the same guy
for a lot of these movies.
Yeah, like like there's
really like john williams is such the goat in that things but there are times where you do get like
even when uh though that scene comes but like just the way that they cue some of the the musical
spots in the this movie just fucking nail it yeah that that is uh alan sylvestri sylvestri yep did he do back to the
future i think this might have actually been like a question we had a debate we had in the first
time we watched it so i'm looking at his thing he's done a ton of movies he did some spielberg
stuff it looks like he did do force come back to the future ready player one predator um night at Predator Night at the Museum movies Let me look for Gump
Flight
He did the A-Team remake with
Rampage Jackson in it, yikes
I forgot about that, holy shit
Oh, Lilo and Stitch
Very underrated movie
Never saw
He did Cast Away
Guy follows Hanks around apparently
The Parent Trap, yeah.
This guy's had some career in Hollywood.
Yeah, he did do Gump.
You were correct on that one.
And he crushes in Gump.
He did Gump.
He did both of the Back to the Future movies.
Or all three actually.
Who Framed Roger Rabbit, yeah.
I mean he's basically like i
mean he's different than john williams i'd say in terms of like the you know the production and
stuff in the movies mario lemieux
rob he's breaking out the sports cop on today's my mom's racing yes it's like his stats are
unbelievable he just unfortunately is playing in an era where people aren't going to talk about him. Yep. I love that there when Tony Stark says, I had this dream and we had a kid named Morgan,
which obviously it harkens back to both the comic books where it's his brother, right?
I think his brother is Morgan and then obviously Morgan in Endgame. Spoiler alert.
I also have this weird issue where every time I see Pepper Potts, I'm like, I love Pepper Potts the character, but I feel like I would hate Gwyneth Paltrow the human.
I know. With the goop lab and all that on Netflix. Every time I hear that, the goop lab. Goop. Ugh, what a gross word.
So have you heard about the deleted scene in this movie between tony stark and dr strange
i don't believe so no i'll wait till we get to that point to point it out because it's not too
far away from where we are now but kevin smith spoke about it on a podcast recently it's pretty
interesting there's the scene where dr stranger's getting tortured tortured by Ebony Maw and he's saved by Peter Parker and Tony Stark,
that went a little bit differently in the original draft.
And apparently they filmed it as well,
like the original thing that they put in there.
So when we get to that, remind me,
and I'll talk about how it was a little different.
Just a meeting of the minds of just pure assholes right here.
I mean, it's tough to say who... I think Tony Stark's probably the bigger asshole.
But who's more arrogant?
I mean, probably Tony Stark, too.
There's also some level of like, yeah, he's Tony Stark.
He can be arrogant.
Saved the world a few times.
Saved the world in Avengers, you know, probably in Age of Ultron as well.
Probably would have saved the world in this one
if certain steve guy named steve listen don't bring it's coming up it's definitely peter's
problem in this one if we're bringing up anyone peter quill oh fucking let me let me punch this
guy in the head i thought you're going at peter park i'm like damn we're going we're throwing
spidey under the bus you're wearing a spidey shirt right now. No, I wouldn't. Yeah, I am. Protecting your reality,
douchebag. What a line. What a line.
Although this Spidey shirt that I'm
wearing actually isn't Peter. This is Miles.
Miles Morales. Oh, this is
Spider-Verse? Yeah.
If you haven't seen that, by the way,
highly recommend you watch during the quarantine
into the Spider-Verse. It's on Netflix
as well.
And Siennaienna so sienna watched it five years old liked it there are some parts that are a little like scary for kids but if you have a kid that you want again a lot of people with kids who
are just looking for any sort of like way to run out a couple hours in the day that'll do the job
for you yeah how have how has your quarantine? Is it much different than your everyday life? So you're a barstool blogger who
blogs from home four out of the five days a week. How has this quarantine thrown things haywire for
you? There's just always pitter patter upstairs, kids running around going crazy. The wife keeps
them in line. She's doing a good job, but there's also times where you're like, I have to help out a little or I can just hear just craziness.
So it's tough.
I have a very bad – I do not concentrate well when I have to type and write stuff.
That's why when I go into HQ, it's like a nightmare for me.
God bless all you guys.
I can't throw headphones on and turn on music.
It doesn't work.
I just need quiet.
So it's – that's tough.
Plus like they're just – my daughter is in my business.
She's supposed to be sleeping.
I guarantee she'll be down here in the next hour or so.
She's going to come down and start talking to me.
The flip phones, I always get thrown off whenever I see a flip phone.
I'm like, all right, what time period are we in right now?
And it just completely throws me off.
I know the reason for the flip phone and all that kind of stuff but it always does like
mess me up i know i'll probably get some shit for this but i've been re-watching um oh you have
voice crack i've been re-watching one tree hill over quarantine and the phones in that show you
know it takes place in 2003 2004 2005 in high school so they're all they all got their sidekicks
their razors they're their cool flip phones.
It's so funny.
It cracks me up.
It's like the new age cars in movies.
They say you can tell what era you're in by looking at the cars.
I feel like the new age version of that will be iPhones or whatever version of the iPhone.
Whenever I see a text exchange come up in a movie where they have that green gradient text,
I'm always like, huh.
Yes.
Yes.
Good jump scare right here.
Boom.
Bob acted out the jump scare just so the people would know.
What do we think about Thanos' ship?
Do we like him, hate him, the little flying donuts?
I, I appreciate that they went for something different.
Eh, I think they're kind of weird.
They kind of look like weird air conditioners or something.
I, I agree.
I feel like Thanos.
I like his actual ship, the big one.
Yeah, yep.
That's cool.
I feel like Thanos could have, like i this is the problem i think he cuts
corners a lot and that's the reason why he has never gotten to where he needed to be until this
movie and i feel like those like they were probably on sale like five four and that's why he ended up
with those ships instead of something that might have been a little more practical or or better i
i think that they are i love that like low hum, of them. It's just the sound of dread.
Yeah.
Yeah, this is how Sienna knows this movie.
I want to watch the one where Spider-Man gets the goosebumps
and jumps out of the bus.
I love that you love the most random scene from the movie.
This is what you choose.
Not like everyone turning to dust at the end of it.
But, spoiler alert.
Such a great way he swings under the bridge like that
with only the mask on.
He's got his school clothes on regularly.
I mean, if Spider-Man was alive right now in the quarantine,
he'd be having some fun right now.
Just nobody on the streets getting in his way.
He can just swing.
Oh, man.
Yeah, I'd be lying if I said I didn't wake up every morning, look out my window, and think, like, it'd be cool if the Avengers were real.
Did you ever notice that Doctor Strange wink?
I never noticed that until just now.
When he, like, did his little powers there, he gave Stark a little wink, and I just noticed that for the first time.
Oh, my God, Ma.
Hear me.
You're about to die at the hands of the children of Thanos.
Be thankful.
What a fucking guy.
He's so good.
I love this guy.
Such a devious speech.
Yes.
And, like, we can admit this is Thanos' right-hand man, right?
Oh, yeah.
This is, dude.
I don't know if he's higher than Gamora in the personal power rankings of the children of Thanosos but it's you know 1a 1b i'd say
yeah this is his science guy yeah exactly this is his all business pete this is the guy he realized
to like put all the fucking technology together alfred his alfred pennyworth alfred yes but he's
got you know a lot more than alfred has alfred can help batman out and being like here's the
coordinates for where you need to go ebony ball will fucking tie you up in a steel chain
send you into another dimension not a huge fan of this guy i i don't like the big old bruiser um
children of thanos yeah he's no good it just like again, we've seen this. I've already seen two fucking brawlers in Thanos and Hulk fight.
This guy is such a, he's like Von Kaiser, basically, in Punch-Out.
He's like the second guy you fight in the entire game.
He's not much compared to those guys.
Those guys are title contenders.
And I feel like even the children of Thanos know that,
because the way he gets thrown at Ebony Maw in this scene,
and Ebony Maw kind of just, like, tosses him to to the side you know he's got the capabilities to just slow that big old
hunk of meat down and like place him on the ground but he's like ah fuck it let me let this guy feel
some pain when thanos was pairing everyone off for the invasion he's like all right we'll throw
you with the maw because the maw is just going to handle everything himself like he's basically an
apprentice for the maw he's like listen just like, listen, you have to cook for Moth.
You have to fucking make sure
he has all his little science
fucking things going on
and just get out of his way
and let him cook.
Moth's uprooting trees
like they're needles.
How about fucking Strange
that was killing Bruce Banner
in the beginning of the fight?
Let's chill out, Strange.
I know that he couldn't get the Hulk out there,
but you gotta protect the guy.
Just the way that they say, too, where he's like, Thanos is coming,
and they're like, who? I just loved how
you realize these guys don't know
who the fuck he is.
And it's cool that we knew who he
was way before they did.
You know what I mean?
They showed us
in the after credit scenes
like, oh, this guy's coming
and then in Guardians again
this guy's coming
and then we get to
the Avengers here
and they have no fucking clue.
It's awesome.
And like, Doctor Strange
is like the all-knowing
fucking guy, too.
If he doesn't know
other than Tony
there's no one who would know.
It's a casual fight in the middle.
If this happened in rush hour in New York City, people would be like,
they just keep walking to the subway.
I'm not giving these guys money. it's amazing how much they're able to make it look like new york too just didn't see that's right yep i'm sure this was shot on basically like a barstool green screen room
oh man i just loved how they just did that entire scene he doesn't like stop them with
his powers they flip it around and he tries to block it like just and the way he whittles the
bricks down everything about this guy if i just i you know i'm a i'm a mall guy you're a mall stand
a wall stand yes we stand a king there's the home alone trick classic burn him like Marv I was very much like team Tony
where I'm like dude just break the fucking
um time stone
however like the one guy in the world
who would never break the time stone is
Stephen Strange unfortunately is Steven Strange, unfortunately.
Just so effortless.
That looks like a little comfy to me as a guy that likes a weighted blanket
every now and then.
If Maul could just wrap me up
every night before I go to sleep,
put me in one of them pavement bricks,
I don't think I'd hate it.
Maul kind of has the alien version of like the alfred voice
too where it's like comforting you know what i mean like he reads a bedtime story he fucking
jokes you to death and you got like a nice sleep yeah the doctor you're about to fall of sleep at
the hands of the children of danos dr strange escape is like's cape is like
he is like the low key hero
of like Dr. Strange's life
he always comes through when it matters
which when the new movie comes out
I feel like I'm gonna forget
three different times and that cape's gonna come through
every time like oh yeah that's right you're awesome
you're like the best cape ever
I always think about like what if we would say that's probably you're awesome you're like the best I always think about like what if
like alright we would say like that's probably
Antarctica or somewhere that's in the middle of nowhere
right but like what if it's like somewhere in Alaska
and these fucking like Alaskans
have this monster in the middle of the city
they're like oh fuck
guy just shows up with one arm
one arm and a battle axe.
The best part of...
One of the best parts of, like,
any new movie with Iron Man in it
is just seeing how the suit has evolved
since the last movie.
And it's awesome.
I'm like, whoever thinks of this shit,
it's like, even if it just gets lighter,
it's quicker, and all that kind of stuff.
And I like this suit, don't get me wrong,
the first Nanotech suit,
the Endgame suit
where they went with more of a throwback, I think
we even talked about in our Endgame commentary,
with the gold arms, the gold thighs, the gold
legs, that's one of my favorite Iron Man suits
ever. I think he went out with one of the best
they've ever come up with.
I wish they had one
version of the clunkier Iron
Man, even if it was just in the background,
kind of like they did with the old Ant-Man.
Oh, yeah.
Where it's like the...
Because, again, I hated Iron Man growing up.
I thought he was just such a...
I didn't read him at all
because he just looked like a nerd.
He just looked awful.
But he's pretty awesome.
I imagine in the comic books,
he was pretty similar to the way he is in the movies,
even though Robert Downey Jr. just crushes it.
We've talked about this. The, even though Robert Downey Jr. just crushes it. We've talked about this.
The biggest winners of Robert Downey Jr.
just destroying his personal life
is Marvel and Disney
because they got him at a rate probably that was good,
and he's the perfect guy.
He actually crushed this role.
Johnny Depp with the pirates, too.
They got Johnny Depp.
They got Callie for six six movies and he had no business
probably being in them
so this scene originally
I heard Kevin Smith talking about
he did a podcast
Kevin Smith, Mark Bernard did an episode of
Fat Man on Batman or now
it's called Fat Man Beyond with the writers
of this movie I think Marcus and McFeely
I think that's their names
and the original with the writers of this movie. I think Marcus and McFeely, I think that's their names.
And the original version of this scene,
Doctor Strange is held captive by Ebony Maw,
and he's being tortured.
And instead of saving him with the alien joke,
they filmed and wrote this.
Iron Man sends his suit down to Strange, and it comes around Strange with the eye of Agamotto
in the middle of his chest
like in the middle of the Iron Man
suit or something like that
and the fucking cape goes
on Tony. So eventually
they're standing there having a conversation
where Doctor Strange is wearing an Iron Man suit
and Tony's wearing the Doctor Strange cape
and this footage exists.
It's out there.
It's out there?
Just not out in the public. It's out there really oh it's out there yeah give us the you know it's out and yeah you know i i've almost tweeted this and i decided i'm not going to tweet
it because the snyder cup people are so crazy and that i don't think they would understand that i'm
just kidding around and it's just a joke but i almost tweeted like i have been left so bored
in isolation and quarantine that it's finally time
to release the Snyder Cut.
I'll watch it. I swear I'll watch it.
I'll watch anything at this point.
Something I've never been interested
in before. I mean, I'll watch it. I've always said
I'll watch it, but it's not something I'm adamant
that needs to be released. I don't think it'll
make it a drastically different movie
than the one we saw in theaters.
The boredom of quarantine.
Oh man, Gamora singing.
Like, we're never gonna get that again.
Ah, it crushes me. Love this song.
The fact this is the only song in the movie
and it's the perfect song
to introduce this band of
misfits. It just makes me smile
every single time I hear it. Every single
time.
We take a shit.
In this scene, Rocket's like,
yeah, we gotta send everyone back to the workforce,
reopen the economy.
And Gamora's like, no, no, no.
This is about more than that.
To relate it back to COVID mania.
I love Teenage Groot.
Yep.
I'm starting to get,
Sienna's only five years old
and I'm getting this kind of stuff at her.
I'm getting the,
and she's playing video games
that doesn't turn them off.
I'm like, oh my God,
you're too young to be Teenage Groot right now.
And that's me.
I am Rocket.
I'll smash that thing into pieces
and I'm just losing
my temper.
Imagine just rolling
anything you're going
to get a ship.
We just have just
dead bodies everywhere,
which for Marvel,
this is a pretty like,
I mean,
they don't really focus
on it,
but that's a,
that's a rough scene.
Yeah.
Wipers. Wipers, wipers.
We're watching this in closed captioning, too,
and there's some things that, like,
I never really clicked in my head that they say this,
and that's one of them.
Wipers, wipers.
Oh, and Clem, you, so you're done with Tiger King, correct?
Yes, yep.
You watched the entire thing.
I finished it last night.
I was a late bloomer on it. I didn't come
to it for a while.
What a series.
I blogged that
the day it came out.
I was like, I don't think people...
Some people were reporting that it was coming
out that day. I was like, I feel like people aren't paying
attention to this. This is going to take the world by storm.
It's even surpassed
what I thought it was going to do.
The only way I can describe it i the entire time i just said i can't believe this is real life i can't believe it it's like watching an
avengers movie but this happened in real life basically it was so like you said every twist
and turn you're like wait this is all over like a tiger zoo in Florida? There's hits and there's stings and the FBI's involved now?
If you haven't seen it, which you probably have if you're listening to this,
I would imagine everyone has sat at home
and the first recommendation that everyone's getting is Tiger King.
But if you haven't, it is worth a watch.
It lives up to the hype that everyone is talking about.
If you haven't seen it yet, tell us what else you've been watching instead of it, because it must be pretty
awesome, and then we want to watch that, because I
need other stuff to watch.
That's the
thing we were saying, how this is on Netflix,
Infinity War, and it
always kind of makes me mad. I feel like we need to
get all the Marvel people together. I know
Spider-Man's obviously on Sony, which is a whole other thing
with just making the movies, but I don't like the Marvel movies being split up. I need them all to be in their Marvel people together. Like, I know Spider-Man's obviously on Sony, which is a whole other thing with just making the movies,
but I don't like the Marvel movies being split up.
Like, I need them all to be in their happy home together at Disney+.
They made the mistake of signing those, like,
long-term streaming contracts.
I think this one goes on Disney+, in June.
I'm pretty sure.
Okay, good.
And it might be the last one,
because Endgame's already on there,
which leads me to believe in
captain marvel's on there as well which you would think that from that point on the rest of them
will be on disney plus yeah now they know exactly they're and even again going back to the covid
stuff like now they're releasing movies like onward from pixar's come is i think it's already
available for if you want to buy it for 20 bucks on download and then i think in two weeks it's going to be on um disney plus because they don't want to throw it on dis available if you want to buy it for $20 on download. And then I think in two weeks it's going to be on Disney+.
Because they don't want to just throw it on Disney+.
They want to get their money from the downloads and all that stuff, which I understand.
But it's kind of a new world we're living in.
But it's also like there's going to be movies you're going to want to see in the theater that you don't want to see at home.
Can you imagine watching this or Endgame at home?
It would have been a completely different and, to be honest, worse experience, right?
Yeah, no, I'm with you. I did
see Onward, by the way. I thought it was very good.
Which thing? Very good, yeah.
Especially if you're a guy with a brother
like I am, like it's one of those brotherly love
movies, so it'll definitely
hit home for you.
And it's Chris Pratt and Tom Holland.
How could you not love them that's true just uh like and
like chris pratt chris hemsworth and just the guardians and thor i never really would have
like i never thought like how this dynamic was gonna be it's perfect i mean the new thor is
perfect for the guardians like the best yeah it's the best and I'm just like, I cannot get enough of these two fucking factions being together.
Chris Pratt playing the fucking, you know, boyfriend just getting shit on by the sexy fucking space pirate or whatever you want to call Thor.
Yeah.
Even in the most outlandish of worlds, the most outlandish of universes, where in this ship we literally have like a mantis person, we have
Drax the Destroyer, we have a talking tree,
we have a talking raccoon.
This is the most human
relatable conversation ever.
Everyone's been there.
Yes, amazing. Everyone's seen something
like this go down where you're like, alright,
you're intimidated by the friggin' jock that just
walked into the room.
I never... Why does he give the collector
the stone? I don't remember.
I think he just said
he'd be safe with the collector.
He just was like, this guy
collects a bunch of shit.
Yeah. I mean, like, if I had a baseball card and I didn't want that baseball card to get, like, destroyed,
I would probably give it to a baseball card collector that, like, is a professional guy that has, like, the screw cases.
But, I mean, like, you just look at the collector like, this guy's a fucking moron.
That's the other side.
Right?
Oh, I always get – I'm watching this on PlayStation.
That's what I'm streaming through.
And I always get invitations to a party to play like whatever from Pukeman3.
So Pukeman3, if you're listening, shout out Pukeman3.
Oh, you don't know who it is.
I don't know who it is. No, I get random friend requests.
And Pukeman3 is always trying to get on the party.
I'm going to join you one day during the quarantine, Pukeman3, but we're watching a movie right now.
That will blow his mind.
The rabbit. Everything that
fucking Rocket's been called in these movies.
My favorite's Raboon, which is
half rabbit, half raccoon.
I like in Endgame when
they're running out of Asgard and one of the
Asgardians just shouts,
Get the rabbit!
Everyone in Asgard considers him a rabbit.
I love it.
And I love in Guardians 2 when...
I think it's...
Is it Mantis says to Drax,
she's like,
Can I pet your dog?
And he's like,
Yes!
Did you see that someone did a bracket of the Marvel movies and Infinity War and Endgame I think were like that they end up usually facing off in the finals
the only one I could see taking down one of them is the Guardians movies for me like that's
how much I love the Guardians I just think they. I just think each movie has a flaw in it
that kind of would lose to Endgame or
Infinity War because I think
Guardians is a lot of
you have to establish the
backstory, it's an origin, and then
the Guardians 2
I think some parts come short of Guardians
1, but I like the End of Guardians 2 more than
I like the End of Guardians 1, so
if you put them together, I feel like that could take down one of these Avengers movies in my book.
Yeah.
The original Guardians movie, when it first came out, I remember saying, wow, that's my favorite MCU movie.
And my rankings have shifted around a little bit since then.
But it's such a well-done movie and such a movie that came out of nowhere, took all by surprise blew everyone's expectations away i
think everyone's bar for that was pretty low and i've heard the whole like oh this movie comes out
of nowhere it's gonna be great and i remember hearing that for that movie and i was like and
sienna i think was around the time she was born i was like well i'm not gonna see that i'm like
it's probably overrated and now it's like one of my favorite movies of all time. Incredible. James Gunn.
Ah, God. Vision.
These two kind of met, I thought, in this movie,
but hopefully WandaVision brings us back
and we go, oh shit,
these two were actually way more important
than we thought the whole time.
Because Kevin Feige still says Scarlet Witch
is the most powerful Avenger.
Yeah, I mean, that's the thing about scarlet witch
the way that they went she's on the field like they clearly know her and we've seen her in the
two battles of these avengers movies i guess three if you include um age of ultron right
so like that bitch is strong and i am head over heels in love with elizabeth i never i never got
the mayor i always got creeped out by the Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen
love because I was a little bit older
and I...
I'm like DJ Tanner's age, right?
So Michelle Tanner was a baby when I was like DJ.
So I always saw them as young kids.
I remember the internet was just like
how long until they're 18?
There were countdowns.
It's the internet 1.0 when the internet was the Wild West, right?
And I was always just like a
little put off by that however i am in love with elizabeth olsen like nothing else in the world
yeah she's she's pretty hot she's pretty hot uh just this storyline they give these two in this
movie is very like vanilla oh forbidden love we can't be together oh you you're vision but you're a human
you want it doesn't do it for me i feel like they make them the extra like sappy college couple like
i guarantee all of wanda's friends are like man i miss her when she before she was with vision and
all visions right like i hate but like they're the couple that got together and are just completely
lame together but on their own they could be cool and fun. Yeah.
I think WandaVision will be great.
I do too. I think it does have the lowest floor, I think it has the highest ceiling though.
Yeah, just based on the visuals we've seen
so far, it looks so cool, so wacky,
so weird.
I wish they...
I guess, I guess I'm saying I wish they
like, because I think the reason they do this with Vision is they need to make him – you have to kind of like dial back his powers, the Superman paradox or whatever, right?
And they – I guess stabbing a trident through his heart or whatever is a pretty good way to kind of take him off the field.
But I wish they did a little more because all the time I'm just like, you're such a pussy, Vision.
Get your shit together right now man and also can't he put on some kind of armor like visions this technologically
advanced can't he just i don't know dude put on like get iron man armor just yet just like tony
stark's part of his brain or whatever could have figured out something to do right here i would i
would think and this again like this guy stinks this child this child thanos
he's not fucking worth it you tell me the maw is putting fucking vision and pretzels i could
understand this guy not doing shit the girl this lady uh what's her name uh proxima something
midnight she's legit i feel like she's maybe the number two she actually is pretty good yeah she
has her moment in the wakanda battle too she gets – like her death is like a moment.
Yeah, yep, yep.
I will say too like that's – her name is awesome.
It's the only other name I know out of all the children with animals.
It's such a good name.
She earned that name.
Her look is good too actually.
I like the way her character is designed and everything.
And she just –
This guy stinks though.
I'm not giving this guy any credit.
No, no.
His best moment of the entire film
is his complete sneak attack on Vision
on a computer, which, again,
I know he turned off the transponder.
Like, come on, man.
You gotta know when you're about to get stabbed
in the fucking back, Vision.
Yeah.
One time for me, Vision.
If anyone's gonna have eyes in the back of their
head literally anyone it should be vision like yeah you lose the name vision yeah i refer which
which is uh like human nils i'm calling him nils he looks like a nils nils you lost the name vision
congrats you fucking jerk see like that's a badass look right there.
Got horn eyes kind of thing, the blue hair.
A blue soul patch.
Yep.
Now this is where people go nuts.
The stands come out.
Through the subway.
How does he get there?
He's not on the train, right?
He was behind the train, Clem.
Oh, he's just trying to make a fucking entrance.
With the beard, with the Fleischmann flow.
Yeah, the Fleischmann flow.
I like that.
Imagine the next day you're the owner of that store.
You just see, like, glass everywhere.
And there's no one.
What the fuck?
They're like, oh, some blokes got a little loaded last night no there was a bunch of superheroes fighting super villains
and supercomputers life was at stake you would never in a million years guess that
this so this movie does a lot to just reinforce how captain america needs his shield just to have
like the coolness factor to him.
Yeah.
He's a defensive... It's very weird. He's like a defensive
hero. He's his best...
Yeah. He's like
the old Spurs. He just plays defense
and that's how he gets his points.
He doesn't really fight that much
but he does cool shit on
defense.
And who's... defense. Good leadership.
Yeah, good leadership.
I will give him that.
He's very Tim Duncan.
Very Tim Duncan-y.
Who's a first ballot All-Famer.
Imagine looking like Chris Evans looks.
What a life that must be.
That is so true.
That just blew my mind into a million pieces.
Just thinking what Chris Evans lives every day, just thinking of it blew my mind.
Waking up, looking at the mirror.
He's got to laugh out loud every time he looks in the mirror.
He's got to be like, ha, that's crazy.
And it all started, I mean, the first time I saw him was not another teen movie.
And this is when he becomes Captain fucking America.
Jakey Jakey going to make a big mistake.
Unreal.
It's got to be the first Fantastic Four for me, the first time I saw him.
I was really into both of those Fantastic Four movies because they came out at a good time for me where they were like basically made for kids my age and they had a big Burger King campaign for Happy Meals or whatever it was.
I've never actually seen Gamora's mom before I've like never noticed her so that's what Gamora's mom looks like okay um the Fantastic Four I I didn't mind the first like the first one
we've talked about this they don't hold up well I'll say that you don't know because at the time
I was fine with them but it's like at the time, there was no
gold standards like the ones we have today, obviously.
So I was like, alright, that was fine.
The gold standard at the time was
Spider-Man 2, like the Sam Raimi
Spider-Man 2, which is still a great movie, but it's
just light years different than what we would
consider that today.
And there wasn't ever on the internet could
go to all these different
Twitters and Reddits and just complain about everything and then make you hate the movies or just point out the obvious bullshit with the movies.
I love that they're like, I like it's crazy to really just does such a great job of explaining, like, just how deep their, like, bond was and how long he's been with her and everything.
And fucking perfectly balanced.
I've said that phrase eight billion times since this stupid movie came out.
And also just this subtle scene shows so much about their relationship and how fucked up and sick and twisted he is.
Because clearly he like has love for this girl and he cares for her like a daughter.
But we're watching a complete massacre, like a literal genocide go on in the background.
He's like, no, no, don't look, don't look.
Fucked up.
Fucked up Fucked up I can't even
Like I said
I can't write a smut blog
Without like being distracted
As like my kids run upstairs
This guy has a genocide
Happening behind him
And he's teaching a girl
About balancing stuff
On her finger
Like all things should be
Yeah so I You know obviously I got into parks and rec after i saw i mean just recently
so it was after endgame even and it's crazy but like chris pratt is so made for this role
but it's so crazy to see that someone was like that guy is my peter quill like james gunn
casting director and it's it's. It's absolutely perfect. So perfect.
I wonder how long her makeup takes every day.
Oh, my God.
The queen of the box office right here.
What is it? Really?
Oh, my God.
She's the top two, right?
Yeah.
And then this one's up there, too. It's up top two right and then and then this one's up there too up there right
i know this one has a lot of opening weekend records still
i mean i remember when i went to this i was expecting good things but i really didn't know
just how big and how would the whole infinity were supposed to be about and i remember i went
out through it was like like my head had exploded i was like what the fuck just happened it was if i had been alive for empire strikes back it would have felt like that
but if i hadn't like watched star wars beforehand i really do think this is that movie of our
generation like the empire strikes back yes the bittersweet ending the setup for the next one
but it's almost as if return of the Jedi blew people away as much as Empire did.
You know what I mean?
And I love Endgame,
and the final hour of Endgame is great,
and even just all hopping around
and reliving all those moments,
but I think...
It probably changes by the day,
but I think Infinity War is my pick,
just because...
I'm with you.
Because, I mean,
half of the characters aren't in most of Endgame either,
which is, you know, part of the issue.
Fucking Drax.
They...
Goddamn, you didn't believe they always throw in there.
So funny.
And who would have thought fucking Dave Bautista would be such a great actor,
such a perfect guy for this role.
He's in Blade Runner.
He's a guy that broke out.
I remember when he went into acting.
One of his first movies was some kind of like in the legend of the Iron Fist.
It was some stupid action movie that flopped, I think.
I remember being like, geez, Bautista should just come back to the WWE.
I don't know what he's doing.
And that's when you see a guy who does
that jump you're like well that's going to be like a flop he'll be back in you know a year
and he just hit the right role and i mean again like whoever was like that's our drax they
absolutely positively nailed it i bet more people know him as drax than from the wwe at this point
right definitely i i never saw him in WWE
too, which, do you think
that we'll have another Golden
Age? Because I lived through two.
I lived through the Golden Age, I lived
through the Stone Cold Golden Age.
Do you think that there's another one in the next
20 years lined up?
Yeah.
I think when
Triple H first takes over
I think it's gonna be
I think it's gonna be massive
cause I would love if my son got into this shit
like I'd love to be the wrestling dad
and go to watch the pay-per-views
go to the Raw or whatever
even if I don't
I mean I did a thing about
the theme songs the other day
and just listening to the theme songs takes me back immediately
just like the best fucking stuff on earth, man.
Wrestling.
Wrestling is so good.
I'm sorry.
A little bit of a tangent.
I just love wrestling when it's on.
We even talked.
We could say on the stream about doing maybe some pay-per-view watch-alongs in this quarantine
because you got like a free trial for the WWE Network.
And you texted me about that.
I told Jared that.
Jared was like, yeah, fuck yeah, let's do it.
So maybe we'll...
Yeah, everyone has free network now.
Yeah.
I think they're doing it through WrestleMania too.
So I guess people will be able to watch WrestleMania as well.
Which is crazy.
That's already taped.
Which is so weird.
It's already been taped?
Yeah.
Florida shut down, so they had to tape it last week.
Half the card's not even happening anymore.
They did a bunch of last-minute replacements.
I think the United States Championship match, and I could be wrong on this,
I think it's the Miz versus one of the Uso twins,
which is just like the strangest.
I wish they weren't calling this WrestleMania.
Yeah, yeah, it's one of those things.
Because it's not like
WrestleMania is labeled by year either,
right? It's not like we would have a gap in the history
books where you would say WrestleMania 2019,
WrestleMania 2021.
It's just WrestleMania 36.
So my idea was, have all
the matches that you were going to have at WrestleMania,
but just call it like
Quarantine Mania. And then in October, call that pay-per-view WrestleMania. And then when you look back to have at WrestleMania, but just call it like quarantine mania.
And then in October, call that pay-per-view WrestleMania.
And then when you look back, it's like, all right,
at least there was a crowd there for these big moments.
I don't know.
It's going to be weird.
I'm interested to see, obviously.
It's a weird two-night thing they're doing this year.
Yeah, it's kind of like the Super Bowl.
I could kind of see like if we moved it back,
it'd still be the Super Bowl whether it was played in January or May, right?
Yeah. This feels like if we moved it back, it'd still be the Super Bowl, whether it was played in January or May, right? Yeah.
This feels like if we had this situation, they were like,
all right, we're going to cancel the Super Bowl.
But instead of taking – who was in the Super Bowl this year?
It was the Chiefs and the 49ers.
If they said, all right, we're going to take this,
but what we're going to do is we're going to take Kittle off the 49ers.
We're going to take Garoppolo off the 49ers. We're going to take this but what we're going to do is we're going to take Kittle off the 49ers, we're going to take Garoppolo
off the 49ers, we're going to take Mahomes
off the Chiefs, we're going to fill them in
with some random players from the league
and there will be no crowd there, but this
is the Super Bowl. And you're like, well these aren't even
really the teams.
I remember when I saw
this in the theater, so she
stabs Thanos,
and you're just like, what the fuck is going on right now?
Did you think, were you like, there's something else afoot here?
Yeah, I knew Thanos wasn't going to be dead,
but I was also incredibly confused as to what could possibly be changing. And then when it does change, it's a very cool effect,
and you go, oh, fuck, well, I guess that's what the reality stone is.
That's Benicio, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I love how he gets, like, a little spot here in the movie.
Gets to say he was in Infinity War.
Just says magnificent, collapsible times,
talks to Thanos for a minute.
I also love that Thanos bleeds purple.
I don't know why, but the fact it matches his skin
I always liked that a lot.
You know what they should have done for his donut chips?
They should have just had the Thanos copter.
They should have fucking had the boss to
pull the trigger on the Thanos copter.
The one thing is with all these MCU cartoons and series coming out,
I feel like we will see a Thanos copter before long.
And maybe a what if Ant-Man had jumped up Thanos' ass as a what if as well.
That was my favorite theory ever on the internet.
I watched Thor 2 the other day.
What did you think?
It was just the final battle scene.
And I was like, yeah, it was on TNT or something.
And then once it was a commercial, I'm like, yep, not coming back.
I wasn't vibing with it.
But I didn't watch the whole thing.
These are some of the coolest effects in the movie, by the way.
Yes.
Mantis going slinky and Drax going into, like, cubes.
I don't know how they did that.
I would love to see.
I watched this series on YouTube, and maybe they've broken this down and I missed it,
but it's called CGI Artists React to, like, Great and Bad Special Effects.
Really, really cool because they usually have – I think they actually brought in a guy that worked on this movie,
and they just go through movies, and they're like, all right, right here's how they did this here's why the shot looks so good the lighting is you know referenced here the shadows here look
great and here's why superman's lip looked horrible in justice league because your muscles don't move
that way and it's i would highly recommend people check it out especially if you're into these
movies because a lot of what they're reacting to are from the mcu and stuff and i thought he killed them and then i realized like
thanos doesn't kill anyone he doesn't he doesn't want to kill people at this point he kills who he
has to he doesn't take any more than he has to it's like an oregon trail he takes 100 pounds
of meat to the wagon and no he's just toying with him yeah he's like i'm not crazy and this is such a good like again I
had to watch Guardians 2 or I don't even
know if I had really watched all one
this is such a strong-ass scene here man
like if you're a diehard diehard
Guardians fan and he has to kill Gamora
like the mind fuck so I hope you more
than anything.
She's crying.
He's crying.
Ugh.
And the fact that he has the strength to pull the trigger and they have that passionate moment but it's taken away from them with this makes him look like a clown.
Yeah, he just clowns him with that.
It's so bad.
It's such a mean move and when he when thanos says i like him that made me love
thanos so much more because thanos appreciates a dude that doesn't give a fuck and that's a lot
of han solo in my guy quill here like han solo would have pulled the trigger on leia if he had
to we know he would yes there's a lot of han solo in their relationship and princess yes
that is actually true i never thought about that going
after the daughter of a criminal uh mastermind you know genocidal lunatic and like leia doesn't
have the like fighting chops but she is a badass mama jama if she when she asked so very stubborn
very you know like doesn't take no shit i would would be so scared if, like, I could never go after, like, a Leia or a Gamora.
Like, I'd be so scared of them.
Even if I, like, fell in love with them, I'd be like, nope, she's way too scary.
She's too mean.
I can't be with a girl that that's mean.
No, that's not for you, Clem.
That's not for you.
You're too nice a guy.
So the rumor is that this guy will be in She-Hulk, the series, as Red Hulk.
Is Red Hulk good?
I don't think so.
I don't know how the Hulks work.
I know there's a bunch of different colors.
Yeah, I don't really know how the Hulks work either.
Who's She-Hulk?
Is She-Hulk the actress announced?
It's not.
It's heavily rumored to be
allison brie really yeah okay i could get some legs and mark ruffalo will probably be in the
show as well good doesn't need to be like all about it but you know you kind of just like
everyone i feel like all the mcu people that can like give everything a little push you just need
everything just kind of get away from the dock.
Smooth sailing to start the ride.
Totally. And I think they're supposed to be
cousins, I'm pretty sure. She-Hulk and Hulk.
Oh, okay.
I want to say
she goes through
some sort of medical condition
where she needs some radiation.
It might be cancer or something like that
where she needs radiation. And he's like cancer or something like that where she needs radiation.
And he's like, well, there's only one fucking alternative.
Let's try it.
And then turns her into She-Hulk.
I could be completely off base on that,
but that sounds right in my head.
So I watched your recommendation, actually,
Iron Man 1 the other day to see how much it held up. It does hold up very well.
I love Tony Starkey. He's such a prick in it um terrence howard yeah and i love cheetle
i would have loved to have seen terrence howard go you know all the way through with the character
is it true i read something online that the reason he ended up like getting knocked out of the movie is because i think they had to pay robert downey jr more money and that was part of the reason he
didn't come back and he was always kind of pissed off about it yeah that's what i read online and i
was always like shit and apparently he like loves the character too of war machine and he was like
i think he kind of like put the direction of the character into
where it ended up and he's I think
a little like bummed it he kind of got like
basically thrown out of there but I can't imagine
Don Cheadle's taking like working for free
right so that's what I don't know
I don't know I was hoping you would know
you always are like you're dropping knowledge on
me so I might have had the drop on
Bob Fox for once I think you did
I love the way they introduce
him in iron man 2 and he's like listen i know it's weird but it's me just get over it just get over
it i do wish that they had someone consistent through the whole thing i always say i would
love to see a cut of iron man 1 where they digitally put don cheadle in the movie because
that's my thing with uh the dark knight trilogy which is other than the original
trilogy of star wars my favorite ever i wish that they had the same rachel through the entire thing
the same rachel does it goes from katie holmes to maggie gyllenhaal and i'm always like that's
the one thing on the trilogy that like doesn't add up i hate to say it i don't really care that
maggie gyllenhaal dies in it i if katie holmes was there i love katie hol, I don't really care that Maggie Gyllenhaal dies in it. If Katie Holmes was in it, I love Katie Holmes.
I don't really care for Maggie Gyllenhaal.
I was like, eh, that stinks.
You ended up choosing the right building, Bruce.
Don't worry.
Also, your guy here.
Your guy!
He gets called out.
It's tough.
He yucks everything up at this exact moment.
This is the moment Thanos won the fight.
This goddamn scene.
We don't trade lives.
Ha, ha, ha.
What a goddamn asshole.
Thank God Tony is in there to smack some sense into him.
This is so unfair.
I'm attacking your guy, Rob.
You can't really say anything back.
The issue is he gets called out by Vision So You can't argue it
He's like we don't trade lives
But you traded your life 70 years ago
That's right
Well I'm really good looking
So I can say whatever I want
He's like I got to be sad over a girl for a while
I'm interested to see how much,
how big of a role Wakanda plays
in the future, because it's such
a cool-ass place.
I want to see more of it.
And I saw online,
there's another little thing I saw on Twitter that,
so it sounds like Atlantis,
is it confirmed happening?
It's not confirmed, but it's very,
it's gone from like, ooh, that was an interesting tease to, yeah, it seems like that's next.
Awesome.
The White Wolf.
I will say this.
This is my personal thoughts about the Winter Soldier.
Has much cooler names than his actual is cool.
That's my personal –
No, come on.
The way he walks up to that right there, the haircut, the beard.
Come on.
The vibranium arm.
But his, like, powers, they're a little lacking.
Bro, look at that arm.
That is his powers.
The sweet arm.
It's a sweet arm.
It is a sweet arm.
The White Wolf.
What a fucking line.
Just call someone the White Wolf.
T'Challa with the fucking drip king
over there
drip king
I Black Panther
this is the scene
right here that I was
talking about that
that went a little
differently in the
first cut
this is with the
Iron Man
um
suit and everything
this looks like
the most painful
form of torture
possible
I wonder if this is like Ebony is like if this is Ace or if this is like his queen This looks like the most painful form of torture possible.
I wonder if this is like Ebony's – if this is his ace or if this is like his queen.
He's like, I'm going to save the king and the ace in case I got to break him out near Titan.
Because you know this.
There's not one person who wants to upset Thanos less than Ebony.
You don't get that spot, the right-hand man role unless you know you you're you're good for it oh this so like that's the one thing is like the the torture machine and empire strikes back with han it's
like so chitzy looking and i mean i'm sure but like this if they i mean george lucas worked what
he could did what he could do back then but this is like oh my god i can't even fathom what he's
going you know what the torture machine and empire Strikes Back looks like? It looks like if you went into your
drawer full of knives and
scissors and, you know, everything
that you had in your... The junk drawer?
The junk drawer. And you were just
like, let's make this look as sharp as possible.
Just point everything up. Knives,
pins, tacks,
anything you have.
They definitely had this awesome
contraption machine made, and it got lost in shipping.
And then they went to George's junk drawer, and that's what George Lucas has in his junk drawer, whatever was on that machine.
They were like, he won't notice.
He won't notice.
He walked on set.
They were like, everyone play it cool.
He looked at it.
He was like, oh, very Star Wars.
It looks like it's from space.
They were like, yes.
Yes.
We got a Bob Fox George Lucas.
That's what I wanted to hear.
Spider-Man is all of us too.
He's just making pop culture references, always thinking like he –
Peter Parker could be a Barstool blogger.
He could get his foot in the door.
Oh, he would take my job so quick.
Peter Parker is definitely into UFC, too.
There's no doubt.
No doubt.
He's like a, he's an Anderson Silva guy, a spider.
Yes, yes.
Today actually marks an interesting stat, and this will be two days ago if you're listening to this on release date.
We're recording this on Saturday, March 28th. Today, officially, as many
days as it has passed now
since Anderson Silva has been champ, as
his entire title reign lasted, which is a really
crazy stat in my mind, because
it feels like it's been forever
since he held that title.
Wow. So it just goes to show
you how long he was on top.
Over 2,000 days.
2,000 days! 2,000 days.
That's fucking preposterous.
Which it's hard to imagine that happening in the sport anymore.
You could point to Jon Jones or Khabib, but it's just like that was a different time where
the sport was still so young and it was evolving.
And once Chris Weidman took the belt off of him, the belt's changed hands so many times since that it feels like the division's evolved.
So, oh, there goes Ma.
R.I.P.
I – this was – it killed me.
When I see him, like, his frozen face, I'm like, oh, he's just gone?
My guy's gone?
However, I will say this.
I loved how he went because it wasn't your typical battle.
It was like outmaneuvering.
It was a smart move.
They had this whole plan.
That is – that's when I think – when that happened, I was like outmaneuvering. It was a smart move. They had this whole plan. That is,
that's when I think
when that happened,
I was like,
oh, this movie's just different.
It's going to be different
the way that things go down.
It's not just going to be
you fight to the end
and whoever pulls some crazy move.
It's the same with wrestling too.
Like when there's like
a unique ending to a match
that you could have never seen coming,
I appreciate it, you know?
Yeah.
It's a good point.
It was just like really one strategic maneuver they set up.
You shot one thing and it worked perfectly
because of aliens or whatever.
And cool.
That's how two of the top superheroes in the galaxy
should work together when they're working together.
It should work.
Definitely something I could imagine happening in like a original episode of that spider-man cartoon in the 90s though them blowing
someone out of a vacuum yeah exactly which another another thing to catch up on if the x we've talked
about the x-men cartoon and the spider-man cartoon. You guys need some stuff to burn time. Disney Plus has all that shit, which I haven't even tapped into.
I watched the first season of X-Men with Sienna, and she absolutely loved it.
So I think we're going to – we'll probably have to keep that rolling now.
Oh, you know what I wanted to ask your opinion on?
I was wondering earlier.
So I watched WALL-E today.
It just felt appropriate in this weird quarantine apocalyptic world. I was like,
WALL-E's a good movie. Hadn't seen it since probably
the year it came out. Really underrated.
I enjoyed it. I was like, alright, that was a good movie.
Another quarantine-esque
movie where I was like, I wonder how
Clem feels about this as a big Simpsons guy.
The Simpsons movie.
So,
the Simpsons movie obviously came out after
it had fallen off a cliff
I feel like it's good
I had some old school Simpsons moments
I haven't watched it in so long
I guess I should throw that on the list
To do during all this
I was thinking about that
The way they dropped the dome over Springfield
I was like drop a fucking dome over New York City right now
Drop the dome let's do it
Kate blogged when they Basically shut down New Rochelle because that's where the guy, the lawyer was.
And she put the picture of the dome going over from the Simpsons movie.
I was like, oh, fuck.
We're living the Simpsons movie.
And is Schwarzenegger the president in that movie?
Yeah.
Well, I think he is.
He was the governor at the time when they made the movie.
So I don't remember.
But then there's also President Trump in an old Simpsons, and I was like, wait, is Trump in the Simpsons movie?
And they're doming off?
I'm like, this is getting way – but it's not Trump, so okay.
That made me feel like we're not actually living in a Simpsons show.
It just feels like it every single day.
But yeah, I approve the Simpsons movie.
I should probably watch it again now that I have the time. And again, anyone who hasn't watched it, seasons one through eight, got to watch the Simpsons.
It's the number one show of all time for me personally, that stretch run.
I don't know.
Thanos, I would feel like he'd have a sweeter throne, but that's probably such an awesome –
if you just see it in person, you're probably like...
I do like this throne room.
I think this is cool.
The way his whole ship is so technologically advanced and it looks spacey, and then this is sort of a cave, and it's, you know, like, very back to his roots of raw brutality.
I don't know.
I like the Thanos throne room. I would have liked to see a fight scene take place in this place.
Just as a Star Wars fan who as soon as I see
a throne I'm like, oh shit, start
fighting! Where's the lightsabers?
God damn it.
I also...
I've been waking up at 7am
every morning. I don't know why. It's just
my internal clock wakes me
up at 7am and this morning I couldn't
get back to sleep.
I watched the first five episodes of The Mandalorian just to get a little more Baby Yoda in my life.
Everyone needs a little more Baby Yoda right now.
We need some – yeah, like either rewatch The Mandalorian or just watch – get some super cuts out there and just like rewatch the super cuts of Yoda, Baby Yoda cooing and giggling and all that kind of stuff.
A small price to pay
for salvation.
He is such great,
goddamn,
I mean,
they didn't obviously
go into the movie
thinking this.
Thanos is the meme god,
basically.
He's the greatest meme.
I see a Thanos line
on Twitter.
I'm liking it,
retweeting it,
loving it.
I'm probably the one
tweeting it,
to be honest with you.
I fucking love this guy.
Do you think they just hung out in the throne room?
I feel like that's kind of weird.
He sits on a throne and they're just standing around him all the time?
Do you think that's what went down?
I don't think so.
I think he took her.
I think this is like he goes there to fucking smoke a joint,
put on a Led Zeppelin album alone.
I think he took her there for a private conversation to be like,
listen, you're my daughter.
I want you on my team for this thing.
Here's what I'm trying to do.
I don't think the children of Thanos chill in the throne room with him.
Throne room is family only.
Yeah.
And by family, that means that he stole from other families to make his own.
This is the other thing about Thanos, too.
Like, the dude doesn't lie.
Ball don't lie.
Thanos don't lie.
Two things you can take to the bank.
And Infinity War Thanos greater than Endgame Thanos.
Yes, big time.
Infinity War Thanos,
if he could have gone to the future he would have won that
you know he would have won that he would have probably put he would have had to think of a
plan on the fly where this is very well thought out this entire infinity war um i think but the
end game thanos is so rash the way this scene is shot is so great where it looks like she's just
held normally and then it goes to the side view it's almost like they one of those art pieces we see on instagram all the time where it looks like
nothing and then it's like oh shit you turn around it's a map of the united states those
goddamn people that like make those chalk drawings on the floor and it looks like there's like a pit
crazy uh blows my fucking mind except he's doing this and torturing his daughter to death right now
yeah yeah i guess there's a way that they could have made this even more gruesome or seem more painful.
Oh, definitely.
It is in the comics.
The comics, yeah.
It's definitely more brutal because her eye is bulging out of its socket.
She almost looks like Glenn from The Walking Dead when his skull was caved in.
Yes.
So I always like the whole Nebula and gamora dynamic is always so weird but
to be fair like i always get mad that this is what got gamora to you know say where the
soul stone was but at the same point like if it's as gruesome as the comics and that there is such a
deep-seated whatever you want to call it, relationship between them.
It kind of does check out here, I guess.
And good on everyone involved in, I guess, the writing and directing and editing of this movie for taking Nebula, a character who was in the Guardians movies but really wasn't a main player in either of them.
In the second one, she definitely had more shine and teamed up with him a little bit. But they took her and they turned her into the character that they needed her to be for this story to work the way it worked in the comics.
And I don't think anyone had any gripes about it.
They took a very tiny character.
They gave her a very major role and they did it in a good way.
Yeah.
And even – there's a little parallel between her playing the video there and then her playing the video in Endgame that tells Thanos about what happens to him in his life.
Nebula, again, it's like every fucking –
That's such an oh, fuck moment in Endgame, by the way.
When she sees that video, you're like, oh, no.
Now he knows the whole plan.
You can't even get mad at Nebula.
She's not doing it on purpose.
You're like, Nebula, no.
Don't do this!
And her relationship with Thanos
is just so fucking weird and whatever, too,
where she's trying to kill him,
she's trying to help him.
But I guess if your dad...
Nebula's abusive.
Yeah.
If your dad's Thanos,
you probably have some serious daddy issues.
And then you go from a scene that
serious to Rocket Raccoon
telling Groot to tinkle in a cup
because nobody's looking at his twig.
Tree poured in the cup.
One of the most rewatchable
movies I've ever seen. Truly
mean that. And it's the way it jumps around.
We just watched attack of the
clones in a live stream we've been watching a bunch of the star wars movies and that is a
rewatchable movie for completely opposite reasons it's rewatchable because it takes sort of what
endgame did in the structure of the way it jumps around from a bunch of different storylines three
main storylines and it does everyone wrong.
It's almost like they did it at, like, they cut to the scene at the wrong time. It's like, no, you guys should have
come here, like, three days later when good stuff
happens, because there's nothing exciting going on right now.
Yeah.
Like, in this movie, we talk about
how Thanos starts the movie, and you're
just like, this guy is incredible.
He's a monster. He beats the shit out of
Loki. He kills Loki. He does this. He fucking, like, gets two Power Stones. He crushes the Tesseract. just like this guy is incredible he's a monster he beats the shit out of folk he kills loki he
does this he fucking like just takes two power stones he crushes the tesseract we don't meet
count dooku till halfway through the movie and he does nothing exciting that entire time like i don't
even we're gonna watch revenge of the sith on sunday which is gonna be tomorrow uh as of this
recording so it'll have already happened and like you're supposed to care about what happens to Count Dooku
in Revenge of the Sith?
He couldn't care less.
He doesn't do anything in Attack on the Clones.
So this movie proves...
This movie doesn't have one bad storyline.
Every storyline in this movie follows every new thread.
I never get bored with one of them.
I didn't even come into my head
that Thor would end up getting another hammer or weapon.
I was just like, Thor's going to have to figure out how to win this on his own right now without any kind of weapon.
And then he says how they're going to try to get another weapon.
I'm like, oh shit, we have a chance in this thing.
This started getting me fired up in the theater.
Yeah, I definitely thought after Ragnarok that Thor would just be like a lightning guy now he would be
yeah i still wish i know i've said this on the pod before i do wish thor was a permanent eye
patch guy i love eye patch thor i think he looks so badass agreed i think thor could have worn this
look for a little while obviously the way he kind of goes in Endgame is kind of an iconic look in its own crazy way.
It really does tell the tale of the time.
But I don't know, man.
I fuck with Chris.
I mean, I'm pretty sure on this podcast I said I would do very dirty things to Chris Hemsworth.
And I don't go that way, but I just love this man.
I love him.
I love him for what he is. I love him for what he is I love him for what he isn't Bob
One of my friends
Reposted a headline from
When the original Thor came out
And they cast Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston
As the two lead roles
And the headline that Vulture ran with was
Marvel rolls dice
Casts no names in Thor
And it's like imagine
Now if you could look At the writer of that article and be like dice casts no names in Thor. And it's like, imagine now if
you could look at the writer of that article
and be like, hey, what do you think about those no names?
Old takes exposed. That's like an
entertainment version of that, right? Yeah.
Rocket always having
an extra body part. Love that about him.
There's so many fun, kinky things
about Marvel characters that I just
love.
And that's different than the eye he gets in
Guardians 2, right?
Yeah. I think it's different.
Which is incredible.
He's had two different sets of eyes
he's taken from people in his time.
Yeah, you know how it is.
You've been around the block, Clem.
You've got a few eyes in your junk drawer.
I'm a big junk drawer guy too.
I love my junk drawers.
That's good stuff.
Yeah.
We've gone to a point of no return.
I have to clean it out.
We have so many pencils in there from Sienna because you get pencils everywhere you go as a kid.
And they're just unsharpened pencils.
So they are worthless. We just lost our last sharpener so it's just
and the junk drawer doesn't open which i think probably a 50 rate of junk drawers don't open
because it's just full of junk so i've got two in my room now i've expanded and one opens and
one doesn't so i could literally be you know the guy yes, 50%. I've tried it in the field.
Perfect balance is all things should be.
Yeah.
I am grued.
It's crazy to think that like – I forget that.
Tyrion.
This – I didn't know Tyrion was in this movie.
I geeked out in the movie.
I was like he's not playing like a he's playing like a dwarf giant
and it like it broke my brain but it made perfect sense i'm like this guy is he's like tyrian was
born to play this role new jersey's finest is he jersey uh of course i i of course you wouldn't
say jersey unless you knew he was jersey jersey they could just like smell it on each other
i love it it's one of jersey and long island it's you guys are fucking the opposite but the same
you guys are rivals because you're exactly basically alike yeah i didn't realize how
similar the two were until i met like glenny frankie ria that entire office crew tommy even
mush ev or ev might be a jersey guy. Ev is a Hoboken guy.
I think Ev is
like a
my area of New York. He's like
northern suburbs kind of a guy.
I could be wrong, but I think so.
Are you the only Jersey boy out of that
crew? Yeah, I think
I am.
Pretty sure, yeah.
Now we have obviously some more people in the office, but of that crew that came sure, yeah. Now we have obviously
some more people in the office, but of that crew that came
in, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Man, I really wish I could have seen this place humming
and just pumping out like mythical
weapons. Like that's, these are the
kind of things I think of during this movie
when you don't see the stone,
how he gets the power stone and just like, just seeing
these guys. You think it – Like Santa's workshop?
Yeah, exactly.
That could be a Marvel what if.
The random things that other people showed up to have made.
Yes, exactly.
In the pre-world.
Or like if a Thor or a movie goes back to like pre-Infinity War days, we could kind of like see them churning out some shit.
Listen, Marvel, we're constantly asking for shows.
We'll take anything.
We'll literally – if you just give us the IP of that planet on Nowhere with all those dwarves we could make or whatever.
That's not Nowhere.
That's –
Never believe it. I don's... I always just say
a bunch of...
Nowhere's the Skull Planet.
Nowhere, that was...
Yeah, that was where the character was.
Which is a great name.
All time.
When they said Nowhere, I was like, wait, that's a thing?
You know what's crazy?
We're probably an hour and 20 minutes into this movie right now,
and it feels, Titan always felt to me like it happened for so long,
like we spent so much of the movie there.
But it really is towards the end of the movie.
Or at least the heavy middle.
The late middle.
I'm 100% with you on that.
I love how they're all just using their powers in different ways to just try to get this thing
not to completely just explode
when it lands.
Also speaks to how much like uh how how uh well the movie flows yes
and it's the little things that they do and i i guess they kind of do this a little in guardians
when they go to different places but i just love the way they announce the different planets and
stuff like that the five years later like like little stuff like that like
the texting and all that stuff um that i guess is more that's like a handsome hank kind of thing
could i bet he appreciates that um it's awesome and then yeah like you have the guardians meeting
i mean i guess this is technically the avengers but just this crew it's it's so incredible and
i couldn't even tell you when it happened
in the movie because there's so much other shit
that goes down and this is a scene that I
think I forget about sometimes and
it's a great scene it has the great lines
yeah
who were
you rooting for in this scene like were you
rooting for anyone or you're just hoping no
one dies basically yeah i i honestly maybe it's a lame thing to say i'm just rooting for everyone
to be friends at this point like no no no you guys work together please the first time i watched it
i was like rooting for iron man and them because i'm like these guys are important i love the
guardians but you guys aren't going to save the world like these guys are. However, as I've rewatched it, I'm proud
that the scrappy-ass Guardians
fucking, like,
kind of, like, they played to at least
a draw against, you know,
two, I mean, Spider-
I guess Spider-Man's probably the least of the three
in terms of power rankings, and he's fucking Spider-Man.
But, like, Iron Man and a wizard
that has a time stone?
Pretty good job by them.
And Mantis does nothing.
She does nothing.
No, she just freaks Spider-Man out.
Yeah.
This is one of my favorite lines in the entire movie from Peter Quill.
What am I supposed to say?
Jesus.
Everything about this
is just perfect.
It highlights all of their personalities
like immediately for each
other.
And we can agree that
the James Gunn have
like a big part, big hand in
their stuff. So like that's why this
flows so well.
Tall guy, not that good. like a big part, big hand in their stuff. So that's why this flows so well. Yeah.
Tall guy, not that good looking, needed saving.
I mean, it's just, it's money.
It's exactly what he'd say.
Oh, yeah.
Let me break out the old Stormbreaker mold.
When do you think the last time they had that thing out was?
Christmas?
Do they make chocolate molds?
Do you think you could get a Stormbreaker whiskey ice cube tray?
I mean, now that Disney owns this, yes, you can.
It's 1995.
Oh, my God, yeah.
Give it five years.
You could go to Disneyland and make your own Stormbreaker with like smelted metal.
You'll be able to hold something open.
Disney, you heard our idea about getting these mythical weapons.
You could sell them all in the fucking gift shop for whatever price you want.
Like we were talking about on the Clones podcast, like the lights, make your own lightsaber.
Make your own mythical Thor weapon. You can make billions on it. You can make Mjolnir.
You can make Stormbreaker.
Put in an option for the shield.
Put in an option for Bucky's arm.
Just anything that you could pour something into a mold.
There you go.
Pop it out.
Yeah, change the color if you want.
Oh, my God.
Right now we're thinking outside the box.
We're not even talking movie stuff.
We're doing merchandising.
I know. We should stop even talking movie stuff. We're doing merchandising. I know.
We should stop giving them so many good ideas.
Here's Doctor Strange spoiling Endgame for himself.
Yep.
And it kind of – kick names, take ass, what a lot.
And it really does kind of go to like he's just watching Tony die in a bunch of different ways.
And then he just sees him and he's like,
I was thinking about this scene the other day.
I texted you, I was in the mood to watch Infinity War.
And I really was, because I was sitting in bed.
I had just woken up and I was thinking,
I wonder if there were alternate universes
that he had to sit through,
or just some random dipshit did a little tiny thing
and it caused the butterfly effect to go through
and like Tony dies again where he's just like
did that kid really have to trip on a
skateboard in front of Tony
it's like
Carol doesn't get her haircut
and that like throws off the entire thing
and it's the reason
why Tony has to do it
Thanos grabs her hair
and if she had just gotten the haircut it would have been fine
or something yeah
damn
and like I love that
again Peter Parker and his pop culture
knowledge and Quill just going back and forth
with each other is great.
It's like meeting someone that you have so many common interests with, especially in this squad.
The two of them definitely are the most similar.
They're the youngest together.
And it's basically like their times don't overlap at all because Peter was there in the 70s and – or Peter Quill was there in the 70s and Peter Parker was raised
now and it's like but they haven't
he knows enough from back then it's hilarious
the way it works out
just give him two man
just go back and look for the second
would have been a funny line if he was like two
and they're like alright we got options
we have options official
and then again Thanos really dude you had the fucking Would have been a funny line if he was like, two. And they're like, all right, we got options. We have options, official.
And then again, Thanos.
Really, dude?
You have the fucking space stone and you can't go anywhere closer?
Like, why does everyone have to walk in Vormir?
I bet it's probably pretty pleasant, though, right?
Like, I feel like it's like a, maybe a little humid, but it's a nice climate.
Yeah.
Probably feels like a nice summer evening.
Yes.
Oh,
like you use one of those right now. There is snow,
but I don't know.
I like to think that this mythical planet
just has snow and nice weather.
Yes,
agreed.
Because when he's in that puddle,
it feels like it's warm water,
at least in my mind's eye.
So this was a legit oh shit moment.
Huge shocker. Something that they definitely kept under wraps and gasps in the theater i'm so happy like and i i'm not even um i'm not a diehard cap guy like you are
but you know i did see the movie and just seeing red skull there you're just like what the fuck
and yeah it wouldn't have even been a big deal if someone had spoiled it
for me like it wouldn't have like broken my heart but just like that moment was so cool they said
like the theater gasps were legit and that's when again this movie just keeps going up a notch in
my book every time like as i was watching like oh we're on this level like we're gonna bring back
dead motherfuckers and have them just like and not only a dead motherfucker but like a dead motherfucker that was in one phase one movie never to be referenced ever again he that was like
it felt like they were rewarding you for being a diehard fan yes exactly that you can watch that
that's the best way to put it you could watch these movies without ever seeing them and enjoy
it and whatever but the more you watch the more
like you will enjoy them and the better they will get for you and i i re-watched this after seeing
movies i hadn't seen beforehand and i was just like man i wish i had seen them all i actually
wish i had seen them all i done i did the marathon before endgame and went straight in i saw a guy
after we left endgame who had just started the marathon because we got to go a couple days
earlier me and the clancy's and i was like dude you are going to be so happy you did
this and he was on like movie six at the time he was he was not long for this world i don't know
how he made it because he was fucked up so he was he was he tried he tried to he was like hey guys
you guys want some weed i'm like no man we're man, we're good. We're good. I'm like, I have like another two days of movies to watch, man.
Hit the brakes.
This is when I respected the Soul Stone too.
I'm like, oh, we're bringing back Red Skull for this.
And I didn't know, you know, I don't know what the hell the Soul Stone.
Did you ever figure out what was going to happen here until it actually happened?
Or were you just shocked?
Not at all.
And I like that the old stone was so different
that the other ones it's more of a
we're collecting them it's literally go to where they are
and kill whoever has it or
get it from them however you may get it from them
and this one it's like no there's a task you have
to accomplish this old stone
doesn't exist unless you do this thing
then you wake up with it
but this is I mean
I saw a tweet that said it a while ago and and I think about it every time I see her doing this.
Gamora was really talking reckless here.
You can't be talking this reckless.
She was talking real reckless here.
She's over and standing over the mountain right stories told on thanos's face in these in
this minute than like pretty much every non-batman part of the dc movies in like the last 30 years
right like you just feel like i i feel bad for him here i'm like man this fucking sucks and he
has to be like what are the odds that my daughter would be the one who knows where this is and the one thing i care about in this universe and this is how it fucking goes at this point you can't even
blame thanos for doing it because like it broke the perfect way for this to happen he can like
we made it all the way here yeah
we walked up this goddamn mountain together. Yeah.
And the look on her face when she realizes to talk about an expression
speaking a thousand words.
Yeah.
When the Red Skull guy says they're not for him,
you know it's true.
Because that fucking guy is just floating there as some fucking phantom
he's not fucking around with you he's not cracking jokes
her last ditch effort tries to kill
herself so he can't
do we know when he
ignored destiny once what that was?
Has that ever come up?
I don't know that story.
But I don't know if I'm supposed to know it in the thing.
But even if she runs, it does nothing.
Like you're hopeless right now.
The guy has fucking three stones on his hand right now.
You can do whatever he wants to you.
But yeah, I love that she tries to kill herself.
Which would have been a hell of a tie back with the thing that the perfectly balanced knife that he has.
And the bubbles, the bubbles got reactions, though.
Comedic relief, like in like the darkest moments, too.
Like it still made me chuckle.
I'm like, this guy fucking loves bubbles, which again, I love bubbles.
My kids go crazy for bubbles.
And I'll tell you, it makes perfect sense.
It's like peanut butter and jelly.
Bubbles are always awesome.
So is peanut butter and jelly.
Yet for some reason, we stopped using them.
And then he just launches his girl.
That's fucked up, man.
Brutal.
The same score that plays when Black Widow does the next movie.
Spoilers.
Talon Silvestri murders this shit.
No pun intended Gamora.
Sorry.
I could never imagine doing that to Sienna.
AJ.
Maybe.
Never.
Not even for a full Infinity Stone.
The whole gauntlet.
I do feel like there is some sort of maneuvering they could have done in the MCU to bring her back.
Because the Soul Stone is such a weird ass...
Gamora?
Yeah.
If they wanted to.
I know, I know.
But like real...
Oh, this Gamora.
This Gamora.
Because I really just hate that we've now lost that Gamora for good.
All the character building from the first two Guardians movies.
Like, it's one of my favorite arcs.
I mean, it's like her and Yondu are like two of my favorite people, you know?
And the way that they've gone in these series, and they're both just gone now.
Do you think Thanos wears socks?
Because if he does, I would be pissed to wake
up in that water. There's nothing worse than wet
socks. Nothing worse than wet
socks. Lieutenant Dan knew what he was saying
when keeping the socks dry. Not even with
the Soul Stone.
I bet he does, and they're like
thick, long, they're like
the longer white socks, you know what I mean?
They have like little red on the toe.
Yeah, they're dad socks. They're
dad construction worker socks. Thanos
wears those. I feel like those boots probably
do a good job of keeping you,
you know, can even keep you, you know, dry
in the waters of Vormir.
Trip God.
Trip God.
I have to say, Black Panther, I need to see something more out of him in the
next movie too oh wow he got his ass he got his ass kicked a few times by uh killmonger i i and
i i like black panther i need to see him really like do the do the character proud here i want
to see way more of the city of Wakanda.
I liked the last one,
but let's focus the entire next movie
in Wakanda.
Agreed.
The bowing is incredible.
That's the other thing.
Marvel hits those comedic moments,
and I think the original trilogy Star Wars did,
and I feel like they kind of botched some of them in the prequels,
if there even were any, and the sequels that I think some people liked,
and sometimes I felt they fell a little flat.
Yeah.
Great reunion there.
Great little reunion.
Ah, what's up, man?
Remember when you killed Tony Stark's parents?
Yeah, that was awesome dude
great
here's one of my favorite
new additions to the MCU Shuri
I like Shuri I think I might
like Shuri more than her brother to be honest with you at this
point she actually showed me one
she kind of stole the show in Black Panther for me
yeah I still think
I would like to see her
get the Iron Man suit in the future of the MCU.
Oh, that's right.
Yeah, I remember you brought that up.
I thought that was pretty interesting.
Is she – who's Iron Man right now?
Not right away.
I think really hold it down.
I think it's a girl.
I think it's a girl named Iron Woman, and I'm pretty sure it's a black girl named Riri, which –
Shuri?
Let's see. Yeah, that's why I was thinking it it's a black girl named, like, Riri, which, Shuri? Let's see.
Yeah, that's why I was thinking it might have been her, because I was like, I remember
blogging, I think I blogged about that
happening. So the character's name is Ironheart,
and it's, yeah, Riri Williams,
who is a black girl.
Ironheart is a pretty fucking cool character name, too.
Yeah, it is.
I love these little pods they just drop out of the Thanos
and they just like kill thousands of little creatures in there or whatever.
Man, in the MCUcu world talking coronavirus wakanda must have regretted opening its borders to the
world immediately after black panther you know what i mean when they went to the united nations
why couldn't we have waited just a year later i don't know if he survives that i think he gets
again can you impeach the black panther i feel like that's a problem if you do that, man.
They're like, this is exactly why we stayed hidden.
Great trailer line there Cap is definitely a
System quarterback though he needs that shield
Or I don't
That shield man it really pops
I never noticed how much to be fair though let me say this
He also doesn't have his whole suit so I think that's also
Part of my problem he doesn't have his suit on as well
And he has the beard Which makes him look a little different so i'm giving cap a little
too much shit right now because again you don't say it sounds like the story of your life
again he should have blown that fucking uh stone to smithereens in the opening credits and we would
have been fucking fine from here well listen you know what your guy tony stark was there with the
stone as well and he didn't do anything about it.
With who?
With the time stone?
Yeah.
A goddamn wizard was wearing it,
not some guy who asked him
to blow it out of his head.
Maybe they shouldn't have made
Vision in the first place.
I don't know, Clem.
You know what, Clem?
This is always a source of attention.
Unbelievable shots.
Steve Rogers every two
seconds.
Play us.
What's Trent's
Trent's thought on.
I imagine he's a Steve
Rogers guy.
He strikes me as a big
time captain.
I think he's more of an
Iron Man guy to be honest.
Really?
Yeah.
Wow.
I'll text him.
He's in his room right
now.
How's Trent making out
with this Corona
I think we're both
losing our minds Clem
because we got construction
in our closet now
people are hammering away
people are sawing away
in our building
it's outrageous
they were doing construction
from 11am to 2pm
the other day
Jesus
oh Tyrion's like
it's fucking working.
And no.
I texted Trent.
I said, do you like Iron Man or Captain America more?
We'll get an answer shortly.
I've been trying to order from non-chain restaurants
to help keep the places around me in business.
I've got to tell you, it's worth it.
It's worth ordering from restaurants around you because they have pretty good food.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, for us, we actually don't have a ton of chain restaurants around us.
We're a lot of local, and it's lovely.
It's lovely.
And it's so weird.
I mean, you go to the grocery store, you go to the restaurants,
everyone has gloves on.
There's just like this eeriness about it. It really is is one of the we're living in one of the weirdest times
man in human history it's fucking wild trent said uh iron man not even close ah yes my guy
my guy think of it this way at least you have each other because i couldn't imagine being without a
roommate and just being in isolation i would have probably like figured out a way to get home
and just be like i'll risk the rona to be like at home with my parents here. Cause I
couldn't do it like just completely by myself. Trent is like the perfect guy to have as a,
a quarantine. That should be a blog, best quarantine, like roommates or something like that.
I think someone did it back in the day, not back in the day, but like
back before we went quarantined, I want to say.
Really?
Yeah.
I know there was –
Chief might have done the blog.
Oh, that's right.
He did.
He did.
I remember that.
There's like the captains going out for the coin toss right here.
She's definitely – like Ebony would have been – it was like Ebony was supposed to be the other captain.
Obviously, he couldn't make it.
But she's definitely one of the...
She has the C on the jersey.
Big Man has the A on the jersey.
And that's how it's going here.
Ref is like, let's see a clean, fair game here.
They need to make...
I know they're making an Avengers video game,
but they need to make a really good Avengers video game avengers video game but they need to make a
really good avengers video game could you imagine how much fun this battle would be
they really fucked it up not having it right both sides too if you could play
trying to get the stone yes and then you could be thanos at some point oh my god that would be so
much like i never got to be thanos in um fortnite i
could never get all right i think i was him once but i like immediately died with him but it's just
so much fun could be to be thanos and that's the thing is like i remember when the the trailer came
out i was like like this isn't really the avengers that we're all falling in love with right now in the movie. It looked like a Rosard Avengers.
Yes.
That is so
many creatures.
I forgot
that someone said Rocket
says they're just like basic
paper
something. They're just like a shit
army. Toilet paper army basically. he's called like paper cause of something how they're just like a shit army toilet paper army basically and that's thanos again kind of take it i feel like he had a
obviously battle you know you want the numbers on your side but i feel like he could have gotten a
better set of troops that could have helped him out yeah and again i guess all these planets
going planet to planet killing half of them you would imagine one of them had an army where he
would be like oh shit let's just let me steal this army let me not kill half of them, you would imagine one of them had an army where he would be like, oh shit, let me steal this army. Let me not kill
half of their people and I'll say,
hey, I'll leave you all alive if I can have your
army. Maybe he needed guys
like us on his team cutting deals for him.
You know what? You know what I
just noticed too? Your boy Cap is so
impressed with these guys that they would sacrifice
themselves for their leader.
I bet Cap is like,
yo, I think I might join Thanos' side.
Get the fuck out of here.
You're out of your mind.
I think you...
We can't report...
That's fake news.
That's the mainstream media, Clem,
saying fake news over there.
We can't rely,
but if you look at that look,
he's kind of like,
these guys are my kind of people.
They're my kind of people.
They're creatures.
Whatever the fuck they are.
Dogs.
Nope.
That's not what he's saying at all.
I love this.
They realize they're like, oh shit, they're just going to go around
and use the back door.
Alright, open it up.
This is like the
guy down at Nakatomi. I'm down at
Nakatomi here.
I turned off a Christmas TV out of your fucking mind. Except like, it's This is like the guy down at Nakatomi. I'm down at Nakatomi here.
I'm going to turn off a Christmas Eve.
Are you out of your fucking mind?
Except, like, it's Black Panther.
That's all I'm going to do instead of some schmuck who works for Con Ed.
I love it.
Maybe I'll get a head tattoo like that in the quarantine.
Shave my head, get a head tattoo on the hair, and then regrow the hair so nobody knows I even got it.
Everyone coming out of this quarantine either buffed or fat and you're going to come out tatted.
I love it.
I love it.
14, 15 has already started here.
I've already, I've gone, I went like a good year or so without even looking in the snack
aisle.
I just, whatever the kids have, I'll taste here and there.
I was at Costco last week.
I was like, bag of Doritos.
Like it was like $2 for like Costco-sized bag of Doritos.
I'm like, we're getting this because I fucking need something to make me feel better right now.
Yeah, I've now officially put a pretty good dent into the...
The Mama Fox.
The Mama Fox dropped off, yeah.
That's like when you have the Killstreak and Call of Duty.
It's like the, you know, you get like seven different and call of duty it's like the you know you get
every you get like seven different boxes drops that's what she gave you she gave you everything
under the sun she'll probably parachute more in if she has to if like it gets really bad and we're
on lockdown and shit she'll perish you who's arizona's and everything.
I love he calls him boy, too.
Fucking Thor.
Thor's thanking his lucky stars right now that he didn't do arms at the gym yesterday.
He's not sore today.
That's what he means.
Another one that just crushed the delivery in the theater.
Oh, yeah.
I will say, this has some great moments in it.
Great movie to watch in the theater. I think Endgame is the best movie of all time to watch in the theater.
Have you ever gotten reactions like you got at the end of Endgame?
I've never gotten that reactions like that you got at the end of it I've never gotten
that many and that loud and I so we all saw it multiple times in the first weekend where a lot
people were watching it for the first time I don't there's nothing even close I wonder if the end of
Jedi maybe but um I don't know what else could have even been close I think it's gotta be Endgame
Endgame was like a movie that felt like it was designed
for that first theater experience
where there were so many moments and so many callbacks
and so many Easter eggs.
The moment where Cap gets the hammer
and goes on that complete fucking tear on Thanos
where he just hits the craziest combo,
brings the lightning down and everything,
hits that first uppercut.
The crowd was literally, people are standing.
People were, every hit, oh, oh, oh.
He says assemble.
People were cheering, screaming.
I've never experienced anything like that.
This would be the closest thing, would be Infinity War,
and specifically this moment that's about to come up.
Yep.
Which I think at the time I didn't realize like how much I must have been geeking
out during it because it still hits
like a fucking like an axe every single time.
It hits so well.
It's the axe and this is my
guy Big Shot Bob
Ori. That's who Groot is. He's not
the fucking you know he's not a 10 time all star. He's not the fucking, you know, he's not a 10-time
All-Star. He's not an All-Pro.
But when you need a big fucking
shot, Groot is there.
Sacrifices himself,
if he has to.
We are Groot is one of the biggest
shots in the MCU history.
Yes. And then he just takes
out a fucking arm here.
Slices it.
Which is so cool too I love that his arm is the handle of Stormbreaker
it makes that weapon so much cooler
I forget
and then when I watch the movie I'm like oh yeah that's right
and then I fall in love with Stormbreaker all over again
yeah Stormbreaker listen
Mjolnir a phenomenal weapon
you'll never find me trashing it.
Stormbreaker is such a cool badass, like lives up to its predecessor weapon.
I'm all in on it.
And it's such a crazy different weapon, and it still just delivers.
It gets a big moment endgame, gets to slice Thanos' head off for real.
That's right, that's right.
So what does he have right now?
Does he have Stormbreaker or does he have Mjolnir?
No, Mjolnir's
destroyed in Ragnarok.
But does Cap bring it back with him?
Yeah, Cap brought back Mjolnir
to give to the
former Thor, so he's just got Stormbreaker
going forward.
Oh god, This fucking hits every
single... I'll just watch this scene
if I need a little, like, I'm gonna do a blog
or I'm just kind of in a rut, I'll just
throw this scene on. Even with all the
Endgame stuff, every time
it's Sylvester, you fucking
beautiful man, you with this song!
And kudos
to whoever made the brilliant call
to put Rocket Raccoon on his shoulder when they first
show up because that's the visual that's the visual that does it for me it's like Rocket
Raccoon on his shoulder Groot standing badass next to him this right here his eyes glowing up as he
jumps oh bring me Thanos too and like you know we talk a lot Cap versus Iron Man when he's popping
and he's lightening it up,
Thor might be my favorite of them all when he's really clicking.
When he's got the lightning in his eyes,
there's few things in the world better.
It's so good.
Bring me Thanos!
And then if anyone hasn't seen the remade version of it where they play Immigrant Song, because that's where he – his song of Ragnarok fucking hits too, man.
It's a must.
Do the kids still say slaps?
Is it still a thing?
You could say slaps, yeah.
Slaps.
I take it the Maw is – oh.
The way this day extracts a heavy toll, just like the fucking heaviness of his words, I fucking love it.
Do you think he was more upset i think he might have been more upset about more than it was about camora there i feel like uh yeah he looked around he's like oh i like that guy
i was his frankie he's like i'm gonna have to find a new ebony ball
imagine we all come back from like covid and then we go in the office and like d He's like, I'm going to have to find a new Ebony ball. Imagine we all come back from
COVID and then we go to the office and
Dave's like, I take it
Frankie didn't make it.
Dave strikes a heavy toll.
Superheroes always look so cool when they have a little bit of blood on their forehead i feel like i want to go to one of those face painting places and they're like what do you
want to be a tiger a fucking unicorn a spaceman an alien no just put like a little bit of blood
on my eyebrow yeah it does the job It'll make me look really cool.
A little dirt.
That always goes a long way.
Yeah, it's like, you guys had like a couple hours to, you know, waiting for the guy.
He could have cleaned up a little bit more.
His hair still looks fucking great.
Yeah, it does.
As a guy who couldn't keep his hair still reacting
to a McGregor knockout.
Yes.
What a moment. Hard hardest choice to require that thanos is just a quote machine man i don't know if he went on like a quote like
a quote board before he went on this fucking infinity war and just was like let me have
these righty in my pocket but he just drops dimes left and right during this shit.
Quills,
uh, Heelys that make him fly are the coolest things in the world.
I hope in the future we have like some kind of rocket propelled boots like
that.
Everyone's all about the Iron Man suit right now.
Like that dude who didn't,
uh,
was a guitar or whatever that has it.
Like let's focus on the Quill stuff
if that's possible here.
The flip-up helmet that he's got,
that's one of the coolest helmets in the whole MCU.
I love the way it looks
when they first come in, that scene where they
first meet on Titan.
How the eyes just light up
red in the dark, like it looks so badass.
Middle finger there. red in the dark. Like, it looks so badass. Middle finger there.
Drops a finger.
They should make his...
They should make a weighted blanket out of his cape.
They should make it look like his cape.
The same shape, you know?
I'm telling you.
Another first-class idea for Disney.
Disney's like everyone else is going to need to make up all this money
they're losing right now, and they're just going to just take our ideas.
They're not even going to be fucking cute about it.
Oh, he went Mando.
He went Mando.
He went with the fire.
And he did a better job with it than Mando ever did in a million years.
Big clothesline there.
Boom! The old fucking spaceship
crash. Yeah, and then a run-in.
The plan, right? I think
today...
No, they didn't know she was coming in.
Because she calls out Mantis later, but
it's not now.
Calls his daughter a waste of parts.
Some real Alec Baldwin shit right there.
I did some Alec Baldwin.
This is badass.
I don't know why we didn't go with the fruit by the foot fucking Dr. Seuss.
Love that.
That is cool.
Those things always work too. Quill's fucking anti-gravity things. things always work, too.
Quill's fucking anti-gravity things.
They got Iron Man, too.
They got Iron Man and Thanos down.
I mean, that's impressive.
That's a good one, too.
That's a good resume.
And you want to talk about someone who probably didn't, like,
who probably spared a couple expenses here on his parts?
I guarantee Quill wasn't going to, you know,
the top-of-the-line equipment, you know, with the Ravagers.
Yeah.
Shout-out Mantis for getting him down too, again she doesn't do much but what she
can do, she has a very specific
set of skills
when I think
could she really get that down? I'm like well she took down
a planet so she could definitely
god or whatever you want to call him
and it's so perfect that
like you said it's such a
specific skill but it works so perfectly because she doesn't need to they have someone for
everything everything get to the point now with the avengers with the guardians where you give
little specific talents to people that will only come in handy like almost an r2d2 type talent
yeah like all right just put your little spoke in there, twist it around a little bit, R2.
You're going to save the day.
Everyone's going to
love you for it.
And she does like,
she has a couple
comedic lines like
R2 does,
right?
Oh,
yeah.
I'm happy she's around.
I'm in on Mantis.
You know,
I found out Mantis
was in Uncut Gems.
She's one of the
girls that leaves
his apartment.
Like,
I think it's like
when there's like,
he has all the
chicks at the apartment or whatever.
She's like – I think her name is Alexis or something.
And I was like, man, this wasn't that?
What the – because I saw the actress's name one day.
I was like, what else was she in?
I was shocked.
Yeah.
Of course our girl from Jumanji.
We've talked about her.
Every time she's on screen, I feel like we have to bring up how she's like the hottest girl in the world.
And that goddamn dance. Jumanji 2 was such a disappointment, man. Oh, I feel like we have to bring up how she's like the hottest girl in the world. And that goddamn game.
It was such a disappointment, man.
Oh, I was going to watch it.
So I guess I'm not going to watch it now.
Yeah, it's quill.
Quill, just an all-time just, ah, Charles.
Look how close they were.
That hurts.
They nailed that little wiggle was the perfect like. They got the thumb out. They nailed... That little wiggle was the perfect, like...
They got the thumb out.
They nailed it.
They nailed what that would look like
if you were that close to getting that out.
He just literally kicks Drax off his leg
like Drax was holding onto his foot
as a little child, like, dragging along.
Let me throw this planet at you.
Robert Downey Jr.,
a massive UFC fan.
Is he really?
Massive.
I just love
how
I literally just threw a planet at him and like
his face showed everything there
and this is something I didn't like
acknowledge the first few times I watched this movie
is like how everyone is just
floating in the sky right now and
potentially going to die if they like
just fall back to the planet
it's crazy how that just is going on
I haven't really I didn't really pick that up on that the first
few times I watched it
come and get some space toys I love this crazy how that just is going on. I didn't really pick that up on that the first few times I watched it.
Come and get some space, Phillips.
I love this.
So great.
Such a good duo that you would never expect to see team up, but that would
team up in the comics.
Back in the
days, a duo like this would probably team
up just based on an artist
being like, I've never drawn these characters standing next to each other i bet that would be fun yeah exactly
i love their their relationship too just because like the the way that they were in the first few
movies they were kind of similar in that regard too, right? Yeah. The god and the, like, the good guy, the super good guy.
Just fucking blow the goddamn thing up.
Come on, Scarlet Witch.
We have a goddamn universe to protect here.
Yeah, really.
You're getting on my guy Cap for not doing it.
Why don't you get on your girl Elizabeth Olsen for not doing it?
Well, I think it's a little different.
That's her, like, so different.
She should have done it way earlier than she eventually did.
That's her sex toy there.
She can't just fucking blow her sex toy out.
There's more than just...
There's a little more than just feelings involved here.
There's multiple kinds of feelings involved here.
That's true. She does want that USB.
I'm bummed out about Black Widow, man.
I was looking forward to that.
Yeah.
I didn't know how far they were,
and I was like,
all right, let's go.
Disney Plus.
Let's get it going.
We're going to be good during this quarantine.
That would be awesome if we did get it.
I saw so many people, I think we talked about this on the pod as well,
that weren't excited about it.
My big thing is, Marvel, when was the last time they put out a movie that you walked out of super disappointed?
It really rarely happens.
At worst, Captain Marvel was a movie that a lot of people thought
was middle of the line that I would agree with.
I think Captain Marvel was a very enjoyable movie,
but it was middle of the line Marvel. I agree with. I think Captain Marvel was a very enjoyable movie, but it was middle of the line
Marvel. I ranked it 11 or 12 in the whole MCU.
If Black Widow
was as good as Captain Marvel, if I had
the same level of enjoyment for those two movies,
I would be incredibly satisfied.
Yep.
I mean, like, it's
things where you're going with certain expectations or
whatever, but, like, for what they are, too,
again, if you go back to...
Put those movies back in the 90s to early 2000s
when everything stunk, right?
Or wasn't that great,
and I think they hit on a different level
than they were expecting.
You know they're going to tease something.
You know there's a movie that is going to be made
in the post-credits scene
that will probably blow everyone's mind.
Yeah.
Kevin Feige does it right.
Listen, the time is not now everyone's mind. Kevin Feige does it right. Listen, the time is not
now to start doubting
Kevin Feige after he made
Endgame and stuck the landing and whatnot.
Now we just
stay with this next phase? Alright,
let's see what you got here. Now you have a whole
new set of extra patients. We don't have to worry
anymore. We know. The product will be
good. He'll put out some good shit for us.
And I know that might make us shills, but I am
more than okay with being
called a shill after he gave me
as much enjoyment as I've gotten out
of these movies.
And again, I do think, like you said, Captain Marvel was a movie
that had some...
I think there was
a better movie there. They could have done more
with it, but again,
they could have done more with a lot. They could have done...
All these movies could have been not as
awesome as they were. I'm going to take what I can get
and be very happy with it.
I thought we were getting Hulk here. I thought this was the moment
Hulk was going to come. I really thought this was the moment.
This had to be the moment in the movie where
it originally happened, right?
I know there were reshoots.
I know in the movie, there are toys of the Hulk bursting out of the Hulkbuster.
In the first cut of the movie, Hulk was definitely in here.
Another creative kill here.
Very creative.
Yeah, I like the way that they did that.
Sends him dragging into the dome.
And then this one's just gross.
Yeah, this one...
Again, I feel like she earned that
she earned that moment more than these other guys
did right yeah
vision you are such a
yeah
Steve Rogers
office linebacker I also wonder what Proxima
Maximus Proxima Midnight
whatever her name is
I wonder what she looked like on set
I wonder how much of that was CG, makeup
ah yeah
I gotta look up to see what her
who's that actress Ah, yeah. I gotta look up to see what her...
Who's that actress?
Alright, Vision coming up big here.
Yep, finally doing something.
Pretty good moment.
Cool visual.
Vision's the guy in the tag team match that's been hurt the entire match.
Yeah.
Man, you're still fucking hurt.
He's just always,
you're waiting for him to give the hot tag
to his partner the entire match
and his partner
to be fair
is like the baddest
chick in the world
yeah so Peter Parker
just saving all these
people
I don't know
like I must have
missed it like the
10 times I
because it's like
there's so much
shit going on
I forget that like
Peter Parker is just
saving all these
goddamn lives
of people he doesn't
even know
he's apologizing
to them
I love that
it's such a good
like it's the Tom Holland Peter Parker it's so his character to be like lives of people he doesn't even know. He's apologizing to them. Great. It's such a good, like,
the Tom Holland, Peter Parker,
it's so his character to be like,
I'm sorry I know your names.
Yup.
Doctor Strange's full capabilities here. I think this movie
had, myself included,
a lot of people gained a new
respect for Doctor Strange, even after his solo movie,
which is good.
I really like his movie,
but you realize how powerful he is in this scene.
You're like, oh shit.
And how much cool stuff he could do.
I love it.
Thanos is so one-minded.
He's just thinking of the goddamn stone at all times.
The goddamn magician he's facing off with.
But I hope with this next Doctor Strange movie,
we get to see some more cool shit.
Because another moon at me.
That moonlight.
That's such a fucking move right there.
It's not even...
It's like the atomic bomb.
It's not even just about destroying people with the atomic bomb.
It's letting people know you have atomic bombs.
Just letting you know, I can make moons and throw them at you.
It's like incredible fucking flex.
This might be the best pure fight sequence in the movie right here.
Like the little moment where Iron Man starts fucking up down us a little bit. gets a tiny bit of an upper hand, gets the speck of blood.
All that for a drop of blood.
Boom, the kick, the spin around punch, that's good stuff. I love this story still
in the New York Times review for this movie
that the critics said there was one person
in the theater that
in a pivotal
moment in the movie screamed no
at the top of his lungs, which was this moment
and the patron in the theater was
Kevin Smith. Really?
Yeah.
He said he screamed at the top
of his lungs when Iron Man got stabbed. He was like
no!
This one hurt me. It's such a good fake out
because everyone believed it too.
Going into Infinity War, the big question was like, who are they going to kill off?
Who are they going to kill off?
Is it going to be one of the main characters?
They got me in real time for sure.
No, me too.
Me too.
And I think I like actually like reacted.
I was like, oh, like I felt like I got stabbed.
I was like, oh, no.
Little did we know.
Little did we know. Little did we know.
I know that they were going to put our heart together just to break it all over again.
And give him a daughter,
an adorable goddamn daughter along the way.
They're like, no, no, don't worry.
We're just going to make it way worse for you.
But now, this scene slaps even harder after End game knowing what he's gonna have to go through
to get to that one scenario so good so fucking good these movies are i know it's a weird time
to be in the world right now coronavirus is it sucks but i'm very grateful we are alive in the
time that the MCU came out.
Yes.
Yep.
Like,
yeah,
when you put it like that,
all these different times we're living in,
I'm very happy we're in this for this right here.
So you got to take the littlest positives you could get.
I remember my theory went so ham into this,
the way that Thanos looks at this stone,
and the way that I thought this stone was sent into the future for the Avengers,
and sent back into this scene, and Strange sent it to himself, and he knew.
If you go back, one of the first episodes of this podcast we did
was our pregame show for Endgame.
You could hear us talk about theories that turned out to be wrong, some turned out to be true.
I got to rewatch, I got to re-listen to that before and then go back and see how we did.
Because we had no idea what was coming towards us, too.
We probably didn't give it enough respect of what it was about to do to us, which I think is why it is where it is in everyone's mind right now.
Yeah, we are.
Oh, by the way, this is the first podcast, I guess, in the second year of My Mom's Basement.
We've officially passed the one-year mark.
It's March 25th.
We did it.
We made it a year at Barstool Sports with a nerdy niche podcast without getting canceled.
I love that. Thank you to everyone
that has been downloading, rating,
reviewing, subscribing, whatever
you can do to help the podcast.
Been tweeting us.
Thank you to Clem for being a co-host
on probably half of these things at this point.
Truly my pleasure.
I love Thor. Thor
basically just running the Captain Marvel role,
just taking out everyone by himself that he has to.
Yeah, Thor's got the star in Mario right now.
Which, by the way, you've been playing a ton of Switch
with the Smitty, Rhea, Hank squad, that whole crew.
Do you think it would be possible for me to get a Switch on Amazon right now,
or do you think that's all fucked up?
Because Rhea was texting me, and she's like,
I think he would have so much fun if he played Switch with us. And I was like, I think
he would too. And they're coming out with...
Did you see their remastering episode one Podracer
for Switch?
Oh, I saw someone about that. I didn't know they were
remastering it though. Yeah.
I would definitely
buy one. I heard
they were sold out,
but if you can get it, I would definitely get
it. 100 billion percent get it.
This, Thanos' arrival
with the sound, it's just, the music
is just dread. Another,
like, I almost want to just listen to the music and
just, like, that's the coronavirus'
theme song, is this fucking song.
Like, it fucking, when it showed up in the
US, you could have just put
boom, boom.
I actually had, like, a meme in mind where it was like coronavirus
and then thanos was the coronavirus and then it's like nba season first guy boom
that's all that's the iron hulk or whatever boom there goes the nba season march bad and then march
madness was like the one that was fighting a Captain America at the end there. This scene too, the slow motion way they do it,
it's just such like
hopelessness.
Yes. I mean, he's cutting...
There's nothing these people could do. Yeah, there's just nothing.
He's cutting through the Avengers like a
knife through hot butter.
A hot knife through butter. It's crazy.
There... no pun intended,
but like, it feels like they're putting off
the inevitable.
Yup.
And even here,
I'll admit, there was a big part, a huge
part of me going into this movie
where I said, I bet this movie
ends with the snap. I knew the snap happened
in the comics. I hadn't read the comic
before I saw this movie. I read Infinity
Gauntlet afterwards.
But I, it's one of the most
famous comic arcs across
any comic book ever, so I was like, I bet
they'd do the snap. It'd be iconic, whatever.
There's a big part of me watching the
movie in the theater, and this is the
telltale sign of a great movie that enthralls
you this much. There's no part of me thinking
about the snap at this point. I was thinking,
alright, here we go. Destroy the
stone. It's going to be a sad thing. We're going to
have to kill Vision here.
But then, you know, we'll
figure it out in the next movie.
When he turns back time,
actually hits the snap, and half the Avengers
are dead, I was jaw
on the ground.
At that point, I almost
applaud him. I'm like, that was a hell
of a plan you had, Thanos.
And this is also coming from a Thanos guy.
But, god, what a
fucking... The guy just executed,
man.
Poor Groot. I love Groot.
Your twins don't stand a chance
against this guy. You're the one guy.
It's almost not even worth it, Groot.
Just go lay down.
Great effort from Cap here, though.
Great effort.
Hit him with a left, right, a little uppercut,
and then he grabs the glove.
Thanos is like, what in the fuck?
I do give him credit.
That's just human fucking... The heart of a in the fuck? I do give him credit. Like, that's just human fucking,
the heart of a human right there,
giving him all he can take.
And even, he knows,
Cap's holding Thanos' glove,
so he knows he's about to be overpowered.
But that look he gives him is just a,
kind of a final fuck you.
I'm not going down without a fight.
Elizabeth Olsen, great acting from her.
Yep.
Being torn apart. Sensor shockwave through all the trees.
It's so cool.
The special effects
in this movie.
I don't think they did
win the Oscar for this
which if they didn't
I don't know how.
Because even the subtle stuff that...
I think Thanos should have won everything
for the fucking Oscars.
I get so mad about, like...
Oh, God.
Wasn't Captain Marvel the movie
that got nominated that year, too?
Or Black Panther. Black Panther got nominated.
This movie.
Yeah, it's so... I understand the too? Or Black Panther. Black Panther got nominated. This movie. I understand the cultural relevance
of Black Panther. It's so tough
to put that
against Infinity War and then with
a straight face say nominate one of them
for Best Picture and have it be
Black Panther and not this.
Yes.
Imagine how useful this would be in real life.
Oh, I mean, yeah, I could think, I could think, the dude with the fucking eating the bat, we could have stopped that shit from going down.
Yeah.
God damn it.
Speaking of which, breaking news on the pod here.
What's that?
James Dolan has coronavirus.
Oh, is that where you're blogging up a storm?
Yeah, I just started.
We don't like this.
On my mom's basement, we don't celebrate people getting the coronavirus.
But if we were to celebrate someone getting the coronavirus, which we would not do, let me make that very clear.
I would never do that.
It would be James Dolan.
Yeah, right in this blog, I am
on eggshells right now.
I'm like, how do I write this blog
without dancing on a potential man's grave?
It says he's fine. How old is he?
Early 60s.
Alright, I mean, he's
in his 60s.
If it was anything else, like
Harvey Weinstein is easy. I wrote Harvey Weinstein
had it. That was an easy block.
Right.
Right.
Definitely.
Like being like James Dolan also has like paid for,
Oh God,
not letting the James Dolan ruin this fucking moment.
He's ruined everything else.
Hasn't he ruined enough?
Yeah.
I mean, the theater is about to pop.
It's fucking... The refs kind of...
My theater was literally cheering.
Literally cheering.
And I remember seeing it the second and third time
as my theater's cheering, thinking,
these people don't even know what's about to hit them. and there it is
just like that
the snap of a finger
and then you're just like
what the fuck
of all your own love
gone
this threw me
to a wall.
Alright, what are we doing?
I remember seeing theories that
everyone else was trapped
inside the Soul Stone and that
this was the inside of the Soul Stone.
That is what it is though. Is that not what it is? I that not what it is or is this just like it is yeah i think i
think this might be yeah and then you saw the when morgan when they have tony stark with his
daughter they kind of redid this which was not as well yeah it's a um but like i i always get
mad for thanos he probably had this guy that snap in his mind for so long of how he was going to do it in the
moment.
And he kind of just had to like,
put it together like hastily.
Cause he was about to get a fucking ax through the heart.
And I'm kind of upset for him as again,
not pro Thanos,
but like,
I kind of feel sorry for him.
I don't know if you've learned your lesson.
You might be a John Jones slipping into Thanos life every now and
then.
That's true.
That's true.
I mean, Corona is already trying to become my ally, apparently, so I might have to be careful.
Oh, I just love how he just ghosts, too.
Blood on the ass and just fucking spaces his way out.
I heard some typing and I was like, something must have just broken.
It must be some late-breaking news.
James Dolan with coronavirus is a big one.
That's a big one. That's a big one.
And I can't just not put anything up here, too.
I'll get fucking roasted. I just
checked the Twitter feed. I got the Twitter feed
and I'm getting, where is it, Clem? Where is it?
You're like, Thanos just snapped, guys.
He literally just snapped.
The Avengers are disintegrating.
I remember when I saw your reaction to it and you were just like,
you couldn't really get your mind.
You couldn't really say anything, obviously, but you were just like, you couldn't really get your mind or like, you couldn't really say anything, obviously.
But you're just like, you're saying, how is this?
It was high.
It was low.
It was just like your emotions.
And I'm like, how?
And then I saw something like, oh, yeah, that's how you're like, soul is just basically put into a blender.
That was such a twist.
And obviously, once you saw Black Panther go there, all right, they're coming back because Black Panther made a bazillion dollars.
And you can't just have
him go after one movie and it's such an important character for the universe and then this one gets
me and what does he say father is that what he's saying dad yeah oh i want to throw up it makes me
feel so i will people complained about the like knowing the characters would come back.
They were like, well, obviously, Black Panther and Spider-Man are going to come back.
I would have rather they did it the way they did it here, where you actually take away important characters that we love and care about.
Then if they would have like just killed all the secondary characters and made us wonder if they're going to bring them back in Endgame.
Like, no, that wouldn't have hit as hard. I would say in the theater,
Black Panther consistently got the most shocked reaction
for who faded away,
and Peter Parker got the saddest,
where you could hear, like, children crying.
Yeah, that...
Peter Quill was a big one, too,
where when he started to go, people were like,
Oh!
And, like, because you think, like, all right, the you think, like, alright, the big guys will be alright, the big guys will be alright, and
he felt like the leader of the Guardians, obviously,
think is going to be fine. I guess Black Panther kind of
threw that out the window, but still. Oh, man,
that's just the way Peter would go down, too.
Yeah.
There's no other way
and those fuckers
the Russo brothers
for months
we just wanted to know
what the name of Endgame was
just like the rise of Skywalker
it was the only thing we knew
and they said
we'll give you one hint
the name of the movie
was never spoken
in Infinity War
and it fucking was
yeah
I mean I mean this is like meme city too you know what i mean
meme city i don't feel so good mr stark oh there was a lot of nick stuff and i remember i think it
was the warriors like a lot of this went right into and I remember, I think it was the Warriors.
A lot of, this went right into the, which was the other thing, too, is we never got,
like, I remember once these movies came out on digital is when you could get, like, the really good GIFs, the really good memes.
It was like crystal clear.
I remember all the blurry GIFs.
Like, still, I feel like in my head, I remember the lighting of the blurry GIFs.
Yes.
Leaving these two alone together,
like the way they plotted everything out as well,
leaving Tony to just have to live with his failure there.
So good, so good.
There's not enough good things I could say about these movies. I know we probably sound like broken records at this point,
but Infinity War into Endgame,
it's as perfect as I could have ever wanted them to go.
Yep.
And just like, I mean,
we are all basically Vision at this point.
Our souls look like Vision after that was done with.
Just setting in what just happened what a gorgeous place this looks like the original self-isolator
now thanos everything across the board
50-50 right when he went for that snap
he's not saying save my guy save whatever
and I would appreciate that about him
he's probably saying don't kill me
he's probably saying alright number one here
he's cool everyone else
this feels a lot different right now than it did a month ago i know that smile that goddamn smile
he won he won unbelievable what a feeling that movie puts in your gut
and even like this the outro i mean yeah the music it just it gives you energy it just
fills you with dread it's bittersweet yeah that was infinity war folks we did it the recorder is
still going finally it's been a long time coming there's no – obviously there's no post-credits and everything.
Oh, no.
I'm sorry.
There's a post-credits.
There's a great post-credits.
Should we keep it rolling?
Yeah, we'll keep it rolling until the post-credits.
Remind everyone while we're waiting for that, if you haven't subscribed yet, we would really appreciate that.
I know that the podcast listening schedules for everyone are fucked up because you're probably not going to work the way you were before and if you are if you're an essential worker we appreciate you
thank you um but make sure you're still downloading if you haven't rated and reviewed that helps us as
well and look out for episodes coming sporadically randomly i'll probably have an episode right now
we have interviews scheduled for wednesday and friday look out for those two massive wrestling interviews and i don't mean for those. Two massive wrestling interviews,
and I don't mean that lightly.
I mean massive wrestling interviews.
One that we've had on From the Top Rope before.
One person that we've never spoken to before
that will blow people's minds, I think.
Yeah, Clem, what else?
What do you have to plug while we're waiting for...
I mean, same old.
We got Podfathers.
I mean, we're in this weird world.
We're just recording everything at home.
I don't even know what is what anymore.
I don't even know, man.
I mean, we got to believe like Mets season is TBD.
You guys are still watching the show on SNY?
Yeah, exactly.
That was today. There was another one they lost. The virtual Mets are 0-2 right now just to kind of let you know. watching the show on SNY. Yeah, exactly.
Today there was another one they lost.
The virtual Mets are 0-2 right now just to kind of let you know where I stand and why I'm not on.
I'm honestly like cancel the season, move it back to August.
I honestly don't give a shit.
The less Mets in my life, the better it turns out.
I don't need that stress in my life.
And we're supposed to be decent this year.
And, hey, if we want to do some uh
some wrestling pay-per-views or like you said even if it's like a match or wrestlemania and
old school shit i uh um i again i i grew up i love the the 80s and 90s stuff but the attitude
era i've really been into these days i've been i've gone back there it's just been oh so we
should go do wrestlemania 17 it's like the consensus best
wrestlemania headlined by rock and austin that's the end of the attitude era most people would
consider that it's where austin shook hands with mcmahon at the end and they made that alliance
i don't like the you know i don't like the heel turn at the end but wrestlemania itself is amazing
it's got the tlc match on it with edge and and Christian versus the Hardys versus the Dudleys. It's got a three-way with Kane, Big Show, and Raven for the Hardcore Championship.
It's a great WrestleMania.
That moment when Austin shook his hand, I remember being like, this is bad.
It was almost like seeing people vanish away at the end of Infinity War.
It's like, no, this is bad. Not only does like seeing people vanish away at the end of Infinity War. It's like, no, this bed
not only does it hurt me as a fan,
it's like that was a terrible move
and unless they have, again,
they were like Kevin Feige.
They were hitting at all angles, right? For the most part,
they had some obvious
missteps along the way, but
I was like, you know what? I believe they'll figure
out a way to make this work, and that was
the death of the Attitude Era, man.
That was such a bummer that they did that.
And Stone Cold, he said it with you, right?
Like he knew at the time he wasn't really – he had to get kind of convinced to do that, right?
He wasn't really feeling it.
He said since, yeah, he wishes that if he could go back now, he said he would shake Vince McMahon's hand.
He would cheers him with a beer and he would hit a Stone Cold stunner.
And the next night say, of course course I'm not on your team.
You know, I would never do that.
The heel turn that he got out of it, the heel run he got out of it,
there was some decent stuff in there.
Like, he did some comedy work that, looking back,
is some of the funniest, he cut some of the funniest promos of his career.
But when you consider it might have been the end of the Attitude Era,
that's where things get tough.
That's where things get tough, you know.
Still waiting around for this post-credits scene.
If you're watching with us, you know that.
And when Bob says
he has big-time guests,
I mean, you have big-time guests. You get the fucking...
I mean, what'd you say? Dana White
is your number three most
used co-host these days.
It's you, then Jared, and then
Dana White.
This guest is Dana White Big.
I'll say that.
Dana White Big.
Yeah, the guest I'm talking about.
And obviously it's not like an in-person interview
that we could set up.
It's a phoner.
But Dana White Big and in the wrestling room.
So there's the hint that I'll give.
He's a wrestler.
It's not Vince.
We're not talking to Vince.
I can't wait until we end this recording And you tell me who it is
So I'm going to know before I eat
Yeah you definitely will
That's the thing Bob
You're like oh yeah we did this today
We did that today
What the hell is going on
That's with everything in Barstool
Bob Saget was in the office the other day
Kevin Bacon I think I saw Kevin Bacon I let him in the office the other day. He was just walking by. Kevin Bacon.
Kevin Bacon.
I think I saw Kevin Bacon.
I let him in the door.
I'm not sure if it was him.
And he was just like wandering the hallways like without anyone like guiding him around.
How about this beer pong tournament?
This virtual beer pong tournament hosted by Post Malone.
Fucking Marty Mush and Dana Beer in it.
It's so fucking great.
It makes no goddamn sense.
It makes no goddamn sense. It makes no goddamn sense.
How many names were associated with this movie, by the way?
It always boggles my mind.
Like, those are all real people.
And they all had a part to do.
And, like, this was their, like, life for six months, whatever it took for their part of the thing.
Oh, yeah.
And, like, I guess there's, like, a million ways.
Like, I guess if, like, the Dolly i guess if like the dolly grip if gregory
m dressel fucked up it probably wouldn't have been the worst thing in the world like everyone
has to be pretty good at what they do to make this shit as good as it is you know what i mean
obviously the people at the top and the actors are kind of the ones we see but there's people
behind the scenes that are huge and all this i i have you have you ever gotten a credit i'm trying
to think what would you i feel like jifty low probably gotten a credit i'm trying to think what would you
i feel like jifty lopry has a credit or two on there right for a movie has he ever gotten any
credit on um there's a tv show uh it was like a youtube show called video game high school
and i funded it on kickstarter and i think my name is in the credits because of that but i
think that's it's not like i didn't do anything on it, you know what I mean? Yeah.
But it was made by a channel called Freddie W.
back in the day.
They're a channel that
eventually now is called
Rocket Jump.
And they would just make
like little action movies
and they said,
hey, we want to make a series.
And it wound up being pretty,
it was a little cheesy,
but very like watchable.
Jeff D. Lowe definitely
has credits though.
Definitely.
Jeff D. Lowe having a Jeff Lowe in this world
that is the most hated man on the internet right now.
You know Jeff Lowe.
There's got to be a part of him that hates that,
that really does hate that.
Look at the digital artist, by the way,
on the screen right there.
Digital artist.
There are a thousand.
Thousand.
This guy did the third fold of Thanos' chin. This guy did the third fold of Thanos' chin.
This guy did the fourth fold of Thanos' chin.
And each took three months.
Yeah, exactly.
Like, those people's lives were hell doing this movie.
Shots, motion, optical assets.
Look development.
Production.
That's the one thing, like love the marvel reveals i also just
want to leave the movie theater once the movie's over for the most part i actually do appreciate
how guardians did it where we're so preposterous they had like 13 post-credit things um this one
which is you wait too long like come on do the thing where you give us a little bit credits
mid-credit scene post-credits this one i feel like we've been just like waiting around with our dicks in our hands over here
composing feels like when you're in the theater though gives you time to talk about the movie
you just saw yes and you're fucking freaking out i mean i'm also like again i'm getting older
my bladder's getting old i mean i i think, I think I did one bathroom break in Infinity War.
I definitely did.
I missed when they were talking about, like,
when Rocket and Thor were heading to the star.
I missed that one.
I had two in Endgame, I think, for every movie,
except for the one where we went to the 4D.
I had to go twice in every one.
Even when I planned it out, I peed before the movie, all this.
Like, my mind game is being played on me because it's such a long movie
So this would probably be bathroom break come back in and still like not even be done with the visual effects crews
Fucking I mean, this is so many people. This is I guess where all the money goes, right?
It's like this movie cost X million to make it's going to

I see a Raphael
how about our guy
Michelangelo

His name is not Michelangelo, but it is Michelangelo.
Michelangelo.
I had people in my high school or my school, whatever.
The older brother's name was Jerry.
The younger brother's name was Tom.
Tom and Jerry.
Tom and Jerry.
Crazy move to name your kids.
Because Tom and Jerry has been around forever, too. You can't name your kids Tom and Jerry crazy move to name your kids because Tom and Jerry's been around forever too
you can't name your kid Tom and Jerry like you can't name Mickey Donald and that's even like
a little bit more of a stretch because it's like not literally the name of the show but Tom and
Jerry come on you can't do that I mean are we are we ever gonna get to this Nick Cage post-credit
scene not Nick Cage Nick Fury the um I didn't Not Nick Cage, Nick Fury. The, um...
I didn't realize Black Panther's
theme is in this, too, so technically Rubber Band Man
is not the only song in it,
which kind of hurts my, like...
I love how that was the only song in it.
Well, it's the only, you know, non-composed
type song, yeah.
I guess there are all these other things.
10 times bigger than the energy signal from the first Avengers.
Like,
this is what I understand here.
It's like they're getting all this,
okay,
I guess they just got the intel now.
Most of it in life. Yeah, I guess this is as the snap happens.
Yeah, this is as the snap happens.
That's the energy signal they're talking about.
I would think they would be currently looking at it live,
but maybe, I mean, the Gets are on the road, so they're not currently.
Yeah, nobody filled in Nick Fury that they were like,
we're going to Wakanda.
We got issues.
Nobody told Coach.
This is basically coronavirus right now. This is all I see. Yeah told coach. This is basically coronavirus right
now.
This is all I
really.
Did you see the
tweet today?
I retweeted it
from Edgar Wright
and he said
just walked past
an abandoned
movie theater
in an empty
town with a
billboard out
for a quiet
place part two.
If you saw
that in a movie
you would say
like it was
too perfect
for Hollywood.
That's fun.
I don't call Devis. Oh no. Mother. movie, you would say it was too perfect for Hollywood. That's fun. Gotta call
Devis. Oh, no.
Motherfucker.
That's a great one. You'd give that to Sam Jackson.
I love he always
has his Captain American bag on him
at all times, no matter what.
Oh.
During the first Avengers movie,
there was no point where he was like,
listen, let's just save the hassle
and call in Captain Marvel for this one.
Yeah.
Alright, there was Infinity War though.
We did it.
