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. I'm here with my pal Clem for the first time since March 2nd. I looked back, that was the last time you were on the podcast. Buddy, a lot has happened since then. I was gonna say, I think our Infinity War live whatever you commentary, that's Infinity years ago basically at this point and well not even that one was march 2nd that was the last time we like recapped uh nerd news i guess

was march 2nd so we we've talked since then but it's been a while since we've like recapped recapped and that one was that was pre all this shit fucking hitting the fan we oh man i have to go back and listen to that and we probably have such like life in our voices i was probably like 30 pounds lighter at the time i was so we were so excited about black widow we were talking about oh my god like it comes out next month we're going to see an mc we were like rallying the people to get excited about that too if you remember we were like and if you're not excited about this how do you not have faith in kevin feige come on those fucking idiots thought movies were going to exist movie theaters were a thing oh what a bunch of idiots we were oh my god we were talking about that the

other thing we were excited about was finally getting credentialed for san diego comic-con canceled sadly for the first time in over 50 years, stop picking all these like scabs and scars off of me right now. I thought this was all starting to heal. Oh my God. Wow, that fucking episode. So, and then the people listening to this in the future, Zoom probably owns the world right now because like everyone's relying on them so much.

So they're probably the number one. Like you knew Zoom was doing good when wasn't that the thing like the Zoom stock, but it wasn't even this Zoom. It was like Z-O-M stock went through the roof for like a day because everyone thought that was the video conferencing thing. So yeah, things got weird here in 2020. Got a little sticky. And how about Zoom blowing the 3-1 lead to Skype or Skype blowing the 3-1 lead to Zoom, somebody said. It's so true. This is actually the first My Mom's Basement with you and me that's

through Zoom. We normally did Skype. And even now we're like fuck that just send the link it's easy yeah and it's crazy to think too because when you said like are we gonna zoom like we're getting fancy now and it's like skype was always the thing but the thing is like the rundown the skype rundowns and obviously everyone knows all that shit it always has like the hiccups and stuff i know people say that's like you know the charm of it it's not that charming to record during it it drives you crazy yeah the fact that like like my mom knows zoom you know my friends who are not even like you know they just do stuff for work and zoom is the new skype and it's crazy to think that like what the fuck were the people at skype

doing like the last 10 years so great they They just needed to implement the link and boom, there you go. Yeah. Like here's the link. Join my call. Me and Jared got invited on some WWE show. It's called the bump. It's like their social network show. Um,

kind of like a rundown type setup. They talk about the big WWE stories of the week with, uh, social media personalities for the company, but they were like, Hey, do you want to hop on this zoom call? We're inviting a bunch of celebrities and wrestlers on it we were like uh sure we're not celebrities but if you're

inviting us on a wwe thing we joined rick flair's on the call ray mysterio's on the call maria menounos is there david arquette is there um biggie langston titus o'neill mojo raleigh dolph ziggler it was one of the, and you can find this entire thing. It's on the WWE's YouTube. Like, they uploaded just the full Zoom call. But I said, imagine you're at, on Easter, we did the whole Easter Zoom with the whole family, right? And you have a thousand boxes.

Everyone is talking over each other. Nobody knows when to talk. There's the weird delay. Imagine that, but Ric Flair is there, and he's trying to cut promos. And, you know charlotte's like dad and he hears how to use the phone and he's got andrade cnl moss and his daughter in the background like it was the weirdest thing i've ever been a part of but it was fun tell me rick had either a the rick flair he's just wearing the underwear with the boots or he's wearing the robe please tell me it was one of

those two things no he was he was at like a lounge table i think he was in a tank top but he had the signature rick flair shades on and before he left he was like all right fellas i'm gonna get out of here woo jet flying wheel and dealing and he started going through the whole thing like oh that's amazing and he left and then i forget who it might have been the ms was like and now we're all gonna get our invoices from rick flair's cameo because he's charging everyone very funny it was it was a pleasant moment and hell is cool for the wwe like to even be inviting barstool to do anything like that at this point wwe ufc the way that they've embraced barstool both brands that i've had to you know work with has been amazing i've never ran into that NFL thing or even for you like a Knicks guy the Dolan thing yeah I remember hearing that like MSG was like

told like do not deal with anyone from Barstool which I mean I'm sure myself and you know Kevin before me had a good hand in doing that you know James Dolan I don't think he's a big fan of us but uh it's cool because I remember when you first came aboard too, I remember you were like, it was kind of weird getting in with the WWE. Yeah, WWE was very like hesitant. So it was, and this isn't really, I guess it's not the fault of anybody. It's just the way Barstool operated back in the day. The one man thrill ride went to WrestleMania, I think it was WrestleMania 31 or 32. And he made a video credentialed through the wwe for barstool that was very like

one man thrill ride-esque where he's calling wrestling fans nerds and virgins and i'll eat a bowl of cereal out of you that concave chest very funny stuff it's a funny video but it's not the type of video that the pg publicly traded wwe wants you know a company like barstool making while they credentialed us so i think for a while we were on like a media ban list but luckily through my connections pre-barstool where i was like trying to design gear i got some wrestlers that put me in touch with pr and pr ever since has been amazing like they offer me and jared interviews left and right it's so wwe and ufc both amazing ufc has been going on all week have you seen any

of the fights or have you been out no it's the worst because i've been dying for i mean i have a korean baseball team now i have a oh yeah i'm on the dinos as well by the way you're on the dino island with us yeah so i hopped on the dino island when the first game because i just said oh god how could you not be a fan of the dinos that's the best name far. But then everyone else hopped on the dinos and I was like, I don't want to be the guy that steals the dino shine. I'm going to let them have this. But I've been in the shadows just quietly cheering on the dinos with you. I love hearing that we have someone else in Jurassic Park with us.

This makes it even better. I think when Clem and Robbie are at odds, I don't think anyone likes that. No, no. And look at this. I'm wearing my Iron Man shirt today to even, you know, it's like an olive branch. Listen, we gotta, we gotta be friends in the quarantine. Yeah, I have been throwing some shade towards a cap. I hope you haven't seen it. A couple of the blogs I've just like blogs that aren't even about like the Avengers. I've just got on this whole tangent about my Captain America with the whole thing starting in Civil War. So I'm happy we we can we can squash that yeah i have a german german bundesliga um so and now i the one thing i haven't gone is ufc but i've been able to obviously follow your blogs and on twitter i'm like with the kids or i'm doing something and i'm just like god damn it there's

like american sports going on right now that i kind of know about and i don't know what's going on right now other than what's going on through twitter so i felt like i've been on the outside looking in and just when you're saying about wwe the crazy thing about wwe when you know obviously pre robbie pr all that stuff is like other than the thrill ride there was not a more a more pro wwe and in terms of like attitude area wwf company on the planet i know fortnoy big Fortnoy, Big Cat, KFC. Like, we had headlines, you know, Bob Goff, that's blah, blah, blah. We were like, we are so pro-WWF.

Okay. Obviously, Dave, for any of the newer, younger schoolies who didn't, you know, follow Barstool back in the day, there's a video of Dave and Big Cat going to WrestleMania. WrestleMania 30 in New Orleans. Amazing video. And they're dressed as the Heart Foundation. And Big Cat sees Undertaker lose for the first time, which every time he's with Hank,

he gets his heart out. So he sees that live. And he has like, obviously the black guy who has the expression when Undertaker loses is like the viral meme. Big Cat's face is like the silver medal itself. And it's a great silver medal. And then Big Cat dressing up as Goldust way back in the day.

Yes, even before this video. Yeah. Yeah. And that's when he was still living in Chicago. And it was like you get like one video like a month from bar school. That was the moment I said, this guy, Big Cat, is out of his fucking mind. Because he's just in a bar. He's fully dressed as Goldust.

And he's like – He's got the full like leotard and everything the way yeah it was amazing it was amazing so and um obviously i mean you and dana like that's the thing is that you and dana were to just having like little catch-up sessions now on the podcast you know what's crazy is i just posted i love posting uh songs to my instagram story i'll do like a song a day to my instagram story i just checked who viewed it there was like 12 people that viewed it and dana was second I was like, this guy's checking my stories before my friends and family. What in the world are things coming to? And this is something that I didn't want to put the

screenshot out there. I didn't want to say it like I was trying to do it for clout because I wasn't. I was just wishing my friend luck. But before the event on Saturday, I did shoot him a DM and say, hey man, good luck. And he responded like that. And he said, thank you, my brother. I was like, Oh, Dana White. He knows that I'm on his side. Listen, some people come for his throat. Some people come from my throat now. And they're like, you're a bootlicker. How could you stand there and let this go on? They're putting events on in the middle of a pandemic. Guys, listen, I'm just letting them do what they got to do. And I'm enjoying it. I'm here for the ride. Uncle Dan is my friend friend and that's they listen friends are there for friends and you know what i'll piggyback off that if anybody anybody has a

fucking problem with fight island they have a problem with me now too because i get the robbie club alliance fucking fight island is the greatest just it's literally the plot of mortal combat a millionaire is like let's get all of the greatest fighting styles, bring them to an island, and see who fucking leaves alive. You know what? If this quarantine goes on another year, fatalities are just going to be legal because they're going to need to bump up the stakes in the thing. It's going to be like straight Hunger Games, literally.

All right, so we've got a bunch of nerdy news to catch up on. Before we do. I want to talk about our sponsor this week. Fleischman salon obviously has been a friend of barstool did this salon for many, many years going back since the early days of barstool, New York. I think Kevin's been getting his haircut there for probably a fucking decade. I don't even know. Have they been around for a decade? They might've been, but they've got a bunch of salons all over the city.

Now I've been getting my haircut there for years. People don't know that because i wear a hat all the time but my hair looks amazing underneath the hat when i take it off the bed head i look like fucking john b from obx um eric has been cutting my hair forever she's a big mma fan as well i know she's been watching all the fights i'm kind of blown away because i know her and i know all the stuff you know i know what the obviously you just have been around for years. I had no idea she was a diaper. She is fierce, though. They call her like the bulldog, which makes sense. But I am very excited that Fleischman is a sponsor of the show, and they just launched their damn good hair product line

with everything you need to keep your hair healthy, clean, and styled. They sent me all this stuff. This is the only stuff I've been using in quarantine. My hair has never been healthier. Shampoo, conditioner, day at the beach sea salt spray, some paste, some hair cream, and a gummy vitamin. You take a little gummy bear every day. Your hair grows thick, luscious like mine. I got the early release. It's great. They smell great. It's masculine. It's not perfumey. It's not overwhelming. And since no one can get haircuts right now, you're going to need these products more than ever. My hair is

kind of fucking crazy. I need someone to shape up my sideburns did you see yp's haircut he tried to go for oh yeah zigzag down the middle like charlie brown shirt it was just not a fade um but all four fleischman salons are closed right now due to the corona and erica's 25 person team is not able to work so she's using all of the net proceeds from the sales of this product line to pay that team while they're out of work since they can't do that from home, obviously. So check out their entire online-O-N.com. And Eric has got videos up on how to use all of the different things. So you can subscribe now. You save 10% using whatever frequency you want and then use promo code MOM for 20% off. That's promo code MOM. The products are so good. You just look at KFC.

Look how healthy his hair is. And then the reason that it doesn't look nice is because he can't get it cut at the salon. But the fact that it's actually growing together and it's not a goddamn mess, because I've seen what he looks like without what he's not using the product. KFC looking like a goddamn disaster is like the the before picture of fly from salon and then him actually having hair and then blah blah blah and then the after is going to be when he gets a cut and style it's going to be

perfect at the salon but you got to get your gummies you got to take care of hair or else you're gonna be looking like me a bald asshole no but if you get the gummies i'm sure you could have that syndrome you know incredibles hair right in no time. All right, so we've got a bunch of nerdy news. It's been a long time since we've recapped. I've got just a bunch of different bullet points. So I know the Mandalorian stuff is probably what everyone's going to want to hear the most. We've got the most news on that.

We'll save that for last. First up, I can't believe we haven't talked about this because it's been so long, but we've got our first look at the new Batmobile. Batman is now delayed until October 2021. I think it could be a blessing in disguise because, like we've discussed in the past, if they're doing the long Halloween thing, it could be very cool if that comes out in October. A nice rogue detective Batman movie around Halloween could be cool. I love the look of the new Batmobile. I think it's very similar

to the 1966 batmobile did we talk about this on the pod we might have uh not the batmobile we talked about the um the metal like oh yeah yeah yeah symbol or whatever on the chest the gun in this chest yeah but i do think that this is a really cool batmobile it's like a muscle car even had some other looks at the pattinson like cowell and he looks good too so i'm excited for this yeah the they keep this theme going now this is the thing these things look awesome in like the the still pictures and stuff like that and if this is the theme where like i said it's a little more edgier and it's kind of like rough and raw and that's because obviously second this is batman like second year of being

batman i think they said that yeah second year if that like it looks awesome if they can translate these pictures into the movie i mean we're gonna have we're gonna have something special here and i think if pattinson can um kind of just you know deliver which i mean there's no small task obviously you're the fucking bat but uh i don't there was some sort of news about pattinson recently that made me really like him. He wants to make pasta that can like be edible, like easily, like it just kind of like, it's like a pasta, you don't have to cook it and all that stuff. Oh, you just warm it up or something. And I am big time behind that. Give him Bruce Wayne money because he knows what to do with it,

apparently. Exactly. So yeah, that you show me those kind of like that kind of brain, that's bruce wayne brain right there so i i was someone who was a little more out on pattinson because all i know him from is the twilight movies and i didn't really love the twilight movies and my wife who is a diehard twilight fan she went to i don't know if i throw this in the pockets she fucking her and her uh roommate from college went to forks washington to fucking go to the actual woods that is crazy might have mentioned that before but that is yeah that's the the die hard like that's sort of their

star wars celebration though isn't it yeah i was gonna say that's bob fox level of twisted brain yeah if i was a twilight person i can see myself doing that they actually went to fucking forks shot themselves in the woods did the whole thing so um and she didn't like the movie. She didn't really have a problem with him. She didn't like Kristen whatever her name is. Kristen Stewart, yeah. Kristen Stewart. But Pattinson, between the pasta thing and then again, like the Batmobile, pretty fucking sick.

And I'm not a muscle car guy, but I could see myself become a muscle car guy in this movie. Yeah, I agree with that. And I even saw something that someone put the screen test thing they put out with like the score and you know, it was the first look at Pattinson. The score cue was taken and like interpolated from the 1966 Batman show from like a weird scene in that. And I'm like, okay, if they're going that level of deep cut on us, where we don't even know that until weeks later and someone's comparing audio files i feel like it's in the right hands that's the level of care i want in my batman where it's like we are going down to the nitty-gritty details calling back to the 1966 show and this movie set in the early 90s when batman was bigger than ever with the keep movie which i think is a great move as well so batman i think across the board we're excited for

it's kind of like uh this isn't as much my my sports comparison but it's like with the giants hired joe judge and it's like this guy just seems like he's a details guy i want details guy in charge of like my beloved my teams my movies my franchises all that kind of shit like again i think five he's a guy who bleeds fucking marvel and you know at the end of the day and especially with dc it's like it just doesn't ever seem never seems to be a planet always seems scatterbrained and with batman is kind of the one hero they've actually hit on recent not even that recent but more so than others right it's been hit or miss but it's been better than all their other fucking properties basically and don't don't mess up this batman just

god get on track dc we're we're begging you we're begging you every episode to get on track so um we're on i feel like we're we're going in the right place and when's the release date now what do you get so it's october 2021 i mean at this rate like time isn't real that i don't know yeah i had a thing the other day it was i saw i was getting my package from amazon on May 9th, and I was like, May 9th? What the fuck is this? It was May 2nd. I had no idea.

I thought it was like March 27th in my head, and it was May 2nd. I know. It's May 7th or May 18th the podcast will come out. That doesn't feel like a real date. No. I feel like it was February last month. It's crazy. It wasn't.

It's March 110th right now, now. Yeah, it really is. I hope that I know that San Diego Comic-Con, they're doing some kind of like at home Comic-Con thing. You have to imagine a bunch of movie studios had trailers and fun stuff planned to come out there. So I hope a lot of them could at least get that done. And maybe things will hold us over. Like in July, if we get a bunch of new trailers or a bunch of new fun stuff like that it's just something to get excited about speculate about that's my hope and we get like a pin sent to us because as if we had gone to comic-con so at least feel special or we get the trailer just a minute before everyone else i know we should be

able to join a zoom call like two minutes before it goes live and watch it on the zoom call and then like you got to get all the people who are going to be dressing in their cosplay they got to get their attention oh that would be funny if everyone dressed up and got on the zoom what a bunch of nerds that would be losers yeah that's funny so i've got a whole section of the news just dedicated to our guy taika watiti here because there's been a ton of taika watiti news the first thing which is the sort of the smallest thing and we'll work our way up to the biggest thing is that he's doing two willy wonka animated shows for netflix one i think will be a reimagining of the original like willy wonka thing and then the other one will be its own story an oompa loompa apparently. And you put Taika Waititi's name on anything, I'm in at this point,

but that sounds just batshit crazy. Sounds like you're letting that guy do acid and tell a weird story. So I'm excited for that. I'm not a big Willy Wonka guy myself. I've seen the movie and the remake. They're both fine. But I'm just excited for Taika, new Taika things. Let me tell you something, Bob. I'm not a big Willy Wonka guy.

I am a diehard Charlie and the chocolate factory guy. Cause I read the books growing up. I am. I'm, I'm the book guy. I'm the guy who read the books before I saw the movies. I fucking love Roald Dahl. Roald Dahl is my guy. That was my author growing up. Um, and I think fourth grade we had a teacher who loved Roald Dahl. We read all the Roald Dahl books. We had Roald Dahl day and everyone played a character from all his books, James and the Giant Peach, Charlie and the Trucker Factory, Matilda, all

that kind of stuff. Oh, I didn't know that guy even did all three of those. That's how I know about this guy. And I'm looking at my blog here. I pulled it up because I was like, oh shit, I forgot about this. And it's Netflix is making an animated series for all the books like charlotte the trucker factory matilda the bfg and more and i honestly until you said this and at this point obviously uh our boy wasn't wasn't like i wasn't like uh attached to it and sure enough nothing here so this must this is new i guess that he's doing it yeah it's fairly I think a month or two ago it came out. Now, it's weird. I like the Gene Wilder one.

I think it's, like, fun. It is weird. It's creepy. But I like – it does have its moments, right? Obviously, the memes it has, all that kind of stuff. I despise the new one. I hate – Tim Burton has gotten his claws into some of my favorite fucking movies of all time. And I'm not a Tim Burton guy. I'm sure some of our listeners are. I'm sure some of my favorite fucking movies of all time and i'm not a tim burton guy i'm sure some of our listeners are i'm sure some of our listeners are i think i went on this rant when

we were on lights camera barstool uh back uh a couple months ago um with james and the giant peach which i think he was like an executive producer on or something like that i fucking hate it so if this is if if talk tell me how to say the name right because i i can't see tyco with td tyco tyco tyco tyco is in charge of this with obviously all this stuff that he's done Tell me how to say the name right because I can't see. Taika Waititi. Taika. Taika. Taika. If Taika is in charge of this with obviously all this stuff that he's done, I am in a very – like this kind of goes back to the band thing. I feel like this is someone who cares about this franchise, and I think it's someone who has like the right – what's the word?

Like style for it. Like Tim Burton. That's not what fucking Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is about. Yeah, you don't go dark you go you go the complete opposite direction the ragnarok like neon bright yes yeah yeah i'm with you oh i could oh i could just see the fucking chocolate factory popping right now the oompa loompas are fucking great and the oompa loompa backstory and again you're talking i don't know if you can tell bob you're talking to someone who's very excited carly in the chocolate factory right now the oompa loompa story is one of the most incredible like little parts of the book and i and they kind of just touch on it and they go a little in depth but to see like where his imagination goes on it and like willie wonky kind of brings them in from

their their little homeland and everything i cannot fucking wait for this i'm so happy you didn't even send me the rundown ahead of time because i'm finding out live about this and i'm getting more and more excited about it as i think about it let's go taika wow that's amazing so we can move on to the next piece of taika with td news which is another great thing and it's not something surprising but it's sort of just confirmation so he said he will be using the guardians of the galaxy in thor love and thunder which kind of confirms for us the timeline right where we knew that either the guardians would be in thor or thor would be in the guardians movie this will probably take place right after

endgame where we left off with the as guardians of the galaxy i'm so excited for thor love and thunder we're obviously huge tiger guys we going to suck his dick for this entire segment as we deserve to. But it's just cool to get confirmation here. And another thing before we even move on to the biggest Taika news is I started What We Do in the Shadows, the TV show. I loved the movie, and he writes the TV show. He's not in the TV show. I think he might make a guest appearance here or there. But Megan Olivier, our guest last week, was like, you've got to start it.

It's the funniest show on TV. My God, I think she was right. It's hysterical. So I would recommend that to everyone. That's not news. That's just like, I started the show that he currently has on, but yeah, guardians will be in Thor. And I loved what we do in the shadows. I think anytime you can give like a quarantine recommendation, because I feel like everyone's always looking for something, you know what I mean? So I think that's that's good to um kind of just throw things out there obviously people take your opinion on that kind of stuff seriously um i'm gonna be honest

this is a trust tree the basement is a trust tree i am upset that it's this way instead of the other way i'd rather have thor in a guardians movie than the guardians in a thor movie it will make me more excited for thor movies because i like the guardians movies more they're my favorite marvel franchise other than like the avengers last two movies i guess you could say um but i feel like having like the thor part of the movie followed by whatever guardian stuff actually you know what i i guess i can live with it the other way because i could be fine an entire guardians movie i'm gonna love thor there's always that chance i mean i don't want to call natalie portman the black widow but she's coming back and if this movie stinks i mean it's like sooner or later it's like uh you have to say the reverse ewing theory where she comes back and we're like

what the fuck just happened like you know uh ragnarok was good and then it kind of gone back to the first couple of words but um there's no way anything with the Guardian the Guardian's part is going to be awesome and that'll make me more excited for Eleven Thunder so and with Taika involved again this is a Taika Dick sucking segment apparently but yeah we're on board for that one for sure

and Disney apparently is on board with the Taika Dick sucking as well because they've gifted him a new Star Wars film this is the biggest news that I've been referring to. Christy Wilson-Karens, I believe I said that right, will be the co-writer. She was the 1917 screenwriter, which I don't know if you saw 1917.

I loved it. I could not wait to leave the theater. I'm sorry. I could not wait to leave the theater just to say how much I love 1917. Like I wanted to tweet about, I wanted to tweet from the fucking clouds. That like that was fucking because i went in not knowing anything about it other than knowing it was obviously a war movie so like if you go in completely blind

that and parasite um were the two movies i had seen kind of uh right at the end of actually i saw that right as quarantine started i saw 1917 in the theaters but both movies were just like holy shit i had heard they were good and it somehow surpassed my expectation so wait so so how did how how is this related to so i believe so so the co-writer of 1917 christy wilson karens is the co-writer of this movie okay okay i mean you're bringing in someone that just wrote one of the greatest war movies of all time to do star wars with you you know, the comedic Star Wars guy. I don't know what, you know, era this will be set in.

We don't have any details other than what I just laid out there. It's Taika and it's Christy. These are the two doing it. But, my God, I hope that whatever era it is in, if it's Clone Wars, Clone Troopers, if it's Galactic Era, Stormtroopers, if it's, you know, sequel trilogy, First Order Troopers, give us just two guys bantering like you gave in the finale of The Mandalorian. Just for, that'll be the Taika, I've got a bad feeling about this. If he lays his hands on it, we'll get a bantering scene between Stormtroopers. I did, yeah. I think, again, we are, our jaws are getting tired from sucking music. But this is the other thing too.

It's like, I don't even know where we stand in terms of what Star Wars movies are still out there, which have been canceled. I know. Yeah. Who lost theirs? Who got those? So,

all right, Bob, I'm going to, I'm going to throw you the question. You tell me, is it killed? Did it get chopped into like one or, all right.

Uh, Benny Alphan Weiss. Killed. Not happening at all worth it uh ryan johnson still technically a trilogy even though people are calling it like schrodinger's trilogy because they haven't confirmed that it's happening but they also haven't confirmed that it's not happening they're gonna be like they're gonna have to market that and like they're gonna have to market everyone but the name ryan johnson to like people like me

jk rowling when she wrote under the different name yeah they're gonna have it's gonna be like yeah i was gonna say it's like the um what was that stupid thing yanni or laurel like you're gonna see the thing and you're gonna hear ryan johnson but when i hear i'm gonna hear like star wars and it's like all right we're in and then they're gonna see if if we like it or not um and then who was who was the other person who had gotten the movie the five row five row just had mandalorian right he didn't have yeah and i think that there were rumors that mandalorian could one day become a movie but nothing in like wheels in motion i don't think you know unless okay behind the scenes um any other is there anyone else who has a star wars

at least planned as of now do they have a little star wars gift under the tree that they're waiting not movies we we have tv shows they gave someone that the showrunner and writer i believe of russian doll the netflix show is going to have her own disney plus show no details about that whatsoever and we do know the cassian andor show is happening okay okay okay so so this is big though if tyke is one of like the two guys that really have something yeah i'd imagine this is probably going to be in the next few years at least yeah yeah and i'm happy they're kind of just taking a break hitting the reset i mean and everything's taking a break right now so um that's good god i let me just say one other

thing from from before. Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator was one of the real missed opportunities, and I'm still bummed from the sequel to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. For those that don't know it, if Taika can kind of bring that back. Yeah, wait. What's the sequel? Explain it for us. So for – you remember how in the great – at the end of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

or whichever one, I don't remember what – at least the Gene Wild wilder one they kind of like go in the air with the great glass elevator and then they get the families they go up it goes into space it just gets crazy and weird and again my guy roald dahl i don't know what kind of acid he was tripping out when he wrote this one um and i'm sure it was like it but the thing is it wasn't charlie and charlie it was like a typical sequel it kind of fell flat if i could get fucking hit on that and kind of you know right or wrong of the past um i'd be very happy are you a shelsey overseen guy we're just gonna go children's authors while we're here too on the no not really like i wasn't a big reader never have been it was uh it was like it was uh where the sidewalk ends and a light in the attic it was like little

poet it was like a kid's poetry book and it had these like little short stories it was uh it was like it was uh where the sidewalk ends and a light in the attic it was like little poet it was like a kid's poetry book and it had these like little short stories it was one like one per page mrs mctwitter the babysitter she would literally sit on the babies and stuff like that and i always get him and roald dahl kind of on the same page and i know kfc was big into it growing up but it might have been one of those things that kind of got left in the 90s um but i'm just a huge roald dahl guy. I read some Goosebumps books. There's a little R.L. Stine. Yeah. Yeah.

Matt Christopher was a big one too for a lot of people. So, all right. So I'm sorry, but going back to Taika, Taika, Star Wars. I mean, like if I have to look at all the different people who could have a Star Wars movie, obviously Benioff and Weiss are not on that table anymore. Like they were before the last couple of Seasons of Thrones. Obviously, Rian Johnson is not that guy for me.

You know what's fucked up? I almost want to give JJ another trilogy and be like, all right, this is yours. No one's going to take it. Do exactly what you want. But we've already been there. We don't want to go down that road again. So the next two pieces of news are ironically JJ related related and then sort of benny off and weiss related um and they're both just tiny

things they're both things that were put out there that i thought were worth bringing up and saying on the podcast but i don't really have much to add the first of which the jj related one is that he is developing a series based on justice league dark characters for hbo max he's wanted to work with superman forever so i would imagine superman is somehow going to be involved in this i think based on Justice League Dark characters for HBO Max. He's wanted to work with Superman forever. So I would imagine Superman is somehow going to be involved in this. I think if you do like a Dark Superman, maybe the Injustice style thing where he's the bad guy and you have the Justice League fighting against him or something,

not the Dark Superman where you have him like snapping Zod's neck. Not saying go Zack Snyder with it. But yeah, I'm obviously such a big JJ fan that I'm cool with this and I'm just happy that DC is trying new things in like a TV show on HBO Max or something or a Green Lantern show like they said they were doing I'm with you DC needs to hit the reset button they need to take a deep breath and figure out like what they need to do the Batman movie is a good step in the right direction and then I think TV is also a good step in the right direction because look what happened with star Wars.

They had a bunch of movies that were up and down, up and down. And then they said, let's just focus our energy into a TV show. And then it's universally praised and loved. Yup. I don't know if we had talked about, I don't think it was this, but just in general with HBO about how like Watchmen kind of hit on HBO. Right. And like DC doesn't have like, like Disney just owns its own streaming service and they can just throw all this stuff on there now, but HBO, you can get away with more.

You can kind of take more chances. And again, you put the little, and I hear that my brain's like, this is good. And until you prove that it's not good. Imagine that and then the fucking bad robot logo. And it's like a jj abrams production yeah and see this is i i think there will be definitely split uh parties here i actually don't give jj too much shit for the way star wars ended up i know there's people who didn't like the force awakens and i like it was just a reboot of new hope and i noticed people who liked that because of what it was

and whatever we've gone through that fucking debate a million times i was fine with the force awakens it was like the rise of skywalker a lot of people give him shit for it he was he was given like he was picking up the pieces there yeah he was picking up the pieces either whether you love the last jedi you hated the last jedi you were indifferent about it he had to make he had to try to land this fucking ship and it was basically like landing a plane with the 86 mets after the houston astros nlcs just people fighting and fucking drunk and people throwing steaks at each other it was craziness vomiting so that's basically what the star wars fan base was going into episode nine i don't give him too much shit i just want to see him kind of have a big franchise like this which obviously superman or the justice league or whatever they're going to do is and i just like all right man here's the fucking ingredients go cook and uh you know i'm sure he and i'm sure he wants to kind of like get his name because i'm

sure he doesn't like hearing you know getting canned and stuff like that so i mean at this point like the more superhero stuff the better we've talked about in the past it's like wwe and wcw when one was good or when one was bad the other didn't have to try as hard because they knew they had the ratings they knew but when both were good in cooking that's when creative chances were taken that's when they kind of pushed the limits and everything and that's when everything got better and i think a good dc would make a better marvel and vice versa so i'm with you and if dc does the dark thing in the right way you can push marvel to have blade come out and have blade be a

rated r mcu movie have you know the the doctor strange movie really start pushing those boundaries like everything about that and at the very least we can look forward to a great pilot because if jj is known for anything it's like known for launching things and getting them off their feet back together mission impossible he relaunched that franchise star trek he relaunched that star wars relaunched that lost he was obviously super involved in the beginning stages of so i think this will be exciting and then the game of thrones news which i feel like we hear this every few i don't know weeks years months whatever time frame you want to say george rr martin said that he is healthy self-isolated and working on the next Game of Thrones book. What an asshole.

I couldn't have been happier when I heard that. I haven't read one page of the Game of Thrones books, but this is what I said. If George does the books, I'm just going to treat the show as if it never happened, and I'll just read the books. It's like you kind of know what happens with some of the stuff, but some of the stuff is so different than what happens on the show and then we get the ending i think the ending will

it'll be in a similar place from the show because obviously he told them what happens and i'm sure if you want if you didn't like it the way they did it he'll tweak it but we'll get like the way again i don't think the it wasn't like the actual stuff that happened in the last season it was like everything just happened so quick and it was so different than the first six seasons that we had gotten on the show that kind of fucked up seven and eight so um i kind of love like coronavirus is making that motherfucker write his books um it's like the one there's a few things coronavirus has given us it's given us the unboxing it's given us coach doug's and it might give us a goddamn Game of Thrones fucking finale to the goddamn books. Which, again, you then say, my headcanon, I go by the books.

And then we could all do that. And audible.com slash podfathers, I think. Text 555. I don't know the number. I have to get it. But anyway, that was our – I was going to say 555 is the straight no numbers. Oh, that's right.

It was a 50-50 slash. It was a 50-50 Podfathers or something. You had a text there. I don't know it, but audible.com. Go there. You read your books. You get caught up. And then when that fucker gets his goddamn book started,

we're going to be able to actually have like another moment together. We could just listen to the books and kind of get back on the same page, which, Bob, you kind of came in late on it i feel like i feel so like shitty it's like someone coming into star wars right before like everyone started fighting each other you know yeah it was a bad time i'm hopeful for those like prequel series they talk about that one of those will bring us together in the way that the early seasons of game of thrones brought people together again but i would love for george rr martin to go like full heel here and be like yeah listen i just wanted like a test study for my last book so i let him do the show i didn't give a shit about it like i let him fail and now i'm gonna redo it because there

probably is a way and i was kind of like one of the people that was supportive of the last season supportive like no let let it play out let it play out and then it ended and i was like oh damn i was on the wrong side of that one um but i bet there's probably a way you could take the final puzzle pieces and put everyone where they were even though bran on the end of the the throne careful i mean i know you're the brand guy you're the brand guy because i look like but you could probably take all the pieces that were there in the end and tell a story that gets there in a much better way and a much more satisfying way. I think that's pretty much what you were saying as well.

And I think that's the thing is like people in the books or people read the books are also like brand is like much different in the books. He might be a character. He might be way cool. He might not have been like just an edible eating stoner he was in the final season. And it's like when you're reading the books, instead of just seeing this fucking kid just staring at you creepily in the corner, it does like that was part of it. That was kind of, it was definitely bad optics.

I would love it. Now that you said George going heel, like if he did the Hollywood Hogan, he had like the black beard and just fucking, he changes his glasses for sunglasses. Oh, I would fucking love that. He goes like Hollywood bandana. Oh, that would be incredible and kind of like kind of what you were saying with the game of thrones thing where we have something

that that is kind of the biggest thing for um that superman thing because it's like everyone watches together it's sunday night we're recording this everyone watches the last dance twitter has its thing and we have our moments if superman can do that i like this streaming is kind of like killed like a really cool side of tv that was growing with social media where we're all watching together the reactions come that's why sports are so fucking good and why everyone misses them is because we had something to talk about um so if if superman can kind of take that which i i always that's what I hate is Watchmen was too, I don't think enough people got into it.

The first two episodes were very race centric, which I don't think anyone wants to like get into like on social media for the most part. And even it was just hard to dive into

if you didn't read the book or anything. Yeah. To the book and it really was. Yeah. And I didn't know what the fuck was going on

until like the third episode. It's only when I went back, watched the YouTube catch up on the books and then like rewatched the movie, which i had seen once i went right over my head once i did everything i go holy shit this is incredible but there was no like you need something that is much like a much easier entry and i would imagine that jj again he's rebooted all these things he knows how to kind of get people who who are fans give them the service

while also you know bringing everyone in for the first time and kind of doing people who are fans, give them the service, while also bringing everyone in for the first time and kind of doing it together. He's actually kind of the perfect guy for this now, like you said, as I talk through it. So I do miss that, especially whenever it's on HBO. Again, it's just like 9 o'clock Sunday night. That's fucking playing center field for the Yankees. It's just like one of those prime time positions

is Sunday 9 o'clock on HBO if that's what they end up doing. Yeah, absolutely. And people forget that Superman like pretty awesome when you make them awesome smallville was a hit show for so many years people loved that show and that was like yeah telling a week-to-week superman story it's honestly it's jj yeah it's it's true and it's on it's honestly impressive how like how they've just squandered the Superman franchise. The most identified, he's like Jesus Christ and Superman. Yeah. I always say, here's my sports analogy. St. John's basketball.

Every single year, St. John's is like 11 and 18, missed a tournament, whatever. And then I'd watch the tournament, and there's like 25 players who are awesome playing for Louisville, Kentucky, fucking Pitt back in the day. And I'm like, they're all from New York City. Why didn't any of them go to St. John's? You just need like two of these guys and they'd be in the top 25. So it's kind of like Superman. It's like, you guys are just squandering this like fucking prime franchise. So I guess the Knicks kind of put into that too.

God damn it. All right. So now we can get into the fun stuff, the Mandalorian. So right off the bat, something like two are the tiny, tiny things that we could just touch on. Timothy Olympian. I think that's the way you say it. Oliphant. I don't know him from Deadwood or anything. So I'm a little more unfamiliar with his body of work,

but he will be appearing in season two. And we know in season two that there will be episodes directed by both Robert Rodriguez, who everyone knows from everything he's done, Grindhouse, whatever, and Peyton Reed, who most people will know from Ant-Man. Those are sort of the smaller things. Timothy Oliphant, that's Oliphant, did I say that right? Oliphant, yeah. That's my new Papal teen.

But everyone that I've talked to about him that did watch Deadwood or any of the things that he's been in, like the Western type stuff, we're like, Oh, this could be awesome. He might be like a cool Western bounty hunter type guy. My brother's a huge Deadwood guy. So I think he was probably excited about that. I'm excited about any cool actors coming into the Mandalorian, but this wasn't, you know, this, this didn't move the needle for me in particular. Yeah. So he, um, I'm, I'm a big, i'm actually a pretty big tim oliphant guy again

and for all i know that's probably the wrong way i've always called him timothy oliphant um he is in scream or scream 2 i think huh he is in um uh go go and then the thing that i know him from is the girl next door he's like the i think he's like the pimp or whatever he's kind of the um what's her name uh a lot not eliza douche coup alicia kuthbert or whatever that's kind of like her like porn star like you mixed up those two names that those are easy to mix up and he was also hit man the um the car there was the video game that they brought to the movie stuff like that he's an awesome actor. I kind of, again, sometimes with these actors, they come into the show or the movie,

and you're just like, oh, that's blah, blah, blah. That's blah, blah, blah. That's Woody Harrelson. That's Woody Harrelson. That's Woody Harrelson. But with The Mandalorian last season, even like with Bill Burr, it was like, that's Bill Burr. I was like, oh, this is a fun Bill. Bill Burr is playing a fun-ass character, and it brought the Bill Burr, it wasn't like, that's Bill Burr. I was like, Oh, this is a fun bill. Bill Burr is playing a fun ass character and it brought the Bill Burr,

Burr charm to the Star Wars universe. So I'm hoping we get kind of some of that stuff with, you know, whoever it may be, whether it's Mjolnir or, you know, even the director is kind of doing their kind of spin on things. I do look forward to having the,

the serial Western as everyone kept saying all fucking year. It's going to be fun to kind of have that back. I actually have a take for you about the Mandalorian. I thought of this today, and I'm standing by it. Baby Yoda is the most important character in the Star Wars universe in the last 35 years. So basically anything after Jedi. Since the original trilogy.

Since the original trilogy. Because we know how all the characters that were in the prequels, like, you know, oh, Anakin was more of a... We know how those prequels turned out. They turned out poorly.

The sequels, oh, this guy's going to be more important. Kylo Ren, right? We know how everyone feels about the sequels. But if Baby Yoda doesn't come, and, you know, Mandalorian could have been good even without Baby Yoda, but I think Baby Yoda was obviously the straw that stirred the drink. If he's not there and we don't feel good about Mandalorian,

there would be unrest right now in the Empire, in the Galactic Empire, right? I think you're right about that, especially right now in the pandemic. I've been posting the video of Baby Yoda waddling, just the compilation of him waddling, and it makes people's day. Every time I post it, they're like, oh, thank you so much. It's like I'm doing them a service. I'm literally just retweeting this old tweet, but people love it. If Baby Yoda wasn't there, I mean mean we're still talking about the last jedi

probably yeah exactly it's like oh like i forget like when you say the mandalorian i think of baby yoda first i don't think of the mandalorian yeah it's crazy how it works so um yeah i honestly think baby yoda is he's kind of the guy that he's the great unifier he brought us all back together and i don't hate that take yeah um it's it's i i wanted to do i couldn't figure out how to do the meme you know baby yoda's most important character last 35 years changed my mind so i may have to maybe i'll fire that up for tomorrow so the big news the big awesome mandalorian news that both of these things that i'm about to say i wish that we didn't know but now that we know them it's like all right we know them we

can't do anything about it we might as well get excited about them rosario dawson has reportedly been cast as a live action ahsoka and tamora morrison is reportedly coming back to the franchise for the first time since attack of the clones or revenge of the sith i guess but he had the main role in attack of the clones as jangoango. And he will be playing Boba Fett and rumored to be playing Captain Rex as well because Captain Rex, as we saw in the Clone Wars finale and in Rebels as well, went off with Ahsoka. So they were together.

He probably would be alive considering in canon he was at the Battle of Endor. It's just crazy that we're going to have Tamora Morrison playing Boba Fett in the mandalorian i know we said for our whole recap of the last season every week we were like could we see season two where it's boba fett versus the mandalorian it's happening like it's really happening and it's fucking tamora morrison of all people the person that it i guess it should be it makes sense for him to be boba. Yeah, that's what that little punk kid grew up to look like, right? If he's the pure clone or whatever. Although, oh my God, Daniel Logan, who's been begging to play Boba Fett for years.

Yikes. He's just with his own thoughts in quarantine right now. Like reading this story, probably says all the tweets signed, lined up. He's just, oh, that has to hurt. Yeah. I mean, hey, he had his chance granted he was a kid when he like got to put the role of boba fett on screen and it was not very good it was no little he's a little asshole come on yeah and let's be honest like boba fett didn't exactly

like you know have the greatest moments in return of the jedi he got fucking killed by almost mistake but the fact that you know he still looked like even more of a bitch as a little kid is was kind of tough to do um i'm with it it stinks there's it's like with the emperor thing which i know i said emperor um but you know there's like they kept your baby yoda from us that was important enough i don't know how they were going to keep a human actor who's going to probably be like the central part of the next season hidden from us. So it's a bummer that we know Boba's coming back. But, I mean, it is what it is.

I'm excited to see how it happens. The fucking, again, shout out to the internet sleuths on Reddit and all the places that had like the sounds of the sprites. The fact that they knew that and they were right. And you and me, I think both of us were like no way that wouldn't be the way you bring boba fett back i think if you bring boba fett back it's like look here he is whatever he's coming out of the sarlacc but once i heard like the real hardcore star wars people being like uh-uh the beeps that that were going off on the spurs of his boots as he were walking were pretty lined up there's like all right we probably shouldn't doubt those people

they're usually the ones that have seen the movies time and time again. Yep. And again, this comes back to just people who care about the franchise. Like, I'm sure Favreau was like, you know, be sick. Like, we got to have, like, the littlest breadcrumbs for the diehards, which, again, it's our fault. We go on Reddit or we go on Twitter, and if we follow the right accounts, we're going to get it spoiled for us.

So, I mean, obviously, this news was bigger than just that. So, I wonder if it has to do with the quarantine by the way because i was thinking about it they pretty much wrapped filming way before the the pandemic hit right so yeah oh that's right if it didn't get out while rosario dawson while tamora morrison while even uh oh i have this written down i forgot to mention katie sackhoff her name is it's been cast as Bo-Katan. So Bo-Katan is a character from the Clone Wars, and she is a member of Death Watch.

She's a Mandalorian, and she eventually, in Rebels, wields the Darksaber and is like, you know, I think you're Mandalore. Like, that's your title when you wield that or whatever. I assume she'll be there to tell us the backstory of the the dark saber and all that because we'll probably get into it with uh grandma moff gideon or whatever but it it now with their the way they're editing the show what they're sending it from

editor to editor and the graphics team has to do things is that how this all leaked is or someone's sending screenshots of like holy shit is this is this fucking Boba Fett? I think if they, I'd rather have it come out the way it does than just have, you know, a still shot and then it's ending up. So I guess I'm fine with that. Is Mandalore, that means like big,

so we can dig into the Cracker Factory. That's like the dude. I think, yeah. If you want the Darksaber, you're that guy. Okay. Okay. So then tell. So Bo-Katan sister was Obi-Wan's love interest in the clone wars that we find out she was like the queen of Mandalore and she gets killed by Darth Maul on

the throne to like lure Obi-Wan in. Um, but she was Obi-Wan would have left the jedi order for her he said so even getting bo katan in here sort of gives us like an obi-wan connection to the mandalorian show as well very interesting so and so that's that's the other thing so obviously rosario like so just tell because i know i have an idea about her i know like she was anakin's apprentice right but i don't know much about her. She was Anakin's Padawan. This was a character created by George Lucas to sort of be like the center of the Clone Wars. If you watch the Clone Wars all the way through,

I would say Ahsoka is probably the main character, even more than Anakin or Obi-Wan just because it, that was like her show. We already knew a little bit about Anakin. We already knew a little bit about Obi-Wan knew a little bit about obi-wan they had their movies but throughout the whole series it was her progression from padawan to jedi knight and then she eventually gets expelled from the jedi order because someone uh frames for her for a bombing at the jedi temple there's a bombing they frame it on ahsoka even though anakin knows it's not ahsoka and everything the jedi don't believe it and this is sort of the first sign that they're corrupt and that they're they're really not all that they're

cracked up to be and she leaves the jedi order we saw that in the final season of the clone wars that just aired like what happened in in the the days following that the moments following that through revenge of the sith and the timeline and then in rebels we see that she's like grown she's sort of a jedi master and like her skill level and her maturity level she's still with uh captain rex who took the chip out of his brain so he didn't he wasn't in on order 66 like when it got executed they all had a chip in their brain he kind of got clued into this they took the chip out of his brain so that's why he would still be around ahsoka and if you look at dave filoni's twitter header it's been his twitter header for only a few months and nobody really knows what it's from but it's a

picture of ahsoka like riding what looks like almost a bantha with captain rex and like an old captain rex with a white beard so people are like that's some sort of concept art that you had an idea for. Like, here's how we'll eventually bring them into the Mandalorian or something. I don't know. I love that Rosario Dawson is the person they cast.

Rosario wanted to play Ahsoka years ago when the Mandalorian didn't exist and no live action talk of Ahsoka was even a thing. She just liked the character and was like, I would love to bring her to life one day. So it's someone that once again, cares about star Wars that just liked the character and was like, I would love to bring her to life one day. So it's someone that once again, cares about star Wars that cares about the character. You're bringing her into the show. And the rumor is that this is a backdoor pilot for potentially an Ahsoka

show starring Rosario. Oh, wow. Yeah. All right. Okay. Okay. And for everyone that like,

it's kind of figuring like it's the orange girl, right? She's orange girl. She's got blue and white, like almost not the horns, but you know, the, the weird star Wars tentacle type things coming out of her head you've definitely seen her and toys or merchandising you're walking down the street and and or you're walking down the island walmart you'll see an action figure of ahsoka she has two lightsabers if you want to

see something badass you could look up ahsoka versus darth vader fight from rebels they fight in like the world between worlds which is a weird place where you could teleportation is involved and everything like that there's some amazing moments and if you just want to watch she fights anakin after he becomes vader oh yeah and it's amazing it's one of the coolest devlin actually works at barstool it's his favorite lightsaber battle in the entire saga wow that. That is such a Devlin thing, loving the cartoons. That's why I love Devlin. It is.

He's a fucking diehard. I love it. Yeah. So check out, even if you just go on YouTube, type in Ahsoka Tano highlights. She's an amazing character and very beloved among Star Wars fans, especially someone that when the Clone Wars movie first came out, like the first season, people didn't really like her. She's pretty annoying as a Padawan,

calling Anakin like fly guy, and he was calling her snips. It was just very like childish and very, oh geez, we got to deal with this person. But she like legitimately matured with fans as well and became incredibly beloved. I have a request. Yep.

Depending on how, you know, she gets integrated into the show, and I mean, you guys can maybe do it beforehand viewing the life camera barcelona guys so you guys obviously did all the clone wars like recaps you guys got to do like all right who the fuck is this character or these characters because i don't know any of these guys coming in other than boba and you'd be like all right like you know 10 15 minute video and just kind of give us even just chop up the stuff you guys have already talked about and be like boom there you go to you fucking old ass men that don't

have time to just hypothetically speaking someone like that you know a friend um yeah i trust that feloni and favreau will make sure that like the the casual viewer gets it but i think it'll be like the dark saber where we can even add stuff that'll make you appreciate it even more because you know that they're doing it for the hardcore fans who will like really be like oh fuck that's a cool deep cut yeah yeah okay so yeah i'm down i mean i i've had a crush on rosario dawson for years clerks to only but gay too clerks too she's on rail and that 25th hour you're 25th hour guy no i've never seen it oh god all right must watch everyone on the podcast must watch uh that's our homework from from clem edward norton um rosario dawson uh fucking philip seymour hoff it's a fucking it's i think spike lee directs it's a fucking it's a heavy hitter of a movie i love it um it's

right after 9-11 very post 9-11 in new york city kind of vibes to it obviously because it just happened and it's very integrated into the story. But I fucking love it. And Rosario Dawson is his wife in the movie. And I mean, fucking Rosario Dawson. If you like Rosario Dawson, go watch the fucking movie. She's the best. She's the best.

So that's all we had to talk about this week on My Mom's Basement. We caught you up, hopefully, on all of the nerd news that you've missed out on. We'll have to do this more often. I feel like we say that pretty often. But I like catching up with nerd news with you, missed out on. We'll have to do this more often. I feel like we say that pretty often, but I like catching up with nerd news with you, Clem. I love it too. And we're actually at your mom's house. You're in your mom's house right now.

This is the real thing. The closest we can possibly get to actually being in my mom's basement.
