People are like, what's going on with that movie? Shoot me, show, rather. And then recently, it was like, no, him and his brother. They're writing the TV show. Well, a new report says it's not a TV show. It's a movie. Well, what does that mean? Is that a good move?

Is that a bad move? When will it come out? Will it come out at all? Is it another Lucas film thing? Like, oh, yeah, we're just going to give this person a movie that'll never happen. Things that are definitely going to happen. One piece, season two. Season one, I'm watching it right now.

I'm doing Watch Long. The episode four, Watch Long, just dropped today, or the reaction, rather. But Season 2, very popular show, not a big surprise. Aquaman apparently is going in a different. different direction after this movie what does that mean how does it break down with this not that not what not all that stuff and and and more and Taylor Swift is going to beat everybody in the box office with stuff that's ready pre-recorded I mean what what a what a gig she is she is a hand over fish never has to work for the

rest of her life it's incredible the amount of money that that this very talented very talented very sounded singer is doing, but we'll talk about the pre-sales already. All right.

So join us today. Me and Brett. Here we go. What's going on, everybody. Welcome back. It is the big thing. Friday. Excited to have you with us.

We're going to be talking about those stories that I mentioned. I think we're going to react to a few of those crazy clip videos, too. You guys like that. And I like doing it also. And who knows what we're going to come up with today. But joining me on the show, as always, everybody's favorite UFO specialist. I can't believe I'm even in the same room with you. But we had to have a long discussion.

in that bad episode. We sat down for two therapists. You're like, hey, are you okay? Well, it's funny about it is that people were like on the comments. It was such a split thing. And Brett, of course, is joking. We've been friends for over 23 years, a silly little argument over Zoom.

And even Brett was like, I was kind of laying in it. Yeah, I'll lean into it. It's a good ratings. It's a show. It's good ratings. But either way, Yeah, for people who don't know what we're talking about yesterday, we were talking about the UFO stuff,

and Brett and I were just on different sides of the thing. And if you look at the comments, it's funny because one thing I knew was definitely going to happen is what I've always said, because I remember when McCougar used to go after you, and I go, you don't go after a Brett. It's a bad move because everyone loves Brett. You go out to Brett, you're going to get on people's bad side. And yesterday people are like, don't make fun of Brett.

I was like, I wasn't making funny you. Was I making fun of you? I guess at one point it was kind of taunting you a little bit, which is fine. I get, and I get because you've been so deep in this, and I, as looking back, I'm like, oh yeah, my response was probably just as

flipping and everybody else that you've seen in the content and I hit some little trigger. Absolutely. It had nothing to do with you. It was like, every total comment you saw, you're like, all right, Brett's going to get it. It had nothing to do with you at all. You're 100% correct. But yeah, it was hilarious because then, but then at the flip side, I saw

people kind of going on, Brett's being ignorant. And it was so funny to watch that, but I was like, yeah, yesterday's show was, it was, it was fun, it was fine. And it, it just one of those things, people were like, I don't like when you guys are in studio together. I'm like me either. Yeah, no kidding. So it's, it's something with the sound of it all, too. But I just, for one of the reasons, I didn't, it didn't make it into the show. So I was, I wasn't, I wasn't feeling good the other day. It was why we had to do it on, on stream yard, because I was, I didn't want to get anybody ill when we, and it turned out, I didn't even have anything. That bad, it was like a scratchy throat, but just in case. And any way you do those streaming, I mean, even if we all had a great setup at home, there's just something about, like, it's different. Timing is different. You know, it took me forever, like, with the at-home stuff with SCN Live to kind of get my groove. Because you had, you got six people and you go, okay, I'll try to get it in now.

It's too tough. It really is. And it's like you said, there's a rhythm, there's an energy to it and you have it to play off of it. But we also want to make sure, well, I will say this before we get into it. Normally on Fridays, we do the capes and cow stuff, and we have been kind of switching that back and forth because Winston and Coy haven't been on. I will say, I'm happy to say that next week,

Winston and Coy will be back on the show. They're coming back in for Friday's episode. So we'll have the gang back together for next Friday, me and Coy and Winston talking about everything going on in the world of comic book movie news. So you will, if you've been asking for them, you're going to see them. But for today, we're talking about this Lando thing. And I know I showed you a little bit of it.

Like, did you see Solo? Yeah. Did you like Solo? That was my one and only press junket, remember? Oh, that's right, right, right, right. Well, I know that I sent you to the thing to interview Chewy, but did you, but you went and you saw the movie also? I saw the movie.

Well, I think they were playing it while we were waiting, but I had watched it ahead of time just, you know, to do my research or whatever. Right, because you saw it, it wasn't before it came out. It was for the home release. Yeah, yeah, home release. Right, right, right, right. Okay, so, and what did you think of the movie? I forget.

I didn't love it, I didn't hate. I mean, I can see why it, I mean, it wasn't great, but it wasn't horrible. You know, I think it just had a, again, I've got the same thing with like, oh, you know, what's your name? And, you know, is that how we're going to discover his name? I didn't like that either. But I will say, and that happens the beginning of it. What I will say about that movie after, we did a whole rewatch on, on Sith Council about a year and a half ago. And after rewatching it, I feel the same when I watch the film that says I've said a million times over.

One, the second half is way better than the first. It really picks up steam and it kicks ass in the second half. And it's actually a pretty good movie in the second half of the movie. The beginning is tough. I think Alden-Aren Reich is really good in the movie. I just don't feel him as Han Solo. I know that some people feel opposite. I don't think it's a bad performance.

I just think it's a different character. It didn't do well. It's the only Star Wars movie that they consider a financial failure. Oh, okay. It also didn't do well, but it's not, and people will be quick to respond. Well, that's because of when it came out. It's not inaccurate. It came out in May of 2018, I think two months or a month and a half while Avengers Infinity War was still in the theater.

That one was a little popular. So that was part one. It was supposed to come out in December to Kathleen. Kennedy's credit. She wanted to keep it there, but Iger wanted to move it and push it to that made and build up, and it was a bad move. But there's a lot of other things that lent into. It was also six months after the Last Jedi,

which was very divisive amongst fans, and that was so it was a whole bunch of things. But in the same way that a lot of people, when people go, okay, in Obi-Wan or Yuma is the best part of the prequels,

most people say Donald Glover was fantastic. Oh, yeah. As Landau, and he really kind of captured the essence of Billy D. Williams. That was always my argument when people were like, well, Alden Aaron Reich was he eventually turns into that character that, you know, Harrison Ford did. First of all, he's not two, it's only like five or seven or ten years at the detact. You don't change that much. Your essence is still there.

The essence of Lando and Billy D. Williams is there. Yeah. Right? Yeah, the cocksmith that he is. 100%. You felt it. Oh, yeah. Yeah, smooth as hell.

You know, shady. You know, yeah, no, definitely. And that, you know, when you showed me that article, I was like, oh, this is definitely one that I think will do well. And, you know, time will tell. All right. So let me, let me get you. This is more so coming on the casual side of things.

And that's why I want to get your insight on this, because it was announced in 2020. They did like this whole big announcement stuff where all these shows were announced and the movies were announced and none of those movies The Patty Jenkins movie was announced that oh yeah There were a lot of projects inside of it that were announced it never came to be There was a couple shows that were announced it never came to be Landa was announced and they didn't say they said oh Donald Glover is developing something and then it just kind of disappeared and nobody was really talking about it and I think it was Jeff Snyder who recently said that Donald Glover and his brother were now writing the the series and the series was going to going to come out. So this report comes out yesterday. I think it was variety. I might be

wrong by it think it's variety that said that it's no longer going to be a series. It's going to be a movie. Before I give my thoughts on that, what do you think about a Lando movie with Donald Glover? Is this the route to go other than a series? And how will it do as a movie? Well, my first thought of that it's becoming a movie and not a series is they didn't think they could, you know, tell much of a story, you know, which seems odd. It seems like he would have a great past and there would be lots of adventures and what have you that would happen to that. So maybe it was just like, I don't know, they just couldn't find a way to stretch it out over a series. I think the movie will do wonderfully. I mean, I think that's one of those characters that people always loved and, you know, is on the top five, you know, characters, I think, of Star Wars, I think is Lando.

I mean, again, smooth operator. I think it'll do well. I would have liked to see a television show because I do like the longer form and the telling the story longer in that regard. Thank you. And I received my time. That was wonderful. You did well. I think this is a massive mistake.

Oh, is it? Oh, right. I think it is. I agree with you that this should have been a television show. Now, the reason why that they would go away from a television show, it's clear as day. They're looking at it going, this television show is going to cost a lot of money. We need to try to get away from how much money we're spending on streaming because we don't have a model yet that supports it, especially after the writer's strike and after the actor strike and all this different stuff. that they're looking at, they're going,

this is gonna cost so much money now. Can we make it a movie and try to get some of this money back? Because Donald Glover is one of the biggest stars in the world. Everyone loves him. Everyone loves them as Lando. Let's do it. But to your point, this, you can really dive deep, and it's probably further along into the writing,

that they can make it a movie once, whenever the strikes are done. Tomorrow. Right, but you look at it, and it's just the negatives to me, outweigh the positives. It's, first of all, you're setting up this entire universe

in the Faloni side of Asoka and all this particular, on the world itself, the Asoka and Mandalorian and the skeleton crew, and we're getting Faloni's movie at some point in 2000, I don't know, they said, 26, I think, something that maybe 2027 pushed back now

because of the strike. I would assume. But let's say the Ray movie movie and Flonney's movie supposed to come out in 2026. Now, a Ray movie, not everybody is excited about, but it at least connects into other things.

The Lando movie is coming off of a movie that isn't very popular. The character is, but, and it hasn't, it just kind of... And like I said, top five character,

maybe 10, top 10. But either way. Top five, no, but it's top five. People love Lando. Yeah. But it's like a movie?

Like a full movie, like that's just like it doesn't, like what's the, what's the end goal for it? And the end goal is clearly to try to make money. Yeah. That's what it is. I'm not saying they're not going to try to make a good movie.

Of course they are. He's a very talented guy, and he's probably going to put him and his brother probably put together a really good script in it, but it's tough. It's not something they're going to make sequels of or anything like that. Do you think? Maybe, but it's like what does it ultimately tie into in the grand scheme of things? Maybe it's just kind of a standalone that some people want to see, some people, I don't know.

From most of the polls that I saw, there are tons of people that are putting polls out. Is this something that you care about as a movie? And overwhelmingly it was no. as far as movie goes. Your point of all the different adventures that you could do on television, to watch it on television, but Donald Glover's public,

I want to make a movie. I want to do this. And they're like, okay, I mean, he's a big enough star that you can do it, but I just don't know if people are going to care enough.

And that's the least of it. That's the least of it. My biggest concern is it's the consistent inconsistency of Lucasfilm, basically doing this. Okay, here we go. We got an idea.

We're going to put a movie out. in 2023. Yeah, Patty Jenkins' movies coming out. No, something didn't work out. That's not going to happen. Tycho Watiti, he's got a movie. Tyco Otiti says the other day, my script's still not written.

That was announced three years ago. That's not going to happen. Benny Off from Weiss, those guys, Game of Thrones guys, they've got a movie. Oh, no, that's not going to happen. And then it happened so many different times. And then it's like, oh, Lindeloff, he's coming on. He's gone.

Oh, okay. And then it's like, well, let's do, we're going to have this Ray movie. That's the first movie. And Kathleen Kennedy first, because we're going to make these events. We're going to make these events. They're going to be big events.

They're going to come out every two or three years the way like James Bonded. And then they go, oh, movie come out in the beginning of 2026 and then at the end of the second. It's like, they're so inconsistent. And then it's like, you've got, so Ray is the movie that's supposed to come out in May of 20206. Faloni's movie's supposed to come out

and the end of it. Then Mengold's movie supposed to come out around like 2027. When is this movie going to come out? Is it going to come out at the end of 2027? Is it going to come out before any of this stuff? They're going to shift stuff around again. Yeah. And it's like,

just because there's no plan again and it is simply to make money. Business should always be about to make money, but it should also be, well, how do we improve the brand? Because the brand is kind of shambles isn't the right word, because especially after what Assoca did last week, but it's not in good shape. No, it's not what it was, well, I mean, well, pre-pre-equal, but it's not what it was once, you know,

the whatever the sequel which one well the prequels the prequels now remember though the prequels went through a weird thing the prequels went through a thing where it's like people really our generation was like that's not it and then people who grew up with it I mean look at the love that Hayden Christensen's getting now and I even found a love with it I told you this through

when watching it through with my daughter and watching it through her eyes I have a and watch my rewatches that we did I have a whole new love for those movies. But then the new trilogy came out, and leading into Force Awakens, the hype there, that was when I think that people were like, oh, we're back.

We're back. That's what I meant. Yeah, not the prequels, the sequels, to the prequel. The sequel trilogy. Yeah. And but I mean, and then, but then the last one, which I still haven't seen, which is weird. Yeah, because it was just like so much hate.

So I think it was like, oh, we're back, baby. And then, oh, this is not my. It went like this. And then Mandalorian started to get it back into here. And then they had Boba Fett. And then they had Obi-Wan. And then they kind of, then-mandelrian 3 is coming back. And then Mandelurian 3 went like that.

And now, Andor definitely got people talking for sure. And then Asoka has people excited again. But it's like the movies, they haven't had a movie since 2019. There hasn't been a movie out since 2019. So, like, there has to be a, like, I just feel like, they're in this place of desperation where they want to throw something out there and they're still in his mindset at least it seems like kathen kennedy is in this mindset of movie star movie star uh popular person uh definitely it's a character people know yeah throw that out there

and it's like pay attention to what the fans are really responding to in regards to you know the stuff happening in asoka the stuff happening in and or like those types of things and i'm not telling you. I was very skeptical against Andor. When Andor was announced, who cares about that as a TV show? I'm glad they didn't do as a movie. But as a TV show, who cares? And it's one of the best things that they've done in years. So I, yeah, I don't know. So the shows have been for the most part doing well other than a couple little dips with like Boba. Boba wasn't well received. I mean, again, I didn't watch that one. Boba Fett wasn't well received. That was one that was least received. Obi-Wan is kind of back and forth. There are a lot of people who don't... I started that and didn't, yeah. Yeah, a lot of people who don't...

I was just talking to somebody about recently. That movie started... I mean, that show is starting to become like one of these ones that the more and more... It just gets worse and worse for me because I was... Especially after seeing what's going on in Osoka. Like, the show was called Obi-Wan.

You could have done a thing, especially if they proved after Osoka. You could have done this thing where you have Anakin and Obi-Wan in flashbacks the age him just a little bit, prove that they can do that already. And you do Clone War stuff

and whatever the lead up and missions and other thing and building that relationship, even further than he did in the original one, showing he was a good friend and all this different stuff. And then at the same time, bouncing back and forth to him discovering that he's still alive

and having to do that one last battle, six episodes of that back and forth, you don't need the Leia stuff, you don't need the Riva stuff, you don't need any of that stuff, you just build up the relationship between Obi-1, You can go back into the history of Obi-Wan and Sabine, or Satine, rather, and all these different things kind of leading up, and the writing just wasn't very good.

But there are a lot of people who like it, and a lot of people who bit of nostalgia. It was, I was wrong. It was nominated for some kind of award. I don't know how, but it was. But, yeah, for the most part. We need a really good film to get people back into, basically. And you don't think that this one or the Ray one is that? I'm not as skeptical.

and the Ray one as everyone else is because I think that they have the bad taste of the sequel trilogy in their mouths, which I understand. But I think that I want to see, because it's the writer of Peaky Blinders, I believe, that is doing, that is writing it. And I want to see

what they come up with before I judge it. I do think it should have been put, the original rumor is that Damon Lindelof wanted to put it, like Ray was basically played like a, by like Helen Mirren type. She was like way older.

Oh, okay. And the reason why is that you, I think that would work is because you're able to build and get away from a time period that is still so close to, because this is essentially just the fourth movie. Yeah. You know, the new trilogy, the new movies. What is your, what's your Star Wars film that saves it all? What would you go with what character, what story? I think they should really push and try to find a way because what I've always been saying this. I'm glad that this is kind of the path they're going.

People are very invested in a lot of these characters, Asoka, the Mandalorian and all this. And I said the last thing that they should do, I was saying it's three or four years, the series finale should be one, should be a movie that you're going to see in the theater. That's what they're doing with Filoni's movie. That's what it is.

It's going to lead to all that stuff because it gives you an opportunity. If that movie's coming out, you can catch up to it. It brings people towards Disney Plus. It brings people towards, you know, learning these new characters, and it leads into saying.

So that's the one that I thought that they should probably lead with because it gets all the hype. Floney is now, especially of this last episode, is once again, the savior of Star Wars is what people are saying.

And that is probably the one. I would also be very curious to see what they could do, what Mangold is going to do detaching and going years back. Yeah. So I don't know. That's going to be interesting.

Yeah. Because I think that for the casual, viewer they want kind of the tie-in with everything and to do something like that that's bold but we'll see it's setting it up and starting and introducing new characters so that's the and to go back to the Landau part

of it and the reason I brought up the Rogue one style or the Andor stuff rather what I hope is that I feel the same way about this movie that I did about Andrew like why and then I go and see it and I go thank God they did that thank God they did that because

that was a really deep What I'm hoping is that Glover is a fan of Andor and go into that kind of detailed conversation, learn more about them, build out the characters as we have been more critical on the superhero movies like the Aquaman 2 trailer just came out, right, yesterday and or two days ago, I guess. No, yesterday. And they, to me, I watched a trailer and it looks fun. It looks fine, but it looks generic.

It looks like the same type of beats. I was like, oh, well, underwater stuff has been done a million times. Like, that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying is the same type of superhero beats that continue to happen that you can see, oh, well, this I've seen before, this I've seen before. And the big blockbuster action movies all can fall into that pattern. It's the ones that feel different that are better that kind of start the new phase. But what do you guys think?

Do you think that those were aliens at the mix? Yeah. Come on, people. What do you guys think for sure? Do you think that it was a, it's a good move, it's a bad move? Do you think they should have kept it as a TV show? Do you think it'll be a movie? The other question that we didn't really dive into,

do you think it'll even happen? Because it's so many different times all these movies start to fall apart and start. It's more of a surprise when the movie happens than when it falls apart. So comment, let me know what you think. Sleep well on it and let me know. And speaking of sleeping well, let's talk about Helix Sleep.

I got something yesterday from a few fans who watched our show and was like, hey, you know, afterwards I looked into the comments and I I used your code and I got the and I got the sponsors and people do not realize how much that helps the show like it's the reason why we're able to do this because what I'll say here and people if you do the research you probably know what I'm talking about more so too but there's a lot of people talking about a particular company that we got screwed over by as well and it set us back tremendously like

tremendously and when you get sponsors on the show and when you are dealing with a that actually pays you. It doesn't, it's great and it's been so good and it's been able to keep us on the air, but it's also time to, we're catching up. So when people ask, how do I help the show, how do I keep you guys going? If you're able to, and you have the means to,

buy one of those sponsors, click one of those sponsors. One that you like, obviously, you need a new mattress, get Helix sleep. I put all of our sponsors in the first pinned comment below.

No, I've seen your videos pop up and I saw a trailer for it before something we were watching. We looked at it. And it looks super fun. What's the, it's, but it's, I think even my wife said, oh, it's an adaptation of an anime. Yeah, it's an adaptation of anime. And I don't know why she knew this buzzer, but she was like, anime people aren't exactly too hyped on. Oh, they love it. Oh, okay. From what I've gathered so far from the comments. Maybe it was before it came out, people that she knew it. Because she works with a bunch of engineers and stuff. And I think that a lot of them were into it. And didn't know how it was actually.

I'm putting engineers in a class of nerds. Yeah, and they were not too. Well, here's what I did hear, though. So maybe it was before that. When a lot of the anime transfers over from Netflix to live action did have not delivered thus far from what I've heard from a lot of anime fans. I'm not going to pretend that I am on. Not that I'm not on.

I'm just, well, not that I'm, I have anything against anime. I just never really got into it. My daughter, Vivian, like, loves anime, loves it. And so she was the one, like, I watched the trailer for one piece when it came out, and I said, this looks fun. I don't know, it looks like something my daughter is going to love. Yeah. So it turns out I was right about that.

I was right and wrong at the same time. I was right where my daughter did love it. She started watching. He's like, Dad, this is awesome. You got to watch it. And I'm like, all right, you know what? Let me check it out. And then I saw a few people kept requesting it.

And I was like, I'll watch episode one. I'll do a watch or a reaction to it. and if people dig it and it does well and I'll do it and not only did it do pretty decent the first one did like 25,000 I was hoping it would do like 20 you know for the first one

but it it wasn't even that I would have done it for even if it hit like 10 at the same point because the comments were I've never seen such a positive fandom oh wow it was such a positive fandom like and

they were like it Some people, you know, when you think you get intimidated going into it because you're like, oh man, you're going to say the wrong thing. Like, remember Game of Thrones? Yeah. You're going to say the wrong thing. They go, oh, you got that name wrong. You're going to do this.

This fandom is so welcoming where they're like, we want people who've never seen it before to learn the hype and learn the lore and learn. And like every video that I do is like it's mostly that. It could have been that discussion with my wife was the complete opposite where she was hearing a lot of good things. And you just like, you know, it's just like, you know, you talk. You have so many conversations with wives and maybe it could have been a different program. With various wives. No, and I'm definitely into it.

If anime fans are digging it, that's a good sign because I know that there's been some other ones they weren't to like, was ghost in the shell? Yeah, that was not good. That one was not received. It's a tough thing to, like, that style. Yeah. I think the creators are involved.

It's tough to, like, transfer to real life. They do it. And look, there is some stuff. that's silly, but when you realize it's an anime, like there's one thing that happens, and I think it's in the first episode, and there's like a snail phone, and when it rings to it,

it's right up our alley, he goes, blah, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, well, and I was like, that's the best. And the characters are great. The main character, Monkey DeLuffy, is this kid, and he, the character himself, he's just got this zest for life. He's so, he's smiling all the time.

There's some, like, episode three and four are, The one and two are great. Three and four, had those been the first two, I don't know if I would have stuck with it. It's not the three and four bad, but it's definitely one of those ones where the acting isn't as crisp. There's some of the stuff that the adventure that they're on

just goes off a little bit, but I was still very invested. But apparently five, I haven't done the reaction to five yet. Apparently five is one of the best episodes so far. Yeah, that's what they say. But I mean, one and two, it was great. I really enjoy it.

The reason I bring it up in general, bread, is because they're talking about season two. Season two, they already announced is going to happen. Well, we'll start with this, because it got picked up for season two. What? They announced it to season two. But One Piece producers are hoping for 12 seasons. 12. I mean, who wouldn't?

12 seasons. Netflix's live action adaptation of Ichiro Oda's best-selling manga One Piece has been a hit currently number one in Netflix's top 10 for. second week and dominating the international charts. Second season got picked up yesterday, and production is not cheap on this series. The first season was shot for about six or seven months, followed by another five or six months of post-production. It's believed to cost around 18 million per episode. So there's a question of availability with the core cast.

There's also weather factors such as filming in locations, such as South Africa, and only certain times of the year that are best for production. In an interview with Deadline, executive producer Marty Aldestein and Becky Clements spoke about the show's chances for renewals, and they hope to stick with it as long as possible. Edelstein says we have hopes for 12 seasons, because there's so much material. Clements were over 1,080 chapters at this point in the manga.

We have plans with Matt Owens for how we would break multiple seasons, and I think if we did six, we'd probably use only half of the chapters of the manga. It could go on and on and on. Asked if they have at least six seasons in them. Clemens says, oh yeah, easy. She adds everything they do is in agreement with Netflix. More importantly, there are specific story arcs, characters, and more which they keep in lockstep in terms of adapting.

We've definitely had more thorough conversations about what we would do with season two, should we have the opportunity, and less extensive conversations about where we'd go from three to six. One thing we'll say, we're all unified in the parts of the manga that you just cannot eliminate, and that's our guiding principle. The stories we know and the characters that we know are important to the fans, so that really is the start in breaking future seasons. It will require a lot of conversations, but we feel lucky to have. the roadmap. All right. So this is, when you hear conversations like this, though, and the passion

kind of pops out of the quote, doesn't it? Oh, yeah. I mean, go like, oh, 12 seasons? Yeah, we got that. And not use, it said not use all of the, the mangas or mangas. How do you say? Well, they said they don't really want to cut a lot of the important parts of it. Yeah. So that's, that's kind of where, yeah, you can feel, you feel the passion, and the other thing, though, too, that I love is that, The reason why it takes so long is because they're very similar. And or as we're talking about, they're filming on locations. Locations are very, very important. I think that when you get too relying on the in-studio green screens and the volume and that stuff,

I'm not saying don't use them, but clearly they do in this show also, but the locations really help and set up a lore. But, I mean, this is also one of those things they were talking about the other day that they want to do more Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter for, Warner Brothers, right? One of the things that they're able to do for me, I think Harry Potter is the more, or Hogwarts, rather, is the more attractive thing because you have that video game

that just crushed, and there's more lore that's involved in it, so it's something to adapt. When you have this much to adapt, because Lord of the Rings, how much is there even to adapt? They've got to start making up stuff. Like this, you're adapting stuff, but you're still adapting it from very successful manga over the last, however many years it is.

If they can actually get this done, And the question also, when you're in season one, it's almost like that honeymoon phase. Yeah. 12 seasons, you're ready to choke people out by 12 seasons. That's, I mean, most people that went to 12 seasons didn't think they were going to go to 12 seasons. I don't think anybody set out to do that many seasons. But I just, this just popped out of my head and it's kind of out there. But like, so this was 18 million an episode.

Yep. What did an episode of like mash take to produce and was, is it proportionate to what we're spending now? No, because, I mean, look, the difference, it's very similar location, the type of, these things, and film and TV have kind of combined themselves, too. It's insane. TV now is, like, is very cinematic. Like, so you can play stuff. That's why they do. They screen certain movies on the big screen, because it's, you could, you could absolutely screen this in the theater.

If you screened episodes of MASH and in a movie theater, it would look like it wouldn't. Oh, that trash. Trash, that's what they call trash man. I'm blown up, like, because we finally, after years and years and years, updated from my LCD that I bought, you know, whatever, 15 years ago to one of those O-L-EDs like you have in here. And television shows, I'm, like, blown away sometimes at, like, how just beautiful and crisp and, like, the scenery and stuff like that.

What was it? Even, like, The Witcher were watching and stuff. Yeah, right, right. Well, Netflix puts a lot of money into it. A lot of these shows put a lot of money. Is it Max? Disney Plaza? I mean, the amount of money that they put,

I mean, Osoka is a very expensive show. I think the whole show collectively is like $300 million. That's crazy. Something like that. Or at least $250. But it's like collectively, and I saw the first episode on the big screen.

It looked like I was watching a Star Wars movie again on the big screen. So it's just so different now. It's crazy that they're making money off of that. Or are they? Well, that's what? all this stuff with the strike comes. The question is, how are they? Because they're not showing anybody

what the streaming numbers are like. They're not showing anybody like... No, you're not getting any... And you're also, one of the reasons you... It's like, you're not getting any... I don't know, the numbers of how many people are... For One Piece. How many manga fans are of the actual series

signed up because of One Piece? How many people signed up just to Netflix because of that? How many people signed up to Disney Plus just because of Asoka? You don't get those numbers, and that's one of the things that they want to see because they're not, they're not, the actors, and they're not getting paid for you. There's no residuals in streaming.

That's one of the big things as well, too. That was kind of a buddy of mine who booked a bunch of commercials back in the day with me. And then, like, continued on was telling me that I didn't realize there's not, there's not a company that tracks when commercials run. Right. Like, we allow the companies that we work for to tell us how much they ran and give us the residual checks for that. It's just like, wait, there's not like a third party that's

tracking these things to show us these so that's, you know, the thing with Netflix is if they're not releasing their numbers and they're, you know, who signed up because of what, then they can just continue to screw people. And that's ultimately what's they're going to have to figure

something out because the amount of money that's being lost right now. Yeah, and that's the ridiculousness. But I, whoever I saw talking about it was saying that it's, it's basically there's a lot that are willing to settle and it's some just like just don't doches on the loose. They're like, no.

Well, then there's some that are going to become very desperate soon because you look at, I think David Zazloff who is, who runs Warner Brothers Discovery, he, I believe, from all rumors, and he's pushing everybody to get to the table, which he's got Wonka coming out, he's got Aquaman coming out, he's got all this other stuff and, you know, they've got a

he needs to figure it out. There's probably other people of the fat cats who, you know, you get a chance to say fat cat. Oh, yeah. Well, no, these are fat cats, and they're smoking cigars that have $100 bills as the wrapping. Right. And then it's like just flicking the ashes. How much for the picture? Yeah, and flashing the ashes of the people on the picket line. Anyway, so real quick when it comes to the renewal of One Piece, and this is Dark Horizons again,

in a stunningly quick decision, Netflix has renewed its Pirate Adventure series, One Piece for a second season just two weeks after the show launched. And Oda, the executive producer and creator of the original manga, posted a video announcing the pickup today in the post. He thanked fans saying, it seems people around the world have been enjoying the show, which makes the hard work from the production team truly worth it. He confirmed that Netflix has decided to renew the show. The adventures of the Straw Hat crew will continue onward, saying it'll still take a while to get the scripts ready. Please be patient. And then offered a tease, saying from here on, it seems to me the Straw Hats will need a doctor.

we'll see, I don't want to see anything on a spoiler, so I'm gonna leave that alone. But it looks like they were, yeah, we're getting the season two, which makes sense. But the other thing is that as we go back to that previous thing, 12 seasons. These kids are gonna be like 40 years old by the time you get to 12 seasons.

I don't know where the story goes. I don't know the actual manga itself, but this is good news too, and it's good for it, even though it's not original IP, because it's a very popular anime, but it's a brand new IP that people are getting, like everybody knows about this thing now. Like everybody,

one piece now is, is in the mainstream. It's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's,

it's a good thing. And was this just in book form? Or was it also in anime? I think it was in anime. Okay. Yeah, yeah. Okay. So I'm pretty sure it was from what, from what,

because that's why I'm wondering if, because if it's, it just, each of the stories was just mentioning the manga. Yeah. I didn't know if maybe, maybe that's why it had a better transition because it went from just manga to the screen and not like an animated series.

It wasn't animated series too because I've seen, I think, I actually think my Vivian started watching a little bit too. She said it's, well, we'll never know. We'll never know. Okay,

Got another one here. Sorry, don't worry about it. As I mentioned to you before, the Aquaman trailer came out yesterday. And people are loving it. It's mixed. It's mixed. I mean, I think that it does look very generic.

This is a movie, the first movie, that made a billion dollars. So don't forget about that. It's still, for everybody who's counting it out, it still has a very opportunity to make a lot of money. Following yesterday's trailer for James Juan's Aquaman, In the Lost Kingdom, the director spoke about the sequel and teases that there are future plans in spite of the pending DC universe reset. Here we go again.

Jason Mamoa returns as Arthur Curry Aquaman in the film which sees Black Manta wielding the power of the mythic black trident, which unleashes an ancient and militant force to stop him. Aquaman will turn to his imprisoned brother Orm to forge an unlikely alliance. As previously indicated, DC Studios Chiefs James Gun, Peter Saffron, have plans for Mamoa in their DC universe. There's been rumored that the actor may be one of the few that gets carried over from the pre-existing DC-EU, where Saffron himself previously indicated Mamoa saw the Aquaman series as a trilogy. Speaking with Collider, Juan teases the new film ends in a way that sets things up for more. What I can speak to is that the Jason Mamoa as Aquaman story definitely has more places to go. And yes, when we get to the end of this, the answer is, yes,

I don't know how to answer that without giving away things. Because where we go at the end of this movie does tee up something bigger or not bigger, but it does tee up a direction for that story, and I don't want to speak to that because it's the end of the movie. The franchise famously scrapped a previously spanned spin... Fucking A. The franchise famously scrapped a previously planned spin-off

focusing on the trench, the de-evolved monstrous fish race that Aquaman and Mera encountered at one point in the first film. While that film isn't going ahead, he was able to crib material from that to incorporate that into this. He tells Slash Film. We had developed the Trench Movie and ultimately, like most things you develop, if they work out great, if they don't, that's fine. We didn't want that project to potentially step on the Aquaman films. We came up with a lot of interesting ideas and really cool stuff that I felt we can use in this one.

With the Trench movie, it was going to be a secret Black Manta movie. Initially, we announced it as a Trench movie, but ultimately we wanted to surprise the fans because that was going to be a standalone Black Manta movie. So when that did happen, some of those ideas found their way into this movie. Juan adds that the film's aesthetic plays heavily into the 1960s Silver Age Comics version of the character, Aquaman and Lost Kingdom, coming out on December 20th. All right, there's a lot to talk about with this because the trailer itself, as I said, it looks fine. It looks fine. I like Jason Momoa a lot. I think he's a movie star.

I think he's great. I am worried that he's running into the – he seems to be playing Jason Momoa now in everything where there's always that thing of like – the kind of cool surfer do. Yeah, yeah. But I hope the movie does well. I really do. But it goes back to the same thing. This is to me, them building

up the same way they did with Flash, same thing we do with Shazam, same way they did with Blue Beetle, there's always potential plans. And Wonder Woman for a long time, yeah, yeah, there's plans. There's plans. And if it does really well, then, like, yeah, we told you, we had plans. We want to keep doing more stuff. But if it does bad, they're like, I don't know, maybe this is

kind of the end of it. The thing at the end, did you see the Flash yet? No, I haven't. It's on Max, you know, and so at the end of that, there is a scene with the Flash and Aquaman, which, and they basically have a conversation of where it sets up. And I had said this when I saw it, and people were pushing back on it, and I watched it again. I've now seen it three times. It's the same thing. He basically says that in every multiverse that he goes to, there are certain characters that are always different, but everywhere he goes, it's always the same Aquaman. It's always the same one. So I think that kind of sets it up in general that they can

always, I thought that was kind of the tee up where they're like, okay, yeah, it's going to be Jason Mamo and no matter what. Because I think they're banking on this movie to do really well. That's why they're doing, they did four reshoots for this. Now sometimes one or two is normal. Four? Did you see the first one? Yeah. Did you like it?

Yeah, I liked it. I mean, it's again, nothing, I didn't blow me away, but I had fun. And you know, it was a new character that I didn't really know much about. It was, you know, your stock superhero, but I didn't, so Mamoa is

already set to be continuing in this career, we're not sure. That's kind of what James Gunn is insinuating, but it's also, but it comes down to, if it doesn't, it's the same way with what they were saying about Ezra Miller. Like, well, Ezra Miller return as the Flash. We don't have any plans yet,

but we could see anything happening, and it's like, then it doesn't do well, there's no chance Ezra Miller's coming back. But Henry Cavill and Gal are out. Henry Cavill definitely out. That was the first one. Then Gallagadot had this whole thing recently where she's like, oh, no, they told me

that doors open and I'm going to be, and we're working on a third one. That was the big report that Gallagadot says the third Wonder Woman, and then there was, people started doing some snooping around, and the studio's like, nah, it happened. I don't get that. I don't get why, and then I don't get why Henry

Cavill, I know because they want to tell a younger story. No, so here's, if Gallagadot is not and Henry is not and Ezra is not. Then it's more consistent and it makes sense for me because it's like we want to basically just reboot the whole thing. Yeah, yeah. Start the whole thing all over again and we have a new Superman. They wanted to go younger, tell different stories and it sucked for me because I really like Henry Cavill, but I said, okay, but when they started saying, well, Wonder Woman might come back and these other characters might come back, and Galgado

might come back. I'm going, well, why'd you go in a head? Yeah, either get rid of them all and start afresh or yeah just keep them a new batman all that and so if they if they do it to one character and they do it for aquaman and they explain it this way through the multiverse you can get away with one yeah if you explain it this way you can get away with one should they it's another conversation but you can get away with one if they do it this particular way what is set up but you have to you have to make it more clear than one kind of throw away post credits in in the flash but either way the question is more so

how is the movie going to do it I mean the first one people didn't think it was going to make a billion dollars and no one did no one thought it would make a billion dollars and it did that and more so very curious and it's also shows you how they need this movie to come out

because they already pushed it a couple different times they'd push this movie I think two or three different times and now with the strike they're like well if the strike's still going on they're not going to push it they're not going to keep this movie in they're going to have to push it again. Yeah. They need to put some money back in the bank account. And

I think that that's where they're really hoping. But they're not kind of Jason Mamoa to promote it. Oh yeah. He can't. He can't promote it. And that's that's not great, but they're also there's one shot in the whole trailer of Amber Heard. One shot. Oh. She,

like, you can barely even see her. It's like broken glass or broken inside of water and she's like, that's it. They're not marketing with her at all. Yeah, I forgot about that element, too. And, well, and I think that the smart play, because even though I don't think it had a lot to do with it,

because I don't think as many people knew about the Ezra Miller stuff as they did the Amber Heard stuff, but the Ezra Miller stuff, I do think it had somewhat what to do with some of the poor box office because it wasn't a star that people were excited to see in the movie, whether it was because of all the allegations and all that stuff, too, but it was a matter of just not a movie stuff. What did you think of the Kevin Spacey cameo?

Was that... Yeah, yeah. When it was... They put that whole thing in there and they... And they just went... They had that one guy going, hey. And you pointed out. Yeah, that worked out.

Hey! What are you doing here, Army Hammer? Look, and he's going to make... He was proven like non-guilt. Not guilty. Oh, really? Really? Yeah, see, isn't that funny, though? That's the thing that when a lot of these...

From what I... People will tell me, and I'm not... I'm not saying whether he is or not. I thought people said that from what I heard that he was not guilty, but people don't, if he was, people aren't going to know that. They're not going to pay attention to that. They're not going to pay attention to the other thing. Now, I don't know if he was or not, that's what I heard, but apparently he wants to make a comeback, so we'll see.

All right, moving on to the next. Good. Maybe I'll finally get my second man from my uncle. And that's never going to happen. Oh, man. I love that movie. Never going to happen. I was excited.

I was like, this is going to be like a new kind of bomb. type thing. Just didn't do well. Didn't do very well. Yeah, I know. What was the other story? There's the other story that, oh, this Taylor Swift. Dude.

This, so my daughter is like a major Swifty, right? They went to the concert. I hear this woman playing throughout my house all the time. And I've been lying in fun of it is. I always remember when McCougu used to bring up that how, and I had the, I had the stigma back in the Clitor Live that she was just one of these kind of generic pop stories. Yeah, yeah. She's not.

a very, very talented musician. She's an entertainer. There's a reason. I mean, she's incredible. She makes like 75 costume changes at the, you know, like jumps through. She plays for four hours, dude. Yeah, yeah. She is a machine. There's no doubt that

no one can say she isn't talented. Beyond a, she is, she is insanely talented. Four hours of playing consistently. There's only so long, I mean, she's still like, what, 32, 33 years old. There's only so long she's I'm able to do that four hours.

But she is so, so talented and such a phenomenon. Like, it's crazy how the kind of money that she makes and boosts up economies. And then they go, well, now we're going to, all this footage from the concerts, we're going to put it out. And it, like, oversold, like, end game. It was crazy. Here's the latest report. Taylor Swift, her film, has already hit.

65 million in pre-sales. $65 million in pre-sales of a concert. Advanced ticket sales for Taylor Swift, the Aeros Tour concert film, has reportedly now reached over $65 million across AMC Regal Cinemark in the United States, along with Canada Cineplex and Mexico Cinepolis. That figure, a full month before its opening on October 13th, Best North American Advanced Ticket Sales of Films like Dr. Strange in the Multiverse, which was $60 million in the Marvel's film slates just prior to the opening date,

not a full month before. The ERISTor still trails the 120 million pandemic pre-sales record held by Spider-Man No Way Home, but with weeks to go, numerous distribution sources tell deadline that $100 million opening for the concert film is quite possible. Wow. That could be a debut higher than the entire domestic run of both Michael Jackson, This Is It, and Justin Bieber, Never Say Never, which both pulled in around $72 to $73 million each. There's also obvious questions about how front-loaded the film is, with the fan base coming out en masse on opening weekend

and then potentially vanishing. The concert film is scheduled to play for four weekends in a row and won't play it all on weekdays, though an exception is being made for Halloween night on Tuesday. Well, let me tell you this. This is what they didn't mention. Yeah, the fan base is going to come out on that opening weekend to go see that.

Oh, yeah. And you know what they're going to do? They're going to see it again the following week. And they're going to see it again. For as long it's in the theater, you do not understand how dedicated this fan base this. It's incredible. And they are going to go back.

And then a lot, and the other thing that's going to happen, too, was another reason why this is going to make so much money, that she plays to 20-year-olds, 30-year-olds, she plays to, my daughter's 11 years old. So 10, 11 years old. Those 10- and 11-year-olds are going to be going with their parents. Yeah. They're going to be going.

And, like, this move, this is a brilliant, brilliant move. It is, how much it does this cost? How much does this cost to me? Oh, just throw up. some footage together. Yeah. You know what I mean? I mean, look, they probably shot it for the

thing and they probably had some expensive stuff, but they probably paid for it on night one of the costs. Oh, yeah. It's like, it was, oh yeah. Oh, you remember we have that thing coming out? It's just, it's going to make $100 million in pre-sales. Potentially. That's nuts.

And good for her. This is a very positive story. I love, I actually really love this story. I love, I mean, again, from my opinion, when I say my opinion is changed to Taylor Swift, this is one that I never disliked her. But I have just such a respect for her and the way she carries herself and the way the performer that she is. But I remember Makuga talking about it on Collider Live, and I still don't agree with this. Yeah.

Saying that she's a much better performer and overall musician than Prince. At the time, he said it. When he said it at the time, it was outrageous. Yeah. It's a conversation that a lot of people would have today. I don't agree with it. But it's a conversation I would see more people kind of getting into it. Yeah, I could see close, yeah.

but yeah Prince was like one of a kind yeah insane and could play a million instruments which she can play as well but yeah what was the question Taylor Swift oh about the music

like the new found respect like I think it's it's in the you just kind of thought of her as like a you know bubble gum pop star whatever the one thing the comparison I saw one time was that I think her and Adele are the same exact age and so like the subject you know Adele's is like this real

heavy love story and she's like I'll never get back together. Right, right, right. But they're the exact same age. Yeah, it's true. But hey, she knows that her audience. She still has that little girl energy about it, which is positive.

And it's like, and it's there is, yeah, this is a, again, phenomenon, you know, in the fact that it's like the amount, $60 million in pre-sale tickets already. And I don't think that it was going to be coming out. For a concert film. And it's going to be, you're going to feel like you're in the damn thing

at a concert. It's one of the reason I'm going to take, My daughter last night, she's like, that's coming out, right? She's like, you're going to take me? I was like, yeah, I'll tell. I'm curious about it. I want to say, I didn't go to the concert with them. It was my wife and my daughter who went.

You didn't want to sell a kidney? Well, it was, I mean, just the two tickets alone. Yeah. Alone. And they were in, too, they were in the, they were in the nosebleeds. And it was like, and I'm still, I'm still paying for those tickets. It's, it. And that's a crime too.

And that has, and again, that's, I know that's not like her. That's, that's, that's net. as ticket master and all that. The ticket, yeah, don't get me started on that because I tried to get my wife tickets to one of the members of BTS, that K-pop band, and all the tickets, except for the nosebleeds, were like $1,000.

And it was ramped up because they sold him in New York for $200 an hour earlier, or three hours or whatever, and they ramped them up because of demand. So it's like this algorithm they have, and it's just like they're fucking people over. You remember when Kurt Cobain was talking about how he couldn't believe, I think it was Madonna, he could believe the Madonna was asking for

$100 a ticket or something. It was 45. Is that what it was? Yeah. Because the going, we saw everything for 15 bucks back then. That was kind of like the, and I, again, I saw all together pearl jam, smashing pumpkins and red hot chili peppers for 15 bucks. Wow. And I'm sure they, you know, I hope they were making money at the time.

But, uh, the music industry has changed dramatically. And like, that's how they make the majority. their money now is through touring though that's why the tickets have also gone up because albums are because of streaming albums have they got screwed with Spotify well but remember like because you because you sold a whole bunch of CDs or records and that then that's how you now it's like you know you put your you put your album out there and if you're subscribed to Apple you just can get it I think the me the music industry needs a union they they don't if they don't have one I'm not sure I don't I mean because you think about how many

people have gotten screwed over the years I don't think there's there's not a musician union is there? I don't I mean I don't know to tell you the truth I'm not sure I'll give you you you look at like Billy Joel back in the day had no money and you know I know I know I know I don't I don't know how it all Taylor Swift got screwed hardcore and that's the one that she her whole catalogs she had to buy back oh is that what happened yeah I mean she's a dude she doesn't have to worry about it ever again I mean I can't believe I can't believe how much money she makes it's like I mean I can believe it especially if you hear this yeah it's insane. What do you guys think? You think this movie? The other question I have for you guys out

there too, clearly it's about the fan base of Taylor Swift. I understand that too. But do you think because you look at movies that have done really well with Barbie, Super Mario Brothers, all that, do you think that it's also that the audience is looking for something else to see in the movies now besides just big budget superhero movies and all those types of things? Like, has the dynamic shifted? Very curious to hear all your thoughts. Please let me know. We did these videos last week where we watch some crazy clips and I got this is this crazy clips channel let's watch a few of my I know I haven't watched this yet

if there's one that I don't feel as good we're just going to cut it out and watch the next one but here is um here is one of the one of the ones ready I don't know what happens here that doesn't look good oh oh man oh get off of me yeah I don't get off of me

oh he's just dragging him right That's rough. Oh, he's dragging him right into traffic. And he did not feel that it was belabored in any way. He got out. I'm saying the truck driver didn't go like, this is moving slower than usual. Oh, that's brutal. Brutal.

Everybody else is beeping at him. Oh, that's going to say. Hey, I'm under here. Oh, man. That was brutal. There is a big mountain lion on our patio. He wants to eat my dog. Oh, dash.

Dash. Get out of the way. Dash. Dash. Get away. Dash. Dash. Come here. Yeah. Why don't you go get Dash? Dash. Come here. Dash. Dash. Come here. Dash just got eaten. Yeah. It was just like Willie Wonka. He's like, no, stop. Get him.

Dash. Okay, I tried. Yeah. Now, what's this? I don't know what this is yet, but let's see what it is. Well, we have to imagine seeing. Damn. Go stay good there, go there, go to the street, going to go to mystery. That's creepy. That's really creepy. The guys just butt naked? Wow, that was creepy. Let's do it chill. Let's do chill out.

Have you recently seen the Norm McDonald that resurfaced of him on Cohn and talking about? He goes, yeah, the crocodile hunter, people called me and said, you wouldn't believe who was killed recently? Oh, who? The crocodile hunter? Oh, really?

That one doesn't make, I'm not doing it justice. But, yeah, of all the people, the guy that's fucking with crocodiles all the time. But that's not even how you got out. No, it was a stingray. There's a stingray. Listen, sad story. But Norm McDonnell. The way that he did it.
