What's going on, everybody?
Welcome back.
It is Thursday.
We got the crew here today.
It's me, and it's Brett, and it's Roxy, and we are doing a show.
It's called The Big Things Show.
And we have a lot of things to talk about.
Dune, two.
Yeah, you've seen my review at this point.
You've seen my ad of the theater at this point, and you've seen the reviews at this point.
They are out of control.
Now, by the time of this taping, they're at something like 97% on Rotten Tomatoes.
So I'm going to ask the same question that I did with the same crew that was here last time when we were talking about Top Gun Maverick.
Is it really that good?
We're going to talk about that today on the show.
Also, other things we talked about, there was Marvel has been talking about how they're going to change the whole creative.
There's a little bit more detail now exactly what that creative is.
So we'll get into that.
So we'll be doing that.
We'll also have Roxy's take on some of the TV shows and also,
I knew it.
There were some other things
we were going to talk about
and that was the date itself.
Roxy drops something
and so she is right now
that looks so bad.
That looked so bad.
That looked so bad.
Anyway, we'll do that and more
on the show.
She was struggling to find it too.
That's bad on my part.
She was really having a hard time finding it.
I cannot wait.
I'm even, I want to show this what I'm going to do.
I'm going to actually even stop it to show it before we even go.
Where is it?
Where is it?
All right.
Anyway, hit that subscribe button.
Get us to 200,000.
Roxy will be happy to know that currently at the moment we are 1209,218.
So we're moving, groving, we're shaking, bacon.
So, all right, let's get to.
it everybody it's the big thing here we go i have to show you that i have to i have to show you
welcome back ladies and gentlemen to the big thing show it's myself christian harlough
roxy strier i can't brett sheridan us that was hilarious apparently the show is now
called the small thing yeah when brett host i was afraid she was going to hit her head
I kept like, be careful.
But then the hand, I'm like, oh, that's that.
That was one of the best.
I was like, what's going on over there?
And I didn't even realize that.
When I switched, I was like, oh, that doesn't look good.
Oh, that's hilarious.
My mic cord.
It got stuck in the wheel.
That's going to be the one.
We've been trying to go viral on this show for a long time.
This is going to be the one.
The way you like, like, I was legit scared.
You were going to tell you.
Donk your head.
I'm going to get canceled.
He's like, no, no, stop.
Really?
Really?
He's the one that gets stuck.
Really?
After all the Instagram posts,
the people telling me not to show up
and not to do this and not to that.
And I stay back for a second.
And Brett's the one.
Real nice, Roxy.
Real nice.
Yeah, I just was trying to get as canceled
as humanly possible.
So I went for him.
The best was him going like.
Yeah.
Also, am I that repuls?
I was like, Jesus.
No, I seriously.
I was afraid you were going to hit your hat on the table.
No!
The dad and me kicked him.
So good.
So good.
Well, Roxy did, I guess that's a good transition from that moment.
How was the date?
Yeah.
I hadn't seen him in a while, Christian.
The date was, you know what?
I thought the date was awesome.
No phone call?
Man, okay, this was a good one.
Because I texted you, like you asked me to.
You did?
I think I said like a 4.1 or something.
Right.
And I was, I did say out of five, but I was confused at the time.
I was like, out of 10?
Yeah, no, out of five.
I thought this guy was awesome.
He was so sweet, so charismatic, really cool.
The conversation just flowed.
We went to two different spots.
Like, we were at one place.
Then we went to a second location.
And at the end of the night, I was positive.
I was like, oh, I'm definitely seeing this guy again.
Like, he was just awesome.
Yeah, and then nothing?
Not nothing.
So that was Thursday.
Okay.
It was his birthday on Saturday, and he was going out of town with his family to celebrate.
Okay.
So I texted him for his birth.
I didn't hear from him Friday, which I do like a text the next day.
It's not necessary.
We liked this guy because he was so quick.
Yeah.
So on Saturday, I texted him because it was his 30th birthday.
Okay.
So he's younger than me, too, which sometimes is like, you know.
But it was his 30th.
So I was like, I'm not going to not text him for his birthday.
We just had this great night.
We spent like five hours together.
And so I texted him this, I thought, really thoughtful text message for his birthday.
And he responded and was like, thank you so much.
And then now it's Thursday.
So it's been a week since our date.
So maybe it didn't vibe?
Well, I don't know because it was so, like, there's no way.
I'm not a moron with this stuff, despite popular belief.
I know if I'm viving with somebody.
I know that we vibed.
He actually stopped in the middle of the date and gave this really beautiful cheers about how he was like,
you don't meet that many genuine people out here.
And I'm just so unbelievably grateful to have met you.
You are so great.
And then his best friend is the one who set us up.
She texted me the next day, Friday.
And said, how did it go?
So I know she must have talked to him because they're way closer.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have texted me.
And I wrote back like a glowing review.
And she was like, oh, my God, that's amazing.
wait, like, but then I, I don't know, maybe he's just been busy for his birthday out of town
with his family.
Reading into it too much?
I don't think so, though, because it's been a week.
Yeah.
And that's a long time to not say anything to somebody after a first date.
Well, as is the new man in the picture, how do you feel?
You know, I think, you know, if your skills were as good as they were earlier, no, that's,
a week is a lot.
A week is a lot.
You guys think, right?
Like, that's a long time.
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't know.
And then to be so vague on or so just, oh, thank you.
No, no, he wrote something.
I can read it to you guys, but it was like, essentially, he went to go see you two at the sphere.
So I, but beforehand, he was like, I don't even know if I know that many of their songs.
And I was like, what?
They have every hit.
So I was singing all these hits.
So when I texted him, I was like, when I texted him, I was like, hope you recognize more songs than you thought, whatever.
And he was like, you two, I've been listening to them all day.
They're amazing, super.
underrated like you said, thank you for the text.
So, like, he did write a little more.
He was underrated to the younger generation.
Yeah, I was going to say.
No, super, um, I underrated them is what he said.
Yeah, they're not, not to me.
I've seen them in concert before.
I'm at diehard YouTube fan.
Really?
I really need to.
I said, I know the Rose Bowl.
Sick.
I'm supposed to go.
Sick.
Well, I'm sorry that didn't work out for you.
Do you think, no?
You know, it's, waiting for that long.
It's probably not the best sign.
Just being honest, but we'll see.
Well, look.
Okay.
Well, it is what is.
At least it was a good date.
We had so much fun.
I haven't had a good first date in a while.
So, like, all's well that ends well.
It's not like he owes me anything after our first date, but I was super happy to have a normal person.
Yeah.
Good for you.
This is really lovely.
So, like you said, you took the positives out of it.
For sure.
He was nice.
All right.
Well, there you go, guys.
Good start already to the show.
We got a date story.
And that was my favorite.
You know what?
You can tell who new listeners of the show are.
And older listeners started the way that the new listeners' comments come in.
now when they go, well, do we want to hear about a dating story?
And then I had so many people that said it had said to me, you know, first when you guys
started doing the dating stories, I didn't know if I was into it.
I know.
Now I look forward to it all the time.
So I saw somebody recently going, what am I listened to this girl's dating stories for?
And I'm like, new person.
I'm like, you know, new person.
You don't know what you want to hear.
Yeah.
We know what you want to hear.
And that's the whole point with Thursday.
This is the beauty of Thursdays now is that we have so many different shows this week.
The Thursdays can be a little bit more loose, but we do have quite a few different topics to talk about here today, and here's the first one.
All right.
Dune 2, as we were talking about, as you saw in the topic, people raving about it, including yours truly.
Dune Part 2, the reviews came in yesterday.
The review embargo dropped.
Response is superb, with some calling it the first awards caliber major film of the year.
90 reviews thus far.
This is, again, recording this on Wednesday.
So who knows by Thursday what it's at.
But it's at currently 97% on Rotten Tomatoes.
A rather incredible number and considerably higher than its multiple Oscar nominated predecessor,
which was at 83% of those 90%.
Only three were negative.
Sampling of the reviews, a sci-fi epic of the ages.
Villanou has outdone himself.
Alonzo Duraldi, after somewhat peop.
placing those chess pieces on the board in the first June,
Villanuve and co-screenwriter John Spate
send them into strategic alliances and conflicts,
and the results are often breathtaking.
Just as a reminder, I love Alonzo.
He just doesn't know who I am.
That's right. Yes, he does not.
So it goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on as it should.
Now, Brad, I forget.
Did you see the first one?
I have not, and my wife keeps asked me to watch it,
And here's my issue.
Is this going to, do you think they'll put it in theaters again so I can see it?
Just put it in theaters last month.
Perfect.
So it's possible.
I mean, we have a 48-inch television, and I feel like that's not going to really give this.
You're not wrong.
But yeah, but he's not going to bring Lonnie over here.
Why?
I mean, you can.
You want to rent out the studio?
What's doing?
Rent it out.
I didn't mean that fish you right now
How much you're going to make off of them
Exactly
You can if you want to come over here and watch it
But it's
I don't want to lie to you and tell you
Nah, you fine watching the laptop or something
It needs to be watching something awesome
Yeah
I mean it's a nice
It's the same brand as this one
It's an O-L-ED
You should get a projector
Oh
I have a projector you can borrow
Well our living room
Is very short
That's why the television is so small.
Maybe we just sit really close to it.
You could do that, too.
I don't know.
I mean...
I mean, I've got a great sound system.
I've got to...
I mean, like, it will probably end up doing that,
but I was hoping for, like, it coming out again,
but I guess I missed that boat.
But it's definitely something that I want to see.
But this is what I would tell you, though.
If the choice is either,
there's a possibility that they're going to release it again
to couple, you know, the second one.
That's a possibility.
When?
It would probably be like select theaters would be playing it, whether it's an AMC.
You know, sometimes they do like those fathom events and everything too.
So that's possible.
You mean in the next like week?
Essentially, one or two weeks, possible.
Yeah.
But what I would tell you is what you're going to run into is if you don't watch it,
then you're going to run into the same problem with number two.
Number two, you definitely need to see the theater.
Like if you're going to sacrifice one to see on the small screen.
Yeah.
You know what I'm getting so annoyed about, though?
All the people, and I get it, I've said this before, but all the people are like, you have to have, you have to see this in IMAX.
And it's like, yes, would I prefer to?
Yes, but like, there's not that many of the IMAX theaters.
To tell audiences everywhere.
Real IMAX, too.
Yeah, to say, like, you have to see it in real IMAX.
Like, no shit, Sherlock, it's better in real IMAX.
But, like, it's got to be good enough to just go to the movie theater.
That has to be good enough.
It 100% is.
And that's, so that's, I did not see it in IMAX.
And again, beggars can't be choosers.
I saw it.
They screened this on the Warner Brothers lot, and they screened it, like, not like they're, they
have, like, smaller theaters that they screen a lot of these things for.
But then they had, like, the big, massive, like, movie theater, which I, last
time I saw a movie theater there was when I worked at Silver Pictures.
Oh, wow.
And we went to the, they had a premiere there.
I think it was like V for Vendetta or something.
And we watched there.
So they must have filled every single seat.
That's why I wasn't invited, right?
That's exactly right.
In the massive theater, every seat was up to show.
Way.
That was like really early of opening things up too, right?
June, or no?
June 2021.
I was talking about two, but no, no, 2021 I watched, I watched here.
Yeah, because that's the...
It was in theaters and people were telling me, and I was being pretty stubborn about it.
I can admit that.
I was saying, I don't need to see it in the theater.
I regretted not seeing in the theater, especially after the second I knew it was coming out.
And I went, Winston and I saw it at the Burbank IMAX, and it was worth it.
Yeah, that was our plan.
Our plan was to see it in the theater.
I don't think we were ready to go out at the time.
Wait.
You went the first one.
Yeah, the first one.
You know what it just happened, right?
You would have walked out.
I actually would have been so upset.
No, no, they didn't give me a plus one.
I swear.
I swear, they didn't give me a plus one.
Because I'm like.
Yeah, I know.
So there were.
I love you, Warner, brothers.
Pick me, choose me, love me.
I sat next to Snyder.
God damn it.
Why?
I don't know, man.
What a fall from grace I've had.
Yeah, maybe.
Maybe so.
Be the bad date and then no dude.
Yeah.
I pissed in somebody's cereal.
Did you?
I guess.
I don't know.
I've come on too strong.
Yeah.
You've got to play harder to get.
Exactly.
Don't start off shows the way you did.
Nope.
That's what I did to Warren.
Yes.
Maybe it should have.
Never called you back.
Yeah.
I want to see this so bad.
The reviews are insane, Christian.
So that's that poised.
That's this question.
Yeah.
Is it that good?
Yes.
I really was going, I was actually mad because Roxy wrote me and said, she goes, no, you don't
know what I'm about to say.
You're going to dislike me for this.
Roxy writes me and says, what the hell on?
I said, yeah, I had the screening.
And I was like, don't worry.
There's another one at seven.
And I was like, because in my head, I go, yeah, I definitely there is a one at seven
because I was going to stay.
It was, what time was it was, it was one when I saw it.
It's a three-hour movie.
No, 10 when I saw it.
So I was out by one.
And I was like, oh, I'd have to stay from one o'clock until seven in one around Burbank.
I can't do that.
I was going to try to stick around for this, just watch it again.
And then when you wrote me and said, oh, there's another one at seven.
I checked the email.
And the other one was at three.
So I could have stayed.
I could have.
Oh, yeah.
That's so hard for you.
I know.
It was so hard for you.
You're going to hate me.
But I want, it shows the answer to the question is it that I go, yes.
I was legit.
I wanted.
to stay again.
You're blown away.
That's great.
I haven't, it was almost like, people said in the reaction, like you could tell, did you
watch a reaction?
No, no.
You could tell like the, my, like the emotion just kind of, it was like a wave that hit me
and I, audibly was like in the theater.
I went, wow.
Nice.
Best movie of the year by far?
Of the year, yeah.
Best movie of the, any of the big, best sequel, best what?
Like, I mean, so I don't, I can't, I don't, I don't, I won't call this movie a sequel.
It, it is a part too.
It's not a sequel.
Like it's,
it is a,
it is a second half of a movie.
Okay,
but don't be pretentious like that.
No,
no, no, no,
but I'm saying,
but I mean,
but I mean,
it's,
I mean, if I call it a sequel
that's,
it's a movie.
No,
you're not wrong.
Was it shot on film?
Or was it right?
But what I mean is that
when people are like,
well, what's better?
The first one or the second one?
It's like,
it's really like asking
what part of the movie is better.
Is the first part of the movie?
Because it's a full movie.
This is a full movie.
Right,
But you could say what episode is better, the penultimate or the finale?
Yeah, I mean, sure.
Not that this is a finale, but.
Yeah, but when you, if it's structured out for season one, sure.
And this, it's like, it's three hours.
It's like both of them together almost like a six-hour movie.
And it is absolutely incredible.
It's just incredible.
And Zendaya, I always pronounce it wrong.
Zendaya.
It was pronounced, but you're yelling at me yesterday from announcing it wrong.
Zendaya.
She's the moment of the day.
She's incredible.
Yeah, she's incredible in this movie.
She's so good.
Timothy Shalameh is...
You don't care about this,
but her fashion tour of this.
Did you guys see the robot outfit?
No.
Oh, my God.
I don't care about that.
I just think that she is like...
She's the it girl.
She's great.
And now that she has this new movie
coming out, this Challenger's movie,
that's probably going to definitely benefit from Dune.
I don't know if everybody knows,
but I saw that there's a big star in this
that people didn't know was in the movie.
Kind of, but it's so...
brief. Oh. I think
that's so if that's oh
which
Kevin Spacey? Yeah. Who are you talking about?
Can I say it? Well I'll
if it's a big spoiler
I don't think it's I read it
Yes it's
it's it's
it's in the IMDB and it's so it's
Oh okay it's very brief. Oh
Why was there somebody else?
But I was going to say Christopher Woking but he's
He's been billed yeah Christopher Wocken
I said there's Christopher Wocken
Florence Pugh,
Austin Butler is terrifying in this movie.
He's good?
Yeah.
Why would you have in just a blip of a film?
Is it for another?
Maybe.
So that is the also...
Yeah, maybe.
That's also the...
We needed sand preparation.
The question was, are they going to do...
Because this is, as I just mentioned,
part one, part two, is one book.
I mean, it's the Dune book.
Dune Legacy is a whole other book.
It's a whole of the book. Different characters, you mean?
No, I think it's the same characters. A lot of different characters, but it's just not the same book.
It's, I guess, that that would be, to me, like, that's another movie. It's a sequel inside of the franchise.
And I think I have something to do there for sure. But it is like...
You haven't read either of these books, right?
No, I have, I have, I keep wanting to... My daughter actually started watching, or started reading the first one.
She bailed on it. But she read a lot of it.
But I'm just telling you, like the, the music, Hans Zimmer's score, it is shot wonderfully.
It's probably going to be, I mean, it's, Mike was asking me and my brother asked me this,
and I'm sure you would eventually get this question too.
Well, Oscar's, the conversation we had yesterday on the show about it was, my, because
it was supposed to come out in November of last year, that would have opened it up for a chance to get a lot of stuff.
It comes out, it's March 1st, which is tough, because.
there's so many other things that come out.
It's too close to my birthday.
It's too close to your birthday.
That's exactly what they thought.
I overshadowed.
I know.
But they,
so I think cinematography
should be nominated.
I think Zendaya could be nominated.
Timothy Shalmay could be nominated.
Best picture?
I think so.
Best Adapted screenplay?
I think so.
Oh, is it adapted screenplay?
It's from a book, right?
Yeah.
So you know adapted screenplay?
Yeah.
It's a brilliantly written script.
brilliantly written script.
Sting?
Sting didn't show up in this one.
He's not in this one?
No.
Which character did he play in the Lynch version?
I can't remember.
Anyway, you think he's one of the Harkening's.
But it's like
it's just so good.
It's just like this kind of science fiction
that I've been hoping for
and I think that the question I was
Top Gun Maverick, right?
Like Top Gun Maver was the other movie
that was like, wow, this is an awesome movie.
But they're so different movies in scale.
Like this is a way more dense film.
and it's like when you leave Top Gun, you're kind of like, you know, yeah.
This one has considerably less high-fiving.
Yes.
Less high-fiving.
But are there men, less beach volleyball?
Volleyball, yeah.
No, but, well, I think there's parkinans half-naked for sure.
Yeah.
Yeah, but do you have any particular questions about it that's not spoiling it as far as...
Is it three hours?
It's about 2.45.
How's it feel?
Incredible.
Like, it needed to be that long.
Like, it needed to be.
Because there's like, at one point I was like, this has to be a longer movie.
And I was saying it like, please be a longer movie because they're setting things up.
And if it ends now, there's going to be so much, so many questions I have.
So you don't think this should have been one movie?
No.
No way.
There's no way.
I mean, they could have cut it down.
Yeah, you would have missed out of so much.
There's not many things that I would have kind of cut out.
There's something sometimes you're like, oh, trim that back a little bit.
But like the big scenes, the big action scenes, when they're,
work, they're earned.
What are the three people who didn't like it?
What did they say?
Is there any criticism of it?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Let's see.
All right, so here are the negative reviews of June part two.
And I'll see if I agree with any where they're coming from here.
This is three.
Now, again, tomorrow, as of this filming, there's only three.
Nick Newman from the film stage,
takes a good stretch of precious screen time for part two to place anything other than a thorough going
checklist meeting obligation bolstered by obvious craft.
What do you think about that?
I think it's absolutely ludicrous.
Oh, this one's coming from a Hollywood reporter.
Ludicrous.
Let's see.
Lovia Grigark, never heard of him.
Or her, I'm sure.
Plague by a nagging shallowness.
Ugh, what?
When it comes to portraying the Fremen,
the film has difficulty fully embracing the nuance of her worst anti-imperial
and ecologically dystopian text.
No way.
No way!
Again, your opinion, fine.
No way.
I thought that was done masterfully.
It was done masterfully in how that whole thing,
the politics behind in everything.
What about Indy Wire one?
So there's one more from Indy Wire one, and that is...
David Hurley.
Friend of the show?
No.
No?
No.
No.
No.
Not a friend of the show.
I just know of this.
David Ehrlich,
not only does this movie pick up exactly where the last one left off.
It carries over the strengths and weaknesses that made the previous chapter so astonishing to look at,
but stultifying to watch.
Ooh, sick burn.
Yeah, his, his, I mean.
That one didn't seem to like, he just seemed to not love them.
Yeah, but what I don't get there, the first two, so again, for people who don't know how rotten tomatoes works, is that means that that last guy, even with that review, had to go under three out of five?
Give it a C, it said, so.
Right.
So, but wouldn't that be three out of five would be a C?
Just, maybe just around that.
But, like, so he's got to just be over that three.
The other, I just strongly disagree with, with all of those reviews.
I just, it was to me one of my favorite theater-going experiences in a very long time.
Oh, God, damn it, Christian.
Are you going to go, you're going to see it?
What the, I don't know what I'm going to do?
What would you see it?
What am I, yeah, I'm going to, I guess, but like when, how, what?
If I'm not reviewing a movie now, if I'm not talking about it.
I know, I know how it goes.
It's like.
But I only do it when I really.
It was time to spend four hours between getting there, more than that, five hours, getting the,
this movie I would do that for.
I will.
I will.
I'm going to.
see you all it's in theaters.
See Central City.
I'm going to.
I'm going to.
But when do I have a four and a half hour block in my schedule to go do that?
I don't know.
Midnight to 4 a.m.
That's right.
What were you going to ask?
I was going to say, compared to Oppenheimer, what were you?
Oppenheimer is a very, is it.
Why is that the comparison?
Well, because we walked out of the theater like, wow, that was a great movie.
And that was an epic one.
And I was thinking of the IMAX thing, I was going to say, if I would have seen that on a regular screen, I still would have been blown away.
I don't think the IMAX was, you know, it was cool for me, but it wasn't, I don't think that's like, you have to see it.
It adds to it more than you think.
Yeah.
But I agree.
I understand what you're saying.
Yeah, I loved, I still remember, Oppenheimer, I think last year was the best film of the year, the best film.
My favorite film of the year was Godzilla minus one.
So so far, young 2024, I think this is both my favorite film and the best of the year.
I think that
Denisville-Leneuve is right up there with
Nolan. I enjoyed
this one more than Oppenheimer
but it's also because you're playing in my
sandbox with science fiction.
Yeah, quite literally.
Yeah, I didn't really, yes, pun intended.
So if you hit, because this is the other thing
I brought up on yesterday's show is that we don't
have enough science
fiction out there right now and that's why we did
our whole show on this yesterday of the state of
Star Wars and where that is. And it's just like,
I'm just kind of disappointed with Star Wars right now.
And this kind of scratched that itch of like, this is what you're looking for.
And I want to see more of that.
I thought Rebel Moon was going to be something like that.
Yeah, that's what.
See, we saw that and we were super excited about, you know, like a sci-fi fantasy like that.
And that was a letdown.
So I think I'm definitely going to watch this at home so I can see this one.
Check first.
Check first and see if they're playing Dune One.
I mean, what you don't want to do is see them back-to-back.
you'll be in the theater for two days.
But it's, it's just...
That would be fun, though.
Yeah, it could be.
You can make a whole day of it.
You can make a whole day of it.
I mean, I...
Go get lunch.
I might do it.
I mean, I would do it.
It sounds like an alamo draft house kind of a thing where you get some beers in there.
They deliver you the food.
Boom.
Anyway, so the answer is yes, it's that good.
Nice.
It really is that good.
It is, to me, one of the best movies I've seen in a very long time.
and I'm probably going to see it again very, very soon.
Dune.
Sneak it out.
Maybe that's something.
Maybe that's something.
Maybe I'll go see it with you.
Let me see it with you very dune.
We're going to go to that.
Are you getting a pun that I'm trying to make?
It's not a pun.
It's obvious what you're doing.
You're saying Dune instead of soon.
Ponds are obvious.
Oh.
Okay.
So let me get back to that question.
Yeah, I'd like to go.
So if I went with you, would that open that up a little more?
Maybe.
I think that would be fun.
I think today,
is when it's over, but did you see Real Rejects
is doing a whole Dune 2 screening
on Sunday?
Which is sick. I cannot
make it on Sunday.
We have a, we have a
church.
We have a
thing. Yeah. A
oh, yeah.
I know where you're going with that. All right.
Anyway. We have a friend. I have
a thing. Call the guy. Just ask
the questions. As vague as it gets. Okay.
Little
A little, little deedle.
Got to see about a girl.
A little.
Little Shiedl-Deedle.
All right.
Don Sheetle?
I knew you were going to go that way.
You did?
Yeah, I knew.
Fletal, Deel, Don, Cheedle.
You know.
You know me.
Noodle, noodle.
The fifth, beetle.
Okay.
How about that?
Four movies the Beatles are doing.
Yeah.
Did you hear that?
Wait, I thought it was a series.
They're doing a movie.
They're doing four movies.
They're calling it a series of the...
No, they're doing a Ringo movie.
They're doing a...
Wait, are you not talking about?
Sam Mendus.
Yeah.
They're doing a movie.
Oh, they're calling it a series.
Series?
That's what I, the headline.
Double check.
I'm pretty sure it's movies.
I'm sure it's four separate films.
You check that and I'm going to tell you guys before we do that.
I'm going to tell you both about our buddies over at Fume and Nutrafall.
I'll tell you both about them right now.
Let's talk about some habits because you guys know you got some habits and there's nothing better than beating a bad habit with a good habit.
And we've talked about Fume before.
You guys, you guys know, we've talked about Fume.
We've had a few on and we're glad that they are back.
It's great.
And Mark Riley is the one who's really been talking this thing up.
And I can't wait for him to talk about it even more so on the show when he's on for
UAP.
And he's just talking about how flavorful it was better than he thought.
It feels very fresh.
And it's like refreshing herbal tea, but if it was vapor, it was, you can look at like sticky soda.
It's got none.
It's really good.
It's well-weighted.
It's perfectly balanced.
It's extremely fun to fidget with.
And it really, look at the wood itself.
It's great.
You can start the year off right with the good habit by going to tryfume.com
slash big thing, getting the journey pack today.

It's great.
They use flavored air instead of vapor.
Fume is completely, completely natural, by the way, instead of electronics.
And there's no, this is the reason why I decided people are, well, why would you, why would you get involved with someone like this?
Why?
Because they don't use harmful chemicals.
They use delicious flavors.
And that's why I got involved.
Fume works.
They're great.

Riley's been raving about that on our show.
You guys have been trying it out.
It's why they're back.
Same thing with Nutrafall.
We've had NutraFarl for a little bit.
People have been checking out.
I've been doing it for three weeks now.
Yeah, yeah.
You need more?
Oh, yeah, definitely.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, so Nutrafall, Fume.
Link is in the description.
And I tell you guys, and I hammer this down,
please, if you're able to have the means to get one of our sponsors.
It helps out the show so much.
It keeps us going.
It's the reason why we've been able to do the show for the last two years.
Okay.
Let's get to this next topic, which is very interesting.
This is that Marvel stuff.
All right.
New details on Marvel's creative retooling.
Marvel Studios, man.
There's a new feature piece up at THR, Holly Reporter.
It's gone into the details about the creative retooling of various projects at Marvel Studios
following the failure of several of the company's works like Ant Man and the Wask, Quantum Mania, Secret Invasion, the Marvel's.
Studios riding high on the huge numbers for the trailer.
of Deadpool and Wolverine, which saw 365 million watching it,
and X-Men 97, which had the biggest trailer launch for an animated series on Disney Plus ever.
Several new details have emerged from the article.
First up, the planned reshoots for Agatha Dark Hole Diaries were reportedly completed in just a single day,
rather than the five days of reshoets normally scheduled as standard MCU works.
Next, Eric Pearson, the Reignorock Black Window, has quietly been hired to polish the script for the new Fantastic Four,
which aims to shoot this summer.
Marvel has also hired the bear showrunner,
Joanna Kahlo, to work on the script for Thunderbolts,
which will begin shooting in March in Atlanta.
One thing not so clear is if Kang the Conqueror
will be minimized or dropped entirely.
What is happening, though,
is that the Avengers Kang Dynasty title has been ditched
and Marvel was already making movies
to minimize the character after Quantum Media underreformed.
The TV side will give greater control to showrunners,
citing the way executive producers Kyle Bradstreet was signline on secret invasion as part of the reason.
One person who has commented on the changes is Mark Rufflow.
Speaking with GQ, the Hulk star understands the fan exhaustion with Marvel pumping out too much.
He said, I think the explanation into streaming was exciting, but the thing about Marvel movies is you had to wait three years, and that created a mystique.
Three years.
Talking about it.
When there's one a year.
These corrections could be really positive things.
Will it be what it was?
I don't know.
So much to talk about.
Well, first of all, the dark hole diaries, the Roxy Stryor's story.
You were thinking the same thing.
She laughed to herself.
I did laugh, but not because I was thinking it was my diaries.
Is it my diaries?
I think that the way that you think about,
Mandalorian and Grogut, I think about dark old diaries.
I mean, sorry, it's not fun to slate your head.
It's so teenage angsty.
Agatha, dark cold diaries.
Like, I'm telling mom, that's a brutal title.
It's not great.
That's a brutal, brutal title.
I prefer Agatha all along or whatever the other one they had.
Yeah, wasn't that what it was?
But either way, I still understand the reasoning for that series.
I just don't understand it.
I don't understand it either.
I love Catherine Hahn.
Me too.
But I don't need to know about her dark old diaries.
I don't have to know.
No, I mean.
One day of reshoot.
What are you doing a day of reshoot?
Who knows?
The only thing with this is that it's still, they've got to get past.
And it's the same thing.
All the different changes that they're making, cut budgets, do everything you have to do.
But what they need to do is get past this multiverse saga thing.
They got to get past this freaking thing.
They got to get to X-Men.
They've got to get the Fantastic Four.
And then to answer Mark Ruffalo's, you know, statement of, will it ever come back?
It can if you really just focus on X-Men or Fantastic Four.
I can get rid of everything else.
And then people will be excited for things to come back.
But yeah, just right now.
Who's excited for Agatha?
For real, nothing against Agatha.
If it's not me, then who?
Right.
Who's excited for that show?
And that's what Mark Ruffalo was talking about.
There used to be a time of, like, it wasn't every three years.
There was a movie literally for Marvel every year.
But even so, you're waiting for it.
And you're like, what's the next big movie?
What is?
Oh, man, I can't wait.
It's like an event.
And then these characters that they're coming out with, like, who cares?
Like, it's just like, Secret Invasion.
You know we care about that show.
I did watch it.
You watched it, but you didn't care about it.
You were, like, looking forward to it.
But the reason I didn't care about it was, it wasn't good.
Right.
Well, that's true also.
That's like, they had me.
Right.
Like, I got me to watch, but it was not great.
Right.
And the X-Men 97, immediately to me, I'm like, that seems odd.
Like, that's not too long.
Oh, God, that was 30 years.
That was a long, I mean.
Trailer was pretty good.
That would be like in 97, doing the X-Men.
Men 67.
Yeah, I'm like, oh, my God, I'm so old.
You start going down that path.
You lose your mind.
I've done that a couple different times recently.
Talking to some of my interns this past week, and they were pitching things, and I was
talking about, oh, okay, he said I'm a big, big classics fan, one of the interns.
I'm a really big classics fan.
And I was like, oh, like, what are the classics?
And it was like the friends and things that.
I was like, oh, whoa, whoa, what is that happening here?
Dupalipa crowd?
Yeah.
The next level.
Oh, did you hear this?
No, what?
This is the best.
She was on a call with her interns and she said, she went to bring up Julepa.
And she said, Dupilipa.
I had the same reaction.
They thought I was so unful.
Oh, man, that's rough.
I sent you that Wendy Williams video.
I don't know when that was from, but one of them had sent that to me as something.
And I was like, oh, my God.
So good.
I love that.
We call her dupes.
But anyway, the Marvel calls her Dula Peep.
Dula peeps.
Dupa Leaps.
I think ours is better.
Anyway, I think that the Marvel thing, it's just, Deadpool, as they mentioned,
Deadpool's going to be, did you see that trailer?
No, I'm just going to go into it blind.
I already like Deadpool.
I want to, I want to.
That trailer is really good.
It's really good.
That one is going to be the one that, if they got to carry that momentum, though.
Do you think it's going to make a billion dollars?
because I feel like it's going to.
That's good question.
I think it's going to do really well.
I think that the trailer was awesome.
A billion.
They're having a hard time pulling those kind of numbers recently.
So, I mean, I would be shocked if it's under 800.
I have a bet with Roka that it'll go at least $750.
I think $750.
I would take the over on that for sure.
He took the under?
He took the under.
Well, he was originally said $6.50, and I gave him $750.
I mean, $650, I think there's no way.
How much do you think the movie cost $250?
Movie costs probably between $200 and $220.
Yeah, probably $200.
Yeah, I see this definitely hitting over $750.
I would put it right at maybe like $8.50,
but I don't know about a billion.
I wouldn't fight you on it, but I don't know.
It's only because I think that the excitement behind it
and the fact that Guardians almost got there, right?
And I think that...
Three?
Guardians three got to like $750, $800, I think.
Did you see that one yet?
Yeah.
Oh, you did see that one.
Yeah.
I was just thinking about something else.
Now when you called on me, I was thinking about it, and then I had to respond to that.
How did the Hull 2 do?
Sorry.
They both did pretty good.
Hold on.
Let me bring up both numbers.
Well, this is going back in that article, but Ant Man, the Wasst, was considered a huge failure?
Big disappointment, and I think that it barely broke even or lost, like, lost money.
You're talking about quantum mania?
Quantumania.
Yeah.
Did you like that or no?
So my stance on quantum media is the same as it was when I came out of the theater.
And I said, people are not going to like this movie.
Going back to our earlier conversation, I had a feel.
No, no, I was with my daughter.
But it was a science fiction feel, and they switched it up, and I was happy to see that.
The ending is really bad.
It's sloppy.
It makes no, it's just so chaotic that I'm like, but I liked the swing that they took.
But I knew immediately a lot of people were not going to like that swing.
And I still like that swing.
I still like the fact that they went into this different realm.
I thought it was cool.
I really liked that movie.
The ending is enough for me to understand why it was so disappointing.
Like the ending is bad.
And the main villain gets taken away by ants.
It's ridiculous.
Oh, that is an ant-man movie.
But this is supposed to be the next Thanos.
And he was beating like that.
I get it.
I get the criticism.
I just liked it.
That's fair.
All right.
So let's let me say, Roxy's.
question. All right, the first Deadpool. First Deadpool was a smash hit. Cost 58 million to make.
Made $782 million. That is a smash head. You think they made their money back?
And then some. The second doubled its budget and got to about $110 million. And it made $7.85.
So both of these movies have made in the seven range.
Why would Roka think that this would do worse than one and two adding Wolverine?
Just because of the state of Marvel.
And it was different times.
I'm kind of, you know, without seeing the trailer, I'm kind of with them that I don't know.
I mean, the first one, you know, that nobody wanted to make it, right?
And then it just became a huge hit.
The second one, again, they added some more money still made.
But this could not be great.
I mean, like, they could.
The trailer is awesome.
And they know so much as writing on this.
And I think that they're in.
Does it give away a lot of jokes?
That's the only thing I don't want to.
There's a lot of jokes in it.
No, I found the trailer to be pretty serious, actually.
There's, okay, but I mean, they're, but I mean, but I mean, but I mean, there's just your opinion.
There's a serious tone, but the beginning of it is, it's, but I actually did a great job of making it pretty vague.
Yeah.
Like, so it's, in this one.
In this one.
The next one, they're probably one of giving away a lot of stuff.
What was the budget of this one?
Sorry to make you keep doing research, but I'm curious because they have a chance of.
I'll see if we find out.
Yeah.
So there's no, there's no.
figure yet on how much it costs what the rumor is.
But I'm probably, you know, if you, if the first one was 50 something and the second one doubled
it.
58 to 110, probably 220, probably 220.
Yeah.
Probably double it again.
Because, I mean, you got that Wolverine Power now.
But here's the conversation that we had yesterday.
When there are certain movies that earn that kind of budget, right?
I think this movie has earned it.
If you're going to give it a $200 million budget, I still think they should have went for $150 because
I think.
Maybe they did.
Maybe they did.
Hey, Christian, were those numbers, though, based on, didn't Deadpool get released like three times?
Mm-mm.
Oh, oh, oh.
You know what I'm talking about?
You know what I'm talking about?
You know what I'm talking about?
As like a Valentine's Day cut, right, right, right?
When they had like Fred Savage doing that thing.
Yeah, but it didn't make like so much more that it was like another hundred million.
Yeah, I'm sure it did.
In the same way that Avatar had all three releases.
That was a PG-13 version, right?
Yeah.
But it still counts for sure.
But it's going to, Marvel's going to need Deadpool to perform.
Okay.
I'm so nosy.
Yeah,
go ahead.
What?
I just read a text of years.
Of mine?
Yeah.
What was it?
Who was it from?
It was from somebody awesome.
Oh, okay.
Oh, he's gonna be,
yeah, he's mad at me.
Not mad at me,
but he wasn't,
he didn't see mad,
but that could be cool.
Yeah, he's trying to get me to do something.
I got to figure it out.
That could be cool.
Yeah.
All right, listen.
We got...
Read it out loud.
No, we got more TV.
We got more TV coming up.
And we might have,
now, I was going to talk about Beatles,
but we can talk about some other show.
We're going to talk about TV coming up.
But before I do that, I want to tell you guys about Magic Spoon, here it is.
I'm so excited to have Magic Spoon back.
So you guys have said it.
You said it to me lately.

My New Year's resolution was to cut back on sugar, add protein to my diet, and I stay on track with my fitness goals.
So I was excited to get Magic Spoon back on the rotation.

they add up.

less sugar.

protein before and after workouts.

fruity, they've frosted, they have peanut butter. I mix the peanut butter and the cocoa, personally.
This pack has zero grams of sugar, 13 to 14 grams of protein, and about four to five grams of
net carbs. There's only 140 calories per serving. High protein and zero grams of sugar. It's

All right, as I told you, Roxy, I'm officially 20 pounds lost.
20 pounds.
That's sick.
So 20 pounds.
It's sick.
And I will tell you that magic spoon has helped because when I get hungry and I'm like,
what am I going to eat something at 8 o'clock at night?
I hate my magic spoon.
Have you been?
I love magic spoon.
And I've legit the ends of all of them that the kids that always leave out, I've mixed all
three of them together and eat it before.
That's what I have to stop doing though.
I got to stop mixing the series of running out of them so fast because I mixed in peanut butter
and the chocolate.
Yeah, yeah.
And then I'm like,
oh, I don't have anything left.
Animal, you've been eating everything at the same time.
It's tough because it's almost a two-bowler.
Yeah, it's true.
But it's all protein.
It's all protein,
which is so good.
And that's all right here.
So it's really good.
People keep asking me on a line if I'm pregnant.
Can I have some of this, please?
No, it didn't happen once.
Oh, it happened?
I've gotten it like 10 times in the last month.
Yeah.
Pregnant?
What?
I don't know.
I don't feel like I've gained that much weight.
At all.
But apparently I need Maddox spoon, so hook it up.
Okay.
No problem.
Yes.
So that Instagram feed was hilarious is that she had, you know, she was talking about all this,
these comments that people coming in.
And then one guy was talking about, he's like, I really like you on, on Christian's show.
I like you on that show.
He's like, the only thing I don't like is when that, that chipmunk comes in.
And, and Roxy's like, you know, it's not me doing the voice, right?
And he goes, he goes, yeah, I know, but it's weird when he does it.
I don't like it.
He needs to stop.
But I wrote back, no.
It's my favorite
To his credit
He tagged you
He tagged you in the post
He tagged me
But he also wrote back with a laugh
After I wrote back to him too
I have no
I have no beef with the guy whatsoever
But I'm like no
If you don't get the comedy of it
I'm not telling you to need to like it
But it's like it's weird
Don't do it
No it's my show
My name's on it
Hey Roxy
I heard there's someone on Instagram
Don't like me
Yeah I think there's a lot of people
On Instagram who don't like you
Well they ain't reading
They don't know. I starred in a comic book.
Did you know that? I starred in my comic book.
What'd you do in the comic book?
Oh, you got to read it.
I'm not lying. I had my nuts on Steph.
On her?
Yeah, on her head. Right on her head.
She said, in the comic, she said, can you jet your nuts off my head?
For real, yeah. I ain't kidding.
This motherfucker knows.
Is it only fans gone?
Big Balls, you are not the father of Roxy's baby.
Oh, shit.
Yeah, okay, now I can go to Vegas.
Perfect.
Stints.
Stints.
What's that?
Big boss said once if we had Brett going, he said.
He was going to hook up with a hippo, right?
Rinosaurus.
Wait, you want to ask him a question?
You want to ask him a question?
Hey, Brett, I heard you liked my last adventure.
Last story.
I got a new one for you.
Oh, yeah.
What's that?
I fucked a kangaroo.
Kangaroo?
Oh, yeah.
How you do that?
Stints.
Stints.
This time I used a pogo stick.
And I said, jump with me, Mama, jump on me.
And she would jump in.
And I said, oh, look at that.
Target practice.
And then I kept aiming.
Sometimes I hit, sometimes I hit a tree.
I bounce back off.
I shake myself off.
And then I got to fucking.
Jesus.
Big balls, come on.
Hey, come on.
This guy asked.
He asked me a question.
I have questions about kangaroos anatomy.
Oh, please tell me.
What's you want to know?
I'm genuinely curious about, like, do they have penises and vaginas?
Not the one I was with, Mama.
Where's the hole that's under the...
No, he just...
He did the pouch.
Yeah, he's in the pouch.
He's the whole under the pouch or in the pouch?
No, I'm pretty sure...
I think the anatomy is the same as ours.
But where's the pouch?
The pouch is like...
You've got to get out of here since we need to do this TV stuff.
All right, let's get to some TV stuff.
Roxy's got TV shows for us.
Roxy, here we go.
Let's start with this one.
We had the finale of Trudita...
Night Country. Are you caught up on this?
No, I'm still, I'm still
four episodes. Okay, so I won't
tell you what happened. I'll just tell you that
this really worked for me. I heard the creator of the show
loved it. Loved.
Did you hear this whole controversy? No, he hated it?
Oh, yeah, I thought you would know. How do I know about this thing?
I'm not surprised because it's not a true detective finale.
Well, so he, fans were like tag
I think it was pretty petty what he did, but the fans
were tagging him. This is like an Alan Moore
Moore situation? I don't know, I guess, but the fans were
tagging him about how he was missed and he shouldn't, they shouldn't have done the show without him.
And he was like reposting it on Instagram.
And it was just like, it was just petty.
Yeah, that is.
This is a, this show has a lot of supernatural elements to it this season.
And that makes it not fully in line with the other true detective seasons.
I thought it was an excellent series.
And I thought the finale stuck the landing for the show that they were doing, which was not a true detective show, really.
It was a show about detectives.
Right.
Just with the name.
Yeah.
Fair enough.
Yeah, but it worked for me.
Okay.
Next one.
Oh, I just love Master of the Air so much.
And I have Grammy and Papa watching this.
And it is just so cool to be able to watch them.
And I'm stopping every little bit.
I'm like, Papa, did they get that right?
Like about partying and about different aerial shots and whatever.
And even yesterday, Grammy was like, I can't believe that you did this every day.
You know, like you're watching how they get in the planes and everything they do.
And it's just kind of unbelievable.
This show is really heartbreaking, though, which.
which I'm kind of curious after this most recent episode where they're going to go from here.
I'm going to, yeah, I'm going to revisit that one.
I will, I promise.
I let you do this one.
I'll let you slip this one.
Are you not watching it?
No, I can't.
I can't.
The Dynasty, it's on Apple TV Plus.
This network doesn't miss, and obviously the show is made for me,
but I really do feel like it is made for sports fans.
It is so good.
We're two episodes in.
What I will say is my favorite part is watching Drew Bledso talk about Tom Brady
and from Drew Bloodsoe's perspective,
what happened when he got injured
and he thought he was coming back to the team
and the decision was made by Belichick
that he was starting Brady?
I am like just,
I am completely in love with the show.
I think it does give its flowers to everybody
that deserves flowers,
but also you think about just like
there's so many things that happened over 20 years.
There's so many moments.
I probably will.
check it out. I'm sure they're going to cover
the giant stuff, so I'd that. Absolutely.
So I'll watch it for that. No, I
will watch it. I absolutely will. You know what I won
watching Sportswise last night?
The 30 for 30 Rick Flair documentary
on the SPN? Holy shit.
I was like in tears
by the end of it. Yeah, 30 for 30
do a great job, obviously. That was not so anyway, but yeah, but
you're right. I think I'm going to check out this, the
Patriots. They're doing a really interesting
job and I, and Tom Brady,
I will say from people, Tom Brady's
not on the screen the entire
time. So it's not like it's just him
talking about his thing and it's
talking about the whole Patriots dynasty.
All right. Who's this? Taylor Tomlinson
is one of my favorite comedians. This
is her third stand-up on Netflix.
Have it all. And
it is, I think
she's super, super, super-
engaging and good. She
is DPC
Dead Parents Club like me. She talks about that
often. She's single like me. So I do
think that I have a unique. Like I really relate to her.
So she's definitely my type of comedian.
She's in her 30s now.
And the same way that Pratt relates to like George Clooney.
Yes, exactly.
And a big through line of this is like, can you have it all?
And she's like, well, I have my career and I'm, but I'm single.
And I'm like, a girlie, I feel you.
Except for the fact that I'm not as famous as she is.
Well, she's already got a late night network show.
Oh, does she?
Yeah, yeah.
She's on after, who is it?
I don't even know that.
Yeah, maybe.
No, she's got this show.
And it looks funny.
It's like,
uh,
what is it?
Fill in the blank kind of comedian,
you know,
like kind of a,
yeah,
it looks good.
Wow.
She's really good.
Yeah.
And that's,
that's big for me because she's,
I mean,
I just started watching her stuff.
It's been like two,
three years, right?
Yeah, yeah.
She's relative.
I mean,
she did,
midlife,
so I think at 25 was her first
and now she's 30.
She's very funny.
Oh,
the show absolutely gutted me.
This is based off that movie,
right?
I don't know.
One with Ann Hathaway?
Books.
Yeah,
Anne Hathaway and...
There's a movie?
Yeah, and Jim Sturgis?
No, Jim Sturgis and Ann Hathway were in the...
I know it's a series of books or a book.
Let me make sure that's true.
Yeah, it was a movie with Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgis.
No, it wasn't.
I didn't see that.
Did you see the movie?
I remember the movie, yeah, it was pretty depressing.
This...
I think that this...
This show blew me away.
It's 14 episodes.
They're like 35 minutes each, yeah.
Wow.
I watched the whole thing in two days.
Wow.
It was because this is, it's like a, every episode is a different year.
Okay.
So it follows the relationship of Dex and Emma, who are best friends.
Yes.
And starts with them when they're teens and ends up with them in their 30s.
And it is like watching the evolution of them.
Mm-hmm.
I just thought they nailed it.
This could have gone cheesy, corny, could have felt like a gossip girl 90210.
but it didn't.
It felt like a link later movie or something.
I thought that it was a really,
they did a beautiful job.
The performances?
The performances were wildly good.
This guy is the guy from White Lotus.
So he's got some heat on him right now.
I thought she was phenomenal too.
I was really,
really taken back with how much I love this one.
Okay.
Yeah,
I remember the thing of the movie was decent too.
Next one.
Vince Stable Show is a show that Netflix recommended to me
and I was like,
oh, maybe I'll come back to this.
And then I saw a couple critics that I like saying that it was really funny and kind of in the vein of like a Dave or a Atlanta or Louis or Curb or any of the stars that are already stars that kind of have their own shows around them.
And so I watched the first two episodes.
They're short.
They're like 25 minutes.
Yeah, I'm definitely into it so far.
I'm trying to figure out what the tone is in the same way that took me a minute to kind of figure out what the tone of Atlanta is or what the tone of Rami is or Dave.
It's kind of like, huh, we start in jail.
And then the second episode's like a comedy about a bank robbery.
So we're kind of all over the place.
But he's really engaging and endearing.
And I think that I would kind of just follow him through all different exacerbated situations.
So or exaggerated.
Yeah. Exaggerated?
Whatever you want.
I like it so far.
Okay.
Will you be, one of these things you have to do, you've got to, because you have Peacock, right?
Yeah.
You got a one of these days, especially now with the way the ratings are and how much they're in the pop culture, you got to watch one of the wrestling events.
You got it?
I would love to.
Elimination Chamber is this Saturday.
Can you cover it for next week?
How long is it?
I think Elimation Chamber is, you could always skim through some of it, too.
Are you going to watch?
I'm watching it, yeah.
I'm watching it with my little one.
Why do you refuse to watch the new Perry Mason?
Oh, yeah.
I don't refuse.
I've suggested one show to you.
Here's my, you guys know.
So I have watched 24 shows this year so far.
Week.
This week.
No, he said week.
Week sauce.
Oh, like, I thought you meant W-E-E-E-K.
That would have been very, very...
Apropos.
Christian's offer is more engaging to me because, or is more likely because I'm trying
to watch shows from this year.
Parmesan is not this year.
Right.
And it's also in the pop culture zeitgeist right now.
The one I want to watch so bad is dark because of you.
But that's the one that I have to figure out when I'm going to do that.
Dark's like, I mean, yeah.
And it's if you try to catch up to shows from this year, I know.
I haven't started expats yet, which is next on my list.
So I'm for next week going to try to do expats.
No, dark had another one, right?
Well, they had another, the creators had another one that came out that didn't stick around for that long.
on the boat. I can't remember what it was.
But people were saying it was pretty good, but it got canceled.
Bill on the island? No, that's tempting.
I'm on a boat. Oh, it was like, yeah, it was all on a, like a sinking boat.
I can't remember exactly what it was.
Titanic. Stop this.
It was called My Dark Hole.
Yeah.
The Agatha story. The Agatha story.
Anyway, that's the show. That's what we're doing today.
