I am one of your hosts. I'm the outlaw, John Roker, sitting in from our brother Christian Harloff. We've got a heck of a crew today to talk about so many things from the world of entertainment. First and foremost, Brett Sheridan is here. What's up, Brett?

Good morning. Happy Friday to you. I don't know. What was yesterday? Dillie dee-de-le-boo. There you go. Well done. Good job yesterday by Brett hosting the show as well.

Always fun to see my man bringing out his comedy chops and handling and see what it's like to run all these different things at once there, Brett. Not fun. Not fun. Can't be frustrating.

How are you feeling? Good, good. Coffee is helping, definitely today. we at a winter soldier episode was a little bit longer than usual so yeah that was nice 51 minutes 51 minutes for sure a little surprising kind of trying to rival invincible uh episode uh run times as well kind of interesting too dway burkus here what's up du wayne how are you i'm doing well it's been a long morning so far now tell me you're wearing four fucking layers so where the hell are you like are you in the middle of a snow storm or is it just cold down there because you've got some so much equipment in that room. I'm only wearing two, but I'm in Orange County. Okay, all right, fair enough, fair enough. Because it's getting hotter here on the West Coast.

It's getting nasty hot. It's hot. Like, I just went to go pick up some to go food and I was like waiting outside and like the sun was hitting. I was like, yeah. I was just wearing this jacket. I was like, what is happening right now? I don't have a shirt on underneath so I couldn't take it off.

So it's like, oh, I just started sweating. Staying there waiting for my sandwich Start sweating so bad. Sweating all over your eggs. Talk chili for my willie donated $20. Thank you. The cash me outside girl made $1 million in seven hours on only fans.

Peas what's up with this sausage fest. We needed a lady's perspective on his matter. It's Friday. Bang, bang. Well, apologies for that, and I appreciate you. Absolutely right, but Sabrina Ramirez is called in sick right as we're about to go. was trying to power through having gotten her vaccination shot, but unfortunately just kind of got

the best of her. And that's what happens to some people. You never know how your body is going to react. So, sadly, she's the, so it is, it is just us winging our sausages around for the next two hours. I hope that's okay with everybody. You know, Dorina Adeliano got her shot yesterday or, I think, on Wednesday, and it was still affecting her. But you've got to get it done. You got to power through the dark reactions for a few days because it's better than getting this thing and dying. So we're getting long lasting effects from this thing. So you got to get vaccinated. It's important to matter what the price is physically. But we'll do our best to entertain you without a lady present. Hopefully, uh, you will be down for it. And if any of the ladies who usually hang out

on our show are available to come on, Steph Sabraa, Kate Mulligan, Roxie Stryor, I request, I have an open invitation for you all. Duane can send you the Zoom link if you want to come hang out with us for sure. Um, all right, uh, we're going to get into all the stuff. And yeah, Y'all some predatory motherfuckers out there. What? What's happening? With Bad Baby. She turned 18 a week ago.

Yeah. And she made a million dollars in six hours on Only fans. Y'all some dirty-ass motherfuckers. I'll say that. That's almost a day on that. Her name is Bad Baby? That's her rap name. Oh, yeah.

She's a rapper? What? Oh, yeah, dude. All right. I'm out. See you, guys. That's the end of my life. The cashman.

outside girl as a rapper and made a million dollars. An only fan. Take me now! Yeah. Take me with you. God. Yeah, but we'll see, actually, what you does. Just because you make money doesn't mean you'll keep that money.

We've seen plenty of people make money and all of a sudden they're on Big Brother in four years. But can I, can I have the chance to blow a million dollars? Yeah, absolutely. Can I have a chance to ruin my life? I think, Ben, look, I think you're a good looking dude. I think you can get on Onlyfans. I'm sure Duane can help you figure that out. You can put on a nice Speedo and make your money.

There's nothing wrong with that, man. I think that's okay. Men can look good in bikinis too. I think we have to fight back men and reclaim our spot. No, I'm just joking. And the challenger, Ben, NSFW gutter. John, did you wear Speedos as a child? Because that was kind of a...

Oh, see, I did... It wasn't like, you know, I took swim class and we wore Speedos. Like, I did... It wasn't like, you know, I was trying to be cool or anything. And I look back and I'm like, man. I was just this skinny little dude. I wish I was cute. A teeny weenie and a speedo boy.

No, no, no, no. A speedo scared the hell out of me. I could never wear one of those. No, even as a kid, I was always conscious of hell of my body. So I hated wearing that kind of show. But I just think, I just think, you know, I think you have every right. If you're a man, you have every right to wear Speedos or bikinis or whatever on your Instagram or on your Twitter, do what you want to do. It's a free country.

If you want to do it, just like women are doing it. It's a free country. brace your power. If you want to go on OnlyFans and make a million dollars, Ben, God, I think you can do it. I think you do well on your Twitch streams. I feel like that would transfer over to OnlyFans. We just got to get you famous somehow, because she didn't just get a million dollars because people didn't know her.

It's because people know. That's the thing, like, you know, like I've heard a lot of people say that. It's like, you need a platform beforehand, before you start one of these things. Like, I realize there's plenty of beautiful women and men out there starting Onlyfans, but they might not make money because you don't have a following. to start that. Like, you can start it, but you won't get subscribers. Or it's going to be a hard road to get, you know, money off of it.

But, yeah. So you need to go be shitty to your parents on a talk show, daytime talk show, and be shitty to the host. So, Brett, you're my dad. Yeah. I'm going to cuss you out. We're going to get on Jerry Springer, and then I'm going to be slinging this dick on only equipment and we're going to make a million dollars. Dude.

I would love your daughter's conversation right now. If your daughter stormed around, just cold cocks smacked you in the face. Yeah, yeah. Boom, famous. Boom. Anyway, so none of us are on that, so we're doing our best here. And we would love it if you can help us out with the donations here in the chat and in the super chats, the stream labs. And the schmobots, all of that.

You know, we got to cross $500. And it was good to have a good Friday to end the week. Send us off into the weekend in a positive way. So keep them coming. Ask us anything you want to ask us about. It's Friday. You know, we're letting it all hang out. Not literally, but we are going to let it all hang out

having these discussions. For a million dollars, we'll let it all hang out. If we can split it five ways, I'm gladly. Yeah, yeah. Alex, where shall we start, my man? Let's have a Good Friday on this Good Friday. Hello. Oh, it is Good Friday.

It is Good Friday. Tis, amen. All right, let's start with the main topic. Even with Godzilla versus Kong dropping on HBO Max on Wednesday, the Monster Match still managed to make $9.6 million at the box office. This set the pandemic. era record for opening day and could exceed $20 to $30 million that was predicted for the Wednesday to Easter Sunday weekend run. Roku, what do you think of the opening day numbers for Godzilla versus

Kong and does this bode well for other blockbusters set for this year? I think it does bow well, to be honest with you, but remember this is the first one out the gate. People are desperate to see this in the theater. People are being euphoric that they can kind of embrace going back to some semblance of being normal. So people are coming out in droves. This one was always going to make more money than tenant. Let me just put that on. the table. So this is a positive situation overall to see that people are hungry. Now, will it stay consistent if they start to drop these films, these blockbuster films in the theater? We shall see. Eventually, we start to become discerning. We start to become people who are like, well, I'm not

hearing great things. I'm not going to go to the theater even though it's open. That being said, the early reviews and the early buzz has been very, very positive for this movie. I think it's around 70 to 80% on Rotten Tomatoes. So that's a positive for one of these installments in the Monsterverse and I think people were just desperate to go back and maybe be kids again and watch some monster. Worship of the Poussaid donated $20. Hey. Hell, Yaroot.

Men can rock sexy rainbows, bikinis and sexy lingerie too. Despite my name, I also worship a great looking pin from time to time. Hashtag free the peen. Hashtag him totally writing this at work right now. Free the peen. Free the peen. So positives all around. What do you think?

Is this bode well? Are you excited about this? Or do you think this is just kind of as one-off because people are desperate to go back to a theater? I think it's a little bit of a perfect storm, honestly, because it does have great word of mouth and it's got great official reviews. Like, wherever you go, everyone's, like, raving about this movie,

like, even if it is, you know, just for the monster fights or whatever. But that's the perfect theater movie, because that's what you're going for. So people, the theaters are just opening back up, people have been inside and miss the movies so much. I do think you're right. In a few months, people are going to go back to their old ways of like, you know, you know, we just got our stimulus checks. So they're like, oh, fuck it.

I'll go to a $25.00, I'm about it. And so this is literally the perfect storm for Kong versus Godzilla or Godzilla versus Kong. I got to get that right. Oh, man. Oh, man, getting that round one question wrong in the shmoh down. That'll be, that'll be frustrating. But no, this is the perfect storm. So I'm happy for the filmmakers and for the studio.

That's great. But I do think you're right. But I think there's so many huge blockbusters that I got pushed that are coming out this summer and this year. That it might be the whole year. Everyone's like, oh my gosh, Bond, Eternals, Black Widow, Dune, hopefully. Like, I can't name all of them. Top Gun. Yeah, Top Gun.

Like there's so many that got pushed back. Quiet Place 2 Fast or Fast 9 is already 2022 right did they push it back again Wow yeah that's crazy But yeah so there's so many That we might be able to get through this year With everyone just going to see everything

Or at least you know all the big releases But yeah this was such a perfect storm for them With theaters just opening back up Great tweets great you know Rotten Tomato scores And it's a it's a fun theater movie I didn't have that much fun with it at home But maybe it would have been different

you know, getting your back blown out in IMAX. What do you say there, Sheridan? Does tick all your fancy, would you go to a theater after being vaccinated now to go see this thing? Um, I'm, I still have anxiety. Pac-Man Wayne donated $20. Oh, thank you. Hey, guys, I hope John on the show today, but John, they're a new documentary on HBO Max called The Day Sports stood still.

I need you check this out and talk about on one of 100 shows. Question for the table who everyone favorite female comedy minds Wanda Syke. Oh, mine's Wanda Syke. Okay, that's it. Oh, should we do that or do you want me to hear? Finish your comment. Oh, I was saying. Donated $20.

Roka, you need to stop bad-mouthing Tenet. It was a much better film than Godzilla versus Kong, but fuck that last 30 minutes was off the chain. Who do you all got in the team's match? And what eye on on spoiler thoughts on God Zip? Villa versus Kong. All right, let's log those two and let birthplace to come. I don't even don't.

That's good. Hey, Senpai, should I get the ring lights and cameras set up in the pool house? Those props you ordered came in today, so I'll unwrap them for you. Are we expecting any guests for this one? Is that for my only fans? Yeah. Notice me, Simpai, notice me. Notice me, Simpae, notice me.

You all want me to make us some more money. Bonnie? Yeah, yeah, to finish the thought. I don't even know what we're talking about anymore. No one wants to hear the white man speak, Brett. Yeah, come on. Why? They're holding me down. Where on the internet can we have a white guy yell about stuff he has no idea about? It's impossible to find this. This is ridiculous. There are people out there going, look at me, it's finally being represented.

Yeah, I just, you know, I would go see it if I'm, I, I would go see it if I'm, I, I, I don't feel comfortable going to many places, even though I'm half-vax now. So I'm a half-vax hole. Half-fax. But I think, I agree with you that this is just such a fun thing that I know that's why people are going to it. And even if they don't have the greatest time, there's been a lot of like really heavy films, I think, that came out, you know. And then people making films about being in a pandemic during a pandemic. No, I want to see that shit.

Thank God the humans worked. Didn't have to worry about family issues like in the last Godzilla. Yes. That one was from Brett. Wait. Yeah, was it? I love it. So, yeah, I totally agree.

I think that's why the numbers are big. I think this is a great, you know, film to just kind of open up the theaters too and get butts in the seats. Yeah. But I don't know. I don't know when I'd be gone. I didn't go much beforehand. So we'll see. Fair enough.

All right. Before we get to Alex, let's hit those two that came through. So what was the first one? Are you going to watch? Yes. Day Sports stood still. Yeah, the day sports stood still. I'll absolutely probably do a review of it sometime, maybe on Sunday if I get a chance to watch it.

But certainly I'm looking forward to seeing that one. It looks fantastic. There's a lot of great docs out right now. The Tina Turner documentary, everybody is loving. I got to catch that one. And also today on Hulu, they dropped the female stand-up comic. Hysterical is what it's called. It's a documentary looking at the current state of female comedy with some touch.

touching back in history to its birth. There was one done by Joe Rivers a few years ago that was really great. This one kind of grabbing on to more of the modern film, a modern female comics, so I'm looking forward to watching that one as well. All right, what's the next? What's the day the, the sports?

Oh, it's a documentary in HBO about last year when they canceled or postponed all the leagues on the same day and what that whole how that all came about. And they had, apparently they had some behind the scene stuff and people were videotaping and doing shooting stuff about how this whole thing went about

and they've got interviews with people who were involved with when all that went down so it looks pretty interesting it's getting great reviews so uh yeah chris paul produced it or executive produced at least yeah yeah yeah there's also that cue documentary which i got to sit down it's i've been watching that one yeah i got to put i put myself through that eventually um that's uh that's elmo research I was going to send you that Or I was going to tag you in that meme that people were making Where it was like Elmo Like walking around to the two puppets on the bench

It was like, can Elmo say it? If he's just singing along to his favorite song I was like, I was going to be like, Who made this Brett Sheridan Elmo meme? Yeah, I was tagged in a few of those And he's kind of looking down like Yeah, like he's like It's so perfect

I do want to shout out collective that documentary It's on Hulu right now It's Oscar nominated for Best Documentary and Best International Feature It's about Basically exposing the Faults of the healthcare system in Romania

It's a It's super interesting It goes into It seems like a narrative as well It's really freaking good I think it'll win the Oscar I just want to I'd just shout that one out.

Definitely. What was the second comment that we had? Second one is favorite female comedy, favorite female comedians. Oh. Tina Faye and Tiffany Haddish for me. There you go. Oh, nice.

Yeah, like, I'm, like, girls' trip is amazing. I haven't been a huge fan of a lot of Tiffany Haddish's movies, but I saw her at the comedy store. Yeah. She is so damn funny, dude. Her stand-up is so good. It was like, I was dying. I think that's one of the great things is,

happening. You can watch so many of the female like Eliza Schlesinger, I've been watching her stuff for a while here. Leslie Jones's latest one, which was a few months ago. It's fucking stellar. I still go back and watch that. Michelle Wolf is incredibly funny. Her last one that has nothing to do with politics because she

kind of wanted to walk away from that. It is absolutely genius. So there's a lot of great comedy going on out there on Netflix and on Hulu and Amazon Prime. What about you, Alex, or Brett or Dwayne? You got any female comedians that you're watching are enjoying right now?

Mine are easily Adele Givens and Monique. Oh, Monique. Nice. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I want to listen to some Monique standout. She don't play, man. No, don't play, don't play.

She's like Red Fox come back to life in a woman form. Brett, tell me, we got any female comics you like? I'm so bad. I can't think, like, the recent, like, you know, of course, Gilda Radner back in the day. Oh, yeah.

Just, just absolutely loved all, you know, especially like her, her, appearances on the news Roseanne Rosanna-Dan and just you know, tragic story with her unfortunately but

I can't think of... Pac-Mand Wayne donated $20. Hey Benix directed by Antoine Fuco I post to be working but I've been watching this for a hour now it's great. Hey question for Brett I wrestled in high school but I was a meathead you seemed such a nice person what made you pick wrestling out all sports.

what made me pick wrestling I was I don't know I was kind of scrappy and I wrestled a lot with a you know just just I was into wrestling like a WWF back in the day and we used to have parties where we made our own belts

and we would pretend to be different wrestlers and I actually have a pretty low center of gravity so was it was it hard keeping weight Brett because like my friend did it like you know in high school and he like he could didn't keep weight. Like, he was, like, the guy that on the day of the match, like, they'd put him in, like, a sweatsuit on the bike and, like, make him spit a bunch just to make weight.

There's so many weird. Yes, spitting and trying to pee as much as possible. I was, when I wrestled, unfortunately, was when I, like, was just... Real love isn't about grand gestures. It's about the perfect pairing. So get out of here with that puny rose. And get down on one knee with a dozen Dunkin' Browdy batter donuts. With a decadent Coca-Moka signature latte to match.

If you really want something special, sip on a strawberry dragon fruit Dunkin refresher with a sweet Cupid's Choice donut. Take an arrow straight to the taste buds. Because Duncan's bringing the love this Valentine's Day. America runs on Duncan. Price and participation may very limited time offer. Terms apply.

Pure baby fat and just like I was 112 pounds of no muscle. If I would have started wrestling like in college, I would have been that's when I bolted up in the shoulders and I actually beat some guys in my fraternity and like we just had quad wrestling and one guy he was a big dude

and I pinned him and he got so pissed that he broke a window because everybody's like Sherin fucking do a panty dude and he was like a state wrestling but it's that low center gravity folks yeah I don't know

I just picked it because it was there I'm waiting for that in a live event where someone loses, picks up the podium and like throws it at Christian a mark. I'm just waiting for that. Fuck you guys, man. All right, Alex, female comics. Real quick. Sorry, real quick, I got another one. Hannah Gadsby.

Two specials just absolutely like a picture. Nerly bridge guy donated $20. Get a camera making you. Happy free A. Sad I didn't get to watch live to send Jamal some shmibots on his last day. Rotchu are we getting another MCU Lady Outlaw Review slash Drag Race Talk this weekend.

It'll be at my parents, Reester, but we'll still tune in. Hashtag Fart Up. Yeah, well, it's Lady Outlaw's birthday this weekend, so we're going to have to push things to Sunday. So, yeah, normally we drop them, we do them on Saturday nights out, Saturday on four, but we're going to have to push to Sunday at some point. She's watching the Avengers for the first time. So we've gotten to that point, the end of phase one of the MCU. So, yes, there will be one later on.

And yes, she finished Drag Race Holland. Rupal's Drag Race Holland. So I'm sure she'll have comments about that as we do the commentary for those. She's a massive... Have you guys gone to the zoo yet? The zoo. What's the zoo? Oh, San Diego Zoo?

No, she's not a big fan of the zoo. She's not a big fan of the zoo. I want to go. Trust me. So maybe... It's great, man. I haven't been there and I visited a friend a few months ago. They do spacing.

It was amazing. Last one for today. Yes, Benitz is hard to keep weight for me. I played football. so I was 205, but I had to drop to one, one hundred and eighty-five for wrestling like in three weeks. The reason I dropped that much weight, I'm only five, apostrophe eight heavy weight are like six feet plus, and fuck that. Well, that's the other thing. You go, there's like weight groups, and then there's just heavy weight.

And it's just from a number up, you could be as big as, and these two are monsters. Yeah. I could, yeah, oh, I'm getting flashbacks. Sure. Because sometimes I'd have to wrestle them in practice. They'd rub their junk on top. Yeah, it's really, yeah. Oh, just a full junk, boom.

Yeah, it's inappropriate. Alex. Also, if we get to 2000, we'll get sponsored to go to the San Diego Zoo together. So let's get to that goal. Yeah. That's just in. Just in. If we get to 2000, we'll all go on a field trip to the San Diego Zoo.

Hey, and I'm loving the donations today. You must have all been sleeping yesterday. Got to 5-100. No, I know, I know. I love it. But it's like, you couldn't interrupt me yesterday when I was just stumbling over my words. No, much love.

Thank you to guys. Definitely. Keep them coming. And the second one was about Godzilla. What was the second stream? Oh, yeah. Well, yeah, we also got, who do you got in the teams match?

Oh, yeah. Oh, we can talk about that later. Or what do you remember? Yeah, yeah. We'll talk about that later. That sounds good. That's the second part was what we thought, Non-spoiler about Godzilla versus Kong

I put a review up on my channel I'll make it real quick Love the monster fights if you're going for the human characters or the human storylines Don't waste you a motherfucking time This is about the fights and there are three Excellent fights throughout the movie And it's more than worth the price of admission

Or if you've got the subscription HBO Max To watch this thing That's my non-spoiler review anybody else Uh yeah I tweeted that out It was like one day we'll get we'll get Jurassic Park reincarnated where you have really interesting human characters and amazing monster action

but as Aragorn would say today is not this, today is not that day. But yeah, the monster fight is great. Godzilla versus Kong lives up to the hype with the fights. But other than that,

like the movie felt really hollow, no pun intended. But on that, I was on the opposite end of most people of this movie. it was fun, but like this, it felt like it went out of its way to be stupid human characters. But like, Monk hit Dino and it was good. Exactly what Alex has in his background.

That's how I felt about it. I said it as much on Twitter. I gave a very short review. There's about an hour too much of human talkie-talkie and not enough monster smashy, smashy. Yes. Andy Schick donated $30 through Super Chat. Anyone seen the vintage section for Star Wars on Disney Plus?

Ewak movies, Clone Wars, my groceries, etc. Surprised that Disney would put these on even though they essentially disavowed them? I think this is their slow move towards embracing more of the legend stuff. I think they're listening to the fans a little bit more who have been clamoring

to go back to this stuff. And now that they've firmly established success doing what they're doing with these TV. shows and yeah you can argue about that sequel trilogy all you want but the tv shows have been really well received and they're going forward with these movies down the road with tycho tini and what have you and fagy i think they now are confident enough relaxed enough to start releasing this other stuff that is not going to be compared and that fans can enjoy that again and don't be surprised if we'll get an announcement at some point down the road here and maybe this year or early next year that

they are going to release the unedited original versions of all three of the movie from the original trilogy. I think that's coming. They're just building towards it. There's no way they're not doing 4K versions at those at some point down the road. I just think that's coming. Yeah.

Yeah, if you guys haven't watched that Clone Wars micro-series, that's my favorite Star Wars, honestly. It's so good. And I've never seen the Ewok movie, so I'm excited to watch them. The Yamagatta 32 donated $20. Thank you.

John Walker almost went full Karen with that. Do you know who I am? Kongvi Godzilla was a lot of fun. The humans were all but had a good time. Monsters fighting yes. Hi Brent. So when is someone going to karaoke one of Mars owner's music? Oversized T-shirt?

Neeks 2,890 donated $20. Hey guys. My long time GF called me this week saying she doesn't know what she wants right now and needs time. Our five-year anniversary is next week. I know sometimes that's how the dice roll, but this is just baffling to me. Keeping my head up. Love you all. Jenny Lawson donated $20.

Hi, everyone. Hi, Brett. Sorry about yesterday. I had a doctor's appointment. Had to leave the stream early. You did awesome, Brett. Thank you for all you do. Much love.

Thank you, thank you. Much love, Brett. Sorry about that. That's tough, man. Yeah. especially during this time, I can't even imagine five years. Like that's tough, but don't take it on yourself. That's all I say.

Don't blame yourself for what happened. I don't know the full story, but if she's deciding that she needs something else or she wants that, don't like beat yourself up about it. And also, that's just her journey. Don't really try hard to keep them around and really bug the shit out of them because that will backfire. on you. Give them that space and they may, you know, it's like if you love something set it free, you know, it's a hard lesson to learn, but I've, I had that one, well, why? Why are you leaving? And you just, and they're just like, you know what? Okay, you're just clinging weird. So,

and then they scoot even faster. Yeah. The hard is be the strongest person in that situation, especially because it feels like you're ready to move forward and you're ready to be with her. It sounds like permanently for the rest for a while, now for the rest of your life, possibly. if she's needing the space, as Brett just said, the smartest thing you can do is be strong confident enough and not hassle her and give her the space, give her a few days, give her whatever you need, and then occasionally touch base with her. And if she sees you moving on and hanging out with your friends and doing whatever, as long as you're not being overt about it or trying to rub it in her face, maybe that kind of like moves her back

towards you realizing you can live without her, you can't exist without her. and then she feels a little more freedom and independence in the situation. That's positive. But trust me, I learned from my own mistakes, you know, that I'm not speaking because I always did the right thing. It's because I learned that those are the things that later on when you touch, when you come back together years later and you have conversations about it, women will reveal that stuff to you that at the time, you just called me all the time. You wouldn't give me my space or you kept trying to win me back and it just kind of drew me for, push me further and further away. So from the old man, be patient, be calm, have confidence that you are,

someone of worth, and then eventually, if she wants to come back to you, she will find her way back to you. Trust me, women are very resilient when they want what they want to go get it. So be strong, be confident, be respectful, give her a space, reach out occasionally and touch base with her, but don't ask too much. And you might be surprised what the result is. And don't accidentally butt dial her when you're hanging out with some girls and then be like, oh, did I do that?

Oh, how you've been? Don't go full oracle. Oh, did I do that? Yeah, oh, I tried that one. That one backfired. Holy shit. Where are you at? I was playing karaoke.

I was doing some karaoke with some girls. Oh, yeah. Oh, anyway, what was the last one? The dumb shit I've heard. Oh, do we want to give our quick Falcon and Winter Seltcher, non-spoiler, for episode three? Anything you guys want to say? Sure. I'm going to give spoilers for.

for both that and Kong or Godzilla versus Kong, whatever it is, didn't see either of them yet. So that's my spoiler review. I still, I don't know why we haven't gotten into the Falcon and the Winter Soldier. It's not like I have anything against it. I just

I don't know. It's just not happening. I feel like that's a show that people are getting around to and not necessarily watching like that night. So I don't know. It feels that way. At least to me. Bless you. Quickly, my thing is, This is, this was an enjoyable episode, but I also would say this is the episode that kind of pushed the boundaries of me, how much I'm willing to allow of the buddy, buddy cop talk while they're really dealing with real shit.

So I had some trouble with that in certain moments of the show. And the Zemo stuff is great. And Emily Van Camp, it was great to see her. Do I like what happened? I don't know. But I don't want to reveal my true feelings. Just that overall, certainly a good next step for the show. but it wasn't my favorite episode

as what I would say. What about you guys? I'm kind of on the same page. I couldn't really get into the flow of it. It felt like, oh, this happened. And then this happened. And then this person comes in and we're going to do this.

And we're like, yeah, I just couldn't get into the flow of this episode. There is something like, you know, like you said, Emily Van Camp is great. Coming back as Agent 13. I know it's only episode three. So I'm not trying to judge too harshly about it. But with three episodes left,

it didn't quite take a step. back but with how much I was into last week's episode it didn't take that big leap forward like last weeks did as well like I was like oh I am Ray like this I'm Ray this is appointment television now and then I was just like oh okay but hey I'm I'm still going to watch the last three episodes so who knows what do you think Alex what do you think yeah I thought it wasn't as thematically strong as the other two episodes especially last weeks and I think that's where it that's why it didn't really connect with me it was super plotty for a plot's sake um you know just just moving forward just barreling through and not letting the

characters like really have their moments but uh yeah i mean still excited for the show uh i i was i was well man uh that's all i'll say yeah there was a lot of i'm not gonna do that i guess i'm doing that throughout the whole episode that was a little bit like wait well what is it here what'd you think jane uh i think unlike wandavision this actually felt felt like it is going to be a six-hour movie. This feels much more like a film as you put each episode on. It feels like, oh, this was shot as a film and not as a TV show. I think that there were some parts of Wanda Vision that made it feel a little piece together at some points.

Whereas this does feel like a continuous story. Right, right. So I think once we get to episode six and you can watch it all in in a row, it will flow a lot better than it does right now. That's an excellent point to it. When I watched the first episode, I wanted to keep going and see the all six episodes. And so maybe that's their intention all along, even though they're dropping it week by week, that if you watch it all together, it'll feel like a cohesive film that is enjoyable to watch. So yeah, you might be absolutely right, brother. That's good point.

Yep. All right. Where are we off to next, Alex? We are off. Okay. We are off to the trench. DC announced that they won't be moving forward with Ava DuVernay's New Gods movie, nor James Juan's Aquaman's been off the trench.

Both have been in development for years, but Juan will still be directing Aquaman 2 later this year. Rooka, what do you think of DC, at least for now, ditching these projects? I don't. Listen, man. I mean, I'm a little concerned. And I know, look, don't come at me because I'm a thousand percent was out was supportive of the Zach Snyder cut and happy that it's out

but DC is has this very strong reputation of announcing 500 fucking movies and like only five of them see the light of day and I think this is a dangerous path to keep walking and they see no matter who's in charge they seem to keep walking this path

you know and I know a lot of people wanted to come after the previous regime but like even the current regime now once again what this is coming oh no it's not a I always off the trench was a weird one for them to focus on and say they were going to do because I'm like you just barely established the world of Aquaman. Do you want to distract it by turning a segment of it into a horror film? It would have been incredible if they pulled it off and were

successful. It just seemed to way too much of a high wire act when you can't get your main act fully together. But the new gods thing, that's massive. A lot of people have to wrinkle in time We're a little concerned about Ava Berenet taken on this stuff. And we have, was it Tom King was involved in this, who had some controversy over the bat man, catwoman stuff. Not that it was negative or positive. There's just some controversy around how he did his run overall. So this is an interesting decision.

And I wonder what this means. I mean, Ava's been so out there. She's a strong social media presence and all of that. And certainly incredible with the 13th and Selmont other projects. But this is yet another. other big franchise, whereas Rinkle and Time could have been spun off in a number of things, really didn't fall, really fell flat. This one didn't even get off the ground.

So what were the issues here? What was the problem here? And did they change direction creatively? And so for her, that was like, I don't want to be a part of it anymore. There's a lot of questions here. And it concerns me, to be honest with you for, for DC and Warner Brothers. What do you guys think? Ben, what do you think?

Well, it seems like D.C. was kind of. kind of priding themselves in like not being the MCU. Yeah. I thought like that was their plan where it's like, hey, you know what? We're going to make Zach Snyder's Justice League, but we're also going to do Joker and Matt Reeves Batman and the suicide squad. Like, we'll see what we want to put in the DCEU, even though that's literally a made up term. Like they confirmed that that's not even a term.

So it's like, I thought they had their ducks in a row with just like, you know what? We're going to do whatever the hell we want. We'll make whatever we want canon and universal. And if not, we'll make, you know, spin-offs and one-shots and stuff like that. So I thought they were doing well. NerdBridge Guy donated $20. Speaking of Monster Movies, Bloomhouse really got me with the April Fool's spoof trailer for an Elchupacabra movie they posted on Insta yesterday. Oh, I missed that.

Love creature features like that, especially when has the Latino law like this one. True, very true. I wish it was true. I loved that trailer, and I was like, oh, motherfucker's it for first. Sorry, Ben, go ahead, go ahead. No, no, no, it's fine. But, yeah, it's strange that, like, because of Darkside and Zach Seiner's Justice League, they're canceling it.

And I don't know. I don't know the full story. I saw people, like, you know, mad at Zach Snyder yesterday and stuff like that. I don't know the full story enough to, like, get mad either way. I thought the trench could have been fun because for me, that was kind of my favorite part of Aquaman, was that James Juan, you could tell, like, he really dove into his horror background. in that one scene. That's true.

Like, he threw everything, everything in that Aquaman movie. He's like, I got one shot. I'm going to make this movie two hours and 45 minutes and I'm going to make horror, action, sci-fi, underwater, romance. Have any of you seen what's happening with the streamer Ludwig? He's streaming with 10 seconds added per $5 donated or gifted subscription.

Yes. He's been lived for 19 days. Who's that? There's this streamer named Ludwig. And he promises his chat. his chat a 24-hour stream when he got back from vacation and he did a sub-a-thon

and you know, like Twitch, you pay for subs. So every time he got a sub, there'd be 10 seconds added to the stream. He's been live for 19 days. That's insane. Wait, but like, how does that work? When you go to sleep, do you put the camera on yourself while you're sleeping?

I will, I'll literally, he's sleeping right now. I'll share it. I'll share it right now. Let him share the screen. I remember he first talking about this, Ben. He's sleeping right now. Oh, my God. So what's he playing there?

Like, just like non-copyright YouTube videos. Like, people have been sending him non-copyright stuff to play, like, just to watch or react to. His friends have been jumping on Discord calls to, like, you know, help out with, like, killing time. And this clock has been under an hour for three days now. Like, people will freak out. and he literally has a command in chat that says, if you gift more than 100 subs, you're banned until the Sub-Ethon ends.

I'm not sure the relationship advice Brett and Roker gave is the best. I think I heard that Elmo gives great advice on this Elmo. Oh, no, no, no. Was that a $50? Yeah, it was $50. I'd have to do it. We'll save it.

I want to save that one, honestly. But yeah, he's been live. It's 19 days. I guess, and he's probably made close to a million dollars now. What? Yeah. It's $5 a sub and he's the most subscribed person on Twitch. Oh, that makes sense. I mean, there were 68,000 people watching.

Yeah. So, like, people are, like, it's insane. He never thought this would happen. And so I think he's capping it at like 31 days. So, like, if he's live for another 12 days, which I think is going to happen. Because I thought it was going to end two days ago because it went under an hour, but it's been under an hour for two days now. And it's just like, it's crazy, dude.

It's like literally he's doing, he's like the real life Truman show. That's insane. So yeah. That's fascinating. Okay. All right. If I wasn't single, I'd probably be trying all these nutty shit. All right.

And younger, obviously. What's the next thing? Yeah, younger's the key part. Yeah, yeah, right. No one's see it. Oldman, scratchy this ass on. I did that 24-hour screen and was wrecked for days. What's the, what's the, what's that?

Well, uh, with new gods, I think they're still, I think they'll revive it later, but at least they're letting Ava go off and not have to focus on this anymore, which is good. Now she can do her own original stuff. When they see us, make another when they see us, make another Selma, whatever she wants to do, documentaries. Like, uh, at least her voice is back in the, um, in the original sphere in a way. So I'm happy about that. Dwayne talked to me. I mean, this is this is a black filmmaker. This is a black female filmmaker.

That's even less of a percentage that gets a shot at doing these franchise films. What was your reaction when you heard this news? And what do you think might have gone on here? So I, I remember, was it three weeks ago now when we did the Snyder cut spoiler discussion? And I said that good things were not coming. and people called me crazy. They said that I had no idea what I was talking about. And look, we're getting the, the, I, I know Andy Mushieri is a Latino director,

but he is very white passing. All of the non-white passing directors have had their projects canceled. Yep. From D.C. Okay. What, what is going on? Like, in, in this, social economy

you're with everything that's going on right now you're going to cancel the Asian man's project yeah yeah no what just like uh yeah and then you're gonna blame it yeah and then you're gonna blame it on the Snyder cut yeah which is that what they're doing

I didn't you read that tell me that is that what they're doing Duane they're saying it was a Snyder cut was they've they've said that because of how close the Snyder cut was to to new gods and they didn't want the two versions of dark side competing in the fans' minds. And it's like, don't, don't blame that. Don't do that.

Do not blame that. We know what's really going on. We're not stupid. Don't try to force feed us the BS. Yeah, like seven Batman's eight jokers is okay, but two dark sides is an issue. Yeah. That's ridiculous. Yeah.

Like, come on. Like, come on. Wow. This I think we all saw the writing on the wall and saw that something like this was coming. DC still has shown that and Warner Brothers have shown that they have no idea what they're doing. And I'm, I'm less interested now in any of their projects than I have ever been. Yeah, it's so weird. I mean, this Snyder, I mean, how do you not know this is going to happen?

How do you not know ahead of time? You know, I don't remember if, was it, Ann Sarnoff, who's the, the Warner Brady CEO. I don't remember if she said in that interview with Variety that if she mentioned Ava DuVernay's new God. So if she mentioned it in the post-mortem of Zach Snyder Justice League coming out, that's even more of a troubling sign because she was trying to take advantage of the cachet of having a black filmmaker while possibly knowing the whole time they were going to scuttle this project. I find that to especially when she was like, look, Hamada can't be racist. he's a person of color and uh and he would never do that and it's like that's not even remotely how that works uh so i wonder if that was uh if she mentioned that in an interview and then now james hawkins donated twenty dollars look dc is lost the zach snidey cut spoke the truth

and now they are scrambling and still fucking up i'm just i'm so fucking tired dude also if they like if they claim that they don't consider that canon why do they even care that the dark side was in it. You'd think if Matt Reeves wanted to do a Joker with his next movie after this Batman, they'd be like, no, no, no, we just Ed Joaquin. Right? That's it. Like, I don't get that at all. Like, that makes no

fucking sense. Like, no one would be confused. Literally nobody. Yeah. Like, that's all you'd have to say, like, oh, it's, you know, it's an offshoot just like Joker, just like Matt Reeves, Batman, you know. Yeah. And like, they're, it's ridiculous. And there's so many other characters to focus on, like

bugs, a race of humanoid insects. a Carl, childhood friend of Orion killed during the bug raid. There's Becca, Hyman's daughter, and Orion's wife. I can go on. I know so much about this, what I'm reading out of Wikipedia. And also the part of this, Darkseid wasn't even in the movie like the whole time. It's different. Like Steppenwolf was in the movie, pretty much as the main focal bad guy throughout.

And then Darkseye would pop in for a few seconds or minutes with his scenes. To get his shirt. shit wrecked by Aries. That's true. That's true. Aries brought it. By a buff-ass David Thulis, baby. But no Celestea? A flyer? I mean, come on, guys.

So it seems weird. That seems weird. And I wish Ava could speak about it, but she probably can't because of the NDAs. But, and that stuff needs to end, too. If the studio can lie and spin, the director should be allowed to correct that right off the bat. You should never be required. to sign an NDA that can't be rescinded the moment the studio speaks out of turn about what actually happened

with a project. That shit's got to stop. All those fucking NDAs have got to stop. And to be very clear to everyone in the chat, I'm not saying that the movies got canceled because the directors were Asian and a black woman. What I'm saying is it is the optics

and it's also very suspicious that those are the only movies are getting canceled when you've got things like the situation with members of the cast of Aquaman, members of the cast of the Flash. You know, we've got problems like that, but those movies are still fine. And to be fair, though, Aquaman Tune is being directed by James Wan, so that is going forward, that one at least. But I hear your point, Dwayne, absolutely the optics of it do not look good overall for WB racially

or just overall as a studio putting out superhero content to constantly say, oh, we got this coming on. No, we don't get this coming. No, we don't. And it kind of frustrates fans who are excited about stuff. And there's only so many times you can tease fans before they eventually start turning off in larger numbers. We'll see.

I mean, I'm sure a lot of people looking forward to that Matt Reese Batman, but if it underperforms even a little bit because people are upset or protesting WB by not going to see this film over and over again, that could signal issues. all the talk that Anne Sarnoff had in that interview, she could be out the door if these things underperforms. You just never know. It's like, are people ever going to not be restoring the Snyderverse on every fucking brother's movie now?

Like, Black Hulk donated $20. Agreed. Maybe DC higher-ups never heard of comics and different iterations of all these characters that can exist at the same time. Yeah. Yep. In The Heights does take place in the Snyderverse.

So there is that. It's gonna happen. Oh my God, they made the fucking Mothra joke again, by the way. And it went viral fucking again. I don't get it, Alex. Oh, I'm losing my fucking mind. And I do. And I,

the Godzilla versus Kong thing of like, Mothra, why did you say that name? Oh my God. This is like the fifth fucking time. You've made this joke. And I do want to not seem like I'm like a DC hater. I'm not. My favorite superhero is actually a DC hero, but Marvel also kind of has a similar problem of saying, hey, you're going to get this and then you're not going to get it with Black Widow.

When we finally get Black Widow, are people going to care because of how much that they've been like, hey, you're going to get it. No, you're not. Hey, you're going to get it. No, you're not. Now you've got to pay 30 bucks for it on Disney Plus. Right. Yeah. There's are more like, you're going to get this director's version of this.

And they're like, no, we're going to change our minds here. That's more the Marvel thing for sure, Dwayne, and that's a fair point. Absolutely, because, yeah, Black Widow's been the ultimate tease. Like I said, by the time you get it, is anyone going to really care, you know, at that point? So we'll see.

Yeah, I'd like to think Marvel will finally learn their lesson of, like, hiring really great interesting directors and then not letting them be their great interesting selves. I think they've gotten out of that with, you know, with Ryan Cougler and Taika Watiti. Yeah. So hopefully we'll see what happens. But, yeah.

All right. What do we got to promote here, Alex? It's 11 o'clock. Sorry, go ahead. I mean, yeah, we're talking about teasing. And today we got something spicy for you today. We got Shazam versus Final Exam in a team's number one contender match. That's going live at, that's premiering at 2 p.m.

So who do you guys got? What do you guys think of this match? Ben, what do you think? What do you think in here? I can't not pick Shazam because they've only lost five rounders. They've never lost a three-round match. Like, that's an insane stat line that they've literally, they lost at spectacular. And they lost two odd couple last year at spectacular.

They've only lost it spectacular. I just realized, I didn't realize that fact either. So I got to pick, I got to picture, Sam, not by much because final exam gave them a great game last time they played each other. So I think it's, it's going to come down to that wheel spin, man. It's going to come down to that wheel spin. but I'll pick Shazam by the slimest slimest of margins, but it will not

surprise me if final exam wins. Okay. Oh, here's somebody that might have some thoughts on things flying in hot. Who's that? Is it too soon? Hey! What's up, Guy?

Hey, Guy. How are we doing? Hey, guy. Good. We're talking about Shazam versus final exam today dropping at 2BFBT. What are your predictions for the match there, Mark? My prediction is that the team name Shazam is going to be much less controversial than anything going on in the other Shazam universe right now. So that's good news. I think it's going to be a great team's match because we haven't had a lot of teams matches this year yet.

And so we're just starting to get into the flow of it. So I am expecting big things from this matchup because you have four. Very different personalities for very different internet speeds in this particular. Oh my gosh. Probably six different internet speeds with Coys. Coy, yeah, exactly. Coy, to say the Coy has internet speed of any kind is a misnomer. That's true.

That's true. Dial up. Yeah, dial up. Coy's like Rain Man. He's answering a question from 30 minutes ago. Good to see everyone. Today looks like we got a full house and there's just a lot of meat on this pizza. Oh, yes.

Oh, yeah. So our meat lovers. The question of the day, Mark, I saw you saw it. Are you team Kong or are you team Godzilla? Yeah. I am team full tub of popcorn. Hey. It is my official.

What a cop out. What a cop out. Because no, everybody knows I'm team Kong. Everybody knows that I've been team Kong since birth and getting to see that movie last night. I'll tell you what, man. It was, it was just an exhausting experience being back. And we rented the whole theater out. Wow.

Even that. But it was a universal city walk. And it was just like a lot of to do just being out in the world again in that capacity. But once I got into the theater, I had my tub of corn and I had a large soda. And I got, I got Reese's pieces, which I've never done Reese's pieces on popcorn before. Very, very ecstatic. Where the fuck have you been? That's the fucking.

I was doing M&Ms. I usually just did nothing. I usually just did nothing, but then my friend, Eliza, taught me how to do Sour Patch Kids on popcorn, which sounds weird, but it's actually really good. Okay. And then Eminem's are a classic one, but I want Reese's pieces, and I'm not regretting it. A bunch of crunch is also good. Black Hawk donated $20.

Thank you. Mark in the building. The best ties in the business. Can't wait for the match. Yeah, yeah. If you get it, if you make them make you a fresh tub of popcorn, And you put the bunch of crunch right on top of that hotness and it melts into the bump. It's fantastic.

It was a long line. I alternate between just like popcorn and slurpy. Just like right. Just like right back and sweet, sweet and salty, sweet and salty. I like that. Brett, did you get your invite for last night for the when they. No, I miss. I didn't get away.

Alex, did you? I haven't checked the mail yet. So maybe it's in there. I did see a carrier pigeon on my balcony, but who knows. Don't be dropping your nuts in here. you bought out a theater son do you know do you know who got invited you know who was on the VIP list who no one Adam Wingard no literally no one I feel like I do enough good for the world and for my friends that I can have this night to pretty much myself and I was wait wait you bought

out the theater for yourself don't bullshit me I split it with with a friend and and the friend brought brought some family and some friends but I separated myself even from them because you ran out a whole theater and I went front row. Nobody else even went to the front 10 rows. And it was, but here's how much I miss being in a theater. I hadn't seen any of the trailers that were running. And I'll tell you all this right now.

Nothing that happens in Godzilla versus Kong is as preposterous as the Fast and Furious Nine trailer. That's the most of it. I cannot wait for that movie, honestly. Like, yeah. Oh, man. That is going to be June 20 this year. Oh, nice, perfect.

Fast nine? Yeah, yeah. To be fair, I mean, Vin Diesel should have like 10 concussions by now in that series. So he should be playing. Well, people keep getting, like, landing on cars and thinking that that's safe. And I really want Fast and Furious to explain that to me.

Yeah. That should be an S&L. What actually happens when you land on a car. Oh, shit, dead. Oh, shit, his arm came off. If I do, if I ran out an entire theater to see Fast and Furious, 9. My only person I'm inviting is Neil DeGrasse Tyson

because I want to see how long it takes him to leave. Yes. Not of that. Because there's a moment in the trailer where Dom catches a car. Like he's on top of a car and a car flips and he like stops it. I'm just like, oh, man. Your arms would literally come off your body.

Look! Anyway, ridiculous. Well, what's your thoughts quickly? You mentioned the D.C. stuff, Marco. What's your feelings on David DuVern? and the canceling of the trench and new gods. And then the excuse by WB that it's a Zach Snyder situation that they felt because Zach started it so well with Darkside, they didn't want Ava DuVernay's Darkside being compared.

What's your feeling overall about this? It just, it feels like the DC leadership is a little bit like a, a poorly run sports franchise where you're just constantly scrambling at whatever just happened. It feels like James Dolan, the owner of the Knicks, runs DC because they're just, They're so reactionary at this point. And you have a lot of filmmakers that have a lot of great original ideas. And I finally finished the Snyderverse or the Snyder cut of Justice League.

And I really liked it. I thought it was cool. I need somebody to explain the post credits things. I have no idea what the hell the F-WR was about at all. But I enjoyed it. But my take on all these at this point is that sometimes you just need all of this to go away for a little bit. And I think we've lost sight of that. And we got really inundated with great MC.

you content for a while and some good DC movies, but I still missed the days when it was more of a tantric experience to root for a franchise because you'd go see a movie and it'd be so exciting for two, two and a half hours. And then it would go away for like a year, two years or three years, and you would have time to let it bubble back up and simmer and get excitement. And now we're just constantly eating all this stuff and consuming it. And it just, it all feels like too much. okay dad anyway you know the the the world moves on mark it gets faster and faster you know this we'll be getting six second marvel movies in about five years you know that what so what don't you get about the epilogue joker gives batman a reach around what's there to like what questions do you have mark we live in a society son we live in a society of joker reach arounds come on like this is the dc e u extended uh i had such a blissful week because i was off twitter all week because I was so worried about somebody ruining Godzilla versus Kong for me because I saw what every reviewer did with Zach Snyder's Justice League. It's like, well, because this movie came out at home,

I can list my 20 things about it as soon as I see it the first time. And I'm like, it just, I don't know. It's maybe I'm just getting older. I just don't think that's the right way to review a movie the first night it comes out unless you warn people ahead of time that you're going to be doing this. And I don't want anything ruined for me on Twitter. So I left Twitter for a week. And I got to tell you, it took three strokes off my golf game. I feel great. Wow. Oh, no, you're absolutely right. People were like live tweeting it and stuff like that and it's just like, guys, I realized that this is like dropping at midnight, but not everybody is like staying up to watch it. And so it's like, can we at least have the weekend? Like just the weekend of like doing this? Like it's still a movie. Well, they did it for

God versus Kong too as well, Ben. I saw a number of influencers who the studio reached out to and asked them to live treat their reactions as they were watching Kong at 7 p.m. the night it came out. So there's no restrictions on that. You can drop a spoiler on accident or whatever. And I always think that's dangerous. I was, I don't mind if people do spoiler reviews. I mean, I, you know, you're supposed to do spoil reviews all the time. Like we'd go see Star Wars and we would do a spoiler free review and then a spoiler review. Yeah. And now it just seems like that line has just gotten so blurred because I understand people are trying to make a living and get contentious contentious content out there, but this feels like you're ruining the experience for a lot of fans who just want to be

online. I will also say, though, there's no law that says you have to be on Twitter every hour. And so if you really want to see something like Godzilla versus Kong and you want none of it ruined, it's okay to take a page out of old Mark Ellis's book and just don't be on Twitter that week. You can come back. You'll be welcome. You're not like the other president. You're going to be welcome back eventually. Well, that's what I, that's as an old fellow who hates social media, That that's what is always, and it's kind of scary that, I mean, I guess that people can't stay off of it. That's, I mean, it's, it's an addiction, I guess. But, like, I'm like, yeah, just don't go on there.

I do it every day. You know, so it's, it's, it's. It's also like, if I'm just like, oh, you know, absentmindedly on my phone, if I click on Twitter, like, and there's just like, oh, Godzilla versus Kong, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I'm like, that's not my fucking fault. Like, yeah. Yeah. Sorry that I shouldn't have to change. like my entire routine for a week.

Yeah. Because you can't just shut the fuck up and not spoil a movie that hasn't even dropped yet. Yeah. For us, but I'll even see it. People that don't get press screeners. I'll even see it in emails. I checked my email yesterday before I went to go see the movie. And I had emails with subject lines and I'm like,

if that ruins this movie from it from publicists. Yeah. Because they're trying to hype up the surprises that work in movies now as soon as the movies drop. And it's like, can y'all just, take a breath. Yeah. Can we do anything else? Is there anything else to talk about until everybody gets a chance?

Yeah. It's so strange and especially with things, you know, like dropping on Disney Plus, even behind the paywall. Like I just feel like when like Justice League, we kind of knew what was going to happen. You know, we got the 2017 movie and it was just like Zach Snyder's version of it and like his original vision. So they're like you could spoil some stuff, but you kind of got the same gist of the movie. Yeah. The same bullet points.

Just, you know, more of them. But like with Black Widow, I'm fucking terrified. Like with Eternals or something like, or James Bond or something. It's like there's going to be major spoilers out there the minute this thing drops. Like of who, like, what's the, what's the villain in Black Widow? Taskmaster. Like there's going to be like instant spoilers of who Taskmaster is. Like someone's going to fast forward, find out who it is and drop that shit like in a minute.

And it's like, oh, cool. And say they called it the whole time. Yeah. Anyway, all right, let's, let's move off on this subject. Let's move on to something else.

Do we have to, what do we talk? Oh, yeah, Shazam versus Team, Team Lawn and Team Oiyama. Finally said, that's it. They are today at 2 PMPT.

Watch that thing. Listen, I mean, looks, I got, you know, the great bread shirt in. I know. That was perfect. That was spot on. Good job.

You gave that one away. John, I'm sorry. Should it win for 50? I'll always think final exam is living off us because we blew that Eddie Murphy around. If we hadn't blown it, we'd have one. And final exam would not have the same amount of matches that we'd probably be still together as a founding fathers.

Dan and I, we'd be in these conversations. But sadly, you know, you go by the way it go. You go with the way it goes. So I think they're going to give Shazam all that they can handle. But in the end, I just think the combo of Shazam is a little bit more knowledgeable about film than Oiyama and Lott. Yama is incredibly knowledgeable. I think Lawn is where the slight weakness is between the two guys.

Not in a way that's negative. Just that Oiyama knows so much. A law is just a little bit behind. That could be the difference. Yeah, well, Lon also lives in a tent in the woods. So. Yeah. Sure.

You're right. He does. Yet he still has better internet than Koi. So I'm just, I'm not sure. That's a good point. We live in a society, Mark. We live in a society. Yeah.

But yeah, it's definitely, it feels like it's going to be come down to like who goes multiple choice. in this match. Yeah. Like it's, especially in three rounds. Like, it could go either way.

But like, Shazam's only lost it's spectacular in a five-round match. So it's, it's going to be an insane. Like, I'm excited that we're,

it's not, it's not even a pay-per-view. You guys are getting this for free on YouTube. And it's pretty great. That's true. Any other things to plug here, Alex?

We did have the premiere of the FCL this past Tuesday. So make sure you check out on extras on YouTube. Subscribe to there because we will be putting up the match, the matches up there as well.

And also we have tickets on sale for next week's big pay-per-review match with Stacey Howard versus Kevin Smith. And Dan Morrow versus Collins, too. So make sure you go to the Shmodown Live.com and get your tickets there or become a $10 patron, and you can get all these pay-per-view matches for, included in your patronage,

patronage. You nailed it. I think if Merle doesn't take K.O. Collins, You know, he's not really the goat. Just put it out there. Wow. So John likes extra salt on his popper. It's confirmed.

Also, real quick, if you don't want to have to wait two weeks to watch the match, you can watch FCL matches live on the Schmodown Twitch. Twitch.com. Yeah, good call. Great plug there, Dwayne. Absolutely. Brad Gilmore and Stephs abroad doing fantastic work. Dwayne working behind the scenes to make it all happen as well.

So much love to you, Dwayne. making it was a hell of a thing you guys got i know there's a lot of moving pieces and you pulled it off really really well and it's a fantastic presentation and i would quietly say it i'm like in trouble with this the graphics are just as good as the new graphics yeah the live graphics for the match like that was the most impressive part about it honestly the live graphics the changing questions the score updating like that it was you guys were like i could just it felt like i just Dwayne just in the back. Oh my God. It looks so good.

I'm behind the scenes like Tom Cruise and Minority Report. Well, if you meet Dwayne in person, I know he looks just like a normal human, but he actually is half octopus. So he has eight arms that can. That's why he's so good at taking pictures at theaters or at comedy clubs and you never see him because he just has those long arms. He can like, he can throw like an ink spot and you can't see anything for a minute. that's when Dwayne shows up.

Very ninja-like. He's a ninja octopus. It's to begin a good week for the Shmodown as well. I mean, we had the Alex Damon Barbarian match that's out there, I think, right? It's a go one. To watch. It's a go one. And drop yesterday.

I tweeted this out yesterday because, you know, Christian Harloff convinced me to get an Oculus. So I saved up for about a month that I have got me an Oculus. And I watched the page for Brady, for Betty, sorry, for Betty. and Peggy Gubman's match. That's a damn good match, ladies gentlemen. Both those ladies get the schmodeown.

I love competitors that get the schmodeown, and they were incredible. So as rookies, to come out of the gate and have so much personality, have so much confidence in what they were doing, it was a blast to watch. So if you haven't watched that way.

What do Paige and Peggy have to do with you buying an Oculus? Because Christian said that a new way to watch the Shmodown matches, watch them on the auction, Oculus on the YouTube. It like it blows your mind and he was. I'm sorry. You need that that page for Brady, uh, Boston accent in VR. You needed it like you need to experience.

Yeah. Her bringing out the Dunkin' Donuts napkin. You need that on the Oculus. I just feel like you fell into Harlowff's web here because he's been trying to get me to buy an Oculus for three months because he wants to play me in mini golf. There's a mini golf Oculus game. Oh my God. He sent me that. He sent me that. It's a $10 app. I'm like, I don't want to pay for that thing. The thing was expensive enough as it is. But, you know, I'm not buying. That's how they get you. That's how they get you, John.

He gets a, he gets a one-stroke handicap for everybody he refers to the mini-wolf games. Like his stereo hustle. I respect it. Speaking of which, Brett, are you doing a stereo show today? Not today. Yeah, we're redirecting some stuff here, but yeah, we might be back. Yeah, so no, no stereo today. Nothing today, really.

I got Brett and Kate at 1 p.m. today. Oh, 1 p.m. We moved it because we didn't want to interfere. We didn't want to pull from the Schmodeau matches. So, yeah, we decided to do them a favor and start a little earlier. And your boys got a... Very magnanimous. This that he hasn't figured out how to use yet, but we might be playing Animal Crossing.

We may not. We'll just see if I could figure out OBS in an hour. So, yeah, that's it. Do you got a guest today? Do you got a guess there? No, we're just going to be doing that. And then coming up in the near future, we'll be having Alex, everybody else who complained about not being on the show ever.

Alex didn't complain. He was actually just like, hey, I'd love to do it if you had a chance. And then Brett was like, no, no, no, you'll never be on the show. Roxie was I'm sorry I'm sorry so many people It's it's It sickens me

That so many people are badgering My friends Brett and Kate And they're upset that they're not on the show Because I was on the show And I was upset that I was on the show Yeah Mark actually put us through a workout That almost killed me

Yeah it was fun For you Welcome back He loves to show off his box jumps Oh man The only time I've been on the show Was to rescue Brett He would buy himself because he had to bail.

There's nothing more than those shin scratches from his box jumps. Yep, they're real. Those are real, no joke. All right, let's move on to our next topic here, Alex. And by the way, ladies general, we're at 420. We'd love to get above that 500. We're $80 away, but we love to cross that thousand. There's 40 minutes left.

Send in some contributions, some donations, some stream lab, supertetched, robots. Get us over that thousand. You got Mark Ellis on the show. Show him how much of love him. all the stuff he does here for the SCN network and calling all those Schmodeau matches and just general his general sense of humor overall. Give him some love and send in some stream of love,

Super Judge Schmovats. Now's your chance to ask him anything you've ever wanted to ask him over the next 40 minutes. Ever, ever. Roca, all of the salesmanship, it's not going to help you next time there's a challenge. Oh, don't get me started. We're not going to go back to that challenge.

Those were my two points, you aggressive question. You got an easier question than what you. You challenged on. It wasn't easy. Just say the lead of the film. Just say the lead of the film. I had it.

Who the fuck is Oscar? Anyway, all right. The lead of the film. He did characters. I don't know character names. I'm just giving us fodder for when we're two old guys on a porch in rocking chairs. I'm just giving us stuff to talk about. You should be thanking me.

Yeah, you're right. You're right. That's for sure. You did rule my challenge. For once, you've ruled correctly on that challenge. All right, let's move on to the next. All right. Let's get to stream labs.

All right. We've got a few to hit. Hot security guard says, with Netflix making knives out two and three, do you think post-COVID big theater chains like AMC and Regal will show Netflix movies during Netflix's three-week theater run in an attempt to get more revenue in theaters? Netflix movies only played in indie theaters.

It's a good question. I mean, certainly that's a possibility because theaters have been so upset about Netflix, but if you want to survive, sometimes you've got to swallow your pride and make adjustments so that your theater has content to show that'll lure people in. So I would not be surprised to see big chains all of a sudden create financial possibilities for them and business plans to work with Netflix or Amazon Prime or Hulu

or any of the other streaming services, Disney Plus, to screen their stuff in theaters during that three-week club. We shall see. What do you guys think? Yeah, I think, like, I think that, you know, they'll negotiate to be like, we're going to play this on one screen for three weeks and that's it because, you know, it's like for people that aren't us, people are going to wait the three weeks to watch

knives out too. Like for other people, it's not, you know, Godzilla versus King Kong or Black Widow, like this big theatrical experience you need to see in IMAX. But I'm going to go see it in theaters. But it'll definitely be like, oh, here's two screens for three weeks, you know, at the AMC where, you know, it's that back screen. We have to walk all the way around and it's that back one. Like, where you're like, oh, my God.

Like, it's so far from the bathroom. It'll be that screen 17 all the way in the back that has like 20 seats and a rundown projector. Yeah. All right. What do you guys think? Mark, what do you think? Do you think this is possible? I feel like the great Don Olmeyer quote, the answer to all your questions is money.

And I think that one of the things you have to remember is that there's not as many screens as there were pre-pandemic to play movies on, even at big chains like AMC or Regal. So if there isn't competition for those. Netflix movies, if there isn't enough quality content to get butts in seats, which is the goal of movie theaters to get people in there to buy popcorn, then I think that they'll probably swallow their pride and strike a deal with, not just Netflix, with other streaming services, because there is a market for it. Like, I'm clearly an example because I could have watched that damn movie last night at home. And I was like, no, I want the popcorn. I want to sit in a giant theater on a huge screen and watch these two beasts go at it. Yeah, yeah. What about you, Alex?

Yeah, I think it'll work if it's an exclusive run. I know HBO or WB made a deal for next year already that they get a 45-day exclusivity run for Regal, I believe. So I think in that respect, it could work for Netflix. Yeah, all right, for sure. All right. Well, Sharon and Duane, you guys have any thoughts on this one? I think Mark really, yeah. It's all about getting seats and butts.

No, wait, it's the other way around. Who's the fan that wrote that in? That was Hot Security Guard. Why is Jay Washington sending us? He would call himself Hot Security. Dwayne, any final thoughts on this? Or should we move on? No, I think Alex put it best.

It's going to be exclusive runs with certain streaming services. It's the only way to make money. You put that eyebrow down, you little shit hit. All right, what's the next thing, Alex? Inappropriate gay dude says, well, smack my ass and call me better. Betty, Roka returns. All is right with the world. Since we have a sausage fest today, question for the panel.

What's the best method for masking an untimely, potentially embarrassing boner? Hmm. You just do the, if you're in school, then you just do the hold your books in front of you, Trin. You just, you do what we used to refer to as the tuck up, and then you put the book in front, and then you should be good. And if you're having that problem in your 20s at work, then you might want to, find a different line of employment because

seems like it's probably going to be an HR nightmare I think the church boner was always the toughest one to hide because then if you're hiding it with the Bible then that seems wrong it just it was a whole

it just took it to a whole level of embarrassment. Yeah, inappropriate gay dude don't hide a thing. Yeah. Be a man. You've been given a gift from God which is your cock. And if it wants to stand at attention for whatever reason,

let it stand strong and proud. Now, don't let it stick out. Yeah, don't let it stick straight out. That's certainly inappropriate. But if it's, you know,

it's appropriately lined up against your body and strong and powerful, don't hide it. Don't be ashamed of it. It's your manhole. Roca, I have waited a long time to hear someone defend the priest

and the little mermaid. So thank you for doing that. And the castles, and those castles. I mean, Roka. Oh, yeah, yeah. The older we get, we can't avoid it going straight out. It starts to, the 90 degrees starts to go.

Maybe you kids. That's still going. Hey, I'm saying I heard it happens at some point. You know, I get it, but I don't think you should ever be ashamed. Especially if you've got a large package. You should definitely let that thing hang out. Alex, what's next? See that guy over there.

So, hello, S.E. and crew, I have HBO Max, but I watched Godzilla versus Kong in a theater last night with some friends. my screening was nearly full and it was worth watching it on the big screen. Mark any stand-up news for yourself? Outlaw of geek buddies. Love Alex's background. Brett, my favorite uncle. Dwayne always coming with facts.

Ben is for the people. Oh, thank you. Thank you, Black Hawk. Ellis, you have any updates for stand-up? I mean, as soon as Rok and Brett want to let me open for them again, once things are back to normal, then I'll do it. But in the meantime, I do have a tour lined up this summer in a bunch of cities, which is going to be fun. But I have a baby announcement that next Saturday, so not tomorrow, but the Saturday after.

My friend, Eliza and I are having a child. No, we're doing a, we're doing a show together at in Venice Beach called Jam in the Van. It's a really fun outdoor show. So just getting the rest off. And then Eliza is going to be running her new hour. So it's going to be just going to be fun to sort of different. my toe back in the water. What day is that and where can I get tickets? That is Saturday night and you can just look up jam in the van and I'm going to do a post about it tomorrow. So, um, pull a 50 cent and buy

all the tickets and not show up. At this point, I'm more used to that than I am people. So that'll make me feel right at home. You know, people need to give Eliza some more love. Everyone went crazy when Louis C.K. talked about the fact that he comes up with a new hour every year. I remember Chris Rock fell all over himself that that was possible. And Eliza seems to be doing it every six fucking months, man. It's incredible. And it's killer stuff, too. She's just, she is such a hard worker.

And she's just so prolific when she writes. It's just, uh, it's, it's another level. So it's, it's been fun to watch. Is she in that, is she in that hysterical document? It's out on Hulu today. I don't know if she's in that one. I think I looked it up and I thought she was. Okay, cool.

I can't wait to see that even more so. Sorry, Ben, what were you saying? No, it feels like, you know, like Viola Davis, like really gain the weight for Ma Rainey's Black Bottom. And I feel like whenever Christian Bail does it, you know, or Joaquin Phoenix does it. Like, you know, no one can shut up about it, but no one's talking about this. Like that's when I read that, I was like, holy shit, that's insane. And she's already like in crazy good shape for her next movie. It's like, I don't know. It feels like the narrative changes depending on who you talk about. But I didn't know that about Eliza. That's amazing.

Yeah. And you're right about that. Ben. My girlfriend said this to me. She's like, people don't know women have a hard of time losing weight than men do. So if we put on 60 pounds, it's actually scarier for us to lose that weight. especially if you're older. So even more of a shout out to Valadeus were doing that. All right, Alex, what's next? Yeah, you did. Continuing CEDECI over there.

He was watching Godzilla versus Kong in the theater last night with some friends. My screening was nearly full and it was worth watching it on the big screen. As a standalone movie, it works fine. As a franchise, it's inconsistent. Oh, sure. Oh, yeah. Do you think they'll be continuing this franchise? If the box-off is good, hell yes, they will.

Yeah, they had already, like, started filming Godzilla versus Kong when King of the Monsters came out. Because I think if they hadn't, you wouldn't have gotten this movie because that Godzilla, King of the Monsters made nothing. Like, it's already, like, Godzilla versus Kong has already made half of what King of the Monsters came out. And that's with pandemic and everything like that. Like, King of Monsters made nothing. So I would mind seeing another one, but if it doesn't happen, I'm, yeah, okay. International box office really saved this. franchise. Oh yeah. With King of the Monsters especially. Yeah, let's save Schwarzenegger's career

too. All right. What's next, Alex? Tiffany F. says, what's a random thing you've gotten into during the past year? I got addicted to those watching K-pop for the first time videos. Now I think I'm a K-pop fan. Hi, Brett. Hello. I've definitely dabbled in the BTS before. I don't think I'm a K-pop person, but they're they're enjoyable, man. They may they've got some bangers for sure. I will say that. Yeah. I don't know what I've tabled in. I'm the most French new way. Boring person you'd ever meet.

There's literally nothing new that I've done. I make my bed more. Yeah. That's such a good habit though, Mark. That's such a good habit. Like it makes, especially with, you know, me living at this desk and my bed being two feet away.

Like it makes just like your, your Zen room so much just like, eases your mind so much by just making your bed. I'm not roca. I don't have like three offices. a Zen garden A spa A massage room

I bet I'm paying less than you and I got a house So I know I have to make my bed every day Because it's behind me But it's actually bad for me Because I have a dust mite allergy You're supposed to crumple all your stuff in the middle And let the sun come in and kill them

So this is I'm killing myself for you people Send in your schmobots about my bed being made every day I just got into because we're together and we're more home than ever because of everything we got I got into British television and that's what she can't I mean she loves it can't stop watching stuff we're always constantly discovering

stuff and so I've gotten to know so many different actors and writers and directors that I would never probably fucking known about if it hadn't been for the time the downtime we have there's a new the breeders if you guys have watched breeders on FX I can't promote that enough it's fucking excellent

I keep forgetting yes Sheridan that is All you, brother. I mean, all you on so many levels. I wrote it down. That was the one I was last night I could have used it. I got to do it again. Season two just dropped. Duane, anything you got into that's weird that's over the last year?

I've honestly just been able to watch more TV than I was before. Like, before I had no time to watch any television at all. It was all movies all the time. So TV, I guess. Is there a genre that you've enjoyed where you found yourself gravitating to more in terms of TV shows, a genre of TV shows? I guess anime, but anime, I hate calling anime a genre because it's not a genre, it's a media. Whatever you want to call it.

Yeah, I don't get involved with that. But I've watched a lot more anime in the last year that I, like, shows that people have been telling me for years, you got to watch this. And I've just been like, I don't have time. And I've finally been able to catch up on them. Yeah, video Drew was on the outline. show this past week she talked about how she's gotten into anime and i think she's been on with you ben on some of a couple of shows and so she's been like surprised at her uh interest in it and attraction to it and how much

he's enjoyed it so yeah not a bad thing there for sure all right alex what we got next next we got from uh non-spoiler alex did you hear the filippino references and that rap background music in low town from episode three of falcon in the winter soldier anybody know if they had asian pacific Asian slash Pacific writers on board on the show. I was wondering why that rap sounded like I could understand it. I don't speak Tagalog or, so I don't know if that was Filipino. But it sounded Indonesian to me slightly. And I think Madripor is based on an Indonesian city.

So I think that's probably what it is. Singapore, yes. Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. How is that show overall, Falcon Winter Soldier? Worth checking out? We're checking out. You know what. You know what.

But this whole I'm trying to be as uncool as cool as possible. I don't buy it anymore, man. I don't buy it anymore, man. That thing's been out there for you to watch. Because I'm not watching. I'm not watching Disney Plus. Stop watching the 17th round of the NCAA tournament. And you could watch two episodes.

Instead of watching Southeast Louisiana State take on Southeast Arkansas State, for God's sakes. I enjoy watching athletes by their trade. You, on the other hand, enjoy watching British actors, so I'm glad finally white people are getting a chance in your household. It's so nice of you. That's so racist. There are a lot of people of color in British television. I would argue more than there is here. And there's a lot of white people in the NCAA tournament.

Mark. Duke. Ring a bell? They're not in it. They didn't make it this year. For once, the white man didn't make it into the tournament. Mark, I need you to do one thing and one thing only. Stay on a certain website, 24 hours a day, and alert me.

every time there's something that happens. I got you. I know what you're talking about, and I got you. I rescind all my comments. Yes, please, me too. Anyway, all right, Alex, what do we got? Queen for Sutherland says, Brett, missed you on stereo the past couple of days.

Are we still doing stereo shows after S-E-N-Live anymore? I'm going to try to do some. It's just the doing it right afterwards was really, really, like, rough. Like, I was killing it. and also, you know, Christian's availability. So, yeah, I'm going to try to get back in there, but it might be a little bit to do some readjusting and maybe trying to get Kate on board or something, you know.

We're going to do like a whisper show maybe at night. Animal Crossing Whisper. No, no. Yeah, so, yeah, sorry, it's not right now, but working on. Oh, I would love it if you're like just the reaction. I don't know how you guys do that. I asked Alex about this on a stereotype. show, like, does it hurt your voice to, because, like, that could be straining on your voice to whisper that long.

No, it's fine. Oh, you're not, we're not doing Christian Bail Batman. That's a poor. It's Alex. What did you think of this episode? What is you think? Where's the Super Zero? All right.

Mark Campbell's Mephisto, I swear to God. Oh, one quick plug. Also, if you guys haven't watched episode four of Invincible, right, that dropped this morning. Yes. Oh, my God. This show is so good. It's so good. So good.

We're just catching up on the geek buddies. We just dropped our review of the first three episodes. So the fourth one dropped this morning. It got up early to watch it. It is damn good, man. So good. You're not watching this. Get on this show.

All right. Sorry, Alex. Oh, I should. Oh, another thing to plug. If you're starting Invincible, go to the Shmodown, Twitch. last week, Winston A. Marshall Oh, yeah. Mike Kalinowski did a watch along for the first three episodes.

Yes. It's still up on Twitch. So if you want to watch along with them, go watch it. There you go. Real quick, guys. Anybody that lives kind of up in the Valencia area, my 17-year-old nephew just got his license, so be careful out there.

Just going to say. They're vaccinated. You shouldn't be drawn. Alex. Let's move on. Thank you to track stars in the chat saying that the song is from a Filipino rapper named Shanti Dope called Amats, which means drunk slash wasted. Thank you very much for that knowledge. Nice.

All right. Next one from Adrian Bailey. Hi, gentlemen. John, I'm so embarrassed for what happened on Tuesday. My iPhone, my earphones weren't working properly, and then my phone fell down. It was very embarrassing. Hi to Mark, Alex, Brett, Ben, and Dwayne. Much respect to you, lads.

Keep up the good work. Thanks. Thank you. I like being called lad. I like when someone just sees a group of people. They're like, hey, lads. It makes you feel like, oh, okay, teach me something, coach. Yeah.

You know what I don't like, Mark? When they say it's that time of year for grads and dads, fuck you, separate them. I want my own time. Don't lump me with grads. Sorry, that's my big rant for the day. Have you ever got a mug or any sort of memorabilia that says, world's greatest dad. Have you ever been bestowed with that honor? No, no. Somebody bought my wife one that says her name and like wonderful, beautiful, amazing, something like that. And she, she took it home

because she was embarrassed to have it at work because it seems very like, oh, look at me. I'm so super. But I'll drink some tea in it on the show next time. No. I get world's most mediocre dad stuff. I think when my kids get older, they're going to say, you know what? He tried. All right, let's keep going. All right, are we good to talk spoilers from yesterday's inner geekdom match? What do you think? I'm good for that. Okay.

Okay, cool. Dragon 17, warning for everybody here. Dragon 17 says, Roca, what do you feel about Damon now? Yes, he spun Star Wars, but he answered his five and got some steals. You don't get to four and one in IG with just Star Wars. Alex is a beast overall, and I feel people always say he's just. just as the Star Wars guy. Okay.

For one, you can build your credibility all you want down in the lower rounds or in the, with other people in similar knowledge. It's when you climb up to the top and take titles to me. You wake me up when people win titles. That's really what it matters when I come down to in my head. But that being said, four and one is good. Look, Craig studied really, really hard for that match. He was ready for that match and he played well.

And he's still a new, somewhat new IG player, ladies gentlemen. So let's give a little bit of leeway there. as well. The Spider-Man quotes were tough. The Spider-Man questions were a couple. He told us later he had his gut was electro, but he changed his mind. And that can happen in the game sometimes. But yeah, and you've got to prepare for Alex spinning Star Wars. I can't count how many times I spun Westerns in matches. It just comes up. But you've got to be more than that. So we'll see what he does next. If he gets wiped out in the next match, then where is he dead? You know, so we'll see. I certainly showed up and showed out. Congratulations to him. But don't count out Craig. We're

going to put him in the tournament. So he's going to be ready to go by the time. And an angry barbarian is a scary barbarian, ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you. So, but I wholeheartedly disagrees with John's assessment because I feel like the field is so much more crowded than it was in years past. And no disrespect any former champions, but this league is as competitive as it's ever been in each and every division. And so I look at it a lot more like PGA tour golf where, yes, the goal is to win a major. But if you finish top top. 10 top five, you're a great golfer and deserve to be celebrated. Yeah.

Yeah, I really think Alex is already in the Hall of Fame, Rushmore, whatever you want to call it for Schmodeown. Yeah, certainly. But I mean, no, he's, what is he, four and one now in your Gingham? So if he, like I always said, if he gets to a number one contender match, I think he's like in the top. And especially if he beats Mike and goes on to play Mara, like that's huge. And yeah, like, wheel spin is part of the game. Did he spin Star Wars? Yes.

He still had to answer those questions perfectly. And like, I know we just take it for granted that Star Wars, Alex knows everything about Star Wars. He still has to know it. He still has to know the questions that Mark asked. And he had to get those two Spider-Man steals. And he answered a Jurassic Park five-pointer. Like, you still got to know all the levels. And you're coming off of a devastating loss.

Yes. very recently losing a belt. So to be able to put yourself back up on the horse that quickly, very impressive because the Barbarian is great. He's a great player too. Coming down, coming back out from six points down is very impressive. Yeah,

came all the way back. And he hasn't won a championship belt yet either in an inner geekdom. So I guess Roka doesn't know his name. I didn't say to know anybody's name. I appreciate you twisting my words. I just said, wake me up. I said, wake me up when you win a title.

That's when I take you. How many names? How many people do you meet when you're sleeping? I don't know. That's terrible. I don't try to, I'm not trying to denigrate it. I said all kudos to Alex,

all credit to Alex definitely want. I just want to see, I mean, he did the same thing last year in the tournament and then got wiped out in the next round. So I just want to see if he can keep it consistently going. That being said, the steals were massive.

Ben, you're not wrong about that. He knew those answers. And those are a little bit slightly obscure Spider-Man questions. So especially a quote, Spider-Man, because Saul got, Saul spun Spider-Man against

against Humphrey. Those Spider-Man questions cut deep, dude. Like, Barbarian did answer quite a... Yeah, I will give Roca credit because when you do go to his house in San Diego, he makes you speak with a British accent inside or else he kicks you out. And you have to touch four for myself.

O'i, Governor, can I enter and use you, Lou? Get out. Get out. All right, let's move on. But yes, watch that match. Fantastic match. Both sides. Yes. Showed out for sure.

Yep. All right. All right. Haunted says, Duane Roca, do you all have a favorite war movie? And separately, which war movie do you personally think is most accurate?

Thanks. Most accurate would probably have to do the first 30 minutes to save him private Ryan. I think every, I think a lot of people who were there that day spoke about that afterwards. That was the most accurate depiction they'd ever seen at that battle. For me, my favorite will always be apocalypse now.

Because from people that I've spoken to who've been in war, it's that kind of maddening nonsense that you have to deal with all the time. But Duane, please. I am not particularly fond of war movies. Oh, that's why they asked. I think my favorite might be like enemy at the gates. Oh, nice. Go one.

But I think the most realistic, and this is just in my experience, is actually Dunkirk. Um, one of people's biggest complaints about Dunkirk was that you didn't get to know any of the characters. Like someone would die and then you'd instantly move. That's exactly what it's like when you're there. You don't know any of these people outside of the 13 people that you train with on a day-to-day basis before you get there. You don't know anyone else. Everyone else is just a face that you're passing by as you're moving through. Um, so I think Dunkirk is incredibly realistic in that aspect.

And it's one of the things I like the most about the movie actually is that you don't get to know anybody. When you all joined up, do you have that scene like they show in every war movie where you have to go to the barber and get your head shaved? Did you in fact have your head shaved? And did you in fact have a reaction similar to either Dewey Oxberger from Stripes

or Polly Shore from in the Army now? The two most realistic Army. Yeah, yeah. You do have to get your head shaved. And fun fact, Even if you shave your head the night before, they still shave your head. Do you know how many guys? That's a great point you bring up, Dwayne.

How many dudes think they're outsmarting the system by shaving their own heads the night before? And they still march you down there and you still get your hair shaved. It's a way of saying you don't fucking run shit. You go to puke. And those barbers have no mercy. They don't give. They give zero fucks about you and your pants. They just

Yeah. Yep. And they'll cut you. It doesn't fucking matter. That is so inaccurate because I watch the Navy SEAL show with David Boreans and he's got a great head of hair. Yeah. Gomer Pyle had a luxurious head of hair. I don't know.

I mean, that's the most realistic. Kyle. Gomer Pah was not the Marines. Any kind of Marines I've ever seen. But yeah, they march you down. And the thing with me was my hair grows so fast that they have. had to march me down every week to get it shaved, which pissed off my drill sergeant every single time. He would just, he would just berate me the whole walk to getting a cut and berate me all the way back.

It was the worst. For the Marines, the in processing center at boot camp has a barber shop in it. They don't march you. And it's like, it's like a conveyor belt. You go shots, haircut, ID, like grab your like uniforms and like, all that kind of stuff, and you just kind of move through this conveyor belt. And you also have to go every week. Like, everyone goes every week on Sundays to get haircuts.

Oh, okay. Right. And the Army was every two weeks. In the Army, it was every two weeks. But that's also cool. We're a little bit softer. Then Marines. But I would love to see Mark Ellis and the Marines.

That would be just the greatest thing in the world. I applied to work at Old Navy. Well, while I was there, we, uh, we, we took, um, Russell Brand. We had him for about 24 hours. Mark was a soldier for the Banana Republic. And to his credit, he did not complain.

Yeah. It's probably the smartest thing you can do if you're going on involved with that stuff. I just want to see them beat the humor out of Ellis. You're funny? You're thinking funny? All right, Alex, what's next? All right, Dildo Baggins says, hello to Mr. Ellis. What are y'all's thoughts on the Duranda issue with Rappaport?

You all think he has the right to release those DMs? Mark, do you think Lakers will still come out of the West? How about from the East? Nets are stacking up. Love y'all. I'm never in favor of releasing DMs unless it is a criminal investigation or somebody was being harassed. And that's where it gets very murky with this particular situation because there are a lot of strong words going back and forth. And as much as you may not like DMs getting out there in the public, there's a reason why DMs are.

able to get out to the public because you sent them and people can screenshot them. So if you're going to send someone to DM, you should act like that is just going out to the world. I know it's not yet, but you have to act like it is going out into the world. Same thing that every one of us should know when we're in front of a microphone is even if you're on set and they take a break. If you're still miced up, somebody could be recording it. You have got to be smarter about this. If you're you're going to be DMing people trash talk back and forth. So I, you know, I think everybody knocks Kevin Durant for being too sensitive on social media.

And I would just say this, put yourself in Kevin Durant's giant shoes for a day and see how much shit that guy gets. And then come back and tell me if you're just cool with ignoring it. Yeah, agree with you. Plus, both of them are shit talkers. And I think releasing those DMs maybe was a violation of their ballbust. But Rap report claiming that it's the first time. they've ever had any back and forth. That's,

I think that's absolute bullshit. So I think there's, it just, it just, there's, it seems to be two dudes who has seriously had disagreement and one of them out of the other. And we know Durant hasn't, doesn't have the strongest history,

you know, creating those burner phones and those burner accounts to kind of, right after people. It's not the best history. So, but it's social media. And at that level, listen,

I don't care what level you're at, unless maybe you're that dude on Twitch with a million followers. Like, none of us know what it's like to open your DMs and have like thousands and thousands and thousands of people coming after you who've tagged you on it who've added you on stuff and you're just having to see that that can work on you emotionally so you just kind of assume that that people who get that many dms and that many like retweets or comments or whatever you just assume that they don't see any of them because they get so many that's not the case because i could

be playing a comedy club for 20 people or i could be playing a comedy club for 5 000 people in a theater and you still are going to find the two or three people at either show that are not having a good time. You're going to find it. That's just how the world works. Yeah. I tell people also, I also think the Nuggets are going to really contend in the West.

I think the Nuggets could be the team to beat in the Western Conference. They gotta show me something before I believe in the Nuggets, honestly. Oh, okay, but Alex David go four and one. All right, all right, Ben. Yeah. I'm just, I feel like anybody on the Nuggets run that championship belt for a few years? I don't think so. But I think you might be right, Mark,

because I think Aaron Gordon might have been the sneakily best move of the trade. And I think Oladipo might also for Miami. Now that he's got insularly... He can stay healthy. Yeah, if he can stay healthy. But he's inspired by a team that wants to win as opposed to Houston that was tanking

or Indiana that really was never going to go anywhere. Now he can kind of hide out on a good to great team possibly and ply his trade there and do really, really well. So, I think one is just, work one is so scary. Nets are probably going to take it this year, I think. Yeah, I mean, but if they can stay on the court,

they keep taking days off and games off. Which is why they'll be strong in the playoffs. Their top three is obviously amazing with Hardin, Irving, and Durant, but it's like, everyone's like, oh, they got Blake Griffin now. It's like, that's cool. Like, I love Lamarcus Aldridge, and we're going to miss his minutes,

but it's like, come on. Come on, you all. He's 35. Like, they're solid additions, and I think they have a great chance to win it, but it's not like this overwhelming sense of like, oh, no one has a chance now. Like, no, like people are going to figure out how to play them for seven games and they're going to be a series. And no one they picked up is a defender, right? Except for that dude who used to be on Oklahoma City. I can't remember his name right now.

But everyone, I mean, Blake Griffin ain't defending nobody. Lamarcus ain't quick enough to defend people at the level they did in the past. So they've built up defenders. And LeBron has a way of muscling a game with Anthony Davis. If they come back healthy, then I think the Lakers are very, if they get to that finals against the Nets, I would favor the Lakers over the Nets overall because you also got three temperamental superstars. James Harden.

Mildyna Propa Thakeda donated $20. Loving the sausage fest today. My gay hearts are flutter. So who's each other's broke back Mountain Buddy on today's panel. Love everything you guys do. I got Brett, obviously. He's the best cuddler. Sorry, I'll snag.

I'll call dibs real quick. All right. I'll wrap back at you, Ben. I'll take Ellis. I like humor with my partners. Sheridan and Goddard are early contenders because they both make their bed. Imagine that only fans, Ben. We might get that million.

Oh, my God. We'll never see us again. Here's the thing, though. Alex has the power of music at his disposal. The power of music can be very alluring and possibly give me one of those in-public incidents that we talked about 30 minutes ago. So I think Alex would probably be the choice.

You would be my choice to Ellis. Oh, I love when you sing. We can just play with Alex's little ears. Stuff in the place. You'd probably be giggling and stuff. Jesus. We know who Roka wants. Alex Damon.

Yeah. Yeah, I want that ass. Duane, you got to choose. One of the five of us. I'm going with Alex. Alex is the prettiest. We'll just go with Alex. All right.

I agree. Thousand percent. We did it. All right. Let's move on. Oh, and in terms of basketball, all I need to know from anybody, You can tweet at me for any given game. I need to know who you think's going to score the first shot.

It's going to over under. I need things. Just, you know, prop bets. Prop bets that you can might think my head. Uncut gems on us right now. You're shameless. You're shameless. Ellis, I warned him.

I said, stop going down this path, man. Because a month from now, you're going to be like, who made the wood on the court? And what's the temperature inside the state? How many hot dogs were sold at the vending machine? I tried to warn him. He's beyond the point of no return. He's more machine now than man.

That was the most stressful part about uncut gems is that he put the prod bet on who wins the tip off. I was like, oh my God. Oh, please stop. Please stop making these bets. The NFL is going to implement that shit in stadiums now. Oh, you can bet on anything. It's going to be nuts.

All right, Alex, we're two. All right. Teresa's guy says, I still can't believe that Mark knows Eliza. She's the funniest person on this planet. Crazy. Also, thank you, Roca, for recommending breeders on S-E-N. I need something that makes me laugh, but is also very real. It is very real.

All right. James Hardin for MVP says the top two excuses that I hate when people review movies are when people say a movie is too long because their time is so precious. The other is people complaining about human characters in monster movies. What did you expect? An ensemble that will win the SAG Award? Yeah. I disagree. I disagree.

I do want actual human characters in my fucking movie, not Shia LeBuff rip-offs. What do you want the whole movie to be good, you dummies? God. Be happy with just a mediocre bill. I didn't say Millie Bobby Brown versus Godzilla.

It's Godzilla versus Ka. I get the point, obviously, but I don't go into these movies with the humans to be good. And I don't even... Never mind. I don't want to say I'm taking a bunch of... Oh, here it comes. Let's take...

Close it out. Were you about to disdress a park? I've never understood people's love for that movie. Just never get it. Just don't get it. Anyway. What about Jaws? Jaws is a fucking excellent movie.

Jaws is another one where you probably went in for the shark, but you left like, that was a really great drama about three dudes trying to live on a boat together. And then there was a shark, too. Right. Right. But if the shark was punching another shark, you know, we probably get the boats. And a tornado came in. Yes, more!

Do I need to break up all this aggression with Elmo giving dating advice? Oh, yes. Yes, you do it. So, yeah, if somebody's just going to break up with you, you just need to say, listen, I just need to sit you down for about 45 minutes to three hours and ask you 173 questions as to why. And then if they just kind of go away, then you text them and say, hey, hey, you up? What's up? What's up? And if they don't respond, you just keep texting and texting and texting. And eventually, they'll probably come back because women love to be badgered over and over and over again. But, yeah, but you'll just keep calling.

Keep calling and calling and leave lots and lots of really long, desperate messages. Have you ever slid into DMs? Oh, I slid into DMs all the time. And it hasn't worked yet, but I'm going to keep trying. You know, especially Steph's a bra. I'm on board. Everybody slips in there. Great advice to everybody,

because I see all these guys on the show always trying to, you know, get with Steph and it's definitely going to work, guys. It's for her, sure, 100% she's going to date somebody that puts in a comment in this comment section. He can't even do it. I love it. Incredible.

Incredible. All right. We got about, what, two minutes left to the show, Alex. Are we done with the stream labs? We got a bunch from 50. Shades of Geeks, so if you would allow me a minute to burn through these. 50 Shades of Geek says Pixar's

Up told a much better love story in 10 minutes than the entire Twilight saga told in five movies. Changed my mind. Unfortunately, we will do that at another time for these shades because you got more, including if music is just sound waves vibrating, does that mean musicians are human vibrators? I like that.

What hair products did Bruce Willis' character in the fifth element used to get blonde? Die hard. Nice. A better name for a torture chamber is an Abusement Park. I like that. Yep, solid.

Rest in peace, water, you will be missed. Oh, okay, I like that one. I like that one a lot. Don't let other people ruin your day. It's your day. Ruin it yourselves, you lazy bastards. I finally decided to stop thinking about how ugly I am. I'm still ugly, I just don't think about it anymore.

My girlfriend said I should take her somewhere expensive, so I took her to the dentist. Hey-oh. Remind her, I don't have a girlfriend because, I mean, seriously, look at me. Fiddy Shade, stop that. Come on. My friend started choking at a restaurant yesterday and begged me to call him an ambulance, so I called, so I said, okay, you're an ambulance.

Now, can you please stop choking? That's dangerous. I don't like them. That's good. Final one for today. Do you think Billy Elish changes her name to Billy Irish every St. Patrick's Day? Oh, my God. She should.

Yikes. Good stuff in there. Yeah. Mark, don't steal any of that. I'm a big fan of that missed one. You would be missed. All right, what else we got, Alex? That was all for today.

All right, cool. Let's get on out of here. Thank you all so much. Really appreciate it. Thanks for all the Street Lab, Supertats, and Schmovots.
