A little long week, Ken. long weekend. Did a lot of cool stuff as far as shooting stuff, Shmowdown and other things. But, and because of that, I'm actually taking the day off on Monday. I was going to do a live show, but I figure, you know what?

I'm going to talk about the stories that are out there right now. Give you peeps some stuff to talk about and listen to on the Monday, top stories that are kind of going around during the weekend, and we'll get into it. And if you're brand new to the show and you have and check this out,

subscribe, will you? Hit the subscribe button to like the show. all that stuff. All right, we got a lot to talk about. There's a top gun is still crushing it at the box office. And the lowest drop-off in like a long time. If we want to the lowest drop-offs, I think, ever. Disney says they're not going to touch Deadpool 3.

As far as the tone goes, they're not going to mess with it. Some other stuff going on also. There's a bad batch, Star Wars, if they let a launch out. and the back girl directors are confirming that Michael Keaton is indeed going to be part of it. So that and more on the big thing today. It's me. Don't worry. Roxy and Brett, they'll be back.

Steph, Mike, Winston, Coy, doing all the rewatch. It's all happening this week. But I start off with me and you. Okay? So stop fucking around. Let's do it. Or early, depending on when you're watching this. See this?

All right. It is Monday. It's June 6th. It's June already. Isn't that crazy? What the hell of the time go? Think about that the other day. June 6th.

It's pretty nuts. I don't know. I was really wondering and then, you know, things happen. What the fuck was that? What shit? What's wrong with this microphone? Fix it? It's fixed.

Got it. All right. I'm on one today, tonight, whenever. I got to get rid of that coffee machine in the background. Again, for you audio listeners, you know what I'm talking about. There's a coffee machine in the background. And why do I need to get rid of it? Why do you think?

Because it's broken. Otherwise, why would I want to get rid of it? It just sits there like a stupid prop doing nothing. Except collected mold, fungus. Like Kaiser's toes. All right. All right. There's some stuff going on in the world of the movie news. I'll fine. We'll start with Bad Batch. Not what I was going to start with.

But we can do that. If that's what the world is telling me they want me to do. Or my OBS, because I didn't switch anything. This is from the good people over at Dark Horizons. Although I think that Garth Franklin is the only one on Dark Horizons. The only one I ever see writing articles. Good for Garth. Guys busy. See the only one doing stuff? We've been following Dark Horizons for like 10 years. for Mark and I were getting our news forever.

You know, what the hell do you care? You don't give a shit. Disney Plus homepage has been updated to confirm that the second season of the animated series Star Wars, the Bad Batch. Well, that motherfucker is going to launch on the service on September 28th. That's what Garth wrote. No, he didn't. A spinoff of Star Wars, the series follows the adventures of Clone Force 99.

Hunter, Rickard, Echo, and Tech, finding their way around a galaxy under the thumb of Palpatine's Empire. the new season also sees the return of fallen brother crosshair. That's not a really Gary Busey, Emperor. What if Gary Busey was the Emperor? Darth Vader, I need you to do me a favor. Go ahead and I need you to massage the left side of my earlover, where Mace Window almost burned it off from electricity coming out from the power of my fingertips.

That's right. I do not believe in Darth Plague's way to return from the death. I believe that you can come back from the death from a really powerful fart into the microphone in the beginning of a show. Thank you. Dorothy Busey. Anyway, the first trailer of the series debuted a few days ago, Star Wars Celebration, but at the time, all that was revealed was a fall air date. I don't know why they did that.

Dee Bradley Baker stars as the voice as all, as everybody. Michelle Ang plays Omega. And Ria Pearlman is back. is Sid. Yeah, I don't understand why they would do that. I mean, just released the date. It's funny. I have a pretty high score for celebration overall this year. That was pretty good. But there were a couple things I thought were odd. Kethyn Kennedy was given some news about Tycho Watiti's movie on like a press line, no mention of it whatsoever, showing Willow during a Star Wars panel when it should be

same for D23. You show a trailer for a show, but you don't release the date. Those are some of the criticisms, but there was a lot, obviously, if you saw our coverage on it, that we absolutely love.

But as far as Bad Batch goes, I mean, it makes sense. I got a lot of Star Wars shit coming out right now. You've got, you've got, first of all, you got Obi-1. It's going to close up soon. We're coming to episode four.

Sorry, chapter four. Not allowed to say episode four. People got on me on that. Don't say episode four. It confuses us. We can't tell the difference between TV and movies. So make sure you say chapter. Fine.

Chapter. Chapter four is coming up soon. Shit, man. Just a couple days. Then that'll end after chapter six. Some people think it's like a surprise episode or something because there's something Ewan McGregor said. Why would they do that?

I want to just say, hey, there's eight episodes. Anyway, six episodes. It's going to air in June, and then ends right. In July, they've got, you know, whether it's Miss Marvel and, although that starts in June also, but it's going to carry into July. Then you cross over with She-Hulk, which is August, and then Andor starts. Andor is going to be longer, it's like 12 episodes. So that's going to take you into November.

but now you've got Bad Batch will also cross over with Andor so that's your Star Wars stuff because they announced that Mandalorian's not coming out until February and what they say for Asoka in like August or some shit I don't remember when they did it's somewhere sometime in 2020 and then Ackleight so you got three shows happening Star Wars already and maybe Bad Batch season four who knows or season three, who knows. But. It's so funny. It's a bummer, though.

It's a bummer that there's already, you know, this kind of silly fighting going on again with Star Wars. It was like too soon to be true, too good to be true. After a Mandalorian, where it seems everybody was on the same page, people start to fight with each other a little bit over Bobafet, but now it's like that infighting thing again. I told you that last show, maybe you didn't see it.

I don't, I don't care. let people fight and see people like it just it's such a different headspace than i was years ago i see people people come in here to you know talk some shit or you know throwing words around and doing all like i i just don't have time you just get people out of your life as fast as possible get rid of them um and look you can you're allowed to dislike what you dislike you're allowed to enjoy what you enjoy but i think that should be yours you shouldn't force well If you love something, you shouldn't tell people why they should love it, and they're wrong if they don't love it.

The same thing. So I'm enjoying the show. There's a bunch of stuff about the Obi-Won show that I'm not a massive fan of. One of those things, there's some questions people ask later. I don't know if I'm going to get to them, so I'll just get to it. If we repeat it, I apologize. I don't love the music right now in Obi-W-1. I mean, the theme, the main theme's pretty good.

I was talking about this with a bunch of people. Um, it's not that I disliked the music. I thought Kevin Kiner from Clone Wars and, and Rebels did it right. He was, he didn't seem like every other composer that takes on Star Wars seems like they, they want to set themselves so far apart from John Williams because hey, it's John Williams and they want to respect it.

They get it, but they want to, they want to separate themselves and make sure that it's so different that it takes away from, from Star Wars, I think. Like Kevin Kiner did it great. He had his own unique takes and, his own themes that he came up with,

and then he would combine it with classic themes. And you would hear throughout rebels, you'd hear so many different of the classic themes, but then it would be combined with his stuff. And you got a little of that with Ludwig, although he came up with a bunch of things that you remember now. And remember, when he started that theme for Mandalorian, people were like, oh, it just sounds like Rocky or Creed or something, though, too.

And it definitely has those themes, but then you got used to it. And it works. but I still think that the Luke stuff would have fit better if you would have tied in the classic like force theme and stuff. And they stray away from it. I don't understand why they do that so much. And it's happening a lot in Obi-One. There was spoilers for people who didn't see episode three,

or chapter three, so I'm going to spoil it. But I think you have way more of an impact on this episode and is as great as it was if you put the imperial theme for Vader. I don't know why. they didn't do that. Maybe they do it later on. I don't know. But again, trying to separate it.

It's not like they don't have the rights for it. I thought that was a, that's the one, one big blunder of the series is the music so far. But the series itself, I really like, I mean, there's a lot of great performances,

it's things that are, the third one I thought was fantastic, it was stuff I've always wanted to see. Yeah, I think that people are, harping on the, why I baited and jump through the fire and all that stuff too.

I'm looking at more so in the original trilogy stuff. He couldn't do super leaps and catch people. Remember in episode four, the blast door closes on him. Why didn't he open the blast door? Nobody talks about that. Blast door closes. Why isn't he just zoom it open with the force? It's more so the original trilogy stuff.

So, you know, again, you can ask questions. It's part of it. So anyway, Bad Batch coming out when it comes out in, what the hell they say? September 28th. A lot of stuff coming out, man. And I think around the same time, Black Adam, comes out, some good stuff. I'll tell you,

but I'm not excited for anymore. I'm hearing really bad things about this Jurassic world, Dominion. I'm going to see it tomorrow. I can't do a, I think I have a social reaction. I can do an out-of-the-the-the-the-the-the-the-the-the-the-reaction, like tomorrow night, or I guess tonight, and you guys are watching this,

can do it tonight. But I'm hearing not good things. We'll see. Don't know. and hear rumblings, rumors, nothing official. There's no embargoes out. I mean, excuse me, there's embargoes. There's no social, just hearing things that it might not be good.

Nothing official. So I'm hoping that some of the people I heard from are not necessarily people I'm usually on the same page with. So maybe it's not true. And again, they couldn't really say anything. So we'll see. Seeing it. I'll have my reaction out tonight.

I did tell you, I'm really worried that the thing is two hours. hours and 45 minutes or 40 minutes whatever it is that's too long for that movie it's not it's too long I'm sitting in that movie at 240 oh shouldn't be dreading that already we'll see I'm gonna I was so psyched for that movie I'm still gonna I'm still going in optimistic I'm still going in optimistic I'm telling myself that and I'm also going to see light year this this week that's exciting excited for that one you're good things about that from people that saw it at uh what the was it, CinemaCon. I gotta get myself to CinemaCon. It's one thing.

It's not proposing anything. She's just saying that I should go to CinemaCon. Do me a favor, please? What? Get out of here. I don't... Get out of here, man. Shit! It's not time to go. It just started the freaking show. No, it's not that. He needs some milk. I might. I need some coffee, but it's too late.

Anyway. All right, what's next? You did Bad Batch. We did Bad Batch, so we'll do now. We'll do Batman. Bat girls. It's not Bat girls, you fucking asshole. It's a back girl.

Director confirmed Michael Keaton. People have been talking about it, and it's been known for many months that this guy was going to be in this movie. But the filmmakers just said, ah, the hell was it, the leaks in everybody. Let's just talk about it. The filmmakers of the upcoming Batgirl,

they confirmed that Keaton's back. Speaking with the insider, Not the Insider, Insider. Director is Adiel L. Arby and Ballal Flaah discussed the casting with Flaas saying, The OG Batman, he's in the movie. Keaton is reprising his role for both the Backgirl and the upcoming The Flash movie. The latter is currently slated for a mid-2020-3 release. Now the big question is, will Backgirl come out first?

Filming on both titles is already complete with both in post-production. The Flash's move released dates several times. Well, Backgirl, there is no date yet for this one. L. Arby tells the outlet it's not clear when their film's going to open. We don't know when the back girl's coming out. Nobody told us nothing. They didn't say that. Well, he kind of said that.

He said no one told us nothing about tweaks, just to carry on. The comments come in the wake of Variety's piece this week that says that Warner's is still proceedings as usual in regards to the flash. And no plans to reshoot or dump it directly to HBO Max. L.R.B. and Falun, who directed HBO's, nope, no one says that. Who directed bad boys for life. Helms several episodes of the upcoming Miss Marvel series, which launches on Disney Plus on June 8th. So speaking to Miss Marvel,

I'm going to have my episode one and two spoiler review out tomorrow, tomorrow morning. You can do social thoughts, so I guess this is a social thought. It's exactly what I thought it was going to be. It's a cute show for 10 to 15-year-olds with a good style in the realm of Scott Pilgrim with amazing performance. and the lead actress is awesome with tremendous energy. So more on that tomorrow.

But as far as, and directing is really well done. So it's exciting that they're going to be doing back girl. The interesting conversation, though, starts to tie into more so about the flash and backgirl and when it's coming out. And also the conversation starts to go in. well, when does, when, what happens in the timeline first? And how does it blend in? Because if they're going to release back, I mean, obviously, if they, if the flash introduces Keaton back into the DC universe for the first time,

you're going to have to release that one first. And for people wondering whether or not even asking the question, if they were going to dump it on to HBO Max or, or reshoot it or reshoot it or that, that's obviously because all the Ezra Miller problems or why they would do that in the first place. the smart move to do is obviously mark it around Keaton right now and how much he's in it and you mark it around him and it's his first return from the character since what 92 when he played it in Batman Returns and now he's coming back so you try to and after the success of Spider-Man No Way Home and take that shot so I understand why they're still going to release it. The question is where they go farther on with the with the process of

the flash of what they're going to do moving forward with Ezra Miller, if anything. So. But the confirmation, again, I don't know why you don't confirm. You confirm there right away. If it's leaking and then everybody kind of knows it's coming out, you confirm it. And I guess it's even more of the conversation. What comes out first? What do you guys think comes out first?

Back girl or the flash. But wouldn't it make sense that it would kind of have to be the flash. If they're still planning on doing it, the way that they're going to do it, unless they're going to dump it, which I don't think they're going to do. It's confusing right now.

It's confusing. And then there's reports and rumors that Henry Cavill is, I guess they've kind of redesigned since the new takeover from, was it, Zavlov, whatever the guy's name is? Since he came into play, it looks like Henry Cavill's being talked about again. They really want to do a Spider-Man,

a Superman movie with him again, which is a very smart move. That's something I want to see. I mean, it's something a lot of people want to see. I don't really think he got a chance to do anything past Man of Steel, really. I mean, he gets to, you know, maybe Superman and all that, but it was like they got, it was so bizarre. I love Man of Steel.

I know that it's kind of split from a lot of people, but I love Manist Steel. And it didn't maybe hit the numbers at the time that they wanted it to, so they pulled back on it and then went straight to Batman, where I still think that was an error. I think they should have done a separate Batman film with Affleck, then done another Superman with Cavill, and then gone into Batman be Superman.

I think that would have been more beneficial. But nonetheless, Henry Cavill was a great Superman. He got that, he has that look, that feeling. I think that the fans really want to see him back. So if that is the case, let's bring him back. Let's do it. I'm down. How about you guys?

What do you feel about it? Let me know. I definitely want to know. As I mentioned before, story blocks helps not only the show out, it helps you guys out, especially if you're a video creator.

I know there are some people who told me that they tried it out and they checked it out and they like what they're doing. So do it. And let me know. Awesome.

All right. So Batman, we got that. Scream, man. so scream's doing another one and why wouldn't they the last one did pretty well made some money right so now they're they're adding uh dermot moroni to the cast of scream the new one when i saw that somewhere just sworn i saw durman obviously i pulled the picture of it where the hell is he dermot moroni joins the next scream so when is that going to happen i probably we're probably going to what, release in, let's see, he reportedly closed a deal to join the cast of the

sixth scream. Holy crap, six of this. Featuring in Spine Glass Media and Paramount Pictures. He joins Returnees Melissa Barrera, Jasmine Savoy Brown, Mason Gooding, Jenna Ortega, and Hayden Pantieri was returning in the new outing which suits this summer. The new film continues on from this year's fifth install, which grossed 140 million worldwide. That doesn't sound like a lot. Probably didn't cost much to make, did it? The story sees the four survivors of the ghost-faced killings as they leave Woodsboro behind and start a fresh chapter. James Vanderbilt and Guy Busek are back as writers while Matt Patina Lee Alpin and Tyler Gillett return his directors. I say this lovingly.

I don't give a shit about Scream. I know, and it's funny, when you go to my mostly anticipated of the year, I think it was like number 10. I take that back. I just, people were raving about this last one, raving about it. And it's not bad. It was just stupid, in my opinion. And I realized that maybe it's just the first one is for me. And that's it.

The other ones, every one since I just thought it's like, okay. But I'll keep watching them. And I'm entertained when I watched them. But they're stupid. And, well, why are they stupid? And stop answering this question with, well, so there's something that happens in screaming. This is a spoiler for people, the last one. Something happens in the hospital and ghost faces running around chasing people in the hospital.

And there's no cops around. There's no hospital workers. There's nobody. There's no, there's no patients. There's nobody except the kids running around and goes. face while all the cops are out helping the the murder that happened on in broad daylight when ghost face is walking around on the street and broad daylight in the middle of the street that's part one don't don't give me excuses for the movie if you like it it's fantastic I'm so happy for you

um but yeah I just thought it was a stupid movie but I enjoyed watching the prediction of the killer in that last one I mean how predictable is that so that's the thing is these things are predictable. So they're doing a new one. And I guess I let me check the box office on this thing. Box office on what the hell. It was just called Scream. The hell they're going to call this one. Let's see. This one is this one. It doesn't say what the budget is. I mean 140 worldwide as we said. Scream 2020 budget. Scream 2022 budget was oh 24 million. It's okay. So I made a lot of money. I made a lot of money. $24 million and you make $140 million worldwide?

Okay. I got you. So I understand why they're making it. And I also acknowledge the fact that a lot of people love the last movie. And I had a few people that I talked to about. They really enjoyed it a lot. So there you go. What do you guys feel about it?

Did you like the last one? You can see this one? What do you think? Let me know. Something I am going to see again. Oh, yeah. Top Gun. This thing is destroying at the box office. Listen to this.

Paramount's Top Gun Maverick has now made $548.6 million at the box office in two weekends. The conversation about a billion is pretty much guaranteed at this point. That's not in the article. that's just that's just me. The second week in drop-off numbers have been so low as to be truly remarkable. The film's offshore second week haul fell to just 20% to 81.7 million. Well, domestically, it's coming in ahead of expectations with a fall of just 32% to 86 million. That is the lowest domestic second weekend drop ever of any film opening above 100 million.

In other Western markets, it's doing even better. In the UK, it felt just 12%. In Australia, it felt it just six. The film will shortly face competition with Jurassic. World Dominion, which opened this weekend in 15 smaller markets, including Korea, Mexico, and various South American countries. Dominia is on track to taking 55 million through Sunday, and in Mexico, it is coming over 40% ahead of the debut of the two prior Jurassic World films.

The new Jurassic opens around much of the world, including the states, this coming weekend, expected to join his two predecessors with over a one billion box office hall each. I don't know about that as far as Jurassic goes. He's going to have a big opening. I'm telling you, there's chatter already, man. There's chatter. The chatter for Maverick was great a month and a half, two months ago, and people were watching it, and it delivered.

And word of mouth, this can continue to help it, and it's not two hours and 40 minutes. I think that the drop-all, I don't know, I got to see. It is silly for me to start to condemn a movie that I haven't seen. I hate when people do it, and I'm not going to do it. I just feel something in the air, and I hope I'm wrong. I'm going to see you tomorrow. I'm going to have my reaction, my theater, out of the theater reaction up tomorrow night,

and I hope that I can look into the camera and tell you guys I was wrong. I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong. This movie's awesome, and it's a lot of fun and go see it. That's what I'm hoping. I just got a feeling. And if that is the case, I think Maverick holds strong. And I think Maverick takes it out overall. Maverick right now at what the hell is it made so far?

548 billion, whatever? Billion. Yeah, that's what it made. Million. That's incredible. That is incredible. Because I don't think people expected it to do this kind. And this clearly, it's $548 million so far.

the domestic opening of $126 million. What was Top Gun Maverick budget? Top Gun Maverick budget was, wow, that is an expensive movie. $170 million to make that movie? Wow. That's expensive. Geez.

I mean, it's obviously a big hit, but, dude, that's a lot of money. I think budgets, I mean, again, this budget was made before the pandemic. But budgets of movies are too much right now. And it's too much of a risk. Unless you're like DC or Marvel or Star Wars, it's too much of a risk to spend,

I mean, Top Gun, I mean, obviously paid off, but that's when the budgets were still, they were still handed out in Paramount needed something. So clearly, when you have Tom Cruise that knows what he's doing in this particular thing, I think Top Gun Maverick overall, beats Jurassic World.

And I want to see Jurassic World, but I'm going to come back on the show on Thursday. Because Wednesday we have our Sith Council. Then Thursday we'll come back for another big thing with Roxy and Brett. And I am going to re-give my thoughts on whether or not I think that Jurassic World is going to make a billion dollars. We'll see about that one. But I'm excited for Top Gun Maverick. It's to me, it's haven't met too many people who haven't liked it. I think there's like a few people, and even this weekend,

I was talking to someone who I feel sometimes just wants to go against the grain, to go against the grain. But most people I talk to love the movie. I think it's a fantastic film. One of the best movies I've seen in a very long time. So check it out if you haven't seen it. And that's the other thing is that there's a lot of repeat business for that movie, which I think is going to carry it over a lot of other movies,

a lot of other films. So Top Gun Maverick. I Am Groot. What the hell is this? It's a TV show, obviously. A little comedy shows. Disney Plus announced a premiere date for Marvel Studios, Bruce, I Am Groot, original shorts based on Gardens of the Galaxy's franchise.

Guardians of the Galaxy franchise. Each follows Baby Groot's Glory Days growing up and getting into trouble. Series is created by Ryan Little, who serves as a head writer with Kirste, in Leport and she's directing. I'm Groot comes ahead of the James Gunn directed Guardians holiday special. It's good for kids. I don't know. I don't know what the hell's happened on me recently.

I watch all this stuff and I, and there's a lot of stuff that I like. I just, and it's funny because even like Wanda Vision, when they put the trailer out, I was like, I don't know. And then I ended up liking it. I liked Moon Night. I saw Shung Chi. way too late because there was too much hype on that movie and I I I, to me, I feel that

movie's overrated. It feels good. I think it's a good movie. I just feel it's a little overrated. But I haven't been, have I been like really, I mean, Moon Night episode five I was wowed by. It was the last piece of, and I guess no way home was a lot of fun. But I haven't really been wowed by a Marvel thing in a bit. I've enjoyed Loki. I enjoyed Loki. I enjoyed Loki. Um, but I think right now, I still think the Batman is the best superhero movie piece of content right now that has come out. I would say, right? The other thing, yeah, Dr. Strange didn't love it.

Um, am I missing something? Probably am. Again, Moon Night episode five, I loved. Uh, da-da-da-da-da. Yeah, I think that's it for right now. Uh, this group thing? Yeah, if it's fine. I'll check it out for sure.

Oh yeah, Peacemaker. Peacemaker, that was still the beginning of each year. Those are the two things I thought were the best so far. And then Wanda Vision and Loki are up there. Something I was going to talk about before. A few more questions. There anything else that I want to talk about news-wise? Nah.

Oh, yeah, Deadpool. Let's talk about this Deadpool thing. And then we'll move on to this other topic I wanted to bring up. But Disney Plus, Disney says they're not going to impact Deadpool 3's tone. Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, the duo behind the previous Deadpool movies at 20th Century Fox, want to reassure fans that the third won't pull any punches.

Both scribes are working on a third entry for Sean Levy, who did Fregey, with the project making the first to be made under the ownership of Disney. And speaking with the Hollywood reporter, Wernick says, Deadpool is going to be Deadpool. While Reese explains there are no plans to make the tone more family-friendly. They've been very supportive with regard to that. And when it comes to a particular joke,

if we cross a line, maybe we will hear it at some point. But maybe not that joke. But I think that they've been incredibly supportive on what we're doing because, obviously, we were doing it and a separate from them for a long time. And I think they've seen the success and they've had their own even greater success. So hopefully it'll be a marriage made in heaven. But we've got their support, and that's a great thing to feel. Reese also says we're absolutely, absolutely finding the serendipity and the gold in terms of now being set up at Disney,

but won't go into any story details. The pair penned the upcoming Chris Hemsworth-led Thriller Spiderhead, hits Netflix this month. All right, so that should be reassuring to people because I'm sure once they heard that, you know, when Fox was bought by Disney, people were losing their minds thinking, well, what the hell's going to happen now with Deadpool?

It's going to turn into PG-13, be a little more X-Men, be a little darker, but not the way that it was. And they're reassuring you, and they're saying, nope, it's going to be exactly the same. The reason why I think that they even, And those conversations that were happening must have been happening like earlier on. That's why you get like the code inside of when you go to Disney now and you can get Daredevil and all these things.

I think they're starting to prep more when they bought Fox to say, hey, we got to be able to expand. Now the question is, are you going to see the Disney logo in front of it? Or is it just going to be Marvel or MCU or whatever? or is it just going to be like they've done for other movies, whether it's like Avatar and everything too, maybe more so of a different banner, a different brand

that they're going to do when they release it? I don't think you put Disney on it. And not for the protection of the brand, I think for the idea of when someone's sitting in a theater, it's off-putting for someone who's ready to see, because you think about the stuff that has happened in Deadpool, and you see that Disney thing pop up? I don't think you see a Disney logo pop up.

And I do believe that they're going to, you can't make that kind of announcement and that it's family friendly. And you're asking for, it's a recipe for disaster not to do that. So I do think that it'll be the same. And I think Sean Levy is going to make a great movie. I think he's a really, really good director.

He's been making some great stuff lately. And I believe he dissed the Adam Project with Reynolds as well. All right. thing I wanted to talk about, well, as I talked about Obi-Wan before, and I talk about Stranger Things. I'm,

I'm like, I will do a review for Stranger Things. It's like season four, a season four, season four, but episode four, I'm on right now. And when I finish,

I'll, I'll review the episodes that I've seen, obviously. It's just, I'm not doing the binging. It's not possible for me. And I do think the Netflix needs to,

I know, I know how many people love it, and I know how many people love the idea that you can just go right through it. I think, and I've mentioned this before, I was the opposite of this many times over. I think it would help the Netflix shows if they started releasing them out weekly,

like the way that HBO Max and Disney Plus does. I think it'll keep the conversation, I keep their shows in the conversation. People aren't even talking about stranger things as much anymore. Some people are. Like, you know, and I think that less people are doing the binge thing.

I was surprised with how many people this weekend when I was talking to people about stranger things and I was expecting everybody would be like, oh yeah, I like the season. They're like, yeah, I'm on episode three. I'm on episode four. We just finished episode two. Nobody's binging anymore, at least the people that I'm talking to. There's too much crap on. There's too much stuff on TV.

There's too much stuff to watch. There's too many, when Stranger Things was coming out back in the day, the streaming wars hadn't really begun. And so I think they should switch it up. I think that'll help their shows. I think it'll get more people talking about if it's week to week to week for Stranger Things or any of their shows. I think that'll help more. But either way, I know there's a lot of people who don't agree with me.

I know that a lot of people love to binge it and just have it there and be able to instead of, like I said, people who are watching it but they want to watch one a day. They don't have to wait a week. And I understand that. But what I will say, as far as quality, overall, I can't be, I can't just put on Star Wars blinders because I'm a Star Wars fan. Stranger Things is a better made show, I think, at the moment. I really do. I think the writing's

better. I think that there's, there's just, it's, it's better. I enjoy Obi-Wan more because I'm more invested in Star Wars. But I think overall, Strange Things is a better show. It's just there's It promised to be a movie, and it feels like a movie. Obi-Wan feels like TV sometimes. It does. There's times it feels like a movie, but there's times it feels like TV. And everybody talks about that scene in episode one in the chase scene in the woods. It's terrible.

It's a terrible scene. It's the only part of the episode I really didn't like a lot. Because it felt like television, and it was silly. I can, if my four-year-old was in the room right now, maybe my 10-year-old, she ran now, I still, I can't run for shit and I can still catch both of them easily. But the stranger things is creepy this year. It's definitely more of the horror tone. My wife was like, no, I can't do it too much horror for me.

But I was like, you're on your own and this one because I'm watching it. I'm digging what I'm seeing so far. And I'm enjoying the mystery of it. I'm enjoying the brutality of it, to be honest. But yeah, it's interesting. I'm very curious to where you guys stand on this with Netflix and Disney Plus and the streaming aspect is, excuse me, the binging as opposed to week to week, the quality overall, what show you're enjoying more.

Do you think that people are still talking about stranger things? I don't hear anybody talking about it anymore because I think it came out. did the big drop and the same thing with Ozarks is another one. Ozark people talked about for like two seconds and then it was gone. And everybody was like, hey, did you watch it? Do you review it? If I were, it was like, do you review it now? Six people would watch if I reviewed it now.

The spoiler review. So it's like it's the bin, I think the binging thing is a problem for them. But again, I am prepared for the argument. So please comment below and let's have a conversation about it. All right. Let's try to finish it up here with a couple of questions. Victor Vargas, was the music a problem for you in Konobi so far? To me, it's been a big problem. Three episodes into it, not one memorable music piece.

Yeah, it's my biggest critique so far. I don't know why they stray so far away from it to try to get away and make their own thing. I get when a composer wants to try to do that, but if you're taking on Obi-1-Kinobi set nine years before the original trilogy, put some original themes in it, especially when Vader's show. shows up. I don't, I don't understand the reasoning behind it at all. Concord 327, can we get William Zapka and Ralph Macho for an exhibition Shmodeham match? It would be amazing. It's funny you say that. I wish I had those pictures on me right now. I don't have them. I don't have mommy. I left them in. I haven't really

talked about it. You know, so I, I moderated, for Netflix as a joke, I moderated the panel for Cobra Chi. John Horowitz, Hayden Schlossberg, and Josh Heald were very kind to recommend me to Netflix to moderate the panel for the new season. And I did just that. So when I got there, Netflix was really was great. They had a car come get me and they brought me to the arena and I got there and it was in downtown L.A. I was an event for all the fans being there and they were you know

I came out and I looked in the the band who plays the music inside of the score really nice people they were kind of testing they were getting ready and I was kind of walking and getting ready to see what I was going to say

and looking at the seats and it felt very Shmodeown-esque and then I had my cards to know where I was going to do and then they showed the trailer I got to see the trailer before anybody saw it that was really cool and then I started to meet the cast

and it's funny because my buddy Brett Ernst who plays Cousin Louis on the show. Like Brett, I've told this story before, but Brett Ernst was the guy who recommended me to become a regular at the comedy store. I was performing many times over in Los Angeles, and Brett and I had crossed past many times, and he and I just kind of hit it off. I mean, he was Jersey and Florida, and I obviously went to school in Florida State and

being from New York, and we hit it off. And I remember I used to perform at this place called Dublin's in Los Angeles a lot. And Brett Ernst wanted to call me up. And he's like, he's like, yo, listen, I got, I have a, I don't know if they'd still do it the same way at the comedy store with when it comes to how made a regular or recommended. I'm not sure. This is when the great Mitsy Shore was still alive. And she was still passing people to get them in. He said, look, I have, as a regular, I get to make a recommendation.

and I'm recommending you and I think it was one or two other people that he was allowed to. I can't remember. So, or maybe it was in Jen. I can't remember how it worked. But anyway, I went through the process. I've told the story many times over and it was because of Brett who got me into the club.

And obviously I had to perform and work hard in order to get made there. But I did. And it was because of Brett. And it was really great to see Brett doing well. And I hung out with Brett quite often, quite a lot when I was there. And we talked and bullshit. And he was with Dan Dute,

who also plays the other car salesman at LaRuso, and he was a really great guy too. So we had a lot of great conversations. I talked to a lot of the cast, finally met Williams-Avka, who I never had met before. And it was pretty surreal because for me, and I'll tell you, though, the person I got along with the most,

not including the creators who have become closer with, but the person I got along with the most, that day was Ralph, Machia. And we were talking, we were bullshitting a lot behind the stage and we're talking about, he's a big Met fan, but I'm a big Yankee fan. We were just talking in general about that. And he remembered coming on to Collider Live and us having conversations. And I got to bring him and Zabka out together. And they were kind of face to face and we had this whole conversation. And I talked to them for like 10 or 15 minutes before I brought more of the cast out and the actor who played

who played Robbie and Daniel's kids came out. And, I mean, a bunch, a bunch of the cast. I was just going to take me forever to go through everybody that was there. But it was really fantastic. And to answer this question that came up, they played a trivia game with, it was Cobra Chi trivia. And I was watching it. I'm like, oh, man, there is so much competitive fire here with this cast.

that I could see us doing like a schmodeown slash like all valley schmodeown with Laruso and Johnny and Terry Silver kind of all representing different parts of the dojo for the dojoes for the for the trivia and then bringing in fans to come check it out. I think it'd be wild. So I'd love to do it. I wouldn't want to do it in the studio. I'd want to do it live. I think it'd be fantastic.

So I'm talking to people. Talking. We'll see. All right. Moving on for that one. Adro, if you shave your head, do you have to go to sleep or is a negotiable? I think it just depends on where you are in your process. Seriously, though, not a question.

Just a thank you for all the great content over the years. Well, thank you, Andrew. I appreciate that. I've been following for over a decade now, making me feel old. And you're one of the only channels I never get sick of. Give me time. Peace and love from Australia. Thank you. That's very kind to you.

I really is. I always appreciate these nice text or text comments that I get. I met a lot of great people at celebration who said similar things and I'm always kind of taken aback by it so I appreciate that very much. Thank you. Diana Green

Nimlau. Oh, so much to say. Thank you for the Shmona. Well, thank you so much. I have listened to so many matches while driving to treatments and appointments. Now Titans as a much seat for me each week. Thank you. keeping up and really enjoying the reboot, even the turn is going to be a fun take on characters, but still great trivia. Kevin, the Smashers Metz is such a great example of tenacity, not the goat, but such a gracious competitor.

Thank you. Any advice for my husband and I, we want to start a podcast that reviews movies and that marketed for children. I love that. You know, review the movie, but then give practical advice for age levels we believe are appropriate. I love that so much. I appreciate you and your creativity and your talent.

Well, Diana, thank you so much. That is very kind, again. and a fantastic idea. I love the fact that you want to do reviews and movies marketed for children. Clearly not my show. You heard some of my filthy language and juvenile behavior on this very show today. I cringe when my 10-year-old told me that her teacher subscribe to the channel. All right.

That's going to be an interesting parent conference teacher. and the next time we, conference, next time we go into that one. Thank goodness. She'll only about a week left. Anyway. So, yeah,

listen, advice, as far as advice goes, it's kind of cliche at this point. And it is really my answer. When people ask me that question, it's you have to just believe in what you're doing. You have to want to do it because you enjoy doing it.

And you can't do it. for the idea that you're going to make a big amount of money, that you're going to have a big audience right away. It's like you've got to be able to deal with the idea that you might just be doing a show in front of 10 to 15 people for a long time. And that's okay if you're enjoying doing it and you having fun doing it and you're commenting back and talking to those people. And hearing myself say this,

it's essentially how the big thing, was built because SEM Live was essentially, was essentially built because Collider Live was coming to an end for me and I didn't want to stop doing a daily talk show because that's the idea that I brought there anyway and it's what I was doing.

Collider Live was my idea and I wanted to do it like that. It worked and I didn't want to stop doing it. So the problem was that I didn't have the budget to pay people, like I did it Collider, or like they did it Collider, to keep people on to come back every day,

so I had to come up with a new idea. So I, you know, I did that Schmobot thing and had the robot to keep donations, and it kept the show thriving for a while, but the problem is it hurt the content of the show. And where all this comes back to the question you asked is that eventually I didn't love it anymore, and I didn't like doing it anymore,

because it didn't feel like a show that I was doing anymore, I was talking anymore. I was just doing donations and trying to figure fun ways for the audience to feel like they were involved enough that they wanted to donate to get some stupid impressions and other things too because they felt like they were getting something for their bang for their buck. But it turned into more of like, you know, it turned into more of like a telethon. And I felt it at the end. And I wasn't loving it.

So I had to shift and pivot and then realize that while moving on to a channel that was smaller, I think when we moved everything to this channel, there was like 6,000 subscribers or something at the time. And I had to realize in a sacrifice that the big thing was not going to be the same thing. Like when we started SCN Live, the numbers I think were anywhere between 20 to 40,000 viewers and episode. And I had to take the realization that that number was going to be hit tremendously and that I'd have to build it back up and I'd have to try again and get, you know, more people to

start finding it and do more things and find and do short content and continuously try to improve it and learn new things and listen to the audience and that is the true of 6,000 subscribers as much as it's to 16 subscribers so when you're doing your show and you're trying to do your show and you're starting it out with your husband um find out what you like what you're doing what you enjoy doing what you think that the audience that is found it enjoys. Ask them, talk to them, respond to them, have those conversations. And I believe that that's the greatest measure of success and just put all your effort into it and try to improve. I mean, look, I'm not, I am no, by no means a tech wizard.

I am the opposite of that. But I've been teaching myself things, you know, on OBS and like trying to get the lighting better and the quality better. the longest time, if you've been watching this show, I had the two damn black bars on the side screen of this thing forever. And I finally just figured out how to fix it myself. And it looks better. I think it looks better. I hope it looks better. Quality people tell me it looks better. But it's like you're always evolving and changing. So hopefully that helps. I hope that helps you. And I hope that helps your husband. And I wish your show nothing but success. And I wish you guys nothing but success. This entire weekend has been a lot of fun. Now, I hope the week is wonderful.

Um, fun things coming up for us, as I mentioned, for people who are watching Friday Night Titans. There's a lot of people. I will be honest with a bunch of people, um, that it's funny. We're just having this conversation, um, with a bunch of people today. And they were all in agreement saying the same thing of how there is no doubt. And whether it was Jen Sturger and, and, uh, just throwing names out there that people I was talking to, Andrew Guy, for other people, we're all in agreement that hands down. This is the best season we've ever done to Shum.

down, hands down. Way better. Even if you were watching back in 2016, 2017, when, you know, we're on Collider doing all that stuff, yeah, there were some great matches and everything, too, but we're making a full-on television show now and you can feel it and the energy of how it is. And it's, it's a bummer because, like, I think a lot of people don't, like, whether the digital age or whatever it might be, that's a show, I believe that should have 100, 200, 300,000 views episode when you look at the uh the quality and the the content that is coming out of that show now and even looking at that scene we just did with mike and and ben bateman over the weekend it was so great and um and it's also you know it's a bummer sometimes as i mentioned when i was looking

at uh i don't really look at i decided mental health wise and being completely honestly i don't look at comments anymore with schmo down i don't look at uh after shows and and uh threads and all this stuff i just it just can't do it um But what I will say from what I heard from people, but people give you one thing for people who are paying attention to Smodown, the wondering of, well, why is Ben Bainton playing Kalanowski next for the title?

And they're not. It's going to be something else completely. So take it easy. Your fucking complaints. And that's it. That's it. That's the show. So I hope you had a wonderful,

wonderful, wonderful weekend. And I hope you have a great week. and I cannot wait to see you on Wednesday. Well, tomorrow, tomorrow also. I'm going to be doing the Ms. Marvel thing. I got my ad of the theater reaction coming out tonight for Jurassic World. Lightyear reviews coming up soon. Sith Council, Obi-1, Chapter 4 coming up.

So there's a lot going on this weekend, man. So stick me with me. And if you haven't done it already, subscribe to the channel. and please, please, please, please, do not forget to, whether it is Spotify or Apple Podcasts, anywhere podcasts are found, please go over there and check it out. And we have shirts on the store right now, also in the description, that Big Thing shirt, we've got the Sith Council shirt, we have show some class, we got a lot of those things. So that and more.
