Starting point is 00:00:01 So, Disney talked about having failures within the Mandalorian, Grogu, and Moana. So as the title says, can they turn around? It's not misleading at all. It's a question. Can they turn around their biggest brand in general with one of their biggest brands, Star Wars, with Starfighter? And can they turn around with other live action and just come back and be overall dominant? They're still going to do all right this year.
Starting point is 00:00:28 But isn't misleading? No. please have a definition of what misleading is um and we are going to be discussing a bunch of other things dc hasn't announced much and we're going to talk about the kind of reasoning why when it comes to the announcement with paramount and all that so what's when are we going to see any announcements and it's going to be quite a bit uh james cameron talked about his future films a little more spider Man News and kind of an update on what's going on with the reactions with Sam and Star Wars and things of that nature.
Starting point is 00:01:09 So we did it. We had a big one there yesterday. So anyway, let's get into it. It's myself and Chris Carr here today on this Thursday. Let's do it. Did you shit in there? Welcome back to the show, ladies and gentlemen here on this Thursday. We were off on Wednesday.
Starting point is 00:01:37 And we might be off again next Wednesday. But we're back today and joining us on the show. Chris Carr is here. Hello, Chris Carr. Hello, hello. How's it going? Good to have you back. We were right before we were going live, you and I were talking about because Chris Carr is going to be covering D23 for us.
Starting point is 00:01:56 And we're excited for that. She's going to be in the presentation and as things are going down. If we're live on air when the actual, what is it? When's the main panel again? The big thing, I think is the 14th. At the 19th at night. I need to double check all the schedule. What day is that? Is that a Saturday? That is a Friday. That is good. Okay. So depending on what time that land, you might even be able to give us some updates live and or whatever might be, we'll be kind of going. Maybe you can tweet stuff out or whatever it might be. We'll figure it out. But she's going to be our boots on the ground for D23. And then not too long in PLD, you'll be happy to hear this. So for people who have been following Sam's journey with. with Star Wars. She was so against even watching any of this, Chris. Every time I brought it up, she was like, oh, Star Wars. I mean, she's like, I loved Lord of the Rings. I loved Marvel,
Starting point is 00:02:50 but I just, Star Wars is not going to be for me. I said, you got to, you got to trust me. I got to, I got to present it the right way. And I, so I started her with Andor. I went into Rogue 1. I went into episode four to five, jumped into the prequels, one, two, and three, did the Patterson cut, and then went to return of the Jedi. And now, Not only is she like a diehard Star Wars fan. We watched Mandalorian season one and then yesterday she came in and we watched the entire Mandalorian season two yesterday, right? But the news that PLD is going to have is Sam wants to go to Star Wars celebration, which is hilarious. She wants it.
Starting point is 00:03:30 She wants to go to star was celebration. She wants to go for in and it's in LA and it's in April. Look at you see you had to pop in. Look at the bubble. There is. She can see me. She can see me there. I know.
Starting point is 00:03:40 I know. So that's one of the things that we were talking about is because it's in April. And actually, I thought it was in Anaheim. It's not. It's in Los Angeles this year. Yeah. Which or next year, whatever. And so that might be something to potentially do, depending on what the hell's going on with the pilot.
Starting point is 00:04:00 Hopefully something's going on with the pilot. And that's not just me shaking my fist going, oh, it could have been. So it's, there's a lot. There's a lot to be happening over the last, over the next, you know, shit, man, that's, that's what, April. That's pretty nuts. So, so that we have that. We have that going on. How crazy it is this?
Starting point is 00:04:20 She's like a big Star Wars fan now. I love it. I love that she's just like 10 toes down. I'm absolutely into this. This is one of my realms now. It's amazing. This is why, though, you should give stuff a try. It's why every now and then I still watch a horror movie to be like, maybe I'll like it.
Starting point is 00:04:34 You got to try. You have the try. She said to me yesterday, she goes, she, she, she, she, she, she, thinks she thinks she might like me the Manelorian season one in season two better than the movies. She loves, she loves, she loves, I knew she,
Starting point is 00:04:48 even the second Grogoo shows up, I know it was over. But like she loves, loves, loves, loves the show and loves Mando, loves me. But I'm very curious to see what happens. There's two things I wonder with her when it comes to season three. Because the quality dips in season three. Sure. And I wonder what she's going to think of the movie,
Starting point is 00:05:08 because the movie, to me, should have always been on television and should have always been intended for streaming, I'm gonna, I bet you she likes the movie. Probably. Because you're not going, oh, this is the first thing Star Wars puts out in the theater in a couple of years. Yeah, she'll have a different perspective on it.
Starting point is 00:05:29 And especially since you guys are watching it at home, you know, it's not going to be that, oh, we went out and this is, this was a thing, this was a to do. That's what it is. And it's also, you know, I get the appeal of Grogu. I really do. I'm over the go-go-gaga shit.
Starting point is 00:05:44 I'm over it. I'm over him bouncing around. I'm over it. I clearly am not. I love him so much. And she won't be either. You got to show her. Have you seen that insane little animatronic you can buy?
Starting point is 00:05:57 No. It's like a $600 puppet, man. It's insane. And I want it so bad. Send it to me because it might have to be a surprise gift or something to her for Christmas or something. It's banana grams. It's so cool.
Starting point is 00:06:13 So anyway, yeah, it's, we'll see. But the mainline Grogou, the reason I bring it up at all is because it was the subject of Disney talk recently, that and Moana, because regardless if you're PLD and your Grogu pajamas right now dancing around a rooftop hoping you were on Endor, it is, you know, you can't deny that the movie was a failure. box office was. So even Disney says as much. And Disney chief talked about both Mandalorian and Moana and said the following.
Starting point is 00:06:49 Speaking on the studio's latest earnings, call CEO Josh DeMorrow admits that both the Mandalorian and Grogo and the live action Moana remake underperformed at the box office this summer. The Star Wars film opened Memorial Day weekend to just 81 million for its domestic box office opening weekend, the lowest for a major Star Wars cinematic release. It ultimately earned $3.45 million worldwide, a far cry from the over $1 billion grosses of the sequel trilogy. Costing a reported $250 million to produce the live action Moana has only earned $262 worldwide, but the trades previously reporting that the movie stands to lose $100 million in theaters for Disney.
Starting point is 00:07:24 Tomorrow was quick to add that neither film was a bomb, and the movies contributed to reviews sources such as merchandise sales, steam, park revenue, and more. He says, even when our franchises films don't mean our box office expectations, as with the Mandalayan Grogo and the Live Action Moana, our investments in these core properties fuel other parts of our company. The Mandolary and Grogu drove healthy growth in retail sales for the Star Wars franchise
Starting point is 00:07:48 and drew guest to the updated Millennium Falcon attraction at Disneyland and Walt Disney World and led to significant engagement in gaming as well. I'm about polishing it turd. At the Live Action Moana is expected to be a strong title on Disney Plus, building on the success of the original film, which is one of the most stream movies of all time. These franchise investments contributed to value creation beyond their theatrical releases. It's a good answer from this, from him. I mean, it is the answer you have to give when you're talking to your peeps.
Starting point is 00:08:17 Theatrical performance is important to us, of course, but we can certainly aspire to deliver consistent financial results for our films. But the nature of our film industry is such that it is more of a portfolio game. The good news for us is our diversified business helps us basically cover the I can't even say the word right now. I'll tell it that comes out of the film business and the theatrical window in a lot of ways. It's just one data point and the real value of that IP is the cumulative belief of decade-long storytelling and our ability to take that IP and lay it into the entirety of the Disney flywheel. The news comes as the Disney company and TikTok announced today, first of its kind global deal that will bring curated Disney-centric fan created content from the TikTok to the Disney Plus app.
Starting point is 00:08:59 Whatever. That's the same. They were going to do that, that, I think, and they bailed on that thing, so they're doing that, yes. The first part of it is, look, as I said in the opening, this is going to be right. They have Doomsday coming out.
Starting point is 00:09:12 They have the other, what's it, the animated Pixar movie that comes out at the end of the year, I think, too. There's another one, or it's a Disney film. My camera, but they have another kid's movie coming out soon. And Spider-Man is a co-production with Sony, what I don't know what the deal is. So it's not like they're like,
Starting point is 00:09:30 Oh, we're in trouble. We've got to start looking to sell to Paramount. It's not that type of problem. But what the bigger issue is, and hence why we said, can they turn around 2027, is they're known for their kid properties. They're known for the stuff that really pops in animation and other things too. And Toy Story, by the way, is another one. It crushed. But when you have a win and then another loss, people look at the losses, especially when you have something as successful as Moana and a bigger star like the Rock.
Starting point is 00:10:00 and they overproduced that movie. And so they're going to turn that around, right? That's what they would look to do. Star Wars, as I said, like, look, you have to give that answer as the guy who's running the company. But you also have to have the real conversation behind closed doors with is, we can't do this again with Star Wars. The brand is getting damaged beyond control. And now, if they have a good win with Starfighter, which it looks like they will, if they have a win there, then they have to stay on that. path and continue to make movies if Starfighter is successful like that.
Starting point is 00:10:37 You can't do what you do. I'm watching Mandalorian and Grogu or Mandalorian rather, seasons one and season two. And I'm thinking as I'm knowing what's going on for that movie and I'm like, they dropped the ball so badly on releasing this movie not connecting it to anything because they could have still, even if you didn't have people who watch the seasons. There's this stuff that they talk about with the cloning and the stuff that they took with Grogu's blood and other things that they could have maneuvered into the Thrawn stuff and other things that they could have turned into a real movie. Instead, they made this side shit quest
Starting point is 00:11:09 that no one except PLD and six other people cared about. And it. And Logan, PLD and Logan are going to be best friends. Yeah, but it ate shit. Like, Peelty, I do, I do want to ask PILD, if there was an opportunity, I know you like the movie, you love it, you know, you've seen it 87 times. But if you, if there was a chance for them to go back in time and say, you know what? we could actually make this movie and connect it to the overall lore and the same way that the Clone Wars animated series added in some gaps for the prequels
Starting point is 00:11:40 and leading into other things. Would you rather see that or would you be good with this fart box that they did? I would rather have seen it a little more connected, absolutely. I understand what the goal was, what the idea was, but at hindsight, it wasn't a smart play. okay see all right so he's he's smarter than he looks you're not even going to defend the term fart box I'm shocked he's over it I got why bother why bother he's over it you know he's just take a whiff guys
Starting point is 00:12:15 and we were in trouble what so got I sent that to my my friend who actually said that at the sleepover party that was hilarious um anyway So we will see. I think that that phone call, what that phone call really means. Like the live action from Disney to live action, clearly with Lilo and Stitch and other things, the formula can still be there.
Starting point is 00:12:46 And if you do it the right way and you hit with the right director and you get the right cast, you could still make it work. Now, with Snow White and now this, it's not a sure thing. But you can make it work. Star Wars is the one, though, if I'm looking at Lucasfilm, I'm like, guys, everything, everything now is Starfighter is carrying Star Wars on its back. If Starfighter does not hit, like I was on Camp Asia last week and there was a question that was asked, if it doesn't make a hundred, will it make over $100 million opening weekend?
Starting point is 00:13:22 And I said, it better. It doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be a failure if it doesn't. but history shows that movies that of that caliber especially the two star wars movies that have not hit over a hundred million are solo and mandolin and grogou both the clunkers so if it doesn't hit over a hundred million i'm not even kidding i really think that disney should consider selling um lucas film to uh to apple or somebody who can actually who and retool that whole damn organization if it if it doesn't work i wonder how that would play out into the parks. I know they're all kind of separate things,
Starting point is 00:14:01 but because they've just made such an investment in having them physically there too. And that has been wildly successful. So I just, I always get confused. I know I'm a broken record on this. There are bits of Star Wars that are doing so well. I mean, PLD talked about in the chat here, you know, the ninth Jedi situation, mall was so good. There are things that are really, really great here. Visions is fantastic. But it's the stuff that's going to the big screen that we're having this big gap in quality and quantity, frankly. You know, but Chris,
Starting point is 00:14:33 not even a dip in quality. It was the first one in six years. Yeah. Or seven years, whatever it was. And it's like, yes, and you're right with the quality,
Starting point is 00:14:45 because if you look at, depending on, if you go from Force Awakens, which, you know, you go back and watch it, to me, I know what comes afterwards.
Starting point is 00:14:52 So it has diminished a little bit, in my opinion, but I liked it. I really liked it the first time I saw it. Yeah, I still think it's a good movie. The second movie, to me, again, we're on different pages, but we can agree that it just completely shattered the fan base, right?
Starting point is 00:15:06 And then they put the third one out, which could have done what Mandelorian Season 1 did, and it just, everyone thinks that movie is just the farts, the rise of the Skywalker, rise of Skywalker. And then nothing, so your quality point is valid, but then nothing for seven years. You cannot wait for seven years and then put out a TV, movie. That's a stupid business.
Starting point is 00:15:30 Well, I want one to y'all's point, too, that is not connected, really. It's such an insular story. And if we are trying to build out that universe, then you need to leave me with something else of, and now this is the threat the galaxy has to deal with. Or there's this situation. Or, oh, hey, remember how this was mentioned in previous Star Wars lore? Now we're going to dive deep into that. We're going to have this happen and set you up for some other things. And I know not everything has to be interconnected, but when you are at this crossroads where you have well-established lore, you have this kind of like story
Starting point is 00:16:01 you haven't been able to get away from the Skywalker saga. You got to really land it with something strong. And doing a rescue mission that should have been on streaming. Right. It doesn't do it. And I say that's someone who didn't dislike it as much
Starting point is 00:16:15 and had someone next to me who was losing their mind over how much they liked it. Right. Look, look, the movie itself, what they should have, they weren't going to do another season of it. They should have just released that movie as a streaming event because I still don't understand why they don't make streaming event Star Wars movies that they're going to do instead of
Starting point is 00:16:30 spending $230 million on the Acculite make a freaking $160 million streaming movie instead make it a stream that would have made that probably much better because that could have used some editing yeah we are completely on board with something in Star Wars the first time in ever that's my and my pitch and bitch for years just do a streaming movie you guys got to mark this moment in the time post I know I know but just like again because the thing with the streaming movie also what you can can do is you don't make you can't do a Sith led movie or an evil led movie in the theater. You just can't. It's harder to it. There's there's very few movies. There's some receipts you can give about what movies led with villains did well, but it's rare, right? And especially in these types
Starting point is 00:17:16 of movies. You're not going to see a Marvel movie really do it. You're not going to see a, uh, you know, these, these movies. I mean, you get anti heroes and stuff like Deadpool and stuff, but overall like villains but in a streaming movie you can do it you can absolutely do it and so i don't understand even man loring grog you spend that money you release that and then you can say hey it's a win look at the numbers that we did on streaming as opposed to everyone just shitting you on you because you put this movie on nobody knew what it was or even if you weren't paying attention after season two then it it was they tried to do the moana two thing to this and it just you know It blew up in their face.
Starting point is 00:17:53 I just wanted to throw out there last. Like, it seems like Disney has no idea what to do with that. It seems like this is a Disney decision. Moana 2. Oh, it's a TV. We can get that in movie theater. It seemed like an Iger decision. It seemed like an Iger decision.
Starting point is 00:18:03 Same thing as solo happened. They enforced the release date. They put something in there that, well, we can throw it up there. It's all good. Sure, but, I mean, yes, yes, yes, for the majority of that. However, Bob Iger didn't write it. He didn't direct it. He didn't put together.
Starting point is 00:18:18 What I was, what I'll just in the director to say, it was, let's make, you have to make it so it's accessible to everybody. And so Lucasville, maybe, maybe. Start as like, say how they made it accessible to everybody. Yeah, maybe. I think it was like a, I think that's fair. I used to have a source at Disney and there were constant discussions on just, just, just do this as a movie.
Starting point is 00:18:35 Just do this as a movie. Just like, throw this together. And it would be the, the feedback I'd be getting of like, hey, dude, like, Moana's really in trouble or like, hey, this is happening. That's really weird right now. And it was a lot of just like, just, just figure it out so you can throw it in a theater. Just figure this out so we can try to make some money.
Starting point is 00:18:50 and they'd use the code names too. So like the Captain America stuff, they'd be like, oops, all berries, better perform for everybody. You know? So it was just like a bunch of suits telling you like, just make it work and like Frankenstein it together
Starting point is 00:19:03 so you can put it in theaters. So I think you guys are onto something there of just there is a little bit of that studio interference that they're going. I don't need to look at that script maybe. Just do it. Just do it. So anyway, I think that Disney obviously,
Starting point is 00:19:18 someone asked, did they really admit failure? if they said that the box office and everything else did well i mean again they're putting lipstick on a pig you know and it's like for like well look here are the here are the positives let's it's not sky isn't falling just yet we got all this stuff that happened with the merchandise we have stuff that happen here so the the brand's not dead don't worry don't worry we're we're in good shape it just you know those movies didn't do all we want them to do good but they didn't you just again it was it's politics but um for their stockholders they're going to look like those numbers
Starting point is 00:19:49 are fine too because of the layoffs. So it kind of can resolve that stuff out. Yes. So anyway, very curious what people think about the conversation, the phone call, all that and more. All right, Chris, things that happen on, you know, when we're talking, news is always breaking. Things are always happened. Do you hear the news that during the, you look at the chat sometimes and we're going
Starting point is 00:20:12 to change, I'm changing up this format, by the way. I'm just letting people know that I'm going to be doing something soon that does not allow the host to look at the live chat. the show it's it's you're you're pretty locked in in general so but it's it's just a it's a distraction it's a distraction that's fair um but your show man you do what you want to do right you're you're at everybody who looks at the chat though you're you're the one i i'm concerned about the least um but i will say that i don't know if you saw this while the chat was going on there's some news that broke and um this indeed is the news talking about x-man and kit
Starting point is 00:20:49 Connor now is eyed for the Cyclops role in the upcoming Marvel Studios pick. We said once that Emma Frost news came in, this was going to just start rolling out. This is how it happens. I don't know who this kid is, Kid Connor. Really? What's he in? So he was in Heart Stoppers, which is a Netflix show based on a graphic novel. He was a little baby Elton John in Rocket Man.
Starting point is 00:21:14 That's what I first saw him in when he was a wee lad. That's a long time. Right. Right. Okay. So nothing, look, I'll tell you this. I don't know who he is. And maybe there's something else that I saw when I read the stuff here.
Starting point is 00:21:25 Looking at this picture, just this picture that we're looking at right here, got the look. Definitely has the look. After the news that Samarra Ween was in the line for the Emma Frost role in the upcoming X-Men, it looks like Marvel Studios has founded Scott Summers. As sources tell deadline that Kit Conner says the choice, not even the audition. He's the choice for the mutant cyclops. Similar to the weaving situation where Jake Shrier and Marvel Studios president, Kevin Feigy met with a number of candidates.
Starting point is 00:21:53 Sources say the studio has ultimately landed on Connor last week as the latest actor to Don the Cyclops Viser. Marvel and reps for Connor could not be reached for comment on the casting. While James Bond has had everyone's attention this summer, the most active casting process has been Who Will Play the New Team of Mutants, following a number of meetings and auditions over the last couple of months, sources say a small group of actors tested after the 4th of July holiday and after a lot of back and forth, Marvel landed on Connor as the choice to play Summer. Summers has been one of the cornerstones of the X-Men comics, first appearing in the 63 X-Men comic from Stan Lee and Jack Kirby.
Starting point is 00:22:27 The character has always been seen as the captain of the mutants, best known, with the powerful beams of energy emitted from his eyes that he controls through a visor and various sunglasses. Characters played by two actress in the past, James Marsden and Ty Sheridan, who'll play him in the 2010. Marsden's already confirmed to reprise the role in the upcoming Doomsday pick this December. The latest development is sure to excite fans of the franchise who have been begging for new X-Men movies since the acquisition of 20th century's Fox.
Starting point is 00:22:55 X-Mewverse was by far the most popular and profitable Marvel IP that Fox controlled, counting seven films and a successful Wolverine spinoff franchise. The new project gained momentum last spring when Shreyer was tapped to direct, followed by beef creator Lee Sung-Jinn and the Bayer co-creator Joanna Kalo, hired to pen the script. Connor Starr's has been on the rise since
Starting point is 00:23:16 this scene stealing role in Netflix series Heart Stopper, recently reprising the role in a movie Spinoff, Heartstopper Forever. He was in, oh, he was in warfare? What was he in warfare? I mean, I liked warfare. I don't remember him,
Starting point is 00:23:27 that as well as the upcoming video game adaptation, Eldon Ring. Oh, so he's got, yeah, so he's kind of up and coming and people are paying attention to him. So, like I said, I don't know anything about the guy, but from what it looks like,
Starting point is 00:23:41 he's got the look, and clearly he's the one that, it seems like this is who, who the guy. is who it's going to be what I have heard and I've talked about this many times this is a big announcement because Cyclops I think it's going to be Cyclops and Gene Gray are the two focus and they're going to be the stars of the X-Men movies now Hugh Jackman was essentially Wolverine was the star of the X-Men movies during the Fox era where James Morrison
Starting point is 00:24:09 did a great job but everybody kind of feels that Cyclops was kind of done dirty in those the case I think this time around. I think this is a reason why this is being talked about now because this guy and Gene Gray are going to be the two leads of these movies. And I don't think, and I think you shouldn't see Wolverine unless it's a post-credit scene or in the second one. I completely agree with that. Well, because from the comics, too, Wolverine wasn't a big character for quite a while. You know, we're looking at our very core X-Men. And I love Hugh Jackman. I think he's been so wonderful in the role, but I think to make people enjoy whoever takes Wolverine next, you need to give it a little break. Right. You need to give it a little air. And this also answers
Starting point is 00:24:55 so many questions, too, about how these relationships are going to work, at least for me, because by having Genecast and then immediately going to Emma Frost with, you know, a 10-year age gap between those two actresses, I did have a lot of questions of. Is Emma Frost going to be in that older generation, kind of like more of a teacher being the headmistress, being a mentor potentially to Gene, or are they going to be romantic rivals? Because in the comics, Scott Summers and Emma Frost hook up all the time and they have a relationship. The X-Men are so messy.
Starting point is 00:25:25 Yeah. That's why we love them. Yeah. And then, you know, the thing is that Wolverine has just brought so much excitement to the, and he always does every single time he's on. That's why I think you have to wait. You let the X-Men build upon themselves and build momentum and build momentum and become the stars that they were before,
Starting point is 00:25:42 like you said, before Wolverine entered the comics, right, and let them do that in movies. So when that post-credit scene comes or the sequel comes, and Wolverine does show up and people are wondering what the casting is there, you let them earn it so you don't have to just rely on Wolverine again. And because if you just put Wolverine in there again,
Starting point is 00:26:01 that's what everybody's going to want again. It's going to be the spin-up of a Wolverine, who's Wolverine, who got cast as Wolverine, is a Wolverine movie. And then the ultimate conversation is going to be, Is he better than Hugh Jackman? Is it this?
Starting point is 00:26:12 And it becomes all about Wolverine again. And it's my favorite character. Hands down. And from the comics and everything too. But I want to see them really give Scott Summers his due. I think that this is the kid now that is going to attempt to do that. Absolutely. And this kid, too, to his credit, he is a very strong actor.
Starting point is 00:26:32 He has done, you know, stints on Broadway. He was Romeo and Juliet. He's got a voice acting credit under his name, too, with Wild Robot. He's bright Bill in that. He's a really, really strong actor. And then a fun bit of synergy. So also Bright Bill is kind of my like little, oh yeah, you can do an American dialect, kiddo. Let's go.
Starting point is 00:26:50 He also in a fun moment of synergy, his co-star in Heartstopper, Joe Locke, he's an Agatha Allong. He's Billy. And so it's cool to have all these guys coming together. And I think this is a really smart casting choice. I think it's really wise to start with those younger teenage X-Men so that we can. and have those gifted youngsters and really establish, you know, why mutants are seen as a threat, how this is so difficult because of the gene kind of really like igniting once you're going through puberty and you're like the worst version of yourself while you have superpowers.
Starting point is 00:27:25 I think this is really smart for storytelling and also just for the longevity of this series too. It also has got to have these kids sign on for like five movies. That's what I was going to say. It also shows kind of like the older school way of Marvel doing things where they're like, okay, we're casting young, we're casting for the future, we're casting in general, right, with not like the big names, even, I mean, even tomorrow weaving is a, that's a name that brings weight, but she's not like a megastar yet. She's not a megastar. She's a, she's been in some hit, she's been some hit movies and things too, but she's, she's a name that people are starting
Starting point is 00:27:58 to recognize. And if you're in, if you pay attention to movie news and other things you know her, but she's not like a household name yet. So that's a good get. They haven't got the big movie star yet, which they will, and it'll probably be something along the lines for Professor X or Magneto or something like that, because you build out the cast and you rely on the name of the X-Men and you rely on the storytelling that you're setting up now from the movies you're putting in the theater today, that you're going to be then moving on to Doomsday and, you know, Secret Wars and all that. And you're leading now into the X-Men storytelling, that you'll have enough, interest in what's happening that you don't have to cast. Well, who the hell else is in it? And by the way,
Starting point is 00:28:43 and this, I don't want to, I mean, I still don't want to put spoilers out there, but there are people in movies that are happening within the last two or three years that you could put in these movies now that maybe weren't as well known. But now that they are, it adds to the star power of, oh, well, they were in a really big movie. They were in a movie that was, was popular. And so now I know that person even more than I did a couple years ago. Absolutely. Yeah. So I like the cast.
Starting point is 00:29:12 I'm curious when you guys think, do you like this casting? Do you think he has the right look? Are you familiar with his work? Make sure you put your thoughts in there and let us know. We're going to be right back. We have a lot more to talk about. Speaking of Spider-Man, broke another Tuesday record. It's insane.
Starting point is 00:29:29 I haven't really talked to Chris Carr yet about her thoughts on the movie. I'm assuming she saw it. Thumbs up, Chris. You saw it? Yes. Okay. So we'll talk about that. But before we even do it, I'm going to talk to you guys about Factor, talk to about Rouguet.
Starting point is 00:29:40 Go right back. Yes. I am a luchador, and I come from a proud line of luchadores. My grandfather was a luchador, my father was a luchador, and I am carrying on the tradition. But there is more to me than just this mask. I have a loved wife and two beautiful children. We vacation in the south of France. I'm a big fan of cooking shows.
Starting point is 00:30:11 And also, I am a successful businessman. And I'm trying to be top salesman of the year. I love it there. I love it. Garnemolida, yes. It's not all suplex moves and jumping off the top of the chairs on top of somebody. Really? Where's the coffee? I want to be taken seriously.
Starting point is 00:30:43 There is more to me than just this mask. And my abilities in the ring to be a champion. man PLD is just so happy I've played that. Thank you, first of all, to, to Rushi Head and Factor for being here today. Make sure you go and you check them out in the description, but then also thank you to John Roker for providing those commercials, which is absolutely amazing. It was really good.
Starting point is 00:31:14 So, yeah, speaking of John Roker, that's your competition here, Chris. Of course it is. Yeah, he's been crushing. Again, he's been doing really, really well. But I think he, look, I think he's reachable. You beat him last week. Yes. Right.
Starting point is 00:31:27 So I think that you can do it again this week. Thank you, Derek. So much. You definitely got the win last week for sure. And I think that it's possible to do it again. You already at almost 30 questions before we're even halfway through the show. So if you want to see Chris Carr beat John Roker, have those questions come in here. And what I will do again, as I have been doing, we, yeah, let's do it.
Starting point is 00:31:51 So we are going to be taking questions about Kickstarter. We're going to be launching that in September. And you guys have been asking great questions. What we're going to do, when the questions come in, all the super chats and everything, when they're over, I'll open up the chat in general. You throw something there and highlight it. Chris will be here until the lot of times she's supposed to be in here,
Starting point is 00:32:10 until we're done with the questions that you send. But then after that opens up, you guys stay on asking any questions that you want, is what we're doing. So, okay, let's get a. to some more topics, Chris Carr, because we got some stuff. Oh, and by the way, for people next, I might be going, like I said, next Wednesday, I might be not here to do the show.
Starting point is 00:32:33 So the potential that'll either do the same thing I did yesterday or take the day off or I might just have two co-hosts on TBD, TBD. Okay, let's talk about, Chris, let's talk about Spider-Man because I haven't gotten your thoughts on the movie yet. And it's just doing incredible business right now. And you're part of that business. You saw it. You spent your money to see it.
Starting point is 00:32:58 Any regrets? No, not a one. I was so pleased about it. We actually did an episode about this on Two Filty Casuals last week. Because Amy wasn't as jazzed about this movie as I was, which she decidedly is not a big, like, superhero person. Okay. But I really enjoyed this. And I'm so glad I was wrong about stuff because my concern going in was this feels a little overstuffed.
Starting point is 00:33:19 I mean, we're getting tombstone. We're getting the hand. Yeah, yeah. And I'm so happy it was basically a montage at the beginning. Yeah, it was like what they did in Fantastic for. Yeah, I like that it was, let's catch up. I love just how, like, straight from those splash pages, straight from the comic book covers, those moments were. I thought Tom Holland was so excellent in this.
Starting point is 00:33:39 It's great. He was wonderful. Yeah, it really was. What a good time to be Tom Holland. Odyssey, Spider-Man, Zendaya. Cushing it, man. And Bernthal, too. Yes.
Starting point is 00:33:49 Oh my gosh. Yeah. All three of them. All three of them are having a really great time. Bernthal's great in this. And I love to, and, you know,
Starting point is 00:33:56 we mentioned having these kind of like events or specials on the streamer. His Punisher special was so great in that it just added so much to me understanding why he was in this movie, but I didn't need it. You know, I went and saw it with somebody who was like,
Starting point is 00:34:12 oh, I skipped that. I didn't see it. And they didn't have any of, they weren't missing any pieces. Sam didn't see either. Yeah. Same with Sam. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:20 And she loved him. Oh, when you go home, watch it. And they were like, oh, my gosh, this adds so much to it. Like, of course he would feel for this kid. Of course this is happening. Right. It's just a really, really well done movie. Is it perfect?
Starting point is 00:34:32 No, there's a couple of little issues here and there, but I was a big fan. Sorry, I interrupted. No, no, no. You didn't. Speaking of Bernthal, I didn't notice this until it's a bit. Have you seen like now, now as he becomes a bigger star and where people are posting things about him and he's like this montage of his stuff and it's like, this guy has always, always wants to ask us something is what the Instagram post edit and it's clips of him and he does do this a lot.
Starting point is 00:34:53 He goes, let me, let me tell you something. Let me, let me ask you something. Let me tell you something. You know, if I got to tell you something, I got to tell you something. He says, tell you something. Let me ask you something. Let me ask you a question. Let me ask you a question. He says it in everything he's in. And I wonder if it's like a thing that he does, you know, like an actor thing. I always remember like dating few as a kid with like Mitch will like touch his nose. And like there's always like, like something the little the little things that the actor has and his is let me tell you something let me ask you a question and i can never not hear it now oh it's his wow yeah yeah yeah yeah let me tell you something brother let me tell you something it is if you go if do do like a see pld or or luke or somebody
Starting point is 00:35:36 see if you can find that montage um of the john brunthol let me tell you something let me ask you question and then if you find it please put it into the it's hilarious i mean it's really i love Byrneville, by the way. He's great. The best is when he delivers it, though, with like the little sniff thing, too. And he's like, yeah, let me tell you something, Brian. Let me ask you something. Let me ask you. If I can, if I can have a question here,
Starting point is 00:35:57 I can ask you something. You can tell you something. It's great. Anyway, so the movie itself, what I wanted to get into is we were talking, like the box office side of it, which is insane what this movie is doing. It's breaking these records. That's why I told somebody the other day. Like, when it comes to, the idea that this movie, because you looked at what The Odyssey did in week two,
Starting point is 00:36:19 and it was like 29%. The odds of that happening with after making $1 billion, you know, and odds of doing a 29% drop is almost slim to none, right? Because most people who want to see the movie have seen the movie. However, this movie is doing things that I cannot tell anybody it's because there are a few people who said, it's impossible. It can't happen. It's not going to happen. I, if it is, if it is monetarily possible, it is monetarily possible. I mean, you know, people could go and see it a million times over. And it is possible. I'm just saying, don't rule anything out. I don't think it'll happen. I think you have a better shot, which is still an incredible number if it does 50%. If it does
Starting point is 00:37:07 50% of the billion, it'll make another $500 million is what it was projected to make in week one. And the reason why you can't count it out is because the money is making on Monday and Tuesday. So this is what it did on Tuesday because on Monday it was $46 million, which is the biggest Monday ever. Let's just did it again on Tuesday. And now it's the biggest Tuesday ever. The records keep piling up for Spider-Man. And Spider-Man, Brain New Day, keeps delivering more records in the breathtaking box office launch for the film that stars Tom Holland and Zendaya. The Sony Pictures feature has set the record for the biggest Tuesday in domestic box office history with $42 million for the day.
Starting point is 00:37:50 This surpasses the previous Tuesday record that Sony held with Spider-Man far from home, which earned 39.2 on July 2nd. Spider-Man brand-new day has no shortage of brand-new records as the director Destin Daniel Cretton's film continues its high-flying start. The day prior, it also set the record mark for highest-grossing Monday domestically, has become the fastest feature to hit 400 million domestic. domestically doing so in just four days to bringing its North America total to 449 million as Tuesday morning. Over the weekend, Brand New Day was in a close battle with endgame for the biggest domestic opening weekend. The competition culminated in Sony's confirming Monday morning that Spidey had prevailed to claim the crown with 360 surpassing end games 357. Although the latter's 1.2 billion global launch maintained the record for worldwide opening weekend. Brand New Day became the second fastest featured across the billion dollar mark when Sony announced Tuesday.
Starting point is 00:38:44 morning that it reached the threshold in six days. Spider-Man, brand-new day also sets the biggest Thursday previews and top Friday opening domestic sum along with becoming Sony's best ever launch. So, yeah, Chris, I mean,
Starting point is 00:38:57 these numbers are crazy. Now, I still think that realistically, you're probably looking at like a 60, 65% drop, you know, which is still pretty damn good for a billion-dollar opening movie. On the table for this film,
Starting point is 00:39:14 depending because I think the difference is and when did brand new day come out Pieldy I think that brand new day came out that's that's this one uh no way home I always I get them confused when did no way home come out in no way home come out in May or or June in I think so in 2021 which it's still crushed but it did have competition you know down down the line when did it come I don't remember when it came out um it may even been November for all I remember July someone says let's see hold on someone saying something um no I got to let me let me know somebody knows when the hell it came out someone says it was December December is when it came out okay which makes sense because it came out in 2021 and they couldn't release it in the summer of
Starting point is 00:40:01 2021 because it's still pandemic stuff was happening and it was a little bit better in December of 2021 and they did and it still made that money but how much competition it ultimately had in December. I don't remember. But I still think that this movie just has nothing in its way. It's got nothing. It's got nothing in its way. And it's got no pandemic. It's got nothing. It's got it is there's no competition for this movie whatsoever. So I don't know. I think sky is a limit for this film. Chris, remember what I was telling you that I thought that Avengers could be the movie that potentially makes $3 billion? It is not crazy if someone made a prediction today that this movie could hit $3 billion.
Starting point is 00:40:44 I feel like that would be a pretty like reasonable bet. Right. This movie's got legs, I think. I mean, there's touch rewatchability. And yeah, the last film was overcoming a lot of stuff and it kind of reinvigorated theaters. We were so excited to get back and it was a spectacle, right?
Starting point is 00:41:00 We had all the spider men coming back. Yeah. This, what it has in its favor is it's so damn good. Yeah. It's just a great movie. It's a character-driven story. Yeah. If you're not a superhero being like person,
Starting point is 00:41:12 this is still so well done that you will be on board because of that incredible humanistic storytelling we're doing. And then there's also just really cool shit that happens. Spider-Man Fight Ninjas? Come on. I know. There's a lot of cool stuff. And people just really enjoy it. And it's like, I just said the reason I really liked it is because it just treated the audience with respect. And for a big blockbuster movie, summer movie. People are still like kind of rooting and hoping for like the overall storyline for Marvel to start working again.
Starting point is 00:41:39 It is Spider-Man. So all that stuff is kind of working in its face. So I don't know, sky's the limit. We'll see how it does. And we're paying attention to what it does this weekend because if it makes another, I mean, shit, man, if you have Monday made close to 50 today, yesterday made close to 50, you're looking at almost another 200 million by the time you hit Friday, right? So you add that up there and then add that to whatever this weekend is going to look like.
Starting point is 00:42:09 It's going to be an interesting Monday conversation as all. I'm saying. So that's it. What do you guys think about it? How much is it ultimately going to make in its run? And I still, I don't know what the bet is anymore between this and Doomsday. I really just don't. I don't. Someone asked me what I thought was going to make more, you know, a month ago. And I said, Doomsday, no, no question. I don't know if that's the answer anymore. I just this, this movie, the way this movie is because this movie has already proven that people love it. We don't know. We haven't heard anything really about Doomsday, whether people are going to love it or not. if they do feel the same way because of the momentum Spider-Man has, it could be the same to, you know, to back-to-back for Marvel. I don't know, Chris, do you think different? I mean, I still, watching this, I didn't really have any bolster of enthusiasm for Doomsday. Okay. What I feel like this proves, once again, is that Spider-Man is just so beloved.
Starting point is 00:43:05 You know, he is widely accepted as one of the most popular and commercially successful characters. I believe I looked this up last week. I think his lifetime IP like merchandise sales are somewhere around like $29 billion. Wow. People love this dude. I love this dude. He's got me into comic books. And I always feel like he's a fairly safe bet
Starting point is 00:43:27 for you as long as you don't go totally off the rails like we had with a Spider-Man 3 or Amazing Spider-Man 2 kind of situation. But those both did well. They still made money. It's just the fans didn't like it, right? Totally, totally. And people still will see these movies. Whereas I feel like these big event films with Marvel are a little bit more,
Starting point is 00:43:45 do I really want to see it? At least at this point in time, I'm hoping they can ride this wave. I'm hoping this gets people into the theaters and that doomsday ends up being really, really phenomenal. But I don't think it's a one-to-one of this did so well. So now we can. No, no, I don't either.
Starting point is 00:44:01 I don't either. I think the Avengers has a bigger IP boost than most. You've got a whole bunch of folks in there. Yeah. And Downey and the rest of them have the casual fan is what is what the hook is. And that's what they're trying to do with the casting with bringing everybody back. So that's another conversation for sure because I don't disagree when it comes to just superhero movies in general. Thunderbolts was a really good movie.
Starting point is 00:44:26 No one saw it. Nobody cared. Fantastic four. Oh, we got them back. Nobody cared. You got to really get the audience excited for them to come back. And look, shit, man. Superman did good.
Starting point is 00:44:39 good, right? So they're like, oh, Supergirl, no one cared. So it's like you got to, you really have to make a great movie in order for people to, and that hype has to be there. And the difference, again, with Doomsday is that, as where Spider-Man does not have this, as I just mentioned, Doomsday has to fight up against Dune. Now, I still think Doomsday is going to be the overall winner in that battle, but it's still going to chip at the box office. Now, could it add people in the way that like this movie, when it was sold out or when Odyssey was sold out, like, oh, what else am I going to see? Maybe they could have helped. I just think that they're competing audiences. They'd probably just wait. You don't think it's going to be a Dune's Day situation?
Starting point is 00:45:26 I mean, I just feel like the Barbie, the Barbenheimer thing was just different. Barbentham because those are two different audiences. You know, in the same way that there was, when Force Awakens was out there, the Tina Faye and, uh amy polar movie was it step sisters or what the hell is that movie called i can't remember what it was called whatever it was some movie that they had that came out and it did crazy business because it was alternate programming and then that's the same with barbie and oppenheimer the different programming um same programming i'll wait until the one i'm i'm looking forward to is is available um but maybe i'm wrong i don't know maybe it'll maybe it'll maybe it'll
Starting point is 00:46:04 sisters was the name of it um so anyway to what everybody thinks put your thoughts in there let us know mention um about superman and supergirl and there hasn't really been a lot of announcements with dc the things that are coming up minus minus manna tomorrow lantern's coming out but they've been holding back on any announcements and i think rightfully so and so comic book movie had an interesting article that we're going to get into and uh one of those discovery paramount merger could explain why dc studios has explained nothing thing beyond 2027. I don't know about could. I think it's like definitively. You don't know what the hell's going on. Why would you start announcing stuff? Uh, so Paramount's 111 billion acquisition of
Starting point is 00:46:48 Warner Brothers Discovery could prove problematic for DC Studios and may even explain why the DCU slate currently ends with 2027's manna tomorrow. It's been three and a half years since DC studios first unveiled its slate of DCU projects and it hasn't all been smooth sailing since then. And there are questions about Paramount's acquisition of Warner Rose Discovery and what it will mean for James Gunn and Peter Saffron, Supergirl losing upwards of $200 million isn't going to do them any favors with the Ellison family, meaning the fate of both the co-CEOs and the DCU could now rest on the shoulders of Clayface and Man of Tomorrow. Nothing has been announced beyond those aside that Jimmy Olson TV show and a new piece from The Holly Reporter could explain why. There are a few clauses in the merger agreement that could cause issues as time goes on. For starters, there are limits on deals involving key property IP, both for new deals or licensing deal to a 30.
Starting point is 00:47:37 party. The agreement does not specify what qualifies as a key property, but one can safely assume franchises like Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, and DC are among them. In simple terms, this means that Warner Brothers Discovery will likely hold off on producing any new DC content until being given the green light from Paramount. This could significantly delay planned project similar to when Zazlov took over in 2022. It may lead to project in active development like Batgirl being scrapped if they don't fit the new owner's vision. So until mid-20207, it seems all DC studios can do is work on projects already in the works before the merger process began. The deal is expected to close by late next year, and this update potentially explains why the Batman 2 has been pushed to 2008.
Starting point is 00:48:23 That move ensures Paramount can benefit from the movie's release. Despite facing various legal hurdles, deadline has confirmed that the UK authorities have now given Paramount's $111 billion acquisition in the Green Light. the UK represented one of the last major obstacles to David Ellison landing the prize. With that now out of the way, Paramount Boss can focus on the lawsuit from the U.S., which is set to go out on trial in March of 2027. Okay, so I still feel, I mean, look, it's still, it's a political thing and everything, too. We'll see what happens by the end of the year.
Starting point is 00:48:52 But I think that there's still, I still feel Paramount's going to get this in general, but this overall makes sense to me, as we've been talking about, that if you're Warner Brothers, you just don't start making movies and announcing stuff in the way that, you know, Kathleen Kennedy would announce 15 different movies coming up and then you're like, oh, we've got to cancel them all because the Ellison's don't want any of those.
Starting point is 00:49:16 Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. No, you don't want to be Lucy Van Pelt constantly taking the football away, not only from the people who are potentially going to see your projects, but also, again, your investors, the people who do own stock in your company and everything as well. It makes you look volatile.
Starting point is 00:49:32 It makes you look unsafe. You're a poor investment. And since they have no idea what they're doing moving forward, they don't know who's going to be running this company potentially. They don't know who's going to be the heads of all these various, like, different factions within there too. So why would you make these announcements? It's,
Starting point is 00:49:47 this is the same way that when I am cast in something, I do not tell anyone because it is very likely, I'll be cut. You know, there's nothing worse than going to watch a TV show and going, I'm not in it. Why would I want to do that with my entire company and go, Hey, we've got all this cool stuff coming up.
Starting point is 00:50:04 Just kidding. Right. And, you know, in regards to the things that are already out there, now, they definitely need to get a little bit more juice, depending on, even if it goes through, if it doesn't go through, if you're saffron and gun, you need more juice. Because, as we said, was Supergirl a huge disappointment overall? Yes, it was. Is it the end of your DCU? No, it's not. it because you have these other projects that are out there that people will forget a failure
Starting point is 00:50:32 pretty fast if you put hits out after it however they remember the failures a lot if there's another one right behind it because if you get if lanterns turn it because the last trailer for landers is pretty damn good if the show turns out and it's like day it was not great and then clay face you're like oh man that could have been a lot better than it was um then you're going to be in a lot of trouble, especially with Man of Tomorrow coming around. However, if Lanterns delivers and people are like, whoa, they should have led with this type of trailer to get this,
Starting point is 00:51:08 this show is so spectacular. It's amazing. It's one of the best things DC's ever done. Then people are like, oh, okay, now I'm a little more hyped up for Clayface. And then Clayface turns out to be this major hit off of a small budget and shows that their strategy from doing this thing, people are going to forget about Supergirl pretty quick. They'll still use it in, you know, conversations here and there.
Starting point is 00:51:30 But if Man of Tomorrow, Clayface, and Lanterns all hit in quality, then by the time if a Paramount deal goes through, then you're in good shape. Yeah. Well, you talked about this at the beginning of the show. People remember you for the last thing you did, whether or not that was a win or a loss. And so it is that we just have to keep that momentum in order to keep this DCU moving forward. because money talks. And why would you, as much as I would hate to see it go,
Starting point is 00:51:59 because I am a person who has enjoyed the majority of these things, Supergirl, not so much, but I like a lot of what guns brought to the table. And I'd like to see this kind of breathe and see what it's supposed to actually come to to and see all that come to fruition. But if it's not doing well, if audiences aren't responding to it, you got to pivot, regardless of how you feel about these individuals. So I can completely understand it. Did you see that op-ed that's making the rounds on socials?
Starting point is 00:52:24 Where it's a kind of, it's a suggestion of, hey, George Clooney, just go buy Warner Brothers. And it's, it's this piece that's like, hey, like, do you should try to do this like United Artists thing again. Because all these actors keep writing letters of we are against this and we do not want this merger to go through. And it's basically just a piece of going, well, then why don't you guys get together and buy it then? Right. And the way that they did like those theaters in Westwood, right? Exactly. Yeah. I thought it was really interesting of, oh, that's, that's a lot better than it's just.
Starting point is 00:52:54 bitching about what's happening. It's true. If you put together like a whole, you know, take the richest actors who make all these, this freaking money and have them do it. The problem is, then, then, then, you know, if they're all running it, what the hell's that look like? You know, I don't, I don't know. I don't know what the, what the solution is. Either way, that's what we got today. Those are our stories. So love to hear your thoughts on that one. What do you think is going to happen overall with, not only just DC, the Warner Brothers Paramount merger. Put your thoughts in there. Let us know. Let me ask you something. Fossil fuel. I mean, how stupid is that?
Starting point is 00:53:27 Let me tell you. The hell with it, Shane. I don't know that. Let me tell you something else, man. Hey, Herschel, man. Let me ask you something. Let me tell you something, man. Hey, don't touch him.
Starting point is 00:53:36 Ask you something, man. That's just, that's just walking dead. That's just walking dead. Like, that's, that's, that's, there's a one, there's one from, like, all of his moves. Let me ask you something. Let me ask you a question. Let me ask you.
Starting point is 00:53:52 It's, it's, and everything. every movie that he's in. It's hilarious. Anyway, Chris Carr, we're going to get into these questions, but before we do it, tell the kids what's going on. Oh, gosh, lots of things going on. You can watch a viewpoint over on Amazon. I am a voice in that. You can check out two filthy casuals. We have new podcasts every Friday, and we've been hitting you guys with some bonus content lately. Amy and I have both gotten to do really cool things lately. She got to get a sneak peek of the Fast and Furious
Starting point is 00:54:16 roller coaster, so we should have an episode about that coming out soon. I got to see Practical Magic 2 before anybody else, which was really bad. It was pretty good. I still don't know because it was a fan event, so I still don't know what I'm allowed to say, but I pre-filmed my reviews, so that'll come out once I'm allowed to. So we've got some cool stuff over there. You can follow us to fully casuals pod wherever you get your podcast. And then I've got voice acting classes coming up for speakfriend studio.
Starting point is 00:54:40 Speakfriendstudio.com. Awesome. All right. That's amazing. Thank you, Chris Carr. So let's get into the questions because Chris Carr is trying to take out John Roka again. So let's it's her arch rival at this point. Speaking of which, we do have a new Shmodan match going up today.
Starting point is 00:54:57 I don't know if Luke got a chance to do a thumbnail yet, but we are going to be showing yesterday was Schnepp versus Cal Anonymous, the late great John Schnep. Oh my God, Chris Carr, you would have loved John Schnep. Everything I've ever seen of him. He just seemed like the best. You would have loved him. You guys would have gotten along so well.
Starting point is 00:55:16 I know it. I know that you guys would have. Anyway, so today's match. is Clark Wolf versus Sam Levine. It's a number one contender match in the winner. Yeah, and the winner plays Dan Merle for the championship. So that's a huge match for people if you haven't seen it. So Clark Wolf was coming out.
Starting point is 00:55:36 I think she was 3 and 0 at that time. And Sam Levine was maybe they were both 2 and 0. I can't remember. 2 and 0 or 3.0. I can't remember, but nonetheless, it's going up today. Okay, first one, Nathan Drake. I'd love to fail like Disney. Toy Story made a billion and they could get around 25%
Starting point is 00:55:51 from Spider-Man brand-new-day success and Doomsday will be huge. Well, yeah. But listen, but it doesn't change the fact that you still have these other IPs and these other things, these big properties. It doesn't matter for the rest of your stuff is doing well. These failures that they're having in particular, these particular projects, they want to get back on board. So it is a failure, especially for what they've done with Star Wars brand.
Starting point is 00:56:16 They've almost destroyed it. Okay. Noah Lawson. And Noah says, A shame Timothy Zahn's novels from the 90s never got adapted. Sam would have loved where the story continued with Luke, Mara, and Thrawn.
Starting point is 00:56:32 Emera Jade and Thron were, it was a great storyline. I would have loved to seen it for sure. But Lucas was famously not a fan of the those extended universe stuff. I think that's kind of one of the reasons that Filoni, well, if George didn't like it, I don't like it either.
Starting point is 00:56:49 and I think that's what happened. Noah Lawson. I know there's a world Flonny's adapting heir to the empire, but the last thing I need is him peeing all over his own's wonderful stories. Well, he kind of already did that where, remember, like, Thrawn, Throne didn't, well, wasn't that. Let me be fair. He didn't do that.
Starting point is 00:57:06 Thrawn, in the novels, took place right after Return of the Jedi, like right afterwards. So they couldn't do that from the way that the canon and the way that the new sequels had been set up. So Floney actually did what he could do and brought Thron into rebels during that timeline and did the best he could with it. I just think that since then, they just kind of dropped the ball. He was, he was, he was pretty, he was pretty great in rebels. It was just so, such a letdown in that Asoka series.
Starting point is 00:57:36 Dull. Noah Lawson. Hey, Chris, ever since you said, can I be a whimsical B? I've had it stuck in my head, even singing it. I'm also hoping to become a voice actor one day. That's awesome. Oh, amazing. I would love to know the tune that you were singing.
Starting point is 00:57:53 Can a bitch be whimsical too? Yeah. That makes me very happy. And hey, what great timing. On August 22nd, I am doing my intro to VO boot camp again. Oh, yeah. 109 when you pay with a credit card or Klarna. Or you can contact us and we'll do a $10 discount with Venmo.
Starting point is 00:58:07 So I'm going to do eight students, but there's also going to be observer spots since it's on Zoom. So if you want to take a class with me, that's great. But also if you need another wonderful resource, the national, the National Association of Voice Actors. Wonderful information on their page. They do like pay what you can classes. They're a great place to get started. Awesome.
Starting point is 00:58:23 Thank you so much. Ron H. Happy Thursday, all. Some good news. Roni will be back early next week by the latest, by tomorrow, the earliest,
Starting point is 00:58:31 and because the motor, which was replaced is under warranty, save 10K. That's pretty awesome. Ron H. And Ronnie are coming. I do mean that in that way. Oh, all right.
Starting point is 00:58:39 I was on that this weekend, a festival celebrating anime, magna, manga, Jesus. Magna. Not mega, wow. Manga. Manga. Cosplaying, video games,
Starting point is 00:58:50 otaku, culture, and they got the hentai as well. Ron, you speak in lyrics or limericks, whatever the whole thing. I can't. My brain is toast. I haven't eaten, Chris, and my head's starting to go into different places. Why isn't you're eating? Well, the last thing I have was an apple and a chicken breast. I was three hours ago.
Starting point is 00:59:08 I got to eat. Griffin Shaw Media. Can we get a Futog Hammy, Who, for old timesakes? Yeah, I think we still have it in here, right? Where the hell is? We haven't played it in a while. but did we get rid of that? Couldn't know. Oh, there it is.
Starting point is 00:59:19 Food tech? Howley? Yeah. Coming back in September. So we'll have them back. Okay. So then Griffin said, Chris and Smets are my two favorites. Let's get Chris to win.
Starting point is 00:59:32 Oh, thank you. Roke had a pretty good Monday. So you guys are going to have to have, you have to see if you can take them out again. She did it last week. Ron H. Gallaud Autry and the Celebrity Sex Pass is expected to arrive on digital and VOD platforms on August 11th. Ron H approved.
Starting point is 00:59:47 And it's funny. Stop that. train already on BOD. I like laughs. People have talked about both those movies and said they're pretty good, Ron, so your taste apparently is the same, yeah. My friend went to the premiere, stop that train, and she loved it. So I really, I really should have caught that one. I need to see it. Ron H. So Chris, Hollywood, hollyweed, yay or nay? I still haven't seen it, my guy. I'm taking a wee little break from those tasty, tasty dummies, and I feel like I need those to enjoy this film. You let me know.
Starting point is 01:00:18 Yeah. Okay, let's see. The next one here is Mike Joyce. Did you tell Sam all about Operation Cinder after it came up in the Mandalorian as if she needed another reason to hate the empire? No, Peele of Pop-up with Operation Siderly. When did that take place in canon? Yeah, it's basically the plan that Palpatine had post, like if he died, he's going to make sure everything else was destroyed. Like bamboo was destroyed. It was based on him getting killed. When was that? It was in the comics as a post-canon. Right.
Starting point is 01:00:51 So who, right. So, I mean, I don't, I know. It's great, but I don't, but that's a, the one thing that I, it's not necessary. No, it's not necessary. And I don't even know when he brought that up. I just, I stopped reading the comics, Mike, a long time ago. So I didn't know what the hell you were talking about.
Starting point is 01:01:03 Like, so when, when it, um, like the other thing is, was watch, as I'm watching the Mandalorian and I realize something that too. And it's the thing, there's a problem that Mike had with it. And I got it more after being disconnected from Star Wars a little bit more, too, is that, that it really is a bad move to make everything so connected to the animated series. Like, it's a, it's a really bad move. Sam didn't know what the hell was going on when, when, like, Asoka showed up.
Starting point is 01:01:26 I had to, I had to, once the episode was over, I had to explain to her that, you know, Soca was Anakin's apprentice or, or, or, or, uh, Padawan. And I had to explain this. I had to explain stuff about when, when, and then where is Thrawn? She's like, who the hell's Thrawn? And I had to explain that. And it's like, you know, we're not going to go back and watch it. the animated stuff. It's just too much of it and don't have time for it. And you shouldn't
Starting point is 01:01:51 rely on the audience to know all that stuff. And, and Asoka, she's going to be freaking lost because of all the rebel stuff. So I think it's, it's really, that was a, that was one of the really bad moves I think that Flonie made, I think. Um, but, you know, some of it worked. I mean, I think that they did, you know, the stuff that they did with Bocatan, I think the way that they, you didn't necessarily have to know all of her history. certainly helps if you do. Yeah. But I don't know. Um, fuzzy bubbles. It's crazy that Bernthall Holland is there in the two biggest movies. It's crazy. Yeah, it is for sure. And the way that they did that was nuts. Uh, Lil Yankee, happy Thursday. Chris Cruz,
Starting point is 01:02:32 Sam deserves all of the love miss car. What do you think of X-Men 97 season two so far and Cape Crusader season two and ninth Jedi? Oh man. I have, I'm only watching X-Men 97. I need to watch Cape Crusaders, season two. I got so excited to find out that that dropped. And I haven't watched any of Ninth Jedi. I'm a little behind you guys. So I will absolutely get back to you on those. But X-Men, freaking love it. I've really been enjoying it. Yeah. This makes no sense. No. There wasn't, the movie was not about Thanos. Thanos 1. And then they can't win into part 2, but it wasn't about Thanos. He was one of the, he was the main antagonist, but the movie was about them. It was about the Avengers about them trying to figure it out.
Starting point is 01:03:18 I'm talking about an actual villain story. Villain film. Infinity Four was not a villain film. The villain won. Empire Strikes Back. Villains win. But it's not a villain film. That's just, that's just incorrect.
Starting point is 01:03:33 You're talking Joker. The Joker, right. I didn't say, I didn't say that it did, that I literally said when I made that point, it happens every once in a while. But it doesn't happen all. And DC has Joker's, they're doing it with Clayface, right? DC can do that with villains and you can do a smaller movies, but the big huge movies, a Star Wars movie, very hard to do.
Starting point is 01:04:00 Very hard to do. Okay. Alexander Wilson, don't forget that Disney released, The Devil Wears Product too. That made $690 and $100 million budget. That made more than Project Hillmarion. Again, didn't say that the whole year of Disney was, a failure saying that they're big projects, these two things that they had, and those two, when you're running Star Wars, again, another Star Wars failure is a failure.
Starting point is 01:04:27 Another live action thing was a failure. So can they turn that around? Not their entire box office, just those two things. It's the doc, Doc. That's a love that. It's so great. Chris, look at fire. I miss Smets.
Starting point is 01:04:40 Once you back, yo. Smet's busy, yo. He's going to be, but he's been collaborating, talking back. back and forth with him. He's going to be back in September, for sure. Okay, let's see. Yoshimitsu, give me a live action black collagen. Chris and I say the same thing. There's a book adaptation with animatronic Gergi. How do you say Gergi? Gergi. I forget. From the Jim Henson Company, I would be their opening day. Yes.
Starting point is 01:05:08 Really, though, Chris, the thing is that that is not a property, though, that is so well known that you can see why they'd be scared. You just have to put together the ultimate team behind it. you have to market it in a way that it feels like a Game of Thrones kind of thing, that it feels like a Harry Pottery kind of thing. You know, it should feel like the answer to everyone kind of really enjoying like fantasy fiction right now and do a getting this adaptation, it's proper due. You got to really just push it as like a cool, adult or more adult, darker Disney film. Yeah, I agreed.
Starting point is 01:05:41 Adulter. What is wrong with me? I can't talk today. I would say me and you both. I'll just have one cup of coffee. Let's see. No food in that. That'll help for me.
Starting point is 01:05:50 Alexander Wilson, they don't need to sell Star Wars. Tony Gleroy's show you can make a great Star Wars movie and TV show when you hire great storytellers and not cartoon writers. Right. But you just kind of prove the point at the same time, right? The thing is Tony Glyroy ain't making those shows anymore. And from, again, not to just keep saying the same thing,
Starting point is 01:06:11 not that he didn't appreciate it, not that he didn't think that it was a well-made show. but from what I hear, people who make big decisions in Star Wars didn't think that Gilroy's show followed the Star Wars template. That's why you're not going to see a lot of that type of stuff again. So I agree with you.
Starting point is 01:06:28 Andrew to me is one of the best things that they've done hands down. But that's another reason why I think they should sell Star Wars if Starfighter doesn't hit the mark. Greenie from Oz. One day, hopefully Lucasfilm will adapt one of their novels or games one day. Good luck. Carlton Rudder. Also, thank you for donating to my Buy Me Coffee.
Starting point is 01:06:49 I appreciate you. Oh, that's great. That was really sweet. Carlton Rudder, thinking today, Christian, thank you so much, Carlton. I really appreciate that. Very nice of you. Madman. GTA trailer on Netflix, August 27th, later day on YouTube.
Starting point is 01:07:03 Oh, I'm telling you, Grant, that that's going to do really, really well. That's going to be fun. It's going to be crazy. It's one of the things that I'm actually thinking about trying to play that and doing like a, like a, do, you know, so I can't, I guess, you can't stream it on YouTube. We would have to be on Twitch or something, right? I think so, yeah. Yeah, or just take video footage of myself playing.
Starting point is 01:07:24 I don't know. Confessor T. Have you seen the trailer for your mother, your mother, your mother, Marischali's new movie? This trailer proves Disney fumbled the ball with him being played big time. I mean, he's a great actor. I haven't seen the trailer, but I saw that he's promoting it. That's when all that information Chris came out about him talking about Blade, from the promotion of this movie.
Starting point is 01:07:43 He's a great actor. He's wonderful. He's an Academy Award winning actor using a phenomenal guy. He should have been utilized. Yeah. So I have not seen the trailer though. Yeah, but it's one of those movies that I'll probably if I miss a trailer of top, I don't really like trailers these days because I don't, I have the luxury of the luxury being able to see screenings and stuff too. So when I don't have to watch a trailer for the channel, I like to go in blind to these movies and just be hit with what you know, like a surprise box of what I, but I know I'm aware of this movie, but I'm probably just going to watch this movie and not watch a trailer. Yeah. John D. X. Dragon, Cyclops casting is what I was waiting for the most. I love unknown
Starting point is 01:08:25 castings, and justs me to their films of their own. I have not seen before. So excited, my favorite X-Men. I agree with that. I like, I like that approach. Yeah. Yeah. John D. X. Dragon says, I hope the Kaylee Spainey rumor is true. Me, too. Such an underrated actress and deserves a lot of appreciation from her past work. talent. I really, really hope that she is rogue. I think that would be great casting. She's awesome. Have you, I mean, between what was the, what were the ones that the two that really pop out to me, a Romulus and, uh, and Civil War, but I know she's been a ton of other things. What are the other things that she's been in? Chris, you know her from. Let me see.
Starting point is 01:09:06 Have you seen any, either one of those movies? Definitely not Romulus. Civil War the Cirst Dunst one? Yes. She was in. Yeah, I saw that. Oh, I saw Priscilla too. Okay. Yeah, she was in Civil War. She was the main kid in Civil War. She was the one that they hired.
Starting point is 01:09:22 Yeah, yeah. So she was in Pacific Rim Uprising. She was in, oh, yeah, right. She was in the latest Knives Out movie, too, which she was great in as well. She's awesome. She'd be absolutely perfect. I'm with you there, John.
Starting point is 01:09:34 I hope that the rumors are true also. Samara 84. Remember, folks, Hugh Jackman was a complete unknown actor when he was hired. I want the same for the next Wolverine. Same page. You don't need a known actor for Wolverine. I'm with you. You really don't, especially you're going younger.
Starting point is 01:09:49 But I guess he could be a little older, though, right? It just depends on when the operation happened with him. Yeah. Yeah. If you do celebrity casting, I still vote like, oh, I still vote for Daniel Radcliffe, but I think it's more interesting to find, you know, a freshness. Yeah. Greenie from Oz, if you were ever, if you were to ever AID age of character,
Starting point is 01:10:09 it would have to be a cue with Wolverine considering Logan doesn't age, would be comic book accurate. Hugh. Yeah, but I think that they're going to, I mean, that's, that is the thing, though. I think that this Wolverine is going to be sticking around for a while, though, the huge acting one. I think he's going to cross over to the new universe. I wish I was wearing my glasses so I could do that.
Starting point is 01:10:28 Well, actually, because he does age just very, very slowly, incredibly slowly because we eventually get to old man Logan and stuff like that. Right. So they do have a little wiggle room here, but you do have to kind of work quickly and have have an actor who's stayed in top tier physical shape like jackman has yeah true oboe one canoli i love that uh and even the picture is is great too spider man will will it make more than doomsday it's certainly possible also hopefully kevin comes back soon we miss you smash yeah he's again he's just super busy but uh he's he's he's back in september he just his his schedule's all over the
Starting point is 01:11:06 map right now but we we actually talked about yesterday and he's like kevin's just such a humble guy. He's like, you know, if you need to replace me and you need and it's totally, I understand. I'm like, the door's open. It's your spot. When you get back, you're back. So he's coming back and it also gives me time like on certain Wednesdays that I can take off and shoot things too. So when he's back, he'll be back on Wednesdays. Um, okay, Samir 84. I have no idea who this kid Connor is. And I love that. I didn't know who Adam Driver was before he was Kylo and it sold me. Yeah, I mean, he wasn't, he was from girls and other things too, but he wasn't like a major, major name the way that he is now.
Starting point is 01:11:42 Yeah, it's true. Harvest K, watching Sam be so taken by the Ewox almost, almost redeems those little horrible merchandise murder bears in my eyes. She loved, loved the Ewox. Love them. Great. I thought they're adorable.
Starting point is 01:11:59 I don't hate him as much as everybody else does. I still would have rather them stick to the original plan. They should have went Kish and it should have been the wookies. The wookies taken out the empire, I would have been able to it makes sense. I mean, I get it.
Starting point is 01:12:12 The stormtroopers are idiots, but I mean, come on, rocks on the head and stuff too. It's dopey, but it's still great. I still love it. Vic, dude, 97, 440 Jules, Uncle Alert, thank you.
Starting point is 01:12:24 Luchera Roca is the hero that we all need, says Ron H. With his battle cry, evil does run 3,000, or 35,000 soup these nuts, ha ha, that's right, that's what you did. Let me tell you something while I'll ask you a question. Yep.
Starting point is 01:12:37 Hi, some support. work project today. See you later. Thank you the G-Man. Appreciate that. Christians, let me tell you something. Is, and I'll tell you why. That's definitely possible. I'll tell you why that is. Thank you, Sir George. Fire. Appreciate it. Samir. It's absolutely bonkers that this time, if not sooner, next week's Spidey brand new day will be over two billion. It's only two freaking weeks. Let's see. If not sooner next week, could it be two billion over? I mean, if it has the crazy, like, you know, 25% to 50% drop, or 29% to 50% drop, which is unlikely,
Starting point is 01:13:17 then yes, then it's a guarantee that I'll probably hit 2 billion really, really fast. But by this time next week, $2 billion, I don't know. What do you think, Chris? You think by this time next week? This time next week is ambitious. I feel like it's got the potential. to get really close. If it made 50%,
Starting point is 01:13:37 if it makes 50%, let's say it does 50% of worldwide, that means it'll make close to 500 millions, it'll make close to 200 by the time it gets there. So it will be at a close to 1.7 if it does 50%. So if it does 50%, then it can do 1.7, it would have to,
Starting point is 01:13:57 2 billion by the time you get to this time next Tuesday, it would have to do that crazy 29% drop that I'm talking about. Yeah, which I don't think it's going to do, but it would be crazy of it that. Corgi, 1,000 Jules. Thank you, Jacob. John Dextracken. Kit Conner is leading Alex Garland, Eldon Ring alongside Spaney.
Starting point is 01:14:16 Oh, there you go. A director that R&B doesn't miss. What's your favorite of Garland so far? Well, I'll tell you what. The fact that maybe he's, maybe now that that'll be something too, that they looked at me, they saw footage of it or they did not start shooting that yet. Maybe they start shooting it. but I don't know, maybe there's something to do that with Kaylee Spaney.
Starting point is 01:14:36 What do you, as far as Alex Carlin goes, I'm just going to go to his full list here. That's what I was doing too. He's got a, I think my favorite is still ex Machina, but let's see. Oh, I mean, yeah. Yeah. Innihilation, 20 years later, 20 years later, no, he, but he didn't, he didn't do that one, did he? He says 20 years. He did Dread?
Starting point is 01:15:00 That's what. Dread's fun. I'm going to see what he does. Alex Carland, 28 years, 20 days later and sunshine. Ex Machina, which is my favorite annihilation. I haven't seen it since I saw in the theater. Men, yeah, right, Civil War.
Starting point is 01:15:14 I like Civil War. I would, my favorite is ex Machina. Yeah, same. I still need to see never let me go. I read the book, but yeah. Iosha, you want to take off next one day and watch, PHM with Sam. I might take the whole day off next week.
Starting point is 01:15:31 Sam's out of town next week. So I might take Saturday, I might take next Wednesday off completely and just, and chill with the family. I've done that in a while. I am Jack's 1290. End game was great and set the record. Brand new day is also great.
Starting point is 01:15:43 Beat the record. If Doomsday is just as good, we'll even beat No Way Home opening weekend. If it's really solid and really great, it has an opportunity. It's got a chance. It does have a chance. If people really are,
Starting point is 01:15:54 because the difference, here's the huge difference in Doomsday's favor over Spider-Man, is that Spider-Rour, Man, we can pretty much assume there'll be another movie. But it's kind of not guaranteed. You're guaranteed to get a second part to Doomsday with Secret Wars. We already know it. It's already announced. So if it leads into a place where you can't wait to see the next one and you want to see it again to see the Easterer,
Starting point is 01:16:22 that has the advantage of, it's a two-part mini-series, basically. Hunter Vance. I don't know if this has been suggested for the Kickstarter yet, but how about a very limited tier where contributors can submit their own script and receive feedback from you and the director-producer? The only problem with that, Hunter, is the amount of time
Starting point is 01:16:42 that would have to be committed on that one. And then you get into legal stuff with solicited stuff and things of that nature. That one's a tougher one because what I don't want to do, I want to make sure that anything promised on this, that it is taken care of,
Starting point is 01:16:58 it's our obligation. We have to make sure that we get that done for you guys. What I don't want to do is, okay, there's a script that comes in and like, okay, I'm in the middle of whether it's shooting something for the channel or doing some of the pilot. And then you have to read Hunter's script. It's part of the thing. I'm like, oh, okay. And I'm sitting there. And what if I don't get to it in time? That makes me nervous because it's not that, that's not a no. It just makes me nervous. And let's say like 15 people do it. Now I'm going to read 15 scripts and I'm back at Silver Pictures. You know, it's like, it's like, it's one of these things where that's a tougher one. I, it's ambitious and I kind of like it.
Starting point is 01:17:33 But it's tough because I don't want to commit to that, especially with someone's passion. If I can't get to it, then I'm going to feel miserable. Hopefully that makes sense. What do you think, Chris? Do you think that would be something that's, that's a possibility? That's tricky. And that is a very time consuming thing. Right.
Starting point is 01:17:52 We always would joke over on Campia about everyone sending their scripts to Rob because people constantly just wanted him. to read scripts. It takes a long time. And also like, do you, do you then want, you want notes from all of us too? And the director and the producer, that's a lot of time taken from all of them. And then, you know, there are some legal issues too. Because if, if anything from your script ever resembles anything anyone else makes. Right. It's an unsolicited part. What's going to happen with that. I know. I know. So it's just, I appreciate that, Hunter. I just think that's a tougher one. Greenie from Maas. I'm glad Spitey's doing well.
Starting point is 01:18:27 Most relatable character for the superhero audience, that's very true. Always the underdog, real righteous, moral compass and all around. Good role model for the young folks. Spitey's the goat. It's hard to argue with that. Yeah. Cash John Bernthal's new Colombo. It's a joke, but it's also funny.
Starting point is 01:18:46 Yeah. Yeah, it's a joke, but it's also, you would be great Colombo. You'd be wonderful. Yeah. Arago. 4-5-1-2. Did you see the New trailer for Robert Pattinson's movie Primetime. Looks very interesting. I did not. No. No. Um, what's it about? Anime, anime, and I like that. Smet's games withdrawal is real. Chris, your hair looked great. Oh, thank you. This looks nice. Thank you guys. Yeah. Uh, Yoshimitsu. I love brand new day. We're going again for IMAX, but it had nothing to hype for Dooms Day. It made me really excited for the MCU.
Starting point is 01:19:19 X-Men, though. It was awesome. Yeah. I mean. I'm the same by what I'm in. Yeah. Yeah. Um, he is she 10 Jules. Thank you. Arago, instead of a Supergirl standalone movie, they should have had a movie on one of the bigger characters like Wonder Woman or even Batman going to the DC universe. Well,
Starting point is 01:19:37 you're singing the same tune. Supergirl again, taking a page of what we just said about, you know, Star Wars doing stuff. Supergirl should have either been a six-part, you know, um, series on,
Starting point is 01:19:48 on HBO. That should have been their series that they did that in Lantern. Supergirl series would have been great. And you put Superman on there and the back, And then you can really adapt the great graphic novel and it's not just kind of butcher it the way that apparently, I didn't read it, but from what I hear,
Starting point is 01:20:03 they just kind of butcher it. Yeah, it's kind of a slash job. Right? Yeah. Yeah. So, Joey, let me ask you something. Shit, and you know, it's a burnt all scene. Yes.
Starting point is 01:20:15 Joey, I want to email you probably today, by the way. Joey's going to be helping us hell with some stuff. Erygo, somebody made a hilarious comment in an article on Peter Parker ordering pizza, movie and said what a true New Yorker would order little seizures compared to the great pizza that's out there. Yeah, that was clearly a sponsor. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:20:33 Clearly a sponsor because I can tell you, even my daughter, who has now only been, my little one, who's only been in New York now two years, we were in, she was getting ready for bed, she brushing her teeth, and she looked over the side and saw the neighbor's head, she was, you guys eating dominoes, seen dominoes for, you got a pizza place up the street. she's eight so there's no there's no way that uh you know he and you know did you notice though that
Starting point is 01:21:01 he was he was laying on the new york accent a little thicker in this one oh yeah yeah it was much more present he was trying a little he was trying a little bit more in this one than he had in the past go pal with paramount set for a trial against the state attorney attorney general next spring little davy is out several more billion for the ticking fee yeah i mean it seems like you know it seems that they're willing to do that and I'm sure they probably had not ideal for them but I'm probably sure they were prepared for it. Your Shimitsu, in brand new day, what tuned to Jean Meek Frank Whistle when she was mind-trilling to plant bombs on the ball? It was super familiar Easter egg. I don't remember. I got to see it again, but I don't remember. Trey Porter, just
Starting point is 01:21:42 wanted to say hello. Today's my birthday. Happy birthday. Trey, turning 23. It's officially my Jordan year. I love that. It's a good. Oh, happy birthday. I get that reference. Yeah, Jordan year with an Iverson or photo rather um but yeah it's true uh yeah happy birthday man trey's been a wonderful support of the channel so thank you trey mr i crap and shits who can do a good mr macky from south park let ron h know drugs are bad okay the best i got this his song that's the best i love that song okay i can't get the actual lyrics let me see the what is uh song from
Starting point is 01:22:23 South Park, the movie. It's lyrics. Let me except if I get the lyrics because I absolutely love that song. It was really, really funny. What does he say? He says, oh, he didn't even show the whole thing. I can remember the rhythm of it, but I can't remember the actual lyrics. Whatever.
Starting point is 01:22:46 Great Radio Arloff. Thank you. Ron H. Chris, you did ask me about needing to be in a state for Hollywood. I liked a lot in any state. Gummy or no gummy, you're good to go. Thank you. Okay. Johnny B. Music and Mando and Grogu was bad. Ludwig's first L. I said the same. PLD doesn't agree, but I'm right.
Starting point is 01:23:04 I think it's so weird and blade runnery. It's not good. Wrong! Scared the shit out of me, you asshole. Ron H. I grow adulter every day. One day I'd be adulting. One day I speak pretty. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:23:21 day I will. One day. Iosci. Ten Jules. Thumbs up. Thank you. Kit Connor and Cooper Hoppin are lookalikes. I don't know about that. I think they kind of look very similarly. Just a little gingery. Yeah, to me, they look kind of significantly different. GX. Palau says, but I, I liked the choice of Cooper. I mean, I like him a lot, but I, but this guy to me looks a little bit more Cyclops than than Cooper does. Mitch Mack, 440 Jules, Uncle, or? Thank you. Mitch Mack. Did you know that Tim Burton worked on the black cauldron? I didn't. But it makes a lot of sense. Do you think he can be convicted to direct live action?
Starting point is 01:23:55 Don't hate me. I wouldn't want to see that. Me neither. It would be. I don't really want that. Tim Burton doesn't make other movies. He makes Tim Burton movies. Even Dumbo,
Starting point is 01:24:06 Dumbow didn't feel like a Dumbull movie. We feel like a Tim Burton movie with an elephant that flies in it. It just, you know. Exactly why he initially got fired from Disney as an animator. He worked on Black Cauldron. He worked on Fox Nound. And he couldn't get the eyes right.
Starting point is 01:24:17 They were Tim Burton eyes. Yeah. I wouldn't, I wouldn't want to see that. I just wouldn't because I think there was one movie what was it which is the movie it was I think it was called big eyes the one that he did right another one there was another movie he could I think it was called big eyes the one that with Amy Adams and Christoph Waltz I don't know if that was that was the only movie and and Pildy tell me if I'm getting that
Starting point is 01:24:40 title right but that was the only movie his that I saw that didn't feel like it was directed he's yeah it was big eyes but and it was the only movie that it was directed by him and I like that movie that you couldn't have guessed it was a Tim Burton movie. Any other movie he directs, you can guess just from a tree in the background that it's Tim Burton. This one you can do a little different too. It was, but you can still see, you could still see his stamp in there. And I like that movie as well. And I like, and I'm not saying that I don't like Tim Burton.
Starting point is 01:25:14 There's a lot of Tim Burton movies that I love, but I wouldn't want to see him do black college out. I'd want to see somebody, you know, do like a new kind of fantasy movie. you can make black collagen to like two or three movies yes yeah uh shea markell brand new day just renewed my hatred for dr strange who makes your top three list the most disappointing emcey i like dr strange dr strange makes my list yours and roxy's shay um let's see who do i do i dislike trying to think in the i don't know most disappointing trying to think of what i don't know i have to go through i have to go through
Starting point is 01:25:51 the list. I'm not sure. Let's go through the list. Running on empty. MCU obsession with British actors continues, but honestly, with that director attached, X-Men shaping up to be mid at best or a total flop or worst, you're crazy. You're a crazy person. I appreciate your opinion, but you're a crazy person. So, yeah, the, I mean, I really like Shire a lot. I think he's, I think he got the tone within Thunderbolt. So what was, you know, that feel is kind of what you want from X-Men. So, and I also think shaping up, I mean, I think it's shaping up to be the opposite. Running on empty, I'll, I will absolutely 100% throw a bet down that you are wrong on that one.
Starting point is 01:26:32 X-Men's going to be one of their biggest movies, for sure. Alexander Wilson. British actors, you got to remember, they're filming most of the stuff now in England. Marvel's moved almost all production from Atlanta to over to the UK. A lot of places are doing that. Yeah, it's true. Alexander Wilson, the rumors came out that Flonny didn't want to make Starfighter, and he got overruled.
Starting point is 01:26:51 by Iger and Kennedy thoughts. Oh. So you go ahead and feel the. I have very few scoopers in the business connections, but I have a connection that is not true at all. But it basically, Faloni merely voiced concerns about another lone wolf and cub story. Like it was kind of like it more of like a,
Starting point is 01:27:12 we want to make this kind of story again, but not like against it. It wasn't like it was like visiferously against it, right? He's just saying that we're just doing the same thing again. We just did Mando and Grugoo kind of thing. are we doing that again with Ryan Gosling and. Right. So he spoke up about it. I mean, that's, well, I mean, look, we'll see, we'll see by the, at the end, you know, what happens when it comes out. So that's like, there's, there's, there's
Starting point is 01:27:33 no thoughts on it yet, because we haven't seen the movie. So if it comes out down the line that he was adamant about it and he didn't want to do it and it stinks, then it's going to look good for him. It turns out that it's awesome and it's their biggest hit. And he says, I didn't want to do it. Then that's not going to look good for him. So I don't know. Yeah, I don't have any thoughts on it. Chris, how do you feel about it? Yeah, exactly that. It's, I feel like it's a pretty measured response, too, of, is this the same movie? Okay.
Starting point is 01:28:00 Right. I guess we'll make it then. Right. It's like, I mean, did he say, hey, hey, listen, we've done something like this. Everybody cool with that? Okay, great. We're doing that. Fine.
Starting point is 01:28:10 Who are we getting? What are we doing? If we're going to do that, we need to do this. So that's one particular thought. So unless the rumors are true, maybe, again, I don't know who peeled these. scoopers are, but like maybe if the rumors are true that he was adamant about his I don't want to do this and this is a bad move, then that's another question. Again, we don't know the movie.
Starting point is 01:28:32 So it's hard to say. More stuff should probably come out than the line. I haven't heard anything though. Jay Morgan, new Sleepy Hollow adaptation with Sidney-Sweeney as Katrina Van Tassel is in the works. Also, NFL's on tonight. I know you're watching. Chris, are you going to be watching the NFL tonight? No, I did not know there was a game.
Starting point is 01:28:49 There you go. Who's playing? What color are we rooting for? What color are we rooting for? Who's playing the sports bowl? Yes. Beagle Studios, I saw Marvel might be doing two special presentations for 2027.
Starting point is 01:29:00 If they go this route over live action shows, could it work out for them? Thoughts? I think that's a better way to do it. Similar what we were just talking about with movies. It's like Punisher, great. You throw it in it, great.
Starting point is 01:29:11 And if you did watch it, it helps you with brand new day, and it gives you a little bit more inside of the Punisher. You didn't, you can go back and watch it, and it's not an investment, have to watch like seven episodes you watch one so i think that's smart i think it's the way to do it yeah um alexander wilson also the rumors and peel the don't me if you hear anything about this the rumors are that osoka season two has been a production hell and missed deadlines and they had to
Starting point is 01:29:36 delay it to 2027 thoughts sorry uh no abduction hell uh they had to lay it for various reasons and more like marketing things and everything else it wasn't a production hell they wanted to make sure they got it right that's all it was wasn't like a big deal which is kind of like just make sure it gets the visuals up and we'll push it back just early here is the big deal though this is the big deal um the even if if a hundred percent if there's no production hell and it has been delayed the head of your company is the showrunner of a television show and is not available all the time because he's on set that is what was yeah that's why it was delayed a little bit they kind of yeah that's more likely than a production hell
Starting point is 01:30:15 yeah it's more likely that the guy who's running your company is a show runner for a show coming out So that's an issue. That's a problem. And he's writing the whole thing. And it's like the same in the same way that where gun would pretend gun was, you know, the difference is gun is doing the movies that he's working on. But he's taking the meeting. You can't be on set doing a show right now. And look, and he knew.
Starting point is 01:30:40 And this wasn't like, ah, well, he didn't know. This has been in the works for him taking over for a while. This is why he gets so. Asoka's mine. Asoka's mine. I can't, nobody else can touch it. He wrote the whole series again. That's a bad sign that he wrote the whole series again.
Starting point is 01:30:57 He's not a good writer. He's a good storyteller. Terrible writer. Good story. It's a good storyteller, though. Like Lucas. Like Lewis, yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:31:06 Anyway, Hunter Vance, seeing brand new day again this weekend with a huge crew, was a struggle finding a showing with enough decent seats to Juggernaut. It really is. Yeah, how was your seats when you saw it, Chris? Not too bad We were in like the third row Because I had to I had to just wait because of my schedule to get tickets But it took us it took us a while to find something though
Starting point is 01:31:29 That was decent Yeah We're just so lucky that we're here in L.A so I can ping around to a whole bunch of different AMCs That's that's a good point Bobby if they kept Jackman as Wolverine How super creepy would it be for having him have a thing for the MCU Green Jays? That's true That's true
Starting point is 01:31:46 They're going to keep him though Bobby but I don't think he's going to be involved with the kids. I think he's going to be like, you know, that's why they, that's the one, I wouldn't even think about this, Chris. You know what's going to happen? This is going to happen. And I just thought of it and I hate that it's going to happen, but it's going to happen. Because of everything that's probably going to happen in battle world and everything else too, each new X-Men will be set up. It is going to be about Gene Gray and Cyclops. But Hugh Jackman's going to be involved some way or another in that new X-Men movie to transition them. And then that allows us to not meet the new Wolverine for a little bit.
Starting point is 01:32:18 probably right and then it'll be this wistful moment of just like no i knew a version of you yeah not you i know uh anyway alexander wilson christian i remember back in the day you were a huge proponent of phloony running star wars i was can you explain why you felt that way back in the day listen from what his like i said his storytelling is is second to none and when i was watching um rebels and Clone Wars and everything too. It furthers my point now. I think that he should be running animation and they should be doing more animated stories.
Starting point is 01:32:58 They should be doing more adult animated stories as well. They should be doing stuff like arcane in the Star Wars world, right? They should be doing that and he should be the guy running it. He runs it really, really well. I thought back in the day because of his understanding of Star Wars, I didn't know how at the time, how, and just things that I I've heard of how tight he, you know, he's just too much of a gatekeeper with the way he thinks things should be and doesn't really understand the overall. He doesn't have the experience of other people that are in the industry.
Starting point is 01:33:31 He's too green inside of this being an executive to run this project. And when you see the stuff that he has done that has transitioned, it just feels like live action cartoons. And it doesn't, and that doesn't transfer over all the time. Yeah. Some people do it well, right? Yeah. Lord understand those different mediums really, really well. And I never want to besmirch like if you are an animator or that's your thing, stay in your lane.
Starting point is 01:33:57 Because that's something they've spoken about at length of that's what you get told in animation school and everything too. Maybe one day you'll graduate to real movies. So it's always, and this is for actors, this is directors, this is writers. You have to know your medium and you know have to know how you switch between it. And if you are excellent at one of those mediums, there's nothing wrong with staying in that lane. And I will say he did, and I just watched, there's quite a few episodes in Mandalorian season one and season two that he directs and does, and does a good job for sure. And same thing with Favro, but then you, Favro, I love Favre. I didn't, I, Mandeleine and Grigua might be my least favorite John Favre directed film.
Starting point is 01:34:36 That's fair. It just, it just doesn't have that kind of same kind of magic that his other stuff has had. What's your favorite? It's either elf or the first Ironman or Chef, I think. Let me see. I really like Chef a lot. Chef's my favorite. Yeah, that would be up there. Let's see.
Starting point is 01:34:55 I'm going to see which ones in general. Iron Man is really solid. Chef is up there. Iron Man 2 is, I don't hate it as much as everybody else. I actually do like Iron Man 2, but it wouldn't be my favorites. Elf, definitely. Jungle Book, I really like Jungle Book. I really like Jungle Book.
Starting point is 01:35:13 Lion King, not as much. But what he did in general is here, let's see, the lowest one, if you look at the big ones that he did, Maid, I didn't love Maid. He didn't direct Swingers. That was Doug Lyman, right? He, I wrote it.
Starting point is 01:35:28 But Maid, the Cowboys and Aliens that's lower on there. Yeah, I would say that Mainlor and Grogu is probably, I never saw Zuthora, but I would say that mainlanderno and Grogu is probably my, my least favorite John Favre movie and then um he's athera it's just it's Jumanji but space okay um yeah did he I don't think he directed PCU did he did he did he direct PCU I don't think so I don't
Starting point is 01:35:55 think he directed PC I think he was in it maybe maybe you're right but I don't think he did um anyway all right let's uh 85 questions right now and doing pretty good Sean wakeb waiting patiently for Sam to stop you the next time you ambush her it's only a matter of time she tried once. You are so lucky that her fight or flight is not crazy. Like I can't go to Hollywood horror nights because I'll clock somebody. So you, I don't get close.
Starting point is 01:36:19 I don't get close. But, you know, yesterday, yesterday I got her again. I haven't posted it yet. But like, and this is the best. Chris,
Starting point is 01:36:28 I was literally just sitting on the couch. I was just sitting on the couch with the camera. She opened up. I went, and I wasn't hiding this time. That's the noise you made too. I do that's the noise I make in every video. It's a shot.
Starting point is 01:36:42 Usually you like appear though. No, no, no. Yeah, but but you listen to everyone I scare her with. I say, I say Hashan, every single one. Michael D. Speaking of Alex Garland, I think you and Tina should do a reaction to men stirring.
Starting point is 01:36:55 Jesse Buckley came out in 2022, not for the squeamish. I can't find, I love watching movies with Tina. I can't find a movie that hits with the two of us for the life of me. I every movie we've done have just eaten complete and utter dog shit I got to find something got to find some uh shame arkell I've been enjoying seeing people's highlight reels of Peter his 15 year old varsity Avengers member that small potatoes line started some shit it did uh hunter totally understand about
Starting point is 01:37:23 the script thing I'll be in the Kickstarter either way I've been a fanc in 2015 thank you hunter I really appreciate that and um look we're gonna be need we're going to rely on you guys like I told you know my my wife is like I was said we're putting everything I can into this thing. We're going to do something probably with the family next week because come September, my entire life is just this project. That's it. I'm going to be here every single day as long as I can just trying. Because we want to get this made for everybody, for you guys, for us, obviously, for everything we're going to be doing. And I want to prove, I'm just tired of people doubting that my team, me, I'm just, I'm just tired of it. I just want to do it. I
Starting point is 01:37:58 wanted to say like, you know, let's just do it all together and take the doubt away because we have the power to, you know, so that starts in September. So we're appreciating. And if people can start putting questions soon, again, any questions you have, like I said, the most important thing for me to, as I'm doing kind of like a focus group is kind of similar to what Hunter just did before, right? If you have questions about potentially what you'd want to see in the Kickstarter, what it is that if you were planning already on donating, what you would want to see at a certain tier, what you would say, oh, you know what if it was at this, this tier might even actually do that. If you are on the fence, well, I'm on the fence, but if you offered this, I might do it.
Starting point is 01:38:41 Or if it's stuff about the story, if it's stuff about team, if it's a stuff about anything in general, please put your thoughts in there. And like I said, I've been highlighting questions at the end of the super chance. GX pal, I want Peter to move in with Ned and MJ after being evicted in Spider-Man 5 and sleep on their couch. Also do a New York gang war with Fisk and go full dark night. I mean, I wonder if they're going to do anything with, I mean, because Daredevil season, I liked the last air devil, but it didn't do very well on Netflix. It was wild. On Netflix, Disney Plus.
Starting point is 01:39:10 Yeah. It didn't do very well. Yeah. It was a great season. How do you feel about that? Do you think that they're going to do in season three, that's probably going to be the end of it? Yeah. I think so.
Starting point is 01:39:22 I think that'll be the conclusion of that story. And I enjoy the idea of them interacting with Fisk and everything like that. But I don't know. I don't know if they'll do it because obviously it's not connecting with audience. is. I know. I hope that it did. Well, one more season, maybe they can just end it. Noel Austin, did you hear that Faluny put Thrawn and rebels without even consulting to him of these on beforehand? Actually, I don't think that's true at all. No, it's not true. No, it's not true. No, that one, that one, that one, don't worry, Pilsie. I got you. Just the immediate head shake bubble. No.
Starting point is 01:39:55 No, that one I remember even from celebration. I remember, I remember Zon's, because that was one of the few things that celebration was such a letdown because the rogue one stuff wasn't put together and the only thing that really delivered during that celebration was the the rebels panel and the the announcement of throng they announced them inside of that panel itself and i remember zon saying that phlony kind of reached down to him to talk about it so that's exactly what happened right even did and even actually got him to write the new thron cannon stuff as like a tie yeah yeah yeah so i don't i don't think that's true uh at least not what i what i've heard Ron H, respect my authority to nugget up.
Starting point is 01:40:33 There you go. How can I interview Chris Carr? 10 minutes top, says movie guru. Movie guru, what kind of stuff do you do? Because every now and then I pop on on other people's podcast, but I just have to, you know, have the time and also, you know, align with the kind of content you do. That's a great answer. And pick a little.
Starting point is 01:40:50 Patinson plays to catch a predator host Chris Hansen in prime time. Oh, wow. Looks like they're going the night crawler route. Love that show. Hanson is a goat. Oh, wow. That's interesting. I remember hearing that they were going to make a movie about this.
Starting point is 01:41:00 Interesting. I like, I really do like Patterson. I really do. He's great. Yeah. Little Wonders, 91, 200 Jules, Sunshine. Thank you. Yoshimitsu.
Starting point is 01:41:10 Black Cauldron is book two out of five. I read them when I was eight, but they were dark enough that Robert Evers will be a good fit for an adult version. Wow. That's a whole different round. That's a whole different round. I don't know if Disney would be down with that, but sick. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:41:24 Does Disney still own them, the books? Probably not at this point. That's another question. 1987. Sometimes they hold on to the rights for these things. Sometimes they hold on to them, especially if they made a movie out of them. They might hold on to the rights just because of maybe making a movie out of it.
Starting point is 01:41:39 But like, if they made a series out of Percy Jackson, why don't I make a series out of Black Cauldry? Yeah. Right? Nathan Drake, next for Sam's, the Star Wars holiday special in EWalk movies. No, Bibiani love them, right?
Starting point is 01:41:54 They must be great. That's the contrarian thing in Bibiani. Those are the best Star Wars movies ever. I'm like, get the fuck out of here. The one that we are going to watch, and I didn't mention before. We're watching season one of Mandalorian, season two. Then we're going to watch the two episodes of Bobafet
Starting point is 01:42:11 that is essentially Mandalorian 2.5. And then we're going to go into season three. Because you can't, you can't go into season three without watching those episodes. You won't know what the hell's going on. Yeah. News dropped today, a live action Jetson movie from Winter Brothers starring Jim Carrey.
Starting point is 01:42:28 That's been out. That's not news. That's live action Jetson. That came out. Maybe the Jim Carrey aspect of it is new. But the live action, we talked about it on this show not too long ago, right? I don't know. Pieldy, am I wrong? To me.
Starting point is 01:42:45 I don't know if there were an official about Kerry being about. Not Carrie, not Kerry, but a Jetson live action movie, that's not news. But it was the announcement that Jim Carrey is going to be involved. Okay, that makes sense. Okay. Ron H. running on three to four five hours of sleep. Going to nap now, bye. Thank you, Ron.
Starting point is 01:43:01 I'm a man. Appreciate it. Keltrick, Pickens. As a diehard DC fan, I love the comments from Zazov this morning. One failure at the box office does not cause to pull the fire alarm. DC as a brand can't afford to reboot again. Stay the course. That I don't disagree with at all. You can't reboot again.
Starting point is 01:43:18 If you try to reboot again, you've got to put it on the shelf for like five years. People are just going to be sick of it. And he's another Superman? Oh, my God. I'm with you. You got to stay the course and you can't, you can't bail after one movie.
Starting point is 01:43:33 Couldn't agree more. All right, Armada, A-YT. Thank you for the donation. I really appreciate that. I've been trying to spread the gospel of Halloween to my friends. None of them know who Kevin Smith is, but they do love the weed. It's funny.
Starting point is 01:43:46 Kevin Smith is. I did check out where it is, the Hollywood pilot and what's hilarious on the pilot. The first, like, five comments are Ron A-T. just sent me here. Which is absolutely hilarious. That's fantastic. Yeah. Greeny from Oz. Jason Alexander Feet here for the show.
Starting point is 01:44:05 Hey, any idea how much that would be? I honestly wouldn't have any clue with the show. What does that mean? Jason Alexander fee tier for the show. This has come in before. And I don't understand. Is he is, is Jason Alexander tied to this show? I don't know what that means.
Starting point is 01:44:18 I don't know. What is it? Jason Alexander fee tier for the, oh, well, I guess it means something along the lines of like, if you have to find, I think it, Jason, or Greenie, tell me if, if I'm wrong, but I think you're saying basically, I'll donate enough, but you have to make an offer to Jason Alexander. Is that what you're saying?
Starting point is 01:44:37 If that's the case, find out what his rate is. And, you know, for the character Vince, he'd actually be perfect. So, um, yeah, if you can, if you find out what Jason Alexander's fee is and you donate his fee, yeah, sure. Yeah. Can't guarantee him from the show is what he said. Okay. I can't guarantee you that he's going to say yes and that, you know,
Starting point is 01:44:56 you're, that, that casting, that, that fee of his is probably going to go to someone else. That, I mean, that, that's how it would work. But, but, but you know what? The thing is, Greeny is that there is that the entire, the entire Kickstarter is essentially, you know, fees, like for actors. Like, when you get to a place, not the entire thing, that's, that's not, that's not accurate. But like, when you get to a place where, what we're trying to do, and we overshute our goal, and we get to a place where, and we get to a place where, It's like, well, what happens if you go 100 over? Then I can make offers to even, you know, other people that I didn't think were in range.
Starting point is 01:45:34 You know, it's like that's the thing. We have the budget that we have. You look at things in the same way, like, okay, so-and-so, we can go after so-and-so, we can go after so-and-so, we can go after so-and-so. And you have an opportunity and not just with that. I can go after the DP that I didn't think I can get with the fee. I can go after those editors that I didn't think I could get because I didn't have the fee. I can use that music that I didn't think I would be able to license.
Starting point is 01:45:54 That's where the budget comes in. said this the other day that one of the things, Chris, that people don't realize how fast money just burns. I'm going to L.A. to film like pictures, promotionals, a video,
Starting point is 01:46:08 and some other things for the Kickstarter. And that's put me in between and we're treating one to two grand. And that's the Kickstarter. That's not even the show yet. So it goes like that. And, you know,
Starting point is 01:46:24 it's just so people, I think most people, people have understood that that that that's the stuff cost money to to make uh deedlet chris are you excited for the is it neurotu how do you how do you say Naruto Naruto I'm concerned how they condense a two-hour movie from so much lure but Destin Daniel creton is directing that's exciting so I think I've mentioned this before on the show this is where my geek card gets taken away because I've not watched a single episode wow okay and so I need to watch some of that first but anything that Dustin is attached to right now I am
Starting point is 01:46:55 incredibly excited about. He's a wonderful director. And I always hear good things about this anime. And so it's one of those ones that I definitely need to add to my watch list. Right now I am burning through Black Clover and Shang Rala, in addition to new stuff that's come out
Starting point is 01:47:09 like Sparks of Tomorrow and Shadow Us of the Damon Realm. So I will add that to the list, though. Shane Markell. Are we still avoiding brand new day spoilers? I mean, I'd like to try to do that. I mean, we did spoiler conversation about it already, but I'd like to, I mean, even though everybody
Starting point is 01:47:25 and their mother seems to already have seen it already. I think we just wait like one more week before we really just start openly. I mean, people already been kind of doing it in some of the chats. But Jay Morgan, you guys interested in Chris Hansen to catch a predator film of Robert Pattinson? I didn't even know it was a thing until somebody just said it a little while ago. Yeah. Now I'm interested. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 01:47:43 Nathan, is Domino's cheaper the most New York pizza? Yeah, when you put cardboard on a box and throw tomato sauce and cheese on it, it's going to be cheaper. 200 Jules, Jammin, says, LBSK-O-2. Thank you. Turn it up. 800 Jules. Thank you, Timothy Gibson. A few more left. And you guys start putting your questions in now, if you have them, for anything regarding the project. PLD, Ed Harris,
Starting point is 01:48:05 feet here for the show. You know, the one person that would be great for him is, but it wouldn't be for the pilot. It would be, I already told you, like, my dream casting is for Clancy Brown to play my pops. My dreamt guy down the line. That would be my dream casting. Greenie from Oz.
Starting point is 01:48:24 what about the digital day lewis feet here yeah sure that that's the entire budget i yushimit saw a brand new day guy sitting next to me at the end looks over the actor that plays punisher he's good they should do more with him last punisher they used was from rocky i had to bring up to speed right it's because people because not everybody's as tuned in to everything you know so um yeah this is hilarious this is saul i remember the first time there was a schmoe down in new york people were hung out and Ellis ordered Dominoes. It's so on brand for Alice. So on brand on there.
Starting point is 01:49:00 He wouldn't do it now, though. He wouldn't do it now. Like I took him, I took him to a place on the island, actually, that he loved, absolutely loved the pizza I took him to, but I didn't even take him to my favorite spot yet. So when he's doing, no, that reminds me.
Starting point is 01:49:12 It's a good time to plug this. Tickets are going pretty fast. And they're almost gone. So hopefully people, if you want to go and check it out, you're going to go. myself, Jen Sturger and Mark Ellis are going to be performing on October 8th with Kyle Lewis. If you've been to speaking of Shmowdown for some of those New York shows, he performed with Mark and Jenny's a really funny dude. I like Kyle a lot.
Starting point is 01:49:35 It's a great guy. So you can get the tickets. The links are in the description here. But if you're going to be in New York or in New York area, you should get them now because they are going quick. And the other thing I didn't show you, Chris, is you know, I took my wife to see on Broadway. We went to see Chicago. Yeah. Look at these seats.
Starting point is 01:49:52 Damn. It was awesome. It was really good. We had a good time. It was incredible. Yeah, it was a good time. Those two are really, really great.
Starting point is 01:50:00 All right. Let's say, let me put those back up there. There's anything else here? I'm going to make sure. I'm just, I'm looking and want to make sure there's, oh, here,
Starting point is 01:50:09 okay. It was cool to see that, not to poster in Ned's room in the beginning of brand new day. I guess Destin is ready to get that movie in theaters. I didn't even think about that. That makes sense. Oh, that's a cute little Easter egg.
Starting point is 01:50:19 That's awesome. Do I call him Yoshimitsu? Isn't it? Oh, okay. Ioshi Umatsu. I'm a Yoshimitsu. I kind of want to do, now I want to call me Yoshimitsu. Sorry, Yoshi.
Starting point is 01:50:34 There you go. Let's see. Sam. Thank you, Sam. Thank you to Sam and MK for doing the time codes, by the way. For the 20-hour pilot live stream, if a co-host joins, can you consider having Amy Newman join, whatever section, Chris, if she's down? Yeah, sure. I'll have to ask her, but I'm sure she would be down.
Starting point is 01:50:50 That would actually, that would be fun though, too, Chris, if I mean, look, I'm probably going to be pretty tired from some of this stuff too. Like if you guys, I mean, because we could do something the three of us together and then maybe you guys can take over for a little bit. And like you guys can do some voiceover stuff and other things. So we could just run the whole thing for that day. And I would love that. Yeah, that'd be great. Because she's great. She's a stand up.
Starting point is 01:51:10 She's so freaking funny. If you guys don't know. It's a great idea. It's a great idea. Jay Morgan. I'll not leave you here. I've got to save you. You already have.
Starting point is 01:51:19 Gets me every time. Love standard reaction. So wholesale. I loved our reaction too, but this time, in the attack of the clones thing, there was a screw up with the editors. And they sent the wrong cut. I screwed up the return of the Jedi edit.
Starting point is 01:51:32 And I'm so mad and I can't do anything about it now because it's already been out there and I don't want to mess with it. My editing system recently, for some reason, because what I do is I get the cut from them and then I'll put in, you know, I put in the ads. I trim out some of the fat and I put up the edited version. And so my editing system just started doing this thing that right after I put the
Starting point is 01:51:49 break in there, the ad break, it's been trimming off the first couple, like three minutes of the clip that comes after it. And I don't know why it's doing it. And it cut off the whole damn scene with Vader, just telling the, the imperial that the emperor was coming. I'm like, oh, no, but the editors did mess up and they cut out the scene with the, with Luke telling Leah about being a sister or whatever, too, but that's why, you know, that's why you become a member. And you look at the unedited stuff. Um, Alex, hey, Chris, do you ever keep in contact with camp you. Not really, but no ill will there. Yeah. Okay, fair enough. Ed, thank you, Ed, got his tickets. Oh, man, depends on where you're going to go, Paul. Depends where in New York, in the city,
Starting point is 01:52:32 in the village, you can't go wrong in the, in, um, different Prince Street. It's a good place. There's a bunch of, uh, what's it called, uh, oh, shoot, there's quite a few in the village. And then depends where you're going to go in if, in Queens or Long Island, it just depends where you're going to go. Um, okay, let's see. I'm looking. I'm looking. There's Philly. There's a big one there from Philly.
Starting point is 01:52:54 Saw you two and Aaron from Real Rejects on the big screen yesterday at my local cinema. What? Oh, it was for the upcoming screen and Transformers and movie and it showed reactions to Optimus. That's awesome. That's awesome. Yeah, I remember when they asked us if they could use that for promotion and stuff. That's cool. That's really cool.
Starting point is 01:53:13 I love that. That's amazing. Thank you, Philly. Did you love that movie? I feel like you really like that movie. I had so much fun. Yeah. I really liked it.
Starting point is 01:53:22 I'm still so blown away that they just killed an optimist. I was like, what the hell is this? 100%. Chat, GBT, GBT said Jason's 50K per episode. Let's do it. Spoilers. Oh, because they movie came out in a thousand years ago. 1980.
Starting point is 01:53:41 So, yeah, listen, this is kind of, this is, even though you goofing, this is kind of an idea so people know what we're asking. Like, we're trying, like, myself and Martina are going to be the two people that, two leads, you're not going to have to pay them anything. Everybody else around them that if you want to get people to notice the show that you do know, you're going to have to pay them. So that's kind of where, when you're wondering, like, oh, they're asking for this.
Starting point is 01:54:04 Why? This is a perfect example. And there's roles. And it also depends, you know, and Jason's probably 50K per episode for, like, a role where he's like maybe the lead or something, though, too. This is going to be something where it's, this this particular role it would be like a one day shoot for him um so there you go um that's funny if there's 24 hours we get to see a sleep camp i don't know if i'm going to be able to do the 24
Starting point is 01:54:30 hours but i'm definitely going to be able to do like you know six in the morning until i don't know maybe maybe one in the morning which is still pretty pretty long um but i don't know but i won't be able to i don't know if we'll do 24 hours it's going to be tough um let's see you new york pizza snobs just kidding no i am there's no kidding about it it's totally true so joseph ashley are there any filmings for flashbacks on in new york not in this episode not in this episode and it wouldn't even necessarily be flashbacks like there could be things that that happen in the future in new york but but the first one's all l a brian o'neill singled i'll do you one better for you is chris car harlop hell has no fury like a woman prank what would you like on your tunestone love
