He's still proud of that one.

Rise of Skywalker. Apparently it costs almost $600 million. So we'll be discussing those stories and some more on a light newsday here today on this Thursday, myself and Steph Sabra. eventually right now it's me so that being said everybody uh thank you for being here with us on the christian harlough show on this thursday let's get into it here we go what's going on everybody uh i am here with you today on christian harlough show i appreciate it so i uh i was just the reason we're a little late today i was just shooting dunkirk was Sam, we did, what was the one that we, we did Interstellar, which will be out tomorrow. We'll have Dunkirk on Tuesday. I guess at this point, right, we should just finish up Nolan.

I know that tenant's going to be, we're definitely going to put subtitles on for tenant. I'll tell you that. And then I don't know if I've only seen, have I only seen that movie once? I feel like I've only seen that movie once. And then Oppenheimer, I was like, can you really react to Oppenheimer? But I guess at this point, we're all in. might as well just stick with it and we'll uh we'll do that so uh we did we did them basically almost all them and then i don't know where we're going after that i mean i know there's so many different

movies that sam hasn't seen and i know we have the x-win movies we have the hobby movies we still got to do we have star wars we have um um wicked she's going to watch we have there's really a lot of movies she hasn't seen yet i'm thinking i don't know if i should jump into fincher yet um So we're trying to figure out where to go with her next. Because there are so many things. I went, yeah, I watched Insomnia. I did all that stuff. So we did, we did a lot.

We did a lot. I know I thought about doing Harry Potter next, but the only thing with Harry Potter is we were thinking about holding it until the series was coming out and getting closer when the series is coming out. So it might be actual, I don't know, and she hasn't seen a lot of Denyville News movies. I don't know. There's a lie. Maybe some Tarantino stuff. I don't know where we're going to go yet. But we still have about three more movies left. Now, Steph and I just put out our commando reaction. Please go and check that out today. We're probably going to be running man next as it leads into the new running man. Very different. Obviously, they're staying more to the story. And I think that the story from Stephen King. And I think that the Arnold one kind of went off into another.

Another spot there. Cougar movies, she's seen a lot of them. She's seen the, she's seen Creed 1 and Creed 2. She's seen, I don't know if she saw Fruit Dahl Station, but she saw Black Panther and Black Panther too. So she's, she's seen all Cougar stuff, really, except for Fruit Bell Station, which that's, I mean, that's a, that's a tough watch in general. So I don't know about that one. I'm not sure about that one. So we're going to think about it.

You got to think about which ones. I mean, now the Jordan Peel movie, she might not have seen. She might not have seen Get Out. She might not have seen us. Those are interesting ones to potentially do. And we might even go back and do Werewolf by Night because she never saw that one. We said we'd do that closer to the holidays.

So a lot of cool stuff happening, guys, on the channel and everything too. I've got we have the pilot kind of moving. And I think that really, really soon we're going to be able to announce I think I told this on the show that Roxy was on. The goal is to announce the Kickstarter goals and announce the director and producer on the stream and then some of the stuff that they're able to offer as well on side of it. Anyway, so I'm excited to bring that to you guys. It's been really, really a fun journey thus far.

All right. Let's get into. the story, the news stories, we wait for Steph. Now, where is Steph? Let's see. What did she say? She said, oh, I saw that. Okay. She texted me, but I was already recording at the time. So, all right, here it is. This is the first story.

He-Man, as I said, I was going to talk about He-Man, as we got closer to it. You guys know, well, maybe you don't. But I have a lot of history with the He-Man franchise. Mattel Studios, the production company offshoot of the toy brand, Mattel, Hit it out of the park with its first major feature, which was Barbie, which grossed over 1.4 billion of the global box office. Now, Intel Studios president, Robbie Brenner, appeared at MIPCOM Can, 2025 this week, where she discussed their upcoming second feature, which is the new live action, Masters of Universe film.

Directed by Travis Knight, film is a live action take on the famed heman, Toiland, and cartoon. Brenner tells how the reporter she visited the set of surprise by the scale of production. She said I went and visited the set last year. And out of all of the movies that I've worked on in my entire life, even Barbie, it was the biggest. It was massive. I think we took over two or three sound stages. This was on eight back lots.

Characters walking around that are eight feet tall, these are crazy characters in this movie. She also confirmed that she recently viewed an early director's cut of the film, which is still very much in the midst of post-production. She said I actually just got to see a director's cut of the movie. That will be our second theatrical movie. I think it's a perfect compliment to Barbie. I think people are going to be excited.

It's so much fun and feels so different. Nicholas Gallaudesign leads the cast of the film as Prince Adam. Heiman. Camilla Mendez is Tila, Idris Elba as Duncan. I keep forgetting about that. Alison Brie, Marina Bacharin, and Jared Littus Great Cast. Also starring James Perfoy. The film opens theatrically worldwide on June 5th, 2026.

I'm just so cautiously, cautiously optically. Because the reason I am optimistic and I say this each and every time is because of Travis Knight. Travis Knight and what he did with. Not only Kubo and Two Strange, which is a great movie, but what he did with Bumblebee, I still think live action, bumblebee is the best Transformers movie that they've done so far is the most true to the actual line. And what they did in the opening of that movie was incredible. I think he's great. I don't love certain things that they're already playing,

you know, to the changing some of the lore and changing the, but I have to see how it's put forward. I want to see how a tournia looks. If the imagery from Skeletor is indeed fact, I don't like the way he looks, and it looks really creepy, horror movie type shit and doesn't look great. But again, let's see how it is. But I am optimistic because of Travis Knight,

and it's a good cast. So the fact that this big production set, I mean, that's great. That doesn't necessarily mean to be a good movie. But I wonder what Steph Soprault. What do you think about this? Hi. Okay, so I was thinking when I was reading the article

and I was seeing some of the comments about the release. And it was interesting, like the comparison, just a direct comparison, obviously with Barbie. and it's like it's it's different but similar in the sense that if they can get their base fans to just show up and then it's good then it will be a great hit but it is i feel like i don't know what that looks like because i didn't even know what a good barbie movie would look like but it feels like the he man universe is a little bit more particular which i kind of understand because there's been adaptions already of what that should look like and what people are looking for. I feel like as an outsider, I kind of have a advantage to it where I'm like, I have no idea what this should look like. I like Travis Knight.

Like you said, I like the cast. So it's like if it's cool, then it's cool. Like I don't even know what they should look like. So it's kind of, I feel like there's no more pressure. So you don't, you don't know much about the lure in general. Not at all. Right. Right.

So what I think the way that they kept, like, because with Barbie, their approach was the right way to go. They took this approach of almost like, you know, this kind of meta thing about Barbie in general and the way that they played it. And the way there was dolls and there was outdated, but she's discovering herself. And they played it right. They can't do that, obviously, with Heenan. I'm hoping, as I always say, that they do play it. a little bit more on the serious side of the science fiction fantasy and really make it a like i've always said it many times over that i think it's a cross between a movie like star

wars and lord of the rings you could really do that uh but i don't know if they will i don't know if they're going to make it goofy i don't know if they're going to play comedy and i don't know if they're going to play comedy in a way that it's all right there's just some funny moments in it it's just it's just those characters that's a funny character or is it going to be like a Guardians 2 scenario where everybody gets a joke and I certainly hope that's not the case. It doesn't seem to be Travis Knight's style. So I don't think that that's going to happen. I, the leaked art I saw for Jared Leto, I think, looks horrendous.

I think it looks horrendous as skeletons as Skeletor. I think it looks so. It looks like something like at a Blumhouse and it just doesn't, I don't love it. I don't love it, but I don't know. I got to see, I got to see how it plays. but I don't know I'm as I said before I'm cautiously optimistic

and I hope that it's massive and I really do hope I mean my history with it responds back almost 20 years ago now when I was with Silver we pretty much got it picked up and it was we thought it was going to get made back then

and then just no one's really been able to crack the code so I hope that Travis Knight can crack the code because I think it can get someone like you who doesn't know the lore if they dive into it right they can capture you yeah yeah I think that it seems like they're already approaching it differently than Barbie because it's like Barbie doesn't have like a full story like this universe has so I think that's good to have someone like Travis Knight

it's like where it's not supposed it shouldn't probably be meta and it definitely is a different audience because it's more male centered. I'm sure there's women fans too, but it is more male centered and the thing about Barbie is it hit that like the women's expectations of a Barbie doll and how that plays

into real life. And it's like women like that stuff, I feel like it should really focus on doing the lore justice because they have that for this specific universe. That's a great point. Yeah, because it's like okay, so as you said, they had to kind of kind of come up what's the story what's the story for barbie it's almost like when you watch the

studio it's like what's a story man well what's the story that's like sure but with he man's well there's this story he was you know he's got this sword repair his mother's from earth they have this the question is though how much of the lure are they going to take because i can tell you from working with metel back then they were very particular on not messing with the lure and being true to what came with the actual lore itself. Now, I still, to this day, as much as I loved the 80s cartoon, and that's what most people think of when they think of HEMM, to me, the most true, or not much true,

but the best version of the story was the 2002 Cartoon Network series. However, I don't think they're going to go anywhere near that lore. I think they're going to play way more into the 1980s version of it. It was the more popular version. I really hope that they use the the theme. I hope they can do it. They can make it work.

I hope that they do it. It would have to, right? I don't have to. No, because it's like, I mean, it would be a great nod to the fans of that the 80s show and say like. Oh, because they had different themes. Well, the 80s theme had one theme.

2002 had a different one for sure. but that is very recognizable to the He-Man fans is that theme. You can, I just worry that they go, well, it was an 80s theme song and it won't play that. Well, if you listen to it and you, you take someone like a Samuel Kim or somebody who does music like that, and you ask them to do that, and I guarantee you they make it sound. Like, if you imagine Hans Zimmer taking his spin on that, that would be amazing. Be amazing. Yeah.

Yeah, that would be, I haven't, I've only heard, I think I do, I have heard the theme, but I think Hans Zimmer just taking it and making it more. Yeah. New age would be sick. Well, we'll see. He-Man, Masters of the Universe, what do you guys say? You excited for it? Not excited for it. Couldn't care less.

Do you think it's going to have Orko in it? I wish I knew. Fair enough. So let's, before we move on to another thing, I've been telling you guys about Strah. I told you about upside.

Steph, I put out the commando reaction today. Oh, awesome. I can't wait to see the reaction to that. How fun was that movie? It was so fun. I'm so excited for the rest of them now. I

never knew how much I just liked a great action movie. It's a very simple and specifically Arnold action movie. It's like, he's just like an action hero. He's a force and age. He's an absolute force. You talk about that guy's got more personality in his toenail than most people have in their entire bodies. The clothes of shots of the biceps are crazy.

Crazy. And he's like, yeah, he and the one-liners are on point. That's my favorite. On point. remember when I told you I killed you last that's right Matrix you did I lied and I did what did what did you do with Sully I let them go I mean there's so many there's just so many so good yeah we're going to do running man next okay I mean to running man so we'll do running man and then you know there's a lot other ones you haven't seen you haven't seen twins I hope people

click on the Arnold ones because I don't want to bail on the Arnold movies with you I want I want you to watch them But if they don't give a show, we're going to move on to something else. But I hope they check it out. We'll be checking out Running Man. We already did Predator. And so we did that one. Yeah, we have, I mean, we have quite a few that we're going to watch.

The other one, I think that maybe we should maybe take a right-hand turn after the next, after running man is maybe do, because of all the buzz that one battle after another is getting, maybe we do boogie nights. Oh, yeah. Because that's one that you keep hearing about. And that's that one, that's a crazy movie. That's what Mike said too, right? He loved that too. Yeah.

Yeah, it's a crazy. It's my favorite PTA movie for sure. Okay, I have to check it out. It's really good. Yeah, we'll do twins. We're going to do a total recall for sure. Well, that's one of the only one step has seen is jingle all the way.

Yeah. Yeah, that's one of the ones. I don't remember it at all. I just know that. there was he had a kid yeah yeah I was so young do you remember who the kid is

no the actor Jake Lloyd from uh really from stuff yeah from Anakin little Anakin oh my gosh man what if he makes his acting resurgence people will be nice as time oh I don't know

I think poor Jake I think poor Jake just went through it I think he's I think he's done with this business and I don't blame him he was a little kid he was a little kid kindergarten cops another one that we definitely have to watch kindergarten cops yeah yeah i haven't seen that one great one uh put the cookie down is that from that might be from the other one but uh but yeah it's not the tumor last action hero you ever see that one okay wow okay so there is it is a bunch but guys are suggesting all of them

and i love that you got to click on them you got to watch them yeah because if you didn't watch Commando yet, you're part of the problem. You're part of the problem. Part of the problem. Okay. There was a problem with Batgirl. That's why we're never going to see it. Oh, yeah. Well, one of the actors that was in

Batgirl, Jacob Skipio says he saw the movie before it was scrapped. He shares his review. Now, I have not read this article, stuff. I am going to bet $10,000 that he said it's a good movie and it should have been released. What do you think? Yeah, I'm with that.

Otherwise, why would he say anything? Right. But maybe I'm wrong. Maybe he says, you know what? It's a real piece of shit and shouldn't have come out. I stand by the studio. I doubt that is what is about to happen. So let's see.

Okay. Backgirl star, Jacob Skipio, has confirmed he was among those who got to watch the ill-fated DC Comics adaptation after Warner Bros. Discovery Scrapped it and hails the unseen movie as phenomenal. Shocker. When Winter Brothers' discovery decided to pull the plug on Backgirl, even though principal photography had rap fans and filmmakers alike were left reeling. It was an unprecedented movie and one that saw DLRBN, below Flau's DC Comics adaptation deemed unreleasable in reports from the trades. Seeing as moviegoers had already suffered through the likes of Black Adam and the Flash, it was hard to believe a titlemate for Max could really be that bad.

Ultimately, it felt like David Zazlov wanted to save money by scrapping a movie, which couldn't recoup its cost from. a streaming debut. For what it's worth, DC Studios co-CEO, Peter Saffron, has said Backgirl was not releasable and perhaps particularly praised Zazlov and the team for making a very bold and courageous decision to cancel it because it would have hurt DC. As the DCEU's new Cape Pursuitor following by an athlete's appearance in the flash, Michael Keaton was enlisted to return as Batman alongside Leslie Grace's Barbara Gordon. Backgirl looked set to be a big break for her and Jacob Skipio. The latter was cast as gangster Anthony Bressy in a recent interview with the direct. The actor confirmed he got to see a near-finished cut of the ill-fated movie. I got the chance to watch it.

It was a phenomenal film. Man, I'm really sad the world ever got to see it, but you know, you never know. It was great that they saved Coyote v. Acme. I'm going to have a ticket. I'll be buying my ticket and seeing that movie myself. There's always hope. Hollywood's a funny place and I think if enough people want it, it can happen. It's a nice thought, but unlikely to happen. There's even been talk of back. Girl being deleted after a funeral screening was held for cast and crew, and it doesn't add up for James Gunn to take a movie shot over three years ago, finish it and make a canon to the DCU. It features the wrong Batman, for starters. It could always be an Elseworld's tale, of course, but the moment has passed.

No, I didn't care one way or another. Big fun, nice check, Michael Keaton said. I like Batgirl directors. They're nice guys. I pull for them. I want them to succeed. I think they felt very badly, and they made me feel bad. That made me feel bad.

Me? I'm good. The plan had been. and for Batgirls who lead to this dark night taking center stage and a Batman Beyond project, likely meaning we've looked forward to the Bat family being part of a now defunct DCEU. Instead, DC Studios has rebooted the franchise as the DCU with a new Bruce Wayne set to take center stage in the brave and the bold. Okay. So to no one's surprise, an actor that was in the movie that didn't have a chance for his performance to be seen said the movie was phenomenal.

do I believe him? No. I don't. Because, first of all, well, before I say I don't believe him outright. I should say, what's his other taste like? What other movies does he find phenomenal? Does he find Freddie Got Fingered? Phenomenal? If he does, I'm not going to take him serious.

If he starts thinking there's other movies that, you know, I'm like, okay, we're in similar taste. But, And he brings up Coyote v. Acme. He wants to, wants to make sure that the movie comes out. He'd probably get paid more if it comes out or whatever it might be. I have a very different opinion with Backgirl than most. I think that, you know, it sucks.

It sucks that the directors and the actors put all this time in and they don't get a chance. I feel terrible for them. Ultimately, it's who's paying for? right like if i if i if i'm paying for something and i'm saying okay i'm gonna i i don't really think that this is a gonna do well it's gonna hurt our brand on the the guy who's running co-running dc studios agrees with me i'm gonna say you know what let's just get a tax break on it and we'll not release it sucks and you don't their product sucks that they're doing that to people but it's theirs and then the other side of that is i think more so do i think

it was so bad that they didn't want to put it out no i think they were in a place where they need to make some money and it didn't benefit the brand at all and it wasn't going to pull they didn't feel it was going to pull the kind of numbers that a um the batman did and having yet another batman they know they're going to reboot it they're like let's just scrap this thing and get a tax break on it and it's it sucks but do i think it was the worst movie ever made no it could have been worse than cat woman no and they really really least that piece of garbage. So I don't know.

What do you make of all of this stuff? Yeah, I think that it makes complete sense. What is he going to say? And like it's bad, no. And I don't think that it was bad. It seems like there was a general consensus that they liked making it. It was fun on set. Everyone liked the script initially.

So I'm sure it's good. And I do, I'm with you. I think it's such a bummer. I wish it could be released just because it's like, this is so rare that something this big that gets scrapped where I feel like all of these actors thought this was going to be a big break for them. But I think it's good press for him regardless. Like, why not say that? Now, like, we're talking about him and hopefully he has another project coming up.

I hope they all have like other projects coming up and they can kind of just move past this because it's just such a bummer. But yeah, I think that it's the chance of it being horrible is not likely. and the chance of it being like fantastic going to change DC is also unlikely or else they would have just pushed it through. Whether or not that decision was right, I don't know because I haven't seen it, but that seems to be like, seems like the general consensus of why they didn't release it. Yeah. And it seems, it does seem that there was, there's a lot, there's a lot more to it, right? And we're ever going to have, the other thing I think we both can agree is we're never going to see this movie.

No. No, they got their money for what they did. It was a business decision and then that's it. But I also, I should also say this. I don't fault the actor for saying that at all. He should, what he shouldn't do is say, yeah, it was right. It was terrible. It was terrible.

Like, who cares if, well, this guy's going to predict that I say that it was good? Yeah. Well, screw that stupid guy in the hat. I'm going to say that because I want to encourage people I worked with and show everybody that I love how much I was proud of this thing as opposed to taking the studio side. If you took the studio side, it looked like a sellout. Right. Right. And they're being asked about it, you know.

Yeah. 100%. So he did the right thing. What do you need about back girl? Same thing. Couldn't care less. Should we see this thing? Is it a forgotten story of the past?

I'll tell you what is not a forgotten story of the past and never will be is anything Lawrence Fishburn says. I love Lawrence Fishburn. Well, sticking in the comic book realm, he was asked about MCU and other stuff, and he made a play of who he wants to play in the MCU again. Lawrence Fishprin, he wants to come back, but he wants to come back as Charles Xavier. That's right. Lawrence Fishpurn only made a single appearance in the MCU as AntMan and the Lost Bill Foster. Was he not in the second one? I guess not.

That's right. He's only in the first movie. And the Matrix star is eager to return to the MCU as a different character. The Matrix star Lawrence Fishburne joined the MCU as Dr. Bill Foster, aka Black Goliath, Giant Man in 2018's Ant Man and the Wasst. But if it ended up being the renowned actors only live action MCU appearance, he did voice the character. and what if, despite rumors that he was set to reprise the role for Antman and the Moss Quantummania. Though there's always a chance to Foster return on a future project, quantum mania's box office underperformed and critical reception means a fourth Antman is unlikely to happen. And something tells us that Fishpurn isn't exactly waiting by the phone.

Even so, it seems that the actor would like an opportunity to return to the MCU, but as a different character. During a Matrix reunion panel at New York Comic-Con on Sunday, Fishburn threw his hat into the ring to play Professor Charles Xavier in Marvel Studios long-awaited X-Men reboot. So I know they're talking about the X-Men now. So at this point, I want one of two things. First thing would be, what do you think about Lawrence Fishburn as Professor X? As for the second thing, Fishpurn is open to suggestions.

I don't know. I'm going to let you guys aside. I can't figure it out. However, when host Josh Harwitz suggested the idea of a Star Wars role, Fishpurn made it clear that he wouldn't have much interest. No, I'm good. I'm watching everything. I'm watching every Star Wars. I'm in the middle of Rebels now, man. I'm good on the couch with Star Wars. I don't need a lightsaber. I don't pupe you. I don't need it. What an honest answer that is. Sir Patrick Stewart is set to return as Professor X in Doomsday, but the character is expected to be recast. If not, for the first MCU X movie, then at some point during the Mutant Saga, we've already heard the studio might be looking at Coleman Domingo for the role, but reports indicate that casting only recently got underway. How would you feel about Lawrence Fisford and taking on the roles of Charles Xavier? Yada, yada, yada. Okay. All right. Lawrence Fishpurn, as Professor X,

I think we both agree that it was 10, 15 years ago or five years ago, but he'd never done Ant Man. Then he's perfect choice. He's great. He's potentially, you know, he's morphia shows that he could do that. I just don't think, why would you recast inside the MCU and put him in there? It's like, oh, wasn't he an ant man? to the hardcore fans. That's multiverse. In the multiverse, he's, he's, uh, he's an ant man. But in, but he's been in this other multiverse, he's an accident. No, just recast somebody.

Um, I don't know. How do you feel about it? I don't know. I feel like I'm very tempted because I'm such a Lawrence Fishburn fan and I feel like he can just sell the hell out of any, of out of any role. But, uh, yeah, I see that. I forgot he was in an ant man. So I don't know how much it will really matter.

And they do recast from time to time within the MCU. So granted, we are on a similar timeline as of now. So I don't know if they've done that necessarily. But I don't think I'd be bothered by it because I just think it does fit perfectly for him. Like that sounds like a great cast. But I also would be totally fine with them and happy with a new person. who hasn't been in the MCU and just kind of start the slate over. Like, I mean, it's hard to say that as an argument when we're having Robert Downey Jr.

As the main. That's a great call. That's a great. But the difference is this, though, because we don't know yet with Dr. Doom how he's doing it. Is he taking over a body? Is, you know, like, so we don't know yet how he's able to do that. but you're not wrong you're not wrong that if it if it isn't that and if it's well yeah there's another version why will that version it just gets so confusing i know and i don't love the

robert i i mean i don't not love it i just want to see what they're doing with the robert down junior because right now i'm like it has to be and we've talked about this at length it has to be so different for me not to be like that's iron man right and that will be on him to take on that responsibility, but I do think there's way more freedom with Lawrence Fishburn, because I don't remember his character. No, I'm so, I'm so interested to see how they're going to do the downy stuff for sure. You know what I'm also interested in is that I have been able to shield Sam from the news that he's Doom. Oh, really? She has no idea that he's Doom. She has no idea. That's amazing. And so when we watched Fantastic Four and she saw Doom, she like was like, oh my God,

who's that? And I was like, you have no idea. You're going to lose your mind when you find out who that is. I didn't say that to her, but I was thinking it. And so that's been a lot of fun to try to, Paul, I'm curious. And that's, I mean, shoot, next year, man. I mean, she won't find out probably until, because it comes out with December, I think, of next year. So she probably finds until like January, February of next year of 2027. She won't know.

But we need a year of her not seeing promo or anything. I'm telling you, she does not pay attention to anything. And any time any Marvel thing pops up on commercial anything to, she tells her family, turn it off. That's it. Okay, listen. Okay, that's good. Yeah, we're going to move on to some other stuff here.

Probably one more story and then move on to the questions. But I want to ask you guys what you think about Professor X. Who should play him? Should it be Lawrence Fishpark? Should be somebody else? Put your thoughts in there. Let us know. Steph, all right, we got a big battle ahead of us. You're going up against Roka, who you won with last week.

I did. That was big for me. I needed that. It was a win you hadn't had in a bit. So can you win two in a row? You'd have to beat Roka, who was at 106. Oh, he's a good show. You only, you have less than 100 to go. Okay, okay. How are we feeling, guys? What's the vibe? today roka offered a scoop at a hundred so what could what what could step subrah um damn that's

smart i have nothing um fair enough so you know what i did tonight though i saw we i haven't seen a comedy show in forever and ellis posted about his set at the comedy store and we went and it was it was a great there were he killed it he was like yeah just guns blazing at the audience it was hysterical but it was a great lineup alley wong showed up oh nice i was like i've never gotten to see ali wong and we were in the original room so a lot of people were just kind of re practicing their new stuff but it was awesome there was like a lot of people i wasn't familiar with who everyone was funny everyone was funny um is there was there anybody else that showed up um alison uh wait i'll look it up and then i'll tell you that's fine yeah um okay well you know

laurence fish print had mentioned star wars and and that he didn't you know he likes watching it but he's not doesn't really want to be in it um star wars as we've talked about many times over needs a hit right now and we'll see if they're going to get one And here is something that is very interesting. All their last theatrical movies that have come out, whether it was Rogue One, minus Solo, every movie that they put out since they released a movie,

made a billion dollars, minus solo. Now, do I think Mandeloreen and Grog was going to do that? No, I don't. But back then, it was a big accomplishment for them to do that. Now, the question is, how much did it, or the budgets? Now, there's a new report, crazy. I never saw this report before. I never heard about this report before. Star Wars, Disney reportedly spent almost 600 million producing Rise of Skywalker. 600 million? This can't be,

this can't be accurate. This can't be accurate. Star Wars, the Rise of Skywalker, divided fans and critics alike in 2019, and a new report reveals that Disney spent as much as 600 million producing JJ Abrams episode 9. Josh Wilding writes for approaching six years since Rise of Skywalker was released in theaters, and Forbes has managed to get its hands on financial data that confirms the movie costs an almost record-breaking figure to produce. While it's previously been reported that the movie costs an already mass of $415 million, this report states the budget balloon to a whopping $593 million, makes Skywalker's saga finale the most, third most expensive movie ever made behind Star Wars

The Force Awakens and Jurassic World Dominion. These revised numbers include marketing costs, reshoots, various other expenses, but helping matters was 100 million reimbursement of filming the Rise of Skywalker in the UK. As the site explains, filings for the production company behind the Rise of Skywalker state that by March 2019, one month after filming wrapped, the movie was in line with the budget. However, post-production costs less than expected, and by the end of the year, less than two weeks after the movie debuted,

it was below the production budget. One possible explanation is that the Skywalker's rushed post-production schedule, which previously heard, was three months shorter than a Force Awakens. That created a multitude of issues for the team working on the movie, but Disney was determined to meet the planned December 2019 release date. Still, when it was all said and done, Rises Skywalker did turn a $48.6 million profit at the box office grossing $1.7 billion worldwide. Something these figures don't take into account is problems that this movie face

behind the scenes before Jay James returns to direct a movie, which has a 51% of Rotten Tomatoes. Colin DeVarro spent considerable amount of time developing dual-the-fates, which has served a vastly different conclusion to the trilogy. Creative differences led to his departure from episode nine, with the result being a fast-paced adventure that played it far too safe.

Lucasville now intends to make up for those missteps with the least a few movies set in the post Rise of Skywalker era, including a Ray-led project featuring Daisy Ridley's Star Wars return. It's still upsetting, Ridley said. You don't want people to feel like you've not served the thing that they're a fan of, but the last Jedi was so divisive, it felt like the first one,

everyone was responsive in the same way. The second super divisive, the last one super divisive. It didn't change how I felt about it. However, she said the filmmaker, Charmina-a-Bu Knoi's idea for Ray's story is cool as shit. And if it weren't amazing, I would have been like, okay, call me in five years, but it's worthwhile. And the next up is Mandolian Grogu, and then Sean Levy's Starfighter. Okay. This kind of, this is, I mean, it's crazy to me. And It's not crazy at the same time because they're talking about 2018, 2019 when they're like, okay, look, I think they said the key thing in the article, which was, and I remember this,

being on Collider back in the day, Disney really wanted this movie to hit that December date. And it's the same thing that they did with Solo, which I think was the detriment to them, where Bob Iger pushed Kennedy to get Solo out in May. And that was a big mistake. They should have put it in December. all their movies were hitting in December. And that was a massive ever by Bob. But they were really set on getting that thing out there in 2019 December.

And that would push costs, the rewrites and everything else to it. All makes sense of how. But you can see the gamble where they're like, okay, the last movies minus solo have made over a billion dollars. Do we take a shot here, spend this kind of money and make, I mean, they made a $50 million profit. It's pretty damn good. but you would have spent 300 or 350 you would have made a lot more on that movie. So does this $600 million budget, is this baffle you or does it make sense for the time that it was? I mean, it's still kind of baffling.

Yeah. I do think it makes sense in terms of like in hindsight, we know that there was a ton of disorganization kind of going on and inconsistencies and the entire trilogy. So I guess that makes sense that the budget could be pushed up a lot and trying to hit that December date, like you said. And the rationale that they had been breaking a billion and there was a lot of still excitement regardless of how people, they hadn't yet had this wave of distrust. And I feel like people were still, like myself included, I was so, so excited. So I, I could see how they made that just seems like an insane number like I don't know how you get there though still yeah that that should and I think that they were going through that same philosophy when they when they did

everything they did with Indiana Jones like oh it'll make it back and it didn't so I don't think you're going to get that same kind of like the attitude of yeah yeah yeah you know what we'll make it back you can't guarantee that and that's why mandolian grogoo I think is clocking in it like 140 or something which is like the lowest star wars movie of I think tied of all time, I think, which is the way to go, which that movie is not going to cost a lot of money to make. And so

when people are like, oh, it's not going to make a billion, it's going to be a failure. It's not going to be a failure. Because it's going to, as long as that movie, which I think it can make 4, between 450 and 500, that's enough for them to go, okay, we did what we needed to do for that movie. Starfighter

is the test. Starfighter is the real test. And I still don't think that that that ray chenoy movie is going to happen i think that i think ray is going to be part of uh simon kinsberg's trilogy yeah i don't think that's going to happen i it would it would have happened already and i unless the only thing is maybe because you know she got a lot of pushback for some of the interviews and stuff that she was doing um maybe that's they said okay let's put the other movies out first let that storm pass because it will um and then now now let's see where's what she comes up with, but I don't think that movie is ever going to happen.

I think they already are designing something with Kenberg and setting this thing up with Starfighter to get you more engaged in the race stuff again. What do you think? It's kind of mind blowing. I don't know because it's like they bring her out on stage for celebration. How many times have they done that, though? I know, but it's still crazy to me. It's like asking me if I don't, if I'm surprised about the news cycle.

It's like, yeah, I actually still am sometimes. It's like that is kind of insane where you're have an entire self. They should just stop doing celebration honestly for a minute because it's like crazy to have a full on show. And then you bring out the star of your most recent trilogy and are like talking about this movie for years now. And then to think that it's not getting made. I don't know. I just think I yeah, that would still shock me. even with their record, that would still shock me.

Yeah, I, I just don't think, I, I just feel like it's too similar to the other things that have happened in the past. And that movie was supposed to come out, like, wasn't that movie supposed to come out like last, was it this year? I think it was, I think it was, I think it was 2025. It was, wasn't it? I think originally it was slated. I think so. I think so. I, I, I, I, I, I can't remember.

I can't remember. Either way, at the very least, it was slated for, or it was, it was rumored that that would come out at the end of 2026, that Mandolin and Grogu would be first, which would then lead to that. But there's been no talk about it. But I don't know. I love Daisy Ridley. I would always welcome her return. I would love her in any capacity. Honestly, if they get her back on screen, that'll be awesome.

I just feel like that's such a bummer that they're. still in this announced and not happening. I know. It seems like Starfighter is fully happening, so that's good. It's Starfighter, I'm telling you, Starfighter is so important to the future of Disney Star Wars. It is so important. There will be videos made about Mandalorian and Grogu on whether it, if it, like I said,

if it, if it succeeds, everyone's going, Star Wars is back. No, no, it's not. If it fails, Star Wars is finally dead. No, it's not. That is just them taking this investment, the Moana strategy, of saying, this is a TV show, let's make it a movie, let's try to turn a profit on it. We were going to spend that money anyway on the season. Let's spend it in the theater.

Let's see if we can make a profit on it. It's just, it's a one-off business decision. This is the Starfighter is the, it's the whole tone. of it. It's like, okay, where are we going with this? Because you're going to set up and you're going to give us a little crumb of Ray or whatever it might be. You're going to give us a new time period outside of the events that happened in the new trilogy. You're going to say, okay, this is the new, this is where we're going. Now, this is our first real movie after that. Here we go. If people get behind it and not only

with box office, but if you can get that same bipartisan, if you will, by the audience reaction that they had when Mandalorian and Grogo, or Mandalorian, I should say, season one and two came out. If you can get the fan base back there, which showed in 2019 that it was possible, if you can get them back there after Starfighter, then you're balancing that. Don't start doing the crap again.

Stay here. But if you miss with Starfighter, you're in the shits, and I think you need to sell it. I think you're in the shits. Yeah, I would like, I'm excited for Starfighter because it feels like a separation. I'm just excited for them to feel like Andor was, and to my surprise, an amazing extension of the future Skywalker story. But now past that, I'm like, if Star Wars to me, if I want to be interested in it for the long run, I really want them to tell new stories in the galaxy that get different generations involved. and then just kind of give them more of a freedom to see, like,

what are you going to do when you're not just banking on a key character or a key planet, you know, like branch out a little. Yeah, let's, I agree with you. You got to if you, and this is why I'm telling you it's so important, if you set up these new characters that people care about, new lore, other things that are happening,

combine it with, you know, throw in a couple sprinkles of names and things that happened with Finn or, history. Whoever the history in the back. Okay, fine. But really establish these new characters. And then this is what I've been saying this for like 10 years.

And it's like kind of like wrestling or even like the Shmodeh. You would introduce somebody new and you're like, oh, I didn't realize the audience was going to respond to that person the way that they did. Wow. They really love that person. What do we give them a standalone? of the audience has been calling for it. But it's not just fabricated. You set it up and gave it a nugget inside of the movie that you're like, oh, that's

where we can spawn off. And you start building on new shit. And they're too scared. They have been in the past too scared to do that. So maybe they're doing that now. We'll see. What do you guys think about the fact that this movie cost that much? At this point, it's like, who cares?

It's so, that's the way they were overspending. It's a matter of what they're doing in the, the future. That's kind of where I stand. I'm like, okay, yeah, they spent that amount of money. They made a profit on it. You can't really do that now. What do you think? Put your thoughts in there. All right. Last story before we get to the questions. We now stand at 15 questions trying to get to 106. But Jim Carrey, but at one point said he was going to retire and he stopped with that retire nonsense. He apparently is going to lead a live action, the Jetsons. And this is not a fantastic for sequel.

Jim Carrey is reportedly in talks to lead a live action adaptation of the classic cartoon, the Jetsons at Warner Brothers. Jurassic World, Colin Truvaro is in talks to director project and co-write the script with Joe Epstein. Project is said to be in the very early stages of development with no deals currently in place. So if it comes, it will be years away. The original early 60s Hannah-Barbara cartoon, which was in syndication for decades and was set in the distant future. it focused on the misadventures of a family in time of sky homes, hover cars, robot service, and other tech advances. The family included married couple George and Jane Jetson, their kids,

Judy and Elroy, dog Astro and robot made Rosie. Presumably, Carrie would play George. Carrie most recently starred as Dr. Robotnik in a Sonic the Hedgehog franchise playing the role across three films. Fourth is in the works, but it's not clear if he's coming back for that, though he said he's open to it. All right, Steph. Oh, where'd you go? There you are. What do you think of this news? Should it happen, will it happen? I think it sounds really fun. I think this kind of sounds like it's a good fit, honestly.

And it seems like Jim Carrey, even though he talked about retiring, when I heard him talking about Sonic, he's just picking very specific roles that speaks to him that I think give him the freedom of taking it into a direction that he wants to, but also gives him the freedom of using his character work. So this seems kind of like a fun reboot that I, sometimes I'm like, why do it? But this one I'm like, yeah, this, I could see the Jetsons being like a super fun, weird reboot. I don't know if they've ever done a live action for it, have they?

I don't think so. Only the cartoon that everyone's on. Right, right. So I'm surprised they never did it before, especially with the way of the world's going now too. So I, and it's Jim Carrey. now Colin Chavarro who I actually really like as a human being and the Jurassic World movies are pretty shallow for the most part

I mean they are so I think that I understand why he would do this and it's also probably probably likes the franchise in general you can see why Jim Carrey would want to do it yeah and I think that they that it was right to use that picture of the Sonic thing. And speaking of Sonic, they'll throw everything that they have at Jim Carrey to get him to come back. He's, he's essential to the success of those movies. So yes, he will be, if he's open for it, he'll be back for the fourth one. But yeah, this to me is a why not, but it's the same old boring answer I have for everything, which is don't spend too much on it because it's not a guarantee. There's a lot of people, you're going to have to win over a lot of new people who aren't going to be familiar with this.

Like you didn't watch the distance, right? No, I know what the cartoon looks like. I mean, I've probably seen a few episodes of it. It's constantly talked about and pop or referenced in pop culture. So, yeah, there is a little hill to climb on that, but also there's kind of this nice freedom that it's like, it's just a cool concept on its own. Right.

So you don't need that much fandom to propel it. Yeah. Yeah. Look, and that's why you get someone like Jim Carrey. Yeah. Because if you get Jim Carrey and this, you may, and because of all the advances in technology now and the way that it's not, the Jetsons in the 60s was so out of control with the things that they were thinking about because it was the technology was, that's just futuristic crazy stuff. Now the stuff that you could do, you can make it very similar to what's, things that it potentially could be, which is the crazy. That's how far into the future we are.

What do you guys think? The Jetsons, something that should happen, something that shouldn't happen. Put your thoughts in there. Let us know. Okay.

Mike Joyce. Steph's going to answer this hopefully because I don't know. What does six, seven, it seems like it's everywhere. There's a group of kids chanting in the lobby of the movie theater with the other day. My daughter say it all the time. Where does it come from and why, how do we make it stuff? It's from a song. Oh, okay. And it literally means nothing of importance. Like, that's the biggest bummers that people like search for what the meaning is. And it's one of those things where kids just decided that this was going to be what they do. But it does, it's just a random, them ad lib in a song and it's just been taken, I forget who the artist is, it's just been taken into a whole new world. And so that's like the new thing is just to yell it everywhere all the

time. Um, I hate it. I remember when comedy had a point? Yeah, I hate it. I hate it. It's my kids say it all the time and it's it's um it is um the worst it is the worst um in the same way that uh like what is it whatever i don't like the a lot of these sayings that people say i don't like uh Nathan Drake first three rambo movies over command over 80s action you can't put the third one over look I love the rainbow movies but you can't put the third one over have you've seen the rainbow movies? Yeah, I have. You see all three? Yeah. The first one is

so different. The first of PTSD War hero story. So that I can't even compare to Commando. So then maybe the second one, but even then it's just such a different... The second one's the closest one you can compare

because of what... Right, right. Because they're both doing the same thing. They're taking out armies together. Yeah, yeah. I love Rambo 2. I love Rambo 2. I love Rambo 2. I love Rambo 1 is, I mean, first, I still say this to say a million times over, blue in the face. It's one of the best books ever.

It's such a very different, very different from the movie, very different. Interesting. Yeah, the book was released before the Vietnam War was even over. It was released in like 72. And he's in, you know, and so did you, did you react to the Rambo series? Yeah, I did. Okay. I don't know if we watched all, but yeah.

So you watched all four of them? I think so. Okay. Or five of them, five of them, rather. There's five. So, yeah, and so in the first movie, as you were mentioning it, he, you know how he pretty much, he doesn't really kill anybody on purpose.

He throws the rock at the helicopter to defend himself when the guy's shooting at him at the rocks and the, right, spins and fall. But he doesn't kill anybody in purpose. He kills everybody in the book. Kills everybody. Oh, really? Yeah, you know when he's in the police station?

Yeah. And he breaks out and he, well, he's closed and he punches the guy in the nose and the elbows the guy's nose and the guy's nose is bleeding. He's nude in the book and he guts the guy and leaves. Yeah. Because he's having like a PTSD episode. Same thing. He's caught and he breaks out.

And he just, that's how he knew how to get out. It's completely, completely different. I would love to see it. I would love to see a remake of the actual. I kind of like the movie take, but yeah, I think it would be interesting to see a secondary take on that. Yeah, because in the book, Rambo dies. Oh.

At the end, they actually shot that ending for the movie where Troutman actually kills Rambo, but the audience didn't respond to it for two reasons. One, it's Stallone in 1984 at the height of his start of no one wants to see Stalienbaum. of no one wants to see Stallone die in a movie. No. And the second, because of what I just said, he didn't do anything. He didn't kill anybody on purpose. He was defending himself. Right.

Why did Troutman kill him? Right. He had to go down. Because in the book, I was so on his side. Yeah. In the book, he's got to go down. Right. Because he's just, he's just, he's an unhinged machine at that point.

And the Brian Dennyhy character, in that is such a dick in the movie, he's sympathetic in the book, and he actually starts to like Rambo. It's a phenomenal book. Go pal. It's absolutely wild. Lawrence Fishfram was only 14 years old

when he filmed Apocalypse. Now, I'm happy for him to get any role. He's great and everything I see. I feel similarly. Yeah. Yeah, he's great. I love him. Let's see.

Next one after that is Mike Joyce. The Age of Disclosure documentary on 1121 on Prime. I have the press release for that this morning. I'm trying to get somebody interviews for the other channel. That's the UFO documentary. Okay, that's what I thought. They released it in South by, and they were, I guess, to the longest time, people were trying to figure out where the hell it was going.

I guess it landed at prime. uh, Jake, I was watching Gen V and I saw Ethan Slater, who was also the redheaded munchkin guy and wicked. Uh, and he didn't even, and didn't even know him and Ariana Grande were together.

Oh yeah. You're just not following the scoops because I'm sure stuff to do about that. That was the scoop. Yeah. That almost took away from the movie a little bit. Honestly, I was worried for a second. Yeah,

did, um, yeah, you froze for a little bit. Yeah, that was. they had a whole they had a whole he said she said type situation of how they started and it was not looking good but they seemingly just like kept silent and kept it pushing and so who really know are they still together i think so wow um i don't care i know all right let's see

Seattle KO i think i'd like to i'd try to cast you a mcgregor as professor x it's a good one Jason Isaac for Magneto for Jake Schreier's X-Men. Hugh McGregor, Professor X would be awesome. That would be. It would be awesome. That's a cool shout. Yeah. All right, Seattle, K.O.

Or Patrick Wilson as Professor X. Patrick Wilson could do it as well. Yeah, I like Patrick Wilson a lot. Okay, let's see. Next one after that. Again, 21, 22, 22. Can we get to 106? It's a struggle.

We'll see. Josh Vascovic. Christian, any horror movie reactions coming up? Yeah, I just did, what don't we just do? We just did one with me and Ming. And I did, oh, black phone. It ate a pile of shit. And both, yeah, Luke and I were like,

maybe we just don't do horror anymore. Because it doesn't seem to play on the channel. So, bummer. I may, although I might do it chapter one and chapter two with him because, you know, welcome to Darius coming up. So I might do that, but because he's never seen that. Oh, okay. Yeah, I still never seen Saw.

That looks scary. Yeah, I still never seen Saw, but I don't know if I want to commit to 11 movies. No, Christian. Yeah, I don't want to do it. Boom or bust? The last decade, we saw the death. of a journalistic and integrity with the rise of AI do you see a renewed respect and desire for major trades?

No. No. It's too hard to fabricate information with AI. Yeah. Nah. And I think people don't have respect for each other in general. Hate to be. I hate to be so it's

it's pretty terrible. So no. It's not going to be like, oh, AI, I respect journalists now. No, they're going to shit on one even more. um yeah my choice any scoop on more cool vids you have planned stuff um not i mean i'm gonna try to do some halloween stuff in the next week i just have been i realized i was going to do Halloween with my nephew so i originally was going to be jinx from arcane and do like the full makeup and everything but i think it will freak him out so if i'm kind of in this switch zone of

switching to a more chill character and then maybe I'll do like a video of like that sort of but I'm not totally sure. Yeah. Some Halloween videos, some more fashion videos, more vlogs. How's the channel been treating you? Good. Yeah. It's steadily growing. Good.

Figuring out, you know, it's like such random things will do better than the other. So there's no like clear thing yet. but everything's like doing fine. So you got to test it. You just got to test it out. I'll tell you what we're going to do right now. I want to make sure I'm putting, I want to see how many,

let's do a test here. Even if you don't put a question in, you can do this. I'm putting in the chat right now. I just put Steph's YouTube channel. Everybody should subscribe right now. Thank you. Yes.

If you're in here right now, you should subscribe. And Steph, you tell us how many subscribers we got since how many you have Right now you have three, a little over 3,03.04. Let's get her to 3,400 at least. We can do that. Come on.

Yeah. All right. All right. Let's see. Go palty towers was a series being by John Cleese. Ah, thank you. All right, 23. Okay.

Coming close to the end here. Go, pal. At the beginning, you said Steph would be here eventually. Ah, okay. It reminded me of an exchange between Baselman Manuel and Faulty Towers. I kind of comments. Oh. That all makes sense.

That all makes sense. Yes. Well, because like I said, I was shooting. This is the problem with, you know, I want to make sure that I get everything locked down. I only had Sam one time, I had twice this week, but I only had one more time that she could come in. She said, can I, I can come in at 10 in the morning.

So I said, okay. So I got myself to the gym early, drove from here, put up the commando reaction and said, all right, if we start, she didn't get here until like 10, 15, 10, 20. and I was like, all right, I can, the movie is, it's actually, I, how long do you think Dunkirk is that movie with Christopher Nolan? So, yeah, 245. That's what it seems like. It's what I thought.

It's only, it's a shortest movie at like 1.45. Oh, really? It feels like a three hour movie, but it's, it's, yeah, because it's like that one shot, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, but it's not. It's, it's, it's an hour of 45. So I said, okay, I have enough time that I can watch it. So I had Luke said it to, um, that we, that we started at, um, 12, 15, Eastern Standard Time, put it in the email.

And then I got out a little early, but I had missed Steph's text to me that had asked me if we were still at the same time. So I had started right at the time that I thought I was going to and she was getting some stuff ready. So at that time, we just, she was in two minutes after the intro. Neil Minnix, Steph, have you seen Transformers one? Yeah, she did. She liked it.

I loved it. Yeah. Loved it. Yeah. Alex. Hot take. I think Jetsons should have a big buzzer. I'm not interested in seeing a cheap green screen volume version of Justin's world.

That's not, but hold on, it's a difference. It's a difference. This is, see, this is, this is why I think that the box office talk is so important. It has, what's the big budget, Alex? Because overspending on like, you don't want it to look, it has to look good. You don't want a cheap green screen volume version of the Jessus. I agree with you. You want it to look good.

But what are you looking at? You spend the money on Cass. on Jim Carrey and then you lower those costs. And then you get to a certain range because if I'm hiring you, Alex, and you come and you go, listen, this thing's got to have a big budget. We can't do cheap green screen. We can't do volume version of it.

So we're going to make this for $200 million. We're going to make it for $215, $2.20. I'm going to say, Alex, thanks for coming in, get the fuck out of my office. Because why in the world am I going to take a risk on an old IP that I don't know for Sure, and a director that is, because I guess what you could say to me in the room is, well, this guy made a billion dollars on Jurassic World. That was Jurassic World. It was Jurassic.

It doesn't matter who's directing it. It's Jurassic. This is, well, you got Jim Carrey. Okay. You got a positive going for you there. But what's your budget? You're going 150? 130, 140?

That's a big budget. I'll give you that. Anything more than that? I think you're pushing it. What do you think, Steph? go 200 plus? Uh, I don't think.

No, I don't think so. I think it should stay lower, but I agree. It still has to look nice, obviously, but I don't think it needs to be a massive budget. You just get like one big name,

like Jim Carrey, and then you get like some newer, newer, lesser known actors. Yeah, I agreed. Uh, the Callie Kid, what's up, Callie Kid? My mother has, had my my has had major open up the chest surgery and she survived I love that

Kelly good however she's been in the hospital for a week I have four brothers intentions are high well please our thoughts are with you let us know Callie Kid how your mom's doing man I hope she's okay and thank you for letting us know yeah yeah quick recovery please four brothers is intense yeah it's a lot uh Crystal it's up I'm not sure if you guys saw the Daredevil leak. I'm just so hyped for that season. What I did see was that there's a release date? What was the release date? Let me, you know what? I was going to bring that story up stuff. And I didn't. Where is it?

Somewhere is the daredevil. Okay. So the official date has been revealed at, I guess at Comic Con and it said March 4th, 2026. Okay. Yes. I like that season one, you did too, right? Oh, did you ever wind up watching it? No, we're not, we're still haven't seen it. Okay. All right, all right.

Okay. Callie Kid, you remember. Thank you, Callie Kid. Let's see what, Cali Kid. Let's see what stuff. How many, how many three? Yeah, he just picked up, you just picked up 200 more subs it looked like.

Oh, really? Hell yeah, guys. Thank you. Thanks for anyone who subscribed or has been a subscriber. You're awesome. Yeah. that. Perfect. Okay. Let's see.

Cool cash. Can you give us non-spot? Thank you. Thank you for reminding me. I shot my review. It's ready to go. I'm going to put it. I'll make it live after done with this stream. Can you give us your non-spoiler thoughts on Blackphone too? Couldn't hear you well in the video yesterday. Yeah. Because I'm a moron stuff. I'm a moron.

This is what I need in order to do my audio of theater reactions. I used to do them for a very long time, but just holding the phone, but the sound is atrocious. But this mic is phenomenal. It's great. I left it at the office. This is a road, just road wireless. Okay. Yeah. And I forgot it at the office.

So I apologize for that. But it's a very, very solid sequel, as I said. Did you see the first one stuff? No. Okay. It's the first one is, they're very different. Scott Derrickson, again, is such a great filmmaker.

and it's good attention. My biggest criticism, which is any horror movie that does this, I just don't like when they do it. I hate when they do jump scares with loud music. It's a cliche. It's a trope that I cannot stand. I mean, anybody doesn't. Even someone is genius as Derekson.

It's like, it's like this. But it's like, you're supposed to be scared. You're supposed to be scared. No, loud music. You should be really scared. And it's like, I'm not scared. This is annoying. but what they did do very well was continue on the lure and the two lead actors,

both brother and sister, Finn and Gabby, I think that's her name. Shoot, I just forget, but she's more so the lead now this time around. And it's really, it's a solid sequel. It's definitely an homage to like the Nightmare in Elm Streets and all those types of things. and Ethan Hawk is equally as creepy as he was in the first one. They explained things very well, and it's a very good sequel. And I enjoyed watching it.

It was a good time to be scared at the movies, if you will. But I'm going to, I'm going to post it on, I'm going to post it as soon as this shows over. Callie Kid, that is very, very nice indeed. And thank you again. My goodness, man.

Thank you. Thank you, Callie, kids. Cali, kid, you got to let us know what's going on with your mom. Please, please, please, please come back in and tell us. That was very kind to you. Thank you. Nathan Drake, I'd love to see Steff's Roadhouse, 89. You never seen that, right? The 89 one?

Okay, that's a good one to do. That's a good one to do. Yeah, we have that too. Yeah, I'm sure I'll like it. I like those types of movies. Yeah, that's why we're watching is you, you're a bit, you can tell you just grew up in the wrong era. But, uh, yeah, I, yeah, I grew up actually being like,

I don't like action movies. And now I'm like, well, it's probably other than fantasy, my favorite genre, just like a good action. So good. It's the best.

Yeah. Josh Vasco, the soft franchise might be a great reaction series. Black phone might have already gone by the wayside. Well, I just thought because the new one was coming out, that it would, uh,

it would be a good time to pair it up. Right. Because if I feel like the first one got a lot of great reception. Did. So I would have thought it did. well too. It did, you know, the reactionate. But I feel like for the horror watches, they like either the super scary movies, because they're just like, want to see people scared.

Or they like the, like, cult following ones. Like, um, what's the one? Hereditary. I feel like that, like that type of. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I've tried. I've taken. Look, we've taken a shot. I'm, I'm still, maybe, maybe it's because I'm stubborn.

Like I everything in my being was telling me to bail on the demon slayer reactions because they're just they're barely hitting like 8,000 views. It's just not it monetarily for, you know, Winston and the editors and everything. It's it's not worth. It's losing a lot of money. But I want to finish it. And I want to and I want to keep watching. And then it's like, okay, then we do the black phone. And it's like, it's like, it's again, it's been, please, please, please, please, please,

people go watch interstellar tomorrow i need i need i need i need a hit i need a hit yeah yeah if there's like one hit a week then we could do more like fun stuff i don't have as much pressure yeah i can i can if if i get if there's one hit then it's like okay then i can then i can then emel makes it if they're if they're all shit bombs then it's like fuck i then i got to go then i got to start then i got to start scaling back and then yeah um so hopefully you guys check it out. Nathan Drake. Jetson was on Nick at night when I was a kid in the 90s. I didn't realize it was a 60s show though. Yeah, I mean, they did rerun it for for quite a while. That's right. Yeah. Oh man, Kelly Kid again. I love movies. I love going to the movies. Callie Kid. Callie Kid,

I love you. If you sent these in all us separate, I would be winning by far. That's just true. By far. But thank you. Okay, Sam has, Sam does do one or two a week. Sam's got to, um, Let's cue these all up in a playlist and you clean up the house. They're on playlist, though. The reactions? I don't know what you mean, Casey. They're all, all of them are in, are in a playlist.

Huh. Um, all right. So right now, right now we've got 30 stuff. Looks like that's it for today. But it was a good, it was a good battle. It was. And Kelly kid gave us a lot of support. Right.

next week i got stuff twice on the channel we get the live show and the other thing that we got going on is um uh potentially running man with arnold but two more came in before we signed up is this one of those things we'll see eric arlain speaking of del toro please watch pans labyrinth that you've seen you've seen you've seen pan's labrath right yeah i love it and then you know i got roasted on my hand oh that's right right right right Sam, she could probably watch that. That's true. Beautiful movie with real horror is a real life story. That is a great movie. It's fantastic. It's my favorite del Toro movie. I love it. Sam is a Spanish feature. It's a good, that's a good call, Eric. It's a great call for her. It's a good one. My cat. I miss old MTV. No music video is now shameful. What I don't, I didn't even, is MTV still a thing? Yeah, they produce some stuff now, but I agree. Like, I don't know what.

why they made that switch. They, like, didn't hang on long enough. Right. And I feel like it could have hung on and then become back in again. And then because MTV kind of dropped off on the music videos, I feel like music video quality in general dropped off. Definitely. I mean, it would have been interesting to really do brand that, especially their own YouTube channel and debut it there and bring back TRL and all that stuff to be interesting. Yeah.

Tim, best disaster movie, just rewatch 2012. Well, that's definitely not my favorite disaster movie. You're a disaster movie. Why do I think Twisters up top when I don't, let me do, let me see, hold on. Yeah. I'm going to, let me get a list. Okay, day after tomorrow, no, disaster movie, no, Armageddon is a good one. Aftershock, the core outbreak.

Outbreaks is probably the best quality one. That one is, especially after what we went through in 2020. That one probably, yeah. Everest. Everest is a good one, too. Twister, Twisters. Yeah, I would probably say, I mean, contagion is probably the best as far as quality-wise, movie-wise. What about you stuff? Oh, does children of men count?

It's kind of futuristic. Yeah. Okay. So best disaster then. I don't. Armageddon's pretty fun. okay yeah yeah i don't yeah yeah well go pal says jetsons used to air after school in channel 5 when i was kidding the 80s oh it was a lot it was on for a while yeah uh here you go step again callie kid caly kid what did we talk about no the kid if you sent these in it's all separate if you send it like 10 of those i would have broke the record yeah maybe uh go pal thank you callie kid that was

awesome thank you callie kid go pal when there were independent stations. Yeah, I remember that. Mobland was an MTV series. Yeah, it's paramount, though, you know, that's what I think of, but yes, MTV, but so change your name. It was MTV. Right. Change your name. Mobland's good. Yeah. Go, pal.

They used to do shows like Scream and Teen Wolf, right? Right, but then they used to do, actually, but back of the day, they would do a lot of other things. Okay. Well, now, with 38 still pretty damn good. Yep. Thanks guys. Pretty damn good. Love you.
