All right, everybody, we're back. It's Thursday. Thursday, moaning. And I'm excited today because we're starting to get people back in the studio. Steph Sabra and Brett Sheridan join me today as we are going to talk about a great many things. The main thing is Patrick Stewart. He said, yeah, man, it's me. I'm Professor X. I'm in Dr. Strange. That's my voice. So what does that mean? It means that a lot of those cameras when we had Rob Liefeld on recently had said a lot of this shit was true. So who else we're going to see? We're going to speculate. We're going to have some fun. We're going to talk about some other things going on in the world of entertainment where it's going to go.

I do not know. And you're going to have Stranger Things season four or whatever the hell season it is. That's coming up. The bullet train trailer just released. It's got this Adam Project thing that's coming out. The Oscars, anybody, give a shit, Batman. So much stuff to talk about. And we are going to just have Brett do the whole thing because he's going to really kill it today.

the third year of our Lord I'm happy to have you all here especially in this we haven't really addressed it too much and I don't want to get too much into it but this crazy time that we're living in and love prayers and thoughts are going out to the people in Ukraine

keep kicking ass everybody we're with you and like I said I don't really get political on the show, but to me this is not politics. This is a human issue. So we're praying for him. All right. That being said, these two assholes.

It's, oh, I should just say one asshole. Steph Sabra is definitely an asshole. Yeah, it's actually me. Yeah, you are. Is BC before Christian, if we're talking, year of our Lord, is that the new thing that we're going with? Whatever you want to do at this point. Before Christian was born.

What happened? Yeah, not me. You think that's how I. You think that's how I spell my name with a C? No, we're doing BK to remix. I was going to let it slide. It's right there. It's like right next to your name and you have a screen that you can see it now.

It's horrible. Hey, I said I was an asshole as soon as we started this. You did. You did. You owned it. We are here. We're going to be owning it. We got a lot going on.

People have been asking. It was like, when are you getting people back in studio? We're finally doing it. And as you saw last night, Steph and I, we had the Sith Council. And now we got big thing. Lots going on. And as I mentioned for, Brett, did you see the Spider-Man movie yet? Yeah, no.

No, that's a girl. Damn it, but I brought the Drake's charted. Yeah, Drake's Charter. You brought it on Chartered? You brought it back? I brought it to my table and left it at the table so I could get the old Spider-Man's from you. But I have not seen the Spider-Man. Wait, don't you have, don't you have, where the hell is it?

Was it on each people? Where did I watch it? No, Spider-Man, the new Spider-Man? Not the new one, but the other ones, because we were doing our re-watching. I don't remember where I didn't watch it on the on Blu-rays. I watched it on, I may have rented on Amazon. Stars, I think, has some. You're right.

That's exactly where I watched it. Good call. Do you have stars, Brett? I don't have the stars, no. Well, then go fuck yourself. How about that? But guess what? It's my birthday today.

Is it really? Oh, my God, I'm going. Is it really? Well, today the showing airing of the. Yeah. Right, okay, so I was wondering. Yeah, Pisces. And Kate's, so.

Oh, that's right. Happy birthday to me. I'm on new medication. Let's make it feel like, don't you? I knew it because when today I get a text, let me in. Oh, my God. I'm here. It's good to have you back.

Oh, everybody back. And it's good to have the Shmowdown back. It's moving. It's cooking. For those people, if you've never seen the Shmodown before, you should check it out. It's the brand new season. If you were used to watch, You couldn't take the digital error.

That shit's gone. It's all about studio stuff now. It's fun. So please go and check that out on the movie trivia Shmodeown channel. It is the Shmodown, the World Championship movie trivia. Okay, but the reason I bring up the Star Wars, the Star Wars, yeah, the Star Wars, the Spider-Man is, I know Steph has seen it. So, you know, you have like the multiverse and everything that's, that's moving. Now, they're focusing so much on that, and the events of Spider-Man now are playing into the

Multiverse, the stuff that happened in Wanavision playing into it. And did you watch the trailer for Multiverse yet, the last one, Seth? Yes. So you heard Patrick Stewart's voice. Yeah. Yeah. It's pretty unden-you-you-can't miss his voice. No.

But I think we've been waiting for a while to see if we're going to get newer X-Men movies in this newer phase of Marvel and maybe if it's going to combine with Sony and how it's going to work. I love X-Men as the property. I haven't really liked any movie other than Logan, really. You know, like first class? First class is okay. Yeah, first class is good.

I like them. They're just not great. They're not mind-blowing, but I've been waiting for the X-Men to come back, and if this is the introduction with Patrick Stewart, how fucking yeah? I don't think it is the introduction. No, no, no, not for that.

I think that he's going to play into this. The rumors are that it's like this, I forget what the hell they are. Kind of like the Illuminati that where they're on the, whatever it might be for time. And I think the rumor is that Tom, you know, Tom Cruise at one point was going to play Iron Man before Robert Duny Jr.

But he wanted to show his face more and they didn't want to do it and they wanted too much money, whatever it was, and it didn't work out. So the rumor is that he's going to be back as Tony Stark to, or he's going to play Tony Stark in this side of it. John Crosinski has been rumored to play Mr. Fantastic.

But they're all variants. And I think he's going to be a variant also because I think when they finally reboot X-Men from Marvel, they're going to recast everyone. And I think that it's the right move to do. because it's a younger professor X, it's a younger Wolverine. You're going to see that Hugh Jackman's one of the best superhero characters, maybe casting all time.

But you remember when he was cast, he wasn't the version of Wolverine. Everyone thought he was in him. Because Wolverine in the comic books, small, bulkier. You know, I mean, he's pretty bulky, but still, Hugh Jackman's like six feet, six one, whatever the hell he is. So to see that kind of wolvie berserker, a new Wolverine, that absolutely could happen.

The new cast that's going to happen. Plus Fantastic Four is going to happen. But I think the idea that Patrick Stewart's going to be in this movie says a lot about who else could show up with these fun cameos. Yeah, that's true. I didn't even, I just am so focused on X-Men coming back. But that's true.

If we do get the X-Men, I would definitely want, there's no reason other than it would be so sad not to see, like, Michael Fassbender get his own movie finally because he's also one of the best castings in my opinion. but that makes sense. That would be weird, though, because if people don't know, like, Tom Cruise was supposed to be Iron Man,

do you think there need to be any explanation or were just, like, their variants because Loki kind of set that up. Loki set it up. Spider-Man set it up. There's a lot of different, I mean, like, you look at the different versions of people that have been in, that's what the rules have been set up in this new phase of Marvel, is that anybody could be a variant of someone,

and I think that they set it up well enough, It's the same thing with John Krasinski. No one knows that he's Reed Richards, but in this particular one, he could be. And again, this is all speculation and just rumor, but Patrick Stewart pretty much confirming that that was his voice inside of it, I think confirms a lot of those scenes. And when we had Rob Lightfeld on, he was like, I can't believe pretty much a lot of the shit that you've heard, whether he's seen stuff or not. I have no idea.

But I think that what it does with X-Men in general is that it's going to open it up, because I think when they do, I think eventually X-Men is going to take over the majority of what we're watching in Marvel. Yeah, there's just way more characters. Yeah, and you can do it not even in film. Like, look at everything they've doing already with Marvel on TV, with secondary characters like Moon Knight, who people are super excited about,

and nobody even knew who Moon Night was. And now people are so pumped about this. When they finally start diving into X-Men movies, they can then start to do X-Men TV shows. And I would imagine just, like, look what they're doing with Obi-Wan. They could do like a six-episode run with Wolverine. And now, do you guys hear the news yesterday with Disney? Yeah, that they're going, going a little...

Daltie. They're showing... Dultie. Yeah, they're going to show just old school Jenna Jameson videos. That's the whole time through. Yates. I'm so glad they're doing that. I think it's so limiting of Disney Plus to only...

If you're going to own Marvel now and Star Wars, I think those are properties that can go kidway, but can have more adult content. should and I think that this should be both options. Well, and it's not, and it's obviously not just, you're right, but I, I think Marvel's got more of a chance, obviously, when you look at Daredevil, if you guys have ever seen Daredevil, that's pure rated R. And if you look at the kingpin that was in Jessica Jones. Yes, when you look at the kingpin that was in Daredevil, when he literally decapitate somebody

with a car door, as opposed to the cartoon version that we got in Hawkeye, being able to switch back up and go into that. And then it also now allows the opportunity that Deadpool could be the Deadpool that we all know, right? Star Wars, I don't think you're ever going to see a change. I think that the brand itself is just, is locked. You might get similar to like maybe a moon night where if they want to go ballsy enough to a PG-13 and get a, you know,

whether it's Acolyte or Darth Bain or Plagueus or something along those lines, they could do it. But I think that the reason that they're doing this more rated our content is because if you want to compete with Netflix and you want to compete with HBO Max, there's only so much you can be the family brand. Yeah. Because there's just more, there's more stuff because Netflix has a lot of family stuff that you can watch. And then there's a lot of just stuff that, like, you can find, what's that one that everyone's talking about, Meet the Millers, whatever, not Meet the Millers. What's the one that, the animated one that just came out? Oh, Mitchell v. Machines.

Yes. Mitchell versus Machines, which is a Netflix thing, and then you skim on over, and there's Ozark, which is not for children. So it can work. And I think the thing that I want to, I'm curious stuff for what you think here is with Moon Night coming out, I think that they're putting these restrictions on two weeks before Moon Night comes out.

That's got a fair pretty positive for the content of what Moon, Moon Night's probably going to be pretty dark. Yeah. It makes sense with the cast that we have, the character that Moon Night is. is that they would do that, but I was okay if they were going to go more of what we've seen in the Loki and Wanda Vision direction, but it makes it, it's a dark character. Yeah.

So the fact that they're announcing it, I don't think is a coincidence. It has to do with the next property coming out for Marvel. I think so, too. Brett, have you seen the trailer yet for Moon Night? Moon Night, yeah. And what do you think? It's badass. And it's also the idea that they're kind of playing, not playing, but they're tackling

the issues of mental health and the things that he's got to go through. I think he's got multiple personalities or whatever it is. Maybe he's on new meds too. Yeah, he might be too. He might be. He needs some. That's right. Does he want to feel like he has to puke all the time?

Maybe that's what gives him his edge. He's got his edge. He's got to feel like he's puke all the time. But I think that what they're doing very well, everybody was curious of what the Marvel phase was going to look like after end game. Because it was, well, what are they going to do now? You got Tony Stark is dead. Captain America is old.

What are they going to do? And then they start to set this. stuff up where they're taking big swings with all this multiverse shit and it's and it I love the idea of the multiverse. I love the idea of where you can go with it, what you can do because now it if you look at what they've done thus far, they've already made all of the Sam Ramey and Andrew Garfield movies part of the MCU, which is right away a smart move. And now with the addition of Patrick Stewart and some people, those movies, the X-Men movies are now going to be part of the MCU. They're all going to kind of connect. So it's a

it's something that they've wanted to do for years when they couldn't, when they were, when they didn't have the money and they had to sell off X-Men and Spider-Man to those, to those studios, and they got Fantastic Four back. You're starting, you're going to, over the next like 10 years, you're going to start to see Marvel, you thought they were, you thought they, people were, oh, they're going to run out of stuff. Progressive Presents, adjusting to the suburbs. You just spot a home in the suburbs, but no one told you about all the birds, specifically this one, who seems to be calling out Roy.

Roy. But who exactly is Roy? And why doesn't he ever respond? Maybe Roy is just bird speak for save with Progressive by bundling your home and auto. I guess until Roy answers, we'll never know. Progressive casualty insurance company coverage provided in service by affiliates and third-party insurers. You're going to run out of shit. No. But I'm curious now that we're seeing, like, it started with Into the Spider-Verse, kind of after Endgame, and then we got the last Spider-Man that obviously connected universes.

And I feel like everything is going in that direction. Do you think that there's going to be any standalone stories moving forward? Yeah. Do those even work? I mean, look, Mootnett's standalone story, right? You don't think we're going to have other characters come in? You mean, oh, you mean that? So, will people cross over at all?

Yeah. I think that it's kind of, it's almost like you kind of have to, because even with Iron Man, the first one, once they set that up, it's been like a big television show where Nick Fury shows up, all these people show. It just shows, it's the comic book nature of it that everything's connected. So I always think someone's going to show up one way or another, the same way that like Kingpin showed up in the Hawkeye.

Yeah. I guess it also makes more sense because we, that's what they had to do in Eternals, which is like backtrack as why the Eternals didn't. step in because if you have a universe where we know everyone exist at the same time and you don't connect them it's like where were they when this was happening yeah and i think that they were and they even say that's that much in eternals where they brought that up so anyway a lot of great stuff happened and now real quick i think it's going to be a weird thing for job security because it's like you've got all

these multiverses and like uh yeah we got a different ironman now oh okay it's true it's true and and i'm telling Like so here's a question because I know we've all been on the opposite sides of this. Where when the James Dean conversation was coming up about replacement, you guys were on the other side of it, right? After seeing what they did with Luke Skywalker in the, well, the Mandalorian or Boba Fett, right? After seeing what that looks like now, you guys still on that page? Or do you think that, hey, we can still, did you see the footage of the new? Well, he's alive.

He's, you know. One day he won't. won't be, and they're going to be using, I'm telling you. If he signs off, I think my biggest thing is just the whole taking of somebody that has no say in it. But if the estate signs off on it. Yeah, I don't know. You don't know. With the James Dean thing, it was that they wanted to create new movies with him as an actor in it, right?

That's what they did with young Mark Hamel. Yeah, but that's a character. That's the only difference for me. It's the character. All right. So let's take James Dean out of it. So if Bruce Willis, if they got some actor to play young John McLean,

but they take his face out of it and they put young Bruce Willis's face on it and gave him a movie and someone comes and does his voice and you get someone who's more locked in to play John McLean and you can and the technology if it's the way it is now, imagine one's going to be like in 10 years from now. And it just looks like a young John McLean. The guy's acting better than Bruce Willis

but Bruce Willis has signed off on it. You know, what do you guys think? Do we need to do it? I mean, just because we can. Do we need to? I'm just, look, it's the Luke Skywalker thing. Because eventually they're going to do. Yeah, Luke looked sick.

He looked great. I mean, compared to what he did, you look so much different in Mandalorian to that. And then you look at what they're going to, the deep fake stuff is going to keep popping up in Star Wars. And everybody who's watching it is going to be so excited about it. But the second they start doing that to other actors, like I'll tell you right now,

if they had this type of technology, they probably would have held back on the solo movie. And they probably would have said, well, why don't we, why don't we wait for a second? Yeah. And maybe we're going to do a young solo.

Maybe we can actually get somebody who sounds like him, acts like him, and then just put his fucking face on it. Yeah. I think it's just a little scary. It is. As an actor,

for sure, I'm sure you feel that way. I mean, I'm done, but I say for the ones that work. Do you not see, I want you to move your head, for a second.

Move it out of the way. Do you not see that record? What are you talking about? Your time is done. My time is now. I see nothing but gold. The flouse. These are a reason that Steph Sabra is obsessed with the clown.

Are you kidding? There's only one guy I've ever flurried with on screen. The flouse. You can check the receipts. That is it. And there's a cartoon for you guys. It's so good. Oh, yeah.

It's so. Cartoon is great. It's really good. Anyway, so that all that stuff coming on is really, it's great. Marvel has a lock on the TV right now. They got a lock on, on the movies. And the flip side of that is D.C. right now, who's also, I mean, to say flip side, who's also killing it because you got this recording, this tomorrow or I guess tonight,

the Batman comes out. You saw it, Steph. Yeah. We didn't talk about it. Yeah. We didn't talk. And no. Oh, I really enjoyed it.

How dare you. It's not perfect to me. I really loved it and it was more so I'm happier. The fact that all I want is more Bruce Wayne, more of Robert Pattinson's Batman. And that's a good feeling to leave a movie with. Absolutely. My review of it was I thought it was a really good movie.

It did need to be almost three hours long, in my opinion. And so people are all movies don't have to be two hours. And I said, I get it. I like three hour movies. Wolf of Wall Street. I love three hour movies. Sometimes movies just don't. have to be, in my opinion. If you guys love every single frame of the movie, then that's great.

For me, it was like some shots went on all a little too long. But the detective story, I've been waiting for that for Batman forever and it's there. It is, Brett, when you see it, dude, because you're a Fincher fan. Yeah, yeah. It's got so much Fincher. And that's the stuff that I really loved. Like, all the Fincher stuff that they have and Colin Farrell's out of control good. Paul Dano's so good. There's so much great going on in this movie. The score is incredible. Colin Farrell is. Colin Farrell's unbelievable. Unrecognizable.

And I didn't know, Steph, if I wanted, I was like, well, what are we going to do with a Penguin TV series? Now after the movie, I'm like, give me a Penguin TV series. Yeah, because that's, speaking of the photo behind you, that's Mafiosa. It is. Absolutely. And speaking of that, and what I mentioned, Steph, one of our biggest critiques with Boba Fett, when we saw that trailer, they set it up, the way that they cut that trailer was this

was going to be a hardcore kind of gangster story. And people are like, well, it's Star Wars. Yeah, but you look at what he did with Bib Fortuny. he whacked him and he thought we were going to get more moments like that. And it really wasn't that. It was more about a redemption story for Boba Fett. This movie in the trailer is everything that they pitched you that it was. Absolutely.

Everything. That's so true. And it's also one of the few comic book movies that is genuinely sexy to me. Like it has like sexy undertones. The chemistry between Robert Pattinson and Zoe Krabbits is so, it's off the charts. I want her to come back to. She killed it. two biggest critiques of the movie.

And it definitely could, you know, and the good news, what I like what HBO Max is going to do now is apparently after 45 days, it's going to be on HBO Max. Oh, dope. Which is great. And I think that's a great plan overall. Yeah, I'm definitely going to watch it again. Me too.

And I probably wind up liking it because there's so much about it that I really enjoyed. My two biggest critiques, as I said, was the length of the film. And then the ending, when you put it together, the ending of the movie, when you put it together with everything else that is so fantastic about the detective story, the film noir stuff, the same. seven undertones the sexiness and the chemistry. The ending in the movie seems very much like a comic book movie ending and seems a little out of place from what they just set up.

From what they were setting up. Yeah. Yeah, because it kind of felt like outside of the classic comic book, step one, step two, step three movies where you hit, like Marvel has a formula and it works for them. But I think what is so strong about DC is that they don't. No. And what's so strong about DC and making me look at them differently.

because it used to be like Marvel all the way. And then now I'm like, I love that DC has made its bed with HBO Max and it's like, we are okay getting dark, raunchy, cussing, being sexy, whatever it is. You did it with Joker also. Yeah. Yeah. But I agree with your criticisms.

And I also would say I thought that there was not enough dialogue for Bruce Wayne's character. Yeah, no, there was. And we're doing a full spoiler on this on me, Winston, and Coy on Monday. And I'm putting my spoiler review that'll drop over the weekend. So I don't want to get too much into it. People are going to see it. Mine drops in 45 days. It does?

Let us know. On this show. On this show. Yeah. So, yeah, there's a lot to it. And I can't wait. And this is a movie where people are like, well, should I not see it in the theater. You absolutely should see this one. Yeah.

This is a movie you should absolutely see. As I mentioned, I really enjoyed the film. There's just a couple things that I had some issues with. But the other thing, Steph had mentioned what they're doing in HBO Max. please tell me that you two guys have watched A Peacemaker. I'm not finished. I know, I know. I know. It's fucking awesome.

Have you not watched it, Brett? No. Dude, you would love this show. Like, Eagley alone is your spirit animal. Fred, you would love this show. Did you watch the Suicide Squad? Yes. Did you like it?

Yeah. You would, this show is, and I love the Suicide Squad. This show's better than this show. No, and I was excited for the, I think. Overall, together, yeah. Okay, maybe I need to get to it because I heard the finale rips. Like, it's good.

Because it's, and I love, you know I love the suicide squad. Yeah. The reason why I like it, it's just, you're so attached to all the characters and you laugh, and you laugh so much in the suicide squad, but you're so attached to everybody. And vigilante is hilarious. Brett, this is so your sense of humor. I can't believe you know watching it. Yeah, Peacemaker and Suicide Squad was just, I was dying.

I can't believe you haven't watched this show. You will love this show. There's a, this. I've been studying TikTok. man. Trying to get my... Have you been doing Taita? No, I've been watching and writing down bits and things.

I've been trying to create my ideas and I have a bunch of them already. All right. Smart. I can't wait. I know, me too. But the algorithm is weird. Like, you got to post like 600 dual leap of videos and suddenly everything's clouded. I heard three.

Yeah, I heard three times a day. Three times a day. Oh, yeah. I need to get all that thing, too. Step posts a lot. And that's not a criticism. I'm trying to, I just started this month. So I'm trying to post at least once a day.

But ideally I would get to three times a day. We're doing right now, we have our, our Shmowdown TikTok has been, so David, Michael Frank and Ben Bateman, I've been handling our, our TikTok over there. And it's, if you haven't been following it,

you should because it's got a lot of great bits and stuff from trivia. And we put some Batman stuff up there. It did really well. I started a TikTok account and said, I'm too busy for this shit. I can't do it. It's just too hard because you just heard what Steph said and you got to post all the damn time. Yeah.

I mean, so, but that's your, you'd be great at it. But I'm telling you, but that's not an excuse to not watch a piecemaker. It really is. You would love it. All this to say. Yeah. Honestly, no, I have been like taking a lot of time and writing stuff and like I'm building up this, the stockpile of ideas that now I need to pull the trigger on.

Hold on for a second. You don't want you to stay right there. And don't fucking lie to me. Yeah. How many of these kitchen cooking shows you've been watching while you're doing all your Nothing? You're not watching anything? No, we haven't really been watching anything hardly at all.

We watched some murder show where some mom killed all her kids and her husband with your anxiety and that's what you're watching. Are you out of your mind? She poisoned their coke with an anapriens. Oh my God. Why would you do that? That's, no wonder you change in your medication. And the Olympics were on.

We did that. long time. Yeah, okay. None of that. None of that matters. How many episodes are you in The Peacemaker? I'm five episodes. Did you see the scene where in there talking about all the celebrities?

Oh, yes. The best. It's, yes. It's so mad. The whole thing was improv. The whole thing was improv. Yeah, the whole thing was improv. Like I talked to when I had, I had Freddie Stroma on this show who plays Vigilani.

Yeah, it did feel very authentic. I was talking about that scene. He's like, dude. So, spoiler. for people who haven't seen it, it's just a bit of the show. But Brett, so they're talking about this particular thing happens where peacemaker's mad about it. So this guy that he's working with, he's like, well, why'd you do that when you could have literally had done it to anyone else?

He's like, I couldn't think of anyone else. And he's like, you couldn't have thought of anyone else? He goes, all right, Mario Lopez, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. He's running through all these names and you're like, oh, my God, and it's hilarious. It's like a five minute bit. hilarious it's such the show is so funny what i love about the show and what and what they what they got me with was when i when i when i start when you first start watching the show they'll whatever the main plot of the show is they'll be going and they'll be talking about that plot and then two characters

will start talking and if they're like okay well you know there's this this water bottle and it's a blue water bottle is a blue water bottle they shouldn't have blue water bottles and they'll go on for that water bottle for like five minutes of just pure nonsense and start to at these random facts and you're like, how often are they going to do that? I hope they don't derail themselves. And then you start to root for them to derail themselves. Yeah, it's like family guy bits. Like they just don't stop and they keep going.

It's so funny. It's such a funny show. It was one of the best shows I've seen in a long time. And the opening, that music. Oh, yeah. It's the only show that I have. The better version of Hawkeye musical. Right, right.

You know, because it's actually like raunchy and funny. It's the opening. credits of that show is the only show that I don't skip the credits and I watch it every time. I'm telling you, Brett, you got for next week, you got to watch at least one. All right. You got to watch one. And just to let people know, Brett and Steph are going to be back on Big Thing. We got people back in the studio now.

Five days a week. Well, don't forget about SCN, by the way. Sien is on Patreon. We, we, you guys had got, we're not too far away from four episodes a month. At the moment, it's, I think we have about 360 patrons on that, S-E-N. Now, once we get to 500, there will be four episodes a month. Seems like you guys are having a lot more fun now on the show with not having to worry about the donations.

Is that true? Yeah, it's really fun. And it's like the core crew. And then you're, but you'll sometimes you'll go like, oh, nobody's sending in any. Like you forget. Do you like us? PTSD. I need a compliment.

Interrupt me. It's the truth. And now you have, it's just, it's basically like this. show now. So people who were wondering, you know, I stopped watching S.E.N. Live because the robot got to be too much. Well, you can go to the Patreon. And there's so many different benefits that we have now on that Patreon. Not only would you get SEM live right now three times a month. We also have the watch alongs that we do. We did the thing. Myself and Doreena last time. We did a full, we did a live episode of the big thing, myself and Kate. Next month, we're probably going to do a watch along of the

The Mask of the Fantasim, I've never seen it before. I've never seen it. So we'll probably do that one. So there's a lot of great tears over there. And obviously the Shmodam Patreon is kicking up and we're doing some more shit over there. Anything else that we should be talking about as far as TV or I guess I've never been as checked out of award season than I am this year. And it's not because of the movies. I just don't care.

I don't care. Yeah, it's about who gets acknowledged. I didn't even... Sag awards, I didn't watch them. I usually... That's the one I usually do because I'm like, oh, that's the actors voting and now... I think there's a reason why consistently,

every year, the ratings plummet on these shows. They plummet. Like, I think last year's Oscars was like the least watched one in like 40 years or something. I think it'll probably be the same thing this year. It's just... I don't think... Who cares?

And they don't make it accessible to the... to the everyday casual viewer. That's the reason why the views are going down on that show is because most, it's always been the thing, well, most people don't know the movies in general that are being nominated. And a lot of the movies have been nominated. Like, Cota, I just watched recently.

Cota is, oh, it's great. It's like, Cota's great. Yeah, that's my favorite of 2020. Oh, Cota is great. And so I don't remember the guy's name that was nominated, the father who was the first, oh, yeah. The actor who was nominated.

That motherfucker should win. Facts. He's great. Now, I'm not saying that people shouldn't be acknowledged for their work. I think giving the awards themselves should be acknowledged. But if you're going to start slashing and cutting like editors and shit away from it, just cut the whole damn show. Just announce who you should still honor it.

And you do like a big streaming thing for it. And you say, here's all the awards of the people. Don't waste television time on this shit anymore. They just don't know who they want to be in this new area. of media and it shows and I think Perry she was on World Girls. She had a really excellent point that she's like, I don't mind them changing the way they do things to get more viewership. But when you cut categories and then you now diminish what it means to win in those categories,

that's fucked up. Like that's not an Oscar then. Totally agree. That's why they should just slash the whole motherfucker. Just slash it. Like and just make it like a streaming thing. If you want to check out like streaming, do the whole thing. Have a blast.

Have a streaming, like you know, put it on either a streaming service or, or put it on the internet and say, here's the stuff we're going to do. When you do this whole big, it's not, it's not 1935 anymore. It's not 1970. It's not, it, the, these awards, they don't mean the same thing to the general public, the way that they used to. They just don't. People don't care the same way that they used to. To people inside, like, the, again, the acknowledgement of the work should be honored. And I'm not saying take away awards for that.

I think the big to do, they can't figure out who they want to host it anymore. That's a disaster every year. If they want to be funny, if they want to be serious. It's too much. And then because of it, it's like people, and right now, especially, because of everything going on in the world, what people do a lot of the time that where we are, especially in this nation, is that there is a, there are people that want to go and win their awards and then give speeches about the world and not talk about the award. that they just won. They want to talk about everything inside of what their moral high ground is. There are people that don't want to hear that.

There are people who do want to hear it, and then there's people who don't want to hear it. And there's people who say, well, they should be using that platform to make a statement. It's like they also have Twitter accounts. They also have other things that they can do. If you're going to, you have to be consistent of what are you trying to promote? Are you trying to promote an entertaining show that everybody can watch? Or you're promoting, like, what are you, what's the show? That's a question.

Watch Ricky Jervais's last one Golden Globes. The Golden Glove. Yeah, where he's like, get your little award and fuck off. And fuck off. Fuck off. Like, don't, you work for Netflix. Yeah, but that's right. And it's like, and again, it is, oh, and I don't agree with the sentiment of, oh, what are you doing is acting.

You shouldn't get in awards. That's bullshit. Oh, yeah. That's bullshit. Like, there's a lot of work. No, it's art. It is art and there's a lot that goes into it. What I'm saying is be considering.

and what your show is and what do you want your show to be? You want to make it an actual show. And I think that it's just too old school right now with putting it on, was it on ABC or whatever it is, and then people like, they wonder every year why the ratings are going down. It's not because you're putting in Best Editor and everything the show is too long.

It is too long, but that's not why. It's because people can't connect to it. Like the average person who just, like I talked to my buddy, John Pinto, who I brought up in this show many times. And like, I'm going to try a, John right now. And I got him, I got him once. I got him once before.

And I'm going to talk to him at the awards, and he doesn't, he doesn't watch the awards. And what he said about the awards is he just doesn't want to hear celebrities giving speeches about, you know, politics all the time. And he doesn't know half the movies. Yeah, I mean, there's just, yeah, way too much. Yeah, so there's just a lot. So I'm going to call John Pinto and see if we get John Pinto. Like his name. You might not pick up that.

It may be working. Work. You know, working. That's what we're doing. right now. Pick up, pick up, pick up, pick up, pick up, man. Sometimes he picks up,

sometimes he doesn't. That's all right. But either way. And I'm curious, I think that, as I mentioned, I still think there should be awards. I still think they should be presented in one way,

but I think, is anyone really going to care if you, if there was like, okay, tomorrow at 10 a.m., they're going to start to announce. Remember what they did with Disney Plus recently when they did the, and it was a shitty way that they did it,

but with Disney Plus, when they did their announcements, they were tweeting out. Yes. their announcements. Do that with the awards. Who cares? Why do you have to see it?

They do that with the nominations and I feel like they get more viewership on that. That's what I mean. And you get more engagement from it too. It's why because we want to see someone show up an address. Or they should just film the entire thing, pick the best bits and then do like a produced award show. You're still going to have a, right, where you edit it together. You edited it.

So there's not like that like stupid space of crowd work that. one gives a fuck about. And also calling it what it is too. It's like people are very easily offended these days too. So like you can't take risks on side of certain comedic bits and certain things too. It's just I just don't. And it's not just the Academy Awards. Look at Golden Globes got is gone.

I don't even do it anymore because. The MTV music award or video music awards used to be the most fun ever. Yeah. No one cares. Nobody cares. So it's like it's just it's nobody cares about it. I don't think anyone is saying you shouldn't acknowledge your work. But I just don't think, I think people are...

Nobody cares what you wear is true. It's true. The problem in this, nobody cares about excess. I'm paying $8 for gas. Yeah. I'm paying $8 for gas. Oh my God, gas. And you want me to give a, well, what are you wearing?

Fuck off. I don't care what you're wearing. You know, why don't you sell it and buy me four tanks of gas. You're wearing my rent for a year. I do care what they're wearing. But I also see your points. Yeah. But couldn't you want, couldn't you see that on a website?

site stuff. Well, that's exactly what I'm thinking. Like, we have too much access to everyone. Yeah. I know what all of my favorite celebrities are doing and wearing on the daily. And so it's not anything, I don't get anything that I wouldn't get every day at these awards other than seeing who wins because, like, even when they have, like, for the music awards, like performances, I can see performances on YouTube any second of the day that I want.

Right. Right. So there's just like, like, like back in the day, it was like, this is the chance you get to see the stars that didn't have social. media you have no idea what they act like off the screen right now i know everything about them because you're always locked into it you can see for sure but i think that if you had if the interaction on social media of like when you have these interviews of people and then you you know whether it's engagement what do you think of the the the this outfit blah blah blah you can advertise it all that kind of shit of it's it to me that works so much better than watching this pre-show and all this shit and it's like

who cares and as far as the other part of it when you're like we're in a different spot because when we when when we see these movies that they're mentioning we at least have heard the majority of them yeah right again using people like a john pinto who when he's like i'm going to tune in and he hears the best picture nominees he's not going to know any of them so when they come up and then he's like the whole point of it is you're supposed to be on the edge of your seat going all right shit i think that person's going to win but are they and it's such a small audience that cares because of the distribution of it. Nobody really, I don't know, maybe it's changing now because of streaming.

I don't know, but I just, I just don't care anymore. I don't care. And there's, I know a lot of people in the industry are upset that they don't air the, the, you know, the, what a bottom line? Yeah, yeah, below the line. Below the line, you know, but I mean, the sad truth is Joe, Joe Blow doesn't care about those either. They want to see the start.

So, yeah, let's get. give them that somewhere else for the people that do care about that. But that's why I say you got the whole thing. You got the, or don't put it, don't put it on prime time. No, it should.

Or, yeah, tell the big actors that if, you know, it's not going to do it anymore if we don't show the other. But just stream it. And some of the movies, like last year, Minari was one of my favorite movies of the year.

And it wasn't even available unless you paid $20 to watch it before the award season. Right. I don't even think it's still available unless you pay $20. It's like, how can the person give a fuck about this award? They're not going to know. And it's what they hope they're advertising as well, because everybody's talking about it. Now they're going to go out and see it.

And that, it boosts it. It's advertising. So it boosts it. But not so much that it's like in the public conversation. Like everybody knows what it is. Because, again, there's so much shit out there. It is so much content. And I also think that the, and this will never happen,

but the academy should loosen up and start nominating bigger commercial moves. in the in the best picture stuff that's how you'll get more people to watch because because they know the movies that they like and that they're watching yeah not getting a moment no it's all shit that and it's all and a lot it's Alex Marzo yesterday it is to shine it is but you know but the other side of it too is that like every time and my wife makes a great point when we watch this stuff is that the Cota not not Cota being a different version why I actually hope that Cota wins most of the movies whether it's a biopic it's It's dark, it's dreary. It makes, a lot of these movies don't make you feel good. And you're like, oh, that's the world sucks right now. It sucks with all the shit going on in the world,

whether it's the stuff going on with Russia and Ukraine, whether it's the pandemic. It sucks. And the last thing I want to do is watch a movie and go, ugh, let's go to sleep. Yeah. Like, Cota was great. Cota was a feel good movie.

And you just, it was an emotional, just family movie with a really good story, inspiration, like, great movie. Also, like, cut. exceptionally well. Yeah, it really is. I mean, did you see it yet, Brett? No,

I've tried at the trailer. It's great. It's going to be the biggest tearjerker, but in a good way. In a good way. It's a happy tier. Yeah. There's a scene with her and her dad by the car, right?

Yes. That scene will get you in a good way. Yeah. It is, especially as a dad. But it's a great scene. Christian, I know you picked up on this before.

It's a, You know the premise. This isn't like spoilery. It's about a deaf family or hard of hearing family. And she, the whole scene before is silent. And then that scene is with audio. And it's like,

what? I know. It's a great, it's a great movie. What's, I don't even know, what's nominated for Best Picture? I mean,

so checked out for, let's see, okay, I'll bring it up right now. Yeah. But not Dune. I remember that. No,

Dune was, wasn't it? No. Oh, it was for something else. Just direct. Director. Okay, but that's what I'm saying.

It's like, Dune is so much better than a lot of these movies. So I didn't see Nightmare Alley. So I didn't, I didn't see it. I saw it as though, it was good. Don't look up. I bailed on. I was,

I don't need to be preached to. So I bailed on it. It's fine. June was nominated. Oh, then he didn't get nominated for director. That's what it was. Drive my car,

I didn't see. I don't know what that is. It's not available yet. It's a three-hour movie in a foreign language. Apparently it's amazing, but it's not available. So Belfast, I did see.

And Belfast, I actually will retract some of my statements. I thought Belfast was going to be one of those dark and dreary movies that you know, looking like, oh, it's just going to be this kind of tragic thing. It's not. It's actually a pretty, that one I should say is a, is a pretty good movie. So it's like the trailer, because the trailer makes it look depressing. It's not. It's not depressing.

Liquorce pizza, I definitely, it's one of the most controversial movies this year, too. and I actually enjoyed that movie, but there's a lot of people who didn't enjoy it. The Power of the Dog is another one. Good. It's good. I think it's going to win, and I think it's completely overrated.

Me too. I think it's good. Me too. It beautifully shot film, very well directed, but I think it's completely overrated. I think it's a, I think that it's like a film fan,

like, you know, the film nerd is just like, oh, the power of the dog's the movie. You have to see the lighting. Yeah, super pretentious. That's what I'm talking. Completely. West Side Story I loved, loved it, but it's not a feel-good movie at the very end.

King Rich, you know, I take back a lot what I said here. I really do as I look through these movies. King Richard, I loved, and it is a feel-good movie, and so is Coda. So it's just, I guess, the majority of the time, a lot of these movies. I'm going to have to see the color palettes of all of these before I, make your decision. Yeah, but I mean, but you look at Coda and you look at King Richard, West Side Story, Power of the Dog, Liquorce Pizza. Well,

Liquorce Pizza, no. In Belfast, no, drive my car, no, and Dune. These are all movies

that are available to the public. Like King Richard was an HBO Max. I think a lot of, the casual fans could definitely have seen that. Westside story,

I don't think anybody wanted to see because they all thought it was just a remake of the movie, which it was a remake of the musical. And it's not available yet. Yeah, it is.

It's available on Disney Plus now. When? I think it just, I think it just came out. Okay. Yeah. And then COTA's an apple. Coata's on Apple.

So, You could pay your sag dues and then forget about your digital screeners and have them expire. That's another way to not watch. But I don't know. With the SAG Awards now? Now I will tell you that I think that even though, like I said, I retract some of my statements about the dreary miserable stuff for being nominated this year. Because out of those movies, not a lot of them are dreary miserable. And some of them are accessible.

But I still think that and that's just the best picture. Throw a weekend of Bernie's in there. We need something. Something. I mean, who knows? I don't know. I just, I still stand by the fact that I just don't think we need televised award shows anymore. I mean, again, when I say televised, I mean the mainstream, ABC, network TV. There's so much content on streaming services that if you put the stream, because the metrics on that are just so much different of what constitutes as good viewership as opposed to trying to get network views. When was the last time you looked at an Academy Awards and said, oh, they did great, crushed it. It doesn't happen anymore. Instead, to staff's point, like, you know what they're doing every day.

They're on social media. It's not, it's not special anymore. There's nothing that's like, oh, there they are. Right, right, it's not. So, anyway, that's, I like that conversation. That was a fun conversation. That's good. Mark it down.

Let's record this one. We should, we should. Did you guys see, it just came out, well, at this recording today, but bullet train, the trailer? No. So this trailer looks fun, man. It looks like it's, it's, it's, it's Brad Pitt. And he's on this, he's on this, he's on a train and a hence bullet train. But he, it's, it's kind of like got like a seven psychopaths feel to it or,

oh, what's that one? Shit, the other one that I, I can't remember the name of it. It's, it's got a guy Richie tone for sure. And it's, it's, it's, it looks really good. But it's, it's kind of the same argument that I've been having. I think that we're in such a different. place and we were getting there before the pandemic, I think that people are so

picky on what they're going to see in the movie theater because, not only because of cost, but because there's so many options on streaming now, what constitutes is worth it for the theater? Like the Batman, that's worth it for the theater. Dune, that's worth it for the theater. The Marl movies, the Star Wars movies, the DC movies, like all that stuff, it's worth it for the theater.

These are the big kind of impact movies. These smaller movies, like that Liam Neese's, movie that came out, this black light movie that came out, it was terrible, right? It was terrible. And in 2009, I understand why you put it out right after Taken. The movie ate a big pile of dog shit. Not only did it dog shit like in the theater. It ate dog shit. I did a review on it. Nobody gave a shit about that review. Because like, what the fuck is that? And it's like because nobody cares about it. And especially when you could just tune into something like that, anything like that on Netflix. So I hope bullet train does well. But do you, do you guys agree to,

Is there a place for movies like that in the theater anymore? Not really, unfortunately. I think we've all talked about this and agree. I would love to see the day where these streaming services have their own theaters and then they can play movies that are smaller because they're making so much money. And I think like that could be fun. You know, you're seeing it. Maybe there's a way that tickets are cheaper.

If you have a subscription, you can go there and it's more of like a communal activity, which I think is the beauty of a theater. but in terms of like how many people are struggling just money-wise, tickets are like 20 bucks now. That's an hour of work for most people. If you're making above minimum wage, and if you have kids, that's like a full day's work. So I totally, I wish we could preserve the theater as long as possible,

and I hope we do. But you can't possibly get mad at people for not seeing a musical in theater if that's not their thing. Right. And look, I always go to this. look at televisions now. I mean, if you've got a 72-inch flat screen, I don't.

I mean, yeah. I mean, Steph. Brett Hummine up. Yeah, why, you know, that's a beautiful, we used to watch on a four by three tube television. That's why we went to the theater because our home experience was so bad. I love to it. I love sitting in this office, putting the curtains up, closing it off because of my soundbar.

The sound bar alone. You can pause, you can pee. You can. Yeah, I mean, the sound bar alone. Like, I watched, when I watched a dark night in here. And it was just the sound of it. I was like, oh, I just got to chill, sat back, relaxed, watched it. And I was like, man, it was just so much fun to be able to do that.

And I don't know, man. I don't know. It's like it's just harder because money does come into play. But I just think because of the, and it's just too much of a risk, I think. It's why you get movies like Red Notice now, right, for Netflix. Because they know that if you have the money that you're getting from subscribers and you can put the money into the budget to get these big stars and whether it's knives out, and all these other things.

To me, that's a better strategy because you have more of an option of people who actually sitting back watching it, but it also then starts to take away from those movies like a bullet trainer, and too saying, well, I can just watch Knives Out or a movie kind of similar at home, and it doesn't feel like that kind of big epic theater experience.

Some people just want to go out still. I mean, I think that once we finally start to get back to real life, which it seems like we're getting closer to, but I still think there's going to be those moments where people are like, I just want to go to the movies tonight. And what's playing right now? Oh, Bullet Train? What's that?

I just think the problem with Bullet Train is that bullet train comes out in like June. And you've got all the big movies that are coming out during that time. So I hope it does well because it looks, it looks really fun. It looks really fun. It's a movie I'm pretty excited about. You said Brad Pitt. Yeah, Brad Pitt. Sandra Bullock is the voice in it.

But you should watch the trailer. I love Sandy Bullock. It's really good. She's not. She's like a her, like a Siri. Yeah, kind of. She's kind of, but she, she, it's not, and Aaron Taylor Johnson is in it.

So here's the stuff that's coming out. Let's see. And we're talking about the summer, right? Dr. Strange and the multiverse of madness, that's going to dominate the entire month of May. Yeah, because you can get a fire starter. DC League of Super Pets will do well for kids, you know. And Top Gun comes out at the end.

I think Top Gun will do well because nostalgia is working right now. And it just depends on how much money they spent on it and how much they think it's going to make. But I think Top Gun does really well. That was supposed to come out forever ago. A while ago. Yeah. Well, they stopped because what they, this is why I feel really good about Top Gun. Because it was supposed to come out a long time ago.

And they kept pushing it back because of the pandemic. And while other movies were putting all their big releases on streaming, they said, No, we're going to wait. So that means they have a lot of confidence in it. Oh. Yeah. So that's the way I read it. What do you guys think about this one?

Have you ever seen the first Top Gun stuff? No. Oh, wow. Yeah. You got to watch that. I do. I do. I've heard only great things about it.

I actually, this is Tom Cruise classic, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I've been not great at watching Tom Cruise films, but I should. Like, I liked, I've watched one Mission Impossible. I actually really liked it. Which one did you watch? I think I don't, this is probably a really standard description, but they were on jet skis. And Jesus.

I don't know, but they do blend together, but they're really good. Did you watch the Kingsman? I did. What did you think? So my review on that one, the first Kingsman, I love. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I love that one.

Second one, I did not like it all. And I love Matthew Bond. It was okay. You know, I didn't hate it. The reason I didn't like it is because I thought that the tone should. shifted dramatically where the first one was such a nice blend where there were some serious moments but it was like this kind of there was some cartoony shit going on for sure and it was a kind of a satire on the james bond films and everything too and it was just a great blend the music was

really good it was it was great the violence was out of control that church scene oh so it's a it's a great movie the second one the very ending of the first movie that tone is the entire tone of the second one and it was too cartooning and over the top for me and it became a complete goof and I didn't I didn't like and Julianne Moore who I love I thought was the worst part of the whole movie and I love her and when you make Julian Moore the worst part of a movie that you got problems the third movie is so interesting to me because it it has a it's like it's a war movie like a serious war movie with some with with some deep history involved like I'm a history buff So like the whole assassination of Archdued Ferdinand,

they go, they go into it, and they do all of that and they go, but they change it up and they play with it. And then there are some of that, that Kingsman tone that pops in there, that feels out of place, but of the serious war drama that they were making. So there's a lot that I liked about it.

And there's a, it was kind of an inconsistent tone, but it was, it was fun. It was fine. Yeah. Did you like it? I felt the same.

It was fine. I watched it with my family, because we watch action films with my dad's around. And it was fun. There's definitely some scenes where you're like, that's like fantastical bullshit. But okay. We're just going to run through a line of bullets for 80 seconds shot.

But that's what I'm saying. That's the inconsistency of tone because they set you up. They give you certain rules. The rules are this is like every other war movie you've seen or like real life. That's the rules. But then like you just mentioned, And then there's that scene with Rasputin. Like Ray finds is like running on wall.

Yeah. Yeah. There's like it's just the tone is all over the place. It's just like there's two, it's two different movies in one. And there's, because there's some stuff that happens in the, in the real drama that's great.

And there's stuff that happens in the fantastical shit that's great. But it's just like, it's just a weird blend. That didn't necessarily work for me. But I saw my review. There were some people who really, really loved it. Good.

So that's great. Good for them. Yeah. Good for them. But we were going before, before we talked about that. There was another bullet train. Oh, no, no.

No, Top Gun and then bullet train. It was like 20 minutes ago. No contact. No, but. It's the story of my life. James Dean. But Top Gun is one of those movies where it's not as consistent with the tone of these big movies that we're talking about. But it's still got the nostalgia.

It's still got Tom Cruise. So it has a shot to do really well. And because they've been holding it off for a bit, I think it does really well, right? Yeah. June, you got Jurassic World, which is going to crush. It'll do really well. light ear, which will also do very well for chills. Yeah, that looks good.

Yeah, and now I'm pumped to see it even more. So I was already, but my, I was so bummed for a while because I couldn't get my four-year-old to watch any of the toy stories for the life of me. She was just, it was like I was trying to get her to eat broccoli. And I'm like, and I tried watching one of them with her. She's like, I don't like it. And she turned it off. And I was like, oh, I was bummed. And then she has this whole, she has this book.

and she starts reading one of the stories and it had Jesse the Cowgirl and Buzz doing these dances and everything and she just loved it and I was like you want to give it another shot and then she just fired through all four in like a week.

So she loves it now and now she really loves Toy Story so when Lightyear comes out my fingers crossed and I still think that I'm probably pissing in the wind here but I'm hoping that I can get her to she still hasn't seen a movie in the theory yet.

It's been, it's been, you know, it's been, my youngest saw, my oldest saw one when she was like two, like, about to turn three. But the youngest hasn't seen one yet because of the stupid pandemic. Yeah. So I'm hoping, I'm hoping I can get her to see that would be her first movie, but we'll see. Elvis, that trailer looked great. Yeah. We didn't get to talk about that, but that was cool. Elvis looked really good.

And I was one of my most anticipated way for Bowser's Lerman. So I think Elvis has a shot to do really well. because it's Elvis. Yeah. You know, and Elvis still sells tickets, man. Still sells tickets. July,

Minions is probably going to do good for kids. And then Thor, Love and Thunder is going to take over July. I can't wait for Thor. No doubt. Yeah. And then the end of July, which probably will carry into August,

will be Black Adam. Yeah. And that's going to, and again, the movie that we're talking about here, the big budget, whether it's Jurassic Park or D.C. with Black Adam or Marvel.

And then August. I hope. Black Adam. I hope this is The Rock doing a John Sina for Peacemaker. Like I never really liked John, not, yeah, I know what you mean? Yeah, he's just like an okay, like it was like

it just was always John Sina. Like when I saw him in Fast and Furious, I'm like, this is just John Sina. Yeah. Playing John Sema. You didn't see him in the Fred movie? Was he in the Fred movie? Yeah, he played Fred's dad. Are you kidding me? He was either the movie or the show. It was so bizarre. He lived in a refrigerator. He always popped up in a refrigerator. What's so bizarre about that is I hadn't mentioned Fred and I don't know five, 10 years, right?

Yesterday I was doing a video and Fred came up and then two times and two days Fred comes up. Still making stuff and still. He doesn't do it in the weird voice or whatever, but still has tons like millions and millions of followers. He built up. Yeah, it's Fred. He was the first one I'd saw like merch popping up and like Toys R Us and stuff. Him and Jojo C. But Steph, you're right.

The rock, the rock, though, I think, has more, had more of a catalog than I think he had. No, 100% the rock's been, I feel John Sina wouldn't be doing what John Sina is doing if it wasn't for the rock. Right. Starting that phase of, like, having these wrestlers come in and becoming real actors. But I, I think I haven't, like, I always still see the rock. And I'm liking the way D.C. is moving. So it would be just cool to see him. It's going to be a villainous.

Yeah. So, I mean, I, it says to me, has the opportunity to do what Arnold did back in 84 when he was the Terminator. Yeah. Because he was coming off of Conan the Barbarian, this beloved bodybuilder, and then they made him the villain, which could have been detrimental to his career. And it was the opposite. So I would like to see that with The Rock.

I think he's played the villain, I think, once or twice, but not anything as memorable as this. And eventually you would assume that they probably turn black. I don't know enough about Black Adam to know if he's going to, if he turns good or not. I assume that he does, but maybe I'm wrong. August doesn't seem to have shit coming out. Anything like that worth notice.

September is always usually pretty... There God, it's me, Margaret. What is that? Is that something? That's that old book. Oh, is it? Okay. Well, there you go.

Well, October 7th is going to be Spider-Man again across the Spider-verse part one. Oh, I can't wait. That's going to do really well. Halloween ends. Now, here's the thing with Halloween. Oh, no. I know. The first Halloween, and I don't mean the very first one,

but the one that came out in 2018, I enjoyed a lot. This second movie is one of the worst movies I've seen in a very long time. Halloween kills. It was shit. Like really bad. And I thought that we were in trouble because I said, oh, they filmed it at the same time. Apparently they didn't. So hopefully they took some notes and they changed it up because that second movie was God awful.

It was really bad. Really bad. It was really bad. Evil dies tonight. That's right. November 4th, the Flash takes over. And that's going to be basically with Michael Keaton coming back. that movie's going to destroy.

You got Beegee's movie, David O'Russell movie. Creed 3. November is stacked. November is stacked. Got a flash, Begis, David O'Russel, Creed. That's great. I'm loving. December 16th, got Aquaman and Avatar going head-to-head.

Interesting. So you got a pretty good, you got a pretty good slate there. And then apparently Knives Out. Two is coming out in fall on Netflix. I don't know what that is. There's a bunch of shit coming. During 2022, Sherlock Holmes Street, they said, really?

Two meter two. Two meter two. So is that with Alicia? Vakander, yeah. That's what it sounds like. Sesame Street. Yeah, Sesame Street was supposed to come. Sesame Street's been pushed back, man.

There's another one my daughter's been getting into recently, but like January was supposed to come out and there's no word on it. Trust me, I've been looking for that one. Well, what's, is it? It's a, it's got, who the hell is, I think Ann Hathaway is in it? So like a, like, a, like a Muppets. It's not like a documentary type.

No, no, no, it's a movie. It's a movie. I'm going to take, I'm going to, that's, that's the beauty is that, your kids are too old now for Sesame Street.

And like my, my oldest is definitely too old for it, but I still got a shot to watch a Sesame Street movie in the theater with my four-year-old. And that's going to be, I'll go. Yeah, you can come with us.
