The flash premiered at CinemaCon and the internet is a buzz, our very own Christian Harlaw saw it and said the hype is real. Other critics, not so much. I'm excited to get into that. Plus, the Wonka hype is also real, Barbie, Aquaman. There's a lot of news today. Let's get into it. But don't forget, we are now on Spotify. Wow, Spotify sounds even cooler when you say it like that.

You can see our pretty faces, especially Brett's look so handsome today. Also, we are trying to, we are on the road to 100,000 subscribers. You know we are serious because Brett got on Christians back for this one. Take that as you will. So please help us. If you're not already subscribed, what are you doing here? You come and you watch us all the time. You don't even subscribe.

Gosh, mom, it's so sad. They don't even like us that much. Yeah, we got so much news to talk about that. I don't even know that I can give you guys a love life update. That's the problem. But the update is that there is no update. Maybe there's an update in Brett's love life. Brett shared it everybody.

Hey, that's me. Look at me. Look at me. Look at me. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Brett, how are you feeling on the ones and twos? I'm doing pretty good. I haven't called out a camera angle yet, so I think that's pretty good.

Oh, that's the bar is on the floor. See how it went to the wide shot without drawing any attention to? Oh, wait. Yeah, yeah. Totally. No attention was drawn at all. Here's the deal Christian got to go see the flash

He's gone He's live in La Vegas Loja Sure There's so many expressions About Vegas I had to go with Livin La Vida Loca Yeah

And then said Aloha He's what's happening in Vegas Comes back from Vegas Because he's talking about the flash here Whatever he's in Vegas Enjoying his life watching all the things that come out of cinema con Which feels like it's a much bigger con this year and we'll

break that down but somehow some way even though he knows what Brett and I did last week he allowed us to do this show again like kind of shocking yeah yeah I am pretty shocked but I think you know it is

necessity he's just like well I guess that's what we have to do no I think we got a good response didn't we I didn't check I was I occasionally peep in there for some reason I didn't want to check on this one he called you Brad there's something Did you see that in the text? This is the text from yesterday.

I'll actually just out everybody here. This is my favorite thing to do on the show. I texted last night at 8 p.m. We good for tomorrow? Christian said, if you guys want to do the show together again, Brett, up to you. If you can run the graphics. And then he talked about when his flight leaves,

so he wasn't going to be here and said, I was just about to text you guys, actually. But if you guys want to run the show tonight, I can send you notes for tomorrow. Brad, let me know. That's a talk to text. Obviously. Yeah, yeah.

He only talks to text and he thinks it makes sense and never does it fully make sense. But okay, so Brad, what do you think? How are we doing so far? I think we're doing great. Except for we just need to dive right into the little opening song, right? Isn't that what we forgot? Wait, why didn't you play it? No, I was waiting for you to go, okay, and that's what, so let's try that.

Back it up. And no, we're not cutting this part. Wait, but that's on you. After we do Spotify and the subs, you're supposed to put in the music. Oh, I thought I'd go to you, and then you go, so get ready for a great show, this is the big thing.

We should have discussed it ahead of time. You would be great. We did discuss it ahead of time. So far, so fucking good, everyone. Nailing it. You know what it is? It's a true stumble through. Yeah.

Yeah. It's a true stumble through. When it's me and you, we stumble through. And I will get better. I think, you know, I mean, look at Christian. He didn't, he wasn't great at doing this right from the start. Oh, do you need words of affirmation for you right now? I think you are doing the best you can do.

And would you believe I'm actually quite knowledgeable in this sort of thing? Like I was the tech for theater productions in high school and college. I believe it because. because you're saying it right now, would I have known it otherwise? No. Maybe not. It is,

this is the most mean, rude comment that I'm going to make, but I'm going to do. Watching you stumble through this does make me know how hard Christian is working. Yeah, yeah. Because he makes it so seamless. Yeah, yeah, it really does.

Except for, you know, I mean, occasionally he'll pull up the wrong thing and, you know, we'll giggle at it, but, you know. Oh, you're just trying to shade Christian. I'm saying, I'm saying, even the best. You know, and also, if I tore this all apart right now, he wouldn't know how to put it together. All right, what if I do this? Then we're doing the capes and cows thing.

Oh, all right. Hold on. What if I do this? That is the sick couch theme. Okay. What if I do this? Nothing. You got to go over to the next bank.

Okay. Oh, one more. Well, I am your fairy princess. Christmas, I'm sorry, I didn't catch your name. Princess Esmarylda. Oh, is that what you, your Princess Esmarylda?

Okay, how's it going up in the tower? Oh, it's wonderful. Except for, oh, I've been... Overpower by Evil Beast. I don't know why I'm trying to make it deeper. And you could just talk normal. Yeah, I could just talk normal. This is one of my favorite voice songs.

This, oh, this is the chipmower. Man, for some reason when you're a chipmug, you gotta talk like this, man. I'm so sorry, Christian's gonna kill me back. I never get to play around. Well, yeah, this is for you, Rocks, every time you're like. Mother f***. Couldn't be. Are you loving it?

No, that was good. So now we know that I can run this as well. Yeah, yeah. It's just that easy. And you know what I can really do? I was going to I was going to say mute our mics but then I actually didn't know how

Oh this These little guys Oh okay Well All right Now that I've figured it out It may not need Yeah

That's at the beginning of that Okay You're back with Roxy And Brett on K95 The Future Rock and Roque Have you ever want to be that kind of DJ? It's more like

How's everybody doing tonight? Thank you. Thank you. We have shit we got to talk about. Oh, that's right. That's right. There's stuff. Yeah, okay. So let me ask you how much information you retained from last week to start. There's nothing to do with today's show. Okay. Who are the members of Fantastic Four?

Who are the members of Fantastic Four? We have... Change the camera, right. Oh, you want to be on me? Yeah. We have Mr. Fantastic. also known as Reed Richards. We have Michael Chaless. Yep.

Is Sue Storm one of them? Or is that from the X-Men? And then there's the... It's just Storm? The Storm is in the X-Men. Okay. There's... Well, and then there's...

Okay, the one guy does fire, I think. And the one guy's the rock guy, the Chick-Lis character. When I'm gathering is you've retained it all. Yeah, I've retained all that information. And the villain is? The villain in Fantastic Four is, it's their selves. Their selves. They wrestle with their conscience.

In all of the, yeah, yeah. Every single one. Yeah, and what do they call that? They're just wrestling with their conscience. Honestly, I do call my conscious Dr. Doom. Yeah. That's what they, when they're speaking about Dr. Doom, they're talking about internal doom, dread.

That all makes perfect sense to me. Now let's talk about the news of this week and see how we do. Yeah, I think it's going to be just as good. Okay. We have talked about The Flash on this show. I actually, I think Christian deleted the comment. I'm so sorry, Christian. I can't help, but I got to bring it up.

If you didn't delete it, then I missed it. I can't help but die laughing about this. Last week, you and I were talking about Jonathan Majors, and somebody wrote in the comments, how come you've never spoken about Ezra Miller on this show? I just wrote back. literally spoken about Ezra Miller every week. Yeah.

For, I mean, it feels like at this point for the last four years. More than that, I hosted DC Movie News. I was speaking about Ezra Miller when they chokeslam the girl to the ground in Iceland years ago. Like, I have no. I don't feel like I've gotten a break from Ezra Miller for half of a decade. Yeah. I think a better comment would have been, why hasn't Roxy shut up about Ezra Miller? Right.

Because that would have actually, it would have been trolly, but made sense. Right. Because I can't shut the fuck up about Ezra Miller. Despite even at that time the internet being like, don't talk bad about Ezra Miller. Like that's our flash. Okay. Now it's actually happening, Brett. Like all the years of talking about the both Hawaii assaults, the Iceland assault, the potential, the alleged grooming situations, the burglary, the trial, all the years of talking about that and like, what's Warner Brothers going to do?

Are they going to have Ezra be the Flash? Are we going to see this? Is Ezra going to do press for this? How are people going to speak about Ezra? All of that culminated last night. Yeah. By the time you're watching this two nights ago at Cinemacon, when this movie premiered to audiences who came from far and wide,

such as Christian Arloff, who got himself on a plane, to go see. There's no way Christian was going to go see this if the Flash wasn't played. Oh, yeah. I don't think, yeah, they're taking a one-night trip to Vegas was definitely because the hype was so big on this. And now we're getting the first reviews. And it seems to me, and you tell me how you feel and we'll go through some of those reviews, seems to me that people are saying this movie is very good in general. But it is not receiving the kind of response that I was expecting it to receive when we heard things like,

this is as good as the dark night. This is the best superhero movie of all time. This movie needs to be shown. They cannot can it because it is going to blow every other movie out of the water. It doesn't seem like that's the response. The response seems to be this movie's fucking good. Is that how you're kind of gauging it too? Yeah, yeah, not the it had to be made kind of a thing.

It's really good, but not like, oh, I can totally see why. they had to put this out despite what's going on. What's going on? What's going on? What's going on? What's going on? What's going on? Okay, let's see what G-Man had to say about it.

Alrighty, let's do that. Okay. From our very own G-Man, Warner Brothers pictures has been very confident. Oh, sorry. This is the, he needs two screens. That's the thing. But, Brett, I can't, do you know that I can't read

when you do that? now the image is up. One of the pictures have been very confident. Not about my ability to read, but about their flash film adaptation. So much so that they screened the film tonight for thousands of exhibitors and press at CinemaCon in Las Vegas nearly two months ahead of the movie's release.

On top of this, there were no restrictions on social media reactions, and they're so early verdict. And so the early verdict on the film is coming out now. The result, they definitely seem to have a winner on their hands with that early buzz, a much more on point than expected. Is it more on point than expected? There are raves all around for many aspects of the film.

One of the only criticisms being about the CG battles, which is par for the course in modern superhero movies. Here's a sampling of reactions. Could you zoom in? Yep, the flash is as good as rumored. It's Back to the Future, Meet Spider-Man No Way Home, with all humor and heart of the former, and action and surprises of the latter.

If anything, it might be a tad too ambitious, but it's also just incredibly satisfyingly heartwarming and fun. That's coming from Germain Lucier. You love Germain? Oh, yeah, one of my favorites in the scene. Oh, no. Gerald, I think. Oh.

I don't know. Okay, let's see what Eric Davis said. Take it away, Brett. DC's hashtag, the Flash, is tremendous. all uppercase. Forget DC. It is without a doubt among the best superhero

films ever made. An all-timer, innovated, storytelling, fantastic, all-caps, action sequences, great cast, so many nerdy details. I'm in tears at the end.

Everything you want from a superhero film and more. I'm honestly floored. It's so good. As a monster, Back to the future, fan, it has B.T.

Back to the Future Fibes all day. Michael Keaton is amazing as expected. And this is the best Ezra Miller has been as The Flash. Affleck gets some of his best Batman moments too. And Sasha Kaya. Kaye rocks. Hashtag the Flash, Eric Davis from Fandango. So these are looking really, really good.

Dan Casey says Flash is very good, especially given how oversaturated we are with multiverse stories. It's really savvy, charming, take-on Flashpoint that effectively wields nostalgia rather than weaponizing it, some genuinely delightful set pieces too. You don't have to scroll down. I was getting so we could plan ahead for the next one. Are we going to just stop?

You notice that you didn't scroll down during years at all? I didn't know, because I used to run one of those... Teleprompters, but it was all in the one thing. Yeah. It was just in the one. All right. All right. I'll try harder.

Brett, you're doing amazing, sweetie. Okay, so these are some of the ones that they are highlighting. Scroll down for a second, Brett. I know I just told you you don't have to scroll down. I wonder if there's any bad ones that they're saying. No, it seems like they are highlighting all good ones. Here's what I saw from our very good friend of the show, Jeff Snyder, who I don't know that this is about the flash, but to me it seems like it's about the flash.

This is what Jeff said. I don't know whether he saw the movie. I don't know where it comes from, but he said just scant. initial reactions, embarrassing. I'm embarrassed for my profession. Not even a whiff of criticism. A bunch of easy lays, I tell you. There are only a handful of critical voices.

You can trust these days. It's sad. And yes, I know this tweet is going to get me killed. I'm like, so does that mean you saw it and you didn't like it? Because that was like pretty harsh. It's pretty harsh for, I wonder, did you see it? You didn't like it? You thought everybody else loving it?

Or you just like, where's the criticism? Because I feel like people are being, they're not being just. like, it's every part's amazing. There are some critiques of the CG, you know, and they're saying it's good. Some people are saying great. Yeah, I don't know if it's just, is he upset that it still came out kind of a thing? I don't know. Everybody's still watching it.

How dare you be on board? Or maybe he did see it and thinks everybody's a shill? Do you have any moral debate inside watching this movie? Yeah. I mean, it's, it's, there's a lot of that going on lately more so than before of, uh, really feeling like, oh, should I be supporting this and separating art from artists? Because I've been pretty like, uh, you know, adamant about like not really, I'm done with, uh, what's his face, Mel Gibson. I've really not cared to see anything of his. And I don't know why.

why he's still touted as this, you know, wonderful director and stuff. That's because you have guilt about that. Oh. Generational trauma. Generational trauma. And, yeah, so this one is tough. I mean, it's, you know, again, we're going off of allegations, so you can't definitively say, like, you know, what's happened.

So, I don't know. It's a tough one, Rocks. It's a tough one. But I'm never been so adamant about seeing a movie that I wouldn't wait until I find out if this is something that I should be supporting. So if you heard that The Flash was not good and you know everything with Ezra, would you not see the movie? Yeah, probably. But you're hearing it's really good. Yeah.

So. Yeah, that's tough. So you're going to see it. Well, you know me. I mean, I'm different. I'll see it maybe on streaming. I'm not going to go. I wouldn't go out of my way to see it in the first place,

and I'm definitely not really going out of my way. But, uh, oh, it's rough rocks. It makes us all, like, deal with, like, stuff. What are your boundaries? Yeah. It's like, it's hard being a white man. To decide whether I should pour this. No, I don't know.

It's just, it's, it's, it's, it's. It's, it gives you. So why do you think you have a harder time getting into the psyche of Brett watching Mel Gibson movies than Ezra Miller movies? Because, Mel Gibson's been that for more years? Oh, well, no. And also, I mean, we flat out had audio of, you know, we have the video of the choke or anything. But like, we did, I guess we do have some video of Ezra getting, yeah. It's just, I don't know, there's that, that hot tub thing, that, that conversation.

like talking to the cop and just like icky stuff and horror you know Are you talking about Mel or Ezra now? Mel Gibson Okay because Ezra there's that's icky stuff there too

Yeah there's that talking to the cop And screaming Yeah I mean I guess I don't have a trouble With either one of them I guess I guess the biggest trouble You don't? The biggest, no I mean I don't have trouble

Not supporting either one of them But my I would say the Because you think the actors from The Last of Us video game are not good. Yeah, because in the video game, it's horrible. This is going... It's a joke. This is gone well.

No. No, I don't mean to put you in the hot tea. No, I get what you're saying. It's hard to talk about because I have weird boundaries with shit too. Like, okay, let's just like... Okay, this is a weird one, but like Snoop Dog consistently posts things like justice for Bill Cosby. support Bill Cosby.

Okay. And it's like, because I feel like people don't take that part of him so seriously, everybody screams every one of Snoop's lyrics. Yeah. And like, society hasn't turned on Snoop, and I'm not suggesting that they do.

No. I'm just saying, like, Snoop's two main platforms are justice for OJ and justice for Bill Cosby. I did not know that. And Instagrams it consistently all the time, which is it is prerogative

but then like you know some other artists they do say something at one time and maybe because we take that aspect of them more seriously we're like I have a hard time

but I have no problem listening to Snoop and so I question myself all the time I'm like what is my boundary like I don't know what it is is it if I can enjoy the movie like if I can go see the flash and not be thinking about

what Ezra did then is that my boundary? Like, it's not a distraction. And how do you know if something's a distraction until you're there? Like if the movie's so good that you're not thinking about it, is that what the line is?

There's also the element of then this is a collaboration. This isn't him doing like, this isn't like the Ezra Miller stand-up show, you know, which is still a collab, but I mean, there's so many people and so many, you know. Yeah, but it is,

we're not watching Justice League. It is the flash. The flash. Yeah, yeah. I know. I'm going to see. The truth is I'm going to see this movie. Well, yeah. So I'm hoping I get the invite and don't have to pay for it.

If I don't, I'm going to pay to go see it because it's my job. I'm not stoked. No. I wish, like, this is so rude, but part of me kind of wished it sucked. Like, if the reviews came out. So you could say that. And, you know, I'm like. Yeah.

And, like, what does that say about me that I'm more willing to see? see Ezra Miller on screen as long as they're good? I, it really, this one among anything else Lely is really testing our separating art from artists, I think, because it's,

we're in it. It's not like there's been a trial or anything like that and we've heard it. So we're kind of in it. So you've got to take sides even knowing what you... Do you think you would be different if there had been a trial had taken place before this? They had been proven and guilty and they were serving time?

You would think so. You would, I guess you would. Who would think so, you? I would think that it would make a difference, but I'm being surprised every day by these things. You know, there's a, yeah, we could go into all that, but I guess we're just, you know. Instead, I think it's a really nice time to hear from the people that support us.

Let's hear from our sponsors. This episode is brought to you by Better Help. You guys know. how I have been talking about better help, how it has helped people on this show, how it has helped a lot of you. And now we can tell you more, once again, about better help.

That's how good I am. Can we get on the wide or something, Brett? Oh, shit. I was trying to set up roxy for the next and. And you didn't, because the ones and twos are new to you.

Take it, Brad. I pulled them up Now I'm ready to go We talked about The Flash And now we're through Because we didn't want to get Too political with you

But now Rox is gonna tell you about Boom Oh now I got to give you the article Don't I? So good Brett, Brett, that was actually excellent Cinnamon. Let's talk about cinnamon.

Have you ever tried the cinnamon challenge Where you put the whole teaspoon in your mouth And you died? I didn't try it I watched people do it going like He has a stupid Wow, you're a wimp, bro Well, because I knew if I know something's gonna...

You're a wimp that you didn't want to get killed by cinnamon I didn't want to cough it up So here's what's up Wurner Brothers, oh gee man, thank you Warner Brothers picture held at CinemaCon presentation along with It's the Flash, Dune Part 2 Meg to the Trench, trailer presentations

that they already reported on. They showed off a bunch of other stuff too. Some of it was Aquaman and Lost Kingdom. So I know that they showed some footage of this. I know that they had some footage of Amber Hurd in there. I wonder what the sound in the room was when Amber Hurd got on screen. Also Nicole Kidman footage returning. So that's cool.

The Black Manta footage that was shown, I guess that there was a moment where he was using his trident giving him powers people seemed really stoked about that he has to pair up with his brother on patrick wilson you know he's one of my favorite interviews i ever did oh really patrick wilson was so dope just a delight awesome class act i actually interviewed amber heard that same day oof people aren't going to like this she was lovely to me i bet uh then there was some blue beetle stuff. And I know Christian's been so hyped about that movie

because friend of the show is starring in it. Some Barbie stuff. Both Ryan Gosseling and Margo Robbie in all pink and white showed up on stage. Ryan Gosselin was very funny talking about Barbie and talking about his experience.

He said this. I had up to this point, I only knew Ken from afar. I didn't know Ken from within. If I'm being really honest, I Gouted my kennergy. I didn't see it. Margo and Greta,

I feel like they conjured this out of me somewhere. One day, I was bleaching my hair and shaving my legs and wearing bespoke neon outfits and rollerblading down Venice Beach. It came on like a fever, like a scarlet fever. Why is there fake tanner on my sheets? Why am I wearing jackets without shirts?

What just happened? You know what that reminds me of? What's that? Moving to L.A. like slowly becoming L.A.ified. Yeah. Like when I moved here from Boston and then like, you know, the first time I died my hair blonde and then I went back home and my friends were like,

shut the fuck up. What are you doing with blonde hair? And then you go back east and you're tan because it's sunny here all the time. People are like, what is happening to you? And then all of a sudden I dropped 25 pounds because like you're active out here just because that's like the lifestyle because it's not snowing all the time. And people are like, oh my God, you. L.A. bitch. And I'm like, where did this come from? I'm still Boston, I swear. But that's the Ryan Gossing of it all. You know this is my number one most anticipated movie of the year.

Really? Really. I'm not saying that in a bad way. I think it sounds wonderful. I'm surprised that with the trailer or the scene I saw with the I'll beat you off. Beach. I love that. I like it, but I'm like, is that too much to, This is not for kids, I don't think. It's not for kids. Now, I'm surprised that the Barbie people are down with that because I feel like Barbie's pretty squeaky clean when it comes. She puts the squeaky in clean. Yeah, for being, you know, proportionally impossible, as we've discovered, Barbie is pretty.

Did you see they revealed the first Down syndrome Barbie yesterday? No. Yeah, it was really cool, actually. I saw this on social media. They made the first Down syndrome. Barbie, they partnered with a woman with Down syndrome and they talked about like she's got a special necklace on that identifies. There's like three upwards arrows.

I guess that's a symbol in the Down syndrome community and like her height and proportions. And like, I guess her eye shape and nose shape is, was designed by this girl with Down syndrome to like look like somebody and be representative of the Down syndrome community. I was like, let's fucking go Barbie. But still huge tits, right? She had a very, she had a dress on that went high, so I don't know when you take the dress off

what the Down syndrome Barbie's tits look like, Brett. Try to Google it. You know, not my Barbie. Why? Because it's down syndrome? No, no 10. Somebody could be upset about it. I'm just saying.

You know what? I wish this was a choose adventure because this is what I want to say to you guys at home. Do I bail them out? Or do we let him keep going? Oh, you voted for let him keep going? Yeah, yeah. Okay. I'm just saying that a lot of people get up in arms about certain things like little mermaids being black and stuff like that.

I guarantee there will be some. Because that's preposterous. How could a mermaid be black? Yeah, yeah. But I mean, like there's somebody going to have something wrong with this and have the biggest dong take. I guarantee you'll be able to find it. But that's just society. Let's talk a little mermaid because.

Little Mermaid was, they had a Melissa McCarthy moment, I think this morning, where she came in, she presented some Little Mermaid stuff for the Disney cinema con panel. And then they played, they must have played a clip of Poor Unfortunate Souls. And apparently she brought the fucking house down. So it wasn't a live performance, but it was a tape of her doing Poor Unfortunate Souls. Oh, nice. And apparently it was rad.

I've been a little nervous about that moment in the movie because I don't know Melissa McCarthy's past, but have you known her as a singer? No, that's, I haven't known her as a singer, but there's some part of me that would think I think she could sing. Yeah, but I just think I would have, like, heard it at this point. Yeah, yeah. But that's silly, and maybe we have, and I'm just not thinking of it. Did you watch Gilmore Girls? I didn't.

She was on Gilmore Girls? Nobody knows that. She was, like, a big star on Gilmore Girls. Suckie. What the? The only Sookie I know is Sooky Stackhouse from True Blood. You're still on my camera. I know.

I like to leave it on you to get your reactions. Oh, there's some AC for us. Always point out that things are going on. It's up to 70. Can I, are you all right? Temperature-wise or should I pop that up? Oh, I'm fine. Okay, cool.

This is what you've discussed during a show. I've got a question. No, it wasn't that one. Oh, did you want to talk about Willy Wonka? I did. I was going to go there next. No, I was just wondering because I wanted to get it ready for you if you wanted to. Yeah, Brett, hit me. Hit me with some Wonka vision.

Whop, wub, wub. I'm actually stoked to talk about this because I am a massive fucking Wonka fan. Me too. I love Willie Wonka. Brett, what's going on with Wonka? Well, the Timothy Salome Delaide. Ooh, I love what they did there. Wonka musical scored its first trailer.

It just says Timothy Shalamey lead. I just, but why'd they put the dash? Is that how you say lead? Timothy Shalamey led, Wonka. Shalmalet lead. I don't know what the, I don't. Timothy Shalameh, lead, Wonka. But why do you put the dash there?

Is that how you say lead? Yeah. I'm, see, I'm English. I love what they did there. English is my second language. What's your first? Nebraska. Oh.

What are they doing? Hugh Grant plays an Oopalupa. Wait, can you tell the Pia? Okay. The Timothy Shalamed Lede Lede Wamp. Timothy Shalemay Lede, bro. Timothy Shalemey Lid Wank, a musical scored its first trailer and revealed that Hugh Grant plays an Oopalup in the film.

Re-teaming with his Paddington 2 director, Paul King, on this project. The trailer indicates the film will see a young Willie Wally Wonka facing off against a chocolate cartel that wants to prevent him from practicing his craft. Shalame describes his character as a willie that's full of joy and optimism. Optimism and unlike the cynical Wonka and unlike the cynical wonka scene in the Gene Wilder movie. I think... Where are you going? Never knowing. Oh, I love it.

It's the music that featured the original music and other music, or what's the day? I hope so. Hugh Creight playing on Oompa Lumpa makes me think that there are other Umpalumpas. Dreamcast. For Oompa Lumpas? Ooh, brother. It just, they could have so much fucking fun with that. Yeah.

Because I thought in the new version, correct me if I'm wrong, weren't all the Oompa Lumpas one person? Yeah, the new version, they were just one actor that they duplicated. So is that going to be Hugh Grant? Is it all going to be Hugh Grant? I don't know. And I just don't know. Like, the Oopalupas really don't do much, and that's kind of a crazy role for Hugh Grant, don't you think?

What are you talking about? They roll everybody out. Yeah, they roll them out. Hugh Grant's got some weird press recently. Oh, boy. I fuck with him, though. I remember that moment on the carpet? Oh, we were just kind of.

flippant with somebody or kind of dickish yeah yeah yeah not weird not weird bad yeah just just like people are like he's a dick and I'm like just been out of it along yeah I just think he just didn't really care to go through that maybe ask him something different yeah yeah but that's the producer's fault yeah not Ashley Graham's oh yeah I wasn't blame it on no so you don't like her no I love Ashley Graham I know who I knew who the interview was with so you agree you think really pretty. Yeah, I do. Is it too soon to be doing another Wonka property?

I don't think so. I think that we the last one has been quite some time, Rox. Am I? Can you see? Are you seen what time it is? I'll put it on you if you want to. Are you

kidding me or no? So in doing my job, I waited until Brett put the camera on him so that I could look at something on the screen because I know

that we want to get to our amazing sponsors. And then Brett called me out and you know who's going to help me get out of this hole? Our sponsors. Our sponsors. Thank you so much. Let's hear about our sponsors. Athletic Greens is the best.

I gave my son a manscape because I got two. and it was a very odd moment because I said to my wife I was like I don't need two of these the one I had was fairly new

should I give it to Blake and she's like yeah yeah go ahead and I'm like do you want to do it she's like no you give it why would you ask your wife to do that no I wouldn't I just thought it was funny to say she knew I was kidding I was gonna but it it was a weird

alright Brett here you go here's a moment for you okay you now for The next 60 seconds. You are the host of this show. Okay. What are you to do? I'm going to just to say thank you guys for coming in,

and I'm going to play that outro music. No, Wonka, you asked me a question about Wonka being too soon, Rocks, and I don't think so. I think that I'm a little skeptical of the time that this takes place, because I don't know if you've seen what the original, I don't want to get political on you, but if you've looked at the original Umpalupa story,

um, it's, uh, not very, it's kind of, uh, we'll just, I'll just,

I have to put it on your face. I'm just waiting for you to finish your sentence. Basically, it appeared like they were slaves in the original. You're saying you're curious with time period. This new one is in? Well, this is supposed to be when he's getting the umpah,

Lupus, I think, and that's part of the story. So I want to see how they address that because it's very... How much is he paying them? Yeah, how much is he paid? Like, are they going to clear that up and go a better route to where, like, they really want to be there? Because, yeah, in the... What are they?

They were a tribe somewhere in the original books. And I think that's probably why in the newer one, they did, you know, just the one guy, you know, and he seemed more jolly about. We need paychecks. Yeah, I want to. We're your pay stubs. It's a direct deposit situation. I want them to see, guys, listen.

Will you come to me to America with six figures a year and full dental benefits? Yay! And then they all like willingly get on the boat and then they show some break room scenes where they're all having a good laugh. And, you know, I want this to be like, the this is where the umpalumpas get theirs i think and that's that's the film i want no chalame like a just a pop in of chalemay rest of the film umpalupa what do you think about that right yeah no that's what i was hoping for two yeah i think that this should really center around the umpalumpas in general hugh grant is the star of this movie i would say so and this is his journey

his journey to america for freedom yeah Hugh grant no I mean, I'm pretty sure that the... From England. In this one, the oompa lupa's horrible life, they're probably being attacked all the time and they need help getting out of there. And I was just thinking about the music rocks and I don't think they're going to do the ones we like.

Okay. How come? Because I just think that maybe that was later on he created those ones. Yeah, but songs. Sometimes you sing songs multiple times. Yeah. Like you sing a song as a kid and then sometimes you sing as an adult.

It just seems like the jolliness. He's saying he's a more jolly wanka and he's not the cynical old wanka. And a lot of those songs about, you know, what do you do when you gobble up sweets eating the way that a dinosaur? Dinosaur. I don't know. I don't know. But yeah, those are jollies. Do you know?

I do not know. And like the whole, you know, like the broas are rowing and that that's scary thing. That's an acid trip. Yeah. I want to know the history of the Schnauzberry. Do you know that that is, it was, I heard tell that Schnauzberry is a sexual innuendo? I need them to spell it out for us. Yeah.

The schnauzberries taste like schnazberries. Give it to me. Yeah. What's that mean? I think if you googled it, you'll find that it's... That's not a movie. You shouldn't have to Google it. Yeah.

I don't know if they'll... If this is rated... It will be a disappointment if they do not go over the history of the Schnazbury. Well, yeah. I mean, I'm going to need about 20 minutes of Schnazbury. And then, you know, quick poppin Wonka. He showed... And then the...

Then Upalupas. Just straight to them. Are you hoping that there's any reference to the creation of the golden tickets? Um, I'm guessing that maybe it will go right up until that point. I think it will go right up to the point where it's like, maybe you see the young jolly and he's like something's, you know, business just isn't working. He's getting tired of this and we say, I have an idea. Bing!

And then I see that them then doing a second one that is a remake of the first one. Did you write it? I did. Is it good? Yeah. I had to stop. There's a rider strike, so I stopped, right. What's the last line in the movie?

Oh, the last line in Willie Wonka. He goes, oh, man, I'm getting too old for this. That's Timothy Shalem. Yeah, yeah. He's looking around. He's looking out all the factory. He's like, I used to be jolly, but now I'm starting to feel more cynical, like, Gene Wilder. Because Gene Wilder is in this world, but he's just Gene Wilder.

and then he's like Right. Why don't you And one of the one of the oopalupas is like Hey boss Thanks for the fruit basket You sent me my wife for Christmas showing that he's a good boss

And he'll say like You should have a contest To see who can take over the factory And he's like Well that's the ticket And then cut to final credits That's true And if you want to see more funny bits like that

you guys should join us at Flappers this Friday. Roxy. I'm stoked for this. By the time you are watching this, this is literally tomorrow. So there's no more excuses like, I don't know what I'm going to be doing on Friday. Let's just face it,

you don't have fucking plans. You don't have plans. You thought you might be getting plans. You don't have plans. And you're like, I don't want to spend another Friday night at home. We just live through a fucking panini. We are out of the pinini.

You are living your life and you are coming to see us at Flappers 10 p.m. And I'm not hearing. It's so late. Yeah, you're young and you're sexy. You're young and you're sexy. Get yourself to Flappers. 10 p.m. this Friday, the 28th of April.

We are going to be there. It's Brett. It's me. It's Kate. It's Christian. It's Steph. It's Coy. It's Winston.

It's Mike. It's all your favorite nerds. We're all going to be on stage. And if you don't get your tickets at the Christianharloff.com, And you're a fucking fool. Do you think I bullied them into it? No, I love it.

It was, it's different. I think there's different people bully. I think the way you bullied it in, well, obviously it's sexy. Yeah, I'm a sexy bully. Yeah. You know, you're just like, sexual bully. Yes, yes, mommy. That's what everybody at home, like, there's guys just tickets.

There were some people in the comments that were saying, Roxy's now single. If you live in L.A., you have to go to the show. And I was like, what kind of show do they think? Well, maybe that we'll be doing a live, you know, Blonde Day. Raffle me off, yeah. Blind Day.

We could do a two-minute blind date on stage. That would be fun. That would be fucking fun. Let's pick it to pitch it to Christian. Yeah. We don't know. Here's the truth. But people are like, what's going to happen on the show?

I'm like, I know it's starting with stand-up. Mm-hmm. And then I know it's not stand-up anymore. What happens in not stand-up section is kind of a mystery. Yeah. We're probably going to talk about. about some nerd shit because we're a bunch of nerds. But also, like, what we do on this show, which, how would you describe that?

Baldur Dash and Tom Foolery. It is a bunch of Tom Foolery. I think it'll be some Tom Foolery. And it'll be fun. I think he's going to, I'm assuming, like, what he did with that late night show or whatever that we did to announce it, that he's going to mix up some of the panels a little bit, like, you know, throw you in with the Sith and put Roxy in on capes, or your Roxy, put Kate in with capes and cows. And then me, he'll just-

How is Kate? I haven't been talking to where I was not. I know she was having some issues with her house, but- Oh, no fucking way. Yeah, yeah. And I keep bugging her. I keep, you know, so she's like, everything's fine, we're just, blah, blah. And, you know, so. Is everything fine?

Yeah, yeah. Everything's fine. Like, her dad's, she's like, my dad's. It's fine. Families are good, good health or whatever, but they were having some annoying homeownership things they're dealing with. Do you feel like Christian's about to walk in? I see dude, maybe.

Is dude coming in or is it Christian? I don't know. It was like an energy moment. I know, right? Yeah. What's the energy about? What's your rising? As soon as we started talking about personal things like that,

it's like the wind brought up. And it was like, talk about your. TV picks, Roxy, come on. All right, fuck it, let's do it. TV, TV, Roxy's TV, TV, TV picks. I have a pick for you. I don't have a graphic for it.

Okay. But you want me to give it at the end or start with it? Save the best for last. All right, all right. So we should start with yours. All right, so mine, okay, good. Yeah, exactly. Did you see the Waco documentary?

No, and a lot of people have been bringing this up. I... I feel like I was living. Oh, yes, I feel like. I know. My wife is like, don't you remember all this? And I was like, it was 1993, I think. I was in college.

I didn't watch the news. Is it just called Waco? Yeah, I believe so. On Netflix. Yeah, on Netflix. From last year, maybe? It might have been. I know, because there was the Waco,

series, right? Right. But this isn't it. This is, I think, it's a few episodes of this. And this is just, you know, real footage, real interviews from people. And I didn't realize, you know,

this is no spoiler. If you paid attention to the news, but what a shit show the government is? Yeah, well, I know they are, but like. So the Waco American Apocalypse documentary. Yes. They handled this point.

poorly. And a lot of people died that probably should. I mean... Oh no, I guess it dropped last month. I thought it dropped to the end of last year. Yeah, it's... I went into it thinking I was going to see how horrible this cult which, which they weren't great.

And he was having sex with underage women, which they all seem to want to do, which I... Like, just have a regular cult where you have... you know, sex with, you know, women of age and close to your age. I'll be fine with that kind of a cult. Okay. It's when you have the kids when you're having sex with, like, 14-year-olds and stuff. I think that's when it gets gross. But regardless of-

Online are looking like people think that this doc is really, really well done. Yes, it's very well done. Three-part series. It was three parts, and it came out on March 22nd. Wow, we were kind of on it with this. That's crazy. We're usually way behind on it. We started watching.

Yeah, I highly recommend it. I thought it was a month ago. Yeah. Well, I mean, in terms of the shared and Rubicon, is that a thing? Yeah, I'd say check it out. I think you'll enjoy it. And it's definitely, there's Christian. Is that what that was?

Yeah. What do you mean? He likes to slam on there to make us sit up straight. That really, that was horrifying. It's a little jarring. Yeah, I'm so used to it that I don't, I don't Twitch anymore, but. What the fuck? I don't know.

Something fell. He's just going to, he should just pop in here and take over my campaign. camera. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, so check it out, Rox. You'll really enjoy it. And again, it's, you'll realize that, like, people that died that shouldn't have, I mean, like, these poor people that were following the young children and stuff like that

didn't deserve to die the way they did. It's not good because you just said these people, the young children didn't deserve to die the way they did, and I rolled my eyes. As Christian walked in? These young people were supposed to die the way to do. Oh. Everybody's been saying that to me because it's been nice out the last couple days. Yeah.

You go out tanning, apparently. No, I, well, I drive, you guys know I drive a convertible. Yeah. So I'm out, driving, driving, driving, driving, tan, tan. Are you still doing your stuff? Yeah, we started really late. We started really late. I texted you and I told you.

Why are we talking about doing a show really late? Let's get some more TV. So that was my TV pick for you. It is Waco. And then Roxy, you've been into another kind of real-life story here. Let's bring this one up. Okay, so I didn't know if I was going to watch this show. American Marathon, The Boston Marathon bombing, for obvious reasons.

Of course, I'm from Boston. I live on the marathon route. My dad lives there. The day of the bombings was like the scariest day ever for every one of my friends. I was coming back from Coachella and I was like living my life. And all of a sudden, I look at the news. And it was the first year I wasn't home for the marathon. And I look at the news.

And then I can't get a hold of anybody for hours. Because all the cell towers were down. You couldn't make a call. And again, my family lives on the marathon route. So you're trying to figure out where, what happened, who, what, a lot of people go to the finish line. Like, as information was coming out, it was so fucking scary. Yeah, that's horrible. And then, and everybody who's from Boston had that same experience.

You know, like I'm not special on that one. Then, right after everything happened, the manhunt, so I'm from Newton, and we were one of the cities that was shut down. You couldn't leave your house. You had to stay home. And for days, you couldn't go anywhere because they were in this manhunt. So I remember that, and it's a decade ago. I remember it like it's yesterday, everybody being stuck inside, you couldn't leave. That was 10 years ago?

It was a decade ago. So that's why this came out now. Wow. And then after that, a couple of like not so respectful things happened. You know, Mark Wahlberg, who oftentimes I'm a fan of, but seems to do some silly things sometimes. He put out that movie Patriots Day, which was like way too soon. And then there was that movie stronger, which I liked significantly. better, but came out a little later and was about somebody who was actually there.

But all these things, I kind of felt like rehashing it, it felt just like this open wound. Now it's been a decade. This is a three-part doc that was so unbelievably detailed. They just did like the most amazing job with it. And a lot of people think like, okay, the Boston bombings, what happened? So you think, you know, like, okay, most people know there's two brothers and, there was a couple bombs that went off, a few people died, and then there was a manhunt for them and they were found, or one of them was found, the other was killed.

Yeah. But like, they brought in this doc, every person investigating the situation was being interviewed for this doc. The, every person who had, um, people who had lost limbs, people who had lost significant others, people who, like, there, just, there were so many interviews and pieces being put together and it went into like what happened that got these two brothers that made them make these choices that they did the whole thing i just thought if if you're it's like um better than a textbook like this is the way that history i feel like of the marathon should be taught people

should sit down you know because i our generation knows what happened but at some point same thing with nine 11 this anything that any terrorist attack that's happened to our country, which this was, kids aren't going to know what it was. And you think about being a kid, you read it in a book. It doesn't stick with you the same way. I just think that they just did an amazing job just doing justice to what happened here this day and documenting that.

And I was really, really glad that I watched it. It was super fucking hard to get through. I was fucking bawling. I mean, because people died and there, so there is no, there's no, um, like recourse for that. It is what it is like and it didn't need to be that way. Also, you know, like it does make you have weird feelings about right now. It's super not cool to be pro cop, obviously.

But like watching what the people in this city and my city did, the people, the police officers, the investigator, like everybody coming together to be like, we are going to, find these two people when they so easily could have not. Like we, there was a world in which this turned into a we never caught them situation. There was many times, like if you don't know what happens when you're watching it, you're like, how are they going to find them? Like it seems like they have no fucking idea where these two people are. Yeah, yeah.

And then the Uber driver, I don't know if you remember this about the Uber driver who ended up, the bomber's got in his car. and like tried to hijack the car and he ended up running and that's how they were able to get them like he's interviewed in this and the courage from that fucking guy like to just run I don't think I would have just watching it was so emotional I can't recommend this doc enough if you are unfamiliar with the ins and outs or if you are familiar and you think you know everything you don't this was just one of the best docs I've seen in a long time if they're I don't know exactly how nominations work for docu series but I think that this should be nominated. Like it was, is so, so, so well done.

It's, it's, it's, it's, and that's kind of on the same lines as, you know, the Waco thing. These are,

these are hard to watch, but I agree with you. There, there needs to be, because they come, because they come news blips in the mass of all these things that are just, these tragedies that we have. And,

and I, I, I'm interested in this because, yeah, I was like, I was in the dark about the Waco thing. I don't remember a lot of, details of this. I was like, was this the guy that was hiding in a boat or something?

Yeah. Yeah. Okay. That one, okay. So, yeah, that's, so if you want to, yeah, just have a real. Anyway, that's my least fun of the picks, but it's really good. The other picks are, I really wanted to focus on that this week, especially with my Boston roots, and I wanted to make sure that I talked about it. But the other ones I've told you guys about already, but there's some of the best TV ever on right now, so I just need to keep reiterating some of these yellow jackets on showtime. We're halfway through the season. It is so effing good. I thought that this might be a one-hit wonder with its freshman year.

It is not the sophomore season is crushing it. I'm so curious what they end up doing with many of these characters. Some of the reveals this season have been disgusting. This is must-watch TV for horror fans, but also for fans of thrillers, dramas, and just creepy weird shit. Succession, man.

I am devastated that this show is coming to an end. It is best written, best performed show. If you don't watch it, start, binge it, catch up, be there by the time we're done. It's on my list every week until it's done because it deserves to be there. I just sell this on me. I don't know, like, for some reason, just seeing shitty people doesn't intrigue me. What's the hook here? Like, what if you could see right now?

the inner workings of what was happening with Rupert Murdoch and fucking, what the fuck is his name that just got fired, Tucker Carlson and like shitty people doing shitty things that only rich people can get away with and figure out like the inner workings of like and how they parent and how the, it's the whole conglomerate is just like disgusting, disturbing, but so intense. And if you like Seinfeld or always Sunny in Philadelphia, I know that that seems like weird references right now, but like then you're used to liking shit people. Okay, okay. So it's just shit people in a drama. All right, all right. Okay, okay.

What about this one? Barry this season has gotten so dark. Bill Hater's great. The show is really good. I don't know where we're going. We are in prison. and we don't know who to trust. I don't know what I'm rooting for.

He's obviously a horrible dude, but he is our protagonist, kind of. Yeah, this show is not a comedy anymore. It is definitely, definitely straight up a drama, but it is a very good drama. All right. Except for Noho Hank, who is a comedian, for sure. I'm on board with this next one, 1,000%.

Man, Ted Lassel last night was so good. And last week was so good. Oh, last night was so good. Man, this is just like, this, I don't know that this show would have done that well if it came out pre-Panini. I think it would have been good, but like, I just think that this came out during the perfect Panini time when we all needed hope. And the premise of the show is believe. And like, watching all these characters, I'm so, so, going to be so sad when this show is gone. It is the best feel good.

It is a comedy, but it's not like a ha, ha, ha. It's like, it's just a feel-good show. And now every episode's an hour. So it's like, it's a full dromedy. Yeah. It's excellent. I, uh, I 100% agree with you on the, and, and at times I'm like, is this too cheesy? But then it's just like, I don't know.

It's just like they hit it. It's a perfect amount of cheese of cheese. It really is. I don't even like cheese. Yeah. I, I, I love this show so much. And I think people, I think the people that hate on it just don't want to feel good. Because there's really, how can you hate on something that's just trying to bring a bright, you know, a bright spot on the world right now and be good.

Brett, we did it. We did it. We did it. Yeah. When Christian came in, did you think he was going to maybe, like, join us for the show? No. For a second, I thought maybe, but I think he just got back. He just wants to, he wants to just let us do our thing.

You are talking. Oh, I should be on me. We were doing so well. You know, Rox, do we touch on either this one or this one or nobody cares? I was kind of interested in this a little bit, but what made me say? Yeah, what do you got about Witcher? I just want to say. I don't watch the show, so I only watch the first season.

Oh, okay. I watched this with my wife, and I was not into it at first, but then I totally got into it. and the only thing I just wanted to bring up was that it's if I can pull it see I can't even pull up my own stuff very well you're doing great Brad it didn't I didn't even pull up the one for the witcher but then you told me you wanted to talk about it I know it's weird I had it I had it ready to go basically the only thing that I wanted to talk about is how

Henry Cavill is not going to be in the fourth season and it's going to be somebody else. You keep scrolling by it. Where is it? Scroll. Scroll. Scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll. Yeah. I know that's not it.

Yeah, it's not. Well, this is going to, this is a bang up. You know what? This is what we call a tease. Next week. You can tell us all about it. Oh, and one one last thing. Did I put that in there? I don't know why I'm stretching

this up, but we'll just, we'll go back to both of us here. Harry Belafonte dine. And I think that's, you know, it's music news, but I think that's huge news in, like, the movie community, because so many, I mean, look, you know, everybody knows the lime and the coconut and drink it all up. Yeah, and from Beetlejuice, the ending credits or whatever they go through that. So, yeah, I think wonderful guy, great music. Yeah, we can do everything. But it's sad.

But 96, that's a good run. That's a good run. Yeah. I could only hope to get the... Everybody always says that, but I don't think any age makes it any easier sometimes. No, not at all. Not at all. Age doesn't, sometimes if their life isn't great at the time, I don't know.

Let's not get into that. But yeah, it's, we all loved, you've heard us talk about Harry Belafonte here every day. Brett, you did this. I was like, let's get out of here. And Brett was like, there's actually I would like to take over the show. Now there's things I need to talk about. I have to talk about Witcher and Dune, which you did neither of. I thought Witcher was pulled up.

I just think it's strange. I think it's strange that they're going to have a new Witcher for the fourth season. That just seems, but maybe they're... Did you not know that? I didn't. I didn't. So that's not news. I think Cavill wasn't supposed to come back because he was supposed to be doing Superman.

And I had heard at one point Cavill was out of the Witcher. Right. And then he's, but he's, he's going to do one more and then just not do the fourth? They had already done that. Oh, really? They'd already done the third. So he is out of the fourth. So that was, okay, I had that confused, Rox.

It's the first time I've ever been confused. But, um, rocks, um, if you want to see more confusion like this, come and check us out. Okay, Brett. Friday, the 28th. Roxie's going to be there. And that's it. No one else is coming. Um, no, we've got me, Koi, Rock.

Do you have no faith in me to close out the show? I just want to do it for fun and then I'm going to hand to you to do the close-out close-out. I just thought I'd do this because I didn't know how to throw it to you. But I'm going to throw it to you now, Roxy. Right there, we're going to Roxy's camera. On Roxy's camera now. Roxy's going to close out the show. Bye.

We'll see you next time.
