Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. You know what I'm really over taking my like so many vitamins. I know. Right. That's like and if I don't, I mean, I'm very strict about it. But even I'll be like about to go to bed like, shit. Now I have to eat another meal.

I can take this. vitamin. Listen, eat all the meals you can right now. You know, eat all the meals. You're eating for two people. It's fine. But when your stomach's up here, you know, you have indigestion. True. Ask the reflux. Yeah. I understand it, but you're eating for two people. So it's okay. It's not fun. It's not fun. But it's almost, it's almost there. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, no, but but I'm good. I am good. Good. I'm happy to hear it. And we've got a lot of talk about. CinemaCon is in full swing. By the way, have you been watching Darth Mall? I just started it.

Great. Just started it. Fabulous. Yeah, how many are you in? One or two. One. We just finished the first one last night. It's really good.

I'm surprised. I thought it was going to be the farts. It's not. No, you didn't. You thought it was going to, you were. I thought it would be fine because Sam was. Yeah. Yeah.

I was so bored with the fact that they were going into that time period again, but it's one of the best things they've done in a long time. I feel that was the only apprehension I felt because the trailer. looked sick. And then I was like, okay, but what about the timeline? Am I over this? And then it just felt like it felt very new. Yeah, there's there's things that they start doing. It gets better and better. Yeah, it's it's it's pretty good. I'm going to watch the next two episodes coming up pretty soon. And we just released, what are we? I'm releasing an airplane for us next week. Oh. So we had shot that a little bit. It was so funny. So good. I've been laughing about those types like the very specific humor that they have in that movie incredible and then so that and then that also kind of couples up the fact that

they released a more a new title for space balls which we'll talk new title i didn't see that it used to be the title originally was the search for more money or something but they they changed it oh that's funny new one or something i can't i think it's called the new one space ball is the new one okay i think so um so we will double check that um in just a bit and we have more stuff to discuss we're pumped and let's get going. What the hell was that? Nice. The baby.

Fair enough. All right. Let's just, no more of those, okay? Okay. All right. Good Lord. Geez. Come on.

Let's do it. Yeah, let's do it. All right, no more of that. Okay, so. Sorry. All right. I'm going to have to ask you to leave the show. All right, let's get into the.

the news and that of course we're going to start with Universal Universal had their presentation and they're leading with what was it was minions

they also have Kristen Bell she's Mrs. Claus and Violent Night 2 and it showed off a clip with David Harbour of caught of course there was an R-rated official Snoop Dog biopic

produced by Snoop and directed by Craig Brew That's interesting. That sounds pretty fun. Who's starring as Snoop? I just missed that. Hold on a second. Jonathan Davis.

Who's Jonathan Davis? I feel like I know who he is. He was in Outer Banks, they said. Yeah, I know, but I didn't see that. But he wasn't he in something recently? What was he just in recently that I? I think I saw him in something recently that I liked. Maybe that's not the same guy.

No, it's not. But Jonathan Davis, I haven't seen Outer Banks. You know what it is? Outer Banks is what is. The show Rocks he used to watch. I don't know him. So maybe we'll see how he does. Anyway, the Odyssey screen footage confirming the Shirley Theron plays Calypso in the film and scene. Seeing where Matt Damon's Odysseus washes up on her island, then it showed elements from the previous marketing, including the banquet scene and other things. Stephen Spielberg was on hand to promote Disclosure Day and has confirmed that the film's entire third back is being omitted from the movie's marketing. Spielberg, who also won the America 250 Award from the Motion Picture Association confirmed his next film will be a Western. That's interesting. Over five minutes of footage was shown from the film with Josh O'Connor playing a former cryptosecurity expert who becomes a whistleblower about extraterrestrial activity.

Emily Blunt portrays a Kansas meteorologist who has an on-air breakdown saying strange, alien-like vocal patterns that O'Connor's character realizes is a structured mathematical language. Other scenes, including a fighter jet, moving over a band of light flashbacks to the lead character in clinics, and a scene with a deer approaching a bedroom, one eye distinctly not of this earth. At first, sorry, I first look at minions and monsters took place and follows the minions heading west to Hollywood on a mission to find another monster leader to serve. They showed a wild train robbery sequence at the locomotive, as the locomotive tears through early Los Angeles. Weirwolf, Robert Eggers, new movie, showed off footage in, in fourth three. aspect ratio. It is set in a gothic mud-soaked village where townsfolk are investigating and setting

traps for brutal, brutal werewolf terrifying their town. Willem Defoe plays a local elder, Aaron Taylor Johnson's character, and goes a violent transformation inside a barn. Finally, trailers were shown for new sense and sensibility, and the Jessica Chastain led her other mommy about a child who's stalked by a monster that looks exactly like her mother. One Night Only also shows off footage that follows two people, Monica Navarro and Caleb Turner in a world where premarital sex is only legal for one day. Good Lord. Let's see. I want to go back to, hold on a second. I want to see if there's other things. So we can go into that. Luke, if you are there, I don't know if he is or not, if you are, you can send me some of the

stuff that dropped, you know, the spaceball stuff and some of the other stuff that I can go through, it's kind of Snyder's tweets too. But the stuff that you see there, Steph, what stands out to you the first and foremost? Um, first and foremost, I, the Odyssey stuff, I would say. I am like everyone else in the world really looking forward to it. Um, I'm liking finding out a little bit, but I don't want to know too much about it. But I, it's interesting. Like I scrolled down to see some of the comments and I felt like everyone has been so, so excited about this movie.

And then some people were like, are now hating on it. I'm like, can't find an excuse for anything. Do you know what that's about, like, if there was like a new wave of the story being told that people were upset about or? You said it. It's social media. It's like it's going to have absolutely no effect on the movie. Right. Of course.

It's absolutely no effect. Yeah. It's going to be a massive massive movie. Totally. Totally. So that's what really stands out to me. I feel like that's definitely the most exciting project for Universal for me. But I'm, I'm impressed in general of their slate.

like they have a lot going on. I haven't seen Violent Night 1. Me either. So they started with that. Maybe that's when you and I can watch together because I've never really yeah. I hear that's like a fun kind of scaryish one. It's like die hard with Santa or something. Okay. Yeah, that's cool. That's cool. So yeah, I'm interested to see that. I like when the other ones. The one for me is that I found very interesting obviously to hear more about is disclosure day. Right. Right. Right. Now there are people who are we're skeptical about it. One of those people who are saying, I don't know, this movie's going to do overall. Roca was texting me and said that the stuff looked great. Oh, cool. It looked absolutely phenomenal and he was he was stoked on it. So I think that it's a very

important thing when Spielberg is going to be talking about this stuff because of the marketing that's going to go into this, right? The PR in general because he already, even at CinemaCon from what Roka told me, he was saying that his fascination with the stuff that's going on with UAPs and UFOs in general and what the government has and the way that the people have been speaking about and other things that have been going on. It's fascinating. And the reason I think that's so important is that's what he's going to be talking about in the PR leading up to the film.

And the more that people are listening and articles are coming out about the things that are actually happening and things like, here's a perfect example. I did a video on my channel yesterday. There's a, there's a, um, congressman who's been doing a lot of interviews lately on, on various news outlets, but it's not getting the major media coverage. It should be. And he was saying that he, and this is some of the, they're Republicans and Democrats that are in these rooms that are being briefed

and they're called skiffs, right, where the information comes out, they can't talk about exactly what it is that they hear. But these are people who are in Congress. Yeah. And so they've heard these things. They've heard these things. And he said, for a long time, he was saying, well, I can't talk about what it is. And they asked them on the podcast, I said, after the things that you have heard,

what do you think the percentage is that we have, that aliens have, been here on earth. He goes, in any form? He's like, this is what the congressman said. He said as far as like, whether they were here before us or in general, how confident I am after what I've heard, he said, 100 is what he said. The fact, this is, you know, this is someone who's in the government right now. Um, and it's like, why, why is he, why are you seeing 100%? Unless you've heard something that you just like, okay, then that's, and that fact that that's not being covered at all. I'm not thinking you have to believe it. But the fact that this is someone, in Congress who's saying these things and especially with the fact that they want to what

Obama said and followed about what Trump said and followed that they're going to release information it's a good time for Spielberg to be doing this um movie in general because it'll it'll continue the conversation yeah yeah definitely I also found it interesting that he already knows what his next film is and not being a western that's kind of cool yeah um hey Luke do me a favor can you change the title of the show I really I did I changed the title of the show I really I changed the title of it yesterday because it's just like the movie fan will click on it but other people they're going to see cinema competition what the hell is that put a movie in there you know like odyssey and whatever it is let's let's put we can keep the thumbnail the same but let's let's change the title

there's the it's the same reason that yesterday is the shits as far as people coming in here to watch it um so i think that yeah you're right the Spielberg is um is absolutely going to be the fact that he's doing another Western. I think it's risky to do a Western. Yeah, I mean, it feels a little random, but I don't know. I feel like it's cool in this part of his career where he can just like really do genre, like stick to different genres and kind of flip around. But I am excited for disclosure. I think that it's a perfect time, like you said, depending how the news cycle is working. I think people are so inundated with like, on earth news that they're not because like you said like that should be breaking news if a congressman

says something like that right but um i think as if it keeps coming up and then you know the artemus two landing i think has been drawing a lot of people's interest in space in general so the connection could be there and do really well for the film yeah i think so too and it's going to be covered on all these different channels because it's funny because i look at the comment section too and i just So one person's like, well, I don't know if I believe it anymore because he said, she said stuff. It's like, well, and the answer to this question was like, I follow up all the news. How much, and this is what I talked about, it was on News Nation yesterday, and it hasn't come out yet, but the interview. And this is what the people sometimes, and I'm curious, a person who wrote that comment, the answer might be like, I tune into all of it.

I'm very well adverse. I know all the stories. I know things that have happened. Are you saying that because you're, you've read up on all these stories. You know about David Grush. You know about Fravor. you know about graves, you know about all these people that have had these conversations with the government pilots, other people, or is it because you just, that's what you hear and you see it

on Twitter and like, oh, I haven't heard anything that I believe. Are you really well adverse in the topic? I'm not telling you that you're wrong for feeling away. I'm just, I don't take merit in it when people aren't well adverse in it. When people just say, oh, well, I don't really believe in it. It's he said, she said, but what have you been listening to? What conversations? What have you been really diving into or what part? If you really, paying attention to all the topics and you still feel that way fair i'd love to hear your thoughts on it but i just people don't um people do that sometimes so i'm just curious um okay that's fair he says i was a big believer and he paid attention to the news then and which i also the flip side to that is that i don't blame

him for saying that or he or she i'm not sure um but the reason why i say don't blame because there has been a lot of talk, but the talk has gotten louder and louder recently and more news seems to be happy. So I don't know. We'll see. We'll see. Okay. So everything else that's going on in there, Universal with minions. I mean, that movie's you never count the minions out. Yeah. Like I said, you can always, especially, and as I reiterate, never count out. Kids, movies. Those movies can crush and wind up becoming the biggest movies of the summer because that's the time. If they're not in camp, the kids, if there's nothing going on, parents, let's go, just go to the movies. Let's go. Right. And something about the minions is like,

there's like few characters that come out every now and then that even I watched it happen on Halloween with my nephew. He has never seen the movies. And there was kids dressed up as the minions in the like huge blow-up outfits and he was completely enamored with them and it was like they just something about the minions yeah it's just love the minions what was a movie that I just saw recently shit I had it in my head and they just did like a thing like an homage to the minions is the most oh the Mario movie Mario galaxy oh I haven't seen it yet Mario Galaxy just um did something uh so anyway so Universal did that um that's the majority of stuff I think that really stands out.

If there's anything else, people let me know. What do you think? What do you guys think about Disclosure Day? What do you guys think about minions? What do you guys think about all this stuff that has been announced? Put your thoughts in there. Let me know. Steph, did you see the Street Fighter trailer?

No, I saw people in the comments talking about it. I saw the first one. If it wasn't on our list, I didn't know it had dropped. No. Oh, dear. Unless I missed it. I missed it. I saw the falkers. It was the last one on the... Oh, well...

I'll tell you... Why don't you do that? Why don't you mute yourself and watch it? I'll do a quick thing, tell the audience some stuff, and then you come back and we'll talk about that trailer. As Steph goes and watches the Street Fighter trailers, I'm curious what she thinks. I have been mentioning this to you guys,

and I hope that if you're listening on Spotify or watching on Spotify, listening on Apple Podcasts, or if you are watching on the replay or on the Clips channel, wherever you might be watching this, I'm hoping and I feel like the campaign for my pilot is should be coming sooner than later. I'm hoping. In the meantime, what I've been asking everybody to do is to go over whatever your social media preferences, whether it's Instagram or TikTok.

We're trying to get to both myself and my writing partner, Martini Peritori, who now started a TMI Tammy Instagram. It's already almost at 60,000 followers. She started three weeks ago. She's absolutely annihilating. But we're trying to get to both of our accounts to over 100,000. If you are able to, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to. If you're on social media, that would help the campaign tremendously. As we're going into start to raise funds for this pilot to have the numbers going up,

we just had 220,000 subscribers on the YouTube channel just the other day. We're building out here doing that. So if you're able to, hopefully Luke or PLD can, put my Instagram, my TikTok and Martini's Instagram on in the chat here. And hopefully you guys will subscribe if you have or follow us if you haven't already done that. I'm excited. And even on Monday when I was doing the show and you guys were asking so many questions about the pilot.

And I'm excited to start talking about it more. So, um, okay. There's another topic that I can talk about. Um, while Steph is watching. We'll change this real quick. And this is one that I just got sent by Luke. And this one, Star Wars Celebration.

2027, it's in Los Angeles. That makes sense to me that they're going to go back to L.A. This is the new art. There it is. Tickets will soon be available to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the original film at Star Wars Celebration. Celebrations taken Los Angeles by Storm on April 1st to the 4th, 2027 at the L.A. Convention Center and a newly unveiled event Key Art Pays homage to the original Tom Bichung poster,

R2 commemorate the 50th anniversary of the first Star Wars film. Billing today, along with the announcement, the tickets will go on sale for the event being Wednesday, May 6th. The new key art showcases a colorful fusion of Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, and the droids R2NC3PO in front of an artistic rendition of LA landmarks, including a fun twist on the classic Hollywood sign. Vader, the Emperor's Death Star, yada, yada, yada. The tickets for the event and preferred hotels will go on sale May 6th, 2026.

Okay. I'm going to, I'm assuming Steph is back here. So before you get into the trailer, we'll do the trailer in a second. Let's talk about Star Wars celebration in L.A., which I'm sure you're going to be happy about. Yeah, I didn't even know about that. And I think they just, I feel like they announced it. I feel like it was kind of, I'm surprised he didn't go back to Chicago. They've been back to Chicago since 2019.

Chicago was a blast. It was a really good time. Okay. But LA was, I mean, the last time we were there together was LA. We went to the LA one. That was, um, was that 2020? Yeah. I think that's when OB one had just dropped, right?

We got to see the first two. We did with the first two. Yeah. They announced that the last celebration was, um, was one that way of coming back to LA, which again, makes sense. And the, I guess, the biggest question will be like what if it is that that time of the year was it april pieldy april that's what it was for us i think yes may may is when celebrate hold on i think i think i think

he's lying on uh it goes on may 26 let me see april first we mean may it's april first to the fourth peel there stop this go back to sleep april first to the fourth and that to me makes sense it's going to be a month before Starfighter comes out. So they'll be promoting that movie heavily. It'll be everywhere you see. And then the other question will be like, what else is going to be announced at that point? I'm sorry.

Please. Well, they have to announce. They can't go bananas with announcements. No, I just need a plan, guys. You need a plan.

By that time. It could be small. Just smidgin. Something. Because I just, I just want to see leadership and direction. Well, think about it. Asoka, season two, will be gone at that, but it'll be over at that.

Maul will be in the books. Mandalorian and Grogu will be Gonsky. Right. Starfighter will be coming out in a month. Yeah. The question that normally, we were just talking about with 2022, you walk in and you go, okay, they're probably going to be talking about this. I'll probably show this. They're probably have that.

They're going to have this conversation. And none of it really came into fruition anyway, but they still were, we knew, kind of where they were going. The only thing that I could potentially guess is the Kinberg stuff because they said that the, you know, the what's, Mangold thing is gone. Yeah. We don't know about the Ray movie. Right. If anything, maybe we'll get an update on that. Maybe we won't. Or maybe they'll, that's when they're going to, like you said, maybe they just blow the, the, the, the roof off the place and say, this is our new plan. Flonie comes in. He's flown he's going to be the one doing those, presentations, which he is significantly better at than Kathleen Kennedy was.

When Kathleen, Kathleen Kennedy would just read the teleprompter and fake enthusiasm where you're going to, he'll be enthusiastic about this stuff. The question is, what is the plan? Yeah, I think it'll be really interesting and important to see kind of how he handles it. He's always been like a great face of Star Wars, but now with like, I think a little bit more, who knows what the inner workings actually looked like before, but more. but more like outward presenting leadership role in terms of like the audience now expects you to be kind of the one calling the final shots as opposed to all lying on Kathleen Kennedy

and a little bit you. So I think there's a lot of pressure there and it will be interesting to see how he does it if he's received any of the criticism that Star Wars fans have been given in the past few years, have been giving them in the past few years, which is like stop announcing stuff. stuff that aren't for sure, for sure. Yeah. And kind of we just want like a peer direction. I feel like that's pretty universal, even for the people who are like, I love everything

Star Wars or I hate everything Star Wars right now. I think universally people like can admit, though, that there's like a little shaky in terms of what they're doing. Yeah, look, there's an argument to me. And I saw these posts about the Darth Mall series. Like Star Wars has a new Star Wars series and nobody's talking about it, right? Um, so there's truth to that. And there's also a little bit of skewed truth to it as well.

It's still doing pretty well for an animated show on Disney Plus. It's, is doing decent numbers from what I hear. Um, but no, in the zeitgeist, it's not like everyone's like, oh, you got to watch them all. You got to, it's people inside the circle that are watching and are saying it's good, but it's not like. Invincible. Yeah. It's not invincible, but it's also not the way Star Wars like when Star Wars put something out.

I mean, shit, man, that, that shitty show resistance when that show, came out, people were talking about that thing, like, what's this going to be? And then it was about as boring as boring gets. And people were like, no one cares. But when rebels came out, people were excited and they were talking about rebels and rebels was the thing and Clone Wars animated. And this is just kind of like, it's not in that, it's just because Star Wars brand is damaged right now. And you can get it back. Yeah. The question is, and will they use celebration as that platform in the way that Cinemicon uses the distributors, and everything else to get people hyped.

I mean, it is the best, 100% the best con that there is for movies. Star Wars? No, CinemaCon. The only thing that's really relevant for business and trailers and everything else, too. Not the fan experience. Who are you talking about? I love Comic-Con. Of course you do, because it's a fan experience.

It's a lot of fun to go to, and you feel like you can just lose yourself in the weekend, and you can dress up, and you can other people who share what you love. love and it's great. Same thing with Star Wars celebration. I've always talked about how celebration was so great because it's all Star Wars fans who just love Star Wars in one place. And that it's it's like a heaven for people. And I get that. But relevancy as far as like what really matters for announcement, look at all the news that has come out over the last three days from CinemaCon. The stuff that comes out at Comic-Con, it's like, oh, all right, well, there's a show exclusive stuff at at CinemaCon that they can't do anymore at these

Comic-Con is because of leaked footage. Even the influencers and the media, they ain't leaking footage because the influencers don't want to get banned. Right. And the media is just not going to do that. So, and fans don't give a shit. They're going to leak everything that they see. So they go, you know what, let's just put it up at the same time. Yeah. There's like a better. Yeah, I agree. It was like I was excited about all the information coming out yesterday in a way that I think, And it's nice because a lot of companies don't want to like the amount that you'd spend on like, you know, Star Wars Celebration being its own outlet, DC doing its own thing. It's like for a lot of these companies, it's like cooler and I think gets more people going at just like a cinema con. So it just makes more sense economically.

But in terms of the fan stuff totally because people definitely release stuff at Star Wars celebration. Yeah. There should be some stuff like that. I talked about JJ Abrams yesterday who posted some one of his movies is coming out and nobody's talking about it because he's doing that secret J.J. Abrams thing again. And he doesn't have that kind of clout anymore to do secret movies and secret boxes, you know, black boxes. Nobody's going to talk about the mystery movies. And no one cares, JJ. There's so many other things that we can have.

Dave Faloni does that sometimes too with the mystery of Star Wars. And sometimes it's good to just show exclusive footage and let the fans kind of get excited for. But there's other times that you need to get the excitement ready for a project and you got to release stuff. And I think that they dropped the ball with that on Mandelurian and Grogu because they had a trailer for this thing two years ago or whatever, a year and a half ago. And they didn't start showing stuff until like four months ago or whatever it was. So he's got to get out of that J.J. Abrams mindset, too, because Star Wars is not that thing that it was in 2015, where everyone was like, oh, what is it? what's what's going to happen that mystery and that excitement isn't there anymore you've got to put stuff out that gets people excited and hopefully they do that at a celebration yeah i completely agree

just like marketing continuously changes and in terms of like it is like we've talked about like how directors are kind of the more important ones right now because there's like big name actors in everything these days but even so there's only like two of them that are like really like you'll just go see it because it's that. Right. The rest of people, it's like, okay, but what's, what is it? What is it? So we're going to find out. So guys, what do you think about Star Wars celebration?

I think they're going to do some stuff. It's just going to be just for the fans. Put your thoughts in there. Let us know. Hey, there's someone in the, in the chat called Not Deb. Luke, do me a favor because she said, come back to doing reactions, Steph's been doing reactions on his channel every week. So make sure Luke, PLD, whoever, show, not Deb, the Ferris Bueller reaction or any of the Arnold reactions, tons of stuff that Steph has been reacting on the channel. So she- We have a lot more coming up. The Christian's been ditching me.

Well, you ditch me once and I did- I did. I did. No, no. We had a crazy March in April. Yeah, don't rock see me. No, no. Yeah, I'm snitching. No, no. We were both really busy, but we've had a lineup for a few weeks now. We're ready. We're ready. And I think now that that David Harbor movie we should definitely do as well. For sure. For sure. So that one will do. And then we've got Young Frankenstein.

I can't believe that. So Young Frankenstein. I know. It won the poll. Did you see that? That's crazy. I'm so excited about that. I'm a massive Gene Wilder fan.

Okay. So you're going to love it. It's my sister's favorite Gene Wilder movie. But the reason I missed it is like, you know when you make a plan with someone and then they just like, know it and we were supposed to watch it together she watched it without me and then now i haven't but it gives us the opportunity i've actually i've actually i've actually lied um i said for step's next movie on the channel after airplane and ferris bueller almost 5 000 votes nice love you guys

young frankenstein field of dreams boogie nights or born identity there are two movies at tide do you want to guess what the two movies are the tide born identity and boogie night young frankinstein So, young Frank is at 32%. Buggy Knights is next at 20%, and then 16% said, fill the dreams. So either, I think young Frankenstein would have to be next

because if we watch one born identity, we'd have to watch all of them. Right. Yeah, unless nobody was watching them. We just started doing Rambo with me and Winston. So fun. He had never seen those.

There's like 20 different genre changes, I feel like in that franchise. It's really good. So we're going to, so that's on there. That's the first one's on it. It's doing okay. We just put the scary movie,

Scary Movie 2 up on there with Ming. Nets doing okay. But in Game of Thrones. So Sam and I just shot season eight episodes three and four. Oh my gosh. Two episodes. You guys have blown through those. No, two left.

Two left. We watched the, she's getting pissed off with Dineris now. It's hilarious. I told you it was going to happen. She's getting pissed off. Because she was like me where it's. like, I feel like definitely as a woman, when you're watching Game of Thrones and De Nieris comes

into play. And the acts of what she does feel so womanly, like all the stuff that we would do if we had power and dragons. And then all of a sudden, she's like on hinged. Yeah, you know what's, I want to see. It's funny though, because I still, what did you feel about the last season? it was like i i think i was so blinded by my disappointment for what i wanted out of denieris that i understand people are like well it was set up and i'm like sure sure but i couldn't get past my own wants of that sure but i thought it was fine like i thought like who ends up on the throne is what it was like yeah it was whatever i'm so curious if it's the last episode that really sways me because i watched the last when i watched season eight

the first time. I was in the minority of people going, I didn't mind it. It was fine. Um, and so I'm like, you know, maybe on the rewatch, I'm going to hate it like everyone else. Haven't. It's not, it's definitely not as it's definitely not as well written as the previous seasons and it's super rushed. That that's yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You just think where are at least two more episodes just easily easily you could have developed so much more that that really witty kind of like intelligent dialogue and maneuvering is gone. on. Right. That much so. If that's a reason why people don't like it, I get it. I'm just like, okay, because I've also watched it, like you said, I've watched eight seasons in like three months.

Right. And it's like, so it's just like one long movie. So there are certain things that are being, like I still think it's the stupidest decision ever that this big battle of the dead is happening. And they put all these people underground. Right. It's like, If everybody dies, you're going to raise people up and you're all going to be dead. Yeah. What are you doing? They just didn't make any sense. There's tons of stuff.

Yeah. I'm excited to see what you guys think about the full ending. I want to ask she's going to feel about the end. Damn. Yeah. Yeah. She loved the Naira so much. And she's when the next thing happens in episode five, she's going to be pissed.

I mean, it really. really it makes you because when I first started I remember thinking this is it's kind of how I feel about Natyri and Avatar where I'm like this is what I'm talking about with a woman lead like

I feel her in my soul and then all of a sudden you're like I don't know this person I don't know why would they do this to me? Her hatred is coming in but anyway so that that's going on so if you want to check us for for anybody who said Steph come back to reaction she never

left she's doing reactions on the channel so make sure you check it out um okay let's see so i want to get into this other stuff here and i think one of let's let's go and there's also stuff that happened with um with amazon oh you know before we do amazon let's talk about that trailer let's talk about street fighter okay yeah so were you familiar at all with the game a little bit like i had played a little bit, but I have no like serious connection to it. Like I forgot. None of it makes, none of it makes sense to you really.

None of it makes sense, but I'll say this. I love, you know, I love action and I love fighting movie. Like anything with like great choreography. So it looks really fun. I love Andrew Koji. He's one of my favorites, especially with martial arts.

And Noah Centennial, I haven't seen in a while, but I was actually surprised about, I feel like he looks. great for this movie. The only thing, so like it looked really fun. The fighting scene choreography looks really cool. I'm excited to see that. The story itself is kind of interesting as well. The only thing that I'm worried about taking me out is and I was worried when they announced the cast. Some of the cast members are like so, I don't know if they're

going to take me out of it because I'm like that's 50. So, okay, that all that being said, I am very familiar with the game as I talked about. about in my trailer reaction. I used to go to this particular pizza place in Flushing, in Queens. And we used to play Street Fighter all of the time. My friends and I, so much so that when this trailer was over, I sent them the trailer because I was like, I feel like I'm on a pizza place in Queens right now watching this. That's awesome. And so I did not know what to expect from this trailer at all. The stills that I've seen have looked goofy. I don't know. I love this trailer. Awesome. Absolutely love the trailer. I think

that it is so, it is goofy, but it's not in a way that I'm nervous about like Masters of the universe, right? It's like, it's goofy, but there's still a story connected to it. And the characters all, it's not, it's no one's out of place. Everybody seems like they're in this wacky thing. The way that I described it, I almost feel it's like wrecked Ralph. Like we went into the video game and we're actually, there's a camera inside of the video game as this world is taking place. That's interesting. kind of how I feel it felt. And so Balrog is who 50 Cent is playing. It's actually kind of perfect in how he worked in the games.

And the same. So Andrew Schultz, when he was announced and Eric Andre, I'm like, I'm going, what are they going to do in this movie? But it looks like Schultz is like a like, you know, a slimy manager, which he fits perfectly and or promoter or whatever. And then Eric, Andre, who's the announcer, I was like, okay. Yeah, when he did the announcement, I was like, the guy actually really worked for me.

It makes sense. And then so when Cody Rhodes is walking around as guile, I'm going, okay, that makes that makes sense too. And I just felt like I was a kid again watching this. It could be a terrible movie. But the fact that they put Riyun Ken's story together in these two friends, because that's what the Lord of the game was, that they were friends.

And you see them, you see Sean Lee, you see Balrog, you see, there's so many different characters and so many different things. They're a fight. Like so is that, is that, is that, is that, is that, um, I can't remember what it was. There was something that they said at the very, I was like, oh, it took me right back to the game.

Uh, but either way, I'm pumped for it. I'm curious about it now. More curious now than I was beforehand. Um, and I hope it's very well. I really do. Yeah, I think that's a good point. You made it kind of made like a very quick, which I think a great trailer does, like social agreement with the audience of what the world is that they're presenting.

and then like you can decide very quickly if it's working for you or not. Right. And you know what I'm also super happy about that I'm living in a time that both the street fighter and Mortal Kombat movie are coming out in the same year. And I also same thing I said on my reaction. I'm happy that there's a new Spider-Man movie and that there's a Supergirl movie and a Dune movie and, you know, Star Wars movie and all that. But I like that the video game movies are starting.

to push up and not even just the video game movies like he man and different things kind of popping up to in these big IPs outside of just the comic book sci-fi realm and so I'm excited to see this is like a really full summer yeah when does it come out I thought it came out in the summer am I I know I think that's right too I just didn't know what if I'm going to guess I'm going to guess that it comes out in August it seems like an August movie could be wrong because mortal combat comes out in May so they'll tell the audience will tell me in the comment section um what october they said okay October either way it still comes out this year October is a good is an interesting time for it to come out um interesting interesting in general so i really it's yeah i didn't

pay attention to me over in the trailer i know we're asking you we're asking you guys i have you guys Calvin come on um so anyway that's uh that to me me, I'm pumped for it. I am excited too. Yeah. What do you guys think? Are you excited for Street Fighter? You think it looks too cheesy for you?

Did you care about the game? Did you not care about the game? Put your thoughts in there. Let me know. If you're not subscribed to the Eclipse channel, please do that. You might be watching this on the Clips channel right now. Hit that button. We're over $17,000 on the Clips channel.

Hopefully can hit at least $20,000 soon. Hit that button. Yo. Okay. Spaceballs. Let's see if I can find that. Did they? I'm pretty sure he sent that, right?

Didn't he? Spaceballs? No, he didn't send space balls. Of course not. Let me see. Where's Space Balls? I got to get some space ball stuff because Space Balls, there it is. Mel Brooks reveals the space, you can just tell what a generational thing it is.

Luke probably said, no one cares about Space Balls. Right. Not true, because I care very much. And other people care. And this is what the story is. So Space Balls had a presentation. Oh, there it is. Perfect. Look at that. Right here. Come on. Get in there. That's what she said. All right. So let's get to Mel Brooks revealing Spaceball sequel title. There he is. It's like almost 100 years old. Yeah. Please let my mind age like him. I want him to be 200 years old. Totally.

I told you that I can't remember the screening it was. We were at the Fox lot before they sold to Disney and Ellis and I were sitting there and he gives me this elbow. It felt like I was fighting in the octagon. It was such a hard elbow. And I go, what the hell are you doing? He looks up. He was look. And it was Mel Brooks. The legend.

Yeah, so great. Amazon and Mel Brooks have a doubt that Spaceball sequel has landed a title. It's not Spaceballs to the search for more money. By the way, giving Luke all the credit he deserves. He did send me the article, but it was in the Amazon stuff. Rather, it's Spaceball's the new one, which is set to open in cinemas on April 23rd, 2027 the title reveal came up in a video with Brooks himself and Amazon has now posted onto their YouTube channel oh we should look at that where is that that's the assessment that's not it

Luke or Pildee can you send me the announcement video I want to look at that announcement video uh Rick Moranus Bill Pullman Daphne Zaniga that's great that definitely Zaniga that's returning George Weiner and Mel Brooks return Brooks was 99 when he filmed scenes for the film additionally Lewis Pullman Kie Palmer Josh Gadd Anthony Kerrigan joined in the fun time oh it's right here okay here we go let's see see that stuff when i play it yep okay let me turn it's going to be a little loud guy nearly and 40 years ago a promise was made god willing will all meet again in space balls too to search for more money the money for money you know hold it wait a minute wait a minute it's me mel Brooks i have a major announcement space balls two of it the search

for more money is not going to be the title of this movie. Why not? Because after all these years, I found the money. There it is, the money. It was in my basement. But everywhere I go, people say, Mel, where's the new space balls? When are you gonna make the new space balls?

When are you gonna make the new one? Well, we did it. And the title is, Spaceballs, the new one. It's just like the old one, but it's newer. That's why it's called the new one. There you have it. I'll see you at the movies. And may the Schwartz be with you.

Love it. So good. Amazing. Amazing. So we got anything he says is funny. You just got it. He goes, well, we were going to call it, but I found the money. It's in my basement.

In my basement. It's like a change. The answer is we had that title and we changed it. We don't want it a new title. I just like, I have grandparents who are not that old. And it's like the difference in energy. It's like, what is this man doing? Oh, it's incredible.

It's really, really good. So, anyway. Walker told me I had AIDS. I don't know. That was. What? Come on. What is that?

Haley Jollosman, what are you doing? No, is that real? Yeah, it's from Walker, Texas Ranger. That's how he ends. Walker told me I had AIDS. It's absolutely ridiculous. Oh, my gosh. Why would they do that?

No, this is like, it's almost as bad as this. Oh, Mr. Sam Jones. Like that. So he's. literally like that was just a fail like he came yeah he almost he almost played for three championships instead he lost you're supposed to go to new york with that

I would actually have to like delete my accounts for like a year ago like completely incognito if I did that especially when you had PLD's podcast at the time bringing it up every other 13 so yeah he he he

he was less he was he handled that way better then he handled spectacular. I think because he made me a promise after spectacular. He would never do anything like that again. And he didn't. He didn't. So anyway, space balls, it's coming out, excited that's coming out.

They're shooting and everything too. And someone said in the comment section, and this, unfortunately, he said, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I don't think space balls too is going to do very well. It's going to be like naked gun. I hate that he could be right. Right. I hate that he could be right. It's Amazon, though, so like the streaming, it'll probably be.

blow up on on on prime and and that's where it'll it'll do well but i naked gun did okay it should have done great it should have done great it was so much that i loved watching that movie and i left my fucking ass off in that movie i've seen it now three times it's it's it's i love it um i really hope that it plays i don't know are you are well you know what's funny is uh you're you're going through what everyone else is going to be going through you're not going to be going to the movies anytime soon. I know. I know. I'm like trying to see like especially the first few months. Well, it's, it's better for me because we're watching a lot of those new releases together the first time on, you know, because you won't be able to see it on yeah out in the theater. It just doesn't

happen. Just doesn't happen. I don't think Riley's been in the movies in like three years. I know. Yeah. I know. So it's just that's what happens when you for the only, the only reason, the only reason I saw movies when, you know, my two kids were born, because it was going and reviewing them. And that's how it was, that's right. Went for work. So I had to go. Yeah, for both of us to go, it would be like, yeah.

Very hard. It's too tough. Anyway, so let's get into some more of the Amazon stuff, because that was part of it. And Amazon's really starting to make a move. And they're, you know, like I said, they got space balls, which is a big one, for sure. and let's look at the other stuff that they had. So there's Amazon's on cinema commitment. They talk about bondcasting.

I hope there's more stuff in here than just that. Let's see. Let's see what else there is. Amazon came out swinging for its major cinema con presentation tonight in Vegas, affirming its commitment to theatrical in ways other streaming and tech giants, Netflix, and Apple have not. Prime video and Amazon had Mike Hopkins made fun of the fact that saying, while some of our competitors have dipped their toes in and out of this,

theatrical waters. For us, this isn't a test or an experiment. I mean, they can flex right now because they have Project Hail Mary. He adds that the company's commitment to 15 films every year in cinema is on schedule names to build films that give audiences a reason to leave the house. Project Hell Mary star Ryan Gosling and Lord and Miller were on hand to thank exhibitors for the success of the Amazon title, which is getting its theatrical run extended. Courtney Valenti, head of film, she used to be a Warner Bros. Head of film at Amazon MGM Studios also touched upon the James Bond franchise, more specifically the casting of the main role. Don't get too excited.

Please know that we're taking the time to do this with care and deep respect in the dream of a lifetime for all of us to bring audiences. This is next chapter and responsibility. We don't take lightly. What I can tell you is this. When you pair one of the most beloved franchises in history with a world-class filmmaking team, including the brilliant director, Denise Villeneuve, extraordinary producers, Pascal and Heyman,

executive producer Tanya LaPoint and screenwriter Stephen Knight, you set the stage for something that's truly worth of the Bond on legacy. The film is coming and the time is right. We'll have much more to share. Does anybody have a link of the rest of the Amazon stuff? Please and thank you. I'd like to talk about the Masters universe and other things too. Unless they, was that in the notes? Let me say. No, it's not. If somebody can send me that link, I'd like to cover what else they had in there too, please. So the Bond stuff, you know, like obviously Mike's not here to talk about it.

But I think this is the right calling. People are bummed about. the fact that they didn't have um they didn't have any bond casting but why right until you're ready why do it yeah i completely agree yeah and denny's still working on dune three right now that's so you know i feel like that was always going to be the plan like i think he said i'm not going to be focusing on that until i'm done with dune right um exactly that's exactly that yeah right so why do you want to why do you want to I look I know everybody wants to find out who bond is but I think Courtney Blentie said it's like we don't have much to tell you except that we're going to do it and we're excited about doing it and it's a priority and that's

all you need so um all right let's talk of the other Amazon stuff a link over here everything else that was announced um you got space balls too we just talked about for sure there's the announcement there um let's see God streaming yada yada Masters of universe footage shows the true power of He-Man, the footage of Masters universe began with Adam in the back of a cop car

and the police are mocking him saying cool sword Highlander. The cop car is stuck in traffic and we see people running away from their cars. Beastman leaves onto our truck and roars and he slams down to the cop car and rips the door off. The cops run and Adam grabs a sword and gets out of the way. Beastman catches and knocks him down, sends him flying a truck. He

appears hurt. Tila comes and Okay, so that's how we're going to find him getting off Earth. Please get him off Earth. And then we get a moment of the pair recognize each other. Tila takes Adam back on a ship to attorney. Skeletor is next and he says the universe shall quake in my shadow. He-Man launches out on his flying bike. Skeletor says you can pretend to be the hero, but without that sword, who are you?

Skeleton's henchman tried to take the sword. We get a fun fight scene. Everyone fighting each other. And He-Man is flying outnumbered, but his incredible strength saves the day. Highlander is what they shot. I heard this is pretty, look at that shot. That's a cool shot. with Henry Cavill.

Highlander segment began with a message from Henry Cavill, who was looking quite to shovel to use in attendance because they're still filming. He does, however, give us some footage,

which is very visually dynamic and features a lot of red lanterns. Footage is set to Queens, We Will Rock You, and we then get a look at Batista's character who says, when my sword changes history, you'll have a front row seat.

Cavill then fights a guy in front of yellow lit up screens, and we thought it evoked John Wick imagery, but even more heightened. So, yeah, that's another thing I heard a lot, is that it looked at John Wick. Esk. And I think that that's the reason why is because the same isn't what's his face doing it?

Chad, uh, from the freaking John Wick franchise. Project Helmarie crosses 525 million at the global box office. Mike Hopkins. We talked about that. He said it was over 525 million. Thomas Crown Affair footage reveals Michael B. Jordan is after much more than just a painting. I'm looking forward to seeing what they're going to do with that. Bekeeper 2 footage shows why you shouldn't mess with Jason, Satan and Adam Clay. We'll get more beekeeper 2. I play Rocky.

This is the one I heard that apparently this is going to be like Oscar stuff. Peter Fairley, Anthony Apollito, Anna Sophia Rob, Stephen James. Now, how is that helpful to anyone? However, the real amazing story is about the man who made it, Sylvester Stallone. We get to see some footage. We hear Sly talking about how kids used to make fun of him so much. He had to change his name to Mike, but Sasha told him to go back to his original name. He's also told by Matt Dillon's Frank Stallone, Sr.,

that he doesn't have the looks to be a movie star, not to mention you talk like you have rocks in your mouth. then see sasha telling slide to write a good part for himself and sly refusing to sell the script unless he has him as the star he ends up taking a lower salary to become the star and he's given the threat that if the production falls behind he will be replaced footage ends of sly saying this is a movie about believing in yourself and the final shot is a funny one of a guy asking sly how long he's been boxing never box a day of my life sly responds to which the guy said well that's kind of a big note um i play rocky will release november 13th that means they have a lot of confidence in it if it's November 13th.

I can't believe this is not in one of my, it should have been in my highly anticipated movies. It should have been. Sheep detectives, another one that's Hugh Jackman, Nicholas Braun. They got a lot of stuff, Amazon for sure. How to Rob a Bank wants to Teach you the Art of Crime online. Your mother, your mother is exactly the film Hershaw Lee wants to make. It's another movie that I've heard a lot of good things about.

And Amazon, MGM would do the commitment to 15 years. So Amazon is really becoming a force in theatrical. know yeah i mean they have so much money so it kind of was only a matter of time you can have money and not use it correctly that's true i feel like it's been like a slow time coming of building the brand up because i feel like for the first few years and it started doing streaming it really was mostly about the direct movies that would come out and then you could rent when they're out and then slowly they started having some of their own originals and then produce stuff. And then now that I feel like they're at a really good place where they've come out with

like a few very good movies and shows. Well, they're also doing, like you look at what I just said, with I play Rocky, which that's going to be a smaller movie. Apparently the guy who played, is playing Rocky is the same guy that play Pacino in the offer, which I love that show. I loved that show. And it's in November release, that's an Oscar type movie in the same way that they went for um after the hunt which is amazon movie but then you look then they were going for oscars and stuff they have that it's not the only thing they're doing though like like an a 24 makes specific budget movies and the same way blumhouse does and everything they have specific budgets they do amazon because like you said they have so much money they play all over the spectrum so

you'll get something like i play rocky to the and then the maherasha lee title and then you get masters of the universe or these other things you know like uh that's bond, that's what they're able to do. And that's why they're going to become a bigger threat, I think overall. And you look at what Project Henry just did. And now you also have credibility behind it. It's like, oh, Amazon's making good stuff. Yeah. Yeah, it's true. Yeah, I feel like they've, they've been building it out for a few years now and where like their stuff where I'm like, that was genuinely really good. It's kind of like how I felt like when Netflix had like three great originals that came out and I was like okay so they're other than their shows just the movies I feel

like that's kind of a harder jump for these studios to make 100 and then and then they yeah so I feel like the James Bond merger was huge for them too I think it's like consistently building excitement for them which is why I think it's also smart not to announce the James Bond character because like people are still going to be talking about it might as well put it closer to production 100% just just wait. It's a bummer, but like, just wait. You don't, you don't need to. It's like, I saw Snyder's tweet and he said like, I was a missed opportunity. Is it though? You know, I don't think it is. For Bond, is it really a missed opportunity? Yeah. The second you announce anything about Bond, it'll be all over the trades, it'll be

everywhere. Totally. It'll be everywhere. So it's like it's, I, and especially with how they're marketing things, they don't need to do it right now. They talked about it. That, that's all they needed to do. They talked about. Um, what? Um, what was. Um, um, what was. Um, was it yesterday. There was something, I can't remember a movie. It was Wonder Woman. No, no, no, no, no. Smet's brought it up. Not Wonder Woman because Wonder Woman hasn't been announced. It's not fully announced, but like. Batman part two. Nothing. Oh, yeah. Nothing on the Batman part too. Like that's crazy. Yeah. That's crazy. It's not a bigger story that they didn't talk about it. People are, oh, I didn't announce the Bond casting. I think it's crazy or they didn't mention

anything about the Batman, too. They made Bonn. They didn't mention the Batman too. Yeah, that's interesting. I didn't even think about that. Crazy. That's all Smetsey. Smetzy brought that up yesterday and I was like, oh, damn. Last story, for now, and then we're going to get into the questions. The Amazing Digital Circus, this has been a phenomenon on YouTube.

Well, it's now going to be in the theater and it sets pre-sales records. The indie animation distributor glitch announced on Friday that hit YouTube animated series, The Amazing Digital Circus will combine its eighth episode and the soon-to-be-released ninth episode finale into a theatrical event distributed by Fathom in theaters in the U.S., Canada, Latin America, and Japan on June 5th. The release comes two weeks before the finale's YouTube release in the four days since the

announcements. Five million in tickets have already been sold, shattering Fathom's pre-sale records. As a result, a 900-screen four-day engagement has turned into an 1,800-plus screen, two-week theatrical run with more screens expected to be added. its opening against Amazon's Masters of the Universe and Paramount's scary movie revival. The pilot episode of the series released in October 20203 has racked up more than 425 million views. Animator, artist, and composer Gooseworks created the series, a psychological dark comedy inspired by Harlan Ellison's famed sci-fi horror short story.

I have no mouth and I must scream. Story follows six people who have been transformed into abstract cartoonish characters in a virtual world, run by an AI ringmaster named Kane. An accountant-turned-cartoon gesture named Pomney is the latest to join the group, and she must find a way to keep her companions together, even as she finds herself trapped in a world of absurdity and horror. Have you watched this series? No, I've never even heard about it, which is shocking.

Yeah. I've done, I did reactions to the entire series, and it just ate a pile of donuts, but I did, but I, and I was like, how did you react to the last one? I was like, because you know, fuckers didn't watch it. Right. But I watched the episode. And I love this series.

How long are the episodes? 25 minutes. Oh, okay. I need to watch this. You should watch it because it's, it's really bizarre. It's right up your alley. It's right.

Is it like salad fingers? What is it? Remember salad fingers? It's like when YouTube was like the biggest in like two, okay. No, no, no, no. It was a weird, weird, weird. No, no, no, no.

This is, this is, this is an actual. Yeah, it's actual animation. But this is so. I love when things happen like this. Like they did their own push. And they built up their whole thing. And they have $5 million. And that's why I said in my intro.

Like this is what gets me excited about doing like the pilot. Totally. It's that we're in a different age right now. You look at these guys. What they did on YouTube. You look at Markey Plyer. You look at Chris Stockman. You look at all these people that are doing these things.

And this is why I'm telling people like why I'm getting so excited about this. Because we have this idea and plan and it's inspirational to see these things. what these people are doing and how they did it. Now, granted, the millions of views that Digital Circus had, but it is still a different age of what the people who support other people can do. Right. And this is one of the things that I wanted to bring up to. I remember, like, you and Mike and the people talk,

when it comes to like AI, right, which is not AI. But when it comes to AI and you guys said, you know, when we talked about the people who had an idea, a movie, I did some guy, and I'm not talking about like studios. I'm talking about some guy who has an idea. He works a nine to five job and he has this idea and he's like, you know what? I really think I can make this idea and I'll put out all the stuff and the stuff that I wrote and I'll put in the eye and see what it looks like and do it.

And to which you guys have said, well, yeah, but you know, you can also go through the process like everyone else. The problem is too when we haven't talked about the process is there's a lot of stupid people that work in the studio who have shot down really great ideas. Oh, yeah. I mean, look at Rocky, right? And look at all, look at all these different things that have happened. It happens all the time too.

So like, what I mean by that is that there could be somebody who's saying, I pitched these things, I did these things. And like that you say, there's one person who did what you said. And they pitched it to everybody and everybody said no. Like everybody. And no one would make it. And the only way he could get it made was to say, you know what? I want to see what it looks like.

I had my video and that that's what I think people will be doing too. But anyway, for the inspiration behind what Digital Circus and everyone else did, like it really has caught on. I'm curious to hear what you think about Digital Circus. I'm definitely going to check it out. I think this is so fun. It's more exciting to me than the Skibbidi-Doo becoming a movie. That I've seen and I'm like, okay, how are you going to make a movie?

this isn't a movie. This is just their episode that are released in a theater. Doing an extension of itself. And yeah, I just think it's really exciting in a day where it feels like you have to be attached to a major studio. You have to have ties to everyone in Hollywood that someone who's, you know, does something on YouTube could blow up like this. Yeah. There was another thing. Someone said, get rid of AI. Yeah, I think we're past that. I think the, who was the new guy, the new head of Disney?

I think confirm this guy's PLD and Luke, but I'm pretty sure he said that there's a lot of visual effects in Doomsday that they used AI. And he said it straight out. And I, listen, what I appreciate, I appreciate it. Confirm that for me, by the way. I don't know if it was a bullshit article. It could be one of those articles that's bullshit. But if it is indeed true, let's get a confirmation if that's true or not.

It could have been one of those, the disgusting. things too that sometimes just throw out those bullshit stories. But if it's a true, it might be a bullshit story. If it's a true story, I want to see if it is. But it very well might have been a fake story. If he said it, then

I actually will say to him, good for saying it now as opposed to someone discovering it later and going to, hey, wait a minute. But I don't know if that's the case. I don't know if someone would just admit it. Maybe so. Maybe it could been horseshit. I saw it this morning and I looked at it like glancing and it wasn't in our

notes. Just something that I saw, but it very well could have been a bullshit article. So if anybody in the chat or anybody else finds that, let me know. So this is another thing. So here, look at this comment, right? I think it's weird to play YouTube videos and movie theater. Feels like studios pantering about that's, that's, there is no studio. There is no studio. That, so you're, you're, you're, you're, you're incorrect there. There is, there is no studio. This is the, this is the, this is the people who did this. made enough money to maybe get a distributor and work with Fathom and sell tickets to watch it. I also wonder, Galak, Tits, how long you, like, how old you are.

Are you in our generation? Because my daughter wrote me immediately. My 14-year-old said, I want to go see this in the theater. She never goes through. So this is meant for those people. Right. That's awesome. So it's weird for maybe you and me to watch YouTube videos and things,

but it ain't weird for 14-year-olds and the millions upon millions of people who watch that thing. Yeah. So it's not weird at all. It's actually brilliant. Now you might not want to do that. There's certain things that I, you know, that I can't believe that people watch that do millions upon millions. We live in a different time. We live in a different time.

Yeah, so you get that kind of money. You don't need the studio. This is, again, to bring it back to myself, it's one of the main reasons that I'm doing this pilot, the way that I'm doing it. To not toot my and Martinez on horn here, we've gotten very positive responses off the script. We could start taking meetings

and selling the script and pitching the script to studios with the understanding that if someone buys it, they might bring in other writers. We're not going to play those roles. We're not going to have creative input on it. Our goal was to find a director and producer that shared our goals, shared our sense of humor and saw us in roles. We found that person. And then the idea is also to bypass this system instead of getting funded by a studio. and that really go to you guys, show you what we're trying to do, give you a new experience,

let you guys be in charge of the show getting made in the way that other people are doing, the way that they did it, digital circus way other people. That's how you can do it. And that is the power of building your own audience now. That's how it goes. So anyway, all right. Digital circus, what do you think? You're going to check it out?

Not check it out? Oh, it was disgusting fish. it was bullshit by the way bullshit playing off the Disney laying off thousands of visual effects folks okay it was disgusting fish so it was horseshit okay it makes sense and that's why that's why nobody else was talking about

right sorry so thank you PLD or Luke so I guess it's it would have been one of the biggest stories out there so it's it's horseshit anyway Steph it's time for the questions okay all right now you haven't been at the game in a little bit

so didn't you and Mike win together. We did. Okay. So you got to go and you've got to get to 206 today. Oh my gosh. Who did that? Me. Oh. Yeah. Roku was on the show Monday. So I just, I ran a two in two hour and 30 minute show and I talked about a the pilot and other things too. And I also said I wanted to see a look on Mike's face when he said he had to beat me. Right. Right. That helps. But damn. Okay. I'll pill battle, but let's go. But 14 right now. Okay.

So I think that we got a shot. Okay. But I want to see support stuff. Let's get Steph a win with me on it. And then you can also talk about it. And look, I saw questions coming in about the pilot. This is, it's going to be this. I'm also going to say, I don't know what it is yet.

And I was going to, Steph, I tell you this off air, tell you it on air. You don't mind that I do stuff on on air. I think the week of, I've already talked to Roxy about this. I'm going to talk to other hosts as well too, but I'm telling you right now and the audience, I think the week of May 1st, right? So is that May 1st? No, May 4th is when it starts, May 4th until May 8th. I'm going to be doing the show super early and I'm probably going to do that week of shows

just that week by myself because I have to do other things. I have other things I've got to do in order to get it. We're probably going to run early on that point. So just letting you know, we'll still do the reactions you and I and other things too, but just there's going to be one week of shows where I'm going to be doing it by myself. But the other thing is there will be, I'm hoping a week of shows where I'm going to have the team on for the pilot, the producers, directors, like everyone hoping to do. And then to introduce them into the fray to then say, okay, I talked to the director, director wants to do a reaction with me. Oh, really? Yeah.

That's hysterical. Also, maybe we can take recommendations from the audience to do that. So that's what we got coming up. So let's ask questions, everything you want to do. Let's do it. Let's get into the topic. Go pal. Welcome back, staff.

Long time, no C. That's right. Hi, go, pal. Thank you. That's the best. Tom Hanks. Good to see him. I'm behind on episodes and I'm still on pre-penny.

Oh, my goodness. I try listening several times at work and had to stop. for laughing the man's voice just ends me you got to watch it did you ever watch that interview no oh step you got to watch that interview i know i know i know i watched part of it and then i just never finished it i know i know so good uh king of the wicker people any chance studios do a double feature with mortal combat two and and street fighter probably not because there's different different studios right that would make all the money have a good week and weekend guys i mean it'd be interesting to do something like that maybe if you're a theater and you have both of them

you're showing Mortal Kombat at 1, but I don't know if there's a deal that you have to make with the studios in order to do that. Go pal, y'all should check out Margot's got money trouble. Didn't you talk about that yesterday? I think you talked about it. Oh, yeah, that looked good. Yeah. Seattle K. And I said, hey, yay, what's going on?

Thanks, big balls. Thank you. Go pal. Jonathan Davis was also in due revenge with Camilla Mendez and Maya Hawk on a Netflix a couple years ago. I think that's the only place I saw him. Okay. Go Pello's got like a I know. Encyclopedia. And I said, hey, what a wonderful kind of day. And I'm way too old for Arthur, but my niece and nephew watch that when we were little. Okay. I loved. I, Street Fighter, though, is the best. Nathan Drake also says Street Fighter. Trailers. This is great. I swear to God,

you know, PLD is in the bottom of the thing. I can see him. And he's not doing this, but in my head, I thought he was. thought he was just spinning around in his chair like oh just like spinning and like you know he just he just kind of woke up so i thought like something he just kind of lost a little bit and was spinning around this year um would have been great because i would have brought him into the stream of he was spinning around in this chair anyway street fighter was a great such a great surprise any more faith in noah as rambov just seen the trailer um strangely yes strangely yes when you shouldn't be because there's such different tones. But I never, because he was so different in Black Adam.

He was great as Ken in this because I didn't even know it was him until halfway through it. And I was like, oh, that's a really good casting. So I've got a little bit more faith in there because he changed himself up tremendously from that Black Adam role to this. So yeah, I do actually. Mike Joyce, I haven't seen a Fawker's movie, but now that Ariana Grande is the new one, I'll definitely watch them all to get cut up. Yeah, we didn't talk about that.

I didn't even see the trailer. Did you see the trailer? Yeah, I did. Good? Yeah, I was, I think it's such a smart move that Ariana Grande is doing another comedy. I think that is such a smart lane from her. She can, she can always do, you know, romantic lead if she wanted to. But I think what separates her is that she's genuinely a funny actress.

She's funny, yeah. And the story looks good. So I'm excited for it. Um, yes, I am curious to watch the trailer. Have you seen, you've seen the other movies? Yeah. Okay. So I, I've said, I might have not seen the third one.

I didn't even know there was a third one. I know. I only found that out because there were comments were talking about it. Did Sam think the long night was too dark? There were a couple times she's like, I can't see shit, but she didn't really go too much. I didn't think about that. Dark smirk, dark helmet or Winnebago popcorn bugget chances. Oh, that would be great.

Dark helmet, you have to do, right? You got to do a dark helmet. The popcorn bucket? I mean, you have to. Yeah. But yeah, I hope so. I'm always excited now. That's like a funny, also new thing that they've done at the theater.

It's just a popcorn bucket. Mike Joyce, the marketing for Spaceball's 2 is going to be fun. I agree. Yeah, that was already fun, that little video with Mel Brooks. Iosci Yomatsu. That street fighter trailer is quintessential. This looks so bad.

It's going to be great. Steph, get ready to be worried. 24-7 kids are a blessing, but yikes. I'm already. I already am worried. I'm like prepping already her plan to do martial arts because I'm like, she's going to be such a cutie, patootie. I need her to be able to kick ass.

Nice. See, that's what you got to do. Michael D. I doubt that Disney Marvel will release a trailer online for Doomsday, but at least a poster and maybe casting updates. I hope I'm wrong. There is rumors that they're going to release a trailer tonight with it, to the public as well. But there's going to be a lot of news with Doomsday, I think for sure.

Yeah. Right? It has to be. For sure. If you are doing the last panel and you're Disney, you're the bot, you win the damn box office war every year. Even when you have shit years, you still win the box office every year. And you are the last presentation on a Thursday. You've got to top everybody else.

Right now, Warner Brothers has the title. The Warner Brothers still to me have the best amount of news, footage, everything that they show. like it it Warner Brothers is in control right now but Disney has a lot of things they could take back that control we'll see if that happens uh Johnny Bacchiza how is step feeling um I'm good I'm actually really good like everyone was kind of like fear mongering me about the third trimester I am more tired than I was in the second trimester but I'm still able to work out um my body doesn't ache knock on wood yet so I'm feeling pretty good good okay um let's see next one after that support from this is from hey mr cj support for mama step diapers ain't cheap no they're not nope they say they go

through like eight a day crazy you have do you have the disposable thing already oh yeah the diaper genie yep yep um johnny petriza what genre of movies would the director react to um um um I don't want to answer that just yet because I think that it's one of the things that would be great when we have the director on that they talk about their things that they haven't seen. Yeah. And then we can have people suggest stuff so you can get to know them a little bit better. Yeah. I'm curious about that. I also, I would actually love to do a reaction with Martini as well.

I want the audience to get her. For sure. Did you see what I post? You were watching the trailer, but we're trying to get our socials up. I'm trying to get my Instagrams are like 60K right now. We're trying to get to 100. And she just started. So you remember, you remember the script pretty well, right?

Yep. There's a character that her character played. I don't know if you remember it in the thing from, I don't want to give too much deal on it, but if you go into it, there are certain things that she did. Anyway. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. She made an Instagram account with the character. Oh, that's funny.

And she's that's within three weeks. The Instagram account has almost 60,000 followers. Really? She has a video that did 2.4 million. She has every video she does on a minimum does like between 50 to 300,000 views. Oh my gosh. It's crazy. So it's TMI Tammy with an eye.

Okay. You should absolutely follow her. and you will probably absolutely love it because it's definitely geared towards the ladies as well too. But it was so bizarre because I saw people. You know what's hilarious? So there's someone that I put on, there's one of the characters in the,

we have a list of actors that we want to put for these roles. And there's someone on the list for one of these roles that was perfect for one of these roles and actually liked one of her posts. Oh, really? And then, strangely enough, a girl I went to, it was in the eighth grade with who follows, follows me, I saw that she liked one of her posts.

Like it found everybody. That's so funny. It's so bizarre. I love, it's crazy how like it can happen like that. Yeah. Yeah. Did you see,

but did you see, have you seen, do you see the account? I'm looking at it right now. Isn't it nuts? Yeah, awesome. Nuts.

And what, what's she at right now? followers. She was at 57.4. It was at 57.1 this morning when I look. Oh, my gosh. Okay, let's see. So we got one more left at 18. You want to keep, you don't want to keep Stefan for a while? Yeah. Um, last one for now. Mirror domains. I got a 3.30, the mummy screening, got a hot take. Yeah, so I saw that movie. Um, and my reaction, as soon as Luke's going to send me a thumbnail for that one. And as soon as I get a thumbnail for it, I want to make their review. Is this the...

The Cronin's the Mummy. Same guy did the Evil Dead. Okay. Remake or he did a version of it. He's like a really, it's a hardcore horror kind of gory movie. Oh. Wasn't for me. It's a well-made movie.

It is a like if you're, so I will ask you this, Mirro and domains. If you are a, if you're a horror fan, I mean, a gore fan, I think you're, going to love it. But to me it relied on that a little bit too much. And a lot and a lot of times, like this is a reaction of a lot of these people in the movie. And like there's and it played a little bit more like a, it wasn't as much of a mummy movies. It was like a demon possession movie. And there was like there's just one. The story is for the trailer and the synopsis. I'm not spoiling anything. It's like, there's this family. They're living in Egypt and this girl gets abducted. They wind up finding her, you know, and they find her. And when she comes back, she ain't the same.

Oh, is this the one where it's like eight years later? Yes. And so like a sarcophagus. Yes. And so that looks really creepy. It's super creepy. It's super creepy. And so if you're going for people, I'd be like, That's how my child. My child. 100%. But here's the other thing. Not only is it not my child, we need more than just me and you taking care of her.

I need the FBI and the CIA here. He says this one point. And she's like, oh, you don't want the responsibility. It's like, no, look at her face. No. You know what I mean? And look at what she just did. And look, she just did something in the previous scene.

Oh, that. God. That you're like, that's not normal. No. It's time to call in everybody. Right. And it happens throughout the movie. Oh, yeah.

No, I'm not alone in the house with her. No. And there's so many times you're like, and there's so many loud noises that no one's paying attention to. Absolutely not. And you're like, how do you not know that that's happening right now? No, one thing I'm not going to do is let my child scare the shit out of me in my own house.

Yeah. No. Last one for now. Johnny Patrice. This is the best, by the way, that I love his, there's a story behind his icon. Is it Evil McGee? Or Avatar, rather. Um, no. So yesterday, and I'm bummed because I thought it was actually, it looks like it was a bit, but, um, so Smets does these games now on Wednesday.

Yeah. So he, is this the one? That's not. Where is it? Not it. I find it. The hell is it. There it is. So which of these on-screen legends subjectly was the best mentor? Obi-1, Mickey, or Colonel Troutman, right? So it makes no sense why Mickey would be in there, right? Right. Unless Mickey was Mickey from Rocky.

Oh, my God. Right. So we, so, but, but then it found out that Kevin kind of fed that is it. Kevin should have held that for me. I should, I, I should have never known that it was a bit. He's so great. Yeah, he's great. So, uh, let's go. Is the baby room sorted? No.

Okay. Baby room is not sorted yet? Nope. No, huh? We're remodeling. Oh, that's fair. Okay. And we're on the time crunch. But the, I'm not going to stress about it because it's going to get done. And also the baby's going to sleep with us for six months. Okay. In our room. In her own little carriage. But she's going to be in our room. So she doesn't really need a room right now. But it will be done. Okay. Did your baby not sleep in your room? My second one did. People go half and half.

I mean, it's like up to the parents, but I'm just curious. Second one, Macy did. Macy did. Did you watch that video with Macy, by the way? The one that I posted was what, did I tell you what she said? No, what happened. So two things.

One, I'll send you the actual footage from her. I played the audio of it. Okay. but she she were watching something and she and she's she watches this what's called Jordan matters is the name of it and the guy's got like 32 million subscribers he does the thing with his daughter and I said wow 32 million

subscribers what's he doing she was like you'd have that many subscribers if your channel wasn't boring nobody wants to watch anybody watch movies she should put me in it make me this I completely agree tell her I've asked 40 times which I agree with you But I have asked why aren't your children? It would be so hard for me. Like, I keep going back and forth.

Like, I, especially if my daughter's as entertaining as Macy, it's like, how do you not, it would be so hard not to post stuff. Yeah. There's a new, you and I are going to be happy about this story that just broke. What? Big story. So, a, PLD and, um, and, um, and, And Luke, make sure that Jonathan has a time code for this because sometimes he doesn't do the

super chat aspect of it. This is big. Steph, look at this. Top Gun 3. A fish in the works with Tom Cruise returning Paramount having their panel right now. And they said Tom Cruise is returning for Top Gun 3 Paramount announced during its cinema con presentation in Vegas. The sequel to director Joseph Kaczyxinsky's blockbuster Top Gun Maverick, who was first revealed to

be in the works back in 2024 with scribe Aaron Krueger, who co-wrote Maverick with Aaron Warren Singer and Christopher Macquarie. Top-down Maverick became a blockbuster hit when many theaters were still shuddering during the COVID-19 pandemic. It grossed 1.5 billion. Did it really? Wow. At the global box office from a 170 million budget, giving movie theaters a jolt they need when times were tough. Cruz returned for Maverick 36 after he debuted his hot shot pilot in 86. His lieutenant Pete Maverick Mitchell went back to the famous flight school to teach a new batch of pilots how to successfully run a dangerous mission. He also crossed paths with Bradley Rooster Bradshaw, the son of his best friend Pete Goose Bradshaw, who died in the first

movie together. They're able to complete the mission, yada, yada, yada, yada. So alongside Cruz and Teller, the Maverickast had several up-and-coming stars, Glenn Powell, Lewis Pullman, Monica Baparo, Danny Ramirez, Jay Ellis, Great Chas, and Manny Chiquinto. Mani Chiquinto was in that? I didn't realize Mani Chiquito was in that. Yeah, they cut him, they cut like all the other student scenes out. It was like a story back then. I didn't know that. Their fellow cast members,

yes, yes, yes, yes. So they announced number three with Cruz coming back. This is a no-brainer. It's a no-brainer. Yeah. I mean, the movie made $1.5 billion

and it wasn't, no one was in a cape. Right. And it was like just such a feel-good movie. I just remember leaving a theater, like, was that the best experience in a theater I've ever had maybe. I was there with you

when you saw it for the, that was my second time. I had seen it two days beforehand or something. What the hell? Yeah. It was it was one of my favorite experiences in the theater. Totally. Loved watching that movie so much because they just capture the essence. And if they, I just feel like they have it.

Like they got like they, they have the sauce. Like they know, they know what is working for that franchise. Right. Right. I feel like they have the sauce. So I, I'm, I think that they've earned the trust. say okay if you got another one because remember that movie was it was pretty much done and it was supposed to come out in 2019 it's just because the pandemic hit or 2020 something like that it was like it the trailer for it showed at when we went to play when we went when Mike Kalinowski played rachel cushing in san diego they showed that trailer and then you know four years later we saw or

whatever it was we saw it in the theater three years later it's so good yeah um all right see let's go um and let's check this out let's go we got some more uh more we're at 23 fighting along stuff fighting the long okay um we did that already support from go pal more support from go pal thank you go pal also says doesn't kaczynski have a lot in the queue already i mean yes and it probably means that that freaking uh david grush uap movie would probably take the back step because you know he's the priority is going to be top gun three obviously. That would make sense. Um, but I'm on Apple, I'm going, hey, hurry up. Still wondering why we're at war with Vermont, says go pal.

Oh, was that a story in Top Gun Maverick? Um, yes. I think because they said, they said, um, because there was no, um, they wouldn't really commit to who the, the, the bad guys were in. Yeah, they can't. No. Johnny, but she's a Stephen. What's your favorite one piece opening? I think she means stuff. What's your, yeah, oh, do you know, so, so, Do you know that Roxy finished season one, right? Oh, no, I didn't. So she, she wasn't vibe in with it for the first, like, the tone for like the first four or five episodes, but she liked the last three.

Okay. So I think that if she watched the last three, I think she'll get into the last, I think she'll get into season two. I know. I really want her to, but I'm also like, it might not be for her. But, I mean, look, I knew that she was going to like Sanji. I knew she would like Sanji. Yeah.

And she also likes Naomi. But she doesn't like Luffy. She likes him better now, but she doesn't like him. She thinks he's annoying. Well, that's his character. The best. I love it. So freaking positive.

Yeah. All right, listen, it was, it was great to talk with you today. Bummer. It was. We got 23. Okay. It is what it is. A good number.

It is what it is. But we talked about a lot of good stuff today. We got a lot of good clips. Steph, where can the good people find you? What do you got going on on the chat? At Stephsabraa, YouTube.com slash Stephsabra. I'm dropping a video in like an hour on my channel.
