If I was a betting man, and I am, I would say, put some money on Christopher Nolan directing a James Bond film. Amazon wants it to happen.

Pretty bad. So much so they're saying, hey, we'll give you final cut. It never happens with James Bond ever. So it never has happened. And if that does happen, not only will Christopher Nolan be the first one to do it, We'll get a Christopher Nolan James Bond film, which he's been very vocal on that he's wanted to do that. Now, does Mike Kalinowski want Christopher Nolan to direct a James Bond film? That is very, very interesting.

And I don't know the answer to that question. So myself and Mike will get to the bottom of it and whether or not he wants to see a Christopher Nolan led Bond film. But I do know is that Mike is very excited for the new Mission Impossible film. The test screenings is those already happened. so we'll see what the word is on those and if Mike gives a crap about that whether whatever they're saying um there's so there's daredevil reviews i don't know what mike i don't even know i guess seen it yet but i'm curious what he thinks of it if he did see it um and i don't know what the ratings are i'm not sure yet doomsday news other things we got a lot to talk about and then mike his head can spin

when he finds out the number that he's got to catch today when it comes to just me and him and whether or not just the two of us can do it and whether he can do it without step. So that being said, let's get to the show. It is the Christian Arloff show here on this Thursday. Thank everybody for joining me. Let's get to it. Here we go. Welcome back to the show, ladies and gentlemen.

It is Thursday, and we are having a hell of a week. At least I am. Hope you are. Joining me on the show today is Mike Kalanowski. What's up, Mike? how you doing buddy what's going on i'm feeling good they got no lawnmore going the internet's working don't jinx it my camera works so here we go let's go don't jinx it um yeah yesterday i supposed we didn't do the show yesterday because we were supposed to have Andrew guy on yeah i haven't

seen Andrew in a bit and i just had so much stuff going on uh in general that i was like you know i and because i'm not on the show tomorrow and i was like i have to try to figure some things out and I had to push Andrew, hopefully until next week. And if his schedule allows it, we'll get him on next week. But I just couldn't do it. But did you see him on Matlock? I haven't seen him yet, but I haven't all set. He's good.

I bet it's great. Yeah. So are you ready to go for these stories here today? Go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. There's some tailor-made stories here for you today.

I see. I saw that. I think you're really going to like these. But anyway, so you've got to catch up, though, because you're going to do this all by yourself today. No, Steph. Well, here's a thing. I heard your intro. Listen, you would have, this would be your third in a row. It would be Mikey three belts again.

Yeah, well, hold on. We realized that it doesn't matter the day. Right. We remember before it was like, oh, it's just Roxy. Then I was just Roxy. But I was with Steff and we nailed it. Right. But then I didn't want to chase it, but I had to move with Roxy last week.

We got it again. But I saw the magic that was, it's Crystal, right? Crystal, yeah. I saw the magic of that happening in real time. I bought it twice in a row. I broke the thing of whatever I thought was, you know, days or people. So you're wrong. You can say, you can say you're wrong.

I was wrong. Okay. So whatever it is from now on, Lady Luck, roll the dice, however she may, and we'll see. All right. Let's see if Mike can take on Roxy here today. The number we're looking for is 169. 169 is the moment. That's not a possibility.

All right. All right, well, here we go. This is the story itself, and it is a hell of a story here, Mike. I think you're going to, I don't know what you're going to think about it, actually. I would assume that you're going to love this story. I've had lots of thoughts. Had people, anytime something Bond happens, people have the phone, like, kind of blows up. Yeah, yeah.

So I've had thoughts all morning. I can't wait to hear them because there's a lot. And this is Christopher Nolan's Amazon Bond is now the talk is heating up. In the wake of Amazon's purchase, a full creative. control of the James Bond franchise. Much discussion and debate has been about where the vulnerable property will go from here and how the retail giant intends to handle it. Will we see the movies, we see TV shows, multiple spinoffs? One suggestion that gets repeatedly brought up is hiring longtime Bond fan Christopher Nolan to direct the next film.

That talk came to a head last week in features written in the wake of... No, not bone structure. In the wake of what, Mike? deal with Nolan having reportedly expressed interest in directing Bond after the release of Tenet in 2020. The issue was producer Barbara Brockley made it clear that no director would have final cut while Bond was under her purview, which led to Nolan passing. Well, things have changed in favor of Nolan. Brockley is now Gonsky. The franchise's next film, by its nature, is a complete reboot and thus could do almost anything. And Nolan can now get final cut on any kind of bond film that he wants to make.

Additionally, Amazon not only sports deep pockets, but also a willingness to do a long theatrical window for their film releases and would very much welcome the prestige of having a Nolan film under its roof. The rap has now spoken with a handful of top franchise producers about the deal and the consensus reporting, reportedly is that Amazon needs to hire Nolan and give him whatever time and money he needs. One says if Amazon wants to preserve the legacy, they should do everything possible to get Nolan and wait for him as long as needed.

Another source claims that Amazon is probably already contacted Nolan since there's a strong mutual desire to make it happen. All seem to be pushing for this possibility, but none of the increased chatter suggests it has any actual impact towards a possible deal being reached. No one's currently busy filming the Greek epic The Odyssey, which opens July 26 and is famous for focusing on one project at a time. Any serious potential bond deal likely won't be made for a while. Okay, this is a really big story. It's a really big story. And I agree with this article and everybody else, the insiders. If you're Amazon, you got to do everything in your power to make this happen.

You got to overspend. It doesn't matter even if the movie itself is going to wind up. If you're like, you're going to make a little bit of a loss, even if the movie makes $800 million, you're still going to make a loss. You make this happen because it starts right off the gate and it shows you, okay, you guys were all worried about us, taking over. Well, guess who didn't want to do the final cut stuff? It was Brockley.

She was the one holding this back. And now you got Christopher Nolan putting this in the forefront and starting us off. And who knows? Maybe he'll do one. Maybe he'll do two. Whatever it might be, maybe he'll be the start of whatever universe it is, because I'm sure that there's a lot of people that would be like, well, it was Christopher Nolan's Bond universe after seeing that movie.

And they're spinning off those things. And he's a producer on some of these things, too. maybe he'll be a little bit more on board with it. I'm so curious to what you think about this in general, because I know you're a big Nolan guy, so what do you make it? You know, it's interesting because my first thoughts were,

I kind of felt he had moved on from Bond because there was a period, I don't remember when it was like 10 years ago or so, maybe 12 or 13 now. He was really kind of wanting to, like that was his thing. And, you know, but then it seems in the past 13 years,

he's kind of done his own thing now, not franchises after the dark night and the stories that captivated him. And you could definitely see in his work, whether it's Inception or Tenant, he's made pretty much a Bond film already in his eyes. Even with Batman Begins, like Razal Ghoul is basically a Bond villain. You know, the way he did it. Then the whole end sequence of Inception is Honor Majesty's Secret Service based, like kind of homage to Tenet is a Bond film, essentially.

So I don't know if he has like now they haven't said Nolan No one's not even commented or said anything about this right like I think the only thing he said it wasn't too long ago but I mean he he's still very much This passion about doing a bond film and wants to do it. I don't know if that if he had already scratched that itch and he's just like I like doing I'm gonna do because like look what he did you know tenant to you know the odyssey like what was tenant was his last one tenant no it was upaheimriah Jesus. Look, a tenant to Oppenheimer to Odyssey.

Like, you couldn't get any different with those street projects. Right. So he seems to be on a role with doing whatever he wants to do. But if he's still got that itch, if it's that one thing, he's like, ah, I never got to do a true Bond film. Well, it's not, I mean, I see, and that's the way, man. I see comments in there that are saying, you know, original bond. I'm original Nolan. Let's keep the original Nolan.

And I understand that completely. I really do it. But the Odyssey isn't necessarily. original. It's but it's version of it. I know you're saying. No, but the other stuff, I get it. Inception is one of my favorite movies of all time, but

he, going back and forth, that's how good he is and it also emphasizes the point of what you and I have talked about many times in the show that he is as big as star as the movie star is because he's like, you know that he's doing the Odyssey and you want to see it. If someone else did the Odyssey, it'd be dependent on who it was,

but they were doing an Odyssey movie like well who's directing it it's right now it's Christopher Nolan's the Odyssey yeah if anybody else minus one or two other names it would be the Odyssey directed by you know what I mean and so yeah of course James Pond Christopher Nolan's James Bond sounds exciting to me it gets me I like James Bond I like James Bond movies not like you but I like James Bond a lot I would be first one in line for Christopher Nolan James Bond film You know that. I think in a perfect world for Amazon, this is their golden ticket.

You know, but he also has a lot of, like, they're going to give him first cut if he wanted that, which is a huge thing. But I think also look at him. I think it was the break with Warner Brothers about the theatrical release window for tenant and all that stuff. That he was just like, I'm going to Universal. Screw you guys. So I think Amazon is, if they open the doors, give blank check, do whatever you want. make your movie and we'll do whatever you want i think that's such a tough offer to pass especially if he's got that itch still like man i have that idea that i never got to do

and i can do it so he loves bond he's passionate about it he's passionate about he wants to do it um he'll do it now the other thing that they mentioned which people will have to think about is that he's going to be tied up in the odyssey and he's really not going to start talking about this until 2026. Yeah. So that means you're probably not going to get a Bond movie if you want him. You're probably not going to get a Bond movie

until 2027, 2028, right? At the earliest. To which I say, you waited this long anyway. Who cares? Right. I think Amazon's not hurting for content right now, like as far as they're not,

like, oh, we got to get a movie out. We've got to get a movie out where they're just a studio that does movies. You know, they've got deep pop. So I think they can wait. And if they wait and do it right, you know, that's, I, I can't see. If you look at, you know, being, you say you're a betting man, something that's a surefire hit.

This is it. Nolan's doing bond for Amazon is it. That's a hit. It's a, it's a massive hit. And it will be, unless, you know, look, you always, you always do the, what if scenario, the unlikely what if, if the oddest bombs, right? Yeah. Yeah.

it's it's a possibility like anything sure unlikely possibility but it's a possibility um and it bombs and you go oh oh well maybe he really needs this we give him a shot he still have the benefit of the doubt even after one hit one miss like you know okay just it was uh ambitious what he tried to do it's not it's not going to be bad filmmaking you're like oh hey this guy doesn't know how to do a bond film no one's going to say that so if you can start right off the bat and you're going to you know really because what you allow yourself to do, if you can get a deal done, what I think you do if you're Amazon, is you try to get a deal done,

even when he's doing the honesty. You try to get the deal done to see if, you don't have to have him to start working on it, but you try to get the deal done. So your job as Amazon Studios is to start producing, we have a move, we have a Bond movie that we're going to kick off the franchise with, you know,

and it's going to be directed by Christopher Nolan. That is going to have, that's going to start to be in people's most anticipated list. People are going to be talking about it again. Bond's going to be in the, is going to be in the, the zeitgeist. It was going to be talking about James Bond again. And once it actually, once he's ready and once he starts pushing towards it, you're going to say, holy shit, here it comes.

Who's bond now? Who's doing yours? Yeah. Yeah. It's like I was kind of the buildup to the Odyssey. It's amazing how fast that came together. Yep. And how fast the cast, the sets are being built.

Great call. It was like, weird. It was like, wow, they're feeling. Oh, there's sets. Oh, they're building a whole city. Oh, they're on set location. Oh, there's a giant. battle happening already.

Like it feels like it was just like all the focus was Oppenheimer, Oppenheimer, even up towards the end of the year. And then it switched and went right into this. And like it was all ready to go. Like there was no like, oh, we're working on the story. Because he makes movies he wants to make. He makes movies he wants to make.

This is different than to saying, well, they hired Christopher Nolan to do James Bond, which essence is true. But he wants to do it. He wants, and they know that he wants to do it. He's been vocal about it. So they're like, oh my God, we have to follow up on this. It would be stupid for them.

Now, there's things. Christopher just might say, you know, I've decided that even though the offer is great and everything to you, I just don't really want to do it. And I just want to follow the path that I've been on. And that would suck for Amazon, but he has every right to do that if he wants to. But Amazon has to treat this like, if you look at like a sports team, there's a free agent out there that they can get. And all they have to do is spend that money that they have.

have in order to get them because it's going to benefit the franchise. You do what you have to do and you overspend. This is one of those times. I'm always critical on studios overspending on things. This is worth the overspend. You spend and you do whatever you want. As far as final cut goes, of course. Of course you give him final cut.

I think it was a big mistake by Broccoli not to give him final cut. Big mistake. I mean, I get with tradition, they never gave that to a director. I get it. They're kind of old school, you know, in the way that they think a lot. So yeah, but that's the reason they lost that they had to give up the rights. Yeah, yeah, you're right. So it'll be interesting, interesting times.

Well, guys, what do you make of it? You think that this is something that Nolan should do? I see there's some people who think that he should stick to doing what he was already doing, his original movies. Well, what say you guys? Put your thoughts in there.

So thank you for that.

Mike, we got another story just for you, buddy. You ready? Yeah, let's go for it. Let's do it. Okay. So now, Mission Impossible. Cruz's latest mission gets test screened. That's the start.

We're getting closer to summer movie season. The new report claims that Christopher McCquery's mission impossible, the final reckoning, had a test screening on March 1st, and the reactions so far have been troubling. Everyone hates this movie. I'm just kidding. So far, they've been very positive. World of Real claims that two slightly different cuts

were screened in different rooms that evening with both clocking in around three hours. or such. Three hours. Interesting. Pretty close to the 163-minute runtime of the prior entry, Dead Reckoning. The biplane sequence seen in the trailers are said to be the showstopper sequence and likely the one an audience member almost had a heart attack watching, according to Macquarie. Report also claims a small subplot in the film will include flashbacks of a younger Ethan Hunt. Dead Reckoning also had very brief flashbacks, but were seen from Ethan's point of view. Big cast. The final reckoning will be released in cinemas nationwide on May 23rd. Three hour movie, Mike. You got to be loving this story. I'm in. Are you kidding me?

I don't care how long. You don't care. I think for a movie that's supposedly the last chapter, so be it. Give me three hours. Go for it. You know, you and I saw that last one together and you were losing your mind over at night.

I was, I think it's a very good action movie. And I've watched it since, and I do think it's a very good movie. It's a very good movie. But it just is, it's similar to me in the way that it doesn't feel as clever as the previous Mission Impossible movies, right? I see what you're saying. Yeah. But it's a good movie.

And it's one of those movies, though, because it's so going to be tied into this one, that it could essentially become even better when tied to this movie in like, almost like one, June 1 and June 2. Yeah. So what do you make of this in the test screenings and are you excited about it? Because if you got, we got everything from the Superman test screenings right now or all the places. People who say it's the best movie of all times. People who say that it stinks, is people that say that it's decent. You got to see it for yourself, but the initial response from these people are, this

all seems positive. How are you feeling about it? I mean, I think like, you know, you never, I'm always very skeptical about test screenings. Yeah. I don't know. because they always take such a, it's not like they're taking film Twitter people that are highly critical of movies. They're just taking random sampling of people.

You know, some people have no attachment to the franchise. Other people you might love the franchise. So if they're coming out, you know, they always entertain. You know, you're never not entertained in an action, an mission impossible film. So, but, you know, it is my most anticipated movie of the year. so I'm trying to temper excitement, but that's not really going to be possible for me. Yeah, it's your most anticipated movie.

So, and that scene is, I saw your tweet when they released some of that scene, just what this guy does. And I think he said he's going to die for our entertainment someday. I know, I know. He's hanging, I mean, yes, he's connected by a cable. There's a safety wire there, but you're still hanging off of a plane upside down.

without a parachute. Well, do you think because you think because it's Tom Cruise and he knows that this is the last one, this is going to be like the biggest thing, even bigger than that, Dubai. Dubai is the biggest one, right? That's got to be the best.

It's tough because, like, yeah, but then I think about the one where he's hanging off the side of a plane. Still, I still think the Dubai one. Dubai to me is like because like if you fall off a plane, there's no, your brain's going to pass out. You're dead. your mind will shut off or something like from center of it.

But if you're on that building, I think you're seeing every floor you fall down. I know. You're going all the way down and like heart attack and pass out, but even either way. Like, yeah, but like I,

and I'm still torn. I know they're saying that the final reckoning, I have a feeling. I don't think he dies, but I think they make it seem like he dies. And he's still alive at the end. He's stupid if they, if they kill them off.

I think it'll leave like, it's a mission impossible movie. movie he'll he'll live somehow and yeah he can fake his own death or whatever or he goes goes off and does like the way christian bail at the end of the last batman you know just kind of yeah like i think it'll have something to do with the the entity that ai program where it's like the choice he has to make is he dies or the world dies or something and he outsmarts him and he potentially outsmarts the smartest ai in the world so i'm curious to how they're going to play that because and i'll probably go back and revisit that movie again because i've seen it

twice. So it wants with the US. I watched it once my wife at home. And I'll watch you get caught up on it again because those movies, and this is, and not insulting this, these movies or like the born movies, which are my favorites. They can blend in, you can lose, well, when did that happen? Did that happen in the fifth one or did that happen? The seventh one? I can't

remember. Same thing, like the born movies. Like those first three movies, I can't remember which moments happen. Yeah, I get it. Yeah, but so I'll probably go back and revisit it, but I'm pumped for it. And I wonder this is something, you know what, before we move on from this topic.

The thing that we both agree on is the release date for that last movie was stupid. I mean, I think if I remember correctly, they had committed to it first. Like they had the day planted. A week after. Yeah, it was like they lost.

And he was, you could tell they were pissed about losing IMAX to that. Right. But the release date of May was it 31st or 29th or something? That's fantastic. That's right. Yeah. So is in it. And do Do they have any competition that way? I would think maybe Jurassic World or Superman is that's not too big one.

That's July. I know. I can't think of anything in June. You know, let me see if you have, because in the summer really, your competition is that week and maybe the following week. Because after that, you're definitely going to get a big movie that is going to come out within two weeks. It's just how summer goes. So let's see.

I'm looking through the schedule here. It comes out on, you said, May, no, May 23rd, May 23rd. Oh, there you go. It's coming out with Lilo and Stitch live action, which different audience. The following week, you got karate kid legends, which I don't think it's going to be a major competitor, but it's, it'll take a little business, but not much. The following week after that is Ballerina, which is the John Wick one night call. I'm excited for that. You too.

That could take it a little bit, but it's not as. big as mission as possible the next how to train your dragon again different audience but still big wide release um 28 years later untitled warner brother's event film we still don't know what that is that's and then f1 so it'll it's got it doesn't have like a major major competitor it has people that will be picking at it yeah but if it's really good and people want to go back and see it's not it doesn't have like a barbenheimer that it's going up against so um oh derrick johnson's in here try to push you over Mike oh boy all right there come on buddy and try to push you over um so we right now are at 19 so you know you have about a hundred yeah you need you know

you need 169 so good luck anyway let's let's move on to this story about the rousseau's and let's talk about doom and how they're prepping you saw these leaks i assume i did yeah i sure did. Do you like them? Bulleaks? Like, I love concept art. So I'm kind of indifferent to it because I know usually it doesn't end up looking like that. And it's always just, you know,

and actually that's not even concept. That was like more what's called keyframe art, which is like the animators kind of what they would hope to see or what they could see or give you a tone idea. It's it like, I was talking a lot of people. I kind of think puts something out there thinking that I think they might have leaked that on purpose because of the dismal cap four reaction.

Maybe. Under Bolt's isn't really trending, very popular. You want people to get excited about this too. Two makers Joe and Anthony Russo are set to be occupied directing both the Ventures films for most of the next two years. Even though they have yet to shoot a frame for the film, the pair tells Collider this week. They already have runtimes in line for the two feature.

One says if we were a betting man, I would say the first one is two and a half hours. and the second one is three hours. That's about on par with what they did with the Infinity War and Endgame. That puts the films on par with Infinity War and Endgame. Well, there you go. Speaking with Games Radar, the pair adds that they aim to beat their younger selves with the hope. Both films will top their prior cinematic juggernauts.

Joe Rousseau says, absolutely, we want to beat those younger versions of ourselves. We have to be, right? Because we have to outdo those movies in a way, or at least we have to take you on an equally engaging journey. Anthony Russo says these movies are incredibly, is an incredible opportunity for us and they run an incredible opportunity for audiences. So we're doing what we can to deliver the experience for everyone, I think hopes for. No,

everyone, sorry, can deliver the experience that everyone I think hopes for. Pair also tells E.T. online that Robert D. Jr. has fully immersed himself in the role of Victor von Doom. He's writing backstory,

costume ideas. He just really loves rich, three-dimensional characters, and I think he sees a real opportunity here. The talk comes as all, sorts of rumors about the film stories have spread with the cosmic circus posting report suggesting that doom is trying to stop multiverse incursions and save his and others from collapse even if it means the destruction of the sacred timeline in the process okay so that's i think that that makes sense

the sacred timeline the one that we've been following forever is going to go bye-bye so the current mcc is the sacred timeline yes it's going to go bye-bye they're going to create a whole new time. Now, this medieval thing will last for as long as it does, but there's going to be a whole new timeline that is created by the end of this thing to essentially kind of reboot what, you know, they want to do now and they have, they have a way to do it. I think that that's what they're going to do. What do you think? I think seeing those pictures and what they presented in that, they've got a lot of ground to cover and they've got two more movies. I don't know, man. It's very hard to see this working. But this is why this is

going to be a reboot, dude, because this is their only way to do you. Oh, I know, but these two movies are still in what we're dealing with. Oh, I don't disagree with you. Like, right now, Thunderbolt's Inc. is not going to set this up. And then a little bit of Fantastic Four, like, a little bit of it. And then you jump right into the Avengers. There's been no set up instead, like that's what I'm saying.

No, I know. We don't even know who the Avengers are. A hundred percent. Who are they? I agree with it. I think a lot of people agree with you, but the thing is if the movie is good in that, I think that what Doomsday is going to do is set it up where, if you look at it like a television show,

you basically have two episodes to set up what your ultimate story is about, right? If you look at it, it's essentially a five episode mini-series if you're looking at a five-hour movie, right? So you've got a five-episode miniseries. You've got to, in those, in that five hours, you have to, in those first two and a half.

I mean, I guess it's almost closer to six hours. So almost, yeah, almost six episodes. So in those initial two episodes, you have to say, okay, listen, we are going to set it up, really tell you who Victor Von Doom is, what his plan is, what he's going to do, how he's going to do it, and then give you a big cliffhanger at the end of our, you know, third episode, and then the second half of the season is where all shit goes down. With that kind of time, you know, as far as time length and duration of a, of, movies, you can do more than you can do with two two hour movies.

Because I don't disagree with you that there's been not a lot of set up for it. But with that kind of time, you can set it up, but you've got to get right into it and you can't mess around. Yeah. It's still a, I mean, I guess that's why they did bring the Rousseau's in because if anyone can do it, it's down. You would hope so. And that is what we're going to see. And I think that it does, and it makes more sense, though, why, because, you know, the one conversation is like, why would they do this? Why don't they set it up a little bit?

And then just push Secret Wars and Doomsday after they set this stuff up, because I think they want to reboot this thing as fast as possible and say, okay, we just can, we try the multiverse thing. It's not working. We're going to, we're going to conclude it here. And then we're getting to the X-Men. We're going to keep on Fantastic Four. And that's going to be where we live for the next 10. years after that you know it's funny you say that because now thinking about it i think once they do reboot the timeline or whatever and into the next phase of whatever the mutant phase or whatever

that's essentially going to be what the 2000s were in marvel movies 100% spederroman fantastic four right the three the three big ones they couldn't get so the thores the guardians even to except the caps i think will be pushed to the to the side yeah it's interesting yeah And how they're going to use it. Because reading some of the leak stuff that of what happens, I guess in the comics and what they're planning to do with the battle world and all that stuff, it makes more sense to me of how you can bring back Chris Evans. Because I don't necessarily agree anymore if they are going with this storyline.

Because I know you made this point a few times of like, well, they're just getting nervous now and they're just, let's bring back greatest hits and just bring back Chris Evans and everybody else too. But if this is Victor von Doom basically saying, because you're looking at one picture and like Dr. Strange is like his right hand man. That's intriguing to me. That's fun for me. It is.

Yeah. Yeah, but reading the Secret Wars, if you read it, it's dense and it only works so well because there's so much that came before it that makes all these changes. So stark in contrast and what you're like, oh, God, I can't, wow, that's, oh, they're there, they're there. This is what happened to them where a lot of these characters were just, meeting for the first time in the past year or two. So I don't know, man.

It's, for me, it's a wait and see kind of thing. I got to wait and see what happens. Yeah, and I'm also wondering, because people were like, well, Doom's got to keep his mask on, right? And there's two arguments for it. If you have the studio, you're like, well, you better have Downey show in his face for paying him all this money. You better do that. But the other side of it is you hear his voice and he can do everything else soon. You see it sometimes.

if you're Downey, because sometimes with the ego of the actors, like, I want my face to be shown. Downy, I don't care. Downy's getting paid. Imagine how much you got paid to do Infinity War and endgame and how much he's getting paid to do this.

What do you do want me to do? I'll put a, I'll put a little shopping bag on my head. I don't care. I'm still, I'm still not sold on him as Doom, so. Right. It can't be, you cannot feel like he's Tony Stark because when not,

I love Downy. I love Downy, but when he, was revealed on that Comic-Con stage. He looked like Tony Stark playing Dr. Doom. Yeah. The sunglasses. I know he's a phenomenal actor.

I know it is. And they may, you know, but it's a, again, wait and see. Wait and see. And it's not too far away. That's the other thing of wait and see. Was it a year and a half away? Something like that yet.

I think we're supposed to get the, we're supposed to get the Secret Wars again, 2020 or, yeah, Secret Wars. No, Doomsday is 26. Yeah. And then so. It's like right around there should. Was it us that we're talking about this?

Like after Fantastic Four, is Doomsday the next movie? Yeah, that's what I'm saying. So they're going to have a year of nothing. I mean, I think Wonder Man will be in there. The TV show,

oh, that's a perfect shot. It's good. I think you're a good. I did it, didn't I? There we go. So I think you got Wonder Man,

Ironheart, but again, I don't think that's any good to tie to it. I don't know, man. I don't know. And again, it fantastic four hits like they think it does. And then we don't see these characters for a year. Without, you know, it's like.

It will, we'll sell. I don't know. We'll see. How do you guys feel? Do you think this is a smart move? Put your comments in there. Let us know whether it's a replay live. Tell us.

And if you want to throw in one of those questions at the end, talk about a little bit more, let us know as well. Before I move on to another one of these stories here, I guess it's still a story, but did you watch Daredevil, Boring it? I watched one episode. I didn't want to watch them both. I kind of want to paste them out. So I've seen three.

And I love this show. I love this show. Yeah. I love it. And the third one gets, I'm not going to spoil it for anybody, but it gets a little bit more procedural. Like it's more like a courtroom drama. And I think some people are going to be bored with that.

I found it, I found it a nice, a nice change. because it's not like you're not going to see Daredevil running around the joint, you know? Right. It's, I like where they're going with this, but you seem you didn't love it. It was a little jarring at first, especially the first 20 minutes of how they shot it. Oh, really? I love the way they shot it. Yeah, it just, I know they were trying to do the Warner that Daredevil always has, and it didn't work for me because it was a lot of, like in the past when they do it, the cuts blended seamlessly. And this was very much like, especially when they're in the ball.

and they're kind of pushing through the bar. It seemed like a lot of performers just waiting for their moment. And then they move. I didn't like a lot of the actors, the supporting cast, seemed very. Really? Like the Asian girl and black cop in the bar, it just didn't rewrite to me.

It was like. Wasn't she in the previous seasons as a DA or something? No, no. Those were new characters. But like for me, one of the things that was so great about the Netflix shows is the people felt like real people in New York. They were just so like, and I think they probably cast that out of New York. I'm going to assume that with this show, the location stuff was done on New York,

but I'll bet it was filmed at their studios in Atlanta. So I bet it's all Atlanta actors for those. I could be completely wrong. It just didn't, like, of course, Matt and Dinafrio came when they're together, it's gold. And I think it was a mistake doing what they did in the first five minutes, 10 minutes of the show. I think that's going to hurt them. I don't. Okay.

Yeah, why you do? We're on opposite side. Well, here's the thing. To me, it's like when you take a picture and you make a copy of it, it's still great, but it's not as good as the original. Sure. It blends in, but the one year later jump did good, but like someone made a comment, I totally agreed with this.

And it's a stupid comment. But like, I miss his old apartment with the neon lights come through. He's got this nice, I know he's a high tech lawyer. He's a high profile lawyer. He's got a better place now. You can't win. This is the conversation when you can't win. Because it's like what they were going to do to this show,

you were going to get the tone of like the Shee Hulk side of it. And they went, this tone is. And I get, I love the flipping the way that they handled his movement at the beginning of the show. I love that. I thought that looked great. I think him and the two of them together in the diner, that's, that was the great stuff about. Yeah.

That was the great stuff that was about season one through three. Yeah. So again, don't I didn't not like it I thought it was great it felt like it felt like a very nice continuation of what we got before yeah but I'm also I mean I was just a little jarred like I were the rules I suddenly where does I suddenly get a costume problem and I feel like you're gonna I feel like you're gonna like um episode three though because where they go I think I think you're gonna dig how they approach it I think I I do think there's gonna be a lot people who were just like

bored with the the legal aspect of it but that's what Matt Murrah is. It's what he does. Yeah, I... It doesn't bother me at all. Maybe I should have watched the two of them together. Yeah, you probably should. That was how it was intended.

That's why they released him. I forget that you didn't see the second one. The end of the second episode is great. It's great. But, like, he's, like, Downey and his Iron Man. Like, he's just so perfect in the role. I could watch him. I could watch him just doing courtroom stuff all the time.

Like, I just think he's so good at what he does. So, yeah, I do like the love interest girl that, that. Yeah, she's good. I love that dynamic. So, yeah, see the second one. See the second one. Then I'm curious what you think. Yeah, I probably watch it tonight because I'm digging it. Okay, we got, I think we'll do one or two more stories, then we'll get to the questions.

This is one, I've seen this movie. This is Mickey 17. It's looking for a 40 to 45 million global debut. Parasite and the host director, Bong Joon Ho, delivers his quirky sci-fi comedy, Mickey 17 on Friday and then tracking figures suggest the film is headed for 18 to 20 million start domestically according to deadline in addition to film is aiming for 20 to 25 million around 66 territories for a worldwide debut of 40 to 45 not bad for an R-rated art house movie that's proven quite difficult to market the main issue is the cost though the film cost a reported

budget around 118 out not including marketing and PA spending estimates are the film will need to earned $300 million at the global box office to break even. Ooh, that's going to be a tough, tough one. The film was originally opened in Bang's home country of South Korea, where it earned 6.6 over the weekend, the biggest debut of the year to date in that country. Reviews have been positive. The film is 85% from 103 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes.

The film is being both praised and criticized for its often widely veering tone, which can be summarized as Terry Gillen meets Kubrick meets dumb and dumber. Yeah, absolutely. Patinsons, it gives you a breakdown of it. Anyway, Bong was also, well, we also recently told the LA Times that he is not drawn to franchise films, but at one point he thought he liked to do an alien film before Riley adding alien a musical. Yeah, I think that this is the, this is the broken record conversation we have all of the time. You can see, I told when I said about this movie,

is a movie called Moon, which I thought this movie... Sam Rockwell, yeah. Yes, I thought it was going to be a similar movie to that when you look at the premise of it, but it does veer off in a very different direction, and it gets big, and I see where they spent the money. I see where they spent this money.

It's a very well-made movie. I mean, the guy's a brilliant director. And as I said, again, broken record. It's the most bizarre review that I've ever given, because it was more of these things where I don't necessarily like the direction of where the movie the story went right but i couldn't give it a rotten review because it's a brilliantly made film it's it takes big swings um it robert patinson is really good in it the performances are

really good in it it's it's it's it's cookee it's all this stuff but i just it it just didn't love um yeah and it is a hundred eighteen million dollars this movie will not make 300 million dollars it's too quirky, it's too weird. There's no world that this makes $300 million. Not here anyway. Right. Yeah, and this is, this is the film they've been sitting on for a while, too.

Yeah. Yeah. And I think this is probably one of the reasons why, because they just didn't know how to market it. It's like, it makes more sense now. It's not like, it's not one of these things of like, oh, this movie's so terrible. Where are we going to put it?

It's like this movie's so bizarre and weird. We spent this money on it. How the hell do we market this thing? Like, who's going to see this? Like, I can see where the problem. would be. It's like you're going to get the science fiction heads. You're going to get the film buff. So you can get those people out there to see it. You can get the Robert Pattinson stance to go out there and see it, right? But after that, in week two, uh, I know, now granted, it hasn't opened in a lot of territories.

The movie's going to make its money. If it makes the 300 million, it's going to have to do it overseas. Because if it's only going to do 18 or 20 here opening weekend, you're looking at maybe 10, if you're lucky, the second weekend here, you're really thinking. Look at you. You're thinking. Jesus, like, what the stuff. That's perfect. Yeah, you were deep in thought. I'm jigsita today. So, but let's see.

We do the same thing that we just did with those other movies, with Mission Impossible and see, the competition as far as, you know, big budget movies. Right. But it just seems like it's like, who is the audience for this film? I don't know the answer to that. That's the, that's a million dollar question, I guess.

I think I do know the answer. I think I said it. I think it's the science fiction heads. It's the film buffs. And it's right. Yeah, but like, let me look at Parasite. Like, I didn't want to, I think it wasn't on my radar at all until all the buzz happened. I was like, right?

I got to see this movie. And I thought was great. So, yeah, I mean. But you don't think the movie's great, though, right? You're like, no, I don't think. I don't think it's a great movie. I want to see how much what, how much was the parasite movie budget? 11 million.

That's, that's the big. That's the big. Jesus. That's the big difference. So when that movie, that movie is a massive hit when it's $11, $11 million and you get the kind of, you're right,

you're right. Now you're making $118 million movie. And that movie, this movie should have cost, it should have been more like Moon. And it should have cost 20 or 40 million dollars. Now you got to, you got to make too much money to me.

That's the problem. You can't. That's the thing with these directors, though, They get the praise that he deserves. But then it's not this, you know who I blame it on Mike? I blame him on the agents. It's the agents.

The agents are the reason. But they are. The agents are the reason why. You mean like the actors' agents and directors' agents? Everybody's agents. Yeah, the directors, the actors, because they say like, all right, listen, you want my client? My client just did this and this. We're not doing parasite numbers anymore.

We want the studio. We want $20 million. We want $20 million. And it balloons the freaking thing. We want this. We want that. We want to make sure that they have this in their trailer. We want to make sure that they have this.

Balloons the budget. And this is why we made that point about Nolan. Nolan can stay. Nolan's movies can stay on target and he's not overspending because everybody wants to be in them. So like, you don't want to be in a Nolan movie? We'll find somebody who's going to do it for scale. Yeah, I know. And not everybody has that.

Not everybody has that. It's sort of like, you know, you're going to spend your money on Nolan because no one is going to put back close to a billion dollars. If you're not making it. those commercial films. You ain't making a billion dollars. It's going to be hard to make $300 million. That's a big one. That's a big one. So that's that's 300 million. I mean, there's a good shot. It's not it's not outside the realm of possibility. I mean, word, word of mouth kicks it and you never know. I don't. I don't think they're going to go here. It's not

going to happen here. It's going to happen. It's going to happen. It's going to be other markets somewhere else. I can see that. Yeah. I don't know. There was some, there was some, there was some thing that came out on oh you know what this is the one I want to talk about and then then we'll move on. Robert Patton's the other day was time. Oh yeah. Sticking with Mickey 17. He's talking about Batman. And this is what he said about it. He was talking about being too old for the role at this point once it, once it finally happens.

And they're asking about you know, well, during Mickey 17. So I think it's relevant to the last story. Matt Reeves, the Batman hit cinemas, 2002 and the upcoming Batman part two will arrive in late 2027, five and a half years later. Yeah, sure. It has taken a long time for the project to come together, speculation, right, that filmmaker Matt Reeves has been dealing with personal issues that has delayed things, as did the WGA strikes. No one is more aware of the delays than the film star Robert Pattinson has been promoting Mickey 17 and it's

opening now, talking to Hero magazine. Pattinson was asked if he'd begin working on the Batman sequel soon. His response, I eff and hope so. I started out as young Batman, I'm going to be effing old Batman by the sequel. If filming kicks off towards years that is planned, Patton still will be 39. By the time he slips back on the cape, he was 33 when the first one was shot.

Christian Bale filmed his final Batman film at age 37. Batman Part 2 released in theaters on October 1st, 2007. I think he's getting, I think this is turning into Blade. Now, differently, differently, because they already shot one,

which is crazy because it's, obviously with the personal issues and other things. But even if you, you can't always take in context when you see something written of how Patinson said this, but you can interpret it that he's getting annoyed. Yeah, I think he's kind of making a joke about it. Yeah.

I mean, didn't he recently say, there we go, that's perfect. Didn't he say that he, Reeves told him the idea and he's excited about it? I think it was the last week. But I mean, hey, you just tell him an idea. Like, that to me is, see, I'm still thinking about it. If he's just told you an idea, it's like, wouldn't you show you the script?

So there's not even a script to show you? Like, I get a lot of flack when I talk, I don't want to say negatively about the Batman 2. And again, people that do that come at me, they clearly have no idea who I am. Right. Because I don't talk negative, doubt DC or Batman. It's just like, I had said it's like, I think this might be time to, end it. Like, if you can't get it, and it's going to be holding up the plans for the Batman, whoever he is in the DCU, it's like, at this point, I'm thinking, and again, if it's health reasons,

because I think Roxy was one who kind of might have mentioned that, like, that's a completely different Bolo act. Sure. But if it's just, hey, we can't crack the story. But even that's a, that's a, that's a thing to swallow. I think even with health reasons, you say, look, you'll, you have a job here, Matt, whenever, whenever you need it, you're brilliant director. We want, we're doing other things with Batman right now. And it's didn't, it didn't work out in the same way that like sometimes if there's something that happens with, again, a professional athlete. Someone gets sick.

Something that happens. It's just like, okay, when you come back, your spots here, you're, but we've, we've, we've still got to, we got to still move. We got to still move. Yeah. And Batman part to the guy, like I said, the guy's going to be 38, 39 years old by the time that they do it. You got to change the story too.

because you not you because you did the first one was the first one was batman year two yeah and now it's going to be like you're you're basically doing another batman movie the ones that we're used to he's got to be close as he as he was joking it's that i'm effing old batman now what it's like it is a batman that's been doing this for quite a while again he does robert patson doesn't look any different than he did five years ago really so it's like you could play him you could play him to where he's you know Or in his early 30s, mid-30s. It's not like we're doing like a stranger's thing where you wait five years and you've got completely different people

because they go through their aging. So I mean, but also you have to, at what point do you just go, wow, it's been five years. Like momentum is not there anymore. Well, you also need Batman in your DCU. Absolutely do. And especially if Superman delivers and especially Supergirl delivers and they want to have these,

and they're like, well, people are going to start saying, where's Batman? Who's our Batman? Batman. Is Batman going to appear in Clayface? You know, is he, and if so, like, are they going to, if, and if he does, if Batman appears in Clayface and you're like, oh, that's a great Batman. Where's his movie? Yeah. And they still haven't done the Batman part two. That movie can get overshadowed. It's just going to get overshadowed. And as much as people love it, it's like, it's, there's

only so much people are going to be like, okay, give it, give that to me. We want to see it. It's going to be, I don't know if 2027 is even going to happen. It's two years away, man. Jesus. I don't know if it's going to happen. But maybe it will. I hope it does. I hope it does.

Anyway, what do you guys think about this? Is the same question anytime we talk about the Batman? Is this something that should continue to happen? Should they just go with the DCU Batman at this point? Should they let Robert Pattinson go? Or they go, no matter what, stick it out, make sure that we get this guy. You got to do it. So put your thoughts in there, let me know.

All right. We're going to get to the questions in just a moment here. And before we do, I've been telling you all the week, we got great sponsors for you. And I got three more. I'll let you know. Here you go. Kickoff to me is super exciting in general because what I'm doing in my life. I'm looking to try to, I moved to New York for a reason, changing and I wanted to get out

L.A. Some people are like, oh, it's more expensive in New York. No, uh, not where I live. And I needed to do some stuff and prove for my family. So time passes and it passes kind of fast. for me, it's like, I remember, hell, man, I remember meeting John in college. I was 20 years ago, something like that. It just flies by.

And no matter how fast time flies by, it's never too late to make progress. If you're saving for a big purchase, whether it's a home, whether it's a car and you've got to build your credit fast, kickoff can help that. They are the number one credit building app in the app store and plans start at just $5 a month. There's no credit check. There's no hidden fees. There's no interest.

So for me, it was a matter of just building up that credit, making sure that, you know, when you want to try to get a loan for a house, man. That's what you got to do. So that's what I'm telling you for the credit goals for me. I want to make sure that I have good credit, paying off everything.

Okay, again, I've been hooking you guys up with deals. Make sure you capitalize in those deals. I put the links in the description for all of you, whether it's on YouTube or in the podcast feed or Spotify, all that stuff. So go and check it out. All right, Mike, you need right now, you're at 1. Well, you need 169.

So right now, currently, you're at 48 so you need about a hundred and is it 120 now 120 something like that to catch up

you're good you're muted so that's fine no no that I go I'm back buddy boy I'm back baby all right let's get to the so we have a bunch of questions and 40 currently and let's see if Mike can do it let's see if Mike can pull a step

Tom Hanks can I watch born again without the Netflix shows. I wouldn't. I'd try to watch it. Yeah. Yeah, because it's like there's, I mean, could you catch up with it and understand what's going on? Sure. Yeah, I'm trying to think like, they do a good job with Fisk in his past.

But Vanessa, you don't get the whole Vanessa and him thing. There's a lot of stuff you don't get like the emotional attachment to. If you don't watch those other ones, you won't, you won't really, you'll be like, oh, okay, I get it. But you won't. I'll say this. involved. You might be able to not watch season two

because that was all Electra in the hand and all that stuff and Madame Bo. So you might be able to, or Madam Gao, you might be able to do one and three. But two is my favorite. How many seasons of the Punisher were there? Two. So I've never

seen a season. I've never seen a season of the Punisher. I'll tell you this. What they're doing now, giving him that that Marvel special presentation show, that's what they should do. I don't think the Punisher is an episodic show. Like, but a two-hour special presentation, perfect. I can't remember.

I can't remember if I've seen season three of Daredevil. I can't remember. People keep telling me I haven't seen it. They're like, you haven't seen three. And I'm like, probably said as much. But I can't remember if I've seen three or not. Three's the one of mainly deals with the church and is the nun who I don't want to spoil if anyone hasn't seen it.

I can't remember. It's been so long. I can't remember. You started telling me about season one. I would probably wouldn't. I watched one and two. Like, I would rewatch those a lot. Three, I didn't watch a lot.

I didn't. It was great, but it wasn't as good as the first two to me. Who was that dude that we went to college with? He was in the theater school. John, shoot, he dated Emily. And he was, he played, he played Daredevil's father in season one. We went to school with him? Yeah.

Did we? Yeah. John, the hell was his last name. I don't, I didn't know. He must have been before my time. No. He was in the theater school with us, 100%. Yeah. I can't remember his name.

Someone will probably look it up and find out who Daredevil's father was, and you'll know and you'll know his name. There we go. Okay, perfect. You look good. All right. Next one here, I will say that I pulled one of my mom's, one of my mom's things there.

You know, that guy, Johnny, dated Emily. They went to school. They had a sandwich. You remember him. He had the curly hair. Remember? Simon section. Christian, I enjoyed watching your Daredeville Born Again reaction.

But episode two celery sticks? What's the deal with? I eat celery sticks. Please tell me there was something I don't remember. Like, people were talking about how, I'll explain the eating in the second. Are you reading celery sticks where you're watching it? I guess I was. I guess the editors kept that in there.

Please tell me there was some bourbon in that dipping sauce. I prefer to smoke the devil's lettuce. No, listen. This is the thing that I was telling you guys. I had to move the show because I had to focus on health, right? I had to focus on going to the gym, doing these things. And I've been, let's say it was my eighth day, going to the gym in two weeks, right? And I have to also, you know, I'm going to hold a health kick thing here, but diet is the most important thing.

It's why I told you about the deals that I just have been telling you about. But I have to eat every like two hours, you know, not necessarily, whether it's snacks or meals, whatever it is. And I had, I just got back from the gym when we did the show at 1.47 was when I got into the office. So I had to heat up some food. And then if I don't, you don't, you trust me on this. Because someone I saw, and it was a funny joke. Someone said, Kristen's always eating like Brad Pitt on, on the show. I was trying to, I was trying to hide it.

But I was like, I'm not, you know, it's, you would much rather me be doing that than to have a me that has not eaten that is doing this show. and I don't want that because I'll get myself in trouble. I've done in the past night eating and being sick and stuff too. You get hungry? You get hungry? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's a, it's a bad version of myself and it would be good for anybody.

So much rather people have to give me shit about eating. And the same thing with the cellar. I had the seller. I would rather, I'll take the unprofessional comments and stuff too because it's, you want that. You don't, you don't, again, you wouldn't like me when I'm, when I'm angry. Nathan Drake. Can we stop with the one long take gimmick?

No, I like it. Am I with you? You with me or you're with Nathan Drake? I'm with Nathan Drake. Okay. In my opinion, an opening scene of Daredevil was dark and hard to follow. Also, bad CGI for some of his movements.

I loved it. I absolutely loved it. I thought it was so great. I get, like, you felt, oh, they're trying to do a oneer. Yeah. You just felt it. Yeah. What's up?

And the emotion was there. Yeah, I get it. But again, if you watch it. it again there's like certain performers that look like they're waiting for their moment they're like oh now i got to move it just it just it didn't feel as organic as like the first one in the first season like that thing was just that hallway shot oh man yeah uh all right next one here king of the wicker people calling you out mike you said last week there's no way amazon would court nolan for bond how you like them apples just kidding i love you guys

what it shows you i know nothing did you say maybe Leave it. Wait, hold on. Last week, you said there was no way Amazon would court Nolan for Bond. Did I say that or did I say there's no way Nolan would do an Amazon Bond movie? I don't know. But I'm not going to die. If I said it, I said it because I'm like, I know nothing.

And that was only a week ago. And a week from next week, we could hear reports saying that Nolan doesn't like Amazon. He thinks they suck as a conglomerate and wants nothing to do with them. Right. Nerds Engage gave five memberships. Thank you, Nerds Engage, the best. A lot of great stuff, great time to be a member right now and a patron. We have, or a patron, I should say.

We have live streams that we do. We have Q&As we do monthly. PLD is going to be like, yeah, speaking of that, one of my dates. And then we have the raw reactions that we put up with me and Sam. We just put up our reaction for Spider-Man 3. Our reaction for Amazing Spider-Man drops tomorrow. and then Tuesday, Amazing Spider-Man 2. So we got a lot of stuff going on.

And I'm going to put the Spider-Man 2, Toby McGuire, Spider-Man 2, non-edited up on the channel and membership. I'm going to try to do that today. That's my goal. Go, pal. If Nolan does the next bond, what will be the, this will be,

Mike, I guess he's asking you this. If Nolan does the next bond, will that be the longest break since Dalton to Brasden, Inspector NTT, no time of die, given his Odyssey that still has to be made. Donald to Brasden was six years, so no time to die was 21 to,

if they can get it in 2027, it'll be the same amount of time. There's no way they're going to. It was six years. There's no way. There's no way. They're going to get to be the longest. Bless you.

It'll be, it'll be the long. I say 2028, so it'll be the longest. Yeah, yeah. But again, it's a whole new era for Bond. So maybe that's what it needs to do. Because I was sitting there for a while,

say, because people were asking me like, where's bond? And I was just like, maybe he just needs to lie for a lie dead for a lot. Well, so I agree with you, by the way.

I think that is absolutely going to benefit this franchise to take a break and wait. So I love watching silent Mike screaming at his dogs. All right. Mike Joyce, I see you arguing with the likes of Cotterred on Twitter, Mike, you for you page.

Your for you page must be awful support for Mike and this cute dog. I don't know. He's just one of those. I look at this person's page and it's like hundreds and hundreds of thousands of followers. I'm like, it's a political thing. Okay. Yeah, it's, but yeah, Mike, my page, I guess I don't understand how algorithms work, but it gets littered with political things right now.

So you get engaged in it. That's why. Chris, listen, Felt. What's up, fellas? My dream Bond film would be Nolan director Zimmer Scorer. That'd be great. Starring Hittleston Bond, Killion Murphy, Villain, and Robert Dane Jr. as Felix Leiter. What do you think about that? Well, here's the thing, too, and it comes with Nolan. And again, I don't fault this at all.

He loves working with the same people. Yeah. And then it's, you know, we get the, The, oh, Christ. I jinxed it today, didn't. My internet hadn't been this bad in a very long time. So I jinxed and I apologize for that. Awesome.

So I don't know. You're going to see all the usual suspects in this film, if it's a Nolan film. But a lot of his people are so well known. And Bond never really goes that route. You know, they, I don't know. That's another thing that's part for the package you're going to have to deal with. So we'll see. Go, pal.

that said, I'd love to see Nolan's take. I think that's the thing that I'm like I mentioned. Right, yeah. Yeah, I'm just excited to see what he would do with the James Bond movie. Kyle Wilson, if Nolan makes Bond, who does he cast his bond? Matt Damon or Matt Damon. Can I get a hey buddy boy, Mike? Hey, buddy boy.

I was just going to say that. I guarantee you'd be Felix Leiter as Matt Damon as Felix Leiter, which was the Jeffrey Wright role, the CIA agent. Oh, yeah. That's what it would be. And again, he'd be great. in it but for fuck sake fuck off

fuck off internet fuck off today fuck off fuck off fucking AT&T bullshit the best Sean McCabe if Amazon gives Bond

the same treatment as Jack Ryan I'm happy I've had a great time with the Spider-Man 3 reaction Mike always good to see it pal you the Spider-Man 3 one was good we had some good jokes in that one was it was fun

I used that was the one that she kind of remembered yeah she remembered It was the only one she had seen. Right. So she remembered it when parts of it. She still forgot a lot of it because she would be watching it in the background while her son was watching. She was younger. But it's a there are things, but we, we now got it getting, we finished the amazing Spider-Man.

We did one and two. So that's, that's going to be fun for the audience to see. And then we're going to get too far from home, which will be next week also. So I'm glad you liked this, Sean. Thank you so much. Okay, let's see. Next one. I've got 55. Right now, Mike, 55. You've got a low.

Even not up in the world. You know, Jefferson. Still about 115. Uh, Zuch Fleming. Hey, guys, hope all is great. What's your most underrated football movie? For me, it's either the replacements or the program, program for me.

The program is one of my favorite sports movies of all time. Any given Sunday. That's a good one, too. Yeah. Ziki says fart. Thank you, Ziki. Appreciate that. Zicki follows it up.

Do you think will return as will there, do you think we'll return will, do you think there will be a return? Jesus. You read that. Go ahead. Do you think we'll return as Julian McMahon as Dr. Dumbrian in Secret Wars?

Right. So it's, he missed. I think he might say, do you think Julian McMahon will return? Okay, so he missed the word. See, I can. Do you think we will see a return as Julian McMahon as the Dr. Doom Baron and Secret War?

What do you think freezing internet McGillacutty? I hope to God we don't see any variants of anyone. Robert Dyn Jr. is already a variant, so who knows? Who knows? What do I know? Red Jack, have we ever had a younger James Bond that was early on in the double O program? I'd love to see them go with someone like Tom Glenn Carney for a long time.

Who's the youngest bond? Oh, God. Well, Daniel Craig was only 36 when he got the part. Is he the youngest? It was probably him. Wow. Was he only 36? Yeah.

That's true. Don't age that well. Are you sure? Dude, I swear to God. I swear to God. Maybe you're right. Look it up. Check me out.

I don't check you out. Check it out. Check me out. Ziki, I hope we see Steele eventually in the new DCU. Is that the, the Shaq Steel? Well, that's the character. Sure. You know what?

You want to talk about people. People with celebrities and whatnot, like people like The Rock. To me, Shaq is one of my favorite celebrities. That's great. I could not care. I couldn't care less about him in his sports career. But watching him as a celebrity, living his life, you know, owning 50 million McDonald's or whatever his businesses are. Yeah, he's great.

I love watching that man. I love Shaq. And I like his approach where he's just, he's not one of these kind of stuck up celebrities. He's like, he's humble. I bought this. I bought that. Yeah. He's like, he takes pictures of people.

He does and he's like, because it is, this is, this, someone comes up to me and I make, I'm going to make their day. I want to make their day. I like, I like Shaq. I like Shaq, I like Shaq a lot. Thank you, Derek. Derris coming in with some heavy support here, Mike, trying to push you over the limit, get you closer.

Look at that. To work both DJ and Roxy did on Tuesday. But was it, was it, was a Roxy by herself? No, DJ Woolridge was on. Oh. So R.J. McReady. Invincible is the greatest comic book show on TV boys. People love this show.

You watch it? I watched a couple episodes of season one. I like the comic, but I wasn't like a favorite of mine, so I haven't watched it. Winston likes it. But I watched a couple of the first like three or four episodes on, and I liked it, but not enough to keep going back. El Baba Yaga. How you all feel about Tom Cruise being classed to play Jackie Chan about his life and stunts in his time overseas? he says he's going full

tropic thunder. I don't think that's going to happen. Go for it. Yeah. Go for it. Ziki, follow it up. Hey, man. Thank you. Hey, Christian. The second anniversary of my eldest brother is coming up on the 13th. Been struggling for the last month. Do you have any advice? I'm so grateful for my current brother so much and I love him. Well, first of all, I'm very sorry for your loss.

That's horrible. It's horrible. And as I tell everybody who's this, and as a friend said this to me, it's the worst club in the world to be in. It really is. And the only thing that I can tell you is that it doesn't ever, it gets better, but it never goes away and you don't want it to. So just, you know, remember, let that, don't, don't push aside the pain.

Don't do that. Don't try to bottle it down because I did that and got myself in trouble for doing that. So don't do that. And make sure that you talk to people and make sure you should do exactly what you just did here. Ask people for advice. conversations. And again, I'm so sorry for that's, that's really, it's, it's very, very tough. Sorry for you and your family that you went through that. He follows it up. Predators from 2010 is severely underrated. Ellis just tweeted me this after Adrian Brody won the Oscar. He's like,

remember, Predators rules, the beginning of Predators and the fact they use the music. The movie it's forgettable. And I'm glad you liked it, though. I like Craveport. Predators was more appreciated in the geek community. I'm not a big fan of it. For me, it was, oh, for fuck. Say, fuck you. Wait, let me see. Hold on. Fuck you. Asshole. Fuck you, internet.

You're an asshole. Oh, yeah. Come on, Mike. Okay. You're frozen, you bitch. Look at you. You twitch. You're moving and you're frozen and I know it'll stick.

Oh, yeah. Mike, look at me. Look at my balls. Put it in your mouth. Why you're listening to LaRos. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, good.

Oh, good. Um, I like that movie, actually, but I think the biggest problem is the fact that they're on this alien world and it looked like Hawaii. Yeah. They didn't do anything except like I think they made like a couple big planets in the background. Like if you're going to be on a foreign world, make it, make it some alien world. Yeah. Um, all right. Snyder.

I can't hear you. That's great. You can't hear me. That's great. Yes, I'm talking. You're so dumb. Chris, that would happen.

It's amazing. You're lucky you're a good-looking guy because you're really dumb. You're a dumb person. And everybody knows it. We don't like to tell you to your face. But, and, you know,

you might as well to stick your finger in your nose and look real stupid while you do it. But your internet gives me the gift of joy every week. Do you understand that? It gives me the gift of joy because it freezes and then you shut your sound off to where you can't hear me and I can say whatever I want to you. I love it so much.

it's the best. And you just sit there and you just stare. You have no idea what I'm saying to you right now. It is so good. And I love the fact that you're just contemplating. Yeah, well, what you should be doing is signing out.

You should be signing out right now and coming back in because it's work. This has happened four times in that you've not picked up on it. And this is why, like, now you're going to freeze again. It's just the best. You just give so many gifts. You're just frozen and the internet hates your guts.

The internet hates you. You understand this? It hates your guts. And you're still, you're just sitting there. You know, you've done this five times before. You could easily jump out, come back in, and this problem would be solved. But instead, you're just staring at your, there you go. Finally, you figured it out. That's great. I really love that. I really love that so much. He's going to be coming back in now. Oh, it's the best. I love it. He said his internet was working good.

Well, not this time. Not this time. I love that. We're going to wait for him to come back. But man, that internet really just hates his guts. Hates his guts. But I love his internet. I don't ever wanted to change. There's times that I want to send Brett over there to get it all fixed up and help him out. But I'm not doing that anymore.

What's up, buddy? You got it? You're okay now? Yeah, you had to bring in big ball. I couldn't hear you. No. It's all right. Well, it's fine because when you're on, all I was doing was saying very kind things about you while you're on.

And look, you're frozen. I miss Roxy. So good. You jinxed it so bad. You jinxed it so bad. So fucking bad. You jinxed it so bad. It was the problem.

I need to start the show in a shitty mood. I need to start the show with everything going wrong. The lawnmowers, the dogs. Look at this shit. I love it. I can't wait for AT&T to like. hey your bill's raising five dollars a month and i'm gonna fucking unload you can't be can't go anywhere right i can you just change i heard spectrum's fucking worse that that's like the two in our area at

t and t inspecting's garbage oh it's absolutely absolutely hilarious i got that five i want fiber but it's not in my area i had spectrum when i was in l.a and it was fine it was fine for what but um let me see let me get back we lost some of the let me make sure i get all the questions here i think you lost about 50 questions so make sure you get off a few of those no we got them um okay so now ewalk nolan likes to work with familiar faces bond age british actors he's worked with are tom glan karnie jack loudin harry styles robert patinson arin taylor johnson tom holland and cosmo jarvis i mean you're probably definitely gonna see a bunch you if you put tom holland as james bond he won't do that he's no i know but he's good at casting he's good at casting he's good at casting he's i i don't

Taylor Johnson, I do like that. He was one of the ones that was named pre this Amazon deal that I was like, that can be on board with. Well, Ewak says that Jeff Snyder says that Jack Loudon will likely get the role. Who's Jack Loudon? I have no idea.

Let me say Jack. Wow. Let me see if I'm a record. I don't know who that is. Do I know him? Hmm. It looks like a, it looks bondish. I don't know. I don't know Jack Loudon. Doesn't mean that you should. What's he been in of Nolan's? What's he been in of Nolan's?

Cher. She's Roman, run in his husband. I don't know. I don't know. Not sure. I don't remember him. So Derek Johnson, support. Thank you, Derek. Alex, Mike, I also worked in Disney World in the 2000s. As you probably remember, we could not escape Stitch. I feel Lilow and Stitch box office is going to be massive. How do you think it will do? I don't know. Because those live action or animated live action are always hit or miss with Disney.

But I feel like we haven't had a Lilo and Stitch thing in a while. Yeah, but my girlfriend loves Lilo and Stitch. It's going to do well because it's, they have confidence in it. Clearly, they're putting in the summertime, and I always tell you, do not underestimate the power of families. Like, there is not a lot of stuff for families to watch during the summertime, and they are going to market the hell out of this for families. And families will go and show up for this one, because if there was, let's see, there was a Lilo and Stitch, where is, because that's coming out right around the same time as Mission Impossible, I think, right? Yeah, they said like the section. Maybe first week of June.

You got, you guys, same day. As where we were talking about was Mission Impossible, you got nothing. No competition really low and stitch until, I mean, how to train your dragon a month later. So, right. So that's, that it's kind of. Start of the summer for schools out. So yeah. Yeah, it's going to crush.

Ziki, hey Mike, do you have any recommendations for DC comics? He used to love comics a lot, but I got back into them. since Deadpool and Wolverine. Yeah, DC do the ultimate, absolute that's right now. It's Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman. So it's easy to kind of jump on board. You're not lost with a lot of continuity errors,

but they do enough different stuff, but this core of the character is still there, so they're really good to read. And they're only on, I think, issue five of each of them right now, so you're not far behind at all. Shelf presence and credit for Fantastic Four. TV agents all down at TVA portal, close the screen,

showing Tony's sacrifice. A shadow figure stands in front of cells with variant offenders. Jooms turns and says, assemble. I mean, I don't know. Those, it's like, I mean, I'm just thinking of the Captain, Cap 4 teaser.

That's that confused the mainstream audience, though, if you do something. I know, he's like, there's other people out there, and you're, like, what? People don't, people won't really know what that means. Like, you know, we would, you know, you will, but, but a lot of people don't. Darth Vader's burnt asshole.

Christian, I think you're over thinking Robert Donnie Jr. She's Comic Con Reveal. Pretty sure it was just meant as a hey look. I'm back. Oh, I agree. No, no, no. I don't think that that's how it's going to look. I'm just telling you that they cannot do that because no matter, I don't disagree at all.

Yeah. I agree with you that it was meant as a hey, look, I'm back. I agree 100%. But the reason why Tony Stark worked so well with Robert Dan & Jr., because Robert Daniel Jr., essentially could be Tony Stark. Look like him. He walks around and dresses like him anyway. right so he looks like it felt like it so when he popped out there again hey i'm back it still

felt like tony stark not a costume or look reveal i didn't think that it was you'd be very clear about that i didn't think that it was i'm with mike i like dare double i didn't love it fair enough yeah yeah um i love it so i saw someone said the pacing was slow it's like it's an and or conversation for me when it comes to pacing like like i don't i don't think the pacing was no at all it's like that to me it's an involvement everybody wants boom boom popcorn going everywhere would boom yeah yeah yeah It's like it's like come on like let it let it marinate Let the show's marinate everybody wants like fast pace go go go and it's like it's the TikTok generation man I like it's like let's let's marinate in this shit

NLSFC 96 I think Brendan Scornaro from 1920s he should be the next bond Nah he's he's Batman he's Batman yeah that dude I'm telling you after Especially after seeing 1923 second season that dude's Batman man. Go pal. My only criticism of Daredevil was a couple things in the open action scene. It felt like not great CGI or a video game. Yeah. I'm so shocked.

This is one I thought everyone was going to. I thought everybody was going to be one of those universal kind of just loved things. I'm so shocked that there's that there's pushback on this show. Yeah. Yeah. And yet I am not. I just think because the first three seasons are so beloved. Yeah, maybe so.

You got a high bar. You got a high bar. bar you're trying to change. And not, you know, Netflix. I'm sure that people don't want to, don't want to give it too much love. Darth Vader's burnt asshole. Daredevil feels more like J.J. Star Wars was. Feels like a pale imitation.

Yeah, I disagree. I couldn't disagree with that statement more. So I saw a Collider say that too. I think that is, I respect your opinion, but I couldn't disagree with it more. Couldn't disagree with more. It doesn't feel like an imitation at all to me. It felt similarly to Deadpool.

Yeah, I just disagree with it. Go pal. Fun fact, the love interest in Deer Devil played Mother Coral in the Accolite. Really? I know her from Revenge with Emily Van Camp and that Lake Bell show. Mother Coral, let me see. Is it the one that I said? Are we talking?

Let me see. Oh, my God. She is. She's the one. She's the one that did the one that wasn't, I didn't think was great. She's great in Daredevil. She's great. Is it his partner?

office partner or the girl she he gets set of the date with one set of the set the date with um let me see there you go so they chose you just the material or a director makes it's her she is it is her wow she's fantastic in daredevil and i thought i didn't think she was good at all in the acoly i was even there was a couple times i laughed at some of the same and i maybe was this maybe like you said mike i think if you look at it like the stuff in star war some of the lines she was having say it's like yeah as an actor you just you can't work with you don't know what this is i think it was the direction and what and what she was given that because she is i've seen like again the three episodes she's great in daredevil she's great i love her she's well like i know i mentioned

the acting some of the actors i didn't care for in the first episode but she was one i love she was great and she's really really good um in the show and yeah that's what a great i'm so glad that you told me that go pal because like now that's that goes to show like it's all about material and that's when someone asked me that question who's someone that initially you didn't think they were a great actor and then you know i think she's great so that's that's great news uh chris listen felt from mike when you work with explosives it's dangerous said bond i don't know oh boy you got me here chris when you work with explosives well saul's probably going to send me a text and get upset with you now again um cupcake bliss if nolan directs the next bond film take my money

that's going to be you and a lot of people a lot of people are going to be feeling that um it's going to do very very well okay so kyle wilson thank you der kyle wilson i would love to hear hans zimmer's bond theme oh he's done it though he did no time i die yeah he's done bond before um and it was really good he plays at his concerts he did a great great score for that movie yeah yeah he plays it he plays at concerts Cupcake Bliss, I'm going to be heartbroken again if Gunn acts as Batman, too. This is really the only thing that's keeping me continue to be invested in DCU, but it's not part of the DCU.

Here's the thing. I don't think Gunn would be the one to ax it. No, I don't think he. I think he would have to come out and say this because he's the head. Right. It would be a collective decision. Yeah, I think he's given Matt Reeves all the slack he needs right now. He's like, yeah, go make your movie.

He has been. He has been. There's only so long you can do it, though. Anthony M-72. Oscar should have brought back Pascino to present. Pascino. Oh, my God. Picino, Al-Picino.

Al-Picino. You know, good old Al-Picino. Hey, can't get my name right. Come on. Oh, Pacino. Oh, God. Take a dunk of a phone. Hey, come on.

We can go spend some money at the Pascino. Pacino doing that presenting would have been great. I'm like, you're not doing too bad right now. You're 75, buddy. You need less than 100 now. than 100 okay all right uh let's see the Cino fuck is wrong me Kyle Wilson you all get tired of answering the same question twice no because you can you can always you can always present it away and revisit the the the question so

no and I like I like to hear myself talk so yes you do Zikshinck thank you Derek some more support there thank you Derek Kyle coming back up here that's really good Well done. Well done. You'll get tired to answer the same question. Well done. Derek Johnson, Thornitz, but I liked what you did there. You set us up and then you punched us right in the jaw. I like it.

Sydney. Yep. Hey guys, what are your alternate director picks that would excite you to, your interest to direct the next Bond? Enjoyed your Bond book, by the way, Mike. Thanks, buddy. Thank you. I think that what is going to happen, though, depending on who it is.

Like we mentioned, if Tarantino does, a Bond film, it's Tarantino's Bond. If Nolan does a Bond film, it's Nolan's Bond, right? Who else can you think of that it's not like, the next Bond movie's going to be directed by, as opposed to, you know, their movie. So I don't really know.

I would like to see Matthew Vaughn do a Bond movie. Kingsman. That's his Bond movie. You know what I think? How much. Yeah. George Miller. That'd be good. I'd like to see him try Bond. Yeah.

Mirjam, Serenity Moon. Thank you, Mike, for giving me the giggles. There you go, Mike. Giggle-Gagel-Centry. Go, pal. I haven't seen the program in forever. I love that movie back in college. It's a fantastic movie.

Fantastic. Okay. And Rob M. Lassanti, with the passing of Gene Hackman, what are you guys top movies by him? Hoosiers? Hoosiers. Enemy of the state? Yeah, unforgiven.

I mean Superman. He's great in the firm. Great in the firm. Yeah. Those are really good movies I think of in general. Andy Bergdorf from Mike's Internet. There you go. It's been nice to him lately.

Go pal. Connery was born in 1930, so he was 32 in Dr. Now. There you go. Youngest Bond. Connery was. First and youngest. Kyle Wilson,

Nolan's Bond will feature Jeff Bezos as the villain. They'd be hilarious that they did something like that. I mean, yeah, yeah. That'd be really great. Okay. Andrew Kravoka. Hey, Christian, are you checking out SpaceX launched Starship tonight? Probably not.

I have, I got to, we're prepping and doing a bunch of things at the family tonight. So I don't know, but I'll keep up on it and see what the, what the word is. But now we're not going to be watching it. Um, H.A. Theatrical release. If Nolan does a Bond movie. Absolutely. He won't, he won't, he won't, he won't agree.

Unless he won't. No way. There's no world where he would. Okay. Let's say. Next one is go pal. I think M taking his burrata implies he was very new to the 00 section, like it jammed on his first mission. So they made him switch to the Walther.

Oh, it was for Dr. No. He made him trade that Walter for the Walter. Yeah. Nathan Drake. What sort of curse words were exchanged between you and Guy during that backstage brawl? We didn't have a brawl, but it was, I love hearing juicy. shmo down behind the sea stories. I mean, who knows? I'm sure they were definitely F-bombs.

Definitely face-to-face yelling, screaming at each other. Do you remember? I don't know if you were there. Were you there during the Five Horseman reveal? The Five Horse? Yes. Oh, yeah. You were there during that one? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, right, because that was, well, no. Yeah, okay, you were definitely. I was involved in anything, but I was there.

You were there? Because, like, were you downstairs? Remember that because they had that at that theater? They had, like, downstairs big kind of green room, everyone hung out of? Yeah. Yeah. Do you there when, when Guy and I were like, screaming at each other in each other's faces right after that because he was so mad about the blown call was it it was but it was in it wasn't in character it was real oh no like a real yeah yeah it was i know i i i think i was in the audience i think didn't they have a balcony

i think so i think it was up with the balcony that that was no that was uh that was the the one we used to the free-for-all at uh the balcony yeah it's the globe no the there wasn't a balcony at this place there was all but i was in the audience watching it happened Yeah, okay. Let's see, next one. And we are going to get to Mike Joyce. Mike needs better internet for Fiverr slash Starlink Fund. There you go. Really got to get you. I'll be quiet. I've had enough of this nonsense. Go away. Let's see. Next one. Idiot. Let's see. Mike Joyce, although we'll miss the hilarity that ensues. Yeah, with the internet, it's the best. absolute best. Okay. Oh, stupid asshole.

I look my Oscar pin and go stick your head up your asshole and smell your own intestines. Ziki, new Malonglo. Love you, Mike. There you go. And then, Oh. Ziki. Absolute Batman is so damn good.

It is. It really is. Really good. Nerds engage. Erase completely Bond or Mission Impossible films. Mike, you're going to say Mission Impossible, right? Oh, Jesus. Yeah.

Erase completely. Completely. I mean, just because Bond's legacy is 60 years. So, yeah, I guess I have to reach mission impossible. That's a bullshit. Yeah, right now. Sean McCabe, support from Mike's internet. Had a good chuckler reading Secret Wars.

Keep hearing Bruland's voice when I was reading Thanos's dialogue. It's pretty hard not to. Is he, is, is Thanos part of Secret Wars? Oh, I believe so. I could be wrong. I haven't read it in very long time. I mean, you just said it was, but I realized it. So Nathan Drake, when's Mike going to host?

Oh, you kidding me? He wouldn't be able to host the show. It just, his internet won't let him host the show. Go pal. To be clear, I love both episodes of Daredevil. A little bit of CGI was the only thing that bugged me. That's fair. And then to which Armada said, the CGI fell a bit off in the Daredevil first step.

I didn't see that. El Babiaga. Mike, look into Nighthawk, Wi-Fi Extender. It helps a lot. As a gamer, I use it, and it helps so much. I have spectrum 150 300 range get a real good one I'm gonna send this to you I'm gonna send you this I just I just did a screenshot of me what you said up to me I'm gonna send you or just write down what they just told you there because you need this

all right a cupcake bliss dear devil is similar to Netflix in terms of look and feel based on the first two episodes however is not penguin level good I think I got spoiled from the penguin it's yeah it penguins a different level there's no that about it, but that's a once in a lifetime show that the penguin. Got a whole bunch of Emmys and everything's too. I'm just so, this is what, this is what gets me about fandom

in general. What gets you? I can't wait to hear this. When you look at some of these shows that we've got from Marvel, whether it's secret invasion and, you know, She Hulk and a lot of this, some of this other shit that they put out, right? And then you get something like this

and you're complaining about, you know, some CGI or some, you know, some, or some or you know the fact that it's slower paced it's like it's a good it's a it's a well-made show it's a good show compared to some of this crap that we've been getting lately all right chris listen fell explosives quote is from the indiana jones stunt show did you even work on that show mike oh god hey johnny can you you're our explosives expert you give us something to all the audience a little bit about explosives when you work with explosives it's dangerous the best man in the business there you go yeah yeah okay you got me Simon section

Don't do it motherfucker Simon section Christian doctor do Iron man mask or not the only thing that matters to me is his Let very an accent does it sound like Tony Stark European and then there's his mannerisms is he hand-on or metal yeah I mean they really have to establish him as somebody else they really do King of the Wicker people. If Nolan directs Bond, which secondary villain would fit his film? Or should he just created something new entirely? And yes, Mike, you did say that.

I think it should be odd job. I think someone new. Someone new. Nerves Engage. A Tarantino written by, directed by who? What do you mean? Oh, Tarantino and written by him. I would think.

I think he's asking this similar to what like true romance and natural born killers and things of that nature. Who would you want to see director, Scott Derrickson. I'd like to see director Tarantino written a movie. That'd be a good one. Okay, let's say next one here. And that would be Zeus Fleming. I'd love to see Amazon make an M16 series that accompanies, MI6 series that accompanies in new Bond movies.

You had to see how they did that, right? What? You would have to see how they did that before you signed on to it. Yeah, I think you're saying MI6 is in like the intelligence agency in England and not MI6. Yeah, I mean, someone had said, I think our last chat last week where they said a double O series, focus on the double O agents. I think that would get my interest. Yeah. NLS FC96.

Can you see Denial a new director? to Bond film. Yeah. I also think Chris McCarrey would be another good pick. Yeah, both those would be really good. He'd be great, but I don't think he would. No. Let's see. Okay. Next one, and that is from Ziki. Daredeville Board of a Board of Against writing was

so impeccable. I agree. I really like it. Derek throwing his work. No. The writing was pretty damn good. Okay. Well, that was it for now, anyway. Well, Derek's throwing another one. If they want to keep us on, they will. If not, we're going to wrap up with 87, Mike. So not bad, though.

87 any other day at 87 that's pretty freaking good it's just roxy roxy's firing off on a whole another level right now um all right mike what do you got what do you got going on did don't ask a question don't said she asked the question where is don't's question don't be cheaping me on questions harlough no chris listen felt bond director wish list nolan villanouc McCrory bradbert matthew bond what do you think mike when you should talk about that real quick and i'll do this. I think, well, Nolan, yes. Of course, Villeneuve. Yeah, McQuary, I don't think so because he's done the Mission Impossible films. Brad Bird, yeah, Vaughn, he's done his Kingsman. But again, any of these directors would be, are great directors. And I think if they have a story that they love and they

want to tell, I would, I would love to see. Yeah, I'm, I'm, I'm really curious if they're going, how they're going to do, um, the announcements of, if they don't get Nolan. I know. Yeah. What they're going to, how they're going to follow this up. Uh, yeah. I'm not seeing any questions from Don. I'm looking, but, oh, yeah, I see it. I see it.

Dawn. What's up? Mike, what, uh, says, what's your thoughts about Bond, the Bond tribute at the Oscars? I think it was pretty funny that they showed never say never again, which wasn't an Eon production of Bond film. That was the, the Connery one that they did the same year as Octopussy. I'm surprised they didn't bring out anybody who's played Bond. Yeah.

It sucks. There's been a few chances where they've been able to have all the bonds together, but for one reason or another, someone didn't want to do it, which is kind of disappointing now that, you know, Roger Moore's gone. Right. So it can't happen now.

Derek, some of it's more. Zeus Fleming. Mike, what's a comic that got you into comics? Ooh, geez, that's a good one. The 1980s, the early Secret Wars, I just, as a kid looking at it, you know, I didn't really take to the, reading of it like the reading wasn't what brought me in it was just kind of the cool covers going to

the comic shop there was an issue of teen titans that was really cool too that back at that age it was all about the art and not too much the reading for me or the story okay and let's see so Sean Christian I hope you had a good one yesterday did it was nice to you know I still worked obviously but I wanted to needed that two hours to try to put things together and get some some things done and and we did so and we got we also Sam and I recorded Amazing Spider-Man 2, so we got that done

because we're getting everything done, so it's been great. And then I guess, so there's another one here that's he said, I guess there's Superman screening so there's a new article about the Superman stuff and I, at this point when this comes out, I'm just waiting for that movie because it says everybody, it stinks, it's the best movie of all

time, I don't know. Tatt Ronan, 91-1. If there was any director you could choose who no one is mentioning to direct bond, who would it be? Oh, me. Uh, I mean, I think you guys just said it. I'm going with my George Miller one. George Miller's great.

I think Denise is a great pick, too. I'd love to see what he would do. And then Kyle Wilson, Christian, have you caught up on severance yet? No, not yet. I started it. And then what happened? My wife came down stairs and we started watching 1923. She doesn't watch the show.

So I'm going to, I want to finish it up myself. That's it. Mike, where can it be? at Mike Kellanowski. It's simple as that. It's pretty easy. Thank you guys for sure for being here today. I really appreciate it.
