All right, everybody, how's it going? Happy Friday. It's Capes and Cal's Big Thing. It's the first big thing show where we haven't had a Marvel show to talk about. Well, that's fine. That's not true. I mean, recently, I think. It's true. But we do have Black Adam to talk about. Man, that's coming out. That's coming out this weekend. How much is it going to make? What's going to do is big rumors.

Big rumors. A lot of reports that Henry Cavill is coming back to the MCU. Yeah, right. That'd be interesting. Coming back to the D.C. universe. and a lot of people saying that the rock is the reason why. Rumors swirling that it's going to be Man of Steel 2. So a lot of rumors. Also rumors that, as you saw in the title of this, that Ezra Miller is indeed going to be replaced after the Flash comes out.

So we'll talk about that. Lupina Nyungo talking about Black Panther. Ask that age-old question. Is Marvel our comic book movies art? She answered that question. Sasha Baron Cohen, rumored to play Mephisto. Yes, I got it right. And I got it right the first time I did it too, I promise.

Nobody knew. You rat it on yourself. Well, I didn't say anything. You just said it. You just said it. You said the first time. Well, who knows that there was a first time? Maybe inside my head.

What do you know about it? Who are you? The voice of God is now talking. And it's just here. Abolian freedom. Yeah, and it's the same voice that was playing Dragon's Lair and kept getting murdered by the same lady over and over again. So, we're excited to have you back.

a lot we're going to talk about because there is a lot in the in the realm of comic movies. And of course, we're going to be talking about our Boom Studios segment last week. You guys really liked it. We're bringing it back. We're going to talk about the comics that are coming out this week. Some berserker stuff. I know Koi is very excited to talk about that. So we'll talk about that and more on this episode of Big Thing, Caps and Cows.

Winston A. Marshall, there he is. What's up, man? What's up? How you doing? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Not correct. No, no, I'm fine, man.

I just, you know, everybody's always happy about gameful employment and I'm working on something right now. I just, I'm just tired. I hear you. Because I'm essentially stepping in for somebody that's dealing with a family emergency. And so that just meant that all this work came. And again, happy to do it. it, but you just, I need more sleep.

Hey, get some kids and then talk to me about it. So, hey, listen, this is going to be fun. We got a lot to talk about here. We have, I mean, there's so much, we should just get right into this, this news. Because this is, I was very proud of myself today. I'll tell you that. Because Koi comes in, and I told Koi news that he didn't know about. And I was excited about that, because that never happened.

And that's, yeah, brand new to me. So let's get right into this thing. This is a report from a comicbookmovie.com. and it says the Flash Warner Brothers is rumored to be eyeing 1917 star George McKay, which I love that movie, and I loved him in it, to replace Ezra Miller as Barry Allen. Now we're taking this rumor with a pinch of salt right now. I like that they said pinch not green.

It's like they give it respect, but they still got to be careful. But there are rumblings online that Warner Brothers is looking to cast 1917 star George McKay as the fastest man alive following the Flash movie. The Flash star, Ezra Miller, may have claimed that they're seeking help after a series of shocking and damaging accusations, but it's becoming clear that isn't enough for many people. What we've heard about this alleged behavior is simply too big of a swallow,

particularly if you're a DC comics fan. Miller was always a device of choice to play Barry Allen, though their appearance in Suicide Squad and Justice League suggested they had potential as the Scarlet Speister. There's unsurprisingly a very real lack of interest in seeing the Atricake Center stage in the Flash, all things considered. Now with them currently facing decades behind bars

in a felony burglary trial, burglary trial, it is obvious. Warner Brothers needs to move on for Miller. The fastest man alive should be recast, and there are rumblings online that the studio is zeroing in on 1917 star George McKay. The actor would be a phenomenal choice to replace Miller and is far more in line with a comic book version of The Flash.

McKay received widespread critical acclaim for his work in Sam Mendi's Oscar-winning movie, and he since starred in the likes of Munich, The Edge of War, The Trick, and I Came By. Munich. Wasn't Munich since started? Wouldn't Munich way before that? Well, Munich, the edge of war. Oh, it seems like it must be a sequel or something. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Or just a different telling of the story.

Sure. How Warner Brothers would go about recasting Miller is hard to say. It could likely be done with little fanfare at the end of the flash. They did recently report set for reshoot. So when the DC extended universe is reset, the controversial actress take and the hero could have a new face until more reliable sources weigh in with their take. It's best not to get too exciting. Okay. So there's a lot here. I don't want to know where this report kind of comes from, right? Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. So, man, he looks surprised that he's about to be. Yeah, he's like, I'm going to be the Flash. Yeah, he's a really good actor.

He is. No, no, no, he really, really is. I'm just saying the photo that they chose for the article. He's like, wait, me? The Flash? Barry Allen? Right. But I do agree with the article saying he's much more comic book accurate.

Like, as talented as Ezra Miller is, there's a sardonicness that is more Wally West. Whereas Barry Allen's more altruistic and sincere and noble. And like the guy is one of the most optimistic characters in comic books. And I feel like McKay has this presence of like classic, innocent naivete without being too overly earnest. I think, I think it works. I like the choice. I mean, I appreciate that they're doing this. If they are doing it.

If they are. both one, Ezra is facing potentially two and a half decades behind bars. Not good for a franchise. Not really. You know, everybody might, I know Superman's not supposed to age, but, you know, Henry Cavill will probably age out by then. What's going to happen is he's going to start playing his dad. They're going to start playing his dad because he's in prison. Yes.

And that's going to have, they're going to zoom in to Ezra in prison. Absolutely. You clever fart. He's going to take over Billy Crudderf's role. But I, the other part of it. honestly is just from the standpoint of I believe in second chances. I believe in people getting

the opportunity to make up for stuff like that. But it's too much. Well, it's not even just that. I also believe in order to do that you need to face the consequences of your actions. And I think that allowing to continue to be the face of a multi-million dollar franchise after everything you've done, nah.

I agree with you. And I absolutely agree. I think that you hope they get help. You hope that it doesn't happen again. You hope that they're able to turn it around. Do I think that Ezra Miller is going to get the maximum? No. No. Not at all. But any time served is going to be, you know, not really feasible. No, it's not going to be feasible. But even to be honest, it's not going to be a slap on the wrist. It's too public. No, but it's going to be something, it's going to be, I don't think he's going to,

they're going to do any jail time at all. Really? No, I don't. I think that there'll be some, you know, consequences. But that being said, I think it's, it's going to be, I think they've already made the decision. Cannot do it. I think that whoever was cast as flash, I agree with this report. I bet it's a post-credit scene, which we'll talk about a little bit because there's post-credit scenes that were apparently shot a couple months ago on movies and DC is already starting to do that kind of stuff.

So I think, yeah, I think that this is, I think this, whether or not it's this kid or not, Ezra Miller ain't coming back. And I think the reshoots they recently did with Ezra Miller was, probably something setting this up. Like, I'm wondering if they were even cool with it, right? Like, I don't know how much... You ain't getting paid if you're not. Well, yeah, we also don't know how much they're invested in this anymore.

Remember this, though, the way that certain deals are made, right? I'm assuming, because remember how involved Ezra Miller was to get in this thing made? Yeah. And how... Because Ezra Miller at one point, like, this Flash movie isn't going to happen. And it was Ezra Miller who said, we've got a script. We're going to make it happen. So they're instrument.

Right. You get it moving again. And I keep hearing it's incredible. So they were right about. But here's the thing. Inside of that, that's the case, inside of that contract,

you better bet your ass that Ezra Miller is going to get some points on it when it comes out in the theater, how it does, money-wise. So if it behooves, and that Ezra Miller is also out there making the announcement. Yeah. Of I'm sorry because it behooves Ezra Miller that this movie comes out in the theater. So Ezra Miller can make,

cash and do it because that's if if it doesn't come out you ain't making cash so there's so basically one brother says hey listen you're going to shoot this scene we're going to put so and so in there and you're going to play nice or you ain't going to see a penny for this time well i mean when you also consider the fact that this runs the risk of ezra never working again you better get as much money out of this as you possibly can there is a very high probability that they will never work again, based off of all of this drama, even if they do read- Or independent films down the line or streaming films, not big budget movies with cats.

Not studios. But like you look at like, you know, Robert Donnie Jr., for example, like he eventually got back to where he's the superstar that he is, but it definitely was step by step back into it. And it was a full rehab of his image and all that. You know how that happened, though, too? Is that the-Favro and Ironman, right? 100%.

Favro's a black kiss, kiss, bang, too. Yeah, well, well, yes, but that movie was different. because it was a smaller movie. I was there during that time. Oh, that's right. And Warner Brothers was not pushing that movie, did not push that movie at all. It's just some small thing. They didn't put any marketing into it.

It didn't do very well. Because you were at Silver, right? So you were directly involved in that one. I went to the premiere and everything. Went to Shane Black's house afterwards, right? So, but, and I was, I was upset because the Warner Brothers did, they didn't put anything on that movie. And that was 2005.

So Downey is not the star that he is today. I don't know. So putting him in a movie like that, it's like, okay. he's not a box office draw, whatever. We don't have to insure. And Joel and Downey were tight, so they made sense. Paramount, which was where Marvel was, didn't want anything to do with Downing.

They didn't want to insure it. They didn't want it because that's Downey who was going through these personal demons of addiction, right? And it wasn't like these criminal charges. Mine is like the stuff for drugs, but it was self-sabotage by anything else. He wasn't openly trying to go out and hurt other people or whatever. Ezra Miller might be accused of. Yeah. So they didn't want to insure him.

Favre had to fight for it. Right. Other people had to fight for it. His wife had to fight for it. I think he was his girlfriend at the time. But Susan Downey, and they fought for it, and they fought for it, and they fought for it, and they got it. And he kept himself clean, but it was still one of these things of like, this is a massive, massive risk. That's why I agree with.

That's why I agree with, like, redemption, right? Like, you do need to give people an opportunity, but there's also a, a, a line in the sand where self-harm and certain things that are endangering yourself before others is one thing. But some of the alleged things that Ezra has done is a different story. So I do think there needs to be a cause and effect that is why I'm wondering if there's jail time, why I'm wondering what comes to this, because there's video. Like there's video on TikTok, then like threatening fans and the way they've interacted with society doesn't feel like safe right now. So if there's reform over the course of, you know, maybe rehab or time or whatever, I'd love to see them come

better. I just, I am, I think the thing that's so interesting about this, and I'm not, I know everybody always loves to get at me, be like, you always bring race to it. But, but truthfully, I think one of the things that was, like, really shocking for me is just, like, a black person in the industry is that, like, if I do one thing wrong, that's a rap, homie. Like, that, there is no, there is no coming back from that period. So it's one of those situations where dude's super rich, dude has been an A-listor for a minute for him, for they to continue, to be in the news for nonsense and feel like nothing was coming, again, I want Ezra to get well and I want Ezra to be able to be... But there should be consequences. Also, agreed. And also, everything has to be there to where it's proven, right?

So, I mean, like, what I will say is, let's say someone like, Will Smith. Will Smith will come back. Will Smith will be in big blockbuster movies again. There's no doubt. people I don't think not everybody is ready to forgive yet there are a lot of people who are right there are a lot of people who are like not to it's too soon as I'm in a year guarantee roll this tape back in you know two or three years when Will Smith is opening big blockbuster movies again it is a guarantee it'll happen because that is enough time that people will will forgive at that point I think so I also think you got to look at the the the crime and the punishment man well that's what I'm saying the difference is the thing the thing is when you look at the thing is when you look at the thing is when you look at the thing is when you look at look at the Ezra Miller stuff, when you look at it, it seems, it seems really bad. We still don't know, like, what's the, what is all, I'm not saying there isn't proof.

There's clearly proof, but it's like, what is the actual proof? What is it? And when that's presented in the case and all that stuff, we'll know more. With Will Smith, it's like, what's the proof? Well, he slapped the guy in the face. On, like, international. We know the entirety of the journey. We know everything that happens.

So that's, so right there, that's just like, okay, that everybody can know, well, we don't know if he did it. We do. Sure. But with Ezra Miller, it's like, we know that there's, Something really shady going on and bad. Yeah. But what is it?

And I hope that that's, I agree with you. When we get to this trial, whatever it might be, if there's something that maybe, maybe Ezra Miller says, okay, look, there's enough evidence or his attorney said there's enough evidence. Plea. You gotta do something. But either way. Either way we're going to get the things brought to public and we're going to see what it all is.

Yes, and either way you're getting a new flash. Yeah. Either way, and I think, and the story itself, I do think George McKay is a great choice. It's a good choice. Right, right. Yeah, but it's all relevant, but yes, it's true. Like, George McKay or somebody else is, I hope that this is true. I hope that this, I don't know where it comes from.

I mean, comic book movie is even saying, take it with a pinch of salt, as they say. I don't know where it comes from. They didn't list it as far as me. I think maybe there was someone had heard something or whatever it might be. And I'm never going to be someone who says, like, ah, it comes over really, unless it's a website that is in Torsi just making things up. But if it's a smaller site that might have contact, it's very possible. That's why I thought, like, one of, and I, and I, I don't, I don't do this anymore, but I have to.

There was a really stupid thing that came out, like last week after Jeff Snyder reported that, we should probably talk about this too. Harrison Ford replacing, um, Thunder, uh, replacing the late great William Hurdus Thunderbolt Ross. And Snyder broke that. Every network was like, exclusive. And like, no, Snyder. It was, I think it was, I can't, there was one particular thing that there was one, yes, there was Holly Reporter.

I can't remember who did it, who said the exclusive. That was one thing. But then this one guy, I can't remember. I can't remember what the hell, where he was. And it was a prominent magazine. And he's like, well, this is a, take it from his obscure podcast, blah, blah, blah, blah, who take this with whatever it might be. It's like, it's Jeff Snyder guy.

The guy's been working for variety, Hollywood reporter, all of things. He is not a guy who just makes up stuff. He is like a really good reporter. He might have a lot of personality. But as a reporter, but as a reporter, he's not reporting stuff unless he's got it. And he's been reporting it. So do your research. Don't be just be a stupid ass and go,

well, I don't know what this show is. I'm an elitist fart bag. And it's like, don't, don't do that. No, no, I agree with you.

I think, I think the problem is everybody's gotten real cynical. Yeah, because people, everybody on the internet and the other problem. But do your research. It's just, oh,

I don't disagree with you. Because the other problem is, did they specifically mention, like, yeah, he's like, it comes from this obscure show with, uh,

whatever, uh, for, um, the hot mic with, with John Roka and just, okay, Got it. And it's like, do your research.

The guy's been around for like 10 years, 15 years. No, no, no, no. That is fair. I guess, you know, how sometimes you feel like you're playing telephone. So maybe you didn't know the original source was Jeff. And so, but if they mentioned that it was him, then. But again, what kind of reporter are if you just, oh, I mean, I don't disagree. If I can't even get manifesto's name of Mepisto.

Manifisto. If I can't get his name right. And I can tell you that I know, oh, I didn't know that it came from Roka show until I found it like the other. I was reading a report. I didn't realize that. That's cool. Someone accurately gave them.

credit and that's how I found out about that's no no I get it you just know how the internet is a giant trash bonfire so like sometimes it is hard to find the source of stuff but I get you and sometimes sometimes it's really hard to find um good coffee but not anymore trade trade coffee we got it and I'm going to talk about too what I did I made sure that this time when uh when the peeps came over that I gave him a cup delicious it's so good we at right now is hazelnut honey berries familial pixato from Brazil is what I have right now And it's, it's, it's, when he walked in here, it smelled like a family coffee shop. It smells so good.

The first thing I said when I walked in. It's great. And we're so excited to it. Brett and I were talking about it too, that, you know what we're going to do? We're going to set up this. I purposely bought this little, because we have, I've used the, the pods and everything to you in the past. And I've had an expressor machine, but I wanted to get something that I could brew.

And I got this. And man, I'm so glad that I did. And I'm so glad that I'm, I'm with trade coffee. You guys didn't know what it was. Are you guys familiar with trade coffee? I have not. Now you are. So trade coffee for what it is.

It's a coffee subscription service. And it's simple for you guys to discover new coffees and make your best coffee at home every day. No fancy equipment required. Like I said, just did the pot, done. It was delicious. And going to a coffee shop, it's awesome. Everybody loves going to a coffee shop. But you don't do it every day.

You can't. It's pricing. And if you're looking for that delicious, local coffee shop taste on a daily basis, is a lot easier to do it. You do it with trade coffee. What they do is they partner with the nation's top-rated independent roasters, and they send you coffee that you know that you're going to love. They send it fresh to your house, and they do it on your preferred schedule,

and you get to support small local businesses, and that's a win-win. That's the coolest part. I like that. I like that a lot. And so, again, we have this coffee that we got from Brazil, and it's made from hazelnuts, honey, it's berries. It's really good. It smells delicious, and it tastes delicious.

I'm really, I'm fired up with it. I was so. So excited to try it the other day. We did it. I love it. So, I was trying the other, the dark roast, but I like, I like this one. I really like this one. So whether you're getting started as a coffee of aficionado looking to discover something new, trade, it guarantees that you're going to love your first bag or hear about, here's this.

They're going to give you a new one for free. And that's pretty great. Yep. And I'm, I'm going to probably have another one. So I just, I love it. We do a mid-coffee break. I think I'm going to do it as well. So anyway, check it out. Trade is offering our listeners.

As you know, we have the T-shirt store, we have the Patreon, we have all the stuff that you guys, and for people who have gotten stuff on the Amazon list, all that, and people have asked, like, how can I help, how can I help the show? Whether you put a like and a comment, that helps.

With a podcast, Spotify, one of the fun things about the sponsorship, though, is not only do you help the show, you're helping yourself, right? If you're a coffee fan and you love coffee and you're going out to the store and you go to your supermarket, get this, it helps me, it helps you, it helps them, it helps everybody. And it's delicious. I mean, go ahead, Coy. Okay, so I drink about seven cups of coffee today. Yeah, that makes sense. And it's the only way I do as much as I do. People are like, how do you do so much? It's coffee. But coffee over time, especially living in L.A., has added this, like, strange soapiness. There's like a lot of really cheap coffee that has almost a a soapiness to it because I love how much you're loving this question.

Oh, I'm invested. This good people is like a richness and a sweet earnestness, much like George McKay at the Flash that I really enjoy and the energy will also make me much like George McKay in the Flash. So I'm very ready for everyone that complains that they watch every other podcast at two times speed are about to be watching this at half speed because frankly this sponsor is made for me. It really is. When I thought it, and that's why I want to make sure you had a cup when you walked in today. I also got stuck in traffic and then had to find parking like way far away. And I love that like these guys are good enough friends. Are like, make sure he has coffee first before we talk to him. And look, and I've been saying it for a while. We wanted a coffee

sponsor for a bit because I'm a avid coffee drinker. And I love that, that idea of the local coffee mom and pop shops and the fact that it smells like that. Smelling like that in here is a great ambios. It's great, man. It's great. This might be the first sponsor outside of Joy Mode that Kristen is going to be like geeking out about. Awesome.

because you want to get $30, you want to $30. $30.00. Tell me what flavor you get, and then maybe you can bring some in. Oh, I like that idea. And you bring it in when you. I like this crowd sourcing flavors.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. That's how it will sound real soon, you guys. All right. So this guy, this guy. Oh, I'm so excited about this guy. All right. So I'm, I'm curious about this guy. I do love Sasha Baron Cohen.

For people who are listening to all you. What are you talking about this guy? Sasha Baron Cohen is rumored to play Mephisto. Is he joining the MCU? Well, this one is from, where the hell is this? This is from deadline. Speculation is growing, or who knows if it's from deadline. Could be from somebody else.

That's not true. I don't know if deadline was open. Well, it says the deadline. No, but I can't remember. What Koi was saying before. I can't remember who was deadline or Hollywood reporter. Someone said it was an exclusive report and the way they tried to take it from I want to say it was Boris Kit.

No? Okay, because I dig that too's right. It wasn't, Boris didn't do that. He broke something big this week that I was excited. Yeah, yeah, but it wasn't. Okay. Boris didn't do that. Okay.

Uncaptioned. Speculation is growing that Sasha Baron Cohen has entered the Marvel Cinematic Universe with a role in Marvel Studios, upcoming Disney Plus series Ironheart as a comic book villain. A source close to the production, confirmed to the deadline, that there is talk on the set about Cohen being part of Ironheart, likely playing Mephisto. He has also been spotted at the Marvel facilities located at UK's Pinewood Studios, Reps for Marvel and Cohen have refused to comment on any Cohen involvement in Ironheart or the larger MCU. Like with any Marvel characters, word is that Cohen would appear in other projects. If the Mephisto alter ego is confirmed, that could include the upcoming Wanavision spin-off, Agatha,

Coven of Chaos, as Mephisto had a presence but was never shown on the Praise Mothership series starring Elizabeth Olson. Word of Cohen's potential Marvel investments start spreading on social media this weekend with multiple comic-focus, Twitter accounts reported on the room. Murf Cohen's casting as a villain, with attention ultimately focusing on Mephisto as the lead theory for his role. It's a six-episode Ironheart created by Chinaka Hodge, stars Dominique Thorne as Marvel characters Riri Williams, a genius inventor and creative of the most advanced suit of armor since Iron Man. Previously announced cast also includes Anthony Ramos.

Is Anthony Ramos from a winter soldier? No, he's from in the Heights and, um... No, no, no, no, but he's saying from Falcon and the Winter Soldier, the dude that took the wings, right? No, that's, that's something Ramirez.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. Shea Klee and Zoe Takas. Danny. Danny. You're right. You're right. Stop that.

Word of Cohen's likely MCU casting comes on the heels of Deadline story about Harrison. Deadline story. Oh, there it is. It is not deadline story. So this story's right. It was not your story.

Deadline, eat a bag of shit. It's not your stories. I hate that shit. You're the thieves. taking on the role, so let me reword that. Word of Cohen's likely MCU casting comes on the heels of Jeff Snyder's story about Harrison Ford taking on the role of General Thaddeus Thunderbolt Ross and Captain American New World Order.

Best known for his docucomedy movies, most notably the hit Borat Franchise. Cohen also is nominated for Aaron Sorkman's the trial of Chicago 7. Bro, that's so trash that they did that? They did that all the time. Deadline does it all the time. There's like people I know that you'll send them like a, meme or something and they go, Dain, that's hilarious. And the next thing you know they

tweeted out like they came up with it. Like, what are you doing? So that happened recently and this was not, I'm not, and Sunny and Kat who I love, it was not, they didn't do this on purpose. So my buddy Brian Monarch is a, is a comedian. And did you see the thing going around where Arnold was deep faked over. So good. My friend did that. Yeah. And I shared your

tweet because it credited him. So right. So someone, not Sunny and Kat, so someone stole it and then Sunny Sunni Kat saw it. And then they retweet. They didn't even put his name on it. Not Sonny Cat, the other people. They just put it out there. And Brian was like, what the hell, man? He does these all the time. Him and Joe Goddett, who does it. And I will humbly say this. Kills my Arnold's.

Really? Dude, this guy's Arnold is out of control. Wow. I almost want to play a little bit of it. Like, Joe Goddett's Arnold is the best Arnold, I think, ever. Yeah. Well, either way, I just, I think the thing that's so frustrating about, like, I even saw that yesterday, I was just on TikTok, and I did a TikTok way long ago.

Sorry. That's fine. Play it. If it's ready. Yeah. I'll just count of time. Oh, this guy's great. Yeah, he's really, he's really, his name.

Joe Goddette. And he, so he's the one who does it with Brian. So let me make sure that I, that I have it so everybody can hear it because I want to give Joe the credit. He's really good. Oh, I'd love to get him on this show. So here, this is Joe Goddett's Arnold. And so I'm sure you guys can hear.

Okay. stupidest one yet. And now something Arnold Schwarzenegger would never say, but I'll say it because I can do his voice. Well, listen, they wanted to welcome you all to the new Terminator 2 Italian cuisine-inspired restaurant, and it's called Pastele de vista. And if you noticed, all of the restrooms are equipped with the state-of-the-art Dyson hand-dryers. But now, this are not the regular hand-driars. It's actually Miles Bennett Dyson. He stands over the sink when you wash your hands, you put your hands in front of Dyson, and he goes, and the restaurant

explodes. I mean, there's not the ways about it. The restaurant can only be open one day, because Miles Dyson ruins it and Cyber Dine explodes. You remember the movie, but it is a fantastic idea, right? Dude, that was incredible, and I was reading

the comment of that accent. He goes, was that auto tune? Because I noticed your tune change. That's cult. He goes, bro, you're on a witch hunt that that is my voice i'm a voice actor i'm a voice actor just do any research on on joe and he does it he's he's he's incredible he's incredible bro that's that's that's crazy yeah he also does a good run redwoods too if memory he does he does a bunch of different people but so joe josh robert thompson and uh and jimmy costa are the best that that for me yeah the three of them

they're so they're so good and then also there's another guy that i just found out about recently that my buddy Adam Ray had on his show that everybody knows about now, but it's the same guy who does, he does like a spot on Howard Stern. Have you heard this guy? Yeah, I've seen on TikTok. I discovered your buddy by,

he was like sitting in Ryan Reynolds' trailer doing an impression that it panned over to Ryan, like Larry again. Oh, yes, I was really impressed. To be up front, my buddy is Brian who works with Joe. Got it. Joe just started, we just started following each other. I've had two conversations with Joe.

It was because I shared this stuff, but I'd love to have Joe on the show. But anyway, that all comes from, giving credit where credit is due. Do you think you would mind? I can't do Arnold, so I'm not going to do that. But that's actually a really funny idea. I might do that same shit with Barack, though.

That actually would be things Barack would never say. Oh, yeah. That's definitely the marketing. That's super funny. That's what TikTok's for. All I was saying, the thing was piss me off. I did a TikTok where it was like, if your dick made a sound when it got hard, what would it be?

And I put the THX sound behind it and just had this shit-eating grin. And then all of a sudden I saw this And someone did it And completely took me out of it Took all the audio I saw that on deadline Yeah yeah Right after they spoiled the end of Eternals

They posted your And it wasn't you It's that same guy It's just so lame that they did that But anyway let's get to the actual story itself The story Oh there's a new story That's right

Yeah The story of Sasha Beringham playing Okay So here's what I got to talk to you guys about Because I don't know enough about it Right So my first fear. And I will preface this by saying, Sasha Baron Cohen is a phenomenal actor. He really is.

As he said, he's been nominated for drama roles and he's been in stuff where he's great. But you right away, worried about Ali G. Borat. You think about comedy. See, I think he wants this because it wouldn't be comedy. To me, to me, actually, him being cast reads as a more serious Mifisto, because automatically he doesn't want to always be bored at. If he does something as big as the Marvel Cinematic Universe, I doubt he'd want any comedic elements in it. But I hope he's Sorry, not any. I doubt he'd want too many because Mephisto has an impishness. He's got, you know, he's the devil.

And Catherine Hahn, but Catherine Hahn is also community actors. That's the perfect line. And Catherine Hahn balanced it both from, it wasn't a goofy role? No, that's what I see, is, you know, malicious, like, you know, nefarious comedy. And I think he can nail that. Plus, his bone struck. Not to come at you, Christian, but you're too old to have been like a big, like Powerpuff Girls fan, right? No, I watched it last night.

I thought it was great. Oh, okay, great. I like the most recent episode, and I think that the one with Gary Busey is my favorite. I say that. We just acknowledge the not to come at you. You're too old. It literally was like the next.

I know, I just know it's right outside of generation. So I say that because one of the big Powerpuff guy. Oh, dude, that was my jam back at him. Mojo, Jojo. So I was going to bring up him. So him is specifically making fun of Mephisto. Right.

And it's this idea that prior to. the reveal that oh crap it's actually mephisto a lot of times it is like the like one one more day like it's this little girl that like peter's talking to and then it turns out actually it's me me mephisto this would have been your child because i could like he's he's the devil so so what does he do it what the devil would do he's after souls he's after making deals that like so would make sense that he pops up in that it is part of the reason why they were so sure that mefisto wasn't going to happen in Marvel because there's such a strong rule in China about not depicting the devil. But we're learning more and more that like we don't need the Chinese market as much.

And that's what I think this is. I was more interested in the ramifications of being like, we're going to do this even if China doesn't want us to. And I think using Mephisto and Ironheart is really interesting because I think this is how the hood gets his powers. Yes. That's probably what they're going to do. Right. Like I can totally see it being a deal with the people who don't know what that.

So the hood is Matt Ramos. Anthony Ramos. Matt Ramos is a, let's go. He's back. He's back. I love. I like that kid. Oh, he's a sweet kid.

He literally just turned 21 and he gets so much crap. He's a nice kid. He's just so excited. Oh, dude, Mike and him on Twitter, man. I'm like bros. Mike's like that grouchy old man. I'm shaking a stick. I rarely think of Mike as old man yells at cloud

until there's like the occasional reference or Matt Ramos. I get a kick out of it. Oh, it's so interesting. Because I've known soups for years, so I didn't know Mike had this thing. Anyway, shout out to Mike Alnowski and soups feud on. But I do think It's a one-way fute. It's a one-way fute. Stop riding your bike so fast down the street.

You seem happy about things you love. But the top gun guy. This coffee is kicking in. The top-gun guy? But I think Anthony Ramos is going to play the hood in the movie. And in the comics, The Hood is a character that basically is a two-bit criminal that gets an all-powerful cloak. that he's able to do magic with,

and his guns become magic, and he, kind of like if the cloak of levitation imbued powers into you. You're going to need to get that from somewhere. And it's demonic in the comic books. Cut out the middleman, just go Mephisto,

and then that's going to tie into the occult we're getting with World Wolf by night, with the eventual ghost rider with all these things. I think it makes sense to start this certainly. I agree. I completely agree. And, you know, I think what I'm most excited about,

I know people hate one more day. I know that people genuinely do not like that story, but the number of times Mephisto comes in and just has more philosophical kind of storylines that I really, like, get excited about. I am excited that they are going to be introducing this character because there are so many storylines. The only thing that would have been more interesting

is if we had been closer to the actual, like, infinity gauntlet kind of saga, if Mephisto had shown up in that regard, because there's the level of, like, Mephisto trying to stay on Thanos's good side in that regard. Also, have you heard the, I mean, Obviously, we've got Kang coming, and there's been some Wonder Man rumors, my boy, yeah, yeah. But I also think it's really interesting that we're getting the on-camera stuff like She-Hulk and Wonder Man and those things. But also, if you look at the Disney Plus shows, we've got the Field of Reeds in Moon Night. We've got the, you know, Asgardian Valky World of the Undead.

We've also got the veil in Miss Marvel. How many afterlives do we have? Now we bring in Mephisto. What if those are realms after you die? That was the one thing that was- Because we talked about that. That was the one thing that was also interesting is that they didn't show hella. in her realm. Right.

Because that is a whole other afterlife that she was... I think we're getting into this other side of reality. And what would be more interesting than maybe someone making a deal with the devil to bring back Iron Desert? Or bring back Steve Rogers. Is that how it plays also into... I know that we're delaying it now, but with Blade, is that how we started to get into supernatural? Yeah, so I think we're going to use...

I mean, if I had my way... I mean, there's a lot of... I don't think it's a coincidence that Werewolf by Night came out and did gangbusters, and then Blade got moved. I think we might go more... Why do you say that? Because I think the tone of Whirlpool finite is exactly what Blade should be. And I think the original tone of that 89-page script that Mahershala said he didn't like.

It's a little bit of both. I think it's causation correlations. But I think after the success, now we're going to see a more Whirlpool-by-night-ish blade. Because now they're restarting. So you think they're going to just retool what they have? I think Midnight Suns is going to be that flavor. Especially because what, isn't there a Midnight Sun's game about to come out to? And there's been a lot of hype about that.

I think once they realized, like you said, they can step into this darker part of Marvel and it can flourish. I agree that they probably were like, let's turn this up a little bit. Also, these one shots, I think, are the most powerful asset they've had since the, well, honestly, since Disney Plus started, is you can do, like, imagine a Gene Gray hour long leading up to X-Men. Imagine Cyclops getting his own. Imagine Storm getting an origin that she deserves. And then when you meet them in the movies, you've got them all already established.

You don't have to do 20-minute origin because you've got an hour origin. So I can see them after Whirlpine Night's success, not only doing a cult in Midnight Suns, but also going towards one-shots being a bigger... So doing like a giant size X-Men, giant-sized. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, again, you guys have definitely got me more excited about the news. And I love Sasha Baroncon. I really do.

I was just, I understand because you've been worried about how jokey everything's being. Yeah, so that was the thing is that. Ironheart's tone, I think, helps ease that, right? When we saw the trailer, we saw the footage and stuff, too, it doesn't, it didn't seem to jokey at all. It actually looked way more, not espionagey in the sense of, of, of secret invasion, but it had a crime element. I think it had a winter soldier falcon feel a little bit more to it. It did.

It didn't feel as hokey as, say, what's the one, Hawkeye. Right. It felt more like a crime drama. Yes, it did. So by putting him in there, it just wouldn't make sense if he starts, because what I am worried about is that it does turn out to be one of those kind of silly characters from Hawkeye. I don't think that would fit an Iron Heart, which is a good sign. I hope you're right.

And you guys saying it makes me happy. Let me ask you a question, though, that I wanted to get your thoughts on. She-Hoke, Daredevil, and Tony Stark before Pepper, who's the horniest? Ooh. And before you think about that, which one do you think uses Joy Mode? All right. Joy mode, everybody. Joy mode, if you didn't know, Joy mode, is one of those things you're sitting around.

You know, I'm at a gas station, and look at those pills I see over on the, those are going to help me in the bed. That's going to help me. Yeah, those are terrible for you. Really bad for you. Like, not good for your system at all, like damage type stuff. Even some of the stuff that you can get over the counter or a prescription, not the best. Sometimes they leave you, you know, it's not Joe God at, but I'll tell you, sometimes I take it and I get it from the prescription. And it's almost like it's conian sword all over again. I got it for hours, almost like a month.

Cannot do that. It hurts. And you don't want to do that. So what Joy Mode does, it's like a pre-workout for sex. It's the same way. Though I don't need that. I'm doing good. It's not about that.

It's like the same thing when you go to, you work out in the gym. You need something to give you a little boost of energy. This gives you a boost and then some. Every time somebody comes in here. I'm not going to say who. Somebody's birthday. A wife's birthday is coming up soon. And say, hey, I need you got a joy mode?

Yeah, exactly, because you know exactly what's going to happen. I got friends that come in here now and ask me for it. Everybody's asking for Joy Mode. And you guys can get it and get 30% off. Usejoymode.com slash big thing. This one you'll mess around with. Do it. Get it.

Get it now. Usejoymoe.com slash big thing. Get that discount. It's in the description. It's in that eye card. You're not going to, you're going to thank me. All right. I love the idea of you like a dealer.

You're just like, show it out of Joy mode. Like, I think people get out of line. You're like, by the way, I got that. Good, good. But here's the difference, though, because you can't do that with the prescription. No, yeah, yeah. You don't know reactions. This is, like, natural stuff.

Yeah. This is natural stuff where you put it and you shake it up inside of a drink and it's like a supplement. That's the difference. You can't, those pills are you into that. Yeah. Yeah. This is coffee. The line.

Billet. There's coffee for your dick. Yeah. Oh, all right. Well, we got some other, we got some other news. We got some other news. So I, I, uh, took your question to heart. I listened.

All right? We had a question. very important question. She Hulk, Daredevil, Tony Stark before Pepper. Okay, so I would argue Tony Stark used it as escapism because he was trying to calm all of his other addictions. So I'd say that's a negative horniness. Daredevil, I think he used it to abate some of his Catholic guilt

and he was trying to feel free. Whereas She-Hulk uses it as an empowerment because she feels free and the Hulk has a lot of instincts and so does Jen Walters. So I think Jen is able to be the freest and the horniest joy mode for Jen. Okay. Yeah, I got to go, Tony. Yeah, I think Tony.

I got to go, I got it, Tony. I like you nice answer. Did you ever see him in the first one? The first movie, I mean, come on, dudes, dudes. Everybody. He turns to the left and he's banging. Yeah. Like, I just, on top of the second.

I thought of too much. I thought through too much. On top of the fact that, like, I'm thinking about him in the comics, and I'm thinking about the fact that, like, the number of people, he's just seduced at one point or another. You're a billionaire. My man in Iron Man 3 in the beginning winds up not only having this romantic thing with this woman for one night, solves her science equation. And then forgets her name all in one shot.

I mean, this guy is like, come on. Happy has to come clean it up all the time. That's why they call him happy. She even said, I mean, she, although Star Lord 2, the Jackson Pollock painting. That's true. I mean, I don't know. And he's got more species. That's impressive.

I will give you, I would, Oh, 100% Rockin' You're one. Yo, yo,

yo, I will give you that shehulk is maybe the healthy. Yeah, I think the problem was I went healthy, not,

not number. Not just pure horny to talking about who's running around like a rabbit. I went quality, not quantity. I mean, I went quantity not quality.

That's the issue. Because I think the other thing you got to put in it, like it's not that Jen isn't charming in her own right. Right. But Tony is mad charming, is mad rich.

Like, and as was already a famous person. Like, throughout his adolescence. Right. So Tony, Tony. He's got the numbers. All right, I'll give him the numbers. Tony.

Thor could have been if you wanted to be. If you wanted to be, there's always hell of women after him. George are like ladies sioux. Turn it down Lady Siff. If it wasn't for Natalie Portman. Well, even what was the one that I watched recently where it was, it was an

Ultron, when the doctor was like, is Thor going to be there? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, Chris Thamesworth. Yeah, speaking of which, by the way, I'm out, so we're doing the MCU rewatch right now, and I'm keep giving updates as we get through. Right now, we just, did we finish Antman? Oh, we finished Damien, and we're on Civil War right now.

We're in Civil War so much. My daughter is like, oh, she's loving it, man. She's like, she's just, it's adorable, like, watching it because she's just so, you know, she was, she had to do a couple things at school, so she's been trying to put her bed a little early, so she's like, come on just a couple minutes. I'm like, not, that's amazing. Come on, just a couple minutes of Civil War. I'm like, not yet.

We'll do it. The weekend, we'll knock it out. It's so interesting how they did such a good job. Obviously, phase three is supposed to be act three of this saga and, and, like, all right but it's amazing how that film really became kind of that in the Civil War yes

kind of the inciting incident for act three in the fact that like if you thought you were going to get a nasty taste in your mouth in Infinity War they really set up what you're going to be feeling in a few movies you know what I mean like I just thought it was really really really well done all right so

all right we're going to do this we'll do it that's good It's in the one camera. I'm surprised. How are you doing water? Literally on the close up. I love the entire side.

Hey guys, Brett's here. And let's If you were curious about actually enjoying this coffee, Brett just made me a refill while we're on camera and very subtly handed it to me. Oh my God. Also, he brought his tools to make sure the coffee maker was working.

And apparently there was a battle just out. You know who I saw this past weekend, Christian, that it blew my mind. Ralph biscuits? Yeah, Ralph biscuits. Yeah, crazy bastard, bro. He's trying to do pickled back shots. I got out last night. Sabrina Ramirez, and just in the fact that I didn't realize that she was on the show for two weeks before the pandemic hit.

I thought she was in here longer, yeah. Oh, yeah, she came in studio, you mean? Yeah. Well, she was on the digital. I remember, but I mean, like, she was in studio for like two. Two weeks officially as like a permanent I'll be here Fridays and then the world stopped. It just blew my mind because time is. Yeah, she did.

She's working. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But she's doing good. So, all right, listen, before we. I know that's random, but we got so. I'm my fault, bro. Because it froze on me. I thought it would just go.

This is not my fault. Hold on. Let me see. Let me see how fast it is. All right. I just needed to see how. All right. I'm good.

All right. Here we go. All right. So now it's that time of the show. We're excited. Boom Studios is here. Ladies and gentlemen, they sponsored this segment. We're excited to talk about it. Let's get to it. It is Boom, ladies and gentlemen, it is the segment of the show where we are going to talk about some comics, some comic books. And we're going to start here with Eve, Children of the Moon. So if you didn't know, we were already telling you guys about the fact that Boom Studios, who were very excited to be working with, they sponsor this segment in the show where we're talking about, like, Boom Studio Koi, as we talked about,

they are like the, they have been just annihilating with how fast as you said. Like, probably the fastest rising studio I've seen since the image era. Like, this is truly the modern image in that. They're just, everything is a hit. Everything is spectacular. And the way they've been able to grow their business has been so, like, authentic to comic fans. Like, it doesn't, it doesn't feel, it feels like if a bunch of my friends are running a comic company and they know what they're doing. So just dealing with them thus far.

and talking to them. And the fact that they're so, they're already enriched in what this space is and paying attention to. They listen to the audience. They knew capes and cows. They knew this stuff. And they, like, just talking to them,

like they get it. Yeah. So they have this, this, as you see on the screen, Eve, Children of the Moon, number one. So this is the highly anticipated return of the best selling science, fiction, adventure. And it's finally here.

This is the sequel to Eve by Hugo and Nebel Award nominated author, Victor Lovell, follows the journey of a young girl who is raised in virtual reality. on a dying planet. All right, so already you got me on board with that. Children of the Moon picks up right where the original story left off, bringing us back to the unique dystopian setting. It's now out, and it's at your local bookstore,

and you can catch up with the entire first adventure in the Eve paperback collection. That is another thing they're doing really well, is when things go well, they're very good at bringing back sequels in a timely manner where you're still excited to get back into the world, and they collect in trades quickly. Like the next thing we're going to be talking about,

they're very efficient at making sure books are accessible, because a lot of times things sell out, and they're only doing a printer to, So making them collectible in trades and stuff, Smart Move. And so much, I really like about them so far, even the stuff that we've covered so far,

I like that they, it seems, and you can tell me, Corey, if I'm wrong, it seems that they really dive deep into like science fiction. Very,

very science fiction based. That's my jam. Yeah. Well, it's like, like, comics in the bronze and gold age, there was a lot more of that,

like, extra world growth. So what I like about is, obviously superheroes and everything to their, it's a massive thing, but you still hear sometimes, like, you want to get,

You want more. And I don't, and I think there's a misconception from definitely the general audience that, oh, comic book movies, I'm done with it. Sometimes people don't even realize the stuff that comes from comic book movies and stuff like this, like science fiction and all the types. Like that is what I think boom is doing very well with their comic books. They have different types of genres, different types of, like they're horror stuff, the stuff that they have, you can easily see it all being made into film and TV.

I mean, honestly, I mean, you're just talking about science fiction. Some of the best books that I have read in the last, like, couple of years have all been Star Wars books. Right. You know what I'm saying? I don't even mean like the novels. I mean comic books. Like I mean the Vader series has been phenomenal. Have you been reading it? I started a while. I've got my own take on on comic book lore. Okay. Fair. With Star Wars that we'll get into another. You know what I will recommend for you though? As a Predator fan, now that Marvel is part of Fox and Fox is part of Disney, all of that is Marvel making Predator comics that are bitching. Dude, they're so good. They're only an issue too,

and it feels like when you're watching the original Arnold Predator, like page to page are like riveted. Dude, alien and Predator and Marvel right now. It's really good. Yeah. All right. So we have that. I mean,

and that's what I love about this also. You get into this idea of, again, just science fiction, Star Wars comics, that's science fantasy, obviously. But the Predator stuff. And then obviously, so make sure that you also make sure that you check out. Eve, Children of the Moon.

That's Issue 1, which is great. Okay, we have got some more coming out. And that's damn them all. is another one that, that's number one. Now, Damn Them All is a Boom Studio series launch, and it's coming next week. And so we got to look at, an early look at the first issue, and the series is drawn by the legendary artist on the Walking Dead,

Charlie Adler, and written by step-by-bloody step author Simon Spurrier. So what it does is, it follows the occultist for hire, Ellie Hawthorne, aka Bloody El, after the death of her uncle, an infamous magician and occult detective, of 72 devils are mysteriously free to walk the mortal world and it's up to Elle to figure out a way to damn them all back to hell. The first issue has some concept. I was going to say, it reminds me very much of Constantine.

John Constantine vibes and it feels perfect for fans of something is killing the children and other action horror titles. Damn them all. It hits stores on October 26. Now, here's the one, this is really funny because it reminds me of a pilot we did some friends of mine. And it's very similar type of story in that regard. So I just got gazing.

freaked out when I was reading this first book because I was like, yo, this is, I'm loving this up your out. Yeah, right. But at the same time, I'm laughing because there's a reason why Boom is doing so well. They know their market. To not only know their market, but to be smarter enough to be dropping all of this in the middle of spooky season where a lot of people won't necessarily have that forethought. They're just dropping books whenever. This is like the prime time to do this and it's perfect. Also, and this is tricky for me because I don't consider myself.

a horror fan, but horror comics have really got me back into horror movies. And this is one that I was like, this is what I want out of a horror comic. And Simon Spurrier, they mentioned John Constantine, did one of my favorite ever in the history of John Constantine runs. Simon Spurrier is one of the writers that if he writes something, I pick it up. So that's another thing about this company that I really like is that it feels like they know the writers that are not only topical right now, but also the ones that are coming up in a way that comic fans are excited about. Yes, and it also seems like smart marketing around the sign. They're not shying away from the idea that. that it is, you're going to think of Constantine, right?

But it's also, hey, guess what? Constantine, the sequel got announced. And they happen to have the guy. There's some guy that knows Constantine a little bit. So by putting this out there and you kind of relate to it, it's smart marketing subconsciously going, hey, because I got total Constantine vibes from it for sure. So that one is out, once again, that one, that is Damn the Mall,

and that's coming out on October 26th. Okay, so as we move on, some other things. There's my boy. So let's talk, let's talk, Berser. This is the Immortal Pack. So that's coming out this week as well. Now, this collection of the first four issues of the groundbreaking bestselling series from Keanu Reeves

features four all new incredible covers by Andrea Sorrentino and Jordi Balear. Berser's number ones are increasingly hard to find, so it is an excellent collector's opportunity for fans of the series. Go ahead, Coy. Someone was smart enough to buy three Berserner number ones because he knew it was going to be huge. I love that we've got Surrentino art

because she is one of my favorite all-time artists. She does so much great work with Jeff Lemire. She's got incredible runs on Joker that I think are some of the images I now think of for Joker. Serentino, uh, thank you. Uh, that said, the inside art is Ron Garnie, who is one of the, okay, so my dad got me into comics. Uh, the reason I do any of this,

the reason I'm here now is my dad collected comics throughout his childhood. And then when I got old enough, that's something we bonded over and shared. When my dad had the entire Claremont Burn Run of X-Men, we literally read them together and talked about morality and we talked about what it meant to be a good person. The reason I consider myself good is my dad in comic books. The only times I've seen my dad freak out,

not when I'm meeting The Rock, not when I'm meeting Keanu Reeves. My dad was so excited that I was meeting Ron Garnie at Comic-Con. He considered flying in from the East Coast. So Ron Garnie is the artist inside Berser, and Ron Garnie is one of my favorite artists of all time. And it turns out because I got to work with him at Hall-H, one of the coolest dudes.

He's an expert martial artist. He's an absolute badass. He's got this like insane. I will be very happy to meet you until you mess with me vibe, which I respect. And he's not like what you'd expect from a comic artist.

He's like ready to throw. You'd see him in a bar like next to Wolverine before you'd imagine him drawing Wolverine. Much love for this whole team. And Berserker, the book itself. There's a reason you can't find number ones. There's a reason they're repenting one through four. And one through four is a great jumping on point

because you get a whole arc of a story and it draws you in for more. but you can also just enjoy what you got out of that. So getting one through four out now is a great way to find out if you want to jump on before the end of this run. Going back to that marketing thing, right? So this is another way to hype up a product that you know people are going to love, right?

That's part one. Part two, you have one of the major movie stars all the time we created it. So that's two. You know you have a project coming out that he's going to star in that he could be directed. Maybe directed. Right.

So by getting this, getting people talking about it, getting people like, and honestly, up front, having a show, like this to say, hey, if you guys like it, talk about it because we want to get the word out to the audience that watches your types of show because there's more awareness of it. That's what they're doing because they have something that works and they have something that people are getting excited about and the fact that it's selling out and people want it. So once again, if you didn't, if you want to go check it out, you have this immortal pack. It is out this week and it has the first four issues of the

of the bestselling series. And again, it's hard to find. It's how they were able to do this. So once again thank you once you got the music ready or no no no don't worry about it I don't know

you were to play it out bro no why why why be consistent so why why why not tell me what you go to do you know what I'm saying

have you ever been on my shows before I always start with the music and then with the music do you though the top gun guy the top gun guy

capes and cows ladies and gentlemen that's what the show is polished this is the perfect great timing maybe

maybe maybe should rethink coming on stage with us. How about that? Look, I'm very proud of himself. I'm a pretty proud of him. I am. You're kidding me? Great.

Keep going. Yeah, sure, good. I get a copy. Perfect. Thanks for joining us. And thank you. Thank you to Boom Studios for, for sponsoring that segment and for, again,

making us aware, making you aware. I got so much feedback from the audience last week about the fact that we were doing this and that we were working with Boom. People were very excited. People are very aware of Boom. People are like, wow, you guys are working at Boom Studios. amazing, so glad they're part of it. I also want to thank the audience.

I make the foolish mistake of reading the comments on YouTube, and to see you guys positively talk about my getting you into comics means a lot. It compensates for a lot of the vitriol on the internet. So thank you so much for picking up comics because we talk about it. Like, that makes all of this worth it for me. So thank you. And if you get any of these, tweet us. Let us know what you're picking up.

Let us know what you're enjoying. I'd love to hear what you're reading. And tweet, boom. Let them know that you, like, honestly, let them know that you heard about, um, I wasn't ready. You don't need to play it. I don't know.

Every time you say the word you say, boom, I don't know. No, but tweet, tweeted at them and let them know you heard about them or you picked up comics because you heard it on capes and cows on big thing. Okay. Last thing before we go, because Winston really needs to get out of here. So let's get into this last thing. We have to talk Black Adam.

So Black Adam, for people don't know, I don't know where you've been, especially if you're watching this show, but this is a movie that's coming out. And people don't, Winston is not going to, it had not seen it yet. So Winston will not be on, normally we do the spoiler reviews like on Monday with the three of us. So it'll be Coy and myself who are kind of going on to the deep dive on Monday. But Winston, myself and Coy will be seeing Black Panther next week and we'll be able to start giving you guys some. We will have a spoiler review on that when we're able to. So this is something that we talked about Roka and Snyder before.

They also have a bet going on right now. And I won't tell you who yet. But one of them said that it's going to make $100 million. the other said no way. I think the no way person is right. And I think it makes 65 to 75 opening week. Now, we're not going to why. We're talking domestic.

Okay. 75 domestic. But the person who, Corey, where do you stand? Do you stand on the person who said 100 or no? I'm going to go 100 because it's a superhero movie. It's got a lot of word of mouth. It's a rock movie. And like the market right now, it's, it's, we haven't had a big.

movie in a little bit. We've had a lot of great indies. We've had a lot of good movies. We haven't had a big movie. I'm going to 100. Okay. And Winston? No, if we're going over under, I'm going to go under 100. And Winston's usually... I'm usually the one that overshoots. I don't know. You're usually the one that's on, that's... Yeah, usually... You usually get our box office wins.

I think, I think it's going to do very well. I do too. A hundred though, I don't... A hundred is reserved for like Spider-Man's, Black Panthers. Spider-Man's like 150, 200. No, no, but you know what I'm saying? Like, I'm not saying having the rock and people being excited about Superman isn't a big thing. And it's also Spider-Man.

It's also Spider-Man. And not an obscure character. And that's the thing. I think if Black Adam was a bigger deal in the cultural lexicon tied with the rock, I think that would do it. How confident are you? Because I'm willing to put a bet on it with you. I mean, I don't have $100 million. No, no. You know what? The bet would be, the bet would be you'd have to come, you'd have to stop off at Joe's pizza and bring a full Joe's pizza here.

That's like $100 million. Joe's pizza on the West Coast. It's like $80. Get out of here. I work on the internet, Winston, I make dozens of dollars a year. Dozens. Hey, well, anyway. We make dozens of dollars a year. Would you want, uh, would, would, do you know? I'm not that confident. I'm scared. Don't be scared. I'm going to own that. Don't be scared. Well, what's your bet? I think it makes 70, 65 to 70. I think it tops out around 68.

So also to be fair to you, it's not tracking at 100. It's tracking it, like, 66, 60s. Oh, I'm really glad I didn't make that bet. So the reason why I think that it'll do a little better than that is because of the way the Rock has been marketing it, the way that the Rock has been out there talking. He has brought more awareness to this character than anyone else could have. So, but to, like, is the Black Adam character was way more obscure than like even Iron Man was.

And Iron Man was like an obscure character for people like, I knew Iron Man, yeah, but you're not the general audience. If you knew Iron Man, somebody like, oh, I think I knew about that when I was a kid or whatever, too. That's kind of how Iron Man came out, but it was the way that they built it up. But Black Adam has been made really relevant in the news because of the rock and because of the potential of having Henry Campbell back in it. Those are the two reasons this movie's going to do well. it will do well overall, but as far as it's opening, I don't think it's crossing a hundred. I'm with you. I agree. What would you say? I'd guess. I'll go a little higher. I'll say it'll probably tap out around 7780, but I don't think it's getting beyond really 80. That would be overperforming.

And I think it's possible. I think it's possible to overperforming. I think with the Rocks Press, I'm going to decide with you now that I know what it's tracking at. I do think it's going to overperform its tracking and I do think it's going to have legs. I say, I think it'll have legs as well. So again, with a, it's a non-spoiler review. We'll get into that. Winston asked me, Juzi, had heard some things that it's not very good.

And what I had said, and I stand by it, because I said something on the other day that it's a popcorn movie. What does that mean is a popcorn movie? Popcorn movie to me is that, is it a paint by numbers movie? It is.

Is it, you know, is it a bit predictable at times? It is. Is it overstylized at times? It is. That I enjoy the hell out of watching it. I did. And that's,

to me, you can do something that you've seen a million times over, but was I entertained, watching it and I was. We've seen the hero's journey in most movies. Star Wars is based off like, you know, three stories that everyone has retold. But I think there does add some interesting elements

with the anti-hero commentary. And I think it also does have unique action at times. And I think overall it was a really, really good place for DC to be like, okay, we've caught our breath, we're going to go here, we're going to figure this out from there. And The Rock is doing something different than he's done before. And I was really impressed with that. I really like this take on The Rock.

You should check out his interview over at Nerdist. I hear it's good. It's good, too. But as people were saying, though, you know, it's like the reviews have been like 60, or excuse me, like 48, 50%, it's not that movie. It's not. And people are, oh, because clearly it's a bad movie. There's two things with that.

There's, this is not a critics movie at all. This is not a critics movie. Are you a critic? No, I'm not. I've never, never said I was. I'm someone who talks about movies after I see them. Like, the same way that you just talk about it with your friends, I've never, I've never claimed that I was a professional.

movie critic. I think William Bibiani is a professional movie critic. He's got to love it. I think Alonzo Duraldi is a professional movie critic, right? Those are people who really, Christy Lemire, professional movie critic. I don't think that this is a critics movie. I don't. I think that they're going to analyze that and say what is the difference

between movies in the common book genre and this is nothing wrong with that, but saying what is the difference between this, this and that? This is to me, again, num, num, num, num, num, num, num, and you know, I want more than that. You might. You might not like it.

The music. The music's incredible. The music's great. But to that point, two of the biggest movie stars in the world in Kevin Hart and The Rock, which I love their friendship and whatnot, how many of their movies have been that deep, to be honest with you, most of them, why they are so good at what they do, most of their movies track around 30 to 50 as far as, like, the rating. But you go because you're like, I'm going to watch Kevin Hart be Kevin Hart.

I'm going to watch The Rock be the Rock. The Rock is the Rock in this. And there are things. Like I see like there, there are things like, again, with a, uh, uh, he, when he shows up and is he starts talking in perfect English. It's been asleep for 5,000 years in a different country. When the States and English wasn't even a, is a, well, question, does he have his powers? Uh, yeah.

That would make sense then. Just wakes up and starts talking perfect English. Because I'm assuming that he heard anybody talk for half a second, part of the power is the wisdom. It's the wisdom of Solomon. Well, or whatever the Egyptian version of it is. My point in any of it is, I get it.

Who cares? I don't know, I know. But there are other movies. There are other movies when you go, wait a minute. Let's dive into that. You didn't even get into why, but this is not that kind of movie. And I'm very curious about the audience thinks, but I do think it makes Pugn $75, $80 million.

I do think that the way that they market, it was very smart. I think The Rock is doing a good job. Sometimes I want a nourishing meal like everything all at once. Sometimes I want steak like Top Gun Maverick. Sometimes I want a nice burger. Top Gun Guy! And that's Black Adam.

Burger and fries. I had a great time. Yeah. Anyway, there's so much more that we didn't get to today that we'll have to get to next. What was the last thing you were going to say about Lapita? Oh, you went, so I'm just very curious what that was. Let me find that story. Hold on a second.

I'm glad you brought that up. So we're, I see it. Nongo on the two up from the one that's like the two down from there. There you go, see it. Okay. So let's talk about. Love that costume. So, okay, man.

Okay. So she, Lapita Niango's, I. I don't know what she's doing. She's doing press yet for this. Maybe she is. That would probably be what it is, because we're, three weeks out.

Yeah. In recent years, this is from Dark Horizons, Garth Franklin, or I think there's all their articles, in recent years of, plenty of people have weighed in the question of the artistic merit

of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Ever since Martin Scra says, he dubbed Marvel Studios Blockbusters as not cinema back in 2019, whilst trying to make a larger point about big budget filmmaking, the internet regularly seems

to want to declare a war over quotes by filmmakers, actors, and the like who criticize Marvel's approach. Every now and then, though, you'll get a thoughtful and consider an answer from someone who's been on both sides of the filmmaking coin, someone who has been involved in both scale and more personal projects and understands not just their differences, but also in different merits. This can be said today in an interview with Lupino, Nago, out promoting Black Panther Wiconda Forever. Speaking with T.HR, she offered her considered take, which says the film's industry should put on a focus on a consumer choice, is a variety of options and is what healthy for cinema overall.

I think to be culturally prosperous, to be artistically prosperous as a people, is to have options. I personally have a, I personally love a good Marvel movie, but it doesn't take away from really wanting the little character-driven film. I believe in the fight for those things to be kept alive because the one thing we always want, the ultimate privilege, is choice. It becomes a philosophical question about what is art and what is purpose. I believe that art plays a role in moving the people that experience it and a lot of

of people are moved by Marvel. Are you being moved by this thing less important than me? Is you being moved by this thing less important than me being moved by Picasso? It's a great answer. I think that's phenomenal and I think that's spot on, which is why I got so upset personally when Scorsese was just like, this is an art. It's like, bro, to that point, I know this sounds wild if we're just staying within TV.

I have just as much fun watching the trash stuff of like the Bachelor franchise as people do like the real housewives of the Kardashians. as I do sitting down and watching Breaking Bad or Game of Thrones. Like they hit a different spot that is equally as important, and there is a narrative story that still has to be told for you to, like, genuinely bring it in. So maybe one is a little bit higher art, that's fine. Salad steak burger, man, all different meals. And to be honest, so many of my favorite actors watch reality TV in order to escape

or to feel something different because they're so... Like Tom Hardy is a huge, huge reality TV fan. He gets a lot of his characters from watching that stuff because he gets emotions from it in a way that he can't connect with movies because he works on so many sets. So I think in order to have, and it sucks because of Scorsese, who is a very genius director,

who is very talented, but to have anyone disparage another art to elevate yours in some way is always disgusting. And look, it's not just him. Oh, no, he's one of many. Even, what's his face from, oh, God, I'm, I'm, uh, Ethan Hawke.

Yeah. Don't forget. Ethan Hawk, who was just in Moon Night crapped on Marvel and Comic movies, not too long ago. But then I like his, you know, he came back and said that thing about art though, and he's talking about what your experience with art is

and how he misspoke and like he kind of back it. And I liked it. I mean, look, whatever his words is that. I'm just saying that people say it all the time. I mean, Stephen Dorr Fisleman said that comic book movies at this level lead to infantilism, which is one step closer to fascism. He literally said this is how we're going to have a fascist dictatorship. But I was like,

bro, go back to the cave, you're a genius. But either way. So Martin Scraise, who just comes from the old school. And you got to remember also the same way that like your parents, your grandparents, they have different philosophies than you do also. And this is the same guy who also said, you know, recently about blaming

that studios spend too much time on box office. Marty, I love you, dude. It's a business. It's a business. Show business. But it's a business. And it's like, it's different now because it's like, I don't disagree that it's got to be frustrating

from filmmakers who put like a lot of craft and trying to tell a particular story. But it's not 1976 when you put in a full-on drama And you can do great box office anywhere because the box office is, it's so much budget that goes into it now that you have to either make even or make so much more money. These movies now, they do better on streaming. The two things that, right, the two things that stick out of my mind is one, this is the age old argument that every generation has about music. Well, back in my day, we had good music. What's on now is trash.

No, no, no, no. It's their experience. It's their culture. It's their society. It doesn't make it any less music. Some of, like, bad music is bad music because there's bad music in the 70s you can go and talk about, but we just, it didn't survive, right? So you just have to under. Bailings album?

So to that point, you just have to understand that the things that are truly, the things that are truly will survive the test of time. Be my valentine. But the other thing is. Look at bailings, be my valentine. Suffer. But you. But the other thing that I will give. credit to, it sounds weird

to be crediting entourage, but one thing that Ari always said, one for you, one for me. So you have to do a Marvel movie so that you can do your indie movie. I mean, that's how it goes. But, all right, look, we talked a lot. Big show. A lot of good stuff here. Big show and the big thing. Yeah, so listen, thank you once again to Boom

Studios. Check out that stuff. Make sure you tweet them if you do get their stuff and make sure you do get their stuff. Thank you again to Joy Mode, trade coffee. And thank you to you guys. We appreciate you very much. Please, please, please, please, make sure that you go on over to the T-shirt store. Get yourself a capes and cows logo.
