Make a billion dollars. That is the question at hand, considering it the movie's already made almost 600 worldwide, when nobody thought it would do 300 worldwide for its entire run. So will it do it? Well, John Roker recovered from the earthquake. We'll find that out too. There's a big earthquake. Hopefully everybody's safe.

John is safe. The lady is safe. So we'll talk about that because that's a big event going on. a lot of other things going on. Warner Brothers, finally pretty much confirming all of the Harry Potter rumors about casting. So we'll jump into that. And then we'll discuss other stuff because that's what we do on this show.

So it is the Christian Harlow show here on Monday, everybody. Let's get into it. It's me. It's Roca. You ready? You are? Good. Me too.

Here we go. Welcome back. Welcome back to the show, everybody. It is Monday. and what a way to start the show today with a little bit of the shakes and john roca yeah deal with it dude yeah as i got a text you you're like earthquake and i was like wait what you're like 5.6 or what what holy shit and there was like six point and i looked um i looked it up and it was pretty crazy so talk me through it what happened yeah it was uh 15 miles away from us i was working this morning

because i'm gonna do a be doing a podcast on fargo i was watching fargo on the couch and then all of a sudden and everything started moving around. And the first wave, I was like, wait, is, is it a big truck driving by? Because we live near a military base. So is it a big plane coming, a big one of those military planes coming by, which happens every once in a while? And then the second wave hit, and everything started to move. So both of our phones went off with those alerts. And we both initially ran under a awning, but then we jumped under the dining room table and just kind of sat there for a little.

Yeah, it was pretty scary. I haven't had one of those in a while. and you live in LA, you know, this question. You get used to them. But the big ones do kind of shake you a little bit. Of course. That's Mother Nature saying, hey, check this out. You know, you can't do anything about it.

I don't know what you want to do. It's scary. It's really scary. So, well, good. I'm glad you guys are safe. And hopefully that a lot of people are also, haven't heard anything else. Yeah, but, you know, we're following the situation, as they say.

Yeah, yeah, for sure. Yeah. A lot of stuff going on in the world of moving. news like really quick though as far as i guess just entertainment news did you i saw that you did a little video of it yesterday i did two last of a season two i think they started with a good good opening non-spoiler obviously but they started with a pretty good opening yeah good solid opening i think it's good i think i already sees people complaining about the difference in the relationship between ellie and joel five years later but i mean you've got to think about this is a

teenager this is a guy who's not technically her dad more of a father figure but there's a there was something at the end of season one for some of you who may not have even seen season one that was that is causing the rift between them so i like that but we got to see we got introduced to dna we got introduced to abby so we see people moving into positions we know that there's a thing going on with the council and that final shot we know that some some dangers are coming and and some things have adapted which i think is really cool to see that there's now a new approach to those kinds of things that are the threat in that world so yeah i liked it for an open it wasn't a banger of an episode but it was a good solid episode to get us going it was basically to lay the ground yes this is what's

happening this season we're back the characters are back the music is back um so enjoy it as you will katherine o'hara coming in and and kicking ass and yeah so yeah i'm digging it the other thing i'm going to do an immediate reaction for it i however release it anyway um i'll just say this do you watched daredevil the finale i have seen the finale yes holy shit it's awesome Yeah, it's awesome. That's all I'll say. It's awesome. I'll do a full on, you know, I'm going to release my media reaction for it,

then my reaction to it. Yeah. But wow. I mean, I feel like it's going to, even those people who didn't think it held a candle to the original Netflix series, I think even they will go, okay, at least that one was out of control good. I mean, it's out of control good. Yeah, the last two episodes, eight and nine, the finale coming up and then the show last

week are from the people who took over. And they're going to be the people doing all of season two. You can tell. Yeah. I thought eight was great. I thought eight was great. I thought nine shits on eight. Yeah.

And I thought eight was great. Yeah. Anyway, I'll get more into it later. All right. A lot of stuff happened over the weekend. And the Minecraft movie did not stop. Yeah.

Look at that. You did the popcorn and thrown all over the place. So Warner Brothers Pictures, Minecraft movie is well on its way to becoming the first. of 2025 to hit that $1 billion mark. The video game adaptation, it has now pulled in 550.6 million globally after its second weekend of release,

a total now standing at 281 million domestically and 269 million internationally. Films Gross has already overtaken Marvel's Captain America Brave New World, which in its ninth week has stands at 410 million globally. In its second week, Minecraft pulled in 80, $1.6 million domestically down by 52% and $79.6 million from 76 international markets down by 45. The film is going strong in the UK, China, Germany, and Mexico.

Also out this week and fairly, fearing decent is the vigilante thriller, the amateur, starring Rami Malik, the 60 million budgeted film is tracking for 15 million domestic and 17.2 overseas for 32.2 million. It's pretty good. Domestically, King of Kings is set to take second with 19, 19.1 million while warfare released to 8.3 million in fourth place. And fifth is Universal in the Blumhouse horror film drop, which made 7.7 domestic and 2 million overseas in its debut. At a tight $11 million budget, it won't be hurting Universal anytime soon because Blumhouse is the smartest company. The world. They're the smartest. They made a haunted pool movie and it made money. That's that's it. That's that's that's that you can't you cannot take that away from them. And when they made that movie, that's, that movie. Did you see drop? Not yet. No, I'm going to, I saw the other movies this weekend, but I've not seen drop.

I'll catch a little. It's like this maybe, maybe like one or two of the, the majority of this movie takes place in like one location. Right. So you can tell it, they made it for nothing. It's dialogue. They shot things around. They moved the camera around.

They use it. They have such a great handle on how to make movies, Flumhouse. They really do. So that doesn't surprise me. King King's making one it did. Doesn't surprise me. Yeah. Warfare, I cannot tell you how bummed I am that I missed that movie.

Oh my God, dude. I did my reaction on Saturday, went and saw it and did a reaction right afterwards. I was shaking, man. Yeah, I hear you can't, you can't watch it more than once, right? What's that? You can't watch that one more than once, I heard. I think it's a tough watch a second time, but I mean, because of what they go through, but it's an incredible film.

That's a hurt. I heard it's really good. And I was, I was on my way. I had gone. I saw sinners earlier in the morning. and I was going to go. What's that? I'm seeing that tonight.

Okay, you're going to enjoy it. So I was on my way and then I had something I had to do at home. And I just, instead of continuing uptown, I just stopped at Penn Station and went home. So I would really, really want to see that movie. I probably will catch it at some point.

But that movie doing what it did, again, doesn't surprise me further. I think Michael Gandalfini is maybe the biggest star in it. Is that true? Well, no, you got Wilp Holter. Oh, okay. Right? You've got Joseph Quinn.

You've got a number of guys. Oh, Mr. Quinn's in the two. Yeah. Dr. Tom Melton. There's a lot of guys in that. One of the dudes. Kind of like.

So it's kind of like what all the, like, the star-studded cast they had in Black Hawk down when that came out. Yeah, kind of. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because those were all at the time up and coming young actor. Yep. Yeah. Okay. That makes sense.

Okay. And then what? Number two was, which one was it? Was it? Was that number two was King King's? Okay. So then. Oh no, and then there was the amateur.

The amateur. That's another one I miss. I miss both those movies. I mean, it's both those movies. I heard that one was good too. You like that one. I really like the amateur. That was a lot of fun. So I drove up to L.A. for that screening last week. Yeah, yeah.

That's a film that. And it's so good. It's a thriller that takes its time. This is a Rami Malik I've never seen before. And I think the film works so well. And it's very well constructed. And there's a lot of humor amidst amidst the drama that's going on, which I think works so well, too.

Okay. Let's then let's talk about, you know, what the whole show is about. That's Minecraft. Yeah. We discussed that, you know, earlier on in the year, or maybe even last year, we're talking about movies that are coming. And I said, there's a possibility that movie does well because of the audience behind it. Did I think it would do this level of good? Hell no.

You know, it's crazy. It's doing this one. This movie's going to make a billion dollars. It's already at least. At least. It's already on par. I mean, the fact that it only dropped around 50% is exactly what you need. The next, I think that I was going over it with my youngest today is anything else that there is to see in the theater for kids.

What's the, what's the, the next one is Lilo and Stitch in May, right? So they've got no competition. The families are going to be seeing this movie and they have been seeing this movie. This movie is going to cater towards the families and they're going to wind up continue to make money because that's, I heard people. I would tie. So point in Jackie, I went and I took my, my little one to gymnastics. So I heard this mother talking to another mother. She said, yeah, when I kept a whole, heard all this hype about that Minecraft movie.

So I took the family and we went and saw Minecraft. She's like, I didn't really get it and play the game, but the kids were loving it. And I'm like, that's why the movie's making it. Oh, yeah. Because it's continuing people like, oh, you got to go see that Minecraft movie. It's because it's the big build to it now. I mean, this is what do you think this is one, one billion easy, right? Oh, at least.

I think 1.5 is in play, honestly, because it's going to be one. a month and two weeks until or a month of a week before we get to leo and stitch which is may 23rd so you're running quite a strong game here and you could argue maybe thunderbolts or sinners that the other films might you know might slow the momentum a little bit but i think there's nothing else as you said for like young kids to go and see and this has also been embraced by teenagers and it's become a mean tic-toky thing so clearly those kids at that age are going to be jumping in to try to create their own videos and go to these. I mean, they're even having screenings that are like the

chicken jockey screenings where you can freely go in and mess up the whole theater and react. So they're taking advantage of those situations. Are they finally doing that? Yeah, yeah. It was announced, I think, over the weekend. So absolutely. They watched the show. They watched the show

because I came up with that idea. I said, you got to you got to tarp down the floors. You got to do Rocky Horror Picture Show thing. You got to do a whole thing. And then, and you got to pay the you got to pay the ushers extra. A little extra. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So sorry. go ahead please yeah no just saying like i think it's become like it's our movie for the teenage generation like it's our movie so we are going to own it we're going to go see it we're going to support it over and over and over

again so i think it'll have life for quite some time so if i was um i don't know what the digital release date on this thing is remember because it's not always 45 days with a lot of these movies so if i was the studio i'd be like hold off on that for a little bit let it stay in the theaters for as Yeah, it's building because look at Mario, look at this. It's like if you, this is what I keep trying to tell people, especially like an April release through May and June, if you can hit that movie for families and you can hit the sweet spot and you can get kids in that theater,

you are going to get a good chance to make a billion dollars because there's not a lot of stuff for kids to see. There's just not a lot of stuff for kids to see in the theater, tons of stuff for kids to see in streaming. But when you have an opportunity to go and make a movie that, you know, you're going to get kids in that theater. You can hit a billion. You can do it. So I think that's exactly what happened here.

The continued, the families have been rushing in to see this. And the Minecraft players. And that can come from people who were playing Minecraft 10, 15 years ago, who just went like, when we were younger, I used to play Minecraft, play Minecraft now. Let's go check it out. And I think that's exactly what happened. Because this, I think that one point, what did Mario make? 1.3?

I think 1.3, 1.2. something like that, yeah. I think it's going to do better than Mario. Oh, yeah. I agree with you. I agree. And I think because what you just said also, right? And that's the fact that you can have fun in these screenings and you can do certain things now that they're embracing it.

I don't necessarily, and I don't know if it's a true comment or not. But director, Jared Hess. Yeah. Can we confirm, do he say, oh, I think the, with something about like the fun police or something. Yeah. The police are making a big deal out of people throwing popcorn around. It's a bit of a tone deaf. I think it's very tone.

I'm with you. Very tone deaf. You don't work there, Jared Hess. You don't work there. You make the movie. You make the money for the family. You don't work there. It's like,

I'm going into work and they're like, oh, yeah, you know, this is you got to clean all this stuff up now because that's your theater. I'd be like, I quit.

I'm leaving. Right? And I don't get paid enough. So it's like, ah, I did it's fun, please. You don't work there.

So if he said that, that is a very tone-depth thing. But if he would have said some of the long lines, I'm like, look, you know what we should do? We should make like screens. We can throw things around, pay them a little extra more. I only had a problem with that. I certainly wouldn't have a problem with that.

Right. He's just like, let's, let's have some fun with it. They're having a blast doing it, and it's fun. And if they're paying people instead of $8 an hour, they're paying them $25 or $30 an hour to do it for those screenings, then there you go. Yeah. Yeah, what he said was, quote,

it's weird when you're having too much fun of the cops get called. It's funny because I think it's just literally cheering and throwing popcorn which is funny to me that pops getting called for popcorn. Yeah, it's hilarious. I've seen so many funny stories. I even enjoy, it's great, especially when people are climbing on their friend's shoulders. And I'm like, what is wrong with you? Jared, take you and your pretentious beard and show up and start cleaning up some of these theaters.

Until then, there's no, there's like, I thought of the people working there immediately. Yeah, of course. That sucks. That sucks. And I also thought of the people that took their kids to see. it and are getting pelt to a popcorn. That's not fun. That sucks in the same way that if you're like, wow, so what? There were people who are on their phone screaming and yelling about, oh, here comes the fun scene. Oh, yeah, I'm here. I'm here right now. Here comes the fun scene. And I'm right next to what's the difference? Yeah, yeah, yeah, because you're throwing popcorn. It was, it's, it's, it's, it's pulling out their phones to record

the movie while they're doing it. It's worse. It was a, it was a, it was a, it was a, it was a, it was a, it was a, it was a, it was a, it was a, it was a, it was a, it was a fun screenings in a different room that to me it if everybody stands off on it that's all for that yeah yeah 100% you're still allowed to say oh I got to I'm in the fun the popcorn thing today everyone I can't help you today because I'm going to be cleaning that shit hole up for like you know four hours um exactly but you really should prepared and you're getting paid for it anyway to me the vomiting is the issue if they're vomiting the kids are vomiting on the cromiting also oh yeah that was in the wrong with people I know you know kids nowadays man they're angry at everything and you know what we were we were teenagers we it's all about rebelling

having fun and telling old people to eff off and so that's what you see so i don't fault them for that wanting and having that instinct it's like but at the other side society has to be like look that cut it out that we're not doing that stop us yeah you're gonna stop this um anyway all right i got to ask you guys what do you think about Minecraft in general you think this movie's gonna make a billion dollars um if so i think they were all on the same page that it probably will what will be, and this is probably what we'll cover next, but what will be the next movie to hit a billion after that? What say you, put your thoughts in there, let us know.

And that poses the question. So Minecraft has hit a billion dollars, or it will hit a billion dollars, probably the next two or three weeks. The question then goes, with the remaining movies for this year, what will be the next one to do it? you know as i just made in a previous point with families you know it's like could could train your dragon do it i think it's very possible people like that series a lot people loved that i mean if mark riley was here it probably tell you 100 yes he would love that series because he's could he'd spend a

billion dollars on it he would absolutely spend a million dollars on it but yeah i mean i think that's probably the next one that has a shot at doing it that's a family friendly film 100%. The only reason I think it won't. I think we're doing it between the 6 to 800 range. The reason I don't think it will is because of what we were just talking about in the previous story is that this thing became an event. Yeah.

It became an event. And I think that the event portion of what it did and people going to the theaters having fun and doing all that stuff and the word of mouth that started to spread about how much fun it was. It's one of those things that just kind of happened, right? because no one could have guessed that was going to be a thing. I don't think that makes a billion. I think Superman's got a shot.

I think Avatar definitely makes a billion. Fantastic Four has a shot, I think if it's as good as Marvel thinks it is. I think it absolutely has a shot. Shot, yes, but I don't think it does. If I was going to say the two guarantees that I'm slapping money down in Vegas, and that guarantee, not even guarantee. The one guarantee I'm going to do is Avatar.

That's my guarantee. I feel like you can only bet, one movie for the whole year. What is it? It's Avatar. Okay. My gamble is Superman. Okay.

My gamble is Superman. Because if I leave going, uh-oh, I don't know. I can see that. I could see that happening, but I could also see myself going, that movie's going to make a billion dollars. Yeah. You know what I mean? It's, it really just depends on what happens afterward, like the magic behind it.

And if there's magic behind this movie, it makes a billion dollars. So those are the two that I pick, and it could be more. what do you pick i i like avatar that's a easy bet because Cameron does billions on all of his movies now um superman i think is a real possibility if it's if it's good in all the negative free out but i mean seeing the internet already

arming up to go after this movie doesn't bode well for it but we'll see we'll see it may be an x-man 97 situation where it's so good that it drowns out those voices and so it makes a billion i think fantastic four is in play uh and i also think jurasic World Rebirth is in play, right? I would bet on Jurassic World over, I'm going to be honest with you. I want Superman to make a billion over

Jurassic World, but yes, if I take it back. If Dress World's good, no, it doesn't have to be good. That's the difference. Superman needs to be good to make a billion. Dramatic World can be, look at the last two Jurassic World's horrendous, and they made it. And it made overbillah. Because people

everywhere want to see dinosaurs. Right. What about Mando and Groku? Isn't that at the end of the year? next year that's next year okay next man let me throw this out mission impossible final wreck now i know the last one underperformed but this one they made for 400 it's probably 400 million dollars this needs to make close to that so it's got to make a billion and it supposedly tom cruz's last run is ethan hunt i think that might induce a lot of people and if it's a good movie yeah i think it'll induce a lot of people to go and it could be the first time a mission impossible will makes a billion

dollars. Tom has that. I don't think it's likely. I wouldn't be surprised. The points you just made. The other point that you didn't make that I think the reason why it didn't perform last time is because right around Oppenheimer and Barbie. I mean,

it got nailed by those two movies. And that was just stupid timing on when they put that movie out. So you're not wrong. It needs to make a significant amount of money in order to break even. Right. And it is because it's this last movie. And if it's fantastic, I really do hope that it does hit that.

Yeah. But we're not living in 2018 anymore, you know, like where movies are hitting a billion left and right. Maybe the box office bounces back. And this year is one of those record breakers. The good news is that last year, I think, well, was Mario last year? Was it two years ago? Mario was two years ago.

Because there was nothing last year until like June. Because I think Inside Out, too, was the one that started at all. because we were in i remember being on the show with you the theater was in the shits and because he had all those movies it was it was if and furiosa and then something else that came out in may and they all ate they all ate shit and we're like oh oh maybe people don't want to see movies and then from june on nobody was having that conversation yeah and Pixar was people worried about pixar because of elemental and they thought well even though it did eventually came back yeah yeah people were still worried about the reactions the last few

Pixar movies and so no one I don't think a lot of people expected it to make a billion dollars and it did uh and over a billion so yeah yeah yeah so there were two but again look at the two more look at look another movie yeah i said beforehand you can get those families and get those kids in yeah theater and it's a good movie and people are talking about it uh and you you got a good shot to make a billion dollars um let me throw out one more yeah please possibly possibly i'm not saying it's going to happen i'm saying it's in play that sequel to wicked because of how people are responding and it's breaking all kinds of numbers streaming on Peacock right now and on VOD and whatever. Like all these people are catching up to the first one.

And I know the first one made less than $500 million. But there's a very real possibility that the second one comes out. And it's like a massive thing to watch people who could hit a billion. I don't think you're crazy for suggesting that. Again, I don't think it happens because I just, I still, like you said, the hype behind that movie was insanity. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The amount of people singing those songs, and if I got to hear,

oh, one more time in my life, I'm going to put my head through a window. But the hype was so crazy, and like you said, it just did 500 million or something along that lines, right? I still think there's a thing with musicals that not everybody wants to go check out in theaters. But that being said,

I think it performs significantly better than the first one. I think we're looking at 7 to 800. If it makes a billion, though, would I be like, wow, be shocked? No, I'm more. shocked them. I don't think there's going to be anything that shocks me in the way that Minecraft is going to shock me. Yeah. Nobody would have predicted one point two or three billion what this thing will eventually do. No one predicted that. Yeah, I thought it was going to sink like

a stone. Yeah. I thought that a shot. But, but, um, we'll, we'll see. Yeah. We'll see. Um, okay. So what do you guys think? What movies out there that are coming out for the rest of the or do you believe have a shot to join that billion dollar club will Minecraft stand alone will it even make it um avatar Superman Jurassic world put them out there what do you think all right now before we move on um this week i got to tell you man we got some good ones here and it's all about your finances there's tons of stuff to talk about to tell you about acorns i'm going to tell you about kickoff both of them are beneficial especially for acorns if you have kids you're going to going to really appreciate this for your tax season.

I have two kids. I have a 7-year-old and a 13-year-old and they're both learning about money. And for me, I'm always trying to teach them to be responsible with money. Because where do you think kids learn the most about money? Is it their parents, their teachers? Or Taylor Swift? No, it's not Taylor Swift. 81% of their kids say parents.

81%. I wish I learned that kind of stuff when I was younger. My dad taught me, I didn't listen as much. I didn't have this kind of idea. And that's what Acorns does. This episode is sponsored by Acorns Early. April is financial literacy month, the perfect time to start teaching your kids the value of money and Acorns Early make it easy with their smart money app and debit card for kids.

Acorn's Early Chores Tracker teach the kids how hard work does pay off. It sets up tasks in the app, it's set a payment amount, and you tick off the chore when it's done. Easy. Saving goals help kids turn saving into a habit. They can even choose their own target dates and turn on their optional auto save feature to help them get there.

Listen, we got to start teaching kids about a younger and younger age is about financial responsibility. It's really important. These, these people prey on the fact that there's a lot of uneducated people about financial stuff. I mean, it's insane that we have to learn a language in school, but we don't have to learn about

finance. We need to be learning it like. Connectives when you're in school. All right. Here we go. Okay. This is something that I want to bring up. Here's a topic that's interesting because we had this conversation the other day and I didn't even realize what's happening. And I'm going to see because I would assume that John is aware. But I know a lot of people weren't. Someone bring this up. John, what do you know that Star Wars celebration is this week?

Oh my God, it's happening in Japan. Of course I knew. Yes. It's not, of course, I knew because we were, I'm telling you, we were on, we were on air last week, and they're like, oh, when is it? And it's like, oh, next week, no one's talking about this. No one's talking about story celebration. And I, and I think that, I think, I can't remember who, PLD brought it up. And, you know, I don't even know.

Yeah, PLD, when we were doing the, we're doing our member stream. And there's a few things that I think that will probably happen, right? Like, I would assume Asoka is going, well, they're doing a panel. So I would assume they're going to probably announce some kind of cast. They'll probably bring out the new dude who's playing Baylon, you know, Game of Thrones. They'll probably announce, obviously, because they're going to recap a season one. So they'll bring, they'll do some stuff with season two.

They'll announce some stuff with season two. Maybe they'll show you something. Mandalorian and Grogu will have a full trailer that will come out, or at least a teaser trailer, like a two, to see what the story's about or what kind of feel or tone we're going to get. Sure. And then some, another pheloni animated projects or something. no one's going to care about and then so um what i mean what else after that like it doesn't seem like

there's a lot else i mean i if they really want to take advantage of this uh moment and as you said if they're not doing a good enough job of letting people like even star wars heads like you realize that a celebration is happening that me it probably means that like quite a few star wars fans are like yeah whatever um you got a i i think you announce who the person is that's going to take over for Kathleen down the road. So you start that process early here. I think the other thing you do is start to clarify what it is, what's going on with the movies, what's really going on with these movies, what's really going on with the rape film.

We've heard the rumored casting of Jesse Plymins and Jody Comer. I think you make that announcement here if it's really happening. But where do you do that? At whatever panel they have. Do they have a panel? No, no, no, they don't. That's the whole point. That's nonsense.

That's stupid. I didn't bring it up. normally there's not a main panel they always have a main panel for the movie usually a main panel for like the future of the movies and things yeah maybe they learn from their lesson or like we all those movies they're gonna announce who know how many of them actually even happen but um but no it doesn't seem like they're gonna have a kathleen kennedy's like celebration panel that seems odd to me that they wouldn't give her some kind of panel for her to sit there and get you know her butt kissed for what she did because she's really leaving

Yeah, but she says she's not leaving. She's not true. Well, she says they've got a, yeah, but you know what that means. You know the code of language. Of course, but that's a public event to where they're going to tell us the truth. Of course not. That's what I mean, dude. They don't have anything out there.

People are flying out to Japan to go, look, if you're going, this is what I say about Star Wars Celebration. Star Wars Celebration as far as being a fan to go to Star Wars Celebration is, probably the best con out of all of them. A hundred percent. It's an amazing experience if you're a fan. Because the way that I always looked at it is when you go to Comic-Con, let's say San Diego Comic-Con, for example,

and you are a DC Marvel Star Wars fan, right? Those are your three things that you love. You're going to walk on the floor and you turn to your left, oh, this is Star Wars booth. And then you'll turn it right in and you see something that's not related to that at all. And then another one that's not related to that all. and then some something else is not related. So over here, so DC, okay.

And then you look and there's something not related. It says everything. Star Wars is just Star Wars. It's just Star Wars. Yeah. Everywhere you go. Star Wars here, Star Wars there, Star Wars everywhere. It's Star Wars.

So like if you're massive Star Wars head, it's the, it's a great fan experience. Yeah. It is lackluster recently when it comes to what Comic-Con have been known for in the business for delivery. That's the, that's the, that's, the thing that, you know, we're going to be talking about. It's going to be, it's going to be a big nothing burger as far

as, you think? For news, nothing. The only news you're going to, like I said, you're going to get, everyone will be talking, and this is what they want. Everyone will be talking about Mandalorian and Grogoo, the trailer. That's on Friday. Yeah. That's right. That trailer will drop on Friday, the two-minute

teas. Yeah. Everyone will be discussing that, and that's what they need. That's what they want right now. The Sean Levy stuff and other things, I just don't think it happens. Yeah, you have an and or panel on Saturday, an Asoka panel on Saturday. Screening of the Siege of Mandalore. Yeah, on Sunday, it's visions and animation.

I mean, the only place, it seems that you would announce any kind of film stuff would have to be the Mando and Grosu panel if you're going to do it, because no other panel of the main panels lends themselves to a feature film conversation, none of them. So, yeah. Hmm, interesting. Someone said they don't think they're going to release this trailer. If you do a panel for Mandelaar and Grover and you don't release a two-minute trailer,

then somebody should be fired. If you don't do a two-minute, like a two-minute teaser, you don't release that, then someone should be fired. There's now a five-minute, like full-on story trailer, then I agree. Then I don't think they're going to do that either. I think they'll probably do them like two minutes. This is it. This is coming out next year.

It's almost like about, it's about a year before the movie will be coming out. They usually always put a teaser up about a year beforehand. Yeah. For sure. So, yeah, I don't, I don't know, man. I just don't, as far as Mandolin and Grogu, yeah. Like, oh, yeah, by the way, we're also doing this movie. And here's Sean Levy.

It's like, what, like, you know how much of a bummer that would be if I've John Favro? I'm like, I don't want people talking about Sean Levy's movie. I'm talking about my movie. It's a fair point. And it's only an hour-long panel. So, yeah. No, because I said this, I think. I don't know, I don't know what it was on air if it was on the member stream,

but like I it's going to be the same thing you always get at star war celebration when it comes to the panels like and it's not just a star celebration thing it's a it's a comic con everything I I cannot stand the way that they run panels it's just like here comes the host with some bad jokes here comes some stuff and then and here's a cast member yay inside jokes inside jokes hooray inside jokes okay here's a screenshot and it is this and then we're going to show you in the last 56 minutes here's the teaser whoo guess what you want to see it again again oh let's play it again that's the whole thing um and that's what they're gonna do and again

if you're in the room yeah that's fun but if you're you know if you're not uh it's the same one same i know we're just getting old is what it is true we're getting tired of being at the channel they're so exhausting and we've seen the same thing over and over and over again but it's also the magic's gone yeah i know and we see the hosts who are all trying to advance their careers by hosting these things and getting into their jokesy jokes and all of that and we've seen it all like we've seen behind the curtain too many times that it for i think for us it's like not that big of a deal unless they're making massive announcements you know it's true and it's the same way i think that marvel still even though they've been on like up and down right yeah

they still do the best panels oh yeah what even the panel was two three years ago at comic con they did another great panel. They know how to run a panel. They do it in their way. It was bad. Like you said, it was in a downturn. They still had an awesome.

It's a different rhythm. They just have a good rhythm to it. And I think that they, that Star Wars is kind of wrestled on the laurels of, well, it's Star Wars and the magic is gone. The magic is just not there anymore to do that anymore. In 2015, you can do that all day long.

Yeah. People are losing their minds about no matter what you're going to do. You show a screenshot or photo or an image or whatever it might be. People are losing their minds. Now it's like, it's it's it. But you got? And how do we even know that's going to happen? There's this incredible thing because I was reading this morning. I actually just thought of it as you're talking now, Chris.

I was reading this morning how Triple H on the WWE is coming after the fans online. We don't need to listen to the fans. The fans are a small community. They don't know what they're talking about. It's just noise. Celebration is this Friday. WrestleMania is this weekend. And literally no one is talking about it.

No one. And so. Not the way they were last year. You can compare the two things. And you can say both of them are stuck in this idea that the loss of loudness around their product is not, doesn't have anything to do with them. But it actually does. And now they're both being defiant in their own way, Star Wars and WWE that they're just going to keep doing that. You know what?

Because people still show up to our stuff. Therefore, we're doing fine. It's like, no, that's not actually the truth, you know. Yeah, I mean, it's funny. We'll discuss WrestleMania in a second. But I think that for celebration, this is going to be telling to see how they're going to do this. It is also makes me, like, I was never going to go to Japan for it. I want to go to Japan.

I mean, as in Japan in general, but I was never going to go for celebration. It makes me realize because if there's like, okay, there's a lot of news for work-wise that it would have been beneficial for you to do this. It won't be. I think next year will probably be a big one, whether it's Anaheim or whatever it might be, because, going to start kind of building those things out yeah maybe they get the shit together who the hell knows but we'll see celebration are we in the minority or do you guys are you actually really excited for it because the way that people used to be i remember people used to be covering it and talking about it every single day the lead up to celebration i don't even know we're going to cover

it on this show until it's until it's when does it start when does it start it starts friday or thursday is right Thursday or friday whenever it starts we'll we'll talk about it so there you go So put your thoughts in there. Let us know whenever this thing starts, are you going to be watching it? Put your comments in there. Let us know. All right. Listen, we're going to go and we're going to this part.

Sorry, it's Friday. Yeah, Friday, Saturday. That's it. That's going to open up. Okay. All right. Another thing that John mentioned earlier is that WrestleMania is right around the corner. Yeah.

And not a lot of people are talking about. The hype wasn't as big this year as it was last year, even though they're trying to do that with the John Cena. Oh, it hasn't played to that kind of mainstream media, the way that last years did with Roman Reins and Cody and all the build up to it. It doesn't seem that kind of a big build. I would say, John, the only ones I'm interested in seeing so far are the Codes versus Cody versus Coney versus Cina. Punk triple threat with Raines and Rollins.

Yeah. The Bronbreaker match because Bronner is in it. He's electric. That dude, mad man. Yeah. And what am I missing? And Charlotte Flair versus Tiffany now,

because I want to see what the hell happens with that train wreck. Train right. Yeah. So those are the only four matches I really care about. If I fell asleep and didn't wake up to watching those other matches, I don't think I would care. None of the buildups have been good. You know how I feel about the heavyweight championship match.

You might as well have that in my parking. not here from my office. The, even the triple that, Ray Reapley is one of your biggest stars and nobody can't let that match. Yeah. The match has been fumbled all right. Everyone has wanted to see Rhea

versus Bianca. Yeah. But for some unknown reason, they threw in EO in there and nobody cares. I mean, yes, some of the wrestling heads, of course they love EO and EO's an incredible wrestler, of course, not going to deny that, but there's nowhere near the buildup or trauma.

Maria versus Bianca. In the way that they put that off so well with the Royal Rumble. And it's so. Yeah, they just didn't, they just didn't do it, right. In the immortal words of Christian Harlov, this is what I think of WrestleMania. It's basically what it is.

I, but there have been, I'm going to cover it, but I still think it's a bit of work. There have been WrestleMania's with shit cards on paper. True. I've turned out to be good. What I will tell you also is this.

Yeah. If I'm going into that, match, that heavyweight title match, and somehow Jay Uso becomes good on the microphone. And then they start actually have this match where it's not just, and then he kicks him and then he jumps and then he does this and then he kicks him and then he jumps and he super kicks and then he jumps and he super kicks. If that changes. Yeah.

And Gunther can actually, you know, carry that match also and it just make it, oh my God, like really, okay, that was a deserved match. I'll say it the next day on air. with you i'd be like okay look at this this i boy was i wrong you know you never have a problem saying that never if you you know thought something was going to go one way to it the other you're actually pleasantly surprised yeah so i and i hope that i am i want every match to be great of course but but no i'm i'm i'm with you though i don't think anybody's really talking about this right now it wasn't promoted and where's the rock been right has rock promoted this thing has he been

He's been shooting his 824 movie. He doesn't have time to promote it in the way that he should. Has he been on air since the whole scene of thing? Nope. That's crazy. Nope. That's crazy. I know.

I told you from the beginning this heel turn was going to be dog shit. And it's been dog shit. And it's been dog shit from the beginning to now. It'll be dog crap when we get there and they pull whatever they pull. It's terrible. And this is the Netflix endeavoring part. Endeavorin Netflix are destroying the WW. with this populist approach, this star approach,

and they are not doing a good job on the creative side of things, of building these wrestlers up, building these matchups up as consistently. Yes, there are some they're good at doing like the punk reins and Rollins thing, but that's also dealing with the cream of the crop of these three guys who know what to do in that where you give them a phone book, they'll know what to do. But other stuff, you've got to work harder at it, and they're not. And I, to me, it's you're losing the spirit of what,

made WWE great. And I think we're going into corporate WWE ironically. And it's not it's just not coming off as as interesting, organic, or fun as it did in the past. And why are you having... Not having the rock. Not having the rock has been a major error.

Even if you're going to have him Skype in or something and do something because he was the one who organized, the character orchestrated this whole thing. Right. And he hasn't been involved in it. But again, that's the thing. He is busy doing other things. he's going to parachute in when it's convenient for him.

And that's a-R-Messomania. It'll be a WrestleMania, obviously. Of course you'll be there. But that's a corporate endeavor approach. We'll just pop in every once in a while. Then you're not building an organic build. It's a bummer. What do you guys think, man?

You think that WrestleMania can turn it around and you can actually deliver? What will deliver more? What will people be talking about? That or Star Wars celebration? I'm going to go to the rest of it. Put your thoughts in there. Tell us, are you excited. Which matches are you looking forward to seeing?

Do you disagree with us? 100%. Do you think that the build up has actually been tremendous? Are you pumped for this one? Are you going? I want to hear your thought. Let us know exactly what you think about WrestleMania. All right, John, you know, the other thing right now, we stand at around 26 questions, not bad at all.

Six? 26 is great. 26 is great. People, come on. Well, I'm telling you, before, what I've noticed is going into the question around, if you're at like 30, if you're around like 30 to 35, you're in good shape. Yeah. Last week when, and I still haven't told Steph and Mike last week that they won. I forgot.

Oh, congratulations. Yeah, they won last week. I totally forgot. I have to do that when we go out of the air. So yeah, so right now you're at 26. Let's see if they can push you over because you got to, John is always working. It's always, it's tough for John because he starts at Monday and everyone was trying to beat John. So if you can get John to the big number so everyone else has to catch him, I'm sure they appreciate it.

All right. This is the one I want to talk about because you love Harry Potter. I like Harry Potter a lot. And now we finally got some confirmations here. HBO is confirming that the Harry Potter TV shows here are some of those adult roles. HBO has finally officially confirmed the six adult cast, the core of its upcoming HBO TV series based on J.K. Rally's Harry Potter fantasy novels. Pretty much all the names reported so far have now officially been said with Emmy winner

John Lithgow as headmaster Alvis Dumbledore, Oscar nominee Janet McTeer as Transfiguration Professor Minerva McGonical, and Papa Acidio as Potions Professor Severus Snape. Also confirmed from a previous support as Nick Frost as Hogwarts Gamekeeper Rubius Hagrid.

That's great casting, by the way. Great casting. All four will serve as series regulars in the show. Newly revealed are stage actor Luke Thallon as the first season's defense against the dark arts professor of curious quarrel, while Paul Whitehouse landed the role of caretaker Argus Filch, both are recurring roles. Previous HBO remains steadfastly silent on confirming any casting reports for the film. The Lithgow had previously been fairly candid about

his casting and indicated it might be the last role he plays as a 79-year-old is committed to the decade-long plan for the show. Notably, not confirmed or we were rumored, yet are the core quarter of child stars playing Henry, Ron, Hermione, and Draco, or any of the supporting child talent. The team has been viewing between 500 and a thousand auditions per day. Francesca Gardiner, showrunner and executive producer and Mark Myelah, the director of multiple episodes and executive producers say in a statement, we're delighted to have some extraordinary talent on board and we can't wait to see them, bring these beloved characters to new life. Yeah. I never in a million years thought that I would say the following words.

Go ahead. I don't think John Lithgow is the right guy for this. Wow. I love John is one of my favorite actors of all time. There's nothing to do with casting. He's going to be brilliant as Dumbledore. Sure. He's 79 years old and there's 10 years to go. There's 10 years to go. 79 years old.

I'm not talking about just life, you know, being alive. I hope he makes it just 110. Sure. When you get to be 79 years old, 80 years old, each year is like dog years. Yeah. Like dog years. I've seen around people that I love now. And like every year, you just get older and older and older.

And especially you're working all the time. It's a lot, man. It's a lot. Richard Harris, love Richard Harris. Yeah. I wish I could have done at least three, four, films. It didn't happen. We got a good replacement for sure.

But that's tough. And I know Rylance was the guy that they wanted. And then there's personal problems. I think his wife passed and there was personal problems and things. So I get it. I love Lithgow and I'm not going to be like oh I don't believe him is Dumbledore. Of course I am. He's going to be amazing.

Right. You're the best. But I think that on a casting choice, 79 years old for a 10 year show, what do you think? I don't know. Betty White kicked around until she was almost 100. So it is never know. And I think I think 79 is not the 79 of times in the past. And also Richard was a hard drinker.

Like Lithgow is not known for. for being a party and all that kind of stuff. So I think it's a solid cast, because he's been incredible doing British. He was incredible in the Crown. I think he won an Emmy for that for Churchill. So he's able to vacillate between English and American stuff all the time. So I think he fits into the role.

And he'll bring that really vulnerable, vulnerable sensitivity and pathos to the character. So I think he's going to be great, as you said. The concern of the age, I think is a fair concern. I saw some people go, oh, it's ageist. No, you can have the conversation, grow up. And I think it is a concern, but I like it. And I think he'll be, I think he'll make it through the 10 years. And I have a feeling that I should shoot his scenes, like all of his scenes possibly, like ahead of time so that they don't, so they avoid any kind of issues there.

Yeah. He does it too. I mean, 79. And like I said, it's nothing to do with death. It's just a matter of exhaustion. Right. I'm tired now. Yeah, I know you are.

Yeah. And it's like, yeah. And it's like, it's just, it's a lot. it's a lot. I love them, but it's a lot. As far as the other casting goes, let's see. Let's see. I love the Frost. It's a great place. Oh, great. I don't know. I don't know. Everyone else I don't really necessarily know everybody. So we'll, we'll see if they fit the role. We'll see how it plays. But yeah, I think Janet McTeer is a great choice to take over with for Minerva Monago for what, um, uh, the lady from the crown did. A lady from my Delphin Abby. Yeah, Maggie. She's perfect. She'll look kind of, is there. the same relative energy and nice stealingness to her as an actress i've always enjoyed her so she's

she was great in the second season of the old man she was lith gal's wife and that ironically so her first wife and then bringing in papa as you do is going to be a lot of fun to see what happens here because he's a very very solid actor and a lot of people bring it up well what is it going to mean that he's being bullied by harry's dad how is that going to play if that's what they'd go and so there's a lot of interesting concept because he's because he's black Because he's black. And so people are like already losing their minds. I'm like, this is actually exciting creatively.

What can you do to make this work? How are you going to adjust the story? So for me, I'm 100% on board with this because I want to see what they do with it. And he's an incredible actor. So don't give me this. They didn't cast the right actor. Here's a question. I know you well enough that I know the answer is yes.

But I just want to ask this anyway, though, too. Sure. Because I don't know. I don't know, my bill, would be an absolutely incredible actor. And after the first episode, I say to you, great choice for Stanbis exactly what he's doing perfect right the question i have for people though too is this is more so for i guess the the left side of the aisle too right is that if he's not good let's say he's a bad actor okay i know you would say i think i i know you would say look the performances

is not good yeah don't you think a lot of people won't i don't know but by the same token what's the well maybe some people won't because they want him to succeed but by the same token they'll be just as many people on one side criticizing his acting. I couldn't agree with you more, right? Because they've won 100%. Yeah, yeah. You can't win. You can't win on either way. So my my my fingers crossed is that the guy's just so damn good because it doesn't matter if you're if you're black, white, Chinese, Latino, you're still following in the footsteps. Alan Rickman. So like you're following in the footstep Alan Rickman. So like you're following in the plus of Alan Remy. So that's not an easy job for anybody.

Right. Anybody. It doesn't matter. So he's a classically trained Shakespearean actor. He was in that I May Destroy You series that was on HBO that was very beloved gangs of London. He's awesome in gangs of London if you're not watching that series. And he was just in black dubs and a couple episodes of Black Dubs, that good Kira Knightley show. So the guy has a lot of experience. He's a very, very good actor in multiple types of shows. So, but not a lot of theatrical features where he is really the focus. So this is going to be a step up.

But that's good, though, also because if you don't know him, and this is his kind of coming out party of going, well, who's that? You're going to recognize him as Snape. And you're going to go, whoa, because I always use Katie Sackoff an example here, right? The pushback that she got at, and this is back in 2000. Oh, yeah. And it wasn't, when it wasn't woke everything, woke everything,

people screaming about woke everything. It was, this is 2002, people were pissed that a woman was going to be Starbucks. Pissed until they saw her. Yeah. Until they saw her and they saw her. And they saw her, they were like, oh, okay. And I went away really fast. Yeah.

Again, because we're not in that time period anymore, what you said earlier, it won't just go away if he's good because they'll still be a certain sect that just wants to complain about it. But then there'll be other people who maybe were like, okay, why are we doing this? Are we just doing this because the guy's black? and then they see him and they go, no, he was cast because he's fucking awesome. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, that's that's the hope, right? 100%. Yeah, 100%.

Yeah, and you want that to be. And I wish we would go back to that where we, well, we're okay, we can have our reactions, legitimate reactions, and then we see and we wait until it comes out. And when it comes out, then we have an accurate analysis and reaction to what's happening. And yeah, if you're wrong about it, you admit it. And if you're right about it, you know, but like there are too many people investing on both sides. As you said, on both sides, too many people are invested in their narratives and nothing will shake them from it because they're making money off of it. That's fandom right now, dude.

That's just fandom in general. All right. What do you guys think, man? You like the cast so far of Harry Potter? Are you on board? Do you think it's going to work? Are you excited for the series? Let's say you put your thoughts in there.

We want to get everyone's thoughts. And really, let us know. All right. So we're going to move over. Oh, and I want to let people know, actually. we um we started a uh we well i started a while ago but i started a clips channel oh yeah and it's the christnarl off clips channel and for a while it was just kind of the interviews that i was doing um and i would clip out the interviews themselves yeah but um now we're clipping out this show every day there's probably about five five or six clips from all the topics we're doing so if you miss this show and you don't get a chance to see it live or you don't have time to watch the full episode you can go and you can watch the whole thing now and we've and that has carried over. There's a lot of people that have been transferring that over and going to subscribing to it. More people are watching those clips. Luke, if you're watching, if you would

post the actual link in the comments for people to check that out, that'd be amazing. Do your job, Luke. Luke does his job better on this channel than I do. Luke is, Luke and PLD or damn saviors on this. Oh, cut it out. I'll give you, I'm not going to give you a PEOC. Give me Luke, but not appeal to date. All right, fair. Anyone that's go around and sleep through their job. Come on.

Oh, man. All right. This is the last thing that I want to bring up, because I love this story so much. Puss and Boots. Yeah. How it influenced sinners. Milemaker Ryan Cougar has revealed a surprising inspiration

for his upcoming period horror film Sinners, none other than DreamWorks Animation, 2022 animated feature, Puss and Boots, The Last Wish. Speaking on Straw Hat Goofy's Movies' Movie Channel, Cougar asked the host

if he's seen the Puss sequel before confirming it was a massive influence on sinners. The host, they don't even give Juju some credit. Come on. Come on. That's horrible. The host. Juju has said, he asked him Puss and Boots on Cougar responds. Yeah,

think about the villain. Think about his defining features to which the host responds. Oh, the eyes. Oh, my God. To which Cougar enthusiastically nods reaffirming then continues with think about his demeanor. He adds that his go-to-board artists Luis Gonzalez worked at Pixar for almost 20 years and on other films like the Iron Giant because also reportedly boarded around 80% of sinners.

Making nearly five times its budget at the box office after a slow start, Puss and Boots, The Last Wish received acclaim upon release is one of the best works to come out of DreamWorks animation with the 95%. Yeah. Keep part of that was Wagner Morris White Wolf antagonist who was the embodiment of death. Complete with sinister whistle, red eyes, and twin sickles. The character was fierce and required an eerily calm, otherwise resulting in a villain that generally got under the skin.

Whether the sinners villains can live up to that, we'll have to wait and see with 45 reviews counted. The film is sitting on an astonishing 100% on rotten tomatoes. This is a perfect example of what we were just talking about before, John. Because I'll tell you, I saw the movie and I loved it. It's my favorite movie of the year thus far in a young year. And one of the dumb comments I got was like, oh, the only reason this guy is saying,

because a black director did it and he doesn't want to be look on as, as war as anti-woke or whatever too and i'm like jesus it's ryan coogler the guy is it's it's such a good movie it's such a good movie and the way ryan cougler does this entire thing from the music being a character and now that i hear this yeah this quote i can definitely see it um jack o'connell is excellent as as the villain excellent and plays this and plays this very similar to this and i wouldn't be of Ryan Cougler told him, go watch Puss and Boots. What great note that would be to get from Ryan Cougler. If anyone, you're like, I watch, should I watch like,

Nosephratu? Should I watch like, you know, what should I watch? But watch Puss and Boots. What? Yeah, watch Puss and Boots. I'd be like, all right. If Ryan Cougar is telling me that, I'm like, yeah, watch Puss and Boots, tell me what I'm watching. But what do you think about these comments? This is, this is great.

You know who should be going crazy about this right now? Who? Fan animator in the comments. Yeah, yeah. Notts. Animation's not for kids. Animation's not for kids. Because clearly, Ryan Coogler made this not for kids. Yeah. By the way, I love the fact that he's reverencing Wagner more.

Wagner, a really good actor, Civil War. And right now he's in Dope Thief, that really awesome show on Apple TV. So shout out to him. No surprise because that voiceover work he did is essential to really getting across the character that he did in that Puss and Boots film. along with the animation. So it's no surprise that Ryan saw that and it was an inspiration for what they were doing. And his go-to board artist there, Louis Gonzalez, what he was doing to evoke that. So to me, that's a great thing to see.

And look, you get inspiration from where you get inspiration. It doesn't mean he's doing an animated film. He's doing a film that has some real residence from what I see from the trailer. So the fact that he's got this approach to it with the villain and making this kind of connection. It's kind of a fun thing to add to the hype for this movie. Because remember, initially there were some not the best notices coming out of the initial screenings, but everything in Vince has been really positive. So I can't wait to see it myself tonight.

You're going to love this. I bet. I think it's some of Michael B. Jordan's best work in quite a while. And I think he's doing great stuff. RB3 is going to be real mad to hear about that. I think he's come around on Michael B. Jordan. Has he? Yeah, I think so.

The last time he spoke to him. I think he came around on a lot. I remember which movie it was. but I don't think he's as tough on him as he used to be. But I think he's so good in this. And he has to really be able to, you have to be able to believe that both twins are different people. And I think he doesn't make the job of that.

I also think Ryan Cooghue does an excellent job of being able to make sure that you know that it's different people. Right, right. It's just, it's a movie. I said to myself, I always say to myself, you know, there's some movies like you said,

like warfare, which I didn't see, but it's just not built for rewatch. It's not built for it. It doesn't speak in the quality of the movie. It's just not built for emotionally to go through that again, right? The brutal. Yeah.

There's other movies that are built for rewatches that you just don't want to rewatching it. Because you're like, it's just not a good movie. This movie is the opposite of that. This to me is like, I can't wait to watch this again. I still think that the trailers give away way too much. Did you see the second trailer? I did. Yeah, with what's your story.

I don't, yeah, I don't want to spoil it for anybody because it gives away way too much. Like I was waiting for the stuff to see in the trailer that I saw because they set you up in a way that you're like, you're not supposed to know it. I saw the trailer, so I knew it. And I'm like, damn it. But it doesn't take away from how good the movie is. So there you go. All right. Puss and boots.

The inspiration for this movie. Isn't that great? I love that story. You like the story as much as I do, as much as John does? What say you? Put your thoughts in there. Tell us exactly what you think about it. All right.

John, let's get to these questions. man. Let's do it. We are at just an hour into the show. 39 questions already, my friend. I think that's pretty good. I think you're trying to hit 100 to set it because Roxy comes in tomorrow. Roxy's always a heavy hitter. Oh, yeah, I didn't even ask you. Want to host again on Wednesday?

Sure. Let's say tentatively yes. It's you and Kalinowski. It would be just the two of you guys. Really? Yeah. I would love to host with Kalinowski. It's been forever. Yeah. So maybe you and Kalinowski, most likely, will be on Wednesday, depending if John's schedule permits. Thursday will be Steph and, no, just me and Steph, and then Friday will be the Caps and Cows, gentlemen. So, John, before we get into the questions,

let me set it up, what are you going on on the channel, man? Hey, man, head on over to the Outlaw Nation. YouTube.com slash John Roka says, did my reaction, my quick reaction, is about 10-minute reaction to the Last of Us season two, episode one premiere last night. We'll have a spoiler review later today with The Geek buddies, along with a couple of the topics when we talk about,

hot mic coming up this week as well on Thursday. And the hot mic is, I mean, subscribe to the channel just for the hot mic, for God sakes.

We'll see. there's more to come there on that side of the Jedi way will be this week previewing and or talk about Star Wars celebration so there's a lot there's a lot coming down the pike so head on over there plus my reviews reactions and trailers YouTube.com slash John Roka says please oh check it out please and thank you everybody and thank you everybody who has donated thus far what kind of questions are we're going to get let's see we're going to start with Doug developer who says

I want to recommend the new black mirror especially the geology starting Batman Jamani. Do you know, yeah. Yeah, do you know he's Batman? In the Monde fucking Batman! I love that we set up for that. And he says it's about past relationships, and it'll guarantee to destroy Roka. Oh, wow. All right.

I hear three things about Black Mirror. I've never watched it. I heard it's great, though. I've only ever watched like two or three of them, like separate stories. I hear you can just watch them because they're not like, they're not connected, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Twilight Twilight Zone type thing.

Kind of, I think, yeah. So I can't wait. I'll watch Eulogy for sure. Yeah, it sounds good. I mean, I saw people promoting it for sure. Outer with a, well, why isn't this? Uh-oh. How's going on?

Oh, there we go. There we go. Okay. Outer becomes a new member. Thank you, Outer. We've got a bunch of new members. And I'm going to be doing finally this week, because last week, and I was in the city on my day where I usually post all the reactions unedited.

I'll be able to do it this week for sure. Hank Pym, yee, it's many a week, boys, and my shorts are getting tighter. Top three matches that you guys are looking forward to. For me, it's the two triple threats and Tiffy time. In order, I would say the number one is, the number one for me is the triple threat with punk and reins. Number two is Cody and Sina. And number three is the brawn breaker. I think I go with the triple threat with Ria, IEO and Bianca, because I think it's going to be highly,

level wrestling. It may not have been great in the promotion, but wrestling's going to be great. Yeah, I agree with that. Who is, is, is what, is, is Drew McIntyre even in WrestleMania? Oh, good question. I think he is. You know, and you don't know. How do you not know? I know. Logan Paul is apparently in a, with AJ Styles, which makes no damn sense at all. He better win. Which one? Which one? Paul. Oh, Paul. Paul better win. I love AJ Styles. One of my favorites, maybe, like, one of the best in wrestlers, who are in ring wrestlers

in a very long time. He doesn't need to beat Logan Paul. Oh yeah. McIntyre's fighting Damian Priest in the Sin City Street fight. There you go. I don't think that excites you that much. I'm raising my hand.

Yes, go ahead, yes. I have a question. Yes. Who cares? You in the bag. Who cares about that match? Who cares? Damien Priest and Drew Magintar, I think.

Who cares? Mad Sinister McHalp. Best Snyder, 50% of people who saw warfare or death is it that is a loud movie it is a loud movie yeah uh golden calling what's up man solid uh weekend at the cinema drop followed by the amateur this week warfare with the accountant too i am seeing uh count two tomorrow and i could be more excited um matt sarah is having gavin o'connor on his on the show that's great here next week um i i i'm so excited for that film.

I can't believe I didn't put that in my anticipated movies. I want to go back and look at what my anticipated movies were, and that should have been there. That should have been there. But yes, you caught, yeah, the movies are starting to pick up, and then we got Thunderbolts. Very soon. I haven't gotten my invite yet, but I hope it's coming.

No, I'll be coming soon. Mark Long, he's Caucasian, Caucasian, yeah, you know, a white guy, a mustache. About 5'10, that's an awfully big mustache. What are I missing? What's that from? Is that from Monopoly? It might be police squad.

Yeah, I don't know. Maybe. Or maybe it's Val and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Is it? Maybe. But it now makes me sad that I don't know it. Mike Joyce, Christian, after seeing warfare, fulfilling your Cosmo Jarvis impression, will go from, Where is My Boat to Where Is My MetaVac?

My Boat. Don't ruin things. Is he in the movie? Yeah, he's in the movie. He plays a big part in the film. Okay. I love that guy. Great.

Where's my boat? I'm here. I need my boat. Sean McCabe. Hey, Christian and John, what's up, Sean? Always good to see. I saw Warfare Saturday. I was in Baghdad at the same time in 06, and this film was as accurate as can be. Wow. That's great.

Pretty damn accurate, huh? Wow. Yeah, I know. I hear nothing but great things about this movie. I cannot, now it's such fomo on it that I missed it. So, what's about Buster Barnes. I'm seeing some people online say Superman has bad marketing. Can someone tell me a summer release that's had better marketing so far this year?

Yeah, I don't agree with that. It's like, that was the other thing we didn't discuss yet. I guess we could talk about now. There's other news about TV. When are we getting this new trailer? You're in the know and this hot mic stuff. When are we getting this new trailer? I have not heard when we're going to get this new trailer.

We got the sneak peek and the sneak peek kind of divided people. So I don't know if they're trying to rush out another trailer just yet. The rumors were that they shaved 20 minutes off the previous screenings of Superman with the new screening. So are they still kind of tinkering with it? I don't know, a lot of questions. I know that I have a friend or a connection, rather, who told me that there was, he heard from a couple of people in the know about the BFX stuff that Jeff was talking about,

that that's still an issue for gun, that he's having issues with a couple of VFX people still. So it's like, they're still trying to put. What do you mean, like what kind of issues? Like throwing stuff across the room saying, I wanted to look like that, make it look like that, that kind of stuff. Oh, wow. Okay.

Okay. Interesting. Okay. Well, we'll see. I do think we're going to get a trailer sooner than later because the movie's coming out in July. We don't even... Yeah, maybe the trailer washes the sneak peep stuff. We need a second trailer. Because what the second trailer, and this is what people just say, well, you just say you don't like the trailer. It gives away too much. Don't give away too much. The second trailer does need to tell you what your story is.

It's always been how it works. The first one is to say, I never understood when people see a teaser and go, I don't know what it's about. It's not the point of the first trailer. It's a point to let you know that the movie coming out. And they show you images and everything, too. The second trailer is the story trailer. It's like, okay, now that you are aware of this movie,

this is what it's about. Yep. And we haven't had that yet. I don't know what this movie's about. I know there's a dog in it. Yeah. But I don't know. That's all I know.

I know there's a dog in it. And Lois is in it. But what's it about? So maybe what people are saying that it has bad marketing. I don't think it's had bad marketing. I just don't think that the marketing, look, we could change that opinion if we're in June and we still don't have a freaking,

an idea of what this movie's about. And there's still no marketing behind it. But there's like a, you're going to see a heavy push in marketing by the time we get to July. I don't, I think it's premature to say it's bad marketing. We're about, I mean, Superman Day is right around the corner as well. So there's a lot to still come. When is that? When is Superman Day?

It's 18, the 18th. Of April? Yeah. So you probably get the trailer then. Yeah, maybe. Yeah. Uh, go pal. I'm still blown away by Mobland.

I'm only three episodes in. It's amazing. How much has happened without feeling anything is rushed. So I started the show with Sadie and the only reason we turned it off because we were exhausted and nothing to do with the show itself. The show's awesome so far. We got about half an hour in it. It's really, really good. Yeah, we stupidly forgot

that it was dropped last night, a new episode, so we're catching up. We're watching dark winds. We're finishing off dark winds, so we got caught up in that, but like the new season, but so we're going to finish off the third episode tomorrow. And I'm, I've been emailing for a week to Paramount Plus to try to get the person in charge of the publicity so I can get those episodes and

watch them early, but the man, it's tough. It's tough. Um, free pancakes. CloudBrain's the disease. Anything for likes? What that means? I don't know what that means. I know what that means. Um, okay.

So let's see. Next one. And let's, that is going to be from our good friend, Spall for Time. Go pal. There we go. I saw Y2K on Max over the weekend.

I found it fun. I found it fun. It's not great. And I'd rather someone other than Fred Durst, but I love the music. And it was nice to the kid from Metal Lord's got another lead. Which one is that? Is that the one with? Yeah, Rachel Zegler.

Oh, okay. Yes, yes, yes. I was very lucky. I got a chance to interview Kyle Mooney and the other co-director on the film on my channel just a few weeks ago. And they were very fun, great interviews on there if you want to watch it. And yeah, the film is fine. The film is fun. It's not great. It's not really a well-constructed film. It's just fun. So if you want to watch something that reminds you of being a 2000s kid when the thing changed over, then definitely watch it. It's worth it on Max.

Um, okay. Yeah, I heard some, I heard some interesting stuff about it. Derek the Duller, I effing hope it doesn't make one billion depressing. Yeah, well, you're going to be depressed because it's going to make a billion. It's definitely going to make a billion. Let's see. Next one. Thank you again for everybody who is donating and asking questions. Go, pal.

They had a Edwin McCain needle drop, which is fitting because I don't think I've ever heard that song since 99. Was that for in Mobland? Yeah, I know in, I think it was in Y2K. Oh, okay. Because it was that changeover. Oh, I see. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 47 right now, John.

Thank you. Five minutes left. Doing well. Oh, well. Chris Koston, either are you going to see Revenge of the Sith re-release in theaters, hope your Monday's good so far. Probably not for John, because he's not a big prequel guy, but not.

It's probably pretty great and re-release in the theater now. Probably be a lot of fun. It's so hard for me to go out. Like, if I don't go to a screening, I never catch movies out in the theater anymore. It's smart for me to do. Even harder now in New York than it was in L.A., because there's a couple different theaters over here that are okay, but it's usually the city ones that I'll go to.

Yeah. Yeah, that's it. Sometimes I go and it's the land of the Walking Dead. And so that really kind of unsettles me when I go to theaters because people are coughing or talking or whatever. So even this Saturday, I had to drag myself to warfare. I had to drag myself to warfare, but I'm glad I did because it was a really good watch. Okay, good.

I'm glad that you had a good time at least. Oh, that was a good move. I'm glad it was a good move. Mike Joyce. Thoughts on John Ham's career post-Madman, even though I liked him on Saturday Live. It feels like he tries too hard to be funny. I don't know.

I think he's pretty funny. I didn't watch his new show. My wife started watching the show. Your friends and neighbors? The new one? Yeah, is it good? I hear it's good. I haven't watched it.

Yeah, no, I think he's pretty damn good. And I actually do think he's pretty funny and he doesn't, I don't agree with the trying to be funny thing. No, I mean, Landman, he was not trying to be funny in Landman. And he was excellent landman. So I think Cam, Brad interviewed him recently. Brad Gilmore had a nice interview with him recently. And like when he laid out the stuff John's been doing over the last,

recently over the last few years, he's really been moving up the chain. And I was excellent in bridesmaids too, by the way. Yes. Yes. Very fun. Nathan Drake. Cosmo Jarvis was also in warfare, but he was great. But I think about it was Christian's impression.

When you see me, I will be on my boat. On my boat. That's it on the boat. Bobby Jackson. What's up, Bobby? Hey, John, I love how you break down TV show. Do you rewatch episodes and how long does it take? People check out his very thorough TV reviews by himself and discussions with the geek buddies, great stuff. Do you hire Bobby Jackson to do some marketing for you?

You had better marketing than Superman. Thank you, Bobby. No, I do the rewatch for the reviews, but not for the immediate reactions like Kristen does. He just got to be pure. And you know, you and I have been doing this for a while. Kristen obviously way longer than me, so he's much more incisive in what he does. I just free form talk about the stuff and things pop up and, you know,

but I appreciate it, Bobby, it's very kind of. Thank you. I'm very part of those. Really good. Chris Kosson, always wanted to know this.

Who are you guys favorite Star Wars characters? Luke, Leia, Obi-Wan, Han, and Cassian. Palpatine is one of my favorites. Handsdown. Bader. Bader, for sure. Luke. Han Solo.

Yes. I'm trying to think of some of the other ones that are I do like Cassian. Yeah, Cassian's been pretty great. Should we? Because Cassian has been not, if he was only in Rogue One, right. He's kind of by, by Ginerso.

That's her movie. I'm trying to think of any, there's so many different other characters that. I mean, can you include animated stuff? I mean, I assume so. But Canaan Choir is pretty great. I mean, if you go into Darth Bain, the books and other things too so those are some plague is another one i think it's to me is the

is the best villain that they've had it they've used her mind instead of him peeking around a cave like and yoddha and yoda of course yeah yeah and yorek derrick the dullard will you ever review severance two on your channel nah i'm not i mean we talked about it with roxy on on the channel like the thing is this is the thing how you two works now if it's one of these things if members this is something that would be open to doing if members are like hey really love to see a uh a review for us us for Severin season two i would do something like that for members the show's been out for a bit and i and i i i was taught the lesson pretty quick when i tried to do squid game reactions and reviews and it ate a big pile of dog shit um that i'm not gonna i did there's no point to do that

because it's like no one will watch that if i do that now no one watch it honestly when when it's there's certain shows and even even last of us right last of us is a major show there's just certain things that people aren't watching people talk about. Like, yesterday's thing did fine. I think when there's big moments that happen, people will be tuning in. But there's certain things and certain shows, people just don't tune in to reviews, reactions, and those types of things. And several students wouldn't be one of those things.

Yeah, yeah. Chris Koss, and last one for me today. Christian, you and your co-host have been super helpful for me in the past few months since life has been really rough for me. Thank you for all you guys do. God bless. I can't tell you how humbling comments like that always are. And I'm glad that we can bring a smile to people's faces,

especially when you're going through some stuff in life. So if that's the case and we were able to do that, then Chris, thank you for being honest about it. We even did something like that. That's great. Chris, I'm,

you know, I'm not in the gaggle of co-hosts. I am John. So you say Christian, Roka and the other co-hosts. There, 100%. He's right.

He's right. Forka, 47. I think after Avatar, the most likely to make a billion is Zootopia, too. How inside out how inside out two and Mawanna to do with the first one being a billion dollar film it has to be considered 100% it should be fair totally absolutely should be considered um yes i completely forgot jotopia two was even coming out but that's not that's not because of anything except oh yeah so another big one that's coming out um that movie will do very well when does it come out though uh near the end of december or near the end of november december near the end that's the only thing that's the only reason um

You go, I don't know, that's tough. But then Moana 2 came out around the same time in that area. So back in the day, I remember, do you know that before the Force Awakens, there was never, and people don't realize this, there was never a movie in December that ever opened up at $100 million. Right. Before that movie. Yeah. That's where the art films went.

December, the Oscar films were on. Yeah. Now it's like a second, now it's like a second summer season. So, see. I am Jacks 12. Okay, Roca, Wheel of Time Updates, Season 3, finale this week. Have you ever seen the show? No, I've not seen the show.

Sorry, I'm Jacks. Yeah. People love that show. I know. Really too. Let's see. Julian Ramos. Sorry if somebody asks this.

I'm listening on a delay, but what are your WrestleMania predictions? For the whole entire card? Or matches in particular? I got, no one, actually, we haven't talked about predictions. I say I think they're going to do a stupid thing now because I think they're playing it up too much that

that punk and Amen are together unfortunately I don't think Heyman's going to go with punk anymore I think he should Yeah But unfortunately I don't because they're playing it up so much That I think that he's going to wind up

sticking with Roman and probably costing punk the match He's going to be a punk's corner That was the favor but yeah I think he's going to turn on punk He's going to turn on punk and I think that's That to me is that sucks I would like him to be with punk, but he's not. So Raines will probably win that one.

I think Sina should and will win the title from, if you want to tell a good story, that's, that's how you do it. Otherwise, you're just, otherwise, you're just, otherwise, Sina's wasted for the rest of the year. What are you going to have him do? He just lost to, and it also builds up Cody. If he's got to win back the titles. So I see Rhea wins the title back.

Yes. And then they set up a feud with Bianca finally. hopefully um i hate i hope charlotte doesn't win she probably will um and let's see what and brawn will bron will win unless they're going to start building him up to start getting you know yeah the heavyweight title thing um i think you get if i think if you have uh punk if if paul hamann turns on punk that would be amazing because then paul who has been punk's biggest supporter turning on punk at you think he should turn yeah turn on him And then just, that's how you turn punk into a mega baby face is that you have Heyman turn on him.

And you have Seth Rollins? You have punk and Raines feud. I don't know what you do with Rollins. No, but I'm saying, should you have punk go with Rollins? Oh, maybe. The irony twist. Those two becoming a tag team, like that would be super interesting as well. But that you could play it that way.

The other one, if Sina loses, which I think is a very real possibility, because this has been a wet fart of it's a yield turn. you have the rock come out and whip Sina like he whipped Cody and Cody comes out to save him and now Sina realizes the error of his ways and everybody forgets the ever turned heel because it's so terrible right now. I just don't see the logic working out in a way that makes sense right now. The stone cold show up, you think? There's a lot of rumors.

A lot of rumors that issue up. It's in Vegas, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah, so he probably has a shot. Julian Ramos also, I think that the buildup has been lackluster. Agreed, Julian. Yeah, I agree. Javier Ray.

So you guys going to have, do predictions with Chris Van Vleet. So I reached out to Chris about it. I think if I do one, it might be like a pre-tape that I release. I do want to get a show going eventually with John and Chris on a show. I just don't know if it's going to be this one. So Francisco says, are you going to do a prediction for 41 with Van Vleet? I'm going to reach out to Chris today and see if I can do a pre-tape with them and put that. It probably won't be live.

plus I don't know he just reached a million subscribers on his clips channel that's amazing he's the best there's there are people that you root for in life because it's just you know good people he's just a good human being and I root for him all the time I spend sometimes I'll spend like 20 minutes watching his shorts yeah yeah yeah you too they're having a meal just watching the shorts because he gets great answers

from he's brilliant he's brilliant I really like Chris a lot he's a good guy the last of us season two is from Tim Sim off to a strong start even though changes were made from second game immediately a buddy of mine who was half on the divide that did not like the second game said to me this is already an improvement interesting see i don't know that well i'm i consciously made a choice this time tim to not play the game because of what everyone told me that there's so many different changes to the game this time because the first season is very similar to the game so i didn't think i'd be spoiled or anything i'm not touching the game until after the season's

over i don't want to i don't want anything to i don't want to learn anything yeah yeah um did you play the game for both? No, I've never played the game nor will. This is all done. Then I'll play the games. Yeah, yeah. EWAC, most likely best pitch or not? Sinners or warfare? Oh, man. See, I didn't see. Well, I, how do you say? You didn't see synergies? That's good. Both. How about this? Both? I can't. I have no answer because I didn't see warfare. But I don't think, well, best picture or not, I don't think sinners will get a best picture. I don't think. I don't think there's a shot that it gets paid. I just don't. I just

think the because it is it's as much of a great character well-written movies it is still vampire movie yeah and they're not going to they're not going to nominate a crazy vampire move um warfare maybe i don't know i don't know how the acting is i don't know how everything else is i don't know uh so i would say maybe warfare because i just don't think there's a world where the academy nominates a crazy vampire movie yeah um dancing dog 60 i agree with christian cast slightly younger and have the man wear older makeup. I love Lithgow, but a Royal Shakespeare actor could play the role.

Yeah, I mean, it's, look, I love Lithgow. I'm not complaining that they cast John Lithgow is the actor. The guy is an amazing, amazing actor. I'm just worried that, you know, my mother-in-law is in her, Lori, she just fell again, just fell recently, you know, and she's like, and she's doing better now, but like, it happens. Yeah. It happens, and she's 82.

You know, it's like, so it's, it just, Yeah, it's it's tough. It's tough. Dancing Dog 60. Casting Harry and the kids are the key. I mean, that's, that is very, very true. It's crazy to me. This is supposed to start shooting in the summer, and we have not heard one bit of casting of the main kid leads.

No, good. Protect them at all cost. Protect them at all cost. Don't tell them at all costs. And do not, Daniel Radcliffe and all those kids, as much as they were bombarded with press, and everything to once they were cast they were protected because there was no social media around right right so at the time when they were cast there was no rumors anything these kids are going to be

famous before they're even yell action yeah and you know it's protect these kids at all cost um if they're not all white god forbid what happens so yeah you're going to get the percy jackson situation yeah right exactly poor girl uh go pal just saw emma darcy was cast in the cruise in or at to movie the cast of murders a row have you heard it all what's going what it's going to be what it's going to what it's going to be about no and i don't want it nope it's one of those movies i don't need to know and yes you're right emma darcy man the work that emma darcy puts in on house of the dragon is just out of control so good so good so good at work for sure Aaron john tell christian he would love taskmasker i see your friends in that show definitely great to discover funny moments

you know what that is no You know what it is. So not a great endorsement. You see my friends in that show? What friends do I have on Taskmaster? I don't know what that is. Yeah. Oh, sorry, Aaron.

If it's the British show, Aaron, I don't have any friends who are British comedians. So I don't know. Tim Sim. Hey. Right now you're 53. I don't know what happened. We're pushing and then they stop. Tim Sim, as for WrestleMania this weekend, thought buildup was good, but inconsistent.

So not good. If it's inconsistent, it's not good. Anyway, sorry, go ahead. Well, no, but he said some of it was good. I mean, I think it's what he meant. Some of it was good. Okay. Two matches that could steal the show are both triple threat.

Yes. As far as wrestling goes, Tim, I don't disagree. Which WrestleMania matches are you interested in? I think we kind of discussed the ones that we were interested in the most. But I think those are, I think John and you are right. I think that the triple threat for the ladies, the wrestling could be out of control at that one. It would be really, really good.

I just don't know if I care about the story at all. I don't think. I think Bianca Bel Air might be one of the best in-ring talents that they have. I think she's very weak on the microphone. Like she has not been, and they've been booed with her recently too, and they're trying to get her over as a face. She's just not,

she's not strong on the mic. I think she, the difference between her and say like a Jay Uso is I think that she has more of the possibility to grow. I think she can get better on the mic. I don't think Jay, I think Jay is Jay. He's just going to do his thing.

Dancing Dog 60. Thoughts on a British SNL? Does that mean, are they doing a British SNL? Yeah, it's debuting soon. I'm surprised that they didn't do that years ago. What are they doing 50 years later? Does that mean that there can be a U.S. Monty Python or Benny Hill? Imagine how problematic Benny Hill would be today.

Yeah, for sure, Penny Hill. Anyway, when did they announce that? Just a couple weeks ago that they were doing it. I mean, it's been in motion, but they're, they announced a couple of weeks. Lauren Mike was a producer? Yes, he is one of the producers. But no, it doesn't mean there'll be a US money bother. But the thing that's confusing to me is that this country only has like SNL.

There's not, there's no in living color anymore. There's no mad TV anymore. Yeah. But with Britain, they have a lot of comedy panel shows, comedy sketch shows. I'm just going to say. It's surprising that they would need an SNL. No, but. The thing is, it's not a matter of needs.

Like, what if it's better? Better than the American one? Yeah. That's very possible. What was better? And the other question is, yeah, because it's, you know, it's a UK, does that mean that it just has to have UK stars? Like, who's promoting their stuff?

Is that mean that you can get major stars doing the stuff over there? Yeah, maybe. Maybe it's better. It's quite possible. Maybe they have funnier people. Better writers. I don't know. According to Jeff, Jeff says he's never seen a,

funny British comedian. That's what he's going on nuts. It's out of his mind. hilarious. Ewaq, favorite Nikki Kat? This is my favorite question ever. Like, whoever asked about a favorite Nicky Cat performance? Inc. That's great. Whoever asked that, mine is a lymie. Dazing confused. I'm a little smoking marijuana motherfucker.

Well, you know why he's asking, right? You do know, right? No, why? What? He committed suicide over the weekend, but he took his own life. What? Yeah. What? Yeah, it just came out. He came out, and he died. And it came out.

No. No. It's in deadline this morning. Family confirms that in April 8th, he was. Oh, fuck that. I know. I know, brother. No. Yeah, he battled depression for a long time, apparently.

Oh, man. That's fucking horrible. Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that. I really did not know. Yeah. Oh, I love Nick. I know, dude. Now it's even more of a great question, EWalk.

Oh, man. So many of great Richard Link Letter films, Oh, yeah. Even in the city, that small role he added in the city with the other idiot there when they get shot with the arrows. He was just so good. I remember Way of the Gun. That's the first time I ever saw him in anything and thought he was also in when I worked at Silver. He was in the Brave one with.

Oh, yeah, the Jody Foster one. He was fostered that we did. Yeah. bummer, that's, that's horrible. Mike Joyce, I'm looking forward to the Harry Potter series. They left a lot of stuff out of the movies from the later books, Justice for Puse. They did.

I remember, look, I remember reading those books, the first like four or five, and I stopped after five. And I remember watching the movies going, these are really good movies, but I'm kind of bumming because there's so many things that they left out that I just read, that I wish we're in here,

but I understand why they couldn't have it. Now you can. Yeah. Yeah. Um, there's that link, by the way, for people who are checking out the clips channel. Uh, EWalk. I second the love for taskmaster. Gloria and show.

People love this taskmaster. It comes back up like every couple of, uh, every couple times. It's a pretty same show. Yeah. I don't know what I have no friends on this show. I don't know what he's talking about. I was already sold on centers, but now even more of Jack O'Connell's in it. I love skin, shins too, when he played Cook.

Lots of skins alumni killing it. Yeah, Jack O'Connell's great in this. Great. Yeah. Yeah. Everybody's good in it. There's really, there's, there's no weak link. And the new guy, what's his name?

Miles Katten, I think is his name. Okay. He plays preacher before. You'll know him in me, after you see the movie tonight, I'll bring up preacher where you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. Okay. It's great. It's great.

Chrome Ragu, love the show. Thank you. After rewatching Falcon and Winter Soldier, do you like it more or less? What is Down the Pipeline for MCU Sam Reactions? Thank you for the question. I like it. same. I liked it when I saw it the first time. And I think it leads in pretty well. I think what I

actually am going to do. I think that both Luke convinced me to do this and I also think a few comments did. I realized after seeing Captain America, the Brave New World, we could watch that. It comes out tomorrow, I think on digital. I think I'm going to watch that with Sam this week. Okay. She won't be missing anything. There's nothing that the eternals with the stupid thing, this sent to live in. Who cares? There's nothing that she, it will play so well for her if she watches now, because she's fresh off a winter soldier.

So I think that would make sense for us to do. But we are, we have watched episodes one and two of Loki, so that comes out tomorrow. Yeah. The goal is that we can get, if I can't get Loki up by Friday, probably be Saturday,

but I'm probably going to, I'm going to try to get Captain America soon. it'll probably be a break in between loki and get captain america uh brave new world with with sam um dancing dog 60 after uh conan came out in the 80s there was a plethora of cheapo knockoffs made made in italy what happened to the italian genre market i miss it i don't know yeah but i'm sure there's some really good ones i guess he follows it up with italy made cheapo zombie films that were fun also i'm sure i love i love that type of knowledge i love that I know.

Poochute, Ryan. Question, did you finish the indie game? So excited to play it tonight on PS5. Roka, you can get early access for 100. Oh, only 100. Okay. I didn't finish it.

It has nothing, again, nothing to do with interest as much as time. But that's usually what happens to me in video games. I can play as much as I can, and then I just can't do it. Francisco Lopez, and I agree with you guys. I don't feel excitement for WrestleMania 41. I should have a great lineup of matches.

The WrestleMania 4.4. 41 lineup should I think that he's probably okay it should have a great lineup of a match so many of 41 lineup should I'm gonna say that for now until there's another one and there's another one says one and it too coolly hi hey fam you all tell marvel to give blade to Ryan coogler I think he was up for it at one point right was of course I think he opted not to do that and did sinners instead I can't wait to see sinners in IMAX this weekend good seeing my homies say be easy thank you fully I don't want to see him do any more Marvel movies. I said this the other day.

I don't even want to see him do Black Panther 3. It has nothing to do with anything except like I like watching him do his own original shit now and new stuff. I want to see him do new things. And I can't remember who it was. It might have been coy that brought it up and I think it's an excellent point is that, you know, the thing is he is young, right? And if he's going to knock out one more studio, big studio film in the way like Nolan did also where Nolan did his trilogy and they're just making whatever he wants to make, then so be it. I get it.

What's he with 36 years old, 37 or even 40? You know, whatever he is. It's like he's super young. So yeah. Yeah. But no, I don't want to see him to Blade now. But he would, he would crush it, but I don't want to see it. EWalk. Not sure if you discussed it or anybody's thoughts on

Supergirl suit is exactly what she wears in the woman at tomorrow's series. It was a leak, so I didn't look at it. Did you see it? Yeah, we covered it last week on the game buddies. Yeah, I liked it. It's good. It's, it honors the tradition. I like the cape. I like the cape. I like that she's wearing a skirt. And so all of it evokes the best of Supergirls.

So I like the costume for sure. Speaking of Thunderbolts, just got the invite. Hey. Probably got it too. Are you going to the premiere? Is it a premiere? Yeah, I always say, please don't write me. Francisco Lopez.

Oh, there it is. Punk versus Rhodes, Gunther versus Sina, Raines versus Riley versus Billy. The only matches I'm excited for the two triple threats in the IC title. Agreed. Yeah. Yeah, I agree.

Who should Ryan? Cleveland Guardians are celebrating Superman Day by giving out Metropolis Meteor shirts and a bobblehead or Superman catching a baseball. That's fantastic. That's awesome. It's awesome. I love that. Dancing Dog 60.

If you guys ever get to see a Kaiju Big Battle live wrestling match, do it. It's a ridiculous blast. It's like a live Power Ranger show, hilarious. That sounds fun. Yeah, it does sound fun. It does be a lot of fun. Cool. Cash, CG.

For the recent teasers and marketing for Thunderbols that keep showing the same scenes, and my question is why not show the new stuff instead. I love it. Don't show new shit. Don't. I don't want to see anything anymore. I don't even think the last thing I saw was that big huge thing they did. I didn't even react to the last trailer. I want to know nothing.

I want to know nothing about this movie. I love that they don't show. And I get the argument against that. This isn't a well-known property. They should show as much as possible to get people excited about it. But I don't need it. I don't either. And they shouldn't because I got a feeling there's going to be some spoilers.

they don't want out there. Yeah, I'm being selfish. I'm being selfish. Mike Joyce, thoughts on Hawaiian pizza and least favorite pizza. I mean, if it's like a CPK type pizza, you know,

like where they're doing that, so putting a whole bunch of shit on pizza, like, yeah, but when it comes to like, when you walk into a pizzeria and there's, I don't want to see pineapples on pizza. I think it's a crime.

I agree with you. Pineapple pizza is a crime. Least favorite pizza, probably anchovy pizza. I hate anchored. Yeah, I wouldn't be able to do that. I'll tell you,

there's a, there's a place right over here. they import all their stuff from italy oh yeah and they did this barata slice holy shit it's so good it is it's and it just it's not but it tastes healthy yeah yeah that's how good it is it tastes yeah it tastes healthy i'm like man actually he ate these you know i got to give a shout out i got to find out i went to this restaurant yesterday um and with my we were we went we took the kids um to the Long Island Aquarium. Oh, nice.

Yeah. And on the way back, we wanted to get we wanted to get some food and we stopped off at a, at a restaurant, and where the hell do we go? Vespa, that was the name of it. Okay. Vespa Italian Kitchen Bar, we went there yesterday. Nice. Absolutely delicious.

It was so good. It was so good. We stopped. We went and we like, we didn't know. We just kind of stop, read some reviews on it. I just go check it out. Had a chicken Caesar salad. I had some chicken stuff. My 13 year old orders this chicken sandwich thinking it's going to be, it's this big, huge sandwich. She saves it over for lunch. The portions were incredible. That's a crush. Oh, so my wife had this yokey pesto. Oh, delicious. Delish. I didn't, I had used my cheat the night before, so I just had chicken breast, you had freaking mushrooms and spinach, but it was.

was delicious. Oh, I just totally went over Joey's. Yeah, yeah. That's your Joey's. Brushed right over Joey's, the great Joey Petrus. Who says, rewatched Godzilla minus one. So brilliant. I can't wait for the sequel.

I think the U.S. could ever make a prestige level of Godzilla film. If they treat it like that movie did, yeah. You always hope that, you know, you get a filmmaker that will do any big IP like that. You can make anything. You get the right team. Yeah. anything, a real movie. That was a real movie.

Yeah. I think it depends on how big the Godzilla Kong thing gets and then eventually they'll spawn off and there might be one that gets a little more prestige approach to it, which I think a lot of people are excited about. This is a great comment. And this is from Doug developer.

Mickey Worker kicked out a celebrity Big Brother for bad behavior. Shows you that it is much easier to make a comeback than it is to stay there. It's a great comeback. I mean, great Great, great, uh, conversation and great comment. Um, it's true. It's like, look.

And it's also the guy is living in a very different time. Yeah. It's like, uh, you, you, you can't talk like that guy. And you can't do. And, and when you see you're doing harm to somebody too, it's like, what do you? I'm no Jojo Siwa fan, but like, come on, man. Um, Tyler Fifer. Why was Coolidge in MC?

Good film otherwise. What am I? What is that? Coolidge what's MC I don't know you guys you can't expect us to know all your terms MC was coolidge and oh Jennifer Coolidge why was Jennifer Coolidge and Minecraft good oh um so uh yeah that was my least favorite part was I thought it was just it was there to be there some people really liked it though my seven-year-old did not it was our least favorite part Bobby Jackson interview with the vampire was nominated for best art direction and best original

score but not that picture right Think sinners could get one of those knobs. I hope music. You like the score. Dude, the music in general, the soundtrack, the score, you will pick it up very fast that the in Google has said as much. The music is as much of a character as Michael B. Jordan is a character. Wow.

Yeah, the music is a massive, massive part of the film. So I feel like soundtrack or score could be. And sound, sound design. The sound is incredible in this movie. Cool. Are you seeing an IMAX, John? I don't know what the screening is. It's at an AMC, so perhaps, perhaps it is IMAX.

It's great, and it's really, really well done in IMAX. Jake asked, if Harry Potter doesn't get the kid from adolescence in a role, they'd be crazy. Couldn't believe his performance, memorize all those crazy lines. Did you see that movie? I love the show. The show was great. The kid was great. So, yeah, that's a possibility.

Is he that good? How old is it? He could be. It could be Lucius. He would be a great. How old is it? I think he's like 11 I think

Hank Pimp What do you think What do you think Orton will do for me Because he was supposed to fight K.O., right? Oh, right. Yeah, so Don't know what they're going to do with him.

Yeah. I don't think they know what they're going to do with him. Exactly. I think they're still figuring it out. Yeah, not sure. Dancing Dog 60. What if Thunderbolt's Superman and Fantastic Four all tank? There's no chance that that happens.

That all three of them will tank? Like tank means bomb, right? No chance. Underperform, possible. Very good possibility. Thunderbolt's underperforms. I still think out of the three of those movies, it's going to be the best one as far as quality,

as far as movie goes and storywise, I still think Thunderbolts is going to be the best. Interesting. I think Superman's the one I'm looking forward to the most. Right. Fantastic Four has a very good opportunity to make the most money. Yeah. But I would say,

them all tank? Very unlikely. Yeah, I think so too. It was very unlikely they'd tank. Underperform, he said possibly, but not tank. Yeah. Dancing dogs, the Creed 2 director, Capel should direct Blade. Maybe.

I mean, I think he did a decent job with the last Transformers movie. Yeah, it's fine. It's fine. But his Creed 2 was good. So, yeah, that's not a bad idea. Stephen Cable. Bobby Jackson, I like Cougar's original ideas, too. But in between time of inspiration and development of his original ideas,

I don't mind him doing Marvel if he's inspired to do so. I understand. I agree. And I think that, again, like I said, I think that if it comes down to the fact, if he's if it was one of these things where he's like a 60 year old 65 year old man he's only got a couple left in him you know to do and so why why are you doing you doing another marvel movie it's like once he'd finish up your career doing a few more but yeah he can he can do marvel and then do as many as he wants official liam g just a little correction from earlier wicked one gross 747 million worldwide worldwide oh sorry i was thinking 400 domestic That's a very different than that's a very different conversation. So part two could definitely hit a billion this fall of the show guys.

Thank you, Liam G. Okay. I agree with Liam G. Yeah. I already said it's going to overperform what the first one did. So if he did 747, right. Very good possibility. 473 domestically 276 worldwide.

So combined 749. So yeah, you're right. Okay. Yep. Dancing Dog 60. Again, Josh Hartner should be DCU Batman. Bruce. He's out of the three people I would like to see is Batman.

my number two out of the three. My, my number one is Sclinar, as I've said. My number two is hard-knit. My number three is Jensen Eccles. Yeah. Okay. Alan Smithy. Wait. Interesting how both Roka and PLD agreed on their hatred of pineapple pizza. Hate and pizza have brought them together. Spike Lee was

right. That's hilarious. That's hilarious. We also love pro wrestling. So, you know, we have more in common than we don't, but for some reason PLD has started a holy war with me. We'll never come to it. It's the old action army. He won't let it go. The generals, I hate to let it go, that they lost the war.

Go ahead. Yeah, Mark. One minute or two, okay, this has been a long time coming and it officially makes my Jackie Rears-Tom stunt debate a real conversation now. Apparently, the Oscars will start a category for best stunts in 2027. Have you heard it? I have. It's going to be announced online, I'm sure, but it will still, it's still going to happen,

and it should be so that's a good one yeah it was announced last week and they said it's official so it'll be films in 2027 that will qualify for the oscar ceremony in 2028 so yeah it's great castings next year and then stunts after that so it's perfect he follows it up with any stories about doing stunts for an acting gig no but i almost i definitely blew my arm out when i was trying to compete with jake paul on that uh on that puncherback did i tell you that story john oh oh dude so the the short of it is i don't want everybody else to to have to hear the story five times. I went to the Jake Paul, Aaron Paul,

Jake Paul, Logan Paul show that my buddy Andrew produced. He invited us to the thing in New York, and it was this thing. And there they had this punching back that you hit. And so I was there before anybody else, and I was at the time, I think the record was like 759 or 7. I don't remember what I was. It was in the high 700.

Right, right. I hit it, and I was in the consistent eight. I was like 802, 805. Then I got to like eight I think it was eight twenty nine is what it was and and I was in eight twenty nine I was like okay good and then people like no no my friend's like no one's going to beat that I go someone's going to beat that so then basically when they when party starts going for a bit um Jake Paul and his people come back to the room and I was like here we go right and they go and so six foot five security organs up there's hitting it could not get there

couldn't get there couldn't get there and he found it that I was the one who did there other people were trying to couldn't do it nobody could get to it and then So Jake gets up there and hits it and he looks over and he goes, well, who set the record? And the sphere goes, this guy. And then he looks to me and he's like, but it's your machine. Right. I go, no, I'm just visiting man. And then so then he nails it.

He doesn't get it. And I'm like, oh, it's really going to happen? And then he leans back and nails it and goes 8.50. Right. And so he's like, call me with somebody when a motherfucker beats that, right? So I'm there. I'm like, I got to hit this thing before. And I'm throwing my arm and doing the shots.

And I got to 840. Oh. At the 8.40. And so much so that Jake was actually at the thing helping me at one point, saying, do this, try that, do that. And then afterwards, I spoke to him. Very nice guy, to be honest. But my arm paid for it because I'm not, he's 27 years old. I am not.

And my arm is still paying for it. And that was like three weeks ago. Anyway. So Bobby Jackson, not finished. with adolescence, but the black officer could be a mehercial stand-in for Blade. I don't, well, I don't think he'd want to be a stand-in. He's quite an established actor in Britain. But yeah, is there's some-

I think what Bobby means is that he could take over for- Oh, if Marshall was to leave. Yeah, sure. 100% if you love to. And then this is Ronetta. Hey, guys, I think I'm going to be falling by the end of last of a season two. So far, so good, though, loving it. Yeah, I think so, too.

I think they're setting us up for that for sure. into a third season. Yes, but I want Ella, I want her to, I get Ellie, excuse me, I want her to, I really like Bella a lot. I want her to, like, I get it, you're rebellious, you're a teenager, I get it. Don't beat me over the head with it.

Don't beat me over the head with it. That's not, that's not her. That's the writing. Don't beat me over the hell. I guess she's rebellious. She always has been. She wasn't in the first season. But let's get, let's get back to what we really fell in love with her for in the first place.

Yeah. Um, Sean McCabe, psyching myself up for Thunderbolts. I watch Black Widow again better than the first time. Also, Mel and I are stoked for the August gig with Sam. Yeah, I'm going to be doing a live event with Sam in August. Nice. We're going to be putting the tickets on soon. If they sell out quick, we'll do two shows.

If now we're only going to do one. So we'll put those on. They're going to be on sale very, very soon, just waiting for, for the word. Cool. Aaron, I meant I would love to see your friends on it all on Taskmaster. Oh, yeah. But we don't know any British comedians. They only put on British comedians.

Motor rolling. Braun or Dom? Is Dom fighting? Is Dom in that in that match? Oh, I think he is somewhere. Yeah, I don't know. Unless they give Dom, I'll tell you what, I wouldn't be opposed to Dom winning the Intercontinental Championship.

I really would. No, I love Dom. I think Dom is one of the best heels in a very long time, and he knows his role. Yeah, he's in the four-way match for the IC. I'd love to see him win by pinning someone else. Okay. I would love that. Yeah.

I think Breaker retains, but Penta comes close. Is Liv Morgan even in WrestleMania? Yeah, she's in the tag match, her and Raquel versus Lyra and Bailey for the tag team titles because they have the tag team title. Bianca or Bianca, are you asking who I like better? I don't know what you're asking, Joey, like New Day or Jay. Oh, this is his predictions. Oh, I see, I see. He says, Broner, Dom.

Okay, I understand. Oh, there he goes. My title predictions. Okay. Broner, Dom, okay. Bianca or, oh, wow, no. Yeah.

New Day, or J. Raquel and Liv. Tiffy, Sina, Fatu. My title prediction. Oh, yeah, Fatu, I think he's going to win the U.S. title for sure. Yeah, over L.A. night. Yeah, I didn't even know L.A. night was still in wrestling.

Yeah. Yeah. Shea. Markel. Um, here we go. What's he's doing this for? I don't understand why it's doing this. It's on this weird thing where it's like,

okay, here's the new, Shane Mark Howell, do you have a favorite stunt from an older movie? One of my favorite stunts is from 1990s, who am I? Jackie Shan, slid down the skyscraper without a harness. I know what you, what is it?

I'm going to get you sucker. The ones is, there's one, there's some point where the, when the, the changing of the, of the, it's the best. Yeah.

Yeah. But if it becomes an obvious dude with a beard and yeah it's great i would say the tom cruise one uh on the the building in duby i think it is in uh as a rogue nation or or ghost protocol yeah one of the two the one in the building is an amazing stuff uh let's see dancing dog 60 who's the hottest woman in the mccu she not in the mccu yet right no i can't pick her um elizabeth olson i guess of the ones of the women who are left sure I left or ever well ever

I mean Natalie Portman is always going to get my vote Oh is it Yeah Natalie Portman and then Peg and then And then It's weird taste Haley Atwell Yeah

Haley Atwell is probably I agree You know what Haley at the top Never mind Elizabeth Olson right before Right below Haley Steinfeld is is climbing up the charts

She's 30 years old so I can say that She's not I'm telling you she's great She's really good in Yeah In sinners, yeah. Armada, didn't Snyder say the initial test screens for sinners wasn't good? I'm excited to see it. He says that often, doesn't it? Those were like months and months and months ago. They've been new screenings since.

Dancing Dog 60. I'd say it's either Darcy or Madison. That's his opinion. I respect that. Well, Kent Tennings doesn't think she's attractive.
