Become a Patron!: https://www.patreon.com/TheBigThingShow The news came that Director of the new Superman and head of DC Studios James Gunn will not be going to San Diego Comicon after all. There was speculation that there would be a big announcement and big reveals for Superman with the cast. Gunn responded that he is going to be filming at that time. Does this mean nothing at all for Superman or will we still get a trailer within the Warner Bros panel? Should San Diego Comicon make a shift in their programming after all of The big events and other cons that are out there today? Show gun is a major hit for Hulu. We discussed that and more. And Kristian responds to why he is no longer producing The Katee Sackhoff podcast Blah Blah Blah. #superman #DC #DCU #Movies #SDCC OUR SPONSORS: ROCKET MONEY: Stop wasting money on things you don't use.

Where is Brett? Sick. Yeah. He got the cold. He got the cold. Damn, it's going around. So he's not feeling good right now. So he said he wasn't going to come by, and I said, that's a good move.

So instead of celebrating his 50th birthday, he got sick? I think he celebrated and then got sick. So at least he got to celebrate a little bit. But I'm glad I wasn't there. What? Yeah, that's true. Yeah, Sase, you wanted me to go there and get sick. I did.

I did want you to get sick. That was my master plan. and get sick. Yeah. I was not going to do it. I was hoping. Did you text Kate? I did.

Okay. I did. Them having the same birthday is kind of spooky. It's spooky and also convenient. It's very convenient. It pops up on my phone that it's both of it. She's like, thank you for you. How do you remember this?

I said my phone? I didn't tell her, but it's like my phone tells me. So do you remember Brett's and then you know it's Kate's or do you remember it's Kate's and then you remember it's breads? Actually, I don't remember something about me. You don't remember either. I don't remember anyone's breathing. Yeah, yeah.

Okay. I don't remember. I am so bad at it. I told the story about the Stacey Howard thing with my sister-in-law. You're October? October, yeah. 12? No, but close.

What is it? I'm the first. You're October 1st? Yeah. Oh, that's easy. Remember, I'll get that. I knew you're October, though. What month am I in?

I'm going to say May, June. No. July. Yeah. That's my first choice. So what happened? Because I didn't trust myself. What's the date?

Oh, I don't know. 12th? 13th. That was close. It was close. I got close. Yeah. All right.

This is the content everybody. Well, it's just to show that I'm just very bad at this. I'm just like, I never. Listen. I'm really, my phone, thank God for phones. If it wasn't for the phones telling you stuff these days, I forget everybody's birthday. I'm so bad. And not like, oh, do you have an excuse for it?

No, I'm terrible at it. I'm really bad at it. And if, and my wife is probably the only one that gets the proper, you know, birthday love that everybody else should get. Can I tell you something that's not exciting? Sure. The opposite of, yeah. Oh.

Yeah, I'm engaged. It's going very well. Good. Yeah, thank you for asking. And his name is... Lucas. Jil Lucas. Jilucus.

Jilucus Biff. And I are just, it was love of her sight. That's what I mean, with a name like that. Yeah, I was like Jel Lucas be mine. The thing that I do, the thing that I do. other than birthdays in my phone, is I put in the heart dates for people. Whatever that means.

Like, your brother's passing is in my phone. Like, Mark Ellis is, like, all those are in my phone. And that makes me look like a stud. Like, when you remember those things, and then people are, like, so excited. But it does regardless, because you had the wherewithal to actually put that in your phone in the first place. So even though your phone's reminding you,

My phone reminds me because of Facebook, not because I put it in my phone. It's like someone will put it at Facebook. Yeah. Oh, okay. Facebook tells me, hey, idiot. It's time to say happy birthday. So what happened with your sister-in-law? What about Stacy?

No, the sister-in-law was even worse because my dad told me on the day. Yeah, that's bad. Remember, it's Stacy's birthday today. I was like, all right, I'll make sure they get to. Again. You have to in that moment. You cannot wait. I'm terrible at it.

I'm so bad at it. I'm so bad at it. But anyway, so you and Jill Lucas, how's the date going? Was there actually dates anybody this week or no? You know, I thought there were going to be several. There were none. They were just none. What did you see Dune with?

I went and saw Dune with Matt, my manager, and somebody else from the management company. You know, we went actually... It was Sunday. You told me you couldn't go Sunday. That's true. So... Okay, so whatever. Yeah.

If I was going this week, you told me you couldn't go till this week. But I wanted to see it. Let me tell you something now that I told you what I went with. We actually had a debacle and we were watching the movie. Let me tell you what happened. The two people I went with already saw it.

They were seeing it for the second time. And you know, because you met him a couple of times, my manager is like just awesome. He's the greatest. I really like him. But during the movie, he would know what was coming next and he had all these tells. So I knew when there was about to be a moment.

like without meeting to he'd be like oh yeah like I can't like do a little drum roll so I move seats do you move seats away from him because you couldn't take it that's great I didn't want to know and I kept no like he'd why didn't you just tell him to cut it out because he was enjoying himself so much but didn't make it more obvious what you might probably thought he smelled or something no he didn't this is the best part Christian afterwards he didn't know I had moved were you sitting directly next to so here's what happened it's the one manager my manager and then me. I'll tell you, this doesn't seem like a very attentive manager.

Not when it comes to Dune. Priorities, Dune, Roxy. So I'm sitting next to him and I get up and move one row behind them because I just was getting everything spoiled. Like I knew when there's going to be a sad part, a good part, whatever. So I said one row behind them. The movie finishes.

We go outside and the manager is not my manager said, you're going to have to go see the movie again. And I said, why would I have to see the movie again? He goes, you were gone for the last 40 minutes. And I said, Just didn't know that you went behind. No, but that's not my manager.

That's the other manager. He said, you were gone for the last 40 minutes. And my manager goes, what are you talking about? She was sitting next to me the whole time. And I said, said, you're both wrong. That's hilarious. That's really funny. It was good.

It was an empty theater? You know what? We went to, have you ever been to sunset? It used to be a sunset, like independent. Now it's a landmark. Oh, okay. But it was a 70 millimeter. Okay, but not IMAX.

But not IMAX. But not IMAX. It was 70 millimeter. and it was half full. And every other theater around town was completely... What time? Sunday at 4. Okay.

But it was weird. Every other theater was completely full. That one had half the seats empty. And I was like, huh, I wonder what that's about. The theater is under renovations. Like, there was no carpeting. There was, like, some issues. It's very small.

So I was like, oh, okay, maybe people... Is that the one with the guy shit in the box? Oh, yeah, that's another story. Never mind. You're making a joke or you're telling a real story? Who's in the box, Christian? I remember the character's name that we came up with 10 minutes ago. Julius.

That's the reason why he could make it today because he was shitting in boxes across country. Yeah, that's the one where Jolucas shit in the box. You're right, Christian. That's what happened. He won some cash for shitting in a box. But no, I didn't go on a date to the movie because I didn't go on any dates this week because I never got a call from that guy, which we know was long gone. But then the other people that I was supposed to say, like Snidey,

was supposed to set me up with this guy. Trust that? Okay, sorry. Snyder's brother was supposed to set me up with this guy. Snyder's like super normal. Yeah. Really, really sweet. Kids and normal.

Yeah, no. Yeah. No, Jeff's sending me up? I don't know about that. Anyway, well, I'm sorry that didn't work out for you just yet. We got to see Dune, so that worked out. And Jaluka. Jolucas.

I forgot anymore. That's all right. You guess he's not that memorable. What did you do this weekend? What did I do this weekend? I never can remember, though, blends in together. I didn't watch that. The wrestling was last week.

Good. Oh, what's going on on Katie's show? Oh, right. All right. Let's talk about that. Tell the people. Tell me. Okay. So, Katie's show, blah, blah, blah with Katie Sackoff, which is the show we started together. We started it, we started shooting it in, it was like June or July of last year, and we banked so many episodes, and then the strike came, we had to push things back and all that. And then during that time, Katie moved to Oregon. And she moved there with her family, obviously. And she comes back and she's able to, you know that you can now, what you do,

a lot of your auditions are through remote. Remote. Yeah. So she can do that. And so she wanted to move and make a better life of their family. And she's done that as much too. But, and what we did is that we had changed studios. We found a really good studio that we started banking more episodes. And I think it'll start coming out soon. The Ming Now Wen episodes,

the Tricia Helfer episode, the Mary McDonald, all those episodes. The Michael Rosenbaum one that we did. All those were at the new studio. It was great. The problem is that Katie has to fly

from Oregon to L.A. to get these done. Right? So during that time, it's like, we had a guest booked and she flew in for it, and that day the guest got sick and cancer. Oh, my God, it's so miserable.

So she's like, oh. So we had to film, we filmed a couple of hindsight episodes and things that we did together. And it was... Good use of your time, though. Way to make it work. It worked, and she definitely, she was a very hard worker, really loves it, and she said as much in her announcement. The issue with me is that she brought me on to do a video podcast or video show. and help her run the YouTube thing.

And she's going audio only with her show. So we decided, like, I worked on the show up until, I guess, whatever the last video episode is on that channel. And then she and her husband, I think, are going to be producing the show moving forward. But we talked, and she's going to come on this show. She's going to be... Because for old-school fans, you'll remember that Katie was our second co-host that we ever had. Who's your first? Catherine Reim.

Oh. Catherine Raymond was our... You know I am... You love Catherine. I'm... I'm sickeningly obsessed with her. I think it's so disrespectful that you haven't hooked it up yet.

I haven't... You know, I don't talk to her as much anymore. I did send her a text when her dad passed. And then she wrote back and we talked a little bit there. But like, I haven't really spoken to her in a bit. I guess she's got a family and everything too, but she's crushing it. She's brilliant. She's brilliant.

So, and she's a very, very funny person. And so she was our first. And then Katie was our second and then Tiffany. So it was like boom, boom, boom. And then Alicia? Was Alicia right after? I think it was Alicia. I think Alicia was right after.

Yeah, Alicia was after Tiffany. So, but Katie was for a bit. And then Katie was like every week. And that's when I first realized she was pretty damn good at doing this. So she's going to be a contributor. She's going to come on a big thing when she's available with the new program that I've been using lately. on that I used for UAP Tuesdays. I used yesterday with Steph and Mike.

We are going to do that. So we'll probably have her here on Thursday show, probably on Wednesday shows. Why did you use it with Steph and Mike? Steph got into an accident and couldn't get over here. And she was either just me and Mike, which had been fine. We've done it many times over, but if I could still have her on the show. And I love this program.

I love, like, you know how much I don't like using Streamard. Yeah. I love using this other program. It's not going to last question. What? This program? Yeah. You know you loving the program.

No, it doesn't. You've never had a tech program that you've loved for longer than a month. No, no, no, I've already had it longer. Are they a sponsor versus? No. Then I'm accurate. No, I'm telling you. I'm telling you.

Like, this is, I can go back and forth the same way. If I'm here and I go back and forth with somebody here, you can't even tell. Like, the problem with Stream guard is like, when you talk over some, if someone talks over someone else, the audio, like, just like distorts it. And then it's that awkward timing of like when you're trying to. It doesn't do this with this other program. I've had no problems with the other stuff, and it's been so much better. So we'll have her in to do it.

And I can adjust the camera shots because that's the other thing is it distorts the quality of the video and streamer. It doesn't look as crisp. You can change filters and everything to in this other program. Well, for Katie, of course you're going to love it. You're going to make it work. And I have her on the show and have her interact with you and have her on with it. So we're going to have her on, and she can promote her show. But I won't be doing her show anymore.

Obviously, we'll be around. It was so funny, idiots who were like, I bet you Christian took all his equipment and left. I was like, first of all, Dickhead, if you had a scene in the first place, we stopped filming here and moved to another studio, like, already. That's the common to? Some dumb, dumb.

And I had to write in there going because I don't want people. Katie and I've been friends since 14, 15 years now, whatever is. And it's like, I don't want, there's no, there's absolutely nothing. Nothing, no heart feelings at always. It was, she brought me on to be a video producer. She's not doing video anymore.

And if she does, it'll be down the line. And so I'm doing, and I have a lot of shit that I'm doing my channel now and I watch the other channel. Yeah. So that's growing very fast. Yeah. And so we just put, we put a couple videos out. So I am working with the guy, the guy who's been on contributor, this guy, Pavel.

Okay. He has his own channel, he does, but he's very much like just into the, the, like, he knows all the stories everything to us help me aggregate stories and when I'm done with with you today we're going to do another one that one I did use streamyard because it's so easy of me just kind of directly into it and then I talked to him I want to do we do it was like a seven six seven minute video our first one and we're going to do like six minute videos um so and we had a we had a really good guest on last Tuesday Matt Laslo who kind of broke a big story a couple of big stories and And we've got a couple of things lined up for that show, too.

So things are moving with this channel right now. I'm busy. So it actually worked out. Yeah, that's great. It worked out. All well, that ends well. Yeah, for sure. And I'm never going to, if Katie ever calls me up, it's like, hey, need your help with this.

I'm not going to say no. Yeah. Like I said, I've been 16 years. So that's crazy. Yeah, I know. You guys have a really good friendship. Yeah, it's been crazy. You just love each other.

Yeah. So, anyway, so that's it. So people who wanted to know, that's why I won't be doing this show. But you should go and support Katie She's going to still put her audio up on the On the YouTube channel I can do it similar to like what Jason Bateman does And those peeps are going to put the logo up

Or the guest picture And you can still get it And you can still go to Spotify You can still go to Apple And you can go and check out all her stuff Because the show is good She's really good at what she does And she's going to get some quality guests

The majority of the guests that we got It was all because they're just Katie's friends And who she knows She's going to keep getting good people on Especially as her show grows She's a big star and she's really likable. Yeah, she is.

So go and support her today. You know, before we move on to some of the stories, the first thing I want to tell you is got to tell you about both BetterHelp and Rocket Money. Here you go.

Would you read a book? Would you show up for a friend? Well, the problem is a lot of us spend our lives wishing that we had more time.

The question is time for what? If time was unlimited, how would you use it? The best way to squeeze that special thing into your schedule is to know what's important to you and make it a priority. Therapy can help you find what matters to you so you can do more of it. So I've mentioned Roxy Stryor. She's talked about it many times. She's really benefited from better help.

Thank goodness. Good. And it helps tremendously. Yeah. She's just amazing. Good. And really helpful. And like with worksheets and action steps and.

and not just me talking, like me talking and then really listening. She's very active. I love that. Yeah, with her feedback and what. Feedback's a weird word. But like, you know, sometimes. Break down of kind of the situation. Yeah.

It doesn't feel like talking to a friend. It feels like getting help from a therapist. Good. And I, um, because I mentioned you obviously when we were talking about them. And I always bring it up because I think that you, like just to watch that shift from that day when I brought up better help today. So it's great. And then the other thing for me.

is when I tell you about rocket money, like it is everything on here because of rocket money. So links to the description. You help us out tremendously and you get yourself some great stuff if you do it. And I was pin it as the top comment. My perfect day has sand, salt, water, and friends.

I have a question for you. It's not going to matter for the people at home because they can't see what I'm talking about, but I'm curious and I'll describe it for them. Your shot list on here. Mike Steph. Yeah. Wide two-shot news show. None of this is going to make.

I've got to cut all this. Don't cut it. I just want to know. Why doesn't it say Roxy? I'm telling them that my shot says chair one while Steph says Steph and Mike says Mike. I'll tell you why. Thank you. Today you get Roxy.

Because the reason why. I'm a star. Perfect. Chair one and chair two is revolving throughout the week. This was for that program today. So that's why. And then the two show, these are for the actual one I'm doing it. There's one of my name in lights.

Yeah. But look. Let's do this. Tell the people. No. Okay. This dropped yesterday. Director James Gunn confirms he'll miss Comic-Con.

He reveals some specific, surprising, inspirations. Superman director and DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn has confirmed he won't be present for this year San Diego Comic-Con. However, he's also shared some specific sources of inspiration for the movie. DC Studios unveiled its DCU Slate, Title Chapter 1, Gods and Monsters at the end of last January. James Gunn has since kept fans up to date on his social media platforms, but last year's WGA strikes definitely slowed down the DC's momentum, delaying work on the likes of Waller and Lanterns, for example.

Fans are eager for another update, with the hope being that DC Studios might steal the show at this year's San Diego Comic-Con by sharing her first look at Superman, along with more casting announcements and future projects. While that may indeed happen, it sounds like Gunn won't be part of it. Asked by a fan on threads if he's excited about the annual event,

the filmmaker simply responded with, I will be shooting. Remember, Gunn recently suggested that Comic-Con and some sort of online presentation aren't his only options for a DCU slate update, so he might have something else planned. In other news, the filmmaker has asked for his Superman inspirations beyond just Richard Donner's work, and these are the images that he chose to share. This is the first one he shared. That's like an old school one. This is why we'll probably cover this on capes and cows also because Coy and Winston probably know these way better. Ruby Roxy does too.

I don't know, but I don't know these as well. He did a bunch of them, a bunch of them. Here's another one. Okay. Tons of images. And then this is, this is the Kingdom Come one. And I guess it's going to kind of set up the Kingdom Come episodes. All right, Roxy, let's start with the fact that he's not going to be a Comic Con.

Now, Wonder Brothers is probably still going to have a thing. If I was to guess, Warner Brothers has their big panel. and has a whole big thing and then says, and here's a word from James Gunn, who's shooting Superman at the moment, and James goes, hey guys, thanks for being there, yada, yada, yada, while you're there,

we're shooting, and I figured I'd show you just a little bit. Because remember, a lot of people don't talk about this enough. James Gunn did something that, for Comic-Con, that it's just kind of unheard of. When Guardians of the Galaxy was filming,

there were two weeks into filming. is the first one. You're okay? Spelt them. Two weeks into filming and they put together a trailer and it looked like a full-on trailer for the entire movie. That could very, if they're filming now, by the time they get to July, they could very much so release the first trailer that day or at least have something to look at, but he's not there. For sure, that could be it. There's a lot of different things that could be happening right now.

I think that Comic-Con is different than it used to be. Yeah. And the pandemic really accelerated that with DC Fandome as the place that they were making all of those announcements. And not only just making the announcements,

they did a great job with D.C. They did. And people really liked it. And I think with Marvel pulling out of Comic-Con for multiple years and other companies kind of following suit, Comic-Con just is not. not what it used to be in many ways.

When it comes to announcements for films and everything, the way it was taking, and I think a lot of people, Comic-Con purists are going to be happier with that. Because they go for the comics. Yeah, and I think you can still have events, and you still make it feel like,

I didn't go last year, you did. Yes. And you said you had a blast, right? Yeah. I haven't heard a single person that went last year say anything but that. Yeah, I don't, I'm not saying it's not what it used to be,

as in it's worse than it used to be. It just quite literally isn't, what it was, it is more similar to what it used to used to be. So I think that studios are catching wind of the fact that it's actually not necessarily beneficial for them. It's not.

To go to Comic-Con, give them all their juice, spend all the cashish, and then not get the capital back. As opposed to, you do DC Vandome, every view you're getting, that's coming to you and into your pocket. So I'm not saying that there won't be any announcements

at Comic-Con, but I do think that probably right now, they're talking about all of their different options. It is possible that they're doing exactly what you're saying. James Gunn's not going, but they're about to drop something big there. Or it's possible that they decide they're going to do it a completely different way. And all the Superman material that we're going to see is going to come out at their own event or on James Gunn's social or be announced for its own big day in some way. That's what they should do in the same way that when Star Wars Celebration was doing everything at Star Wars Celebration and pulling back from doing Comic Con announcements or, Marvel went to like D23 and did it there.

That makes sense, right? The other, you nailed it because it's like, if I'm a studio and I'm going, okay, I can go and announce, let's use Superman as the example, even though I do think there's going to be Superman stuff, but I'm like, okay, I can do a fandom event where Roxy said you put in the views, you put it on our YouTube channel,

you do all these certain things. Plus, I can put out a trailer, and this is any movie, right? I can put out a trailer on that day, because I'm not going to make it exclusive, and I'm going to put, because most of these trailers now are not exclusive. That was what was so exciting about Comic-Con

was that they made them exclusive. But the problem was the technology on these things started getting better, and more and more leaks started happening. Because when the leak started happening, they're like, well, what are we doing? Let's just put it out. And when they put out the leak,

I mean, when they put out the trailer, it's like, I remember, was it last year or two years ago? It was two years ago, one of the Comic-Con. I didn't go. And I said, well, I don't need to go because from me and what I do, all the trailers will drop that day. And I'll just do what I do, the reaction, whatever it was, and then review them and talk about them as opposed to because it actually, celebration, when they show like trailers and stuff, people, if they show them at the, if they're not exclusive. And if, let's use a real rejects as an example. They don't go to Star Wars Celebration.

They get that trailer reaction out. If it drops it, let's say the panel's at 10 o'clock and it drops at 11 o'clock, 1045. They 1045, their reactions up. I got a wait for the panel to be over. Right. Then I have to get back to my hotel. Then I got to either. Shut up.

Then I got to do, and I'm not even in doing an immediate reaction to it. I'm doing a watching again or a review because I've just seen it. And Wi-Fi. It's always an issue there. Right. So it's like you go to those things because you want, and it's pushed the reason why everyone was having fun because they're going as fans. You've got to go as fans, and there are ways, there's news and stuff you can cover for work, but it's different. Yeah.

Yeah. Events. Website. Website people, they're covering all the stuff that's going down. That's big. And then that's usually the stuff that now, if I'm there, if it's exclusive, it's exclusive thoughts on like the trailer and things of that nature. But I'm just covering this on the, on the professional side of things because I think they've, I think that every, I still say, even though I think Star Wars needs to. complete facelift right now, their event is still the one that is the most satisfying for fans

because when you go to Comic-Con, as I've mentioned this many times over, you go to Comic-Con, you walk on the floor and you go, oh, I'm a DC fan, I like all this DC stuff, and you turn on the right, and there's a bunch of Marvel stuff. I don't like that. Are you over here? I'm not a big, what's the other, boom, boom, studios. I'm like, you're like, I like boom, but I don't know, I kind of like DC, so where's my DC stuff? Star Wars? Star Wars, Star Wars, Star Wars, Star Wars, Star Wars. Right.

You're like Star Wars. It's a Star Wars. You're going there for Star Wars. Right. And I'm with you. I think Marvel needs to do its own con. I think that DC needs to do its own con. I think they need to get away from Comic Con because...

But, okay, I'm super with you. But the good thing is that when they were making these huge announcements at Comic Con, we were getting one movie a year, if that. So they... Marvel was doing two. Marvel's... No, I'm not saying in their announcement. I'm saying when Comic Con was at its peak when they were doing the announcements,

there weren't, I guess maybe Marvel had two movies a year at that point. But even if two, now they have five. What I'm trying to say is at the time, if there was only going to be one massive announcement a year. Now everything, Star Wars, DC, Marvel, they all have 15 massive announcements in a year. Whether it's a movie that's upcoming, whether it's a trailer, whether it's a release date, whether it's a they signed somebody like there are so many announcements that you could kind of do the best of all things like you could still say that marvel wanted to do its own con they could still do that and they could drop one thing every year at comic con to keep fans really stoked because there's enough stuff are you going to go this year i haven't missed a con so in eight years so funny i was that was i was i was i had a streak like that going when ellis and i were doing it i think 2011 was the first time we went and i think the last time i was there was 2019 This time we stayed, the last couple times we've stayed at Stephs, so I don't pay for a place. Right.

And then it's just, we went for two days last time. It's like one day, sleeping the next day. So fun. So I don't know that I'll do the whole con like I used to do where I got a hotel right there. Remember Skybound sent me. Well, that's right. And they used to put me up in this gorgeous suite and pay for all my food and everything that I did. And it was sick.

Well, that's one, yeah, when I was covering it for, you know, Fandango. Right. But I've talked about it before, too. The most stressed I've ever been in my life was that when I was working for Fandango and Spike at the same time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. My head almost blew off.

I was like, I don't know how people do this. But I'll tell you, the con that I think is the most beneficial for work and for studios in general, cinema con. That's the one that I think is, because there's tons of exclusive stuff. There's tons of like they show movies early. They should, like there's tons of industry news.

There's tons. I mean, that's, that's built for industry news. I've never been to cinema con. It's, it's. This is the Vegas one, right? Yeah. So I went, I went last year for a day because I had gone to. That was the flash one, right?

Yes. I was supposed to go for all four. Because they showed parts of Barbie. They showed Wonka. They showed a bunch of stuff. I didn't go because. to all the rest, because I had just gotten back from like a wedding. It was like a three-day thing.

And I got back. And when I got back, I was, my wife was like, you're going away again. I'm like, I'm just going away for a day. I'm just going away for a day. And then it was, it was tough. It was tough to do more than one day. But it was, it was fun. It was fun for what I did.

Is it as fun as Comic-Con is in terms of the, like, party element? I know that they have, like I said, I was only there for a day. I went to dinner with Snyder and then I went home. But it was, but they have them. They have the parties. And the parties of Comic Con were my favorite thing that I was doing. When it came to, after I stopped working for Fandango and I was just working for Collider, there was one year, it was my, there was two years in a row. They're my two favorite comic cons ever.

And I definitely saw, it was when I saw you, remember when I saw you at the Hard Rock at time? That was one of my favorite comic cons because my job for those two comic cons, you know, was hang out during the day and go to the party at night and do a schmowdown on on the Saturday yeah yeah yeah it was the best that was the best like it was the I remember covering hall H was it was easy to do when you're not covering and running around with different I remember poor RB3 running around with the freaking camera like it did 80 90 degree weather so anyway it's it's a lot of fun I mean it's a lot of fun I mean it's a lot of fun I always recommend it people especially people getting into this space go to a comic con we had so much fun

for those like those like 718 17 years. It's like the they call I think Stephs of this nerd Vegas. Yeah 100% in there. So fun. Yeah, absolutely it is. But anyway, James Gunn't

ain't going to be there, man. And then there's a question of where he's going to miss out then. Yeah, I know. Although he's going to be shooting that movie. How excited are you for the new movie and the title and everything too? The new title. Unbelievably excited. Although I did.

Yeah, because you and I haven't spoken about this. I do think that the way he phrased why he dropped legacy does have me curious because he said, you know, I wrote the script and then realized, no, this is Superman. Right. Which makes me wonder why before writing it, did you think it was legacy? Mm-hmm. And afterwards, it's not legacy. It is Superman.

That's true. I mean, I think legacy will probably wind up being the sequel. Yeah, I think so. I just think he was telling us something with that, you know, like saying, like, I thought that I was writing legacy. And then I wrote it and it was Superman. Which is probably which is which is great. Yeah, which I think is better. You don't want the first of your movies to be legacy.

Yeah, and I want to see what I wrote this and I took the tweet down because I just got I just get tired of people. That's why. You still on Twitter? Yeah, I just, I just post and run normally. Yeah, me too. Yeah. But when I was. Retweet.

And then it's it because I because when I did do something, I'll do something on, you know, big thing. Like the other day, there was I saw movie related stuff. There was something that I saw where it said, what's the, what's a scene where it. character, the best scene where a character knew they were about to die. And I put Miles Dyson from Terminator 2. Okay. And, but I'll do stuff like that. But then I posted something and I was, and I wanted to, because sometimes James

going to respond to people, right? So I, but mostly on threads, but I did something on Twitter and I said, hey, are they going to, because he's using a lot of Donner inspiration, I was like, you're going to use John Williams' theme. And the amount of comments of I hope not, Bill, you did it. And I'm like, oh, this is gross. This is not what I, it's like, it's like people just being so vicious about John Williams and like the theme song. Like saying what?

I don't care. I just remember just people being such dickheads about it. I just deleted the tweet. I'm like, forget it. I'm sorry I did that. Because some people were like, no, I need something original. I'm like in the way that they were doing it. It's one way to just have a conversation.

I don't necessarily think that I think they should move on from it. I just feel that you can use that theme. I've said it before. you can use that Superman theme in the same way that you use the James Bond theme. Like just, you know, and some people will say, well, why not the Hans Zimmer? A Han Zimmer theme is fantastic.

So if they want to, but they're going to have to come up with another one, which is going to be tough to beat those two or at least be in the same neighborhood as those two. Who are they using? I don't know. I would assume it's going to be the guy who does the score for Guardians. Let's see, who does Guardians? Guardian.

Tyler Bates. Oh, wow. Tyler Bates, I think he did 300 also. Tyler Bates did Guardians. Did he do, who did Guardians 3? Oh, is John Murphy. So who did Guardians 2? Tyler Bates.

What happened there? I don't know. He did not do Guard. So is who's, let's see, Superman 2025, John Murphy. There you go. So Guardians 3 Composer is doing us. Yes. Okay.

Interesting. And I have nothing but hope for that because James Gunn has a lot of strengths. And one of his major strengths is music. Yeah, for sure. I mean, the soundtrack, I love the Guardians movies, but one of the top things about it is the soundtracks. Definitely. And he's got an ear for music. So I'm looking, it's got to have a hopeful theme.

It's got to have all these different things. So anyway, what do you think? about the Comic-Con conversation, what do you think about James Gunn, not being there? Go ahead, put your comments in there. Let's hear it. I heard you say that you don't think that the big bad of the first one's going to be Lex. I think he's going to be in it. I don't think he's going to be the main guy. I think that it's, I said Brainiac, but it's not Brainiac. It's, uh... No, that makes sense.

But it's not Brainiac. It's, who's the guy that, um, is playing from the guy from freaking Barry? Barry? Yeah. Oh, oh, Hank. Noho Hank. Anthony. Well, he plays... I don't remember the name of the character.

I'm not going to pretend that I remember who he's playing, but he plays somebody. I think he plays the main villain. Let's see. I think so. So either way, that's who I think. I don't think that Lex is going to be the main villain. I think he'll have a big part. But did you see him on Michael Rosenbaum's podcast?

Noho Hank guy? No, no, no. Nicholas Holt. No. And he talked about how he, when he grew up watching him as Lex Luthor, Michael Rosemont, that's cool. Yeah, it was a pretty good. That is a pretty good moment.

Let's see. Okay. So, endomorpho, Anthony Kerrigan. Okay. So that's what they said. Anthony Carrigan. Okay. He's really good.

Did you finish Barry? No. Oh. No. He's really good. But I knew him because he was on Gotham as Victor's As. Victor's ass Victor Zaz

He played Victor's ass Oh he did? Yeah he was a really good butt Yeah I'm Victor Zass No All right I'm excited for this

Well, that's not my fault. I think somebody else did that, it wasn't me. Before we move on a TV, because that's what we're going to do. Well, we are going to move on TV. We're going to move on a TV, but not Roxy's picks yet. First thing we're going to do is this. Before we move on to TV, there's another James Gunn's story. that dropped yesterday, and that's that James Gunn

respect. Before we move on to TV, there's another story that dropped yesterday with James Gunn. This time, he responds to rumors that he's eyeing Elizabeth DeBecky for DCU's Wonder Woman. With us no closer to learning

whether Gal Gadot will return as Wonder Woman in the DCU, James Gunn has chimed in on rumors he's planning to cast Elizabeth DeBecke as Diana Prince. DC Studios has made its intentions known with Superman and Batman, leaving DCEU fans with no choice but to bid farewell to Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton after his Batman Beyond movie was scrapped.

When it comes to Wonder Woman, though, the iconic Amazon's DCU's future is a little less clear. All signs pointed to Galgadot being fired from the role, and for the first time in several months, the filmmaker and DC Studios co-CEO has commented on the character's place in the new shared world. A fan shared a rumor with Gunn claiming that he's eyeing the crown and Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 star Elizabeth DeBecke as the DCU's new Diana Prince. This is coming from a site that's just making up a bunch of stuff. He confirmed before adding, I love working with Elizabeth, but I've never even had this.

She's not necessarily who we imagined in the role either, but at 6'3, she certainly got the height on her side. The Wonder Woman situation remains unclear, and all signs currently seem to be. to point to the character being rebooted in the DCEU. Despite that, Godot herself appears convinced her time as the hero hasn't ended yet. Well, this article did refer to her as fired, which I don't feel like is necessarily the correct word. She was fired for me. Also funny because my favorite Elizabeth Becky role is not her as Diana Prince,

but is her as Princess Diana in the crowd. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. She won tons of awards for it. She's crushing. She is unbelievably talented. That's what they said. So, well, this is just another thing. I believe him on this one.

It probably hasn't even been thought of yet, and they haven't been cast yet. But as far as, I do think it's Gal Gadot's time is over. And to be honest, I really like her in the role. Yeah, me too. I think it should be over. Yeah, me too. Yes and yes.

Yeah, it just, it's that time. It's time to move on. And it would be weird if she was the only one that survived it. Yeah. That would be super strange, but it wouldn't be the only one because we know what he's doing with his John Cena. Yeah. Yeah, but that's, I think that.

I'm with you, but Waller. Right. So there's. Right. They're not the only one. So you're right. But all right. Anyway, give your thoughts on it. Let me know what you think.

Do you think it's true? Not true. Do you think she would be good in this role? I think she's a great actress. I think she'd be good. Actually, the other one that I did see, this was a fan art. Let's just, I'm going to bring this up. This is a fan art that makes a strong case for Adria Ajona, who I love.

Yeah. I love her. Hold on. Let me, where is this? You asked me in between the two of them. Well, I'm choosing. I'm choosing her. I love her from Andor.

And I think she's really, really good. And totally perfect Amazonian. Like, yeah. She would be great. She would be great. She would be great fan art for what they've done. So I don't know. Do I think that Elizabeth would be good, though?

Yes, they do. Because she's good. Yeah, she's good. So she's good actress. And like they said, she's six three. That's crazy. And kick your ass. Was that not an exaggeration?

That's crazy. Elizabeth DeBecke is six. Is that her next to Margo Robbie? Yes. Margo Robbie is not... She's not... Margo Robbie's like 5, 6, or 7. Something like that.

Yeah. Yeah, she's tall. She's tall. She's tall. She'll kick your ass. Anyway, so what do you guys think? Go ahead and put your comments in there. All right, let's just get to the TV stuff with Roxy. Let's do that.

Let's get to Roxy's TV. Roxy, you got some stuff for us today? What do you got? Yeah, for sure. I got to start with this. show that I had not seen by the time that we talked last. And I told you guys I would catch up and I certainly did. It is three episodes deep.

And it is by far for sure the top show of the year of 2024. So the hype is real. That is Shogun. Wow. Yeah, the hype is definitely real. This is not going anywhere. So start watching now because this is going to be like Hulu's Game of Thrones. Okay.

It's 1600s Japan. It's got everything that you want. from a historical period piece from like sets to costumes but the plot is really interesting it's teaching us a lot of things like I talk to stuff who's obviously Japanese and she was like a lot of this is relevant to actual

history about like the Portuguese and the British and Japan and whatever his relationship was which I have no awareness of but it's so entertaining the fight sequences it's just I love it it's awesome yeah okay but it is half of it's in subs. So what they do is the Portuguese is in English

and the Japanese is in Japanese. Look, for me? Yeah, for you, I know that makes no difference. No, because it blends in to, I don't even realize that I'm even looking at subsides if I'm engaged. Right. I think it might be an issue for them for the younger audience, the dual screen people

or people like me who are just so bad at reading because there's a lot happening while you're reading. Okay. But you're able to keep up? I am. Dupa Leepa. Dupa. All right, next one. Let's talk, Bachelor.

Okay. I want to let everybody know that I'm upset that Joey's on the show because he's clearly my husband. You should. I will see? That's when I should have reached out to the many people. It's the first time I've ever watched it with anybody and been like, I think I would make a good answer to him. It's too late. People love this guy.

Yeah. The ratings have been crazy. He's really thoughtful and endearing and handsome. and exactly what you want in your bachelor. He's great. I'm pretty sure that this girl, Daisy must win because of the way the show, my producer brain is working. I'm like, oh, the way they're highlighting her, she's got to be the winner. She's cool.

I like her. I think they'd be a good couple. I'm excited to see where it goes. Still the villains? The villains out there still? No more villains on the show. Oh, they're at a hometown now, right? The last, yeah, they just did hometowns.

The girl that went home this week, though, her name was Maria. She was my favorite of the women on the show. I loved her. but she was a lot of other women like accused her of bullying and all this stuff and she was not and she looks really great Is that the one that looks like Catherine Wrightman a little bit? I would say

No Catherine Remitman meets like No she looks she's Greek but she looks like an Italian Jersey girl but she's Canadian Greek She's really pretty Catherine Ryden's really pretty too But they don't look very similar She's awesome and I think that they're gearing up for her

To be the next Bachelorette Those are my predictions. Okay. All right. Next one. Okay. Masters of the Air. I've talked to you guys about this every single week.

I'll continue to talk about it every week because it just got bumped for the number one slot for Shogun because the Shogun plot is just so different from what we've seen. But Masters of the Air is definitely a top three, top five of the year. It's beautiful to look at. We're spending a lot of time in the Prisoner of War Camp right now. And we just watched them make this radio. I mean, some of the plot stuff is really cool and interesting. The actors are awesome, and I'm super-duper into this. Where did I leave you on Masters of Art?

They were in a, they were the prisoners of war or something. Or they were, they're caught behind the lines or something. But you didn't see it? I'm only two episodes. That's why I left you two episodes out. Oh, yeah, yeah. Okay, catch up. I need to catch up on that one as well.

Okay, last one, here we go. The last one that I want to talk about is another show that while, I'm not saying, and it is the best show of the year is my favorite show. I think I didn't end up talking to you about it because maybe we missed weeks, whatever. This show is something that I have, I finished weeks ago and is still on my mind, and I follow all of them on social media because I care that much about the cast. Love on the Spectrum. Okay.

This show is the best reality show. It's not a reality competition show. It's a dating show, but not a competition show. And it is a group of people that we follow who are on the spectrum. and we, some of the producers, set them up with different people to date or they find people to date and we just watch their journey

throughout the season. But it's so beautiful and people find real love on the show and like this especially, for you guys at home who have seen it, I'm going to call them the Lion King couple. The Lion King couple, like their love is just so pure and beautiful

and you just root for everybody and it's like you watch it and you just, the whole time, it's not catty, it's not weird, it's just like, yes, yes. And people need. that kind of stuff, man. So that's it. That's our shows. Those are your shows? Those are your shows,
