And there's also a slice of cheese in here. It's Harley and me and you in the tree. This is the morning stream. Good morning, everybody. Welcome back to TMS. It's the morning stream for Monday, May 3, 2021. I'm Scott Johnson with Brian Ibbett. Yes. Hello. Welcome to a new week.

It's a new week. Yeah, man. New month, new week. Time to dust off the old whatever you do and get it on there. Hey, oh, I was going to tell you offline because it just seemed like a thing I'd tell you on text. but I'll tell you now. Okay. I started watching, well, I watched Tenant.

Okay. And I got to say this about Tenant. All right. I know you saw it. I think you saw it in theaters, right? Or something? Saw in theaters, yeah. Saw in a mostly empty theater.

Oh, good. And it's an impossible movie to say without accidentally adding that second end. Right. Ten. Which makes it incorrect because it's got to be a palindrome. Right. It has to be spelled the same way, both directions. And then four words.

Hey, what's the one where you spell it normal, like God forward is God and then backward is dog? What's that called? That's a thing, right? There's a name for that. Does anyone know what that is? My daughter and I were trying to figure that out yesterday, and we couldn't do it. If there's a name for it, I don't know it.

I think it's just another word backwards, like dessert and stressed. I can't remember. It's just not palindrome. That's palindrome. Not coincidence. Heretical, is that it? Heretical? It might be heretical.

Palindrome is Yeah, right Palindrome's both ways But anyway So Tenet there Which is the time forward time back business I don't think I get it Oh really?

Yeah, I don't get it I'm at the end of that movie going All right so I get it I get the concept of at the core Which is this reverse versus forward stuff I get that Right

But it's inception But instead of a bunch of things in nestled one one inside another it's it's uh reversy right so they go through the little uh the spinning portal thing yeah they're little they're lucky machines they have in three places or whatever that's right yep exactly did they ever say who made these machines were the russians making uh i thought it was the guy who was um it wasn't kenneth brown the guy the guy the physicist who buried the artifacts that had to be assembled to make the oh and then killed themselves doomsday device yeah okay well I

I guess my problem is the movie it is such a it is such high concept to try to pull this one off that I think it didn't work as well for me as I thought it might because I thought inception was amazing

but it sets up certain rules and I don't feel like it followed its own rules very well oh really okay there were just plenty to see it again I saw in theaters I am and for me I'm glad I saw in theaters

because this would be a movie that if I had a an iPad or a laptop or phone or something in my lap while I was watching it. I may not have appreciated it as much. I'm not saying that's what happened with you. I'm just saying that that's me. I would keep looking. I would be wanting to know stuff.

I would want to pause. It would piss him off. Oh, you'd want to be looking stuff up. Yeah, it drove me crazy because I was like, no, wait a minute. If he does that, he does that. Somebody online knows this. So I quickly look up a Wikipedia article or something. And she's like, watch the movie.

I'm like, okay, I'm watching the movie. I'm watching the movie. So, yeah, I don't know. Ten, it's okay. It's just hard to, hard to say. It feels like one of those you're supposed to watch. I really, I really enjoyed it, but I do need to, I do want to see it again. HBO Max, right? HBO Max just showed up, yeah. Yeah, yeah. The nice thing is the acting's good. Everyone's real good in it. Oh, yeah. Yeah. And you expect that from a Nolan film. It's filmed very nice, all of that.

Okay, but that wasn't the main thing I was going to tell you. The main thing is we went on a bit of a tear yesterday. And we were like, all right, we're going to watch. Everybody says, I look like the guy from Mitchells versus the machines. We're going to watch that. and sure enough I do look like that guy it's kind of weird oh right that's a new animated thing right yeah Netflix and it's great it's the at least some of the people

behind Spiderverse so it's similar right yeah that looks so good it's very very good we loved everything so there that looks like you oh yeah played by he's the dad and he's played by eastbound and down what's his name oh Danny McBride

which you never it doesn't feel like a typical Danny McBride performance. But once you realize it's him, you can hear it. But anyway, that movie's amazing. And Nicole's probably going to recommend it Wednesday, and I'm going to jump on that bandwagon as well. It deserves already this early

to be 2020's award for Best Animated Feature. It's so good. So good. Excellent. All right. I'm excited to see it. I loved every second of it. Olivia Coleman's in it. She's amazing. Very British in it. She's like, Oh, you're four. Just great. Everybody's

great. They're all great. Maya Rudolph, all of them. They're all great. Conan O'Brien's in it for a hot minute. Weird as hell. It's great. So good. Cool. Yeah, 2020. I-Corps. That's when they give out the next Academy Awards. That's when they would have the next Oscars. That's what I'm saying. I don't mean that the film is from 2022. Anyway, here's the point, Brian. I watched the first half of Justice League there. The Justice League. Yeah. Oh, oh, the right, the Snyder recut. Yeah, the Snyder cut, the four-by-three dark blue masterpiece that is the Snyder cut. I will say, I'm having a good time. We stopped it there because, you know, we don't have all day. But I stopped there and said, all right, now we'll watch the other two hours sometime later this week. And Kim's like, sure, that'd be great. I thought it was broken up into four succinct chapters. It's not.

It's broken up into like nine or ten. Six or six. Yeah, it was really that many. I know there's a bunch. I know that. There's a ton. So I kept thinking, oh, we're there already? That was a fast hour. And then I looked at it and went, oh, no, this isn't broken all my hours.

Yeah, I binged it over four nights, but I definitely saw more than one chapter. Right. Most nights. Now, the standout for me, okay, I'm having a lot of fun. It's not, how do I put this? I'm not a hater like most Zach Snyder haters. I don't, I like a lot of what Zach Snyder does. this feels a lot like that

it's uh you know it's no avengers uh end game or infinity war it's not it's not even close but it's it's it's all right so far it's fine yeah you know what it's um here's the thing i mean the comparison that I give

it's it's better than adequate for me yeah you know I enjoyed it more than just like all right well I watched it achievement unlocked right but it's not it just doesn't have for me again personal opinion just didn't have the fun of most of the emcee movies right i don't know that zach schneider can do fun i think he can do i don't know if he can do big loud epic cool looking you know slow mo rad i think he can do all that

but i don't think he's meant for for like the fun side that comics can have and that's unfortunate because they're you know he's their guy for all this and it's just is what it is but um you know And it's impossible to not notice when comics do this all the time, right? There's two Captain Marvel's in the freaking DC and Marvel Universe and one of them legally can't call themselves that anymore. And there's all these like, you know,

someone will make this character. And on the other side, they'll go, oh, we'll make one kind of like that guy. And that happens a lot. Well, in this movie, you couldn't help but notice things like these mother boxes, which I know were pulled from some DC stories are basically Infinity Stones.

And, you know, Dark Side is basically Thanos. He's even got his despair as kind of one of his black order and stuff like that. J.C. Calhoun says, there were lots of jokes in it. Yes. Jokes doesn't mean it's fun. There were lots of jokes and look who's talking to. Wasn't fun. Nope.

Nope. I mean, again, I don't like, I always say dark seed, but it's pronounced side. Anyway. Dark seed, dark side. But he, Stepan Wolf, the metal always, changing, undulating armor guy. Oh, yeah. Super cool. Awesome. Oh, my gosh. So awesome. And that actor, I love that dude. He's in Rome and Game of Thrones and a whole bunch

stuff. He's great. So anyway, it's all fun in games. But you may tell you what my favorite part is? It's that soundtrack made by none other than Holkenberg himself, aka Junkie XL, aka creator of the fantastic soundtrack in everyone's favorite movie, Mad Max Fury Road. There you go, folks. Yeah. Reset the calendar to zero. Yep.

If you could see what I'm putting on screen right now, you would laugh. Oh, really? I got to thank J.C. Have you had it up for a while? No, because it was... I just barely put it up. So J.K. Grammer made a little... This podcast has gone blank days without a Mad Max Fury Road reference.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I had to edit it a little bit for size, but it's now... It'll now pop up anytime we mention it. And it'll probably never go past zero, you guys. That's just how it. Very good. Thank you, J.K. Graham. That's funny. All right. Cool.

I promised you last week. Yeah, I'm curious to see. I'm curious to see what you think when you see the rest of it. Yeah, we will definitely do it. Kim's really enjoying it. I think the Wonder Woman stuff's really strong, by the way. Yes. Oh, it for sure is. And I mean, you know, there's like this blast that can take out half of a floor of this museum. Just protected by her. her. Didn't she make it?

I thought she made it. Didn't she? That was her whole thing. She, she's, the thing that took of that building wasn't the bomb. She threw that up

into the, into low orbit. Oh yeah, yeah, right. Yeah, again, it's been a little lost in the scene.

That's right. Yes, it was the, the deal with that to take out the guy to stop him from setting off, uh,

yeah, Ruse Bolton from a game of Thrones. There's all kinds of Game of Thrones people on this movie. I know, but there's, you know, it takes out half of the building that direction. Kids completely unharmed behind her.

Yeah. Well, one would hope that the force goes out from those wrist things. One would hope. One would hope. Feels a little risky to be just popping that off. Yes, exactly. Anyway. It's fun time. And I think she's handled really well. And I think, uh, I think Aquaman has handled. Mamoa is doing a great job too.

Yeah. I'm actually going to argue. Casting, I think is great. Yeah, no, they're great. The Flash kid's great. They're all fine. I like Cyborg. He looks a little to, he's too. He's too. He's too ornate, he needs less shit everywhere. It needs to be more smoothed out. He used to be, right, he's too faceted. Yeah, I don't like that. It's like what they do with Transformers. It's too much. It's like back up a little bit and smooth it out.

But the other thing I was going to say is the Wonder Woman stuff in this, I think, is actually better than the second Wonder Woman movie. So, so there's that. Anyway, it's fun time. I'll let you know what I think on the other side of it. All right. I promised last week I would tell you the noodles and company story. Yes. I'm seeing this photo, dude.

Oh. my god it's pretty bad so chat i'll show you this photo as well let's put this up on screen okay so this is what came to my daughter when she ordered a side salad from noodles and company along with the whatever else they got that had like freaking noodles in it and um sure it showed up at the door like this and just looked real real gnarly i mean it looks like one part of that is the center section that you throw away of the lettuce of the head of lettuce all of it does to me that looks like what you'd get you put in a like a um i don't know like a panda in a rabbit's cage yeah it's like oh where's the panda enclosure we need to feed him it's noon or whatever it's like that anyway

so we did that and it came and it was bad and i got on twitter and i wasn't even like super rude about it i just basically said ooh noodles and company i can't tell if this is really a side salad or some joke about probably a panda enclosure i think is what i did and then i just moved on didn't think much about it. Yeah. I get a, I get an email from the western states head of noodles and company, oh,

um, whatever. He manages everything in the, in the western region. So it's like California, uh, Arizona, you know what the west is.

And, uh, and, uh, and he, um, he was really contrite and apologetic, like really over the top, like,

wanting to make up for this. And I, I thought, oh, well, this is nice. And I said, well, you know, I don't, we're not here to get, I don't want to get anybody fired or anything. This, you know, for all I know, this is just them in a rush and they threw what they had in there. And I don't, you know, we just, he goes, yes, but we expect much more from iron this and that this and he asked me to give him the store. And I said, I will only tell you the store if you promise you're not going to get somebody fired over this. And he wrote back, says, I will not fire anybody.

This will all be confidential. I just want to be able to let that management know that, hey, you know, up your game when it comes to. about you're sending out. Do an actual salad. Yeah. So I believed him and took him in his word at that. I hope no one got fired. And then he wrote back and said, you know, thanks for letting us know.

It's really important to us that we take care of this stuff. And I was really, I was like genuinely impressed with all of this. And then he's, and then in the mail a couple days later, I got three free noodle bowl coupons. Nice. Good. That's funny. We actually had noodles and company this last week. Yeah.

Thursday night, we took it to trivia because the bar that we go to is a brewery only at the taphouse. And they say, yeah, order your grub hub, have it delivered here. There's a wing place around the way, et cetera. We're both like, yeah, kind of in the mood for, and I had cauliflower nochi. It was not zucchini. It was cauliflower nochi people. And it was great. It was super, super tasty.

Nothing wrong with a good bowl of. noodles with things in it. It's fine. Right. Yeah. But I would only get, I mean, I think I'd only get noodles there, and especially after seeing this. Yeah, don't get the salad is one. I guess what I'm saying is even after all of this, I'm still not sure the salad's a good choice. Also, when do they start just putting it in like a box? That seems a, it seems weird. Plastics usually your gym. To go order, right? Or did they serve that to you at the place? No, that's definitely a to go order. But my question is like, is a box really our best, is that our best solution for putting food in. I don't know. I guess it's waxed in there.

Would you rather have a paper sack? I'm not sure what you're... No. No, the salad itself. When's the last time you got a salad in a box in cardboard? It looks like a Chinese food kind of box. Oh, I don't know. It looks like... It's a Chinese food box with the lid open. That's kind of what I would expect, or a styrofoam tray. This one is a little bit more... I feel like it's always been in a plastic, translucent thing whenever I get one. Oh, I know what you're saying.

Like, yeah, their noodles absolutely come in those because that's what we got our noodles in on Thursday. Yeah. But, you know, some of suggested, by the way, that, uh, had I not had a, you know, decent following on Twitter and hadn't put this online, there would have been nothing. Um, maybe. You know, that's a weird part of life these days. Like, uh, you get more done with a tweet than you do with a phone call.

I don't know. I don't know. didn't feel like I like my goal was not to drag them my goal was just to say oh look at this like there's just a you know relatable moment of that's a nasty salad anyway moving on with my day but they responded they responded really well and we're really cool to uh to us so i just wanted to put a shout out for noodles and company at least you didn't tell them you know do a post that said that you were triggered by their uh by their salad yeah it's definitely not like a Definitely not like a Karen post at all.

Like not even. I'm thinking more of like the lines. Did you hear the Demi Lovato thing last month? No, what did she do? She started a tweet, not really a tweet war, but she called out a frozen yogurt place in Los Angeles because she went in there assuming that everything in there was sugar-free. And guess what?

You go to a frozen yogurt place. There are going to be some things there that have sugar. Almost all of it. There'd have dairy, some things, exactly. Isn't it the other way that you might get lucky if something sugar-free? Right, exactly. It's like you'll see a label if it's sugar-free. Yeah, yeah.

But apparently she assumed that everything in there was sugar-free because it's frozen yogurt. Of course, it's got to be sugar-free. And so she, like, immediately got on Instagram and said, this place sucks their, their, their food is not labeled. and it's triggering to those with eating disorders. Wow. Really? I'm going to say that's too much. I'm going to say she went over the line there.

I think she went over the line. That was a little bit of a little bit of carining. Yeah. I also think maybe she's in a place in her life where she, her expectations don't match reality is what I'm thinking. I think so very much. Yeah. Yes.

Yeah. Having, as someone who had a sugar-free sherbet this weekend. Yeah. I can tell you that that place had sugar everything and then one thing that said zero sugar shirbit, and that's the one I got to have. That's how it works, lady. Exactly. I don't even know any of her music. Give me a song.

Oh, it looks like I'm looking at what J.C. Calhoun posted. I think I might have gotten her wrong. It was the other way around. She slammed the shop for carrying sugar-free cookies and other diet foods, which she saw as perpetuating a culture of body shame and disordered eating. So it's even worse than I thought. Well, some of us are borderline diabetic. We can't have the shug.

So calm down, Karen. Exactly. Lame. I'm glad they're true. Truth, Trigris and I are in agreement here. I really like the places are having options. Otherwise, I don't eat. Totally, me too.

Her actual tweet was finding it extremely hard to order Froyo from at the Big Chill official when you have to walk past tons of sugar-free cookies and other diet foods before you get to the counter, she wrote. Do better, please. What? Is she the same one that did the video that's so super controversial that basically mimicked her overdose experience? And everyone's pissed out of it. Oh, God, did she really? Yeah, she did.

So she OD'd some time ago, I guess. And then this new music video is her singing through her overdose. She's in a hospital and the stuff tied to it and everything. And she thinks it's this expression of like, this is what I went through. I went through this, you know, this whole thing. And other people are looking at it and going, yeah, that's, that's a shitty. Shouldn't speak for everybody who have gotten a place in their life where an overdose has happened or there's anything like, like this is just not a good victim thing. I don't know.

Demi Lovato, who are you? What's the deal? I just remember her from that weird beach movie with James Franco or he was the pimp or whatever. What was that? Spring breakers? Spring breakers. Is that it? Yeah.

I've never seen it and I want to, but I know that it's very, uh, it looks, it looks creepy. It just looks creepy. It's garbageo, I thought. The music's really cool, though. I want to do with that. Oh, really? Oh, but it's not even, it's not even good. It's, I mean, I like the, how do I put this?

It's very purient and it's meant to just be like, ooh, yeah. young girls like there's something about it that's just really got a high creep factor i will say james franco either because maybe a real life experience i don't know but he's very good at this creepy pimpy guy sure sure and the girls all seem like they're on heroin and then when there's the beach parties there's some great like techno beach music that stuff's great other than that doesn't sound like enough that doesn't sound like enough for me to watch brian don't waste your time is what i'm I'm not going to waste my time. Okay.

Good. But I will say, speaking of dub, I didn't really say dub, but speaking of not wasting your time, Brian and I are going to give the big thumbs up to what the dub, a game we played on our play date on Friday or Saturday rather. That game's great. It's totally fun. A little dirty, but fun. Well, it's only dirty if you make it dirty, right?

I mean, it's easily made dirty. Let me put it that way. Easily made dirty. If you play this with the family, if you're, if you, if you, don't, if you're not tempted to put something rude or gross in as a, uh, as an answer to one of these things, then you're, uh, you're, you're not going to win. Yeah. It's really fun.

For those at home, we don't know, this is how it worked, basically. You'd get a old, uh, out of print, you know, non-copyrighted crappy movie clip. It was a very film sacky sort of stuff. And it would be a scene and in the scene, I saw one with Richard Price. That's the closest we got to like anyone I recognized. Um, the rest of them. Oh, then some price. Vincent Price. What I say? What I say.

Richard, Richard Price? Who even is that? I don't know. There's no Richard Price. Vincent's younger brother, yeah. Dick Price. Anyway, so then you, they say a thing and then they will have a blank space either in between dialogue or at the very end of this dialogue. It's a very short clip. And then the rest, then it's your job, all of you, to fill it in. Like say, well, what did they say? Create your own. Yeah. Right. And you're not trying to. Be accurate. You're trying to make people laugh.

You're trying to be the funniest. Exactly. It's like a typical jackbox game, even though this isn't jackbox. But it's one of those games where everybody comes up with an answer. Everybody votes on whose answer is funniest, that person gets the points. Yeah. Basically, yeah. And then you all laugh and have a good time.

Well, the basic trick of that is, of course you're going to be a little naughty, you know? Of course. You can't help it. The guy walked in and said, ah, one guy breathed in somebody else's face. Yes, right. A woman said, let me smell your breath. And he goes, ha. And then she says something.

And, of course, we're going to think of the worst possible thing. Right, of course. I had a poo for lunch or, you know, something horrible. Yeah. Cat vomit. Nipples kept coming up. The word nipple, I think, was the most used word in our entire game. Oh, yeah.

It was like four rounds in a row, just four nipples in a row. It's crazy. More nipples than any one man should have. I think people try to write things that sound like you would say them because they think they'll get votes because people will think that it's Scots. That did happen a couple of times. It was like, all right, guys.

It was really fun, though, and I recommend it. It's like eight bucks on Steam. It's like nothing. And they're about to put a big update in there to let you have the whole audience vote and play. Which is great, yeah. Yeah, the creator of the game actually even showed up for the, for TMS play date, and we were talking with them.

Oh, yeah, that's right. He's out there stream sniping, found us. Mark Nova. I think, or something like that, right? I feel bad. I should remember the guy's name. Zondar, Lord of the Fourth Dimension. I don't remember.

Mark Zorn. That's it. I knew there was a Z. I knew there's a Z. Anyway, it's a good time. Super cool. Very good stuff. Yeah. So check it out. What the Dub? On Steam and possibly other platforms I'm just not aware of. Okay.

It's time for us to play Babel Royale. And to do it, one Brian Dunaway asked to join the call. and I'm way behind, so... Sorry. So that tells you where I'm at. I can talk for a while while you're pulling Brian Donnelly and... He's on his way. Hey, in case we don't get to news today, Brian,

is there anything going on that you've released on podcast today? Anything that we can know? There is nothing today. Tomorrow we'll see some anti-P shows. Normally there's a soundography on Mondays, but there is not one today. Well, today is it's a Monday. We're taking it slow.

We're taking it easy. Taking it slow. Nothing wrong with that. All right, check this out. Welcome to the show Brian Dunaway, all the way from South Carolina. And honestly, he's always right here in our hearts anyway. So he never really needs. Brian, hi.

How are you? Oh, hi, Scott and Brian. How are you guys today? Hey, man. Good, sir. How are you? It's Monday. You can't take it easy on Monday.

I mean, that's Friday talk. On Monday, you're supposed to give it all your effort. So by Wednesday, you can be like, nah. you can coast a little bit gotcha good to know good to know put all your effort up front that a way you don't stress out later in the week man yeah did you say that away you did didn't you i like that away that's awesome way we do it yeah that's pretty good hey welcome to the show it's good to have you here we're gonna bring on a listener and play a little game let's find out who's been holding

hi thanks for holding who's this hey this is michael tiger fay from columbus ohio well hello michael tiger fay from columbus oh that voice yeah he sounds great it looks like he's in the room with me. Yeah, that's really good. That's the best, maybe the best we've ever had. Also, we met, right, when I was in Columbus? Didn't we meet? We didn't meet, but you did remove me from a reality show called America's Next Time podcast. Oh, that's

right. That's right, I did. Well, I say, I, you know, it was a group effort. All the judges participate. Well, we could look at the voting. I think it really was you. Yeah, yeah. I loved it there. I want to go back to Columbus when things get normal. I liked it. Oh, yeah. That's a cool town.

All right. We're going to now play this game. Brian Ibb and Scott to explain it though and work out what you could win. Brian? That's correct, Scott. So I'm writing his name here in the chat so that if we don't get his prize to him today, it's not like, oh yeah, who won

on Monday? I'm going to give Scott and Brian a topic. They're going to go back and forth with answers for that topic. If one of them gives a wrong answer, repeated answer, or they take too long to come up with an answer, well, the wind goes to the other player, naturally. Michael Tiger Faye, your job is to predict who is going to come out on top based

on today's topic. Today you're playing for a personal random sketch from Scott on a limited edition TMS card as well as a frog pants print pack or frobb pants as Scott wrote. Does that direct frog pants? Frog pants. Oh, okay, I have an announcement.

I was going to save this for later, but I'll go ahead and tell you now we're changing it to frog pants. Welcome. Oh, finally. Finally. Rob pants. I've been lobbying for, frobbing for this for a long time. All right, so before they can start, they need a topic.

Let's give them a topic. They might have expected this. They might have prepared for this because last week we did the Oscar winners. We did not. But most likely you did not. Last week we had the most nominated women in the history of the Academy Awards. Today, let's do the most nominated men in the history of the Academy Awards. I've got a list of about 30 names.

I did not write down the number like I usually do. Sorry, Bobby. But all of them have had five or more nominations for Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor. Keep in mind, like we saw with last week, some of these people might have gotten nominations for being a director, but those don't count. Only Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor. That's a good point. Okay. And then some of these have also won that includes those nominations.

Correct. Yes. Whether they won or not, it's how much. many times they got nominated. That matters. So, Michael Tiger Fahey, you've heard the confidence level of our contestants. Who would you like to go first? And the vigorous way Brian pronounced your name. Who would you like to go through?

Michael Tiger Fahey. And also, who do you think he's going to win? There's that, too. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Well, if I recall last week with the women, I think Scott did pretty well. I'm going to go ahead and say Scott and then let Brian go first. All right. You recalled correctly. I think at the end of last week, I said, please no more Oscar questions because I suck at them. Here we are, Monday.

Really? I remember if you said that or not. Yes, we did. The question was in the hat and if it wasn't about to change it. Here's why I think you should do fine because you are a film fan and I don't think a lot of these names will just come to you. I think you'll do just fine. I think I'm still going to win, but I think you'll do fine.

I'm going to go right at the top. I'm going to go with Robert De Niro. Bobby De Niro. By the way, I meant to tell you guys, you each have, just like we did last week, you each have two mulligans. Oh, two mulligans. I don't like how you brought that up immediately after my first answer. Makes me feel a little uncomfortable. Well, it's funny you say that because, no, I'm kidding. Robert De Niro's got seven nominations, five. for best actor, two for best supporting actor. He's only won

twice, and those wins were for the Godfather Part 2 and for Raging Bull. Godfather Part 2, interesting. Such a side roll. Okay. Okay. Let's do his buddy Al Pacino.

Let's get him in there. That's what I was good. Next. The other guy from that movie there, El Pacino, look! Take a flame throw into this place. nine nominations nine five best yeah but I went with the wrong one

you did well it doesn't matter it's not like you get more points higher in the list I know but I got the more cachet Al Pacino's only one once do you guys know the movie scent of a woman I believe yeah I just gave it to you basically yep that's exactly right yeah

I wonder what she smelled like um like a woman like a woman like that lady in that or like what's her name in that film cycle you just watched after being in that chip in 147 degrees. Anyway.

Well, it wouldn't be the Oscars if Jack Nicholson or maybe he wouldn't be a basketball game. Anyway, Jack Nicholson's always at the Oscars. Surely he must be doing more than just hanging out. He's going to go with... Go ahead. That's it. I'm going to go with Jack Nicholson. There you go.

I was just going to say, he's always in the front row, no matter what. He's always in the front row, whether it's a basketball game or the Oscars. I'm here and I'm happy. Yeah, that dude has 12. nominations. He's actually got the most nominations on the men's side of things. Nothing compared to Meryl Streep's

21. But Jack Nicholson has eight best acting and four best supporting acting nominations. He's won three times. Okay, I know these. First, best actor for the one with Helen Hunt as good as it gets.

Yes. His cameo in Prince's The Batman. Shut up. No. Now you threw me. I can't remember the other two. Oh, good. One flew over the cuckoo's nest.

He went for that? He did win for that, yes. Okay, and then... Ah, shit. I don't remember the third one. Terms of Endermann. And where? I was inches from a clean getaway.

It should have been. It was a very competitive year in 06, 07, so I'm not surprised, but he should have won for the departed. He was so good on the departed. Yeah, he really was, yeah. Oh, my gosh, so good. Okay. All right. Back to you, Scott.

All right. Let's go with, uh, oh, I just slipped who I was going to pick. Um, what's the upper limit again? Is it six? What was it? Five. Five or more nominations. Uh, I think probably Jimmy Stewart.

Jimmy Stewart. Jimmy Stewart has been nominated, uh, exactly five times. Oh, who. Um, never nominated for Best Supporting Actor because when you have Jimmy Stewart, in your movie. He is the best actor. Five nominations, only one win,

and it wasn't for any of his Hitchcock stuff. It was the Philadelphia story in 1941 that James Stewart won for. Nice. I thought he won for Mr. Smith, or maybe he was nominated.

I don't know. He was nominated, but he did not win for Mr. Smith, Ghost Washington. What about that, what about that monkey movie? What was that one?

Yeah. Or am I thinking about the rabbit one? You're thinking about the invisible rabbit. Harvey? That's it. Harvey, that's it. Harvey. That's it.

yeah oh my god wait for making me i'm gonna lose the wonderful life no i've got one in my head shut up um it's definitely definitely gonna be dustin hopman definitely got to be definitely definitely definitely a couple of times uh yeah seven nominations for best actor zero nominations for best supporting actor oh i know he doesn't support does he he doesn't support he's unsupportable uh kramer versus kramer and rain man his only wins in the uh I knew Rain Man was one. I wasn't sure about the other. Yeah, definitely.

I thought he won for, or no, he's nominated for best supporting in that American Gigolo, right? Was he nominated? Was Dustin Huffman even in American Jiglo? Yes. How about his role in Meet the Parents Part 2? No, no, you're thinking of Midnight Cowboy. Or Midnight Cowboy, that's what I meant. Yeah.

He knew it was one about dude prostitutes. I knew that. He might have been nominated for Best Actor for that. But not supporting. Even though Voight was kind of the main. Well, I think Voight did get nominated for Best actor. I thought supporting, I thought there was a supporting nom for him. I guess not.

I'm going to look it up here. Because he definitely was nominated for Best Actor for Midnight Cowboy. Really? So it might have been, it might have been one of those situations where it was dual. I think it was. Did they nominate Voigt? Because Voight's terrible. Did he get anything?

Yes. John Voigt was also nominated for Best Actor. As the Anaconda. Yeah, as the guy that got spit out the Anaconda and winked at it. All right. Continue on, Brian. Your turn. Is it my turn again?

Or is it my turn? Wait. Who got the last one? That was Scott had that one. Okay. No, I'm sorry. What did he say? Because I said, Dustin Hoffman.

Oh, right. I didn't hear what he said. I was like, oh, crap. I missed it. No, that's my turn. Okay. It is back to Scott. Okay, let's do

Denzel Washington. Oh, that's the point. Danzel Washington. Eight nominations, six for best actor, two for best supporting actor. His two wins. Wait, let me guess. Yep.

The one with... One I think is obvious and the other one's like, oh, yeah, right. The one with the... The training day. Training day. Training days. Yeah, and then two.

Hold on. Does Scott get any extra points for this? Because we're really just. Did he win for, I know, but I'm just, I'm, this is trivia I'm good at. Glory. No, he's nominated in Glory. Are you sure you're going to this? He did win for glory.

I think you're good at this. I do, did you remember that he got nominated and won for glory? I don't think you did. I did. All right. I'll take it and I'll take my win Oh my God Okay

I'm going to go with the I'm going to go with The other ones I remember the ones that have all the controversy around them I'm going to go with Leonardo DiCaprio If we're being nominated 20 times And never being ever Or until recently selected, right? He won for a

That's exactly right, yes He won for that bear time? Would he win for Scott? The bear wrestling movie That's absolutely right. Yes. He won for the Revenant. Revenant.

That is his only win despite having six nominations. Five for best actors. Yeah. Five for Best Actor won for supporting actor, but... He got a supporting actor for Gilbert's Grape. And then a whole bunch of other shit. Departed's in there for an om. Yeah.

I think the Aviator. Yeah. Maybe. Maybe Inception. I don't remember with Inception. Probably not. was too much of a big crowd pleaser yeah i don't think that was um let's see he was nominated for let's see you know it's hilarious is though the least amount of acting he actually did was in

the revenant because he was like muted for most of the movie it's such a bummer that's that's what they find is that you're doing it right they said uh aviator blood diamond wolf of wall street the revenant and once upon a time in hollywood oh okay oh blood diamond's good blood diamond's underrated everyone should see blood diamond. It's very good. Anyway. It is good. All right. I think you should have won one for just saying rose so many times. It's a lot of times. Okay. Let's do, let's get your, let's get your, um, I think Morgan Freeman's probably on this list. Morgan Freeman? Oh, didn't you already think correctly? Yes, he's had five nominations, only one win. Three best actor, two, supporting actor, one for driving Miss Daisy.

Driving Miss Daisy. No, I would have thought that too Hold on, hold on Really? Yeah, really Driving Miss Daisy That would have been my My guest too

He was nominated for that But he did not win Oh, I've got that all wrong in my head then What was the movie? Million Dollar Baby This is finally his win Um Blue

Yeah, uh, Street Smart in 1987 nomination for Driving Miss Daisy the nomination for Shashank and nomination for Invictus, but his only win was a supporting actor for a million dollar baby. Okay. I've never

seen that movie. Mm, baby. It's good. It's what you'd expect from a boxing sports movie, like well, it sounds like a cut above though, right? Because, you know, that thing was

nominated for all sorts of shit that year. Like, it's better. It's good, but it's not It's not unpredictable, I guess, is sports movies that win Oscars usually aren't, though. Rocky's a good example of one that was kind of unpredictable. Yeah, that's good. That's good point. I know.

You didn't think it was going to win, and they came back at the very end of the way. You know what a great movie that should have won all the awards of sports movie? Miracle. If you've never seen Miracle, amazing. Even if you don't like hockey or the 80s, watch it. It's great. If you don't like hockey or the 80s. Well, it's happened in the 80s.

You want me to watch your stupid hockey 80s movie. They didn't come out in the 80s. It's newer than that, but it's very good. Michael, or, um, I can think of his name. No, the miracle is about Miracle on Ice, right? No, what are two things that are going to happen here? The natural was the baseball one. Natural is the baseball one.

But Miracle's based on a real story. It was us beating the Russians during the height of the Cold War, and it's, uh, I can't think of his name. One of the two things is going to happen here. You're going to give me an answer. Who's Star Lord's dad, though? Who, what's his name? Kurt Russell.

Kurt Russell. He's amazing. He's a coach in it. He's really good. All right. Go ahead. Continue. Okay.

Do you want to use that one, Brian? I don't think Kurt Russell's on that list. Okay. You know me? I'm like I said, I'm going to stick with the, I'm going to stick with the, not necessarily controversial, but it definitely made some buzz. Some people were giving it some crap. I'm going to go with Joaquin Phoenix.

Oh, Joaquin. Phoenix. Not sixth. Uh-oh. I don't like to. Am I saying it wrong? Is that the problem? Joaquin Phoenix.

Wachon, Phoenix. Waukeen. Brother of River Phoenix. Only. Go ahead. Four, nine. Shut of a lot hole. Three best actor and one best supporting actor, of course, he did get his one win.

A couple years ago for the Joker. Dole. There's your first, your first. What about when he got stabbed that one time? That one time. In the village. Yeah, you got that. That was a supporting actor.

Adrian Brody. stab him right in the gut all right Brian you got a rapid fire the next one it's my turn okay I'm not going to go with controversial never shows up Marlon Brando

it's a very good one like okay good yeah that's a very good one to say seven best actor nominations one best supporting actor nomination very famously had Sashin Little Feather go and accept his award for

Hold on, let me guess. Yeah, go ahead. Godfather. Yeah, exactly. Yep. Did you get one for Streetcar Name Desire or he's nominated that year? He did not. He won for on the waterfront and the Godfather and that's it.

Did you get the best supporting for Apocalypse now? Was that the thing? He should have. Because that's a hell of a thing, man. That is a hell of a thing. People should watch that movie now. Streetcar name desire. Viva Zapata, Julius Caesar.

on the waterfront, Sianar, the Godfather, Last Tango in Paris, and a dry white season, his only nomination. So, wait, a dry white season? Yeah.

Dry white season. That's what you have after you're done putting butter on your, on your bum from the other movie from Paris. No, they don't want to be dry. You know, you want it before, right?

That's what I'm saying. That's exactly right. It's too late. At that point. All right. Dice Tomato says, wait, are there any women on this list?

No, of course. Well, we said best. male actor. We didn't say actor, so you would think, right. Yeah, Wibben was last week. That was last week. That's hilarious.

All right, let's do Tom Hanks, I think. Maybe follows up to this. Oh, dang, that's a good one. Oh, why not think of that? It's a very good one. It's a good one because it's right. Six nominations. Five for best actor, one for best supporting actor. One twice?

Ferris Bueller. Forrest Gump and twice you say oh Philadelphia is the other one Philadelphia is Philadelphia that's a good one that's a good one I don't know I remember this I don't even watch the Oscars isn't that weird I know well you can know the Oscars without yeah I used a case I wasn't alive when George Washington was president but I'm still aware that he was president well I'm just saying I've got a pretty good knowledge of a trivial aspect of life not just not the first president of the United States a little bit

different. All right, Donaway, your turn. Yeah. It seems like I remember after Sean Penn beat up Madonna,

he went on to the Oscars. Yeah, that was right. No, wait, he beat up the reporter. No, that's not right. He beat up the reporter.

Exactly. Oh, that's right. Yeah. I knew he beat up somebody. Anyway, yeah, I'm going to go with Sean Pink.

They're always, they're always saying he's good at stuff. That was totally wasted. Five times. He was nominated for best actor and zero times for best

supporting actor, but he has two wins. Dead Man Walking That's better than I thought I thought I was out I thought I lost Oh Dead Man Walking and one other thing

Oh Not the one of the one of their childhood friends Was like a molester and they found a body or something What was that called? Yeah that was called Mystic River And that actually is the one that he got nominated That he won for He was good at that

Not win for Dead Man Walking I think only Susan Sarandon won for that one. But he'd also one for milk. Oh, milk. Harvey Milk. Where's Harvey Milk? Where's Harvey Milk? Are you Harvey Milk?

Are you Harvey Milk? All right. Sorry. Oh, my turn. It is. Back to you, yes. Guy, what, just retired. You'll drink your Harvey milkshake.

Um, uh, oh! I will come for you no matter what occurs. Hold on Hold on This is fine No we're not going to help you You're kidding This is the best part

This is the best part You're struggling Uh Why can't I think of that guy's name It's called age Uh no I'm gonna Uh

I'm gonna Uh I can't think of his name All right I'll say George Clooney We'll wait here all day We have to I can't think of the other guy

So George Clooney I can't think of the other guy's I can't think of the other guy. Oh, no, really? I can't think of it right now. All right, well, let's move over to George Clooney then. I know he's done a much. You give you some time to think about that one.

Think about your answer. Although, you won't have much time to think because scouts can have to come up with another one. George Clooney has four nominations, three best actors, three best actor, one supporting actor. I just thought of it. Can I change or do I have to? You're the rules. Well, George Clooney stole your mulligan, your first mulligan, so. Oh, okay.

so that was wrong. That was wrong. All right. He did it directing stuff, too, and I think that's what I'm mixing all in there. All right. So let's do, let's get Daniel Day Lewis as his freaking name. Oh, that's a good one. Yes, Daniel Day Lewis, six nominations, all for Best Actor.

He's won half of them. He's won three times. Okay. Because of the milkshake movie. Uh-huh, uh-huh. The one where he's the name of the father or someone's got his father's name, whatever that is. In the name of the father.

And then I don't know. No, okay. So he lost actually to Tom Hanks, the same year of in the name of the father, lost to Tom Hanks for Philadelphia. His other, his wins were my left foot, there will be blood,

milkshake. And Lincoln, he's also nominated for Phantom Thread and Gangs of New York. Okay. Oh, he's so good. He's so good in that. Gangs of New York.

Do you don't? The top? Pat? Oh, he's the top hat. Oh, wait a minute. Yes, I do. Okay, wow. He's the top hat.

I've seen it once. You should see it again. It's fantastic. It made a big impact on me, right? I can't we go back to see it again. Who else is in there? DiCaprio. Who's in that?

DiCaprio's in it, yeah. And so I saw this movie yesterday, so I'm just going to go with some actors that are in my head. He's fishing for actors, Scott. Don't let him get away with it. Right? We already did DeCaprio. Shut up, I bit. You're supposed to be a bystand.

I'm not going to give you You buy a piece of poo. I'm giving you nothing new. Nothing I don't already know. Right. Go for it. Okay, so I watched falling down to the day.

I'm going to go with Michael Douglas. Oh, good. Michael Douglas. He seemed like somebody who at least got nominated. I don't know if you were going to do. Yeah. Why don't you serve? It's 959.

Why can't I get breakfast. Let's go ahead and eat your breakfast there. Just settle down. Yeah. Michael Douglas. Good choice, except not for this. Michael Douglas has been nominated.

Where is it? Twice, right? Oh, my God. Isn't it that bad? I think it's twice. I'm not even finding him. Yeah, he's Hollywood loyalty. Doesn't matter.

I think it's twice for him. If I, nomination, I mean, you never won anything. Yeah, I'm looking. Hold on a second. I do want to find out. While you're thinking about your second answer. I've already got one. Where do you got?

I'm going to go with Robert Deval because I watch the same movie, and I'm just grasping at actor straws. Robert Deval? Yeah. Yes. Robert Deval. What do you say it like that? Yeah, Robert Deval is a good choice.

Seven nominations. Three for Best Actor, four for Best Supporting. Oh, God, I should have went with him first. He's often supporting it. actor and he's always good man that guy's great um all right good pick brian that saved you saved your saved your ass oh god so why may have left us to have one uh well you don't have no that was your second mulligan so you can't so i've got but i'm still on the game yeah you're still in the game yeah okay so i just got to wait for scott to mention another actor by accident

exactly all right all right let's go back in time i'm thinking old actors now and we're gonna go with uh with uh let's does the get look let's dust off old carry grant for a minute. Here. See what's going on. That's a good choice. Carrie, Carrie, Grant. Judy, Judy, Judy. He's great. Where is he in this list? I know he's in the list. I know he's in the list.

Oh, he's got to be in there. Are you kidding? What? I'm not kidding. Hold on. Hold on. Mulligan number two. I know. I don't think he's Oh, my goodness.

No. Only twice. Where the heck is it? Nominations, there we go. Really? You got it for the Academy's Special Honorary Oscar in 19- Oh, no, he got a runner up with the Special Honorary. You can't win, squat. There we go.

Penny Serenade and None But the Lonely Heart, two nominations. Okay. Damn it. I have to go right away, right? I'm still looking for Michael Douglas. I'm giving you a second. I don't know why he's not in the list, even like saying, um,

oh, yeah, just, uh, one nomination for, for Michael, and it was, it was probably for the, the one where,

what's her name for example? Yeah, Wall Street. Oh, Wall Street's the only one. I'm surprised. That's right. Wall Street.

But he did win for it, but, um, apparently greed was not that good. No. Clearly not. Ooh, I'm really torn on this. But old school is really good.

I didn't think about all the old stuff. And it makes more sense because we talked about it last week. It's like the longer in Hollywood, the greater chances. Well, let's go with our most, the dude who just won. Let's go with Anthony Hopkins. Go with that guy. That's a good one. Six nominations for Anthony Hopkins.

Most recent one didn't even bother showing up. Four nominations for Best Actor. Two nominations for Best Supporting Actor. You're a terrible 80-year-old man not wanting to travel the world during COVID to accept your stupid six. He said, no way I'm getting it. Bozeman's getting it. I'm just going to stay here. I'm not even going to watch the Oscars.

Yeah. I really think he thought that. I think so too, yeah. Two wins, including the father, of course, the other one, the other obvious one, Silence of the Lambs. Right. Which one, every major category. In the third movie, I'll eat the brain of that guy from. That other movie.

All right. All right. That's another movie. It's your turn. Oh, it's my time. It's my time now, Scott. Good fellas. That's who I'm at.

Down here, it's my time. Up there, it's your time. He ate Ray Leota's brain in the third. The problem is you didn't give me any good. Nope. Good stuff on that one, Scott. He didn't. He didn't spill any other actors.

And I'm still trying to be old school. I know he said Jimmy Stewart. And I said Marlon Brando. It's not middle, middle Hollywood, not super. old. Did you say Kerry Grant? I think that's what you said.

I don't know, didn't me? He went up that he went with the Queen of the Nile that one time. Humphrey Bogart did a couple of decent films back in the day. Pretty good call. But he's more like, but he's more like the people's champion. But I'm going to go ahead and

go with Humphrey Bogart. Maybe he, maybe he'll still nominated him. I'm not not liking how quiet images you know. Humphrey Bogart three times. Oh no. Unfortunately. Yeah, three best actor nominations, only won once for the African Queen.

Yeah, African Queen. Dang, dude. He was on my list of, like, last second, like, safety calls. I'm sure he would have been a good choice. But that means Michael Tiger Fahey is a winner. We're still awake. Chicken dinner. Yeah.

How are you doing over there? You doing all right? You keep them with us? Doing great. Yeah. I was taking a little break from setting for my law school finals this morning, checking in on TMS, and I happen to get on the show. Oh, that's great.

I'm always looking for pro bono kind of somebody in the audience who can help us out with a weird case here and there. So I'm glad you're getting close to bar. When you pass the bar, you let us know. We'll bug you, I'm sure. Yeah, maybe in a couple years. But yeah, I've been working on my podcast after A&TP, and it's going well.

Clark Gable Clark Gable

uh no actually I thought he would have been a good one too somebody said Michael Keaton Michael Keaton I think has only been nominated once for Mr. Mom no he read one for a big short or not big short

the one about the Catholic molester thing was he nominated? Yeah wasn't he nominated for Spotlight? Let me take a look here he's not on the list which is two or more Hmm. Maybe not. I may remember that wrong. He was excellent in that.

He was excellent. Yeah, only, only 2015. He'll get a posthumist for duplicity or multiplicity when he dies. It'll all be done. That's right. All right. Here's everybody else you could have said really quickly. Lawrence Olivier, Spencer Tracy, Paul Newman, Jack. Did we say Paul Newman? Nobody said Paul Newman. Peter O'Toole. He's a tool. Jeff Bridges. What? Richard Burton. Kane. Oh, Michael

Cain, of course. Gary Cooper, Gene Heckman, Frederick Mersh. Wait, is it the same Michael Kane that Christopher Nolan's stunt cast in all of his films? Is that the same? That's the same, the very same one. All right. Paul Mooney,

Gregory Peck, Albert Finney, and Arthur Kennedy. Nice. Arthur Kennedy. His name's really... I wouldn't have guessed most of them. Good old Arthur Kennedy. Yeah, I don't know who that is. You know from films like, oh i love that one yeah that's a really good one he was also obviously he was really good yeah his director's cut was good the colorization pretty bad idea anyway

hey uh brian you did it uh you helped you helped somebody win that's what matters right i i just so hope that next week is another oscar question i'm in see what's funny is brian tries to see them all before the oscars i tend to see them trickle after and uh I'm kind of on my way with that. I've got a few under my belt, and I'm going to keep going. Sure. It's too bad we didn't trickle back to last year.

Parasites happening. It's happening. It's there. It's for me. I'm going to see it. There's no way that parasite's going to be as good as all the lead-up that I've been giving it. Like, the more asking. If I had, okay, let's say I had this, there's a TV screen, and here's that.

And then right next to it is that octopus teacher. Oh, my octopus teacher, yes. I should watch that first or what should I watch in order? How should I handle it? Watch Octopus Teacher when Carter is available to watch it with you and she's in the chat room. Hey, Carter. Oh, good. And then watch Parasite at your convenience.

At leisure. So, Carter, no reason. Just want you to, you know, watch a movie with me and she's mad at me because yesterday we're watching that Mitchell's versus the machines, which I cannot recommend enough. and it has a very sweet, sad, but melancholy kind of family moment. She's mad at me because it's on and I'm going, I'll bet this is making her a little sniffly. So I just lean forward and look at her and then she's like, stop it, dad, what kind of dad looked at me while I'm in? And she's like, all pissed at me because I watched her cry while the thing happens. Tina does the same thing.

She doesn't get mad that I make her watch a sad thing. She gets mad if I look over at her and she's wiping it too. sure away. It's like, look at me. I'm a monster. I didn't ruin the moment. She says I ruined it. I didn't. I just looked at you. That's all. Carter in the chat room says, the trailer for my octopus teacher made me cry. I like it. She's emotionally in sync with things, and it makes me happy. And I know she's annoyed when I do this, but I like it. Anyway, all right. That's it. Brian, we're going to do the boop show tomorrow. So everybody tune in tomorrow afternoon. 3.30 Mountain Time where we talk about indie games, indie news, indie stuff. We're all about the indies there on the boop show. Anything else you want to mention before we go? Sure. If you want to tune in tonight, I'll be doing my boop show homework. We are the caretakers.

Real-time strategy, Scott. Oh, RTS, you say. Oh, I have that one, too. I'm curious what your take on that is. Yeah, I also have it. It's very weird, that game. Yeah. But we'll talk about all that tomorrow.

Bye. All right. He's gone. Now we're going to take a break. When we come back, we're running a little late, but not too bad. We'll have Bill here. We've got a great question for Bill that I think a lot of us will relate to. So stick around for that.

And then, of course, Stephen Schlecker after that. Before all that, though, a song prepared, curated, cooked and served by Brian Emmett. Yeah. So it's been a long time since I've played some electronic music on here. So let's get to that. This is from Australia. It's by a guy named Timothy Poulton, who performs as Timothy and the Apocalypse. They have a brand new, he has a brand new album as first.

LP called Future So Bright. Here is the first song from it. It's called You Oughta Love Me. Here's Timothy in the Apocalypse. Thank you. You want to love me. You want to love me. You want to love me. You want to love me. They have to be a lot. You want to love me.

They are you the truth. You want to love me. Take a lot of me. Take a lot. Oh, you want to love me. Please. You are to love me. They are.

You want to love me. Day of a birthday, Oh, Oh, Oh, and you're on

birthday please I'm so I'm on, and You know, I'm going to be able to be. You know,

You all love me. You all love me. You are love me. You love me. You are love me. PINISO-LIN-A-MAL-A-M-A-L-A-L-A-L-A-L-L-A-L-L-A-L-L-A-L-L-A-V-L-A-V-N-A-L-L-A-L-B. What you're laughing at it. What are you laughing at?

Why do you laugh so much? What are you happy? We purified by our kisses are eternally healed. This is the morning stream. A lot of recommendations for that octopus teacher there in the chat. That's very, very good. You're going to see it. All right, that song, once again.

Once again, that song is from Timothy in the Apocalypse. It's called You ought to love me, but they say that name so many times you've probably already figured it out. Oh, very nice. All right. Let's get Bill in here and have a little Bill time. Your bat caves open there, Bill. Welcome to the show, everybody. Bill Duran. He is punished Prop's own, and he joins us, as he always does on Mondays. Talk a little bit about the world of makers and making things. Bill, welcome back to the program. Good morning. Sorry, we're late. We usually get you about 10 minutes ago, but we're...

I play Brian Dunaway. Not really. It's his fault. We know it is. Completely his fault. Nobody else's. Those games never go long. because he always has to introduce. I love his introductions of stuff. His answers are never just like, Tom Hanks. It's, well, we know him from such films as and these TV things and he'll just go for a day before he'll say the name. I love it. Don't go changing. All right. Hey, Bill's here. We're going to talk a little bit about, this is a question. I'm really glad somebody asked because I have this question of Bill. And I know how I handle it, but it's also a different world of creation that I live in than Bill does. And so maybe he handles it differently. So I'll just read it. Here it is. It's from somebody named How House Boys with a Z, House underscore Boys. My favorite rap group from the 90s. That's a cool name. It says, hey, has Bill ever scrapped a project midway through because things just weren't working out? And if so, how does he deal with that and move on?

Simple question. Probably not a simple answer. I don't know. But Bill, how do we want to address that? What do you do when you've got something? You're like, oh, man, this is just not working out. I got to start over or whatever. Oh, yeah.

I have a gigantic pile of shame. These are projects that were started and never finished. These are, there are dozens of projects that have stalled in the research phase. I have several scratch builds that have completely stalled. And I have many, many unpainted resin kits. Some of them, many of them I've traded friends. I make resin kits. My friends make resin kits we traded.

Some of them I've paid lots of money for. And they're just sitting on the shelf. It's my pile, my personal pile of shame is actually probably a lot larger than most people. But also, I've started hundreds of projects. Yeah. And I'm here to say it's okay. It's all right to have a big pile of unfinished projects. For you, it's like a sketchbook, just very physical object-oriented sketchbook.

Yeah, kind of. Yeah. Because I've heard this before from other people, Andrew Smith here in Salt Lake, who does a lot of sculpture work, made that big hand with the gun trophy that we use at Nurtacular. Oh, yeah, yeah. Really, really talented dude. And he's used to making big installations of crazy perpetual machines and ball rollers and all that kind of stuff. And I've been to his little, like, construction barn place.

And it feels like that, like a, if you didn't know anybody, you'd say, well, what's this junkyard full of wonderful things? But what it is, it's a million ideas. and how you jot those down is you go weld three things together. That's the sketch. And then you may put it away for a while and then later come back to it or you may never. But for those of us who work with paper or digital,

we don't, you know, we have stacks of paper. We don't have a warehouse full of stuff. So it just seems like... Suddenly you've got to find a place to put all these unfinished projects. Yeah. It's orders of magnitude, bigger of a management problem.

And in your case, I mean, right now that you're in between studios, you're moving stuff around, And that's probably even harder, right? Because you kind of have to temporarily, not downsize, but you have to strip a little bit before you move out again and then get bigger again. And, no, no, it sounds hard. It's actually, it's kind of convenient. Anything, I moved my entire shop three years ago and I'm moving in again now.

Anything that I stumble upon that I haven't touched in three years. Like there are projects I have moved from my basement to the shop. And those projects are going to get moved back from the shop to the basement. having never been worked on. I can take the opportunity to look at those projects and be like, hey, Bill, be honest with ourselves, you ever going to do this thing? Does it make the move?

So I may do some culling. But I do want to mention to anyone, and I know lots, everyone who makes stuff has projects they never finish. It's cool. Those projects, if you keep them, they may re-inspire you a few years down the road. Or maybe you'll end up taking that, half-finished thing and passing it on to someone else

if they want to finish it. Sure. Or maybe you got everything you wanted out of that part of the build and it'll never see the light of day again. And that's fine too. Yeah. That's totally fine. I even have a builder and unfinished project. I've got the space

gun that I've glued together, sanded and gotten ready to paint and I've never painted it. Oh, man. Yep. Yep. He did his finished his part. I've never painted one for myself, Brian. Don't you worry.

I've painted a lot of them. Don't worry. I just don't have any myself. Yeah. That's hilarious. And after having painted like 20 or 30 of them, I don't really want one for myself. Yeah. Well, do you have anything that you have had where you're like midway through it and you realize it's not going to work?

And then you just feel regret about it or does that just not even enter your mind? Do you just move on? Not really. Usually what happens is I get really amped about a project. I started for a couple of weeks and then something else captivates my imagination. And I just sort of drift away from that other project

and then after a while I see it sitting there and I'm like, let's just put that in the box and put it on a shelf and forget about it. And that's kind of just what happens. Yeah. That sounds better for me. If for anyone having trouble

this specific case, let's say you're the kind of maker who starts projects but has trouble finishing them, right? Um, every project you start never gets finished. Uh, something to consider, if you're stuck in this bind, is to look at the entire build process and pick out which steps you enjoy versus the ones you don't. Uh, and in that case, consider joining forces with another maker who enjoys the parts of the build that you don't enjoy as much. Uh, if you, uh, we'll stick with prop and costume making. If you really don't like painting, right?

But you are totally cool with like scratch building stuff. Like you enjoy the fabrication part. Maybe you're the fabricator and you find a partner who can paint and the two of you work together to make really cool stuff. Right. That's a really good point. I love 3D printing. Not so great at 3D painting.

Right, right. Or 3D modeling. So I know a lot of makers who are in the cosplay scene. But they focus on the 3D modeling part, and they'll offer that as a service to other cosplayers who need a 3D model of a prop made, and they'll hire out to them. They've found, like, they're good at 3D modeling. That's the part they enjoy the most. Just focus on that part of the build and team up with other people to get projects finished.

That's totally cool, too. And then the other thing to consider, when we make something, when we engage in the act of making, we're looking to have a specific experience during that process. we want to eventually have a thing and end product but the hours spent creating we want to tailor that experience too and consider what it is that you want to get out of that experience and focus on it

the last thing here I have is how do I finish so many projects so how do I do I was just actually updating my list I have a list of every project I've finished since 2009 I finished 212 projects. And those are all individual projects. So, for example, my Kickstarter was one project, but I cast 130 guns for that project. So just to keep that in mind, I've finished a ton of projects, and I haven't even listed my books on here.

How have I done that? Well, first of all, it's part of my job. If I don't finish any of my projects, I don't make a living. That's a really good motivator. Yeah. Mortgage is the ultimate motivator. Right. And I can tell we've gone through periods where we've posted lots of videos

or we've gone through periods where we haven't posted very many videos at all. And I can watch the numbers. Literally the income. I can see the graph of it starting to dip a bit when we don't finish a lot of projects, when we don't put a lot of work out. Right. And that's like, whoop, whoa, boy, that's starting to get a little small. we better put some more projects out.

Better finish some of those projects we've been meaning to do. Sure. I've also been able to find a craft where I generally enjoy every step of the process. I like planning a build. I like fabricating it. I like molding and casting. I like painting. I enjoy every step of it.

I also enjoy filming it. I also enjoy being on camera. If you find yourself stalling after the first step of every project in a certain hobby, let's say you give cosplay a try and you just can't get into it perhaps experiment with other similar hobbies i know so many people who got into making through cosplay but have turned to a different creative pursuit kind of halfway through a lot of people have gone to like painting minis for d and d or warhammer i see so many people transitioning their cosplay hobby into other creative pursuits well because they there's there's plenty of

connective creative tissue between those two things and you might find you prefer one over the other or whatever sure yeah that makes sense oh especially like like painting armor or painting props hand painting stuff or learning how to airbrush those skills translate to so many other hobbies sure sure sure um I'm excited the new version of um we got a glimpse at it at the last apple event but the new version of procreate has model painting yeah um stuff built into it paint onto a model yeah looks really rad. I can't, I can't even quite tell what's going on there yet, but the community around

ProCreat is losing their minds. They're pretty excited about it. So we'll see what happens. One would assume once that hits out, that will also include all sorts of export options and 3D printing options and all sorts of stuff because those guys tend to go pretty pro with that. Yeah, that sounds really cool. We'll see what they do.

There's two more things here. One, deadlines. Even if you make up deadlines yourself, which is, what I do. There's no one telling me I have to put out a video on a certain day. But those work really well for me. If I have a self-imposed deadline, I know it has to be finished by that point, and I tend to meet those deadlines. But also, when you're starting a project, making milestones can help a lot too. Even if you just write down like five steps that you want to hit during this project, I find that helps me always having the next step to look forward to, which helps get me to that. And it also keeps me on track. It keeps my progress on track, which is really helpful. Nice.

Nice. You said there was one more thing, sorry. I think I covered it. There you go. There you got them all in one. You got two for one, two for a two for. Right on, right on. Well done.

Well, great advice. And if any of you, hopefully some of you are like, oh, I don't feel so bad about not finishing that thing. And maybe I'll get back to it. And maybe just don't think about it so much. Move on to the next thing. It's not that big a deal. Remember, remember that even if you're having trouble finishing your projects that

Bill doesn't finish all of his projects, too. There you go. But also that I have finished a lot. Yeah, finish more than you don't, maybe. That's a good goal. That is a healthy goal. If you're finishing, you don't want a DaVinci this thing. He was only super popular after he died.

So, you know, try to do more while you're alive. All right, hey, that's going to do it there for Bill. Usually leave us with a little bonus link to somebody else's work or whatever. What do you got this? Yeah. Got a video from Destin over at Smart. Every Day. They made a little weed whacker

combat arena. Smarter every day is the channel. Two weed eat each other as the name of the video. They're trying to figure out what the strongest weed eater wire is. So they pit them all against one another in a chaotic, like, ballet. Battle Royale. Oh, this is hilarious. Of insanity.

It's awesome. Oh, my gosh, they really go all in here. This looks so dangerous. Like, yes. The slow motion is so cool, though. It's so cool. Oh, wow. Yeah, they, okay.

They have a bracket and everything. Yeah. I'm full and I'm glad they're not holding the weed whackers like that they've got machines that are doing it. Yeah, they built a whole rig for it. Yeah. Yeah, they deserve the 1.1-42 million views that video's gotten. Absolutely. That's very good.

All right. Bill Duran, everybody. Punishprops.com is the place to go and follow him on Twitter while you're at it. He's at Chinbeard. Bill, have a fantastic week. Toot-loo. Bye now. See you. That's pretty cool. I'm going to watch that. That is really cool. God, seeing those things in slow motion, you don't realize how flexible and malleable they are. Right.

They look like slim spaghetti noodles, but things. But when it's happening, you feel like it's like laser whipping. Yeah. It's really, really cool. all right uh what do we do now oh yeah couldn't remember what i was typing here we go stephen schliker from major spoiler is going to be joining i wonder if you'll want to talk about that new marvel uh

he very well he very well might i loved it it was awesome i did too i had the feels oh so good finally seeing a little bit of little bit of footage from eternals too yeah we get an idea at least the tone of it sort of it's not a lot but uh all right well let's play this so we can do this. Steven Schleiker. Steven Schlecker. Hey, look who it is. Steven Schleiker from Major Spoilers.com,

where all your pop culture needs are met. Hello, Stephen. Hello, Scott. Hello, Brian. Hello. Hey, so what did you think of that thing? I assume you saw the little Stinger trailer thing for... The Disney thing? Yeah.

Where they changed all the dates on some of the things. Yeah. But finally gave us some names that we hadn't seen before. Yeah. What's the Marvels? Tell me more about the... Marvel's. Is Marvel's like a Ms. Marvel and Captain Marvel

and all the Marvel people? Exactly right. Marvel's Ms. Maisel, I believe. Exactly. Exactly. So the Marvels is Captain Marvel 2, but in addition, we are also going to get the introduction to Ms. Marvel. That's why you have the

S on the end, Kamala Khan, who is probably one of the newer characters in the Marvel universe. Maybe mostly, she gets a lot of attention because of her Muslim heritage that she is. And so, you know, it's going to be pretty interesting to see that representation on the screen.

In fact, that's one of the stories we were talking about this week because over the weekend or late last week, they actually had the actress Amman Volani in her official suit from the movie from stuff that was being shot on the street. So it's pretty cool. Well, from the movie or from the TV show? Oh, yeah, that's right, from the TV show. Right, right, right, right. From the TV show, but then she's also going to be in the movie as well. Right.

And she looks great, and I really like that character. I love it when a comic, when a comics studio, well, you know, Marvel in this case, DC in some cases, where a character really gets out on its own and becomes part of the permanent fabric of the universe. Like in the case of DC, Harley Quinn's a good example of this. Comes out with an animated series and then just sticks, but sticks in such a way that it's like, you can't imagine DC without her in it now. same thing with Ms. Marvel, which is more of a natural,

like here's a new character we're introducing. But I'd love when they take on that level and then stick with us. I think that stuff's great. Her powers are awesome. She's really cool in that video game. She's the best thing about that video game. She is the best thing about the Marvel Avengers,

yeah, video game. I agree. Yeah, well, that's good. The part that got me was the stuff in the beginning and remembering all of us in those theaters in Vegas watching those two Avengers finale and just lose. losing your mind when Captain America

thinks he's all alone, then everybody shows up and how the audience just freaking loses it. It's so great, dude. Yeah, I have a question. I've only watched it once, but, you know, they've got Stanley doing the talk. Yeah. Is that Stanley?

I mean, I assume so. I hope so. Jeez. God, it would be horrible if it wasn't, like if it was some sort of digitized, deep fake kind of thing. Could be. Yeah, that was because there's something about the voice

that doesn't sound like the last time we had Stan Lee at a comic book convention the last time he was up on stage doing stuff and so certainly they could have done something where it's just like hey can you read this stuff but there was just something in the voice that it really made me go I don't think that's Stan Lee

oh really I think it was just recorded some sort of like Comic-Con or something like that which is why there's a little bit of echoedness maybe it could have been a combination of things could be some interviews mixed in some other stuff It may not have been the same sitting. But if you're saying there's a deep leafache going on, hmm.

Well, you know, Adobe introduced this. Oh, man, it's going to be almost 10 years ago. And now there are these softwares online where you feed it like 30 seconds of your voice. And it will, then you just type whatever you wanted to say. And it will sound like Scott Johnson's voice. I need to do. I actually love that. I want to go mess with that.

And I never do. I don't know why I don't think about doing it. There's also a site where you can. Because they want you to sign up. And it's kind of expensive just to put. play around with it. There's a cool site where you can draw your own, you can create a font within minutes that's

based on your own handwriting. Oh, nice. God, I remember I mean to do that. Oh, what was the game? Phontographer? It was like an old Aldous or it was some product application back in the 90s that let you create your own fonts.

But you basically had to like go in and stitch things together and get the overlap and set all the glyphs and stuff and it took we had to do it for for work because that was the only way to get a post script version of a logo

onto the thing we were doing but it was such a pain of the ass just for that. I can't imagine but now it's like easy this little it's so easy it just scans it in and goes for it and then it looks like your actual handwriting book I remember I have a vague memory of that too and I swear like maybe in our

typography class they said there was something where we had to we didn't have to learn that software. We had to know it existed and we had to do all kinds of postscript shit. Those were the days, man. You guys were talking about Procreate a few minutes ago. I use it whenever I'm doing some videos and I'll just use my own handwriting and I'll do it in Procreate and it's got that animate feature. And so I just export that out and then I can overlay it on video as and it looks

like it's being a hand drawn. Yeah, it's a great way to create like cool little animated interstitial stuff. Actually, the animation tools in that are much more powerful than people think. You can export stuff at 4K. My daughter just finished her project. I think she's still in the chat. Just finished her project for school, which was a big video game created by a whole team of like 20 students

or something. And she created the character and all of the animation for this character. It's like this little blob. And she did all that stuff in there and it came out beautiful, exported great, got it integrated into the game and it feels like it was born there. It's really cool.

That app is insane. That app is insane. The versatility is just insane. If you don't know what I'm talking about, then I don't know what to do for you. All right. Anyway, hey, a couple of quick things before we get to the meat of the things here. I'm halfway through Justice League. I already mentioned this to Brian.

Oh, the Snyder show? Yeah, I'm having a fun time. It's fine. There's nothing wrong with this. It's not, you know, this isn't, this is an end game level. This isn't Marvel at its best. This is DC at its most mediocre and it's okay. It's fine.

It's fine. It's just, you know. Yeah, it really, it really, needs an it really needs an editor yeah it's long it's long for no reason um yeah there's a lot they could have tightened up a lot of you know women singing on the beach for no reason and like i don't know like there's just moments in it where you're just like well that that that's four minutes i count that i could have cut out of this but but i could easily i could easily take 30 45 minutes out of this thing yeah but it's but the concept of like you know am i having fun is this big dumb

loud okay yeah it's fine it's fine yeah i wonder yeah i no, there's nothing wrong with. There's totally nothing wrong with it. And the Wonder Woman bits are better than her last movie, is what I'm saying. Yeah. That's the main thing. I think where people might get a little mistaken is that does this mean that DC is now moving ahead with more Snyderverse stuff? Probably not. I hope not. I hope this is the scene on it. I mean, they've said that they're not. They basically said, we're not doing this. Yeah. If this is the cap on that, great. Way to, well done. You've ended it. You've done this little capper at the end. You kind of cleared stuff up. It's, it is sort of weird to watch a company champion this concept that they had to fix a

frickin movie because the same studio effed it up so bad that now, now we're like, and now this is Zach Snyder's original vision. You know, the thing we should have made the first time. Like, it's just a weird message. I don't understand it. It's very odd. But anyway, we'll see what they do in the future. I'm looking forward to, after watching Tenet, I was reminded again that I actually am, I am looking

forward to. Yeah, there are movies that could use some more work, and you've just mentioned two of them. But I want to see what's his name is Batman. I'm excited about that Batman movie. Like legit. Oh, yeah, Sparkly Vampire is Batman. Yeah. Also, okay, here's a problem I have with the Snyder Cut. Sorry, just thought

of this. Why is J.K. Simmons? I love J.K. Simmons, but he's not Commissioner Gordon. He's the head of the paper over in Jay Jonah Jameson. Yes. He can't be the two. He cannot be those two guys.

He is now, let's see, what has he been in? He's been in a D.C. property. He's Omnian. Right. Invincible. Yeah. So he's got D.C. image comics and Marvel comics. I'm sure he's got a few more comics properties under his belt now.

In this case, we're talking DC. We're talking the two cranky men in the D.C. universe. Uh, commissioner Gordon over here, hanging out in freaking Batman land. And then off in Jimmy Olson town, the head of the paper over there, that's the other. other, you can't be that, you can't be that same actor, and then also cross over to Spider-Man and be that guy. Like, it's just so much of, that's, I don't get it. I don't know why it's a problem.

It's not really a problem. All right. I'm making most of this up. Yeah, Perry White. He still has nothing on Chris Evans, who's been like eight comic book characters over. Hasn't he just been the two? I thought he was, uh, um, the, um, the, Michael, Sarah. So human torch and Captain America, the obvious ones.

The Losers was based on a comic property The Michael Sarah I'll be a kick ass Or not kick ass No no no Good Lord, why am I Something versus the universe Yeah exactly

Billy Archer eats a tree That's the name of the movie I can't think of it Whatever it is And Scott Pilgrim versus the world Scott Pilgrim Thank you, geez It's your damn name

You should be able to remember Scott Pilgrim And if you've ever seen One of my favorite movies of all time push you know he's also been one of the in one of the greatest x-men movies of all time the sapphire uh yes exactly right here's the problem that none of those my point is is none of those are in the exact same universe except for torch and captain america whereas whereas this is him in the dc universe as two different people in the same universe i guess wait who's the other person in the same you perry white no perry white is uh um laurence fishbert oh you're

right yeah well wait was he ever oh i am mixing it up with his uh mixing it up a spider man's boss that's what i'm doing james james jonas or jona jason that's what i'm doing never mind that entire rant total waste of space how many days in may by the way how many days do we have this month got i don't know 30 probably who knows what we have i do know that uh the fourth is coming up and that'll be fun because we can's talk star oh yes yes speaking of fourth did you see that little little bit of a glimpse there at the end of that for just hinting Scott's on I missed it apparently yeah 23 2024 somewhere in there we will get the fantastic four fantastic four movie yeah I don't know how I missed it because I cut all the

other things and I think like I said I was wiping a tear away from it was just as they were getting ready to wipe it just barely fades in and then they cut out yeah how I missed it yeah it reminds me of um the way that Bethesda announced Elder Scroll 6 it's like They just keep dangling that four at the end of things. But it's not really anything yet. You know what I mean? It's like, oh, this is on the horizon. But we don't know jack's shit about what a fantastic four is going to look like in the MCU.

No, we don't know what it's going to look like. But we do know that they have, they've got some people already attached to it. John Watts is the director of the film. He did Spider-Man Homecoming. Oh, okay. Oh, cool. Great. They'll have a stretchy guy.

They'll have an invisible lady. They'll have a rock man. and a fiery torchman. Do you drop something there, Brian? Modoc just committed suicide. Oh, yeah, Modoc doesn't that kick off here in a couple of days there? A couple weeks, yeah, 22nd, 21st, 22nd. I don't know if I was on screen for that,

but Modoc just took a header down and wiped out Moyer McTagger. Lassarge, Elder Scrolls 5 is Skyrim. Try and keep up. I'm just kidding. All right, hey, I also read a, couple issues of Sweet Tooth, and I just wanted to get that out of the way. Oh, that is a weird comic. I had never heard of it until this trailer for the show that's coming now to Netflix, is it?

I think. Yeah. And it looked interesting, really caught my eye. And I thought, well, what is this? So I did a little reading and found out, I already followed the dude who made it. He does other comic stuff as well, mostly a writer. But he wrote and drew the entirety of Sweet Tooth back for, what, Vertigo, I guess, at the time? Well, yeah, a vertigo at the time.

now it would probably be a black label because they did a sequel just recently. I think there was like a four or six issue miniseries. They put that under the black label name, probably. That makes sense. But I'm really quite enjoying it so far. It's very odd. Oh, well, Brian, let's figure out why Scott might enjoy this. Could it be the fact that many people have dubbed it the Mad Max meets Bambi?

I mean, in some ways. Oops, that's not Mad Max at all. Hold on there. Yeah, no, Mad Max, there's a, well, it's definitely, you know, it's post-apocalyptic and it's dark and it's got some great bloody moments in it and stuff. The Bambi part is weird. I'm still not quite used to why all these kids have horns and are half animals and stuff. I guess that'll all come. Yeah, it'll come out by the end.

But are you excited for that show when it hits? To be honest, I just thought it was kind of a high concept comic book that I didn't really enjoy. I know a lot of people really enjoyed it and have really. gotten a lot out of it but uh and i and i joe i like the idea of a hybrid child but you know the part where a little bit of a spoiler here the post apocalyptic world that everything is set in kind of is like i'm kind of done with post apocalypse uh now that we've lived through uh both 2016 through 2021 yeah i mean yes but when they go full mad max i'm cool with it if it's like right after the fall it's harder

because then you're still in the thick of what life would be like if, you know, stuff got weird here. But when they go as far as like war boys and, you know, all that stuff, I feel like it's far enough removed that it's almost its own world and doesn't feel like there used to be normal civilized people in it, if that makes sense. I don't know. But anyway, I'm liking it. I like it. I like it a lot. I've been reading it. Yeah, I think it'll be fine. And I think a lot of people may really enjoy it.

Jeff Lemire is a fantastic talent. And this is one of those things that they're just like, let's let him run. wild with this and they did and it was a bigger success than anyone thought it ran 46 issues in its original series so it's it is a complete series so if people want to read that before the june 4th release on netflix great time to go pick that up yeah comicsology has it the entirety on their ultimate thing the five bucks a month thing and it's all there so i can get the entire volume and and read them there if you want to that's where i'm reading it um and then okay so let's talk about this news about green lantern's got it's guy gardner a one of the lanterns

that is maybe one maybe my favorite at least he's a bit of a hoot in the comics and i loved his his stuff during the um just or uh not injustice yeah injustice the injustice run guy gardner plays some really interesting roles in that anyway uh before we do that though in justice league there is a lantern shown in a war that's like 5,000 years ago or something am i supposed to know who that lantern is no okay just that was just like fan service it's just a lantern It's just a lantern because once a lantern dies, the ring will fly off and find somebody nearby that has no fear or shows no fear and that person will become or has the option to become the new green lantern. Well, it's dark side almost got it. Came floating up by his head and he almost put his hand on it and somebody wiped it away or something or did something, whacked it out of the air or something.

I don't remember. Anyway, let's get to this, though. Let's talk about Guy Gardner. Not everybody knows who that is, but I like him. Yeah, Guy Gardner is, let's see. So when we look at all the, when we look at all the green lanterns, of course, we had Alan Scott, which was the Golden Age Green Lantern. Then we get Hal Jordan, the Silver Age Green Lantern. Then we have John Stewart, which I think more people know John Stewart as a Green Lantern than maybe even Hal Jordan and Alan Scott.

Sure. But then in, oh, like 68 or so, I want to say Guy Gardner appears. And he is this very over-the-top misogynist almost to the point. type character. And most people will recognize him instantly because he has a very bowl redhead haircut. Yeah. And he's just he's very over the top.

Right? Like his uniform isn't the same at all. It's like funky, like a jacket. Yeah, it's like a jacket with pop collars and everything with the kind of the sleeves removed kind of thing, vest. Many people may remember Guy Gardner from his encounter with Batman where he's kind of

this, again, he's kind of tries to be macho but sometimes he's not. And Batman just punches him out in one punch. And everyone's like, got him with one punch. He did him with one punch. And so, yeah, that's where people might know Guy Gardner. He's kind of over the top. And depending on who you talk to, some people really don't like him as a green lantern.

Some people hate him as a character. But some people love him as just this, you know, this dorky guy who is over the top, you know, in all of his actions. Sharon's having fun with the idea that John Stewart is also the number of famous comedian. and then TV show host. Yeah, John Stewart's the one I really glommed on to the most, I think, for a while there. But in the comics itself, I like it all. Like, the lantern stuff is kind of cheeseball on the outside if you're just barely looking at it. And you don't really dig in.

But, man, there's some cool stuff. Like, that's, I don't know, that's D.C.'s cosmic universe at its finest. And it's fun. I love that. They just kicked off a new Green Lanterns series, I want to say last month or maybe the month before. It really has a lot of potential And I think that if people are looking For some new Green Lantern stuff to jump on board with

That new series that DC just launched is really good Should we film sack that movie? We should probably sack that thing The Green Lantern one yeah Ryan Reynolds one yeah Didn't he just watch that for charity Baseball game this weekend Yeah

And I don't know who this guy has Red Thunder He's a I don't know he's a pitcher Or somebody that plays for the Who's at the Mets? Oh Signed a hat to him that says to the Green Lantern from the Red Thunder. Oh, wow.

That's good. I like that a lot. All right. Well, there's that. So that's coming. And that's for that series. Yeah, so that's coming to HBO max. That's going to be a series on HBO, not a movie.

Right. And they've cast Finn Whitrock as Guy Gardner. You know, the old Finn, I don't know who that is. Do we should we know who that is? Yeah, he's like a regular on the whole American Horror Story group that gets, you know, gets recast in every American horror story. Oh, there you go. Oh, yes, TVZ gone.

I don't know baseball teams. I know who this is. Yeah. Oh, he's not who I would have pictured. I think he'll probably do fine, but it's not who I would. It's not how I picture Guy Gardner, but what do I know? All right. We'll see how that goes.

Also, we talked about Ms. Marvel being spotted on set. We talked about that. That's pretty cool. And the world of darkness heading to the big screen. Tell me about that. Yeah, so I think people may know, what is it, Vampire the Masquerade is part of, of the world of darkness universe. And so they're now taking that and throwing it up onto

everywhere, big screens, small screens, everything. They're finally looking at a way to bring this to a wider audience beyond the LARPing and RPG environments that it has been a part of for 30 years. Sure. Since 1991. A very, very highly thought of video game series as well. Vampire the Man's Great. People love that.

stuff. Yeah. Yeah. So that's something that's coming. And if you are a fan of Vampire the Masquerade, look for more of this. This is being brought to us by Eric and Heiser. I don't know how to say her name. But she just did the or he just did the Shadow and Bone series that's on Netflix, which is worth

checking out. Oh, my wife cannot shut up about Shadow and Bone. I haven't watched yet, but she, I guess, bingeed it while I wasn't around. And can't say enough about Shadow and Bone. She loved it. Yeah, it was it's enjoyable. It's based on the book series. it does kind of fall into the chosen one trope

and brings with it all of the chosen one trope issues and problems so a lot of it there's a lot of foreshadowing just by knowing what's going on with that trope but it was enjoyable I blew through it in a couple of days yeah yeah I heard it was good and then there was what's the other one her and I started the HBO one there's only three episodes

oh the Nevers the Victorian X-Men dude the Nevers is cool man is it that's one we've kind of been waiting for most of the episodes to drop before we start watching it, but it looks, it looks great. Yeah, it is,

it is very much X-Men set in Victorian era with some steampunk elements thrown in. The only thing that might trigger some people not wanting to watch it is it is a Joss Whedon joint. Oh, from top to bottom. I had no idea. So just, just letting people be aware of that. There's a fair amount of nudity in it.

Oh, well, it's HBO, so. Yeah. They like the news there? I don't remember seeing any nudity. Oh, there was definitely. I'm just blinking at those moments.

Definitely some nudes. Scott will send you his spreadsheet. Yeah. Okay. I keep track. It's timesdance. Yeah, I call it, it's surskin.com. The mister was already taken.

I don't know what that's about. Right. Yes. Well, all right, then. This is a good bunch of stuff. And I'm always excited to talk about these things with Stephen because he is one of our people. Stephen, this has been great. Anything else going on around major spoilers that folks should check into this week?

Oh, I think tomorrow is one of your favorite days of all time. Scott, may the fourth be with you. And that means Star Wars the Bad Batch drops on Disney Plus. Oh, oh, the... Oh, cool. They're not bingey, though, like first episode or whatever. No, I think that they are releasing weekly.

Oh, that's too bad. I feel like... How are we feeling right now? Now, we've had enough time where forever Netflix and Prime, we're like, hey, it's all at once. Here it is. And then a few services of come on, Disney Plus, HBO, others and said,

what if we still did it one week by week? here we are at Hulu, Bda, Bada, Bid, whatever. Do we now have a consensus? Do we wish it was all at once? I do. I wish it was all at once because some shows are better all at once as opposed to having a week between them. Yeah, but I also kind of like the whole,

oh, wonder what they're going to do because of this thing. You know, so there's that aspect, which I know is nice. I don't know. I think it needs to be done on a property by property basis. Okay. I think some things like we saw with WandaVision really play out better as a week-to-week. Some things like Falcon and the Winter Soldier

probably could have done release it all at once. Right. But Disney sounds like they're locked in on the week-to-week. They're not going to do it. Yeah, because they want to, because they're afraid that,

and this is, I think, the big reason why so many companies want to do the week-to-week is, if we release it all at once, Brian's going to come in and subscribe to Hulu just so he can watch Modoc for that one day that he can watch it all,

and then he's going to unsubscribe and won't come back. Whereas if I can keep it going week-to-week, that means I'm going to cover at least two to three months of any property so that you stick around yeah listen we we have it for handmaid's tail anyway so you know give us all the modoc at once so my modoc doesn't need to jump off the ledge again and uh and we'll keep watching the handmaids week to week yeah all right

brian did you jump in on the full x-men marvel united uh has it come out the the full hasn't come out yet has it well no but the kickstar is almost over in a few days so if you're going to get in I've got, oh, believe me, I was in from point A, and I've been increasing my pledge every time they had a new expansion. Yeah, asking Brian if he's into it is like asking if a Batman movie is going to talk about his parents being shot in an alleyway.

Of course they are. Of course they are. Not to say that I've been, you know, great about painting the other the minis from the first campaign, but... You're doing better than me? Fair enough. Codes from home says, I wish they just never release them. Well, that's not,

that's a bad attitude, coach, you know, we like that some content. This stuff's great. It's fun. Hey, you know,

and that's one of the great things, right? 20 years ago, no, no, not 20 years ago. 40 years ago, if there was a CBS,

you know, Hulk TV special, all the nerds were around the TV watching. Right. Because that was the only thing we got. It's all we had. And the,

what is it? The trial and the death of the Incredible Hulk is really crappy entertainment. Yes. Today we have so much Thor in there Matt Murdoch is his lawyer But today we have so much

That if you don't want to watch Star Wars If you don't want to watch anything that Marvel puts out on the TV side Or you don't want to watch a Doctor Who You don't have to and it's totally fine Because they're putting out so much stuff That you can pick and choose what you want to watch And what you don't want to watch But the even better part is

There's so much out there That there's something for everybody I just think it's an odd take to be sitting there going I don't want any of this I think he's just I don't know, Genie's agreeing with him She's like

They can release all they want I'm not watching them That's cool All right For us No that's fine Make sure you don't Make sure you don't watch

That season finale Of Invincible Because holy poop Yeah No it's It's there you go Uh Well all right

There you go Hey Stephen What a pleasure It's been As my dad would say Thank you so much And please Stay hydrant

Oh yeah hydrated. I knew there was something we had to remember. All right, thanks. All right. Brian, are you caught up on Invincible, by the way? No, I'm still one episode in and nothing yet. I need to get there. Gotcha, okay.

Did they finale it or what? They finallied the season, yeah, and they got picked up, I think, for two more seasons, but... Yeah, I need to go in there and do it. Yeah, the final, the finale, uh, more graphic, I think, than the comics were, I think. Yeah. That's good, because that's what I want. I want some blood. There will be blood.

I want the rink, you'll get it. Yeah. All right. Hey, quick Monday morning mashup here on the show. This is from Jamie, who puts these together. And I'm going to go ahead and play this. So check it out. It's right here.

It is because of VR glasses. Give him his VR glasses. Mild to Hitler's butthole. Wipe side to side. Oh, those two really shouldn't be together. Had to stay in a hotel off the road. It took a... Pee in a Starbucks cup.

Oh, I had to pee in a Starbucks cup. While a trucker watched me over here, who's way up here, looking at me. Real good there. By the way, there's a stop. If you want to go up and meet me, it's the next exit. Bring the pee. Yeah. You bring that pee with you.

You bring that pee with you, boy. You throw out that pee, I'm not interested anymore. Keep it warm by the air heater. Yeah, that's how I like my pee. I like it over. we took that way down the road way down the road I've forgotten how dark that went yeah holy shit all right well that was fun thank you Jamie as always you can follow him on Twitter at TMS mashups and he's a good guy all right Brian there's one final thing here about

Japanese things yeah show me what you're picking out of the box oh all right right look guys I'm glad Brian remembered I liked it Let's do Whatever this is With a fish on it Okay Fish thing Do you see that?

I see it Okay We're gonna Food taste Japanese snacks today Yeah Let's see here I'm assuming this is going to reek When we open this

Yeah I'm a little worried about this one Because it's literally a big It's a fish It looks like Fish kicks Yeah, fish kicks. Fish kicks. Not even mom likes it for what it's got or how it goes.

Right, exactly. I'm curious. I'm going to read it before we even, read it before we eat it. Read it and weep it. Let's see. Is there a, here we go. This fish is frozen. That's our theme for today.

More like freeze-dried fish. All right, I'm opening mine while you do the translation. Yeah, it's not figuring out. I wonder if that's not, uh, Is that not Japanese? Oh. That's not even, I don't know what to call that. Oh, God.

Oh, you're worrying me. It's like a foot. All right. I'm totally not smelling it. I'm opening it. I'm going to eat it. I'm not going to smell it. Well, it's definitely fishy, but footy.

Footy, footy fishy. I don't know. All right, so I think we have to, because there's different balls in here. Yeah, different balls you can get? We got a try. Got at least one green one, one white one, and one orange one. One orange one.

Is that all there is? Yeah. Well, there might be, you can't tell if there's a brown one. I can't tell if that's. Oh, there's a darker, you're right. There's a darker brown and then the light. Yeah. Okay, do that.

Yeah, there's four. And there's mostly the white ones, if I'm honest. It's mostly white ones. Those are the Lucky Charms Lepercon turds mixed in with these. It's like the Utah pop. Trying to decide. Should I eat those separately and see the different place? or consume them like we're downing an entire tarotchi bowl.

I think we should try them separately, don't you think? I don't know. I agree. All right, I'm trying to green one now. Green first. I was going to make the joke that it's mostly white ones as the way we talk about our census here in Utah. Oh, all right. Okay, it tastes like a corn pop.

Yeah, I don't know what to call that. All right, white one. Let the white one. White one, okay. Let the white one in. Mmm Kind of sweet Yeah

It has like a sugary thing Mm-hmm Now light brown Okay Salmon colored That's the most fishy Mm-hmm Dude weird

And now dark brown With black specks Yeah This is a You know this is not bad at all I'm actually gonna eat Yeah They're not bad

Like most Japanese snacks, they smell terrible. But they taste pretty good. Yeah, I was really expecting a stronger flavor, but they're very very subtle flavor.

All right. Cool. Okay. Yum. Let's see. Hold on. I've lost my soundboard. Oh, there we go. Oh, there we go. Okay, we're good. All right. Hey, we did it. Well done. Oh, who's that we got to think? We always forget.

Do you have a song? I have a song. This one's going out to Keaton, who says, Hey there, Segal and Buya Bayes. I'm turning 28 on Saturday, May 1st, which is crazy to me, considering I started listening to Frog Pants with the instance more than a decade ago.

Through good times and bad, you guys have always given me great content to laugh with, and I'm forever grateful for that. I know you guys don't have TMS on Saturday, but any day around there will do. I love all of your work. I loved going to TMS Vegas and participating in overpants and appreciate everything you cool cats do.

Keep up the amazing work and here's to a great summer. P.S. Scott, play any random clip from Filmsack and you guys try to guess which movie it's from. Okay. You ready, Brian? I'm ready, Scott. Okay.

Let's do this one. I think this is one. Never forget the duty of an American. No, that's from a video game. That's the, I was going to say, is that? I got to start marking these different because they're kind of mixed in. I'm about this one. Hey, in the top.

No, also a video game. It's a video game. How about this one? No, it's done away. Oh, here it is. They call me Kong. Eighth wonder of the world. And I'm going to kick your ass.

Hey, man. You've got a great look. I don't remember. I don't remember that either. Kong? A year would have been 2018, February 6th or February of 2015. The year we would have done that episode, do you mean? Right.

They call me Kong. They call me Kong. Chatroom doesn't even know. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know either. I have no freaking idea. And this is the worst part. There's no way to find out.

I don't have a way to find out except we can kind of extrapolate and go, you know, go back and look at the dates and see if we can figure out what movie it is. But I have no idea who called himself Kong. Let me play one more time. They call me Kong. Eighth Wonder of the World. And I'm going to kick your ass. Hey, man.

You've got a great look. I have no idea. I don't know either. I don't know. All right. Eighth Wonder of the world. It's definitely not Dr. Strange love, Captain Kipper. I don't know what it is.

But we tried. But here's your song anyway. Anyway, yes, exactly. Anyway, the song you wanted to hear, you want to hear any cover of an old country song like Willie Nelson, Conway Twitty, Wayland Jennings, or Patsy Cline. I'm going to go with that one. Patsy Cline actually is funny because this is a song that gets attributed to Patsy Cline, but Willie Nelson also did a great version of it. Although this version is kind of almost unrecognizable. This is from the Denmark and Winter album Reimagined, Volume 1 from 2015.

It's a cover of Patsy Klein's biggest hit, Crazy. Oh, I like Crazy. I like Crazy's great. Yeah, it is great. Sweet. Well, we'll do that and we'll see you guys tomorrow for another episode. Come on back then, you hear? Crazy I'm crazy I'm crazy for feeling so lonely
