Starting point is 00:01:44 St. Nick. I would love it if, because we never go live at two o'clock p.m. On a weekday. That no one shows up. Oh, but Nicholas Thomas. We've got a pair. Oh, we got three people here. Three people for impromptu live stream. Mattie D. Funny enough, we just had a conversation about that money thing a little bit ago.
Starting point is 00:02:04 Maddie. Are you and Maddie D? No, you and I. Oh, yeah. Okay, people are tuning. Okay, look at us. We were semi-thinking that there might be a little bit of a, yeah, a little bit of a weekday thing. Look at all these people. Look at all these lovely. There's so many people showing up here at a 2 o'clock p.m. Friday Pacific standard time. I'm glad you're here.
Starting point is 00:02:25 Haley Atwell also back. Don't know about that. We didn't know there would be a live from today either until like less than 24 hours ago. But here we are. Hey, want to hang out? And we were like, what if we point cameras at it? I mean, look, guys, guys, listen, we got some movie news to get through today. And I put out a community post.
Starting point is 00:02:39 Let me see if I can gather the graphic here for you guys. Coy, yes. I learned how to put graphics on screen. I saw that you made a little thumbnail, but like a banner nail. I mean, I didn't make that. I just stole it from someone who worked way harder than me. I see. I made a very, I made them my most great thumbnail today.
Starting point is 00:02:59 I'm really proud of it. Oh, did you now? I made a thumbnail that I was like, this looks like Greg would have made it two years ago. And I was like, that's steps. Okay, so here we go. Let me just pull this up. We're going to hop right into our live stream.
Starting point is 00:03:09 Thank you. It's been a while since we've done a live stream, first of all. It's true. We anticipate that next week that there's going to be, you know, we heard a lot of people on the Twitters are talking about a special little DC trailer coming out next week. But who knows? Who knows?
Starting point is 00:03:23 So I'll probably our last live stream of the year. That exactly, because then we also are trying to cover what if before holidays comes up. I am leaving for my makeup honeymoon. The Day Squid Game Season 2 comes out. Well deserved overdue. The man needs vacation. And we also don't have screeners for it. So we'll see how that goes. If we get them, we'll watch it. If we don't, you boys having Christmas. Having Christmas. And so yeah. It's like next week and I'm like, do I cover a Marvel show or not? Like it's that. We're hoping we can get the what-of-screener so we can cover that for you guys in a timely manner. Am I allowed to say?
Starting point is 00:03:57 that it's insane that people would assume we just work over, like content creators working on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve, Skeleton Crew. I mean, I've been doing that for 10 years and this is the first year, I'm like, I will not do it this year. I'm putting my foot down saying it's baloney. I'm a little tired. So, yeah, but I, we wanted to make sure we at least hop in the live stream and we'll tell you guys first and foremost here that at the end of January 20, before we go right into the news at the end of January 2025, Koy and I are going to be launching a special little podcast starring us. I'm so excited. We could work through some titles with you guys right now. Coy, I wanted to do V for Virgo.
Starting point is 00:04:33 I'm like, what's this astrology-ass podcast? Because I thought a V for Vendetta. Yeah, but like, we're not talking about astrology. Who cares? Okay, but we're both Virgos. And then what did you have? A good movie news show? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:45 Because we wanted to do a movie news show, but we don't love how most of them are ran. So Greg pitched it to me is like, what if we do a good movie news show? Right, right. What if that's the title? But it has to have the show. question mark like i love the idea of a good movie day show like every week we're like did we do good or not well that my very very last one that i had in mind was uh meta movie muse m m m that was a lot like my my first podcast my major my first major my first major show was called
Starting point is 00:05:16 marvel movie news oh amazing so meta movie muse feels like marvel movie news well i'm gonna go into it guys please sure to leave a like here thank you to all who contribute or will contribute superchaps and stream like podcast. Muscle Bros. Podcast. That sounds like a good time. We should get Brandon Davis with us. Saw him today at the gym. Dude is jacked.
Starting point is 00:05:33 I was like, don't point it out. He's jacked. Thank you for your first super chat of the day. We don't end a live stream without going through any of every one of these super chats, even though we're going to try to end, you know, later than the 430 Pacific Standard Time. So here it was on the agenda. These are the four main stories. And of course, whatever else you guys want to talk about today.
Starting point is 00:05:52 And so what we have on the agenda is Chris Evans and Avengers Doomsday. the Batman Clayface movie Craven ends the Sony Spider-Verse and no more solo Deadpool films according to Ryan the Reynolds himself now put out a post of what we should kick off the news with and of course 54% out of 3.1K votes voted for Chris Evans in Avengers Dooms Days 1600 people so we got to honor that as good math coy that's we like you oh mathematical movie news so we break down math yeah you know the box office was actually roughly and with inflation it's just like a boring stock show.
Starting point is 00:06:28 I know there's some trailers that came out. Right now, there's so much behind the scenes stuff going on. I need every hour I can get at this moment. Greg's been teasing this like it's a trailer. Greg, every week will be like, guys, when you know what's coming? I'm like,
Starting point is 00:06:44 I feel like I'm in the Real Rejects viewership going like, but what? But the podcast is, I think, our first announcement. A first announcement for sure. Of the new era. Well, the big announcement of this week is Chris Evans and Avengers Doomsday. Now, the big rumor going around, Coy, son. Yes. What do you guys think in the chat? Are you excited about Chris Evans returning for Avengers Doomsday? I am actually more immediately, if you were to tell me, without any special Comic-Con being on a live stream announcement, if you, if someone were just to come up to me and say, Robert Danny Jr. and Chris Evans are both returning, I would be less peeved about Chris Evans returning. Okay. Then I would be about Robert Downing. He did die. I'm more, I'm looking forward more is I remember. I remember. I remember. I remember.
Starting point is 00:07:26 remember putting myself back in Avengers Endgame when I first saw it when I heard this news and I went, oh yeah, I remember being in the theaters and going, oh, I guess Chris Evans is leaving. Like I didn't, I wasn't prepared for that. It just sort of happened spontaneously when he left as I thought, oh, he's going to put the stones back,
Starting point is 00:07:45 but I had no anticipation this was going to be Chris Evans' last movie. Then all sounds like, oh, he's, I guess that is it. He's gone now. He's done. Oh, that's too bad. Anyway, so yeah, I'm less people. by it. Main rumor going around is that he's going to be Nomad. He'll be a variant
Starting point is 00:08:00 of Captain America. I do have some I don't know, like a little bummer feelings, but what is your overall thought? I know you've talked about it, but tell the reject audience, what do you think? I think it's a horrible idea. Yes. That's what you get here.
Starting point is 00:08:17 I think it undermines Mr. I like everything over here. Doesn't like this idea. I think it undermines N-Games impact. I think the beautiful arcs of selfless to selfish mirroring cap and iron man get negated by them coming back and i understand they're not the same tony stark or or steve rogers but it is the faces of the people it's not a comic book these are actors we identify with in roles i also think it undermines the impact of thor's arc which was down the center of the two like iron man going from selfish to selfless cap going from selfless
Starting point is 00:08:48 to selfish but people don't talk about thor going from shore of self to having no sense of self i think that's a beautiful center with the holy trinity with those three in that story but my issue is if you bring them both back and especially if you do the like what if iron man and because it is going to be visually identifiable as iron man what if downy was an iron man that was bad guy and what if captain america wasn't spangled because he's nomad that feels so much like the goatee and star trek it feels like what if they're bad now and like i just don't love that idea um i i feel like I mean, HydroCap is also like, what if they're bad now? And I want the integrity of the impact of a death to not feel like the comic books.
Starting point is 00:09:34 In comic books, when a character comes back from the dead. Is it a death? It's not a death, though. Yeah, but they died, and now the actors are playing a new version of them when they were dead. Yeah. Like, our human brains aren't like, that's a different Iron Man. Sure, sure. It's downy.
Starting point is 00:09:48 So, like, even when we saw Johnny, you know, instead of Steve, we're still seeing Chris Evans. that's fair so like I it's not a comic I get what you're saying I'm being pedantic about it but I just want I like I think endgame is so beautiful and so perfect and so much impact it does not feel like a bold swing it feels like backtracking it feels like pandering I think when you hold those drinks for a second I just want to make sure it doesn't fall over I'm trying to pull this closer to me so I'm not like constantly leaving forward when I'm doing it all right thanks buddy I could just put a little pivot thank you good yes you see the thing that actually most bothers me by it is that
Starting point is 00:10:25 this is coming out before Captain America Brave New World and there's this big rumor that Captain America Brave New World will have a tease about Steve Rogers returning And we haven't had the opportunity Anthony Mackey doesn't even get it. Exactly we haven't A Anthony Mackey is not even really the
Starting point is 00:10:41 one who's being, we might talk about creature commandos Anthony Mackey's not the one being talked about when it comes to Captain America Brave New World. Everyone's talking about Red Hulk and now this will put the attention back on Chris Evans and we really haven't given Anthony Mackey a proper chance yet
Starting point is 00:10:56 and everything about this latest phase of the announcements is how I immediately felt about Rousseau. I've got a lot of shit for not being excited about Rousseau Brothers returning. I got a lot of shit about that. I'd be more excited if they made like great films in between and games.
Starting point is 00:11:12 I like what's the one with Chris Evans, Ryan Gossling? Gray man, I like to. It's not a great film. It's a 90s buddy cop, but they're against each. It's not a great. film. So I think that's why I'm like a little bit more on board for Downey because
Starting point is 00:11:28 Downey has had a pretty good career like he just won an Oscar. Yeah, he's doing okay. So I'm like, all right, I mean, he doesn't need to do this. Yeah. And that's what excites me about this. Not saying Chris Evans needs to do this, but there's something exciting about a role that seems to challenge him. Hi, Heather Gary, good to see you here. But
Starting point is 00:11:44 we'll see. I mean, overall, this news doesn't seem to be exciting people as much. That's what I mean. Now we're, now we're used to the news here. You know, Ford's like, Russo Brothers are returning. Everyone's freaking the F aired out. And then Robert Danny Jr. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:11:58 Now Chris, I'm like, all right. And that's how it's going to feel. It's about what I expect now. That's about what I expect. It should be like overwhelming. If it was going to happen, it needed to be a moment. Also, if we know it now,
Starting point is 00:12:10 it's not going to feel like a pop in the theater. Like, I'm not going to be like, oh, my God, I can't believe it. I'll be like, oh, the news from a year and a half ago sure did happen. Yeah. And on top of that, it's a very different thing. comparatively to when you have when you have the Spider-Man movies with a
Starting point is 00:12:27 because that's just one universe focus base right it's the Spider-Man world it's actually way it's so much more contained comparatively than like an Avengers Doomsday or an Avengers Secret Wars right yeah we're here he's kind of kind of be shuffled in in the middle of what
Starting point is 00:12:44 sounds like a cast of 60 characters you know and like so it kind of undermines it and it undermines cap four It doesn't just undermine Chris Evans It undermines Mackey Let's be honest though Coily has this opinion now
Starting point is 00:12:56 Because he's part of DC Studios Podcasts I can only hate stuff now that I'm not Yes exactly When I was never employed by Marvel Though even people thought I was I love the Disney Shill like thing Because I was like I'd like that money though
Starting point is 00:13:07 I never got that DC show money But I do think that we Are entering an era of Marvel Not feeling as independently minded As they did when I loved it as much I still love Marvel And that's the problem is like I'm upset because I'm upset
Starting point is 00:13:20 because I love Marvel. I'm upset because I want the MCU to do well. I feel like this is the first time this feels like a fanfic. And I don't want that. So like, I clearly spoke well of Deadpool Wolverine in more videos than I've ever made
Starting point is 00:13:33 about a property. I clearly spoke well about the Eternals when no one else did. I've loved the stuff that I loved, but I don't want to be stuck not talking about the decisions. I don't think are coming from a place of art. I feel like they're coming from a place
Starting point is 00:13:45 of business pressure. Yep. Well, that's how we feel. What are you guys in the chat think? Are you guys bummed by this news? Are you excited by this news? Leave your thoughts down below. We're not going to go through.
Starting point is 00:13:56 We only got a few super chats right now, but I want to at least preview what the first one was, Koi. Coy. Check the takes. We're going different timing here. All right, what we got? I think the first one was Nick Alexander. I know, okay, let me make sure the people on the check.
Starting point is 00:14:11 I can't see them. That's a Google screen. I know this isn't news, but who could Chris Evans play in the DCU? Greg Koi rejects. Love. You'll have a good weekend. Actually, Nick, I love this. That's a way more exciting.
Starting point is 00:14:22 Can you imagine how exciting that would be if Chris Evans suddenly joined? If you got an incredibly popular face of the Marvel universe to suddenly join DC. And not out of like a screw you thing. No, but like he's a talented actor. Yeah. Okay. That would be really wild, wouldn't it? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:41 I mean, Cois the man to answer this one. I don't know. I would say. He likes playing villains now. I was trying to think of a villain because I think him as Molecule Man is really. fun in Doomsday because at least that'd be like the fun version of the goate going evil.
Starting point is 00:14:55 There's some people in the chat who were saying Molecule Man. Yeah, I think that's more fun than like Nomad personally. But over at the DCU, I'm trying to think of the first wave because I'd want it to be soon. It'd be so funny if he was Sinestro, literally the goatee. Like he's a
Starting point is 00:15:12 mustache twirling villain of the lanterns. And he's got like this big overarching story about willpower because Chris Evans is like and do this all day. It's literally the inversion of I can do this all day is he's someone that's yellow ring of fear against willpower
Starting point is 00:15:23 so he's like the antithesis of Captain America in every way I think that's wicked fun I think he I think
Starting point is 00:15:31 Sean Gunn is really interesting as a versatile voice actor and screen actor but I would love to see like what he would do with a Maxwell Lord
Starting point is 00:15:42 type role where he's like not powered but he's like a powerful financial douche like that'd be fun you know what I mean like not a powered character like let him stay skinny um it seems like he takes on uh villain roles or whatever
Starting point is 00:15:55 role ryan reynolds is not taking on it yes those are the current so yeah i'm gonna say sydestro ryan reynolds green lantern and i'm gonna say uh someone like uh maxwell lord but not the pedro type all right well that's what our opinion on it thank you guys for uh joining us for that i want to see really quick we will continue the super chats in a bit thank you we don't end the stream without doing them let's go back to the regular live chat for ross second and then What was next on the community to us? You're going to go in order of votes. The Batman Clayface movie.
Starting point is 00:16:25 Ooh, I actually really like this news. A lot, Coy. What was the James Gunn Confirmation, the audience? What's the James Gunn confirmation, guys? What are you talking about? Reject Nation was saying that Gunn confirmed. Gun confirmed what? That Clayface was, apparently according to them,
Starting point is 00:16:39 it was confirmed by Gun as a movie, but I just haven't seen that confirmed by him. Is it confirmed that he's going to be playing, that Mike Flanagan is directing it? I know he's writing. I think writing it, I haven't seen anything about directing it. But I'm really curious what the actual, like, check the tape.
Starting point is 00:16:57 Let's ask Elon Musk. Yep, what's he have to say about? Everyone, I'm asking Elon Musk here. Go to all E. Musk has all the answers. What's the news we have on Mike Flanagan, Clayface, movie? Let's look it up. Let's get the actual data because I want to report it on the data. He's ran the script for the project.
Starting point is 00:17:19 Okay, horror thriller tragedy. Okay, there's no confirmation who's going to direct it yet, but Matt Reeves will be producing the film, so it might be in the Batman universe. But Matt Reeves is also producing the dynamic duo, which is gun and him teaming up on that Robbins project. Okay. So, like, I think Matt Reeves is just very involved with DC.
Starting point is 00:17:41 Oh, wait a minute, guys, wait a minute. This is unprofessional. Now we know what we're talking about. Now we, I mean, the idea of, was the theory we'll go, we're going to move to this story. Wait, hold on. I messed it up everyone. The idea was to go, we're going to, hold on, everyone.
Starting point is 00:17:58 Everyone. Okay. The idea was to go, we're going to move to this story. That way you're like, oh, look at that. New chapter. Bam, bam, and then we go, it's here. So as we're talking about it, then boom, shakalakalwanka.
Starting point is 00:18:14 Anyway, Koi. According to Phoenix Rose, James said it's DCU. Okay. I don't know when that happened. Aw. So I assume that would mean... Oh, that's what they've been saying to confirm.
Starting point is 00:18:27 That it's going to be part of the main DC universe. So it's not an Elseworld or in the Batman universe. Right. So therefore, I would assume if Flanagan is, you know, writing it and we have Matt Reeves producing it, which is the rumor. It's just that Matt Reeves is involved with the great DC universe, which is exciting.
Starting point is 00:18:42 Well, Coy, according to your boss, Canon doesn't matter. I think that's way more in real life. Huh? Oh, yeah. Yeah, you would say that, wouldn't you? If you and I are at a party... If you and I are at a party and we have a situation occur,
Starting point is 00:18:55 and I remember it one way and you remember it another way, whatever storyteller is telling it is the canon to the moment. Okay, I wonder if you'd say this, if Figey said it. If it was better storytelling, then everyone going like, what's next, what's next? I'm trying to start some drama. I know. How's it working?
Starting point is 00:19:12 I don't feel like it's going across this year. Yeah, I just feel like it's... They can tell that I'm like, I don't know. That's exciting. Oh, we can't acknowledge that, huh? Wait, well, let me look up something before we... No, no, no, no, there's something that's going around to the chat. I will personally not acknowledge it as to not spoil something.
Starting point is 00:19:30 Okay, but I'm excited for Flanagan Clayface. I'm excited for that DC you take would be more supernatural than what the Reeves the Batman would be. Sure. If it was going Reeves the Batman, which is funny because I think that was a rumor two years ago for the Batman 2 is going to be Clayface. I think it would be more like the actor from the Silver and Golden Age. But in the DCU, I imagine it's going to be more like the Clayface we know in modern day, which is, you know, the monster, the animated series Clayface, all those things. Like, that's the benefit of the two universes picking and choosing which character can be extravagant, which can be grounded. So, it's exciting to me.
Starting point is 00:20:04 I love this. I love this news. I sound like exactly what Red Leder Media makes fun of. I love this news. There's the quote. Okay. Exciting news out of DCF. Okay, yeah, when he was on the, um, uh, uh, uh,
Starting point is 00:20:19 what's that show called the great interviewer guy Josh Horowitz. He was saying there's a project that we have yet to announce, but it just got green lit that they're gonna they're gonna try, you're damn right, deal wise, I will do whatever it takes to cancel Koi. Yeah, that's what we've tried. Everyone's trying. Everyone's trying to cancel Koy.
Starting point is 00:20:34 We'll live in the dream. Just what I'm so tired. Cancel Koi. It's been a long week. Cancel Koi Corner. Woo! Coys count the corner didn't get numbers, but cancel Koi Corner and tell you what. It's the sweet spot.
Starting point is 00:20:46 I weirdly feel like there's Oh, it would do gangbusters. There's definitely an intrigue to it. The amount of people that hate me? Yeah, that's what cool. Oh, man. So, highest rated show at Redenation. Why I'm excited for Clayface is because solely due to Mike Flanagan.
Starting point is 00:21:00 I think Mike Flanagan, when he comes, I haven't seen everything he's done. I didn't see that latest show he did. I did watch the two haunting shows. I love the vampire one he did. Same. I like his show significantly more than I like his movies, honestly. I think his movies are, what are I like? I love Dr. Sleepman.
Starting point is 00:21:17 See, I didn't love Dr. Slee. But everyone else I know loves Dr. Sleep. So, I mean, like, I am one opinion out of, I'm very much in the minority on that. And that's, I think that's because I had just seen Haunting of Hill House. Which is exceptional. It's exceptional. And you see how much he can take his time with telling a story with that much depth. And then Dr. Sleep, I was like, this feels rushed.
Starting point is 00:21:41 Probably because. It's pretty methodical. Okay. Well, yeah, I haven't seen that yet. I haven't seen that yet. Fair enough. I haven't seen that. Maybe I'll feel different on a second view.
Starting point is 00:21:49 I think it's exceptional. Not immediately watching. I want to go to Hill House and going to that. So anyway, but Mike Flanagan, generally, he does movies that I feel like, he does stories that have the supernatural bed to it, but he does lean very much in the tragedy. And then after watching Creature Commandos, where you can see James Gunn's reverence for the universal monsters type of tragedy when it comes to the bride, when it comes to Frankenstein's monster. I feel like Mike Flanagan, who is actually doing the exercise.
Starting point is 00:22:17 this movie. I really think he would know how to provide that as well for Clayface because I imagine they'd probably go with the tragedy tale of the guy who was an actor turned Clayface, right? So I would love to see what he's going to do because you I imagine it'll probably be a really
Starting point is 00:22:34 serious film. And I know he could do something horrifying. But more importantly, he knows to lean drama and character first and foremost and let that dictate the horror because if you look at a lot of Mike Flanagan's work, so much of it is not scary scary scary scary scary it's mainly a bunch of drama yeah but when the horror
Starting point is 00:22:53 happens you are so invested you remember it yeah there's because the drama drama drama like that's the key i want to care about him and that's an exciting prospect yeah i think midnight ma'am uh miraculous in the chat point in midnight have you seen midnight that's my favorite of his work that's my favorite of his work too yeah i'm so impressed absolutely adore that was one of the most impressive pieces of i would call that Cinema. 100%. Press of pieces of cinema. It's such a great Halloween season
Starting point is 00:23:18 because of that show. I... That's actually a pretty intense show. What is the most recent one? There was a show... I haven't seen that one. It's his last Netflix one. I haven't seen it.
Starting point is 00:23:27 There's like a one with kids. Oh, yeah. I didn't watch that either. Yeah, I didn't love the kid one as much as Midnight Mass, and that's a bummer because, like, I think he's so exceptional. I love Dr. Sleep. This, to me, is the continuation of James Gunn
Starting point is 00:23:42 picking creators that are so inspiring and fascinating and i will for the next hopefully decade have to deal with people being like oh you only like that because dc u but i legitimately think it's more exciting to make a non-shared story and make the canon whatever is good for the story um because then you don't have to worry about what's next and you can hire people that want to make their vision i don't want to see all of this milk toast same color palette same thing because it fits in one universe thing if we could have weird different stories that don't know what you're talking about i don't i've never watched these movies.
Starting point is 00:24:12 That's a comic. Guys, we have some news here. We have some news. Are you guys excited for this movie, first of all? I hope you are. I am. 28 years later trailer. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:24:24 We've entered this new era of Real Rejects where we do less trailers, and it makes the movie reactions. When we do a movie reaction, it makes it so much better because I have no clue what I'm walking into so much of the time. I've been going to the movies late, like 10 minutes in, so I don't see all the trailers because I don't have to watch them anymore. I'm getting to actually watch movies? Yeah, and I think when it comes to, especially with movie reactions,
Starting point is 00:24:47 that's what makes it so grand. It's like, I understand there's numbers to be had when it comes to the trailer reaction. There's absolutely numbers to be made. People love the feeling of anticipation. That's why trailers and marketing exist because it does really well. But in terms of just the primal experience of a film, it's like, what more do you need to tell me? The director and writer are returning for 28 days later.
Starting point is 00:25:09 That's all I need to know. there, invincible trailer being brought up in the channel. I'm like, I'm going to react to every single episode with the camera pointed at me. The less I know the better of a of a final piece you guys are going to have. And the last thing I'm probably going to cover of it, which will be the episode, you know? Yeah. So that's why. But anyway,
Starting point is 00:25:24 Haley Atwell, let me get a picture here so people know what we're talking about, Coy. You know, I never mind looking at well. People, you better a person. Yeah, she's one of the only people I completely was like old Hollywood flustered around. Like, we work with a lot of actors and people in the industry. So you get kind of used to running into people you, you know, seeing movies and TV.
Starting point is 00:25:46 Haley Atwell is so gobsmackingly gorgeous and kind that I was starstruck by her nest. Like we had a conversation about Captain Carter and it was like a five-minute conversation. But she was so impossibly old Hollywood kind. And she kept being like, oh, darling, thank you so much. And I kept being like, will you marry me? I understand every decision Steve Rogers ever made. Like I would go back through time for Haley Atwell as well. get it, Steve.
Starting point is 00:26:11 She's perfect. I love her. Well, Haley Atwell. She's back. Returning as Captain Carter. So, do you think they're going to actually bring back Old Man Cap? Clint Eastwood Captain America. Joe Biden, Cap?
Starting point is 00:26:26 Joe Biden, Cap. I think they could for a scene, but I don't think narratively it'd work for long. Okay. I just don't feel like that's the impact of seeing Chris Evans back. Like, it would not feel like, oh, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. So if you're like, oh, Chris Evans is back, and he's under lots of makeup. So, like, you know, I don't know if that's...
Starting point is 00:26:45 I would love it if it's old man cap and he, and it's kind of like the old man in Squid game where you just think, like, oh, he's not a threat. And he starts like, whooping ass. Preserved him inside, like Keith Richards. Like, I feel like it's like that. It's like the, uh, that Six Flags character. The, he did that, you know, no, do you know, that grandpa character? Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:27:04 But it's like throwing a shield, old man's team. Uh, yeah, I mean, that'd be something. I want the, I want nomad. And more importantly, I want Captain Carter. I'm more excited for Haley-A-Wil coming back to Chris Evans. Well, let me tell you why I look forward to, why I echo these sentiments, is because she, Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, I really enjoy that movie. More than a lot of people, it seems.
Starting point is 00:27:29 But damn, that Illuminati shit, I thought was so disappointing. I thought it was incredibly. It was, and to have that experience where I want, we want, we want to. watching the premiere people were freaking out i went to opening night people were freaking out and especially knowing what was going to happen in like two minutes from opening and opening night i'm like this is such a bummer and i think i was such a waste and haley atwell who has been such a prolific character in the what if series to see i don't know if she's coming back as captain carter or she's coming back as peggy carter right but if they bring back a captain carter and really
Starting point is 00:28:03 allow her a chance to be a true captain carter then hell yeah let her have that moment, you know, I think the Russo brothers would probably do right by that. I would love that. That has, that's of Doomsday casting. This is my favorite announcement. Yeah. I don't know. I'm really excited for the R.D.J., man. I really am. Oh, man. If he hadn't been Iron Man all these years, I would be.
Starting point is 00:28:23 I think he's a great actor for a role like that, but I think I associate him with Iron Man because he did so good. Fair enough, fair enough. Um, okay, so I know we got some more super chats. I want to make sure we're not forgetting those. But, uh, yeah, we got a couple more stories. Hey, Jasmine Paysmore. Good to see here, Jasmine. Are you coming tomorrow, Jasmine?
Starting point is 00:28:39 I hope you want. Greg just doxed himself. By saying, are you coming to Mark? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Andrew Carnes, thank you for the Super Chat, says at what point you realized the DCEU was unsalvageable. When the fandom was so vitrolic. For me, it was when I realized I love comic books
Starting point is 00:29:01 and there was an entire one of the biggest publishers in the world that I couldn't talk about. I have loved Spider-Man. since I was two and I learned to read. I've loved Batman since I was five. That's only a three-year difference in the span of my 36 years of existing. I've only been able to talk about DC recently to scale because any time I'd bring up anything and I didn't see the character the same way that the loud internet did, I would just be attacked
Starting point is 00:29:27 to the point where it wasn't worth my time or energy. And I realized when I couldn't talk about characters I love for like a decade that it was because you can't salvage a fandom that's just wanting a month. So I don't know if I haven't blamed the movies As much as I blame the discourse D.C.U's been a real heart-wrenching journey, hasn't it? Like, I'll probably never really
Starting point is 00:29:51 truly get over You know, I love, there's this great channel Oh my God, I'm totally blinking on the name of the channel right now, but every, almost every one of their big videos is like what this movie, what we almost got, what the movie could have been, like World War Z-2 What was supposed to be, the Superman movie.
Starting point is 00:30:09 that Shnepp talked about, right? Those kind of things. And I feel like Henry Cavill is forever is going to be one of those that goes down because he undoubtedly could have, he was very vocal. Like he obviously really got along with Zach Snyder, really supported Zach Snyder.
Starting point is 00:30:27 It was also very apparent that he wanted Superman to go down the path of a little bit more colorful. He's talked extensively about that to be a little bit more traditional in that sense, right? The moment in Black Adams is one of my favorite Superman movie. It's a great moment. moment and and we've seen Henry Cowell do other work of most people cite
Starting point is 00:30:43 that wonderful guy rich a movie man from uncle as like perfect perfect example of like definitely this guy could would have been the perfect Superman and did life walking around yeah you see him in interviews and stuff you just see that he has that charm and charisma and
Starting point is 00:30:58 I understand why James Gunn did what he did but he came in after the decision was made the Henry Cavill thing was a handshake agreement between people not running a as far as I heard. But he has to make it fresh and new. And at the end of the day, like, as much as I, like, everyone knows I like the Zach Snyder
Starting point is 00:31:18 films more than Koi does, I still. And I like them more than I think people think I do. I'm afraid to talk about him. So you like them even more, but I'm not like, oh, I'm just like, I'm scared. But the thing is, I think what, as much as people are calling it James Gunn's DC universe, we even say that, I think what James Gunn's really setting out to do is just to make a DC universe, whereas one felt very much like a Zach's, this is Zach Snyder's universe.
Starting point is 00:31:39 He's also hiring directors that are very different than him. I'd interrupt, but, like, Flanagan is not going to make a James Gunn movie. Yeah. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, and Craig Gillespie's not going to make a James Gunn movie. So when people say James Gunn's DCU, yes, I see that. But we also don't consider Kevin Feige as what John Faber did Iron Man. So, like, we need to see that he's building this incredible thing.
Starting point is 00:31:58 But we also need to see that he's giving these creators these incredible opportunities to make insanity for us. Yeah, yeah. So I think the DC universe, over time, I have really come to a really. accept, like, yeah, reboot is really the way to go. But, you know, you should also keep Suicide Squad, The Teasmaker, Canon. I can't wait to see how they do it. Forward. I hear you're sad, but I'm going to accept that I can't wait.
Starting point is 00:32:20 I also, yeah, for me, for me, I'm excited for anything new and exciting. Josh Long says he's been a sub since I was 13. I'm now almost 24. Love you all, my thank you, Josh Long. 11? That's like half your life. God, you know, I saw a tweet pop up. our feed from someone who like
Starting point is 00:32:41 did that thing where they made notes and it was about real rejects. I was like, man, I remember 10 years ago like paying to talk to Greg and John, I'm like, I don't really know what you're talking about. Paying to talk to maybe it was like a Google chat thing, which we really commit to, it would be like $50.
Starting point is 00:32:57 We'll talk for like an hour to half. It's like a long time. So, and it's between John and I, right? And he's like, but now looking at what they are now, like they're obviously, their reactions are boring and they don't care anymore. and da-da-da-da. I'm like, I feel like some of my favorite reactions came out this year. And also, I'm a little bit more, you know, used to what I do.
Starting point is 00:33:17 And I've also grown. I'm also a little more tired. I'm not going to always be like the Mr. Super Energetic guy freaking out. It's like Star Wars, man. When people attach to Star Wars, they always want it that way. And that's why people are like, why don't you do trailers anymore? Like, it's people get attached to a type of thing they find you to. Yeah. Like people hate that I talk about it.
Starting point is 00:33:38 DC as much as I do because I love these characters and like they want me to only talk Marvel. That's not going to happen. We're going to continue to stream in just the super chastings a little bit. Okay. All right. I see someone bringing it up in the chat. I believe the community posts voted. I have not seen it. I'm going to react to it. For Craven ends the Sony Spider-Bose. The Craven the Hunter. Apps, abs, abs, abs, abs. So Craven the Hunter is ending the Sony Spiderverse
Starting point is 00:34:11 um coy you saw this and i i saw you're out of the theater reaction yeah you were the only one who was over the moon about it oh favorite film of the year this guy again just this guy just cannot stop shilling shill shill shill shillers my subtitle uh no it's not great um is it fun bad
Starting point is 00:34:34 sometimes i can go I'm like, okay, that was the, okay, so before you go into your, like, discussion about it, when I watch, yeah, no spoilers. When I watched, um, hi, Aisha, when I watched, um, uh, Madam Webb, I was hoping that it could be like one of our, how people felt about me during the Tyler Perry reaction videos where I could just like riff and have a fun time. And I was just kind of bored out of my mind. So I couldn't, I didn't even find the, uh, the energy to be compelled to be excited to be like, let me make fun of this and have a fun time. I couldn't even do it. just, like, so bored out of my mind, I couldn't do it.
Starting point is 00:35:11 But does this provide that? The 60% of the movie that is similar to the trailers does. The whopping 40% of the movie that is a slow burn drama does not. Okay. I will not spoil a thing, but it has some of the same issues as Madam Webb with ADR, with clearly multiple movies being put together. My issue was there is a great movie in there somewhere. And J.C. Chondor directed some great Triple Frontier-esque stuff.
Starting point is 00:35:43 That's what he directed. And Aaron Taylor Johnson loves this character. Russell Crow loves this character. Do-Eyves with a great name. Oh, Thrill's and Shills. That is a fantastic podcast name. I love that. Let me screenshot that in case I don't forget.
Starting point is 00:35:59 Oh, my God. Hold on a second. I lost my old train of God. That might be a great podcast name. Turles and Shills. That's a really good. That's a really good podcast. Holy shit.
Starting point is 00:36:08 dough eyes. We might have to credit we might take that. If we take that dough eyes gets a shirt. That's the first one where we both unanimously We just both got excited. We're like excited about it. We're like, ooh. A good movie? Yeah. Yeah, Thrills and Shills is a solid and it's clean. Get rid of the, it's cleaner.
Starting point is 00:36:26 The, Craven. I like it more than Madam Webb because I can see what they tried to do in there. Madam Webb. I've written 20 different better movies around. I see what the movie that has Russell Crow in it is doing. I see what Aaron Taylor Johnson
Starting point is 00:36:42 is bringing. But then there's absolute moments of how did this get by the editors? How did this get by the writers? How did this get by the studio? And there's enough of those that for long periods of time in between me being like, oh, cool scene. I'm like, what is happening? What's going on?
Starting point is 00:36:58 Like, I'm baffled for maybe half this movie, and that's drama and action. There's a lot of characters. There are like five villains at at the like recognizable villains um it doesn't work it's not as bad as madame web it's not as good as venom whatever that means to you too broke to pay attention to the cgai coy gregg introspection that should be like a uh a segment that we break into oh i like that in the middle in the middle of
Starting point is 00:37:26 it yeah it's time for some cg i really bad like reboot era cg i thinking or cgi of us as the thinking man well hope is to say it sometimes takes enough failures for a massive movie studio to realize maybe we made a mistake because you know what it is of what broke them it's not the how bad the movie is it's the financial performance of the movie because once those financial numbers stop coming in then they're like oh maybe we need to do something different yeah it's like they don't give a shit about rotten tomato scores Sony when it comes to spider man is one of the most fascinating things in the movie industry to me, simply because, like, they've done
Starting point is 00:38:11 some amazing, no pun intended, they've done some amazing Spider-Man movies, truly incredible films, and then they branched off and did this other thing. That was just so weird. It was a strange, strange thing today. I don't understand what it is and why they thought it would work to begin with. And there's also, like, legalities behind it that we, don't really know the full story. Because it's insane that Spider-Man isn't
Starting point is 00:38:39 in like the Spider-Man movies. That has to be a legal thing. Like there's no way. It's strange as hell. Because in Spider-Man Noir, the live-action Nicholas Cage, Spider-Man-Noir, I hear they're calling him Ben Riley. Why would you do that? Unless you can't use Peter Parker.
Starting point is 00:38:55 Will it even be Ben Riley? Ben Riley's Scarlet Spider-Spider. Peter Parker should be Spider-Man's No. So why would that, unless they can't use Peter Parker? Right? Is that a Sony thing? It's on my Amazon. Sony produces or shows.
Starting point is 00:39:10 Yeah. Is that weird? I have a lot of questions. I got a lot of questions, too, and I think this is a really good thing, because, and I hope what they need, if they're going to do some bullshit like this, they need to get someone in who's like a James Gunn,
Starting point is 00:39:23 who's like a Kevin Feigy. You just made me so happy. Neacap shout out, and said my favorite review of the year, that makes me so happy. It's a tiny little indie that, like, you know, I thought 72 people would watch the review of. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:39:33 Of course. But, yeah, that is a really strange prospect that they're doing. And I don't know. I mean, like, the venom movies were fun and all. But it really just felt like some weird passive junior thing that was never as strong as it could have been. And the most disappointing aspect of it was like, they would constantly tease us with like, Spider-Man might come, Spider-Man might come. That was every one of those movies, Spider-Man might come. It's like such a weird thing to set up.
Starting point is 00:40:03 It also felt like the fandom was making it. Like, it happened this time. And you're like, what? Like, I kept hearing like, this is the one. I'm like, I don't know who said that. And I really feel, someone asked earlier, when do you think the DCU, DCEU became unsalvageable? I feel like that when it really happened with the Spider-Verse movies, the ones without Spider-Man, was when Tom Holland and Venom did not actually team up when Venom just went back to know.
Starting point is 00:40:33 Oh, and they just, you know. Yeah, it was like, why did it not interact? Oh, he was the same movie. Because once you had that tease for them, it was like, finally, it's going to happen. And then they're like, never mind. And then Venom 3 is like, we're going to make that not matter at all. Yeah, it doesn't matter at all. Like, nothing about Spider-Man.
Starting point is 00:40:49 So, yeah, even though I thought Venom 3 was my favorite of the Venom movies, it's still very much was a disappointment. And I think that's when people were lost on it. Yeah. And then on top of that, because it got to the point it was like to think that, The thing that people held out for with those movies is maybe they will turn around. Maybe they will be good once Spider-Man shows up. Yeah. Maybe then.
Starting point is 00:41:12 And then what I think- That's a sinister six building out from individual movies is a cool idea. There's a cool concept to it. But they couldn't even properly. Venom 2 was the only movie that really alluded to it. And then you had the Morbius and all the post-credits scenes. Kind of, yeah. Morbius, which just, but that's the weird day and age that we live in as film lovers is,
Starting point is 00:41:32 I think we are so much I was having this conversation for Ryan Airy the other day and he was saying to me of the Star Wars the MCU fandom specifically the Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom
Starting point is 00:41:44 will never be as strong or as passionate as the Star Wars fandom that's where there's so much like it was hostile and toxicity but there's also so much love and everything because of how Star Wars was formed
Starting point is 00:41:55 in the years and everything and I thought about it a little bit more what he was actually talking about there and I feel like it's because we're in the DNA now where we are so exposed to the behind the scenes intricacies the movie news all this shit where we see the business behind it way more than we can just experience the art like when star wars came out i don't feel like people were real like we might have heard box office numbers and shit but all it was it was the pure cinematic escapism and that's why there was such a passion that formed around it and became like fans filling in the the blank spots for the lore and all these things where they took over from the from george Luke is. So I think that's what's gone wrong with the industries. We know too much. We know way too much. Something that stood out to me from a behind the scenes thing. I don't really, I stopped
Starting point is 00:42:43 watching behind the scene stuff on DVDs because of something Christian Bale said in a behind the scenes thing for I think Batman begins at the dark night. He said, I think audiences are exposed to way too much of this stuff because it ruins the magic for audiences. Yeah. And that stood out to me so strong that I was like, you know what? You're right. I'm going to stop watching these. It's like we're talking about trailers. Like, we literally are watching less about things so we can enjoy the movie. I don't want to know everything about everything. Yeah, so I think...
Starting point is 00:43:08 We're the wrong career, Greg, but here we are. But that's kind of what we're trying to talk about with... So this is what our podcast would be like, except we'll have better mics and we'll be looking at each other. Yeah. But, like, I was literally about to pin it to that. I think that's what we're going to be discussing is long-form conversations about what we think the industry is where it's going,
Starting point is 00:43:23 like having longer form just chats about movie dumb, but not behind the scenes, not like breaking down stuff because you get plenty of that. Yeah. Absolutely. Absolutely. No, I don't think it's SIMBRT's is done. I don't think we'll continue Superman and Lois, honestly.
Starting point is 00:43:37 I'll probably just finish it on my own. Clayface might fail. Who knows? I have a little bit concerned about some of the DCU numbers. But, hey, we got one more story, one more main story to go through here. Thank you, guys. I like when people say you agree with me as much. I usually hear people just disagree with me, so thanks.
Starting point is 00:43:52 The final story of the day is this one, which I thought was actually really interesting. I actually kind of believe him. our boy Ryan Reynolds Baby Goose Ryan what he was saying Did you watch it The actors on actors
Starting point is 00:44:06 I have not because I want to sit down And watch it Like I want to like Oh you actually want to like visually see Yeah I want to sit and have a meal And experience two of my favorite actors Have a conversation
Starting point is 00:44:14 Which is so ironic Because I was just saying I find the scenes This is different I love actors discussing their craft That's not specific to a project Just like reveling in the art That's my jam
Starting point is 00:44:23 Actors on actors On my favorite seasons of the year Like whenever this time of year comes around I'm like ooh I mean, you get the right actors together. It could be a damn good episode. Oh, dude, Ryan, I mean, Deadpool and Spider-Man?
Starting point is 00:44:33 Well, what he was talking about, the main thing that was going around is he was saying he doesn't feel like there'll probably be another Deadpool solo movie. And that he will, that Deadpool will continue, though, in supporting roles. Sure. That's what the comics have done. He was even saying, like, yeah, get Chan Tim's Gambit movie. We'll go. Yeah. You know?
Starting point is 00:44:54 Yeah. And now there is a solo Deadpool comic. It's just not as big as it was when Deadpool's. woman is out. I think he's smart as a businessman to not over saturate the market with pool because that's what happened in the comics. That's what happens a lot of times with characters. Keep him
Starting point is 00:45:08 exciting by having them like, you know, behind the scenes or not behind the scenes. Side scenes. Like have him pop up and be fun. I think what has made was maintain Deadpool's excitement is that we usually get the impression that we'll get a sequel yet we really wait for them. Yeah. And
Starting point is 00:45:24 whenever they show up, they're bigger than the last and if you think it's better than last that's a completely different question but they're always bigger than the last and they constantly feel like event cinema and I think Ryan Reynolds knows exactly what he's doing and I believed him in what he was talking about because he really went into detail about it
Starting point is 00:45:43 he was saying like he's much older now and it takes up years of his life and it absorbs him to be away from his family and he wants to be around for his kids and he's very outspoken about his relationship he constantly brings up like the conflicting relationship he had with his dad and it sounds like he really wants to be a great dad to his kids
Starting point is 00:46:04 which takes time which means you can't be out of set for 12 hours I mean like I don't know Ryan Reynolds this all could just be like the guy who's putting on a great demonstration in front of a camera of like the personalities presenting himself but from what the information is that we are receiving from him it sounds like he really wants to be there for his children and being a supporting role is different because he could at least Kind of like the way how they would consult James Gunn for some of the dialogue in Avengers Infinity War when it comes to the Guardians. He could still have some saying that.
Starting point is 00:46:33 And then you have less months on set if you're just a supporting role. I want him to be able to just enjoy his life and be Deadpool. And he's done a lot for the character more than arguably anyone but like Rob and Joe Kelly. Yeah. And I do start, I did start feeling like, I'm sure there's other things for Deadpool to go through. But it's done the kind of the ringer. By the time we got to three, it did. seem like like three is such a
Starting point is 00:46:58 Marvel, Deadpool Wolverine, it's such a Marvel cinematic universe like Funhouse film, right? Or a more of like Fox Marvel fun house movie. But in terms of like the Deadpool specific character arc journey yeah, it's the weakest one
Starting point is 00:47:14 to me out of the three films, you know? I think one and two are much stronger in terms of like a Deadpool centric story. As a Deadpool centric story. One is still like leaps and bounds above two or three as Deadpool to me. Yeah, absolutely. Like the personification of Deadpool. But sequels have to be bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger. And I do think two was bigger than one and three was bigger than two.
Starting point is 00:47:31 But I would love if we have him pop in to be Deadpool in things, then try to make a fourth bigger one. Like I don't want more of that. I want more Deadpool, but I don't want more Deadpool movie that feels more extravagant. Although I will say I think it would be a pretty badass to see both him, Hugh Jackman, and Tom Holland kick it together. I would go, him, Hugh Jackman, Andrew, Bradfield. I would say Tom Holland just because I'm like he's Spider-Man currently.
Starting point is 00:48:01 Andrew Garfield, Spider-Man. But I would say. He's only made out with one Spider-Man. Put him in the movie of that one. Andrew Garfield's way more sensibility of him too. Fair enough. Like that humor, they would balance way better. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:13 I hope the Superman should have comes next week. It's the last week we're in town. Yeah, I was going to say, if it doesn't, then our live next week will be about the holidays. Yeah, I mean, it's the last time that we are going to cover anything because Greg's taking we started at the top of this an overdue late honeymoon yes an overdue late honeymoon well those are our main stories let's see what's going on the chat let's see what's catching up on the super chats and everything they really help out the stream especially because playbacks on these are weird uh for our specific real rejects algorithm learning algorithms is so weird
Starting point is 00:48:47 we'd have to do like live streams we have to find like a specific established live stream time every time. Every week. That way the algorithm can eventually start promoting the live streams properly. Isn't it weird? That's why like a Campion one does really
Starting point is 00:49:04 great or like 3C films doing good because they have his established like usual time that he does them. Interesting. There's a lot of things to them that is really strange. Let me pull these up properly. Hold on a second.
Starting point is 00:49:15 Let me get rid of the let me just see you guys. I like having the chat on screen. You know how I roll guys. I see it. Let me see here. Oops, that's a lot of chat down here. Ari Koi, it's a very relaxed stream today.
Starting point is 00:49:28 I'm just so, it's been a week, man. It's been a real week, a real testing week. Yeah, that is. I really need this holiday more than ever. Every year I used to be, the first 10 years I was in L.A., I was like, man, I hate how long the town shuts down. The last five years have been like, I need the holiday more than life itself. And this year is definitely the most ever.
Starting point is 00:49:47 I'm white knuckling my way through the next week. Yeah, I'm pretty. I'm just really just clinging to life, man. It's been hard. Pulling two all-nighters this month already. Yeah. And I'm not, my body's not as used to it anymore. Dude, so many people in my Craven review were like,
Starting point is 00:50:01 Coyne's rest, his eyes are bloodshot. I was like, I have 15 videos left until I take a break. Just 15 to go. And that's if we get screeners. Like, I just, I'm, I'm just hanging on for, like. I got 11 more movies to watch before I can make my best of the year list. Like, I'm just, I'm alive. Really quick.
Starting point is 00:50:17 Yeah, you bet your ass, John and Terry are going to return for the last of us season, too. That is like so much. I think those are better reactions to what Andrew and I have to offer because they haven't played the game. So I feel like, yeah, that would be awesome. Anyway, that's a show where it's pretty accurate to the way the games unfold. I love the first season. Yeah, I love that game so much. What was the question?
Starting point is 00:50:38 I need to refresh it. MBS 24 says Real Rejects is the greatest YouTubers ever. Thank you for everything you do. I appreciate you. We appreciate you. Thanks, Gracie. Okay. Yeah, I would like to think we're the, I don't know, for the greatest.
Starting point is 00:50:54 Coy, there's got to be a YouTube, you watch other YouTube channel. I don't think, when I say that, I feel like you, you compartmentalize that in a certain type of category of YouTubers. Maybe like you watch other podcasts and stuff. I watch. I watch, like, Chris Williamson, I watch. Chris Williamson. Who's on YouTube. Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Starting point is 00:51:12 Sometimes I watch it in this beautiful jawline. Uh-huh. I really enjoyed Josh Brolin on Joe Rogan last week. I haven't heard it. Although, fun story. I did Taekwondo for 10 years. Oh. It's exactly who I trained under.
Starting point is 00:51:30 And it is Jun Chong Taekwondo. Yep. For the last few years I was there, I was trained by June Chong himself. He's like a master of career martial artist. That's why you can kick the crazy. That's who Josh Brolin says in the podcast. When Joe Rogan asks him, where did you train? He says June Chong Taekwondo.
Starting point is 00:51:46 Dude, that's sick. Oh, shit. Oh, that's awesome. I love that. Nicholas Cage's, one time I, the only time I've seen Nick Cage in person, he was having a private lesson with his son, and June Trump was churning him far away. Oh, that's so cool. His son broke a brick, and then, and I saw Nicholas, like, fucking freaking out about it. It was like in the distance.
Starting point is 00:52:05 Oh, what a moment, dude. That's really special. The only time I see Nicholas Cage in my life. That's so dope. I'm only, I, so a hot ones I watch. Uh-huh. A hot ones, yeah. I watch actors on actors, which is YouTube.
Starting point is 00:52:15 I'm only subscribed to, like, eight pages. Yeah, see. You watch YouTube channels. Yeah. I don't feel like you follow like a YouTuber. I don't follow the culture. Right. I know like movies and TV stars.
Starting point is 00:52:28 I know there are YouTubers that have the same like, but like I don't know that world. Right, right, right, right. I'm just a little old. I mean, you don't know. We have people here who are older who watch our channel. No, no, but I mean like to have grown up when those people would have been like of reverence. I have reverence for actors because I grew up when movies were like, uh-oh.
Starting point is 00:52:46 And now it's not. Like, Gen Z doesn't care about actors like I do. And, like, I don't care about YouTubers like they do. It's not like a, I'm not being agist. I'm just saying, like, I didn't follow a YouTuber early enough for me to care about them. Did you watch, um, 28 years later? The trailer? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:01 I did see it. I saw it in a theater. Oh, great. It played before Craven. Part of me was maybe if I have any time at all, I might do a trailer react on. Came on. It's great. Damn, I do want to watch.
Starting point is 00:53:16 It's really good. I just, I'd already seen it because it came on. I had no control. I heard they shot the whole thing with an iPhone 15. Dude, that's great. What's funny is I skipped the trailer when it came out and for days and then it came on during Craven. I was like, guess I'll watch it.
Starting point is 00:53:28 Sure. But it's beautiful. And if it's shot on an iPhone, that's incredible. Channel with no name. Great name. I'm going to hate the discourse from general audience when they eventually called Doom Evil Iron Man. After Avengers Doom's Day.
Starting point is 00:53:42 Yeah, there's already merch. Really? Yeah. Like fan-made, like... Would you call him Evil Iron Man? Yeah. No, because Doom shouldn't be. Like, the only thing they have in common is a metal suit,
Starting point is 00:53:54 but we'll see if that's how it's interpreted. Do you know what I mean? It's going to be hard to not think that when you cast Iron Man as Doctor 2. It just, to me, the immediate plot seems like it'll be the Avengers reaching for his heart because they think, because he looks like Tony Stark. They connect to him even though he doesn't connect back.
Starting point is 00:54:15 They can bring the good out of him. Yes. You know, that's what, something. like how Spider-Man saw his villains in No Way Home. Yeah. At first, you know, like, no, there's a good. There's good. And that's it.
Starting point is 00:54:27 Yeah. Like, and I don't love that we have to do that because Victor should not be that. We shouldn't have a connection to Victor. The Fantastic Four should because Reed and Victor should have a intellectual duel, not some connection to the MCU. I don't know. I don't love it. Abernathy of the eight channels I'm subscribed to.
Starting point is 00:54:45 I'm on three of them. So I'm subscribed to three of the eight channels. Scooby-Doo reactions are. coming next year. Don't you worry. What Scooby-Doo? Is there a new show? One and two. I haven't seen Oh, yes. Yes, we got them to celebrate the DCU. Scooby-Doo. Have you played Tekken? Yeah, yeah. I play a lot of Tech. And Tenet. Wait, Tenet. Wait, Tenet. Yet? I love Tenet. I saw it. I saw, I rented a theater off my birthday. I watched it. Oh, cool. Yeah, during the pandemic, theaters were closed. So for my birthday, I got a whole theater to myself with 10 friends. Marco Tunstil saying, I literally have nothing to say, but I just got paid in one
Starting point is 00:55:19 to support you guys. Oh, thanks. Wow. Congrats on the DC gig, Coy. I love the Coycast hoodie Unpunchable Gift Horse for September. Oh, yes.
Starting point is 00:55:27 Someone from the Coycast side. I never plug my podcast ever. My, like, the guy I do the podcast with is making sure I do that now. But CoiCast, my podcast. I also have a Patreon I never talk about. So if you guys literally only know me from YouTube, I also have a Patreon, I also have a podcast.
Starting point is 00:55:43 I also, oh, that's it. I just those three things. Coy, when it comes to the D.C. Studios thing. Yeah. Do you feel like it's harder for you to be critical of D.C. stuff now? No, they actually encourage it because we don't want to have a very commercial podcast. The goal is to have it be like a roundtable conversation. Unfortunately, I love creature commandos.
Starting point is 00:56:03 So coming out of the gate, when I come out of the gate, like, this is the best. It's like you and I watched it. You know how much I loved it. I have no reason to act differently under their lights, but I genuinely love it. If something comes out that I don't love, I've been encouraged to be, the voice of comic books about it so thank you I so far
Starting point is 00:56:25 really really have been encouraged to be the voice of comic book fandom so if I don't like something or if I think something isn't accurate I've been encouraged to share it so I haven't had that problem yet my biggest problem has just been people thinking even though I've made it very clear I'm a comic book fan
Starting point is 00:56:41 that I'm a Marvel fan when I've been very vocal about image and boom and dynamite and DC this whole time but there's been more Marvel properties to talk about So if you know the Venn diagram of me, if you see 80% Marvel, it's because Marvels put out 80% of the content. Like, I can't help that.
Starting point is 00:56:55 Yeah, that's fair. So, and also, like I said, at the top, I couldn't talk about some of the DC characters in the comics while the DCEU was so powerful because they were so different from the comics that I would get hate for my interpretation of the characters. And I was like, this is exhausting. This doesn't benefit me.
Starting point is 00:57:09 So the only thing I've struggled with is just optics. Ah, that's forever game, huh? Yeah. The optics is the forever game. Because I've always loved, like, I have pictures of me as a kid with Batman toys in Batman clothes. Like, I have receipts. The amount of people lately what I've been finding so fun to find out is, especially when you have a business that's meant to be run online,
Starting point is 00:57:33 the amount of people I see, we hear all the time of social media, right? Like you live your best life ever on social media, but you never really know what people are going through. Where in business, the amount of people I see who you assume are doing incredibly well. Yeah. A lot aren't. a lot of people who act like they're not too well actually harming a lot of success and money and stuff so yeah it's kind of optics it's like the big name of the game and and i'm really just wanting to i guess that's why i really want to do a podcast because i've just been enjoying conversation more and i want to aiming more for just uh that's part of the weird part about trailer reactions is they sort of i feel like i can react however i want during a movie reaction but i think trailers people really expect a certain type of thing from me now and I feel like I got I kind of lost sight of for a bit of like
Starting point is 00:58:24 wait what am I feeling or what or do I have a subconscious reaction to how people want me to react yeah I lost sight about and so I needed a little break from it so that way I could find the truth authenticity again I have that with the interviews like what does the studio want what is the audience want what is the Koi want those are three different things sometimes yeah it's really hard and that's but like you said the conversations of the whole point of all this for me. I like talking to people about art. Yeah. And the same thing with movie news. A lot of the time, it's really easy to go, like,
Starting point is 00:58:53 what do people want me to, my insert people pleasing older, Greg, baby boy, Greg opinion will go, like, I start to think in a way that maybe people want me to think, and then I go, wait, no, just, what do I think? Yeah. What do I feel? Let me
Starting point is 00:59:10 go out there. So it's usually like this mental process you got to go through. Yeah, it's weird, but apparently I don't care about anything Craig Shipway Craig Craig Craig Craig Shipway Hey look at that look at AUD that's like two dollars Australian I don't know I don't know it counts to Either way I like the color it pops it's sexy
Starting point is 00:59:30 Vibrate appreciate coy coy it's the coy show show over Greg This question is from my best real rejecter oh snap So Coy what do you think about null potentially being in Spider-Man 4 Don't know that's true anymore like I feel like I feel like the news of the week and man It's so sad that that's all came out. The Weak Raven came out. They're like, that's over.
Starting point is 00:59:50 I don't know if that negates that news. And it was always a rumor, which is always tricky. It really is hard, especially a Spider-Man fandom. The optics of what fans think is happening usually overrides what's actually happening. Like, the rumors always get bigger than the truth. So I don't know if that rumor was ever true. We never, no one said no in an official capacity. Maybe.
Starting point is 01:00:14 So I don't know. What do you mean? No one at the studio was like Spider-Man full, no. Like, no one ever, do you know what I mean? Like, there was never an actual announcement, so it's just fans being loud. Hold on. I want to make sure I don't lose this. Devante, Devante, Devante, put your question, did you, oh, that was your question.
Starting point is 01:00:31 Okay. Find it? Oh, yeah, I found it. I can remember that. Ah, Spider-Man 4. I'm excited for what they do there. I mean, it's a big mystery. I like how we don't know anything.
Starting point is 01:00:43 I'd love a grounded one, but I don't that now. I love it if Tom Hall, if they're only making Tom Holland think he has control. He shows up on set, new pages. The way how he's talking about it is like, this is the first time I'm like, get to have like creative control or input and stuff. I'm like, yeah? Are they just making you think you do? I hope he does.
Starting point is 01:01:04 I mean, it's been in the face of this for so long. Well, and also bringing in the director of film cheap. It's easy to make actors think. And a lot of times, directors will do that to producers. Yeah. to make the producers real, like, their opinion matters or they just know how to, like, talk and play cake. And then they get the dailies, and they're like, wait a second.
Starting point is 01:01:20 Yeah, yeah. But I'm excited for the director. I'm excited for the potential. Sure. Sure be fun. Bad medicine, my God, okay, 2025. We're going to get this collab going. 2025, bad medicine.
Starting point is 01:01:36 They better give big mic full control. Congrats on the new gig, Coy. Thank you. Bad medicine are like, let me try to get a photo of these guys. pull it up on screen. I want Mike Flanagan to be able to make what he wants to make and I think that's how
Starting point is 01:01:48 I think that's how it's going to happen. Like I'm really excited for the creators that are being brought in. Bad medicine are like buff dudes. Oh, that's a cool like set and everything. Big dude, big buff guys who react. I respect that.
Starting point is 01:02:01 They're like a little cool banner at there. They're like broby bro bro bro bros. Respect. But they're really cool and they're also sensitive. I mean, damn, look at it. Look at them posing with Mario Lopez.
Starting point is 01:02:11 Jesus Christ. You make Mario looks. small i know mara's a little bitch job bad medicine yeah i like the real that's why that's why i've been i've been shitty with my time to collab because i'm i'm so intimidated by you guys well i thought we were the reactors with muscles no we got to look out way we saw bad medicine no i can't be on screen well clearly bad medicine is on steroids well clearly there's no way to actually bad medicine is oh yeah it's right there in the name so you can cheat your way to success yeah bad medicine I get you to look, but you need to reconsider your decisions.
Starting point is 01:02:44 Come on now. Anyway. Yeah. That's enough for that. Oh, they're back in the chat here. Let's make it happen. Seriously. I've been trying to make a collab with more reaction channels.

It's great art style and character detail is next level. I always make sure to play three to four hours every Christmas of Miles Morales, Spider-Man. Do you? I am so far nine hours into Miles Morales, Spider-Man, because all year, I only really have three hours of play time in. So that three-year-old game, boy, oh, boy, am I nine hours in?
Starting point is 01:04:58 It is unlikely, unfortunately, that I will ever have time to play video games. Oh, yeah, I saw gameplay footage of this. It did look really cool, actually. I don't know. I mean, are you guys hearing this? I don't want you guys to hear it. Word, it's going to like just play in your ears. Yeah, it looks awesome.
Starting point is 01:05:14 And they had art of it up at Comic-Con. Quality is really good. Let me try to get this a little bigger. They had a whole banner, and at the end of the banner was Marvel Rivals characters, which was cool. Really highlighting the comic into movie, into TV, into video game thing.
Starting point is 01:05:29 I think that's rad. Why can't I make this bigger, Carl? No. You're asking me about tech, Greg? I don't know. Why is that one bigger? It's just stretching. Whatever.
Starting point is 01:05:39 there's spider man enjoy it pretty cool eat it up okay all right my two favorite reactors nine nine I know there's a few other ones but where I'm gonna see live chat with live shout up if we could ever play like background royalty free music just like elevator just to kind of like keep the juices flowing a little bit it helps me out I know I I ebb and flow energetically what do we got What do we got? Oh, yeah. God damn monkey, man.
Starting point is 01:06:11 It's going to haunt me forever. Oh, the Hit Monkey that you didn't watch. Yeah, Hit Monkey. Oh, Monkey Man. The Deppatel movie? That's Deppatel. What's the one I keep in? Hit Monkey is the Marvel movie.
Starting point is 01:06:22 God, yeah, it keeps confusing me. There's two things. One's Hit Monkey, one's Monkey. Well, I would love, I do want to see that one. I heard it's good. Have you seen it? Hit Monkey or Monkey Man? Monkey Man I enjoyed.
Starting point is 01:06:32 Was it like badass? Yeah, it's like John Wick, but like. Oh, Deppette. Yeah. Okay. Which is high praise. Dev Wick. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:39 9-9-9-Dawn FM. Mike Flanning is the perfect man for any story with highly traumatized character. So excited for his take on Claim Face. He's claimed his face back. Claim Face. That's an actor when you claim your own face. Yeah, I'm very excited as well. I would like to see Mike Flanan.
Starting point is 01:06:55 Mike Flanagan usually, let's look at his IMPD really quick. Crushing it. He generally does do, like, character grieving. You've got to go to acceptance in some way. That's usually the primary, like, arc of the stories. he does and I like that's like his voice that's that's the stories he likes to tell and that's kind of what I really loved about midnight mass was like oh this is so different than what he does but it's also so him yeah I agree uh Cush yeah oh hush was great uh actually I know people who are
Starting point is 01:07:27 who work with like hearing impaired people and they hate it though they hate I hate the depiction of it um I barely remember this movie I forgot he did that did not see. Leach of Origin of Eel. I loved Hillhouse. Love Dr. Sleep. Gerald's. Gerald's game is probably my favorite movie that he did. Haunting of Hillhouse. Amazing. High Blind Manor. Okay, Midnight Club and the Fall House of Usher are the ones that haven't seen.
Starting point is 01:07:53 You should watch. Yeah, I haven't seen Midnight Club. Where I started it and I didn't love it. He hasn't done that many movies. Yeah. What he's done, though? Prolific. Incredible. I liked the Oculus.
Starting point is 01:08:04 I thought that was cool. That was like, that is probably the... most fun Mike Flanagan. Yeah, that's the only one where I'm like, this is a tight 90. This is a fun one. But most, but yeah, I prefer like a more like, let's
Starting point is 01:08:20 simmer in the Mike Flanagan world. And you just marinate and experience hours of it. I'm very curious how we handle this Clayface. Not all games will be D-CU. Wait a minute, it gets confusing after a while. I don't know. No eyes with a super sticker. Thanks. What does it say? Bump.
Starting point is 01:08:37 Fis bump. Thanks. Bump the chicken. I like to kick a chicken. Thank you, DeWis. You're the first person in our lives for a day. Gracie, thoughts on Monkey Man and the Holdovers. I actually really wanted to watch Holdovers. Is it a Christmas movie? I'll let Olivia or no. Yeah, it is legit a Christmas. Like, it's a very good one, too.
Starting point is 01:08:54 It feels like that, it feels like Goodwill hunting era filmmaking, which I don't say lately. What's your favorite Christmas movie? Let's a weapon. I watch it every Christmas. What's your favorite movie that people undoubtedly call a Christmas movie? Oh, cowards? I would say, Maracle on 34th Street, the original, the 1930s one. I like fun movies, Greg.
Starting point is 01:09:17 Fun Christmas movies? Jingle all the way, elf? Elf. Elf's good. Miracle on 34th Street, the classic, though, the black and white with the 30s one I love. Do you not like jingle all the way? It's okay. I love jingle all the way.
Starting point is 01:09:29 Oh, Fat Man? I love Fat Man. Walton Gagins hunting Mel Gibson is Santa. I haven't seen it. Dude, Mel Gibson's Santa. Walton Gagins is FBI agent hunting him. I heard it's, like, surprisingly serious. It is.
Starting point is 01:09:39 It's awesome. Klaus. I love Klaus. I haven't seen Klaus. Kiss, kiss, bang, bang. What else? Do you date, by B. Iron Man 3?
Starting point is 01:09:50 What's a movie you refuse to watch for a stupid reason? Oh, I got, okay. Oh, I got this. Okay. The one word, mouth to butt. Oh, human centipede. That sounds like a good reason. That sounds like a good reason.
Starting point is 01:10:04 I was like, I saw one image for a split second of, of us still. I'm like, nope, never, never happening in my life. I'm number four because I auditioned for it and I made it really far and didn't get it. And Alex Petter for got it. And I don't watch Alex Petifere move in still because I'm peddifer. Thank you, Heather Geer. She's on my page. Devonty Jeffries, his first super chat ever here. Oh. It's not a moment of silence. I caught his question. He said, did you guys watch the game
Starting point is 01:10:28 awards? I didn't even know they were going on until they were over. I saw my friends going. I saw people in nice clothes going, my game awards fit. And I'm like, cool. This has been a very, this is one of my weirdest. December months I've had in a very long time. I started saying no to events and people stopped inviting me because I kept saying no. So I now don't go to things
Starting point is 01:10:45 because I like did too much for three years and once you start saying no they're like well I guess I didn't want to come and now I'm like I'm too tired anyway. What some people maybe you guys notice now is that the the trajectory of entertainment journalism
Starting point is 01:11:00 or content creators for the field we're in of content creation whatever you want to call it, it's very different compared to what most people do for living because when people should be having breaks is when they put out all the shit because they're promoting to everyone on
Starting point is 01:11:17 breaks so that means this is when they try to make it the busiest for us. And then when things are busy for the people, it's not like we are slow. We don't have slow seasons. Like I don't think there is a slow period. I think usually September? September, sometimes in the very beginning of the year, but it
Starting point is 01:11:33 sounds like this will be an unusual beginning of the year because we have Spider-Man last of us season two so there's some like surprisingly big stuff at the beginning of the year because streaming noticed those gaps and they went oh it's an empty time
Starting point is 01:11:48 for people to watch stuff but yes like like for example Squid Game Season 2 is like a big one of man I really want to cover this show January ads are way better ad sense wise January? I mean December ads are way better ad sense wise than like if
Starting point is 01:12:03 for you guys who don't know this is kind of like why I want to do the podcast do because I feel like he's like going to shit like this it's very common for people who make their living off of YouTube to freak out during January. Mr. Sunday movie is my favorite YouTuber.
Starting point is 01:12:21 He says like he doesn't really upload anything on January because he adds in the ads are shit. Is that bad? They're terrible. They are really, really bad. I remember the first time we broke, like our highest watch time on a video was a reaction I did a Roxy and the commiss were through the roof. I'm like, oh my God, the fucking engagement is crazy.
Starting point is 01:12:37 And I was like, oh, I barely me. And I was like, if only I uploaded this two weeks earlier. All that works. So I'll rest. I won't stress about January. So that's why it's like, oh, man, I don't want to put up squid game in January. And you guys, it's so fucking awkward.
Starting point is 01:12:56 If you guys don't edit it either. What's hard about it? You guys don't edit either. Oh, that's just so not true. How off-putting of a question. That is. I don't know what tone you were looking for here, but it didn't come across. I'll tell you, man, we put, beyond the filming part, I mean, especially on my end, there's a lot of the actual video production I'm doing myself as well.
Starting point is 01:13:22 So, yeah, if all I had to do was go, ha ha. And then on top of that, too, what I love about people who eventually go into what we do for a living is that everyone always does. It's like, this is actually more tiring than I thought of me. I'm so tired all that time. Yeah, because there's an expenditure of mental and... Your mental calories are more than your physical calories, and you're constantly thinking and you're constantly outputting energy. And you're also, like, you're aware that everything you say is going to be clipped out and used against you.
Starting point is 01:13:53 Well, you're also... Yeah, it's like... Everything's making a statement. The idea of what we do, especially when it comes to, like, the reaction or reviewing thing, is it supposed to just seem like... Like, don't get me wrong. It's a way better gig than, like, being a fucking doctor or something. I'm glad I'm working at coal mine.
Starting point is 01:14:10 Yeah, like, don't get me wrong. I respect the coal miners. But for anything you do for a living, when there's such a large quantity of it, what ends up happening is you can get tired really easy. Like, already I'm kind of blinking on my thoughts here. What was the original question? Since we don't edit, why is it hard? Well, no, I mean, I do something the editing and I do the thumbnailing. And then on top of that, too, when it comes to the actual, what am I trying to say about the,
Starting point is 01:14:35 the actual filming of it all. When we are filming, the idea that you're always on is a little bit tougher. Hey, yes, that's what it is. What we're doing is we're supposed to make it look like it's not taking any effort. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:49 That's the whole concept of it. It's to make it look like you're not taking any effort. Yeah. The whole point of it. But there's so much surrounding it. Even just getting to this live, didn't this stream scheduled
Starting point is 01:15:01 and getting like spending an hour on the thumbnail beforehand and trying to get all this shit going. It's just strange. It's also my second two-hour live stream today. I also had a meeting in between it that was stressful. Between all that, I had to wake up this morning and get it. But there's life that is all around it.
Starting point is 01:15:20 And then there's the prep and the reading and the watching and the consuming. It's also really tricky because it is everything people do for hobbies we don't have anymore. Like, I don't have fun things. There's no recharge on my health meter. I don't I've never discovered a hobby I haven't monetized you see and there's also think of it like this guys I think I feel like for the best way to kind of this analogy actually just came to me right now you know when you are hanging out with people and then you get to a point where you're like I kind of just want to be alone right now it's every day when it's like why is that what if I turn to you I'm like why is that hard all you're doing is talking to people yeah but there's something that takes a toll on you there's something that does wear you down and then you're like I got a retreat um And when you have no time to retreat, like, I have been meeting after meeting and video and in front of a laptop all day. Coy and I were dealing with something with a major studio yesterday that was, won't say what, but man, was it some of the biggest bullshit we've dealt with it a while. Like, maybe ever.
Starting point is 01:16:19 I was, that was, I was, I texted quite hours ago. I'm still pissed off at what happens. So what I'm mad right now? I was, when I think about it, I get really, it just took the life out of me, man. Yeah, no. I mean, I won't say, but no, it really, it's like, there's, there's, there's cons. And then in the position, we're, there's so many people you've got to answer to all the time. There's so much going on. The amount of emails I get a day. Yeah. The amount of phone calls, emails, text, and bandwidth is just, it's unsurmountable. And, like, the preparation time. Yeah. So it's, it's way more than just editing. And I, and I love editors and I respect editors because I can't do it well. But that is a big piece, but it's not everything. I mean, we could just do it the way how they think we do. which is okay i'm going to sit up my webcam and i'm just going to sit on my couch and record me watching and then uh just upload that yeah we could i don't think we'd have i'm not gonna talk
Starting point is 01:17:12 i'm not gonna i'm not gonna talk if like they're talking too much hold on here let me show you okay i'm not gonna talk at all now you're just gonna say i steal yeah um yeah nah for original short film we have some sketches and stuff but i do have i do love the i mean that footage you just put out of my walk in here. Like, I think it's fun. The behind the scenes and the sketch stuff is fun. Yeah. Yeah, it can be.
Starting point is 01:17:42 Ivan Hernandez. I guess that's the other part, too. It's like, it's the large stack of stuff that we've been doing lately. It's a volume. That's what it is. It's the volume. Literally, that demeaning question got me really thinking about it. I've put up 12 videos and 13 days on my own page while being here, while also doing other
Starting point is 01:18:01 It's the volume of thought. It's also the volume of feedback that also happens when, you know, like, like, so what we got here. I mean, I'm going to show you guys. I'm going to say all our numbers. We have a, is we have a thing called a creator studio app. Yeah. And I realize that's a very generous super chat, so I want to get to it. I real, I, what I realized about what is so insidious about the goddamn app is that it is, it is supposed to.
Starting point is 01:18:31 to be for content creators to monitor their YouTube channel, aka their business, but they run it like a social media app. So it's as addicting a social media. I'm on it more than everything. I'm on it. For years, I've been in all the time. Remember two months ago? You saw me open it and you're like, ah, you're a YouTube now because that is now my social media app. And you're dealing with every bit of feedback. So you might have your videos start doing better than ever. So let's say you're like averaging, let's go with like a smaller channel. Let's say you're averaging like 5,000 views, 5,000 views, 5,000 views. And then you get a video of 6,000 views.
Starting point is 01:19:06 And YouTube reports back, like, this video is doing better than never. It's up. And you feel great about it. And then let's see your average goes up, even though 5,000 views is great. Now you're at 20,000 views on average. And one day you get a 10,000 view video. And it's like your video is terrible. You're just telling you this.
Starting point is 01:19:20 So then you're just like messing with every part of you. And as this channel has grown too, I've had to learn how to like work with, like, Beyond the host, this is like a 30, like a 20-person team here now. And there's a lot of people I have to constantly talk with, you know. And it is a volume of energy thing. Like we actually put out energy, which isn't infinite. So I, I'm glad we have this. Again, this is the podcast.
Starting point is 01:19:46 This is the podcast so we can just kind of go off tangent. Jasmine spying on your phone trying to get a cheek. Good, good, good. Ivan Hernandez. Been watches since 2018. I recommend you all talk. I recommend me out to my film friends and we always talk about your takes.
Starting point is 01:20:04 I want to ask, how does it feel to be such a cornerstone in the review React community after being a fan of movies your whole life? Thank you. That's a big question and a big amount of big question. Well, this is your channel.
Starting point is 01:20:15 I'm going to let you answer first. It's my job to say it's our channel while internally thinking, I own Koi. It's Greg's channel. I'm going to let Greg answer first on his channel. That is his.
Starting point is 01:20:30 one time i went to when i was in switzerland this there's this guy who's like cute like i went to switzerland for ziric if there's someone bet me a million dollars how my since after string channel let me answer this i was in switzerland okay look there was there i went to when i was it when i went to switzerland for the zurich film festival i got it's like easily the biggest thing i'd ever been flown out for ever this was years and years ago right um i I remember hanging out with this guy. I won't say who it is.
Starting point is 01:21:05 In fact, I forgot his name. Even though I hung out with him when he was in California. I remember even hanging out. I hung out with him. I remember driving him for like two hours. It was fucking Airbnb Spock. God damn. But anyway, handsome gentlemen.
Starting point is 01:21:19 Extremely handsome guy. He's one of those, like, really tall, really fit. Literally, like, the whole story with what was going on with this dude at the time. Fuck it. was he went to he had a beautiful girlfriend he thought she cheated on him didn't immediately
Starting point is 01:21:37 sleeps with a woman like within an hour in Switzerland and then he was in California for a week he was like sleeping woman left and right just like he was like one of those guys you're just like I hate guys like you because it just comes to you like nothing also like the lack of integrity
Starting point is 01:21:55 but anyway this this dude he used to have a different YouTube He's very successful in what he does now. I remember once in all see his videos. I just remember his name. But when in Switzerland, suddenly he shows up at one of our events with like 40 people who follow his channel in Switzerland. There's a gang of people who's kind of falling around.
Starting point is 01:22:15 Cool. And then he went, I was like, oh, so you guys are all subscribers of him. And he's like, they're not my subscribers. They're my friends. I was like, I get what you're going for. I have creator friends It's okay And when they say that
Starting point is 01:22:32 It makes me very uncomfortable Like you have to Sometimes you do have to Like that doesn't mean you treat them Like they're less than you That doesn't mean you Look down on them At the same time
Starting point is 01:22:44 It's like and sometimes you can be I would gladly say like Yeah you're a friend You're a friend absolutely But it's okay to also acknowledge The original intention Of what led you to this Have you seen that Denzel Washington clip
Starting point is 01:22:54 Of which one? Denzel Washington with Pedro Pascal and the gladiator two red carpet where he's like, oh, yeah, you know, he's blah, blah, he's a good friend. And he's like, actually, we're not really friends. And Pedro's like, excuse me? And he's like, no, no, we just don't know each other. Come around the house sometime.
Starting point is 01:23:06 Yeah. And I love that moment because Denzel's like, this word has meaning. Yeah. And 40 people that follow you is not that meaning. I have friends that I've met through the world of this, but not everyone I know from the internet is my friend. And people are so tense about being offended over something like that. And it's like, it's okay to say that. like I bumped into Brandon Davis
Starting point is 01:23:30 who has a really great podcast I bumped into him today and I've told Corey this many times I'm like I'm pretty sure that guy doesn't like me pretty sure a guy doesn't like me and then I bump into him at the gym part of me wanted to just say that to him because that's usually what I say if I was on my thought
Starting point is 01:23:43 I feel like it's okay to just say that they mean to talk for like 20 minutes 25 minutes I never mentioned it and I forgot my original with that but I'm like I wouldn't call him like my friend because I don't really know him that well but I'm like, we're cool now.
Starting point is 01:23:58 I would call it some acquaintances. Yeah, I'm really careful with that word now. And then at the same time, it's still like okay to be like, I would like to be able to get to a point where I can call you friend. Like, I can call someone a friend. Sometimes, you know, someone takes my order at a drive-thru, and I'll be like, thanks, brother, but I'm not like, you're my brother. You know?
Starting point is 01:24:15 But anyway, my point with that is for some reason, the chain of thought. He was just switched to mentally, physically. I'm sorry. So with the thought of that, when it comes to that, it is a weird, It's a really fascinating time in the reaction community specifically because when Real Rejects first got into reactions after a couple of years doing this, there was not as many people doing reactions. There was a small handful who became really popular part of the core four at the time. There was a core four in this guy named Jinks who still does something, right? And then now there's like reaction channels for all kinds that are huge.
Starting point is 01:24:54 There's like the different kind of reaction channels like, my name is. Dylan who's bigger than us and they're the ones that are like when they put it in the circle and then they like stop and pause to talk about the video or something like that when it's their first time watching so you know that kind of like when we talk too much at the commentary that's okay on theirs because they pause because of how they handle it you know we just let it play yeah we just let it play yeah the mystery stays mysterious because i try to keep it kind of the same right um and now also too like when i used to my my approach with this before because i grew up on Conan O'Brien and shit
Starting point is 01:25:29 I used to just always go for like comedy and try to make it funny and now what people crave more is to always give it a chance now to always to approach it with a sincere chance and to not immediately take the piss out of it when that's kind of what I used to do a lot
Starting point is 01:25:45 of the time with stuff is like and people used to like that so now watching the way the trajectory has gone for movie reaction channels like there's less trailer reaction channels now but there's all kind of different reaction channel so it is a very fascinating thing to be a part of but i've never quite grasped what presence we have in terms of the film community i have my turn yeah i will say i don't know
Starting point is 01:26:15 if i've ever told gregg this i did not like the concept of reacting until i started doing stuff here because i oh interesting i saw it as a commodifying art in a bad way i think that what reacting is the way we do it here is actually having long-form conversations about the art because of what we do after the movie and the context of reacting to it gives you sharing that moment through the movie or show a context to have the conversation together and I think that's more interesting than watching
Starting point is 01:26:42 me and Greg watching a movie together and then talking about it after is going to be way less interesting to you than you sharing in this part and then getting our part and that's what I didn't understand because to me YouTube was How do I say this? YouTube to me was the McDonald's of art. To me, to me, it felt like it was selling something surface that was not calorically logical.
Starting point is 01:27:06 It didn't have any heart. It didn't have any. It was just to get you full and to take your money. And so once I realized that we could turn it into something that was actually about celebrating art and experiencing art together as a community, what we could turn the comments into is actually sharing in stuff
Starting point is 01:27:21 that mattered to the person, viewing it, not to the commodification of it, I realized that this was about connecting people through the internet, not about selling the idea of something shiny. And so you have to sell the shiny by doing
Starting point is 01:27:38 big pulling faces and the thumbnails, because that's the cost. When you do magic in comics, there's always a cost. And to me, the cost of doing what we get to do is dumb faces and thumbnails. I've accepted that to a point, and I've accepted that there is always going to be some sort of judgment.
Starting point is 01:27:54 to interject at the same time, those faces are always pulled. Oh no, from the moment. From the video. But the optics of one flash frame of a moment versus like how it looks. Because it's the biggest moment of your experience. Like if I trip and fall outside, I'm going to make a dumb face. But me walking around all day, my
Starting point is 01:28:10 face probably isn't. But in the moment it is, and that's what the pulls for the thumbnail are. And I get that that's how you sell it. I understand that. But when I wasn't a reactor, I only saw it as pulling faces and trying to sell yourself. And so what being here has taught me is this is about community in art and how it affects us emotionally.
Starting point is 01:28:28 And that's why I'm excited to the podcast is because we're going to get to dive into all of that without having to do timely stuff. It's not going to be breaking news. It's not going to be, oh, react to this. It's going to be discussing the art and what means to us. And as far as impact, I... With the news as the guideline. Yeah, the news is there.
Starting point is 01:28:44 It's the way to weave it and out. Yeah, the news is there, but it's not going to be like, oh, we have to rush to the studio every day. And then impact-wise, I have been doing this for 10 years now. I started talking about Marvel with Winter Soldier. I started talking about DC by guesting on DC movie news back in the day. I go out and more than anything I've ever done, more than hosting Hall H, more than popping around at every con in the world, I get reject and I get like, oh my God, like it is so cool that the thing that I love about this is people will talk about our opinions, not about the surface stuff. That's fair. And I love our impact on opinions.
Starting point is 01:29:21 yeah i appreciate that that's really true and i think when it comes to fandom the biggest the easiest way to have connected was via the trailer reactions yeah because that's when you're participating in the anticipation with with audiences so i do feel like trailer reactions as much as they like yeah they they're like if you look at all of our copyright claims are mainly in the trailers there's like hundreds of them and when it comes to also it kind of interfere with the movie reaction experience and so part of me wants to do that
Starting point is 01:29:55 just because I like the connectivity to the fandom in that way where you get a chair in that anticipation with them but I don't know back and forth about it anyway I hope that was a in-depth enough answer Nick move it on love you guys if I might start my own reaction channel
Starting point is 01:30:12 well don't it's oversaturated to your own thing good luck Nick no no Nick go do your own thing my friend have a great time doing it yeah enjoy it no matter what you have to enjoy it the only way it's sustainable um god maybe i should do this reaction maybe maybe this is the thing with comments comments that's like you anyone anyone with a react anyone with a youtube channel knows this over time is that you get enough comments you're like oh maybe this is this is the be huge and then you do it you're like oh shit nobody watched it with the 20 people that said it oh yeah when's the last time we did a
Starting point is 01:30:44 spoiler or thumbnail is that venom was little spoilers i don't but i thought that was like on portnice i thought i was like it's on the footage i'm fortnight i mean i guess sometimes like shows but we waited a day i don't know we did show uh the final death of um a penguin oh yeah but then the thumbnail first and we got a lot backlash well like maybe that was not good i'm just kidding i didn't do it i was gonna say i saw that thumb yeah um okay yeah hold on Let me hit up John Humphrey. What's he doing? One second, one second.
Starting point is 01:31:27 I'm going to talk to the live chat. Love you too, 7TGF. Spidey Sense. We're about to get to your super chat. Also, hello. Greg, are you related to Jessica Alba? I don't think he is. I would have heard.
Starting point is 01:31:40 Barbie, first 40 minutes for good. I wish. I was terrible. Totally disagree. You're back. 999. 9.m. All right, last few here.
Starting point is 01:31:47 Moving forward, the magic of Deadpool should be when and how they use him as camera. sprinkled throughout the movies and shows making sure he's not stale and keeping him as the murk with the mouth. I agree cameos and like pop-ins will be fun and could be read and I won't get stale that way. I guess my question is
Starting point is 01:32:04 will he just show up to be funny or part of the magic of Deadpool is as you get that random part. I feel like if he's like a supporting player that's what I'll probably do is like he's just funny and then towards the end he says I'm like inspiring shit. Yeah. I hope it's not just comedy because I do like the brokenness of Deadpool but we'll see. um iisha kenya stream labs there's stream labs here is there i thought people forget about these
Starting point is 01:32:28 no we got some we got so look at them we got damn v 900 killing it with them fives baby let's read them really quick all right we got two from davy 900 we've heard we have heard about barbie too i can't wait for coy to do all his easter eggs because he knows all the barbie films yeah Barbie lore for days harvey's got so much barbie lore always like shut up man i don't want to He's like, man, let me tell you the Barbie history. I don't want to hear about Barbie anymore. I'm not here being Barbie in these streets. Leave me alone.
Starting point is 01:32:57 I'm so fucking tired of hearing about Barbie. Here we are. I just wanted that comment back. What no one has talked about is that Lord and Miller signed a five-year nine-figure deal with Sony in 2019 to develop live action animated series, including Spider-Verse characters. They only did the after-party noir started filming this year. That is a disaster. I love Lord and Miller's work, but it's where they're. didn't deliver on that deal.
Starting point is 01:33:22 Silk has been in development and canceled twice that the animated female Spider-verse film announced 2018 that went nowhere in the Spider-Woman film announced last year. Oh, yeah, is that all in the can now? Now that... Sony stuff? I mean, Lord and Miller
Starting point is 01:33:36 are geniuses, first off. Let's get that out of the way. And usually the geniuses in a lot of Hollywood productions, they're known to be a little bit you know, they change their minds a lot and they're very strict simultaneously. And we saw what happened with solo.
Starting point is 01:33:52 Very disciplined. Yeah, but they are, they do kind of have a reputation of, like, they're geniuses. And you introduced me to them once, very insanely nice guys as well. They're known to be incredible interacting with their fans. They're known to be really great people overall. And they really want your opinion in a way that I'm not used to with people of that skill. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:34:09 But I'd say, like, I'd say I'm a good person, but everyone here knows I can be pretty intense sometimes when it comes to shit that gets done around here. I can be pretty intense, and I can sometimes not have the right energy. like I shot the podcast recording I wrote my film I was like this is such a great thing
Starting point is 01:34:27 I was like that's what you want to do you want to make it real tense everyone in the room is so tense because I said some shit I was like
Starting point is 01:34:33 because I get it I get it I just shot with Ryan Airy so I wanted to because he's like the other big geek on the internet so I thought it'd be cool
Starting point is 01:34:40 to have you guys like one review with the next one but yeah I'm just saying he's in my next diary of a real reject yeah but right
Starting point is 01:34:46 but right before like the moment before we started filming Greg like had to say a thing and it was like super CEO mode that he was like
Starting point is 01:34:50 Oh, good. Let's go into this and this energy. Believe me, people here are willing to call me out of my behavior, and I have to apologize. I'm good. I am okay with apologizing. I'm not really like, this is my channel. Shut the fuck up. You know, I'm very quick to cooperate. I also know people that work at Lord and Miller, and they've only told me good things. Exactly. So, but Lord and Miller also, they can be very, like, they want to make sure they're getting it right. That's why you get good properties.
Starting point is 01:35:14 So for all we know, a lot of these projects might have fallen through, or maybe they just haven't happened yet. but I don't really know Lord of Miller to be the deadline guys, you know? I don't know them to be it's like you give them a deadline and they'll hit it. I feel like they're gonna make it happen
Starting point is 01:35:26 but they're gonna take their sweet time. Series of shameless name drops out of context or in context, I'm gonna keep the names out of it. Anya does not like celebrity as a concept. She doesn't like people that are celebrities generally because she doesn't like the extra attention.
Starting point is 01:35:37 She doesn't like to deal with us. So I have some friends that she like just opts to not hang out with. Like when we go out, just like who's there? No, I'm good. Like she just doesn't like that kind of vibe. What's really funny is
Starting point is 01:35:48 Chris and Phil were the opposite to the point where she loved talking to them so much that, like, if they're at a thing, she'll be like, oh, yeah, I'll go. Like, they're really warm and kind and pleasant, but they are geniuses that have to get stuff done, so I can see how, depending on your personality, it could get rubbed the wrong way, and I could see suits not liking them. Especially, and depending on perspective of how you are receiving the moment, of how it can be interpreted the wrong way, like, it's really hard when you're dealing with, like, I can't imagine the amount of people they have to, got. guide and lead that I'm sure there's things that happen when you're like that you might be like oh I didn't mean for it to come across that way I've I've offended people plenty of times I'm like oh that's not at all what I'm sorry like I didn't mean that so I can sympathize with that but yes by all accounts everything I've ever heard about them is other great dudes like literally everything I've ever heard about from people who've worked with them or talk with them is that they're great guys so I don't know why things but we also see some of the stuff that comes out so I don't know like movie wise I'd love to see more from them and I don't know what that deal was I mean, yeah, that's true. That's true. I need more food. Aisha Kenya.
Starting point is 01:37:01 Happy holidays, handsome fellows. Please take some time to rest. Shut up. She thinks we're hanging. Shut up, Ayesha. Leave me alone. Ayesha, we want to. Leave me alone.
Starting point is 01:37:11 Where do I rest? Thank you. You know what happened to me, Aisha, last night? What happened? who's three in the morning. I was like, oh, if I get to bed now, I can get seven hours of sleep. The late sick of wake up is 10.
Starting point is 01:37:27 Perfect. That I got so excited about that. I woke you up. I woke you up. I'm so excited to sleep. Oh, no. What have I done? Yeah. That's really funny.
Starting point is 01:37:40 I get all my texts from Greg at 238. By the way, I'm usually, like, settling in to go to sleep, and then I get a barrage of Greg. and I just go, all right, well, I guess I'm not. This is what it's known as an anxiety disorder before. And then I have to get up like seven. So I get up at seven after going to bed for four hours, and I make 20 videos. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:37:58 Damn, it took them 10 months of that first episode of Arcane. If only Coy appreciated that, and I each of know, seriously, thank you. I appreciate you. You're always here. You're always sweet. And I heard people were dicks to you a while ago because there's something that people said here in the live stream. I won't reignite it right now here. I'll fight them right now.
Starting point is 01:38:14 D.C. Cogami, apparently Dynamic Duo is releasing June 30th, 2028. Oh, my God, it's so far from now. Hope I'm alive. That might be when the Batman Part 2 comes out. That seems like such a bold rumor to just be like, that's day! And it's so far away. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:38:30 Maybe it's true. I think Josh Brolin would be a good Batman. I agree. He's so captivatingly grizzled. I think he currently looks like the dark night returns. He does. He's so squabiding. Right.
Starting point is 01:38:45 He's got that, like, brick square. Have you ever met Josh? Little old, no, I've ever seen him or mad at him. Dude, in person, he is alarmingly square. But he does have, like, the old man, Batman look. Like, he is, when people said about Clint, he's, I'm like, oh, no, I don't know, wow. People used to say, they never batting me. I'm like, oh, thank you.
Starting point is 01:39:00 No, dude. But Josh Brolin, he looks like the Dark Night returns Batman. He looks like a Minecraft character. He's square. Yeah, he's got, just like, and he's yoked and he's old and he's grizzled and his voice is awesome. Yeah. He also, like, reads, like, someone that you don't mess with like no matter what circumstance
Starting point is 01:39:15 and you know he would deliver those lines perfectly too yeah he would absolutely deliver those lines perfectly I love that brolin Josh Brolin does look He was out rumored for a Batman for a while I think he'd be perfect I think the Jake Gyllenhaar era him and Jake were like a final contender
Starting point is 01:39:31 Let's type in Josh brawl and Joe wrote He just did it was like this week Yeah yeah Look at that come on this guy He looks like the all he does like look at this shit That's Bruce Wade photo over here of him This guy, like, he just looks like a perfect old man, Batman.
Starting point is 01:39:47 Like, put a cowl over that chin, man. And, like, you could even gray him up a little bit more if you wanted to. If you wanted to. But, yeah, he really... Look at that father to Damien Way. Oh, my God, this image right here. Look at this, like, square... Look at that.
Starting point is 01:39:59 Let me try to lower this image a little bit so people can see. Da-na-na-na-na-na-na-Batman, Brolin. Like, he does. I want it. Come on. I want it real bad. Oh, he's fantastic. Also, he's a crazy person.
Starting point is 01:40:09 I love that, man. His writing is incredible. His book, Josh Brolin's new book. I've only read the first two chapters. It's amazing. He is such a articulate Cormac McCarthy meets Hunter S. Thompson-Ass, American writer. He would be a perfect bad man. Yes.
Starting point is 01:40:27 Okay. I think you wrote our last one. Yeah, you were. Thanks, buddy, there. And then let's check the Super Chats to ensure that are the final. Then we'll close out. A solid calm short. So calm.
Starting point is 01:40:38 Short stream. There's a random 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Maybe if the Super Metro comes out. we could hop on an instant live stream. Those were always crazy. Oh, dude. I love those. Just madness.
Starting point is 01:40:49 I think one of my favorite live streams we've ever done was the Deadpool and Wolverine. The DeVo. Oh, in that announcement? With the suit. Oh, yeah. Like, you gotta come over now. Okay, I'll be right there. Give me 11 minutes.
Starting point is 01:40:58 And it's just like suddenly, like thousands of people here. It was so much fun. That was a really fun one. And not just because of how many people were there. It was just like the spontaneity of it. We were all celebrating a thing. I love celebratory, like, lives. Absolutely.
Starting point is 01:41:10 That was a fun one. Thank you, Smithies. okay cool I just read your comic cream I'm curious Greg Ritchie Brash says Do you have any tips for someone coming into the reaction genre I'm a video editor and the thoughts of dancer on copy around sounds exhausting You're telling me
Starting point is 01:41:25 God Squabble up Fudge I mean Let me just show you we've been doing with the highly anticipated scary movie 5 Everyone is See this? Copyright This is Block
Starting point is 01:41:40 block block block block block like all these those are some of them might delete
Starting point is 01:41:50 just because sometimes if you delete them it doesn't trigger the YouTube people as much it's so yeah there was like six blocks
Starting point is 01:41:57 and I was like oh my God yeah no it is well I don't know what the tips I would give
Starting point is 01:42:03 you is that they're kind of inevitable and sometimes you just got to take the hit which sucks you're trying to do music
Starting point is 01:42:11 I don't ever want to do that because of the copyright okay because I was going to try to cover my favorite albums and I was like should I use any music I thought about producing one for you and John before we talked music a lot yes since you and John's big I think John's the main love is music I think it's funny with Greg's like you've been talking about
Starting point is 01:42:27 Kendrick for 35 minutes yeah yeah like this is a movie podcast like Greg the only time I've seen Greg be like giving notes on a live was like why why are we still talking about Kendrick I'm like this is exciting one time um yeah no i i i think that would be fun um maybe maybe john can handle it richie brash i'm curious
Starting point is 01:42:48 gregg okay so i don't know i mean you i don't think you want to like obsessed okay you're a video editor well generally the rule of thumb this is what i find so funny i get it if we happen to miss a line well we usually catch like 99% of them all right but use but when they people are like you just keep talking throughout the whole movie we're talking over the whole movie I'm like the runtime with this movie is two and a half hours
Starting point is 01:43:16 the reaction is 40 minutes perhaps you're well did we talk over the whole movie because maybe we are just only using the seconds we can use to support the comment that we make it so yeah usually it's like some studios it depends
Starting point is 01:43:32 sometimes if it's like a brand new release you got some insights here is if it's like a brand new universal movie normally it's like you've got to crop in small and it got to be like five to seven seconds long and universal owns a lot of music rights which is what I'm learning 90% of our copyright problems are universal yeah we got a lot they just come in every day and yeah but I would 8 to 10 seconds try to get software to dialogue isolate which sometimes doesn't sound great but it's usually music is the main thing that's the biggest pain in the ass unfortunately but more importantly when it comes down to everything this is something i was talking with jasmine about recently is look we can do all the algorithm talk we want in the world like as someone has to manage the numbers the business and all this stuff we do talk about algorithm all we want and i get caught up in it too like oh algorithm title maybe it's this maybe it's that maybe i need to this maybe that and then 90% of the time what i end up coming back to is oh wait a minute
Starting point is 01:44:35 I just need to get back in tune with loving filming. I need to get back in tune with loving, with enjoying the gig of the actual filming because this is the end of the day. Being on camera is the foundation of everything else. That takes up way more time at work. This is the foundation of it all. So, yeah, this, and I think live streams helps ignite that.
Starting point is 01:44:57 Yeah, it reminds me why. And that, why, to fill in the blank here. Like, it reminds me why this, why that? Like, it does remind me why we do this. Yeah. Spidey Sense 72 Haven't seen Craving
Starting point is 01:45:08 yet to explain in the movie why you're going to be the character's very different in the movie
Starting point is 01:45:13 so it is kind of explained it's a very different take on the character but that is a very funny question
Starting point is 01:45:17 it is adjacent explained through context I want to watch I'm very curious what you think
Starting point is 01:45:23 you're going to react maybe you got a while and will it do numbers all right the last one's
Starting point is 01:45:31 here for sure okay see michael t i'm welcome in the middle four episode reunions in the works of disney no way oh my god i love that show they've been really talking about it and brian cranson has been talking about it for a while um o g cast is set to return did you see that thing that going around frankie munis i think it was on the there's a jackass guy who's a recover his uh stevo stevo yeah he's got a decent podcast i've seen i've seen the whole show i mean usually when people like go through recovery and stuff they
Starting point is 01:45:58 become a lot more introspective and stuff you know yeah yeah And he was saying that, like, Brian Cranston, Frankie Munoz was saying Brian Cranston still hits him up at least like once a month or something. Like they're so connected. I love how paternal Brian Cranston is to like Frankie Munez, Aaron Paul. Like he just seems like the dad of people. If I could find the photos, they once filmed, my dad knew the AD of the show.
Starting point is 01:46:22 And so they let, they negotiated to have them use our neighborhood to film an episode. And Frankie Munez's dressing room was my bedroom. no way oh that's awesome walk through my hoarder house that's so funny I did like a stupid like two minute camera interview that my dad forced me to do it
Starting point is 01:46:40 oh that's so awkward as shit and I got to meet Brian Cranston it's one of my favorite shows so yeah it was really cool to this day one of my favorite shows that and my name is Earl are pretty formative to my young sitcom love I haven't seen my name is Earl
Starting point is 01:46:51 oh it's exceptional wow so you kind of grew up on the single camera oh but you still say friends it's like your favorite yeah friends is my all time favorite sitcom but yeah and I got to do the only reunion for my name is Earl at a, we did a con and my name is Earl was canceled a season
Starting point is 01:47:04 before they had written an ending, like they were supposed to get at least one more season, and new suits came in and they didn't let them film the final season, and I got to hear what the original ending was going to be, and we got to like do scenes basically writing out the ending of my name is Earl. I got to literally fix a childhood wound. It's cool.
Starting point is 01:47:21 Diego Guevara, can we ask Koi why he blocks people who wanted to have an actual discussion of disagreement, me, and it's actual insult pricks to rage bait. He does interact. I actually have an answer for that. Okay. I have two answers.
Starting point is 01:47:32 Hold on. I think we should just block him. Okay, do it. Two answers. One, I... Fuck, Diego Gavera. He's in our streams all the time. Well, no, I don't care about that.
Starting point is 01:47:43 The point is, like, I don't care who you are. I don't care what your context is. If I read something that I didn't like, I have the right to block you because we aren't made to be interacting with this many people. If you said something and I don't want to deal with someone who would or could say something like that, that's it. And interacting with in cells and stuff, I usually do to grow myself. social media. I don't do it because I care about their opinion. I do it because it causes
Starting point is 01:48:04 more clicks and causes things to grow. I do it a lot less because it's not worth the mental bandwidth. But when I need followers quickly, I'll engage with idiots because I always have idiots coming at me constantly. Like if I open an app, I guarantee you I could find something stupid from the last 48 hours. I do it when I need social media growth. When I block people, it's because I don't care about your opinion. So I just am done with you. And that's not an insult to you specifically. It's anyone. I have more blocks than follows by a lot. I just, we aren't made to be around this many people. We aren't made to have this many people
Starting point is 01:48:33 have access to us. I don't want people to have access to me, so I block you. And I'm sorry, ish. Wow. Wow. That would hurt to receive those words. I hope he has a support number
Starting point is 01:48:46 that isn't strangers. Like, I don't know this person. Like, he doesn't know me. Do you know what I mean? Well, I'm not blocking you because you're always nice. And you, and this is the way to my heart. Money. A super challenge.
Starting point is 01:48:59 And I hope. whatever you said was worth the block well you know I'm blocked by who I tell you Tyrone Magnus no way yeah it was weird
Starting point is 01:49:10 as I sent him a text before I knew this I was like hey man it's been a while I just want to say it's been like over a year I just want to see how you're doing and then I hadn't heard from him yeah
Starting point is 01:49:19 and then I was like I wonder who's up to so I went to a social room I'm like what real rejects is blocked I was like he blocked me and I went to my personal Instagram I mean Twitter
Starting point is 01:49:29 he blocked me I'm both, I'm like, wow. Like, I know I make jokes, but I feel like I'm one of the few guys who's been like kind of going to bat for you. When I asked about him, remember that was that time? I was like, I don't know who he is, who is he? Yeah, I'm like, is this something
Starting point is 01:49:43 Coy might have said her. I went to look at who he was as a person because people kept mentioning him, so I was like, let me check out his page. I was already blocked. Yeah, I don't know what I said. I don't know. I kind of wish if you're going to block.
Starting point is 01:49:54 I've had many falling out to my life. I don't like them. I hate them, honestly. I really do. but I'd always rather a conversation. See, I don't have time to engage with people that just say something. Like, if you walk up to me in the public and said something, that was like something I'd block you for.
Starting point is 01:50:08 I'd hit you. And online, I block. Do you know what I mean, though? Like, if you're going to say something that callous behind the cowardice of the internet, I'm going to block you. Do you know what I mean? Like, it just, people don't say this stuff in person because they'll get hit. So my way of getting rid of them is to block them.
Starting point is 01:50:24 Yeah. It's literally, there is no, we just invented the internet 20 years. ago. We have not evolved. Our gray matter is not ready for the sheer volume of people were supposed to be around. Oh, it is so. It's not health. It is very unnatural. Like, there's the 100 monkeys theory. There's all these concepts of the bandwidth. We can even remember names. We aren't meant to be exposed to 1.3 million people right now. I'm a block you and I'm not going to deal with that. Like, I think that's healthy. So I don't, I don't feel bad. Yeah, it's tough. You know, especially when you really like, you really step out and
Starting point is 01:50:54 think about the reality of the numbers. Like, when I think about the overhead here, I prefer not to think about the overhead, but as someone who grew up who lost their home when I had a financial, got foreclosed to the bank, bankruptcy, when I think about the financial cost of what it takes to run this channel with everyone, I'm like, oh, I don't think about it too much. Yeah, it's overwhelming. It's crazy. They want to freak out.
Starting point is 01:51:18 Just keep moving. That's what I mean. I block and keep moving. What's, my favorite person that blocked me is, what's his name, the Larry the Cable? So something we're not making. It's failing on a show. I'm like, I'm sorry, but I'm not going to tell you how much he goes, but man, is it more than you imagine. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:51:35 Larry the cable guy blocked me. That's my favorite block. Because a conversation was had under one of my posts that I didn't even engage with, and he blocked everyone in it. And I was like, oh, I'm a cable guy. I lost the tow truck from cars. But again, I don't remember what anyone says when I blocked them because I just, that's how I removed the equation. So I've blocked, I know, I've got probably like 800, 900 people blocked. gosh yeah
Starting point is 01:51:56 so I'm sorry if you're a fan of rejects I just don't really know we're well Diego you know who's not going to block you John John will probably internalize what you say and it'll fester I'll be really sad I probably did do something
Starting point is 01:52:12 John will blame himself John we love you I hope you're watching I hope you're watching but you know that's what you would do and if you heard this John you'd be like I'm going to internalize that's fair I probably John is so good.
Starting point is 01:52:25 Like he would actually, yeah, he's a good person. The warm human thing. Real struggle there, the goodness of John. I love the secret life of Walter Media. I haven't seen it since theaters, though, but I remember loving it. It's been however many years, but I really loved it at the time. Oh, oh, Dan, I was just literally on this page about to turn it off, and you just got, you got to do with your first super chat to shout out the great Tara Erickson. Ring the up.
Starting point is 01:52:51 I don't remember when she started doing that. we used to not know how to work with Tara everyone here has that problem the first time they work with Tara. How to navigate the Tara? Especially when she's leading a video. Oh yeah. If she leads the video, people have a hard time figuring out like... Where do that get in? Because you're just
Starting point is 01:53:06 like talking with Tara, she's like, yeah, uh-huh, uh-huh. And you're like, well, is she said some wrong? That used to not know at all, because then she goes into like her bits and it took me forever to figure out how to work with her. Realizing her bits are bits took me a while. Yeah. Realizing that it's like a thing she's doing, I was like,
Starting point is 01:53:22 this is like avant-garde comedy oh my god raccoon shampoo haven't seen your name forever how it goes in it is we covered it all and then we got up talking about life and that's why our podcast is going to be called thrills and shills and shills is so funny that is a really good title is a very good title i really like especially because like they will get more out of our podcast with that title like they'll understand the context it's a perfect title though is yeah and there's like this is this youtube channel that constantly clips this out and calls like shills real reading and this stuff and it's like what their whole thing is and I'm always like how sad that's like there's some grizzle dude that like there's another channel like that too it's like yeah what a what a weird thing because like you actually need us to make content I always I always share the ironic part
Starting point is 01:54:05 like you actually need us to do that because that's what's doing well for you so this like what if we stop eating that what the fuck would you do my favorite thing is watching their numbers and how bad they are until I share their videos and watching it skyrocket because I know I'm like causing them money like I like sharing the clip out videos because like editing take so long. That means these people see my face more than I do. Editing. So like I love the haters, man. But I love being able to block.
Starting point is 01:54:29 I would like to figure this out where it can be like us on frame primarily. Thank you, 7TGF. Also great name. Did you hear about the 30th anniversary of 7 getting re-released to remaster in 4K in theaters in January? Is it going to be excited? Yeah, boy. Love 7. Oh my God. It's going to be so big.
Starting point is 01:54:47 What's in the box? It's going to be so big. I was too young to see it in theaters. So it's my first theaters. It's going to be so big. There we go. And then, yeah. Are we been this red this whole time? It just looks that way on our OBS.
Starting point is 01:55:01 Okay, because my eyes are very vibrant. There's a bit of Katie Sackoff, I've got five to terror. Anyway, guys, all right, we're going to get here for, um, here's what I'm going to do. What are you going to do? So everyone knows, we're going to speed round the end of this stream. What are we doing? What should I set the timer too, Coy? Once it goes off, we have to end.
Starting point is 01:55:19 How many? Would you have a goal? anywhere from one to three minutes what do you want two three i like three is a fun number are we doing as many of these as we came in three minutes yeah so i'm going to set the timer and three two one three minutes any next to strange darling's amazing i'm so glad you enjoyed it the director of that movie said i was the first person to have the assessment of the ending that they wanted to make and i was the most flattered i've been on twitter in a very long time i gotta say just lobo's in the chat is saying um that rumor is sergeant rock movie which is what he brought it up because we had the privilege of watching it in advance and then I was like, pro, Sergeant Rock. He's like, he was so much crap for the video of like, who cares about Sergeant Rock? I'm like, I do. And then he sends me a text like two days later.
Starting point is 01:56:00 He's like, look what just got announced. I was so proud of that. I was like, oh, who cares about Sergeant Rock? Who does America? Boston to another, you're a wicket cool guy. Thank you, C. Michael T. Love you too, Charlie. Let's see here.
Starting point is 01:56:15 Breakdown New Rockstars just ended their stream. Well, you should have been here instead. She should have been here way better. Way better. Honest thoughts on creature commander now. It's great and it's only going to get better. We've seen more than a lot of other people, fortunately, because we're very privileged that way.
Starting point is 01:56:29 So, yeah, it's just going to get better. I believe our favorite episode is next week. Yes. Yeah. Today is, what is it? I don't think it peaks, but it's the next year. Yeah, yeah, yeah. James is going to said,
Starting point is 01:56:39 okay, if it's the, James is going to say the weasel episode. Yes, it is a sensation. And I think that is the weasel episode. It's so very good. Yeah, and that is a phenomenal episode. NASFratu, I do think, is the best hard movie of the year. One of the best movies of the year. I loved it quite a bit.
Starting point is 01:56:53 A bluer suit in Part 2? No, no, no, no. I don't think you should. I think blue and gray is going to go DCU. D.C.U. Absolutely. A thousand percent. Stay greedy, Patton. That's the whole point. Way to go. Kenson. I greatly appreciate that.
Starting point is 01:57:04 Boy, boys. Much love, Kenson. How much do you wait? I don't know. I actually haven't been here in my protein count the past couple days. I'm a little too heavy. I'm about eight pounds heavier than I like to be at my fattest, and I'm about 12 pounds heavier than I like to be at my leanest. I am currently 182.
Starting point is 01:57:21 I have really bad gut health. I actually went to go see someone. Oh, yeah, you said you're going to do that. That is the thing. It's like, they're talking about the health and everything. It's like every part of me slimming down and thin, but my gut,
Starting point is 01:57:30 I even saw someone for like an hour who was like working on my stomach. Dude. Yeah, I got a bad gut. And it is like the specific vegan, vegetarian that I'm on. Do you prebiotic, probiotic? What are you doing?
Starting point is 01:57:39 Beyond that, it's like the, it really stood out to me when you talked about processed foods. Yeah, I started looking up like, what are like the healthier alternative? it was like a sort of getting good than what I'm taking because you couldn't pronounce
Starting point is 01:57:49 anything you were eating I'm hitting protein counts at all but I'm like but what is in that's making this yeah because your body's like rendering rendering like a bad computer so it's only been like a week
Starting point is 01:57:58 but I'm feeling a little better but yeah but it is hard to hit the protein count now that I'm trying to be healthy that is the whole thing I've lost five pounds I'm trying to lose another 12 School of Rock
Starting point is 01:58:08 yes are we supposed to be doing the reaction to that I cannot wait yeah it's been on the schedule forever I saw that in theaters when I was like 12 yeah I don't think I've seen it So that, and I love Linklater, on my favorite directors.
