We all need someone to make us believe.

this week's videos are sponsored by prize picks the easy to use fantasy sports betting app more on them and just a bit ladies gentlemen it's been kind of a crazy day today and now we have a limited time but we are going to cover cinema con we are going to talk all about it coy thanks for being here coy was at cinema con up until the day of thursday which is the disney day i've kept up with some of it obviously we saw the superman trailer because we were supposed to shoot this earlier but we had to cover the superman truck because this trailer we got to do this is a big one is and it's a
And John, right now in the moment of film, this is slamming you to that thumbnail.
Thanks, John.
Anywho, let's react to some CinemaCon news together, guys.
Yeah.
Now, I thought, since we are on a bit of a time crunch, I immediately thought, here's
an efficient way we're going to do this.
Okay.
I have scrolled to the discussing film Twitter page, and on that Twitter page, I have went
down to March 31st.
And so whenever a news story pops up from CinemaCon, that sounds of interest, we can go
into it.
You were there for some of the panels.
You weren't there for the Disney one.
So I wanted to be here, and I know we needed to shoot this today,
which you shoot it because this goes up Friday morning.
So I left at 2 a.m. after doing work until 1 a.m.
I drove back and arrived at 6.30 a.m., naped, followed the Paramount panel here,
and then covered Disney panel via the Internet.
So I'm a bit manic, underslept, but ready.
Because I wanted to make sure we did CinemaCon here at Reject Nation.
Then perfect.
We're both.
a very similar headspace in her own ways i slept four hours a night the last five nights we'll see how
this goes cool yay this is going to be a fun one then okay before we start going through the twitter
pages why don't we get the big ones out of the way sure um obviously i think okay the big one spider
man four i was in the room where it happened it was cool you were in the room when it happened
yeah like like they the brand new day presentation but it was like it was special to feel the energy
of the room like it's like a crackle um what i briefly before i talk about the spider man of
all. What I love about cinema con is that it is an entire room of people only there to celebrate
the movie theater, which is even arguably more specific than Comic Con. Because Comic Con has
become like pop culture con. Like comics are a factor. Comic movies are obviously a factor. But
the bigger Comic Con gets by its nature, it has to be more like for everyone. CinemaCon is
about the exhibitor. So studios come out and they go, hey, all of the people that make this possible,
thank you. Here is what's this to come. Put more theaters of this movie. Here's the best of this.
But in between everything, there's a little like vignette documentary segments of like this couple in Montana that have been in the movie industry for three generations and this man that married into this wife who never wanted to work in the movies, but now they love it together and they got this theater in Montana that people drive 50 miles to.
So you've got all these big presentations from studios talking to the exhibitor.
But then you've got like these small exhibitor stories.
So it feels simultaneously like a mom and pop and a giant conglomerate experience.
and it reminds me of when art can actually be show and business.
So I love the energy of the room more than almost anywhere else in the world.
Wow.
So I wanted to give that credit for the Spider-Man moment, the specificity of it was Sony kicked off everything on Thursday.
Like Sony was the big first thing.
So it was this amazing moment of like we're all there to celebrate not just movies, but the act of seeing movies communally.
And Sony got to kick it off with, you know, arguably I think the biggest announcement is, you know, brand-new day.
huge moment because if you've read the comic, you know what that means. They got to finally
confirm the release date for Spider-Verse, but they also had so many other things leading up
to that, that, that, it felt like a rock show. It was just so cool to be celebrating it with all
of the spectacle and all of the stuff, and then little blitz of like, oh, and then this. So
brand-new day was awesome because Tom Holland is filming in Greece. He's on The Odyssey, so we just
zoomed in. Daniel Destin-Cretton, no, sorry, Destin Daniel Cretton came out and made a bunch of
jokes about, you know, losing money in Vegas and, uh, but his kid, he was describing his
child who's been there, you know, he's like one year old. His whole life has been, his child's whole
life has been while he's been developing Spider-Man. So his son's first word is Netteman. And he,
he recognizes the red and blue of Spider-Man and just has the sound. So his first word is Spider-Man
because that's what he's been so focused on. So to hear something so heartfelt and then to see
Tom who loves this character and to feel the importance of this to the director and to Tom. And the
whole thing. I love that I think what they're doing is, is leaking false information at all
times. And I love that. We have so much of this, like, it's going to be multiverse. It's
going to be grounded. It's going to be blah, blah, blah. And then now we finally have some actual
facts. I think after No Way Home, they've started being like, tell this outlet, it's actually
this. And then like, and see if it actually gets out. Because everything that brand new day is,
is very different. That comic is, that comic is intended to change the status quo in the exact same way
the movie's about to.
In brief, Marvel Comics had had multiple Spider-Man comics running since 1978, up until
brand-new day, when they consolidated all their storylines into one amazing Spider-Man title,
and they narrowed everything down into the comic came out three times a month, so almost
weekly at a new Spider-Man comic, but it was one storyline.
And this brand-new day story ran 102 issues, but what it did was, it made Spider-Man more
like Living a Top Mayor with a roommate again.
Harry Osborne came back in the picture, down on his luck, Parker luck,
but it was at the cost of the Mary Jane relationship.
One more day was Peter making a deal with the devil,
so he could save some people, but it cost him.
What the devil wanted was his true love.
So that mean they had to split up.
Very similarly, and No Way Home, Dr. Strange,
forgetting remunce was the perfect place to pick up,
but it also implies a much more grounded Spider-Man.
So to me, I think we're going to get our cake and eat it too
and actually have a pretty grounded spidey.
And Destin Daniel Cretton's choreography and style
and all the shung-chee stuff just those three words say an insane amount is what i'm saying i think they say
i think they say more than people give it credit for yeah because yeah it's straight and away from the
home title but one more day was only like four issues it's short-lived and impactful made a difference
and of course no way home took inspirations from it but brand new day like you said was the soft
reboot era of spider-man and you know it's a little controversial for some people some people love it
Some people don't like it, but it is what it is.
And it's following through on the plot from, like, one of my complaints that I kind of
have with the trilogy of the home trilogy is that they often have like an ending and then the
setup of the next movie is so briefly lived or not really following through that strong
on it.
You know, like one of the go-to examples for me is like Aunt May in Homecoming to Far From Home.
Yeah.
How the end of Homecoming is, what the, you know?
And then the next movie, she's like, oh, right.
Like who? Yeah. And that's about it. There's not really much stakes to it. And while you could say no way home does it more than far with the events at the ending of far from home, it's not really about Spider-Man being on the run. He's not even really that much of a fugitive in that movie. He goes back to school.
Right. Everything's just as it was. And you don't see the trial. Pretty much. Yeah. But he's kind of like bummed out and like, I want to raise my identity. It's a little hard. You know, it doesn't feel like there's a lot at stake. Weren't like one more day. Like, Aunt May's die.
And he's like fighting with Tony and getting his like whole fisticuffs with it.
Like there's a lot at stake with it.
And this is the first Spider-Man movie where they're doing.
And out of, I mean, not even Mark Webb, not even Aramey.
This is the first Spider-Man movie where they're taking the exact title of a comic book.
Yeah.
Marvel is known to do loose adaptations of their stuff.
One More Day is an extremely loose adaptation of one more.
If anything, it feels like they got an idea from that.
But it's not even really an adaptation.
This might be the first case where.
we're getting a bit of an actual adaptation could be of a very popular line and with sadie sink it immediately had me go to the character of jackpot which was introduced in brand new day and won't spoil stuff because that's a big part of the journey i think though that it would make sense for her especially when you see how people were going is she playing i'm trying to be really careful my words here as to not spoil it when they when people are like is she playing mary jane is she playing mary jane is she playing mary jane is she playing mary jane
they already have a Mary Jane and Jackpot says things like Tiger yeah and you know you see her and
I feel like it would be a good mislead for that jackpot may not be as known a well known of a
character but it makes more sense than like a Jean Grey to do I think she might be Carly Cooper
oh really just because historically it's funny because Bryce Dallas Howard you know iconic redhead
turned blonde Gwen Stacy Kirsten Dunst Blonde turn redhead for Toby what if they cast a redhead and brunette
girlie gooper but like i think energy wise very much like the new love interest the cute girl
next door energy like that i can see uh i i think jackpot is a very tricky i don't love the
character of jackpot i don't want to give anything away either but i think jackpot would be a very
difficult to land um with the context of where they leave off things but you're right she is introduced
there and we've got this character sadie sick and it's like well one plus one might be too uh but i
think brand new day like the impact is really exciting chameleon becomes a
big part of brand new day
something tells me they
would steer away from that we can't just
make this a Spider-Man podcast there's so much to go through
but I will say that the
chameleon because he was in Craven
the Hunter I kind of feel like they'll
steer away from having it. Even though
he's I think it could make more sense for
it to be like Mr. Lee. Yeah I
think yeah Mr. Negative is probably likely do you want to
see what other new? I know it's so easy a
con of this one piece of information though we just talk
about Spider-Man this whole time. All right so do you want to
go like chronologically by the studio by
day. Do you want to go by like the biggest things? I've seen it all. So I don't know how you want to
like steer this. Let's go chronologically. I'll start scrolling through here. Okay. Whenever we
land on something that sounds of interest, I'll be like, hey, maybe we can talk about that because
there's a bunch of it. It was four days. We cannot do this one hour. So whatever you think next.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, Nathan Phelian's going to be returning his guy Garner. Yes. That's exciting.
Yeah. I thought he was a dead guy in Superman. Because of lanterns. Yeah. They also, if that new Superman
footage they added him to the fight in the background
I don't know if you caught that oh they did so
when that big orbs in the background it didn't used to have
this green beam that comes in and I'm I put money
on that being guy Gardner wow
okay Sydney Sweeney's and talks
the star in the Gundam movie crazy
sounds like they're headed down to
Transformers path
sure Sidney's what's this generation
Sydney's gonna open the hood
the Gundam wing movie she's gonna open a Gundam hood
and be like hey you know
there might not be enough appeal but we put
Sidney sweetie in the Gundam movie sure will
to a market. And I'm someone who likes Sidney
Sweetie quite a bit actually. I saw
her at CinemaCon. Oh, Beyond the Spider-Verse.
Of course. Dude. Dude. Well, you said
not everything Spider-Man. I know, but damn. I forgot
about Beyond the Spider-Verse. Got a release day, June
4th, 2027, and I got to see a mere few frames
of new footage. They showed a montage. There was some new stuff
in there. So is it this four, uh, four little
there's like six, but yeah, that's four of the six.
Okay, cool. There's a prowler shot that has
prowler and Miles in the background. That's really dope.
Really? Um, and then the overall
energy was so
frenetic and awesome. They talked, the guys came out
or Chris Miller came out with the two directors
and talked about having the goal
to innovate to the same scale the first two
did. And they said, you know, that we really tried
to elevate and innovate between one and two.
We want to bring you the same thing for the third.
You know, it's taken a little while, but I
I am team, I'm team
the first two are five star films. It can take 20
years. I want this to be as amazing as it
needs to be. It's one of those films
where the ending of it is so
much like this story is not complete until we
get the next one. It really feels that way
like it's a part one and part two. Yet
I will wait for part two for as long
as it takes. I do not want a masterpiece
rushed. No, no. And I, like,
I've even heard some people debate of can't they
start implementing some AI into here? I'm like, that would
ruin it. It would ruin it.
Literally like the, it's about art being
celebrated. I don't want robots that have no
souls trying to give me soulful art. Yeah.
Other than that, I mean, the, oh, that's the image
here of Miles and probably looking at each other. Oh, that's a gorgeous
image. I must made my phone background and I was like, no. I mean, this is
prowler that we end with, right? Oh, so it's Miles versus Miles. That's my favorite image.
It's going to be a real confrontation between oneself there. And I believe also dealing with
the father element because like one of them has a father one doesn't. So like the nature nurture and
man v. Man and Man v. Self. It's doing all the man vs. And the day and A's where we used to be
patient for sequels and now we've grown really impatient. I feel like this will be a huge hit regardless.
I'm okay with it. Like I said, I'd wait 20 years. I'm glad it's only five. Although it is kind of weird.
how they were like next year.
And it's been like three years now?
I have a crazy theory.
I think they had no release date.
Someone just put it the same.
Like they just scribbled one in and then it accidentally got leaked and then they said it was
that.
Like I don't think they ever intended it for it to come out six months later.
It wasn't,
they hadn't recorded voice work on it when it was supposed to be out.
Like there's no way you mess up a schedule to the scale of like we haven't started.
It's supposed to be finished.
Like that doesn't seem possible.
Do you know what I mean?
Like Sony has historically had leaks and had hacks and all those things.
I just feel like they were like TBD.
And then suddenly it was like out next week.
What?
Yeah.
Okay, Zach Krieger would Resident Evil says his film will focus on one central protagonist.
Oh, that gets me so happy.
Going on a point A to B, slowly falling to more hellish territory.
Resident Evil is an incredibly cinematic game.
And have you played it?
Yeah.
First three?
I don't know how to describe it.
Maybe you'll do a better job than me.
But I've always wanted to see an adaptation of it in the way it's shot where you walk into a frame.
Yeah.
You'd like, there'll be a shot here.
You can hear a zombie, the other shot, and you walk into that shot.
It's a constant walking into shots.
Yeah.
I think that would be a very unique way to capture it.
But the fact that he's talking about zeroing it in and making it solo, this is the first time I'm actually hearing about this, making it solo, going into more hellish territory.
He's actually understanding the horror behind it.
And he's a horror director.
He's understanding the horror behind it and not solely the action that it is.
And there's another film he's got called Weapons, that it was another day.
And that looked so scary that I might skip it out of fear.
Like I loved Barbarian and it was at an event that he was at and I got to talk to him briefly.
And he had just started working on Resident Evil and I was so excited that anyone was even as passionate as him.
And then he came out and gave the speech and he was so impassioned and had the exact right things to say.
It felt like when you're at a comic store or a video game store and someone's like, you know, if I was going to make a movie, I would just,
and then I was like, but a real director.
It felt like a fan that just happened to be an impossibly talented director saying all the right things.
Oh, my God.
Freddie Prince Jr. is returning for I know what you did last summer?
And so is Sir Michelle Gellier.
What?
No, sorry, Jennifer Love Hewitt.
Oh, not his wife.
Because I was like, doesn't one of them die?
Yeah.
Jennifer Love Hew was in the trailer.
What was you?
Oh, there was a trailer?
Yeah.
It was awesome.
Yeah, they played a trailer and it looks insane.
Damn, it's right around the quarter, July 18th.
Yeah, this, dude, this summer is insane.
It's the week after Superman.
Wow.
To West, Wes Craven did that, right?
I believe.
I know he did the scream.
I don't know if he did.
I know he did last summer.
Do you want to know what you did last time or Johnny?
I think you're thinking of Kevin Williamson on that one.
Oh, is he coming back?
He's coming back for scream.
Doesn't matter.
Doesn't matter.
But the footage was great.
Jennifer Love Hewitt got the one of a giant pop in the room and she like, there was a turnaround reveal.
And we were all like, oh!
That's insane.
It was the hell has she been.
I was watching Heartbreakers on TBS at the gym the other day.
As you do.
And I was like, damn, I forgot about how Jennifer Love Hewitt was so Jennifer Love Hewitt.
Yeah.
For 10 years, she just ran the game.
Like, she just,
was the woman of the hour.
Holy shit.
Yeah.
It's kind of the tuxedo.
This was my jam.
Corona.
The tuxedo.
You guys have seen it right.
Jackie Chan,
he gets his tuxedo.
He does his own stunts,
but he's not doing his own stunts in that movie.
Tuxedo.
Jake Casson,
there's Jumangi 3 announced.
Yep.
All right.
Man,
there's so many announcements.
The thing about this was like,
I saw a folly because it was too much to keep up with.
That's why I'm like,
I don't know how to help four days worth of like what I've seen.
Okay, the Beatles,
a biopic.
Do they show any footage of this?
Okay.
Do you know anything?
Don't read further.
Don't read further.
Look at me.
The Beatles.
Barry Keogans Ringo.
Oh, that must make you so happy.
I'm ecstatic.
You're so happy.
Harry Dickinson or Henry Dickens.
The dude from the Nicole Kidman, you know,
raunchy times movie.
Harris Dickinson.
Harris, I had the two names around Harris.
Harris Dickinson is John Lennon.
Okay.
What's the, give me another white boy.
Paul.
Paul McCartney is played by Paul Muscal.
Oh shit.
Give me another hint.
George.
George is played by Joseph Quinn.
But here's-
Oh, fuck, you're right.
I was totally joking.
I was like, what other current?
No way.
The four internet boyfriends.
All right.
Here's the twist, Greg.
Don't read.
Don't read.
Oh, okay.
It comes out, 2028.
But guess what?
It comes out April of 2028.
And it's not a Beatles movie.
it's four Beatles movies following each one of the Beatles
and they all come out the same day
we get our first binge model theatrical experience
four complete theatrical movies from each perspective
of a beetle in one day
really what is it gonna do to cinema
every internet boy mendez did you know about this
yes actually I know a lot about this now I did not know that
oh yeah I've been following this how is that possible
they're filming and like it's gonna be like
Magnolia on crack like all these stories interweaving but it's Beatles starring all the internet's
boyfriends out in one day. Is it in the theaters? Yeah. They're trying to make bingeable
they're trying to find ways to bring the theater back to scale and they want to release four
movies in one day. I don't know how I feel about that. I like experiments. I think if it I want
people in the movie. Okay. So I'm going to go watch the George Harrison movie. Then I'm going to
walk into the theater for the Ringo Star one. Let me tell you what happens at the end of the
George Harrison movie. I'm going to spoil it for
everyone. I imagine it all culminates on like a big
concert or something that'll like you know, like interweave.
What's the culmination movie?
The Beatles? No, I don't think there's one.
It's four separate movies. No, the fifth movie
will be the Yoko movie. The Dispantzor.
John
with the mic drop. Nicely
done. Isn't that insane?
I wanted to, sorry for yelling
to the mic, everyone, but I was so excited about that
announcement because they came out on stage one at a time and then
he announced four separate movies.
I can't believe Paul
is paul mcardi gladiator two happening here that's weird yeah dude i'm stoked i was totally joking about
joseph quince there they're like uh internet white boy he's just one of those guys now who's gonna be
casted everything for a while he's like however how whatever people say patro pascal's in something
people go he's in everything he's not the second they hear his name though he's in everything i'm
i'm i'm starting to see that with joseph quinn now he's in everything all right what else have we got here
28 years later
Dude, the footage is crazy
And there's a twist
What?
28 years later isn't one movie
It's a trilogy
Oh yes, I heard about this
Written by Alex Carlin
Murphy's coming in
Yeah, Alex Carlin wrote all three
No way
The first one directed by Danny Boyle
The second one directed by Nia da Costa
The third one gets made
If they make enough money
Oh really?
Is that what they said?
So December we get 28 years later
January 28 years later
Bone or something
There's a slow to roll
What did you just tell me, December you get 20?
I thought you get it in the summer.
Is it summer?
I thought this summer.
They wouldn't release them two a month apart, would they?
I've never made a trilogy, greenlit two of them before.
June 20th for the first one.
And then January, I believe, is bone temple.
And then January 16th for Bone Temple.
So six months apart.
We've only just begun and I'm overwhelmed with information.
Imagine being there?
It was so much.
Oh, God.
And then I was going to Cirque shows at night.
Vegas is crazy.
Whoa.
So they just threw up.
all this at you. So we get two 28 years
later within six months and then a third
one happens if they do well. Danny Boyle,
Nia da Costa. I'm so excited. All three written
by Alex Garland. So I get to see an Alex
Garland, Danny Boyle joint and an ex-caron,
the Nia da Costa joint. This is what they
meant by all four Beatles
biopics.
That's the craziest piece of
information. Nothing will
top that for me. I,
we could have started with that. I would have been
like, and shows over guys. Yeah, nothing
will top that for me. When they came out on stage, one at a time,
and then they were like each gets like it was it was the craziest moment of like i don't even know
how to comprehend four movies at one we're going to go to the theater for like nine hours
i hope there's like a bundle ticket how do you not yet i mean it's like when so much emphasis
is put on opening weekend you position yourself to at least have one of those be like kind of
flopped and then one of those beetles is going to look real bad it's going to be wringo but
barry's playing them so maybe not i think it'll be poor george no
I mean, yeah, George is like the least popular one of them, right?
The Harris Dickinson's very popular.
And he's playing John Lennon, though, you know.
Oh, you're right.
That's the one that's going to.
And the most popular one.
Yeah.
Or Palm,
Paul McCartney and Paul McCartigan.
It's a crazy thing.
We got to move on.
I don't know what we're going to do with ourselves.
That was just Sony.
That was insane.
Okay.
I told you Sony like opened the gates.
It was a crazy opening day.
Okay.
this was the new hunger games movie uh so francis lawrence came out and uh this was the back yeah you're not
like francis lawrence that was a that was a that was a real dejected i mean come on do something else man
free francis law like what are you doing dude don't you have like more variety left in you
he's a big chuck pollinick fan i've always wanted i'm saying this as if like he doesn't make
good hunger games yeah i i even like though the one with uh you know the snow white whatever
people the most recent one i thought yeah i thought that was actually pretty good
brilliant commentary and so many things i i don't know why my my mind
Francis Lawrence doing what he does.
Felt about David Yates, you know, doing continuing Harry Potter movies.
Very similar.
It is similar where it's, I'm like, I know.
You didn't get into directing to direct the Hunger Games.
But you make a lot of money to direct him good.
Yeah, and maybe he does other stuff that other people don't see.
So Francis Lawrence came out and was talking about the book and said how like much darker
it was and how it's been really hard to navigate like making something with a protagonist
in the same way that's this heavy of a book.
And then we all got the book.
They gave us like all copies of the new Hunger Games book, which is really like, I've never had a studio be like, actually read. It was really cool when we left. They all get the book. Are you going to be reading it? I read all the original Hunger Games, so I will. I really like that series a lot. Congratulations. You're smart. So the, I can read at least a seventh grade level. Now I am familiar with this piece of information. I'm looking for all of it. And maybe you know it all off the hand. John Wick 5 is happening. Yes. The prequel anime show. Confirmed.
honestly out of all these the one i'm most excited for is the donnie yen movie directed and
starring exactly because donnie yen is directed before and his character kane was a scene
steeler described as a hong kong style action year i expect nothing less very excited about that
little detail donnie yann has done incredible for if if you are of an american audience who has
not actually ventured you look up fight scenes yeah there's fight scenes he's done where they
said let's improv like what
you not killed the man with weapons yeah no it's weird like well improv and recorded yeah like let's see
how this goes the guy's a real martial artist who also understands fight car or fight choreography and yes
he's also a talent as an actor as well uh we got to see eight minutes of ballerina
uh so during all that they like showed us ballerina and then they were like and john wick
universe like it just kept marveling uh but the ballerina footage was crazy because they showed us
a action sequence and it ended at the place an action sequence normally would and we
were all like,
like, it was one of those
chats to Hellskey action secrets
which you're wiped out by it.
And then they came out and they're like,
that was the first third.
We were like,
the hell?
So it's like a 20 minute sequence
and it was a really cool way
to be like, this is just getting started.
It was really violent,
incredible.
It was really cool because it uses
Ananda Armis's like slight frame
as a benefit.
Like it uses how she's going to fight
differently than John.
Good.
And it also, it's not a spoiler
because it's in the footage.
It also makes it really clear
you're getting the comic book style
your protagonist switch.
John Wick becomes the villain.
So it's like the Bobby Yaga is chasing her.
Oh, so he's like antagonistic in her eyes.
Basically, he gets hired to take her out and he's like, I got to do the job.
And like you see the pursuit of John Wick at your protagonist, which is dope.
Because we follow John Wick is like, you know, he's our guy.
But like when he's coming at you, the Bobby Yaga myth feels way scarier when John Wicks is like a jump scare.
So that was cool footage.
And then they actually took us to a John Wick experience, which is the greatest escape room slash gun training I've ever done.
Oh, cool.
They used gun training.
Yeah, dude.
So it was like room after room was deeper into the lore.
Like it started at the Continental.
I thought it was going to stay there.
But then it literally goes into us being on the run from all these people.
And each room is a different thing.
And like there's a cartographer.
There's a suit maker.
There's all this stuff.
And then by the time you get to the end, you're given a weapon.
And it's giant 20 foot screens.
And you're doing precision training with a gun that's like a laser pointed.
And you actually get a score and that determines what room you do next.
It was dope.
That's one of those we've ever done.
Humor me here for a second.
Do you ever feel like they're biting?
off more than they can chew with the John Wick universe because I think part of the appeal of
the lore is the subtlety and the limitation of it when you're in the shoes of Keanu Reeves
is John Wick. It's not really the lore is the most compelling shit in the world. It's the fact
of you're watching John Wick specifically in it and that gets unpacked with him there.
My hot take is I like the first two John Wicks more than the last two because the fourth one's like
my favorite. Everyone's. I like when the
when the juice is about
him navigating gunfoo and counting the bullets and actually having it
by the third one he's like and then the fourth one is like I am God.
Now he's going to be fit and the fifth one he's coming back. The fourth one was my
favorite that it's the fourth one was my favorite that actually had the
lore in it. Yeah. That I personally was like oh this is the first
I'm really truly in love with all of the world building. Whereas
the first one's probably my actually first one's probably still
my favorite movie. It's a gun, a car, and a dog. And it's simple. It's simple. That's what I like about
John Wick. With some lore in there, but it's that, that, that, that limitation that makes
it, um, a gravitational. That's exactly what I'm describing. Yeah. The pencil doesn't work in the
fourth movie. So when they're telling me about John Wick is back and you're doing a prequel
anime movie from the director of Kubo in the two strings. What? All right. Maybe I'm suddenly
interested in this. He's fallen, I mean, after the, he's fallen down too many stairs. Like I've seen the,
an emotional tweet experience yeah yeah for me guys oh the director I really admire I see what's the director's
name Shannon Tyndall it's such a interesting choice yeah I've only seen trailers for
shit goo on the two strings that's such like a family movie yeah it's beautiful though and it's also
stop go animation shouts out to Shannon Tyndall also directed Ultraman rising reached out to
Aaron and I after that video no no way really very sweet guy a guy yeah but I thought it was a lady
I was going to be like, oh, great.
Well, the John Wicksman off of
Kane, I don't know, that fits.
And Kane was the first character
in that, of the supporting characters
where he was a conversation.
Yeah, I agree with that.
But I do think it's, I like the more contained Wick,
and this obviously can't be that at a fifth.
It's like the Fast and Furious.
Like, if they go, I want them to go back
to street racing. I don't think they can.
Yet when you talk about ballerina, you sound excited about it.
But the ballerita looks more like John Wick won.
It looks more like John Wic.
Because it's, it's, and Armis needing to fight, like, men twice her size.
So it's her using her environment.
It's her being inventive.
That's what I liked about Wic.
By the time he's God mode, it's less stakes.
Anandarmas gives it stakes.
I mean, Donnie N's kind of God mode.
He's a blind man whooping a bunch of ass.
That's very comicky of him.
But you know what I'm still, it's still a little, I don't know, there's something to it
where I'm like, this character can actually be hurt, even though I know the movie has
to end.
Well, also the tone that they threw him in for John Wick, four is different than three and two as well.
Yeah.
Three and two feel a little bit more, like, like, fun.
and four is a you know there's a biblical is the word for it i love the title for now you see me
three now you finally did it now you what is it now you don't now you don't oh great title
underrated franchise underrated franchise they're doing four right yep incredible could not be
happier those movies are so preposterous they bring in another team in this one they showed
footage i seen the trailer they can't do anything wrong for me there's four now you see me um leads right
like the four horsemen they bring in a team of four young magicians and the eight of them have to go against
like a cartel it's insane it's like oceans 13 magic i yeah no that's what it is that they they are
it's not doesn't even try to make you feel like the magic is real it is it is insanely stupid and
ridiculous i love it the director came out and i and i respect the director uh you know going with
the words that we want to hear but he's like i tried to do all the magic in camera and i really
trend and then the first shot is three people warping into one person i was like what yeah like
it's like what's in camera about like three people forming one person like that's not no no it's
complete science fiction it is it is it is an insane franchise that people sometimes i understand
if you roll your eyes at it but you're supposed to roll your eyes yeah and and go along it's joy
yeah i think there's their blast move i'm so glad they find one and two amazing now you don't
was right there the whole time that's a great title i feel like that's what they needed was that one bit
of a title, right? Those like Bad Boys
Three being called Bad Boys for Life and then they made a fourth
when they're like, oh, we already used it. A lot
of this is like, I'm seeing a lot of announcements.
It's more of that, you know, what's, what's something
that we'd like to talk a little bit about?
Okay.
Dynamic Duo footage was shown? Dude.
Does it look, what was it? It was a good. Dude.
Yeah, it's a dude. If I
have a pick for my biggest pop of the
entire Cinemicon, it's the three
seconds we saw of Dynamic Duo. Why?
What's in it? Okay, so
this company's Swaybox. And they're
doing something i have never seen they've blended puppetry with animation that looks hand drawn and
cg i to smooth it out so it literally looks like photorealistic puppetry that has live action
that i can't see the seams of do you remember the first time you saw like 30 seconds of spiderverse
how you were like i don't get that but it looks that's that with puppets it blew my mind there's one
scene with dialogue and then there's one scene that's action and both and it's we're talking
three seconds total. It was part of a montage. During that medley, I literally went like,
huh, and then it came back and I was like, and I've never seen anything like it.
Remember the first time you saw Jurassic Park and the, and that you turned around and then the
fucking Apatosaurus was there? Oh, is it an apatosaurus or a bronchiosaurus?
When you saw the bronchiosaurus, that moment like being like, oh, before and after,
these seconds of Swaybox animation riveted me to the point where I was like, I've never seen
that.
yeah it looks stunning dude
i believe you
brociosaur it's a bronchiosaurus sorry
brock brock brachiosaurus
suddenly all that hunger games book reading looks real
oh sorry i didn't know the dinosaur section
at hunger games i must have skipped over that part
when they went to the savage land
but there's four there's three robins and a red hood on here
it's called dynamic duo well the duo is going to be red hood
and uh dick wrayson okay
damien wayne's going to be in the batman
movie but they're building out the family
all right all right I'd love to hear it
footage is dope I believe you
new theatrical
animated Flintstone's
Tom and Jerry and Looney Tunes movies
yeah Warner Brothers is getting to their animation game up
do you think they're gonna cancel or sell this shit off
it didn't feel really weird totally I was like
how's that ketchup deal go and where you sold it last time
it definitely felt like I tend stuff
oh yeah I heard about that coyote versus Acme
is actually gonna be actually getting the next year
I hope people show up.
Otherwise, this is all for not.
And like we really need to make sure if we're going to rally behind something, we actually show up and rally behind it.
What happened at the Superman panel?
Describe for me the perspective here because I saw no specifics, but a lot of disappointment and a lot of people saying they were bored.
They had James Gunn and Peter Saffron come out and run basically a Q&A or basically Saffron ran a Q&A with Gunn, Brosnahan, Corn Sweat, Holt.
So they all came out.
um and basically describe their characters and and it's tricky for me because i do interviews and
love hearing from actors so i was riveted because every time i see any of them talk about the
characters i go well put and like they they summarize stuff to me i loved it um this is one of
those moments where there's no way i can avoid the like coy is a dc studio show i wish there was
more of this not less uh i would rather have actors come out and describe their thing than see the
movie that I'm going to see in the summer. So, like, they gave us that five minutes of footage.
They gave us, uh, behind the scenes real. That was like four minutes of footage. And then they
talked for like 30 minutes or 20 minutes. I don't see the problem with that. You would think
industry people would eat that up. People want to hate this movie so badly. Like, I don't, honestly,
if you get five minutes of at least 60% new footage and then behind the scenes that's actors
and character talking about the character showing the scope and how much practical like this whole thing.
and then you also get them in it
like what else do you want
but people were complaining
and I genuinely don't understand it
and that's a tricky thing
with my position of like
I'm the comic correspondent
on the network show
and I get how people would think
that of course I would say that
but as a comic fan first
I would love to hear what Superman has to say
I would love to hear the perspective
of Lois Lane on journalism
I would love to hear Nicholas Holt
talk about why he thinks he's right
and then have James Gunn describe
his experience of discovering his way
into the writing the script like it was all the stuff
that I wanted and footage so I don't I don't know man did it sound rehearsed or like
talking points or a script that they were doing versus a genuine interview there were a couple
moments that sounded like um they had planned to say a beat but then derailed and that was when I was
like got my interest like the derailing like at one point um David cornswet did a James gun
impression where he was talking about how like he would his favorite part of filming on the set was
that James would think of a joke mid-scene
but then be like wildly giggling so
loud he couldn't get the dialogue out and he'd have
to wait to find out what he needed to say
because it was James like
and he was like right next to James
parrying James about his not being able to
control himself when he found something funny I'm like that wasn't
rehearsed like he's manically describing
James and
to me the beats
that were free flowing made up
for any of the we need to make sure we say these beats
and it didn't like some of them are all
that like the average little skit they do before
a movie feels very much like remember to make them laugh and you're like we need an editor like
this felt like uh conversation uh like they asked what you know the the classic question they're
going to get asked on tic talk for the next six months like if you could play any other dc character
like saffron did that and uh and cornswed and clearly not thought because he's like this is boring
but uh batman like i love to switch bodies with batman and then uh lois was like i want to be
lex luther i will shave my head this is my audition tape and then nick went well as someone
who auditioned to play both batman and superman and lost them both and i was
I was like, this is great, because that's, like, authentic.
Yeah.
So I think people are just ready to hate this.
Like, I think people want to be mad at a certain thing.
And that's unfortunate because they're doing all the right beats, and it feels like hope and joy.
The irony of hating something about kindness is not escaping me.
Like, is me describing it sound like, like, that's to me what I would do to promote it.
I mean, I like that last moment you were talking about, especially.
I'm more fascinated by the idea of why people are.
so determined like they get disappointed so fast with stuff regarding this movie yeah and i feel like
it's because the movie was a little doom from the get go from its announcement off of how it happened
from henry cabal to david cornswet or james gunn i mean not even david cornswet i think that right
there immediately set some precedent yeah to you know a consistent voice of prove me wrong and then like
people i mean i i briefly got on twitter today like a fool but seeing people like
like this can't be real.
Does James Gunn know that Superman loves the sun?
And I'm like, he's healing and also it's like 3,000 times.
Like it's just people like knee jerk reacting and not even considering what that image is.
Like why would healing not hurt if you're broken?
Like and why would the sun at that scale not affect like it's just crazy?
Oh, is that what I saw?
Okay.
Because I saw someone tweet out like this can't be real like a sinister laughing emoji.
And I didn't I didn't read to see why they were saying that.
Okay.
And that's what I mean.
People are just like, I want to be mad.
And it's a movie about kindness.
And then, like, it was a really beautiful moment where James was talking about after he found
his way in through crypto, because of his dog being a crazy dog, he was talking about what
he wanted out of Superman, the movie.
And he said, I want people to leave with kindness.
And I love that when you see a movie with someone, you love that person a little more.
I love that you love that experience.
I love that.
And he was talking about love and kindness.
And then everybody's being cynical about that.
And I was like, you guys don't understand Superman.
if you think someone talking about love and kindness is the problem?
Like, what, what is this take that you're so mad at?
And it's just, I'm, I mean, I've talked to you before.
Like, I have a social media presence that I loathe having exposure to dumb people on.
And leading up to Superman, I'm just not going to, like, I'm going to output, but zero input.
Like, I've deleted all the apps off my phone after CinemaCon.
And I'm just literally going to, like, use the Twitter.com post.
Because I'm not going to read any of this because I want to enjoy it.
And I want to enjoy life.
And these people are just.
what are they doing i think it'd be so funny if dc did not about egypt the premier court i i think
it would be the only way i could convince people that i'm not just saying this
yeah is me sitting in my house while the premieres on i want to go though so i'm not going to give

caught my interest. Once upon a time on Hollywood sequel is happening. Focusing on more adventures
of Cliff Booth, Tarantino wrote the script.
not directing.
Brad liked it.
Looks like Fincher is directing it.
They announced this on April Fool's Day.
I didn't believe it until the second.
It was a full 24 hours where I was like,
no. There's no way.
It's real. It's crazy.
We're getting a David Fincher, Brad Pitt,
written by Tarantino film.
He said that I heard some report that I was saying
it was the movie critic.
Yeah, they have morphed into this somehow, which I don't understand.
I don't understand considering a stuntman.
Those are different jobs.
They both have movie in them.
but I don't get it but I'm so excited
it's been a very long time since
Tarantino handed off a movie screenplay
to another director. I think he might have been from Dust Till Don
maybe or I think he was asked to do
from Dust Till Dawn John
I think from Dust Till Dawn came after
because Tarantino's in that movie. Oh okay
I think you're right. I think he sold True Romance to get
the money for Requiem and then I think
Dustsill Dawn Robert Rodriguez
relationship started. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's from Dust
till Dawn. Yeah, it's from Dustal
on and i mean i imagine that it here's here's the thing when i hear this i don't see a scenario
here where fincher is not going to warp that screenplay a good amount and yeah tarentino
is kind of a precious individual that one i don't know how much he's willing to let go
especially with a character like cliff booth yeah where he seems very precious about the once
upon a time in Hollywood world.
He's written screenplays off of the fictional show that DiCaprio stars in.
Yeah.
He wrote a book that I couldn't finish.
I didn't think it was particularly written.
He wrote a book that is better than any book I've ever written as I've never even
attempt.
But yeah, he did that.
He loves this world.
He had this script.
You know, ready to go.
So obviously he has to let go a bit.
I don't know a scenario.
it's hard for me to fathom a scenario here where tarantino who is very particular and fincher
who's also very particular can actually collaborate together especially with brad pitt
being so different for each of them like brad pitt is so cool that's his constant but brad pitt
in a fincher film is so precision brad pitt in the tarentina film so feel so flowy yeah like
it's actually the actor too that i'm like i think of him so clearly as cliff booth as not being
Tarantino-esque, even though he's cool in both.
Yeah. Like, I'm very curious what this is.
I love when Pitt and Tarantino collaborate,
but even more I love when Pitt and Fincher,
I think that's one of the great duos of all time.
I think Pitt and, um, uh, Tarant, no, sorry,
Pitt and Fincher is like Scorsese and De Niro.
I think it's one of the great pairings in cinema.
Fincher's direct, okay. Well, here's, here's, here's my club,
Benjamin Button.
Well, here's where I certainly backtrack a little bit of what I'm saying,
though, is that Fincher directed,
social network.
Yeah.
And Aaron Sorkin is one of the dialogue writers where you're like, we don't really mess with your
dialogue.
And Fenture directed the hell out of that with, but that's a precision director, a precision
writer.
Tarantino's writing feels like wee, like it's a different flow.
And Sorkin also knows how to be screenwriter in service of the director's vision.
Yeah.
I don't know that Tarantino does.
Any more at least.
But if anyone can make it work, it's Brad Pitt who, like, you know, he gets both.
this is one of my biggest
excitements because I thought it was fake
well yeah no I'm excited I don't
wrong like I'm genuinely really excited for it
I also Fincher hasn't announced anything in so long
like I've been waiting on a new Fincher thing for a while
the killer I enjoyed but like it's not my favorite Fincher
and that was two years ago I don't love that it's a Netflix film
this would be one of those limited releases that I would see in the theater
oh I'd pay to see this an I pick but I just don't love that
Tarantino being a man who spends his money saving movie theaters
had to sell it to someone that ruins the
well he said he was working on a show that was going to be
a streaming show, I think.
Tarantino?
Yeah, he said it had like 10 scripts done for that, you know,
this whole thing with his last movie.
He seems like he's prolonging this.
And he's doing every other medium.
He's doing everything.
Okay, now I'm going to write a script that I'm not going to direct now.
I'm going to write a book about a movie that I'm not going to make.
Yeah, but, but I just, I wish, I wish it was going to a big,
wide release studio.
I'm excited though.
Oh, I think I, here's the thing.
Until they're filming it, I'm not going to sell myself that this is actually
happened. It still might be an April Fool's joke just retroactively delayed. I could believe that
they are, they decided they're going to do it. I could see it falling apart though. Yeah.
That's that I hope it doesn't. I hope they're able to go through with it. And I hope that when it happens
that Tarantino was supportive because we know Tarantino is the kind of guy who, if he's not liking it,
he will, he will say it. We'll hear all about it. Yeah. He'll be vocal about it. We will not,
we won't be able to escape it. Yeah. It'll be everywhere. I can't wait, man. Hopefully. Hopefully. Hopefully. Hopefully.
hopefully, hopefully. How did we not acknowledge this? Val Kilmer passed away.
Yeah. When he passed away on April first. Which I think he would have enjoyed. Sure.
Do you know what I mean? His sense of humor feels like it's got a little cheekiness in it. Like I think, I think Val Kilmer passing on April Fool's Day, I wish it had in a minute, it's only is 65th. But like, I think there's a cheekiness to that man that would have enjoyed like, is it real? Because I thought it might be an April Fool's joke. I mean, he's a man of many iterations in his career. 100%. A lot of people.
People first probably got to know him from Iceman and Top Gun, young, hot shot, cocky kind of guy.
And for people like myself, it was actually Batman.
And that love for him, thank God, has come around for his Bruce Wayne way before he's passing.
We've seen it happen.
Yeah.
That people are like, actually, you know, he was pretty good Bruce Wayne.
He was actually a pretty good Bruce Wayne.
And then, you know, he's the kind of guy who seems like.
his career fades and he comes back and does something kiss kiss bang man dude that was such a good
comeback he was amazing kiss kiss kiss bang man and like there's something kind of beautiful that's him
and robert danny junior specifically those two guys and even with the disease he shows up in
top gun maver yeah and even with the disease he has an online presence that's so charming he's doing
art he's making jokes about documentary about he's touring as mark twain for years becoming mark twain
every night for years at a time live man's it so many different iterations throughout his
his tombstone era dude like i'm so my god how how did i skip that yeah i'm your huckleberry is one of
the great lines in cinema uh i also even before all the ones we're talking about now like real
genius uh i'm a huge giant fan of heat uh like him and michael man working together like he's such
a boss everyone talks about him and uh i mean Pacino and deniro i think he rightfully earns his
place on that cover of that poster oh 100% i totally and have you ever read the thing he wrote
on reddit he did like an ama and someone asked what it was like to work on heat he had the
this great long paragraph. He's like, I'm one of the few men in the world that can call
Robert De Niro Bob, and I've seen Al Pacino laughing until his sides hurt in the side of a van.
He wrote this beautiful, like, poem of like a love letter to being in heat. And the end is just
like, I'm the luckiest man alive. Like, I don't take any of this for granted. And I'm like,
what a, it felt like reading a, um, a college kid that got his first acting gig, but it's Val Kilmer
20 years into his career. Like it, the reverence and respect he always had for art is beautiful.
I'm a huge Val Kilmer fan. Celebrities die.
You know, several celebrities die here.
And my wife never messages me about it.
And that was one where she actually messaged me and said,
oh my God, Val Kilmer died.
Like she's never taken aback by a celebrity death.
So, yeah, this was an impactful one.
I feel bad that you mentioned at the top.
Yeah, same.
I don't know that we've got.
It's just overwhelmed with everything.
But like I think he's one of the great movie stars of our generation
where like Top Gun is, you know, when we were born roughly.
And like we grew up with him as like our movie star.
but I feel like he's, you know, like a Dean Brando 30 years later for us.
Like Val Kilmer is like a formative movie star that earned that through so much versatility.
Yeah.
He never stopped.
No, man.
Never stopped.
Top Gun, like, I love that Tom Cruise, we're actually, here's the tangent.
Today, we'll go back to the second, but Tom Cruise had the Paramount panel on the third.
And he had a moment of silence, like a full minute of silence for Val Kilmer that the entire room was completely.
silent for which i love that they spent time to give them a bit man they have stories about each other
that's cool man that's really cool but that clip was circulating and when he talked about bringing
valcomber back yeah and how he demanded it like it had to happen tom cruz was the one who made
it happen yeah and i just keep picturing that uh that computer screen of like you have to let go
like that is so impactful now with that valve knowing you know he was close guy rich he's
fan of youth apple tv baby dude everything guy rich he's doing has me excited like he's doing
with Tom Hardy. He's doing stuff like he's got an
Isaac Gonzalez joint. Tell me
in two sentences, what did you think about
how to turn your dragon?
The best
animated turned live action
adaptation, not only could I fathom
but that I've ever seen is
able to navigate replicating
the first magic while giving you
new takes without sacrificing the
integrity of the story, all while
building out a magical world that mirrors
my favorite animated trilogy for all time in a new
way to bring in new audiences
that's third act might actually be stronger
than the originals.
Really?
The first act, I did in two sentences, ish.
But the first act, I was like, oh, no, no, no, no.
Like, not even the first act, like, the first 50 minutes.
I just found myself, like, thinking of the original
and being like, oh, oh, no.
And, like, there's something that happens a few minutes in,
like 16, 17 minutes where I'm like, oh, wait, I'm living it.
And then, like, by the time you're on the second act,
you're like, oh, yeah.
And then the third act, the scope is,
able to translate differently and as someone that loves live action the scope resonates
differently and i'm gobsmacked at what they get away with it feels like dragon heart dude it feels like
dragon heart for this generation it's so good you've said it uh that's your favorite trilogy yeah
and for me to love an adaptation is high praise that or the sunrise yeah before either a higher
train or before my favorite trilogies all right wow wow good for how to train your dragon
the uh dean uh dean the director came out um and they did
the they had the how to train your dragon first screening before the universal panel and universal
obviously was highlighting how to train your dragon so then uh at the premiere they came out and they
were describing like the actors and you know um the actress that plays aster and so like you know
me and mason really wanted to honor the original actors and like all of our flowers and then we
really love blah blah blah and then gerard butler's like and we all know only one man could ever
take the mantle of gerard butler from gerard butler he just like sings his own praises for five
minutes on stage and deed kept interrupting him and it felt like a scripted bit that like
Gerard was like no I'm gonna do this and like it was such a funny thing and then later on
the universal panel he came back out and started into it again and then they announced
how to train your dragon two in live action oh my god they're going through with it already
getting a second one are they're probably still going to wait though to see if it's a hit
they'll probably be a hit they announced a date it's got to be yeah it's got it's also so good
like I'm not worried about this movie at all it's it's incredible you got me excited man
They debuted it two months early.
Like, it looks really good, but the trailers have primarily been, yeah, I've seen the animated movie.
Like, it looks good.
It looks.
A lot of the trailer is the shot for shot.
The movie is not as much.
Like, it veers in so many specials.
Okay, that's good to hear.
That's all I needed to really hear, honestly.
It's not a shot for shot.
Yeah, because if that's all it was, it'd be like, what's so different about this compared to like what Disney does, you know?
Very different, in my opinion.
All right.
What else do we got here?
We're onto the universal panel stuff.
Day three.
do do do do do to do anything about Jurassic World rebirth that was new they showed footage
um and they that was actually one of the skits that was funny i think that was the best on stage
chemistry that felt scripted but i was okay with it um scarlet johansson merhershala ali and gareth
evans came out and made so many jokes at streaming's expense uh at one point at one point
uh scald jahans was describing working on other like you know wanting to do a dinosaur movie
and she was like you look that way they're not there you look that way they're not there and then uh
Gareth goes like a streaming movie and then merge and rehearsally goes
Cinema God and I was like you guys you're cute but yeah they talked about like the
importance of honoring Spielberg how much they love the David Kep script then they
showed us a bunch of footage that looks it looks more Jurassic World than Jurassic Park
but it looks the most Jurassic Park of the Jurassic Worlds that's a really well
way to put I had a feeling you were going with it that's weird because the first
trailer fell the most Jurassic World out of the most Jurassic World yeah it really
did and I was really disappointed this one I'm
half disappointed.
Like, I just love the first one so much.
Yeah.
Everyone that comes out makes the lost world look better.
The first one didn't, because the trailer for this new one didn't, at least when they showed us, it's like zero horror to it.
This one has a decent amount.
This one's like almost a horror trailer.
I mean, it's Garrett Edwards.
So it's shocked me when I'm like, oh, it's just an action movie.
So, but it's marketing and they're probably trying to capitalize on the fun.
And which genre they want to market to first?
this one i'm really excited about i'm surprised it took us this long considering how popular it was
a nobody part two dude the the footage uh i think they showed like four minutes of it uh it was either
an extended trailer or yeah yeah it wasn't a scene it was an extended trailer uh odenkirk goes on vacation
and accidentally ends up on like a high trafficking trail and then has to like he he defends his daughter
and in a moment of defending his daughter gets embroiled in like dirty cops and stuff so it's like
vacation Odin Kirk fighting people. It's awesome. I can't wait for a man. That one is that first
one's great and Bob Oden Kirk is is amazing. The action looks incredible. He should have gotten,
I think he'd rightfully deserve to win at least once for better callsall. Have you seen
better calls all? Have you seen better calls all? Incredible. Breaking Bad is my favorite show of all time
and I've never seen better call saw. I've been that busy. I'm so disappointed in myself.
There's several performances in there that are wildly overlooked. And I was part of the uproar.
people weren't nominated and when people didn't win yeah man it's cool that bob odenkirk is
able to find this success so much later in his life like who becomes outside of leum nison
yeah becomes an action hero but his age and like middle age action star then and leon nason
already had like a lot more street he already had like a drama the bad assery yeah
he was like a comedy he was like a funny dude yeah sketch comedy it's and then even nobody's kind of
sell them on the humor of the premise and like it saved his life he had that heart thing that
he wouldn't have made it through without all the training for nobody like I think that's such a
beautiful like you know get healthy thing well and you're drawing this parallel when we also have
Liam Neeson in a new naked guy speaking of going from comedy to action to comedy yeah now he's
gone full comedy and Liam Neeson his his cameo in ted too he's so funny with the
and that's step in farling yeah who's doing and he was it worked with him in a million days
I didn't love, unfortunately, but I did enjoy.
But I love that cameo in Ted 2.
Ted 2's genius.
And it's for the long time, I feel like he should be doing more comedy.
He's a funny guy in interviews and stuff.
He can be really funny.
And I haven't seen the naked gun footage yet.
I haven't seen it yet.
I love the original.
What I've heard is that he's playing the son of Liam Neeson.
I love it.
Brilliant.
Why not?
That's not a son of, Leslie Nielsen.
I didn't even put it together with the name.
Liam Mason and Leslie Nielsen are oddly similar.
put that together their names are kind of similar they probably acknowledge that in some way i also
love the idea that liam nason's playing his own son i thought that's what we were joking
the son of the son of lesley nielsen is a is a great touch and i think seth macfarlane i know
there's a lot of varying opinions about the guy i think he's a perfect voice to be in addition to
the naked gun friend because clearly it's an inspiration to set up yeah i was going to say it feels
like he's already been using it as inspiration let him go back and then give that source material some
love and what's great is it's a while since we got a pure comedy yeah and maybe there's going to be some
additional action in this and maybe they'll pitch it as an action comedy i think a gun is not an
action comedy like it's a it's a comedy yeah it's a pure comedy and maybe this one they'll do
something different and make it action comedy because this is leam nison like john ham's uh fletch like
they they played at the genre a little bit there and that's a similar era of comedy okay let's move on
black phone two i hear is like supernatural as
which suddenly made sense to me with what they're doing with the guy with Ethan Hawk
because when I first heard it I went that sounds far-fetched but then I went oh but the first
movie has like kid ghosts and stuff so it's not that far-fetched yeah I was like what a grounded
movie that wait a second yeah yeah the trailer is so atmospheric and insane and then it ratchets up
the intensity and it becomes like a full-on 80s slasher for like 30% of it really it literally goes
from like, hey, you're used to this world and it's good to see Mason back and like we're
going to go to that and then all of a sudden you're like Jason lives. Like it goes like
Jason 5 level horror slasher and then it comes back and then it kind of manipulates the tone
by the, it's like a three-act trailer and all of its changing tone and it all looks awesome.
I might avoid the trailer. It's such a good trailer. That was the first movie I
Roxy ever did here. Her and I did that one together and I was so surprised by how effective
it was. It's my favorite modern singular.
horror movie like cabin in the woods is my favorite modern horror movie but that's like 2000s now
but that that's like a comedy horror as far as horror goes black phone is as far and away my favorite
of the modern horror era like it's perfect well i'm i get excited at the prospect of them
leaning more like doing something that feels completely different while it being something where they're
actually leaning on an element that was already there feels like alien to aliens yeah yeah
where it's like the same genres it's ticked but then you do a new genre
the main baseline. It's funny because horror tends to be the genre where you can actually play
like that. They did Happy Death Day and I know you haven't seen them, but no, there's Happy Death Day,
which is very much serial killer horror comedy with the time loop element. And then the second
one is not a horror at all, but they capitalize on some other elements and alien to aliens.
Ali aliens capitalize it keeps the horror, but they make it an action movie now. I heard with Megan
2. I haven't seen
the trailer, but I've heard of Megan 2 that
they lean way more with the violence and
action now. Yeah, and the kitchen is still
there, but it doesn't feel like it's going to have the same
commentary that surprised me about the first one.
That's a disappointment. I was a little
bummed at the Megan 2 trailer. But I don't know
if the first, but my point
is, it's a larger thing, and what they're doing with Blackphone
2 is, horror is
that one genre where weirdly
like, it's rare where something goes
more horror. Yeah, yeah.
Or something starts off with light horror
and then the sequel is more horror
but sometimes when it's the first like Terminator
is a horror sci-fi movie
and the second one's an action comedy action adventure movie
action adventure with action adventure
sci-fi with horror menace
yeah yeah yeah but it's not a horror
movie no you can show T2
to younger people yeah no that's
there's so many people growing up
yeah I grew up on T2 I haven't seen T-Terminer 1
that's a crazy horror movie because Terminator 1 is a direct
horror film yeah
black phone two footage is fantastic
I'm super excited.
What I love about black,
what you're telling me about a black phone too
is that they're leaning way more
into the supernatural
where that was secondary genre.
Yeah.
This one,
it's going to be the primary genre.
It looks terrifying.
Honestly,
that sounds freaking badass to me.
That sounds really awesome to me.
Yeah,
because when you introduced me to Mason
at the premiere,
I remember telling him,
I'm like,
what is this?
You're getting kidnapped again?
Like,
what is your back?
And he's like,
Ethan Hoss back,
what?
Yeah.
I was like,
what is this movie?
That doesn't make me sense.
You know, we didn't know the whole cask up in the back.
I was like, did they see the first one?
I was so skeptical.
Looks great.
Spielberg's doing a new UFO movie?
Yeah.
The conspiracy slash, I don't know what you consider like, you know, what I don't know
what's happening in UFO lore, but whatever reality of UFO, UFO is a huge subcurrent
of the internet and Spielberg is apparently making something that's going to be like
their movie.
He's a UFO obsessive.
Oh my God.
Well, yeah, let's get Christian Harloff on the line.
He literally is going to tell you everything about it, because I don't know anything.
But, I mean, I'm sure that group is excited.
Wicked, for good.
Saw the footage.
It was pretty badass.
Imagine this is a great footage.
I'm excited to see.
Phil, Lord and Chris Miller got a new thing.
Dude.
Wait, what is this?
What, dude?
Holy, what, Ryan Gosling?
What is this?
Shows Ryan Gosling as a biology teacher who was travel through space after the sun begins to erode.
Did they show footage?
Does it, is it funny or something?
This doesn't sound funny.
enjoying that you didn't know this because I'm just enjoying you getting to see a new
Ryan Gosling before your eyes.
I'm in love of Ryan Gosling before the world was a little Ryan Gosling.
He's one of my like underground band kind of feeling.
Before he was cool.
Before like everyone was attached to him.
But in Phil Lord and Chris Miller, this sounds so different.
Written by Drew Goddard.
No fucking way.
The original book written by Andy Weir who worked on the Martian with Drew Godd.
I would be more excited if I knew book.
books more that is cool though
2001 hugo award winning book
which is like the sci-fi award it's like
sci-fi best picture award it won that
in books this is going to be like the best movie
of the year dude it's it's lord
miller doing a drama ryan gosling
andy weird drew goddard it is that is
the Avengers of a cast below the line
and then Ryan Gosling this is just got
shoot dude this is going to be
revelatory announcements
yeah wow
I mean like
I mean like original movie
announcements like that
that is insane so i did the um oscar screening of across the spider verse last year with uh chris and
phil and they were deep in development of this and they were describing how much the writing
process has meant to them and how much joy they were getting out of it and they their joy and
their excitement to do something like this i was like oh i'm excited like in a in a curious wakes i love
these guys the footage is it might be gosling's best work dude it looks incredible and i don't say
that lightly this thing looks nuts that's the thing i love about phil lorne and chris miller is
they do movies where their direction is one of the stars of the movie.
Yeah.
But they never neglect their stars of the movie.
Yeah.
Their actual leading actors always get something to chew on.
And written by Drew Goddard.
That is fatholic.
Insane.
Insane.
I never.
And I imagine Phil Lauren Chris Miller like have saying the script and stuff.
But damn to what a, that's one of my most anticipated things.
What a trio of people.
It's Amazon via MGM and they're putting theatrical Amazon promised to do 12 to
14 theatrical films, and that is one of them.
Crazy.
Crazy stuff.
Yeah, I'm really excited.
Between Ryan Gossackert,
E.T. type, loveable alien named Rocky.
That's cool.
Will Andy Circus play him?
It's the only one who can.
Will Bill Hader voice him?
Will Alan Tudic voice?
Bill Hater's voice in the cat in the hat, though.
I didn't hear about him.
Of course.
They showed footage, and it's the weirdest.
It's crazy, dude.
It's so funny, but then Bill Hater came out,
It was clearly unscripted.
It was just so like, I'm going to say this.
I'm going to say this.
It was so fun.
Bill Hader came out like basically as Cat, Matt.
Oh my God.
Dude, Project Hail Mary.
I'm so excited that you got to discover this.
I'm so honored I got to see you.
What a great title, by the way.
That sounds, there sounds so much stakes in that title.
The book is nuts.
Project Hail Mary.
What a brilliant title.
I haven't read the book in its entirety, but I've read, um, like pieces of chapters to see if it was my thing.
And I've been dying to read it.
I own it.
I haven't read it.
I'm, yes, I'm so excited.
What's crazy to me, too, is that they're leading, no, when I hear Drew Goddard, I kind of associate an ensemble.
Okay.
And this sounds very, like, singular focus.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Which makes me more excited.
Yeah.
Oh, man.
Whoa.
I just can't.
I'm so glad you got to this guy.
Oh, my mind.
This is the Amazon panel that we're at right now?
Yeah, because he.
Oh, because yeah, they got Michael B. Jordan with Thomas.
I didn't get to, didn't get to talk to him.
and I always have wanted to, Ryan Gosseling,
but he was in a hallway walking by,
and he waved,
and there was a moment where I was like,
I wish Greg was here.
And then it's so funny that it was for Project Tale Mary,
and now you get to learn it in real time,
but like Ryan Gosling, like, man, what a vibe.
That guy's energy is immaculate.
Yeah, I was literally,
I was filming something rocks before,
and I was going in depth about like
why the drive performance specifically
struck a chord with me in my life at that time,
and I've been obsessed with him ever since.
He's one of the few.
I'm a I'm I used the word
obsess carefully
like I am particular about it
like Roxie says I obsessed
is like wonderful vernacular
and for me I'm like when I use the word
I'm obsessed with someone
pretty particular than I should
yeah like I'm just gonna convert
a rap song about it's on the channel
it's a fun it's comedy rouse on but
it shows too I think we're gonna get is
this guy really does love Ryan Gossel
do you know the the Iliad bookstore
the used bookstore in the valley
A lot of books in this episode.
I do love books.
I was at The Iliad with some friends.
And my reveal of how obsessed I was was there was a fitness book, like a movie fitness book.
And it was just the bottom half was sticking out.
And it was just the lower like two or three abs.
And nobody, just lower two or three abs.
And one of my buddies was like, hey, who do you think this is?
And I was like, those are definitely Tom Hardy's abs.
And he pulls it out.
And it's a Tom Hardy fitness book.
And I was like, oh, no.
So I think Tom Hardy's my Ryan Gosling.
Yeah, oh, that way for you?
Yeah, there's no question about that.
Yeah.
absolutely that was when the word obsessed i was like that tracks that's that's tom i got my listening
face like my face cannot look like ryan goslings but my listening face when i'm like just kind of
stoically staring the guy from ryan goss just where ryan goson doesn't learn to face
right gosling listening i i weirdly would say i learned i'm learning i'm realizing this right now
i learned how to listen better from watching ryan gosling your active listening came from
a performance of ryan gosling undoubtedly the shoulder routines
I've taught you came from Tom Harney's trainer peanut yeah so like yeah
the whole the close yeah down 32 pounds dude I haven't updated you in week
yeah I went to Vegas I'm up some but that is incredible man yeah no it's like I
I remember being really affected by Ryan Gosling the way he listens and and when I'm in
conversation I would just stare I will do that right guy but it's like my eyes don't
portray the same level of death you're playing night call in your head you're playing the
score you're like plain and simple does not communicate anywhere near as impactful
will human being uh lucca luca guadanoigo andrew garfield iowetta berry movie this guy just makes
like like two movies a year now just they're incredible every time with great cast i've seen
like two of them i've not seen that many of his movies i want to watch queer i heard that's a
good one and sergeant rock whoa there's a huge jackman movie oh wait what is this is this like an animated thing
oh no wait whoa what the hell is this this is honestly this is not the SEO heavy ones in
the ones that okay clicks when these are easily the ones the most fascinated by have you heard of
this three bags full a sheep detective story I love it this follows a flock of sheep
I can't get over this who solved the brutal murder of the shepherd by Hugh Jackman
I want to see this right now.
Amazon is going nuts.
Amazon is making moves, dude.
And everyone signed up.
Ryan Crenson, Patrick Sturier, and Emma Thompson.
I don't even, I'm not sure I'm grasping what this is about.
A flock of sheep.
Are they going to be voices?
So their shepherd is dead.
That's Hugh Jackman.
And the other ones are the voices?
I don't care
That's a brilliant plot
That's a brilliant movie man
Yeah dude Amazon got a movie with
Hallie Barry and Chris Hemsworth came on
That's what I just landed on right now
And Barry Keogan
Yeah like Amazon's crushing it right now
I'm really excited for this slate
Like all the stuff they're doing
Oh God
Yeah the Luca movie Project Hail Mary that one
Merchall Lee is going to be in a
There's so many announcements
I'm so tired
from reading.
Greg does not read the books I read.
This is too many words.
This is a lot.
Yeah, I'm like, I've provided barely any commentary in this video.
You've got the best reactions, though.
It's just me going like, what?
What are they talking about?
The internet got to see you see a Ryan Gosling movie be born.
I'm so excited about that.
I've heard the He-Man thing looks surprisingly cool.
That I didn't see.
I'm excited to see it.
I heard it's like really beautiful practical effects.
have you heard about this i mean of course yet i play rocky no actually that wasn't on the
the thing i did amazon follows a young stalone and the dramatic journey it took to get rocky
made selling his dog and stuff peter fairly i know the story very well peter farrelly is set to
direct i did not catch that one that's incredible is it going to cover the time when he did adult
films to survive what was that the stallion the italian
Yeah, you guys can find
they're online.
If you'd like to see Rocky's Balboa,
it's on the internet.
Yeah, it's there,
Boba,
the Balboa.
The Rock.
I'm sure we didn't
invent that.
No,
but I just thought it,
and I'm sure someone else thought of it first.
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah,
I mean,
Peter Fairly,
he had a green book,
and then he followed up
with that Zach Ephron one
that no one really seemed to appreciate.
So you don't even know,
the one that with the beer in Vietnam.
I didn't even see it.
Oh,
it was fine.
Yeah.
I like,
we are your friends so much more than most, so I was hoping.
Is there a young actor today that you
that looks like a young Stallone
to you? Ten years ago, Milo Ventimilia.
That's why he played his son
and this is us. Because he looks somewhat
and in Rocky. It's the eyes, man. You got to get those
eyes down. Yeah, I can't
think. Stallone's so specific. He looks like a shark.
That's also why it's a shark.
Jesus.
Okay.
I love that. I mean,
yeah, there's a whole backstory.
him for him gay rocky made the amount of rejection it is one of the best stories uh true stories
of endurance and resilience and like keeping the rights and all everything and like playing him
instead of selling it yeah it's a story that people who are not alone love to tell it's also like
the actor story for our generation i'm like gotta do whatever it takes like i remember that as a
as a struggling actor like sold his dog then when he got the money when rocky got picked up
a large percentage of that money he went to find his dog
buy his dog back at a very
different price point it is in and that dog
is in the movie but kiss yeah and he
still has the turtles the turtles from rocky
they're still alive turtles live forever yeah they're still
alive rocky one turtle still in Stallone's
possession I mean this is pretty much by
the numbers but it's it's could be interesting to do
because Rocky is such a like
a set a template for like
the inspirational sports movie
that has become a genre
and a cliche of its own
and this would kind of be
the account two is also Amazon which
I didn't realize and they're not getting enough credit for and Amazon MGM's doing the account
too Gavin O'Connor the director of warrior so I'm talking about very similar vibes well you're
I warrior is the first thing to de-thron rocky for me so that's why I thought of it like warrior to me is
the best sports movie of all time rocky's right there though yeah warrior is pretty incredible man
Gavin O'Connor's a genius you know you put out a reaction when people are messaging you are
are you okay the amount of messages I got on my Instagram I've been like I don't know what you're going
through Greg. I hope it's so sweet because I'm like I know I'm experiencing the movie just playing on
real emotions but I'm not like not like guys my life's crumbling here's my reaction this isn't a call
for help it's a reaction no it's showing out it's a positive experience it was a cathartic
experience it wasn't a please help me experience I talked to Gavin at the con at cinema con
and I told him your experience and also how much warriors my favorite film and that you know
the accountant is the sequel I never thought we'd get
that I've always wanted. And he was just
like, yeah, I've got this, you know, unlucky
touch where people discover my movies later and it doesn't
have, but I'm hoping it changes. And I was like, what a great
response from a man who makes great art.
Oh, did you see the trailer for Running Man?
No, I was, so I was doing a red carpet during the Amazon, so I only
saw some of this. Did people react to that here?
I haven't seen it. I feel like
someone shot a reaction to that, and we've been waiting
forever to upload it because
Yes, there is a run.
I remember adding that to the list and then hearing about this and going,
Wait a second.
Wait till the trailer is out.
So it's out?
We've got a reaction?
I think someone did a reaction to it.
I don't know who did it.
Coy, you were in this video.
Oh, I thought you meant the trailer reaction.
Yeah, I did that one.
Oh, you were in the movie reaction.
Yeah, I think of it a trailer reaction.
Yeah, we haven't uploaded it yet.
Yeah, I watched that movie.
You did that months ago.
Yeah.
It was great.
I loved it.
Yeah.
That's a fun one.
I think that's everything.
No, we haven't even got it at Disney.
Oh, yeah.
So shut up, Coy.
Sorry.
You move later.
Hallie Berry says she isn't returning.
Okay.
Yeah, whatever.
Shut up, Hallie Berry.
Shut up.
I can't wait to see you there.
What is today?
Today's the fourth third.
All right.
Let's see what's going on here.
Okay.
Brigger Badlands.
Yay.
Oh, yeah, I'm excited about this.
The Predators.
Dan Tractonberg doing a protagonist protagonist predator.
And he is returning to Drenica.
Yeah, and L. Fanning's in it.
Interviewing him was, like, you've done so many interviews that there's got to be a few that
really, like, really stand out as, like, ones that really left a mark in your life.
And my time, my brief times with Dan Tractenberg is one of those, for sure.
That's beautiful.
It's not like the interviews were the most profound, but the.
The interaction I could see the way he was, like, responding to when we were talking, and, like, one of the things he said at the premiere to me, I was like, oh, wow, this is something I'm never going to forget.
That's beautiful.
And he clearly loves the predator.
Like, he knows a predator.
He clearly loves the franchise, you know.
Because sometimes you get these directors now who are like, I don't read comics and I don't like comics, but I'm going to make that comic movie.
I don't like Harry Potter, but I'm going to make Harry Potter, you know, you get a lot of that.
Would you spend two years of your life, aren't?
And you want the people who kind of, who love the good.
and also kind of like the bad.
Yeah, you want those people.
That understand.
That understand the franchise.
And he's one of those for Predator.
Like, he gets the franchise,
even the ones that are a little bit on the lesser side.
That's exciting.
I've never talked to Dan.
That's good to hear.
Yeah, and I think he's incredible.
So Jeff Bridges is back for Tron, is he now?
Yeah, dude.
Do you know the biggest,
well, maybe it's not the biggest deal to you,
but I know it's going to be to John.
John, do you know who's scoring Tron 3?
Oh, yes.
That would be Trent Resner and Atticus Ross.
Nine Inch Nails.
under the actual Nine Inch Nail's Banner.
Nottish Nail's is back!
You want to know a fun fact?
I have a neighbor who kind of pisses me off.
Who works with Treadwester?
I want to know them.
I'm a huge fan.
I had to call his landlord.
Maybe not.
Apparently he's a super nice guy,
and he just did a couple of things
that really rub me in the wrong way.
And I was like, I'd be happy to have a dialogue with him.
I say that.
I'm like, I happen to have a dialogue.
dialogue with him, set it up. Let's talk.
It hasn't happened yet.
But yeah.
Giant Trent Resner,
and this goes Ross fan.
They showed some footage back in the day at D23 and it was in a giant.
Did I say about this, John?
I don't think so.
So they rented a stadium at D23 and it was like a full on sports stadium,
like thousands and thousands, like huge and they filled it for D23 for the announcements.
And this was like three hours in the Disney's going to own everything on the planet announcement.
And they like queued up Tron and they had the the bikes cruising around like on these projectors in the sky.
And I was like,
oh, that's a cool, that's fun.
But then they, like, put these beams of lasers across the room,
and they made it look like it was cutting the stadium open.
I was like, all right, you have my attention.
Like, what's going to possibly come out of the cutout?
Like, nothing's going to be impactful.
And then it comes down, and it makes this tiny little door.
And then the door opens, and it's just Trent Resner and Atticus Ross standing completely still.
They don't move.
And I'm like, this is the greatest moment of my life.
Door closes.
Nothing has ever said.
The 9-inch nails comes up on the screen in laser, cut to black.
And I was like, everything was worth this.
ever since i've been excited about this movie i don't care about tron enough to be excited but nine
shnails i care about a lot well you know what my neighbor did how did he offend you reg
well um john was there this day where uh he left out these boxes and the the front of his house
started catching on fire the whole boxes it was a massive flame and olivia and i and another neighbor
we got our hose went over to his next door and help put out the fire he wasn't a raced
never thanked us what and I was like all right fine fine and then Olivia had
kidney stones and she got medicine delivered and they delivered it to his
place by accident and there's a photo of dropping off at his front door and then
hours when I was like they said it dropped out oh it dropped off the wrong
place I was like okay why didn't the guys bring it over I walk over and it's
further away from the door he tore open the box and was like not mine left it
outside didn't even walk it over which would have taken less than 20 seconds to walk it over
just left it in the yard and i was like i think this is very disrespectful and i will i'm like i'm
i'm gonna i like you the landlord so i'll talk to him first and otherwise i will talk to him
directly if i need to when when and if i need to talk to him those are two crazy things yeah so
you know maybe trend red is not a good boss and produces a bitter bitter employees i don't think
we can blame Trent Resner for this random guy's bad choices.
Disagre.
Disagre.
Disagre.
Rude neighbors who don't wave back when they drive and you wave.
Strike three.
The not wave back.
It's kind of rude and disrespectful.
It's very rude. Disrespectful.
Same.
Neighborly. Come on.
Be a little bit.
So Kevin Feigey says Avengers Dooms Day will focus on the Avengers,
with Condens, Fantastic Four, Thunderbolts,
and original X-Men all fighting Dr. Doom.
No, no, no.
It's Avengers versus X-Men.
that's what we're doing that's what we're hopping to right away it's a good thing this doom
is such a threat that we've met wait no we haven't met him yet what a crazy thing to just jump
into i've read uh i've read the first six original issues of fantastic for this week the new ryan
north one the new no the original oh the old school kirby stanley yeah dude fifth one is dr doom
yeah appearance of all time yeah those are fun yeah dude they're like crazy campy joy yeah
Yeah, yeah.
The art's stunning.
I don't know if I could read all those, though.
There's a lot.
I'm like,
oh,
this is fun,
but man,
I got to like,
maybe what's a more modern take?
I could read the newest run by Ryan North.
It's only 30 issues in,
and it's the best fantastic for maybe a whole time.
It's so good.
What was the early 2000s one?
Jonathan Nickman's great.
That's the one.
Jonathan Nickman's fantastic.
I was thinking of starting.
I truly think the one run right now is the best FF.
Yeah.
Ever.
I mean,
I liked it.
Sue Storm's,
and fantastic four that's probably going to mean the trailer we watched tomorrow great
it was that's her kid's name again franklin richards yeah can create galaxies that's what
i'm talking about your realities let's speed up fantastic four as well yes what if we skip ahead
we skip away everybody's got a family of baby it's all good tombs already here they're fighting
everybody they've already met namor it's fine everything's already happened sorry that we'll tell you
about it in post i'm excited for fantastic
And I see the curvyisms of it.
But when I read stuff like that, I do go like, I think you're kind of speeding.
You're hurry enough?
I guess.
Good thing we can't third times the charm with this team.
And he said, Doom is, deserves to be like solely a fantastic four villain at one point, too.
Him fighting everyone in Marvel.
The more I read comics.
Because weirdly, this whole process of the podcast and conversations, I've been reading a lot more
comics.
Makes me so happy.
Yeah, I'm really, I enjoy it.
Instead of being more like,
oh my god this is coming out what do i have to read homework i've been more like what dare
this is a nice time what fantastic for when do i want to read which which uh you know and i happen
to be reading spider man i was like oh it's perfect because i've been reading rat new day and the
and yeah but the more i read the more i get disappointed so you get where i'm coming from with the doom
casting like the internet got so mad at me every time i bring up that downy doom is not like great
and like the the knee-jerk reaction to get mad is so exhausting when it's like i've loved
this character my whole life i think it's okay to be trepidatious like and i'm not even like talking
shit i'm just trepidatious zootopia two is finally happening avatar fire and ash is happening
um and they showed thunderbolt's footage yay okay all right cool we did it guys we did it we did it

here for the next four to five hours. Thank you for readjusting. Thank you for everyone being
here. If I'm exhausted, I can only imagine how you are, how everyone else who was at, this shit
was. I drove at 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. and I'm still here. You're a badass, man. Absolutely bad
