Starting point is 00:00:00 This episode is brought to you by Adidas. When the frustration grows and the doubts start to creep in, we all need someone who has our back. To tell us, we'll be okay, to remind us of our ability, to believe, because their belief in us transfers to self-belief and reminds us of all that we're capable of. We all need someone to make us believe.

Starting point is 00:01:00 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.
Starting point is 00:01:44 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.
Starting point is 00:02:06 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
Starting point is 00:02:34 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
Starting point is 00:03:11 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.
Starting point is 00:03:58 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
Starting point is 00:04:31 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
Starting point is 00:05:09 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
Starting point is 00:05:49 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,
Starting point is 00:06:21 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.
Starting point is 00:06:41 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
Starting point is 00:07:14 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?
Starting point is 00:07:42 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.
Starting point is 00:08:30 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
Starting point is 00:09:20 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
Starting point is 00:10:03 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
Starting point is 00:10:24 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
Starting point is 00:10:40 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
Starting point is 00:11:14 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
Starting point is 00:11:29 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
Starting point is 00:11:46 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.
Starting point is 00:12:04 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
Starting point is 00:12:20 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
Starting point is 00:12:36 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
Starting point is 00:12:52 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
Starting point is 00:13:10 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?
Starting point is 00:13:43 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.
Starting point is 00:13:58 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?
Starting point is 00:14:12 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?
Starting point is 00:14:32 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.
Starting point is 00:14:48 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.
Starting point is 00:15:18 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.
Starting point is 00:15:46 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?
Starting point is 00:15:54 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?
Starting point is 00:16:07 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.
Starting point is 00:16:17 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.
Starting point is 00:16:31 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.
Starting point is 00:16:42 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,
Starting point is 00:16:50 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.
Starting point is 00:16:59 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.
Starting point is 00:17:10 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.
Starting point is 00:17:22 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.
Starting point is 00:17:38 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-
Starting point is 00:17:50 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.
Starting point is 00:18:00 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

Starting point is 00:18:40 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
Starting point is 00:19:12 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?
Starting point is 00:19:29 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

Starting point is 00:20:17 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
Starting point is 00:20:28 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?
Starting point is 00:20:41 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.
Starting point is 00:20:56 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.
Starting point is 00:21:07 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
Starting point is 00:21:22 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,
Starting point is 00:21:38 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.
Starting point is 00:22:16 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.
Starting point is 00:22:25 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.
Starting point is 00:22:37 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.
Starting point is 00:23:09 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
Starting point is 00:23:32 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
Starting point is 00:24:32 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,
Starting point is 00:25:06 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
Starting point is 00:25:14 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
Starting point is 00:25:24 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.
Starting point is 00:25:35 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.
Starting point is 00:26:03 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.
Starting point is 00:26:15 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.
Starting point is 00:26:30 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
Starting point is 00:27:02 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
Starting point is 00:27:30 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
Starting point is 00:28:08 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
Starting point is 00:28:38 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.
Starting point is 00:28:53 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.
Starting point is 00:29:09 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.
Starting point is 00:29:25 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
Starting point is 00:30:02 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
Starting point is 00:30:45 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?
Starting point is 00:31:05 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
Starting point is 00:31:20 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.
Starting point is 00:32:02 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
Starting point is 00:32:28 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
Starting point is 00:32:49 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
Starting point is 00:33:06 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.
Starting point is 00:33:25 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
Starting point is 00:34:09 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.
Starting point is 00:34:45 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
Starting point is 00:34:57 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
Starting point is 00:35:10 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
Starting point is 00:35:43 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
Starting point is 00:35:59 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
Starting point is 00:36:17 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.
Starting point is 00:36:45 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
Starting point is 00:37:19 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.
Starting point is 00:37:55 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.
Starting point is 00:38:12 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.
Starting point is 00:38:35 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.
Starting point is 00:38:55 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
Starting point is 00:39:19 yeah is me sitting in my house while the premieres on i want to go though so i'm not going to give that to screw everyone else yeah all right i've been told we're in the thick of basketball season melb is heating up and there's no shortage of games to track so if you've ever wanted a smarter more fun way to stay locked in you've got to check out prize picks it's america's number one daily fantasy sports app that's how this household keeps things exciting beyond just watching sometimes it's all we do don't even actually watch and to clarify price bricks isn't gambling it's a skill-based fantasy sports app where you pick more or less on player stat projections think how many points your favorite garble drop or how many strikeouts your ace will throw lingo terminology you

Starting point is 00:40:49 light up. Prize picks, run your game. Um, okay, this piece of information is one that immediately 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.
Starting point is 00:41:15 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.
Starting point is 00:41:31 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
Starting point is 00:41:49 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
Starting point is 00:42:05 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.
Starting point is 00:42:43 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.
Starting point is 00:43:01 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.
Starting point is 00:43:35 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.
Starting point is 00:43:54 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.
Starting point is 00:44:13 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
Starting point is 00:44:32 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
Starting point is 00:44:52 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.
Starting point is 00:45:06 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.
Starting point is 00:45:24 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.
Starting point is 00:46:02 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.
Starting point is 00:46:53 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
Starting point is 00:47:27 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.
Starting point is 00:48:04 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,
Starting point is 00:48:36 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
Starting point is 00:48:51 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.
Starting point is 00:49:10 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
Starting point is 00:49:51 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
Starting point is 00:50:11 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
Starting point is 00:50:26 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.
Starting point is 00:50:43 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
Starting point is 00:51:10 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
Starting point is 00:51:51 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
Starting point is 00:52:25 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.
Starting point is 00:52:39 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.
Starting point is 00:52:55 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
Starting point is 00:53:32 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.
Starting point is 00:53:59 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.
Starting point is 00:54:20 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,
Starting point is 00:54:59 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
Starting point is 00:55:43 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.
Starting point is 00:56:21 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.
Starting point is 00:56:36 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
Starting point is 00:56:52 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
Starting point is 00:57:29 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
Starting point is 00:58:12 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
Starting point is 00:58:45 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
Starting point is 00:59:27 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.
Starting point is 00:59:52 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.
Starting point is 01:00:08 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
Starting point is 01:00:26 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.
Starting point is 01:00:41 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.
Starting point is 01:00:50 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,
Starting point is 01:01:02 I'm like, what is this? You're getting kidnapped again? Like, what is your back? And he's like, Ethan Hoss back, what?
Starting point is 01:01:07 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.
Starting point is 01:01:17 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.
Starting point is 01:01:35 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.
Starting point is 01:01:51 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?
Starting point is 01:02:06 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.
Starting point is 01:02:26 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
Starting point is 01:02:46 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
Starting point is 01:03:02 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
Starting point is 01:03:24 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.
Starting point is 01:03:48 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.
Starting point is 01:04:03 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.
Starting point is 01:04:21 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.
Starting point is 01:04:34 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.
Starting point is 01:04:44 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.
Starting point is 01:04:58 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.
Starting point is 01:05:17 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Which makes me more excited. Yeah. Oh, man. Whoa. I just can't.
Starting point is 01:05:26 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,
Starting point is 01:05:41 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,
Starting point is 01:05:55 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
Starting point is 01:06:09 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
Starting point is 01:06:25 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.
Starting point is 01:06:39 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.
Starting point is 01:06:57 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
Starting point is 01:07:19 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
Starting point is 01:07:59 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
Starting point is 01:08:44 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.
Starting point is 01:09:22 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
Starting point is 01:09:37 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
Starting point is 01:09:51 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.
Starting point is 01:10:09 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.
Starting point is 01:10:25 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
Starting point is 01:11:01 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
Starting point is 01:11:12 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,
Starting point is 01:11:20 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,
Starting point is 01:11:27 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
Starting point is 01:11:40 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,
Starting point is 01:11:57 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
Starting point is 01:12:32 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
Starting point is 01:12:47 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
Starting point is 01:13:08 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
Starting point is 01:13:53 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?
Starting point is 01:14:12 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.
Starting point is 01:14:31 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.
Starting point is 01:14:44 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.
Starting point is 01:14:53 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.
Starting point is 01:15:05 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.
Starting point is 01:15:21 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.
Starting point is 01:15:32 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.
Starting point is 01:16:04 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.
Starting point is 01:16:25 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.
Starting point is 01:16:37 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.
Starting point is 01:16:47 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.
Starting point is 01:17:01 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.
Starting point is 01:17:20 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.
Starting point is 01:17:30 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,
Starting point is 01:17:54 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.
Starting point is 01:18:14 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
Starting point is 01:18:33 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
Starting point is 01:19:16 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.
Starting point is 01:19:58 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.
Starting point is 01:20:09 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
Starting point is 01:20:27 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.
Starting point is 01:20:58 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,
Starting point is 01:21:06 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.
Starting point is 01:21:18 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

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.
Starting point is 01:22:01 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,
Starting point is 01:22:21 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
