We don't have a lot to say because we just want to probably get right into this, right? That's my happy dance. Okay, I think she's ready and I know you guys are. So, Deadpool and Wolverine commence.

Oh, boy, Tara. Wow. Well, I think we got a mid-credit and a post-credit, so we shall hang on and watch. Oh, my God. Y'all, that ending made me emotional. Lady Paul was Blake Lively. Oh, it was Blake Lively.

It was Blake Lively. Oh, my God, this is going to make me cry. I feel like emotional right now. Boy, how far we've come, huh? Oh, my God, fantastic for, oh, my goodness. Wow. It's somehow unpredictable, but in the end is right. Hope you for the time of your life.

You know, I just always felt a kind of a kinship tour. I love that shot. So take the photographs and still friends in your mind. My, how far we've come, Terry? Oh, God, I love it so much. I was there for three weeks before I shot a single thing. That first day of shooting, I was so nervous, man. Oh, I can imagine.

He wasn't even the original choice. It was Dougary Scott. detectable but in the under's right that's so cool he's playing with a wolverine toy that was cool rest in peace 20 that makes me so emotional you guys because like when i see people acting and being like in films like on set like that that's like to me when i'm on set it's like home and it's like seeing that video the reason I'm emotional it's like I love being an actor so much and like I miss being on set but also it feels like it's like a closure

to what we've been watching and it makes me like sad even though I know it's not like the end end it's just I figured I'd explain to you I'm over here crying like a baby I'm tired of these absolutely vile rumors that I got Johnny killed let's look at the tape oh god Cassandra Nova A megalomaniacal psychotic asshole And I'll tell you what she can do I'm listening My goddamn cinnamon ring clean And kick rocks all the way to bald hell

I don't give a shit if she removes all my skin And pops me like some nightmarish blood balloon If the last thing I do And this godforsaken Gutter existence is like that fox on fire I still won't die happy So good I won't be happy until I've urinated

On her freshly barbecue corpse and husks The charred remain while gargling juggernauts Jagging. Hey. Got you. Face. I love that. Definitely not your fault. So good.

I love that. Okay. Second post credit. I'm just kidding. All right. Tara. Wow. Oh my God.

Did that just happen? That just happened, man. That was unbelievable. It was so good. Tara, I think it's customary for me to let you start off. Unless you want me to. It's your choice. Maybe you should because you're.

I'm going to remember all the juice, but I just have to say real quick and then I'm going to hand it to you that the ending was everything to me. I was emotional. I started crying. I cannot believe how well written this was and how many things they added into this movie that like makes it meta and brings back and brings back characters. But then at the very end is like, remember what Logan said when he was dying. He's like, so this is what it's all about. I think that was his line, which basically meant family, and then cut to them, and Deadpool welcomes him into his family. I started crying.

I was like, I have a chosen family here in L.A. Dead Parents Club, man. I feel like everybody's dead. So when I saw that, it hit home with me, and I just cannot, I can't thank this movie enough for what it gave us in regards to action and the amazing, like, long shot at the end with, like, the choreography and the stunts that are in this, but mix. on with the writing and for us to finally get to see Deadpool and Wolverine together, like, I just can. It's just, it's a million stars. I love it.

Just a million, huh? Yeah. And the fact we got Blake lively as Lady Tedpool. Yeah. That was so cool that we found that out in the credits. But yeah, no, you made some incredible points that I completely wholeheartedly agree with. As usual, start making bad points so I can disagree with you. We can have some banter on you.

No, you make some great points. This was worth the torture of waiting and waiting. Having said that, I love this journey that we went on to getting to this point. What I appreciate about is I feel like, too, when I watch these films at home, I'm multitasking. So I don't know if I would have been paying as much attention to the rewatches as I were when I'm doing it here on the channel. So I'm appreciative of that fact. I obviously would have loved to have felt the energy of the crowd in theaters. But again, I'm still grateful I got to do this in front of you guys.

I'm with you, of course. This journey has been a lot of fun. We still, obviously, we got two more after this as well. But staying on task here, this film was incredible. And obviously, you know, when you come into a Deadpool and Wolverine film, you're going to get the normal juice. You're going to get the comedy, the meta stuff, the self-references, and like, and the action, of course.

Yeah. All that top notch. But I think, like, the thing I love the most is that counterbalance. as well, like the serious dramatic stuff was there. Yeah. And what I appreciated about that, like, I really was expecting them to go the route of, after, again, with the ending of Deadpool 2 that he, you know, went back in time, he saved Vanessa. I wasn't expecting, you know, the consequences and the ramifications to be that Wade and

Vanessa were no longer together. He kind of hit a midlife crisis. And, you know, they were, again, they'd broken up. That was an interest. was the proper and interesting route to give us a dramatic flair in this film. And I think that gives the character like no sense of purpose on why he has an existence in this world. Like Vanessa is his world. And also the group of friends that he has, that that is his world. So I think that like really just set us for our storyline and for the character as well to have an arc. And I love too that

scene he has with Happy. It was a great scene. I mean, every scene was a great scene for the most part. But the point I'm making is I love when he says to Happy, like, I need the Avengers. And when Happy says back to him, like, you shouldn't need the avenger. Or something like that. And then he said, like, you know, people need you. They need you. Yeah, something like that. Not because you need.

Yeah. And I had an inclination, which I'm sure most of you and you as well, Tara, knew that that was going to come back in regards to his character arc. And then when it comes to Wolverine, I thought, again, I really love the characterization of this character a little bit different than obviously what we had just previously gotten in the incredible. incredible Logan, but just in terms of just a very lost soul really dealing with, I think the theme of this film, for me at least, was trauma and pain and just how you deal with that. Because I think that's something we all deal with in life, unless you are living a perfect existence in which I so envy you. It's just how do we deal with that pain and depression and just, you know, how do we continue on in our life in the best possible way? And I think

this film has a good message about that. And I loved, you know, in regards to Logan, like, he wasn't there for his friends and his family, which were the X-Men. And now he's drinking himself. Whereas in Logan, you know, because of what had happened with Professor Xavier, killing the X-Men, which I'm sorry to Tara that I accidentally was talking when the radio had mentioned that. And I didn't actually know that that had happened in that scene, or I wouldn't have talked. I'm telling you that now, by the way. Yeah, yeah. But point being is like, and he was drinking himself to death in that one, whereas this one, it's kind of a little similar vibe,

although he's the responsible one here, whereas Xavier wasn't that one. So, again, I just really like this characterization. Again, phenomenal performance again. You know what you're going to get with Hugh Jackman. The guy is just so damn good as Wolverine. And again, phenomenal performance from Ryan Rellons. I think the, again, I was a little sadden that we don't get more Vanessa

just because I love the relationship and the chemistry between them. Having said that, she's not meant to be, you know, in the film as much just because of the chemistry and relationship that we need with Deadpool and Wolverine like that's the crux of the film and it works so they are so damn good together and obviously what we got with X-Men Origins Wolverine I know Deadpool was not a humongous part in that film but that saddened me what happened in that film so this is kind of like a rebound from that and I know we got that little bit of that rebound with the first two films with Deadpool but this is that major rebound from that especially with the two of them being in the centerfold here and I love that and I love

the relationship and the way that they couldn't get along at first and they are so opposite so it like it makes sense that they're not going to get along and also with dead or with weight i basically lied to get him there um and understandably so look he knew that like this guy is lost and isn't like he's drinking himself basically yeah death and all that and just unhappy in his own existence but he needs him to save his his uh friends and family in his world so he's he was desperate at that point so you understand his motivation where he's coming from. But again, I think the heart and center of this film is the chemistry and the

interactions and the relationship between Tedpool and Wolverine. It's in the damn title for Christ's sake. Yeah, I agree in you saying, like, he needed him to save him, but he also ended up saving Wolverine because at the end, when he says, I am the X-Man, like,

you're like, I'm an X-Men, and like that line coming out of him is just so iconic because in that moment you kind of feel like he has redemption like he's he's alive again like he has a sense of belonging and then they extra hit at home when it cuts to him Deadpool welcoming him into his family you're like oh my god I love it so so much um and also to bring in like the TVA was really fun to see from the top because like you have like kind of like post-traumatic stress if you watch Loki about it right it's like it's like

It's just, it's so much. So much goes on there. And I did watch the whole thing, but I don't remember a ton about it. But the way that they utilize it in this. And I loved that they picked, and I don't know his name, but the guy from Succession,

he's amazing, the guy who plays the TVA guy, who he was not in Loki. I don't believe he was the head of TV in Loki. I remember the girl is, but whatever. He was so amazing in this movie. And I love that we're dealing with, like, the sacred timeline.

And we start out with just Deadpool saying, like, I want to be an Avenger, but he really means it. You see, like, tears in his eyes. Like, that's what he really, really, really wants. And for him to kind of work through to save this timeline from being like an absolute disaster from bald lady. What's her name? From Cassandra Nova, Charles Xavier's sister. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Cassandra. She's terrific, too.

think it was, I mean, she's amazing, but I, I think it was such a fun journey to take and that the way that they take them over is through teamwork. And it's funny because like, even if Deadpool was like, I want to be an Avenger and Wolverine is like, you know, he's like, I am an X-Men. I love that. And you, with them to like be grabbing hands and to, to going like, what do you say? It was, it was dark matter and the other kind of matter. I yeah something like that two different types of matter right and I was kept thinking in my brain like they could survive this but I wasn't sure how they were exactly going to explain it and of course what he's like well you add us two together and we can kind of survive anything with Madonna playing of course exactly yeah yeah which I I loved and I mean I loved every yeah everything about it the car scene the the fight scene in the car I was so incredibly invented and amazing to look at. And that is the epitome of what people say when they say to write a good script or to see good stunts or to see a person operate where they're fighting.

You want to see a person use their environment. Use your environment when you're writing a script or when you're fighting. Use your environment. Don't just like, and that's exactly what they did. And they did it like 10 out of 10 to use the environment of the seatbelts. What is available to you in this environment that we can actually utilize in this fight scene? And they did that. And that's what made it so, so amazing to me.

I absolutely adored it. And to your point as well, like that first fight scene, we had to open the whole film that he was using the Ted Logan. Agree. Use your environment. No, that's a great point. Yeah. And you're right. Like, because, and again, Cassandra is almost an impossible, you know, in regards to her powers.

to take down. And I loved how threatening and menacing she was. And what a great performance. Like there was something like so intoxicating about her too. And sinister. Yeah. And I loved her performance. She was so good.

Yeah. Like obviously you're not rooting for her. But you're enjoying the performance. She's like the hot villain that you like love to hate. Exactly. That's the perfect way to describe her. But having said that like because at first when they're fighting her, it's just the two of them, but they're fighting her separately.

Whereas when they join forces, you know, that's when they're able to defeat her. like hand-to-hand, you know, two-on-one type of thing, but, you know, when they use the dark mat or whatever, or whatever it is that they use. And really quick, before we get into the cameos and how cool they were, I'm going to try and remember as many as I possibly can, or just all the incredible characters that we did get, rather. I got to say, that might have been, this moment I'm about to talk about here, Tara, might have been one of my favorite moments. I know, recency bias, shoot me, this might have been one of my favorite moments in cinematic history when Wolverine puts. his mask on and deadpooling him in that one shot before we cut to blind out and then the other second one shot where they're going through all the other deadpools and i was it a madonna whatever the song was that was yeah that was one of the coolest sequences ever and i've been

waiting my whole as a as a diehard wolverine fan not only have i've been waiting obviously i got my dream when we got to see the X-Men film in 2000, but I've been waiting to see him in yellow costume with the mask on and that didn't disappoint. Then you got him with Deadpool and the coolest one shot ever, then to blind out and then another one shot going through an inordinate amount of deadpools in such a sick sequence. I was dying in the best way possible. Oh, yeah.

Nerdgazm. Amazing. That's one of my favorite sequences I've ever seen on film. I mean, yes. What did you think of that sequence? Oh, that's my favorite. That just takes you back to when I watched season one of True Detective, the OG. And I remember tweeting about the season finale of that saying that is the best oneer that I have ever seen in my entire life.

And getting a ton of like traction. And then people were watching it. I was like, yeah, people like, hello. And I felt the same way about this. I love a long oneer because it takes a lot of choreography. It takes a lot of sense. up to get everything right and keep those moving parts moving so that

it looks proper on camera. You really have to, everybody's really got to be on their A game to make that shot look good and I'm just so glad that they gave us that because they gave us a tidbit of it when they were in the, uh, with

a blonde lady, what do they call where she was in the void? When they were in the void and they were in a fight, they went into a circular 360 shot that kind of stayed when they were all fighting. And I'd love that too. So they've done a really, they did a really great job of getting us like wide and master shots of them fighting

and all of them simultaneously fighting that we see them on camera. That to me is epic because you need all of them, all freaking 50 cast members to be on their A game and be fighting. So when we look into that master that we're not going to cut away from, that it has to look amazing. And I really appreciate this movie for giving us those things. For sure, because you messed up one little thing. You've got to restart the whole shot, restart the whole setup.

It takes a lot of time, if any of you who have been on set. So, you know. Let's talk about some of the other characters, cameos, other characters that we got. I'm going to name some in a second. Do you have a favorite one before we start naming off some? I mean, Laura, obviously. Like, oh, my God. That was amazing.

When I saw her shoes, I was like, remember when I said, I was like, Deadpool's friend? Because I thought it was. No, you said Logan, right? I did at first, and then I was like, oh, it's Logan's daughter. When I saw her come in, I was like, heck yes. Like, that was so fun for me. Yeah, and you know what? I was like, too, I was so happy to see her just because, like, obviously after

Logan passed away, I think for her character, too, I think it gives them some closure as well. And like, because now he's not dead and now she gets to have a conversation with him after the fact, after her soul probably ripped into a million pieces from that happening because that was her father. So it was just so, like, I was just so happy to see them back on the screen. Just also just Hugh Jackman, Daphne King, Daphene keen, however you said, sorry, if I mispronounce it. I just love seeing them together. Then you got some other really cool ones. Again, apologies if I don't remember every single one, but we'll see what I can name off.

That was awesome seeing Thor for us half a second there holding Deadpool, kind of like he did with Loki and Thor, the Dark World. You had Blade, Wesley Snipes. You have not seen the Blade films, have you? I haven't. So we got to get you seeing the Blade films. But I knew, like, when he came in, that I was like, oh, that is Blade. And I knew the one little piece of information that Ryan Reynolds had been in it. So I got the connection.

Right, right. And there was a line in there. Again, it's not a spoiler, but just he hated Ryan, Ryan, not in real. I mean, I don't know if he hated him in real life. No, they did not get along on the set. I just know Wesley Snipes, when making Blade Trinity, he just hated everyone in general. Ryan Reynolds said it was really hard work. Yeah, well, everyone couldn't stand.

Snipe's in that film. Okay. Maybe he's grown up now. But in the film, too, again, not really a spoiler. He just couldn't stand his character. He just thought he was a goofball. Right. It's Ryan Rohn.

So point being is where he says, I don't really like you. I still don't like you, whatever the line was. I'm like, that was such a self-reference. It's so great. So, like, I understood that right away. But I love that. Then we got Elektra back from Daredevil 2003 and from Elektra with Jennifer Gardner.

That was awesome. And flame on. And, oh, my God. I love that we both. thought it was Captain America. Because we saw the shield in the desert before, remember? Yeah. And we also saw, not only in the desert, we also saw

on Happy Hogan. There was the prototype shield that we had seen in Iron Man 2 when Phil Colson had come in and Tony Stark said, hand me that, I need this to complete this. So so many Easter eggs in Happy Hogan's office, by the way. Reject Nation. I never really consider myself a sports

guy. I know so many people who are in this sports. Some of people who watch this channel are into sports. My wife, into sports. Sometimes it feels emasculating while she yells at the TV and I don't know what's going on why that feels emasculating that's more to do with me than her that's for sure but anyway the peer pressure got me to find a way to find fun with sports and if you're looking for a fun and simple way to get into daily fantasy sports let me introduce you to prize picks it's america's number one daily fantasy app with over five million active members and honestly it's the only one i've ever used

but for everyone who i know who has used fantasy sports thingies before says this is the easiest one they've ever used my wife included and the misses is never wrong all you do is pick more or less on player stat projections. Like how many yards your favorite QB? That's nice for a quarterback, by the way. We'll throw, or how many points a star player will score? You can pick between two and six players, and if you get them right, you win. Even I can comprehend this, and I'm not the smartest guy.

And like I said, it's easy to get started, and it's easy to use. A lot of emphasis on the easy. Here's one easy example. So at the time of recording this, we just bet on Jordan Love, Jaden Reed, and Joe Burrow. Consulted with John. John knows more about sports than me. So really, this was his decision. So let's see if he take this whole operation.

or if we're filthy rich now, great thing if one of your players ever gets injured. Price picks has an injury insurance policy. I could use some health insurance in my own life.

We got to see. That was great. I'm trying to think. Who else did we get to see? We got to see Piro, who was, we saw Pyrone 1, but that was not the same actor. He was in X2, X-Men United, and X-Men the last stand. Same actor. Who else?

him as to replace Friday Night Lights guy, which I loved. And I loved because I was like, what is going on with his accent? This is the worst. And it was obviously on purpose to have that really great joke that Deadpool is like, who is your dialect coach? What the F is going on here, which I loved. Yeah, no, that was awesome. And it was interesting too, because in real life,

I think he's either engaged or married to Zoe Kravitz. And Zoe Kravitz played Angel, who was in X-Men first class. So a little connection there as well. I think we might have seen Angel, but we obviously got to see Azazzo. We saw a juggernaut. It wasn't Vinny Jones. And this one was a different. And it wasn't the same juggernaut we got in Deadpool 2.

By the way, did you know that was Ryan Reynolds voicing that Deadpool and Deadpool 2? Oh. He was voicing juggernaut in Deadpool 2. Really? I kept saying, Ella, I was like, who's voicing juggernaut? It sounds so familiar. Oh, it's him. Amazing.

And I found out it was Ryan Reynolds. I did not know that. Guess who told me that? Who? Rumi. Aaron told me. When I got home, I was like, Aaron, Taryn and I just watched Deadpool Tune. I was like, I couldn't for the life of me tell who was voicing jugger night.

It sounded so familiar. It goes, Andrew. It was Ryan Reynolds. That makes sense. It sounded so familiar. But yeah, I'm trying to think, are there any other cameos that I'm missing? Because there were just so many incredible ones. Piro you already talked about, right?

I talked about Piro. I'm going to get, I'm going to just start getting ready for the Trubon. I think we got through. Yeah. I think we got through most of them. Yeah, well, if we missed any, you let us know the time. Let us know what your favorite cameo or character, which one was your favorite? And obviously, we had some of the regulars, Negasonic Teenage Warhead.

We had Colosses. Hi, Yukyu. You had her. Yeah. We only got a second of Dopender. I would have more screen. I know. He didn't really have many lines in this, nor any at all.

But I did love seeing his face and seeing him as part of Deadpool's core. his family, his nine people. And how about Peter, the MVP? Oh, my God. I love Peter so much. Dogpool. Dogpool was great. Amazing.

I love that Blake Lively was Ladypool. At first I was going to say, maybe it's Jennifer Lawrence. Like, she sounded like Jennifer Lawrence in the very first line that she delivered. And I was like, hold up. Because Andrew was like, it was maybe going to be Taylor Swift. And I was like, that would make sense because Taylor Swift is best friends with Blake Lively. And I think Jennifer Lawrence hangs out.

with them like I could be wrong about the Jennifer Lawrence hanging out with those two but I know those two are best buddies I swear to God they're a trio and I kept I was like his lady pool Jennifer Lawrence or Taylor Swift or Blake lightly but we figured it out like oh we did miss a couple okay what is it the Calvoreen okay Henry Cavill is Wolverine oh yeah dog that was amazing I want to see that so bad that was great and he looked amazing yeah if you Jackman doesn't somehow continue into the MCU, which I still would love if he's game to, because I will always love you, Jackman. Until you're 90.

The MCU will make you. I would love to see Henry Cavill. Me too. That was awesome. I was not expecting that. That was a lot of fun. Tyler Main is Sabretooth. And I love that they acknowledged he was his brother because it was only his brother when

Leaves Schreiber was his brother in X-Men Origins Wolverine. And they kind of, again, it's not the writer's fault from X-Men 2000 because they didn't know that they were going to do that three films later. So, but I love the acknowledgement. That's why when I said, I was like, oh, his brother. But you were like, oh, it's the other one. So I was glad they kind of said it too. Yeah, I'm just seeing if there's any other characters that we miss.

It looks like that's most of them. Yeah. I think we did. Yep. Ladypool Blake lively. She was just the voice. Oh, wow. Nathan Thillion.

Yep. Matthew McConaughey. Oh, it was him. So I said, you called it. It just sounded like it. It was funny too because when we watched Deadpool 2 and we had Alan Tudick and when we had Matt Damon, I said one of them sounds like Matthew McConaughey. I guess that was foreshadowing for us.

Totally you were. Yeah. But I'm trying to see here. Oh, Nathan Fillion was also one of the polls. Oh, my God. I love Nathan Fillion so much. He's a great actor. I'm just trying to see if there's any other big actors.

He's the best. Okay, it looks like that was all that. So now we're going to go into trivia. Anything really quick before we go into trivia that you'd like to say? No, let's do it. All right. We shall go right into trivia. Hugh Trackman said he really was done playing the character of Wolverine after Logan, understandable.

He then said he regretted that statement after watching the first Deadpool movie and expressed to Ryan his interest in the two characters meeting on the big screen. When asked why he chose to return for this film, he simply said, I just chose wanted to do it. And I felt it in my gut. Adding that he wanted to have the best possible time ever on a movie set together with Ryan Reynolds. Likewise, Reynolds wanted to work alongside Jackman since the first Deadpool film and was sadden when he, Jackman, retired from the role.

Oh, yeah. I love that, that they came together. Also, too, this film was kind of about redemption. It was kind of a redemption for them after X-Men Orchins Wolverine. Totally. So, I mean, with the, yeah. Ryan Reynolds said that he and the makers purposely asked for a lower budget than Disney was prepared to offer them,

remembering that the first Deadpool was such a success because they had constant time and budget limitations, which fostered an atmosphere for great. creativity. Oh. I love that. That is, that's, I love that piece of trivia. Yeah, Ryan Reynolds. He's so, he's such a good dude. Kevin Feigey was originally against bringing back Hugh Jackman as Wolverine as he was concerned that doing so would undermine the events of Logan. Oh, yeah. A movie Feigey held in very high esteem. We all do. Yeah, he eventually relented once it was confirmed that this film would focus on a different variant of Wolverine. Yes, it's a different time.

yeah combined with jackman really wanting to return to the role his only stipulation for jackman coming back was that logan had to be depicted in his classic yellow and blue costume thank you thank you thank you had the mask awake i was so good love that uh hugh jackman said and i quote i was on my way i was just driving literally just like a bolt of lightning came this knowing deep in my gut that i wanted to do this film with ryan for deadporn wolverine to come back together i swear to you when i said i was done i really thought I was done. But in the back of my head, ever since I saw Tidpool one, I was like, those two characters together, I knew it. I knew the fans wanted it ever since I put on the claws. People talked about it, these two. So that had always been there, but I just knew, and I literally couldn't wait to arrive. As soon as I arrived, I rang Ryan, and I just said, let's do it. Like I hadn't rung my agent, no one. I had to ring my agent and said, oh, by the way, I've just committed to a movie. I'm sure the agent went

What movie Hugh Tell us Oh it's Deadpool and Wolverine Okay that's cool Hell yeah I still get 10% right Because even though you found the movie I just made that a part up by the way

Hugh Jackman had to bulk Back up into Wolverine Did he really? I couldn't tell I'm glad they told us that I was like dang He's older and he has better bodies Than like 20 year old's actually I would imagine a lot of dehydration too

Hugh Jackman had to bulk back up into Wolverine shape, although he'd maintain a fitness regimen for health reasons. He slimmed down due to singing and dancing for eight shows a week in revival of the music man, which they mentioned in this. And he needed to gain a large amount of muscle mass in the short gap between the end of the musical run and the start of physical photography. I can't imagine how hard that was. He is such a hard worker. He's committed.

I love him. I'll read two more regulars and then we'll do two or three spoilers. We'll call it. Kevin Feigy served as an associate producer on X-Men 2,000. and was present at Hugh Jackman's original audition for Wolverine. Fagie said for Hugh Jackman and for me, and I think for all the fans of Marvel, it's unbelievable what has happened in 23 years.

To have Hugh come back is incredible. For me, personally, that is where I started. It was his first onset audition, and he flew up to Toronto to do a read with Anna Pacquin. I remember sitting behind the camera, well behind the camera, at his audition. It's a very full circle, having him come back in his new Deadpool film,

in this new Deadpool film. I love that so much. That is. That's really cool. That's got to be so surreal for both of them. Just like, look how far we've come. Just both of our careers. 23 years.

Yeah. All right. Two more and then we'll go to two or three spoilers and we'll call it. Vinny Jones was approached to reprise his role as Juggernaut from X-Men the Last Stand, but he turned it down because, and I quote, it's such a drama putting that suit on. The new Juggernaut wearing Jones's suit is played by Aaron W. Reed, who played dude and free guy starring Ryan Rehn.

Oh, yeah. That's cool. Yeah, that's great. It's like that guy did look familiar. Yeah. Let's see. Captain America, Brave New World, which comes out next year, and Blade, which was supposed to come out next year, were both delayed to 2025 due to extensive reshoots and the strikes, leaving this as the sole MCU film in 2024. It is the first year with a single MCU film since 2012 with The Avengers. Oh, wow.

Yeah. The strikes did us dirty, y'all. All right. One more regular, and then we'll do spoilers. J. Fear, a terminally ill 45-year-old Rexum, an FC fan, a football club which Ryan Reynolds co-owns in Wales. Yes, I watch it.

Religously. Got to meet Reynolds at the Rexum v. Bohemwood League match in April 2020, thanks to a charity called Bucket List Wishes who were contacted by nurses looking after Mr. Fear. At the meeting, Reynolds gave him one of the gloves from his Deadpool costume

and arranged for him to visit the Deadpool and Wolverine film set at Pinewood Studios. Mr. Fear died the following month. Reynolds posted a heartfelt tribute to him via social media. Oh, that's so sweet. Ryan. All right, let's do a couple of spoilers.

Okay. God, there's so many. Let's see. What we got here? Spoilers. While Elektra, Jennifer Gardner, Blade, Wesley Snipes, and Gambit, Channing Tatum talk about returning to their respective universes.

Gambit notes that he's uncertain about having a universe to return to. And the fact that he might even be born into the void, This refers to the unproduced Gambit film starring Tatum, which was in development hell for years before Disney officially canceled the project in 2019. I remember for so long they were talking about making that movie. I was like, just make it or cancel it already. Also, that reminds me when Electra, when they bring up Daredevil, they're like, he's not around or whatever.

And she's like, it's fine. I was like, oh, sick burn to Ben Affleck. Yeah. The giant Ant Man Hideout is an homage to Pim Falls, a location from the old man Logan comic that was a settlement based around the skeleton of a giant fallen ant man. Cool.

That looks dope. Yeah. Last one. James Mangold, the director and co-writer of Logan, was consulted on the script to ensure that it didn't interfere with his film. He was pleased that this film would bring back the latter

without interfering with the ending of this film. I'm glad that they at least got his blessing. And he said, disrespects my film without doing anything that interferes with it. Yeah. You're good. Because that film is amazing. Oh, that's one of the best.

One of the best films ever. Yeah. Or one of the best dramas with a comic book character in it. We'll say that. Yeah. Anyways, guys, this has been an amazing journey. We're not done yet. I know it's weird to say after Deadpool and Wolverine. We still got Darth Phoenix and the New Munes, y'all.

We still got those two. We are going to get to it. So don't worry. So continue to join us for those films. If you're still with us up to this point, we appreciate you sticking with us. Go get your Rejectnation Shop.com. Go get your gear, y'all. It's perfect for the spooky season.

Oh, look out now. It's got to be Ian Simon. It's you. Can you imagine the variants that are just lurking around in the void? of all the other Ian Simons. Dude, so many great Ian Simons. Name five. Cheerleader Ian Simon.

Wow. What's their personality type? Cheery. Okay. Cool. What's the next one? Skin turned inside out, Ian Simon. Oh, my God.

What's Ian Simon's based human emotion? Ian Simon's based human emotion is lust. Lust. That makes a lot of sense for that version of Ian Simon. Absolutely. Definitely. Just get all of the pink bits out. You still got three more to go, John, who are the other ones?

Absolutely. Ian Simon, but he's just like a little taller than normal. Wow. I mean, does he have a dad? Yes, he does in this iteration, but there are a few other tall variants that don't have dad. Fascinating. And some of them have two or three dads. Well, who's the fourth one? The fourth one is one of two dads Ian Simon. Oh, my God.

Because he's another, you know, he's co-parenting with another guy. Does this increase Ian Simon's flexibility? It definitely does. This is also the Ian Simon that's best. at yoga this very I would expect nothing less there's got to be a fifth one there's always a fifth one

the multi-vers is endless John and it's the one where Ian Simon is Ryan Reynolds but he's inside out and he's also a dad does he have a girlfriend he's one of two dads he has a girlfriend

oh yeah I knew it uh in this timeline there are other Ian Simon Ryan Reynolds that are inside out that don't have a girlfriend but this one that's inside out and that's also a little taller than usual and is Ryan Reynolds

also has a girlfriend and is a dad. That's amazing. Yeah. Is his wife nice to people in interviews? Absolutely, because his wife is another variant of Ian Simon. This makes a lot of sense. And their kid is another Ian Simon variant. It's a whole pocket universe paradox.

They'll bring Ryan Rounds with kids in this. Ian Simon, you are a decent human being, and I hope that you enjoyed John's shoutouts of the various versions of you. May the Lord be with you. And also with you. Thank you.
