Oh my God, citizens. Citizens of the Reject Nation, you know what to do. Let us know if we are live, if you can hear us, if you can see us. It is a Friday morn afternoon now, in fact, as we are recording this, had a couple delays. Chaos ensued. Had an experience with the Amazon man I've never had before. I've never been requested a password upon delivery. I know.

The future is scary. It is. Well, it's also very archaic, though. I was like, oh, we have to answer some riddles or something. It was just numbers, though. But like, it's like, you can't hack just random six numbers. We had no power. That's true.

And then, like, I've never seen it in my life. All right, gang. Sound off. I see a few of you already in the chat. Appreciate y'all arriving. It's the middle of summer. You know, there are a lot of movies out. There are a lot of things brewing.

But I feel like the biggest news we have had this week has been DCU related. There's been a lot of that lately. James Gunn out here touching on that secret Superman follow-up project. He was teasing. We finally know what that is. This is going to be the biggest story of the day. But we've got a couple of things to talk about as well. There's some peripheral DCU details, little Spider-Man stuff. We got a lot of trailers out this week. And hey, whatever you guys are most interested in, I know there was also a D-23 with some announcements and whatnot. But before we get in, Coitus, how you doing?

Real tired, John. What? When? How? Real tired. I had an amazing, like two and a half days. The fiancé surprised me of the trip to Big Bear. Hey, I was delightful.

I love the Big Bear. I need the Big Bear. And I'd never stayed right by the lake. I only stayed like up in the hill. Like, it was really beautiful. And I'm just so tired. Like, I worked up until the minute I left. Like, I had to film a thing right here.

You help me with. And then literally drove there. And then it was only. two days so it's kind of like you land you settle and then you pack up and you leaf uh and now i'm literally got back last night at like midnight and uh back to it but uh it was amazing to breathe real air and to just be surrounded by green and she knows me very well so she like picked out a bunch restaurants you know i'd like and like had a planned hike already mapped out she crushed it it was an amazing birthday trip uh my birthday is next week but i'm gonna be out of town uh oh my yeah so

I'm here, which means Greg is not. He is getting some much-needed R&R with Olivia out in the, you know, mountainous regions. It's good to go to the mountains. And so, yeah, we are here. We did a lot of prep work, you know, to get that together. We've been filming. A lot of shoots this week, a lot of filming. And, you know, so I've settled in.

I'm watching after the cats half the time. I'm here the other half of the time. And it's good. I'm a little loopy today. I've never been this excited for the slow season I'm ready for like the fall and winter

I like usually dread when it slows down slow down slow down slow down slow down further even let's slow down to a molassesian trickle yeah I'm ready for like the holiday season and vibes man for sure for sure well all right

let's let's hop into our top story of the day because I know y'all folks out here let's shout out some people in the chat actually really quick we got just Tyler Connor Mullis We got Randy Fonsois, Morty Smith, hey, celebrity in the chat, which Morty are you? Blaster, Master, lazy boy, glass ghost, Enigobada, let's see, J-616 from Earth, 616, love to see it. Manassess Nascimento, that's a cool ass name, Jimithee, yeah, Dante Woodbeck, Z only 420.

do this thing. Oh, G. Carlos, thank you guys so much for tuning in. And like I said, if you guys have any particular bits of news that you want to hear our thoughts about or just throw your thoughts into the mix about, you know, get those out our way. You can throw them into the chat. You can also throw them into the super chats or the stream labs link, which is pinned to the comment. We don't end the stream without reading those. But yeah, with these, you know, news live streams, we're going to start with a few stories and then we're going to hop into questions. so get ready if your question

doesn't get answered right away don't worry because it's coming coitus do you hear about James Gunn it broke

bright and early in the morning I saw it within 30 seconds of the post and it was the first time I said

boundaries coi you're not going to report on this you're going to take a screenshot you're going to throw on

Instagram and you're going to go back to sleep and it felt real good and I'm going to start doing that

more often I'm not I'm not a doctor on a pageer anymore but I have a lot of thoughts and I have a

haven't gotten to say them yet. I was about to ask so you have no thoughts. Oh, I had an immediate five minute video and I was like, no, I'm going back to sleep. But this is the first time I've shared my thoughts. I think man of tomorrow refers to both Lex Luthor and Superman. And I think it is going to be a film wherein Lex Luthor and Superman have to temporarily, reluctantly team up. I don't think it's going to last. But I think the man of tomorrow in question is not just Lex Luthor, but he will be the key victory element of the film. I think it's going to be a Brainiac film.

I think Lex Luthor is the Man of Tomorrow. And I think it's incredible. We're getting it within two years. See, that's interesting because we watch The Man of Tomorrow animated movie. And that's a parasite story, largely. So everyone's staying Brainiac.

I know Brainiac because you guys have talked on this very podcast about the likelihood and the want for Brainiac. Yeah. Why in this iteration? I think it's a very, linear path of like hyper-intelligence to Lex Luthor, an alien entity threat, paralleling Superman. It gives Lex an opportunity to say, see, I was right, but not completely right.

I also feel like it's a character we've wanted in a Superman film for the longest. I think that no villain has been as loudly expressed that we haven't seen in all of DC as Brainiac. Like, I feel like that's the guy. I also think it's interesting that Supergirl Woman of Tomorrow is now just called supergirl so it paved the way for this to be man of tomorrow um i think it's a bold choice to not call it superman to man of tomorrow it's nice to because we have a superman too like you know chris for eve superman too so i wanted personally i always wanted them to do uh like when andrew garfield's movie came out have the first one be amazing spider man the next one be peter parker spider man the third to be spectacular spider man like the comics set a precedent i was wanting that to be the situation

i would love if they start doing that with dc where the first film is the title character, and then the second film can start to be their more comic-y thing. So if this goes like Superman, Man of Tomorrow, I don't even know what the third one could be like Big Blue or like Batman goes into Cape Crusader. Like you've got a lot of these fun titles you could play with. Brave and the Bold is already one of those, like with Batman, depending on what they end up doing. So I just think it's really fun to lean to the comics. I also want to give, you know, some flowers to the fact that three iconic comic artists got

to be the announcement. We had a piece from Jim Lee, a piece from the Great Mitch Girard's, a piece from Dan Mora, three artists I adore got to be the announcement. I love that James Gunn leaned so heavily into the comic books as the announcement. And just with he, Nick Holt and David Cornswet sharing, so that's the, I think that's the, I can't quite see it. If you can get that a little embigand, that is the gym. That is Jim Lee's piece there. It's going to be up on the screen moments. I'll flash this up on the screen.

But just with James Gunn, Nicholas, and David sharing these images, and all we know is the title, the release date, that's huge, because this is going to be in theaters in less than two years. This is July 2027. That is a staggering turnaround. One of the fastest turn rounds I've ever heard. But we saw what they did with Superman. That movie filmed, you know, in about a year and was wrapped for a year of visual effects. If they can set that same time frame, I'm just really impressed they were able to get the schedule going this quickly. so that means 2027 is what secret wars the Batman Superman to come out before the Batman is July 9th yeah Batman's in October he did a whole movie but twixt but that man like writes like a fiend like you know he's got he did peacemaker Crooge Commandos and Superman wrote that all in one year 650 pages of writing so I think this is great I'm super excited and I I do think him calling it like

a Superman family project then announcing it as man at tomorrow makes me think there is a bit of a nod towards the man of tomorrow being Lex. I was going to say the quote here says, I've already finished the treatment for the very next story in what I'll call the quote, Superman saga. This is James Gunn talking to the Hollywood Reporter for the premiere of the peacemaker season two. He said, I'm working on that and hopefully going into production on that

not too far away from today. He also went on social media to clarify that this is not a Superman sequel. What on earth does that mean? Sounds to me like... Is this part one of a Lex Luthor movie? I mean, Lex Luthor Man of Steel is what Nicholas based his portrayals so much off of. I don't think they'd call it Lex Luthor, colon, man of tomorrow, but I think the implication might be that it's not a Superman sequel because it's a Lex Luthor film.

Wow. Because then it's Lex Luthor Man of Tomorrow implied, but still call it Man of Tomorrow for the Superman pull. I think it's going to be cheeky what the title is. Like how the title is, but we know the time. James Gunn seems like the kind of guy who likes to... you know, mess with people that way or to do something that, yeah, clearly function as one thing, but also actually it's alluding to another. And Lex is clearly the hero of his own story. And I like

that Nicholas plays him with such determination. I could see a story from his perspectiveish. Okay, okay. And the mex suit? Uh, max suit's coming. I mean, come on. Like, we see in those three, those pieces of art. Like, we're getting the actual Lex Luther full. I mean, I could see the second one ending with like Lex Luther for president. I could see this being like a really cool trilogy. That changes protagonists. I can see this, you know, being a kind of one, two, three punch with Supergirl. What's really crazy is, you know, we didn't have a Superman movie forever. We didn't get a Superman sequel in even longer, but we're going to have three super films in two years. That's crazy. Like Superman, Supergirl, Superman, too, effectively. I know James said

down Superman, too. I apologize. Man of Tomorrow. But now we got people in the chat saying that it's like a semi-sequel. I don't know. I mean, I think it'll be a continuation. Super Family Saga. Yeah. Let's call it that. It's in the super family. And there are franchises within that franchise.

Yeah. So I'm excited about it. Like this is really, I mean, this is a huge announcement to just have, you know, dropped this. I think it's the biggest new DC announcement since the big slate. Some people are speculating that, uh, that Superman, Lex are going to team up, stop Brainiac. And then Lex is going to use that to run for president.

Yeah. I feel like there's going to be an element of, of self-serving in the team up that, you know, Superman is going to be too altruistic to see. And I mean that, obviously stacks up really nicely if you're going to have lex luther face off against anybody i guess brainiac is the one yeah who's if it's not superman you know it's one intellect person another parasite could be great i just don't see that's tying into lexas cleanly yeah no for sure like it seems like something kind of i i don't know it doesn't seem like the villain he would be pitted against

as his like you know because it's so much strength versus wit yeah yeah yeah and and i don't know there's no real parasite isn't intellectual at all right like we're not really It's a literal parasite. He's purple, which is like his color. Purple is cool. I do like purple things. That's the only real connection. I do like purple things.

Do we think we're going to see Lobo in this movie, too? In that? You know, Supergirl, I think, will be not the last we see of Lobo. I could see Lobo being a consistent nuisance. I don't know if you'd want, you know, to have him in the next two super projects back to back. But I think it would kind of depend on the impression he leaves in Supergirl. I think it's going to be really interesting. You know, Supergirl's already wrapped.

and doesn't come out for another year, that's a lot of time to do test audiences to see how the character goes to do all those things. So, I mean, you never know. I assume a Supergirl might show up The Man of Tomorrow.

Like, I could see it being a super family. Why would that ever happen? This cousins, they don't talk. They hate each other. But, I mean, we're growing out that corner of the universe feels a lot like Iron Man did well. Iron Man 2 come out real quick.

You know, Superman does well, Man of Tomorrow comes out real quick and Supergirl in the middle. This is such a DC, confidence. Like this shows so much like, hey, we're going to do this. Absolutely. It's interesting. I see a comment here in the chat from Enigo Bada saying, feels like James Gun Greenlights his projects without the same seriousness as the other projects. What do you guys think? I imagine you mean like without the same level of scrutiny.

That's a good question because obviously he is the head or half the head and, you know, a creative head at that. So he has the ability to fast track his stuff. What do you feel about that? I think that he knows what he wants the universe to be and I think he tends to write in the way that he thinks that you don't know like it's I I don't disagree that those projects are moving faster but I think it's because if you've got a certain amount of parameters that you want in your films and a certain amount of setup in a certain amount of world building you yourself would write that into the thing you are writing so if he's got a certain goal of like you know set up XYZ when he's writing he can do that and when he's reading other people's scripts it's going to be like hey tweak this change. this that's why I think the else world is so important is because it's not going to be as required for the puzzle pieces um I do think that the big slate announcement obviously things have shifted with the strike and with time and and scripts not going and moving and certain things you want but it's also a matter of you make the biggest superhero movie of the year in 2025 you have the opportunity to make the sequel to it and to your turnaround do that and also move other projects are wrong but

I don't know if it's quite as selfish as the, I don't know if he's implying of the selfishness, but I do see how it would be advantageous to strike while the iron is hot on the things that are already working before even. And if he's the one writing it, then of course, that's what's going to happen first. Yeah, it's like you want as much diversity within DC as you can get to cover as many demographics and stuff. But yeah, with the success of Superman, it would almost seem foolish not to, you know, move straight ahead on a follow-up that is directly related to that with.

David Cornswood with Nicholas Holtz so that you can keep that momentum growing to bolster everything else that's coming in and to give you some more latitude to have things that maybe aren't going to be quite as, you know, tent pole, you know, flagship gangbustery, you know, for whatever conversation about how much Superman has made, it seems like it's made enough. Yeah. And, you know. I also think it's establishing the tone of the universe, right? Like you want as much of the tone that you're trying to set as possible.

I've talked a lot about the spinner rack feeling of Superman into peacemaker into Clayface into Supergirl like that's so cool that we get such different tones but you still do need anchor points Iron Man and Iron Man too happened before

Avengers and that established Iron Man has a very important tone and piece of the puzzle Captain America you know Thor we're going to need those elements coming in but we still need to make sure we really make you know the super part which is so iconic to D.C. that doesn't traditionally get as much time in the sun as Batman. I love

Batman. He's my second favorite character. But this Superman has made me love Superman more than any other adaptations, save for Smallville, and that had 10 years of time to do it. This, I think, is really smart to show the Superman element of DC and really double down on that. So I like that, you know, we get three and two years. I think it's really fun for D.C. to capitalize on their most flagship character that hasn't been a flagship character. because of Batman being so popular. Yeah. Like, I want Batman.

I'm not saying no Batman. I'm just saying, we're going to have multiple Batman. So do two Superman movies before you got two, two Batman's, you know? Like, I just think it's smart to... I have another question here from Tutorial Slave. Do you think Superman will take somewhat of a backseat

post-superman saga popping up here and there or is gone fully aware that he needs to keep him essentially omnipresent going forward? I think omnipresent. I think he's going to be a big factor in Justice League in whatever iteration that becomes. I don't know when or how the justice this gang becomes the league.

I don't know when the team up, but I do think he needs to be a huge factor in that, especially with how much we have found this very beloved tone from a lot of people. Like, a biggest superhero movie the year, when superhero films aren't doing as well, when movies in general aren't doing as well, I think you go,

well, we've got this very popular character. Like, it would be, I don't think would make sense to temper that. Like, you wouldn't go, this is working less of it. You got to leave the people wanting more, boy so much so you never give them what they want shang chi too hey shang chi was one of the first comments on james guns twitter posts yeah the little thumbs up whatever that was yeah yeah yeah i want

a shang chie too for us and the people that love the character that's a great example of like it was working a shang chish is working his ass off in what if and marvel zombies true true and he's he's out there's true he is a ken you know what they got a good coterie of kens yeah got him they got Chutti Gatwa. Yeah. Like, let's just get a Kenverse spin-off. I mean,

I would love a Barbie sequel that's about Ken, but I think that would kind of validate many of its concerns in universe. It's got an Allen movie. Yes. Also, I see some super chats.

I've already started to pop up. Thank you guys. We will get to all of your burning questions shortly. Although, I mean, I'm previewing some of these. And we'll save them for now, because this will be a good.

chance to kind of like return and uh and look at some stuff i also have a theory from bandit zero one in the chat brainiac has the city of candor and supergirl wants to live there but superman knows brainiac has other plans for kara and then supergirl fights superman and lex luther i have a feeling as coy has been talking about that lex may not be quite as on the villainous end of the spectrum for this particular story but i would love to see the shrunken city of candor i think candor play role i don't know about supergirl fighting superman but I do think Kandor will be a factor. Yeah.

I think it's a very safe bet that ideas in Supergirl are set up for Kandor and then it pays off. I love that motif. Yeah. It's a little tiny city. I love when they celebrate in the animated movies when like something good happens for Kandor's a little fireworks inside the bubble. I also, I mean, like if you think about it, zooming out, we're going to have a Superman movie a year after Supergirl. Damn. That's just so fast to think about what you set up in.

world can pay off so quickly. I love how fast this is. I'm very excited. All right. All right. Well, save nothing for suspense. Just give it to us all right now, Jimithy. But it's a confidence thing. It's, you know, people are going to probably argue like, well, I said take your time with Batman. But that's because they didn't feel they had the scripts done. Like they, the writers wanted time and they got it. This feels like the opposite. It feels like the script is where it wants to be. Make it quickly. So I think it's all very situational, but it shows different writing styles, different, you know, plans for the universe and everything else. So the fact that we're getting Man of Tomar before The Batman 2, I'm excited for both projects and I'm excited both got the chance to get what they needed. Yeah, absolutely.

I don't think James Gunn would rush a film sequel to something unless he was very confident in the script. Oh, as he said, he's got like a 64-odd page treatment or something like that. And that was weeks ago. Yeah, just translating into his script now. So, I mean, he seems like a guy who really fleshes stuff out. Like, I am curious because it's, it seems like a movie that's going to involve two characters who are, you know, known for their brilliant minds. So it has to be a really smart movie. And not to say that his movies of the past haven't been smart, but I feel like this context requires a leveling up of, like, the intricacy and the intelligence.

Yeah. You know, as well as, you know, the spectacle and the emotion, which I think you would also need to get more of. in sort of eyelining Lex Luthor. I also think it's a great opportunity because we just met so many characters to flesh them out more. Like I've wanted more daily planet. I'm sure that'll be a factor.

But we also don't have to origin everyone. Yeah. Like there wasn't an origin. He's got a list of origins not to mess with it anymore. And I like that. Like I like that we've met them now. We can just further their story. And we didn't need to see him become Superman.

He was already Superman. But now we can keep going pushing it forward. I would love more movies to have a fast turnaround when they feel they can. absolutely oh we got us a segue i wish i the thing about not being behind the other table today is i can't use the soundboard we got a segue we got a segue uh Joshua owens wants to know what do you guys think of the clay face situation and the version of his story they'll go for we just got some set photos revealing among other things a map of the DCU's gotham city uh which you know people are very excited

about fueling on more of these Batman discussions about, you know, how many Batman's and when. But, yeah, look, I'll try and flash it up on the screen here for you guys. And we got a Gotham confirmed. What's the latest on Clayface? I love seeing the actor, you know, some of the practical effects. I haven't looked at a ton of it because it doesn't quite feel like Spider-Man, where it feels like they hired the greatest photographers in Scotland. Yeah, like these feel like, do like, you know, theft shots.

so it's not really my jam versus the advertising shots I'll share all day. But we do. I did see a couple shots of practical effects on the actor they cast as Clayface. I did see, yeah, and it looks awesome. I did see some police cars that have very different logos and iconography than the Batman, hopefully, finally getting people to accept their two Batman's. But all of it is very noir and very intense. And I'm very excited about the potentiality of, you know, introducing the world of, you know, introducing the world of the DCUs Gotham like we physically see

with Clayface that's really exciting like the idea of a villain bringing us this world an R-rated mid to low budget film bringing us Gotham is super exciting to me and that's next year like I know people wanted to you know spend all year talking about superhero fatigue but man I'm not feeling fatigue right now Batman next year like a new Gotham next year

yes yes we got the Gotham Harbor there's the Gotham River the reservoir Upper East Side Coven Terry. We've got the Upper West. We've got Crime Alley, the Bowery, Newtown. A lot of other numbered sites. The Diamond District, the Fashion District, the Narrows. All of the Narrows. Old Gotham, Chinatown, the Financial District. A lot of fun details on this map here. And I'm wicked excited for that movie. Like, it's weird. There's not a whole lot of, like, direct, like, here's what's happening in the movie. Right. Detail yet, but I don't know. I'm excited to see this side. the horror side, a Mike Flanagan. A Mike Flanagan.

Even if he's not directing it, you know it's going to be something that's like well-fleshed out, probably very Gothic. But also I'm excited to see something that's like monster-oriented. It's going to be kind of icky, body horrorish almost.

And an R-rated debut for Gotham. I know. That's exciting in itself. Ain't your grandpappy's Gotham's here. Yeah. And then a DCU that can support like crypto-existing. I'm so excited at how they balance this tone, what that even looks like, and then the next year, The Batman 2.

That is another kind of reason I'm excited for. A very quick turnaround on Man of Tomorrow is we will have two Gothams back to back, 2026, 2027. I'm glad we get to also have a ton of Metropolis because Supergirl 1 of Tomorrow the comic is very cosmic. It's very space-based. So to have Metropolis get two iterations and two different Gothams, we're just eating so good that these announcements just have me excited.

In the neighborhood. I'm trying to see. here. There's some, a lot of images of cars and stuff right now from the Clayface. Yeah, all the markings and stuff really just, that's the thing that separates it from, you know, clearly the DCU, DC Batman. Oh my God,

Metropolis's finest coffee now in Gotham? Whoa, jitters! This is gonna be crazy. Who's playing Clayface? An actor, I don't know. Tom Reese Sumpth, he's a handsome, well-bone-structured young chap. That's what we like to hear. You know,

that way it hurts when we see him melt away into Clayface, he loses those beautiful cheekbones. But yeah, I don't know the actor. I mean, he's well regarded in what I've read about his work. I'm super just curious. Tom Reese Harry's name based off of John Reese Davies. Yes, this is

a spinoff of John Reese Davies. This is a spin-off human being. But I'm super curious. I don't know, man. I haven't been this excited about something I've known so little about in a while. Gang, are you guys excited for Clayfus? Let us know Clayface in a

horror movie that's what i'm talking about gang that's what i'm excited for did john finally get a tooth not yet i'm still uh i'm still hunting for the right hunk of gold are you going gold i don't know man i've always wanted to be a one a gold tooth guy people keep telling me yes and so i got i got to find out the arrangement you know like yes a dentist is always going to want to like you make i feel bad because i know they want to make you something beautiful that blends in and that's like natural but that's not what you want but that's like i don't have the need to pretend that nothing thing happened here. I'm like, you know, it's different. It's a, it's, it's my weird, you know,

array of things that I got, you know, I didn't never have those teeth. So I'm like, let's put a gold one in. I think, I think either be great. So, uh, I mean, I want to be just a voice amongst the chorus, but I think it's cool. Um, and actually to, uh, tutorial slave has this follow-up question. Thank you for addressing my prior question. Regarding Clayface, do you deem it a backdoor intro to Batman, or could it even lead to something like the rise and fall of the Batman? I don't think it would lead to the rise and fall. I think it's too soon to, you know, we haven't met the Batman yet. But I could see a Batman moment a la creature commandos. You know, I don't know if they'll have him. You know, there's a part of me, and I'm of two minds about it. There's a part of me that would love to meet Batman as an antagonist and then have him become the protagonist in a DCU Batman or DCU. World's Finest or DCU Justice League. However we meet the DCU Batman,

whether it's Brave and the Bold or a team thing or Clayface, it'd be cool to have two different sides of him to see how he is a demon of the superstitious and cowardly lot of criminals to see how he strikes fear in criminals and that would be an antagonistic role. If we're coming from the POV of Clayface

and we meet Batman, he will not be nice to us because we're coming from that world. So that's a really cool idea, but I could also see there being an audience that doesn't want to meet the DCU Batman as a bad guy. So I could also see it be, you know, we had that cool flash of lightning creature commandos. We saw Batman.

We could have something where he is in the shadows. He's rumored. He's in newspapers. Like the Tim Burton Batman do a really good job painting a world where Batman is a part of Gotham. I could see Clayface having Batman be that. But I guess it's a beautiful to be upset. Like, where's Batman?

He's a glaupea. So no matter what, you're not going to please everyone. So I just hope it's authentic to what the greater DCU wants his introduction to be. but I could see it happening. Absolutely. You got some folks expressing concern

mainly over the James Watkins' direction. I like Speak New Evil. Is it good? Like, I'm not a horror guy, and I do know that it changed the certain factors that were harsher about the other film. But it was already pretty harsh for me,

so I'm glad they did. Like, I'm an American, and I did not need the bleak or non-American take because the bleak American take was pretty bleak. Sure, sure, sure, sure. But it was, I thought well-crafted. I thought it was visually stunning.

I thought he got great performances out of the actors in it. So since I don't have the original compare to, that's a lot of people's critique. But I thought his direction of Speak New Evil was solid. Oh, sure. Well, and he did the shut up and dance episode of Black Mirror, which is, you know, early Black Mirror when everyone agreed. And I've heard a lot of good things about Eden Lake, too. Yeah, I heard that. Benedict Cumberbatch.

And he did the Woman in Black, which brought Hammer back to. life for a brief shining moment so here's hoping that goes well he's also a big comic nerd i interviewed him for speak no evil and we ended up like oh hell yeah shit about comics like it just organically comics came up about like unrelated to speak new evil we just started talking comics and like he he knows his stuff so sight unseen i like i respect a director that is coming from a place of being a nerd so i like i like this take personally well speaking of coming from a place of being a nerd Tom Holand has been nerding out, has been scouring the internet, apparently. Love that.

To just glean what fans want most from Spider-Man Brand New Day, hopefully to honor them and not to do the exact opposite of what they want. But he's been out here. He seems to be really kind of shepherding the whole project. I mean, you know, I'm sure that, you know, whoever's obviously the producers, the director are also a huge force. But it seems like Tom Holland is really making this one his own. It seemed like a part of the negotiations. It felt like to do for he wanted control. So I don't think that I don't think it's personally as performative or as much of marketing ploy.

I think it's real. I think Tom Holland actually made sure that he had control before signing on to this film and that he was instrumental in, you know, who was going to be involved in all those things. So now we get to find out what Tom Holland wanted to do in the process. And I think it's great that he is looking. not the reactionary choice of fans yelling out and then someone doing it. Because if you're looking and you have creative control, then you can pick and choose and glean. But if it's just fans yelling and then being reactionary,

that's the line between like fandom and fan entitlement. And that's always my concern in this new age of internet is fan entitlement causes leaks to turn into different storylines and them not always working. Fan entitlement causes people to think they have a better idea than a creator. and be upset when that idea doesn't come to screen and that's why I don't like all these leaks and leak culture because then fans think they've written a better movie

and then they watch it and they're disappointed but it was never that movie to begin with but they write their own thing. So I think it's nice when a creator looks and kind of picks and chooses what they want that suits the story they're already kind of cooking up and that's intriguing to me. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, he's quoted here as saying

quote, I have been actively sifting through the internet and trying to understand what it is that the fans want from a Spider-Man movie, Holland said while on the promotional campaign for Checks notes his new Lego commercial You know sometimes you gotta promote a Lego Thank you Polygon I think the producers at times were like

Absolutely sick of me but I think it's I don't know why Tom Holland is Austin Powers When I do he's definitely getting more British As he speaks I think the producers at times were like Absolutely sick of me but I think it's really important Because we make these movies for the fans It is really, it's an interesting thing

because I have to imagine that in doing that you expose yourself to both yes, what people want. You probably also expose yourself to what you don't want to play into. Because, again, the interesting thing about social media and you go on ex formerly known as Twitter

and you search up a topic like, yeah, you get the whole overview, the ugly, the not so ugly, the good, all that stuff in between. So I am very curious as to, like I think that's something, it's odd. It's like you don't want everything to be marked tested to hell, but you do want, you know, I think for these kinds of movies,

especially that are a lot of ways populist and they are supposed to appeal wide and they are supposed to touch multiple generations. I think that's just a nice thing. And I mean, clearly on the heels of everything with No Way Home that was so ravenous with people, you know, like desperate to find details and having these like epic wish lists of like,

I want this guy to show up. I want this guy to show up. Yeah, it seems like an interesting way to also address the fact that for as good as for as much as people certainly love the MCU iterations of Spider-Man. It does seem like they are still on the hunt

for like that one that frickin' nails. I mean, you know, no way home people absolutely love. I think is great. But there is, you know, some stuff about that movie that's a little, you know, flexible and loose.

And so I feel like they're trying really hard to make this like a tight, definitive MCU Spider-Man. I also feel, you know, not announcing Tom Holland was looking through the internet until it was already in production. It was smart. Like they didn't have like an open forum of like, people planting shit for Tom to find. Or like yeah, or people just like sending an ideas like on like, you know, the last thing you want is people just mailing in scripts.

You know, this feels a little bit more organic in its own odd way. Um, but I, I feel like this is a character that is so broad. I would kind of be curious what people think without it becoming fan written. I'd be curious what little elements he wanted to include. You know, we saw some shots from the set where clearly he was doing direct Spider-Man poses. I'm wondering if certain elements of that were like, you know, we'd love to see this. He finds a way to incorporate it. I feel like it's a lot more breadcrumb details than big story things.

And I would love, if you're watching this, Tom, I would love after the movie is released, actually to sit down with me and let's talk about the things that you gleaned from the internet that you then incorporated. Because I'd love to see the things that were pulled in that you'd already got the. ideas of it'd be kind of a fun director's commentary but like spider man commentary on the things you wanted to incorporate from the fans and the things that you and destined dano creton uh talked about so tom i'll be reaching out let's let's talk after because i think it'd be really fun to like do a do a breakdown of like these are the ideas we wanted to incorporate that the fans had absolutely you should get a couple of your own i i mean a wish list i had and have talked about some fun stuff so i'm wondering if any of that is get incorporated because then i'll be like ah and i'll get to leo point

At a Spider-Man point. Layers. Layers. Speaking of layers. Doing the Tom point with Tom was like a life moment. I got to do the Spider-Man Point with Tom Holland at the trailer event. That was pretty crazy. I was going to say.

That was a moment. If Strange Days ever becomes real, you're going to get the playback of that. Yeah. Underrated movie Strange Days, by the way. Go check that shit out. If you want a good-ass movie, Catherine Bigelow. But if you want to have your world rock to be. by friggin' Angela Bassett.

That's the movie. You heard it here. Speaking of layers, though, there are layers to this Spider-Man brand-new-day shit. Mark Ruffalo is out here. He's excited. Mark Ruffalo had this to say.

He said, he's looking forward to Spider-Man for it. He says, if I'm doing that, which rumors are that I am, once I get a script, I'll know it's real. But I love him, speaking of John Bernthal, and we have a common friend in Lena Dunham, believe it or not,

just adores him. He continued to praise Bernthal saying, I can't wait to work with him. He's so funny. He's such a great actor. He plays that character like nobody else. I'm really excited to meet him. I've never met him.

Dang. That's messed up. Yeah. I wonder how many of the MCU main ensemble cast have not ever met. Yeah, like, I feel like... Are there two MCU characters who have never spoken?

There must be a bunch. I just, the town is so small. I've met John three times. Like, it's just shocking to me that of all the premieres and all the events and like how Mark Ruffalo hasn't crossed paths. It's just funny when you find out those things. Or like, I'm always fascinated when actors do entire films together and meet at the premiere. Because like they'd never

filmed together. Like those kind of things always baffle me. But Mark, for some reason, I would have assumed Ruffalo and Bernthal admit. Well, and they're such that guy acted. Like, they're both in a lot of stuff. And they show, and they're not afraid to take like a major, but still supporting roles. Or afraid to do like an indie film with an ensemble. Like, I'm shocked that not only have they not met, they haven't already worked together. I'm surprised. Mark Ruffalo isn't Carmi's other uncle or something on the bear. Yeah, they're at least one degree apart, Kevin Bacon-wise. I'm shocked they haven't met.

So how do you feel about just the involvement of both of these characters? Again, we've talked about Spider-Man, No Way, a brand new day, and there are a lot of characters that are rumored. How do we feel like Hulk and Punisher are going to kind of, what slice of pie in that pie chart do you think they will occupy? I think we'll get Hulk becoming a rage Hulk that'll be his main point in the movie. His main arc will be going back to being savage to set him up for the future. I could see that being like 15 minutes of screen time, max. I think John Bernthal will be a bit more of a co-lead. I think he'll be in a decent amount.

I think we're going to see like an actual villain take on Punisher. We'll still care about him. We're still going to be like, you know, it's John Bernthal on empathy. But I do think he's going to be, you know, a lot more take matters into his own hands than Spider-Man's comfortable with. And I think that'll be an interesting way to really humanize a down on his luck doing everything by himself, Spider-Man. Oh, yeah, absolutely. I have a follow-up. Lucas wants to know if you have a wish list for Spider-Man. Um, you know, I'm of the mind that when I over hope, then I'm disappointed,

kind of like I was talking about with fan entitlement. So mine are more elements, right? Like, have like certain villains or anything because spider man's the one more elementals that's yeah i want like a far from home i want elements no but like uh i want the the great use of spider sense and i'd love to see the spider sense new used in a new way um i'd love to see iconic barely had any spider sense so i want some spider sense well i thought it was used really well no a home with the goblin yeah but i want more spider sense uh i would like to see more um of iconic spider man poses used in organic ways like i think we're getting that from the look of the behind the scenes photos, but I really think the physicality of Andrew Garfield is second

and none. What they were doing in the amazing Spider-Man movies physically was mirroring Todd McFarlane art, was mirroring some old Ross Andrew and such. And I'd love to see Tom Holland get the chance to mirror some classic Spidey poses, finally in the most iconic suit. I think Spider-Man 2 suit and this suit are two of the best looking. But it's also the first Spider-Man 4. So I think you've got the opportunity to do a lot of villains.

I think you can do a montage. I think it'd be cool to see like Spider-Man, the open. open it like a comic book and every time you print and page just a bunch of villains that way you can yeah you know what I mean like a montage of like oh he took on this guy and he's been fighting this and you just he's got such rogue nod to the rogues right because he's got such a good list of rogues yeah and you could do some of the fun or more obscure the wackier ones big wheel hypno hustler hey the slide hey I uh I'd love to see swarm

a Nazi made out of bees not kidding there's a Nazi made out of bees out there that's that's almost like my spider man character where he's just a man entirely comprised of spiders this is a man entirely but a Nazi I'd love actually you know what I do have one wish list I don't think it'll happen Donald Glover's prowler live action hell in there like Spiderverse I want him in there I don't think it's going to happen because I think he's going to be a big factor in beyond the Spiderverse if I was writing Beyond the Spiderverse he would be so I think they won't use him in brand new day because that'll throw it off but I would love to see Donald Glover and then I I think what else? A catchy theme song. I'd love to see something that feels like our spectacular Spider-Man journey. I think that'd be fun. Hey, even friendly neighborhood Spider-Man,

groovy. Some 41 didn't use a gun on Spider-Man. Dude. That's what we're all about. It's what we live for. Some Shad Krober. I'm so high. I could hear her fun.

That's what we need. We need more needle drops. Oh, same. I did too. I played the heck out of that. Same. I was a big Sum 41 fan at time. Same.

I was very excited. All-Killer-no-filler is apt. A killer no filler, for sure. I just got, does this look infected on vinyl? How's the sound? It sounds lovely, and it's on like this, like, perfect neon splatter-colored. Yeah, it's good. Him and Averill had to search that on discogs.

Punk mom and dad breaking up. I know. I remember that was like Mr. Mrs. Smith. Like, when Angie and Brad broke up, it was like my movie family. And when they broke up, it was like my punk family. It's the Spider-Man connection because then she went and married Chad Kroger. Yes. Dude, she traded one Spider-Man musical.

A track for another. She was like, I don't want, you know, I'm more of a track. They only play what we're all about in, like, that one scene where he's in the car with Uncle Ben and it's like really low on the radio. I want the credits music, music video. It's because he was a skater boy, and she did say, see you later boy. That's true. He wasn't good enough for her.

And now he's a superstar. RIP on 41 and his guitar. He has pretty pretty. See what he's worth. I think this should be the rest of the string. Just slowly. Coded lyrics. This is what I demand a brand new day.

Tom, if you're watching. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I would like to see Averill and the lead singer of SOME 41 reunited in Spider-Man brand new day. Oh, that would be fun. That would be fun. We can fan cast Averloving. The wedding scene where Thomas Jane shows up in Spider-Man 2, like the, you know, there's like a single shot where Tom Jain's in the background, canonically as Punisher, where Mary Jane runs by in Spider-Man 2 in a wedding dress, but it's Avril Levine. Do it.

And what's his name from Sump 41? Derek Wibley. Thank you. It's driving me crazy. Derek Wibley and Averillivine. reenacting the Mary Jane Punisher shot in Sam Ramees. These are all the things. Tom, if we don't

see this, I riot. No, none of these need to be in there, but these are some fun things I'd like. Yeah, Indiana Jake says, I really want Prouler 2 and Hobgoblin. I am also curious as to what the how the involvement of a Zendaya or Jacob Battalon might work. See, I want Hobgobblin to be like a trilogy

or at least two movies because I'd love the mystery element of, you know, in the comics, they drew out the Hobgallon mystery for a long time. And Amazing Spider-Man and 289 is a double-sized reveal, and it's such a good issue, and it's so powerful. I'd love for a movie to set up the mystery and then a second movie to pay it off. It doesn't need to be a full trilogy, but at least two movies. I want Venom introduced as the symbiate here conceptually pay off the symbiate in Secret Wars.

Like, I would love if the post-credit scene of the movie, Brand New Day, is, you know, a scene from Secret Wars like they did with Winter Soldier, and that is canonically putting in the black suit in the first Spider-Man. Life is finally lining up where Secret Wars is going to be happening between Spider-Man films. Give us the black suit there. The next Spider-Man film be black-suit Spider-Man for a full movie. No Venom. Venom and Spider-Man 3 in this next trilogy. Maybe Venom kills

Spider-Man Miles Browns. Like, you can do a really crazy tie-in to all the different Venoms. You could incorporate Eddie Brock in a new way. What's his name? Alan Richardson, Eddie Brock right there. Hell yeah, Alan Richardson. Get that mullet on my man. Right?

Perfect 80s Venom. And you then can incorporate a whole black suit movie and that way Spider-Man get to play on these like fears and isolation from this first film. And then the third film, you actually have a Spider-Man MCU interaction, which we never got with Tom Hardy. I love Tom Hardy, but we never got that option. So do those things right, but set them up in brand new day by having like certain elements and then Secret Wars and then come back.

But yeah, there's a lot. I don't want. Goodness. It's such a weird one because, yeah, they've said they wanted to return to some semblance of street level and we have all these characters and whatnot and I'm most fascinated honestly by like a Punisher Spider-Man interaction, even though that's the last thing I would have even thought about. But it is street level and it would yeah, it would be one of those interesting things of like this could go any number of ways given, you know, who we know Frank to be. He's a guy with a gun that's

like unfortunately the definition of street level. Yeah. You know, like that's the world. So like, I mean, Hammer had to be cool because it would elevate it slightly into the, you know, extraordinary, but still grounded like there's so many villains that suit this street level idea and the fact to be a scorpion is great if we see a tombstone do you think it's going to directly link to the friendly neighborhood spider man take i don't think it'll be direct because i think they'll make him a little older i don't think they'll do that one-to-one where he's like a peer but i think they'll do something where they make lani a you know an interesting character i don't think he'll be one note now because we saw how good tombstone could be i would like to make him less interesting yes i'd like to do much i don't like this co-lead lonie lincoln fella dude i'm so excited for friendly neighbor season two next year. Dude, that was... Next year's crazy. That was such a lovely surprise. And I feel like, too, the way they release stuff now is really weird.

And I feel like the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man release strategy, if I recall it correctly, seemed like they had some level of faith. But like, you know, they dropped all of eyes of Volkanda. And I've heard that's actually pretty decent. I hope they release weekly for X-Men and Fantastic. And Spider-Man next year. Yeah. Because, yeah, and Marvel Zombies is all coming out of once, too.

Which is a fascinating trailer. In September, they're releasing all of the only super horror Halloween TVM-A. Like, you could stretch that out for how many episodes is it? Five. Five. Five weeks. Have the last one about on Halloween. Not that I would want to shoot on Halloween, but, but yeah. But the average viewer. What are we doing? What are we doing? Well, we're not, I know one thing we're not doing is featuring rehearsal allie is Blade. Yeah, it's another dude.

It's Todd Smith or something. Or no, that's L.O. Cool J's real name. I forgot the. I would love an L.L. Cool J. Blade, all right? I was so confident. His hat's like a shark's fan. And it would have done very well as Blade. It's not Mahershala, which means we still go another year without knowing

Mahershala's Blade even multiversally. I'm fascinated by it. I mean, do you feel like that says anything or is that just like, I don't want to show up for this? I'll just get somebody else to do it. I, mind. interpretation that's completely personal, like just my own take, and this doesn't mean it's Marharshal is, this doesn't mean it's Marvel's. I wouldn't want my first full appearance to be in a multiversal, what if zombie take. If I was already Blayed in my own movie and even a secondary

appearance and then, but dude has literally said one line of dialogue in Eternals. And then if my second appearance was in a, in a multiversal zombie thing, I would hold off. And I don't know if he still is Blade, which is a bummer because Myershal is amazing. I mean, that's like the biggest question. mark right now because like something like this suggests to me like while we're moving at least further away it's at least further than closer to and especially with how many actors if it wasn't the marvel universe wherein so many actors do reprise their voice work it is very common for voice actors to step into animated takes of these characters but what if and this art style is so tied into them using the voice actors like most of the what if is the actual marvel visual actors so

surprising. It is. This whole thing was so exciting at first. When they're like, everyone's going to do the thing. And then, you know, you're like, okay, we got half of the people. And then we got half impressions. And then we got a couple of voices here that aren't even trying to be impressions. Yeah. It's very interesting.

We got a couple. Ziplock, Zenith, don't worry. We're headed toward super chats imminently. We will get to them ASAP. We got a couple little items to end up with. Also, mildly mercurial. Just love and Eddie Azard, quote, covering in B. love to hear that

let's see I thought I had a thing but I don't now so yeah poor blade did you like the Marvel Zombies trailer did you guys in the chat like the Marvel Zombies trailer

I watched it I just didn't because I'm gonna watch the show alright cool like I'm probably for the better more and more I just don't watch trailers if I'm gonna watch it so I'm first someone will take that

as a slight but it's not it's the opposite I'm going to watch it anyway. Yeah. Like I watched the 28 years later trailer, even though I'm going to watch that movie because I was like, what's Nia DiCosta's eye on this?

So that's, okay, let me know early, five months early. But like, um, not 14 iPhones apparently. Yeah. Very, it looks more, more camera. Yeah. But like, there's like five trailers this week and I watched two.

I didn't watch the Wicked trailer because I'm very excited for Wicked. And I did not think I cared about Wicked and then the first movie blew me away. So I now want to go into Wicked could side unseen because I'm already excited. I didn't watch there was a, oh, I didn't watch

the black phone trailer because I'm so excited for Scott's movie side unseen that like... Still haven't even seen the original. Dude, the first black phone is one of my favorite modern and heart movies of all time. Dude. It's exceptional. All right. I'll add it to the slate. It's real good, dude. I'm going to call Mason Thames and apologize personally. I mean, you know, he's probably watching. Dude, he's watching

right now. Mason, I'm so sorry. Hold on. Close up. Mason. Hang on, hang on. Here we go. I'm really sorry that I've dishonored our friendship and I'm going to buy a hundred copies of black phone just for you. He's only going to watch it once and then he's going to put it in another disc and he's going to watch it a lot of times, but it's a one serving only disc because John doesn't have physical media works. Nope. That's how it goes away. No, yeah, it's self-destructs after one play, right?

They made a video game like that back in the day where it's like you get, it's like it's so hard you get. five tries and if you can't beat it like the game corrupts itself that's crazy can't play it anymore in real life mason's one of my favorite examples of realizing our impact on the industry because mason i consider coy's personal opinion i consider mason one of the best actors of his generation like i think he's one of the like that's a movie star for people that are younger than me and i don't know a lot of that generation but like mason's so clearly a star and when i met him he knew us and i was like oh we do like cause like some sort of commentary that gets back to creators and more and more we see that like more and more I run into like showrunners and writers and directors and actors but mason was the first of that generation and it was

such an honor to be like ah the next movie star like knows us yeah and that was really just cool and like fluent in the internet space yeah but i'm such a fan of that dude so it was really cool to like know that he watches us uh and i i really am proud of him because he's done such a good job narrating and sorry navigating his career like he's got a rom-com with dave franco coming out this year and black phone too and he had had a train your dragon all in one year you're mason thames proud of dick grason he'd be so good i also think it'd be a good tim drake sure any one of the robins man yeah well not jason todd not jason's a sweet guy mason's a sweet not those two not those but uh but yeah black phone two i skipped because i i just know i'm in for sure for sure so not a slight at marvel zone there was

only one trailer this week that I, well, I was very chuffed for 28 weeks later, the bone temple. Oh yeah, would you think you were here for my commentary? What you think of the trailer? I was. I finally saw the trailer itself. What I was yelling about. No, I mean, like, yeah, 28 years later, so far has been one of my favorite movie experiences of the year. And yeah, I love the, I love that, I mean, it's taking all these tonal elements I really enjoyed from that movie and continuing them. It makes me really curious, too, as to like what the structure of the sequels, these two sequels, hopefully the third are going to be, because like so much of the trailer feels at a glance like the second half of 28 years later in terms of

the settings and the characters and whatnot. So it makes me wonder if we're going to have these sort of two half experiences kind of segueing into one another where, you know, 28 years later we start out, you know, in the safety of the little compound and then we slowly spend more and more time out, you know, across the, you know, little bridge thing in the wilderness and at the Bone Temple, etc. I wonder then if we're going to go from there, you know, further into Jimmy's weird little world that, you know, but yeah, like the, the weird sort of post-apocalyptic punkness combined with just the, yeah, the imagery and that. And the Samson element was fascinating. Yeah. Like I was like, oh, the alpha and it looks like there's like a communication happening. Yeah.

That was really interesting. Yeah, I'm really excited. and two, like, to have this through line where it's like, yeah, Danny Boyle's not directing it anymore, but Nia da Costa has a really sharp eye and Alex Garland is still the writer and Danny Boyle is still the producer. So like it feels like a really cool, collaborative opportunity to yet add a new flavor to the voice. Yeah. But also keep it, you know, not, you know, not so far departed that it's like a whole other thing. Because I think Danny Boyle, I don't know, but I think he's going to come back for the third one if they get to make it, which means like he wants to see some. someone else have his vision and then come back and wrap up. That's exciting. Yeah. But yeah, it was a great trailer. Yeah. The trailer, that we, I saw the Weathering Heights trailer.

Oh. Margot and Jacoba Lorty. Yeah, yeah. People are getting big upset about it. Oh. Big divisive. Oh. You know, it's, you know, those, isn't that an Emily Bronte or something?

I think so. You know, those, I feel like Emerald Fennell brings like a hypersexuality that is maybe not. It's a number of finel film? Yeah. Oh, I'm going to watch that. I was I was so not invested until you said yeah that's one of the directors I'm like yeah yeah dude saltburn's my jam okay yeah love saltburn all right I'm in I've heard some of the early you know it was so casual about that movie I was like I'll catch it now

you've changed everything well that's the thing is is a Wuthering Heights adaptation on its face you're like okay so like you know a very sort of like somewhat gothic literary you know you're in you're in Jane Austen adjacent territory I love I would have seen it because of her Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, but less costume drama and more like, sorted, sexy, freaking, instead of, yeah, we touched hands, it's like we touched everything. Yeah, I read the, like, and you never know if these things are accurate, but that the whole, like, people outrage during the test screening, and here's what happened, and there's like a corpse with an, I don't, I don't even want to start saying what it is, because I don't want to get monetized for weird content, but it certainly looks spicy and saucy. All right. I'm so excited now. You just changed my whole Wuthering Heights hype level

Wuthering hype Are you hype? Are you feeling the Wuthering hype? I've got some Wuthering hype And of course my The trailer I was looking forward to most all year Finally came out as a teaser Silent Hill Return to Silent Hill

Which is also divisive You know some people excited Some people not excited But I love that first Silent Hill movies I shot very psyched My first solo reaction to that To the Silent Hill teaser Really? I was my first ever like

Oh I'm gonna see how this game goes my first one because i did the commentary on 28 years later because i like wanted to do a commentary my first ever like blind watch trailer thing uh which i'm gonna post uh probably tomorrow because i'm a big silent hill one fan myself that first movie is so good hell yeah sorry i am making a swift change here swift um but yes uh also we got one more piece of news before we hop into the uh the chats um dwayne johnson

dwayne the rock johns he's a smashing machine he is a smashing machine and apparently he is stepping up his acting chops as well yep uh he's already I mean you know we'll see how it goes

but people are certainly talking about his uh potentiality for the Oscar conversation and just the fact that yeah it's not just like oh yeah he's you know physically capable of this role people are saying he actually has brought, you know, the, where did they get, like a 15 minutes standing ovation?

It doesn't even, you know, it's like the Muhammad Ali quote with, like, crunches. Like, you don't start counting until it hurts. I think you don't start counting standing ovations until people's feet hurt. So, like, after 10 minutes, it's like, okay. A 10 minute plus five minute standing ovation means it is, it is of merit. I'm really excited for this film. I, one, I'm a huge UFC MMA guy, and it's based on a real MMA fighter. and two he looks so unrecognizable like i've been talking about the first images out of this movie for

two years now since those first official shots came out so i'm i'm stoked and now to hear it's as good as the um allure of a completely transformed joan johnson plus you know there is only so high you can go as like movie star summer blockbuster guy like eventually that must get boring and or the audience is sick of seeing a thing you do they want to see that other thing So I think a very hard pivot with a safty film is exciting. And I know it's popular to hate on certain people like The Rock or Ryan Reynolds or whoever, like, whoever's popular, it's always fun to like trash them. But like I have had a few interactions with The Rock. And they've all been markedly human and really down to earth and real.

And they've all been not movie star moments. Like I've met a lot of movie stars and I've had movie star moments. But every interaction I've had with Dwayne Johnson has been. like so human. I'm really excited for the world to see that. I'm really excited for like the day to day audience to see the human side of Dwayne Johnson and I think this role could do that. So

that plus the huge dichotomy between big blockbuster and this kind of really down-to-earth role, I could see an Oscar if it's as good as this come out of that because of the sheer shock of the difference in Dwayne his work. So I'm excited. That was very articulate, Koi. Thank you. I'm jazzed for this.

I'm so ready. I am too. I've been waiting for this moment. Yeah. I like, like he's been, I remember the early parts of his career and stuff like, be cool and like,

you know, walking tall and Southland Tales. He lost weight twice because he kept wanting to be like seen as an actor. I remember this. Yeah. And like, you know,

I remember him being the highlight of so many movies and, you know, being this sort of treat among, you know, a bunch of other veteran actors. Yeah. So I have been waiting patiently

for him to, again, break out of like, action hero movie star, mode and to like actually spread the it's weird like for as much as the conversation goes like oh batista and johnsina or the wrestlers turn actors who can really underline that act part uh i feel like the rock has it in him and i'm just waiting for him to push him for a guy who loves to push himself yeah surprise has taken this long for that to be emphasized on the literal acting chops i honestly i feel like the people just wouldn't let him because he did try so many times

early in his career and then he just kept being movie star guy i don't think anyone was financing a rock takes himself seriously as an actor movie and timing wise like he's the busiest dude ever so it's like do you make the time to do that when no one's saying yes uh so i think it's a great opportunity and a great shift um because yeah like i i did uh my interview with with him for black adam say what about the movie but my interview like he was so genuinely excited and curious and and transfixed by the idea of being a comic historian and and being a person that talks about comics for a living and he genuinely wanted my opinion and experience of certain things and I was so struck by how not movie star that was

like I had a five or six minute interview with him that ran like eight minutes because he turned the the mic around effectively and started interviewing me about stuff and he just really wanted to know my opinion on on elements that he cared about and I don't see that happen a lot with people that are just movie stars that only want to keep making these huge things it was a very human moment I also helped him save a bunch of people getting not trampled not like that dramatic

but there was a small fire that broke out during a premiere me and him helped escort people out of the theater and I felt like a superhero teaming up with the rock it was really exciting yeah it was a tiny little electrical fire

that ended up being nothing but in a dark but in that moment yeah yeah yeah well in an all black theater if you see sparks and smoke it's immediate panic and everyone like ran away and I got to like hold doors open

and help people get out and I looked over me and the rock were teaming up and I was like this is the awesomeest and then years later he remembered the moment and started putting me on press lists and that's again that's so human that's not something a lot of like movie stars do so i i think

this is the direction he should go and i'm excited to see him take it absolutely why do you guys feel about the smashing machine are you excited robert proisers is walking tall and gridiron gang are underrated rock movies yeah both of us and uh we also got people arguing as to whether uh peacemaker or the punisher would win in a fight that's fun that's really fun they're very good comps. Yeah. Goodness gracious me. Smashing Machine.

I'm excited to see it. I'm excited for Dwayne Johnson and what I can only assume is going to be a very stressful movie because I associate the safeties with stress. Very stressful movies. Man.

Let's see. We also, weapons is coming out on digital next week, for those of you who aren't aware, which is crazy to me, but I'll finally get to see it. I'm excited for that. Sophie Turner is going to be

Tomb Raim. apparently which is fun they've been trying to do that again for a while I'll actually like the Alicia Vicander movie I think she's great but then you know but I can see Sophie Turner doing it I'm curious as to what the new take will be oh is it it's a it's a Phoebe Waller Bridge series I think so well that'll be fun and interesting coy you got any more stray thoughts before we hop into the super chat I think I'm ready to super chat I think we're ready to chat it up let's do this thing let's hop on over. I'm going to work a little

bit of movie magic right here and get us on... Oh, watch him do the movie magic. Oh, yeah. Oh, watch me do the movie magic. I was like, it's 120. I was like, did we hit the super chats in time? I was checking. Hey, there it is. We got him. We got them. We got them. We got a few. We got a handful. We got actually some nice support today. I've got to make sure I'm reading September 5 and not

September 3. All right. Dante Woodbeck kicking us off. Thank you so much for chiming in on the stream. Dante wants to know if you could play one D.C. character, who would it be? You're a green arrow? All right. Cool, cool. I'd love that. I really like his perspective on wealth and equality in a very different way. I like how he is a comp for a lot of other more linear heroes. I like that it's such an interesting commentary. I like what Ali represents as a family man. I really like his power set. I like how he's able to hang with like

superpowered beings and it's like total plausible deniability that he could do half the things he does but it somehow works. I really love when they tell like community based stories based around him being a billionaire and what that looks like. I just, I love that he's Robin Hood for a comic book world and such a man of the people.

I'm not a good enough actor to play Oliver, but if I were a better actor and good enough then that's the one I'd pick. That makes sense. I think I would go with scarecrow. I've always loved a Jonathan Crane I feel like that would be a very fun role to play

both for the you know the psychosis the pathos but also the imagery obviously the horror centrism sure so yeah I feel like Jonathan Crane if I had the choice is who I wouldn't want to go with but that's just me leave it leave yours down in the comments

be very curious to know us cast us who would you cast John and Coyas oh Dante also wants to know who your favorite MMA fighter is um i you know i really like how gay che just kind of like goes off and he doesn't really like he doesn't win as much as i'd like him to but he's got the chin of a champion like i'm a big micky ward guy and micky ward um was basically like uh an the guy from the fighter yeah the real one okay he's it's mark walberg playing the guy man uh and he just had a chin on him and he

didn't fatigue and he was one of those like it's not how hard you hit it's how hard you get hit kind of guys. Like you, the man just stood 10 toes down. And I feel like Gage is kind of like that. You know what? I like Michael Chandler quite a bit. He's another guy that doesn't win a lot as much as he should. You know, I want to see him win more. But that dude will fight till he's burger. Like that guy just scraps. I like Max Holloway. I like Izzy. I think the stylebender lives up to his name. I've really grown to like John Bones Jones over the last few fights. I think he's a really interesting. That is a very cool name.

You did John Bones Jones? Yeah, he's like pound for pound number one, I think still. I like, there's a, like, Holly Holm is an interesting fighter. I think her name's Zengzi, the new featherweight from China, is a really interesting fighter. I got a lot of fighters I really enjoy. Is it because you like fighting? I used to. I actually, I did Golden Gloves very briefly, actually under Mickey Ward, the Reelph one.

he's from my hometown. Oh, damn, that's crazy. Like, Mickey and Dickie came to Thanksgiving once and stuff. Like, they're, like, friends of the family-ish. And then they made a movie out of them, and that was very surreal to be from a small town where, like, the local heroes are, like, larger than life. And then all of a sudden, it's, like,

Christian Bale and Mark Wahlberger here in town playing those large and life. And then that made him bigger. And to this day, whenever I see Christian Bail, we talk about Dickie Jr., who is Dickie Ecklin's son, who I'm mutual friends with with Christian. So when Christian and I see each other,

it's oddly not work. We have, like, a social connection back to my hometown. So we always talk about like the Eklins and Lowell and stuff and that's always fun because like there's a part of me that has to go like he he Batman

but then there's another part of me that's like man it's probably such a relief that this guy sees someone at a public event that doesn't want to talk about Batman or like his work. Like we get to talk about the human side of stuff and I got a lot of love for

for the portrayal of those guys from my town. Hell yeah. Beautiful. Yeah. And I love fighting. Do you do? I like the rush of it. Like last time I went to Ireland I went and trained for like three days

And I was immediately aware of how bad I was at it, but I also immediately aware that there's no rush like being in an octagon or on a mat and not knowing how hurt you're going to get. Like it's a safe place. Like you won't die most likely. But it is pure adrenaline like you might die. And the world just goes away. Like there's no other thought. It's just tactics and precision and awareness and awareness of your lack of stamina and awareness of like how badly you've eaten or not. like your body becomes a machine and your brain gets so clear and focused like and getting hit

in the face is such a humbling awakening it's so like oh my god i'm not that good but also like oh i'm alive uh so yeah there's something to fighting that's so special oh yeah so i love seeing actual champions do it because it's such an art hell yeah that's beautiful it is an art it is a craft yeah it is a calling not for me anymore but yes it was was Connor mullis thank you so much for chiming in Connor. Golly, good golly, that, that, that, them, take it back.

Good gosh, golly, G. It's corky. Hi. Are you corky? They call me and Winston over in Capes and Cal is corky and Wilson. So it's, you know, it's what it was.

I had to, yeah. So corky, hello to Wilson over at Capes and Corky. You're corky to me now. All right. So many names. Jose, don't worry about it. Thank you for China.

timing in as well. Dear Coy, Bridesmaidsmaids is not overrated. You know, it certainly is a movie that came out and sure is something people enjoy. And I'm happy for those people that enjoy them. And I do not sit amongst them. But I'm

happy for them. Wow, Coy. That's okay. It's fine. I will. We went to Greg and I way back in the day when we were allowed to go to those like, want to see a free movie? Oh, yeah, dude. Test screenings at the mall. Like, yeah, we saw

an early test screening of bridesmaids. And I mean, you know, it went over pretty decently in the theater and we had fun, but I was very surprised by like just the juggernaut that it became. It was huge. You know, yeah, it was massive. I just don't think that

Mr. McCarthy is very funny. So, yeah, it's not my jam. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Shots fired. Leave your favorite Melissa McCarthy performances in the live chat. Let's see. Ooh, I could see John being Chaz, the friend of Constantine.

Oh. band together. Okay, I'll take that. That's fun. I'll be Chaz any day of the week. We met him in an animated movie, didn't we? Do we mean to Chaz? Oh, Kevin Holland. I love Kevin Holland. I love Kevin Holland. I think was briefly in the House of Secrets one. Yeah. I think so, yes. Kevin Holland was the fighter I couldn't remember before. He's like new to me, but he's a really good fighter. And I love this dude is like such a beast and he's so ferocious, but he's so chill. Like all of his interviews are like, you know what, man? I just came in here and I had to fight. Like I'm always just like guy, you're like a laid back. like vibe but he's like a monster in the ring and matt hughes used to remind me of that too matt hughes was like one of the first ufc fighters man i don't get to talk about ufc enough i'm all jazzed up all right next week ufc exclusive podcast yeah john and coy talk music and ufc and greg bans us from the studio and greg and greg questions each life choice that led us to this let me fix this oh no it looks so ugly when i do that anyway it'll be a little snipped on the side That's fine.

Hey, this is from Robert Proycer. Robert says, hope you guys are having a good day. I hope you are too, Robert. Thank you for chiming in for being here on so many of these. After each episode of Peacemaker's Season 2, I'm getting more hyped to see who the really, really big cameo is. Do you guys have any ideas? At this rate, it could be anyone.

Golly, big cameo, Peacemaker. Do we think one of the lanterns stops by? I think they could with that being the next show. Policing them. yeah like that that is the next thing um and he's doing some timey whimy cosmic shit it's also peacemaker like you know this james gunn's favorite thing so i could see him introducing new characters because it's something's abloved yeah like there's so many it's kind of a too many possibilities because we're what halfway three out of eight we're three out of eight yeah so almost halfway yeah so like we have

infinite possibility going forward uh so i i could see um with this story so far so many opportunities Yeah, I mean, part of, I know a lot of people are speculating that, like, David Cornswet would show up or something like that, which I could see. I mean, like, a picture David Cornswept posted with John Cena. It was, like, him visiting set, but, like, I don't know. I don't know. Well, you should know. I should know. And you should leak that information.

To us, Coy, what do we pay you for? All right. Goodness gracious, though, that is a good question. I wonder. I would love to see a peacemaker. Talk directly to Guy Gardner, not just through a two-way glass mirror. Jose, don't worry about it, is back. Has there been any news on the Teen Titans movie?

Who do you think would work as Starfire? I don't think there has been any pressing Teen Titans news. I mean, they had a, you know, I don't know how substantiated the rumor was of the writer being hired. And it was from, like, legitimate sources, but I don't know if that was like, okay, it's moving forward fast track, but that writer is doing a bunch of really cool stuff so it feels like a good vote

of confidence in that writer which makes me excited, but I don't think we've heard anything since then. Yeah, I'm trying to look it up right now. Starfire, though. You know, I don't... You know, this ties on what I said earlier.

I don't know a lot of the younger generation. Like, the Mason-fames generation. Like, I would assume it would be not a teen because they're doing the Titans, but it would be like a 20-something. I don't know a lot of 20-something actors right now. Anna Nogaria is writing this Teen Titans movie, apparently. That's what the reports were.

Yeah. On the Supergirl script as well. Yeah. Okay, there you go. Goodness gracious me. I don't know any actresses in that. Who can play Starfire? Early 20s.

I don't know. Sadie Sink. Starfire was like, what colors her hair? She was redhead. Yeah. She's a purple. Sadie Sink or who played Bev in friggin' it? oh yeah

what's her name Sophia Lillis yes who was my Gene Gray for a while oh sure yeah well that's the problem is any redhead

are you in the same pool of like Eugene Gray yeah oh it's also like so many redheads in comics because it's so vibrant but then there's like it's the genetic minority

so there's only so many actors that fit the thing that's so common in comics yeah totally that's a tricky one man leave us your fan castings down below also we are going

to keep the Super Chats open for a little while longer, but I will be closing them down pretty soon because we do got to be a bit timely today because I got a thick movie to watch after this. Oh? Oh, yeah. DeWanda Weiss, someone said in the chat, that is my storm.

I want DeWon DeWise's storm real bad, especially after being like one of the only good things about that Jurassic she was in. DeWond DeWis is great. Oh, yeah. Was she the Indiana Jones, like, plane flying? Yeah, she was very fun. She was awesome. It was definitely one of my favorite parts of that movie.

Okay, hell yeah Moving on, thank you Jose, Eddie Rios. I'm still trying to get these R rolls smooth. What's up, boys? Finally get to catch you guys live! This podcast

has become something I look forward to weekly. Keep on, keeping on. Do you guys think Lex and Superman will have to team up in this next movie? We talked about that a little bit up top, but it's looking likely, eh? I just feel like the images they chose, you know, like there's two of them fighting, one of them standing Chummy side by side. I'm inferring that'll be a factor in the film. I'm also inferring that

the man of tomorrow is Lex and it will get more of a P.O.B. from his perspective, but that would also imply a team up at some point. I think so, and it's also a fun comic trope. Like, I like to see it. And it does tie into that last monologue from Clark where he's like, I want to see, you know, you see how good you could be for the world and get over this thing. And I think he naively would be like, oh my God, he's doing it. He's growing. And then, be betrayed. Yeah, absolutely. Goodness gracious. It would be... It's very superman of him to give everyone the benefit of it out 20 times. Yeah, yeah, right. And I mean, it's very Lex Luthor to have you vaguely convinced that this could work actually this time.

This is it, that time. Maybe he's turned to leaf. Maybe we can actually... No, we can't. No, I was a fool. The amount of times in the DC animated movies alone that that's happened, you know, is very funny to me because, yeah, it's fooled me a number of times. keep having to be having to remind myself like, this is what Lex Luthor does. Every time, you're so many times you're like, I really like him. Don't be enamored.

Yeah, don't be suckered in. But thank you for your very generous contribution, Eddie Rios. I hope this has been an enjoyable episode today. I realize that I am not Greg Alba, even though I wish I could be. He's busy doing crunches somewhere.

He's busy doing crunches, sending me notes to update the title. Ah. While doing crunches. Hopefully also doing crunches and remaining busy. Happy birthday to Greg. Happy birthday to Greg. Greg's birthday a couple of days ago.

We did a little live stream for that, too, featuring Jabis Kablobis from the Sinapal's. And Greg's abs. And Gregs Ams. There was a lot of abs on that stream. That's true. It was very ab-heavy stream. So I mean, like, jumped in and out, and I was like,

that's a lot of abs. And folks, I mean, deserved. Absolutely. Absolutely. Logan Missiac. Thank you so much for chiming in. About time, Superman gets his flowers. It's true.

It's been a long time. And it's been a long time of people either debating Zach Snyder or debating why doing anything. other than that is boring and it's nice to live in a world where maybe it's not you know boring maybe just being good is worth being good who knew you know i'm enjoying this positive superman time being good is pretty sick and yeah it's nice to have people enthused about a superman rather than you know debating the same few things that make him maybe not always compelling but you know compelling if you do it right yeah yeah i'm really and like you said like it is his flowers are i don't know

I feel like it's a good sign that we still have the capacity. Like it gives me hope just generally that we can enjoy a character like Superman. 100%. And I feel like now in the way the world is, the way just social interactions in society are, I think it's a sign of, you know, it's not the panacea to fix all things. But it's at least a nice sign of a cultural tide shift of, I don't know, yeah, maybe being kind once in a while is punk rock. Just even if one person thinks about once a day, We can have things just shift a little better.

Heck yeah. Weak-bearded, busted. Thank you for chiming in. Appreciate you. Love me some John and some Coy and John. Oh, I love you too. Thank you so much, weak beard. You have a strong beard.

I'm just to say it right now. Don't ever feel like your beard is less than or not enough to be. It's a proper amount of beard. It's a good-ass beard. You heard it here. Lobstar. It sounds like a super villain. It does.

Like a lobster, cosmic lobster. I was thinking like a half man half lobster Like some sort of demonic little Lovecraftian thing I have a script that has to do with that actually Lovecraftian lobsters Yeah something like that I won't say too much about it

Because I want anybody to steal my ideas Here on live TV Our most recent You know social media post is about my Disdain for the seafood So I would clearly be your target audience Wow I gotta go catch up with the You know I do like like tilapia and cod

But I like them because you can season them to taste like not seafood food, which means I think I just don't like seafood, because I like the ones that are the ones I can hide. So, you're anti-samine is what you're saying. I like a really honey, honey, honey, honey glazed, but that's for the honey. Like, I don't, I mean, and salmon. You might as well just eat a bowl of honey. Right. And, like, salmon's got a nice, like, chickenness to it.

But that means I like chicken. It doesn't have a good texture. You know what I mean? Like, all the things I like about the seafood I like are what is not seafood. All right. So it's unfortunate. That's a lot of good protein. No sushi dinner for Koi.

Not for me. All right. Lobstar. I know it's on. likely. Thank you, by the way, for chiming in. I would love to see a video on either this or Coy's channel of John or Greg with Coy discussing comics they have read for the first time. You know, I'm building out my studio, and in my studio, I realize I could have, like, a guest chair, and for some reason, the physical realization made me go, like, maybe I will. But I just

got lights. I just got things set up, and, like, that's the next step. It'll be a little bit, but I do eventually. I think that'd be fun. I might, like, talk with my dad about woman tomorrow because you just read it and stuff like that would be fun but down the line i'd love to have these gents on that'd be that'd be a good time that's like a cool comic book book club yeah like just here's a graphic novel read this we'll discuss it and then like grow that but it'll i want to make sure i start with guess right because there's nothing worse than like tech issues and chaos yeah so i want to get to that point comfortably and then camp down do a couple tests yeah i might do like a two shot like on the same like just literally like side by side like

with my dad but then i want to have like you know a real guest then absolutely Because your dad is a fake guest. Yeah. But that would be really, honestly, that'd be really cool. Your dad's a very chill dude, and, you know, he's a comic book lover as well. He got me into it. So it's a fun, like, passing up the torch. Heck, yeah.

I would love that Lobstar and in getting together, talk some tunes. Fed no one over to my studio at all zero people, and that'd be fun to, like, have you guys come in. We're still supposed to do final day. Yes, I want to so bad. Yeah, man. Dude, I got... Bring it, does this look infected. Oh, yes.

I can see it. glowing glory. I was like a week out from making a plan to have people over for vinyl and I got invaded by Nats like a biblical amount. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

You mentioned this. I've been back. I went to Home Depot and I got the like napalm spray and I've been like waking up and just attacking. It has been the craziest thing. Sure.

So once my place doesn't look like it needs a young priest and an old one, and luckily it's fairly insulated. It hasn't become an inside problem, But it's become such an outside problem that I'm like, I don't want to be embarrassed by it. So it's coming. It's coming.

Okay. Okay. That's fair. That's fair. I am going to, I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen. It's 20 to 2. So it's about a good time to close these super chats down so that we can make sure we get to all of them before we hit the road here.

But seriously, especially on a non-Gregn-and-coi day, on a John and Coi day, which is, you know, much more fewer and further between. I appreciate you guys still showing up, showing out, chiming in. Y'all are the bees, knees, but not the bees. Nazis. Yeah, not the Nazis. The make up the character of swarm. What a character.

What a guy. What a crazy choice. Yep. Oh, my goodness gracious me. All right, let's see. Someone in the chat said they can see me as a comic accurate Huey Campbell, which is funny because that is actually something I've talked about with screen accurate Huey Campbell quite a bit.

yeah well you do have a little bit of Simon Peggishness yeah we've talked to and I'm buddies with Derek the the illustrator the person who invented the visual of the great Huey Campbell and Derek Robertson go back like a decade damn okay so I know Jack through Derek hey yeah I did a set visit

for the boys and all of it that show loves comics so much that they like their video village has like comic frames and like their mailboxes are like by letter but each letter is like a different boys character and it's all Derek art and it was so cool to see, like, comic come to life. But that's how Derek and I met was, like, a decade ago.

And then I met Jack and all that stuff. But, yeah, Huey Campbell comes up a lot in my IRL because of that. Hell, yeah. Go Huey. Love Star, thank you so much again. Let's see, Spidey Sensei. Good ass name. Spitey Sensey 2.

Coy. Spidey Sensei knows you. Coy, I tried three different vendors. Whoa. Got three different copywriting infringement warnings. I was trying to print a T-shirt with that image of M battle wrapping Spider-Man for you. That is such a good idea.

But no shop will print it. Sorry, man. That is such a good gift and such a good idea. Spidey Sensei and I go way back, IRL and digitally, and he sent me like a, I got a great birthday. I just got to print it and I didn't know what it was until now.

So good. That would have been great. I got to dig up what the name of the service was because I did find a service. I was trying to print a T-shirt in Pinch. not long ago in coinciding with a reaction and yeah, something had gotten messed up with a shipping of a shirt I was supposed to receive

so I was like, I need someone to freaking whip this up in an afternoon. I did find a service who I found a couple who turned me down because it was flirting with copyright and then I found one service. It was just like, yeah, whatever you got, you just need one? Fine, we'll do it. And I got it that afternoon and it was a better quality

than I had expected. So if I can dig that up, Spidey Sense find a way to get in contact and I'll see if we can send that your way That is a cool idea

but that sounds like a badass shirt Two things I love Regardless Battle rap and Spider-Man Oh my goodness Hey man Venom

Venom Venom Momentum is what we need We do need The adrenaline momentum Venom Venom 2 had Little Sims in it

Who's one of my favorite rappers right now She's rapping on stage And then it's the scene Where Venom gets them on stage And he starts rapping So, you know, the Venom movies, they really do like their rap collabs.

I mean, Tom Hardy, big old hip-hop head. Yeah, so if we could get a Spidey battle-wrap t-shirt for Koi. Thank you also for the very generous contribution. Really appreciate that. Zarface shared that interview with me and Sean Gunn talking about FM Doom, and that was Oh, cool. That felt like I got the, like, family approval. Like, Zarface actually shared it, like, around their social media, and, like, I felt

that was, like, really special to talk about NF Doom with someone that, like, was family to him with John Goh. It's pretty cool. That's bitching. Those are, I had definitely got a stock up on some of those on vinyl, some of those MFDM records. Dan V-900, thank you for chiming in so generously as well. When did you see, when did you last see the Batman 66 film? I said on the last stream how Batman and Robin works best as a sequel to the 60s show with its tone and going from shark repellent to the back card. I stand by it.

I know the last time I saw it would have been, We did a Batman movie ranking, goodness gracious, we did a few ranking videos, kind of like you guys did for the Superman stuff when the new movie had come out. We did, I think, ranking the Batman and then ranking the Batman movies. And for that, I had rewatched the 66 film. I only got ever seen the 66 film, ever. What? Yeah.

I like Adam. It's very fun. I mean, Adam West is like an icon, but yeah, I don't. I don't think I've ever seen it. Let me see if I can really quick. Real Rejects Batman Ranking. I really want to watch. I would love to do a rewatch here at some point of Mask of the Fantasmast.

Oh, that movie's so good. The Batman movies ranked. This was three years ago we posted this video. I think I might have even edited this video or one of us did. Anyway, yeah, so it's been at least a few years since I have seen Batman 66. Coy. As never. That would be a, I don't know how it would do.

But it would be a very fun. reaction video to get you and I are going through the movies maybe we go back oh my god if you guys did a commentary video on the 66 one i would tune it i will leave it playing on all i will get on at the office multiple comp uh uh you know multiple profiles going so we get all those streams uh but thank you dan v and yes i mean obviously the schumacher ones definitely hearken more toward the you know fun and swing in 60s batman than the brooding gritty they're all different tones for Batman and I don't dislike them

as much as some people. Yeah, I don't feel like it's an abomination to have fun Batman because it's where things began with whimsy. Yeah, and I like Schumacher a lot and he did what he was hired to do. Schumacher is unduly maligned for those movies. Dude, he did what he was hired to do and Schumacher

is such a good director and most people don't realize like the quality of the man. The amount of classics that dude hasn't heard about. It's crazy. Lost boys. Yeah. Just lost boys being enough for a career for me. Yeah. But then there's like phone booth in Tigerland and like the dude is a fan of the opera. I remember phone booths. Such a phone booth guy.

I want my dad to see that at the Director's Guild of America. Oh, that's cool. Colin Farrell's First American Joint. Oh my God, I forgot we lost Joel Schumacher too. Yeah, like four or five years ago. I'm such a fan. Damn, crazy work. And him and Dick Donner are really good friends. They snuck in references to each other's work in their movies, which I always love.

There's a Lost Boys billboard in a Lethal Weapon. Hey. Oh, needo. Damn, I didn't know he directed flatliners too. All right. I'm going to have to go catch up on some Joel Schumacher joints. Respect to the man. We got Tony Movie Chappie D-9 Neil Blumkamp.

I saw your name in the chat. What is your full name? It's fantastic. Here, as a defender of Chappie, there aren't many of you guys. You've got to find out this man's full name. Tony movie Chappie, D-9, Neil Blumkamp fan. You are the perfect person

to be at this channel because we're, at least Greg and I are Neil Blumkamp fans. And one of the coolest tie-ins we ever got to do is they approached us when you know tying stuff in with people on social media and the internet was new and yeah they came when he was starting oates studios his like experimental film studio they came to us and they had us do like a medley of reactions to some of their shorts so you know uh it those are tricky obviously in terms of performance but it was just so cool to be like oh my god we're like helping yeah helping with this little independent venture like i think he's genius I think District 9 is one of the best sci-fi movies, period. And I thought Grand Triismo was great. I'm rooting. I want to see Grant Turismo.

It's real good. I'm rooting for him to have something of a comeback. But yes, Tony Movie Chappie, D.Nineal Blomkamp fan, thank you for being so generous here in the Super Chats. Why don't you guys ever watch the unrated cut or director's cut version for when you guys do a first-time reaction, especially for Tara and Aaron for the aliens movies? Alien 3 assembly cut should have been the only one they saw.

You know, that is a really good question. It's a myriad of factors that figure into that. Sometimes it is about the availability of a cut. Sometimes, you know, we stream a lot of things from either streaming service subscription or, worst case, we're renting them from Amazon. So sometimes that stuff's not readily available. Other times, I feel like there are probably considerations for, like, we're doing this as a first time watch.

We're going to watch the theatrical cut, and then maybe down the line. People will come back and revisit it in the director's cut. fashion or something like that other times it's just about what appears to be the most definitive like it really does depend and yeah it's a it's a series of factors and i can understand certainly why with the alien movies you would feel this way um yeah i mean here's hoping that maybe they can look at the assembly cut down the line i would love to see that cut i've never seen that cut yeah me neither and i mean the more i hear about what alien three was supposed to be the more fascinating it sounds yeah um but yeah it depends

And I mean, you know, some movies we have done the director's cuts and some movies, you know, obviously it's theatrical. It all depends on opinion, availability, et cetera, and if there are plans to revisit this anywhere down the line. But, yeah, keep your eyes peeled. You never know. Gopal Sarnagadaran. Sorry, that's my horrible American pronunciation of your name. Gopal Sarnedar. there you go good enough was missing by friday coy fix then saw this come up well there you go there you go we're doing fridays now live streaming we could feel you jones in and yes this is sort of the

new home for all things the real rejects podcast i'm sure there'll be a recorded one somewhere down the line but yeah these are really fun as lives and your guys support uh just bolsters these being able to stay a weekly staple of the channel even on a slow news week so thank you so much guys And Go Pal, thank you for chiming in. O.G. Carlos, thank you for sending some nice support here, very generous as well, with the announcement of a live-action adaptation TV show, one of my favorite games of all time. Life is strange. My day couldn't have been better, but here you guys are making it better. Love you guys. Hey. Life is strange. I don't know that one. It sounds familiar, but also life just is strange for real. Yep, so, like, you know, maybe it's just a documentary.

It's a series of adventure games published by Square Enix's external studios. I like Square Enix. I'm a Final Fantasy boy. Okay. Yeah, these were released in episodes, I suppose, and it spawned a comic book series. I mean, these images look pretty cool. I will have to check it out. I didn't realize even that they were adapting this, although, yeah, it looks pretty, like a pretty cool sort of sci-fi, supernatural kind of thing. Either way, hell yeah, for, I mean, I'm glad that we could just be the cherry on top of, yeah, this adaptation announcement.

It's going to be adapted as a prime video series, not bad at all. What kind of game is this? Comment below. Fill us in, let us know. I'm trying to read about it fast, but it's not... Square Enix is known for their speed and total comprehension and quick bursts. There we go. Life is Strange follows a photography student named Max, who learned she can rewind time as she attempts to save her longtime friend Chloe as she struggles to understand this new skill the pair investigate the mysterious disappearance of a fellow student uncovering a dark side to their town that will ultimately force them to make an impossible life or death's choice that will have packed them forever sounds pretty cool yeah congratulations i'm glad i love when

uh you know just a exciting adaptation comes down the line so cheers to you and cheers to dan v 900 generously chiming back into the chat i know it's unlikely but with Clayface next year. A fun lead would be watching the animated series two-parter then the Batman two-parter where Clayface was Bruce's best friend in that show.

Very different. I would love that. I would love to go back to, again, we would need sort of the infrastructure to make this sensible. But I would love to go back and watch some of the animated Batman series especially.

Yeah, Batman the animated series is one of the best things. Yeah. So good. Yeah. And too, as these movies come up, Like, I've really, really enjoyed getting to watch the DC animated movies with you. And so even doing like, oh, yeah, Clayface is going to be relevant.

Let's do a medley of episodes that are all Clayface-centric or something like that. Like, as cool as it would be to work through the show linearly and do it comprehensive style. Like, I also could imagine, yeah, taking individual or, you know, a couple handful of episodes featuring certain characters or motifs. And, yeah, going from there. Yeah, that'd be fun. I'm a down. Yeah, absolutely. Good idea, Dan V.

Beast Titan Titan Thank you for chiming in Iron Claw is a must I know Greg has watched it but wanted more of this team to react to that film Zach Efron

Let's go Well I haven't seen it So you know Maybe one day Who knows What are my favorite movies that year Really? It's real incredible

I'm not even in like a wrestling guy But it's really moving and special Okay It's quite good I'm excited to learn more About the lives of those guys the flying guys. The Grayson's?

Yes, the Flying Graysens says who it was. I forgot their last name. But yeah, that story is brutal. It sounded like, the Iron Claw's name. Iron Claw, because Holt McAllenny is their dad. Yes, the Vaughan Erics, there we go. There it is. Yeah.

That cast is stacked. It's crazy. It's so good. And yeah, I've heard quite a compelling and in some ways, tragic tale. Yeah, I'll add it to the list and we'll see what happens. No promises, but I would love to watch it. Matt Diavino, thank you for chiming in.

Would you all ever come to Toronto fan since 2016 Hondo emoji? Thank you so much for sticking around. You're going on a 10-year anniversary right now. That's crazy. I can't even believe that that's possible. Yeah, it's a run. That's a run.

Well done, Coy. You did it. I did it. I've been watching him watch the channel for 10 years. We're watching you right now. Right now. I've been in Toronto. It's lovely.

I've never been. I've only been outside the country one time. Been to Mexico City one time. Oh, I remember this. And I was shocked by it then. You got to travel, John. I know. I've been in Toronto for work and for fun.

Oh. Went there for the boys. And I went there for my grandparents live up there. I love Toronto. Hell yeah. I would go to Toronto. But I don't know if like any work will ever bring me back. If there's a con and they would.

So, uh, yeah, Toronto, here we come. Let's do it. Go to Toronto. I say, I am down. And yeah, I would just love the time and excuse to go. So mark your calendar. Tony movie chappie, D-9 Neil Blomkamp, Phan is back. He's back. You have the best name on this channel right now, and I appreciate you being so generous. time's over, as well as with your time. Question, would you guys be down with doing some first-time watches to bad movies like

Tara and Aaron first-time React to Rollerball 2002 remake would be hilarious? Do you take recommendations? We take recommendations into account, especially, you know, the more innumerable they are, the better a chance they are to, you know, move the needle. We don't take direct recommendations the way we use. used to, we used to on Patreon, like, have an actual, like, request to you. But these days, yeah, the, the, the, the, there's a hive mind of scheduling that exists between Greg and Alex and some other people that, that they have the sort of master, you know,

key for all of that. But I have been saying for a while, like, I would love that to be an aspect of the channel, maybe take part of the Wild Card Wednesday slot in, you know, yeah, doing stuff that's either cult or so bad it's good. or, you know, an old classic or just something off the beaten path. And so, yes, I would love to watch a roller ball or a troll two or a samurai cop

or, you know, any number of those things. I mean, we had such a blast recently watching War of the Worlds, which, you know, became a phenomenon because it's new and because it's so inexplicable and all that. But, you know, that was a really fun time. And there are a lot of movies, like when we did Twilight,

I know that there is a thriving market out there of people roasting Twilight and people who don't like those movies and like that was an experience where I was like let's not do the so bad it's good thing let's not come in just to roast this let's actually give a chance see what works

stuff won't work sure we'll have fun with that anyway but let's see what works but I would like to do something yeah that is like directly in that world because I'm a mystery science theater kid I love weird B movies and stuff so I couldn't first time react to roller blocks I saw in theaters oh I wanted to

so bad i begged i thought it looked cool as shit from the commercial and i think my sister saw it and was like it's pretty boring you shouldn't watch it it's just mostly people talking politics i did see it so uh but i would love to watch that on this channel so thank you for the uh interest and uh yeah i would love to do something like that uh chappy d nine neil blom camp fan it's zip lock zenith excellent name thank you for chiming into the chat almost missed it again thank God. Question for Koi and John. What are your favorite rap albums this year? For me

it's the new Clips and Jid albums. Oh my God. This is a this is probably you're going to have a more comprehensive. There's been not a ton of like I beloved hip-up albums this year for me. I did like the Clips album quite a bit. Clips albums are rad. Lotus, a shout out to Little Sims. I mean, her work

is outstanding. Her consistency is great and Lotus is pretty rad as well. Tow to the creator's new album is pretty solid. It's definitely fun oh yeah don't tap the glass yeah there's not a lot of fun um 2000s hip hop right now and that that definitely reminds me of like 2000s like party hip up i remember him being out here saying like this is you this is made for dancing yeah move and have fun damn it reminds me very specifically of the early 2000s uh so i really like those two albums but last year at kendrick and dochi

and like that's like uh most of my favorite new stuff is from just last year yeah um yeah i think those two clips and uh tyler yeah shouts out to clip shouts out to tyler for me i'll say lotus little sims and black hole superette asop rock uh you know man's continues to evolve and twist and warp in ways that i love and he just put out every now and again he'll put out a one off track yeah he did a one called long-legged larry which is literally just like one of those old school songs about a frog who goes around saving people as you do and uh he just released a new one in that vein that's all about like construction vehicles uh you know and and like so fun he's like you know obviously his his his thing isn't being like family friendly rapper but

occasionally he'll just put out something that's like this is just an all ages song and he's rapping about construction in ways i never thought possible so uh shouts out to asop rock always um but yeah those are those are what's on my radar right now new kneecap single just came out it's pretty great hey okay pretty solid really good stuff uh aren't they banned from the country right now they are visas all got revoked because they said you know they're they're things that i don't I don't know if I got demonetized for saying. But I am also a huge fan of Orbital and the Orbital and Crystal Method guys teamed up with kneecap to make some beats. And that's really cool.

Hell yeah. Okay. Bitch. And what's the best hip hop you guys have heard this year? Leave it in the chat. I bet you all have some interesting takes on that as well. Who do we got? We got a couple more stragglers and then we're done.

Thank you so much, the brink of film. Hey, Rejects, love the pod. It helps me get through a cleaning job I hate doing on weekends. So thank you for that.

My question for you is, if you could get one DC Elseworld project made and put it in theaters, what would it be, and who would play the character? I want Mr. Miracle to be canon. the DCU, so not an else world. So not Mr. Miracle. I know what mine is. I know my movie. I'm trying to think of the actor.

Oh, yeah, that's a good point. I'm going to figure out an actor. I guess Javier Boutette would have to be my actor. Because I want to do Manbat. So I would need like a spindly creature suit guy to do it. Or that guy who was in the end

of Alien Romulus, that basketball player Maybe he would be a good man, bat. That would be terrifying. It would be really terrified. I'm going to go Animal Man. Yeah, cool. Because I want super meta to not mess up the continuity of the DCU. Sure.

And I want there to be a way they somehow make that fourth wall break page turn, but in cinema, work. And I'm going to say either Billy Magnuson, Joe Keary. Okay. He's on the new Tame Impala track. Oh, yeah? Or at least in the music video. So I've heard. I think it dropped today.

I think Billy Magnuson or Joe Keri or like that kind of like new movie star like swag but funny but still has empathy. Like there's some depth. Yeah, one of those two guys, Animal Man. Hell yeah. Hell yeah. I got to be fun more Animal Man too.

It's good stuff. Grant Morrison Run is. I remember hearing when they did the new 52 like that that was like one the best titles. That was fun. Yeah. Yeah. But the Grant Morrison original like Grant Morrison's volume one,

volume two or two of the best. comics of all time. All right. I'll add them to my to my TBR. Yes. Nightwing I see in the chat. Definitely would be cool

to get a nightwing else world. Ooh, and I think someone's going to pick up that new Batman tonight. Love you too, Cowboy Elijah. Let's see. Yes, don't worry about

commenting out of sync. We're lucky to be as in sync as we are. Yeah, we're happy. And also, we are nearly done here, but we do have a couple more super chats to read out before the very end.

Thank you guys. seriously for being here, for making me feel welcome on the stream, for making this a fun, relaxed Friday morning. I have no idea if this is, you know, going to be one of the more popular episodes. It's kind of a slow news week, but I always enjoy being in here and as frantic as I can be beforehand trying to make sure all the shit is where it needs to be. It's really fun to be on here and chatting with you, bud, so I appreciate that. GoPal is back. GoPal, okay, here we go again, here we go again. I'm going to get it. I promise you go pal sarn gadarum

sarn gadarin Emma Myers for Starfire What say you? I don't know her work I looked her up I think I've seen this person Oh she's on Wednesday

And she's in Minecraft Those are two things I haven't seen Well Well she's really good on Wednesday And you know For what she had to do in Minecraft Also held it down So

So I John will co-sign I will co-sign I'm very much enjoying Well and this season of Wednesday did a body swap episode. She's like Wednesday's, you know, roomy friend slash polar opposite personality.

So she got to be the deadpan for an episode. And oh, that's fun. Jenna Ortega got to be like bright and bubbly. Oh, that's cute. And so, yeah, you know, there was a fun little range experiment there. And yeah, I could, I could see that. This is not a bad call at all. You know, more Emma Myers, please.

Or the girl who plays Agnes, maybe. I don't know if her vibe would fit, but she certainly has big eyes in red, hair. Anyway, Dante Woodback, thank you for chiming in the chat. Does Koi like Sugar Sean O'Malley? I do.

I think that he's not quite as good as he was being advertised in the beginning, but he's an incredible fighter. Like anyone in the UFC is, you know, a top percentile. I think he's had some really tough fights that threw off his confidence, but he's an incredible fighter. He's a very interesting persona.

He's a lot as a human, but like, yeah, I enjoy his vibe, and he's a crazy dude absolutely i i agree with you because i know what you're talking yeah those are all words you would also say about he's got like uh rainbow corn rose he's an irish dude he's a very intense like scrappy skinny fighter and he definitely like he's willing to put his chin out like he gets he gets pummeled and and keeps going a lot harder than most dudes his size hell yeah go sugar sean i would love to get like the becky lynch braid just oh yeah just to do that wrestling uh vibe there.

Let's see. I've done warrior braids into a when I had the long hair and that was fun. That's pretty sick. Yeah, I liked that look. Produce a picture of that

for next time. Creative, good-ass name. Coy. Thank you for chiming in, by the way. I need your guesstimate comic recommendations video maybe please. For all the 2026 to

27 movies coming out ASAP, Superman 2, lanterns. Brand new dead. Brand new day, thank you, sir. I was like brave and the, nope, uh, anyway. Brave and the dumb, brave and, dumb brave people. Uh, I, uh, it's tricky.

I, I'm happy to give comic recommendations anytime like super chats and stuff and I do live on my page for that very reason, but making the videos, if you do them too early, those videos tank and then all my future comic videos tend to tank. Uh, the algorithm is, is a fickle beast and doing comic content is already the least profitable thing I do, which is unfortunate, because that is what I love the most is comic stuff. But if I make the videos too early, then no one searches them, and then the algorithm

says no one searches Koi's page for comic stuff. So I unfortunately have to do those closer to when the movies are coming out, so there's the algorithm and the SEOing and the people searching. But if you ever want a specific thing, I'm always able to ask, uh, I just as far as making the videos, it has to be closer to release. That makes a

lot of sense. YouTube gods. YouTube gods. Get it together, man. All right. We got one more to go. Here we go. You ready? Let's do it. The last question from Robert Proycer.

Thank you so much for your continued generosity throughout this stream and for just attending so many of these. I think in Brand New Day. There we go. In Brave N. Doubled, all one word. Yeah, that's what I think. In brand new day, Punisher gets the jetpack with the rockets like in the 90s cartoon,

possibly steals a war machine type suit or new tech in general if he tries to fight Savage Hulk. He needs some armor. What do we say? I don't know if they're going to... I mean, I think they're going to go obviously larger than life to a point, but I don't know if John Bernthal's Punisher is a rocket pack kind... Like, that is a few steps removed from how grounded and gritty he's been so far. I do think he's going to get some tech and he's going to get some armor and things.

He has been canonically War Machine. Like, that is a thing that's happened. So there is a possibility. Yeah, it's pretty intense. So there is a possibility of some sort of Iron Man suit element. I just don't know how far they'll go because John Bernthal's playing him so grounded. So we'll see. It would be funny.

We get Spider-Man away from Iron Man next to Tech, and then we get just a different guy doing the same thing. But as an antagonist, instead of being a father figure, he's like red. Does he, so he must have guns sprouting from all over the place. He doesn't need to carry guns anymore. Yeah, it just is guns. Well, could be fun. Yeah.

Fun in the guns. Well, gang, I'm doing one more round of refreshes, but I think that's going to do us for today. uh coy how you feeling uh you know i'm i'm feeling still tired but but revitalized by the people it's always nice to like it to hang out with people like live live uh but also john you know we don't get to make enough videos we don't we don't get to hang enough so it's always nice to see and get to just vibe absolutely hell yeah dude thank you for still showing up even though i'm not gregg and uh thanks to all of you guys who've chimed in who have been here
