Episode Date: June 28, 2024

The city's youth have fallen prey to a mysterious new drug called Mash and the person capable of saving the day is a cowboy and his catatonic son! Also... Spider-Man is there too. Oh! And Kitty Pryde likes hugging old men she just met after breaking all of their shit! Join Corey, Dylan, and Jon as they watch episode 3 of Japanese Spider-Man and the pilot episode of the late 1980's X-Men cartoon - Pryde of the X-Men!

That's what that's ultimately leading towards. But, I mean, he just fought a computer that was cursed because it contained every magical spell. And the aspect of putting the magical spells in a database to log them, caused them all to cast at the same time. Yeah. Okay. Because we did, people didn't know how computers really worked in the 90s is why I gathered reading the story. I, I are. People might not know how computers work today.

You're right. You're right. I have no idea Yep Hey everybody welcome to Snark Avengers That was our update on 90s characters Does anybody have any updates on Sugarman Is he still just a giant torso

Or a face for a torso Yeah I brought him I let him come into my house yesterday He's really like You know what ironically He's quite a sweet man You know what you mean Loves jigsaws

Don't John I do have to say thank you for bringing sugar man back to our lives. No worries. He needs to be in everyone's life. He needs to be everywhere. He needs to shrink down into your boot. Yeah.

Oh, he struck that into our hearts. Yeah, he sure did. My heart grew three times larger and it's because he accidentally started to enlarge himself again. Yeah, it made me really sick. Yeah. Yeah. John, real quick, what is your movie count up? Oh, it is currently at.

356. Very nice. I like how every time you act like you're unprepared for me to ask. What was the last film? The last film was called Killing Season, which stars Robert De Niro and John Travolta with the single Worf Beard I think I've ever seen. And well, saying that his Serbian accent was pretty dicey as well. sounded somewhere between Scottish and the Iron Sheik. John Travolta with a beard and a serving accent

has got to be a recipe for success. Yeah, I don't think this was a huge box office hit, to be honest, but I mean, it was all right. It wasn't terrible. Good, good, good, good. On paper, it sounds good for. Yeah. Well, speaking of stuff sounds good on paper,

um, today's episode, we're going to, well, a peek behind the curtain. Originally, this was going to be our continuation of the series of Japanese Spider-Man, because at the time that we recorded the first episode where we watched episodes 1 and 2, there was a user on YouTube who had uploaded

the whole series. And I was like, oh, we'll milk the hell out of this. If there's ever a time, we're like, oh, what are we going to do? I was just watching more Japanese Spider-Man. I guess the production company that had the rights to it caught on. And those

videos all got pulled. So we have episode three of Japanese Spider-Man to watch. The other thing I kind of called an audible the last minute, and I remembered in our conversation where we had informed Dylan that there was a

Claremont-era X-Men animated pilot called Pride of the X-Men. That's on YouTube as well. So this will be kind of a mix of our two favorite topics on the show, which is Spider-Man and X-Men.

So again, we are not beating those allegations of being an X-Men podcast. So you guys are both seeing this pride of the X-Men show. Yes, but like 35 years ago or whatever, basically when it came out. I have not. I just know it existed. Okay. So I knew it was the thing. So we don't know if Sugar Man is going to be in this. really funny if he was. It would be

super funny if he was in the first episode. If it was like Boba Fett, you know how like Boba Fett was in the holiday Star Wars special that came out before Empire Strikes Back and then Boba Fett was in Empire Strikes Back? I wonder if it was a situation like that

like Sugar Man's going to be in this and then like a decade later they put out Age of Apocalypse and there he is again. What if Sugar Man's in Spider-Man? In Spider-Man. Japanese Spider-Man, like a Japanese version of Sugarman?

Yeah. Japanese Sugarman? Yeah. That'd be wild. Wasn't it? What were you saying, John? Part of Sugarman's storyline in the comics was he got

sent back in time when he came over from the age of apocalypse. So who knows? Maybe he could have traveled back. Time and then sent to Japan. Yeah. I mean, it makes sense to me. The only thing that makes sense.

So, you want to find out, right? So if you want to know the story behind Japanese Spider-Man, like, how it came into being, and, like, some of the major changes that the Japanese production company took from the series itself, watch our first episode on that. We really kind of went into the history of how this came to be and, you know, some of those big changes. Pride of the X-Men don't really have too much information as to where it came back. from or why because like I said this is an audible last second I've already forgotten everything happened in the other Spider-Man episodes oh it's great there's a little robot thing isn't there yeah well there's a there's a monster that start off as a little a little guy yeah and then they made him grow big okay and then they made him grow even bigger yeah and then Spider-Man

uses robot yeah his leopard robot yeah everybody knows that Spider-Man has Yeah. And there's a bad guy who looks a bit like Dr. Doom. Okay. Yeah, there's the, it was like Professor Monster? Yeah. There you go. Yeah, because it's the Iron Cross Army.

Because, you know, because why would it be? Good stuff. Quality stuff. So we're going to handle this same way we did Generation X. We're, you know, there is, if you just go on to YouTube and you do a quick search, The name of the channel that episode three of Japanese Spider-Man is on is Infinite Machine Comics. Plug for those folks. And we'll do a countdown.

We'll start to watch. You'll listen along to us if you want to watch it on your end. And I think afterwards we'll have a quick little thing, and we'll jump into Pride of the X-Men. I'm good. Yeah. Any other thoughts before we dive head first into episode three of Japanese Spider-Man? I just can't wait to see what has. happens.

I really hope he climbs up that building again. Oh, that was a lot. All right. So we're going to go three, two, one, go. You guys ready? Yeah. All right. Three, two, one, go.

I figured he screams at the beginning. Yeah. Oh, just like Spider-Man does, you know. Yep. There's that building. Yeah, there is. Between the Dark Valleys of buildings. Spider-Man.

Oh, yeah, he's got a motorbike. Yeah, yeah, he's a motorcycle rider. He's not a photographer. Yes. He's a photographer. He has a motorbike and a giant robot just like the real Spider-Man. Yeah, no, he's not a photographer. His sister is a reporter, though.

It was a robot. Yeah, there it is. Really flying through the sky. Is this, um, is this a better opening theme than the 60s cartoon? I don't remember that. You don't remember that? The infamous Spider-Man, Spider-Man does whatever Spider-Camp?

Oh, yeah, yeah, that one? I do remember that, yeah. I mean, I kind of prefer the 90s animated series. Oh, that was way better. Yeah. Spider-Man. I think Joe Perry from Aerosmith playing the guitar on it. No shit.

This guy's so cool. From the moment they're with a hat, I'm like, This Joe Perry for Smith? He's a sniper, apparently. My goodness. Look at him, knock all those cans over. Totally. And that's not the same footage, guys. It's different. He fired that gun way more times than he had targets to hit, so he missed a lot.

Or had bullets in his sixth shooter. Shoot the camera. He also had way more bullets than that. Does that look a bolt action rifle? What did I tell you about playing with cans, you stupid kid? that was him that was me doing his boys what do we think

this guy's called no it's I think his name is the detective his son I think his name is the detective yes I've just got a punch I don't know

what the boy is the detective what the fuck he's just got a beach ball what hey go to heaven there's what he said what what

what what wait wait a minute he got the playboy body body on his sweater I got a minute. Things escalated and strangely quickly.

Oh, she got cut. Did you say good morning? I'm going to fucking kill you. Does it hurt? Well, I mean, I was slit. What was his motive? Mash. Mash? Mash potato. It's more popular. What do they say? More popular than paint thinner and what? Hey, it's Dr. Doom. Oh, so we're selling drugs to the kids.

I bet Spider-Man is not going to sit around and let that happen. Of course the mushroom man is the drug dealer. What the fuck? What? What's wrong with his face? Oh, what is this? I don't like that. Where's he pulling them from?

Oh, boy. He's giving birth to them. Oh, that's not good. She's watching that very perfectly. We're at a disco now. Why do we, Corey, why did you do this to us? You didn't like that man plucking mushrooms out of his own orifices? Come on.

Man. What? Whoa. A bootsy collets? Are there just a bootsy collants drop in there? What's his name? Hypnoister. So wait, MASH makes you stab people who say good morning and also drop that after dancing for a while.

They just look like they're going to sleep. Spinebar runs to the thick and building Yep He's doing a lot of detective work By climbing that one building There he is again Yep Oh

So cool Hop There we go He does all his own stunts So cool Oh What All right he's on the drugs

I was like I see okay Oh oh What's gonna happen here. There's a lot of depth in this so far. Yep. Whoa. Oh. Wait, his helmet fell off. Oh, there it is. I like that. It's actually a really good shot. With the spinning helmet under the spilling

light. I feel like we're speed running. Like a whole story. Yeah. There was definitely suicide. Now here's the Cowboys. It's a detective. And son. Well, maybe he's the son and the kids are the detective. Maybe he's like a hardy-law situation. You should let yourself

with firearms. What? So here's the fun fact. Detectives in Japan just like cowboys if they're in the drug business. I also like how he's like,

he always has a sum with him. Fair enough. That seems dangerous. It's not like a detective is a dangerous job. Yeah. He's only investigating drug dealers.

People like fucking die from the drugs. What? Hit him with the guitar. I think he was holding the guitar. Dylan, as a musician, is the guitar making an adequate weapon? Well, you should ask Jeff Jard. Look at him holding a guy at bay with a guitar. That is not an efficient way to do.

He's so gentle with the guitar because he doesn't want to break it. That's true. What do you think, Detective? Kill him. Oh, he's going to kill him. Where's the president? Those guys must feel really stupid. They just got the shit kicked out of the ball.

by one guy with a guitar and a stick of dynamite. Jesus Christ, that seems like overkill. Just run out of the room. That guy's fucked, but the rest of you aren't. Yeah, but the detectives fucked too. I'll take this with me. Wow, how cool was that? Mm-hmm.

Don't hold it. But these guys are dumbasses. Not so fast. It's me, Spider-Man. you involve your son. He's the only one that's made any sense, so that's exactly correct.

Yes. Why did he... He didn't seem to have many issues at all with the fact that this man in a skin-tight leotard just to cost him. He just totally knows how old bad experience. You know, I reckon there's something bad in that house.

You know, I think Spider-Man might be honestly I can see all these people that are shooting at him. So what's the son doing, just sitting in the car, like playing a Game Boy? Yeah. Just wait. Why don't the guards kill the sun? Well, come on.

What? Uh-huh. Oh. That was the same shot. I don't think that's the fact of the way to shoot a gun. The he-man villain just said no. Is that a different gun? Oh, Spider-Man's got his roof.

No, it's a time, son. don't show that shot of him lurking with a kid in the foreground. Come on. I don't know if I said this in the last thing. I think it did, but some of these camera shots are fun. It really is. They're really,

like some of the choices they make, given their severely limited budget, some of them are actually really good. Some of them clearly not so good. The door was already open. Yeah. He opened it with his foot because it was a door that opened outward. It's not like he kicked it in.

Right. Oh man, someone's weightlifting. He's like, MASH, we're going to be rich. We'll sell it. What happened, son? Amazonness. So how does the detective know this guy?

I think that's why he was interrogating of those people with the fake stick of dynamite. Oh, he was trying to find this guy? Yeah, I think so. Is the kid psychic? That's him all right. He doesn't say much. No.

this one doesn't make a whole like a sense does it it's been a bit of a wild one considering Spider-Man's not been featured very much in it don't pick it in your car what do you mean it's reckless no he just walked into that fucking drug house and find two dead bodies

that fuck Spider-Man says don't drink and drive or please tell me they're going to do the reveal where he's the kid and the small kids the father revenge the kid killed my mother A kid is my mother

Oh man he didn't even cool A cooler hat back in the day Oh wait so a year ago they already knew mash existed So I'm confused because like episode one The monsters just came to Earth Yes So but they have been here this whole time

Yes the mushroom monster a year ago Was making these horrible Mushroom drugs Coincidentally enough the mushroom guy was here. Someone who killed my wife. Oh, shit. Oh, man, he got hit by a car.

That's my joke. But then he went on to successfully fight in the anarchy in the arena much. I feel like that's not how amnesia works, but okay. Yeah, he has amnesia, so he just stares of people. Yeah. That's why we bring him on these dangerous, you know, investigations. Because he's scary. So he was the detective before this started.

He just had a much different hat. So he changed this aesthetic from peeky blinders to cowboy. I really like it how it looks like Spider-Man has got angry eyes, even though it's just his suit. Like he always has angry eyes. See? See? How am I getting home?

There's no buildings right here to swing off. How do you restore the kid's memory? Like, what's the end game? I chase this guy down to stop the drugs, and then my kid will just remember. No, no, no, stop it. Here's some of this. I don't want to stop.

Stop showing this. Oh my God. They're really happy with that monster effect. I like her she's like it's expected. Like it's definitely coming out of that hole, right? Let me see. What? Why is he going to beak?

What? Yeah, they have beaks. I don't know why. Okay. I'm going to fuck that kid up. A hundred? There's no way you got a hundred. fish, you idiot.

What? I swear to God, I thought that was Wolverine's clause. How did they make that shot? It looks like around the corner. Yeah, right. He's not alivated at all. What the hell?

These are amazing shots. They don't want to risk actually hitting someone, so they're just doing like quick cut. Oh, boy. It was harder to add it in the 70s. it looks like he's wearing a mask under his mask yeah

it does and he got lost he's well the cowboys are fishing and Spider-Man's lost in the woods well just listen to the guitar so what do you think of his guitar playing for him oh he's absolutely not playing that seemed a little more intricate

to the way he was doing yeah oh I love watching people pretend to play the guitar I love it because you can tell like they don't know what the overdub is going to be, and it's never close. It's a nice, like, a fire, though. Your mother warmed their milk for you. I don't know why.

I don't know why that's fun. All night long, because there's nothing better than milk that's been warmed for an entire night. Can I have sideburn. Kid, I wrote this song, all about you. You got to remember. He just slap his kid in the face. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

He's sick. The kid is singing this song? he did it in the past it looks like so this kid's signing a song in the past about himself yes what is this we should have watched

prior to the X-Men first no no we start with this first you know I feel like that's gonna be a little more cohesive it's yeah it's just not gonna be as good how good I don't it'll be this good you say that until Sugarman shows up he the only way it'll be good as if he shows up

Splish. Did you hear me splishing? How did they just not realize she was approaching them? What? Here were you? Those guys, like, I could have swore there were two people here. They're going to beat my kid. What?

Huh? Thank you, Spider. There was a spider there that would weave that into a web, Charlotte's web style? And then made it blink? Oh, she was bad girl. Oh shit, dude. Wow, he fell all the way down

and then it was still at the very top. Spider-strings. Look, he's still at the top of the mountain. Darned Spider-Man. Damn it, Spider-Man, again. I'm just trying to kill him, man. A kid doesn't even speak. What was he expecting to happen there?

The spider was like, well, the kid's not on the side of this mountain. I checked everywhere. I love all the practical climbing effects. Beautiful stuff right there. What? All right. Now his turn. Roll backwards. Wouldn't this spider sense be like, wait a minute.

Oh, it did. Oh, boy, you got ahead of me, Spider-Man. I, okay, I don't know what happened there. No, is that mushroom boy? There he is. I didn't know that was a mushroom. Yeah, is that one of his other titles?

What the fuck move is this? Stop showboating and hit him. Yeah, you're fucked now, Spider-Man. We have a little boy. Look, take a look at those swords next time you get a chance, all right? He was wearing a mask or the mask.

But, well, and the mask is, like, part of the larger, it's like, it's all connected. Hey, the kid made your noise. My son, being held by a giant, greared mushroom man.

Tabber snap, kid, tap or snap. Oh, so this, this, okay. So, so the mushroom I kill his... I don't remember if the mushroom man is the one of response. His mushroom... And that's why I get hit by a car.

Yeah. because Musherman killed his mother a year ago. The Musherman, yeah, shingled the mom and then he got hit by a car. It all makes sense now. Now he remembers. I'm your puppy. Wow. Play son.

Yes. No, we got to admit that that stuff that Jeff Jarrett did not think of. No. I didn't see that coming. No. I was the gun's gone. Yeah. That was pretty good.

great shot though. He missed all of them. No. My guitar gun? Oh, so no, it's too dangerous for the kid? Obviously not. Very Spider-Man's here. He just fell down the mountain again of his own accord.

Yeah. Fighting in that poncho must be difficult. He's a detective. He can do anything. I forgot that the poncho was a standard issue with the role. detective. You don't know what the Japanese detectives are like.

That is glorious. Some people just randomly have guns. I love how they always do the jumping shot where you can absolutely see his gudge all the time. Oh, I thought Spider-Man is going to use that gun. Spider-Man doesn't use a gun. He's got webs and a Jan robot. There's no need for that. Just lying out back and shooting the guy.

Like, come on, man. Whoa! Machine, bam big, Kinnogger. Look, you see, every time he jumps, you see his fucking goo. They're really like, you got to look at this. Marveler. He's just, the robot was just waiting around, like hovering around outside the city.

Imagine he grew so big and then a big robot shot you and that was the end of you. He didn't even get a chance to do anything. I mean, that's what... So far, we don't know anything this guy does except produces mushrooms out of his body and chokes Japanese women. And he choked a kid as well, remember? Oh, that's right.

He also has a gun in his titty. Sword vigor. Bam. Yeah, fuck you. That's it. Did kill him instantly? Yeah, it sure did. Doesn't that seem...

Look, listen, I'm not going to... I'm not going to deny the fact that a woman definitely died. But doesn't this seem like... overkill? Yeah. Like, many people are dying here.

Yes. Like, I would say like tens, if not hundreds of people have just died. Well, I mean, a lot of people have died this episode as well because we saw those people die from their drug overdoses. So is that the two wrongs make it right? Is it okay to kill all the

drug dealers if they cause the deaths of the drug addicts? By the way, we still have no explanation of why Spider-Man had so many masks underneath his costume. Yeah, what would, like, would he just cap going for it, like, Infinity?

Oh, big, big tears. My son. Dylan, I hope they can cry when I hook you like that. Huh? What do you say? Do you call that tough love? I let villain

shoot my, I shoot at my child for like a year. It's just tough love. It'll make him tougher. Oh, Spider-Man sad is his dad's dead. Oh yeah. There's a lot of death in that one to be continued.

It actually won't because we can't watch episode four. Spider-machine. I kind of want that car. I mean, like, do you want that car? Yeah. You don't want that car? I mean, it seems like parking would be interesting. There's a lot of wingspan on that.

Everybody would know that you're in time, though. Yeah. You know what I mean? Did Japanese Spider-Man ever fight the Power Rangers? No, but he inspired the Power Rangers. Like this game before Power Rangers. They should have done like a fight. They would have been really good.

Oh, yeah. Would win, though. Spider-Man. I know, it's one Spider-Man versus five Power Rangers typically, though. Yeah. Yeah, but one Spider-Man is incredible. Didn't you see his Goody shirt? He'll do it again.

Whoa. Next episode that we won't see. kid being threatened. Wow. A suspicious woman involved in the disappearance. What? The sweet whisper of an enchantress. So is this the tie-in to Thor?

Well. I do love the Marvel logo at the end. Yeah, that's nice. They tagged the Marvel logo at the end. Like, thanks. Marvel definitely had a lot to do with that. They sure did. They were very involved.

So, let's hear it for episode three of Deputy Spider-Man. It suddenly felt like he was not the main character of the episode. So what did everybody think? Well, like you say, I think that that smacked of like a backdoor pilot trying to set up a spin-off show for the detective. You think they would do a detective? Oh, so like Spider-Man would just make a little cameo every so often?

Yeah, yeah. Hey guys, it's me, Spider-Man. He pulls his mask off and there's like six of their masks on anything. Because that's his gimmick. I hope they do that in every episode. I don't know why he was a cowboy, especially in the flashbacks where they show him decidedly not a cowboy.

I think he was traumatized by his lifetime. The trauma made the kid a mute and him into a wacky old Wild West character. Yeah, with a crazy six-shooter and a guitar. Yeah. I mean... They didn't know how to play.

Wow, somebody knew how to play it. Somebody was playing a lovely tune. You know? And he could sing. He had tears in his eyes. I bet that's part of the spinoff. Like he's actually a great karaoke singer. But that's him showing his softer side.

And he never does it because he'd rather fight crime. They'd fight crime and he'd shoot villains. You've ever seen the Yakuza series of video games? There's always a big karaoke like mini game in it. Yeah. I'm aware of the Yakuza game. I think I've ever played them. But I'm aware of them.

They're super long. You play them? No, no, I've watched enough people playing, though, like 45-minute cutscenes. Yeah, yeah, there's a lot of that stuff. It takes a lot of inspiration from... What the fuck's that game for the Dreamcast? Shinobi, not Shinobi. What do you call that? Shindu?

Shammu, yeah, that's it. Yeah, why did I know that? Shammu has a lot of, like, cutscenes and talking and stuff. Yeah. It's a really hard game to get into because I have it for the Dreamcast somewhere There's like four discs of stuff But you're like

It's a lot of just like Not a whole lot Especially at the beginning I haven't got a long way through it But there's a lot of just kind of like What is this? You know I think I think Yakuza is a bit more

Action-packed but it definitely takes some cues from it You know cutteam-wise Yeah Anyway that's my review of Japanese Spider-Man John Do you have any thoughts on Japanese Spider-Man episode three. Or Shamu. Or Yakuza.

Nothing on Shammu or the Yakuza, but Japanese Spine Man, yeah, I mean, I want to watch more now. I can't believe the bastards have taken them all down. Yeah, I kind of want to watch it alone. I'm really annoyed. I need to know what happens next. What happens with it? Why are they always threatening kids? It's because they're easy to threaten. Listen, I understand that, you know? You know, the old, the Power Rangers series,

Zoo Ranger where the Power Rangers got all their footage from and Zoo Ranger the evil witch Bandora who they called Rita Rapulsa Bandora was all about killing kids that was like her main goal and she actually had a song about it like there is an evil witch Bandora song

and it is all about wanting to kill kids well I mean it's not wrong they're easy to kill Yeah, it was not that difficult. Yeah. Well, I thought they were easy to kill, but those villains in today's episode of Japanese Spider-Man couldn't shoot that kid for shit. They bungled that a bit, didn't they?

Maybe it's because he was so small. Could be. So let's head on over to Pride of the X-Men. Again, this is not the X-Men series of the 90s. This is sort of what was pitched to happen ahead of it. the characters are not the Jim Lee 90s X-Men. There's not going to be Gambit or Rogue or anything like that. This is going to be more of the Chris Claremont run.

So you're going to see Colossus and Dazzler and Nightcrawler and stuff. So that's a good time. This one has some really big shoes to fill. Yeah, Sugar Man's got big feet. It's not, it doesn't really, you can really small feet. But like, it's going to be really hard to beat that episode of Japanese Spider-Man. Let's be totally clear here, right? Let's be totally honest.

Before we even see this, I guarantee you there's going to be nothing in this episode that you're going to remember as much as that little mushroom man, like fart and art mushrooms? Oh, boy. You'll never forget that. It was so unpleasant looking, wasn't it? I thank the Lord that we just,

it's so easy to come up with thumbnail ideas. Right, right. So easy. Oh, it's what the people are going to be, What is that? Like, you have to watch the Japanese episode of Japanese Spider-Man to understand what that is. It's a weird mushroom, fart, not mushrooms. And we watched it.

We had to watch it. You have to watch it. You have to watch it. You watched it. You've seen it. You can't unsee it. All right. So we're going to head over into Pride of the X-Men.

This is on a channel called Rad Retro. This is uploaded two years ago. So this is an AI upscale of the best source available for the original prior to the X-Men pilot. So that's fun. Yeah, AI never fucked down with an up, so. No, no. It's not like the cover of the X-Factor comic that's coming out where Angel has seven fingers. Oops.

Yeah, have you seen that? We don't know that angels don't have seven fingers. No, no. I have a bit of a tithe, I have a tattoo of a biblically accurate angel that is six wings. Yeah. Yeah. It's a good time. scary talk

if you're not you imagine if you went to heaven you saw like loads of them walking around you're like what the this is heaven I always thought heaven was a place on earth and the mushroom man's out there

farting on mushroom's like oh no why are you here all right so we're going to do the countdown of three two one go and we're going to watch Pride of the X-Men

so Dylan you want to count us down No. Okay. John, you want a counts down? Sure, why not? Three, two, one, go. I do appreciate your honesty, Dillon. I just couldn't be bothered.

That's fair. Is it? Oh, there's some fun static sounds. Dundon, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun dun dun dun. It's okay I'm looking forward a little bit There it is

Okay Whoa That is like a commercial That is like a never Well no no Listen man I've just seen Spider-Man This isn't like I've never seen it before

This is nothing Oh my God I have that game I had that game I had that Gameboy game It's hard as shit There's a game For the SNAS

That one, that game, that game, Spider-Man and the X-Men, that game is fucking impossible. It's really hard. I played that one, too. Have you played it? Yeah. It's so hard. It's fucking ridiculous. Yeah, the storm underwater level sucks.

I've never seen that part of it. Yeah, right. That game, John, do you ever played that game? I wish. Look at this 3D. Whoa, look at Adam. Oh, my God. LJN, sign of quality.

that spider-man game fucking is impossible you have to go through this first level where your spider-man like disarming bombs before you can even get into the proper game yeah that wasn't that bad though I could get through that part pretty easily it was like all of the X-Men parts that the X-Men bits were fucking impossible

I couldn't do any of them what's Spider-Man talking about is he feeling out tax forms oh no he's voter registration Oh, how appropriate that is. That's a very timely, because that's going to be a factor for me and John, and later on in the year for Corey as well. So we all four of us, the guys on the show and Spider-Man,

we all encourage you to the vote. Please register the vote. Let your voice be heard. But through a voting voice, I don't want to actually hear your voice. This is the best film. It's a bit frost. It's a bit frost. McNeill.

Cyclops looking like a fucking idiot. This is the theme is not as good. It's Toad. Oh, but like old Toad. Really old Toad where he was like a guy from like the He was like a peasant from like the

Middle Ages. I don't like it. Well then we got a Stanley voiceover. Five or me. remember this rightly. I think they're transporting Magneto originally and then someone's going to break him out of like a truck

or something. Not the terrorist mutants. I think this sort of inspired the like the opening of X-Men 3, I think it was. Yeah. But they're laying it all pretty heavy already.

Jesus Christ. Well, usually terrorists. what referred to themselves to terrorists, so that's a problem. Well, I love her, like, the first line we hear is the guy go, I fucking hate mutants. And then this guy's like, I hope all the mutants die. Like, we get it, dude. You've kidnapped one of them.

Why does she sound like that? Yeah, that's not how I imagine I'm a fraud sounding. I'm already a witch. Can she do that? Can she do that? I'm going to say, the animation looks really fluid. Mm-hmm. also she can fly oh did she just oh did she just like pretend that happened

yeah yes she's okay that makes way more sense than her being able to turn concrete in the quicks how tall is magneto as well he's a giant eight foot tall he probably made himself bigger uh but he he manipulated the magnetisms in his bloodstream whatever I'm really confused to see like Magneto's a mutant and a terrorist but he just like got that guy

a little damp. Yeah, he didn't kill him. No. She talks like a baby. I'm a little baby. Oh, it's scary we'll imagine. I still love the Stanley voiceover considering how little he actually had to do with X-Men. I'm Charles Xavier. I didn't expect him to have that voice either.

This is my ghost body. what do you think? I am ghost dad. Follow me. This is not, he walks, he goes through a wall. And she balks her head on it.

What the fuck? I've been watching you in a totally normal way, of course. I can't wait for us to do the Charles Xavier episode. We really get into his like creepy love affair with Jean Grey when she was a 16 year old girl. Well, that's totally fine. because she went on to be the Phoenix I can't tell her that I'm in love with her

it would be wrong yes she whoa Shadokat just saw a big wall of video that had all these fucking weirdos and she just saw this guy being a ghost and she's like I'm a freak what you don't think ghost that is a fucking freak I just thought the danger room was cool

well this looks good that's a good that's a good that's a good shot the exposition is so heavy Why don't you just blast that fucking rope with your lasers, you fucking dope? That was Colossus, not Colasses. Calasus. He made out of metal.

Great accent. He's good. I could do a Russian accent, but only three words of the time. He sounds like John Travolta in that movie I watched earlier. That is good. I was talking about the robot. He'll fuck you up. Stay away from him.

Yep. Look how cool he was walking away. Good eye, Bob. Goddie. Not creepy at all. And also the ghost thing that you saw earlier. You'll just have to take my word for it that I'm not going to prove into your mind. Nothing you would know.

You can see it to people's minds? Yes, but not yours, of course. I would never do that too. Such a lovely young woman such as yourself. Is everybody in this fucking mansion a creep? Kid to your phasing. You fucked up my computer. Now I'm going to fuck you up.

Okay. If you say so, she fucked up my computer and ruined everything. Come on in, kid. What? Storm's the best one so far. Storm's definitely the best voice so far. All the rest of them are really weird.

Shadow Cat's okay, guys. Why? Wait for me. Why? Yeah. I don't like Mike Brother. We've been going to bring this kid along. Remember?

Were the detectives and she's our son? He didn't have to push those trees over. Do you guys think that he looks, he's just too big? What if he was like a smaller juggernaut? Like a baby size juggernaut? Yeah, I would say like kind of like an infant kind of thing, you know? imagine not running towards you but it's a baby you know what I mean kidding stop walking into the computers

my computers up you know what's annoying but this some of it is definitely more well animated than other parts juggernaut skipping across the grass not so impressive what I've already seen you for five minutes take this shit it's incredibly important don't let that guy that will beat the shit out of you stealing from you. Why does the juggernaut sound like he's about to puke? Wait, I thought her phasing huge technology broke it.

Do you guys think that Magneto sounds a little bit like Shredder? I don't know what he sounds like. Do you want to be like a little bit? Interesting. Did you know Shredder was Uncle Phil from Fresh Prince? Yeah. Yeah. That's amazing.

Oh, here come the here come the tarthicles. Oh dear. her first job played the X-Men and she fucked it up already God, you fucked up the computers then you dropped the magic ball I just love Stan Lee is our like narrator

this all happened really quickly where like they got the call to leave so they all left and then as soon as they left Magneto appeared you're like you guys couldn't have seen Magneto or like didn't get at all like an alert to say Magneto was on the grinds you know who was that

Pyro? No was that Cyclops that said that I think. Geez. Oh, they're hogging each other. I'm a little confused as to why Glossus talks in the third person. Is that like a Russian thing?

Is that what we're trying to suggest? I also love how Wolverine sounds more Australian than the Australian character. And even that's a stretch. Oh, the inconvenience them. I better teleport over to give this doll to the girl that she could easily have picked it up herself. That's the extent of his contributions to this mission as well.

Thanks for comment, dude. We really, good thing you came with us, dude. We couldn't have stayed at the, I was going to say, museum. What do you call it a mansion? It's not a museum. It might be a museum. Is this Asteroid M? I guess.

Yeah. Wow. Oh, my God, he sounds like Peter Lorry. I don't like it. Oh, he kicked Lockheed. How dare he? That'll probably not come up again. are they going to explain why there's a tiny ass dragon here

I did it yes mister yes I get chocolate now master because I did it I get it to eat the dragon master gave Bobby a sock so like nobody's going to be like of course there's a tiny dragon here

yeah Everybody knows the dragons come from space. She's probably fucking up the computers. Why don't they keep letting nightcrawler talk to people? I know you're a nice guy, night crawler, but people keep freaking out. Like, let's, all right, if you're on conscious and you wake up and night crawler, like, hello? Oh, hello there, the small child, lip shit. Hello?

Let me touch you. No. I'm going to hold your hands with my little three-finged hands. No, thank you, sir. Or, madam, I'm not sure. I like how they were like, No, it's not us. Magneto is the bad guy.

She was like, that's right. It is Magneto, that's bad. And I'm saying, entirely of my own free will. She has known Xavier for like two hours. Yeah. And she's fucked up all his computers.

Yeah. That's a hell of a costume Storm's boring. It really is. Wow, I hadn't noticed that before. There's a lot going on there. You know what you mean? Is this the plot?

to the X-Men movie. Wait, how can you do that? Meggyos wearing the helmet. That shouldn't work at all. But he tracked him though. He didn't specifically find Magneto, did he? Yeah.

I thought he was just... I thought that the helmet stopped him from being able to read his mind. Yeah, but I mean, still we would think it would work against all his powers. Well, we didn't factor in this entire garbage show.

What is this? this, what galaxy you're in? There are way too many planets. I'm glad they put Dazler in this cartoon, huh? Yeah, she's doing a lot of heavy letting. She's really, really taking care of business. Wait, later on, she'll be the one that blows up the comet.

The kids go water, water, water, whatever. What's my Wolverine? Look at the, what is the scaling? Look how small nightcrawler was in comparison to everyone else. Well, he was far away. Yeah, look.

See? Kitty, like, looms over him. Wait, wait, wait a minute. So, she just left her in this fucking giant mansion with all those expensive computers and they're like,

well, that's fine. I mean, she's not here by yourself. Parking orbit? Yep, we're parking in orbit. Huh. Can start to do that? She controls weather. She can't create an atmosphere.

That makes more sense. What? It's a good thing you find the one space suit we had that fits you perfectly. She keeps hugging the professor. I don't know how I feel about that. Oh, I know how I feel about it. We're going to talk about it all day. How did he shoot that blast out of his eye, which has a helmet over the world?

Don't worry about it. No, I want to worry about it. Don't worry about it. That's the one thing I do want to worry about. I do like how they specifically stated, like, when we blow the airlock, Storm, we need you to use your powers, create an atmosphere. Wait a minute. So Wolverine's the only one not wearing a spacesuit.

Well, good thing we left to the Dazler. Yeah, Dazer just pelting him over and over again. Really working her ass off here. He's the best character. Oh, it's me. He sounds like Ghalm. He does a little bit, doesn't he? I bet that's where he got the voice from.

Ah, fuck. Tell you what, though, he sure can't. jump. So one by one, they're dealing with an individual member. Yeah, how are they going to get through this guy? Yeah, look at your or not. Fucking pecks. I'll stop you by ripping this fucking thing

apart. They're going to hug again. Oh, I know. That was a little bit. What are they doing? Just punch him. There we go, and that's what I'm talking about. What? No. Cyclops in his future ex-wife or girlfriend. He's going to fuck it up, though. That's it.

That's all that Frost does. Yep. Oh, Nat caller's going to seduce the blob, and they're going to have, like, a relationship. I do like that Nightcrawler. She's like, I'm just going to teleport. Bye.

Yeah, he's just like, I just can't be ours. Fuck him. Oh, one can move the blob. All right, well, bye. So, oh, wait, wait. Wait, but he just turns up. Magnetia was like, oh, hey, Nightcrawler. What's up, man?

So Magneto was going to destroy the earth, right? How did that work? well he's gonna he's gonna be the the the comus gonna hit the earth he could destroy the earth right then what like where does he get his food from sad bottom that sounds very dangerous for night crawler yeah how does that work you're gonna change the comments course saved the fucking art didn't i that's that's wolverine i just love that wolverine is just fucking around with toad somewhere in this Nightcrawler's like getting electrocuted up there.

He's just like smoking a cigar at the back, you know. He and Toto just getting high. Yeah. What's with the voice, dude? And he's like, well, what's with your voice? It makes no sense by Nightcrawlers doing that. Cotty, you need to leave. Go take the small dragon that you just met.

Kitty, come to my private chambers for a meeting. You fucking dope. Of course he is. He can teleport. Cling beams? What the fuck? We gotta get those gravely beams. He just gets impaled.

The more we say grably beams, the more it'll make sense. He's right here. Foreshadowing. Look at him hugging. Colosses over here. Big party. I like this small child. He's in the closet.

Not anymore. Why? Why couldn't Professor X have sensed him? The lockers are all made out of Magneto Summit. I don't... Do you agree, Dragon I've just met? I think he said that. Yeah.

Wow, how quickly is that sun moving? Daylight savings. That's how it works, right? Look, I know that this was like a pilot, and they had to put as much in as it could, but that was quite the mess. It came and went very quickly. There was a lot going on, and not a lot of it made any sense.

Mm-hmm. Uh, and the, the, the voice acting was a real choice. That was the strange. Like, I don't know if that's the best way to showcase your new band of X-Men or to introduce Kitty Pride. You know what you mean? Yeah, it was, well, I remember that logo. Oh, it's Spider-Man. Best film of video core.

Well, look at this fireworks. There really is the best film of video course. Hey, look, see how quickly in the middle one? Jesus. We're all going to die. All right. All right. So, pride of the X-Men. That was a lot.

There was so much exposition. That opening scene with Stan Lee just, like, narrating a mile a minute. Yeah. They really, by the way, there's these mutants. They're bad. Some of them they're bad. They're terrorists. So, you know, don't like them.

Your friends or your neighbors could be mutants too. But there's some good ones out there too. Yeah. For example, the fucking ghost man or strange devil-looking boy that is kind of creepy. The Russian turns into metal and speaks in the third person. Whatever the fuck, the ball rain is supposed to be. There's that one girl. She has a jacket.

She doesn't do much. She's there. Well, it looks like it's a job. Good thing, Badazer's here, and then she shoots, I don't know, I don't know what she did. She hit Pyro a couple of times. That was about it. Yeah, Pyro deflected it quite easily. He was just like, ow!

Ow! What are you doing? We're trying to take over the world. Like, he's so easy distracted. He's like, ah, come on, stop it. That, um, it seemed ambitious, but they just didn't have enough time. Yeah. Like he said, they made a toy.

line for that. Also, at the beginning, the animation was really fluid. And by the end of it, it was definitely spotty. Especially with that last frame of Wolverine, not saying anything but saying this. Yes, that was incredible. But there was some other parts where like, this just looks a little. And it's a shame because the first part, like that opening bit with Magneto stuff was really fluid, really nice looking.

So I guess I'm confused as to like We didn't really see Magneto do too many bad things But he did knowingly call himself a terrorist Wow Yes me and my mutant terrorists He got his friends to break him out of prison He stole an orb of some kind From what we are assume is a nice man

And then he used that orb He made a bigot slightly wet He used that orb Well first of all he brought that orb to his own private space station, which in itself is a pretty super villain thing. And then he used this magic orb to take control of a comet which he was going to use to smash into the Earth. So I would say, you know what? He did do some pretty

terrible things, you know? Yep. Well, the silence made me think that I was the only one that thought Magneto was a bad guy for trying to drive a comet into the Earth. I mean, John's over there wearing his Magneto's right shirt. I actually have, do you have one? I have a Magneto was the right shirt. Oh no, I wish I did. I actually got one because I yeah I I um, yeah I, I, there's a t-shirt place near me years ago that I got a PDF of Magneto was right and then you got like the you know in the comics they had like the little stancel of

Magneto yeah on the on the on the shirts in the grandmars and books. So I got that I got both them like on on the shirt and I got them to print it for me and then I used to wear it around time because I'm really cool. Yeah. And somebody actually did with like, what, why, what was Magnino Ryderbyte? And I'm like, well, because humans and mutants can't live in harmony. And he was like, huh, that's, that's probably right. That's probably the nerdiest thing I've ever said on this show or we'll ever say on the show. I'm going to look that shirt up again and see if I can find it.

I know there was a period of time they were making Cyclops is right. What? They were making Cyclops's right shirts after the Phoenix Force 5 thing. Oh, that's not as cool, I don't think. Uh. If you were a Cyclops''s right shirt, you're just a fucking nerd, you know? Yep. No one's going to come up and ask you what Cyclops is right about.

Yeah, like, who's Cyclops? People live in a world where people knew who Magneto was, but they didn't know Cyclops. Then you're like, who's Cyclops? He's the guy that had a lizard vision, but couldn't figure out a way to shoot losers out of his eyes to melt the fucking rober. that caught him in the Aztec ruins or whatever but they were they were strong enough to blast through his helmet without breaking his helmet yeah what why did that happen

why didn't why didn't Colossus beat it up with his metal they needed Cyclops to do something but he didn't do goddamn thing he didn't really do anything did he he did as much as douser did yeah he blew up a thing he and Emma Frost had some like she threw like a psychic lance at him and he just like dissolved it and then that that was that. Then Wolverine didn't do a whole lot either. No, no, he will.

He chased her own toad and then they got high. Yeah, like the back, nobody can see him. Yeah. It just, that's fine, you know? You know, I don't know why people don't want to hang out with Toad more often. I'm a cool guy. I'm a pretty okay guy. I like to think so, you know?

But his accent is to stick. We made us to actually take a couple of turns already. Oh, he's like Peter Lerick. It doesn't sound like Peter Lorry at all. I thought he sounded like Peter Lurie. Okay. John, what did you think? I can hear the influence.

Okay, but no, in the real to-or or the one we were doing? Oh, God, no, yours didn't, no. No. If you think that Dylan and I sounded like Peter Lurie, leave a comment under a Limpisket music video. Please leave that one. Please. I think Dylan sounded like Peter Lurie.

I need the break stuff video. I would love it. You know what, John was right? Neither of them sounded like Peter Lory. I'm like, what? What does that mean? Please. I implore you.

Guys, we don't ask for much. We don't even ask you to like and subscribe because you don't care. Please do that fucking lip biscuit thing. We broke Corey. Oh, man, that's too good. That's too good. See? It's a great bit, guys.

You have to do it. It's a great bit, honestly. It's a really good bit. It reminded me of, I was, like, I found some weird, like, 80s, like, hair metal. And I looked at the YouTube comments, and it were just, like, nothing but a bunch of older people go man these were the days these absolutely were the days and then I saw these like this older like man

and older woman flirting back and forth with each other in the YouTube comments it was fucking amazing so like maybe maybe if you post that John's right no they didn't sound anything like Peter Lorry maybe you will find love in the

YouTube comments maybe somebody else will go there to say that and you got there first and then you be like oh you guys you listen to the show as well? Me too. And then you can both hit it off and get married. You realize you both live in Poland. And then we could go to your wedding. Yeah. We'll all be wearing, I'll be wearing my Magneto was right shirt. And then what were the other shirts we came up with? Uh, there's one of a wedding ring and then cement. Yes. And then the,

the baby juggernaut family. There's a baby juggernaut family. You know what we should do? We should just, honest God, best idea ever. Flesh tone shirt, like a peach fleshstone shirt, but it's just Sugarman's face so that when you wear it, you're like cosplaying Sugarman. Yes, it looks like, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the best fucking idea. Yeah. Okay, anybody who can design T-shirts.

Yeah, get on that. Don't touch. Otherwise, I'll have to draw myself. We'll open up a T-public store or something. Yeah. Put some of those fucking grim pictures I've drawn on the thumbnails as... Yeah, get our thumbnail pictures. I do we got a nice little selection to choose from.

Yeah, look, we'll put that one of Armist Tiger Man doing the signing at the Comic-Con. Yeah. I like the one of Cyclops incinerating us. That's a really good one. That one turned out really well. I was super pleased. It really did. Yeah.

I like the, the Jackal one because it was a buddy. Ben Riley is not on the fucking. Yeah. StarGivanger's talking about Ben Riley. Not pictured. All right. Well, obviously, we had a ton to say about Episode 3, Japanese Spider-Man and Pride of the X-Men. Wait, wait, wait, let's get serious here, guys.

We had a lot of fun on the show, but let's get serious. What did you like better? Episode 3 of Japanese Spider-Man or Prior to the X-Man, episode 1. Oh, were you asking us, or was that to the audience? Well, both, I guess both. You can answer and then the audience will answer in the comments. A couple of years, about a year or so ago, I found like the first couple episodes of the GI Joe cartoon. And I watched it and it was like, wow, this is nonsensical because it's nothing but nonstop exposition and it's moving off like a thousand miles per minute.

And this actually isn't very good. So that's pride of the X-Men. There was a ton of exposition. A lot of stuff happened very, very quickly. and none of it had any sort of impact for me. Meanwhile, Japanese Spider-Man had a cowboy fighting a mushroom, a giant mushroom man who kept pulling out more oddly shaped mushrooms out of his orifices. And I think that one wins.

Okay. What do you think, John? I mean, I think this is slightly tarnished the memory of Pride of the X-Men for me. watching it through fresh eyes. It's like, oh, hang on. Maybe this wasn't so good back in the day. You realize how stupid you were as a kid sometimes when you watch to go back and watch this stuff.

You're like, man, I was fucking dumb. What part of it was it good? I mean, try everything. All of it, yeah. I don't know. It didn't really. But on the flip side, like jabs, Spider-Man in its own way

wasn't good, but at the same time was amazing. Yeah. Do what you mean? It moved it like a million miles an hour as well. Oh yeah. Just like Wham-Bam, thank you ma'am. Yeah, yeah. Like they didn't waste time explaining shit. They're like, you figure it out. Yeah. And here's a big robot

and a mushroom man who would deal with it. I'm like, oh, I guess I'll have to deal with it. You know? A lot of people died. A lot of people died. A lot of people died. Yeah. That was the episode of Spider-Meet. a body count. Yeah, they just

like straight into it. Whereas, you know, that's the kind of stuff they should have done in X-Men to really show off Magneto's like, maybe he is such a badass, like,

have them kill a bunch of guys. That fucking robot and Spider-Man killed a bunch of guys and they're the good guys. You know what I mean? So you got to up your game if you're going to compete

with Japanese Spider-Respite. Do you what we should do? If we ever get more episodes of Japanese Spider-Man, like, do this again, where it's like Japanese Spider-Man versus a different

cartoon. Yes. I think it's a great idea. And then it's like, nope, Jabbyy Spider-Man wins again because it's fucking badass. You know, he's playing a flute now for no reason. Who cares? Like, this is awesome.

Whereas some other cartoons, like, ah, it's not like... Yeah, I mean, there's a lot of... I mean, there's a lot of cartoons. I mean, there's the Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, Silver Surfer. Oh, we should totally watch... There's, like, been like, two or three Avengers

cartoons. There's been Fantastic Four. Yeah, it's like two Fantastic Four shows. Yeah. We've got options. Yeah, I think that's a good idea. What do you guys say? Let us know in the comments if you like that idea.

And also whether you liked Japanese Spider-Man more or prior to the X-Bim more. Or if you thought it like Giro Lori. But yes, also say that one as well. And then what else do people have to say? You have to leave all these comments. If you're one person listening to this, you have to leave like three or four separate comments. Yeah, both those numbers. Yes.

At some point, we'll sell out and get advertisers, and you can hear us talk about, like, bonobos and stuff. Can you imagine somebody paying to sponsor this shit? You know what, Dylan? That's a great episode of Japanese Spider-Man. If I were to keel over and die right now, I'll be totally fine on my Casper mattress. I don't know about you guys,

but sometimes whenever I'm fighting crime, dress as Spider-Man, it's hard to find the time to make meals. That's why I like Hello Fresh, because it sends me straight to my door. You know, one of these days when you're just dealing with Magneto and the juggernaut breaking into your house and assaulting you, it's important to remember that, hey, it could be worse, I could be waiting in the line at the post office.

Stamps.com. Listen, guys, I know fighting crime with Spider-Man is pretty tough, but it's good to have a little bit of dying time, too, to relax. And that's why I like play weird shadow legends. And now, if you download the game right now and use code Sugarman, 69. You can get a free... I don't know what they do in Ria Chattel Legends.

I've never played it, but you can play it. Thank you for sponsoring this, Ria Chatter Legends. Joe, do you got any? Yeah, you got an ad resource? No, I fucking hate everything. We've just given a bunch of free advertising to people who will not never sponsor us. I mean, come on.

I don't even ask it for much. Like, fucking $5 or something, dog. Yeah, like buys a beer. Yeah. Yeah, that'll be nice. All right, this is going on too long. I just want everybody to know that we love and appreciate you for sticking through all that mess. And we'll be back with more fun topics and more updates on how many movies John's watched.

And maybe I'll give you an update on how the 90s fate comic is going. So I've been Corey, and we've been The Smart Avengers, and we're going to let you go and enjoy. Bye. Bye. Bye.
