And I'll tell you why. Why? Because everybody's in for a bloody treat. Absolutely. Because it's an ad time. But not only is it an ad time, it's a good time. It's two things.

Starting point is 00:01:00 An ad time's always a good time. That's actually a really good point. We've got the best ads in the business. They're like, keep doing those ads. Don't do your regular show. Stop doing your regular show. Quite frankly, we're sick of it. You don't know what you're talking about. With the ads, at least you're reading a piece of copy.

Starting point is 00:01:12 You know? It's consistent. And we can mostly read. Anyway, sorry. We're actually bringing a list of something really special this week. It's pretty huge, Mason. Yes. Because have you heard of Wolverine The Lost Trail?

Starting point is 00:02:06 Now it's your time to tell me what the story was. That's right. Logan returns to New Orleans in search of redemption, only to discover that dozens of humans and mutants have gone missing, including his old flame, a flame. No, Maureen. Maureen. That's right, yeah.

Starting point is 00:02:19 And to find her, Logan must follow a trail of clues through the gothic heart of the Bayou, where biker gangs, Cajun thieves, and the world of dark wonders await him. Norlands, that's right. Action adventure guaranteed. The script is actually written by award-winning comic book author Benjamin Percy. Hello, all right.

Starting point is 00:02:40 And Brendan Baker, the director and sound designer of season one, is back to wow you again. And I say that because this whole podcast was recorded with an ambisonic microphone that captures 360 degrees of audio and totally constructs an immersive world of sound around you. Um, ex-squeeze me? I will not. Okay.

Starting point is 00:02:59 So if Wolverine is fighting someone, say, on the floor or whatever, you'll hear the sound beneath you as if you're standing right where they want you to be positioned. Just right on top of him. Exactly. They're spinning around like a bouncy ball and you're like a bear at the circus. Just on top of it, you know. Guys, stop this. Also, there's the returning Wolverine voice actor.

Starting point is 00:03:20 Richard Armitage. Exactly. Who people will know from... Wolverine the Long Night. Exactly. But also the Hobbit. He's not the hands Armitage. Exactly. Who people would know from? Wolverine, The Long Night. Exactly. But also The Hobbit. He's not the handsomest dwarf. No, but he's probably the second most handsome dwarf.

Starting point is 00:03:30 Second handsomest dwarf, yeah. And of course, he's the Red Dragon in Hannibal. Yeah, right. And there's a bunch of new additions this season, including Blair Brown from Orange is the New Black, Bill Heck from The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, as Gambit. Oh.

Starting point is 00:03:44 Can you believe that? I can believe it. I was going to say, because this one's set in New Orleans, and I'm like, you can't. You want a guarantee. Bill Heck from The Ballad of Buster Scruggs as Gambit. Can you believe that? I can believe it. I was going to say, because this one's set in New Orleans, and I'm like, you can't. You want a guarantee. You want a guarantee that Marvel's best Cajun muted is in this series. Look, he's not getting a movie anytime soon,

Starting point is 00:03:58 but he's in this, isn't he? Guaranteed. Imagine that ambisonic playing card exploding all around you. You'd be like, ah! Cool! I'm on a train! But I'm okay! But I'm okay!
