GoldenSiracha: You don't even know what Bloodborne is. Yeah.

DUNCANTHETHOT: i have erased it from all thoughts that I have. It doesn't exist anymore.

HANGINHAWGS: Steve.

DUNCANTHETHOT: I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know why we're still talking about it.

HANGINHAWGS: Steve, we got to start off fast here. I gotta i got a $50 gift card to the Nintendo eShop for my birthday.

Steve-O: e

GoldenSiracha: Oh, that's two Pokemon games at least.

HANGINHAWGS: What?

Steve-O: There's two Pokemon games. You're right.

HANGINHAWGS: Can I buy Amiibos with this on the eShop?

Steve-O: yeah ah You could buy them using the Nintendo store, maybe?

HANGINHAWGS: i was gonna buy I was going to buy ugly Leon Kennedy Amiibo with it, but I don't know. i think I just have to buy a Nintendo Switch game.

GoldenSiracha: Oh, God, man.

HANGINHAWGS: Which reminds me, Devin, there is a game coming out for Nintendo Switch this weekend.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

DUNCANTHETHOT: duskborn duskblood

Steve-O: he's there.

HANGINHAWGS: Yeah. No.

GoldenSiracha: Oh, wait.

HANGINHAWGS: it's a little It's a little game called Resident Evil Requiem. I can get it basically half off right now.

GoldenSiracha: Oh, man. That's right. i forgot we're gonna I forgot you were going to spit in my face.

Steve-O: Whoa.

DUNCANTHETHOT: are you really doing that are you pulling the trigger on that bad boy

Steve-O: Are you telling me you're going to buy it on Switch?

HANGINHAWGS: Steve, a part of me wants to do it because it would drive Devin into insane if I played Resident Evil Requiem on Nintendo Switch 2.

GoldenSiracha: John, you're a hunt it would 100% drive me insane.

DUNCANTHETHOT: I'm going to play it on my Steam deck. So I don't know.

Steve-O: Oh.

HANGINHAWGS: That's...

Steve-O: now Now, hold on, hold on. I'm going to be John's lawyer, and I'm going to justify why this is the only true way to play Resident Evil 9, right? Okay, let's go back to Resident Evil 4.

GoldenSiracha: Oh, no.

Steve-O: What was that an exclusive for? Nintendo.

HANGINHAWGS: I can feel how tight Devin is right now through through the microphone. I can feel how tight he is.

GoldenSiracha: you don't know know the the very first technical hiccup you get in Switch 2 though like you pretend they wouldn't exist

HANGINHAWGS: ah wouldn't even I wouldn't even acknowledge it. I'll just say it's it was an artful... what What was I saying about other other games? the Artful exclusion from the decision.

GoldenSiracha: yeah no because like like I can play it i could play on the go

Steve-O: exclusion.

HANGINHAWGS: yeah Artful exclusion decision for the game.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Smart move not to get in there.

HANGINHAWGS: Oh yeah, that that's what I was saying for every every single fucking issue I had with Expedition 33 on a gaming PC. Playing it on a gaming PC, I called it an artful exclusion from the game.

GoldenSiracha: yeah you were like oh i but yeah listen i get it you could play this scary survival horror game at 2 p.m on your lunch break in the park i get it why wouldn't you want to live in that scenario

HANGINHAWGS: But then again, this is a true AAA triplea game.

Steve-O: Dude, it runs...

HANGINHAWGS: Listen.

Steve-O: it I guarantee you, John, it runs better than Borderlands 4 on a Steam Deck.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Steve, I would like to interject about that.

HANGINHAWGS: no.

Steve-O: Oh, sorry!

DUNCANTHETHOT: from the From the top turnbuckle, I'm coming down with an elbow smash and telling you that I am playing currently Borderlands 4 on my Steam Deck, and it runs at a whopping 30 frames per second, baby!

HANGINHAWGS: yeah

Steve-O: Whoa!

Steve-O: You know what?

HANGINHAWGS: Oh, that's not bad.

Steve-O: Honestly, that's not bad at all.

HANGINHAWGS: That's playable. That's playable.

Steve-O: i'm That's playable.

GoldenSiracha: That's way better than four.

DUNCANTHETHOT: I was able to watch the cutscene in the beginning of the game. Thank you very much.

Steve-O: And it works, right?

HANGINHAWGS: No, I was going to interject you, Chris, and tell you that at this moment right now, in the year of our Lord, 2026, February

Steve-O: It works.

DUNCANTHETHOT: It would.

HANGINHAWGS: february twenty second You could probably sell your Steam Deck OLED and buy a decent game. Oh, maybe not. I don't know. Because they're, did you see? They're all out of Steam Decks.

Steve-O: They're gone. They're sold out.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Well, they're going to be intermittently selling them throughout the year.

HANGINHAWGS: They're gone.

DUNCANTHETHOT: So they're going to have periods of time.

HANGINHAWGS: And they're going to be, no, no, no. And they're going to be sold out. They're going to be sold out every single time they go on sale. I'm telling you.

Steve-O: Dude, the RAM shortages are really affecting things.

HANGINHAWGS: So there you could you could double you could double your fucking roulette money by selling your Steam Deck right now. I'm not going to do it. But I'm just saying.

DUNCANTHETHOT: i love my Steam Deck.

HANGINHAWGS: It's there. I know.

DUNCANTHETHOT: I love it so much.

HANGINHAWGS: I know, dude.

DUNCANTHETHOT: I'm going to be playing Resident Evil on that shit right now when it comes out.

HANGINHAWGS: And yeah, yeah the ah the other thing I was going to get you with too is that Resident Evil 4 Remake plays fine on Steam Deck. So I'm assuming Resident Evil Requiem will be playable.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Sure does.

GoldenSiracha: yeah

DUNCANTHETHOT: Take that, Devin.

HANGINHAWGS: And that's that's probably, and you know what Devin? This isn't going to trigger you as much, but that's probably why I'm leaning towards getting it for PC so that I could play it on Steam Deck if I wanted to.

Steve-O: i would I would like this stricken from the record.

GoldenSiracha: I mean, I just, i know, i know not all, not all Capcom games run super well at launch on PC though.

GoldenSiracha: What fire red and leaf green, right?

GoldenSiracha: Well.

HANGINHAWGS: I mean, I guess the the the the non-corpo Nintendo way to do it is just to release those on Nintendo Switch Online, right? Just because they're already Game Boy games.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, yeah we were able to find that equilibrium pretty easily, I think.

HANGINHAWGS: You just gotta to combine them.

DUNCANTHETHOT: So...

DUNCANTHETHOT: I guess that's more of a generational thing. Like, we we were able to to consolidate time for porn and...

GoldenSiracha: Yeah. Oh, also online sports betting is pretty big.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Oh, yeah, dude.

HANGINHAWGS: Oh yeah, that's a big thing too, yeah.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Every kid I know is betting on everything.

GoldenSiracha: That's a big one.

Steve-O: a

HANGINHAWGS: It's just talking about their parlay legs.

Steve-O: Hey, at this point, it's not even just sports betting. They're just betting on things now.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

HANGINHAWGS: And then they you know they talked about a lot of external development resources too that are being used.

GoldenSiracha: Oh my God.

HANGINHAWGS: Which was an interesting one because that's where Silksong was dropped because it said that there's three people on the credits for the game, but then there's like 97 people

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

DUNCANTHETHOT: So is it like the advent advent of like forever pay-to-play games that have caused gaming to go down

HANGINHAWGS: external credits.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

HANGINHAWGS: I think maybe that might be the thing. is like the the The games as a service kind of is kind of like the bubble that burst, and it burst gaming in general, I think, is is is what the takeaway is.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah. And it's just like, you know, the a new, a new generation ah are into different things.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Because most people I know who game...

GoldenSiracha: Like, yeah.

DUNCANTHETHOT: that that's That's true too, but most people I know do game our our game are playing like Fortnite and like that's like that's the game.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah. No, I've always said this, but like every I hate it when younger people ask me what games I'm into because I sound like a fucking... I sound like I don't like games.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Yeah.

GoldenSiracha: Like, oh, you play Fortnite? I'm like, no, not really. Oh, what about like Roblox? Like, no, not really. What about this, that?

HANGINHAWGS: No, I'm not fucking six years old, you fucking asshole.

GoldenSiracha: And I'm like, yeah, but I'm like, um oh, what about Minecraft?

Steve-O: exactly

DUNCANTHETHOT: Yeah, what the hell?

HANGINHAWGS: Why would you ask me that?

GoldenSiracha: And I'm like, no, not really.

HANGINHAWGS: You play with Barbies? You play with Hot Wheels?

GoldenSiracha: yeah

HANGINHAWGS: That's what you should say to those guys.

DUNCANTHETHOT: It's not like I'm even, I don't hate Fortnite.

GoldenSiracha: But...

DUNCANTHETHOT: I'm not one of those people. Like I get why it's popular. I understand why people play it. It's just, I would never do it. Like it's a preferential shirt.

HANGINHAWGS: But it was it's kind of a lightning in a bottle thing, though, right?

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

HANGINHAWGS: Because, Steve, that game was supposed to have... Like a single player in shit and shit?

Steve-O: fort fortnight originally released as a as a defender is like a base defender game against like computer enemies

HANGINHAWGS: Yeah, were supposed to be a PvE. and And then they the the PvP thing just kind of took off.

GoldenSiracha: yeah

HANGINHAWGS: Well, I guess we ah we could just blame PUBG.

Steve-O: Yeah, it it was doing pretty bad. it was Well, that's the thing.

HANGINHAWGS: Blame PUBG for everything.

Steve-O: Fortnite just put out um like a modded version of itself.

HANGINHAWGS: Or DayZ. DayZ.

Steve-O: like One of the developers over a weekend was just like, I just turned our game into this since it's not doing great. So I just made this.

GoldenSiracha: well that yeah they were like hey PUBG is real popular let's let's just rip off PUBG yeah

Steve-O: They pushed it to live.

Steve-O: It was the free version and it was on consoles.

HANGINHAWGS: Oh, and it also, you know what what else?

Steve-O: Yeah.

HANGINHAWGS: It also didn't have Jeff Keighley hailing it as as the second coming of Jesus Christ at the Game Awards.

Steve-O: ah

GoldenSiracha: yeah ah with yeah and then you find out Jeff Keighley is sort of in bed with it on some level because of Ben sent yeah

DUNCANTHETHOT: Well, everybody here played high guard and loved it.

HANGINHAWGS: Yeah, that's kind of weird, right? It's kind of weird, Devin.

DUNCANTHETHOT: yeah Everybody here played high guard and loved it, right?

GoldenSiracha: Yeah. I downloaded it and then never turned it on. And I was like, why did I do this? Like, just deleted it I was like, I'm not going to play this fucking game.

Steve-O: Well, Devin, because of you, a lot of people lost their jobs this week.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah. Well.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Hey, Devin, you're are you still in negative points in your...

HANGINHAWGS: Well, did you see did you see all this did you see all the...

GoldenSiracha: We don't have to talk about that, Chris.

HANGINHAWGS: ah Did you Did you...

DUNCANTHETHOT: I'm genuinely curious. That was not any type of jibe or in insult. i

GoldenSiracha: Sorry, yeah, i am I am sitting...

DUNCANTHETHOT: I've never seen that before.

GoldenSiracha: So I've only had two games, but I'm sitting at negative three.

DUNCANTHETHOT: as an outside observer, wow.

GoldenSiracha: High guard really really took me to the cleaners. And there's no one...

HANGINHAWGS: Yeah, did you see the High Guard stuff? Like the Fallout? Like the... The the the the lead developer or the...

DUNCANTHETHOT: You really are the Kansas City Chiefs.

HANGINHAWGS: director or something, like fucking blamed Toxic Gaming and then deleted his fucking account and shit.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, I mean, like, he's he kind he connie he kind of wasn't wrong.

Steve-O: Crash out.

HANGINHAWGS: Yeah, crashed out. But it wasn't as epic as when Larian Studios CEO fucking crashed out when he was like, you fucking kidding me

GoldenSiracha: Yeah. Holy fuck, guys. Jesus, guys.

HANGINHAWGS: You fucking assholes!

GoldenSiracha: yeah

HANGINHAWGS: Jesus fucking Christ! Like, that's how you crash out and get respect.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah. But also, i also i also think that's a justified crash out. too Like, I've been agreeing with these crash outs.

HANGINHAWGS: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, yeah, because you're AI Kopech now, so you you feel it.

GoldenSiracha: I'm team AI, yeah. Obviously. Obviously, guys. Come on. Come on, guys.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Well, speaking of which,

HANGINHAWGS: It's art. It's obviously art, guys.

DUNCANTHETHOT: theory

GoldenSiracha: Hollywood is...

DUNCANTHETHOT: there was this

GoldenSiracha: ah x X thing here is cooked.

DUNCANTHETHOT: and's ah that's a perfect segue to a certain gentleman being ah being killed in Xbox.

GoldenSiracha: Look at this thing I created.

HANGINHAWGS: but

HANGINHAWGS: What? Oh, my god i was like God.

Steve-O: Oh!

GoldenSiracha: Oh, yeah, okay.

DUNCANTHETHOT: The CEO, Phil Spencer, he's done.

Steve-O: oh

HANGINHAWGS: I was like, who got killed?

GoldenSiracha: Oh, my God. Yeah, phil so Phil Spencer announced he was...

DUNCANTHETHOT: That's

HANGINHAWGS: Yeah, rest in peace, I guess. Jeez.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, oh john John, on your birthday.

DUNCANTHETHOT: what heard, at least.

GoldenSiracha: He's like, I heard it's your birthday. So I'm done.

HANGINHAWGS: Oh, yeah.

GoldenSiracha: I'm retiring.

DUNCANTHETHOT: And now who the person who replaced him is, ah she was the lead developer of some sort of ai department.

HANGINHAWGS: Is an AI...

GoldenSiracha: She came from...

GoldenSiracha: She wasn't like developed, like her job basically is to, from what I was doing a little bit of a little bit of digging, her job is basically take something that works and expand it, like get it to the masses.

HANGINHAWGS: Push AI.

GoldenSiracha: Like that's kind of what her like history has shown.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Okay. But then then she said that, didn't she say that the the gaming industry won't be taken over by ai slop?

GoldenSiracha: AI slop, yeah, which is, listen, she probably used AI to write that address, like that in an opening address.

HANGINHAWGS: Yeah, and you can't, can you say that as an AI advocate?

GoldenSiracha: um So,

DUNCANTHETHOT: Steve, as an expert in slop, what do you think about AI slop?

Steve-O: Oh, hold on. I need to use a bunch of, like, outlines and... m m What are they called?

GoldenSiracha: yeah, can you, and dash prompt.

Steve-O: Em dashes or...

DUNCANTHETHOT: and Thanks, bro.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, ah yeah, he is he is, so the thing that's interesting, is not that he retired because I'll be honest, I had said, I had said this was his last year.

HANGINHAWGS: Yeah, he was on his way out.

GoldenSiracha: i was like, I don't think he's going to make it past this year.

HANGINHAWGS: Yeah, he was on his way out.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Of course. Of course.

GoldenSiracha: um But so he's being replaced by not Satya, Nadella, what is Asha?

HANGINHAWGS: Asha something.

DUNCANTHETHOT: What do you got, Devin?

GoldenSiracha: Asha Sharma, I think is her name.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Okay.

GoldenSiracha: And yeah, but it's interesting because it's not like he was like, hey, I'm i'm done at the end of the year. He's in the news broke on Friday. He's done on Monday. Right.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Woof. Thanks.

GoldenSiracha: um he He is apparently staying on in an advisory role until the summer. But there's also juicy, little juicy rumors that this.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Just like Kevin Petulo and then he left.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, so there's there's also a rumor that this wasn't his idea. He was basically pushed. He was basically pushed out. um

HANGINHAWGS: was forced He was forced to resign.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah. Also of note is...

DUNCANTHETHOT: Pushed out of a window by Christopher Walken, just like Batman Returns.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

Steve-O: Ah!

GoldenSiracha: Also of note, Sarah Bond, who was the Xbox president, ah she resigned um right after, like in the within the same day.

HANGINHAWGS: Yeah, the president. She left too.

HANGINHAWGS: That's pretty That

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, and and everyone was like, oh, obviously she would just be the next up.

HANGINHAWGS: that

GoldenSiracha: And in my mind, like the suits just basically saw her as a female... Phil Spencer, and they're like, you're not going to get it. So, yeah, we are we just got to get a fresh start.

HANGINHAWGS: We need to change the culture around here, so

GoldenSiracha: and And you're not it. And at that point, like, what do you do? Like, you really have no other decision other than leave at that point. You know, take your golden parachute, leave.

GoldenSiracha: Not even golden parachute. Just like, just leave and then, you know, be a CEO at somewhere else. um Or a president or or whatever it is.

DUNCANTHETHOT: You don't think he's getting a nice, sweet little

GoldenSiracha: No, no. he I mean, he says he's retiring, so I don't know if that works.

HANGINHAWGS: No, he and pretty probably has a lot of equity in the company or some shit, too, because they have all that stuff.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, I mean, he...

DUNCANTHETHOT: Mm-hmm.

HANGINHAWGS: So he's he's not it's not like he's going to living in the streets or anything, you know?

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, and then it kind of made me think of, like, Phil Spencer in general, like, his whole tenure. And i was I was thinking about it, and it's just not a lot of good...

GoldenSiracha: things

DUNCANTHETHOT: How would you rate it out of a marry fuck kill rating? dev

GoldenSiracha: Man, I think it's closer to kill than it is a fuck. Like, okay, so he takes over from Don Matrick in, during the Xbox, you like that Xbox.

DUNCANTHETHOT: What are the cooler names of anybody?

GoldenSiracha: Yeah,

HANGINHAWGS: You're saying dot Don Matrick was the was was fuck days? Like that was... We were okay? We were all right it was bad That's how bad it is now?

DUNCANTHETHOT: He's not good.

GoldenSiracha: yeah like, like, like you I mean, let's be honest, guys. He he he basically coasted on being more likable than Don Matrick, which isn't hard. It's just like...

HANGINHAWGS: He jumped right over to...

GoldenSiracha: ah Yeah, yeah.

HANGINHAWGS: to What was it? Zynga. He jumped right over to Zynga.

Steve-O: Yeah.

GoldenSiracha: he He's more likable than that guy.

Steve-O: Which.

DUNCANTHETHOT: im of saying

GoldenSiracha: He does right the ship. He drops Kinect. He makes like... I don't want to say like obvious decisions, but like he makes like the, the, he does the things you clearly need to do.

GoldenSiracha: Where he's like, oh you should drop. Like I could have fucking told you that, you know, like anybody could have told you that. So it's not like he was some fucking genius. Right. And his,

DUNCANTHETHOT: Sounds like you're describing a janitor.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, but he kind of he rides it out, right? ah There's the Xbox One X, the the whole I don't know if that came out before the PS4 Pro. I think it did, but or whatever right that gets announced. And that's kind of a novel idea, right? The whole like half iteration console.

GoldenSiracha: And then he's the face of Game Pass. Game Pass is essentially his baby. And at the end of the day,

DUNCANTHETHOT: That went well for a bit. That went well for a bit.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, but but yes, but at but still it's a money sink for Microsoft, right? It's a loss leader like Microsoft was always losing money on this. And then it there's not a lot of data that supports that it's good overall.

GoldenSiracha: There's a lot of data that shows that it does damage to game sales at the end of the day. Nothing's like 100% locked in at this point, right? you know I don't think we'll ever get to that point where it's clear one way or the other. But there's a lot of people saying like, yeah, I don't think this i think this is like a net negative.

GoldenSiracha: They buy Bethesda and then layoffs and then, which is whatever, right? that's I don't want to say it's whatever, but that's expected. They buy Activision, layoff thousands of people.

GoldenSiracha: Game Pass gets more expensive. The numbers don't move. They're stagnant. And he's so like his reputation in my brain is like a likable guy that basically just costs Microsoft a lot of money.

GoldenSiracha: Like, he's kind of like... He means well. i don't think he's the... He was never, like, the guy that made the worst terrible decisions. Like, I don't think he was the dude that was like, we should charge more for Game Pass, right?

GoldenSiracha: But, like...

HANGINHAWGS: last Dude, the last the last living image of him should just be his face when Astro Bot won Game of the Year.

GoldenSiracha: yeah

Steve-O: Thank you.

HANGINHAWGS: Because that shit fucking makes me laugh.

DUNCANTHETHOT: I'm getting fired.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, but I mean, like like, he's kind of like a coach of a team that's competent, but he's never going to get you to the championship, right?

DUNCANTHETHOT: I'm getting fired.

HANGINHAWGS: That shit makes me...

GoldenSiracha: He's just not the guy.

DUNCANTHETHOT: He's the Mike mike Tomlin or Larry Brown.

HANGINHAWGS: He's Larry Brown.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, exactly.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Yeah, that's a good one.

GoldenSiracha: Sure. yeah

HANGINHAWGS: He's Larry Brown, dude.

GoldenSiracha: He's, you know, you'll you'll probably have a good season, but you're not going to get, you might make it a little bit into the playoffs, but you're not going to get deep.

HANGINHAWGS: Great guy.

GoldenSiracha: And that's pretty much the ceiling.

HANGINHAWGS: And it's ah it's on him, yeah. It's not really anybody else, but...

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, and it's... You know, so it's it's tough because he's genuinely he is genuinely like a gamer.

GoldenSiracha: Like he's like, I do like video games. You could tell he doesn't come off as a slimy shithead.

HANGINHAWGS: Yeah, so maybe... so maybe Microsoft was like, well, maybe we shouldn't have a gamer.

GoldenSiracha: But.

HANGINHAWGS: Maybe we should have the AI lady be...

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, we should have a fucking.

DUNCANTHETHOT: They went the opposite direction completely, I guess.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, we should have a. hmm.

Steve-O: Well,

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

DUNCANTHETHOT: That's like an investor thing. don't work.

Steve-O: that's the thing. they I mean, Don Matrick was the TV guy. That didn't work.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

DUNCANTHETHOT: tv don't work

Steve-O: And now Microsoft's real hard on having AI and everything. So this is, I guess, their way to do that. And, you know, I don't think it's going to work either, but.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah. But no, her top tier games because people because it's it's Twitter and and people are just the worst. But they're like, well, what games does she like? She's like a Halo Valheim and like something else. And they're like, not good enough.

GoldenSiracha: She fucking sucks. And it's like, OK,

HANGINHAWGS: No, but she said dude she said she was bringing back the blades to the to the Xbox UI, and I thought that was actually pretty pretty cute.

Steve-O: That's cute.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, that's cute because the blades fucking ruled.

Steve-O: That's a good pull from Phil didn't do it.

HANGINHAWGS: You know?

HANGINHAWGS: Like the menu blades from the...

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, dude, I love those things.

HANGINHAWGS: Yeah.

Steve-O: Phil just went on podcasts and talked about wanting to kill himself a lot.

HANGINHAWGS: I thought that was a cute thing.

GoldenSiracha: I should just be dead. I should just be dead. um Yeah. So, man.

Steve-O: I ask you question, Devin? If you, if Phil Spencer took that job and wasn't like, that's the thing. Phil Spencer was a cool dude. I'm sure he's super friendly and nice,

GoldenSiracha: Cool, dude.

Steve-O: If Phil Spencer was fucking cutthroat, do you think we would be in a different position right now?

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, I think... I legitimately think he wanted to be the good guy. Seen as like the good guy. And maybe he even did.

HANGINHAWGS: Right.

GoldenSiracha: Because the narrative was always like...

DUNCANTHETHOT: you

GoldenSiracha: listen, like Microsoft may have laid off like 20,000 people, but like maybe it would have been 30,000 if it wasn't for him pushing back or delaying things.

HANGINHAWGS: But he, yeah, and that, that's the other thing is like,

GoldenSiracha: And I don't know how true any of that is, but like that was the the narrative that he was kind of like the guy trying to change or fight for the little guy from the inside.

HANGINHAWGS: No, but also, like, it's not like he wasn't trying to do the right thing. Like, I'm sure if Nintendo was for sale, he would ah he would have bought them, right?

DUNCANTHETHOT: God.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Glory, Chris.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

HANGINHAWGS: But he bought, he what? He purchased Bethesda. He purchased, the like, what what other what other big fucking Activision?

Steve-O: Bethesda Activision.

GoldenSiracha: Activision. ah

HANGINHAWGS: Like, he really...

GoldenSiracha: Yeah. ah There was another one.

HANGINHAWGS: but it's like the situations, like, the ideas were there, but, like, it just wasn't, like, you know...

GoldenSiracha: There was another one. Yeah.

GoldenSiracha: Well, and I mean...

HANGINHAWGS: ah did It didn't fall and into the... to what it didn't His vision wasn't you know wasn't produced, I guess.

Steve-O: Once they bought Activision and having Call of Duty, which is like, come on, that's like one of the Infinity Stones in gaming.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

HANGINHAWGS: Because...

HANGINHAWGS: Yeah, you win.

Steve-O: He went, make sure this is still on every console because it makes too much money.

HANGINHAWGS: Yeah, you win, right?

GoldenSiracha: Yeah. Yeah. how How did you get that? And then the reality is everything got way worse after that.

HANGINHAWGS: Yeah.

GoldenSiracha: Like that's.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, that's a wild fucking thing. and And it's.

HANGINHAWGS: Is that really on him?

Steve-O: I don't think it's on him, but I think old school gamers would have like just been like, you're going to have to fucking buy an Xbox if you want to play COD.

GoldenSiracha: Well, I do think.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

HANGINHAWGS: Yeah, but also, yeah, that's not the right, that's also not the correct strategy.

GoldenSiracha: Well, and...

HANGINHAWGS: Like, you shouldn't just try to buy them, you know?

GoldenSiracha: Yeah. I mean, the thing is, is like, you you say cutthroat, but in my brain, cutthroat is like, no, they should have just fucking bought exclusives and instead of companies just bought exclusives and said no.

Steve-O: No.

Steve-O: Bought exclusive. I mean, that's what they did for the 360, right?

GoldenSiracha: Just been... Yeah, and and that's what Sony did a lot in the PS4 era and even now in the PS5 until they basically didn't even need to at this point.

Steve-O: Dude, I was thinking about PlayStation 4 Sony was...

HANGINHAWGS: Yeah,

GoldenSiracha: Oh, go to God.

Steve-O: Dude, they were stunting on Xbox back then.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, I know it was the bay it was probably

GoldenSiracha: the most confident Sony had ever been, you know, and like, yeah.

Steve-O: But they didn't need to do that, but they just did. They like, I'm still thinking back to you remember that was like E3 or something where it was like they announced um Final Fantasy 7 remake.

Steve-O: ah What else was in that one? There was so many like huge announcements.

GoldenSiracha: Oh, shit.

Steve-O: Like was that God of War?

GoldenSiracha: it was It was like the E3 of dreams or whatever.

Steve-O: Yeah.

GoldenSiracha: ah God. Yeah. Oh, Shenmue 3, I think, was announced at that one, too.

DUNCANTHETHOT: The E3 of dreams.

HANGINHAWGS: Yeah, he's back, baby.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah. Chris is back.

Steve-O: he's back baby so uh just a heads up everybody for the first hour of this podcast chris was actually an ai that we programmed sorry gotcha but now chris is oh chris spot is offline again

GoldenSiracha: Chris's power is back. Sorry.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Uh-oh. Oh, fuck.

DUNCANTHETHOT: What?

GoldenSiracha: Sorry. We got you.

HANGINHAWGS: And he said, bring the blades back, baby.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah. Oh, uh, last guardian was.

GoldenSiracha: God damn it.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Honestly, I don't know.

GoldenSiracha: no

HANGINHAWGS: ah he's here. He's here.

GoldenSiracha: Okay.

DUNCANTHETHOT: what's happening, it did kick me out again, but

GoldenSiracha: Okay. Well, you're.

Steve-O: That's okay. I think you're in now, Chris Bot.

HANGINHAWGS: try Just keep coming. Yeah, or just if it kicks you out, just come back in.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

HANGINHAWGS: Your line is there.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

HANGINHAWGS: It'll keep syncing you up, I think.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, also, i think The Last Guardian was like the often delayed Last Guardian.

Steve-O: Right.

GoldenSiracha: and They were like, it's finally, it's here, it's real, and here's the release date. Like, you know, that was 2015. Yeah. Yeah, he was...

HANGINHAWGS: Yeah, I mean, Phil Spencer went out and got fucking Kojima to make a fucking game for Xbox, which isn't out yet.

GoldenSiracha: yeah

HANGINHAWGS: But like, you know, trying.

Steve-O: It's not out yet.

HANGINHAWGS: He's trying. he was he was trying to He was trying to brute force his way into into you know success, which might not be the right way to do it.

GoldenSiracha: yeah yeah he was

GoldenSiracha: Yeah. And it's it is it's just... And at the end of of the day, like I know people are like, oh my god, like what a

HANGINHAWGS: The right way to do it is just to be Capcom. Like, if you can, just be Capcom and have...

GoldenSiracha: Yeah. Kind of. Well, you know what, John? That leads me to another kind of bad thing that happened. But Capcom, to me, was like there's a connection there is that Sony closed um beloved and successful remake studio Bluepoint um kind of out of the blue, at least to us.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Crazy.

GoldenSiracha: and And no one's happy about it.

DUNCANTHETHOT: the The motherfuckers that made the...

GoldenSiracha: Everyone's irritated and annoyed.

HANGINHAWGS: Yeah, this it's it's getting overshadowed by the by the Microsoft blunder that, you know...

GoldenSiracha: Oh yeah, man.

DUNCANTHETHOT: the The motherfuckers that made the the the Demon's Souls remake that was wonderful...

GoldenSiracha: that's

HANGINHAWGS: Demon's Souls?

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

HANGINHAWGS: Yeah.

GoldenSiracha: Demon's Souls.

Steve-O: It was such an easy slam dunk. You didn't need any knowledge to know.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

Steve-O: You get these guys to make this game.

HANGINHAWGS: Yeah, people buy it like people buy the souls people will buy it.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah. Now I, I, I have read that, you know, obviously it's a little bit, there's a little bit more to the story than, you you know, you probably think we just like true of all things.

GoldenSiracha: Right. But yeah, like, like, you know, the, the, apparently ah so blue point was working on.

DUNCANTHETHOT: What, they were just sitting around eating hoagies? They weren't making games anymore? mean,

HANGINHAWGS: Hoagies? Eating around, eating hoagies?

DUNCANTHETHOT: I understand that. They should just say that.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

DUNCANTHETHOT: That would be better if they...

Steve-O: It's relatable.

DUNCANTHETHOT: yeah

GoldenSiracha: So Bluepoint was they their last game, I think. Was it the Demon's Souls remake?

Steve-O: I think it was Demon's Souls remake in 2020.

GoldenSiracha: or Or it was ah the Shadow of the Colossus remake? One of those two.

HANGINHAWGS: Oh man, one of those like goaded remakes.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, one of those goaded remakes that everyone loved and no one had a problem with.

HANGINHAWGS: Oh my god.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah. But ah so they were a support team on...

Steve-O: That's crazy.

HANGINHAWGS: And people bought

Steve-O: That's their whole thing.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, so they were a support team on God of War, Ragnarok. Then according to reports, they pitched... the live service project.

GoldenSiracha: But I think like we kind of have have heard in the past, then pitching doesn't necessarily mean, yeah but like, but like when a company pitches an idea like that, that doesn't necessarily mean it was like 100% their idea.

HANGINHAWGS: were like, give us destiny. Let us do destiny three.

GoldenSiracha: You know, like Sony was probably like, you pitch us that, right?

Steve-O: Yeah.

HANGINHAWGS: Yeah.

GoldenSiracha: Not saying it's true one way or the other, but yeah.

Steve-O: They probably pitched a Bloodborne remake and they went, no, no, no.

GoldenSiracha: So, so the blood board, I'm sorry.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Who would play that?

GoldenSiracha: So the God of War, Yeah, the God of War live action thing crashes and burns because Jim Ryan's the fucking worst. And then they didn't they weren't doing anything for a year and they kept pitching ideas and they kept not getting selected. And I have no idea.

GoldenSiracha: That's the part that no one really understands. Like, what do you what do you mean? Like, Sony has a backlog that rivals Nintendo, right? It's just like, it's, their backlog's insane.

GoldenSiracha: I'm sorry, backlog, ah like their library. And it's like, yeah, but here's a few things that, you know, they could have worked on.

HANGINHAWGS: their IP library. Yeah.

GoldenSiracha: Bloodborne, Killzone, Infamous, Resistance, a Twisted Metal game, Legend of Dragoon, fucking Cool Borders, Siphon Filter, Dark Cloud, Sly Cooper.

DUNCANTHETHOT: I love you.

GoldenSiracha: Like, you're telling me that they couldn't,

HANGINHAWGS: That you can find something for them to do.

GoldenSiracha: I couldn't find something to do. Like, that's wild to me.

HANGINHAWGS: During a remake, remake renaissance that we're having right now, like,

GoldenSiracha: Yeah. Yeah. it's but Yeah.

HANGINHAWGS: these guys are proven already? Like, come on.

GoldenSiracha: Right. And it's like, so you couldn't you couldn't do... i mean, it sounds like, you know, there was other news of the their the remaking the God of War games.

GoldenSiracha: It's like, okay, okay I guess. Like, sure.

HANGINHAWGS: Yeah, but they're not they don't have to do that.

GoldenSiracha: and Actually, I think Bluepoint... Yeah, they they don't got to worry about that, I guess, anymore. um It's just... It's a studio everyone loved, and it's a studio everyone was just waiting, essentially, for, like, when are we going to hear about the Bluepoint Bloodborne game?

GoldenSiracha: And then...

HANGINHAWGS: Yeah.

GoldenSiracha: They die.

HANGINHAWGS: so almost yeah It's almost like, i mean, i don't none of this is, you know, this is all just conjecture still, but like it's almost like, it felt like almost like Bluepoint didn't want to do the Bloodborne remake.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

HANGINHAWGS: And maybe maybe it that's maybe that's why it just wasn't in the cards since the beginning.

GoldenSiracha: I mean...

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, I mean, there is, but but at some point it's like,

DUNCANTHETHOT: Yeah, maybe they were they were like dragging their feet.

HANGINHAWGS: Or maybe they're maybe they're intimidated, Chris, that they're like, oh, there's no way we could remake that game and make it good.

GoldenSiracha: but, but they did.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Well, now PlayStation is going to come out on stage. John PlayStation.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

DUNCANTHETHOT: He's going to say Bloodborne 2, $50.

HANGINHAWGS: Yeah.

DUNCANTHETHOT: He's going to drop the mic.

HANGINHAWGS: New, yeah, new, new, ah new Sony, new Sony director of studio development, Bill Menser.

DUNCANTHETHOT: He's going to walk away.

GoldenSiracha: Oh man.

Steve-O: fifty dollars

DUNCANTHETHOT: Steve's

GoldenSiracha: I think Sean's going be like, what if I bought it on the Switch too?

DUNCANTHETHOT: going walk away.

GoldenSiracha: ah

HANGINHAWGS: he's He's got a mustache and sunglasses on.

GoldenSiracha: Oh, man.

HANGINHAWGS: I don't know where they found this guy, but you know, he's going to announce the blood.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

DUNCANTHETHOT: I'm going to bring the blood back. It's going to be born again.

GoldenSiracha: and And then this, so then this then opens the door to people going like, what has Sony been doing with the studios they purchased?

DUNCANTHETHOT: Bloodborne 2.

HANGINHAWGS: Oh God.

GoldenSiracha: And I looked this up. They bought 11 studios since 2019. They've closed three of them and like five of them haven't done anything yet.

HANGINHAWGS: And one of them is the literal embodiment of corporate cancer and it's called Bungie and, and it's eating their finances alive right now.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah. So this is...

DUNCANTHETHOT: So what you're saying to me, what you're saying to me is Sony is the new ea and they're just ruining game studios for forever.

GoldenSiracha: yeah so so this is Well, so, okay, so so here's here's a quick list. Isomniac Games, which is obviously a great a great pick, still had layoffs after Spider-Man 2, despite.

HANGINHAWGS: Fine. Yeah. theyre Fine. they're Fine.

GoldenSiracha: Housemarque, who did Returnal, they're working on Soros, pretty good. Nixus Software, which is a support studio that's currently still working. Firesprite, which made one VR game in 2023, has done nothing since.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Devin, start cracking the web.

GoldenSiracha: A company called Fabric Games, Hasn't shipped anything since 2017. I think another support studio, but like no one knows what they're doing. Bluepoint, obviously closed.

HANGINHAWGS: dead.

GoldenSiracha: Valkyrie Entertainment, acquired in 2021. Hasn't shipped a game since 2015. Worked on Concord. Pretty sick, right? That was pretty successful.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Concord grapes.

GoldenSiracha: ah Haven Studios, acquired 2022. Hasn't shipped anything. Working on that that ah probably super successful live action service game, Fairgrains. Remember that?

GoldenSiracha: Shocking. No, no one remembers that. Uh, and it's going to come out and it's probably going another Concord Bungie, which, you know, they're it's Bungie, uh, a company called neon Koi, uh,

GoldenSiracha: never they purchased in 2022, never shipped anything, closed in 2024 and Firewalk Studios, which famously launched Concord and then closed after like three weeks after that game launched.

GoldenSiracha: So we have. Good game studio, good game studio, pretty notable support studio, vr nothing, nothing, nothing.

DUNCANTHETHOT: So what you're saying is if you're a game studio, do not go near Sony.

GoldenSiracha: nothing nothing

DUNCANTHETHOT: If you want to keep making games, if you want to make money, just make some money and leave and dip.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

GoldenSiracha: There's been like eight studios and like outside of like Bungie, there's really again, like. ah

HANGINHAWGS: talk about Are you saying making money? Because I don't think Bungie's been making that much money.

GoldenSiracha: But but I mean, like like at least Bungie has a game and it's still Bungie, but like we ever I think everyone knows, like if Marathon doesn't hit, that's probably it for Bungie, you know?

DUNCANTHETHOT: Whoop. Get rid of them.

HANGINHAWGS: It's over, yeah.

Steve-O: Mm-hmm.

HANGINHAWGS: No, and they they delayed ah the the next big update for Destiny 2 as well, which is like you know and not really like relevant to what we follow, but in the

GoldenSiracha: yeah ah Yeah, man.

HANGINHAWGS: in the Destiny world, it's like kind of a big deal. People are really fucking down on it.

GoldenSiracha: It's just...

DUNCANTHETHOT: Everybody's pooping their pants and expectation of Grand Theft Auto 6.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, it's just... Yeah.

HANGINHAWGS: Yeah, they delayed it three months.

GoldenSiracha: Well, just like... Sony...

DUNCANTHETHOT: It's starting to hit the the bomb.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, just...

DUNCANTHETHOT: It's clearing everything out.

GoldenSiracha: and And, you know, obviously it's been a few weeks since we since since we were recorded an episode, but they were coming off a great state of play. Like a very, everyone was very happy with that state of play.

GoldenSiracha: I think it was, listen, it's the most viewed one.

HANGINHAWGS: Yeah, I thought it was all right.

GoldenSiracha: It's definitely the best one they've had in a very long time.

HANGINHAWGS: I'm hearing that in the summer, we'll hear what the real project that that Santa Monica's been working on.

GoldenSiracha: And there was.

GoldenSiracha: The real, the real stuff. Yeah. The real stuff, but it's,

HANGINHAWGS: That's not, yeah, that's not Diet Hollow Knight.

GoldenSiracha: But like, what a crazy, what a crazy week, right?

HANGINHAWGS: and um

GoldenSiracha: It's like you start off with something pretty sick and then it's like.

HANGINHAWGS: Oh yeah, we didn't really, we didn't talk about the state of play, did we?

GoldenSiracha: No, no, we didn't because because, yeah, we didn't really.

HANGINHAWGS: we took a break last week.

GoldenSiracha: ah Yeah, we took a little took a little break, a little baby break.

HANGINHAWGS: Yeah, I thought it was...

Steve-O: What was hot? What was hot during it?

GoldenSiracha: Well, I mean.

HANGINHAWGS: Castlevania was hot.

Steve-O: Castlevania was hot. I agree.

GoldenSiracha: the the God of War projects were hot.

HANGINHAWGS: new hot Hollow Knight-like Castlevania. Dude, I was fucking dying.

GoldenSiracha: and

HANGINHAWGS: I'm like, this is going trigger so many people. And it's so funny. That guy definitely was trolling. and they like People were saying that they blocked that guy for for being too young or something.

HANGINHAWGS: i was like, oh my god.

Steve-O: yeah

GoldenSiracha: um go

HANGINHAWGS: This guy's just trolling you. You guys fell for the bait, bro.

GoldenSiracha: ah There was a a new Kena.

HANGINHAWGS: Hollow Knight's the most toxic community on the fucking planet. They're gonna they're gonna get their digs in.

GoldenSiracha: Oh, God, yeah. Yeah, a Kena Bridge of Spirits sequel, which looks good you know visually.

HANGINHAWGS: Yeah. Did you play the other one?

GoldenSiracha: Silent Hill Townfall. I did. I liked it. It was very close to being like a very good game, but it just didn't.

HANGINHAWGS: Silent Hill Townfall actually looks good. Not gonna lie.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, that looks sick.

Steve-O: That does look cool

GoldenSiracha: You know, this.

HANGINHAWGS: Will I play it? I don't know. But it looks good.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, this is weird for me, I guess. But ah I've been on a weird legacy of cane kick. And then they just announced legacy of cane defiance remastered.

Steve-O: cool. They know you.

HANGINHAWGS: Oh, man. God damn it.

Steve-O: They know you so much.

GoldenSiracha: south Which I was like, all right.

HANGINHAWGS: you would think my You would think I would trigger Red or red Dead Redemption 3 to come out with all my play and Cyberpunk 2.

DUNCANTHETHOT: No, Devin's really in into main characters without their lower jaw.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

HANGINHAWGS: Yeah.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, I'm super into chinless men.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Fucking loves that shit.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah. um

DUNCANTHETHOT: don't know why.

HANGINHAWGS: Giga-cha. There's just no D because there's no jaw.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah. A Rayman 30th and it works just is like just fun. That's Rayman. There's this game where you play as a giant rooster or chicken.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Okay, chicken game.

GoldenSiracha: Project Windless, which looks sick like it looks sick.

HANGINHAWGS: We didn't... Yeah, but, oh man, people were really saying Bloodborne and then we got the direct opposite a week later.

GoldenSiracha: as giant chicken.

HANGINHAWGS: no No, no, The direct opposite of Bloodborne was the studio that could have made the remake

DUNCANTHETHOT: Johnny Chicken's pretty blood-borne, Devin.

GoldenSiracha: I know. I know. um and Again, more Resident stuff. Star Wars got a Galactic Racer. More of that. And that looks to me, that looks really good.

GoldenSiracha: I'm into it. ah Better look at control the new Control sequel. Control Resonant.

DUNCANTHETHOT: I'm going eat that.

Steve-O: I'm excited for that.

GoldenSiracha: Uh.

DUNCANTHETHOT: i gonna eat that.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, a game called Neva, Crimson Moon, which is like, okay, cool. We got demos. They they kept dropping a bunch of demos.

DUNCANTHETHOT: DeMose. I love that game.

GoldenSiracha: 007, which looks good. Metal Gear Solid 4 is out of PS3 jail, which is just like, oh, sick. Like, that's just good. You know, regardless of how you feel, i think it's just...

HANGINHAWGS: That game's out of PS3 jail, but there's another game that is not out of PS3 jail, which is Bloodborne. Was there any news on that?

GoldenSiracha: I don't think Bloodborne is in PS3 jail, but I understand.

Steve-O: yeah

DUNCANTHETHOT: He got me.

HANGINHAWGS: Or no?

DUNCANTHETHOT: Got me.

GoldenSiracha: i understand where you're coming from.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Nice. He got me again.

GoldenSiracha: ah Yeah.

HANGINHAWGS: Am I wrong?

DUNCANTHETHOT: I'm wrong.

GoldenSiracha: Well, yes, because it wasn't on PS3.

Steve-O: it's It's the thing everyone asks for.

HANGINHAWGS: no, because, you know, no you know let me expand let me expand on this, though, because there was a guy, the guy that's making the fucking 60 frames version for PC,

Steve-O: I

GoldenSiracha: Okay. Okay. okay

HANGINHAWGS: got a fucking cease and desist letter from Sony saying, stop doing this.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah. But like, of course he got one.

Steve-O: i remember when Metroid did that.

HANGINHAWGS: Oh, it's so it's okay if Sony does it, but if Nintendo does it, they're fucking corpo central.

Steve-O: Nintendo did do that with Metroid.

HANGINHAWGS: with With everything.

GoldenSiracha: They do it all the time.

HANGINHAWGS: Nintendo does it with everything.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

HANGINHAWGS: No, but I mean, what what that's what...

GoldenSiracha: ah

Steve-O: but But later on, it was revealed they were remaking the original Metroid. so

GoldenSiracha: But like, it's just,

HANGINHAWGS: chris would you forget

DUNCANTHETHOT: i Yeah, well, I actually, you saying that, that's exactly what I was thinking when you guys were talking about them shutting down the studio.

HANGINHAWGS: Chris, would you forget about all this Bluepoint drama if... They do announce Bloodborne Remake, and it's just... Miyazaki's doing it.

Steve-O: Yeah, just they just got them.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Like, the only thing they could do to redeem themselves would be Bloodborne 2 and then they...

HANGINHAWGS: It's just fucking do it. And get... and get FromSoftware to just do it.

GoldenSiracha: yeah it's like they they really need to just release a Bloodborne 2 at this point just to get people to be less mad yeah um

DUNCANTHETHOT: Yeah.

DUNCANTHETHOT: That's the only thing that that that would redeem them.

HANGINHAWGS: And honestly, you don't need blood ah blood Blood Point. They might as well just rename themselves to that. But they didn't they don't need Bluepoint to just release an upscaled version of the original game on PS5, too.

Steve-O: Mm-hmm.

GoldenSiracha: sorry

HANGINHAWGS: like i don't understand what the like i don't think people will care if you just let people play it on an updated console with the bare minimum updates to the game, too.

HANGINHAWGS: You know like you don't have to remake it

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

HANGINHAWGS: So my my theory still stands, Chris. Bloodborne 2 will be announced this summer. They're going to announce it this summer. And they're going to shadow drop Bloodborne PS5 version.

HANGINHAWGS: Not remastered or anything. Or they'll call it remastered, but it's not going to be remastered.

DUNCANTHETHOT: They have to.

HANGINHAWGS: They're going to say we add we added a ah roguelike Elden Ring...

GoldenSiracha: yeah

DUNCANTHETHOT: They have to at this point.

HANGINHAWGS: ah Night Rain version of Bloodborne into the the original game as well.

DUNCANTHETHOT: I'd shit a brick.

HANGINHAWGS: So you can have that too.

DUNCANTHETHOT: But at this point, I am...

HANGINHAWGS: Would you you would power out you You would finally turn the PS5 on too? Because I would for that.

DUNCANTHETHOT: yeah

HANGINHAWGS: rest

GoldenSiracha: you blow You blow off the tomb.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Devin would blow all the dust off of it for me.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah. It opens up like fucking Duren's book in Lord the Rings.

DUNCANTHETHOT: And...

HANGINHAWGS: Devin, would you actually play it? like if that if If that was announced, would you actually just play it? Because you had to at that point?

GoldenSiracha: That's the thing. No, that's the thing. like i I'm weirdly invested just because I want it for other people.

HANGINHAWGS: You wouldn't play it

GoldenSiracha: You know?

GoldenSiracha: Dude, we've i've we've tried this experiment so many times.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Everybody's got a Moby Dick, Devin.

GoldenSiracha: It's just...

DUNCANTHETHOT: That's just the way it is.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah. I have a Moby Dick.

HANGINHAWGS: But it's Bloodborne. There's guns in this one.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, but I...

Steve-O: Wait, you wouldn't do it? and You wouldn't do it? Ooh, Devin, you you tilt to some FOMO real hard sometimes.

HANGINHAWGS: You want to just play it?

GoldenSiracha: No. No, because I don't like those games.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Yeah, you you do.

HANGINHAWGS: Would you play it six months later if it was free on PlayStation Plus?

DUNCANTHETHOT: you do But but every devyn realizes everybody devon Devin realizes everybody's got a Moby Dick and it's just that's mine for sure.

GoldenSiracha: Yes, of course, Nightblade for free.

Steve-O: ah

GoldenSiracha: Listen, if if steve if Steve just said, oh, hey, check your email. I bought you a Bloodborne remake.

HANGINHAWGS: I bought you a PlayStation five gift card.

Steve-O: Ooh.

GoldenSiracha: i would I would play it.

HANGINHAWGS: Cause that's all you could do.

GoldenSiracha: I would play it.

Steve-O: Okay, okay.

HANGINHAWGS: can't.

Steve-O: Here's the thing. Here's the thing. I don't know if that would be the gift. I don't i don't think that'd be a good gift for you. I feel like that would be like a penance.

GoldenSiracha: No, I'd be like, this is a threat. Yeah, this is a this is a shot.

Steve-O: A curse.

GoldenSiracha: You shot across the bow, dude.

Steve-O: I'd get you the God of War remake trilogy.

HANGINHAWGS: That's like when.

GoldenSiracha: Boom, good.

Steve-O: That's a slam dunk.

DUNCANTHETHOT: ah you go

GoldenSiracha: Give me that.

HANGINHAWGS: Dude, I'm hearing a lot of stuff about that. It's like actually remade.

GoldenSiracha: o what do you mean?

HANGINHAWGS: Like they're not just the remake.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Steve would get me the Bloodborne remake, but it would be like the substance where I have to walk through like this little door and in in this alley somewhere and have to collect it from a slot.

HANGINHAWGS: They're,

Steve-O: Hands down.

Steve-O: Oh, yeah.

HANGINHAWGS: dev

GoldenSiracha: yeah

HANGINHAWGS: Is this some... Is this...

DUNCANTHETHOT: that's That's the scenario I see happening.

HANGINHAWGS: Is the God of War remake trilogy just going to play 2018 style? Because I'll play them all if they're like that, to be honest.

GoldenSiracha: I don't know. i I have no idea. i mean, i think there's like pretty much next to nothing.

HANGINHAWGS: I mean, my my my sentiment still stands. like no what I didn't really care for this. I don't know if like that was a big drop that they're remaking the original God of Wars.

GoldenSiracha: Well, okay, so... Well, you know why? You know why? Because it's not nostalgic for us. Because we were like out of high school when...

HANGINHAWGS: I mean, but I played the first two. i loved i loved them.

GoldenSiracha: No, I know, but like... But you know how like people were like when they saw like Gears, they were like remaking Gears and people got like nostalgic.

HANGINHAWGS: No, but...

GoldenSiracha: Like I don't think... Because I was in the same... i was like, I'm excited. 100% going to play it, right?

HANGINHAWGS: No, but it's like... No, but if you look at...

GoldenSiracha: But I didn't freak out when I saw the news.

HANGINHAWGS: like um sure Yeah, i'm looking out I'm looking at it objectively, and in my in my unbiased opinion, 2018 God of War...

HANGINHAWGS: being called God of War was just the redefinition of what that series was, and it completely took it over and clears it tenfold.

GoldenSiracha: yeah

HANGINHAWGS: And, like, I don't even think the original series is, like, relevant. I mean, it is, I mean, it is it is, I guess, I guess it story-wise, but, like, you know, like, I don't know, dude.

GoldenSiracha: I got to disagree with you there.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Oh, Devin!

GoldenSiracha: That's like the whole point. Here's the thing.

GoldenSiracha: i like here's here's the thing

HANGINHAWGS: Devin, it's like saying 10 controls in Resident Evil, like, you would you would tell people to play the originals. Like, those are still nostalgic to me, but, like, that's different.

GoldenSiracha: I mean, some of those are still great. but well so But you know they should do?

HANGINHAWGS: Yeah, but it's like...

GoldenSiracha: This is what I'm thinking. they should do They should treat God of War, essentially, how Capcom treats Resident Evil, right? Announce, like...

HANGINHAWGS: yeah but you know what but you know what kills it? It's the whole trilogy they announced. It's not like... We're redoing the first God of War.

GoldenSiracha: Do you think it's going to be three games?

Steve-O: one one

GoldenSiracha: You don't think it's going to be...

HANGINHAWGS: Is it not three games? Is the trilogy not three games?

GoldenSiracha: No, that's but's what I mean. People don't even know if it's three separate games or if this is going to be like one game with all of them in one.

HANGINHAWGS: No, no. Well, the fact that they announced the trilogy may undersells a lot more to me because it undervalues it because if they if they said the original God of War remastered, then that's a different because then they're taking their time with one remaster.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, but at the same time, at the same time, though, it's like...

HANGINHAWGS: No, because like, what if they, what if, okay, remember how we all wanted Resident Evil 2 remake for yeah for our our entire the entirety of our fucking 20s, right?

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

HANGINHAWGS: What if they announced Resident Evil trilogy remake?

GoldenSiracha: Well, I don't think I would have been.

HANGINHAWGS: Like, that takes the wind out of the sails completely.

GoldenSiracha: I don't know about that because here's the thing.

HANGINHAWGS: Because that's,

GoldenSiracha: Everybody would say, well, are they going to remake God of War 2? Are they going to And they just said, yeah, let's just fucking let's get out of the way. Yes, of course, we're going to remake it because we're a little pig boys.

HANGINHAWGS: I don't know, man.

GoldenSiracha: We're a little pig people.

DUNCANTHETHOT: It does feel like it's going to be one big game, though, from that announcement.

GoldenSiracha: And I just want more.

HANGINHAWGS: Nah.

GoldenSiracha: i want more. You think you don't think it

HANGINHAWGS: Yeah, yeah it it feels like it's it's a lot of effort into three games and instead instead of just doing one at a time where it could be more valuable that way. It would be more it would be more masterful to do one game at a time and to announce one at a time.

GoldenSiracha: Well, no, but i i think I kind of think they're going to treat... Like I said, I think they're what they should do, frankly, is I think they should treat it like Resident Evil. Like, here's here's a remake.

HANGINHAWGS: you know what and You know what's sad?

GoldenSiracha: Here's the the the new game. Here's a remake. Here's the new game. And obviously, they're not going to be working on it like like Capcom has that shit down to a science.

HANGINHAWGS: Yeah, so just copy Capcom.

GoldenSiracha: But... Well, no, that's all I think they they're attempting to do that. Like, I think there's a specific team...

HANGINHAWGS: Yeah, but this is like biting this is like the classic case of biting possibly biting off more than you can chew. Because this is like this like Final Fantasy VII remake being three games, and then you don't know when the third one's coming out.

GoldenSiracha: I mean, it's a little different because it's it's...

HANGINHAWGS: No, because like what if you know what if they don't feel like...

GoldenSiracha: It's gonna be a minute before of War 3 remake drops, unless they...

HANGINHAWGS: what

HANGINHAWGS: No, no, and that's what saying. What if God of War doesn't do so well? And then God of War doesn't do so well.

DUNCANTHETHOT: That's why I think it's going to be one game.

HANGINHAWGS: What if they just...

DUNCANTHETHOT: that That's...

GoldenSiracha: You think it's gonna be one monster-sized game?

HANGINHAWGS: That's why it's going to be one big game.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Yeah.

HANGINHAWGS: One big giant, one big giant poorly remade game because it's just, because they're, no, because like, again, like, what if, you know, it's it's kind of like, ah it's they're treating it like it's Super Mario Brothers 1, 2, and 3.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Yeah. Yeah.

GoldenSiracha: just badly remade game

HANGINHAWGS: Like, it's not, you know, i don't know. I don't think this the way to do it. If that, if their intention is to take their time with each one, which is what they probably should do, I don't think that's what it is.

GoldenSiracha: yeah but the problem is is these games take fucking six years to make so it's like

HANGINHAWGS: Yeah, so it takes six years to remake all three of them, and it's just a remake, and it's not that great, and it's whatever. like it's just ah ah It's not even... i got This this but ah begs to have the discussion again of what a remake is, what a reimagining is what a remaster is.

GoldenSiracha: Well, i mean, they yeah, they said, they just said, like, remake, right?

HANGINHAWGS: they can They can say whatever the fuck they want, and it doesn't mean anything.

GoldenSiracha: don't know, man.

HANGINHAWGS: you know now there's No, there's no industry...

GoldenSiracha: Because the thing is, is, like, there's already, no.

HANGINHAWGS: No, but there's no industry...

GoldenSiracha: I'm pretty sure, funny enough, Bluepoint did the remaster of 1, 2, and 3 that you can buy. It's like like, you know, they did, like, 1080p version or whatever it was.

HANGINHAWGS: Yeah, and fucking ah Chubby Chickens did Resident Evil 4 remaster for the fucking Wii or for for the what fucking Wii U or whatever and the and the iPad 3 when they came out.

HANGINHAWGS: like That doesn't really mean anything. you know like they still re They still had to remake the whole game.

GoldenSiracha: No, but I'm just saying, like, I don't think... No, but you're saying, like, maybe it's a rematch.

HANGINHAWGS: and So it's like,

GoldenSiracha: Like, no, I think this is going to be, like, a full-blown remake. Like, Resident Evil 2 remake.

Steve-O: you think it's going to be over the shoulder, Kratos?

HANGINHAWGS: Yeah, so... Yeah, yeah, that's my and that's my

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, I think will be, 100%.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Older, older.

HANGINHAWGS: And that's my argument. Like, why why announce the entire trilogy, then? Like, that's a lot.

GoldenSiracha: Again, i think I think they're just saying, like, listen, you know we're going fucking do it, so let's just do it. like Because, again, like when RE2 got revealed, remake got revealed, we were all like, oh, I hope they do three.

HANGINHAWGS: Yeah.

GoldenSiracha: I hope they do code. Like, of course they're doing it.

HANGINHAWGS: No, no, but that's how you that's how you do it. That's how you build anticipation, and that's how you do marketing. You don't just announce, oh, Resident Evil 2, 3, 4 remake coming out, and then, you know...

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, because there was that really unsuccessful trilogy of films, Lord of the Rings, that they were all announced on the same day. Like, you can do it.

HANGINHAWGS: I mean, that's a different. They were all filmed at the same time.

GoldenSiracha: No, but I'm saying you can do it.

HANGINHAWGS: So that's basically...

GoldenSiracha: You can do it. this You can do it different ways.

HANGINHAWGS: ah okay, so this is what they're going to do, Chris. They're just going to make one big game, like Final Fantasy VII Remake, and just and release them in three parts release them in three parts, five years apart each.

GoldenSiracha: Well, three parts each. Yeah.

HANGINHAWGS: yeah i mean that's how you That's how you set up the bank with the money and and and and ATM.

GoldenSiracha: No, but but ah honestly, it's like all the excitement, all the excitement, like all the salt, like, but John, all the salt that you have about that, like it's out the window when they show you the first fucking trailer for God of War 2 remake.

HANGINHAWGS: That's how you set up the ATM.

DUNCANTHETHOT: out the butter, nice and thin over the toast.

GoldenSiracha: You know what I mean? Like, you're not going to be like, I can't believe they spoiled it.

HANGINHAWGS: No, but what i'm what I'm saying is, like, if you're expecting...

GoldenSiracha: Like, dude.

HANGINHAWGS: No, no, what I'm saying is if you're expecting Resident Evil 2, 3, 4 remake value out of this, then it's really... i like I don't think that's the right way to to look at it or that's the right way to announce it either.

GoldenSiracha: I'm not saying it's not like they could have, but like, I don't have a problem that they announced all three at once is what I'm saying. Because at the end of the day, when God of War remake one comes out and, and then two years later, we see the trailer for God of War two remake.

HANGINHAWGS: i think it devalues it devalues it

GoldenSiracha: I'm not going to go, oh my God, I really wish they didn't spoil it for me in 2026. Like,

HANGINHAWGS: No, I mean, that's, yeah, I mean, that's that's not, it's not ah it's not a matter of spoiling.

GoldenSiracha: like

HANGINHAWGS: It's a matter of like, oh, they took their time, did the first one, and now they're treating the second one with the same care as the other ones, you know?

GoldenSiracha: but you don't you don't But you're telling me that you don't think Capcom was working on 3 Remake while they were midway through 2 Remake?

HANGINHAWGS: No, this is the this is the equivalent, no, no, no, like, this is the equivalent of like, of like Halo being like, here's the roadmap of all the Halo games that are going to come out in the next 10 years.

GoldenSiracha: I don't know, man. I don't think it's any different than the Resident Evil Remake releases.

HANGINHAWGS: That's how it is, dude.

GoldenSiracha: Outside of outside of that, they didn't release they didn't announce it all at once

HANGINHAWGS: it's no no It's not... It's not the same.

GoldenSiracha: Like, yeah, I guess it's cool that we're still like, are we going to get Code Veronica remake?

HANGINHAWGS: No. And then... you don know what No, no. but No, no.

GoldenSiracha: I don't know, but

HANGINHAWGS: Yeah, but like... The thing is, is like maybe... It's because Capcom... Wasn't sure... If they were going to be able to do them... Because they don't know... What... The demand will be.

HANGINHAWGS: or And you know what? And this is like... Also... something to let the developers fucking take a fucking vacation once in a while too. Not like they have three.

GoldenSiracha: take na No, no, you can't go take that. It's clear.

HANGINHAWGS: No, no, it's not a risk though.

GoldenSiracha: They were clearly.

HANGINHAWGS: It's got a war.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, I know.

HANGINHAWGS: It's their biggest IP.

GoldenSiracha: But John, you're saying like Capcom, like they were clearly working on three remake while they were making two remake. Like clearly they were doing it because those games take a while to come out, like to make. And it wasn't five years between. Actually, I don't know what the year drop was, but I don't think it was five years between it.

GoldenSiracha: And obviously Capcom was still putting out other games.

HANGINHAWGS: I'll say it's not it's not this it's not the same, and it's not going to be the same as them remaking Resident Evil 2.

GoldenSiracha: I'm not saying it's going be the same because I agree with you. I think the release schedule is going to be fucking awful unless because that's the weird thing.

HANGINHAWGS: No, it's going to be fine. It's going to be November 29th, 2027.

GoldenSiracha: yeah

HANGINHAWGS: All three God War remakes come out.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

HANGINHAWGS: So yeah, so like here's here's my well here's my other question.

GoldenSiracha: That would be, that would be insane. And obviously not.

HANGINHAWGS: Here's here's my other question. If if God of War... trilogy remake is just one big thing, one big purchase. Like, does that does that take the wind out of your sails?

GoldenSiracha: Oh,

DUNCANTHETHOT: It devalues it.

GoldenSiracha: No, I don't think it would. Because at the same time, it's like, I mean, the first thought I have, to be fair, is like, what did they cut?

DUNCANTHETHOT: think.

GoldenSiracha: Because there's no fucking way.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Yeah, they're going to cut. They're going to cut.

GoldenSiracha: No fucking way.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Of course they're going cut.

GoldenSiracha: But at the same time, I don't know.

DUNCANTHETHOT: They're

GoldenSiracha: We don't know if if it is going to be three separate or if it's going to one.

HANGINHAWGS: They're going to cut you wiggling wiggling your analog sticks to have a threesome as Kratos.

DUNCANTHETHOT: going They're going to cut you licking Hephaestus' balls or whatever you have to do to get him to forge you a hammer.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

HANGINHAWGS: That's what they're going to

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah. Save his daughter, you mean?

DUNCANTHETHOT: yeah You?

GoldenSiracha: Same difference.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Sure. Same thing. Same fucking thing, man.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

HANGINHAWGS: I just don't... I'm not going to make a direct comparison to High Guard, but I don't think God of War Trilogy Remake holds the same weight as like just is telling us what fucking Santa Monica's making. Because that's what everyone wants. We want the next God of War game.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

HANGINHAWGS: like I don't think anybody really cares for this.

Steve-O: Yeah.

GoldenSiracha: and And I truly... and that's But that is the thing, too, right?

HANGINHAWGS: And it's and then like that and that's why it's different from the Resident Evil thing, because Resident Evil was kind of in a ah limbo state until Resident Evil 7 came out.

GoldenSiracha: Like,

HANGINHAWGS: So then when Resident Evil 2 Remake was announced, that was a big deal.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, but but if I will say, though, if I were to be like, yeah, but that that doesn't mean, yeah, but John, that doesn't mean like they need it to do the remakes, right?

HANGINHAWGS: God of War has been good. those The last games have been really good.

GoldenSiracha: The remake, remake two was, remember, it was like one guy's passion project and he just put together a fucking huge PowerPoint and was like, for Resident Evil 2 remake, it was this one guy and he's like, I think we should do it.

HANGINHAWGS: For Resident Evil?

Steve-O: We do Right.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, we do it.

HANGINHAWGS: Yeah, but also, the fucking the entire fan base, the entire industry of fans has been screaming for Resident Evil 2 to be remade.

GoldenSiracha: Sure. Also part of that guy's PowerPoint, right? Like also probably he's like, listen, there's big, but that was that guy had to go into the fucking room. But I'm saying if I'm, if I'm in charge of the project,

HANGINHAWGS: And also, the remake the remake of the first the remake of the first game was a masterpiece, too, mind you. The remake of Resident Evil 1 was a masterpiece.

GoldenSiracha: of course it was. Yes.

HANGINHAWGS: So there's a lot there's a lot of...

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

HANGINHAWGS: That's why that holds more weight and why Capcom, I guess, did it correctly.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, i listen, I'm not saying Capcom, like, but what I'm saying, though, is if I'm in charge of this project, I would say, like, where it's like, hey, what we should do is we should do remake, new game, remake, new game.

HANGINHAWGS: Because...

GoldenSiracha: Like, if we should just look at what Capcom, modern Capcom has been doing with Resident Evil. I think that is exactly the pattern to steal in one way or the other.

HANGINHAWGS: Right, and that's – right. but but tta But also, do you just announce everything at once too? is is that that like I don't know if that's a good thing.

GoldenSiracha: I mean, listen, the fact that they did it is is whatever.

HANGINHAWGS: I don't think that's a good thing.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Radcop did do that.

GoldenSiracha: But again, i don't think that's really going affect too much. At the end of the day, I don't think that announcement they made on a fucking state of play in early February is really going to come back to bite them.

GoldenSiracha: You know what I mean? like i I just don't see that work like hurting them in any real...

HANGINHAWGS: it just seems yeah It just seems like, you know, i don't know.

GoldenSiracha: Because, like,

HANGINHAWGS: I'd rather see it i raly got a God of War 2018 remastered, to be honest.

GoldenSiracha: what would they remaster? Like, what is, like, could you, I mean, it's gross because, like, TC Carson, yeah.

HANGINHAWGS: change Change Christopher Judge's voice to the guy that's playing him in the TV show.

GoldenSiracha: oh Oh, wow, just white them up.

HANGINHAWGS: no no No, the guy, know thor Thor's voice from Ragnarok.

Steve-O: oh

GoldenSiracha: We just need to white that guy up real quick. um

HANGINHAWGS: Yeah, can we talk about that too?

GoldenSiracha: No, dude, what?

HANGINHAWGS: As much as that's cool that they got a guy that was in the game already, I just feel like, I don't know.

GoldenSiracha: was the The casting for the show?

HANGINHAWGS: Yeah, I think they could ah they could have done better.

GoldenSiracha: it's I mean, hey. it's It's a show that I'm not going to see for another like three years or two years or something like that.

HANGINHAWGS: Right.

GoldenSiracha: I don't know. like i I didn't mind him. He was great as Thor. He was pretty good in Sons of Anarchy. I don't think I've seen him in anything else.

HANGINHAWGS: Yeah, but are any of those guys Kratos, though? That's the thing.

GoldenSiracha: I mean, listen. I think live-action Kratos is crazy casting in general.

HANGINHAWGS: When you think of Kratos...

GoldenSiracha: I don't know what direction you go with that. Listen, it's got the fucking...

HANGINHAWGS: don't know, somebody that's not white? this is my

DUNCANTHETHOT: babed the teeth to

GoldenSiracha: john c trados is John Kratos is famously white.

HANGINHAWGS: i i Listen, we were all thinking it. I said it, okay?

GoldenSiracha: I don't know what you're referring to.

HANGINHAWGS: I know, but the the the actors that played him, were they all famously white?

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, i know

HANGINHAWGS: Is my is my rebuttal to you.

GoldenSiracha: ah I don't know. i don't know what you're referring to. um

HANGINHAWGS: I'm just saying.

GoldenSiracha: No, i that's what I said. i That was the first thing I thought of that was odd. I was like, that guy's very white.

HANGINHAWGS: Yeah.

GoldenSiracha: I think.

HANGINHAWGS: This is, ah you know, 2026 MAGA world now.

GoldenSiracha: Based off of...

GoldenSiracha: Dude, in in in Ronald D.

HANGINHAWGS: it it Reverse DEI.

GoldenSiracha: Moore, I trust, man. I don't know.

HANGINHAWGS: Okay.

GoldenSiracha: I trust the guy. The guy did Battlestar Galactica.

HANGINHAWGS: I mean, again, I don't i don't hate the casting.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

DUNCANTHETHOT: sure he did He did Deep Space Nine.

HANGINHAWGS: I think it's like...

DUNCANTHETHOT: He did the later season of The Next Generation.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

HANGINHAWGS: At least they got a guy that like knows... that has experience in the field, so to speak. You know, like he has experience with, you know.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

DUNCANTHETHOT: And he did Outlander, which I didn't watch. but

HANGINHAWGS: Is he big? Is he a big boy too?

DUNCANTHETHOT: Ronald D. Moore is pretty fat.

GoldenSiracha: Ronald Dean Roar or the, or Ryan Hurst.

HANGINHAWGS: No, the, uh, Hurst.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Oh.

GoldenSiracha: Ryan Hurst a big boy.

DUNCANTHETHOT: um

HANGINHAWGS: Yeah, let us, let's check his, check his stats.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Everybody's big. Everybody who's connected with this is big.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

HANGINHAWGS: He's six foot six.

GoldenSiracha: Well, I think he means like, ah yeah yeah, he's not nine foot tall.

HANGINHAWGS: Ah, he's too small.

DUNCANTHETHOT: No, I know like height, but like fat too.

GoldenSiracha: He's.

DUNCANTHETHOT: like We got some big boys.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah. Yeah. He's 50 dude.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Brightness.

GoldenSiracha: There's 49. What is modern medicine?

DUNCANTHETHOT: It's good. that's thiss That's a Kratos age.

GoldenSiracha: I guess. Yeah.

DUNCANTHETHOT: He's probably about 49 when we see him in God War.

GoldenSiracha: He's 49 in God years.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Yeah, yeah.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, he's got a kid.

DUNCANTHETHOT: he's got fucking news His back hurts and shit.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, he's got like a teen He's got like a teenager.

DUNCANTHETHOT: He's making some grunts that I make.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

DUNCANTHETHOT: You know, like I feel like that's fair.

GoldenSiracha: Listen, John, I'm only complaining when they don't keep the guy white.

HANGINHAWGS: Yeah.

GoldenSiracha: You know what I'm saying? That's my lane, okay?

DUNCANTHETHOT: You think he should be whiter, Kratos?

GoldenSiracha: can't. Well, john John's saying it's a bit odd that...

DUNCANTHETHOT: No, I mean like go go even whiter.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, just...

HANGINHAWGS: yeah He should have blonde hair and blue eyes too.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, just make him mow the lawn all the time.

HANGINHAWGS: That's that how it should be.

DUNCANTHETHOT: like The only Greek with blonde hair and blue eyes.

HANGINHAWGS: Imagine if they cast, what's his name? Fucking, what's his name? The guy that plays um Pennywise. They just get him to be Kratos.

GoldenSiracha: Skarsgård? Yeah.

HANGINHAWGS: Yeah, not Alexander Skarsgård, but the other Skarsgård.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

DUNCANTHETHOT: They want to be accurate. They should get that guy, that comedian who voices one of the characters on Invincible.

HANGINHAWGS: Bill.

DUNCANTHETHOT: God, what the fuck is that guy's name?

GoldenSiracha: Oh.

DUNCANTHETHOT: He's a Greek comedian. Yeah.

GoldenSiracha: Oh, Jason Mandukas or whatever?

DUNCANTHETHOT: Yeah, get Jason Mandukas.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, that guy. Oh, who played... Rexplode? Yeah.

DUNCANTHETHOT: That's Kratos. That guy's great.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, that wouldn't ruin it or anything. Wouldn't drive me crazy.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Devin, that guy's great. You know it.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, but it's Kratos? I mean, listen.

DUNCANTHETHOT: He's a gem. He's a gem, Devin. He wouldn't handle it.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, so... But again, so so again, we're kind of working a little bit backwards, but like Sony has this great...

HANGINHAWGS: Talk about God of War.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah. Sony has this great thing. Everybody's pretty pretty high on Sony. Sony then...

DUNCANTHETHOT: ah Devin, I would like to change gears a little bit since we're talking about giant men.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah. Please.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Yeah,

GoldenSiracha: Oh, how good was that episode, dude?

DUNCANTHETHOT: oh

GoldenSiracha: The finale's tonight, right?

DUNCANTHETHOT: yeah dude.

GoldenSiracha: right.

HANGINHAWGS: only I only watched the beginning of the second episode because everyone was talking about the hog.

GoldenSiracha: John, I'm telling you, man.

DUNCANTHETHOT: I am so hard.

GoldenSiracha: It's... Sean, I'm telling you, man. Steve, I'm telling you, too. I think this is the show.

Steve-O: I need to get in. I'm um' with you

HANGINHAWGS: Everybody says it's good.

GoldenSiracha: It's all done. It's all done. 30-minute episodes. There's eight eight episodes, I think, is the finale.

HANGINHAWGS: you know, Resident Evil's coming out in a few days, you know?

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, exactly.

DUNCANTHETHOT: I don't stop.

GoldenSiracha: What do you got to do until then?

DUNCANTHETHOT: don't stop getting...

GoldenSiracha: You got to stay off the internet.

Steve-O: you. Eight 30-minute episodes?

HANGINHAWGS: gotta play Mega Bonk.

Steve-O: That's nothing.

HANGINHAWGS: I gotta play Mega Bonk.

Steve-O: That's nothing.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, you're not playing Megabonks, so just watch.

HANGINHAWGS: I have to play Mega Bonk.

GoldenSiracha: Oh, my God.

Steve-O: You have to play Megavon.

HANGINHAWGS: You have to.

GoldenSiracha: No.

DUNCANTHETHOT: this shit This shit is prime rib.

GoldenSiracha: No, but... i Yeah.

Steve-O: Oh, the prime rib.

GoldenSiracha: Dude, it's so...

DUNCANTHETHOT: Yeah!

HANGINHAWGS: Is it better than Game of Thrones, Chris?

GoldenSiracha: Like, is it better than the peak of games?

HANGINHAWGS: I had to ask.

GoldenSiracha: I don't know. But as a first season, dude. Outstanding. ah Easily the best thing I've watched.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Yeah.

GoldenSiracha: Show wise, I think.

DUNCANTHETHOT: and Hands down.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Hands down.

GoldenSiracha: Like, yeah.

HANGINHAWGS: That's one this year so far.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, yeah.

HANGINHAWGS: TV we show.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

DUNCANTHETHOT: It's wonderful build up to a great and to to a wonderful story. I don't know.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

DUNCANTHETHOT: don't know how to describe it.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah. And like the. Not that I've read the story, but if you just heard like, oh, who's Duncan? Who's Duncan? Right. And you just wrote out his his attributes and his personality. And then you look at the guy they cast, who is definitely an unknown, like never seen.

GoldenSiracha: I just can't. This is like Chris Evans, Captain America. This is Hugh Jackman Wolverine. Like the casting is probably as perfect as you could make it. um

DUNCANTHETHOT: He looks so stupid. It's

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, but.

HANGINHAWGS: all This is based off a book.

DUNCANTHETHOT: wonderful.

HANGINHAWGS: This is one of the books too.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, this is the one of the Dunkin' Egg books, right?

DUNCANTHETHOT: Dunk an egg. Dunk an egg, babe.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah. And.

DUNCANTHETHOT: um yeah It's ah a 15-page short story that they're building... And, you know, elaborating upon.

DUNCANTHETHOT: And it's just pitch perfect. Everything's perfect about it.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

DUNCANTHETHOT: it's it's It's... And it's one of those things where the lore Game of Thrones, it doesn't it doesn't matter, really.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Like, House of the Dragons feels like it's weighed down by how much it has to explain about what's going on.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, and it's yeah it's just too it's too deep, I think.

DUNCANTHETHOT: It goes too deep. And the fact is House of the Dragon is also based off of but you know blood of the dragon, which is basically like an encyclopedia of history of the Targaryens.

DUNCANTHETHOT: So there's no like...

GoldenSiracha: It'd be kind of like... Chris, would you say it'd be like if they just made... like House of the Dragon is basically if they just made like the Cimerillion as show?

DUNCANTHETHOT: Yeah, exactly. perfect Perfect explanation of of what House of the Dragon is.

GoldenSiracha: yeah

DUNCANTHETHOT: And it's dry...

HANGINHAWGS: they doing a Cimmerillion too?

GoldenSiracha: Probably, probably, but, you know, and and again, like, the Scoven House of the Dragon is is gigantic in terms of, like, the implications and everything.

HANGINHAWGS: Like a movie?

DUNCANTHETHOT: Yeah, and they shouldn't.

GoldenSiracha: Knight the Seven Kingdoms, just a guy who just wants to fucking join a tournament, and it's so good.

DUNCANTHETHOT: It's...

DUNCANTHETHOT: It's laser-focused.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

DUNCANTHETHOT: It's laser-focused.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

DUNCANTHETHOT: On Dunk and an Egg. And that's it. And so is the story. And it's such... And and Duncan is... What I always like to stress about the story itself, and it's evident in the show, too. They really nailed this. Duncan is not an idiot.

DUNCANTHETHOT: He's not. he's He's not. He's just nice.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

DUNCANTHETHOT: And that... pay People think he's an idiot.

GoldenSiracha: He's a little naive, but yeah.

DUNCANTHETHOT: he is naive, but he's just because he's a nice person and he wants to be nice. And that, that is so against everything in that world. And he people aren't nice.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Like that's the core element of the show. It's the core element and it's lovely. It's lovely to watch.

GoldenSiracha: You know, listen, I don't mean to sound like a hater. Because I love the hate, right? But... Again, Night the Seven Kingdom is easily the best show I've watched.

GoldenSiracha: ah I had heard so many good things about Wonder Man, the MCU show.

Steve-O: Mm-hmm.

DUNCANTHETHOT: I watched couple episodes of that, Devin. I did.

GoldenSiracha: i Listen, I chew through it.

DUNCANTHETHOT: I cracked down.

GoldenSiracha: I chew through it. i got I got through the bulk of it in one night, and then I finished it off like a a few nights later. I like it. I think it's quite good. But people saying, like, this is the best MCU show ever and all that, I'm like, I don't.

DUNCANTHETHOT: that's a little pumped to break some of I watched i watched two, ah three episodes?

GoldenSiracha: Like, like we're we're working on, there's a different tier, right? There's different levels.

GoldenSiracha: Okay, two or three.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Yeah.

GoldenSiracha: Listen, it's ah it's a nice story.

DUNCANTHETHOT: um

GoldenSiracha: It's a nice little story. um I think ah ah Yaya, who who plays Simon Williams, who was a Black Manta in Aquaman, and you know Trevor Slattery, Ben Kings' character, is fun.

HANGINHAWGS: Are they recasting him for something or is he the same as the Mandarin?

GoldenSiracha: i Yeah, yeah.

DUNCANTHETHOT: You know what?

GoldenSiracha: It's the same guy.

DUNCANTHETHOT: ah you know what it

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, it's the same character.

DUNCANTHETHOT: It kind of feels like Barry, but if instead of him being a hitman, he's... a superpowered individual.

GoldenSiracha: that's A superhero. Yeah, yeah, super powered. And there's some things that they so they they do that's like, you know, overtly political.

DUNCANTHETHOT: That's... It's not as dark. It's not as dark.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah. Yeah, definitely not as dark. And good.

DUNCANTHETHOT: But...

GoldenSiracha: i want I'm not going to say it's not good because I enjoyed my my time with it.

Steve-O: but

GoldenSiracha: But like, you know, on on we have that.

HANGINHAWGS: say it's the best.

GoldenSiracha: And then, yeah. And I'm like, how is this even in the same fucking conversation as

HANGINHAWGS: I mean, that's what, dude, that's what people were saying about Fantastic Four, too. It's the best thing Marvel's ever done, blah, blah, blah, blah. blah

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

HANGINHAWGS: You know?

GoldenSiracha: Yeah. And I'm like, God damn, man. Like yep the bar is low, which which also not to shit on this show that everyone likes.

HANGINHAWGS: The bar's low right now.

GoldenSiracha: But like. This is what keeps me from wanting to really dig back into Andor. Because people are like, Andor is one of the greatest shows ever, blah, blah, blah. And I watched the first I watched half of the first season and I was bored to tears.

GoldenSiracha: And I'm willing to be wrong in that. And then season two came out. They're like, it's even better. The show as a whole is just like perfect. And like, shame on you for not watching it. And I want to get back into it. But then I watched Wonder Man, which got similar praise.

GoldenSiracha: And I was like, yeah, it's good. Like it's. it's But is it Night of the Seven Kingdoms? Like not even fucking close. Not even the same weight class, dude. Like.

DUNCANTHETHOT: No.

GoldenSiracha: So I don't know.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Night of the Seven Kingdoms is a wonderful buildup too. Like it starts really like a slow burn and then it just ignites at the end.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

DUNCANTHETHOT: And now I feel like we're with this last episode, we're getting more of like an epilogue, which is great. Like ah of this really wonderful story that built up.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

DUNCANTHETHOT: um But yeah, it's it's the first couple episodes, they're slow. You're learning more about who Dunk and Egg are. I'm just not even going to say their names to not spoil anything in particular.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

DUNCANTHETHOT: But yeah, like they're just a wonderful duo. And then you you see them in action. And it's that's something.

DUNCANTHETHOT: It's something to watch.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah. And like, I will admit, like, we are probably in danger of like overhyping it.

DUNCANTHETHOT: it's of the watch

GoldenSiracha: But like, it's if you have even a cursory knowledge of Game of Thrones, like, I think that's really all you need to know.

DUNCANTHETHOT: It's so good, though.

GoldenSiracha: Like there's there's these guys called Targaryens. There were dragons. It's elevated like fantasy, right? Like magic and stuff exists in this world.

GoldenSiracha: And that's kind of I think that's all you need to know because the character.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Devin was screaming at the television watching this.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, I was i was fucking amped, dude.

DUNCANTHETHOT: i Because I was.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

DUNCANTHETHOT: i know he was too.

GoldenSiracha: Jenny was sleeping and I'm pumping. I'm fist pumping, dude.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Yeah, I was too.

GoldenSiracha: you And then the next episode was even better. So it's like, okay.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Yeah.

GoldenSiracha: ah Yeah. So I don't know. I cannot recommend it more, any more than I have. Like, I, I mean, assuming this last episode is even remotely good.

GoldenSiracha: I think this is.

DUNCANTHETHOT: I kind of know. have a feeling I know what is gonna go down.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, that's fine.

DUNCANTHETHOT: It makes me happy. It makes me very happy.

GoldenSiracha: You probably know for you, you know, okay.

DUNCANTHETHOT: It's

GoldenSiracha: I don't.

DUNCANTHETHOT: yeah but awesome.

GoldenSiracha: Oh, no shit. But...

GoldenSiracha: Mind the dogs. Sorry.

DUNCANTHETHOT: I agree with those dogs.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

DUNCANTHETHOT: That's how excited i am.

Steve-O: Yeah, they're they're piping up they're piping up about it right now.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Yeah, because they know.

GoldenSiracha: And real quick, I also...

DUNCANTHETHOT: They know what I'm talking about.

Steve-O: They're watching the episode right now.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, I also...

DUNCANTHETHOT: They read the books.

GoldenSiracha: ah It was Jenny's birthday, but I somehow managed to drag her to the movies. And I saw How to Make a Killing with Glenn Powell.

HANGINHAWGS: What you guys watch.

HANGINHAWGS: Who's in that one?

GoldenSiracha: ah Glenn Powell and... Oh my God. Uh, she was in, that movie with the, the beautiful people, uh, Margaret Qualley.

Steve-O: the beautiful people.

GoldenSiracha: Um, right.

DUNCANTHETHOT: The substance?

GoldenSiracha: Yes, but she was in it. Um, it is not.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Oh, murder.

HANGINHAWGS: The Manson girl.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it is. Uh, yeah. Margaret Qualley. Yeah. It's not that good. I wouldn't recommend it. Um,

HANGINHAWGS: Was it a good date movie, though?

GoldenSiracha: kind of like There were better date movies out there, but Jenny was like, no, let's watch this one. ah it kind of like The opening you know first act is an upward trend of getting interesting, and it just never quite breaks through. and i don't I really try not to be the like, this is so unrealistic because I'm watching a movie.

GoldenSiracha: But there's just points where i was like, this is fucking...

HANGINHAWGS: Right.

GoldenSiracha: cartoonish. like This is so stupid. ah I don't know. i I'd say it's a soft kill. I wouldn't hate it, but like i don't think i could yeah I don't think I could be like, you you should see it.

Steve-O: soft kill i want you to try the john system real quick okay there we go all or nothing

GoldenSiracha: Oh, kill. Then it's a kill.

HANGINHAWGS: Yeah.

GoldenSiracha: ah Yeah, it's...

DUNCANTHETHOT: Well, Devin, you you watched another movie too.

HANGINHAWGS: Yeah.

GoldenSiracha: I did. i did. ah i We went to Chris's house this week and we watched Bound, right?

DUNCANTHETHOT: Yes, we did. ah Jennifer Tilly and Gina Gershwin.

HANGINHAWGS: Whoa.

GoldenSiracha: 1996 film bound.

HANGINHAWGS: Bound?

Steve-O: hmm

HANGINHAWGS: Jennifer Tilly movie?

DUNCANTHETHOT: Yes, sir.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah. Christopher Maloney.

HANGINHAWGS: that's pretty That's pretty... You guys just end up and having sex with each other afterwards or...

GoldenSiracha: You know, I'll be honest.

DUNCANTHETHOT: It was a spicy one.

GoldenSiracha: I'll be honest. I feel like the the spiciness is a little oversold.

DUNCANTHETHOT: It is. It is.

GoldenSiracha: It's oversold.

DUNCANTHETHOT: There's one incredibly spicy scene.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

DUNCANTHETHOT: And that's really about it.

GoldenSiracha: I mean, listen, for 96, that's like red hot, you know?

DUNCANTHETHOT: Yeah, it was. It was.

GoldenSiracha: But like, you know, pretty, pretty tame by today's.

DUNCANTHETHOT: But overall, interesting flick, right?

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, I.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Like...

GoldenSiracha: yeah I'll be honest, I'm not super familiar with um Gina Gershon.

HANGINHAWGS: Gershon?

GoldenSiracha: Gershon.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Gershon...

GoldenSiracha: Gershon. Yeah, there's not like a lot of things like like I know she's in face off, but like.

HANGINHAWGS: She was in GoldenEye, wasn't she?

DUNCANTHETHOT: Was she in Goldeneye?

GoldenSiracha: don't know, was she?

HANGINHAWGS: No, she wasn't.

GoldenSiracha: No, see, guess.

DUNCANTHETHOT: That's for Meek Jensen.

HANGINHAWGS: I'm thinking of Jean Grey.

GoldenSiracha: See? Oh, and yeah, yeah, yeah.

HANGINHAWGS: Jean Grey, yeah.

GoldenSiracha: um Listen, but Gina's a fox in this movie.

HANGINHAWGS: They're the same to me.

GoldenSiracha: And Jennifer Tilly is good.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Mm-hmm.

HANGINHAWGS: What is Gina Gershon? Hmm.

HANGINHAWGS: Face-off.

GoldenSiracha: I don't think she's a good actress.

HANGINHAWGS: and face off, that's where you saw her.

DUNCANTHETHOT: You don't like Juna Fertility, huh?

GoldenSiracha: I don't think. i like I like Jennifer Tilly. I just don't think she's a good actress. And I don't think she's particularly good in this movie. Because she has one octave and then she never raises or lowers.

DUNCANTHETHOT: like I think she played that role well.

GoldenSiracha: She just has that Jennifer Tilly like rasp.

DUNCANTHETHOT: That whisper.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, but it's like, hey, maybe maybe add a little bit more to this scene.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Yeah.

GoldenSiracha: Or maybe...

DUNCANTHETHOT: She's very passive.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, in kind of like a frustrating... I mean, granted, like... So ah Joe Pantoliano's in this, who's...

HANGINHAWGS: Yeah, is he better in this or The Matrix?

DUNCANTHETHOT: Joey Pants!

GoldenSiracha: He's way better in this than it may. Listen, I didn't really... Well, also, another thing I didn't know that Chris let me know is the Wachowski movie, um which explains Joe Pantoliano.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Yeah, baby.

HANGINHAWGS: Oh! o

GoldenSiracha: Of course. So I was like, he's great.

DUNCANTHETHOT: He's wonderful. of

GoldenSiracha: And to be fair, like when he's on the scene, I don't... Maybe maybe it's a great decision by Jennifer Tilly to be like, I'm just going to be here and you can be the fucking maniac. ah I was rooting for Caesar.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Jennifer Tilly, by the way, is an Academy Award winning actress.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah. For what, though?

DUNCANTHETHOT: Bullets Over Broadway, the Woody Allen film.

GoldenSiracha: Never seen it. That's on me. That's on me. I just, listen, I really only know Jennifer Tilly from to two things, and that's the Liar liar ah and the Chucky movies.

GoldenSiracha: Okay.

DUNCANTHETHOT: This, I think, i think she's, I'm going be honest. I'm going to, I'm going to defend Jennifer Tilly a little bit in this film.

GoldenSiracha: Okay.

DUNCANTHETHOT: I think she shows an incredible amount of range, especially when Joey Pants, I'm going to call him, ah outs her as the, the liar.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, that's fine.

DUNCANTHETHOT: ah that she is and she immediately switches to a much more acidic ah ah kind of more assertive tone and it I think it's a complete switch of her character and I think that is i quite a good amount of acting I personally think so I think that she's trying harder in this than Liar

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

GoldenSiracha: Okay. Listen, there's a subtleness there.

DUNCANTHETHOT: and

GoldenSiracha: Well, I mean, yeah, I'm just saying that's that's kind of what I recognized her from. I didn't really follow Jennifer Tilly's...

DUNCANTHETHOT: I think this is an interesting look at the Wachowskis before the

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, no, and it's it is cool if you're watching it through that lens because, like, you can really see the Matrix.

DUNCANTHETHOT: before the matrix

GoldenSiracha: It, like... it kind of gestating in this movie, the way they shoot some things and stuff like that. You can be like, oh wow. Yeah, that's a lot of leather, lot of fun, fun, you know, things they're doing with the camera.

DUNCANTHETHOT: shit load of leather I don't think there's a single scene there's like one scene and in day in the daytime ah everything else is that night

GoldenSiracha: Yeah. And granted, like the movie, it's in like, yeah, it's in like two rooms total. Like, yeah, one or two external shots, but that's pretty much it. Funny enough, Joe Pantoliano plays a, he plays a weirdly big part in Wonder Man.

GoldenSiracha: Chris, I don't think, don't know if you saw that episode.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Joey Pants. I saw the Joey Pants episode, of his course.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. there' I don't know why.

DUNCANTHETHOT: That I liked.

GoldenSiracha: He's just, yeah, yeah.

DUNCANTHETHOT: That made me laugh.

GoldenSiracha: um No, but a good movie, I'd say i give it a fuck.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Yeah. I'd say this is a good sit.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah. Okay.

DUNCANTHETHOT: I'd say this is a good sit.

GoldenSiracha: Okay.

DUNCANTHETHOT: ah Maybe even even a Mary. I'm not quite sure.

GoldenSiracha: John would give it a kill.

DUNCANTHETHOT: It's

GoldenSiracha: i think On the John scale.

HANGINHAWGS: Yeah.

DUNCANTHETHOT: not saucy enough.

GoldenSiracha: He's like, oh, it's not it's not south north by northwest?

Steve-O: Hmm.

GoldenSiracha: Oh, kill.

HANGINHAWGS: see I've seen Bound, but it was it's been a while.

GoldenSiracha: Okay. Yeah.

Steve-O: Seen Homeward Bound.

DUNCANTHETHOT: It's an interesting flick.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

HANGINHAWGS: Like, pre-college.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, Steve's only familiar with the whole word, Mound.

DUNCANTHETHOT: It's an interesting flick.

Steve-O: I've only seen Homeward Bound.

GoldenSiracha: ah That's sequel.

DUNCANTHETHOT: It's also a ah queer icon film.

GoldenSiracha: That's the sequel, yeah.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, yeah.

Steve-O: Is it?

DUNCANTHETHOT: Yes, it is. Very much so. Very much the lesbian film noir type movie that was touted.

GoldenSiracha: Chris, is it on brand for me that I was rooting for Caesar by the end of it?

HANGINHAWGS: you

DUNCANTHETHOT: Yeah.

GoldenSiracha: Because that guy, he's a hard worker, man.

DUNCANTHETHOT: You're right.

Steve-O: I would love to go through a list of movies where Devin ends up siding with the antagonists.

GoldenSiracha: Most of the Avatar movies.

DUNCANTHETHOT: ah

Steve-O: That I know. that I know.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, yeah. Bound. We can put Bound on that list. ah It's kind of scary.

DUNCANTHETHOT: ah

GoldenSiracha: I don't know what that says about Chucky. lot of horror in the films.

Steve-O: you root for Chucky, a lot of horror.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Jason. Jason.

GoldenSiracha: or Yeah, Jason, Freddy.

DUNCANTHETHOT: I mean, who doesn't root for...

GoldenSiracha: Maybe not. Freddy's pretty bad.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Who doesn't root for Freddy, though?

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, but he's...

HANGINHAWGS: you

GoldenSiracha: I know. Yeah, it's tough.

DUNCANTHETHOT: That guy's so charismatic.

GoldenSiracha: I know, but it's kind of like Mikey Mike Tyson, despite it it everything else.

DUNCANTHETHOT: You're right. I mean, you're absolutely right.

GoldenSiracha: And you're like, yeah, but he's my's Iron Mike.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Freddy, come on.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, but it's Freddy.

DUNCANTHETHOT: You made pizza out of those kids.

GoldenSiracha: Who cares? Yeah. Yeah.

DUNCANTHETHOT: That's something real special right there.

GoldenSiracha: yeah

Steve-O: There's definitely certain antagonists that, ah you know, will never be, like, citable.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

Steve-O: Like, Cruella de Vil.

DUNCANTHETHOT: mean...

Steve-O: Why did they try and, like, give her, like, a redemption backstory when they made, what was that?

DUNCANTHETHOT: Ridiculous.

HANGINHAWGS: Thank

Steve-O: Cruella?

DUNCANTHETHOT: Criella. A ridiculous film.

Steve-O: Yeah.

DUNCANTHETHOT: I mean, honestly. I mean this seriously. If you were an actor... Why wouldn't you want to be a villain? That's like the juiciest fucking role.

GoldenSiracha: yeah

Steve-O: Mm-hmm.

DUNCANTHETHOT: It's the juiciest role. Every film. It should be, at least. Right? Like...

GoldenSiracha: Well, you you know who I didn't root for? i didn't root for Kane. And I didn't root for the Ripper.

Steve-O: Oh, you root for Undertaker?

GoldenSiracha: No, no, no. I'm talking about Tom Noonan.

DUNCANTHETHOT: You didn't root for the Red Dragon in Manhunter, either?

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

Steve-O: Yeah. He was he's a... He was the Vegeta.

DUNCANTHETHOT: yeah

GoldenSiracha: He was the Vegeta of the film.

Steve-O: That'd be really funny to watch Monster Squad and just have Devin break it down as a Dragon Ball z

DUNCANTHETHOT: It's very anime.

GoldenSiracha: You know, I could do that with with World War II. Vegeta is Russia. Clearly, obviously, guys. Come on.

Steve-O: You've thought of this.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, no. I put too much thought into this.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Interesting.

GoldenSiracha: Oh, okay, gotcha. Okay, let's let's let's pull out real quick.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Maybe we should talk about the news because my internet has been pooping out nonstop.

GoldenSiracha: yes Yeah, so So we'll go pretty fast here.

Steve-O: Yeah, let's start wrapping up.

GoldenSiracha: I'll start with the movie TV, the live action stuff. We got a trailer for Spider Noir. They released two trailers, a black and white and a color trailer.

GoldenSiracha: Nicolas Cage as Detective Ben Reilly, right? Noir, Spider-Man. They're doing the whole thing. And I love, i have a I'm a big Nicolas Cage fan. I just, i my guy's almost 70, dude.

DUNCANTHETHOT: What? rip What? Really?

GoldenSiracha: Nicolas Cage is like 68 years old.

DUNCANTHETHOT: my God. Jesus.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah. Right? i'm not I'm not like a...

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Shut your mouth.

GoldenSiracha: Nicolas Cage... eggs I'm sorry. I'm sorry. 62. 62. But the dude's in 60.

DUNCANTHETHOT: I can eat it. He can eat a peach for hours.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah. um i don't know if you I don't know if you guys saw the trailer.

DUNCANTHETHOT: You know that?

GoldenSiracha: I think it looked good. It's just... I think it it's great that he played voice the character. i kind of think at the end of the day, this might be a miscast, but that's, that's just me.

Steve-O: I'm with you on that. i I feel like he's going to be doing the ah the Harrison Ford thing and just sitting down a lot.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah. Yeah.

DUNCANTHETHOT: That's a... yeah. Yeah.

GoldenSiracha: It's kind of, it's kind of rough.

Steve-O: Which is like, I understand. Like, that's the thing that always kind of bothered me.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Make War of the Worlds. Make another War of the Worlds.

Steve-O: You're famous. Just don't.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

Steve-O: You don't have to do movies anymore. You can still be famous.

GoldenSiracha: I mean, i think Nicolas Cage famously had some money issues, and so he did actually have to do a bunch of movies.

DUNCANTHETHOT: You could do the Ice Cube route. Oh...

Steve-O: ah Oh, he didn't want to go to jail with John McTiernan.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, dude, John McTiernan named him.

Steve-O: Oh,

DUNCANTHETHOT: oh

GoldenSiracha: He's like, he's a co-corroborator, dude.

DUNCANTHETHOT: He had to sell that pyramid he has in New Orleans.

Steve-O: oh no.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah. yeah

DUNCANTHETHOT: I saw that shit.

GoldenSiracha: Oh, man. There's a Mandalorian and Grogu trailer, which did... I went, okay, cool. Better than that Super Bowl trailer. um This one, this one i will i will die on this hill. I really like this Lee Cronin's Mummy trailer.

GoldenSiracha: um

Steve-O: Okay.

DUNCANTHETHOT: um one Big mummy guy.

GoldenSiracha: i was vib This is the this by the director who did ah Evil Dead Rises. um The Evil Dead movie from a few years ago that I think was a little oversold to me personally, but I still like that movie.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Yeah, it was okay.

Steve-O: It was okay It was not as good as the Evil Dead remake. 13.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, not as good as Evil Dead 2013.

DUNCANTHETHOT: No.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

Steve-O: thirteen

GoldenSiracha: thirteen yeah But, yeah. Let's see. Another story. Not...

Steve-O: I thought you were gonna say, I'm going to die on this hill just like Robert Duvall did.

GoldenSiracha: No, no.

Steve-O: Cause that was the next story in the lineup and it got me.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Ugh. He died on the hill?

Steve-O: I mean, I'm sure he died in a bed surrounded by loved ones possibly. um He was 95.

DUNCANTHETHOT: sure oh yeah good network godfather the apostle

Steve-O: You know, if you've watched movies, you've definitely seen Robert Duvall. So.

GoldenSiracha: You know, I actually, yeah i have ah i have a relatively bad take on this.

Steve-O: Oh, interesting.

GoldenSiracha: um I, it's just me being mean. i I saw the first article I saw said, the star of The Godfather, Robert Duvall.

DUNCANTHETHOT: falling down he was Tom that was

GoldenSiracha: And I went, wait, was he was he the star?

DUNCANTHETHOT: He was a consigliere, okay?

GoldenSiracha: don't know. It's just, dude, he's not the first or second guy I think of when I think of Godfather.

DUNCANTHETHOT: He told the guy he was going to get a horse in his bed and he told another guy he's Slycerous.

GoldenSiracha: i just

Steve-O: He's definitely like the third or fourth.

GoldenSiracha: But you can't say the star of the Godfather. You just can't do it.

Steve-O: or You could say Star of Godfather. You can't say The Star of Godfather.

GoldenSiracha: One of the guys. Yeah. And listen. some Outside that, Robert Duvall. Outside of that, a little hiccup of offending me. Robert Duvall.

DUNCANTHETHOT: King of an actor.

GoldenSiracha: Banger. Yeah, yeah.

DUNCANTHETHOT: King of an actor.

GoldenSiracha: That's a good bangers. Interesting. Interesting. Kind of more interesting than really anything of substance here, but they're making a Venom animated movie by the guys behind Final Destination Bloodlines, which was awesome.

DUNCANTHETHOT: And this is going to be called Venom Denim, from what I've been hearing.

GoldenSiracha: Venom Danim.

Steve-O: Dude, the denim venom.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

DUNCANTHETHOT: So, he's going be wearing a lot of jeans.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

Steve-O: That should be fun.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

Steve-O: This sounds like it's a fun project.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah, like could could be something, could be nothing. Who knows? I mean, animated Sony has actually put out. They have a pretty good track record over last few years.

Steve-O: Yeah.

GoldenSiracha: So I'm not not upset by it. But this thing I need a pulse check for. I don't know. i I think we're all going to be in agreement here. But I watched Toy Story 5 trailer and I felt nothing.

GoldenSiracha: went, okay.

DUNCANTHETHOT: I feel nothing.

HANGINHAWGS: I felt it looks fun for, you know, for what it is, which is going to be a kid's story.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

DUNCANTHETHOT: He's got a bald spot. Woody's got a bald spot.

HANGINHAWGS: Yeah.

GoldenSiracha: I will say that I like the bald spot. i went That's cute.

HANGINHAWGS: Glad the whole gang's there and they kind of addressed, because I was afraid that they would just delete what happened in the last movie and just what he was going to be there. So there, I had a little feelings from that, just,

HANGINHAWGS: Because, you know, it's Woody and Buzz reuniting again, I guess, is is a thing.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Well, John, you you're you' you're locked in on this one. You're you're gonna see this

HANGINHAWGS: Oh, yeah, dude, are you fucking kidding? Dude, I get reminded every fucking day. Like, can we watch Toy Story 5? And I'm like, it's not out for like four months, bro.

GoldenSiracha: ah

HANGINHAWGS: Like, how do you like, how do you like, yeah, how does a child, how do you express to a child so that they understand that they have to wait until movie comes out?

DUNCANTHETHOT: going to see this.

Steve-O: Yeah.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Yeah. You have no choice in the matter.

GoldenSiracha: No, you have to go to school for the next three months before you're allowed to see it.

HANGINHAWGS: No, but you no you don't... Yeah, you don't understand. Like, fucking... He's been locked in. i should take pictures. He has... This is actually... You guys are gonna think this is cute. So we've been slowly getting him each Toy Story character toy.

HANGINHAWGS: So he has almost everybody. And his uncle, for his birthday, got him... you remember You know, Ducky and Bunny. You love Ducky and Bunny because Key and Peele, right?

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

HANGINHAWGS: So he got a bunny. But he doesn't have Ducky yet. he doesn't... hed like fucking dug through all his shit which is just a pile of old toys in his um his big ikea drawer that we got he dug out this tiny mr potato head that was dressed up as ducky so he lines that one up next to bunny to be to be bunny i guess until we get to we get a fresh one dude he's so like attached to the toys like it's

GoldenSiracha: That's cute.

HANGINHAWGS: Disney, i guess I guess they're aware that they just have fucking an ATM.

GoldenSiracha: yeah Yeah, they might have some sort of idea.

HANGINHAWGS: Like, an eternal ATM where, like...

GoldenSiracha: you know

HANGINHAWGS: And that that's where i that's kind of how I feel about it. Like, yeah, like we don't... Our end of that story was Toy Story 3, right?

Steve-O: Yes.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Yeah.

Steve-O: Yeah.

HANGINHAWGS: Because of Andy and saying goodbye and everything and, you know, masterfully done, with whatever. But, you know, there's, like, new generations of kids... like all the time and they all just end up loving toy story.

HANGINHAWGS: So it's like, I kind of feel like they, they kind of just, I'm not going to like expect a masterpiece, like the first three movies in these, but like, you know, you kind of just take it like it's like toy story is, has earned its place as like an evergreen staple in, in culture and society now that it's like Mickey Mouse, Spider-Man, Superman tier now, or Batman tier, you know, like,

GoldenSiracha: Yeah. Yeah.

HANGINHAWGS: There's just like, we're we're always going to have new movies come out for these just because they shouldn't, they shouldn't, you know, there's no reason for them to stop, but I'm okay with that.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Yep. It's never going to end.

GoldenSiracha: yeah

HANGINHAWGS: You know, it's the, the problem is like, Oh, up to like, we don't need up to like, nobody wants up to, you know, nobody wants finding Nemo five.

HANGINHAWGS: Like we don't need, we don't need five finding Nemo's like those as good as those movies are. Like they're not like, they don't have the cultural impact that, that Toy Story has on society.

GoldenSiracha: So you're saying Toy Story is the only one they're allowed to like just.

HANGINHAWGS: So it's... I mean, yeah, I mean, that's the only one that's kind of like, like, you know, like, financially earned its place, I guess is the right way to put it.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Tuck its claws deep into children everywhere.

HANGINHAWGS: Yeah, and it's almost, it feels like they're trying to find another Toy Story with whatever's in their bin, you know, with Pixar.

GoldenSiracha: Yeah.

Steve-O: How do you feel about cars, though?

HANGINHAWGS: Well...

Steve-O: What about cars?

DUNCANTHETHOT: like like Much like Owen. Trying to find Bunny.

HANGINHAWGS: Well, Carson, yo, yeah, trying to find, yeah, trying to find, trying to make, make do with what he's got.

DUNCANTHETHOT: They're digging through that bin.

HANGINHAWGS: Digging through their Ikea bin and putting a, putting a fucking bunny costume on a tiny Mr.

DUNCANTHETHOT: They're digging through the bin.

Steve-O: Mm-hmm.

HANGINHAWGS: Potato Head to make it seem like it's part of the team when that's not the actual one yet, you know? And it's like, it's cute, right? It's cute to come out with, like, Finding Dory was good, right?

HANGINHAWGS: Like, because there's,

DUNCANTHETHOT: it's just a but It's just a Mr. Potato Head in a bunny costume.

HANGINHAWGS: Yeah, yeah that's how you can that's how you can describe it, though.

Steve-O: Yeah.

HANGINHAWGS: It's not real. Dude, he even started fucking writing his name on their feed, too. It's like, it's...

Steve-O: Oh, that's

HANGINHAWGS: Crushes me, crushes me, dude!

DUNCANTHETHOT: God, I'm so good.

HANGINHAWGS: Because now, no, and it's like... and then like when min when Sam and I are like trying to you know clean and like get rid of shit that's like so like you know his fucking mystery box bullshit or Happy Meal toys that are just actual trash, he doesn't want to throw anything in house.

GoldenSiracha: yeah

HANGINHAWGS: And it's not because he... i mean, he is a hoarder, right? But it's not the it's because like watching the Toy Story movies, it's instilled in him. Like, oh, they're not it's not trash. that like that's You can't throw that out.

DUNCANTHETHOT: yeah

HANGINHAWGS: It's a toy.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Oh, wow.

HANGINHAWGS: And it's alive.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Devious.

HANGINHAWGS: And it means something. Yeah, and then you can't you can't argue with that. It's like, you know? It's like trying to argue with a Christian that thinks so Jesus was real and shit.

DUNCANTHETHOT: Yeah, dude.

HANGINHAWGS: You know like you you really can't.

DUNCANTHETHOT: 100%. You ain't wrong.

HANGINHAWGS: You're just like, all right, dude. All right, man.

DUNCANTHETHOT: That's some truth.

HANGINHAWGS: We'll just, we'll put it in this target bag for later. And then, and then the target bag gets thrown out when he forgets about it, you know, that kind of thing.

GoldenSiracha: yeah

HANGINHAWGS: But the toy story toys, like he's, he, he basically has a fucking excel Excel spreadsheet, like inventory of everything.

DUNCANTHETHOT: going to live on.

HANGINHAWGS: And if one thing's missing, like he knows right away, it's fucking annoying.
