Introduction and Episode Overview
00:00:01
Speaker
On another exciting episode of the Ambition Deliberation podcast, Nana Mae, Nana Mae, Nana Mae is stepping into action as we continue our coverage of the Shibuya Arc. We are talking season two, episode 10, Pandemonium, right after these ads. We have no control over.
00:00:17
Speaker
sing along if you know the words. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear Andrew. Happy birthday to you. Well, thank you so much and welcome back everyone. We are just going to skip right into it with that because you all knew the words to that one whether you expected them or not.
Meet the Hosts
00:00:43
Speaker
Without surprise, I am Andrew Rogers. And I'm Zuhar Ali. And we are continuing our coverage of Jujutsu Guys and very nice of Andrew to be here and set about a birthday dinner. We can all celebrate with you. How much fun is that? It's so fun.
00:00:59
Speaker
I have to laugh because we talked at the top of the episode, you didn't have a clever, quirky thing to intro the episode. So I'm like, perfect. No surprises this week. Yeah, I was like, no surprises this week. I hope you come up with none of me. And then you do that. We were having fun here. That is
00:01:18
Speaker
Fantastic, fantastic. Never a dull moment on the show, as you guys can see. We're always down to celebrate, we're always down to laugh, and we're always down to talk to you guys. So we've always been asking for feedback, emails, DMs, whichever. Just send a happy birthday thing for Andrew now. Make the time for that. And make him even happier by throwing us a five-star view.
00:01:40
Speaker
Oh, that would be the ultimate birthday gift. I could not be happier than something such as a five-star rating interview. But that's, you know, I don't want to be too greedy. So that's all that we can ask for.
Episode Foundation and Content Discussion
00:01:52
Speaker
But, you know, a good gift is the fact that we get another episode of Jujutsu Kaisen coming out this week.
00:01:59
Speaker
And I feel like I had a lot of fun with this episode. It wasn't as over the top as the previous ones, but I was still just like, shows moving along. We're kind of in that mid season. I'm ready for it every week. Yeah, weirdly. This was an episode that had a lot of explanations that made sense.
00:02:16
Speaker
Like, this was a great foundation-setting episode. I remember when I was listening to the Marvel Cinematic Universe podcast, which was A Stranded Panda show, be sure to check out StrandedPanda.com, when they were doing Punisher season two.
Episode Structure vs. Binge-worthy Shows
00:02:32
Speaker
And with that show all dropping at once, it was easy to binge, right? You didn't have to wait on a weekly basis. And what they noted for that format
00:02:42
Speaker
was that because you could binge it one episode was very foundation building heavy and then the next one would be action heavy and it would kind of like alternate and it was it was something that's like it was one of those things was like i heard that for the first time then it just kind of like struck with me and i kind of pay attention to it and it seems to be a little bit of what's happening in this show which kind of makes me wish that these episodes were just an hour long like i get it wraps up quicker but
00:03:10
Speaker
With the way that these episodes are going, I feel like they try to throw action into one and then cram in explanations that don't make sense, which I've made very clear my frustrations on those. But they set it up really nicely on this one, which...
00:03:24
Speaker
For now, Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 standards gives me high expectations. Not general high expectations anymore, just for the standard of the season. Fair. It gives me, you know, good hopes for what the action is going to be like next episode because we see them like what they're moving into and what they're working towards and what they're having to
Storyline Clarity and Pacing
00:03:43
Speaker
deal with. So I was happy with this episode from an informative standpoint. Yes, and I think that's a good way to do it.
00:03:54
Speaker
is don't try and cram too much into each. But I see the credence too. Well, if it was an hour, we could do both as opposed to having to pick one or the other. But at the very least, it wasn't confusing or too confusing. I mean, there's the usual confusions, but I feel like our knowledge level has just slowly gone up with this show. Yep. And with that, you ready to get into these synapses?
00:04:21
Speaker
You know, I am ready for the synopsis, but I am feeling a little parched before we get into that
Product Promotion: Liquid IV
00:04:26
Speaker
synopsis. So I think I'm just going to reach over and take a good sip here. And that is delightful and delicious. And if you are wondering, listener, you know, how do we keep ourselves hydrated on this show anytime that we are doing it? Well, we use one of our lovely partners, Liquid Ivy.
00:04:45
Speaker
Yes, and one stick of liquid IV and 16 ounces of water hydrates you two times faster and more efficiently than water alone. The result of an extensive R&D process to perfect the flavor and efficacy, liquid IV combines science-backed zero-sugar technology with the brand's commitment to delicious, real flavor.
00:05:00
Speaker
No artificial sweeteners in zero sugar with the proprietary amino acid alulose blend for a sweet taste without the calories or raised blood glucose levels you get from sugar contains eight vitamins and nutrients for everyday wellness with three times the electrolytes of leading source drinks. And let me just emphasize as I am sitting here taking a sip of my drink that the no artificial sweeteners in the zero sugar
00:05:24
Speaker
It really does help sometimes the way that they don't have the artificial sweeteners in there because I recently did, you know, I didn't have any liquid IV on me. A friend offered a similar sports drink style of thing. I'm not trying to bash on these other drinks, but I'm just trying to say.
00:05:40
Speaker
I was amazed at how sweet it tasted like knowing it's still water but it was still very sweet was kind of surprising that you get in this place with liquid ivy once you get it diluted enough that you're just so used to the flavor that comparing it to others it can be weird so liquid ivy does a fantastic job with both the taste the quality and making it both good for you and good for the world
00:06:03
Speaker
They are non GMO and free from gluten, dairy and soy. And liquid IV believes that bringing equitable access to clean and abundant water is the foundation of a healthier world.

00:06:32
Speaker
We do this every week. But you like picked up your bottle and you were taking another swig. So I was like, Oh, I guess I'll read this part. You always read that part. That's why I picked up my bottle. And then you didn't move. So you could tell I'm really in need of my liquid IV. It's warm. It's refreshing. I needed a sip. So I'm just gonna let you here tell you, you know, where can you get a sip?
00:06:52
Speaker
Yeah, us East Coast people have to wait until nine o'clock to start these recordings and between work and then editing and then making dinner and then doing the 323 with Reed Murphy and then coming on this.

Without further ado, Shibuya Incident Pandemonium.
00:07:41
Speaker
As he is about to be sealed away, Gojo addresses the real Geto, causing Geto's hand to start choking out his body, which surprises and amuses pseudo-Geto. The prison realm is then closed, trapping Gojo. Elsewhere, Makamaru reveals to Yuji and Mei-mei what just happened, including that he has created a couple of puppets as failsafes in case he died and Gojo will see.
00:08:04
Speaker
Mei-mei and Wee-wee stay behind to deal with several special-grade cursed spirits in the subway, while Yu-ji runs to the surface to inform the other sorcerers of Goja's predicament.
Pandemonium Episode Synopsis
00:08:16
Speaker
The other teams are sent further into the Vale, while Yu-ji-ji is attacked by cursed user Harta.
00:08:28
Speaker
I apologize if I'm mispronouncing that name there. Yuji yells from the top of the buildings to Nanami about Gojo's ceiling, which is heard by the other teams. Meanwhile, the prison realm suddenly drops onto the ground due to Gojo's interference within, forcing them to have to wait until it stabilizes. Sudogetto's group also discover Mecha-Mari's spying puppets. The curses then get in an argument over Yuji's fate, while Chozo and Mahito wanting to kill him, while Jogo wants to resurrect Suku.
00:08:57
Speaker
Mahito proposes they all have a race to see who can find him first. After they leave, Hasaba sisters confront Sudo Ghetto about giving Ghetto's body back, but he dismisses them. Nanami, Megumi, and Ino reconvene with Yuji as they proceed to split up and deal with the remaining veils within Shibuya.
00:09:18
Speaker
I do have to say when I was talking about the explanations, I love how there's just this ongoing thing of like the nature of souls and because there's been so much dialogue between pseudo ghetto and
00:09:34
Speaker
patch face Mahito about like the composition of souls and how they're used and how his power works. But then first off seeing the affection that Gato still has for Gojo to the fact that when he told them to do something like his body actually reacted. And when pseudo Gato started to smile, I thought it was like, hi, you think you have power over me this and that I didn't realize he was just nerding out to the fact that they came to this realization that
00:10:03
Speaker
The body is actually infused with the soul and then Mahito comes in like, no, it's supposed to be like this. And it's like, what if it's different compared to how our powers work? And I was like, I like that. That's just an option that they established right from the get go. And they aren't setting these rules on the composition of a soul that we have to stand by for the rest of the duration of this.
00:10:22
Speaker
that dialogue and conversation just how all of that went about was really fascinating.
Character Dynamics and Development
00:10:28
Speaker
It was really funny when Gojo like went into the seal and then it just like dropped to the ground. It's like, what the hell is he doing in there? Lord knows he's not just sitting stealth around it. I mean, I just loved his casual little like flicking his headband over his eyes like, we'll figure this out. I'm not too worried. Like,
00:10:47
Speaker
as he's being the most powerful being that cannot be trapped within this. It's just everyone else is freaking out. It's such a cocky moment for him to be like, somebody will figure it out. Maybe it'll be me. Maybe it won't. But yeah, leave it to Anna. You know, even, you know, was like, Oh, yeah, so the huge power drop.
00:11:06
Speaker
we might be balanced, they might have the upper hand right now, but this could be an end of clan and losing one of the most powerful assets this world's ever seen. No worries, humanity is going to stop existing in Japan after tonight. I was waiting so hard for the punchline of like,
00:11:25
Speaker
Yuji or someone interrupting him being like, we know this. Why are you telling us this again? Just to have because you could tell that was an audience exposition moment. That was another one of those. Okay, we really gotta wrap this up in a grand format. But I really wanted another thing of them being like, dude, what are you doing? I know he left you in charge. But why are you going like full Deku here and over explaining like I gotta gotta make him proud. I gotta make this happen.
00:11:51
Speaker
You saw it a little bit when Nanami and Megumi were talking too, because he was just like making the expressions and stuff in the background of like, Ah, yes, I too was going to say that I was also thinking this I am definitely keeping up with this conversation. I don't need ketchup. Yeah, it's one of those like, I obviously explained but you know, maybe explain it for them over there kind of moments.
00:12:15
Speaker
I love it. We haven't seen too much of this guy yet, but it's going to be interesting seeing him in action and what his commentary is along with it. I will say he, he left me feeling really weird with like the end of this episode. It was such like a hopeful, powerful team up moment, despite it being like, Oh, no, we could all die.
00:12:37
Speaker
Like, that flash frame of like, and we're gonna get all the sorcerers and we're gonna do everything before he gets back. Yay! Like, it just was a very conflict of interest with the rest of the episode.
Ending Tone and Team Dynamics
00:12:51
Speaker
You know, there were a couple comedic moments, but for the most part it was very still dark doom and gloom as the show is one to do. So that was my only thing, it breached itself a little bit too hard in my opinion at the end.
00:13:04
Speaker
Yeah, I'm kind of playing ignorance on that, because it is like, a little bit of younger people and a younger, a little bit of them not understanding the full scale of the situation. Because you see Nanami panicking a little bit, you see that, you know, like understands the situation, but you question how much he's seen and done outside of the, out of the, what was the incident called? The thousand, the night of a thousand demons or whatever? Yes.
00:13:35
Speaker
So outside of that, I think it is a little bit of just ignorance to the situation, because a lot of these younger guys just haven't dealt with anything like this. Like even need to Dory like running into the veil and then like them slowing down to see the shock on his face when he realized it was like how many people had been transfigured that he had to take out like right on the spot. I think there is a lot of like, we've seen a lot, but this is on another level that we haven't quite processed.
00:14:04
Speaker
Okay, I think that's fair, and I think it's just a reminder, because they did a good job of reminding, but then swept it back under the rug, that all of the possible sorcerers and curses and anything else evil is going to come out of the woodwork now that Kojo is not in the picture. And I think that's going to play a huge part in, we know what we should be afraid of in Mahito and Jogo and Chozo, but
00:14:32
Speaker
the others that could just randomly start appearing.
Speculation on Mecha Maru's Future
00:14:35
Speaker
We have no idea what they're capable of, kind of like that post-credits scene. I think it's just a taste of, hey, there's more going on here. Yeah, the making a game out of it has been very entertaining, too, where it's like, we want Sukuna, we do not want him at all. And then Tsunogetto was like, he was just my failsafe, you'll do whatever the hell you want.
00:14:55
Speaker
That was a classic Mahito moment where I was like, God, I hate this guy, but I love him so much. Him turning it into a game. So good. So casual and classic. And then the runoff of like, time to go. I'll beat you there. So fun. Good stuff. Like I said, this was a very explanation heavy. I'm very sad to see the confirmation that Mecha Maru was dead.
00:15:25
Speaker
Yeah, this is like first energy or something that's powered this, but he just straight up says like, I died two weeks ago, and I don't have too much time to be able to keep doing this. So we need to get to work right now. It's like, no, no, I don't like that. I don't like that at all. Yeah, I'm hoping that it's a anime subversion of expectations. That's another subversion of expectations. Like,
00:15:51
Speaker
the character itself may have died, but we're going to see Mecha Maru come back in like an AI form, perhaps, because we didn't get that boot up screen at the start of the episode. So I'm like, maybe there's gonna be a like, first AI or you're right, this is it. Like, I don't want to believe it. I agree. I wouldn't want that by now.
00:16:12
Speaker
But maybe it's something like that exists only within that singular puppet. Like he gave that that one puppet that's still at the Kyoto High. Like they are waiting to turn back on because he did mention that these puppets, the couple that he made only would turn on in the event that Gojo was sealed. So perhaps there's another condition that has to be met before that next subroutine can kick in. Hmm.
00:16:41
Speaker
I'm just holding out hope. That's really all that it is because I agree. How far would that go and for what point? Like, except for like maybe him like confessing feelings to Mua as a will. And I think that he only sacrificed himself for this mission. So it's like, what else would he be needing a puppet to do like a quick task for him for? But maybe it's just wanting to give life to the puppet, like set them free, kind of thing.
00:17:12
Speaker
If it was an ongoing AI thing, yeah, but like, I feel like he would have done that. I think like the puppet is at the mercy of the cursed energy he was able to put into it. Which might have a very finite time limit, unless they're able to do something with that, but I don't know. In general, I do think you're correct. This is just me entirely trying to cope and not believe that it's going to be the case. That's all it is. I like him. Like, how do you make him so badass and have this great fight scene and then just be like,
00:17:42
Speaker
Oh yeah, just having that like single little flashback to the Mecha Maru 1 fight scene. I was like, oh man, that was such a badass moment. Why was this how you had to go out? They like to remind us of how good of a job they did. Yeah, this makes stuff like that really makes me wonder like what the duration of the whole story of this anime is going to be. I mean, we don't know the end game. I think that's the biggest like,
00:18:11
Speaker
This could be the endgame. I have no idea. Yeah, that glimmer and spark of hope, especially knowing that the Hasaba twins are
Hasaba Twins and Plot Implications
00:18:25
Speaker
Sisters, twins, the two of them, the fact that they're still in the picture and they wanted something to do with Get To His Body feels like maybe they're going to become a force to be reckoned with. Can we possibly bring him back? Can something about that change? But also, as we saw in the first five episodes of the season, do we really want him back?
00:18:47
Speaker
He was a cool character, but it seems like a lot went down between those first five episodes and then Jujutsu guys in Zero, and he's kind of a bad guy. I don't know. Maybe there's a redemption in store for him. Yeah, we didn't ask ourselves that quite. We were so busy asking if we could. We forgot to stop and ask if we should. Maybe it's like getting him back to fight Tsukada. Maybe something goes wrong there.
00:19:13
Speaker
Well, again, that's the big endgame question. Like, is Sukuna even the endgame? Like, when the show started, the simple answer was yes. But we only got a tiny glimpse of swimming Sukuna in this season, or in this episode, I should say. Yeah. And not even like a look out in their face or anything. So I'm so curious. It's also going to be so tough if Sukuna is the endgame, because then that means we have to fight and possibly kill Yuji, like,
00:19:44
Speaker
His death feels like the end. Yeah, but the minute you take the demon out, you can only rip a heart out once at that point, if they are not invincible. Yeah.
00:20:05
Speaker
I also want more answers about Sudogetto. I was hoping that it would be like, okay, here's the big reveal. Now let's give you all of the answers. What does brain curse spirit user?
Non-linear Storytelling Impact
00:20:15
Speaker
Stick with this a little bit. Give us a flashback later. I'm tired of flashbacks right now. That's true. I will say I knew you were going to, or I was wondering if you were going to say anything about it. They did the tiniest bit of nonlinear storytelling in this episode because I will.
00:20:33
Speaker
Well, I will pull up my handy dandy timeline here because I was making sure I took notes and technically there was an overlap because it was the start of the episode, like things were happening. And then it was 21, 26 was when the prison realm fell to the ground because Gojo
00:20:56
Speaker
was too powerful. And the way they explained that also was like a computer. That was really weird. It's like, oh, it needs to process this data. I was like, what is it got an Intel core processor in there? Why isn't it just like, it's magic, it should immediately understand what's happening. But that's beside it. But he has like the knowledge of the void of the universe. Like he had to cut his Yeah, but why? But you're a trap, you should just be able to trap them in there. I don't understand why the person's knowledge is going to be because the trap is still a curse. A weird explanation.
00:21:26
Speaker
But if that makes sense to me, I'm not. I don't know. It it it felt hand wavy that they were like, oh, yeah, he's got to do this thing. So that's why we can't move it yet. Like, yeah, they the fact that it didn't happen immediately, like had it pokeballed and landed on the ground and we're like, OK, we got to wait for it to shake three times before we could pick it up.
00:21:50
Speaker
I would have been okay, but it was the fact they moved around with it a bunch, and then it fell to the ground, that it was like, okay, now we just need a reason to keep them in this tunnel, is what this is. Space for dialogue. And Space to make us think that he actually is just wrapped up for a while, where it's like, no, he's still a big go-to. Yeah, it's the most minute of things, but from a storytelling perspective, it feels McGuffin-esque.
00:22:18
Speaker
especially if it ends up being, oh, they never get to move it from the ground. So that's where the fight happens. And then we win like, regardless, I was saying he was trapped at
00:22:33
Speaker
2126, and then we jumped back four minutes to 2122. That was when all three of the external teams entered the veil. And then we jumped forward again to 2127, which is when Itadori got the info from Mecha Maru that Gojo cannot be moved. So it was like, for some reason, they did that slightly out of order, but it wasn't enough that it actually impacts the story. Yeah.
00:23:02
Speaker
I don't even notice it, so I guess it's fine. I mean, I only noticed it because I have been keeping track of the times and I was like, ooh, they jumped back. What's the reason going to be like? Are the teams going to enter the veil and then something that happened last episode suddenly matters? It was like, no, no, they just wanted to let us know they entered the veil a couple minutes before Itadori started shouting. Yeah, that's interesting. I guess for the sake of that,
00:23:32
Speaker
for the sake of the cliffhanger for last week episodes in Mecha Maru's appearance, which I love how they made the opener of this one funnier than they made the cliffhanger of last week because he like takes it off and just eats it into the crowd. And that was a logical thing. Like he is, A, scared of everything in this moment, and B, Mecha Maru is technically a traitor. Like they don't know all the stuff that he did to redeem them. He just said, I died. And now they have to be like, well, we gotta listen to him. Do they know he was a traitor?
00:23:59
Speaker
Remember at the start of the Shibuya arc, they were like, someone's been leaking information, the only one that we've been able to narrow it down to via process of elimination is Mecha Maru. They went to find him. They were the ones who broke, yeah. And they broke in and then they found that he wasn't there. So presumably- I forgot that Yuju was part of that, but yeah, that makes sense.
00:24:18
Speaker
Yeah, so at that point, they honestly probably still think he's a trader. So the fact that they trusted him at all is interesting. But I think he was very succinct in the like, shut up, I don't have time. Listen to me. This is all that can happen. And he was like, maybe I noticed that you've been using your crows and I couldn't trust you because of this and X, Y and Z and the dialogue about the bank account was really funny because she hasn't mentioned anything about money.
Upcoming Anime Releases
00:24:45
Speaker
this whole arc yet. I'm just kind of like, this has been interesting. It was very out of character for her to be wanting to do this extra work for no pay. She was so about that. Yeah, your bank accounts still open and I could basically made the on your gong face. Just like, huh? Which probably comes out in like two weeks. Yeah, I don't know what we're gonna do for handling both of those, but it's going to be
00:25:09
Speaker
It's going to be real nice to get back into the I have one show that's an upper and one show that's a downer kind of thing. Yeah. Like have that strike that balance again will be very fun. Yeah, that'll be my downer for bleach. Or my upper. I was about to say I bleaches the downer. You could look at it either way, I suppose, because I was thinking one raising the heart rate and one nine. Well, I was about to say in terms of the medical, like
00:25:37
Speaker
talking upper usually raises heart rate down or lowers and relaxes so I guess but I was thinking emotionally like yeah this brings me down spy is gonna bring me up and I'm gonna be all happy yeah because this is Thursday but bleach and spy family will both be coming out I'm assuming it's Saturdays but what was it Saturdays or Sundays previously means I cannot remember
00:26:01
Speaker
last season it was saturday it's because i remember that being my what was it now i'm can't remember i don't know well it's one of those i feel like i watched it it'll be closer to bleach than it'll be to jiu-jitsu kaizen fair enough very much a fair statement it is starting on i hit roroni tension on fridays nice starts on october the seventh which is saturday this article does not tell me what time zone that is
00:26:30
Speaker
is that could possibly be a difference, but we don't have an official word on how many episodes it is yet. That's unfortunate. Right. Cause he used to come out with my hero before. So it used to be my upper for that. It was my hero. And then there was also a period that it came out with attack on Titan, didn't it? And that was really the difference. Oh,
00:26:59
Speaker
There was just a point where all this shit was coming out like day after day after day. It was a lot. Yeah. And I mean, isn't that also that's only a month away as Attack on Titan. So. It's November, right? I think I believe it is the third of November, fourth of November, something along those lines. Put it in theaters and wrap it up. Don't be carrots.
00:27:22
Speaker
If it's not actually the end, I think there's going to be a riot. Like, I legitimately think it's going to be Game of Thrones level of we are done with the show if it does not end. I will lead it. I don't know. Part four and a half. The final season, the final part. The final movie, like.
00:27:49
Speaker
I'm excited nonetheless, just like I'm excited for this show to continue onward because we have totally gotten off track. But again, it was an exposition heavy episode. We've highlighted the points. We don't want to bore you with more exposition than how deep that synopsis already went, because that was a lot for me to read. How many episodes, 13 episodes left? 16. Was this not, don't we have 26 episodes in the season? Oh, I thought it was 23. I have no idea.
00:28:18
Speaker
Wait, 18 plus five, 23. Yeah, I thought it was 23. I don't know. It's a valid question. It is 23 episodes. You are... caught me so far off guard. Sorry for your ears there, because I'm sure one of you was driving a car and just got very surprised by what happened. And I apologize, but yes, 23 episodes.
00:28:47
Speaker
Yes, we still have a lot of story left to tell. I don't know what that is. I'm curious when the break is going to come in. What do you mean break? Because it's too close to the holiday season. There's going to be a break. No, I thought they said the week or two break was between the first five episodes and the last 18 episodes. I just feel like it's going to be another break. Well, if they were going to do it, it's going to be soon, I feel like. Yeah, holiday season.
00:29:18
Speaker
Like after Thanksgiving? Maybe? I don't know. I don't know enough about Japanese holidays, but I know that there's more stuff around the end of the year as well. Well, don't they often call... So I just want to make sure I'm reading this correctly. Is it called a curve that they like...
00:29:37
Speaker
the groupings of episodes, right? Because I'm reading an article here that Jujutsu Kai is in season two is 23 episodes long with official confirmation that the story will be told over two consecutive curves. So if it's occurred, then I would feel like that was the first one and then the second one is happening now. So I don't know if we're actually going to get another break. I mean, I'm not complaining. That's good.
00:30:06
Speaker
I mean, they can only string us on for so long. 23 is still a very, that's half of a year to be watching this show, so I'm okay with it. Wrapping itself up, not quickly, but efficiently. Speaking of wrapping up, do you have anything else about this episode? No, I have nothing else about this episode. And I also have nothing else that I'm necessarily appearing on or want to talk about at this time, but what about you?
00:30:33
Speaker
Uh, so just finished another weekly installment of three, two, three, three Murphy. Uh, as usual, check out friends of the show, Peeves gap fest with their Harry Potter podcast, anything on Strandepanda.com. Um, we have one episode of the Soka left. Meaning we're going to pull our loophole card to have Haley Hobbs back over here and talk about our impressions of that show.
00:31:03
Speaker
and talk about it as Rebel season five and all the connections, what we loved about it, because good Lord has it been fantastic.
00:31:11
Speaker
We might talk about football soon. Yeah. So I feel like something we should talk about on this show in case people don't know about it because I really want to do an episode just for fun.
Toy Story-themed NFL Game Discussion
00:31:23
Speaker
But basically, is it this weekend, this weekend? I believe it is this weekend. The Jaguars in London and at nine thirty a.m. on ESPN Plus or Disney Plus, they are doing a
00:31:37
Speaker
live animation of the game as Toy Story toys characters like it's basically in Toy Story animation like the commercials I've been promoting it is like the game is happening on Andy's floor. This is an effort to try to get kids more into football. I'm very intrigued by it. I don't know which coverage I will be watching because I guess it's
00:32:03
Speaker
its efficiency will be the deterring factor for that. But I am very curious and I think I'm gonna wanna talk about it. We'll see if we can get the three, two, three people on here to chat about that.
00:32:14
Speaker
Yes, I am so sure there's gonna be so many things because there's like mention in some of these articles that were possibly having the appearance of Toy Story characters, including Buzz Woody and others, as well as like they have childlike announcers or
00:32:35
Speaker
play callers, I don't even know how to fully describe what these articles are. Oh my god, if Mr. Potato Head and Rex could be announcers, that would be amazing. Oh my gosh, that would actually be... That Bo Peep is a sideline reporter. I think Bo Peep actually is listed as, let me take a look. Yeah, one of the characters mentioned as a possible appearance is Bo Peep as well. There... Oh, I see Toy Story Heineke so bad.
00:33:04
Speaker
Yeah, I'm, I think that's the biggest like question that we're going to want to wrap up about is how do they make these characters look because they seem very bland, plain, like it, I don't know, are they going to make them actually look like the people they are associated with or not? We don't know, because it's apparently in real time. So yeah, that's
00:33:31
Speaker
It's so many questions that I feel like we might need to actually have a wrap up of like, here's what it looks like. Here's how it's going to go. And I mean, like, yeah, are we going to get a Toy Story Trevor Lawrence? Like, it's a valid question. I don't know, but I just pulled up the ad again, and it just looks so cool. It does. If you haven't at least seen pictures of it, definitely go take a look. I'm hoping they leave like a recording of it on Disney Plus, that it's not just like you have to watch it live in the moment.
00:34:01
Speaker
especially for the amount of work that is going to go into it, but regardless. Yeah, that's got to be something that you can like let the kids just kind of like, I mean, it's early in the morning. So that is like ideal kid time for a Sunday, but
00:34:18
Speaker
Wow. So I don't know if they are necessarily having the actors to come back and do the voicing, but the list of characters is mentioning as Woody, Buzz, Bo Peep, Bullseye, Bunny, Ducky, Forky, Green Aliens, Jesse, Rex, and Slinky Dog, as well as the appearance of a special halftime show with Duke Kaboom. So we're just voiced by Keanu Reeves.
00:34:48
Speaker
You know they have the money for it, so... Yeah, I am... I really don't know what to expect out of this, but that's gonna be... wild, if it's good. If it's good, it's gonna be a wild thing, and Disney doesn't usually do these things half-baked, so... Yeah, so be sure to check out all that animated content and let us know what you think of it. Be sure to tune in next time. That's T00 and I, and as always, stay well.
00:35:17
Speaker
Thanks again for wishing me a happy birthday everybody, muscle muscle.
