Introduction to the Podcast
00:00:29
Speaker
Keep blurring. Where we talk about it all. From superheroes to wrestlers, we stand tall. Ray and Kevin, the dynamic duo inside.
00:00:40
Speaker
Keep blurring.
00:01:24
Speaker
Hey, what's happening? How about you? ah Doing good. Going jump right into the show.
Book and TV Show Discussions
00:01:31
Speaker
Beginning in the month, we have a show and tell.
00:01:37
Speaker
So many geeky things that we could pull off from the show.
00:01:43
Speaker
We've been collecting shit for years now we're ripping it out. So it's time to showcase all the money that we wasted well.
00:01:55
Speaker
C'est la vie, say the old folks, this geek book show went down. I'll start. um I haven't even taken the shrink wrap off of this yet.
00:02:08
Speaker
It is a new book I heard about a couple months ago. called Red Coat. All about, i think it's done by Geoff Johns, all about a Red Coat officer from the Revolutionary War that goes through time. He's like immortal.
00:02:25
Speaker
And it tells his story going through time, dealing with Nazis, dealing with the Civil War. um i haven't even opened it up yet. I just heard about it. And I'm going to read it. Big, huge-ass book.
00:02:36
Speaker
Nice. Yeah, looks awesome. like the art of it.
00:02:41
Speaker
I um
00:02:45
Speaker
and don't think I've shown this before, with it being out in two weeks' time, the deluxe edition of Some Girl Woman Tomorrow. That's a good one. Obviously, we both read this. I've read it multiple times. Beautiful art. This has, obviously, because the deluxe edition has a bunch of...
00:02:58
Speaker
Random extra art in it. Oh, yeah. um Can't wait for this movie in two weeks. Yep, me too. Cannot wait. Tickets went on sale. We'll talk that a little bit.
00:03:09
Speaker
Talk about what we watched this week. um This slow, drawn-out season of Euphoria, thankfully, is finally over.
00:03:20
Speaker
um And it was announced that the series is over as well. After it aired, um it was announced by the showrunner of the show, Eric, I don't remember his name, but he did he did announce that the show is done. That was a series finale, and there were some ramifications in that episode that chances are it needed to happen um because a lot of the characters are...
00:03:42
Speaker
on. don't want to get into too many spoilers. I know you're going watch this eventually. Right. I don't know what you've heard. I know there's a big one that's been going around all week. haven't heard anything. Good. We'll talk about it then. um Overall, I enjoyed this last episode a lot.
00:03:59
Speaker
um It was the best episode of the season. Coleman Domingo is a fucking acting genius. um And I cannot wait to get your reaction to this episode eventually when you see it. And this whole season... Overall, not the euphoria of the past. i keep saying that.
00:04:14
Speaker
But the storytelling on this show is still there in little glimpses, but Angus Cloud is the missing piece of this. It has been from the beginning. We said it before the show even aired that that was going to be the problem, and then it was the problem.
00:04:28
Speaker
um A couple of cameos throughout the season with Angus related things going on, including something that happened in the final episode, which I really cannot wait to talk to you about, but...
00:04:40
Speaker
Overall, rest in peace, Euphoria, gone, canceled, or finished. All these people on this show are all superstars now, so understandable they're not going to come back for another season or another spinoff or anything. Sidney Sweeney, huge. Zendaya, gigantic.
00:04:57
Speaker
Jacob Elardi, we keep put fancasting him in everything. He's going to be in everything in the next 10 years. so Great show overall. um kind of taken down by the last season, but there were little glimpses of the euphoria of the past and the characters, and I love Rue. Zendaya, one of her best roles that she's ever done. Just just the acting of her being a drug addict and everything, going through that. And the whole entire arc of this season has to do with that.
00:05:24
Speaker
Kind of a reminiscence of Angus Cloud and everything that happened with him, without getting into too much. Maybe i already did, but yeah, great great show overall.
00:05:36
Speaker
I would say, except for a couple of blemishes in the last season. um Widow's Bay. Great series on Apple TV. Two more episodes left. um I will talk about the finale in a couple weeks. This last week was more of a slasher. um Kind of a love love letter to slasher movies on the island. Yeah, great show on Apple TV. Watch that.
00:06:02
Speaker
um Caught up on Bad Thoughts. Tom Segura's new show on Netflix. Very quick watch, six episodes, about 20 minutes each. And they are very quick to get through. First episode, right in the beginning, is crazy. um He's walking down the street and killing people. It's pretty pretty epic. But this is on Netflix right now, all six episodes, and season one's on there too if you haven't watched it. You've got to like that type of comedy, sketch comedy. But yeah, it's ah it's pretty decent show.
00:06:34
Speaker
Very funny. Funny parts. um Not so funny on Netflix. Another documentary on Michael Jackson. I don't know if you had a chance. You probably haven't to see this. I really don't want to watch it. um Probably good idea not to. I'm slandering his name. i got Probably good idea. um there is a lot of There's kind of both arguments in this documentary. It's it's called The Verdict. um It's all about the 2003 verdict that happened. i didn' win I'll probably check it out, but after watching the one watched a few weeks ago, I was like, i'm kind of good on watching Landerham for hours on end anymore. yeah I'm good on that. I like Michael Jackson.
00:07:11
Speaker
Yeah, this is three-episode arc, so it was a lot to watch. But, yeah, I mean, it's basically stuff we already knew. We knew how he got off on this trial. The evidence just wasn't there.
00:07:23
Speaker
And the jurors saw that and and got him off. clean sweep with all the jurors. And all the all the people they had coming on the stand were kind of debunked. There's the woman who whose son was claiming that this happened and she had prior activity of doing fraud at like JCPenney or Sears or somewhere of injury of injury fraud trying to get money from Sears. So the the the lawyers found that out and of course brought it up and the case kind of got shot after that but um overall yeah i'm done with it too this is kind of the last of it this came out obviously because of the michael movie obviously um because it's just so much hype around michael right now because of that movie um but it's on netflix if you want to watch it three episodes um and it's all out all out right now so if you want to watch it's there
00:08:13
Speaker
um And this week we had, we don't get the E3 anymore, which is 10 years
Gaming News and Reviews
00:08:19
Speaker
ago. Yeah, it was great. yeah all the All the gaming companies came together in one great San Diego Comic Con-like event.
00:08:26
Speaker
PlayStation, Nintendo, Sega, everybody was there. Xbox, and they would announce new systems, new games. It was a great time of year. Always happens this time of year, but they got rid of it So the companies are doing their own thing and and PlayStation had their state of play this week, which are now some new games, continue some other games.
00:08:46
Speaker
But the big thing, the reveal was going to be Wolverine. And that's what we got. So we got some first new photos, new video of ah gameplay of this game, which looks awesome. A lot of people are complaining that it's not open world, but I didn't expect it to be because it's not like Spider-Man.
00:09:02
Speaker
Wolverine goes everywhere. right You can't really open world the whole world. So, but there's a lot of characters, as you can see, you get Sabretooth, you get the hand there, Wolverine looks great in all the fighting of this. We also get Mystique, we get Omega Red, we get Jean Grey, a very cool cameo in the gameplay trailer for this. and We get Patch, Wolverine, we get Wolverine, there's lots of blood and gore in this. Reminds me, what was that? It was the Xbox game for, was it Origins? Wolverine Origins that came out? Yes.
00:09:36
Speaker
That game was actually way better than the movie. Right, yeah, way better than the movie, but the action in that game was great because it was it was a slashing game where you could break you cut off limbs and do a whole bunch stuff. You do that in this one too, it's very gory. um To the point where the even part of this game it factors in his healing process. So when you're when he's being injured he's bloody, he and you can see the bones you can see through the bones of the adamantium, um you can actually in real time see him healing, and that's what these pictures are here. The one on the one on the right is him healing, which looks awesome. Having that dynamic in the game is pretty fucking cool.
00:10:12
Speaker
But if he dies and his heart starts and his healing factor can no longer activate, that's represented by his health bar and he can die in the game. um In order to maintain your health you need to be aggressive in combat so you need to just keep fighting and fighting and killing and slicing limbs off.
00:10:28
Speaker
um In this universe the X-Men don't exist. Mutants live in hiding, and most of the world don't know they exist yet. I'm guessing maybe this game could set up the X-Men coming into fruition. I don't know.
00:10:41
Speaker
um Logan is part of a team called Team X, a group who save mutants around the world. um There is a way to shut off the gore and the blood if you want to. I will not be when I play this game. And by the way, it's a day one game for us. We will be playing it.
00:10:55
Speaker
um It takes place in the same universe as the Spider-Man games on the PS5. This is PS5 exclusive. um and But they won't have any crossover with that game. And we do have pre-order bonuses for it. You get some ah reflective claws, some PlayStation avatars for the regular edition. You also get the classic brown suit. For the deluxe edition, which is exclusive to digital only for PS5, you get some other stuff. You get the the full digital get the full game. You get some other suits there, some classic suits.
00:11:27
Speaker
You get some other all the other stuff for the pre-order bonuses. and what have you. I think it's like $10 more for the pre-order for that, the deluxe. No idea about DLC or anything. didn't announce anything. if it There will be a path for DLC, but also coming around out around the same time, I think done by McFarlane. um They're coming out with this awesome 1 tenth scale statue. um They're not going to have a collector's edition of this game, but this statue is going to be done by McFarlane 1 tenth scale from the game.
00:11:55
Speaker
Looks kind of sick. McFarlane does a great job. McFarlane is up there as far as likeness now. I used say Hot Toys looked great, but McFarlane's getting up there too for a fraction of the price. But yeah, that's the big game. The other game that surprised the hell out of me, there's only two really that surprised me. I know there's a Gods of War, but I'm not into Gods of War. there's the Gods of War spinoff game.
00:12:16
Speaker
This game is called Stuntman Hollywood. This is a remake of a game that came out, I think, 20 years ago, 25 years ago. um And yeah the game allows players to perform stunt tat stunt scenes from movies um like Back to the Future, where you actually get to play and drive the DeLorean.
00:12:33
Speaker
And you get to play off scenes from the movie, including the train scene from but ah Back the Future Part 3. And there's also Fast and the Furious cars, Knight Rider, the whole Knight Rider scene in the trailer, Miami Vice, Death Race. And also, I think I saw in there, I think I saw um Mad Max as well. The Mad Max Fury Road car was in there as well. So it looks great. um We'll keep an eye on that game. I have no idea when it's coming out, but... It's coming soon. somewhere It's going to be on PS5. So that's awesome. That was it for that. that i really noticed. on
00:13:08
Speaker
Like I said, there was a Gods of War game. A spinoff game that was coming out. but Wolverine is definitely the the hype for that game. It's huge right now. so Dotted by the Makers of Spider-Man. Which we both love those games. so um I saw a movie a couple nights ago.
00:13:25
Speaker
Brand new movie. Was not really huge on it because I don't know much about the lore of this series. um I saw Masters of the Universe. We mentioned it all the time where we didn't really grow up in the the Masters of the universe at Universe as kids. We didn't have the toys. We didn't watch the show. We knew about Skeletor. We knew about He-Man. We knew about... all the universe, we know about Castle Grayskull, we know all about all that stuff, but we don't know, like, the lore and the and and and what this show it was actually, it was basically a show for, besides what we knew from, like, the toys that made us, we knew this was a show that made toys. And that's and that's basically what it was. It was a cartoon, a commercial that aired on television that kids would go to the and say, Mom, Dad, buy me the toys from this show.
00:14:12
Speaker
And that was one of the biggest starts of that that happened with action figures back in the eighty s um I wasn't part of that. It was a couple of years before us. I think if I was a couple years older, it would have been more in my demographic, but this wasn't.
00:14:25
Speaker
Seeing this movie, going in blind, I absolutely loved it. And I had no idea I was going to love it as much as I did. And the reason why I think i I love it is because I want to see it again. Usually when that happens in a movie like this, it has to be really good. It's like a four out of five, usually, or more.
00:14:45
Speaker
So yeah, it's that good. um And the reason why it's that good, is this whole concept of this is silly. It's a cartoon cartoon. Based property, it's silly, it's campy, it's weird, but the movie plays that up in a weird, like, parody kind of way.
00:15:03
Speaker
in all the right ways, making all the humor in this movie work. through It's very funny. There's a lot of very funny moments, but just playing on that silly, campy weirdness, it made the parody just work. It made the humor work.
00:15:17
Speaker
um And the character name origins, how they made that work. um It was a child's imagination. It was Adam, the main character, who was He-Man when he was a kid. um The whole origin of how he goes to Earth and comes back to Eternia. I loved that.
00:15:32
Speaker
Jared Leto's Skeletor. We were worried about that because, you know, Jared Leto, we always hear stories of him chewing scenery, of him acting weird on set. He did a fantastic job as Skeletor in this movie, considering what it is, because he played the campy perfectly, um embracing the weird, and that worked great in this movie.
00:15:50
Speaker
um Great action scenes. when When there was action, it was awesome. um The human fight scenes, the battles, everything was awesome. The way the movie starts is awesome. And there are three meaningful after-credits scenes. We always see after-credits scenes.
00:16:05
Speaker
And if some of them are just like, what the fuck is that? What is this? It's weird. There were three great ones at the end of this, and even I like jumped out and was like, holy shit, that's awesome. um Just because I knew the lore kind of of the series. There's a character that doesn't, it's not showing up in the poster there, but there's an iconic character, actually two of them, in this franchise that show up in the after credits scenes. Overall, 4 out of 5, like I mentioned. I do want to see it again because i keep thinking of all those fight scenes. I keep thinking of the main actor who played He-Man was great. All the acting was great. It's just Alba, awesome in this. yeah In the monster, there's a battle scene on Earth with Battle Beast comes to Earth, fights, tries to find He-Man and bring him back to Eternia, the power sword. That whole battle scene was awesome, how it played out in the movie.
00:16:51
Speaker
And you should definitely watch it. It's great. Surprise the hell out of me. And yeah, definitely worth watching and probably being a good theater experience for most people too. So um did you, I don't know if you, i forgot to ask you before, did you watch anything this week that you wanted to bring up? i know you've been working.
00:17:09
Speaker
i know Yeah. So with that being said, watch masters of the universe. Great movie. And we'll get into the news.
00:17:27
Speaker
And it's 97 on the trail roundup.
00:17:32
Speaker
I got a brand new trailer, full trailer for the end of Oak Street. This is a Ewan McGregor, Anne Hathaway movie. J.J. Abrams producing it. Director of It Follows, David Robert Mitchell. I don't know it Follows. I can't remember that. I don't think I've seen it.
00:17:48
Speaker
But it's basically a whole entire neighborhood gets sent back to the past where dinosaurs are roaming. And the first thing in the trailer, they realize that they have no power. they're disconnected from the the world and they realize they're not on, on where they, where they are supposed to be. So um interesting. looks interesting Yep. August 14th, it comes out. So we'll keep an eye on that.
00:18:09
Speaker
um All the hype for this doomsday trailer that was supposed to go on the beginning of the week. Warner brothers took advantage of it and they released a quick one minute trailer of coyote versus Acme with bugs, bunny eccentric, a bugs, bunny centric trailer. And they ended with Bugs Bunny will return in Coyote vs. Acme, a kind of spoof of the Avengers trailers that happened earlier in the year.
00:18:33
Speaker
um Cannot wait for that movie. It comes out in August as well. Another trailer played in front of Masters of the Universe. Looks great. We talked about it couple weeks when we heard about it. How to Rob a Bank. It has Nicholas Holt, Pete Davidson, Zoe Kravitz.
00:18:47
Speaker
um It looks great. The trail looked great on the big screen. was on September 4th. It's all about this group of influencers who do these how-to rob videos on YouTube on how to rob banks.
00:18:59
Speaker
And they're very popular and they start robbing banks. And it just looks it looks looks a lot like the movie with Leo that came out last year that won all the Oscars. But ah yeah, keep an eye on that. Comes out on September 4th. Also...
00:19:14
Speaker
Full trailer for Ice Cream Man. Eli Roth. What a sick fuck this guy is. um about a like It looks like a sadistic, Satanist ice cream man in an ice cream truck that gives ice cream to kids. And they become like ah sadistic and controlled by like evil and start killing people.

We got a whole bunch of other ones. There's another one with Supergirls with her trench coat, a cup.
00:20:57
Speaker
That's AMC exclusive. I think the other ones are regal. but yeah look at they just just Marketing and popcorn buckets are the thing now. The minute you go into movie theater, there's rows and rows and rows of them. And they're not cheap.
00:21:10
Speaker
The Castle Grayskull, I think, was $40. And the big huge sword yeah up thing was like $40 as well. and I know the Galactus was like $80 last year. so um Box office. Last week, back rooms. Opened the week opened them the up the opened up number one with million.
00:21:31
Speaker
huge for eight twenty four because they also had the number two With Obsession in the third week in a row, 26.4. Mandalorian Grogu fell to a third place with 25.
00:21:43
Speaker
Yeah, number one and number two movies for huge for them. $100 million total global box office for Obsession. I think making it the most successful movie in history, I think. I know Backrooms successful. of the most successful movies in the history of movie. Right.
00:22:01
Speaker
It's one of most successful movies ever because it was made for less than a million dollars. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that's huge. Huge for a twenty four which are known for the horror movie, the low-cheap horror movies. um it earned twenty six Obsession earned $26 million in the third weekend, a 10% increase from the week before. The movie just keeps going up and up and up.
00:22:23
Speaker
It does not happen anymore. never happens. Word of mouth has made this movie. just Everybody wants to see it. Backroom 2, early in the works, and this young writer who they hired on to do this movie,
00:22:38
Speaker
It's crazy that he was 20, 21 years old. He was a YouTuber. 20 years old. Yeah, 20 years old. He's a YouTuber. The studio hired him because I liked his work. Crazy. Yeah, crazy, crazy story. So, yeah, both movies I want to see, and I will see eventually.
00:22:55
Speaker
Um, a character actor seen in a bunch of stuff. Never watched Buffy, but we did watch Ted Lasso. Rest in peace to Anthony Head. ah He died today, actually. 72 years old. he died of pneumonia. um And, yeah, he was the, he was Rupert in Ted Lasso. He was Rebecca's husband, who owned the football club, who she was going through divorce with in the show. uh first season and second season i believe um but yeah he passed today i wanted to mention that um and the other big movie that came out this week that didn't get a chance to see i'm probably gonna wait till it comes out on digital i don't think it'll take too long because the reviews are not good um but uh scary movie came out this week and the waynes brothers coming back in and marlon wayne's doing a lot of interviews the waynes brothers all out doing interviews but especially Marlon, talking about these, talking to Kenan Ivory Wayans about rebooting In Living Color, which I talk about all the time. i loved In Living Color. It was my childhood. And they've discussed it, and they hope that, ah he hopes that Kenan's listening to all the interviews of him and people praising it because they want to do it. Let's do it is what he's saying. So...
00:23:56
Speaker
i say I say that too. With the with a world that's that's saturated with SNL, I would love to see more sketch comedy shows like In Living Color coming back. um i A little mix of new cast and old cast would be great. Cameos from old cast members would be great too. love to see Jim Carrey come back as Fire Marshal Bill 30 years, 40 years later. It'd be interesting.
00:24:19
Speaker
um So I'd love to see on that. um Amazon Acts the Stargate Revival. I remember seeing that movie. I don't remember much about it. But they had a whole series planned. They were in pre-production or pre-visualization and everything.
00:24:35
Speaker
Canned it completely. They announced it six months ago. Canned it. So no scart Stargate on Amazon. RIP to that. and um With one dies, one comes into fruition on Hulu. A comedy pilot ah based off the movie The Cable Guy.
00:24:53
Speaker
um Done by, um I think, the people that did New Girl. And Jake Johnson and Damon Wayans Jr. from New Girl are going to be the stars of it. So I do like both of them. Let's Beat Cops is movie they did about 10 years ago. They did a great job in that movie. Kind of a weird underground comedy hit. I liked it.
00:25:13
Speaker
So, yeah, we'll have to wait to see on that. And Mr. Irrelevant, starring David Cornswept, is receiving near-perfect scores and test screenings, making it so to the point that they're going to release it right in the middle of of winter blockbuster season between Dune, between Avengers, between Jumanji. It's coming out on Christmas Day. um That's how high they are on it. it also The star is David Cornswept, who's Right now, everybody loves him from Superman, so it's got the name on there. So, yeah, keep an eye on that. Mr. Irrelevant is baseball player, correct? 80s, I think, something like that. last player picked in the draft. and
00:25:51
Speaker
It's the last player picked in the NFL draft every year. NFL, yeah. I don't remember. They usually do not make the team. And I believe this guy died like three years into his career.
00:26:03
Speaker
Wow. I believe. Okay. Yeah, we'll keep an eye on it. I'm sure we'll probably watch at the end of the year. um And War Machine, movie with... ah with ah Reacher. Alan Richson. Watched it a couple months ago. I enjoyed it.
00:26:21
Speaker
um They are going to make a sequel to it. at Netflix says that the... movie itself, the first one, became a huge movie for them. One of their most watched films of all time. So they're going to obviously make a sequel. No word if Alan is coming back. Did you watch it? trison Oh, yeah, I watched it. I liked it. Did you watch it Okay. yeah I couldn't remember what we talked about on the podcast because saw it in Florida.

Um, and I believe more tickets for that went on sale this week. I don't know much about that. Um, I think more tickets went on sale. I don't know if the, I think it was just the, the IMAX tickets. I don't know. I know they went so on sale a year ago, but,
00:27:29
Speaker
um Also, Minecraft Movie Sequel. That's what it's called, the second one. Or Minecraft Movie Squared, the sequel to the first one. um We had the very first look of them behind the scenes, and Kirsten Dunst joined the cast. So that's them there.
00:27:44
Speaker
We talked about a couple of weeks ago. Brad Bird, who did The Incredibles for Disney or for Pixar, um has a new movie called the Ray Gun. um And it's a sci-fi noir kind of set like in the 30s. And so we got a very first look of that as well. A lot more action than the normal noir, he says. And that's him with a ray gun there, the main character of the movie. movie Sydney Sweeney is going star in a new movie called Hollow based on the legend of Sleepy Hollow to the point of view of Katrina in that story and she has a love triangle with with Ichabod Crane and Headless Horseman I guess who knows but yeah Sydney Sweeney and everything she again that's why she's not in Euphoria for another season after this because she's huge as well so yeah keep an eye on that And news coming out of the Snyderverse this week. Zack Snyder is going to rewrite and direct a reimagining of Escape from New York.
00:28:48
Speaker
Dystopian, cult classic, came out in the 80s. Kurt Russell starred in it, John Carpenter. um Yeah, it's going to be out in theaters, the only thing they said.
00:28:59
Speaker
And he's going to be in charge of it. so Escape from New York. I liked it. Not huge on it. Good movie. Good movie. um Snyder.
00:29:10
Speaker
ah That movie's probably to three hours long, slowing down everything. The director's cut, probably, yeah. Yeah, we'll watch it. um And Gene Wilder is going to have a biopic in the works. And the minute I saw this, and then the internet picked up on it as well, if Jeremy Allen White does not play will does not play Gene Wilder, Willy Wonka, and all the other characters he's done, It is a travesty to Hollywood. look circus site They are identical.
00:29:37
Speaker
They look like father son. it's It's a better casting than anything that he's done, including the Bruce Springsteen biopic, which I've yet to see. I think you saw it, right? and I didn't never got your opinion. Yeah, saw it. It's good.
00:29:49
Speaker
I like it a lot. Yeah, I haven't seen it yet. um because It's just a weird time for his career. It's just weird we' to choose a Nebraska album. to do that. but um That is an odd choice. but i like to Yeah, odd choice. Streets of Rage, a game that came out ins on Sega right around the time of when Sega was huge in the early 90s. And a movie, going to be in the works. um And the creators of Sonic the Hedgehog, the the movie, are going be writing the script. um And yeah, coming out sometime and and producing it right now. So coming out sometime probably next year, I would guess.
00:30:27
Speaker
So keep an eye on that. We've got brand new popcorn buckets, one from Scream. By the way, the bong popcorn buckets, that was all a fake promo. Those aren't real.
00:30:37
Speaker

00:30:48
Speaker
Also, another popcorn bucket. This one is for the Odyssey. IMAX, I think it's IMAX exclusive popcorn bucket with the IMAX camera. Because, of course, no one known for that. Mostly known for that. so And let's get into some swag.

00:31:33
Speaker
Resin statue ah at DC Direct. It looks awesome. Like I mentioned, the likeness on McFarlane is getting up there with Hot Toys. I think in another 10 years, it'll probably be even better. So, yeah it looks awesome.
00:31:46
Speaker
Looks right directly out of the comic book, but mixed with the movie, too, so it's it's awesome. i We've got a new motion poster for the Lanterns. um Probably after Supergirl comes out, we'll get more promotion for Lanterns starting.
00:31:59
Speaker
Question. Why does it look like the ring is sitting in a puddle of piss that they just urinated on the ground? Yeah, yeah. It looks like a puddle of something.
00:32:11
Speaker
But I'm excited for the show. I can't wait. Yeah, I'm very excited. August is going to be great. This whole summer has been great for these type of movies. Let's see what else we got.
Superhero and Comic Book Previews
00:32:21
Speaker
And James Gunn, because they're going filming outside, they wanted to release it online beforehand, released the first look of Lex in the armor suit from the comic books. They recreated it for the movie. We knew that from the promo shots when they announced this movie, Man of Tomorrow. And they did show a scene of them being outside and fighting Superman and Superman having him on the ground punching him a dozen times. So, cannot wait. We'll get more shots, I'm sure, of other characters. If they have to shoot more outside, maybe. I don't know.
00:32:53
Speaker
We got a return date for season two of Caped Crusader. I was very high on the first season. It was a retelling noir story of Batman, kind of reminiscent of Batman in the Animated Series, but even further, deeper into the noir. um And season and two is gonna be coming out July 31st on Prime. And we got some brand new pictures of new new shots from that movie. uh batman we got the look of the joker looks like he's he's possessed somebody um and we got the gray ghost are you getting the pictures on your side on the slide because it keeps spinning online yeah yeah that'd be fine yeah gray ghost uh meeting up with batman i think that's uh carrie kelly right from uh from dark knight returns um we also got a mad hatter patty um who's a gender swapped a mad hatter in this new season so

00:33:51
Speaker
Um, and, uh, yeah. I, uh, I'm kind of pissed about that because all the spoilers are going coming out. not going paying for fucking... going because you can't do we can't do regal unlimited with fandango so you have to pay i'm not going to do that we have we have unlimited for a reason so um very excited for the movie though um i just hope the spoilers don't go too crazy in those two days before we see it so keep an eye on it um and a whole bunch of promo posters came out as well um that have not officially been the kind of leak they haven't officially been out but um
00:34:25
Speaker
We got all the characters we know so far are in the movie, Boomerang, Scorpion, the Hulk, Tarantula. We got some more promo shots of them. And we also got a promo shot of Tombstone, who has not been officially announced or shown or anything in any promo shot. But we do get a cartoon image of him there. And the other thing that has shown up is people think that Boomerang, the actor who plays him, is going to be the same actor who's dating MJ in the movie. Who is Ezra from from Star Wars live action um in Ahsoka.
00:35:00
Speaker
He's going to be playing the boyfriend character. And they think because if you look at him closely in the Boomerang, it looks like the same actor. So maybe that could be the case. Maybe Boomerang is... is MJ's new boyfriend. I don't know, but fans think that. And kind of maybe the proof is there. I don't know.
00:35:17
Speaker
um I saw this. I haven't seen it anywhere else. I'm not sure if it's true or not.
