It did, but then, and yeah.
00:02:15
fart souls
He's a special agent now. He's not, he's not a cop anymore.
00:02:16
Devon Kopete
It applied to Alex Murphy. I don't think it applies to Robocop.
00:02:21
JackinPhoenix
He's a robot.
00:02:21
fart souls
But he's literally a cop that is controlled by the government even more so than than a regular cop.
00:02:23
Devon Kopete
Yeah, but yeah, but he overcomes.
00:02:25
slimeballsteve
His name is RoboCop.
00:02:28
Devon Kopete
He overcomes the programming.
00:02:30
slimeballsteve
I would, I would, I would, I would let you have it if his name was RoboGuard.
00:02:31
fart souls
I don't know, dude, I don't know, man. Oh, no.
00:02:35
JackinPhoenix
You threw that guy out of that window, man.

JackinPhoenix
The guy sucked.
00:02:37

00:02:39
JackinPhoenix
And we were all full. Well, they will.
00:02:42
fart souls
I mean, if it if it applies to John McClain, then yeah, it applies to Robocop, too.
00:02:46
JackinPhoenix
Yeah, I guess you're right.
00:02:47
JackinPhoenix
I guess you're right. I guess you're right. that if it
00:02:49
fart souls
All right, if it applies to dynamite cop, if it's ad cap.
00:02:52
slimeballsteve
Head, head cap?
00:02:52
JackinPhoenix
It ah applies to Jackie Chan.
00:02:53
fart souls
If it's all dynamite cops are bastards, all ad cap, all dynamite cops are bastards.
00:02:58
Devon Kopete
i I don't know if um' I'm still struggling to sign off on that.
00:03:03
fart souls
Why would it wait, what about?
00:03:03
JackinPhoenix
Chan, point story.
00:03:03
Devon Kopete
Like Robocop 2, Robocop 2, we literally see ACAP. We literally see it. And then he he overpowers his programming.
00:03:12
fart souls
ah Nicholas Angel hot from hot fuzz Axel Foley If it applies Chris Chris if it applies to mark if a cab applies to March from Fargo then applies to Robocop to I'm sorry All right
00:03:15
Devon Kopete
I don't know. Who's that?
00:03:15
JackinPhoenix
Well, I know for to To add to add to Devin's argument, there was a scene in RoboCop 2 where they tried putting other cops ah into RoboCop suits, but they were so racist that they killed themselves.
00:03:29
JackinPhoenix
So there is, he's the only one not racist to, to withstand.
00:03:40
JackinPhoenix
She's so nice. She's
Marvel Characters on Mount Rushmore
00:03:42
JackinPhoenix
so nice though.
00:03:42
fart souls
She's literally the best. She's better than Robocop.
00:03:45
JackinPhoenix
It's a beautiful day. You had to go do this.
00:03:48
fart souls
If it applies to her, it applies to Robocop, Devin. I'm sorry. And it does apply to her.
00:03:52
Devon Kopete
A cab except RoboCop that's that's that's my stance Because he's still a cop he's not a cyborg I'm saying I'm saying that I Got a soft spot.
00:03:52
JackinPhoenix
Okay, all right.
00:03:55
fart souls
No, you can't. You can't. I didn't I didn't have this much pushback when we talked about Leon Kennedy ah in applying to him.
00:04:02
JackinPhoenix
Yeah, I guess you're right.
00:04:07
JackinPhoenix
He's actually a top cop if he's secretly
00:04:09
slimeballsteve
So you're saying once you become a robot that France sends being a cop.
00:04:12
fart souls
Yeah, that's not. I'm saying. Yeah, if we had rope if we had robocops.
00:04:18
Devon Kopete
I got a soft spot. I'm not denied.
00:04:20
fart souls
Devon Devon, if we had if we had robocops, if we had robocops now and today and 20 in the 20 20s, like it would be pretty horrible world.
00:04:26
JackinPhoenix
It'd be pretty awful.
00:04:28
slimeballsteve
Devin, Devin, Devin, I have a question for you.
00:04:28
Devon Kopete
Yeah, but like, but like we only have one, we have one Robocop and I'd be all in on that guy.
00:04:28
JackinPhoenix
But Alex Murphy is is is a good guy.
00:04:37
Devon Kopete
That's like saying Captain America is like knock off if the looks at a robot.
00:04:39
fart souls
Yeah, he is. He's a fucking he's a shit.
00:04:42
slimeballsteve
Devin, if the Ku Klux Klan had a robot in it, would you give them a free pass?
00:04:47
Devon Kopete
Yeah. Tell me.
00:04:50
Devon Kopete
I mean, is it, is it like Alex Murphy?
00:04:50
slimeballsteve
Is that what you're telling me?
00:04:54
JackinPhoenix
He would never join the Ku Klux Klan.
00:04:56
Devon Kopete
Yeah. Like, I mean,
00:04:58
fart souls
Oh, this. um I don't know, man, not he might.
00:05:01
Devon Kopete
See, now you got John double.
00:05:05
Devon Kopete
Dude, that's where we would not try to keep what's planned. What?
00:05:09
fart souls
You don't know that.
00:05:10
JackinPhoenix
I really, I don't know how racist he is, but he hasn't seen racist in the movie.
00:05:14
Devon Kopete
Yeah, dude, come on.
00:05:15
fart souls
Yeah, but whoever is controlling his programming, if if they're racist, he's racist, he's just racist as men.
00:05:20
JackinPhoenix
Well, I mean, he fought against it. He did fight fight against his protocols.
00:05:24
fart souls
And I'm sorry to say, Devin, but racism is systemic and our in our law enforcement systems, all right?
00:05:31
Devon Kopete
Yeah, but that's why you Yeah, but also you take all of that out he's he doesn't you know, you take the human element out of it Steve I'm not lying.
00:05:32
slimeballsteve
a system like a computer.
00:05:33
fart souls
It's a system, like a computer system.
00:05:43
slimeballsteve
If RoboCop didn't spin his gun, I feel like you would be all a cab with RoboCop.
00:05:47
fart souls
Yeah, Evan, come on.
00:05:48
JackinPhoenix
Well first of all Steve first of all first of all a not only does he spin his gun, but he puts it in his hip That's awesome
00:05:49
Devon Kopete
Yeah, that's that's a big chunk of it. Yeah
00:05:55
fart souls
Yeah, what do we say? What do we say, Chris? We say fuck 12. We say fuck 12. Doesn't matter if you're a robot or if you're human. If you're 12, fuck you. OK. OK.
00:06:08
JackinPhoenix
i You know, it's some truth.
Batman Portrayals in Media
00:06:10
JackinPhoenix
There's some truth there.
00:06:10
fart souls
Speaking about cal of Captain America, real quick, I just want to get your quick opinions on this. There was another post that came up in my timeline that was comics related. And somebody posted a picture of, is they said this is the Mount Rushmore of Marvel movies.
00:06:25
fart souls
And it had Tobey Maguire, Spider-Man. Chris Evans, Captain, yeah, yeah, Tobey Maguire, Spider-Man, yeah.
00:06:29
Devon Kopete
Spider man, or just, okay. Okay.
00:06:33
fart souls
That Spider-Man, Tobey Maguire, Spider-Man. Chris Evans is Captain America. um
00:06:38
Devon Kopete
Oh, oh, I get it.
00:06:39
fart souls
It had um to ah Robert Downey Jr's Tony Stark and Hugh Jackman's Wolverine. They said that's the Mount Rushmore. I didn't see Blade on there, so I was a little offended.
00:06:54
slimeballsteve
you'd You'd have to have Blade on there.
00:06:55
JackinPhoenix
See, I think, personally, i I think Toby, I think Toby, yeah, Toby, I think the strength of Toby's performance totally is totally it's totally encapsulated by the direction of Sam Raimi.
00:06:56
fart souls
Yeah, that yeah so so that's the thing that's the thing.
00:06:56
Devon Kopete
ah I would replaced toby i replace Toby.
00:06:58
fart souls
If you have to have if you have you have to have Blade on there, like who do you replace on that Mount Rushmore?
00:07:04
Devon Kopete
replace Toby.
00:07:08
fart souls
What? You take Toby away?
00:07:13
fart souls
I would take, I would take Cap.
00:07:14
JackinPhoenix
I think Sam Raimi, I think Sam Raimi, but I think Toby shouldn't be on there too.
00:07:15
fart souls
I would take Cap away.
00:07:20
JackinPhoenix
like i i Is it the movies?
00:07:20
fart souls
No, but it's not Toby, it's not Toby though. It's not the actor. It's just that Spider-Man. Yeah, it's that Spider-Man.
00:07:26
JackinPhoenix
You're saying?
00:07:27
fart souls
That Spider-Man is in the Mount Rushmore.
00:07:28
Devon Kopete
Well, and see yeah, I guess when I i hear it's like best casting, right?
00:07:30
JackinPhoenix
It's kind of muddled for me.
00:07:31
Devon Kopete
Like, I don't know.
00:07:33
JackinPhoenix
Robert Downey Jr., yes. There's no doubt my mic.
00:07:35
fart souls
I would take cap I would take cap probably cap away.
00:07:38
Devon Kopete
I think he's so good, though. He's so good.
00:07:41
fart souls
He's good, but like if if you think about that MCU, you don't like it.
00:07:45
JackinPhoenix
Hugh Jackman, yes.
00:07:47
Devon Kopete
But people retroactively argue that ah Andrew Garfield was better. Tom Holland's there, and he's really good.
00:07:53
fart souls
ah Hold on timeout, Devin, you've never you've never once even refer to those got those people as actual human beings that say that Andrew Garfield spider was better.
00:08:01
Devon Kopete
No, no, they're not human. They don't count.
00:08:04
Devon Kopete
But I'm just saying, like, there are people that say that.
00:08:04
fart souls
But what what I'm saying is like cap is good. Yeah, but I think it's I think having cap and Tony is redundant there because they're the same universe and I i feel like if you're gonna have somebody from that era of Marvel movies, then it has to be it has to be Robert Downey Jr's Tony Stark Just It's just Mount Rushmore man Mount Rushmore
00:08:19
Devon Kopete
Well, I guess, like, what is the context through that? Like, is it just like best casting or just best character in general? I don't know.
00:08:30
Devon Kopete
Because ah if I'm thinking casting I would definitely take out Toby and add in Wesley Snipes.
00:08:35
slimeballsteve
The way I'm thinking about it is this. Okay, hold on. Let's, let's take the actual presidents that are on mountain rush more and assign them to their superhero cinematic counterparts.
00:08:44
Devon Kopete
You're about to find out I don't know who's on Mount Rushmore.
00:08:46
slimeballsteve
Our first president, George Washington.
00:08:46
fart souls
Abraham Abraham Lincoln I would say Blade is Abraham Lincoln I don't know that's just I don't know that's just bad Yeah, it's just Marvel movies yeah Marvel marvel movies yeah
00:08:48
JackinPhoenix
George Washington, that's your your Robert Downey Jr.
00:08:50
slimeballsteve
That's your, so ah that I was going to say, that's your blade. Cause he's the first army.
00:08:57
slimeballsteve
Oh, wait, hold on. Maybe it might, it might be Christopher Reeves, dude. It might be Christopher Reeves, Superman.
00:09:02
Devon Kopete
Well, yeah, wait, yeah, wait, I'm sorry. Was this just with Marvel characters?
00:09:05
JackinPhoenix
It's just Marvel, right?
00:09:06
slimeballsteve
Oh, just Marvel? Okay, okay.
00:09:08
slimeballsteve
Yeah, yeah, yeah, then probably Blade then.
00:09:10
JackinPhoenix
Okay. I see what you're saying through the metric of it being Mount Rushmore.
00:09:14
slimeballsteve
Who's your Lincoln?
00:09:14
JackinPhoenix
He's the first president.
00:09:15
slimeballsteve
Yeah, who's your Lincoln?
00:09:17
Devon Kopete
ah Who's the best Robert?
00:09:20
slimeballsteve
Wait, you can't- we already put Blade on there for George Washington.
00:09:21
JackinPhoenix
It's all blade. It's all blade.
00:09:23
Devon Kopete
I just four blades.
00:09:24
slimeballsteve
It's all Blade.
00:09:25
slimeballsteve
I see what you're doing, John!
00:09:27
fart souls
It's all blade, damn it.
00:09:28
slimeballsteve
It's all Blade, baby.
00:09:31
JackinPhoenix
I guess if you're including, if you're, if you're talking about the movies, I guess Toby McGuire should stay up there because the movies are iconic, but I don't,
00:09:31
fart souls
Yeah, I don't know.
00:09:37
fart souls
Yeah, because I mean, you have to have those movies, right? You have to have yeah to have something that represent that's representative of those of those Spider-Man movies.
00:09:43
slimeballsteve
It's like that Spider-Man suit, Spider-Man.
00:09:45
JackinPhoenix
Kinda, am I weird in saying that I don't think, I think Spider-Man and Batman, like nobody has really gotten it perfect? like i To me, at least.
00:09:53
fart souls
The casting of the character itself.
00:09:55
JackinPhoenix
Yeah, I think i think so.
00:09:56
JackinPhoenix
i like I just don't think any performance, I guess he's the best, right?
00:09:58
fart souls
I'm sorry, Kevin Conroy wasn't good enough for you, OK?
00:10:02
slimeballsteve
I mean, you know, that's the voice, that's the
Cape Crusader Show Review
00:10:06
slimeballsteve
perfect voice.
00:10:06
JackinPhoenix
But you can't put a voice on Mount Rushmore.
00:10:08
slimeballsteve
You could, you could have a little button when you looked at it that you press
00:10:14
fart souls
Yeah, I guess he had Batman.
00:10:14
JackinPhoenix
I don't know.
00:10:15
fart souls
Yeah, Batman's never.
00:10:17
JackinPhoenix
To me, that's for both characters, I think.
00:10:19
fart souls
Yeah, so are you saying Batman is like a system quarterback? He's like Brock perdy
00:10:23
fart souls
Where it's like he kind of gets carried by his rogues gallery because they're if they get those guys, right?
00:10:26
JackinPhoenix
I think so.
00:10:28
fart souls
Then you know, then everything else is just falls into place He sees Brock pretty he's a system quarterback Batman
00:10:30
slimeballsteve
Well, is is Batman just like ever flowing yeah, like you can constantly change him That that Batman show that you guys were talking about last week I finally caught up on it and they do a lot of that in that night I
00:10:31
Devon Kopete
Well, Batman's tough to nail down because there's like different versions of Batman, you know?
00:10:35
JackinPhoenix
You're absolutely right, Devin. You're absolutely right. I think there's is' a lot of nuance to it.
00:10:48
slimeballsteve
really dug a lot of it.
00:10:49
JackinPhoenix
i like I like his yeah it's back and forth. you know I guess that's what you could call it with Batman, the the Bruce to Batman hangover.
00:10:57
slimeballsteve
You're never getting the same Batman.
00:10:59
JackinPhoenix
And I like when he breaks. I like when he you see Batman come through when he's Bruce, especially when he's yelling at at Alfred, like when he's yelling at Alfred and being like just generally, it's almost like he's a third character with Alfred.
00:11:02
fart souls
Wait, Devon, did you finish the cave crusader?
00:11:06
fart souls
You're such a... You suck.
00:11:17
JackinPhoenix
You know, like he's Batman, he's with Alfred, he's kind of mean with him, but not as gruff as he is as he is with Batman.
00:11:23
JackinPhoenix
It's interesting. I really like what that voice actor did.
00:11:26
slimeballsteve
i was ah I was geeking out at the ah the credits of every episode, because I was like, oh, all day. All right, let's go.
00:11:35

They really did. They really, really did. um
00:11:43
fart souls
He was like really like Yeah, like I may have enjoyed x-men 97 more but like I have to like Hand it to like just the production and quality of the Cape Crusader show is better Aesthetics the fucking so the score the score was like it's like amazing to like the
00:11:55
JackinPhoenix

I was. I was.
00:13:07
Devon Kopete
It's back, baby.
00:13:10
Devon Kopete
Yeah, they were amazing. Fucking.
00:13:13
fart souls
It's literally a fucking it should be considered a war crime what Netflix is doing making us wait for the next part And yeah, we're gonna get one one episode a month
00:13:19
JackinPhoenix
That's how I felt about- That's how I felt about Invincible, man.
00:13:21
Devon Kopete
Is that that way? Is that confirmed, by the way, the stranger things with like there's eight episodes and they're going to be two hours an episode?
00:13:26
JackinPhoenix
I guess. That's what I saw.
00:13:31
Devon Kopete
Damn yeah, that's gonna take six years to come out Yeah, little secret Oh
00:13:36
JackinPhoenix
Yeah, you get one one every year, and then we get Secret Season. You can only access if 11 goes into a weird cave at the end of your version on Netflix, and then you get the Secret Season.
00:13:49
Devon Kopete
So only one what out of every like what ten thousand five, okay, what happened every five oh
00:13:52
JackinPhoenix
Five, one out of every five, he gets the Secret Season.
00:13:56
slimeballsteve
Oh, you gotta unlock the secret season.
00:13:58
JackinPhoenix
Yeah, only one out of every five Netflix subscribers get it, because L walks into a weird cave, and it smells real bad.
00:14:01
Devon Kopete
You know what?
00:14:05
Devon Kopete
I'm going to have to rewatch. I'm going to have to rewatch my, uh, all of the episodes. So I get enough stranger points to unlock it.
00:14:12
JackinPhoenix
Yeah, you gotta, you gotta write those books up there.
00:14:14
Devon Kopete
Yeah. I got to unlock that secret episode.
00:14:14
JackinPhoenix
I did. I did my duty.
00:14:18
JackinPhoenix
I rewatched, I actually rewatched it somewhat recently.
00:14:20
Devon Kopete
Are you like all of it?
00:14:23
Devon Kopete
You know, I rewatch.
00:14:24
JackinPhoenix
When I was sick, I was kind of like watching that and other stuff when I can focus.
00:14:26
Devon Kopete
Okay. I rewatched like half of the first season again. And I was like, it like it's like a totally different show.
00:14:33
JackinPhoenix
Yeah, I know. A lot cheaper.
00:14:34
Devon Kopete
It's just no really good, but still really good.
00:14:35
JackinPhoenix
A lot cheaper.
00:14:36
Devon Kopete
It's like a mystery.
00:14:37
JackinPhoenix
The budget like you just see it. It's like a direct line upwards.
00:14:40
Devon Kopete
Oh, yeah, yeah. But um yeah, but like seriously, ah yeah, Cobra Kai, though, like if you were on the fence, you start this episode or start the season and you're like, nah, dude, just just get through like those first like three episodes.
00:14:42
JackinPhoenix
that sugars And you got what two more coming out in three months.
00:14:58
Devon Kopete
It's worth it man. It's amazing.
00:15:03
Devon Kopete
Uh, two more chunks. I don't know. Yeah. It's John is right.
00:15:07
JackinPhoenix
That's weird.
00:15:07
Devon Kopete
This is, uh, it's fucked up.
00:15:08
JackinPhoenix
That's fucked up, man. um Same way I felt about The Vinceful.
00:15:11
fart souls
It's dirty, dude, it's really dirty.
00:15:12
JackinPhoenix
It's dirty.
00:15:13
JackinPhoenix
It is dirty. And I think it tells me a lot because production on on television and movies is down.
00:15:20
fart souls
And I don't see I don't see what the point of doing.
00:15:21
JackinPhoenix
So they're doing this intentionally, obviously.
00:15:23
fart souls
I don't see what the point of doing it's just to like, get the light because people could technically just cancel their subscription until that it comes back.
00:15:31
JackinPhoenix
For three months.
00:15:32
JackinPhoenix
I think it's just, they don't have a lot of content, John. I think it's like they were not producing as much as they used to.
00:15:37
fart souls
Oh, they got to spread them out.
00:15:38
JackinPhoenix
Yeah, definitely.
00:15:39
fart souls
You got to. They got to slow roll it out.
00:15:41
JackinPhoenix
Trickle it.
00:15:42
fart souls
They got to throttle their ah their content releases.
00:15:45
JackinPhoenix
To some degree, especially if it's like the last season, I don't mind if like the last episode or the last couple episodes, there's a little bit of a break, but three months or whatever is, and especially with the Minsville's case, half the season, it's it's fucking terrible.
00:15:55
Devon Kopete
Yeah, listen up.
00:15:59
fart souls
It's disgusting. Yeah, it's horrible. We don't deserve this.
00:16:04
Devon Kopete
Yes. You know, if there's like a price bump between now and and the end of Cobra Kai, I think that might be it for me.
00:16:15
Devon Kopete
I'll just be like, I'll just download it.
00:16:16
JackinPhoenix
You think that's gonna happen?
00:16:17
Devon Kopete
Like, I don't need this. I don't know. do Like, yeah, actually, yes, because it's Netflix.
00:16:22
fart souls
or they'll they'll raise the price before Stranger Things comes out or something.
00:16:26
JackinPhoenix
The thing I'm really kind of interested in is what's going on with like Paramount and Warner Brothers. Because I think and Amazon or Apple, they're going to start buying all the shit they're selling.
00:16:37
JackinPhoenix
like they're I know Paramount's television division just closed down their production division.
00:16:42
JackinPhoenix
And like they're probably going to start selling their library because I can't imagine their streaming service being active.
00:16:48
Devon Kopete
Selling, they're just like renting out.
00:16:50
JackinPhoenix
I think they're going to be gutting like sections like IPs and selling them to the to the highest bidder. That's what I think Warner Brothers is going to do, too. And it's all going to go to like the companies that have the most money.
00:17:02
JackinPhoenix
Apple, Amazon, Apple desperately needs like a library.
00:17:06
JackinPhoenix
You know, they don't really have a lot of stuff on their, on their app.
00:17:10
Devon Kopete
i I think Apple's that's going to shutter like.
00:17:13
JackinPhoenix
You think so? They got a lot of money, Devin.
00:17:16
Devon Kopete
But the thing is, is like, did you hear about like there their numbers? It was like.
00:17:20
JackinPhoenix
That was terrible.
00:17:21
Devon Kopete
It's literally like. Netflix announced how many subscribers they lost, and it was like twice as many as Apple has.
00:17:30
JackinPhoenix
I mean, that's terrible.
00:17:30
Devon Kopete
It was like something really ah egregious.
00:17:32
JackinPhoenix
But even crazier, this is the first year that Disney Plus has actually turned a profit, apparently, which that could be, you know,
Streaming Service Competition
00:17:41
Devon Kopete
But like, yeah, but I mean like, but you're right.
00:17:41
JackinPhoenix
book weird bookmaking.
00:17:42
JackinPhoenix
But like none of these none of these things are winners. They're losers.
00:17:48
Devon Kopete
And also think about the insane library that Disney has as opposed to Apple, you know?
00:17:53
JackinPhoenix
Oh, no, you're right. And I think that's why Apple, if they're not if they're going to keep their shit open, they're going to have to start buying all the shit. that Paramount and Warner Brothers is going to be gutting in their company, which is going to happen because both their stock prices are in the toilet and Zazlov is, he he's got to do something.
00:18:12
JackinPhoenix
like He's got to gut more.
00:18:13
Devon Kopete
Yeah. Like what is, what is the point of Apple right now? Like I don't.
00:18:18
JackinPhoenix
It's you're right. They need to start buying stuff to fill a library for their streaming service.
00:18:25
JackinPhoenix
That's what they need to do.
00:18:25
Devon Kopete
I don't know. Cause.
00:18:26
JackinPhoenix
And they have the money to do it. That's,
00:18:28
Devon Kopete
Yeah, but like I'm at a point where all they have for me is a show that's not coming out until 2025. And even then, yeah, and even then, I'm just like, I'm sure i um' I'm on somebody's plaques.
00:18:37
slimeballsteve
Severance.
00:18:45
Devon Kopete
Like, you know, like I don't need it.
00:18:48
Devon Kopete
And it's to their credit, ah Apple plus is what, like five bucks. It's like not a lot, but it's, it's just five bucks.
00:18:55
JackinPhoenix
But Devin, when when Apple gets the whore that is the American office to come over to their app.
00:18:56
Devon Kopete
I don't need to spend.
00:19:03
Devon Kopete
Yeah, but like, I don't know.
00:19:04
slimeballsteve
From Peacock.
00:19:08
JackinPhoenix
Because that is the horror of television shows, it just goes all these different corners.
00:19:11
Devon Kopete
You're right.
00:19:14
slimeballsteve
Dude, I'm not going to lie.
00:19:15
Devon Kopete
You know, you know, when that happens, that's just peacocks can be like, oh, the the reboot's official and you need peacock.
00:19:20
slimeballsteve
We're yeah, we're we're going to get a and I don't think I don't think he could do it again. I don't think he could get
Nostalgia for 'The Office' & Jason Biggs
00:19:26
slimeballsteve
um Steve Carell to be that level of Steve Carell again.
00:19:26
JackinPhoenix
Steve Krell.
00:19:31
Devon Kopete
I was going to say, I think like they do it.
00:19:31
slimeballsteve
I think he lost it.
00:19:33
Devon Kopete
I just don't know if it's, it won't be the same. Of course.
00:19:37
JackinPhoenix
It'll just go on, if they do it, it'll go on forever. Cause obviously I don't think Steve Krell is getting like a lot of work necessarily.
00:19:44
slimeballsteve
Nah, I think Foxtrot really screwed him up, like making that movie.
00:19:44
Devon Kopete
Yeah. So I mean like all of their, all of their, I don't know.
00:19:48
JackinPhoenix
Yeah. boxster That's a very adorable dance for a movie that was not
00:19:49
slimeballsteve
Whatever it's called. What was that movie called? Fox and the Hound.
00:19:55
slimeballsteve
The one where he plays DuPont.
00:19:56
JackinPhoenix
Yeah, I know, I'm trying to think too.
00:20:00
Devon Kopete
Oh, oh, Fox catcher.
00:20:02
JackinPhoenix
Fox catcher, thanks.
00:20:02
slimeballsteve
Foxcatcher, thank you.
00:20:03
Devon Kopete
Yeah, dude, that movie came out like 12 years ago. No, remember he did that whole Space Force or whatever, but.
00:20:09
JackinPhoenix
He did a lot of TV shows in between that and that, and they They really could get at all of those people for a song, even, it's true.
00:20:11
Devon Kopete
Yeah, yeah, and none of them have. Yeah. And, you know, the other people are doing fucking Internet commercial like FiOS Internet commercials.
00:20:23
Devon Kopete
Everyone. Yeah. Jim, maybe. He'll pop in.
00:20:29
JackinPhoenix
Yeah, like you won't, I mean, is he really that important?
00:20:32
Devon Kopete
He's, I think of all of them, he's the most successful post office.
00:20:35
JackinPhoenix
I know, but as you is he as important?
00:20:37
JackinPhoenix
He's not as important on the office, I don't think.
00:20:38
slimeballsteve
Yeah Dude he was making that he was making that money with uh, where the quiet things are I'm leaning in Yeah, I agree I agree
00:20:43
Devon Kopete
witch You to lock it in.
00:20:45
JackinPhoenix
I think the office would, the office would have still been really, would it would have been good if Jim left instead of Michael Scott. Like it still would have been good.
00:20:56
JackinPhoenix
You know, like it don't mean they don't need him. in that show.
00:21:01
slimeballsteve
There was so some fun cameos for like the replacement characters, but...
00:21:06
Devon Kopete
went on too long. It felt like ah it's like what they were doing with a daily show.
00:21:10
slimeballsteve
ah You know, if we stuck with Angelo, if we stuck with Will Ferrell as Angelo, yeah, that might've been good.
00:21:10
Devon Kopete
So Jon Stewart came back weekly.
00:21:15
JackinPhoenix
Angela Vickers.
00:21:17
slimeballsteve
That might've been really good.
00:21:18
JackinPhoenix
You know what's funny? Everybody hates his character. like Yeah, man.
00:21:21
slimeballsteve
I love him. He's ridiculous.
00:21:24
JackinPhoenix
So funny. He's fucking yelling at that cake.
00:21:30
JackinPhoenix
No! He just puts his hands in it.
00:21:35
JackinPhoenix
I'll just have a little taste.
00:21:37
slimeballsteve
No! What am I doing?
00:21:44
Devon Kopete
Uh, Hey, also watched some baking show on Netflix.
00:21:48
slimeballsteve
Oh, what show?
00:21:49
Devon Kopete
I'm that guy.
00:21:51
Devon Kopete
The one where Jason Biggs is the host.
00:21:53
slimeballsteve
Oh, I don't know that one.
00:21:54
Devon Kopete
Uh, it's like, it like came out like, Oh
00:21:55
fart souls
Does he does he does he does he fuck the pies when they're when they're done making them?
00:22:00
Devon Kopete
no, listen, listen.
00:22:02
Devon Kopete
We were like, we were like, how far do they go before they made three jokes in the first episode?
00:22:04
fart souls
Well, you're welcome.
00:22:09
slimeballsteve
That's probably why they cast him. He's like, let's get the the guy who really liked me.
00:22:11
fart souls
Let's get the guy who stuck his dick in a pie. That'll be awesome.
00:22:14
Devon Kopete
Yeah, literally.
00:22:14
slimeballsteve
Let's get, what's his name? Dick pie. I think his name's Dick pie.
00:22:19
JackinPhoenix
He's not doing anything.
00:22:19
Devon Kopete
Yeah, wait, Netflix, Jason Biggs.
00:22:21
JackinPhoenix
He could be a big pie.
00:22:24
Devon Kopete
Blue Ribbon Baking Championship.
00:22:27
slimeballsteve
Was it good?
00:22:27
fart souls
it bet Is it better than the Great British Bake Off? That's the goat.
00:22:30
Devon Kopete
I didn't watch that one. Probably not.
00:22:32
fart souls
Why don't you watch that? Why are you watching this shit?
00:22:33
Devon Kopete
I don't think Jenny was watching it. And then I was like, oh, that guy's going to win or like, oh, that chick's going to lose.
00:22:36
fart souls
Why doesn't she watch Great British Bake Off? Don't you guys wanna feel something?
00:22:41
Devon Kopete
And then I was right every single goddamn time. Like I was texting her today, like she went out to go grocery shopping. I was like, I told you Kate was going to lose the fucking apple pie is an embarrassment. Like.
00:22:51
slimeballsteve
Oh, you were catching up.
00:22:53
Devon Kopete
Well, I was just watching it. I was on.
00:22:54
fart souls
An apple pie doesn't feel nearly like a real vagina like the other ones do.
00:22:57
Devon Kopete
Yeah, I was like, oh god, oh god, it's the feeling so bad looking so droopy.
00:23:01
slimeballsteve
You should ah you should watch the ah the Netflix show about the ah the Chocolatier School of Chocolate. It's got the ah the Amari chocolate guy on it. And ah that's that's kind of a fun one, too.
00:23:14
Devon Kopete
Yeah, the thing is that I don't, I understand it, but I don't like, it's just how positive the baking shows are.
00:23:24
slimeballsteve
Yeah, you don't like the positivity, you want it to be a little...
00:23:24
Devon Kopete
They're way too nice.
00:23:26
fart souls
No, but like the great British Bake Off is cool because there's like a non quantifiable mechanic that happens.
00:23:36
fart souls
Like if the dude shakes your hand, it's a big deal. It doesn't count towards anything.
00:23:42
fart souls
But if the guy shakes your hand after it, then you're just like, oh, my God, he shook her hand.
00:23:46
Devon Kopete
Well, it was.
00:23:48
fart souls
It's over. But there's there's nothing like, you know, that's saying that, you know, they don't get more points for handshake. It's just like.
00:23:54
Devon Kopete
Yeah, well, for this, it was the first competition was a was a judge's choice ribbon.
00:23:55
fart souls
It's just a big deal. There's a meta, you know, there's a meta.
00:24:02
Devon Kopete
And then and then they would play and then they'd cook something else.
00:24:02
fart souls
I see this this is this already sounds stupid and and lame.
00:24:06
Devon Kopete
And that was the one who determined who stayed and who who got kicked off.
00:24:09
fart souls
I'm already I'm already falling asleep.
00:24:10
Devon Kopete
And dude, it was a kiss of death.
00:24:11
fart souls
seven There's no handshakes. There's no handshakes.
00:24:14
Devon Kopete
I mean, I don't know what it looks like, and I guess.
00:24:16
fart souls
There's no Gordon Ramsay fucking gutting a chicken or ah slicing a chicken in the eight parts blindfolded like, come on.
00:24:25
Devon Kopete
Is that in the brain? They're just killing chickens in the great British makeup?
00:24:27
fart souls
No, that's no this. No, that that's in. I think Master was a master chef or whatever.
00:24:33
slimeballsteve
master chef
00:24:35
fart souls
He like like before they they do their chicken dish.
00:24:35
slimeballsteve
Master chef.
00:24:38
fart souls
He like he blindfolds herself and slices the chicken. um And it's God like you're just like, OK, this guy's this guy's for real. This guy's this guy's legit.
00:24:46
JackinPhoenix

JackinPhoenix
That's not again. um I don't care about that stuff.
00:25:15
JackinPhoenix
I'm gonna be honest.
00:25:16
fart souls
Yeah, I don't care about and don't care about bad shows like the one Devin is describing. I don't really care about them in general either.
00:25:21
JackinPhoenix
Yeah, I agree, I agree.
00:25:22
Devon Kopete
i just want to tell I just wanted to answer the question, I just wanted to answer the question of how many how many times they made him fucking pie jokes.
00:25:22
slimeballsteve
Devan's just like, i I was watching a show with my girlfriend, man.
00:25:33
Devon Kopete

00:25:39
JackinPhoenix
And I'm gonna stick to it.
00:25:41
Devon Kopete
Why? You've never seen them back in pie reunion?

00:26:04
JackinPhoenix
you know I don't know if this is still true, but American Pie 2 holds the record for the shortest production of any film ever made.
00:26:12
JackinPhoenix

slimeballsteve
That makes sense.
00:26:15
fart souls
All right here, I have i have Jason Biggs' awards.

Chocolate swirl, that was... I do remember that. I do remember Tasty.
00:27:09
fart souls
That's it and um, what's her name tasty you remember tasty and that's it
00:27:15
fart souls
Tasty and and crazy eyes and that's it. Oh, and Pensa-Tucky.
00:27:18
Devon Kopete
what in the world
00:27:18
JackinPhoenix
and first season I remember the first season I don't really much much else oh
00:27:19
fart souls
You know, maybe this is a good show. Maybe it is a good show. And we're just, you know, we're just capping right now, guys. You know.
00:27:28
fart souls
Speaking of capping, I've been capping today.
00:27:32
JackinPhoenix
yeah yeah yep
00:27:33
fart souls
I'm down bad. Dark Souls 2 has been a horrible, horrible experience for me. Uh, it's just a muddy and stinky and bad game. I don't, I can understand why a lot of the purists don't like it.
00:27:47
JackinPhoenix
I'm one of them
00:27:47
fart souls
Uh, the fact that Tim and Amir love it.
00:27:50
JackinPhoenix
They're gasolating you.
00:27:52
fart souls
Yeah, I feel like it's a little, I'm being a little gaslit.
00:27:53
JackinPhoenix
They're gasolating you.
00:27:55
fart souls
Yeah, I do because like, I'll be like, like I'll text him here and be like, yeah, I don't know, man. I don't know. Maybe I'll just, maybe I'll just stop playing this and play. Dark Souls 3 instead and he's like, you know, do what you gotta do, man.
00:28:08
fart souls
And once he says that, then I'm just like, man, fuck you. Because he's like, you know, I do like it.
00:28:14
fart souls
I was just like, man, now I fucking feel bad. Now I feel like I have to play it, but I just can't.
00:28:20
JackinPhoenix
Yeah, you never I never once got into a groove of that game, ever.
00:28:23
fart souls
Well, wait till I tell you what I started playing today, Chris.
00:28:28
fart souls
I started playing Cyberpunk 2077.
00:28:34
Devon Kopete
Well, this is it's the good one, right? Where all the mechanics are different.
00:28:36
JackinPhoenix
Did you watch the anime and you got back into it?
00:28:39
fart souls
No, i didn't I didn't watch the show yet. I didn't watch the show yet.
00:28:41
JackinPhoenix
Oh, you didn't.
00:28:42
fart souls
No, but it was on sale.
00:28:42
JackinPhoenix
OK. Steve, Steve said he did.
00:28:43
fart souls
So I was like, I was, you know, what Devin spent $40 on Robocop.
00:28:44
JackinPhoenix
That's right.
00:28:49
fart souls
I'll spend $50 on on the on whatever on this $25 on the DLC.
00:28:54
JackinPhoenix
What you thinkin'?
00:28:57
fart souls
Well, like it's been so long and I like blocked it out of my brain. Like all the the stuff that I did do in the game before. So I kind of remember what I'm doing.
00:29:07
fart souls
Like I'm doing I'm in the like the first missions or whatever with with Jackie or whatever.
00:29:11
JackinPhoenix
guys with the weird faces.
00:29:11
fart souls
um Yeah. And, you know, it's you know, it's like I'm remembering what I'm remembering right now playing because I could have um this is actually kind of cool and kind of like kind of baby compared to like what we just went through with Elden Ring.
00:29:13
JackinPhoenix
The red face, guys.
00:29:31
fart souls
But once you download the DLC, you have the option to just not play the regular game, just jump right into DLC.
00:29:40
fart souls
Like, yeah, there's like there's like an option. Like, do you want to start the game from the beginning with a fresh character? Or do you want to skip straight to Phantom Liberty?
00:29:50
JackinPhoenix
Do you want to play the dirty poo poo game or do you want to play the new game that we made?
00:29:50
fart souls
And they were like, yeah, and they're like, if you skip straight to Phantom Liberty, you'll you'll go right up to level 15
00:29:59
fart souls
They'll auto assign your attributes that you that you can that you can respect later if you want. And like all the previous stuff will be accessible.
00:30:07
fart souls
But like a bunch of like the main story mission decisions have already been decided for you or something. But I was like, you know, what I'll just start from the beginning again, because like, fuck it, like, I don't want to like, you know, maybe I'll get up to that point and then go right in the Phantom Liberty instead, because a lot of people were saying like,
00:30:26
fart souls
the best time to play Phantom Liberty is right before you're about to beat the main game.
00:30:32
fart souls
But you also um you also unlock the DLC area after like 20 percent through the main game anyway.
00:30:36
Devon Kopete
Pretty early.
00:30:42
fart souls
So I might just I might just go jump right into it as soon as I unlock it.
00:30:46
fart souls
And then because like what I was kind of afraid of is like not being I don't know if they have like access to like the tutorials and stuff. Um, in the, in the DLC.
00:30:57
fart souls
So I was like, you know, I would just play it from the beginning.
00:30:58
slimeballsteve
That's a good idea, because it's like you it's you've been so like removed from that initial game.
00:31:02
fart souls
Yeah, like I really, I really forgot how the game works and.
00:31:06
Devon Kopete
Well, also it's like works totally different now based off
2X KO Game Review & Fighting Games Discussion
00:31:10
Devon Kopete
of all the stuff we did.
00:31:10
fart souls
And that's the thing, but the thing is, is like, I don't I'm so removed and I don't remember it so much that I don't remember it feeling that much different.
00:31:10
slimeballsteve
Right. It's its own thing.
00:31:19
Devon Kopete
Anything. Yeah.
00:31:21
fart souls
So I'm just it's ah it's kind of like I'm playing it for the first time again.
00:31:24
fart souls
But like, you know, I'm still feeling like, oh, man like, because, you know, when you when you jump in the fucking helicopter thing in the beginning. And ride it to the to Lizzie's bar, like, like just flying through the night city and stuff, I'm like, man, this could have been the greatest game ever.
00:31:43
fart souls
like Like, like just like the atmosphere, the aesthetic, the fucking the music, the the city, the world building, like they really had everything there like.
00:31:54
fart souls
It's really a shame that they just decided to release an unfinished product before.
00:31:57
slimeballsteve
Dude, I got to parrot what the other guys were saying last week.
00:32:01
slimeballsteve
That Edgerunner show is like all that and a bag of chips.
00:32:04
JackinPhoenix
Great like great Dude
00:32:05
fart souls
It's got here?
00:32:05
slimeballsteve
Yeah, dude it dude it dude.
00:32:05
fart souls
It's got ti got here?
00:32:08
slimeballsteve
It's doing me dirty cuz it makes me also want to go back into cyberpunk.
00:32:12
fart souls
OK, so okay so so like that that kind of segues.
00:32:12
slimeballsteve
I'm like Hmm
00:32:13
JackinPhoenix
I'm telling you that's what happened. That's what happened
00:32:15
fart souls
Yeah, that kind of segways it I don't really have I don't have much to say about cyberpunk right now because I just started it again But I but now that like they have a they have the sister anime Like maybe I'll watch it now like I'm because I'm into all this stuff on the other hand though There's the other anime the League of Legends one arcane and I had access to the alpha code for 2x KO, which is the the fighting game based on on League of Legends and I
00:32:43
slimeballsteve
Thank you for that, by the way. I've installed it.
00:32:45
fart souls
Yeah, well, I also I'm sorry.
00:32:45
slimeballsteve
I haven't opened it yet.
00:32:48
fart souls
I'm sorry too for telling for giving it to you because.
00:32:51
slimeballsteve
Is it? Wait, wait. What's the, what's the prognosis?
00:32:54
fart souls
OK, so the game itself is actually kind of fun, like it feels like. It feels like Marvel vs Capcom 3 like ah the controls are very the same.
00:33:02
JackinPhoenix
What's the name of this game?
00:33:05
fart souls
What's that, Chris?
00:33:06
JackinPhoenix
What's the name of the game?
00:33:07
fart souls
It used to be Project L, which is a way cooler name, but they changed it to 2X KO. And it's because it's like a 2v2 tag fighting game, 2D fighter fighting game.
00:33:19
fart souls
But it also has like you can either play like Marvel vs Capcom where you control both character characters or you can play 2v2 with a partner and like play with somebody.
00:33:28
slimeballsteve
We get the same time.
00:33:30
fart souls
Yeah, you can play ah with a partner versus another team of two, which is interesting to me, you know, because they're, you know, because these are the guys, this is Riot Games.
00:33:36
JackinPhoenix
That sounds cool.
00:33:38
fart souls
They're the guys that made League of Legends and Valorant. which are like team based PVP experiences, right?
00:33:47
fart souls
And this is a 2D fighter. And, you know, we're in another re Renaissance of fighting games again. So like there's a lot of hype behind this game and it's Riot's first fighting game. um And the characters are really cool.
00:33:59
fart souls
Like they're like all the champions are are pretty cool. um The game itself is is pretty fun. Like um like I said, it's kind of I don't even I don't want to sound like a douche, but like it's.
00:34:15
fart souls
It's not it's it's kind of like it's it's it's easy to get into the game and because I was just like fucking mashing buttons and like a random fucking. Like an actual bread and butter combo like just happened with me, just mashing buttons, which is like whatever, like that's cool, I guess.
00:34:29
slimeballsteve
Yeah, you you were saying that.
00:34:33
fart souls
I think maybe ah the the ceiling is high for highly skilled players, but like the floor is also high for noobs as well, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
00:34:46
fart souls
I feel like if we played all together, like it would be pretty fun to play, especially if it's 2v2.
00:34:51
JackinPhoenix
Yeah, that sounds cool.
00:34:54
fart souls
But there's other stuff that's like outside of the game that really rubbed me the wrong way. um ah first thing is yeah The first thing is I don't
00:35:07
fart souls
Like the idea of having like a lot of multiple game launchers on my computer. Like I just want to have like one, maybe two.
00:35:16
slimeballsteve
I'm with you. I want just like steam. Yeah.
00:35:18
fart souls
Yeah, I just want steam and that's it. Or like, you know, if I if I ever sign back up for Xbox Live again, like at least that's like its own thing, too.
00:35:26
slimeballsteve
That's like built into Windows, basically, though.
00:35:30
fart souls
So like when I downloaded the code, it's like, oh, you got to do the right. You got to download the right game launcher. And I'm like, OK, whatever. Like I'll sign up. So I signed up. um And that was that. And then like before I could even play the game, it's like, oh, you got to restart the game or you're you got to restart Windows. So OK, so I restart Windows and then this fucking thing popped up in my in my tray.
00:35:55
fart souls
You know where all my Wi-Fi and like where all my stuff that is important for Windows.
00:35:58
slimeballsteve
Think they got you with the ah the startup, the startup app.
00:36:04
fart souls
Yeah, so there's this thing called Riot Vanguard, which I guess is an anti cheat software, which is what Tim was telling me.
00:36:10
fart souls
um But it's like it's automatically starts when I start my computer, which is I don't like that, you know, and then it just runs in the background forever, like unless I uninstall it or or force it to close.
00:36:28
slimeballsteve
Yeah, is there no way to ah like turn that off from your startup launchers?
00:36:30
fart souls
The only way to turn it off is you have to exit out of it. You have to either uninstall the whole thing, or you have to exit out of it and then disable it in Windows from being part of the startup your startup apps, which feels bad.
00:36:45
fart souls
Because like the worst the worst thing is it's just running, even though I'm not playing the game.
00:36:50
slimeballsteve
It's like we're just here to just like look at you while you're doing everything you're doing.
00:36:52
fart souls
So like why yeah like when I load up Elden Ring, pop like The anti-cheat software thing pops up.
00:36:59
fart souls
So it's like, this is the anti-cheat software for Elden Ring.
00:37:02
fart souls
It is starting now because you have chosen to start playing Elden Ring. This is why the anti-cheat software is running. It's not just running forever, even though you're not playing Elden Ring right now.
00:37:15
fart souls
It's running now because you're playing Elden Ring. With this, it's like, oh, and when you start Windows, it's running. And if you're not even playing the game, it's still running.
00:37:24
fart souls
And I really don't like that.
00:37:28
fart souls
So I looked it up and they're like, people are like, oh, yeah, it's not that big. Like, you know, all the fucking all the fucking valorant like degenerates and legal legends like at addicts are like, oh, it's not that bad.
00:37:38
fart souls
It doesn't take up that much ah processes of your of your of your Windows tasks. And it's like, that's not the fucking point, dude. Like the point is like, why does this have to run if I'm not playing a a riot game right now?
00:37:46
JackinPhoenix
That's weird.
00:37:50
fart souls
Yeah, it does. It's it's super intrusive and and I don't like it.
00:37:55
JackinPhoenix
You can't be trusted to play this video game. You have to keep this on.
00:37:58
fart souls
Yeah, I mean, yeah, if anything, if I am going to play this game, this is the first time that I'd probably just rather just play it on console than PC.
00:38:06
slimeballsteve
You don't have to deal with that bloat. Yeah.
00:38:08
fart souls
Yeah, because I don have to deal with this garbage like I don't want to fucking deal with this.
00:38:11
JackinPhoenix
Is it coming to console?
00:38:13
fart souls
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's coming to console and and and it's free to play, it's free to play.
00:38:15
slimeballsteve
Is this right? It's first console game.
00:38:20
Devon Kopete
Maybe, yeah.
00:38:21
fart souls
Actually, yeah, because I can't imagine it not. That would be a really bad move if it was if it was PC only.
00:38:27
slimeballsteve
That's where most fighting like fighting communities go. It's like they bring like consoles tournament.
00:38:30
fart souls
Yeah, yeah it's ah it's out for a place. It's going to be it's coming up for PlayStation, Windows and Xbox. Yeah, because I because like if if you're going to be a fighting game. That wants to be played in tournaments, then you got to have you have to be out for console to just that's just how it is.
00:38:48
fart souls
But yeah, so. Socks. I really liked the big dude, the big bald dude with a mustache, brawn, like he was really cool.
00:38:55
Devon Kopete
the With the little shield thing that he swings around I bet No, you know, i feel I feel bad because like I got the code and then I just haven't
00:38:58
fart souls
Yeah, and I liked Elowie, the Cthulhu tentacles. She's another big grappler too.
00:39:09
fart souls
It's a fun game, Devin. It's just like, why why do you have to do this shit?
00:39:15
fart souls
You could probably you could you could do it. I mean, I think the the window might be done tomorrow or something, but you could you could you could you could install it on PlayStation, I think if you wanted to alpha.
00:39:24
Devon Kopete
Yeah, no, it asked me, it was like, what console do you want it for? And I was like, oh, this one.
00:39:28
Devon Kopete
And they gave me a code I just haven't gotten around to.
00:39:32
Devon Kopete
And I'm pretty much off all this week too, so.
00:39:35
fart souls
It's free to play, so like that's the one thing that's going for it, and I don't think it's. I mean correct me if I'm wrong if you know but I don't think it's like the killer instinct is this model where like you just get one character if if it's free to play like I think you get all the characters I think yeah I mean yeah they're just gonna like this is the other thing that's fucking that's fucking scummy
00:39:55
slimeballsteve
It's probably just gonna be like, nutso cosmetics and stuff like that.
00:40:04
fart souls
It's a fucking alpha. It's not even a beta. It's an alpha alpha testing and they have a fucking you can buy like a fucking season pass for it. Like they have a battle pass for it. And it's like, come on, guys.
00:40:14
Devon Kopete
I hate that stuff.
00:40:14
fart souls
Like, come on. like in that You're going to release that now. Like, and I guess they maybe they know there's a lot of discourse, too, in the fighting games community, too, just because a lot of people, I guess, you know, riot is a huge, huge company like it's its own industry legal legends and valorant are very popular like they are very um very played by millions of people and i guess a lot of people since this is a riot fighting game like this is like their first fighting game and like one of the viral tweets that went out was like oh man i just lost 25 games in a row like maybe i just maybe just this isn't for me so i'm just i'm not going to play this game and he was getting fucking flanked because it's like
00:41:02
fart souls
oh Like this is clearly your first fighting game you've ever played in your life if you're giving up after losing 25 times like come on dude like like you it's not League of Legends where you know where you could just like I mean, I don't i don't know how League of Legends is but like it's not like one of those games where it takes a while for a game to complete and then you get it you can win you could figure out how to win um like
00:41:24
slimeballsteve
Right. You're not playing a 45 minute match and losing 25 times.
00:41:28
fart souls
Yeah, it's a fucking fighting game. Yeah, it's like a match could last literally like 30 seconds if if if you're not if you don't know how to play the game and you're going to lose.
00:41:37
slimeballsteve
The thing is, it's like those people probably aren't going to be like the audience for a fighting game.
00:41:44
fart souls
No, but I mean, I think the thing is is like. I think a lot of people expected it to because it's a riot fighting game, you know, like people I'm sure there were a lot of people that played League of Legends religiously that didn't play shooters before.
00:41:59
fart souls
And then when Valorant came out, they became Valorant players.
00:42:02
fart souls
You know, like i'm I'm sure that's how it is. I've cousins that are that have been playing League since it was born that started playing Valorant 2 that are asking me about 2XKO because because I play Street Fighter and they've never they've never played fighting games before.
00:42:18
fart souls
And I'm like, I mean, I was like i'm like, I don't know anything about this game, like it looks cool.
00:42:23
slimeballsteve
In my head, it's interesting because it's like since it is like.
00:42:23
fart souls
But, you know,
00:42:27
slimeballsteve
2v2 and like you can fight at the same time like Doesn't it doesn't that mean one player one player could just carry the other player?
00:42:30
fart souls
It's cool. Yeah, that's a cool thing. You've never really had that.
00:42:37
slimeballsteve
Even if they did kind of stink Mm
00:42:37
fart souls
Yeah, but like, no, but the thing is like, yeah, like the way this is is like I think your health bar is kind of like it's kind of like Marvel's Capcom.
00:42:47
fart souls
So you can't really like if you're playing against a team of two that that that fight well together, then you're just going to get you're just going to get killed.
00:42:54
slimeballsteve
-hmm Okay, yeah
00:42:56
fart souls
Right. um Because like A lot of the mechanics, it seems like, are have to do with playing together and tagging at the right time and you know basically knowing how to play.
00:43:08
fart souls
It's really interesting because, it's again, it's like kind of new.
00:43:11
fart souls
like you never It's not like Marvel versus Capcom was you played three people on one team that played one character each. you know that's That would have been cool to but to to try.
00:43:21
slimeballsteve
Oh, dude, that would be kind of sick if they did that in like the collector's edition or the can whatever they're doing soon.
00:43:24
fart souls
I know, right? i mean
00:43:28
fart souls
with the new one with the the Marvel Marvel ah Capcom fighting collection or whatever.
00:43:33
slimeballsteve
Collection. Yeah.
00:43:34
JackinPhoenix
Thanks for the election.
00:43:35
fart souls
Yeah. Yeah, I mean, yeah, like, yeah, I guess I guess ah one player could carry if if they're really that good. But um like, I feel like you just can't blow it off easily.
00:43:48
fart souls
Or there's probably like a mechanic where you can like knock them out, like because they have that and in Marvel, too. where you could you could springboard ah a character out and
Fighting Games: Nostalgia & Adaptation
00:43:57
fart souls
locks that character out for a set number of time.
00:43:59
fart souls
You know, in Marvel vs Capcom, you could um you could hit that button to kick Jean Grey out for 30 seconds and then the next person comes in. You can't even assist with her.
00:44:10
fart souls
Also, there's the assist stuff, too. It's really cool. um Another weird thing is like there's no like motion controls like everything is like. Forward, it's like it's all modern.
00:44:22
fart souls
Street Fighter controls, basically. So it's like um there's no like a token motions or or charge motions or or anything like it's very.
00:44:28
slimeballsteve
Oh. Oh, they're they're doing the modern.
00:44:32
fart souls
Yeah, for some for special for special moves and stuff like it's very like, you know, it's just, you know, it's very kind of I don't want to say bare bones because the game is very like.
00:44:32
slimeballsteve
Yeah, you weren't.
00:44:44
fart souls
Flashy and because, you know, Marvel first Capcom is like. Play is way different than Street Fighter. It's like super fast and like 95 hit combos and stuff.
00:44:55
fart souls
It's like it's like that, you know.
00:44:56
slimeballsteve
It sounds like they're trying to tow that line between like ah like the fighting game community and like smash where it's like anybody could kind of grab a controller and yeah.
00:45:05
fart souls
Yeah. Oh, yeah, I could smash. Yeah, could smash. You could have to be to write. You could have teams and smash. Gross. Yeah. Yeah.
00:45:13
slimeballsteve
They're trying to out multiverse, multiverse.
00:45:13
fart souls
And it's very. And then, like, Smash yeah and smash Bros. brose doesn't have, like, Hadoken motions and shit either, you know, so...
00:45:20
slimeballsteve
Unless if you're playing one of the fighters.
00:45:23
fart souls
Oh, that's true. playing Playing Terry Bogart or Ryu or Ken. But yeah, um... Yeah, it's it's fun.
00:45:35
fart souls
But, um... There's also, like, a lot of, like, buggy things, too. Like, there's a there's literally a touch of death for, like, every character, it seems.
00:45:44
slimeballsteve
Oh, do you find, do
00:45:44
fart souls
which is which is like which is like you you get one combo and you could kill somebody with one combo like if you hit the buttons of the room.
00:45:50
slimeballsteve
you find a lot of people were doing that stuff?
00:45:53
fart souls
I wasn't playing online much. I was just doing training mode because, you know.
00:45:55
slimeballsteve
Okay. Hmm.
00:46:00
fart souls
ah There's really no point to play against somebody. I mean, I guess there is, but like, you know, I was just like trying to just get used to the the system and because I'm not really I'm very Like, I'm not good at starting other fighting games that aren't Street Fighter.
00:46:18
fart souls
Like, I just can't.
00:46:19
fart souls
My brain is just not wired that way. So.
00:46:21
slimeballsteve
No, I'm I'm kind of in the same way whenever I try to play a game that is outside of Street Fighter, I just kind of just start button mashing.
00:46:27
fart souls
Yeah, it's like, yes, you just we just know.
00:46:29
fart souls
Yeah, yeah. Even like just the basics. Like, i so my brain, it's like trying to learn another language, you know, like, I don't know.
00:46:38
slimeballsteve
Do you remember when we started doing the. um It was the ah ah what was it when we were just like playing games and we would do like the lingering stairs. We were doing lingering stairs and we like started like renting a bunch of fighting games that were like outside the street fighter purview.
00:46:54
slimeballsteve
And I remember once was the ah the persona for fighting game.
00:46:58
fart souls
oh Yeah persona for What's it called?
00:47:04
slimeballsteve
I don't remember.
00:47:04
fart souls
so Arena or something.
00:47:04
slimeballsteve
It was like P4A or something, maybe. Yeah, that's what it was.
00:47:09
fart souls
Yep persona for you. Well,
00:47:12
slimeballsteve
But like I remember that and that sort of seems like the same idea where it's like, what if we got the people who were into like our RPGs to get into the fighting committee?
00:47:19
fart souls
that's how that's how all the anime that's how all the anime fighting games are right now like
00:47:24
JackinPhoenix
Yeah, I push back hard on this because like whenever I see like guilty gear, I just it's so busy. I just can't focus on the fucking screen.
00:47:31
fart souls
Yeah, because ah that's the thing. Like, yeah, I mean, that's how I was with Dragon Ball fighters, too.
00:47:37
fart souls
It's just like there's I don't know. Some people are just like are wired that way. like I'm just I just can't.
00:47:42
slimeballsteve
Devon was innately good at that game.
00:47:45
Devon Kopete
Yeah, that was one i actually. But that's the thing, right? I think to John's point, it's like I wasn't really locked in any other fighting games. I was like, oh, this is the one I'm going to learn.
00:47:54
slimeballsteve
That's fair.
00:47:54
fart souls
Yeah, this is the one I want to learn.
00:47:55
Devon Kopete
And then I and then I kind of just got acceptable at that.
00:47:59
fart souls
I'm telling you, man, I tried.
00:48:00
Devon Kopete
And then and then it got too hard.
00:48:00
fart souls
I tried with Tekken, tried to learn how to play Tekken. I can't.
00:48:05
fart souls
And it's not even a 3D, 2D thing, because like cause like Soul Calibur and Dead or Alive, like I was fairly good at those games.
00:48:05
slimeballsteve
Have you heard of Eddie Gordo?
00:48:13
fart souls
I mean, I don't want to say I was good at those games, but like I played those games pretty regularly and understood how they worked.
00:48:20
fart souls
But Tekken, it's kind of like in the virtual fighter mode, where it's like, so
00:48:25
Devon Kopete
I only play Tekken ever for the story.
00:48:27
JackinPhoenix
It's too stiff. It's too stiff, Tekken.
00:48:31
slimeballsteve
Strangely enough, Soul Calibur was the weird one that kind of like in the 3D fighters. That was fine.
00:48:37
JackinPhoenix
Yeah, I think that worked because I think it was a little bit faster than most of those 3D fighters.
00:48:37
fart souls
So it's all caliber too.
00:48:42
fart souls
I think it was a good game too.
00:48:43
JackinPhoenix
3D fighters, yeah, well, that's fine.
00:48:44
fart souls
It's all caliber too.
00:48:45
JackinPhoenix
3D fighters, to me, feel really stiff whenever I play them.
00:48:48
slimeballsteve
There were so many times in like old 3D fighters, virtual fighters specifically, like you would jump over your opponent and your character would have to do like a whole like spin around animation that was like so slow.
00:48:59
fart souls
Yeah, they got to turn around.
00:49:00
JackinPhoenix
Awkward and weird.
00:49:00
fart souls
Yeah, I mean, that's how Tekken is.
00:49:02
fart souls
If you get behind them, you can hit them in the back of while while they're just like trying to turn around.
00:49:09
fart souls
or Like you have to do a back roll or something. I don't know the tech like just trying to learn Tekken was like kind of like it was really like learning fucking Arabic because Yeah, cuz like for me, it's like oh I know light medium-heavy But for Tekken, it's like this is your left arm.
00:49:17
slimeballsteve
Cause like your brain's trying to do those crossovers and like, yck you can, like, it's like, there's so many things that don't transfer over to it.
00:49:29
fart souls
This is your right arm It's button is your left leg and this buttons your right leg and depending on what side you are and The left or right leg could be the light attack or the heavy attack. and I'm like, what the fuck?
00:49:40
slimeballsteve
Give me a quap fighting game.
00:49:42
fart souls
And not only that, yeah, but not only that, but like you got to know that like, you know, going and holding the up button will make you or down button will make you move in a 3D space, too.
00:49:42
slimeballsteve
That's what it is.
00:49:55
fart souls
Which is kind of weird. Like that's like another thing to add to mental stack.
00:50:00
fart souls
But I don't know. I don't know. I wish I was like rain and I could just learn any fighting game.
00:50:08
fart souls
And be good at it like him. But no.
00:50:12
slimeballsteve
Well, he eats two lobsters a day, like he can't help himself.
00:50:15
fart souls
Actually, dude, every time like we get we get always haircut at near the place where we took a rain to eat all that sushi that one time when he came to visit Steve, do you ever eat so much?
00:50:26
slimeballsteve
Oh, Teppanyaki, yeah.
00:50:30
fart souls
He ate so much fucking sushi that that night, man. I like I just really remember. I'm like, oh, this is the place where we were. Rain ate like two hundred dollars worth of sushi in one night like.
00:50:41
slimeballsteve
Kid was like, five feet nothing, 100 pounds soaking wet, put down like 100 pieces of sushi, no problem.
00:50:41
fart souls
It's just fucking crazy.
00:50:44
JackinPhoenix
Put it away.
00:50:46
fart souls
He's like, yeah, yeah.
00:50:50
fart souls
Oh, man, that was so funny. But yeah. Yeah. Rain is can play Tekken. He can play. I don't know if he can play Guilty Gear.
00:51:00
slimeballsteve
He's not allowed to play any games of the new one.
00:51:00
fart souls
I wish I could play to go to your guilty care looks so cool. It's what it's always been one of the like every guilty gear that I've ever seen or had Okay, and Yeah, but like that's the problem Chris is like yeah, there's too much shit going on But like it looked all the shit that's going on looks so cool that I wish I could play you know Yeah,
00:51:06
JackinPhoenix
See that's, that's, I can't, I can't play those games. They're just too, it's too much shit. It's too much shit going on.
00:51:19
JackinPhoenix
I guess I, it's like, I can't focus. It's just all this nonsense all over the screen. and
00:51:26
fart souls
I mean I feel like sometimes I
00:51:26
slimeballsteve
It makes me realize I wouldn't be good in an anime. Like I'd be the guy who died to like the super fast guy.
00:51:30
fart souls
I mean, so I also feel like sometimes when we would even play, when we were playing Smash Bros like all the time, like every day, like I feel like I would just like lose my place. Like I would like to lose where I am and the Smash Bros map i just like like.
00:51:41
JackinPhoenix
Yeah, they used to happen.
00:51:43
JackinPhoenix
Especially if there's like items on and and you're just, the shit's happening.
Critique of the Alien Franchise
00:51:48
fart souls
well, that's why I never like playing with items.
00:51:48
slimeballsteve
yeah When they added the the eight player smash, that's when it got real hard to track.
00:51:55
JackinPhoenix
Yeah, that was nonsense.
00:51:56
JackinPhoenix
It's pure chaos.
00:51:59
JackinPhoenix
I, yeah, it's, I have a lot of rules, I guess, with fighting games and I'm not like, I, he's as big a fan of them as I used to be, but, um, There's a lot of stuff holding me back from a lot of these
00:52:14
fart souls
Well, I don't know if you love League of Legends, Chris, but 2XKO, if you do, that might be the game for you.
00:52:21
slimeballsteve
hmm. Well, here's the question. What universe or thing, if it got a fighting game, would like kind of turn your attention to it and be like, all right, I might mess with that.
00:52:34
slimeballsteve
Kind of like what they did with Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Fighter.
00:52:40
JackinPhoenix
See, I like the idea of a Smash Brothers game.
00:52:44
fart souls
I already have that game. It's Street Fighter. So.
00:52:47
Devon Kopete
If they made Street Fighter into a fighting game bro They made that Nina Williams beat him up game a Street Fighter Wait
00:52:50
fart souls
I would be a bug played for I would put four hours into that game in a year.
00:52:58
slimeballsteve
Resident Evil fighting game.
00:53:01
fart souls
I mean, you had that yeah there you yeah you had Resident Evil characters in Marvel's Capcom.
00:53:02
Devon Kopete
does it have to be a video game franchise?
00:53:04
slimeballsteve
No, no, I'm saying video games, movies. like Chris, I could give you a heckin' Barry Lyndon fighting game.
00:53:15
JackinPhoenix
Oh that persona that persona 3d fighting game that I was always cooking for a while thinking about where you're fighting yourself I Don't know it's tough
00:53:16
fart souls
Give me a Twin Peaks fighting game.
00:53:22
fart souls
Well, because I don't know, man, like fucking.
00:53:24
slimeballsteve
Yeah, it was me.
00:53:25
fart souls
um Fucking Def Jam Fight for New York was a fighting game. That's pretty cool. They already made that game.
00:53:33
Devon Kopete
Yeah, do that rules.
00:53:36
Devon Kopete
ah Easy, easy. You do a Warhammer one, make them all the prime marks, fight and gain, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, easy, easy mode.
00:53:42
slimeballsteve
Dude, we'd never see Devin again.
00:53:43
JackinPhoenix
never see them and again
00:53:45
fart souls
All the souls born games put them in a fighting game out in a 2d fighting game Now just the same characters
00:53:48
Devon Kopete
You know what with that? Wait, wait, you guys tell me. Could that work? Could you do a Soulsborne fighting game?
00:53:51
JackinPhoenix
I don't know that's weird like if you what use the same engine as I guess I guess The old Italian versus the rotten lady yeah, I think
00:53:57
Devon Kopete
I don't know. You have like Malania, Malania versus fucking Father Gastonie or whatever, like you're the bosses, right?
00:54:03
slimeballsteve
Oh, yo, bro.
00:54:11
JackinPhoenix
and be cool, I guess.
00:54:13
JackinPhoenix
I like him.
00:54:13
Devon Kopete
I'm just saying, like, right, games comes coming up, right? Chris you're sitting there picking your nose and like that trailer drops you'd be like okay Chris you're gonna tell me you wouldn't be you wouldn't be like 80% interested I played it for all I needed to dude
00:54:20
JackinPhoenix
I'm just not as into. I'm just not as into fighting games.
00:54:24
slimeballsteve
to To be fair, to be fair. yeah been Devin, are you still playing Energize? God bless the ring.
00:54:31
JackinPhoenix
Yeah, come on, Deb. Whip out your inner guys. Whip out your inner guys. Show everybody what it looks like. All right.
00:54:38
Devon Kopete
I got I played it until I unlocked Tifa and cloud and I was like this game still stinks
00:54:43
slimeballsteve
No Sephiroth?
00:54:46
Devon Kopete
but He's not in it, is he?
00:54:47
slimeballsteve
He's not in it, he's not in it.
00:54:47
JackinPhoenix
Hey, you know what i game I would be interested in anymore?
00:54:50
slimeballsteve
God bless the ring.
00:54:51
JackinPhoenix
It would be an alien fighting game because I think I'm fucking done with that franchise as a whole.
00:54:56
slimeballsteve
You're done with it?
00:54:57
JackinPhoenix
I kind of think so, man. Like if this is where we're going with it, because all right, to preface this.
00:55:02
slimeballsteve
Were we crossing over into Romulus?
00:55:06
JackinPhoenix
I yes, we need Devin had a little day date and wanted to go see Alien Ram my anus. Is that what it's called?
00:55:15
Devon Kopete
Or Romulart, you know.
00:55:16
JackinPhoenix
Oh, that explains.
00:55:18
Devon Kopete
the The uncrowned Wolverine villain that everyone hates.
00:55:24
JackinPhoenix
yeah Is he, is a villain named Romulus?
00:55:26
Devon Kopete
There's a Wolverine villain named Romulus and he's like, he's peak bad, he's peak bad Wolverine storytelling.
00:55:29
JackinPhoenix
Oh, I guess the remiss is he's ring.
00:55:34
Devon Kopete
Yeah, it's really bad.
00:55:34
JackinPhoenix
Well, speaking of peak bad storytelling, um Alien Romulus is a movie in which they took every other alien film uh, threw it into a blender and a weird blob, an uneven blob came out.
00:55:53
JackinPhoenix
Um, I, I'm just kind of tired of alien movies, at least these types where it's just constant fan service and just like trying to ram in stuff that didn't work in other movies in, into it.
00:56:03
slimeballsteve
Hmm. Is this the first Disney alien?
00:56:11
JackinPhoenix
I think so.
00:56:12
JackinPhoenix
I believe so. I'm not like, it's kind of hard for me to focus on the movie because I was just like, I don't care about any of this stuff anymore. Like I've seen the the the capitalism gone wrong thing a lot.
00:56:27
JackinPhoenix
That trope has been played out a lot, a lot of media.
00:56:30
JackinPhoenix
And Weyland Yutani is such an incompetent corporation in general, just because of all the failures that they constantly have.
00:56:40
JackinPhoenix
Like it's getting to the point of like, satire to me and I Will admit this film had a few pretty solid performances one in particular.
00:56:54
JackinPhoenix
I think the only really solid performance was um Andy the the cybernetic man that is in this film the Android Yes
00:57:00
Devon Kopete
Yeah, the the Android.
00:57:03
slimeballsteve
hasn't that Hasn't that been how it's been in the past like seven alien movies that they've tried to do?
00:57:03
fart souls
Andy the Android does his name.
00:57:09
JackinPhoenix
Yes, it has because the Android seems to have the only likable characters in these movies.
00:57:14
Devon Kopete
He has he has he has like the most character growth slash is the best character in.
00:57:21
JackinPhoenix
Easily. I mean, everybody else is kind of an asshole and it just kind of devolves into the normal alien tropes that have been, you know, replayed over and over and over and over.
00:57:36
JackinPhoenix
Um, I, there are some interesting aspects to it that I felt like little, little pearls of creativity here and there, but it just didn't save. It's the overall, it was very uneven film.
00:57:49
JackinPhoenix
And, um, the end, I, you know, I heard from some people, some reviews online that it was the first half was a bit of a slog. And then the end is kind of where it wows.
00:57:59
JackinPhoenix
Yeah. And I didn't feel that way at all.
00:58:01
slimeballsteve
It never, it never pulled back for you.
00:58:01
JackinPhoenix
Like it just, it's just it.
00:58:05
Devon Kopete
See, I think
00:58:06
JackinPhoenix
I don't think the first half was as big a slog as everybody says it was. Some good stuff there.
00:58:12
JackinPhoenix
But then it just gets turns into nonsense.
00:58:16
Devon Kopete
Yeah, I'll be honest, i I liked most of it until the end and I was like, all right, I did not like the thing at the end.
00:58:27
JackinPhoenix
No, i I did not like the thing at the end. I did not like a
00:58:31
Devon Kopete
You felt, you seem like you were at least more energized by the end.
00:58:35
JackinPhoenix
I guess because it started to get a little scary and I was like, okay, fine.
00:58:35
Devon Kopete
You were like, okay.
00:58:40
Devon Kopete
Yeah, that's fair.
00:58:40
JackinPhoenix
Let's, let's play the game.
00:58:41
Devon Kopete
That thing is pretty fucking scary, you know?
00:58:43
JackinPhoenix
But it just, I got a look at its face and it looked like the fucking engineer.
00:58:50
JackinPhoenix
And I was like, come on, man.
00:58:52
Devon Kopete
Yeah, like, you know what, like without going in hard in the spoilers, it's this Steve, just think of the end of Alien Resurrection.
00:59:03
Devon Kopete
That is like kind of that.
00:59:06
slimeballsteve
You weren't kid when you said they put this movie in a blender.
00:59:08
Devon Kopete
Yeah, and like the thing is, is like.
00:59:08
JackinPhoenix
yeah so you see what do what do we see in this film we see the black goo we see that weird alien fucking thing that from the end of alien reservoir basically the plot of the end of rail alien resurrection we see android another android from a previous film uh who i really that character could have been
00:59:32
JackinPhoenix
anything else but that. and I think I would have enjoyed it. It was so stupid and kind of sad and shameless. Yes.
00:59:40
Devon Kopete
Yeah, and to clarify, so they for whatever reason. uh felt like they needed to utilize the likeness of Ian Holm who played Rook in the original Alien and they just like I guess because it's like of the model right it's the science android model but it's just like it's clearly like they've like deaged and they're just using this guy's face and it's like
01:00:08
Devon Kopete
It's extremely unnecessary. It's like I don't understand why they felt like they need to do it because it it seems ghoulish.
01:00:18
Devon Kopete
It doesn't seem like even necessary. Like they could have easily recasted it.
01:00:21
JackinPhoenix
Like you could have, you could have, you could have, you could have just not had his character in it at all and had mother doing everything.
01:00:29
Devon Kopete
Yeah. Or just like if you really want to use an Android. ah It could be a different model. You could just use a different actor.
01:00:38
Devon Kopete
Cause it's very obvious too. It's like very obvious. It's like not great CG using this guy's face.
01:00:43
JackinPhoenix
I think that one of one of the scarier moments in Hallian is when Ripley is in the mother room and typing and she's like, can we go? Can we leave in quarantine? It's like against protocol. I mean, she finds out that there they're completely, what's the word?
01:01:03
JackinPhoenix
they're They're basically sacrificial. you know They don't matter and they they're gonna be murdered ah by this creature. they like The mother only cares about the creature. There's something about not showing anything that a creature or a robot that is mother, it's just text on a screen that she's reading and it's way more effective than Ian Holmes face in every video screen yelling at everybody.
01:01:30
JackinPhoenix
like it's And it looks bad and it's just, yeah, it's everything that Devin said. It's shameless.
01:01:36
Devon Kopete
Yeah, and it's like it's distracting.
01:01:37
JackinPhoenix
Doesn't need to be in there.
01:01:37
slimeballsteve
That's unfortunate.
01:01:38
Devon Kopete
Like it didn't it just like didn't need to happen.
01:01:42
Devon Kopete
And it's just like, oh, OK. OK, I guess.
01:01:47
JackinPhoenix
Yeah, I'm going to keep us short. i This is a kill for me.
01:01:51
JackinPhoenix
I was not a fan of this at all.
01:01:52
Devon Kopete
Yeah, I think.
01:01:53
fart souls
And a kill a lot of people were saying that it was like good, I guess.
01:01:55
Devon Kopete
No, that's I like this more than Chris.
01:01:55
slimeballsteve
Yeah. I saw it had to 81 on rotten tomatoes, but you know, I'm kind of in the same boat.
01:01:59
Devon Kopete
Yeah, I definitely.
01:02:01
slimeballsteve
I understand too.
01:02:02
Devon Kopete
I don't really like this more than Chris, and they do play the hits.
01:02:06
fart souls
Did you like it more than Prometheus is my question.
01:02:09
Devon Kopete
I did. Prometheus pisses me off dude.
01:02:11
fart souls
Well, you Chris.
01:02:14
JackinPhoenix
I guess I like Prometheus for the bigger ideas. That it was trying to do something different.
01:02:20
fart souls
for the for the big buff aliens that they had laying down in their beds.
01:02:23
JackinPhoenix
It's like the fact that it was anything different than and the the same shit over and over again.
01:02:27
fart souls
Then just just reg regurgitated alien tropes.
01:02:30
JackinPhoenix
Yeah, I think I like that more. But it's like they're both terrible movies.
01:02:36
JackinPhoenix
like I don't like either of them at all. And its same can be said for Covenant. Like I kind of group all these three movies together.
01:02:43
Devon Kopete
Dude, covenant is just so forgettable to me.
01:02:45
JackinPhoenix
It's completely forgettable. And yeah, like all three of these movies, I'm not gonna remember this.
01:02:51
JackinPhoenix
It's already fleeting, leaving my memory as we speak. It's, I'm just tired of it, you know? And I feel like, I think Devin said something about it being, maybe bringing the franchise back is like a TV show or something.
01:03:07
JackinPhoenix
That might work better. I just, no more alien movies. So for a man, I'm tired.
01:03:12
Devon Kopete
Well, it's just like there's this weird desire to just make like world build this.
01:03:20
Devon Kopete
And it's just like, I don't know if it needs world building or if it does. It's like, I don't know, just make it a TV show that like because trying to fit all your weird nonsense in to those two alien movies or Prometheus and Covenant is just like didn't really work.
01:03:36
Devon Kopete
Nobody really bought it. like And it all stems from people being creeped out by the space jockey in the original.
01:03:43
Devon Kopete
And it's like, okay, well... And they're they're obsessed with the space jockey race, whatever that thing is. And it's just like it doesn't work. No one really likes it nor are they freak. It's not creepy, not really. um I don't know. It just kind of doesn't work. Again, I liked it more than Chris. I'd say like very soft fuck, just not nearly as good as I was led to believe. And it also felt weirdly um You know, it's a rated R alien movie and it didn't feel nearly as as hard as it could have been.
01:04:22
Devon Kopete
You know, like this is the guy that did the.
01:04:25
slimeballsteve
Evil Dead, right?
01:04:26
Devon Kopete
Yeah, not the recent one, but the one previously, the really hard one.
01:04:29
slimeballsteve
And yeah, that movie's gruesome.
01:04:29
JackinPhoenix
Yeah. The first remake.
01:04:32
JackinPhoenix
Yeah. And I feel like there's a little bit more creativity and a little bit more horror in general in that than there was in this.
Bone Tomahawk Film Discussion
01:04:40
JackinPhoenix
Like it didn't feel, felt like this one was more of a production company thing.
01:04:43
fart souls
Was there really was there really a scene that was like super disgusting that made people throw up in the theaters like some people were saying?
01:04:52
JackinPhoenix
There was one death that was kind of brutal, but
01:04:55
Devon Kopete
I'm thinking, yeah, no, like I heard, I heard about that.
01:04:58
fart souls
Worse than Bone Tomahawk, worse than that scene.
01:05:02
Devon Kopete
Yeah, there's nothing worth.
01:05:03
JackinPhoenix
That's terrifying! Which I would love to talk about next because I did watch that as well.
01:05:10
JackinPhoenix
I know i' I'm new to the new the this movie. I know Devin talked about it at like almost been like a year or two ago and you really liked it. Um, and I, it just was on Netflix and I gave it a shot and good Lord. That movie is, is great. Like I loved everything about it. It's a weird comedy slash horror slash. Like it's a great Western buy with like wonderful actors in it. Like everybody's given their A game and you got Kurt Russell, uh, Patrick Wilson. Um, it was that guy, uh, that was in cabin in the woods and, uh,
01:05:52
JackinPhoenix
He was Jeffrey Dahmer's, Jeffrey Dahmer's father.
01:05:56
JackinPhoenix
Jenkins, he's the bald headed, he's the bald headed fella.
01:05:57
Devon Kopete
Barry Jenkins.
01:06:00
JackinPhoenix
I can't remember his name. I think it's Barry.
01:06:02
slimeballsteve
In the like the facility sections.
01:06:04
JackinPhoenix
Yes, he's one of the guys at the, you know, monitoring the cabin, you know.
01:06:11
JackinPhoenix
And just Richard Jenkins, thank you.
01:06:12
Devon Kopete
Oh, Richard Jenkins. OK.
01:06:15
JackinPhoenix
And ah Matthew Fox,
01:06:21
JackinPhoenix
Matthew Fox, also, who I thought was a pretty terrible actor until I saw this movie. And he's really, really good in it. It's a very dark film about cannibalism in the the frontier. And I get the same vibe from this movie as I would from like Ravenous, which I fucking love that movie too. um Very silly at times and it just works like the weird tone shifts work ah very well.
01:06:57
Devon Kopete
There's something about like.
01:06:57
JackinPhoenix
and they're
01:06:59
Devon Kopete
You know, obviously it's it can be really gory, but it's like the way they shoot it, I guess it's the way they edit it with mixing with like the lack of music and like sound effect.
01:07:13
Devon Kopete
Like it very much feels like imagine if just like and we've all done it right.
01:07:17
Devon Kopete
But like you like actually cut yourself and it's like kind of bad and it's just like it's quick. It hurts. And now there's blood everywhere. And that's like Every scene where they get fucking attacked by these cannibals.
01:07:29
JackinPhoenix
Yeah, the action's really fast. Like everything's fast.
01:07:32
JackinPhoenix
Like the shots, you you don't even see them. Like I remember Matthew Fox's character, like he gets crippled in one scene. And then like I looked over and I didn't see anything exactly what was wrong with him because the scene was so fast him getting crippled.
01:07:49
JackinPhoenix
And then you see his hand like on the ground. And you're like, oh, fuck. His fucking the hand blew off. I didn't see that shit. like it's It's visceral and fast and realistic, the violence.
01:08:04
JackinPhoenix
And you know obviously very scary and gory at times. And Kurt Russell is fucking great in this movie. He's one of the most believable Western actors I think I've ever seen in my life. You know, he's just always, Hateful Eight, Tombstone, this. like He's so believable in those roles. Yeah, I actually think this is better than Hateful Eight, too. Like, Hateful Eight's okay. He's much better. And I think that both movies came out around the same time.
X-Men Krakoa Saga & Marvel Comics Critique
01:08:41
JackinPhoenix
Yeah, I think that's right.
01:08:42
slimeballsteve
Oh man, that movie's almost 10 years old now. Holy smokes.
01:08:45
JackinPhoenix
I know that's something but totally worth your time. Absolutely fantastic.
01:08:51
slimeballsteve
And it's on Netflix now?
01:08:52
JackinPhoenix
It's on Netflix.
01:08:53
slimeballsteve
I gotta check this out then.
01:08:53
JackinPhoenix
Yes. Characterizations is really good. Like I could go on and on about this movie. It's fantastic. Check it out is a Mary by far. I really enjoyed it.
01:09:04
Devon Kopete
and And yeah, there is one really, really rough scene and it's, Top three ways I would never ever want to die.
01:09:12
JackinPhoenix
It's very extensive.
01:09:14
JackinPhoenix
It's very extensive. There's a lot of steps to it that I wasn't expecting It's interesting man um yeah ah real quick to also really well directed to because like I was noticing the sets and the scene the scenery changes as they move on like it starts very lush and Then it starts turning more into like an arid desert as they get closer to the the troglodytes as they're called.
01:09:42
JackinPhoenix
Oh, man, brutal fucking movie, but funny also. Really, really like this movie quite a bit. So check it out. Is that everything that everything we watched?
01:09:56
Devon Kopete
ah Yeah, I think so. Cause like the only thing that I've been doing that hasn't been, uh, video games or movies was I just been I've been digging deep into the Marvel Unlimited catalog and.
01:10:12
slimeballsteve
Oh, you've been reading some of some old school Marvel.
01:10:14
Devon Kopete
Oh, I wouldn't say old school. Well, maybe I don't know stuff from like 2019, 2015.
01:10:21
slimeballsteve
Old school.
01:10:22
Devon Kopete
Oh, yeah, I get on the top rope and I go, oh, let's go.
01:10:24
slimeballsteve
Old school.
01:10:25
Devon Kopete
And then I and then I do the Undertaker move where I walk the ropes. Yeah, I just well, I don't want to say it started with this, but like I have forever been trying to convince myself to like really get into the X-Men Krakoa stuff.
01:10:44
Devon Kopete
And that is such a big intimidating thing to get into. It's it's like it's like I mean, all of the Krakoa saga is like.
01:10:49
JackinPhoenix
Really? How many issues is it?
01:10:56
Devon Kopete
like i like and that But that's if you want to read like everything, right? But like I don't really know, though.
01:11:02
Devon Kopete
That's the thing, right? There's just like a fucking lot. And um so I've been trying to kind of coax myself into it. And and I got Marvel Unlimited a few years ago, and I just kind of stopped using it.
01:11:16
Devon Kopete
And then I was like,
01:11:16
fart souls
Mr. Unlimited.
01:11:17
JackinPhoenix
yeah i said that
01:11:18
Devon Kopete
Yeah, yeah. And so i I read all of the immortal Hulk run, which is very good.
01:11:28
Devon Kopete
um I talked about a few weeks ago, but it's like straight up body horror Hulk, which is pretty cool. But I read all that and then like the Comic Con stuff came out about Doctor Doom.
01:11:39
Devon Kopete
And I was like, you know what, like there was this kind of interesting Doom run.
01:11:39
JackinPhoenix
Yeah, I said that.
01:11:44
Devon Kopete
where he basically took over Iron Man's job like right after Civil War. So I started reading that. And then I was like, I'm lacking context. So I like reread Civil War two, which I just would not really ever recommend.
01:11:59
fart souls
What is Civil War 2?
01:12:00
Devon Kopete
Oh, it's bad. It's bad.
01:12:02
fart souls
Oh man, it sounds horrible.
01:12:02
Devon Kopete
um So Civil War two.
01:12:07
Devon Kopete
Oh, man. ah Civil War two is basically this is when
01:12:13
fart souls
A sequel to Civil War?
01:12:16
Devon Kopete
So, oh, my God. All right. So this is when Marvel was trying. This is like when Marvel was going like real rough, like they were trying to appeal to everyone by removing all of the characters everyone liked and replacing them with like Amadeus show was the new Hulk. Riri Williams is the new Iron Man.
01:12:39
Devon Kopete
ah Steve Rogers is secretly a Nazi like everything that no one liked was like happening all at this time. And Civil War two. Oh, the inhumans were getting like the full push right there instead of mutants. Sorry. And like old man Logan was like the Wolverine because Wolverine I think was dead at the time. Just nothing. Nothing was good and happening in like 2016 of.
01:13:09
Devon Kopete
ah with Marvel. But the idea was the there's this inhuman had a his his power was that he could foresee the future, like full blown foresee the future. and And what he saw had would always come to pass. So Captain Marvel, Carol Danvers was like, oh, this is great. We can use him. ah But then while they're trying to use him ah like roadie dies, war machine dies.
01:13:38
Devon Kopete
Bruce Banner gets killed by Hawkeye because he basically was like, I feel like I'm going to Hulk out and like, I need to be killed in case I Hulk out. And it's just like an Iron Man's like, this is like Iron Man's like, I'm a futurist.
01:13:48
fart souls
I'm gonna Hulk it.
01:13:52
Devon Kopete
This is a bad idea. You know, it's it's minority report. Right. And then they just people pick sides and they get in a big fight. And it's not really good or all that interesting. Like it doesn't even ask. It's so service level, right? Where like I know the original Civil War has a ton of issues, right? I'm not saying it's it's perfect by any means, but like you could put yourself in the position of like, well, if I lived in New York in the Marvel universe,
01:14:26
Devon Kopete
I would like there to be like a little bit of accountability in case like somebody throws my car at Iron Man one day. That would be kind of nice. Where this is just like it's super basic. ah It's basically a character assassination of Captain Marvel. um and And it's just not all that good, but it does end with Iron Man dying. And then again, Dr. Doom's like, well, I'm going to take over. So.
01:14:57
Devon Kopete
I was like, okay, let me read that. and now Now I feel like I can comfortably start reading the the Iron Man stuff where Doctor Doom is that character. So it's just like a nice little, I don't wanna say like memory road, because I'm just reading some bad stuff right now, but that was Bendis.
01:15:15
JackinPhoenix
who wrote who wrote that i'm sorry i was
01:15:17
Devon Kopete
This is like Bendis, I think right before he kind of,
01:15:21
fart souls
The Ben is trying to get that back.
01:15:24
Devon Kopete
Yeah, I don't really get what he was trying to do here, but I I think he went to D.C. like fairly soon after this, you know, and I don't know.
01:15:30
fart souls
Oh, yeah, that's right. Yeah.
01:15:35
Devon Kopete
It was just.
01:15:35
fart souls
Just washed at that point. Marvel was.
01:15:37
Devon Kopete
I was a wash, but it just was not like it was not that good and. But like this is around the time I really fell off like a hard fell off.
01:15:48
Devon Kopete
um I think officially it was secret invasion. So it may have been like 2016, 2017. where I was just like, yeah, like this is just like not for me. I just can't keep up. And then I just kind of never officially fully, you know, kept up with anything again. I would read things here and there, but and I'm not saying I'm going to, of course, but it's just nice that I can now pick and choose. Oh, this was a good run. This was a really good run. And the app isn't like
01:16:19
Devon Kopete
I mean, the UI is not perfect, but if you like literally know what you're looking for, you you can find it. um And yeah, I don't know. It's just ah it's a nice way to just I bang out two or three issues at night and then go to sleep and then kind of just keep going from there. So yeah, right now I'm going to read all about Dr. Doom being ironed, which is hilarious, considered recent offense. But yeah, I think that's it for me and, you know, everything else.
01:16:56
JackinPhoenix
On to the news!
01:16:57
Devon Kopete
Yeah, what do we got? Let me see. Let me see. Let me see here.
Marvel in Fortnite & Upcoming Marvel Rivals
01:17:01
JackinPhoenix
What do we got here, Devin?
01:17:01
slimeballsteve
Speaking about Dr. Doom, I just got two crowns in his Fortnite season. Oh.
01:17:10
JackinPhoenix
I don't know what that means.
01:17:11
Devon Kopete
So it's not like I saw a gift.
01:17:13
Devon Kopete
I saw a gift of Fortnite. And it kind of just seems like it's just a full blown Marvel simulation at this point.
01:17:19
slimeballsteve
it's dude they they This season is is Marvel up the butt, they should call it.
01:17:23
Devon Kopete
Is it just like co-op? Like, is it just co-op like PvE? Or not PvE, but like.
01:17:29
slimeballsteve
I mean, it's it's it's it's still PvP.
01:17:30
Devon Kopete
Do you even are you even are you even trying to get battle royales or whatever at this point?
01:17:33
slimeballsteve
There there are there are there are there are like little like there's like Latvarian high guards that like you can fight and stuff like that. But it is it is.
01:17:41
Devon Kopete
yeah I just see everybody blowing up Doom bots. I'm like, I thought this game was about fighting other players.
01:17:45
slimeballsteve
Well, the thing is, it's like there's things on the map that like if you do it, you get a special power. Like there's an Emma Frost power where you can just like kind of tell where people are on the map.
01:17:58
slimeballsteve
So if you get that power, you're like, oh, okay. If people are trying to be sneaky, you kind of already know where they are. ah There's like a Mysterio power where you can be like special and sneaky and stealthy. ah but But my favorite thing is just the weapons. Like the war machine weapons are so fun. You can like fly around and like just be like an R-solo shooting. But Captain at America's shield is so OP in this game. It is phenomenal.
01:18:25
slimeballsteve
You can block bullets with it. You can charge people and send them flying. And it auto aims when you throw it at people. So like literally just charging at people with the cap shield. if It feels like that Avengers game should have felt, which is wild to say.
01:18:42
Devon Kopete
You know, what's funny is I feel like I'm seeing on Twitter, I'm seeing a lot of people wax poetically about the gameplay in that game. And I'm like.
01:18:51
slimeballsteve
On the Avengers game?
01:18:53
Devon Kopete
Yeah, and I'm like, I got like Captain America was pretty fun to play as in that game.
01:18:57
Devon Kopete
I do remember that.
01:18:59
JackinPhoenix
Who else played that? Was this just you?
01:19:01
slimeballsteve
i I played it with with Devin. We tried. We really tried.
01:19:04
Devon Kopete
We tried and then I was just like, I can only fight the same three robots so many times.
01:19:10
slimeballsteve
By the end of it, you're like, well, you're done. I'm done. we We did the same raid like 50 times.
01:19:16
JackinPhoenix
Well, when's that game coming out?
01:19:19

01:22:47
JackinPhoenix
That's kind of stupid The
01:22:48
Devon Kopete
It's stupid, but also it would also be equally stupid to hear people complaining about that, which let's be honest, they would do that, so. I don't know. I'm kind of, I definitely get it, but I'm also like, yeah, we would definitely see those tweets.
01:23:02
JackinPhoenix
guy with the shopping carts not covered in blades regular shopping cart Clown with the chainsaws not chainsaws anymore
01:23:04
Devon Kopete
This game's problematic. This Vietnam War vest problematic. I hate this.

JackinPhoenix
It's too dangerous.
01:23:14
JackinPhoenix
He doesn't, the chainsaw doesn't fall on his fucking body near Giggle.
01:23:20
Devon Kopete
Wait. So, uh, so how much, so how much for the deluxe edition for this one?
01:23:24
slimeballsteve
I think it's like 60, I think it's just like 60 as opposed to 49.99.
01:23:29
Devon Kopete
Oh, that's right, because it's like a, it is, it is still kind of like a master.
01:23:34
Devon Kopete
Yeah. Okay. Well, good.
01:23:40
Devon Kopete
Good. Fuck it.
01:23:43
Devon Kopete

01:23:44
JackinPhoenix
Bo De Mayo.
Allegations Against Bode Mayo
01:23:48
Devon Kopete
Yeah, so we finally got a little bit of news and it kind of, there's news and then it's, it's news and it's not news because it's kind of what we all thought.
01:24:00
Devon Kopete
and nobody's confirming anything, but there has been some pushback ah from Disney and Bode Mayo's ah side of things about legal action because essentially he was his writing credits were pulled from season two. And that's, I think, what is kind of setting off all this new stuff. And he's stating that It's he was kicked off the show because he made a comment on or he made like a post of a picture on Instagram about Cyclops being gay and Yeah, it was like an animated version of him as Cyclops and Yeah, it was like a gay pride theme fan art and he was fired over misconduct Investigation
01:24:40
JackinPhoenix
Is him as Cyclops, right?
01:24:53
JackinPhoenix
They said egregious misconduct as word.
01:24:56
Devon Kopete
Yeah, yeah, and and Disney's like, well, it was we found a egregious nature of misconduct.
01:25:03
JackinPhoenix
I mean, if any of that is true, that's going to be validated at some point, it's pretty bad.
01:25:09
Devon Kopete
Yeah, I think what they're stating is there were things like he would sexually harass like his assistance multiple times ah he would post ah like I guess only fans content to like other people in the office and he would be like feel free to use this as you know creative references and things like that and
01:25:25
JackinPhoenix
It's been there.
01:25:37
Devon Kopete
Yeah, just like ah no one know one needs to see that, dude. If that's true, that's ah that's pretty rough. And you kind of suck. like And unfortunately, that was kind of the thing we all thought.
01:25:49
Devon Kopete
It was like, yeah, he sounds like he was kind of an extremely talented, but also kind of a monster.
01:26:00
Devon Kopete
I don't know man bums me out across the board because it's like Why do we have to be so good at one thing but also just like? extremely shitty in another scenario, so Yeah
01:26:13
JackinPhoenix
I think probably got to his head a little bit and he was running the show maybe power corrupts you know that's what they say so Sucks, but I mean he wrote season two the and Also heard oh there was another thing too, it's not just the sexual harassment he was taking ah Names off of scripts and putting his name on them Apparently Yeah, I like stealing ideas and Scripts that was the other thing I heard as well.
01:26:28
Devon Kopete
Yeah, and basically it's like he I think he wrote he's behind Unofficially now, but uh, he's bought Oh, that's real bad.
01:26:47
slimeballsteve
Oh, that's a no-no.
01:26:51
JackinPhoenix
He was taking credit for other people's work Um, so maybe, you know, it's a good thing he's gone. There's other talented people in the room that are making it good.
01:26:58
Devon Kopete
Yeah, you know, you you give a guy, you give a guy access to some steroids, a personal trainer and all of a sudden he's the worst dude ever. So.
01:27:10
JackinPhoenix
Shows great though.
01:27:11
Devon Kopete
That was awesome.
01:27:12
JackinPhoenix
Shows great. Show is definitely not getting any more.
01:27:13
Devon Kopete
Give him give him all the awards, but also don't because apparently he sucks.

Devon Kopete
John was talking about.
01:28:05
fart souls
Yeah. Yeah, I'm pumped.
01:28:08
JackinPhoenix
I can only imagine how excited you are about an Eternal Champions movie. Live action too. That's ah very unfortunate.
01:28:18
slimeballsteve
Dude, think about it.
01:28:20
slimeballsteve
Think about it this way. All right, all right, all right. Close your eyes and just imagine, all right? Exterior night, Chicago.
01:28:28
JackinPhoenix
Oh no, I know where this is going.
01:28:30
slimeballsteve
Rain pours down the front of a Cineplex, playing the one movie they have there. Probably something old, something dumb.
01:28:40
JackinPhoenix
Wasn't this supposed to be John Dellinger coming out of there?
01:28:43
slimeballsteve
No, better.
01:28:44
slimeballsteve
Larsen Tyler, ex-cat burglar who worked for the mob in the 20s, steps out of the movies and says, hey, I'm gonna pussyfoot down to the old swing shop.
01:28:56

Make sure I get myself a root beer. And from a portal, like Xavier Pendragon comes out and says, I am a former blacksmith from Salem.
01:29:07
slimeballsteve
We must battle. That for 13 episodes.
01:29:13

JackinPhoenix

Devon Kopete
I'll be honest. Slash is the only one I was actually good with.
01:30:04
JackinPhoenix

Devon Kopete
Like, hey, if this leads me to more eternal champions, which was like you got I could I wasn't good at Street Fighter.
01:30:30
JackinPhoenix
Yeah, happening.
01:30:38
Devon Kopete
But I had eternal champions and I played the shit out of that game. And even though I still couldn't beat it because that came from way too fucking hard, I loved it. So anything.
01:30:50
JackinPhoenix
All Devin, you're getting your flowers.
01:30:52
Devon Kopete
You know, it's about goddamn time.
01:30:54
JackinPhoenix
I hope you enjoy yourself with this terrible movie.
01:30:56
Devon Kopete
ah Yeah, well,
Biopics vs. Documentaries Debate
01:30:58
Devon Kopete
I hope you enjoy yourself with a job, man.
01:30:58
JackinPhoenix
This is gonna be...
01:31:00
Devon Kopete
Biopics are Nick.
01:31:01
JackinPhoenix
I won't! I won't! Because you know what, Devin? Like I said before, all these movies are extended SNL scenes and skits.
01:31:10
JackinPhoenix
That's all I see them now as, these biopics. Just fucking impersonating somebody who is talented and famous and... I don't care about their lives.
01:31:21
slimeballsteve
Would you rather have, would you rather have biopics or more like corporate lore movies?
01:31:28
JackinPhoenix
What the fuck, Corbin?
01:31:29
slimeballsteve
Like, you know, like they, yeah, the product lore movies that they keep putting out.
01:31:29
JackinPhoenix
Oh, ah you're talking like product movies?
01:31:35
JackinPhoenix
I watched Blackberry, no thanks. I don't need any more of that shit either. I am done. Done with this stuff.
01:31:42
Devon Kopete
No, you don't need to know how Walmart was formed.
01:31:46
JackinPhoenix
Make a fucking documentary, Devin.
01:31:46
Devon Kopete
You don't need a Walmart origin movie.
01:31:48
JackinPhoenix
Make them like Walmart documentary like Ken Burns.
01:31:50
Devon Kopete
Dude, I'm so sick of documentaries, man. You know, Netflix, Netflix was ruined.
01:31:53
JackinPhoenix
I watch them. They're good.
01:31:55
Devon Kopete
i give yeah Give me ah a fun buy. I'll take a biopic over a documentary any day at this point.
01:32:00
JackinPhoenix
No, they're bullshit movies that amount to nothing.
01:32:02
Devon Kopete
Netflix has poisoned the well, Chris.
01:32:08
JackinPhoenix
It's just a mass potori acting shit.
01:32:11
Devon Kopete
That's every movie.
01:32:12
JackinPhoenix
No, it's not. It's clearly these movies are always handpicked for acting awards. And it's bullshit because they're not ah original characters. They're just the people that have existed. So it's impersonations. It's not talent. It's shit that happens on SNL. It's bullshit. You suck.
01:32:33
slimeballsteve
He's right.
01:32:35
Devon Kopete
No, I mean, he's definitely
Slitterhead Game & Retro Realms Introduction
01:32:37
Devon Kopete
not wrong. It's just I also equally hate and can't stand documentaries solely due to Netflix just completely watering documentaries down at the point.
01:32:47
slimeballsteve
I want documentary that like makes sure I'm paying attention and gets like wild at the end of it. Like just like, all right, so for 45 minutes of a documentary, it has to be like ah true.
01:33:02
slimeballsteve
but then you can go, you can go off the rails a little bit.
01:33:05
JackinPhoenix
so you You mock, you throw your mock in there. A little mockumentary.
01:33:08
slimeballsteve
Oh, yeah, yeah, you start mocking. Oh, you really care about John Dillinger. Bam!
01:33:17
JackinPhoenix
John Dillinger had a laser rifle that night.
01:33:20
slimeballsteve
He got killed by the eternal champion.
01:33:20
JackinPhoenix
Killed all... yeah ah I'm...
01:33:23
Devon Kopete
Got killed by Larson who came out with the Tommy gun out of the movie theater blew her away Well, we got a we got ah a Slitterhead trailer
01:33:33
JackinPhoenix
What else do we got?
01:33:40
JackinPhoenix
Oh, that...
01:33:42
Devon Kopete
You guys know, that was literally like that.
01:33:44
JackinPhoenix
Sounds like a slur.
01:33:45
Devon Kopete
That dude, Slitterhead was a game that I was like, oh, this looks really interesting because it's made by the the Silent Hill guy, I think.
01:33:46
slimeballsteve
I don't...
01:33:55
slimeballsteve
Oh, I remember hearing about this. Yeah, it was it was a team, but they brought on the, I think it was the designer or pyramid head.
01:34:04
Devon Kopete
Yeah, like there was there was something to it and um I'll be honest, it was The first trailer seemed kind of cool, weird, but kind of cool. And and then there was gameplay footage and that did not look good at all. It looked real. It went from like, oh, this game, you know, sky's the limit. Who knows what this game is going to look like to like, oh, this is going to peak at like a seven. Like this won't be any better than a seven. um And i there's an official story trailer.
01:34:38
Devon Kopete
Looks all right, just figured I'd post it for the Slitter, like I know Chris is a Slitter head, you know, obviously.
01:34:43
JackinPhoenix
Of course I'm a slitter head.
01:34:44
slimeballsteve
The the Slitter Sluts.
01:34:47
Devon Kopete
Yeah, dude, you're a Slitter slut, hard.
01:34:48
JackinPhoenix
I don't even know what's going on. I watched a little of that trailer.
01:34:53
Devon Kopete
Listen, your head splits out and then you just take over somebody's body.
01:34:55
JackinPhoenix
Oh, it's that cartoon, the head.
01:35:00
slimeballsteve
Dude, bring back MTV's the head.
01:35:04
JackinPhoenix
Liquid television, please.
01:35:07
slimeballsteve
That guy's head was huge, Devin.
01:35:09
JackinPhoenix
You had a gremlin living in there. Beep, beep, blow up.
01:35:12
Devon Kopete
ah But no, there's some, there's some other, there's, there's some better things here.
01:35:16
slimeballsteve
I mean, you're Mr. A on flux, Devin. You're the guy who said that was going to be better than the matrix.
01:35:20
JackinPhoenix
This will, this will hit watermarks unlike Citizen Kane.
01:35:24
slimeballsteve
Oh, what about the max? You remember the max?
01:35:26
Devon Kopete
I, yeah, I do.
01:35:28
slimeballsteve
Sorry, Devin. I'm stretching for time right now. I'm sorry, buddy.
01:35:29
Devon Kopete
No, it's fine. You don't have to.
01:35:32
JackinPhoenix
We're an hour and a half. You guys stretch for time.
01:35:34
JackinPhoenix
We need more.
01:35:37
Devon Kopete
So so we have another trailer by a fake company called Retro Realms.
01:35:43
slimeballsteve
Is the company fake?
01:35:43
Devon Kopete
Which, yeah, so I think like Retro Realms, I don't know who's.
01:35:48
JackinPhoenix
real? What's going on?
01:35:50
Devon Kopete
It's like it's real,
Mouse P.I. Game Preview
01:35:51
Devon Kopete
but like I think this is a game where you you can play multiple games within the Retro Realms universe.
01:35:59
slimeballsteve
Okay, you're saying it's like it's like a fake like header I Understand that it is it is cool though.
01:36:03
Devon Kopete
Yeah, it's basically, think of it like ah you know a new a new launcher for your PC called Retro Realm.
01:36:09
Devon Kopete
Oh, I gotcha. But it's just like you go into this arcade and then you'll eventually, like let's say three years from now, you'll be able to play all these different games instead of just, yeah.
01:36:12
JackinPhoenix
I really don't understand.
01:36:13
slimeballsteve
That's this trailer is fun.
01:36:14
JackinPhoenix
I don't understand what you're saying, Devin. I really don't. I'm going to be honest with you.
01:36:25
JackinPhoenix
Oh, I see. I see. So the game interface itself is like an arcade, and there are eyes.
01:36:29
Devon Kopete
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:36:29
slimeballsteve
Right. and But like the retro realms thing is like the banner. So it's like retro realms Halloween. And then there's the other game that they're putting out at the same time called Retro Realms, Ash versus the Evil Dead.
01:36:39
JackinPhoenix
That's kind of cool, I guess.
01:36:41
slimeballsteve
And if you buy both of them, then the characters like transfer over. So like, if you wanted to play like the Halloween game, but as Ash, or ah Dana De Lorenzo's character from Ash versus the Evil Dead, you can.
01:36:49
JackinPhoenix
Oh, that's cool.
01:36:53
slimeballsteve
And if you wanted to play as Michael Myers, or if you wanted to play as Laurie Strode in the Evil Dead game, you can. And it sounds like they're going to keep continuing this after these two games too.
01:37:03
Devon Kopete
Yeah, because the thing is, is if you look, there's a there's like. arcade cabinets that have blankets on them, like sheets on them.
01:37:12
JackinPhoenix
How much would you not if one of those cabinets was Predator, Devan?
01:37:15
Devon Kopete
The Predator, Freddy fucking Jason.
01:37:18
JackinPhoenix
Predator 2, specifically.
01:37:19
slimeballsteve
yeah yeah I definitely could see them doing an adjacent one.
01:37:22
Devon Kopete
Yeah, like, dude, just give me all this gore. I like I love it. And like
Rumors & Decline of The Thing's Popularity
01:37:29
Devon Kopete
on top of it, like, you know, it doesn't look pretty good.
01:37:31
slimeballsteve
It looks like a pretty good 2D platforming action sort of thing.
01:37:32
Devon Kopete
Like it's like.
01:37:35
Devon Kopete
Yeah, these are like an hour. Like, I think I think it's like 50 bucks, which isn't super.
01:37:41
slimeballsteve
For like both of them though, right?
01:37:42
Devon Kopete
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:37:42
slimeballsteve
It's like a two two set.
01:37:44
Devon Kopete
Yeah, you get the two set, um but, you know, you get Texas chainsaw.
01:37:48
JackinPhoenix
What's this coming out on?
01:37:49
slimeballsteve
ah PC, PS5, Switch, Xbox, October 18th.
01:37:53
Devon Kopete
Yeah, yeah, yeah, everything this year.
01:37:53
JackinPhoenix
Everything. Okay, great.
01:37:56
Devon Kopete
So it's like, OK, hell yeah.
01:38:00
Devon Kopete
Yeah, I don't know. It was just like, what a fun little surprise.
01:38:04
Devon Kopete
Well, I'm like, oh, this looks dope. Oh, and it's this year. Like, please and thank you.
01:38:09
slimeballsteve
I remember they, they asked John, they were talking about how they were like, we have two Halloween games in the works. And I'm like, oh, this is going to be the thing where they do like, well, we're doing an asymmetrical game. And then it just like dies after a month.
01:38:22
slimeballsteve
But then then they announced this and I was like, that's exciting. I haven't seen this.
01:38:27
Devon Kopete
Yeah, like we don't need. Sorry, guys, so like we don't not every one of these types of games needs an asymmetrical.
01:38:34
slimeballsteve
No, they really don't.
01:38:35
Devon Kopete
You know, it's it's it's one step removed from a from a fucking. Like, yeah, like a multiplayer studio. It's like that's a lot of work, guys, that you just you probably aren't ready for.
01:38:49
Devon Kopete
It's fine. It can be its own, you know, boxed in experience and it can still look really good.
01:38:55
Devon Kopete
um So there's this because. Oh, yeah. And again, like. ah Boston Games, I think, is the actual developer. And then retro realms is like, you know, again, like the thing that is where all these games are going to live.
01:39:11
Devon Kopete
But then I don't know if you guys saw this mouse P.I. game.
01:39:14
JackinPhoenix
That was pretty cool.
01:39:14
slimeballsteve
This does look cool.
01:39:15
Devon Kopete
Yeah, it's it's gives me a Cuphead vibes, like for sure.
01:39:19
JackinPhoenix
First person shooter cuphead.
01:39:21
Devon Kopete
Yeah, first person Cuphead, which is pretty sick. um Yeah.
01:39:25
fart souls
Interesting. Is it gonna be as hard?
01:39:26
Devon Kopete
but Probably not. um
01:39:30
JackinPhoenix
Bulk up is great.
01:39:32
Devon Kopete
Yeah. i Yeah. I mean, yeah, this is just like another another notch on the the boomer shooter belt, which is I'm into like all day.
01:39:35
JackinPhoenix
That's you know.
01:39:43
Devon Kopete
Give it to me. um And but also considering how hard. Like ah that game seemed like Cuphead seemed like it was to make.
01:39:55
Devon Kopete
And this looks pretty authentically like.
01:40:00
Devon Kopete
Oh, that would.
01:40:01
fart souls
Sorry, I had to say, it who's someone's going to say it.
01:40:02
Devon Kopete
wait wait wait okay devil's advocate here what if they were like yeah it is AI and it helped us make this game like fucking five years sooner than it would have taken us like would we be okay with that because like I mean if I'm gonna be that jerk right I'm like oh this game's gonna have like three enemy types because like
01:40:13
fart souls
Nah, fuck that. No. Trash. Washed.
01:40:24
Devon Kopete
Each of these characters probably took fucking six months to make. ah Like, sorry, but no, dude. Yeah, this game looks pretty dope. I'm into it. And then, um oh, yeah.
01:40:37
Devon Kopete
So in I don't know how true this is. Maybe we just want to twist the knife here. But apparently Mads Mikkelsen was in talks with Marvel Studios to play Dr. Doom until they decided they wanted to go to Robert Downey Jr.
01:40:50
Devon Kopete
So obviously, I'm not saying any of us were original by wanting Mads Mikkelsen.
01:40:55
Devon Kopete
But if that's true, it stings.
01:40:59
JackinPhoenix
Yeah, it sucks.
01:41:00
Devon Kopete
It stings real bad.
01:41:01
JackinPhoenix
It sucks that they were talking to him. And as soon as Robert Downey Jr showed up, they're like, let's get the bag.
01:41:06
Devon Kopete
Like, oh, fuck you. Fuck you, dude.
01:41:09
slimeballsteve
If he wasn't already cast in that Doctor Strange movie, they would have instalocked him.
01:41:15
JackinPhoenix
