Casual Conversation and Comic-Con Tease
00:00:31
Speaker
Keep
00:01:25
Speaker
Hey, what's happening? What's going on, man? Not much. Doing good. Not much. I see you're enjoying the outside. Yeah. Nice. Yes. Nice summer day in the sun.
00:01:37
Speaker
ah Busy week this week. Darth Vader drinking the Mausai. Darth Vader. Love it. Busy week with Comic-Con starting. We're going to talk about the first part of it. Next week we'll talk about the second part.
00:01:49
Speaker
But first, I saw this and we have to talk about it when I see some food news
House of Dragon: Plot, Characters, and Speculation
00:01:53
Speaker
that is game changing. I need to talk about it. So let's get into some fat fucks.
00:02:11
Speaker
On this podcast, we tried the spray can ranch and the spray can blue cheese. was not as good as we hoped. It tasted very canned and very processed.
00:02:22
Speaker
However, disgusting they they are coming out with a schmallow. a Dairy-free toastable marshmallow spray can topping. I don't know where this is going to be. I saw it this week, and it seems like a game-changer for s'mores or any other dessert you want to do. thought it kind of cool, but you can toast it. So, um yeah, kind of awesome.
00:02:46
Speaker
Not a lot of food news, but I did want to bring that up because you see something game-changing, you need to bring it up. ah Let's talk about what we watched this week. First, let's jump into House of Dragon.
00:02:56
Speaker
um Great show. This season has been fantastic. A few things we're going to mention. They do mention Dorne. And we know that the Martells are from Dorne. They mentioned that a little bit ah in a backstory. um And, of course, that's where Pedro Pascal got his start way, way, way back. um We see Aegon.
00:03:17
Speaker
is found. He's found out who he is. i can't remember the guy's name um that finds him. He works for the king he worked for the Kingsguard, I remember that, but did find Aegon and the strong the strong guy that's been following around, the imp guy.
00:03:31
Speaker
The gimp guy. Are you there? You think you're cutting out little bit? Yeah, can you hear me? Yeah, your video's gone and you're cutting out. the a little Okay. But yeah, Aegon has been found, um and he's pretty much been told that you're a king, smarten up.
00:03:47
Speaker
um And by the end of the episode, he kind of does. um Darian has been declared king by Ormond Hightower. Kind of a stance on Rhaenyra taking the throne. He's like, yeah, you're not the real royal ah piece of this puzzle, dar Darian is.
00:04:06
Speaker
um allison she attempts to escape king's landing um and we'll get a continuation of how she kind of uh gets stuck in ah in a hallway as she's trying to escape with her daughter um and the very end of the episode maybe you can explain this a little bit more but ormond hightower has been having spies in the middle of king's landing and he took out all the gold cloaks who are the police policing agents of everybody of the of pretty much the royal garden and king's landing um and he takes every single one of them out um and the very end damon goes into a room with all of them sitting at a table reminiscent of like the last supper um and all of their eyes are gouged out and they're all dead on the table and he writes on the wall in blood a feast for traitors um
00:04:55
Speaker
What is this... Without getting into too many spoilers, what what what can we expect? What is this setting up going forward? Of course, that everybody is against Renera. As far as there's people writing on walls that she's a whore of a queen and this and that and and bastard sons and so on and so forth.
00:05:12
Speaker
What can we expect? Especially few more episodes left. Um... It's hard to say because it's been so long so I've read it. um I know Ormond stuff really isn't mentioned too much in the novelization ah so um from what I remember.
00:05:27
Speaker
So it could go either way because most of the stuff is is pretty much everything that happens in King's Landing and it's all hearsay everywhere else.
Life Larry, X-Men 97, and Comic-Con Excitement
00:05:35
Speaker
um So it's really hard to say. Ormond Hightower, by the way, is Marjorie Terrell's great, great, great grandfather, want to say.
00:05:48
Speaker
Yeah, like three or four greats. Marjorie Terrell. She's technically a Hightower. She's the old woman. No, that's Alenia. Okay, okay. Marjorie is the one that marries... Okay, the young... The young girl. yes yeah um Yeah, she's a Hightower, technically.
00:06:06
Speaker
um But yeah. oh man I have no idea where this is going. They're straying from the story. And I was doing the math, and it's... I don't know if they can get to the part I want to see the most in this entire story, which would be the Hour of the Wolf, um with only doing one more season at the current pace. So I have honestly no idea where this story is going to end, um what point they decide to end it.
00:06:31
Speaker
um But after the next season, because it will be the final season, we'll talk about how it ends in the books versus the show, because it's going to be apparently very different. That's what was going to you. So this is, has it been taken the whole season so far? Have we been taking a tangent from the books for the most part?
00:06:48
Speaker
Or is it staying steady on the page? Yes and no. Yes and no. I mean, like somebody like Orban gets more more play than he did in the books. um Next week should be a battle episode.
00:07:01
Speaker
And I know it goes on in that battle. all Okay, that's what i hear. yeah But besides that, I have no idea what's going to happen the rest of the season. um There's still a few key points that I'm looking forward to. um I don't know when they'll happen in this story.
00:07:13
Speaker
um So, yeah, it's kind of cool that surprising people that even like me, like read the book or know the story or know the bare bones of the story. Right. Okay. Yeah, watch that every Sunday. It's great. I prefer it over Game Thrones ah just because of the dragons. I love the dragons. Right. So I cannot wait. I cannot wait every Sunday. usually I usually watch it that night, which is not the same with a lot of shows nowadays. It's usually the next day for me, but that's one show I watch the night of. so um yeah know Life Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness. Larry David, the show is fantastic. i I'm preferring it to Curb just because I love history, but this episode tackled the Watergate scandal.
00:07:56
Speaker
ah Racism in America, starring Henry Ford. Ike Baron-Holz played him. James Buchanan starting the Civil War because he served appetizers at a dinner that the leader of the south the ca birds name the leader of the Southern Army was there and he got pissed off at America so he started the Civil War. um And Kate Asselton I don't know her name but she's from the league um She's a sister of the girl don't know if she still works at the Foxes with you or not um But yeah she was in that episode um Yep Jonas Salk's polio vaccine the very end of it Every episode tackling pieces of history has been great This is on HBO if anybody anyone want wants to watch it I think it's about halfway through now but it's awesome um X-Men 97.
00:08:44
Speaker
I love this show. I know you're not watching it. You're probably going to it at the end. It's fantastic. ah This is a kind of a focus on Polaris, who is the daughter of Magneto. um and this is um and e This is an arc in the comic books where the Danger Room becomes sentient AI and becomes a character named Danger.
00:09:06
Speaker
Actually becomes this heat this moving feminine robot who takes all the aspects of the Danger Room and is a character that goes after the X-Men. Did a fantastic job piecing that together. um And when Polaris and Professor x Xavier come together to fight this ah this monstrosity, this Danger Room incarnate, um the very the very when they defeat it, the very line that they say when they use both of their powers together is A piece of Magnus inside of us is what was what defeated it. um there if We talked about it last season that Onslaught is a spin-off of what Magneto is. and so Basically, the the memories of x Xavier and the memories of Magneto come together in this giant creature that kind of looks like Magneto, has the same helmet, same ah cape, and ah uniform, and everything.
00:10:05
Speaker
And... becomes a character named Onslaught. And I think, and I'm not sure in the comics of it if they do it or not, but there's speculation that in this show, it could become one of the four horsemen. for Apocalypse, since this whole series has been about Apocalypse this season. um We'll get into that in a minute. um We see X-Corp. We see X-Corp.
00:10:28
Speaker
x Xavier starts, kind of as a remembrance of Magneto, who who has been killed, starts X-Corp, which is going to be a global um plan for the for mutants and and mutantkind and rights for mutants. ah But at the very end of the episode, we see the return of Gambit. Gambit gets resurrected by Apocalypse. They take all of his deck of cards and they all turn into tarot cards. As you can see in the bottom right picture there, they turn into tarot cards and they they go onto Gambit's body come kind of like a mummy. They go onto his body and he gets resurrected and becomes alive again. in And we already know where this is going. Apocalypse is trying to find his four horsemen and he becomes numero uno, number one, a horseman.
00:11:14
Speaker
um And the speculation being that the second one or one of the next ones will be Onslaught or a resurrection of magnet Magneto. So, which would be awesome. Because I said Onslaught last season would have been awesome. It have been even better now um if he's one of the four horsemen. So, great season, great series. This is episode six out of nine, I think. So, we've got a few more left. Yeah, awesome. This is on Tuesday nights on Disney Plus if anybody wants to watch along.
00:11:40
Speaker
um I have not watched Stewart Saves the Universe. um This is on HBO. Debut last night's spinoff of The Big Bang Theory, kind of in a sci-fi way of the the world up apocalypse happening. um But I will be watching it probably tonight because I know there are some cameos for the Big Bang Theory in it. I loved the bang Big Bang Theory back in the day. So I'll talk about that next week, the premiere in the second episode. um And Dark Side of the Ring had a great episode with Necro Butcher versus Samoa Joe, something we both didn't really know much about. We know Necro Butcher from the movie The Wrestler, but that was basically it. um Great episode.
00:12:18
Speaker
Talked about their feud. Talked about this kind of underground match that they had in the independents before Joe became famous. Necro Butcher has always been kind of just an independent guy. Talked about his his life and how he had cancer and this and that. But a great episode. Dark Side of the Ring. If you're not into wrestling, if you know the basics of it, if you know the history of wrestling, that they they tackle a lot of great subjects. that are controversial. It's, it's definitely worth watching. I believe they're on who every single episode. Um, very, very, very, very easy to get into. um there are going to be some stuff that you're going recognize about, especially like the Owen Hart episode, the Crispin Y episodes are some of the best television we've seen in a while. so
00:12:59
Speaker
That's great. WWE has their own answer to that. i don't know if you had a chance to watch any of this this week, yeah but there are five new episodes of WWE Unreal. It's on Netflix. Five episodes tackling pretty much the last six months of John Cena from WrestleMania on to his retirement, up until WrestleMania when he returns in this in the in the tuxedo and everything. But First episode was the what called The Y. All about John Cena's final run and AJ Lee, CM Punk's wife's return. um Which was great. The Last Time is Now. That's all about John Cena's final retirement. His match with Gunther.
00:13:37
Speaker
um Rise and Rumble. The third episode is all about the NXT debuts at ah Royal Rumble. um Trick Williams and Obafemi. Of course Obafemi goes to the WrestleMania and does a huge match with Brock Lesnar. Which is awesome.
00:13:52
Speaker
Fourth episode called Life Happens, The Road to WrestleMania. They talk about CM Punk and AJ Lee's dog Larry, R.I.P. Great episode. And the last episode talks about WrestleMania and the last buildup for WrestleMania. CM Punk finally being able to headline the last night final match of the night. for WrestleMania. So it was kind of awesome. Great season. Three seasons on Netflix. and Kind of the watered-down version of what Dark Side of the Ring is in WWE's perspective, but definitely worth watching if you want to see behind the scenes of pulling back the curtain, seeing how they write stories, um how they train, how they have injuries and get have to go have to kind of change paths of how storylines are going. a Very interesting show. Worth watching.
00:14:39
Speaker
um I watched two movies. I don't know if you had a chance to watch Disclosure Day yet. I did put it on our thing that we watch. I did not. I'm not going get into any spoilers, but it's my favorite movie, I think, maybe of the year. i i' there's a lot There's a lot of movies to that I can say that to. um Obsession is definitely up there. This is pretty damn good, too. um The opening of it?
00:15:03
Speaker
No, it's a Spielberg movie, number one. His return to the terrestrial extraterrestrial life. um He, of course, did ah Close Encounters way back in the 70s. He did E.T. in the eighty s This is him returning to kind of talk about what would happen if America disclosed all of their secret files on UFOs. what would How would the world react to that?
00:15:25
Speaker
and that's basically the story the only thing missing in this is i wish there were connections to what happened on earth in his movie universe like it would been great if we saw the files of close encounters be declassified or maybe et be declassified but didn't happen it would have been a great connection um the opening of this there's a wrestling match between lance hoyt and um brian cage we saw in limitless years ago but um Yeah, great movie. four and a Four and a half out of five. um But yeah, I wish he did connect more to his his extraterrestrial universe than he did. But yeah, great movie, though. i loved it.
00:16:05
Speaker
um And the other movie I watched this week, which you know my feelings. I love the Waynes Brothers. I love the first two scary movies are great. um So I watched the new scary movie. I guess it's considered the sixth one, but it's actually just called Scary Movie. um The Waynes Brothers coming back to the franchise for the first time in a while. um Funny.
00:16:23
Speaker
um The same humor as it was before. um We mention it all the time, but I just wish there was better comedies out now. and there's There's not a lot of great comedies.
00:16:34
Speaker
so it's good to see a funny comedy that doesn't really hold anything back and just tackles everything. ah Three and a half out of five, maybe that's being a little bit too generous, but I just love that type of comedy. So yeah, three and a half out of five worth watching just came out. so So we are at Comic-Con season. This is the most wonderful time of the year. We are at Comic-Con season. The first two days have happened. We have a DC panel happening later with Lanterns we'll talk about next week. We have a huge Marvel panel we'll talk about next week, too. That's going happen tomorrow night.
00:17:06
Speaker
um But this week, we started off with... I think the trailer just came out about an hour ago. I did watch it before we came on. um The Lord of the Rings show. Coming back for the third season.
00:17:17
Speaker
on Amazon Prime in November. This is the first kind of thing that came out of Comic-Con was the mer mural on and the front of a building down in San Diego of Sauron holding the one ring that he's forged. This is right out of the trailer. If you saw the trailer today, this is right at the end of the trailer. he pulls up the ring and and shows it to the audience.
00:17:37
Speaker
Awesome. Cannot wait to see this happening. I think there's a huge time jump from the second to third season. We have some Empire covers. for your magazines we got the of course Sauron in one of them we got Gandalf facing off with the giant elephants we got some pictures we got some pictures there from that magazine as well with Gandalf we got a ring wraith which is going be great to see them course those are the kings that become possessed by the one ring and we got another Amazon promo coming out in November 11th so cannot wait for that love that show I love that franchise Also announced during the panel today, the Balrog, who of course you know in the Dwarf Kingdom, in the very Fellowship of the Ring, the Balrog is a big huge horned monster that shoots flames and in the in the in in the halls of the Dwarf Kingdom.
00:18:31
Speaker

00:19:00
Speaker
on display at San Diego Comic Con. Trailer is going to coming out couple hours, so I'm going to be online checking shit all night tonight to see this hopefully being dropped sometime probably around 4, I think I saw 4 or 5. So when we get off of here, we'll probably watch that. Yeah, they're on Pacific Time, so they're behind about four hours. I think it was like 1.30 Pacific. So it should be around 4.30.
00:19:23
Speaker
Maybe 3.30. I can't remember. Maybe it should be airing any time then. So yeah,
Pop Culture Updates and Movie Trailers
00:19:28
Speaker
Lanterns. Cannot wait to talk about that next week. We do have some new Funko Pops of Hal Jordan, Jon Stewart, and Sinestro. We see the first look of Sinestro. So cannot wait for that. Very excited for Lanterns being weekly. New details about the show.
00:19:43
Speaker
Hal Jordan is a test pilot before being recruited to the Lantern Corps. Jon Stewart was a Marine stemming from a military family before joining the Corps. Guy Gardner was a gym teacher before becoming Green Lantern. Sinestro was expelled from the Guardians after an attempted coup. So all of this stuff is comic lore. Jon was handpicked by the Guardians to pick up the mantle in the event anything should happen to Hal Jordan. And the Guardians are concerned about what Hal Jordan may have inherited from Sinestro.
00:20:11
Speaker
And I know there's some comic lore to that we'll make it into when the show starts airing. So cannot wait for that. Got some items we'll talk about on the floor. They're showing some new figures, new statues and stuff. I know you're a huge fan of the question. Sent you this earlier in the week. But McFarlane coming out with a cool question figure.

Looks awesome. And the Lizard from the animated series, the Spider-Man animated series coming out with a Mondo figure. So I love Mondo. Mondo just does a great job with animated figures. um It was announced a couple weeks ago that Legend of Zelda was going to be having a new distribution with action figures starting this year. And they were going debut the first figures and they are
00:21:22
Speaker
They have been revealed. And these are what they're going to be. We got Link. We got Zelda. We got Ganondorf. All coming out later this year.

So cool. um And we got some more figures to talk about. We got Chewbacca. got some Star Wars. We got Batman. and We got an awesome looking Mr. Freeze down there. And we got a Terminator. I'm not sure who makes It looks like it could be McFarlane. But we got Terminator from um from the first Terminator movie. So we don't usually see bigger figures from that movie.

Yeah, doing the voice of the Joker. So, yeah, cannot wait for that show. Loved the first season, so um About an hour ago, they revealed the trailer for Blade Runner 2099 coming out in November. And this is a continuation of the movie series in television form. I believe Amazon Prime, eight episodes all dropping on, i believe, I believe it's the day before Thanksgiving.
00:23:06
Speaker
A series set after a replicant uprising where the humans lost and replicants rule. um Ridley Scott and Blade Runner 2049 co-writer Michael Green consulted on the project. um Hunter Schaefer from Euphoria is starring in it, plays a human pretending to be a replicant. Michelle Yeoh is going to be hunting rogue replicants, and replicants know the day they die, and Yeoh's character is spiraling with spiraling with the date upcoming. It has a noir vibe and of the previous previous projects and everything. So the trailer looked great. So, yeah, I can't wait for that. comes out November. um Johnny Depp showed up outside of the Comic-Con yesterday. um They had it set up outside. looked like old 1800s England. And he comes out it he comes looking through a window as a grungy, crusty old Ebenezer Scrooge.

00:25:01
Speaker
um yeah And they did a panel yesterday, talked about a prequel comic book coming out, and they revealed some character pictures of Sabretooth, a new trailer with Sabretooth and Lady Deathstrike and all that, so it looked awesome. They did reveal that. And before we get into the Avengers of it all, they did reveal this cool statue of Doctor Doom, which looks awesome. And speaking of Doctor Doom, Doctor Doom, Avengers Doomsday everywhere this year. It's going to be the focus of the Marvel panel tomorrow. yeah They revealed all the costumes of the characters in the trail in the trailer that was revealed that we'll talk about in a little bit.

Oh, sorry. Sentinel from the movie. um And we got these cloaked figures. They're named Leverian Witches. First day it was green. Second day it was orange. And today they changed the color to purple. So I'll... Not sure what that means, but it's a Latverian witch from Latveria, ruled by Doctor Doom, of course. so
00:26:13
Speaker
We'll continue that topic later on because the trailer released on Monday morning, surprisingly. um i thought it was awesome i cannot wait this is the first poster from it uh dr doos dr doom standing under a mural um kind of looks like heaven and hell maybe his mother it could be either his mother and him as a child or it could be his his wife and a child not really sure what's depicted on top but um this movie comes out at the end of the year we'll find out more uh let's break it down a little bit At the beginning of the trailer, we see an incursion happening. Two universes colliding together. Charles x Xavier from the X-Men unit of universe is watching this happen from the X-Mansion. And throughout the trailer, we see the X-Men fighting the Avengers. We see Mystique.
00:27:00
Speaker
Of course, Rebecca Romaine from the original series come back. Changes herself into Yelena from the Black Widow movie, The Black Widow. We see Gambit, Channing Tatum, returning, fighting Shang-Chi.
00:27:13
Speaker
which was an awesome scene in the trailer. We see the New Avengers, the Old Avengers, and we see the Fantastic Four meeting up in the New Avengers Tower. We see the Thing shaking hands with the Wakandans. We see the kind of the New Avengers, Fantastic Four group together meeting them. It looks like a desert, but actually, if you look in the background, you see the ocean has been lifted up, either by a force field or something. So that's the bottom of the ocean where Namor is. We see Namor in this trailer as well. um But the focus, the end of this trailer was awesome. We see Doctor Doom, the very first look of Doctor Doom with that with the iconic mask, of course. Thor going one-on-one with him. Thor goes with Stormbreaker. His big, huge axle is made in Endgame. And tries to get get him, tries to get to go for his head. And Doom stops him with two fingers, says, fuck you.
00:28:02
Speaker
You're not going near me. Using, of course, Doom known for using magic. So his magic is obviously stronger than Thor's. So setting up his power, kind of co kind of how powerful he really is End of the trailer, we see Thor saying, that's impossible. He's in a ship saying, that's impossible. And you see the return of Steve Rogers, who was lost at the end of Endgame. Um, goes, grabs the Muramir, Muramir, um, the hammer, um, and proves himself that he is Steve Rogers, the real Steve Rogers, that he's worthy. Um, that's where the trailer ends.
00:28:36
Speaker
It's awesome. Cannot wait to talk about it again a little bit more. We'll talk about it in the end of news, but, um,
00:28:44
Speaker
Is he living his life in the 60s, 1960s Fantastic Four universe? I didn't want to mention that before we get into the rest of it. Because Steve Rogers, of course, we know at the end the end end of Endgame he's supposed to go take all the Infinity Stones back.
00:28:58
Speaker
And he went somewhere to go meet peg with Peggy. Did he either take Peggy or go to a universe where Peggy is and to live out his life? Because number one... He's in the 1960s, so maybe he's been there for a while. Maybe he's been back there since the 1940s. Maybe he's the one that created this universe all along.
00:29:17
Speaker
This nineteen forty s kind of alternate universe of where the Fantastic Four arcs is. We know it's a different universe, different outlook of what the 616 universe is. So is this Steve Rogers from that universe? We know that eventually he meets up with the Fantastic Four. He's in the ship there.
00:29:32
Speaker
So is that correct yeah is that where he's from? Who knows? Kind of a speculation on on the internet's part and my part. But we did see the social medias for X-Men kind of changed to, the of course, the end credits. The X-Men will return and adventure his doomsday. So cannot wait for this movie. The trailer...
00:29:49
Speaker
Had 503 million views in the first 24 hours. Fucking crazy. Making it the second biggest trailer ever, only behind Brand New Day, which had 719 million. Fucking nuts. Disney's biggest trailer of all time. Deadpool Wolverine had the biggest trailer with their Super Bowl trailer a couple of years ago. so Up until this point. So yeah, awesome. um And the ticket sales went on sale this week. $16.5 million in advanced tickets just for premium format. um That's all they released for, i think, RPX, 4DX, anything that was approved for this Infinity Vision format.
00:30:26
Speaker
Went on sale. lot of them were sold out. I wasn't able to get tickets, but they're not all on sale, and the rest of them will probably go on sale, I guess, in September or October, closer to when the film comes out, but um Had the third biggest 24-hour kickoff for any film post-COVID at the domestic box office. No access to IMAX. if Fewer screenings available. And being over four months away. um Only behind No Way Home and Brand New Day. So it's doing huge numbers. um And yeah, awesome. Cannot wait.
00:31:00
Speaker
Let's get into the rest of the trailers that came out this week. We got a new trailer for Mother. Or Other Mommy, sorry. Starring Jessica Chastain by James Wan. It's about pretty much a woman who's a... It looks like an estranged mother. And the father takes care of a daughter. And the mother is... Kind of has a doppelganger of a... guess it would be a demon...

Speaker
um And before we see Batman, we're going to see one of his Grove Gallery characters. And they did confirm that this character is the same character from Creature Commando Season 1. This is his introduction in how he becomes Clayface. So, yeah, I know you're excited for that. I know I'm excited for that as well. Love the animated series, and I guess they're kind of continuation continuation of about what they did with the animated version of Clayface. So I'm excited for that.
00:33:28
Speaker
um Last weekend's box office, the Odyssey won number one at the box office, $124 million. dollars Yeah, not shocking at all. Moana, number two, 19 million. Minions and Monsters, number three, 14.8. Odyssey had $464 million dollars worldwide box office. Biggest opening ever for a live-action movie this year so far.
00:33:49
Speaker
um so yeah, big, huge weekend for Odyssey. You're to have another big weekend. almost i think $85 million was estimated this weekend. so Yeah, awesome. I still haven't seen it. um And some news on the Paramount Warner Brothers thing going on. A judge has ordered a temporary halt of Paramount's acquisition of Warner Brothers. I think about two weeks just to kind of look at look over everything. This is on the state level because all the states sued Warner Brothers to stop this before it went to the government approval part portion of the passing.
00:34:19
Speaker
um So it's got about a week and a half left to go through that. But... Yeah, we'll have to wait see. While that happened in America, the European Commission approved it completely. Paramount and Warner Brothers has been approved overseas, um and the deal is all set overseas, so now they just have to wait on the regulators over in America. Yeah. ah That's basically it for that. We're going to get a new look at the making of Euphoria.
00:34:43
Speaker
Looking back the last three seasons coming out July 24th, which is today on HBO Max. I don't know if it's tonight or when. But yeah, making of the series. I know they they're going to show some casting, how they casted the characters in the first season. So If you like Euphoria, you may want to watch that.
00:35:01
Speaker
um Seth McFarlane is doing a Family Guy spinoff called Stewie. We talked about it before. him They announced the cast. Keenan Thompson is going to be a part of it. Of course, Seth McFarlane coming back doing Stewie. SNL alums there and alums from just the Seth McFarlane universe is all a part of that as well. so I'm not sure if going watch it. I haven't watched Family Guy in a while. so It's not great.
00:35:28
Speaker
Yeah, and and I haven't seen anything new since i mean probably 2006, 2007. I was to say, I think I stopped watching regularly like 2007, 2008. Then I went back on Hulu a few times and watched some.
00:35:41
Speaker
But um he stopped writing in 2009 for them. he didn't? Okay, wasn't sure. yeah Yeah, he's got so much shit going on. No wonder. um Ted's way better. i think he stopped when he started writing Ted.
00:35:53
Speaker
I think he started writing the Ted movie when he was around the time he stopped. not only that, we've got a TED anim animated series just coming out sometime this year too. Excited for that. Yep. With Mark Wahlberg coming out. Next big premiere we have coming out in ah ah August is Ted Lasso. Just a couple weeks. Ted Lasso. Got ah another look at Ted Lasso here. It looks like they're looking on his his son's soccer game over in in America. Everybody came in and watching it in America. Yep.
00:36:21
Speaker
um And i yeah they had a new, I don't think I had the article here, but Jason Sudeikis talked about how his hopes that how he hopes that fans will stay with the show and for his for the long run, because this is going to be a continuation of pretty much what happened the first time, whereas the three-season arc, this is also going to be three-season arc. So, yeah, they're going to go to least season six, so...
00:36:44

Um, and, uh, he's done this with Bruno. He's done it with Borat. I believe it's the same type of, uh, comedy where he's, trying to trick people because the last allergy movie was just a straight up movie. Uh, this is him in character trying to trick people. So, uh, I, I'm a big fan of of, Borat. I'm big fan of, uh, Bruno.
00:39:02
Speaker
Yeah. I like, I like Borat a lot. I'm not huge. I haven't seen too much Bruno or allergy. The old show is great. I think. I'm not sure if put it on the Plex or not because I'm running out of room. Yeah, my roommate had the DVDs back in the day. Yeah, I have them too. yeah Ian, he had the DVDs. so yeah Yeah. I never really watched it.
00:39:18
Speaker
Yeah, funny show. um I know you're a big, huge sports guy. want to get your opinion on this. Glenn Powell. um is starring as Lou Gehrig in a biopic for Richard Linklater. As far as looks concerned, they kind of look the same. Lou Gehrig, of course, the only thing I know about Lou Gehrig is the disease. So i don't know I don't know if you know anything more about him, if you think it'll be if this is good casting or not. But, yeah.
00:39:42
Speaker
I think it's a good casting. Uh, Gumpal was in a Gunkwit like three days ago. you see that? I heard that. I heard he was in a Gunkwit. heard he was in Maine. Yeah. It was on, um, I saw Aaron, um, I went to high school with. Yeah.

I mean, you've seen Ben Affleck, right? He's been close by to Fox's. You've seen Dane Cook. That was a fake rumor. Lady Gaga was here last summer. Yeah, we know that for sure. She ate a ice cream. Yeah, we know that for sure.
00:40:19
Speaker
Days of Thunder 2 happening officially. um Jonathan Levine is going to direct it. Tom Cruise is probably possibly going to return. going to be a sequel to the original movie that came out in the eighty s This is a continuation. I believe Tony Scott directed it as well right after Top Gun. It's kind of a continuation of Top Gun. Oh, we we tackled fighter jets. Let's tackle the racing industry. So, yeah, interesting.
00:40:45
Speaker
um Netflix has acquired the rights of North American and Latin American rights to Danny Boyle's next film called Inc. um Starring Jack O'Connell, Guy Pearce, set in 1969, all about Rupert Murdoch. In the launch of the Sun newspaper and tabloid general journalism and all of that. So, interesting.
00:41:04
Speaker
Love Jack O'Connell. And Coleman Domingo is in talks to write a live-action Princess Tiana movie based on The Princess and the Frog. Totally different from The Princess and the Frog, kind of his own take on it.

Speaker
um And the Call of Duty movie is going set in the Modern Warfare universe. This movie comes out in two years, June 30th, 2028. wanted to mention that. Now let's get into some swag.

00:42:26
Speaker
I think 179, think. I can't remember what it was. Oh, that's it? Yeah, I think so. If I was a Harry Potter fan, I would jump on that in two seconds. Yeah, for sure. I hope they do something. were talking about this the other night. I hope they do something for Star Wars.
00:42:38
Speaker
it's the Is it the 50th anniversary in May? 50th anniversary. It's huge. Yeah, huge anniversary for Star Wars. Because I'm waiting to get that on 4K eventually. I had the Blu-ray 1 through 6. The only 4K have is The Last Jedi.
00:42:50
Speaker
um And that's just because i that was just a 4K I picked up when it came out because it came with the Blu-ray too. So I said, fuck it and got the 4K. Future-proof because I didn't have at the time. um But yeah.
00:43:02
Speaker
So hopefully they do something with Star Wars. it's $170, said that's a fucking hell deal. I mean, single movies are like $42 sometimes on Yeah. yeah um ah coming on overset i mean single movies are like forty two bucks sometimes on four k so yeah yeah see Yeah, it looks cool.

All the minifigures from Sulu to Captain Kirk. So, looks awesome. um And Hot Toys coming out with some great figures. We got this new Joker figure. I have a great Joker figure.
MCU Speculation: Doctor Doom's Future Impact
00:44:11
Speaker
I love mine. I got about 12 years go.
00:44:16
Speaker
But this is just a continuation of that with a whole bunch of accessories and him standing on a thing of money. Looks awesome. We got the Punisher from Born. We got Punisher, I think, from the TV show, not from the new series. Um, and we got, uh, John Berthold, a whole bunch of guns and stuff. And we got the, uh, the, the Hulk from brand new day, Spider-Man, uh, brand new, uh, figure that too. So, um, get your take on this. I'm going into the DC news of the week. Not a lot of DC news, but, um, Michael Staggart reportedly being eyed to play Batman and DC used, uh, Batman under James Gunn.
00:44:52
Speaker
Um, A lot of rumors right now of who's gonna be playing a bad Sure. lot of them are fake. Sure. This is probably fake. But who's the one guy that everybody's for? Is this Skullar? What's that guy's name? top Skullnar is one. Skullnar. I don't really care about...
00:45:11
Speaker
i don't really care about too many of them. Like it's whatever, like whoever they cast, I'm sure we'll be fine. Cause that's one thing. James Gunn say what you want about his movies. He has always nailed the casting and the characters that are written, um, for the movies.
00:45:23
Speaker
Um, as we said, Supergirl, even though the movie wasn't like the greatest thing ever, uh, Millie was great, obviously. Um, so i'm not too worried. Tom Brittany is probably the guy that I'm most curious about because he was one of the runners up for Superman and he's also been linked to Batman.
00:45:39
Speaker
um They even talked about it on a talk show, I want to say last week, where they were asked him about the Batman role, and he basically said he couldn't say anything about it or whatever. um But I'm sure whatever the cast will be great.
00:45:54
Speaker
i know um I know Alan Richardson is talking about it this week, too. People are asking about it. I know Josh Horowitz doing an interview with him. um He's being very coy about it, saying that he's going to be doing something for DC, but he kind of has to keep his mouth shut for now until that happens, whatever is. I think Wildcat or somebody else like that would be better for him. ah I don't know.
00:46:17
Speaker
I feel like that's – don't know. We'll see. Like I said, I just have faith whoever they cast as Batman because not going to mess up the Batman casting, that's for sure. Yep, yep. ah Got some promos for Spider-Man Brand New Day. I believe this is over in India. It's a 3D look of Spider-Man holding back a tank on on a billboard. i We also got an international poster with some character pictures of the characters from the movie.
00:46:39
Speaker
Cannot wait for next week. um And Destin Daniel Cretton says, Spider-Man Brand New Day has action sequences inspired by the Spider-Man games. I was wondering if they were going kind of go closer to the games, um which makes me think maybe some of the stuff that happened in that game may actually happen on the screen for the first time as well.
00:46:56
Speaker
Mr. Negative, maybe. They're saying that we have not seen the villain of this movie. It's been completely kept under wraps. So, interesting. um Ryan Reynolds announced that fan Fanatics Fest happened last week that there will be another Deadpool movie. Quote, there's a few really deep cuts missing from the movies. I think there's a few deep cuts missing from the comics. Eventually, you know, there will be another Deadpool.
00:47:19
Speaker
um Yeah, very exciting. i I'm wondering he's just trying to manifest it or if he's actually talking truth, but we'll see. Right. um Maybe we'll get an announcement tomorrow. Who knows? um You got some more people maybe maybe being considered for the X-Men reboot. Who knows? Hopefully more answers tomorrow. But Tom Palfrey, I don't know who he is. I've seen him in something, but reportedly the guy to play Professor x See the guy from Iron Fist?
00:47:48
Speaker
Is he the brother from Iron Yes, he is. You're right. And he's also, he's one of my favorite characters in the show, Banshee. comes in in season three as a reformed Nazi and he becomes member of the police department. And his storyline is fucking amazing in that show. um He is a great actor. i would be okay with him playing any role in the MCU or DCU.
00:48:08
Speaker
Another actress, we brought up the Rogue casting last week, Kaylee Spaney, who was in Aliens, who was in Civil War last year, um reportedly being eyed to play Rogue, another another actress up for Rogue or some character in the X-Men. so ah Hopefully we'll know more about that tomorrow. With all this casting rumors coming out a week before, usually that means that the rumor mill, that that people are talking, that there's something something brewing. ah behind the scenes. And with the Avengers trailer leaking earlier in the week, they have to have something huge tomorrow to have a whole Hall H performance. And I'm wondering if casting is going to be a big part of that, of course, and a to new timeline and everything of what's going to be coming out. so
00:48:51
Speaker
um Speaking of MCU, Ryan Kruger is said to be involved in the casting of Storm in the X-Men because he wants her to appear in Black Panther 3, which she should because she's got a huge arc of how she's found with Black Panther. and that's how kind of in In the comic books, the animated series, she's found over in Africa um and her powers, when they start to form... um the Wakandans find her and kind of bring her in. So, yeah, she's the most powerful mutant after Jean Grey. Jean Grey, rumored to be debuting soon. so
00:49:22
Speaker
um Kevin Feige, in an interview, I think with Josh Horowitz, talked about how they've been trying to get Adam Driver for anything in Marvel, and he's passed on him every single time. They really want him, too, but they're trying just trying to find the right project. um So, yeah. Kevin Feige, in an Same interview talks about there are plans to introduce Miles Morales in the MCU. That's kind of the next point. of Tom Holland also talking about that interviews that um what Downey did for him um kind of take him in and under his wing. He wants to do that for whoever becomes Miles Morales, the next Spider-Man. So that's kind of the the point of what these new this new trilogy, if it's a new trilogy of movies for Spider-Man. after the new Spider-Verse movie comes out, they're to tackle him in live action. So very exciting.
00:50:07
Speaker
Kevin Feige on Blade being in the works. He feels like he's a giant loser and a failure that they didn't get it off the ground with Mahershal yet. So I'm hoping we get some news on that. There are rumors. I heard that was canceled. Yeah, there's rumors that it was canceled. The guy that did the poster, the design of the Blade thing apparently said it was canceled, but nothing official yet.
00:50:28
Speaker
Yeah, no no no official word. um These are supposedly real spy shots. So spoilers for the beginning of Doomsday, which we talked about last week with Tobey Maguire. But supposedly these are real.
00:50:43
Speaker
um We got Tobey Maguire... Deadpool and Wolverine on set. Wolverine protecting something on the right and Tobey Maguire trying to fight him for it. Some people speculating that it's a bomb to explode the incursion or some sort of and device that will destroy the incursion. Wolverine is going to sacrifice himself to do that. But of course Wolverine can't be killed so there's always room for him to return. so um and Rumor being that Spider-Man's universe gets destroyed in this opening scene of Doomsday.
00:51:14
Speaker
Yeah, lot of fight back for that as well. A lot of people don't believe it. oh So we'll have to wait and see. Also, these shots came out for Doomsday. I believe some of them are AI. Some of them could be real.
00:51:24
Speaker
You be the judge. um But yeah, these are what kind of leaked this week. We see in the middle, we see the incursions happening. Supposedly we see this Magneto setting off some sort of a device in the middle of the incursion. We see a universe colliding with the X-Mansion on the bottom there. We see in the far right, is see it's the Fantastic Four jet. We see Captain America, we see Elena, we see Shang-Chi, we see a Doom. It's not Dr. Doom, it's looks like a follower of Doom. And we see fantastic we may see Mr. Fantastic at the helm of the check.
00:51:58
Speaker
Not sure about that. We also see Dr. Doom and another one of his followers looking on looking onto some sort of a crypt or something. On the bottom right, I'm not sure. On the top right top left, we see Magneto, Professor Xavier, and Gambit sitting at a, it looks like, almost looks like Avengers Tower.
00:52:14
Speaker
I'm not sure. With Thor's hammer sitting right there on the desk. We see Doom on the bottom there. Not sure if those are real or not. they could be AI, who knows. but Can't trust the internet right now. Let's get into Avengers Secret Wars, Avengers Doomsday.
00:52:29
Speaker
Kevin Feige doesn't see the MCU having a full reboot after Avengers Secret Wars. The Jonathan Hickman run from 10 years ago is a nice roadm mac roadmap of where they can go, and of course that's Battleworld. That's where everything kind of combines into universe. All the universes, the best parts of them going forward. So I kind of figured that's what they're going be doing. So we'll have to wait and see. yep Also can confirm that Secret Wars is going to be one movie. It's to be split into two movies at all.
00:52:57
Speaker
and That's been a speculation for a while that there's a secret third Avengers movie and it'll be a Secret Wars part two. That's not going to happen. This is going be a telling the story of Secret Wars, the Hickman run.
00:53:08
Speaker
So cannot wait. Also confirmed that the upcoming Avengers films are inspired by Time Runs Out and Secret Wars comic storylines, both of them from the 80s and the 2015 one.
00:53:19
Speaker
What we really want to do is two things. First, to bring closure to some storylines that I've done before, starting with Iron Man, also going way back to the X-Men characters. Second, at the same time, is set a stage for the future, bringing in new characters, bringing in new worlds, i bringing in new...
00:53:34
Speaker
new new people that go to go kind of hold this franchise. We got a lot of veterans in this franchise that are relying, especially in this movie alone, the next one coming out, Robert Downey, Chris Evans have been in this franchise for 15 years by the time Secret Wars comes out. so um And Kevin Feige says Secret Wars will introduce a new universe that's easier for audience to follow. It will establish a streamlined, simplified, single universe that's easier for audiences to follow. Some aspects will feel familiar, but many, many things will be entirely new. That's what I'm guessing. A new X-Men team will be coming in. Maybe a new maybe a new Captain in America. Maybe even a new Iron Man.
00:54:14
Speaker
Maybe a new Black Panther could be part of this universe. We'll have to wait and see. so seeing all this Doom stuff, seeing this Secret Wars stuff, my main question is, what is Doctor Doom's motive in this movie?
00:54:27
Speaker
That's the question I think we're all asking. what What is he doing this all for? Why is he attacking Earth with 616? Is he from the Fantastic Four universe kind of hitching a ride over with Steve, Sue, I mean with Reed, Stu, Thing, and Johnny Storm?
00:54:44
Speaker
Who knows? um Incursions. Is that the whole reason for this? Um, is they're causing the imploding multiverse, um, the X-Men universe.
00:54:56
Speaker
Um, why did these incursions happen? Um, well, the X-Men universe, we kind of have an idea of why an incursion happened there. It all started way back in 2014 with days of future past. That's my speculation. That's the internet speculation too.
00:55:10
Speaker
Um, my theory, Scott Summers, Cyclops, has intense emotions in this doomsday trailer and the ones we saw earlier in the year. Um, he's shooting off his visor and he's kind of just sad and and pissed off. Um, in days of future pasts, Maybe that creates Nathan Summers.
00:55:28
Speaker
Maybe Nathan Summers wouldn't have been created if Wolverine didn't come back from Days of Future Past and resurrect Jean Grey. Maybe date Nathan summer Summers, who ends up being Cable later on, um gets kidnapped in this universe by Doom. We've always been saying that Doom is going back and kidnapping children.
00:55:44
Speaker
did he attack Did he kidnap Nathan Summers? d Did he kidnap ah Cable from the from the future? From the past? um Who knows? um The Earth main 616 universe fucked up by Steve Rogers. Did he return all the Infinity Stones before he went and met Peggy? And then he did meet Peggy and that created another timeline. And they had a son.
00:56:06
Speaker
Rumored that he was kidnapped as well. um Did this also create more multiverse fuckery? I mean... The 616 universe has been split in so many other ways. Thor's daughter was also a continuation because of the split. um The son of the Black Panther, the New Avengers, Loki being a part of the being part of everything, and him being ah being killed but actually being a part of being being spun off of the Loki series and all that shit. um with the Kang of it all Doctor Strange Spider-Man of course another thing that split up the multiverse maybe have caused an incursion and of course the biggest culprit of a model the Scarlet Witch the Nexus being of everything um in the Hickman run time runs out Doom goes to find a Nexus being Molecule Man molecule man maybe that's going to be the Scarlet Witch in this series in these movies did you read the Hickman run
00:57:02
Speaker
I just got it this week. I'm to reading it in the next few months. so Okay. I found it online. heyck's the goat I fucking love John of Hickman. His Fantastic Four is one of my favorite books.
00:57:13
Speaker
Yeah, I plan on reading Time Runs Out. That's what Doom stays all based on. I'm going to read the Secret Wars, yeah both Secret Wars comics. so Awesome. um yeah And the other universe that could be causing all these incursions is the Fantastic Four universe, and that could be just Doctor Doom.
00:57:28
Speaker
Being the dictator of Latveria, of course, in the comic books, there's a civil war in Latveria. He takes over the mantle of King of Latveria. um In the scene from Fantastic Four, when they're missing from the United Nations, maybe that's because a representative of the United Nations was either in the middle of the Civil War or was killed, and there hasn't been a placement for him in the United Nations in this Fantastic Four universe. um And the end of the after credit scene, maybe that's Doom seeing this new, they just took down this new team, this new superhero team took down Galactus, this world-threatening
00:58:04
Speaker
creature um all through a kid franklin richards who is probably the most powerful being on their universe um speculation that can't that he probably maybe kidnapped him or has something to do with him as well um in the comic books um doom talk a little bit about doom the history of doom um his nut mother was killed taken by mephisto brought to hell um had a lot of sorcery a lot of stuff going on with that um setting dr doom on a path for revenge setting him out on a life mission to get as powerful as he possibly can become using magic and using sorcery becoming a huge massive so magic user um that's where he gets his power set um
00:58:46
Speaker
I'm wondering if he finds the Fantastic Four after they banished Galactus at the end of the Fantastic Four movie um and to study their most powerful creature in the universe, Franklin Richards. um I'm wondering if that's the motive but behind this movie.
00:58:58
Speaker
Maybe uses Reed Richards to visit the other multiverses. and Maybe that's how we get him over fighting Thor. How we get him over fighting the X-Men. Eventually turns the Fantastic Four maybe fy after he uses Reed Richards to help him um And reveals his true motives, ruling the entire entire multiverse in his own vision, which would be creating the battle world, creating a multiverse combined together battle world that would be the basis of Secret Wars, the battle that'll plans of what Secret Wars would end up being.
00:59:31
Speaker
All speculation. Who fucking knows? Just speculating on what could happen just based off of Doom's history in the comics. What we know about Doom and this and so forth. and Who knows?
00:59:43
Speaker
Hopeful thinking. um Before we end, we'll talk a little bit more Kevin Feige talking about the future of the MCU. Secret Wars will represent a beginning. It will establish a streamlined, simplified universe, blah blah blah. Earlier we talked about attracting younger audiences connecting to a newer generation. That's exactly what this next universe is intended to do. And if it ated at its core, will be the X-Men. So it seems like, let's pivot from the Avengers, the next 10-15 years, let's tackle the X-Men.
01:00:12
Speaker
Which is exciting. We've seen the X-Men, there's a lot of stuff we haven't seen. There's a lot of more stuff in the animated series we've seen. on There's characters we haven't seen. They haven't tackled enough. So if they give the love to the X-Men in the next the next decade, I would love that.
01:00:27
Speaker
um Especially with Kevin Feige. I know he's a huge fan of the X-Men. um Saying that they're going to be at the core of the X-Men, the X-Men are far more than just Wolverine. Far more than the original team. um It's in a universe, it's a multi-stage saga. Much of that is what we're working towards. So very excited for that. um They have plans up until 2042. They have plans for almost 15 years worth of stories. um As of whether they can hold on to it, who knows. But that's what that's kind of their plan.
01:00:54
Speaker
um And he's teasing... San Diego Comic Con for tomorrow night. When we go to Hot Leech, it's for a reason. It's going have some surprises and show a few things. So he's very excited to be heading back tomorrow. So that's where we'll leave off this week.
01:01:07
Speaker
Next week, we'll continue that talk. Lots to break down, I'm sure. um Just tonight and tomorrow alone, there's going to lot of reveals. So we'll talk about Comic Con next week.

um The Stan Lee documentary comes out in four days. I think that's going to be buying on iTunes. um If I could find that, I may watch that and talk about it. Have you pre-ordered Halo on the PS5? I know that comes out, I think, in four days on Tuesday.
01:02:56
Speaker
the halo it's just the remake of the original right uh with new levels there are new levels oh yeah i thought you were the first game especially now i played the first i beat the first one and i think i beat the third okay but like i just played them like they're just whatever because i had xbox that was one of the few uh xbox exclusives that they had so right i wasn't a huge fan of those games I liked the first one. I didn't get into the second one or third one, but I liked the first one. I did beat that. First was first one was cool because it was when the Xbox first came out, so was like a new system, new game, all that shit.
