Introduction and Cold Open Jokes
00:01:25
Speaker
Hey, what's going on? Hey, Raymond, I've been trying to get us to a cold open for years and that was our chance right there. That was our five-second cold open. A vibe mistake, but welcome everyone to another exciting
Halloween Theme and Horror Movies
00:01:38
Speaker
episode. Lots to talk about. This could be considered our Halloween spectacular because I've watched a lot of horror movies and TV shows this week I want to talk about.
LeBron James and Comic Book Advice Frustration
00:01:46
Speaker
Um, first thing we're going to start off with this week is a teach race sports segment.
World Series and Grimace's Mets Mascot Story
00:02:18
Speaker
First, foremost, I saw this tweet and I wanted to bring it up on the podcast. LeBron James looking for comic book advice. The only reason I'm bringing this up is to get a rise in the campaign. Burning my collection. but Fuck this guy. Oh, go to Twitter and ask where you can buy comic books. Why don't you go to the fucking one of 25 people you have handling your shit to fucking just be like, hey, bro, here's a thousand bucks. Go to the comic shop. Get me some shit. See you what's up. Fucking going on Twitter trying to look like you're one of the people you
00:02:48
Speaker
Well James is going to fuck him up too. so This is like when he was talking about how he heard somebody talking about him on a podcast and he asked for the yes his guy for the transcript. It's a fucking podcast. Get a timestamp and listen to it you fuck. Listen to it. Sorry, my chill was running hot today. Well I know you love LeBron, you have a certain love for him, love, hate and relationship. Yeah, a nepotistic motherfucker.
00:03:14
Speaker
Before we get into the big thing that we're going to talk about with this segment, I did want to bring up the wolfs World Series this year. We're going to talk about the World Series 20 years ago. Yes, we are. But we forgot to mention that Grimace was the mascot for the Mets for a couple weeks there. what about but like what What can you tell me about why this happened? I know he was in the stands and it was kind of like a good luck charm, I guess, for the
Boston Red Sox Documentary on Netflix
00:03:44
Speaker
team.
00:03:44
Speaker
Yes. So the Mets were supposed to suck this year. I mean, they're fucking sharp. They're awful. Yeah. um like They had one of the highest payrolls in baseball. I think it was two years ago. Their payroll is like 400 million and they were like fucking terrible. So they sold everyone off.
00:04:00
Speaker
So coming into this year, like they got a new ownership recently, um but they're still not expected to do anything. And I think it was like mid-June, I want to say the end of June. Grimace threw out the first pitch in a game. And they went on a winning streak and ended up making the playoffs. So yeah, during the course of the year, I believe they painted one of the seats in Shea Stadium purple.
00:04:24
Speaker
for the remainder of the season. Grimace ended up being there like the last month of the season. um They're wearing like grimace stuff on their their uniforms and whatnot, incorporating it into their their everyday games. um But yeah, the Mets, it was a hell of a story.
00:04:40
Speaker
um Like if you would put $10 on them before the season to win the World Series, I think you had, they won the World Series. I think you would have got like 400, something like that. That's how far off they were from being contenders before the season. um But yeah, it was a great story. I love sports stories. I love baseball in October. There's always a great story. And obviously we're going to get to that in a little bit with the comeback. But yeah, thats as far as I know, that's pretty much what happened with Grimace. He got embraced by the team. and
00:05:11
Speaker
Yeah, I saw that. I saw it everywhere. And we haven't mentioned on the podcast.
Red Sox vs. Yankees Rivalry
00:05:15
Speaker
I want to kind of wait until this week anyway, but I thought it was funny. um But we are going to talk about something. I don't have the poster for it, but we're just going to talk about it. Came out on Netflix, I believe yesterday.
00:05:27
Speaker
um and it's called what yeah it's wednesday wednesday yeah um is called the comeback 2004 Boston Red Sox is on Netflix um of course you're from New England you know this area you know Red Sox hadn't won a World Series since 1918 Yep, 1918. And so when this happened, the team was, this whole documentary is talking about the the year before in 2003 and how the team restructured um and how Theo Epstein took over as general manager and restructured everything, brought in new players, got rid of old players, they brought Frank Coleman. As they showed up, they wanted Billy Bean after the 2002 season.
00:06:14
Speaker
which you see at the very end of the movie, Moneyball. Moneyball, right. Yes. And Billy was basically like, Theo's the assistant GM. Why'd he just hire that guy? He'll do fine. Young guy. Because he had Theo, he wanted to work with Theo if he had gone to Boston. Theo, of course, being 28 years old at the time, really didn't know what he was in for.
00:06:35
Speaker
kind of over his head, but um also an incredibly smart person. um And Billy was like, I would love to work with him basically, but he was like, I couldn't, my daughter's 12, I couldn't move three time zones away at the time. um So why don't you guys just hire him? And yeah, he brought in guys. um very similar to like the money ball aspect where he'd pick up a Bill Miller who was a great hitter but nobody would like think of him because he didn't have a lot of power um so he picked him up who ended up winning the AL batting title with us in 2003 and 4 I believe um so he made some great offseason acquisitions of course David Ortiz was literally just hanging out with Pedro and he was like I just got released by the twins and Pedro was like let me make a call of course like Theo says 12 different people
00:07:22
Speaker
say that they were they were the responsible for signing David Ortiz. It's kind of like the whole wrestling like I was I was there when Brett got screwed over type you like what I always talk about. all right But yeah, that first hour of the documentary was great. You got to see the personalities. And I mean, this team was just full of personalities back in 2003 and 2004.
00:07:45
Speaker
uh millar i didn't really know idea who this guy was the star of this documentary when they showed him when uh the whole arod stuff was going now which i guess we'll get into now of course um arod highest contract in baseball but the rangers sucked so they wanted to get rid of them arod wanted to go to the yankees or the red socks yankees didn't have an open position either to the red socks except no more his contract was coming up and so of course the deal was done like they have signed contracts for arod becoming a member of the red socks I did not know that until the documentary i yeah not know that the trade was ready to go ah yeah it was on yeah espn they were selling a rod red sox jerseys ah for yeah officially got throat passth through so you could have technically bought na ro red sox jersey um which honestly wouldn't be worth anything because Red Sox didn't have the names in their back of the jerseys. But um so it would just be a number three. So it's not like technically an A-Rod jersey that you could like sell or something like that. But ah yeah, that whole deal happened. I mean, the red the Patriots were going to their second World Series and their third World Series in like three years or whatever at the time. And the super volume the front page of the sports in the globe was um about the Red Sox possibly acquiring A-Rod. Like, wow, it was insane.
00:09:02
Speaker
um Um, the whole Curt Schilling thing? Yeah, yeah we're gonna we're gonna talk about everything. um First thing I want to bring up is Pedro Martinez. yeah He's the fucking man in this documentary Gave no fucks and the fights that he would pick on with the Yankees the yank everybody knows Red Sox Yankees big rivalry, but Pedro in the documentary admits that he purposely would antagonize The Yankees by throwing pitches at the at the hitters and hitting them
00:09:35
Speaker
um And Don Zimmer who I general manager of Yankees old guy long time Well, he was a manager at this time. He was just like the bench coach He was basically just okay because dude was like fucking 70 years old He was a manager of the yeah Dodgers for a long time. I believe too comes out to Comes out to confront Pedro and Pedro just grabs him and rolls him onto the ground. Just rolls him. Incredible. And then he gets into a fight with A-Rod. It's an amazing, amazing story just the year before they even get to the World Series.
00:10:13
Speaker
um And then Kevin Millar gives no fucks, star of this documentary. He talked about the A-Rod trade mishap. um But the Red Sox and Yankees, is that what I remember from watching, the fights that they would get into, there's so much tension between these two teams. Nothing like it. It was incredible. And especially during this time when theyre and when the Yankees were winning every single year and it was always beating the Red Sox to get there, the tension was high.
00:10:39
Speaker
especially at the end of this season um no more got publicly hanged by the red sox organization with this trade oh yeah it leaked out by millar i think was wasn't no it wasn't millar who leaked it out what what happened on espn is mallar was asked who would Right, that's what it was. Who would you rather have especially on your team next year, Nomar and Manny or A-Rod? at And he literally, he seriously thought for the last 20 years that the question was, who's going the end of to be throwing you this season. Nomar the ball from got publicly hanged by the Red Sox organization with this trade. shortstop? So he answered A-Rod. Right, right, right. He didn't actually hear the question correctly. And Nomar called him up on the phone and started yelling at him. And when Malar found out what the actual question was, he was like, well, I guess I deserve that.
00:11:23
Speaker
Well, Nomar had Nomar at that point forward because he ended up not getting traded with the AROD deal falling through.
Breaking the Curse of the Bambino
00:11:33
Speaker
Stayed on with the Red Sox to the beginning of the 2003 season or 2004 season and kind of just blackballed everyone on the team. As far as what the documentary he said, like he wasn't talking to people like he regularly was.
00:11:48
Speaker
yeah I mean part mary this guy was the face the franchise he was i mean know in
00:11:55
Speaker
They're Jeter, A-Rod, and Nomar. Now it's your three short stops. They were all pretty much neck and neck. They were all, I mean, A-Rod was the best and there was, you know, Jeter and Nomar. And both Jeter and A-Rod, because they had gone to the league earlier, were up for contract. So A-Rod signed this 10 year, $252 million dollars contract. Jeter signed for like eight years and $200 million. dollars So Nomar was thinking, all right, it's my time to get paid. My contract's up in a year.
00:12:22
Speaker
But at that time, the market had sunk a little bit. And so the Red Sox were only offering him like four years and $60 million. dollars And so there was a little little bit of tension like 2003. And that's the main reason why Nomar was the one to be included in this trade. But then they always say, well, if we had known that A-Rod would be willing to go to third base, we could have had A-Rod and Nomar as the cornerstone of our infield for the next 10 years. But nobody knew at that time that A-Rod would be willing to move positions. So um yeah.
00:12:52
Speaker
um The other thing I got from this documentary is Theo Epstein has a fantastic eye for not only this team, he said he grew up a few miles away from Fenway Park, um but he has just set an eye for baseball in general, um to build it to a strong team, um even with the critics of the newspapers like the Boston Globe down his throat and his yeah neck, for every controversial movie he would make.
00:13:14
Speaker
It's from Brookline. His brother was on my brother-in-law's soccer team growing up okay um because he was also from Brookline. so yeah That's where I went to school, so it was literally like a T-stop away from Fenway.
00:13:26
Speaker
yeah um And the whole documentary is about reversing the curse, the curse of the Bambino. um is Of course, Babe Ruth left in 1919. And then went to the Yankees, who used to be a Red Sox. And ever since then, they so they didn't win ah the Red Sox didn't win a World Series, so the curse was there. The Yankees won them all.
00:13:47
Speaker
Yeah, he's kept winning over and over and over again. 26, 26 to zero. And a lot of them were, they had to go through the Red Sox to get there. So, um, and so they reversed it. 2004, they were in the ALCS, um, championship series and game four.
00:14:05
Speaker
They were down quite a bit. And game four, it all changes in the ninth. There are a three to zero deficit. And ah want I want to talk about that this documentary didn't that I know of bring up is that you said you want to mention. OK, yeah, they didn't at all. You're right. You passed away. um They do mention towards the end about him dying and like everyone was there, his friend stuff and his kind of to. But basically what happened is in 2003, the beginning of the documentary shows that Tim Wakefield went out there and he lost the game off the Aaron Boone home run that's at the Yankees of the World Series. um He thought it was all his fault. Like he thought he was going to be the new Bill Buckner, basically the scapegoat. Right. um That's what the documentary ended up being Grady Little for leaving Pedro in for so long. Flash forward to this year. Game four was supposed he was supposed to start game four. And what happened in the blowout is they're losing so much that he went to Terry Francona and he said, listen,
00:15:04
Speaker
we're gonna need the bullpen tomorrow. He goes, I can go give you five innings. I don't care if I get messed up. So if he goes out there and he throws for the last five or six innings, gets absolutely bombed, end up losing, was it 19 to five, I think was the final? yeah it was like Or 19 to eight? I think it was 19 to eight was the final. He gave up like six of those runs or something like that. So he saved the bullpen. Bronson Arroyo who was in the bullpen was told he was now gonna start game four. So basically,
00:15:33
Speaker
he gave up his post-season so that they would have a chance with the bullpen the next day, because otherwise there would have been, the Yankees would have gone through the entire bullpen and say he comes out the next day and he only goes four innings, they'd help me to fucking bring in after him. So they decided to let Bronson pitch game four and bring in Wakefield to game three, thus saving the bullpen, which saved the bullpen for the entirety of the rest of this post-season. Okay, okay. um Game six, you already kind of mentioned it, Schilling had a,
00:16:03
Speaker
ankle injury that he was working through, and the iconic scene that everybody knows is his ankle was bleeding on the mound as he's pitching yeah ah Kurt Schilling. Kurt Schilling, is there controversy? I know i know um well he kind of announced that Wakefield and his cancer, he announced that ahead of time before anybody knew about it. i knew that Yeah, he hasn't really dazed before he died. Yeah. Yes, yep. And why is he a piece of shit? Does he say racist things, sexist things? Like, what is what is it about him? He's very opinionated. Very opinionated, is the way to go.
00:16:40
Speaker
I don't want to get into politics, but he has said some outlandish things on behalf of Republicans on Twitter um type stuff um that somebody in his position probably shouldn't say, but he's very outspoken. He's always been like that his entire career. um He, of course, started that video game company that then went bankrupt and put hundreds of people out of business.
Favorite Horror Movies and Genres
00:17:03
Speaker
um
00:17:11
Speaker
um he chewed but he chewed during when he during playing baseball and he got can't turn in his mouth so like he can't produce any like sli in his mouth which is why he always had the water next to him and kind of talked funny at times because yeah it just always has dry mouth um but No, it's basically just he's been he said some controversial things. I only call him piece of shit because of what he said about Wakefield last year. He's literally breaking the news to the world and Wakefield is trying to keep it like on the low and then Wakefield died within like a week. um So, yeah. um And the ah other thing I want to talk about is game seven. Oh, yeah.
00:17:47
Speaker
um winning after after being at a three and zero deficit the first team and only team i think still that's ever done that still um yep and they want they won what eight games in a row in order to get there um yeah and yeah it's just an incredible story um and i know great documentary of course and if you haven't seen it um sweeped to and they ended up sweeping the uh the cardinals in the world series so um Next, we're going to play a game.

00:21:31
Speaker
For what it did for for movies in general that should be on that list, but yeah top top 10 Stephen King movie number 10 What would you think would be on this link list for?

Everybody loves that movie um Number five, 1968's Rosemary's Baby. Never saw that either. yep great but One of your favorites, we're getting into the top four now, one of your favorites, Jaws. The first Jaws. I mean, for what it is, we talk about it all the time for what it did for cinema.
00:22:52
Speaker
um the The tension that that shark does in that movie is just incredible. um Number three, for for what this movie did, 1960's Psycho, Alfred Hitchcock. Everybody knows that iconic shower scene with Vivian Lee, everybody knows that.

Speaker
Um, and number two, a movie I've never seen i i'm and I have a hard time watching it, but I'm tempted to watch it next year. Cause I talked about how I don't like exorcisms, the exorcist 1973, the devil exorcist, but I've kind of seasoned myself this week by watching the content and finishing it. But, um, and number one, um and this is number one is one of your favorite horror movies, one of your favorite slasher movies from 1974.
00:23:43
Speaker
made for a very low budget. We've talked about it on the podcast, I believe. I think we actually may have reviewed it last year. The very first Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I love that movie. You think that this is one now you this is one movie that I wish I could just watch in like regular like non HD because it's just so gritty and grimy that it almost plays better as a horror movie without being cleaned up. Um, movie's so good though.
00:24:09
Speaker
Yeah. Overall, what do you think of the list? I mean, that's only the top 20. There are a lot of them in there. good list I know you like. I think it's a good decent list. wee and We always complain about this list all the time. But um yeah, decent list. And yeah, I think it's pretty good. I am surprised Texas chainsaws. Number one, though, I'm not going to lie, I thought exorcists would have been number one. um Yeah, you're right. So I was like chainsaws doesn't have any mass appeal to it at all. Like it's very low budget. It's very gritty, grimy, like It's almost like a cult movie, but it's just so good. I'm just I it should definitely be in top 20. I'm just surprised to have it. Number one, which is great. Fucking love that. Yep.
Nostalgia: Ghostbusters Cartoons
00:24:47
Speaker
Good job, Brian. You're you're one of the good ones because most of us suck. Oh, my God. Next, we're going to get into a retro earworm. We haven't done this in a while, but I want to talk about something that I was listening to on a podcast this week. So welcome back to a retro earworm. the
00:25:19
Speaker
Now, when we were growing up, we've talked about it recently. We loved Ghostbusters. We loved the, we loved the movies, and of course that went into the animated series in the late 80s. We loved it all. We were huge fans of it. However, there was one blemish of Ghostbusters in the 80s that's always in the back of my mind of a show that I used to watch all the time.
00:25:41
Speaker
that was called Ghostbusters. Do you remember this? Filmations Ghostbusters? Yes. The reason why the cartoon that we used to watch and love based off of the Ivan Reitman movie, the Dan Aykroyd movie, was called The Real Ghostbusters because Filmation owned the name Ghostbusters since the 1970s. There was a live-action Ghostbusters TV show starring two members of the TV show F-Troupe. And it was it' the weirdest fucking concept. It's two guys riding around and riding around in this jalopy-looking vehicle with a monkey.
00:26:22
Speaker
And for some reason, this ah this only lasted for like one season, and it got lost in the annals of time. And then Columbia came around and wanted to make Ghostbusters the movie. Dan Aykroyd wrote the movie, Harold Ramis. And they they wanted to make Ghostbusters, but they had to get the rights to the movie. So they got the rights to the name of Ghostbusters. it So it happened in 1984. We all know the history of that.
Emotional Moments in 'Superman and Lois'
00:26:50
Speaker
um And then when that became so successful, they decided, well, let's make an animated, let's make an animated show. And they're like, well, wait, and we only agreed to the movie name. You can't have the name for the animated show. You you you cannot have Ghostbusters because they realize how big Ghostbusters, because at the time they're like, oh, what the fuck? It's just a movie. It's not going to become something. Well, Flash Four and Ghostbusters becomes gigantic.
00:27:14
Speaker
um And they made a huge mistake. I don't think they had a big huge deal to get money from it so they were trying to stab them get some money and Columbia or I think it was Columbia who did Ghostbusters were like fuck you We're not paying you for the name for the animated TV show. We'll just call ourselves the real Ghostbusters It's actually a joke in the first episode of the real Ghostbusters where they talk about um We are the real Ghostbusters not the not the other one. I can't remember the exact line, but I But this TV show wasn't popular. The original one, the live-action one, was bad. However, to get retaliation for the fact that the real Ghostbusters was becoming huge, I believe a year after, or maybe it was right around the same time they debuted, another animated version called Filmatian's Ghostbusters. Animated version of the live-action one that they did in the 70s. And that's what I remember watching. And I have the... I have the the trailer here. We're gonna watch the intro cartoon here. Let's go Ghostbusters!
00:29:25
Speaker
Like I, I remember that, but I, I know it wasn't successful. I don't think it lasted more than a season. The animated version too. I don't even, they may have had, they may have had toys and stuff. I don't remember, but I just remember a lot of those iconic scenes from the show. When I watched this earlier, it was like, holy shit.
00:29:43
Speaker
I remember watching this all the time, right along the same time as the real Ghostbusters 2, but I wanted to bring that up and hopefully we won't get flagged because I really wanted to play the commercial at the beginning of the theme song for the show. Let's go, Ghostbusters, let's go. What were you watched? Are you caught up on Superman and Lois?
00:30:08
Speaker
I am. We didn't do it last week. We had a lot going on. We had a lot going on this week, so I'll just get to the nitty gritty of it. Everyone knows we're doing The Death of Superman. I told you that he does die at the end of episode two. um he is I did not know how they were going to bring him back, but they do it in episode three in a very emotional episode as well. I will get into the particulars because I hope you end up watching the show, which is off the air. I will.
00:30:34
Speaker
But holy shit, um, very emotional episode again. Um, they get rid of one of my fair characters on the show and it sucks, but his other son also now has powers, which is great because the one that didn't, uh, there's Jordan, and Jonathan, Jordan got him in the first season and that kid's just a fucking wet paper towel. He is goddamn useless. Um,
00:31:00
Speaker
So Jonathan has them now. And um so yes, they bring him back. Jonathan has powers. Now he's training both of his sons. But of course, in the classic way he's brought back, he's weakened a bit. And I think this is what's going to lead to the black suit eventually. oh And how he was brought back.
00:31:20
Speaker
um And this show has been hitting um all season. ah This is kind of a come-down episode of the first three episodes, all being very emotional. This one was more of a happy episode. I get to see Tyler back, who is my favorite Superman and Clark Kent. I fucking think he's amazing in both roles. um Yeah, the show's been really good this season. So awesome.
00:31:46
Speaker
um Only Murs or in the penultimate episode next week's the finale um we We kind of get a getting a glimpse of who the killer is gonna be um We'll talk about that. Maybe when you watch it if you do watch it is really good. um It's on Hulu shrinking episode 3 You're not watching it. However, you're gonna watch it tonight um just a continuation who they who they cast Brent Goldstein in in this season you're going to love and and it's going to be a great confrontation when it actually happens and i don't want to get into the spoiler who he plays but it's awesome um agatha all along penultimate week um however it is not
00:32:25
Speaker
The last episode, there's two episodes next week on the finale week. Patti LuPone, Broadway singer, actor, came on, played a witch in this show. Didn't think anything of it, but she had one of the best performances of an MCU, anything, ever, this week. There's a lot of time Fuckery and her storyline happened in this episode.
00:32:46
Speaker
um And this episode all had to do with tarot um And you actually in the end of this episode you see Aubrey Plaza Revealed we talked about a few weeks ago. She is playing death um And this is the MCU what she looks like as death death is of course who Thanos is in love with in the comic books um She is playing the MCU version of that um So yeah, it's a great show next week's the finale I'll talk about those last two episodes next week um And another great episode of the penguin this week not as good as the week before but still very very good um episode 5 of the penguin um The Moroni's family has been taken out by Oz Sal is in prison and he escapes Vic and Vic get sent by Oz to his mother to get her out of her apartments and he thinks it's gonna be retaliation and
00:33:38
Speaker
for all the shit he's done for the Moronies, and of course, Sofia's pissed off Adam, too, for for ratting on her. So, Vicken goes and picks up his mother, brings her to where he used to live in the slums that were destroyed by the flood of the first movie. And then, i think a towards the end of the episode, Oz goes and meets them up with an in an apartment that has no power, no electricity, it's all been destroyed, but they're hiding out there because Oz knows he has a target on his back, and... anybody who wants to retaliate against him is going to retaliate ah against his mother and anybody close to him and so on and so forth. um Setting up something I knew was going to happen in the beginning of the season that once his mother passes, which is going to happen, um he is going to become the penguin that we know and what we've always known. Julian played by Theo Rossi.
00:34:26
Speaker
um Takes a place at Sophia's counsel close by by her side used to be a doctor at Arkham State spent had a century He got fired and now he's working for Sophia in her new crime organization. Have you heard the theory that he's a figment of her imagination?
00:34:44
Speaker
interesting i did not hear that i saw that floattering and whatever is going through her mind at the time because a lot of times they show him and he's just kind of like smiling no whatever no interactions conscious of whatever whatever is going through her mind at the time um i saw yeah that's interesting out there um in our group chat actually on the discord um so yeah that's an interesting theory we'll have to keep an eye on i like that theory we'll keep an eye on that i like the other theories too but i like probably that one the best because I don't see him, his character really developing and any further in the season, really a few episodes left. Um, Sophia changes her name to her mother's maiden name instead of Falcone. She denounces the Falcone name completely in her family to Gigante. Sophia Gigante is her name and that's a Gigante crime family now. Um, and Oz is now versus a new Alliance of Sophia.
00:35:40
Speaker
and Sal Maroney, who are teaming up to destroy Oz. And Oz, at the end of this episode, finds his underground lair, which you know, the penguin. He lives in these dank under underground layers in the comic books and in everything you've ever seen him in, even in the 80, 90, no, 91, 92 Batman.
00:35:59
Speaker
He's that he does the same thing. So I'm great episode and I'm ah I'm ah Excited we got it like three episodes of the eight episodes. Yeah, we have three more of that. Um Comic book review second one this month, but I think it's fitting that we do it this week yeah um The crow special edition very quick i read this last night picked it up for the first time and i was done very quick yeah and an hour 15 minutes i was done with it um it's because it's mostly pictures but dialogue was short and that's and it was good yeah the yeah i've read some comic books that were long and hard to get through this was easy but the art was very very good
00:36:37
Speaker
Um, and it's all black and white. I don't have any of the art here, but you don't have to take my word for it. All all black and white, very artistic. Um, James LaBarr did a fantastic job telling the story. Very of course different poetic. Very poetic. A lot of poem lot of poems throughout it actually. A lot of poetry. Yes. A couple of things, um, I noticed too is, um, of course the new one is a reimagining of the story. In the beginning of this book, you see the horse with the barbed wire, which was in the new movie, which I didn't think about when I was watching the new movie.
00:37:07
Speaker
Um, I still think they call it a much better story You have the car if they'd stuck closer to this book then read than doing their own story. But um Yeah, that's just one thing I noticed about it that um from the new movie took from it Yeah, the car thing was a big deal. He was killed in a car instead of their apartment. Even though they did have an apartment in the book Um, they weren't killed there um yeah A lot of the iconic scenes that you remember from the movie were kind of ripped out of this book. I didn't notice that a lot, the artistic part of it. um Like him sitting in front of the window of his apartment. A lot a lot of scenes in the movie were like that too. yeah um Overall, great fucking book. and It's ah it' a classic if it's classic comic book, classic movie.
00:37:51
Speaker
forget the last four or five movies after it just we'll just talk about from now on this point forward how fantastic that first movie is and and how how much of a classic it is it's definitely one of those movies you probably want to watch every year this time of year on devil's night for sure um venom the last dance canceled we did not watch it reviews are just like we expected horrible official reviews saying that the movie is dumb does not give it a lot of reason it for us to go out of our way right but a lot of people are saying it could be better than the first one maybe even the second one however just the story that they're trying to tell i did see a few spoilers because i didn't see it and i don't really care like i'm not invested in the sony universe because they've done us wrong
00:38:41
Speaker
Um, every movie I've seen from them has been bad. And I, you know, my feelings on Venom, it's my favorite. We talked about it last week, my favorite character in the Marvel universe. And they have not done it justice. They have, and I talk about it all the time.
00:38:54
Speaker
that there are comic books, histories, 70 years of comic books. The MCU and the dc DCU seems to get it right that just adapt the comic book stories. Get down to the general consensus of what these stores write.
00:39:13
Speaker
then the movies and But what they kind have done at the there? Yeah, the blueprints there. They could have done a that good Venom story. Even if they couldn't use Spider-Man, they could still at least mention yeah him or just do a better overall story. um But also at the same time, like at least the Venom movies are the first one anyways. I wasn't a big fan of the second one.
00:39:32
Speaker
at least that was fun and Tom Hardy was a lot of fun to watch because to me Venom's always been kind of goofy like he's a dude that swings around and bites people's heads off like you need to find a better balance though between the goofy and the serious where you can't go all camp and then like it's almost too much that like they could have done a little bit more serious with them but um I know you like Venom a lot more than me so I love the character Venom. I love Tom Hardy as Venom. But everything surrounding those movies is horrible. Like the story, every every character besides Tom Hardy is horrible. Even the way I have some problems with the way Tom Hardy depicts the character. He's not the reporter for for for for one. um He's more of a blogger in the beginning of the first movie. but
00:40:17
Speaker
We'll get into this when the movie comes out on digital probably in a couple weeks because Joker came up today for comes out on Tuesday fully ado. So we'll talk about that next week. But now let's get into some great movies. Number one.
00:40:32
Speaker
substance this just came out i'm so glad you watched this i did not want to well you told me to wash it i've been hearing i've been hearing a lot of not here yeah i've been hearing a lot about it too stars demi more playing a old hollywood um she's basically jane fonda jane fonda type character um starring her dennis quad and another girl like don't her name's on the posted i can't see it from here margaret's something I don't want to get into the spoilers like you said of anything. Everybody should see this movie. The reason why it caught my radar is because not only is it being said it's one of the best horror movies ever made.
00:41:14
Speaker
But it's one of the best movies this year. So I caught my radar, caught your radar too. So you watched it and I watched it. Loved it. um Four and a half out of five for me. Absolutely. There is some very horror like elements of this that we need to talk about later on. Maybe it's a throwback. It's it's body horror. So think of like things like the fly, um yeah which I had on my list to watch this year, but then the substance came out. So I decided to watch this instead.
00:41:41
Speaker
The Fly is a fantastic movie, Cronenberg is fantastic, but it's body horror, um which makes it a traditional horror. Basic story is Hollywood. What's the price of fame and beauty? it But at what cost? If you get the fame and the beauty, what costs to come?
00:41:57
Speaker
basic down the level story of what this movie is about. It's just fantastic. Don't know anything about the director or story or anything. Just know it was a great movie. Might be Demi Moore's best performance. Could be. She got nominated for an Oscar. Did she win for G.I. Jane? I can't remember, but I know she's nominated. I don't remember.
00:42:14
Speaker
Um, but she is absolutely fantastic in this movie. Uh, also fantastic. Um, we'll keep you guessing. Oh, very over the top script. We'll keep you guessing. It's one of the best written things is I heard before I saw it and I full hardly agree that it's an incredibly well done script. Um, yeah, go out of your way to see this. It comes out digitally on 29th. So Tuesday, Awesome. Another movie I've been kind of excited for. However, it did not hit the landing. I was i was i know a lot of people loved it, but for me, um Woman of the Hour, directed by Hannah Kendrick, is probably like a 3 out of 5 for me. um Not that I go out and watch it again, but it's just I already knew the story and and it was over-dramaticized a little bit. um And by the by about the halfway mark, I was getting a little bored with it.
00:43:06
Speaker
um But it does show just show this guy going on a murderous rampage going on the dating game um And being picked and kind of and the reason why she didn't go out on a date with him is because he was creepy as fuck um I like that part of the story, but the rest of his kind of it was kind of crap I don't know to each his own but three out of five for me That's on Netflix if you do want to see it, but ah yeah, not really for me. Um, so this week I I was getting into kind of a slump like, oh, we're at the end of Halloween. What the fuck am I going to watch? I know we've got all these movies and TV shows we've we've been talking about and so on and so forth. And um a show that came out on Netflix in 2019 never watched. Did you ever watch this show when it came out a long time ago? Yeah. When it came out six years ago, five years ago. And of course we're talking about the haunting of Hill House.
00:44:01
Speaker
This is a show, well, number one, the first time I ever heard about it, we were in school, we read the book, The Haunting of Hill House, but there's also a movie with The Haunting, came out with Liam Neeson, Catherine Zina Jones, um Owen Wilson was in it, and yeah, came out right when we were in high school, so big, big deal back then. Liam Neeson's right directly off of Um, Star Wars, right after he'd done Qui-Gon, this movie came out, so he's already a big huge blockbuster star at that point. Um, but this show is based on- this show is based off of that, mostly based off the book, but also retelling the story as well. I fucking loved this show.
00:44:47
Speaker
ah Four and a half out of five if I had to rate it. I never saw it when it came out It's uh, it's Mike Flanagan, right Mike Flanagan. We're gonna talk about a little bit later, but Based off the novel came out in 1959 done by Shirley Jackson, which we read in school I don't know if you read that or not if you remember reading it, but I do remember reading it And it had another film adaptation in 1963. Like you mentioned, Mike Flanagan created, wrote it, produced it, was a showrunner. He did other anthology series, The Haunting of Bly Manor, a couple of years after that. Midnight Mass, The Midnight Club, and the one we talked about during, I believe it was the Emmy season. We were talking, what the fuck is the fall of the House of Usher? That's another story in his universe. They're not connected.
00:45:34
Speaker
All he does is write hits. But they're sequels. Yeah, all he does is write fucking... All he does is write hits. And I had no idea who this guy was this week, and I'm... I just did a deep dive on him. We're gonna get to that in a minute, but... They're all sequels, but they're not connected. They're all new individual stories every season that he comes out with, but he's the writer and producer on all of them. And a lot of the same cast returns for every one of these series, too. One of the leads, the mother in... Hill House is the lead of Fall of Usher, and she was the one that was getting all the Emmy nominations back in the fall, like a couple months ago. Henry Thomas, Elliot from E.T. Carla Giugino, she's the one that's getting all the Emmy nods this year. McKenna Grace, who was in Ghostbusters. Michael Huseman, he's in Rebel Moon, he's in Game of Thrones. He plays the lead in this.
00:46:29
Speaker
um Ten episodes each centered on the beginning is each centered on one of the family members um They're living in a haunted house that slowly destroys the family from winning. I love this um And I'm going the deep dive. I think in a little bit more into what Mike Flanagan does speaking of that another Mike Flanagan production but a Stephen King novel that he adapted in 2019 doctor sleep never saw this saw the shining and The movie was co-written by King Sun, wasn't it? Yes. King and his son wrote it? Yes, the book, yes. I want to check on that, okay. Yeah. 2019, this is a sequel to The Shining. This is Danny, growing up, Ewan McGregor playing Danny. And Rebecca Ferguson, who is in, I believe, the Mission Impossible movies with Tom Cruise. Am I correct on that? I think so. Yeah, I'm seeing her in a few other things, but this is directed by Mike Flanagan Expanded the lore of the shining Explored the shine which was briefly talked about in the first shining And the overlook hotel plays a big part at the end of the movie Henry Thomas has a cameo spoiler. I needed to show the picture
00:47:40
Speaker
He plays Jack Nicholson. He plays a Jack Nicholson character. At the end of The Shining, you know, Jack Nicholson gets sucked into The Shining, into the hotel as kind of a ghost. And he's the bartender that he met, that Jack Nicholson met in the first Shining. He's now the bartender of that bar. And Henry Thomas is playing Jack Torrance, which is awesome.
00:48:03
Speaker
um Now watching this, of course, I got in the deep Mike Flanagan. There's some Mike Flanagan news has to do with Stephen King of all things this week. We're going to talk about later. But next year, I kind of mentioned it to you off-pod already. um When we do Halloween, I want to do classics, universal monsters, whatever, Hitchcock.
00:48:22
Speaker
um And Stephen King and we'd already talked about how Stephen King's kind of one of those movies that are kind of like hit and miss um I never saw Carrie never saw the first care. I've got pet cemetery for that I've got four I've never seen that will that I'll say for next year plus we'll do Carrie I am I'm gonna include pet cemetery cuz I've seen that since I was like six years old which sounds a lot Should not have seen that I've never seen the original sales lot, but I was yeah I should not have seen a lot of these movies back when I did um It's probably why I'm so fucked up now, but yes really definitely get to some Stephen King I want to watch silver bullet which is a vampire movie that might have be the one with Christopher Walken So yeah, there's a few movies from him I haven't seen that I want to see so I'll put that together for next year awesome awesome um Gonna try to get through this as quick as I can but that's our talk for that final part of the conjuring watch that I did this week I watched all five of these movies on top of everything else and
00:49:19
Speaker
Annabelle Creation, The Nun, Annabelle Comes Home, The Conjuring 3, and The Nun 2. 50-50 on all of these movies. The the the worst Conjuring movie. The worst Conjuring movie on the bunch is this one. um The ones I watched the week before are the better ones. Annabelle Comes Home. I loved that. The Nun. One of the worst rated movies of the series. Rightfully so.
00:49:46
Speaker
um Annabelle Creation, I actually liked it. They told the story of how the doll was made and how the doll became possessed in the beginning. I liked that one. The Nuntoo just watched that last night or the night before. That was okay. So overall, we're about okay on this part portion of the watch. Last week's watch was much better.
00:50:04
Speaker
um The other puzzle piece, I think we forgot to mention last week, these movies were co-created with James Wan with Peter Safran, who, if you know, we talk about him all the time, running DC Studios with James Gunn. Most successful horror franchise of all time is The Conjuring Universe with over $2 billion at the box office. And concerning the movies, they made for like $50 million each, seemingly. That's insane.
00:50:32
Speaker
I think it was a 280 million or $250 million dollars combined budget for all of these movies and making $2 billion dollars for all of that is incredible returns. So um first movie, Annabelle Creation 2017, directed by David S. Sandberg. He directed Lights Out. Another movie I hear is good. Have you ever seen Lights Out? I hear it's good. I don't know anything about it. He also directed the Shazam movies. Yeah, he did the Shazam movies. I have not seen Lights Out. He's done a few other horror movies, though, I believe outside the country.
00:51:02
Speaker
Set in 1942 1955 strange twist at the end of this movie connecting the crippled girl Janice To the first Annabelle movie the satanic worshippers to end up killing themselves and going into the Annabelle doll um There's a weird twist with that like I mentioned like you mentioned 15 million dollar budget 306 million to box office 70% of rotten tomato right about where I thought it was too and The Nun 2018 movie was teased in Annabelle Creation with a photograph that was shown in that movie. I have it right here, but I don't think I put it in the notes today. I didn't. That's okay. um There's a picture of a few nuns and in the the Varric. The nun that was the bad demon nun was hidden in the background of that photo. but
00:51:48
Speaker
um Starring Tess Tysia, I don't know how to say her name, but um Vera, who is the star of The Conjuring, is her so shared little sister who plays the the the girl in that's a nun in this movie. um Set in 1952, France, another twist of this movie is a connection to the first Conjuring movie.
00:52:08
Speaker
The guy, Frenchie, is the one that that Lorraine ends up doing the exorcism from. The um one that the demon, the non-demon comes from. It comes from him, and it gets to that. and We'll get to that in a minute, maybe. But 22 million dollar budget, 366 million dollar box office. Largest box office of the whole series, by the way. um Worst movie rated of the series, 24% of Rotten Tomatoes.
00:52:34
Speaker
ah annabel Annabelle comes home. I like this movie um Gary Doberman debut as a director written Annabelle 2 & 3 the non co-writer of it 1 & 2 this came out in 2019 Vera Farmiga Patrick Wilson return with McKenna grace playing the daughter Judy um she was of course in ghostbuster we talked about her earlier but um Story of the Warrens first finding the Annabelle doll and initially looking locking it away. um Before it escapes to wreak havoc and terrorize their daughter. I thought what they did for their their artifact room in this movie was awesome. A lot of the artifacts that we saw in the Conjuring movies came to life in this. I thought it was great.
00:53:15
Speaker
$32 million dollars budget, $231 box office, another one. The same came out right before the pandemic, 64% rotten tomato. um The Conjuring and the Devil made me do it. This came out during the pandemic. It was one of those day day-to-day um in the theater release on Max releases. um Directed by Michael Chaves. He's directed The Nun 2. He's gonna be directing The Last Rites, the last Conjuring movie that comes out next year.
00:53:41
Speaker
um this is a 1981 real case in connecticut where they bring the warrens in to investigate a murder case um bring him to court where the defendant proclaims that the devil made him kill his landlord true story they actually went in and did this um tells a story of that and and in a in a of course these all movies are all dramaticized for for theaters but um tells the story of of what happened kind of there 48 million dollar budget, 206 million dollar box office, even being on max, that's pretty good. um Had uh, 55% rotten tomatoes, sounds about right to me, this is at least my least favorite of the Conjuring movies. um And The Nun 2, Vera's sister returns, plays the lead, Storm Reed, who's in aunt who's in Euphoria, she was kind of a weird placement in this movie, but she plays The Nun, she plays Zendaya's sister in Euphoria.
00:54:33
Speaker
um Set in 1956, the nun returns, the nun demon returns, and they have to fight it off in this one. Mid-credits scene, you see Ed Warren receives a call from the turf church, setting up a next final film, The Conjuring, The Last Rites, and that comes out next year. um And Maurice, of course, I mentioned in the beginning, is the guy, of the lead of this, that is the one that's possessed by the demon, that eventually goes into Lorraine, and hold we know that whole story.
00:55:01
Speaker
um $269 million dollars at the box office. This came out last year. um Overall... it that Is that the one that Patrick Wilson directed? i He hasn't directed one yet. little He directed he made his he made his director. He's a conjuring movie What's that? Yeah, those movies I've never seen Yeah, but yeah, he did that and I know he's a big part of that too. And that's James one as well um So overall I get them used last week's watch were my favorite movies conjuring one conjuring two um Those were fantastic movies and yeah great
00:55:40
Speaker
Movie I'm not so high on. I know you're high on, not not me. Jason lives Friday the 13th, parts six, right? Okay, here's the thing about this movie. They're just having so much fun. It's 1986. The sixth installment, obviously, of the Friday the 13th franchise. um Were these coming out? They were just having so much fun. Yeah, this was still there yearly. A yearly? Okay, that's what I was going to ask you. They were coming out every Halloween, probably. yep every year um but this one was just it's just so much fun and camp to it that i just have a lot of fun watching it it's always also it was very rarely on tv so i didn't get to see it during amc like movie marathons they play seven a lot they play
00:56:24
Speaker
five one two and three a lot um four and six were never really played a lot on tv back in the day so i saw this one much later than i should have um but like there's a couple things in this um that i put in the notes that i really like um the cold open ala james bond um where he walks out and he slashes it's just stripped it's ripped right out james bond um and what I would have done too is this film was this movie was filmed to be shown in black and white because um the director is such a huge fan of all the old school horror movies is I would have had the entire opening in black and white until the Jason comes across and does the slice and then you see the blood
00:57:04
Speaker
um i think that would have been a cool uh choice um of course there's tons of references to horror legends i just put a few in the notes station in carpenter that is surrounding town is carpenter named after john carpenter of halloween um carlos general store of course the old actor that was in all the old movies carlos and uh cunningham road um Cunningham, um, I'm blanking on his first name, but he was the guy that created the Friday 13th franchise. Okay. So I liked the little like homages to that. Um, like you said, the opening, um, you put in the notes here, that is Horschach Horschach from, uh, welcome back, Carter. Yes. Uh, fucking hilarious. Because who else didn't welcome back Carter, John Travolta, correct? Yeah. Yeah.
00:57:55
Speaker
Whose nephew is in Friar 13, Part 6? John Gavroza's nephew is the one having sex in the RV. Wow, okay. So I thought that was a little tie-in. um I thought you would find that kind of funny. And of course, the the whole the line of the movie, well there's a ton of lines in this movie because they're all fucking great. The one I picked up on. The one you picked up on was, hold on, it's gonna be a hairy road when his face is in that chick's lap when they're driving.
00:58:21
Speaker
Another one of my favorites is um, do you have the license plate and he goes I got the whole enchilada What's he say when he has like this little like laser pointer on his gun and he's like when the red dot dot hits you kapow or something like that, um, I This movie just can't be fun, like, they weren't taking it too seriously. It got pretty good reviews when it was released. The issue with the box office was it was released the same weekend as Aliens.
00:58:52
Speaker
Okay. So it got absolutely fucking murdered at the box office by the sequel to Alien. I'll do it. yeah Overall, this is one of my favorite ones because it just it doesn't take itself seriously. They bring back Tommy, completely different actor, of course. Started off with Tommy Jarvis in 4, played by Corey Feldman. Then the guy in The Nut House in 5, and then I guess in this one he's just completely not insane anymore.
00:59:16
Speaker
um But yeah, i mean just it's good fun. they They kind of take the whole thing full circle because they were, of course, every time one of these were released. Whoever was writing it this time, it was the director.
00:59:28
Speaker
um was basically told like, kill him off, but don't don't kill him off. um So of course he kind of made a full circle and Andrew Jason being back at the bottom of the lake, yeah um which they filmed in post-production in the director's father's pool at the time. um So yeah, I mean, just overall, I just... I mean, overall, I find this incredibly fun. um One of my favorite ones from when I was a child, definitely. um but Yeah, I mean, it's fucking stupid at this point. It's fire 13th. Yes. And the next one is basically Jason versus fucking Darth Vader because she goes up against fights a girl has fucking TK. So, OK. Yeah. I'm moving. You recommended late in the podcast last week that we watched this week. Yes. About Sebastian Stan.
01:00:41
Speaker
movie called Fresh on Hulu. yeah This movie was rom com romcom in about the 33 minute mark all of a sudden everything changes in the credits role. I don't want to get into the spoilers of it but I really do want to get into it. The movie's been out for two years we're gonna hold off on it. Anybody who has not seen it Song of Hulu, starring Sebastian Stan and Daisy Edgar Jones, who was in Twisters. We just talked about her this past summer. Yes. When I saw that and I was like, what was she in? And you were like, I don't know. And I'm like, it's got to be something that I looked up. I need a few movies. You were like, no, that's someone else. That's someone else. And then I was like, fresh. That's what she was in.
01:01:18
Speaker
Yep. This movie is fucked up in a great way, and Sebastian Stan just can act his fucking ass off. That's all I'm gonna say about it. so The love story in the beginning is great. I was in love with the movie, and then it just takes a turn 30 minutes in. And I was also rooting for the love story throughout the whole fucking movie. That's what tells you how great this love story was. yeah Maybe it'll turn, maybe it'll turn. It did not turn.
01:01:43
Speaker
We'll get it. I don't want to get into the spoiler anybody has not seen this movie You new you want to talk about it a little bit maybe five minutes after we do news? We just do end the pod on talking about it. Sure. We'll do a spoiler review of that um yes But yeah, it's great. ah You want to talk about a movie. I saw you posted on a Twitter about this I'm gonna ask you about it the collector. He did a watch yesterday. Yes watching it.
01:02:04
Speaker
yes i did um this is a movie that came out in 2009 um i hadn't seen it in probably about 10 years um last time i saw it was um where i lived with vic over on the mountain and he was going to bed early i think he might have been sick or something and me and his girlfriend were like all right let's stay up and watch some horror movies so we went to rubies we got some pizza we got some irish nachos I love Irish nachos. You just replaced the tortilla chips with potato skins. They're amazing. They're amazing. So we got a bunch of food. we We did some stuff that made us really hungry. Had the munchies and we sat down and we watched this back to back with the human centipede. Oh boy. I made her talk about this night often because it was she hates me for that night. But we also had a lot of fun watching it. Basically, this movie is
01:02:53
Speaker
It's like, don't breathe mixed with saw. So basically I'm not going to give any spoilers. It's basically this guy's a career criminal. He's out of jail. He's fixing up this house. I believe he's a locksmith. Um, these people are having their house renovated. They're fucking millionaires. And he knows for a fact they had this like jewel in their house or whatever, right? So his, he's got like an eight year old daughter.
01:03:17
Speaker
who he barely sees his ex-wife is in for a lot of money. And he has basically till midnight to get this money. So he knows these people are going on vacation that day. So he basically breaks into their house. It's going to be a quick five minute job. He knows right where the safe is. He knows how to break into safes as he's breaking into the first safe. He hears some noises in the house. Well, the people never made it on their vacation. Um,
01:03:44
Speaker
and they're basically in the house being tortured. by this dude with this like, it's almost like this really thick mask and it has like blue eyes, very creepy. um You find out later in the movie who the dude is in relation to these people. um You see him earlier in the movie, you just don't realize it yet. um But overall, very just intense film. It's a very cat and mouse type movie. um The main dude that's in it plays like a henchman in The Dark Knight Rises. I can't think of his name, but he's one of those guys that if you saw him, you'd be like, oh, I've seen him and stuff.
01:04:16
Speaker
Okay. um But overall, very good. um There's a couple things to break it up like the parents are in the house and like their teenage daughter. like who gets in an argument with them like earlier in the movie, like Lee, she's like, fuck you guys. And she knows they're gone. So she comes with her boyfriend back to the house. And so this guy that's breaking in as a jewel thief ends up trying to to help these people. And it doesn't go very well for anyone involved. um But i I really, really enjoyed this movie. And I just was on my computer organizing things. And I came across it and I was like, I have not watched this movie forever. I'm just going to randomly just watch it.
01:04:54
Speaker
And I love it just as much as I did back when I saw it in 2012. It's very good. Awesome. A lot of cheese. Apparently there's three of them. I've only seen the first two. So I may have to look into the third one. Okay, cool. um Last week we left off, before we get into news, we're going to do a recap of New York Comic Con. Tom Hardy was on stage talking about Venom the Last Dance. um Talked about, I was asked, um What would make him return to the franchise as Venom? He says this is always been he's always been saying this is his last time as a character in Eddie Brock um What's gonna take what's gonna take for you to return? um and He says well um Facing off against spider-man would be the one reason I would return that would be that would be it and I believe if that happened I
01:05:42
Speaker
Spoiler for the movie, I know we haven't seen it, but I did see this. At the end of the movie, he does return to New York City and becomes a reporter for the Daily Bugle. I don't know if they're trying to set up anything MCU related or what with that, or just just just to make the fans happy, I don't know. But I did see that today, even though we haven't seen the movie. um But he did say I would like to fight Spider-Man, and would like to do it now. Never say never.
01:06:10
Speaker
um They did, a Aaron Taylor Johnson came out, showed some footage of so bloody footage from Craven the Hunter. Some new stills came out for that. Looks great. Again, Sony. um DC released a whole bunch of comic book stuff.
01:06:28
Speaker
um They announced the absolute fall. We already knew about Superman that comes out next month same with absolute what Wonder Woman Wonder Woman did and a flash comes out in March on these are we talked about all absolute Superman last week um and Not Superman Batman but and these these this is that universe with these characters for the Justice League also They talked about Absolute Manhunter, Marcia Manhunter, which looks so wacky. The art looks crazy, Ditko crazy. I actually liked it. Me too.
01:07:07
Speaker
um and Green Lantern was there, and the other thing they talked about, not DC related, but Marvel related, they're doing another, ah like Logan, like the old man Logan, they're doing a Daredevil version of that, and that's the bottom right there. Where Daredevil's kind of in ah an apocalyptic, ah after apocalyptic type era.
01:07:27
Speaker
um Where he's living in in in Hell's Kitchen. He's still Daredevil, but um He's older now and more grizzled just like old man. Logan. I thought that was pretty cool. Nice. Um Spider-man 2 is releasing on a PC officially announced for January 30th. They did announce that me remove this from me so People are gonna mob that game like crazy the mod should be fucking really cool.
01:07:53
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, it will be. I The DLC for Spider-Man 2, there was supposed to be DLC. Not only was it rumoured, I believe it was announced at one time, but the Sony people that did the game for PS3 decided, or PS5 decided to
01:08:13
Speaker
Get rid of it all completely. There's no DLC anymore. No plans for releasing it. um Which makes me think they're going to be releasing a third game sooner rather than later. but yeah um Official synopsis of Daredevil Board again was released. um Matt Murdock, a blind lawyer with highlighted abilities, is fighting for justice through his a bustling law firm while former mob boss Wilson Fisk pursues his own political endeavors in New York City.
01:08:42
Speaker
ah When their past identities begin to emerge, both men find themselves on an inevitable collision course. um It will release on March 4th in 2025. It was officially announced the date. i' Very excited for that. um And the big thing of New York Comic Con was the trailer for Creature Cremandos, which I fucking loved. And in the trailer,
01:09:07
Speaker
We see Clayface, so they're bringing in Batman villains. So the thing is, this show is like it's kind of like a tease of what's going to happen in the DCU. So I can see it basically being filled with Easter eggs of what we're going to potentially see in the DCU. And how dope would it be if he's already cast his ah Batman and we get a voice performance at some point? Interesting. Yeah. Interesting. That would be like a very interesting.
01:09:36
Speaker
Um, but yeah, the first person James Gunn was on hand He said the first person that he cast in the DCU was Maria bakalova who was in Borat um She's been a few things since then but the big her big breakout role was the daughter of Borat in Borat, too um But she was the first person she cast for I believe creature commandos. I don't know her role in that but um Biologia Wasn't she the dog in Guardians? Yes, Guardian. She's the voice of the dog. Yeah. Yeah um Viola Davis and Linda Waller, um she was the last major Creature Cremandos character that they recorded. um She brought everything together for the show. Creature Cremandos has references to the Peacemaker and the Suicide Squad movies that he did.
01:10:24
Speaker
um But you don't need to have to watch those beforehand. So we're still trying to figure out where those are connected to this universe. um We know that they're going to be coming out soon as Peacemakers currently filming as we speak. so um um James Gunn said there's going to be an R-rated sex scene.
01:10:42
Speaker
between Rick Flag and Maria Bacalova's character in Creature Commandos, um, teases that a video of Frank Grillo and Maria Bacala attempting to voice the sex scene will be released when that episode releases episode two. He's gonna release that video of them talking, doing voices. I can't wait for that. There's a certain segment of fans that are not going to be happy about this for some reason.
01:11:03
Speaker
um episode four is the saddest thing he's ever written and he wrote guardians three um and it's the it's the it's the uh one i wanted to get bright he says um and they also cast michael rooker linda cardellini and pierce uh sarah fennowitz um and uh and ben davis so i don't know who that is but the other three i do ah we're all big cast and in the creature commandos and they will appear in that um Very exciting um he also released pictures of official Funko pops are coming out for the creature commandos He says he's gonna get every single one of them um And John Cena is doing a great job with peacemaker 2
01:11:40
Speaker
He also announced that Aaron Pierre almost played Adam Warlock in Guardians of the Doxy Volume 3. Internet went crazy for that too. Of course, he's been cast for The Lantern Show, which I'm excited for. They released today a video of him working out for that. It looked awesome.
01:12:00
Speaker
um Talks about Supergirl movie. um it's going to be It's going tremendously well. It's a connected universe, but we're not we're not imposing an overall aesthetic. In other words, you don't have to watch one thing to get to know the next thing. It's not all it's connected, but it's not. They're going to start shooting that in England in January. um and He just saw the screen test with Millie Alcock, and it did officially announce he's based off of Tom King's Woman of Tomorrow, which we just read recently.
01:12:29
Speaker
um And he also said, talking about the Superman trailer, uh, it won't be too long before we see a trailer, but also won't be too soon. I'm guessing next month. We've already talked about December's, this seems to be the date, yeah maybe Super Bowl II. Um, and he says, the Damon Core sweat will blow people the fuck away as Superman. I don't think anyone really understands the depth of this guy's talent dramatically, comedically, and physically.
01:12:54
Speaker
all character attributes i want to see in superman so i'm excited for that um yeah i'm i'm pumped up and if you say what you say about creature commandos there's going to be like a trailer for the dcu i'm excited for that and i hope we do see those easter eggs throughout that'd be awesome um with that being said uh we are over an hour but i don't have anywhere to go anymore so we can go as long as we need to um okay let's get into news
01:13:26
Speaker
And it's not a new something with a trailer roundup Just one trailer, but I wanted to bring it up because it did look pretty fucking cool Kiyo Kwon comes in in a movie called love hurts comes out on February 7th of next year Where he doing he's pulling a Jackie Chan. and He's doing an action romantic movie um with him in Ariana de bro de bois from Hamilton and West Side Story, the Steven Spielberg remake. um It just looks great. He does a great job with the action. He used to be a stuntman before he didn't he came back and and won his Oscar last year. He was a stuntman for the like the last 25 years, 30 years. So he's taking all of that talent and becoming the lead star in this movie, this action movie. It looked great. um Yeah, i'm I'm excited to see what else he can do. So, excited for that.
01:14:14
Speaker
We can box office last week smile to 23 million the wild robot 10 million ah Terrifier three nine point three million a lot of people saying smile to is good i I do want to see it cuz I want to see what Jack Nicholson son doesn't that how the character first one's good, too I never saw it.

Crossed the $25 million dollars box office earlier this week, but yeah. um Movies doing gang buss gangbusters considering what it was made for. Deadpool and Wolverine had passed Barbie, becoming the 12th highest grossing movie of all time domestically. Now on digital if you want to see it. um The fifth episode of The Penguin achieved the series highest viewership to date.
01:15:07
Speaker
um This past Sunday with 1.8 million viewers on HBO and max across both platforms Very exciting for that show keeps growing every week um and John Turturro says he declined to return as Carmine Falcone in the penguin because he thought there was a a lot of violence towards women in the show and he says that's not my thing. This doesn't make any sense. He literally chokes a woman in the Batman. Yes. I was getting into that. In the show, his character doesn't do any of that. In the show, his character doesn't do any of that. His character's just in the show. Yeah, whatever. I just don't think he wanted to do it. That was his excuse. That's basically what I think it was.
01:15:46
Speaker
um Talked about him last week. In a new movie about sammy ja Sammy Davis Jr. and Kim Novak as a drama directed by Coleman Domingo, we talk about him on Euphoria when we talked about him, but um it's called Scandalous. It's about the 1950s romance between the two of them um and it was interracial romance and what that did to both of them in her career mostly at the time in the 1950s.
01:16:12
Speaker
um I always say like I love biopics. I love shit like that Sammy Davis He is a great actor and I mentioned it last week when we saw alien Romulus He is going to be one of the next rising stars of Hollywood and this is your yeah first first plant in that speaking of him Yeah, also announced this week ah Sequel to alien Romulus is in the works director Fedi Alvarez Planning on maybe returning but Cali spinning Kelly spinning and David Johnson are set to return um And I'm not sure when it's gonna be coming out But the sequel has been greenlit very excited for that because the way that movie left off I wanted to see more what was gonna happen to those two characters. So that's exciting exciting news speaking of alien Romulus and
01:16:57
Speaker
They're coming out with a limited edition VHS, actual working VHS of Alien Romulus. Very, very limited edition. Looks awesome. But it's going to be the full four by three aspect ratio too. So that's great. Also announced officially this week in 2027, a sequel to Planet of the Apes is coming out. A sequel to the Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes came out this year. So that was announced this week.
01:17:25
Speaker
um Chris helms works we talked about last week theyre gonna be doing a disney prince charming movie and chris hems Helmsworth is in talks to play the main character Prince Charming in that movie. um It's either him or Chris Evans or one of the Chris's that's going to be in that because they're all the yeah ones they pick for these type of movies. but um announced today or yesterday 4k blu-rays of all of these shows Loki season 2 Hawkeye Mandalorian season 3 and Ahsoka season 1 all coming out with all the special features and 4k coming out on December 3rd pre-orders at the end of the month on Halloween day if you want to if you're still into the digital physical media speaking of Star Wars some official art
01:18:13
Speaker
from the acolyte came out now that shows been canceled however the big thing of that was Darth Plagueis and this is what the character was going to look like with the lightsaber and all eventually if it had actually shown and and and and come to come to pass but did not It's not going to be continuing either, but um every every art that we've ever seen in Darth Plagueis write down to what this character looked like in the show. so It's too bad. I don't know if it'll continue ever in a car comic book, cartoon, or whatever, but I do want to see that story play out, but I don i don't know if we will or not. um That's later on. Don't look at that yet. Steven Knight was going to be the screenwriter of the Star Wars movie starring Daisy Ridley, a follow-up to Rise of Skywalker.
01:18:59
Speaker
Um, he has left that project that was announced today from a variety. Um, don't know much about what's going on behind the scenes. Um, star, wars star Wars is kind of in a, on the back burner right now, yeah except for the live action TV shows. Anything, right. Disney can't do anything right with this franchise that comes to the big screen. Um, yeah, it's unfortunate because these should be seen on the big screen.
Broadway and Netflix Announcements
01:19:23
Speaker
Speaking of unfortunate, mixed reviews I've here heard, but Back to the Future, of the musical, is going to be leading Broadway, doing their final performance on January 5th of next year, just a couple months away. um It's more like a jukebox musical from what I hear. A lot of Huey Lewis music is played throughout it, but retelling the first movie of Back to the Future.
01:19:43
Speaker
um Yeah, I don't know. I don't know if I'd ever want to go see something like that or not, but... um Yeah. um Coming out on Netflix. This one I kind of excited for. January 7th. Two-part documentary about Jerry Springer.
01:19:57
Speaker
called Jerry Springer fights camera action um exploring everything about him his talk show um how it became a hit in the 90s and everything about that and all the jaw-dropping revelations that are gonna be happening in that kind of be cool Hans Zimmer ah the Dune 2 score has been ruled ineligible for an Oscars because he used a lot of the the music from the first one And you have to use more than, um you can't use more than 20% of pre-existing themes, and I guess he used it quite a bit from the first movie for the second movie soundtrack, so he will not be eligible for the Oscars on Zimmer. um I'll put this back up there. Dune 2 released a popcorn bucket called the A.R. Arena Popcorn Bucket.
01:20:42
Speaker
Set up like a gladiator to sorry set up like a coliseum and You can use AR to see an actual fight in the middle of your popcorn bucket if you get a little AR and you get a little QR code on there that you can scan and see the fight happening they showed a video of it online and Yeah, it looked decent, it looked cool.
Chick-fil-A Streaming and Legal Drama
01:21:03
Speaker
um The only reason I'm bringing this up is because there's a documentary on Netflix, but Lyle and Eric martin and Menendez, are going to they went to prison for murdering their parents. um The documentary is on Netflix right now um talking about how they went to prison, and how they were abused by their parents, and why they took the revenge out on their parents.
01:21:21
Speaker
um But they are going to be getting re-sentence. They may be out of prison because the documentary has brought a lot of light to the case. I don't know if you've watched it or not heard anything about the story. I know a lot of people are talking about it. I'm still like five or six episodes in. Every week I just get a reminder to like keep watching. So I watch like one episode a week. It's very good. They do take liberties with the story, but it's very good.
01:21:42
Speaker
Yep. But yeah, they're going to be re-trying that case. Chick-fil-A, we talked about it a while ago, they're going to be coming up with their new streaming service called Chick-fil-A Play. Well, that's what it is. And they're going to be doing their own content. They're a religious company. They're closed on Sundays. That's notorious for them.
01:22:02
Speaker
They're gonna be doing their own movies own television own content um that they're gonna be creating. They're all gonna own it I don't know if it's free. I don't know much about it. I don't think I wrote it down or anything um It's free service. That's what I did write it down and own animated shows scripted podcast cooking shows. So Yeah, if you want a free Chick-fil-A streaming service. There you go. um Elon Musk. Oh, Elon Musk. Last week and the week before, he debuted a whole bunch of new Tesla vehicles. And one of the vehicles, when I was watching the video a couple weeks ago, I was like, God, that looks a lot like Blade Runner.
01:22:42
Speaker
And well, I guess the producers thought the same thing because they ended up suing Elon Musk this week for ripping off their concept of their of their on their movie Blade Runner 2049. And the video that he played and the vehicles and everything, but the video mainly, I have i have a ah picture here of what he what the lawsuit is saying, the producers of the movie are saying Elon Musk stole.
01:23:05
Speaker
the top one is from blade runner and the bottom one is from the trailer that he played for tesla during his presentation a couple weeks ago looks almost up shit looks almost identical to what they uh... what they did but they are suing him trying to get money for copyright infringement suing tesla warner brother discovery as well so uh... yeah we'll see about that uh... we mentioned it we mentioned it uh...
Stephen King's 'Carrie' Adaptation and 'Blue Streak' Sequel
01:23:31
Speaker
earlier but Mike Flanagan is in talks to direct Carrie, a TV series in the works don't know where it's coming from. But yeah, excited for that because he's ah the only thing the only reason I'm excited about this series is because his name is attached. If there was anyone else, I would not be excited about this because we don't need it.
01:23:51
Speaker
But yeah we don't do the book justice for the first time. Of course, this is basically was great in the original movie. But like Carrie is supposed to be like this overweight girl and they haven't done that. I mean, they cast fucking Chloe Grace Maritz in the remake. right I mean, there's no way in any high school the planet should be bullied. Chloe Grace is beautiful. So like if they stick closer to the source material, this could be really good. And I have a lot of faith in Mike Flanagan involved.
01:24:16
Speaker
Yeah, and I had no idea who this guy was this week, but I'm in love with this guy. I think he's a great creator. um No idea who this guy was, and he's he's great. and yeah What he did with that Netflix show was amazing. Even Dr. Sleep um yeah announced today something I did not expect happening.
01:24:34
Speaker
um' what I'm awake, Alarm. ah Blue Streak, a sequel in the works. Martin Lawrence will produce the film. I love this movie. I know you do, too. I was going to say this is in my top 50 movies of all time. It's what I can go back to at any time. If I'm having a bad day, I can put it on and I feel fucking great. Like I fucking love this movie. It's one of my favorite movies of all time. And I can't believe we're getting a sequel fucking 20 years later.
01:24:59
Speaker
No, it's just the way the nostalgia is right now. That's what we're getting right now. 25 years later or whatever it is. Yeah, 25 years later. But this isn't even like a nostalgia. The movie wasn't... It's not like it did great back in the day. No. It was just a fun by the cop movie with one being a criminal. It did a lot for JC and Ja Rule's career though, that fucking video. Yeah, huge.
01:25:21
Speaker
yeah huge um matt reeves and wb are having discussions with victoria petredri i saw this on twitter i'm not sure if this is true or not i just wanted to bring it up on the podcast because i don't see matt reeves doing carly quinn but that's the rumor for being a good cast in this see him doing her before she becomes insane. Like having her work at Arkham Asylum. Maybe. um You know what I'm thinking. And then eventually doing that arc maybe in part three with the Joker, but I don't know, go on. She would be great as Victor Freese's wife.
01:26:00
Speaker
She is a very ghostly, because she's in haunting and she's a house the of Hill House. That's the only thing I've ever seen her in. And she is fantastic in that. She plays kind of a ghostly character in that. um And yeah, I think she would be a great, do a great job of that doing with flashbacks and stuff. um And if they if they do an ah adaptation ever, that it would be great. We've talked about it before. um We spoke about Agathar along earlier. They're going to be releasing an official tarot deck.
01:26:28
Speaker
on Amazon. um The episode last night all had to do with Tarot and ah Marvel's going to be releasing an Agatha All Along Tarot deck coming out on July 8th of next year.
Marvel and Upcoming Film Releases
01:26:40
Speaker
um Marvel had a big huge shake up this week. um They added new films to the 2028 release calendar for February, May, and November, but they also removed for next year's calendar, Blade, was removed from the calendar completely.
01:26:57
Speaker
not sure what's happening with blade the rumors today or the mission rehearsals as i met up with marbles as recent as last week he's still positive for the movie is okay with all the delays are happening is he's okay he's saying fuck it let's let's expand it let's get the story right let's get the producer of directors right let's get everything right is is what the rumors are but um as as of now not on the calendar right and we'll we'll we'll see we're not sure i have a feeling that like he kind of feels like he should have more creative involvement and they maybe now they saw the reception that Wesley Snipes got. Maybe they're thinking we can do it as we want and maybe because Secret Wars is supposed to soft reboot the universe or that's like the rumor. So maybe not have maybe have Wesley Snipes in there for that and then do displayed afterwards whether Mahershala is involved or not. Or he could become Martian Manhunter for all we know.
01:27:48
Speaker
Right, who knows? um I did see that too. um But when they removed Blade, they added a movie in its place, November 7th of 2025, Predator Badlands, sequel to Prey coming out. That's gonna be released in theaters this time too, so they took that took the spot for the Marvel movie. Yeah, excited for that. um A figure that got me so pumped up this week, so awesome, Mondo coming out with a Venom animated from the animated series in the 90s with a whole bunch of articulation, whole bunch of different hands, figures, faces, heads. This is right up your alley. This is awesome. This is made for you. 13 inches of venom. Guess what? It's sold out and I'm pissed about it. um But this comes out, um this comes out and I believe in December, but it just looks fucking awesome. And this is definitely one of those things that are shelf worthy.
01:28:41
Speaker
250 bucks I believe, but it's it does look awesome. um Rumors after everything happened with ah Venom and now that there's rumors of different projects being back on the table now, Sinister Six movie for for Sony, um now there's a rumor that the Silver Sable project is back on as well as Sony. um I believe at this point they're just grasping for straws to see what can stick um and everything that they've come up with has not stuck.
01:29:11
Speaker
I don't have a lot of faith for Craven the Hunter. um Didn't have a lot of faith for Venom either. only I only have faith for Craven because the writer is the same guy that did the Equalizer movies. So I know they're it's at least going to be full of action. And it's our reign, so there could be a lot of violence. I think it'll be entertaining. I don't think it's going to be very comic accurate, which is going to probably piss you off, but I could give a fuck about Craven.
01:29:35
Speaker
Right, and i care about the I care about the comic accuracy more than anything, especially for these characters. So I grew up in love, so. um Finally in news, Tom Holland, Tom Holland, Tom Holland. um He was on Jimmy Fallon, um but first he was talking about in an article for, um I don't know where he was where he was at, but he was talking about um bringing him Miles Morales into the Spider-Man movies. Kind of like Robert Downey Jr. ushered in him into the MCU. And Spider-Man, he wants to do the same for wherever frank whoever plays Miles Morales. That's what he wants for his next trilogy of movies. um But he was on Jimmy Fallon. He did confirm pretty much everything we already knew that Spider-Man 4 is happening. um We're going to start shooting next summer. And Dustin Daniels Fragg is going to be directing it. That's all we know so far.
01:30:25
Speaker
And finally in news Tom Holland Tom Holland Tom Holland After all this is said he has been cast alongside Matt Damon and Christopher Nolan's new film coming out in July of 2026 So we're gonna step with his shooting schedules and he's gonna be recording that film next year He must be shooting this movie beginning of the year. So that's what I'm guessing but gonna be starring in that movie rumored to be a horror movie about vampires in the 1920s have you heard that anywhere i saw that i wanted to put it i saw that no i saw a lot of people saying that it should not happen due to the fact that michael uh not michael de jordan but michael de georg's doing the ryan kugler movie which is literally the same exact description right um
01:31:07
Speaker
But with Nolan, he's going to give it a certain twist, so it's going to be completely under anything we've seen. Plus, the Kugler one's more of a horror movie, where this, I'm assuming, would not be. This would be more of an action sci-fi movie. Drama, yeah. Drama, yeah. But whatever Nolan does, I'm here for, so. Exactly. Whatever he does. He can put shit on paper, I would watch it, so. Yeah. um That's it for news. That's it for this week. Next week, beginning of the month,
