John Cena's Final WWE Matches
00:01:25
Speaker
hey what's going on hey what's going on man how are we doing not much doing good that's that scared that's good that's good the other night the other night i took a bunch of edibles and woke up verified on twitter so that was fun yes i saw you you sent me that notification
00:01:43
Speaker
ah Interesting. Yeah, that's my week. so Well, my week started last week with w WWE Crown Jewel. One of the last appearances of John Cena in the w WWE.
00:01:57
Speaker
um He faced AJ Styles for the last time. They faced each other, think, back in 2018 for the first time when AJ Styles came to the WWE. Yeah.
00:02:08
Speaker
great great match and there was a lot of nostalgic moves that john cena and aj styles were pulling out from past opponents um at one point he did the sister abigail who it was which was bray wyatt's move he did he did a pile driver it was crazy it was just like a retro cool match has just done well um and at one point He did the Walls of Jericho. And the big rumor, he's got four dates left, um two Raws, Survivor Series, and Saturday Night's main event in December in Washington, D.C. is his final match. And the rumor matches, rumored opponents, there's been a whole bunch of names from Dominic Mysterio to the big one was Gunther because they just want to push him because he's like one of the big guys right now.
00:02:59
Speaker
Yeah. um but people from his past it seems like this is like the best of john cenno tour um the rumors have been edge because he had a big huge run with edge in the like two thousand the rated arc superstar that all came out of that feud Um, the rumor is him jumping over from AEW, I guess, kind of contracts in limbo.
00:03:22
Speaker
The bigger rumor has been that, and it got fired to it. I'll talk about in a minute, but that Chris Jericho could be jumping over. Um, but but he's been in AEW since AEW came, came about, um, was the big name of the company. That's the big hire that Tony Khan had.
00:03:41
Speaker
Um, and his contract just ended this summer. And there's been speculation that he may be coming back to finish his career in WWE. wwe he should.
00:03:52
Speaker
Right, as he should. and hes he got his career in WCW, yes. But we all know how great of a wrestler he is and what WWE gave him from the ladders of success in w WWE.
00:04:07
Speaker
This week, he announced his cruise. He's had five cruises, I think. He has his Jericho cruise. No AEW superstars or wrestlers on that cruise this time whatsoever.
00:04:19
Speaker
So speculation and the fire to the flames this week was that, yeah, he's left AEW. So that opens the door for him coming back to potentially be John Cena's final opponent ah to the point where when John Cena hit the Lion Tamer,
00:04:37
Speaker
or Walls of Jericho, I guess they called it in WWE. um Chris Jericho reposted that on Instagram in a story. I know and Undertaker did the same thing when they did the Tombstone and everything. So everybody just happy to see this match. It's getting rave reviews.
00:04:53
Speaker
I loved it. One of the best matches I've seen this year. Um, and this is all, if you don't know how to get it, it's on ESPN. Um, if you have the ESPN unlimited thing, which I talked about a few weeks ago during, uh, not summer slam, but the last, uh, whatever the last pay-per-view was, but,
00:05:10
Speaker
um Yeah, great she great match. show is okay. Great match. Was this when he hit Sister Abigail or was that on yeah something else? yeah masterna Yeah, this is like um like... Yeah, that went viral. um Yeah, because he hit that Sister Abigail and then all the letters went up. But it was like no announcement, no nothing just happened.
00:05:29
Speaker
And this was crazy. um But yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing... He's got two Raws in November. he's got His homecoming in Boston... which will be his final appearance in Massachusetts. It'll be on Raw, I think, on November 11th.
00:05:42
Speaker
And then later on, a couple weeks later, maybe the 18th, is Madison Square Garden, which is, of course, the the home of the WWF, WWE, back in the day. And then Survivor Series, his last pay-per-view. It's going to be in San Diego at the end of the month. I think it's like November 30th. It's the weekend after Thanksgiving.
00:06:00
Speaker
um And Saturday night's main event in Washington, D.C., they won the... I guess they bid it. They bid high enough to have his final match happening in Washington, D.C. they have they've They put the olive branch out for the president to be there.
00:06:15
Speaker
um Not sure if he'll be there. um It's going to be pretty much what you'd expect from the UFC running a WWE program for this final match. It's going to be huge, huge business. um Tickets went on sale today. I don't know how they were running, but I know the demand is high, but the prices are even higher.
00:06:32
Speaker
So, it's crazy what the ticket prices are with TKO behind everything now. but Yeah, I think I saw the cheapest seats like $200 and it's like obstructed view. Yeah, that's nuts. That's crazy. Cheapest seats for us and we when we went were probably like, what, $15, $20? Oh, yeah. That was up in the rafters, but.
00:06:52
Speaker
Yeah, so very very excited to see these last four appearances. Not sure which appearances will actually have a match involved in it, but John Cena on his final run doing a great job showing his respect to wrestling, and this match definitely proved it last week. And if you haven't seen it, ah go hunt it down. some Some of the clips are on, like you mentioned, that's on gone viral on on Instagram
Gen V: Penultimate Episode Insights
00:07:17
Speaker
and and and and Twitter.
00:07:19
Speaker
ah Very, very good. um The other thing that we watched this week, I just watched it today actually, was Gen V, the penultimate episode. Have you watched it yet?
00:07:31
Speaker
yeah, I watched it Wednesday. What a great, great episode. Finally revealed who the mastermind and all the pulling the strings literally of everything going on. It's the kid from Wicked who's dating Ariana Grande in real life who plays the munchkin.
00:07:47
Speaker
um He's going to have a bigger role in the second movie without giving the spoiler away, but Um, yeah, he is Godoken with the school is named after and he was kind of frozen in time, but he was more of like a professor x Xavier type of character where he was, where he was controlling the cypher guy, um, who wasn't really cypher. He was kind of like a puppet master behind him and all of his moves and everything that he was doing.
00:08:12
Speaker
And he was controlling him the whole entire time while he was in this coma and the stasis down in the basement. um And once Marie touched him and healed him, um his true potential and his true form and his true motives came out.
00:08:24
Speaker
um And he just is basically like the Adolf Hitler of Supes. He wants to just make. all the heroes that are great, great, and all the weak ones he wants to murder, and he did murder one at the end, the one that had hands hands for feet.
00:08:39
Speaker
But, yeah, it's going to be a crazy, crazy, i think finale next week. going to be a crazy episode setting up what the boys' final season is going to be. And they're talking about there being a third season of this. i wasn't sure.
00:08:52
Speaker
But depending on how many people are watching it, they they did talk about it today in a couple of articles that there could be a third season. They already have plans for it. So, yeah, interesting. Interesting to see where this continues. but Um, I, I mentioned to you, I don't think you've had time probably this week to watch Tulsa King continue watching. No, no. Um, I finished it. I'm caught up. Uh, there are four episodes into the third season.
00:09:16
Speaker
And so I'm not going to get into anything, but wow, this show is amazing. Um, Sylvester Stallone, uh, did the, what was the, uh, incredible, not the Incredibles, the, um,
00:09:28
Speaker
but What was the what was a movie franchise he had like a decade ago? Not The Incredibles. the hell am I thinking? Expendables. Expendables. Yeah, Jesus. um Got kicked out of that franchise for being an asshole behind the scenes. From what we heard with Bruce Willis, I think was involved, something happened there. um Got kicked out of that franchise. Hollywood did not want anything to do with him.
00:09:50
Speaker
So he ran into TV with Tyler, what's his name, from... from Taylor Sheridan. Yeah, Taylor Sheridan from Yellowstone. Don't know anything about that. didn' Never watched it. um But they gave him a whole entire series to be this mob boss set out of Tulsa, Oklahoma.
00:10:06
Speaker
It's Tulsa King. um He used to be a mob boss in New York City. Moved to Tulsa and became the follow the king of Tulsa. The Tulsa King. And rounded up all these kind of weirdos.
00:10:20
Speaker
not Not necessarily mobsters, but he's kind of turning them slowly into mobsters. Best part about this is Martin Starr, who I love. I love him in all Judd Apatow movies and TV shows he's been in.
00:10:32
Speaker
So Martin Starr, part of this crew. um There's a bartender, I love him in this show. And his his driver... I've never seen him in anything else, but he's probably my favorite part of this show.
00:10:46
Speaker
He's the black kid who who drives him around, and he's become very, very ah thug-like. He almost worships him to the point of like the Godfather worship of a lot of people have now.
00:10:59
Speaker
but yeah This show is great. It airs every Sunday. um and i suggest uh probably catching up before the end of the season because i'm gonna be talking about some uh some crazy shit that may happen in the episodes coming and coming up but uh wow second season was great third season started off even better um the actors they get in the third season i don't know if you've seen any trailers or anything about it have you do you know the bad guy okay i don't even want to don't even want to get into because you're gonna love it um yeah third season is gonna be great so
00:11:30
Speaker
Yeah, great show on Sundays on Paramount Plus if anybody wants to watch it. so It's awesome.
John Candy: A Legacy in Comedy
00:11:36
Speaker
um Did you have a chance to watch the John Candy I Like Me documentary? Yep, watched it last Friday.
00:11:41
Speaker
Excellent. We're going to talk about it very, very good. It's on Amazon Prime. Produced by ryan Reynolds, directed by Colin Hanks, Tom Hanks' son, who was in Splash with John Candy, so he knew him when he was very, very young.
00:11:56
Speaker
um Came out of Second City. With Eugene Levy, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Martin Short, Dave Thomas, not the hamburger guy, the comedian.
00:12:07
Speaker
um Joe Flattery, who is a you suck, you jackass guy from Happy Gilmore. um Catherine O'Hara, of course, the mom Home Alone. and Gilda Radner. This is all set before all of these guys got their start on SNL. Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray, Martin Short. all these all they All of them got their start in Canada in Second City.
00:12:28
Speaker
SCTV. It develops into SCTV. um and Then they bring in Harold Ramis to be the head writer. so That's where Harold Ramis comes from. Of course, Ghostbusters, Egon. And later, Rick Moranis joins the cast of SCTV. You know, all about him, too.
00:12:42
Speaker
They're out of not only Canada, but they are right across the border in Chicago. That's why you kind of get the Second City vibe from both of those cities. um Spielberg's 1941. Have you ever seen that movie? I think it's the only one of the only Spielberg movies that haven't seen. a Long time ago. so Notoriously known for being a bad movie. I don't know. I haven't seen it, so I can't judge it.
00:13:03
Speaker
um But it was John Candy's Big Hollywood Break. um and And him and John Belushi. um Haven't seen it. so it's one It's on my list to watch. um But it's where he got his big break in Hollywood.
00:13:16
Speaker
um But his big break for what fans would know him to be as, the big goofy guy, was Stripes, written by a Harold Ramis, starring Harold Ramis, directed by, I believe, iron Ivan Reitman in one of his first movies.
00:13:29
Speaker
um And it's right out of SCTV Canada. They cast a lot of those guys in this movie. um stripes i just watched it last weekend uh still holds up great movie um starring um bill murray is the lead but it's great movie um But he got typecast to be the big guy in Hollywood.
00:13:49
Speaker
And it went right down to all the stereotypes, the fears. And this documentary brought a lot of the hurtful media slander um of calling him the big guy, calling him calling him out on his weight.
00:14:03
Speaker
um Where Hollywood was kind of telling him once he did start losing weight, he lost like 70 pounds at one point in the mid eighty s At one point, his agent said, don't lose any more weight. That's what gets you all these roles. So he kind of just like, well, you want me to be healthy, but I need to be healthy, but I can't be because I'm going to lose my work. So it's kind of like a pull and pull from one end to the other. Like, what am I going to do? But he kind of embraced being the big guy in Hollywood because he needed to work.
00:14:30
Speaker
um unfortunately. um His big breaks in of stardom is where it skyrocketed was Vacation. um He played the guy at the end of Vacation at Wally World um and Splash with Tom Hanks. Those two roles alone um showed his range of comedy and drama, um especially Splash.
00:14:50
Speaker
um and Carl Reiner Um, hired him to do summer rental. I love that movie. Probably one of my top movies from him. Talked a little bit about, uh, uh, Mel Brooks, bringing him in to do space balls, playing, playing barf, um, and bringing him in to play that role, which is like, I just probably the most iconic role he's played.
00:15:08
Speaker
Um, and nine roles for John Hughes and John Hughes movies. And of course he had his own starring role in uncle buck, but he was in plane trains and automobiles, home alone. He had guest roles in other movies and other other stuff from John Hughes adjacent.
00:15:24
Speaker
um um He owned a Canadian football league with Wayne Gretzky during the beginning of Wayne Gretzky's career. Maybe in the middle of his career. The Argonauts out of Canada.
00:15:36
Speaker
um And he was a huge part of that. Documentaries showed him on the side of the sidelines of the field every time they were playing a game. Cheering them on up until the point where they won a championship. And he was right there front and center.
00:15:46
Speaker
um with With the championship in hand. When the team won. so um One of his. I've always i said the same thing about Chris Farley. um One of the things we lost from John Candy. That we did not see enough of.
00:15:58
Speaker
um Was his dramatic roles. And we did see a lot of the um lot of the comedies he was in. He had dramatic turns. That would. Kind of bring heart to the character. Like Uncle Buck. There was some dramatic parts to that.
00:16:11
Speaker
um But he didn't have enough to actually show off. His range. Like Robin Williams had time to show that range. Chris Farley, I think if they gave him time, maybe 10 years before, after, if he had if he had lived longer, I think we would have seen more of a dramatic range from him.
00:16:28
Speaker
John Candy was starting to get into that. He was in JFK. and I remember I saw that last year during the um anniversary for the John F. Kennedy assassination, and he was in that. um mean It was a dramatic, comedic dramatic role, more on the drama side.
00:16:43
Speaker
um But yeah, just I wish he had more time to, I always say that about people who died young, but I wish he had more time to show off that drama, more dramatic roles. but unfortunately fame health self-medicating uh crippling anxiety towards the end um kind of took him down took him out of uh um kind of being confident in himself um he did cool runnings right around 93 a year before he died another great movie from him but he died and at the age of 43
00:17:16
Speaker
Very young. um He was filming a movie I believe he directed up in the Midwest somewhere. I can't remember the name of it. but um It was Wild West or it was... Yeah, something. Wasn't it the movie with Matthew Perry?
00:17:31
Speaker
or Matthew, the guy from Friends. Wasn't it that? no that was No, that's Chris Farley. That's um a that was the Lois and Clark movie that they did. No, this is... ah I don't want to say it's Canadian Bacon, but i I know that's the last one that that came up. There was another one that was with um Richard from Carbure Enthusiasm. What's his name?
00:17:50
Speaker
ah richard Richard Lewis? Yeah, Richard Lewis was in it with him, his last movie. Oh, okay. um Yeah, he passed away. um when i was younger i'm a big kid always have been um this was probably the first celebrity celebrity death that really hit me because i love john candy movies i love john candy and seeing him on tv appearances wherever i used to see him um having that death really happen in real life and realizing that that there are gonna be no more roles for him that was the first celebrity death i really went through
00:18:25
Speaker
um Chris Farley would be the next big one five years later, but four years later, but, um, left us way too soon, but left a huge body of work. And ah if you think about it, a very short amount of time from 1980 to 1993, just the amount of movies he'd made a lot of favors for people.
00:18:44
Speaker
Um, he was very, he was beloved by everybody, but a lot of people took advantage of that. And he did a lot of shitty movies because of it. Um, documentary kind of tackled that a little bit where he did favors for a lot of directors and writers came in and did roles that were probably beneath him but uh but yeah um he ended up calling him a turkey turkey rolls but um this is a great documentary um i talked a lot about it but there's still stuff there i didn't talk about it's very very much worth watching john candy i like me it's on amazon prime about an hour maybe a little under two hours but it's it's great
00:19:21
Speaker
Um, and, uh, I, I remember hearing about this one a couple of years ago when Ryan Reynolds announced it and I was super, super excited about it. And I'm just glad it, I'm glad it came out finally. And, uh, always say it like, where are these documentaries coming from? Like every time I say it, there's, there's going be topics that, that I don't know about that are just all of a sudden, just, just like, there's we're talk about next week. I cannot wait to talk about somebody that passed this week.
00:19:46
Speaker
Um, we're going to get into that during the news, but, um Yeah, documentaries have been really good the last couple of years. Maybe because I'm more tuned into them. I don't know from the podcast. But, yeah, very, very good.
The Smashing Machine: A Rocking Review
00:20:01
Speaker
And you went to the movies. I saw it in the notes. I did. put it I did put it in here. You did finally saw um The Smashing Machine with The Rock. And I've been waiting for your response for this movie because all I'm hearing about it is...
00:20:13
Speaker
that The Rock's amazing in it. And I just know The Rock from doing The Rock type of things. um I can't put two and two it together, so i just want to get your opinion on the movie and see what you thought. Yeah, he is very good.
00:20:27
Speaker
okay He is very good in the movie. I don't know if it's Oscar-worthy. The movie itself was it was weird, because, like... Mark Kerr was this giant of a man, like absolute, he was the fucking incredible Hulk. Like the guy was built like that. He looks like a fucking human Ninja turtle.
00:20:45
Speaker
um And so the whole movie, I mean, I thought it would be more about like during his substance abuse days, because he was hooked on painkillers, but that's all pretty much wrapped up in the first like act of the movie.
00:20:57
Speaker
And the rest of the movie deals with him dealing with his relationships as he's trying to become sober and get back into fighting and having the confidence to now fight without painkillers and steroids and whatever else.
00:21:14
Speaker
And it causes a couple of rifts in some of his relationships, most notably his, his wife, Donna. Um, there's a really, really intense scene between them. Um, that's fucking fantastic.
00:21:26
Speaker
Um, towards the beginning of the third act, I want to say, um But yeah, as far as like the UFC stuff goes, it brought back a lot memories too because the last act actually takes place during the first UFC live event I watched live.
00:21:42
Speaker
um It was not UFC, it was Pride. um It was their first telecast in America on May 7, 2000. It was the first one i ever watched live as opposed to getting the tapes or whatever at Sunco's video.
00:21:54
Speaker
So it brought back a lot of nostalgia for me kind of re-watching these fights. And um they had Boss Ruten play Boss Ruten And me and Lachlan, who's the guy that got me into UFC, we always, always talk about awesome Boss Routin is.
00:22:09
Speaker
And like when they were making this movie, were both like, Boss has to be in the movie, but there's no way that they could find an actor to do Boss Routin. So they didn't find an actor. Instead, they brought in 61-year-old Boss to play Boss Um, I thought that was kind of funny because boss rootin is one of a kind, man. I fucking love that guy.
00:22:29
Speaker
He was a commentator on pride. He was a former UFC. I think he performed in the UFC, but he was like known for training people to go into UFC and stuff like that. And then the other guy I always got Mark Kirk confused with, cause they were like best friends back in the day was Mark Coleman.
00:22:43
Speaker
and another huge individual. Um, he's being played by Ryan Bader, who I believe was brought into, uh, for the accuracy of the fights type stuff. And he ends up playing Mark Coleman in the movie.
00:22:55
Speaker
And for a guy who's a former UFC champion, and now he's just a color commentator and does like their pre and post fight stuff. Um, for it being his first role, pretty damn good is Mark Coleman.
00:23:08
Speaker
Um, who's almost the story is almost as much of a Mark Coleman story because he was basically Mark Kerr's mentor and they were best friends. They trained for every event together. That pride was, was leading to them fighting in the finals type thing.
00:23:24
Speaker
um So a lot of real life drama happened to that pride. Yeah. yeah Overall, it's probably a, four out of five. Um, there were some pretty, not really boring, but just, it was a very, it was a slow burn, but it was good.
00:23:39
Speaker
Um, You're not really going to be on the edge of your seat much in this one. um But it's a good story that apparently is flopping. And I saw that over the new Leonardo DiCaprio movie because that'll be in theaters next week.
00:23:51
Speaker
I don't know if the Smash Machine will be. I think it's made like $6 million dollars in two weeks. Like I looked for tickets for Thursday on Wednesday and they had no show time because they didn't know if would be showing it that Thursday um okay So I woke up and checked again and I saw that it was playing at like 5 o'clock so I went.
00:24:07
Speaker
um Yeah, overall, very good movie. The Rock is excellent in it. Everyone's really, really good. um What's her name that plays his wife, Dawn, is fantastic.
00:24:18
Speaker
Emily Blunt. Emily Blunt, yeah, she's really good too. um Yeah, definitely check it out when it's online next Tuesday. or whenever. But it'll be on HBO. It was also cool because it's an A24 movie. haven't seen a lot of a twenty four movies in theaters, but like a lot of a twenty four movies.
00:24:36
Speaker
So all the previews before the movie, didn't see a single superhero preview. It was fucking great. it was all like a twenty four like, kind of underground type titles. like susan He a proponent yeah propon and of yeah eight twenty four for a while. Yeah. So got to see some really cool previews for movies. That Timothee Chalamet movie by the other Safdie brother looks really good.
00:24:56
Speaker
um Saw that trailer for the first time. So, yeah. It was a good time. Yeah, i can't can't wait to see that. I also can't wait to see the Leo movie now you brought it up. I'm excited to see that.
00:25:07
Speaker
I also did purchase the UFC app after it so I could go back and watch Mark Curtis fights. That's cool. It was like three months. it was like One month was like $10, but three months was $20. So I just got three months of it because I can go back and watch any UFC event. And I do that every now and then once I'm off work.
00:25:24
Speaker
And it was funny to watch like how how fucking terrible the production value was of early UFC. Like, they would be announcing Mark Kerr, but the camera would be focused on his opponent.
00:25:35
Speaker
And, like, there was just random times where, like, the audio just leaked through. it was just It's just watching old UFC is really funny in hindsight. Like, after UFC 5, when they weren't making any money still, and they just...
00:25:49
Speaker
I mean, Joe Rogan came in like UFC 14 and worked for free. So like the first two years, he didn't get a single paycheck from the UFC, um which is why I make so much now because Dana White takes care of him because of that. It's just funny to go back and watch old UFC.
00:26:02
Speaker
Yeah, you've been a huge... I remember in high school, your were time maybe middle school, you were talking about UFC. It was right around probably 98, I became a huge fan of UFC. And before that, it was just because like Taz reminded of UFC fighter. Right, yeah. So yeah, like 97, 98 probably.
00:26:18
Speaker
First time I heard about it was WCW with a lot of UFC guys coming in. yup Tank Abbott was the big one. i remember that. Failing miserably. but um Halloween.
The Lost Boys: A Cult Classic
00:26:30
Speaker
We are on our third week of Halloween movies. um and We watched a classic and a new one. First one we watched was The Lost Boys, 1987. Both of us never saw this movie.
00:26:43
Speaker
um Starring role for Keither Sutherland. Of course, none more now, probably for 24. Yeah, that's right. Corey Haim, Corey Feldman, one of their movies they were in together.
00:26:57
Speaker
Alex Winter, one of his, if not his first movie set before and Ted's Excellent Adventure. That was right before Bill and Ted, right? Yeah. And the star of this movie, Jason Patrick.
00:27:09
Speaker
Yes. And I asked you, what did I see? Where have I seen Jason Patrick in? What have I seen him in before? I couldn't remember. um ah still can't remember. What was he What talking about? For me, it was Speed 2.
00:27:23
Speaker
Yeah, there's another... For you, was Sleepers. Sleepers. Which is another fantastic movie, yes. Which you got me watching a couple years ago. That's what it was. Yeah, great movie. But he's a star of this, and he gets turned into a vampire um by Keither Sutherland.
00:27:38
Speaker
Kind of makes him drink his blood. and thinks that He's making him think it's wine, it's actually blood, and... He becomes a Nightwalker, and he has to make a kill before he becomes a full vampire, or they have to kill the lead vampire, who's another actor we've seen in everything. He's one of those character actors, is the lead of this, the big, huge lead vampire. He's been in everything.
00:28:00
Speaker
and let me The first time I saw that guy, was ah he was the father in Richie Rich with Macaulay Culkin, maybe? yes. yeah Yeah, right? Okay. So, yeah. He's one of those guys.
00:28:12
Speaker
He's been in random ass movies. Random. I think he was in Single White Female, which I saw when I was younger because I was like seven and it had boobies in it. all Right, yeah. He was like one of those guys just like floats around that you have no idea what the fucking guy's name is. He looks like he in town somewhere.
00:28:27
Speaker
Right. He's a town somewhere. All I kept saying saying during the entire watching of this movie is if I had seen this movie when I was 10, like I should have, it would have been my yeah favorite movie of all time. It would have been amazing.
00:28:40
Speaker
And I also kept thinking, this is what got Schumacher, the Batman gig. Yeah, tell me that. Because he did dark and he did comedy or like campiness. um So can see why he was hired for Batman eventually.
00:28:50
Speaker
But yeah, this movie was awesome. Yeah, great. And I mentioned before, there's comic book connections to it. It reminded a lot of The Crow, just from the commercials before I even watched it. um Same kind of aesthetic, same everything.
00:29:03
Speaker
And then when he mentioned the Joel Schumacher thing, which I had no idea about, I didn't take a look at the credits. It's like, oh, yeah, that makes perfect sense. there's a lot of that type of look to it. But, yeah.
00:29:14
Speaker
Great movie. Another great movie. You recommended this to me a few months ago when you saw it. um But I held it off till now.
Together Movie: Body Horror Explored
00:29:22
Speaker
Together. right Starring Dave Franco and Alison Brie. The only thing I ever saw her in was Community.
00:29:28
Speaker
But Dave Franco, I've seen everything. Of course, Baby Franco, James Franco's brother. um Started, I remember seeing him first role was in Superbad, which is my favorite comedy of all time. That and four-year-old virgin. Kind of go back and forth. but um Together is a great Body horror movie.
00:29:45
Speaker
um As you can see in the poster, they're kind of magnetically connected to each other to the point where they want to be attached. physically literally um and if they touch each other they start absorbing into each other very weird concept do you get all that from the trailer um and you realize much more about it than what i'm telling you now i don't want to get into the big reveal but um yeah great movie probably a four out of five for me i yeah that's what it is for me too i really enjoyed this movie um yeah it kid i love dave
00:30:17
Speaker
um Pun intended, it kept changing as the movie continued. and i yeah I also love Dave Franco. I like his brother, too. I don't care if he got canceled. Right when his brother got canceled, yeah. He did. But yeah, i I really enjoyed this movie. It was nice, fresh concept. It reminded me of, like, last year we got The Substance.
00:30:34
Speaker
This year we got Together. Next year, hopefully, Clayface will do that for us. But yeah, nice body horror movie. I love body horror movies, especially... ones like this and the substance. Unique? Very unique? Very unique.
00:30:47
Speaker
Never seen anything like it before. i was trying to figure out if like this or the substance more, but they're almost so unique that you really can't put them together. like They're both body horror, but they're also like their own unique thing within the genre. so I love this movie.
00:31:01
Speaker
The ending's great, but you see it a mile away, but you knew that's exactly what was going to happen. and You kind of knew it when you saw what what was going on, and you knew, okay, so who are they going to cast to? yeah i don't want to get into it, but A great, great movie.
00:31:15
Speaker
um And next week, got some other great movies. And the week after is the one I'm not looking forward to. We'll get into all that at the end. But until then, let's get into the news.
Upcoming Horror Trailers
00:31:31
Speaker
And it's not a new segment without the trailer around it.
00:31:35
Speaker
um Some good trailers this week. The first one comes from Sam Raimi. A movie called Send Help, the horror movie, reminds me of Lost, meets, uh, uh, what's the Stephen King movie with, um, what's her name, um, in the, uh, well, just watched it not too long ago with, um, Stephen King movie with, uh, uh, fuck, Kathy Bates, um,
00:32:01
Speaker
Misery. Misery. Wow. Uh, yeah. Reminds me of misery meets, uh, lost meets, um, the, uh, castaway movie with Tom Hanks. All of that rolled into one, um, where this woman played by, um, uh, fuck. What's her name?
00:32:22
Speaker
Wow. I'm blanking on names today.
00:32:26
Speaker
but certain What's her name, the one that's in this movie? Why is blanking me? She's a big actress, too. know I know. She's a big name, and it's blank is blanking me right now.
00:32:39
Speaker
i Rachel McAdams, right? Wow. oh okay shit Oh, that's her? Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. um She plays this worker who works in this office, and her boss works in the office with her, and her boss is an asshole.
00:32:52
Speaker
And they get stranded on an island after a plane crashes, and she ends up taking over, like, being the lead role on the island, and ends up being like, you're going listen to me, you're not the boss of me here, I'm going to be running the show now.
00:33:07
Speaker
And all kinds of horror stuff, led by Sam Raimi, so you'd expect it, um kind of runs from that point forward. This comes out in January. Looked really good from the trailer. Wanted to bring it up.
00:33:19
Speaker
um Another trailer for It, Welcome to Derry, brand new poster as well. Comes out next weekend. We'll talk about in a couple weeks, in the Halloween episode. But... The first first episode drops on ah October 26th. We saw the first glimpses of Pennywise. ah There's some really cool Demented stuff going on there with him.
00:33:39
Speaker
But very excited. Andy Muschietti talked about it, saying his intention was to write the story with a little bit of an iceberg under the water all through Seasons 1, 2, and 3. There are three seasons planned.
00:33:52
Speaker
um Second season is going back even further, 27 years before, 1935. At the end of season one, we are hinting at the reasons why we're going to tell the story in two more seasons, and they're going backwards. And the next season before that is going to be set in the early nineteen hundreds Probably where Pennywise came from. And of course we know it's a big circus.
00:34:13
Speaker
Circus comes to town and he's part of that circus. An alien probably drops into town, I guess. Who knows? yeahp But yeah, they're going to tell the story backwards and they're going to fill in the gaps in between as the seasons go on. Plan for three seasons.
00:34:25
Speaker
Very excited for that. Very excited for the show. Going to be on HBO Max in a couple of weeks. If anybody wants to watch along with us, you can. um Another trailer for, I don't know if you've ever seen the original, but know this is a remake for Silent Night, Deadly Night. You ever see that? The murderous Santa Claus movie that came out in the 70s, I believe.
00:34:43
Speaker
You ever see that? Yeah, a long time ago. This is a remake. ah Comes out in December, on December 18th. Saw the trailer this week. Looks pretty good. um From the studio that brought you Terrifier 2 and 3, who brought Terrifier 1? I guess that was just something that was independent. That was an independent movie, yeah. Okay, yeah.
00:35:00
Speaker
So, yeah, coming out December 12th, about a murderous Santa Claus that comes to town and it starts murdering people. um And, yeah, he kind of has a dual role where he's a normal ah a law-abiding citizen. Then he puts on the Santa suit and just creates a massacre in his hands. So, yeah, it looks pretty good.
00:35:18
Speaker
And another movie, this movie seems like a simple process prospect prospect, for some reason had not happened until now, but Primate, a horror movie coming out January 19th about this murder a murderous primate who gets rabies, um the family primate that gets rabies and becomes murderous.
00:35:37
Speaker
And starts chasing and in in and harassing his family and and killing everybody around him. um The trail looks crazy. movie looks crazy, too. Yeah, I cannot wait to see this. I'm not even huge into horror, but something like this I do want to see.
00:35:54
Speaker
i just cannot believe it took this long to come up with this this idea. But it's coming out on January 9th. So, yeah. um Weekend box office last week. Consider it a failure, even though $33.5 million is not a lot to laugh at, at at a something that's not as high and in in box office, but Tron Aries, especially because the budget was so high, was number one with $33.5 million.
00:36:20
Speaker
Roofman, the Paramount movie starring Channing Tatum, which I'm very excited to see, was number two, $8 million. And One Battle After Another, the Leo movie, was the number three for the third week for $6.6 million.
00:36:34
Speaker
And she' Christopher Nolan talking about the Smashing Machine, saying he thought it was an incredible performance from The Rock. I don't think you'll see a better performance this year and or in most other years, so giving a high praise to his performance.
00:36:47
Speaker
That's pretty good. You can have the best you can have the worst box office in the world, we have one of the best directors yeah praising your role. That's pretty that's pretty high on on the praise level. So, yeah, that's cool. um Got some Hollywood deaths this week and music deaths this week. We're going to talk about some crazy ones.
Tributes to Departed Icons
00:37:04
Speaker
First one leading off with Diane Keaton. 79 years old. Best known for Annie Hall. Which I'm not a huge fan of Annie Hall. I know a lot of people love that movie. um But The Godfather.
00:37:15
Speaker
She played Kane, The Godfather. That's where I know her. And man Father of the Bride probably when I was younger. But later on in life, The Godfather. Playing the wife of Michael Corleone.
00:37:26
Speaker
um And she's been in a whole bunch of stuff. she was If you're talking about the Hollywood sweethearts or Hollywood darlings... um She was probably one of the first ones. um She kind of the had played that cute the cute girl that kind of acted like she didn't know what was going on, but she really did.
00:37:44
Speaker
um and lot of a lot of, like you say, Julia Roberts kind of had that role later on um and It just goes, every every new generation has their own, and Diane Keaton kind of started that and in the 70s into the 80s. She had a lot of roles.
00:37:59
Speaker
um Dramatic comedy all all around. Yeah, so rest in peace to her. Rest in peace to D'Angelo. ah The one person that got famous from being naked in a music video.
00:38:13
Speaker
He was a lot more than that. He was an R&B artist. Was huge. as like some great albums back in the early 90s. um But died this week as well from cancer.
00:38:24
Speaker
Rest in peace to him. um Rest in peace to Jackie Birch. You don't know who she is by the name. But she was a huge part of Hollywood in the 80s. She was a casting director for Hollywood.
00:38:37
Speaker
But cast all of the John Hughes movies. Every kid that you saw in those John Hughes movies. Sixteen Candles. um Breakfast Club. All those. She found them from unknowns. And brought them into the Hollywood spotlight.
00:38:50
Speaker
um Brought in Arnold. and and And the whole entire cast. The first Predator movie. um Brought in Cher for Mask. ah She was a part of the Dick Tracy movie, which is a huge, weird cast, but mostly known for bringing Bruce Willis, an actor in television, into the role of John McClane in Die Hard.
00:39:14
Speaker
um She brought him into the spotlight, and of course, after that, he became a huge star in the movies. But ah not a lot of people trusted Bruce Willis, but she had so much faith in him that she put her name on him and said, yeah, trust this guy, trust my process.
00:39:30
Speaker
um He'll be great in this movie, and he got the role. And John McClane, of course, we talk about him all the time at Christmas, is an icon of movies. That's Bruce Willis' role.
00:39:41
Speaker
um Five diehards later, four diehards later, right? So, yeah, rest in peace to her. Not a lot of people know her name, but I think we should talk about people like that. Unknowns in Hollywood had such a big role behind it. Speaking of that...
00:39:54
Speaker
Not a lot of people know this name, but you've seen every piece of artwork in the a if you grew up in the 80s. Drew Struzan passed away at 78. He also had cancer. He had Alzheimer's. believe me i thought he had cancer too. Alzheimer's, as Jesus says.
00:40:09
Speaker
um But he designed all the original movie posters for all the movies in the 80s and up until the 2000s. notably... up until the two thousand s most notably Probably what he's going to be known for as his legacy is the Back to the Future posters, which you think of those movies, you think of Marty McFly coming out of the... um you think um i don't even think the poster's here, is it?
00:40:33
Speaker
I was going to say, it's the one poster that's not here. I would have put it here. if i know what is on the book I have the art of his book there. is on the front cover there. but um He did all the Star Wars posters as well, as you can see. He did Shawshank.
00:40:44
Speaker
He worked a lot with Spielberg, so he did Hook, which is probably my favorite one out of all of his. um he did He did a lot for George Lucas. He did Indiana Jones' Last Crusade. He did The Goonies, um Coming to America.
00:40:58
Speaker
um he did album covers, too. He did blood ah sabbath Bloody Sabbath for Black Sabbath back in the 70s. um He did so much. There's a documentary about him on YouTube we're going to talk about next week. I'm going to watch it this weekend.
00:41:10
Speaker
um All about his history in Hollywood and and doing album covers, starting off there, going into movies, and his whole entire career being an unknown in Hollywood, but having such an iconic vision.
00:41:22
Speaker
that everybody knows him from and just don't know the name. And that's another reason why we like to bring up people like this to talk about the unknowns and and how much of an impact they had in our lives. we didn't even know it until they passed, unfortunately.
00:41:38
Speaker
Um, that's why we try to give John Williams such a credit on this show because, um, not a lot of people realize where that music comes from. It's just such a creative mind. Um, his art, very, very art, realistic art level, which I've become this last year, a huge fan of realizing I'm a huge fan of it with Alex Ross.
00:42:00
Speaker
Alex Ross takes a huge inspiration from Drew Struzan, um, because of his realistic, uh, poster art taken. i mean, these are, Things he's creating out of out of thin air. These aren't stuff that's being posed. this is He's taking the characters from the movies and just creating them in these poses, which is a remarkable thing to do for an artist that's not doing like a tracing the character. These are creating characters from from what he sees in a movie or previews from a movie and creating a huge marketing poster that's going to be in a movie theater and promote the movies going forward. but
00:42:33
Speaker
Huge loss for Hollywood. I don't think he's done posters in the last... decade or so I can't remember. There was one big one he did a decade ago. I can't remember what it was. um But yeah, he did so much. So much. And that just... what what What I have a screen on here on YouTube is just the tip of the iceberg what he did.
00:42:49
Speaker
I'm definitely to be getting that Art of Drew Struzan book. it's onion It's on Amazon currently. Backorder because everybody jumped on it as well after he passed. But rest in peace to him.
00:43:00
Speaker
And yesterday... I forgot, i remember hearing that he fell a couple weeks ago. um He fell so bad that he had a brain aneurysm. Ace Frehley from Kiss died. I'm not sure if you're a big, huge Kiss fan. I wasn't. yeah yeah not A lot of people are kind of on the edge of Kiss.
00:43:20
Speaker
I like that movie that came out in the early 2000s. Detroit rock city yeah yeah Rock City. Great movie. yeah um Ace Frehley passed away. Huge guitarist, huge in the 70s, 80s with Kiss, um was mostly mostly their iconic sound of guitar, the solos and stuff, was Ace Frehley.
00:43:38
Speaker
um And he was kicked out of the band in the 80s. Got in a lot of fights with Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons. He came back in 1996 for a reunion tour, but ever since then, they've had such a falling out, bad-mouthing, talking back and forth to each other.
00:43:54
Speaker
um When they went to the Hall of Fame for KISS in like five years ago, they were invited, but they told them that Ace, you cannot play with us when we perform at the Hall of Fame.
00:44:05
Speaker
um They did not want being part of the band. He's like, we're a new band. We have members took, they took over for you. We want them to be a part of it, even though they weren't the original members. Kind of crazy if they didn't invite Ace to be a part of that.
00:44:17
Speaker
But it happened and he passed away. And a lot of, lot of people in rock are saying that he's the one that, that kind of influence guitar, for the, the glam rock part of good of rock and roll.
00:44:31
Speaker
Um, people dressing up looking crazy. Of course, he was a space cat, space man, space ace, whatever, uh, for, for, uh, for kiss, uh, with the stars on his face. But, um, yeah, rest in peace to Ace freely came out of nowhere yesterday that he died. Um, and everybody's saying he's such a great guy. and Gene Simmons and him had a huge falling out talking back and forth about each other, but they all,
00:44:52
Speaker
ah Ace Frehley and Paul Stanley both put out ah grievance notices on Instagram and Twitter. yeah Rest in peace to him. but yeah Lots of deaths in Hollywood and music this week. want to talk about them.
00:45:05
Speaker
um Warner Brothers. We talked about it a couple weeks ago. Warner Brothers has rejected the offer of Paramount's first bid to buy the company. um Supposedly it was low. That's all I heard. it was too low per share or something. They offered $20 per share.
00:45:20
Speaker
Yes, that was the number I heard too. So yeah. um Nothing more than that. Probably put put another offer in. So we'll hear more about that in the coming weeks. We'll get into that later on. um Apple TV Plus has changed their name to... Dun, dun, dun.
00:45:37
Speaker
Apple TV. I've been calling it... Nobody ever said... If somebody would be like, oh, we're going to watch it, it's on Apple. Right, I've been calling it Apple TV the whole entire time. Yeah. um I think the the reason why they did that is is because they have the Apple TV product. They wanted to separate it out, but we all call it Apple TV. It's what everybody knows it as, so it just makes sense. Speaking of Apple, announced today they signed a five-year deal.
00:46:03
Speaker
To bring F1 races to exclusivity to Apple TV starting in 2026. For a crazy number. I mean, F1 is huge overseas, so it's understandably.
00:46:15
Speaker
For $750 million for the five years, which is crazy. Almost a billion dollars for F1. Not huge over here. Huge in France. here's it Huge in Europe, though. Huge huge overseas. That's where a lot of the races take place, but...
00:46:29
Speaker
yeah Apple do did a deal with f one It's been rumored for a while. but Also, speaking of overseas, um MTV Music Overseas is, for some reason, they had MTV Music videos still playing on television over there, um but they're taking them off the air. Nothing said about um the United States. I know some of the cable companies still have like MTV, 80s music, club. eight They still have some MTV stuff that you can watch over here. But all overseas stuff, ah the global Paramount Global is getting rid of MTV music, 80s, 90s club MTV, MTV live.
00:47:04
Speaker
um You watch the MTV now, it's all live. It's all like reality stuff. And it's that Rob Dyrdek's show that I never watched an episode of. I can't remember. I don't even know what the name of it is.
00:47:18
Speaker
There hasn't been a music video on that channel in probably 20 years. So yeah. um Kind of the beginning of the nail in the coffin for MTV. Even though it hasn't happened in America yet, it's kind of on the low priority list of cable networks, you you could probably say.
00:47:34
Speaker
um Taylor Swift's the Life of a Showgirl album that just came out a week ago, couple weeks ago, has the number one record of all time in America with 4 million units sold.
00:47:47
Speaker
That is a huge, remarkable um line. I don't think a anybody will ever cross that line, except it could be her. But that broke so many records in the United States.
00:47:59
Speaker
And she announced this documentary, docuseries, coming out on Disney+, plus ah coming out on December 12th, about her final show for the Eras Tour. And it's going to docuseries mixed with the final show,
00:48:12
Speaker
at the end of it i think the last two episodes is the final show of the tour um and yeah it's uh she's just huge she's huge she proved herself to be a huge in the box office and of course music she's proved that over time but um she's huge she's definitely uh one of the biggest artists ever to uh be ah being any and in any part of american lexicon so Yeah, crazy.
00:48:37
Speaker
um Announced today, Weapons. Wanted to bring this up because anybody who has not seen it um should he go on HBO Max on October 24th, which is next week, and go watch it. think it's next Friday.
00:48:50
Speaker
um Weapons is going to be on ah HBO. Weapons is a great movie with a great twist to it. um And yeah, it's going to HBO if you have that. So watch it. Uh, got some new, oh wait, no, don't have that yet. AMC and Netflix, uh, decided to work together.
00:49:06
Speaker
ah theater chain will show K-pop demon hunters on 400 screens during Halloween and discussing ongoing, uh, ideas for theatrical, theatrical opportunities for next what Netflix shows going to AMC.
00:49:17
Speaker
ah We have some AMCs about 45 minutes away from us. We have Regals closer. um So this makes sense. Countrywide, it makes sense. We always talk about Netflix, how they're more focused on the streaming rather than the numbers for streaming rather than the theater, especially something like Knives Out, which we bring up all the time.
00:49:38
Speaker
Frankenstein is going to theaters. But Stranger Things... They're dead set against putting the finale. I remember seeing the Duffer Brothers this week talking about it. They wanted the finale to Stranger Things being in the theater, and Netflix was like, no.
00:49:50
Speaker
We don't want that. ah You're television show, number one, and number two, you bring us so many people watching. We want the viewers. We want the subscribers. i don't know. That'd be a weird thing to do, though like... Because would you do it for like one showing or would you put it in the theaters for like two weeks? But then like you'd have already maybe you've seen it on Netflix. This is a weird idea to do like that. Like it's not like with a movie. i' send a fandom With a movie, you can put a movie in theaters over two weeks and then be and then release it on Netflix. But like with the but the end of a TV show, like it's going to be on Netflix at the same time. So that's a little different. But i like I like what they do with Knives Out where they put it in theater for 10 days.
00:50:29
Speaker
Yeah, that's the perfect sense. yeah Yeah. Which is basically the average release for a movie nowadays but outside of Netflix. So, yeah. We've got some brand new posters. Speaking of Stranger Things, brand new posters for Stranger Things, Empire Magazine, Time Magazine.
00:50:44
Speaker
um So the promotion has started ah for the final season. I'm very excited for that. um Going to jail this week, Eddie Winslow from Family Matters.
00:50:57
Speaker
um Darius McCary got arrested going over the border. I don't remember where he was. He was going into the U.S.-Mexico border. um And they arrested him at the border for having for having a warrant for his arrest for not paying child support.
00:51:12
Speaker
And the big thing of him was he went on to um into court the next couple of days after, and he represented himself, and there's some viral clips of him going on going around, not knowing what the hell he's talking about representing himself in court.
00:51:26
Speaker
Oh, Eddie Winslow, how the mighty have fallen. um Yeah, it's it's ah it's crazy how stories like this come about of people in Hollywood who we knew growing up who were so young back in the day and seeing him now in his 50s probably, ah representing him in court for not paying child support.
00:51:45
Speaker
And didn't know when he tried to represent himself. He's like, I read a lot of law books. I know what I'm talking about. The judge is like, I don't think you really know what you're talking about. probably should shut the hell up.
00:51:57
Speaker
But yeah. yeah M. Night Shyamalan announced this week that he's going to be doing a ah series based on the Magic 8-Ball. He's going to be directing it. um Co-creator of Glee and horror American Horror Story going to be in charge of it.
00:52:12
Speaker
um So, yeah, it's a TV pilot he's going directing based on the toy, the Magic 8-Ball. Okay. A couple weeks from now, November 14th, is Running Man. We got a brand new poster for that.
00:52:25
Speaker
We'll talk about it at the end, but I have a big Halloween thing I want to talk about at the end. um Running Man, Glenn Powell, looks great. Directed by Edgar Wright. always forget that, but I love Edgar Wright. He's good director. Very excited to see this.
00:52:40
Speaker
um And Jim Caviezel. Not going to be returning as Jesus in The Passion of the Christ, the Mel Gibson Resurrection of Christ a sequel. So they recast the role.
00:52:51
Speaker
ah No idea why ah um Jim Caviezel is not returning. But yeah, I don't know. um Jacko O'Tenton, I don't know what his name is, how to say it. Jim Caviezel was basically, i don't know if he was blackballed, but he was basically outed by Hollywood tell that movie until that movie about the sex trafficking came on.
00:53:11
Speaker
Yeah, the last series two years ago. yeah ah think it was two years ago, I think. I still haven't seen it, but um and you like I fucking love Jim Caviezel. don't know why he stopped working at Hollywood. I don't know if you know more about that.
00:53:23
Speaker
One of your favorite... He's been on TV recently, but one of your favorite movies that you brought me into The Count Monte Cristo. He's amazing in that movie. I watched it last week or I watched it like in September, yeah.
00:53:35
Speaker
And every time we talk about Jim Caviezel, I'm always going to bring it up. My favorite movie from him is Frequency. I love that movie. That's a good movie, too, yeah. Frequency is a great movie, and not a lot of people talk about it. It's kind of like right in the middle of the millennium, where the millennium started, so movies were kind of crazy right then.
00:53:52
Speaker
He was up for a Batman, too, when Snyder was casting Batman. It was like him, Josh Brolin, and Ben Affleck were the three guys that were looked at the most. Yeah, but you're right. mel I think Mel Gibson has such a bad taint to his career.
00:54:06
Speaker
Anybody associate associated with him in his movies kind of... yeah well you know, racist stuff that he said. um Everything associated with him kind of either took a step back from him, separated them from him, except for Danny Glover. Danny Glover's right in the middle of it.
00:54:22
Speaker
I've seen them hugging and kissing and yeah pretty much talking about Lethal Weapon 5 being a huge priority to both of them. But yeah, Jim Caviezel needs to be in more roles. You're absolutely right. a Great actor. so a lot of great movies in his catalog that not a lot of people talk about. the yeah i never I never watched his TV show was in, but I heard it was really good.
00:54:42
Speaker
Yeah, yeah that that's what he's doing now. A lot of people are doing TV. We talk about it all the time. We talk about this week with ah Sylvester Stallone. um Jim Carrey. I cannot believe that after everything that happened in the 2000s with remakes and reboots of cartoons, that the Jetsons...
00:54:58
Speaker
Never happened, but Jim Carrey is in talks to join the Jetsons movie from Warner Brothers. ah Colin Trevorrow from Jurassic World going in to direct it. Talks to direct it. Love Jim Carrey. At the end of his career, mid-60s. I think...
00:55:13
Speaker
i think I think what happened with him is he did Sonic and he, hit because he was, he was set to retire. I think he did Sonic. Had so much fun playing in that type of landscape that he decided start thinking about doing a Jetsons movie here you know, just having and raising kind of, yeah, embrace and just nothing violent about them. Like nothing like that. Like, because he got really upset. Um,
00:55:35
Speaker
where he did the second kick-ass afterwards and how violent the character was and there were school shootings and stuff. He spoke out about that. But I think he when he did the Sonic movies, just he's doing films that he just has a lot of fun doing and that everyone can pretty much see.
00:55:48
Speaker
Yeah. um Shrek 5. Coming out next year, Zendaya joining the cast as the daughter of Shrek and Fiona. um Big rumor... I saw this week. I'm going to bring it up in case it comes true.
00:56:01
Speaker
That Shrek 5... I don't know. You know the basic story of what Shrek 5 is? It's basically all the fairy tales like you know from Mother Goose and right the Brothers Grimm come to life. And Shrek's universe is the fairy tale universe.
00:56:15
Speaker
And... and The fifth movie, there's rumors that Farquaad, who was played by John Lithgow, um will be the villain again, but he's it's going to be set um in real world. in other words, Shrek, Fiona, and Zendaya are gonna going to going into the real world. They're gonna be leaving the fantasy world, going into the real world, where Farquaad, Farquaad,
00:56:37
Speaker
is going to be running a Shrek-themed amusement park like Universal Studios in the real world, and Shrek's going to see himself on posters and on amusement park rides and merchandise. If that happens, that'd be crazy. if they They haven't announced John Lithgow coming back, but that would be a huge, huge fine and get, ah because he's doing Harry Potter currently. Of course, we love John Lithgow from Dexter, but I love him way back from Third third Rock from the Sun, but um I would love to see him come back for the fifth Shrek movie. That'd be awesome.
00:57:05
Speaker
And this type of role would be amazing too. um Ubisoft. There was supposed Assassin's Creed game set after the Civil War. I heard this this week. wanted to bring it up. It was going feature a black assassin who was formerly a slave, would fight the emerging Ku Klux Klan, and the leadership behind the game canceled it because of the political climate and everything racist that was going on in the game. I think that would have been amazing.
00:57:32
Speaker
ah sad that we didn't get that. I wonder if we'll ever get that, but, a black assassin was a slave fighting the Klu Klux Klan would have been amazing. Um, something where, something we lost out on, um, Mortal Kombat three reportedly in development.
00:57:46
Speaker
Um, and, uh, they, yeah, we'll talk about more and in May when that comes out. But, uh, yeah, um, not a lot of swag, but we do have a couple of pop figures.
00:57:57
Speaker
Swag! Stuff we all get. Come on, son. You know that's right. course, it's October Halloween. You can't go without talking about some horror pop figures. We got a great Pennywise figure, which I actually do want to get.
00:58:10
Speaker
not i don't think there is but has been an old Tim Curry Pennywise figure ever. Looks really cool. a Regan from The Exorcist. We'll talk more about that in a couple weeks. Chucky from the Chucky movies.
00:58:24
Speaker
And Child's Play. And trick or Trick and Treat. I never saw that movie. I don't know what that is. So yeah. um New York Comic Con happened last weekend. And Marvel announced some new stuff.
00:58:36
Speaker
ah They announced that Season 2 of X-Men 97 is coming to Disney Plus in the summer of next year. um Also announced that Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Season 2 coming out sometime in the fall of next year.
00:58:48

00:59:01
Speaker
Within the series. Within the series. Yes. um We got the first look of that on the right there. and We got the first poster for the series there while I'm so behind. um It's going to follow, of course, Simon Williams, who is Wonder Woman, Wonder Man in the comics, um auditioning for the roles of the reboot of the classic Wonder Man series. You're bringing it into the movie um of this. So it's basically going to talk tackle here. um Hollywood and reboots, remakes, and how the superhero fatigue, as you can see in the poster, is being talked about as well. So, kind of a tongue-in-cheek Hollywood love story of a comic books.
00:59:35
Speaker
So, I'll wait and see on that. We've got a brand new picture of Daredevil from Daredevil Born Again Season 2. ah Charlie Cox looks great. He's got the DD on the chest for the first time.

Tommy is going joining the cast of this.
01:00:27
Speaker
um Don't know the kid's name, but he's going to part of it. and They're probably going to have a reunion Wiccan and Speed later on in the Young Adventures, wherever that happens, and whether it be a Adventures Doomsday or adventures Secret Wars, wherever. But...
