I'm not gonna lie. I finally I used chat GPT to help me with something. And wow, why don't you kill a bunch of writers? Yeah, I did. I did. Scarlett Johansson, her voice for it. Yeah, no, I just said because I was trying to figure out how to do something in Excel and I just described what I wanted it to do. And I was like, oh, here. And you know what? I went, I went, this thing should write movies. This thing could do anything. It helped me with my Excel question.

Well, that's the thing. My my mom, she is hardcore gaming. She's playing a lot of street fighters on that TV. How's she going to put how she's going to lose a lot? She's losing. How's she going to play ghosts of Tsushima on PC at max settings? Damn, I didn't even think of that. Dude, I'm the worst son.
00:03:38
Speaker
Devin, did you see the videos? Like, it looks amazing on PC. I did not know. People are going nuts. And it's like, this game came out fucking four years ago. When did what year did that come out? Twenty twenty. Twenty twenty pandemic year. Right. That sounds right. Yeah, hold on. Ghosts of Tsushima. Twenty twenty. July 17th. Yeah.
00:04:07
Speaker
You know what? We were
TV Shows and Pop Culture Obsessions
00:04:10
Speaker
eating good that year. Well, I mean, besides the actual pandemic and stuff. No complaints about 2020. Game-wise, we had heck in The Last of Us Part 2. That's stimulus checks. Yeah, yeah. Donnie Trumps was sending me dollars for me to buy PlayStation games. Stimmies. Stimmies and Handies. Ew.
00:04:38
Speaker
That's what I gave myself. I'm see I'm trying to step up for Galani. I'm I'm really trying to. Yeah. Yeah, he's not here. Chris is. Chris is working now. He's working. He's he said, guys, I'm just going to be a little too sleepy. He said, I'm going to work on it. Don't I can't talk about Magneto all night. I do. Do you know? Have you seen my CV?

AI and YouTube: Changing Viewing Habits
00:05:10
Speaker
Yeah. Okay. Call me when you're doing like a dog, the bounty hunter retrospective, but this is below my pay grade. Yeah. I'll go dog, the bounty hunter. I'll watch all 10 seasons of dog, the bounty hunter. In this season, they go and dogs the one being hunted. That was the best one.
00:05:30
Speaker
See, that's like something Devin would do, where he would punish himself by watching every episode of a Dog the Bounty Hunter anime. So, you know, hold on, now I'm intrigued. So, you know what's hilarious, actually? So, my one coworker, a fairly new guy, nice guy, right? He's like 23.
00:05:52
Speaker
Uh, he lives in a frat, but he lives, but I'm saying he like lives in a frat house, uh, with his buddies. They just moved, right? So they just moved out of the old frat house, but he's still living with his buddies. Okay. Uh, one of the things that they do and he's like, yeah, yeah. He's like, we just kinda hang out. He's like, we'll get the worker.
00:06:13
Speaker
be hanging out, they just sit down and they just watch a TV show. I want each of you to give me one guess as to what TV show you think that these two college bros, I'm saying college bros, right? But like, you know, these two, these two early 20s. Yeah. So what show do you think they would just kind of obsessively watch? Like they've seen it before. They're just watching it for the. No, they're
X-Men Movie Deep Dive
00:06:40
Speaker
watching it for the first time, but like,
00:06:41
Speaker
Like they sit down and they're like, all right, let's watch like bang out two or three of these episodes when it comes to television watching. I'm going to say. Yeah, I know you're not going to get it, but hold on, though. Hold on. All right. I'm going to throw I'm going to throw like a Hail Mary because I know it's going to be something weird. It's going to be succession. It's succession. Succession. OK. I'm going to say Dr. Quinn, medicine woman.
00:07:09
Speaker
so steve you're slightly closer uh they both watch uh they just watched a few episodes of lucifer you love that show yeah that's what i told him i said dude this is gonna sound insane but i was like for about seven episodes i was obsessed and i said and i said i said all this you read the comic right no i never heard actually what right i heard it's awesome too i have it
00:07:35
Speaker
Yeah, I have a bunch of them. But but I told him I said I had watched that show and I was obsessed with it. And I said, as soon as the second I take like a two week break from the show, I'm never going to watch it again. And that's exactly what happened. But John, didn't you get slapped in the mouth for for having to lose for a comic? Yeah, my mom told me the story. Whoa, what? Well, yeah, I mean, she's like.
00:08:04
Speaker
You know super religious. I didn't know you got his mouth where I get slapped but I was I got question I'm like You know what Satan's actually pretty cool if you got if you looked into it mom like Like let's fast forward a couple of years, right? Oh, he comes home from school. You're like, oh how's please they was fine And then you see like a January 6th comic book
00:08:36
Speaker
It's different dad it's different I Don't know what the I don't know what the context of the story. Yeah, that's comics really good. You know, it's just it's it's one of few Eisner's, you know, oh But it's just you know, it's just whoa. Whoa. What's this? I don't this is not a January 6th house. I don't want that my house I think the comics is like
00:09:00
Speaker
Hmm. I'm trying to think of any comics I read where I'm like, Hmm, maybe the writer of this was a little bit, uh, looking back a lot, a lot, a lot of them. Are there any writers that like, you think that we read regularly by like looking back? Like, well, I mean, maybe Garth Ennis was a little bit more, uh, Sweden.
00:09:19
Speaker
Yeah, there's there's Warren Ellis. Who's the guy that I like that wrote local that got canceled? Oh, Brian, Brian would as a relative. No, no. Yeah, Brian. What is it? Brian? What? He wrote DMS to you, right? I'm pretty sure. Yeah. Oh, fuck. Local comic book. Wow. It just tells me what local comic book stores there are near me. Smart. Brian would. Yeah.
00:09:48
Speaker
I forgot. I forgot the they made a TMZ TV show that wasn't about. And it and it weirdly only lasted like a half a season. I think it was one of those like here's three episodes. Yeah, that's interesting. Yeah, that's interesting. I remember I watched why why
Exploring the X-Men Universe
00:10:10
Speaker
the last man.
00:10:11
Speaker
Yes, watch it. Yeah, it wasn't bad, right? It wasn't bad, but then it just didn't. It just died. Yeah, it like died like like seven. Like I have five or six episodes in. Yeah. I don't know. I think that show would that show would have crushed if it came out like, you know, like then it did. Honestly, yeah. If it was Shia LaBeouf and if it was a movie. Yeah. I know. Give and take, give and take. But like, I don't like there's that.
00:10:41
Speaker
Cause there's that very first issue and I love it, or not the first issue, but like that first trade where like, you know, his mom's in politics and they get to the White House and like all of a sudden they just start talking about like redoing everything. And he, and York's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, guys, guys, maybe we had these things for a reason, you know? Cause it was just like all these women just want to burn down the establishment essentially. And he was like, can we pump the brakes a little bit?
00:11:08
Speaker
And, uh, like, I think like reading it right in context, it's like, I don't know. It's like a standout moment for me, uh, and reading that. Um, and now it's like, that's not going to go over well at all today. Like it just wouldn't, it just is what it is. It's just where we are at, uh, in a society. And, uh, we all live in a society and I'm going to put on my Joker.
00:11:32
Speaker
Joker two coming soon. Joker in a in a gutter. Joker tries to explain January six on podcast. Well, you see, the thing is. I was I have a rich dad. You know, if they just went to the capital just to sightsee it all, we all would have been fine. We'd all be in a better, you know, maybe we would have made it such a big deal about it.
00:12:02
Speaker
But then you brought along your zip tags, zip lines, whatever. I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about right now. It's interesting. Comic books are back, baby. They're writing them every day by your local comic book store. You could look it up on Google, as Devin just learned. Just Google it. Yeah, because don't look up local comic book unless you're looking for a store. I'm going to look at a local comic book.
00:12:29
Speaker
Um, you know who would, who would kill me if they were like, who would kill you? No, I'll just look, I'll just look up people stronger than you right now. It's easy. Good luck. All right. Good luck. Find one. Okay. Here we go. Oh, are you going to type in the big show? Well, he's not. He's older. He's an older man now. I'm stronger than him now. I don't know. I think big show is stronger than you. Who else? Uh, Hawk.
00:12:59
Speaker
from that man. That's a dead man. I thought it was the other one. You're talking about Shadow Hawk? No, no, I mean, animal. I thought animal. Oh, they both died. There's no more legion doom. I see. You're talking about hiding, right? Guess what? What? Probably stronger than then now.
00:13:19
Speaker
You know, that's fair. Okay. Hold on. Let's look at a bunch of dead people. Yeah. Hold on. Nevermind. Hold on. Hold on. Let me look up a list of dead people on the internet. Don't let me not have the entry of, let me look at a bunch of dead people who Devin could take in a fight. I could take on every dead person ever. Do you? What do you mean? Strong dead people. Is that, is that a search? I should type it into a search.
00:13:47
Speaker
Powerful dead people. What is the most difficult death to recover from? Hold on, I'm reading this one. Oh yeah, okay. Nevermind. That's not fun. That's not a fun topic to bring this podcast into. I thought it was going to be something fun where it'll be like, well, you know what? It's real hard. Once you die, you don't come back. I thought it was going to be real Beetlejuice right there, but no, it was
X-Men Animated Series Speculations
00:14:10
Speaker
actually just a real grim thing. Also, Google now has an AI that types up stuff for you when you look.
00:14:15
Speaker
Yeah, I don't like it. I don't like it either. I haven't. I don't like I don't like these A.I. videos of apes and gorillas smoking and drinking. Why not? It's it's too real to the point where I'm like, did they just give this gorilla like a joint and he's just like this gorilla is literally cracking beers open. And it looks really good. It keeps trying to make me watch a video of the rock eating rocks on YouTube.
00:14:43
Speaker
You got to fix that algorithm, my guy. Dude, I tried. Dude, right now. OK, so my my YouTube algorithm is real messed up. It just starts playing videos of people explaining movies because I watched one video of someone like watching a movie essay. Oh, I know. Like the shorts. And it's like it's literally just a guy explaining an entire movie.
00:15:07
Speaker
but it's like playing clips from the movie in the background. Cause I watched, I watched, I watched a video. Is it like an AI voice doing it? Yeah. It's a video of like a movie where it's like the sunlight will kill you if it, if it shines on you. So this plane has to outrace the sun. I was like, well, that sounds interesting. So I watched like the beginning of it and I was like, well, I probably want to watch the rest of this movie. But now every time I'm like watching something, like I'll be like, Oh, that was a funny Mr. Beast video. And then it's like,
00:15:38
Speaker
find out this woman who found out she lived in a fake town. And I'm like, what? And it's just a movie. It's just someone explaining a movie to me. Yeah. And I sat through one of those and I was like, never again.
00:15:54
Speaker
but like they play when I'm like sleeping. So like my head doesn't know if I've seen movies or if I've seen someone explaining. So wait, the algorithm thinks you're like super into it because you're sleep. Yeah. Yeah. No. So he's adding onto it. It's like, dude, he's not stopping. He's into this. He's really into me explaining this, this Indian movie about a plane that disappeared in the eighties that just showed up. And we're going to go into full detail.
00:16:21
Speaker
So like in my head, in my head, I'm like, wow, I've seen a lot of movies recently. And I'm like, no, I didn't. I fell asleep while an A.I. was talking movie plots at me. My A.I. I mean, kind of, right? My algorithm.
00:16:39
Speaker
Uh, it thinks, uh, some of it's on point, right? It's like, I've been watching the, um, the Akuma retrospective. I've been watching the next million dudes. Uh, there's an all action YouTube channel, uh, that's showing me the Dom Toretto versus agent Hobbs fast five fight. Whoa. Uh, not, not, not into that. Right. I'm pretty into that.
00:17:01
Speaker
Um, but actually, I actually fell down an X-Men like an, you know, X-Men like one, two, three into, you know, all the X-Men movies. Yeah. So I've been getting a lot of action clips from X-Men The Last Stand. It's pretty cool.
00:17:22
Speaker
How is that like pain watch that recently? Like, how does it compare? No, I haven't. Like I've been watching clips and like, dude, three is so bad. It's still so bad. Like it, it made me mad at Tim all over again. Honestly. Oh man. He loves that movie. Like dude, actually, you know, I watched the scene with a Kitty pride. Um,
00:17:47
Speaker
Oh, that racist? That racist? Yeah. Yeah, played by a trans actor. This is something that when you look it up, it is like mind blowing. Well, how can you pride is like absolutely just like racist, racist. She's just she's legit just using the fact that she's a mutant to be racist to other races. Yeah.
00:18:11
Speaker
Yeah. That's what it looks like. So, uh, yes, the, the then, uh, Ellen page, no Elliott page, but that whole scene is so bad. Like the whole, like I'm the juggernaut bitch. And then cause you guys probably don't remember. So let me fill you in. Uh, the movie is based around that one mutant that cause they found out the cure. So there's this one mutant that like annuls your powers. Like when you're in the same room with him,
00:18:42
Speaker
maybe, but this guy, this kid has very expressive eyebrows and I immediately looked him up and I was like, have I seen this man anywhere? Because at this point he's like mid twenties. Uh, and he, he retired pretty, pretty young, but um,
00:18:59
Speaker
No, I think Juggernaut ran into a wall and knocked himself out. And I was like, But Juggernaut's not a mutant. And then I started getting mad about it. And then I was like, I need to chill. Like I need to calm down. Juggernaut's not a mutant. You are correct. And that's how they stop them. And then Wolverine, dude, God, this is just taking me back. But like the thing I hate it so much about X-Men The Last Stand is like,
00:19:29
Speaker
They want to have mutants, but like they don't want to give them characters. So they just became like guy with a ski hat on. I remember baseball bat. Yeah, baseball bat mutant like and I was watching it and I was like, my opinion has not changed one fucking inch based on like this is still just as stupid.
00:19:49
Speaker
you know, as it was when I first saw and like, this is doofy little dude. Cause like, it's the point where they all go, we're making a line and no one's going to get by this line because we got to protect the whatever. Right. And like this guy comes out Wolverine cuts his arm off and then he cuts his other arm off, but they just grow back. And then it cuts to this guy who just looks like a random, like he looks like a dude that fucking
00:20:12
Speaker
just like works at a donut shop or he's like, he's just like, come on. That's how he talks. And Wolverine just kicks him in the dick and kills the guy. And I'm just like, this is so bad. This is like so angrily, like, I'm so mad about this. It was how stupid this fucking movie is. And yeah, I don't think, um,
00:20:33
Speaker
I'm never going to get over it. That movie is really terrible and it always makes me upset. You know, we got to we got to do we got to get Galani to watch all the X-Men films. We love them. Because it's like, all right, I think he'll I think he'll. Appreciate one for what it was. Yeah, I think two will be his favorite still. Yeah, two still just object three. Three. He'll lambast.
00:21:02
Speaker
Oh, so we're just doing it already for him. Class first class. He will. He will like how high you think first class ranks. I think it's going to be below the second one. It's going to be top three. I agree. Yeah. Yeah. Although it might be number two, because like I mean, number one, maybe I'm looking up really good. It is really good.
00:21:26
Speaker
It is really good. I think, dude, I think X2 is just like, you know, maybe X2 in my own mind, if I went back, I was like, this didn't age well. I don't know. I'm going to go through and we're all going to, we're all going to give it the Galani thumbs up. Galani or Galani thumbs down. All right. X-Men one.
00:21:48
Speaker
I think the line is going to be harsh. I'm going to say thumbs down and I'm going to go thumbs down from John. Yeah, I'm going to say we're going to say, OK, X2 loved it. Thumbs up. I think he's going to say it's good now. It's not great. Dude, I will delete him. That's a threat. That's just him saying it's a good movie. Now what I'm saying, but yeah, but I'm saying, well, wait, John, so like it's it's like thumbs up.
00:22:16
Speaker
Indifferent bad. So you think it would be thumbs up, then? Or do you think he'll be like indifferent? No, I think. Well, that's the thing, because like I think we have this idea in our minds that like it's a it's great and it's like one of the best superhero movies of all time. And I think he's going to use that against it. And he's going to and he's he's not going to say that it's a bad movie by by any stretch of the means, but he's going to say that.
00:22:43
Speaker
and he thinks it's overrated. I remember seeing X2 with Galani and walking out of that theater.
00:22:51
Speaker
He was like, did you see under the water at the end? That was. And I remember being that was. Whoa. And that was before Galani watched the. Horn. Fucking. Horns. Yeah, it is true. It is. Pre Martin Burtman films before before he got he took the college courses.
00:23:20
Speaker
Before they put him in the weapon X program, but for movies. Yeah, I think he's going to say it's overrated now. X3 the last stand. I'm calling it X3. It's not going to X3. What if he says it's actually not that bad? Dude, I will rip his I'll rip his mask off and be like Tim.
00:23:39
Speaker
And I'll say, if it wasn't for me, I would have got away with it because he goes, and I'm in the rat pack, baby. That's right. Right now, dude, isn't that guy like canceled or Ryan Singer, who was. Oh, oh my God. Yeah, you're all bad. These are all bad, bad boys. I hate that. X-Men origins Wolverine. Are we counting those? Yes. Yeah. He's got to watch them all. Oh, my origins. That movie is worse.
00:24:10
Speaker
That's like bottom three. That is literally like bottom three bottom two. All right. That might be bottom of all time. Yeah. Dark Phoenix is like completely terrible, though. I've never seen that one. It's really bad. I didn't even know that existed. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's what I mean. That's what I saw. Excellent apocalypse. And I went, oh, these went bad. These are going bad. Yeah. Dark Phoenix is shockingly somehow worse, like way worse.
00:24:39
Speaker
Because the blue was off the rose by Timex and Apocalypse. And then we had another three years. And it was just like, I think the screenwriter directed the movie too. Because Brian Singer was like, I'm good. I'm good on this. Yeah, it seems like Simon Kinberg has become the writer, director, everything. Yeah, the movie stinks. The Wolverine.
00:25:07
Speaker
James Mangold first would take it Wolverine. I'll be honest. I would. I don't know where Chris would land on this, but there's an R-rated cut that is much better. Which one is this one? Is this the one with saber tooth? This is the one where he goes. No, that's Origins. Origins is saber tooth. This is the one where he's in Japan.
00:25:27
Speaker
He takes on silver. I don't think I watch this one. It's not bad. But you could tell it's kind of held back. And then there was an R-rated call. Yeah, but how's Chris going to think? Yeah, I mean, that's kind of bad. He's not going to like it. Yeah, he's going to say, eh, weeb shit.
00:25:45
Speaker
Alright and then we're kind of doing this out of sequential order, but we're doing this by like trilogy. This is then Logan I think he's gonna give a big Logan is the best one is the best Logan's number one. Yeah, that's pops
00:26:00
Speaker
No, but like that's what we're going to solve for X. That's over X, too. All right. So we're going to say I'm going to say Chris's top three are going to be Logan, number one, first class, number two, because he loves Kevin Bacon and X to his number. He loves Matthew. He loves who loves Matthew Vaughn. But, yeah, Logan's going to be his shining star. And then we have first class. I think he's going to thumbs up first class thumbs up.
00:26:30
Speaker
Days of future pass. I think he's this one's awesome. This is my this is in my life. I hated this movie. I really did. I really did not like this movie at all. There's a lot going on. Do you remember, John, how this still upsets me? And I to this day, I feel like I've been tricked into the gun. I'm wrong. But you're upset by the Kitty pride with weird powers, right?
00:26:57
Speaker
I just thought it was weird. Yeah, did they add that to the comics? I complained about this on the Internet and I was told that's a normal thing in the comics. And I was like, I've never I felt I feel like I've been gaslit by Reddit. Because apparently that's. She can do that. I don't know. It was so strange. Oh, are you getting Mandela affected right now? It was what was what was the secondary power that she can?
00:27:22
Speaker
Travel through time where she can. Kitty pride secondary. Because to me, I didn't know what that was. So I looked at that as they just gave her that random power to, you know. To help the plot of the movie, which is which I think is stupid, you know. Yeah. So I think it's. She can phase through matter and time.
00:27:55
Speaker
That's stupid and. Yeah, and we fought about this. Yeah, it was stupid and you thought it was fine. No, it's just like the rest of the movies, I think, like really good. Like there's a lot to like in this movie. And I was like, oh man, this guy is still really good at directing X-Men movies. He can't miss. I got X-Men Apocalypse.
00:28:19
Speaker
It's just going to go up from here, baby. And that's that's a thumbs down. X-Men apocalypse. Apocalypse was not good. Yeah. Thumbs down. Yeah. Dark Phoenix. I think they had that. They had that Metallica scene. They did have that Metallica scene where he takes off the wings with Angel, right? Yeah, bro.
00:28:40
Speaker
No, I refuse. I refuse. I refuse. I refuse. They had what's her name from Game of Thrones. Yeah. Jean. What's her name? And then she's also in Phoenix. And also this is when it started getting a little too much where you're like, all right, the first movie took place in the 60s and now it's the 90s, but everybody is like the same age as they were in the 60s. And I'm like, come on, guys. Yeah.
00:29:06
Speaker
Cyclops was always lame in every one of these movies He looks like one of those things with dr. The centaurans or whatever yeah, yeah, yeah, honestly, it's like That might that makeup might be in my opinion the worst
00:29:33
Speaker
modern, like big budget, modern day prosthetic, like makeup look in the past, like 15 years. Like this is like the time where you'll be like, yeah, you can do CGI. You could just see like you got Oscar Isaac, who's like hot off of some movies. Mm hmm. And they're just taking them in makeup that doesn't look good.
00:30:02
Speaker
Like it looks okay, but there's too much shit on his face that like I literally want to peel off his his cheeks. I feel like I could literally peel it off him and that'd be fine. And I guess that's like on them for putting a bunch of fucking. Terrible makeup or terrible like like apocalypse has a weird face.
00:30:24
Speaker
Hmm. We've I think we can all agree. He's got a really weird face. I don't know. Yeah. Like Oscar Isaac's knots. It was a bad miss. I'm watching. I'm still watching this scene. Which scene? Man, the Metallica scene. Oh, fuck. Yeah. Yeah. Angel. This is the top of song rules, though.
00:30:52
Speaker
Well, yeah. Are we strong? Was it? Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Let me look. Watch. I want to watch it too. I want to watch the scene. Yeah. Watch it. We're watching. We're watching art right now, guys. So give us a second. Wow. This is this is the good stuff, honestly. Like he's drinking like a fucking he's drinking like whiskey. It's not just right. It's just a four horseman song. Right. Isn't there a four horseman song about Metallica? Yeah. Oh, do you remember that angels in X3?
00:31:21
Speaker
who did nothing except for save his dad at the end of the movie. Okay, he's throwing up the vodka. Yeah, it seems a bad boy, dude. Dude, he's such a bad boy. Apocalypse looks so stupid in this movie. Yeah, it's ridiculously stupid.
00:31:43
Speaker
You'd be weird if they made him super hot, though. Yeah, it'd be super weird. Yeah, it'd be super weird if suddenly he's just like an absolute fox. Yeah, this is a weirdly gruesome scene. Yeah, it is pretty gruesome. Man, this is Fox, man. They don't talk around. Come on. This is sick. Yeah, this song's fucking...
00:32:05
Speaker
Dark Phoenix. I never saw I never saw this one. You guys got to do yourself a favor and watch. Yeah. Do I have to do myself a favor? You got to do yourself a favor and watch two actors just completely not care anymore. Wait, which actors? Uh, so the first one is, uh, God, I feel bad because I blanking on her name. Um, and Game of Thrones. No. Um, we're talking about. What is Michael Fassbender?
00:32:34
Speaker
To be fair, that dude is so, no, literally so actually weirdly, he has the coolest fit in the entire.
00:32:42
Speaker
any of the movies because he's just wearing like a fucking a black like open shirt suit jacket like a really like form fitting suit jacket with his bare chest and he's just wearing the helmet and he's just like doing dope shit with it. The other one is Jennifer Lawrence like spoilers after the first one. She took this movie for about 10 minutes and then she dies.
00:33:07
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, this is post. Yeah, this is post. Yeah, this is like I'm literally in the contract. She doesn't even. Yeah, she's only doing it because she's in the contract. I think it's contract. But like she is so like, oh, no, we can't like she just doesn't care. And her and Michael Fassbender are just like completely over the ship. Michael Fassbender, he's allowed to. It's Michael Fassbender. He probably just assumed he was going to be in like
00:33:35
Speaker
two or three of these, the fact that they drummed him out for four. He was probably pissed. Well, some of the best stuff in the first movie or in first class. I don't know if you guys remember this, but it's like it's ripped from the original script where he was just like a Nazi hunter because there was an X-Men Origins Magneto movie. So and because they were into X-Men Origins Wolverine, X-Men Origins Magneto.
00:34:02
Speaker
Yeah. Wolverine bombed completely. So I think they just like cherry pick some super cool shit from that magneto script and they just put it in the first class. And then, you know, it's cool. It's like super cool stuff. It is. It is. I mean, that's why Chris will like it if he does the retrospective of it. He won't. He won't. We've got Deadpool one and Deadpool two.
00:34:32
Speaker
I think they're both to say they're both bad. I hope not. It's Chris, dude. I think I think he's going to say that. I think he's going to say that. You know, it's funny, though, is like they really are like the first movie. I mean, they're the same movie because I I must I made the mistake where I watched Deadpool like literally earlier that day. Like it was like I finished Deadpool.
00:35:02
Speaker
And then 10 minutes later, I'm in my car on the way to see Deadpool 2. And it was like, yep, that's the movie. The jokes are all pretty much there. It's the same fucking movie. You watched the same movie back to back. That's kind of fun. Yeah, it kind of upset me a little bit. But it's that, but without the heart, right? It's got a bigger budget, but the heart's not there, which is kind of like the secret sauce that the first Deadpool movie had. Right.
00:35:32
Speaker
This one, but I'm still like Over the moon excited for a yes dramatic, but I'm I'm very excited for Deadpool I think yeah. No, I think there's there's a lot going on there. I'm excited for it as well. And then there's the new mutants decides I think it will be in his bottom three see that or did you saw I watched that recently and I was like what though I
00:35:58
Speaker
Fuck, like no wonder they tried to hide this movie for so long. Why didn't you, what was bad about it? It seems like they spent their entire budget on just like renting out an old fancy pavilion and also getting young hip television talent.
00:36:23
Speaker
And it's like the plot's not great. They do some real crappy stuff with a lot of the characters origins. And it's just like, it's just lame. It's just lame, lame, lame. The entire movie is them like running away from like a nightmare wolf, or I'm sorry, a nightmare bear. The nightmare bear, yeah. Dude, I'll be honest, like Shamik,
00:36:48
Speaker
like influences just bore me to tears when the, when it's involving the X-Men language is like, I can't, I can't get into this. It's kind of like vampires. Yeah. In, in like Marvel and DC. I'm like, bro, it's not that it's weird. They exist. It's weird that they're just like, well, it is weird that they exist, I guess.
00:37:12
Speaker
which is a little unfair, I suppose. If I could use this as like a bridge to talk about X-Men 97, because that had its finale. I think the, what's that, life death? I think the life death inspiration episodes that are kind of in that vein, where it's like, ah, what was the name of the monster that is hunting storm? Yeah, it's very much the same thing, yeah.
00:37:41
Speaker
Was that an adversary or something? No, that's from that's from Fables, isn't it? It might be. Yeah. I do think that like I was watching that second. Yes, actually. Yeah, John is correct. Yeah. Fables did it better. Yeah. Here's OK. This is going to be like one of my rare like slams on X but 97. But I feel like that second part left me wanting like there's a good speech in it, but
00:38:10
Speaker
It's just like they go into a cave and then suddenly Storm's like, I'm all better now. Yeah, it was just like a weird three episode journey for Storm to- Yeah. And it's like for a show that is like absolutely banging on all cylinders and like hitting like pivotal points in the comics and you're like, oh shit, oh shit, oh shit. Like to give like that kind of like such like a long breath was interesting.
00:38:40
Speaker
Because I feel like it's like a boring part of the X-Men. I don't know. It doesn't fit. Probably did that in like its own one episode. Like it was cool that they did the Jubilee thing as like a little bit of like a nod to like the game. How did Jubilee not die on an asteroid? And that's a great question. I was curious about that myself. You talk about like when they're just fighting in space.
00:39:07
Speaker
They're just like fireworks and like Bastion was like, wow, I got hurt really bad. And you're like, what? Well, yeah, that's what happened. But he was at her then. He was so right, though. He's like, what are you going to do? Fourth of July, me to death. And I was like, that's a good line. Also, yeah, what are you going to do? And then she just kind of blows them away with. Light explosion magic, I suppose. I don't really know what her powers are.
00:39:36
Speaker
But wow this finale holy hell. Holy hell. This was a great one Like the X-Men 97. I can't wait for season two Yeah, apparently it's gonna take a while. They said please be patient
00:39:50
Speaker
Uh, to which I said, okay. No, uh, no, actually, fuck you. No, I will not give me the show now. Apparently there's a making of coming out too. You think this is going to be where we find out? He knows dude. Cause he said, uh, I think he officially stayed. He was like,
00:40:12
Speaker
Yes, I wrote it. Yes, I worked on it. But he's like, it's not going to have, you know, the touch ups, right? Like he's like, he's not involved with any of that stuff. Whatever they decide to do past storyboarding for season two is like, it's totally up to them. I mean, I mean, spoilers for X-Men 97 season one. Is this season one? Yeah. The finale like.
00:40:37
Speaker
Holy hell, like there's so much going on and I think there's just like great moments for like every character. Except Wolverine. No, no, no. Well, no, I would even say Wolverine. Wolverine is like a real good scene. The ones who got the ones who ate shit are Iron Man and Captain America looking like fucking government stooges. No, dude. They had the hey, hey, hey.
00:41:03
Speaker
We're here for this fuck Iron Man for the slander in his full-ass armor in a bunker like a little pussy Sat there while their friends got nuked. Hey, they didn't know what was going on. Okay Captain America just your optics optics looking bad guys. Damn
00:41:20
Speaker
Uh, you know who did look great? Well, actually, did he look great? Daredevil was doing work, okay? Daredevil was slinging him, dude. Was Daredevil taken out looters or was Daredevil taken out? Because here's the thing. That's a problem. He was protecting his local target from looters. Yeah, he was like, I'm sorry, by all or so. During the civil unrest after Genosha.
00:41:43
Speaker
Someone hit my auto zone with a hammer and I need to make sure it's because it's like he's definitely not taking out the he's not taking out the Bastion Sentinels. Yeah, they go show up to do that. Yeah, they show up to to traffic some kids on to Romania. Yeah, that's what they were doing to blow kids. Hey, you saw Spider-Man and Mary Jane. They're hanging out.
00:42:13
Speaker
Yeah, there was. Yeah. Well, apparently everybody was. Yeah. Did you? Did you see? I was like looking at stuff online. Did you see the like the radio station, the one the one couple? Yeah, it was in 1996. Oh, six. I think it was. Yeah, which is which is onslaught's first appearance. Oh, that was the month. That was the month he came out. So, bro, you know, onslaught's the best.
00:42:41
Speaker
Maybe not the best, but I love onslaught. He's perfect for this, for this shit, dude. Oh, dude, he's so 90s. He's so 90s, it hurts. I will hear no onslaught, Slander. No, no, no. I'm excited for them to do an onslaught episode because that's all they give these huge arcs. These huge arcs get like one episode and you know what? It fucking kicks ass because we're just like running on all cylinders, just hitting all these like huge epic X-Men moments.
00:43:11
Speaker
Um, yeah, I mean, which was like, which is what I was excited for, right? Is like, we can hit up all these awesome stories with this, the 97 coat of paint. And, um, yeah, like obviously with a, with a real quality, quality level of storytelling and all that. And, uh, no, I'm just, it's awesome, dude. I hope season two holds up. Dude, um, morph telling Wolverine.
00:43:41
Speaker
that they love him. Like, Oh my goodness, man. As Jean, as Jean, but you come on, but like, come on. Oh, you know, you know. So it's going to be on Logan to, uh, like, what if he's like, yeah, I just, sorry, it's not really my thing. Are we going to be like, you're a fucking, you're a piece of trash, Logan? No. Cause you know what? I think Logan will be like, no, I think they're fucking dude. I'm more than there was, there was something I saw online.
00:44:10
Speaker
that kind of caught my attention. And it was the fact that is it morph or is it mystique? Because it could very well be mystique. That's a little too deep. So wait, the Changeling mutant was disguised as the other Changeling mutant? Right, yeah.
00:44:30
Speaker
That that feels that feels that feels a little more like, uh, come on. We'll freeze. We'll freeze. Not gay. Come on, man. That's the that's the insurance. That's yeah. That's the policy that took out. That's the Batman doesn't go down on his wife. Oh, God. Is that right? Don't do that. Oh, no. Is that that is that the Disney rip chord for season two? I don't think so. I think that is that why Bo DeMeo left.
00:44:59
Speaker
Or because he couldn't make Wolverine gay. Yeah, because that's what he wanted to do. And this is my master plan. He's like he gets his his straightness ripped out of his body. And then and now he's now he's fluid. Just like the liquid. I mean, the fact that the metal that morph is non binary like just makes too much sense to. Yeah, like, of course. Right. Like why?
00:45:27
Speaker
Why would he be? Yeah. But I guess. Yeah, I guess that's the question, though. Is it reciprocated or is it just like? Oh, OK. I feel like it might be. I mean, I mean, look, there's no way Logan hasn't been. I mean, there's been around. Look, it's been around since like been around. Yeah, dude. You get bored. You're bored, dude. Get it. That dude. Come on. That dude.
00:45:52
Speaker
doesn't care. Dude's like, Oh, there's a hole, buddy. It's what he'll say. Like, I, I, like, that's the thing. Like I like a guy that walks around that has the shirt that says like, I'm not good with 50 bucks is 50 bucks. And you're like, Oh, Logan, it's the nineties. We're allowed to say that.
00:46:12
Speaker
That is it is the 90s and I do. I didn't I do. I do like the idea that like, you know, Morgan just doesn't give a shit like he's just like they just use it's the 90s though. But so like they say shit that you're like, dude, that's not cool. And it's like the 90s cartoons saying this.
00:46:30
Speaker
These pretty rough things. You know, I mean, if you go back and you watch some stuff from the 90s, like it is. Well, that's what I mean. But like, imagine it coming out of an animated cartoon based off the 90s, you know. Well, I like the idea because it's like it's like Logan's been around for so long that like.
00:46:48
Speaker
The 90s don't mean nothing to him. Why did I say that like I was? I know that the 90s don't mean nothing to me, but I mean, more only the eight and the raging eighties. Morph makes me feel good. I like being around them. Morph makes me feel like I'm whole again. Whoa, it's getting deep, buddy. Why do you think I care so much more? Well, he was initially pretty upset because they left morph.
00:47:18
Speaker
And it was like his first day on the squad, the team or something like that. Right. I think it was something like that. Like he more died immediately. Scott's numbers. The fucking bootlicker Scott era was just like, no, we got to go. And then he was dead for like two seasons. And then it came back. And remember who was like really? Really?
00:47:46
Speaker
Yeah, Wolverine was terrified or not terrified, but he was a. He was completely. Yeah, he was crushed. I wonder why. Well, he can't just have a friend. He can't just have he says, oh, my my piece, my meat sack just got taken from me. I mean, I don't know it. You had to deal with Sabertooth right after that. We'll have I'll have none of this. So anyway,
00:48:14
Speaker
Yeah, minor spoilers, but. It is going in a direction that I distinctly don't love. This is a me thing, but like this time travel stuff is it seems like a bit much for a season two, but considering this is like technically like a season seven. No, but it's like ancient apocalypse shit, so it's fine.
00:48:36
Speaker
I know. I know. It's just this is a totally a me thing. Like, I just don't know. It'll be done by the first episode of the next season. Yeah, they'll be. They'll be doing onslaught episode two. It's going to have a metal back by mid episode six. They'll be doing X-Force by season episode three. Because like, because like, you know, Gambit was a horseman. Wolverine was a horseman.
00:49:03
Speaker
That's how you get Gambit back, how you get Wolverines Metal back. You know, it's just like, is it good? Do you want it to happen? So quick, but I mean, that's. I mean, that's just the pace of the show. And I mean, not everybody has the unlimited anime budgets like anime does. Right. Like Disney's, especially Disney's like clock's ticking. But John, you were correct when you called this the best anime. It's the best anime of all time. The best anime.
00:49:31
Speaker
It's better than One Piece, better than Cowboy Bebop. It's better than One Punch Man. It's better than, let me see, what's that? U-Haka Show. The U-Haka Show. Better than Neon Genesis Evangelion. Better than Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood. Better than Dragon Ball Z. Better than Naruto. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, sure. LCL. I love it. Yeah, we can, we can, fully cool. Dude, what happened? I used to, I used to like anime.
00:50:01
Speaker
And you you decided you had a limit to your patience. Well, I never I never watched like a like. Filler, I guess the first season attack on Titan, I was getting tired of it. Yeah, because a lot of it was just like too depressing and sad and thinking about stuff.
00:50:23
Speaker
You know what, man? I don't know. Like the first like three episodes of Attack on Titan are rough because you're like, this guy will not stop screaming about everything. He kind of sucks. I love cowboy bebop. I love fully coolly. I'm like shit. That's like has a pretty quick like, John, did you ever watch cyberpunk? Eggs runners? I need to watch that. I've heard. I think I think you both would love that. I'm going to watch. I'm going to watch.
00:50:52
Speaker
Arcane first. Arcane's also great. Fuck. Yeah, you know that one that one's a weird miss Right now my favorite anime right now is Castlevania best anime right now Castlevania very good Dude I watched and like read all the GTO too. Have you even done that Devin? No, I've not that's the car. That's cars, right the car one. Oh
00:51:17
Speaker
No, it's the great teacher. Oh, no. OK, what? I'm thinking of additional P. That's a fucking solid anime. I watch that baseball anime major. Yeah. Do you watch a hippo hippo, the boxing one, too? Oh, Najima. How's you made no. No. No. No. Next month is final slam dunk is coming to release. It is releasing. So we're going to be able to watch that. But
00:51:47
Speaker
I've been loving Delicious and Dungeon. Like that show has has kept me on the edge of my seat every week. You know, it's funny, I found myself bored with that one. I kind of was like, I get it. And it was like the third episode where. I don't know, they fucking meet a spider or something and they like the mage girl, I felt useless.
00:52:12
Speaker
So that was like episode three or something. You know what? You know what? The good times, the good times before it got all fucked up. Jesus. With that dark. What do you say fucked up? Because like we're talking about anime here. Like you've seen you've watched Berserk. Talk about how fucked up are we talking? Talk about fucked up, Devin. Talk about having to use black magic, Devin, to bring back somebody, but having to also pull their corpse out of a dragon piece by piece so they can put it together.
00:52:43
Speaker
All right. Yeah. Is it goofy? Or is it like, Oh, I mean, that's the thing. There's, there's like parts where it's like this goofy fun, ha ha ha. And then there's parts like that episode where like legitimately they are, they are climbing into the guts of a dragon and they, they, they, they're literally breaking down because they don't know what parts are from a wolf and what parts are from a human. And they're like, we both go with what? And I'm like,
00:53:12
Speaker
Okay. He's like, Oh, wow. This is a pretty heavy. Okay. Okay. Okay. Now there's a, that Terminator anime. It's coming out. I need your clothes, your boots, your hat, your sword, your guts, your harem. I need your love interest. The show that like has definitely been like the, like,
00:53:38
Speaker
I've you guys are like the X-Men heads of the podcast. I've I've always been like I like my superhero Batman and Superman and DC. This is this is the one where I kind of definitely was like. Oh, right. I remember why I had action figures of these characters growing up.
00:54:04
Speaker
is because they're a cool, they have like legitimate real world problems other than like, oh no, they're doing a registration. I mean, I guess they are doing a registration for the mutants all the time, but it feels a little less forced when it's the X-Men because it's something we see every day in our news cycles and like what's going on. So it's like, yeah, this all makes sense. This all checks out. This would all happen to these people.
00:54:34
Speaker
And also Magneto's sexy as hell. Like, come on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the most important part. I mean, yeah, it's...
00:54:42
Speaker
It's still comics, though, so it's like it's still goofy. It's well, that's the thing that I like. I love like the like the cheesy 90 goodness 90 90s goodness. Yeah. Like it still has like that like heart and soul, but like that Janosha episode, which I think is going to be like the standout. Like when we're doing like the the anti-fanny's this year. Yeah, that's definitely going to be like episode in the conversation. Yeah, it's in the conversation for a lot because like that was like a game changer like that. That episode.
00:55:13
Speaker
I think that episode might have like legitimately bumped Gambit up in my head. Like I've always loved Gambit like for his style and I'm throwing cards. But that episode like made Gambit like a superstar. No, that too, you know what that is? That's the, uh,
00:55:31
Speaker
That's the episode where Nino Bot dies and Beast Wars. And you're like, wow, it's just the stick of shit ever. Like, sure. You're like, you know, I know about rules and now I'm now I'm like, I'm hurt in a way I didn't think I'd be hurt. You do. I watching that dino bump. Dinobot bumper sticker on your car. Dino. Would break for wouldn't break for rat trap, actually. So that's fair. Yeah. That guy stinks, dude. How do you get that accent?
00:56:02
Speaker
He's a transformer in the Stone Age. Why does he have a Brooklyn accent? I don't get it. I'm with you. I agree. No, it's very, very, very good with very few, you know,
00:56:24
Speaker
Some like, you know, bad moments, right? It's all pretty much even the bad moments are like not that bad. Like me complaining earlier about like the storm getting her powers back. Ark was like fine. It's not like I was craving, but it's still decent. It's just like there's just so much more to mine, and that's what I'm excited about. Like it's like, dude, there's so much.
00:56:52
Speaker
room to play in right it's just like we just open the door to like everything dude they had a big picture of fucking colossus in the background while forage was talking with bishop it drives me up a fucking wall that colossus one i don't know if you guys really have he's on the he's on forge's wall he's like yeah he might be yeah he's not missing he's just there he will be
00:57:15
Speaker
Yeah, him and Iceman, like they're going to have a really cool like present day squad, I think next season. Yeah. But because like you need you need a heavy maybe maybe leave Kitty pride off the team. I don't know. Maybe she needs to be in the same opinions. Yeah. In jail. All right. I'm looking. I'm looking at the wall right now. This is who is not having some shit all their face. Colossus.
00:57:42
Speaker
Um, I don't know who this is with like. Where's this? Where's this at? Oh, I'll I'll post this picture real quick for you guys in shit talk. Um, so this is the picture of the team. Is that that's not Fanta Max. Who is that next day? Rogue. That's not. I think that's Fanta Max. That's not Fanta Max. That's not Fanta Max. I can't read that. It's his blurt. That's a woman. Uh, there's imagine.
00:58:11
Speaker
Iceman and havoc. Is that Warhawk next to cable and Quicksilver? Their shadow cat. And then there's Emma Frost. Yeah. Yeah, I think that's what that squad's sick. Who? So you guys don't think that's Phantom X. It kind of screams Phantom X to me. Fanics doesn't wear fucking black, right? Yeah, he does. Have you remember his ex force fit?
00:58:40
Speaker
This is an X for seven. Actually, you are white next force. I can't not now. I'm like now I'm all fucked up. So you know what I did love, actually, the subtle. Costume updates that they were doing. Like Jubilee got her like black jumper that she pretty much wears now. You know, one road still same thing like she her costume got updated.
00:59:07
Speaker
You know what? Dust! Dust. Oh, Exodus? Okay, so Colossus, Dust, Magic, Iceman, Havoc, Exodus. I don't know. Who the fuck is Dust? Not Phantom Exodus. That's what it says? Dust. Yeah, in the second picture Steve posted. Who the fuck is Dust? I know, yeah. That's why I'm so mad about it.
00:59:37
Speaker
It's a real character. Oh, it's not that created by South Korea or sin. Grant Morrison and Ethan Van Skyfer. All right. Dust is. Transform Soraya is immune with the ability to transform her body into a pliable cloud. She's not making the team. I'm sorry. She's not making the team. John here. Here's what the team is going to be. It's going to be Colossus.
01:00:06
Speaker
Iceman. Havoc. Magic. And Emma Frost. Maybe Kitty Pryde, but I don't know if she deserves a spot after after all the allegations that we've seen. Can we can we talk about how Forge is like cables a wall? This guy just fucking beat it like. Dude, well, I mean, don't don't don't be.
01:00:32
Speaker
So yeah, how is how is Iceman not AWOL when he was on the original team and just wasn't anywhere to be found? Well, he did. Yeah, he did think because he's like he outgrew the professor. I just watched that clip, actually, because I was like, it was so weird that Iceman wasn't on the squad. Initially, who is that war path? Who is that? No, that's Exodus.
01:01:00
Speaker
Who the fuck is Exodus? You don't know Exodus, bro. I could say that. Exodus is a super villain. What? Yeah. And he's he's like an Omega level telepath or something. But he's I think he's banging. He's banging somebody. That was like a big deal. They're like, oh, my God, they're banging. They're sleeping.
01:01:31
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Find out my late 90s, early 2000s. Fuck are all these people? Come on. Exodus. Come on. Come on. No. Yeah. So I don't know. Season two squad's going to be pretty weak. I'm not going to lie. Oh, Exodus was one of the four horsemen in the original series. Fuck off. Get out of here with that.
01:02:00
Speaker
Lane I believe you it's just like it's weak actually stinks dude he's gonna show up he's gonna be like Exodus time who are the four horsemen gonna be is it gonna be to me Wolverine it's gonna be gambit leech
01:02:29
Speaker
Um, who's the fourth one? That's a good question, actually. Do maybe it will be leech. I'm not even joking, because like, you know, why, why, why was Psylocke with Alpha flight? She's not fucking Canadian issue. No, she British. OK, so they just threw her on there just because they had the open spot. Yeah, Sasquatch was busy. I mean, let's be honest, though, like you want you want.
01:02:59
Speaker
I'll pick her over anybody. She can be. I don't want her on the fucking lame ass alpha flight. That team is lame, dude. That's a team full of fucking lames. And maybe I'm saying it because they're Canadian, but like. And this is like this. Is this including the 50 state registration initiative? I don't know. Remember, like there was like Connecticut had its own superhero team. All right. Oh, no, that went real bad. It's for Stanford. North Star.
01:03:29
Speaker
Snowbird Sasquatch Shaman. That team is told that we tell dirt, dude. Are you kidding? That's not a team. That's like, you know, they're claim the fame is is that Wolverine sometimes hangs out with them. Oh, Puck was there to, you know, pucks. Oh, pucks. Cool pucks. Cool pucks. Pucks. All right. We all like pucks to stand out. You think he cares about Snowbird? Like no one cares.
01:03:59
Speaker
Sorry, Steve. I know you're a big snowboarder. He's like a miniature beast, right? He's like beast that didn't turn blue, but like little. Yeah. Yes. No, he's not. I'll take him on my. I'll take him for my basketball team. That's a fun. That's a fun. Yeah, as Puck. Yeah. Yeah. No idea. Puck's cool. Puck's my catch. Aroar's lame.
01:04:24
Speaker
Um, north star is like probably the definition like he's a definition of lame like I don't like north star dude alphaflight sucks even their name sucks He has twin powers, right north star. No, just call him beta flight. They're beta flight to me to be honest They don't deserve them didn't put alpha. You know what? I agree Oh Gross thanks, Steve Yeah
01:04:57
Speaker
He's a it's puck up I think right now puck is like in space Well, I was I mentioned the spider-man Mary Jane thing because that was like a big cliffhanger that the spider-man comic ended on and
01:05:19
Speaker
where he was like going to go into the universe multiverse to find his wife. And it seems like, well, he did it. He found her. Now they're hanging out. There was did you catch the. All magnetos kids on the boat. Oh, yeah, dude. You know what? Like, I understand why Polaris doesn't get any play because she's literally just girl magneto. She gets play. She's she's fucking a summer's brother. Like that's not play.
01:05:50
Speaker
You know what I mean, though, right? Like privilege. But I'm just saying that's that's what. It's like, dude, literally your dad just turned off the electromagnetic waves of the planet. Yeah. Hold on. Can we talk about that? OK, so Magneto turns off the power on the planet. Charles says, fuck you. I'm going to mind wipe you.
01:06:18
Speaker
I'm going to mind web use so I could bring power back to the planet, enabling all these fucking super sentinels just so I can try to save you.
01:06:28
Speaker
To save us from the Super Sentinels that I just mind what? Dude, dude, the the movie on later that night, TV back. Yeah, it is admittedly pretty convoluted. Yeah. Charles Xavier is probably the fucking stupidest person alive. He is infuriating, dude, like I cannot stand him like he's the worst.
01:06:50
Speaker
I can't imagine ever having his, you know, wanting to be on his team, Charles. Yeah, being on Team Charles because he's bad, dude. Oh, it does fuck shit up like states. If you just stayed in space like they probably would have figured it out. I mean, they didn't need somebody to basically force Magneto to fix it. No. Yeah. But the problem is like Xavier is not Alpha. He's not he's not a mega level, right?
01:07:16
Speaker
But like, you know what? He's treated as he's a mega. So my argument is like, why, why, why Jean isn't able to do the stuff he does? Like, why can't she do it?
01:07:32
Speaker
Well, I think why did they why did they why did they fucking? They fucking Gandalf to her like. Right. Yeah, she just did like literally the MVC three thing. Yeah. Yeah. She fucking turned into the Phoenix for the the right moment in time for her to save everybody and fly away. And then she couldn't use the Phoenix again. Like she's like, Oh, it left me. It burned. It burned it up.
01:07:57
Speaker
Yo, maybe this was a bad episode. Yo, this show sucks. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's got the fucking crutch. It's got the crutch of nostalgia. That's it. What's more anime than that, though? That's true. What's more anime than that?
01:08:16
Speaker
But like, come on, like, look, go to shit talk right now. Look, that's basically Goku. He's level three. Just out of nowhere. Goons. Look at these fucking goons. That's just sad. You know what? Hey, hey, you know what? Glass half full. He found a shield. At least he found a shield. You don't know that. That might be Tazza Rope. Rope. Rope. Yeah. Rope yeeted that shit like. Yeah. Threw that two states away. Yeah, that rope fight was sick.
01:08:44
Speaker
Mm hmm. So fucking dude, Scott. That's actually the whole fight sequence. In general, the Exodus was awesome. The biggest highlight for me or one of the biggest highlights was when was when Scott tells Wolverine, like, don't, you know, after he says don't break her heart or again or whatever, he just says, like, do what you do best to heal. Yeah. Because you don't really think about that, right? Mm hmm. Like that is what he does best, but people, you know. Yeah.
01:09:13
Speaker
Yeah, like that's pretty that's pretty cool. I thought it was pretty cool. Now, it's a nice, you know, because they haven't like really spoken like they've been, you know, I was like an astonishing X-Men moment when he was like, Logan, get that thing off my lawn like that. Yeah, that was like, you know. They, you know, they're there. They acknowledge each other. They have respect for each other. And then like there was that one time where like we're Scott fucking like fucking
01:09:43
Speaker
fucking mega blasted the the Sentinels and Logan Logan was like, oh, I forget sometimes that you're a fucker. Like you could be like sometimes I forget why you're in charge. Yeah, I forget why you're in charge. You know, it's like one of those things. So I thought that was cool. I got duped because I thought King. I thought King Tachaka was T'Challa at first. Oh, and so the gray hairs.
01:10:12
Speaker
Well, yeah, I thought well, I got emotional a little bit because because they made him look just like Chadwick Boseman. Yeah. And, you know, they made him really look like him. So I was like, oh, man, it's John. And then it wasn't to Charles. So I kind of like. Well, I saw the gray hairs and I was like, OK, like.
01:10:30
Speaker
We're going to get it. We're going to get it to call it some. It's just like, you know, I get it. And like, I just want to like smash the emergency glass and give him everything. But it is kind of like it's just just give him everything. But just give him everything. Let him fucking make a black man. Give him the whole thing. Yeah. Let him give me it all. So how old is the child? Just a baby right now. He's probably like a hot like 19 year old dude.
01:10:57
Speaker
You know, waiting for his dad. Storm's supposed to smash that, right? Yeah. They get married? Storm's what? Like 30? Well, she's got to marry Forge first. Storm's like a Jennifer Williams, right? It's like, why would it work? And it never works. I do like Storm. I do like storage. I'm a fan of storage. Storage is good. I like it. I like storage, yeah.
01:11:22
Speaker
I like storage. I also like they were fighting. I also like what would we call it? Mulverine. Like is that what? Mulverine. Mulverine. Wharf. Wharf. Yeah. Wharf. Wharf. I like wharf because it's just. What else? What else? What else? Yeah, I mean, yeah, maybe this wasn't bad episode.
01:11:52
Speaker
Well, okay, and then we get to the then we get the hot pocket lips. Yeah, dude, you know, it's gonna do this. Okay. This is gonna hit us like a fucking shotgun blast to the face, dude. Okay. When X-Men 97 season two comes out, hopefully, hopefully not five years from now, but like when it comes out next year.
01:12:13
Speaker
the first episode intro and it just shows Colossus, Iceman. Like she's the new team. That's going to hit. That's going to be sick. They have to do that, right? That would be sick if they did. They got to just do it. I agree. Where are the Wolverine right now?
01:12:31
Speaker
You know, I think it's my theory. He's just a fucking lump of flesh on the ground somewhere in Wolverine time travel. No, he's just going to be fucking healing for this. So is is is with the team in modern day be Wolverine Colossus, Iceman. No Wolverine. Wolverine's still a lump of flesh on the ground. He's still a lump of flesh. Because I mean, like you give me you give me Wolverine and Colossus, then you get so special.
01:12:59
Speaker
Because think about are we really going to have four story arcs going simultaneously in the next season? Are they going to give it some room? Because like we have that's true. We have anxiety. No team, which is like Xavier. Who else? Magneto Rogue. Who else is there? Beast. There's a lot. Yeah. The professor X and Jubilee or not. No, Jubilee and Sunspotted. Yeah, Professor. Yeah. So that's going to be weird because like I said, this court like
01:13:28
Speaker
It's just going to be rogue and magneto just fucking like force feeding anti-human propaganda to baby apocalypse. Yeah. And they're really going to. They're really good. Humans suck, dude. This is what you know. It's all you know it.
01:13:45
Speaker
They bombed us. Dude, they don't ever change. Like they're trying to make you make these pyramids. They don't stop. They don't stop. We have we have that story arc. And then all the parallel is Gina Scott in the future. Right. With with the young cable. And I guess that's Rachel Summers. Right. The old. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Ascon the Ascon girl. So yeah. So we're going to have that. That's two.
01:14:15
Speaker
storylines. And then third one is present day, which is going to be the new team with Forge and Bishop Bishop Bishop is a fucking badass. I love Bishop. He's I think he's so cool. Whatever he pops out of nowhere. But so that that's going to be the third story. So that's three. And then, like, what are they going to do with Wolverine unless, like,
01:14:37
Speaker
Are they going to skip Wolverine for this? Well, I mean, he's he'd probably be like a part of that modern day. The story line, right? Yeah, I guess it's like. And there's no reason why he couldn't be anywhere, right? Because like, logically, it doesn't make sense that he wouldn't have time to travel. And apocalypse gives him his medal back, right? Yeah. Mm hmm. Is that a man back? Yeah, that's how he gets it back.
01:15:03
Speaker
I'm pretty sure Logan. So Logan still has to be in the present day. Yeah. Or like, I don't know. This guy's like, hey, back in the.
01:15:12
Speaker
Egyptian days, let me show you some cool shit cuz I'm a popular Wolverine Wolverine is just a lump of like breathing fleshlight for more for now He's just hitting bong hits out of the mushy Wolverine skin I'll Work on those bones boy Good
01:15:41
Speaker
But so when we get ice man, is he gonna be a mega ice man or no? Baby you can't have I mean like they're already throwing around Omega everything You know in this We need to tone it down. That's the problem with these fucking X-Men We need a no more mutants situation happening season three season three guys are
01:16:08
Speaker
Quicksilver off planet. That's crazy, right? It's like you can just throw a rock and be like, that's the season. That's the season. You know, onslaught. That's the season. Yeah, that's all on the whole onslaught. That's the season. I mean, like, that's the thing, like them messing in each other's brains. This final episode, I thought it was going to lead to onslaught. I mean, that is what happens in the comics. Like, that's exactly what the onslaught.
01:16:33
Speaker
Yeah, it's going to be apocalypse first though, right? I'm assuming. Probably he's there. Yeah. Yeah. With his cool. But dude, they're going to end. So they're all going to run into the onslaught egg.
01:16:47
Speaker
And then everything's just going to be a little bit more modern. And then we're going to expand it out to. What a babe. This is like this is like a hot Ganondorf. Hot, hot Ganondorf and tears of the kingdom. That's what and that's ends up. That's what they did where people were like, damn, why is he so hot? Like, why they didn't have to go
01:17:10
Speaker
Why is he so high? Yeah, no, but for real though, like he's literally he's literally sitting there flexing like a fucking Egyptian God like when they when they go back in time like fucking you know, it's gonna make me know probably nutted like fucking five times or I just Look at him by body those fucking body bag those humans and he was like that's how he said it Why does he look like that
01:17:38
Speaker
Because he's a dude. What do you mean? But he control his own like his fucking parents. You know, it's like Dr. Doom, right? It's like he became the ruler of time and space, but he still couldn't fix his fucked up face. This is he's like, he's got a new lyrics to apocalypse. His power is he literally can change how he looks, though, basically. Yeah, apocalypse. I'll be honest. Gun in my head, I really could explain his power set.
01:18:07
Speaker
Like he just he just changed it to mega level. I know that's what's weird. Fraud. Yeah. Like, why is he so strong? Because like all he can do. And I know it's not about the power, right? It's like it's about the drive of apocalypse. But like he. Well, no one is still at least I don't know if they're all this route, but he is known as the first mutant. Which is like cool. But his like his power set is just so.
01:18:38
Speaker
He just changed. He can change his the shape of his body, the size of his body. I think that's kind of it, right? I mean, a lot crazy. Yeah, but don't they? They give him the armors like a big deal that he gets. Yeah, I thought he doesn't. Because remember in uncanny X-Force when like the fucking baby clone Evan Sabinder or whatever his name is. Yeah. When he like goes up to the armor and sees it.
01:19:05
Speaker
And Deadpool's like, dude, if you get in that, we'll fucking kill you. He basically says that to him. So I'm sure that armor is like a big part of. All right. So this is what this is what A.I. tells me telekinesis, superhuman strength, superhuman durability.
01:19:23
Speaker
Teleportation telepathy immortality mental manipulation. Oh, he's that he's Devin's create a character Yeah, he's weapon 109 in a in WWE. Okay, max out everything. Yeah, but he's not a mega level Yeah, like what the fuck he can uh, he's the body to control his body's Molly the power to control his body's molecules Which means flex which is like why you can get the cool hammer hand? But like I don't know
01:19:57
Speaker
Okay, so he he merged he merged with the celestial army armor that he got or celestial technology So that's probably what makes him super And one of his um
01:20:14
Speaker
One of his powers is immortality. That's stupid. Yeah. Oh, that's my beauty. I hate puberty. I'm just immortal. Yes. Total control over the molecules of his body, which enables him to alter his form as it suits him. So change your fucking weird clown lips. Why not do your life such as allowing his body to become extremely malleable and flexible, enhance his physical abilities, transform his limbs,
01:20:41
Speaker
The weapons, wings, or jets regenerate from fatal injuries, generate a wide range of powers at will, and adapt this body to, apparently, any disease, or what? Oh, OK. That's just any seizure or hostile environment. He can also project and absorb energy and is capable of technopathy, being able to directly interface with the various technologies he has at his disposal. So he's just a Doom, like, god mode.
01:21:08
Speaker
Yeah, he's like he has a sick mutant ability and then he has like celestial upgrades And he's genius genius too. Oh, yeah, that's so smart. He can't fix his stupid lips. But yeah good knowledge of celestial technology that he uses for his own applications such as altering
01:21:33
Speaker
Yeah, like there's that and like, you know, he's just a really like charismatic guy, too, you know, so he's been around. Yeah, he's he says dope shit. I think maybe I think maybe the argument is maybe he's not omega level, because if he was, then there wouldn't really be a point, right?
01:21:53
Speaker
Yeah. Apocalypse. And let's let's Omega. I don't think he is. He's not on the list. He's not on the Tim Lucas. The Tim Lucas 11. Right. The Lucas 11. Yeah. Wait, how many Omega levels are there? According to some apocalypse is not Omega level because his mutant ability is not Omega level. However, there's other powers that don't come from the ability level. His existence is Omega level.
01:22:22
Speaker
Wait, how many? You know, you know what that is, dude? That's an Anakin Skywalker. You're on the you're in the internal circle, but you don't have the rank of master. We do not. We do not grant you. I actually I said that to to my to the other day. You said you don't. Yeah, because we're like potty training or so. Like he's like semi semi consistent now. Like sometimes we'll go. But like sometimes we'll just like be lazy, which I get.
01:22:52
Speaker
So usually, I got him a bunch of stickers. I got him Street Fighter stickers, Mario stickers, and Disney stickers. And he really likes them. So he gets a sticker every time he pees in the potty. Well, he didn't pee in the potty this time. And he's like, can I have a sticker? And I was like, we do not grant you the rank of master. And I was like, no, we do not grant you the rank of master. You do not get a sticker. OK. X-Men, definitely. Wow. Raw hot.
01:23:22
Speaker
Speaking of, yeah, speaking of marginalized communities, we talk about the Assassin's Creed discourse that's been happening this week.
01:23:32
Speaker
Yeah. You know, what's funny is, uh, I had Steve earlier watch the, I put the mighty key video. Oh, I didn't watch that yet. Well, like, yeah, it's so funny. Oh my God. It's in the, uh, it's in the games thing. If you want to just like listen to it off, you know, whatever. Why can't, why can we go back to hating these games? Cause they're bad, you know, right? Like the games aren't good. They're dog water. So.
01:23:59
Speaker
But now, like, you know, people want to shit on it because they have an actual real person. Like, to be honest, he was surprised. No, but like, even if he wasn't like. Historically, an historically accurate existing person, like who cares? Yeah.
Assassin's Creed and Video Game Critiques
01:24:19
Speaker
You know, literally, you're on a flaming horse fighting Anubis, right? You know, it's like, yeah.
01:24:27
Speaker
I mean, I don't know. I mean, I guess the one argument I can see is like if Ubisoft is the type of company that would pander to to the community by doing this. But like, I don't know, man. Yeah, it's like, you know, like they make this game, it's whatever. They wanted to use this story, this, you know, this. Person, this person.
01:24:54
Speaker
to be their one of their main characters in the game, like fucking cares. Yeah. Gives a shit, dude. It's fucking a sad. It's going to be a bad game anyway. So who cares? It's going to be like it went from seven point nine. Man, Ubisoft fucking going through it because like the first major issue was the it was like I don't know if it was like if it was real or not. I think they backtracked it. But like there was a thing that said that you had to be online all the time.
01:25:24
Speaker
Yeah, people were fucking furious and I was like, oh yeah, this is the good stuff that I love I love all good gamer. Hey, yeah And then and then I went to oh like, you know, we're mad because I
01:25:39
Speaker
We're mad because we're racist and it's like yeah You know It's It's like I literally just think you're a bot you're just a I bought like at this point complain fucking stream my twitch stream monster at that point Yeah, like I just can't I can't really fathom. So like it's It's people about it. It's people it's people who've been just like I
01:26:06
Speaker
You know, like here, here's a website that will absolutely just like turn you into like a night, a nightmare Nazi person. Yeah. And it's, I don't know. It's like, dude, there's so many games. There's so many games where you're a Japanese man in Japan. I mean, like, dude, how many times has it been where it's like.
01:26:23
Speaker
the white savior comes to japan and becomes the last samurai not enough i tell you yeah apparently not enough not enough i'm gonna go play neo i mean listen it's like yeah i'm gonna go play neo and like people are like people are acting like they don't we don't have fucking actual like japanese protagonist samurai games literally every samurai game is that like who cares who cares dude
01:26:52
Speaker
I just I like I wasn't I'll be honest like I wasn't surprised nor did it even like up my heart my beats per minute you know I was just like okay the worst part is when
01:27:03
Speaker
People try to go in, like being like, oh, it's good for the sanctity of history. Like, come on. Like, where are you lying to? It's a it's a bad video game made by a bad developer. What's the what's the Aspen gold? What's the new Aspen gold video? Is he talking about this? I don't I'm I do not know.
01:27:29
Speaker
I'm sure he grabbed his bloody gums and wiped them on the wall in anger, maybe. If that's the guy we're talking about. Yeah. Yeah. I don't really know who he is. I've never seen a second of this guy. I've seen pictures of him and I've said, Oh, no, thanks.
01:27:46
Speaker
You know what? I don't even think he's talking about it. Like this is how stupid it is, right? Yeah. That's how like, that's how like, like low tier shooting fish in a barrel. Yeah. Like that's what, yeah. It's like, dude, even, even the, the guys that normally talk about this stuff aren't talking about this stuff. Yeah. This is like the people who are still fighting the Ghostbusters 2016 war is. Yeah. Like isn't that tiring guys? Like, are you tired of that?
01:28:17
Speaker
It's hard being that mad all the time about everything. I guess you got to. Oh, I'm sorry. He did one two days ago. Oh, my. You know what? Sounds makes sense. I'm sure the real reason this game sucks. That's what it is. Those walls are all covered in gum blood. You know, three and four. All right. Damn. All right. My mistake.
01:28:45
Speaker
It's a logical complaint now. The asthma gold thinks it is. Sorry. Yeah. With his scurvy. Whatever the fuck's going on in that guy's face. You just don't brush or something. I don't know. I don't know. Yeah.
01:29:05
Speaker
Good for them. I will probably play it at some point because I generally find myself playing. I've always found those games to be really good. Like there's nothing going on. It's winter time. Like all the games you've already played or whatever. I mean.
01:29:23
Speaker
don't have to get into it but like I've been I've been in my rut and I've just I'm finding old old pillows that I'm laying my head on old crusty old Witcher 3 pillows that I'm just like ah I remember these lumps this is fun this is nice you know what hold on what if this is like a super covert operation where it's like they took like a franchise that like
01:29:48
Speaker
should have died a long time ago. But it's like still just like on like, it's on like, just like life support. And they're like, all right, we're gonna make a game. We're gonna make it the way we think it deserves to be. It looks cool. It's neat. And you know what? If incel nightmare Nazi people
01:30:17
Speaker
Wanna go nuts on it? Do it. Cause we're Assassin's Creed. And you know what? We're somehow, we're somehow still kicking. We're still going. So they just, they're just, they're like, we'll take this on. We saw where we were built. They were the Wolverine of the team. They're just built for taking hits. They're built for, they're, they're, they're going to tank it. Yeah. Tank the DPS.
01:30:43
Speaker
Whatever, whatever the term is. You know what? We had a game where I think Ben Franklin was a mech in one of the Assassin's Creed's or something. I don't remember. Not Abraham. George Washington was literally like an evil possessed monster or something. Yes. Granted, that was like the DLC that they're like, don't worry. This isn't historical. And it's like, oh, OK. I was worried there.
01:31:08
Speaker
I don't care, man. The parts were da Vinci made like murder machines for you. That was real. That's historical because the murder machines look old. Yes, exactly. But like it's cool. It's cool that, you know, I think it's cool what they're doing, but I don't think it's cool what the wieners are complaining. You think it's cool with it? Like, you know, it's cool. It's like, oh, we finally got the Japanese.
01:31:33
Speaker
Assassin's Creed game, we've won it for years. That was like literally as soon as they started. As soon as they started jumping around, we were like, when's the Japan one? Right. And I think there was like a side scroller one, but we're like, OK, that's not what we want. That's not the one. Yeah. So it's just like, all right, cool.
01:31:54
Speaker
Again, I won't play this day one, but I will pick it up and I will enjoy it for what it is. I'm excited for others to play. It's just not going to be as good as Ghost of Tsushima. You know, it's not going to be or Sekiro or or Sekiro or the Ronin. Rise of Ronin, probably. What's the other one? There's another one coming out this year. Another samurai name. It's called Black Mythbook. No, it's not.
01:32:25
Speaker
I thought Rise of the Rhonda was it? Well, the shit. I mean, you're probably right. Maybe you're thinking of Assassin's Creed. Oh, there's another one. It is. I'm looking at the casting of Frank Stone. Yeah. Now, why John looks that up, Steve? Where are you at on this? Because like.
01:32:46
Speaker
It's just gonna be... Are you gonna play this? It's gonna be a cool one of those games. I feel like you're mandated. I feel like you're mandated. You are correct, I am mandated. But it's gonna be a cool one of these games by... What's the name of the company, Devin? I don't know. The guys who did Until Dawn. Yeah, it's those guys. Bloober Team, I don't know. No, not Bloober Team. Bloober Team. I do like that I can just type the word Frank Stone in and it comes up. Supermassive.
01:33:15
Speaker
Yeah. You know what, dude, I'm not going to lie. Like there's not a lot of dead by daylight in this, but the one where you see like the hooks. Yeah. The hooks explode out of the one chick or guy like whatever it was. Mm hmm. Even with my my small. Like knowledge of the lore of dead by daylight, I popped and Phantom Blade. Is that a samurai? Stellar Blade. Oh, Phantom Blade.
01:33:44
Speaker
The Phantom Blade executioners. Is that what you're talking about? I don't know. Coming soon. It looks samurai. It's a 2D. Actually, I don't know if this is samurai. It looks like a game. Maybe I'm capping. I thought you're trying to put another one on the pile. Ghost of Tsushima for PC.
01:34:14
Speaker
No, Phantom Blade definitely looks, I just don't know. I don't know. We might find out more in June when that thing drops. Summer games.
01:34:29
Speaker
Yes, or like, I think Sony said they're having their own thing. No, I do remember because I remember this is like a weird, rare standout and a pretty weak show, I think. You're right. You're right. Yeah, dude. I'm looking at this trailer and I don't know if it's coming out this year, but like I'm into this. This was cool as shit. But are people going to get mad?
01:34:54
Speaker
Well, he's not black, so now everyone will be not everyone, but it's white, though. He looks white. He looks like he's got Ashken hair like a Witcher, dude. There's there's a clip I saw on Twitter of like some Madden streamer playing Devil May Cry 5 for the first time, but he's never played any Devil May Cry games before. OK. And he's like like complaining like, I just don't know what's going on in the game. Like, I don't understand what's going on.
01:35:24
Speaker
as like Dante, whoever was getting, putting the cowboy hat on and doing the Michael Jackson. They started freaking out. It was so funny, dude. And somebody, there's a comment that was like, imagine, there's like, the comparison was like, imagine somebody eating oatmeal for their entire lives and you just give them a bunch of jalapeno peppers, like nowhere. Like that's what it was like.
01:35:54
Speaker
They're like there's something like saying or joke where it's like no matter how you feel just know like if you gave like
01:36:02
Speaker
a peasant in the 1700s, like a fucking, her Rebo like gummy bear, like they would die because like they wouldn't be able to handle whatever the fuck you just fed them. And it's like, okay. Yeah, dude, dude, I'm into this game. Phantom blades here. I hope it doesn't play like a souls like, which it will. So I won't like it. Yeah, it says. Oh, John, you made me remember it and that's I'm happy enough with that.
01:36:33
Speaker
Yeah, I was like fuck this game does look cool This game looks sick. Well Excuse me. Sorry for You gonna are you gonna snipe it on the thing? Is that coming out? Oh Don't worry about I'm waiting Because I'd be I'll be honest. I'd be pretty shocked if this is coming out this year But I mean, we'll see
01:36:59
Speaker
And this is for anybody listening. If you're in the if you're in the if you're in the league. So, John, this is this is relevant. I'm going to be watching those fucking. You know, summer games, fast plays and whatever. I'm watching all that and I'm getting I'm. Open up your pocketbooks, baby. That's all I'm saying, because there's going to be some late zero. That's the name of it. Yeah. But yeah.
01:37:27
Speaker
Oh, this is PS five. Oh, I guess it's coming out for PC two. Yeah. Did you hear that? Wait, did you guys hear that number? Where it was like 50 percent of Sony like PlayStation owners like are still on PS four. Yeah. Really? They're just like, we're good. I'm good.
01:37:48
Speaker
Which is interesting. I mean, are they still making like a lot of their. They kind of. I feel like we're. Ragnarok was the last one, I think like the last big one. Ragnarok. Yeah, but like, yeah, all their all their exclusive exclusives so far have been PS4 to Final Fantasy. Yes. Yeah. Rebirth wasn't now.
01:38:08
Speaker
But isn't rebirth like because I saw Maximilian put out a video that was like, Oh, we might not get a Final Fantasy seven three. Now we are that the millions said that guy knows a lot about a Kuma man. The popular theory is that the budget like for those games are already like allocated. They've already been put in. Yeah. And frankly, they were like they kind of should be in a weird way, like cheaper. Frank Stonley. Yeah. But Frank Stone,
01:38:41
Speaker
PS5 only baby Give me that Frank. Give me that Frank stone, dude
01:38:47
Speaker
Frank Stallone. John, are you are you committing to watching this on stream? Watching Steve play this on stream. Watch me play. Yes. Yes. Yes. Getting stoned with Frank Stone. We're going to be doing a. How many massive. I want to know how many flashlight jokes will there be in this entire. Let's say runtime is seven hours. You're going to get one. One. Someone's going to say, hey, don't click that flashlight in my face. Oh, you're going to make me drop everything. Oh, God.
01:39:17
Speaker
Shut their pallets in my face. Oh, fuck you Frank fucking asshole Okay We got megalopolis We're getting a new head game judge dread movie man Francis Ford Coppela France Ford Coppium Yeah, I don't know I mean listen this is like this I
01:39:45
Speaker
When did Apocalypse Now come out? 70s? Yes. Yeah, this is that all over. The stories are just... I don't know if you guys read that big story on wherever it was, but they were talking about he's... This has famously been a long gestating project. He's been
01:40:07
Speaker
Smoking weed in his trailer because he doesn't know what to shoot next. So they're just like, okay He's he kept making jokes and cracks and like comments like I'm not trying to make a Marvel movie Okay, relax And then they're just like and then we just end up making a Marvel movie because like everything's on green screen Because he doesn't know what he actually wants to show or do And then like hey shocker this like 80
01:40:36
Speaker
seven year old director parties and acts like he did back in his day. So they're like, yeah, this isn't really a PC like, you know, he's doing weird shit on set. And this is what's coming out from the behind the scenes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And like a lot of people left and quit. Like this is one of those things. It's been going on for a while. But yeah. Yeah.
01:41:03
Speaker
Some people are like, it's so weird. It's not really good. I think that the general consensus is they're like, it's not good. It's it's probably bad, but they're like, it's kind of one of those like you should still see it because it's just so it's a swing. Whatever it is, you know, it's a swing.
01:41:21
Speaker
But past that, we got a House of the Dragons season two trailer. Chris and I were, Steve, you didn't watch any of this, did you? No, I didn't watch the first season. I did not either. I think you guys should. I will not. Yeah. I got burned. I got burned on this game. That was, dude, I'm telling you, I'm telling you, that was everybody's thought. I got burned. And then House of the Dragon, season one, pulled me back in. It's legitimately good.
01:41:49
Speaker
Yeah, but it's like you're showing me like an addition to a house that like socks. No, this is like this is like this is the house your grandparents owned. Yeah. And this house rules so far. So far it rules. OK, wait, wait. OK, hold on. This is your grandparents house. This is my grandparents. Grandma's house rules. They got the big TV. They got everything. Like I know. OK.
01:42:17
Speaker
Wait, so these are my parents. Yeah, you're going to a broken home. I understand that. Wait, so when you go to Grant, when you're going, but yeah, but no, yes, yes. Your house is Game of Thrones season five. But when you go to grandma's house and grandpa's house, they got the big screen.
01:42:34
Speaker
Things were really good at my house. They're going to feed you. OK. They're going to buy you whatever you want and they're going to take you to the VHS store and you're going to be able to rent as many wrestling pay-per-view VHS tapes as you want. It's just pulling from my personal experience. I don't know. Maybe.
01:42:54
Speaker
But I'm just saying I was in the dragon is 100% worth saying this is good stuff.
TV Series Buzz: House of the Dragon and Dune
01:42:59
Speaker
OK, dude, it's good stuff, man. It's good. All right. I think it's worth like I think it's it is now officially worth telling somebody, hey, you should watch this. We all know we all we all lived it with it with John being the lone exception. But we all dealt with it. This is this is good stuff. I think it's it's worth it. All right, Devin, if if I watch this show and if at any point it gets bad,
01:43:24
Speaker
Well, that means your grandparents are divorcing. If any point it gets bad, I'm allowed to take a poop and put it into one of those. You remember those nerf bow and arrows? Oh, yeah. I'm allowed to take a poop, put it on a nerf bow and arrow and shoot it at you. You know what? Yeah. OK, because I know how physics work and that thing ain't going to go anywhere except just smear shit all over your stupid bow and arrow set. So I'm I'm safe.
01:43:55
Speaker
You better hope the cards are in your favor. This show can't have a single bad episode. I'm going to shoot you with a shit arrow. I'll take that back. Hey, dude's getting a show. Yeah. I'm in. I'm in. There's a single bad episode. I'm going to take a super soaker with my water, shit water. Top of the toilet, shit water tank.
01:44:25
Speaker
It just flashed. Yeah, it's blasphemy. All right. That's fair. I don't know if I if I want to lean on that so much. That's OK. That's a lot. My whole thing is like this. This is going to be like uber nerdy. Right. But I'm like, you know, technology. What is this? Like 10,000 years in the in the past or something like that. Mm hmm. You know, 10,000 years before the birth of Paul Atreides.
01:44:53
Speaker
So what the fuck does the technology look like 10,000 years before doing because it's not like. I don't know. That's really because I know it's far, far future, but 10,000 years is not a small amount of time. It's like, you know, are you guys still using like iPods? Like what? I don't know. Oh, we're yeah, we're back in the iPad. It's it's there. We're doing a retro Renaissance.
01:45:21
Speaker
I don't know. Like, listen, and maybe this is just me pulling from my own shit because when. So you could shoot it with the bone. Yeah, I can shoot Chris with the bow and arrow. But like when you say like 10,000 years in my big sci-fi universe that I follow, there's a big difference. Yeah, big old difference. This is just like we're talking war. Yeah, we're talking war. You want to talk about the 30th millennium?
01:45:48
Speaker
So do you think they should have called this dune 10 K dune the horse heresy? Yes. That's fair. That's fair. I don't know. I guess I guess it will just add flavor to the because I don't know if this is like is this just going to be like seasons and seasons of people being like there's going to be somebody who could drink blue juice. Yeah, I kind of think so. And that's no worry because I'm like, bro, why 10,000? Why not 50?
01:46:19
Speaker
why not a hundred you know there's gonna be a boy who can drink blue juice and he might not come this time or this cycle but like in like a hundred cycles he might show up he might it's a prophecy and dude prophecy yeah like and subscribe i like it subscribe please i don't know man i really
01:46:43
Speaker
But it's going to be sexy. It looks like it's sex. There's sexy stuff happening. Well, I'll give you something sexy. I'll give you something even more sexy. We're going to get a new CEO over at PlayStation. It's too new. Yeah. It's a fluffle, dude. Oh, it's always good having dueling CEOs. That always works. Yeah. Unless it's Ben and Jerry, I don't care. What about the Twix? Oh, no, they hate the Twix guys. They're at war, Devin. Constant war.
01:47:14
Speaker
I'm sorry, you're right. I would watch. I would watch a Twix television show featuring the Twix Wars. Did you watch that Pop Tarts movie on Netflix? Unfrosted. No, I've heard it's like I've heard both. And I'm not sure where to where to lean on that. A rotten tomato. A rotten tomato. That's where I get my info. Sure. Yeah, so.
01:47:40
Speaker
Hideyeki Nishino and Hermann Holst will serve as joint CEOs. Nishino's heading up Sony Interactive Entertainment's platform business group. And Holst is leading the studio business group.
Sony Leadership News and GTA 6 Speculations
01:47:56
Speaker
So they just found a real cool guy. Well, you know what? We don't have too many of those real cool guy who doesn't fucking care if their games are on PC. So the first guy in the machine knows job will be he's responsible for technology products and the platform experience and third party developer relations.
01:48:23
Speaker
OK, so it's going to be like when they're doing PlayStation six. Yeah. And like the I hope I had nothing to do with the VR, too, because he should not have that. And Herman Holst has the easy job, I guess, in comparison. He's focusing on he's responsible for PlayStation game content and film and TV adaptations.
01:48:48
Speaker
Mm. You know what? Honestly, that makes sense. I wouldn't be surprised if that's going to be a big part of their futures trying to get movies made after last and stuff like that. Makes sense, I guess. I mean, you know, twisty metal, which people seem to love.
01:49:04
Speaker
I don't want to know. I don't want to hang out with that person that loved Twisted Metal, but like that show was shockingly better than I thought it would be. Like I was like, this is going to happen. We're living in a Twilight world, Twilight Zone world, where people say the Twisted Metal show is the best thing since sliced bread. I don't I don't want to be in that world. I disagree very much so.
01:49:31
Speaker
Please don't put me there. I'm going to put you in a world where Donnie Yen's character, Cain from John Wick. Hate that guy. Oh, you hate Donnie Yen. I hate Cain. Oh, Cain fucking sucks. He's talking about Cain the wrestler. No, I hate the guy who killed his brother, Abel. The guy sucks. Oh, we're going full on religious texts. I see. Yeah, dude. All right. Now, Cain the wrestler is garbage person. Yeah, sorry.
01:49:58
Speaker
Glenn. Yeah. Can you imagine just like Undertaker setting his brother on fire? And he's like this fucking idiot. And then Kane's like on fire and he's like, everything's too woke down. There's a black samurai in the new assassin's creed. Kane is absolutely pissed about that. You know, that's the person. And Undertaker is like, I'm going to say you're on fire.
01:50:26
Speaker
I didn't even understand her. I'm like, why are you wearing that t-shirt, dude? And he's like, oh, don't worry about it. Fuck you. Don't worry about him, brother. And Cain's your brother. Cain's my brother, and I wish he wasn't. What? Please. Fuck you, Gary. Fuck your guy. Fuck you, Gary.
01:50:45
Speaker
I love that guy. That podcast is so good. I keep watching clips of them. It's a stupid wrestling podcast. I don't even know. I don't listen to their podcast. I just watched their TikTok clip. Yeah, you watched their TikTok clip.
01:51:03
Speaker
And I keep watching this one about big shows Thanksgiving dinner Where it's like this one guy comes out and his gimmick was he was like a convicted felon who's been in jail all his life And he's like, I hate Thanksgiving! He's like, peace I've had those, give me some peace!
01:51:22
Speaker
So 24, seven, 23 years. I thought. Yeah, it's okay. It's community services. One year or one hour of doing smack down. So smack down once a week. Now, dude, I love those guys. But this came is the John Wick spinoff character. John, you saw four, right? You finally got around to it. Yeah. Mm hmm. Loved it. Loved it.
01:51:50
Speaker
I still think two. I don't know. It's been a while to think. So I love for so much wanted wanted to edge it out a little bit. Is it so hard? Is the tier list two, one, four, three? Maybe. I'm I need to go on. I really, I really did. I really did love for. Dude, I really I. Adored for. Yeah. Two, one and four like.
01:52:20
Speaker
They're like neck and neck wall. Awesome. Yeah. And then three is just just here below it. Yeah. Yeah. Three is just a lot of. Three is just two, but like it didn't. I don't want to say they ran out of ideas, but like two is one, but with a bigger budget and everything's a little bit bigger and three, it just feels more bloated. Three's launching point feels like it should have been like the best one and it just kind of
01:52:50
Speaker
It kind of like got tired of its own premise. Yeah. But I mean, it's like some of the stuff where it's like John Wick on like the motorcycles being like chased down by like a billion people on other bikes. Yeah. That stuff was awesome. But you're like, that's so sick. And then it's like that 45 minute dog scene. Yeah. And you're like, I don't need to see. And maybe that's just it. Right. Maybe that's just the one bad scene.
01:53:15
Speaker
But yeah, I kind of want to get on this. I do. I really do. Because I put your blanket on. Once I once I watch John Wick Chapter four, I know I'll be back on board with the John Wick franchise fully, because I think three definitely was like a stopgap. We're like, oh, are we losing steam? But it's good to hear that four is up there. And we love John. Four. No, four is four is incredible. Like it's really good. We love it. We love it. We love it. No, I'm I'm in. I'm in.
01:53:46
Speaker
There's a scene. There's a scene that that thankfully Chris and Devin didn't even talk about. That when I saw it, I was completely blown away and surprised because you hear about a few things and yeah, but. I think, you know, the scene I'm talking about, Evan, maybe there's a lot of awesome scenes, but. Well, like you guys talked about the stairs, the stairs. Yeah, that was really good. But like, man.
01:54:15
Speaker
No, I think I know what I know. I know what you're talking about. Yeah, man. It's just, you know, and then and then John, imagine you watch that and then some trailer says Monkey Man's the best action movie in the last like 15 years. And you're like, OK, OK. Yeah, you know, man, I really like Monkey Man. You got to stop slandering that. I'm not slandering it. I'm slandering that trail that the marketing.
01:54:42
Speaker
which got me to see it. The trailer to the monkey man. There was probably that guy that fucking likes every transform. You know what I'm talking about? Yeah, I don't know. I would. You know what? There is something that we need to hold people accountable for. It's the people that put in those stupid fucking pull quotes. I want to know what the context is and everything.
01:55:10
Speaker
Was Boban and John Wick three or two? Was that three or two? That was two. Was that two? No, no, it was three. It was three because that's like because he gets all the assassins after him. Yeah. No, I love that. He shot the fucking.
01:55:29
Speaker
The six shooter like a real cowboy in that. Yeah. That puts the whole gun together and then shoots. Yeah. She's from the hip. Yeah. So many good things in three. But no, I think chapter two. I think chapter two is still the best one because you have the you have the wine tasting. Right. You have the wine tasting part. Yeah. You have the catacombs. Where he had the vanilla shock. Yeah. You have all the common, the common stuff. You have the yeah. Yeah. The common stuff at the at the.
01:55:59
Speaker
Like two is like I remember. Yeah, because we watched that one. We watched that one together. I remember fucking screaming in the theater. Like there's only a select few movies where I'm like literally screaming during a whole movie. Yeah. Like movies like one of them. But I mean, maybe I would have been like that, too, if I saw four in the theaters with you guys, too. Yeah, I don't know. I was just like, Oh, my God.
01:56:26
Speaker
but you were busy having a young child. Yeah. All right, so the Chronicle, the Austin Chronicle, I think they're the ones who hyped this up for me. I'm looking at, I'm gonna go through the trailer where it's like, this is the best movie you've ever seen in your life. Agents of fandom.
01:56:54
Speaker
This is too much. Anyway, so the best action film, Gold House, the best action film in a decade plus. Gold House, you fucked this movie up for me. We got to hold these guys accountable, Steve. Do we have to hold them accountable? Yeah. Yeah, we do. Nonprofit organization, Gold House. We're going to go after the the Gold House Foundation.
01:57:18
Speaker
Dude, who's that jerk off? Okay, anyway. Yeah, no, this Kane movie, Steve, you don't even know. You kind of know, but you don't know. Well, we got a... Yes, oh. We got a Grand Theft Auto 6, quote, unquote, delay, which always irritates me.
01:57:40
Speaker
because it's not a delay. It's just when they announce the game, right? Whatever. It's just for engagement. But so I fully expect this to not come out this year. This this has every. Like, just is this supposed to come out this year? Yeah, they said 2025. And now they're saying, OK, it's fall, which means it's going to get delayed till February or March, which is like it's just the way of things.
01:58:10
Speaker
if you're listening to this, do not be surprised. It will happen. Like I would bet a sizable amount of money on that actually happening. And I'm sure there is some sort of degenerate Vegas bet that I could find. It's a hundred percent going to get delayed. Just whatever, right? We don't need 20. We don't need GTA six and 20. Well, I guess we kind of do if you're
01:58:35
Speaker
the games industry, but I don't need GTA six. I don't need it. I'm going to be playing space marine guys. Maybe maybe you don't think so. But now you're going to be playing GTA six when it comes out. No, no, I'm going to be when it comes out. No, no, no, but I'm saying I will be playing it 100 percent. But I'm saying like if if slash when and really when they go
01:59:03
Speaker
Oh, we want to make sure that we have the best quality game for you, blah, blah, blah. This game will actually be delayed to like March 2026. I'll go. OK, cool. And then I'll get excited. You know, but like, I'm not going to be like, dude, two more months. It's fall two more months before I can't wait to get six. I already bought it. It did not come out. Yeah, I'm not that. Not that guy now. And then, uh, Sony, you know what? Maybe this is this Herman Holst.
01:59:33
Speaker
Did he make this call canceling the silk spider societies TV series? Yeah, that was him. Herman. I'm already liking him. That's the right move. That's the right call, guys. I don't know what to tell you. Unless you guys are big silk fans that I don't know about. We all don't even know. Yeah, exactly. Right. That's what Herman said in this.
02:00:02
Speaker
I don't like it. We're canceling this. And oh, by the way, Craven's canceled too. I throw that man a parade. No, they're too deep in. They're too deep in for the Craven dude. Craven got like soft delayed, I think. This is a shocker. It's an R rated bad superhero movie that
02:00:28
Speaker
is based off of a whatever character, like a villain character. It's just not going to go anywhere. You don't know this. You know, why can't why why threaten me with a Craven movie when I could have got a bloodshot to. You know, all right. All right. Come on. Let's not. I'm saying things I can't think of. I don't want to take it back. This guy's going nuts. We got to end this podcast because Devin saying some ridiculous bring back Vin Diesel's blood sport. All right.
02:00:58
Speaker
Everybody make sure. Bloodshot. Galani might be back next week. Might be. Wow. He's got a lot to say about what Devin just said. So it's kind of it's going to be like when, you know, like when John Cena is injured and then John Cena comes back. Mm hmm. And you're like, I thought you were going to be out for six months. It was more like. His name is John Cena! And then Chris Galani shows up. I hate that guy.
02:01:27
Speaker
John Cena or Chris Kalani? Chris Kalani. I hate that no good dirty dog, Chris Kalani. All right. Let's end this. Let's end this. You know, you tell Chris. Tell Chris I'll be waiting for him in my prison cell. That's what you're going to tell him. All right. Bye, everybody.
