Introduction and Summer Adventures
00:00:00
Speaker
Hey guys, welcome to the Beyond the Shot podcast, a podcast hosted by close cousins Melody and Rodney. And on this podcast, we're going to dive into different topics related to movies, TV shows, and the entertainment industry as a whole. Movies are meant to make you feel something, and both of us want to share those feelings with you.
00:00:20
Speaker
So tune in to new episodes every other Monday, and thanks so much for listening. And now, into today's episode. Okay, so this summer has been a very interesting summer, guys. I know you haven't heard from us. It has been over a month now. I think our last episode was just mid-July, maybe. I think I put on an episode in mid-July.
00:00:42
Speaker
it is now recording this. It is September 19, 2025. Sorry, ah sorry guys. Sorry. We had to live our lives. We have summers. We have families. We want to go on vacation.
00:00:54
Speaker
And the movies were put on hold, and we're back. Yeah, we're back now. August was pretty much our vacation month. I went away. I went to couple weddings. I went to where my husband's from for this for a couple weeks. Like we had a lot of things. Rod went to the Dominican Republic for what felt literally like a month.
00:01:13
Speaker
I did not want to come back. I wanted to stay. I want to live out there. i want to buy something out there and and then live out there because life is better in DR. DR is amazing and I love it. And if you haven't gone, go.
00:01:27
Speaker
Do not go and stay in a resort. Go and travel. Get an Airbnb and travel. Enjoy the country. It's beautiful. The food is amazing. Literally what we call here in North America, oh, farm to table.
00:01:40
Speaker
Their life every day is farm to table. Farm to table, yeah. So food is is just amazing. And let me tell you something. The best thing about it is that dollar stretches beautifully over there.
00:01:51
Speaker
you can Oh, does it? You can live like a king and a queen out there with our salaries. I was wondering. I was like, was it expensive? Oh, expensive. Since you guys did Airbnbs. No. How was it? It beautiful.
00:02:02
Speaker
It was amazing. Amazing. We... ah it was it was It was a dream trip for me, and I loved it because it was a road trip type trip. We landed in the capital, in Santo Domingo, hung out there a few days. Then we went down to this place called La Pelle de Nales, which is near the border of Haiti, and we went to this beautiful beach site where we did glamping all along the water. right you were telling me. i think Alfa was telling me. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:02:30
Speaker
And then they took us to this place called by yeah alaers Bay of the Eagles. ah Just an amazing beach, pristine waters, you know, what you expect from the Caribbean. we Luckily, we didn't have like a big seaweed issue. There is a big seaweed issue that happens in the Caribbean.
00:02:44
Speaker
But where you were, you were probably fine. We lucked out. I mean, there was a hurricane in the air, because I don't know if you guys remember, there was a hurricane sometime like on mid-August in the Caribbean. So the hurricane did affect the waters. The waters were a little bit murky, but it was murky because of just the sand and everything. It wasn't dirty. The water was was pristine.
00:03:02
Speaker
And, you know, we got back. We along we got back to the g glamping site. we did we We stopped along the way stopped on different rivers, took dips in there, back to the capital, hung out of the capital a couple of days, then drove out I drove in DR. I can drive anywhere.
00:03:17
Speaker
i did the um amount I've never done so much driving in my life on a vacation than I did in this vacation. I drove up and down DR. I was a pro. Forget about it. all right i can drive anywhere. Because if you can drive a dominicica in Dominican Republic, let me tell you, ladies and gentlemen, you can drive anywhere.
00:03:32
Speaker
Well, I've always said that about New York. I was like, if you could drive in New York, because New York is pretty crazy, but like DR is over the world New York new york is is crazy, but people follow the rules for a certain extent.
00:03:43
Speaker
In DR, people don't necessarily follow the rules, and they don't stay in their lanes. they don't You don't need a turn signal in in DR because that'll just turn on you. So I did driving.
00:03:55
Speaker
We drove, made stops on the way. Then we went to our main area, which was this place called La Tejrenas, which is in Samana, and that's paradise. That is my paradise. That's my happy place. You know how people say, hey, Mel, what's your what's your paradise? What's your happy place? You'll say it's X, Y, Z. I will say my happy place, my paradise, outside of being with my family, of course.
00:04:14
Speaker
Physical location is Las Terrenas. It is absolutely beautiful. It is what I tell everybody. It is a beach town vibe. The food is amazing. The drinks are great. The people are so nice.
00:04:27
Speaker
Like I could see how people can go over there and just, and just be like, yeah, you know what? I want to come here every year because that's how I feel. Like I can literally see myself going there every year never getting bored because you're just so relaxed. You're so chill. You're the vibes are right.
00:04:42
Speaker
And again, what I told you before, which is the best part, that dollar stretches beautifully. You can go
Superhero Cinema: DC vs Marvel
00:04:47
Speaker
to a restaurant out there and a restaurant out there. I'm going to give the example We went to a restaurant out there.
00:04:54
Speaker
It was, I believe it was like, I think it was nine of us. Everybody had drinks, appetizers, main course. So few people had desserts.
00:05:06
Speaker
Bill came out to $230. Just think about it. Wow. Think about that for a second. For nine people. Nine people and everybody ate. Everybody had drinks.
00:05:16
Speaker
You know, so we had sometite some appetizers, some desserts. And that's what I'm saying. It stretches. And then, of course, not to mention the beaches. The beaches are just, you go for the beaches and the beaches are beautiful.
00:05:28
Speaker
We did have a little bit of a seaweed issue, but it wasn't anything that was like, like oh, I'm not getting in that water. You know what I mean? um Okay. But it was it was magical. And then after that- Yeah, and after that, we hung out there. Then after that, we went to this other place in called ah Santiago slash San Francisco, two different cities.
00:05:46
Speaker
We stayed in Santiago at hotel. Shout out to El Hotel Santiago Hilton. Yo, Mel. If you get a chance, I know it's your business, try to see if you can get a chance to stay at that hotel. That hotel is magnifico, beautiful. Is it just a regular hotel? Regular hotel.
00:06:05
Speaker
i No, it's a regular hotel, but it's beautiful. The service, the people are nice. The hotel service is beautiful. We stayed there, and then we drove to San Francisco, which one of the main parts of our trip was my in-laws. They celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. So shout out to Magali and Rafael, 50 years of marriage. Beautiful. God bless.
00:06:22
Speaker
Wow. We were there as a family and and had that moment with them at the church. They got married in. They renewed their vows. It was beautiful. It was really, really nice. Yeah. and But the overall. I don't think married VR. Holy shit. Yeah.
00:06:33
Speaker
Yeah. The overall, the trip was amazing. I highly recommend VR for people. If you haven't gone, go. It's amazing. It is really wonderful. Like when I just went again in, well, for the first time in like fucking like over 10 years, I felt like the first time it was really great. Like it actually makes me really sad that like,
00:06:51
Speaker
Because if you guys who are listening don't know this, I live in Vancouver, BC, which is the complete other opposite end of where Rodney's at. um The flights to van Vancouver to like Dominican Republic is really bad. Like there's just hardly any flights. It's like I'd i'd have to make like literally like a full on trip of it. Like it has to be like I stop in Florida first and spend time there or or like a couple days and then from there go to DR. Because like direct Vancouver to DR, first of all,
00:07:21
Speaker
to go to like there's barely no flights from i think there's no flights from vancouver to samana so like i could only go to punta cana which means like i'd have to drive pretty far to go to samana yeah so i would have to like really because i really want to go to this like las terenas because ron has mentioned this place to me before and i was like oh i really want to go there but like from here like there's just no way for me to get there so i'd have to like make a trip i or like I'd have to just go to the, I'd have to go to the other side first. I have to like spend some time or go for a day or two so wherever it is, whether it's like New York or whatever. have to like make a stop.
00:07:59
Speaker
And then from there, get my next flight. Because from Vancouver, it's just not... It's going to be too long of a travel day. Exhausting. It was... Yeah. Yeah. But it's um it's on my plans. Because I really would like to take my husband, Rudy, there. He's never been to Dominican Republic. You guys would have such a blast. And I actually recommend ah doing what we did in terms of like, go to La Capital and explore that. I mean, the capital is like, it's it's big. It's like a city.
00:08:25
Speaker
You know? It's just Elisa, eh? Yeah. No, I didn't see Elisane. I have time. We were extremely limited on time because it was just like, we had to be at these places because we were leaving. Who planned it?
00:08:36
Speaker
Alfie planned it. Alfie planned it. Alfie did it on her own. she went she she we we went Everything was Airbnb. when it's The only hotel we stayed in was the one in Santiago, but that was literally just drama because the hotel we were supposed to stay in San Francisco was just, man...
00:08:53
Speaker
lot of drama. That's all I'll say. I'll leave that out. That was a lot of drama. And no none of us felt none of us felt like, yeah, we don't want to stay here. wasn't- Oh, okay. So this is as a conversation for after the pod. Yeah. Yeah, because this was this was something that was, we designated that to someone else, a friend of the family. And that person didn't do their homework on that location.
00:09:15
Speaker
And literally last minute, that day was the only day that we saw that we felt like, super stressed and just pissed off because it was just like, they should have been taken care of after, you know, before we left New York.
00:09:28
Speaker
But, you know, it is what it is. Listen, it worked out. And again, that's how we got to go to the, to the, uh, Hotel de Santiago, the, the, the Hilton. Oh man. No. ah Listen, Hilton is expensive, but my God, I loved it. Getting there that night was was a blessing. like When I saw them and I saw them come to the car and help us out, it felt like, I was like, is this the pearly gates of heaven?
00:09:53
Speaker
Yeah. It was beautiful. it was beautiful. Yeah. But now if you Google at that, that's right. You know, let's, let's plan it. Let's, let's, let's see if we can all go together and, and, and, and have a good time. oh yeah We can set an Airbnb again.
00:10:07
Speaker
I'm, I'm, I'm good. I'm good with, with all inclusives. I don't, I don't want that. I'd rather go and explore because that's how you get to know a country is when you go and explore and you, and you eat like the locals do.
00:10:19
Speaker
You hang out and you sit in the cafes. you You go and get some ice cream at El Lado Wong and just chill out there and just get the vibes. that's how you That's how you get to know a country. you know But early on, I liked doing the resorts thing, but it got boring. And it's just like, I'm um i'm coming here to stay kind of like in prison in this thing. No, I want to...
00:10:36
Speaker
I want to explore. Absolutely. Once you do it, when you do it one time, that's it. You're like, okay, I'm going to do this every time. Yeah. Yeah. and you know And again, the dollar stretches over there. Your money, your money stretches like incredibly. wonder if it's the same for Canadians.
00:10:51
Speaker
I would think so. so I would think so. There's a lot of Canadians in d yarn DR. DR is inundated with like Canadians. like a lot of ah lot of A lot of expats, they they are you know Canadians from Toronto, from Quebec, from Vancouver, where you're at, they move down there and they live down there year-round.
00:11:11
Speaker
Oh, I think you're right. I think I've seen some like YouTubers that are Canadian that like move up that moves out there. yeah that' it is it is really great. but yeah And I think the visas are easy are the visas are easy to get, too. think that's what it is, too. Oh. Yeah.
00:11:25
Speaker
Well, I'm going to try my best to make it back out there. Maybe. Please. Maybe the next year we'll see what we can do. would be really, really nice. andd be really... I really want to take Rudy. i really, really want to take Rudy. Yeah.
00:11:37
Speaker
Yeah. um But anyway, so yeah, that was our summer. So as you can see, we were very busy, but we had wonderful, wonderful summers. ah um ah Yeah. I was in Cabo for a couple of days for a wedding. And then I went to Halifax, Nova Scotia for another wedding. Rudy's friend was getting married. and My friend got married. literally two weeks apart at two weddings back to back, one in Mexico and then one in Canada. So ah Then went all the way back to Prince Edward Island, which is the east coast of Canada, where my husband's from.
00:12:07
Speaker
Spent some time there with his family. And um just it was really, it was really, really nice. And then came back and just kind of took in those last weeks of summer before school. Everyone's back back at it again, everybody. Back at it again. and it's actually crazy to say that we're already.
00:12:24
Speaker
My birthday's in a week. That's mind blowing to think like, that's the 19th. Oh, now a week, and my birthday's in 10 days, which is absolutely crazy. um i also can't believe that I'm closer to 40 than I am to 30.
00:12:37
Speaker
wild rod's like oh my god because it makes him think about himself um it's like it's actually pretty crazy to say out loud that like i still don't feel that i am gonna be 36 years old i just saw the jonas brothers last night so i i was feeling like i was freaking 17 all over again and it was amazing i went with my friend we went to go see them downtown in vancouver Great show.
00:13:05
Speaker
One of their best tours, I have to say. I think it was one of their, I think I liked it more than the last two. Really good. They were like on point, the singing. I said, okay, Nick and Joe Jonas. Like they were singing. That's awesome.
00:13:17
Speaker
So it was really great. And you know, you have the nostalgia factors because they sing all the songs that, you know, I grew up with, with them. And I literally have grown up with them because they're like the same age as me.
00:13:28
Speaker
So it was great. I loved it. Had a wonderful time at the concert. And now we are here today to talk about... Movies. Movies and TV. Movies and tv TV. We're back at it. We're here to talk about the entertainment. Guys, this summer in the movies was, had a lot.
00:13:46
Speaker
We had a lot this summer. It was a very good summer for the movies. Some surprises, some not so much surprises. like i was surprised at a lot of the stuff that came out this year that I liked more than I thought I would.
00:14:01
Speaker
Like, and I'm going to talk about it because I know Rod's going to talk about this movie because it is, I'm pretty sure his favorite movie of the summer, but I've watched, I've watched Superman more than once now. I've watched it like a couple, I've watched it like two or three times now.
00:14:15
Speaker
Um, and I have to say, I think that one was the, I think my, my favorite movie of the summer. I do think, I think it really surprised me. Like I wasn't like, I wasn't expecting it to be bad. I knew that James Gunn was going to do a fantastic job. I like, you know, I like his work.
00:14:33
Speaker
So I wasn't surprised that I really liked it, but I was surprised at how much I liked it even more, especially when you start, you know, you hear other people talk about it and the points start to make sense and,
00:14:45
Speaker
and I don't know. In the end, I was like, oh, okay. I think I really liked this movie. And I have a friend who's a big Marvel person. like She is all about Marvel and she's not a DC person.
00:14:55
Speaker
And I saw Superman and after I saw it, I told her, i was like, hey, I think you should watch Superman. She's like, oh, you watch Superman? You watch DC before Marvel? And I was like, well, I mean, it came out before Fantastic Four. She's like, oh, I'm going to wait for Fantastic Four.
00:15:09
Speaker
And I was like, no, I think you should watch Superman. like I think you'll be Surprised by how much you like it like it was really really good. and She's like okay Okay, I like I'll give it a chance. Yeah, I don't think she's seen it yet But I told her I was like I think you should watch because I think it's gonna let us know Let us know what she thinks when she watches it. Yeah, I was i was incredibly surprised I've i've I It's which is weird i have felt myself like trying to convince people who are more Marvel people to like watch it because they're just like, oh, I don't know. It's Superman. It's the same story. i don't really want to hear of the same thing again. I was like, actually, this one's not the same. Like, it's so different.
00:15:47
Speaker
And I think that's what I liked about it is that it was different. It was different. set up already it was he lives in this world this is what's going on and that's it it wasn't like okay let's find out how he gets his powers okay there's like we're meeting lex luther for the first time know it was just like their enemies are ready everything's established he lives in a world where there are other aliens or whatever we want to call what do we call them in in these meta meta humans i was like i know they're not mutants but was like what are they called meta humans you know they're
00:16:21
Speaker
they're already established. It's not like we're surprised that we're seeing Guy Gardner walking, like, running, walking around, right? Like, it's like, okay, everyone knows who these people are, which I thought was very refreshing.
00:16:31
Speaker
um And I just liked all the characters. I just thought, like, all the actors did such a great job of, like, I really ah liked ah David Cornswift. I really liked him. I thought he was like so good.
00:16:46
Speaker
I just really liked that movie. It was the rewatch. I told you, the rewatch. When you rewatch a movie and you're watching it again... Because the thing is, when you initially watch any movie, you're you're just... your you're You're going through it in a fresh kind of set of tone, and you're just trying to accept and take everything in.
00:17:03
Speaker
you know So it's it's usually that second rewatch is where everything's established. And... I felt the same way. I've seen it twice. um It's actually out on HBO Max today officially.
00:17:16
Speaker
But I'm... um'm Yeah, officially it's out HBO Max today. But um' I am going to purchase it because I want to own it. um but And I want to a physical copy. Physical copy, people. It's just... It's a very, very good movie. And no everything you were saying, I was going like, check, check, check, check check check and check. like Again, James Gunn had a mission.
00:17:40
Speaker
It was to establish, we need to establish this world. We need to establish this Superman. Because that was the point of the movie is we need to establish this world and we need to establish this Superman. We need people to accept this is who Superman's going to be.
00:17:54
Speaker
That guy's Superman, man. David Kornsoff knocked it out the park. The ideology of Superman, this Superman in particular, being this you know nerdy, you know ah middle middle America, kind of you know goody two-shoes type,
00:18:10
Speaker
as both Clark Kent and Superman, you know, he's playful. He's, he's funny. He's gullible, you know, cause even Lois Lane says you trust everybody, you know, like, like it, it did, it did such a phenomenal job with it. I'm going to see it later today too, when I get back home later on afterve um after, after in the evening.
00:18:29
Speaker
But I loved it. And I agree, man. Like, like it's it's my movie of the summer. Like, i for for a bit there, F1 was my movie of the summer because I just loved it. I loved the vibes of that movie.
00:18:40
Speaker
But then it's like the more I kind of think about Superman and I think about what it is. And then I think about, you know, I'm going to throw a show out there. We don't, you know, have to go into discussion. But I've been watching Peacemaker. And Peacemaker is technically kind of like the stepping stone between Superman Man of Steel, sorry, um Superman and and and and the next DC movie or the next direct sequel to this, which I don't know if you heard, they announced it.
00:19:06
Speaker
yeah Man of Tomorrow is the is is kind of like the next kind of. sequel to this movie the next part of the story that they're telling because yes super um supergirl comes out next year but supergirl is kind of its own movie it's not essentially i don't think its i don't think it's directly connected to this there is it it does connect but not directly and it's not don't think it's telling you're gonna tell sorry supergirl's gonna tell her own story in that again same universe and stuff but peacemaker has to me even more... It's even enhanced um Superman even more because in the Peacemaker world, he's in that world. He's in that universe. So it's so cool to see, oh man, this this show takes place in this world. and
00:19:50
Speaker
and And, you know, it's like... it makes you it was going to say, sorry, kind of like how the Penguin is in the bat Batman world. With the Robert Pattinson's Batman world. Just to yeah keep it clear, because that's technically a different universe. That's a whole thing.
00:20:06
Speaker
Yeah, you know it enhances um that movie more. And probably will enhance the second universe. By the way, I recommend i recommend Peacemaker. like If you haven't watched it, watch it. It's two seasons in.
00:20:19
Speaker
um Season two is still going on now. I actually have to see an episode episode premiere last night. um So I don't know if you've heard, James Gunn sent out the reviews for the show to to you know to reviewers, critics, YouTubers.
00:20:33
Speaker
He sent out the first five episodes. He says, I'm only sending out the first five episodes. There's a total of eight in total, but I'm not sending out the last three because he says the last three is borderline. It almost feels like a whole new season, and it has a ton of stuff.
00:20:49
Speaker
that will supposedly directly connect to man of tomorrow so we don't know what's gonna happen who's gonna come out in it i could only speculate on who i think i don't want to say anything cause i don't know people are watching or whatnot but i can only speculate who's gonna come out who in the movie of superman gonna come up what other characters are coming that we have not even been introduced to yet you know what i mean we have a lot of stuff that is happening this world of dc jumping off point and then to kind of bring it back to the, to the, to just movie of the summer.
00:21:19
Speaker
Um, in terms of box office, the number one movie of the summer for box office, just full disclosure, Lilo and Stitch. Lilo and Stitch dominated. It's a billion-dollar movie, um and it took it took Disney to the bank.
00:21:31
Speaker
Number two behind it, a lot of people didn't expect this in terms of, I'm talking about domestically here. Domestically speaking, Superman. Superman was $351 million dollars gross domestically, which is insane.
00:21:45
Speaker
I would have never, Mel, let me tell you something right now. You would have told me yeah Oh, yeah, it's a new Superman and a new DC universe, a universe with DC, the name of DC, the brand DC has been just kind of tarnished over the years because of all the drama with the studios and stuff like that.
00:22:02
Speaker
To tell me that domestically speaking, DC was going to Superman was going to gross more than Jurassic World, freaking Fantastic Four MCU Fantastic Four.
00:22:13
Speaker
How to Train Your Dragon, Mission Impossible, Thunderbolts, it grows more than all those movies. yeah which kind of gives me the inclination and thing. The tide is kind of turning and things are happening in favor of DC, which I, as a DC fan, I'm so happy. Yeah, you're so happy. Because it's just, you know, this world, this world of DC is rich of characters, amazing stories that people should watch and find out about. Like, this is a big one. again, kudos to James Gunn for introducing us to Mr. Terrific.
00:22:48
Speaker
Terrific is and ass an amazing character yeah who's grown into popularity after this movie. Hawkgirl, Nathan Fillion's Guy Gardner, Green Lantern. You know what i mean? You're just you're throwing these things out there and you're just like, oh my God, this is this is amazing.
Upcoming Films and Anticipated Releases
00:23:03
Speaker
And it's grown to the point where people are going into comic book shops and getting getting DC Comics. Yeah. You know, even though DC Comics typically do well, they actually, that's one of the things that they do. They actually do sell comics. But the interest has gone up.
00:23:15
Speaker
Even on HBO Max, they said that the um ah the the the the viewership on on all these DC, different DC shows and movies have gone up. This is all in direct correlation to what Superman did.
00:23:27
Speaker
And again, next year, one of the, big listen, one of the big shows that I think is going to be huge next year that lot of people are kind of not talking about. is Lanterns. Lanterns is going to be massive. um you're hearing it from me You're hearing it from me first, people.
00:23:42
Speaker
It comes out in January. It's about the Green Lantern. it's pretty much like it's It's pretty much like a true detective style, mature show. So it's not like ah it's not for kids. it's you know It's going to be on HBO Max.
00:23:55
Speaker
And Mel, I'm telling you right now, Aaron Pierre is going to be a massive star. God, yeah. what what um thor did to What Thor did to Chris Hemsworth...
00:24:09
Speaker
Jon Stewart's Green Lantern is going to do for Iron Pierre. Iron Pierre is going to blow up in ways that you're just going to be like, oh, that's Iron Pierre. You're just going know him. I mean, you can see him. you know he's's a He's a tall, good-looking dude. He's gorgeous. Yeah, so you know but but this this show is going to catapult him into stardom.
00:24:27
Speaker
Then you got Supergirl, which James Gunn is saying he thinks that's his favorite thing that dc DCU is has done so far. He's seen Is he directing that? No, somebody else. He's not directing that.
00:24:40
Speaker
He said that's the best thing DC's done. He's super excited for that. He said that that movie's phenomenal. It's apparently a lot of people that within the studio that have seen it have all just nothing but praise. And I know, granted, people say, oh, they're not going to bash it.
00:24:52
Speaker
Fact of the matter is... One thing that I could tell already with James Gunn is if something's not going to work, you're not going to hear about it. Because he's already like, he's already like, you know, put the kibosh on a lot of projects that he had initially set. He's closed off already he's like you know, it's not working for us.
00:25:08
Speaker
But apparently, intents purposes, they said that this movie is phenomenal. And then you got Man of Tomorrow, which is coming out in 2020. 2027 by the way. 2027, we got Man of Tomorrow. Woo! twenty twenty seven oh yeah tomorrow what Man of Tomorrow, Avengers, we have Spider-Man, and then we have The Batman Part 2.
00:25:27
Speaker
So let me tell you something. 2027, save your money. Do what you got to do because we're going to be in the theaters heavy, heavy, heavy that year. It'll be like this year.
00:25:38
Speaker
It'll be like this year, but i think heavy yeah I think it'll be more. And i am hoping I am hoping, and I'm saying this willingly, I am hoping that Marvel gets their shit together. and And when I say Marvel, I'm talking about Avengers. I think Spider-Man is going to be fine because spiderman Spider-Man is Spider-Man and Spider-Man you know always makes bank and and this Spider-Man is like loaded with a lot of stuff.
00:26:03
Speaker
So I think it'll be fine. Avengers, i'm um' um I'm a little worried about, which is crazy to say. I'm um so confused because the one that comes out in 2027 that... is that Secret Wars.
00:26:16
Speaker
That's the second one, right? That's the second one. The first one comes out in 2026. Yeah. 2026? What? They've moved in so many days, I can't remember, so much now, I can't remember when it's actually coming out. I don't even know either. I want to say it's December.
00:26:28
Speaker
That's what I was thinking. I was like, i think they- Because there is no Avatar next year, because Avatar comes out this year, so I'm assuming it's December, 2026. yeah So yeah, I think it's December. um um They wrapped on that project, though. don't know if you heard. They wrapped on it on on Doomsday. On Avengers?
00:26:43
Speaker
Yeah, they wrapped on it already. yeah No, I don't know, man. i'm um Well, this, okay, this, okay, so this is, you know how, okay, I just want, you kind of mentioned this before we recorded, and I kind of want to talk about it really quick, about Fantastic Four, right? So that was another movie of, that came out this summer, and Rodney was expressing to me that he feels like he hasn't heard pretty much anyone talk about Fantastic Four. And granted, um ah Rodney and I, we haven't even done ah ah a review of it because it came out in the summertime and we were off and we just didn't have time. So we're and at this point, we're not go to be really doing a review about it. But, you know, it is one of those movies where I left the theater being like, oh, I liked it. thought it was really good. But like, was it something that I was like, oh,
00:27:29
Speaker
Got to get back there, right? You know, like, it still was a little bit kind of like, okay. I really liked it. I didn't have any issues with it, but... I didn't have issues with it either. But maybe, like, you know how you were saying, like, I feel like people are talking more about Superman and they are talking about Fantastic Four. And I'm like, maybe it's because Superman... One, it was very, very, very good. and I think it was better than Fantastic Four.
00:27:55
Speaker
But also, there's just so much... going on around it, right? We have James Gunn talking about the man of tomorrow. We already have a sequel like date. We already have like, they're taught there's all these shows that are connecting. There's so much that is surrounding it. So it's making probably our feeds that we read, just pull like, we' they're just pushing out much more of the Superman content, which is what what we're seeing.
00:28:19
Speaker
But I also think it's because Fantastic Four is in the MCU that already has kind of a bit of a negative effect. bubble going on around it right now because there's so much issues with this Avengers doomsday there's so much talk about like people not sure and you know how you literally just said you're like I don't know right so we're already kind of like Fantastic Four was like oh we want it to be good because this needs to set up Avengers right now do we feel like it did
00:28:51
Speaker
You know, not doing like reviews wise. Like, did we feel like it really set it up? Because like, i I mean, the only thing we got really was the whole like doing there with Franklin, right? That was like, you know, sorry, spoiler alert if you haven't seen Fantastic Four, right? It's like- At this point, too bad well too bad. At this point, too bad. Exactly. Like, you know, you see Robert Downey Jr. ah she No, they said- It was him.
00:29:16
Speaker
They said it was him. And Mel, I'm sorry, Mel. Mel, I am sorry. Fuck, I'm sorry. This... You have Robert Downey Jr. on set doing this, and you don't show him?
00:29:29
Speaker
What the fuck? Yeah. Let me tell something. You want to make that movie memorable? You show Robert Downey, you're taking off the thing and you see his face. Just do that little. Like, I know this is an audio podcast, but just literally have him reach up with his, with famous, with the famous glove and, and, and take the mask and look at the camera. And I say, cut to black.
00:29:48
Speaker
Yeah. And I guarantee you that everybody in the theater would be clapping like crazy. Cause it'd be like, finally we get something, but no, we don't get anything. I'm sorry, Mel. This, I don't know.
00:29:59
Speaker
Hey, I, what the hell? happened to Kevin Feige? this sub did an Did they do... this despite Did the Space Jam aliens come and take Kevin Feige's soul?
00:30:11
Speaker
Is this is what this what happened? Because what is going on? That was literally like in basketball when they do an alley-oop and they throw the ball and you dunk it. That's like they threw the alley-oop and there was no player there to catch the dunker.
00:30:24
Speaker
I'm like, what are we doing? They should have. I mean, it was kind of like when the first time ever they showed Thanos, right? Yes. Like, that was still like, oh, shit. The blueprint was there, Mel. The blueprint was there. It was there. And the fact that they were just like, you did.
00:30:39
Speaker
I thought we were going to see him. Like, I thought we going to see more. And the fact that they didn't was still like, Oh, okay. So they're still keeping this under wraps.
00:30:50
Speaker
Why? Supposedly that, that scene was even, to i think I, I don't know. It was directed by the Russos. Yeah. you made it tell me the Russos did this shit and you didn't.
00:31:01
Speaker
Oh my God, dude. What are we doing, bro? What are we doing? Yeah. Like this is, and and again, Mel, don't mean to cut you off, but this is my issue right now with Marvel. Marvel is,
00:31:13
Speaker
i and I'm saying i'm saying this as a fat guy. Marvel got too fat. Marvel is sitting on this pedestal and they look down on everybody and they're like we're Marvel, so we can do whatever the hell we want and y'all gonna like it.
00:31:27
Speaker
Guess what, Marvel? Not anymore. Wake the hell up. Look at the numbers. And not even the numbers, because box offices, boxes, after the pandemic, box offices are very hit or miss.
00:31:38
Speaker
Okay? But... Look at the engagement. Like, no one's talking about the movies. No one. Like, I hear no one talking about... No one's talking about Thunderbolts. No one's talking about Fantastic Four.
00:31:53
Speaker
They're not talking about these movies. yeah No one's excited. like like Like, again, I'll tell you, the the most excitement I heard about anything Marvel related was literally behind the scenes footage of of of of of um Tom Holland in London where he was dressed up as Spider-Man and they were anding he was on a thing. And the new suit.
00:32:11
Speaker
And the new suit and everybody was cheering him and stuff. That's the only thing I seen that gets like, listen, if I'm Tom Holland right now, I'm going down to Sony and I'm going to and i'm going ah i'm going to Bob Iger's office.
00:32:21
Speaker
Hey guys, you know what you're paying Robert Downey Jr.? I need y'all to pay that to me. Because I'm the only one keeping this shit going. I'm lit. I am telling you right now. Yo, if Toby... I keep saying Toby. If Tom Holland's agent, if you're... you need This is when you go to renegotiate.
00:32:39
Speaker
Right now. Because he's the only one keeping it going. I'm telling you. He's the guy. He's the guy. There is nobody else. There is nobody else. And then we're hearing rumors like, oh, have you seen, ah what's his face? Chris Evans.
00:32:53
Speaker
Chris Evans. Oh, he's looking jacked. And i'm just I'm just like, I'm like, i'm like what what was the point of Endgame and Infinity War? Like, do you guys, like, what is the point of those movies?
00:33:07
Speaker
So you're bringing back Robert Downey Jr. as Doom. There's rumors of, oh yeah, he's jacked. He might be coming back as Captain America. What was the point of those movies? Those movies are meaningless now.
00:33:18
Speaker
Some people are saying he's like the bad Captain America. care. I don't care. don't give a damn. i don't give it damn there There's got to be to these things, man. like you like Come on, dude.
00:33:30
Speaker
you're You're making these deaths and these movies meaningless. You already did it to Logan. You fucked up Logan because, oh, we got to bring Wolverine and put him with Deadpool. Listen, Deadpool and thatpo move in the movie, I enjoyed it last year. It was fun. But you know what that was?
00:33:46
Speaker
That was a... that was I couldn't quit. That is like going out and having a hell of a good time at night. like You go out on the club and everything goes right for You you get in the club. You hook with that guy or girl that you want to, the drinks are free, the food is great. Then you wake up the next day and be like, oh man, that was a hell of a night.
00:34:02
Speaker
That's what to me, Deadpool and Wolverine is that to me. Because it's like it was literally like a one night stand. That's what that movie was. There was a great moment, but again, it's movie where it's just like, oh, okay. like what What did I get from that?
00:34:15
Speaker
Yeah, I got a moment. I got this and that, but what what are we doing? And then you hear, oh yeah, Ryan Reynolds says he might come back for another Deadpool. like, I don't care. you that like Like you have to, it's too much fluff and no substance.
00:34:30
Speaker
And that's why I said, Tom Holland is the only one keeping that shit going right now. Like the amount of excitement and engagement I saw, i was like, oh shit, like this movie. I was like, Spider-Man might make a billion. Spider-Man might be the one that'll make a billion because of the engagement and the excitement.
00:34:45
Speaker
Yo, know people were flipping the hell out, like retweeting and reposting reassing and And rightly so. it was it was It looked really, really cool. But then you got Doom. I mean, you got Avengers Doomsday, which a switch should be getting just massive amounts of engagement. i mean, it's an Avengers movie.
00:35:01
Speaker
And I'm i'm Mel. I don't hear anything. I don't hear anyone excited. I don't hear... I'm i'm just not... maybe Maybe when the trailer drops, it'll quote-unquote break the internet or whatever. I expect it to. It's a trailer. It'll get everybody excited. Of course. Of course. But it's just one of those things. just like i feel like...
00:35:19
Speaker
I feel like people should already be excited now. you know this is this was This is a event. Adventures on its own is its own franchise. You know what I mean? And i'm just i'm not I'm not getting it.
00:35:30
Speaker
I'm not receiving it. I'm not getting it from from from from content creators. I'm not getting it from fans online. like i'm not I'm not getting it. And it's concerning as a person who loves games. comic book movies in general, that, you know, your big home run hitter is not hitting home runs. It's striking out more than hitting home runs. Oof.
00:35:48
Speaker
Yeah. i hate to say that, but it's a fact. bad Yeah. No, no, no. You're, I mean, yeah, I don't disagree with what you're saying. um Yeah. It's, it is, it is really interesting. you know you just mentioned, you know, Thunderbolts and you mentioned, you know, Fantastic Four and like nobody talking about these movies.
00:36:07
Speaker
And, Yeah, it is true. I actually liked Thunderbolts. And this is the thing. It's not that I don't like these movies.
00:36:18
Speaker
No, they're good. I'm just trying to understand... yeah like try and understand like You know, when people, you know, some people have podcasts where they like fix movies. Right. And I'm trying think. I hate that, by the way. I hate that. I don't, I don't like that. I've never seen those kind of things. I've seen them. I've seen them. And they're meant to, honestly, they're meant, they're meant more to be comedic and fun.
00:36:40
Speaker
But I hate that because I feel like, you know, you're shitting on, you're you're shitting on the director who did this movie and the crew that worked on it. Listen, we could be critical about our movies. We could, we could say things about the movies. But I'm not going to be like, oh, yeah, I would do a better job if I do this and that. Listen, if you were that good at it, you'd be working at the studio right now. So so let's let's let's, you know, put the kibosh on that.
00:37:00
Speaker
You know what I mean? don't yeah Yeah, that's true. Yeah, yeah. I guess what I'm just saying is it's like I'm trying to figure out for me as an audience member, like, what is it that's going to make me feel like this one was, like they hit it, right? Because like I go into these movies and and I think I had this conversation with you last time as well, where I i just don't know if it's just like I'm just tired.
00:37:23
Speaker
i It could be. Like, I'm just like trying to figure out, like I leave these Marvel movies and I'm like, I liked it, but I'm not like hyped for anything. And I don't know if it's because I'm just tired.
00:37:36
Speaker
tired of this sort of media. I'm just tired of like consuming kind of the same thing. Like I'm tired of it not being as good. Like I just, I haven't put my like nose on and like what it is that fantastic for. Right. And I'm like, Oh, that was great. I really enjoyed it.
00:37:54
Speaker
But I don't, I'm not, I haven't felt myself leaving being like, Oh man, I really want to watch that again. You know, and and and that's the feeling I always had, you know, when I in, you know in the 2000s, when movies came out and you went to the movie theater and it was like this whole event. And after I watched it, it was so good that I was like, oh, man, I can't wait to buy this on DVD. I can't wait to rewatch it. Kind of like, you know.
00:38:18
Speaker
Lord the Rings, right? you I watched that movie and I'd be like, oh my God, I can't wait to watch it again. i watched it at home on tape like a million times, like The Fellowship of the Ring after that. was on DVD, right? i you know You watch these movies and I'm trying to understand with like, specifically with Marvel, like what is it that's missing that's making me feel like I don't know if i really need to see that again.
00:38:42
Speaker
Like, what? like Like, the acting's great. Like, I can't... Like, everyone Fantastic Four was great. I really liked his performance. Like, I really enjoyed it. There was things in that movie that I loved.
00:38:53
Speaker
Like, there was... Like, I loved, like, the powerful image of... One of the most powerful images, I think, of the year that I've seen so far in movies is from Fantastic Four. And it's seeing Sue Storm...
00:39:03
Speaker
pregnant fighting like I think that that there's something there that's a beautiful image just yeah this woman black people we like her with with child and and and she's fighting you know like I like seeing that you know what i mean I liked even the scenes of Reed Richards um you know kind of talking talking telling the baby like you know You know, you're expected, you know, you're you're expected to be this, this and this, but I love you for who you are. And it was such a genuine, warm moment. that there's The movie has a lot of really warm moments, but then it's just there's something about the movie that it felt empty.
00:39:37
Speaker
Like it felt like. Like the, how do I look? It's kind of like those, you know how you see those fake wedding cakes that they have? They're made out of styrofoam. I'm like, man, they look so good. Like my mouth waters. And then when you you try to go and get and you grab and it's just styrofoam, you're just like, wait, what?
00:39:51
Speaker
What the hell? Yeah. Like, I think that that's how this movie kind of was, where it's just like the window dressing was beautiful. There's some substance in there, but I don't know. I felt like there was things missing. Like I felt like, I honestly felt like that movie needed like another maybe thing 20 minutes more of fleshing out in certain areas.
00:40:14
Speaker
You know what I mean? Like there was just certain things there. Again, visually speaking, it looked great. You know? Yeah. Which, which which again, is saying a lot because lately we haven't Lately, when it comes to special effects, some special effects is hit or miss as well.
00:40:27
Speaker
But this one had beautiful special effects. you know Silver Surfer, she looked amazing. Galactus looked amazing. You know, my one of my issues with Galactus, can I be honest with you here, is...
00:40:39
Speaker
i i I was not impressed with the with the with the last half of the movie compared to the middle half. like I wish they actually the movie could flip it around.
00:40:50
Speaker
I liked the whole Galactus in space. To me, he felt more menacing in space than he did in the city. And granted, I love how he looked in the city because, again, how I always talk about when it comes to scale, he looked massive.
00:41:04
Speaker
But he didn't he didn't come off as intimidating to me. Like, it was just kind of like him walking through the buildings. like Like, when you're a massive creature like that, gravity works differently against you. Like, you should be demolishing buildings left and right.
00:41:16
Speaker
And I didn't get a lot of that, which I'm like, I'm like, what? Like, We've all seen Godzillas and stuff. was going say Godzilla, yeah. We've seen Pacific Rim. We know how this shit should work. like building Buildings and then the weight of just... Underneath should just crumble.
00:41:33
Speaker
Yeah. but it was this I don't know. like it was I wish they would have flipped it around. I think it would have been better the other way around. But it is what it is. the the you know The director, he know he he had a plan and there's obvious reasons for what he did.
00:41:45
Speaker
But regardless of the fact, though... The movie, Fantastic Four, had some things in it. And again, I'm not saying it's a bad movie. It's not a bad It's not bad And maybe when I see it again, maybe when I see it I'll like, you know what? It's a lot better than I remember. you know But again, and on an initial viewing, I just, I don't know. just, nothing is jumping out at me as much as I think it should. And again, just to kind of close off on this Marvel thing on my end.
00:42:10
Speaker
I think Marvel needs to realize that, you know, we're Marvel. We're MCU. We've been doing this for 10 plus years. We have an established fan base. But and to answer your question, which I think is the bigger question of all is, has our core audience outgrown us?
00:42:27
Speaker
Remember, this this thing started in 2008 with Iron Man 1. OK, so you're telling me that there's kids that were watching these movies. They were what, eight years old.
00:42:40
Speaker
2018, when Infinity War came out, of or 2019, these kids became 18, 19 years old. yeah you know You're jumping People grow up. Yeah. People grow up.
00:42:51
Speaker
Their tastes change. I know, okay? I'm 40-plus- And there's a lot of things that I love that I still love from back then, but there's a lot of things that I don't love anymore. Because guess what? As you grow up, as you get older, as life jades you, you lose interest in things.
00:43:08
Speaker
So that feeling that you're feeling, maybe it's just a sign of you growing up and and maybe maybe you're just like, you know what? I enjoyed this. I had fun with it. It gave me the joy I needed for the time I needed it. Maybe it's maybe it's just a sign of I'm just not into it anymore.
00:43:22
Speaker
And that okay. K because you're not the only one. There's a lot of people that kind of, as you grow up and you get older, you just, you change. say You change your style of music, your style of clothes.
00:43:35
Speaker
So hell your taste habits change. Things change. So as much as you could say, oh man, I love comic book movies and listen, that that's not always going to be the case. You know what I mean? Like I could say that now, but who's to say in five years from now, i'm just kind of like you know what?
00:43:49
Speaker
I'm good. I got what I needed from these movies. Uh, Yeah. umm I'm onto something else now. I like this. That's how it is for a lot of people, for a majority of people.
00:44:00
Speaker
So I think Marvel needs to realize, i think Marvel needs to realize, like Pixar, like a lot of stuff within Disney, that your audience grows up and gets older and they have other things in their lives that are happening that...
00:44:15
Speaker
is taking control. So I feel like Marvel, Kevin Feige, they need to kind of look in the mirror and reestablish themselves as a studio and what their messaging is. Because I think it's also about messaging. And and to bring it back to Superman, and I'll quiet down after this, one of the main things that I think Superman did better than any movie this year was messaging.
00:44:39
Speaker
It was a movie talking about hope. And I think I sent you something over the summer about this where Seth MacFarlane said, and it was beautiful. He said, and when he said it, immediately thought about Superman.
00:44:52
Speaker
He said, um what's happening now in society is that we've gotten people used to watching movies and shows talking about like you know, dark and gritty subject matter. Yeah, i remember now, yeah. You know, like kind of like post-apocalyptic or dystopian. And this is what people are consuming. So that kind of takes over the the mythos and the and the and the and the and the just society in general. It grabs a hold of them.
00:45:21
Speaker
Believe it or not, people absorb that in. And he's like, when I was growing up, we had shows talking about hope and and good and and and positivity. And he's like, nowadays, we don't really get that.
00:45:32
Speaker
And I was like, holy shit, he nailed it. And I think about Superman. Superman's messaging, the whole messaging behind Superman is hope. It's about acceptance, where you see at the end of the movie, and he gives that message about, you know, I wake up every day, and i put one foot and behind the other, and and, you know, I do it because it's good.
00:45:51
Speaker
And then you're listening to this, and it hit I got the chills thinking about it. It's like, this is Superman saying this. This is the super being of super being saying this, where he's just, I'm just trying to do good.
00:46:02
Speaker
And it's just like, that's it. It's messaging. It is literally messaging. And that's what we need more of. I think i think i think going forward, we need more stuff pushing messaging of positivity and hope, especially in this world.
00:46:16
Speaker
Yeah. No. Yeah, I agree. i agree. And it's actually funny that you say that. that's This is interesting. Sorry, because i I want to move on from the subject, but it just they made me think about it. Because you talk about the hope thing. And I remember when they dropped that Fantastic Four trailer. Remember?
00:46:32
Speaker
It was very hopeful. And we're like, oh, my God. like I liked this. You know, Pedro Pascal was, like, leading the thing. And it was like, you know, we're here to protect you. We will. Right? Like, it was, like, that hope.
00:46:43
Speaker
But then in the movie, you're like, did you? It almost felt hopeful. like It felt empty. like Did we feel hopeful at the end? It felt... You know what? it now It's not that we felt... Technically, they won. they They saved the day.
00:46:57
Speaker
i even forgot how the movie ended. It felt... Can I say that? It felt too easy. like It felt like it was just like, okay, um you know everything's wrapped up in a silver ball.
00:47:10
Speaker
At the end. It felt too easy. Like it just felt, it felt like it kind of happened. I mean, technically the uniform died. remember Yeah. Yeah. She died. it and And, and, and I thought that was cool. I thought that was cool that it was, that it was a Franklin that, that, that saved her essentially, you know? Yeah. I thought that was really cute and and beautiful, but I don't know. Like it just, it, it's a but she died.
00:47:35
Speaker
It's Marvel. Nobody dies.
00:47:39
Speaker
and okay okay okay This is what I felt like I was upset because all I kept thinking about was the damn fucking chairs. right Because you knew all of these people were surviving all these movies.
00:47:51
Speaker
If I didn't see that, I could have easily been like... oh, maybe, maybe she's, maybe she died. Like, I mean, I know this is like the first movie. There's no way that they would kill off such a major character. But like, if I didn't see that chair that I knew she was going to be in a Doomsday, I would have been more like on the edge of my seat.
00:48:11
Speaker
But because I knew she was in this movie, I was like, well, I know she's going to die. She's going to wake up in like any time now. Like, there's no way this character's dying because she's in Doomsday.
00:48:21
Speaker
Um, So same with like Thunderbolts, right? You knew all these characters were going to make it, right? I'm like, okay, well, there's no, what's the word? The stakes. The stakes are. Yeah, there's no stakes because you're like, oh, these people, they've announced everyone is going to be in Doomsday. So I know none of these people are dying.
00:48:42
Speaker
So anyway. I'm telling you, I'm telling you, I know, know, I'm telling you, just ended on this. I'm telling you. i can I can see it now. I think there's a calendar in Kevin Feige's office.
00:48:52
Speaker
You know how go you cross things? He's literally crossing out days until he can start the X-Men universe. he just he's He's so to start this universe. universe he's like He's just like, yo, please, I just want to be done with this shit.
00:49:06
Speaker
like i need me let me Let me just jump. If he can hit a button and just jump into the X-Men and just start over clean, he will do it. I really think that's what he wants to do. I think he's fucking done and with the Avengers kind of side of it. He's done.
00:49:20
Speaker
He's cooked with that. He's like, um I don't want to do anything more. I don't want to see any of these actors, any of these characters again. I'm strictly about... let's Let's start off with the new X-Men and let's build off this mutant universe.
00:49:31
Speaker
And I think that's when... I actually think that's when we're going to get Marvel cooking again fully, fully, is when we start that off. I think that's going to amazing. You know, like you might be right. I think... It's special. I think it might be...
00:49:42
Speaker
Also, like, the you know, the whole thing about, like, we're grown up. i think I think I might just feel like I'm just over the Avengers thing. I'm like, because to me, in my mind, it ended with Endgame.
00:49:54
Speaker
Like, to me, that's when that ended. So the fact that we're... still here and we're still talking and we're still saying the word Avengers. The fact that we're still have Robert Downey Jr. The fact that we still might have Chris Evans, right? These people who in our minds, I'm like, no, it ended.
00:50:12
Speaker
Endgame was the last time I was supposed to see any of you fuckers. Like, why? Why are we still here? Like, why am I still seeing Paul Rudd as Ant-Man? Like that should have ended. Get ready for Scarlett Johansson to come back as Black Widow.
00:50:26
Speaker
You know what? I really hope that that she didn't do it. i i mean i I mean, they probably gave her a lot of zeros on that check, but I hope she was like, no, I actually just want to be done. like i I really, really hope that I never see her again because it really will be just so...
00:50:47
Speaker
Annoying. And granted, I know like you're watching the movie, right? She comes out. Chris Evans comes out. All these people we know come out. People are still going to be like, ah! You're going to get the cheery. You're going to excitement. Because it's that initial moment. You're going be like, fuck.
00:51:01
Speaker
Yeah, it's that initial moment. You're going to cheer, of course. But then you're just going to be like, what's the point? i can't like For me, it's like I can't watch a movie again because I feel like... like you know what? more Again, I watch Infinity War all the time. like When it's on, I watch it.
00:51:15
Speaker
Endgame, I don't, honestly, when Endgame is on, I'm kind of like, oh. Infinity War, though, I'll watch that shit all. I fucking love it. Infinity War is dead-ass one of the best comic book movies ever.
00:51:26
Speaker
i As a DC guy, I will say it. I love Infinity War. The moments in that movie, just every, I love that movie. I love it, love it, love it.
00:51:38
Speaker
Endgame is just. I still like Endgame. No, Endgame is good. I know it has its flaws. and know I think Infinity War is miles better. No, no, Infinity War is much better.
00:51:52
Speaker
But I actually like watching them back to back. Like generally what I do is like if I'm ever in the mood to be like I want to see the culmination of that again, i will watch an Infinity War the first day and then the second I will watch Endgame to like complete it.
00:52:06
Speaker
i agree. And I'm happy that way. um Yeah, but you're right. I don't normally put on end game before i I have to put infinity war on first before I watch end game. I can't just like watch end game. Like it's not the one that I would gravitate towards.
00:52:20
Speaker
Like, I just think that that end game end game. The only the only reason end game happened is because a rat happened to go on the dashboard and hit a button. I know. I know. I know. That's I know you hate that. I know it But i just I just, you know, I love the coming together, that the scene that like broke the theater, right? Like it's it's, that scene is still like, that is one of the best comic movie moments of all time, for sure. Like having all those characters come back in that way and Captain America getting the hammer. Like, you know, like that stuff really does still like make me feel things. It's a very good moment.
00:52:54
Speaker
But you know what's a better moment? Thor coming down with Groot. Oh! I mean... Nothing. Nothing. Nothing in Endgame. Nothing in Endgame is better than that moment.
00:53:07
Speaker
That moment right there to me is just like... Like, again, that moment in there to me is like, I think about Thor and I'm like, you don't need anybody. You can take everybody else out on your... Like, yo, I feel like Thor... Like, Chris Hesworth is another one. After that moment, Chris Hesworth should have gone to Kevin Feige's door like...
00:53:26
Speaker
Hey, hi. um What you're paying this guy, and need you to throw it in my direction. Yeah. Because we just established something major here, that I'm the motherfucker.
00:53:36
Speaker
I'm the MVP of shit. Yeah. Yeah. he's He is very powerful. And I do think sometimes they kind of underutilized this. They dumbed him down. They did a lot of things that I didn't like. I didn't like it. They did make him really dumb in that Oh, my God. Love and Thunder is just...
00:53:53
Speaker
Like, I don't, like, at that point, I wonder, i like i wonder like like, again, what you said, like, I wonder how many zeros were in that check for him to be like, okay, yeah, I want to do this. This sounds like a great idea. Bro, the way you came off in Infinity War, and then I didn't like what they did in Endgame.
00:54:08
Speaker
did not like that. I'm not fan of that. hated that. That's huge trap you had that they made him fat. I hated that. They made him fat, and they made him, like, this. Depressed. I didn't like that. I feel like there's other ways they could have gone about it as opposed to doing that i then it was pretty But then it was really cool, though, when he did kind of like he looked like the Viking with the because usually vike Vikings are like big. Yeah.
00:54:32
Speaker
No, no, I get that. I like I get that. But I don't know. i just. But then him then they made him lose all the weight in Love and Thunder and they made him. back Yeah, it's like normal self. But exactly.
00:54:43
Speaker
But that movie was really bad. I never, ever want to see that again. Which is sad because Christian Bale was in that and he was so good. was amazing in He was the best part of the movie. He was the best. And it's like you kind of like just want to forget that that movie. They wasted talent in that. Wasted. Wasted him.
00:54:58
Speaker
So. You know who would have made a great doom? you know who would have made a great doom? Christian Bale would have made a great duel. Yeah, that's true. I don't know what happened. They messed up there. But maybe I just, like ah I mean, honestly, I don't know what the end game was. hu I don't know what the end game with with that all that was. like At what point did they know that they wanted to make Doomsday? At what point did they know that they wanted to make Robert Downey Jr. Doom? Because remember, we had all the thing with the Jonathan Majors happen. you know like I feel like there has been a big change. Yeah.
00:55:31
Speaker
So I don't know. Anyway, we we have to move on because we can literally talk about this for another hour because I so like just now i'm like, oh, but what about i'm like, no, we got to move on. We have to talk about other things. Okay. So this was the end of the summer. So we have to talk about now what we feel or what we're looking forward to for the rest of the year. Right. We've got how many more months, ah actual ruin its three more months until the end of the year.
00:55:55
Speaker
Which is wild. I can't believe I'm saying that we are already only have three more months left of this year. That's baffling to me. I don't know. and Do you want to go first? you want to let us know what you're looking forward to this for the rest of the year?
00:56:11
Speaker
I'm looking through a list here, and and it's it's kind of hard for me to pinpoint things. cause There's so many things coming out. um like well next In a few weeks, we have Tron Aries coming out. and I don't know if you guys know. I love Tron Legacy. i love I loved it.
00:56:25
Speaker
um This movie, Tron Aries, I'm excited about. I'm a little nervous because there's certain things that I'm kind of like, I don't know. You know what I mean? There's things that I wish they could have continued telling the story of Tron Legacy that seems to be kind of like a very...
00:56:37
Speaker
rapid departure from that movie. But I think in the movie, they're going to explain. Yeah, I think in the movie, they're going to explain why. I believe what it is, is that there's different grids. And I think the legacy grid is a whole other grid. And then the Aries grid is a different grid. So it's almost like a multiverse thing, but not really, but not really.
00:56:57
Speaker
So I think that's what it is. I think that's what it is. But I'm excited for that. I want to definitely go see that in a in a few weeks. um I am very, very excited for a movie that's coming out on Netflix.
00:57:10
Speaker
But I do want to try to find in theaters. And that's a movie called Frankenstein. Directed by ah the goat Guillermo del Toro. um ah With ah Oscar Isaac, who's awesome. the guy He's the man.
00:57:24
Speaker
Fantastic. he's um he's He's playing Dr. Frankenstein while Jacob Elordi is playing the monster. So it's going to be interesting to see how that is. and Guillermo del Toro, if you know, you know the man loves his monsters. He has a great, great, massive respect for monster movies and the history of that and what that means. And his mind...
00:57:45
Speaker
with this with this with these characters, it's gonna be something beautiful to watch. So I'm excited, super excited for Frankenstein. And it's coming out around Halloween, which is even more perfect.
00:57:56
Speaker
Listen, we need to normalize more kind of movies like this, monster movies in October, especially of the classic monsters, your Frankenstein, your Wolfman. Please, please, please, please remake The Mummy. I want a Mummy remake. Did you see that cool idea someone had?
00:58:12
Speaker
They actually had, I think it was David Korn. They said they would love to have a ah um yeah a movie. yeah ah Yeah, right. With David Korn. He's related to Brendan Fraser. And they do look a little similar. They do look similar. So you bring Brendan Fraser back and you, oh man, that would honestly, that would make money.
00:58:28
Speaker
That would make some money in the box office. That's true. So yeah, normalize that. um Let me see where else here. um um um I'm kind of yeah skimming through here.
00:58:39
Speaker
Obviously, when we get to... Oh, November. So in November, we have this one movie called Predator Badlands. Wait, let me just say real quick here, going off a little side tension.
00:58:50
Speaker
Okay. Disney has done Star Wars dirty. Star Wars is just, i don't know where Star Wars is right now. Marvel is, we know we just talked about Marvel.
00:59:01
Speaker
And Pixar is, oh my God. One thing Disney has done very, very well in the series that has had resurgence are two. That's Predator and that's Alien. Right now on Hulu, there's a show called Alien Earth.
00:59:16
Speaker
Watch it. It is a fantastic. The Predator movies have come back really strong. few years ago, there's this movie called Prey, which is like a Predator movie that takes place ah in the time of when the indigenous cultures were here in North America and the Predator lands here.
00:59:31
Speaker
Fantastic movie. our Absolutely phenomenal. I've heard it's really good. Over the summer, they dropped an animated movie called Predator Killer of Killers. It's on Hulu. Amazing.
00:59:42
Speaker
Watch it. And then here we have Predator Badlands. Right now, Disney is running on all cylinders. didn't that was Disney. Yeah, it's owned by Century Studios. Oh, okay. They're running on full cylinders with these IPs, and they're awesome. I'm very excited to see that movie. think that's going to be real, real good.
01:00:01
Speaker
oh Quick quick ah thing, too. In October, going back to it, The Rock has the Smashing Machine coming out A lot of people are saying he might get an Oscar nomination out of it. And looking at the movie, he see let me tell you something.
01:00:14
Speaker
It's the most un-rock-like performance I have ever seen from him. So circle that one. That one I think is going to be really, really good. I'm glad you brought that up because I've been wanting to talk to you about that, about if you were going to be watching it. Because, I mean, I think he has said, know, now that he's been doing the press for this movie, that he's like ready to like.
01:00:33
Speaker
taking I think taking acting a little bit more serious about, yeah you know, because he has been very much pigeonholed until that, you know, the what we yeah see of him, right? And I remember seeing this trailer and being like, oh shit, like this is like, this is serious stuff.
01:00:48
Speaker
But I don't know if you've seen Ironclaw, but that movie was, was, what's it called? not What's the word?
01:01:00
Speaker
They didn't didn't pull it. Oh my God, what's the word? When they don't get nominated. Snubbed. They got snubbed, yeah. Snubbed. A lot of people have been saying if Zac Efron did not get a nomination...
01:01:15
Speaker
Yeah. You know what it is? Have you seen the Iron Call? Have seen the Iron Call? I have not seen it. i have not seen I heard it's a very hard watch. I mean, it's it is. You have to be, like, in the right mindset. heard it's a very hard watch. But it is very hard. It's very sad.
01:01:27
Speaker
But that performance, Zac Efron was... I mean, everywhere that movie. have a theory, I have a theory, though. I think it's... And i and i don't want I hate to say this because I don't want to poo-poo Efron because if he did a great job, he did a great job, which everybody says he did.
01:01:42
Speaker
I think it's because it is Zac Efron. I think a lot of people probably saw the name as Zac Efron and they just they couldn't take it seriously. Even though the performances were probably great. You're going to take The Rock seriously? I think with The Rock is different because I think, well, no, I think The Rock different Rock is a star.
01:01:57
Speaker
You know, Zac Efron is not a star at the level of
Star Power and Movie Expectations
01:02:00
Speaker
The Rock. The Rock will bring people in. He's a name. He's a brand. Zac Efron isn't a brand. He's not, Mel. i know you I know you love him, but he's not. He's not a brand.
01:02:09
Speaker
So I think there's a difference. Not anymore, probably. Yeah, not for a long time he hasn't been a brand. I think this movie... And I hope Zac Efron keeps going into this where he does more movies like this. Because I think that's what he needs to do.
01:02:23
Speaker
So he can establish himself more as a serious actor. Then establish himself a serious actor. Then go back and do some action flicks. Maybe some comedies. But establish as serious actor. I think with The Rockwood, what he's doing is...
01:02:35
Speaker
Rock is getting up there in age. He's not going to be able to keep doing the action stuff like he used to do. And he's not going to be bringing in the names and the money. I'm sorry, the money like he used to do. So now he's switching to this. And um listen, man, I wish him the best of luck.
01:02:48
Speaker
You know, this this is a this is a tough year for for acting. um especially when wartime comes, there's a lot of big hitters. So I wish them the best of luck, but I heard that's a really good movie that's going to do well. Yeah, I forgot about that. Thanks for reminding me. Yeah, there's a movie that I saw in November, but I'm going to leave that movie for you because I already know what it is. So I'm going to let you shine on that Um, and then, you know, obviously the big one, which we, we both have sex circled, I'm going to mention this one. I know you have this one circle, but obviously, you know, avatar fire and ash, you know, you know, you know what that's going to do. You know, you know, Mr. Mr. Cameron is gonna, is going to come with the boxing glove and he's going to knock us out completely. I'm ready. i'm also i' ready for I'm ready. I'm ready. I'm also ready for at the trailer. Let's see. I'm ready for, I'm ready.
01:03:32
Speaker
I'm ready. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, we have a lot of good movies to look forward to Mel. Mel, give me your, give me your, I mean, obviously wicked. i tried to mention as a living me man know i like i was like, there's really, there's like no other movie other than avatar that I am like, I'm sad. I'm ready. already have my popcorn. I'm i'm ready.
01:03:51
Speaker
Wicked for good. November 21st, I believe. hurt Wicked for good. I, yeah. So you have it on my calendar. Yeah. I am.
01:04:03
Speaker
I'm so excited for this. I mean, it's going to be... Get your IMAX tickets. Go watch that shit in IMAX, okay? IMAX. Go watch it in IMAX. I should. yeah and i am very, very much looking forward to that. I mean, it's the second act of Wicked.
01:04:20
Speaker
The first movie, I mean... broke the internet, broke the theater. at That movie is incredibly popular. I'm pretty sure it it is skyrocketing everyone's career. I think that's the movie that's going I think for the fall... I think that's the movie of the fall.
01:04:35
Speaker
I don't think there's anything else out there. because Okay, we could say Avatar. Avatar. But I feel like people talk more about Wicked. There is an excitement about that movie. That movie, like you said, was massive. More people are talking about Wicked than they are talking about Avatar. That's for sure. I think a lot of people forgot Avatar comes out. And then when Avatar, when is December? Everybody's like, oh, okay.
01:04:55
Speaker
all right everybody Yes, we're going to the movies. Everyone get your tickets. Put your coats on. we're going that school bus ready We're going to see. We're going to see Avatar. Let's go. That is so true. Oh my God. That is so, so true.
01:05:07
Speaker
um But yeah, know Wicked. wicked too I'm extremely excited to see Wicked for good. what good is um to see you know where these characters go. I'm ready to sob. I'm excited.
01:05:18
Speaker
I'm ready to see what Ariana Grande is bringing. Can I ask you a question on that? You saw the last trailer. It really felt like, and mind you, I saw the Broadway show. I saw it twice. I just don't remember the second half after intermission.
01:05:35
Speaker
The trailer kind of came off as like it's more of an Ariana Galinda focused film because the trailer looked like it was like her leading the charge as opposed to the first half of the movie.
01:05:47
Speaker
Well, yeah, I think it was Elphaba leading the charge. Like, I don't know. i again I don't remember the movie per se like that. I mean, there's the thing because it's been so long since I saw the film.
01:05:57
Speaker
So, yeah, and I wonder. do agree. um I think it's because in the second half of the movie, it's like her coming into like her own because in the first movie, Glinda kind of is still like, no, I can't go with you. Right. She's like, no, I have to stay behind. i have to be like this person that these people have made me want to be right. She wants to be accepted. Right. With, with Madame Morrible or, you know, how she was like, oh my God, like she likes me now. Right. She's still in that phase. And I think the second,
01:06:31
Speaker
act that move of that show and in this movie is going to be about her being like what it means to be good. Right? That's why it's also called Wicked for Good. You know? and the movie And the song that they sing together is um oh my god, people are going to be sobbing. I think it's going to be really good.
01:06:49
Speaker
and Watch it in IMAX, Mel. IMAX. Do it. Is it made for IMAX? i think it I think it was. I saw we i think we saw it on IMAX when we saw it oh watch it. Listen, this is one of your movies that you have to you have to watch it in the most best screen with the greatest sound. That's what you want IMAX for. yeah cause You're going to get a big screen with amazing sound.
01:07:08
Speaker
Shell out the money and go watch it. Watch it in the best way possible. I should. You have I should. You to. Because, like, I'm, I think I'm to be doing a rewatch of the first one in, like, early November. My friend has, in her building, she has, like, a movie theater. And we always go there and watch movies. So like, okay. And she hasn't seen Wicked. And I'm like, well, we're renting out, we're renting out the movie theater for this weekend. Make night. Make it a Wicked night. Make it a Wicked night.
01:07:34
Speaker
i mean green and pink are the colors of wear and you have to wear it yeah I'm very much excited to see it I like to see it again it's been a while so I can't I can't wait and I and I just can't wait to see this new one it's going to be yeah I just know it's going to be good like I think it's going to be special yeah I think it's going to be very special. I think John M. Chu knew what he was doing.
01:07:57
Speaker
I can't expect this movie to be bad. I'm like, it has to be good. um Now, is to be better the first one? That's always hard. Because also, the first act of Wicked is just really... it's just It has all the big hitters, right? You have Defying Gravity. You have Popular. You have these really big songs that it's always in the first act. And the way that movie ended.
01:08:19
Speaker
The way that movie ended... And I mean, ah I hope it's really good. i a Man, it's so hard. it's It is. Okay, let's. Okay. wait Wait, before you go.
01:08:31
Speaker
ah well you you Are you done with your movies for the fall? Or you got one more going? No, no, that's the only thing I want to see fall. Okay, wait, before we continue on to it' to the Emmys. And that's going to next. I got to drop this. I know you haven't seen this.
01:08:43
Speaker
But let me tell you, man. You know, we talk about surprises that we did not expect that came out of. oh yeah. Yeah.
01:08:52
Speaker
The biggest surprise of the freaking year.
01:08:58
Speaker
Huntrix. What? I mean, I'm sorry. um What is it? ah ah ah What is it? um K-pop Demon Hunters. Okay, Huntrix is the... Oh, I'm going to... That's my plan. supposed to watching that today, actually. Let me tell you.
01:09:15
Speaker
The first time. left You want to talk about left field where just like, oh, ah what's the... That movie, phenomenal. The animation, phenomenal.
01:09:27
Speaker
To the point where Sony had this movie. i don't know if you heard. Sony had this movie. They didn't think it was going to be a big hit. They're like, oh well, we'll just sell it to Netflix.
01:09:39
Speaker
someone Someone might have to lose their job. Someone might have to get fired. Oh, shit. I didn't know that. Yes. This is a Sony production. They had that in there.
01:09:50
Speaker
And they thought it wasn't going to do well. And they sent it to Netflix. And let me tell you something. I'll be honest with you. I actually do think, though, it being on Netflix helped it become a massive hit.
Emmy Highlights and Celebrations
01:10:01
Speaker
I think if it did drop in movie theaters like that, I don't think it would have gotten the the following it did. Because Netflix... What the hell is this? The rewatchability. And, yo... This movie...
01:10:15
Speaker
ah if you when when you watch it, watch it and look at, go into like go into the talk about the actors and everything. It's really interesting. It's really cool. Golden, the main song, which is amazing, that's going to win the Oscar. Like, I don't think, I don't, it doesn't, listen, I don't care what comes out. That movie's going to, that song is going to win the Oscar for best song.
01:10:36
Speaker
I have not seen ah soundtrack take over, a movie soundtrack take over music like this since, I want to say Titanic and maybe The Bodyguard.
01:10:47
Speaker
Like, dude, that song, Golden, is that song, the other song, they're just they're in the top 10. Like a majority of them are in the top 10. Oh, wow. In Billboard.
01:10:59
Speaker
Like, do you understand what that is? That's insanity that a music soundtrack is doing this. And it's artists. And it's again, it's not artists that we know. It's not a name brand artist here. These are these are these are K-pop singers. Yeah.
01:11:14
Speaker
Yeah. So that movie, surprise of the year for me. Like, I just I was just like, holy shit. Like, like, like this has become a cultural phenomenon. Like, I think it the weekend that we were in the yard, as a matter of fact, they had pop up screenings here in New York and they had sing along versions.
01:11:29
Speaker
Do you know that movie made $18 million dollars that weekend? How much? $18 million dollars on a single weekend. eighteen This movie is already on Netflix. You don't have to pay it to go to the theater.
01:11:43
Speaker
People went to go see it. And it was in limited run, Mel. Limited. It made $18 million. dollars This is why I said someone at Sony might have to like be like, yeah, you know what, bro? We can't have you making decisions anymore.
01:11:54
Speaker
You're going to have to lose your job after this. So yeah, exactly my surprise of the my surprise of the summer is ah ah K-pop Demon Hunters. Yeah, I think I've heard that from a lot of people. I think a lot of people were like, oh, like this movie? And then they watched it and they're like, oh, I fuck. So I'm actually really excited to watch it because I had no idea what it was.
01:12:13
Speaker
You're going to find yourself listening to the soundtrack on your own and you're just going to be like, this is some empowering shit. This is amazing. And the story is It's really good. It's really solid. It's amazing.
01:12:25
Speaker
Amazing. Yeah. Okay. Well, that was on my list. i'm supposed to be watching that later on today, actually. So I'm um i'm really excited to watch it. Yeah. Putting it on the channel. So it's going to be... Oh, Jesus.
01:12:37
Speaker
Sorry, my mic. It's going to be good. I'm excited. Very, very much excited. But anyway, okay. Let's move on two the Emmys. Okay, so ah just last to this past Sunday were the Emmys.
01:12:51
Speaker
um I actually watched them live, which I haven't done in a very long time, but I actually watched them on TV. ah Rodney did not but I actually sat through the whole thing. um Which actually this year I will say and I was telling Rod, I was like, they weren't bad. I mean, I think the host was kind of like, man whatever.
01:13:07
Speaker
But like, Overall, like, it was a good show. Like, I think everybody who won was well-deserved of winning. I think – and it's actually funny because I didn't realize, like, how hard the categories were this year until I, like, watched the to show. And, okay, this is the one thing I hate now. well I don't know if I hate it, but – and I think it's just because they just want to include more things, so they have to, like, hurry up the awards. Yeah.
01:13:37
Speaker
is back in the day, you know, in the Oscars and gra whatever it was, not the Grammys, the ah grand Emmys and all these things, right? They always showed a clip of the actors, like a scene or something.
01:13:49
Speaker
So you kind of were like, oh, oh yeah, okay, I get it. Now they just go through names. Now they're just like Rodney, Melody, Magnolia. like They're just like, they just say the names and then they announce the winner. And I'm like, oh, but...
01:14:00
Speaker
What if I don't really know what their performance was like? Like, I always liked getting the little but like um like that a little clip, but no, like for the Emmys, it was literally just like name, name, name, name. And the winner is boom.
01:14:12
Speaker
So um let's just start, you know, right away with one of the big winners of the night, which was the studio. um i I don't know if you want to bring it up here, all the awards that they got, but ah he Seth Rogen went home. he was like, I think he was um in the press room and he's just holding all of of his things. He's like, oh my God. He's like, I feel like Beyonce the grandkids.
01:14:34
Speaker
Because he had like all of these like awards. And I mean, well-deserved. well We talked about it on this. If you haven't seen our review about the studio, we did do a review on on um um the podcast.
01:14:46
Speaker
Absolutely. This show, I'm so glad Rodney told me to watch it because it was amazing. It is well-deserved of all the comedy. i won everything. It won, yeah I think, writing, actor, um show.
01:15:01
Speaker
Cinematography. It won a a whole bunch of shit. It won like everything. like a Basically, it's it was one of the top winners of the night. yeah did ah did Did he shut out Sal Saperstein when he won? That would have been hilarious. He wasn't saying Sal Saperstein. A lot of people supposedly said that none of them said anything for that reason because it was supposed to be like the opposite. like they did date No one wanted to thanks like thank him.
01:15:26
Speaker
so That was actually pretty funny. like People were like, oh no, it was like planned that no one wanted to... like I'm out because of the episode. um But yeah, I loved that show. That show was so good. I can't wait for season two. I can't wait to hear like, To see the shenanigans these characters are going to go through, the scenarios they're going to go through, how they're going to deal with it. It's just so well shot. It is so funny.
01:15:51
Speaker
I was very happy for Seth Rogen. I think it was really, really well deserved. um I'm really excited. and And thinking about this, I don't know if you've seen his other show, the one with Rose Byrne, Platonic. Platonic?
01:16:04
Speaker
Yeah. No, I haven't seen I binge that shit. The two seasons. It is so good. It is another so good show. And I didn't know about this show. like And it was funny because when I was watching the studio, was like, oh, I wonder why Rose Byrne hasn't made like a appearance on the show because like they've worked together before.
01:16:23
Speaker
I was like, Oh, that's interesting. And then like, at some point, like it came up on my feed or someone started talking about this show called platonic. And I was like, Oh, Oh, he's with Rose burn again. And I was like, Oh my God, this is such a fun premise. Like I, Oh, it's, it was so, so good. And like seeing them both together. Cause I loved them in neighbors. I thought they're just like, have great chemistry together as actors. Like they're just really fun to watch.
01:16:47
Speaker
But seeing them play like just like two best friends that have no romantic interest in each other at all and just going through life and like dealing with other people, not understanding their friendship and how it affects other people and – how, you know, what each person's going through, how, like, it it was so, like, refreshing. It was such a refreshing shoe.
01:17:10
Speaker
Highly recommend. highly It's, like, such an easy, fun watch. It's, like, it it covers topics that, you know, everyone's dealing with, with career, with, like, ah relationships and getting over relationships and divorce. And it was it was great.
01:17:26
Speaker
I... really really just appreciated that show was such a good time i can't i'm really looking forward to seeing season three i was i watched it and i was like oh wait was that the last episode i was like i want more it was so good highly gotta watch on it to my yeah highly recommended it's just really just a it's a fun fun watch and seth rogan is just he's just seth rogan i'm gonna re-watch um the studio again though i i um I would too. I really, really love that show. I love that show. And I want to see it again. Cause it's just, it's, it's, so it's, and it's such a quick watch. It's not like, it's not daunting.
01:18:00
Speaker
No. It's funny. Yeah. And they establish this amazing kind of little world in there and how, how their whole thing. wrote I loved it. I, It's about the industry, which we talk about on a constant basis.
01:18:13
Speaker
And it almost feels like being a fly on the wall in a studio, even if it might be like not necessarily like real like real, but it's still like things that most likely go on in a studio, like decisions they have to make and them making like just like a funny rendition of it. and it's like it's It's such a great premise. I love it. think one of the co-producers or writers is Dominican, actually.
01:18:40
Speaker
of the show. Frida? and believe so. Yeah, she's up. I think he made a shout. Yeah, she because they went for writing. I think he gave a shout. I think she's like one of like the first like Latinas to like win in writing or something like that. But didn't know she was Dominican. ah But i was like, get them Latinos in there. Represent, represent. or not just whole bunch of white people up in here. Please, thank you.
01:19:03
Speaker
um That's great. Fantastic. um And then our other big winner of the night was Adolescence. I don't know if you watched Adolescence. I actually haven't seen it.
01:19:16
Speaker
I haven't seen it. It's a heart to watch very hard watch. I don't i don't know if want to watch it. um i you know it deals with It deals with kids in school and i i have a child and she's in school and ah As a parent, it's good to watch things, but then as a parent, it's also not great to watch everything because we already deal in a very scary world as it is to then have to throw more things in your head.
01:19:45
Speaker
and like I talked about earlier in the episode about hope and all these things. Oh yeah. That show is pretty dark. It's pretty dark. And again, it's but it's a realistic thing. It's the world we live in now.
01:19:57
Speaker
And that's the sad part about it. But I mean, kudos to the young actor. It's the first time he ever acted in anything. And he acted his shoes off. think he's like 15 or something. He's also the youngest guy to win. I wish him the best in his life. And if he does want to continue acting, he's off to a right foot. And if he doesn't...
01:20:18
Speaker
Great. Guess what? you you you If this is what you want to do you want it there, you're ending it on a high note. I can't imagine. it Imagine just like being like, oh, sure, I'll audition for this. And then you like win an Emmy? What in the actual fuck? like What is your life? like Every day you wake up and you're like, oh, my God, there's an Emmy on my shelf.
01:20:38
Speaker
Yeah, man, that's awesome. It's crazy. But yeah, every ah ah pretty much I think almost like every actor. The guy who plays the dad. Stephen Graham. Stephen Graham. He is... Let me tell you. Stephen Graham is one of these don't know he was.
01:20:49
Speaker
His name is Stephen Graham. He's one of these actors that he's in a lot of movies. He's in a lot of things. And people don't know him. People don't know his name. He is a phenomenal actor. I remember him. The first time I saw him was when I saw Snatch back in 2000. And he played... um He played Tommy, who was Jason Statham's partner in the movie. He was like his business partner.
01:21:09
Speaker
That's the first time i ever saw him. And ever since then, I've always had this kind of ah attachment to him because every time I see him, I think about that movie. I think about Snatch and Tommy. And he's just such a great actor.
01:21:20
Speaker
And I'm so happy for him. i hope it leads I hope this just continues to lead to him getting bigger roles, lead roles, because he's that great of an actor where he should lead a movie or he should lead a TV show.
01:21:34
Speaker
like He's in a lot a lot of stuff. He's in a lot of like those... like um he said I didn't know he was in Peaky Blinders. He was in Gangs of New York, Boardwalk Empire, yeah the Irishman, like really like gang...
01:21:49
Speaker
Yeah, because he could play that role. He plays that role very, very well. But he's also, again, in this movie, in this show, he played a dad who's going stuff. And it's like, to me, like he's just a phenomenal actor. And I hope that this opens up more doors to him getting other roles outside of that realm where he could show it off, you know? I really, I feel, but after seeing it and seeing like so many, like normally for me, like if something wins a lot of awards, usually that's like my, like,
01:22:18
Speaker
Okay, maybe maybe I should watch it because like ever like i like i think everyone that was... Basically, I think it won like everything in limited series, I think.
01:22:29
Speaker
Yeah. i wanted i was i was I was a little bit... because I wanted the Penguin to win. I wanted the Penguin to win. Oh, that was hard. so But I'll be honest with you. What's your name won? She won. Yeah, Christian Melati won, which I was happy because she deserved it. She was amazing in that yeah she was in the role as Sophia.
01:22:44
Speaker
um I wanted Colin Farrell win, but i I'll be honest with you. I could tell you myself, Colin Farrell is happy Stephen Graham won that award. Yeah. Colin Farrell is a dad. And again, in this role, we have a person playing a father and who's gone through stuff. And Colin Farrell is a guy that I'm assuming knows Steven Graham. Cause they're from that. They're both from yeah and that part of the world. i Um,
01:23:07
Speaker
So I'm, I'm again, I'm, I'm just putting my stuff out there. I would have loved to have seen Colin Farrell win because I think he was phenomenal, but Colin Farrell won a golden globe and he's won a lot of notoriety for the penguin.
01:23:20
Speaker
I think it's fine. If, if, if Steven Graham, yeah and yeah I don't think, I don't think, I don't think it's, i don't think anyone's going to lose any sleep over that. Again, I wanted the penguin to win more awards, but it's fine. Christian Malati got what she deserved. Yeah. She's phenomenal actress. And,
01:23:34
Speaker
She made a name for herself as Sofia Falco slash Gigante. Again, very happy for for that show. Yeah, I'm glad that she won. I'm happy that is that show a show like The Penguin, which is, you know, you think about The Penguin, you think about like a comic book character, but no, that's another example of you could take...
01:23:52
Speaker
you could take a a thing that's comic book related and make it into something bigger, stronger, which is why I think about like a show like Lanterns. And I said, they're going to do something with Lanterns in that level. It's going to be yeah very unexpected. So very happy for that, for, for, for, for for you know, for,
01:24:10
Speaker
Christian Milani and for Stephen Graham and the young actor that won for Adolescence. ah You know, if any show or movie can go out there and make an example or set an example for people to be better and be more attentive in the lives of their children or people they love, if that's what that show does or movie does, great.
01:24:28
Speaker
Because it is important to do that, you know, especially as a parent. I'm a parent. um it's very important for me to always be attentive of my child and what is going on in their life and and what is, what is, what's, what's bothering them. what's Yeah.
01:24:45
Speaker
It's, it's, especially nowadays, you know, um it's easy to just be like, oh no, he's fine. She's fine. Well, like that's like, you know, growing up, you know, like our parents' generation, right? Yeah.
01:24:58
Speaker
A lot of them were just like, he's fine. There's nothing wrong with them. Right. You know, they're, And you got to choose to be better. You as an individual have to choose to be better. You can use the example, oh, oh well, that's how I learned growing up.
01:25:09
Speaker
No, no, no. You learned that growing up doesn't mean that your child has to learn the same way. yeah You can be better. You can do things differently. doesn't mean that you're against how you grew up. It just means that maybe your child needs a different type of attention or different type of love or different type of talking to.
01:25:25
Speaker
You know what I mean? So, yeah, again, I'm i'm very happy for for the show and that if it opens up eyes to parents and guardians and other family members to, like, look at children in their lives and treat them differently or look into a more, then great. Moments, yeah.
01:25:40
Speaker
I definitely, I think I'm going to sit down and watch it. I mean, I remember when it came out, it was, like, a very big hit. It was, like, a lot people were talking about it, and I was like, ah Just like so shows like this, sometimes you just have to like kind of just be like, okay, I just got to watch it.
01:25:53
Speaker
um So I'm going to sit down. I don't think... i i don't It's a limited series. It's not that many episodes, so it should be fine to watch. um But yeah, and I think I also want to watch it because of the way it was shot. It's in like the the one...
01:26:07
Speaker
the one-take situation. Yeah, one-take situation. So that I always, you know, as someone who's into film, you know, just kind of seeing how things are filmed like that, like that's always like really cool because you also have to wonder like,
01:26:20
Speaker
You know, kind of like, um like everybody has to be on, right? It can't just be like, oh, sorry, I missed my line or I missed where I was supposed to stand, right? Everyone has to work together to make the shot, to make the show work.
01:26:33
Speaker
Kind of remind me of 1917, which is, oh, I love that film. Sad, fucking love that film. right? Getting to see this, like, just one take of all this stuff. It's just great. Fantastic filmmaking.
01:26:48
Speaker
yeah That reminds me of the
Show Continuity and Viewer Engagement
01:26:49
Speaker
of the studio with the one shot. Yeah. Oh,
01:26:56
Speaker
oh my God. And he kept getting in the shot.
01:27:02
Speaker
And then he like falls over and like, oh, I forgot. And then like the cars in the shot. and oh yeah ah my That's funny. Thanks for reminding me of that episode. That shit was funny. That was that was actually one of my favorite episodes. That episode was fucking hilarious.
01:27:15
Speaker
ah But anyway, yeah. So that was a big winner. And then we did have, I think the pit was the big one. Cause it won. I think it won best drama.
01:27:26
Speaker
Deserved actor. And I think some, no, not supporting. What's her name? Best show the year. Best Supporting Actress, yeah. Catherine Lanasa. Oh!
01:27:37
Speaker
Outstanding Supporting... The girl from Severance won lead. That's what it was. Yeah, she won lead, yeah. I forgot. I was like, wait, didn't she win? No, no, you're right. She won Supporting. yeah So um that's... i We were talking about before we started filming. That's definitely the one that I am... It's on my list to watch.
01:27:52
Speaker
Oh, my God. The Pit is so good. I was telling Mel, I was telling Mel, like when you see that show and you see it for an entire, you're going to be like, yep. Okay. I get it. I get it. A hundred percent. Noah Wiley is fan fantastic. Like he is, he is just, he just reminds you it. He just tells you like, yeah, yeah, you're that guy. You're that guy. And, and just the entire cast, the premise of the show, I said it's 24, but in a hospital.
01:28:17
Speaker
So it's all one shift and, you know, it's not your regular hospital show. It's not like kooky romances and this and that. Oh, he's sleeping with her. She's sleeping with him. No, no, no, no, none of that crap. This is about straight up.
01:28:29
Speaker
Medical drama, we got to save people's lives. There's people coming into this hospital with different problems, different points of view politically, ah different points of view from a religious standpoint.
01:28:40
Speaker
And it's just about dealing with that all in one episode. While, you know, there's a kid that got shot in the other room that's trying to get saved by this other... it's it's ah It's a chaotic, it's a gripping and a chaotic world.
01:28:53
Speaker
And yeah, you could say, oh, well, what about what you talked about earlier in the episode about hope and this and that? Well, if you watch the show, the whole point of the show is talking about hope. It's talking about being better to the community that that hospital serves.
01:29:08
Speaker
Well, yeah, because technically, you know, yeah, at the end of the day, like it is a mental health. you know As a medical drama, yeah. Healthcare workers and like they're yeah trying to save you. So there is hope in that. It's not like they're letting you die. Yeah, it takes place in an yeah ER. and And let's be real. It's a realistic situation.
01:29:24
Speaker
People die in an yeah ER. People come in. Some people come in and they live. Some people come in and they die. It's just a reality of... What it is to be a a medical person, a support staff or doctor or healthcare person in ah in an ER.
01:29:40
Speaker
Fantastic show. It deserved all the awards. And I cannot wait until the show premieres again in January. Which I hear like people were happy because they're not making us wait all this time because, you know, that's...
01:29:52
Speaker
in the biggest gripe with shows these days is is the way between and and Netflix Netflix is going to have to do something about this because I'm thinking like like Stranger Things is ending this year Stranger Things is literally like think it's like 10 plus year old show And then I'm thinking about Wednesday. We just finished Wednesday. I love season two of Wednesday. i thought it was really good. i thought it was better than the first season. It's really good, Mel. You should watch it.
01:30:14
Speaker
um But they're going do a season three. But they're saying, oh, season three might drop in 2027, maybe 2028. like, dude, the that plays Pugsley is going to be the age of Luis Jimenez. think that's his name.
01:30:30
Speaker
But it's going to the age of the dad by the time this comes up. Because it's just like, why is it taking so long? And it's only eight episodes. Now, I understand. Yeah. You know, Jenna Ortega is like a very high in demand actress. I get it.
01:30:41
Speaker
But it's like, like this is this doesn't work. It doesn't work. This method of how they do things, you lose the interest of people. Because it it takes too long.
01:30:51
Speaker
takes long. think we feel about fucking Bridgerton. I was literally talking to ah to talking to my friend about this. Granted, Bridgerton is... yeah I still think people will stick around for them for at least a little bit longer.
01:31:03
Speaker
But like the fact that they make us wait two years in between each season for eight episodes is it is one of the the most the craziest things I've ever heard.
01:31:15
Speaker
We used to get 22 to 24 episodes every fucking year. And yes, some episodes might be fillers, but it still served- the story there was a full arc there was a full beginning middle and end or cliffhanger at the end something that made you be like okay i'm waiting but the fact that they make us wait two fucking years for an eight episode show baffling and i i will i will i i will only say it's okay because for certain years because we had the strike right We had the writer's strike. we had the actor's strike. That was a really big week with Severance, right?
01:31:59
Speaker
Thank the gods I didn't have to wait three years between season one and season two. Same here. Same here. I didn't even know this. I was baffled when people were like, yeah, at the end of... Sorry, guys, we're going to spoilers for Severance if you haven't seen it. Spoilers three, two, one.
01:32:15
Speaker
I was baffled by the fact that people had to wait three years between fucking Mark yelling, she's alive!
01:32:25
Speaker
wait three years to then him opening up in an elevator and you're like, what the fuck? i I can't. I cannot. I agree. I agree. And that's why like that's why like I feel like Netflix and Like, especially in Netflix. Netflix is ah is what started this.
01:32:43
Speaker
Is this this weight of of of things, you know? I mean, I know HBO used to do it back in the day. Especially, and never... Especially with Sopranos. I heard a lot of people complain.
01:32:54
Speaker
And there are certain seasons that took long a lot longer to come out. And Game of Thrones kind of suffered with this as well. it? But I also feel like... Yeah, i think there was a season or two with Game of Thrones where it was like it took ah a bit longer to to drop whatever.
01:33:07
Speaker
But I feel like like in the case of Bridgerton or Shonda Rhimes,
01:33:14
Speaker
why don't like why don't you have something set up in between? Like another show that sets up in between the seasons. like i like with Like for example, with Wednesday, what they're doing right now is they're doing ah a season, a show for um Uncle Fester. It'll be a show on him and about about him and his adventures.
01:33:32
Speaker
So it's almost like a little bit of a filler show between when Wednesday comes out, which I'm like, okay, that's cool because that kind of keeps your palate a little wet for that world. They that for Bridgerton. Yeah. Yeah, they did that with the Queen, right? ah Yeah, had the Queen Charlotte show. But then they should i they should do more of that, though. They should do more things like that.
01:33:49
Speaker
Because I feel like... I think you're right, Mel. And it's what we talked about. with The whole premise of this episode that we talked about is... Since we were talking about the whole Marvel thing, your audience is growing up and they're getting older.
01:34:00
Speaker
And there their interest in things changes from a year-to-year basis. New things come in their life that occupy the space that you, as a show, filled...
01:34:11
Speaker
So there's literally no guarantee that this fan base of yours is going to come back to watch you when you come back. Yeah. You know what saying? No, it's true. And Bridgerton is a big one because Bridgerton is like, I think like seven siblings or something. Like there's supposed to be seven people.
01:34:27
Speaker
So it's like people are like cracking up because they're like, oh my God, by the time we get to the last brother, people are going to be like fucking 50 years old. Like at this point, if you're making us wait every two years, you're milking it too much. there It's too much.
01:34:39
Speaker
And, And now, you know, Netflix likes to do the two-parter shit where they don't even just drop the whole thing. They're like, okay, part one, and then they make you wait part ah for part two another month.
01:34:49
Speaker
And it's granted, it's how they keep viewers, right? Because they want people to like come back to watch the rest of the series. And I honestly don't know. i don't know. you can let me know how you feel about this. But like, do you miss the like weekly drops? Or would you prefer or do you like the like, let's just drop everything at once?
01:35:09
Speaker
Okay, well, this is the thing with that. I think it depends on the show. It also depends on me and my schedule. Like, for instance, I've been, you know, and know were cool Is the pit weekly? The pit was weekly, yes.
01:35:20
Speaker
It was weekly, Peacemakers weekly. um Yeah, like, for instance, i I don't know if I told you this. I saw the paper. all the up I didn't know all the episodes dropped on the paper. Oh, yeah. i'm I'm like on episode like seven or something. Yeah. yeah yeah By the way, I love the show.
01:35:36
Speaker
I love it. i think i think I think they did it. They did as great of a job as you could that type of show. something like that. Yeah, agreed. Especially with the pressure that that show has. I love i love it. I think the characters are great.
01:35:49
Speaker
But like with the with with with the paper, I didn't watch everything in one sitting. we kind of Me and my wife, we watched it watched maybe an episode or two in like a series. and Maybe like in a week we watched it. Yeah. i mean but you know But that's your choice, though. You can decide, OK, I'm going to binge it.
01:36:03
Speaker
Or you know what? going watch two episodes. Then maybe in the weekend I'll watch you know another episode. You can decide. Because even if you have a show like like you said, like The Pit, like The Pit is a show where you're going to want to watch it.
01:36:16
Speaker
Like when that week, when it that you're dying to watch it you're not going to be like, oh, I'm going to let it sit. Because sometimes I do that. I'll let shows sit. and i'll Like Alien Earth. I let alien i didn't watch Alien Earth right away. i like i i let it I let it accumulate. and i watched like Then I had like five episodes in the like, to watch the first two. that i'm gonna watch these two and da-da-da-da.
01:36:35
Speaker
And now I'm up to date on it. you know it's The season's not over. It's about to end in like a few weeks. But yeah. Yeah, like there's certain shows that that I actually do like because I think it creates excitement. You know, like Peacemaker, I'm dying to watch Peacemaker. So as we're done, I'm going to turn on Peacemaker because I need to know what the hell happened.
01:36:50
Speaker
You know what I mean? Same thing with The Pit. The way The Pit ends, it's like, oh, my God, I can't wait for next week. Like back in the day when we used to watch Supernatural, Supernatural would end like on a fucking cliffhanger. I want to watch it. you know ah like It doesn't matter.
01:37:03
Speaker
you know like That's how it is with with these things. I think it depends on the show. It depends on the person. Because sometimes you as ah as an adult, you don might not have time to sit down and watch five episodes. You'll like, listen, to watch this episode and then I'll watch the other episodes in like a week or two when I have an open schedule. Yeah, that's true. you know you may have You have kids. You have a job.
01:37:22
Speaker
You might have multiple jobs. you know You, for instance, you're a person that you travel for your job. You might be like, listen, i don't got time. I got to fly out here and then I got to come back. So it depends on the individual or the person.
01:37:33
Speaker
But one thing I think we can all agree with is this shit of like multiple years in between shows, especially when you deal with shows with children. Like, for instance, the Percy Jackson show was coming back. And I saw the first season because we watched that show with our daughter.
01:37:49
Speaker
And I just saw the trailer for the new one. And I'm like, this motherfucker's a man. He was 12 on season one. He looks like he can... He was little. He looks like he go with me to the bar and get, like, a drink now, yo. I'm like, dude, this... You're supposed to tell me? Oh, yeah, this is his second year and in in in this camp. I'm like...
01:38:09
Speaker
dude you know he has a five o'clock shadow that's true i forgot yeah that actor he's like shot up yeah he shot up and that's the thing when you deal with kid actors kids grow that's why you you know what mel mel no you know what you know ah you know what we're gonna see this a lot where they can they cannot this is gonna be the big test the harry potter show the harry potter show Oh, verdad. Yeah. That comes out next year. And that's a very highly anticipated show. And ah understandably so, the pressure for that series. that's But these are kids.
01:38:44
Speaker
So we're going to see them grow. they have They literally have to shoot this show every year. They cannot... They cannot wait too long to shoot this to shoot that that show.
01:38:57
Speaker
Because you can't tell me that this kid who plays Harry Potter is going to stay this age. They're going to have to shoot that show the way they shot the movies. They're going to have to. They have to.
01:39:08
Speaker
I don't know how old the kids are and Are they like 10? I think so. Kind of like the same as like Daniel Radcliffe was. That same little age. i mean like I mean, you could see... i mean from From the first movie to the third movie, like they shot up.
01:39:25
Speaker
Right? that The third movie the one that changed everything. The third movie changed. they looked yeah like That's when they all like literally started growing up. right The first and the second, like you could see a little bit a little bit older. But the third was when all of a sudden you were like, oh shit, they're like teenagers.
01:39:40
Speaker
So yeah, definitely with this show, especially like... especiallyhi like so you know you know, boys, like they will, they they'll get the growth spurt. And then you're like, Oh fuck. Now they're this tall. And that's, yeah that's what I'm saying. Like, I think the Harry Potter show is going to be a big test to that and about HBO and how are they going to, they have to shoot that show every year. They cannot wait. They cannot have a, Oh yeah. We're going to take a year break.
01:40:06
Speaker
Can't do it. No. Do those kids, have do those kids have to sign on for like, I'm assuming so. I'm assuming so. it's ah it's You're playing this part. you you you're You're locked in.
01:40:16
Speaker
What is it? Well, actually, no. It's seven? It's seven books. So they're going to do seven books. I'm assuming going to seven books. Seven seasons, yeah. So that's seven that's seven ah seasons.
01:40:28
Speaker
Like, how are these seasons going to be? Is it going to be seven straight years? and umm I'm thinking they're going to have to do that because you can't wait because this is going to be too hard to justify these kids growing up.
01:40:39
Speaker
And it's not good for the audience, it's going to be like, oh shit, you know. Because every kid is different. Some kids, you could be oh, they can still pull it off. There might be another kid be oh, you can't pull it off. Yeah, that's true. They won't know that. They don't know if all of a sudden in two years, this kid's going to age up real quick. Because it's true. You don't know what a little kid's going to grow up into, how fast they grow, what their faces will look like. I mean, look at me. Yeah, exactly. I could still play a 15 year old if I wanted. Right. But like, it is true. Like you really don't know with like little kids, like what they're going to start growing, how they're grow and things like that.
01:41:13
Speaker
But yeah, absolutely. Like I feel like the, the weight between shows like, so I, I'm pretty sure you've heard of the show, the summer I turned pretty. Yeah. Have you heard of the show? Right. It's very, it's very, very popular. It's obviously, it's a big kit for me on my YouTube channel. It's a big kit in my, in my world.
01:41:32
Speaker
The show just ended yesterday. ah Yesterday was the series finale of the show, three seasons. And they announced... Oh, so I was telling Alfie about it because i said I think the show is back on. There was one show. this there's They're watching two shows that are very... I think she's touching it. It's My Life with the Walter Boys and The Summer I Turned Pretty. There's two. She's very disappointed.
01:41:52
Speaker
She's very disappointed at one show. ah she's just see i think I think her and Mackenzie watch these shows and they're very sick and tired of like the love triangle aspect of of things. Yeah, that's a one. Which is one with Belly, which was that one. That's the Samurai Turnpity.
01:42:07
Speaker
That's the big one. they don't dare They don't like that show. Oh, my God. Oh, I have to tell you about it. They don't like belly. They think belly's a very. And I have to agree. I've seen some episodes.
01:42:19
Speaker
I'm like, you're very selfish character. Very. Oh, it gets better. Like, the way the show ended was, was a well, this is the crazy part, right? This is the crazy part. most
Impact of Gaming on Entertainment
01:42:30
Speaker
Don't say anything.
01:42:31
Speaker
Remember, this is going on. What? No, no, no. I mean, like, it this is already announced. This is already announced. So the show ended yesterday. So this show was weekly. So everybody, every Wednesday, tuned into this show.
01:42:44
Speaker
It has been amazing. Like, an amazing thing to cover on the channel. Amazing thing talk about with people on the internet. It's giant. This is a very, very big hit for Jenny Han. um So the show ended yesterday.
01:42:56
Speaker
The series ended. And then the actors, everybody, they had the movie. This... um this last four episodes of the show took place in Paris. So they decided to do the, the premiere to the like final episode, whatever in Paris.
01:43:11
Speaker
And at the end, they revealed that there's going to be a movie and it's actually going to be the actual end of the story. So the way that the show ended, isn't the actual end because this show is based on a book.
01:43:26
Speaker
So in the book, These characters like get married. There's like an epilogue. There's like all this stuff. So people were expecting that the show was going to end like that. But the show ended very much like ah a rom-com at end. You know how usually in romantic movies, the guy and the girl don't get together until like the last 10 minutes. And then it ends.
01:43:46
Speaker
Right? And you never get to see the after. So Jenny Han was like, well, I didn't want to rush this next milestone in Belly's life. So we're making a movie. So basically...
01:43:58
Speaker
Yeah. And people were like, okay, so when is this movie coming out? Because I'm not waiting fucking until 2027 for the summer I turned pretty. Like I'm not waiting like two years to have to see belly and Conrad get married. Like this is crazy.
01:44:13
Speaker
So a lot of people have been speculating about that because they asked Jenny Han and and recent interview they were on the today show like so when is this is it green like it has been officially greenlit suppose it has been greenlit they made the announcement it's gonna on amazon prime all this stuff but the crazy thing is is like they asked her oh when is the movie coming out and she's like well you know it's not gonna come out next year like we still have to film it so people are like fuck it's gonna be 2027 But some people are speculating that they actually already filmed it and it's actually going to be coming out in Christmas time this year. But they're just lying and saying that they haven't filmed it, that they just had made a draft.
01:44:49
Speaker
Now, I hope that's true because I don't want to wait fucking 2027 to see the story end. I'm like, let's just end it. That's another movie for you for 2027 to watch now.
01:45:01
Speaker
Like, I mean, a lot of people are happy. A lot of people, this, okay, this story, this show, this book is very, very beloved in this, you know, in the space. genre In the space. It's very beloved.
01:45:15
Speaker
People are very, very much attached to Team Conrad. It's like, Belly and Conrad being together is like, it it has to be. And a lot of people were upset with how the show ended. So a lot of people were actually like happy that we're getting a movie. And I'm like, I was perfectly happy with the way the show ended.
01:45:34
Speaker
Yes. Would I like a movie? Absolutely. But at the same time, I'm like, but you're going to make me wait fucking two years to watch it. Well, I hope for your sakes and the fans of this show, it's not that long. And I hope you're right. I hope it's something where oh, yeah, we're going to drop it in Christmas or whatever. We're going to drop it in Valentine's. going to drop it in Valentine's Day of next year. Yeah. yeah There's just a lot of themes. a lot of people She's like very like ah Jenny Han very much is like loves Taylor Swift. She plays Taylor Swift. like There's about 30 songs in the whole of The Summer I Turned Pretty, like the amount of Taylor or Swift songs she uses.
01:46:07
Speaker
I don't know how much she paid for these songs because she is using Taylor Swift to music. Like it's, crazy it's batshit crazy. The amount of money she probably spent are using these songs, but she's also someone who's really much into Easter eggs and things like that. And people like always watch things in the show and they're like,
01:46:24
Speaker
wait, they've been saying these numbers way too much. If you put this number and this number together, that means December 2025. Christmas is also a very big thing between the characters. and like They always meet up during Christmas. Things always happen during Christmas for them. like It's a big thing. So that's why a lot of people are like, oh, no, it's it's a lie. They're dropping it in December. And I'm like, you know what? I fucking hope for all of our sakes that's in December because – If she was actually not lying and they just did a draft, that means that they are not going to start filming this until probably like maybe March of next year. Maybe.
01:47:02
Speaker
But that movie doesn't take that long. I don't think the movie takes that long to shoot. They could shoot that movie and have it released next year. Well, i' wanted to what this is what I was saying is the episodes, all the last couple of episodes have all been like an hour and like 20 minutes.
01:47:16
Speaker
That can be a movie. They could have filmed this shit already. They could have filmed it, yeah. think There's no special effects. It's literally just Conrad and Belly in a house. like You could literally film that in two days. Anywhere. You could shoot that anywhere. like so latin That's why a lot of people are like, well, you know what? Maybe they it. You don't think they used the volume to shoot that movie? Like, oh, we're in location in the volume.
01:47:37
Speaker
Like we're not really in Paris. They're actually in the volume. where where some We're somewhere in in Connecticut. Shouldn't this move be in the volume? You know what? Like I said, I wish, I hope that that for the fans of that show and for you that it comes out sooner than later. Because yeah, again, going back to our conversation, I hope that we don't need to wait long for these things. Like there's far too much happening in life.
01:48:02
Speaker
that that is that is a that's going to take attention away from people. Listen, next year, Mel, in May of next year, I believe it is. on, let me... check. there's ah There's a very big release happening next year.
01:48:15
Speaker
show? That no one is talking about. ah No one is talking about it in terms of the entertainment. No. People are talking about it, but in a different space. Listen, May 26th of 2026, there's a little game called Grand Theft Auto 6 coming out.
01:48:29
Speaker
And when that game comes out, that's gonna ah that is going to take over everything. Because let me tell you something right now. We don't talk about video games in this channel, but let me just say this.
01:48:40
Speaker
There is no piece of media that has generated more money than Grand Theft Auto. Really? The last Grand Theft Auto 5, the last Grand Theft Auto game, when it came out. Okay?
01:48:51
Speaker
Grand Theft Auto 5 came out in oh
01:49:03
Speaker
twenty thirteen okay so yes do the math there Uh-huh. That movie. I mean, that show. but i'm a show That video game. Video game.
01:49:14
Speaker
Okay, now, I want you. I want you. I'm going to throw this out there to you. um How much money do you think Grand Theft Auto generated?
01:49:25
Speaker
Grand Theft Auto V. Just number five. How much money do you think it generated? Oh, I don't know. Throw number. I don't know how video games work. like That's fine. No, no, just throw me a number. Throw a number out there. It's in the millions?
01:49:37
Speaker
I'm not going to tell you. just want you to throw a number out there. Just say a number. It's going How much is it? Yeah. 10 million? ah game A game... Okay, let's put it like this. of A video game costs $60, okay? I'm going to give you that. okay It's $60 per game, okay? Okay. So the last time the game came out was in 2013, and we're in 2025. Yeah. So I want you to just take that number...
01:50:01
Speaker
$60 per game, 2025. So it's been roughly, ah what, like a little over, it's over 10 years, like maybe 12, 13 years since then. $60 a person.
01:50:17
Speaker
I'm going to say it's definitely in the like, hold on. I'm just, I got to get a calculator here. Hold on. Let's see.
01:50:28
Speaker
Okay.
01:50:33
Speaker
I'm going to $36 million. $36 million. That's a great number. That is an excellent number. But it's way off. GTA V has generated close to $10 billion.
01:50:47
Speaker
dollars Just remember, with a B, $10 billion. Billion dollars? dollars No movie studio can say they've done something like that off of one product.
01:51:00
Speaker
They did it. basic And this is this is generated off of sales, generated off of sales of, because remember, they that game has expanded with online stuff. It's just, it's generated so much.
01:51:11
Speaker
it I think they said it's the highest form of media that has garnered the most money. i think that's what they said it is. So yeah, that game comes out next year. And I think a lot of people are kind of underestimating.
01:51:23
Speaker
I wonder what movie comes out that weekend for that. Because that movie's gonna that movie is going to suffer because a lot of people are going to play video games. are gonna be um Yo, you're you're laughing.
01:51:36
Speaker
But this is an event. This is a major event. gta GTA 6 is a major, major like release for for for people. Especially, like, think about the world we live in. Look at what we do. We do content creation for content creators. you know how much content creation has been done with Grand Theft Auto V?
01:51:55
Speaker
I mean, if you go on YouTube right now and you put content creation for Black, you are going to see things that are playing. Recently this year, they made a movie that was shot using GTA V, like mods.
01:52:08
Speaker
Yeah. Like, it's a thing. So, Grand Theft Auto 6 is going to be massive. and And another little thing, Grand Theft Auto 6, one of the main characters, the the the girl, I forgot her name, she's Dominican.
01:52:22
Speaker
The voice actors that does it, the voice actors that does the Dominican. um And I have a ah close friend of mine, Brian. Shout out to Brian Orr. He did some of the music in that game. so some of Some of the tracks for for the hip-hop stations.
01:52:33
Speaker
He produced it, and it's going to be in the game. So that's a major, major release next year. I got to check what movie comes out that weekend or that week of that because it might get affected. It might get affected. Just of space. Wow. Yeah.
01:52:46
Speaker
Yeah. Full of space. Damn. Yeah. So listen, we've talked ah hell of a lot. Of everything but the Emmys just now. Everything but the Emmys. But you know what? The Emmys the emmys were... were i think I think all the right shows... I think we can agree.
01:52:58
Speaker
All the right shows that we wanted won awards. A lot of people that... And granted, you know, we we didn't... We know we know our our issues. You know, the the the major snub for Andor with Diego Luna. But you know what? Diego Luna, this is the one thing I'll say about award shows.
01:53:14
Speaker
ah Award shows don't make the actor or the actress or the show. the show will always live on. It will always have the love of its fan base. And that's the one thing we can say about Andor and Rogue One.
01:53:28
Speaker
We can easily say that is the best thing Disney has done in regards to Star Wars. Nothing they've done comes close to that. maybe first Maybe the first season of Mandalorian is the only thing that comes close to that.
01:53:41
Speaker
Outside of that, Andor, Rogue One is on a level all its own. Even in the mythos of Star Wars, it's up there to me, in my personal opinion. And Diego Luna has um has cultivated and made this character of Cassian Andor as someone special, someone that's beloved, someone that we could all look at as an example of of what it is to so be strong and to acknowledge when you're afraid and when you're scared, but when you have to step up as a leader Yeah. And Diego Luna will have the love and respect of a lot of people. An award does not make the actor or the actress.
01:54:16
Speaker
it the That is true, yeah. It is what you do, and it is what you do as that character that matters. And what
Severance and Creative Storytelling
01:54:23
Speaker
he did with with Cassian Andor, and this show, what it did as a whole for Star Wars fans and non-Star Wars fans alike, you know, is something that is magical, and I will always, always hold it high in my heart.
01:54:36
Speaker
Yeah. No, well well said. Well said. I mean, I think, um what's his name? Dan? the The writer, Gilroy. Dan Gilroy, yeah. Dan, he won one likely one writing for, I forgot which episode. Well deserved.
01:54:50
Speaker
Yeah, he did win. So when they said that, I felt i felt much more vindicated. like i was like, okay, you know, I'm glad that they won for writing because that was one of the most, you know,
01:55:02
Speaker
and that's what really made that show as well right i mean the writing is so important um so i was very happy when they they at least gave them like that award even if they didn't get any other the other things like i'm glad that they got something for writing i don't know if it was for a specific episode i can't remember but he won for something and you know he acknowledged ah you know i don't know if you watched his speech but he did acknowledge you know everybody who watched the show and how thankful he was and you know, and, and, you know his brother working with Tony and and all these things. And I was like, oh, well, just I clapped. I was so happy. i thought I was so, I was so happy that like they won for something, even if they didn't win for anything else. Like I think, or they were nominated for anything else. I think it was very, very important. and I was very happy.
01:55:47
Speaker
um i i want i want them I want them to to do I want i want the Gilroys to do more things. It doesn't have to be Star Wars. I want to see them do more things. Go into other aspects of things yeah and make it happen. Mel, just quick side note. i just I just i had to check. was like, yo, what movie's coming out that week?
01:56:05
Speaker
Mel, I think the studio's got the notice. Because I'm looking ahead. I don't know. Because right now at this point, they can shuffle anything because they're shuffled in there. Nothing is major being released that week.
01:56:17
Speaker
I think originally, wasn't Avengers supposed to be in May? I think Avengers was originally in May. Avengers and now we're competing with that. and It says right now, it says May 22nd. It says May 22nd. It says Mandalorian Grogu's supposed to drop, but that's a week ahead.
01:56:32
Speaker
Oh, shit. I too. We're talking about Star Wars. and Look at that. I completely forgot. That's another thing. I'm like, yo, how haven't they released a trailer for that yet? Like, how haven't you released a trailer for that? That, I think, has been filmed.
01:56:44
Speaker
It's been filmed for a long time. Well, no, I actually, I saw a trailer for it. leaked online. It was a very poor, because it was at, I think someone recorded it. It was either at Comic-Con people. you're right. I saw one.
01:56:55
Speaker
But it was like, it was poor quality. So there's a trailer out there. But I'm like, how haven't y'all released a trailer for this movie? Y'all gotta think about Star Wars and... Yo, seriously, what the fuck's going on?
01:57:08
Speaker
Dude. telling you, man. i don't know what the hell's happening at Disaster. Yeah. Yeah. yeah Yeah. But yeah. Okay. So I just want to end with, you know, with the Emmy. i I do want to end with severance because I was very happy that um the, whats I don't know of their names.
01:57:25
Speaker
ah a I just know them by their character names. Helly. Helly R. Yeah. And Milchak. Hannah. Hannah Inburn and Tramiel Tillman. Yeah. Well deserved.
01:57:38
Speaker
Well deserved. Especially Milchak. He is one of my favorite characters on that show. And I was, so, so with Severance and like my background with Severance, Rodney told me, and a lot of people have been talking about the show for a while. And I said, okay, so Rudy and i my husband decided to to watch it together.
01:57:54
Speaker
And this is the first time I'd ever seen Rudy like hooked on a show. And that never happens because my husband's the opposite of me. He is and doesn't watch TV like that. Like he is very particular about like the old the last show he watched that was like like a staple was Succession.
01:58:09
Speaker
After that, he doesn't really like- I love Succession. Very particular about what he watches. I was like, hey, nogan honey, let's sit down and watch this. I heard it's really good. And he's like, okay, fine. I knew that really liked it because he had been watching it.
01:58:22
Speaker
Like we would watch two episodes a day. That's how I knew. But that show, like Milchak to me is one of those characters that like, you it's been two seasons and you still know nothing about him.
01:58:33
Speaker
He is still like this, he's such a weird character. He's a mystery box. He's a mystery box. He's mystery. Like, I don't know if he's bad, if he's good, if he – what his actual beliefs are. How did he get here? What's his connection to this place?
01:58:50
Speaker
Like, he's also just, like, that weird, like, character because, you know, he has those moments where he's, like, the floor manager and he comes into the room and he does, like, parties and he's, like dancing. Like, that finale episode when it was, like – um choreography and merriment and then like the drummers come and he's like dancing and he's like a marching band in there yeah like it was like i'm like who is this character like i'm so intrigued he's so good and he's just like he could be so serious and when he has that smile like he's very sinister very sinister very sinister but you're like but then you also feel for him because he's still treated like shit yeah there's parts yeah
01:59:31
Speaker
There's parts where you feel for him like that. I think it was in season one where they gave him the, those portraits where everyone was black. And it was like, are you trying to make me feel included? And then he like hit it.
01:59:41
Speaker
Then like he got reprimanded for using like really big words and like putting his staplers on the wrong way. And then he like, but then he claps back at people.
01:59:53
Speaker
So then like, you know you're wondering like, How did you get here? Like, why are you here? What are your beliefs? I can't wait for that episode. Whenever they drop that episode of We Find Out His Background, I think that's going to be one of the best episodes of the show. i agree.
02:00:08
Speaker
I think it is. Because I think so... You're not the only one. ah so many people that watch the show, me included, my wife, we're like, yo, and we need to know more about this dude because how did he get in this position? How did he, what, what happened?
02:00:21
Speaker
Where, where, where, how, how was he influenced to take this job? yeah And what are his motivations more than anything else? Cause that's the thing to is like, what are your motivations? Are you a double agent too? Cause you never know.
02:00:33
Speaker
What if he was sent by some sort of government authority to go into and infiltrate? Like, that's why, cause I agree with you. Is he doing things for the company or is he doing things to find out information to maybe pass it on yeah to somebody else? You know what I mean? Because in this world, there is this thing where you kind of see like people are trying to find out what's going on in this place.
02:00:55
Speaker
So, yo, that show is awesome, man. With, um, what's his name? John Totoro with the Audi, right? That's also a big mystery. Yeah. but Because I think he left, ah he left right?
02:01:07
Speaker
But that was a huge mystery with with his character because he was like talking to someone like on the phone as an Audi. Who is he talking to?
02:01:19
Speaker
Like when he's just like, oh, I think my innie knew what was going on in there. And I'm like, like and what is his back? Why was he drawing the elevator? like How did he know that?
02:01:30
Speaker
what He had that map with like had all this information. He's also a very mysterious character. There is. ah There's a lot. There's a lot lot of mystery there. But I also, I do want to give my flowers to Adam Scott. I think...
02:01:45
Speaker
so great He is, and that's why this season of of for Best Actor was very difficult for me because I didn't see the pit, but I can see why he won. But I could also would have been happy like if Adam Scott won too because his performance as these two, like Mark Audi and Mark Innie really feel like that episode when he was talking to himself.
02:02:10
Speaker
it was two It was two performances in one single episode. Like, he is so good. And that's why I'm very happy for this for him as an actor. Because, you know, normally I always see him as, like, the funny guy. You know, Parks and Rec, X, Step Brothers. He's always been, like, that, like, jerk.
02:02:28
Speaker
Like, that kind of character. So seeing him play this... has been like so fucking amazing. And he's, he's so good at playing like any Mark and Audi Mark where you understand both characters. And they also do feel like two different people. Like you're literally just like,
02:02:46
Speaker
a wonderful performance. You're rooting for both of them. You're rooting for both of them. you know it's physically impossible to root for both of them because in order for one to win, the other one has to lose.
02:02:58
Speaker
And it's such a... It's so tough. It's... Yo, man, I can't wait. what wait when that Ben Stiller said... I think Ben Stiller said... I think they're starting. I think they started shooting now. because think they're starting now, yeah. But he's not directing.
02:03:13
Speaker
but oh But can also give my flowers to Ben Stiller? Who knew? I had no idea he was a fucking fantastic director. Holy shit.
02:03:23
Speaker
You know, i read I saw something. I think it was on YouTube. Someone had posted something about Ben Stiller. And Ben Stiller said he had a career change because he had done Zoolander Part 2 and it was just critically panned.
02:03:35
Speaker
And he made the decision at that moment that he's never going to direct himself in anything again. He says he's either going to act in a movie or he's going to direct. But he's not going to do both. And part of me wonders, was this a project that he saw himself potentially maybe, before he made that decision, was this a project that he potentially saw himself maybe acting in?
02:03:55
Speaker
And when he made that decision, he was like, you know what? No, um this is a this is I'm creating this, but this is going to be for a particular actor. I'm just going to be strictly behind the scenes. Ben Stiller is amazing. Remember, Ben Stiller created one of the best comedies of all time in Tropic Thunder. That's his movie.
02:04:12
Speaker
He directed it. He wrote it. Oh, shit, Vilda. I always forget. that is ah man ster Ben Stiller is a very, very very talented man. And I hope that in the near future, Severance gets its flowers and it wins big, big. Where it wins Best Show.
02:04:29
Speaker
yeah And Stiller gets a nomination, I mean, ah an award for directing. like i He's awesome. And this show he's created is something that is... ah mine It's literally mindfuck. It is a mindfuck. I don't know. like I'm still like shocked. like I still don't even know like how I feel about this world. I can't stop watching how much of a mindfuck it is. It's scary, though.
02:04:54
Speaker
It's scary because- How can these characters... I love the innies. I really do love the innies characters so much. But then like I do want Mark to be with his wife.
02:05:05
Speaker
yeah But, you know, that's decision at the end. Like, I'm like, oh, my God. Spoiler alert. He didn't, he, like, stayed behind and didn't go out. And Jemma's, like, at the door. I was like, yo.
02:05:18
Speaker
Like, how do we go here? I can't wait. I can't wait to see that. Because if we got to see Jemma's going to go back into this real world. And she's dead.
02:05:28
Speaker
Like, yeah but what's this good But then also it's like, well, where do you, but i think I was listening to somebody's like doing a reaction and some thoughts about it and some people were saying like, well, maybe like the reason why, because at this point, right, like let's say he decides to, you know, he, at the end of the season, right, he stays with he he decides to go with Heli instead, right? And stays in the in in on the severed floor.
02:05:50
Speaker
But obviously they can't stay there forever, right? He's going to have to go out. So it's like like, was that his way of just being like, let's just spend this last moments together because after this, it's over anyway?
02:06:02
Speaker
Or like, what was the plan? Like him staying there, like what you can't stay here. You're going to have to go out and be unsevered at some point. And, you know, like, and and to me, there's just so much more mystery with that building. Like, how deep does this go?
02:06:18
Speaker
is this Is this building, like, is this building, like, almost kind of like a metaphor for hell? Because you're going down so many levels. Like, you're going down. Think about that for a minute. Like, you know, there's a lot of, yeah, I'm telling you, like, this show is, is and then my other thing is, like, what do, like, how, I'm about to really blow your mind right now.
02:06:39
Speaker
How do we know what's an innie and what's an outie? Because what if what if the town itself is also an innie world? And if you leave the limits of the town, you... You understand where I'm getting at?
02:06:53
Speaker
Oh... so Like, I think there's just a lot of mystery, but I love it because it's what makes the show more interesting. Again, it's a mystery box. Do you think... Well, this is something that um ah Rudy had always mentioned to me, and he's like, why is everything, like, why... Like, is the show meant to take place in the past?
02:07:16
Speaker
Because everything, like there's people people using pay phones. Everything is very, very like it's it's not modern time. But yet it was interesting because then they still have those like the, remember in the end of when they did the overtime contingency, that room that they were in still felt very high tech.
02:07:35
Speaker
It wasn't retro. Yeah, it was some LEDs, and there's cell phones in that world and everything. Yeah, but... I think there's a reason. I think there's a reasoning behind that. I think it's an aesthetic aspect of it, because there is something to a retro-futuristic kind of look, which I actually like. I really like. I like the fact that they're working on these computers that are...
02:07:56
Speaker
very analog, which kind of indicates that there is no outside communication. Everything is in internal. Yeah. ah So I think that's the reason for it, especially in that in when they're inies. There's no outer internet or anything like that.
02:08:11
Speaker
you know, everything is very self-contained. Yeah. Like the fruit that they always serve. Like you can tell that that's fruit that they grow somewhere in one of the rooms in some of the fields.
02:08:21
Speaker
Like there's, there's this, it's a very self-contained. It's almost literally like it's too, like i think they want to make you feel like it's two different worlds. Like this its own ecosystem.
02:08:33
Speaker
Down there is its own ecosystem and then up top it's its own ecosystem. It's just the in-between where there's the disconnect. So. Interesting. Yeah, man. I love that show. Yeah. It's something you can just keep chewing on and coming up with. I love it.
02:08:46
Speaker
thinking of theories, thinking of ideas, like yeah what's the thing. Oh, Rudy always goes, Mark. Because the way Patricia Arquette, which is also really good. She's great. She's so good. i mean, she's a great, she's a fantastic actress. But like, you know, also finding out that twist where like she's the one who created the severance, basically. She's the one who did everything.
02:09:10
Speaker
I still don't know what her motivations are either, though. I think she's still a little bit of a mystery. um Like, Like, oh, it's very, it's so, so. It's like a cult. It was a cult, though. Like, it seemed more. Oh, it's definitely a cult. I mean, like, I think in that episode when you see her, she, like, is, like, she has, like, her whole house is, like, all, like, culty and stuff. And they're, like, following it. And about Kier. That creepy. That was a creepy episode.
02:09:36
Speaker
It was very creepy. Yeah. yeah But then like when you... And then the episode, I think the one that focuses just on her when she goes to that place where it's a mystery again. You still don't know like what were they doing there?
02:09:47
Speaker
Who was this guy she was talking about? And the baby the lady that was pregnant, remember that she's like, oh, I didn't know I was pregnant. Like, you know, the one that that that she was... ah Oh, severed. Severed, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, she was severed. Well, I think that's the thing is like the birthing retreat is where yeah is where people go to have a baby and they're severed so they don't have to experience it.
02:10:05
Speaker
And then they go out and then they're like, oh, i already had my baby and I'm living my life. crazy, man. That's what it was. Which was like, that was like a crazy twist. I mean... That whole show was it was definitely a mindfuck. And it's still a mindfuck, especially with the way they make you really like think about, especially with the um even with Dylan and his innie and outie and the wife like falling like for the innie, but it's the same person, but not.
02:10:32
Speaker
It's just like you don't know. like yeah like and And the reintegration.
02:10:39
Speaker
written Oh my God. Reintegration. Reintegration. There we go. Like that is also interesting. Like how does that work? Like, so what you're going to have Mark's met, like you're in these memories and thoughts, but like Mark is in love with Heli in the inside, but Heli on the outside is technically a villain and he is married on the outside. Like how, how would that work? Right. That whole conversation when he was having with himself, which makes you as an audience member be like, Holy fuck. Like yeah like how, how,
02:11:08
Speaker
how Like, it can't work, but then... That's why I said it's hard because you're rooting for both of them, but you can't because one has... in order for one to win, one has to lose. Yeah. Yeah. Shit, man. Oh, it was that was that was good. It was a fantastic show. I could be on talking about this one forever, too. Oh, my God. So good.
02:11:26
Speaker
But um yeah. So let's hope in the future, you know, that that Severance gets its turn and and gets its flowers at some point. um they will I do hope that for, you know, for Adam Scott. I hope that for for ah Ben Stiller, which but he's not directing.
02:11:43
Speaker
Next season. He's producing. He's only executive producing, which he still means you still have control there. but yeah Because I don't think he directed every episode anyway. No, he didn't. No, he didn't. I think he directed. I think the show's in good hands regardless. Yeah.
02:11:56
Speaker
yeah, So I'm just excited for that to come back. Hopefully they don't make us wait too long. Yeah, hopefully not. But we will see because things weird. never know. You never know. So...
02:12:07
Speaker
so But anyway, guys, this was a fantastic episode, a long one.
