[00:00:00] I'm Sean and I'm Ian and this is the only podcast that says You're out! Finish it, Faber! Expelled! I want you off campus by 9am Monday morning and I've contacted your local draft boards and told them that you're all eligible for military service. I love Animal House!
[00:00:57] That is maybe one of my all time... As far as comedy is going, it's like Animal House and Caddy Shack are like one in one A to me. Airplanes there, like the first airplane movie.
[00:01:21] Animal House and Caddy Shack are two of the funniest movies that have ever been made. Period! End of story. You know what I mean? And people are like, oh that's horrible! How dare you! It's fucking funny to me. It is, I'm sorry.
[00:01:45] I have watched both of those movies a hundred times each and I laugh my ass off every single fucking time I watch them. Right, right. You know. How are you, sir? I'm good, I'm a little tired but I'm okay. Yeah. Yeah? I know the feeling.
[00:02:04] I know the feeling. I actually had to get up early to let the dog out today. Nice. I mean like, ugh. And tomorrow, I'm getting up early so I can take that same dog. We're watching Nancy's sister's dog. Right. His name is Oliver.
[00:02:23] I think he's a golden retriever or a lad. I'm not quite sure what the fuck. He's a big fucking moose. Right. Who leaves big fucking moose shits. But like tomorrow, like he's bored. Like in my yard there's nowhere for him to run. Right.
[00:02:40] He must have been lead outside. He has a big yard he can play and he plays in the neighbor's yard because they have kids that they're all friends. And like he has an area he can run around with our house so I'm taking him out on a leash
[00:02:53] so he can do what he has to do when I bring him back in. Right. You know, there's some play being done but I mean it's not like what he's used to. Right. So I'm taking him to the park tomorrow.
[00:03:03] I'm taking him to the dog park so he can run his ass off for a little bit. Right. You know, like just, I know you're bored. And the worst part is we're watching him for a fucking month.
[00:03:11] Nancy's sister's in Italy visiting her son who's in the Air Force and stationed in Italy right now. Mm-hmm. And so she went to visit him and that's cool and all but it's like, it's a fucking month. It's a month of me with a dog. Right.
[00:03:24] You know, I am not prepared for a month with me and a dog. Right. Right. It completely upsets my ecosystem completely. Like Sabine's pissed, Darby's not happy. Plus we've got Sylvester the cat.
[00:03:36] So like it's just a full menagerie in my house and I'm just like, uh, it's turned this fucking arc around. Right. Right. Chaos. Yeah. Pure chaos. But I mean, like other people are going to be like, oh, dogs are so amazing.
[00:03:54] And I'm not saying dogs are bad but man they are not for me as far as like caring upkeep. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like when you're a dog, you've had a cat, you know, you've had dogs your entire life. So have I for the most part.
[00:04:11] Like when I was a kid, my parents always had dogs. But like when you're a kid, like even like when I was gotten to my 20s, I wasn't taking care of that dog. My parents did. Yeah. Yeah.
[00:04:22] I made sure he had food and they fed him and everything. Like all that worse shit with dogs, man. It's it's with a cat. It's like so self contained. Yeah. You know, like, like, and the worst part is like my day.
[00:04:37] My entire day was wrapped around the dog. Right. Like I left to do my shopping and stuff and I was like, I gotta make sure I'm home by such and such time that I got the dog out. Right.
[00:04:51] You know, like, well with a cat it's like, you know, I could be gone all fucking day as long as I fed them before I left. Make sure they got food and water in their bowl. They're fine. Yeah.
[00:05:00] You know, I could be gone for a full 24 hours and they're like, you know where the fuck were you? I'm gone for three hours. I'd come in and doggy. Oh, I never thought you were coming back. Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness. I'm so happy to see you.
[00:05:13] I'm so happy to see you. Like, what the fuck down did? Yeah, what's happened? I'm sorry. I know, I know, but it's just not what I'm like. Like, I'm just learning like I like dogs. I like visiting people who have dogs. I don't want a dog. Right.
[00:05:27] That's that's what I've learned by watching Oliver. Yeah. Yeah. Dog ownership is not for me at all. Right. But I mean, I'm not saying like, you know, people who do like God bless you. You know what I mean? Right.
[00:05:42] Like because like especially if you have a big dog, right? I guess if you have a smaller dog, you put down the pads and stuff. No, if they're trained, that's what they do. You know, but if you've had a bigger dog, you can't do that.
[00:05:54] Like, you know, you've got to let that dog out. Otherwise you've got a human sized pile sitting in your kitchen. She's never gone in the house. No. She's never been in the house. I might even piss. She's not she hasn't done anything in this house. Yeah.
[00:06:08] But there's usually always somebody here. Yeah, we've left her max eight hours and she hasn't done it. Yeah. But she did. I mean, she had to go outside. Yeah. Like when you got home, it was like, you know, the first thing you did was let the dog out.
[00:06:24] Yeah, she's completely housebroken. Yeah. She won't. Yeah. Remy on the other. But like, but I watched Remy. Like I, I, I, I stayed in this house for a week and watched Remy for you.
[00:06:37] And I mean, and that wasn't bad because like, I guess the difference is like with Remy, like I could put him outside or with row, you can, because your yard is fenced in my yard isn't. Yeah.
[00:06:50] So like, I can't just let the dog out for like an hour. Right. You know, like with, with Remy, one of those times I watched like I would go to work and come back and, you know, she was alone for eight hours. He didn't do anything.
[00:07:04] But I'd love, you know, the first thing you do is let him out. Yeah. You know, if you didn't let him out, like, you know, that was problems. Yeah. You know, but that was the first thing you had to do. Like, okay, Remy, I said you ought.
[00:07:15] But like other than that, like it, I think that's the easy part of like with your house is because it's fenced in my yard isn't like I just can't. Yeah. Let it go. You know. You actually walk. Yeah. I had a pain in the ass. Yeah.
[00:07:32] I actually have to put him on a leash and we go outside and I have a spot that I want him to use in my yard, you know, and then that way I know where everything's at. Yeah. You know, I'm going to search him. Yeah.
[00:07:44] I don't have to like walk the entire yard. Like, oh, is there any poop over here? Is there any? Nope. Nope. I've got a spot he knows it. But yeah, man. If you're a dog owner, like I salute you because it is that is the ultimate dedication.
[00:08:02] Like it's the reason I don't have children. I don't have that dedication. Right. You know, I don't have a dedication for a dog. My dedication goes as far as cat. Right. You know, and cats are kind of self contained. Like I scoop their litter once a day.
[00:08:17] You know, yeah, I think it fed. I can make sure they got food in their bowl. I give them wet food and first thing. Food, water. They are set for the rest of the day. Right. Like they won't even like acknowledge you the rest of the day.
[00:08:32] You know, yeah, you did your job. Thank you. You know, so that's been my week and I'll be the next three three or so weeks. Yeah. So have you watched anything interesting? It doesn't take a big gulp of silence. Yeah. No. Nothing. I can watch some sewer game.
[00:09:09] Damn. I think I watched something else but I don't think I did. I don't watch Black Adam. Yeah. That's about it. Well, today on HBO Max or Max I guess. Blue Beetle became available. Thank God. And I watched that. How was that? It is very good. Really?
[00:09:51] It is. I'm not going to tell you it's a great movie. It's not a perfect movie but it is much better than like Black Adam and even Shazam. The second Shazam movie which I thought was okay. This was really, really good. I really enjoyed it.
[00:10:10] There's a lot of it I liked. There are some things I didn't like but there was something that they did that I was very happy about because I thought the history of Blue Beetle like this is the... I can't pronounce it. Jamie Reyes.
[00:10:34] And he has like this scarab that attaches to him that makes him the Blue Beetle but the original Blue Beetle was a guy named Ted Kord who was rather Batman like. He didn't have super powers but he was really smart.
[00:10:52] He was an inventor so he was using inventions. He was making his own inventions like create his equipment and stuff and he was a really cool character. And then they killed him off and then they kind of rebooted with Heine. And I mean it made sense.
[00:11:12] It was the 90s. They wanted to bring in a Latino character and they did it in a way that made sense and I wasn't... But like going into the movie I thought for sure like they're not going to mention Ted Kord.
[00:11:26] Like it's going to be all about Jamie or Heine or however you pronounce it. I'm sorry I'm awful at that shit. Just say Jamie. Jamie yeah. Okay. And Ted Kord plays... Even though Ted Kord is not in the movie, Ted Kord plays a major role in the movie.
[00:11:47] Which I liked a lot. Like it was like this amazing tip of the hat to the past that I was like oh that is so cool. That's cool. Yeah. But I enjoyed the movie. I like the themes of the movie.
[00:12:02] I like the way it kind of plays out. There's a lot to like... I think you'll enjoy it. Okay. I really do. It's one of those things where like I just thought it was really, really well done. That's cool. I was very... I went in with minimum hopes.
[00:12:19] Like I lowered the bar. Even though the trailers look good, I was just at a point where I was like well, I mean Black Adam was blah. You know Shazam was okay. Like... I don't like the Black Adam's parts of it.
[00:12:35] Yeah but it doesn't like quite completely work. You know what I mean? Like it just misses the mark somehow. I like the way he looked. Yeah. I mean there was a lot about like how... Visually. How Blaine played Black Adam. Okay that works a lot. Yeah.
[00:12:55] You know but there like from a story standpoint I was just like, this is just meh. Yeah I think that like he really acted pretty good as Black Adam. I thought... Yeah. I thought the visuals were okay. Yeah. I think they were bad at all. I liked...
[00:13:16] The parts I liked about Black Adam was that it was... Especially when he came out of the cave. Yeah. You know or even when he was in the cave. Yeah. He just grabbed that guy and fucking melted him. I'm like what is this? Yeah. This isn't your uh...
[00:13:36] No. PG uh... You know, Superhero movie here. Right. And he just started laying a waist. I was like oh shit he just put a grenade in that motherfucker's mouth. Yeah. And he was like that's fucking awesome. Yeah. You know and then the electric bolts coming from his hand
[00:13:56] and going through each one of those people. Yeah. By the end of that slow sequence it just explodes every single one of those people. I was like oh this guy is fucking all power. I was like this guy is bad ass. I was pumped man. Yeah.
[00:14:10] I just watched it again but it's worth it just for that opening scene. Yeah. I just like that opening. But you're right the rest of the story is just kind of gay. It just goes off the rails a little bit. I'm just like alright.
[00:14:22] You know get back to putting grenades in people's mouths. Yeah. Like Pierce Brosnan was okay. Which they could have developed that a lot better than what they did. Yeah. I mean that's the problem with that character is very intricate and very in depth and
[00:14:35] very deep and deserves a better treatment than what he receives in that movie. Yeah. Hawkman was okay. Yeah but I liked Hawkman. Yeah. I liked the look of Hawkman. I liked the way the wings looked like you know so there's a lot in there that I like but
[00:14:50] like there was a lot that I just was like it's just a little hard. Yeah. This is just missing the mark a little bit. You know. Yeah. But the look of them was just the suit, the way the Shazam the whole thing. Yeah. Looked amazing. Yeah.
[00:15:07] I mean at least I thought so. Yeah. That was cool. Thank God. And the brutality. Yeah. It was just like I'm in. Yeah. You know it's sort of like the opening sequence of Star Wars. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah.
[00:15:23] Where they're busting through that fucking door with two lightsabers. So I'm like oh it's on. Yeah. And then it just kind of get let down. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. But I don't know.
[00:15:34] But then you get that after credit sequence with Henry Cavill and you're just like oh shit it's on. I know that would be good though. Oh. Yeah. I agree. I mean that Black Adam versus Superman would have been amazing because Black Adam would
[00:15:53] have had like because he's magic. Yeah. He stands a chance against Superman because Superman is a weakness to magic. Right. So like. And Black Adam's tough as nails. Yeah. I mean like. Yeah. Very similar powers. Right. To Superman. Right. He's pretty much indestructible aside from. Yeah.
[00:16:15] Whatever that shit was. Yeah. And I mean like that would have been like a fantastic like fight. Oh man. You know but that's the thing is things is like you don't get that. Right. You know.
[00:16:31] And it kind of that hyped you for that like oh shit here we go. Yeah. I think that could have been a really well done film. Yeah. You know hoping DC would have done it right. But I think that film would have been like really good. Yeah.
[00:16:44] Just from the effects they were showing in Black Adam. Yeah. You know what I mean. Like I think that they could have pulled that off. I think him and Cavill would have been a good. Yeah. You know opposites attract type of thing. Right. Going on. But yeah.
[00:17:01] So Black Adam sort of an anti here right. Yeah. Technically he I mean he was a villain for a long time. He's he's Shazam's arch nemesis right. Yeah. Like he's like the other side of the coin is Shazam. Right.
[00:17:19] Because it was the same wizard who gave Black Adam power that gave Shazam power. So where did he go awry. Why didn't he not fill the Shazam. Well I mean originally he was Shazam correct. Well I mean he created him to be just as Shazam.
[00:17:36] In a way like the wizard saw the potential in him to see to get the power but he was so corrupted by. You know hatred and revenge because of what happened to his family that you know. He goes astray.
[00:17:53] Now I mean I think in the original comic book I mean he's like a prince and shit. Okay. Like you know there's a whole like he's like he's also like a 13 year old boy when he says Shazam he becomes Black Adam. Right.
[00:18:09] And but he has like the he's like the prince of this this country that's like you know and again like you know the bloodlust is where he's gone astray so he becomes the other side of the coin where Shazam Captain Marvel with what he was originally called. Right.
[00:18:27] You know. More pure. Yeah more pure that's what the wizard was really looking for. Yeah. He was tricked by Black Adam but later on he finds you know Billy Bastion and sees the good and Billy Bastion gives him the power of Shazam.
[00:18:45] It breaks down like a Shazam is actually an acronym. It's like the strength of Hercules. Like someone knows like the speed of Mercury is the end. Like it each of his powers is defined by the Greek gods and or the Demi gods Zeus lightning.
[00:19:07] Yeah like it's how Shazam is spelled I can't remember exactly how all plays out there. Yeah that's cool. Yeah but Blue Beal like I think you'll really enjoy it. I'm trying to like I like to talk about it more in depth but I really like I don't want
[00:19:27] to ruin it for you. Right I'm watching. Yeah but it was highly entertaining I really really enjoyed it and I think anybody out there like you know I'm not going to tell you it's the greatest movie ever or anything
[00:19:38] but it was it was a very enjoyable superhero movie. It had some interesting twists to it that I liked and like I'm kind of glad Gunn and Saffron and not like said that you know that character is going to carry on in the DCU.
[00:20:03] Okay so that kind of makes me happy. I like to see especially based upon the the big credit stinger like where is this going. Yeah yeah that's cool. Yeah so I watched that and last night I watched the first two episodes of Monarch which is
[00:20:26] on Apple TV and it is this is a show that's basically taking place like one year after the 2015 Godzilla you know attack on San Francisco. But it flashes back to like the 50s and like the beginnings of Monarch and you know what
[00:20:53] Monarch is now and it's a very the first two episodes were really really really good. Yeah I really enjoyed them. And like Godzilla is definitely a presence and I mean you're seeing Godzilla in the flashback
[00:21:11] like the one character I mean she's suffering from a bad case of PTSD because she was on the Golden Gate Bridge when Godzilla came tearing through. You know and so like you're getting like you're not giving like a full blown Godzilla movie
[00:21:34] but there are definitely like Godzilla is a presence because what's happening in current the current day of the 2016 2015 whatever it is you know Godzilla is a major presence without being there. Right like you know at one point they're in Tokyo and they're having
[00:22:00] like there's like an alert like there's a a tight and alert and everybody goes running for shelters like these underground shelters and stuff and so like and of course because of this she's having a panic attack. Yeah you know like it's it's it's so like if you're
[00:22:20] expecting like every episode to be like a you know oh shit goes down there's Godzilla at the end you're not gonna get that. Yeah but it's it's made the human aspect of these movies more
[00:22:34] interesting. Okay if that makes any sense. Yeah because I mean there are it's all dealing with Godzilla stuff. It's dealing with the Titans, it's dealing with Muto's, it's dealing with all this stuff, it's there, it's very very upfront and present but you're not getting
[00:22:54] the big guy like maybe you're gonna get the big guy in like the final couple of episodes. Yeah he shows up for some reason but other than that like he is just like this shadow of a presence which I kind of like
[00:23:08] and the story that they're telling is very interesting and I think what's also very interesting is you know in the 1950s the character the one character is being played by Kurt Russell's son
[00:23:18] and I've seen characters being played by Kurt Russell in modern day. Yeah yeah so and I mean and the kid like has like the Kurt Russell mannerisms and stuff but even kind of the way he talks a little bit
[00:23:32] is very Kurt Russell like. I don't know if he's trying to imitate his dad or if that's how he really is but he's a chip off your block. Yeah you know I mean like I'm always looking at this kid going
[00:23:44] maybe we could do some snake plisken movies. Yeah you know so like I'm but I'm enjoying it like I'm really really enjoying Monarch. The first two episodes were fantastic. I will say this much
[00:24:00] and I'm not one to show like this. If you've been looking for if you're in the if you're into the monster verse and you're looking for a reason to get Apple TV this is the reason I mean there is
[00:24:14] other stuff to watch like you know like there's the the Mamoa show where everybody's blind that was a very good show. Ted Lassa is good. The morning show is very good. The one foundation
[00:24:29] is very good. They have a lot of really really good TV shows but this is worth the price of admission. This show right here is like you know if you're looking like get Apple TV because you want to see
[00:24:43] this show but then all the other stuff kind of falls into place for you. Yeah that makes sense. Yeah so yeah I've really really been from mankind to from mankind season four is playing is up
[00:24:55] right now and that's two episodes and that's also been very very good. Yeah so before we jump any further I do want to acknowledge my tribal chief. There are three people I Terry got that joke. I want to acknowledge the absolute ass whipping I took last week
[00:25:26] in fantasy football. Okay now I'm on a two game losing streak. Okay I lost to Otter he beat me 112 to 91. Okay my has some guys who didn't perform the way I wanted to you know but overall
[00:25:45] like that's not a bad bad beat down. Yeah no last week I had to play store. Okay now I'm not going to make excuses because even if I had if I started people who were on my bench
[00:26:00] I still would have lost. He kicked my ass 179 to 105. Wow yeah like he had 21 fucking points from his kicker like 21 fucking points from his kicker. Yeah it was like I'm looking at the score and like in the worst part was like so he's got like guys like
[00:26:32] Dak Prescott and CD Lam. Those guys by the skulls cells were 75 points. Yeah those two guys were 75 points. Yeah you know and you throw in TJ Hawkinson who had like a career day. Yeah like a Hall of Fame career day with another 25 points so three guys put
[00:26:53] them up at 100 points. Yeah right off the bat. Yeah you know and then you throw in his kicker thrown in another 21 like so like essentially I got outscored by three guys right you know and then like everybody else was just icing on the cake so yes I
[00:27:11] acknowledge you Stork I acknowledge the ass whooping that you gave me a fancy football I acknowledge it you now lead the league at 8 and 2 while I am in second place at 7 and 3, Otter's in third place at 7 and 3 and team misfits sneaking in at 5 and 5
[00:27:29] in that fourth and final playoff spot right now. Jason's fluffers are also 5 and 5 at 6, the fighting sanduskies at 4 and 6 come in seventh place I thought once again that I thought this was the year for you clearly it is not. Clark Harris
[00:27:53] is mustaches 3 and 7, the floppy beavers are 3 and 7 and hello Jeff is also 3 and 7 so there you go. Yeah I had a pretty good week last week too. Yeah alright so I don't want to go on another sports travel because we've been doing that for
[00:28:31] the last couple weeks but I didn't want to acknowledge that Stork completely annihilated me. I'm hoping to get back on the other right path here this week. Yeah I had a pretty good week myself. Did you? Yeah.
[00:28:51] I got me to pull the app back up. Yeah pull mine. Let's see here. So sorry about that. What's the silence there? I know you want to hear that. Let's see here. Um league matchups on week 10.
[00:29:25] Yeah you uh put a whooping the old order there 161 to 97. That was a good week. Yeah. Warned on me 18 points. That's crazy right? Yeah. Well that's 1-8. Yeah I'm on Ross St.
[00:29:53] the Sun God he blew up for you. Mike Evans. Yeah. Gibbs had a good... Everyone had a good week. Yeah. Weird. And I started Gene. Alright sorry about that. Nancy's been paying my ass. I want to watch
[00:30:19] Apple TV and I have to help her get logged on. So but like I said I don't want to be sports centric today. Okay. Um but and there was some uh some news that was released this week
[00:30:36] uh that I found very very interesting. I'll help get your take on it. Okay. Um it's been I don't know if it's been announced but it's basically been confirmed that Pedro Pascal will be playing Reed Richards. Oh really? Yes. Interesting. And apparently this hasn't been
[00:31:00] confirmed but apparently they're approaching Mads Mickelson to play Dr. Doom. Okay. So I just got to confirm one first like Pedro Pascal is Reed Richards. How are you on that? Well
[00:31:14] he's proven actor so. Yeah I'm good with that. Keep it in the house I guess. In a way yeah yeah. I'm okay with it. Yeah. Graham up a little bit on the sides. Yeah. Yeah. I mean the only thing I hope like
[00:31:32] I mean and this is funny but he's got like that patchy beard thing that like so I'm gonna hope you like just you know goes with like a fully clean shave and look for Reed. Yeah. So I mean I know like
[00:31:47] there are times where Reed like there are some versions of Reed Richards where he's got the beard. Yeah. And I think that's a cool look but Pedro can't pull that off. Yeah. But uh otherwise I like I kind of dug
[00:32:01] the casting as well I thought that yeah that's that's not a bad choice. Yeah. I mean it's a little outside the box but um outside of like you know ethnicity like which doesn't bother me
[00:32:17] like I'm like okay cool whatever. Yeah. I mean like he's a he is a solid actor. Right. You know and he's he's a kind of a proven commodity in the sci-fi fantasy genre. So that's pull him into this genre
[00:32:37] you know and I think you know you're right like you know you grab the temples. Yeah. You know and I think he's a solid choice there. Yeah I think it'll be fun. Yeah. I mean he can act. Yeah. So I mean like
[00:32:52] anyway good choice. Yeah and what would you think of Mads Mickelson is doing? Mads Mickelson for Fresh My Memory. What am I? Um he he okay he played the scientist um he played
[00:33:08] the genersos Galen Arsow in Rogue One. The genersos dad beginning of the movie. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah pretty good a little bit older but I think like with my timeline I guess they are already established.
[00:33:28] I would hope so like I hope we're not do I mean cuz Pedro Pascal's too old to be playing Reed Richards brand on out of the box. Yeah. You know what I mean? Right. I agree.
[00:33:40] But like I kind of like hope and like like my hope is like it's like you're casting Mads Mickelson Yeah. For his presence. Like he's the type of guy who who will like he's got that voice. Yeah.
[00:33:59] You know I think with this voice very similar to the guy who plays Thrawn because that's his brother. Yeah. Um in Ahsoka. Yeah. Like you know it's that presence about him. Okay. Like you know what I mean?
[00:34:15] Like he like his voice like I can see his voice as the voice of Doom. Yeah. You know what I mean? And I think that's the big thing like so hopefully like we get an actor who's willing to just put that
[00:34:30] mask on and keep it on. Yeah. You know what I mean? And give us. Yeah. Like Trent. Yeah. Yeah. I'm watching at the end of the video. Oh. Oh. That movie is so fucking good. But then he kept that mask on the whole time.
[00:34:46] He did. I never feel like I saw an interview with him. He's like I've does he ever take the helmet off? Oh. He's like okay I'm in. Yeah. Like that was his one like because he is a big fan. Right. Right.
[00:35:01] And he was like if he if he's taking the helmet off I'm not having any part of it. Yeah. Yeah. And then he's not taking the helmet off. Like I'm in now. Yeah. But yeah it sounds good. That was it on the casting.
[00:35:13] That's all I've heard. Yeah. It's not like anybody else. But I mean if they're getting Mickelson to play Doom I'm cool with that. Just because like I said I mean I think you're hiring somebody just for their presence. Yeah. Maybe like you even like like he's already established.
[00:35:36] We don't get Victor Von Doom. Yeah. That whole backstory. Yeah. I'm hoping we don't get a backstory with this. I'm hoping they place I'm hoping they place this within the timeline of the multiverse and coming into it and already established fantastic for.
[00:35:57] I don't want a backstory yet. Yeah. I don't want to start over. No I see these films. They know the backstory but whatever backstory they decide to create for this group.
[00:36:10] I would like you could do it kind of like they did. You go all the way back to the Hulk movie with Edward Norton. Yeah.
[00:36:19] We kind of got that story in the credits. Yeah. You know what I mean. Like OK here's the credit. Oh this is important. This is important.
[00:36:27] So become the Hulk. OK we're caught up. Yeah. Yeah. Like give me that. Like give me like the brief. Yeah. You know yeah I just don't need.
[00:36:38] You can even do like a de-aging thing. The only problem becomes you end up getting that question asked like where the fuck were they when when Thanos came in knocking.
[00:36:50] That's the whole multiverse. I understand that but you're not playing in the multiverse. Well we are aren't we. Maybe not. No from Loki. Yeah.
[00:37:04] Yeah. Well then that completely disrupts what they've been doing for the past fucking four years. Yeah we've been playing around with a multiverse in order to introduce characters within the multiverse.
[00:37:17] Right. You have to you can't tell me you cannot tell me you can't that in this in this state where the Avengers and Thanos were going to war that you cannot tell me that Xavier
[00:37:32] wouldn't know about all of this going on and you know that Xavier would be the first one out to try to help. So I mean like you can't it can't play like that if it does I will be disappointed for sure.
[00:37:44] Right. You're right. And that's but I mean like OK so even before you like you start talking about the multiverse the first time you hear the word mutant is in Miss Marvel.
[00:37:59] Agreed. No that's because they got the rights finally. Right but I'm just saying like from but from that standpoint they're already establishing it that mutants exist in a way.
[00:38:11] Understood. But I just then then endgame doesn't make sense to me because if I'm telling you that the X men would have been there to fight Thanos.
[00:38:25] Right. In some way shape or fashion because Xavier would have known about all this. You understand what I mean. Right. And then you talk about I'm not going to go into Illuminati but I mean
[00:38:38] But here's the problem. You get into you know read Richards and you know you're pulling all these people you're just going to leave out the four and
[00:38:48] right you're just going to leave out the Marvel's X men. Right. I mean like you can say the same thing about like the Eternals like it was like what the fuck were you and Thanos came to town.
[00:38:58] Yeah. Well they kind of explain that but also nobody's explained the fucking giant Titan coming out of Pacific Ocean since then have that. No. No. You know like that hasn't even been a fucking addressed.
[00:39:12] But like the problem here. The problem is is a real life problem not a cinematic problem and that is the guy who plays Kang is an all sorts of legal trouble. So now it sucks because he was so good.
[00:39:31] Yeah. I mean like even in in fucking on Loki he's in Loki because I was shot well before the legal troubles came around. He's fantastic. What kind of legal
[00:39:46] I can't. I don't have. Yeah. I haven't pursued it because I don't I hate going down that hole anymore but I mean part of what they've been saying is I mean the guy who directed the Eternals and was supposed to work the guy directed Shang Chi and was supposed to direct the Kang dynasty Avengers
[00:40:07] Kang dynasty he's backed out. And Marvel like the rumor is Marvel is looking at possibly changing Kang dynasty to something about doom. Making doom the ultimate villain.
[00:40:28] And it's like that thing of like well dooms a different villain. He is we're not talking about like you know we're not talking about interdimensional beings now right we're talking about doom doom yeah no you can go to an
[00:40:52] interdimensional things right but what I'm saying is like you're talking about not someone from outer space. Right. I don't know how else to describe it. Right. Do you know there's no intergalactic threat.
[00:41:08] He is doom. Right. But I mean he's above Red Skull level right. I mean he's he's above. He's as far as our planet wise he's probably one of the most powerful villains. He's the ultimate villain. Yeah. Like he on from a planetary standpoint he is the ultimate
[00:41:32] villain. Yeah I mean like Red Skull is just a pebble compared to death. Yeah you know what I mean like you know I mean even Red Skull would be like yeah you could take this one. Right. You know what I mean like he's kind of like the Lex Luthor.
[00:41:48] Yeah. But powerful. Right. More powerful. Yeah. You know what I mean. Yeah he's only the dictator his own country. I mean he's he has diplomatic immunity. He's intelligent. Yeah. You know what I mean like he's
[00:42:01] all these things. Yeah. You know but it's it is thirst for power is just right. Unimaginable. He'll do anything. Yeah. To get the power. Right. So I mean I but it's like is he an Avengers level threat. Or a but we mean is he an
[00:42:24] Avengers level threat or is he above an Avengers level threat. Well no I'm just saying is he at that like because it becomes like we've kind of established what an Avengers level threat is like you need the Avengers when like with the exception of like
[00:42:41] Ultron Ultron was the Avengers problem not a threat. Yeah it's a problem you know but like the only time the Avengers have like assembled in a movie has been like OK Loki's knocked a hole in the universe using the
[00:43:01] Tester the Tesseract and you know we've not got an alien invasion in New York City. You know we have a guy who's coming in collecting the Tesseract. Yeah yeah you know because he is trying to destroy half the universe.
[00:43:20] Yeah that's what I mean like I agree. I mean Doom is not a Galactus. No that's the type of level. Yeah but. Be some. I mean you never know what's up their sleeve right and you never know what's up Doom's sleeve
[00:43:37] right. So you don't know who he's been cohorting with right in order to build an army right to get the whatever power that he's searching for right do you know what I mean yeah because he doesn't really you know I know what you're saying but he's not it's
[00:43:55] not going to be solo Doom. Right on an Avengers level right there's got to be more players to the you know what I mean right that makes any sense. Like when they if they ever do a secret wars.
[00:44:11] See in the secret wars those teams have already been developed. Yeah well not developed. Yeah I placed yeah right.
[00:44:20] Doom takes the head right yeah and so those those powers of B they've already created the teams so now Doom has to create his team right of underlings in order to be able to fight you know what I mean. No I just don't know what the threat is going to be like what is he after
[00:44:40] what's what's the new what is it going to be. I don't know. But like also do you do something on the lines of like how you know at the end of the comic book Civil War. Yeah like that was Norman Osborn was assembling
[00:45:02] like his own like version of the legion of Doom. Yeah it was like it was Doctor Doom it was Red Skull it was like it was like a group of them and like they took out Captain America. They assassinated Captain America at the end of Civil War and shit
[00:45:17] like there was a whole thing that happened it was because of Norman Osborn and that ushered in like the Dark Avengers and all this other stuff that kind of replaced that time period until they decided to bring Cap back right
[00:45:30] and like could that be something that they're looking to do like do instead of being Norman Osborn the head is Doom at the head but now you're introducing Norman Osborn as Green Goblin and you know like they do like not not so much a sinister six
[00:45:51] but like what kind of like something like that right where Doom is the head of it and these are you know I'm using Norman Osborn his resources and his intelligence to develop technology to do this this and then Red Skull's army and yeah all that kind of shit. Yeah
[00:46:07] I'm making but there's also secret invasion but they already just did that and it sucked. Yeah but they can still use pieces of what they need. What I'm saying if you're assembling right you know what I mean like if you're
[00:46:24] like I'm not gonna we can't go on books right at this point I understand that but like like secret invasion was so bad. No I know like I almost refused to acknowledge it. I'm really good. The comic. The comic was amazing. Yeah. But that series that show was asked. Yeah it was.
[00:46:53] Well there you get see see now now now you're on my level as far as why I was so disappointed in X-Men. Right. The secret invasion was good the book. Yeah the books right great it was a great run. Right. But when you do something that's so terrible to the book you know what I mean. Right.
[00:47:19] And that's how I felt about the X-Men series. But don't even especially the Phoenix on it. Yeah. Both Phoenix movies were horrible X-Men 3 and. The yeah I mean that. Especially that last one like that that one.
[00:47:41] With that like the only good thing is say that movies. Yeah. Yeah and I mean in that really doesn't work. Like that movie so it was a fair with the movie that shut up in a. Yeah I mean that movie is that fucking bad.
[00:47:58] Was it X-Men Last Stand. Last Stand was the one yeah that was the but I mean like there was a last one. The feet the feet. I didn't even watch it. Yeah I mean it's horrible like I know I know my I know the Phoenix or what or Phoenix.
[00:48:14] Rise. Yeah I didn't even watch it. Yeah I'll have to. I know it's the Phoenix something rather and it is just fucking all. Yeah I didn't watch it. I don't think I did. Dark Phoenix. The last one I watch was apocalypse. Yeah. Now it's bad.
[00:48:49] Look of Sylocke was good. Yeah. And fastbender was good. Fastbender seems to always say these movies. He does. I mean what's his name is good too. Yeah but not as good as fastbender. Yeah I mean.
[00:49:06] That scene in the woods with fastbender. Oh yeah could be if they made every fucking X-Men movie like that. Yeah that is what it's but that's like.
[00:49:17] That's like the true essence of Magneto. Yeah you know what I mean. When I saw that I was like. He just plays Magneto so perfectly conflicted person. He does and the acting is absolutely fantastic.
[00:49:32] Like I far be anything away anything from Ian McKellan. Yeah amazing actor. He did a fantastic job as Magneto with the material he was given but like he never and not and he not even in like a days of future past that that version of Magneto feel like a conflicted like fastbender plays him so well is like somebody who like.
[00:49:59] He did the only conflict that you saw from Magneto for me and McKellan was with Charles. Yeah which makes sense makes sense and it played into the story very well right but they were also friends in real life.
[00:50:15] Right. So that added to being able to completely relay right the relationship between the two right and so on that stuff like when he ends with the game of chess when when he breaks out using the guy's iron from his blood yeah
[00:50:33] Yeah. Unfucking believable. Yeah for real right I was like mind blown I mean those were good scenes but it always seems that the scenes that are good are with Magneto. Do you know what I mean. Yeah.
[00:50:49] Charles is good. In many cases the most interesting character is usually the villain. Yeah and we always say if the villain has a leg to stand on like if you can honestly say man he's got a point yeah and Magneto has a point is just the way he's going about it that you're like you can't do that.
[00:51:11] Thanos had a point. I just didn't know what he was doing when when he was in the first Black Panther movie. Yeah. Jordan's character. Yeah dude had a point. Yeah. No I know. Yeah and that makes the best villain because you're like fuck he's right but he did it so many times in the film. Yeah.
[00:51:31] Yeah when fastbender goes when he starts when he's talking to Charles. Yeah I don't know if it's on the plane I can't remember. Yeah in days of future past and he's talking. And he's like he's listening names like and the fucking the planes. Yeah and he's pissed. Yeah I mean you can see it you can see
[00:51:51] Yeah. Emotionally in this actor's body you can see that he's upset. Yeah. Because he's lost all of these people that were close to him and just there are moments like that where it's like man this is what the X-Men should be. You know what I mean like this is what. Yeah.
[00:52:12] This is what it's supposed to be like days of future past I thought was really good. I like days of future past. Yeah I thought that was a really an excellent X-Men film. I did too like people were they're people who are like oh it's awful. I disagree. I disagree. That was a really really good move. I mean you can oh you can't like you can't get into the back stories a lot of the characters you can't get into the back story of Bishop and yeah you know what I mean the Indian guy I mean you just don't get into the back story.
[00:52:42] You just can't there's not enough time in the movie. Right. But you got to see their powers on what they can do. Right. You know what I mean because I remember in the comics when Bishop was first introduced. Yeah. You know what I mean. So I don't know I mean I always got pissed that they never developed havoc enough.
[00:52:59] You know what I mean like they they glazed over so many characters and focus so much on Wolverine and I get it right. I mean Wolverine he was the star of the comics as well but there's some really interesting and dynamic characters within the X-Men universe and there's some fluff characters to like Jubilee and Dazzler and all that bullshit. Yeah.
[00:53:19] That happened but there's some really colossus is an excellent character. Yeah. But there's some really good characters just to name a few. Right. I mean there's all all. Yeah. Kitty pride. Yeah. I mean there's some really dynamic characters within the X-Men universe that they just kind of fluffed over and just and they just so hard focused on Charles Wolverine and Magneto that they left everybody in the dust.
[00:53:46] Wolverine Sabertooth is actually a really interesting character. Yeah. They developed somewhat in Wolverine. Yeah. He was done. He was done in justice and fucking on the first one. Yeah. Oh he was a beast. That was horrible. It was horrible. It was like I was watching that beauty in the B show from the fucking 80s. It was horrible.
[00:54:07] Not only did the fucking thing have an overbite but he looked like a bad line from the whiz. Yeah. I mean it was it was just terrible. But I mean they never developed storm at all. Yeah. Not that I really like storm was not one of my characters I really loved but they didn't they didn't really develop that character.
[00:54:26] I mean rogue they didn't really get into that much a little bit but not like I don't know I just felt like like they hinted on Nightcrawler and he became part of the crew for a while in that one in the one movie. Yeah. X2. Yeah.
[00:54:42] Nightcrawler is an interesting character. Yeah. Yeah. I mean he like show his own movie character. Yeah. And they just they just seemed to ruin it the makeup on Beast. Come on.
[00:54:56] Smiling Beast in the plane. Yeah with the blue fur. Give me a break. That's horrible. That was that was a new one. He did. He did look better. Yes. That's saying something. Yeah. That was the worst thing I've ever seen in my life.
[00:55:14] Beast smiling and a fucking I was livid. Yeah. Just because that's not that's not Beast. I mean it is. Yeah. And it's not it could have been a young beast if you did it right. It looked bad. Yeah. It looked like a bad Halloween mask. Yeah. I mean what's her name looked incredible.
[00:55:35] Both of them. Yes. Yeah. And the parts were played very well. Yeah. On both especially Jennifer Lawrence's. Yeah. It got a little bit more deep. Yeah. You know. Yeah but then you had this whole thing with the sentinels that you could have
[00:55:53] done. And even that's that part is bad. I'm just going to say this but even with the sentinels you could have done I know I love the movie and this is why people don't like the movie I'm sure but you could have done so much more with the sentinels. Yeah. You know what I mean those scenes in the future were incredible. Yeah. Because they captured what the sentinels did. Right.
[00:56:20] You know they learn from. Yeah. Being destroyed. And they counter and that's why they're so hard to kill. Right. You have to figure out a new way to kill them all the time. Right. Wolverine can't just climb up the back and lock the head off anymore. Right. You know what I mean like he he has to go a new route. Yeah.
[00:56:38] But those scenes where they showed the sentinels attacking and inside. Yeah. You know especially the one where they had who was it Iceman. Yeah. Right. And Iceman took out a couple of them. Right. But they learned and they fucking killed. Yeah. You know that is the kind of stuff that like is really good. You know what I mean. And that's where they missed the ball is on the sentinels because you and you could have done three movies with the sentinels.
[00:57:08] I mean and you could have gone further. I mean like that was such a huge villain. Trask you know. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know just that's why the X-Men films were just so disappointing. They had touches of brilliance in it. Each one of them had moments that were like really good. Yeah. And then it just became horrible.
[00:57:32] Like with the exception being Logan. Logan is well. Yeah. Logan was a movie all by itself. Right. But still I mean the only movie I'm going to say this and like it's hard. Hard to say. I mean if you look back over the years of the good ones. Yeah. Right.
[00:58:02] I mean. I mean. Logan was an excellent film. Yes. Blade 2 was an excellent film. Yes. Going through days of future pass. I like first class a lot. First class was good. I give you that. I like first class. Logan was really good. Yes. I like X2 as well. Okay. I thought that was a good telling of the.
[00:58:36] The second Wolverine movie. Yeah. Up until the ending the final fight scene. The second Wolverine movie. That has been a task. It is good but that ending is so ass. Like that. How can you end cap a movie like that? That's over samurai whole thing is so bad. Oh I know. But him going through town. Oh. I was straight from the books.
[00:59:05] It was with the arrow sticking out of everything straight from the book. Yeah. It was unbelievable. That was straight from the page. Yeah. It's just so incredible. Yeah. And then. You know I mean die with my heart and your heart in my hand. And then the whole thing with yeah and God. What was the one with fucking the.
[00:59:36] What's his name. I'm trying to think of that. Ryan Reynolds but I'm trying to think of the dead. Yeah. Wasn't dead. Oh no. Wolverine origins. Yeah.
[00:59:51] What was his name. His name changed. Wasn't dead. Paul anymore he was. Yeah he was like X23 or. Yeah. Yeah I mean seeing Ryan Reynolds come in like with this with the swords. Yeah.
[01:00:14] Yeah. Just so fucking good. Yeah. And he's got the smart ass attitude just like him. Yeah. I mean we all knew it was dead. Right. And then we're I'm just like well this is unbelievable. You know and that when they release Deadpool. Yeah. I thought that was a really complete movie.
[01:00:32] I went that the Deadpool movie. Yeah. I had there was nothing to complain about the movie. No it was it was dead. Yeah. Deadpool 2 was even good. Yeah. I don't think it was as good as one. No but it was the love story was better. Yeah.
[01:00:51] Which it was a little bit deeper to than one. Yeah. But Deadpool one was hands down. Yeah. One of the best Marvel movies that they've ever made. Yeah. And Deadpool 2 coming close to that. I mean but he was so good.
[01:01:11] Just the opening sequence. Yeah. The juice Newton song. Yeah. Just calling me a job. That's fucking fantastic. It was it was like the matrix. It was it just blew my mind. Yeah. You know what I mean. So anyway Deadpool was an excellent film. Yeah. You know what I mean. And then you can go into all the Avengers movies and stuff like that.
[01:01:35] You know what I mean. Right. I'm kind of speaking off Marvel Disney. Yeah. I got him. Don't forget like Spider-Man 2 was two Spider-Man one was okay. But the goblins costume was bad. Yeah. They captured that kiss between him and Mary Jane. Yeah. Which was that was one right. That was one. Yeah. Amazing.
[01:02:00] That was straight from the books. Yeah. But there was some good stuff in one. There was. But Spider-Man 2 that was a good film. Yeah. And you know it's a good film because you can never fucking find it on TV. Yeah. It's always for rent. Yeah. You know it's very rare that you can find Spider-Man 2 that you just watch. Yeah.
[01:02:19] Yeah. Because that was an excellent film. It is. It really is. Spider-Man 3 was horrible. But I mean this is you know from my viewpoint the first Venom movie I loved. I know you don't like it but I do appreciate what they did with Venom. I thought it was a good strong comeback from what they did in Spider-Man 3. Yeah.
[01:02:44] Outside of Marvel. But Spider-Man. So let me ask you this question. Did you see the trailer for Madame Webb? Not yet. All right. So you just watched the trailer for Madame Webb. The Sony's latest attempt to piece together their own cinematic universe without a Spider-Man. Yeah.
[01:03:11] Right. What did you think of that trailer? It looked interesting. I think I could be entertained with it. I still don't know why that guy's wearing the Spider-Man outfit. Yeah. That's.
[01:03:21] Like because they're so desperate to have a Spider-Man. Yeah. What? They have a Spider-Man. No they don't. They don't have the rights to Spider-Man anymore? They do but it's like they're trying. Like they're trying to take Venom. They're trying to take.
[01:03:42] Morbius and now Madame Webb and they shifted Vulture into this universe. Yeah. To build like a Sony Spider-Verse in a way. Okay. And it's just like we can do it but we can't use Spider-Man because we're using Spider-Man with Marvel.
[01:04:06] Why can't they use Spider-Man? Because they're using it with Marvel. Separate storyline. But Marvel doesn't care. Like the deal that they have is Marvel gets to use Spider-Man.
[01:04:20] No. I mean now Sony could do like they're doing the stuff with the across the Spider-Verse from an animated standpoint. They can do that all they want. By the way, I did confirm. Yeah. They were talking about Spider-Man No Way Home when I mentioned the nerd and Doctor Strange.
[01:04:45] Yeah. I confirmed that. Yeah. But um but yeah I mean like it's like Sony is just desperately trying to do something. It's like we have the rights to these characters. They got a Craven move in common. I know. Actually that looks pretty good.
[01:05:08] I'm so kind of like. We'll see. Yeah. Because it's Sony. The problem is it's Sony. I have a feeling. I just have this strange suspicion that it's going to be a little like Morbius.
[01:05:22] Yeah. But we'll see. Yeah. Like I just I don't have any faith in Sony. Like. I know because you didn't like Venom but see I like that. Venom was okay.
[01:05:32] The problems I had with Venom most did do with like the finale where I couldn't figure out what the fuck was going on because both were giant black blocks.
[01:05:40] Okay. Yeah. I mean like it just like the ending of that like oh okay Venom one. Okay great. Like. I know. Venom two I thought was better than Venom one.
[01:05:51] But it still was a meh movie. Speaking of Venom what did I watch that had what's her name in it? What's her name in it? The Asian lady in the Super Bowl. Oh she was in.
[01:06:10] Is this Spider-Verse? She was in the Spider-Verse. Yeah. Yeah. But live. Yeah. See. I thought Morbius was a bad movie but it was better than people said it was. I agree. But it still was a bad movie. It's watchable. Yeah.
[01:06:27] Like I've watched it once. I'll never watch it again. I watched it a couple times. Like I don't I don't see like Madame Webb that didn't like it didn't entice me like it didn't teach me like I gotta go see this in the theater.
[01:06:42] It didn't excite me. The Craven trailer didn't excite me. One of those girls like I can't remember the name of the shadow. The fuck was her name. Yeah.
[01:07:01] But it's just it's one of those things where like like if it's Sony is so desperate to get this to work but it's just. Or it's mentioned it's missing its lunch pin. Yeah. I mean it is. It is.
[01:07:14] But it's just it's like odd how they're going about it. Yeah. And I got it. It's just a it's a very weird. The whole thing is just weird to me and like and they're but they're they're just trudging through like they're pushing through like unlike movies and even do that well.
[01:07:37] Right. You know what I mean but they like when Universal like when the mummy bombed with Tom Cruise they shut that shit down. You know everything else was like no we're not going any further with their with their
[01:07:53] monster. Yeah I can't believe that movie floss. It was a bad move. I'm not saying that it wasn't. I'm just saying with Tom Cruise you're right he's a track record of like no matter what people show up.
[01:08:07] That was just a bad fucking. I mean how can he how can Tom Cruise even go. Yeah. You know what I mean like he's not he's not in bad movies usually. No.
[01:08:17] So how can you put out a clunker. Yeah. You know unless they just fucking shit showed edited it changed it all up. I don't know that there was a lot that took place with that.
[01:08:32] And he didn't have his hands on any of it. Yeah. Because there's no way which is why he has his hands and top gun. He has his hands and mission impossible and amazing.
[01:08:42] Those are good movies. You know I like he had his hands in this. Yeah it was like OK they backed up a Brinks truck. They put me in this franchise and I don't have any say that's cool but I got a lot of money at the end of the day is like well this was a shit show.
[01:08:58] Yeah I can use this for talking. Yeah basically that's probably what he did. Yeah. Yeah so I mean but I mean it's like but unlike Universal who like took that first clue of like well this just completely flopped.
[01:09:12] The stop to everything. Sony's like keep pushing keep pushing and we'll get it right. Yeah you know. It's crazy. It is.
[01:09:28] That's nuts. So he's got money though. They do. I mean but at some point you've just kind of kind of say like maybe this is this isn't going to work. Right.
[01:09:40] You know but they're going to keep trying. Oh yeah please. Geez. Oh that's that's going to stink. I'm not getting up. That's for sure. It's not even viewer. Now let me see if that anything I'll say in here.
