[00:00:00] Music I understand theoretical physics, but like I have like a very very very very very very Very basic grasp of it. Okay, you know, I mean like and Nolan does a good enough job of dumbing it down that somebody like me can understand what they're talking about Okay, I'm sure when they were talking and back in the 40s about
[00:01:42] Trying to create an atomic bomb. It was probably much nerdier than that than they were even you know edge of your seat thriller. And this is none of that. Okay. Okay, I mean it's literally telling this story about J. Robert Oppenheimer and who he was and his place in history.
[00:03:01] Right.
[00:03:02] And it's extraordinarily well done.
[00:03:04] Okay.
[00:03:05] And I mean there are four, like Robert Downey Jr. is amazing in this movie.
[00:03:08] Really? But outside of that, I was happy to give it my full attention. I enjoyed it. I thought it was very well done. That's cool. Yeah. Cool. Nice. I'll have to check it out. Yeah. I've been skipping over it. Yeah. But I'll have to watch it.
[00:04:21] Yeah.
[00:04:22] It's worth the time.
[00:04:23] If you want to invest the time, it's absolutely worth it.
[00:04:26] Okay.
[00:04:27] Yeah. I didn't watch a couple other things. I'll get into that a little bit. I was shot when I woke up this morning and there was snow on the ground. Right. And it's that funny thing when people are going snowed last night.
[00:05:41] What people don't understand is I don't look out my window.
[00:05:47] Right. Then I got to make an appointment to get my brakes done on my car. It's just one of those things I know I need them to be done because it's like last year to expect when I got it inspected they're like yeah if they're gonna your front brakes don't need to be done.
[00:07:00] I got the back brakes done last year.
[00:07:02] Right.
[00:07:03] Like you're gonna need to get AFC championship gaming as the Steelers yet. Like the second episode ended with them winning like and the thing people forget is like silly in what 2001 when the Patriots went to the Super Bowl and beat the Rams. Yeah. The game everybody
[00:08:22] remembers is the top role game. It with that spy gate shit Yeah, you know James Harrison So but I find it interesting
[00:09:48] Like despite everything I mean there are people are big all the you know between spygate and deflategate Like it took a lot to beat. Like if you think in that time period, there was only, there wasn't a single Super Bowl that didn't have either,
[00:11:06] like I think it was from 2003 to 2020. Right.
[00:11:07] There wasn't a single Super Bowl and Teddy Brouskie as much as I don't like them, I can respect them as football players. You know what I mean? And to hear what they had to say about Brady coming in off of Bledsoe's injury in the second game of the season. It's very interesting. That stuff is always fascinating to me. As much as I love the last dance,
[00:12:21] I'm enjoying this, at least for the first two episodes,
[00:12:24] just as much.
[00:12:25] Yeah.
[00:12:26] Cool.
[00:13:26] I don't think Jordan was as much of a jackoff as Charles Barkley.
[00:13:30] I fucking hated Sir Charles Barkley.
[00:13:35] Barkley never bothered me. Like, Oh my God.
[00:13:38] But like Jordan, I mean the thing with Jordan was always, I mean, it was like
[00:13:44] either you, you rise up to my level or get the fuck off the court.
[00:13:48] Yeah.
[00:14:43] And they had a level of dickheadery that LeBron will never meet.
[00:14:44] No.
[00:14:48] LeBron would never run through with one of his own teammates. Like that. No, he wouldn't.
[00:14:49] No.
[00:14:50] Like, LeBron wouldn't run through one of his friends like that.
[00:14:53] Right.
[00:14:54] You know.
[00:14:56] I think he punched her. Jordan did.
[00:15:00] Yeah, and a practice.
[00:15:01] Yeah, he punched him.
[00:15:02] Yeah.
[00:15:05] Yeah, so I mean like that's Michael Jordan. Like I mean...
[00:15:07] And he was driven.
[00:15:08] Yeah. Say no more. But I did watch that. There just hasn game Yeah, but it was a sleeper until the fourth quarter Third fourth. Yeah, I did that I was I Loved it was a defensive battle. I cuz I mean There's a difference in Is it a defensive battle or is a bad offensive game? Yeah
[00:17:41] Like yeah, there was that game earlier in the year between the Steelers and the Browns. Okay, they look like the Steelers lost like like
[00:18:45] played well, it's fucking like, you know,
[00:18:47] a masterpiece theater to me. Right, I know.
[00:18:47] So yeah, I did, I understand why you thought
[00:18:50] it was a snooze fest, but to me, I was like,
[00:18:52] oh, this is riveting football.
[00:18:55] Yeah, no, I know.
[00:18:56] Yeah.
[00:18:57] That's our difference.
[00:18:58] Yeah.
[00:18:59] But yeah, I mean, it's what it is.
[00:19:03] Yeah.
[00:19:06] It's crazy about Birdie going all that way, though. acknowledge the fact that Princess the Greatest Halftime should have all the time. That Usher did or The Weeknd did a few years ago. All that stuff everybody else does is like yeah yeah Princess came out and played guitar and toured the Halftime. Yeah. You know that's all he did. Princess good. Yeah. So anyway.
[00:20:20] So did you look up any of the trailers is really giving away much of anything like it was mostly just Ryan Reynolds in the suit Convincing you to go see the movie anyway, right, you know, yes, and it was a good it was a good it was a good thing
[00:21:40] Yeah
[00:21:42] But
[00:21:43] Just the way it opened it was good. Oh,, like I'm sure like he had to collaborate with Kevin Feige on like, well, how do we bring this into the MCU? What, you know, what are the toys I can play with? Oh, they're bringing two into the MCU, sort of. Yeah. Which is, that's kinda big. Yeah.
[00:23:02] But like, so like, how do you do, how do you get it all to kinda mesh and work together?
[00:23:05] Right.
[00:23:06] You know, and,
[00:24:06] Much like Hugh Jackman, he is, even though it's only three movies, he is the caretaker of the character, for sure.
[00:24:09] And I think he's very happy to do that.
[00:24:14] If anything, it's created a renaissance of his career because he was kind of middling.
[00:24:19] He was like the Shogun series.
[00:25:41] It's coming out.
[00:25:42] Yeah.
[00:25:42] So am I.
[00:25:44] That looks good.
[00:26:41] I was in here. And then uh, the only good commercial was the Dunk Kings.
[00:26:53] Yeah, that was funny.
[00:26:56] Did you see the five minute one?
[00:26:58] Nah.
[00:26:59] Like it's like, like they did a whole thing.
[00:27:01] Okay.
[00:27:02] It's like, it leads up to like them showing up at her studio.
[00:27:05] Okay.
[00:27:06] And it's hysterical.
[00:27:07] Yeah. I just want to like Like it sucks flame on yeah myself like People oh you don't like hobby. Let me just not the fact. There's a hobby lobby. I didn't care That's what they're turning it into. It's just the fact that It was cuz not not only did like this the Steel City Con
[00:28:24] Come out of there. There were a I got his autograph and me and Nancy went out there I Wanted to get Ray Park, but I couldn't get his autograph for some reason but that was also
[00:29:43] Lou Ferrigno and there was a couple others that we't know, but I don't think it's that big. Yeah. Like, I've been to the Rastan because Eaton Park would hold their manager meetings. Like, by annual, like twice a year they'd have like manager meetings you'd have to go to.
[00:31:01] And I'd drive out the night before
[00:31:05] and I'd stay at like a cheap hotel and moon couple of Wizard World here in the David Lawrence Convention Center and that went away. So this is it as far as like toys and comics. On a scale like this, I don't know like especially with still CityCon or many the other convention like the outdoor show I believe was out of there or there was an outdoor show that came to the show have come in from out of town to go to that convention. So there's a bunch of, you're right, food, bars, all this stuff that people who were out of town,
[00:35:03] staying at the hotels would frequent,
[00:35:05] that's loss of revenue for them. But the renovation you're gonna have to do to that place is gonna be massive, too. Right, I know. Because for those who don't know, it was kind of split in the two. There was a front section and a back section. Right. And the front section, and it was separated
[00:36:20] by restrooms and stuff, but there was also
[00:37:30] completely renovate for it to be a retail space. Right. Yeah, you have to. Yeah. I don't know. I find it odd. I do too. I guess... Now I was told that they only rented
[00:37:36] half of it. Well that would make sense because I got... because of looking at that
[00:37:42] mass of space, I can't see how Hobby's a very strange thing. Yeah, I was I
[00:39:02] I'm just I'm just disappointed that it's going away because like
[00:40:08] So like the convention center made more sense once they kind of got that up and running right and the Expo mark turned into
[00:40:18] CVS care mark uses that entire thing now. I think yeah, I think they just need to build a cinema world again
[00:40:20] Well, yeah, I mean
[00:40:26] Facts, I mean any day, but I've also been there where like, you know, what was it that I went to go to see and that was like nobody, I think it was Godzilla minus one.
[00:41:41] No, we went to, that was not at home.
[00:41:42] So we started with Zilla minus one. one it wasn't showing up at a sin mark it was showing at the waterfront and we wanted to see not in an IMAX and they were they didn't they had it an IMAX so I don't think I've ever seen an IMAX up in the room is it true IMAX? No it's what I
[00:43:03] can't remember what they call it it's not. Yeah Broke our quarterback's nose. Yeah Did you ever hear the story Ben tells about that? No like They call a timeout. He's like my nose is all over my face Yeah, you know and I come to the sidelines on during this time and nobody's looking at me. Yeah
[00:45:35] gonna be Reed Richards. Vanessa Kirby is playing Sue Storm. Yvonne Moss Baroque as Ben Grimm. He's cousin on the bear. Yeah and Joseph Quinn will be playing Johnny Storm. Yeah. And so
[00:45:41] Vanessa Kirby, the thing I most know her from, she was in The Fast and the Furious, she was cast right? No. Oh I thought he was. No they did they have not announced anything about Doom. Now what people are speculating though and this is what I found very interesting and I'm gonna kind of treat how they work this into the mythology because they released a not a poster but an announcement type of
[00:47:02] poster. Yeah. And it looks like Ben the thing is reading a copy of a life magazine and based upon how the cover looks people are speculating this is a cover of Life magazine of Lyndon Johnson in 1963. Wow yeah okay so that is
[00:48:22] what has led to the speculation on well this off with fighting the Skrulls. You can't have Galactus and Surfer can't, all that shit that's like fantastic for, like you're literally like limiting yourself to like Doom and the Mole Men. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah.
[00:49:42] Yeah, I don't know. Again, I'm not opposed to it.
[00:49:43] I think like a period piece as a superhero movie
[00:49:46] is like a great idea.
[00:49:47] Right. standing in his way. And what are they gonna do about Kang? Well I mean that's like still up in the air whether or not you just recast the actor and continue with what you were doing or do you kind of like... because Loki kind of gives you a I mean like all I want to see who wants to see the fantastic four against the Mollman. Yeah, no, I get it like No But it is that it's just an odd thing of like like how much you limit yourself
[00:52:23] I don't know and whatever they're you do it, you better do it right. You better do it justice. You know? Right. Because if you don't, it's buried forever. Right.
[00:53:40] Oh, I know. Yeah.
[00:53:42] I 100% agree with you.
[00:54:42] How do you live up to that? And we've talked about this.
[00:54:43] Right.
[00:54:44] And also, the thing I've always said is,
[00:54:47] because people have always been like,
[00:54:49] where is he, there's a superhero bubble.
[00:54:52] And you're right to a certain extent.
[00:54:54] Right.
[00:54:55] Like, absolutely.
[00:54:56] Like, I think there's going to come a point
[00:54:58] where general audiences aren't flocking
[00:55:00] just because it says Marvel.
[00:55:02] I think it's happening now.
[00:55:03] Right.
[00:55:07] But I've always said that there will always be a market So this came out September 3rd, 2021. It? Yeah. No, it did. Yeah, it did. Not in 2001.
[00:57:42] But 2021, I'm sorry.
[00:57:44] Yeah.
[00:57:45] I'm sorry. Excuse me.
[00:57:46] That's okay. What was it, a billion? Probably yeah. Like I want to bet that that made huge money. Like Dr. Strange, 200 million again, estimated budget.
[00:59:00] US Canada gross, 411 million.
[00:59:04] Worldwide gross, 955 million.
[00:59:07] That's pretty good. Everybody knows the Spider-Man franchise, plus you get the rumors of Andrew Garfield and Tony Maguire coming back. That movie was a rocket ship. Dr. Strange says, you Like Namor hasn't even heard a speck of something like that. Yeah There wasn't a fish that came back says hey, man, check it out You're not gonna believe what the fuck I saw. I was all fucking something crazy I mean, I thought I fine. Yeah. Those are your numbers. Right. And lastly, here's the dud and that's the marvels. Yeah. Estimated budget of 220 million dollars. In part was that part was pushed in there. Right. That was shoehorned in there. Right. I agree. Shoehorned. Yes. Which pissed me off. That did piss me off cuz it it was like I it it was
[01:04:20] it just didn't fit to me. Right. I don't know what you
[01:04:25] mean. Like it just part in that whole fucking, I mean, not in the whole battle scene when there was a couple for me. Yeah. I mean, like when Spider-Man turned on death mode. Yeah. That was awesome.
[01:05:40] Yeah.
[01:05:41] Because I mean, I was like, oh, yeah, chills.
[01:05:42] Yeah.
[01:05:43] Because I know that.
[01:05:44] Right.
[01:05:45] You know what I mean?
[01:05:46] Cat picking up the hammer.
[01:05:48] Yeah.
[01:05:49] Badass. as a kid, you know? So yeah, I mean, there were some really good moments in that scene, but I really felt that that scene was pushed. Yeah. Hardcore. And it didn't need to be. It didn't need to be. I thought it was done better in the Infinity War, where
[01:07:01] Widow and what's it was like getting back to like you get the marbles. And Dr. Strange, I thought Dr. Strange was this huge part and he wasn't. He was just holding the water back. Yeah. For the most part. Yeah. You know what I mean? And he had a couple moments. They all had their moments, which I truly appreciated. Yeah. Do you know what I mean? Like each one, and I like how they panned it and how they showed each one of was good. Yeah, I mean, there's a lot, but getting back to the Marvels and how they fail, I feel like it is that thing of like, eww, we love one girl, so why not?
[01:09:40] Yeah, there's so many female superheroes in the Marvel universe.
[01:09:45] Yeah. Why didn't you see it at theater, Shawn? Well, because I have limited money and there were other things I wanted to see, like Godzilla minus one. You know, that's why. So I had to pick and choose and I picked Godzilla minus one over the Marvels. Because I knew at some point I'll see the Marvels on Disney plus.
[01:11:01] I'm only gonna get to see
[01:11:03] Godzilla minus one in the theater probably.
[01:11:05] Yeah.
[01:11:06] And I thought it was, understand with Taylor Swift. Because all I've heard since probably November is how Taylor Swift has ruined football. And like first off, well here's the thing, so
[01:12:21] first off, what is what is the Taylor Swift, who would it be? Travis Kelce's mom. It would be the wife of the head coach.
[01:13:44] It would be somebody, some other girlfriend or relative.
[01:13:48] She's not with her boyfriend. Yeah. You know what I mean? It just so happens he's a tight end. I don't like Travis Kelsey. I haven't liked him for years. People are like, oh, I don't like Travis Kelsey now because he's dating Taylor. I haven't liked him since 2016 when he boo-hooed about being called on for holding against
[01:15:04] James Harrison in the playoff game where he was clearly fucking holding. paycheck or something it was something or a $47,000 paycheck for it now we know why she's dating him like $47,000 to her is like, you know tipping money. Yeah, she's worth billions way. Yeah more than Travis comes Yeah, so I mean like it's like this funny thing of like how people like
[01:17:42] Are so like and I know I just don't understand it and If it wasn't her, it would be somebody else. That has been done in NFL games for years. Even though it's unscripted, they still want to tell a story. So here's so-and-so's mom, and so-and-so's dad, and they're watching the game.
[01:17:43] So you get reactions from them every time they make a play.
[01:17:47] Right.
[01:17:47] You know what I mean? person but like at the same time I'm like you know if she's getting millions of young girls to watch football and they're spending money on football that's just good for football. Right. I heard I didn't get chisel guess up but I heard it's just... It's dumb. Yeah. Like, if you don't want to see The Marvels because it's a little bit of a bad movie, I understand that. Like, that makes complete sense to me. Yeah. But if you don't want to see The Marvels because you feel it's Disney going woke and forcing, you know, three women down your throat and, you know, and one of them's a, you know, a on IMDB, the Metacritic score is 27. Wow. And it's got 3.8 out of 10 stars.
[01:21:40] Wow.
[01:21:41] Yeah.
[01:21:42] Wow, that's lower than Venom.
[01:21:46] Yeah. I don't know if I'll see it in the theater, but I want to see the movie. That's not a lie.
[01:23:00] I want to see it.
[01:23:01] Well, I mean, I watch it, but I ain't paying to see it in the theater either.
[01:23:04] No, I'm not just name-calling villains, but parts of the Caribbean. Yeah. Barbossa is a great villain. Right. The first two, I guess. Yeah. Right? I think, I forget because there's been so fucking many of them. Okay. Well, you've only the first three because they all kind of work in conjunction with each other. You got Barbossa in the first one.
[01:24:20] Then it's David Jones.
[01:24:22] David Jones.
[01:24:23] David Jack in the third.
[01:24:24] Yeah.
[01:24:25] Yeah.
[01:24:26] But those characters are such good villains. I absolutely hated him. And like to bring out that much hate. Yeah. No, I agree because it's like. And then to hear what's her name say. He had it worse than Thanos did to me. Yeah.
[01:25:40] To name the more sister.
[01:25:42] Nebula. Yeah.
[01:25:43] When Nebula said that.
[01:25:45] Yeah, she said that.
[01:25:46] She was like, yeah fucking horrible you know I agree with you I'm hundred percent but that's rare for Marvel right I know it is like most of their villains are forgettable yeah no I know but that's sad I mean you
[01:27:01] know there are a few that stick out but books to properly Dungeon Master, feel like I would need the
[01:29:40] players handbook, the Dungeon Masters
[01:29:41] guide, the Monster Manual which I, you
[01:29:47] know, and like you're not you're saying to yourself like I want to commit a day and Like four to five hours of that day, right? That's how long it takes to play Okay, like Cuz like you get off track you end up talking, you know
[01:31:01] You get back to the game like you know that it's that thing of like cuz you're gap
[01:31:05] You're gathering your friends who you don't understand the time and money you kind of have to put into it. Like, it's not so much if you're just a player. Like there, people fascinate me who are like, like, those people who get up like super early and like take their dog for a walk and then like come home and you know, have a cup of coffee, they shave, like all the stuff like people, like normal people do like fascinate
[01:33:42] me because I can't imagine doing that.
[01:33:45] Like right. I'm at work at 1 30. I worked till 10 o'clock from 10 o'clock. I'm up till 2 o'clock. You know like that's like, you know How I like day is divvyed up. I'm sure that's probably a like people like well if you got up at 8 o'clock you could do Yeah, you're probably right, but you know Like it's like it's just it's weird. I woke up at 5 a.m. This morning Wow
[01:35:06] Mine awake. Yeah
