00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:12.720
Welcome back to the Wonder Bros Pod where we rediscover wonder through the art of storytelling.
00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:14.240
My name's Cody and I'm Josh.
00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:21.920
And we're currently on the countdown to Doomsday, rewatching every MCU film in release order all the way to Avengers Doomsday this December.
00:00:22.079 --> 00:00:26.239
And today we're talking about one of our absolute favorites, Deadpool and Wolverine.
00:00:26.399 --> 00:00:26.960
Yeah, that's right.
00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:28.719
Deadpool and Wolverine.
00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:33.039
A little bit of an oddball because of its connection to the Fox universe.
00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:39.679
And even in our project, we didn't do Deadpool 1 and 2 because they really were outside this arc.
00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:49.119
But um the because of the integration of the TVA, because of the connection to the Doomsday storyline and the multiverse, uh really needed to incorporate it.
00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:50.320
And then what a gift, man.
00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:51.439
It's it's such a great movie.
00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:52.719
We got to watch it together.
00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:56.960
Uh not not physically together, but we got to watch it and we don't get to talk about it this time.
00:00:57.039 --> 00:00:57.759
So I'm excited.
00:00:58.079 --> 00:00:58.479
It's true.
00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:08.560
And if as you mentioned, uh Doomsday, it's interesting to me that this movie is on the official Marvel released uh prep list, right?
00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:14.319
Uh we do have that, and it's made me very much question if we should do Days of Future Pass, which is not on the list.
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:19.599
X-Men one and two are, which is fascinating to me because they're so far back in the storyline.
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:26.959
I know we really haven't had a chance to talk about this, but I I really only think it's because they want to make sure that we're introduced to the right characters.
00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:38.480
Because I'm if you think about who has been announced from the X-Men universe that's going to be in Doomsday, the characters and the versions of them that we're gonna get are the X-Men One and Two versions, which Days of Future Past went back to.
00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:45.840
And so my guess is it's like they're only saying that not because of what happens in those movies, but because it introduces us to the right characters.
00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:48.079
Nightcrawler, for example, is in X-2.
00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:51.760
And so we have characters that only showed up in those moments.
00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:59.519
And so they're like, here, check, you since you only have so much time, here's the 15 or 16 movies or whatever it is that you need to watch, and they included those two.
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:02.239
But I still I don't know, we'll see.
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:04.000
I still plan on doing Days of Future Pass.
00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:04.879
I still think that we should.
00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:06.799
I think it'd be a great movie to talk about.
00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:13.840
But I guess they didn't put it on there because they're not acknowledging the other X-Men reboot cat cast at all that's supposed to be the prequel to all of them.
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:16.960
Yeah, it's in the same timeline, but it's a it's technically a reboot.
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:18.960
Just skipping over them entirely, yeah.
00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:25.520
Because at that point, when we have James McAvoy and um oh, what's the name of the character that played Magneto?
00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:28.800
He also did uh um Michael Fastbender.
00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:29.759
Yeah, Fastbender.
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:40.240
Yeah, um we by the time they came in in a reboot conversation, we did not have MCU, we did not have multiverse conversations, none of that had entered the lexicon.
00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:43.280
So to kind of retcon them away might make sense.
00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:46.960
Um I mean like again, I don't know if it's necessarily retconning because it is in the timeline.
00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:49.280
Like it is it is just them younger, right?
00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:49.919
That's fair.
00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:50.960
So I I don't know.
00:02:51.039 --> 00:03:01.759
I don't know if it's I think it's just not acknowledging them, and and because of that reason, we don't need to know if somebody was just coming into this story, they don't need to know about that story, they just need to know what happened to next one and two.
00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:02.080
Okay.
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:03.120
I think that's why.
00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:03.840
That's my guess.
00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:08.879
And they definitely don't want you to know what happened to next three because that was a clusterfuck of a movie.
00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:10.800
Is that the one where uh Phoenix?
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:11.439
Yeah, Phoenix.
00:03:11.759 --> 00:03:14.240
We get to see Dark Phoenix for the first time, which was scary in the beginning.
00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:16.879
Like the Cyclops scene for anybody who's seen it at the lake.
00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:20.879
We can't uh Lake Um uh what's it called?
00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:22.879
Um yeah, you're I don't know.
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:25.280
It's it's it's where Wolverine was created.
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:25.919
It's that lake.
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:28.879
Oh um Alkaline Alkali Lake.
00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:30.319
Alkali Lake, that's what it is.
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:30.960
Wow.
00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:32.960
That was a deep cut dog.
00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:36.960
Well, they say it many times throughout the first three X-Men movies, that's why I know.
00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:37.439
Oh, okay.
00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:43.039
And then there's like a facility that's at the dam at Alkali Lake, and that's how all of that anyway.
00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:57.680
Um and so uh
Load full transcript
all of that to say, somehow this movie connects to Doomsday, but uh it has very much made me question or I we we knew this movie was gonna be in the doomsday uh order uh ahead of time.
00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:00.639
There's a lot of things that came out about it, so that's why it's here and that's why we're talking about it.
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:01.520
But yeah, I don't know.
00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:02.479
We'll see what happens.
00:04:02.719 --> 00:04:03.280
We're almost there.
00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:05.680
We're only a few movies away, a few weeks away at this point.
00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:06.560
So that's right.
00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:08.560
Um all right, well, let's jump into this one.
00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:20.959
So this one is this uh this movie came out July 26, 2024, which is just you know, what is that, about uh eight months after the Marvels, which we just got done talking about and being sad about talking about it.
00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:23.920
And so now we go to this, which is just an emotional high.
00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:24.720
It's amazing.
00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:27.360
Yeah and uh can't can't wait to really dig into this.
00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:31.040
Um, but this movie is uh worth mentioning two another 200 million.
00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:32.720
Seems like these I'm starting to see a pattern.
00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:38.079
They've kind of got it down to a science where it's like around 200 million is how much it's gonna take to make one of these movies.
00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:40.079
Insane amount of money that's hard to imagine.
00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:52.399
And then this movie somehow made, not somehow, but it made 1.338 billion dollars and became at the time of its release the the the most the highest grossing R-rated film in history.
00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:52.959
Wow.
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:53.360
Yeah.
00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:57.680
That they just got unceded five days ago by the Odyssey.
00:04:58.000 --> 00:04:58.480
Oh, really?
00:04:58.720 --> 00:04:59.360
Isn't that crazy?
00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:01.360
As of the time of this recording, we should say this.
00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:09.439
We record these, as we mentioned, we record a lot of these episodes, batch them together, at least right now we are, because I'm trying to cut out, carve out some time to record an album.
00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:11.360
So uh we're trying to get a little ahead here.
00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:16.160
So we're actually recording this on August 26th and uh 26th?
00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:16.319
Yeah.
00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:18.399
It's 11 30 p.m.
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:19.199
on the 25th.
00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:21.120
So by the time we're done, it'll be the 26th.
00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:22.480
You are correct, you know.
00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:23.439
Technically, yeah.
00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:24.000
That's right.
00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:27.360
Uh and so uh just five days ago from this date.
00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:31.040
This this recording is taking two days, the 25th and the 26th.
00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:32.560
Yeah, exactly.
00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:35.120
Um, and so that is an interesting concept.
00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:42.079
But it like at the time it came out, it was definitely the highest grossing R-rated film, and it had unseated uh the Joker, if I'm remembering correctly.
00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:45.519
Uh well, I thought the Passion of the Christ was the one that unseeded.
00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:46.399
That was a long time ago.
00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:52.079
It's been unseated by a few, but the Joker was the one that was the highest until I think Logan was before that.
00:05:52.399 --> 00:05:52.800
Oh, okay.
00:05:52.959 --> 00:05:54.160
Maybe that's what I'm thinking of.
00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:58.639
And then I remember there being like a big deal because it was like a Yeah, anyway.
00:05:58.720 --> 00:05:59.360
Okay, cool.
00:05:59.519 --> 00:05:59.920
We're good.
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:00.959
Yeah, so it's fun.
00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:05.439
And oh yeah, the Odyssey made a it surpassed it with 1.352 billion.
00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:08.160
So just a little over it as of five days ago.
00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:08.879
Gotcha.
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:15.120
And the runtime, only two hours and seven minutes of just pure uh unadulterated fun.
00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:16.959
So efficient.
00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:20.399
There's no at no point we we do this a lot.
00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:27.680
One of the things we we talk about is like, oh man, the second act was so slow, or oh my gosh, it really paused and we weren't able to.
00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:29.439
That never happens in this movie.
00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:33.680
No, and it's actually it's hard, it's almost hard to the the lines are blurred between acts.
00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:34.399
That's right.
00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:37.839
It it actually made it hard for me to find a pull list.
00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:38.319
Yeah.
00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:45.360
I have them, I I have them, but it was actually like fuck, I this because it feels like one long stream of really intelligent.
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:50.720
Yeah, it's really it's the one long stream of consciousness and and all being really intelligent.
00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:55.279
Um if you can get so it so that you know there's a lot of stuff that happens here.
00:06:55.360 --> 00:06:57.680
There are people that are gonna watch this movie because it's R-rated.
00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:01.600
There are people that are gonna watch this movie because it's got crass humor.
00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:05.199
There are people that are gonna watch this movie because it's a superhero movie.
00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:12.079
But if you can actually if you can actually uh pause all that and set it to the side, it's a brilliant piece of art.
00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:12.639
It is.
00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:21.680
It actually is from it from an intelligent comedy drawing on all of the movies and stories that have come before it.
00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:31.759
I mean everything from I'm I don't want to get too far down the road, but like incorporating the word peanut every time he constantly calls him peanut, just making you think about Ant-Man and Cassie.
00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:39.920
The way that they've just incorporated so much um quick-witted, um deep-cut humor.
00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:44.560
You need to know stuff that's come before it, but but everything is said with intention.
00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:55.839
Well, and they did it with they did it in a way with like a comedic uh mode or vehicle that is uh unlike anything else in the MCU.
00:07:56.000 --> 00:08:06.160
But this movie, when you think about it, this is the first time we have seen something pieced together from so many other movies from what we would know now is the multiverse uh saga, right?
00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:12.959
So this entire saga is summed up in this movie at that point, which is the first thing that it's we haven't seen that since Infinity War and Endgame.
00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:13.519
That's right.
00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:21.839
All the way back to like the incorporation of Wesley Snipes and Blade, and of course Ryan Reynolds played in Blade 3, and they notoriously didn't like each other.
00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:27.199
And so when he's like, I never liked you, and he's like, Yeah, or he's like, I don't like anybody, he's like, Yeah, it's normal.
00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:35.519
Like that that whole it's so intelligent, it's saying hello and goodbye to so many different things in this movie.
00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:38.720
Um you you could you could break it down.
00:08:38.799 --> 00:08:46.799
You could you you could spend some time thinking about all the different ways that uh they did a really good job with this and honored decades of cinema.
00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:47.519
Right.
00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:53.360
As we'll get into by the time you get to the credits, you're gonna you're you're in tears if any of these movies ever made meant anything to you.
00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:55.519
And then let's take it down one more layer.
00:08:55.679 --> 00:09:05.039
Normally we do this in the gutter, but let's take it in the layer of um comedy being a way to incorporate things we would normally cry about.
00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:10.320
Um and comedians this is one of the reasons why I love stand-up comedy.
00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:14.720
Comedians often being some of the best philosophers out there.
00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:24.320
Because when you really you know, tragedy plus time equals comedy, when we can tell stories that hurt after time has passed, we can tell them with humor.
00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:24.879
Yeah.
00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:26.720
Particularly after we've resolved them.
00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:30.879
Or unless you're gonna be in like the daily show and do like the news real time.
00:09:32.639 --> 00:09:33.120
Yeah, yeah.
00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:34.240
Not enough time has passed.
00:09:34.320 --> 00:09:35.919
We're gonna it's too soon, we're gonna do it anyway.
00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:36.240
Right.
00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:43.120
Um, but um, so some of the best, some of the best comedians, like uh, I love some of Robin Williams' dramatic work.
00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:46.559
There are a lot of actors that can do drama.
00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:49.519
There aren't a lot of actors that can do comedy well.
00:09:49.919 --> 00:09:51.919
And but most comedians can do drama.
00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:54.000
But comedians can do drama.
00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:54.720
That's right.
00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:57.679
Um this is one that that struck me the first time I heard it.
00:09:57.759 --> 00:09:58.320
Um, Mr.
00:09:58.559 --> 00:09:59.120
Miyagi.
00:09:59.600 --> 00:10:02.240
Have you ever heard any of Pat Marita's old stand-up?
00:10:02.720 --> 00:10:03.039
No.
00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:03.679
Okay.
00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:05.679
That guy was a stand-up comic.
00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:06.080
Wow.
00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:18.399
Becomes an Oscar winner because of um Karate uh Karate Kid 2, the no doctor comes scene where he is drunk talking about living in an internment camp as a Japanese American.
00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:21.200
Um, it is is gut-wrenching.
00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:21.600
Yeah.
00:10:21.759 --> 00:10:25.600
Also, um uh Miyogi voice is not real.
00:10:25.919 --> 00:10:26.159
Right.
00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:27.919
Have you ever heard him actually talk?
00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:28.240
No.
00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:30.320
Oh, he talks like a guy from California.
00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:33.759
Like it's not yeah, it's so outside the scope.
00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:40.480
All of that is contrived, and it's be it's coming from a comedian, yeah uh playing in a in what ends up being a dramatic role.
00:10:40.559 --> 00:10:46.720
Now, there's there's satire, there's irony, he play he even has some times that he can be comedic.
00:10:46.960 --> 00:11:01.279
But uh funny enough, in uh there's a uh cut that probably isn't gonna make it in this episode, but um the um the guy that plays Sato in Karate Kid 2 when they go to Okinawa, he was the original actor slated to be Miyagi.
00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:12.960
And he's far more serious actor, far more uh he's a Japanese uh actor, far far uh his terms of his filmography is a lot more drama, very little comedy.
00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:16.960
Uh Pat Marita came in there and read for it, and they were like, This is our motherfucker.
00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:23.360
We needed a tiny we needed a smaller, older, um, you know, what looks frail but still powerful.
00:11:23.679 --> 00:11:26.080
And also can take a serious moment and make it somewhat funny.
00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:32.960
Make it make it subtly funny, which I think is what comedians in a drama role do really well, is that they make it feel very naturally funny.
00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:36.240
There's a show I just finished, I must mention this before we really get into this movie.
00:11:36.480 --> 00:11:38.720
There's a show I just finished called Widow's Bay.
00:11:38.799 --> 00:11:40.879
Everybody's been talking about it on Apple TV.
00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:45.039
I finally everybody I have had so many people be like, you have to watch this show.
00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:45.679
It's amazing.
00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:47.519
No one would tell me what kind of show it was.
00:11:47.840 --> 00:11:51.279
I will ruin a little bit of that for you because I think it's really, really great.
00:11:51.440 --> 00:11:57.759
Is um I just finished it the first season, and this is by far one of the most brilliant shows I have seen, maybe since The Good Place.
00:11:57.919 --> 00:12:01.039
Wow in terms of being able to blend drama and comedy together.
00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:01.440
Okay.
00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:03.919
So it's uh it's very much suspense horror.
00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:09.039
They're on an island where like some crazy shit happens and like it just keeps happening and it's almost comedic.
00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:09.440
Okay.
00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:14.080
You know, it's comically uh funny the way that it's just like over and over and over again.
00:12:14.399 --> 00:12:22.000
But they they wrote humor into this in a way that I'm like, there's there's not many actors that could have pulled this off in a way that like you laugh out loud.
00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:24.799
Like it's really, really good, really, really well written.
00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:32.000
It's uh a show that is um I'm trying to remember who right who wrote it, but it's it's a really I highly recommend it.
00:12:32.080 --> 00:12:36.799
And but that's a really good example of like blending drama and comedy in a way that like makes sense.
00:12:36.960 --> 00:12:39.840
And it and this is this is a movie where they just did a really good job.
00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:44.480
Ryan Reynolds is a comedy actor who does who has done drama.
00:12:44.879 --> 00:12:54.159
But to be fair, we have Hugh Jackman who is a singer and a thespian who has played in action and has been this Logan character now since the 90s.
00:12:54.399 --> 00:13:03.679
We have uh a comedic actor who's also done a little bit of drama and a lot of action coming in and being a primary writer and producer um in Ryan Reynolds.
00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:05.759
We have a hard story to tell.
00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:06.240
Yeah.
00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:11.200
Like like Wolverine's story here is very tragic.
00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:13.039
In every in every version.
00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:14.320
It's tragic in a different way.
00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:22.720
And this one is very dark, including the one that most of us are connecting to, which is I loved Gene Gray, and Scott got Gene, and I did not.
00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:25.120
That's what we remember from the Fox X-Men.
00:13:25.440 --> 00:13:26.720
Wow, yeah, that's true.
00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:27.440
Among other things.
00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:31.120
Yeah, I was gonna say, I I
think of like his end, which is very, very definitely.
00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:37.679
And then you've got Logan, where you've got the X23, and you've got the death of Charles Xavier, and you've got, of course, Logan sacrifices himself.
00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:40.639
To this day, one of my favorite, not just superhero movies, but movies.
00:13:40.879 --> 00:13:41.120
Movies.
00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:45.440
And definitely one of my favorite performances of uh from Hugh Jackman, honestly.
00:13:45.759 --> 00:13:52.639
Like I love him in everything, but uh, that's a great it was a really, really great way to see off that character that he had played for so long.
00:13:52.960 --> 00:13:56.960
And then to I don't want to get into the poll list yet, but I'm about to talk about that.
00:13:57.360 --> 00:13:59.679
Well, and and I'm gonna talk about it in the origin story.
00:13:59.759 --> 00:14:02.720
So um let's talk a little bit about how this movie happened.
00:14:02.799 --> 00:14:04.240
I think that'll be a fun way to talk about this.
00:14:04.960 --> 00:14:07.679
So Marvel acquired Fox in March of 2019.
00:14:07.919 --> 00:14:25.919
Ryan Reynolds had been trying to get a Deadpool Wolverine movie for years and years and years, but of course, uh Logan he wanted to do a team up, and then of course, in uh Logan he announced he now uh Hugh Jackman announces his retirement from playing him, playing Wolverine, uh in in uh 2017.
00:14:26.159 --> 00:14:32.559
And so Ryan Reynolds reportedly called Jackman the morning after Logan released and asked if he'd come back.
00:14:34.080 --> 00:14:35.840
Jackman obviously said no.
00:14:36.000 --> 00:14:39.519
And Ryan uh then Ryan's uh Reynolds called again and again and again.
00:14:39.600 --> 00:14:40.799
He tried, he kept trying to get him to it.
00:14:40.960 --> 00:14:43.360
It became a joke between them for so long, right?
00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:49.440
Um it becomes a joke in the first scene where he's got the skeleton and he's like, you know what's gonna make him come back from the dead?
00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:51.440
A big fat check from Marvel.
00:14:51.679 --> 00:14:52.320
Yeah.
00:14:53.200 --> 00:14:53.919
Exactly.
00:14:54.159 --> 00:15:07.360
But he called again and again, and eventually Jagman did say yes, reportedly because it was the multiversal concept that made sure that he what he did and what he accomplished in Logan was never going to be unwritten that caused it to.
00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:09.600
Uh I mean, it never was unwritten.
00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:10.240
That's right.
00:15:10.320 --> 00:15:10.639
That's right.
00:15:10.720 --> 00:15:13.519
I I'll just love You might have dug him up, but that was way after Logan's.
00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:21.200
I just love the opening scene where he's like, I know everyone is wondering, how are we gonna not, how are we gonna honor the legacy of Logan?
00:15:21.360 --> 00:15:23.039
He's like, well, the answer is we're not.
00:15:23.200 --> 00:15:23.519
Yeah.
00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:26.480
So he uses his skeleton to kill the TVA.
00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:31.039
I genuinely don't know how we're gonna get through this episode without just quoting things the whole time because there's so many.
00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:32.080
There's so many.
00:15:32.399 --> 00:15:36.639
Um those of you that listen to us and think that our episodes are long, fucking buckle in.
00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:44.159
Um the Deadpool variant cast, I want to take a make a quick mention of this because I don't know if you knew all of them.
00:15:44.320 --> 00:15:44.720
I didn't.
00:15:44.799 --> 00:15:47.600
I was looking them up trying to figure out who all of them were, and I was like, oh my god.
00:15:47.840 --> 00:15:49.679
Did I catch a Matthew McConaughey in there?
00:15:49.840 --> 00:15:50.080
Yes.
00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:50.799
Oh my gosh.
00:15:51.039 --> 00:15:53.360
The voice, I was like, that's fucking all right, all right, all right.
00:15:53.679 --> 00:15:56.240
Cowboy Deadpool was definitely Matthew McConaughey.
00:15:56.320 --> 00:15:59.519
Um Lady Deadpool was Blake Lively, which is his wife.
00:15:59.679 --> 00:16:03.279
And then Kidpool is played by Inez Reynolds, which is their daughter.
00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:07.279
And then Babypool is played by Olin Reynolds, which is was their newborn at the time.
00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:08.320
Oh, that's crazy.
00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:09.039
That's good.
00:16:09.200 --> 00:16:12.559
Um, and then uh we have uh obviously Nice Pool is played by him.
00:16:12.639 --> 00:16:14.080
I don't know if you caught Welshpool in there.
00:16:14.159 --> 00:16:15.759
I'm a big soccer fan, as we all know.
00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:16.320
Yeah, that's right.
00:16:16.559 --> 00:16:19.120
Uh Welshpool was played by Paul Mullen, who is Rexham.
00:16:19.279 --> 00:16:19.919
Wrexham, yeah.
00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:20.559
Yeah, that's right.
00:16:20.720 --> 00:16:27.120
Um and then um the Dog Pool was literally the dog that was rated the ugliest dog in the world, won the ugliest dog in the world competition.
00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:27.919
Yes, uh perfect.
00:16:28.159 --> 00:16:45.360
If you ever get a chance to uh everybody listening and watching, if you ever get a chance to go and just YouTube the the the bloopers from this movie when uh Ryan Reynolds is trying to do like a the scene where the dog's just licking him in his mouth and he's just like so funny.
00:16:46.240 --> 00:16:54.720
Um but yeah, so there's a lot of different things in here that's cool, and one uh uh honorable mention, Rack uh Rob McElhenney was supposed to be in this movie.
00:16:54.799 --> 00:16:59.759
He said went, flew to flew to London, sh filmed a whole scene as a TV uh TVA agent.
00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:04.400
I think this was mentioned in Welcome to Rexham, which is a great documentary I highly recommend.
00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:07.920
And uh but they ended up cutting it, which was so sad.
00:17:10.079 --> 00:17:28.240
And of course,
while we're talking about variants, the Wolverine variants, so many, and of course we get to see uh Henry Cavill play Wolverine, which was a really great payoff from a whole bunch of online internet talk where everybody was like Henry Cavill, if we're gonna have another tall, big, muscular Wolverine and not a short, statured one, yeah, let it be Henry Cavill.
00:17:28.319 --> 00:17:32.880
And of course, then they and then he even says the Cavalrine in the scene, which is exactly what everybody was calling him on the internet.
00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:34.960
It just feels right, it does feel right.
00:17:35.119 --> 00:17:35.920
The Cavaline.
00:17:36.640 --> 00:17:38.559
And then when he left, it would just leave.
00:17:39.920 --> 00:17:40.480
It was good.
00:17:41.039 --> 00:17:47.599
Um I will tell you that the thing I want Cavill to actually come back and play because of his role in Witcher, yeah.
00:17:47.839 --> 00:17:51.519
I want to see a long-haired old man Magneto.
00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:53.680
And because I want because here's why.
00:17:53.759 --> 00:17:55.359
I I think we have that now.
00:17:55.599 --> 00:17:56.960
Well, I mean, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:17:57.039 --> 00:17:57.119
Right.
00:17:57.279 --> 00:17:58.480
We're getting that in Doomsday.
00:17:58.720 --> 00:17:59.519
Not quite that old.
00:17:59.680 --> 00:18:00.160
Yeah, yeah.
00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:01.279
He has long hair though.
00:18:01.440 --> 00:18:01.839
That's right.
00:18:01.920 --> 00:18:05.839
But what I um what I So I I sent this to you.
00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:14.000
Uh we're getting to the point where if Magneto is still gonna his story is that he's a Holocaust survivor.
00:18:14.160 --> 00:18:14.559
Yeah.
00:18:14.960 --> 00:18:19.359
We're getting to the point where if that's gonna be true, that was 81 years ago.
00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:20.079
Yeah.
00:18:20.559 --> 00:18:23.039
And not including any time that he was born.
00:18:23.279 --> 00:18:23.680
Right, yeah.
00:18:23.759 --> 00:18:24.000
I don't know.
00:18:24.079 --> 00:18:27.359
And in fact, I think the new Magneto that they're gonna do is not gonna have that story.
00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:29.119
Well, that that's the that's the point.
00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:51.920
But if they were gonna make an old, an older Magneto, as they're bringing in younger Scott Summers, a younger Gene Gray, younger, they're bringing in younger characters, yeah, to bring out a an actual functional older middle-aged, instead of making Xavier and Magneto be friends, we could keep the old man if we brought in like a again, Adam Drivers coming in, has already been uh brought in as Mr.
00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:52.799
Sinister, I think.
00:18:53.279 --> 00:19:02.799
And then like if we could bring in like an old Cavill, uh an older cavil to be uh because he's just such a big dude, and I don't feel like Magneto is like that big of a dude.
00:19:02.880 --> 00:19:03.839
He's actually pretty slim.
00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:14.720
But in the old in
the the X-Men 97, like when you see him and he's got the long hair and the cape and the big M, not the not the helmet, but he's that long white hair, like that that could have been the Witcher.
00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:16.240
That could have been the Witcher, you know what I mean?
00:19:16.400 --> 00:19:17.039
Fair enough, fair enough.
00:19:17.200 --> 00:19:19.759
And that that would be maybe we get Liam himself.
00:19:20.079 --> 00:19:21.440
I get a little hot Liam.
00:19:23.839 --> 00:19:26.319
Liam's just gonna keep getting Henry Cavill's crumbs.
00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:26.720
That's right.
00:19:26.880 --> 00:19:27.440
His leftovers.
00:19:27.680 --> 00:19:28.079
That's right.
00:19:28.240 --> 00:19:28.559
That's right.
00:19:28.640 --> 00:19:28.880
Yeah.
00:19:29.039 --> 00:19:30.000
His ex-wife.
00:19:31.680 --> 00:19:32.160
That's true.
00:19:32.319 --> 00:19:33.599
I just made that up.
00:19:34.079 --> 00:19:35.119
Um, all right.
00:19:35.359 --> 00:19:35.920
Pull list.
00:19:36.160 --> 00:19:36.559
Pull list.
00:19:36.720 --> 00:19:37.839
All right, what are your polls?
00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:39.759
First one is by far the opener.
00:19:40.079 --> 00:19:49.759
And you just you lead out with the in-sync background, which is a callback to how much money they had to pay Celine Dion in uh in Deadpool 1.
00:19:49.839 --> 00:19:51.759
And he's like, oh, we should have just gotten in sync.
00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:52.079
Yeah.
00:19:52.240 --> 00:19:53.119
And so they do that.
00:19:53.200 --> 00:19:55.759
They've got the they've got dance pool dancing.
00:19:55.920 --> 00:19:56.079
Yeah.
00:19:56.400 --> 00:20:00.799
Um, the uh, you know, he's like, there are 206 bones in the human body, 207.
00:20:01.039 --> 00:20:06.880
If I'm watching Gossip Girl, direct lean into Blake Lively playing that character, that's his wife, obviously.
00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:07.200
Yeah.
00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:10.799
Um, you know, we're not gonna honor Logan's legacy, we're gonna dishonor it.
00:20:11.119 --> 00:20:16.160
And then he just, I mean, the killing and that like the one part where he takes the bone and stabs the guy in the dick.
00:20:16.240 --> 00:20:18.720
It's just it's and then slides his hand down the bone.
00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:19.680
Oh my gosh.
00:20:19.920 --> 00:20:27.119
Or whenever he finally gets the claws and he stabs one in the ass and one in the nuts, and he's like, they're like they're both going like, make it stop.
00:20:27.359 --> 00:20:29.839
And he's he's stuck and he can't get him out.
00:20:30.079 --> 00:20:31.359
It's so funny.
00:20:31.519 --> 00:20:33.200
It's a classic deadpool.
00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:38.400
It makes you want to be like, okay, I'm I'm in, I'm seated, popcorn's in my hand.
00:20:38.480 --> 00:20:39.519
Let's watch this fucking movie.
00:20:39.680 --> 00:20:46.400
It did for us the the exact same thing that the opening scene to Guardians of the Galaxy 3 did, yeah, very in the opposite way.
00:20:46.720 --> 00:20:48.079
It told us what we were there to see.
00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:48.559
That's right.
00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:52.319
And maybe like maybe you didn't really know how we were gonna do it all in the beginning, but now you get it.
00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:54.799
Regardless of what we do, you know what the tone's gonna be.
00:20:54.960 --> 00:20:55.920
And so, yeah, it was great.
00:20:56.079 --> 00:20:56.559
Yep.
00:20:57.039 --> 00:20:58.960
Um, what's your first poll?
00:20:59.119 --> 00:20:59.839
I've got more, obviously.
00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:00.640
No, go ahead.
00:21:00.799 --> 00:21:01.119
Okay.
00:21:01.440 --> 00:21:09.279
Um uh I the cue the montage, where he where he's he's the again, he's fourth wall breaking, he's gonna go find the Wolverine.
00:21:09.440 --> 00:21:09.599
Right.
00:21:09.680 --> 00:21:13.440
And so then you get the montage of all the Wolverines, and I thought it was great, man.
00:21:13.680 --> 00:21:16.720
It was the very first Wolverine they show is the short one, yeah.
00:21:17.440 --> 00:21:22.079
And he even calls him out like, oh short king, comic accurate short king was great.
00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:30.799
Um, the you know, the the blades come up, and you see the Hulk and the reflection for the the fight between the um the brown suit.
00:21:30.960 --> 00:21:40.720
Um man, some of it was really dark, obviously, like the the Wolverine that had been crucified, moving all the way down to the worst Wolverine Um that they they bring in.
00:21:40.799 --> 00:21:42.799
And of course he's like, look at those pajamas.
00:21:43.440 --> 00:21:44.640
That was a great scene.
00:21:44.880 --> 00:21:49.759
Um moving forward, the very first fight between the two of them.
00:21:50.160 --> 00:21:51.759
And the first thing that happens in the void.
00:21:51.920 --> 00:21:59.759
Yeah, in the void, and the first thing that happens is um, you know, uh Logan punches him, he's now fallen down on the ground.
00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:02.000
Right in front of the Fox logo.
00:22:02.240 --> 00:22:05.759
And he's like, you know, okay, let's give them what they're asking for.
00:22:06.000 --> 00:22:07.279
You know, and they they fight.
00:22:07.839 --> 00:22:08.799
Loved that.
00:22:10.160 --> 00:22:11.039
Even more.
00:22:11.680 --> 00:22:13.119
Loved the van fight.
00:22:13.279 --> 00:22:13.519
Yeah.
00:22:13.680 --> 00:22:19.519
The van fight is like one, because you're expecting Logan to pop off and he doesn't.
00:22:19.680 --> 00:22:19.920
Right.
00:22:20.079 --> 00:22:24.559
He's like, you know, instead, he just mouths off.
00:22:24.720 --> 00:22:26.799
He becomes the Merc with the mouth.
00:22:26.880 --> 00:22:31.440
He mouths off to Deadpool and Deadpool goes, I'm going to fight you now.
00:22:31.759 --> 00:22:34.480
And they they man, fucking insane.
00:22:34.880 --> 00:22:37.599
Um again, moving forward to the next fight.
00:22:37.839 --> 00:22:43.519
The uh I mean, if we are not gonna say the entire movie is one long pull list,
yeah.
00:22:43.680 --> 00:22:45.920
Um the team up, man.
00:22:46.079 --> 00:22:52.319
You've got you've got Electra, you've got Blade, you've got X23, you've got Gambit.
00:22:52.559 --> 00:22:54.000
Man, I feel like I was born here.
00:22:54.160 --> 00:22:55.920
You know, and he's like, that's literally true.
00:22:56.079 --> 00:22:59.440
The Gambit movie got canceled, the only place it's ever shown up is in the void.
00:22:59.599 --> 00:23:03.680
Um, again, it's fourth while breaking, but but he does that like three times actually.
00:23:03.920 --> 00:23:06.559
Watching us, that's right, and watching.
00:23:06.799 --> 00:23:09.519
Um I'm not a huge Tatum fan.
00:23:09.680 --> 00:23:11.279
I do like some of the stuff he's been in.
00:23:11.440 --> 00:23:13.200
Yeah, I do like some of the stuff he's been in.
00:23:13.359 --> 00:23:16.640
Um this role is made for it.
00:23:17.039 --> 00:23:18.880
I think he's fantastic as a gambit.
00:23:19.119 --> 00:23:22.160
I think I want to see him, he's coming back, I want to see him come back.
00:23:22.400 --> 00:23:42.160
Um and then all the way, my last pull is the Deadpool core uh with like a prayer playing, and and they're and they're just cutting their way through it, and they get all the way up to baby pool, and baby pool is first crying and then starts laughing, and then they all like regenerate and come back up, except for nice pool.
00:23:42.240 --> 00:23:44.400
Yeah, he's like, How long does it take you to regenerate?
00:23:44.559 --> 00:23:45.200
Regenerate?
00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:45.839
What do you mean?
00:23:46.079 --> 00:23:46.720
Say it with me.
00:23:46.799 --> 00:23:47.599
I'm gonna live.
00:23:47.759 --> 00:23:48.559
I'm gonna live.
00:23:48.640 --> 00:23:49.440
Say it with me.
00:23:50.640 --> 00:23:59.200
Yes, it's such again, perfect amount of comedy, perfect amount of action, really good, still still telling a great story.
00:23:59.359 --> 00:24:00.640
Um, that's my pull list.
00:24:00.720 --> 00:24:01.519
What do you got?
00:24:02.000 --> 00:24:08.160
Well, mine was also the opening credits sequence, uh, which we kind of talked about, and also the Wolverine variants.
00:24:08.319 --> 00:24:17.440
Um, I will make uh an honorable mention for Chris Evans returning, but not as Captain America, right after it was still fresh in our in our hearts and minds.
00:24:17.680 --> 00:24:18.079
Oh yeah.
00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:25.039
Uh, and then we get that like little gut punch of like, oh, it's actually not Captain America, which I mean at first I'm like, oh, and then I'm like, oh, actually, this is amazing.
00:24:25.680 --> 00:24:27.440
Immediately I just start laughing.
00:24:27.599 --> 00:24:28.400
Uh it's great.
00:24:28.480 --> 00:24:37.119
Um, and then um we get a Sabertooth comeback, but only as the as a uh you wanted this for so long, but now it's over in four seconds kind of joke.
00:24:37.279 --> 00:24:38.079
Oh my gosh, yeah.
00:24:38.319 --> 00:24:39.359
Amazing, loved it.
00:24:39.440 --> 00:24:46.799
Oh it's like just to show that like he no matter when, no matter what time in the timeline this takes place, sabretooth never stood a chance.
00:24:46.960 --> 00:24:47.599
Never stood a chance.
00:24:47.920 --> 00:24:48.480
Never stood a chance.
00:24:48.559 --> 00:24:48.799
That's right.
00:24:48.960 --> 00:24:54.960
And I also like how he was like, It's your brother, but like they never acknowledge that in the storyline, except for like in the origins.
00:24:55.119 --> 00:24:55.440
Yeah.
00:24:55.599 --> 00:24:55.839
Yeah.
00:24:56.240 --> 00:25:02.480
And then also the well, I mean, I I loved this the the way back when Leah Schreiber played Sabretooth.
00:25:02.640 --> 00:25:02.960
That's what I'm saying.
00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:04.720
In X-Men Origins, yeah, that's right.
00:25:04.880 --> 00:25:06.720
Um, but I I love the whole setup.
00:25:06.880 --> 00:25:08.720
He's like, okay, people have been waiting for this forever.
00:25:08.799 --> 00:25:09.440
You look terrible.
00:25:09.519 --> 00:25:11.759
He's pulling the blades out of him and he's like, okay, get ready.
00:25:11.839 --> 00:25:16.480
Okay, all right, you're gonna ground and pound until he's not moving, and just done.
00:25:16.559 --> 00:25:16.799
Yeah.
00:25:17.279 --> 00:25:18.640
Immediately one cut.
00:25:18.720 --> 00:25:19.200
Yeah.
00:25:19.440 --> 00:25:25.359
Um, and then of course, uh, the way that Johnny Storm dies, brutal and visit in a visual way.
00:25:25.599 --> 00:25:26.720
I really love that scene.
00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:27.519
So good.
00:25:27.680 --> 00:25:31.359
Uh and then I also had the Honda Odyssey car ride.
00:25:31.440 --> 00:25:33.599
Um, and the whole fact he was like, I didn't want to get in the Odyssey.
00:25:33.680 --> 00:25:35.359
I think that was pretty funny, that whole that whole bit.
00:25:36.079 --> 00:25:38.880
But um, him making saying I made an educated wish.
00:25:39.119 --> 00:25:43.200
When he says wish, I lose it because I forget every time that's what he says.
00:25:43.519 --> 00:25:48.319
And then uh about that scene though, a couple things that go in diving into it a little bit more.
00:25:48.400 --> 00:25:52.720
Um when he says uh they they call me the Merc with the mouth.
00:25:52.880 --> 00:25:56.319
They don't call me truthful Timmy, the blowjob queen of Saskatoon.
00:25:59.359 --> 00:26:01.279
For some reason that's not got to be so hard.
00:26:01.359 --> 00:26:04.720
I rewound it and paused it with the captions to make sure I got the notes right.
00:26:04.799 --> 00:26:06.240
Because I thought it was so funny.
00:26:06.559 --> 00:26:06.880
That's right.
00:26:07.119 --> 00:26:10.640
But they dishun Canadians so much in this movie.
00:26:10.880 --> 00:26:11.359
They really do.
00:26:11.599 --> 00:26:14.400
And I mean, even in this scene, we're listening to Avril Levine.
00:26:14.720 --> 00:26:14.960
That's right.
00:26:15.039 --> 00:26:15.519
That's it.
00:26:15.680 --> 00:26:19.359
So it's like
another, another uh yeah, it's also in MySparks, the soundtrack.
00:26:19.519 --> 00:26:20.319
Oh, it's so good.
00:26:20.559 --> 00:26:29.839
But uh yeah, and then of course, my my last poll that I will mention is the very final moment when Lack of Prayer comes back, but it's the choir version.
00:26:30.799 --> 00:26:41.759
This moment was it was a cultural moment because that became like that that choir moment became like the thing we heard on every video on Instagram and TikTok, whatever.
00:26:42.000 --> 00:26:51.119
And I hold that we have to keep going there because like we've seen you can see this on Instagram, like where churches are playing the songs.
00:26:51.359 --> 00:26:52.000
Yes.
00:26:52.480 --> 00:26:54.880
Yeah, like I get it, it makes you feel things.
00:26:55.119 --> 00:26:56.559
But it's about a blowjob.
00:26:56.799 --> 00:26:58.079
It is, it's so good.
00:26:58.640 --> 00:27:00.079
Blowjob Queen of Saskatoon.
00:27:00.319 --> 00:27:02.640
You got churches singing like a prayer.
00:27:02.960 --> 00:27:03.839
Just like a prayer.
00:27:03.920 --> 00:27:04.880
I'll take you there.
00:27:05.039 --> 00:27:08.240
It's like, dude, my knees.
00:27:10.319 --> 00:27:11.680
It is really, really good.
00:27:12.000 --> 00:27:20.319
And so much so that when I hear that song, I can't associate it with any other scene except for this scene when they're literally holding hands and they're just twisting around them.
00:27:20.400 --> 00:27:27.839
We get to see, and then we get to see, of course, uh Hugh Jaguan's suit burn off, and then you get to see uh the work he really put in to become Wolverine again.
00:27:28.079 --> 00:27:28.240
That's right.
00:27:28.559 --> 00:27:28.960
Incredible.
00:27:29.279 --> 00:27:30.400
I got pretty gay in that scene.
00:27:30.799 --> 00:27:32.319
Oh my god, the abs.
00:27:32.559 --> 00:27:33.440
The abs alone.
00:27:33.519 --> 00:27:36.000
I was just like, that is the most he's never looked that good.
00:27:36.559 --> 00:27:36.880
So good.
00:27:37.200 --> 00:27:39.440
No matter how any of his younger ages, like it was impressive.
00:27:39.759 --> 00:27:40.240
Have you seen that?
00:27:40.319 --> 00:27:47.759
They've they've they've done a side by side that's all over the internet where like in his original back in the 90s, where he was like, Yeah, not defined at all.
00:27:48.160 --> 00:27:48.960
But he looked fit.
00:27:49.039 --> 00:27:54.960
Yeah, but that's because again, that that was sort of the what was normal for a 90s action flick, was not ripped out.
00:27:55.119 --> 00:27:55.359
Yeah.
00:27:55.599 --> 00:27:56.799
You didn't get like the stallone.
00:27:57.119 --> 00:28:00.720
Like the scene where he shirts off running in X1 and like right after he wakes up.
00:28:00.960 --> 00:28:03.599
He's healthy, but he's not cut and ripped up.
00:28:03.839 --> 00:28:06.640
But this this scene, you're like, oh gosh.
00:28:08.559 --> 00:28:09.359
All right, you know.
00:28:09.519 --> 00:28:10.799
Yeah, I mean,
it was good.
00:28:10.880 --> 00:28:13.039
Yeah, the pause and smoke a cigarette.
00:28:13.200 --> 00:28:14.480
He had a lot of oil on that skin.
00:28:14.640 --> 00:28:15.599
I don't even smoke.
00:28:15.680 --> 00:28:18.319
I mean, you're like, damn.
00:28:19.519 --> 00:28:21.279
Give me a second, I'd have to adjust my pants.
00:28:21.440 --> 00:28:22.400
It's weird.
00:28:23.519 --> 00:28:26.079
207 of them watching Deadpool in the Green.
00:28:26.640 --> 00:28:29.680
Specifically huge, huge Ackman.
00:28:34.000 --> 00:28:34.960
So stupid.
00:28:35.119 --> 00:28:35.680
I know.
00:28:35.839 --> 00:28:36.400
I know.
00:28:36.640 --> 00:28:36.960
All right.
00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:39.599
Well, let's move on to Spark and Fizzle, I think.
00:28:39.680 --> 00:28:41.519
Uh, go ahead, take your sip of whiskey.
00:28:42.079 --> 00:28:43.039
I need a minute.
00:28:43.279 --> 00:28:43.599
Okay.
00:28:43.759 --> 00:28:43.920
Yeah.
00:28:44.160 --> 00:28:46.480
Do you know where Huge Ackman comes from?
00:28:47.200 --> 00:28:47.519
No.
00:28:48.400 --> 00:28:50.240
So it's a night of the museum movie.
00:28:50.319 --> 00:28:51.680
I think it's three or two.
00:28:51.759 --> 00:28:52.960
It's the one where they go to London.
00:28:53.200 --> 00:28:53.359
Sure.
00:28:53.519 --> 00:28:59.759
And it's the guy that plays Matthew in um fucking Downton Abbey.
00:29:00.160 --> 00:29:02.240
That guy, the guy that plays Legion.
00:29:02.799 --> 00:29:04.640
He plays in the Night of the Museum movie.
00:29:04.720 --> 00:29:06.240
He plays, he plays Lancelot.
00:29:06.319 --> 00:29:06.640
Yeah.
00:29:06.880 --> 00:29:11.759
And uh, and he's like trying to find his Guinevere, but he doesn't know he's a wax statue.
00:29:11.839 --> 00:29:12.000
Yeah.
00:29:12.160 --> 00:29:18.079
And he finds out that there's a production of Camelot happening, so he runs in and it's Hugh Jackman playing Arthur.
00:29:18.400 --> 00:29:20.319
And he's like, You're a coward, Arthur.
00:29:20.480 --> 00:29:25.279
And he's like, This is a huge, you need to go watch this movie because it's a perfect Wolverine scene.
00:29:25.359 --> 00:29:26.799
It's really funny.
00:29:27.039 --> 00:29:27.359
All right.
00:29:27.440 --> 00:29:32.079
Uh, but he's like, no, this is he's like, I might almost I'm Hugh Jackman.
00:29:32.240 --> 00:29:33.759
And he's Huge Ackman?
00:29:34.240 --> 00:29:38.319
Arthur, what kind of coward are you that you won't even use your own name?
00:29:38.559 --> 00:29:40.000
It's it's anyway, it's funny.
00:29:40.079 --> 00:29:40.720
But okay.
00:29:40.880 --> 00:29:41.839
All right, spark and fizzle.
00:29:42.000 --> 00:29:42.640
Spark and fizzle.
00:29:42.720 --> 00:29:43.359
What are your sparks?
00:29:43.440 --> 00:29:45.680
Sparks for me first blind owl, crushes it.
00:29:45.839 --> 00:29:51.759
Um, I love the constant cocaine references, and they're like Marvel says we or Disney says we can't do cocaine.
00:29:51.920 --> 00:29:52.400
Yep.
00:29:52.720 --> 00:30:01.359
Um,
we get the first time we've actually seen a very animalistic fighting style from Wolverine where he's crawling on the ground all fours above that.
00:30:01.599 --> 00:30:05.839
And like a famous scene where we get it at the end with the helmet with the helmet at the end.
00:30:06.240 --> 00:30:07.200
That's so good.
00:30:07.519 --> 00:30:20.960
Um the uh so you said this already, but uh the hilarious flame on moment where um Deadpool is thinking he's about to say Avenge of the Symbol and he says flame on instead, and it's like what is perfect.
00:30:21.119 --> 00:30:24.960
Um I liked uh Dead Ant-Man being Cassandra Nova's lair.
00:30:25.119 --> 00:30:27.200
Yeah, and he's like, Paul Rudd finally aged.
00:30:27.359 --> 00:30:36.640
Um all the cameos again, snipes and um um garner, and all it's so good.
00:30:36.799 --> 00:30:38.319
Um, I meant you already mentioned this.
00:30:38.480 --> 00:30:40.799
Avril Levine's Damn Cold Night comes up.
00:30:40.880 --> 00:30:42.240
It's another Canadian playing.
00:30:43.119 --> 00:30:43.839
That's what it's actually called.
00:30:44.240 --> 00:30:44.720
Oh, really?
00:30:44.799 --> 00:30:46.559
Yeah, uh the song's called I'm With You.
00:30:46.640 --> 00:30:46.880
Uh-huh.
00:30:46.960 --> 00:30:49.920
Um, what's funny is it reminded me there was a this is young gal.
00:30:50.079 --> 00:30:51.599
I was I was young too.
00:30:51.759 --> 00:30:52.720
It's not weird.
00:30:53.039 --> 00:30:55.119
But um Thanks for that clarification.
00:30:55.440 --> 00:30:56.799
2026, I need to be careful.
00:30:56.880 --> 00:30:57.200
Yeah.
00:30:57.359 --> 00:31:04.079
Uh but there's uh we I was young, there's a young family, and there's one one gal, she was really interested in Avril Levine.
00:31:04.160 --> 00:31:05.359
I had never heard of her.
00:31:05.440 --> 00:31:14.960
Oh, this was in Charleston, it was in the Navy, and she she this is one of the one of the few songs that she would actually like just sing, like we'd all be out together, and she'd be like, she would walk around and say that.
00:31:15.039 --> 00:31:20.240
So and hearing it the first time, and the first time I watched this movie, I was like, oh gosh, I wonder how Allie's doing.
00:31:21.039 --> 00:31:21.839
Yeah, that's right.
00:31:21.920 --> 00:31:22.720
It was weird.
00:31:22.960 --> 00:31:32.880
Um I liked again Electroblade and Gambit's reveal, uh Deadpool's Deadpool's reaction to Magneto's death.
00:31:33.039 --> 00:31:35.359
Quote, now Disney gets cheap.
00:31:35.440 --> 00:31:43.119
It's like Pinocchio jammed his face in my ass and started lying like it's started lying like crazy.
00:31:43.200 --> 00:31:45.440
And then Gambit's like, whoa, you nasty.
00:31:46.880 --> 00:31:47.599
So good.
00:31:47.759 --> 00:31:48.960
I love that space.
00:31:49.200 --> 00:32:00.559
Um the uh the the real bit here, the spark where he's like, Hey, I need a Wolverine because and he says the phrase he says is like, I know how to fuck people up for money.
00:32:00.640 --> 00:32:02.240
I don't know shit about saving people.
00:32:02.400 --> 00:32:04.000
I need you for that, right?
00:32:04.079 --> 00:32:06.319
Yeah, and uh I liked that.
00:32:06.480 --> 00:32:14.079
Um I love that um Wolverine gets really close to breaking the fourth wall whenever um who's the fire guy?
00:32:14.240 --> 00:32:14.720
Pyro?
00:32:14.960 --> 00:32:15.599
Is that his name?
00:32:15.839 --> 00:32:18.799
And he's like he starts to talk and he's like not everybody gets a speech.
00:32:19.440 --> 00:32:21.119
He's like, not everybody gets a speech.
00:32:21.359 --> 00:32:25.119
It's good because earlier on you saw you know, no speaking lines buck.
00:32:25.200 --> 00:32:25.440
Uh-huh.
00:32:25.599 --> 00:32:25.759
Right.
00:32:25.839 --> 00:32:27.920
So you you get to play that space.
00:32:28.079 --> 00:32:31.279
Uh and the last one, it just struck me as so funny.
00:32:31.440 --> 00:32:37.519
Uh Blade says, uh uh some motherfucker still trying to skate uphill.
00:32:37.759 --> 00:32:40.480
And you're like, so good.
00:32:40.720 --> 00:32:41.680
It's so good.
00:32:41.839 --> 00:32:42.000
Yeah.
00:32:42.160 --> 00:32:45.279
You're like, man, this guy's not getting a lot of lines, but they're good lines.
00:32:45.519 --> 00:32:46.400
Yeah, they're good lines.
00:32:46.480 --> 00:32:49.119
They they did uh they paid homage to him for sure.
00:32:49.359 --> 00:32:49.839
What about you?
00:32:50.079 --> 00:32:50.240
All right.
00:32:50.319 --> 00:32:53.599
My next spark is uh actually just Matthew McFaddy and as a character.
00:32:53.680 --> 00:32:55.119
I thought he was really, really good in this.
00:32:55.279 --> 00:32:56.160
I loved him as Mr.
00:32:56.240 --> 00:32:56.640
Paradox.
00:32:56.720 --> 00:32:58.000
I've loved him for really a long time.
00:32:58.160 --> 00:33:02.480
He was one of my favorite characters in one of my favorite TV shows uh succession.
00:33:02.640 --> 00:33:06.480
But he I to for me, he goes all the way back to an old movie called Death at a Funeral.
00:33:06.720 --> 00:33:12.720
If you haven't watched it, uh whoever's listening, absolutely incredible movie, really, really great, dry British comedy.
00:33:12.880 --> 00:33:13.359
Oh yeah.
00:33:13.599 --> 00:33:14.480
It's it's ridiculous.
00:33:14.960 --> 00:33:16.079
Oh, I mean you watch it sometime.
00:33:16.160 --> 00:33:17.279
I'd like to show that movie to you.
00:33:17.440 --> 00:33:18.000
It's really funny.
00:33:18.240 --> 00:33:18.799
I love to.
00:33:18.960 --> 00:33:22.880
He's a fucking heartthrob in the uh remake of Pride and Prejudice.
00:33:23.039 --> 00:33:23.200
Sure.
00:33:23.920 --> 00:33:34.079
Like I I so I'm I'm I'm again a nomad to a lot of these stories, but um Jane Austen uh books and Jane Austen movies, I they were I was new to those.
00:33:34.400 --> 00:33:38.640
Um watched that with Kira Knightley, and I was like, damn, um both of them are doing great.
00:33:38.799 --> 00:33:45.200
Um I did like the soundtrack and the
the use of these songs, it's just it was great.
00:33:45.359 --> 00:33:49.599
Um and then the the what really caught me, the music when Blade walks in.
00:33:49.920 --> 00:33:51.519
Fucking badass.
00:33:52.240 --> 00:33:52.880
Yes, yeah.
00:33:52.960 --> 00:33:56.000
I didn't I didn't put it down in my sparks, but man, it changed me.
00:33:56.160 --> 00:33:57.599
I was like, what is happening?
00:33:57.920 --> 00:34:01.519
My literal guitar the music fucks hard.
00:34:01.839 --> 00:34:03.279
Just fucks hard.
00:34:04.559 --> 00:34:06.000
And also you hear the growls.
00:34:06.079 --> 00:34:06.799
Oh, the growls, yeah.
00:34:07.039 --> 00:34:12.320
Which is which is very much from the if you remember from the Blade trilogy, every time the vampires came on, they would growl.
00:34:12.480 --> 00:34:14.239
They would be like a they'd be like, yeah, man.
00:34:14.480 --> 00:34:14.960
It was good.
00:34:15.199 --> 00:34:27.119
I rem it it took me back because I remember I in fact it took me back to the point where the lat not this time, but the previous time that I watched uh Deadpool and Wolverine, it made me want to go back and watch Blade.
00:34:27.199 --> 00:34:28.159
I watched Blade 1 and 2.
00:34:28.480 --> 00:34:30.400
I didn't watch Blade 3, but I watched Blade 1 and 2.
00:34:30.639 --> 00:34:31.280
It's fair.
00:34:31.519 --> 00:34:33.440
Um that's all of my sparks.
00:34:33.599 --> 00:34:34.400
You got any fizzles?
00:34:34.559 --> 00:34:39.039
Yeah, funny enough, even though we've already said yes to him, um, Paradox kind of fizzled for me.
00:34:39.599 --> 00:34:41.519
Now I mean he gets ridiculous at the end.
00:34:41.679 --> 00:34:43.199
That's why I liked him in the beginning.
00:34:43.280 --> 00:34:43.599
Mm-hmm.
00:34:43.679 --> 00:34:43.760
Yeah.
00:34:43.840 --> 00:34:48.960
So Matthew McFaddian does not uh disappoint as an actor.
00:34:49.119 --> 00:34:51.920
Uh the character of Paradox bothered me.
00:34:52.159 --> 00:34:55.199
Yeah, they kind of lose they lose the plot for his character.
00:34:55.599 --> 00:35:02.400
But I mean, amongst all of what I felt like was genius comedy, I get that they he was playing into that space too.
00:35:02.559 --> 00:35:02.800
Right.
00:35:02.960 --> 00:35:05.119
And um, and it just it just didn't land.
00:35:05.280 --> 00:35:15.679
Um notice that when you went through all the different variants of Wolverine, there was different variants of uh different variations of uh facial hair and and and hair hair.
00:35:15.840 --> 00:35:16.480
Yeah.
00:35:16.800 --> 00:35:23.360
Um I wanted from Wolverine Origins the actual sort of spiky side hair.
00:35:23.519 --> 00:35:23.760
Yeah.
00:35:24.000 --> 00:35:29.599
You kind of get it with this version, but it's because it's messy.
00:35:29.920 --> 00:35:30.159
Yeah.
00:35:30.320 --> 00:35:33.920
And I just I just remember looking at that going like, he just looks like unwashed.
00:35:34.159 --> 00:35:36.320
Yeah, it's not Wolverine's hair.
00:35:36.400 --> 00:35:36.639
Right.
00:35:36.800 --> 00:35:39.920
It's just unwashed Wolverine, uh, which is fine.
00:35:40.239 --> 00:35:48.880
Um and then the the one, I mean, this is such a minor fizzle compared to the fact that I given the fact that I actually like the entire scene.
00:35:49.119 --> 00:35:54.880
Um, but the the team up scene, they're all meta-narrating their desire to be remembered.
00:35:55.039 --> 00:35:55.280
Yeah.
00:35:55.440 --> 00:36:03.920
And these are all characters who have been like when I watched Blade as a kid when it came out in the 90s, I I did not realize that was a Marvel character.
00:36:04.079 --> 00:36:04.320
Yeah.
00:36:04.480 --> 00:36:06.400
Because I I I'm just not a big comic fan.
00:36:06.559 --> 00:36:06.719
Right.
00:36:06.880 --> 00:36:09.440
Uh Electra gets lost in the mix, right?
00:36:09.599 --> 00:36:12.159
Gambit was meant to come to the screen and never did.
00:36:12.239 --> 00:36:23.599
So every it makes sense that every one of them want to be remembered, but it was just it felt a little bit like it was a it was a weird, like inspirational scene, but how we're gonna be remembered.
00:36:23.760 --> 00:36:26.800
And it's like, okay, sure.
00:36:27.199 --> 00:36:32.159
I kind of took that scene more of like it being comedic, like they want to be remembered, but we don't want to remember them.
00:36:32.480 --> 00:36:34.719
So like it was like this constant joke.
00:36:34.800 --> 00:36:38.800
And then of course you get Gambit being like, uh, Or be introduced.
00:36:39.039 --> 00:36:39.599
Yeah, that's right.
00:36:40.480 --> 00:36:41.119
Or whatever he says.
00:36:41.280 --> 00:36:43.440
He says something that's like, I don't I I don't have a legend.
00:36:43.679 --> 00:36:48.480
I don't have a his con his whole bit around like a shot out of my daddy's.
00:36:48.719 --> 00:36:49.039
Oh my god.
00:36:49.360 --> 00:36:50.000
Oh my gosh.
00:36:50.800 --> 00:36:53.199
Oh it's so much, and then it's so good.
00:36:53.599 --> 00:37:00.159
And then uh Ryan Reynolds get or uh Deadpool and get in in uh the lines are blurred.
00:37:00.239 --> 00:37:00.400
Yeah.
00:37:00.559 --> 00:37:05.599
Um saying, like, who is your I got and I want to say this nicely, who is your dialect coach?
00:37:06.639 --> 00:37:08.320
Which is crazy because Judy actually is.
00:37:08.639 --> 00:37:10.880
Tatum Tatum is is from Louisiana.
00:37:11.119 --> 00:37:12.320
He is in fact Cajun.
00:37:12.559 --> 00:37:14.800
And so that accent is actually I grew up.
00:37:15.119 --> 00:37:16.159
Said it's from his family, yeah.
00:37:16.400 --> 00:37:17.679
So I grew up in Southeast Texas.
00:37:17.840 --> 00:37:23.039
Most of my when when I tell people I grew up in Texas, most of the time they think, um, cowboys?
00:37:23.440 --> 00:37:24.719
That's actually Austin.
00:37:24.880 --> 00:37:25.199
Yeah.
00:37:25.440 --> 00:37:26.400
That's not true.
00:37:26.480 --> 00:37:30.239
I grew up on the Sabine Delta, which is on the border of Louisiana.
00:37:30.480 --> 00:37:32.559
Most of my family is Cajun.
00:37:33.199 --> 00:37:38.719
So I will tell you, um, Tatum is crushing a a Cajun accent.
00:37:38.800 --> 00:37:40.239
It's it's exactly correct.
00:37:40.480 --> 00:37:44.000
So that's why that's funny, is that most people can't understand it.
00:37:44.079 --> 00:37:48.719
And so Reynolds is calling out that people can't understand it by saying it's the wrong accent.
00:37:48.800 --> 00:37:50.159
It's not, it's exactly correct.
00:37:50.320 --> 00:37:50.719
Yeah.
00:37:50.960 --> 00:37:59.199
If I had to pick a fizzle at all, because I really didn't have any, but if I had to pick one, I would say having Electra in this at all was seemed it felt like it was like just an extra.
00:37:59.280 --> 00:38:03.199
Like they needed one other person, and whoever that person was couldn't do it, so they got her.
00:38:03.360 --> 00:38:05.599
God, I so I cannot disagree more.
00:38:05.760 --> 00:38:06.079
Yeah.
00:38:06.320 --> 00:38:07.199
I loved it.
00:38:07.360 --> 00:38:12.880
I loved the when they were going through the list of people that died, yeah, and they're like, Oh yeah, and Daredevil died.
00:38:12.960 --> 00:38:13.599
And it's like, I'm sorry.
00:38:13.760 --> 00:38:14.559
She's like, it's fine.
00:38:14.639 --> 00:38:14.800
Yeah.
00:38:15.119 --> 00:38:18.320
Because she and Ben F like had a notorious messy divorce.
00:38:18.480 --> 00:38:18.880
Right.
00:38:19.119 --> 00:38:21.440
It's no it's fine.
00:38:21.599 --> 00:38:22.320
It's just so fast.
00:38:22.800 --> 00:38:23.920
I'm not saying that it was bad.
00:38:24.079 --> 00:38:25.039
She was bad in the movie.
00:38:25.119 --> 00:38:30.960
I'm just saying if you if you zoom out, sure there's a lot of characters they could have put in there that was not her.
00:38:31.119 --> 00:38:33.599
Like nobody liked her when she was first put into a movie.
00:38:33.679 --> 00:38:34.480
Nobody liked her character.
00:38:34.800 --> 00:38:36.639
But that's it that again, again.
00:38:36.880 --> 00:38:37.679
I hear you.
00:38:38.000 --> 00:38:42.480
People at least liked Blade, and they also really wanted Gambit, but like her.
00:38:42.559 --> 00:38:43.440
She's the one character.
00:38:43.519 --> 00:38:44.559
I guess maybe that's why they did it.
00:38:44.639 --> 00:38:47.199
It's just she's the character that nobody would have thought would have come back.
00:38:47.440 --> 00:38:47.679
Yeah.
00:38:47.920 --> 00:38:49.760
Sometimes you talk yourself out of it.
00:38:50.719 --> 00:38:52.000
I don't have to talk you out of it.
00:38:52.079 --> 00:38:52.480
You did it.
00:38:52.639 --> 00:38:52.719
Yeah.
00:38:52.880 --> 00:38:53.119
Yeah.
00:38:53.199 --> 00:38:54.480
I I I hear you.
00:38:54.639 --> 00:38:54.880
Yeah.
00:38:55.119 --> 00:38:57.360
And I I'm still like, it's it was perfect.
00:38:57.519 --> 00:38:57.679
Okay.
00:38:57.840 --> 00:38:58.559
It was to me.
00:38:58.800 --> 00:39:00.400
Like I said, it's just me nitpicking at that point.
00:39:00.880 --> 00:39:01.519
Like I didn't.
00:39:01.760 --> 00:39:03.840
My fizzles literally say, none.
00:39:03.920 --> 00:39:06.960
This is a film that knows exactly what it is and executes it.
00:39:07.199 --> 00:39:08.639
Argue at your own risk.
00:39:08.880 --> 00:39:09.599
Like it was perfect.
00:39:09.920 --> 00:39:11.199
It was such a good movie from Gaines.
00:39:11.760 --> 00:39:21.840
She walks out, and and of course, somebody who doesn't give a shit didn't know maybe they're teenagers and they haven't seen those other movies, didn't know that Ben Affleck ever played Daredevil.
00:39:22.079 --> 00:39:22.320
Right.
00:39:22.480 --> 00:39:25.440
That for them, they're like Yeah, right.
00:39:25.599 --> 00:39:26.000
That's right.
00:39:26.239 --> 00:39:27.840
For them, they're like, who's the chicken red?
00:39:28.079 --> 00:39:28.480
Who cares?
00:39:28.639 --> 00:39:30.719
But for people like us, yeah.
00:39:30.960 --> 00:39:33.199
We looked at that and went, oh shit.
00:39:33.360 --> 00:39:33.599
Yeah.
00:39:33.920 --> 00:39:36.159
That was that was exactly what it was meant to do.
00:39:36.400 --> 00:39:37.519
It was fun to watch in theaters.
00:39:37.599 --> 00:39:38.079
I'll say that.
00:39:38.239 --> 00:39:39.280
It was some really great moments.
00:39:39.519 --> 00:39:40.079
Such a blast.
00:39:40.159 --> 00:39:42.559
I didn't this is another one I did get to watch in theaters at that point.
00:39:42.800 --> 00:39:43.679
Oh, that one's so sad.
00:39:43.760 --> 00:39:44.880
It's uh eat it was good.
00:39:45.199 --> 00:39:47.199
It was like no way home level like reactions.
00:39:47.360 --> 00:39:47.760
It was fun.
00:39:48.079 --> 00:39:48.320
All right.
00:39:48.400 --> 00:39:50.239
Well, let's move on to the gutter.
00:39:50.800 --> 00:39:52.079
What's your first gutter moment?
00:39:52.320 --> 00:39:54.960
Number one is the need to belong.
00:39:55.599 --> 00:39:55.920
Yeah.
00:39:56.239 --> 00:40:02.320
I mean, from the very first scene, not the first scene, but for the from the moment where um Happy Hogan.
00:40:02.559 --> 00:40:06.239
Yeah, sit in front of Happy and he's like, I just need I need to be part of this.
00:40:06.320 --> 00:40:07.119
Is the A team.
00:40:07.199 --> 00:40:08.079
I need to be on the team.
00:40:08.159 --> 00:40:09.679
I need to be, I need to matter.
00:40:09.840 --> 00:40:11.119
I need to matter.
00:40:11.440 --> 00:40:21.840
Um one of the things that's true about Deadpool, because he's so overpowered, but also is in the comics, he's an anti-hero.
00:40:22.239 --> 00:40:25.119
His his fatal flaw is that he doesn't give a shit.
00:40:25.519 --> 00:40:25.920
Right.
00:40:26.480 --> 00:40:33.360
And then when he finally starts to give a shit, he's already built a whole pattern of not giving a shit.
00:40:33.440 --> 00:40:33.679
Right.
00:40:34.000 --> 00:40:36.000
Everyone around him can't take him seriously.
00:40:36.079 --> 00:40:37.519
He's just a mercenary.
00:40:37.920 --> 00:40:50.559
And so when he comes to this end of a trilogy, end of a franchise, and you've got him as a character, both Ryan Reynolds is a person, Deathpool is a person that talks to us.
00:40:50.639 --> 00:40:52.480
That's what fourth wall means.
00:40:52.639 --> 00:41:00.559
Um, and he he really wants to matter, he wants to be significant, he wants to be Marvel's Jesus, or at least Marvel's somebody.
00:41:00.800 --> 00:41:01.039
Right.
00:41:01.199 --> 00:41:06.320
And for Hogan to be like, dude, you need to go work on yourself for a little while, do some street level shit.
00:41:06.559 --> 00:41:17.119
Now that was it was good advice in the beginning, but then when he was like, I think maybe you're just street level uh hero and you're not super level, I'm like, but then Hawkeye and Black Widow is right.
00:41:17.440 --> 00:41:19.599
At least he can regenerate and not die.
00:41:19.920 --> 00:41:20.400
Like what?
00:41:20.559 --> 00:41:21.280
Like, yeah, come on.
00:41:21.519 --> 00:41:21.760
That's right.
00:41:22.079 --> 00:41:29.840
But but I think it was more about um and this is the the need to belong without having cultivated the maturity that would get him invited.
00:41:30.239 --> 00:41:30.719
No, for sure.
00:41:30.960 --> 00:41:40.880
And and what Happy says is really poignant where he was like, you know, you want to be on this team because you want to be needed, but the other the the other people are here because they uh They are needed.
00:41:41.119 --> 00:41:41.599
They are needed.
00:41:41.760 --> 00:41:42.639
They're needed by other people.
00:41:42.960 --> 00:41:43.519
Yeah, exactly.
00:41:43.840 --> 00:41:44.800
You need to be here.
00:41:45.039 --> 00:41:46.480
You need to need to be here.
00:41:46.559 --> 00:41:46.639
Yeah.
00:41:46.800 --> 00:41:48.400
The other people are here because other people need them.
00:41:48.559 --> 00:41:49.039
Yeah, that's right.
00:41:49.360 --> 00:41:49.599
Exactly.
00:41:49.679 --> 00:41:50.079
Yeah.
00:41:50.719 --> 00:41:59.280
Uh my first gutter moment is uh the Thor and uh Deadpool Thor crying scene in the screen.
00:41:59.519 --> 00:42:00.239
What the fuck?
00:42:00.480 --> 00:42:02.639
Yeah like more so now than ever.
00:42:02.800 --> 00:42:06.800
The only plausible place that if that's if that's a scene that comes back, and gotta hope it is.
00:42:06.960 --> 00:42:11.199
I hope that Deadpool dies because of the scene that we saw in Deadpool and Wolverine.
00:42:11.440 --> 00:42:19.519
I think it would be so good because it's like again, kind of breaking, not maybe not breaking the fourth wall, but it definitely takes you out of this like we randomly see the scene.
00:42:19.599 --> 00:42:25.519
He brings it up multiple times after that, and then we see him like it just constantly is a recurring theme.
00:42:25.599 --> 00:42:27.440
Why why would they not go back to that?
00:42:27.519 --> 00:42:29.760
I really, really hope that it doesn't get retconned.
00:42:29.840 --> 00:42:30.880
I want him to die
that way.
00:42:30.960 --> 00:42:33.280
Maybe in Secret Wars, that seems the most plausible place.
00:42:33.599 --> 00:42:37.840
Secret Wars, I don't know if Thor would cry over Deadpool, but I think it was pretty funny.
00:42:38.239 --> 00:42:44.320
The question would be what mm could you tell a story, could you tell a subplot that would make that make sense?
00:42:44.559 --> 00:42:45.119
Right, exactly.
00:42:45.199 --> 00:42:46.079
Yeah, let's get creative.
00:42:46.320 --> 00:42:54.960
Given how ridiculous at this point Thor has been in like Love and Thunder, like to give him some time to actually be with a merc, but him be the mature one.
00:42:55.280 --> 00:42:55.440
Yeah.
00:42:55.599 --> 00:42:56.400
That'd be interesting.
00:42:56.480 --> 00:42:56.960
Yeah.
00:42:57.599 --> 00:42:59.599
But yeah, that's my that's my first one.
00:43:00.239 --> 00:43:10.559
He he's talking to Wolverine and he says, I need to go save my world, but then he holds up a photo and he's like, My whole world is right here in this picture.
00:43:10.800 --> 00:43:10.960
Yeah.
00:43:11.360 --> 00:43:12.559
There's nine of us.
00:43:13.440 --> 00:43:20.079
Um in in meet space, real life.
00:43:20.400 --> 00:43:25.039
Um there are eight eight and a half billion people in the world.
00:43:26.880 --> 00:43:29.280
Um there are about ten.
00:43:31.280 --> 00:43:37.920
Ten people in the world that if they went away, I would have no connection to this this mortal plane.
00:43:38.079 --> 00:43:38.400
Yeah.
00:43:38.559 --> 00:43:42.159
I'd have to go rebuild it or find it, or I'd have to go find something else.
00:43:42.800 --> 00:43:54.079
Um, and so to sit with that for a minute and go, what what is it that I mean, Deadpool is a this is a this is a movie, it's for entertainment purposes.
00:43:54.320 --> 00:43:58.559
But it gave me a moment to go, all right, who are my ten?
00:43:58.960 --> 00:43:59.760
Who are my nine?
00:44:00.480 --> 00:44:10.320
Who are my people that and if I lost them I could go find other friends, but I would experience a permanent loss.
00:44:11.280 --> 00:44:17.920
Um it's certainly my three kids, it's certainly my ex-wife who um we will never get back together.
00:44:18.000 --> 00:44:22.559
You can put it on the internet, but um she will remain a friend of mine.
00:44:22.960 --> 00:44:23.199
Sure.
00:44:23.599 --> 00:44:26.239
We've lived a huge amount of your life together.
00:44:26.400 --> 00:44:29.360
Yeah, it's it's even it's a blessing that you can even do that.
00:44:29.440 --> 00:44:30.000
Some people can't.
00:44:30.239 --> 00:44:30.639
That's right.
00:44:30.800 --> 00:44:36.719
And uh if I live to average life expectancy, it will still have been a quarter of my life I spent with her.
00:44:37.119 --> 00:44:37.599
Right.
00:44:37.840 --> 00:44:42.400
Um because I spent 20 years and average life eighty-seven, so I spent twenty-one years with her.
00:44:42.559 --> 00:44:46.960
So um so yeah, uh I tearing up.
00:44:47.199 --> 00:44:48.159
You you're in that.
00:44:48.480 --> 00:44:48.880
You're in that.
00:44:48.960 --> 00:45:06.559
We've had too much of a of a good story this year and uh it connects too far back to 15 years of my forty-three, and it also connects too deeply to my spirituality for me to go like if something happened to Cody or Madison, y'all are in that.
00:45:06.800 --> 00:45:07.119
Anna.
00:45:07.280 --> 00:45:08.000
Yeah, certainly.
00:45:08.719 --> 00:45:12.159
Um there's a guy that probably doesn't know this about himself.
00:45:12.800 --> 00:45:14.400
Um his name is Dale.
00:45:15.199 --> 00:45:20.880
And there's a 0% chance he ever sees this, um, just because we aren't really in relationship anymore.
00:45:21.039 --> 00:45:24.239
But he doesn't know that um I survived because of him.
00:45:24.320 --> 00:45:29.519
We met in the sixth grade and we were he was my best friend until the twelfth grade.
00:45:30.320 --> 00:45:38.320
And then uh he and I joined the military at the same time, but he deferred his enlistment and went to Texas AM and became an officer.
00:45:38.480 --> 00:45:40.159
He four years of college became an officer.
00:45:40.239 --> 00:45:44.400
So by the time he actually activated in the military, I'd already been in the Navy for four years.
00:45:45.440 --> 00:45:54.239
Um his wife, I mean, for about seven minutes, his when we were all in school together, she and I dated.
00:45:54.559 --> 00:45:58.719
Uh, just enough time for her to realize that it wasn't gonna work, and she was right.
00:45:58.800 --> 00:46:02.719
I was I was not I was not healthy as a high school kid.
00:46:02.960 --> 00:46:03.119
Yeah.
00:46:03.679 --> 00:46:05.199
Who is I wasn't.
00:46:05.599 --> 00:46:07.599
There were some, I was not one of them.
00:46:08.000 --> 00:46:11.519
Um she was one of them, and so fucking was Dale, by the way.
00:46:12.000 --> 00:46:23.760
Um but yeah, there's a there's a there's a handful of people, some very present, some very far away, that um that if I could put them on a photo, I'd be like, I'd be like, fuck the rest of the world.
00:46:23.920 --> 00:46:24.800
Don't get me wrong.
00:46:24.880 --> 00:46:29.119
I d I don't want anyone to be hurt, but these are the ones that are gonna matter.
00:46:29.760 --> 00:46:30.079
Yeah.
00:46:30.239 --> 00:46:32.239
Yeah, I'd say you're on my list.
00:46:34.079 --> 00:46:36.000
Uh and I think I only have five people.
00:46:36.159 --> 00:46:41.280
So I'm sitting here right now counting brother, mother, father, me.
00:46:41.840 --> 00:46:43.199
We shouldn't do this out loud on this episode.
00:46:43.840 --> 00:46:44.320
Madison.
00:46:45.199 --> 00:46:46.559
Let's just not do that.
00:46:46.719 --> 00:46:47.920
We're not going down that road.
00:46:48.000 --> 00:46:49.199
Yeah, I'll let you cut that later on.
00:46:50.079 --> 00:46:53.280
I don't want people to know that my that I have five people.
00:46:53.760 --> 00:46:54.800
Um yeah, anyway.
00:46:55.119 --> 00:46:55.840
Love it.
00:46:56.079 -->
00:46:58.239
Um did you go to your next gutter?
00:46:58.320 --> 00:46:58.480
You did.
00:46:58.559 --> 00:46:59.280
So that was one.
00:46:59.760 --> 00:47:00.159
Yeah, okay.
00:47:00.239 --> 00:47:05.519
So my next gutter is uh so the resistance hideout, did you happen to catch?
00:47:05.679 --> 00:47:07.519
I caught it way more this time.
00:47:07.760 --> 00:47:10.880
The whole room was purposefully built.
00:47:11.039 --> 00:47:12.239
I looked it up to confirm it.
00:47:12.320 --> 00:47:18.000
It was purposely built from old um uh props from all the other MCU movies.
00:47:18.159 --> 00:47:30.800
Oh, so like because the first thing you look at when you see there, I mean, well, the very first thing you look at is they show the ceiling, which is now that I've watched these movies so close together, that is Wanda's statue from Wandagore.
00:47:31.119 --> 00:47:31.360
Oh.
00:47:31.840 --> 00:47:38.480
And they literally just because it just made them like literally the person who was in charge was like, Oh, I happen to see this Wandagore statue.
00:47:38.639 --> 00:47:40.320
We'll just use that and put it into the ceiling.
00:47:40.559 --> 00:47:41.280
I didn't see it at all.
00:47:41.519 --> 00:47:46.320
Oh, yeah, it's the first thing they show when they show you and then they zoom into the room, is they show that statue.
00:47:46.400 --> 00:47:50.639
And then the next thing that I noticed was the pool in the middle, which I think has to come from Moon Knight.
00:47:50.880 --> 00:48:01.679
But if there's there's all of the walls, if you if you could probably rewind and watch that a bunch of times, but apparently everything in there is all like old like relics uh essentially from all the other uh Marvel.
00:48:02.239 --> 00:48:04.480
Which is in key in keeping with the whole idea of the void.
00:48:04.800 --> 00:48:05.119
Exactly.
00:48:05.280 --> 00:48:11.440
That moon that sh that room is built to represent the void, which is where all lost things have gone, all rejected things have gone.
00:48:11.519 --> 00:48:12.480
And so that's what it is.
00:48:12.639 --> 00:48:13.920
Uh and so it's interesting.
00:48:14.000 --> 00:48:20.719
I just thought it was an interesting side note with him talking about um, you know, usually a man would ask before he starts drinking another man's liquor.
00:48:21.119 --> 00:48:23.039
And he's like, Good thing I don't give a fuck.
00:48:25.039 --> 00:48:27.360
And then he hits it with the throws the card.
00:48:27.679 --> 00:48:33.119
And then my favorite part is when uh he uh uh Wolverine picks up another bottle and he goes, uh what is he?
00:48:33.280 --> 00:48:34.800
He's it's something so out of character.
00:48:35.199 --> 00:48:36.400
It's like boo, boop, boo.
00:48:37.280 --> 00:48:37.679
Yeah, that's right.
00:48:37.840 --> 00:48:38.559
Yeah, like what?
00:48:38.800 --> 00:48:39.920
Yeah, yeah, it's so good.
00:48:40.079 --> 00:48:40.480
So good.
00:48:40.800 --> 00:48:48.400
Um my next gutter moment, um, this
is X23, it's Laura talking to um Logan, and uh, he's like, I'm the wrong guy.
00:48:48.559 --> 00:48:50.559
She's like, You were always the wrong guy.
00:48:51.519 --> 00:48:56.480
And it was weird because it came up for me the same day that I watched this movie.
00:48:56.719 --> 00:49:01.760
I saw an old quote from Tom Hiddleston who played Loki.
00:49:02.239 --> 00:49:07.280
Um, and the the quote, and I'm sure he's riffing on somebody, he's an actor, so I'm sure he's riffing on somebody else.
00:49:07.440 --> 00:49:12.400
But um Hiddleston says, You always live two lives.
00:49:13.599 --> 00:49:17.679
The second life begins the moment you realize you only have one.
00:49:19.119 --> 00:49:19.760
Oof.
00:49:20.239 --> 00:49:21.039
That is good.
00:49:21.280 --> 00:49:21.679
I know.
00:49:21.920 --> 00:49:22.800
I love that line.
00:49:22.960 --> 00:49:23.280
I know.
00:49:23.440 --> 00:49:25.119
I want to know who where that started now.
00:49:25.280 --> 00:49:25.840
Yeah, I don't know.
00:49:25.920 --> 00:49:26.320
I don't know.
00:49:26.400 --> 00:49:33.840
And again, like like because this will end up on the internet, I am reading the second order from a guy who's an actor who read it from somebody else.
00:49:34.000 --> 00:49:34.239
Yeah.
00:49:34.480 --> 00:49:37.039
But um, yeah, you always live two lives.
00:49:37.199 --> 00:49:40.159
The second life begins when you realize you only have one.
00:49:40.480 --> 00:49:40.719
Man.
00:49:42.800 --> 00:49:45.519
And so she says, You were always the wrong guy.
00:49:45.920 --> 00:49:46.880
You always show up.
00:49:47.280 --> 00:49:55.280
And sure enough, at that point he's like, for a thousand reasons, he and and it's coming up next.
00:49:56.320 --> 00:50:06.079
Um I mean, Logan, you know, whenever he's when he's telling this story to her, and she's like he's like, I killed him.
00:50:07.119 --> 00:50:08.639
Not only the bad ones.
00:50:08.880 --> 00:50:09.360
Right.
00:50:09.840 --> 00:50:16.400
You you have to reconcile that this character in yellow right now is a serial killer.
00:50:16.639 --> 00:50:16.960
Right.
00:50:17.280 --> 00:50:22.480
He's he's murdered people that did deserve it, and then a bunch that didn't.
00:50:23.039 --> 00:50:28.320
And he's sitting in that just that that anguish.
00:50:28.880 --> 00:50:35.519
And also, the rest of the world, his world, knows there ain't shit they can do about it.
00:50:35.679 --> 00:50:35.920
Yeah.
00:50:36.079 --> 00:50:40.719
Which is why you meet him in a bar and the bartender's like, We told you you're not welcome here.
00:50:40.800 --> 00:50:42.400
And he's like, Give me one more and I'll leave.
00:50:42.639 --> 00:50:50.960
It's just like they just have to like be be passive, aggressive to him because they know he's a fucking serial killer who's invincible.
00:50:51.199 --> 00:50:51.679
Right.
00:50:51.920 --> 00:50:55.519
And so he's sitting in the space like, I'm the wrong guy, Laura.
00:50:55.599 --> 00:50:57.199
And Laura's like, mm-hmm.
00:50:57.440 --> 00:50:58.559
Yeah, we know.
00:50:58.960 --> 00:51:06.400
Interesting kind, yeah, interesting decision they made too to save where she says you you were always the wrong guy as she walks off.
00:51:06.639 --> 00:51:09.440
And we know the whole phrase is until you weren't.
00:51:09.599 --> 00:51:15.440
But they save that until the end, yeah, which is uh just an odd, yeah, odd decision, I thought.
00:51:15.679 --> 00:51:27.119
Yeah, but um, yeah, so all of that, that sense of um the the in my own personal spiritual journey, there was a book by a Catholic priest called Falling Upward, and it was super useful.
00:51:27.280 --> 00:51:37.519
Um, there's a secular version of that book, uh written by somebody written by David Brooks, who's a who's uh um atheistic, um culturally Jewish, but he's um New York Times author.
00:51:37.840 --> 00:51:38.880
Never read it, but I've seen it.
00:51:39.119 --> 00:51:48.480
But both books kind of say the same story, which is um so David Brooks's book is called The Second Mountain, and then um Richard Rohr's book is called Falling Apart.
00:51:48.639 --> 00:51:53.199
Both of them talk about a first half of life and a second half of life that are not chronological.
00:51:53.440 --> 00:52:02.719
But they say, hey, the first half of life is all about building the containers and structures of life, and the second one is all about exploring the world inside and outside the containers.
00:52:02.880 --> 00:52:03.360
Yeah.
00:52:03.519 --> 00:52:09.840
Uh it's all time the real maturity comes when you finally realize that life is worth living rather than building.
00:52:10.400 --> 00:52:22.159
And uh, and you see this here too, where you know, whether it's the Hiddleston quote or it's the X23 looking at him going like, Yeah, yeah, the Logan I knew also wasn't the right guy.
00:52:22.400 --> 00:52:25.599
You get to decide tomorrow whether or not you're gonna be the right guy.
00:52:25.760 --> 00:52:26.159
Yeah.
00:52:26.320 --> 00:52:37.679
And that that was such a such a good moment to sit back and look at somebody who is capable of so much violence, to then decide whether or not he was gonna functionally be a hero, at least for this moment.
00:52:37.920 --> 00:52:38.239
Yeah.
00:52:38.320 --> 00:52:38.639
Yeah.
00:52:38.800 --> 00:52:44.880
And the line that really makes that my last gutter moment is the line where he says, I just want to be the man Charles thought I was.
00:52:46.159 --> 00:52:46.960
So heavy.
00:52:47.199 --> 00:52:48.320
I knew your brother.
00:52:48.880 --> 00:52:50.480
He would not want me to let you die.
00:52:51.039 --> 00:52:52.159
He would not let you die.
00:52:52.320 --> 00:52:53.119
Yeah, yeah.
00:52:53.440 --> 00:52:53.760
It was crazy.
00:52:54.639 --> 00:53:02.000
And I didn't say this in any of my notes, and this is uh travesty, but the I can't remember her name who plays Cassandra Nova.
00:53:02.239 --> 00:53:03.039
Fucking good.
00:53:03.280 --> 00:53:03.760
So
good.
00:53:03.920 --> 00:53:04.639
Like so good.
00:53:04.800 --> 00:53:05.039
Yes.
00:53:05.199 --> 00:53:11.360
I forgot every time I see this movie, I'm always I'm always reminded of how good she can be as a villain.
00:53:11.440 --> 00:53:20.800
Like she plays such a good character in this and plays such a tragic character as who she is, because she's just she's bad to the core, right?
00:53:20.960 --> 00:53:23.280
Like you're even shocked that she let them go.
00:53:23.440 --> 00:53:25.679
She's only doing it to pay off a debt, essentially.
00:53:25.760 --> 00:53:27.760
You didn't kill me, so therefore I'll let you go.
00:53:27.920 --> 00:53:33.119
But it means nothing to her, and she gives no shits about them later when she also leaves the void.
00:53:33.360 --> 00:53:37.840
And so I think that it's an interesting, she's such an interesting character, and I think what's her name?
00:53:37.920 --> 00:53:38.559
You looked it up.
00:53:38.719 --> 00:53:39.679
It's Emma Corin.
00:53:39.920 --> 00:53:40.800
Emma Corin, that's right.
00:53:40.960 --> 00:53:43.360
And Emma Corns, I've seen her in other things, she's great.
00:53:43.440 --> 00:53:51.760
Um, she's a I think she's a great actor, but in this particular you really get to see a lot more range from her, I feel like, because it's such a a caricature of a villain.
00:53:51.840 --> 00:53:54.559
Like it's it's so it's over the top in all the right ways.
00:53:54.639 --> 00:53:58.960
And she's I mean, the way that she does the hands in the in the head, I mean it's creepy, it's it's awful.
00:53:59.119 --> 00:54:07.119
And when the when he when she breaks Pyro's neck and it reminds me, I'm immediately taken back to when Xavier dies in Multiverse of Madness, it feels very violent.
00:54:07.519 --> 00:54:11.679
Uh and it in all in a way that you're always like, Oh, Marvel will get violent if they want to.
00:54:11.840 --> 00:54:12.960
Like they'll be gruesome.
00:54:13.039 --> 00:54:19.599
And I mean, obviously with Johnny Storm, but anyway, I just a la little add addition there to my la that's my last gutter moment.
00:54:19.840 --> 00:54:20.159
Yeah, sure.
00:54:20.239 --> 00:54:24.159
Cor and Corin's character, I mean, is is a great example.
00:54:24.320 --> 00:54:32.400
This isn't in my notes, but just in terms of gutter moments, um, she's a great example of what trauma can do, right?
00:54:32.480 --> 00:54:44.320
Like you even the the the gutter that we we don't actually hear explicitly said is um, you know, he's like, if Charles knew you were here, he would have scorched the earth to come find you.
00:54:44.480 --> 00:54:58.079
So the idea is that um Nova was sent to the void early and has been there a long time, and now you have trauma and rejection that has led this superpowered villain to become this really sociopathic character.
00:54:58.320 --> 00:55:00.559
Yeah, um choose to stay in the void.
00:55:00.800 --> 00:55:01.679
Yeah, yeah, that's right.
00:55:01.840 --> 00:55:06.800
Could
have come out, but instead built their own little built their own little kingdom there.
00:55:07.119 --> 00:55:17.840
Um yeah, and and to to have that opportunity, that my last gutter moment is when Nova goes into um Logan's brain.
00:55:18.079 --> 00:55:18.320
Yeah.
00:55:18.639 --> 00:55:21.599
And you see the the tombstones.
00:55:21.840 --> 00:55:23.440
Yeah, that was that was part of my last gutter.
00:55:23.599 --> 00:55:25.920
I just didn't say it, but yeah, that that whole scene is amazing.
00:55:26.159 --> 00:55:27.679
And there's Lucifer's temptation.
00:55:28.559 --> 00:55:31.119
The temptation is worship me.
00:55:31.599 --> 00:55:32.800
Like, do what I say.
00:55:33.199 --> 00:55:36.079
Listen to me as the higher power.
00:55:36.400 --> 00:55:54.960
And that all leads me to my last gutter moment, which is um so when Cassandra Nova goes into Logan's brain, yeah, and um you get to see him walking amongst the tombstones, knowing the pain, and even the the sh you know, she says that she's gonna quiet the noise.
00:55:55.519 --> 00:56:02.559
You know, you worship me and do do what I say, be on my team here, and I can I can set this all right.
00:56:02.639 --> 00:56:10.000
I can set you I can make and quiet all of these voices you hear, um, you know, and she's even says like, I got you.
00:56:10.079 --> 00:56:10.480
I got you.
00:56:10.800 --> 00:56:11.440
Yeah, I got you.
00:56:11.519 --> 00:56:15.360
And it's such a in a way that you know she's lying.
00:56:15.679 --> 00:56:17.519
But it's so seductive.
00:56:17.840 --> 00:56:18.960
It is, it's very seductive.
00:56:19.039 --> 00:56:21.119
She does a really good job of sounding like she means it.
00:56:21.360 --> 00:56:24.800
And it's like, but you know, because of how she is, she's literally a psychopath.
00:56:24.960 --> 00:56:25.840
Like she does not mean it.
00:56:26.320 --> 00:56:38.239
It's especially for a character that I and I think a lot of this is my own projection because of you know, as an enneagram for my my core besetting pain is gonna be a sense of not feeling like I belong.
00:56:38.400 --> 00:56:38.559
Yeah.
00:56:38.719 --> 00:56:43.519
So anytime there's somebody who looks lonely or looks like they don't belong, I'm gonna connect to that.
00:56:43.679 --> 00:56:45.440
And Logan certainly is that.
00:56:45.679 --> 00:56:46.159
Yeah.
00:56:46.400 --> 00:56:54.960
So I mean, to to speak directly to my own sense of core wounding, watching her say, I could I can quiet all these voices and you can just be with me.
00:56:55.199 --> 00:56:57.760
And then she does for a moment, and you see him like the relief on his face.
00:56:58.239 --> 00:57:00.559
Oh man, I mean, it's it's good, it's a heavy scene.
00:57:00.719 --> 00:57:08.400
I I and even watching it again, I had forgotten this scene, and so I did not remember the turn where she's like, I got you.
00:57:08.639 --> 00:57:10.480
And he's like, Nope, I got you.
00:57:10.719 --> 00:57:10.960
Yeah.
00:57:11.199 --> 00:57:13.440
And the helm and the juggernaut's helmet comes onto her.
00:57:13.679 --> 00:57:14.800
Oh man, it's so good.
00:57:15.039 --> 00:57:16.880
It's really, really well done.
00:57:17.039 --> 00:57:29.679
It's a it's a good moment to sit back and think about the role of the seductive easy fix, the something that makes that quiets the voices that are that are tormenting you.
00:57:29.840 --> 00:57:34.400
Um, and then also what's the you know, who's the actual one in power here?
00:57:34.639 --> 00:57:35.679
She needs him.
00:57:36.400 --> 00:57:41.360
And so that means he's actually the one with more power than her, even though she's arguably more powered up.
00:57:41.679 --> 00:57:42.000
Right.
00:57:42.159 --> 00:57:42.559
Yeah.
00:57:42.800 --> 00:57:43.599
That's what I got.
00:57:43.840 --> 00:57:44.159
All right.
00:57:44.239 --> 00:57:45.760
Well, let's move on to the legacy.
00:57:45.920 --> 00:57:49.199
Uh, a few points that this movie definitely will uh last a while.
00:57:49.440 --> 00:57:54.400
So is that it it was the highest grossing R-rated film in cinema, as we said earlier until last week.
00:57:54.960 --> 00:58:09.199
And is the first film to formally integrate the Fox uh Marvel universe into the MCU canon, which is great, confirming the X-Men, Fantastic Four, Blade, Electra all existed in uh alternate timelines that now matter to the larger story.
00:58:09.360 --> 00:58:17.360
Um it confirmed that uh X-23 or Lara, played by Daphne Keen, as an active MCU presence ahead of Doomsday, which is interesting.
00:58:17.519 --> 00:58:18.880
Would love to see her come back up.
00:58:19.519 --> 00:58:27.039
When she goes the old spent, I was like, oh sh side note, that her accent was good in this movie.
00:58:27.440 --> 00:58:34.079
Because if you watch Logan, like when she was younger, she was very Spanish and very much like could not speak English.
00:58:34.320 --> 00:58:40.000
Like in real life, her English accent was r I mean she just had a really thick accent, her English was still broken up a lot.
00:58:40.239 --> 00:58:46.559
So it was it was interesting to see just like she really has grown up, she really has grown up in America, like that she had a very, very good American accent.
00:58:46.800 --> 00:58:47.039
Yeah.
00:58:47.119 --> 00:58:53.679
Um but uh yeah, established obviously Cassandra Nova is a significant threat.
00:58:53.760 --> 00:58:59.360
Um and us uh who survived uh into Wade's timeline uh well until the end.
00:58:59.599 --> 00:59:06.400
But uh I do love that they finally acknowledge that scene because that's such an old comic book uh or not scene but storyline.
00:59:06.719 --> 00:59:15.039
Uh it's such an old comic book storyline that everybody's like, man, why don't we ever talk about Charles's family or illegitimate children or like you know, all these things, which Legion does.
00:59:15.119 --> 00:59:17.199
If anybody hasn't seen Legion, I highly recommend it.
00:59:17.280 --> 00:59:19.440
It's an acid
trip from beginning to end, but it's amazing.
00:59:19.840 --> 00:59:20.960
It's it's truly good.
00:59:21.119 --> 00:59:22.960
It lulls a little, but it's great.
00:59:23.280 --> 00:59:28.880
Um Juggernaut, Cassandra Nova, these are all um siblings.
00:59:29.199 --> 00:59:29.440
Right.
00:59:29.599 --> 00:59:30.559
Yeah, exactly.
00:59:30.880 --> 00:59:35.679
Um the multiverse logic deployed here is the same logic I think that Doomsday will use.
00:59:35.760 --> 00:59:40.800
So it is, I think, a direct call out to uh it's we're getting close to Doomsday.
00:59:40.880 --> 00:59:42.719
Like it's it feels that way as we're re-watching it.
00:59:43.599 --> 00:59:46.719
It's trying to preserve or remove a timeline.
00:59:46.880 --> 00:59:47.199
Yeah.
00:59:47.360 --> 00:59:51.280
Particularly in a world where we no longer prune timelines away from sacred.
00:59:51.440 --> 00:59:51.679
Right.
00:59:51.920 --> 00:59:54.559
We we now try to hold these timelines in tension.
00:59:54.639 --> 00:59:56.559
That's what Loki God of Stories is doing.
00:59:56.800 --> 00:59:59.840
Yeah, that that logic is moving forward here.
01:00:00.320 --> 01:00:03.519
Um, that is gonna is certainly gonna come up in doomsday.
01:00:03.599 --> 01:00:03.679
Right.
01:00:03.920 --> 01:00:04.159
That's right.
01:00:04.239 --> 01:00:04.559
Yeah.
01:00:04.880 --> 01:00:05.119
All right.
01:00:05.280 --> 01:00:06.559
Let's move on to the stinger.
01:00:06.719 --> 01:00:14.000
So in the credits, we didn't really get a mid-credits scene as much as we got a mid-credits uh montage of pictures or uh what's that is that a word?
01:00:14.159 --> 01:00:14.719
Yeah, credit.
01:00:14.960 --> 01:00:15.440
Montage, yeah.
01:00:15.519 --> 01:00:17.599
Yeah, it was videos, it was pictures and videos.
01:00:17.679 --> 01:00:19.360
Um set to the time of your life.
01:00:19.599 --> 01:00:20.960
Something unpredictable.
01:00:21.360 --> 01:00:21.760
It was amazing.
01:00:22.320 --> 01:00:22.800
That's right.
01:00:24.559 --> 01:00:27.840
And it was uh I loved the X-Men pictures or videos.
01:00:27.920 --> 01:00:39.920
I always get emotional watching them, and then a little bit of the Fantastic Four and there, less less of a shit given for them, but I'm still happy to see it and see young Chris Evans playing in like the what his first Marvel role, not knowing he's gonna.
01:00:40.320 --> 01:00:43.519
Did you do you know that um that's where I got my son's name?
01:00:44.800 --> 01:00:45.519
Did I tell you this?
01:00:45.760 --> 01:00:48.000
So uh Ewan is my son's name.
01:00:48.079 --> 01:00:53.280
It's spelled I-O-A-N, and the first time I ever saw it was Ewan Griffad, who plays Mr.
01:00:53.360 --> 01:00:53.840
Fantastic.
01:00:54.159 --> 01:00:57.039
Oh yeah, so that's uh that's how you spell his name, I-O-A-N.
01:00:57.679 --> 01:01:01.280
I went back and did some research, and it again laced with meaning, so it matters.
01:01:01.760 --> 01:01:02.800
But uh but that's where we found it.
01:01:02.880 --> 01:01:04.079
Wow, that's that is interesting.
01:01:04.320 --> 01:01:05.039
Yeah, that's right.
01:01:05.119 --> 01:01:05.360
Uh-huh.
01:01:05.599 --> 01:01:14.800
Um, but yeah, it's a great scene, and of course, at the end we get the aftercredit scene, which is we get to see that Johnny Storm actually said all of the shit that he said, and it was amazing.
01:01:14.960 --> 01:01:19.679
And I love and and the way Wade's like, uh-huh, and looking over the camera, tell me more.
01:01:19.760 --> 01:01:24.239
You know, it's so you can quote me on that, and he goes, I heard, I will.
01:01:24.639 --> 01:01:24.960
Yeah.
01:01:25.199 --> 01:01:36.559
So um, so my my understanding, and I search this up, but um Evans said, I'll do this movie if I can do that scene.
01:01:36.719 --> 01:01:36.880
Yeah.
01:01:37.039 --> 01:01:38.639
And it was like, I'm right.
01:01:38.960 --> 01:01:40.639
I want to be R-rated all the way.
01:01:40.800 --> 01:01:41.119
Yep.
01:01:41.280 --> 01:01:44.559
And I mean, just the way that he talks about her.
01:01:44.880 --> 01:01:45.440
It's amazing.
01:01:45.840 --> 01:01:48.719
It's such a crazy and to to memorize that.
01:01:50.079 --> 01:01:51.360
I assume it's written dialogue.
01:01:51.440 --> 01:01:51.599
Sure.
01:01:51.920 --> 01:01:53.280
It was uh it was a lot.
01:01:53.360 --> 01:01:54.239
I don't know how they do that.
01:01:54.400 --> 01:01:59.519
Because at Ryan Reynolds, I could see him ad-living all day long, and it's always going to be gold for the most part.
01:01:59.760 --> 01:02:01.760
But to be able to do that for another character, it would have been.
01:02:02.000 --> 01:02:03.679
I love that he wanted to set the record straight.
01:02:04.400 --> 01:02:06.079
People keep thinking I killed him.
01:02:06.400 --> 01:02:07.440
He killed himself.
01:02:07.760 --> 01:02:09.360
He told me to quote him, and I did.
01:02:09.440 --> 01:02:10.559
I just did what he told me to do.
01:02:10.800 --> 01:02:11.199
Gotcha.
01:02:11.599 --> 01:02:12.079
That's right.
01:02:12.559 --> 01:02:13.119
So good.
01:02:13.360 --> 01:02:13.840
So good.
01:02:14.159 --> 01:02:14.400
All right.
01:02:14.480 --> 01:02:27.679
Well, our stinger is that the next movie we're talking about Captain America Brave New World, uh, Sam Wilson's first solo outing as Captain America, and we get Harrison Ford as Thaddeus Ross or slash Red Hulk.
01:02:27.840 --> 01:02:31.119
And the beginning of the final stretch to December 18th.
01:02:31.360 --> 01:02:35.679
And uh here's another movie I am not fucking excited to watch.
01:02:35.840 --> 01:02:36.400
Yeah.
01:02:36.639 --> 01:02:41.840
I uh I love the interview with Harrison Ford where uh he's a he's a funny guy.
01:02:41.920 --> 01:02:43.760
He's got he's got surprisingly funny.
01:02:43.840 --> 01:02:45.599
Yeah, the show just shrinking has proved that.
01:02:45.760 --> 01:02:46.639
He's incredible on that.
01:02:46.880 --> 01:02:56.960
He he is a funny guy, and I I can't remember
which one of the late night hosts it was that was interviewing him, but he was like, Do you ever feel weird like walking around?
01:02:58.000 --> 01:03:00.639
And he's like, That's what the money's for.
01:03:00.880 --> 01:03:02.000
Yeah, it's so good.
01:03:02.159 --> 01:03:04.400
He was like, they pay me to do that, yeah.
01:03:04.960 --> 01:03:06.480
Like it's it's fine.
01:03:06.719 --> 01:03:11.119
The best like LG sell out line million means, but it's like it's a lot.
01:03:11.360 --> 01:03:12.639
Yeah, it's it's pretty great.
01:03:12.960 --> 01:03:15.679
Yeah, it's like I don't give any fucks taking that check to the bank.
01:03:15.840 --> 01:03:16.719
I'm so grown.
01:03:16.800 --> 01:03:18.480
Yeah, I'm I'm an old man.
01:03:18.719 --> 01:03:19.599
I do what I want.
01:03:19.760 --> 01:03:19.920
Right.
01:03:20.079 --> 01:03:21.760
And and they pay me a lot to do it.
01:03:21.920 --> 01:03:22.559
Yeah, that's right.
01:03:22.800 --> 01:03:24.719
It's like speaking of old men, man.
01:03:24.960 --> 01:03:30.159
Ian McEllen coming back in his 80s to be both Magneto and uh Gandalf in the same year.
01:03:30.800 --> 01:03:31.280
It's crazy.
01:03:31.519 --> 01:03:32.079
It's wild.
01:03:32.880 --> 01:03:33.440
Wild.
01:03:33.679 --> 01:03:34.239
Um, all right.
01:03:34.320 --> 01:03:35.679

01:03:35.760 --> 01:03:40.400

And uh and and we're also there if that means anything.
01:03:58.320 --> 01:04:03.760

01:04:04.000 --> 01:04:09.199
Take a take a minute and uh give us a review, and a five-star review goes a long way for us and helps us out a lot.
