00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:24.760
Yeah, what's up, everybody?
2
00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:27.239
Welcome to a new episode of The Truth. I am
3
00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:30.519
John Rokie or the John Roky Genna. Thanks so much for.
4
00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:32.439
Taking time out of your day to come hang out with.
5
00:00:32.359 --> 00:00:35.560
Me here this evening. Just the camera, you know, I'm
6
00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:38.920
just gonna push it back sometimes that's all it takes here. Yeah,
7
00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:41.439
but I'm here to have some fun tonight hanging out
8
00:00:41.479 --> 00:00:42.719
with you all. I don't know how long.
9
00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:45.079
I'm gonna go depends on what we've got going on
10
00:00:45.159 --> 00:00:48.079
here today, and then we go what what we got
11
00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:50.640
in terms of the stories, and then what you guys
12
00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:53.679
want to talk about in terms of your questions, thoughts
13
00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:55.679
and comments you can send in on your stream labs
14
00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:58.439
and super chats. So much to get into today that
15
00:00:58.439 --> 00:01:00.719
we're going to talk about here tonight either should I say?
16
00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:04.359
Because it is five PMPT my time for those of
17
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:06.400
you are tuning in thinking like, wait, wait, where's the
18
00:01:06.439 --> 00:01:06.760
hot mic?
19
00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:07.519
Where's the hot mike?
20
00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:09.879
Clearly you don't follow me on social media, and I
21
00:01:09.879 --> 00:01:12.439
know I forgot to post this in the community tab
22
00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:15.439
on my channel, but Jeff and I could not do
23
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:20.079
the show tonight because of scheduling and issues and what
24
00:01:20.120 --> 00:01:23.159
have you. So We're doing it tomorrow, four PMPT the
25
00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:25.719
Hot Mic. But I was feeling froggy today, as I
26
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:28.400
tweeted out earlier, I was kind of antsy. I hadn't
27
00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:30.280
done a show in a day or two, and I'm
28
00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:32.799
usually kind of antsy when I don't do anything on
29
00:01:32.879 --> 00:01:34.480
the channel for a day or two. So I thought
30
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:36.719
I'd come on and have some fun tonight, go and
31
00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:39.159
live talk about a bunch of stuff that's happening, and.
32
00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:40.400
Taking my time through stuff.
33
00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:42.560
You know, sometimes with the Hot Mic, I can't or
34
00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:44.959
with geek Buddies, I can't spend the extra time I
35
00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:48.920
like to spend on a subject or on a topic.
36
00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:52.239
And this is what is great about The Truth or
37
00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:54.000
any of my other shows that I host solo. I
38
00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:56.079
get to take a little bit of time with the
39
00:01:56.159 --> 00:01:58.079
topic and go through it here from you all. What
40
00:01:58.120 --> 00:01:59.640
do you think about the topic? What do you think
41
00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:00.920
about the.
42
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:04.239
The nuances, the tangents, the connective the connected stories to
43
00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:05.680
the topic, to the main topic.
44
00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:06.840
All those kinds of things.
45
00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:09.840
So I appreciate being able to do that because some
46
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:11.280
of you know I like to talk a lot and
47
00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:13.879
a little long winded, but I also like to explore
48
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:17.400
things to the nook and crany to the minutia, so
49
00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:20.120
that we all understand what the hell is going on
50
00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:21.960
one way or another with these things. And so I
51
00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:24.719
appreciate you all being willing to be a part of all.
52
00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:27.520
The studio display microphone, damn it, it doesn't change off.
53
00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:29.879
There we go, There we go. All right, there we go.
54
00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:32.000
The mic is not broken. The mic is not broken.
55
00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:35.599
It's just that it's the studio display mic. Sometimes I
56
00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:38.240
swear to God, it's so hilarious to me. There it is, there,
57
00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:41.159
it is so yeah. I don't know. I set it
58
00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:43.240
for the computer to do it, but stream Yard has
59
00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:45.120
a mind of its own. But I'm telling you, I'm
60
00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:47.800
almost done with Streamyard. I'm like this close to done
61
00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:50.560
with Streamyard. I don't know what their issues are, but
62
00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:53.840
they don't read the program off my main computer to
63
00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:56.159
set everything correctly all the time, and so I have
64
00:02:56.240 --> 00:02:58.719
situations like this where I start on the wrong mic.
65
00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:01.439
I've selected the right mind off of the main settings
66
00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:04.080
of the computer, but the program that is stream Yard
67
00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:06.719
does not read that. I have to reset everything, which
68
00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:10.479
is supremely frustrating. So hopefully I will at some point
69
00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:13.159
master the use of obs and I won't have to
70
00:03:13.199 --> 00:03:16.879
worry about that anymore. But I also discovered something called
71
00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:21.360
what's a prism, and apparently prism can simulate OBS so
72
00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:24.039
without needing to do all the complicated shit that you
73
00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:26.479
have to do with OBS. So at some point, once
74
00:03:26.520 --> 00:03:28.080
I figured that out, I'm going to put that in
75
00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:30.919
motion and we'll see where we go from there on
76
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:33.400
the channel. But yeah, thank you guys so much. I
77
00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:35.960
appreciate you madly. Thank you to the over one hundred
78
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:37.680
of you joining me live right off the bat. We'll
79
00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:40.520
see how many people join us as we go along here.
80
00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:42.759
And as I said, the stream labs and super chats
81
00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:45.759
are open. I don't know if I pined that in
82
00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:47.560
the chat. I hope I did. Yes, it did, so
83
00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:49.599
if you want to send in your love, questions, thoughts,
84
00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:51.280
and comments, feel free to do through. Thank you to
85
00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:54.159
fred Tastic, who's already sent in three stream labs, which
86
00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:56.560
I will get to in a little bit. But tonight
87
00:03:56.639 --> 00:03:59.080
we got so much to get into, so sit back, relax.
88
00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:01.560
Thanks for hanging out with me. I hope you guys
89
00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:04.120
are doing well. I had a pretty busy day today
90
00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:07.240
in terms of things that I was finishing off and
91
00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:10.280
doing it. This morning, I went to my eye doctor.
92
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:11.639
For those of you remember about a year and a
93
00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:15.039
half ago, I had that surgery that I had. I
94
00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:18.079
replaced a lens. They took the cataracts out of my
95
00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:20.720
left eye and they put a lens inside my left
96
00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:24.000
eye so that I could see better close up. And
97
00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:27.720
then I still have glasses for long distance which I wear.
98
00:04:27.800 --> 00:04:30.199
These are the glasses that I wear for a long distance.
99
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:33.040
I have them always available to me and kiss. I
100
00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:36.319
want to watch TV from where I'm sitting here at
101
00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:39.439
my office because my TV is right over there. But
102
00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:44.079
some of you have asked and sent me dms, They're like, wait, roka,
103
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:46.560
do you have lenses in the glasses that you're wearing
104
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:49.600
well with the ray bands that I wear these ray
105
00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:51.680
bands here, which are my old sets of glasses from
106
00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:53.680
weight from a couple of years ago. I do not
107
00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:56.160
have lenses. I do not have lenses. I don't wear
108
00:04:56.199 --> 00:04:59.079
lenses in these. But I like to wear the frame
109
00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:02.439
because the frame focus is my eyes. So when I'm
110
00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:05.360
hosting shows and I'm like this, all this stuff gets
111
00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:08.120
in the way right, But with my frames, I'm able
112
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:10.480
to keep it focused right. And I like the look
113
00:05:10.519 --> 00:05:14.120
of myself with the glasses, but I appreciate no lenses
114
00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:17.279
because there's no glare and I don't need the lenses because,
115
00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:20.480
as I said, the surgery fixed my short my near vision,
116
00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:23.199
so I don't really need glasses when I'm looking at
117
00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:25.959
a phone, looking at a computer, or anything like that.
118
00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:28.800
So that's been the gift of that surgery. But it
119
00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:32.160
means I rarely have to use my regular glasses here
120
00:05:32.279 --> 00:05:37.879
on camera because it actually makes things more blurring. So
121
00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:41.800
we'll see. And I had a new examination today and
122
00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:43.560
they told me that my left eye is even better
123
00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:46.480
than it was six months ago. So that means the
124
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:49.439
surgery is really working and my eye is adapting, my
125
00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:51.480
visions getting better. So I'll have to get a new
126
00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:54.040
prescription in a new set of glasses. So maybe that'll
127
00:05:54.040 --> 00:05:56.519
be where we go from there. By a couple of
128
00:05:56.560 --> 00:05:58.720
frames within the you know, I'll put glasses in those
129
00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:00.439
then and we'll go see what goes. But you know,
130
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:04.000
that's a pretty betty and I gotta figure things out
131
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:06.360
financially if I want to go and get two new
132
00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:08.560
pairs of glasses, for sure. But yes, this is what
133
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:11.439
I have going on tonight, This is what was going
134
00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:14.040
on today, and I'll tell you this. I finished a
135
00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:17.399
fantastic Netflix show that I've been meaning to watch for
136
00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:20.480
quite some time. I started this last night and I
137
00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:24.680
finished the last two episodes this afternoon, and that is
138
00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:27.800
Death by Lightning. For those who don't know that show,
139
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:31.000
it is a damn good show that is on Netflix.
140
00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:34.279
I highly recommend it, especially for you history buffs. I'm
141
00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:37.199
gonna bring this up real quick because it is about
142
00:06:37.240 --> 00:06:40.480
the death of James Garfield, the assassination of President Garfield.
143
00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:43.800
It is actually a damn good show. Let me see,
144
00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:46.120
there you go. That's that's what you it is. So
145
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:49.160
I'm so surprised at how much I enjoyed this show.
146
00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:52.800
It's Michael Shannon as President James Garfield. Here, let me
147
00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:55.600
where's the one I like to do? Is this the
148
00:06:55.639 --> 00:07:02.879
one I like to do? No? No, no, no, Here
149
00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:05.839
we go? That one? That one, that one. So this
150
00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:09.279
is Michael Shannon as President James Garfield, who was assassinated
151
00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:12.959
a little over one hundred days in office. Matthew McFadden,
152
00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:16.199
who some of you know from Succession, he plays the assassin.
153
00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:19.879
It's a four episode mini series. It was the writer
154
00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:24.279
of it was nominated for an Emmy. I think Nick Offerman,
155
00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:27.920
who plays the next President Chester A Arthur, who is
156
00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:31.879
Garfield's vice president. He is in the show as well.
157
00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:35.920
And the great Shay Wigham plays this New York senator
158
00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:38.759
who was a thorn in the side of Garfield. And
159
00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:40.480
then you have Bradley Whitford, who of course is no
160
00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:42.839
stranger to politics. I've been being been in the West Wing.
161
00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:45.480
Betty Gilpin for those of you fans of Glow or
162
00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:49.399
The Hunt. She plays Garfield's wife. And is there anyone
163
00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:52.920
else that's a big note in the cast. There's an
164
00:07:52.959 --> 00:07:55.800
Irish actress who is in the show I watch on
165
00:07:55.839 --> 00:08:01.160
PBS called Ridley. She's in for small parts and geez,
166
00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:03.680
I'm trying to remember if there's anyone else of note
167
00:08:04.639 --> 00:08:06.519
in the cast, but no, I mean, it's a very
168
00:08:06.519 --> 00:08:09.399
strong cast and it's a four episode series. And I'm
169
00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:12.160
telling you, if you're a history buff, if you're into
170
00:08:12.279 --> 00:08:16.120
really good acting, really well written scripts, I highly recommend it.
171
00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:18.279
It's produced by bennyoffen Weiss, the guys that did the
172
00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:20.839
House of the Dragon, but it's written by the guy
173
00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:23.480
who wrote Bad Education, which was the Hugh Jackman movie
174
00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:26.279
with Allison Jenny from a couple of years ago or
175
00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:28.519
a few years ago, I guess now. And I was
176
00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:31.000
really surprised at how much I enjoyed the series. Do
177
00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:32.679
I have a couple of complaints because it was only
178
00:08:32.720 --> 00:08:36.000
four episodes in terms of the build up to certain things, Yes,
179
00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:39.759
But overall I think it's a fantastic show that kind
180
00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:42.320
of speaks to what's going on in our politics now.
181
00:08:42.639 --> 00:08:46.720
This idea of corruption, this idea of a machine where
182
00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:50.360
people get rewarded because they are buddy buddy with the
183
00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:53.879
person who is in charge, versus what James Garfield was
184
00:08:53.919 --> 00:08:55.519
trying to do, which has come in and kind of
185
00:08:55.559 --> 00:08:59.759
break that whole system and bring and give the power
186
00:08:59.799 --> 00:09:02.759
back to the people. He held he actually had like
187
00:09:02.919 --> 00:09:06.639
meetings with citizens. American citizens could show up to the
188
00:09:06.639 --> 00:09:09.639
White House at a certain time and you could get
189
00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:12.360
an audience with President Garfield, like you would sit down
190
00:09:12.399 --> 00:09:15.039
with you and have a conversation with you for five minutes.
191
00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:18.320
So I'm in can you even imagine that happening now
192
00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:21.559
in the last I don't know, sixty years with any president,
193
00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:24.440
one hundred years, I guess, with any president sitting down
194
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:28.240
and maybe because he was assassinated that is a reason
195
00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:30.519
why presidents still do it. But anyway, if you guys
196
00:09:30.559 --> 00:09:33.519
haven't seen this, I highly highly recommend it. You guys
197
00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:36.159
should definitely see this all right. Another thing I recommend,
198
00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:38.639
which is out in theaters now, if you haven't seen
199
00:09:38.759 --> 00:09:43.240
Tony the new biograph, The new biopic on Anthony board Day.
200
00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:46.440
It is absolutely excellent. I really enjoyed it. It's one
201
00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:49.360
of the best biopicks I've seen in a long time.
202
00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:51.360
You guys know, I wasn't the biggest fan of Michael
203
00:09:51.399 --> 00:09:53.799
in terms of the overall construction and the script and
204
00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:57.000
the way they told the story because they didn't show
205
00:09:57.039 --> 00:10:00.240
any warts on Michael. What I liked about this film
206
00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:03.360
is that they show you Anthony Bourdaine warts and all
207
00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:06.519
is a young guy. It's only a limited amount of
208
00:10:06.519 --> 00:10:08.440
time in his life when he goes to New England
209
00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:11.679
and he works for this this seafood restaurant because he's
210
00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:14.039
trying to be a writer. But they reject him at
211
00:10:14.039 --> 00:10:16.399
the places that he goes to, so he ends up
212
00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:19.080
falling into this job chasing a girl that's played by
213
00:10:19.080 --> 00:10:22.559
Amelia Jones, who of course is the lead actress in Coda.
214
00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:25.799
The Young Girl in Coda, which won Best Picture and
215
00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:29.879
it shows the journey he goes on with himself, and
216
00:10:29.960 --> 00:10:32.799
he drinks, he uses drugs, he gets in trouble, he
217
00:10:32.840 --> 00:10:38.320
gets he gets into violent altercations. And Antonio Vendennas plays
218
00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:42.639
the guy who runs the the Seafood, the Seafood restaurant,
219
00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:47.399
and he learns from him like the joy of cooking right.
220
00:10:47.559 --> 00:10:51.720
And although you see him discover all of that, they
221
00:10:51.759 --> 00:10:55.519
don't shy away from his instincts to get in trouble,
222
00:10:55.600 --> 00:10:58.879
his instincts to make mistakes, his instincts to do things
223
00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:03.879
that could mess him up. Even more, you see that
224
00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:06.799
he's got a very difficult family life, with a mom
225
00:11:06.840 --> 00:11:09.320
who's not the biggest fan of his, with a father
226
00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:13.440
who dotes on him. And we see the relationship between
227
00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:16.720
him and Emilia Jones progressed throughout the movie, which I
228
00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:20.039
think is really cool and realistic. If you remember being
229
00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:23.679
in your twenties and being cockstrong and thinking you could
230
00:11:23.679 --> 00:11:26.720
do everything, and meeting that one woman who like kind
231
00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:28.519
of put you in your place and woke you up
232
00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:30.639
to what's going on in the world, and I really
233
00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:33.720
enjoyed that. And Leo Woodhall is really good as well
234
00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:37.480
as this even more troublesome character in the movie and
235
00:11:37.519 --> 00:11:39.879
what they go through. So I highly recommend if you
236
00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:42.039
guys haven't seen, it's a very unusual bob pick because
237
00:11:42.039 --> 00:11:45.159
you don't leave that movie going yes, I'm gonna go
238
00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:48.320
be a chef. You leave that movie going wow. This
239
00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:49.799
is a guy who was full of a lot of
240
00:11:49.840 --> 00:11:53.600
flaws and still found his way to pursue the things
241
00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:56.159
that he wants to do with his life. And when
242
00:11:56.159 --> 00:11:58.919
the door closed for him to be a writer and
243
00:11:59.000 --> 00:12:01.639
the window opened for him to be a chef, he
244
00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:04.399
went through that window to become a chef and then
245
00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:07.080
found his way back to being a writer. For those
246
00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:10.399
you've read Kitchen Confidential, so it's a great story as
247
00:12:10.440 --> 00:12:12.360
well for those of you who are caught up in
248
00:12:12.399 --> 00:12:14.480
the fact that I tried to do one thing it
249
00:12:14.519 --> 00:12:17.559
didn't work out. What can I do with my life now?
250
00:12:17.919 --> 00:12:20.799
There are possibilities. I mean I had that with me, right,
251
00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:22.559
I mean, I wanted to be this actor and I was.
252
00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:25.399
I booked things, I made thousands of dollars, tens of
253
00:12:25.440 --> 00:12:28.320
thousands of dollars throughout the years, but I wasn't happy.
254
00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:31.279
I wasn't satisfied. So I felt asked backwards into this
255
00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:33.320
thanks to Christian Harloff, and here I am still doing
256
00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:36.080
it ten years later and enjoying it, and people like
257
00:12:36.120 --> 00:12:38.360
you are watching me right Almost two hundred people are
258
00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:40.279
hanging out with me live watching this right now. So
259
00:12:40.519 --> 00:12:43.080
it's like all these things that happen, you just never
260
00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:46.440
know what's going to happen for you. So anyway, let
261
00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:48.679
me take this down. This it's been up the whole time. Well,
262
00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:51.240
I've been talking about a difference, So I highly recommend
263
00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:53.360
those two things if you haven't watched him Tony and
264
00:12:53.559 --> 00:12:56.639
Death by Lightning, those are really good. I don't And
265
00:12:56.679 --> 00:12:58.879
then did we watch anything else last night? Did we
266
00:12:58.919 --> 00:13:01.840
finish up? And oh, we've been watching Worst Neighbor Ever
267
00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:04.720
on Netflix? Also something I highly recommend if you guys
268
00:13:04.720 --> 00:13:07.440
haven't watched that, that is a lot of fun as well.
269
00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:11.320
So there you go, all right, anything else that I've
270
00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:14.639
been watching? Anything else? I can recommend that. If you
271
00:13:14.679 --> 00:13:18.320
guys aren't watching Reacher, highly recommend Reacher. If you haven't
272
00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:20.320
watched the first episode of Lanterns, We're gonna get into
273
00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:23.559
some lantern stuff tonight as well. And is there anything
274
00:13:23.639 --> 00:13:27.879
else that I've been watching? Oh, the Seattle Seahawks Hard
275
00:13:27.960 --> 00:13:32.159
Knocks on HBO Max. That's been a fun watch. And
276
00:13:32.200 --> 00:13:34.240
I think that's everything for now. I might have more
277
00:13:34.279 --> 00:13:36.159
stuff by the end of the weekend. Maybe next time
278
00:13:36.200 --> 00:13:38.480
I go live, I'll have more recommendations for you all.
279
00:13:38.519 --> 00:13:41.320
But I'm trying to, you know, recommend more things and
280
00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:45.240
have you guys enjoy these things, so hopefully at some
281
00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:47.279
point some of you will get a chance of them.
282
00:13:47.399 --> 00:13:50.840
And no, I've not watched I've not watched that Jenny yet.
283
00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:53.960
I promise, ed, I promise, and I promise everybody watching.
284
00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:55.600
I will watch it this weekend. I will watch it
285
00:13:55.600 --> 00:13:58.600
this weekend. Maybe I can convince Vogel to do a
286
00:13:58.799 --> 00:14:01.200
review with me, even though it's like, you know, been
287
00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:03.679
out for over a week now. Maybe I'll convince it
288
00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:05.399
to do a review. If me, We'll see. And for
289
00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:09.559
those of you mentioning Lions, o Ldia Outlaw, she has
290
00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:11.919
a rule in our house that if a show drops,
291
00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:15.279
we have to wait three episodes or four episodes before
292
00:14:15.320 --> 00:14:17.720
we can start watching it because she doesn't like to
293
00:14:17.879 --> 00:14:20.360
just watch week to week. It's a really rare show
294
00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:23.399
that she's willing to watch week to week. The Agency
295
00:14:23.519 --> 00:14:25.519
was one of those that she was willing to watch
296
00:14:25.559 --> 00:14:28.440
week to week, but Lions is not. She loves Lions.
297
00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:32.080
She she devours that to that show when she starts
298
00:14:32.080 --> 00:14:34.080
watching it, so she gets mad when like, oh, we've
299
00:14:34.159 --> 00:14:36.120
run out of episodes and she has to wait. So
300
00:14:36.679 --> 00:14:39.639
just letting you know that that's something that she's Oh
301
00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:41.600
one last show we watched, which for those of you,
302
00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:43.840
because you know I love British shows. For those of
303
00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:47.440
you who have the BritBox app, there's a great show
304
00:14:47.559 --> 00:14:51.639
called Gone that dropped just a few days ago with
305
00:14:51.720 --> 00:14:54.279
Eva Miles and the actor who played the Governor and
306
00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:57.799
Walking Dead, and it focuses on the death of a
307
00:14:57.840 --> 00:15:02.519
headmaster's wife at a school and who killed her, who
308
00:15:02.559 --> 00:15:04.480
really killed her, the mystery of who killed her. It's
309
00:15:04.480 --> 00:15:07.039
a good six episode series there on BritBox with those
310
00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:09.159
who have the app. If you like British TV, I
311
00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:12.639
highly highly recommend BritBox and Acorn TV. Those are two
312
00:15:12.679 --> 00:15:15.799
apps that I have. All right, all right, hell of
313
00:15:15.799 --> 00:15:18.360
an intro fifteen minutes and over two hundred of you
314
00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:20.840
joining me right now. Thank you so much, and thank
315
00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:24.440
you to tam Mooso sending in some really great super chats. Tim,
316
00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:26.440
Thank you so much, brother, We're gonna get to those
317
00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:29.240
questions in just a little bit. But let's get into
318
00:15:29.919 --> 00:15:32.720
our first story. I don't have graphics, so I'm just
319
00:15:32.759 --> 00:15:36.000
gonna put up stories and we're gonna talk about them.
320
00:15:36.039 --> 00:15:39.159
And there is so much to get into here today,
321
00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:41.200
So let's start with the what do we want to
322
00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:43.240
start with? Where is it? What am I here? What
323
00:15:43.320 --> 00:15:45.240
am I? What am I have? First up on the
324
00:15:45.279 --> 00:15:49.519
list here? No that's not where is it here? Oh yeah,
325
00:15:49.600 --> 00:15:51.559
let's get into the Marvel stuff. So let's get into
326
00:15:51.600 --> 00:15:54.519
the Marvel stuff. Let's talk about that. That's probably the
327
00:15:54.519 --> 00:15:57.039
first thing we should be talking about here. So this
328
00:15:57.120 --> 00:15:59.759
comes to this is a come to us some screen rant,
329
00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:03.200
and let's talk about this because this is a really
330
00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:07.279
curious situation with screen rants. And let's make this a
331
00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:10.240
little bit bigger because I want to make sure we
332
00:16:10.320 --> 00:16:13.799
have everybody reading along with us. So let's zoom in
333
00:16:13.840 --> 00:16:18.159
a little bit. Multiple Marvel live action shows are reportedly
334
00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:21.559
in development at Disney Plus, while the Marvel This is
335
00:16:21.559 --> 00:16:25.120
from Andy Bebcot. I hope I'm saying that right, Andy Bebcot,
336
00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:30.159
bebocked bebocht is a bebocked beboched. Sorry Andy, if I'm
337
00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:32.320
mauling your last name. I apologize by this is a
338
00:16:32.360 --> 00:16:34.720
really nice write up. While the Marvel Cinematic Universe is
339
00:16:34.720 --> 00:16:36.679
not leaving the big string anytime soon, there have been
340
00:16:36.720 --> 00:16:39.120
a lot of questions running its content on the small screen.
341
00:16:39.639 --> 00:16:42.759
As Vision Quest is premiering this October, followed by Darren
342
00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:45.639
Obleborn Again season three. Things have been uncertain as of
343
00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:48.000
late when it comes to future TV properties in the
344
00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:51.720
MCU timeline. However, despite shocking announcements like One to Man
345
00:16:51.759 --> 00:16:53.440
season two not moving forward and We're going to get
346
00:16:53.440 --> 00:16:56.480
to ya ya, Abdul Mateen's comments about that after its
347
00:16:56.480 --> 00:16:59.200
initial renewal, the Disney Plus era for Marvel Studios may
348
00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:04.000
be taking a positive direction. Pucks. Julia Alexander recently revealed
349
00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:07.680
her latest newsletter that the MCUTV era is seemingly not
350
00:17:07.960 --> 00:17:11.680
ending on the Disney streaming platforms anytime soon. So let's
351
00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:16.960
go to that things. I want to read Julia's lines completely,
352
00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:20.640
So this is what she said. What's up with Marvel's
353
00:17:20.839 --> 00:17:24.680
Disney Plus slate. Let's make sure that's okay. Let me
354
00:17:24.799 --> 00:17:27.000
pull my pullet down here so you guys can read
355
00:17:27.039 --> 00:17:30.759
it with me. Where is it? Let? Me say, sometimes
356
00:17:30.759 --> 00:17:32.359
I have to make it a little bit bigger to
357
00:17:32.480 --> 00:17:37.799
do this thing here. So what's up with Marvel's Disney Plus? Late?
358
00:17:37.920 --> 00:17:40.240
Among all the news coming out of D twenty three,
359
00:17:40.680 --> 00:17:43.400
the biennial event where Disney super fans pay hundreds of
360
00:17:43.400 --> 00:17:46.240
dollars to watch trailers, it's a little cynical, but okay,
361
00:17:46.680 --> 00:17:49.400
it didn't escape notice that not a single new Marvel
362
00:17:49.480 --> 00:17:52.599
show was announced for Disney Plus. I guess our plan
363
00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:55.839
is just Spider Man when executive texted me on Sunday,
364
00:17:55.880 --> 00:17:59.160
half kidding. In fact, I've learned that there are multiple
365
00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:04.000
multiple live action Marvel series in development for Disney Plus,
366
00:18:04.440 --> 00:18:08.279
with announcements expected soon. Integrating a new batch of X
367
00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:12.039
Men characters set to appear in Avengers Doomsday, and expanding
368
00:18:12.039 --> 00:18:15.839
the theatrical universe further with new characters like Marvel's Nova,
369
00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:18.200
which is going to be a movie which is currently
370
00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:21.039
in development, may bleed in. So let's read that again.
371
00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:23.039
Integrating a new batch of X Men characters set to
372
00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:26.559
a period Avengers Doomsday, and expanding the theatrical universe further with
373
00:18:26.599 --> 00:18:29.400
new characters like Marvel's Nova, which is currently in development
374
00:18:29.759 --> 00:18:33.720
may bleed into the Streamers franchise strategy, but the slowdown
375
00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:37.799
does raise questions about Marvel's larger strategy post Doomsday and
376
00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:41.359
October's Vision Quest, a one new Marvel series currently slated
377
00:18:41.400 --> 00:18:45.160
for release. It also raises questions about the superhero genre
378
00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:48.200
writ large. Last week, it was reported that DC had
379
00:18:48.279 --> 00:18:51.960
quietly shelved two promised series, Waller and Paradise Lost. You
380
00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:54.920
guys know, I told you back in February that Paradized
381
00:18:54.920 --> 00:18:58.039
Loss was being was canceled, although they kept saying it
382
00:18:58.079 --> 00:19:01.039
was in extreme development. I knew it was canceled back
383
00:19:01.039 --> 00:19:04.680
in February. Feel about that? However? You feel about that?
384
00:19:05.119 --> 00:19:08.359
HBO Max's Peacemaker, the first DCU show to crack Nielson's
385
00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:11.720
Top ten, didn't get a third season. Amazon's genv which
386
00:19:11.720 --> 00:19:14.440
recorded a ninety percent on Rotten Tomatoes and a four
387
00:19:14.519 --> 00:19:17.039
hundred and twenty four million minute debut in its first week,
388
00:19:17.319 --> 00:19:19.839
good for eight on Nielsen's weekly Top ten streaming chart,
389
00:19:20.200 --> 00:19:25.039
got canceled due to production costs. Disney's Wonder Man was renewed,
390
00:19:25.119 --> 00:19:28.640
then quietly unrenewed. We'll see what happens with HBO's Lantern,
391
00:19:28.680 --> 00:19:31.839
starring Kyle Chandler, which is getting sterling reviews after debut
392
00:19:31.880 --> 00:19:34.519
in this week. The problem, of course, is that accolades
393
00:19:34.559 --> 00:19:37.279
for boundary pushy, show pushing shows like MS Marvel or
394
00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:41.559
Moonnight don't necessarily translate to new audiences. To wit, Daredevil
395
00:19:41.559 --> 00:19:44.440
board Against second season pulled an eighty six percent audience
396
00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:47.960
score on RT, among the best any Marvel title has earned,
397
00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:52.480
but it never cracked Nielsen's original charts and originals charts.
398
00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:54.680
And what streamers need now more than ever is why
399
00:19:54.759 --> 00:19:57.359
to reach Lanterns might buck that trend, but the era
400
00:19:57.359 --> 00:20:00.839
of big budget niche swings is ending. Why spend fifty
401
00:20:00.839 --> 00:20:02.839
million dollars on a show that delights only fans who
402
00:20:02.880 --> 00:20:05.720
were already subscribed and who are never going to cancel
403
00:20:05.799 --> 00:20:08.960
in the first place. That's a very very good point
404
00:20:08.960 --> 00:20:11.799
there from Julia Alexander, like what are you bringing in
405
00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:16.400
new people with the shows you are green lighting or
406
00:20:16.440 --> 00:20:21.440
are you not? And so what is the approach now
407
00:20:21.519 --> 00:20:25.359
going forward? What are these Disney shows that they are
408
00:20:26.400 --> 00:20:30.200
developing or Disney Plus shows that Marvel is developing to
409
00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:33.000
put on that stream? Because remember earlier in the week, Colleider,
410
00:20:34.160 --> 00:20:37.039
let's bring that up. Collider reported that they were going
411
00:20:37.119 --> 00:20:38.839
to stop doing these things, which is what a lot
412
00:20:38.920 --> 00:20:43.680
of people were speculating after what happened with Wonder Man
413
00:20:43.799 --> 00:20:46.160
season two that it was going to be the end
414
00:20:46.200 --> 00:20:48.599
of it. So this is Vision Quest could officially mark
415
00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:51.200
the end of an era for Marvel. This was supposedly
416
00:20:51.359 --> 00:20:55.559
an exclusive by Adam Blevins at Collider six days ago.
417
00:20:57.400 --> 00:21:01.680
Marvel has released two of the series of Blah Blah,
418
00:21:01.680 --> 00:21:04.559
Marvel's next big Disney Plus shows on Slave's Vision Quest. Well,
419
00:21:04.599 --> 00:21:06.000
it was believed that more shows were on the way
420
00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:08.599
after its conclusion, that is no longer the case. This
421
00:21:08.839 --> 00:21:11.640
was six days ago. Collider has learned that after Vision Quest,
422
00:21:11.640 --> 00:21:16.279
Marvel Studios would be cutting back on live action Disney
423
00:21:16.279 --> 00:21:19.920
Plus shows. This excludes returning series like Daredevil, Board Again
424
00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:23.039
and existing series of course, as well as potential mini
425
00:21:23.119 --> 00:21:25.039
series that may be developed under the Marvel Presents and
426
00:21:25.079 --> 00:21:28.400
Marvel Spotlight banners. Marvel continues to trust the steady hand
427
00:21:28.440 --> 00:21:30.079
of Brad Windebaum, who has long been the head of
428
00:21:30.079 --> 00:21:33.039
Marvel Studios streaming and animation divisions, but who was recently
429
00:21:33.160 --> 00:21:36.240
also promoted to further oversee comics and franchise development, a
430
00:21:36.279 --> 00:21:38.279
move that arrived in May just before a clear ship
431
00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:41.720
began to manifest in Marvel's future televised plans last month.
432
00:21:41.759 --> 00:21:44.279
The Sandia comiccown wonder Man was completely left out of
433
00:21:44.279 --> 00:21:46.119
Marvel's heavy presence at the event the week before it
434
00:21:46.200 --> 00:21:49.480
was canceled. In fact, Marvel CEO Kevin Feige didn't speak
435
00:21:49.519 --> 00:21:52.880
about the studio's television presence at all during the presentation,
436
00:21:52.920 --> 00:21:56.279
which focused entirely on the MCU's big screen future, with
437
00:21:56.359 --> 00:21:59.759
an emphasis on Avengers Doomsday, alongside exciting announcements for Ghostwriter
438
00:21:59.839 --> 00:22:02.839
and like Panther three. Looking back, the lack of live
439
00:22:02.839 --> 00:22:05.319
action TV announcements at Comic Con is glaring and it
440
00:22:05.359 --> 00:22:07.240
would be quite a pivot if there's no live action
441
00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:10.400
series news at D twenty three this weekend beyond Vision Quest,
442
00:22:10.440 --> 00:22:13.200
and there wasn't considering the event has been a staple
443
00:22:13.200 --> 00:22:17.400
for Marvel show announcements in recent years. So Kllid had
444
00:22:17.440 --> 00:22:19.400
previously heard that Disney use shows like the Acolte Will
445
00:22:19.480 --> 00:22:22.240
and even wonder Man as grand experiments to compete with
446
00:22:22.279 --> 00:22:24.960
other streamers like Netflix and HBO Max blah blah blah
447
00:22:24.960 --> 00:22:28.559
blah blah. So yeah, so this is interesting because like,
448
00:22:30.200 --> 00:22:32.759
I think there's somewhere in the middle is the truth, right,
449
00:22:33.279 --> 00:22:36.759
Like what Julia Alexander is saying in the in Puck
450
00:22:37.039 --> 00:22:40.640
is that she's heard and she knows or she's been
451
00:22:40.640 --> 00:22:46.079
told that there are multiple Disney shows in development right
452
00:22:46.200 --> 00:22:53.599
for Marvel, Marvel Shows and devellaent for Disney. But Adam's
453
00:22:53.680 --> 00:22:56.839
reporting might be correct because they might be only being
454
00:22:56.920 --> 00:23:01.160
they might be being developed to be potential miniserieses for
455
00:23:01.359 --> 00:23:05.279
Marvel Presents and Marvel Spotlight. So they won't necessarily be
456
00:23:05.599 --> 00:23:08.839
like Moonnight or Dared Devil Born Again or these other
457
00:23:08.920 --> 00:23:11.599
type of series like She Hulk or what have you
458
00:23:11.680 --> 00:23:15.720
that that Marvel did. These will be limited mini series
459
00:23:15.839 --> 00:23:20.240
within the umbrella of Marvel Presents or Marvel Spotlight. And
460
00:23:20.240 --> 00:23:22.119
I'll tell you why I think this is possible and
461
00:23:22.160 --> 00:23:25.039
why both of these reports might be the Like a
462
00:23:25.119 --> 00:23:27.839
combo of both of these reports might be the truth,
463
00:23:28.279 --> 00:23:31.599
because I've heard from I got a text or I
464
00:23:31.599 --> 00:23:35.519
got a message today from my source about this whole situation,
465
00:23:35.640 --> 00:23:40.720
all right, And my source was telling me here they
466
00:23:40.759 --> 00:23:44.680
are filming some kind of special in February. Marvel is
467
00:23:45.079 --> 00:23:47.440
not sure what it is yet. And he also and
468
00:23:47.480 --> 00:23:49.839
she also pointed out my source also pointed out that
469
00:23:49.920 --> 00:23:54.359
she Julia is a bit confused here said Nova is
470
00:23:54.400 --> 00:23:56.200
a movie now, and they're not making a show for
471
00:23:56.240 --> 00:23:58.559
the fox X Men. There's not going to be according
472
00:23:58.599 --> 00:24:03.039
to my source sources, they are not making a show
473
00:24:03.079 --> 00:24:06.240
for the Fox X Men. So some people were speculating
474
00:24:06.240 --> 00:24:08.359
that that could be a show on Disney plus that
475
00:24:08.519 --> 00:24:11.279
it seems to not be the plan. They are filming
476
00:24:11.319 --> 00:24:14.160
some kind of special in February, but not sure what
477
00:24:14.319 --> 00:24:16.839
it is yet, And I said, well, is it a
478
00:24:16.880 --> 00:24:19.160
show with an X Man instead of all the X Men?
479
00:24:19.240 --> 00:24:22.200
Maybe one X Man? And my source said, I don't
480
00:24:22.200 --> 00:24:25.240
think so. I heard two leads for this special, So
481
00:24:25.400 --> 00:24:27.599
maybe it's Heroes for Hire, which is why that's on
482
00:24:27.680 --> 00:24:32.720
my thumbnail for this particular episode, or some detective special
483
00:24:32.759 --> 00:24:35.400
that's what my source says, or some detective special, right,
484
00:24:35.640 --> 00:24:37.920
which goes along with what Jeff said I think last
485
00:24:37.920 --> 00:24:40.119
week or two weeks ago on the hot Mic that
486
00:24:40.240 --> 00:24:42.759
they could be looking to do like a true detective
487
00:24:42.839 --> 00:24:46.680
or detective type special show, which of course then would
488
00:24:46.680 --> 00:24:50.039
be true what Julia Alexander said that they were developing
489
00:24:50.640 --> 00:24:53.680
new Marvel series, but could also be true with what
490
00:24:53.720 --> 00:24:56.559
Brian was saying with Kaleider that they are mini series
491
00:24:56.839 --> 00:25:01.440
under the umbrella of Marvel Presents or Marvelo, so that
492
00:25:01.519 --> 00:25:03.519
may be the way they want to go. So that
493
00:25:03.559 --> 00:25:07.720
it's a limited amount of episodes, the production budget isn't
494
00:25:07.720 --> 00:25:12.599
as high, they can maybe push, you know, additional storylines
495
00:25:12.880 --> 00:25:17.119
through these episodes, or flesh out a newer character or
496
00:25:17.160 --> 00:25:20.759
a new character that we can enjoy in the Marvel
497
00:25:20.839 --> 00:25:22.480
universe and we can have fun with them. I mean,
498
00:25:22.519 --> 00:25:28.599
One Last Kill, the Punisher thing, Wolverine by Night, you know.
499
00:25:28.640 --> 00:25:32.240
So there's the Guardians of the Galaxy Christmas special, so
500
00:25:32.319 --> 00:25:36.319
we've seen that as a possibility. So maybe it's two, three,
501
00:25:36.759 --> 00:25:41.000
four episode mini series that's being developed, not necessarily like
502
00:25:41.119 --> 00:25:44.359
wonder Man a whole entire series or Echo or these
503
00:25:44.400 --> 00:25:47.880
other series. So maybe that that's what's going on here,
504
00:25:47.960 --> 00:25:50.960
is that they are developing new shows, but they're not
505
00:25:51.079 --> 00:25:55.559
developing the shows to be like eight to ten episodes
506
00:25:55.680 --> 00:25:58.559
or six even They may be limited to four, three
507
00:25:58.720 --> 00:26:01.519
or two or even one, as we saw with One
508
00:26:01.599 --> 00:26:05.759
Last Kill. That may be the path they're walking down
509
00:26:06.640 --> 00:26:12.880
as well. So we will see what they end up doing.
510
00:26:12.880 --> 00:26:16.880
Because I just never believe that Marvel was gonna walk
511
00:26:16.920 --> 00:26:20.519
away from TV completely there's just too much to do
512
00:26:20.680 --> 00:26:24.039
there and you've got to keep subscribers. So yes, maybe
513
00:26:24.119 --> 00:26:29.920
you're not adding more subscribers by developing or by putting
514
00:26:29.920 --> 00:26:32.519
out some of these shows. But if you stop doing
515
00:26:32.559 --> 00:26:35.440
Marvel TV, I think people would unsubscribe. I know, Julia
516
00:26:35.640 --> 00:26:38.319
Alexander over there, Puck said they're not going to cancel anyway,
517
00:26:38.359 --> 00:26:41.480
they might, you know, if you're not putting up Marvel
518
00:26:41.480 --> 00:26:45.079
content anymore other than the movies. Yes, some people just
519
00:26:45.160 --> 00:26:48.000
buy them physical media or buy them on digital. There
520
00:26:48.000 --> 00:26:50.799
are websites where you can watch these movies just fine.
521
00:26:51.359 --> 00:26:53.559
And so that's the situation we're looking at this thing.
522
00:26:53.599 --> 00:26:58.640
So maybe people would would unsubscribe because eventually there's not
523
00:26:58.759 --> 00:27:00.799
enough new or Marvel content for them to sink their
524
00:27:00.799 --> 00:27:03.359
teeth into. So I never bought that they were not
525
00:27:03.440 --> 00:27:07.680
going to do TV shows ever. Again, I did think
526
00:27:07.680 --> 00:27:10.039
that it was going to be much more exclusive. So
527
00:27:10.079 --> 00:27:14.160
maybe the Marvel Spotlights, Spotlight, Marvel presents, these are like
528
00:27:14.200 --> 00:27:17.960
the exclusive approach to things. So you have that going
529
00:27:18.000 --> 00:27:20.039
on there with Marvel, so we'll see. I mean, I
530
00:27:20.039 --> 00:27:23.160
think this is an interesting situation when you look at it.
531
00:27:23.680 --> 00:27:26.519
The path they want to walk down, for sure, so
532
00:27:26.559 --> 00:27:29.359
we'll see all right, two hundred and fifty of you
533
00:27:29.440 --> 00:27:31.440
joining me live right now. Thank you so much. Appreciate
534
00:27:31.480 --> 00:27:33.559
you hanging out with me on a Thursday nights. I
535
00:27:33.599 --> 00:27:35.680
know for those of you who were maybe hoping to
536
00:27:35.720 --> 00:27:37.799
see the hot mic, we are going to be tomorrow
537
00:27:37.799 --> 00:27:40.799
at four PMPT, not tonight. I'm just going solo because
538
00:27:40.960 --> 00:27:43.160
I felt froggy and I wanted to spend some time
539
00:27:43.559 --> 00:27:46.519
with these topics, kind of fleshing them out without Jeff going,
540
00:27:46.559 --> 00:27:48.240
you know what I've done with this topic, Let's move on,
541
00:27:48.359 --> 00:27:51.160
because I like to kind of explore topics and go
542
00:27:51.200 --> 00:27:52.720
into them. And you know, you guys know that if
543
00:27:52.720 --> 00:27:54.480
you watch my show, I am going to do that.
544
00:27:54.640 --> 00:27:58.079
So you know that going in this situation athena sense
545
00:27:58.079 --> 00:28:00.279
seems to make sense to keep certain hero franchise is
546
00:28:00.319 --> 00:28:02.799
TV content. Maybe their reason for people with Daredevil, even
547
00:28:02.839 --> 00:28:05.519
with the numbers, well, I think with Daredevil, it's more
548
00:28:05.559 --> 00:28:09.359
a matter they were committed and there's nothing there's I
549
00:28:09.440 --> 00:28:11.960
think they had to see that thing out, and I
550
00:28:12.000 --> 00:28:15.240
think they think once they've moved the politics out of
551
00:28:15.279 --> 00:28:17.880
that show, which is what's going to happen without Kingpin
552
00:28:17.960 --> 00:28:19.559
in season three. I think king Vin will still be
553
00:28:19.599 --> 00:28:21.960
in it on maybe as a cameo, but they're going
554
00:28:22.000 --> 00:28:25.519
to focus much more on the adventures of Daredevil. That
555
00:28:25.519 --> 00:28:26.839
could be a lot of fun. And I think they're
556
00:28:26.839 --> 00:28:29.920
going to use Daredebil clearly, as we've seen Kristin Ritter
557
00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:35.359
already come back, We've seen Mike Colter, We've seen the
558
00:28:35.400 --> 00:28:37.640
actor who plays Danny Ray. We've seen them on set
559
00:28:38.119 --> 00:28:40.680
or pictures of them on set. So clearly they're going
560
00:28:40.720 --> 00:28:43.599
to use that to launch Defenders. Maybe that's what launches
561
00:28:44.160 --> 00:28:46.839
that heroes for a higher mini series that will be
562
00:28:46.880 --> 00:28:50.400
a Marvel Presents or Marvel Spotlight thing for sure, so
563
00:28:50.519 --> 00:28:54.480
we will see. Yeah, I know, I hate that they
564
00:28:54.480 --> 00:28:57.079
never did anything. I hear you. I hear you, man,
565
00:28:57.160 --> 00:29:00.920
and put a pin in that because I want to
566
00:29:00.960 --> 00:29:03.799
come back to that in just a little bit. So
567
00:29:04.119 --> 00:29:06.039
just hang on CONTEXTU. I want to talk about that
568
00:29:06.160 --> 00:29:08.119
in just a little bit. But let's move on to
569
00:29:08.599 --> 00:29:11.880
speaking of Marvel. Let's move on to and Marvel Television series.
570
00:29:12.119 --> 00:29:15.039
Let's move on to what Yahya abdul Mateen the second
571
00:29:15.039 --> 00:29:20.079
had to say about this situation that's going on here. Yeah, yeah,
572
00:29:20.279 --> 00:29:22.480
this is with Vanity Fair. Let me make sure, I
573
00:29:22.519 --> 00:29:25.240
get myself in the right How can I default? How
574
00:29:25.240 --> 00:29:27.240
can I default it to go to that? I wonder
575
00:29:27.279 --> 00:29:29.000
if there's a way to default it to go to that.
576
00:29:29.039 --> 00:29:30.880
I would like it to. I would like to be
577
00:29:30.920 --> 00:29:32.880
able to do that if I could so anyway, Yah
578
00:29:32.920 --> 00:29:34.720
yabua ma team. The second was in her He's been
579
00:29:34.720 --> 00:29:36.720
doing a number of interviews. He was on NPR as well,
580
00:29:36.759 --> 00:29:39.799
but he did this for Vanity Fair, interviewed by Rebecca Ford,
581
00:29:39.799 --> 00:29:42.200
who I always enjoy her articles and her writing on
582
00:29:42.240 --> 00:29:45.319
these things. And you get the little intro talking about
583
00:29:45.359 --> 00:29:48.640
everything he's done, talking about wonder Man, talking about getting
584
00:29:48.680 --> 00:29:52.519
the Emmy nomination, all these things, and how humbled he
585
00:29:52.599 --> 00:29:56.720
was by all of it, and playing Simon Williams. So
586
00:29:56.759 --> 00:29:58.359
it's a it's a good read if you guys want
587
00:29:58.400 --> 00:29:59.839
to take a look at it. But she gets he
588
00:30:00.119 --> 00:30:02.920
she interviews him right, and he's got The Adventures of
589
00:30:03.000 --> 00:30:06.359
Cliff Booth coming soon as well. But it's a very
590
00:30:06.599 --> 00:30:09.240
so here's the interview. It's very meta that wonder Man
591
00:30:09.559 --> 00:30:12.359
was a show about this heartbreaking show business and here
592
00:30:12.480 --> 00:30:15.000
is the show being canceled. And he said, well, it's
593
00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:16.920
a lesson in life. It's so close to what real
594
00:30:16.960 --> 00:30:19.799
life is. You have just this guy Simon who finally
595
00:30:19.799 --> 00:30:22.640
had his dreams come true, but we saw him overcome
596
00:30:22.680 --> 00:30:24.759
after all of his attempts at getting close and then
597
00:30:24.799 --> 00:30:28.000
not closing the deal. Many people have that experience in
598
00:30:28.000 --> 00:30:30.880
real life. Very true. The cancelation of the show is
599
00:30:30.920 --> 00:30:33.319
just another one of those examples, so a very meta
600
00:30:33.400 --> 00:30:37.000
in that way that Simon wasn't able to lock down
601
00:30:37.039 --> 00:30:40.160
the thing and had it canceled, his opportunity canceled, just
602
00:30:40.279 --> 00:30:42.119
like the show with cancer in real life. Did you
603
00:30:42.160 --> 00:30:45.279
get a specific reason for the cancelation, Yes, I did.
604
00:30:45.880 --> 00:30:47.720
I was told that it had something to do with
605
00:30:47.759 --> 00:30:51.359
the viewership numbers. I wasn't told what those numbers were,
606
00:30:51.839 --> 00:30:55.079
but ultimately, for whatever reason it was, I think they
607
00:30:55.079 --> 00:30:58.000
decided that it didn't make sense for business, and that's
608
00:30:58.039 --> 00:30:59.880
the decision that we live with and we keep on
609
00:31:00.400 --> 00:31:03.839
marching forward. How much had you talked about where we
610
00:31:03.960 --> 00:31:05.960
go next season? Well, I stayed away from that. I
611
00:31:05.960 --> 00:31:08.119
think we have fantastic writers. They did a great job
612
00:31:08.160 --> 00:31:10.640
of setting the tone for season one. So I had
613
00:31:10.640 --> 00:31:13.039
my hopes and my dreams about where I wanted the
614
00:31:13.119 --> 00:31:15.640
character to go for season two. I was very interested
615
00:31:15.680 --> 00:31:17.720
in telling the story of Simon, who we watched to
616
00:31:17.720 --> 00:31:20.759
pursue everything he's always wanted. And then I think for me,
617
00:31:21.400 --> 00:31:23.319
the interesting question to explore is, well, what are you
618
00:31:23.359 --> 00:31:25.839
going to do when you finally get it? What do
619
00:31:25.839 --> 00:31:27.799
you do when you finally get everything that you've always wanted?
620
00:31:27.799 --> 00:31:29.240
And for a guy like Simon to get fame and
621
00:31:29.279 --> 00:31:31.839
Odorian a little bit of power. He has a big heart,
622
00:31:31.880 --> 00:31:34.319
but he also has an ego. He also wants to
623
00:31:34.359 --> 00:31:38.440
be a star. Andrew Guess mentioned his video about the
624
00:31:38.480 --> 00:31:41.519
cancelation that fans were having conversations about the kind of
625
00:31:41.559 --> 00:31:46.160
stories that we're prioritizing. Prioritizing there's been online discourse between
626
00:31:46.160 --> 00:31:48.440
the cancelation of this and Maharsha alives frustration about the
627
00:31:48.480 --> 00:31:51.519
Blade film. Your own production company focuses on telling more
628
00:31:51.559 --> 00:31:54.240
black and inclusive stories. Do you feel like there is
629
00:31:54.240 --> 00:31:57.759
a problem with what is and isn't being grimly greenlit
630
00:31:58.079 --> 00:32:01.839
or supported, and yeah, says I think the optics are obvious.
631
00:32:02.480 --> 00:32:06.480
If I'm a big business, if I'm Disney, if I'm Marvel,
632
00:32:07.359 --> 00:32:09.799
I don't want to be attached to these optics. So
633
00:32:09.839 --> 00:32:13.240
it should be a priority to change that narrative and
634
00:32:13.319 --> 00:32:16.200
to do what it takes to responsibly change that narrative
635
00:32:16.240 --> 00:32:20.039
with quality stories, with quality resources. I felt that our
636
00:32:20.079 --> 00:32:23.200
show did have quality story, did have quality resources, did
637
00:32:23.240 --> 00:32:26.240
have quality actors and people, and the voters responded to
638
00:32:26.240 --> 00:32:29.519
it positively. So our show does deserve some study and
639
00:32:29.599 --> 00:32:32.640
some real hard information about why a show like this
640
00:32:32.759 --> 00:32:35.720
did not continue forward, because it had all of the
641
00:32:35.839 --> 00:32:40.000
ingredients that one would want in a show. So then
642
00:32:40.039 --> 00:32:41.920
she goes on to ask him about his preparation and
643
00:32:41.920 --> 00:32:44.119
how he played the character. So, like I said, it's
644
00:32:44.119 --> 00:32:46.319
a really good interview to read if you want some
645
00:32:46.359 --> 00:32:48.799
more background on Yah Yah and how he approached the
646
00:32:48.880 --> 00:32:52.039
character of Simon Williams and how the show unfurled itself,
647
00:32:52.119 --> 00:32:54.039
and a little more into who he is as a
648
00:32:54.039 --> 00:32:56.039
person and what he looks for and how he prepares
649
00:32:56.519 --> 00:32:58.119
for roles and what he wants to do with his
650
00:32:58.160 --> 00:33:00.759
career going forward. But this is interesting, but I want
651
00:33:00.759 --> 00:33:02.839
to focus on these answers because he said, I was
652
00:33:02.880 --> 00:33:05.720
told it had something with viewership numbers. I wasn't told
653
00:33:05.759 --> 00:33:08.680
what those numbers were, but ultimately, for whatever reason, I
654
00:33:08.680 --> 00:33:10.559
think they decided to make sense for business and decision,
655
00:33:10.599 --> 00:33:13.119
we live with a K. So this is fascinating to
656
00:33:13.160 --> 00:33:17.839
me because you're told that this doesn't go forward, then
657
00:33:17.880 --> 00:33:20.119
you're not told what the numbers are, so you don't
658
00:33:20.119 --> 00:33:23.119
even know what numbers you need to hit. So you're
659
00:33:23.160 --> 00:33:26.039
away so you can keep going with the show. And
660
00:33:26.119 --> 00:33:29.359
this show did do. I think it hit one of
661
00:33:29.359 --> 00:33:32.599
the one of the episodes was like number nine on
662
00:33:32.680 --> 00:33:34.160
the Nielsen ratings. I think it was, or one of
663
00:33:34.200 --> 00:33:36.519
the episodes got into the top ten of the Nielsen ratings,
664
00:33:37.200 --> 00:33:41.119
but maybe overall it didn't quite get there. That being said,
665
00:33:41.240 --> 00:33:45.200
I would be very shocked that the Daredevil numbers were
666
00:33:45.319 --> 00:33:48.440
that much more than the wonder Man numbers. And this
667
00:33:48.559 --> 00:33:51.359
is where the suspicion comes in for those of us
668
00:33:51.400 --> 00:33:53.519
who watch this stuff and pay attention to this stuff,
669
00:33:53.880 --> 00:33:58.519
because why isn't Disney showing us the numbers. I believe
670
00:33:58.559 --> 00:34:00.960
they're not showing us the numbers because they know that
671
00:34:01.000 --> 00:34:04.160
if they show Daredevil, a white led show is doing
672
00:34:04.240 --> 00:34:07.200
less numbers than a black led show. And you're giving
673
00:34:07.279 --> 00:34:09.199
it a season three and not cancel that, but you're
674
00:34:09.480 --> 00:34:11.440
canceling a season two of wonder Man after you'd already
675
00:34:11.559 --> 00:34:14.760
proved a season two of wonder Man. That's an issue
676
00:34:14.960 --> 00:34:17.599
those optics get even worse when you look at the
677
00:34:17.599 --> 00:34:19.360
optics that we're dealing with now get even worse if
678
00:34:19.400 --> 00:34:21.719
you look at it that way. So this idea that
679
00:34:21.800 --> 00:34:25.400
these companies get to hide numbers, I think it is bullshit.
680
00:34:25.920 --> 00:34:29.320
I think they should absolutely be required to show their
681
00:34:29.440 --> 00:34:33.079
numbers so that we as the audience, we as analysts,
682
00:34:33.480 --> 00:34:35.480
we as people who have a right to call out
683
00:34:35.519 --> 00:34:42.000
companies if they're not like servicing their viewers and their needs,
684
00:34:42.239 --> 00:34:44.599
meeting their needs. Have a right to say, well, why
685
00:34:45.000 --> 00:34:46.800
didn't you do this? We have a right to question
686
00:34:46.920 --> 00:34:51.079
Josh Diamorrow or Brad Winderbaum or anybody who's in power, Hey,
687
00:34:51.360 --> 00:34:54.519
why aren't you continuing with Wonderman season two when these
688
00:34:54.639 --> 00:34:58.360
numbers are so good compared to the other shows. You
689
00:34:58.360 --> 00:35:00.519
know what I'm saying. And I think that's where the
690
00:35:00.559 --> 00:35:03.639
problem lies. I mean, Moonnight, I can understand that not
691
00:35:03.679 --> 00:35:06.239
going forward because the numbers weren't great, and I would
692
00:35:06.239 --> 00:35:10.079
imagine and the critical reception wasn't that strong. But wonder
693
00:35:10.119 --> 00:35:12.880
Man was something that completely blew up and people were
694
00:35:12.920 --> 00:35:16.719
talking about it in the pop culture zeitgeist. Okay, And
695
00:35:16.760 --> 00:35:19.719
so I just am frustrated that we don't get to
696
00:35:19.719 --> 00:35:22.800
get these numbers. The same thing with Netflix. Netflix doesn't
697
00:35:22.840 --> 00:35:25.559
always surrender their numbers. So these are the things that
698
00:35:25.559 --> 00:35:29.239
I think we need to have transparency. You guys know me,
699
00:35:29.280 --> 00:35:31.000
if you follow me long enough, you know I'm very
700
00:35:31.039 --> 00:35:34.719
big on transparency. What's the truth here, Show us the numbers,
701
00:35:35.000 --> 00:35:38.119
let us see what's actually happening here, because if you don't,
702
00:35:38.199 --> 00:35:42.360
then you let people look at what you're doing and
703
00:35:42.559 --> 00:35:44.880
assume certain narratives are going on. And I don't think
704
00:35:44.960 --> 00:35:47.519
you want those narratives to be out there. And certainly
705
00:35:47.519 --> 00:35:50.400
with Disney, we know although ABC is fire or Disney's
706
00:35:50.440 --> 00:35:55.199
finally pushing back on Trump through with the FCC, they're suing.
707
00:35:55.239 --> 00:35:58.039
You know, they're put the lawsuit to stop the removing
708
00:35:58.079 --> 00:36:03.000
of broadcasting licenses. But that's more a matter of like overall, right,
709
00:36:03.079 --> 00:36:06.920
it's not necessarily like, well, we want to protect our
710
00:36:06.960 --> 00:36:09.679
black shows and we want to protect our diversity shows.
711
00:36:10.199 --> 00:36:14.880
That's more approaching. We want to predict our entire income
712
00:36:14.960 --> 00:36:18.480
source to put whatever shows they want out there. That's
713
00:36:18.480 --> 00:36:20.719
what that lawsuit is all about. If you take away
714
00:36:20.719 --> 00:36:23.360
our lives are broadcasting license, then we're in some real
715
00:36:23.400 --> 00:36:26.079
trouble or worse. If you start telling us what we
716
00:36:26.119 --> 00:36:29.400
can put on our airwaves. That's an issue as well.
717
00:36:29.440 --> 00:36:31.719
But with this stuff, I think it's I think what
718
00:36:31.760 --> 00:36:33.800
he says here that they had They did everything that
719
00:36:33.840 --> 00:36:37.079
they were supposed to do. They had quality writers, quality actors,
720
00:36:37.159 --> 00:36:41.679
quality characters, quality direction, and a quality story that people
721
00:36:41.719 --> 00:36:44.679
really liked and gravitated to. Now I see some snarky
722
00:36:44.719 --> 00:36:47.440
bitches on social media who are like, you know, oh,
723
00:36:47.559 --> 00:36:50.079
because it didn't have the viewership, They don't know, they
724
00:36:50.119 --> 00:36:54.400
have no fucking clue, okay, And so to me, it's like,
725
00:36:54.480 --> 00:36:56.679
this is the thing we have to find out so
726
00:36:56.719 --> 00:36:59.239
that we have some information and we can go forward
727
00:36:59.239 --> 00:37:02.320
with that information and understand the thinking of what they're
728
00:37:02.320 --> 00:37:04.280
trying to do. And some people might be like, they
729
00:37:04.280 --> 00:37:07.239
don't owe you anything, Fine, they don't. I think they do.
730
00:37:07.440 --> 00:37:11.000
And I think because we pay the bills, we pay
731
00:37:11.039 --> 00:37:14.079
the subscriber fees every month, we have a right to
732
00:37:14.159 --> 00:37:17.119
demand certain things of these companies. If we are keeping
733
00:37:17.199 --> 00:37:20.920
these companies afloat by going to their movies, buying these tickets,
734
00:37:21.079 --> 00:37:25.280
subscribing to their streaming services, buying their merchandise, keeping them
735
00:37:25.400 --> 00:37:29.239
in the fucking jobs that they have, we absolutely have
736
00:37:29.320 --> 00:37:32.199
a right to request these things and get these numbers.
737
00:37:32.440 --> 00:37:34.360
And I wish there was a way. And I know
738
00:37:34.440 --> 00:37:36.159
some of you may be like, there's bigger things that
739
00:37:36.199 --> 00:37:38.679
Congress needs to worry about, but I wish there was
740
00:37:38.719 --> 00:37:42.639
a way to get it to be a requirement that
741
00:37:42.840 --> 00:37:45.840
all of these streaming services and all of these channels
742
00:37:45.880 --> 00:37:49.239
and all of these companies have to make their ratings public,
743
00:37:49.360 --> 00:37:52.000
have to make their viewership numbers public, so that we
744
00:37:52.039 --> 00:37:54.280
have a better idea what's going on, and we as
745
00:37:54.320 --> 00:37:57.119
an audience can be like, well, Dan, we really dropped
746
00:37:57.159 --> 00:37:59.320
the ball on a certain show that we really liked.
747
00:38:00.679 --> 00:38:02.639
Next time a show like this comes wrong, we better
748
00:38:02.719 --> 00:38:04.760
make sure we watch it. We better make sure we
749
00:38:04.800 --> 00:38:06.519
give it its ratings right. And so I think this
750
00:38:06.639 --> 00:38:10.239
is an element of that as well. And then the
751
00:38:10.280 --> 00:38:12.519
second part here when he's talking about optics, which is
752
00:38:12.559 --> 00:38:15.159
what I'm just kind of alluding to as well, he said,
753
00:38:15.199 --> 00:38:17.800
I think the optics are obvious. If I'm a big business,
754
00:38:17.800 --> 00:38:19.559
if I'm Disney, if I'm Marvel, I don't want to
755
00:38:19.559 --> 00:38:22.519
be attached to these optics. So this is I mean,
756
00:38:22.519 --> 00:38:24.719
this is a bold comment from me Aya abdua ma team.
757
00:38:24.719 --> 00:38:27.840
The second because again there's no second season of wonder Man,
758
00:38:27.920 --> 00:38:30.519
but there is a Doomsday movie and a Secret Awards
759
00:38:30.559 --> 00:38:33.079
movie coming. And so for you to be like, well,
760
00:38:33.159 --> 00:38:35.159
if I'm Disney, I don't want to be attached to
761
00:38:35.280 --> 00:38:39.760
You're essentially telling Disney in kind of a passive aggressive way,
762
00:38:39.920 --> 00:38:41.880
like you don't want to be attached to this stuff.
763
00:38:42.360 --> 00:38:45.400
So you need to be aware of changing this narrative,
764
00:38:45.519 --> 00:38:48.119
right to do what it takes to responsibly change that
765
00:38:48.239 --> 00:38:52.000
narrative with quality stores, with quality resources. So he's saying,
766
00:38:52.599 --> 00:38:56.440
don't just cast black people, don't just cast women or
767
00:38:56.639 --> 00:39:01.559
people of color, or disability, people with disability or LGBTQ plus, Like,
768
00:39:01.679 --> 00:39:03.880
if you're going to do shows like this, you have
769
00:39:03.960 --> 00:39:06.960
to have quality stories and quality resources. I think he
770
00:39:07.000 --> 00:39:09.519
speaks the language that a majority of us speak. We
771
00:39:09.599 --> 00:39:12.840
want good shows. And if you strip away the anti woke,
772
00:39:12.920 --> 00:39:16.000
anti DEAI people, what is the thing they always say,
773
00:39:16.320 --> 00:39:18.760
just give us a good story. Now I don't believe
774
00:39:19.519 --> 00:39:21.960
I don't know ninety percent of them actually believe that.
775
00:39:22.519 --> 00:39:26.840
But the thing is, you could satisfy everybody by doing
776
00:39:26.880 --> 00:39:30.800
good shows, quality shows, good writing, good acting. Wonder Man
777
00:39:30.880 --> 00:39:34.360
did that, and so in the end, what really happened
778
00:39:34.400 --> 00:39:37.599
here without the numbers, we can't really say it because
779
00:39:37.719 --> 00:39:43.760
I don't trust an executive to tell me what the
780
00:39:43.840 --> 00:39:46.880
numbers were, or you know, to say if they're good
781
00:39:46.960 --> 00:39:49.000
or bad. That don't means the specific numbers, but to
782
00:39:49.039 --> 00:39:51.760
say the judgment that they were good or bad. I
783
00:39:51.800 --> 00:39:54.400
would like an independent third party that gets access to
784
00:39:54.440 --> 00:39:57.800
all this stuff, that issues the actual numbers, the viewership numbers.
785
00:39:58.079 --> 00:39:59.639
I think we have a right to take a look
786
00:39:59.639 --> 00:40:02.360
at that, I was saying earlier. So this is the thing.
787
00:40:02.400 --> 00:40:06.239
So he says, we responded produced quality results the viewers
788
00:40:06.239 --> 00:40:09.079
responded to positively, that the voter responds to positive. So
789
00:40:09.119 --> 00:40:11.719
our show does deserve some study and some real hard informa.
790
00:40:11.760 --> 00:40:14.480
So he's saying that. I think he's essentially calling Disney
791
00:40:14.480 --> 00:40:17.760
on the map. He's saying, hey, these are bad optics.
792
00:40:17.920 --> 00:40:19.760
You don't want to be a test these optics. You
793
00:40:19.840 --> 00:40:23.440
need to fix these optics. And earlier he was saying,
794
00:40:23.599 --> 00:40:25.159
I don't know what the numbers are, but I like
795
00:40:25.159 --> 00:40:27.960
to see the numbers. But he said our show deserves
796
00:40:27.960 --> 00:40:31.440
some study and some real hard information about why a
797
00:40:31.480 --> 00:40:33.519
show like this did not continue forward because it had
798
00:40:33.559 --> 00:40:35.199
all the agreenents that one would want to show. So
799
00:40:35.239 --> 00:40:38.079
he's saying, I need Disney to give me the information
800
00:40:38.800 --> 00:40:42.199
to prove to me why this thing was canceled. So
801
00:40:43.239 --> 00:40:46.119
it's a gutsy move by Aya. He's a damn good actor.
802
00:40:46.159 --> 00:40:49.719
He certainly no Wallflowers, so his talent and his performance
803
00:40:49.760 --> 00:40:52.800
has earned him some cachet here. But I wonder if
804
00:40:52.800 --> 00:40:55.400
this means Disney's going to freeze him out for like
805
00:40:55.440 --> 00:40:58.400
Doomsday or Secret Wars, because a lot of people really
806
00:40:58.480 --> 00:41:01.320
enjoyed his wonder Man and maybe he knows he's not
807
00:41:01.400 --> 00:41:04.360
in Doomsday or Sekreet Wars, and so he's feeling the
808
00:41:04.440 --> 00:41:07.639
need that he can speak freely about this in the
809
00:41:07.639 --> 00:41:09.840
way that he is in this interview at other interviews.
810
00:41:09.840 --> 00:41:14.480
So it's an interesting situation on so many levels because
811
00:41:14.519 --> 00:41:18.840
this is it's important comics real, says Broke. I asked
812
00:41:18.840 --> 00:41:20.760
a friend who works over at Disney, and they told
813
00:41:20.800 --> 00:41:22.480
me they didn't do it because of Deston's schedule and
814
00:41:22.559 --> 00:41:24.960
that they were working on a holiday special presentation. Yeah,
815
00:41:25.320 --> 00:41:28.679
it was never about Destin's schedule. The showrunner came out
816
00:41:28.719 --> 00:41:30.719
and said that. He said, if you guys have watched
817
00:41:30.719 --> 00:41:34.000
that Instagram video he did, he said everyone was on board.
818
00:41:34.119 --> 00:41:37.119
Everyone had their schedule cleared, everyone was ready to come back.
819
00:41:37.639 --> 00:41:40.880
It wasn't because Spider Man made a kajillion dollars that destin.
820
00:41:40.920 --> 00:41:43.119
Daniel Critton didn't want to come back. He was excited
821
00:41:43.119 --> 00:41:45.719
to come back. They were putting together a writer's room.
822
00:41:46.039 --> 00:41:49.239
They had already started mapping out storylines, so this was
823
00:41:49.280 --> 00:41:53.159
in motion. This was in motion, and in the end
824
00:41:53.159 --> 00:41:56.119
it didn't happen, And I think that's a shame on
825
00:41:56.119 --> 00:42:05.320
so many levels. Yes, Owen, but they don't submit those numbers.
826
00:42:05.320 --> 00:42:10.119
They're not required to submit those numbers specifically per episode, right.
827
00:42:10.360 --> 00:42:15.000
Nielsen only tells you this show broke through, this episode
828
00:42:15.079 --> 00:42:18.519
broke through and got into the top ten, but they
829
00:42:18.519 --> 00:42:22.880
don't give you the full actual numbers because these streaming
830
00:42:22.920 --> 00:42:27.079
services are not required to do that. So I think
831
00:42:27.159 --> 00:42:29.800
that's really frustrating on so many level. I love how
832
00:42:29.840 --> 00:42:32.199
you guys think, like Rokie, if you ever heard of Nielsen,
833
00:42:32.440 --> 00:42:35.280
do do? Yes? I fucking heard of Nielsen. But that's
834
00:42:35.360 --> 00:42:38.920
not the same thing of what I'm asking about. So
835
00:42:39.119 --> 00:42:41.280
it's more a matter of, like, we need the actual
836
00:42:41.440 --> 00:42:44.519
hard numbers. If you say Nielsen, go ahead, show me
837
00:42:44.559 --> 00:42:49.239
the link that Nielsen to show it gives me every
838
00:42:50.039 --> 00:42:54.000
episode and it's viewing numbers. Show me that link. I
839
00:42:54.039 --> 00:42:55.840
will eat my words. You show me that link, I
840
00:42:55.840 --> 00:42:57.679
will go look at it. I will pull it up
841
00:42:57.719 --> 00:43:00.800
on the screen and will go episode by episode, and
842
00:43:00.840 --> 00:43:03.360
then we'll compared to Darre devil Born again. You know
843
00:43:03.400 --> 00:43:06.480
what you can't because it doesn't exist. So that's why
844
00:43:06.480 --> 00:43:09.280
you can't do that whole thing in terms of that. So, yeah,
845
00:43:09.400 --> 00:43:12.679
ratings on broadcast are because of commercial sale exactly, Elerg
846
00:43:12.880 --> 00:43:15.840
ratings on the broadcast. Yes, you can get Nielsen ratings
847
00:43:15.840 --> 00:43:19.280
on broadcast shows, but you cannot get them on streaming shows.
848
00:43:19.280 --> 00:43:21.880
That's the difference. And that's what I'm getting at. They
849
00:43:21.880 --> 00:43:26.599
don't need to do though, so right exactly, Kevin says, Yeah, Yeah,
850
00:43:26.719 --> 00:43:29.199
Duel can act. Wonder Man was boring, not a surprise
851
00:43:29.280 --> 00:43:31.280
that gout cancer. All right, Kevin, I'm sure you can
852
00:43:31.320 --> 00:43:33.800
write a better show or act in a better way
853
00:43:33.840 --> 00:43:36.679
down the road. All right, let's answer some questions here
854
00:43:36.719 --> 00:43:39.119
before we move on to a little bit more of
855
00:43:39.159 --> 00:43:40.840
the other stuff I want to talk about. Let's take
856
00:43:40.840 --> 00:43:45.039
a quick peruse around the neighborhood here. Brian Davison Roca
857
00:43:45.119 --> 00:43:47.719
once more, I'm dropping support for your hard work lately. Man,
858
00:43:47.760 --> 00:43:49.880
you are putting in that work with Harlof Winston and
859
00:43:49.920 --> 00:43:51.960
the buddies, and I for one am always happy to
860
00:43:52.000 --> 00:43:55.519
drop support Avengers as symble because I can't thank you, Brian.
861
00:43:55.599 --> 00:43:58.440
It's very kind of you, bro, you know, I always
862
00:43:58.480 --> 00:44:00.840
humbling when you come in with the words, and the
863
00:44:00.880 --> 00:44:03.679
positive words of encouragement means a lot. I appreciate you, man,
864
00:44:03.719 --> 00:44:06.360
and thanks for supporting it. For everyone who's supporting us
865
00:44:06.400 --> 00:44:09.719
by sending stream labs and super tats, I appreciate Ellen
866
00:44:09.719 --> 00:44:11.440
and your girl said support for you and the truth.
867
00:44:11.480 --> 00:44:13.920
Looking forward to many more. Thank you, Ellen, nerd girl. Yeah,
868
00:44:13.920 --> 00:44:16.519
I'm trying to make myself do more of these, go
869
00:44:16.639 --> 00:44:18.840
live and talk about this stuff, you know, because it's
870
00:44:19.119 --> 00:44:21.320
I enjoy talking about this and I enjoy touching base
871
00:44:21.360 --> 00:44:24.119
with you Wall honestly. Zion Miguel Sas, do you have
872
00:44:24.119 --> 00:44:27.119
any fan cast for Magneto actors in their forties? Also,
873
00:44:27.159 --> 00:44:29.920
what do you think of Josh O'Connor for Hank McCoy. Yeah,
874
00:44:29.920 --> 00:44:32.519
I don't think Josh O'Connor Frank McCoy. That doesn't really
875
00:44:33.159 --> 00:44:35.880
strike me. I've seen some people suggest Josh for Magneto
876
00:44:36.000 --> 00:44:41.440
and I've gone I kind of like Josh O'Connor for Magneto.
877
00:44:43.159 --> 00:44:45.840
I mean, I don't know if Josh has any Jewishness
878
00:44:45.840 --> 00:44:48.159
in his background. I don't know if they're going to
879
00:44:48.199 --> 00:44:51.440
connect Magneto up to the Holocaust. But I think Josh
880
00:44:51.519 --> 00:44:55.239
is a fantastic actor, and I think he'd be amazing
881
00:44:55.280 --> 00:44:58.280
as Magneto. But the other names that we heard here
882
00:44:58.559 --> 00:45:02.000
and this, by the way, this was posted in a
883
00:45:02.079 --> 00:45:05.480
number of places, but there is no like actual article
884
00:45:06.119 --> 00:45:08.639
but complex pop culture and Complex is not really known
885
00:45:08.639 --> 00:45:12.599
for posting bullshit, but they posted this earlier today. Magneto
886
00:45:12.599 --> 00:45:15.400
will officially pair Marvel's X Men film in twenty twenty eight,
887
00:45:15.599 --> 00:45:17.960
which has been reported all around, including Deadline reported a
888
00:45:18.000 --> 00:45:22.280
few days ago, but they mentioned Lee Pace, Henry Cavell,
889
00:45:22.480 --> 00:45:28.199
and Matt Smith are reportedly being eyed for Magneto. Now,
890
00:45:29.760 --> 00:45:34.360
when I look at Christopher Abbott, I don't know that
891
00:45:34.400 --> 00:45:39.039
he I don't know that Lee Pace or Matt Smith.
892
00:45:39.239 --> 00:45:42.159
I feel like both of them would act Christopher under
893
00:45:42.159 --> 00:45:48.320
the table, So I don't know necessarily that that's the
894
00:45:48.400 --> 00:45:51.199
right combo. Now, Henry Cavill, I think it's a fascinating name.
895
00:45:51.239 --> 00:45:53.119
I think it's utter bullshit. I don't think they're actually
896
00:45:53.159 --> 00:45:55.480
looking at him at all for Magneto. But if he
897
00:45:55.559 --> 00:45:58.639
was to play Magneto, that would be really interesting, like
898
00:45:58.639 --> 00:46:01.920
a muscular Magneto. So although we seen it in the
899
00:46:01.920 --> 00:46:04.760
comics and certainly X Men ninety seven, he's quite a
900
00:46:04.800 --> 00:46:08.800
built dude, so maybe. But I mean, this role has
901
00:46:08.840 --> 00:46:12.559
to have a lot of depth and complexity and nuance,
902
00:46:12.639 --> 00:46:16.320
and that isn't always what comes to mind with Henry,
903
00:46:16.320 --> 00:46:18.119
although I did love him and Man of Steel I
904
00:46:18.119 --> 00:46:21.199
thought that so he had some really tender moments and
905
00:46:21.239 --> 00:46:24.599
emotional moments in Man of Steel and BBS. But I
906
00:46:24.639 --> 00:46:27.079
don't know that he'd necessarily be the choice. Matt Smith
907
00:46:27.920 --> 00:46:30.119
is a very distinct possibility. I mean, he's been on
908
00:46:30.159 --> 00:46:32.800
a run lately, so I would not be surprised if
909
00:46:32.840 --> 00:46:35.920
Matt Smith is in the conversation. So we will see,
910
00:46:35.960 --> 00:46:39.679
We will see. Tim Simpsons, Thank you, Tim, very very
911
00:46:39.760 --> 00:46:43.519
much appreciate this very kind donation. Interesting online talk I
912
00:46:43.599 --> 00:46:46.280
had with international film fans about this Chinese film that
913
00:46:46.360 --> 00:46:48.920
premiered this past weekend in China, along with the odyssey
914
00:46:49.400 --> 00:46:51.440
Once Upon a Time in the Middle East, which they
915
00:46:51.480 --> 00:46:53.760
say that Americans need to see because it deals with
916
00:46:53.840 --> 00:46:57.559
the Iwaq Iraq war. Basically, we know politically how it
917
00:46:57.599 --> 00:46:59.480
was mistake a mistake for our country to go to
918
00:46:59.519 --> 00:47:01.800
war in Iraq. But what we don't see, which this
919
00:47:01.840 --> 00:47:05.280
film portrays is the horror on the ground innocent Iraqi
920
00:47:05.400 --> 00:47:10.119
see from our American warfare and how communities are devastated. Well,
921
00:47:10.199 --> 00:47:12.320
I will put that on my radar, Tim. You know me,
922
00:47:12.400 --> 00:47:14.760
I'm not one to shy away from looking at the
923
00:47:14.760 --> 00:47:17.400
hard stuff that we do around the world and the
924
00:47:17.440 --> 00:47:20.599
way it unfortunately comes back on us, comes back on
925
00:47:20.679 --> 00:47:24.360
its citizens, come comes back on its soldiers. As a
926
00:47:24.360 --> 00:47:28.039
former army man myself, I'm acutely aware of that. So
927
00:47:28.400 --> 00:47:30.679
this sounds like a really interesting film to explore that,
928
00:47:30.679 --> 00:47:32.559
because the thing is, sometimes you get caught up that
929
00:47:32.800 --> 00:47:36.400
like America is always doing the right thing, going to war,
930
00:47:36.480 --> 00:47:39.039
doing the things that we're doing. It's not always the truth.
931
00:47:39.400 --> 00:47:42.559
Sometimes we have ulterior motives, which is, you know, the
932
00:47:42.599 --> 00:47:46.360
reality of the world is sometimes we have ulterior motives,
933
00:47:46.800 --> 00:47:50.599
and we wonder sometimes why people hate us in other countries. Well,
934
00:47:51.360 --> 00:47:54.320
seeing movies like this can open our eyes possibly and
935
00:47:54.320 --> 00:47:55.719
I haven't seen the movies, so I don't know, but
936
00:47:55.800 --> 00:47:58.440
can open our eyes up to what it's like to
937
00:47:58.440 --> 00:48:01.199
be on the other side of us. We're so used
938
00:48:01.199 --> 00:48:04.639
to being Americans that sometimes we forget what's it like
939
00:48:04.719 --> 00:48:08.559
to not be American and be in another country and
940
00:48:08.639 --> 00:48:12.519
see what we do in that country. Would we be
941
00:48:12.559 --> 00:48:15.880
happy about our country if we saw it from their perspective?
942
00:48:15.960 --> 00:48:18.800
So I think this is a very interesting thing. Tim
943
00:48:18.920 --> 00:48:21.559
Thanks for bringing it to light and bringing it to
944
00:48:21.639 --> 00:48:24.000
my attention. I will absolutely take a look at this. Well.
945
00:48:24.000 --> 00:48:25.800
Once upon a time in the Middle East. And you know,
946
00:48:25.800 --> 00:48:28.800
we've been seeing a lot of filmmakers from the Middle
947
00:48:28.800 --> 00:48:31.840
East lately coming through and putting their movies out and
948
00:48:31.880 --> 00:48:35.000
having them be nominated here in the States. So I
949
00:48:35.000 --> 00:48:36.760
think that's a great thing to open the door to
950
00:48:36.800 --> 00:48:39.800
all perspectives so we can have a more well rounded
951
00:48:39.800 --> 00:48:41.960
approach to things, you know, And so we'll see. Thank
952
00:48:42.000 --> 00:48:45.400
you very much, man, Let's see. Jimmy says, to keep
953
00:48:45.480 --> 00:48:48.840
Yah yah wonder man should leave thunderbolts too. Him and
954
00:48:48.880 --> 00:48:51.599
Trevor are fugitives. They come across something evil or a
955
00:48:51.679 --> 00:48:54.280
dangerous secret. While on the run. They enlist a team
956
00:48:54.320 --> 00:48:59.199
of Trevor's colonel Context to help save the world. It's
957
00:48:59.199 --> 00:49:02.679
a great idea. I don't think there'll be a Thunderbolts too,
958
00:49:03.039 --> 00:49:05.840
because especially because Thunderbolts one didn't make a lot of money.
959
00:49:08.440 --> 00:49:10.960
Maybe there'll be an Avengers film that comes out of
960
00:49:11.239 --> 00:49:15.320
Doomsday and Secret Wars where you could do a like
961
00:49:15.440 --> 00:49:19.039
New Avengers type of movie that would essentially be Thunderbolts too.
962
00:49:19.840 --> 00:49:22.119
And maybe yah Yah and Trevor would be a Sorry
963
00:49:22.159 --> 00:49:24.760
wonder Man Simon and Trevor would be a part of that.
964
00:49:24.760 --> 00:49:27.039
That could be interesting. But I like this idea. I mean,
965
00:49:27.320 --> 00:49:29.880
anything where we see Trevor and Simon again, I'm one
966
00:49:29.920 --> 00:49:32.320
hundredercent on board. That's one of the biggest reasons why
967
00:49:32.360 --> 00:49:34.199
I hate that it was canceled, because those two had
968
00:49:34.320 --> 00:49:37.920
wonderful chemistry. Absolutely, who would have thought that yah Ya
969
00:49:37.920 --> 00:49:41.000
abduing ma Tein and Ben Kingsley Jew Ben Kingsley would
970
00:49:41.039 --> 00:49:43.119
be put to Sir Ban Kingsley. Would we put together
971
00:49:43.199 --> 00:49:46.239
and then find that chemistry? You know, all these you
972
00:49:46.280 --> 00:49:48.639
I mean, I remember watching Gandhi in the theater back
973
00:49:48.679 --> 00:49:52.159
in the early eighties. That's how long ago Ben Kingsley
974
00:49:52.960 --> 00:49:54.960
has been in my life, you know. And yah Yah
975
00:49:55.039 --> 00:49:58.000
is a very recent edition in my mind. So to
976
00:49:58.079 --> 00:50:00.559
see the fact that they have this very easy chemistry
977
00:50:00.599 --> 00:50:03.400
and the meta stuff about acting for me personally, it
978
00:50:03.480 --> 00:50:05.159
spoke to me in a lot of ways as well.
979
00:50:05.239 --> 00:50:08.519
So yeah, we'll see registerss donating want to go. Oh,
980
00:50:08.519 --> 00:50:11.159
thank you, Reggie. I appreciate that. Man. That's very kind
981
00:50:11.159 --> 00:50:13.800
of you, dude, very kind of you. W W gratz
982
00:50:13.920 --> 00:50:16.440
is I want to start a green manager Blackest Night.
983
00:50:16.599 --> 00:50:18.639
Is the nine issue miniseries sufficient or do I need
984
00:50:18.679 --> 00:50:21.239
to read some of the side story tie in comics
985
00:50:21.239 --> 00:50:24.360
as well? No? No, the nine story thing is sufficient.
986
00:50:25.400 --> 00:50:28.480
If you have the money to afford the tie in comics, sure,
987
00:50:28.519 --> 00:50:31.320
or feel free, but you can always find those online.
988
00:50:31.719 --> 00:50:34.719
I'm not trying to take money out of comic book shops,
989
00:50:35.280 --> 00:50:38.440
but if you wanted to read comic books online, there
990
00:50:38.440 --> 00:50:41.639
are quite a few sites that post them and you
991
00:50:41.679 --> 00:50:43.360
can read them for free. You have to deal with
992
00:50:43.400 --> 00:50:46.039
the annoying ads, but you can read them for free.
993
00:50:46.119 --> 00:50:49.039
So if you buy the full nine issue miniseries and
994
00:50:49.079 --> 00:50:51.360
then read the side comics for free on those sites,
995
00:50:51.400 --> 00:50:54.400
then you know, I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing,
996
00:50:54.440 --> 00:50:59.440
because listen, we're all in economic well, I'll have economic issues,
997
00:50:59.679 --> 00:51:03.280
we'll have tough times and so if we can't afford
998
00:51:03.280 --> 00:51:06.280
to buy those extra comics to read them, to have
999
00:51:06.320 --> 00:51:10.119
a better idea of a more fleshed out enjoyment of
1000
00:51:10.119 --> 00:51:12.519
the story. I don't think is necessarily a bad thing.
1001
00:51:12.559 --> 00:51:15.320
I don't necessarily say everyone's do it, but I'm just saying,
1002
00:51:15.360 --> 00:51:19.000
if you're in a situation financially, there are options, you know, Dennis,
1003
00:51:19.039 --> 00:51:21.119
what's up, Dennis? He said, it feels like Marvel TV
1004
00:51:21.199 --> 00:51:23.960
is a different group again, like pre Disney Plus. Could
1005
00:51:23.960 --> 00:51:26.360
they get back to Agents of Shield type shows? More
1006
00:51:26.400 --> 00:51:30.000
network TV slash cheaper. I don't know that they would
1007
00:51:30.079 --> 00:51:34.480
necessarily do that. And nothing is cheaper on network anymore,
1008
00:51:34.760 --> 00:51:40.960
nothing other than reality shows. Because the cost of everything,
1009
00:51:40.960 --> 00:51:42.639
the cost of products, the cost of all this kind
1010
00:51:42.639 --> 00:51:48.280
of things. Nothing is, nothing is cheaper anymore. So I
1011
00:51:48.280 --> 00:51:50.000
don't think they'd be able to go back to cheaper
1012
00:51:50.119 --> 00:51:54.039
TV shows, to be honest with the Dennis also, network TV.
1013
00:51:54.920 --> 00:51:56.960
I mean it's it's the rare show that is only
1014
00:51:57.039 --> 00:52:00.960
like ten episodes or whatever. Most network TV like twenty episodes.
1015
00:52:00.960 --> 00:52:02.679
Remember Agents of Shield it was like twenty to twenty
1016
00:52:02.719 --> 00:52:06.199
two episodes I think a season. So that's what you
1017
00:52:06.239 --> 00:52:08.639
do with there on network TV. So it's it's a rarity.
1018
00:52:08.679 --> 00:52:12.400
So that's why streaming is easier, but because you had
1019
00:52:12.480 --> 00:52:16.920
less less episodes and more time to tell the story.
1020
00:52:18.119 --> 00:52:20.400
kJ says, Halle Berry was an A list at the
1021
00:52:20.440 --> 00:52:22.159
time of her X Men casting, but she was the
1022
00:52:22.159 --> 00:52:24.400
biggest black star in her age group at the time.
1023
00:52:24.840 --> 00:52:27.480
Angela Bassett was older. Yeah, but not much older. Bro,
1024
00:52:27.679 --> 00:52:29.840
you're still fighting this far at archie, kJ, You're still
1025
00:52:29.840 --> 00:52:32.559
fighting this fight. There's a majority of us who felt
1026
00:52:32.559 --> 00:52:36.679
like Halle wasn't the choice for Storm. Nothing against her,
1027
00:52:36.800 --> 00:52:38.480
of course, you know, she went on to become a
1028
00:52:38.519 --> 00:52:41.320
really good actress. I don't know that she was the
1029
00:52:41.320 --> 00:52:44.360
biggest black star maybe you. I don't know. I'd have
1030
00:52:44.400 --> 00:52:47.719
to take a look to see, because honestly, dude, you're
1031
00:52:47.760 --> 00:52:50.320
going back to the nineties and there wasn't a lot
1032
00:52:50.360 --> 00:52:53.880
of roles for black women period. So to say she
1033
00:52:54.000 --> 00:52:57.199
was the biggest black star, it's almost like be by
1034
00:52:57.280 --> 00:53:01.039
default because there weren't a lot of for black women
1035
00:53:01.840 --> 00:53:06.480
in that time. And let's see here, let's let's take
1036
00:53:06.519 --> 00:53:11.039
a look here. Halle Berry is sixty years old, she
1037
00:53:11.119 --> 00:53:19.239
looks amazing. Angela Bassett is sixty eight years old, so
1038
00:53:19.320 --> 00:53:22.960
she was eight years older than halle Berry was at
1039
00:53:23.000 --> 00:53:25.519
the time. And also, but I think they wanted someone
1040
00:53:25.559 --> 00:53:29.559
who was classically more attractive, and halle Berry certainly had
1041
00:53:29.559 --> 00:53:33.679
those classic looks to and I think that's why they
1042
00:53:33.880 --> 00:53:36.440
That's another element of why they cast her. I'll share
1043
00:53:36.440 --> 00:53:38.280
her talent as part of that as well, but I
1044
00:53:38.280 --> 00:53:39.719
think that was the element of it. But yeah, I
1045
00:53:39.719 --> 00:53:42.880
would have gone with Angela Bassett. It's a stronger actress
1046
00:53:43.119 --> 00:53:45.599
Danni's offense and studio streamers will never share more data
1047
00:53:45.639 --> 00:53:48.679
than they absolutely need to or guilds fight for it. Also,
1048
00:53:48.719 --> 00:53:50.320
I feel the ratings on everything would not be great
1049
00:53:50.360 --> 00:53:52.960
since viewership is so fragmented. Yeah, but I mean they
1050
00:53:53.039 --> 00:53:56.400
must be using some kind of system, And that's my point.
1051
00:53:56.559 --> 00:53:59.239
We have to we have to have access to this
1052
00:53:59.280 --> 00:54:01.239
stuff so we can have a better idea of what's
1053
00:54:01.280 --> 00:54:03.320
going on, because right now we're just at the whim
1054
00:54:03.360 --> 00:54:07.400
of these executives who tell us what they think, what
1055
00:54:07.800 --> 00:54:10.519
has got higher viewership, what didn't right? And I think
1056
00:54:10.800 --> 00:54:13.920
when it comes to black led shows, people of color
1057
00:54:14.000 --> 00:54:17.800
led shows, female led shows, LGBDQ BLUs led shows, we
1058
00:54:17.880 --> 00:54:20.679
need to see what's happened, like simply rivalry blew up. Right,
1059
00:54:20.719 --> 00:54:24.639
that was a massive hit, and so it's like, okay
1060
00:54:24.719 --> 00:54:27.119
that we clearly that one did well, had a lot
1061
00:54:27.159 --> 00:54:29.760
of ratings. But like you know, wonder Man was in
1062
00:54:29.800 --> 00:54:32.199
the pop culture zeitgeist when that came out. People were
1063
00:54:32.239 --> 00:54:36.840
talking about articles, videos like it was happening. So to me,
1064
00:54:37.000 --> 00:54:39.719
there was a lot of buzz around that show that
1065
00:54:39.880 --> 00:54:42.800
was comparable, not equal to, but comparable to Heated Rivalry.
1066
00:54:42.880 --> 00:54:45.719
So where is this numbers? Where or where are these numbers?
1067
00:54:45.760 --> 00:54:49.079
You know, Francis sir Ben is like Emily Blunt in
1068
00:54:49.119 --> 00:54:51.199
that they both have great chemistry with whoever they work with.
1069
00:54:51.280 --> 00:54:55.159
I agree, Fred, you're right, five year engagement with Jason Siegel.
1070
00:54:55.239 --> 00:54:57.719
She has great chemistry with Jason Siegel. It's pretty amazing
1071
00:54:57.840 --> 00:55:02.840
to see Emily Blunt. I say, watching the other day again,
1072
00:55:03.039 --> 00:55:10.000
I can't remember what was watching with her. I can't
1073
00:55:10.039 --> 00:55:13.599
remember what it was. Oh uh, Looper. I was watching
1074
00:55:13.760 --> 00:55:17.519
some element some scenes of Looper and her chemistry with
1075
00:55:17.599 --> 00:55:19.880
the Kid, her chemistry with Joseph Gordon Levitt. I mean,
1076
00:55:19.880 --> 00:55:23.360
it's just she's just so good. She is really an excellent,
1077
00:55:23.440 --> 00:55:26.519
excellent actress. She's so good and even in bad movies,
1078
00:55:26.559 --> 00:55:29.960
she's good John Castle, what's up John? Good to see you, brother,
1079
00:55:30.000 --> 00:55:32.119
he goes Hey, brother, I watch your thoughts of Dave
1080
00:55:32.159 --> 00:55:34.480
Fatista being announced as a new Crados in the God
1081
00:55:34.480 --> 00:55:37.079
of War TV show. Thanks for tonight's live show. Always

00:55:40.480 --> 00:55:42.760
Appreciate you, Bro. Thank you very much for a very
1084
00:55:42.840 --> 00:55:46.400
very kind super chat you and Tim sim coming through tonight.
1085
00:55:46.639 --> 00:55:48.360
I mean it means the world to me for you
1086
00:55:48.400 --> 00:55:51.199
guys to send these massive amounts, and for everybody who's
1087
00:55:51.199 --> 00:55:52.920
sending what you can, like Reggie's sending what your kid
1088
00:55:53.239 --> 00:55:55.480
means a lot as well, Bro, Like, thank you so much.
1089
00:55:56.119 --> 00:55:58.159
But you talk about this, so let's let's bring that up.
1090
00:55:58.199 --> 00:56:00.639
So let's let's cut to this. I was gonna bring
1091
00:56:00.639 --> 00:56:03.159
this up a little bit later on in the show,
1092
00:56:03.800 --> 00:56:05.840
but I think I have Hey, here we go, Here
1093
00:56:05.840 --> 00:56:09.119
we go, So let's bring this up and again, let
1094
00:56:09.119 --> 00:56:14.039
me put myself up here. Uh and let me actually
1095
00:56:14.119 --> 00:56:17.239
let me take down that graphic as well for now
1096
00:56:17.440 --> 00:56:21.320
so we can look at this. Where is it? There?
1097
00:56:21.320 --> 00:56:24.719
It is? Okay, so let's make it biggers who men's
1098
00:56:24.719 --> 00:56:29.719
two men to? Okay? Well more. D Batista officially set
1099
00:56:29.760 --> 00:56:32.320
as Kratos in God of War TV series The Dude
1100
00:56:32.360 --> 00:56:35.480
the Guards. The actually takes over the role from Ryan Hurst,
1101
00:56:35.519 --> 00:56:38.599
who was injured on set in June, although if you
1102
00:56:38.639 --> 00:56:42.480
watch Ryan's ig video, was he injured? Was he not injured?
1103
00:56:42.760 --> 00:56:45.559
De Batista is officially taking up the mantle of the
1104
00:56:45.559 --> 00:56:47.480
God of War right he has learned that the actor
1105
00:56:47.519 --> 00:56:50.440
is now set to lead the Amazon Prime Video TV
1106
00:56:50.480 --> 00:56:52.480
series based on the video game franchise in the role
1107
00:56:52.599 --> 00:56:55.400
of Kraatos. It was originally reported earlier this month that
1108
00:56:55.440 --> 00:56:57.880
Batista was in talks to play the role after Ryan Hurst,
1109
00:56:57.920 --> 00:57:00.320
who was announced as Credos in January twenty twenty six,
1110
00:57:00.960 --> 00:57:03.960
suffered a torn bicep on set that required surgery would
1111
00:57:03.960 --> 00:57:07.480
have delayed restarting production into twenty twenty seven. It was
1112
00:57:07.559 --> 00:57:10.360
out shortly thereafter that Amazon and Sony, which I was
1113
00:57:10.559 --> 00:57:14.320
co producing, we're recasting the part. They've given the show
1114
00:57:14.360 --> 00:57:17.079
a two season order, with two seasons set shoot back
1115
00:57:17.119 --> 00:57:21.239
to back. Batistas now locked in as Cratos. Production specta
1116
00:57:21.320 --> 00:57:24.440
to presume in the coming weeks. All scenes featuring Hurst
1117
00:57:24.480 --> 00:57:30.360
will now have to be reshot so. Creatos is known
1118
00:57:30.360 --> 00:57:33.280
for his incredibly muscular physique in the games and Batista
1119
00:57:33.320 --> 00:57:36.039
has been in remarkable shape throughout his career, thus he
1120
00:57:36.079 --> 00:57:38.559
does not need months of prep time to prepare for
1121
00:57:38.599 --> 00:57:41.280
the role. The series will pick up the story of
1122
00:57:41.280 --> 00:57:44.400
the most recent GOT Award games, in which Credos Kratos Cretos,
1123
00:57:44.400 --> 00:57:45.599
I don't know how you say it, must raise his
1124
00:57:45.599 --> 00:57:49.199
ten year olds on Atreus Atreus or Atrius while battling
1125
00:57:49.199 --> 00:57:52.800
gods of the Norse Pantheon Norse. I can say so, father,
1126
00:57:52.840 --> 00:57:56.440
and I hear there are they recasting Atreus Atrius as well.
1127
00:57:56.519 --> 00:57:59.760
Calum Vincent remains attached to play Critis's son a district
1128
00:57:59.800 --> 00:58:02.360
cast Matters of Glue, Max Parker, olaf Ar, Darry ol
1129
00:58:02.400 --> 00:58:04.840
Ofden Hope, I got that right. Mandy Bataken is Odin
1130
00:58:04.960 --> 00:58:07.239
of course, Oh my god, he's gonna show up the
1131
00:58:07.280 --> 00:58:10.760
scenery there Alistair Duncan, Danny Woodburn and Jeff Golca and
1132
00:58:10.960 --> 00:58:14.840
Ed scrain is Baldur. Of course, ronaldy Moore is a writer.
1133
00:58:15.280 --> 00:58:17.199
So listen, here's what I'll tell you. I think this
1134
00:58:17.280 --> 00:58:20.480
is a great thing for Batista. I'm a little concerned
1135
00:58:20.480 --> 00:58:23.119
because Dave was saying how he was like a struggling
1136
00:58:23.199 --> 00:58:26.679
with keeping the muscles on his body. And keep being
1137
00:58:26.679 --> 00:58:29.320
in a certain shape, and that was a lot for him,
1138
00:58:29.880 --> 00:58:35.639
so I would be surprised too. I think he's just
1139
00:58:35.679 --> 00:58:37.760
gonna have to put things together for himself, and I
1140
00:58:37.800 --> 00:58:40.039
think he's gonna have to work hard to get into
1141
00:58:40.039 --> 00:58:41.639
that shape. And I don't know if he can get
1142
00:58:41.639 --> 00:58:46.000
into that shape. So we'll see. Uh yeah, different so
1143
00:58:46.079 --> 00:58:48.119
different son for the actor of sexties because of the
1144
00:58:48.159 --> 00:58:50.880
time job. Okay, okay, because i'd heard he'd been recast,
1145
00:58:50.960 --> 00:58:53.599
so yeah. So to me, when I look at this thing,
1146
00:58:53.639 --> 00:58:55.679
I think it's a great move from Batista, but I
1147
00:58:55.719 --> 00:58:58.400
think it's gonna you know, like getting older is hard
1148
00:58:58.440 --> 00:59:01.480
to maintain that shape. Hugh Jackman talks about all the
1149
00:59:01.519 --> 00:59:05.440
time to getting Wolverine shape is harder and harder every time,
1150
00:59:05.840 --> 00:59:10.440
and he has to start prepping earlier and earlier in
1151
00:59:10.559 --> 00:59:14.079
the timeframe to be ready to shoot. So Dave must
1152
00:59:14.119 --> 00:59:17.760
be in some good shape, but he's gonna have to
1153
00:59:17.760 --> 00:59:19.840
put on a little more muscle. Wauch he's seen him recently,
1154
00:59:19.880 --> 00:59:22.480
he's like really trimmed down, Like him and the Rock
1155
00:59:22.559 --> 00:59:24.119
have really kind of trimmed down. I don't know if
1156
00:59:24.119 --> 00:59:27.239
they're on the ozampic or they're doing the you know,
1157
00:59:28.360 --> 00:59:31.880
calorie deficit diet or whatever like. But they've dropped pounds,
1158
00:59:31.880 --> 00:59:34.400
so putting that muscle back on is not going to
1159
00:59:34.480 --> 00:59:38.000
be easy. So we will see what Yeah, it wasn't
1160
00:59:38.000 --> 00:59:40.639
he in shape or yeah, but Highlander. I think Highlander
1161
00:59:40.679 --> 00:59:43.920
has stopped shooting, so I don't know how that works,
1162
00:59:44.000 --> 00:59:46.599
you know where he's at. So clearly they're paying him
1163
00:59:46.679 --> 00:59:50.639
enough to put the muscle back on in a bigger size,
1164
00:59:51.199 --> 00:59:53.039
because he has said this recently that it was harder,
1165
00:59:53.280 --> 00:59:54.920
it was getting harder and harder for him to be
1166
00:59:55.079 --> 00:59:57.880
in dract shape and so he was very happy when
1167
00:59:57.920 --> 00:59:59.760
he walked away from the role because it took a
1168
00:59:59.760 --> 01:00:02.159
lot of out of him to stay in that shape
1169
01:00:02.199 --> 01:00:05.039
with a shirt off, you know. So and remember he's
1170
01:00:05.039 --> 01:00:07.639
been doing that for a long time since the WWE days,
1171
01:00:07.960 --> 01:00:09.760
so you know he's been doing it for a bit.
1172
01:00:10.039 --> 01:00:14.079
So yes, I love it, John. I think it's amazing
1173
01:00:14.079 --> 01:00:15.119
that he's going to be a part of it. And
1174
01:00:15.159 --> 01:00:17.559
I hope now I'm going to see it. I wasn't
1175
01:00:17.559 --> 01:00:19.519
going to see it before, you know, I'm not sure
1176
01:00:19.559 --> 01:00:21.320
if I'm on hundredercent on board, but now I am
1177
01:00:21.400 --> 01:00:22.679
going to see it because I love Dave, and I
1178
01:00:22.679 --> 01:00:25.599
always support Dave. Paul says, I always support but rarely
1179
01:00:25.639 --> 01:00:29.599
agree with you. That's the fun of it. Thank you, Paul.
1180
01:00:30.119 --> 01:00:32.559
Now I know there are people who hate watch my stuff.
1181
01:00:32.599 --> 01:00:35.639
Now there are people who legitimately hate watch my stuff
1182
01:00:35.679 --> 01:00:37.599
and they clip stuff out. I get people who said,
1183
01:00:37.679 --> 01:00:39.920
I listen, I don't watch anybody else's content because I'm
1184
01:00:40.360 --> 01:00:42.719
so busy working on my own shit and watching stuff
1185
01:00:42.800 --> 01:00:45.000
or hanging out with my lady outlaw and living a life,
1186
01:00:45.320 --> 01:00:47.719
so I don't I really get to see anybody else's stuff.
1187
01:00:47.880 --> 01:00:49.519
So but I hear from people all the time that
1188
01:00:49.559 --> 01:00:52.159
they clip out some of my stuff or get upset
1189
01:00:52.199 --> 01:00:55.679
about it and post about it and say, okay, sure, fine, whatever.
1190
01:00:55.760 --> 01:00:57.559
But I know there are people who actually watch or
1191
01:00:57.599 --> 01:01:00.239
hate watch my stuff, or watch to disagree with me
1192
01:01:00.320 --> 01:01:03.719
so they can throw things at the at the radio
1193
01:01:03.840 --> 01:01:05.920
or at the TV, which has been from the beginning.
1194
01:01:06.039 --> 01:01:08.559
Like in Top ten, people all the time used to
1195
01:01:08.599 --> 01:01:10.840
tell us that the reason they enjoyed watching the show
1196
01:01:10.880 --> 01:01:13.199
the most was because or listening to the show, so
1197
01:01:13.199 --> 01:01:17.719
they could yell at us in their cars when they're
1198
01:01:17.800 --> 01:01:21.119
driving listening to us or on their iPad or on
1199
01:01:21.159 --> 01:01:25.800
their however, they're listening to us taking a walk with
1200
01:01:25.840 --> 01:01:28.159
their dogs, or hiking or even working out. And one
1201
01:01:28.199 --> 01:01:29.840
guy used to listen to us on the Top ten
1202
01:01:30.400 --> 01:01:33.360
in his bathroom and he would splash around in the bath.
1203
01:01:34.320 --> 01:01:36.280
He would sit and take two hour baths and listen
1204
01:01:36.280 --> 01:01:38.239
to our show and splash around and anger at some
1205
01:01:38.239 --> 01:01:41.559
of the things we said. So, yeah, Cartoon Forces, what
1206
01:01:41.599 --> 01:01:44.719
films do you think will be the big surprise this fall?
1207
01:01:45.960 --> 01:01:48.559
All right, let's take a look real quick. I know
1208
01:01:48.559 --> 01:01:50.440
we got to get back to the paramount w B
1209
01:01:50.559 --> 01:01:52.159
thing that's we're going to talk about. Oh, actually, we've
1210
01:01:52.159 --> 01:01:53.480
got one more marvel thing and then we'll get to
1211
01:01:53.519 --> 01:01:56.119
the paramount w B thing. I think Whale Fall is
1212
01:01:56.119 --> 01:01:58.280
gonna do well. You just got to see that latest trailer. Goodness,
1213
01:01:58.320 --> 01:02:01.400
gracious man. I think that film is gonna surprise a
1214
01:02:01.400 --> 01:02:04.480
lot of people and do really well. I think The
1215
01:02:04.559 --> 01:02:07.280
Uprising is gonna bomb. I think the I think Resident
1216
01:02:07.320 --> 01:02:10.119
Evil is gonna do really well as well. I think
1217
01:02:10.159 --> 01:02:15.639
Primetime is gonna be phenomenal. Let's see anything else that
1218
01:02:15.760 --> 01:02:19.000
might so. I think Verity is not gonna be good,
1219
01:02:19.239 --> 01:02:21.280
but I think it's gonna be divisive. Digger is gonna
1220
01:02:21.320 --> 01:02:25.280
be divisive. They're starting to show some screenings of Digger
1221
01:02:25.320 --> 01:02:28.400
now for certain critics. I don't live in la Or Also,
1222
01:02:28.400 --> 01:02:31.719
I'll be knocking on that door. I think the Social
1223
01:02:31.800 --> 01:02:34.599
Reckoning might bomb. To be honest with you, I'm a
1224
01:02:34.639 --> 01:02:39.639
little nervous about that movie because A it's not fitcher B.
1225
01:02:40.280 --> 01:02:44.320
I also feel like people hate Zuckerberg and they don't
1226
01:02:44.320 --> 01:02:47.679
want to watch a film that's gonna, like maybe redeem
1227
01:02:47.760 --> 01:02:49.760
him in some way or show his point of view.
1228
01:02:50.840 --> 01:02:52.679
And I don't know that Jeremy Allen White is a
1229
01:02:52.719 --> 01:02:54.840
movie star, to be honest with you, I think he
1230
01:02:54.960 --> 01:03:00.719
might be tumbling back down to TV. We'll see. And
1231
01:03:01.199 --> 01:03:04.559
what's her face, Mikey Madison. I mean, remember she was
1232
01:03:04.559 --> 01:03:08.400
TV then had this Anora film. But it doesn't necessarily
1233
01:03:08.440 --> 01:03:10.400
mean the Mikey's meant for film to get people in
1234
01:03:10.480 --> 01:03:13.280
the doors as well, So we'll see on that level
1235
01:03:15.920 --> 01:03:19.239
anything else. Cliffs should do well. Wildwood I think have
1236
01:03:19.280 --> 01:03:22.599
you seen that new trailer? Wildwood looks just jaw dropping,
1237
01:03:22.719 --> 01:03:25.840
lee gorgeous. I think that could be a really surprise,
1238
01:03:25.920 --> 01:03:28.840
a big surprise. Clara and the Sun is probably gonna
1239
01:03:28.880 --> 01:03:30.960
tank like crazy. I don't think people have the taste
1240
01:03:31.000 --> 01:03:36.000
for take Taikowa TD anymore. The Cat and the Hat
1241
01:03:36.079 --> 01:03:39.280
might surprise. I think that might surprise. Godzilla Mine Zero
1242
01:03:39.440 --> 01:03:42.320
I think will do way better than the first Godzilla
1243
01:03:42.360 --> 01:03:47.199
film did, and I play Rocky. I think it's going
1244
01:03:47.239 --> 01:03:49.239
to be a massive hit. I do. I don't think
1245
01:03:49.280 --> 01:03:50.840
it's gonna be like five hundred million, but I think
1246
01:03:50.840 --> 01:03:53.559
it's going to be a massive eight compared to its
1247
01:03:53.599 --> 01:03:57.400
production budget. And don't be surprised if The Adventures of
1248
01:03:57.440 --> 01:04:01.079
Cliff Booth isn't as good as you think it's going
1249
01:04:01.159 --> 01:04:03.920
to be. Don't be surprised if it doesn't quite live
1250
01:04:04.000 --> 01:04:06.559
up to the first one. So that's what I'll say
1251
01:04:06.559 --> 01:04:08.480
to you. So that's my answer to your question. They're
1252
01:04:08.519 --> 01:04:12.000
cartoon Wayne, Thank you Wayne, Happy Thursday. John, You rock
1253
01:04:12.360 --> 01:04:14.760
you rock Wayne. I always love hearing from you. Bro.
1254
01:04:15.320 --> 01:04:18.159
I'm not a huge Marvel fan, but I loved wonder Man.
1255
01:04:18.239 --> 01:04:20.840
I'm not into conspiracies, but the fact that Wonderman and
1256
01:04:20.840 --> 01:04:24.280
Blader are canceled and Ryan Goson's Ghostwriter is greenlit quickly
1257
01:04:24.519 --> 01:04:27.920
is suspicious. Not to be fair, wonder Man was a
1258
01:04:27.960 --> 01:04:30.280
TV show, so comparing it to Ghostwriter seems a bit
1259
01:04:30.320 --> 01:04:33.039
weird Blade. I agree with you. Blade is a little
1260
01:04:34.360 --> 01:04:37.760
suspicious what went on there, But I think what happened
1261
01:04:37.800 --> 01:04:40.159
here and they're not gonna say it out loud. Maybe
1262
01:04:40.239 --> 01:04:42.800
years later, maybe there'll be a second version of that
1263
01:04:43.000 --> 01:04:47.079
MCU book that's down there. But I think Disney got
1264
01:04:47.119 --> 01:04:49.480
cold feet. I've said this before in other shows. I
1265
01:04:49.519 --> 01:04:52.400
think Yahya abdul Mateen wanted to do a period piece
1266
01:04:52.559 --> 01:04:56.800
about what it's like to be a black superhero, highlighting slavery,
1267
01:04:56.960 --> 01:05:01.400
highlighting racism, the Ku Klux Klan, and I think Disney
1268
01:05:01.440 --> 01:05:06.280
initially was on board because they were like, yes, diversity inclusion,
1269
01:05:07.199 --> 01:05:10.159
black lives matter, I'm on board, and then the political
1270
01:05:10.239 --> 01:05:13.400
climate changed as they were trying to put it together.
1271
01:05:13.440 --> 01:05:16.760
I think they got cold feet. I mean just looking
1272
01:05:16.800 --> 01:05:20.440
at Captain America four, which they almost turned it around
1273
01:05:20.519 --> 01:05:23.159
and made it about the red skinned character instead of
1274
01:05:23.159 --> 01:05:25.239
the black skinned character, if you know what I mean
1275
01:05:25.239 --> 01:05:27.599
with red olk, And look at how they fumbled the
1276
01:05:27.599 --> 01:05:30.000
Falcon and Winter Soldier, which really I think wasn't that
1277
01:05:30.039 --> 01:05:33.280
great of a series when it presented some really interesting
1278
01:05:33.320 --> 01:05:36.360
things they could have explored. Imagine if they had done
1279
01:05:36.639 --> 01:05:39.199
an and or version of Falcon and Winter soldier, we'd
1280
01:05:39.280 --> 01:05:42.880
still be talking about how amazing that show is, you know.
1281
01:05:42.920 --> 01:05:45.840
And I think that's what's so good about Lanterns. They're
1282
01:05:45.840 --> 01:05:49.679
not shying away from the subtext of a black man
1283
01:05:49.760 --> 01:05:52.480
learning from a white man and what you have to
1284
01:05:52.559 --> 01:05:54.559
do as a black man or to be accepted in
1285
01:05:54.599 --> 01:05:57.000
the white world, you know, those kinds of things. And
1286
01:05:57.039 --> 01:05:59.800
so I liked it there. And then the idea of immigration,
1287
01:06:00.079 --> 01:06:03.480
idea of people born on Earth versus aliens, you know what,
1288
01:06:03.559 --> 01:06:07.320
that's what that is supposed to symbolize, like the gutsiness
1289
01:06:07.320 --> 01:06:09.639
of that, you know, and I appreciate that. But Marvel
1290
01:06:09.679 --> 01:06:12.920
doesn't have those guts. Marvel, I think sometimes are a
1291
01:06:12.920 --> 01:06:16.280
bunch of woosies when it comes to social commentary. They
1292
01:06:16.280 --> 01:06:19.800
don't stand behind their shit the way they should, you know,
1293
01:06:19.920 --> 01:06:22.920
they mealy mouth it. They just dip their toe in it,
1294
01:06:23.360 --> 01:06:25.840
like we're doing the it's that white liberal shit. That's
1295
01:06:25.880 --> 01:06:29.039
like I'm gonna I'm gonna show you how great I
1296
01:06:29.079 --> 01:06:32.360
am and how progressive I am. But what about these
1297
01:06:32.400 --> 01:06:36.920
extra levels? No, no, no, no, that's not I'm uncomfortable. I'm uncomfortable.
1298
01:06:37.360 --> 01:06:40.679
You're going too far. That's what Disney like. Whereas I
1299
01:06:40.760 --> 01:06:44.760
appreciate that DC goes knee deep in it, like fucking
1300
01:06:44.880 --> 01:06:48.360
the penguin, right, and now Lantert's like, I love that.
1301
01:06:49.039 --> 01:06:54.119
Let's get that kind of stuff for these Disney shows.
1302
01:06:54.119 --> 01:06:56.079
Not every show, but maybe if you got a black lead,
1303
01:06:56.159 --> 01:06:58.159
let's go. That's why wonder Man was great. You saw
1304
01:06:58.199 --> 01:07:00.920
a black family, you saw what he is navigating. But
1305
01:07:01.039 --> 01:07:04.199
it was still a universal story about wanting to get
1306
01:07:04.239 --> 01:07:06.400
the thing that you want to get and blowing it
1307
01:07:06.440 --> 01:07:08.840
at the last minute because of your own stuff, you know,
1308
01:07:08.960 --> 01:07:12.480
And so I think it's important. But the Ghostwriter thing, yeah,
1309
01:07:12.599 --> 01:07:14.559
that's safe. That's why they green lit it. But look
1310
01:07:14.599 --> 01:07:16.800
look what they're doing it Sean Levy and Ryan Gossling.
1311
01:07:16.840 --> 01:07:20.280
It's gonna be equip fest the whole time. It's not
1312
01:07:20.280 --> 01:07:23.079
gonna be like the Ghostwriter. People really want to see.
1313
01:07:23.679 --> 01:07:25.960
So that's why they green lit it. It's safe and
1314
01:07:26.000 --> 01:07:28.519
it's white, and they green lit it. People are gonna
1315
01:07:28.559 --> 01:07:30.079
love it, and it's gonna make a lot of money,
1316
01:07:30.079 --> 01:07:32.639
and there's nothing wrong with that. There's literally nothing wrong
1317
01:07:32.679 --> 01:07:35.360
with that. But when you compare it to what they
1318
01:07:35.400 --> 01:07:38.400
could have created and Blade if you had a gutsier,
1319
01:07:39.039 --> 01:07:43.000
a gutsier approach, by a company. I think it would
1320
01:07:43.039 --> 01:07:46.679
have been fascinating to see what they created. So Dennis says,
1321
01:07:46.920 --> 01:07:49.039
to the person who asked about Blackest Night, I definitely
1322
01:07:49.119 --> 01:07:52.719
recommend reading the whole. Jeff John's run, Rebirth, Sinestra, War,
1323
01:07:52.800 --> 01:07:57.679
Seekret Origin are all amazing. Try DC Infinite. Yeah, Dennis
1324
01:07:57.719 --> 01:08:01.199
is not wrong. I have Rebirth, have big oversized one
1325
01:08:01.599 --> 01:08:03.440
which I read every once in while I think is great.
1326
01:08:03.480 --> 01:08:06.400
So yeah, absolutely those are ones to read, for sure.
1327
01:08:06.440 --> 01:08:08.840
So take a look at those. But don't feel pressure
1328
01:08:08.920 --> 01:08:10.679
like you can't start black as Night because you'll have
1329
01:08:10.719 --> 01:08:13.159
to do those. Just start black as Night and then
1330
01:08:13.400 --> 01:08:14.800
you know, work your way back to the other one.
1331
01:08:14.800 --> 01:08:17.760
It's good suggestions, Dennis, Thank you. John Lawless is just
1332
01:08:17.760 --> 01:08:19.920
saying hello, always like your content, even though I don't
1333
01:08:19.920 --> 01:08:23.560
always agree. Another one, another one, thank you, Thank you. Well,
1334
01:08:23.560 --> 01:08:25.600
why would you want to watch someone who just agrees
1335
01:08:25.640 --> 01:08:26.920
with you all the time. You might as well just
1336
01:08:26.960 --> 01:08:30.119
talk to yourself. So I like to challenge you. And
1337
01:08:30.159 --> 01:08:32.760
maybe I'm not always right, but I like to push
1338
01:08:32.840 --> 01:08:36.119
and challenge and explore and poke and broad and ask questions.
1339
01:08:36.279 --> 01:08:39.520
You know, I enjoy that, John says, Eagles starting back up,
1340
01:08:39.600 --> 01:08:42.199
cry Eagles cry onward to defeat. This is the chant
1341
01:08:42.239 --> 01:08:45.840
I dare say to my fanatical wife. Now, yeah, let's
1342
01:08:45.840 --> 01:08:47.920
see a whole new system they got to put in
1343
01:08:47.920 --> 01:08:52.199
place there for the Eagles for sure. All right, thank you,
1344
01:08:52.239 --> 01:08:55.760
thank you, John, appreciate you, brouh and let's see let's
1345
01:08:55.800 --> 01:08:59.399
hit to where is it the super chat stream labs here?
1346
01:09:00.119 --> 01:09:04.119
Real quick? Fred? Hey, truth or thanks for doing this
1347
01:09:04.199 --> 01:09:06.640
impromptu live stream. I know box office doesn't determine whether
1348
01:09:06.640 --> 01:09:08.319
the movie is good or not, certainly doesn't. But it's
1349
01:09:08.319 --> 01:09:10.279
hard for me to take someone serious when they're telling
1350
01:09:10.279 --> 01:09:12.680
me a movie isn't good when I know it's crossed
1351
01:09:12.680 --> 01:09:16.840
a billion dollars. Now does that include the Transformers movies? Fred?
1352
01:09:16.960 --> 01:09:20.279
I mean two of them crossed a billion dollars? So
1353
01:09:21.439 --> 01:09:24.119
are they good? Is a movie good if it cross
1354
01:09:24.159 --> 01:09:26.800
a billion dollars? Because there are quite a few Jurassic
1355
01:09:26.880 --> 01:09:29.199
World movies or Jurassic Part movies across a billion dollars?
1356
01:09:29.239 --> 01:09:30.720
I think two three of them that I am not.
1357
01:09:31.000 --> 01:09:35.399
I think those are terrible movies. So I think I
1358
01:09:35.399 --> 01:09:37.439
think you can still say a billion dollar movie is
1359
01:09:37.479 --> 01:09:40.039
not good. It doesn't mean you don't have to reckon
1360
01:09:40.079 --> 01:09:41.680
with it because someone was telling me that. The other day.
1361
01:09:41.680 --> 01:09:45.600
They were saying that Spider Man Brand New Day is
1362
01:09:45.640 --> 01:09:47.359
not a good movie. It doesn't matter if it made
1363
01:09:47.399 --> 01:09:49.319
two billion dollars. But I think if a movie makes
1364
01:09:50.399 --> 01:09:52.640
I think if a movie makes two to three million dollars,
1365
01:09:52.680 --> 01:09:55.760
three billion dollars, you kind of have to say that
1366
01:09:56.680 --> 01:09:59.359
it is good because a majority of people went back
1367
01:09:59.359 --> 01:10:01.560
to see it over, no and over again because they
1368
01:10:01.640 --> 01:10:04.520
enjoyed it. So Bred also says, also, there's been only
1369
01:10:04.560 --> 01:10:06.520
like sixty plus movies that have hit that mark, so
1370
01:10:06.560 --> 01:10:08.960
it's a great accomplishment when it happens. That's why I
1371
01:10:09.000 --> 01:10:11.560
say that movie wasn't for me if I don't like it,
1372
01:10:11.560 --> 01:10:14.199
instead of it wasn't good. I hope we get more
1373
01:10:14.239 --> 01:10:17.079
before Doomsday and Doom three. No, we're not going to
1374
01:10:17.119 --> 01:10:21.439
get another billion dollar film until Doomsday and Doom three.
1375
01:10:21.479 --> 01:10:22.800
I think both of them are going to make a
1376
01:10:22.840 --> 01:10:25.520
billion dollars, as I've said before, because I think both
1377
01:10:25.520 --> 01:10:27.479
of them are going to be good. So yeah, I
1378
01:10:27.479 --> 01:10:29.159
don't think anything else is going to make a billion.
1379
01:10:29.840 --> 01:10:31.720
Bred also says, also, there's only been like oh yeah,
1380
01:10:31.720 --> 01:10:33.920
he already said that again. Thank you, Fred, I appreciate you, bro.
1381
01:10:34.079 --> 01:10:36.279
And then Paul Hitchcock. Sure, it's been asked and answered
1382
01:10:36.279 --> 01:10:39.239
by you multiple times, but I missed it. How Jordan
1383
01:10:39.319 --> 01:10:42.000
dead or alive? Given the show owners and some plants
1384
01:10:42.000 --> 01:10:43.720
in the episode one, I think it's a red herring.
1385
01:10:43.720 --> 01:10:45.880
And how pops back up at the end, well, I
1386
01:10:45.920 --> 01:10:50.920
mean we saw the coming soon trailer for the rest
1387
01:10:50.960 --> 01:10:54.840
of the episodes. How's all over that shit? So is
1388
01:10:54.880 --> 01:10:56.880
he going to be alive by the end of the show.
1389
01:10:57.279 --> 01:10:59.000
I do think he's going to be alive, but I
1390
01:10:59.039 --> 01:11:01.039
don't think he's going to be Jordan, and I don't
1391
01:11:01.079 --> 01:11:03.840
think he's going to be Green Lantern. I think the
1392
01:11:03.960 --> 01:11:06.640
fact that Aaron Pierre is appearing in Mana Tomorrow that's
1393
01:11:06.680 --> 01:11:11.000
their Green Lantern. That's who James Gunn wants to go with.
1394
01:11:11.119 --> 01:11:13.800
So it's not going to be how joining up with
1395
01:11:13.880 --> 01:11:15.640
Superman to be part of the Justice League. That is
1396
01:11:15.680 --> 01:11:18.640
not going to happen, And anyone thinking that's going to happen,
1397
01:11:18.640 --> 01:11:22.239
you're setting yourself up for disappointment. It's very clear that's
1398
01:11:22.279 --> 01:11:25.399
why he's in Mana Tomorrow because that's where James Gunn
1399
01:11:25.399 --> 01:11:28.239
wants to go. As far, I've got to get some
1400
01:11:28.279 --> 01:11:31.119
more fan on me as far as I think hal
1401
01:11:31.159 --> 01:11:34.359
Jordan becomes Specter or becomes Parallax. I think that's what
1402
01:11:35.720 --> 01:11:38.119
you see by the end of the show, or at
1403
01:11:38.119 --> 01:11:40.479
some point during the show, maybe even so. I think
1404
01:11:40.479 --> 01:11:43.560
that's what you see there. And so his consciousness has
1405
01:11:43.640 --> 01:11:47.479
left his body because it is in the form of
1406
01:11:47.520 --> 01:11:50.680
something else, the entity of something else. I think Specter
1407
01:11:50.880 --> 01:11:54.680
is very possible, which would be super fucking out there,
1408
01:11:54.720 --> 01:11:57.439
to be honest with you, But yes, I think that's
1409
01:11:57.479 --> 01:11:59.159
I think it's red herring. I don't think he's dead.
1410
01:11:59.520 --> 01:12:02.640
I don't think that's my honest opinion. John Lawlas thought
1411
01:12:02.680 --> 01:12:04.479
I was not going to like Lanterns because of the trailers,
1412
01:12:04.479 --> 01:12:06.520
but holy fuck, can't wait till next week? I agree.
1413
01:12:06.640 --> 01:12:08.920
I agree, And I've been sitting with it for so
1414
01:12:09.000 --> 01:12:11.359
long this week that today I decide I'm going to
1415
01:12:11.479 --> 01:12:13.600
I decided that I'm going to email Warner Brothers and
1416
01:12:13.640 --> 01:12:16.840
ask them if they'll send me the next three episodes.
1417
01:12:16.880 --> 01:12:19.319
And remember I am going live on Sunday nights right
1418
01:12:19.359 --> 01:12:23.279
after the show is done to watch it. So just
1419
01:12:23.359 --> 01:12:25.279
letting you guys know, I will be going live on
1420
01:12:25.319 --> 01:12:28.560
my channel probably around seven thirty that's about when I
1421
01:12:28.600 --> 01:12:32.000
go live. Last week to talk about it. Maybe eight
1422
01:12:32.000 --> 01:12:33.960
o'clock if I need to research some more stuff, but
1423
01:12:34.000 --> 01:12:36.640
probably seven thirty go live for like an hour hour
1424
01:12:36.640 --> 01:12:38.800
and a half to talk about the show with you guys.
1425
01:12:38.840 --> 01:12:42.039
So all right, is that enough I think we've got?
1426
01:12:42.479 --> 01:12:45.359
Is that everybody that we've got? Oh? Sorry, uh sec
1427
01:12:45.520 --> 01:12:48.159
black no more me MCU Disney Plus shows focus on movies,
1428
01:12:48.199 --> 01:12:51.560
Well that's not going to happen clearly, as Puck reported,
1429
01:12:51.600 --> 01:12:54.000
they are working on some Disney Plus shows, but not
1430
01:12:54.279 --> 01:12:58.399
what we've had before, probably more limited series type approach.
1431
01:12:59.119 --> 01:13:01.359
kJ regarding Halle, I also felt that Angela was the
1432
01:13:01.399 --> 01:13:03.600
stronger actress, and then Halle was the biggest star out
1433
01:13:03.640 --> 01:13:07.039
of Default in the nineties. Great point, Roka, Yes, absolutely absolutely,
1434
01:13:07.039 --> 01:13:09.319
thank you, ok Ji. I'm glad we could find google
1435
01:13:09.319 --> 01:13:11.840
find some common ground on that for sure. All right,
1436
01:13:11.880 --> 01:13:14.159
let's move to one last thing with Marvel and then
1437
01:13:14.159 --> 01:13:18.399
we'll get into the paramount WB stuff whereas it So
1438
01:13:18.520 --> 01:13:22.000
this is very interesting for those of you we know
1439
01:13:22.079 --> 01:13:24.560
doomsday is on the way right, Oh no, wait, that's
1440
01:13:24.560 --> 01:13:26.520
the wrong one. Sor right, let's let's get out of
1441
01:13:26.560 --> 01:13:30.279
that one. Where is the one that I had I
1442
01:13:30.359 --> 01:13:34.119
was going to look at here not everything's in order, y'all.
1443
01:13:34.199 --> 01:13:36.760
Sometimes it's a situation where I've got to remember where
1444
01:13:36.760 --> 01:13:45.439
I put it. Where is it all right? Give me
1445
01:13:45.479 --> 01:13:48.760
a second. I don't know why I don't have it up.
1446
01:13:48.760 --> 01:13:50.840
Give me a second. I'm gonna pull it up here
1447
01:13:51.760 --> 01:13:54.960
because I have it in my notes, and then I'm
1448
01:13:54.960 --> 01:13:58.000
gonna move it over into the Google Home. That's what
1449
01:13:58.000 --> 01:13:59.920
happens when you're the only one running your stuff. You'll
1450
01:14:00.000 --> 01:14:03.560
thank you for the patients. I promise it will be momentary. Okay,
1451
01:14:03.560 --> 01:14:07.760
here we go. So we have Doomsday coming up. You
1452
01:14:07.840 --> 01:14:10.840
all know this. I know this, and it's gonna be
1453
01:14:10.880 --> 01:14:13.119
here before we know it. I mean literally, it's just
1454
01:14:13.199 --> 01:14:20.760
four months away, right, So Marvel issued a watch list
1455
01:14:21.800 --> 01:14:25.880
that you need to watch to get ready for Doomsday,
1456
01:14:26.119 --> 01:14:29.079
and this has caused a lot of fingers to hit
1457
01:14:29.119 --> 01:14:32.359
their keyboards and a lot of tongues to start wagging.
1458
01:14:36.039 --> 01:14:38.920
And they had. The Disney Plus was recently updated with
1459
01:14:38.960 --> 01:14:46.560
a section titled Countdown to Avengers Doomsday, which includes includes
1460
01:14:48.640 --> 01:14:50.720
every film and series that will be relevant to the
1461
01:14:50.800 --> 01:14:54.720
upcoming culmination of the Multiverse saga. This was an excellent
1462
01:14:54.760 --> 01:14:56.600
d especially for those who have not kept up with
1463
01:14:56.640 --> 01:14:59.520
the past few years of Marvel content. However, the specific
1464
01:14:59.600 --> 01:15:03.680
choices this watch list reveal a weakness of the modern MCU.
1465
01:15:03.800 --> 01:15:06.600
Here is the list? I think they have the list.
1466
01:15:06.600 --> 01:15:09.319
Where's the list? Uh? Don't they have the list? Where
1467
01:15:09.399 --> 01:15:10.920
is the list? Oh? Wow? Did they not put the
1468
01:15:10.920 --> 01:15:14.640
list in the article? That doesn't make sense? Uh? Where
1469
01:15:14.680 --> 01:15:17.960
is it? Oh? That's really odd. Okay, I thought they'd Okay, okay, okay,
1470
01:15:17.960 --> 01:15:23.159
here it is, so wait here are missing from this list?
1471
01:15:23.359 --> 01:15:27.640
All right? Phases four through six Black Widow is missing?
1472
01:15:27.840 --> 01:15:29.680
Why would you do that? That's the introduction of your
1473
01:15:29.720 --> 01:15:31.600
late of Belova. I'm not sure why you would keep
1474
01:15:31.640 --> 01:15:34.600
that out. The Eternals is missing. That makes sense, so
1475
01:15:34.640 --> 01:15:37.199
clearly they're not going to touch on anything Eternals thor
1476
01:15:37.319 --> 01:15:39.960
Love and Thunder is really curious. Why wouldn't that be
1477
01:15:41.039 --> 01:15:44.119
in the list? Because his daughter is in the trailer?
1478
01:15:44.680 --> 01:15:47.439
So yes, Love and Thunder not a great film, but
1479
01:15:47.840 --> 01:15:50.479
you're introducing the character, so I don't know why you
1480
01:15:50.520 --> 01:15:54.600
wouldn't put that in there. Ant Man of the Wasp Quantumnia,
1481
01:15:54.840 --> 01:15:57.039
that's understandable because you were going to go to Kang.
1482
01:15:57.520 --> 01:16:00.840
You're not going to Kang anymore. Guardians of the Galaxy
1483
01:16:00.920 --> 01:16:03.760
Volume three. That was pretty much an insular thing. Although
1484
01:16:03.760 --> 01:16:05.159
I do have a feeling we're going to see some
1485
01:16:05.199 --> 01:16:08.640
of the Guardians at some point in Doomsday. I just
1486
01:16:08.880 --> 01:16:10.840
have or a secret Wars. I just have a feeling.
1487
01:16:11.600 --> 01:16:15.239
The Marvels is the curious one because that end scene
1488
01:16:15.439 --> 01:16:21.840
with Monica Rambau and Beast and uh Maria Rambau, who's
1489
01:16:21.880 --> 01:16:26.680
alive in that universe, that seems to be literally a
1490
01:16:26.720 --> 01:16:32.159
connection to Doomsday. So it's really odd that they did
1491
01:16:32.239 --> 01:16:34.560
not include that. And look, I get it, the movie's
1492
01:16:34.600 --> 01:16:36.000
not great. A lot of people don't. Maybe they don't
1493
01:16:36.039 --> 01:16:38.119
want people to watch bad movies and put a bad
1494
01:16:38.159 --> 01:16:40.159
taste in their mouths. And look, a majority of these
1495
01:16:40.199 --> 01:16:43.800
are not like Eternals, Love and Thunder, Quantumania, the Marvels,
1496
01:16:43.840 --> 01:16:46.640
these are considered not good films from a lot of people,
1497
01:16:46.680 --> 01:16:49.680
although there are defenders of each of those films, but
1498
01:16:49.840 --> 01:16:52.439
I understand that. But like leaving out the Marvels that
1499
01:16:52.479 --> 01:16:55.439
final thing, like, I think that's a massive mistake. And
1500
01:16:55.479 --> 01:16:59.399
then all the TV shows except Loki were excluded, as
1501
01:16:59.439 --> 01:17:02.720
were the three special presentation, So that's about two thirds
1502
01:17:02.760 --> 01:17:08.159
of the multiverse saga that will apparently be irrelevant to Doomsday,
1503
01:17:08.600 --> 01:17:12.880
you know, and and who's writing this, uh sterling Ulrich.
1504
01:17:12.960 --> 01:17:19.800
The summer sales event with the forward crew watch looks
1505
01:17:19.800 --> 01:17:22.960
like America to start this so we can move past
1506
01:17:23.399 --> 01:17:26.479
Jesus Christ as as as a few of these absences
1507
01:17:26.479 --> 01:17:29.079
are completely understandable. Quantum Mania, for example, was building towards
1508
01:17:29.079 --> 01:17:30.760
the scrap k and the Conqueror Store like she Hope
1509
01:17:30.760 --> 01:17:32.800
Attorney a law basically meant to be a fun sitcom,
1510
01:17:33.560 --> 01:17:35.960
but other projects are missing. Oh, the trailers have made
1511
01:17:35.960 --> 01:17:38.600
clear that Thorn's daughter right exactly, That's what I said.
1512
01:17:38.640 --> 01:17:41.760
It also includes several films from before the Multiverse saga,
1513
01:17:41.840 --> 01:17:44.520
such as Captain America First Adventure, every Avengers film except
1514
01:17:44.560 --> 01:17:48.600
Avenger's Age of Ultron. That is unsurprised. Unsurprising because Doomsday
1515
01:17:48.600 --> 01:17:51.479
has been described as a direct sequel Avengers Endgame. Yet
1516
01:17:51.520 --> 01:17:53.560
it further contributes to the sense that very little after
1517
01:17:53.640 --> 01:17:55.960
Endgame has actually mattered to the over arching story of
1518
01:17:55.960 --> 01:17:58.960
the MCU. It is possible that Disney has left out
1519
01:17:58.960 --> 01:18:01.600
a few relevant projects to avoid Doomsday spoilers, but the
1520
01:18:01.640 --> 01:18:04.560
point stands. And then it goes on to talk about
1521
01:18:04.640 --> 01:18:08.319
how it kind of ran out of momentum and all
1522
01:18:08.359 --> 01:18:13.279
of that. So, yeah, it's a fascinating thing to do
1523
01:18:13.359 --> 01:18:18.159
it that way. It doesn't speak to a lot of
1524
01:18:18.199 --> 01:18:24.199
confidence or feeling good about their lineup, but yeah, it's
1525
01:18:24.239 --> 01:18:26.039
a it's a curious thing. Let me see if I
1526
01:18:26.039 --> 01:18:28.119
can find the list, because I'm really surprised they didn't
1527
01:18:28.119 --> 01:18:35.319
put the list in here. Let's see Avengers Doomsday list.
1528
01:18:35.760 --> 01:18:38.600
Some of you may not be aware of what it is,
1529
01:18:38.640 --> 01:18:43.359
so now I will share this again here. So here
1530
01:18:43.439 --> 01:18:48.840
is the list Disney's pre doomsday watchless X Men two thousand,
1531
01:18:48.880 --> 01:18:53.399
because duh, they're gonna be a big part of it. Oh, actually,
1532
01:18:53.439 --> 01:18:56.319
then what let's do it this way and then take
1533
01:18:56.359 --> 01:19:00.800
myself down take the Okay, so I'm still in the way,
1534
01:19:00.840 --> 01:19:02.680
and there we go. There we go. Okay, so let's
1535
01:19:02.760 --> 01:19:08.000
pull it down there it is okay. Yeah, X Men
1536
01:19:08.039 --> 01:19:11.039
two thousand, X Men United, X two, Right of Course,
1537
01:19:11.279 --> 01:19:15.720
X two United Captain America, First Avenger, The Avengers, Avengers,
1538
01:19:15.720 --> 01:19:20.960
Infinity War, Avengers, Endgame, Loki season one and two, probably
1539
01:19:21.359 --> 01:19:23.319
Shaun Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, at
1540
01:19:23.359 --> 01:19:26.399
least Teammate, The Cut, Spider Man, No Way Home, Doctor
1541
01:19:26.439 --> 01:19:30.600
Strange and the Multiverse Avendas, Black Panther, Waconda, Forever, Dead
1542
01:19:30.680 --> 01:19:34.000
Pull and Wolverine, Captain America, Brave New World, Thunderbolts, and
1543
01:19:34.079 --> 01:19:37.960
Fantastic four First Steps. That's the list. That is the
1544
01:19:37.960 --> 01:19:44.760
pre doomsday watch list. So yeah, no og, Doctor Strange,
1545
01:19:44.800 --> 01:19:49.800
but the sequel to Doctor Strange, Dead Pull and Wolverine,
1546
01:19:49.840 --> 01:19:52.159
that that means. You know, we saw that video that
1547
01:19:52.439 --> 01:19:55.399
was played at d twenty three with Hugh Jackman and
1548
01:19:55.479 --> 01:19:58.399
Ryan Reynolds messing with the other about being in Doomsday,
1549
01:19:58.439 --> 01:19:59.880
so you know they're going to show up, and then
1550
01:20:00.119 --> 01:20:03.640
of course Ryan showed up in his is a Canadian tuxedo,
1551
01:20:03.680 --> 01:20:08.319
denhim Deadpool outfit. Brave New World is interesting. I guess
1552
01:20:08.399 --> 01:20:12.319
that's for Anthony Mackie, although I would have I would
1553
01:20:12.319 --> 01:20:15.079
have suggested Falcon and Winter Soldier over a Brave New World.
1554
01:20:15.560 --> 01:20:17.560
But does Brave New World mean we're getting the Red
1555
01:20:17.600 --> 01:20:19.640
Hulk back? Is Harrison Ford going to be a part
1556
01:20:19.640 --> 01:20:24.840
of this, Are we getting Gin Carlo back? Are we
1557
01:20:24.920 --> 01:20:32.600
getting possibly the Leader back? And are we getting anyone
1558
01:20:32.680 --> 01:20:35.600
else anyone else back? Man? Maybe the Sebastian Stein interaction
1559
01:20:35.760 --> 01:20:38.880
is why that's in there. I don't know. Thunderbolts makes sense.
1560
01:20:38.880 --> 01:20:42.800
Fantastic four of course because of Doom Wakanda fronother was
1561
01:20:42.880 --> 01:20:46.720
Shuri and nay More for sure. So yeah, so interesting
1562
01:20:46.960 --> 01:20:49.920
about what's in and what's out. But I think it
1563
01:20:49.920 --> 01:20:53.439
also speaks to how little they respect the content they
1564
01:20:53.560 --> 01:20:57.880
made throughout the Multiverse saga, so Bryan says, looks more
1565
01:20:57.920 --> 01:21:06.119
like a marketing strategy to me. Yeah, probably probably so Yeah,
1566
01:21:06.239 --> 01:21:08.199
I think what W. W. Grad said is interesting. How
1567
01:21:08.199 --> 01:21:10.399
many hours of content are they asking people to watch
1568
01:21:10.399 --> 01:21:14.720
for homework? That's fair because it can feel like homework
1569
01:21:14.720 --> 01:21:16.960
because there's so much leading up to it, so you
1570
01:21:17.000 --> 01:21:19.800
don't want them to watch necessarily the bad stuff. Although
1571
01:21:19.800 --> 01:21:22.239
I would say Multiverse Madness is a pretty terrible movie
1572
01:21:22.239 --> 01:21:25.279
in my opinion, but it did make almost a billion dollars,
1573
01:21:25.319 --> 01:21:28.039
so you could argue people do need to watch it.
1574
01:21:28.119 --> 01:21:32.319
So you know, there we go. So we'll see Phil.
1575
01:21:32.399 --> 01:21:35.119
What's up? Phil? Whoa hre'ge love from Lon London Town. Sorry,
1576
01:21:35.119 --> 01:21:40.319
I'm in my warm weather preseason training camp in Cypress, Nyeville, Cypress.
1577
01:21:40.319 --> 01:21:42.399
The Europeans they know how to do it. Everybody they
1578
01:21:42.439 --> 01:21:44.600
know how to do it. Everything is a hop, skip
1579
01:21:44.680 --> 01:21:48.399
and jump away. I okay, So let's get into the
1580
01:21:48.439 --> 01:21:50.880
paramount WP. Well, actually, let's get into one more thing.
1581
01:21:51.239 --> 01:21:53.720
This is a fascinating story that it came up across
1582
01:21:54.359 --> 01:21:56.640
with Puck. Actually, I'm going to take a quick break
1583
01:21:56.640 --> 01:21:59.800
because I've got to use the restroom. So what can
1584
01:21:59.840 --> 01:22:02.039
I put up here for you guys to look at
1585
01:22:02.840 --> 01:22:05.880
while I go use the restroom? Uh? You know what,
1586
01:22:06.079 --> 01:22:08.319
let's let's you ever go. This is perfect. There you go,
1587
01:22:08.479 --> 01:23:13.760
I'll be I'll be right back. Yeah, Okay, thank you
1588
01:23:13.800 --> 01:23:15.880
all very much for putting up with that. I appreciate you.
1589
01:23:17.000 --> 01:23:18.960
All Right, So let's get into this story because I
1590
01:23:18.960 --> 01:23:27.239
think this is a fascinating story. This was in Puck, right,
1591
01:23:27.279 --> 01:23:31.640
I subscribe to Puck. But this is about spoilers. The
1592
01:23:31.680 --> 01:23:35.760
war on spoilers goes nuclear when Warner Brothers recently submitted
1593
01:23:35.760 --> 01:23:38.840
take down notices against independent pop culture psych Cosmic book
1594
01:23:38.880 --> 01:23:42.399
News over an alleged green lantern leak. It highlighted the
1595
01:23:42.479 --> 01:23:45.960
legal length studios will go to to quash unsanctioned pre
1596
01:23:46.079 --> 01:23:50.279
premier discussion of their hottest properties. It's still uncar if
1597
01:23:50.279 --> 01:23:52.119
the law is exactly on the IP owner side, but
1598
01:23:52.159 --> 01:23:55.359
the legal process certainly is. So let's take a look
1599
01:23:55.359 --> 01:23:58.439
at let's read this article. Let me take again my
1600
01:23:58.560 --> 01:24:04.560
graphic down here and make this on again and make
1601
01:24:04.640 --> 01:24:10.479
this one a little bit bigger. Uh So, there we go, Suman. Okay.
1602
01:24:10.880 --> 01:24:12.880
This past Sunday, HBO premiered Lantern as a high test
1603
01:24:12.920 --> 01:24:15.680
played DC series blah Our premiere episode It's the Final Moments,
1604
01:24:15.680 --> 01:24:17.880
delivered a shocking fai one of the show's central characters.
1605
01:24:18.199 --> 01:24:21.119
I won't spoil it, but Cosmic book News, an independent
1606
01:24:21.159 --> 01:24:23.319
pop culture news site, had been reading the tea lead
1607
01:24:23.399 --> 01:24:27.439
for months, studying the casting choices, promotional footage, and clues
1608
01:24:27.439 --> 01:24:31.279
about the show's timeline. By March March, editor Matt McGloin
1609
01:24:31.439 --> 01:24:34.760
was predicting the ending outright. Then on July tenth, two
1610
01:24:34.800 --> 01:24:37.840
weeks before Comic Con, and an almous anonymous Reddit post
1611
01:24:38.239 --> 01:24:41.560
purported to reveal the plot twist. The rumor quickly spread
1612
01:24:41.600 --> 01:24:44.960
to x where Warner Brothers discoveries copyright machinery word into action.
1613
01:24:45.520 --> 01:24:48.800
An HBO Max social strategist I didn't even know that existed,
1614
01:24:49.239 --> 01:24:52.880
submitted a takedown notice covering six posts from five accounts,
1615
01:24:52.920 --> 01:24:57.439
including Cosmic book News, describing the purported infringement as quote.
1616
01:24:57.439 --> 01:24:59.880
People discussing the spoilers of the first episode of l
1617
01:25:00.720 --> 01:25:04.880
A separate WBD content production employee followed with another notice,
1618
01:25:05.039 --> 01:25:08.840
while Mark Scan, one of the company's outside vendors, struck
1619
01:25:08.880 --> 01:25:12.600
a sixty seven second Cosmic Book news video on YouTube.
1620
01:25:12.960 --> 01:25:15.760
Facebook removed the same video after receiving a third party
1621
01:25:15.800 --> 01:25:19.319
copyright complaint, though it's notice curiously failed to identify the complainants.
1622
01:25:20.239 --> 01:25:24.680
McGloin filed counternotices, but his ex account was temporarily locked,
1623
01:25:25.199 --> 01:25:28.640
and Meta later barred him from managing Cosmic Book Newses
1624
01:25:29.079 --> 01:25:31.680
six hundred and sixty six thousand That's a curious number
1625
01:25:31.800 --> 01:25:35.640
follower Facebook page for thirty days, a sanction that ran
1626
01:25:35.720 --> 01:25:39.000
through Comic Con. The timing was particularly painful for an
1627
01:25:39.000 --> 01:25:42.359
outlet credential to cover Warner Brothers's hall Ah presentation and
1628
01:25:42.359 --> 01:25:45.600
whose social accounts McGloin has said generated as many as
1629
01:25:45.640 --> 01:25:48.720
forty million views a month. The takedowns cut me off
1630
01:25:48.720 --> 01:25:50.680
from a large portion of my audience during the biggest
1631
01:25:50.680 --> 01:25:52.720
week of the year, affected my ability to report on
1632
01:25:52.760 --> 01:25:55.720
Comic Con lanterns and all related news, and hurt my
1633
01:25:55.800 --> 01:26:00.119
bottom line, he said. Copyright law and incentivizes authors are
1634
01:26:00.159 --> 01:26:02.520
protecting the original expression in their work. What it generally
1635
01:26:02.600 --> 01:26:06.199
doesn't protect is someone else simply describing that work, including
1636
01:26:06.199 --> 01:26:08.960
what happens in it. Given this, I began to investigate.
1637
01:26:09.000 --> 01:26:11.319
After digging into the notices, I learned that this wasn't
1638
01:26:11.359 --> 01:26:15.159
simply collateral damage from an automated system swipping up an
1639
01:26:15.159 --> 01:26:19.880
improperly used still or some illicit footage. WBD was indeed
1640
01:26:20.479 --> 01:26:25.600
targeting advanced discussion of the plot. This is Eric Gardner
1641
01:26:25.640 --> 01:26:31.199
who wrote this. The studio declined to comment, but a
1642
01:26:31.239 --> 01:26:34.279
source familiar with its thinking told me that several factors
1643
01:26:34.319 --> 01:26:38.079
are considered before acting in such cases, including whether the
1644
01:26:38.119 --> 01:26:40.359
film or TV show has yet to come out. There
1645
01:26:40.399 --> 01:26:44.159
is a legitimate copyright argument that an unusually detailed reconstruction
1646
01:26:44.239 --> 01:26:47.359
of an unreleased work can cross the line by serving
1647
01:26:47.359 --> 01:26:49.960
as some kind of substitute. This happens on YouTube all
1648
01:26:50.000 --> 01:26:52.119
the time, by the way, Like I get notices all
1649
01:26:52.159 --> 01:26:54.920
the time when I do trailer reactions because there and
1650
01:26:54.960 --> 01:26:57.159
some people go like, why do you talk over the trailer?
1651
01:26:57.239 --> 01:27:00.520
I have to, motherfucker, because if I don't, you can
1652
01:27:00.520 --> 01:27:04.000
get your video absolutely taken down because you have to
1653
01:27:04.079 --> 01:27:07.039
show that you're altering the trailer in some way. And
1654
01:27:07.079 --> 01:27:09.680
by that I mean if you talk over it. That's
1655
01:27:09.760 --> 01:27:12.600
not what you can get on the official website of
1656
01:27:12.920 --> 01:27:17.439
WB YouTube channel, where you watch the trailer uninterrupted. Right
1657
01:27:17.760 --> 01:27:20.199
by us talking over it or reacting to it, or
1658
01:27:20.239 --> 01:27:24.399
putting ourselves on camera reacting to the trailer, you are
1659
01:27:24.520 --> 01:27:28.279
affecting the natural rollout of the trailer. That's important to
1660
01:27:28.399 --> 01:27:32.720
avoid copyright infringement. So some people who don't run YouTube
1661
01:27:32.760 --> 01:27:36.319
channels have no idea that that's important to do. So, yes,
1662
01:27:36.399 --> 01:27:39.079
sometimes we're reacting to things and we're like, oh my god. Oh.
1663
01:27:39.520 --> 01:27:42.720
Sometimes it's because we have to put something there verbally
1664
01:27:43.199 --> 01:27:45.880
in order to make the trailer altered in some way.
1665
01:27:45.920 --> 01:27:48.560
You're not altering the content of the trailer or the
1666
01:27:48.560 --> 01:27:51.359
construction of the trailer, but a person watching the trailer
1667
01:27:51.399 --> 01:27:54.399
for the first time is seeing your reaction, which affects
1668
01:27:54.479 --> 01:27:58.880
their overall watching of the trailer. So you're not showing
1669
01:27:58.920 --> 01:28:02.119
the trailer and it's a rich form, so you have
1670
01:28:02.159 --> 01:28:04.039
to do that in order to avoid any kind of
1671
01:28:04.039 --> 01:28:07.239
copyright infringement. But anyway, you see here, But what got
1672
01:28:07.239 --> 01:28:10.840
caught in Warner's dragnet here was something considerably thinner. People
1673
01:28:10.880 --> 01:28:13.920
were reporting and discussing a rumor about what happens in
1674
01:28:13.960 --> 01:28:16.479
the premiere. Those details may not be hard news to
1675
01:28:16.520 --> 01:28:18.159
you and me, but it is to the audience for
1676
01:28:18.279 --> 01:28:21.920
mcgloyan's website. In any case, WBT has no intention of
1677
01:28:21.960 --> 01:28:23.920
taking this to court. It already got what it wanted
1678
01:28:23.920 --> 01:28:27.520
with the takedowns, keeping the plot reveal momentarily obscured, and
1679
01:28:27.560 --> 01:28:30.840
the show's premiere has now come and gone. As for mcgloyin,
1680
01:28:30.880 --> 01:28:33.239
he tells me that he is weighing his legal options.
1681
01:28:34.039 --> 01:28:37.239
Spoilers may seem like small stakes, but as aidep fakes proliferate.
1682
01:28:37.279 --> 01:28:40.159
Congresses considering new legislation that would give rights holders a
1683
01:28:40.239 --> 01:28:44.760
copyright style notice and takedown mechanism for unauthorized digital replicas,
1684
01:28:44.760 --> 01:28:47.479
but beforehanding Before handing over that power, lawmakers ought to
1685
01:28:47.520 --> 01:28:50.439
be confident that the lever won't be repurposed as a
1686
01:28:50.479 --> 01:28:53.960
censorship tool. There is reason to be wary. Around the world.
1687
01:28:54.119 --> 01:28:56.600
Entertainment companies are already stretching in legal systems built to
1688
01:28:56.600 --> 01:29:00.479
fight piracy and tool into tools for managing the audiences
1689
01:29:00.520 --> 01:29:05.159
first encounter with a project. Producers of the several Telugu
1690
01:29:05.239 --> 01:29:09.520
film security injunctions against negative and allegedly malicious online reviews
1691
01:29:09.560 --> 01:29:12.279
prompting book my Show to disable ratings for some titles.
1692
01:29:12.319 --> 01:29:16.439
One YouTube critic accused Aiplex and anti piracy and reputation
1693
01:29:16.520 --> 01:29:20.720
management firm of invoking the orders against his review. In Japan,
1694
01:29:21.000 --> 01:29:24.800
Toho and Kanakawa helped pursue a criminal copyright prosecution against
1695
01:29:24.840 --> 01:29:30.680
a website operator who published monetized, extraordinarily detailed plot recaps
1696
01:29:30.680 --> 01:29:33.960
of Godzilla Minus one and Overlord the Third Overload three.
1697
01:29:34.119 --> 01:29:37.079
A Tokyo court gave him a suspended eighteen month prison
1698
01:29:37.239 --> 01:29:42.560
sentence and a one million five I don't know what
1699
01:29:42.680 --> 01:29:46.840
the is it yen? I guess that's one million yen fine.
1700
01:29:47.399 --> 01:29:50.319
Those recaps were far more comprehensive than the Lanterns rumor,
1701
01:29:50.359 --> 01:29:53.399
but the case nevertheless illustrates how piracy enforcement is reaching
1702
01:29:53.479 --> 01:29:57.119
beyond illicit copies and into words about a work back.
1703
01:29:57.159 --> 01:29:59.880
In the US, this isn't Warner's first one with allig
1704
01:30:00.319 --> 01:30:04.039
that its copyright enforcement crossed over into review management, as
1705
01:30:04.079 --> 01:30:07.239
I reported in Jew and That's Eric Gardner. YouTuber Andrew
1706
01:30:07.359 --> 01:30:10.199
Sosa claims in an ongoing lawsuit that the studio used
1707
01:30:10.199 --> 01:30:14.159
the DMCA to squelch his negative review of The Batman.
1708
01:30:14.760 --> 01:30:18.399
In May, a federal judge allowed his misrepresentation. Claimed to proceed,
1709
01:30:18.840 --> 01:30:22.520
finding that discovery was needed into Warner's review procedures, what
1710
01:30:22.640 --> 01:30:24.800
it told YouTube, and whether it acted in good faith
1711
01:30:25.319 --> 01:30:28.199
before submitting a DMCA takedown notice. A copyright holder is
1712
01:30:28.239 --> 01:30:30.560
supposed to consider failures and attests to a good faith
1713
01:30:30.600 --> 01:30:34.640
belief that the targeted material is unauthorized. The famous case
1714
01:30:34.680 --> 01:30:38.239
involving a toddler dancing to princes Let's Go Crazy cemented
1715
01:30:38.239 --> 01:30:41.479
that obligation, but good faith is the subjective standard, and
1716
01:30:41.520 --> 01:30:45.720
Warner spoiled theory isn't entirely frivolous. This is interesting. Harper
1717
01:30:45.720 --> 01:30:49.640
and roversus Nation Enterprises Supreme Court case involving Gerald Ford's
1718
01:30:49.680 --> 01:30:53.640
unpublished memoir Gerald Ford being the former President after Nixon,
1719
01:30:54.000 --> 01:30:57.840
and twin Peak Productions versus Publications Injured, a nineties case
1720
01:30:57.920 --> 01:31:03.159
concerning exceptionally detailed episode synopsis of David Lynch's Mystery series.
1721
01:31:03.239 --> 01:31:07.279
Both supply ammunition for the proposition that is sufficiently expressive
1722
01:31:07.319 --> 01:31:12.039
retelling can infringe copyright. That's partly why WBD has argued
1723
01:31:12.039 --> 01:31:14.680
in the Sosa case that quote the belief that spoilers
1724
01:31:14.720 --> 01:31:18.159
violate copyright productions even if mistaken, if he eats any
1725
01:31:18.279 --> 01:31:22.439
showing of a knowing misrepresentation. Still merely clicking a box
1726
01:31:22.520 --> 01:31:25.880
mark good faith doesn't make it so. Rejecting Warner's bid
1727
01:31:25.880 --> 01:31:29.680
to dismiss Sosa's claim, US District District Court Judge William
1728
01:31:29.800 --> 01:31:32.920
Oric concluded that the speed of the removal, they subsequent
1729
01:31:32.960 --> 01:31:35.960
withdrawal of the takedown, and the apparent absence of movie
1730
01:31:35.960 --> 01:31:40.520
footage plausibly supported an inference of bad faith. Notably or
1731
01:31:40.680 --> 01:31:43.159
rule just weeks before Warners issued at the Lantern's takedowns,
1732
01:31:43.359 --> 01:31:45.920
and shortly before another judge delivered a noteworthy fair use
1733
01:31:46.000 --> 01:31:49.840
ruling in Ten Entertainment versus Alexandra Marwa Saber. In that case,
1734
01:31:49.920 --> 01:31:52.159
judge was the Hughue held at nearly four hour twitch
1735
01:31:52.199 --> 01:31:56.119
reaction stream incorporating Ethan Klein's entire one hundred two minute
1736
01:31:56.119 --> 01:31:59.239
content Nuke documentary was fair use as a matter of
1737
01:31:59.359 --> 01:32:01.840
law on the place the whole film was shown. Yet
1738
01:32:01.840 --> 01:32:05.319
the surrounding commentary was as I was saying, the surrounding
1739
01:32:05.359 --> 01:32:10.399
commentary was sufficiently transformative against that backdrop invoking copyright against
1740
01:32:10.399 --> 01:32:12.720
a brief faced camera discussion of a rumor plot point
1741
01:32:13.119 --> 01:32:16.920
looks considerably more adventurous. Warners is playing with fire here.
1742
01:32:16.960 --> 01:32:19.520
Perhaps it likes its odds. Section five to twelve f
1743
01:32:19.600 --> 01:32:22.039
of the DMCA was designed to hold the rights holders
1744
01:32:22.079 --> 01:32:25.479
liable for knowingly false takedown notices, yet it had produced
1745
01:32:25.479 --> 01:32:29.600
remarkably few successful cases. The subjective good faith standard is
1746
01:32:29.600 --> 01:32:33.520
forgiving damages can be elusive in litigation takes years. A studio, meanwhile,
1747
01:32:33.560 --> 01:32:36.239
gets this remedy almost instantly. By the time a counter
1748
01:32:36.279 --> 01:32:38.399
notice has run its course and account has been restored,
1749
01:32:38.720 --> 01:32:40.760
the speed has been sorted out, and the premiere or
1750
01:32:40.840 --> 01:32:44.119
comic con or the entire leak cycle has come and gone.
1751
01:32:44.239 --> 01:32:47.960
That is the acimme, That is the asym, That is
1752
01:32:48.000 --> 01:32:51.279
the asymmetry at the heart of the lanterns Affair wondered
1753
01:32:51.279 --> 01:32:53.399
why this is no intention of filing suit, because it
1754
01:32:53.399 --> 01:32:56.800
does need to. The temporary interruption was the point. Perhaps
1755
01:32:56.800 --> 01:32:59.399
Sosa's case will finally impose some consequences, and maybe the
1756
01:32:59.399 --> 01:33:02.079
owner of Cause Book News will sue to adjust the
1757
01:33:02.119 --> 01:33:04.560
injury to his business. Until then, Warners can keep acting
1758
01:33:04.600 --> 01:33:07.640
as a self appointed guardian of the audience's first encounter
1759
01:33:07.640 --> 01:33:10.199
while discovering his comp book story so often teach that
1760
01:33:10.239 --> 01:33:12.600
the line between the hero and villain comes down to
1761
01:33:12.720 --> 01:33:17.359
how power is used. So this is a fascinating story
1762
01:33:17.359 --> 01:33:19.439
for a number of reasons. I mean, there's only so
1763
01:33:19.560 --> 01:33:22.520
far you can go with these things where before a
1764
01:33:22.560 --> 01:33:26.640
studio gets involved, you know, and this is a fascinating thing. Look,
1765
01:33:26.640 --> 01:33:29.800
I'm no fan of Matt mcloyan or Cosmic News. I
1766
01:33:29.800 --> 01:33:33.279
think they're I think they are a right wing, anti woke,
1767
01:33:33.319 --> 01:33:37.840
anti DEI place, and I think they even like I
1768
01:33:37.880 --> 01:33:40.079
think they used my Star Wars tweet for an article,
1769
01:33:40.079 --> 01:33:41.920
the one I posted where I was like saying that
1770
01:33:41.960 --> 01:33:45.239
we need to have people of color be a part
1771
01:33:45.239 --> 01:33:47.840
of these and or conversations on a lot of these
1772
01:33:47.880 --> 01:33:53.159
white led Star Wars review shows. Yes, I miss I
1773
01:33:53.199 --> 01:33:55.239
probably didn't word that tweet so well, which is why
1774
01:33:55.239 --> 01:33:56.800
I took it down. So I get why people were
1775
01:33:56.840 --> 01:33:58.479
upset about it. But I wasn't in any way saying
1776
01:33:58.520 --> 01:34:00.600
white people can talk about Star Wars, which is how
1777
01:34:00.600 --> 01:34:05.039
it was read. But anyway, but he still has a
1778
01:34:05.159 --> 01:34:07.399
right to like, you know, I still believe in freedom
1779
01:34:07.439 --> 01:34:09.199
of speech. I believe that he has a right to
1780
01:34:09.239 --> 01:34:11.960
post the things. And if he was doing the analysis
1781
01:34:12.000 --> 01:34:14.439
and all this kind of stuff, and he did not
1782
01:34:14.560 --> 01:34:16.720
have access this important thing, if he did not have
1783
01:34:16.840 --> 01:34:21.600
access to the screeners and was just putting everything together
1784
01:34:21.920 --> 01:34:25.960
and then came to the conclusion that he thought was
1785
01:34:26.279 --> 01:34:28.239
what happened to how happened to Hall at the end
1786
01:34:28.239 --> 01:34:34.520
of Lanterns. I think it's very weird to take that down.
1787
01:34:34.640 --> 01:34:37.560
I think that is censorship, if not censorship adjacent at
1788
01:34:37.640 --> 01:34:41.319
least because you are allowed to analyze what you think
1789
01:34:41.399 --> 01:34:43.079
is going to happen. Certainly, I think we talked on
1790
01:34:43.119 --> 01:34:45.560
the Hot Mic that we sensed what was going to
1791
01:34:45.600 --> 01:34:47.199
happen to Hell, or even on I think on the
1792
01:34:47.199 --> 01:34:49.920
Geek Buddies, we talked about what we thought was going
1793
01:34:49.960 --> 01:34:51.920
to happen to how was going to happen to How
1794
01:34:52.079 --> 01:34:54.720
And we'll see what the end result is of that
1795
01:34:54.760 --> 01:34:57.159
by the time the eighth episode rolls around. But to me,
1796
01:34:58.199 --> 01:35:01.039
this is a shocking thing to see them do it.
1797
01:35:01.079 --> 01:35:04.279
But man, when you messing with corporations and their bottom line,
1798
01:35:04.439 --> 01:35:07.359
I'm not surprised that they would flex their muscle and
1799
01:35:07.479 --> 01:35:09.560
hit you where it hurts, which is to make you
1800
01:35:09.640 --> 01:35:12.439
go down during comic con where you make your most
1801
01:35:12.520 --> 01:35:18.399
money covering superhero stuff and whatever. So I'm not necessarily
1802
01:35:18.439 --> 01:35:20.920
surprised that Warner Brothers took that rup. I'm sure these
1803
01:35:20.960 --> 01:35:23.399
people looked at this thing and go, let's hit him
1804
01:35:23.399 --> 01:35:27.000
where it hurts. And they timed their takedown notice to
1805
01:35:27.159 --> 01:35:30.960
be thirty days through comic con cycle, so his bottom
1806
01:35:31.039 --> 01:35:34.640
line would be effected. Now, maybe mac go's you know what,
1807
01:35:35.359 --> 01:35:38.079
I take the hits. I get it. I make a
1808
01:35:38.079 --> 01:35:41.600
lot of money. It's not a big deal, right, because
1809
01:35:41.600 --> 01:35:45.880
if you have six hundred six hundred thousand followers, you're
1810
01:35:45.880 --> 01:35:50.840
doing fine. You're doing fucking fine financially. Okay, I'm doing okay,
1811
01:35:51.119 --> 01:35:53.199
and I don't get those numbers and I don't have
1812
01:35:53.239 --> 01:35:56.000
those kind of following, so I can only imagine how
1813
01:35:56.079 --> 01:35:58.000
much more money you're making. Now. If you've got a
1814
01:35:58.000 --> 01:35:59.640
bunch of houses. I get that you might be a
1815
01:35:59.680 --> 01:36:02.840
little you know, struck for cash or strap for cash.
1816
01:36:02.920 --> 01:36:05.600
But if you live in a pretty regular life and
1817
01:36:05.640 --> 01:36:10.840
you have six hundred thousand followers and how many millions
1818
01:36:10.840 --> 01:36:14.159
of minutes of watch on your stuff, you're doing fine financially.
1819
01:36:14.239 --> 01:36:16.560
So he may just take the hit and be like, hey,
1820
01:36:16.640 --> 01:36:19.119
I flew too close to the sun. My wings got burnt.
1821
01:36:19.399 --> 01:36:21.840
I learned that for next time, or he may push
1822
01:36:21.920 --> 01:36:24.319
back at Warner Brothers, make this a cause, celeb and
1823
01:36:24.439 --> 01:36:27.479
do a bunch of videos and go the legal route.
1824
01:36:27.479 --> 01:36:28.920
But it's gonna cost him a lot of money to
1825
01:36:28.920 --> 01:36:31.840
take on WB. I mean, that's a fucking strong corporation
1826
01:36:31.880 --> 01:36:33.880
with a team of lawyers that has no problem arguing.
1827
01:36:34.000 --> 01:36:36.680
So but it is a situation where you have to
1828
01:36:36.760 --> 01:36:38.880
kind of figure out like where is the line? You know?
1829
01:36:38.960 --> 01:36:41.840
And I think these some of these right wing websites,
1830
01:36:42.000 --> 01:36:47.359
anti woke, anti DEI websites, like to fuck with the studios,
1831
01:36:47.439 --> 01:36:50.039
like to mess with their content like to you know,
1832
01:36:50.079 --> 01:36:54.159
because was Matt's approach to this, let me expose what
1833
01:36:54.239 --> 01:36:57.439
happens here, because of what happens to the white guy
1834
01:36:57.520 --> 01:37:00.840
in favor of the black green lantern. This an anti
1835
01:37:00.920 --> 01:37:04.520
Dei approach from his mind, or an anti woke approach
1836
01:37:04.560 --> 01:37:06.399
from his mind, and so he wanted to get his
1837
01:37:07.600 --> 01:37:10.159
followers rolled up. I don't know now, you know, I
1838
01:37:10.159 --> 01:37:12.720
don't know what the approach was there in terms because
1839
01:37:12.720 --> 01:37:14.720
I didn't look at it or read it. But looking
1840
01:37:14.760 --> 01:37:17.439
at the situation, that could have possibly been an intention
1841
01:37:18.279 --> 01:37:20.479
to come to this conclusion, to put that out there
1842
01:37:20.479 --> 01:37:22.800
for the most amount of traction, you know. And so
1843
01:37:23.760 --> 01:37:26.760
the studio didn't like that, didn't want their stuff revealed,
1844
01:37:27.600 --> 01:37:30.239
and it became and then they put the takedown on us,
1845
01:37:30.279 --> 01:37:32.880
and so you know, you play with fire, you might
1846
01:37:32.920 --> 01:37:34.960
get burnt sometimes, just how it goes. So we'll see
1847
01:37:34.960 --> 01:37:36.680
if Matt pushes back. But I think this is a
1848
01:37:36.760 --> 01:37:39.800
sign for a lot of people who run these websites,
1849
01:37:39.800 --> 01:37:43.800
who run these YouTube channels, like corporations are watching, especially
1850
01:37:43.800 --> 01:37:46.159
if you're big. When you get big, obviously there's more
1851
01:37:46.159 --> 01:37:49.279
attention on its more spotlight on you. Corporations are going
1852
01:37:49.359 --> 01:37:51.039
to take you down. If this was like a ten
1853
01:37:51.079 --> 01:37:55.479
thousand YouTube channel, ten thousand followers or five thousand followers,
1854
01:37:55.520 --> 01:37:57.439
I don't think they'd taken it down. But because it's
1855
01:37:57.520 --> 01:38:01.039
mad who's a big has a big follow I think
1856
01:38:01.079 --> 01:38:04.279
they did this to send a message to people who
1857
01:38:04.279 --> 01:38:06.920
are out there. And again I think this is a
1858
01:38:06.960 --> 01:38:09.600
form of censorship. If he didn't get these episodes ahead
1859
01:38:09.600 --> 01:38:12.039
of time and he was putting everything together and he
1860
01:38:12.079 --> 01:38:14.680
came to that conclusion, I think he has a right
1861
01:38:14.720 --> 01:38:17.039
to post his conclusion right. But if he got the
1862
01:38:17.039 --> 01:38:21.800
episodes ahead of time and he's faking that he came
1863
01:38:21.840 --> 01:38:25.560
to this conclusion, then I think Warner Brothers has a
1864
01:38:25.600 --> 01:38:27.640
little more standing to do what they did because they're
1865
01:38:27.640 --> 01:38:30.279
like you knew what happened in the show. This isn't
1866
01:38:30.279 --> 01:38:36.439
you coming to the conclusion on your own. You came
1867
01:38:36.479 --> 01:38:38.760
to this conclusion because we gave you the episodes, And
1868
01:38:38.800 --> 01:38:41.439
now you're trying to play like you came to this
1869
01:38:41.520 --> 01:38:44.239
conclusion on your own. But you watched the episodes and
1870
01:38:44.279 --> 01:38:46.920
you know what happens, So you're lying. I mean, I
1871
01:38:47.000 --> 01:38:51.880
think that gives a little more credibility to what Warner
1872
01:38:51.880 --> 01:38:54.199
Brothers did if that was the case. So I don't
1873
01:38:54.239 --> 01:38:55.960
know what the case is, but like looking at it
1874
01:38:56.000 --> 01:38:58.439
from all the points of views, that's what I look at.
1875
01:38:58.479 --> 01:39:02.960
So so anyway, yeah, all right, so two hundred and
1876
01:39:03.000 --> 01:39:04.760
fifty of you still hanging out with me. Thank you
1877
01:39:04.800 --> 01:39:07.439
so much. Oh, Karen says, the real reject's got a
1878
01:39:07.479 --> 01:39:11.359
lot of strikes on them. Yeah. Well, they're one million subscribers.
1879
01:39:11.439 --> 01:39:14.279
You're going to get the attention of the studios. I mean,
1880
01:39:15.039 --> 01:39:18.520
nothing is I'm always fascinated by people who just think,
1881
01:39:18.600 --> 01:39:22.199
you know, there's no other side of the coin, there's
1882
01:39:22.319 --> 01:39:26.520
just my success. No, there's always another side of the coin.
1883
01:39:27.039 --> 01:39:31.680
There's always Once you get a lot of attention, there's
1884
01:39:31.760 --> 01:39:35.279
always criticism that comes with that attention. Or you get
1885
01:39:35.319 --> 01:39:39.439
the attention of the studios or the copyright owners or people.
1886
01:39:39.479 --> 01:39:42.840
There are copyright people who go into these big sites
1887
01:39:42.880 --> 01:39:48.880
and they launch these copyright strikes or copyright claims and
1888
01:39:48.960 --> 01:39:51.159
they are not involved with the production of any of
1889
01:39:51.199 --> 01:39:54.079
the stuff at all. But there are professional companies that
1890
01:39:54.159 --> 01:39:56.960
do that to try to take money away from YouTubers,
1891
01:39:56.960 --> 01:39:59.680
and that always sucks. I've seen Greg deal with that shit,
1892
01:39:59.680 --> 01:40:02.560
which is supremely frustrating. But you know, when you have
1893
01:40:02.600 --> 01:40:05.720
a million subscribers and you're out there all the time,
1894
01:40:06.079 --> 01:40:07.960
you're going to get some people who are trying to
1895
01:40:08.680 --> 01:40:11.000
take you down, or studios that are going to post
1896
01:40:11.039 --> 01:40:13.600
copyright notices or claims on it. And that's just the game,
1897
01:40:13.720 --> 01:40:18.000
you know. So so this was a situation there. All right,
1898
01:40:18.079 --> 01:40:20.279
Let's move on to some paramount w B shit keep
1899
01:40:20.319 --> 01:40:22.399
sending in your stream labs and super chats. I will
1900
01:40:22.439 --> 01:40:26.800
answer them after we get into this stuff. So and
1901
01:40:26.840 --> 01:40:29.319
we are running. God, I've been on for an hour
1902
01:40:29.359 --> 01:40:31.600
and forty minutes already. I can't believe that. Jesus Christ.
1903
01:40:31.720 --> 01:40:34.319
All right, so let's get into this stuff. The rap
1904
01:40:35.079 --> 01:40:41.319
wrote a pretty extensive report here. Actually, let's I'm gonna
1905
01:40:41.319 --> 01:40:47.439
skip the wraps one. There's another one that is when
1906
01:40:47.640 --> 01:40:59.880
is it? Where is it? I think this might be it? Yeah,
1907
01:41:00.079 --> 01:41:04.159
is it? Alright? So, so a report was issued and
1908
01:41:04.199 --> 01:41:06.560
this is I think this is yesterday from Dominic Patten.
1909
01:41:06.600 --> 01:41:15.600
A report was issued about the Paramount WB merger. And
1910
01:41:17.720 --> 01:41:24.039
the report basically broke down what the merger is going
1911
01:41:24.079 --> 01:41:31.359
to cost Paramount, what's going to cost California and La Basically,
1912
01:41:35.079 --> 01:41:39.279
so the La County Department of Economic Opportunity today that
1913
01:41:39.359 --> 01:41:42.960
was yesterday built on its already ominous June eighteenth report
1914
01:41:43.399 --> 01:41:46.000
to the Board of Supervisors on a Paramount w merger
1915
01:41:46.039 --> 01:41:51.119
with even harsher data. If the eighty two billion dollars, okay, bye,
1916
01:41:51.720 --> 01:41:54.960
hold on, let me from himself back in the corner,
1917
01:41:55.039 --> 01:42:09.640
take this down again. Let's see here. Okay, so yes,
1918
01:42:09.720 --> 01:42:11.479
if the eighty two let me make this a little
1919
01:42:11.479 --> 01:42:13.800
closer to me. If the eighty two billion dollar debt
1920
01:42:14.079 --> 01:42:18.680
carrying Parabros was to be real, David Allison's dream will
1921
01:42:18.720 --> 01:42:22.640
be a nightmare for Paramount and WBT staff. The quote
1922
01:42:22.720 --> 01:42:25.399
assessing the effects of the proposed Paramounts guidance exibition of
1923
01:42:25.399 --> 01:42:29.439
Warner brother Discovery, La County Economy and workforce entitled dense
1924
01:42:29.520 --> 01:42:33.600
document predicts, let me read that again, if the eighty
1925
01:42:33.640 --> 01:42:36.520
two billion dollars debt carrying Parabros was to be real,
1926
01:42:36.760 --> 01:42:39.119
David Allison's dream will be a nightmare for a paramount
1927
01:42:39.119 --> 01:42:42.199
and WBT staff. The quote assessing the effects of the
1928
01:42:42.199 --> 01:42:45.079
proposed Paramounts guide enance acquisition of Warner Brothers Discovery on
1929
01:42:45.119 --> 01:42:48.800
the La County Economy and Workforce entitled dense document predicts
1930
01:42:49.119 --> 01:42:52.119
there will be a quote potential loss of fifteen thousand,
1931
01:42:52.680 --> 01:42:55.239
five hundred and sixty seven corporate roles that overlap across
1932
01:42:55.239 --> 01:42:58.439
both companies, with six thousand, ninety nine shared and two
1933
01:42:58.520 --> 01:43:01.359
thousand and four to ninety five jobs specifically in LA County,
1934
01:43:01.920 --> 01:43:05.479
says yesterday's report, getting very specific in the realm of
1935
01:43:05.479 --> 01:43:07.560
some of the worst feels of both critics and boasters
1936
01:43:07.560 --> 01:43:10.560
of the merger. The DEEO document goes on the site
1937
01:43:10.640 --> 01:43:14.159
if the merger goes through, about forty five hundred film
1938
01:43:14.159 --> 01:43:16.680
and TV jobs in La County could be lost over
1939
01:43:16.720 --> 01:43:20.960
the three year period when the companies combined operations. In total,
1940
01:43:21.439 --> 01:43:24.560
ten three hundred and sixty job years could be at risk,
1941
01:43:24.640 --> 01:43:27.800
including two thousand, six hundred and sixty one indirect jobs
1942
01:43:27.800 --> 01:43:31.439
at small businesses that support production, such as prop houses, printers,
1943
01:43:31.479 --> 01:43:35.520
transportation companies, and other vendors. Three two hundred and four
1944
01:43:35.680 --> 01:43:39.439
induced jobs that exist because film and TV workers spend
1945
01:43:39.520 --> 01:43:43.319
money in the local economy, including restaurants, retailers, and service providers.
1946
01:43:43.920 --> 01:43:48.119
The economic impact of losing these jobs is significant. At
1947
01:43:48.159 --> 01:43:51.840
stake one point two six billion dollars in wages, two
1948
01:43:51.920 --> 01:43:55.840
point seventy eight billion dollars in economic value, four point
1949
01:43:55.920 --> 01:44:00.560
zero six billion in total business output, fire forty seven
1950
01:44:00.600 --> 01:44:04.119
million dollars in tax revenue, including seventy eight point six
1951
01:44:04.239 --> 01:44:07.800
million in local taxes, most of which sixty three percent
1952
01:44:08.279 --> 01:44:16.239
comes from property taxes. That is a massive amount of
1953
01:44:16.399 --> 01:44:20.680
job loss and income loss to La County and to
1954
01:44:20.760 --> 01:44:25.039
California in general. So I think this is what David
1955
01:44:25.039 --> 01:44:28.560
Allison was afraid of. I think David Allison's pr campaign
1956
01:44:29.239 --> 01:44:33.840
with in my opinion, supposedly or probably paid off writers
1957
01:44:33.840 --> 01:44:37.920
at these websites that they are funneling information to at
1958
01:44:37.960 --> 01:44:40.560
these penskew sites to write this thumb out to be fair,
1959
01:44:40.600 --> 01:44:43.319
that the deadline is Penske site. But some of these
1960
01:44:43.319 --> 01:44:49.800
websites have been writing these supposedly glowing support for the
1961
01:44:49.840 --> 01:44:52.840
paramount WB merching. You know Jeff, Jeff doesn't like specifics.
1962
01:44:52.880 --> 01:44:55.399
I couldn't go this deep into the conversation with Jeff
1963
01:44:55.760 --> 01:44:57.760
on the hot mipe beers. Jeff is just he's made
1964
01:44:57.840 --> 01:45:00.760
up his mind the mergers should go through. But I
1965
01:45:00.800 --> 01:45:02.640
think it's important to look at this stuff. I think
1966
01:45:02.680 --> 01:45:05.720
it's important to know the numbers in the details, because
1967
01:45:05.720 --> 01:45:09.520
you've got the DGA and the and Yatzi pushing for
1968
01:45:09.560 --> 01:45:13.239
a settlement. Karen Bass today completely did a one eighty
1969
01:45:13.319 --> 01:45:15.479
and now she's like, they need them to come together
1970
01:45:15.520 --> 01:45:19.800
and settle. And so some people are turning on this thing.
1971
01:45:19.840 --> 01:45:22.760
Cinema United, which had been against this as recently as
1972
01:45:22.840 --> 01:45:28.159
last week, now joined a Regal and AMC to be
1973
01:45:28.199 --> 01:45:31.640
in support of the merchant. I really could care less
1974
01:45:31.680 --> 01:45:37.439
what the CEOs of these theater chains believe, because to them,
1975
01:45:37.600 --> 01:45:39.840
all they care about is getting movies in the theater.
1976
01:45:40.760 --> 01:45:42.640
They're about the bottom line. They don't give a fuck
1977
01:45:42.640 --> 01:45:47.439
about the social impact. They don't care about Trump getting
1978
01:45:47.479 --> 01:45:50.319
his hands on CNN and manipulating and turning it into
1979
01:45:50.319 --> 01:45:53.199
another yet another right wing news network, because god knows,
1980
01:45:53.239 --> 01:45:56.560
we don't have enough of fucking those and then also
1981
01:45:56.680 --> 01:46:00.760
the job loss and the economy laws, because that doesn't
1982
01:46:00.760 --> 01:46:04.600
affect that their movies are still going to be in
1983
01:46:04.640 --> 01:46:06.880
the theater. So people are going to go see these movies.
1984
01:46:07.119 --> 01:46:09.880
That's all they fucking care about. And I think that's
1985
01:46:09.960 --> 01:46:12.439
unfortunate because there's a lot of creatives that are going
1986
01:46:12.520 --> 01:46:14.319
to be affected by this, a lot of people whose
1987
01:46:14.399 --> 01:46:17.279
jobs rely on these companies staying separate are going to
1988
01:46:17.279 --> 01:46:20.159
be affected by this, and this idea that he's going
1989
01:46:20.239 --> 01:46:23.000
to move to Austin or some shit. First of all,
1990
01:46:23.039 --> 01:46:24.680
he's not going to fucking do that, because that'd be
1991
01:46:24.720 --> 01:46:27.359
the dumbest thing in the world. Quite a few people
1992
01:46:27.359 --> 01:46:30.560
have come out already, you know, as anonymous sources, and said, like,
1993
01:46:30.760 --> 01:46:33.520
they will quit. And if you think you're going to
1994
01:46:33.560 --> 01:46:35.119
get people to come work for you for the shit
1995
01:46:35.199 --> 01:46:37.399
wages that you're going to pay them in a in
1996
01:46:37.479 --> 01:46:39.399
a low cost of living city, you're out of your
1997
01:46:39.439 --> 01:46:41.399
fucking mind. If you think your output is going to
1998
01:46:41.439 --> 01:46:44.640
be as close or as good quality wise, you're out
1999
01:46:44.640 --> 01:46:48.920
of your fucking mond. So all that stuff is in
2000
01:46:49.560 --> 01:46:53.279
the opposition of the merger happening, as evidence of the
2001
01:46:53.319 --> 01:46:56.039
opposition of the merger happening. So look at all this number.
2002
01:46:56.039 --> 01:46:58.960
I mean, this is mind blowing the kind of numbers
2003
01:46:59.000 --> 01:47:00.520
we're dealing with you when you're look at this kind
2004
01:47:00.520 --> 01:47:05.479
of stuff for the merger to go through. These estimates
2005
01:47:05.520 --> 01:47:08.199
measure okay, with initial details from two months ago in mind.
2006
01:47:08.199 --> 01:47:11.880
The report notes these estimates measure an employment capacity at risk,
2007
01:47:12.039 --> 01:47:15.039
not a forecast of layoffs. One job sustained for one
2008
01:47:15.119 --> 01:47:16.880
year equals one job year, so the impact may be
2009
01:47:16.880 --> 01:47:20.640
distributed across different workers, projects, and positions. The impact extends
2010
01:47:20.640 --> 01:47:24.079
beyond direct film and television employment, and estimated two six
2011
01:47:24.159 --> 01:47:26.439
hundred and sixty one indirect job years are at risk
2012
01:47:26.840 --> 01:47:31.560
among businesses that support production, including independent artists, agents and promoters,
2013
01:47:31.800 --> 01:47:36.239
sound recording, employment services, and equipment rental. A further three thousand,
2014
01:47:36.359 --> 01:47:38.680
two hundred and four induced job years reflect we reduced
2015
01:47:38.680 --> 01:47:42.880
households spending across the county economy. The economic impact extends
2016
01:47:42.920 --> 01:47:46.000
well beyond employment. The model losses correspond to approximately one
2017
01:47:46.039 --> 01:47:49.479
point twenty six billion dollars in labor income, two point
2018
01:47:49.560 --> 01:47:52.600
seventy nine billion dollars in value added, and four point
2019
01:47:52.720 --> 01:47:55.920
zero six billion dollars in economic output over the model period.
2020
01:47:56.279 --> 01:47:59.960
The fiscal impact extends extends across federal, state, and local government.
2021
01:48:00.199 --> 01:48:03.359
The model losses correspond to approximately five hundred and forty
2022
01:48:03.399 --> 01:48:06.319
seven million dollars in tax revenue. As we said, including
2023
01:48:06.319 --> 01:48:10.039
seventy eight seventy eight point six million in local tax revenue.
2024
01:48:10.279 --> 01:48:13.640
Impacts would emerge over time, not at closing. Evidence from
2025
01:48:13.680 --> 01:48:17.039
six completed media mergers shows workforce actions unfolding over several
2026
01:48:17.119 --> 01:48:21.000
years following the transaction, supporting continued monitoring of employment and
2027
01:48:21.319 --> 01:48:24.079
production activity rather than a single point in time assessment.
2028
01:48:24.479 --> 01:48:27.439
To put this into perspective, the direct jobs at risk
2029
01:48:27.479 --> 01:48:30.680
account for nearly nine percent of the fifty two thousand,
2030
01:48:30.800 --> 01:48:34.960
six fifty twenty sixteen film and TV jobs California has
2031
01:48:35.000 --> 01:48:38.319
already lost since twenty twenty two, and almost all those
2032
01:48:38.359 --> 01:48:41.920
losses ninety nine points six percent of the losses occurred
2033
01:48:42.039 --> 01:48:49.159
in La County. So yeah, and this is what a
2034
01:48:49.239 --> 01:48:55.239
company spokesperson said, try to spin this. Paramount company spokesperson
2035
01:48:55.279 --> 01:48:58.399
tried to spend this and say, La County's own economic
2036
01:48:58.439 --> 01:49:01.439
report underscores what we have been along. Our industry is
2037
01:49:01.439 --> 01:49:04.119
in decline, production is down, and jobs are being lost
2038
01:49:04.119 --> 01:49:06.439
and lost for good if we don't act our plan
2039
01:49:06.520 --> 01:49:09.199
to invest thirty billion dollars annually in production and release
2040
01:49:09.279 --> 01:49:11.479
least thirty films a year. Is how we regrain that ground.
2041
01:49:12.000 --> 01:49:14.359
More production, that supports more jobs over time, and ultimately
2042
01:49:14.399 --> 01:49:17.119
a stronger and more durable entertainment industry for generations to come.
2043
01:49:17.600 --> 01:49:21.680
But Rob Bonta countered this instead of the latest alle
2044
01:49:21.720 --> 01:49:25.680
Counter report. As I've said repeatedly, the proposed unlawful paramount
2045
01:49:25.720 --> 01:49:28.199
water by this merger will lead to significant job lost
2046
01:49:28.640 --> 01:49:32.640
and massive damage to the economy. Meanwhile, back in Oakland
2047
01:49:32.720 --> 01:49:34.640
is various exhibitors, guilds, and pundits of Pine on the
2048
01:49:34.640 --> 01:49:37.479
pros and cons of one big Para Bros. And Team
2049
01:49:37.560 --> 01:49:41.039
Ellison leaks threats to Adios California and jump to a
2050
01:49:41.079 --> 01:49:45.239
friendlier red jurisdiction. Today's twenty one minute case management conference
2051
01:49:45.279 --> 01:49:48.960
before Martinez Olgoon had some other topics on the agenda too.
2052
01:49:49.520 --> 01:49:51.399
And this is just a little bit of the extra
2053
01:49:51.439 --> 01:49:54.399
stuff that we don't need to get into. So this
2054
01:49:54.479 --> 01:49:57.800
is what you're looking at when you're looking at this merger.
2055
01:49:57.920 --> 01:50:00.600
It is massive. It is going to cost a shit
2056
01:50:00.720 --> 01:50:04.199
ton of money. People will lose jobs, A lot of
2057
01:50:04.239 --> 01:50:07.479
the money will go to a number of places, not
2058
01:50:07.800 --> 01:50:12.680
to California, and so this will be a real bad
2059
01:50:12.720 --> 01:50:16.319
situation all around for the city and for La County
2060
01:50:16.359 --> 01:50:19.199
and for the state. And this is what we're talking
2061
01:50:19.199 --> 01:50:21.920
because they're saying, well, thirty films, thirty films, look at
2062
01:50:21.920 --> 01:50:25.000
our slate coming out next year. They did the analysis
2063
01:50:25.199 --> 01:50:28.079
and looked at the background in those films. Only one
2064
01:50:28.119 --> 01:50:30.239
of the films coming out from Paramoun next year where
2065
01:50:30.239 --> 01:50:32.319
they're crying about all the films they're putting out next year,
2066
01:50:32.720 --> 01:50:36.279
only one of those films was made in La What
2067
01:50:37.199 --> 01:50:40.680
out of all those films, And they just broke ground
2068
01:50:41.520 --> 01:50:46.880
on a new studio space in England broke ground not they,
2069
01:50:47.640 --> 01:50:49.960
I guess, opened, not broke ground in terms of starting
2070
01:50:50.000 --> 01:50:55.800
construction like open. So what is to keep them from
2071
01:50:55.920 --> 01:50:58.720
shooting films in England where they can get bigger tax
2072
01:50:58.760 --> 01:51:02.479
breaks then staying in La. This idea that they will
2073
01:51:02.520 --> 01:51:06.399
put thirty billion dollars in the economy is utter bullshit,
2074
01:51:06.840 --> 01:51:10.439
utter horseship. I don't believe any of this at all.
2075
01:51:11.319 --> 01:51:14.560
What they're saying is just anything to get people to
2076
01:51:14.600 --> 01:51:21.840
approve this merger because they want to in essence, rape
2077
01:51:21.840 --> 01:51:24.479
those countries, those companies for as much money as they
2078
01:51:24.520 --> 01:51:28.399
can make you see that happening in the White House
2079
01:51:28.439 --> 01:51:31.119
now with the guy in charge, right, you see what
2080
01:51:31.199 --> 01:51:33.920
he is doing to all of us here in the
2081
01:51:33.920 --> 01:51:37.079
country and the money he's pocketing off these griffs and
2082
01:51:37.119 --> 01:51:43.399
these corp corrupt actions. You think the Allisons are gonna
2083
01:51:43.439 --> 01:51:45.399
be No, we're gonna do the right thing. We're gonna
2084
01:51:45.439 --> 01:51:48.000
be nice to everybody. We're not gonna we're gonna make
2085
01:51:48.039 --> 01:51:51.039
sure nobody gets fired. We're gonna do the right thing.
2086
01:51:51.039 --> 01:51:53.319
We're gonna take it step by step, and they don't
2087
01:51:53.319 --> 01:51:56.439
give a fuck. These are corporate raiders, man, and that's
2088
01:51:56.439 --> 01:51:59.880
what they're going to do. So living in this fan
2089
01:52:00.159 --> 01:52:02.199
to see land that they're going to put out thirty
2090
01:52:02.239 --> 01:52:04.600
movies a year and all of them or a majority
2091
01:52:04.600 --> 01:52:06.359
of them are going to be shot in LA for
2092
01:52:06.439 --> 01:52:10.680
the economy is nonsense. They're saying all of this stuff
2093
01:52:10.720 --> 01:52:13.079
so they can get it approved, and then later they're
2094
01:52:13.079 --> 01:52:15.239
going to go back on all their promises, just like
2095
01:52:15.479 --> 01:52:20.600
all these big billionaires do in every situation when they
2096
01:52:20.640 --> 01:52:25.000
lie about everything from data centers to corporate takeovers to
2097
01:52:26.000 --> 01:52:28.760
coming in to be friendly with the cities to do business.
2098
01:52:29.439 --> 01:52:32.600
They promise all this shit and in the end they
2099
01:52:32.600 --> 01:52:36.079
don't follow regulations, they don't follow rules, they throw money out.
2100
01:52:36.239 --> 01:52:40.920
They have high end and brutal lawyers who will do
2101
01:52:41.000 --> 01:52:43.800
the most horrific things to people in order to make
2102
01:52:43.840 --> 01:52:46.359
sure the company is protected, and the same thing will
2103
01:52:46.359 --> 01:52:50.119
happen here. I mean, please don't buy this nonsense. David
2104
01:52:50.119 --> 01:52:53.279
Ellison is going to be the savior of Hollywood. Bullfucking shit.
2105
01:52:53.720 --> 01:52:57.600
It's all about pocketing as much money as possible from
2106
01:52:57.640 --> 01:53:01.319
the productions they're making and screwing over LA. I mean,
2107
01:53:01.640 --> 01:53:06.159
why would a red friendly, red state friendly guy be
2108
01:53:06.279 --> 01:53:10.159
like nice to La. Bullshit. It's all about pocketing the
2109
01:53:10.199 --> 01:53:14.920
money and fleecing the city, the county, and the state
2110
01:53:15.520 --> 01:53:18.600
for as much as possible and laughing in their faces
2111
01:53:19.199 --> 01:53:23.600
with their Red state billionaire buddies sitting back having cigars
2112
01:53:23.600 --> 01:53:26.880
with Trump. That's I mean, that's essentially what this is
2113
01:53:26.920 --> 01:53:29.199
all lining up to be. Now. I know he's produced
2114
01:53:29.239 --> 01:53:31.640
other films and all that, he has a track record,
2115
01:53:31.680 --> 01:53:34.359
all that shit, But this is playing with the big boys,
2116
01:53:34.840 --> 01:53:37.960
and I think he wants the status of having this
2117
01:53:38.079 --> 01:53:43.159
massive studio. But I mean, look at what's going on
2118
01:53:43.239 --> 01:53:47.800
with all of these billionaires taking over places and seeing
2119
01:53:47.800 --> 01:53:50.359
what's happening. You know, the tariffs are like Karen put
2120
01:53:50.399 --> 01:53:54.359
in there where I live in Vegas, it's dying here. Yes, absolutely.
2121
01:53:55.119 --> 01:53:57.880
I was in Vegas for CinemaCon, driving around Vegas, and
2122
01:53:57.920 --> 01:54:01.560
I was like, what the fuck? There is nobody here.
2123
01:54:02.279 --> 01:54:05.239
I was able to walk the streets of Vegas without
2124
01:54:05.279 --> 01:54:08.560
feeling like I'm in a cattle cart. Now, I loved
2125
01:54:08.600 --> 01:54:11.960
it because I like space. But that isn't the Vegas
2126
01:54:12.000 --> 01:54:15.399
I remember. And so you know, you see it happening
2127
01:54:15.479 --> 01:54:17.680
in a number of areas. And what the debt hit
2128
01:54:17.760 --> 01:54:23.119
forty trillion just a few days ago, yesterday, forty trillion,
2129
01:54:23.760 --> 01:54:28.039
and they're all out here like Jan Brady, It's Biden, Biden, Biden.
2130
01:54:28.279 --> 01:54:31.439
That's all they're saying for two years now. And it's like, bitch,
2131
01:54:31.560 --> 01:54:34.920
own what you're doing. And so Allison comes from that
2132
01:54:35.000 --> 01:54:37.000
crop of people. And if you think he's gonna be
2133
01:54:37.039 --> 01:54:39.960
like good to the people work in these movie studios
2134
01:54:39.960 --> 01:54:44.520
and adhere to the thirty films a year and do
2135
01:54:44.760 --> 01:54:48.239
most of them in LA, you're crazy. It's not a
2136
01:54:49.319 --> 01:54:51.760
total lie, total utter lie. In my opinion, I don't
2137
01:54:51.760 --> 01:54:56.399
think it's true at all. All Right, So I've been
2138
01:54:56.399 --> 01:54:58.199
going on or on about that. Let me get out
2139
01:54:58.199 --> 01:55:02.079
of all of these windows, because we've talked about a
2140
01:55:02.119 --> 01:55:04.039
lot of this stuff. Someone asked if I already talked
2141
01:55:04.039 --> 01:55:08.279
about the Crato stuff. Yes, I did. Um what is
2142
01:55:08.319 --> 01:55:11.239
this the bob cha pick? Oh yeah, oh yeah, this
2143
01:55:11.319 --> 01:55:24.359
is another thing too. Where is it? Where is it? Okay?
2144
01:55:24.359 --> 01:55:27.279
So this is from I think this is belanieah Bellanie.
2145
01:55:28.039 --> 01:55:30.520
This report he wrote a couple of days ago. I
2146
01:55:30.520 --> 01:55:33.720
think where's oh yeah, six days ago, he said. My
2147
01:55:33.840 --> 01:55:36.479
emails and dms have been filled with disbelief that Ellison
2148
01:55:36.520 --> 01:55:39.359
would leverage the lifestyles and family connections of so many
2149
01:55:39.399 --> 01:55:43.319
employees as collateral in illegal war. I don't know why
2150
01:55:43.359 --> 01:55:47.279
people are in disbelief about this. Never trust any of
2151
01:55:47.319 --> 01:55:50.399
these billionaires. They don't give a fuck a bouch. They
2152
01:55:50.520 --> 01:55:52.680
just want to make money off the backs of you
2153
01:55:53.039 --> 01:55:56.560
because they think they're elite. They think that they have
2154
01:55:56.760 --> 01:56:00.800
the special gene that you don't have, the worker be
2155
01:56:01.159 --> 01:56:04.399
they're the queen. You work for them. They don't give
2156
01:56:04.439 --> 01:56:07.439
a fuck about you. That's the truth. So these people.
2157
01:56:08.640 --> 01:56:12.079
I love humanity, right, but I think human beings are
2158
01:56:12.119 --> 01:56:16.640
sometimes too good because they think people won't do the
2159
01:56:16.680 --> 01:56:21.680
things that they will do for money, and these billionaires
2160
01:56:21.800 --> 01:56:26.159
will do anything and fuck over anyone for money. I
2161
01:56:26.319 --> 01:56:30.279
was not surprised that he was willing to uproot a
2162
01:56:30.319 --> 01:56:33.119
bunch of families. Fuck their kids being in schools that
2163
01:56:33.159 --> 01:56:36.960
they love, Fuck their houses that they're you know, doing
2164
01:56:36.960 --> 01:56:39.920
well and living and establishing and putting roots down. Fuck
2165
01:56:39.960 --> 01:56:42.319
all that. Now you've got to move to Austin, or
2166
01:56:42.319 --> 01:56:44.720
now you've got to move to Nashville, or now you've
2167
01:56:44.720 --> 01:56:47.479
got to move God forbid to somewhere in Florida. Like
2168
01:56:47.560 --> 01:56:51.560
it's those kinds of things that you see. And I
2169
01:56:51.560 --> 01:56:53.880
don't mean God forbid Florida in terms of like I
2170
01:56:53.880 --> 01:56:56.640
don't think it's a bad stay. I love Tallahassee, and
2171
01:56:56.640 --> 01:56:58.439
there are places that the cities I love there, but
2172
01:56:58.720 --> 01:57:02.960
places in Florida that are super red. God forbid, right,
2173
01:57:03.039 --> 01:57:05.159
But he doesn't care about that shit because he doesn't.
2174
01:57:05.439 --> 01:57:08.279
And I think his moves that he's that stupid op
2175
01:57:08.439 --> 01:57:10.760
ed PC. He wrote in the ny Times when he
2176
01:57:10.840 --> 01:57:13.760
was like, you know, they're making it political bullshit. You
2177
01:57:13.840 --> 01:57:16.279
got CNN, you made it political. That's what you wanted.
2178
01:57:16.520 --> 01:57:19.359
Stop lying. And then the other stuff of like threatening
2179
01:57:19.399 --> 01:57:22.199
to move out, then the one point eight billion dollar bond,
2180
01:57:22.239 --> 01:57:25.399
which apparently they've got to wait till September twenty fourth
2181
01:57:25.399 --> 01:57:28.840
for the judge to make a full judgment on that.
2182
01:57:29.159 --> 01:57:33.359
He wants the taxpayers to fund the ticking fee that
2183
01:57:33.439 --> 01:57:37.000
he agreed to in the deal with Warner Brothers. The
2184
01:57:37.039 --> 01:57:39.800
taxpayers didn't tell him to agree to that, but he
2185
01:57:39.840 --> 01:57:42.600
wants the taxpayers to do it because these ag state
2186
01:57:42.640 --> 01:57:47.920
ags are launching this lawsuit and stopping him from stopping
2187
01:57:47.960 --> 01:57:50.520
this NEPO baby from getting his new toy. That's what
2188
01:57:50.560 --> 01:57:52.760
it's all about. And so to me, this is what's
2189
01:57:52.800 --> 01:57:55.439
frustrating when you watched this stuff, and I wish more
2190
01:57:55.479 --> 01:57:58.680
people would fight back against this. I wish more people
2191
01:57:58.680 --> 01:58:01.720
would stand up and fight back against this stuff that
2192
01:58:01.800 --> 01:58:04.760
everyone is so on their phones. You know, That's why
2193
01:58:04.760 --> 01:58:09.680
I love Generation Alpha. Generation Alpha fights. Generation Alpha gets
2194
01:58:09.680 --> 01:58:12.880
in the pit. Generation Alpha doesn't mind calling you out
2195
01:58:12.920 --> 01:58:17.039
to your face. Generation Alpha's out there confronting ice and
2196
01:58:17.079 --> 01:58:22.079
confronting police officers and confronting people doing bad things. They're
2197
01:58:22.079 --> 01:58:24.880
confronting the people doing bad things, and I appreciate that.
2198
01:58:25.520 --> 01:58:28.399
We need more of that. I wish there was more
2199
01:58:28.439 --> 01:58:32.600
of that. So two separate Paramount executives told Matt bellanie
2200
01:58:32.600 --> 01:58:35.600
they quit rather than relocate. A known screenwriter text that
2201
01:58:35.640 --> 01:58:37.880
he'd never pitched the studio again if it leaves town.
2202
01:58:38.279 --> 01:58:42.439
A film student messaged that he'd crossed Paramount off his
2203
01:58:42.520 --> 01:58:45.119
wish list for potential entry level assistant job because the
2204
01:58:45.119 --> 01:58:48.079
company might move so far from the credited community. Who
2205
01:58:48.079 --> 01:58:52.119
wants to join? Remember in twenty twenty one, and Disney's
2206
01:58:52.119 --> 01:58:55.399
a CEO, Bob Chapik, announced that two thousand Imaginary employees
2207
01:58:55.439 --> 01:58:58.760
would be shifted to Florida because of its business friendly climate.
2208
01:58:59.159 --> 01:59:02.680
Tons left the jobs, many more complaint and then Disney
2209
01:59:02.760 --> 01:59:06.079
canceled the move after Jpek was fired. That's the thing.
2210
01:59:06.520 --> 01:59:08.359
So it's super important to be a part of this
2211
01:59:08.359 --> 01:59:11.680
stuff and be aware of this stuff and see what's
2212
01:59:11.720 --> 01:59:15.119
going on here. So yeah, that's the thing. Oh, hold on,
2213
01:59:15.119 --> 01:59:21.039
I'm getting a text from my lady. Hold on, might
2214
01:59:21.079 --> 01:59:25.920
be dinner time. What is up on? Sorry? I have
2215
01:59:25.920 --> 01:59:33.319
to check base, touch base with the lady. What is it? Uh? So, yeah,
2216
01:59:33.359 --> 01:59:35.960
So I just wanted to make sure you all had
2217
01:59:36.439 --> 01:59:38.199
you know, full of picture of all this stuff that's
2218
01:59:38.239 --> 01:59:42.119
going on here. So all right, so let's get out
2219
01:59:42.119 --> 01:59:47.319
of all of these Uh I think maybe I should
2220
01:59:47.359 --> 01:59:52.039
just answer. Oh, one thing here I want to say,
2221
01:59:52.079 --> 01:59:54.399
which is pretty great for those who don't know. Speaking
2222
01:59:54.439 --> 01:59:59.319
of transparency, here are the Lanterns numbers. Lanterns pulls in
2223
01:59:59.439 --> 02:00:01.920
nine points three million viewers in its first three days
2224
02:00:02.279 --> 02:00:06.159
on HBO Max. That's pretty amazing. It represents the biggest
2225
02:00:06.159 --> 02:00:08.239
premiere for a DC Studio show on HBO Max to
2226
02:00:08.359 --> 02:00:10.560
date and one of the top five premieres on the
2227
02:00:10.560 --> 02:00:14.479
platform overall. Ever. Per HBO, the show pulled in six
2228
02:00:14.479 --> 02:00:16.119
point six million views in the US alone in the
2229
02:00:16.119 --> 02:00:18.800
three day timeframe, compared comparison to the premiere of The
2230
02:00:18.840 --> 02:00:21.720
Penguin drew ten point four million viewers across all platforms
2231
02:00:21.720 --> 02:00:23.279
after and that's to be fair. That's connected to The
2232
02:00:23.319 --> 02:00:27.199
Batman after eleven days when it was launch in twenty
2233
02:00:27.239 --> 02:00:29.359
twenty four. And while not a DC show, all the
2234
02:00:29.359 --> 02:00:31.439
recent hits like it Welcome to Dary hit five point
2235
02:00:31.520 --> 02:00:35.000
seven million viewers in its first three days last year.
2236
02:00:35.199 --> 02:00:39.119
So pretty amazing stuff there. Congratulations, congratulations to the Lanterns.
2237
02:00:39.439 --> 02:00:41.960
I imagine that number is going to be higher after
2238
02:00:42.000 --> 02:00:44.640
the second episode because now people are talking about it,
2239
02:00:44.680 --> 02:00:49.800
people are excited about it. So that's the situation. Let's
2240
02:00:49.840 --> 02:00:51.680
see one last thing. Was there anything else I was
2241
02:00:51.680 --> 02:00:53.920
going to talk about? Because I'm running out of time here.
2242
02:00:54.000 --> 02:00:57.119
Unfortunately these subjects took quite a lot of time to
2243
02:00:57.159 --> 02:01:01.399
go through. I'll save the rest for the hot mic
2244
02:01:01.520 --> 02:01:06.079
tomorrow and the geek Buddies coming up as well sometime today,
2245
02:01:06.319 --> 02:01:10.439
so we will see here, all right. So all right,
2246
02:01:10.520 --> 02:01:13.039
let's get to these stream labs and super chats because
2247
02:01:13.039 --> 02:01:15.800
I do got to get some dinner here. Thank you
2248
02:01:15.840 --> 02:01:17.920
everybody who sends stuff in whiles talking C. C. Black
2249
02:01:17.920 --> 02:01:20.039
Disney should all in with X Men Xavier mansion at
2250
02:01:20.079 --> 02:01:22.159
a park would be awesome. Could be a cash count
2251
02:01:22.199 --> 02:01:24.720
relate to the air generation. That's a great point. Yes,
2252
02:01:25.680 --> 02:01:29.000
X Men mansion would be so much fun at the park.
2253
02:01:29.640 --> 02:01:32.399
I'm trying to get into that roller coaster for Fast
2254
02:01:32.439 --> 02:01:37.079
and Furious at University. Tom Heffman, what's up? Tom says, Hey, Roca, Agreed,
2255
02:01:37.159 --> 02:01:39.920
you're putting in. Agreed, you're putting in the work. Any
2256
02:01:40.000 --> 02:01:42.680
chance you do a physical media collection video and pick
2257
02:01:42.720 --> 02:01:45.279
up videos every few months. I'm getting back into collecting
2258
02:01:45.319 --> 02:01:47.960
and I'd love to see what others have and the
2259
02:01:48.000 --> 02:01:51.399
stories behind them. Well, one sitting on my desk right
2260
02:01:51.439 --> 02:01:53.159
now some of you who have seen these already, but
2261
02:01:53.279 --> 02:01:58.560
over the weekend or the last few weeks rather, Barnes
2262
02:01:58.600 --> 02:02:02.600
and Noble had an video sale. So I picked up
2263
02:02:02.760 --> 02:02:08.479
Narc for fifty percent off, Weird Science for fifty percent
2264
02:02:08.520 --> 02:02:15.399
off in four K, True Romance for fifty percent off.
2265
02:02:16.479 --> 02:02:18.960
I have the ten percent discount. So I got Better
2266
02:02:19.000 --> 02:02:22.439
Off Dad for forty percent off on four K, and
2267
02:02:22.520 --> 02:02:23.840
I love Better Off Dead and I buy it on
2268
02:02:23.920 --> 02:02:26.000
four kicks. I love that movie. And the Abyss. Finally
2269
02:02:26.000 --> 02:02:28.960
got the Abyss in four K at fifty percent off
2270
02:02:29.039 --> 02:02:31.359
or really sixty percent off with the ten percent. So
2271
02:02:31.800 --> 02:02:34.000
that's the ones that I have. I have Conan, I
2272
02:02:34.000 --> 02:02:38.640
have Conan the Barbarian four K coming tomorrow, and I
2273
02:02:38.680 --> 02:02:43.239
will have ex Caliber four K coming next week, both
2274
02:02:43.239 --> 02:02:46.760
of those fifty percent off in the arrow sale, so
2275
02:02:46.800 --> 02:02:50.239
that is there. I also recently bought some Criterion, but
2276
02:02:50.279 --> 02:02:53.159
those are out in the garage. I got to move
2277
02:02:53.159 --> 02:02:56.720
those back into the room here. So that's what I'm buying.
2278
02:02:56.760 --> 02:02:58.880
So yes, I should do a video of all my stuff,
2279
02:02:58.880 --> 02:03:01.960
but I mean, I've got to create a massive I
2280
02:03:01.960 --> 02:03:04.079
think I'm gonna move everything over here, and I'm gonna
2281
02:03:04.119 --> 02:03:07.000
move the desk back against the wall and get some
2282
02:03:07.039 --> 02:03:10.800
smaller bookcases or I'm going to get like a green
2283
02:03:10.840 --> 02:03:13.279
screen whatever to do a bigger screen screen to do that,
2284
02:03:13.319 --> 02:03:15.680
so we'll see c C blocks. As it was announced,
2285
02:03:15.680 --> 02:03:17.880
Imman Vallani is doing a weekly count on a doomsday
2286
02:03:17.880 --> 02:03:20.640
podcast for the MCU starts August twenty seventh. Yes, I
2287
02:03:20.640 --> 02:03:24.680
saw that. It's with the Latino guy, what's his name,
2288
02:03:26.760 --> 02:03:29.800
Frank Alvarez. Frank Alvarez is doing it with her. I
2289
02:03:29.920 --> 02:03:34.159
listened to their one minute intro for it, so congratulations
2290
02:03:34.159 --> 02:03:36.720
to Frank and Imman Vallani is perfect. You want to
2291
02:03:36.720 --> 02:03:39.640
appeal to the young people, and Amon has already shown
2292
02:03:39.640 --> 02:03:41.960
that she knows a lot about com books, so it
2293
02:03:42.039 --> 02:03:43.720
makes all the sense in the world. I mean, we
2294
02:03:43.760 --> 02:03:46.520
should do something on the geek Buddies where we count
2295
02:03:46.560 --> 02:03:49.439
down or talk about the Avengers films. That would be
2296
02:03:49.520 --> 02:03:52.680
fun guests, says Angela. Bassett turned the roll down for
2297
02:03:52.720 --> 02:03:55.359
many reasons, and that storm was a glorified extra in
2298
02:03:55.399 --> 02:03:58.439
the film. I've never heard that. I don't know where
2299
02:03:58.479 --> 02:04:00.159
you're getting that from, but if you want to send
2300
02:04:00.199 --> 02:04:03.640
me a link, I've never heard that. And I followed
2301
02:04:03.640 --> 02:04:05.880
that shit like crazy. Back then, I've never heard that
2302
02:04:06.880 --> 02:04:09.319
versus Hi, John, what's up verse? Sorry for jumping in late.
2303
02:04:09.319 --> 02:04:11.960
I missed whether you already cover this the bribes. Ellison
2304
02:04:12.000 --> 02:04:15.239
promised thirty movies or pay the theaters penalties. He's literally
2305
02:04:15.239 --> 02:04:18.520
paying to secure approval. Oh yeah, no, listen. He absolutely
2306
02:04:18.560 --> 02:04:22.600
has greased the palms of these theater owners with this
2307
02:04:22.680 --> 02:04:27.399
thirty movie promise. And I think the theater owners want
2308
02:04:27.399 --> 02:04:30.439
to believe this bullshit because they don't want the industry
2309
02:04:30.479 --> 02:04:33.159
to go to a standstill. They want films to constantly
2310
02:04:33.159 --> 02:04:35.159
be coming out in their theaters, which I don't blame
2311
02:04:35.199 --> 02:04:38.159
them for their business. They want to keep theaters filled
2312
02:04:38.159 --> 02:04:41.000
with movies. I totally get it. I don't agree with
2313
02:04:41.039 --> 02:04:44.720
their positions, but I understand their positions right, And I
2314
02:04:44.760 --> 02:04:48.880
would not be surprised that there are some form of bribes,
2315
02:04:49.159 --> 02:04:52.399
not necessarily money changing hands, but promises not just with
2316
02:04:52.479 --> 02:04:55.680
theater owners but with some of these entertainment websites who
2317
02:04:55.720 --> 02:04:57.439
have all of a sudden popped up in favor of
2318
02:04:57.439 --> 02:05:01.680
the merger and some of these unions just saying. Burs
2319
02:05:01.720 --> 02:05:04.039
also says I never forget Netflix bowed out after meeting
2320
02:05:04.079 --> 02:05:10.000
with Trump's DOJ that's right. Yeah, what's his face? Sarandos said, yeah, no,
2321
02:05:10.079 --> 02:05:13.439
I'm good right. Fran says it's funny how the death
2322
02:05:13.439 --> 02:05:15.319
Theaters and Harry Potter are so much like the MAGA
2323
02:05:15.319 --> 02:05:17.479
and that they'll follow Voldy no matter how much he
2324
02:05:17.560 --> 02:05:20.560
hurts them, it will some of them. To be fair,
2325
02:05:20.680 --> 02:05:23.560
we've we're seeing more and more Republicans turning on Trump
2326
02:05:23.560 --> 02:05:26.800
and leaving the MAGA movement, and we're seeing quite a
2327
02:05:26.800 --> 02:05:30.399
few of the of the Trump choices losing in the primaries.
2328
02:05:30.439 --> 02:05:35.960
Andy ogles that Mills guy, and I think, honestly, if
2329
02:05:35.960 --> 02:05:39.920
the South, if South Carolinas, if the South Carolinians are
2330
02:05:39.960 --> 02:05:42.840
smart enough, they won't vote for Lindsey Graham's sister either.
2331
02:05:42.880 --> 02:05:46.600
Because she looked like a moron on that debate stage
2332
02:05:46.640 --> 02:05:49.920
and Hannity essentially trying to save her on his show
2333
02:05:50.000 --> 02:05:53.079
last night was ridiculous. You know, oh no, you know,
2334
02:05:53.159 --> 02:05:56.359
my people care about trans people in sports, even though
2335
02:05:56.359 --> 02:05:59.800
that's less than one percent happening in the world. They
2336
02:05:59.800 --> 02:06:02.319
can them a more about that than Taiwan. It's like,
2337
02:06:02.840 --> 02:06:05.199
it's the dumbest thing in the world to say, you know,
2338
02:06:05.680 --> 02:06:08.479
you know, I'm a yokul i don't understand taking pride
2339
02:06:08.479 --> 02:06:10.439
in that nonsense. You've got to care about what's going
2340
02:06:10.439 --> 02:06:14.880
on in the world because it does affect products, goods, import,
2341
02:06:14.960 --> 02:06:18.920
export prices. All of that shit is connected. This idea
2342
02:06:18.960 --> 02:06:20.520
that you don't need to know what's going on in
2343
02:06:20.520 --> 02:06:23.000
other countries or where the countries are located. If you're
2344
02:06:23.000 --> 02:06:27.239
a senator is some dumb ass shit. And if South
2345
02:06:27.399 --> 02:06:29.640
I hope so South Carolina is smart enough to go like,
2346
02:06:29.680 --> 02:06:33.520
we deserve better, we deserve better. So yeah, I hope
2347
02:06:33.520 --> 02:06:36.359
they do that all right? Any more? Stream laps Oh yes,
2348
02:06:36.399 --> 02:06:38.359
Phil says quick show of love for all boy Broka,
2349
02:06:38.439 --> 02:06:41.239
Thank you Phil. I hope WB never lawyers up versus
2350
02:06:41.279 --> 02:06:44.039
Hot Mind, Covid geek boy or the geek buddies. Also,
2351
02:06:44.319 --> 02:06:45.840
if we ever get to that point where were big
2352
02:06:45.920 --> 02:06:49.319
enough to be a lawyer, and I'd be happy. Also
2353
02:06:49.319 --> 02:06:51.720
a quick salute to the treasure days of the Outlaws.
2354
02:06:51.800 --> 02:06:55.359
Rewatched last first watch of the MCU on stereo. Love
2355
02:06:55.399 --> 02:06:58.000
that so much. Come on you Spurs dude, you guys
2356
02:06:58.000 --> 02:07:01.039
look good. I like the pick up you've made. I'm
2357
02:07:01.079 --> 02:07:03.239
sad Robo is going to be in a Tottenham shirt.
2358
02:07:03.479 --> 02:07:06.479
You might get Cody now too, but I like the
2359
02:07:06.520 --> 02:07:09.079
moves you've made. Man. That team looks very formidable. It
2360
02:07:09.159 --> 02:07:11.680
might surprise some people. No one's picking you guys in
2361
02:07:11.680 --> 02:07:14.199
the top five. I would not be surprised if you
2362
02:07:14.199 --> 02:07:16.239
guys find yourself in the top five. I think Deserve
2363
02:07:16.319 --> 02:07:17.840
is going to get a good coach for you guys
2364
02:07:17.840 --> 02:07:20.319
as well. What's up, Lulu says, hooray for the first
2365
02:07:20.359 --> 02:07:22.800
episode of The Truth this week? Thank you, Lulu, appreciate
2366
02:07:22.800 --> 02:07:26.119
you man much. Love Fantastic says that just because you
2367
02:07:26.199 --> 02:07:28.159
give in to the merger, it doesn't mean they won't
2368
02:07:28.199 --> 02:07:30.520
move anyway exactly, especially if they know how much it
2369
02:07:30.520 --> 02:07:33.520
can hurt at LA and California. We know how hateful
2370
02:07:33.560 --> 02:07:37.000
and vidictive this administration is. For sure, fight the good
2371
02:07:37.000 --> 02:07:41.039
fight and don't do a Shumer exactly. No more Shumers,
2372
02:07:41.079 --> 02:07:44.439
for fuck's sakes. We need to be done with Schumers.
2373
02:07:45.239 --> 02:07:48.520
Let's see, Is there anyone else that I missed here? No?
2374
02:07:48.800 --> 02:07:51.199
And then I think John sent one last one here.
2375
02:07:51.279 --> 02:07:53.720
John Lawllas says, h have you ever done crossover with
2376
02:07:53.720 --> 02:07:55.960
the hot mic? I could see Corey from Double Toasted
2377
02:07:56.000 --> 02:07:57.840
you and Jeff that would be funds to do. You're
2378
02:07:57.880 --> 02:08:00.560
so right, We've had Drew Taylor come on few times.
2379
02:08:00.760 --> 02:08:03.960
Christian's gonna come on to promote his Kickstarter down the road.
2380
02:08:04.000 --> 02:08:06.880
We should definitely get Corey from Double Toasted. I should
2381
02:08:06.880 --> 02:08:10.479
get Adam on from Heroes We Forged my Boy, Griffin
2382
02:08:10.479 --> 02:08:13.520
Schiller from Film Speak. I think we should definitely have
2383
02:08:13.560 --> 02:08:16.000
them on. I should do a better job of scheduling
2384
02:08:16.039 --> 02:08:18.680
those guys, you know, but there's so much of carrying guys,
2385
02:08:18.720 --> 02:08:22.680
So we will see. We will see, all right, I
2386
02:08:22.680 --> 02:08:24.399
think that's every I think I should go. We've gone
2387
02:08:24.399 --> 02:08:26.640
over two hours. I should get out of here, go
2388
02:08:26.680 --> 02:08:28.960
get some dinner. You guys are amazing. I'm sorry we
2389
02:08:29.000 --> 02:08:31.199
didn't get to everything I wanted to get to. I
2390
02:08:31.239 --> 02:08:33.760
think Indian Avarette definitely has a shot to be a
2391
02:08:33.840 --> 02:08:36.960
part of Heat two still while also doing the X
2392
02:08:36.960 --> 02:08:39.159
Men stuff. There's rumors she's going to take a smaller role,
2393
02:08:39.520 --> 02:08:41.479
so we'll see. And as far as the X Men stuff,
2394
02:08:41.560 --> 02:08:46.920
Charles Melton getting into the Nahuto movie for destin Daniel Cretton, listen,
2395
02:08:47.199 --> 02:08:49.600
you gotta get your bag. He's gonna get paid more
2396
02:08:49.640 --> 02:08:52.640
doing that than he would for Beast. It makes sense. However,
2397
02:08:53.199 --> 02:08:56.319
there may still be negotiating for Beastston Daniel Cretton directing
2398
02:08:56.520 --> 02:08:58.800
just directed Spider Man, so I don't think. I think
2399
02:08:59.000 --> 02:09:02.359
I think Marvel could make negotiate something to maybe have
2400
02:09:02.520 --> 02:09:05.039
him in both movies. We'll see. So I don't think
2401
02:09:05.119 --> 02:09:07.199
he's out of the running for Beast yet, but we'll see.
2402
02:09:07.239 --> 02:09:10.760
And we'll cover that more tomorrow with the with the
2403
02:09:10.800 --> 02:09:14.960
Hot Mic four PMPT. The Hot Mic Live four PMPT. Tomorrow.
2404
02:09:15.039 --> 02:09:16.840
I'll let you know about a Geek Buddy's episode when
2405
02:09:16.840 --> 02:09:19.239
I could lock down Mike and Shannon to record with
2406
02:09:19.239 --> 02:09:21.479
me over the next two days. So we'll see. All right,
2407
02:09:21.520 --> 02:09:24.800
Thank you, old guests, says the Route one twenty five. Okay,
2408
02:09:24.840 --> 02:09:26.199
I'll take a look at that. Thank you, Bud. I
2409
02:09:26.239 --> 02:09:28.760
appreciate it. All right. That's it. I got to get
2410
02:09:28.760 --> 02:09:30.520
on out of here. As I tell you guys at
2411
02:09:30.520 --> 02:09:32.920
the end of every one of my solo shows, please,
2412
02:09:33.199 --> 02:09:35.119
for the love of God, my friends. I know it's
2413
02:09:35.199 --> 02:09:37.479
tough out there. I had a pretty bad mental health
2414
02:09:37.560 --> 02:09:39.720
day a couple of days ago. I was recovering from
2415
02:09:39.720 --> 02:09:42.359
it yesterday. It can come at you from nowhere, y'all.
2416
02:09:42.399 --> 02:09:45.560
I mean I pretty much just I sat there feeling
2417
02:09:45.600 --> 02:09:50.079
pretty depressed most of Tuesday and was able to do
2418
02:09:50.199 --> 02:09:52.800
spill the tequila. But after before and after, I was
2419
02:09:52.840 --> 02:09:55.119
pretty much a mess. Yesterday I had a little bit
2420
02:09:55.159 --> 02:09:57.680
of ratifications, which is why I basically took the day off.
2421
02:09:58.039 --> 02:10:00.600
But I'm back today doing a show because I feel today.
2422
02:10:00.640 --> 02:10:02.760
So I get it. I've been there. I know what
2423
02:10:02.800 --> 02:10:04.439
it's like. So for any of you that are struggling,
2424
02:10:04.640 --> 02:10:06.279
I just tell you it happens to all of us
2425
02:10:06.319 --> 02:10:09.199
who have this stuff and have this condition, these mental
2426
02:10:09.279 --> 02:10:12.239
health issues. It's life. Unfortunately comes out of nowhere. It
2427
02:10:12.279 --> 02:10:14.359
can hit you first time in months. I've been in
2428
02:10:14.439 --> 02:10:16.880
a bad place about this stuff. So that's life. But
2429
02:10:16.920 --> 02:10:19.520
I'm telling you, I cheer for y'all, root for you.
2430
02:10:20.479 --> 02:10:24.199
I'm just telling you what have your tools, understand what
2431
02:10:24.199 --> 02:10:26.399
to do in those moments, and figure out whatever you
2432
02:10:26.439 --> 02:10:29.239
need to do to get through the next second, next minute,
2433
02:10:29.239 --> 02:10:33.119
next hour, next day, next week, next month, next year.
2434
02:10:34.520 --> 02:10:36.439
I want you to do that because I want you around,
2435
02:10:36.439 --> 02:10:37.880
I want you here. So many of you have been
2436
02:10:37.920 --> 02:10:40.479
with me for such a long time. Thank you so much.

and you think you can't make it. You're undefeated so far.
2452
02:11:18.560 --> 02:11:21.720
If you're still here, you're undefeated against the hard times
2453
02:11:21.760 --> 02:11:24.800
because you've made it out of those hard times every time.
2454
02:11:25.000 --> 02:11:27.520
So let that give you some inspiration. Let that give
2455
02:11:27.560 --> 02:11:29.960
you some hope and some power in your life. All right,
2456
02:11:30.199 --> 02:11:32.640
