sure that the show keeps going. But this wasn't the case here. And I'm wondering, could it also could something that has to do with it be because of Nicolas Cage? Because Nicolas Cage was I think I believe he was hesitant to do he's always been hesitant to do T V 'cause he's like, you know, he's he's a big movie guy, he's a movie star. So Julian: Yeah. Nick: I don't know if this is his first T V show ever. But like, you know, this is the definitely the first one he's done in a while. So maybe he just didn't want to do another season. he reacted to the cancellation saying, For me, one season is perfect, having said what I wanted to say with this dangerous, innovative pop art Spider Man, onwards, upwards and inwards. So like seems like he doesn't have a problem with it. Seems like he told the story enough of the story that he wanted to tell. So Julian: Maybe he didn't want to do it again. Yeah. So like there could be that, like where Nick were you Nick: Yeah. Julian: know, Prime is taking the taking the brunt taking it on the chin for Nick Cage, y you know, not wanting to do it. So there could be that. So that it which is also nice. You know, we love Nick Nick: Maybe, maybe, maybe. Yeah. Julian: Cage. If he doesn't want to do Spider Noir again or doesn't care to, hey, more power to you. And then now Nick: Yeah, that's cool. Julian: let's get to the before we get to our X Men casting, there was another deaf. other than Spider Noir, Mike Nick: Mm. yeah. Julian: MacFarlane and Mike McFarlane, for those who don't know, he's a voice actor, one piece, Dragon Ball Z. He did Masuroshi, for dub, you know, for a very long time. I forget who he is in for But Buggy, I think he's Buggy for One Piece. Buggy the Clown. Yeah, I think he's Nick: okay, buggy, buggy. Julian: Buggy the Clown for One Piece. And he also plays a character in Attack on Titan dub as well. So we're definitely gonna miss him. He died at fifty six. pretty young. Nick: Damn. Damn. Julian: So, I feel bad. I really liked him, Nick: Way too soon. Julian: you know, very too soon. Like one of my Nick: And it's Julian: favorite like anime my fault. I'm gonna let you go after this, but one of my favorite Nick: No, yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. Julian: anime, you know, lines comes from him and it's when he's master Roshi and it's in the power turn him to power and he's like, Listen to me, boys and then just goes into this whole monologue and it's crazy. And he ended up dying in the th w they make you think he dies. But like it was crazy. So that was I Nick: Damn, damn. Julian: think that's he's an amazing amazing voice actor, but, you know, God bless him. But Nick: Yeah. And this this doesn't make it any like, you know, obviously I'm not saying it y it it stings worse necessarily when a voice actor dies, but like just 'cause obvious acting as an art is kinda like this overall, but voice acting specifically, you could you could be voice acting like I feel like while you're in the hospital bed, like right

before you die. Like you could that's how Julian: Mm-hmm. Nick: long you could you could be a voice actor and still be like really, really good at your job. Julian: And r especially if you're just if if they can bring you the script and a mic and you just read Chef's kiss. Exactly. Nick: Mm-hmm. Like, come on now. So it you know, we lost lost another real one. It's been a rough it's been a rough few s few weeks here. You know, do we've been look people been dropping like flies out of Hollywood, but you know, we hate to see it, but we get you know, just gotta pay tribute to to what they did while they were alive. so so yeah. Julian: But so, quick question. Asa Germain, is that how you say his name? Nick: I think also German maybe? Something like is this Julian: German or Germain? German. Let's go with German. I said German. He's gonna be our new Yes. But Nick: 'Cause he's white. If it was if he was black, it'd be Germaine, but he's he's he's very white, so I think it's German. Julian: That's so funny. But he is our angel. X-Men's angel. Nick: Yep, yep. A new X-Men casting. We we f we have more of a of an idea of what this this first team is gonna look like. We already got Gene, Scott, Storm, Professor X, Angel, Julian: Yep. Beast. Nick: and not Beast yet. We don't I th I don't think we have Beast yet. Julian: yeah, 'cause he I think he pulled out of that. Yeah. Nick: but what was th there's somebody else that we're missing. Rogue and we have Rogue. so and Julian: Rogue. Yeah. Indy. Nick: Mr. Sinister obviously, but so yeah, the core the core team we got Gene Scott, Rogue and Angel. Gene Scott, Rogue, Angel. Julian: I wonder if we'll get a Iceman. Nick: I think and okay, th something a casting like this is making me think we're gonna they're gonna go kind of the Iceman route. We're gonna get so I you know, I'm Julian: That's what I think too. We haven't seen Iceman since the Fox one. Nick: Yep. Same and I the last one he was in was even he wasn't even in like the rebooted or like the the the throwback ones. Julian: Yeah. Nick: he was in, you know, the the last one he showed up in was Days of Future Past. So we haven't seen him in a while. Julian: Mm-hmm. And he died. Nick: Yep, yep, yep, got frozen. Or yeah, turned himself into Yeah, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. Got frozen. He's he he he got ice powers. I say he got frozen. I'm that's stupid, but Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. but Julian: And then I think his head got chopped off. Still ice, you look like an ice cube. Yeah, right, well, he froze himself and then and then lost his head. Nick: man. But yeah, yeah. So hopefully the ne maybe the next casting we hear is Bobby. I still think they got we gotta get Beast in there. Like I I I don't know. Like 'cause if you Yeah, it it maybe I don't Julian: I I th they're gonna have to. They're gonna just replace him. It's okay. Kakashi Sense's a better a better a better gig, I'm not gonna lie. Beast Kakashi Sense. Yeah, sorry. Nick: yeah. yeah yeah yeah yeah just find someone else. Find someone else. Cause bro, yeah, exactly. If Charles Melton, you you know, we've talked about this before, he made the right choice. If you had to choose between Julian: Re beer. Nick: Kakashi in the Naruto movie franchise or Yeah. Julian: Honey times out of a hundred, most people would have probably chose that. Nick: Yeah. Okay, okay, wait, here's my question. Is there a character Julian: Ninety, not hundred. Nick: Is there an X-Men character that you would rather play than Kakashi? Julian: Okay, for me Me or Charles Melton? Me. Okay. Cause if it's Nick: You for you. Like I mean like, you know. Julian: me, if it's me, they would probably make me play bishop. Nick: Fair. Okay, okay, you know, race race and everything barred, like just like you know, just cut and dry. Julian: All right, all right, all right, all right, all right. See what would I be able to do best though is my question. Like as far as acting goes. Like I I when you think about it for powers, like if I to pick powers, like I would I want to be storm, if I'm gonna be honest with you. Yeah, like that would Nick: true, true, true, true. Julian: be the sickest. Like if I had to choose and it was just there's nothing barring it, pfft, sorry, you're you guys are getting a black s a black male storm this time. Sorry. Nick: Yeah. Okay, yeah, fair. Yeah, yeah. Storm got a Storm got a sex change. Not not Julian: But like Nick: dead. Julian: that's what that how that would work out. But if I had to choose like out of the acting I think I could do a good Wolverine. And I think I would do a good night a night a great night crawler. Yeah. I I I Nick: really? I could low key I could I could see both of those in a in a in a different way. I feel like I could I could I could see Julian: Mm-hmm. Nick: I see the vision you say for both. Hmm. Julian: Yeah, 'cause like I can feel like I can feel out the ferociousness. I I got the snarl. I'm you're definitely gonna be hearing some animalistic sounds coming from me. I I'll say that. You'll hear me talk. Nick: yeah. No, yeah, yeah. Julian: But as far as, you know, I might have to grow out the mutton chops a little bit more. Yeah. Nick: No, yeah, get a get a little rugged with it, get a little, you know, a little grisly, and then if you're Kurt, you just, you know, clean everything up, put on the little Julian: yeah, just Nick: put on the little father, father fit, and Julian: Father. Nick: and then and then you get the get get working with the dialect coach on that accent. And then Julian: yeah. Nick: get get your sword training in, and then Julian: No. Nick: you're good. Okay, okay, okay, okay, forget the dialect coach. Shoot. He's already on the track. He's already on the track. But anyway, that I like the I like the casting. We we haven't even said Julian: yeah. Nick: that what's his acid German is from Gen V. so yeah, we know him Julian: Yeah, he is in Gen V. He is Nick: as what what was his name in Gen V? it was like like

Alex Julian: He was crazy. Nick: or something like that I don't know, I can't remember, but dude was Julian: Yeah. Nick: crazy. We definitely like in my he might Julian: He can fly, right? Or he no or does he just jump? Yeah, I think he could just jump really far. Yeah. Not definitely not Cody. Nick: He was just really strong. He was really strong and r and really nuts. Yeah, or maybe c I can't I can't remember. But but he I mean I'd say you said what? Julian: Definitely not Cody. Nick: no, no, no. I'd say between him and Marie and Gen V though, they probably give the bet like the strongest performances for me, just 'cause of all the crazy shit he he usually has to do. Julian: Yeah. And so and Marie was very good. Marie, you know, being the star, like w you know, Nick: Yeah, she killed it. Julian: she gre yeah, she killed it. She killed it great. They did a really good job. But and s okay, go ahead. Nick: Yeah. And no, go ahead. I was just gonna say it's gonna be cool to see him and like cause I haven't seen him in any other roles. I'm sure he has other ones, but it'd be it'll be cool to see him as like a normal dude. It like obviously he's still Julian: Yeah. Nick: he's still Angel, he's still a mutant, but like s with not something seriously wrong with his head. Like I mean that's true, that's true. Cause I mean, hey, if Julian: Well, de pe depends how they go with it, again. Depends how they go with it. Nick: or if if if Angel is being introduced, that just means horsemen are on the table. Julian: There does mean horsemen are on the table. It means apocalypse are on the table. That is exactly what that means. You're absolutely right. But Nick: So mm hmm. man. When I I don't I don't care how long I have to wait for a live action apocalypse movie, like one that's better than the Oscar Isaac one that we got. Julian: Alright now. Look here. I'll stand for that, but I liked it. Wasn't bad as bad. It was bad. Nick: I don't hate it. I don't hate I ha as in terms of an a a depiction of apocalypse, like Julian: Okay, the one there there were there could be better. You're right. Like Nick: You know, like I need I want Dwayne The Rock Johnson up in that jump, pl main okay, not literally, but you know what I mean? I need that frame in there playing apocalypse. You know? Oscar Isaac is what? Like he's like five seven? Like something like like bro. Julian: Yeah, you're right. Th the frame he Oscar We do need a k a a giant dude to play home. And he Nick: Yeah, I'm sorry. And I like Oscar Isaac. He's a great actor. Great actor. Like Julian: But not apocalypse. Moon Knight, yes. Moon Knight for sure. Nick: Yeah, I love facts. I'll take Moon Knight every day of the week. Give me more Moon Knight, please. But Ap Apocalypse? Julian: Please, we need that. But let's get into the new trailer for Avatar Seven Havens, which is gonna be about twins who are the Avatars now. And I don't know if they were separated by birth, but they both have one loses a leg and one loses an arm, if I'm correct. Is that right? Nick: yes. Or I wait, I don't honestly I don't know. I'm not sure. I'm not I'm not entirely sure. I guess let's Julian: Okay. Well, we'll get into it and find out. Nick: let's find out in this trailer real quick. let me share the screen. Julian: That thought that's what I've seen. Nick: Okay. Here we go. Julian: This is looking good. And this is like two hundred and thirty five years in the future also. Nick: Yes, yep, yep. Tough. Tough. Ooh. Nah, Julian: Sorry, that's geeky. That was funny. That part was really funny. Especially about the light loaders. Nick: literally, literally. I was a bro, cause I was always I was I l I always loved the white lotus for real. Like they were always, like, I don't know, something about them, they just had had aura to them. But that looks sick. That looks sick. I'm here for that. I'm gonna be like and I don't know, like Yep, we Julian: here for that all the way. October 9th we get that. That's not far. Nick: Less less than a month away. Less than a month away. We got new we got a new avatar show less than a month away. What a time, bruh. What a time. Especially after Julian: Bro, we're living in a great time. Nick: after you know the success and and and just like greatness that was Avatar Aang, the last airbender, kind of giving us our first real bit of Avatar content of a that's actually out of the original s you know kind of studio and people that made Avatar the Last Airbender. after that was so good and that kinda showed us, you know, where we're at now in terms of animation, in terms of the st the team that's making the story and all that. Now now seeing this trailer, I have so much more confidence in this, after seeing that movie just because I know like I know there's you know, there's there's it there's a good quality that's gonna be to it. I was skeptical about the whole distant future thing at first, just because And okay, think about this. Here's my question, right? So you said so like the they said it's 225 years in the future, right? Julian: Mm-hmm. Nick: If they if it's 225 years in the future, then Korra couldn't have been the last Avatar, right? Julian: That's what I was thinking to myself too, unless something happened. That's that 'cause Nick: Okay, but Julian: that was confused me as well. Nick: Yeah. Th okay, but think about it like this. What if so we see we see Korra when we hear that she like doomed the the earth or whatever w in the before she died. So let's say she died, the next avatar reincarnates into somebody else, and then from that point to where we're at now, like who I you know, there was that person on the stage, the lady being like, you know, like anybody who's hiding the avatar, who helps the avatar Julian: Yeah. Nick: or like whatever. Like maybe sh they since Korra died, they've been just like Rounding up and like keeping the Avatar prisoner so that that doesn't happen again. And then so like Julian: And they keep killing him.

Nick: yeah, or may they can may I don't know, maybe they keep killing them or maybe they just hold them there for their whole life. You know, but like but I don't Julian: They probably they probably hold yeah, probably hold them there and then Nick: know, that's also dangerous because it's like what if they learn how to control, you know, their elements and shit. But I know. But either way, it's it's interesting, huh? Julian: But th but then again what if you don't ever tell though? But yeah, that's they would have to fit have a way to be able to tell. Nick: Nah, right. Not exactly. Like, I mean, maybe Julian: Like Nick: it's just like as soon as they as soon it's like a almost like a global mandate or like understanding. Like as soon as you realize like someone is might be the avatar, you like report them or like you like, you know, so we can bring him in and Julian: Yeah. You turn the man. Nick: yeah, make sure this doesn't happen again. But what did Cora do? What could she have possibly and I'm not gonna lie, she did a lot of questionable things in her own show. But like we don't let Yep, yep. Julian: Well, the spirit world, like that stuff, like so we're gonna have we're gonna have to see. Nick: Brought the spirit world into the normal world. They she merged the two. Like, she she ended the avatar. man, let me not. spoil nothing for nobody that ain't been there, but golly. yeah, so that looks great. That looks great. The animation looks really good. and I like also like like probably my last thing. I I like that they're starting them as kids, kinda like we did with Aang. and so like whether we get the show every year, maybe every other probably every year, I'm hoping, then like we can kind of grow up with them a little bit, like kinda like how we did with Aang. So Julian: Mm-hmm. That'd be cool. Nick: Yeah. And we did that with Cora, but like she was already a teenager, so like her growing up was just her become becoming a young woman. Julian: So yeah. Mm-hmm. Nick: so so yeah. But that looks Julian: I think it'll be good. Nick: that looks really good. next up on the trailer Docket, we got a new trailer for Godzilla Minus Zero. And boy, boy, I'm excited. I'm excited for this one. I am excited for this one. Julian: This trailer's gonna be great because they filmed this for IMAX and Nick: And I was just about to say, yep. Julian: yeah, they filmed it for IMAX so that they can you can get the true scale of a kaiju attack and how f like it truly scary it is. Nick: Come on now. Come on now. No better time to put Godzilla in IMAX than when they're cooking with the minus one right now. Okay, so Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm God God Okay I liked the trailer I really liked it My only concern Julian: Go ahead, give it to I know you're gonna say it. Nick: W yeah. The the the Ghidorah, okay? So they came out and said the Ghidorah was gonna be in this movie, which for those that don't know Godzilla lore, the Ghidorah is like this three headed dragon, you know, alien monster thing, right? So are we going to and I'm sure it's gonna be tough. I'm sure the action is gonna be crazy, like whatever. Are we going to go down the same route of the American made Godzilla movies? Where Godzilla now we now have to help Godzilla face off against a stronger monster or whatever, and Godzilla now becomes a good guy. Because what I loved about the first movie, about Godzilla minus one, is that Godzilla is the and is full on the antagonist the whole time. There's no sympathizing with him. Yeah, he's tough, but like he's he's straight up killing all like towns, he's killing full full cities of people, bro. He's the villain. So like now are we gonna end up rooting for Godzilla? Is that where they're going with this? Julian: I don't think so. I think that they're just gonna be two big bads now. That hate each other but also hate us. Nick: If that's the case. Give it to me now. Put it in my veins immediately. I hope you're right, Jules. I hope you're right. Julian: I hope so because like if they do go that route, we've seen the story, but like I think they're gonna have Gajira come down like from space already. Like ain't gonna be he he was here millions of years ago and they fought all way back when. It's gonna be, no, he he fell in he fell and Godzilla tried to fight him and now we're here. So Nick: Mm, mm. I I could see that. I could see that. Julian: We'll see. We'll see how they go. But clearly Nick: Yeah. Julian: it picked it like he's probably about the biggest monster that could fly Godzilla somewhere and drop him. So we'll have to see. We'll have to see. Nick: Right, right. Yeah. And especially with I think in the first one they said that like Maybe I'm just I think I'm just getting all my Godzilla movies mixed up just because like there's so much so much like so many different backstories that go along with it and stuff. And I I I can't remember what they said in the last one. I need to rewatch it before the next one comes out. But But but yeah, that was a really good trailer. it comes out on November sixth in theaters, November sixth. yeah, so like we said it's gonna be an IMAX. So try to see it in IMAX if you can. but yeah. On to our next trailer. We have the new trailer for Mike Flanagan's Carrie series. Jules, have you heard anything about this about this this carry series? Julian: anything about the series but obviously I've seen the movie. I've seen the old one, Nick: Mm-hmm. Julian: seen the new one, seen the other new one. Nick: Mm-hmm. Julian: They they're all pretty good. The first one's pretty great. S we'll we'll probably Nick: Yeah. Yep. Yeah, the yeah, OG OG is pretty good. Julian: be talking about that in more in depth closer to spooky season for all the listeners. Nick: yeah, definitely, definitely. And I like that it's g it's coming out October seventh on Prime, so it's a nice spooky season release, which we love. Julian: Mm-hmm. Nick: but do you know anything about Mike Flanagan? Julian: No, Nick.

Inform me. Nick: He you you probably know of him from another thing you might know him from. He is a little he he wrote a little script, script for a little movie coming out also this October called Clayface. He wrote the script for Clayface and Julian: Mmm. So it's it's it's gonna be dark and it's gonna be good because Clayface is supposed to be a horror film for those or who are listening. Nick: Mm-hmm. And and yeah, yeah. And and and the the reason he's getting all these all you know, all these big name movies th that he's writing behind, directing behind, is because he also did is res is behind the haunting of Hill House, for anybody who's seen that. Yes, he wrote he wrote that. I don't I think he directed that as well. so Julian: That was good. That was good. That's really good. Nick: yeah, and I that's like probably probably one of the best and most well received Netflix shows of all time, I'd say. especially in the horror category. So he got his he's you know he's proven his horror chops and we're about to see what this trailer is gonna look like. Yep. Let's Julian: Well I don't know. Let's see. Let's see what it is. Nick: let do it. Mm. Mm. Mm. Mm. Ooh. Ooh, I see that. And like my first thought is Carrie taking place like in 2026. Like she she might do some some worse worse shit than she did in the original movie. Cause bro, being being being at school in 2026 as a as a teen and being in high school in 2026, are you kidding me? With in the in the age of AI and and f everybody on their phones all the time and da da da da like this movie came out in like the eighties. And we now we got Carrie we got Carrie you Julian: Mm-hmm. Nick: know, dealing with dealing with with cyber bullying, Julian: Cyberbullying Nick: you know, type type stuff. Like, Julian: That reminds me of Cyberbully back in the day, but like this is gonna get obviously way worse. Way, way worse. Yeah, no, this is gonna get grizzly. Nick: no, yeah, different vibe than that, but hey, we're we could we could get w she's yeah. But now it just opens the door for more more rage. Like cause n we saw the shot of her getting hit by the volleyball. Mm-hmm. Exactly. Julian: they're just gonna connect it to our stuff now. They're gonna connect it to what our youth we're gonna be scared of. This is gonna terrify the kids. Putting it out there. This is gonna be the Nick: yeah. yeah. Julian: next bully movie almost. Nick: We gonna get rid Percy, Percy in the back Percy Julian: But where's he at? Nick: curled up right there. Shout out Perse. Shout out Perse. Julian: That's what it shout out, Percy. Percy is Sea Smoke Bennett. But Nick: Ha ha ha. Julian: let that being said, let's go into our last trailer of the day, for Night Shyamalan's Remains, starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Phoebe DeNaber, our Dinaber, however you say that. Sorry if I butchered it. Which is a thriller that Nick: Yeah, I'm not sure how you say that. Julian: follows a man who moves to a coastal town and is pulled into a deadly mystery by a supernatural woman. Nick: Ooh more spooky season. Julian: Where have we seen something supernatural? Like a supernatural woman? I would say I'm I'm gonna just come out and say I'm thinking about a possession but I wonder if we're gonna have if if there's gonna be some, you know, there's that person's not right moments. Nick: Mm, mm. Okay. Okay. Julian: Now granted, in obsession, that character was being forced to do all that by like the make the wish thing that the guy made, who's a crappy dude Nick: Yes. Julian: or evil person for that. But nonetheless, boom, let's run it. Let's see what it's about. Nick: Let's run it. I love some Nice Shyamalan twisty Julian: Mm-hmm. Nick: shit. Julian: Old. Nick: Yep, old, shadow old. Julian: Mm mm. That's gonna be good. I'm taking fine to see that. That's gonna be great. That's Nick: Interesting, interesting, interesting, interesting. Julian: gonna be great because look, I told you there was gonna be some obsession stuff. So did you s peep this the silhouette part? Nick: Which part? Like the silhouette w of her? Or of in the in the in the curtain? In the curtain? Yeah. Julian: Well them d yes, them using that. Yes, them using that like how, you know, when when he was asleep and she woke up and he's just like, I just like watching you sleep Nick: yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. But in that but in the curtain she just wasn't she she was a it flashed and she wasn't there. So I'm that's I'm confused. Like Julian: She wasn't there. She wasn't there. Yeah, no that like is my man is crazy or she's a witch or something, I don't know. Nick: Yeah, okay, so if they if in the the plot line they tell us that she is like supernatural in some way, right? So like this in the obviously this isn't this is an Line Shyamalan movie, whatever we think going in is probably not what it seems fully. You know, you know, we're not gonna be able to guess this necessarily. But it looks Julian: It's we're not gonna be y yeah. And then we might not even get an answer. Nick: right, no, exact exactly. Even the guesses we do have might not might not ever get answered. But but Is it it seems like it's like, like maybe she like puts some like hex or charm on him to where like he thinks that he's with her or s Julian: All he is seeing is her right now. Nick: I don't I don't yeah, or I don't I don't know, I don't know, but hey. Julian: 'Cause it's it's remained, so like I I'm gonna take it like from that. Like what if what if it's like Nick: Mm. Julian: like alright, like she hex like what if it's like dead wife whose witch hexes him, duh like Nick: That oooo oo Julian: you're going to remain alone or something like that, or some some crazy stuff. Like or like Nick: Ooh I knew I wasn't even th I was thinking more like okay, dead wife and she like wants to like leave a a part of her behind just to remain with him so they can stay together type but I like that better. I like no, I like that better. I Julian: That works too.

That works too. Nick: like that better. I like that better. He she said, nah, you ain't you ain't you ain't moving on. The hell? What? Julian: Yeah, right? Like and so which is why Valentine's Day Nick: Ay, ay, ay. Julian: If I call this hold on, what date is it? It's 9 11. If I call this from 9 11, 2026, and we get that on Valentine's Day, 2027, February 14th, dude. Nick: Whoo, you might you I think Julian: That might be my bill. Nick: you might have just cooked. I think you might have just cooked, I'm not gonna lie. Like and obviously that doesn't give away the whole movie or anything like that, but still it's like that's I think that's major. I think that's I think that's major. Ooh, because that's one of those moments, like finding that out, I feel like that's like gonna be like a shoe dropping almost. Hope hopefully. But we again we don't know. We don't know. We're just we're just we're just speculating. But I like that. I like that theory. Julian: We don't know. We don't know. But we're we'll find out. We'll find out and we'll you know. And come ba come back here to check f February fourteenth and we'll have an answer for you guys. Best believe. Nick: Yeah, yeah. For show, for show, for show. All right. And then for our last or or next piece of news, so Netflix has announced that they will begin reporting box office numbers for six upcoming movies they are giving theatrical releases. The six movies are as follows Inc., Narnia, La Bola Negra, The Mosquito Ball, Charlie vs The Chocolate Factory and the Further Misadventures of Cliff Booth. we've talked about Charlie versus the Chocta Chocolate Factory on the show before. I believe it comes out in twenty twenty late twenty twenty seven or something like that. and then the f the further misadventures of Cliff Booth comes out I think in October or November of this year. And then the Greta Gerwig's Narnia movie comes out January or February of next year. So you know, Netflix notoriously known for yeah for their CEO Ted Serandis, I believe. claiming that people don't even want to go to the theaters anymore, everybody wants to stay at home and stream, da da da blase blase is now putting Netflix officially into the theater box office game and you know and like you know, putting all these movies in theaters before hitting Netflix, giving them an actual window to perform and then afterwards reporting those box office numbers. So what do you think? It's pretty interesting, you know? Julian: That's pretty interesting. It's pretty interesting. I think that, you know, I think that, you know, them beginning to report their box office numbers, you know, are it's good because it's gonna put pressure on, you know, other entities in ways like whenever their movies are successful. So you know, 'cause they also just still have their platform just, you know. to be able to just put stuff out anyways and people are still gonna watch it. And like Nick: Yeah. Yeah. Julian: if they keep increasing prices though, I don't know how that's gonna go, 'cause then people probably will still go see those movies in theaters anyways. Nick: No, facts, facts. And that also means that the at least at the very least for these six movies, they gotta be they they gotta be pretty confident in these movies to be Julian: yeah. Nick: like, you know, to come out th especially this far in advance, to say, okay, the whenever these come out, they're gonna get th real in theater releases and we're gonna tell you how they do. Obviously, it because the like the further misadventures of Cliff Booth is a continuation of Brad Pitt and his story from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, directed by Quentin Tarantino. So, you that's a that's a Tarantino movie, a continuation of a character from that that that's gonna have eyes on it. It's you know, like but but we still don't know the quality of it. and then we have Narnia Gretagorig's Narnia, which is another one that could be really good. I have high hopes for that one. I think it's gonna be fire just 'cause I like Greta Gurrig, I liked Barbie, and I think Narnia is one of those ones that she could really like put her hands all over and just like there's so many different corners of like the you know the lore from the books and like just the the world and like all the physical things and performances and stuff that like she could really turn it into something tough. We haven't seen anything on it yet though so we don't know how it looks yet but yeah you know net again Netflix is saying that they're confident in it by giving it this this release so we'll see we'll see and then the rest of them I think we just got the first trailer for the mosquito bowl. We're not gonna react to that today, but you know watch it and see how see what you think. and and yeah so you know we'll stay tuned to see how those do once they once they hit the theaters. Julian: yeah. And so now we have to move it on to our gaming our gamer part of the stream. Or part not part of the stream, part of the podcast. we are now and counting down three days, eight hours, forty minutes, and fifty-eight seconds away from the Wolverine release. Now, ladies and gentlemen, I know that I told you guys that I I still am doing the walkthrough, still doing the playthrough, but we've gotten a rating on the game and it's six out of ten. It's not looking good. It's looking pretty dick pretty grim, some may say. And so that being said, we will still do it and let you guys know how what we think. But Nick, what do you think? Do you think that this game is gonna actually live up to the name for some of the gamers who are just gonna love it and get it because they love Wolverine? Like do you which is I'm in that boat. I love Wolverine. I got it because I wanna be Wolverine in the game. Simple as that. I wanna jump around and do Wolverine stuff. Nick: Yep. Yep. Yep. Julian: But that being said, do you think we will, you know, people are gonna be disappointed? Nick: maybe for those I mean And I

it's too early for me to judge, you know. I like I I I'm not gonna give it a full judgment just based off the score beforehand. But if you know, if the score is true to how the actual quality of the game is, it seems like it'll be pretty enjoyable for those diehard Wolverine fans and like the people who just Julian: I agree. Nick: wanna, you know, strictly go into the game playing w playing as Wolverine, shredding dudes up, you know, getting all the bloody Julian: You just want to be feral. Nick: Not exactly. Just want, you know, you know, a little feral outlet for your for your gaming rotation but but you know if you're just if you're like more of a gamer who's going there to look for another good game then maybe it might you know just be a little maybe a little basic from what people have been saying or like just a little like like one of our friends Mike shout out Mike said that the the it seemed like they might li might have left the training wheels on and they don't really allow you to take them off. so Julian: I th I thought that was a great analogy. I thought that was a great analogy. Nick: Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a that's a Yeah, and I mean that's a that that's a good way of kinda telling you what you wanna know about it. Like, you know, if you don't like Julian: Yeah. Nick: those you know, those kind of things not being able to be changed, then that's probably not gonna be a positive for you. But if you're someone Julian: Yeah. Nick: like me who I game, but I'm not like a huge gamer, so like maybe those things might be helpful you know, a little helpful for me, then maybe it might not be that big of a deal. But you know, it's i to each their own. But what do you think? Julian: And it and it depends because I think that like for me, I'm here because I wanna just go feral and be Wolverine. You know, I'm literally growing out my sideburners just so that I can ha feel Nick: Mm-hmm, mm hmm. yep, yep. Julian: like Wolverine as I'm playing. Just for the gag, Nick: Yeah. Julian: honestly, you know, makes my girl laugh. So but like I think Nick: Mm-hmm. Julian: it's I think it's hilarious. So but I think that, you know, they're gonna be very good. It's gonna be very good in those instances. There might be some cool boss fights, there might be some you know, probably won't get the hull. fight that I've been hoping for but whatever Nick: Yeah. Damn. Julian: you know I'm cause I assume that someone would have said something about it but Nick: Yeah. Julian: nonetheless three days I'll find out and you guys will get the stream and you know I'll let you know. But hopefully it's great. If it's not then, you know, hey, you know, pre orders or you know, that's how it works. you know, sometimes you get a dud. But six out of ten by comic Nick: Yep, yep. Sometimes yep, sometimes you get it done. Julian: book review, very trustworthy. People that I like to follow. when it comes to games and Nick: Shout out comic book. Julian: just yeah, shadow comic book. but like yeah, I think, you know, I'm a stick to their to their rating. you know, the training wheels could annoy me at some point through the game, but it's all right. That means I'll just finish it faster so I so you guys can get it sooner. Nick: There you go. There you go. There you go. And while we're in the gaming corner, today, at time I or at at day of recording, it is Friday, September 11th, marking the beginning of Marvel Rivals season 10. And we the we are getting introduced, Gore the God Butcher, as a playable DPS. And I've you know with me both me and Jules have hopped on the game just to you know just to see how he's how he's moving, just to see what's going on. Speaking for myself, I think he's tough. I think I like I was I was slicing some dudes up a little bit with the Necrosword, okay? Like they don't call him the God Butcher for no reason. He will he will step up to your tank, he will step up to your back line, and he will definitely step up to other DPS. So I'm here for it. Julian: Unless you're Thor. Nick: Hey, we'll see. We'll see. We'll see. Cause hey, you put You put Thor in my Julian: But that being said Nick: way? You put Thor in my way? I'm not Julian: Don't even get me started 'cause I'll show you a little banger too. Yeah, we could go ahead one V one. We could one V one. Nick: Might have to might have to take it to the Clobbering Club. Cloburn Yeah, we can go to the Cloburn Club. What's up? What's up? Julian: I'm fighting for Loki. Nick: you fighting for Loki? Shoot. Okay. Okay. I killed him. Julian: You're gonna get every bit of energy that that trailer had. Nick: I'm the reason that that that that people across the country couldn't play the play dude for a day, okay? So don't don't make me do the same to you. Don't make me do the same to you. Julian: discre man. But hey so but that's gonna be great. so but Liloki is now if it is available to play now that Gore is out. So the you know, another thing is that you guys will notice is that all of the Asgard maps are black and white, which is synonymous to the you know, it's a shout out to the movie where, you know, wherever he was at became black and white after he killed a gods or their gods. So Nick: Yeah. I think wasn't it wasn't it also I can't remember what it was called, but wasn't it also called the void? But it was a di Julian: Might be the all black. It could be the void. Nick: it was a different void than like our you know, the T V A void. but I maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm wrong. I can't remember. But Julian: Yes. R it's well we'll we can go back and correct ourselves on it. Or hopefully Nick: Yeah. Julian: comments will correct us if they catch it. But that being said, Nick: Facts. Julian: let's go into we can get into our short topics. we're gonna, you know, spit these off real fast for you guys. So, Nick, you're up first. Nick: Yeah, let me pull up the timer. We got a minute to talk about each topic and we're just gonna go back and forth here. where where's

the timer? Where's the timer? Okay. So Okay, one minute. All right. And Julian: Or how about this? I can time you. I can time you and you'll time it. Nick: Okay, bet. Say less, say less. That works better. That works better. Julian: Very Nick: Alright, and then just give me give me a five second count like five second like the last five seconds. Like, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah. Let me know when I'm okay. Julian: Got you. Five, four, whenever you you're you're on your last five, I'll just go like this. Nick: Okay, but yeah, but Julian: Five, four, three, two, one, go. Nick: Okay, so the 50th anniversary re-release of Star Wars A New Hope will be released in IMAX 70 millimeter theaters. Okay, this is huge for anybody who's obviously a Star Wars fan, but also are, you know, large premium format fans, you know, anybody who got who is lucky enough to have a 70 millimeter screen near them, you know, in the vicinity, or if you want to make the trip to a 70 millimeter theater to experience Star Wars in all of its glory. on the biggest screen possible you like this is huge this is really big and the in case you haven't noticed i'm one of those people so i you know i'm a sucker for some for some i max 70 millimeter honestly regular i max too so when i heard this i was you know i'm on top of it i can't wait it comes out on february 9th 2027 you know again it's the 50th anniversary of star wars so that's gonna be awesome and clock it Fifty n let's go. Let's go. Come on now. Come on now. All right. You get you got the next one? You ready with the next one? Julian: Yep, I got this one. This is I added this one. Nick: Alright, bet all right, five, four, wait, wait, my fault I got that timer. Okay. Five, four, three, two, one, go. Julian: Alright guys, so there's this place called the Deep. restaurant that's near or brewery that's near my house. So me and my me and my lady, we went down there just to, you know, to the old Auderon Hall just get some chicken wings. So come to find out there was a Hulu doc series release there, at that place and there was a Shelly. the day it released on Hulu and this is called Welcome to the Family Death of Dan Markle or Merkel. And if you don't know anything about that, that's an old FSU professor that was that was killed by his wife and her brother But Nick: Mm. Julian: it's a lot more complicated than that because the wife didn't go to jail and the brother went to jail and their and their mom went to jail. And so I got a chance to talk to some of the investigators and and some of the people who are even in participation of filming and making this docuseries. So now we gave them our contact information to have them on the podcast who has a six month window of where they can't talk to nobody. So that being said, that's it. And we will go ahead and watch that that show on Hulu Death Dan Marco. Welcome to the family. Nick: Tough. Minute seven. Minute seven. Got minute Julian: I'll take it. Nick: seven over the clock. Tough, tough.

But you bit you got it all done in the time. You just trailed off at the end there. But everything concise. Great. Great. Great. Alright. Julian: we go, we'll take it. We'll take it. Alright, you got this one? Nick: Okay, yeah, yeah. Okay, yeah. All right. Give me the g give me okay, yeah. Julian: Three, three, two, one, go. Nick: Okay, so it has been released that VisionQuil examine a new POV of Iron Man's Death. this has been released by or revealed by the showrunner Terry Metales. quote sh quote has said Friday was there when Tony Stark died. What's that like for an AI not being able to protect the only or the one they're programmed to protect? So this is a really interesting like addition or layer to like what we already knew was an interesting show because we already knew that Friday and a a lot of the other AIs and stuff are gonna be in this house with Vision. But knowing that or I mean you know Thinking about the fact that she was there when Tony Stark died and actually like lived that in some way, in a way that we don't even know because we don't know how an AI might even react to something like that. You know, just the thought of that and the fact that that's gonna be addressed is adding another layer to the show that's really cool. and it makes you wonder and it makes you ask yourself, what other experiences have these AIs seen in the MCU that they could further expand on? Clock it. Julian: go. Minute on the dot. Nick: Bad. Bad bad bad bad bad. Let's go. Let's Let's go. Julian: That's and that was the that's one you could run with too, so alright, I'll cover this one 'cause I I got I got this one. Nick: yeah, I know. I'm knowing, I'm knowing. Alright, you ready? Alright, three, two, one, go. Julian: So you might have remembered last time we talked about Primetime starting Robert Patterson, which debuted at a ninety-two percent on Rotten Tomatoes on twelve reviews and rises to a hundred percent on twenty-six reviews. And so now what we're looking at here is we're looking at a th a a movie where potentially the thing the you know, the thing or the person it's about hates it. And that's what we're getting right now. Chris Hansen does not like the movie. I don't know if he's even seen it, but he has come out and already said he does not like it. He didn't approve. And, you know, that being said, I think Robert Pattison is gonna get himself an Oscar or nominated for something because Yeah, no, his performance is gonna be nuts. And I think what this means is is that there are some things about the Chris Hansen catch a predator thing that we didn't know about, which is which was one of my theories at first, which is to me, I think is gonna be him basically faking all of it. Nick: Mm, really? you're at a minute right now. Julian: Thank you for Nick: You're at you literally when you said faking all of it, that was a minute. My fault. I I I I sp I I I lost I lost the I lost the ball for a second. Julian: That was it. That was it. That's all I had. It's okay. That's all I had anyways. That's all I had anyways. But that being said, Nick: That was good. That was good. That was good. That was good. Julian: Nick is gonna take us into the first look at the Gorilla Grad in filming for the people versus Gorilla Grod. For those who don't know, this was filmed in Georgia Tech. Nick lives in Atlanta, and let's see what he got about it. Nick: boy, boy, what a first look this is because I I don't know what we were all expecting this show to be, but it wasn't it wasn't a dude in a gorilla costume walking around the the Georgia Tech campus or the Metropolis University campus. Doing God knows what. And when I say God knows what, I'm talking riding scooters. He's in an a cappella group. He's he's out here just like you know talking to girls and stuff. Like he's we got gorilla grad on campus. That's what it looks like we're getting. Not the people versus Gorilla Grad. Obviously, that maybe this sequence is part of some like backstory, you know, flashback type thing showing, you know, Gorilla Grad like you know, just like how how he got to where he is today or whatever it is. Or maybe this is a good amount of the show. I have no idea. We don't really, again, we don't really know what to expect from this at the you know, aside from James Gunn saying it's supposed to be a you know just a like a courtroom comedy drama or something like that. But either way, it looks cool. I'm Julian: Time. Nick: here for it, and there we go. Julian: I lost the ball there. That was a minute fifteen. No, but I Nick: no, no, no, you're cool, you're cool. I I d I I definitely lost the ball there too. So it's g it's cool. Julian: I would just let you talk 'cause it was good. You're cooking there, so I I just had to let you keep cooking. Nick: no b bet bet alright, appreciate it, appreciate it. And then we got our last one right here. you ready? Julian: Yep, I'm ready. This is gonna be a quick one anyways for me. But Destin, Daniel Creighton, will be returning to the direct Spider Man five. I think this is gonna be great because this will be right after coming off of Naruto and then he's gonna be getting into, you know, this. So As long as he finishes Naruto great, I don't care. But it's I Nick: Facts, facts. Julian: think that, you know, he's really gonna do a great job on Spider Man five. I think we'll probably get a little bit more Spider-Man villains now. Like they haven't done a Sinister Six yet, so like we're gonna have to do something eventually. Like we're we're gonna get like true Scorpion fights, true this fights. But like they might even not do that. It could be the aftermath of Doomsday. So we really don't know. So like it's you know, it's really like this Nick: Mm-hmm. Julian: could be getting into secret wars. Maybe Johnny died. And he replaces the you know we get in it and we get a little bit of when he's it with the Fantastic Four Future Foundation. So Nick: Mm. Julian: so maybe we get that like Future Foundation

Nick: That'd be tough. Julian: would be cool. Future Foundation would be really cool because they would have brought them over and I'm assuming they're gonna kill kill off their universe and let them stay in our universe and we just have the Fantastic Four there and that's where we get Future Foundation cut done. Nick: Tough. Okay, okay, okay, okay, you cooked. You cooked. You cooked in a l Julian: Try Nick: in a in a small amount of time. Okay, I see it. I didn't even think about that, honestly. I didn't even th that would be that would be that would be sick. Seeing Tom Holland in that future foundation white suit. Woo! Julian: Crazy, be crazy. Cause then 'cause then when we get into like Nick: Here for it. Julian: him creating the, you know, we're gonna probably find out the implications as how what happens when he of the tech he created, the inhibitor stuff. So we're gonna get that, Nick: Yep. Yep. Julian: I think then, and he's gonna have to fix it. So and where's he gonna go? Nick: Ooh, I hope so. Julian: To the next smartest person, future foundation re Richards. That he just met coincidentally Nick: Okay. Julian: in Doomsday. That's my theory. Nick: Yeah, okay, okay, okay, okay. I see it. I see it. I see it and I hope I Julian: So Nick: hope that's it's something like that happens for real. But Julian: Now guys, we're c we're at the part that you guys all are waiting for. Lantern's discussion. So let's pick up where we left off at the end Nick: Yep. Yep. Lanterns epis Julian: of episode two, with Hal visiting Sinestro in prison, and he admits Hal knows or Hal admits he knows John is supposed to replace him. Now and what is Sinestro telling Nick? Nick: Sinestro said he tells how that he's gonna he's gonna need him to kill John. To keep that from happening. And he's tell he's feeling he's feeling how how's head up with all this shit, bruh. He's saying he's saying he's tell yeah, he's telling Julian: It's talking. Talking. Nick: him, like J you know, John's John's cocky, like, or you know, he he's not gonna think twice about you. Like it w if when if you f start to agree with him or if you gas him up, he's not gonna think twice about it because he he thinks that he's that guy. So he's telling he's telling him to manipulate John, da da da. Meanwhile, Sinestro's Julian: Mm-hmm. Nick: just manipulating how. Like he don't he don't care about he don't care about John. He don't care about Hal losing his ring. The only reason he cares about Hal losing his ring is because Hal is his best chance of getting out of prison. Because he's okay, like I you just know in this first scene that Sinestro is like, you know, pulling all these strings literally just from this first Julian: This is why I think we're gonna get paralytical. Just saying. We very well could. Nick: Which we we very well could. It's it could it could be in the cards. It c is especially with this dickhead version of Hal Jordan that we have. Julian: Even if it's next season. Right like like

season finale, we get parallax, how he flies off into space, and then it's just John just stoic. Just Nick: That would be crazy. That'd be crazy. Julian: just not chasing off yet. Like or I don't know. We'll see. Maybe not. Maybe we won't get that. I hope we don't get that. I need them to be cool first. Nick: Yeah. But but then after we s after the Hal and Sinestro, you know, after that scene, we see John going into this gun store to get a scope, you know, to check out the Macon Ranch, and he's dodging all these racist comments and treatment with with sniper-like precision. Like he's staying cool, calm, and collected the whole time. Meanwhile, all these all these white men are in here trying to make him, you know, make him seem bothered and stuff like that when that's just not the case. But then, you know, he's up there on the water tower scoping everything out. John's parents call him to tell him that the Guardians want to speak with him. but he skips out on it because, you know, my boy's a soldier. He's focused on the mission at hand and he knows that if he does if he's not focused on the mission at hand, then there's gonna be a b you know, Rushville's gonna get exploded pretty much to try to to try to flush out the the whoever the manhunter is. So then After dodging the guardians, he goes back to his hotel room. and you know, after you know, talking to Hal and everything, he goes back to the room and the guardian is waiting for him in his hotel room. And and he tells John that if he takes the ring, then it's his if he if he if he has Hal's ring and recites the oath. Julian: And it's Yeah. Nick: Which is huge, which is huge, because this is like and as a as a both a viewer and as John as a character, we're we're all really we were all kind of expecting, okay. John's gonna get granted the ring at the end of this or however this happens. Not that, okay, he's gonna have to take it from Hal without Hal even knowing that it's coming. So Julian: Yeah. Nick: it's like it's a kind of weird little switch up to like what we've all yeah, no Julian: It they're making him do it. They're making him do the uncomfortable part of firing him. Nick: Not exactly. And then as soon as and then it's fu it it's funny because you're we're now creating this parallel between like the Guardians, the Guardians with John and how with Sinestro because the Guardians as soon as Ja John questions the fact that, you know, he wanted to have the ring given to him and you know he doesn't want to have to take it for himself, the Guardians start kinda kinda guilt tripping him about like, yeah, are you are you really scared? Did we make Julian: Like, are you scared? Is your is your f is your father's weakness r does it reside in you as well? When they said that, I jumped Nick: Yep, yep, yep. And and it's like wow, yeah, like Julian: out of my seat. Nick: no, really. I was like y'all switched up so fast, like my parents raised me based on what you told them, and y'all are switching up

on me just because I'm cu I'm asking a question? Like, excuse me? And so like that and and so that they start and as soon as he's questions that they start manipulating him the same way that Sinestro was manipulating Hal. They he he she she starts saying that all that stuff to him, and then to get him to the point where he he literally says, The ring has always been mine. That elsehole's just keeping it warm. And it's just like, ooh, ooh, like they really lit that fire inside of John. So so now it's like now we're kind of going into the next mission, being like, okay, is is how did like is John really just gonna take the ring as soon as he gets the chance? And like, ooh, my my the tension was high. My heart was beating the whole time. Julian: it was palpitation. Palpitation right there. And so now and then then w after that we get none other than Zoe coming up to the door coming up to the door. Nick: wait, wait, wait. Before before that though, before Zoe goes to the door. What but they get captured. It was b that was b after they got captured by Yes, which Yes. Julian: my fault, folks, getting ahead of myself. So they get so they go to the ranch, they get captured. Now John ha gets his moment of being able to put the ring on, but we don't he doesn't do it. 'Cause he had he came up with a plan or schematics to build a drill to tunnel in. So that they don't fly in. Because h he told Hal that the next shot wasn't going through his shoulder, it was gonna be in his head. So h not to walk onto the ranch. Nick: Yeah, no. Yeah, they had to get in below ground. Julian: Exactly. So that being said, they they get in and they get caught. They you know, they find all these alien weapons, they find all this higher power, you know, firepower that isn't human, and so they're like, Okay, he's definitely connected with the manhunter. Now the question is, who is the manhunter? So they get captured. So now in a flex of power, Will Macon has Maul in his office, if you will. Tells John, I hear you're a pretty good artist. Well, you know what? Draw me, since you could probably draw my wife. Nick: Bro, that was cold. That was I me Julian: and proceeds to strip Buck naked and have John draw him almost spread eagle, I dare say. Nick: Hm. No, liter I mean, bro, cause we didn't see it on on camera, but then when he handed him the finished the finished picture, it it was dangling. It was there. So Yep, Julian: You seen it. He d you seen it. You seen it. They ain't they d they pulled a Simpsons, if you will. Nick: yep, yep. And like What a what what was so interesting about that scene aside from like just how in also the the episode title being The Weenie and you know we get a literal weenie aside from the other definition Julian: Yes. Weenie is Nick: of the weenie that John gave Hal earlier, but it's just how like like calm and collected John is. Like he's literally handed the notepad, the dude strips down naked in front of his eyes, the dude he John doesn't even flinch. Julian: Mm-hmm. Zoe walks in. Nick: yeah, bruh, are you kid Are you kidding me? Julian: I was literally I I was watching and I said to myself, this can only get worse if Zoe gets comes in. Like, that's the way this scene gets way more uncomfortable. And then she walks in. Nick: Yep, and she Yep, and she came in she came in like it was like like it was orchestrated. Like she came in like it was on cue. Julian: Like this was like I was po like this was supposed to happen, sorry. Nick: Yeah, yeah. And so like if anything was gonna make John Flinch, it might have been that, but my boy still just steady, just kept drawing. Kept drawing. And meanwhile, Julian: Safe, safe. Mm-hmm. And then Nick: how's the one that's uncomfortable because he's not like, you know, he's not the s yeah, nah for real. Like but and he never like Julian: He's like, You're cool with this? This is a way this is a heck of a torture tactic. Nick: that. Nah, literally, literally. But that was crazy. and then Julian: And then on top of that, we get then we get after that we get the sheriff pulling up, saving him, taking him back to the hotel. She gives Hal Nick: Yeah, yeah. Julian: back the ring after she took the ring from Megan's desk, and then on top of that, you know, the pump. And then and told Nick: Yep, and then gives gives John the fucking the the the the pump shotgun for self defense. Julian: him that they're gonna be coming for them tonight, probably. And then after that, what Nick: Mm, mm. Julian: do we get? We get Zoe Macon knocking on John's door after the conversation that they have he had with the Guardians. So after that, or no, before the was that wait. No. It was It was after. Okay. And Nick: Yeah, it was after. It was after. It was after. Yeah. Julian: so then we get Zoe at the door. John holding pumped to the face. Next thing you know, Zoe's like, you gonna put that thing down and let me in? And what does John do? Put the thing down and let her in. And he picks something else up. Or at least something's Nick: he he I was about to say he he he puts it down and lets her in, all right. Anyway, anyway but okay, also Julian: Anyways so Nick: I was actually I was listening to the the DC Studios lanterns podcast, like they do a you know a weekly follow-up Julian: Yeah. Mm-hmm. Nick: episode. And so they were saying I didn't clock this when I was watching, they were saying that one of the signs that shows that John knows That he's a that she's a manhunter, or s or at least suspects that she's a manhunter, is that when she pulls up to his crib, like to the hotel, he looks out the window and knows that it's her. Like, sees her car, sees her in the car and walking up to the door, yet he still posts up at the door with with the shotgun ready, yeah, ready at her face. So, like, he doesn't know what's about to happen. Exactly, like, he doesn't know what's really about to happen, even though he knows exactly, exactly. Julian: With the pump. Yeah. That is a telltale sign. Yeah.

That is is this the manhunter coming to kill me? So he knew. 'Cause it comes and gets them at man for Nick: So it's like yeah, he it and he's still Julian: Look, I I all all I'ma Nick: And he's still Julian: say is it must be good because wow. Because he and 'cause not only did he do it, he laid up after Canoodles and Nick: Mm mm, mm, mm. Julian: then after she told him, she's like, Yeah, like this is probably gonna be our last time 'cause everything kinda changes after I tell you this but Nick: Yeah. Julian: Yeah, like he doesn't I don't owe him, he owes me, which was her way to me telling me telling us the viewer that she's definitely the manhunter and telling John that. Nick: my boy. That's a good clock. Julian: so then after that she leaves and then what happens skull missile Nick: As soon as she we see Blum Julian: And John didn't flinch, Nick: my god. Julian: you know why? Cause he she knows we're gonna be seeing her. Now this is where I didn't like well I d I was like, all right, John, are you you're feeling a little hard over there because he didn't tell her that out he didn't tell how that she is the manhunter. He told how he thinks it's making. Which that's not the case. He is not the manhunter. Nick: Yeah. He th yeah, yeah. Yeah. Because and but for both yeah, but we gotta acknowledge when Hal comes out and because like, you know, John has that shot like 'cause when I was he said what did he Julian: Forty five degrees west. Nick: say? He said, Shut the fuck up and point or so something like that. Yeah, Julian: He said just fucking point. Nick: yeah, he said, just fucking point. I'm like, bro and then he just zoomed like hits the and he hits that that signature liftoff that he's been hitting all show that just hits so hard. It's so smooth. Julian: It's pretty good, I'm sorry, it's really good. Nick: It's so smooth. And like when I was watching the scene, like John is like kind of frozen there. He's kind of in shock a little bit. And like I thought it was because the girl the girl that he he was he was messing with just got blown up. But no, it's because the girl he was messing with, he he's he just got confirmed is a manhunter. And like it's clear as day right now off of that. So back to what you were saying, you know, they him and Hal are in the car and they're finally ad no no no no no no they're not Julian: Addressing Nick: in the car, they're not in the car. They pull up to to find out where or where they think the actual manhunter is based on where the satellite came from for the laser, and they find a dude there. or and you know, and they they go on this mission there where they're actually becoming starting to get closer as partners for the first time, it seems like. Julian: Yeah, 'cause 'cause it's 'cause how 'cause he how asked John how he's doing and that was the first time he's ever asked John that. Nick: Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so it's like, you know, they both g go through that whole wait a second. Yeah, they go this is when

they yeah, when they go through the whole thing with like the weird meat laser thing, you know, that cuts the cow and everything and like, you know, I've I'd argue that in the f Julian: Yes. The the the te the upgraded slaughterhouse. That's what it was. The high tech slaughterhouse. Nick: Yes, exactly, exactly. And so Yeah, and and I would argue that in that scene where like the blood gets splattered on on them and, you know, how makes the bubble, I'd argue that in episode one, if that would have happened, he would have just protected himself. Like I feel like he would like he would have he would have just let he might have just let John get the blood splatter on him, but but because they're actually getting closer this episode, they're actually bonding and stuff. and because they I I I think Julian: 'Cause 'cause Jordan seen him lose someone that he seem he thought he cared about. And that's where his humanity's Nick: No, he s yeah, he's sine he sine that. Julian: coming in where you're like, Okay, you have a heart. You're just you're just a dick. Nick: No, right. And the there I think it's also partially com be coming from this point of them both being in corners that that's telling them to like to to deceive the other pretty much. The Guardians are telling John to deceive Hal to get the ring. Sinestro's telling Hal to deceive John so that he doesn't get the ring. Like, you know, so but me meanwhile, they're actually becoming partners and they're actually like growing respect for each other and appreciation for each other. So like That's you know, that's a really interesting dynamic just for all that to be building up. And then they find the dude and the dude reveals that they've been tracking John the whole time. So and and and he leaks the audio of what he said to the guardians about how's wash, how ain't Julian: Mm-hmm. Nick: shit, he's keeping the ring warm for me, and it's gonna be mine. So you know, it's all Julian: Yeah. Nick: out there and we're I was bruh, my jaw was on the floor. My I was Julian: And that I was like, dang, not this coming out all in this episode. But it I think Nick: Nah, literally. Like, man. Julian: it needed to happen so that they can have their next their next talk of like Nick: no, yeah. I know but but that okay, that's how I wanted to go. What I like the the what i y the next talk of like their progressing Julian: How's definitely gonna do well, he he did crash the car and Nick: Not exact exactly, which leads us to the end of the episode where, you know, they're Julian: Which is Nick: dr they're driving home. They suspect like w since they know that that guy's not the real manhunter, we're back to our suspicions, right? And we, you know, John suspects it's it's what's it's it's Zoe, but or susp but after we saw Zoe's car get blown up, he acts like he suspects that it's that it's will making. And so Hal knows that he's that he that that he ain't that he's lying. Hal knows that John is suspecting Zoe, but still but that but but clocks that he lied instead. And so as soon as he clocked that and and even knowing what he had already said to the guardians, he's now spinning that whole manipulation web that Sinestra was telling him about. He they're in the car, it seems like they're having an actual heart to heart, a genuine conversation, like following that. He's Julian: And then he bells. Nick: like, Yeah, I would have done the same thing too. Like, you know, I completely get, and then and then the the tables turn. Julian: Maybe it was a like the and now we're even type of thing. Like I feel like we're gonna get in the next the next scene is gonna be like, All right, now we're even and then they g they're fine. Nick: I don't know because no, cause think about it. I think he left him in there without the ring. So he didn't leave them in there not n necessarily knowing that he was gonna survive that. You know, at least because no, because I I'm I think he Julian: I mean, yes, you're right. You're right. I'm saying n but he's gonna survive. Nick: I no no, I think he's gonna survive, but for sure, but like I think Hal might have genuinely been trying to kill him in that moment. Julian: What if what if what if what if what if that's the moment John uses the powers without the ring? Nick: Mmm what if then yeah, the next episode starts with like him flying out the the thing like with no type of ooh oo that'd be cra that'd Julian: And he's he Nick: be crazy, but I that might be like they might I don't know. I don't know. They might rush that, rush into that if they do that at that moment. 'Cause we still got what? Four episodes left? Yeah. Yeah, like maybe Julian: That's fair. No, but like a glimpse of it, like he doesn't control it yet, he but like Nick: he makes the same bubble he made when Hal gave him the ring and jumped out the car, except he's just like, wait, how the fuck did it how did I do that? Like, you know, something like that maybe. Julian: Right, exactly, exactly. Like where he doesn't know how he did it and how's like, What the fuck? How'd you do that? But that being said, we're you know Nick: But either way, we were also we were right about her make grandma making being the being the the manhunter. But even Julian: Zoe? The manhunter? Yeah. yeah. Nick: in it was kinda obvious at first, but I like Julian: Mm-hmm. Nick: how in this episode they still diverted us away from her in a good way, to where like Julian: You know what's crazy? What I'm just thinking about? What if she wanted to fuck Jordan and didn't get to Jordan because he got himself into that fight and then went to John because he left the ring with him? Nick: Hmm. Hmm, interesting. Maybe, maybe, but maybe not, because we also hear this thing that House says about how manhunters bring down societies and like how they do it by by manip by manipulating through intimacy. and like would Julian: Right, so maybe he would have he would have clocked that. Nick: And like I'm not saying she

couldn't I'm not saying she couldn't he couldn't have gone like gotten intimate with her, but like it's e like it would have been e it's easier to to target the train the trainee. Yeah, yeah, yeah, than than it is the seasoned Green Lantern. Julian: do to the John then because he's looking for that. Nick: Exac exactly. He has his his you know his his his radar on. So and I'd argue that Julian: Right, so that makes sense. Nick: yeah, I'd argue that his, you know, I I mean obvious and also th throughout this episode, we've seen how prove himself like kind of show us why he's the Green Lantern here and he has the ring like just in the scene after he finds out what John said, he still grills the hell out of the dude and threatens to rip his heart out so that he in so that he can find out who the manhunter is, all this stuff. So it's just like, you know, John can you know John's power Julian: It worked! It worked! Nick: y it worked. It worked. And John in and same with you know the liftoff scene where he's just like Julian: And what's crazy is John John could've just told him it's Zoe and they would have never went there. And and nobody w and and he would have never found that out. Nick: Could have. They could have survived they could have survived that leak, maybe. They could have survived the leak if he had been honest with them, potentially, but Julian: Exactly. Potentially. But we're coming to a close guys. we're, you know, wrapping up over getting over hour and a half. So we're gonna go into what we're Nick: Mm. Julian: excited about. I'm excited for this game that I'm starting to play called Warframe. Nick is gonna be getting it too. hopefully he's excited as well. And I'm excited for Wolverine, in about, you know, three days. Three days, seven hours, fifty seven minutes and fifty seven seconds. So Nick: Mm-hmm. Julian: I think that's gonna be great. Can't wait. Nick, how about you? What you excited for? Nick: I am excited for I'm excited to see what you think about the Wolverine game, you know, after all these reviews and stuff. I wanna see, you know, after you know, it's you know, s I since I know you, I know like what you know w what if you like it, then I'm probably gonna like there's a good chance I'm gonna like it.
