there are 38 00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:15.159 so many Indiana Jones novels out there. They have to 39 00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:18.400 have a wealth of of event of material with which 40 00:02:18.439 --> 00:02:19.479 to pull from as well. 41 00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:22.319 Oh, there's plenty of those novels. And there's also there's 42 00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:25.159 also a couple of unpublished comic books, you know, that 43 00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:28.400 were pitched and you know, supposedly started production but didn't 44 00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:30.680 didn't fly. With the close sales toward the end of 45 00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:34.400 the Dark Horse run. But even then, that's that's really irrelevant. 46 00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:38.199 There's just so much potential storytelling. I mean, my god, 47 00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:39.879 we could get a you know, I would, I would 48 00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:42.719 pay big money for a five or seven issue mini 49 00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:47.680 series focusing on Indy and a young short round. You know, 50 00:02:48.039 --> 00:02:52.120 Indy and has adventures with Wu Han from exactly People 51 00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:56.039 of Doom, you know, just all you know, Indie with 52 00:02:56.120 --> 00:03:00.639 Abner Ravenwood, you know, I mean this The potential I 53 00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:03.319 think is is that you know, Indy even Indian Mac 54 00:03:03.439 --> 00:03:04.360 during World War Two. 55 00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:07.520 Yeah, there there's plenty there, you know, unlike Star Wars 56 00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:10.000 that you know there are there are huge swaths of 57 00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:13.680 Indiana Jones's life that we that have not been been 58 00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:15.680 thought about. So yeah, I'm excited about that. 59 00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:19.360 The other bit of news the fact that, you know, 60 00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:20.840 the fact I don't really think we're gonna get any 61 00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:23.599 more Indiana JNG movies. No, it's gonna sort of like 62 00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:27.080 it's gonna it's gonna give I think Lucasfilm Publishing a 63 00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:29.599 bit more of a free hand, you know, right, hav 64 00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:32.360 to be extrapolated by Cannon, although you know, when you 65 00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:35.280 think about it, Star Wars doesn't really doesn't like Cannon 66 00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:37.439 that there's retools that are revamp set, right. 67 00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:40.599 But yeah. The other bit of news that I was 68 00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:42.560 excited about, and I think's probably you probably have this 69 00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:44.919 one pegged as well as the announcement of Ryan Gosling 70 00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:47.719 as a ghostwriter in the Marvel Years coming in twenty 71 00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:49.759 twenty eight, which I thought was kind of cool and 72 00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:53.199 directed by Sean Levy who did dead Pools and Wolverine, 73 00:03:53.240

--> 00:03:54.919 And isn't he doing Starfighter as well? 74 00:03:55.319 --> 00:03:55.759 He is? 75 00:03:55.919 --> 00:03:58.599 Yeah, so yeah, Ryan Gosling is his new DeNiro. I 76 00:03:58.599 --> 00:03:59.879 guess who knows. 77 00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:03.560 Although I will admit and I only say this because 78 00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:06.719 because I love Nicholas Cage's ghost Writer, right. I love 79 00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:08.879 the first one. I even liked the second one, which was, 80 00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:12.159 you know, universally panned and rightfully so, but it was entertaining. 81 00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:14.199 But I just I just thought it was kind of 82 00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:16.920 cool in this sort of little oh hey, how about that? 83 00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:20.600 You know that Ryan Gosling apparently had pitched Kevin Fagy 84 00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:24.160 about being ghost writer, and then of course you know 85 00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:27.759 Ama Mendez was in the first ghost Writer who. 86 00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:32.480 Is married to Ryan Gosling. Yeah, yeah, So also I 87 00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:34.240 would like to point out somebody pointed out that when 88 00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:36.240 Nicholas Cage played ghost Writer the first time, he was 89 00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:39.519 forty one. Gosling will be forty seven when he films his. 90 00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:45.879 Oh it's too old. Oh I'm kidding. Of course, he's 91 00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:47.439 not too old. It'll be fun, you know. 92 00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:48.279 You know. 93 00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:51.160 I also enjoyed the fact that we're getting I guess 94 00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:53.399 you know, again not Star Wars related, but we're getting 95 00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:54.399 a Black Panther three. 96 00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:58.240 Yeah, they're gonna eight and they're gonna age to Challah 97 00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:00.360 the second up, and. 98 00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:03.600 He's being played by the young man from the what 99 00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:04.560 was the alien movie? 100 00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:09.399 Oh, Alien Romulus. He was phenomenal in that film. I've 101 00:05:09.480 --> 00:05:11.360 not seen The Long Walk, but just based on that 102 00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:13.920 performance alone, the guy can do anything as far as 103 00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:14.519 I'm concerned. 104 00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:17.800 Oh, totally, totally, yeah, yeah, but you know, I guess 105 00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:20.040 you know. This is a Star Wars comics podcast, although 106 00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:21.439 I think it should be said that Jeff and I 107 00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:25.560 are planning, you know, to do an Indiana Jones comics podcast. 108 00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:28.519 So Matt had been planning it for decades and he 109 00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:29.680 asked me to come along. 110 00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:32.360 So yeah, sure I have yeah, literally, because back back 111 00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:36.680 after you know, Disney bought Marvel back when I was 112 00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:39.800 still working for the AP. I. You know, I called 113 00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:43.639 Axel Alonzo, who was the then editor in chief, and 114 00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:45.160 you know, I said, hey, man, I heard you guys 115 00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:47.480 visited the ranch and he goes, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, 116 00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:49.800 you know it was just it was mostly for background stuff, 117 00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:52.040 nothing big. And I said, I got to ask. He goes, 118 00:05:52.040 --> 00:05:54.199 what what what are you going to ask that you're 119 00:05:54.199 --> 00:05:57.439 gonna do Indiana Jones? And he goes, I can't say 120 00:05:57.439 --> 00:05:59.000 if we are not, but let me tell you this. 121 00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:02.000 It came up. I said, okay, cool. So I have 122 00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:06.120 been waiting for thirteen years, so so much so that 123 00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:10.839 you know, I have the indie comics Cavalcade dot com 124 00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:12.279 website that I've been paying for. 125 00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:15.480 You've been supporting on it, yeah, for a decade. 126 00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:18.839 I have the Indiana Jones comics at gmail dot com. 127 00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:21.120 I have, you know, the Indiana Jones comics on Blue 128 00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:22.600 Skies and. 129 00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:24.519 See, and I suggest that he should have shown Oh no, 130 00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:26.800 it's not the year's Honeyt's some mile log at gmail 131 00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:29.000 dot com. All one word is our email address. But 132 00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:31.800 I guess you're right, Yours is probably better. 133 00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:35.279 That's easier, it's more direct. So and then I even 134 00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:37.959 created an Indiana Jones comics subreddit, you know, like three 135 00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:41.079 or four years ago. So I'm like, I'm like the 136 00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:43.319 only one who uses it, but you know, who knows. 137 00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:49.000 We'll see, all right, So Star Wars Comics, not a 138 00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:53.120 lot of news, nothing new from Marvel. Marvel gave us 139 00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:58.600 looks at basically the October solicits. Uh, you know, we 140 00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:01.120 got to look at some of the the variant covers 141 00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:03.199 and the main covers for Book of Boba Fett three 142 00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:06.160 and four, as well as The Fall of Kylo Red 143 00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:11.759 number three of five dark Horse.

Should be noted that dark 146 00:07:22.399 --> 00:07:25.120 Horse had no Star Wars comics and it's November solicits 147 00:07:25.199 -->
