Hey, you guys, this is the mask and you guys
00:00:02.279 --> 00:00:04.240
are listening to the geek cast radio network.
00:00:04.379 --> 00:00:07.559
And you know what? You are smoking. I'll forget
00:00:07.559 --> 00:00:14.640
geeky. It's a wild ride. Hello and welcome to
00:00:14.640 --> 00:00:17.480
Altered Geek. I'm your host, Steve Megatron.
00:00:17.480 --> 00:00:19.440
And joining me on this adventure into geekdom
00:00:19.440 --> 00:00:24.449
is TFG1 Mike. It's International Podcast Day,
00:00:24.530 --> 00:00:27.050
everybody. We're recording this September 30th,
00:00:27.050 --> 00:00:33.649
2026. Yep. And yeah, it's It's been a little
00:00:33.649 --> 00:00:36.270
bit since we've recorded one of these, too. Yeah,
00:00:36.289 --> 00:00:39.670
I did not realize we were going to end up doing
00:00:39.670 --> 00:00:42.429
this. And then I woke up this morning and I'm
00:00:42.429 --> 00:00:45.270
like, oh, right. Memories, memories on Facebook.
00:00:45.310 --> 00:00:49.460
And that popped up. And I forget who initially
00:00:49.460 --> 00:01:00.490
shared the International Podcast Day logo. it's
00:01:00.490 --> 00:01:03.789
Facebook. Everybody steals photos. Well, I stole
00:01:03.789 --> 00:01:08.430
one of the logo photos from it. And for me to
00:01:08.430 --> 00:01:10.609
make it my own, I just turned it black and white.
00:01:10.709 --> 00:01:14.530
So I've had it on my Facebook page is black and
00:01:14.530 --> 00:01:17.349
white for like, I don't know, the past nine years
00:01:17.349 --> 00:01:21.579
or so. And I wanted to figure, okay, why is it
00:01:21.579 --> 00:01:25.959
September 30th? Why, why that day? And I'm on,
00:01:26.180 --> 00:01:31.739
uh, internationalpodcastday .com looking at their
00:01:31.739 --> 00:01:34.000
about and looking up their history and everything
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:38.040
else. I'm like, oh, so that's why. So I will
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:42.390
shoot you the link as to what it was. But it
00:01:42.390 --> 00:01:46.629
was basically started by Steve Lee and Dave Lee
00:01:46.629 --> 00:01:52.040
all the way back in 2014. I remember when it
00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:56.250
started. Yeah. I kind of do, but I kind of don't,
00:01:56.250 --> 00:01:59.109
which is why I wanted to research it and read
00:01:59.109 --> 00:02:04.310
their about page here. Obviously, not going to
00:02:04.310 --> 00:02:08.289
read the about page on the podcast. People can
00:02:08.289 --> 00:02:10.550
click the link in the show notes and go read
00:02:10.550 --> 00:02:14.219
it themselves. But basically, they just wanted
00:02:14.219 --> 00:02:17.870
to, you know. gather people from around the country
00:02:17.870 --> 00:02:21.849

00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:47.539
the flow of the show or do something a little
00:03:47.539 --> 00:03:49.319
bit different. So I'm open to suggestions if
00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:52.659
people want to drop those in the comments on
00:03:52.659 --> 00:03:58.000
thegcrn .com or feedback at geekcastradio .com.
00:03:58.580 --> 00:04:04.509
Let us know there. But this week, we have some
00:04:04.509 --> 00:04:08.750
discussion points. We have some stuff about Transformers.
00:04:08.750 --> 00:04:12.180
We have Darkwing Duck. We have Toys R Us. Uh,
00:04:12.900 --> 00:04:18.560
we have a tiger blood, Adonis DNA. Uh, remember
00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:23.139
those days, uh, have a couple of gremlins in
00:04:23.139 --> 00:04:27.620
the, in the kitchen and, uh, some DCU conversation.
00:04:28.300 --> 00:04:31.779
So without further ado, let's, uh, let's get
00:04:31.779 --> 00:04:33.420
to the Transformers stuff first, even though
00:04:33.420 --> 00:04:36.019
it's not all things Transformers. Yeah, no, just
00:04:36.019 --> 00:04:39.040
two things. Just it's, this is, this is going
00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:42.060
to be fun and ranty at the same time. Yes. Yes.
00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:48.139
So when it was announced that the 40th anniversary
00:04:48.139 --> 00:04:51.819
of Transformers, the movie, when it was announced
00:04:51.819 --> 00:04:53.860
that Transformers, the movie was coming back
00:04:53.860 --> 00:04:57.500
into theaters on a limited run, that limited
00:04:57.500 --> 00:05:00.399
run has got extended up until I think October
00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:05.199
7th or October 8th. But we knew that shout factory
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:08.810
shout studios, whatever they're calling themselves
00:05:08.810 --> 00:05:13.560
these days, entertainment. okay well so all of
00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:16.319
their they were shout shout factory became shout
00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:19.459
studios then they merged with somebody else became
00:05:19.459 --> 00:05:23.540
radial entertainment and then groove .com gruv
00:05:23.540 --> 00:05:29.769
is now their shout factory yeah it's weird well
00:05:29.769 --> 00:05:33.449
it all of there's at least i guess i need to
00:05:33.449 --> 00:05:36.029
follow new social media stuff then because all
00:05:36.029 --> 00:05:38.410
of the social media stuff i still see is shout
00:05:38.410 --> 00:05:42.019
so Guess I'll have to get with the times then,
00:05:42.100 --> 00:05:47.490
folks. I'm an old man! Get off my lawn! But anyway,
00:05:47.769 --> 00:05:51.470
when it was announced that the physical media,
00:05:51.670 --> 00:05:55.829
the 4K, the Blu -ray, all of the physical media
00:05:55.829 --> 00:05:58.449
for Transformers the Movie, the 40th anniversary
00:05:58.449 --> 00:06:05.100
edition, was going to be released, the 4K specifically,
00:06:05.579 --> 00:06:10.860
because the main DVD cover is still the... I
00:06:10.860 --> 00:06:13.939
mean, no disrespect to whomever the artist is
00:06:13.939 --> 00:06:17.040
that did the main DVD cover. It's the one with
00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:21.019
Optimus, like, running into the camera. I just
00:06:21.019 --> 00:06:23.639
don't know who the artist is that did that. I
00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:26.860
don't know if that was AI art that did that or
00:06:26.860 --> 00:06:30.800
whatever. I don't know. No artist has come out
00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:34.279
and said, hey, that's my art. or whatever I know
00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:39.579
this art that's on the 4k cover is Marcelo Matera's
00:06:39.579 --> 00:06:44.980
art of the dead optimus arm dead optimus prime
00:06:44.980 --> 00:06:52.300
uh 40 years still hits like a truck so when the
00:06:52.300 --> 00:06:57.379
pre -orders went live it was that other art And
00:06:57.379 --> 00:07:00.620
it said art not yet final. Well, they finally
00:07:00.620 --> 00:07:04.240
finalized it and they finally given us the full
00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:09.550
package. Amazon just updated and they've given
00:07:09.550 --> 00:07:15.670
us looks at what the inside of the case of. So
00:07:15.670 --> 00:07:17.990
it isn't just the outside that we see. It's the
00:07:17.990 --> 00:07:24.370
inside, the backside and the discs. So the backside
00:07:24.370 --> 00:07:30.939
is Unicron. on the back the inside underneath
00:07:30.939 --> 00:07:35.480
the discs is optimus laying on the slab with
00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:38.720
his chest open and the matrix the matrix is colored
00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:43.550
he is not he is turned gray but the discard man
00:07:43.550 --> 00:07:48.209
the discard is the original poster with ultra
00:07:48.209 --> 00:07:52.529
magnet and i saw that i was like yeah yeah i
00:07:52.529 --> 00:07:56.430
have to look i'll Keep talking. I'm going to
00:07:56.430 --> 00:08:00.589
pull up my Transformers movie 20th and 30th anniversary
00:08:00.589 --> 00:08:05.339
to see what the discs look like. My discs are
00:08:05.339 --> 00:08:09.259
in the other room, if I remember correctly. Mine
00:08:09.259 --> 00:08:12.420
are literally in the cabinet part of my desk,
00:08:12.500 --> 00:08:16.680
so I just pulled them. My Transformers the movie
00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:24.199
20th anniversary special edition looks very similar
00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:31.120
in some regards. To the DVD version. Okay. There's
00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:33.539
a lot of similarities to it. In how it's formatted.
00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:36.519
How it's set up. The positioning of certain characters.
00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:39.899
Now I do know that these were artists. That drew
00:08:39.899 --> 00:08:42.580
that. And then they have like Grimlock on there.
00:08:42.820 --> 00:08:47.080
And you know. Other characters. A lot of the
00:08:47.080 --> 00:08:49.240
same ones that are in it though. Are in it in
00:08:49.240 --> 00:08:53.419
both. So I found that interesting. So the disc
00:08:53.419 --> 00:08:56.139
for the original. The 20th anniversary anyway.
00:08:56.679 --> 00:09:00.659
It has Unicron on disc one for the, uh, the widescreen
00:09:00.659 --> 00:09:03.139
and it has the matrix with energy coming off
00:09:03.139 --> 00:09:05.379
of it for disc two for the full screen. Yeah.
00:09:05.700 --> 00:09:12.600
So that's the Sony one, the, the 35th anniversary,
00:09:12.639 --> 00:09:15.679
I believe it is. Uh, yeah. The 4k restoration
00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:20.100
has like, yep. The, like when they're, they're
00:09:20.100 --> 00:09:22.399
doing the spinny thing into the techno techno
00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:24.500
world to do the, you know, and have the transformers
00:09:24.500 --> 00:09:27.460
logo come out of it. That's the thing that's
00:09:27.460 --> 00:09:30.340
on the first disc for the full frame Blu -ray.
00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:34.159
For the widescreen Ultra HD, it's Rodimus opening
00:09:34.159 --> 00:09:38.519
the Matrix with the disc thing in the middle,
00:09:38.580 --> 00:09:46.059
which I thought was kind of neat. I love the
00:09:46.059 --> 00:09:50.080
artwork for all of it. I really do. However,
00:09:50.299 --> 00:09:55.950
I don't know if I necessarily need another one.
00:09:56.399 --> 00:09:59.639
This is the last time. I'm happy to get it. I
00:09:59.639 --> 00:10:03.960
would be happy to get this limited edition steelbook
00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:07.620
to get this other artwork, this other stuff with
00:10:07.620 --> 00:10:09.240
the other special features that are added, but
00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:11.919
I probably won't buy another one. I would like
00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:14.000
to compare the three discs, however, and the
00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:17.679
features and appearances just to kind of do a
00:10:17.679 --> 00:10:22.600
compare and contrast. Yeah. so like, I, I think
00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:25.500
I said on, uh, on the, whatever the most recent
00:10:25.500 --> 00:10:28.779
all things transformers episode is, this will
00:10:28.779 --> 00:10:31.899
be my last time purchasing this movie because
00:10:31.899 --> 00:10:37.799
I don't think shout factory is going to do like
00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:44.700
a 42nd anniversary or like the next time we have
00:10:44.700 --> 00:10:58.299
a, a, uh, a, It's going to be 10 years from now
00:10:58.299 --> 00:11:04.190
in 2036 will be the next anniversary. I will
00:11:04.190 --> 00:11:12.659
be 56 years old at that point. And I don't think
00:11:12.659 --> 00:11:18.879
I'm going to need another version. I'm not sure
00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:23.840
what else they can do at this point. And I'm
00:11:23.840 --> 00:11:27.200
not trying to be negative about it. I'm not trying
00:11:27.200 --> 00:11:30.179
to be negative at all. I'm just saying whatever
00:11:30.179 --> 00:11:35.360
they're doing with the 40th anniversary version,
00:11:35.580 --> 00:11:41.720
it's going to have to be the best version of
00:11:42.320 --> 00:11:47.740
the movie that they've ever done. Like, the only
00:11:47.740 --> 00:11:51.539
way I'm buying a 50th anniversary version of
00:11:51.539 --> 00:11:54.659
this movie is if it's in 8K and we all have 8K
00:11:54.659 --> 00:11:59.529
TVs by then. That's the only way I'm buying this
00:11:59.529 --> 00:12:05.919
thing again for another time kind of thing. Because
00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:11.750
I just don't know what else they're going to
00:12:11.750 --> 00:12:15.490
be able to do in my personal lifetime. Like,
00:12:15.490 --> 00:12:19.110
for new people, it's great. For younger people,
00:12:19.370 --> 00:12:22.950
it's amazing. It's awesome. Don't get me wrong.
00:12:23.129 --> 00:12:27.740
Again, not trying to, you know, whatever. uh
00:12:27.740 --> 00:12:33.950
but it's just one of those things where i'm trying
00:12:33.950 --> 00:12:37.389
okay new presented in dolmy atmos for the first
00:12:37.389 --> 00:12:41.590
time optimus prime awakening animated companion
00:12:41.590 --> 00:12:50.220
piece will be on this version yeah see i don't
00:12:50.220 --> 00:12:53.960
think i don't think they're doing anything additionally
00:12:53.960 --> 00:12:58.600
to transformers the movie On this version, I
00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:01.539
think this is going to be a one -to -one transfer
00:13:01.539 --> 00:13:07.879
of the movie itself from the 4K that was on the
00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:13.059
35th. The one that we currently have with Hot
00:13:13.059 --> 00:13:19.200
Rod opening the Matrix on the front of the cover.
00:13:19.559 --> 00:13:23.179
The one that we currently have that says 4K Ultra
00:13:23.179 --> 00:13:27.440
HD in Blu -ray. I think that's the version we're
00:13:27.440 --> 00:13:30.259
going to get as far as the movie itself. I don't
00:13:30.259 --> 00:13:36.289
think there's any new features other than the
00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:40.000
ones I literally just read from this Amazon listing.
00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:46.100
They upgraded it to Dolby Atmos for the sound
00:13:46.100 --> 00:13:51.860
or for the vision. Great. Awesome. We get the
00:13:51.860 --> 00:13:55.549
Optimus Prime Awakening short. Awesome. We get
00:13:55.549 --> 00:13:59.970
the reformatted edition touch the touch music
00:13:59.970 --> 00:14:04.970
video. OK, cool. And we get the 40th anniversary
00:14:04.970 --> 00:14:09.429
screening theatrical trailer. OK, cool. Great.
00:14:09.950 --> 00:14:15.690
But that's it. They're like, I don't know. They
00:14:15.690 --> 00:14:17.889
could have put they should have put the and I
00:14:17.889 --> 00:14:19.690
know this has been a long time coming. These
00:14:19.690 --> 00:14:23.539
are already well overprinted. They the clip that
00:14:23.539 --> 00:14:26.700
was included with the movie. And I get that they
00:14:26.700 --> 00:14:30.659
put it on their YouTube channel. But the one
00:14:30.659 --> 00:14:33.179
that was a tribute to Peter Cullen. Yeah, they
00:14:33.179 --> 00:14:35.440
should have put that on here. Maybe it is on
00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:37.799
here and it's just not listed in the Amazon listing.
00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:42.279
I don't know. Yeah, I have no idea, but I'm either
00:14:42.279 --> 00:14:47.440
way. I'm excited for this as a final, you know,
00:14:47.440 --> 00:14:49.500
it's got prime on the cover. I mean, yeah, he's
00:14:49.500 --> 00:14:58.379
dead, but I, I, I'm excited. for for it again
00:14:58.379 --> 00:15:01.440
i'm also curious to see if it's been upgraded
00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:03.600
because if it's the same copy that was on the
00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:06.799
theater screen like there were issues with a
00:15:06.799 --> 00:15:10.879
lot of grainy elements in certain sections uh
00:15:11.009 --> 00:15:15.029
it like it was super pixelated and like blown
00:15:15.029 --> 00:15:17.990
out like it wasn't made for that resolution yeah
00:15:17.990 --> 00:15:22.250
uh so i'm hoping that this isn't that uh i need
00:15:22.250 --> 00:15:26.419
to re -watch my my Blu -ray of it and my 20th
00:15:26.419 --> 00:15:31.490
anniversary just to compare notes at this point
00:15:31.490 --> 00:15:38.370
because I really don't know. Which is why I think
00:15:38.370 --> 00:15:42.970
they're going to use the 4K transfer from the
00:15:42.970 --> 00:15:47.360
35th, not... Whatever is and maybe that I don't
00:15:47.360 --> 00:15:50.740
know. Is that what they used in? I don't know.
00:15:50.759 --> 00:15:53.139
I don't know what they I didn't go to the theater.
00:15:53.220 --> 00:15:55.799
So I have no idea what they used. I have no idea
00:15:55.799 --> 00:15:59.669
what they used. I just know that there was some
00:15:59.669 --> 00:16:01.870
elements I could tell were higher definition.
00:16:02.610 --> 00:16:04.710
And then there were some elements that were uber
00:16:04.710 --> 00:16:09.399
grainy and pixelated. And I was like, what? Yeah.
00:16:10.070 --> 00:16:12.669
So and I'm sure some of its original or it might
00:16:12.669 --> 00:16:14.679
even be the original. you know playing of the
00:16:14.679 --> 00:16:17.509
movie I don't know but because obviously I didn't
00:16:17.509 --> 00:16:19.669
see it the first time I know people that have
00:16:19.669 --> 00:16:21.909
seen it the first time in the theater and I'm
00:16:21.909 --> 00:16:23.570
not one of them because I was born the same year
00:16:23.570 --> 00:16:27.809
I would have had no use for Transformers at that
00:16:27.809 --> 00:16:32.350
point but yeah so I'm I'm excited to see what
00:16:32.350 --> 00:16:35.750
what is new with it and and check it out and
00:16:35.750 --> 00:16:39.389
yeah I agree it'll be it'll be my last of the
00:16:39.389 --> 00:16:45.090
Transformers disc sets of at least of the movie
00:16:45.090 --> 00:16:49.049
I still plan to possibly I still plan to possibly
00:16:49.049 --> 00:16:53.330
get generation one yeah like the whole series
00:16:53.330 --> 00:16:56.690
on disc I haven't they sell it at Walmart it's
00:16:56.690 --> 00:16:58.590
like 36 bucks I just haven't pulled the trigger
00:16:58.590 --> 00:17:04.009
on it yet I do want it I'm just like yeah I'm
00:17:04.009 --> 00:17:08.950
kind of heen and hawn I bought The entire Star
00:17:08.950 --> 00:17:12.289
Trek film collection on Blu -ray and the first
00:17:12.289 --> 00:17:16.210
six movies are 4K upgraded. They just don't explicitly
00:17:16.210 --> 00:17:19.390
say it until they don't advertise it on the cover.
00:17:19.569 --> 00:17:23.349
But if you open it up, it says that they have
00:17:23.349 --> 00:17:26.730
the regular and then the 4K remaster in there
00:17:26.730 --> 00:17:30.210
of those. And then they have the four TNG films,
00:17:30.390 --> 00:17:31.950
which were higher definition than the original
00:17:31.950 --> 00:17:37.289
six. And then I have the entire DCAU. Outside
00:17:37.289 --> 00:17:40.569
of Superman the Animated Series now. Nice. Very
00:17:40.569 --> 00:17:45.069
cool. Very cool. So this will fit nicely with
00:17:45.069 --> 00:17:48.829
that nice little collection I have going. Very
00:17:48.829 --> 00:17:54.960
cool. And then as far as other Transformers stuff.
00:17:55.140 --> 00:18:04.549
Yes. So I just saw this and they had linked the
00:18:04.549 --> 00:18:09.089
2027 Age of Evolution or Age of Megatron, whatever
00:18:09.089 --> 00:18:11.329
the line is going to be called. I've heard both.
00:18:11.490 --> 00:18:14.470
I've heard Megatron Rising is a toy line. But
00:18:14.470 --> 00:18:19.019
I've also seen that they've dropped the Age of
00:18:19.019 --> 00:18:24.259
Evolution. And TFW is pretty bad about consistency.
00:18:25.180 --> 00:18:29.240
Because literally yesterday, it says 2027 Age
00:18:29.240 --> 00:18:32.440
of Evolution listings. And then today it says
00:18:32.440 --> 00:18:36.730
that Hasbro's dropped the Age of Evolution. name
00:18:36.799 --> 00:18:40.359
and gone with Megatron rising which is coinciding
00:18:40.359 --> 00:18:47.349
with the awakening clip yeah as far as I can
00:18:47.349 --> 00:18:50.529
tell like of where Megatron you know yeah so
00:18:50.529 --> 00:18:53.420
I won't spoil it on here in case somebody hasn't
00:18:53.420 --> 00:18:55.839
watched it but it's it'll be on the disc I'm
00:18:55.839 --> 00:18:58.940
sure and then on YouTube and everywhere else
00:18:58.940 --> 00:19:02.920
so anyways the toy line is gonna be called Megatron
00:19:02.920 --> 00:19:05.470
rising and it's a the story is in a timeline
00:19:05.470 --> 00:19:07.910
Optimus Prime the Autobots defeated the Decepticons
00:19:07.910 --> 00:19:10.670
and won the war but in order to do that the Autobots
00:19:10.670 --> 00:19:14.190
got corrupted shattered glass and you know they
00:19:14.190 --> 00:19:17.009
rule Cybertron as tyrants and you know the Autobots
00:19:17.009 --> 00:19:19.509
are still good but you know they're remnant Decepticons
00:19:19.509 --> 00:19:24.329
and you know the Megatrons do what Megatrons
00:19:24.329 --> 00:19:28.009
do yeah cross the multiverse and collects to
00:19:28.009 --> 00:19:32.349
fight the evil Prime and has a combining gimmick
00:19:32.349 --> 00:19:34.940
anyways they're gonna have a multitude of new
00:19:34.940 --> 00:19:39.920
figures. Among them are like GoBots, Megatron,
00:19:40.059 --> 00:19:46.420
a stylized G1 Mirage, a new tooling of Studio
00:19:46.900 --> 00:19:49.279
Series 86, Leader Astro Train. They're going
00:19:49.279 --> 00:19:52.349
to have some steamroller guy. They're going to
00:19:52.349 --> 00:19:57.109
have Leader Scorponok. It's not Energon, but
00:19:57.750 --> 00:19:59.829
they're saying it's a tooling kind of baked in
00:19:59.829 --> 00:20:04.029
of some sort. something to an homage of an IDW
00:20:04.029 --> 00:20:07.910
or BotCon 2014. They're also going to have a
00:20:07.910 --> 00:20:12.480
corrupt Optimus. It says reactivate redeco, or
00:20:12.480 --> 00:20:15.859
it looks meaner. In a Voyager, they're going
00:20:15.859 --> 00:20:17.819
to have a corrupted Prowl, a corrupted Bee, a
00:20:17.819 --> 00:20:24.049
corrupted Slug, which is Slag. And then there's
00:20:24.950 --> 00:20:29.329
a Voyager Ironhide Demolisher too. The one that
00:20:29.329 --> 00:20:31.190
concerns me the most is they're going to have
00:20:31.190 --> 00:20:34.549
a Transmetal It's been listed as Transmetal Megatron.
00:20:36.009 --> 00:20:40.029
And from the initial, everybody was super excited,
00:20:40.230 --> 00:20:43.549
like uber excited. Present company included.
00:20:44.490 --> 00:20:51.609
Until JT Prime 17 on the TFW boards. He's got
00:20:51.609 --> 00:20:53.730
like a target in or he works there or something.
00:20:53.809 --> 00:20:57.509
So he gets like all these Transformer product
00:20:57.509 --> 00:21:02.740
numbers and things. So anyways. I don't know
00:21:02.740 --> 00:21:04.720
if he sees the image of what they are or the
00:21:04.720 --> 00:21:09.400
description, but it's hard to say because we
00:21:09.400 --> 00:21:14.289
don't see any of that stuff. But he posted that
00:21:14.289 --> 00:21:17.789
this one's going to really upset people, saying
00:21:17.789 --> 00:21:20.910
that he's going to be a remold of Kingdom Megatron.
00:21:21.130 --> 00:21:23.509
Looks good in beast mode. Bot mode is not very
00:21:23.509 --> 00:21:28.940
accurate. To which everybody lost their colossal
00:21:28.940 --> 00:21:32.779
crap. Yes. On the FW. Myself included. Because
00:21:32.779 --> 00:21:37.460
I'm like, I've been... This is the one. Hasbro
00:21:37.460 --> 00:21:41.859
could do anything with Beast Wars. This is the
00:21:41.859 --> 00:21:47.799
one that every fan wants a show accurate figure.
00:21:48.319 --> 00:21:54.019
Do not screw with Transmetal Megatron. Literally,
00:21:54.359 --> 00:21:57.099
that is the figure because of the gold plastic
00:21:57.099 --> 00:21:59.839
syndrome, which funny enough, the gold plastic
00:21:59.839 --> 00:22:02.759
on him was not what broke. It was the brown plastic.
00:22:03.410 --> 00:22:10.089
Yep. So his chest, his shoulders, his arms, and
00:22:10.089 --> 00:22:13.490
his upper part of his legs and the head are all
00:22:13.490 --> 00:22:17.740
made of the same plastic. And somebody actually
00:22:17.740 --> 00:22:21.339
created a 3D print file to replace the torso,
00:22:21.420 --> 00:22:23.759
like the upper part of the arms from the elbow
00:22:23.759 --> 00:22:28.160
up and from the knee up, up to the neck of Megatron
00:22:28.160 --> 00:22:30.519
and 3D printed the whole thing and it transforms.
00:22:32.869 --> 00:22:35.109
was able to replace all of the broken the parts
00:22:35.109 --> 00:22:38.130
that shatter and repaint it and have it look
00:22:38.130 --> 00:22:41.950
like the original toy and it's such a hot commodity
00:22:41.950 --> 00:22:44.309
in the the collector space that i mean i've had
00:22:44.309 --> 00:22:47.789
four of these and that each one is broken from
00:22:47.789 --> 00:22:51.450
the same problem and i've tried to preserve them
00:22:51.450 --> 00:22:53.589
i've tried not to transform them i've tried to
00:22:53.589 --> 00:22:55.529
just do anything and then they just like they
00:22:55.529 --> 00:23:00.900
get brittle and they just shatter um and I have
00:23:00.900 --> 00:23:02.759
I have the trans art version of it, which is
00:23:02.759 --> 00:23:05.299
awesome. Don't get me wrong, but I would love
00:23:05.299 --> 00:23:09.220
a Hasbro official re -release of something and
00:23:09.220 --> 00:23:12.259
then hopefully do it justice. And to hear this,
00:23:12.259 --> 00:23:15.779
it's extremely discouraging. I'm hoping Hasbro
00:23:15.779 --> 00:23:19.279
has another angle on it. I would love to hear
00:23:19.279 --> 00:23:21.640
another angle on it, and I hope that it's not
00:23:21.640 --> 00:23:28.059
true. But only time will tell. I mean, I'm glad
00:23:28.059 --> 00:23:30.769
it's a leader. I'm glad in that sense. I'm hoping
00:23:30.769 --> 00:23:34.109
that it's more than just a redeco or a remold.
00:23:34.809 --> 00:23:38.710
It could be a heavy remold. It may transform
00:23:38.710 --> 00:23:44.339
the same. Maybe that's the case. And then replace
00:23:44.339 --> 00:23:46.579
a lot of the parts and share some common components.
00:23:47.660 --> 00:23:49.579
I think I could live with a couple of common
00:23:49.579 --> 00:23:52.720
components, but it's like you can't really screw
00:23:52.720 --> 00:23:56.240
with the transformation too much. There's only
00:23:56.240 --> 00:23:58.670
so many places you can... go with it i mean if
00:23:58.670 --> 00:24:00.609
trans art could figure it out and make a show
00:24:00.609 --> 00:24:02.970
accurate version that hasbro apparently can't
00:24:02.970 --> 00:24:08.799
do there's no reason why they can't do this either
00:24:08.890 --> 00:24:11.569
way like if it's if it comes out decent enough
00:24:11.569 --> 00:24:13.289
i'm almost wondering if they're going to do the
00:24:13.289 --> 00:24:15.289
10th anniversary thing all over again where we
00:24:15.289 --> 00:24:19.230
got that deluxe figure yeah where it looks like
00:24:19.230 --> 00:24:21.529
a kind of like what the transmittal probably
00:24:21.529 --> 00:24:24.369
should have been of megatron and optimus primal
00:24:24.369 --> 00:24:27.890
right I'm wondering if they're going to go that
00:24:27.890 --> 00:24:30.309
route with it, and that's going to be their quote
00:24:30.309 --> 00:24:34.029
-unquote transmetal, which they used those two
00:24:34.029 --> 00:24:37.430
molds in Transformers Earth Wars video game on
00:24:37.430 --> 00:24:41.920
the phone rather than the actual transmetal of
00:24:41.920 --> 00:24:45.440
both Primal and Megatron. So I'm wondering if
00:24:45.440 --> 00:24:47.720
they're going to do that, and that's what the
00:24:47.720 --> 00:24:50.259
transmetal is meaning here. Instead of the original
00:24:50.259 --> 00:24:51.920
transmetal, they're going to go with the 10th
00:24:51.920 --> 00:24:56.849
anniversary transmetal. Hmm. Could be. Either
00:24:56.849 --> 00:25:01.220
way, I'm only going to get it because it's going
00:25:01.220 --> 00:25:05.460
to be a stinking Beast Wars Megatron. I'm just
00:25:05.460 --> 00:25:07.940
being for real. I've 3D printed a Beast Machine
00:25:07.940 --> 00:25:11.829
Megatron. I've 3D printed the IDW Megatron. I've
00:25:11.829 --> 00:25:15.180
made the Dawn of Future Past Megatron. And I
00:25:15.180 --> 00:25:17.559
have a buttload of other Megatrons. I mean, I
00:25:17.559 --> 00:25:20.319
have the Yolo Park one sitting on my shelf, too.
00:25:22.089 --> 00:25:26.259
It's fun, too. So, I mean, I don't know. I'm
00:25:26.259 --> 00:25:30.440
a cranky fan, but not totally going to go against
00:25:30.440 --> 00:25:34.359
either if it's Megatron. But I really hope they
00:25:34.359 --> 00:25:40.750
can make it show accurate. Yeah. And I'm really
00:25:40.750 --> 00:25:44.730
hoping that next year they can do something more
00:25:44.730 --> 00:25:48.470
with Beast Wars, because don't get me wrong,
00:25:48.750 --> 00:25:56.180
I get it. 86 is very important. It is. So is
00:25:56.180 --> 00:26:04.650
96. 96 saved your asses, Hasbro. It did. 96 saved
00:26:04.650 --> 00:26:09.589
the brand. It revived Transformers. Yeah, and
00:26:09.589 --> 00:26:15.250
what, two 7 -packs? One for Maximals, one for
00:26:15.250 --> 00:26:19.799
Predacons? Outside of those two giant packs,
00:26:20.180 --> 00:26:25.450
and maybe a handful of other toys? Like, I haven't
00:26:25.450 --> 00:26:31.039
seen... much like oh my god biggest beast wars
00:26:31.039 --> 00:26:37.220
blah blah blah like like damn what a way to waste
00:26:37.640 --> 00:26:49.109
a 30th anniversary well true so yeah maybe maybe
00:26:49.109 --> 00:26:51.230
if they don't have anything for the 50th anniversary
00:26:51.230 --> 00:26:53.470
of transformers the movie they'll do something
00:26:53.470 --> 00:26:56.089
special for the 40th anniversary of beast wars
00:26:56.089 --> 00:27:02.779
in 10 years I doubt it. It's like, come on, man.
00:27:03.160 --> 00:27:06.859
Come on. Make us a Beast Wars movie with, you
00:27:06.859 --> 00:27:11.579
know, Simon Furman and Bob Forward. Yeah, that'd
00:27:11.579 --> 00:27:14.000
be nice. And then bring back what's left of the
00:27:14.000 --> 00:27:17.819
original cast before they, you know, sadly go
00:27:18.039 --> 00:27:20.880
the way of the Matrix. Don't finish that sentence.
00:27:21.380 --> 00:27:24.779
I know. All right. Well, I love Beast Wars. I
00:27:24.779 --> 00:27:28.910
love my actors for it. Absolutely. like let's
00:27:28.910 --> 00:27:32.349
give them one more shot yeah give them their
00:27:32.349 --> 00:27:35.049
transformers the movie moment yes absolutely
00:27:35.049 --> 00:27:38.390
that is not rise of the beasts because that doesn't
00:27:38.390 --> 00:27:43.150
count let's do let's do the the prequel to beast
00:27:43.150 --> 00:27:45.630
wars when they were getting ready to go to earth
00:27:45.630 --> 00:27:49.190
like yeah that would that showing how all the
00:27:49.190 --> 00:27:51.009
crews came together you know i know they did
00:27:51.009 --> 00:27:53.549
you know after the golden disc but i would like
00:27:53.549 --> 00:27:55.210
to see something a little bit more meaty right
00:27:55.210 --> 00:27:59.329
there you know I know they've done it in comics,
00:27:59.430 --> 00:28:04.700
but yeah. Yeah, well, you know, again, that would
00:28:04.700 --> 00:28:09.359
be very, very cool. So moving on, we have Darkwing
00:28:09.359 --> 00:28:14.230
Duck. Let's get dangerous. All right, coming
00:28:14.230 --> 00:28:18.930
out of St. Canard, September 22nd, 2026. An all
00:28:18.930 --> 00:28:22.329
-new Darkwing Duck series has been greenlit for
00:28:22.329 --> 00:28:25.549
Disney +, bringing back Drake Mallard as the
00:28:25.549 --> 00:28:29.079
iconic crime fighter Darkwing Duck. This action
00:28:29.079 --> 00:28:31.579
-packed continuation of the beloved franchise
00:28:31.579 --> 00:28:36.400
comes from Sean Treta from Star Trek Picard.
00:28:36.579 --> 00:28:42.170
And I'm going to... Somebody else. I'm not even
00:28:42.170 --> 00:28:45.190
going to pronounce the person's name. I can't.
00:28:45.190 --> 00:28:48.230
I'll butcher it so hard it isn't even funny.
00:28:48.390 --> 00:28:51.009
I pride myself on being able to pronounce things,
00:28:51.130 --> 00:28:53.309
folks. I can't pronounce that person's name.
00:28:54.039 --> 00:28:58.079
That person worked on Lost and Crowned, who both
00:28:58.079 --> 00:29:01.700
serve as executive producers. Seth Rogen, Evan
00:29:01.700 --> 00:29:06.480
Goldberg, James Weaver, Alex McTea, or McAtee,
00:29:06.480 --> 00:29:11.140
and Gabby Grantham are producing for Point Grey
00:29:11.140 --> 00:29:14.440
Pictures. Tad Stones is the creator of the original
00:29:14.440 --> 00:29:18.400
Darkwing Duck series and consulted on the development
00:29:18.400 --> 00:29:22.049
of his new adventures. Speaking of his new adventures,
00:29:22.250 --> 00:29:26.809
this is the synopsis for it, or the overall description
00:29:26.809 --> 00:29:30.579
of what it's supposed to be. For the last 35
00:29:30.579 --> 00:29:33.420
years, Darkwing Duck has been trapped in his
00:29:33.420 --> 00:29:36.640
worst nightmare, an alternate world that's never
00:29:36.640 --> 00:29:40.920
heard of his superhero exploits. Now a rebellious
00:29:40.920 --> 00:29:46.359
teen, named Ducky, who knows all about his heroic
00:29:46.359 --> 00:29:51.099
past, shows up to pull this ego -fueled vigilante
00:29:51.099 --> 00:29:54.680
back into battle. Together, this unlikely duo
00:29:54.680 --> 00:29:57.740
will get dangerous to fight old enemies like
00:29:57.740 --> 00:30:01.240
Negaduck and Megavolt and reunite with allies
00:30:01.240 --> 00:30:05.180
such as Launchpad, Gosselin, and Morgana to save
00:30:05.180 --> 00:30:09.140
the entire universe. The lead cast includes Mark
00:30:09.140 --> 00:30:12.609
Hamill from... Things Everyone Knows Mark Hamill
00:30:12.609 --> 00:30:15.250
From, Batman Animated Series, Arkham Asylum,
00:30:15.289 --> 00:30:19.119
and more. As the voice of Drake Mallard, a .k
00:30:19.119 --> 00:30:23.440
.a. Darkwing Duck, Seth Rogen, as Launchpad,
00:30:23.660 --> 00:30:29.980
Lizzie Kaplan, as Gosselin Mallard, Lily Marr,
00:30:29.980 --> 00:30:35.319
as Ducky, Dan Stevens, as Glade McTowers, Tiffany
00:30:35.319 --> 00:30:40.630
Shepis, and sorry. She was also in Picard as
00:30:40.630 --> 00:30:48.049
Rosa, Catherine Newton, as Firecracker, and more.
00:30:49.839 --> 00:30:53.579
Disney said, let's get dangerous, and we said,
00:30:53.640 --> 00:30:57.480
hell yeah, shared the Point Grey team. Like every
00:30:57.480 --> 00:31:00.119
other fan of the original show, I'm excited to
00:31:00.119 --> 00:31:02.960
see Darkwing getting dangerous again in a whole
00:31:02.960 --> 00:31:06.200
new series, said Tad Stones. The new creative
00:31:06.200 --> 00:31:09.700
team has certainly amped up the action and comedy
00:31:09.700 --> 00:31:13.079
without forgetting the Disney heart. This series
00:31:13.079 --> 00:31:17.240
places DW in the literary tradition of Robin
00:31:17.240 --> 00:31:21.359
Hood, Zorro, and Sherlock Holmes, heroes whose
00:31:21.359 --> 00:31:28.750
lore has been... Reinterpreted by multiple creators
00:31:28.750 --> 00:31:32.230
in multiple mediums, they explored the core of
00:31:32.230 --> 00:31:35.130
those characters by tossing them into new eras,
00:31:35.130 --> 00:31:38.990
new relationships, and even new universes. No
00:31:38.990 --> 00:31:42.269
matter when or where, Darkwing Duck will appear
00:31:42.269 --> 00:31:46.390
in a cloud of smoke, blue smoke, and grab the
00:31:46.390 --> 00:31:49.480
spotlight. Produced by Disney Television Animation,
00:31:49.980 --> 00:31:52.660
the Emmy Award -nominated original Darkwing Duck
00:31:52.660 --> 00:31:56.180
series ran for 91 episodes, originally premiered
00:31:56.180 --> 00:32:00.119
on Disney Channel, and then aired on ABC in syndication
00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:04.700
beginning in 1991. ABC run concluded in 1993,
00:32:05.059 --> 00:32:10.640
with a syndication run wrapping up in 1995. Uh,
00:32:10.799 --> 00:32:15.180
so yeah, that's a dark wing duck. We'll be coming
00:32:15.180 --> 00:32:20.440
back to Disney plus does not say when does not
00:32:20.440 --> 00:32:25.960
say it just says it's going to be that the series
00:32:25.960 --> 00:32:29.579
has been greenlit. I think the biggest thing
00:32:29.579 --> 00:32:33.119
for me coming out of this is Mark Hamill as the
00:32:33.119 --> 00:32:38.329
voice of Drake Mallard as slash dark wing. I
00:32:38.329 --> 00:32:40.930
love Mark to death. He's an amazing voice actor.
00:32:41.559 --> 00:32:44.980
but you compare what Jim Cummings did as the
00:32:44.980 --> 00:32:49.259
original character and what I know Mark's voice
00:32:49.259 --> 00:32:53.099
to sound like as the multiple voices Mark has
00:32:53.099 --> 00:32:56.259
done over the years. And obviously we don't know
00:32:56.259 --> 00:32:58.539
what Mark's going to do this time around, but
00:32:58.539 --> 00:33:03.500
I just don't feel like his voices will fit that
00:33:03.500 --> 00:33:08.640
character. I agree with you. I am not a fan of
00:33:08.640 --> 00:33:16.140
what's going down right now. Like I, no offense
00:33:16.140 --> 00:33:18.859
against Mark but Mark plays Mark like he plays
00:33:18.859 --> 00:33:21.720
he plays various levels of the Joker like he
00:33:21.720 --> 00:33:26.130
doesn't really have much range anymore like unless
00:33:26.130 --> 00:33:29.509
it's like uber deep it all sounds the same like
00:33:31.619 --> 00:33:33.880
we get various stages of the Joker when he played
00:33:33.880 --> 00:33:36.059
Skeletor we had some ups and downs but it still
00:33:36.059 --> 00:33:38.660
sounded like the Joker just in a different manner
00:33:38.660 --> 00:33:43.220
yeah but and I'm not like I'm not knocking the
00:33:43.220 --> 00:33:44.859
dude because like I love his work I love the
00:33:44.859 --> 00:33:50.740
Joker I love you know Luke Skywalker but I don't
00:33:50.740 --> 00:33:54.299
love that they're shoehorning him into everything
00:33:54.299 --> 00:33:56.579
it kind of reminds me of like the whole like
00:33:56.579 --> 00:33:58.460
when everybody you know everything was Benedict
00:33:58.460 --> 00:34:05.309
Cumberbatch or you know what's his nuts from
00:34:05.309 --> 00:34:14.809
Fantastic Four oh not Chris Mandalorian oh Pedro
00:34:14.809 --> 00:34:17.409
Pedro Pascal like I can't stand the dude like
00:34:17.409 --> 00:34:22.019
he's in everything like So like it's getting
00:34:22.019 --> 00:34:23.639
to that point like we're getting to that fever
00:34:23.639 --> 00:34:25.780
pitch of where like Mark is in too much crap
00:34:25.780 --> 00:34:29.539
and then like especially to reboot something
00:34:29.539 --> 00:34:31.800
if you're going to reboot it like at least get
00:34:31.800 --> 00:34:35.059
like relative unknowns to do it or you know start
00:34:35.059 --> 00:34:39.469
over with younger actors. These guys are all
00:34:39.469 --> 00:34:41.630
like old like if you're going to pull somebody
00:34:41.630 --> 00:34:45.449
that's in their 70s to get the original guy like
00:34:45.449 --> 00:34:48.190
don't don't play this game. I don't understand.
00:34:48.269 --> 00:34:50.409
I don't know. And I haven't done the research
00:34:50.409 --> 00:34:53.409
on it as to why does, I don't understand what
00:34:53.409 --> 00:35:00.820
the, what the, the, the beef is between Disney
00:35:00.820 --> 00:35:03.380
and Cummings. I don't know if there is any beef
00:35:03.380 --> 00:35:05.940
between Disney and Cummings. I don't know if
00:35:05.940 --> 00:35:09.199
it's Disney's issue versus like, I don't think
00:35:09.199 --> 00:35:12.159
like I watched Jim's podcast every once in a
00:35:12.159 --> 00:35:16.340
while on YouTube. I, he's never said a bad word
00:35:16.340 --> 00:35:19.639
about them to my knowledge. at least the episodes
00:35:19.639 --> 00:35:24.519
I've seen recently, uh, you know, always very
00:35:24.519 --> 00:35:27.800
respectful. So I, I don't know what happened
00:35:27.800 --> 00:35:30.239
there. And they snubbed him too, with like the
00:35:30.239 --> 00:35:33.159
achievement award stuff. I mean, he's done Winnie
00:35:33.159 --> 00:35:35.300
the Pooh, Tigger, like all, you know, Darkwing,
00:35:35.360 --> 00:35:38.469
like he's been a part of most of Disney's animation
00:35:38.469 --> 00:35:43.269
lineup for, you know, four decades. Yeah. Like,
00:35:43.329 --> 00:35:47.699
why are we screwing this guy over? Yeah. I don't
00:35:47.699 --> 00:35:53.550
know. It's just, It's just crazy. I don't know.
00:36:00.400 --> 00:36:07.510
So, yes, moving on, we'll go to the fact that
00:36:07.510 --> 00:36:15.039
we got Timu Toys R Us now. Yeah. Oh, God. So,
00:36:15.059 --> 00:36:19.230
have you seen one of these new stores? No. So,
00:36:19.269 --> 00:36:24.190
I've been in one. Okay. We have one about 35
00:36:24.190 --> 00:36:27.230
minutes from where I live, closer to, like, Denver
00:36:27.230 --> 00:36:31.539
area. And I was like, OK, I want to check it
00:36:31.539 --> 00:36:33.980
out. It's like in the Thornton Mall and it's
00:36:33.980 --> 00:36:35.880
a pretty big shopping area. And I was like, OK,
00:36:36.000 --> 00:36:37.699
you know, they used to have a toy store here
00:36:37.699 --> 00:36:39.500
and then it closed down. It was like one of those
00:36:39.500 --> 00:36:42.780
go go games or something, you know, the place
00:36:42.780 --> 00:36:45.800
that had the calendars and a bunch of other miscellaneous
00:36:45.800 --> 00:36:50.500
crap. So they put a Toys R Us in there and it's
00:36:51.360 --> 00:36:57.800
trying very hard to be Toys R Us. It's not. it's
00:36:57.800 --> 00:37:02.559
not even a good like KB toys. Like it's, it's
00:37:02.559 --> 00:37:08.960
very much a toy store ish that they slap the
00:37:08.960 --> 00:37:12.889
Toys R Us label on. And they have like three
00:37:12.889 --> 00:37:16.190
storefront size, you know, space. And you would
00:37:16.190 --> 00:37:18.230
think that like, and it's rented in a mall, like
00:37:18.230 --> 00:37:22.179
it's not even its own building. It, which, okay,
00:37:22.239 --> 00:37:24.119
I get that. They're, they're restarting. They're
00:37:24.119 --> 00:37:27.210
trying this again. The expansion is with like
00:37:27.210 --> 00:37:30.190
go retail group. So they're bringing Toys R Us
00:37:30.190 --> 00:37:33.650
to more customers across America and new store
00:37:33.650 --> 00:37:37.619
experiences. And so I went to these things and
00:37:37.619 --> 00:37:39.300
I don't know what they're doing with some of
00:37:39.300 --> 00:37:41.920
these other ones, like the one in Texas or anything,
00:37:42.019 --> 00:37:45.929
but the one that we have here, not counting the
00:37:45.929 --> 00:37:48.010
ones that they put in certain Macy's stores nationwide,
00:37:48.230 --> 00:37:52.170
the one that they have here, you go inside and
00:37:52.170 --> 00:37:55.050
it's kind of sad. Like there's no character to
00:37:55.050 --> 00:37:57.489
it. It's boring. It doesn't remind you of the
00:37:57.489 --> 00:38:00.760
old one. Like it's. very much white walls it's
00:38:00.760 --> 00:38:04.360
very bland there's no color there's you know
00:38:04.360 --> 00:38:09.579
big empty spaces between shelving units uh the
00:38:09.579 --> 00:38:12.659
shelving units mind you are only like is they're
00:38:12.659 --> 00:38:14.760
like four foot tall so like you're over four
00:38:14.760 --> 00:38:16.400
foot like you're seeing over everything like
00:38:16.400 --> 00:38:19.599
you can see the whole store uh from one end to
00:38:19.599 --> 00:38:24.139
the other and it's I don't know. Like, it's kind
00:38:24.139 --> 00:38:27.519
of just sad looking. And they have these nice
00:38:27.519 --> 00:38:31.019
little kiosks of stuff and the wall space and
00:38:31.019 --> 00:38:32.360
everything else. Like, all the walls are kind
00:38:32.360 --> 00:38:36.329
of covered, kind of. Yeah. But it doesn't evoke
00:38:36.329 --> 00:38:38.630
that feeling that you got, like, going into a
00:38:38.630 --> 00:38:40.349
Toys R Us. Like, you just knew that you were
00:38:40.349 --> 00:38:42.250
going to see, like, the biggest variety of toys
00:38:42.250 --> 00:38:45.230
you've ever seen and, you know, exclusives. You
00:38:45.230 --> 00:38:47.710
know, they still have the premium pricing. Yeah,
00:38:47.710 --> 00:38:49.869
of course they do. Yeah, they still have that.
00:38:49.969 --> 00:38:54.199
Like, that's something they kept. But part of
00:38:54.199 --> 00:38:58.860
the boneheaded part of it is then they have these
00:38:58.860 --> 00:39:01.280
sections of the store. Like, it's smack in the
00:39:01.280 --> 00:39:04.360
middle of the store. And I don't know what's
00:39:04.360 --> 00:39:10.570
up with these... I call them S -boxes. Infer
00:39:10.570 --> 00:39:13.969
what you will from the S. But they're like those...
00:39:13.969 --> 00:39:15.809
You know how Toys R Us, on the way out, they
00:39:15.809 --> 00:39:17.809
used to have the little quarter machines where
00:39:17.809 --> 00:39:20.789
you get the little junk toys? Yep. And you knew
00:39:20.789 --> 00:39:22.610
they were crap. Like, you knew they were crap.
00:39:22.989 --> 00:39:26.650
so they have these big kiosks in the middle of
00:39:26.650 --> 00:39:31.659
the store big ugly green things and they they
00:39:31.659 --> 00:39:34.539
take you know of course dollars because nothing
00:39:34.539 --> 00:39:38.960
takes a quarter anymore and it's it's like useless
00:39:38.960 --> 00:39:43.099
junk like but it's like all of these boxes are
00:39:43.099 --> 00:39:45.519
useless junk like there's nothing good in them
00:39:45.519 --> 00:39:49.329
and And it's all like stuff from like China and
00:39:49.329 --> 00:39:51.590
Japan and stuff, but it's like all this off brand,
00:39:51.730 --> 00:39:54.170
like nothing, nothing is branded. Like it's all
00:39:54.170 --> 00:39:57.150
just these, it almost looks like when you go
00:39:57.150 --> 00:39:58.630
to a festival and you've got all these people
00:39:58.630 --> 00:40:00.510
that have 3d printed the stupid wiggly dragon
00:40:00.510 --> 00:40:03.250
thing. And they're like, look at my 3d print
00:40:03.250 --> 00:40:07.369
tour that I just made and pay it for $10 for
00:40:07.369 --> 00:40:08.829
this. And it's like, dude, I could print this
00:40:08.829 --> 00:40:13.190
at home for like 35 cents. Yeah. You know, it's
00:40:13.190 --> 00:40:15.789
like, yeah, you could print it for 35 cents and
00:40:15.789 --> 00:40:19.510
sell it for $5. Yeah. So I would still make a
00:40:19.510 --> 00:40:23.630
surplus, but I mean, it's, that's the kind of
00:40:23.630 --> 00:40:25.269
crap that I feel like we're dealing with here.
00:40:26.260 --> 00:40:31.579
And so I just, I walk into these stores and I
00:40:31.579 --> 00:40:35.340
just feel sad. Like it, my kids even went in,
00:40:35.400 --> 00:40:37.679
they're like, eh, it's, it's okay. And I'm like,
00:40:37.780 --> 00:40:39.760
you don't, I'm like, you guys were too young
00:40:39.760 --> 00:40:42.059
when we went to the last Toys R Us, like in Flint,
00:40:42.179 --> 00:40:44.989
Michigan. when we lived in that area and it was
00:40:44.989 --> 00:40:48.130
nice like it was it was slow and it was decked
00:40:48.130 --> 00:40:50.449
out and it was slowly being taken over by video
00:40:50.449 --> 00:40:53.010
games but it was you know this these have no
00:40:53.010 --> 00:40:57.170
video games whatsoever yeah they have some transformers
00:40:57.170 --> 00:41:02.869
they're loaded with super sevens of all brands
00:41:02.869 --> 00:41:06.050
like power rangers transformers you know all
00:41:06.050 --> 00:41:08.170
of it like there's just a buttload of super sevens
00:41:08.170 --> 00:41:12.389
uh the, the $20, like three inch figures included.
00:41:13.190 --> 00:41:16.780
And then they have like a bunch of old toys.
00:41:16.900 --> 00:41:19.320
They have, you know, your, your staples, your
00:41:19.320 --> 00:41:22.300
DC stuff, your Marvel, your transformers, your
00:41:22.300 --> 00:41:25.920
turtles. And then, you know, of course all the
00:41:25.920 --> 00:41:29.780
other product and buttload of Lego. So I just,
00:41:29.880 --> 00:41:33.489
I don't get it. They still have a lot of the
00:41:33.489 --> 00:41:35.889
popular brands, but they're not quite the same
00:41:35.889 --> 00:41:50.570
thing. Yeah. I, so. Toy stores are online. Big
00:41:50.570 --> 00:41:55.349
Bad, Amazon, and technically Amazon is not a
00:41:55.349 --> 00:41:59.130
toy store, but you can get toys on Amazon. Unless
00:41:59.130 --> 00:42:06.469
you're in an area where there are mom and pop
00:42:06.469 --> 00:42:09.289
toy shops and things like that. I know several
00:42:09.289 --> 00:42:12.949
of my friends live in areas where there are mom
00:42:12.949 --> 00:42:16.469
and pop toy shops and things like that and those
00:42:16.469 --> 00:42:22.039
types of shops. are run by people like, uh, like
00:42:23.130 --> 00:42:28.150
if I had, you have more brain power for this
00:42:28.150 --> 00:42:32.980
than I do, but let's say I had some sort of brain
00:42:32.980 --> 00:42:36.739
power for business. And obviously you have the
00:42:36.739 --> 00:42:41.159
physical knowledge and, and aptitude for the
00:42:41.159 --> 00:42:44.340
3d printing stuff. I was in the front room. You
00:42:44.340 --> 00:42:46.840
were in the back room, Mr. Geppetto. you know
00:42:46.840 --> 00:42:49.460
just you know whittling away at your 3d printing
00:42:49.460 --> 00:42:53.639
stuff and i know that's not the analysis it's
00:42:53.639 --> 00:42:56.619
not the proper analogy you know what i mean like
00:42:56.619 --> 00:43:00.679
okay like you know if you and i were living in
00:43:00.679 --> 00:43:03.420
the same area which we are currently not but
00:43:03.420 --> 00:43:08.829
if we were and we decided to do oh look gcrn
00:43:08.829 --> 00:43:13.369
3d printed stuff and we actually wanted to make
00:43:13.369 --> 00:43:20.630
money off this 17 year project of ours we could
00:43:20.630 --> 00:43:24.570
make billions you know what i mean like yeah
00:43:24.570 --> 00:43:27.869
if i had the brain power if i had the marketing
00:43:27.869 --> 00:43:31.230
brain power which you do too is like you you
00:43:31.230 --> 00:43:33.389
actually have it you know how to you would know
00:43:33.389 --> 00:43:36.489
how to do that kind of thing because you have
00:43:36.489 --> 00:43:39.190
it all more so than i do but it's one of those
00:43:39.190 --> 00:43:43.380
things where that's my point something like that
00:43:43.380 --> 00:43:47.380
something where if i was in the front room like
00:43:47.380 --> 00:43:52.630
for me i'd I would have to want to actually deal
00:43:52.630 --> 00:43:55.750
with people in general, but I think I could deal
00:43:55.750 --> 00:43:59.170
with customers. I don't, I don't think I'm a
00:43:59.170 --> 00:44:03.130
Tom. It's all the God damn customer. I don't
00:44:03.130 --> 00:44:06.510
think I'm Mr. Office space, Tom, old man, Tom
00:44:06.510 --> 00:44:09.530
from office space. I think I could deal with
00:44:09.530 --> 00:44:12.190
customers while you were doing the work in the
00:44:12.190 --> 00:44:14.130
back kind of thing. And I could talk to people,
00:44:14.210 --> 00:44:18.369
that kind of thing. And I could probably sell
00:44:18.369 --> 00:44:22.170
the stuff. kind of thing and whatever but uh
00:44:22.170 --> 00:44:26.190
but yeah man like i know there are a lot of people
00:44:26.190 --> 00:44:30.289
that do have toy shops and things like that we
00:44:30.289 --> 00:44:34.349
used to over on toy cast i still have the advertisement
00:44:34.349 --> 00:44:37.010
i gotta check in with my buddy josh and see what
00:44:37.010 --> 00:44:41.190
he's up to but we used to advertise for one of
00:44:41.190 --> 00:44:43.909
his buddies uh for the toy shop that he used
00:44:43.909 --> 00:44:47.730
to go to and he used to help out at uh over there
00:44:47.730 --> 00:44:52.090
in illinois Uh, so I know there are my point
00:44:52.090 --> 00:44:54.849
in all of this is I know there are mom and pop
00:44:54.849 --> 00:44:58.070
toy shops and things like that, but they're mostly
00:44:58.070 --> 00:45:03.769
people of around ish, our age who grew up with
00:45:03.769 --> 00:45:07.670
this and who go to these toy shows and buy and
00:45:07.670 --> 00:45:11.070
sell and trade and do all this stuff. And, you
00:45:11.070 --> 00:45:14.679
know, have a, like most of the mom and pop toy
00:45:14.679 --> 00:45:18.900
shops, I know they have inventories of. old classic
00:45:18.900 --> 00:45:24.380
gi joes and transformers and he -man and insert
00:45:24.510 --> 00:45:27.909
whatever other brand you want to hear kind of
00:45:27.909 --> 00:45:32.030
thing and that's you know this is the way it
00:45:32.030 --> 00:45:35.510
is most of the selling i see now for toys uh
00:45:35.510 --> 00:45:38.809
in the last i would say how long has it been
00:45:38.809 --> 00:45:45.320
since at least right right before the pandemic
00:45:45.320 --> 00:45:52.130
late 2018 early 29 whatnot I used to follow a
00:45:52.130 --> 00:45:54.309
bunch of people that do whatnot auctions for
00:45:54.309 --> 00:45:57.409
specifically, in my case, Funko Pops. But I know
00:45:57.409 --> 00:45:59.550
they sell a bunch of other things on whatnot
00:45:59.550 --> 00:46:04.230
as well. But yeah, I mean, brick and mortar toy
00:46:04.230 --> 00:46:08.449
shops like Main Street, like you're saying, Toys
00:46:08.449 --> 00:46:10.989
R Us and things like that. It ain't the way it
00:46:10.989 --> 00:46:14.969
was 40 years ago in 1986. No, it's just not.
00:46:15.429 --> 00:46:19.869
I specifically go to Walmart. Yeah. Or Target.
00:46:20.030 --> 00:46:24.230
Those are my two go -to stores. You might find
00:46:24.230 --> 00:46:29.519
the occasional thing at Walgreens or something.
00:46:30.260 --> 00:46:39.420
But ultimately, you're not getting any of that.
00:46:40.880 --> 00:46:45.739
Walmart is my number one go -to. That's my ride
00:46:45.739 --> 00:46:49.260
-or -die place to go for toys. And it varies
00:46:49.260 --> 00:46:54.449
from location to location. Like, I was at one
00:46:54.449 --> 00:46:59.869
on Monday, and they had the full -blown Hasbro
00:46:59.869 --> 00:47:02.730
kiosk in the middle aisle, you know, for the
00:47:02.730 --> 00:47:09.670
holidays. And they had the, you know, the G .I.
00:47:09.670 --> 00:47:17.070
Joes. They had the G .I. Joes. They had the Transformers.
00:47:17.070 --> 00:47:20.610
They had Marvel Legends. They had, you know,
00:47:20.610 --> 00:47:27.710
literally everything. I looked at them and like,
00:47:27.750 --> 00:47:32.449
for instance, I found the, the Marvel doomsday,
00:47:32.489 --> 00:47:35.750
Marvel legends, doomsday figure of Cyclops, which
00:47:35.750 --> 00:47:40.989
was on my BBTS, like a pre -order. Yeah. And
00:47:40.989 --> 00:47:43.989
they had a nice kiosk set up there. They had,
00:47:44.090 --> 00:47:47.409
you know, Falcon, Captain America, they had Shang
00:47:47.409 --> 00:47:49.489
-Chi, they had Punisher, they had brand new day
00:47:49.489 --> 00:47:55.159
Spider -Man, they had Gambit. Uh, and then, I
00:47:55.159 --> 00:47:58.920
went to and then like the G .I. Joe stuff like
00:47:58.920 --> 00:48:02.679
they had the new Laura Croft Tomb Raider G .I.
00:48:02.719 --> 00:48:05.619
Joe figure they had for the Transformers all
00:48:05.619 --> 00:48:09.659
the ones that are currently out and then I went
00:48:09.659 --> 00:48:13.280
to the one nearest my work which is you know
00:48:13.280 --> 00:48:15.820
six minutes from there they don't have the kiosk
00:48:15.820 --> 00:48:17.719
they just put crap on the shelf but they didn't
00:48:17.719 --> 00:48:21.929
have half of that stuff So they didn't have Cyclops,
00:48:21.929 --> 00:48:24.289
but they had all the other stuff that I mentioned.
00:48:24.429 --> 00:48:26.210
They didn't have the Tomb Raider figure of G
00:48:26.210 --> 00:48:27.789
.I. Joe. They didn't have because they didn't
00:48:27.789 --> 00:48:29.570
have like the dedicated space. Now, if I go to
00:48:29.570 --> 00:48:32.150
a different Walmart in Loveland, the other one,
00:48:32.230 --> 00:48:34.349
they'll have the kiosk and then they'll have
00:48:34.349 --> 00:48:37.099
all that stuff. And so it just kind of varies
00:48:37.099 --> 00:48:40.179
location to location. But same thing with Target.
00:48:40.280 --> 00:48:42.219
Like you can go to one and they'll have certain
00:48:42.219 --> 00:48:43.559
figures and you go to the other one, they'll
00:48:43.559 --> 00:48:48.400
have crap for stock. And the whole thing with
00:48:48.400 --> 00:48:52.170
Toys R Us is. The figures I saw there weren't
00:48:52.170 --> 00:48:55.730
even new. They were stuff that was selling three,
00:48:55.789 --> 00:48:59.789
four years ago. Oh, geez. Like, they had War
00:48:59.789 --> 00:49:06.730
for Cybertron, like Hound and Mirage and some
00:49:06.730 --> 00:49:08.889
of these other guys. And I'm just like, why are
00:49:08.889 --> 00:49:13.449
they carrying stuff so old? Like, I could not
00:49:13.449 --> 00:49:16.429
fathom why they were so old at this point. Like,
00:49:16.429 --> 00:49:18.449
they had stuff that my kids owned four years
00:49:18.449 --> 00:49:22.980
ago that they sold. Like that's crazy. So like,
00:49:22.980 --> 00:49:25.119
and they don't even have like all the major Marvel
00:49:25.119 --> 00:49:27.579
legends. They have like a lot of those FH or
00:49:27.579 --> 00:49:33.260
F F S H F big warts figures, which are the highly
00:49:33.260 --> 00:49:36.980
expensive ones of like, you know, like anime
00:49:36.980 --> 00:49:39.659
figures and dragon ball. And so they had that
00:49:39.659 --> 00:49:42.940
stuff, but yeah, they didn't, they just, in my
00:49:42.940 --> 00:49:44.699
opinion, they can't, they still can't compete
00:49:44.699 --> 00:49:48.610
with. these newer stores and the new stores are
00:49:48.610 --> 00:49:51.570
barely selling the toys as is like most of the
00:49:51.570 --> 00:49:53.090
time they're clearancing them off. Like they've
00:49:53.090 --> 00:49:57.710
got a buttload of, uh, turtles and, uh, you know,
00:49:57.710 --> 00:50:02.869
Hasbro DC figures. They've got some Farland figures,
00:50:03.130 --> 00:50:05.650
which both those companies lost the rights, uh,
00:50:05.730 --> 00:50:09.980
the turtles, like they lost the rights. Uh, and
00:50:10.300 --> 00:50:12.880
then we're, you know, they've got a bunch of
00:50:12.880 --> 00:50:15.940
transformers shelf, well, shelf warming. Power
00:50:15.940 --> 00:50:18.300
Rangers is shell forming. Like nothing's being
00:50:18.300 --> 00:50:21.699
bought. Yeah. Because I go week after week just
00:50:21.699 --> 00:50:23.260
because I'm like, one, I'm trying to get out
00:50:23.260 --> 00:50:26.880
of the office and two, I'm curious what's going
00:50:26.880 --> 00:50:33.320
and what's not. And generally, it all sits. Like
00:50:33.320 --> 00:50:35.480
kids don't play with toys. It's us, the grownups
00:50:35.480 --> 00:50:37.500
that are the collectors, but we're also broke
00:50:37.500 --> 00:50:40.869
and trying to pay, you know, for life. And so
00:50:40.869 --> 00:50:44.329
like, I don't foresee Toys R Us lasting, but
00:50:44.329 --> 00:50:51.099
you never know. But I don't see them lasting
00:50:51.099 --> 00:50:53.099
when you have people that undercut the pricing
00:50:53.099 --> 00:50:57.210
and have up -to -date stuff like Walmart and
00:50:57.210 --> 00:51:00.349
Target, both of which have Doomsday figures and
00:51:00.349 --> 00:51:04.199
Transformers figures and all of these other properties
00:51:04.199 --> 00:51:09.329
that Toys R Us just doesn't carry. There was
00:51:09.329 --> 00:51:12.349
somebody earlier today on Instagram that was
00:51:12.349 --> 00:51:17.230
in... I think the guy was in a target on Instagram
00:51:17.230 --> 00:51:20.789
in a target store. Cause I think target is the
00:51:20.789 --> 00:51:23.929
one that has the 40th anniversary apology tour
00:51:23.929 --> 00:51:27.349
kiosks. They do. Most of the stuff sells out
00:51:27.349 --> 00:51:30.409
super quick. Yeah, I understand. Okay. But I
00:51:30.409 --> 00:51:32.989
want to make sure that target is the one that
00:51:32.989 --> 00:51:38.170
has the apology. So this, I don't even follow
00:51:38.170 --> 00:51:41.949
the person. It was a doom scroll thing. So he's,
00:51:41.949 --> 00:51:45.039
he's walking around it. He's like, oh, they have
00:51:45.039 --> 00:51:47.500
this, they have that, they have this, they have
00:51:47.500 --> 00:51:49.920
that, they have the, and I don't know if it's
00:51:49.920 --> 00:51:53.239
because he just didn't want to say the word dead
00:51:53.239 --> 00:51:58.579
on Instagram or not, but he says, oh, they have
00:51:58.579 --> 00:52:01.500
the injured Optimus Prime, meaning the battle
00:52:01.500 --> 00:52:05.840
damaged Optimus Prime, the one that we've been
00:52:05.840 --> 00:52:07.679
talking about for months. Yeah, they had a ton
00:52:07.679 --> 00:52:11.380
of those, including the Megatrons that are damaged.
00:52:11.739 --> 00:52:16.639
Yep, yep. What I find so other than I find that
00:52:16.639 --> 00:52:20.239
funny that he says injured Optimus Prime. What
00:52:20.239 --> 00:52:23.360
I find so funny about this person's video on
00:52:23.360 --> 00:52:26.480
Instagram is as he pans through the rest of it,
00:52:26.519 --> 00:52:29.019
he goes through and he goes to the other part
00:52:29.019 --> 00:52:33.409
of the section. He goes, oh, and then Nintendo
00:52:33.409 --> 00:52:36.510
comes into the Hasbro section of Transformers
00:52:36.510 --> 00:52:38.769
and you get Mario and Luigi just hanging out
00:52:38.769 --> 00:52:41.219
here. I don't think Hasbro is going to like that
00:52:41.219 --> 00:52:44.619
very much because somebody else, obviously in
00:52:44.619 --> 00:52:46.820
the store, you know, some other person in shopping
00:52:46.820 --> 00:52:50.440
in the store just left a Mario and Luigi plushie
00:52:50.440 --> 00:52:52.760
toy, just sitting there on the transformer shelf.
00:52:53.219 --> 00:52:56.880
I thought that was hilarious. It's just crazy.
00:52:59.110 --> 00:53:03.539
But yeah, I mean, as much as I wish them well,
00:53:03.679 --> 00:53:07.030
they're just, it's a pale, it's, it's. shell
00:53:07.030 --> 00:53:09.429
of its former self and i just i don't see this
00:53:09.429 --> 00:53:12.409
boding well no it's never gonna be the same i
00:53:12.409 --> 00:53:18.969
mean if you think about it if if they're because
00:53:18.969 --> 00:53:28.789
toys r us inside macy's is bad because Toys R
00:53:28.789 --> 00:53:31.670
Us inside Macy's is just, oh, look, we really
00:53:31.670 --> 00:53:34.030
don't care about Toys R Us because it's just
00:53:34.030 --> 00:53:38.230
this little kiosk inside of another store. Now
00:53:38.230 --> 00:53:42.949
you're taking actual physical buildings that
00:53:42.949 --> 00:53:47.030
are of older stores that are closed down, these
00:53:47.030 --> 00:53:52.500
empty buildings, and using them. And again, it's
00:53:52.500 --> 00:53:54.940
to whoever owns the buildings, they can do with
00:53:54.940 --> 00:53:58.280
them however they please, I guess, because whatever.
00:53:59.039 --> 00:54:02.619
But to give people false hope and say, look,
00:54:02.840 --> 00:54:05.960
Toys R Us is back. No, it's not. Don't lie to
00:54:05.960 --> 00:54:09.940
me. Don't lie to me. The hell you think I am?
00:54:10.590 --> 00:54:15.449
Born yesterday? I think so. 46 years ago yesterday.
00:54:16.130 --> 00:54:22.110
Well, 46 and whatever. Anyway, it just is crazy.
00:54:22.309 --> 00:54:27.539
Toys R Us. Uh, let's talk some TV, shall we?
00:54:27.639 --> 00:54:32.230
Some more TV. You talk TV, I talk TV. Okay, Meatwad.
00:54:32.530 --> 00:54:37.389
I require a popsicle over 15 minutes. You obviously
00:54:37.389 --> 00:54:43.469
did not get the memo. Yeah, exactly. Oh, boy.
00:54:44.530 --> 00:54:49.219
Coming from Deadline, Charlie and Martin Sheen
00:54:49.219 --> 00:54:53.039
to star as father and son comedy series Happy
00:54:53.039 --> 00:54:58.929
Jack for AMC. So that's right. The Sheens are
00:54:58.929 --> 00:55:05.510
reuniting as father and son. And the new series,
00:55:05.650 --> 00:55:08.289
the first time they've done this in over a decade,
00:55:08.329 --> 00:55:12.110
the duo are headlining Happy Jack, a comedy series
00:55:12.110 --> 00:55:17.909
for AMC and AMC+. I almost read that as AMC asterisk.
00:55:19.269 --> 00:55:22.429
Half an hour family comedy has been greenlit
00:55:22.429 --> 00:55:25.650
for six episodes and will start production at
00:55:25.650 --> 00:55:28.789
Warner Brothers Studios in the studio where Friends
00:55:28.789 --> 00:55:34.150
was filmed for a 2027 launch. The series comes
00:55:34.150 --> 00:55:38.550
from Jim Patterson and Matt Ross, who worked
00:55:38.550 --> 00:55:41.309
together on shows such as Two and a Half Men.
00:55:42.000 --> 00:55:44.360
And The Ranch. Whatever the hell The Ranch is.
00:55:44.539 --> 00:55:47.059
Never heard of that show. At least I haven't
00:55:47.059 --> 00:55:50.920
paid attention to it. It's a little weird that
00:55:50.920 --> 00:55:55.000
they're doing a six episode run. Really? Seriously?
00:55:55.559 --> 00:56:01.340
In this day and age? This is AMC and AMC+. This
00:56:01.340 --> 00:56:06.449
is streaming, dude. Yeah, six episodes. Yeah.
00:56:07.300 --> 00:56:13.650
I cannot fathom. The level of stupid in modern
00:56:13.650 --> 00:56:17.590
television. I really can't. That's where we are.
00:56:18.170 --> 00:56:22.429
It marks an interesting move for AMC, which has
00:56:22.429 --> 00:56:26.389
not really been in the comedy business and is
00:56:26.389 --> 00:56:30.050
certainly not the half hour space. The Breaking
00:56:30.050 --> 00:56:34.530
Bad broadcaster has aired series such as Kevin
00:56:34.530 --> 00:56:40.619
can himself. and Lucky Hank, but they have been
00:56:40.619 --> 00:56:45.460
more in the dramedy space. As I already said,
00:56:45.739 --> 00:56:49.000
Happy Jack stars Charlie Sheen as Jack, a bit
00:56:49.000 --> 00:56:54.219
of a lifelong ne 'er -do -well. That's casting
00:56:54.219 --> 00:56:58.800
to type. He's got two great daughters, although
00:56:58.800 --> 00:57:03.079
his dad, played by Martin, deserves more credit
00:57:03.079 --> 00:57:06.519
for how they turned out. Kate runs Jack's company
00:57:06.519 --> 00:57:11.920
and keeps him on the rails, while Sam, his wild
00:57:11.920 --> 00:57:15.900
child, who is more like her dad when Sam comes
00:57:15.900 --> 00:57:19.179
home to introduce everyone to her new boyfriend,
00:57:19.360 --> 00:57:23.780
Jack's shock to learn Paul, a former investment
00:57:23.780 --> 00:57:30.579
banker turned van life guru? What the? Okay.
00:57:31.420 --> 00:57:34.679
He's the same age as he is. Oh, boy. It's one
00:57:34.679 --> 00:57:39.730
of those. Okay. So Paul is the same age as. Oh,
00:57:39.809 --> 00:57:42.989
so Paul is the older guy. Okay. Same age as he
00:57:42.989 --> 00:57:46.309
is. So that's why he's a van life guru. Shocked
00:57:46.309 --> 00:57:49.070
at first, Jack soon realizes he's got a choice
00:57:49.070 --> 00:57:51.789
to make. Will he keep looking out for number
00:57:51.789 --> 00:57:55.630
one or embrace this last chance to be a real
00:57:55.630 --> 00:57:59.039
part of his daughter's lives? The pair have portrayed
00:57:59.039 --> 00:58:01.679
on -screen father and son in a number of movies
00:58:01.679 --> 00:58:05.800
and series, most recently on Anger Management,
00:58:06.019 --> 00:58:09.079
the multi -camera sitcom that premiered on FX
00:58:09.079 --> 00:58:14.449
in 2012, and most famously in Wall Street. Charlie
00:58:14.449 --> 00:58:17.769
will also executive produce alongside Todd Christopher,
00:58:19.070 --> 00:58:23.409
Eric Tenenbaum, Kim Tenenbaum, and Jason Wang
00:58:23.409 --> 00:58:26.730
with 20th Century Television as an executive
00:58:26.730 --> 00:58:30.039
producer as well. Charlie said, I've always heard
00:58:30.039 --> 00:58:34.570
the moments that truly matter happen when they're
00:58:34.570 --> 00:58:38.309
supposed to. The good folks at AMC have played
00:58:38.309 --> 00:58:42.849
a huge hand in deciding that moment is now. It's
00:58:42.849 --> 00:58:45.789
no secret it's been a minute, and I'm thrilled
00:58:45.789 --> 00:58:49.550
to be going back on television in such a meaningful
00:58:49.550 --> 00:58:54.590
way. An equally wonderful show. The crew has
00:58:54.590 --> 00:58:57.710
reassembled. Suffice to say, it's time to give
00:58:57.710 --> 00:59:02.199
the people what they want. Give it a couple episodes,
00:59:02.559 --> 00:59:07.590
maybe just to see the father and son act together.
00:59:08.090 --> 00:59:11.829
Well, and I think, too, is like people are joking
00:59:11.829 --> 00:59:15.730
that they added Martin Sheen specifically to
00:59:15.730 --> 00:59:18.869
go against, you know, to play with him on screen,
00:59:19.030 --> 00:59:23.030
too. Yeah. I'll keep Charlie in line. Probably.
00:59:24.260 --> 00:59:26.679
I do find it weird that it's going to be a half
00:59:26.679 --> 00:59:29.940
hour family sitcom for AMC, like trying to jump
00:59:29.940 --> 00:59:34.380
into that realm. Yeah. And comedy at that. So
00:59:34.380 --> 00:59:37.059
I mean, I'll check it out because like I like
00:59:37.059 --> 00:59:40.500
Charlie Sheen as an actor, him as a human. He's
00:59:40.500 --> 00:59:44.460
a weird individual. That's why I made the joke
00:59:44.460 --> 00:59:52.150
about the DNA of Tiger Blood. Yeah. They used
00:59:52.150 --> 00:59:54.489
to make that joke when that happened. I like
00:59:54.489 --> 00:59:58.869
them both as actors. They're great actors. Yeah,
00:59:58.909 --> 01:00:04.679
they're both great. And it'll be interesting
01:00:06.380 --> 01:00:11.820
to see how this goes. I'll just say that. And
01:00:11.820 --> 01:00:15.650
the fact that it's got somebody he knew from
01:00:15.650 --> 01:00:19.349
Two and a Half Men, so it probably will be good.
01:00:19.369 --> 01:00:23.909
They'll know how to write for him. Definitely
01:00:23.909 --> 01:00:28.409
will check it out while we're before we get to
01:00:28.409 --> 01:00:33.809
the other parts they have and I couldn't leave
01:00:33.809 --> 01:00:35.469
this out of this episode because it's going to
01:00:35.469 --> 01:00:42.230
be news as of like the next week. The Paramount
01:00:42.230 --> 01:00:46.730
Warner Brothers merger is going through. I don't
01:00:46.730 --> 01:00:48.309
have to comment much on it right now because
01:00:48.309 --> 01:00:50.150
I'm sure we'll hear more news on it later. I
01:00:50.150 --> 01:00:51.929
just had to bring it up for the sake of saying
01:00:51.929 --> 01:00:56.559
that. Uh, it is, it has been passed and starting
01:00:56.559 --> 01:01:01.719
October 1st, uh, they'll, they'll start, uh,
01:01:01.900 --> 01:01:06.670
the transitionary period. It's, it's been okayed
01:01:06.670 --> 01:01:08.510
by the judge at this point. So they're, they're
01:01:08.510 --> 01:01:10.150
going to go through with it. Yeah. They're going
01:01:10.150 --> 01:01:12.309
to go through with it. What they do with an afterwards,
01:01:12.449 --> 01:01:17.630
who the heck knows. So, yeah, I, I think they
01:01:17.630 --> 01:01:20.909
should go alphabetical. So paramount comes first.
01:01:23.170 --> 01:01:25.889
Just so I can see the stars in the mountain first
01:01:25.889 --> 01:01:30.369
in the logo. Well, what will happen is they'll
01:01:30.369 --> 01:01:37.519
call it. They'll call it Warner Brothers Skydancing
01:01:37.519 --> 01:01:43.000
Paramount. Yeah. Or it'll be Warner Brothers
01:01:43.000 --> 01:01:46.599
Paramount, a skydance company. Yeah, probably.
01:01:47.219 --> 01:01:51.000
I think that this is. I don't know. I think it
01:01:51.000 --> 01:01:52.380
would have been better with Netflix, to be honest,
01:01:52.500 --> 01:01:53.519
because they probably would have just left it
01:01:53.519 --> 01:01:55.940
alone. for the most part it would have just been
01:01:55.940 --> 01:01:57.920
a Netflix company no different than like MGM
01:01:57.920 --> 01:02:01.340
with Amazon yeah it kind of just kind of coexists
01:02:01.340 --> 01:02:08.099
there yeah but at this point we just have to
01:02:08.099 --> 01:02:10.239
wait and see what they do or don't do or how
01:02:10.239 --> 01:02:18.079
they ruin it or don't ruin it so yeah it so I
01:02:18.079 --> 01:02:19.820
think moving from that one I think we'll go to
01:02:19.820 --> 01:02:29.420
the the okay so you told me or you sent to me
01:02:29.420 --> 01:02:32.260
or maybe i saw it first i forget who the hell
01:02:32.260 --> 01:02:35.619
so you saw it on some somebody posted uh black
01:02:35.619 --> 01:02:39.179
nerd comedy or something like that so andre aka
01:02:39.179 --> 01:02:44.619
black nerd comedy posted that there was a gremlins
01:02:44.619 --> 01:02:51.400
3 teaser out and i immediately i'm like nope
01:02:51.400 --> 01:02:54.900
i unless i find this thing myself on youtube
01:02:54.900 --> 01:02:58.750
and again what's the largest video platform on
01:02:58.750 --> 01:03:04.230
the internet youtube where's the most uh ai generated
01:03:04.230 --> 01:03:10.090
crap on the planet youtube okay well that's neither
01:03:10.090 --> 01:03:13.010
here or there as far as that goes but like seriously
01:03:13.010 --> 01:03:18.320
and i don't necessarily consider myself to be
01:03:18.320 --> 01:03:21.300
in the quote -unquote general i mean technically
01:03:21.300 --> 01:03:23.179
i guess i would be in the general public but
01:03:23.179 --> 01:03:25.730
like I'm a geek, I'm a nerd, I'm a this, I'm
01:03:25.730 --> 01:03:28.289
a that, I'm a whatever. I generally like to think
01:03:28.289 --> 01:03:32.110
I have my finger on somewhat of a pulse of something.
01:03:32.590 --> 01:03:36.449
If I was going to see or hear or whatever about
01:03:36.449 --> 01:03:40.769
something about Gremlins 3 or whatever, I would
01:03:40.769 --> 01:03:43.170
have seen it or it would have popped up, especially
01:03:43.170 --> 01:03:48.449
since I follow Warner Brothers. Like, I'm subscribed
01:03:48.449 --> 01:03:52.110
to the Warner Brothers YouTube channel. Uh, I
01:03:52.110 --> 01:03:54.050
don't follow them on Instagram. That'll come
01:03:54.050 --> 01:03:57.869
up later in a moment, but like I follow a lot
01:03:57.869 --> 01:04:00.309
of the film studios and I've subscribed to a
01:04:00.309 --> 01:04:01.809
lot of their channels because I'm like, Ooh,
01:04:01.849 --> 01:04:04.690
I want to see trailers from the actual film studios
01:04:04.690 --> 01:04:07.489
kind of things and whatever, whatever, whatever.
01:04:07.750 --> 01:04:10.170
And I've been subscribed to these studios for
01:04:10.170 --> 01:04:13.110
as long as I've been on YouTube the last 15,
01:04:13.150 --> 01:04:18.840
16, 17 years. And I went after you shared it
01:04:18.840 --> 01:04:21.699
to me or I shared it to you or whatever. I went
01:04:21.699 --> 01:04:25.219
searching after I saw his, his reaction video.
01:04:25.260 --> 01:04:30.079
I'm like, that doesn't. The only thing I could
01:04:30.079 --> 01:04:32.960
find was from some company name. And I, again,
01:04:33.000 --> 01:04:36.239
I'm not trying to throw shade on this YouTube
01:04:36.500 --> 01:04:39.400
channel. I found a YouTube channel called one
01:04:39.400 --> 01:04:42.860
media, like never heard of one media, no clue
01:04:42.860 --> 01:04:45.980
who they are, but they had this exact trailer
01:04:45.980 --> 01:04:49.599
that he was reacting to in his video. So I commented
01:04:49.599 --> 01:04:51.900
on his video. I was nice about it, and I said,
01:04:51.940 --> 01:04:54.780
I'm trying to still find this here on YouTube,
01:04:54.940 --> 01:04:59.780
and I'm not finding it. We exchanged in conversation
01:04:59.780 --> 01:05:02.980
through his comments, and he's like, oh, yeah,
01:05:03.039 --> 01:05:07.619
it's on Warner Brothers and Amblin's Instagram.
01:05:08.400 --> 01:05:12.949
And I'm like, mother trucker, you've got to be
01:05:12.949 --> 01:05:21.150
kidding me. Like, okay. So I then went to the.
01:05:22.380 --> 01:05:25.800
Finally took like two or three days before I
01:05:25.800 --> 01:05:28.300
actually saw the Warner. Like I actually had
01:05:28.300 --> 01:05:32.239
to go to the Amblin Instagram before I could
01:05:32.239 --> 01:05:34.780
actually get to the, I went to the Warner brothers
01:05:34.780 --> 01:05:38.510
Instagram page. I went all over their Instagram
01:05:38.510 --> 01:05:43.119
page. Could not find this thing at all whatsoever.
01:05:44.230 --> 01:05:48.489
Uh, you got a YouTube channel. You, uh, you,
01:05:48.969 --> 01:05:57.260
you, you use it. Warner brothers. Like, I don't
01:05:57.260 --> 01:06:00.159
understand this day and age. Like I understand
01:06:00.159 --> 01:06:03.840
this day and age of instant advertising is, Oh,
01:06:03.880 --> 01:06:06.480
just upload it to Instagram or upload it to Facebook
01:06:06.480 --> 01:06:11.739
or upload it to whatever. But YouTube is for
01:06:11.739 --> 01:06:17.909
the last 21 years has been the number. Okay.
01:06:17.969 --> 01:06:22.170
Maybe not the first, whatever, you know what
01:06:22.170 --> 01:06:26.070
I mean? For 20 years. YouTube has been one of,
01:06:26.130 --> 01:06:28.710
if not the biggest video platforms on the internet.
01:06:30.510 --> 01:06:33.449
Like, why wouldn't you just update your YouTube
01:06:33.449 --> 01:06:39.030
channel? Like, put the dang teaser trailer on
01:06:39.030 --> 01:06:41.909
there because that was the first place I looked.
01:06:42.070 --> 01:06:45.849
I didn't even think to look at the Warner Brothers
01:06:45.849 --> 01:06:51.380
or Amblin Entertainment Instagram pages. And
01:06:51.380 --> 01:06:53.619
apparently that's where they debuted this thing.
01:06:53.880 --> 01:06:58.289
And the video. is basically just a little teaser
01:06:58.289 --> 01:07:07.480
what is it um coming june 28th 2028 and it's
01:07:07.480 --> 01:07:12.489
just gizmo hiding and he makes some mogwai noises
01:07:12.489 --> 01:07:20.219
and it's just a teaser like i have no gizmo looks
01:07:20.219 --> 01:07:23.480
cute that's pretty much all my reaction is to
01:07:23.480 --> 01:07:29.010
it I'm glad I have an, I'm glad I have an, I'm
01:07:29.010 --> 01:07:31.650
sorry to cut you. I'll let you go. Sorry. I'm
01:07:31.650 --> 01:07:35.929
glad I have an actual official page verification
01:07:35.929 --> 01:07:40.809
that it actually is a real studio video teaser
01:07:40.809 --> 01:07:46.269
and is not some AI generated BS or somebody made
01:07:46.269 --> 01:07:49.510
it up and it's fake. Like originally I thought
01:07:49.510 --> 01:07:53.500
it was good. No, and I, I didn't believe it either
01:07:53.500 --> 01:07:57.030
until I found it earlier today. looking through
01:07:57.030 --> 01:08:02.750
the Warner Brothers entertainment website. So,
01:08:02.769 --> 01:08:10.400
yeah, I am interested to see what they do with
01:08:10.400 --> 01:08:12.480
it. I just hope that they get as many of the
01:08:12.480 --> 01:08:16.380
old cast back that's willing to come back. Otherwise,
01:08:16.439 --> 01:08:20.699
it's going to kind of not make sense. It's kind
01:08:20.699 --> 01:08:24.000
of a double -edged sword. Yes, our generations
01:08:24.000 --> 01:08:27.119
want to see the nostalgia. We love the old stuff.
01:08:27.789 --> 01:08:31.199
That being said... I do feel like studios milk
01:08:31.199 --> 01:08:35.109
it too much. Like we're, we're at this day and
01:08:35.109 --> 01:08:38.829
age now where they're, they're milking it for
01:08:38.829 --> 01:08:42.489
additional footage by re -releasing the film.
01:08:42.529 --> 01:08:43.970
We're going to get her. We're going to get to
01:08:43.970 --> 01:08:46.670
that. Don't, don't jump the gun on that. So we'll,
01:08:46.670 --> 01:08:49.029
we'll go down that soapbox in a minute, but I,
01:08:49.760 --> 01:08:54.189
I just, yeah, I just, I don't, I don't, I just
01:08:54.189 --> 01:08:58.020
don't know. Yeah. So the original film was in
01:08:58.020 --> 01:09:04.270
1984. The second film was in... Remnants to the
01:09:04.270 --> 01:09:10.989
New Batch was released in 1990. So 1984 and 1990
01:09:10.989 --> 01:09:24.970
to 2028. That is... 84, that's 44 years. And
01:09:25.350 --> 01:09:32.420
90 is 38 years. That's too damn long. In my personal
01:09:32.420 --> 01:09:37.689
opinion, like if you want to do a reboot and
01:09:37.689 --> 01:09:40.189
you want to like, don't call it gremlins three,
01:09:40.270 --> 01:09:44.489
call it gremlins, the new, new batch or something
01:09:44.489 --> 01:09:46.430
like, you know what I mean? Like, like do something
01:09:46.430 --> 01:09:50.430
different. Do like, don't call it gremlins three.
01:09:51.270 --> 01:09:56.689
Like you can still have it with gizmo. You can
01:09:56.689 --> 01:09:59.970
still do, but just don't call it gremlins three,
01:10:00.050 --> 01:10:03.210
please. For the love of Mike. Don't do that.
01:10:05.050 --> 01:10:10.770
It does not have, at least according to IMDB
01:10:10.770 --> 01:10:14.449
currently, Gremlins 3 does not have a cast attached
01:10:14.449 --> 01:10:23.039
to it. Yeah, there's no cast attached. Okay,
01:10:23.380 --> 01:10:26.760
so Christopher Columbus is attached to direct.
01:10:27.310 --> 01:10:30.590
There are, at least as of this recording, there
01:10:30.590 --> 01:10:34.000
are five writers attached to this thing. That's
01:10:34.000 --> 01:10:37.539
never a good sign. Chris Columbus is attached
01:10:37.539 --> 01:10:43.220
as writers for characters since he was the originator
01:10:43.220 --> 01:10:47.020
kind of thing. Screenplay is Carl Ellisworth.
01:10:48.479 --> 01:10:57.859
Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. We are
01:10:57.859 --> 01:11:03.420
two years away from Gremlins 3. I'm more interested
01:11:03.420 --> 01:11:06.140
right now in the end of September, beginning
01:11:06.140 --> 01:11:08.979
of October, because by the time you find people
01:11:08.979 --> 01:11:13.939
hear this, it will most likely be October. So
01:11:13.939 --> 01:11:17.359
happy October, everybody. It's fall, y 'all.
01:11:18.819 --> 01:11:26.840
What? It's true. I know. But I'm more interested
01:11:26.840 --> 01:11:30.899
to see what films we are getting next year. I'm
01:11:30.899 --> 01:11:34.100
more interested to see the 2027 movies and that
01:11:34.100 --> 01:11:37.000
kind of thing than I'm more interested in focusing
01:11:37.000 --> 01:11:41.760
on what's coming next year than to look so far
01:11:41.760 --> 01:11:48.899
ahead into 2020. Like, I don't even know. I'm
01:11:48.899 --> 01:11:54.090
more focused on the doomsday clock than anything
01:11:54.090 --> 01:12:04.590
else at this point. Because honestly, I don't
01:12:04.590 --> 01:12:06.689
even want to hear anything else about it. I just
01:12:06.689 --> 01:12:11.640
want to watch the dang movie. I think I said
01:12:11.640 --> 01:12:13.659
this in one of the other episodes we did a couple
01:12:13.659 --> 01:12:16.359
weeks, maybe a month or so ago or whenever it
01:12:16.359 --> 01:12:22.579
was. I think everything we have heard about Doomsday
01:12:22.579 --> 01:12:27.170
so far, I hope it's wrong. I don't think it is,
01:12:27.250 --> 01:12:30.510
but I hope it is. I hope Doomsday knocks all
01:12:30.510 --> 01:12:34.130
of our socks off and it's nothing that we expected
01:12:34.130 --> 01:12:39.710
it to be. I hope... Every one of us that is listening
01:12:39.710 --> 01:12:42.390
to the sound of my voice right now goes into
01:12:42.390 --> 01:12:47.329
that movie and comes out of it and says, I didn't
01:12:47.329 --> 01:12:55.520
expect that at all. Because that movie has to,
01:12:55.579 --> 01:13:01.539
it's got to reinvigorate the Marvel Cinematic
01:13:01.539 --> 01:13:05.300
Universe. It really does. And that's the thing
01:13:05.300 --> 01:13:09.800
is we just don't know. Well, yeah, exactly. Like,
01:13:09.800 --> 01:13:14.539
I don't, I hope that they're not going to. do
01:13:14.539 --> 01:13:17.279
what i think they're gonna do for stuff but again
01:13:17.279 --> 01:13:23.319
time will tell yeah i won't tell so yeah i think
01:13:23.319 --> 01:13:28.800
uh then there was the dcu stuff yes so there
01:13:28.800 --> 01:13:32.420
was a rumor i don't know how the rumor got started
01:13:32.420 --> 01:13:35.979
but there was a rumor that matthew lillard uh
01:13:37.420 --> 01:13:41.579
from the film hackers from 1995 he also played
01:13:41.579 --> 01:13:43.920
shaggy and scooby -doo he's also done a bunch
01:13:43.920 --> 01:13:46.579
of other stuff as well there was a rumor that
01:13:46.579 --> 01:13:50.720
he was going to be playing the flash the barry
01:13:50.720 --> 01:13:54.899
allen version of the flash in james guns dc universe
01:13:54.899 --> 01:14:01.000
and from what i can find at least on threads
01:14:01.000 --> 01:14:05.340
someone asked mr guns's official account on there
01:14:05.340 --> 01:14:11.390
that is this a factually correct thing, and the
01:14:11.390 --> 01:14:17.010
Gunn account on there said no. Now, Mr. Gunn
01:14:17.010 --> 01:14:20.189
can say no all he wants. Maybe he's lying to
01:14:20.189 --> 01:14:25.239
this person. I don't know. I have no idea. But
01:14:25.239 --> 01:14:35.409
we won't know until the flesh in his universe
01:14:35.409 --> 01:14:42.880
gets gassed. yeah i don't know i don't know what
01:14:42.880 --> 01:14:45.680
to think and i it's hard to say if the dcu is
01:14:45.680 --> 01:14:49.199
going to survive the uh merger too that's very
01:14:49.199 --> 01:14:55.029
true yeah well we'll have to wait and see because
01:14:55.029 --> 01:14:57.529
i i again i just i don't know what's coming down
01:14:57.529 --> 01:15:03.460
the pike and uh well because i wanted to it wasn't
01:15:03.979 --> 01:15:06.779
You had sent me a video of somebody. I don't
01:15:06.779 --> 01:15:08.680
know who the person was, but you sent me a video
01:15:08.680 --> 01:15:10.979
of either Facebook or Instagram or wherever it
01:15:10.979 --> 01:15:14.979
was about this person suggesting that Matthew
01:15:14.979 --> 01:15:18.380
was playing Barry and obviously older Barry,
01:15:18.560 --> 01:15:20.520
because it seems like that's what Mr. Gunn is
01:15:20.520 --> 01:15:25.460
doing. He's casting all of his DC Universe main
01:15:25.460 --> 01:15:31.470
heroes as older, yada, yada, yada. and whatever
01:15:31.470 --> 01:15:35.050
to bring in all the younger versions of the heroes
01:15:35.050 --> 01:15:39.109
so you can eventually set up jl and jlu a la
01:15:39.109 --> 01:15:44.109
dc animated universe to homage the dc animated
01:15:44.109 --> 01:15:49.289
universe and whatever um and i was you know initially
01:15:49.289 --> 01:15:52.750
going to entertain that conversation with you

has to say about it all of the stuff that we've
01:16:58.600 --> 01:17:02.420

you enjoyed our commentary on I I'm looking forward
01:17:22.829 --> 01:17:24.310
to seeing what happens with some of this movie
01:17:24.310 --> 01:17:26.970
stuff. I know we talked a little bit about Transformers,
01:17:27.010 --> 01:17:31.489
but yeah. And I would love to know people's opinions
01:17:31.489 --> 01:17:33.789
on these toy stores and the revivals, because
01:17:33.789 --> 01:17:38.460
honestly, that's probably the most intriguing
01:17:38.460 --> 01:17:40.159
thing right now, because I know that they tried
01:17:40.159 --> 01:17:43.300
to revive KB Toys, too, and it flopped like a
01:17:43.300 --> 01:17:48.550
dead fish. Yeah, it didn't work at all. So anyways,
