Funny Book Forensics 456 Framing Batman

1
00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:10.000
You didn't let me press the button. You said I have all these buttons to press, and you wouldn't even let me press it. Oppressor.
2
00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:12.000
You're not wearing the correct shirt.
3
00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:13.000
I doesn't matter.
4
00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:14.000
I could.
5
00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:17.000
You gave me buttons to press, and then you took the buttons away.
6
00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:20.000
Now, if you're wearing the correct shirt, you would have pressed the button.
7
00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:23.000
That's unfair.
8
00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:26.000
Well, listen, exiling Squatch, o man from the store, is also.
9
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:31.000
I did not exile Squatch, a man from the store. He went on a summer vacation. He will be back.
10
00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:34.000
Why would he go on a summer vacation?
11
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:43.000
Because he needed to go travel around and see all the places that he never gets to see. That's where he went. That's what he does.
12
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:45.000
Yeah. I don't believe you.
13
00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:51.000
You don't believe me? Well, you just wait, Dan. You just wait.
14
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:54.000
That's okay. I'm adding a new feature to the podcast.
15
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:56.000
What is that, Dan?
16
00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:59.000
Well, you know how all those people.
17
00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:00.000
Yes.
18
00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:25.000
Yes. You know how, like, all those people are always, like, putting on makeup while they're talking to you in those advertisements and stuff? Well, I thought it'd be fun if I put posters inside of frames while we did the podcast, because, like, I mean, people seem to really like all that tactile noise and, like, putting on the makeup and doing your face up. And so I thought, what's more relaxing than putting comic posters into frames?
19
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:29.000
Oh, I see. So for the people who are viewing can watch you put posters and frames.
20
00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:30.000
Oh, yeah.
21
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:35.000
People that are not watching and just listening get to hear you making all this noise.
22
00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:36.000
Yeah.
23
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:38.000
Okay. That's going to be enjoyable.
24
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:39.000
Isn't that soothing?
25
00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:43.000
I'm so sorry that you had to listen to them tear plastic off of.
26
00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:45.000
Isn't that crinkly plastic soothing?
27
00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:48.000
No. No, it's not.
28
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:51.000
Yeah.
29
00:01:51.000 --> 00:02:03.000
This is not an ASMR podcast. We're going to get all these people that are like, oh, hey, this podcast is fantastic. I like the new feature.
30
00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:05.000
Oh, I'm sure they're going to love the new feature.
31
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:12.000
They're going to love the new feature, Dan. Putting in posters and. Yeah, it's great.
32
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:15.000
Yeah. I mean. Here, do you want me to crinkle the paper, too?
33
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:17.000
No.
34
00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:20.000
These poster frames have a picture of the Eiffel Tower.
35
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:21.000
Yeah, I see.
36
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:33.000
So if I just wanted to put a bunch of Eiffel Towers around my house, you could. I took betting the dog's not down there.
37
00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:35.000
Which of you playing inside the poster? The. The.
38
00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:37.000
I don't need this part.
39
00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:38.000
You don't need the posters.
40
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:39.000
No, my posters are big enough.
41
00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:41.000
Oh, I see.
42
00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:42.000
Yeah.
43
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:45.000
The matting.
44
00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:50.000
I heard you did. I heard you did something in the world today that we were supposed to talk about.
45
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:56.000
You did something in the world today. Well, I. I did watch Supergirl finally.
46
00:02:56.000 --> 00:03:04.000
Oh, what did you think? I thought it was more importantly. Wait, wait, wait. More importantly, I apologize. What did Anne think?
47
00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:06.000
She thought it was very enjoyable as well.
48
00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:09.000
Okay, now I want to know what you thought.
49
00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:19.000
I thought it was very enjoyable. I thought it was good. I. We had a good time watching was. It was a good movie.
50
00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:24.000
Did you plan a couple all day? Oh, how was that noise?
51
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:53.000
Oh, that was. Hated it. Hated that noise. Comparatively to the movie, the noise that you just made was a one out of ten. The movie was, I'd say a ten. Well, nine. I mean, there was some parts that were like. But, you know, overall. Ah, yes. Tony Della Tree's poster, Superman and Crypto.
52
00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:55.000
Who wouldn't want a Superman in Crypto poster?
53
00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:56.000
Who wouldn't. I mean.
54
00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:58.000
And wouldn't want a Supergirl in Crypto poster.
55
00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:03.000
Right. I mean, you just got more crypto. I mean, kind of. You got it.
56
00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:04.000
Yeah. Don't. Don't spoil it.
57
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:05.000
I'm not spoiling it.
58
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:06.000
People haven't seen it.
59
00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:07.000
Yeah, it's.
60
00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:11.000
It was I.
61
00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:17.000
For the people that. That are on the fence because. Oh, the. The mixed reviews and stuff like that. Because.
62
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:18.000
Didn't like it.
63
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:24.000
Yeah. Watch it for you. I mean, I'm sure it was a bunch of bots that just, you know, replicated the same thing over and over again. Just go watch it for yourself.
64
00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:31.000
I know there's a bunch of incels that were complaining about the fact that. That she's not endorsing Trump.
65
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:33.000
Oh, okay.
66
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:37.000
I mean, actors aren't supposed to say anything about politics.
67
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:42.000
Oh. But when the ones that support what they want say stuff, it's okay. Got it.
68
00:04:42.000 --> 00:05:11.000
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can just ban the press corps and don't let them film you anymore or whatever. I don't know what's happening. Actually, I do know what's happening. And I was amazed that Fox News actually canceled his coverage too. Yeah, for those people that don't know he said that. Ms. Now cnn. And who was the third people he wouldn't let in?
69
00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:13.000
Was it C Span? I don't know.
70
00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:28.000
No. Anyway, C Span, that would be funny. And anyway, cnn, Fox, NBC, abc, and CBS all share the responsibility of recording the President. Probably be better if I turn that around.
71
00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:30.000
Oh, yeah.
72
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:59.000
Recorded the President. Recorded the President. You know, when he's doing functions and events, and they share the cost of that because it's, you know, free. And even Fox News agreed to stop. So that whole pool, when they kicked CNN out, stopped doing that. So now the President has his own. He's going to have his own people going around recording him? No, it's literally everything he wanted in life. I heard that he's going to call his new channel Pravda.
73
00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:01.000
I see.
74
00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:11.000
Yeah. So, yes, like the Russian news service or the Soviet news service. Yeah. It means truth.
75
00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:13.000
I see.
76
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:22.000
Yeah. So if we're going to have a new news service, it can be great. It's going to be one more thing for big Batman to go take out.
77
00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:25.000
Right? Big beefy Batman.
78
00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:32.000
Yeah. So we're going to need some big beefy Batman to defeat some billionaires. Got this other poster frame because there's one more poster.
79
00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:34.000
Oh, my God. One more poster.
80
00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:35.000
Is that crinkly enough?
81
00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:39.000
Yeah, it's crinkly enough. I. I should tell you.
82
00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:40.000
Isn't this soothing, though?
83
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:41.000
It is not soothing, Dan.
84
00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:58.000
No, but just. But millions of. I just wanted to get more listeners, and millions of people watch those folks putting their makeup on and doing all. And sitting in their car and doing all those things when they do their podcast. And we. We have, like zero listeners.
85
00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:01.000
We have. So I thought we have like four.
86
00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:10.000
I thought if we replicate, like, what other people do, then we get 16. So what's better than putting in poster frames? Anyway, you were saying before I interrupted.
87
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:18.000
I was going to say. I should go. I should tell you, during the unnecessary debates at Real City Comic Con, we
88
00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:23.000
did have a. Oh, that I wasn't invited to debate in. Yes, I remember then.
89
00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:27.000
Oh, geez. Squadron man showed up. It was fantastic. It was.
90
00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:33.000
Yeah. See, I knew it. Anyway, you were saying about the unnecessary debates where all the debaters were much better than me.
91
00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:35.000
That's the thing.
92
00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:36.000
That's.
93
00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:44.000
It's not supposed to be about who can debate well. It's. It's who can. Who can please the crowd. And. And it's generally.
94
00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:47.000
Are you saying I'm not pleasing.
95
00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:54.000
I'm going to say even. Even if you are, even if you have compelling arguments and you make sense, people don't care.
96
00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:55.000
Really.
97
00:07:55.000 --> 00:08:00.000
They really don't. But the point is, is that there was really.
98
00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:01.000
They don't care.
99
00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:30.000
They don't care. They really. Okay, no. We had. We had a lot of really good, Good, Good topics and good things to debate about, and we. We did not win on the grounds of good debate. We. We. The ones that we won Were basically when. When I. Oh, hey, Day of the Dead poster that you must have got at the Blue Mouse Theater.
100
00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:40.000
I did get it at the Blue Mouse Theater drawn by Mark Brill, who was found by the art director of Friday Night Frights when Travis Bundy, who was on the show last week.
101
00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:41.000
Very cool.
102
00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:44.000
Or I should say, isn't he creative director? Let me make sure I get that.
103
00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:52.000
I believe he might be, but we did debate Absolute Batman.
104
00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:59.000
Yeah, wouldn't. Would you won and you said Beefy Batman is the best Batman.
105
00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:00.000
I can't. Did I, did we win that round?
106
00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:01.000
You did not.
107
00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:03.000
I did win. No, I did.
108
00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:07.000
I actually, I think I defend Beefy Batman. All you had to do is say his sales figures.
109
00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:25.000
I, it was, it was, it was about who would you, who would, who would get who. Who would you rather date off of hinge? Absolute Batman or the ghoul from fallout?
110
00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:45.000
Absolute Batman. I mean, is there a question there? Absolute Batman has a chest. Abs. He has biceps and triceps. He has quads. He has hamstrings, he has calves. And the ghoul has.
111
00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:46.000
The ghoul has.
112
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:51.000
Oh, and, and, and Beefy Batman has his glutes.
113
00:09:51.000 --> 00:10:06.000
I, I did say. I, I said he, he is the Batman of the people. He's the Batman who will burn a city down for you in order to protect you. He will, he will go to no ends to, to make sure. Oh, that is beautiful. Looks great.
114
00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:19.000
Admittedly, I, I do understand that sometimes some negative things could happen due to over steroid use, so that could be a reason not to date Beefy Batman.
115
00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:26.000
Yeah, but the, the ghoul, the ghoul will, will most likely end up killing you with the radiation that he will give you.
116
00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:27.000
Yeah. That's fair.
117
00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:39.000
So, and, and, and, and I mean not to. I like, he has a, he has a whole family.
118
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:42.000
Do you think I should go put some more posters in?
119
00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:44.000
Oh, geez.
120
00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:47.000
No, I think there's a couple more I could go get.
121
00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:50.000
No, I think we should talk about absolute Batman.
122
00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:53.000
Okay, so Absolute Batman is a winner. This last.
123
00:10:53.000 --> 00:11:02.000
I, I, I want to say that, that it was, we had people in the crowd really excited that I, I had a knowledge of absolute wow.
124
00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:15.000
See, that's what I know is when we review new things. Do you know, like next month, um, Jason is going to come back to the podcast and we're going to review some new Jonah Hex.
125
00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:16.000
All right.
126
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:39.000
Isn't even out yet, so I don't even know if it's good. But hey, if it's not good. I'm sure we'll let you know. And if it's good, I'm sure we'll let you know. But Jason is a longtime Jonah Hex fan, so we probably will be doing some Legion too, during that podcast. So not reviewing the whole book, but Greg, against his will, has committed to reading the first issue.
127
00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:43.000
Yeah, I know. I gotta go pick everything up.
128
00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:50.000
Yep. Gotta sign up for that Jonah Hex and go get the Legion first issue. You know, it's sold out. You may not be able to get it.
129
00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:52.000
Curses.
130
00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:55.000
Maybe get on to issue two before you get too far behind.
131
00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:57.000
I know this is, it's terrible.
132
00:11:57.000 --> 00:12:08.000
I mean, I can't believe you. It's. Yeah. Anyway, I sound very muted. I feel like relaxed. I was very relaxed. Putting posters in, it's like extremely relaxing.
133
00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:20.000
Putting posters into frames is so relaxing. It's almost meditative. It's, it's one of those things that you can do. It's yoga for your hands, Dan.
134
00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:22.000
I've been doing a lot of yoga.
135
00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:30.000
It's, it's, it's a thing that people do to unwind the mind.
136
00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:32.000
Like putting on makeup in the car.
137
00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:43.000
They can if they want to, but I don't suggest it. It's very dangerous, as I know from my clowning days.
138
00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:53.000
You should do videos of. We should do a funny book Forensics for. You're in your car putting on clown makeup and I'm putting posters in poster frames at the same time.
139
00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:54.000
Nobody.
140
00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:56.000
That is how we're going to get millions of listeners.
141
00:12:56.000 --> 00:12:57.000
Nobody.
142
00:12:57.000 --> 00:13:10.000
I can't believe you've tapped into that. You know, I ask, I asked somebody how to improve our listenership. And I was given some suggestions and, but then I didn't listen to any of those suggestions. I just thought of this new idea.
143
00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:12.000
He thought of a new idea, I'm sure.
144
00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:16.000
Well, it's based on what people do. And I, I think that that makes sense.
145
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:29.000
I'm sure listeners will let us know if, if putting posters in frames is what, what snared them like the, like, like Grimbor, the Chainsman. And I'll tell you, I'll tell you what.
146
00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:36.000
The first listener that comes back and tells us that they loved putting posters in frames.
147
00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:37.000
Yeah.
148
00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:40.000
I will give you a ticket to Grit City Comic Con.
149
00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:43.000
Oh, my goodness.
150
00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:44.000
Yep.
151
00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:45.000
That is, that is very nice of you, Dan.
152
00:13:45.000 --> 00:14:19.000
Yep, that's. I, I, I have a ticket to give you and you just have to come back to me. You can message me through Instagram, Facebook X will be hard. Cause I deleted off my phone Even though you still put the podcast there. I. I don't really like it. Uh, so I was getting rid of it, but it's. I. I'll still put the podcast links there. Blue sky, maybe. Yeah. Uh, I found out I have an account on Blue Sky. Actually, I didn't even know. I just use it. I just thought we had a funny book forensics account on Blue Sky.
153
00:14:19.000 --> 00:14:21.000
Oh, but you actually had your own.
154
00:14:21.000 --> 00:14:22.000
Yeah, I made my own.
155
00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:26.000
He's got his own personal account there, people. You could reach Dan at Blue Sky.
156
00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:45.000
You can find me on Blue Sky. Yeah, you could have a ticket to Grit City comic con on November 7th, and that would be all of yours. All you have to do, it's in Tacoma, Washington. All you have to do is message me and tell me how much you appreciated putting posters. The segment on putting posters and frames,
157
00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:57.000
they're gonna be like, what we really want is you putting posters in frames, Greg. Putting on clown makeup. And I'll be like, I don't have clown makeup to put on anymore.
158
00:14:57.000 --> 00:15:06.000
Oh, that's unfortunate. We'll have to. We'll have to get enough listeners. So, listeners, if you want Greg to put on clown makeup, you can sign up for our Patreon.
159
00:15:06.000 --> 00:15:13.000
You know, that's a joke. It's a joke. But I mean, honestly, I.
160
00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:21.000
And yeah, honestly, I don't have time to build the content for Patreon right now. Maybe in the future. No, I really couldn't.
161
00:15:21.000 --> 00:15:30.000
But you could. I'd just be putting posters into frames, Dan. You'd just be putting posters in frames or sleeving comic books.
162
00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:40.000
I know these are things nobody cares about, but I. The weeds in my front yard were so bad, and we had. We hired Sandy. We hired somebody to clean to.
163
00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:41.000
Was it Keanu?
164
00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:43.000
We hired somebody to get rid of them.
165
00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:45.000
Was it Keani?
166
00:15:45.000 --> 00:16:08.000
Yes. I guess we're calling Kia. He out on the podcast and. And he said that the weed eater I had wasn't the right tool for the job and that I must get him a different tool. So after three months of waiting, I went out there at 3 o', clock, I walked the dogs and I came home and I'm like, I'm cutting down all this fucking shit.
167
00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:10.000
Was it three o' clock in the morning?
168
00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:27.000
No, it was tonight. Like, yeah, podcast. I had to shower up and everything. So I went out there and I edged the little things and chopped down weeds and I took my big chopper and cut the BlackBerry bushes growing from the hoard in my neighbor's yard over into my yard.
169
00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:28.000
Oh, wow.
170
00:16:28.000 --> 00:17:09.000
You know exactly what I'm talking about. Yeah. Because she took away the trash bins or the big trash can, so now it's just. All the stuff is just sitting there in the yard. Ah. And I don't really care because I don't have an hoa, so we can do whatever the hell we want. Fortunately, because I would have been fined multiple times this summer if I had an hoa. And since most front yard is nice dead. Well, I don't necessarily want to look nice. I was just tired of it. I mean, what I want to do is take the front yard and get rid of the grass and put rocks there, because the grass already died. Because when we bought the house, it was all moss, and the moss died, and then the sprinkler system doesn't work, and none of that. I. I don't want to pay for all that. I'd rather just, like, have rocks there.
171
00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:10.000
Yeah.
172
00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:22.000
And then try to figure out how to grow grass in our backyard. But the. Anyway, moral of this, Moral of the story of this rant is I feel all high. I was zenning out, putting posters and frames because.
173
00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:25.000
Oh, no, now I got you all jacked up.
174
00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:27.000
I was all aggro out there.
175
00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:28.000
Oh, no.
176
00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:38.000
Attacking the weeds and stuff. And I. Well, I was also trying to get in the mindset for Spawn Cape Batman.
177
00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:41.000
Yes.
178
00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:45.000
Because as we learned last time, the cape can do a lot of things.
179
00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:48.000
It can. It's a magic cape.
180
00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:59.000
And it's totally. I mean, who do you think gets credit for that? Capullo or. Or. Or McFarlane?
181
00:17:59.000 --> 00:18:15.000
I mean, you don't get one without the other. But at the same point, I think, like, it's a. It's definitely, like, a take on what bats do. So, I mean, it's. Yeah, it's fair to say it's pulo.
182
00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:18.000
Craig Capullo is ripped, by the way.
183
00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:19.000
Oh, yeah.
184
00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:23.000
That man is gym down shredded human.
185
00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:24.000
Wow.
186
00:18:24.000 --> 00:18:26.000
Yeah, he is.
187
00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:27.000
It's.
188
00:18:27.000 --> 00:18:41.000
It. He. Yeah, it's. It's impressive to. For the amount of art that he does, to be able to stay in that good shape is very impressive.
189
00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:47.000
That's. That is. It's a testament. Dan's gonna flash up an image for me.
190
00:18:47.000 --> 00:18:54.000
Yeah, I, I am. I'm gonna. I'm gonna. It's probably. Probably won't make the main podcast, but here we go. Right there.
191
00:18:54.000 --> 00:18:57.000
Oh, wow. Yeah.
192
00:18:57.000 --> 00:18:58.000
Yeah.
193
00:18:58.000 --> 00:19:02.000
What was he doing? Is. Yeah, look at that.
194
00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:03.000
I mean, how do.
195
00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:05.000
How do you draw with arms like that?
196
00:19:05.000 --> 00:19:15.000
I don't know. You know, like, I, I, I don't know, but when you are, you know, that's, that's, that's, that's pretty impressive.
197
00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:23.000
It's like, what? He draws a page, does a set. Draws a page, does the set. Yeah, he draws a panel, does a set, does a set.
198
00:19:23.000 --> 00:19:51.000
That, that makes sense. And then wears his comics and coffee shirt. I should probably say, like coffee or comics and pre workout. That would be the, that would be hilarious. But yeah, I mean, I think what I actually think is happening is that Greg Capullo is actually absolute Batman.
199
00:19:51.000 --> 00:20:00.000
Holy crap. You think he just took images? Like he just took pictures of himself and then drew himself into the, into the book.
200
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:02.000
Yeah.
201
00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:03.000
Fair enough.
202
00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:08.000
He's not drawing this book, but maybe Nick Dagrotta saw Capullo and is like,
203
00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:14.000
he's like that guy just like, put, put me in.
204
00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:21.000
Yeah. And I, I mean, I think it makes sense. Right? I mean, that's, that's what you would do.
205
00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:23.000
Yeah.
206
00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:36.000
So I don't know. I mean, there's, that's. Well, maybe we'll do may, maybe we'll do some more features on some ripped artists because, you know, I, I, I admire that.
207
00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:38.000
Well, more ripped artists, please.
208
00:20:38.000 --> 00:20:43.000
I guess we should go to absolute Batman number three. I think I was doing this. Yeah, absolutely.
209
00:20:43.000 --> 00:20:47.000
Batman. This is. I.
210
00:20:47.000 --> 00:20:53.000
First off, before we get too far into this thing, I really like issue three.
211
00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:55.000
Yeah.
212
00:20:55.000 --> 00:21:03.000
Because starts to wrap up three different things. Well, kind of four, actually.
213
00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:04.000
Okay.
214
00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:12.000
But one's really brief. Right. It gives us more insight into Selena coming from issue two.
215
00:21:12.000 --> 00:21:13.000
Yeah.
216
00:21:13.000 --> 00:21:21.000
It gives us more insight on, like his giant Batmobile that's driving through the city and the relationship with Alfred. Right.
217
00:21:21.000 --> 00:21:22.000
Yeah.
218
00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:44.000
We get a little bit more on his historical bat or. Sorry, not the historical backstory is there. But that was actually not one of the four points I thought. It gets into. It gets more into how he utilizes his friends. And we find out more about Mr. Nygma and we find out more about the leader of the bad guys.
219
00:21:44.000 --> 00:21:48.000
Oh, yeah. Everything's coming together in issue.
220
00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:54.000
Yeah. Well, and it does make sense. Right? I think, I think this ended up being a six issue arc, didn't it? Not a five issue.
221
00:21:54.000 --> 00:21:55.000
I think so.
222
00:21:55.000 --> 00:21:59.000
But three is where you really should have that start happening.
223
00:21:59.000 --> 00:22:00.000
Right.
224
00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:08.000
So you should be rapidly advancing the plot, rapidly advancing the storyline. And I thought that Snyder did a really good job doing that. Right.
225
00:22:08.000 --> 00:22:09.000
Yeah.
226
00:22:09.000 --> 00:22:35.000
And I was, I was impressed. Right. It's sometimes in Snyder's stories, I have said in the past that I feel like when you get in the middle of the story to advance the story stuff's just happening out of nowhere and I can't follow. And I, I felt that in, like, death metal. I felt like that in a few of the other. And of course, that's harder because that's a cross company thing, right?
227
00:22:35.000 --> 00:22:36.000
Yeah.
228
00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:44.000
So, you know, I mean, if you read Crisis 1 through 12, it can become a mishmash of mess at times in the middle.
229
00:22:44.000 --> 00:22:45.000
Right.
230
00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:51.000
I think if you read Secret wars and we'll go back to the 80s, it's the same, Right?
231
00:22:51.000 --> 00:22:52.000
Yeah.
232
00:22:52.000 --> 00:23:12.000
And, you know, we. We've joked about some of these crossover series in the past and different things, but I felt like with DCKO and then this absolute Batman I'm reading now, which before. I feel like they've done a better job kind of threading the story through and even it does bounce a little bit, right?
233
00:23:12.000 --> 00:23:13.000
Yeah.
234
00:23:13.000 --> 00:23:18.000
But it helps me. He's really helping me stay with it.
235
00:23:18.000 --> 00:23:20.000
Fair. Fair.
236
00:23:20.000 --> 00:23:21.000
I don't feel lost.
237
00:23:21.000 --> 00:23:43.000
You're, You're, You're, You're. You're staying with the thread of the story. You're picking up the other ones as, as you're reading, and things are, Things are, Are tightening up and making sense as opposed to being like, well, okay, what happened to that? Where did that go? Why did I get introduced to this? And it's not important anymore.
238
00:23:43.000 --> 00:23:53.000
Right. And, or, and, and with Snyder, sometimes it will just jump. Right. Like, you'll be doing something, and then the next book you open and you're in this completely different scene.
239
00:23:53.000 --> 00:23:54.000
Yeah.
240
00:23:54.000 --> 00:24:04.000
And I'm like, how do we get there? And my brain actually gets tired when I'm reading his stories because I'm trying to, like, figure out what's happening.
241
00:24:04.000 --> 00:24:05.000
Yeah.
242
00:24:04.000 --> 00:24:14.000
And then in this case, like, you mentioned reading. I think you're ahead of me, but I. I'm through issue seven now. You're through, like eight or nine, I think.
243
00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:15.000
Yeah.
244
00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:17.000
And it was easy to keep reading these. I.
245
00:24:17.000 --> 00:25:03.000
Flows really well. Want to. Because it just is. It's a good story. I just haven't had time right now to finish off. Like, I, I just want to finish the whole thing because it's. Or not the whole thing, but, like, as much as I can. You know, it's just. It's. It's a fun read. It's. The story is good. The next arc that I'm into is. Is building up, and I'm like, okay, this is where we. We hit the ground running, so to speak, you know, and it, and it really. It doesn't seem to miss a miss a step, lose Any of the pacing, it really just continues forward and makes you just want to get to the next book because it. It's a solid story.
246
00:25:03.000 --> 00:25:04.000
Yep.
247
00:25:04.000 --> 00:25:21.000
Where sometimes you get to the next arc and it loses a little bit of the steam. Some things loosen up a little bit and you're like, okay, well, they're cheating us a little here and there. But that doesn't seem to be the case in this Dex arc.
248
00:25:21.000 --> 00:25:23.000
Yeah.
249
00:25:23.000 --> 00:25:36.000
Not to give too much away to the people who haven't read anything or we haven't got there yet because we're only in issue three, but, yeah, it's a good story.
250
00:25:36.000 --> 00:25:51.000
Yep. Yep. No, like, I'm. I'm. No, it's. I. I'm sorry. I'm not having the best reaction to you, but, like, I agree, and I think the analysis makes sense, so. Well, let's get into some of the pacing and paneling in this thing.
251
00:25:51.000 --> 00:25:52.000
Okay.
252
00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:57.000
And dig in. I guess. I have my copy on the tablet and in my hand.
253
00:25:57.000 --> 00:26:02.000
He's double copying people, double fisting books.
254
00:26:02.000 --> 00:26:04.000
I'm all over the place here.
255
00:26:04.000 --> 00:26:07.000
The typical Dan.
256
00:26:07.000 --> 00:26:21.000
Yeah. Well, that is. Yes. That is typical me. I just wanted to say, though, before we continue, I. I've got another. I've got another famous comic book artist candidate for absolute Batman.
257
00:26:21.000 --> 00:26:22.000
Oh, yeah.
258
00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:28.000
Yes, one very. Another equally. Equally famous to the one we just showed you. One Phil Jimenez.
259
00:26:28.000 --> 00:26:35.000
Oh, yeah, yeah. He's just sitting there. He's. He's on Uncle Google over there looking up.
260
00:26:35.000 --> 00:26:36.000
No, no.
261
00:26:36.000 --> 00:26:39.000
Yeah. Well, you just got all these images.
262
00:26:39.000 --> 00:26:42.000
He'd probably not appreciate this because his eyes are squinting, but.
263
00:26:42.000 --> 00:26:43.000
Yeah.
264
00:26:43.000 --> 00:26:50.000
Yeah, it just proves you can draw and. And still. Yeah.
265
00:26:50.000 --> 00:26:53.000
Shredded for yourself.
266
00:26:53.000 --> 00:27:09.000
Yeah, I. I mean, I. I wouldn't mind running into Mr. Jimenez in New York sometime. Phil, if you're out there and I'm in New York and you want to have dinner,
267
00:27:09.000 --> 00:27:10.000
talk comics.
268
00:27:10.000 --> 00:28:23.000
Yeah. I mean, it's sad that I've never gotten to a convention where you're at just so I could talk to you and I'd probably just make a fool of myself. But, Phil, this is an official request for a date, actually, if I'm. Or if you just want to invite me to New York, if you were listening to the podcast and happily go out there and. And we could have a nice dinner and, you know, have a. Have a chat. We could talk about comics and weightlifting and you could help me with my hinge profile. It be. Yeah. So. So, Phil. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. So, Phil, if you're listening and just. And if you're listening and you know, I don't even know if you're in a committed relationship, but I mean, if you are, bring your husband. That's fine. Or partner. That's fine. Just. We can go lift afterwards. I understand there's some really nice bath places with gyms in the front, so he could. We could go. Just want to let everybody know that Phil Jimenez, not only is your art beautiful. Well, anyway, Greg, absolute Batman.
269
00:28:23.000 --> 00:28:28.000
He's just. He's just out there trying to. Trying to fish.
270
00:28:28.000 --> 00:28:31.000
Well, it. I mean, it. It is. It's Phil Jimenez.
271
00:28:31.000 --> 00:28:36.000
If you don't. If you don't cast. If you don't cast once in a while, you never catch.
272
00:28:36.000 --> 00:28:45.000
I mean, who. Who wouldn't want to cast their line toward Phil Jimenez? Like, I mean, if you've never seen
273
00:28:45.000 --> 00:28:48.000
his art, it is fantastic.
274
00:28:48.000 --> 00:29:02.000
Yeah, well, I know you have, but. Yeah, the. Well, anyway, so maybe I should cast a net for one, like, absolute Batman.
275
00:29:02.000 --> 00:29:03.000
One absolute Batman. He's.
276
00:29:03.000 --> 00:29:08.000
He's a little young now.
277
00:29:08.000 --> 00:29:11.000
True.
278
00:29:11.000 --> 00:29:17.000
And influenced and maybe corrupted by Darkseid, but we don't know that yet. We haven't got there. I don't know.
279
00:29:17.000 --> 00:29:18.000
Don't know.
280
00:29:18.000 --> 00:29:21.000
His universe was created by Darkseid, not. Not him.
281
00:29:21.000 --> 00:29:22.000
Not him.
282
00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:53.000
Well, anyway, we start out and the kids are playing and Selena is doing all these cat like things and getting Bruce to do them, and he slips and she grabs him. And that's the continuation from the last issue, at least on that part. And I can hear. I can hear one Travis Webb yelling at us to not go panel by panel during Kingdom Come.
283
00:29:53.000 --> 00:29:54.000
Huh.
284
00:29:53.000 --> 00:29:57.000
But I do want to start at the beginning of the book because it's
285
00:29:57.000 --> 00:30:11.000
a good transition because he didn't go every single panel. You just, You. You explained what was going on on the page. Well, and then Travis can. Travis can put that into his pocket and then he can spit on it.
286
00:30:11.000 --> 00:30:13.000
Oh, wow.
287
00:30:13.000 --> 00:30:16.000
How do you like that? How do you like them apples?
288
00:30:16.000 --> 00:30:23.000
Are you challenging Travis to us? I mean. Because if we're doing challenges, I have a challenge to make.
289
00:30:23.000 --> 00:30:25.000
What's your challenge?
290
00:30:25.000 --> 00:30:34.000
Well, right now I wanted to talk about how seamlessly they went from the backstory with Selena into the backstory of Commissioner Gordon carrying him through the zoo.
291
00:30:34.000 --> 00:30:35.000
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
292
00:30:35.000 --> 00:30:41.000
And how really cool. This. This is like the coolest profile lion I've ever seen.
293
00:30:41.000 --> 00:30:43.000
That's pretty cool.
294
00:30:43.000 --> 00:31:01.000
And I really. I really felt. Again, they're tying up some loose ends here in three, and then they immediately get us right back after we have this nice thing back. Immediately, he's fighting. I've totally forgotten their names.
295
00:31:01.000 --> 00:31:02.000
Oh, the.
296
00:31:02.000 --> 00:31:19.000
I almost called them the Mutants because that's the other Batman. The Party Animals. Thank you. Of course they're the party Animals. I love rooting for the party Animals. I should always remember that. There's so much fun. I saw a video where one popped the ball up in the air and then caught it in his shirt.
297
00:31:19.000 --> 00:31:20.000
Oh, yeah, yeah.
298
00:31:20.000 --> 00:31:30.000
The center fielder. He popped the ball with his glove and then did a spectacular catch by catching into his shirt and then exposing his eyes, his pecs at the same time.
299
00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:32.000
His testicles.
300
00:31:32.000 --> 00:31:38.000
Yeah. No, the Party Animals are great. Sometimes I want them to beat the bananas.
301
00:31:38.000 --> 00:31:41.000
You're like, damn you.
302
00:31:41.000 --> 00:31:45.000
Yeah. I mean, it's not fair. They shouldn't be the jar. They should not be the Washington Generals.
303
00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:51.000
You know, it's just gonna say the Washington Generals.
304
00:31:51.000 --> 00:31:54.000
But these party animals here.
305
00:31:54.000 --> 00:31:55.000
Yeah.
306
00:31:54.000 --> 00:31:55.000
Is that really what they are?
307
00:31:55.000 --> 00:31:57.000
They are the party animals.
308
00:31:57.000 --> 00:31:59.000
How have I forgotten that?
309
00:31:59.000 --> 00:32:01.000
I don't know. You put it out of your mind.
310
00:32:01.000 --> 00:32:03.000
Well, no, I'm getting confused with the Mutants from.
311
00:32:03.000 --> 00:32:13.000
Yeah, the Mutants. That's who. That's who in. Yeah. In. In. Other. In. In. Big, older Batman. Yeah, Older Batman.
312
00:32:13.000 --> 00:32:16.000
Big. Yeah. Oh, yeah. And big, older Batman. You're right.
313
00:32:16.000 --> 00:32:17.000
Big older Batman.
314
00:32:17.000 --> 00:32:34.000
That makes sense. Big, younger. You get a fully confusing. Yeah, yeah. To put big, I had to put. And then I've got, like, movie Batman over here. We've got Batman everywhere.
315
00:32:34.000 --> 00:32:36.000
You got. You got some Batfleck over there.
316
00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:37.000
No.
317
00:32:37.000 --> 00:32:39.000
Oh, which. Which movie Batman you got.
318
00:32:39.000 --> 00:32:41.000
No, you got the shiny one.
319
00:32:41.000 --> 00:32:42.000
You got the glittery one.
320
00:32:41.000 --> 00:32:43.000
Christian Bale.
321
00:32:43.000 --> 00:32:58.000
Oh, Christian Bale. You know, honestly, I'm not gonna lie. And I know that you don't like it, but I don't mind me. That new Batman. Oh, shit.
322
00:32:58.000 --> 00:33:08.000
I walked here, and then I walked here, and then I walked here. I walked here. This. But you know why this Batman is awesome? Because he has a giant car with, like, teeth.
323
00:33:08.000 --> 00:33:14.000
He does. It's pretty sweet. I thought you were going to challenge. You're going to make a challenge a minute ago.
324
00:33:14.000 --> 00:33:15.000
I'm. I'm working up to it.
325
00:33:15.000 --> 00:33:20.000
Okay. He's working up to it, folks. I thought, you know, he got. He got me excited. I didn't know what he was doing.
326
00:33:20.000 --> 00:33:25.000
Anyway, this Batmobile is awesome. It has, like. It's guns or something.
327
00:33:25.000 --> 00:33:29.000
It's a. It's. It's a big, beefy Batmobile.
328
00:33:29.000 --> 00:33:33.000
This is a gun.
329
00:33:33.000 --> 00:33:34.000
Is this.
330
00:33:33.000 --> 00:33:38.000
Are these like the guns in. In GI Joe that never kill anything?
331
00:33:38.000 --> 00:33:41.000
I think they're like. They're. Oh, what do they call them? Less than lethal. Yeah.
332
00:33:41.000 --> 00:33:47.000
Yeah. Less. Wow.
333
00:33:47.000 --> 00:33:59.000
It's just that they're shooting. It's a projectile launcher. It's not a. Not a bullet. It's. It's just like a hard rubber ball.
334
00:33:59.000 --> 00:34:01.000
Then there's this page with 900 panels.
335
00:34:01.000 --> 00:34:07.000
Huh? Yes.
336
00:34:07.000 --> 00:34:13.000
Yeah. And it works.
337
00:34:13.000 --> 00:34:14.000
Yeah, it does work.
338
00:34:14.000 --> 00:34:53.000
It's. And so what they're doing here. And this is where comic books, being a visual medium is important. Yeah. Because. Well, it does. But the story shows. So this page shows Batman in two of the 9,000 panels on it and just a side profile. Right. But it shows. I guess we forgot to mention that Alfred is on the Batmobile. In the Batmobile. Yeah. So he gets down there, and he's watching in astonishment. And his. That facial expression. The reaction is amazing.
339
00:34:53.000 --> 00:34:55.000
Yeah.
340
00:34:55.000 --> 00:35:02.000
And the reaction of the party animals, even though you can't see their faces, it's very clear what's going on.
341
00:35:02.000 --> 00:35:04.000
Yeah. They're getting decimated.
342
00:35:04.000 --> 00:35:27.000
Yeah. As the giant bat ball takes care of everything. And then we get our Keystone Cop moment on the next page, which I think we mentioned a couple podcasts ago, there's going to be a Keystone Cop moment. And it looks like. It looks. It almost looks like it's the start. It's the beginning of the scene from Blues Brothers.
343
00:35:27.000 --> 00:35:28.000
Oh, totally.
344
00:35:28.000 --> 00:35:30.000
In Chicago.
345
00:35:30.000 --> 00:35:34.000
Yep. They can drive through them all, but
346
00:35:34.000 --> 00:36:07.000
we do the app opposite. Instead of driving over the bridge and watching all the Nazis fall into the bridge. And I didn't mean the cops, by the way. If, you know, Blues Brothers, The Nazis were the ones that felt they were. They were actual Nazis. I was not. I want to be very clear. I was not saying police are Nazis. I only say ice are Nazis. I don't say the police are Nazis. So I just want to be very clear that we're distinguished. Ice Nazis, Nazis and Blues Brothers. That war. Schwastic is Nazis.
347
00:36:07.000 --> 00:36:08.000
Nazis.
348
00:36:08.000 --> 00:36:27.000
Police, not Nazis. Except the Pierce County Sheriff. So true. Now we'll go into the. But he just dives the Batmobile into the water. And then we just get another facial expression from Alfred, which is because he.
349
00:36:27.000 --> 00:36:33.000
He hit the eject button. Meow. Shot him out into the space.
350
00:36:33.000 --> 00:36:38.000
Yeah. And I. I love this, because Alfred is, like, trying to give him advice,
351
00:36:38.000 --> 00:36:40.000
and he's not happy, and he's just
352
00:36:40.000 --> 00:36:42.000
like, I don't care.
353
00:36:42.000 --> 00:36:46.000
Yeah. Doing my own thing on the bed.
354
00:36:46.000 --> 00:36:53.000
Do you think he would say things like, Boomer, maybe. Shut up, Boomer.
355
00:36:53.000 --> 00:36:54.000
I don't know. I don't know.
356
00:36:54.000 --> 00:36:55.000
I.
357
00:36:54.000 --> 00:36:57.000
He might be a little more Respectful.
358
00:36:57.000 --> 00:37:00.000
Do you think he was non plussed by that advice he was getting?
359
00:37:00.000 --> 00:37:05.000
Yeah, definitely. He was like, whatever
360
00:37:05.000 --> 00:37:09.000
by the sixth or seventh time.
361
00:37:09.000 --> 00:37:15.000
Yeah. Tap, tap, tap. Excuse me, Mr. Batman.
362
00:37:15.000 --> 00:37:21.000
Just trying things right now. I have to teach real life humans this week. It's gonna be interesting.
363
00:37:21.000 --> 00:37:24.000
Oh, boy. They're gonna call you a boomer.
364
00:37:24.000 --> 00:37:27.000
Oh, they already do. I don't care.
365
00:37:27.000 --> 00:37:30.000
You gotta bring up some Yu Gi oh cards, Dan.
366
00:37:30.000 --> 00:37:34.000
That part doesn't bug me. Oh, yeah, That'll make me look young.
367
00:37:34.000 --> 00:37:40.000
Yeah, it will. Why is Yu making a comeback always, Dan?
368
00:37:40.000 --> 00:37:47.000
They were just happy that I have a Dragon Ball Z bag that I come bring with me. And then we talk about that. So.
369
00:37:47.000 --> 00:37:56.000
And then. And then you tell them that you're. You're also into what is the One piece. You're in the One piece?
370
00:37:56.000 --> 00:38:00.000
No, you should be. Oh, I don't know anything about it
371
00:38:00.000 --> 00:38:02.000
except that you better get into it.
372
00:38:02.000 --> 00:38:06.000
Better get into it with all of my extra time. Sure.
373
00:38:06.000 --> 00:38:07.000
Do it. There's only.
374
00:38:07.000 --> 00:38:10.000
I'll watch One Piece between reading Absolute Batman.
375
00:38:10.000 --> 00:38:11.000
There's too many episodes.
376
00:38:11.000 --> 00:38:13.000
You won't ever get through contracts.
377
00:38:13.000 --> 00:38:16.000
There's two.
378
00:38:16.000 --> 00:38:23.000
Well, there are too many episodes of Dragon Ball too. And I haven't even watched that yet. And I've only watched Dragon Ball Z, so I'm not even watching the right order. And.
379
00:38:23.000 --> 00:38:25.000
And damn.
380
00:38:25.000 --> 00:38:50.000
I only watch it while I carry giant heavy sandbags around a gym. Well, we get back to the flashback scene with Bruce and Selina, and she sneaks him into a movie. And I like how they work this in because I tried to give this away too soon by accidentally talking about Zorro before. Yes, because Zoro's part of the mythos.
381
00:38:50.000 --> 00:38:51.000
Is it?
382
00:38:51.000 --> 00:38:54.000
But she takes him to watch Zorro.
383
00:38:54.000 --> 00:38:55.000
Tell me.
384
00:38:55.000 --> 00:39:32.000
After his dad died. So I. I. Again, it's one of those. I brought something from the mythos in, but didn't use it in the same way. Yeah, I just. I like for. For a new reader, it means nothing. Yeah, she took him in and made him watch a movie. Right, Right. And that means something because you're seeing the relationship. I shouldn't say it means nothing, but for a Batman fan, even a casual one, you're getting a reference to something that. And I know I'm missing hundreds of these references because I'm not a huge Batman person, so it's all right.
385
00:39:32.000 --> 00:39:35.000
Yeah. You are becoming one of them, despite
386
00:39:35.000 --> 00:39:55.000
the giant Batman collection behind you. Not collection, but I really don't have a lot of Batman books, honestly, compared to. If I take a percentage of my collection, the Batman books would be a fairly small percentage relative to everything else that I have. And I wouldn't even say that much.
387
00:39:55.000 --> 00:39:57.000
5%?
388
00:39:57.000 --> 00:39:58.000
Yeah, I'd say under 5.
389
00:39:58.000 --> 00:40:00.000
2%.
390
00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:12.000
I don't know, but I don't know if it's that low. But I don't know where you're going. Traded Grill Meade and Cross X link. What's, what's happening right now? Would you say it's 5% if you
391
00:40:12.000 --> 00:40:17.000
would take Batman and all the crossover books that you own where Batman is a character?
392
00:40:17.000 --> 00:40:22.000
Oh, well, yeah, I'm not counting Justice League books and crossover books, but you
393
00:40:22.000 --> 00:40:36.000
have to because he's part of the Justice League and he's a character in those stories, Dan. So I believe that the percentage that you're saying that you have a Batman books to the percentage that you don't think that you have is greater than. So therefore you're a liar.
394
00:40:36.000 --> 00:41:01.000
Well, under that comic book collection system, Alan was using our former guest, Alan Wu. Yes. Where he had all the Wolverine in his collection. I bet you would be correct. So for using those definitions, I wasn't trying to debate because I'm not good enough for debate. We've already established that, so.
395
00:41:01.000 --> 00:41:04.000
No, you are. That's the problem. You're too good, Dan.
396
00:41:04.000 --> 00:41:05.000
Yeah.
397
00:41:05.000 --> 00:41:11.000
You can't have a ringer every time. Oh, we need to have a jobber like myself.
398
00:41:11.000 --> 00:41:15.000
Also, I think you all would just pick topics I don't know anything about.
399
00:41:15.000 --> 00:41:54.000
That's the thing, is that we never know what's going to be thrown out there. Honestly. Do you want to know what one of them was? Who would you rather be haunted by? The ghost of Macho Man Savage, Randy Savage, or the ghost of Gallagher? Well, obviously we know which ghost you want to be haunted by and we know which ghost you don't want to be haunted by. But people don't want to say they. That the worst ghost is the ghost. That is the real ghost that you don't want to be haunted by. That is the real ghost. That, that doesn't make any sense. And everybody wants the ghost that, that they love. And it's hard to debate that.
400
00:41:54.000 --> 00:41:56.000
Well, that's also not a debate topic.
401
00:41:56.000 --> 00:42:00.000
It's really not. But that's, that's how the debates work, Dan.
402
00:42:00.000 --> 00:42:05.000
Well, that's, that's silly. You should have topics that you debate, you know, that are clear and easy to understand.
403
00:42:05.000 --> 00:42:11.000
Well, that's, that's how, that's how unnecessary debates goes.
404
00:42:11.000 --> 00:42:23.000
Well, we get the skull from the party animals and we've got a wonderful man working on it. Mr. Enigma.
405
00:42:23.000 --> 00:42:25.000
Yes. Eddie.
406
00:42:25.000 --> 00:42:47.000
Eddie, Eddie. Yeah. I keep calling Mr. Enigma Eddie. Eddie. And Bruce, you know, it's, I like, I also, it does, you know, Bruce also, he does a lot of songs, you know, and.
407
00:42:47.000 --> 00:42:51.000
Hit Bruce and, and the Eddie Street Band.
408
00:42:51.000 --> 00:42:58.000
Yeah. You remember when he did the, the Mad Max soundtrack song?
409
00:42:58.000 --> 00:42:59.000
Yeah.
410
00:42:59.000 --> 00:43:00.000
You know Fury Road?
411
00:43:00.000 --> 00:43:01.000
Yeah.
412
00:43:01.000 --> 00:43:09.000
Oh, Fury Road. Oh yeah, Dent it. Yeah. Remember that one? Yeah. It was good times. That joke's terrible.
413
00:43:09.000 --> 00:43:11.000
It is. That's an awful joke.
414
00:43:11.000 --> 00:43:13.000
It's a terrible joke.
415
00:43:13.000 --> 00:43:15.000
The guitar solo was amazing though.
416
00:43:15.000 --> 00:43:17.000
Yeah.
417
00:43:17.000 --> 00:43:19.000
It was on fire.
418
00:43:19.000 --> 00:43:29.000
I really like how young in contrast to the big beefy Batman suit that Nick Dragota makes Bruce look.
419
00:43:29.000 --> 00:43:35.000
Oh yeah. I mean he looks like a, like a 20 something year old kid.
420
00:43:35.000 --> 00:43:39.000
Yeah. And how Eddie looks too.
421
00:43:39.000 --> 00:43:42.000
Kids goofing around in a lab.
422
00:43:42.000 --> 00:43:59.000
Yeah, well, one is goofing around in a lab and one is looking at his incredibly smart friend incredibly frustrated over the slowness of his processing of the explanation of everything. And then they call their friend Harvey the lawyer.
423
00:43:59.000 --> 00:44:00.000
Yes.
424
00:44:00.000 --> 00:44:02.000
By the way.
425
00:44:02.000 --> 00:44:03.000
Yeah.
426
00:44:03.000 --> 00:44:06.000
You know an even better lawyer than a young Harvey Dent.
427
00:44:06.000 --> 00:44:07.000
Who's that?
428
00:44:07.000 --> 00:44:14.000
One that would not flip a coin and try to murder you if the wrong side came up.
429
00:44:14.000 --> 00:44:15.000
Who would that be?
430
00:44:15.000 --> 00:44:19.000
He'd only try to murder you if you came to his gym and challenged him.
431
00:44:19.000 --> 00:44:22.000
Would he try to murder you or just make you tap out?
432
00:44:22.000 --> 00:44:25.000
Well, I mean, it might murder you if you chose not to tap out.
433
00:44:25.000 --> 00:44:30.000
I, I, I would, I would hate that. I would hate to think that, that,
434
00:44:30.000 --> 00:44:33.000
that, but it's not murder. You know why?
435
00:44:33.000 --> 00:44:35.000
Because you consented.
436
00:44:35.000 --> 00:45:25.000
Huh? You're correct. It's not murder. Because in the intentional torch theory that I studied last month. Yeah. You know, in, in sports where you agree to have a combat, then you can't be, it's, it's not, it's not assault. Right. Because it's agreed to that. It's none of those things, actually. It's none of those things. No. If somebody, if they, now obviously it might be a wrongful death or something like that. It's a different, different. But if you, if you did it in relation to the sporting activity, it would be hard to prove and, and everything was above board. It'd be hard to prove to a. Now do you Remember the Marty McSorley case in the 2000s? The Hockey Player that went and hit the guy in the back of the head with his stick after the glove fight was over?
437
00:45:25.000 --> 00:45:26.000
I don't remember that.
438
00:45:26.000 --> 00:45:30.000
Well, that might be grounds that that example might be grounds for. For assault.
439
00:45:30.000 --> 00:45:32.000
That's an assault. That's an assault.
440
00:45:32.000 --> 00:45:41.000
Because that wasn't part of the normal play of the sport anyway. See all the things I've learned because I've been studying under one wise Jiu Jitsu lawyer, Paul.
441
00:45:41.000 --> 00:45:45.000
Oh, wow. It's like you have your own. Your, your own sensei.
442
00:45:45.000 --> 00:45:52.000
Yeah. I'm sure when he listens to this, he's going to correct in his brain everything I just said and make sure he tells me what I got wrong.
443
00:45:52.000 --> 00:45:56.000
He's going to be like, dan, you are way off.
444
00:45:56.000 --> 00:46:05.000
He's going to say, you're way off. You should not. Just to be clear, you should never listen to me for legal advice, but if you need good legal advice, don't call Harvey Dent.
445
00:46:05.000 --> 00:46:06.000
Don't call Harvey Dent. Call Jiu Jitsu.
446
00:46:06.000 --> 00:46:11.000
Letter Paul at 253-656-4475.
447
00:46:11.000 --> 00:46:13.000
Oh, my gosh, what was that number again?
448
00:46:13.000 --> 00:46:24.000
It was 253-656-4475. And you can talk to the wonderful Kelly and you could get a consultation booked.
449
00:46:24.000 --> 00:46:27.000
Do it if you need it. Hopefully you don't.
450
00:46:27.000 --> 00:46:30.000
We hope you don't, but if you do.
451
00:46:30.000 --> 00:46:31.000
Yeah.
452
00:46:31.000 --> 00:46:43.000
And you know, that's if your employer was doing terrible things to you, like discriminating against you, taking your wages away, forcing you to return to the office five days a week when you have an accommodation.
453
00:46:43.000 --> 00:46:45.000
Yeah.
454
00:46:45.000 --> 00:47:03.000
Those things are not okay. Those accommodations don't just disappear because the CEO has decided they want more people to buy things at the restaurants in downtown Seattle. It's. Or, or the barbecue place across from. Oh, I'm not gonna say what company, wherever.
455
00:47:03.000 --> 00:47:04.000
That company.
456
00:47:03.000 --> 00:47:36.000
But it's very good. But. And it should be. Patrons should go there. It's very good, but. Yeah, you should. Anyway, these are good reasons to contact Paul. And sometimes if he can't handle your case, he might know somebody that can. So don't be afraid to give Paul a call for something. And he's going to be honest with you too, whether or not you have a case. So unlike me, who is not trustworthy. And you should never listen to me about the law because I'm just learning it. You should talk to somebody that knows.
457
00:47:36.000 --> 00:47:55.000
I had a friend that needed legal help and I got them in touch with Paul and Paul was not the right fit. But Paul had three other people that he said, these are people that I know and trust. You can reach out to them. And they found hope.
458
00:47:55.000 --> 00:48:28.000
Juan, I just watched something, you know, talking about some of the major insurance companies and how Little. They pay out their claims. And so I'll just say, whether it's Paul or anyone, if you're in a car accident or you're having an issue with your homeowner's insurance or something like that, you know, the minute you feel anything or you're getting strange offers and things like that, contact a lawyer, have them negotiate on your behalf. You will be much better off.
459
00:48:28.000 --> 00:48:29.000
Yeah.
460
00:48:28.000 --> 00:48:41.000
Personally, I was in a car accident a year and a half ago now and I still haven't been paid out properly. And the insurance was nice enough to offer the exact amount of the health care costs.
461
00:48:41.000 --> 00:48:44.000
Oh, that was very nice of them.
462
00:48:44.000 --> 00:48:50.000
Yeah. I mean, that doesn't account for all the back issues I was having, as you recall, and all the other things.
463
00:48:50.000 --> 00:48:54.000
The back issues, the trauma, car.
464
00:48:54.000 --> 00:48:58.000
Yeah, yeah. And so, you know, fantastic.
465
00:48:58.000 --> 00:49:02.000
You know, lost of time for work, all those things. Yeah, yeah.
466
00:49:02.000 --> 00:49:10.000
And so, you know, that's where you have somebody negotiating on your behalf who actually understands the law going to help you out. And in this case, how it relates to Batman.
467
00:49:10.000 --> 00:49:11.000
Yeah.
468
00:49:11.000 --> 00:49:16.000
Is they run into a legal question and they call. Immediately call their lawyer friend.
469
00:49:16.000 --> 00:49:20.000
That's what you do.
470
00:49:20.000 --> 00:49:43.000
And he. I do want to highlight this part because he mentions he looked into that arc M fund they mentioned last time because I know that's going to play out later. So I'm gonna highlight that. He says a lot of the funding comes from a company called JK Holdings. Do you think by chance they're taking a shot of a certain author of a wizard's book who is a complete and total piece of.
471
00:49:43.000 --> 00:49:59.000
I mean, they could be, but I also think it could be something else. But I mean, I'm gonna agree that with the last part of the thing that you said. A wizard writer who is a total piece of.
472
00:49:59.000 --> 00:50:02.000
Yeah.
473
00:50:02.000 --> 00:50:14.000
Yeah. Still frustrating. I mean, to no end, because he. It's one of the situations. I. I will say it. It's one of those situations where you can't.
474
00:50:14.000 --> 00:50:15.000
You. It.
475
00:50:15.000 --> 00:50:21.000
It's so. So messy that you can't even unwind the, The. The.
476
00:50:21.000 --> 00:50:22.000
The.
477
00:50:21.000 --> 00:50:26.000
The like for the thing because of the tentacles that are tied around it.
478
00:50:26.000 --> 00:50:29.000
Well, I mean, people seem to. But I can't. So I can't either.
479
00:50:29.000 --> 00:50:42.000
And it's just so frustrating because, you know, at one point in my life there was a. A liking for said things and. Yeah. No, just gone.
480
00:50:42.000 --> 00:50:45.000
Yeah. I mean, it's like trying to watch Rick and Morty.
481
00:50:45.000 --> 00:50:48.000
Yeah, There you go. Yeah. Yeah.
482
00:50:48.000 --> 00:50:54.000
You can't not think about it when you're watching a show.
483
00:50:54.000 --> 00:50:58.000
Yeah, that was a whole conversation in the car.
484
00:50:58.000 --> 00:51:13.000
Yeah. Even when, even when they change who's doing the voices. Yeah, it's the. Yeah. Anyway, so. Well, maybe I would have been great for the car ride then.
485
00:51:13.000 --> 00:51:15.000
Next time.
486
00:51:15.000 --> 00:51:32.000
Anyway, yeah, we, we go back to find Mr. Roman Sionis, the head of this whole negative operation, and remember when I said I hate Harvey Bullock and he's a piece of.
487
00:51:32.000 --> 00:51:33.000
Yeah.
488
00:51:33.000 --> 00:51:39.000
And I. Surprised. Yeah. Well, here you go. He's already a corrupt cop in issue three, so.
489
00:51:39.000 --> 00:51:41.000
Well, there you go.
490
00:51:41.000 --> 00:52:15.000
And Roman Sionis. The best way I can describe with this helmet thing on and the speedo that he's wearing is this is literally everything that Elon Musk wants to be. Yeah, this is like Elon Musk's ultimate fantasy character.
491
00:52:15.000 --> 00:52:22.000
But he, but he can't do that because he's got like a weird cake shaped body.
492
00:52:22.000 --> 00:52:26.000
Yes, but this is his fantasy character. Like he really wants to be.
493
00:52:26.000 --> 00:52:33.000
He wants a doppel helmet and, and, and the ability to wear.
494
00:52:33.000 --> 00:53:00.000
I was just thinking the more ability. So we're gonna get us. We're gonna get a series of pages where Roman establishes his physical strength or prowess. I guess he's, he's a jiu jitsu master, like jiu jitsu lawyer, Paul. And he's fighting basically a UFC fighter or pro wrestler. M. And he's doing it, but he's all skinny and yogi shaped.
495
00:53:00.000 --> 00:53:02.000
Yeah.
496
00:53:02.000 --> 00:53:08.000
And he breaks the guy's arm with a arm suspect arm bar, I might add.
497
00:53:08.000 --> 00:53:13.000
So he's like built like, like, like your friend Jeff from the Internet.
498
00:53:13.000 --> 00:53:34.000
Yeah, sure. I think, I think my. Yeah, it's interesting because, like, I do think there are some actually funny jiu jitsu videos on the Internet where a smaller guy goes against a big guy and they're like doing the arm bar thing and the bigger guy just lifts him up and looks at him.
499
00:53:34.000 --> 00:53:35.000
Yeah.
500
00:53:34.000 --> 00:53:59.000
Because he's like, technique is, is, is a thing, but if you are so much smaller. Technique can work, but it doesn't always anyway. But he murders the guy he's fighting or he turns him into a zombie because he gets red eyes. So I'm not exactly sure.
501
00:53:59.000 --> 00:54:04.000
I, I, I think he.
502
00:54:04.000 --> 00:54:05.000
You think he's dead dead?
503
00:54:05.000 --> 00:54:14.000
I, I think he, he's dead dead. I think he, I think he breaks his blood vessels by strangulation.
504
00:54:14.000 --> 00:54:23.000
Ah. Do you think he's dead dead like the. Oh, so he's dead dead like the ninjas. The, the red suit ninjas?
505
00:54:23.000 --> 00:54:25.000
Yeah, I like the red suit ninjas.
506
00:54:25.000 --> 00:54:30.000
Oh, that, that was disturbing. I didn't know they were going to die like that.
507
00:54:30.000 --> 00:54:31.000
Dead. Dead.
508
00:54:31.000 --> 00:54:36.000
Snake Eyes doesn't murder people. You know, like he just hurts them a little bit and just.
509
00:54:36.000 --> 00:54:39.000
Snake eyes. Snake eyers. See, he. He burst.
510
00:54:39.000 --> 00:54:43.000
Oh, we keep ruining my childhood and all these things.
511
00:54:43.000 --> 00:54:45.000
Sorry.
512
00:54:45.000 --> 00:55:13.000
So, well, anyway, we get this going and we've got our. So we've got corrupt cops and we've got a show off billionaire, I guess. Well, Batman wants to. I mean, Bruce. Bruce wants to do some spying and he's got his help from a super spy.
513
00:55:13.000 --> 00:55:18.000
Kind of his super spirit in the background.
514
00:55:18.000 --> 00:56:06.000
Yeah. We start to find out about all these arcs, right? Arc A, Arc B, arc C. And Arc M is going to be like this new home kind of place, Right. So there's secret unregulated prisons run in conjunction with other governments around the world. So apparently there's one in Santa Prisca, one in Russia, one in China. And Ark M is going to be Metrop, not Metropolis. That would make sense. ARM is going to be Gotham. Maybe it should have been ArcG. Well, then you couldn't have Arkham, like Arkham Asylum. I get it, but. So if you didn't have Arkham Asylum, ARCG would have made more sense, right?
515
00:56:06.000 --> 00:56:15.000
It would have made. Yeah. If you weren't calling for the Art M of Arkham. Yeah.
516
00:56:15.000 --> 00:56:37.000
And as Batman goes to his solitary self there, we get another flashback at the theater. And Selina has invited all of Bruce's friends that he wouldn't see all the friends he knows later, and they all attack him with popcorn while they're watching Zorro. And suddenly Zorro becomes like a super sweet moment in Bruce's wild life.
517
00:56:37.000 --> 00:56:38.000
Yeah.
518
00:56:38.000 --> 00:56:57.000
Instead of the worst. Well, right before the worst moment. Right. It's like in this case, watching Zoro's friends is like the redemption arc. But I guess in regular Batman too, I mean, you could argue that watching Zorro was the last fun thing he did in life before his parents were murdered in front of him.
519
00:56:57.000 --> 00:57:08.000
Yeah. Supposed to be a good. A good moment, but it was the end of his childhood and this is like the continuation. It's like the. The restart of it.
520
00:57:08.000 --> 00:57:16.000
And the reason for him to like be in Gotham. Right. To not run away or not go Right. With monks or something or.
521
00:57:16.000 --> 00:57:17.000
Yeah.
522
00:57:16.000 --> 00:57:24.000
Isolate himself. He's not super rich. He's not going to isolate himself to his house. He has to live in the city and interact with people and.
523
00:57:24.000 --> 00:57:25.000
Yeah.
524
00:57:24.000 --> 00:57:32.000
Understands them just to. It's a nice. Yeah. Again, Batman of the people.
525
00:57:32.000 --> 00:57:33.000
Batman of the people.
526
00:57:33.000 --> 00:57:35.000
Should we, shall we say.
527
00:57:35.000 --> 00:57:49.000
Yeah. And It's. And you look at the bottom panel and. And you get that staff of his mom in the background. You know, she's there. She's watching everything with.
528
00:57:49.000 --> 00:59:05.000
And then we get back to his mom now, and he has found out all this stuff, but he can't tell her he's found out all this stuff. So she's going to try to be deputy mayor and support Commissioner Gordon. And he's like, I don't want you to go out there and stuff. And she's like, but why? And he's like, but I don't want you to. And then he tries to insult her. No, I'm convicted. And then he's like, well, she mentions. Then you try anyway. That's who we are, who I am, who your father was. And Bruce says, and look how it turned out for him. And then she says, I'm going to kiss you now so I don't slap you. And she leaves. And Bruce looks very sad. We get a. A page where Alfred checks in on his daughter he was told to stay away from. We go back to Mr. Corrupt Hill for mayor being on television with some muted pages. So it looks like some TV coverage. Right. We've got like the.
529
00:59:05.000 --> 00:59:06.000
Right.
530
00:59:06.000 --> 00:59:51.000
The party animals doing their thing, destroying stuff with the Bat building in the background. We've got the corrupt guy for mayor with Bullock now hanging out next to him and endorsing him. And we get him on a Fox and Friends or Morning Joe or whatever equivalent thing we've got. And then it. We are slowing down. I'm gearing down for a reason. Because it does. The book's gearing down right now and getting us ready for the next book. Yeah, but we get a flashback page and this page. Yeah, you've just. This is sometimes where, you know, this is where I can't go. Panel. Panel through. You've got to read this book.
531
00:59:51.000 --> 00:59:52.000
Yeah.
532
00:59:51.000 --> 01:00:00.000
Because this last page ties together the zoo. Right. The bats are not blind. So, like, back to why he's doing the surveillance.
533
01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:01.000
Right.
534
01:00:01.000 --> 01:00:32.000
And everything. He's got the mask, and he doesn't know what he's going to do with it. And on TV, Batman gets offered $200 million to stand down for one week. And not rich. Batman is. Looks conflicted.
535
01:00:32.000 --> 01:00:33.000
Yeah.
536
01:00:33.000 --> 01:00:44.000
Like, what could I do if I was uber rich? If I had $200 million, how much help could I do for the city? Does it go against everything I'm going to do?
537
01:00:44.000 --> 01:00:46.000
What could I do? What.
538
01:00:46.000 --> 01:00:57.000
What will it help? And his answer here is, I'll take it. And I Quit reading the book.
539
01:00:57.000 --> 01:00:58.000
You didn't quit reading the book.
540
01:00:58.000 --> 01:01:02.000
I did not. I wanted to know what was going to happen next.
541
01:01:02.000 --> 01:01:16.000
Want to know? As you should. I mean, it's. It's that good. It makes you want to keep going because you want to. You got to know why. Why would he take it? What. What. What's. What's going to happen?
542
01:01:16.000 --> 01:01:29.000
And I did. I, I, I really. I just. From a writing. I was. I was pissed by it, which I think you're supposed to be, of course. And then if you're not, from a curiosity standpoint, I wanted to know how they'd write out of it.
543
01:01:29.000 --> 01:01:52.000
I mean, there's a. There's a number of directions you can go. It's like. It's like a chessboard. You know, you just got to figure out which piece is Bruce Wayne, AKA Batman, playing at the moment, because every piece has a unique way of moving, depending on your opening and your closing.
544
01:01:52.000 --> 01:01:56.000
Well. Well, speaking of playing and challenging.
545
01:01:56.000 --> 01:01:58.000
Yeah.
546
01:01:58.000 --> 01:02:05.000
Yeah. Since he can do it better, I challenge one Mike Tanner.
547
01:02:05.000 --> 01:02:06.000
Oh.
548
01:02:06.000 --> 01:02:08.000
Or Michael Tanner.
549
01:02:08.000 --> 01:02:11.000
A Michael Tanner.
550
01:02:11.000 --> 01:02:16.000
To come on this podcast with a book he wants us to review.
551
01:02:16.000 --> 01:02:18.000
Oh.
552
01:02:18.000 --> 01:02:21.000
Because he needs to establish his superiority.
553
01:02:21.000 --> 01:02:25.000
Oh, really?
554
01:02:25.000 --> 01:02:26.000
Yeah.
555
01:02:26.000 --> 01:02:28.000
You're putting the challenge out there, Dan.
556
01:02:28.000 --> 01:02:32.000
I'm putting the challenge out there Again. I, I, he goes unresponded to every
557
01:02:32.000 --> 01:02:37.000
week, but it does go unresponded. You know why? Because he doesn't listen to the podcast.
558
01:02:37.000 --> 01:02:44.000
Yeah, I, I just thought it was like when Chris Jericho in WCW would challenge Goldberg every week.
559
01:02:44.000 --> 01:02:45.000
Oh, yeah.
560
01:02:45.000 --> 01:02:58.000
Yeah. I'm just so far below his level that he doesn't need to respond. No, it's just like, AT and T never responds to Verizon and T Mobile
561
01:02:58.000 --> 01:03:00.000
because they're so far above.
562
01:03:00.000 --> 01:03:06.000
Well, statistically, yes. I mean, I don't do business. Well, I do do business with them now. My stupid Internet is through them.
563
01:03:06.000 --> 01:03:23.000
You know who I like better? I'm gonna tell you, because they bought Fiverr. I, I like that one that you just have the phone that you push the one or two buttons on that you get all the crickets. No, no, the other one. What's that? The. The lightning bug, the June bug, The.
564
01:03:23.000 --> 01:03:24.000
The jitterbug.
565
01:03:24.000 --> 01:03:27.000
Jitterbug. That's the one.
566
01:03:27.000 --> 01:03:34.000
Yeah. They stole. They stole a song from an amazing artist and put it in an old person's commercial.
567
01:03:34.000 --> 01:03:38.000
I didn't steal the paper. I bought it. That's fair.
568
01:03:38.000 --> 01:03:42.000
Do you think his estate probably needs it? I guess.
569
01:03:42.000 --> 01:03:52.000
Yeah. Yeah. The, the jitter book phone, folks. That's That's. That's the.
570
01:03:52.000 --> 01:03:54.000
That's the phone level of tech you need.
571
01:03:54.000 --> 01:04:10.000
That's really. When you think about it, do you. Do you need everything in your. Do you need everything in the palm of your hand or just something. Yes. Do you really? Yeah. Why I use it. Do. Do you really?
572
01:04:10.000 --> 01:04:11.000
I do.
573
01:04:11.000 --> 01:04:13.000
Do you think so?
574
01:04:13.000 --> 01:04:21.000
Anyway, you know what, though? I think to relax, I think, you know, it's a good time to mention the. Because we're wrapped up here.
575
01:04:21.000 --> 01:04:22.000
Yeah.
576
01:04:21.000 --> 01:04:23.000
And in a reasonable time frame.
577
01:04:23.000 --> 01:04:25.000
In fact, it's amazing.
578
01:04:25.000 --> 01:04:27.000
It's probably a good idea.
579
01:04:27.000 --> 01:04:31.000
I think you putting posters into frames just put you in the right frame of mind, Dan.
580
01:04:31.000 --> 01:04:44.000
Well, I was already loving this book too, and super focused on it. But the. I will say might be a good time to remention the Retro Emporium on Meeker street in Kent, Washington. Because, you know who needs a jitterbug phone?
581
01:04:44.000 --> 01:04:45.000
Who's that?
582
01:04:45.000 --> 01:04:50.000
Well, one owner of the Retro Emporium, Anne Smith. And do you know why she needs a jitterbug phone?
583
01:04:50.000 --> 01:04:54.000
Because she's always on her phone and she needs different.
584
01:04:54.000 --> 01:05:01.000
The business is so successful that she doesn't have time to answer all the requests while she's working.
585
01:05:01.000 --> 01:05:02.000
That's true.
586
01:05:02.000 --> 01:05:25.000
That come in. And so she needs to stay laser focused on those folks that are right there. That's because people come to the Retro Emporium. And if you want to have that, if you want to smell the Fruit Loops, if you want to relive your childhood, Retro Emporium on Meeker street in Kent, Washington, you can't miss it. And you might see Greg. You'll never see the Squacho man, and you'll see David.
587
01:05:25.000 --> 01:05:31.000
You'll see the Squacho man and you'll see David. You will sometimes you'll see Greg.
588
01:05:31.000 --> 01:05:37.000
And if you check their Instagram or their Facebook, you'll find out when bands are playing.
589
01:05:37.000 --> 01:05:40.000
That's true. We have bands. They come play.
590
01:05:40.000 --> 01:05:50.000
I feel like we just keep adding things to advertise. And of course, here in Tacoma, every. Every third Friday of the month, you've got Friday Night frights. It's Blue Mouse Theater. I went.
591
01:05:50.000 --> 01:05:52.000
You went.
592
01:05:52.000 --> 01:05:55.000
Poster for Mark Brill for. You know what this was, Greg.
593
01:05:55.000 --> 01:05:57.000
How much was it?
594
01:05:57.000 --> 01:05:58.000
10 bucks.
595
01:05:58.000 --> 01:05:59.000
10 bucks.
596
01:05:59.000 --> 01:06:00.000
That's it.
597
01:06:00.000 --> 01:06:02.000
That's a steal.
598
01:06:02.000 --> 01:06:05.000
I know. And I found all about this guy.
599
01:06:05.000 --> 01:06:07.000
Oh, yeah?
600
01:06:07.000 --> 01:06:10.000
Yeah. Because, you know, zombies can learn.
601
01:06:10.000 --> 01:06:13.000
They can learn. And he liked to use it.
602
01:06:13.000 --> 01:06:14.000
This was not a good movie.
603
01:06:14.000 --> 01:06:16.000
It was a great movie, but, boy,
604
01:06:16.000 --> 01:06:21.000
was it fun to watch it In a group with a group of people laughing at all the funny parts.
605
01:06:21.000 --> 01:06:25.000
Day of the Dead or Dawn of the Dead. Which one do you like better? Probably dawn of the Dead.
606
01:06:25.000 --> 01:06:28.000
Dawn of the Dead. Both. Both versions.
607
01:06:28.000 --> 01:06:29.000
Bulk versions?
608
01:06:29.000 --> 01:06:32.000
Yeah, yeah. The original and the mall.
609
01:06:32.000 --> 01:06:35.000
Yeah, yeah. And the new version.
610
01:06:35.000 --> 01:06:37.000
Yeah, yeah.
611
01:06:37.000 --> 01:06:39.000
But they're both malls.
612
01:06:39.000 --> 01:06:40.000
Oh, sorry.
613
01:06:40.000 --> 01:06:46.000
Original originally or crispy?
614
01:06:46.000 --> 01:06:48.000
Hang on, I'm getting confused.
615
01:06:48.000 --> 01:06:50.000
They're both in malls.
616
01:06:50.000 --> 01:06:52.000
Dawn of the Dead came out before Day of the Dead.
617
01:06:52.000 --> 01:06:55.000
No, no. Well, there's. There's two versions of.
618
01:06:55.000 --> 01:06:57.000
There's the second one. Yeah.
619
01:06:57.000 --> 01:06:59.000
There's. There's Night of Living Dead, dawn of the Dead.
620
01:06:59.000 --> 01:07:02.000
There's the Day of the Dead and then there's dawn of the Dead again.
621
01:07:02.000 --> 01:07:09.000
There's Day of the Dead and then dawn of. There's another dawn of the Dead. There's another. There's two legs of the living dead, maybe three.
622
01:07:09.000 --> 01:07:12.000
I don't mean dawn of the Dead 2004.
623
01:07:12.000 --> 01:07:18.000
Why not? That's a good one. No, I'm thinking the fast moving zombies. Slow zombies.
624
01:07:18.000 --> 01:07:26.000
Wait, I think. Well, no, I like it. I think I was talking about. I don't know what I'm talking about.
625
01:07:26.000 --> 01:07:29.000
Do you tell every of the Dead?
626
01:07:29.000 --> 01:07:31.000
I've never seen that.
627
01:07:31.000 --> 01:07:33.000
Are you sure?
628
01:07:33.000 --> 01:07:37.000
I have seen the dawn of the Dead. Where? They're in the mall. Right. Well, that's what I'm thinking about.
629
01:07:37.000 --> 01:07:41.000
The. From the 70s, right? Yeah, yeah, that's. That's.
630
01:07:41.000 --> 01:07:43.000
And they end up on the island at the end.
631
01:07:43.000 --> 01:07:45.000
Yeah, that's. That's the original dawn of the Dead.
632
01:07:45.000 --> 01:07:48.000
Yeah, I like that movie. Okay, this movie. Not good.
633
01:07:48.000 --> 01:07:51.000
That's. That's Day of the Dead. That's.
634
01:07:51.000 --> 01:07:54.000
I've not seen the new dawn of the Dead. I don't think.
635
01:07:54.000 --> 01:07:57.000
Oh, you should watch it.
636
01:07:57.000 --> 01:08:04.000
But I love the original. I love Night of Living Dead. I love dawn of the Dead. Day of the Dead, it was.
637
01:08:04.000 --> 01:08:10.000
Was Return of the Living Dead with the punk zombies.
638
01:08:10.000 --> 01:08:12.000
Actors were so terrible in Day of the Dead.
639
01:08:12.000 --> 01:08:24.000
You got, you. You got Return of the Living Dead, Punk rock zombies. I remember being a kid and my mom wanted USCA and I think I shouldn't have seen that movie.
640
01:08:24.000 --> 01:08:30.000
Yes. What about Shaun of the Dead?
641
01:08:30.000 --> 01:08:31.000
Sean of the Dead?
642
01:08:31.000 --> 01:08:32.000
I have.
643
01:08:31.000 --> 01:08:41.000
I got the double feature disc of the new dawn of the Dead and Shaun of the Dead. I had to watch Shaun of the Dead after I watched dawn of the Dead.
644
01:08:41.000 --> 01:08:43.000
Yeah, Shaun of the Dead is a fantastic.
645
01:08:43.000 --> 01:08:48.000
I needed. I needed a good laugh after I watched something that was just draining.
646
01:08:48.000 --> 01:08:51.000
Well, to get a laugh, you could watch Day of the Dead and Shaun of the Dead.
647
01:08:51.000 --> 01:08:56.000
Ah, well, I mean, of course. But I mean,
648
01:08:56.000 --> 01:09:19.000
I mean, I, I, I appreciate what they were trying to do with Day of the Dead. I appreciated Danny Bole even more because it is fast zombies versus slow zombies. But Danny Bole does in 25 minutes with the military people what they try to do in an hour and a half in Day of the Dead.
649
01:09:19.000 --> 01:09:29.000
Dan, you're talking about, you're talking about 28 days later. Yeah, that's not zombies. Those are people of rage. They have a, they have a rage virus.
650
01:09:29.000 --> 01:09:30.000
Those are fast zombies.
651
01:09:30.000 --> 01:09:36.000
That's not, it's not, it's not. They're not zombies. They have a. They're people who are affected with a rage virus.
652
01:09:36.000 --> 01:09:38.000
Those are fast zombies.
653
01:09:38.000 --> 01:09:39.000
They're not zombies.
654
01:09:39.000 --> 01:09:40.000
They're dead.
655
01:09:40.000 --> 01:09:46.000
They're not dead. They are still alive. They have a rage virus. They have a rage virus.
656
01:09:46.000 --> 01:09:47.000
They're dead.
657
01:09:47.000 --> 01:09:48.000
They're not dead.
658
01:09:48.000 --> 01:09:49.000
They're dead.
659
01:09:49.000 --> 01:09:50.000
They're not dead.
660
01:09:50.000 --> 01:09:51.000
They're dead.
661
01:09:51.000 --> 01:09:52.000
Not dead.
662
01:09:52.000 --> 01:09:55.000
Yes. When people die, they get the rage virus.
663
01:09:55.000 --> 01:10:05.000
No, they don't die from the rage virus. They get the virus and then they continue living until they do die. But they don't die from the rage virus.
664
01:10:05.000 --> 01:10:08.000
Actually,
665
01:10:08.000 --> 01:10:10.000
have you watched all the movies, Dan?
666
01:10:10.000 --> 01:10:13.000
Huh? Even the last shitty one? Yes.
667
01:10:13.000 --> 01:10:18.000
Now then you die. Do you know how the virus works, Dan?
668
01:10:18.000 --> 01:10:20.000
You know what, Craig?
669
01:10:20.000 --> 01:10:21.000
Yeah.
670
01:10:20.000 --> 01:10:35.000
For the purposes of this discussion, I would like to have two classification groups. One classification group is slow zombies. Those are the ones that go. And then I would like fast zombies, the ones that run at you and scare you. And those are.
671
01:10:35.000 --> 01:10:38.000
And that's like Train of Busan. There you go.
672
01:10:38.000 --> 01:10:45.000
And so even if they're not technically zombies, they still fit into my classification category.
673
01:10:45.000 --> 01:10:48.000
Listeners. I want your input.
674
01:10:48.000 --> 01:11:07.000
And fast zombies destroy civilization. And slow zombies allow people to rebuild civilization around them. That's the basic premise. And the military can't deal with either of them.
675
01:11:07.000 --> 01:11:09.000
That's true. They can't.
676
01:11:09.000 --> 01:11:10.000
You know what could, though?
677
01:11:10.000 --> 01:11:12.000
What?
678
01:11:12.000 --> 01:11:15.000
Space force.
679
01:11:15.000 --> 01:11:17.000
A space horse.
680
01:11:17.000 --> 01:11:18.000
Space force.
681
01:11:18.000 --> 01:11:28.000
Not space horse. A space horse. Wow. A horse from space coming down and, and, and helping out. That would be pretty, pretty empowering and pretty cool.
682
01:11:28.000 --> 01:11:30.000
Well, that and the Canine Space Patrol.
683
01:11:30.000 --> 01:11:34.000
Yeah, See that? Those are two great things.
684
01:11:34.000 --> 01:11:38.000
Yes. Canine Space Patrol would be, they would be amazing.
685
01:11:38.000 --> 01:11:41.000
That's like Air Bud when he goes to space.
686
01:11:41.000 --> 01:11:42.000
No, no.
687
01:11:42.000 --> 01:11:44.000
Oh, because that was a good movie.
688
01:11:44.000 --> 01:11:45.000
I like that one.
689
01:11:45.000 --> 01:11:47.000
Oh,
690
01:11:47.000 --> 01:11:48.000
God.
691
01:11:48.000 --> 01:11:49.000
Yeah.
692
01:11:49.000 --> 01:11:51.000
I don't think they would let airbud in.
693
01:11:51.000 --> 01:12:13.000
I, I don't know. I've seen the movie. I really enjoyed it. I was surprised that. That dogs could fly a space shuttle, but they. They made it happen in the movie, so therefore I believe it. Yeah, Anything is possible with movie magic, Dan. Even your fast zombies that aren't zombies.
694
01:12:13.000 --> 01:12:23.000
I. I don't know why you're so. Is this. Is this something I've been missing in pop culture lore forever? That this is actually a huge debate that I don't know about?
695
01:12:23.000 --> 01:12:29.000
It is. I mean, yes.
696
01:12:29.000 --> 01:12:32.000
I think those folks need to get a life.
697
01:12:32.000 --> 01:12:35.000
Danny Boyle even says they're not zombies when he's wrong.
698
01:12:35.000 --> 01:12:36.000
I don't care what he says.
699
01:12:36.000 --> 01:12:44.000
He's the guy that made the movie. Although I think it's a director bought from the comic books that
700
01:12:44.000 --> 01:12:45.000
I thought
701
01:12:45.000 --> 01:12:49.000
you're gonna be like, here's the thing about the zombies.
702
01:12:49.000 --> 01:12:53.000
No, I went to a much happier place.
703
01:12:53.000 --> 01:13:06.000
I really think the first, like, 10 minutes of 28 days later is literally the first 28 minutes or first. First 12 minutes of the Walking Dead. But, I mean, who am I?
704
01:13:06.000 --> 01:13:15.000
Oh, the Walking Dead. Completely ripped off. Yeah, but, I mean. But then again, like, I don't want to say ripped off. I want to say use artistic license. Right? Like, it was.
705
01:13:15.000 --> 01:13:19.000
I think the Walking Dead came out. The comic book came out roughly way after.
706
01:13:19.000 --> 01:13:20.000
No way.
707
01:13:20.000 --> 01:13:21.000
It came after.
708
01:13:21.000 --> 01:13:24.000
Way, way, like, ten years after.
709
01:13:24.000 --> 01:13:27.000
Ten years after. Okay, I. I really didn't.
710
01:13:27.000 --> 01:13:34.000
Oh, yeah. The beginning of the Walking Dead is a complete ripoff of the beginning of the book. Days Later. Yeah, both.
711
01:13:34.000 --> 01:13:35.000
Okay.
712
01:13:35.000 --> 01:14:32.000
Yeah, the comic. Yeah, it's complete ripoff. And. But again, just like I said, I don't say complete ripoff, but the looking at the military theme and how they interacted with the people and how they did that in Day of the Dead. I mean, those two things are. Are similar, too. I mean, I think just Danny Bole had better actors and a better script. Right. Like, I don't know who that military guy was. The actor in Day of the Dead, he's terrible, and I think it's supposed to be that way, but. Oh, yeah, it's just, you know, it's. He's. He's a terrible actor. I mean, I think George Romero has that ability to either, you know, do it right or do it right, and sometimes doing it right is making the characters laughable. Right. Which is. Is. Is what he's doing. So I don't want to say it's. So when I say it's a terrible movie, I mean it's a terrible movie. But did I enjoy watching it?
713
01:14:32.000 --> 01:14:33.000
Yeah.
714
01:14:32.000 --> 01:14:35.000
Oh. Oh, yeah. I loved watching it. It was fantastic.
715
01:14:35.000 --> 01:15:11.000
I think, honestly, if you want to watch something that's really good and comparable, if you were to watch the 70s crazies that he put together and then you watch the remake that was done in the 2000s, like Travis and the three of us were talking about both of billions equally good. You get, you get fast moving zombies for people who are infected and becoming zombie like. But it's, it's interesting and you get a better representation of how the military acts or doesn't act.
716
01:15:11.000 --> 01:15:15.000
Okay, okay. By, by the way, you are. You are correct.
717
01:15:15.000 --> 01:15:16.000
What?
718
01:15:16.000 --> 01:15:17.000
You're never gonna hear me say this again.
719
01:15:17.000 --> 01:15:20.000
The comic, the, the comic book came out before.
720
01:15:20.000 --> 01:15:21.000
No, it came out one year later.
721
01:15:21.000 --> 01:15:29.000
One year later. Okay. Yeah. So it was, it was real.
722
01:15:29.000 --> 01:15:32.000
Yeah. Even closer than I thought it was.
723
01:15:32.000 --> 01:15:36.000
So. But I mean, I.
724
01:15:36.000 --> 01:15:37.000
That's.
725
01:15:36.000 --> 01:15:40.000
Yeah,
726
01:15:40.000 --> 01:15:54.000
well, I mean, I had that. We know that the author of the Walking Dead is the classic as a classy human, so very. I know you're a big fan of his. No, even the Walking Dead's a really good story.
727
01:15:54.000 --> 01:16:12.000
It, you know, it might be. I mean, I, I've, I've. That's the thing is like, I, I read a little bit of it, I watched a little bit of it. I, I write stuff that is in vain, but I'm more of a Romero fan, so. Hence you'll see more Romero references in Junior Braves than you'll ever see Walking Dead.
728
01:16:12.000 --> 01:16:18.000
Yeah, but, but Kirkman and Romero, as far as how they approach zombies, is very similar.
729
01:16:18.000 --> 01:16:24.000
Well, yeah, because when, when you choose something that works well.
730
01:16:24.000 --> 01:16:43.000
But I think, I mean, I, I'm okay with some attacks on Robert Kirkman's like, attitude and demeanor and things like that, but what I will say is, though, I mean, when you start looking at zombie movies, there's basically. I mean, this. We were just talking about. There's two classifications. There's fast and slow. I mean, what else do you do?
731
01:16:43.000 --> 01:16:53.000
The way that society come up with something original, a situation occurs and how people act or don't act. Yeah, you're not wrong, because that's what
732
01:16:53.000 --> 01:17:03.000
Romero is doing through the three stories, the original three. When it happens, what happens in the middle, and then what happens after the zombies have overrun the earth? And then what do you do then?
733
01:17:03.000 --> 01:17:33.000
I think it's interesting though, because, like, when you, when you, if you start watching the first season of the show, even if you're reading the book too, it all happens so quickly, without explanation, and it's hard to believe that something would happen so quickly. But then again it's like, okay, I guess it's. You have to suspend disbelief. I think you get a better understanding. They play it out better in the spinoff series.
734
01:17:33.000 --> 01:17:38.000
See, I didn't watch the spin off. I quit watching, I guess what season five or six.
735
01:17:38.000 --> 01:18:24.000
I watched the first couple episodes of the spin off series because I wanted to see what the, what the take was on it and as to how things worked or whatever. Because they took it from ground ground zero essentially. And it made more sense as to like, okay, cool. That's, that's actually in my mind how things would play out in a sense, you know, as a. From a writing perspective and from a person you study could task for humans. It's like, okay, that's how you would, that's how you would work a situation. I mean, we've seen it with Kachina, we've seen it with other, other situations and that's kind of how you would try to mitigate things like that.
736
01:18:24.000 --> 01:18:38.000
I think when you do it, the way they did it though is like with slow zombies versus fast zombies. Right. Like where the fast zombies, you have to learn about what happened, otherwise you're going to die really quickly.
737
01:18:38.000 --> 01:18:39.000
Yeah.
738
01:18:39.000 --> 01:18:54.000
With slow zombies you can slowly. That's part of the thing. You can slowly learn about what happened, but you don't. So you don't have to. So starting it, starting Walking Dead the way they did allowed them to just ignore how it all started, Right?
739
01:18:54.000 --> 01:18:55.000
Yeah.
740
01:18:54.000 --> 01:19:31.000
Because he's not going to know and then he's going to start interacting with people who do and he's going to be filled in and, or, you know, you're already going to have some societal structures rebuilt. It's. I, you know, again, I know you don't like Kirkman walking Dead from start to finish the comic and ending it. There's where I'll have respect for him as a writer. He ended the story. He didn't try to keep going forever. But the, but the, the TV series lost my interest.
741
01:19:31.000 --> 01:19:34.000
You keep running into the same situation over and over again.
742
01:19:34.000 --> 01:19:35.000
Yeah. For the series.
743
01:19:35.000 --> 01:19:46.000
And it's, it's like, okay, how many times can you have the same situation occur where people just don't learn from their prior experience?
744
01:19:46.000 --> 01:20:27.000
But I will say in, in the. I know it makes it into the TV series and I never got there, but the skinwalkers thing in the comic was one. Both terrifying but also just like, I did feel like he was able to come up with these different. Like, how would people react? Like and some of them were like, well, the zombies have won, so we better adapt to the zombies. Was very interesting because you talk about with zombies, how do you come up with different takes on how do you, how do you, I guess, you know, we've extended the podcast now talking about zombies. But how do you, how do you come up with a new way to tell a zombie story?
745
01:20:27.000 --> 01:20:28.000
Yeah.
746
01:20:27.000 --> 01:20:38.000
And a new way to tell a zombie story is have the people become. Just say they won't and then figure out how to assimilate in.
747
01:20:38.000 --> 01:20:40.000
Live within that. Well, I mean, yeah, I mean that's
748
01:20:40.000 --> 01:20:43.000
like, I don't mean live within, literally live with.
749
01:20:43.000 --> 01:21:05.000
Yeah, that's like a very quizzling type thing. But I, I would say Max Brother does a better job in Last Kids on Earth in a children's book doing the same thing for the kids. Trying to maneuver through a land of zombies and monsters. Doing exactly that.
750
01:21:05.000 --> 01:21:06.000
Yeah.
751
01:21:05.000 --> 01:21:08.000
But I mean, that's just my take. And who cares?
752
01:21:08.000 --> 01:21:10.000
What, you haven't read all of Walking Dead though.
753
01:21:10.000 --> 01:21:12.000
I, I've read enough.
754
01:21:12.000 --> 01:21:15.000
You didn't read to the part I'm talking about, though.
755
01:21:15.000 --> 01:21:33.000
I know what you're talking about. That's the thing. Like I, I know, I, I, I've read enough bits and pieces to, to know what you're talking about. Where they've done that. They're the skinwalkers who basically wear the zombie skin.
756
01:21:33.000 --> 01:21:34.000
Yeah.
757
01:21:34.000 --> 01:21:42.000
And they're in the horde, surviving.
758
01:21:42.000 --> 01:21:50.000
Well. And while I'm praising all this, the worst thing they did was then end the story and then relaunch it in color from issue one.
759
01:21:50.000 --> 01:21:52.000
That's what comics do.
760
01:21:52.000 --> 01:21:56.000
You. Yeah. I hated that Junior braced.
761
01:21:56.000 --> 01:21:58.000
Just joking.
762
01:21:58.000 --> 01:22:17.000
I know that was just a cash grab, but. Yeah. Anyway, this moment about zombies was brought to you by. I don't know. Zombies. So Dan, talking about going to Friday Night Frights.
763
01:22:17.000 --> 01:22:18.000
Yeah.
764
01:22:17.000 --> 01:22:27.000
And I mean, we both love zombie stuff, so Greg more than me because he's the one that writes a book where they're mutants because they're not really zombies.
765
01:22:27.000 --> 01:22:33.000
That's right. Good job. They're mutants, not zombies because.
766
01:22:33.000 --> 01:22:36.000
And we don't know how they've gotten that way yet.
767
01:22:36.000 --> 01:22:38.000
And you might never know.
768
01:22:38.000 --> 01:22:41.000
We might never know because we're never going to have another book.
769
01:22:41.000 --> 01:24:03.000
We're going to get another book. And you know what I'm going to say. And you know what's crazy? Okay. Honestly. So Comic Stromas over here. I, I had written a whole entire thing about how, how the, the meeting outbreak happened. And our original editor was like, that that's totally far fetched. There's no way that there's going to be some sort of. There's. There's never going to be some sort of worldwide epidemic going. Going on where people are. There's going to be really some pharmaceutical companies going to need to send out all of these vaccines and vaccination kits to people so they can vaccinate people. And that's going to. There's going to be ill effects and that's going to cause mutations in people. And you know, like, that's far fetched. And I'm like, well, that is far fetched, but that's. That's what that. You know, like, it's not too far fetched to believe that there could be something that would cause something like that to the point where there's a need for something. And you know, that's the. That's the jumping point, right? That's. That's how you get from point A to point B. Wait, so your Q? Yeah. Some Q this whole time.
770
01:24:03.000 --> 01:24:05.000
Holy.
771
01:24:05.000 --> 01:24:06.000
I know.
772
01:24:05.000 --> 01:24:07.000
And I don't mean Q from Star Trek.
773
01:24:07.000 --> 01:24:11.000
Oh, I'm not Q from Star Trek. Q who?
774
01:24:11.000 --> 01:24:14.000
No, I meant from QAnon.
775
01:24:14.000 --> 01:24:28.000
Oh, God. I mean, Dan, no. Birds are not real. You can't see the tinfoil under my hat.
776
01:24:28.000 --> 01:24:31.000
Well, I think on that note. Oh, sorry. Finish your thought.
777
01:24:31.000 --> 01:24:38.000
Oh, no, I was just gonna say. And yeah, so. So we checked that part out, but it's going back in. Damn it.
778
01:24:38.000 --> 01:24:42.000
Yeah, it's. That definitely didn't come true.
779
01:24:42.000 --> 01:24:44.000
So none of it.
780
01:24:44.000 --> 01:24:52.000
Well, we should probably wrap this one up. I think we've. I didn't. Oh, I did forget to plug something.
781
01:24:52.000 --> 01:24:55.000
What was that?
782
01:24:55.000 --> 01:24:59.000
I don't know. I don't even know anymore. He forgot to. Skyborg.
783
01:24:59.000 --> 01:25:07.000
Sky falling. Alex reign brings the pain from the sky. It's insane.
784
01:25:07.000 --> 01:25:17.000
It's raining Overcast Overcast comics go there. Learn more about Alex Rain and the future of Nemesis. And you can also follow it on
785
01:25:17.000 --> 01:25:20.000
Kickstarter and you can back the cyborg movie.
786
01:25:20.000 --> 01:25:24.000
Yeah, you do that too. That's not on Kickstarter yet, though.
787
01:25:24.000 --> 01:25:28.000
Well, you can follow along and Travis will post about it.
788
01:25:28.000 --> 01:25:39.000
There's all sorts of things happening and you should go check it out because if you are into Albert Pune, then be as excited as Travis Bundy was gonna be.
789
01:25:39.000 --> 01:25:41.000
Yeah, it's gonna be pretty cool.
790
01:25:41.000 --> 01:26:02.000
All right, so that's it. We should wrap this up, but thank you. I hope you enjoyed our foray into absolute Batman number three, our side journey into zombies, and honestly too, let us know if you agree or disagree with us about the zombie and if you are a zombie fan or a zombie creator, we'd love to have you on. Come on and we'll talk about your zombie book.
791
01:26:02.000 --> 01:26:13.000
Yeah. And if you, if you. I was going to say, if you also like to hear Dan put posters into frames, let us know.
792
01:26:13.000 --> 01:26:47.000
Oh, join us. Yeah, let us know. I mean, it's just like putting on makeup and doing the podcast. Oh, and Tony Fleeks, Heck, I'll call you out. You're never going to come on our podcast. You've never heard of our podcast. But if you want to come on here and tell us whether the animals have a rage virus or they're actually zombies in feral, we'll have that discussion. I would love to have that discussion. That would be fantastic. One of my favorite books. I've never met Tony Fleeks. I barely follow him on social. I follow them on socials. But you know what? Reed Ferrell, it's fantastic. All right. That's it. That's my message.
793
01:26:47.000 --> 01:26:53.000
It.
