Speaker 1 (00:00):
Mickey seventeen more like Mickey nineteen million domestic. Yeah. Eh,
the fans are getting their Dark Punisher. DC could get
a deal if they want a cheap Batman bea bezos
put out the order for chopping Bracolay Well, Avatar kill us.
What's the opposite of rudderless Paul? That's who macnu is back?
(00:23):
All right, All that and more coming up this week
on Newsdump.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
I'm saying this right now. That is the best read
you have ever done. Maybe the best headlines I've ever written,
best start to a news dump. Should we end it here?
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Yeah, that's it. Good job everyone, We'll see you next week.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Now, first, I would like to apologize for those of
you viewing on YouTube. I look like shit again. I'm sorry.
I was gonna shave. I am, I was gonna rush
this morning. My shirt is all wrinkled up, I have
avocados stain on my shirt. I'm dishoveled. I don't look
good again. So please, if you can just divert your
eyes for the next thirty to forty minutes, that'd be nice.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
You're also the type of beardman where you shave in
the morning, you get a five o'clock shadow by five o'clock.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
I actually shave it into a five o'clock shadow. I
don't use the straight to skin buzzer. I use the
it's a Gillette styler. I call it.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Okay, I use the one blade thing.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Things pretty good, like you use just a single blade,
like you're an old timey barber.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
No, it's the name of the product made by Phillips Norelka.
I believe it's called the one Blade.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
So Mac, Before we get into all of those topics,
let's get to the iHeart Podcast Awards. We are recording
on Mario Day. It's a me A Madia March tenth.
The awards, the iHeart Awards are tonight, So when you
listen to this on the eleventh, you're gonna know who won. Yeah,
but we also know this. We didn't. We didn't.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Yeah, and spice to say, we're not nominated for anything.
I don't know what the awards tale, but our parent
company is having some awards saying now is this say?
Is this being live stream? Where can the people watch
this fucking thing?
Speaker 2 (02:08):
I believe that you can hear it on the same
channel that you hear us on Sunday mornings. Talk twelve hundred.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Okay, so they are live streaming a audio recording of
this award show, and.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
I think you can probably watch it somewhere too. I
should have gotten more information, But the whole thing here
is that we're not nominated for Podcast of the Year
in that.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Category equivalent the best picture.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
I would assume. So you have normal Gossip, three Giggly Squad,
call Her Daddy, Lass Hysterical, the Telepathy Tapes, who Killed JFK,
Empire City, the untold origin story of the NYPD, and
the Good Whale.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
I had a conversation the other day about podcasts, and
I listened to almost no podcasts these days. I used
to listen to a lot of put not a lot,
but a few. Now I'm down to like zero. You
still dabble occasional, get out there in the podcast world. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
For best Comedy podcast, it is the Nicky Glazer podcast
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade,
Normal Gossip, bad Friends, and call her Daddy.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
The way I consume podcasts these days with my ears
two minute videos on social media, so I don't I
don't consume the podcast itself at all.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Also not up for Best pop culture podcasts. We are
not up for best food podcasts. We dabble in food
as well.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
That's our thing. We're genre lists right.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Don't know why I couldn't figure it out earlier. It's
because we don't fall into any of these genres because
we we do music. We do news. We're in a
news dump right now. We do best kids and family podcasts,
even though on YouTube we highly recommend if you have children,
do not watch US sports podcast. We talk about no
mark constantly fiction podcast. Most of what we say is
(03:54):
a lie.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Yeah, yeah, there you go.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
That's pure fiction. Best science podcast. Remember the time that
I had that pringles can and I turned it into
a radio.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
You actually did your homework on that one. That's right.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Best ad Read. All of our adreads are so good
that they get taken out of the podcast because no
one wants to sponsor us. Best Ensemble podcast is too
enough for an ensemble.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Would we get sued by an ad company for advertising
their products, not falsely, but without permission? Like if we
wanted a Rolex AD and I started advertising for Rolex.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
No no, so we would have to say that we like,
this is not sponsored by it, But here's an ad
that we wrote like when we used to do on
the old pad or the old pod. You know, this
segment could be sponsored by three D de Rios, Sam
Goodie Hypotheticals. Yeah, best political podcast. Now, I don't think
that we qualified for twenty twenty four, but last week's
(04:51):
pod we got pretty poly charged, and that might get
us into this category for next year.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
We're off to a heart spot in twenty twenty five,
that's for sure. Twenty twenty four, we didn't We didn't
do it politics. Everyone says that about it.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
We definitely would not do well in the Best TV
and Film Podcast. That might be the weakest part of
this show.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Well, here's the thing. You know, if you're a newer
listener to the program. Here, let's say six years ago,
you used to watch a lot of television and a
lot of movies. He's had a lot of life events
in the last six wee watches any television in few movies,
so things have changed.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
We could be best travel podcast. I went to Rome
two years ago. You went to Hawaii and you picked
up that Gilligan's Island fact.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
That's our fucking number one hot selling video right there.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
It is. The demos on it aren't great, but YouTube
has it as our number one and best emerging podcast.
Not gonna lie with Kylie Kelsey. That thing sucks. Come on, guys,
is it bad? You haven't heard it?
Speaker 1 (05:51):
I thought people liked that good. We just got over
talking about how little I listened to podcasts.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
I thought that the one podcast that you might listen
to is Jason Kelce's wife.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Ason Kelsey's wife. What does she talk about?
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Well, she's not gonna lie about it, I'll tell you
that much, so she would not fall into the fiction category.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Bib Free with Kelsey. That's what they should call it.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
So jump over to X right now, jump over to Instagram,
go on your emails, and just start berating the powers
at b to get us into all of these categories
next year. There you go, news dump, what's the real
news here?
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Over at the box office, Mickey seventeen took home the
number one spot over the weekend nineteen point one domestic
fifty three worldwide, but on a budget of one hundred
and eighteen million, and you add the advertising on there.
I read that they have to make two hundred and
seventy five million to break even. That is bad news.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Yeah, they're not going to do that. I think they
might make two hundred, but they're not going to make
two seventy five.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
If they made fifty three after one weekend, I don't
think they make two hundred.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Yeah, you might be right about that, and especially what's
coming out these next couple of weeks. If you're looking
for a review of that movie, that's uh good most
recent episode and we liked it. We liked it. It's
a good movie. It's worth seeing. But that said, I
don't know if it's worth seeing in theater, so maybe
wait two months. Who knows.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
I'll tell you what. Shout out Matt Damon on Hot Ones.
If we were still doing DVDs, I think this movie
would make some money back DVD wise, sure, but sorry
to tell you this, no one's buying DVDs.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
I'm curious. I've been curious about people's feelings about this movie.
I have read that this is most like his movie
Okja Bun June Host. I haven't seen that, so maybe
I'll go and watch that this week. Maybe I'll see
how that how that flows.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Second of the box office is Brave New World Captain
America eight and a half million, one seventy six domestic,
it is going to pass First Avenger this week, needs
another eight million to get to the twenty eighth in
the MCU Last Breath at four point two million, the
Monkey four million dollars, Paddington in Peru three point eight,
and dog Man still sniffing around at three point five.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Yeah, Brave New World is in an interesting spot. If
you go and look up the domestic box office for
MCU movies, it's in a grouping of movies that aren't
that great, which I guess sort of makes sense for
that movie. It's gonna pass First Avenger this week and
put it in like thirty third or thirty second or
some shit, and then like the next five movies are
all within seven or eight million, and then there's a
(08:21):
there's a leap up. So it's gonna finish probably right
around one hundred and ninety million. It's it's probably one
of the more forgettable MCU movies, but worldwide, I think
it's still gonna make like four hundred and fifty million,
so they're still making money on these.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Captain Falcon should have used his wings falcon punch. You said,
leap up should fly if he wants to jump over
those hurdles right right?
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Maybe a doodle jump?
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Oh remember that game? Oh if we don't have it
in here? Did you see the finalist for the Video
Game Hall of Fame?
Speaker 1 (08:53):
No? I did not.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
I don't have it here. I don't even have it remembered.
I think Call of Duty four is on there? But
how is j Ball not nominated? Is jez Ball already in?
Jez Ball must already be in?
Speaker 1 (09:04):
What the fuck is jez Ball?
Speaker 2 (09:05):
You don't know what the fuck jez Ball is? No,
it's a computer game. You have two balls that bounce
around the screen, and you need to take away seventy
five percent of the screen that is there while capturing
the balls and not letting it hit your barriers as
they grow.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Seems like you're a big jezz ball guy.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
I'm a huge jezz ball guy. And as the game progresses,
you get more and more balls, but you still need
to remove seventy five percent of the screen.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
So, but I don't quite understand. So can the balls
knock off your partitions.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
As long as the partitions are still growing at the time,
like they have not reached the barriers of your rectangle. Yes,
the balls can destroy them, but once they hit the
end of the screen. They are there permanently.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Was this on a website or did this come on
PC PCs. I don't know why. I don't know it.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Cha go jezz Ball.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
You know it's a great game. Snood, bring back Snooz.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Tell me about Snood. This is a good news.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
You don't know Snood.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
No, tell me all about Snood.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Snood has had a little cannon in the center of
the screen. I hope everyone's tuning into the YouTube video
for this little cannon. And there were all sorts of faces.
There was There was like a ball shape thing, but
they had faces and different colors, and you had to
connect three in a row in order to get rid
of it. You're almost trying to get rid of rows
in the way you would tetris wise, except the screens
moving up from top to down, opposite of tetris, and
(10:23):
once you connected three, they'd fall off. But they all
had funky little faces, and your cannon could move like this,
so you could shoot your snowed face wherever you wanted
to shoot it.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
I also liked that mouse game that was a lot
like jezz Ball. You had to put cheese and capture
the mice.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
We had vastly different PCs.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
What was the game? Now everyone knows Oregon Trail, But
wasn't there also a fish game that you would play
on there? I don't know how how you win the
fish game.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Are you going back to floppy disk days?
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (10:48):
You and I are old enough that the floppy disk
drive was detached from your personal computer and you had
to have a core to connect your floppy disc to
the computer unit itself.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Oh what is that fucking rabbit reading game? Oh? I
had that and I learned how to read kinda with that.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
I was gonna say, it's not really an endorsement for
the game.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
All right, I'm gonna hit news Dump and let you
talk about the upcoming movies while I look up this game.
News Dump.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Opening this week and gonna give Mickey seventeen some stiff competition,
and so maybe the goose point, I'm not gonna get
to two hundred million. We have Black Bag, the latest Steven.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
So I thought, read a rabbit.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
There you go? All right, nice, I like a literation. Soderberg,
starring Michael Fassbender and Kate Blanchette hot reviews to start
eighty nine percent from the critics on roddy Te's and
eighty two on Metacritics, so it seems like that's gonna
get a decent audience in theory of this week. Also
a surprising one here Gou Nova Kane, which I believe
you drafted.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
I need this, I need this black Bag.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I think might be a Davy one. Uh. Nova Kane's
at eighty eight percent on thirty two reviews, a sixty
eight on Metacritics, so decent but not great. It's described
as an action rom com. This is the movie starring
Jack Quade and Amber mid Thunder. Also Goo coming out
this week The Day the Earth Blew Up, a new
Looney Tunes film, also getting very good reviews ninety four
(12:13):
percent eighty on Metacritic. Another Davy movie, Davi's This.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
One is blowing my mind. This one is blowing my
mind because when Davey brought this up, he's like, you
ever hear of the Looney Tunes? Yeah, back in action
fucking sucked. That had Brennan Fraser too, and Dharma from
Darman Greg.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Yeah, right right. The most important news on the release
rad Arguo is the Russo Brothers latest movie is hitting
Netflix this week, not movie theaters. Called The Electric State,
of Course, starring Millie, Bobby Brown, and Chris Pratt among
another few stars. Twenty three percent on Roddy t's a
thirty on Metacritic. That is fucking dreadful. That might be
(12:52):
up for worst movie of the year. It is just
edging out You Me and Dupree as the Russo Brothers
lowest rate of film out you mean Dupree's lower. If
that was how just barely that's a twenty percent.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
That was a good movie, that was hilarious.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
The budget for The Electric State you ask you three
hundred and twenty million dollars three hundred and twenty million dollars,
making it one of the most expensive movies ever made,
and it's hitting Netflix and getting a twenty three percent.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
So I'm looking at the cover of You, Me and
Duprex right now. Kate Hudson's like, I'm having a good time.
Owen Wilson even better time. But then Kevin Dillon, not
Kevin Dylan, Matt Dillon. I wish it was Kevin Dylan.
That might be the problem. Matt Dylan is like, what's
this guy doing here?
Speaker 1 (13:36):
The only thing I remember about you Mean and Dupree
is her walking in on him jerking off in like
a bean bag or something like that. Or was he
even in the living room on the couch or something
like that.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Okay, so I'm looking at it still. Right now, they're
sitting on a leather couch, Kate Hudson Matt Dylon looking
very serious, disgusted at the situation because at the other
end of the couch, dupree is he's over there, he's
burnt up and the couch is on fire.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Yeah, that might have ended the uh Owen Wilson run there?
What was that? What was that? Three oh four?
Speaker 2 (14:07):
You mean debris Owen Wilson had a good run after this, right,
I don't think he did, because he had wedding crashers.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
That was before that that and uh oh okay.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
So this is six. So what you're saying is that
this is what killed the well? No, I like, I
like Hall pass Hall passes.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Okay, Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Wow, anything else on these movies? This good work. John
Barenthal burn Thal, Sorry, don't correct me again, I corrected myself. Burntal.
His upcoming The Punisher special on Disney Plus is dark.
He said, I'm getting the opportunity to tell the story
(14:45):
that I think the fans deserve. It's not going to
be Punisher light. I promise you that.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
I hope it's good. I hope it's great.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
We have the potential to make one of the better
Marvel things they've made in years if you're just giving
us like an hour to eighty minutes of like an
A plus Punisher story, because that'll really sell.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
I want this to be good for that reason, so
that they just start doing this and they don't need
to focus on television shows and full length motion pictures.
If you only have an eighty minute story, tell that story.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
News demp Alan Risson said to Wired in an interview
that you wouldn't have to pay him to play Batman
in the DCU. I'm sure that his agent said, please
don't say that because we need money.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Al Richard is a gigantic human being, a hashtag my
Batman type of guy. I don't know if he's get
the acting chops to pull off the duality of Batman
and Bruce Wayne, but I would like to see him
in a batsuit. That's for fucking short. Do you think
they can cast two people as Batman.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Like one as Bruce Wayne? And then one as he's Batman,
but Drishtan is just the body. And then someone else
dubs the voice.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Oh three guys, we got a voice guy, we got
a suit guy. We got a Bruce Wayne.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
And then you have to hire a puppeteer to really
make sure that Risson is doing the right stuff with
his hands.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Uh, people like Richtin and Richer. I thought that show
was fucking terrible. You might also know him from Blue
Mountain State. He popped up in Small Vale way back
when he's well liked. That's for sure. He has the
look of what I want my brooding Batman to be.
I just don't know if he could pull off Bruce Wayne.
There's no.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
What is this text? Mac?
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Yeah? A little text exchange that James Gun shared on
x formerly Twitter. He revealed that he received the text
from Momoa the morning that he was appointed head of
DC Studios, and all Momoa said was fucking Lobo, and
Gun responded, Dude, I've said you should be Lobo for years,
No lie, And.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
So do we have them on the podcast right now?
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Mama became Lobo because of that text.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
News Dump chev Bral Jeff Bezos reportedly because Barbara Broccoli
insulted the billionaire. This is in a Wall Street published
Wall Street Journal published piece. Broccoli is quoted in telling
(17:20):
her personal friends that the Amazon executives were fucking idiots
amid dealings with the Bond franchise, and because of this,
Bezos said, I don't care what it costs get rid
of her.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
So this sounds like everyone involved as a fucking moron.
Bezos clearly a moron.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Bezos turned around in his chair, patted his white cat,
and said, I don't care whatuld it cost get rid
of her.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
If you're a name Broccoli and you didn't change your name,
you're a fucking moron. I'm gonna rule you out as well.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
I bet she was steamed.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
They're all they're all terrible. I hate everyone. I hate
Bond included.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Yeah, like for us, like we'll sit there and we'll
watch Bond movies. Some of them are really good. If
you're gonna start giving me one Bond property your year
or even more than that, I am not gonna keep up.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
And like, don't don't get Chris Nolan a director, because
then I'm gonna have to get a.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
No, no, no. That's how you pull me in. But also
don't tie Chris Nolan down. It has to be a
one movie, one off. Don't be like you go to
do trilogy unless you want to give him a lot
of money and he wants to do it. It's up
to you.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
We got Christopher Nolan and Christian Bale.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
I mean, don't threaten me with a good time. What
if they got Christopher Nolan and then they also got
Alan Richton, But then they got Christian Baale to do
the voice.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
And a puppet them the puppet Bond.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Yeah, but Alan Richton is the body of Bond.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Sure right, right?
Speaker 2 (18:46):
News deal Mac, you have here? Will the next Avatar
movie kill us? James Cameron says, Avatar Fire and Ash
will be a bit longer than The Way of Water.
That fit was three hours and twelve minutes long. And
then also via Empire, James Cameron's wife Balds for four
(19:07):
hours after he showed her Avatar Fire and Ash, and
he said she kept trying to get her shit back
together so she could tell me specific reactions, and then
she'd just start tearing up again.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
So she baled for every hour for the length of
the movie. Watch the four hour movie. Bald for four hours,
so you're telling me Avatar Fire and Ashes an eight
hour experience.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
It is an eight hour experience.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
It's gonna kill, It's gonna kill someone. There'll be one
death in that theater.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
I would imagine that I'm gonna watch the movie four hours.
I'm gonna cry for four hours, then I'm gonna scream
for four hours. Then I'm just gonna laugh for four hours.
How many more hours do I need to complete my
twenty four hour day?
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Sixteen? There?
Speaker 2 (19:50):
So I need eight more hours?
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Right? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Cry again and then sleep was shit for four hours? View, cry, scream, laugh,
cry again, shit, twenty four hours of Avatar.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
News.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Depe Brody back to the Oscars.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Yeah, Adrian Brody do, and You're Best Actor Winner twenty
twenty four is an early talks to star in Damien
Chazel's Evil Canievel biopic alongside Leonardo DiCaprio. So presumably, yeah, yeah,
presumably DiCaprio is going to be playing Canievl and Brody's
going to be playing his friend that tells him don't
(20:32):
do that, what danger is, and then he'll be nominating.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
He's doing the voice and he's poppeting Leo DiCaprio.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Then he'll get nominated for Best Supporting Actor.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Yeah, I'm hoping that Leo gets it, though having no
idea what the movie landscape is at the time of
the award show, this seems like I want Leo to win.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Brody's actually playing Evil Cadievil's motorcycle.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
From from.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Dope.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Paul Rudd, we have some early returns on his upcoming comedy's.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Yeah, so south By Southwest began last week. I have
no idea how long it last week or what that is.
We're getting a lot of early reactions to twenty twenty
five movies, to Paul Rudd movies too, that I am
very excited for, to that I own in this year's
movie Draft Death of a Unicorn, hitting theaters on March
twenty eighth, middling reviews so far seventy percent, only a
(21:27):
fifty eight on Metacritic. But it's not a movie that
I thought would be like a smash success.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
But also, how does that compare to comedies, though not
just movies in jail?
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Yeah, so that's well, that remains to be seen. It's
it's a weird movie, it's a weird premise. However, also
somewhat in the same vein weird movie Weird premise comedy Friendship,
coming out May ninth. This is the Paul Rudd and
Tim Robinson movie eighty seven percent on twenty three reviews
and eighty four on metacritics. This looks like it might
be the movie of the year. This Now, it's not
(21:59):
gonna win Best Picture. It's not gonna win Best Picture.
It could be nominated for a Mac and Goobi Vault entry,
and it could be our favorite movie of the year.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
News Depp got a trailer for the Last of Us
season two. It'll be on April thirteenth on Max.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
I don't know when the last time was that I
was just excited for a season two, Like I'm watching
seven season two right now and I'm loving it. But
because there was a fifteen don break scene between season
one and season two, I couldn't get all that jacked
up for season two. I've been thinking about the Last
of Us Season two since the minute season one ended,
and I've been purposely trying to avoid spoilers for what
(22:38):
happens in this story. So we got our full trailer finally.
I am so fucking excited for this show, and I
love that they're just like, yeah, it might be three seasons,
it might be less. Like no guarantee, We're not gonna
extend this just to extend it. They're just gonna tell
their story. So I'm really looking forward to this.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
News dep Mac, you have this full rundown here for
a show that I'm not gonna lie. I have zero
interest in.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Okay, well, good enough, then the studio, the latest from
Seth Rogan and Evan Goldberg. Of course, the writers on
super Bad, Goo's favorite comedy of all time. This show
is debuting with one hundred percent right now on roddy
Te's It's not out yet, eighty five a Metacritic. It's
coming to Apple TV in March twenty sixth. The premise
is that it follows a legacy Hollywood movie studio striving
(23:25):
to survive in a world where it is increasingly difficult
for art and business to live together. At Stars Rogan,
Katherine O'Hara, Ike Barnholtz, and Kathrin Hahn and like thirty
other people are going to have a part here and
there notable people. I am really looking forward to this
because this is going to be like right at the
end of my Apple TV subscription. So if it's good,
I'll keep it for another month. If not, I'll cancel it.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Don't get me wrong, I say all the time. And
granted I am a hypocrite about you know, wanting comedy,
thirst for comedy. I want comedy television. I want comedy movies.
This and while it's getting good reviews, doesn't it seem
a little fart sniffy. I'm not gonna say it doushing
(24:09):
it with those noises lately.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
I'm not gonna say it doesn't. I like the fact
that it's on Apple TV not HBO, though, Does that
make sense to you? Now? Apple TV has been crushing
it with their shows. HBO obviously does too, but this
feels like if it got picked up by HBO, it
would be more fart sniffy. This feels like they're letting
Apple TV have it so they can have more freedom.
(24:32):
That's just my read on it.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Also me being a hypocrite. We started this show complaining
that we weren't nominated for every podcast.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Award again, genre lists?
Speaker 2 (24:42):
What do you genre list? We can't be defined.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
We're a true utility podcast.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
We are the Desi Releifers of podcasts.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
We're the brock Holts of podcasts.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
If you were to look in the utensil drawer would
be the spork useless.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
But we might make one all star team.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
It was dumb sever in season two finale is wait, no,
isn't it next week?
Speaker 1 (25:05):
This week?
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Are you sure about?
Speaker 1 (25:06):
That's not why I thought it was nine episodes.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
I thought it was two. If it wasn't last week episode,
just that episode eight? God damn it. You're right, Okay, yep.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
So I'm hoping my dick gets blown off at the
end of the week. I'm really really looking forward, and
I don't think it'll be a case of kicking the
can down the road because there's still so much that
they have to wrap up. But I just need a
little I need like half of my dick to get
blown off at the end of the season and then
they could save the second half for season three.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Do you need it to be as exciting slash like
an amazing end like we got in season one? Like
do you needed that level or just close to that level?
Speaker 1 (25:44):
It's so different because we still don't really know anything,
but we know way more than we did in season one,
and then season one was like more of a cliffhanger.
I think we'll have some finality in this season finale,
unlike we did in season one. But I'm trying to
think like I always think to Breaking Bad. They did
it best right. Seasons three, four, and five had phenomenal
(26:05):
finales three and four were kind of its own thing.
Five is separate, but you don't like give us something
huge and then we'll still hang around for what your
final final thing is in the way that Breaking Bad
did it in their final three seasons.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
News Dope, And finally, this Friday's episode will be revealing
our march macnus for twenty twenty five Goo K two five,
What is it? Mac?
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Me? I'm telling people it's your turn. It's it's your turn.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Well, I know you're gonna have to describe the parameters
because he changed them on me.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
I did so.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Essentially, we started, uh this idea of doing mascot madness
sixty four mascots, and there's lots of mascots for lots
of different things, but we're kind of over sports mascots.
We were gonna include some Goo did a little legwork
this weekend and realize there are plenty of mascots that
we can do without having to use sports mascots just food.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
We can do just food. So we are gonna do
sixty four food mascots head to head. The strongest comes
out the end, the winner of March Macnus. Now, how
do you vote on this? How are we gonna decide
the winner? I'm thinking it's a melee. I'm thinking it's
a fight. Who wins in a fight? One of the
big things here. Can you beat Mac in a fight?
(27:24):
Keep that in mind. If a mascot can't beat Mac,
I'm not sure if it can beat its rival in
a fight. But we'll see what happens here. You don't
have to play that way. You can play by your favorite.
You can play by whichever one you find the most attractive.
It's really up to you. There are no rules in
March Macnus.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
The way I'm gonna do it and the way I'm
gonna frame it in my mind to decide who moves
on each matchup is if this character was built in
Super Smash Brothers, would it beat the other characters? Okay,
that's how I'm gonna do it.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
So you know, you can take size into account. You
can take Stanama into account. You can take in.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
You said Stanama. It sounded like enema, but you were
looking for stamina.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
I was looking for both of those words, and I
accidentally went together.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Owlunk and one endure an Enema is a big factor.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
So Tony the Tiger would be at the top of
those fucking lists, because yes, we have cereal, we have snacks,
we have fast food, we have all of these mascots,
we'll have all of their regions. We're gonna have a blast.
I'm very excited about it. I was having a good
giggle just looking at Google, so I hope you guys
enjoy that too.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Yeah, it'll be a fun, little stupid thing that we
can argue about on the internet for two weeks.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
And this should for twenty twenty five get us into
the best food podcast category, and iHeart.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
There it is. Look at us, alrighty, we got politics,
we got food
Speaker 2 (28:46):
News, dem
Mickey seventeen more like Mickey nineteen million domestic. Yeah. Eh,
the fans are getting their Dark Punisher. DC could get
a deal if they want a cheap Batman bea bezos
put out the order for chopping Bracolay Well, Avatar kill us.
What's the opposite of rudderless Paul? That's who macnu is back?
(00:23):
All right, All that and more coming up this week
on Newsdump.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
I'm saying this right now. That is the best read
you have ever done. Maybe the best headlines I've ever written,
best start to a news dump. Should we end it here?
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Yeah, that's it. Good job everyone, We'll see you next week.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Now, first, I would like to apologize for those of
you viewing on YouTube. I look like shit again. I'm sorry.
I was gonna shave. I am, I was gonna rush
this morning. My shirt is all wrinkled up, I have
avocados stain on my shirt. I'm dishoveled. I don't look
good again. So please, if you can just divert your
eyes for the next thirty to forty minutes, that'd be nice.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
You're also the type of beardman where you shave in
the morning, you get a five o'clock shadow by five o'clock.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
I actually shave it into a five o'clock shadow. I
don't use the straight to skin buzzer. I use the
it's a Gillette styler. I call it.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Okay, I use the one blade thing.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Things pretty good, like you use just a single blade,
like you're an old timey barber.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
No, it's the name of the product made by Phillips Norelka.
I believe it's called the one Blade.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
So Mac, Before we get into all of those topics,
let's get to the iHeart Podcast Awards. We are recording
on Mario Day. It's a me A Madia March tenth.
The awards, the iHeart Awards are tonight, So when you
listen to this on the eleventh, you're gonna know who won. Yeah,
but we also know this. We didn't. We didn't.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Yeah, and spice to say, we're not nominated for anything.
I don't know what the awards tale, but our parent
company is having some awards saying now is this say?
Is this being live stream? Where can the people watch
this fucking thing?
Speaker 2 (02:08):
I believe that you can hear it on the same
channel that you hear us on Sunday mornings. Talk twelve hundred.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Okay, so they are live streaming a audio recording of
this award show, and.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
I think you can probably watch it somewhere too. I
should have gotten more information, But the whole thing here
is that we're not nominated for Podcast of the Year
in that.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Category equivalent the best picture.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
I would assume. So you have normal Gossip, three Giggly Squad,
call Her Daddy, Lass Hysterical, the Telepathy Tapes, who Killed JFK,
Empire City, the untold origin story of the NYPD, and
the Good Whale.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
I had a conversation the other day about podcasts, and
I listened to almost no podcasts these days. I used
to listen to a lot of put not a lot,
but a few. Now I'm down to like zero. You
still dabble occasional, get out there in the podcast world. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
For best Comedy podcast, it is the Nicky Glazer podcast
Fly on the Wall with Dana Carvey and David Spade,
Normal Gossip, bad Friends, and call her Daddy.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
The way I consume podcasts these days with my ears
two minute videos on social media, so I don't I
don't consume the podcast itself at all.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Also not up for Best pop culture podcasts. We are
not up for best food podcasts. We dabble in food
as well.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
That's our thing. We're genre lists right.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Don't know why I couldn't figure it out earlier. It's
because we don't fall into any of these genres because
we we do music. We do news. We're in a
news dump right now. We do best kids and family podcasts,
even though on YouTube we highly recommend if you have children,
do not watch US sports podcast. We talk about no
mark constantly fiction podcast. Most of what we say is
(03:54):
a lie.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Yeah, yeah, there you go.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
That's pure fiction. Best science podcast. Remember the time that
I had that pringles can and I turned it into
a radio.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
You actually did your homework on that one. That's right.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Best ad Read. All of our adreads are so good
that they get taken out of the podcast because no
one wants to sponsor us. Best Ensemble podcast is too
enough for an ensemble.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Would we get sued by an ad company for advertising
their products, not falsely, but without permission? Like if we
wanted a Rolex AD and I started advertising for Rolex.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
No no, so we would have to say that we like,
this is not sponsored by it, But here's an ad
that we wrote like when we used to do on
the old pad or the old pod. You know, this
segment could be sponsored by three D de Rios, Sam
Goodie Hypotheticals. Yeah, best political podcast. Now, I don't think
that we qualified for twenty twenty four, but last week's
(04:51):
pod we got pretty poly charged, and that might get
us into this category for next year.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
We're off to a heart spot in twenty twenty five,
that's for sure. Twenty twenty four, we didn't We didn't
do it politics. Everyone says that about it.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
We definitely would not do well in the Best TV
and Film Podcast. That might be the weakest part of
this show.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Well, here's the thing. You know, if you're a newer
listener to the program. Here, let's say six years ago,
you used to watch a lot of television and a
lot of movies. He's had a lot of life events
in the last six wee watches any television in few movies,
so things have changed.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
We could be best travel podcast. I went to Rome
two years ago. You went to Hawaii and you picked
up that Gilligan's Island fact.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
That's our fucking number one hot selling video right there.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
It is. The demos on it aren't great, but YouTube
has it as our number one and best emerging podcast.
Not gonna lie with Kylie Kelsey. That thing sucks. Come on, guys,
is it bad? You haven't heard it?
Speaker 1 (05:51):
I thought people liked that good. We just got over
talking about how little I listened to podcasts.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
I thought that the one podcast that you might listen
to is Jason Kelce's wife.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Ason Kelsey's wife. What does she talk about?
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Well, she's not gonna lie about it, I'll tell you
that much, so she would not fall into the fiction category.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Bib Free with Kelsey. That's what they should call it.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
So jump over to X right now, jump over to Instagram,
go on your emails, and just start berating the powers
at b to get us into all of these categories
next year. There you go, news dump, what's the real
news here?
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Over at the box office, Mickey seventeen took home the
number one spot over the weekend nineteen point one domestic
fifty three worldwide, but on a budget of one hundred
and eighteen million, and you add the advertising on there.
I read that they have to make two hundred and
seventy five million to break even. That is bad news.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Yeah, they're not going to do that. I think they
might make two hundred, but they're not going to make
two seventy five.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
If they made fifty three after one weekend, I don't
think they make two hundred.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Yeah, you might be right about that, and especially what's
coming out these next couple of weeks. If you're looking
for a review of that movie, that's uh good most
recent episode and we liked it. We liked it. It's
a good movie. It's worth seeing. But that said, I
don't know if it's worth seeing in theater, so maybe
wait two months. Who knows.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
I'll tell you what. Shout out Matt Damon on Hot Ones.
If we were still doing DVDs, I think this movie
would make some money back DVD wise, sure, but sorry
to tell you this, no one's buying DVDs.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
I'm curious. I've been curious about people's feelings about this movie.
I have read that this is most like his movie
Okja Bun June Host. I haven't seen that, so maybe
I'll go and watch that this week. Maybe I'll see
how that how that flows.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Second of the box office is Brave New World Captain
America eight and a half million, one seventy six domestic,
it is going to pass First Avenger this week, needs
another eight million to get to the twenty eighth in
the MCU Last Breath at four point two million, the
Monkey four million dollars, Paddington in Peru three point eight,
and dog Man still sniffing around at three point five.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Yeah, Brave New World is in an interesting spot. If
you go and look up the domestic box office for
MCU movies, it's in a grouping of movies that aren't
that great, which I guess sort of makes sense for
that movie. It's gonna pass First Avenger this week and
put it in like thirty third or thirty second or
some shit, and then like the next five movies are
all within seven or eight million, and then there's a
(08:21):
there's a leap up. So it's gonna finish probably right
around one hundred and ninety million. It's it's probably one
of the more forgettable MCU movies, but worldwide, I think
it's still gonna make like four hundred and fifty million,
so they're still making money on these.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Captain Falcon should have used his wings falcon punch. You said,
leap up should fly if he wants to jump over
those hurdles right right?
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Maybe a doodle jump?
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Oh remember that game? Oh if we don't have it
in here? Did you see the finalist for the Video
Game Hall of Fame?
Speaker 1 (08:53):
No? I did not.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
I don't have it here. I don't even have it remembered.
I think Call of Duty four is on there? But
how is j Ball not nominated? Is jez Ball already in?
Jez Ball must already be in?
Speaker 1 (09:04):
What the fuck is jez Ball?
Speaker 2 (09:05):
You don't know what the fuck jez Ball is? No,
it's a computer game. You have two balls that bounce
around the screen, and you need to take away seventy
five percent of the screen that is there while capturing
the balls and not letting it hit your barriers as
they grow.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Seems like you're a big jezz ball guy.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
I'm a huge jezz ball guy. And as the game progresses,
you get more and more balls, but you still need
to remove seventy five percent of the screen.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
So, but I don't quite understand. So can the balls
knock off your partitions.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
As long as the partitions are still growing at the time,
like they have not reached the barriers of your rectangle. Yes,
the balls can destroy them, but once they hit the
end of the screen. They are there permanently.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Was this on a website or did this come on
PC PCs. I don't know why. I don't know it.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Cha go jezz Ball.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
You know it's a great game. Snood, bring back Snooz.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Tell me about Snood. This is a good news.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
You don't know Snood.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
No, tell me all about Snood.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Snood has had a little cannon in the center of
the screen. I hope everyone's tuning into the YouTube video
for this little cannon. And there were all sorts of faces.
There was There was like a ball shape thing, but
they had faces and different colors, and you had to
connect three in a row in order to get rid
of it. You're almost trying to get rid of rows
in the way you would tetris wise, except the screens
moving up from top to down, opposite of tetris, and
(10:23):
once you connected three, they'd fall off. But they all
had funky little faces, and your cannon could move like this,
so you could shoot your snowed face wherever you wanted
to shoot it.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
I also liked that mouse game that was a lot
like jezz Ball. You had to put cheese and capture
the mice.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
We had vastly different PCs.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
What was the game? Now everyone knows Oregon Trail, But
wasn't there also a fish game that you would play
on there? I don't know how how you win the
fish game.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Are you going back to floppy disk days?
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (10:48):
You and I are old enough that the floppy disk
drive was detached from your personal computer and you had
to have a core to connect your floppy disc to
the computer unit itself.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Oh what is that fucking rabbit reading game? Oh? I
had that and I learned how to read kinda with that.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
I was gonna say, it's not really an endorsement for
the game.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
All right, I'm gonna hit news Dump and let you
talk about the upcoming movies while I look up this game.
News Dump.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Opening this week and gonna give Mickey seventeen some stiff competition,
and so maybe the goose point, I'm not gonna get
to two hundred million. We have Black Bag, the latest Steven.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
So I thought, read a rabbit.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
There you go? All right, nice, I like a literation. Soderberg,
starring Michael Fassbender and Kate Blanchette hot reviews to start
eighty nine percent from the critics on roddy Te's and
eighty two on Metacritics, so it seems like that's gonna
get a decent audience in theory of this week. Also
a surprising one here Gou Nova Kane, which I believe
you drafted.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
I need this, I need this black Bag.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I think might be a Davy one. Uh. Nova Kane's
at eighty eight percent on thirty two reviews, a sixty
eight on Metacritics, so decent but not great. It's described
as an action rom com. This is the movie starring
Jack Quade and Amber mid Thunder. Also Goo coming out
this week The Day the Earth Blew Up, a new
Looney Tunes film, also getting very good reviews ninety four
(12:13):
percent eighty on Metacritic. Another Davy movie, Davi's This.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
One is blowing my mind. This one is blowing my
mind because when Davey brought this up, he's like, you
ever hear of the Looney Tunes? Yeah, back in action
fucking sucked. That had Brennan Fraser too, and Dharma from
Darman Greg.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Yeah, right right. The most important news on the release
rad Arguo is the Russo Brothers latest movie is hitting
Netflix this week, not movie theaters. Called The Electric State,
of Course, starring Millie, Bobby Brown, and Chris Pratt among
another few stars. Twenty three percent on Roddy t's a
thirty on Metacritic. That is fucking dreadful. That might be
(12:52):
up for worst movie of the year. It is just
edging out You Me and Dupree as the Russo Brothers
lowest rate of film out you mean Dupree's lower. If
that was how just barely that's a twenty percent.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
That was a good movie, that was hilarious.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
The budget for The Electric State you ask you three
hundred and twenty million dollars three hundred and twenty million dollars,
making it one of the most expensive movies ever made,
and it's hitting Netflix and getting a twenty three percent.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
So I'm looking at the cover of You, Me and
Duprex right now. Kate Hudson's like, I'm having a good time.
Owen Wilson even better time. But then Kevin Dillon, not
Kevin Dylan, Matt Dillon. I wish it was Kevin Dylan.
That might be the problem. Matt Dylan is like, what's
this guy doing here?
Speaker 1 (13:36):
The only thing I remember about you Mean and Dupree
is her walking in on him jerking off in like
a bean bag or something like that. Or was he
even in the living room on the couch or something
like that.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Okay, so I'm looking at it still. Right now, they're
sitting on a leather couch, Kate Hudson Matt Dylon looking
very serious, disgusted at the situation because at the other
end of the couch, dupree is he's over there, he's
burnt up and the couch is on fire.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Yeah, that might have ended the uh Owen Wilson run there?
What was that? What was that? Three oh four?
Speaker 2 (14:07):
You mean debris Owen Wilson had a good run after this, right,
I don't think he did, because he had wedding crashers.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
That was before that that and uh oh okay.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
So this is six. So what you're saying is that
this is what killed the well? No, I like, I
like Hall pass Hall passes.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Okay, Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Wow, anything else on these movies? This good work. John
Barenthal burn Thal, Sorry, don't correct me again, I corrected myself. Burntal.
His upcoming The Punisher special on Disney Plus is dark.
He said, I'm getting the opportunity to tell the story
(14:45):
that I think the fans deserve. It's not going to
be Punisher light. I promise you that.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
I hope it's good. I hope it's great.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
We have the potential to make one of the better
Marvel things they've made in years if you're just giving
us like an hour to eighty minutes of like an
A plus Punisher story, because that'll really sell.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
I want this to be good for that reason, so
that they just start doing this and they don't need
to focus on television shows and full length motion pictures.
If you only have an eighty minute story, tell that story.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
News demp Alan Risson said to Wired in an interview
that you wouldn't have to pay him to play Batman
in the DCU. I'm sure that his agent said, please
don't say that because we need money.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Al Richard is a gigantic human being, a hashtag my
Batman type of guy. I don't know if he's get
the acting chops to pull off the duality of Batman
and Bruce Wayne, but I would like to see him
in a batsuit. That's for fucking short. Do you think
they can cast two people as Batman.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Like one as Bruce Wayne? And then one as he's Batman,
but Drishtan is just the body. And then someone else
dubs the voice.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Oh three guys, we got a voice guy, we got
a suit guy. We got a Bruce Wayne.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
And then you have to hire a puppeteer to really
make sure that Risson is doing the right stuff with
his hands.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Uh, people like Richtin and Richer. I thought that show
was fucking terrible. You might also know him from Blue
Mountain State. He popped up in Small Vale way back
when he's well liked. That's for sure. He has the
look of what I want my brooding Batman to be.
I just don't know if he could pull off Bruce Wayne.
There's no.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
What is this text? Mac?
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Yeah? A little text exchange that James Gun shared on
x formerly Twitter. He revealed that he received the text
from Momoa the morning that he was appointed head of
DC Studios, and all Momoa said was fucking Lobo, and
Gun responded, Dude, I've said you should be Lobo for years,
No lie, And.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
So do we have them on the podcast right now?
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Mama became Lobo because of that text.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
News Dump chev Bral Jeff Bezos reportedly because Barbara Broccoli
insulted the billionaire. This is in a Wall Street published
Wall Street Journal published piece. Broccoli is quoted in telling
(17:20):
her personal friends that the Amazon executives were fucking idiots
amid dealings with the Bond franchise, and because of this,
Bezos said, I don't care what it costs get rid
of her.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
So this sounds like everyone involved as a fucking moron.
Bezos clearly a moron.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Bezos turned around in his chair, patted his white cat,
and said, I don't care whatuld it cost get rid
of her.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
If you're a name Broccoli and you didn't change your name,
you're a fucking moron. I'm gonna rule you out as well.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
I bet she was steamed.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
They're all they're all terrible. I hate everyone. I hate
Bond included.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Yeah, like for us, like we'll sit there and we'll
watch Bond movies. Some of them are really good. If
you're gonna start giving me one Bond property your year
or even more than that, I am not gonna keep up.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
And like, don't don't get Chris Nolan a director, because
then I'm gonna have to get a.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
No, no, no. That's how you pull me in. But also
don't tie Chris Nolan down. It has to be a
one movie, one off. Don't be like you go to
do trilogy unless you want to give him a lot
of money and he wants to do it. It's up
to you.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
We got Christopher Nolan and Christian Bale.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
I mean, don't threaten me with a good time. What
if they got Christopher Nolan and then they also got
Alan Richton, But then they got Christian Baale to do
the voice.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
And a puppet them the puppet Bond.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Yeah, but Alan Richton is the body of Bond.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Sure right, right?
Speaker 2 (18:46):
News deal Mac, you have here? Will the next Avatar
movie kill us? James Cameron says, Avatar Fire and Ash
will be a bit longer than The Way of Water.
That fit was three hours and twelve minutes long. And
then also via Empire, James Cameron's wife Balds for four
(19:07):
hours after he showed her Avatar Fire and Ash, and
he said she kept trying to get her shit back
together so she could tell me specific reactions, and then
she'd just start tearing up again.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
So she baled for every hour for the length of
the movie. Watch the four hour movie. Bald for four hours,
so you're telling me Avatar Fire and Ashes an eight
hour experience.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
It is an eight hour experience.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
It's gonna kill, It's gonna kill someone. There'll be one
death in that theater.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
I would imagine that I'm gonna watch the movie four hours.
I'm gonna cry for four hours, then I'm gonna scream
for four hours. Then I'm just gonna laugh for four hours.
How many more hours do I need to complete my
twenty four hour day?
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Sixteen? There?
Speaker 2 (19:50):
So I need eight more hours?
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Right? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Cry again and then sleep was shit for four hours? View, cry, scream, laugh,
cry again, shit, twenty four hours of Avatar.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
News.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Depe Brody back to the Oscars.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Yeah, Adrian Brody do, and You're Best Actor Winner twenty
twenty four is an early talks to star in Damien
Chazel's Evil Canievel biopic alongside Leonardo DiCaprio. So presumably, yeah, yeah,
presumably DiCaprio is going to be playing Canievl and Brody's
going to be playing his friend that tells him don't
(20:32):
do that, what danger is, and then he'll be nominating.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
He's doing the voice and he's poppeting Leo DiCaprio.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Then he'll get nominated for Best Supporting Actor.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
Yeah, I'm hoping that Leo gets it, though having no
idea what the movie landscape is at the time of
the award show, this seems like I want Leo to win.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Brody's actually playing Evil Cadievil's motorcycle.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
From from.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Dope.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Paul Rudd, we have some early returns on his upcoming comedy's.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Yeah, so south By Southwest began last week. I have
no idea how long it last week or what that is.
We're getting a lot of early reactions to twenty twenty
five movies, to Paul Rudd movies too, that I am
very excited for, to that I own in this year's
movie Draft Death of a Unicorn, hitting theaters on March
twenty eighth, middling reviews so far seventy percent, only a
(21:27):
fifty eight on Metacritic. But it's not a movie that
I thought would be like a smash success.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
But also, how does that compare to comedies, though not
just movies in jail?
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Yeah, so that's well, that remains to be seen. It's
it's a weird movie, it's a weird premise. However, also
somewhat in the same vein weird movie Weird premise comedy Friendship,
coming out May ninth. This is the Paul Rudd and
Tim Robinson movie eighty seven percent on twenty three reviews
and eighty four on metacritics. This looks like it might
be the movie of the year. This Now, it's not
(21:59):
gonna win Best Picture. It's not gonna win Best Picture.
It could be nominated for a Mac and Goobi Vault entry,
and it could be our favorite movie of the year.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
News Depp got a trailer for the Last of Us
season two. It'll be on April thirteenth on Max.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
I don't know when the last time was that I
was just excited for a season two, Like I'm watching
seven season two right now and I'm loving it. But
because there was a fifteen don break scene between season
one and season two, I couldn't get all that jacked
up for season two. I've been thinking about the Last
of Us Season two since the minute season one ended,
and I've been purposely trying to avoid spoilers for what
(22:38):
happens in this story. So we got our full trailer finally.
I am so fucking excited for this show, and I
love that they're just like, yeah, it might be three seasons,
it might be less. Like no guarantee, We're not gonna
extend this just to extend it. They're just gonna tell
their story. So I'm really looking forward to this.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
News dep Mac, you have this full rundown here for
a show that I'm not gonna lie. I have zero
interest in.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Okay, well, good enough, then the studio, the latest from
Seth Rogan and Evan Goldberg. Of course, the writers on
super Bad, Goo's favorite comedy of all time. This show
is debuting with one hundred percent right now on roddy
Te's It's not out yet, eighty five a Metacritic. It's
coming to Apple TV in March twenty sixth. The premise
is that it follows a legacy Hollywood movie studio striving
(23:25):
to survive in a world where it is increasingly difficult
for art and business to live together. At Stars Rogan,
Katherine O'Hara, Ike Barnholtz, and Kathrin Hahn and like thirty
other people are going to have a part here and
there notable people. I am really looking forward to this
because this is going to be like right at the
end of my Apple TV subscription. So if it's good,
I'll keep it for another month. If not, I'll cancel it.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Don't get me wrong, I say all the time. And
granted I am a hypocrite about you know, wanting comedy,
thirst for comedy. I want comedy television. I want comedy movies.
This and while it's getting good reviews, doesn't it seem
a little fart sniffy. I'm not gonna say it doushing
(24:09):
it with those noises lately.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
I'm not gonna say it doesn't. I like the fact
that it's on Apple TV not HBO, though, Does that
make sense to you? Now? Apple TV has been crushing
it with their shows. HBO obviously does too, but this
feels like if it got picked up by HBO, it
would be more fart sniffy. This feels like they're letting
Apple TV have it so they can have more freedom.
(24:32):
That's just my read on it.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Also me being a hypocrite. We started this show complaining
that we weren't nominated for every podcast.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Award again, genre lists?
Speaker 2 (24:42):
What do you genre list? We can't be defined.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
We're a true utility podcast.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
We are the Desi Releifers of podcasts.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
We're the brock Holts of podcasts.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
If you were to look in the utensil drawer would
be the spork useless.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
But we might make one all star team.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
It was dumb sever in season two finale is wait, no,
isn't it next week?
Speaker 1 (25:05):
This week?
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Are you sure about?
Speaker 1 (25:06):
That's not why I thought it was nine episodes.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
I thought it was two. If it wasn't last week episode,
just that episode eight? God damn it. You're right, Okay, yep.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
So I'm hoping my dick gets blown off at the
end of the week. I'm really really looking forward, and
I don't think it'll be a case of kicking the
can down the road because there's still so much that
they have to wrap up. But I just need a
little I need like half of my dick to get
blown off at the end of the season and then
they could save the second half for season three.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Do you need it to be as exciting slash like
an amazing end like we got in season one? Like
do you needed that level or just close to that level?
Speaker 1 (25:44):
It's so different because we still don't really know anything,
but we know way more than we did in season one,
and then season one was like more of a cliffhanger.
I think we'll have some finality in this season finale,
unlike we did in season one. But I'm trying to
think like I always think to Breaking Bad. They did
it best right. Seasons three, four, and five had phenomenal
(26:05):
finales three and four were kind of its own thing.
Five is separate, but you don't like give us something
huge and then we'll still hang around for what your
final final thing is in the way that Breaking Bad
did it in their final three seasons.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
News Dope, And finally, this Friday's episode will be revealing
our march macnus for twenty twenty five Goo K two five,
What is it? Mac?
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Me? I'm telling people it's your turn. It's it's your turn.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Well, I know you're gonna have to describe the parameters
because he changed them on me.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
I did so.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Essentially, we started, uh this idea of doing mascot madness
sixty four mascots, and there's lots of mascots for lots
of different things, but we're kind of over sports mascots.
We were gonna include some Goo did a little legwork
this weekend and realize there are plenty of mascots that
we can do without having to use sports mascots just food.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
We can do just food. So we are gonna do
sixty four food mascots head to head. The strongest comes
out the end, the winner of March Macnus. Now, how
do you vote on this? How are we gonna decide
the winner? I'm thinking it's a melee. I'm thinking it's
a fight. Who wins in a fight? One of the
big things here. Can you beat Mac in a fight?
(27:24):
Keep that in mind. If a mascot can't beat Mac,
I'm not sure if it can beat its rival in
a fight. But we'll see what happens here. You don't
have to play that way. You can play by your favorite.
You can play by whichever one you find the most attractive.
It's really up to you. There are no rules in
March Macnus.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
The way I'm gonna do it and the way I'm
gonna frame it in my mind to decide who moves
on each matchup is if this character was built in
Super Smash Brothers, would it beat the other characters? Okay,
that's how I'm gonna do it.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
So you know, you can take size into account. You
can take Stanama into account. You can take in.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
You said Stanama. It sounded like enema, but you were
looking for stamina.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
I was looking for both of those words, and I
accidentally went together.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Owlunk and one endure an Enema is a big factor.
Speaker 2 (28:12):
So Tony the Tiger would be at the top of
those fucking lists, because yes, we have cereal, we have snacks,
we have fast food, we have all of these mascots,
we'll have all of their regions. We're gonna have a blast.
I'm very excited about it. I was having a good
giggle just looking at Google, so I hope you guys
enjoy that too.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Yeah, it'll be a fun, little stupid thing that we
can argue about on the internet for two weeks.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
And this should for twenty twenty five get us into
the best food podcast category, and iHeart.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
There it is. Look at us, alrighty, we got politics,
we got food
Speaker 2 (28:46):
