The Sheriff is back. Stop Joker two is already dead.
Armor War, White Flag. I saw that thing. That thing
came in here while I was on the couch. That's
gonna kill me. That's real. That lives with us on Earth.

(00:26):
Witching Minute or Hour, I guess we changed the name,
and much more.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
All of that and much more coming up here on
News Damp.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
I'm back, Mac, you are back. You spent a week
down in Florida's storm ridden in Florida. You were trying
to have a nice vacation. I'll say this, if there's
any betters at home on family vacations, God time Goo
has one planned. Yeah, fadom that goes wrong.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Every single time, whether it be COVID or a natural disaster,
something's gonna happen to do. I will say this though,
first and foremost, hearts and wishes out or prayers out
to the people that were actually affected by the hurricane.
I was in Orlando. I was not affected. I was
on a Disney World resort. They prepare for the hurricanes
(01:17):
they get hit by several every year, So nothing really happened.
Being stuck in the hotel for a day or two
not the greatest with the four year old, but being
with a four year old at Disney World maybe the
greatest week of my life.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Yeah. On the flip side of that, I got hit
with a hurricane in my personal life, goo, I think
I had my identity stolen. Oh, someone apparently got a
hold of my Social Security number and applied for all
sorts of credit cards. So I was dealing with that
while you were dealing with an actual hurricane. And so
that's real frustrating. I think I got it before they
(01:51):
actually like were able to get lines of credit. But
I'll tell you what, I'm ready to fucking kill someone.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Is that the reason why you didn't give the people
a second episodelast week?
Speaker 1 (02:00):
It didn't help, didn't help things, that's for sure. I tempted.
I tried, I didn't tried, my darnness, but I was
more concerned about other things.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Ranking the parks there with Disney at the bottom. Animal Kingdom. Now,
I will say this, it does have a chance of
creeping up because of the Avatar Ride. I went on
the Avatar Ride. After I came off the Avatar Ride,
I hated the actual Earth. I wanted to go back
into that Avatar life. I think I get it now.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Please describe the Avatar ride for us.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
You hop on something that is like a motorcycle or
they like really strap you in there, and then yeah,
you're flying a dragon wherever the fuck they're called.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Oh the thing where you connect to your.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Yeah, your ponytail. I didn't have a ponytail, so I
had to put something else in there, but it was
something else. Then you go Magic Kingdom. Now that might
be different if you're a bit younger. I will say
that I appreciate the attention to detail that is in
all of these parks, but Magic Kingdom certainly has that
extra ill to it. Epcot is great. I was also
(03:02):
there during the Food and Wine Festival, so nice cheap
eats all along the street. Also, my son really into
Frozen right now. That's where a lot of the frozen
stuff is. And then we go to Hollywood Studios. That
is my favorite one. And I will forever love the
Aerosmith Ride.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Wow, how about that? So is the Aerosmith Ride basically
just like they play Aerosmith music on a roller coaster.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Well you go through, it's like a fake studio. Stephen
Tyler yells about you know, hey, our fans need to
get to the destination. And then you hop in the
back of a limo and it just woo dipsy dude dunkaru.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Do you get to watch uh? Is it crying the
music video with his daughter?
Speaker 2 (03:44):
No, you don't get to watch that one. But then
we go to this on social media. Mac, I was
voted captain of the show, so moving forward, I will
wear my seat with pride.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Yeah, that a sticky note that you have ripped into
a sea.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
That would be correct. I cannot find the scissors earlier,
so this is my sea. I am captain Goonow. I'll
be running a tighter ship. Having said that, our fair Yes.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
I voted for you twice, once with my regular account,
once with my burner account, so I'm happy for you.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Now. Having said that, I'm going to run a tighter ship, Mac,
We're putting this news dump out very very late on
a Goosesday slash maybe on a Wednesday. So the tighter
ship not that tight.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Listen, this is this is vacation season for us as
Spooky Boys.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Late October is the fucking vacation season and also mac
Next week, the twenty third of October, we'll be back
at Idle handscraft Dale's eighty nine Commercial Street in Malden,
Massachusetts with our next Trivia and it is a big one.
It's always sunny in Philadelphia. Trivia one of my favorite shows.
(04:59):
Calm all time.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Yeah, I I'm so far behind now, I think of
like fucking five seasons behind. I gotta I gotta get
caught up. I just I'll tell you I lost the steam.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
The season opener from last year is like classic, Sonny.
It feels like that. I mean, they have those every
once in a while. The consistency isn't always there, but
every once in a while you feel like this is
season seven, season eight, Sonny.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
All right, I love that.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Now let's get to the actual news news damp. We
get box Office coming at you on a Tuesday night
terrifyer three, when's the box office? Clown on clown Crime
eighteen point three million domestic also worldwide, because it's only
in the US.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
I did make the clown connection. That that tickles me.
I uh listen, I generally like horror movies. I consider
myself a horror movie fan. However, these aren't the types
them into them, not into the straight slashers, just for
the hell of it, the gore. So I don't think
I'll ever see any Terrifier movies, but I'm happy they're
(06:05):
doing well.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
I've never seen a Terrifier movie, and I did notice
the other day on Rotten Tomatoes. These do really well
with the people that see it. The critics that see
these movies. Yeah, I asked Dorc, because Dorc has at
least seen a couple, I'm like, are these any good?
And they said, it's exactly what you think.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Yeah, And that's exactly why I haven't seen it. I don't,
you know, it doesn't bother me. If someone really loves
these movies, they're just not my speed. I think it's
it's high class comedy that it made more than double
what Joker did, and it is unbelievable that a movie
about a killer clown absolutely smushed Joker too at the
(06:43):
box office. When Joker two's budget was two hundred million,
what would you estimate the budget for Terrifier three thirty million.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Thirty bucks. They went to the dollar store and just
picked up a bunch of shit. So finishing first with
Terrifier two was the Wild Bit at thirteen and a half.
As of right now, it looks like there is a
Wild Roebit sequel in the works. I guess it's a
three part book, maybe.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
All right.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
It's also it's hit streaming this week, so if you
want to watch it early, you can rent it at
home as well.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Finishing third and pretty much tied for third because it's
this and Beetlejuice Beatle Juice. Michael Keaton, once again taking
on the Joker. Joker has broken a record in its
second week, the highest box office drop ever for a
comic book movie, if you want to put that in
quotes first off, because I'm not even sure if it
is an eighty one percent drop to seven point zero
(07:38):
five million domestically in its second weekend.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
I spoke to a couple people over the last couple
of weeks after we had seen the movie, and essentially
I wouldn't say that people were excited to go see
this movie, but they're like, oh, I like the first one.
I was kind of looking forward to this one. And
after I told them sort of the deal, they're like, oh,
I will not be spending my money on that.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Joker two is right now, the possibility it could lose
two hundred million in its theatrical run, and I read
it is it WB that did this, Warner Brothers.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
I read that they're already like four billion in debt,
so this is not gonna Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
And they also they scrapped movies that people actually want
to see, with Wiley Coyote and Batgirl, and those movies
could be the biggest piles of shit, but we don't know.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
It's Yeah, it's almost frustrating when when a movie like
this is this big a budget and it's this bad
and they scrap those movies that had I mean, after
you had heard about them, it sort of builds some excitement.
But release the fucking Wiley Wiley Coyote cut, you.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Know, I don't think they get the tax right off
that they want if they then release it.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Christ they should have rode off fucking Yoker tool.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Yeah, especially since Yolker two cost a lot of money
to make. Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice I just said, tied with Joker. This.
Beetles Juice is fifth weekend at the box office. Via
E News Michael Keaton said that hit me down to
make Beatlejuice three, I'd do those films every year. I'd
like a like twenty minutes every year. Just give me
(09:13):
like a Beatlejuice special every year. I don't need a
full theatrical movie, but twenty minutes would be nice.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
I think I've I've reached my appetite for Beetlejuice. I
the first one's a classic. I really enjoyed this past
one a little more than you did. I'm not sure
I want another Beatle Juice story ever again.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
But if you're gonna do Beatlejuice hijinks much like the
animated series, and I guess I could just watch the
animated series. But you know, fifteen minutes like a nice
little YouTube short. By the way, you know that YouTube
shorts are moving to three minutes as opposed to the
one minute. That's not very short.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
I mean it's still shorter than most songs though, So.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
That's a lot of songs now are roughly two and
a half minutes.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
That's true. We're good. We're getting back to the good
old days.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
That's yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
I mean, you load it a Beatles album up, it's
like twenty five songs, but they're all two and a
half minutes long.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Yeah, and then you go to like led Zeppelin, it's
eight songs that are four and a half hours long.
No issue with it. I'm I don't mind busting out
the lead every once in a while. Mac Transformers one
has passed one hundred million at the box office. Still
kind of bombing, not doing very well. Eighty five million
box budget, so not great.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
I don't know if it's bombing, it's just certainly not
performing maybe the way they would have liked.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
And Saturday Night, the SNL first episode movie that just
came out this past weekend, made three point four million
in its opening weekend, getting pretty good write ups. I
will see that.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Soon, yeah, getting very strong reviews.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Hitting the box office this weekend. Most likely to win
at the box office is Smile Too, and it is
projected to make anywhere from twenty to forty million.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
I think I'm going to see the first watch the
first one this week and potentially go see this in theaters.
The trailer looks pretty good and the lead in this
is Naomi Scott, who would we would know as j
from the live action Aladdin. She also played the Pink
Power Ranger and the Power Ranger remake from a few
years ago.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
News damp Don Chetle, when asked about the status of
Armor Wars, he said, you can find out and let
me know. I'm not sure where anything is right now.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
I gotta say I did not have an appetite at
all for Agatha All Along, and I have enjoyed four
of the five episodes. So as as much as I
don't want Armor Wars or don Cheetle, I think if
you're if you're having shows like Agatha All Along, you
there's probably space for Armor Wars.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
I don't know if there is. They need to really
pick and choose and not just make everything fair enough.
News Dump Daniel Cruel was asked if he'll appear as
Baron Zimo in Thunderbolts ASTERIX, and he said too Yahoo,
next question.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Yeah, I don't know how to read this. I don't
know if he's annoyed he's not in it, or if
he's like, doesn't want to screw the pouch and reveal
a a big reveal.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
That's my guame.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
I can't get a read on it.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
I think he's in it, but he also he wants
to keep the surprise and he you know, he wants
to keep on being in these movies. He doesn't want
to be a spoiler, so respect that. No, it's damp.
Got another Is this the final trailer or just some images?
But we got Venom frog and this thing, this thing
(12:27):
lives on Earth.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
I think we have the screening next week. Did we
get an email about Venom?
Speaker 2 (12:32):
I haven't been checking my emails. People are not happy
about that, but I have not been checking my emails.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
I think this movie is gonna be fucking terrible because
Tom Hardy is the man that's not going to get
the depths of Joker or Madam Webb. But there's a
really good chance that this is that tier right above it.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
I guess a rumor that I've seen is that this
might be the introduction slash like diving into null.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Well, yeah, so the snull is is behind or related
to the all these symbiotes and also the sword that
we saw. What's his face? Uh? John Snow? Get at
the John Snow.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
That's the character that I'm thinking of.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
So I this is tough because I know that like
the Venom versus kind of dead after this movie, but
also the symbiotes are tied pretty directly into some things
that are supposedly gonna happen in the MCU.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Well, because a rumor is is that Spider Man four
might be Spider Man versus all the Symbiotes and null
and whatnot.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
M h, I don't that doesn't really get me going goo, It's.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Called Spider Man calling black Goo.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
And an alternate universe is this podcast is titled black
and Goo.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Right, right, we have our casting for a green lantern
or just lanterns. Right, that's the HBO. So that's what
they're gonna call it.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Yeah, lands. I don't know if it's gonna be like
a mini series or if they're planning multiple seasons or what.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
But I'll also say this is that off of the
back of Penguin, which we'll talk about in a little bit.
I'm excited for anything DC is doing right now. Kyle
Chandler not to be confused with the former Patriots tight end,
he'll be playing Hal Jordan and Aaron Pierre, not to
be confused with the great leadoff hitter of a different
name is John Stewart. Not to be confused with the
(14:21):
comedian and daily show host.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Uh yeah, I like these. Aaron Pierre's playing the younger,
more brash John Stuart. Kyle Chandler's playing his sort of
mentor how Jordan, So the age thing kind of works there.
Like you said, the direction DC is going in other
than Peacemaker season two, I'm pretty much in on.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
I mean, Kyle Chandler is a big fucking dude, but
he had frying pans for hands, couldn't catch a touchdown
if he was wide open and you slapped him with
a banjo in the ass.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
It's funny how in the nineties and two thousands. I'm
sure it existed before that, but when we started really
getting into football, how unathletic most quarterbacks and tight ends were,
and then all of a sudden one day they're like, oh,
we could be athletic too.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
I think about Kyle Brady so often, it's so weird
how often I think about Jaguar's great. Don't get me wrong.
The man could.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Block, Yeah, sure fucking could.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
That's about it, though, news dump. The John Witt Universe
is growing question mark because, in a graphic put out
by Culture Crave on X, pretty much everything here is
like potential potential. It depends on how good certain things are.
So First off, John Wick five is in the works,
(15:38):
and it could potentially take place before his death, which
would make sense because although I wouldn't mind a zombie
John Wick, that'd be kind of cool now that I
think about it.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Uh, this is not great as far as I'm concerned.
So that spinoff series, the Continental no appetite four. There's
some appetite for this Ballery project.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
And I finished my list before you keep going.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Oh you had stopped as if well, I wanted you
to talk.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
I wanted you to chuckle about my John Wick zombie thing,
and then I'd get back to my list. Nope, go ahead,
all right, So Ballerina two, but this depends on the
success of the first one, and off of that, Chad
Stahelski had to reshoot a significant chunk of Ballerina after
Lionsgate did not like Len Wiseman's work for the film.
The reshots the reshoots took around two to three months.
(16:29):
Not a good sign.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
That's gotta be. Seventy five percent of the movie was reshoots.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Then we go to a Donnie Yen spinoff. I believe
his character's name is Kine. I wouldn't mind that as
a show. Actually, I did like his character in John
Wick four. Then we go to an Under the High
Table I believe show and that would not feature Wick,
but that sounds like the other show, The Continental, that
they had with uh cock. Then we go to a
(16:54):
John Wick anime series that would show up some stuff
that they wouldn't be able to do in the movies.
That does sound pretty interesting as well. And then a
triple A developed game.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Uh yeah, none of none of this gets me going
at all.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
You don't like give me of the John Wick movies though,
you're not the right audience.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
I like the first John Wick movie. Hmm. I like
the first thirty minutes of the third John Wick movie.
The game maybe gets to me most excited. You could
do a GTA type of world, but again this is
not just me. There was no appetite for The Continental,
which is directly tied into John Wick in Like I said,
I think there's some appetite for Ballerina, but some of
(17:33):
it is just because annad Armis is in it, So
I don't I think after Ballerina probably disappoints at the
box office, still be like, oh yeah, we were not
doing it.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
It's from the John Wick universe. Though, what's the beginning
of it from John Wick, something like that from the
something like that from the World of John Wick.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
That's not good, though, News Damp every traveled. We'll star
in the live action Voltron film for Amazon. Him can
tell to just do anything nerdy possible.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
I know so little about Vultron other than the Vultron
Mecca thing. I don't know what else you would call it.
So I don't know any of the characters. I don't
know who Henry Cavill will be playing. I love Henry Cavill, though,
so I'm in on.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
This between this What's the Hammer show that he's also
doing what's that culture? No, he's already done the Witch
or he's already left the Witcher. Though. If we ever
get asked to do the Dork Hall of Fame once again,
Henry Cavill.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Has to go in, right, I agree totally.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
He's done everything possible to get in.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Yeah. I think he just like loves coludbooks and.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
He loves computers, he loves games. News Damp, but a
Detective Pikachu sequel is in the works. Reportedly, it'll be
called The Great Detective Pikachu.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Best News of the Week, You Detective Pikachu criminally underrated?
Speaker 2 (18:55):
What year is that from? Though?
Speaker 1 (18:57):
I really enjoyed it.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
It was nice. I liked it.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
I think that just playing around in that Pokemon world
is fun, fun as fuck. It's why we all liked
the games. I think there's I'm all in on the
live action Pokemon movie.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
So first off, the first two thirds of that Pikachu
movie was awesome. The last third fucking nonsense. I love
the look of the live action Pokemon. I will agree
with you there. I'm like, would they bring back Ryan Reynolds?
You think.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Maybe it may cost too much?
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Now I will also you just mentioned I love the
world of Pokemon, which made me then think of the
second theme song for the anime series that I love
for some reason. It's it's not as good as the
original one.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Not as good as the original, but pretty good.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
We all live at a Pokemon world. I want to
be the greatest master of the man that was right
after he lost like in the Elite eight, right.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Yeah, Verdoril. And then I gotta say, I don't know
if there's there's, there's, there's three words. It gets me
more jacked up, more than I will travel across the land.
That just puts me in I will travel And it's
by the way that guy that sings that song, he's
been living.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
He's awesoight. Yeah, yeah, he's the best. I love watching
the all of these people that sang the theme songs
to all these shows, like the guy that did Ducktails
also has a great video thing going on too. Yeah.
News Down got a trailer kinda more of a teaser
for Invincible season three. It'll be out on February sixth,
(20:38):
twenty twenty five, and in the teaser it was said
that there will be no mid season break this year.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Oh boy, that's a show that really crashed and burned
for me. I was so excited and in looking forward
to so much of what that show was gonna do.
And that was what four years ago, three years ago.
Then it took another two year to get to half
of season two, and then we took like a fucking
four month break to get to the second half. Listen,
it's still good. It's better than most things. It's just
(21:10):
I don't know. I think they kind of lost it.
They lost the spark, they didn't capture it quickly enough.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
News damn feeling away. He said that Blade Runner twenty
forty nine was the riskiest film of his career. I
thought to make a sequel to my favorite film is
a beautiful way to end my career.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
I get what he's saying. And a lot of dialogue
has been around sequels with Joker two that could have
been pretty bad, and it turned out being, in my opinion,
way better than the first movie. The first movie is
a cult classic, and there's a whole generation that grew
up on that movie, that loved that movie. Blade Runner
(21:48):
twenty forty nine is a fucking masterpiece. The first one
I get. I understand why it's liked. Blade Runner twenty
forty nine is a fucking masterpiece.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Want to hear a possibly riskier move o news dem
He in a way told Screen Daily, I think that
he wants to make a silent film, saying I love dialogue,
but not always in cinema. I hope one day I
will be able to make a film that will not
(22:16):
use spoken language. And before you say anything, Mac, I
think that he might be the only person that could
pull this off.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Yeah. So first things first, terrible idea. Yeah, second point
to be made here. If there was a director that
was going to make this succeed it would be Denis
Villeneuve because this man is a master of visuals, and
of course who's the cinematographer we talk about for the
last couple of movies. Yeah, that obviously helps as well.
But this man paints beautiful movies. Y all, his movies
(22:49):
look unbelievable. So if there was a way for a
solid film to be successful in twenty twenty five or
twenty thirty, I think it would be with Denis Villaneuve
behind the lene.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Well, I've said in the past that I think John
Wick three would have been better if there was no dialogue.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
There you go, that's actually not a bad those types
of movies less dialogue for.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Zero dialogue, just straight action throughout. Yeah, cool colors. You
know what I actually did earlier. This has nothing to
do with Danny villanuway, but a filmmaker, a well known filmmaker,
John Carpenter is amazing on letterbox D. Do you follow him?
Speaker 1 (23:26):
No, I do not.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
He had thirty one pages of movie reviews. I read
through all of them, like hundreds of movies.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Yeah, what were your some of your favorite little I think.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
My favorite thing about it is that he loves the
Friday the thirteenth franchise.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Ah, okay, all right, it did rip off him though,
so maybe that's why.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Well he even has like in the thing like a
ripoff of Halloween, so and so it's like, like, that's
pretty good. He also he reviews his own movies and
he's very very critical of himself.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
I Actually one of my favorite things is we talked
about this at some point. Frank Darrabaut, the director of
Shashank Redemption, the movie that finished number one of the
Dork Top fifty. His biggest regret is that he made
the hole in the wall to circular. So I love
like the hindsight from directors with like universally beloved movies,
(24:18):
like what really eats at them, what they wish they
could go back and change. I mean, George Lucas did
it with his movies, but most people aren't psychopaths like that.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Actually, my favorite review that he had this is a
movie that you like more than me, and that's Halloween two.
So him and Deborah Hill they wrote the movie, and
he's like, this is a complete piece of shit. This
movie fucking stinks and it ruins the mythos of the
first movie, which, by the way, we'll get into our
topic for the end of the week. But Okay, it
ruins like this is a franchise ender, the way that
(24:49):
they have this reveal in the movie with it being
his sister.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Yeah, I understand that part of it. But the setting
of that movie is so creepy, and that's why that
movie works for me. Additionally, it could have been a
franchise under and that they shouldn't have made any more
halloweens after Halloween two, so that's also part of it.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
He also said he was very drunk while writing that script,
very drunk.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Drunk off the success of the first.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Movie alcohol as well.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Well.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Sure, John Carpenter just lives a life man is He
plays video games, writes movie reviews, and just watches WNBA news.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Dumb.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Speaking of another lot, Christopher Nolan's next film is set
to release in twenty twenty six July seventeenth. This is
via Deadline. Matt Damon is in talks to star in
the movie. The film will start filming filming Viilman Failming
filming twenty twenty five. Nolan wrote the script he is
returning to Universal and actually when he was shopping the
(25:51):
script around, or shopping the movie around, he refused to
take any offers from WB.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
How about that? So it's just jaded.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
He spites, spites. He still hates them for what they
did to Tenant, even though they gave him a bunch
of money after me and like, please come back to us.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
And it's not good. It's not a good movie. It's
not a bad movie.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
You ever hear of this though, I don't know if
you've ever realized this is that a tenant backwards tenant
and it's like race Car or Arizona. It was dump.
DreamWorks has turned twenty five years old. And just like
(26:31):
my other favorite animated studio, which was the Blueth movies
of the mid eighties that were helped out by Amblin,
another cartoon studio that came to be from someone who
hated Disney and needed to get back at Disney. That's
what DreamWorks did, I believe. I can't think of the
guy's name, but he was one of the guys who
was supposed to be the CEO of Disney. He got
(26:51):
passed over, so instead he made DreamWorks and rack I
ask you this twenty five years what is your favorite
DreamWorks movie animated movie? Mind you?
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Uh? Maybe Shrek too.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
I was gonna say Shrek too.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Off the cuff. I feel like it's Shrek two.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
I just thought of is al Pacino recently said that
he died from covid okay, and he said there's no afterlife.
What made me think of this is that al Pacino
has a Shrek phone case. And what I think is
that he died and they said to him, you can
(27:30):
come up to heaven, but you got to leave that
Shrek phone case bind and he said, put me back
on earth.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
To be fair, yes, Albacino does look dead, so you
might be telling the truth.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Someone can fact check me. I don't even know if
that's a real thing, but sure, if it happened, it happened.
The man loves Shrek. I'm not sure if it's Shrek
won or Shrek two, but it's definitely what I.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Don't think he doesn't think it's like grandkid got him
the case or something like that.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
He has a Shrek phone case, you have to love shit.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
I think I think it was a gift from one
of his grandchildren and like that that's why he uses it.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
What do you get in that?
Speaker 1 (28:05):
The fact that he's had the same phone for so
long is what is actually impressive.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Who ah new's done? Rina Menudo. We just got episode
four of The Penguin and yeah, maybe the best of
the bunch.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Krist Oh, my lord, Kristin Miliatti, I'll tell you, if
she doesn't win an Emmy for this role, something's gone wrong.
She's fucking unbelievable as Sophia fl Cone and especially in
this episode, you see shades of different uh stages of
her life. Yeah, and she plays them extremely well. I'm
(28:41):
just like, I can't get enough of Christine Milia Kristin
Miliatti as Sophia fel Cone to the point where I
want her to still be in play in this universe
going for like her character is fucking awesome.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
She has to come across Selena Kyle, like we have
to their sisters in this universe. They need to figure
things out with this. So, like, I was a little
disappointed that they didn't bring up Maria Kyle in this episode,
Selena's mother who was also killed by John Tutureau. Oh
by the way, uh John Tudoro and not that against
Mark Strong, but John Tudorou Carrot signed facing over Mark Strong.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
I'm a little confused as how they couldn't get.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
John to their schedule back.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Yeah, I guess so. Yeah, this episode you would have thought,
because it's a flashback episode or seventy five percent of it,
as you would have thought it kind of would have
halted what's going on in the season. But man, it
was so good, so good, it worked. It just worked.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
They're building this world so well, like not only the
Penguin show, but the world of Gotham around Batman.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
I forgot it, forgot Batman's in this universe these last
couple episodes. It's unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
I also like how they spent episode three on his
little sidekick there too.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Yes, no, they've done it. They've done a very good
job fleshing out the backstories of these characters so far.
So hopefully these final four are action packed. And this
past episode pits Sophia versus Oz, so there's gonna be
that's that's gonna come to a head.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
I love Oz in this show, like he is just
such a backstabbing, sniffling like anything that he can do
to just take one step ahead or just not get
in trouble, not get killed, he's doing it. I love it.
News dumb that's gonna say.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
I also liked how in the somewhat flashback episode, he's
like a little less fat, doesn't limp as much like
they did a nice job with the little touches like that.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Hey, witcha warm man, Agatha all along it. Did you
watch the episode that was released yesterday? Any good?
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Yesterday?
Speaker 2 (30:41):
Yeah? There was an episode released yesterday.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
I think they released No, I don't think they did.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
I think they're ramping things up for Halloween maybe.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Oh okay, So if there was an episode six, I
missed it. Episode five uh gave us a reveal that
a lot of fans had speculated on the internet. Yes,
I don't want to spoil it for anyone that hasn't
gotten there yet, but I enjoyed it. It's shaping up
to be like this show is actually going to be
something of substance, that the conclusion is actually gonna matter.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Did you like that song? Was it an episode three?
Like the rock band when they did the Witch's Path?
Speaker 1 (31:15):
That was episode four?
Speaker 2 (31:16):
I thought that was four? Okay?
Speaker 1 (31:18):
And four I thought was the hot garbage?
Speaker 2 (31:21):
I have. How many episodes have we had so far?
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Five? Unless unless there was a sixth one?
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Okay, claim I've watched all five episodes. I've fallen asleep
during eighty percent of them.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Now, did you like the reveal in episode five?
Speaker 2 (31:37):
I had to wake up and then watch it again, okay,
and then after I already knew it was coming, So now.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Yeah, okay, fair enough. I like I like the I
like the color, I like the look. I just I
like I like where it's trending. I just don't know
if they're going to stick to landing.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
I'm just I don't care about witches and this is
so witch heavy. This show about witches is two witches.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Take spooky boys, now telling me you're out on witches.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
When we were the spooky boys, the Spooky Boys were
the fucking gruesome to smell the fucking Spooky Boys news
dumb and finally, Mack, have you seen this Aaron Hernandez show?
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Can't do it. I've seen clips on the internet. It's
so cringey. I can't. I'll never watch it. I'll want
I will. I refuse to bring myself to watch this.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
Fucking Every clip that I see feels like it is
a theater nerd putting on what he thinks football is.
They wear pads, right, find the biggest pads possible they
ever wore pads that big in the NFL since the
nineteen seventies.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
I've seen like the three clips that have kind of
gone viral, and god.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
Is Belichick, Craft, Gronk and Hernandez. You think he was
in bound? I disagree. I think he was six feet
out of bound.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Scaret Wilson toe tap.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
With his giant it fucking pads on news dump. All right,
that's just at the end of the week for a
real episode. What I'm thinking, in honor of Joker to
falle Adu is that we will do sequels that harnished
the legacy of the original movie.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Yeah, we could do the Wild Robot two. We should
do that.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
I want to do this first, Okay, fair while Joker
two is so hot before.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
It gets pulled from theaters.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Before the people say no more Joker. All right, So
that'll do it here
The Sheriff is back. Stop Joker two is already dead.
Armor War, White Flag. I saw that thing. That thing
came in here while I was on the couch. That's
gonna kill me. That's real. That lives with us on Earth.
John Wicks Growing Family King Nerd Henry Cavill continues down
the nerd path, Denevel and News, Risky Business, Next Nolan movie, Minuto, Penguino,
(00:26):
Witching Minute or Hour, I guess we changed the name,
and much more.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
All of that and much more coming up here on
News Damp.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
I'm back, Mac, you are back. You spent a week
down in Florida's storm ridden in Florida. You were trying
to have a nice vacation. I'll say this, if there's
any betters at home on family vacations, God time Goo
has one planned. Yeah, fadom that goes wrong.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Every single time, whether it be COVID or a natural disaster,
something's gonna happen to do. I will say this though,
first and foremost, hearts and wishes out or prayers out
to the people that were actually affected by the hurricane.
I was in Orlando. I was not affected. I was
on a Disney World resort. They prepare for the hurricanes
(01:17):
they get hit by several every year, So nothing really happened.
Being stuck in the hotel for a day or two
not the greatest with the four year old, but being
with a four year old at Disney World maybe the
greatest week of my life.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Yeah. On the flip side of that, I got hit
with a hurricane in my personal life, goo, I think
I had my identity stolen. Oh, someone apparently got a
hold of my Social Security number and applied for all
sorts of credit cards. So I was dealing with that
while you were dealing with an actual hurricane. And so
that's real frustrating. I think I got it before they
(01:51):
actually like were able to get lines of credit. But
I'll tell you what, I'm ready to fucking kill someone.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Is that the reason why you didn't give the people
a second episodelast week?
Speaker 1 (02:00):
It didn't help, didn't help things, that's for sure. I tempted.
I tried, I didn't tried, my darnness, but I was
more concerned about other things.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Ranking the parks there with Disney at the bottom. Animal Kingdom. Now,
I will say this, it does have a chance of
creeping up because of the Avatar Ride. I went on
the Avatar Ride. After I came off the Avatar Ride,
I hated the actual Earth. I wanted to go back
into that Avatar life. I think I get it now.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Please describe the Avatar ride for us.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
You hop on something that is like a motorcycle or
they like really strap you in there, and then yeah,
you're flying a dragon wherever the fuck they're called.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Oh the thing where you connect to your.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Yeah, your ponytail. I didn't have a ponytail, so I
had to put something else in there, but it was
something else. Then you go Magic Kingdom. Now that might
be different if you're a bit younger. I will say
that I appreciate the attention to detail that is in
all of these parks, but Magic Kingdom certainly has that
extra ill to it. Epcot is great. I was also
(03:02):
there during the Food and Wine Festival, so nice cheap
eats all along the street. Also, my son really into
Frozen right now. That's where a lot of the frozen
stuff is. And then we go to Hollywood Studios. That
is my favorite one. And I will forever love the
Aerosmith Ride.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Wow, how about that? So is the Aerosmith Ride basically
just like they play Aerosmith music on a roller coaster.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Well you go through, it's like a fake studio. Stephen
Tyler yells about you know, hey, our fans need to
get to the destination. And then you hop in the
back of a limo and it just woo dipsy dude dunkaru.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Do you get to watch uh? Is it crying the
music video with his daughter?
Speaker 2 (03:44):
No, you don't get to watch that one. But then
we go to this on social media. Mac, I was
voted captain of the show, so moving forward, I will
wear my seat with pride.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Yeah, that a sticky note that you have ripped into
a sea.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
That would be correct. I cannot find the scissors earlier,
so this is my sea. I am captain Goonow. I'll
be running a tighter ship. Having said that, our fair Yes.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
I voted for you twice, once with my regular account,
once with my burner account, so I'm happy for you.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Now. Having said that, I'm going to run a tighter ship, Mac,
We're putting this news dump out very very late on
a Goosesday slash maybe on a Wednesday. So the tighter
ship not that tight.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Listen, this is this is vacation season for us as
Spooky Boys.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Late October is the fucking vacation season and also mac
Next week, the twenty third of October, we'll be back
at Idle handscraft Dale's eighty nine Commercial Street in Malden,
Massachusetts with our next Trivia and it is a big one.
It's always sunny in Philadelphia. Trivia one of my favorite shows.
(04:59):
Calm all time.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Yeah, I I'm so far behind now, I think of
like fucking five seasons behind. I gotta I gotta get
caught up. I just I'll tell you I lost the steam.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
The season opener from last year is like classic, Sonny.
It feels like that. I mean, they have those every
once in a while. The consistency isn't always there, but
every once in a while you feel like this is
season seven, season eight, Sonny.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
All right, I love that.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Now let's get to the actual news news damp. We
get box Office coming at you on a Tuesday night
terrifyer three, when's the box office? Clown on clown Crime
eighteen point three million domestic also worldwide, because it's only
in the US.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
I did make the clown connection. That that tickles me.
I uh listen, I generally like horror movies. I consider
myself a horror movie fan. However, these aren't the types
them into them, not into the straight slashers, just for
the hell of it, the gore. So I don't think
I'll ever see any Terrifier movies, but I'm happy they're
(06:05):
doing well.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
I've never seen a Terrifier movie, and I did notice
the other day on Rotten Tomatoes. These do really well
with the people that see it. The critics that see
these movies. Yeah, I asked Dorc, because Dorc has at
least seen a couple, I'm like, are these any good?
And they said, it's exactly what you think.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Yeah, And that's exactly why I haven't seen it. I don't,
you know, it doesn't bother me. If someone really loves
these movies, they're just not my speed. I think it's
it's high class comedy that it made more than double
what Joker did, and it is unbelievable that a movie
about a killer clown absolutely smushed Joker too at the
(06:43):
box office. When Joker two's budget was two hundred million,
what would you estimate the budget for Terrifier three thirty million.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Thirty bucks. They went to the dollar store and just
picked up a bunch of shit. So finishing first with
Terrifier two was the Wild Bit at thirteen and a half.
As of right now, it looks like there is a
Wild Roebit sequel in the works. I guess it's a
three part book, maybe.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
All right.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
It's also it's hit streaming this week, so if you
want to watch it early, you can rent it at
home as well.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Finishing third and pretty much tied for third because it's
this and Beetlejuice Beatle Juice. Michael Keaton, once again taking
on the Joker. Joker has broken a record in its
second week, the highest box office drop ever for a
comic book movie, if you want to put that in
quotes first off, because I'm not even sure if it
is an eighty one percent drop to seven point zero
(07:38):
five million domestically in its second weekend.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
I spoke to a couple people over the last couple
of weeks after we had seen the movie, and essentially
I wouldn't say that people were excited to go see
this movie, but they're like, oh, I like the first one.
I was kind of looking forward to this one. And
after I told them sort of the deal, they're like, oh,
I will not be spending my money on that.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Joker two is right now, the possibility it could lose
two hundred million in its theatrical run, and I read
it is it WB that did this, Warner Brothers.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
I read that they're already like four billion in debt,
so this is not gonna Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
And they also they scrapped movies that people actually want
to see, with Wiley Coyote and Batgirl, and those movies
could be the biggest piles of shit, but we don't know.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
It's Yeah, it's almost frustrating when when a movie like
this is this big a budget and it's this bad
and they scrap those movies that had I mean, after
you had heard about them, it sort of builds some excitement.
But release the fucking Wiley Wiley Coyote cut, you.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Know, I don't think they get the tax right off
that they want if they then release it.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Christ they should have rode off fucking Yoker tool.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Yeah, especially since Yolker two cost a lot of money
to make. Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice I just said, tied with Joker. This.
Beetles Juice is fifth weekend at the box office. Via
E News Michael Keaton said that hit me down to
make Beatlejuice three, I'd do those films every year. I'd
like a like twenty minutes every year. Just give me
(09:13):
like a Beatlejuice special every year. I don't need a
full theatrical movie, but twenty minutes would be nice.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
I think I've I've reached my appetite for Beetlejuice. I
the first one's a classic. I really enjoyed this past
one a little more than you did. I'm not sure
I want another Beatle Juice story ever again.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
But if you're gonna do Beatlejuice hijinks much like the
animated series, and I guess I could just watch the
animated series. But you know, fifteen minutes like a nice
little YouTube short. By the way, you know that YouTube
shorts are moving to three minutes as opposed to the
one minute. That's not very short.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
I mean it's still shorter than most songs though, So.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
That's a lot of songs now are roughly two and
a half minutes.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
That's true. We're good. We're getting back to the good
old days.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
That's yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
I mean, you load it a Beatles album up, it's
like twenty five songs, but they're all two and a
half minutes long.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Yeah, and then you go to like led Zeppelin, it's
eight songs that are four and a half hours long.
No issue with it. I'm I don't mind busting out
the lead every once in a while. Mac Transformers one
has passed one hundred million at the box office. Still
kind of bombing, not doing very well. Eighty five million
box budget, so not great.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
I don't know if it's bombing, it's just certainly not
performing maybe the way they would have liked.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
And Saturday Night, the SNL first episode movie that just
came out this past weekend, made three point four million
in its opening weekend, getting pretty good write ups. I
will see that.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Soon, yeah, getting very strong reviews.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Hitting the box office this weekend. Most likely to win
at the box office is Smile Too, and it is
projected to make anywhere from twenty to forty million.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
I think I'm going to see the first watch the
first one this week and potentially go see this in theaters.
The trailer looks pretty good and the lead in this
is Naomi Scott, who would we would know as j
from the live action Aladdin. She also played the Pink
Power Ranger and the Power Ranger remake from a few
years ago.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
News damp Don Chetle, when asked about the status of
Armor Wars, he said, you can find out and let
me know. I'm not sure where anything is right now.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
I gotta say I did not have an appetite at
all for Agatha All Along, and I have enjoyed four
of the five episodes. So as as much as I
don't want Armor Wars or don Cheetle, I think if
you're if you're having shows like Agatha All Along, you
there's probably space for Armor Wars.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
I don't know if there is. They need to really
pick and choose and not just make everything fair enough.
News Dump Daniel Cruel was asked if he'll appear as
Baron Zimo in Thunderbolts ASTERIX, and he said too Yahoo,
next question.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Yeah, I don't know how to read this. I don't
know if he's annoyed he's not in it, or if
he's like, doesn't want to screw the pouch and reveal
a a big reveal.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
That's my guame.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
I can't get a read on it.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
I think he's in it, but he also he wants
to keep the surprise and he you know, he wants
to keep on being in these movies. He doesn't want
to be a spoiler, so respect that. No, it's damp.
Got another Is this the final trailer or just some images?
But we got Venom frog and this thing, this thing
(12:27):
lives on Earth.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
I think we have the screening next week. Did we
get an email about Venom?
Speaker 2 (12:32):
I haven't been checking my emails. People are not happy
about that, but I have not been checking my emails.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
I think this movie is gonna be fucking terrible because
Tom Hardy is the man that's not going to get
the depths of Joker or Madam Webb. But there's a
really good chance that this is that tier right above it.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
I guess a rumor that I've seen is that this
might be the introduction slash like diving into null.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Well, yeah, so the snull is is behind or related
to the all these symbiotes and also the sword that
we saw. What's his face? Uh? John Snow? Get at
the John Snow.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
That's the character that I'm thinking of.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
So I this is tough because I know that like
the Venom versus kind of dead after this movie, but
also the symbiotes are tied pretty directly into some things
that are supposedly gonna happen in the MCU.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Well, because a rumor is is that Spider Man four
might be Spider Man versus all the Symbiotes and null
and whatnot.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
M h, I don't that doesn't really get me going goo, It's.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Called Spider Man calling black Goo.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
And an alternate universe is this podcast is titled black
and Goo.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Right, right, we have our casting for a green lantern
or just lanterns. Right, that's the HBO. So that's what
they're gonna call it.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Yeah, lands. I don't know if it's gonna be like
a mini series or if they're planning multiple seasons or what.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
But I'll also say this is that off of the
back of Penguin, which we'll talk about in a little bit.
I'm excited for anything DC is doing right now. Kyle
Chandler not to be confused with the former Patriots tight end,
he'll be playing Hal Jordan and Aaron Pierre, not to
be confused with the great leadoff hitter of a different
name is John Stewart. Not to be confused with the
(14:21):
comedian and daily show host.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Uh yeah, I like these. Aaron Pierre's playing the younger,
more brash John Stuart. Kyle Chandler's playing his sort of
mentor how Jordan, So the age thing kind of works there.
Like you said, the direction DC is going in other
than Peacemaker season two, I'm pretty much in on.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
I mean, Kyle Chandler is a big fucking dude, but
he had frying pans for hands, couldn't catch a touchdown
if he was wide open and you slapped him with
a banjo in the ass.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
It's funny how in the nineties and two thousands. I'm
sure it existed before that, but when we started really
getting into football, how unathletic most quarterbacks and tight ends were,
and then all of a sudden one day they're like, oh,
we could be athletic too.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
I think about Kyle Brady so often, it's so weird
how often I think about Jaguar's great. Don't get me wrong.
The man could.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Block, Yeah, sure fucking could.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
That's about it, though, news dump. The John Witt Universe
is growing question mark because, in a graphic put out
by Culture Crave on X, pretty much everything here is
like potential potential. It depends on how good certain things are.
So First off, John Wick five is in the works,
(15:38):
and it could potentially take place before his death, which
would make sense because although I wouldn't mind a zombie
John Wick, that'd be kind of cool now that I
think about it.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Uh, this is not great as far as I'm concerned.
So that spinoff series, the Continental no appetite four. There's
some appetite for this Ballery project.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
And I finished my list before you keep going.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Oh you had stopped as if well, I wanted you
to talk.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
I wanted you to chuckle about my John Wick zombie thing,
and then I'd get back to my list. Nope, go ahead,
all right, So Ballerina two, but this depends on the
success of the first one, and off of that, Chad
Stahelski had to reshoot a significant chunk of Ballerina after
Lionsgate did not like Len Wiseman's work for the film.
The reshots the reshoots took around two to three months.
(16:29):
Not a good sign.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
That's gotta be. Seventy five percent of the movie was reshoots.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Then we go to a Donnie Yen spinoff. I believe
his character's name is Kine. I wouldn't mind that as
a show. Actually, I did like his character in John
Wick four. Then we go to an Under the High
Table I believe show and that would not feature Wick,
but that sounds like the other show, The Continental, that
they had with uh cock. Then we go to a
(16:54):
John Wick anime series that would show up some stuff
that they wouldn't be able to do in the movies.
That does sound pretty interesting as well. And then a
triple A developed game.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Uh yeah, none of none of this gets me going
at all.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
You don't like give me of the John Wick movies though,
you're not the right audience.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
I like the first John Wick movie. Hmm. I like
the first thirty minutes of the third John Wick movie.
The game maybe gets to me most excited. You could
do a GTA type of world, but again this is
not just me. There was no appetite for The Continental,
which is directly tied into John Wick in Like I said,
I think there's some appetite for Ballerina, but some of
(17:33):
it is just because annad Armis is in it, So
I don't I think after Ballerina probably disappoints at the
box office, still be like, oh yeah, we were not
doing it.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
It's from the John Wick universe. Though, what's the beginning
of it from John Wick, something like that from the
something like that from the World of John Wick.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
That's not good, though, News Damp every traveled. We'll star
in the live action Voltron film for Amazon. Him can
tell to just do anything nerdy possible.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
I know so little about Vultron other than the Vultron
Mecca thing. I don't know what else you would call it.
So I don't know any of the characters. I don't
know who Henry Cavill will be playing. I love Henry Cavill, though,
so I'm in on.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
This between this What's the Hammer show that he's also
doing what's that culture? No, he's already done the Witch
or he's already left the Witcher. Though. If we ever
get asked to do the Dork Hall of Fame once again,
Henry Cavill.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Has to go in, right, I agree totally.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
He's done everything possible to get in.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Yeah. I think he just like loves coludbooks and.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
He loves computers, he loves games. News Damp, but a
Detective Pikachu sequel is in the works. Reportedly, it'll be
called The Great Detective Pikachu.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Best News of the Week, You Detective Pikachu criminally underrated?
Speaker 2 (18:55):
What year is that from? Though?
Speaker 1 (18:57):
I really enjoyed it.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
It was nice. I liked it.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
I think that just playing around in that Pokemon world
is fun, fun as fuck. It's why we all liked
the games. I think there's I'm all in on the
live action Pokemon movie.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
So first off, the first two thirds of that Pikachu
movie was awesome. The last third fucking nonsense. I love
the look of the live action Pokemon. I will agree
with you there. I'm like, would they bring back Ryan Reynolds?
You think.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Maybe it may cost too much?
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Now I will also you just mentioned I love the
world of Pokemon, which made me then think of the
second theme song for the anime series that I love
for some reason. It's it's not as good as the
original one.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Not as good as the original, but pretty good.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
We all live at a Pokemon world. I want to
be the greatest master of the man that was right
after he lost like in the Elite eight, right.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Yeah, Verdoril. And then I gotta say, I don't know
if there's there's, there's, there's three words. It gets me
more jacked up, more than I will travel across the land.
That just puts me in I will travel And it's
by the way that guy that sings that song, he's
been living.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
He's awesoight. Yeah, yeah, he's the best. I love watching
the all of these people that sang the theme songs
to all these shows, like the guy that did Ducktails
also has a great video thing going on too. Yeah.
News Down got a trailer kinda more of a teaser
for Invincible season three. It'll be out on February sixth,
(20:38):
twenty twenty five, and in the teaser it was said
that there will be no mid season break this year.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Oh boy, that's a show that really crashed and burned
for me. I was so excited and in looking forward
to so much of what that show was gonna do.
And that was what four years ago, three years ago.
Then it took another two year to get to half
of season two, and then we took like a fucking
four month break to get to the second half. Listen,
it's still good. It's better than most things. It's just
(21:10):
I don't know. I think they kind of lost it.
They lost the spark, they didn't capture it quickly enough.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
News damn feeling away. He said that Blade Runner twenty
forty nine was the riskiest film of his career. I
thought to make a sequel to my favorite film is
a beautiful way to end my career.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
I get what he's saying. And a lot of dialogue
has been around sequels with Joker two that could have
been pretty bad, and it turned out being, in my opinion,
way better than the first movie. The first movie is
a cult classic, and there's a whole generation that grew
up on that movie, that loved that movie. Blade Runner
(21:48):
twenty forty nine is a fucking masterpiece. The first one
I get. I understand why it's liked. Blade Runner twenty
forty nine is a fucking masterpiece.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Want to hear a possibly riskier move o news dem
He in a way told Screen Daily, I think that
he wants to make a silent film, saying I love dialogue,
but not always in cinema. I hope one day I
will be able to make a film that will not
(22:16):
use spoken language. And before you say anything, Mac, I
think that he might be the only person that could
pull this off.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Yeah. So first things first, terrible idea. Yeah, second point
to be made here. If there was a director that
was going to make this succeed it would be Denis
Villeneuve because this man is a master of visuals, and
of course who's the cinematographer we talk about for the
last couple of movies. Yeah, that obviously helps as well.
But this man paints beautiful movies. Y all, his movies
(22:49):
look unbelievable. So if there was a way for a
solid film to be successful in twenty twenty five or
twenty thirty, I think it would be with Denis Villaneuve
behind the lene.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Well, I've said in the past that I think John
Wick three would have been better if there was no dialogue.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
There you go, that's actually not a bad those types
of movies less dialogue for.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Zero dialogue, just straight action throughout. Yeah, cool colors. You
know what I actually did earlier. This has nothing to
do with Danny villanuway, but a filmmaker, a well known filmmaker,
John Carpenter is amazing on letterbox D. Do you follow him?
Speaker 1 (23:26):
No, I do not.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
He had thirty one pages of movie reviews. I read
through all of them, like hundreds of movies.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Yeah, what were your some of your favorite little I think.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
My favorite thing about it is that he loves the
Friday the thirteenth franchise.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Ah, okay, all right, it did rip off him though,
so maybe that's why.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Well he even has like in the thing like a
ripoff of Halloween, so and so it's like, like, that's
pretty good. He also he reviews his own movies and
he's very very critical of himself.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
I Actually one of my favorite things is we talked
about this at some point. Frank Darrabaut, the director of
Shashank Redemption, the movie that finished number one of the
Dork Top fifty. His biggest regret is that he made
the hole in the wall to circular. So I love
like the hindsight from directors with like universally beloved movies,
(24:18):
like what really eats at them, what they wish they
could go back and change. I mean, George Lucas did
it with his movies, but most people aren't psychopaths like that.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Actually, my favorite review that he had this is a
movie that you like more than me, and that's Halloween two.
So him and Deborah Hill they wrote the movie, and
he's like, this is a complete piece of shit. This
movie fucking stinks and it ruins the mythos of the
first movie, which, by the way, we'll get into our
topic for the end of the week. But Okay, it
ruins like this is a franchise ender, the way that
(24:49):
they have this reveal in the movie with it being
his sister.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Yeah, I understand that part of it. But the setting
of that movie is so creepy, and that's why that
movie works for me. Additionally, it could have been a
franchise under and that they shouldn't have made any more
halloweens after Halloween two, so that's also part of it.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
He also said he was very drunk while writing that script,
very drunk.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Drunk off the success of the first.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Movie alcohol as well.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Well.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Sure, John Carpenter just lives a life man is He
plays video games, writes movie reviews, and just watches WNBA news.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Dumb.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Speaking of another lot, Christopher Nolan's next film is set
to release in twenty twenty six July seventeenth. This is
via Deadline. Matt Damon is in talks to star in
the movie. The film will start filming filming Viilman Failming
filming twenty twenty five. Nolan wrote the script he is
returning to Universal and actually when he was shopping the
(25:51):
script around, or shopping the movie around, he refused to
take any offers from WB.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
How about that? So it's just jaded.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
He spites, spites. He still hates them for what they
did to Tenant, even though they gave him a bunch
of money after me and like, please come back to us.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
And it's not good. It's not a good movie. It's
not a bad movie.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
You ever hear of this though, I don't know if
you've ever realized this is that a tenant backwards tenant
and it's like race Car or Arizona. It was dump.
DreamWorks has turned twenty five years old. And just like
(26:31):
my other favorite animated studio, which was the Blueth movies
of the mid eighties that were helped out by Amblin,
another cartoon studio that came to be from someone who
hated Disney and needed to get back at Disney. That's
what DreamWorks did, I believe. I can't think of the
guy's name, but he was one of the guys who
was supposed to be the CEO of Disney. He got
(26:51):
passed over, so instead he made DreamWorks and rack I
ask you this twenty five years what is your favorite
DreamWorks movie animated movie? Mind you?
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Uh? Maybe Shrek too.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
I was gonna say Shrek too.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Off the cuff. I feel like it's Shrek two.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
I just thought of is al Pacino recently said that
he died from covid okay, and he said there's no afterlife.
What made me think of this is that al Pacino
has a Shrek phone case. And what I think is
that he died and they said to him, you can
(27:30):
come up to heaven, but you got to leave that
Shrek phone case bind and he said, put me back
on earth.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
To be fair, yes, Albacino does look dead, so you
might be telling the truth.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Someone can fact check me. I don't even know if
that's a real thing, but sure, if it happened, it happened.
The man loves Shrek. I'm not sure if it's Shrek
won or Shrek two, but it's definitely what I.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Don't think he doesn't think it's like grandkid got him
the case or something like that.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
He has a Shrek phone case, you have to love shit.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
I think I think it was a gift from one
of his grandchildren and like that that's why he uses it.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
What do you get in that?
Speaker 1 (28:05):
The fact that he's had the same phone for so
long is what is actually impressive.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
Who ah new's done? Rina Menudo. We just got episode
four of The Penguin and yeah, maybe the best of
the bunch.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Krist Oh, my lord, Kristin Miliatti, I'll tell you, if
she doesn't win an Emmy for this role, something's gone wrong.
She's fucking unbelievable as Sophia fl Cone and especially in
this episode, you see shades of different uh stages of
her life. Yeah, and she plays them extremely well. I'm
(28:41):
just like, I can't get enough of Christine Milia Kristin
Miliatti as Sophia fel Cone to the point where I
want her to still be in play in this universe
going for like her character is fucking awesome.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
She has to come across Selena Kyle, like we have
to their sisters in this universe. They need to figure
things out with this. So, like, I was a little
disappointed that they didn't bring up Maria Kyle in this episode,
Selena's mother who was also killed by John Tutureau. Oh
by the way, uh John Tudoro and not that against
Mark Strong, but John Tudorou Carrot signed facing over Mark Strong.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
I'm a little confused as how they couldn't get.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
John to their schedule back.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Yeah, I guess so. Yeah, this episode you would have thought,
because it's a flashback episode or seventy five percent of it,
as you would have thought it kind of would have
halted what's going on in the season. But man, it
was so good, so good, it worked. It just worked.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
They're building this world so well, like not only the
Penguin show, but the world of Gotham around Batman.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
I forgot it, forgot Batman's in this universe these last
couple episodes. It's unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
I also like how they spent episode three on his
little sidekick there too.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Yes, no, they've done it. They've done a very good
job fleshing out the backstories of these characters so far.
So hopefully these final four are action packed. And this
past episode pits Sophia versus Oz, so there's gonna be
that's that's gonna come to a head.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
I love Oz in this show, like he is just
such a backstabbing, sniffling like anything that he can do
to just take one step ahead or just not get
in trouble, not get killed, he's doing it. I love it.
News dumb that's gonna say.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
I also liked how in the somewhat flashback episode, he's
like a little less fat, doesn't limp as much like
they did a nice job with the little touches like that.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Hey, witcha warm man, Agatha all along it. Did you
watch the episode that was released yesterday? Any good?
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Yesterday?
Speaker 2 (30:41):
Yeah? There was an episode released yesterday.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
I think they released No, I don't think they did.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
I think they're ramping things up for Halloween maybe.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
Oh okay, So if there was an episode six, I
missed it. Episode five uh gave us a reveal that
a lot of fans had speculated on the internet. Yes,
I don't want to spoil it for anyone that hasn't
gotten there yet, but I enjoyed it. It's shaping up
to be like this show is actually going to be
something of substance, that the conclusion is actually gonna matter.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Did you like that song? Was it an episode three?
Like the rock band when they did the Witch's Path?
Speaker 1 (31:15):
That was episode four?
Speaker 2 (31:16):
I thought that was four? Okay?
Speaker 1 (31:18):
And four I thought was the hot garbage?
Speaker 2 (31:21):
I have. How many episodes have we had so far?
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Five? Unless unless there was a sixth one?
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Okay, claim I've watched all five episodes. I've fallen asleep
during eighty percent of them.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Now, did you like the reveal in episode five?
Speaker 2 (31:37):
I had to wake up and then watch it again, okay,
and then after I already knew it was coming, So now.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Yeah, okay, fair enough. I like I like the I
like the color, I like the look. I just I
like I like where it's trending. I just don't know
if they're going to stick to landing.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
I'm just I don't care about witches and this is
so witch heavy. This show about witches is two witches.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Take spooky boys, now telling me you're out on witches.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
When we were the spooky boys, the Spooky Boys were
the fucking gruesome to smell the fucking Spooky Boys news
dumb and finally, Mack, have you seen this Aaron Hernandez show?
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Can't do it. I've seen clips on the internet. It's
so cringey. I can't. I'll never watch it. I'll want
I will. I refuse to bring myself to watch this.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
Fucking Every clip that I see feels like it is
a theater nerd putting on what he thinks football is.
They wear pads, right, find the biggest pads possible they
ever wore pads that big in the NFL since the
nineteen seventies.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
I've seen like the three clips that have kind of
gone viral, and god.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
Is Belichick, Craft, Gronk and Hernandez. You think he was
in bound? I disagree. I think he was six feet
out of bound.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Scaret Wilson toe tap.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
With his giant it fucking pads on news dump. All right,
that's just at the end of the week for a
real episode. What I'm thinking, in honor of Joker to
falle Adu is that we will do sequels that harnished
the legacy of the original movie.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Yeah, we could do the Wild Robot two. We should
do that.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
I want to do this first, Okay, fair while Joker
two is so hot before.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
It gets pulled from theaters.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Before the people say no more Joker. All right, So
that'll do it here
