(00:00):
News dump. Wellity, wellity,wellity, look where we are once again?
Yep, who's back in uh hisHarry Potter room underneath the stairs,
and uh he's even less centered thanlast time. I will say this is
that? Right now? I thinkis the perfect time for you know,
(00:20):
the show is kind of getting stale, so let's introduce our new co host.
Hi back, what's going on?Come on now? Who has a
fucking a hand puppet? Who isthat puppet supposed to be? I don't
know. You can call me Ralphthough, hold on, hold on,
hold on a second, Hold onone fucking second. Go on, Are
(00:45):
you in a closet full of puppetsright now? I don't want to say
yes or no. I'm not oftenperturbed by many things, but a closet
full of puppets might might might,uh might do it? I don't.
I wouldn't care for that. Well, then I wouldn't ask questions. I
don't want answers to Can you seemy mouth moving? Yeah? Yeah,
(01:07):
I'm a regular Jeff Dunham. Yeah, you're uh, you're really crushing this
right now. I'm really losing it. I'll break out another puppet next week.
News done. Oh boy, Macdid you hear about this? Doctor
Pepper officially better than Pepsi? Sothis is congratulations. Doctor Pepper is my
(01:29):
favorite soda on the planet. Ireally only like two sodas. I like
Doctor Pepper and I like Mountain Dew. I don't really care for much of
anything else. This is really interestingto me. Go it has passed pepsi
for the number two spot. CocaCola is still number one. I don't
really get the coke and pepsi thing. It's like fine, I don't like
either. I don't like either.They're fine to me. I don't understand
(01:52):
why they're so popera that screams nineteenfifties. We have no other flavors here.
Yeah, like a sprite is waybetter than Coker Pepper. Yeah right,
Like I love or in soda,I love grape soda. Same.
I'll drink a root beer. I'lldrink a doctor Pepper. You know what
needs to be brought back though,Doctor Pepper ten it's just for men.
(02:14):
Well. I like the twenty threeflavors of Dodor Pepper, always have,
always will. Jerry Dodr Pepper alsovery delightful. It's really not that big
of a deal though, because Pepsiis the distributor for Doctor Pepper, although
I don't think they own Dr Pepperbecause the para company of Doctor Pepper is
curing Doctor Pepper, not Pepsi Co. Which is very interesting. But maybe
(02:35):
they just own the distributing rights.I don't really know how all that shit
works. But again, Dr Pepperis delicious and arguably the most unique soda
out there. So much so good. Listen to this fun fact I have
prepared. I'm all ears. AlthoughDoctor Pepper has similarities to Cola, the
American Food and Drug Administration that's theFDA for the for yous at home,
(02:58):
has ruled that Doctor Pepper is nota cult nor a root beer which apparently
distinguished as distinguishments they make, nora fruit flavored soft drink. Rather,
Doctor Pepper is said to be ina category of its own kind called pepper
soda. That's right, pepper sodanamed for the brand Dr Pepper. I
was gonna say, flavor wise,is there pepper in it? Probably not?
(03:20):
No, I don't think so.It could be one of the twenty
three who knows. The other softdrinks in this category are basically the copies
of Doctor Pepper like pib and whatnot. But it has it's so unique,
it has created a category of itsown. I'm all for this and I'm
so happy. It looks like TikTokhas played a big part in this as
well. But just once again,I don't understand the fascination in general with
the colas. Yeah, I agreewith you, totally agree with you.
(03:43):
And I get as an alcohol drinker, I get it mixes well with Captain
and cochl of alcohols. Yeah.But other than that, I really don't
get the appeal of a Coca PEPSIactually, outside of a cola. Can
you name me a soda that mixeswell with alcohol? Hear me out this
one. I'm gonna I'm all earsright now, absolutely no sense, but
(04:04):
try it, trust me. Mountaindew and rum specifically Mountain doing Captains,
but I'm sure most RUMs like Captainswould work like that. Mountain dew in
Captain Morgan's somehow works really well.I have no idea why. Oh ginger
rail too, yeah, Jambo Gingeryeah? Jo? And now what was
(04:24):
what was my go to drink backin our college days? Oh? So
you well, we could pretend itwas college days. We were out of
college. I'm a doctor. Iwent, I'm a doctor. Guys.
He used to come to my apartmenton Sunday afternoons for football with a twelve
pack. Was it mug or Aand W? It was either mug or
it was grape soda. I wouldswitch it up. Okay, it was
(04:45):
never barks though, No, No, it was mostly rup beer sometimes grape.
Show to you, right and atseven fifty of what was it?
Was it rum? You were thecaptains? Yeah, I'm a simple man.
That was you would you would finishthe seven fifty usually and there would
be plenty of soda leftover. Sothat tells you where good was at.
(05:08):
In twenty thirteen, one night,I thought I had no legs news done
in other pop culture news. Scientistssay they're close to a breakthrough drug that
will regenerate human teeth. They arealready successful with animal trials. Human trials
(05:28):
are on their way in a fewmonths, and they aim to have this
commercially available in twenty thirty mac.Are you excited about having new teeth?
This is an incredible step forward inlike science. It truly is like they
always talk about one of the thingsyou don't get more of or things that
go away. Like real valuable isyour teeth. You know, you only
(05:50):
get two sets. Some people don'teven get that many. They was talking
about the enamel wearing a way.Once you lose that teeth is fucking gone.
This is it's unbelievable. I dothink it's going to cost a million
dollars to get a regenerated tooth asit stands. I have a little knowledge
on this because when I was incollege, my cousin was the victim of
(06:12):
a baroom brawl. Barroom brawl whereshe took a bottle of the face full
beer bottle of the face was nota part of the fight. Someone threw
it, it missed the person theywere aiming. I hit my cousin square
in the face, and for herto get teeth replaced, which she needed,
it was gonna be about four thousandper tooth to get screwed into her
(06:32):
head, basically, and that's aftersome other costs. So dental work is
extremely expensive and most often a lotof things aren't covered because it's considered cosmetic
and not necessary. Otherwise they'll justgive you like fake teeth. So this
is actually a massive development for humans. It really is two things number one,
(06:55):
I look forward to my future,my shark like future of just lose
teeth, and then another one justkind of grows in immediately. I'm not
too worried about it anymore. Andthen also I had the pausibility I almost
signed up for this. Would yourealize, like, would you notice if
I showed up for this podcast oneday and I had veneers. I think
(07:15):
it's hard to not notice when someonegets veneers because they're so perfect, and
they they're a little bulgy. Youcan always you can usually like pick up
on the upper lips a little pushedout more because the bulge as opposed to
my chick lit teeth. Those arealso very expensive. And do you know
what they do for veneers by theway, Yeah, they got to take
the teeth out and then like grindinto the bone, right, they shave
(07:36):
your teeth down into like little arrowsfangs fangs, and then they fit the
veneers on there. So once youget veneers, I mean, they're probably
gonna last almost forever. You're stuckwith it. I've made a huge mistake
not doing this. I should havedone this. I could have had fangs
for a while. Who doesn't hatethe dentist though that just sucks. The
(08:01):
setup in here is not great forme. Mac. We've got a trailer
four Venom the last dance, andthe only thing that sticks out to me
is everything looks pretty generic. Isa big old venom horse. Yeah,
they're trying to have fun with thisthis property, and it's just you know,
Tom Hardy is good as Eddie brockVenom. Everything surrounding him so far
(08:24):
in this universe has been pretty shit. It almost looks like they're gonna try
and wreckcon the symbiote getting into theMCU too, Like they're gonna like they're
taking their ball and going home,like fuck you, Sony, Come on
now, Like nothing in here looksat all intriguing, but we saw the
first two, so we're gonna beseeing the third. One horse thing looks
(08:46):
fucking crazy. Would you ride that? Have you ever ridden a horse?
I don't know if I've I have. If I did, it was like
way back in the day as achild. Yeah, they used to do
that shit. Or you could likeride an elephant. What everyone's what certain
zoo things? You know you alwaysfeel so bad for the elephant. Oh
yeah, all that shit is likeonce you remove yourself from that, like
(09:07):
the spectacle of it, and youget a little older, like that's kind
of fucked up. Yeah, yeah, news doubt, Oh, lots of
Avengers news. Mac, I willlet you do this, okay. So
this is via thhr and Deadline,compiled by a culture crave on Twitter slash
x, so credit to them forhelping us out. The next Avengers movie
(09:31):
may feature over sixty MCU characters.This is an ensemble instead of a handful
of characters leading the team. Amongthose potentially we'll see sort of at at
the forefront of this is Thor Loki, Hulk, Doctor Strange, Nebula,
and Shang Chi. So that's that. Seems like they're leaning on in the
(09:52):
old instead of the new, whichI don't know if that's the direction they
really want to go. Michael Waldronhas turned into the latest script, so
there's progress there. Production is setto begin next year. We still don't
know the main villain. I thinkthe whole King thing has really thrown this
thrown this up in the air.However, Marvel has a million villains.
They will figure it out. ButI do think that they have been in
(10:15):
a bit of a limbo since thewhole king stuff has gone awry. Sean
Levy their top choice to direct.He is Deadpool, right, yes,
dead and I believe he's already turnedit down once in the past. Okay,
all right, Well, it soundslike they must like the cut of
this Deadpool Wolverine movie so much thatthey're like, hey, we really want
you to do this, but theyare going to meet with other directors in
(10:37):
the meantime. I to me,the director is good of a job,
as the Russo brothers did with InfinityWar an Endgame. To me, the
director doesn't matter a ton for it. I don't know they were four for
four. I agree. I agreewith you. I don't think it matters
a ton because at that point everything'salready Let me let me tell you why
(11:00):
I think it matters. Can Ihave the floor for a second. Sure.
So, I think what this tellsus is that Wolverine might have a
bigger role in this movie. Ithink it tells you that something significant is
gonna happen in dead Pool Wolverine.Much like how you know with the Avengers
movies that came out, Captain Americathe biggest character in there, and you
have the Captain America directors on thatmovie. I think that this would Deadpool
(11:24):
would be in it, but Wolverinewould have a bigger role. Yeah.
I think as much as we havewanted Deadpool and Wolverine to sort of stand
on its own so it doesn't haveto connect to other stuff, it's looking
like more and more by the endof Deadpool and Wolverine we're gonna have a
pretty clear direction. And again,Fantastic four is early next year, and
(11:46):
that's gonna be another jumping off point. So like the anticipation level for Deadpool
Wolverine is just so far through theroof news depth, farthest reach I've ever
had to do. We have someBeatles casting mac or some Beatles casting rumors.
Rumor has it, this, ofcourse, is the Sam Mendez four
(12:09):
pack of Beatles. According to screenrant, Harris Dickinson as John Lennon,
Miss Scale as Paul McCartney. Itmakes sense why they would cast him.
They have the same first names.It'll be easy on set. You say
Paul, He'll always respond. BarryKey Hogan as Ringo Star maybe the most
interesting of the bunch. I don'tknow, man, how do you say
(12:33):
it? I would have said KeganKegan I like better, and then Charlie
Rowe as George Harrison. I onlyknow mescal and Keegan. Barry Keegan dating
Sabrina Carpenter right now, by theway, that's hot, that's meat.
He starred in her most recent musicvideo. Who else did he fuck the
(12:54):
ground? Did he have sexual intercoursewith the ground? I think think there's
there's substantial evidence out there to saythat she saw that movie and then pretty
soon after they started dating. Sothat tells you all you need to tell
all you know about that relationship.I have no idea who Harris Dickinson is.
I have no idea who Charlie Roweis. I'm actually I I I
(13:16):
haven't even seen Paul mezcal in stuff. I just know he's been in a
lot of stuff the last couple ofyears. I would almost prefer faceless people
to take on these roles. Idon't want preconceived characters in my head,
and this is a lot. Totry to do this with the Beatles is
almost a fruitless endeavor, Like there'sgonna be detractors no matter what, like
(13:39):
people like I mean, don't getme wrong that that movie wasn't very good.
I enjoyed it, but it wasn'tvery good. The uh the Beatles,
Yeah movie, but that got thatyou get doubled down on it because
the Beatles are so great. Youhave extra eyes on stuff. So Sam
Mendez obviously has as a good trackrecord. So if anyone can do it,
(14:01):
maybe it's sim It's just it's it'shard to get super excited about this
project. I can't even imagine himpulling this off. Ooo Octopus's Garden under
the Sea. Hopefully by the theend of the project, we're all will
be shutting Hey Jude. Is therethe end of the sentence, No is
(14:26):
anyone of the movie named Jude.We'll just be exclaiming Hey Jude, and
then Jude will pop up and say, by the way, I've been to
to Paul McCartney shows, and hecloses with hey Jude. Every time saying
no no naa for like five straightminutes at the end is amazing. It's
always the best news. Did youwatch the clip of the Boys that was
(14:50):
released? I did, I did, so. This seems like very early
on first or second episode, everyone'sgonna know that Butcher has no time left
to live, so that's gonna beless of a secret than we thought.
Ryan is older, noticeably older.He's like you could tell he's starting to
hit sort of pubertyes. So it'llbe interesting to see how that plays out,
(15:11):
if this does go the fucking five, six, seven seasons or whatever
they're gonna do. Now. Anthonystarrs Homelander is so fun. He's the
best. I'll tell you. Weinvented the plemonade for Jesse Plemons, but
Anthony Starr and Homelander every time he'son the screen steals the scene. Every
single time. News down, wegot an update here. Beck Bennett's has
(15:35):
been cast in the Superman movie,written by James Gunn, directed by James
Gunn. I like the idea ofBeck Bennett using James Gunn comedy. I
think you and I are both bigBen Bennett guy. I'm a bigger Beck
Bennett fan than most, not asmuch as Kyle Mooney, like I love
Kyle Mooney Moore, and also Ithink Kyle Mooney likes Beck Bennett more than
I do as well. But BeckBennett has been one of the few bright
(16:00):
spots on SNL over the last eightto ten years. One of my favorite
characters that he does is he playsa giant baby in a in an adult
man's body. He nails it.I think he's legit funny. I love
his faces to a beck bettet's good. This is a good casting. I
don't know what he's playing, butI'm happy's involved it is damn. Also
(16:21):
got an update for the Last ofUs via Deadline. Season two will have
seven episode, season three a significantlylarger number of episodes, and then season
four will potentially happen this. I'mnot gonna say worrisome, because that's the
wrong word to use. I'm justhaving trouble finding the word. Obviously,
Season one was fucking spectacular, amazingseason or the second game is set like
(16:45):
eight or ten years after the firstgame something like that, maybe even a
little less time. Maybe seven yearsis the number. But there's time between
the first and second game, andI'm sure the show is gonna play with
that. But to only have sevenepisodes, I don't know if they're gonna
get much into what happens in thesecond game. I wonder if they're setting
(17:07):
that up or that's gonna be alot of the in between is season two.
So I'm a little I'm a littleworried, little worried. Seth Rogan
told Complex Seth Rogan and Evan Goldberg, of course those two write together,
produced together that they will never makesequels for super Bad and Pineapple Express,
saying there are a few things thatare best left untouched. Two of the
(17:33):
most unique comedies ever made. SuperBad definitely a tear if not two above
Pineapple Express. But there are PineapplePineapple Express uniqueness wise is even more than
super Bad. Agreed. Agreed,there there's there's definitely a segment that pushes
Pineapple Express higher than most. Thisis this is what all of comedy writer's
(17:55):
answers should be like when like Stepbrothers. Another example is don't don't do Sea
when no do Sherlock and Holmes doSherlock and Watson at two wasn't very good
and we love Borat. You justget when you catch lightning in a bottle,
you gotta leave it. You can't, you can't go back to try
to bottle more. Just is whatit is. Plus they gave us the
(18:15):
unofficial sequel to Pineapple Express, andthis is the end, so you can't
make a third one. Good enough, Yeah, good enough? Yeah,
news down, We got a lego. Pharrell biopic. I saw this and
I'm like, I'll check this outlater. I just never got back to
it, Matt, can you explainit to me? Like I'm five,
(18:36):
I am excited for this. Idon't so obviously. Pharrell Williams is one
of the best producers of the lasttwenty five years. As an artist himself,
I don't love him, but hehas some hits, you know,
songs, you know. But asa producer other than Kanye and Timberland,
he's like right there, right He'sHe's talked about on the Mount Rushbore,
(18:59):
at least in our He is alsonotably like bizarre artsy and so he has
a biopick coming out in the fallOctober eleventh that is gonna be a Lego
movie. It is all Legos back. Why I am uh? Who is
the audience for this? Me?You'll be sitting in the theater, you
and Pharrell. I love this becauseyou don't have to deal with too often
(19:23):
in the biopicks like it's not seriousenough or it's too serious. I think
it's cute. Legs is fucking great. I think it's cute. I'm never
gonna watch this, Oh, I'mgonna watch the shit out of this movie.
Goo. I don't know how you'renot looking forward to it. New's
depth. It got some more deadMan casting, The Knives out three Ryan
(19:48):
Johnson movie, Josh Brolin and ThomasHayden Church joining the cast. So see
just gonna keep as these are alljust gonna be massive clue style who Done
It's and people are just gonna keepeating it up? Is that the plan?
I guess? And this also kindof tells me like, if you're
just gonna have everybody in the worldin these movies, you're gonna run out
of actors eventually. If you're gonnatry and keep on making these, that's
(20:11):
a pretty good point. Yep,no doubt about that. I think this
might be and I might be wrongthe last one for Benoi Blanc. Are
these all books too? No?These are fresh original stories. Yes,
these are fresh out of the brainof Ryan Johnson. I don't know if
that's true. It probably is,or maybe it's not. I don't know.
I really like the first one.The second one's fine, and let's
(20:33):
see, let's see news down goodenough Macco lot uh. The Acolyte premiered
on Disney Plus this past week thispast Guesday, in fact, Tuesday nights
at nine o'clock. It's it lookslike these new episodes are gonna be coming
out. We got two the episodes, is gonna be an eight episode season,
(20:56):
and boy boy, is this likeright up my Admittedly it's not phenomenal
at least so far. Admittedly Idon't love it, but I love it
well. The lead actress is notgreat, she's just okay to me.
She hasn't like brought it down,but I feel like everyone else around her
has been much better. But sheis playing two roles, so it's a
(21:18):
lot to do. Is she EddieMurphy in it? Have you not watched
these two episodes? Now? Okay, so the premises and this isn't really
spoiler because the first two episodes isthere is a character who's a twin and
she's playing both parts. Oh,Lindsay Lohan. It's a little bit like
that, like the little mystery they'vebuilt through the first two episodes though,
(21:40):
because there is some sort of sithlord involved that we don't know, and
we also are trying to figure outwhat they're after or what they're trying to
do, what they're going for,And it also seems like because of the
separation of the twins. Maybe theJedi had done something a little sketchy.
So I'm looking forward to how thiswhole thing unravels. And uh, there's
(22:02):
been a good amount of lightsabers sofar. Tell you, if you got
a kid, actor, you wantto get twins. That way you can
double up the workload, you canseparate it. If you have twins,
you want to get triplets. Thatway, you can keep flipping them in
and out. And it's not achild, and it's like she's probably like
a twenty five year old female.Then why do I want to watch this?
Then I thought that that was Ithought it was kids trying to get
(22:26):
their parents back together. No,that is honey, I shrunk the kids.
That doesn't happen in that movie.They just shrink. Yeah, honey,
I blew up the kids. Maybeit's different movie. That's the second
one. That's the third one.Honey, I shrunk myself. Question Mark,
Maybe it's okay. So he shrunkthe kids, blew up the kids,
(22:47):
and then he shrunk the adults.That's not bad. Did the adults
ever get blown? No, theadults never got blown. I think at
that point they said, let's makea TV series and let's let's have some
goofy high jinks, not too muchblowing and shrinking. Though. You know
who I really liked for for aperiod there was Kristie Alley, a big
christ the Alley guy was Kristi Alliin those movies. Yes, I think
she's the wife in the first one, isn't she. I think you're thinking
(23:08):
of Look who's talking, No,look who's talking as her and Travolta right,
correct, Yeah, I think she'sin Honey instruct the Kids too,
in everything like nineteen eighty seven,Kristy Alley. It's exactly my style,
news demp and finally available right nowon Netflix. Hitman. Yeah, The
Hitman starring Glenn Powell, who's like, I guess our next superstar, right,

full of puppets might might might,uh might do it? I don't.
I wouldn't care for that. Well, then I wouldn't ask questions. I
don't want answers to Can you seemy mouth moving? Yeah? Yeah,
(01:07):
I'm a regular Jeff Dunham. Yeah, you're uh, you're really crushing this
right now. I'm really losing it. I'll break out another puppet next week.
News done. Oh boy, Macdid you hear about this? Doctor

(01:29):

(03:43):
And I get as an alcohol drinker, I get it mixes well with Captain
and cochl of alcohols. Yeah.But other than that, I really don't
get the appeal of a Coca PEPSIactually, outside of a cola. Can
you name me a soda that mixeswell with alcohol? Hear me out this
one. I'm gonna I'm all earsright now, absolutely no sense, but
(04:04):
try it, trust me. Mountaindew and rum specifically Mountain doing Captains,
but I'm sure most RUMs like Captainswould work like that. Mountain dew in
Captain Morgan's somehow works really well.I have no idea why. Oh ginger
rail too, yeah, Jambo Gingeryeah? Jo? And now what was
(04:24):
what was my go to drink backin our college days? Oh? So
you well, we could pretend itwas college days. We were out of
college. I'm a doctor. Iwent, I'm a doctor. Guys.
He used to come to my apartmenton Sunday afternoons for football with a twelve
pack. Was it mug or Aand W? It was either mug or
it was grape soda. I wouldswitch it up. Okay, it was
(04:45):
never barks though, No, No, it was mostly rup beer sometimes grape.
Show to you, right and atseven fifty of what was it?
Was it rum? You were thecaptains? Yeah, I'm a simple man.
That was you would you would finishthe seven fifty usually and there would
be plenty of soda leftover. Sothat tells you where good was at.
(05:08):
In twenty thirteen, one night,I thought I had no legs news done
in other pop culture news. Scientistssay they're close to a breakthrough drug that
will regenerate human teeth. They arealready successful with animal trials. Human trials
(05:28):
are on their way in a fewmonths, and they aim to have this
commercially available in twenty thirty mac.Are you excited about having new teeth?
This is an incredible step forward inlike science. It truly is like they
always talk about one of the thingsyou don't get more of or things that
go away. Like real valuable isyour teeth. You know, you only
(05:50):
get two sets. Some people don'teven get that many. They was talking
about the enamel wearing a way.Once you lose that teeth is fucking gone.
This is it's unbelievable. I dothink it's going to cost a million
dollars to get a regenerated tooth asit stands. I have a little knowledge
on this because when I was incollege, my cousin was the victim of
(06:12):
a baroom brawl. Barroom brawl whereshe took a bottle of the face full
beer bottle of the face was nota part of the fight. Someone threw
it, it missed the person theywere aiming. I hit my cousin square
in the face, and for herto get teeth replaced, which she needed,
it was gonna be about four thousandper tooth to get screwed into her
(06:32):
head, basically, and that's aftersome other costs. So dental work is
extremely expensive and most often a lotof things aren't covered because it's considered cosmetic
and not necessary. Otherwise they'll justgive you like fake teeth. So this
is actually a massive development for humans. It really is two things number one,
(06:55):
I look forward to my future,my shark like future of just lose
teeth, and then another one justkind of grows in immediately. I'm not
too worried about it anymore. Andthen also I had the pausibility I almost
signed up for this. Would yourealize, like, would you notice if
I showed up for this podcast oneday and I had veneers. I think
(07:15):
it's hard to not notice when someonegets veneers because they're so perfect, and
they they're a little bulgy. Youcan always you can usually like pick up
on the upper lips a little pushedout more because the bulge as opposed to
my chick lit teeth. Those arealso very expensive. And do you know
what they do for veneers by theway, Yeah, they got to take
the teeth out and then like grindinto the bone, right, they shave
(07:36):
your teeth down into like little arrowsfangs fangs, and then they fit the
veneers on there. So once youget veneers, I mean, they're probably
gonna last almost forever. You're stuckwith it. I've made a huge mistake
not doing this. I should havedone this. I could have had fangs
for a while. Who doesn't hatethe dentist though that just sucks. The
(08:01):
setup in here is not great forme. Mac. We've got a trailer
four Venom the last dance, andthe only thing that sticks out to me
is everything looks pretty generic. Isa big old venom horse. Yeah,
they're trying to have fun with thisthis property, and it's just you know,
Tom Hardy is good as Eddie brockVenom. Everything surrounding him so far
(08:24):
in this universe has been pretty shit. It almost looks like they're gonna try
and wreckcon the symbiote getting into theMCU too, Like they're gonna like they're
taking their ball and going home,like fuck you, Sony, Come on
now, Like nothing in here looksat all intriguing, but we saw the
first two, so we're gonna beseeing the third. One horse thing looks
(08:46):
fucking crazy. Would you ride that? Have you ever ridden a horse?
I don't know if I've I have. If I did, it was like
way back in the day as achild. Yeah, they used to do
that shit. Or you could likeride an elephant. What everyone's what certain
zoo things? You know you alwaysfeel so bad for the elephant. Oh
yeah, all that shit is likeonce you remove yourself from that, like
(09:07):
the spectacle of it, and youget a little older, like that's kind
of fucked up. Yeah, yeah, news doubt, Oh, lots of
Avengers news. Mac, I willlet you do this, okay. So
this is via thhr and Deadline,compiled by a culture crave on Twitter slash
x, so credit to them forhelping us out. The next Avengers movie
(09:31):
may feature over sixty MCU characters.This is an ensemble instead of a handful
of characters leading the team. Amongthose potentially we'll see sort of at at
the forefront of this is Thor Loki, Hulk, Doctor Strange, Nebula,
and Shang Chi. So that's that. Seems like they're leaning on in the
(09:52):
old instead of the new, whichI don't know if that's the direction they
really want to go. Michael Waldronhas turned into the latest script, so
there's progress there. Production is setto begin next year. We still don't
know the main villain. I thinkthe whole King thing has really thrown this
thrown this up in the air.However, Marvel has a million villains.
They will figure it out. ButI do think that they have been in
(10:15):
a bit of a limbo since thewhole king stuff has gone awry. Sean
Levy their top choice to direct.He is Deadpool, right, yes,
dead and I believe he's already turnedit down once in the past. Okay,
all right, Well, it soundslike they must like the cut of
this Deadpool Wolverine movie so much thatthey're like, hey, we really want
you to do this, but theyare going to meet with other directors in
(10:37):
the meantime. I to me,the director is good of a job,
as the Russo brothers did with InfinityWar an Endgame. To me, the
director doesn't matter a ton for it. I don't know they were four for
four. I agree. I agreewith you. I don't think it matters
a ton because at that point everything'salready Let me let me tell you why
(11:00):
I think it matters. Can Ihave the floor for a second. Sure.
So, I think what this tellsus is that Wolverine might have a
bigger role in this movie. Ithink it tells you that something significant is
gonna happen in dead Pool Wolverine.Much like how you know with the Avengers
movies that came out, Captain Americathe biggest character in there, and you
have the Captain America directors on thatmovie. I think that this would Deadpool
(11:24):
would be in it, but Wolverinewould have a bigger role. Yeah.
I think as much as we havewanted Deadpool and Wolverine to sort of stand
on its own so it doesn't haveto connect to other stuff, it's looking
like more and more by the endof Deadpool and Wolverine we're gonna have a
pretty clear direction. And again,Fantastic four is early next year, and
(11:46):
that's gonna be another jumping off point. So like the anticipation level for Deadpool
Wolverine is just so far through theroof news depth, farthest reach I've ever
had to do. We have someBeatles casting mac or some Beatles casting rumors.
Rumor has it, this, ofcourse, is the Sam Mendez four
(12:09):
pack of Beatles. According to screenrant, Harris Dickinson as John Lennon,
Miss Scale as Paul McCartney. Itmakes sense why they would cast him.
They have the same first names.It'll be easy on set. You say
Paul, He'll always respond. BarryKey Hogan as Ringo Star maybe the most
interesting of the bunch. I don'tknow, man, how do you say
(12:33):
it? I would have said KeganKegan I like better, and then Charlie
Rowe as George Harrison. I onlyknow mescal and Keegan. Barry Keegan dating
Sabrina Carpenter right now, by theway, that's hot, that's meat.
He starred in her most recent musicvideo. Who else did he fuck the
(12:54):
ground? Did he have sexual intercoursewith the ground? I think think there's
there's substantial evidence out there to saythat she saw that movie and then pretty
soon after they started dating. Sothat tells you all you need to tell
all you know about that relationship.I have no idea who Harris Dickinson is.
I have no idea who Charlie Roweis. I'm actually I I I
(13:16):
haven't even seen Paul mezcal in stuff. I just know he's been in a
lot of stuff the last couple ofyears. I would almost prefer faceless people
to take on these roles. Idon't want preconceived characters in my head,
and this is a lot. Totry to do this with the Beatles is
almost a fruitless endeavor, Like there'sgonna be detractors no matter what, like
(13:39):
people like I mean, don't getme wrong that that movie wasn't very good.
I enjoyed it, but it wasn'tvery good. The uh the Beatles,
Yeah movie, but that got thatyou get doubled down on it because
the Beatles are so great. Youhave extra eyes on stuff. So Sam
Mendez obviously has as a good trackrecord. So if anyone can do it,
(14:01):
maybe it's sim It's just it's it'shard to get super excited about this
project. I can't even imagine himpulling this off. Ooo Octopus's Garden under
the Sea. Hopefully by the theend of the project, we're all will
be shutting Hey Jude. Is therethe end of the sentence, No is
(14:26):
anyone of the movie named Jude.We'll just be exclaiming Hey Jude, and
then Jude will pop up and say, by the way, I've been to
to Paul McCartney shows, and hecloses with hey Jude. Every time saying
no no naa for like five straightminutes at the end is amazing. It's
always the best news. Did youwatch the clip of the Boys that was
(14:50):
released? I did, I did, so. This seems like very early
on first or second episode, everyone'sgonna know that Butcher has no time left
to live, so that's gonna beless of a secret than we thought.
Ryan is older, noticeably older.He's like you could tell he's starting to
hit sort of pubertyes. So it'llbe interesting to see how that plays out,
(15:11):
if this does go the fucking five, six, seven seasons or whatever
they're gonna do. Now. Anthonystarrs Homelander is so fun. He's the
best. I'll tell you. Weinvented the plemonade for Jesse Plemons, but
Anthony Starr and Homelander every time he'son the screen steals the scene. Every
single time. News down, wegot an update here. Beck Bennett's has
(15:35):
been cast in the Superman movie,written by James Gunn, directed by James
Gunn. I like the idea ofBeck Bennett using James Gunn comedy. I
think you and I are both bigBen Bennett guy. I'm a bigger Beck
Bennett fan than most, not asmuch as Kyle Mooney, like I love
Kyle Mooney Moore, and also Ithink Kyle Mooney likes Beck Bennett more than
I do as well. But BeckBennett has been one of the few bright
(16:00):
spots on SNL over the last eightto ten years. One of my favorite
characters that he does is he playsa giant baby in a in an adult
man's body. He nails it.I think he's legit funny. I love
his faces to a beck bettet's good. This is a good casting. I
don't know what he's playing, butI'm happy's involved it is damn. Also
(16:21):
got an update for the Last ofUs via Deadline. Season two will have
seven episode, season three a significantlylarger number of episodes, and then season
four will potentially happen this. I'mnot gonna say worrisome, because that's the
wrong word to use. I'm justhaving trouble finding the word. Obviously,
Season one was fucking spectacular, amazingseason or the second game is set like
(16:45):
eight or ten years after the firstgame something like that, maybe even a
little less time. Maybe seven yearsis the number. But there's time between
the first and second game, andI'm sure the show is gonna play with
that. But to only have sevenepisodes, I don't know if they're gonna
get much into what happens in thesecond game. I wonder if they're setting
(17:07):
that up or that's gonna be alot of the in between is season two.
So I'm a little I'm a littleworried, little worried. Seth Rogan
told Complex Seth Rogan and Evan Goldberg, of course those two write together,
produced together that they will never makesequels for super Bad and Pineapple Express,
saying there are a few things thatare best left untouched. Two of the
(17:33):
most unique comedies ever made. SuperBad definitely a tear if not two above
Pineapple Express. But there are PineapplePineapple Express uniqueness wise is even more than
super Bad. Agreed. Agreed,there there's there's definitely a segment that pushes
Pineapple Express higher than most. Thisis this is what all of comedy writer's
(17:55):
answers should be like when like Stepbrothers. Another example is don't don't do Sea
when no do Sherlock and Holmes doSherlock and Watson at two wasn't very good
and we love Borat. You justget when you catch lightning in a bottle,
you gotta leave it. You can't, you can't go back to try
to bottle more. Just is whatit is. Plus they gave us the
(18:15):
unofficial sequel to Pineapple Express, andthis is the end, so you can't
make a third one. Good enough, Yeah, good enough? Yeah,
news down, We got a lego. Pharrell biopic. I saw this and
I'm like, I'll check this outlater. I just never got back to
it, Matt, can you explainit to me? Like I'm five,
(18:36):
I am excited for this. Idon't so obviously. Pharrell Williams is one
of the best producers of the lasttwenty five years. As an artist himself,
I don't love him, but hehas some hits, you know,
songs, you know. But asa producer other than Kanye and Timberland,
he's like right there, right He'sHe's talked about on the Mount Rushbore,
(18:59):
at least in our He is alsonotably like bizarre artsy and so he has
a biopick coming out in the fallOctober eleventh that is gonna be a Lego
movie. It is all Legos back. Why I am uh? Who is
the audience for this? Me?You'll be sitting in the theater, you
and Pharrell. I love this becauseyou don't have to deal with too often
(19:23):
in the biopicks like it's not seriousenough or it's too serious. I think
it's cute. Legs is fucking great. I think it's cute. I'm never
gonna watch this, Oh, I'mgonna watch the shit out of this movie.
Goo. I don't know how you'renot looking forward to it. New's
depth. It got some more deadMan casting, The Knives out three Ryan
(19:48):
Johnson movie, Josh Brolin and ThomasHayden Church joining the cast. So see
just gonna keep as these are alljust gonna be massive clue style who Done
It's and people are just gonna keepeating it up? Is that the plan?
I guess? And this also kindof tells me like, if you're
just gonna have everybody in the worldin these movies, you're gonna run out
of actors eventually. If you're gonnatry and keep on making these, that's
(20:11):
a pretty good point. Yep,no doubt about that. I think this
might be and I might be wrongthe last one for Benoi Blanc. Are
these all books too? No?These are fresh original stories. Yes,
these are fresh out of the brainof Ryan Johnson. I don't know if
that's true. It probably is,or maybe it's not. I don't know.
I really like the first one.The second one's fine, and let's
(20:33):
see, let's see news down goodenough Macco lot uh. The Acolyte premiered
on Disney Plus this past week thispast Guesday, in fact, Tuesday nights
at nine o'clock. It's it lookslike these new episodes are gonna be coming
out. We got two the episodes, is gonna be an eight episode season,
(20:56):
and boy boy, is this likeright up my Admittedly it's not phenomenal
at least so far. Admittedly Idon't love it, but I love it
well. The lead actress is notgreat, she's just okay to me.
She hasn't like brought it down,but I feel like everyone else around her
has been much better. But sheis playing two roles, so it's a
(21:18):
lot to do. Is she EddieMurphy in it? Have you not watched
these two episodes? Now? Okay, so the premises and this isn't really
spoiler because the first two episodes isthere is a character who's a twin and
she's playing both parts. Oh,Lindsay Lohan. It's a little bit like
that, like the little mystery they'vebuilt through the first two episodes though,
(21:40):
because there is some sort of sithlord involved that we don't know, and
we also are trying to figure outwhat they're after or what they're trying to
do, what they're going for,And it also seems like because of the
separation of the twins. Maybe theJedi had done something a little sketchy.
So I'm looking forward to how thiswhole thing unravels. And uh, there's
(22:02):
been a good amount of lightsabers sofar. Tell you, if you got
a kid, actor, you wantto get twins. That way you can
double up the workload, you canseparate it. If you have twins,
you want to get triplets. Thatway, you can keep flipping them in
and out. And it's not achild, and it's like she's probably like
a twenty five year old female.Then why do I want to watch this?
Then I thought that that was Ithought it was kids trying to get
(22:26):
their parents back together. No,that is honey, I shrunk the kids.
That doesn't happen in that movie.They just shrink. Yeah, honey,
I blew up the kids. Maybeit's different movie. That's the second
one. That's the third one.Honey, I shrunk myself. Question Mark,
Maybe it's okay. So he shrunkthe kids, blew up the kids,
(22:47):
and then he shrunk the adults.That's not bad. Did the adults
ever get blown? No, theadults never got blown. I think at
that point they said, let's makea TV series and let's let's have some
goofy high jinks, not too muchblowing and shrinking. Though. You know
who I really liked for for aperiod there was Kristie Alley, a big
christ the Alley guy was Kristi Alliin those movies. Yes, I think
she's the wife in the first one, isn't she. I think you're thinking
(23:08):
of Look who's talking, No,look who's talking as her and Travolta right,
correct, Yeah, I think she'sin Honey instruct the Kids too,
in everything like nineteen eighty seven,Kristy Alley. It's exactly my style,
news demp and finally available right nowon Netflix. Hitman. Yeah, The
Hitman starring Glenn Powell, who's like, I guess our next superstar, right,
(23:32):
He's trending that way. He's sofar. Everything we've seen that he's
been in and it's only been twothings for me have been fucking awesome.
I've seen him twice, one hundredpercent in No way down. This is
on Netflix. Carly was in thetheaters for a couple of weeks. Yeah,
select theaters. The only one inBoston was the Alamo Draft House.
I wasn't going all the Way toSea. I think it's playing right now

with Coolidge. Okay, all right, maybe currently on Netflix. It is
gonna be our episode next week,so if you haven't seen it, catch
it and you'll be able to jointhe conversation. All right, So that'll
do it for this Catch us atthe top of next week, and then
another news dump at the end ofnext week. I'll try and figure out
my situation, but until then,thanks for playing mac God. I don't
