Speaker 1 (00:00):
Adult happy meals aren't as sexy as they sound. Christmas
is canceled in twenty twenty six. The live action rated
ar Turtle movie is still on. It's a Bird, It's
a Plane, It's Superman on VOD and way too much
Ron Howard News. All that and more coming up on newstup.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
So much more Mac. Big news for you. You have a
big card show coming up this weekend. Have you figured
out what cards you want? Psaight?
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Well, two separate topics here?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
No? No, No, same topic one big mind go ahead.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
I'm going to a card show this Saturday, actually with
podcasts famous guest Shime Time. He'll be one of the
folks I'll be meeting there. On top of that, I
am going to be sending in some Pokemon cards to
get graded for the first time ever. So I'm like
four or five months into this Pokemon card journey here.
So now I've accumulated some cards I want to get graded.
(00:59):
And then I'm also going to bring cards Saturday that
I don't think are PSA ten worthy that I'll probably trade,
so I'm looking forward to them. I need a hobby,
you know, can't do the fucos anymore. It's fucking hard
to display these big ash boxes. So now we're onto
Pokemon cards. I'm enjoying it. However, I should stop spending money.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Two things. Have you considered building little wooden ships in
glass bottles?
Speaker 1 (01:21):
I have not considered that yet, so maybe once I'm
done with Pokemon cards, I'll move on to that good.
The issue with the grading the cards is it takes
like two months and it's twenty bucks of cards, so
you have to like really decide which cards you want
to send.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Thank you for letting me finish my thought. I said
two things. I only suggested one very serious thing of
building ships and glass bottles. My second question was how
many cards right now do you plan on having graded?
Speaker 1 (01:47):
I have about forty ish cards.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
You're sending forty in.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Forty Yeah, it was more I had, so I withered
it down right to like fifty ish, and then I
had to get a little more strict some down to
about forty ish. I might do another round real quick.
But when you're building it, it's a whole process. So
the way you gotta pack them, and you have to
pack them in the order of the way you clicked
on the PSA site, so it's got to be all
in order, and sometimes it takes longer than it should
(02:15):
define the actual card on the PSA site, So it's
it's a process.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
I'm gonna put the over under on Grade ten cards
at four and a half.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Four and a half out of forty.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Yeah, but it's gonna be the five that you don't
want to get tens on.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
I'm hoping so the cards I'm predominantly sending are the
ones that like improve and value the most as a ten, yes,
and I'm hoping for like twenty five twenty five.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Yeah, so that's what you're up to. Are you gonna
ask me about my right eye?
Speaker 1 (02:47):
I didn't really notice. Coo, what's happening with your right eye?
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Number one? Not conjunctivitis? Number two? Another styr is the
year of the sty It going to be a sty
Stummerti Stummer.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
What's going on in your life that you're so conducive
to stys? So?
Speaker 2 (03:07):
The first one horrible, The first one, like my eye
was shut. This one, I don't know what's going on.
It's not as bad, but you know, around the house.
I now have the nickname Chris in honor of Red Sox.
Second Basement's last utility man Chris Stein's.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
You're Your Wife obviously noted Sock's. A historian would know
that Christine's played for the Red Sox.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Was it Christine's or Ray Sanchez that got beamed in
the head.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
I also don't like the way you said, son.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
You know what, Christinees might have gotten hit in the
eye with a ball, which would then give him a
big red eye. That might have happened. I might be.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
I don't know if I've had one sty in my life,
never mind two in Stuy summer.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
The issue is that I'm always playing outside with my son,
so just dirt is getting in my eyes?
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Is that what causes sties?
Speaker 2 (03:59):
I don't know. I'm curious is how we bad?
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Eye guy?
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Yeah, we need an eye guy. We need a doctor
that listens to the show. But how often or how
bad is it to get smoke from the grill in
your eyes?
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Well as a person who occasionally that's smoke you in
their faces and eyes and lungs. It's not great. Stuff
are not great. I don't know if it would cause
a stye, though, you know what happens to me when
I'm exposed to smoke for probably longer.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
There should be my skin like because they're always smoking doobies.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Right Like, my forehead will break out. I just get
the skin gets real patchy, at least for me, and
then I'll be blowing black shit out of my nose
for two days. Goo. Now that I'm realizing this and
stumbling upon this whole eye thing, hashtag eyegate. You don't
wear glasses, don't need glasses. I don't wear glasses, don't
need glasses. You never had braces. I never had brains.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
I've had braces five times. I currently have braces.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
But you have braces in high school.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
I did. I had them in elementary, middle school, high school.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Always about how superior we are, but I forgot your inferior.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
I'm a step below you.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Is it painful? Described?
Speaker 2 (05:11):
This one isn't bad. The last one was terrible. This
one is horrible. I just wanted to bring it up
so the people touch isn't bad either. I don't want
to touch it too much to not get it infected again, though.
I just wanted to tell the people at home about it,
so they aren't watching this video right now, Like, what's
up with that ghoul sitting next to Mac?
Speaker 1 (05:29):
I don't think you can really notice it until now
that you've said it, now that I'm staring at your
right eye.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Would I be a complete lame?
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Would I be a complete squid? If I got barbecue
goggles that would cover my eyes while I'm grilling?
Speaker 1 (05:43):
How old are you grilling?
Speaker 2 (05:45):
I grill often, and I grill at a very high
level and a lot of smoke. It's in my face.
Would I look like who was it Brett Cecil from
the Blue Jays. He was a pitcher who wore reckless.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Yeah, I don't know. I don't think he wore rex back.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Would I look like that kid Graham from our Babe.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Ruth league he was on the Marlins.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Yeah, on your team? Yeah, you guys were the biggest
disappointment in Babe Ruth Hill. Oh. We had so much,
so much talent, and you guys sucked. You sucked.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
I hit like seven to fifty in my Baby Ruth
career and we didn't win one play.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
That's because we all cheated and used that McGregor bat.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
No, you, I didn't have that fucking bat you get
Every team had that bad No, Come on, come on,
I was I had, I had a drop three. I
forget what I had. I used I used that in
my last couple of years. I don't get me started
on Babe Ruth legit like every summer someone would go away.
We didn't even have enough players to field the team
my first year. I don't know the collection of talent
(06:40):
we had on the Babe Ruth Marlins from what two
thousand and two to two thousand and five or two
thousand and four. We were in Baby Ruth for three years,
So what it was.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
I don't know. I was only in it for one.
I only played one year of it.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
I used to rick doubles of the gap Goo. We
didn't have home run power back then. It was fucking
three hundred and forty feet the left field.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
We were speak for yourself, Speak for yourself, los dope.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
That was good. PSA talk mac over at McDonald's right now,
not only have they brought in the Hello Kitty TMNT
mashups for the happy Meals. Right now you can go
there us our age and order an adult happy meal.
And you might be thinking that sounds pretty sexy. What's
(07:23):
in it? Just a quarter pounder with cheese or a
ten piece McNugget with fries and a new Mount McDonald
shake and a collectible souvenir.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
So sorry, I'm a little confused. Yes, so an adult
happy meal. Yes, it's just like a regular meal meal,
except you get a collectible souvenir.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
You get a shake and a souvenir, and the souvenir
is just like it's a card a shake.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
How like, why am I gonna do a shake drinking?
I guess if you getting shake, you're just getting a shake.
You're not getting a meal and a shake.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Yeah, that's way way too much. How much of these
adult have I didn't really look into it. I just
saw it. I said, that's that's cute. Let me see
what's in it. Number one, they should have sex toys
in it. Number two, I got the anal beads. Number two.
They're all shaped like gremace. Or one is shaped like gremace,
(08:19):
one is mayor mccheese, one is Birdie. You know that Grimace.
They revealed what Grimace is and this would actually play
well with an adult happy meal. It's a taste bud.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
I don't like that.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
No, did the person who owns that taste bud have emphysema? Geez, louise,
I know that in mesothelioma. Anything that was given to
me is like, this is a class action lawsuit against it.
Have you been using your privates? Call this lawyer. I
(08:53):
was thinking that, like, the way to get people our
age to actually purchase this is like we have given
we have put in the box a handful of McDonald's
Happy Meal toys from the nineties. We're not gonna tell
you what they are, but it might be a Beatie Baby,
it might be a Furbye, it might be one of
those tiny tunes flippable cars.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
I want one of those glass cups from.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Oh Oh my God. But weren't those Burger King. I
feel like Burger King had the better cuffs.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
I was assuming McDonald's.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Well, Burger King had the big kids meals during the
time of Pokemon, the first movie card and a figure.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Yeah. Well now, McDonald's just did a Pokemon promo last
year before I was back into the Pokemon craze and
they had like five exclusive cards or something like that.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Yeah, so give me something from my childhood or I'm
not gonna jump into this nostalgic thing. I'm not eating
McDonald's anyways, but if you want to bring me in.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
This is sort of the new give me liberty or
give me death.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
That's that's exactly what it is. That's exactly what it is.
Said that Ronald McDonald's no, Ronald McDonald said that.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Oh, Patrick Henry, that's right, give me a you give
me death.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
News demp Over the weekend in Major League Baseball, let's
get a little sportsy, but it's entertainment wise as well.
It was MLB players weekend. The league allowed players to
show off some flair, show off some personality with custom
bats and cleats. Did you catch any of these cool bats?
Speaker 1 (10:21):
I saw some of the Red Sox players bats, but
I was not on the whole pay paying much attention
to players.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
We can, okay, I will ask you because some of
the bats it was like, you know, I saw someone
I think Jaron Duran had a stitch bat. Marcella Meyer,
who didn't even play, had a lightning McQueen bat Roman,
Anthony Roman Empire bat. Mac. What piece of flair would
you try and show off with your bat during this
player weekend?
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Well, I mean i'd probably in my current face, it'd
probably be Pokemon oriented, the original stuff, like I really
like the pencil eraser bats, the lightsaber bats like that. Shit.
Simple but effective.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
The lightsaber bats are kind of tell They're tough to
tell what they are unless you're really looking at them.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Though, yeah, because the handle's kind of covered. So yeah,
I get that part of it. But like, I just
like the idea. I also I'm wondering, like, why are
they allowed to like fuck with bats? You know what
I mean? They're so you know you can't do this,
you can't do that, And all of a sudden, now
I'm allowed to doctor my battle a little bit, I
(11:23):
might as well cork my player's weekend bat.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
You know, so your first thought is to show off
your personality. I want to cheat? Yes, well done. I
was thinking now, first off, you know, turtles, Batman something
like that. But you know what I thought would be
funny is if one player said, like, you know what
I'm really into off the field giant asses, and as
(11:45):
bat is just a giant ass.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
With a Brazilian flag.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Yeah, why not?
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Now, how would you how would you orient the ass
on the bat to really emphasize that it's an ass
or ass cheeks?
Speaker 2 (11:59):
You know, that's a good point and that's something that
we'll need the people at home to tell us. How
do we do this comment in the comment section down
below on YouTube or hit us up on social media
at mac and gooop podcast. How do you put a
giant ass on a baseball? Bat Hew's Dope? Also, Hayden
Christiansen threw out the first pitch of a Cubs game
(12:19):
and the number that he wore on the back of
his jersey sixty.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Six Execute Order sixty six.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Supposed to Mac Mac, what number would you put on
the back of your jersey?
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Oh, come on it, just flip one of the sixes, you.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Know, pull a pull of Jared Allen.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Yeah, there you go. It's a good sixty nine.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Over at the box office over the weekend, same two
top spots as last weekend. Weapons twenty five million in
its second week, up to almost ninety million, domestic ninety
four eighty six on Roddy T's eighty one Meta Freaky
or Friday four Body Swaps made fourteen and a half
million in its second weekend fifty four point seven domestic
(13:01):
overall one ten actually, sorry, one ten domestic. You wrote
it different than how I do it? Worldwide one hundred
and sixty million dollars like.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Four words in there, the first one end up making
one ten domestic so this one maybe is tracking for
that first one made one hundred and sixty million worldwide,
So I think this is the goal for this movie here.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
I like to have random words and numbers and then
I can put it together in my head. I don't
like sentence structure. Sure, Sure, and it's opening weekend. Nobody
two made nine and a quarter. Nobody Won in twenty
twenty one, opened at six point eight million and made
twenty seven point five domestic almost sixty worldwide on a
sixteen million dollar budget. The budget on Nobody two is
(13:42):
twenty five million. I think it might have a tough
time hitting I think it will hit close to fifty
in its entire run. Yeah, but I think it's also
going to do really well streaming wise, because I'm not
sure if people look at this as an in theater movie.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Well, and also look at what it's up against. Right,
Like the seven movies we got listed here in box office,
we'll get to the next four, Fantastic Four, First Steps,
Bad Guys to Superman, The Naked Gun. They're all making
money at the box office currently, and five of the
seven if I haven't seen, I want to see, I
want to see weapons. I want to see nobody too.
I want to see The Naked Gun. So it's up
(14:19):
against pretty stiff competition for a movie that only made
fifty seven million the first time around. So yeah, I'm
guessing it'll get to fifty, maybe break even on its budget,
and find find a second audience streaming. But I am
a little surprised because Nobody in twenty twenty one came
out in a year that wasn't a great movie year.
We all liked it, and really we all saw it
(14:42):
and really liked it. It was better than any of us
had anticipated. So I'm a little surprised there wasn't more
fanfare leading up to this second one.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
I will say that nobody too. I've already seen it.
We'll talk about it at the end of the week.
Mac is seeing it after this.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Dump, trying to see it for a second time.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
It reminds me of John Wick one, where it's the
simplest of reasons of why he's doing stuff. There's no giant,
high table backstory. It's just this guy gets annoyed when
you fuck with this family. Yeah, nice and.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Easy, and it's like ninety minutes, right, eighty five minutes ideal.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
I was in a full theater when I saw it.
What an experience it was, people hooting, hollering, guffon. I
cackled at one point, maybe the loudest that I have
cackled since Harley Quinn Birds of Prey.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
I tried to see it last week, and I first
of all, I was the only one in the theater and.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
You wouldn't have had the same experience.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
As I walked locked in, there was like the screen
was like stuck on something. So I sat down. I
just got my large poopcorn, got a little wooder and
I'm sitting there like previous should be starting now, didn't happen.
Eat my popcorn. Fifteen minutes later, some representative from a
theater comes in. He's like, hey, we're having trouble playing
the movie, so we can't, Like, we can't play this movie.
(15:59):
What do you want to do? So he offered me
to walk into weapons twenty five minutes already into the movie,
or a refund. So I said, I guess I'll take
the refund. And then I'm just stuck with a large popcorn,
eating a large popcorn in my fucking car for twenty minutes,
getting popcorn everywhere, crying. So yeah, so I'll go back today.
Also the only person in the theater currently after I
(16:22):
bought the ticket, So we'll.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
See bringing up the rear over the weekend, Fantastic four
four steps eight point eight million, The Bad Guys two
seven point five million, Superman five point two million in
week six, and The Naked Gun Week three four point
eight million. You know what I saw over the weekend
mac the re release of the nineteen nineties teenage mutant
Ninja Turtles. I was in a full theater of everyone
wearing turtle garb, and I would say that everyone my age,
(16:48):
everyone our age, like roughly thirty two through I don't know,
like forty five. There are some older folks in there too,
locked in, hands on seat, ready to go, ready to
fucking hop into turtle Mania. All the five and six
year olds they weren't having it.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Yeah, it's also uh uh not dark thematically, it's just
an actual dark movie. So if you're hoping to rope
in kids and or you know, expand their imaginations, the
color palette in that movie is terrible, So it's like
it's hard to get to grasp a kid's attention when
you're just seeing really dark greens and blacks on the screen.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
I will say, though, and I've probably talked about this
in the past, the first time that Casey Jones ces
Splinter chained up against the fence and he looks at
him just goes all right, like all right, this is
this is my world now?
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Was there any special trinkets or memorabilities are given?
Speaker 2 (17:47):
And this is something that I'm gonna watch. But they
open the movie with a ten minute like special feature
of Hey, we're making this documentary about the first movie.
Here's ten minutes of it. And I'm like, my son
has an expiration date. Let's skip this and send me
a link and I'll watch it later. Because he doesn't
care how Steve barn decided, like the set list and
(18:09):
how he cut down the movie and how they didn't
shoot sixteen pages of the script. That's cool to me.
He doesn't give a shit.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
He also has no idea what a documentary is.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Yeah, news dope, people jump to this really quick.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Speaking of teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the live action TMNT
last ronin film is still in development at Paramount. The
film follows the lone surviving Turtle after his brothers and
Master Splinter are killed off one by one. The movie
will be rated R.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Is it gonna be animated or live action?
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Live action? Live action rated r TMNT.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
I'm in on that. I'm very much in on that.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
And like you've said, don't want to give too much away,
just the visual of one turtle with all four sets
of weapons.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
That's where it's a great, great concept.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
It's also an older turtle and with the mutation, has
grown beyond like what the smaller turtles are.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Yeah, it's one of those things that if you're just
like a light fan of the Turtles, a casual fan,
and you know anything at all, like it ropes the
concept alone ropes you.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
In news DEMP terrible news, Matt, Christmas is canceled in
twenty twenty six because Shrek five has been delayed six
months to June thirtieth, twenty twenty seven.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
I mean, that's probably good because it's up against what
Dune Prophecy Doom Part three and an Avengers movie next December,
so that works out well for it.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
This also opened up a whole can of worms of
I saw it and I'm like, okay, this is kind
of news. But my boss, I work at a news station,
saw this and he's like, hey, do you see Shrek five?
Got pushed back and thinking that I would just have
like a one word answer. I talked about it for
a half an hour, and I think he thinks a
lot less of me.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Now, well, what is why is he? Why is he
striking up small talk with you over Shruck five?
Speaker 2 (19:59):
I thought it was like, hey, you see this movie
that I think you like? And then I'm like yeah,
And then someone brought up Shrek three. I'm correcting them.
They're talking about this, they're talking about that. Well, actually,
at one point he's like, how how long do a
donkey's living? I'm like thirty to forty years because I've
done so much donkey research. No one in the office
(20:19):
liked me saying the word donkey research. Sure, sure, I
might have been fired. I don't even know slippery slope.
You know you scroll one link too far and it's
not a video about you want to watch? Why were
you let go from your job? Shrek? Donkey rear, donkey
research news dope? You mentioned Avengers right now? It is
(20:42):
looking like Ryan Reynolds will return as Deadpool in Avengers Doomsday.
This is according to th R And then don't expect
him to actually join the Avengers team though, but then
Deadline had a contradicting report and said that he has
not been on set and will not be in these
two movies.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
So I don't know which one to believe, because it
does seem like naturally we're gonna be dealing with like
the Void and or Pocket universes, right, But also I
don't think Figy wants to hitch his wagon to Deadpool
and have to have Ryan Reynolds come back for six movies.
(21:23):
So I could see both sides to it. I think
he's gonna pop up, but I don't think he's gonna
have a major.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Let me throw this by you, And this was brought
up by The Weekly Planet Mister Sunday Movie on their
podcast of by Deadline saying he has not been on set.
Does the character of Deadpool show up but it's in
the costume and it's not him, it's just a guy
in the costume.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
And then Reynolds is just doing the voiceover, or.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
He just doesn't say anything. Maybe it's one of those things,
you know, how he opens the door in Deadpool too,
all the X Men that were in there and they
close the door. Yeah, maybe it's a call back to that.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Yeah, I don't know. This will be interesting. This will
be one that I truly don't know where it's gonna go.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
News DN Buck of Bolt is heading to Disney Plus
on August twenty seventh. If you haven't seen it, go
check it out.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Yeah, well worth watching. I think still in the top
five six seven movies of me for Me on the
year fun team up. You know it's it's good. It's
a very good movie.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
News DP mac James Gunn says, what does he say? Superman,
the movie that just came out this past year, has
been released on vod back on the fifteenth. The reason
why is because he wanted to get audiences ready for Peacemaker.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
You know that's fair, But he's got to realize no
one's spending twenty five bucks at home to watch this movie.
I'm guessing.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
But does that reveal that maybe Superman is in Peacemaker.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
No, I don't think that's the case, but I do
think so. Speaking of pocket universes, that little dimension that
we saw in Superman that we kind of get alluded
to in the first peace Maker season, that's gonna play
a part of it. I think some of the ramifications
are some of the background stuff that occurs in Superman
is addressed in Peacemaker.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
James Gunn says, what does he say that the treatment
is done for his next film. It is in the
Superman saga. He hopes to begin production very soon. This
is via THHR. James Gunn says, what does He says,
Harley Quinn will return. I'm sorry, Margot Robbie will return
as Harley Quinn in the DCU. That will be revealed
(23:29):
down the line. I'm sorry when asked, Okay, let me
do this again. When asked if Margot Robbie will return
as Harley Quinn in the DCU, he said, that will
be revealed down the line.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Oh, you really fucked yourself up on the wording of
this one.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Okay, he was asked about it.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
As much as she's been great as Harley Quinn, it's
not unlike the Ryan Reynolds situation is Deadpool? Do we
want to keep pitching our wagon? Is she going to
be up first? So she six movies is.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
The right age if they do brave and bold stuff
with that older Bruce Wayne.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
And totally she could very easily fit into James's gun movies.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
We saw it, saw it in the Suicide Squad. That
was probably her best showing.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Actually yeah yeah, so yeah, so she probably will be
back then.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Speaking of the Suicide Squad, James Gunn says, what does
he say? He's actively looking to bring back blood Sport
into the DCU.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
I liked blood Sport. I liked Blood Sports Tech more
than I liked Blood Sport, but I liked I liked
that character. I'm okay with that news do.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
Anthony Starr of course plays the character of Homelander on
The Boys. He is saying goodbye to it as they
are wrapping up their final season of the show.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
I think one of the top ten greatest television characters
of all time, truly menacing, iconic, and Anthony Starr has
been in stuff for twenty twenty five years as is,
but this has propelled him to another level. I think
you're going to see him as John Carl Esposito got
bumped with Breaking Bad, you know, and got take it
(24:59):
to a the level and got a ton of roles
from that. I think we're gonna see that with Anthony Starr.
I think we're going to see him get offered a
lot of these villainous roles because of his take on Homelander,
and I'm happy to see him do that.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Yeah, he said, it's difficult to put into words, but
this is truly a highlight in his career, A complicated
character that allowed him space and range to discover and
truly push boundaries in a way he never expected he
would be able to. And he is grateful for the experience.
We created a monster, and he will miss him. I
do think as long as gen V is going on, though,
(25:32):
if he's not killed off or whatever, he might still
pop up every once in a while.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
I would be surprised. Also if GENV, well, yeah, I
guess we'll have to see how GENV Season two goes.
I'm not expecting five six seasons from gen V. I guess,
is what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Speaking of gen V news, domp episodes one through three
will be available on September seventeenth, and then one episode
a week, finishing with its eighth on October twenty second.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Yeah, this has been a long time coming. Obviously, they
lost one of the cast members in between the shooting
of the seasons, so they had to account for that.
We saw two or three of the gen V characters
pop up at the end of the Boys season.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Five, Season four, Yes, five, Now whatever the last one was.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Yeah, whatever the last one was. So they're intertwining these
these stories, and I'll be interested to see how involved
Boys level stuff is. In gen V season two.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
There's Depp speaking of the Boys universe Vought Rising. We
got some stills for that. They'll begin production on that show,
I believe in the fall, so it should be available
sometime next year. One of the stills is Soldier Boy.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Yeah, we see Soldier Boy and like an army you know,
nineteen forties, fifties army green type of get up. And
if you are unfamiliar with this or not sure what
this is going to be, essentially it's like an origin
for Vought and Soldier Boy and Stormfront and some of
the characters we've already been introduced to that arena. It's
(27:07):
gonna build out sort of that underbelly of where Vot
came from, Vought Rising, and hopefully provide some awesome scenes.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Do you think it starts off with him being a
bit of a boy scout and then becoming jaded by
the end of either this season or show.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
I think it's gonna essentially be what if Captain America
was in frozen and ice for seventy years, right like
what if Captain America lived through the Cold War? Sort
of shit?
Speaker 2 (27:30):
You know, it was damp. Hayden christiansen earlier in the show,
and he said that he wants to do more Star
Wars projects in the Clone War's era, saying, I think
there are some fun stories to tell there, and if
it meant I got to swing a lightsaber with you
and McGregor again, that would be amazing. He said, is
that fan ex bo Boston.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
We just we can't. We can't. As much as Filoni
poured in to that era that like ten years that
took place during and between the second and third prequels,
you can't keep diving back into that, right. At some point,
we got to get away from Anakin, we got to
(28:11):
get away from Vader, we got to get away from
Obi Wan and establish new characters to tell stories with.
And they're they're efforting it, they're trying it, and I'm
happy to see Hayden christian pop up in Ahsoka stuff.
Then Ahsoka is a good avenue to expand the Star
Wars universe. But we're talking about galaxies multiple and we
(28:32):
keep going back to the same handful of characters, so
I don't really want to go back into Clone Wars
era death.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Ron Howard revealed the advice, the advice that he got
from George Lucas ahead of not making Solo a Star
Wars story because he took over from Lord and Miller,
and he actually said the Lord and Miller cut was good,
but the advice that he got from George Lucas was
just don't forget it's for twelve year old boys.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
This is where Lucas is losing it a little bit.
Star Wars in general, for sure, rights that's the age,
and you're aiming for Solo a Star Wars story is
made for twelve year old boys in nineteen eighty, right.
The people that wanted to see the Solo origin when
it came out were actually fifty years old, so you
(29:20):
could have given it. And I'm sure Ron Howard pulled
back and made it more kid friendly than maybe Lord
and Miller had, you know, conveyed originally. But they make
kids movies too, Lord and Miller, so I'm you know,
hindsight is hindsight. But the Lord and Miller cut is
something we'll always dream of and desire. And you and
(29:41):
I both thought Solo was like a thumbs up. It's
solid checklist. It was, it was good enough, but the
potential there was obviously very wasted.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Ron Howard worked with George Lucas way back in the seventies.
How about that American graffiti? Have you seen that?
Speaker 1 (29:59):
I have not seen?
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Good seventy five? He was dupe of Ron Howard in
the seventies. He planned to exit Happy Days if ABC
changed the title of the show to Phonsie's Happy Days.
He said he was perfectly ready to get off the show,
and he understood maximizing the popularity of Phonsie when trying
(30:24):
to promote the show, but if they went and changed
it and connected it to the character, he said, fuck you.
Then thank god that his bosses did not do that.
He later found out that Henry Winkler was also very
much against this.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
So this sort of speaks to why Ron Howard's kind
of a shitbag. But like he is self aware. He's
talking about how he shouldn't have had that attitude because
he wasn't the main character he thought he was. He wasn't.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Well. He started out as like he was the main
character in season one, and then midway through they're like, oh,
this guy with the other jacket, everyone loves him.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Ron Howard, by the way, is at his best interested development.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Easily a thousand Simpsons too. He's great as a guest
spot on The Simpsons.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
I don't know. I've never really cared for Ron Howard,
and maybe in large part because of this sort of attitude.
I don't know. He obviously doesn't feel this way anymore,
as he's telling us.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
He also left Happy Days maybe after season six or seven.
He didn't stick around for the whole run, but that's
also because the show was shifting away from him even
being like the main guy outside of Phonsie, and shifting
toward Chacchi.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
What was the original theme song?
Speaker 2 (31:36):
It was one two, three o'clock, four o'clock Rock seven
eight o'clock.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Wrong second theme song greater than oh yeah, greater.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
These days around Happy Days they might happy. I did
have a great conversation about Happy Days at work the
other day too, almost got fired for that one. People
are always like, h you have oh you know what
it was. It's because someone made the point of saying
Lavernon Shirley the show was better than Happy Days, and
(32:05):
I'm like, well, yeah, it was. But also keep in
mind on Happy Days, Phonsie jumped over a shark. It
was the best episode.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
Where does Three's Company fall amongst those?
Speaker 2 (32:15):
That's not a spinoff. We were talking about spinoffs from shows.
Got Lavernon Shirley's a spinoff from Happy Days. That's back
in the sixties seventies when you would have one idea
and then say, let's turn this into fifty ideas. That's
before they just rebooted every show.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Well, what what's what's the spinoff of all in the Family.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
It's like four of them. It's Maud, the Jeffersons, the Jeffersons.
There's a bunch of them.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
That's what I'm thinking of.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
Yeah, they created the whole Little Pocket universe. Yeah, Happy Days? Also,
did you had Happy Days? Laverne and Shirley, Mork and Mindy?
Jonny loves Chachi?
Speaker 1 (32:47):
Yeah, like Joni loves Chachi.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Gee, that didn't last long. How did Chachi feel about Joni?
We don't know, Well, actually we do know early part
early seasons of Happy Days, and maybe he fell out
of love, but he was obsessed with Joni. Who was
you know what chachi means in Greek. Probably like dickhead
or something means Penis. Don't fact check me, guys, it's close.
(33:09):
Don't fact check me. That's our happy days talk. Lots
of Ron Howard talk on News Dump this week news Dope.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
I'd like to do some Bryce Dallas Howard talk if
you wouldn't mind.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
Oh that's your favorite thing from Ron.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
You would probably get fire for that.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
A New World War Z film is now a priority
at Paramounts. This is via TCHR.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
I mean that movie is probably underrated. Came out in
what two thousand and eight with Brad Pitty ten eleven
somewhere in that window. It's underrated.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
It's good. I don't know, man, like what I just
I feel like we're past the z craze, right the zombie.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Thing is over with. Obviously, Twenty eight Years Later is
still my favorite movie of the year so far. But
it's like it's a human story set with.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
A zo were in a zombana sance right now.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
We' what's happening the Last of Us? But again, a
human story set against the zombie backdrop.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
Now you got it. We're in a zombana sance right now.
That's why Paramounts look at all these zombies Yeah, you
have to start it with the Cranberries, even though I'm
pretty sure that's about the Vietnam War. That's what it's about.
It's different, it's not about actual zombies. Ah. You know,
(34:27):
it's a great song.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Linger Ling lingers better her vocals and Linger are insane.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
Well, her vocals in general are just so unique. Yeah,
so we are still Cranberry's podcast. There was the last
like one or two episodes, but let it Linger.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
Also one of the original Goat Tiny Desk concerts. They
did it in like twenty ten or eleven.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
I feel like I've seen that, but I'm forgetting about it.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
Yeah, it's very low quality footage and she sounds unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
Stranger Things creators that Duffer Brothers are in Texas on
a massive overall deal with Paramount to make TV shows
and theatrical films. Of course, their Stranger Things show is
wrapping up by the end of this year.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
I don't know if I want to sign up these
brothers who were supposed to produce these four or five
seasons over like five or six years, and it's turned
into a decade. I don't know if I really want
to do that.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Well, that's because every episode has turned into a movie.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
Yeah, Like I don't I don't know if they should
be running things. They need someone to oversee them.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
And I understand, like the quality of their show has
gotten better over time.
Speaker 1 (35:37):
It went down for a second second.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
It started great, it remained really good, dipped for is
a really really good season. Four is an awesome season.
But yes, we do. And this is with every show.
We need to get it going. We need to get
it going. Yep, it was dope, but finally huge news
for mac Anna Faris and Regina Hall. We'll return in
(36:00):
the next installment of Scary Movie. The Scary Movie franchise.
Marlon Wayns has confirmed the news on Instagram. Regina Hall
and Anna Farris said, we can't wait to bring Brenda
and Cindy back to life, to be reunited with our
great friends Keenan, Sean and Marlon. Three men we had
literally die for and Brenda actually has.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
If you're talking like comedy duos of the last twenty
five thirty years, Brenda and Cindy, Anna Farris and Regina
Hall are pretty high on the list. They're the reason
why those movies worked.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
It's one of those things too, where like I talked
about last week. As a kid, you think that Bam
is the coolest part of Evila Bam, when in fact
it's actually Phil. As a kid, you're watching the scary
movies and you're like, Oh, it's the Waynes Brothers. It's
Sean and Marlon, that's what's keeping this going. No, it's
Regina Hall. Regina Hall is hilarious. And then also so
(36:56):
she's kind of doing her own thing. And then what
Anna faris is doing is like she's doing perfect Leslie Nielsen,
like spoofs of all of these horror movies.
Speaker 1 (37:06):
Yeah, and she's also like the dichotomy, to use a word,
between her and Hall's character, Hall recognizing the ridiculousness and
calling everything out and Anna faris not playing into it
all and thinking it's all so so real, and it's
like it's perfect. It's an absolute, perfect, perfect combo.
Speaker 2 (37:25):
You see how this final girl runs in this scene,
I want you to do it but funny and then
just carmit the frog arms that she's running away.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
I always thought, I don't remember who I saw it with,
but I remember in the first one, the bush Sheen
when he's got the chainsaw, when I was like eleven.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
You see what your dad? Yeah, probably because I've probably
said this on the podcast before, but seeing not another
teen movie in the theaters with my father was a
rough sit. That's a great spoof too, by the way,
it is it for sure is especially like the opening scene.
I'm pretty sure is uh Is Janey with the vibrator. Yeah,
(38:07):
that was that was interesting. He's got credits of my
dad for taking me to the movies, though, so.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
I'm sure he wanted to enjoy some popcorn.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
It's one of those things I'm guessing, but like he
had no idea what that movie was about, and then
he sits down, He's like, what in the world. I'm
sure he found it funny, he had a that's his
exact style of humor. Excuse credit to me for bringing
him to his exact style of humor, but he probably
had no idea what he was getting into.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
The only experience I ever had like that was at
home my mom, for whatever reason, really want to watch
Soul Plane. She had Yes, I know we were getting
into and that that's the only time. Once she made
that mistake, she was never making that mistake again. So
that's the only experience I have even remotely like that.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
We have a past episode of most Uncomfortable Movies that
we've watched with our parents. I don't know where it is.
I'll have to find it. We'll pull some clips from
that or something. But yeah, that was definitely one of them.
News Depp checks out at the end of the week.
We'll talk about movies.
Speaker 1 (39:10):
Yep, nobody too, maybe weapons, maybe a couple other things.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
News Da
Adult happy meals aren't as sexy as they sound. Christmas
is canceled in twenty twenty six. The live action rated
ar Turtle movie is still on. It's a Bird, It's
a Plane, It's Superman on VOD and way too much
Ron Howard News. All that and more coming up on newstup.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
So much more Mac. Big news for you. You have a
big card show coming up this weekend. Have you figured
out what cards you want? Psaight?
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Well, two separate topics here?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
No? No, No, same topic one big mind go ahead.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
I'm going to a card show this Saturday, actually with
podcasts famous guest Shime Time. He'll be one of the
folks I'll be meeting there. On top of that, I
am going to be sending in some Pokemon cards to
get graded for the first time ever. So I'm like
four or five months into this Pokemon card journey here.
So now I've accumulated some cards I want to get graded.
(00:59):
And then I'm also going to bring cards Saturday that
I don't think are PSA ten worthy that I'll probably trade,
so I'm looking forward to them. I need a hobby,
you know, can't do the fucos anymore. It's fucking hard
to display these big ash boxes. So now we're onto
Pokemon cards. I'm enjoying it. However, I should stop spending money.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Two things. Have you considered building little wooden ships in
glass bottles?
Speaker 1 (01:21):
I have not considered that yet, so maybe once I'm
done with Pokemon cards, I'll move on to that good.
The issue with the grading the cards is it takes
like two months and it's twenty bucks of cards, so
you have to like really decide which cards you want
to send.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Thank you for letting me finish my thought. I said
two things. I only suggested one very serious thing of
building ships and glass bottles. My second question was how
many cards right now do you plan on having graded?
Speaker 1 (01:47):
I have about forty ish cards.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
You're sending forty in.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Forty Yeah, it was more I had, so I withered
it down right to like fifty ish, and then I
had to get a little more strict some down to
about forty ish. I might do another round real quick.
But when you're building it, it's a whole process. So
the way you gotta pack them, and you have to
pack them in the order of the way you clicked
on the PSA site, so it's got to be all
in order, and sometimes it takes longer than it should
(02:15):
define the actual card on the PSA site, So it's
it's a process.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
I'm gonna put the over under on Grade ten cards
at four and a half.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Four and a half out of forty.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Yeah, but it's gonna be the five that you don't
want to get tens on.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
I'm hoping so the cards I'm predominantly sending are the
ones that like improve and value the most as a ten, yes,
and I'm hoping for like twenty five twenty five.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Yeah, so that's what you're up to. Are you gonna
ask me about my right eye?
Speaker 1 (02:47):
I didn't really notice. Coo, what's happening with your right eye?
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Number one? Not conjunctivitis? Number two? Another styr is the
year of the sty It going to be a sty
Stummerti Stummer.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
What's going on in your life that you're so conducive
to stys? So?
Speaker 2 (03:07):
The first one horrible, The first one, like my eye
was shut. This one, I don't know what's going on.
It's not as bad, but you know, around the house.
I now have the nickname Chris in honor of Red Sox.
Second Basement's last utility man Chris Stein's.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
You're Your Wife obviously noted Sock's. A historian would know
that Christine's played for the Red Sox.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Was it Christine's or Ray Sanchez that got beamed in
the head.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
I also don't like the way you said, son.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
You know what, Christinees might have gotten hit in the
eye with a ball, which would then give him a
big red eye. That might have happened. I might be.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
I don't know if I've had one sty in my life,
never mind two in Stuy summer.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
The issue is that I'm always playing outside with my son,
so just dirt is getting in my eyes?
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Is that what causes sties?
Speaker 2 (03:59):
I don't know. I'm curious is how we bad?
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Eye guy?
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Yeah, we need an eye guy. We need a doctor
that listens to the show. But how often or how
bad is it to get smoke from the grill in
your eyes?
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Well as a person who occasionally that's smoke you in
their faces and eyes and lungs. It's not great. Stuff
are not great. I don't know if it would cause
a stye, though, you know what happens to me when
I'm exposed to smoke for probably longer.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
There should be my skin like because they're always smoking doobies.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Right Like, my forehead will break out. I just get
the skin gets real patchy, at least for me, and
then I'll be blowing black shit out of my nose
for two days. Goo. Now that I'm realizing this and
stumbling upon this whole eye thing, hashtag eyegate. You don't
wear glasses, don't need glasses. I don't wear glasses, don't
need glasses. You never had braces. I never had brains.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
I've had braces five times. I currently have braces.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
But you have braces in high school.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
I did. I had them in elementary, middle school, high school.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Always about how superior we are, but I forgot your inferior.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
I'm a step below you.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Is it painful? Described?
Speaker 2 (05:11):
This one isn't bad. The last one was terrible. This
one is horrible. I just wanted to bring it up
so the people touch isn't bad either. I don't want
to touch it too much to not get it infected again, though.
I just wanted to tell the people at home about it,
so they aren't watching this video right now, Like, what's
up with that ghoul sitting next to Mac?
Speaker 1 (05:29):
I don't think you can really notice it until now
that you've said it, now that I'm staring at your
right eye.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Would I be a complete lame?
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Would I be a complete squid? If I got barbecue
goggles that would cover my eyes while I'm grilling?
Speaker 1 (05:43):
How old are you grilling?
Speaker 2 (05:45):
I grill often, and I grill at a very high
level and a lot of smoke. It's in my face.
Would I look like who was it Brett Cecil from
the Blue Jays. He was a pitcher who wore reckless.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Yeah, I don't know. I don't think he wore rex back.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Would I look like that kid Graham from our Babe.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Ruth league he was on the Marlins.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Yeah, on your team? Yeah, you guys were the biggest
disappointment in Babe Ruth Hill. Oh. We had so much,
so much talent, and you guys sucked. You sucked.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
I hit like seven to fifty in my Baby Ruth
career and we didn't win one play.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
That's because we all cheated and used that McGregor bat.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
No, you, I didn't have that fucking bat you get
Every team had that bad No, Come on, come on,
I was I had, I had a drop three. I
forget what I had. I used I used that in
my last couple of years. I don't get me started
on Babe Ruth legit like every summer someone would go away.
We didn't even have enough players to field the team
my first year. I don't know the collection of talent
(06:40):
we had on the Babe Ruth Marlins from what two
thousand and two to two thousand and five or two
thousand and four. We were in Baby Ruth for three years,
So what it was.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
I don't know. I was only in it for one.
I only played one year of it.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
I used to rick doubles of the gap Goo. We
didn't have home run power back then. It was fucking
three hundred and forty feet the left field.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
We were speak for yourself, Speak for yourself, los dope.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
That was good. PSA talk mac over at McDonald's right now,
not only have they brought in the Hello Kitty TMNT
mashups for the happy Meals. Right now you can go
there us our age and order an adult happy meal.
And you might be thinking that sounds pretty sexy. What's
(07:23):
in it? Just a quarter pounder with cheese or a
ten piece McNugget with fries and a new Mount McDonald
shake and a collectible souvenir.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
So sorry, I'm a little confused. Yes, so an adult
happy meal. Yes, it's just like a regular meal meal,
except you get a collectible souvenir.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
You get a shake and a souvenir, and the souvenir
is just like it's a card a shake.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
How like, why am I gonna do a shake drinking?
I guess if you getting shake, you're just getting a shake.
You're not getting a meal and a shake.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Yeah, that's way way too much. How much of these
adult have I didn't really look into it. I just
saw it. I said, that's that's cute. Let me see
what's in it. Number one, they should have sex toys
in it. Number two, I got the anal beads. Number two.
They're all shaped like gremace. Or one is shaped like gremace,
(08:19):
one is mayor mccheese, one is Birdie. You know that Grimace.
They revealed what Grimace is and this would actually play
well with an adult happy meal. It's a taste bud.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
I don't like that.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
No, did the person who owns that taste bud have emphysema? Geez, louise,
I know that in mesothelioma. Anything that was given to
me is like, this is a class action lawsuit against it.
Have you been using your privates? Call this lawyer. I
(08:53):
was thinking that, like, the way to get people our
age to actually purchase this is like we have given
we have put in the box a handful of McDonald's
Happy Meal toys from the nineties. We're not gonna tell
you what they are, but it might be a Beatie Baby,
it might be a Furbye, it might be one of
those tiny tunes flippable cars.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
I want one of those glass cups from.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Oh Oh my God. But weren't those Burger King. I
feel like Burger King had the better cuffs.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
I was assuming McDonald's.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Well, Burger King had the big kids meals during the
time of Pokemon, the first movie card and a figure.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Yeah. Well now, McDonald's just did a Pokemon promo last
year before I was back into the Pokemon craze and
they had like five exclusive cards or something like that.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Yeah, so give me something from my childhood or I'm
not gonna jump into this nostalgic thing. I'm not eating
McDonald's anyways, but if you want to bring me in.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
This is sort of the new give me liberty or
give me death.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
That's that's exactly what it is. That's exactly what it is.
Said that Ronald McDonald's no, Ronald McDonald said that.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Oh, Patrick Henry, that's right, give me a you give
me death.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
News demp Over the weekend in Major League Baseball, let's
get a little sportsy, but it's entertainment wise as well.
It was MLB players weekend. The league allowed players to
show off some flair, show off some personality with custom
bats and cleats. Did you catch any of these cool bats?
Speaker 1 (10:21):
I saw some of the Red Sox players bats, but
I was not on the whole pay paying much attention
to players.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
We can, okay, I will ask you because some of
the bats it was like, you know, I saw someone
I think Jaron Duran had a stitch bat. Marcella Meyer,
who didn't even play, had a lightning McQueen bat Roman,
Anthony Roman Empire bat. Mac. What piece of flair would
you try and show off with your bat during this
player weekend?
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Well, I mean i'd probably in my current face, it'd
probably be Pokemon oriented, the original stuff, like I really
like the pencil eraser bats, the lightsaber bats like that. Shit.
Simple but effective.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
The lightsaber bats are kind of tell They're tough to
tell what they are unless you're really looking at them.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Though, yeah, because the handle's kind of covered. So yeah,
I get that part of it. But like, I just
like the idea. I also I'm wondering, like, why are
they allowed to like fuck with bats? You know what
I mean? They're so you know you can't do this,
you can't do that, And all of a sudden, now
I'm allowed to doctor my battle a little bit, I
(11:23):
might as well cork my player's weekend bat.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
You know, so your first thought is to show off
your personality. I want to cheat? Yes, well done. I
was thinking now, first off, you know, turtles, Batman something
like that. But you know what I thought would be
funny is if one player said, like, you know what
I'm really into off the field giant asses, and as
(11:45):
bat is just a giant ass.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
With a Brazilian flag.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
Yeah, why not?
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Now, how would you how would you orient the ass
on the bat to really emphasize that it's an ass
or ass cheeks?
Speaker 2 (11:59):
You know, that's a good point and that's something that
we'll need the people at home to tell us. How
do we do this comment in the comment section down
below on YouTube or hit us up on social media
at mac and gooop podcast. How do you put a
giant ass on a baseball? Bat Hew's Dope? Also, Hayden
Christiansen threw out the first pitch of a Cubs game
(12:19):
and the number that he wore on the back of
his jersey sixty.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Six Execute Order sixty six.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Supposed to Mac Mac, what number would you put on
the back of your jersey?
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Oh, come on it, just flip one of the sixes, you.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Know, pull a pull of Jared Allen.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Yeah, there you go. It's a good sixty nine.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Over at the box office over the weekend, same two
top spots as last weekend. Weapons twenty five million in
its second week, up to almost ninety million, domestic ninety
four eighty six on Roddy T's eighty one Meta Freaky
or Friday four Body Swaps made fourteen and a half
million in its second weekend fifty four point seven domestic
(13:01):
overall one ten actually, sorry, one ten domestic. You wrote
it different than how I do it? Worldwide one hundred
and sixty million dollars like.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Four words in there, the first one end up making
one ten domestic so this one maybe is tracking for
that first one made one hundred and sixty million worldwide,
So I think this is the goal for this movie here.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
I like to have random words and numbers and then
I can put it together in my head. I don't
like sentence structure. Sure, Sure, and it's opening weekend. Nobody
two made nine and a quarter. Nobody Won in twenty
twenty one, opened at six point eight million and made
twenty seven point five domestic almost sixty worldwide on a
sixteen million dollar budget. The budget on Nobody two is
(13:42):
twenty five million. I think it might have a tough
time hitting I think it will hit close to fifty
in its entire run. Yeah, but I think it's also
going to do really well streaming wise, because I'm not
sure if people look at this as an in theater movie.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Well, and also look at what it's up against. Right,
Like the seven movies we got listed here in box office,
we'll get to the next four, Fantastic Four, First Steps,
Bad Guys to Superman, The Naked Gun. They're all making
money at the box office currently, and five of the
seven if I haven't seen, I want to see, I
want to see weapons. I want to see nobody too.
I want to see The Naked Gun. So it's up
(14:19):
against pretty stiff competition for a movie that only made
fifty seven million the first time around. So yeah, I'm
guessing it'll get to fifty, maybe break even on its budget,
and find find a second audience streaming. But I am
a little surprised because Nobody in twenty twenty one came
out in a year that wasn't a great movie year.
We all liked it, and really we all saw it
(14:42):
and really liked it. It was better than any of us
had anticipated. So I'm a little surprised there wasn't more
fanfare leading up to this second one.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
I will say that nobody too. I've already seen it.
We'll talk about it at the end of the week.
Mac is seeing it after this.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Dump, trying to see it for a second time.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
It reminds me of John Wick one, where it's the
simplest of reasons of why he's doing stuff. There's no giant,
high table backstory. It's just this guy gets annoyed when
you fuck with this family. Yeah, nice and.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Easy, and it's like ninety minutes, right, eighty five minutes ideal.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
I was in a full theater when I saw it.
What an experience it was, people hooting, hollering, guffon. I
cackled at one point, maybe the loudest that I have
cackled since Harley Quinn Birds of Prey.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
I tried to see it last week, and I first
of all, I was the only one in the theater and.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
You wouldn't have had the same experience.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
As I walked locked in, there was like the screen
was like stuck on something. So I sat down. I
just got my large poopcorn, got a little wooder and
I'm sitting there like previous should be starting now, didn't happen.
Eat my popcorn. Fifteen minutes later, some representative from a
theater comes in. He's like, hey, we're having trouble playing
the movie, so we can't, Like, we can't play this movie.
(15:59):
What do you want to do? So he offered me
to walk into weapons twenty five minutes already into the movie,
or a refund. So I said, I guess I'll take
the refund. And then I'm just stuck with a large popcorn,
eating a large popcorn in my fucking car for twenty minutes,
getting popcorn everywhere, crying. So yeah, so I'll go back today.
Also the only person in the theater currently after I
(16:22):
bought the ticket, So we'll.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
See bringing up the rear over the weekend, Fantastic four
four steps eight point eight million, The Bad Guys two
seven point five million, Superman five point two million in
week six, and The Naked Gun Week three four point
eight million. You know what I saw over the weekend
mac the re release of the nineteen nineties teenage mutant
Ninja Turtles. I was in a full theater of everyone
wearing turtle garb, and I would say that everyone my age,
(16:48):
everyone our age, like roughly thirty two through I don't know,
like forty five. There are some older folks in there too,
locked in, hands on seat, ready to go, ready to
fucking hop into turtle Mania. All the five and six
year olds they weren't having it.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Yeah, it's also uh uh not dark thematically, it's just
an actual dark movie. So if you're hoping to rope
in kids and or you know, expand their imaginations, the
color palette in that movie is terrible, So it's like
it's hard to get to grasp a kid's attention when
you're just seeing really dark greens and blacks on the screen.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
I will say, though, and I've probably talked about this
in the past, the first time that Casey Jones ces
Splinter chained up against the fence and he looks at
him just goes all right, like all right, this is
this is my world now?
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Was there any special trinkets or memorabilities are given?
Speaker 2 (17:47):
And this is something that I'm gonna watch. But they
open the movie with a ten minute like special feature
of Hey, we're making this documentary about the first movie.
Here's ten minutes of it. And I'm like, my son
has an expiration date. Let's skip this and send me
a link and I'll watch it later. Because he doesn't
care how Steve barn decided, like the set list and
(18:09):
how he cut down the movie and how they didn't
shoot sixteen pages of the script. That's cool to me.
He doesn't give a shit.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
He also has no idea what a documentary is.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Yeah, news dope, people jump to this really quick.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Speaking of teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the live action TMNT
last ronin film is still in development at Paramount. The
film follows the lone surviving Turtle after his brothers and
Master Splinter are killed off one by one. The movie
will be rated R.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Is it gonna be animated or live action?
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Live action? Live action rated r TMNT.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
I'm in on that. I'm very much in on that.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
And like you've said, don't want to give too much away,
just the visual of one turtle with all four sets
of weapons.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
That's where it's a great, great concept.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
It's also an older turtle and with the mutation, has
grown beyond like what the smaller turtles are.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
Yeah, it's one of those things that if you're just
like a light fan of the Turtles, a casual fan,
and you know anything at all, like it ropes the
concept alone ropes you.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
In news DEMP terrible news, Matt, Christmas is canceled in
twenty twenty six because Shrek five has been delayed six
months to June thirtieth, twenty twenty seven.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
I mean, that's probably good because it's up against what
Dune Prophecy Doom Part three and an Avengers movie next December,
so that works out well for it.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
This also opened up a whole can of worms of
I saw it and I'm like, okay, this is kind
of news. But my boss, I work at a news station,
saw this and he's like, hey, do you see Shrek five?
Got pushed back and thinking that I would just have
like a one word answer. I talked about it for
a half an hour, and I think he thinks a
lot less of me.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Now, well, what is why is he? Why is he
striking up small talk with you over Shruck five?
Speaker 2 (19:59):
I thought it was like, hey, you see this movie
that I think you like? And then I'm like yeah,
And then someone brought up Shrek three. I'm correcting them.
They're talking about this, they're talking about that. Well, actually,
at one point he's like, how how long do a
donkey's living? I'm like thirty to forty years because I've
done so much donkey research. No one in the office
(20:19):
liked me saying the word donkey research. Sure, sure, I
might have been fired. I don't even know slippery slope.
You know you scroll one link too far and it's
not a video about you want to watch? Why were
you let go from your job? Shrek? Donkey rear, donkey
research news dope? You mentioned Avengers right now? It is
(20:42):
looking like Ryan Reynolds will return as Deadpool in Avengers Doomsday.
This is according to th R And then don't expect
him to actually join the Avengers team though, but then
Deadline had a contradicting report and said that he has
not been on set and will not be in these
two movies.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
So I don't know which one to believe, because it
does seem like naturally we're gonna be dealing with like
the Void and or Pocket universes, right, But also I
don't think Figy wants to hitch his wagon to Deadpool
and have to have Ryan Reynolds come back for six movies.
(21:23):
So I could see both sides to it. I think
he's gonna pop up, but I don't think he's gonna
have a major.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Let me throw this by you, And this was brought
up by The Weekly Planet Mister Sunday Movie on their
podcast of by Deadline saying he has not been on set.
Does the character of Deadpool show up but it's in
the costume and it's not him, it's just a guy
in the costume.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
And then Reynolds is just doing the voiceover, or.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
He just doesn't say anything. Maybe it's one of those things,
you know, how he opens the door in Deadpool too,
all the X Men that were in there and they
close the door. Yeah, maybe it's a call back to that.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Yeah, I don't know. This will be interesting. This will
be one that I truly don't know where it's gonna go.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
News DN Buck of Bolt is heading to Disney Plus
on August twenty seventh. If you haven't seen it, go
check it out.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Yeah, well worth watching. I think still in the top
five six seven movies of me for Me on the
year fun team up. You know it's it's good. It's
a very good movie.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
News DP mac James Gunn says, what does he say? Superman,
the movie that just came out this past year, has
been released on vod back on the fifteenth. The reason
why is because he wanted to get audiences ready for Peacemaker.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
You know that's fair, But he's got to realize no
one's spending twenty five bucks at home to watch this movie.
I'm guessing.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
But does that reveal that maybe Superman is in Peacemaker.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
No, I don't think that's the case, but I do
think so. Speaking of pocket universes, that little dimension that
we saw in Superman that we kind of get alluded
to in the first peace Maker season, that's gonna play
a part of it. I think some of the ramifications
are some of the background stuff that occurs in Superman
is addressed in Peacemaker.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
James Gunn says, what does he say that the treatment
is done for his next film. It is in the
Superman saga. He hopes to begin production very soon. This
is via THHR. James Gunn says, what does He says,
Harley Quinn will return. I'm sorry, Margot Robbie will return
as Harley Quinn in the DCU. That will be revealed
(23:29):
down the line. I'm sorry when asked, Okay, let me
do this again. When asked if Margot Robbie will return
as Harley Quinn in the DCU, he said, that will
be revealed down the line.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Oh, you really fucked yourself up on the wording of
this one.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Okay, he was asked about it.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
As much as she's been great as Harley Quinn, it's
not unlike the Ryan Reynolds situation is Deadpool? Do we
want to keep pitching our wagon? Is she going to
be up first? So she six movies is.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
The right age if they do brave and bold stuff
with that older Bruce Wayne.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
And totally she could very easily fit into James's gun movies.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
We saw it, saw it in the Suicide Squad. That
was probably her best showing.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Actually yeah yeah, so yeah, so she probably will be
back then.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Speaking of the Suicide Squad, James Gunn says, what does
he say? He's actively looking to bring back blood Sport
into the DCU.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
I liked blood Sport. I liked Blood Sports Tech more
than I liked Blood Sport, but I liked I liked
that character. I'm okay with that news do.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
Anthony Starr of course plays the character of Homelander on
The Boys. He is saying goodbye to it as they
are wrapping up their final season of the show.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
I think one of the top ten greatest television characters
of all time, truly menacing, iconic, and Anthony Starr has
been in stuff for twenty twenty five years as is,
but this has propelled him to another level. I think
you're going to see him as John Carl Esposito got
bumped with Breaking Bad, you know, and got take it
(24:59):
to a the level and got a ton of roles
from that. I think we're gonna see that with Anthony Starr.
I think we're going to see him get offered a
lot of these villainous roles because of his take on Homelander,
and I'm happy to see him do that.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Yeah, he said, it's difficult to put into words, but
this is truly a highlight in his career, A complicated
character that allowed him space and range to discover and
truly push boundaries in a way he never expected he
would be able to. And he is grateful for the experience.
We created a monster, and he will miss him. I
do think as long as gen V is going on, though,
(25:32):
if he's not killed off or whatever, he might still
pop up every once in a while.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
I would be surprised. Also if GENV, well, yeah, I
guess we'll have to see how GENV Season two goes.
I'm not expecting five six seasons from gen V. I guess,
is what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Speaking of gen V news, domp episodes one through three
will be available on September seventeenth, and then one episode
a week, finishing with its eighth on October twenty second.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Yeah, this has been a long time coming. Obviously, they
lost one of the cast members in between the shooting
of the seasons, so they had to account for that.
We saw two or three of the gen V characters
pop up at the end of the Boys season.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Five, Season four, Yes, five, Now whatever the last one was.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Yeah, whatever the last one was. So they're intertwining these
these stories, and I'll be interested to see how involved
Boys level stuff is. In gen V season two.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
There's Depp speaking of the Boys universe Vought Rising. We
got some stills for that. They'll begin production on that show,
I believe in the fall, so it should be available
sometime next year. One of the stills is Soldier Boy.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Yeah, we see Soldier Boy and like an army you know,
nineteen forties, fifties army green type of get up. And
if you are unfamiliar with this or not sure what
this is going to be, essentially it's like an origin
for Vought and Soldier Boy and Stormfront and some of
the characters we've already been introduced to that arena. It's
(27:07):
gonna build out sort of that underbelly of where Vot
came from, Vought Rising, and hopefully provide some awesome scenes.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Do you think it starts off with him being a
bit of a boy scout and then becoming jaded by
the end of either this season or show.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
I think it's gonna essentially be what if Captain America
was in frozen and ice for seventy years, right like
what if Captain America lived through the Cold War? Sort
of shit?
Speaker 2 (27:30):
You know, it was damp. Hayden christiansen earlier in the show,
and he said that he wants to do more Star
Wars projects in the Clone War's era, saying, I think
there are some fun stories to tell there, and if
it meant I got to swing a lightsaber with you
and McGregor again, that would be amazing. He said, is
that fan ex bo Boston.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
We just we can't. We can't. As much as Filoni
poured in to that era that like ten years that
took place during and between the second and third prequels,
you can't keep diving back into that, right. At some point,
we got to get away from Anakin, we got to
(28:11):
get away from Vader, we got to get away from
Obi Wan and establish new characters to tell stories with.
And they're they're efforting it, they're trying it, and I'm
happy to see Hayden christian pop up in Ahsoka stuff.
Then Ahsoka is a good avenue to expand the Star
Wars universe. But we're talking about galaxies multiple and we
(28:32):
keep going back to the same handful of characters, so
I don't really want to go back into Clone Wars
era death.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Ron Howard revealed the advice, the advice that he got
from George Lucas ahead of not making Solo a Star
Wars story because he took over from Lord and Miller,
and he actually said the Lord and Miller cut was good,
but the advice that he got from George Lucas was
just don't forget it's for twelve year old boys.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
This is where Lucas is losing it a little bit.
Star Wars in general, for sure, rights that's the age,
and you're aiming for Solo a Star Wars story is
made for twelve year old boys in nineteen eighty, right.
The people that wanted to see the Solo origin when
it came out were actually fifty years old, so you
(29:20):
could have given it. And I'm sure Ron Howard pulled
back and made it more kid friendly than maybe Lord
and Miller had, you know, conveyed originally. But they make
kids movies too, Lord and Miller, so I'm you know,
hindsight is hindsight. But the Lord and Miller cut is
something we'll always dream of and desire. And you and
(29:41):
I both thought Solo was like a thumbs up. It's
solid checklist. It was, it was good enough, but the
potential there was obviously very wasted.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Ron Howard worked with George Lucas way back in the seventies.
How about that American graffiti? Have you seen that?
Speaker 1 (29:59):
I have not seen?
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Good seventy five? He was dupe of Ron Howard in
the seventies. He planned to exit Happy Days if ABC
changed the title of the show to Phonsie's Happy Days.
He said he was perfectly ready to get off the show,
and he understood maximizing the popularity of Phonsie when trying
(30:24):
to promote the show, but if they went and changed
it and connected it to the character, he said, fuck you.
Then thank god that his bosses did not do that.
He later found out that Henry Winkler was also very
much against this.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
So this sort of speaks to why Ron Howard's kind
of a shitbag. But like he is self aware. He's
talking about how he shouldn't have had that attitude because
he wasn't the main character he thought he was. He wasn't.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Well. He started out as like he was the main
character in season one, and then midway through they're like, oh,
this guy with the other jacket, everyone loves him.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Ron Howard, by the way, is at his best interested development.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Easily a thousand Simpsons too. He's great as a guest
spot on The Simpsons.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
I don't know. I've never really cared for Ron Howard,
and maybe in large part because of this sort of attitude.
I don't know. He obviously doesn't feel this way anymore,
as he's telling us.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
He also left Happy Days maybe after season six or seven.
He didn't stick around for the whole run, but that's
also because the show was shifting away from him even
being like the main guy outside of Phonsie, and shifting
toward Chacchi.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
What was the original theme song?
Speaker 2 (31:36):
It was one two, three o'clock, four o'clock Rock seven
eight o'clock.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Wrong second theme song greater than oh yeah, greater.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
These days around Happy Days they might happy. I did
have a great conversation about Happy Days at work the
other day too, almost got fired for that one. People
are always like, h you have oh you know what
it was. It's because someone made the point of saying
Lavernon Shirley the show was better than Happy Days, and
(32:05):
I'm like, well, yeah, it was. But also keep in
mind on Happy Days, Phonsie jumped over a shark. It
was the best episode.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
Where does Three's Company fall amongst those?
Speaker 2 (32:15):
That's not a spinoff. We were talking about spinoffs from shows.
Got Lavernon Shirley's a spinoff from Happy Days. That's back
in the sixties seventies when you would have one idea
and then say, let's turn this into fifty ideas. That's
before they just rebooted every show.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Well, what what's what's the spinoff of all in the Family.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
It's like four of them. It's Maud, the Jeffersons, the Jeffersons.
There's a bunch of them.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
That's what I'm thinking of.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
Yeah, they created the whole Little Pocket universe. Yeah, Happy Days? Also,
did you had Happy Days? Laverne and Shirley, Mork and Mindy?
Jonny loves Chachi?
Speaker 1 (32:47):
Yeah, like Joni loves Chachi.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Gee, that didn't last long. How did Chachi feel about Joni?
We don't know, Well, actually we do know early part
early seasons of Happy Days, and maybe he fell out
of love, but he was obsessed with Joni. Who was
you know what chachi means in Greek. Probably like dickhead
or something means Penis. Don't fact check me, guys, it's close.
(33:09):
Don't fact check me. That's our happy days talk. Lots
of Ron Howard talk on News Dump this week news Dope.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
I'd like to do some Bryce Dallas Howard talk if
you wouldn't mind.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
Oh that's your favorite thing from Ron.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
You would probably get fire for that.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
A New World War Z film is now a priority
at Paramounts. This is via TCHR.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
I mean that movie is probably underrated. Came out in
what two thousand and eight with Brad Pitty ten eleven
somewhere in that window. It's underrated.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
It's good. I don't know, man, like what I just
I feel like we're past the z craze, right the zombie.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Thing is over with. Obviously, Twenty eight Years Later is
still my favorite movie of the year so far. But
it's like it's a human story set with.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
A zo were in a zombana sance right now.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
We' what's happening the Last of Us? But again, a
human story set against the zombie backdrop.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
Now you got it. We're in a zombana sance right now.
That's why Paramounts look at all these zombies Yeah, you
have to start it with the Cranberries, even though I'm
pretty sure that's about the Vietnam War. That's what it's about.
It's different, it's not about actual zombies. Ah. You know,
(34:27):
it's a great song.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Linger Ling lingers better her vocals and Linger are insane.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
Well, her vocals in general are just so unique. Yeah,
so we are still Cranberry's podcast. There was the last
like one or two episodes, but let it Linger.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
Also one of the original Goat Tiny Desk concerts. They
did it in like twenty ten or eleven.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
I feel like I've seen that, but I'm forgetting about it.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
Yeah, it's very low quality footage and she sounds unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
Stranger Things creators that Duffer Brothers are in Texas on
a massive overall deal with Paramount to make TV shows
and theatrical films. Of course, their Stranger Things show is
wrapping up by the end of this year.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
I don't know if I want to sign up these
brothers who were supposed to produce these four or five
seasons over like five or six years, and it's turned
into a decade. I don't know if I really want
to do that.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Well, that's because every episode has turned into a movie.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
Yeah, Like I don't I don't know if they should
be running things. They need someone to oversee them.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
And I understand, like the quality of their show has
gotten better over time.
Speaker 1 (35:37):
It went down for a second second.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
It started great, it remained really good, dipped for is
a really really good season. Four is an awesome season.
But yes, we do. And this is with every show.
We need to get it going. We need to get
it going. Yep, it was dope, but finally huge news
for mac Anna Faris and Regina Hall. We'll return in
(36:00):
the next installment of Scary Movie. The Scary Movie franchise.
Marlon Wayns has confirmed the news on Instagram. Regina Hall
and Anna Farris said, we can't wait to bring Brenda
and Cindy back to life, to be reunited with our
great friends Keenan, Sean and Marlon. Three men we had
literally die for and Brenda actually has.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
If you're talking like comedy duos of the last twenty
five thirty years, Brenda and Cindy, Anna Farris and Regina
Hall are pretty high on the list. They're the reason
why those movies worked.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
It's one of those things too, where like I talked
about last week. As a kid, you think that Bam
is the coolest part of Evila Bam, when in fact
it's actually Phil. As a kid, you're watching the scary
movies and you're like, Oh, it's the Waynes Brothers. It's
Sean and Marlon, that's what's keeping this going. No, it's
Regina Hall. Regina Hall is hilarious. And then also so
(36:56):
she's kind of doing her own thing. And then what
Anna faris is doing is like she's doing perfect Leslie Nielsen,
like spoofs of all of these horror movies.
Speaker 1 (37:06):
Yeah, and she's also like the dichotomy, to use a word,
between her and Hall's character, Hall recognizing the ridiculousness and
calling everything out and Anna faris not playing into it
all and thinking it's all so so real, and it's
like it's perfect. It's an absolute, perfect, perfect combo.
Speaker 2 (37:25):
You see how this final girl runs in this scene,
I want you to do it but funny and then
just carmit the frog arms that she's running away.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
I always thought, I don't remember who I saw it with,
but I remember in the first one, the bush Sheen
when he's got the chainsaw, when I was like eleven.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
You see what your dad? Yeah, probably because I've probably
said this on the podcast before, but seeing not another
teen movie in the theaters with my father was a
rough sit. That's a great spoof too, by the way,
it is it for sure is especially like the opening scene.
I'm pretty sure is uh Is Janey with the vibrator. Yeah,
(38:07):
that was that was interesting. He's got credits of my
dad for taking me to the movies, though, so.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
I'm sure he wanted to enjoy some popcorn.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
It's one of those things I'm guessing, but like he
had no idea what that movie was about, and then
he sits down, He's like, what in the world. I'm
sure he found it funny, he had a that's his
exact style of humor. Excuse credit to me for bringing
him to his exact style of humor, but he probably
had no idea what he was getting into.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
The only experience I ever had like that was at
home my mom, for whatever reason, really want to watch
Soul Plane. She had Yes, I know we were getting
into and that that's the only time. Once she made
that mistake, she was never making that mistake again. So
that's the only experience I have even remotely like that.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
We have a past episode of most Uncomfortable Movies that
we've watched with our parents. I don't know where it is.
I'll have to find it. We'll pull some clips from
that or something. But yeah, that was definitely one of them.
News Depp checks out at the end of the week.
We'll talk about movies.
Speaker 1 (39:10):
Yep, nobody too, maybe weapons, maybe a couple other things.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
