Speaker 1 (00:02):
From the theme park capital of.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
The World, Orlando, Florida. Is the Theme Park Podcast?
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Wait the podcast?
Speaker 4 (00:11):
Is this a radio?
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Why does everything gotta be so messy on this station?
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Anyway, here's your host, Dickerman, Jimmy D and Scott Harris.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
And hey there, welcome to the Theme Park Podcast. Dickerman.
Here there is Jimmy D.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
I smell worse than a tourist after an afternoon show.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
And Scott Harris, it's time to dund.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
That's it's a it's the Muppets and they're gone from
Hollywood Studios. Well did see the social media posts they
put out and it was all sad looking and it
was like them, you know, their backs and the end
of Muppet Vision three D.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Did you see that Jim Henson's daughter was the last
person to enter the theater for the last time.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
It's cool.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
I thought that was cool. That was a nice touch.
That is the last thing.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
The Muppets will still pop up in the park, right
like they would do that pomp up every once in
a while. Well, they still doing that.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
It's still the Muppet's still theme. Your favorite theme park restaurant,
Pizza Rizzo, No, that's gone. Sam, Sam the Eagles barbecue
at Epcot.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Oh, you know what, his barbecue was awesome the first time,
and it generally went downhill every time after that. I
still have really good and Jimmy, I don't recommend it.
I recommend if you would have tried it the first
time I had it, one hundred percent would have recommended.
After the third time, no recommendation.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
Yeah, but you know sometimes they write this ship, I'm
gonna give it a try.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
I highly recommend it burger with the barbecue on it.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
And I highly recommend the bar outside of it.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
There's a bar out there.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Are you talking about that little like gazebo there?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
It's behind that. No, this bar is. This bar is
attached to the building. It's just to the left of
the doors to get into the restaurant.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
How far from the funnel Cakes stand? Is it like
one hundred yards?
Speaker 2 (02:14):
It's the opposite side of the American experience stands good.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
I mean, you got you got one of two vices.
Either you got the bar or you got the funnel cakes.
And you know you fall into one of those categories.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Why generally, why can't I have both?
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Why not vote? I guess that's true. You can't have vote.
You are in the Americas, so why not indulge?
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Yeah, exactly, don't.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Don't pigeonhole the American way. I'll have both the booze
and the four thousand calories worth of funnel cake.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
Scott. I'm going to tell you right now, when you
go to Japan, they have their drink sizes are like
normal drink sizes, like probably what they should be. You want, Yeah,
if you want like the hundred ounce bladderbuster, you're gonna
have to go to America Town, you know how, Like
we have Chinatown here, and like like every major city
(03:12):
in America has a China. They have an America Town
in Tokyo, and that's the only place you're gonna get
your bladder buster.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Do they offer refills on their small drinks in Japan?
Speaker 4 (03:24):
You know, I don't think so. I think it was
like every like glass was its own price. Okay, but
all right, well you know that's that might be an
American thing again. In Japan, there is a there is
a a drink vending machine like every ten feet.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Okay, Well, if you're missing Muppet Vision three D, there's
still in a Muppet attraction in Central Florida.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
What is it?
Speaker 2 (03:53):
See if you guys can you guys don't know.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
They're not Muppets, right, They're not the Muppets.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
No, they're just popping It's which.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
On Sesame Street sometimes.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Yeah. And when Miss Picking and Kermit got married, Big
Bird and the rest of them were in the crowd.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Yeah, it's very confusing the way those two meshed together.
That's not it. What is the attraction.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Hollywood Rip Ride Rocket?
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Oh, because you can do that Muppet song on it.
You gotta you gotta do it. Fritz try to trick
me one time, like he was sending me the secret
code for a song. You know. I was like looking
for some metallic or slayer or something, and he sent
me the Muppets one.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Yep, yep, the Rainbow Connection. It's one of the secret songs.
So if you go get.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
On that thing soon before we have to go to.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Before exactly, we're gonna lose two Muppet attractions in one year.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Yeah, well, aren't they we isn't Muppets coming to uh
the Hollywood Studios.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Uh, it's going to to to the Aerosmith Rock and
Roller Coaster.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
Rock and Roll Rip Ride Rocket and the Rock and
Roller Coaster for the best. Really do you need to
cause confusion, Like now.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
We're gonna have neither. There's gonna be no rocking or
rolling at all anymore because Ripride Rocket's gone and rock
and roller coaster would be something Muppets.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Yeah, but they could still call it the Muppets rock
and roller Coaster.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
I don't know. I think they'll call it something else.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Well, I mean, if it's if they theme it to
like Doctor Teeth and the Electric Mayhem, that's banned.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Yeah, animal on the drums, animal on the drums, that's fine.
I mean, it's it's it's it's I'll be best to
you know, go ahead and cut times with Aerosmith at
this point.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
And I mean, the thing is they're gonna be replacing
Hollywood Rip Ride Rocket with another roller coaster, and yeah,
it looks like it's going to be a drifting coaster,
which is what they're getting at Universal Studios Hollywood. And
just today we saw concept video of what that ride
looks like and the ride vehicles are in the park
(05:58):
so you can see them.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Oh nice. I'm still surprised we didn't get a Taylor
Swift takeover on that rock and roller coaster situation.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Me too, as I said, if you want to combat
yeh epic universe, and the easiest way possible you pay
whatever licensing fee.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
Honestly, I think right now if they were to do that,
it would just cost such a problem with traffic into
Hollywood studios. She's almost too big. Yeah, yeah, you need
to create space for her and for that kind of experience.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
At her level. I think if somebody came and said, hey,
I want to make a roller coaster and name it after,
you'd be like, yeah, you can do it, no no charge,
or where do I sign? I got my own roller coaster, Yes,
thank you, I'll take that. Man.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
She just had to pay for her masters of her
early albums, that's true.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Yeah, but she played that like a gangster and got everything.
So I say good to her for.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Her very second.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
She could have bought him the first time around, right
when Big Machine was selling them, and she did. I
don't know why she. I think she had the capital
for it.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Yeah, she knew what she was doing.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
I think it's podcast here on real Radio, the tailor's
versions of all her albums. That was gangster, and it
forced that guy's hand. He's like, I gotta sell to
her before you know these fans burn my house down.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
And and she got to sell all of her songs
again to all the fans that went out and bottom.
So you get to just make more money.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
It's snaky in its tale basically. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
So yeah, that's uh but uh yesne park. Yeah, let's
get to that.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
There's construction walls now up. You cannot get into the
Muppets side of Disney Hollywood studios.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
So well you can't her last time in the park.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
You you cannot go over there.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Well I'm good, like said, you were physically cool.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
Yeah, but it'll be your last day in the park.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Is this like Bob's barricade situation? Is there guy like
a guy that puts up that has these wall and
Disney brings them in like with the cones for Bob's Barricade. No, No,
like the one guy.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Disney's got a warehouse with all their construction walls and
they bring them out if they are like certain kinds.
Otherwise they're trees. They will they're trees. They're the they're
the stands that have a tree on top of them.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Because I saw I.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
Saw green like wooden walls up in front of like
part of the section or the area.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Why don't they get their own barricades and cones? I mean,
why do they gotta go to Bob's is Bob's.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
They're not going to Bob You're the only one.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
I'm talking about the races. I'm talking about the races.
Like So, if they've got their own construction walls, like
Jimmy said, you got their own warehouse, why do they
go to Bob's barricades with the barricades because.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
These are only used, you know, four times a year.
These kind of construction ones are used a little bit
more frequently.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
Yeah, that's you're talking about a completely different thing. You're
talking about something you're trying to keep a human body
out of an area, versus a ro cone to show
you the path exactly.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
They're also to keep you out of the area so
we don't drive over it when you're with Crash and
it's dark out and we're going to Disney's Wife Old
Sports and he gets stuck under his truck and we
dragging along the whole way.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
So, but the thing is. Speaking of monsters, they released
new updated concept art of the monsters section of the
park Less Trees of the.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Hold On One more Time for Me so the Monster
section of Change gears a little too fast for his
you know, you advanced age, these things turn slow, buddy.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
So in a few years they're going to be opening
up a Monsters Inc. Section of Disney's Hollywood.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Studios Monsters Inc. Well, you know, it is a little
confusing because we just opened the Monster section over at Universal,
so I thought I might have fallen asleep for a
minute missed a section.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Still still with Hollywood studiosa enough, the concept art that
they released last year got updated to uh yesterday, less trees.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
It looks like less trees in the Monsters Inc. Yeah,
I think if they're learning anything from Universe, more trees.
Because people are complaining because it's too hot. It's trees.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
It is very hot in the celestial area of at
the Universe.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
That's been the one like gripe that I've seen is it's,
oh my god, there's no break from the sun. It
is so hot out here. Yes, a baby trees, but
baby trees don't get to be big trees for a
little while.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Still, it's somebody that will be there next week. Yes,
I'm planning accordingly, Yes, yeah, planning.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
Are you getting that sun hat with the fan that's
built into it. No, you're looking at me like I'm crazy.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
No, I know what you're talking about.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
A neck fan, have a neck fan. No.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
I was born and raised in Florida. I am I
am physically prepared for this heat. I went to eighteen
straight Warped tours. I know how to handle this.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
If you've been to Warped Tour, you are you are
pretty well seasoned.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
Yeah. I almost died of tour with the heat.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
I know what I'm I know what I'm doing with this.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Are you gonna be like that guy that took his
shirt off on the Jurassic Park ride and wash it
in the water then put it back onto cool off?
Speaker 4 (11:18):
I remember that. No, you don't want to touch that water.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Why would I do that?
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Put it all over his body?
Speaker 2 (11:26):
No, okay, that's an.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Innovative way to cool off.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
My question is will they move monsters inc laugh floor
from Magic Kingdom mm hmm to the Muppet Vision.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Three D theater? Oh? You think.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
If you look at the concept art Muppet Vision three D,
is that building is still there?
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Mm hmmm.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
And that's interesting.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Why wouldn't you have muppets or monsters in the monsters area?
Speaker 1 (12:01):
You keep the same, the same exact thing though the
same laugh floor. I mean, or do you do something different?
Speaker 4 (12:05):
Oh, you keep the concept, just updated, make it fresh,
because the laugh floor is really good. It's a really entertaining.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
My daughter was a little she loved that thing and
she always try and get the joke in and be
the kid picked. I mean that was I mean, it
was a beloved It is a beloved attraction in what I.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
Wore an Eddie the Shaman tied Die t shirt one
time to that and I was that guy, mm that guy,
and they gave me the sticker and I swear I
got bullied by all the kids leaving the place because
they were all yelling at me and how ugly I was.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Wow, it's funny that kids are so mean. Kids are
just cruel.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
But they're like they're like pointing and laughing and I'm laughing,
but I'm like thinking about it, I'm like, I just
got bully boa like six eight year olds.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
There's a single tear rolling down to his face. You
guys are so funny. I'm a man. You can't do
this to me.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Well, the thing is Disney Disney California Adventure just announced
a whole bunch of concept art for what they're going
to be doing in the future, which includes an Avatar
section and a Cocoa section.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
Okay, all right, I'm jealous of that Coco section.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
And part of it is that the Mike and Sully
to the Rescue dark ride that they have over there
will be closing. Bring those the animatronics here.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
I mean, that's that's an option. I still wouldn't mind
an upride. I know we have a few, we have
some up things over at Animal Kingdom, But how about
an upride like a dark ride?
Speaker 4 (13:39):
What does this upride look like to you? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (13:42):
There basically is one at Disney spread the.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Dogs by Alpha and the other dogs, and you know,
running through that old man I don't remember his name
that tries to kill you. A months could be that
whole that whole month, yeah, Charles months. Wait so wee situation.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Wait, let me get this straight. Your idea for an
up attraction is dogs chase you?
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (14:03):
You, I mean yeah, who doesn't run?
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Well, No, you're on a ride vehicle and you're with Doug.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Oh you didn't say it was a You just said
you run away from dogs.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
No, dogs should catch me and bite me.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
I hope.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
It's not a pack of pit.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
No, they're like Dobermans. He's got a bunch of different
kinds of dogs.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
He does a pack of chiaha is to catch you.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
You're not wrong. I'm not gonna argue that.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
And with the amount of taco bellue and jest, you're
gonna be.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Something with the balloon. We could do something with the balloon.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
They have that basically at Disney Springs.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
I know that that thing, but I you know, I
want I want, you know, something, something more happening. You know,
I'm not an imagineer. I'm not the one that's gonna
come up with a theme for the ride. I just
want to upride and uh, that'd be great if we
can go ahead and get that done.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Yeah, and I want a Wally ride. But you don't
hear me coming up with ideas.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Okay, well, I mean it's outride would be cool too.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
I've been we've been saying that they had a pavilion
called the Wonders of Life with a attraction called Cranium Command,
which is proto.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Inside out pretty much.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Yeah, you're right, and that building is vacant.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Yeah, let's let's get to work. Guys. What are we doing.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
I mean, speaking of vacant buildings, Leland Stootch is probably
gonna make a billion dollars at the box office. In
the U. Stitch great Escape thing hasn't been used in
like ten years.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
They could probably just turn the lights on and let
it get get to town, get going.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
Uh they can't. They still use that room as like
an employee break room, and Stitch is still there, but
all of his skin is gone, so he just he
kind of looks like stripe at the end of the
first Gremlins movie when he sees the sun and he
(15:56):
just he's grotesque.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Oh, I though you're gonna say he looks like the
Xeno more for Noe from when it used to be
Alien Encounter.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
No, imagine a metal skeleton of Stitch. Oh, like you
could google search and find it. It's a it's nightmare fuel.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Oh my god, I could have some rubber landing around.
I think it's re rewrap him. Oh my god, I
have the vinyl wrap on that guy. I'll be get
to go.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
I have the.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Perfect segue right now. So wait, he's like a metal
a metal skeleton kind of like a T one thousand.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
Yes, if T one thousand was stitch?
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Yes or sorry that T eight sorry a T eight hundred.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Where are we going with this?
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Well, there's a new movie coming out later this year
called Megan two point zero.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Yes, I saw you seen the video right? You have
you seen the video of a Universal of what I
think it was in Hollywood.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Of the Megan Horde that is in front of the
horror makeup show at Universal Studios Orlando. Yes, it was great, Yes,
I have. I can't wait to go there and see
this in person. They will be there for the next
few weeks.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Is it just random? And do they just show up
at random times and start doing doing their thing? Yep,
that's great, that's great. If you haven't seen it, we
should put it on our Instagram. I guess we can
share it. I don't know. I mean, don't don't ask
me to put an effort in here, but just say it.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
No comment now, I know.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
I know he's being real.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
You're honest.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
I'm honest, and I'm not gonna pretend I don't do something.
But yeah I don't.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
But yeah, Megan is uh uh in the park.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
That's pretty Yeah, that looks really cool. Yeah, so uh
uh okay check it out on social media, maybe our channel.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
And I can't wait to see that movie.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
I don't know how I feel about it, like I
like the first one, and I don't know how I
feel about the new one.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Do you like Terminator to Judgment Day?
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Yes? I do.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
That's what this movie is.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
He's not wrong.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
That's literally the plots of the movie. Okay, all right,
And if you liked season one of Ahsoka, the bad
Robot is the villain one of the villains from season
one of Ahsoka, Okay you didn't?
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Still working my way through, uh and.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Or different show.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
I know, I'm just a star Wars shows a lot.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Of one has jedis one doesn't.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
Did you see Natalie Portman's coming back for season two
of that'hsoka?
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Really?
Speaker 4 (18:32):
Yeah, she's playing a different character. She's not playing Padme.
I know Scott's over there rolling his eyes. But there's
the father, the son, and the daughter, and I'm pretty
sure she's playing the daughter.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
I'm just I'm over I'm over fan service stuff. I'm just.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
I'm just no, Scott is over the fans getting what
they want. He doesn't like that anymore. He doesn't want
what he does, not want you to have what you want.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
It's not good storytelling.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
It's not I mean, can we go back all the
time and make Luke Skywalker a badass and the new
movies instead of the grumpy old man that drinks gross
milk and doesn't do anything.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
It saves the rebellion at the end of Last Jedi.
What are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (19:20):
He was supposed to be the biggest, the best, and
the baddest and he's just some grumpy old man.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
And he did that from a different planet.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
Scott now a little too little, too late to Yeah,
and the way he was killed breaks my heart. I
cannot wait for AI to come and become a real
full fledge entertainment thing because I will fix that movie.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Well, well, good luck with that, because Walt Disney Studios
is suing AI companies. Oh they are, Yes, it's it's piracy.
You're stealing intellectual property. You are. That's it's plain as day,
that's what it is.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
The genie's out of the bottle. They can try, but
I don't know that they're going to be able to
pull this thing back in at this point. It's it's
it's almost like when Napster took off, and you know,
everybody's like, we got to stop. We're not getting paid.
The genie got out of the bottle and they could
never put it back in.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Yeah, but there might be Yeah, but deep faking can
have like long term ramifications more than stealing songs can.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
I know, But it's a new world. It's a new world,
and who knows what's gonna happen.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
Scott, You're manual trying to put toothpaste back in a tooth.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Hey, not not my responsibility to figure out how to
do that. I just sit here.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Until they can try. They can give it their best effort,
but man, these these tools that are available to just
every day Joe's now forgetting.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
And honestly, really, what what is going to come of
this is they're not going to be able to stop AI.
But what they're doing is going to put guardrails up.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
For AI, so which it needs indeds. Otherwise we are
right back at terminator two. Touchment and what we really need.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
Gonna be able to You're never gonna be able to
tell what's real exactly.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
That's the problem.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
And the other problem is we need to stop letting
reddit uh great movies because that's uh the problem we've
had with a lot of movies. Recently read it's a cesspool. Well,
you watch a certain superhero movie that came out last summer,
and that movie was basically just fan theoried from Reddit.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Somebody remind me what came out last summer.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
Yeah, I don't know which one. He's dead Pool. Oh
that was fantastic though.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Yeah. I enjoyed that they did a good job. Good
job Reddit.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Yeah, except every scene had like an applause break. It
was like built in for it.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
M Yeah, I mean, and well deserved.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
That's not That's not how movies work, Scott.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
That's how that one worked.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
Yeah, And I'm very glad this that has those applause
breaks because I still applause. I still clap.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Hopeful for Superman, Guys. I know it's not gonna be
anything like Deadpool versus Wolverine, but it's just it's a
superhero movie I'm hopeful for.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
There's a dog in it.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Yeah, yeah, Crypto.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
Yeah. I've been trying to find a T shirt with
Crypto on it. I just want Crypto. I don't want
like a bunch of like goofy like graphic design around it.
Just the dog. Yeah, I'm sure right, exactly like my
Cosmo shirt it is just Cosmo. There's it doesn't say
Guardians of the Galaxy Volume three on it just Cosmo.
That's it.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Yeah, a crypto come, it'll come.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Yeah, it'll be it'll be a hot topic in like
two weeks probably.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Yeah. And in the movie doesn't do well, just wait
two more weeks and it's in the clearance bin for
buy one, get two free.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
No, we need that movie to do well. For the
love of everything, we need that movie to do well.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
I want it to I want it to do well.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
The thing that's scaring me about this movie is it's
James Gun and he has had so many hits in
a row. He's due for a turd.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Yeah, except he The thing is he knows what he's
doing with all of his movies.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Like I know, I know, But Scorsese's had his turds,
so is Spielberg. I mean, it can happen.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
But I mean here's the thing. Him being in charge
of that division and this being the first movie of
what they want to do, it can't fail. Like it's
it's literally that, like you're talking about like Scorsese and
stuff like that, Like this is almost an industry relying
(23:27):
on this movie.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
DC has bet their house on James Gun to make
a good movie.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Not only them, Marvel as well.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
DC is so snake bit too, Like it's just so
hard to get multiple DC movies and any of their
franchises to be good more than one movie.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Now's the time to strike because Marvel's been stumbling so much.
Now's the time for them to strike and knock it
out of the park. I mean, they're gonna do it.
This is the time.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
July is the most important month for two studios. Yeah,
it's Superman has to do well in Fantastic four half
to do well.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
That's true.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
Yeah, look at Marvel, Marvel at the farm on Fantastic four.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Can I very quickly give a pro tip before we
wrap up the show, Yes, please bring a towel if

Wait the podcast?

Speaker 3 (00:14):
Anyway, here's your host, Dickerman, Jimmy D and Scott Harris.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
And hey there, welcome to the Theme Park Podcast. Dickerman.
Here there is Jimmy D.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
I smell worse than a tourist after an afternoon show.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
And Scott Harris, it's time to dund.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
That's it's a it's the Muppets and they're gone from
Hollywood Studios. Well did see the social media posts they
put out and it was all sad looking and it
was like them, you know, their backs and the end
of Muppet Vision three D.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Did you see that Jim Henson's daughter was the last
person to enter the theater for the last time.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
It's cool.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
I thought that was cool. That was a nice touch.
That is the last thing.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
The Muppets will still pop up in the park, right
like they would do that pomp up every once in
a while. Well, they still doing that.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
It's still the Muppet's still theme. Your favorite theme park restaurant,
Pizza Rizzo, No, that's gone. Sam, Sam the Eagles barbecue
at Epcot.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Oh, you know what, his barbecue was awesome the first time,
and it generally went downhill every time after that. I
still have really good and Jimmy, I don't recommend it.
I recommend if you would have tried it the first
time I had it, one hundred percent would have recommended.
After the third time, no recommendation.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
Yeah, but you know sometimes they write this ship, I'm
gonna give it a try.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
I highly recommend it burger with the barbecue on it.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
And I highly recommend the bar outside of it.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
There's a bar out there.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Are you talking about that little like gazebo there?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
It's behind that. No, this bar is. This bar is
attached to the building. It's just to the left of
the doors to get into the restaurant.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
How far from the funnel Cakes stand? Is it like
one hundred yards?
Speaker 2 (02:14):
It's the opposite side of the American experience stands good.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
I mean, you got you got one of two vices.
Either you got the bar or you got the funnel cakes.
And you know you fall into one of those categories.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Why generally, why can't I have both?
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Why not vote? I guess that's true. You can't have vote.
You are in the Americas, so why not indulge?
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Yeah, exactly, don't.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Don't pigeonhole the American way. I'll have both the booze
and the four thousand calories worth of funnel cake.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
Scott. I'm going to tell you right now, when you
go to Japan, they have their drink sizes are like
normal drink sizes, like probably what they should be. You want, Yeah,
if you want like the hundred ounce bladderbuster, you're gonna
have to go to America Town, you know how, Like
we have Chinatown here, and like like every major city
(03:12):
in America has a China. They have an America Town
in Tokyo, and that's the only place you're gonna get
your bladder buster.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Do they offer refills on their small drinks in Japan?
Speaker 4 (03:24):
You know, I don't think so. I think it was
like every like glass was its own price. Okay, but
all right, well you know that's that might be an
American thing again. In Japan, there is a there is
a a drink vending machine like every ten feet.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Okay, Well, if you're missing Muppet Vision three D, there's
still in a Muppet attraction in Central Florida.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
What is it?
Speaker 2 (03:53):
See if you guys can you guys don't know.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
They're not Muppets, right, They're not the Muppets.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
No, they're just popping It's which.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
On Sesame Street sometimes.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Yeah. And when Miss Picking and Kermit got married, Big
Bird and the rest of them were in the crowd.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Yeah, it's very confusing the way those two meshed together.
That's not it. What is the attraction.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Hollywood Rip Ride Rocket?
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Oh, because you can do that Muppet song on it.
You gotta you gotta do it. Fritz try to trick
me one time, like he was sending me the secret
code for a song. You know. I was like looking
for some metallic or slayer or something, and he sent
me the Muppets one.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Yep, yep, the Rainbow Connection. It's one of the secret songs.
So if you go get.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
On that thing soon before we have to go to.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Before exactly, we're gonna lose two Muppet attractions in one year.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Yeah, well, aren't they we isn't Muppets coming to uh
the Hollywood Studios.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Uh, it's going to to to the Aerosmith Rock and
Roller Coaster.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
Rock and Roll Rip Ride Rocket and the Rock and
Roller Coaster for the best. Really do you need to
cause confusion, Like now.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
We're gonna have neither. There's gonna be no rocking or
rolling at all anymore because Ripride Rocket's gone and rock
and roller coaster would be something Muppets.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Yeah, but they could still call it the Muppets rock
and roller Coaster.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
I don't know. I think they'll call it something else.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Well, I mean, if it's if they theme it to
like Doctor Teeth and the Electric Mayhem, that's banned.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Yeah, animal on the drums, animal on the drums, that's fine.
I mean, it's it's it's it's I'll be best to
you know, go ahead and cut times with Aerosmith at
this point.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
And I mean, the thing is they're gonna be replacing
Hollywood Rip Ride Rocket with another roller coaster, and yeah,
it looks like it's going to be a drifting coaster,
which is what they're getting at Universal Studios Hollywood. And
just today we saw concept video of what that ride
looks like and the ride vehicles are in the park
(05:58):
so you can see them.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Oh nice. I'm still surprised we didn't get a Taylor
Swift takeover on that rock and roller coaster situation.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Me too, as I said, if you want to combat
yeh epic universe, and the easiest way possible you pay
whatever licensing fee.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
Honestly, I think right now if they were to do that,
it would just cost such a problem with traffic into
Hollywood studios. She's almost too big. Yeah, yeah, you need
to create space for her and for that kind of experience.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
At her level. I think if somebody came and said, hey,
I want to make a roller coaster and name it after,
you'd be like, yeah, you can do it, no no charge,
or where do I sign? I got my own roller coaster, Yes,
thank you, I'll take that. Man.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
She just had to pay for her masters of her
early albums, that's true.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Yeah, but she played that like a gangster and got everything.
So I say good to her for.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Her very second.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
She could have bought him the first time around, right
when Big Machine was selling them, and she did. I
don't know why she. I think she had the capital
for it.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Yeah, she knew what she was doing.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
I think it's podcast here on real Radio, the tailor's
versions of all her albums. That was gangster, and it
forced that guy's hand. He's like, I gotta sell to
her before you know these fans burn my house down.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
And and she got to sell all of her songs
again to all the fans that went out and bottom.
So you get to just make more money.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
It's snaky in its tale basically. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
So yeah, that's uh but uh yesne park. Yeah, let's
get to that.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
There's construction walls now up. You cannot get into the
Muppets side of Disney Hollywood studios.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
So well you can't her last time in the park.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
You you cannot go over there.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Well I'm good, like said, you were physically cool.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
Yeah, but it'll be your last day in the park.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Is this like Bob's barricade situation? Is there guy like
a guy that puts up that has these wall and
Disney brings them in like with the cones for Bob's Barricade. No, No,
like the one guy.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Disney's got a warehouse with all their construction walls and
they bring them out if they are like certain kinds.
Otherwise they're trees. They will they're trees. They're the they're
the stands that have a tree on top of them.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Because I saw I.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
Saw green like wooden walls up in front of like
part of the section or the area.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Why don't they get their own barricades and cones? I mean,
why do they gotta go to Bob's is Bob's.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
They're not going to Bob You're the only one.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
I'm talking about the races. I'm talking about the races.
Like So, if they've got their own construction walls, like
Jimmy said, you got their own warehouse, why do they
go to Bob's barricades with the barricades because.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
These are only used, you know, four times a year.
These kind of construction ones are used a little bit
more frequently.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
Yeah, that's you're talking about a completely different thing. You're
talking about something you're trying to keep a human body
out of an area, versus a ro cone to show
you the path exactly.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
They're also to keep you out of the area so
we don't drive over it when you're with Crash and
it's dark out and we're going to Disney's Wife Old
Sports and he gets stuck under his truck and we
dragging along the whole way.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
So, but the thing is. Speaking of monsters, they released
new updated concept art of the monsters section of the
park Less Trees of the.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Hold On One more Time for Me so the Monster
section of Change gears a little too fast for his
you know, you advanced age, these things turn slow, buddy.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
So in a few years they're going to be opening
up a Monsters Inc. Section of Disney's Hollywood.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Studios Monsters Inc. Well, you know, it is a little
confusing because we just opened the Monster section over at Universal,
so I thought I might have fallen asleep for a
minute missed a section.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Still still with Hollywood studiosa enough, the concept art that
they released last year got updated to uh yesterday, less trees.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
It looks like less trees in the Monsters Inc. Yeah,
I think if they're learning anything from Universe, more trees.
Because people are complaining because it's too hot. It's trees.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
It is very hot in the celestial area of at
the Universe.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
That's been the one like gripe that I've seen is it's,
oh my god, there's no break from the sun. It
is so hot out here. Yes, a baby trees, but
baby trees don't get to be big trees for a
little while.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Still, it's somebody that will be there next week. Yes,
I'm planning accordingly, Yes, yeah, planning.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
Are you getting that sun hat with the fan that's
built into it. No, you're looking at me like I'm crazy.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
No, I know what you're talking about.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
A neck fan, have a neck fan. No.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
I was born and raised in Florida. I am I
am physically prepared for this heat. I went to eighteen
straight Warped tours. I know how to handle this.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
If you've been to Warped Tour, you are you are
pretty well seasoned.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
Yeah. I almost died of tour with the heat.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
I know what I'm I know what I'm doing with this.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Are you gonna be like that guy that took his
shirt off on the Jurassic Park ride and wash it
in the water then put it back onto cool off?
Speaker 4 (11:18):
I remember that. No, you don't want to touch that water.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Why would I do that?
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Put it all over his body?
Speaker 2 (11:26):
No, okay, that's an.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Innovative way to cool off.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
My question is will they move monsters inc laugh floor
from Magic Kingdom mm hmm to the Muppet Vision.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Three D theater? Oh? You think.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
If you look at the concept art Muppet Vision three D,
is that building is still there?
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Mm hmmm.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
And that's interesting.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Why wouldn't you have muppets or monsters in the monsters area?
Speaker 1 (12:01):
You keep the same, the same exact thing though the
same laugh floor. I mean, or do you do something different?
Speaker 4 (12:05):
Oh, you keep the concept, just updated, make it fresh,
because the laugh floor is really good. It's a really entertaining.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
My daughter was a little she loved that thing and
she always try and get the joke in and be
the kid picked. I mean that was I mean, it
was a beloved It is a beloved attraction in what I.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
Wore an Eddie the Shaman tied Die t shirt one
time to that and I was that guy, mm that guy,
and they gave me the sticker and I swear I
got bullied by all the kids leaving the place because
they were all yelling at me and how ugly I was.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Wow, it's funny that kids are so mean. Kids are
just cruel.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
But they're like they're like pointing and laughing and I'm laughing,
but I'm like thinking about it, I'm like, I just
got bully boa like six eight year olds.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
There's a single tear rolling down to his face. You
guys are so funny. I'm a man. You can't do
this to me.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Well, the thing is Disney Disney California Adventure just announced
a whole bunch of concept art for what they're going
to be doing in the future, which includes an Avatar
section and a Cocoa section.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
Okay, all right, I'm jealous of that Coco section.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
And part of it is that the Mike and Sully
to the Rescue dark ride that they have over there
will be closing. Bring those the animatronics here.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
I mean, that's that's an option. I still wouldn't mind
an upride. I know we have a few, we have
some up things over at Animal Kingdom, But how about
an upride like a dark ride?
Speaker 4 (13:39):
What does this upride look like to you? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (13:42):
There basically is one at Disney spread the.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
Dogs by Alpha and the other dogs, and you know,
running through that old man I don't remember his name
that tries to kill you. A months could be that
whole that whole month, yeah, Charles months. Wait so wee situation.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Wait, let me get this straight. Your idea for an
up attraction is dogs chase you?
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (14:03):
You, I mean yeah, who doesn't run?
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Well, No, you're on a ride vehicle and you're with Doug.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Oh you didn't say it was a You just said
you run away from dogs.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
No, dogs should catch me and bite me.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
I hope.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
It's not a pack of pit.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
No, they're like Dobermans. He's got a bunch of different
kinds of dogs.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
He does a pack of chiaha is to catch you.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
You're not wrong. I'm not gonna argue that.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
And with the amount of taco bellue and jest, you're
gonna be.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Something with the balloon. We could do something with the balloon.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
They have that basically at Disney Springs.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
I know that that thing, but I you know, I
want I want, you know, something, something more happening. You know,
I'm not an imagineer. I'm not the one that's gonna
come up with a theme for the ride. I just
want to upride and uh, that'd be great if we
can go ahead and get that done.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Yeah, and I want a Wally ride. But you don't
hear me coming up with ideas.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Okay, well, I mean it's outride would be cool too.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
I've been we've been saying that they had a pavilion
called the Wonders of Life with a attraction called Cranium Command,
which is proto.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Inside out pretty much.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Yeah, you're right, and that building is vacant.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Yeah, let's let's get to work. Guys. What are we doing.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
I mean, speaking of vacant buildings, Leland Stootch is probably
gonna make a billion dollars at the box office. In
the U. Stitch great Escape thing hasn't been used in
like ten years.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
They could probably just turn the lights on and let
it get get to town, get going.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
Uh they can't. They still use that room as like
an employee break room, and Stitch is still there, but
all of his skin is gone, so he just he
kind of looks like stripe at the end of the
first Gremlins movie when he sees the sun and he
(15:56):
just he's grotesque.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Oh, I though you're gonna say he looks like the
Xeno more for Noe from when it used to be
Alien Encounter.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
No, imagine a metal skeleton of Stitch. Oh, like you
could google search and find it. It's a it's nightmare fuel.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Oh my god, I could have some rubber landing around.
I think it's re rewrap him. Oh my god, I
have the vinyl wrap on that guy. I'll be get
to go.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
I have the.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Perfect segue right now. So wait, he's like a metal
a metal skeleton kind of like a T one thousand.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
Yes, if T one thousand was stitch?
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Yes or sorry that T eight sorry a T eight hundred.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Where are we going with this?
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Well, there's a new movie coming out later this year
called Megan two point zero.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Yes, I saw you seen the video right? You have
you seen the video of a Universal of what I
think it was in Hollywood.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Of the Megan Horde that is in front of the
horror makeup show at Universal Studios Orlando. Yes, it was great, Yes,
I have. I can't wait to go there and see
this in person. They will be there for the next
few weeks.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Is it just random? And do they just show up
at random times and start doing doing their thing? Yep,
that's great, that's great. If you haven't seen it, we
should put it on our Instagram. I guess we can
share it. I don't know. I mean, don't don't ask
me to put an effort in here, but just say it.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
No comment now, I know.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
I know he's being real.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
You're honest.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
I'm honest, and I'm not gonna pretend I don't do something.
But yeah I don't.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
But yeah, Megan is uh uh in the park.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
That's pretty Yeah, that looks really cool. Yeah, so uh
uh okay check it out on social media, maybe our channel.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
And I can't wait to see that movie.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
I don't know how I feel about it, like I
like the first one, and I don't know how I
feel about the new one.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Do you like Terminator to Judgment Day?
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Yes? I do.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
That's what this movie is.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
He's not wrong.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
That's literally the plots of the movie. Okay, all right,
And if you liked season one of Ahsoka, the bad
Robot is the villain one of the villains from season
one of Ahsoka, Okay you didn't?
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Still working my way through, uh and.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Or different show.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
I know, I'm just a star Wars shows a lot.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Of one has jedis one doesn't.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
Did you see Natalie Portman's coming back for season two
of that'hsoka?
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Really?
Speaker 4 (18:32):
Yeah, she's playing a different character. She's not playing Padme.
I know Scott's over there rolling his eyes. But there's
the father, the son, and the daughter, and I'm pretty
sure she's playing the daughter.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
I'm just I'm over I'm over fan service stuff. I'm just.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
I'm just no, Scott is over the fans getting what
they want. He doesn't like that anymore. He doesn't want
what he does, not want you to have what you want.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
It's not good storytelling.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
It's not I mean, can we go back all the
time and make Luke Skywalker a badass and the new
movies instead of the grumpy old man that drinks gross
milk and doesn't do anything.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
It saves the rebellion at the end of Last Jedi.
What are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (19:20):
He was supposed to be the biggest, the best, and
the baddest and he's just some grumpy old man.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
And he did that from a different planet.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
Scott now a little too little, too late to Yeah,
and the way he was killed breaks my heart. I
cannot wait for AI to come and become a real
full fledge entertainment thing because I will fix that movie.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Well, well, good luck with that, because Walt Disney Studios
is suing AI companies. Oh they are, Yes, it's it's piracy.
You're stealing intellectual property. You are. That's it's plain as day,
that's what it is.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
The genie's out of the bottle. They can try, but
I don't know that they're going to be able to
pull this thing back in at this point. It's it's
it's almost like when Napster took off, and you know,
everybody's like, we got to stop. We're not getting paid.
The genie got out of the bottle and they could
never put it back in.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Yeah, but there might be Yeah, but deep faking can
have like long term ramifications more than stealing songs can.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
I know, But it's a new world. It's a new world,
and who knows what's gonna happen.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
Scott, You're manual trying to put toothpaste back in a tooth.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Hey, not not my responsibility to figure out how to
do that. I just sit here.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Until they can try. They can give it their best effort,
but man, these these tools that are available to just
every day Joe's now forgetting.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
And honestly, really, what what is going to come of
this is they're not going to be able to stop AI.
But what they're doing is going to put guardrails up.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
For AI, so which it needs indeds. Otherwise we are
right back at terminator two. Touchment and what we really need.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
Gonna be able to You're never gonna be able to
tell what's real exactly.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
That's the problem.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
And the other problem is we need to stop letting
reddit uh great movies because that's uh the problem we've
had with a lot of movies. Recently read it's a cesspool. Well,
you watch a certain superhero movie that came out last summer,
and that movie was basically just fan theoried from Reddit.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Somebody remind me what came out last summer.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
Yeah, I don't know which one. He's dead Pool. Oh
that was fantastic though.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Yeah. I enjoyed that they did a good job. Good
job Reddit.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Yeah, except every scene had like an applause break. It
was like built in for it.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
M Yeah, I mean, and well deserved.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
That's not That's not how movies work, Scott.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
That's how that one worked.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
Yeah, And I'm very glad this that has those applause
breaks because I still applause. I still clap.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Hopeful for Superman, Guys. I know it's not gonna be
anything like Deadpool versus Wolverine, but it's just it's a
superhero movie I'm hopeful for.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
There's a dog in it.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Yeah, yeah, Crypto.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
Yeah. I've been trying to find a T shirt with
Crypto on it. I just want Crypto. I don't want
like a bunch of like goofy like graphic design around it.
Just the dog. Yeah, I'm sure right, exactly like my
Cosmo shirt it is just Cosmo. There's it doesn't say
Guardians of the Galaxy Volume three on it just Cosmo.
That's it.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Yeah, a crypto come, it'll come.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Yeah, it'll be it'll be a hot topic in like
two weeks probably.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Yeah. And in the movie doesn't do well, just wait
two more weeks and it's in the clearance bin for
buy one, get two free.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
No, we need that movie to do well. For the
love of everything, we need that movie to do well.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
I want it to I want it to do well.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
The thing that's scaring me about this movie is it's
James Gun and he has had so many hits in
a row. He's due for a turd.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Yeah, except he The thing is he knows what he's
doing with all of his movies.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Like I know, I know, But Scorsese's had his turds,
so is Spielberg. I mean, it can happen.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
But I mean here's the thing. Him being in charge
of that division and this being the first movie of
what they want to do, it can't fail. Like it's
it's literally that, like you're talking about like Scorsese and
stuff like that, Like this is almost an industry relying
(23:27):
on this movie.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
DC has bet their house on James Gun to make
a good movie.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Not only them, Marvel as well.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
DC is so snake bit too, Like it's just so
hard to get multiple DC movies and any of their
franchises to be good more than one movie.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Now's the time to strike because Marvel's been stumbling so much.
Now's the time for them to strike and knock it
out of the park. I mean, they're gonna do it.
This is the time.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
July is the most important month for two studios. Yeah,
it's Superman has to do well in Fantastic four half
to do well.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
That's true.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
Yeah, look at Marvel, Marvel at the farm on Fantastic four.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Can I very quickly give a pro tip before we
wrap up the show, Yes, please bring a towel if
you go to Volcano Bay. Don't be like me.
