Speaker 1 (00:00):
You were listening to DC on screen.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Welcome into DC on screen. I'm David to see robertson.
This is Jason Goss.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
What up?
Speaker 2 (00:08):
What up? How you is, ma'am?
Speaker 3 (00:11):
You know packing?
Speaker 2 (00:13):
I hear you. You're going on a on a trip.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
One of them land faring trips. M they're seafaring trips.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Sorry, oh, we're going land fairing to get to the seafaring.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
I was confused just a second because I was like,
I thought it was on the seat. Never mind, I
guess I just said, Okay, I guess you could technically
cruise on land.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Yeah, we're just avoiding air faring because I'm scared enough.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Anyway. We'll hear that, and I have not.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Liked the little vour clips in the last few months.
Does not help a phobia.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Yeah, yeah, anyway, Uh, I guess we should probably get
to the news. Yeah, because we're both pretty busy at
the moment. But all right, So you know that's a
big Superman lawsuit. This is happening, you don't. Yeah, it's
Mark Perry, who is the late Superman co creator Jerry
(01:05):
Schuster's nephew, claims the movie this new movie is in
violation of copyright laws, and he's aiming to block Superman
from being released in Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland and Australia,
and Perry, who is the executive of the estate, is
seeking damages an injunctive relief for defendant's ongoing infrigement in
the country's listed in the lawsuit. Now, according to Variety,
the parties are arguing that the issue has already been
(01:28):
exhaustively litigated, which is true, and they point to numerous
instances of the court's rebuffing Perry in the past, which
is also true. Records show that Perry's mother quote signed
away all rights to the Superman character following Schuster's passing.
As far as I can tell, it's true. WB attorney
(01:48):
Daniel Petrocelli says Perry's complaints fails on every ground. There
are no carve outs in the controlling nineteen ninety two
agreement for any foreign copyrights, much less for the copyrights
in the ten countries Perry now alleged in the complaint.
So we don't really probably have anything to worry about.
Now you're gonna try to He's gonna try.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
I mean sure, but that was not looking very promising
to begin with it. HM hm, like if even if
he had him, it was just gonna be a quick
payoff and move on.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
But that was that was.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Never going to impede a red carpet situation.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
They still pull out red carpets for premiers.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
I don't know, probably did they ever?
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Sounds right, they probably did.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Yeah, I'm pretty sure they did.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Uh well. Giving an interview to Comic bookmovie dot com
promoting McVeigh Anthony Kerrigan, who was playing Metamorpho in Superman
instead of Superman. Honestly, the only thing I can say
is just what a joy it was to work on
a project like that. I'm so excited to obviously bring
something like McVeigh to audiences, but also something that inspires
such hope and it's really about something very uplifting.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
M So that's nice.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Yeah, I'm deeply excited to see that, dude, I always am.
I feel like that's gonna be one of my complaints
leaving the theater is man, I wish there was more
time for that guy. Yeah, there's only gonna be what
two and some change, I think ours that's.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Funny you mentioned that because and take this with a
huge grain of salt. Hollywood Insider Jeff Snyder notes in
his newsletter that the film has a run time of
two hours and twenty minutes, making it one hundred and
forty minutes long. By comparison, Man of Still was one
hundred and forty three minutes, Superman Returns one hundred and
fifty four minutes. Superman the Movie was one hundred and
twenty seven minutes. And that's all the Superman movies. I
felt like, looking up, now, let's cover it. Yeah, why
(03:25):
should we take it with a grain of salt? Well,
this reported runtime for Superman is not official. Sure the
number could change before it's premiere in July, but also
because it's from Jeff Snyder, who frequently makes shit up.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Oh okay, yeah, well that'll do it. So, speaking of
which perfectly plausible number, yeah sure.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
In his newsletter, I see this is the kind of
shit this, This is the kind of shit.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Yeah. In his news under Dave's Skin, all right, what's.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Hollywood Insider, Jeff Snyder notes that there are some major
casting surprises in the store for Superman. He speculates he
doesn't have any, he just keeps hearing things. He speculates
that a prominent a lister might might be portraying Jorel.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
In the film m hm.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
He says, could dec have plans for Tom Cruise as possible,
though I can only imagine him as Batman or a
Superman's biological father Jorel. There is said to be some
major casting surprises and Guns Superman, and I imagine Jorell
is one of them. So stays tuned on that front.
And then he said, I thought, mate, it might be guns, uh,
Guardian of the Galaxy star Chris Pratt, and who knows,
it still might be. But a source suggested the gun
(04:36):
wouldn't do that to Marvel's Kevin Fikey, seeing as how
we likely haven't seen the last of Star Lord and
the MC motherfucker. Nobody gives a shit over at Marvel
if Chris Pratt plays Jorell, first of all. Second of all,
if like Jorell pops up in a scene after there's
been an attack on the Fortress of Solitude and it's
fucking Chris Pratt, like the whole audience is gonna laugh.
Fuck ma, that's not happening. Kevin fi he doesn't give
(04:57):
a shit. Marvel doesn't give a shit. Yeah, we can't
do that. We can't do that.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Uh, cruise is just forgive me but too small.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Yeah maybe, but he's also just like it's it's also
one of those castings that will it would completely take
you out of the movie.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Oh oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
I mean I feel like, even what twelve thirteen years ago,
we barely got away with Russell.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Crowe in a way m hmm it.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
But Russell thirteen years ago he actually was, to say,
like a serious pool when you saw his name price so.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Right when you see him, like that's like a oh
oh shit, they're going for it. Yeah, like they're going
for some like some class here. You know, that's what
you're looking at when you see.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
He brought gravitas.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
And I like Chris Pratt all right, Like you know,
I enjoy his shit. I don't know, I see his movies.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
So he's skilled.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Man.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
I got nothing against him.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
I got some against him, but he's all right, he's fine.
That's that far that far.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Oh I thought you were.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
I thought you were gonna stand him just out of
parks and rec leve alone.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
I mean, you know, look, as a man of faith myself,
I understand it's difficult to find yourself a church that
doesn't in some way hurt the gay community. I see,
I see, it's a tough road to hoe. But also,
Chris stop giving them fuckers money.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Yeah, I forgot about that.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Yeah, it's easy to forget because he's a likable dude. Yes,
And I don't and I don't. Look, I don't even
know for sure if he's still doing that. It was
confirmed at one point that he was tithing to the
church and they were giving to some something, you know.
But you know, there's always the way is that you
try to try to throw some money at something good,
(06:32):
and then there's always like, oh, wait, you didn't pull
back that that layer.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Yeah, what do you mean you give ten percent of
the money to a sewer rat? Why? Yeah, I mean
you just never know what they're doing.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Sometimes you do, sometimes you do, all right, So look,
uh yeah, Jeff Snyder, man, I don't ever know if
he's right or if he's you know, he's scoop, Scooper, scooper,
you know, fucking grifter of the highest order. Maybe not
the highest but.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Like, you know, what week with standard order at that
at this point for that kind of drifting.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Yeah, I mean, you know, this is one week the
test screening. Oh, the test screenings are bad. Oh they're
so bad. Oh it's a terrible mess. That's something next
week go test screens are showing up good corn sweats liked.
Oh it's genuinely funny. What the fuck does that mean?
Okay whatever, we don't know, but hey whatever, all right,
So I.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Mean you'll get those might be all honest results if
you just throw it in front of like ten people
and see what ten people think.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
I mean, this is a guy that's had like a
melt down over an actor publicly dismissing a rumor he
made up about them, like, fuck you die.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
That is a weird That's a weird time to stand
on a hill.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
It is, it is. I know what you're all thinking, Dave,
don't make enemies. What I say it is well with
my soul. Jeff Snyder and Grass Randolph and all these
others can go fuck each other with serrated dildo's. Yeah,
all these scoopers just fall in like the sad wet
tabloid slop sphincters.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
They are ye, very graphic. But I disagree with you
check point.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
So yeah. James Gunn gave some shout outs and behind
the scenes pictures on the tenth of March. He says
Happy anniversary to the Engineer created by Warren Ellis and
Brian Hitch, who you can see played to sinister perfection
by Puppy and human form Maria Gabriella Deferia and Superman.
This July he had a picture of her as the
Engineer laying on the grass at a football field. It's
(08:24):
a silly picture. He also posted Happy birthday to my
great friend and great actor Eddie Gathegi, who you can
see in all his technological glory in Superman. In July,
and that's a picture of mister Terrific standing next to
Lois Lane in the desert and James Gunn. We'll have
all this in the on the on DC on screen
dot Com, all these pictures and stuff and then transitioning
(08:46):
from Superman over to Supergirl. He also posted on the
anniversary of Lobo, I can't help but think of a
text I received from Jason Momoa on the morning was
announced Peter and I Worthy, heads of DC Studios, the
day Jason and I first discussed him joining the DCUs. Lobo.
I've loved the watching Jason bring him to life and
can't wait to share that with all of you. And
it was a picture. It was a screenshot of the
(09:07):
text where Jason Momoa just yelled fucking Lobo and James
gun said, Dude, I've said you should be Lobo for years. No, lie, Yeah,
I love it. That's like Momoa's like version of asking
James Gunn to let him play a role. He's just
like fucking Lobo. He just got like a very like
(09:30):
Patrick Warburton feel to it.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
It reminds me of like kind of an elementary school
instinct when you ask like who wants to do like
to the crowd, and like the kid who sticks his
arm up real fast and just doesn't even say like
maybe me, just like eh. It's like a this a
real grunt more than it is an articulation.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Yeah uh. And an interview. In an interview with screen Rant,
Jason Momoa said, well, Lobo's the role, and I've always
wanted to play That's the comic I loved, so I'm
really nervous about it. It's kind of a no brainer
to play the character. It's pretty big. I don't want
to give away too much, but I mean we look
pretty dead on exactly like the character, and he's pretty
(10:08):
rough and gruff and I'll say the bike's really cool. Hm.
I mean he already looks like the character. It's not
much of his No. In an interview with Comic.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Book, hair and makeup sessions must be like pretty damn
chill man.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
I mean maybe, but then they've got to paint them
all white, you know.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
But I just mean in general, he doesn't well, I
guess there's a lot of tattoos for some of the Ackerman.
He just tends to be in roles where he looks
like him.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
M so yeah. In an interview with Comic Book to
promote a Minecraft movie, Jason Momoa shared two of the
famous Lobo curse words. He's been practicing the most. You
can probably guess them. We've been saying fragging and bass
ditch quite a bit. That's exciting. Over to Lanyard's, Jason
Ritter apparently, apparently, according to Variety, is joining Lanyard's Cool. Uh.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
I haven't seen him in a while.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
He's apparently gonna be playing Garrett Dilla hunts William Macon's son,
Billy Macon. He is described as a good looking charmer
who does his father's bidding, capitalizing on his family's reputation.
He clings to the to his small town ego and
has everything to lose. I am a little disappointed by
(11:17):
this casting, and I'll say that it's not his fault.
It's because every time I see him or hear him talk,
all I see is his dad and it's incredibly distracting.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
He he does a little bit, but I think he
looks different enough. But I don't think i've seen him
in like a decade now. He was in that running arrow,
and I feel like that was the last time I've
run across the room.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
I don't remember him in the arrow Man blocked that
that portion of the show of My Brain out. Look.
You know, every time I see the guy, just go like,
oh oh, he's like he's.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Like John, just hurt your heart again.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
And I grew up with John, so.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
You know he was around, but he wasn't one of
the ones I watched.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
So oh man, dude, I mean, I want the Problem
Child movie so much. When I was a kid, I
watched Threes Company like on rotation.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
When I was a kid, like, Threes was never quite
in my rotation, so it was it was always adjacent
to it.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
I just never kind of ran into it very.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Often, you know, Three's Company was one of those where
it's like not really there for Nick at Night for
so yeah, like Three's Company was never really quite my thing.
It had some funny bits, but it was very like cyclical,
like you knew exactly what they were going to be doing. Yeah,
uh the what made though right in some ways? Yeah,
but what really made it? I mean you say that,
(12:33):
but then you know that era also gives us things
like Mash, which completely broke all the sitcom rules and
completely like revolutionized television in a lot of ways.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
It did, but for there to be a Mashed, somebody
has to be following the rules.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
I know, I know, but you know, also for Three's Company, Look,
John River was a brilliant physical comedian.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Yeah yeah, and he could.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Do drama as well, Like he really could. He could
do he could do it all. But the reason I
watched Three's Company was the Ropers and then mister Furley
played by Don knots like the landlords were the reason.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
To watch them show up at the door.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Yeah, I mean just like mister Roper saying some shit
about his wife and then like looking directly at the
camera and smiling like the fuck is that dude? Like
that's hilarious. He's so proud of himself. And then, of course,
you know, don Nott's just overhearing all the wrong things
and shaking violently and staring at the camera with white
eyes because he thinks Chris he's in the bathroom unrolling
(13:29):
Jack's dick. Of course she's unrolling They're unrolling a shower
curtain or some stupid shit. It's like, no, you gotta
unroll it. That's such a dump joke.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
I watched the little I think the only memories I
have of him may be kind of like fabricated from
stories like I think I remember them like the looking
at the camera bit, and then I have a vague
memory of John Ritter standing in the middle of a
hall room or a hall like a living room and
not knowing what to do with his body because too
many things are happening at once.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Uh huh. Yeah, there's a lot of that, but.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
That was probably like ten percent of every episode.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Mm hmm. All right, over to The Batman part two. Uh.
Robert Pattinson was asked if they're gonna be shooting soon.
He says, I fucking hope so, and then and then
he laughed. He says I started out as a young Batman,
and I'm going to be fucking old Batman by the sequel. Yeah, no,
what else is old Patty? This joke, He's already said
(14:32):
it a few times. Yeah, I can fix it. Fire
Robert Pattinson, hire Ethan Peck and stick the musky Cobaine
hair on him.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Call it a day. Nice.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
I'm already tired of Robert Pattinson's bitchin why, Like I'm
because he keeps saying the same shit over and over
again and complaining, and I'm like, dude, and then you'll
be mad if the script isn't great.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Well maybe, but at least it'll be moving by then.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
All right, I'm with him.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
This thing should gone. He should he should have been
at work already.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
I just you know, I look, I'm pretty consistent. I
feel like, you know, I try to be fair. At
least when Catherine Heigel showed on the Writers and Grays Anatomy,
I wanted them to kill her off. Yeah, so, you know,
with the Robert Pattinson, I'm like it, stop being so
shitty and impatient. I you know, it's not like echoing
the sentiment of angry fans who doesn't understand who you
(15:18):
know that you can't always get exactly what you want
when you want it. Yeah, it doesn't help anything.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
There's a space I have some of you were kind
of in between where like, yeah, a lot of stuff's happened,
and legit delays were necessary, but it's also been like
five years, maybe Russia, maybe Russian a little bit.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
But I you know me personally, I'm still in the
camp of like Penguin was your Batman two.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
I know, I know, But well to that other point,
That's something I think I've said before here is like
I I understand all the delays, but at some point
you've got to get that fucking movie on the screen
or it won't matter. I even get that Penguin was
there for it, but you've still got to actually get
the movie on the screen.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Yeah. As much as I love Penguin, I think it
may have been a mistake.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
As far as the splitting the format of there for
a second.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Yeah, I mean, I just think, like you know, people
are it has created a narrative where even people like
you who know exactly what the fuck happened, We've talked
about it on the show add nauseum, like Penguin was
Batman two and then they said, no, we want to
make it a show. Well I know, but and so
we even other people like us are going, oh, well,
(16:22):
they just need to get it up or it won't matter,
it'll fucking matter. No.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Well, I mean the problem is like, if you wait
long enough, the audience just will move on without you,
Like they'll go see it, but they won't go see
it like that what have You will lose the momentimum.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
And yeah, you're right.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
I think that is the mistake though, is like it
was great to make it a show, and for the
entigrity of that show, I think it made a fucking
great one. But I do feel like there should have
been something in the place.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
It seems like that all went to that maybe or something.
I don't know. A lot of delay has happened for
a lot of reasons.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
But what didn't happen is in place of that timeline,
another movie make it to screen in time, in any real
kind of time.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
I don't know. Man, I feel bad for Matt Reeves.
You know, you're developing a thing, You've got a script
written out or at least an outline, and then they're like, Nope,
you got to make it into a show and Okay, well,
now what I'm going to do, And then in the
middle of the show you realize, oh, holy shit, Sophia
Falcon is going to be like a fucking beast and
there's no way she's not going to be popular as hell,
and she was Penguin was crazy, and I think Penguin
(17:16):
will like satiate the appetite and you know, let make
people keep that momentum going at the very least, I'll say,
I mean, especially when you consider like you know, Dark
Knight Rises and how everyone was just like amped after
like whatever it was four or five years. Yeah, you
can absolutely hold off for a little while, and if
the product was good enough in the first place, there
(17:37):
will absolutely be people coming back and you know Jack,
you know, jacking their chains to it. But at the
same time, I kind of feel like, what's hurting Batman
two more is them not making it part of DCU.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Well that's see, Sam is the same kind of problem,
Like it's lingered so long that now you're running into
problems like if if there was another movie there, so
like with Penguin there you've it might have sat there
in the background. But right now, what you accidentally did
also was make us all think about it again. Yeah,
so now that we're thinking about it, we're like, you know,
it's been half a decade.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
I need that movie. And then on the other hand, yeah, like.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
I now you've let it hang out so long that
we're all thinking about this new universe. You could have
stuck it in right before the deadline there, m hm
and not had to worry about it. But it's just
bordering in a new question. I feel bad because, on
the one hand, I feel bad for him. I understand
how it's happened, but I feel like I'm also just
watching the shot cluck run out. It's just technical information
for me.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Here's the weird thing for me, and I understand that
I'm the I'm the weirdo. I don't give fuck. Like,
if they never make a Batman Part two, I'm all right.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
I actually I don't care.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Mind as far as that I could, I could be
told that it was all over after that and Penguin
and be kind of.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Okay, yeah, uh, you know, we see that bat signal
at the end of Penguin and you know you you
know it, Oh okay, Yeah, this is a dance that'll
go on for a while.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Yeah, like this is, this is just as this is.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Uh, you know, Angel going, I kind of want to
slay the dragon cut to black. Yeah like this this
is These are the lives of these icons. This is
what will happen. And at the very least we've seen
something captivating.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
I would live in that. And god knows we've lived
with worse.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Oh we sure have. Like uh, you know, Batman standing
on top of the fucking dark Knight returns bat Tank
and guess what, it's a cul de set kids like man,
I don't want to you know, you know, if you're
new to the show, I am not pro Snyder cult
with the constant haranguing and bitching and moaning and whatnot.
(19:37):
But man I would love to see Justice leap two
and three. Oh of course, man I would love to
see that story finished. I'm not mad at James Gunn
I understand, I get it. Yeah, I wouldn't want to,
you know, risk the slice of my biscuit, like on,
you know, continuing a thing that had already proven to
not be quite as as successful as you wanted it
(19:58):
to be.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Like if you actually had the between which one I'd
start the new universe now?
Speaker 2 (20:03):
I would try my own thing. Yeah, I'm not mad
at him. I'm not. It's fine, but man, i'd love
to see the rest of that. Of course, that's all
I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
But it does feel like there's a lot of people
who I don't know. It feels like loving both kids
maybe in a way. Yeah, I separate them, well pretty completely.
They're not they're not borrowing the same oxygen for those
who to live in my head.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Yeah. I want all the things. Yeah, but I'm also
okay if I don't get them.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
HBO executive Sarah god HBO executive Sarah Aubrey I was
talking about Penguin season two to the Hollywood Reporter, said, look,
we're using the model that Casey and Francesca Orsey have
deployed many times over many successful limited series. If there
(20:51):
is more story to tell, and there may be in
that world, but you don't want to follow up something
excellent with something less excellent. And it took a very
long time to at this show made, and we had
many different iterations, so I'm just like, can I please
just enjoy this for a second. But as we say,
we never shut the door, so we don't know if
there's gonna be a Penguin season two. There talks about it,
but they don't want to rush it. And I feel
(21:13):
the same way about Batman Part two. If they make it.
You know what if Pattinson is old, fuck it? Who cares?
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Cool, cool, there's no reason you cannot time pass in
the movie in the universe as I really feel for her,
I can you please shut the fuck up and let
me enjoy?
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Yeah? Yeah, Deadline is reporting Colin Ferrell is taking the
role of Sergeant Rock. Now. It's Deadline, so it's got
a little gravitas behind it, but at the same time
it might be really old and really defunct. We haven't
heard yet from many official sources.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Yeah, Deadline we mostly trust, but every once in a
while it will get you.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
No. Look, a lot of people are saying, no, no's man,
you can't play Penguin. Why why Penguin doesn't look like
Colin Ferrell? No point? And also this is multiverse, so
like he's not even in the same universe. Sergeant Rock
would be DCU, Ping would be an else world. Yeah,
that would they don't even look the same.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
That would be one where.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
If it distracts you, it's just you reaching for it
to be a distraction.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Mmm.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
I think on that one it yeah, I have to
or I had to constantly remind myself here in the
course of watching that show that it was him.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Should be a problem. I'm I'm fine with it.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Now. Well, uh, why don't we just go ahead and
go to a break real quick and then we'll finish
up with some WBT. Yeah you can get.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
Ready, Yeah, be right back.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
All right, we are back and uh, you know what
time it is? Is what it is, It's time for
It's time for WBT.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Did you get a real prop for that one?
Speaker 2 (22:46):
I did. I just wanted to drink some water and
I was like, save it.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
I have an opportunity for this coming up.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
A report and Puck has detailed the tumultuous tenure of
wbhead It's Michael de Luca and Pam Abdy, who have
apparently overseen multiple projects that went over budget. In the
report from Puck states that Warner Brothers Discovery CEO David
Saslav is quote leaning toward replacing them, with Peter Saffron
taking over the gig. HM now Robert Gibbs, as Lav's
(23:19):
a spokesperson, told Buck there is no truth to that rumor.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Okay, wo want.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
All right, okay, and yet people are like believing that shit. Man,
people are all over it. Oh my god, Now are
they gonna do it? They're gonna ruin dec Studios. They're
cutting up the team.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Yeah, that's my immediate thought is now you're busy.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
You keep that resume under the uh in that locked
office drawer for a couple of death betting a couple
couple of years at least.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
I will say mm hmmm uh when I think of it,
and I'm sure I'm wrong. I'm one hundred percent sure.
I am absolutely incorrect.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Love where this is starting.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
However, all right, probably because of how much you hear
from Gun. When I think of them doing work, I
think of Gun furiously working at a typewriter while Peter
Saffern sleeps on a couch behind him. It's it's the
it's the family guy. Goodwill hunt a bit.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
But that's exactly it.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Yeah, with Matt Damon doing all the work and Ben
Affleck asleep on the couch.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Behind him, Stone it makes some sense.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
I just don't think it's true.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
I believe it is.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Actually, Yeah, I think he's doing unsexy stuff.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
It probably is the it.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
I think it's why a lot of us well, one
the actual assignment of the word producer means almost nothing sometimes.
And two it's a bunch of stuff that we don't see,
so it's really hard to know just what the hell
that Dud's up to on a daily basis.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Also all the things we see, like he's the one
handling money and yeah, making sure locations are gotten, doing
all this other shit that we don't know.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Yeah, threatening unions, you know, jobs, just jobs that have
to be done.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Yeah, it's almost It reminds me of David Cross from
that episode of news Ready where he's like yelling at
Bob oden Kirk, my job makes your job happen.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Yeah, all right.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
So Alan Richson, God bless him to promote Reacher season three,
he did that autocomplete interview for Wired where you know
you rip off the fa the most searched queries on
Google and talks about him. One of the cards contained
the question is Alan Richon playing Batman? And he laughed
(25:28):
and he was a good sport about it. He was like,
what's amazing to me about this rumor of the Batman
desire and the zeitgeist is the fact that James Gunn
has personally announced publicly on his Twitter lo ol, he
is not playing Batman and this thing will not die.
I get asked every day if I'm playing Batman? Would
I play Batman? Yes? You wouldn't even have to pay
(25:50):
me to be that man.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
See that's the energy.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Yet I feel like I want someone to ring to it.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
But yeah, I get it, he said.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Dude. He even said Gotham is mine in like a
Batman voice, and I was dude, I was sold. Yeah,
I was sorry to watch this now Yeah, yeah, I
mean I would be happy for him to play Batman.
I'm fine with it. Yeah, that season, you got to
watch it.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
If you're like Saffron, is that an official offer?
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Bang? You like? Yeah, because we'll talk. Are are you
ready to save some money decent? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (26:27):
I think I have to pay some sort of minimum
just to keep within trade rules. But like you know,
we're talking that amount of money.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Like, motherfucker, we will pay you scale.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Yeah, hop right in here. Yeah, clearly, clearly the fans
be okay. But I really would even after all that,
even if you actually said, hey, we heard he was
doing it for cheap and we were up for it,
I'd be like, you know what, this works for me,
I'll see all in two years.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Uh huh, absolutely. All right. So there's some y'all. Remember
that Batgirl movie that got canceled. There was some behind
the scenes footage that got leaked. It was, you know,
footage of boreography of her fighting some dudes and people
are acting ridiculously outraged. Oh the choreography was so fluid. Oh,
(27:11):
she's battling combetants of varying size and getting a hurled
through walls. Oh, it would have been peak peak cinema.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
It looked like neither that nor particularly shitty. It was
just sort of a fight scene.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
Now, by the way, no one championing this thing is
talking about the gag where she gets thrown into a
bathroom where a dude is taking a ship. Yeah that's terrible,
And then we watch her continue to fight over the
shoulder of the guy while he's fucking wiping.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Yeah, yes, it's a real masterpiece, y'all.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
I was not happy with that bit.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
Look quality wise is obviously very rough. It's unfinished. It's
very pixelated. Because it's this leak, it's unfinished. There's no score,
it is a few haggard steps away from set pictures,
but still based on this I'm good. My hand to god.
I think I have seen behind the scenes action footage
of Arrow that looked better than this shit. Sorry, this one,
(28:00):
I wouldn't. This one can stay encrusted in one of
the darker crevices of the of the source wall.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Yeah, if it was based on just that, I would
much like I saw it and thought, there's like scenes
where she's just running at walls that would you could
edit a couple of these moments out and it would
be real, you know, punchy, I guess the wording there,
but like, yeah, cut out the toilet paper gag, regular
fight scene and had some kind of score on it.
It was like an electronic thing that like seemed fine
(28:28):
if that it was just like tension building electronic stuff,
you know.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Okay, Yeah, it's like a placeholder music.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Yeah, it's there's nothing just outrageously wrong with the scene
in my opinion. It's just kind of regular fight scene though,
But like, yeah, I don't. I don't know why anyone would.
I don't know why anyone would champion it or just
try to like it knock up or it's pretty standard, Like,
I'm surprised this is what leaked.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
What was the goal?
Speaker 2 (28:50):
I don't know. Well, the goal is to get outraged.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
So that they gets well in that sense, you could
have released anything and gotten whatever someone's cataloged. Knee jerk
response was the moment they got the footage.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
But like, this was like a concerted effort across various outlets,
because people are just like the people who are alerting
everyone making it making us all aware, are all talking
it up like it's like bullshit, like oh how dare they?
And that's what makes me angrier actually than anything is
(29:23):
because it's people who are trying to prove that quote
unquote poor quality wasn't the real reason WV candid as
if they're uncovering the tarp from a decade's lost artifact
previously thought to have been lost to the sounds of time.
It was never that the film was poor quality, and
that's not exactly what they said. It was officially that
the movie was not of theatrical quality. Looking at this,
(29:46):
I agree it's not of theatrical quality. It looks like
CW quality, yeah, which means which is fine if you've
got that budget. But that just means you can't put
it on a giant fucking screen. And I expect the
general audience to go, well, this is good shit, because
it's not gonna work. If you've got one hundred thousand
people who are watching a CW, they're shrugging and going,
(30:07):
this is pretty good for c W. Yeah, that's all.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
That's probably that word. But I I don't know.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
I did small enough sample that was a forty three seconds. Yeah, no,
that's enough of a glimpse to see you know what
that prorection style is like. But yeah, there's plenty of
ways you could maybe you'd be telling a grander or
a smaller story in certain ways, and like you could
probably get it by But w B.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Never said it was poor quality, and that was a
piece of shit. He said it was not theatrical quality.
Those are two different things. This was made as a
small budget streaming film. It does not mean poor quality.
It means less quality than what one would expect from
a theatrical film. Yeah, and if you'll all recall David's
as Laff said, and the numbers do meet this out
by the way, that movies fare way way way better
(30:49):
on streaming if they are released theatrically first. Yeah, but
the problem with Batgirl in that regard officially is that
it would take away too much money to go back
and augment it, meaning copious reshoot. Yeah, so they could
just release it in theaters and then people would be complaining, well,
I could believe they released this in theaters instead of
on streaming, No fucking shit. So the smartly unspoken part
(31:11):
of this, though, as I've said before, is that Batgirl
was a movie set in an abandoned post Flash universe
that was a combination of Snyder Verse and Burton Verse.
Pat Engel was never Jim Gordon, it was always JK. Simmons.
There has never been afflict the Michael Keaton was Batman
and had a Robin. It was also a universe which was,
according to every rumor at the time, going to focus
on Batman. Sorry, I'm Batgirl a Supergirl from the Flash
(31:33):
instead of Superman and Batman being Cavil and Affleck. So
why would they keep that part quiet? Because they didn't
want the incoming production team Gun and Saffron blamed for
not following through on a dead universe idea, which it
did kind of work. Like, people are still like, okay, Blue.
So it was poor quality. Now you fucking didn't listen.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
That's where the real that was, where the real story was.
To me, it just didn't fit anymore, and it would
be shooting yourself on the foot to try to make
that money. But I do the other part that you
haven't talked about it was just how angry industry people were,
because even if that's right, it still doesn't make it
okay to have made that movie and not released it.
It's it's still a lot of broken promises if you're
(32:12):
people who might work for Warner Brothers one day.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Yes, but also it's a thing that like you know,
Kevin Smith talked about in the early odds with Prince, like, Yeah,
sometimes you make a thing and it just doesn't come out.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
It does it does?
Speaker 1 (32:21):
Yeah, though, And I don't I don't know the little
bits of people. Yeah, Michael Keaton theory. I thee got
the check wash So I'm good.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
M m.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
But like I I'd love to see like a survey
of people or something. But it seemed like I sell
snippets where people felt like this was a little bit
more of a slap in the face than that normal
kind of course of events where shit just doesn't happen
to get on screen. Sometimes this one felt more like
burning it down and selling the parts than normal, But
to be fair, that was in the context of Zaslov
(32:52):
burning things down and selling things for parts. So I
think there's a little bit of like Column ABC and
D as far as how this thing didn't make it.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
Yeah, I mean it's not like Rocket Science. They literally
reshot and reshot and reshot that ending for the flash
because they didn't know where they were going. And then
when Gun and Saffron and everybody, oh, okay, we're not
following through in a cool yeah, let's reshoot it one
more time.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
You know, that is probably why that climax scene is
just basically on an open, giant, blank void, so you
could go shoot twenty endings not knowing what the fuck
your universe was about.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
To be up to. Yeah, oh yeah, no set pieces.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
Story ranch here, We'll just blue screen everything we actually
have to fix.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
We'll do it, y'all.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
Do these twenty different basically do the thing that you
know that cheers did, I guess, and shoot a few
mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
What's hilarious to me though, is that, you know, Gun
and Saffron are kind of the reason that this the
Batgirl didn't happen like says, I've killed it, but honestly,
like they killed it because their plans had nothing to
do with whatever this was. This was a walterra Hamada thing,
which went, by the way, was a fucking stupid plan
from Walter Rahmata like to be like, no, let's get
(33:57):
rid of Batman and Superman, focus on Batgirl and Supergirl,
but also make Michael Coaton look a Nick Fury character.
Would it be cool? Some parts of it would be,
But we kind of saw a lot of what Waterramato
was working on and it wasn't great. We all watched
Black Adam, Yeah, we all saw the second Chozam movie. Yeah,
Like it was fine, but it wasn't like knocking my
(34:18):
dick in the dirt or anything. It wasn't making me
feel like do you see us back. I was just like, well,
this is a strange fucking farting out of a universe.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Yeah. If it if it had the momentum and the
kind of scaffolding of the other movies at that time,
we'd have just been like, well, all right and moved on.
But I moved on to the next thing. Importantly, the
next thing that was happening in that momentum, but now
we didn't. By then it was just it's just weird
little sparkles from a dying fire. Dude, I don't know
what to do with all of that crap.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
But what's funny is that people are blaming or not
blaming Gun and Saffron for killing Batgirl, which they kind
of did, but just by virtue of not wanting to
go that rouch. But uh, they're blamed for killing Snyder Verse,
which they absolutely did not.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
Yeah, that was Emrick and Hamada that died so so
much farther before his time. Yeah, oh god.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
And they made they went through painstaking efforts to make
sure that they knew when we got the four hour
cut that we should consider this a fucking gift and
not ask about anything else. Yeah, they were abundantly clear
about Like it was like.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
The day it released, they were like, by the way.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
We'll get too excited about that. They just undercut it
from the day one.
Speaker 3 (35:31):
I mean, it wasn't.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
Yeah, all right, we got to talk about this State
Farm ad. I'll post a link to it in the
show notes. The premise of the commercial is, if you
want quality insurance, you'll sign up with State Farm and
be protected by someone like Batman. If not, then you
could be stuck with the baitman aka Jason Bateman in
a cape and superhero soon getting kidnapped by villains.
Speaker 3 (35:56):
I loved it, you love it. I loved it all right. Yeah,
they had.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
For a commercial that was an absolute banger.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
For a commercial that was fun. I had a couple
of chuckles.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
I really, I would be way more interesting just advertising
might last in a way where it's like minute and
a half. We really put some serious thought into this.
I was genuinely compelled by commercial for a second.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
Yeah, I And they'd been hinting at it. They had
been hinting at it with a little like, oh, here's
a shot of the bat signal. Oh, here's a shot
of Joker dancing on the street and laughing. And then
there was this, you know, building up to this long
ass commercial. I thought it looked cool, you know, great
for commercial. I'm not feeling what most people are not
(36:42):
most I don't know, I don't know how many, but
all over social media people are demanding this guy play
this playing Joker. Here is the DCU Joker. They're demanding
the guy playing Batman is going to play DCU Batman. Uh, yeah,
we didn't get that much to be saying that. Shit, Yeah,
it'd be a little bit off it. This is like
fan casting, gone, wow, just a commercial. It's a commercial,
(37:05):
and you know, if you really look at it as
you know, maybe a little less than CW level, it's
just okay, like coold really cool look for everybody.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
I was surprised they went through as much makeup as
they did, but yeah, they really went for it on
the costumes.
Speaker 3 (37:21):
They actually, yeah, you.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
Know, bothered doing some I mean, I know, they just
grabbed some of the handful of like really popular villains.
But it wasn't some marketing execs swipe at their half
fucking McDonald's happy mill memory of a DC character.
Speaker 3 (37:36):
Yeah, at least it.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
Was an actual joke about the Riddler, which was actually funny.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
But yeah, it's not Jeopardy just killing. Yeah, that was funny,
that's funny. Uh, the villains were a little over the top.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
Actually, go to a podcast. Oh that hurts, That got.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
Me, Yeah, just go to a podcast. Yeah, I did
like life at the part where he was like looking
at the guy in the trap and going, mmm, yeah,
I think this is more of a batman.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
Yeah, it's not a bad fucking commercial.
Speaker 2 (38:09):
It's not.
Speaker 1 (38:11):
Let's pretty happy with it. Like, if I actually see
that thing come on again, I'll probably won't. I actually
won't turn it off. I'll sit there and watch bro
surprises anyone. I'm not going out to change my insurance company. Yeah,
that good, but no advertising is.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
Yeah, it's just like a it's a weirdest commercial.
Speaker 1 (38:25):
Though, I think honestly at this point, you know how
that because like I'm not going to go change entrance.
I think at this point they just want the next
time you're like, screw whatever one I'm with, let me
go look for somebody else. They just want you to
think of them. Oh yeah, and try that first.
Speaker 3 (38:38):
That's it. But mm hmmm, it depends on what you're
going for.
Speaker 1 (38:41):
I mean right now that that emu's pretty catchy.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
Don't they sell insurance? I think they do.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
I don't know who the liberty ah, some kind of insurance.
All I know is those are the commercials used to
delight me and now they bug me.
Speaker 3 (38:54):
Which ones the liberty liberty meat one?
Speaker 1 (38:57):
I actually did stop and I actually hit replay on
an end the other day because I ran across the
recent one where they gave the amy a backstory. Came
from a farm, yeah and something ear there.
Speaker 3 (39:07):
Oh that's cute.
Speaker 1 (39:08):
Okay left the farm for his big city dreams.
Speaker 3 (39:10):
All right, well that's good. That's good job, good job.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
Yes, yeah, I've seen that one so many times.
Speaker 3 (39:14):
I never ran across.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
I did chuckle out at the first time I saw it.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
Honestly, However, if I was not likely you told me that,
I would think. That's the highest praise I ever hoped before.
Speaker 3 (39:23):
Thank you. You chuckled at it one time before after
that being mad about every time you saw it. That's
the most I could hope.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
Yeah. Yeah, they're about forty sixty hit rate on me
for right now with Liberty Mutual. All right, so I'm
gonna end it off on some sad news. Greg SIPs,
who does the voice beast Boy on Teen Titans and
Teen Titans Go and Young Justice, Uh, says a little update.
(39:53):
I've healed myself from skin cancer, COVID, heavy metal poisoning,
chronic disease, and the bones, and now I got diagnosed
with the early onset Parkinson's disease, which I'm gonna beat too.
You're gonna be able to come with me on this
healing journey and rejoice and learn a bunch audios and
see you soon. So, of course the best vibes and
thoughts and prayers and all that, uh pushed forward to Greg.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
Everyone he sounds real saying for I was as that
sentence played out, I realized that was all in sequence
rather than all at once. But for a second sounded
like he was hospitalized for all those at once.
Speaker 3 (40:26):
I was thinking, Dear God.
Speaker 2 (40:28):
Yeah, no, no, I think it was a secret.
Speaker 1 (40:31):
Capital G himself tried to kill this dude, Capital G.
Speaker 2 (40:37):
Greg Blan, Yeah, no, Kaufman, google it.
Speaker 1 (40:42):
Yeah, Jeff Johns, all right, now we're getting into plausible.
Speaker 2 (40:49):
Oh well that's all I've got.
Speaker 3 (40:52):
Man, that'll work, that'll work. Happy to rapid for a moment. Yeah, Yeah,
that girl was exciting. I was. I was wondering when
that happened. It had to happen eventually, right, some part
of it would leak? Yeah, I am still a little bit.
I do wish I could.
Speaker 1 (41:06):
I wish I could hear from a reliable source what
the what the game plan was, what they thought was
gonna happen when you release that particular piece of footage.
Speaker 3 (41:13):
Or if you're just like, now this is the forty.
Speaker 1 (41:15):
Three seconds I have. It doesn't matter what it is.
I'll just send it out the door. But yeah, everyone
had their opinions preloaded.
Speaker 3 (41:21):
It didn't matter what hit the ground.
Speaker 1 (41:23):
Yeah, it could have been the opening title sequence, man,
just the bat symbol.
Speaker 3 (41:26):
It wouldn't matter.
Speaker 2 (41:27):
Yeah, and it kills me as the people who are
like super super for it and wanted to release, you know, like,
those are the people who are gonna like if it
was released, they would be they would watch it and
then be mad because there's not gonna be more. Yeah,
of course, I'm like, what the fucker you knew there
was not gonna be more? Why would you get mad?
You sat there said, I understand it's not gonna be more.
I just want to see it. Okay, well here you go.
(41:48):
Well no, because there's not more?
Speaker 1 (41:50):
Yeah yeah, yeah, I get it. I genuinely don't know
if I would have released it either.
Speaker 2 (41:56):
I doubt it based on what I'm saying, I don't
think I would have. I think I'm think I'm in
zaz Lab's camp on this one.
Speaker 1 (42:02):
It would have had to be pretty incredible, And by
that I don't mean it if it was a good movie,
I think I might have still benched it.
Speaker 3 (42:09):
It would have to be stand out incredible for me
to not because of the dead Universe theory.
Speaker 2 (42:14):
Yeah, oh, I mean it's not even a theory, man.
Speaker 3 (42:16):
Well you're not even a theory. The dead theory are
the dead universe issue.
Speaker 2 (42:19):
We know it's dead. We know Sashal Kanye is not
coming back a super cool I mean, like we know
Michael Keat's not coming back as Batman. Everything is dead.
Speaker 3 (42:29):
Yeah, it's going.
Speaker 2 (42:32):
The poor quality that was never like the most pertinent issue,
Like if it had been so really good quality, they
may have been, like because you know, we heard rumors
that Batman was only in it like five minutes or
some crap. Yeah, okay, let's throw a few more million
at it and really make it a thing, James can
can you make it work for your universe? Okay, sounds great,
(42:53):
but no, no, no, not from based on what we
just saw.
Speaker 1 (42:56):
M mmmmm m it wasn't over the top endredib well,
at least.
Speaker 2 (43:01):
That should a little like State Farm had a couple
of million on.
Speaker 3 (43:03):
It, it really did. We'd like to know much I
spent on that commercial.
Speaker 2 (43:06):
I kind of want to know.
Speaker 1 (43:07):
Babman alone can't be cheap, ye can't.
Speaker 3 (43:10):
I'm not that damn cheap?
Speaker 1 (43:16):
Pretty gon to do Bribeman with insurance like.
Speaker 2 (43:18):
Or the Purple Mattress, maybe.
Speaker 1 (43:21):
That has to be actually a hard thing if you're
in the insurance game, Like you can't what am I
gonna do, like ensure the ship out of you if
you promote my product. I can only ensure you up
to a point. I think it's a law after a while,
hard to get kicked back.
Speaker 2 (43:34):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (43:37):
You could probably find if he does speaker meetings, you
can usually find his you know, speaker rate whatever that
is somewhere mm hmm. But even those those are usually
like I mean, like super expensive. Somebody might be a
quarter grand or something, and that quarter grand like two
under grand or something like that, And but those are ridiculous,
like Will Smith before the slap, kind of levels of expensive.
Speaker 2 (44:00):
The slap.
Speaker 1 (44:01):
I assume that affected his strike price.
Speaker 2 (44:05):
Probably marginal. Yeah, I don't think it. I think it was.
I think several things affected his price before that happened,
Like he had a string of failures at the box office.
You know, he wasn't really you know, your price isn't
gonna be that high if like the last success, the
latest success you've had was the bel Air Show on Peacock, Like, sorry,
(44:27):
will nobody gives a ship anymore?
Speaker 3 (44:29):
Maybe he's gonna be one of those, including.
Speaker 2 (44:31):
Your wife who's been cheating on.
Speaker 1 (44:32):
Yeah, he probably is one of those people though that
even if he goes through a slump, like, there's gonna
be a fifth project and it'll hit just fine and
he'll be fine for another ten years.
Speaker 2 (44:43):
Yeah, I'm not saying he won't come back, and he's
already he's already bounced back so to some degree, Like.
Speaker 1 (44:48):
Like, I don't think he sweats it when he gets
out of the you know, heavy limelight for a second. Da,
I'll be back, no worry about it. But then, since
I was fucking eleven.
Speaker 2 (44:55):
I'm gonna go on Graham Norton rap with the audience,
the fresh Prince thing, Yeah, regenerate some good, will be
back in no time, Throw on a simple beat and
go ha ha and everyone will go, oh, yeah there
he is. We like that guy.
Speaker 3 (45:10):
Can I do after to now? No?
Speaker 2 (45:12):
No, never, calm down, you poor cuck bastard.
Speaker 3 (45:23):
Oh alright, sorry.
Speaker 2 (45:29):
I don't think he was actually talking about I don't
think he was actually talking to Chris Rock when he
said keep my wife out of your mouth, keep your
keep my wife out of your mouth. Oh, you weren't
talking to Chris. You weren't talking to Chris. You were
talking to that other guy.
Speaker 1 (45:44):
There might have been some misplaced I still do that day.
Maybe that's what Denzel explained to him in the in
the break.
Speaker 2 (45:49):
Yeah, maybe you're not mad at Chris, Buddy, You're not
mad at Chris. Who am about at? Buddy?
Speaker 3 (45:56):
There's a small list right now. You know you fucked up.
Speaker 1 (45:58):
When Denzel has to come calm ship down for you,
that's got to be a small that's got to.
Speaker 3 (46:05):
Just come with a level of embarrassment.
Speaker 1 (46:07):
Denzel had to talk some sense into me.
Speaker 2 (46:09):
Was he kind about it?
Speaker 3 (46:10):
Of course he was, of course he was. He was gracious.
It was even more embarrassing because of it.
Speaker 2 (46:15):
It made me feel sick. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (46:17):
The worst part was it feel like a disappointed him,
like yeah, of course of course he did that too.
Speaker 2 (46:21):
Yeah. Yeah, all right, I'm gonna call it yeap. Love
you guys, Thanks for listening. Patreon dot com, slush DC

I hope it's good vibes.
Speaker 3 (46:47):
I'll be back in the country soon
Speaker 2 (46:49):
And until next time, game some DC on your screen.
You were listening to DC on screen.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Welcome into DC on screen. I'm David to see robertson.
This is Jason Goss.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
What up?
Speaker 2 (00:08):
What up? How you is, ma'am?
Speaker 3 (00:11):
You know packing?
Speaker 2 (00:13):
I hear you. You're going on a on a trip.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
One of them land faring trips. M they're seafaring trips.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Sorry, oh, we're going land fairing to get to the seafaring.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
I was confused just a second because I was like,
I thought it was on the seat. Never mind, I
guess I just said, Okay, I guess you could technically
cruise on land.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Yeah, we're just avoiding air faring because I'm scared enough.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Anyway. We'll hear that, and I have not.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Liked the little vour clips in the last few months.
Does not help a phobia.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Yeah, yeah, anyway, Uh, I guess we should probably get
to the news. Yeah, because we're both pretty busy at
the moment. But all right, So you know that's a
big Superman lawsuit. This is happening, you don't. Yeah, it's
Mark Perry, who is the late Superman co creator Jerry
(01:05):
Schuster's nephew, claims the movie this new movie is in
violation of copyright laws, and he's aiming to block Superman
from being released in Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland and Australia,
and Perry, who is the executive of the estate, is
seeking damages an injunctive relief for defendant's ongoing infrigement in
the country's listed in the lawsuit. Now, according to Variety,
the parties are arguing that the issue has already been
(01:28):
exhaustively litigated, which is true, and they point to numerous
instances of the court's rebuffing Perry in the past, which
is also true. Records show that Perry's mother quote signed
away all rights to the Superman character following Schuster's passing.
As far as I can tell, it's true. WB attorney
(01:48):
Daniel Petrocelli says Perry's complaints fails on every ground. There
are no carve outs in the controlling nineteen ninety two
agreement for any foreign copyrights, much less for the copyrights
in the ten countries Perry now alleged in the complaint.
So we don't really probably have anything to worry about.
Now you're gonna try to He's gonna try.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
I mean sure, but that was not looking very promising
to begin with it. HM hm, like if even if
he had him, it was just gonna be a quick
payoff and move on.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
But that was that was.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Never going to impede a red carpet situation.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
They still pull out red carpets for premiers.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
I don't know, probably did they ever?
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Sounds right, they probably did.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Yeah, I'm pretty sure they did.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Uh well. Giving an interview to Comic bookmovie dot com
promoting McVeigh Anthony Kerrigan, who was playing Metamorpho in Superman
instead of Superman. Honestly, the only thing I can say
is just what a joy it was to work on
a project like that. I'm so excited to obviously bring
something like McVeigh to audiences, but also something that inspires
such hope and it's really about something very uplifting.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
M So that's nice.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Yeah, I'm deeply excited to see that, dude, I always am.
I feel like that's gonna be one of my complaints
leaving the theater is man, I wish there was more
time for that guy. Yeah, there's only gonna be what
two and some change, I think ours that's.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Funny you mentioned that because and take this with a
huge grain of salt. Hollywood Insider Jeff Snyder notes in
his newsletter that the film has a run time of
two hours and twenty minutes, making it one hundred and
forty minutes long. By comparison, Man of Still was one
hundred and forty three minutes, Superman Returns one hundred and
fifty four minutes. Superman the Movie was one hundred and
twenty seven minutes. And that's all the Superman movies. I
felt like, looking up, now, let's cover it. Yeah, why
(03:25):
should we take it with a grain of salt? Well,
this reported runtime for Superman is not official. Sure the
number could change before it's premiere in July, but also
because it's from Jeff Snyder, who frequently makes shit up.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Oh okay, yeah, well that'll do it. So, speaking of
which perfectly plausible number, yeah sure.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
In his newsletter, I see this is the kind of
shit this, This is the kind of shit.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Yeah. In his news under Dave's Skin, all right, what's.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Hollywood Insider, Jeff Snyder notes that there are some major
casting surprises in the store for Superman. He speculates he
doesn't have any, he just keeps hearing things. He speculates
that a prominent a lister might might be portraying Jorel.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
In the film m hm.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
He says, could dec have plans for Tom Cruise as possible,
though I can only imagine him as Batman or a
Superman's biological father Jorel. There is said to be some
major casting surprises and Guns Superman, and I imagine Jorell
is one of them. So stays tuned on that front.
And then he said, I thought, mate, it might be guns, uh,
Guardian of the Galaxy star Chris Pratt, and who knows,
it still might be. But a source suggested the gun
(04:36):
wouldn't do that to Marvel's Kevin Fikey, seeing as how
we likely haven't seen the last of Star Lord and
the MC motherfucker. Nobody gives a shit over at Marvel
if Chris Pratt plays Jorell, first of all. Second of all,
if like Jorell pops up in a scene after there's
been an attack on the Fortress of Solitude and it's
fucking Chris Pratt, like the whole audience is gonna laugh.
Fuck ma, that's not happening. Kevin fi he doesn't give
(04:57):
a shit. Marvel doesn't give a shit. Yeah, we can't
do that. We can't do that.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Uh, cruise is just forgive me but too small.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Yeah maybe, but he's also just like it's it's also
one of those castings that will it would completely take
you out of the movie.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Oh oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
I mean I feel like, even what twelve thirteen years ago,
we barely got away with Russell.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Crowe in a way m hmm it.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
But Russell thirteen years ago he actually was, to say,
like a serious pool when you saw his name price so.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Right when you see him, like that's like a oh
oh shit, they're going for it. Yeah, like they're going
for some like some class here. You know, that's what
you're looking at when you see.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
He brought gravitas.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
And I like Chris Pratt all right, Like you know,
I enjoy his shit. I don't know, I see his movies.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
So he's skilled.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Man.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
I got nothing against him.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
I got some against him, but he's all right, he's fine.
That's that far that far.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Oh I thought you were.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
I thought you were gonna stand him just out of
parks and rec leve alone.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
I mean, you know, look, as a man of faith myself,
I understand it's difficult to find yourself a church that
doesn't in some way hurt the gay community. I see,
I see, it's a tough road to hoe. But also,
Chris stop giving them fuckers money.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Yeah, I forgot about that.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Yeah, it's easy to forget because he's a likable dude. Yes,
And I don't and I don't. Look, I don't even
know for sure if he's still doing that. It was
confirmed at one point that he was tithing to the
church and they were giving to some something, you know.
But you know, there's always the way is that you
try to try to throw some money at something good,
(06:32):
and then there's always like, oh, wait, you didn't pull
back that that layer.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Yeah, what do you mean you give ten percent of
the money to a sewer rat? Why? Yeah, I mean
you just never know what they're doing.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Sometimes you do, sometimes you do, all right, So look,
uh yeah, Jeff Snyder, man, I don't ever know if
he's right or if he's you know, he's scoop, Scooper, scooper,
you know, fucking grifter of the highest order. Maybe not
the highest but.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Like, you know, what week with standard order at that
at this point for that kind of drifting.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Yeah, I mean, you know, this is one week the
test screening. Oh, the test screenings are bad. Oh they're
so bad. Oh it's a terrible mess. That's something next
week go test screens are showing up good corn sweats liked.
Oh it's genuinely funny. What the fuck does that mean?
Okay whatever, we don't know, but hey whatever, all right,
So I.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Mean you'll get those might be all honest results if
you just throw it in front of like ten people
and see what ten people think.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
I mean, this is a guy that's had like a
melt down over an actor publicly dismissing a rumor he
made up about them, like, fuck you die.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
That is a weird That's a weird time to stand
on a hill.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
It is, it is. I know what you're all thinking, Dave,
don't make enemies. What I say it is well with
my soul. Jeff Snyder and Grass Randolph and all these
others can go fuck each other with serrated dildo's. Yeah,
all these scoopers just fall in like the sad wet
tabloid slop sphincters.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
They are ye, very graphic. But I disagree with you
check point.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
So yeah. James Gunn gave some shout outs and behind
the scenes pictures on the tenth of March. He says
Happy anniversary to the Engineer created by Warren Ellis and
Brian Hitch, who you can see played to sinister perfection
by Puppy and human form Maria Gabriella Deferia and Superman.
This July he had a picture of her as the
Engineer laying on the grass at a football field. It's
(08:24):
a silly picture. He also posted Happy birthday to my
great friend and great actor Eddie Gathegi, who you can
see in all his technological glory in Superman. In July,
and that's a picture of mister Terrific standing next to
Lois Lane in the desert and James Gunn. We'll have
all this in the on the on DC on screen
dot Com, all these pictures and stuff and then transitioning
(08:46):
from Superman over to Supergirl. He also posted on the
anniversary of Lobo, I can't help but think of a
text I received from Jason Momoa on the morning was
announced Peter and I Worthy, heads of DC Studios, the
day Jason and I first discussed him joining the DCUs. Lobo.
I've loved the watching Jason bring him to life and
can't wait to share that with all of you. And
it was a picture. It was a screenshot of the
(09:07):
text where Jason Momoa just yelled fucking Lobo and James
gun said, Dude, I've said you should be Lobo for years. No, lie, Yeah,
I love it. That's like Momoa's like version of asking
James Gunn to let him play a role. He's just
like fucking Lobo. He just got like a very like
(09:30):
Patrick Warburton feel to it.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
It reminds me of like kind of an elementary school
instinct when you ask like who wants to do like
to the crowd, and like the kid who sticks his
arm up real fast and just doesn't even say like
maybe me, just like eh. It's like a this a
real grunt more than it is an articulation.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Yeah uh. And an interview. In an interview with screen Rant,
Jason Momoa said, well, Lobo's the role, and I've always
wanted to play That's the comic I loved, so I'm
really nervous about it. It's kind of a no brainer
to play the character. It's pretty big. I don't want
to give away too much, but I mean we look
pretty dead on exactly like the character, and he's pretty
(10:08):
rough and gruff and I'll say the bike's really cool. Hm.
I mean he already looks like the character. It's not
much of his No. In an interview with Comic.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Book, hair and makeup sessions must be like pretty damn
chill man.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
I mean maybe, but then they've got to paint them
all white, you know.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
But I just mean in general, he doesn't well, I
guess there's a lot of tattoos for some of the Ackerman.
He just tends to be in roles where he looks
like him.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
M so yeah. In an interview with Comic Book to
promote a Minecraft movie, Jason Momoa shared two of the
famous Lobo curse words. He's been practicing the most. You
can probably guess them. We've been saying fragging and bass
ditch quite a bit. That's exciting. Over to Lanyard's, Jason
Ritter apparently, apparently, according to Variety, is joining Lanyard's Cool. Uh.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
I haven't seen him in a while.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
He's apparently gonna be playing Garrett Dilla hunts William Macon's son,
Billy Macon. He is described as a good looking charmer
who does his father's bidding, capitalizing on his family's reputation.
He clings to the to his small town ego and
has everything to lose. I am a little disappointed by
(11:17):
this casting, and I'll say that it's not his fault.
It's because every time I see him or hear him talk,
all I see is his dad and it's incredibly distracting.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
He he does a little bit, but I think he
looks different enough. But I don't think i've seen him
in like a decade now. He was in that running arrow,
and I feel like that was the last time I've
run across the room.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
I don't remember him in the arrow Man blocked that
that portion of the show of My Brain out. Look.
You know, every time I see the guy, just go like,
oh oh, he's like he's.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Like John, just hurt your heart again.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
And I grew up with John, so.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
You know he was around, but he wasn't one of
the ones I watched.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
So oh man, dude, I mean, I want the Problem
Child movie so much. When I was a kid, I
watched Threes Company like on rotation.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
When I was a kid, like, Threes was never quite
in my rotation, so it was it was always adjacent
to it.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
I just never kind of ran into it very.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Often, you know, Three's Company was one of those where
it's like not really there for Nick at Night for
so yeah, like Three's Company was never really quite my thing.
It had some funny bits, but it was very like cyclical,
like you knew exactly what they were going to be doing. Yeah,
uh the what made though right in some ways? Yeah,
but what really made it? I mean you say that,
(12:33):
but then you know that era also gives us things
like Mash, which completely broke all the sitcom rules and
completely like revolutionized television in a lot of ways.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
It did, but for there to be a Mashed, somebody
has to be following the rules.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
I know, I know, but you know, also for Three's Company, Look,
John River was a brilliant physical comedian.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Yeah yeah, and he could.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Do drama as well, Like he really could. He could
do he could do it all. But the reason I
watched Three's Company was the Ropers and then mister Furley
played by Don knots like the landlords were the reason.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
To watch them show up at the door.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Yeah, I mean just like mister Roper saying some shit
about his wife and then like looking directly at the
camera and smiling like the fuck is that dude? Like
that's hilarious. He's so proud of himself. And then, of course,
you know, don Nott's just overhearing all the wrong things
and shaking violently and staring at the camera with white
eyes because he thinks Chris he's in the bathroom unrolling
(13:29):
Jack's dick. Of course she's unrolling They're unrolling a shower
curtain or some stupid shit. It's like, no, you gotta
unroll it. That's such a dump joke.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
I watched the little I think the only memories I
have of him may be kind of like fabricated from
stories like I think I remember them like the looking
at the camera bit, and then I have a vague
memory of John Ritter standing in the middle of a
hall room or a hall like a living room and
not knowing what to do with his body because too
many things are happening at once.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Uh huh. Yeah, there's a lot of that, but.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
That was probably like ten percent of every episode.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Mm hmm. All right, over to The Batman part two. Uh.
Robert Pattinson was asked if they're gonna be shooting soon.
He says, I fucking hope so, and then and then
he laughed. He says I started out as a young Batman,
and I'm going to be fucking old Batman by the sequel. Yeah, no,
what else is old Patty? This joke, He's already said
(14:32):
it a few times. Yeah, I can fix it. Fire
Robert Pattinson, hire Ethan Peck and stick the musky Cobaine
hair on him.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Call it a day. Nice.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
I'm already tired of Robert Pattinson's bitchin why, Like I'm
because he keeps saying the same shit over and over
again and complaining, and I'm like, dude, and then you'll
be mad if the script isn't great.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Well maybe, but at least it'll be moving by then.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
All right, I'm with him.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
This thing should gone. He should he should have been
at work already.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
I just you know, I look, I'm pretty consistent. I
feel like, you know, I try to be fair. At
least when Catherine Heigel showed on the Writers and Grays Anatomy,
I wanted them to kill her off. Yeah, so, you know,
with the Robert Pattinson, I'm like it, stop being so
shitty and impatient. I you know, it's not like echoing
the sentiment of angry fans who doesn't understand who you
(15:18):
know that you can't always get exactly what you want
when you want it. Yeah, it doesn't help anything.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
There's a space I have some of you were kind
of in between where like, yeah, a lot of stuff's happened,
and legit delays were necessary, but it's also been like
five years, maybe Russia, maybe Russian a little bit.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
But I you know me personally, I'm still in the
camp of like Penguin was your Batman two.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
I know, I know, But well to that other point,
That's something I think I've said before here is like
I I understand all the delays, but at some point
you've got to get that fucking movie on the screen
or it won't matter. I even get that Penguin was
there for it, but you've still got to actually get
the movie on the screen.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Yeah. As much as I love Penguin, I think it
may have been a mistake.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
As far as the splitting the format of there for
a second.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Yeah, I mean, I just think, like you know, people
are it has created a narrative where even people like
you who know exactly what the fuck happened, We've talked
about it on the show add nauseum, like Penguin was
Batman two and then they said, no, we want to
make it a show. Well I know, but and so
we even other people like us are going, oh, well,
(16:22):
they just need to get it up or it won't matter,
it'll fucking matter. No.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Well, I mean the problem is like, if you wait
long enough, the audience just will move on without you,
Like they'll go see it, but they won't go see
it like that what have You will lose the momentimum.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
And yeah, you're right.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
I think that is the mistake though, is like it
was great to make it a show, and for the
entigrity of that show, I think it made a fucking
great one. But I do feel like there should have
been something in the place.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
It seems like that all went to that maybe or something.
I don't know. A lot of delay has happened for
a lot of reasons.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
But what didn't happen is in place of that timeline,
another movie make it to screen in time, in any real
kind of time.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
I don't know. Man, I feel bad for Matt Reeves.
You know, you're developing a thing, You've got a script
written out or at least an outline, and then they're like, Nope,
you got to make it into a show and Okay, well,
now what I'm going to do, And then in the
middle of the show you realize, oh, holy shit, Sophia
Falcon is going to be like a fucking beast and
there's no way she's not going to be popular as hell,
and she was Penguin was crazy, and I think Penguin
(17:16):
will like satiate the appetite and you know, let make
people keep that momentum going at the very least, I'll say,
I mean, especially when you consider like you know, Dark
Knight Rises and how everyone was just like amped after
like whatever it was four or five years. Yeah, you
can absolutely hold off for a little while, and if
the product was good enough in the first place, there
(17:37):
will absolutely be people coming back and you know Jack,
you know, jacking their chains to it. But at the
same time, I kind of feel like, what's hurting Batman
two more is them not making it part of DCU.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Well that's see, Sam is the same kind of problem,
Like it's lingered so long that now you're running into
problems like if if there was another movie there, so
like with Penguin there you've it might have sat there
in the background. But right now, what you accidentally did
also was make us all think about it again. Yeah,
so now that we're thinking about it, we're like, you know,
it's been half a decade.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
I need that movie. And then on the other hand, yeah, like.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
I now you've let it hang out so long that
we're all thinking about this new universe. You could have
stuck it in right before the deadline there, m hm
and not had to worry about it. But it's just
bordering in a new question. I feel bad because, on
the one hand, I feel bad for him. I understand
how it's happened, but I feel like I'm also just
watching the shot cluck run out. It's just technical information
for me.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Here's the weird thing for me, and I understand that
I'm the I'm the weirdo. I don't give fuck. Like,
if they never make a Batman Part two, I'm all right.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
I actually I don't care.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Mind as far as that I could, I could be
told that it was all over after that and Penguin
and be kind of.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Okay, yeah, uh, you know, we see that bat signal
at the end of Penguin and you know you you
know it, Oh okay, Yeah, this is a dance that'll
go on for a while.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Yeah, like this is, this is just as this is.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Uh, you know, Angel going, I kind of want to
slay the dragon cut to black. Yeah like this this
is These are the lives of these icons. This is
what will happen. And at the very least we've seen
something captivating.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
I would live in that. And god knows we've lived
with worse.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Oh we sure have. Like uh, you know, Batman standing
on top of the fucking dark Knight returns bat Tank
and guess what, it's a cul de set kids like man,
I don't want to you know, you know, if you're
new to the show, I am not pro Snyder cult
with the constant haranguing and bitching and moaning and whatnot.
(19:37):
But man I would love to see Justice leap two
and three. Oh of course, man I would love to
see that story finished. I'm not mad at James Gunn
I understand, I get it. Yeah, I wouldn't want to,
you know, risk the slice of my biscuit, like on,
you know, continuing a thing that had already proven to
not be quite as as successful as you wanted it
(19:58):
to be.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Like if you actually had the between which one I'd
start the new universe now?
Speaker 2 (20:03):
I would try my own thing. Yeah, I'm not mad
at him. I'm not. It's fine, but man, i'd love
to see the rest of that. Of course, that's all
I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
But it does feel like there's a lot of people
who I don't know. It feels like loving both kids
maybe in a way. Yeah, I separate them, well pretty completely.
They're not they're not borrowing the same oxygen for those
who to live in my head.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Yeah. I want all the things. Yeah, but I'm also
okay if I don't get them.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
HBO executive Sarah god HBO executive Sarah Aubrey I was
talking about Penguin season two to the Hollywood Reporter, said, look,
we're using the model that Casey and Francesca Orsey have
deployed many times over many successful limited series. If there
(20:51):
is more story to tell, and there may be in
that world, but you don't want to follow up something
excellent with something less excellent. And it took a very
long time to at this show made, and we had
many different iterations, so I'm just like, can I please
just enjoy this for a second. But as we say,
we never shut the door, so we don't know if
there's gonna be a Penguin season two. There talks about it,
but they don't want to rush it. And I feel
(21:13):
the same way about Batman Part two. If they make it.
You know what if Pattinson is old, fuck it? Who cares?
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Cool, cool, there's no reason you cannot time pass in
the movie in the universe as I really feel for her,
I can you please shut the fuck up and let
me enjoy?
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Yeah? Yeah, Deadline is reporting Colin Ferrell is taking the
role of Sergeant Rock. Now. It's Deadline, so it's got
a little gravitas behind it, but at the same time
it might be really old and really defunct. We haven't
heard yet from many official sources.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Yeah, Deadline we mostly trust, but every once in a
while it will get you.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
No. Look, a lot of people are saying, no, no's man,
you can't play Penguin. Why why Penguin doesn't look like
Colin Ferrell? No point? And also this is multiverse, so
like he's not even in the same universe. Sergeant Rock
would be DCU, Ping would be an else world. Yeah,
that would they don't even look the same.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
That would be one where.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
If it distracts you, it's just you reaching for it
to be a distraction.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Mmm.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
I think on that one it yeah, I have to
or I had to constantly remind myself here in the
course of watching that show that it was him.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Should be a problem. I'm I'm fine with it.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Now. Well, uh, why don't we just go ahead and
go to a break real quick and then we'll finish
up with some WBT. Yeah you can get.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
Ready, Yeah, be right back.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
All right, we are back and uh, you know what
time it is? Is what it is, It's time for
It's time for WBT.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Did you get a real prop for that one?
Speaker 2 (22:46):
I did. I just wanted to drink some water and
I was like, save it.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
I have an opportunity for this coming up.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
A report and Puck has detailed the tumultuous tenure of
wbhead It's Michael de Luca and Pam Abdy, who have
apparently overseen multiple projects that went over budget. In the
report from Puck states that Warner Brothers Discovery CEO David
Saslav is quote leaning toward replacing them, with Peter Saffron
taking over the gig. HM now Robert Gibbs, as Lav's
(23:19):
a spokesperson, told Buck there is no truth to that rumor.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
Okay, wo want.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
All right, okay, and yet people are like believing that shit. Man,
people are all over it. Oh my god, Now are
they gonna do it? They're gonna ruin dec Studios. They're
cutting up the team.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Yeah, that's my immediate thought is now you're busy.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
You keep that resume under the uh in that locked
office drawer for a couple of death betting a couple
couple of years at least.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
I will say mm hmmm uh when I think of it,
and I'm sure I'm wrong. I'm one hundred percent sure.
I am absolutely incorrect.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Love where this is starting.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
However, all right, probably because of how much you hear
from Gun. When I think of them doing work, I
think of Gun furiously working at a typewriter while Peter
Saffern sleeps on a couch behind him. It's it's the
it's the family guy. Goodwill hunt a bit.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
But that's exactly it.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Yeah, with Matt Damon doing all the work and Ben
Affleck asleep on the couch.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Behind him, Stone it makes some sense.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
I just don't think it's true.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
I believe it is.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Actually, Yeah, I think he's doing unsexy stuff.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
It probably is the it.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
I think it's why a lot of us well, one
the actual assignment of the word producer means almost nothing sometimes.
And two it's a bunch of stuff that we don't see,
so it's really hard to know just what the hell
that Dud's up to on a daily basis.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Also all the things we see, like he's the one
handling money and yeah, making sure locations are gotten, doing
all this other shit that we don't know.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Yeah, threatening unions, you know, jobs, just jobs that have
to be done.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Yeah, it's almost It reminds me of David Cross from
that episode of news Ready where he's like yelling at
Bob oden Kirk, my job makes your job happen.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Yeah, all right.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
So Alan Richson, God bless him to promote Reacher season three,
he did that autocomplete interview for Wired where you know
you rip off the fa the most searched queries on
Google and talks about him. One of the cards contained
the question is Alan Richon playing Batman? And he laughed
(25:28):
and he was a good sport about it. He was like,
what's amazing to me about this rumor of the Batman
desire and the zeitgeist is the fact that James Gunn
has personally announced publicly on his Twitter lo ol, he
is not playing Batman and this thing will not die.
I get asked every day if I'm playing Batman? Would
I play Batman? Yes? You wouldn't even have to pay
(25:50):
me to be that man.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
See that's the energy.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Yet I feel like I want someone to ring to it.
Speaker 3 (25:58):
But yeah, I get it, he said.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Dude. He even said Gotham is mine in like a
Batman voice, and I was dude, I was sold. Yeah,
I was sorry to watch this now Yeah, yeah, I
mean I would be happy for him to play Batman.
I'm fine with it. Yeah, that season, you got to
watch it.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
If you're like Saffron, is that an official offer?
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Bang? You like? Yeah, because we'll talk. Are are you
ready to save some money decent? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (26:27):
I think I have to pay some sort of minimum
just to keep within trade rules. But like you know,
we're talking that amount of money.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Like, motherfucker, we will pay you scale.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Yeah, hop right in here. Yeah, clearly, clearly the fans
be okay. But I really would even after all that,
even if you actually said, hey, we heard he was
doing it for cheap and we were up for it,
I'd be like, you know what, this works for me,
I'll see all in two years.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Uh huh, absolutely. All right. So there's some y'all. Remember
that Batgirl movie that got canceled. There was some behind
the scenes footage that got leaked. It was, you know,
footage of boreography of her fighting some dudes and people
are acting ridiculously outraged. Oh the choreography was so fluid. Oh,
(27:11):
she's battling combetants of varying size and getting a hurled
through walls. Oh, it would have been peak peak cinema.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
It looked like neither that nor particularly shitty. It was
just sort of a fight scene.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
Now, by the way, no one championing this thing is
talking about the gag where she gets thrown into a
bathroom where a dude is taking a ship. Yeah that's terrible,
And then we watch her continue to fight over the
shoulder of the guy while he's fucking wiping.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Yeah, yes, it's a real masterpiece, y'all.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
I was not happy with that bit.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
Look quality wise is obviously very rough. It's unfinished. It's
very pixelated. Because it's this leak, it's unfinished. There's no score,
it is a few haggard steps away from set pictures,
but still based on this I'm good. My hand to god.
I think I have seen behind the scenes action footage
of Arrow that looked better than this shit. Sorry, this one,
(28:00):
I wouldn't. This one can stay encrusted in one of
the darker crevices of the of the source wall.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Yeah, if it was based on just that, I would
much like I saw it and thought, there's like scenes
where she's just running at walls that would you could
edit a couple of these moments out and it would
be real, you know, punchy, I guess the wording there,
but like, yeah, cut out the toilet paper gag, regular
fight scene and had some kind of score on it.
It was like an electronic thing that like seemed fine
(28:28):
if that it was just like tension building electronic stuff,
you know.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Okay, Yeah, it's like a placeholder music.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Yeah, it's there's nothing just outrageously wrong with the scene
in my opinion. It's just kind of regular fight scene though,
But like, yeah, I don't. I don't know why anyone would.
I don't know why anyone would champion it or just
try to like it knock up or it's pretty standard, Like,
I'm surprised this is what leaked.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
What was the goal?
Speaker 2 (28:50):
I don't know. Well, the goal is to get outraged.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
So that they gets well in that sense, you could
have released anything and gotten whatever someone's cataloged. Knee jerk
response was the moment they got the footage.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
But like, this was like a concerted effort across various outlets,
because people are just like the people who are alerting
everyone making it making us all aware, are all talking
it up like it's like bullshit, like oh how dare they?
And that's what makes me angrier actually than anything is
(29:23):
because it's people who are trying to prove that quote
unquote poor quality wasn't the real reason WV candid as
if they're uncovering the tarp from a decade's lost artifact
previously thought to have been lost to the sounds of time.
It was never that the film was poor quality, and
that's not exactly what they said. It was officially that
the movie was not of theatrical quality. Looking at this,
(29:46):
I agree it's not of theatrical quality. It looks like
CW quality, yeah, which means which is fine if you've
got that budget. But that just means you can't put
it on a giant fucking screen. And I expect the
general audience to go, well, this is good shit, because
it's not gonna work. If you've got one hundred thousand
people who are watching a CW, they're shrugging and going,
(30:07):
this is pretty good for c W. Yeah, that's all.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
That's probably that word. But I I don't know.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
I did small enough sample that was a forty three seconds. Yeah, no,
that's enough of a glimpse to see you know what
that prorection style is like. But yeah, there's plenty of
ways you could maybe you'd be telling a grander or
a smaller story in certain ways, and like you could
probably get it by But w B.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Never said it was poor quality, and that was a
piece of shit. He said it was not theatrical quality.
Those are two different things. This was made as a
small budget streaming film. It does not mean poor quality.
It means less quality than what one would expect from
a theatrical film. Yeah, and if you'll all recall David's
as Laff said, and the numbers do meet this out
by the way, that movies fare way way way better
(30:49):
on streaming if they are released theatrically first. Yeah, but
the problem with Batgirl in that regard officially is that
it would take away too much money to go back
and augment it, meaning copious reshoot. Yeah, so they could
just release it in theaters and then people would be complaining, well,
I could believe they released this in theaters instead of
on streaming, No fucking shit. So the smartly unspoken part
(31:11):
of this, though, as I've said before, is that Batgirl
was a movie set in an abandoned post Flash universe
that was a combination of Snyder Verse and Burton Verse.
Pat Engel was never Jim Gordon, it was always JK. Simmons.
There has never been afflict the Michael Keaton was Batman
and had a Robin. It was also a universe which was,
according to every rumor at the time, going to focus
on Batman. Sorry, I'm Batgirl a Supergirl from the Flash
(31:33):
instead of Superman and Batman being Cavil and Affleck. So
why would they keep that part quiet? Because they didn't
want the incoming production team Gun and Saffron blamed for
not following through on a dead universe idea, which it
did kind of work. Like, people are still like, okay, Blue.
So it was poor quality. Now you fucking didn't listen.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
That's where the real that was, where the real story was.
To me, it just didn't fit anymore, and it would
be shooting yourself on the foot to try to make
that money. But I do the other part that you
haven't talked about it was just how angry industry people were,
because even if that's right, it still doesn't make it
okay to have made that movie and not released it.
It's it's still a lot of broken promises if you're
(32:12):
people who might work for Warner Brothers one day.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Yes, but also it's a thing that like you know,
Kevin Smith talked about in the early odds with Prince, like, Yeah,
sometimes you make a thing and it just doesn't come out.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
It does it does?
Speaker 1 (32:21):
Yeah, though, And I don't I don't know the little
bits of people. Yeah, Michael Keaton theory. I thee got
the check wash So I'm good.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
M m.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
But like I I'd love to see like a survey
of people or something. But it seemed like I sell
snippets where people felt like this was a little bit
more of a slap in the face than that normal
kind of course of events where shit just doesn't happen
to get on screen. Sometimes this one felt more like
burning it down and selling the parts than normal, But
to be fair, that was in the context of Zaslov
(32:52):
burning things down and selling things for parts. So I
think there's a little bit of like Column ABC and
D as far as how this thing didn't make it.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
Yeah, I mean it's not like Rocket Science. They literally
reshot and reshot and reshot that ending for the flash
because they didn't know where they were going. And then
when Gun and Saffron and everybody, oh, okay, we're not
following through in a cool yeah, let's reshoot it one
more time.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
You know, that is probably why that climax scene is
just basically on an open, giant, blank void, so you
could go shoot twenty endings not knowing what the fuck
your universe was about.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
To be up to. Yeah, oh yeah, no set pieces.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
Story ranch here, We'll just blue screen everything we actually
have to fix.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
We'll do it, y'all.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
Do these twenty different basically do the thing that you
know that cheers did, I guess, and shoot a few
mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
What's hilarious to me though, is that, you know, Gun
and Saffron are kind of the reason that this the
Batgirl didn't happen like says, I've killed it, but honestly,
like they killed it because their plans had nothing to
do with whatever this was. This was a walterra Hamada thing,
which went, by the way, was a fucking stupid plan
from Walter Rahmata like to be like, no, let's get
(33:57):
rid of Batman and Superman, focus on Batgirl and Supergirl,
but also make Michael Coaton look a Nick Fury character.
Would it be cool? Some parts of it would be,
But we kind of saw a lot of what Waterramato
was working on and it wasn't great. We all watched
Black Adam, Yeah, we all saw the second Chozam movie. Yeah,
Like it was fine, but it wasn't like knocking my
(34:18):
dick in the dirt or anything. It wasn't making me
feel like do you see us back. I was just like, well,
this is a strange fucking farting out of a universe.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Yeah. If it if it had the momentum and the
kind of scaffolding of the other movies at that time,
we'd have just been like, well, all right and moved on.
But I moved on to the next thing. Importantly, the
next thing that was happening in that momentum, but now
we didn't. By then it was just it's just weird
little sparkles from a dying fire. Dude, I don't know
what to do with all of that crap.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
But what's funny is that people are blaming or not
blaming Gun and Saffron for killing Batgirl, which they kind
of did, but just by virtue of not wanting to
go that rouch. But uh, they're blamed for killing Snyder Verse,
which they absolutely did not.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
Yeah, that was Emrick and Hamada that died so so
much farther before his time. Yeah, oh god.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
And they made they went through painstaking efforts to make
sure that they knew when we got the four hour
cut that we should consider this a fucking gift and
not ask about anything else. Yeah, they were abundantly clear
about Like it was like.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
The day it released, they were like, by the way.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
We'll get too excited about that. They just undercut it
from the day one.
Speaker 3 (35:31):
I mean, it wasn't.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
Yeah, all right, we got to talk about this State
Farm ad. I'll post a link to it in the
show notes. The premise of the commercial is, if you
want quality insurance, you'll sign up with State Farm and
be protected by someone like Batman. If not, then you
could be stuck with the baitman aka Jason Bateman in
a cape and superhero soon getting kidnapped by villains.
Speaker 3 (35:56):
I loved it, you love it. I loved it all right. Yeah,
they had.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
For a commercial that was an absolute banger.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
For a commercial that was fun. I had a couple
of chuckles.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
I really, I would be way more interesting just advertising
might last in a way where it's like minute and
a half. We really put some serious thought into this.
I was genuinely compelled by commercial for a second.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
Yeah, I And they'd been hinting at it. They had
been hinting at it with a little like, oh, here's
a shot of the bat signal. Oh, here's a shot
of Joker dancing on the street and laughing. And then
there was this, you know, building up to this long
ass commercial. I thought it looked cool, you know, great
for commercial. I'm not feeling what most people are not
(36:42):
most I don't know, I don't know how many, but
all over social media people are demanding this guy play
this playing Joker. Here is the DCU Joker. They're demanding
the guy playing Batman is going to play DCU Batman. Uh, yeah,
we didn't get that much to be saying that. Shit, Yeah,
it'd be a little bit off it. This is like
fan casting, gone, wow, just a commercial. It's a commercial,
(37:05):
and you know, if you really look at it as
you know, maybe a little less than CW level, it's
just okay, like coold really cool look for everybody.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
I was surprised they went through as much makeup as
they did, but yeah, they really went for it on
the costumes.
Speaker 3 (37:21):
They actually, yeah, you.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
Know, bothered doing some I mean, I know, they just
grabbed some of the handful of like really popular villains.
But it wasn't some marketing execs swipe at their half
fucking McDonald's happy mill memory of a DC character.
Speaker 3 (37:36):
Yeah, at least it.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
Was an actual joke about the Riddler, which was actually funny.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
But yeah, it's not Jeopardy just killing. Yeah, that was funny,
that's funny. Uh, the villains were a little over the top.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
Actually, go to a podcast. Oh that hurts, That got.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
Me, Yeah, just go to a podcast. Yeah, I did
like life at the part where he was like looking
at the guy in the trap and going, mmm, yeah,
I think this is more of a batman.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
Yeah, it's not a bad fucking commercial.
Speaker 2 (38:09):
It's not.
Speaker 1 (38:11):
Let's pretty happy with it. Like, if I actually see
that thing come on again, I'll probably won't. I actually
won't turn it off. I'll sit there and watch bro
surprises anyone. I'm not going out to change my insurance company. Yeah,
that good, but no advertising is.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
Yeah, it's just like a it's a weirdest commercial.
Speaker 1 (38:25):
Though, I think honestly at this point, you know how
that because like I'm not going to go change entrance.
I think at this point they just want the next
time you're like, screw whatever one I'm with, let me
go look for somebody else. They just want you to
think of them. Oh yeah, and try that first.
Speaker 3 (38:38):
That's it. But mm hmmm, it depends on what you're
going for.
Speaker 1 (38:41):
I mean right now that that emu's pretty catchy.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
Don't they sell insurance? I think they do.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
I don't know who the liberty ah, some kind of insurance.
All I know is those are the commercials used to
delight me and now they bug me.
Speaker 3 (38:54):
Which ones the liberty liberty meat one?
Speaker 1 (38:57):
I actually did stop and I actually hit replay on
an end the other day because I ran across the
recent one where they gave the amy a backstory. Came
from a farm, yeah and something ear there.
Speaker 3 (39:07):
Oh that's cute.
Speaker 1 (39:08):
Okay left the farm for his big city dreams.
Speaker 3 (39:10):
All right, well that's good. That's good job, good job.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
Yes, yeah, I've seen that one so many times.
Speaker 3 (39:14):
I never ran across.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
I did chuckle out at the first time I saw it.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
Honestly, However, if I was not likely you told me that,
I would think. That's the highest praise I ever hoped before.
Speaker 3 (39:23):
Thank you. You chuckled at it one time before after
that being mad about every time you saw it. That's
the most I could hope.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
Yeah. Yeah, they're about forty sixty hit rate on me
for right now with Liberty Mutual. All right, so I'm
gonna end it off on some sad news. Greg SIPs,
who does the voice beast Boy on Teen Titans and
Teen Titans Go and Young Justice, Uh, says a little update.
(39:53):
I've healed myself from skin cancer, COVID, heavy metal poisoning,
chronic disease, and the bones, and now I got diagnosed
with the early onset Parkinson's disease, which I'm gonna beat too.
You're gonna be able to come with me on this
healing journey and rejoice and learn a bunch audios and
see you soon. So, of course the best vibes and
thoughts and prayers and all that, uh pushed forward to Greg.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
Everyone he sounds real saying for I was as that
sentence played out, I realized that was all in sequence
rather than all at once. But for a second sounded
like he was hospitalized for all those at once.
Speaker 3 (40:26):
I was thinking, Dear God.
Speaker 2 (40:28):
Yeah, no, no, I think it was a secret.
Speaker 1 (40:31):
Capital G himself tried to kill this dude, Capital G.
Speaker 2 (40:37):
Greg Blan, Yeah, no, Kaufman, google it.
Speaker 1 (40:42):
Yeah, Jeff Johns, all right, now we're getting into plausible.
Speaker 2 (40:49):
Oh well that's all I've got.
Speaker 3 (40:52):
Man, that'll work, that'll work. Happy to rapid for a moment. Yeah, Yeah,
that girl was exciting. I was. I was wondering when
that happened. It had to happen eventually, right, some part
of it would leak? Yeah, I am still a little bit.
I do wish I could.
Speaker 1 (41:06):
I wish I could hear from a reliable source what
the what the game plan was, what they thought was
gonna happen when you release that particular piece of footage.
Speaker 3 (41:13):
Or if you're just like, now this is the forty.
Speaker 1 (41:15):
Three seconds I have. It doesn't matter what it is.
I'll just send it out the door. But yeah, everyone
had their opinions preloaded.
Speaker 3 (41:21):
It didn't matter what hit the ground.
Speaker 1 (41:23):
Yeah, it could have been the opening title sequence, man,
just the bat symbol.
Speaker 3 (41:26):
It wouldn't matter.
Speaker 2 (41:27):
Yeah, and it kills me as the people who are
like super super for it and wanted to release, you know, like,
those are the people who are gonna like if it
was released, they would be they would watch it and
then be mad because there's not gonna be more. Yeah,
of course, I'm like, what the fucker you knew there
was not gonna be more? Why would you get mad?
You sat there said, I understand it's not gonna be more.
I just want to see it. Okay, well here you go.
(41:48):
Well no, because there's not more?
Speaker 1 (41:50):
Yeah yeah, yeah, I get it. I genuinely don't know
if I would have released it either.
Speaker 2 (41:56):
I doubt it based on what I'm saying, I don't
think I would have. I think I'm think I'm in
zaz Lab's camp on this one.
Speaker 1 (42:02):
It would have had to be pretty incredible, And by
that I don't mean it if it was a good movie,
I think I might have still benched it.
Speaker 3 (42:09):
It would have to be stand out incredible for me
to not because of the dead Universe theory.
Speaker 2 (42:14):
Yeah, oh, I mean it's not even a theory, man.
Speaker 3 (42:16):
Well you're not even a theory. The dead theory are
the dead universe issue.
Speaker 2 (42:19):
We know it's dead. We know Sashal Kanye is not
coming back a super cool I mean, like we know
Michael Keat's not coming back as Batman. Everything is dead.
Speaker 3 (42:29):
Yeah, it's going.
Speaker 2 (42:32):
The poor quality that was never like the most pertinent issue,
Like if it had been so really good quality, they
may have been, like because you know, we heard rumors
that Batman was only in it like five minutes or
some crap. Yeah, okay, let's throw a few more million
at it and really make it a thing, James can
can you make it work for your universe? Okay, sounds great,
(42:53):
but no, no, no, not from based on what we
just saw.
Speaker 1 (42:56):
M mmmmm m it wasn't over the top endredib well,
at least.
Speaker 2 (43:01):
That should a little like State Farm had a couple
of million on.
Speaker 3 (43:03):
It, it really did. We'd like to know much I
spent on that commercial.
Speaker 2 (43:06):
I kind of want to know.
Speaker 1 (43:07):
Babman alone can't be cheap, ye can't.
Speaker 3 (43:10):
I'm not that damn cheap?
Speaker 1 (43:16):
Pretty gon to do Bribeman with insurance like.
Speaker 2 (43:18):
Or the Purple Mattress, maybe.
Speaker 1 (43:21):
That has to be actually a hard thing if you're
in the insurance game, Like you can't what am I
gonna do, like ensure the ship out of you if
you promote my product. I can only ensure you up
to a point. I think it's a law after a while,
hard to get kicked back.
Speaker 2 (43:34):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (43:37):
You could probably find if he does speaker meetings, you
can usually find his you know, speaker rate whatever that
is somewhere mm hmm. But even those those are usually
like I mean, like super expensive. Somebody might be a
quarter grand or something, and that quarter grand like two
under grand or something like that, And but those are ridiculous,
like Will Smith before the slap, kind of levels of expensive.
Speaker 2 (44:00):
The slap.
Speaker 1 (44:01):
I assume that affected his strike price.
Speaker 2 (44:05):
Probably marginal. Yeah, I don't think it. I think it was.
I think several things affected his price before that happened,
Like he had a string of failures at the box office.
You know, he wasn't really you know, your price isn't
gonna be that high if like the last success, the
latest success you've had was the bel Air Show on Peacock, Like, sorry,
(44:27):
will nobody gives a ship anymore?
Speaker 3 (44:29):
Maybe he's gonna be one of those, including.
Speaker 2 (44:31):
Your wife who's been cheating on.
Speaker 1 (44:32):
Yeah, he probably is one of those people though that
even if he goes through a slump, like, there's gonna
be a fifth project and it'll hit just fine and
he'll be fine for another ten years.
Speaker 2 (44:43):
Yeah, I'm not saying he won't come back, and he's
already he's already bounced back so to some degree, Like.
Speaker 1 (44:48):
Like, I don't think he sweats it when he gets
out of the you know, heavy limelight for a second. Da,
I'll be back, no worry about it. But then, since
I was fucking eleven.
Speaker 2 (44:55):
I'm gonna go on Graham Norton rap with the audience,
the fresh Prince thing, Yeah, regenerate some good, will be
back in no time, Throw on a simple beat and
go ha ha and everyone will go, oh, yeah there
he is. We like that guy.
Speaker 3 (45:10):
Can I do after to now? No?
Speaker 2 (45:12):
No, never, calm down, you poor cuck bastard.
Speaker 3 (45:23):
Oh alright, sorry.
Speaker 2 (45:29):
I don't think he was actually talking about I don't
think he was actually talking to Chris Rock when he
said keep my wife out of your mouth, keep your
keep my wife out of your mouth. Oh, you weren't
talking to Chris. You weren't talking to Chris. You were
talking to that other guy.
Speaker 1 (45:44):
There might have been some misplaced I still do that day.
Maybe that's what Denzel explained to him in the in
the break.
Speaker 2 (45:49):
Yeah, maybe you're not mad at Chris, Buddy, You're not
mad at Chris. Who am about at? Buddy?
Speaker 3 (45:56):
There's a small list right now. You know you fucked up.
Speaker 1 (45:58):
When Denzel has to come calm ship down for you,
that's got to be a small that's got to.
Speaker 3 (46:05):
Just come with a level of embarrassment.
Speaker 1 (46:07):
Denzel had to talk some sense into me.
Speaker 2 (46:09):
Was he kind about it?
Speaker 3 (46:10):
Of course he was, of course he was. He was gracious.
It was even more embarrassing because of it.
Speaker 2 (46:15):
It made me feel sick. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (46:17):
The worst part was it feel like a disappointed him,
like yeah, of course of course he did that too.
