(00:01):
Yo-yo yo, it's your boy Bernard.And welcome to another episode
of the Angry Blurred Podcast where I'm discussing everything
dirty that has caught my eye. This week.
As you guys can hear, I'm doing a little bit better as far as
the vocal side of things. Probably still going to cough a
little bit, but not as much as last week.
But at this point in my life, I really feel like my body is
(00:22):
falling apart because like I said last week, I was sick.
Started to get a little bit better.
My joints weren't hurting anymore.
It wasn't COVID, so thank goodness for that.
But on Monday I had a scratch inmy throat.
Still do. It's not as bad as it was
earlier this week. And I decided to take two shots
(00:43):
of whiskey after I ate my lunch roughly about an hour prior.
The whiskey in my lunch did not have a good combination in my
stomach, caused me to vomit excessively.
And I vomited to the point where, yeah, I got a red eye.
It's not pink eye. I just popped the blood vessel.
(01:03):
It's probably going to be like this for like, the next two
weeks or so. So I will be leaving on my
sunglasses. And I felt the need to explain
that to the people who actually view the podcast because they're
probably thinking, why is he wearing sunglasses?
And whenever we wear sunglasses,he'll wear like, the blue light
shade blocking glasses or no glasses at all.
(01:24):
So yeah, there's that. Enough for the rambling of my
personal life. Oh, Speaking of which, I got my
dubby. I am probably going to try the
S'mores and give you guys my opinion of it this week, and
then next week I'll try the Tiger's Blood.
Never had either of these flavors before.
Haven't even opened them yet. So you still see the plastic on
(01:46):
the the ceiling, the ceiling around the containers.
All right, so last week I told you guys spider Man brand new
Dave began production and everyone is excited about it
because I think even Marvel is excited about it because they
(02:09):
aren't closing the sets at all whatsoever.
So there's been a lot of photos of Tom on set and you know, a
few months ago everyone was saying how much is how much is
Tom going to actually be in thismovie because he was filming The
Odyssey around the same time. So I don't know if Marvel got in
touch with Christopher Nolan andwork some things out, but The
(02:31):
Odyssey is actually done filming.
So I guess Tom shot all his scenes.
Like as soon as production on the movie started, he might have
to go back to do some reshoots. But Christopher Nolan isn't
really known for doing reshoots.But anyway, so like I said, a
lot of stuff has been coming outon set, like the first day he
walked out. I don't know if they're actually
in New York. Oh, I'm sorry, they're actually
(02:53):
in Glasgow. So that was made to look like
New York City. And, you know, everybody was
losing their shit. We actually got to see some
practical web swinging. Don't know if that was actually
Tom or if it was a stunt. 99 times out of 10 is a stunt
double because you really can't put, like, an actor in that
(03:14):
situation unless they, like, completely vie for it and
they're going to take all responsibility for it, like, you
know, Tom Cruise. So yeah, when I remember when
John Watts was doing promo for, I think it was either Homecoming
or No Way Home, he was saying that for the actual web swinging
(03:37):
would look weird. But I can honestly say this does
not look weird. So he might have dropped the
ball on that one. But like I said, photos galore.
We got a video of him like on a on a car supposed to be stuck to
that. I'm going to see if I can find
(04:00):
the video of him web swinging and post that because the video
of him on the car is like 6 seconds long.
But I mean bro it looks good so far.
I'm not complaining at all. I don't know what happened to
it. Did I share it, save it in my
liked videos? I mean my like post because it
was on Twitter, so let's see if it's on here.
(04:24):
Yeah, I don't know where it's at.
I guess it got deleted. Anyway, I'm going to look
forward to see if I can find it and I'll share it because it
looks amazing. That's not a pun on Spider Man,
obviously. But yeah, they even got like the
explosions in the background andeverything.
(04:45):
Everyone's like, oh man, there'sthis one photo of just like him
on top of the car and everyone'slosing it.
They're like, oh man, this man'sor farming, which is just a dumb
saying. It's and I don't, I really
regret saying it. But yeah, it looks like it's
going to be good. And there's still a lot of
speculation on who the villains are going to be.
(05:08):
Is it going to be the inner demons, so on and so forth.
Everyone's just like, Oh my God,who is it?
But yeah, the the suit looks once again, amazing.
All right, so I found one of thevideos of of the web swinging
set, but this wasn't the one that I saw before.
(05:31):
It was like literally like one of like him up front web
swinging. But I, I really, really can't
find that one now. But also in the world of Marvel,
the Punisher special presentation has wrapped up
filming, and there were some setleaks on that as well.
(05:54):
A John Birtthall beating up somepeople like a school bus.
Oh, I found it almost. I'm going to post that video.
And I think that was like, maybelike 10 seconds long or
something like that. Let me see if I can.
Oh, it wasn't a video. It was a GIF.
But yeah, I mean, looks like Marvel is going to have a hell
(06:18):
of a 2026 if the Punisher special actually comes out
around then and we got Doomsday at the end of the year and brand
new day. All right, what is my next
story? My next story is simply this
Final Destination came back in abig way earlier this year.
(06:43):
You know, made a crap ton of money on a low.
Budget. So Warner Brothers said, you
know what we're going to do, we going to run it back.
We are getting a new Final Destination.
Lori Evans Taylor, who Co wrote Bloodlines will be writing this
sequel and that's all that we have.
(07:05):
So like I said, it's going to beweird to see these movies
without Tony Todd because he's in all of them physically with
the exception of three, because 3 is NASCAR, right?
Whichever one the the the racetrack 1 is, I think it's
it's either 3 or 4. I.
(07:26):
Really hope you know, they don'tdrop the ball like a lot of
people saying that Bloodlines was surprisingly good.
I was shocked. But my best movie I've seen all
year. I don't know what this says
about me. It says love the franchise that
says crippling anxiety is a superpower and all the
infuriating happy complacent fools though, you know, deserve
(07:50):
to get smushed. So yeah, I mean, y'all can go
listen to the episode where me and Ryan review Bloodlines and
how we thoroughly enjoyed this movie.
And I mean, it's like one of thefew horror franchises that we
have that hasn't been done to death.
(08:11):
Like, we're not. I don't think we're getting any
new Freddie anytime soon. They're slowly trying to revive
Jason with the Camp Crystal Lakeseries.
The last two Halloween movies weren't so good.
Hellraiser, which was what, 3-4 years ago at this point?
That was surprisingly good. But they just sent that straight
(08:31):
to Hulu. I mean, at this point, do you
consider the Alien and Predator franchises as horror?
Because I consider those action,especially Alien, which started
off as hard, but then James Cameron got his hands on it with
Aliens and turned it into an action franchise.
So I don't know. I really don't know.
(08:55):
But yeah, hopefully that comes out around 20272028, but I don't
know. Anyway, next story, Disney and
AI. So there was a report from the
Wall Street Journal that suggested that Disney plans to
use generated AI elements and Tron, Aries and Moana, but they
(09:18):
were stymied by legal ramifications and in the
potential for public backlash. So as we all know, there was a
strike what, two years ago because SAG after didn't want
studios using AI for things and that was also a part of the
(09:39):
writers strike. But, you know, these studios are
trying to save money and Disney is already pretty much been
caught trying to use generator of AI.
So apparently Disney plans to work with an AI company called
Metaphysic to create a digital deepfake of Dwayne Johnson, AKA
(10:03):
The Rock, who is reprising his role in the live action remake
of Maui to reduce the number of days that he would have to
appear on set. And the whole deal was they were
going to use his cousin to Noah Reed, no relation to me,
obviously, who is his stuck double.
(10:23):
And they said that although the plan was for a small number of
shots, after 18 months of negotiation and work between
Disney and Metaphysics, none of the shots using Reeves
performance will be in the finalmovie when it releases in July
of next year. Wall Street Journal also cited
reports over data security on Disney's ends, as well as the
legal question that lingers overthe broader emergence of
(10:47):
generative AI technology in AI, Who exactly owns the end product
when generated AI models are used to create even a part of
it? So, yeah, so this is all going
to be tricky because at this point, yes, it's a Disney
production. But does Metaphysic, Metaphysic
get any credit in the film besides, like, oh, you know, a
(11:08):
contributor as part of the production?
Like because then can they sue Disney seeing that, you know, we
worked on this movie too and we did all this work because you
guys were lazy and wanted to cutcorners.
But they also didn't say anything about where it was
going to be used in Tron Aries. I'm guessing with a lot of those
light cycle stuff and things like that.
(11:32):
Because as far as I know, we aren't getting another young
clue like we got in Tron Legacy.So I don't think we're getting
the deep fake Jeff Bridges anytime soon.
All right, my next story. So while we're talking about
Disney, Gina Carino, you know her from Deadpool and The
(11:53):
Mandalorian before she got fired, they settled, she settled
her lawsuit with Lucasfilm. The Walt Disney Company and
Lucasfilm are pleased to announce.
So this is the press release that Disney put out.
The Walt Disney Company and Lucas from are pleased to
announce that we have reached anagreement with Gina Carino to
(12:13):
resolve the issues in her pending lawsuit against the
companies. Missus Carino was always well
respected by her directors, Co stars and staff and she worked
hard to perfect her craft while treating her colleagues with
kindness and respect. We look forward to identifying
opportunities to work with Missus Carino in the near
future. So I don't know if you guys
(12:34):
remember because this happened four years ago, she got fired
from the Mandalorian because shewas basically crashing out on
social media. She was mocking COVID mass
mandate, spreading conspiracies about the United States
election, liking post, disparaging the Black Lives
(12:56):
Matter movement and the rioting pronoun usage.
The pronoun usage thing is it's whatever.
But then, you know, I think the Charlotte Broke the Camel's back
was when she was talking about basically being compared.
She basically compared being a conservative to being Jewish
(13:17):
during the Holocaust. And that's all.
Like this was like Iron Man, we got to let you go because now
you're comparing voting for Trump and being MAGA to being
prosecuted, haunted, and murdered for your religion.
So yeah, here's one of the the tweets that she posted about the
(13:40):
pronouns stuff she said. They're mad because I won't put
my they're mad because I won't put pronouns in my bio to show
support for trans lives. After months of harassing me in
every way, I decided to put three very controversial words
in my bio. Beep bop boop.
I'm not against trans lives at all.
They need to find less abusive representation.
(14:03):
I don't recall seeing anyone saying that, hey, you need to
put this in your bio. I'm pretty sure it's optional.
It's not like Twitter or Facebook, Instagram or anybody
says, hey, you must put this in your bio.
So once again, I don't know what's going on with her.
(14:23):
Let's see what she said about the COVID mask mandates.
So she posted a meme that said breaking news Democratic
government leaders not require we all wear blindfolds along
with mass so we really can't seewhat's going on.
OK, once again, dumb. All right, now the conspiracies.
(14:44):
We need to clean up the electionprocess so we are not left
feeling the way we do today. Put laws in place that protect
us against voter fraud. Investigate every state film
every counting, flush out the fake votes, require ID, make
voter fraud. And in 2020, fix the system.
Girl, there's no such thing as voter fraud, really.
All right, let's see what she said about the Black Lives
(15:07):
Matter stuff. OK, so this was one of the when
you can still see people's likeson Twitter, set a video from the
Haas twins. Yeah, Black Lives Matter
protesters screaming elderly couple.
Don't know the context of that because once again, I'm just
looking at screenshots. But yeah, I mean, does she even
(15:30):
really. This is a very weird.
It's not really weird, just likea dumb subject.
It's like you got fired because of the stuff you were posting
and the rhetoric that was aroundit.
It's like you're playing the victim when you're just being
(15:51):
spiteful, hateful bitch at the end of the day.
So yeah, Disney might give you ajob, but that doesn't mean that
you're going to keep that job. So you might get like a special
presentation for Car Doom and Star Wars and that'll be it.
So then they will, you know, come to terms with whatever the
(16:16):
agreement is that you guys have all together.
Like I said, it's it's it's it'sit's just dumb.
But hey, I mean, what can you dowhen you you got the the white
racist South African back and you and that's Elon Musk.
(16:38):
But anyway, yeah, that's all I got for that.
All right, I'm going to take a break.
When I come back, I am actually going to mix this S'mores Dubby
and I'm going to try it and let you guys know how I feel about
it. All right, be right back.
Listen to the Dubby ad. This episode is brought to you
(16:59):

without the crashing jitters. It has no sugar fillers or
artificial dyes. Mix 1 packet or scoop into 8 or
12 ounces of water. Stir or shake well.
Some powderiness is normal and it has all the important

code angry blur 10. All right.
I'm back so I got my s'mores. Let's try this.
(17:44):
Didn't even have to break the seal.
You might have to do a better job with that.
All right, but at least you knowthe actual Tampa Bruce seal is
still on there. Yeah, I just have to find a
(18:04):
scoop. OK.
I got to mix that with milk, so I got to go get some almond
milk. Damn it.
I'll be right back 5 minutes later.
All right, I'm back. So couldn't find the scoop.
So glad I actually keep like a lot of my old scoops from like
(18:27):
my Doug and stuff. This is for other stuff.
And I really thought this would have been like a pre workout
situation where you can either mix it with water or milk.
So milk only for this one. This one will not be going to
work. I won't be taking the tiger
blood and yes, I'm using my Fisher Duffy Shaker.
(18:52):
I do not actually have the the mixture spring that was
originally with it because that was made out of plastic and it
got messed up in my all right, let's try the s'mores.
(19:15):
I like it. OK, like the marshmallow taste
like hits afterward, so that's like the after taste of it.
But yeah, I like the s'mores. I don't well.
(19:38):
Really. There's an after taste and then
an after after taste. So the second after taste might
be like the the stuff of the energy.
The coffee food extra but. Yeah, I like that.
All right, next story. So the Highlander movie that's
(19:58):
been supposed to that was announced like I don't know how
long ago we got an update on that outside of Henry Cavill
being the Highlander and Batiste.
I mean, not Chastehelski directly, Dave Batista.
Has joined the cast, and I don'tthink they gave an update on who
(20:22):
he will be playing. Oh, wait.
Yeah, they did all right. Yeah.
So Dave Batista is joining the cast of the reboot of Highlander
from director Chaz and Husky. Henry Cowell stars as Connor
McLeod, a man who discovers he'san immortal being called the
Highlander. He's opposed by Kurgan, another
Highlander who's been killing them across centuries, and that
will be played by Batista. Also, I don't know if I talked
(20:47):
about this one, but Russell Crowe would be playing Ramirez,
who is the Highlander who takes McLeod under his wing, that
shark Shark Connery played Ramirez in the 86 film.
And obviously Christopher Lambert played McLeod and Clancy
Brown was the Kurgan. So I don't know.
(21:08):
I mean, I was never a big Highlander fan growing up and.
I know a lot of people like oh nerd car revoked.
But just because you're a nerd, that doesn't mean you have to
like everything nerd related. And I'm going to give this a
shot like. Like I said, I wasn't a big fan
(21:29):
of Highlander growing up becauseI didn't necessarily know about
the movies. My introduction to Highlander
came from the show starring Adrian Paul and the obviously
the Queen song Princess of the Universe.
So I would just watch the intro like whenever it would like be
on TVI. Hear me?
(21:50):
But I have inside me blood of kings, yeah.
Shout out to Freddie Mercury make you rest in peace.
So this would be a good introduction to Highlander for
me. And the last live action
Highlander movie that I know of was the one that came out maybe
like the late 90s, early 2000s. And the only reason why I even
(22:11):
knew about that one was because Edge from WWE was in the movie
and he was like in like the trailer for my weight.
Edge is acting now. But yeah, never watched
Highlander in my life. Don't even recall watching the
TV series in general. So hopefully this is good.
Like I said, Chasta Husky's directed it pretty much directs.
(22:32):
Every John Wick film has been instunt work since like the late
90s Was Brandon Lee stunt doubleon The Crow?
So yeah, I'm definitely going tocheck it out.
Obviously Batista's in it and unlike the Snyder Bros, I
actually support Henry Cavill. I pretty much have seen nearly
every Cavill movie that is goingto theaters, with maybe the
exception of. The.
(22:53):
The Ministry of Gentlemanly Warfare, Like I'm gonna go to
his filmography real quick. And I know I'm going on a
tangent. I didn't watch The Witcher
because that wasn't for me. So let's go to film.
All right, I saw. OK, so let's start with possibly
(23:13):
the first movie I ever saw with Henry Cavill in it.
Tristan and his old stars, JamesFranco and Sophia Miles.
So I saw Tristan and his old immortals because that was
bootleg 300 The cold light of day, Man of Steel, the man from
uncle Batman V Superman. Never even heard of Sandcastle.
(23:41):
Justice League obviously. Mission Impossible, Fallout
night hunter. Don't even know what that is.
Enola Holmes, Netflix original Zack Snyder.
Justice League obviously. Black Adam yes.
Didn't watch Enola Holmes too. He was in the flash but he got
cut. I saw Argyll, so yeah, I
basically see a good chunk of Henry Cavill's geography, like
(24:06):
to the mid 2000s. Like only thing I didn't see
that was like very popular was Stardust.
Never even heard of a movie called Whatever Works with Larry
David and Blood Creek. So yeah, I mean, I wonder how
many Snyder? Bros can say they've watched any
of Henry Cavill's stuff outside of the Snyder verse and possibly
Mission Impossible foul fallout.All right, next story is simply
(24:39):
Chris Hemsworth. So a few months ago, Chris
Hemsworth posted a. Video on his social media
basically saying thank you to the fans for enjoying Thor and
justifiably we all lost our mind.
We were like yo, is Chris Hemsworth dying in doomsday?
Is this the end of Thor? So the video obviously the title
(25:06):
was Thank you the legacy of Thor.
And he posted this two months ago and what he originally said
was plant Thor has been one of the greatest honors of my life
for the 5th for the last 15 years I've held Mona, then Stone
Breaker has the God of Thunder. But what truly made it special
was sharing it all with you. Your passion, your cheers, and
your love for this character have meant everything to me.
(25:28):
Thank you for making my journey through the Marvel Cinematic
Universe unforgettable. Up next, Doomsday.
So yeah, I'm just going to read some of the comments that I went
to his YouTube page. Thor's definitely giving his ass
since the Valhalla and Doomsday got scared for a second.
This was the announcement that you were retired from the
character. We don't know why Thor was
crying, but we know why we'll all be crying.
(25:50):
He's in that they're going to make him do this until his 90s
club. I was thinking this was the
announcement of Thor's in in theMCU.
No one will fill up fill the role of Thor better than Chris
Hemsworth. He's definitely the man for the
job. Can't see anyone else being this
close to good. So so good to see an actor
(26:11):
celebrate the character, a comiccharacter they play instead of
crafting on it. No thank you Chris for your
portrayal of Thor. It's been one of the brightest
spots named to you for sure. I guess it's time for the final
in for Thor. All the main Avengers filmed in
2012 when they either died or retired to suffer Thor.
(26:36):
OK, I thought this was a Thor farewell video.
We need 5. We need Thor 5.
So, yeah, he was doing an interview with The Hollywood
Reporter and he said that was that was not his intent to bid
for where he said that was certainly not the intent.
To be honest, my social media team assembled some footage and
we were like, oh, this could be cool.
(26:56):
We'll put some stuff in there and thank the fans.
And I was like, yeah, cool, it'sbeen great.
So we pinned it together and I went off to do something else.
But then I had a few people ask me about it and someone on my
team said, oh, we're giving the wrong impression here.
We didn't do any damage control because there was no damage
control necessarily. But a lot was read into a
little. I was already starting another
(27:17):
chapter of this character and the journey has been one of the
biggest of my career. So that video was a moment of
gratitude and wasn't anything else, but definitely got
misconstrued and perceived in a different way.
I mean, yeah, if you looked at how you freaking wrote.
The description, it seems like, oh, you know, Thor's going off
into the sunset. And the title is Thank you, the
(27:40):
Legacy of Thor. Usually when people think of
legacy, it's what happens after the end.
Like, what is your legacy? You could have put the history
of Thor, that would have been better.
So you might have to get some people, some new people on your
social media to help with wording and things of that
(28:02):
nature. See, like, I'm still sniffling
shit. But yeah, is can you blame us?
That's all I got to say. Can you blame us?
All right, next story, one of like maybe like 15 favorite
characters of mine that have popped up over the past like
(28:24):
decade or so is going solo and that's Spider Punk.
So a lot of y'all got y'all introduction to Daniel Kaluya's
Hobie Brown and Across the Spider verse.
Is the cross right? No, Into the Spider verse Across
is the last one. So yeah, Daniel Kaluya's Hobie
(28:47):
Brown and into the spider verse.But Daniel Kaluya will Co write
a standalone film featuring Hobie Brown.
So Deadline broke the news that the Oscar winning actor, his new
project has been making headlines.
And we all know what that is because I brought it up and we
(29:09):
were all like, huh, The Barney movie, which is still in early
development. They also said that Daniel
Kaluya will write the Spider Punk movie alongside and Jon
Singh. They said that the plot details
are on the wraps and there are no other details at this time.
It's also not confirmed that Daniel Kaluya will be reprising
(29:31):
his role for the characters. Although, you know, we all have
to assume that that is in the works.
So I'm going to give you guys a little bit of history on Kobe
Brown, AKA Spider Punk was created a decade ago.
And Volume 3, it's either, yeah,it's got to be Volume 3 of
(29:52):
Amazing Spider Man issue 10. And he was created by one of my
favorite writers who I've met twice, Dan Slot and artist
Olivier Coppol, for, like I said, the spider verse.
Crossover. And Spider Punk is as punk as
you could be. He's anti establishment as
(30:13):
you've all seen in the movie. He is not a fan of corporations
or fascist, fascist, fascist, fascist, fascism.
There we go. I don't know why that was a word
that was hard for me to say. All right, my next story is
simply this. So Buffy is getting ready for
(30:37):
pre production. And Sarah Michelle Gellar and
Ryan Rila Ryan Kiera Armstrong have been training and we have a
synopsis, a possible synopsis, excuse me, on Ryan's character.
(30:58):
So they said that her character's name is Nova.
She is a 16 year old bookworm who discovers that she's a
vampire Slater and a rebuilt Sunning to Hill split between
griddy old Sunnydale and upscaleNew Sunnydale.
During Vampire Weekend, a festival celebrating the town's
dark past, vampires Jack and Shirley emerged from a
construction site, killing a teen.
(31:19):
And planning a ritual to raise avampire army at the cursed
circle. So I mean, I really don't have
much to say on that plot if that's actually true, because
they don't really tell you much besides 2 vampires pop out of
old Sony Sunnydale and you know,start some shit.
(31:43):
But yeah, hopefully we'll get a trailer or like a teaser or
something by the end of the yearbecause all we can do is hope at
the end of the day, right? Cue that twister of faith that
was song from Coach Carter. Because I'm hopeful.
Yes, I am hopeful for today. Next story, Matt Smith.
(32:04):
Who a lot of us got to know fromhis time on Doctor Who as the
11th slash 12th Doctor, if you want to count the word Doctor,
you know, left Doctor Who maybe roughly A decade ago.
Yeah, 2013 did did a couple movies here and there because,
you know, his his star power started to flourish.
(32:26):
And a lot of those movies have not been good.
See Terminator, Genesis, Morbius, Pride and Prejudice
versus Zombies. Well, Pride and Prejudice and
zombies, Mapplethorpe. He's got a movie coming out this
year called Caught Stealing withAustin Butler.
I will not be reviewing that because it doesn't fit is the
(32:50):
genre of this podcast, although Charlie Houston is writing it
well, wrote it and is based off of his book and it stars several
people who have been in the MCU and the DCU.
So Vincent D'onofrio's in it, but he has been announced to be
(33:12):
joining the cast of Star Wars Starfighter.
This was the movie that got announced that San Diego Comic
Con, but San Diego de Comic Con was AD 23 or Star Wars
Celebration earlier this year. I think it was Star Wars
Celebration that Sean Levy is directing.
You know, guy directed Free Guy did The Wolverine with producer
on Stranger Things, did one of my favorite events fun and Owen
(33:35):
Wilson movies, not funny crashers, but the internship,
the stars Ryan Gosling. So no details on the film
itself, but he will be playing avillain.
And it seems like that's all Matt Smith plays are villains.
So I really hope he actually does a good job because like I
said, my boy Matt Smith needs towin and Hollywood and I hope
caught stealing is good because it looks good from what I've
(33:57):
seen in the trailers. But all right, my next story.
So don't really talk about it this much, don't really talk
about it much on this podcast. But wrestling, WWE in specific
specifically is ending there like 1415 year deal with might
(34:25):
be a decade honestly, with NBC Universal starting next year and
they will be partnering with ESPN.
Apparently we're going to have to get the ESPN app because I
don't think this would be included with ESPN plus, which
(34:46):
was just dumb. So yeah, they put out a post in
starting IN2026ESPN DTC platformwill be the US home of every WWE
premium live event, including WrestleMania.
So Triple H repost. That said, bringing ESPN and WWE
together is monumental to leaders in sports and
(35:07):
entertainment delivering for ourfans in the US.
The partnership presents a massive opportunity for the
brand, our superstars, and the industry as a whole.
Excited what's to come? Get ready for 2026.
Honestly, I just feel like this was a dumb decision because you
already have the deal with Netflix for the international
stuff. Why not just do it all and just
(35:28):
keep it all under the same umbrella?
So does that mean that like Smackdown is also going to be
airing on ESPN or is it going tostay on USA because you just
bumped Smackdown down? You just actually moved
Smackdown to USA like last year after having it on Fox for like
(35:48):
6 years, seven years, whatever. So I really need to look more
into this deal because is this going to be a situation where if
you have ESPN plus, it won't be a part of it?
All right, so I'm looking at it right now.
(36:10):
Shout out the out kick where I'mgetting this from.
This week, ESPN announced an agreement with WWE to to air its
PL. ES exclusively on its upcoming
2999 per month DTC service starting in 2026.
However, not everyone have to pay for the PL.
ES on ESPNDTC. It's just not exactly clear what
(36:30):
who that includes. Previously stated that those who
subscribed through ESPN through a traditional cable a satellite
package would have access to theDTC service at no additional
cost. Yet ESPN made no mention of the
details, announcing this agreement with WWE.
Still, sources say the subscribers of the.
Following. Providers will have will receive
(36:51):
access to WWPLE the no extra cost DIRECTV, Hulu live,
charter, Fubo TV and Verizon files.
So what does that mean for subscribers of you YouTube TV,
the Dish Network and Comcast? As of now, they have to pay the
full price to stream WWE contenton ESPN.
All right, so sailing the seven seas again for my PL.
(37:12):
ES because that makes no sense. I have ESPNI, have ESPN 2/3 for
I think I have every single ESPNchannel except for the Ultra,
which is actual thing after dodgeball.
So yeah, that it's just dumb. It's like I'm not paying $30.00
a month just to watch PL. ES.
(37:32):
Anyway, next story, it's just Warner Brothers in general.
One of the first things that I saw, and I blame Netflix for
this because Netflix once again messed up the game for
everybody. They said that the crackdown on
password sharing will get more aggressive next month for HBO
(37:53):
Max. And so I wonder how does that
affect people like me? Because I am technically not
sharing my HBO Max password. I am sharing my Xfinity account
which has access to HBO Max. So does that count as a bypass?
(38:14):
Because although I do have Max, I mean HBO through my cable, I
still had to make a password forHBO Max.
So can they even like threaten to cancel my service?
Because if they can't, they shouldn't be able to.
But I don't know. I will cross that bridge
whenever I get there. Also, Warner Brothers, they
(38:38):
released their plans as far as film slate goes overall.
So I've seen, we've seen this with Disney and like what they
plan on doing under each umbrella.
But Warner Brothers just said they plan to release 12 to 14
films per year. So they said we plan on doing
(38:59):
one to two major Warner Brothersfilm franchises.
So that could be anything between Dune, The Matrix, Mad
Max, so on and so forth. One to two DC films, obviously
Superman, Batman, blah blah blah.
Three to four New Line releases.New Line is pretty much like
their their horror stuff. So our destination, The
Conjuring things of that nature,one of the two animated films.
(39:19):
So I don't know, like what does that include DC stuff 'cause
like what other animated Warner Brothers stuff do they have?
They pretty much sold every single Looney Tunes thing that
was in production. I think the last thing they did
that was animated outside of Looney Tunes may have been Tom
and Jerry and one to two moderately budgeted original
(39:43):
films. So this is like low level a 24
cheaply made but good stuff likeSinners.
So I wonder how many of those movies I will see.
Try to keep track of it startingnext year, but I probably won't.
So I think it's time for me to queue up the spoiler alert since
(40:06):
I have no more stories. And I am going to talk about
Eyes of Wakanda 4 episode anthology series revolving
around the lore of Black Pantherin the history of Wakanda.
So when I first saw this, I was like, how's this going to work?
(40:29):
Because it is an anthology series, which isn't necessarily
a bad thing, but you know, anthology series, they can be
tricky because they all need to have some type of connecting
factor to them. And the connecting factor is
basically the hot Zara Z Wakandan warriors carry out
(40:50):
dangerous missions. Around the world.
To retrieve by vibranium artifacts throughout history.
So the first episode takes placein 1260.
BCS called Into the Lion's Deer,written by Geoffrey.
Thorne. And directed by Todd Harris.
So basically Noni, who was a former Dormelage, is dispatched
(41:17):
by her superior to go capture a rogue war war dog by the name of
Nakti, who is basically doing what Killmonger wanted to do.
Damn, that's good. He's liberating people, but at
(41:39):
the same time he's also kind of enslaving them and he's going by
the name of the lion. So Noni gets on the ship and she
infiltrates the complex. Killing several of Nazi's
warriors where she eventually beats him and Nazi and his pride
(42:02):
sets off a self destruct device which kills pretty much everyone
with the exception of Noni. And she does not get back the
art, the artifact that she was meant to get due to the fact
that it ends up at the bottom ofthe ocean.
But IKEA invites her to rejoin the Dora Milaj and she's like
(42:23):
Nah I'm good. You know what?
I instead want to become a war dog because I need to see more
of the world and that episode tome was a slow build to this
series. It might have been the weakest
one in my opinion because episode 2 Lies and Legends
directed by John Fain and written by Mark Bernardin is in
(42:45):
1200 BC and this one is a tale as old as time.
As we all know this is about theTrojan War.
We got Helena, Troy in here, Achilles and Odysseus and Bakai.
Also Mimnan who is Bakai? So if you don't know your Greek
(43:07):
mythology, Mimnan was the king of Antheopia, it's son of
Titanius in in Inos. So we found out that Mimnan is
actually a Wakandan warrior who was sent to get back in Wakandan
artifact that contains vibraniumfrom Helena Troy.
(43:29):
And he goes undercover with the with Achilles in the in the rest
of the Greeks. But Achilles who earlier in the
episode defends Minnan joining the army is betrayed when he
(43:50):
lets Helen a Troy in Paris go for the necklace and Mimnon and
Achilles fight and unfortunatelyMimnon does have to kill
Achilles. When Mimnon AKA Bakai goes back
(44:11):
to Wakanda he feels like an outsider because he was gone
from Wakanda fight. They said six years, but as we
see this is connected because Noni, who is older, who is
basically the leader of the war dogs, warns him of the dangers
of the lands outside of Wakanda.And this episode was very good,
(44:35):
but it gave very scorned gay lover vibes with Achilles and
Mennon, which isn't a bad thing.It was a little.
Bit predictable because, you know, the Greeks were fucking
everybody. I was talking to Samir about
this, and Samir calls me autistic all the time, but this
dude knows just too much about history.
And he was like, yeah. Yeah, if you didn't have a lover
(44:58):
boy back in the day, you were. You were looked at funny very
good episode All right, my favorite episode was episode 3
Lost and Found directed by John Fang and Todd Harris.
Once again written by Mark Bernard and this one takes place
in 1400 AD Basha, who is a Wakandan war dog has infiltrated
(45:23):
Khan one to get back a tongue ofa dragon statue that's made from
Vibranium. Basha takes the statue's head
and goes back to Wakanda. But Basha is a such an idiot.
He debriefs his field leader Eboand Councilman Rakim.
(45:45):
And as me saying he was an idiot, he brought back a
stowaway who basically took out a lot of Wakandans.
And. Basha tricks the intruder into a
cafeteria full of war dogs and the intruder beats them all up
and you find out that the intruder is none other than
(46:08):
Jarani who actually found Basha in the snow outside of Kongolong
nursing back to health. He was also gone for like 9
years and they built a relationship together.
But then Jarani obviously found out that Basha stole the statue,
snuck onto a ship and tried to they both tried to explain each
(46:33):
other why they needed the statue.
Basha was trying to say this wasstolen from us XYZ amount of
years ago and Jorani was like you had no right to steal the
statue. And then she revealed that she
was the iron fist. So they fight, and she
eventually takes the tongue out of the Dragon's head, gives it
to Basha, but the Bosha and Ebrocover up the attack by saying
(46:58):
that this was a training exercise to Rakim, who
eventually gives Ebo A promotion.
Promotion. Ebo sneaks Jarani back to the
hangar so that Bosha can take her back to Kunlun with the
statue's head. So that episode was very
hilarious. Bosha is just a rambling idiot.
(47:18):
It was funny, all right, this episode, the last Panther is
where everything connects directed by Todd Harris, written
by Geoffrey Thorne 1896 AD CUDA,who is a older war dog, is
mentoring Prince tafari on his first mission as a war dog to
proceed to retrieve the vibranium acts from adwa, which
(47:45):
is a town in Ethiopia during thebattle of adwa.
But then they get the axe. A random person appears out of
nowhere with the stealth suit and she reveals herself to be
the last queen of Wakanda in thelast Black Panther from 500
years in the future. And she tells them that there's
(48:07):
an alien race known as the Hordewho come and basically destroyed
the world. And the only way that she can
prevent that from happening is if they leave the axe where they
got it from. Because the acts will help a
future king see the wider world and open his borders to a
(48:29):
condom. And they're like, how can we
believe you? And she's like, yo, Tafari, your
Mama. I mean, yeah, your mama's
pregnant. And then she gets pulled back to
the future, and Kuda still doesn't believe her.
But then Tafari tells the food, Yeah, my Mama is pregnant.
Not that many people know. It's basically like just the
family that knows. And so they have to go back
(48:49):
through the war to the battle toreturn the axe.
CUDA gets injured against the guys, actually has a column
collapse on them while the the future queen is fighting the
Horde and like all of her daughter Melaji are being
murdered. And they're like, how do we know
this is going to work? And she's like, we just have to
trust. Them.
(49:12):
CUDA puts the axe back. They make it back to Wakanda,
Kuda lies about what happened, and Tafar is like, I really
hope, I mean, Tafari lies about what happened.
No, I was right. Kuda.
Yeah, Kuda lied about what happened in Tafar is like, I
really hope this all works out. And then we get a glimpse of the
(49:35):
future where it actually starts,the beginning of Black Panther
with Killmonger in the in the London Museum.
So I was not expecting all this to be connected all the way back
to Killmonger and the First Black.
Panther. Movie.
But I really did enjoy the series.
(49:56):
The episodes are roughly about 1/2 hour each.
Finished it all in one afternoon.
I will definitely give this series AI can give it a nine
like I said, because the first episode, despite the fact that
it's good, it's just a very slowbuild to set up the series,
(50:16):
which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
But like I said, it should have just been a little bit more
better. But that's just me nitpicking.
All right. Episode 6 of Dexter resurrection
cats and mouse directed by MarcoSeja written by Carissa Rain
Dexter and Harrison continue to grow closer as they attend the
(50:41):
funeral of blessings mother Prudis Prudence.
So Blessing actually snaps on Dexter because his girlfriend's
son buys too much ice and despite Dexter trying to help,
Blessing loses it because you actually find out that he was a
child soldier and Sierra Leone. And after funeral Harrison meets
(51:08):
Blessing's daughter and she talked to him about school and.
You know the. Future So he considers going to
NYU, but then he looks at the prices of tuition.
You think it was like $85,000 a year and like if you got room
and board it was like a like an additional like 20 five, $30,000
something like that. And Elsa calls him and asks him
to babysit and she tells him, hey, just make sure he sleeps in
(51:32):
my room because his asthma is acting up due to the fact that
he has a black mold in the closet.
Her slumlord slash landlord comes and says hey yeah, she got
to move because she ain't been paying rent and Harrison
fantasizes about stabbing Vinny.Was the swim Lord in the eye
(51:55):
with a fork? Angel goes to the NYPD to talk
to Detectives Wallace and Oliviaabout his suspicions about
Dexter and Harrison because he gives them the full breakdown to
Dexter and also Harrison D and Dexter's father, who may have or
not, who may have or may not have trained him on how to get
(52:16):
rid of a body. So they're like, yeah, we got to
go see Lady Vengeance. And Batista's like, let me tag
alone. I'm just going to show her
Dexter's picture, see if she recognizes Charlie bribs a guard
who actually killed me and make it look like a suicide.
Allah, Epstein. And you actually firing out that
(52:39):
Prater? Well, Prater scheduled another
meeting, trying to figure out what happened about what to do
with Mia and where, you know, Patrick Harris's character is.
But gives them some more money. And basically leaves them be.
So Dexter starts to trail Gareth.
(53:01):
They actually have a conversation and Gareth finds
out where Dexter lives, kills him before Prater invites them
on another trip. But then Gaxter Dexter finds out
that Gareth has a twin, which was a little bit, you know,
obvious since he's called the Gemini Killer.
(53:22):
And that was the end. Of the episode.
Very good episode. Like I said, if if you couldn't
put two and two together that David Dousematchon was going to
be playing twins because of the Gemini Killer, that's all right,
because. It took me like.
It's like episode 3 to kind of figure that out because he kills
(53:42):
in twos. It's like how many serial
killers can kill in twos you andlike kill two people at the same
time basically. That's not usually how serial
killers work unless there's two of them.
But yeah, very good episode. Sucks that we're not going to
see Kirsten Ritter anymore. We only have two more serial
killers left in Predators group because now it's Gareth's
(54:02):
brother and Eric Stonestreet's characters whose name is Al the
Republican Killer. So yeah.
I don't think I have any more tosay.
You guys. But next week I will be
reviewing episode 7 of Dexter Resurrection as well as the
(54:23):
first few episodes of Wednesday because season 2 did drop
earlier this week. So what is like the first 3?
Episodes or something like that.OK, the first four.
