We getting it back rolling.
So, you know, we glad y'all stuck around and checking us out.
But we're going to have more coming up. We got House of Dragons dropping next

So it's going to be a lot more in the pipeline that's going to be coming down
the pipe for everybody. But, man, you've been all good, my brother.

So, yeah, man. Other than that, can't complain too much. I'm getting back in

(01:09):
my gaming bag, for real. so I'm back in now.
Tekken 8. I'm back in Tekken 8. And it's just random games.
Just kill time. Like Tekken 8, that's my main game right now. And uh...
What else am I playing?
Playing Liza P. Well, actually I beat that. I'm sorry. I beat that.
I'm playing some Assassin's Creed games.

(01:30):
I'm just kind of... I'm really going through my bad catalog and now I got a...
I saw that Undisputed game that's supposed to be dropping soon for boxing.
I want to try to get on it because I missed Hold on, so what's that?
What's the Undisputed game?
Yeah, so I think it's called Undisputed. I think they, I don't know.
They changed that name so many times. Basically, it's a box of games.
Basically, Fight Night without the name Fight Night.
Some of them work. Oh, that's all? Okay, okay.

(01:53):
So, you know, close thing you got. Oh, this Undisputed, yeah.
Yeah, yeah. Oh, it's already dropped?
I think, I think so. No, I'm looking. It's February 10th, it did.
Oh, I'm finna download it when we get off of here.
Yeah, man, yeah. It's basically Fight Night without the name Fight Night because
the closest thing we ever had so far was the UFC joint.
Like, that's the closest thing you kind of had.

(02:14):
But now, I was like, oh, man, get me back with that. I'm good.
So, yeah, that and, like I said, I've been back in my, like I said,
I've been trying to do some pro gaming.
Like, I just came back from Chicago Memorial Day weekend.
So, yeah, I was up, you know, in your birth town. I was up there,
you know what I'm saying, for
a combo breaker, which is the fighting game tournament slash convention.

(02:35):
So, they had, like, Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Tekken, Guilty Gear.
So many others man Killer Instinct Marvel vs Capcom a whole bunch of stuff man I competed in Tekken,
Tekken 8 was the biggest had the most people that submitted because it's the
newest game because it came out literally at the beginning of the year.

(02:57):
I forgot how many. I know for a fact, at minimum, it was, at the convention
total, at least 6,000 to 7,000.
Maybe anywhere from 7,000 to 10,000 people, somewhere around that.
But I know Tekken had maybe like half the submissions easily. Oh, wow. Okay.
Yeah. So I went and competed. I did two and two. See, I did two and two because

(03:19):
I didn't practice for like almost a week straight.
Straight and then the only time i got a chance to
practice was like 30
minutes before i had to start like because like you get tech and eight like
unless you got like a really good high powered like gaming laptop you just better
playing on console like ps5 or xbox something like that so and since i'm not

(03:41):
carrying my ps5 anywhere i'm not doing that i'm not doing that no i was just It's like, well,
I'll just practice while I can and just see what happens.
I went 2-2, so 1-2 matches, lost 2 matches.
But it was my first time ever playing as what's called local play or offline play.
Now I've just kind of been playing online. So it's the first time I've ever
played sitting down with somebody, for real. That's the first time I ever did that with this game.

(04:06):
So, yeah, that's what's been going on there. And then, of course,
like I said, other than that, man, not too much.
Oh i the other one i have to tell you offline because i

(05:33):
It's like she watched in the morning while she getting ready for school she

Or fnf it's fnf all that stuff all that stuff she's doing but it's dope that
she's into it like she on her own she got into it so i was like oh snap okay that's what's up man.
Let's dive into some stuff man dude i i know you haven't watched it but i do

(06:39):
want to talk about a little bit and kind of explain to you the the acolyte man
from go for it go for it Star Wars, man.
I've been seeing a lot of mixed people with it. I got to reserve my judgment
on it and just kind of let the series play out because I wonder if some people
are hating, and I'm going to be honest here, completely honest,
because it's mostly minorities and women all up throughout this whole series

(07:01):
so far. I just don't know if that's a thing with it.
And the way that they're portraying the Jedi, and we know this if you know your
backstories, the Jedi, or if you really think about it as a holistic thing,
they're basically space cops.
Essentially, yeah. They pose. Like, people have this, I guess, this...
The idea of them being super heroic throughout the whole idea.

(07:24):
But the idea that they only have control over anyone that has the power,
I mean, that has the force in them.
Like last episode, and it's not
spoiling anything, but they're basically trying to find out these kids.
They're basically trying to take these twins because they have power.
But it's like, hold on. Who are you to be able to say that you can take these kids?

(07:47):
Because they have force in them. Gotcha. And they're way more and like they
don't they don't have a lot of personality in the regular trilogy and the prequels that we saw.
Like they're kind of more so they're even worse. We stole it because they're,
you know, you know, no, no emotional attachments, no, no, no different things.
But to me and the thing that I like about this, it shows where the Jedi failed at the idea of them.

(08:12):
That's why Anakin was supposed to bring the force, the balance to it,
because it needed these other different.
You can't be separated from emotions separated from
families separated from all this thing just for this
one thing it doesn't work out well for you like that and that's
the thing i like showing this prequel for this series
with it i know a lot of people have and i it's a

(08:33):
little choppy with it trying to figure it kind of all out because
it's kind of some some questions you're in there with certain
things two characters in there you don't
know how they don't feel the force in each other to know that they
were both still alive you know i'm saying like you
know like think about when i know
we've known that that that people have been massing the force yes

(08:54):
because remember luke and leia were put away and darth
vader couldn't feel them because of their locations right
right right but remember when stuff happened can vader
or anyone be like oh i felt that in the
force you know i'm saying like they would you know i mean like vader was like
i feel something in the forest i'll be right back like look that's the only

(09:18):
thing with that when you get into it you're gonna be like i know exactly what
d's saying when it comes to this certain sector that's my only thing of like
how did that not you not kind of go like that.
And then they're really teasing either a dark darth plagueis or darth tiburannus
here a little bit of a little bit of them so it's this is only 50 years before

(09:39):
we jump off where we at so 50 years 50 years from the original trilogy or 50 years from after 789?
From the prequel. Okay, gotcha, gotcha. It's 50 to 100 years,
I believe, before the prequels. Let me make sure before.
But I think it's right there because it's in the High Republic area.
It might be longer than that, though. But Yoda's alive. He's still alive.

(09:59):
So we know that Yoda's still alive, but he's not in here.
Gotcha, gotcha. I'm totally, totally telling you that Yoda's not alive.
It is a hundred years before phantom menace yeah
that mean yoda be like oh like seven eight hundred years old
because she's like i'm not even joking what
i'm saying no no yeah jordan's gotta
be the grand master at this point right like he's already it's only a hundred

(10:23):
years it's only the human noise that are going to be the people that would be
you know perishing and falling off like right right right i mean so yoda's there
you would think like someone like yaddle which was the other,
I forgot Yoda's species,
but the counterpart, did you see the.
Prequel animations where they show what happened to her?

(10:45):
I don't think so, no. So, you know, you saw, remember Yaddle from the first
one, the girl of the Yoda species?
Yeah. It was in the first episode of Phantom Menace. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, okay, okay. Dude, so, I mean, this has been on for two,
three years now. So, basically, you find out that Count Dooku's the one that kills her. Mmm.
No, it's Count Dooku, I believe it kills. In between his transition from going,

(11:10):
it's in between episode one, episode two. That's why you don't see her.
It's when he fully goes dark side when he kills Yaddle.
So when he turns a dark tyrannous, that's when he got you. Yep.
He turns into Yaddle then. I mean, he kills Yaddle and he fully is turned then.
Because they're only 10 minute little animations on Disney Plus.
Oh, yeah. It basically shows Count Dooku's turn to the dark side.

(11:33):
So it's like showing him where because basically he
goes into a town at the first time and they
the jedi kind of like oh we ain't trying to save them for
real for real we can't do nothing and he gets upset and
starts getting dischanted when he was like a padawan or
a young jedi and it kind of progresses over time from there so you see dooku's

(11:54):
thing with that but like someone like yaddle will be alive in the acolyte i'm
trying to think who else i mean maybe a couple of the characters so you get
to see in acklod as well you get to see a wookiee uh jedi interesting,
yeah wookiee jedi in there i'm trying to remember his name i think it's if you
remember his name here real quick.

(12:19):
Uh i've never forgotten his name and i knew it right i knew his name uh kalaka Kel Naka.
This is a brand new character, so this is not in the canonical.
Even though this is now considered canonical, they're saying within the Star Wars universe.
But I'm interested in it. I'm really, really interested in that High Republic era of everything.

(12:43):
You see how the Sith in this is able to get their traction because the Jedi is so arrogant.
They're so like, remember how they were in the Phantom Menace?
What do you mean Sith is around get out of here Qui-Gon Jinn what are you talking about.
We haven't seen them in hundreds of years i'll

(13:04):
say i'll say i don't know fat meat greasy okay gotcha exactly exactly
and it's even worse now because they don't even really know i mean
they're really in the dark on it they really think that they
they just they just running around doing what they want to do at this point
but no it's interesting to acolyte man i'm really really really interested to
see how this develops throughout the way of it i'm it's a little i hope they

(13:25):
can make the landing you know i'm saying but i'm interested in how they break
this down more of this High Republic era.
Yeah, you got me interested in it, man. Like, no, I'll definitely check out
the Count Dooku shorts, like, for real. Yeah, you get the Count Dooku shorts.
And, I mean, that's the whole thing of how Yaddle perished was a long-term thing
of people trying to figure out, like, why is she in the first one,

(13:46):
and then we don't see her?
We know why now, because of Count Dooku in between one and two.
Gotcha, gotcha. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm definitely going to have to check
it out. You said you got to see, what did you say? Was it Godzilla minus one?
Yes. So I got a chance to watch that because that's on Netflix now.
So it's finally on Netflix.
So if you want to watch it, you can. For anyone who has Netflix, check it out.

(14:09):
I like all the Godzilla movies. I've been like a giant monster,
giant mobile fan since I was a kid. So Godzilla and all that stuff,
I've been liking that stuff. So I'm like, all right.
My favorite Godzilla movie in recent memory, I don't know if you've ever seen it.
I think I may have mentioned it once upon a time ago on here.
It's called Shin Godzilla or the English version is called Godzilla Resurgence
but basically it's about like Godzilla in modern day surroundings and how would.

(14:35):
Society, Japanese society and the government and the world government at large,
how they truly react to something like that in like a realistic way.
And if Godzilla wasn't like good or evil, like he was just a creature just running
on instinct, just running throughout the country, right? But this is different.
So Godzilla Minus One, it takes you kind of back to like it's an alternate retelling

(14:58):
of I guess you want to say like an alternate retelling of like the original
1954 1954 version of Godzilla, the very first Godzilla movie.
The old black and white joint. But like how it goes, though,
it's called Minus One for a reason.
The reason it's called Minus One is because it takes place right after Hiroshima and Nagasaki happened.
Oh, it's a prequel. It's kind of like a prequel.

(15:19):
I wouldn't even call it a prequel. It's kind of like an alternate retelling
because the way the original Godzilla came out, he landfall and made touch with
humanity in 1954, literally.
But this one is different. So this happens before 1954.
This happens around between 1945 and 1948 because it jumps a few years. Time jumps.

(15:41):
Right. So it's called minus one because I say it happens after both the time bomb dropped in Japan.
But it's called minus. So, you know, Japan is pretty much at zero because it's
like it's at ground zero. It's at zero.
Like Japan got pretty much rebuilt itself from like the ground up.
So it's at zero. It goes minus one because Godzilla comes around because it's like you already have.

(16:02):
Had one giant event that set y'all to zero, and then you got another giant event
that happened that sent y'all back even further. So, minus one.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, this Godzilla...
Godzilla's a... What's the best way I can put it? Godzilla's an a-hole about
it, man. He an a-hole. I'm going to say this.

(16:25):
So, when you first see him, and you see him early in the movie,
he's not big. He's kind of like a...
I guess you want to say kind of like pre-radiated Godzilla.
Pre-radiated Godzilla, he was maybe 10 or 20, maybe let's say 20 feet tall,
right? On this remote island in Japan, right?
And then that's around 1945.

(16:47):
But then it starts time jumping because now it's getting a chance to soak up
radiation from all the atomic bombs and other stuff that Americans dropped just over time.
And so over time you see him get bigger and bigger and bigger.
And then he gets to maybe like 50 meters
tall which i think is like 160 feet roughly so
so you see like 160 foot godzilla walking

(17:09):
around but like i said this godzilla he walking around he
don't care like he's just going like he makes landfall and he just messes stuff
up just because he cannot he's just walking around and just having to be stomping
and destroying stuff no he's going out of his way to like knock over buildings
like tear apart trains and and all this wild stuff but the wild part about it

(17:30):
is like Like, when he uses atomic breath, bam.
Like, you actually get to see, like, how powerful it is.
Like, outside of Shin Godzilla, this is probably, like, the craziest one.
Because when he's laying loose, like, you see, like, his spines.
Like, you know how, like, his spines usually, like, light up no matter what version it is?
But his kind of, like, stick out. Like, when he's charging up,

(17:50):
it, like, sticks out and retracts like a nuclear reactor.
Right? Oh, wow. So, when he's getting ready to bust off, it pops out.
Yeah, it goes from tail to head. like his spines go through
no from his tail to his head so it's like a stegosaurus but
a but a t-rex exactly exactly so
he so he tries all the way up and then when he shoots off like it's just
like a strong being but it goes off like a straight nuke like when he blows

(18:15):
it blows up like a nuke like it's not even just like no spray no it's a legit
like a whole nother hiroshima went off like it's like crazy like that and so
but yeah it's just talking about really about after man by this This kamikaze pilot,
you know, who encountered Godzilla before he got irradiated and,
like, mad PTSD because of that incident.
And now he's seen Godzilla come back around now and just like, oh, crap.

(18:39):
And so he happened to get with a bunch of civilians, a part of the military
to figure out, OK, how are we going to stop Godzilla?
Because at this point, with everything that happened in World War II,
ain't no one going to help us out because...
Reasons right right because knowing so
we pretty much by ourselves but we gotta pretty much stop this from happening so
that's the whole point of the movie but i'll say it is like guys it looks great

(19:00):
like it deserved the oscar it won like it won for
like best special effects if i'm not mistaken so but it it's worth it and then
like you know of course it's in japanese but it's in english too so but the
english dub is actually decent it's actually it's actually decent so If you
want to watch it with the English dub,

(19:20):
you could and get away with it and be fine with it because it's actually,
the emotion and tones behind it works.
Now, of course, because the translation is some stuff that's not...
Because of certain nuances of translation, it may not come off the same.
To me, still, the Japanese sub-version is still going to be the better one.
But if you want to watch it in English dub, you could and with no issues and still keep the same...

(19:45):
Still not lose lose focus or like lose yourself and it's like the same thing
so that's probably the last recent like move that's to me that's I said it's
really worth talking about but series wise,
now that's a different story now please tell me you've seen all the x-men 97,
no I have not oh I haven't watched it all I went back with my daughter we started

(20:08):
from the beginning so we're on the last season of the,
x-men 97 right now okay so you're on the last episode
no no no not no let the season
that actually came out in 97 like oh oh
you watch your dog oh gee one from back in the day so we started from
the beginning we started from the very beginning so from

(20:28):
the night before the 92 version and you worked your way up and now you don't
i see what she's saying i see yeah i'm getting we getting ready to go into the
new ones now oh bro okay so we can talk about it a little bit oh bro okay so
i ain't gonna i ain't gonna spoil too much for you yeah all i'm gonna say is
the mvps are the whole scenario and you're going to see what I mean.
Cyclops and Magneto. Those are the MVPs. And you're going to understand.

(20:51):
I heard they upgraded Cyclops to actually have him be the people's champ final. Oh, dude.
What's up, y'all? This is RVS. This is ROD, a.k.a. Rated R.
Are the We Coming For You cast. We talk about pro wrestling from a black dude's
perspective. Tell them what they can expect on this here podcast.
We're going to give you all the raw and dirty and everything black from AEW,

(21:15):
WWE, Impact Wrestling, and any other wrestling in between.
If you want your wrestling unfiltered, uncensored, and you want it raw,
you need to subscribe to the We Coming For You cast.
Right here on SOLC Network.
He's Marvel vs. Capcom with Cyclops. I'm like, what? I'm like, I was like, what?
And then I was like, okay. Basically, it made Sky worth being a good character this time.

(21:39):
Because we already know, if you read the comics, he's been that dude in the
comics for the longest time.
But they never really translated it like that in media and actual media like that, for real.
Yeah, because in the original, he was always whining, you know,
and always, you know. Right.
Right. So they gave him something where Storm.

(22:02):
She storm is probably the probably
the hardest okay they got actually
omega they got ourselves actually omega levels that
she's supposed to be yeah so three mvps i'm sorry so cyclops
storm magneto storm hard hard
hard and like they made like and
then magneto magneto was dropping either level now he was dropping like story

(22:26):
of adidine ether level bars bars that's comparable to meet the grams i was like
what whoa snap okay i'm talking about it was great though like dog magneto
you understand i mean you already know why man you feel the way he feel but
like the way the show play out you'd be like yeah he he got valid points all

(22:50):
across the board and i shouldn't agree with this man like i should be agreeing
with him like it's like one of those things like i see what you mean fam like.
I don't even condone violence on that level, but I do understand where you're coming from, man.
Like, I can't even frame. Like, when you see it play out, you'll see what I mean.
But, yeah, it's a lot that happens, man. Like, they put in, like,
different, like, storylines from, like, comics in there, like,

(23:12):
famous stuff, and kind of, like, merge them in there. It's real cool when they do that.
But, yeah, it's worth the watch, man.
It's, like, to me, it's probably the best superhero, one of the best superheroes I've seen in a long time.
I'm including that with the boys and Vince. oh wow yeah
it's it's like marvel did
it is it's like i wish

(23:35):
mcu and fox could do
this i kind of don't even want them to do a live action version of x-men because
this is so good it's like i don't even i don't even want y'all messing this
up because this is how you should do it like this is how you should do x-men
like 100 like this is exactly how you should explain Nick Poppins,

(23:56):
since you brought that up, rumor around the water cooler is Jordan Peele has been talking to the MCU,
I mean, about joining the MCU and Marvel, and people are rumoring,
saying, is it X-Men that he could potentially be coming into direct?
Well, I mean, he could pull it off, but you know what? I'll be kind of curious.
I mean, since they already introduced a few of the X-Men in the MCU already, like, it could work.

(24:21):
Namor is a mutant. Yeah, he's the first.
Yeah he's the first actual mutant ever published by
marvel yeah yeah and uh no then we've seen you know beast we've seen beast and
i think with the marvels and i think we've seen uh professor x and dr strange
more versus multiverse of madness so yeah so spoiler if you ain't seen it just
that it's it's not it's not it's not out shoot it's almost been a year now damn there ain't it,

(24:46):
yeah yeah definitely that's definitely yeah so it's so it's already there but now man man.
I'm interested to see how that works. If he does, if he does,
curious because I wonder if he...
We talking about six, seven months. Right. I'm just curious.
Let's just say he do do X-Men. Let's just say he does.

(25:07):
If he does, I wonder would he go with the OG5,
like, you know, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Ice Man, Angel Beast, or would he do giant-sized
X-Men like, you know, with, you know, Wolverine, brainstorm Colossus Nightcrawler
and Dazzler and everyone else. You know, will he do that?
That's so hard for a director to come in to decide which one,

(25:29):
how many you're going to use, what's your story.
Because I wonder if they're going to do it because it feels like the Fantastic
Four that they're doing is going to just drop them in.
It's not going to be like a, they're going to already have their powers, I think.
I think they're going, they're not going to do an origin. So I'm,
I wonder if they don't, they don't do the OG and they're going to do.
And drop us in with a little

(25:52):
jumbo size one but we don't get angel and then
we move angel into later on with an apocalypse kind of
saga of like why oh we see a picture angel on
the wall like oh this was the og5 what happened
to him and then we could find out later on the angel
became art angel and wild out that i
would like to see that i would like to see that that'd be dope that'd be dope or

(26:13):
even ice man say even if you want to do that and just say angel let's
say angel left for some reasons Iceman maybe you and
maybe you tease that kind of how Watchmen did
it a little bit where you saw the OG group but
you and you don't know what why everyone is where they were
and what they were doing but you find
out over time what happened to everybody you know individually or whatnot no

(26:36):
that'd be dope because that'd be dope to work in kind of like the giant size
X-Men with it because I believe if my if memory serves me right this is my organized
coming in if memory serves me correctly I believe there's a whole point in Giant Size X-Men,
especially the original one, which is, that's the team with Wolverine, Storm,
Colossus Dazzler, Nightcrawler That's the epic, that's the 90's.

(27:00):
Era, like Yeah, that's the Chris Claremont era, that's the one going to Chris Claremont,
That's always back from like the 70's to the 90's, so that's the start of that
run and that's, I think the whole task was finding the original five,
so that would work oh so okay
so on that jumbo one it was what cyclops jean
gray rogue wolverine nightcrawler that's the night that's when he started doing

(27:25):
the 90s run that's when the 90s run but in the 70s run the original giant size
that's me in the 70s that's wolverine storm colossus nightcrawler.
Dazzler so that's it's basically the whole team blue where
they had the gold and the blue team so it's basically the whole blue team when the
gold and blue team basically yeah it's because

(27:47):
the original five were gone somewhere so beast cyclops gene gray ice man angel
were missing basically exactly and so that so press has made a new team and
that's how wolverine became part of teams or storm colossus everyone else i
just named they wanted to i think first has made the that second scene to find the original five.
I think that was the whole point of that. If I'm not mistaken,

(28:10):
I think that's how it goes.
Okay. Hey, look, I know people, the way the comments go nowadays,
somebody will let us know. Right. That's why I said memory started me correcting. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We're just getting back into the groove, y'all. We're just getting back into
the groove. I would be interested.
I want Jordan Peele to do this Blade movie, and Blade has lost his second director.

(28:30):
That's more of his angle, but I I could also see Jordan Peele being like,
I need a challenge. All my stuff has been kind of in that lane.
Why not extend myself and challenge myself with another type of film?
It's just going back to the blade one, man. It's just, it's,
I don't know if this, I mean, okay, so Go ahead, go ahead. Go ahead and say

(28:54):
it, man, go ahead and say it.
Y'all missing up because.
One, if y'all gonna do Blade, it has to match the first two movies.
It has to be as good as the first two movies.
And that's a pretty high bar to set. The first one, great.
The second one, almost perfect. so it's like oh third one i don't talk about

(29:19):
third one third one always is to me but that's the rest of the time they didn't
want to be there and they was trying to basically write him out
yeah he had to do for like because he would need that tax money i think that's
the only reason he had to do it and then i watched the when marvel anime had
they all had to blame in the series that was good so i count those and i'm not
counting the sticky fingers one i'm not i'm not even gonna count that one i'm
not gonna tell me it wasn't that bad i never watched i tried man man.

(29:43):
Back in the day, I just couldn't get it. I tried, man. I mean,
no shade to him, man. I just couldn't do it, man.
I just couldn't. Was it sticky fingers or was it the plot? Or both? Yes.
Okay. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. But no, no, no. I was just saying,
like, if Joy Bill did do something like that, let's say he didn't do X-Men,

(30:08):
he did Blade, that would be dope.
That would be good to see. That would kind of still stick in his lane.
It could work for him. But it's just...
I wonder and i really i get all into why they lost their second director or
even if they gave that kind of information but i wonder i wonder like if it's
because disney marvel keeps pushing stuff back and this was just kind of like

(30:30):
getting like development hell at this point or.
Dude it's a script now worthy or like what's going on yeah that's i so wonder
like what is it that keeps flipping these directors on this movie.
This movie is supposed to came out this past summer.
Right, right. You know, and at this point, they've been age out Mahershala Ali.

(30:55):
Like, he not going to be able to do it at this point in a minute.
That's what I'm saying. You might as well get someone younger.
Like, get someone around, like,
you know, at least like a John Boyega or something, you know, around that.
Right, you might as well. You're going to transition him into something.
You know, I'm thinking, what if you transition him into, you know,
because they, well, supposedly they cast Giancarlo Bebzizito.

(31:19):
He's in the new Captain America movie.
Okay, so that's what he's doing. Okay. He's one of the villains in Captain America.
I wonder who he'll be then.
Yeah, they're keeping him under wraps. They said he signed a four or five-picture
deal, too, so it ain't just one.
I mean, everybody always wanted to be doomed.
I would love for Giancarlo Zuzbi to be doomed. Yeah, that would be dope.

(31:43):
Now, you know, I mean, one of our last shows, or one of the pre-show,
remember, it started at Kerfuffle, and make sure you go to our group, Marv vs.
DC, on Facebook. When I said, I think that Denzel Washington would be a dope.
I remember that. I remember that.
I remember that. Dude, it was people like, well, actually.

(32:06):
Yeah, now people were mad. That was like over a week. I'm like, hey girl, it's fiction.
It's fiction. It's fiction. It's Dr.
Doom. But really, if Giancarlo is in this Marvel versus, not Marvel versus Capcom,
Captain America, I think it's Brave New World or something like that.

(32:27):
Yeah, I think that's what it's called. Yeah.
I think, because I'm trying to figure out what we could, if you already got
Mahershala Ali signed on Do you move him to another character?
And since I got you for these X amount of movies, it's probably a time period
I only have you for for these movies. Do I move you to another character?

(32:47):
And bring somebody in younger since this situation with Blade is all messed up.
Well, I'll say this. If they do Blade as an origin story, if they do it as an
origin story, they can make him be Blade's father.
No, making Blade's father, I mean, do it like that.

(33:07):
Or make him a new version of Deacon Frost or something like that.
But as far as him being Blade, not that I wouldn't like to see him be Blade
because Blade is the man.
Man but it's just so fake like you just said it's
kind of like you're kind of aging out now fam it's just like i got it it just

(33:30):
hit me it got i got it you move him you move him to the x-men let him be bishop
now listen to what i'm doing with this you do a version of days of future past comics.
But you can show the og version and a
new version and have him going back to the og
version of people and then when he comes back after everything's

(33:52):
saved it's reset to where we are currently now
in the timeline interesting so
you have your og5 and maybe he's got some futuristic version
that he's rolling with goes back helps
out the og5 do something you get back
and it's a new set and then you have the your core set

(34:12):
of x-men you're going to have going through the future and now
they're in the current time of where we
are in the mcu i like that
i like you know what i'm saying but and i'm just saying if you don't you probably
hurt y'all leave signed in we gotta use you fast like
i mean not i mean facts i mean not for real
for real so no but that's that's an interesting
i like i did i actually like that idea i liked it

(34:35):
like and you you give it you get your og version you know i'm saying and maybe
you know you get your older or your newer set or you could bring in some newer
set of x-men that he's around and then or even have him you can have him in
2020 what it's supposed to be now 2028 in the mcu or something like that.
Let's say he's 2035 you know

(34:58):
mutants have fully come out you got a couple of mutants hanging out
with him so you have you can have it connected to that
storyline by saying that this extension level event thing is
happening because of this i'm gonna go back into time
or even keep them in that other world after we
learn in the marvels and then use that and then he has to find out he has to
go through another dimension and then you bring the ogs which you are in so

(35:20):
many different ways you can flip it to try to true move it around with the timeline
around to bring them into the the current and keep mahershala because you only
got him on contract probably for x amount of years as I'm thinking.
This is true. This is very true. Yeah. I mean, and like I said,
he could work his bitch because if Josh Brolin can beat Cable and then come and beat Thanos.

(35:43):
I mean, I'm just saying. Like, I mean, why couldn't he? I mean.
So man we're not going to be super super long on this one
since we're going to get all the rest of the crew back but i
did have what did you did you get a chance to see and we're going to have to
get jewels and as soon as he comes back on he has to stand up for his man james
gunn no uh no it's before you start no before you start no you didn't see the

(36:09):
first one no no i no i have i have it like I have it there.
You talking about Rebel Moon?
You talking about, see, part of me, because I was like, okay,
so is this supposed to be like Dune, but not Dune? And Star Wars.
So it's supposed to be Dune and Star Wars. Okay. So, what's the James Gunn?

(36:34):
That's Zach Snyder. No, that's Zach Snyder. That's not James Gunn.
I'm sorry, James Gunn. You're with the Mind School.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry that is not you Zack Snyder and a little bit of Firefly in it hmm,
aka Serenity for those that didn't watch the TV show Firefly Serenity if you've
seen the movie I did check it out part of me was like I don't know if I want

(36:57):
to I was just like I don't know if I want to do that.
Because it seemed like it was just
a lot going on kind of like how Jupiter ascended had a lot going on in it
but you know even you know what I'm saying but I did like Jupiter Ascending,
it's just a lot was going on there, we tried to merge and get to one so I feel
like Rebel Mode is in like that same,

(37:18):
category, like it's kind of like trying to do a lot at one time, I was like yeah, I get it,
But something like that, like, I don't think you're jamming one.
Okay. It's kind of like, for example, it's kind of like Lord of the Rings.
Like, that's one of my favorite thrillers is Lord of the Rings. Right.
So if you want to watch the whole story of Lord of the Rings,

(37:40):
like one, two, and three, and I'm talking about like the extended versions,
like that's legitimately no lie.
That's like half a day, 12 hours, legitimately 12 hours.
If he wants to play out the story that he wants to play out,
like, and you're not a and you're not peter jackson family just call it what
it is you're not peter jackson.
You would have to do something like that but i think rebel

(38:01):
moon on that level like if you're trying to crown that machine that could
have been like a series it could have pushed all popped up and
probably could have fleshed that out better over time but if
you're trying to jam everything in and tell
a cohesive story it's like yeah i
mean it's not like how batman versus superman like you had
30 minutes and then everything makes sense it's like no it's it's not

(38:24):
and he got extended cut scenario directors cut
how is it the director's cut when you were the everything
how is our director's cut this ain't the richard donna cut fam like this is
like you know i'm saying this like you can't like this like this ain't the richard
donna cut on superman 2 fam like that was fantastic this ain't that but you

(38:45):
are the studio like you were you had all the power there There was nobody over you.
Netflix was like, here go the money, bring us back something.
So the director's cushion, or ain't like the Hateful Eight where like,
it was like a whole, hey, there's a whole different version of the Hateful Eight
that's like four hours long, separating four one-hour segments.
It was like, it's not that. Like, dude, you could have miniseries that.

(39:08):
You know what? That's probably what he could have done. You could have miniseries
that, fam, and probably would have did just as good.
But if you're gonna I don't know man it just seemed like it was a lot going
on man it just seemed like it was a lot it was just like information overload man and out there again,
I like Zack Snyder because I love 300. I love the Watchmen. I love Man of Steel.

(39:32):
I like Batman vs Superman. And I did like his version of Justice League. I rock with it.
But at the same time, there is such a thing as doing too much and not enough at the same time.
And that's kind of where I see that at. You know what I'm saying?
So it's just like, I mean, I had to watch the Insections.

(39:56):
You know what i'm saying like i hate to say that but you know i
had to watch that at six and this is i can binge watch shows that
like like i'm like i'm re-watching a
show right now my white bloodline from like from like almost 10
years ago that's on netflix so i'm so and
that's our episodes i can watch that with no problem but something like this
like uh if it's information of a low fam it's kind of like it could be too much

(40:19):
it's like i gotta i mean of course concentrate straight because i watched guys
of the minds one that was like a two and a half hour long movie but it it drew
me into where you want to see this for two and a half hours you know what i'm saying,
this is like the problem is that zack snyder writes it he could direct it he can't write it,
i agree i agree i think that's what it is i think that's what it is vision like

(40:43):
like directing bay i don't have no problem with his directing bay it's just
and i know people i already know Don't be somebody in the comments who's going
to go, but what about 300?
He wrote that with three people. It was three people that wrote 300 together.
It wasn't just him. 300 already had source material to work from.
So it's kind of like, you know what I'm saying?
Every other movie that he wrote sucks.
Like, watch me. Had source material to work from.

(41:06):
Man of Steel technically had source material to work from, and that was Christopher
Nolan and Jonathan Nolan writing it. He didn't write that either.
He didn't write Man of Steel. He didn't write Man of Steel. So it's like,
He didn't write that. He wrote Justice League, obviously. He writes Suckabunch. Yep.
Explains. Okay. He wrote Army of Thieves, wrote Rebel Moon, obviously, both Rebel Moons.

(41:31):
Wrote Justice League, wrote Army of the Dead.
Yeah, like all the movies that people don't like, you know.
Directing back, that's what he is. Oh, directing back is stellar.
His writing though i ain't doing it man you gotta get nah i think you need the right way,
so no shade to him because like you said brilliant director stick with that

(41:56):
i think yeah exactly stay in the lane that works that you're great in this is
the lane you're great in stay in this lane,
yeah i just need him to just stay where he needs to be jules you're gonna have
to make you got you You got some explaining to do. We ain't going to. Yeah.
Like the first movie was so bad as we wrap up, man. First movie was so bad.

(42:17):
I fell asleep on it seven times. It's seven times.
Seven times. And now, now, now, now keep in mind, I fell asleep on the first
Dune a lot. That's because just because it was just hard to get into the folklore.
Dune ended up at the end of Dune is crazy. And Dune two is even better.
So it was just, and I kept on trying to watch Dune late at night.

(42:37):
I watched Rebel Moon at 2 in the afternoon.
Had was fine had a great sleep
the night before put me to sleep i had
great rest i knew like all right is every time i
was you know it's kind of late i'm sitting on the couch i'm fully i mean i'm

(42:58):
available i didn't eat i'm eating i'm you know just chilling it's two o'clock
avenue there's a bright light coming in through my window my body said don't
do it kid we're gonna take you out.
The sets were so bad on there it felt like it was do you remember alien nation,

(43:20):
the movie or the tv series oh either either oh yeah i remember but that looked
amazing in the 90s you know i'm saying like that looked amazing in the early
to mid 90s that's how some of these sets look to me dude come on look here hold
on let me you think i'm playing no no no i watch I spotted, but that's what
I'm saying. I did. But that's what I'm saying.

(43:40):
The comparison that you gave, that's why I'm laughing.
Dude. No, no, no, no. I see you thinking. And he didn't have a bad budget.
The sets looked like a set. That's what I'm like. You would think.
And they look like sets from the 90s.

(44:04):
And I don't know if that's what he's trying to do. He might come out and be
like, I want it to look like that.
I mean you're not wrong but at the same time it's just like I don't even want
you to be right but you right on it.
It's like I don't want you to be right but I know in my heart you are right
because it's like yeah you right on this one man,

(44:25):
he right $166 million for two movies and really it was supposed to be one and
he just stretched it out $166 million budget and it looked like Alien Nation,
fmi seen people do work miracles with a tenth of that like for real so that's
what i'm saying going back to jordan peele with note did you see note.

(44:49):
That looked amazing and that budget wasn't
that much that's one of them 822 820 films yeah
yeah you're right you're right yep
and then silver war that's what i think silver war
i haven't seen it yet but it looks amazing and i think that's
their most that's 822's most expensive movie i
believe ever and i'm gonna see that but hold on

(45:10):
let me it's probably it's probably i'm bitching not even 50 million it's
i'll bet you ain't 50 million well i could be wrong 100 it's over 100 it's 50
sorry 50 they made it see i was right see i was right that's what i said i bet
it's not even over and that's it's 824 it's most expensive uh film and fam work
do like i said i've I've seen people work wonders and miracles with.

(45:32):
And even let's get some credit. Let's say it was 80 million per film.
It's still more than what Civil War was for one movie. Because you got 160 million for both movies.
That's 80 million movie. And it looks like Alienation.
I hate that you write on this, man.
I hate that you write. Because you not like. Because I just got into the writing.

(45:56):
I even want to get into all the other pieces. But now that you're saying it,
I'm going to have to re-watch it again and just pay more attention.
Because it's like, if you had to compare Rebel Moon to the new version of Dune,
I'm watching Dune all day.
Because even though Dune is extensive, Dune is extensive, but Dune captivated me.

(46:18):
Yes. This is like, oh, man.
It was kind of like it's it's a drag man i i i
don't want a movie to feel like it's a drag even long moves like
i said again i watched all the lord of rings
but i watched all of them in a day's time just on gp one
day just because i liked the trilogy i was captivated the whole time i did the

(46:38):
same thing with the hobby we watched the whole thing captivated with no problem
and these are long form movies and i was able to watch it with zero problem
keep my attention with no problem I'm used to bathroom breaks,
but after that bathroom break, so it was snack break, but after that I was still cool.
Like, I could watch it with no problem. I didn't fall asleep.

(46:59):
I didn't get sleep. None of that.
Rebel Monday. And I blame his fans. I blame all the Zack Snyder fanboys too.
Because they made him this, they emboldened him.
They emboldened this man. And you're not wrong. You're not wrong.
You're not. It's just like it's like Again, acting, directing bag,

(47:24):
cinematography bag, you the man in it. He's the man.
Outside of that, though, stay in your lane.
And there's nothing wrong with that.
Dude, if that's what you excel at, fam, excel, fly as high as you can doing that.

(47:47):
But don't get me wrong. I'm not saying someone can't be creative and write their
own stuff and direct their own stuff at the same time.
I'm not saying that at all because there's plenty of directors who have done
that and zero issue with that and done great work doing it. There's nothing wrong with it.
But in this regard, directing and cinematography, stay in that lane.

(48:10):
Stay there, fam. But that's all I got to say on it personally. Yeah, it's a –.
Zack Snyder, man, let's get this stuff together, brother. For real.
Man, we're going to be back, though, y'all. We getting back into the groove
of things, man. It's going to be more content here on the Lando Cal experience.
Where can people hit you up at, James?

(48:32):

So, but no, catch on. No, I still got some content on there.

so I could probably maybe start doing some streaming.
So catch me there. Catch me at doing my gaming podcast, my partners, my HMD boys.

(49:14):
We do The Casual Fighter on Twitch. So catch us on there.
Other than that, man, catch me back, you know, getting back with Lando Cal because
I'm going to have a lot of time to do this. So yeah, I'm back in the fold, brother.
All right. Well, thank you all for listening as always.
We'll be back. Peace. Peace.
