gen V right now not realizing, oh, hey, I have
a whole free thing I can do to help the
podcast and be one of the one of the people.
There you go, find the butt the butterles lost.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
It's completely free.

It's an easy thing, and you only have to do

right now. Really, you just click the other option right

Speaker 4 (02:51):
Click the box link to things and there you go.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
There you go limits exactly what Kevin said. But we
start the podcast properly trying to kind of like a
little home room, little check in with everybody, see what
we're doing. We like to call watch you doing. It's
the shows and game shows and shows. We've been watching games,
we've been playing lives, we've been living it. Because I
changed up the cadence. That's when I messed it up.

(03:14):
That's okay, robot Mode said no, because it is Thursday. Yep,
boy gets to go first. Obviously, we're gonna talk about
tront Aris in a little bit, probably like twenty minutes
ish from now. But it was a fun week so far.
Yesterday you got to go to the Caps home opener.
They lost, unfortunately, but that was pretty fun. That was

(03:36):
the first time I've ever been to a season opener
for anything, or actually no, I did go to opening
day for the NACIS Yere for hockey. At least we'll
say that it was pretty cool. It was a long,
little like preamble thing.

Speaker 3 (03:48):
Which that was really the only thing that really did extra.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
That's the only thing I've been to a Ravens and
a Oritles home opener, and it's very poping circumstance.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
Yes, and like, hey, we're introing everybody on the team.
I'm like, who's that. I will know them later, but
I don't know them right now. Okay.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
For the Orioles, they did what they call the orange
carpet from center field, long carpet from the center field
to the infield and it runs down wave fireworks.

Speaker 4 (04:11):
It's the whole thing open.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
And it was funny because on the way there and
the way back, both more and I got stopped by
people asking about Capitals games because you know, you got
where your jersey got to rock the red when you
go see the Capitals. Uh, this is a fun time.
It's like, hey, you know, we've been doing this for
a while, going to Capitol's games. Who kind of know
a little bit, just a little bit.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
It's it's funny to me because when you said you
were going to the Capitols game, I was like, holy crap,
this hockey season already.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
I think NBA starts soon too, or it has started.
I think either it has or it's like Wednesday. Yeah,
it's like really really close. Yeah, but yes, it was
a good time. I will say where we live now
it comes in real clutch because we found this out
probably at the end of August, so it kind of
didn't help with the Natsuh. But we can park for

(04:59):
free somewhere. I'm not going to give out the heck
you gotta DM me if you want the Hack and
Andrew hoodie because after Ford it's free parking in this
parking area and it's right by the metro. So then
we take that and it's like five metro stops into
Gallery Place, which is real nice yeah, free parking DC
is Clutchnic is not DC, but it's closer than some
of the DC stops that are in d C. So

(05:21):
it is what it is.

Speaker 4 (05:24):
Went to New York recently, she was like, I forgot
how expensive parking is.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
It is expensive. But on top of that, I've been
playing more Go of Sushima. I've been liking it a lot.
I think it's just fun, Like, all right, what adventure
am I going to go on? I know you've talked
about a lot, but it's fun, just you know, to
see me experience it and you'd be like, oh, yeah,
hood he got to that part. Hood he got to
that part. It was interesting because a lot of it
is like if you've played Assassin's Creed, it's very coded

(05:51):
to that to a degree, but better you know, Assassin's
Cream with more steps. Yes, Assassin's Cream with more buttons
pretty much. And that's okay because I got the Holy
Strike or something and that's been fun. That's true. You
did Are you good with the how you doing it with? You? Like?

Speaker 4 (06:08):
The showdowns?

Speaker 3 (06:09):
Not good?

Speaker 1 (06:10):
Let me go, I do good with the first showdown
or standoff, and then whatever the second and third person.
I'm like, I don't know what I have to do
to get these people dead. I just learned chain assassinations,
Like all right, we're doing something here, you know.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
No, showdowns were so much fun, especially when when you
just minding a business like I get them.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
You're like, all right, yeah, IM do it. But it's
been really fun. I'm trying to think what I really
do appreciate that the game like each mission or side
mission kind of frames of like, oh, this would be
if you were to watch old like Samurai movies or westerns.
It is. Here's the episode of the week. It's the
Royal Standoff, and here's the here's the episode title.

Speaker 3 (06:51):
You know, I thought.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
About maybe trying to play that game in black and
white one day and get like the fully immersive.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
I might just do it for a day and just
like now I know what this when I do like
a big story mission or something, you know.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
Because I've seen a lot of like online like film
with ficianos who love those old sim from sixteen seventies.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
They don't play video games. They love this game for
the exact name. I cannot take good photos. I will
say that though in this cause was everyone's like, this
is the game that kind of like really this and uh,
Spider Man are the ones that pushed photo modes and
modern games now because ps Four, ps Five, I'm like,
I can take a nice little like I'm just standing
there and here's some wind. But that's it.

Speaker 4 (07:33):
Good photo I took?

Speaker 2 (07:35):
It was it wasn't really fair because it was the
scene after in got about ragnar Rock when transfers to
the bear and they both fight the the breeze is
there scene?

Speaker 4 (07:45):
What they kind of they kind of pose one I've ever.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
Well, that's a screen that's you screenshotting the game I'm
talking about. I'm going into that I can do because
they're telling me, hey, take a picture of this, whereas
this game is like all right, what do you want
to do? All right, I want to change something. And
I was like, I don't know what I did at all,
and I got a trophy for it. I was like, okay,
sure I did that one.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
And I did want in spite of the Miles Morales
in front of Yeah, because we got a trophy if
you took a picture as Miles Rales in front of
the Yewakanda Embassy, the probably the best you've ever done,
don't uh.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
And then two more things. I am pretty much caught
up up until the last volume of Saga, which is
the graphic novel your boy discovered on the train in
New York early this week. And I caught up that fast.
That tells you how good I was enthralled by it.
It sucks because I have Libby, which is the like
digital book app, like you can rent digital books or

(08:37):
comics from your library, and I'm on a waiting list.

Speaker 3 (08:41):
I'm like, damn, this sucks.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
I didn't think I'd get to this point where I'd
be waiting for people to finish this for this graphic
novel in the Arlington Library.

Speaker 4 (08:50):
I'm annoying. Look it it's digital. Why I have to wait?

Speaker 1 (08:53):
But I think it's more of a licensing, Like they
have one license.

Speaker 3 (08:57):
I got what it is.

Speaker 4 (08:58):
License can think about.

Speaker 1 (08:59):
Yeah, so we'll figure that. I might be going to
get an actual physical library card at the library tomorrow,
so that'll be wild because I haven't done that in
like twenty years.

Speaker 3 (09:09):
Probably I have one.

Speaker 4 (09:11):
I can tell you where it is.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
Yeah, but I do appreciate the Libby apps free if
you got the library card, so like that's real nice
because instead of you having to buy Kindle books or anything.
I could just read on that app which is great.

Speaker 4 (09:23):
If you have kids, library is great. Prices actually, lot
of stuff for them to do.

Speaker 1 (09:26):
You kind of can just like Jost, be quiet and
enjoy yourself. And then because we haven't mentioned in a
little bit and it is our favorite time of the
year of Halloween, hugb be Halloween has been watched in
this yere household, shouted out Kevin Moore hated it. I
enjoyed it more the second time. I guess the Halloween.

(09:47):
She's like, this is so dumb. I was like, you
know what, you need some dumb Halloween movies.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
You know, It's okay, I can't wait for twenty years
we get He'll be Halloween too.

Speaker 4 (09:55):
As a geroactrical man, that's gonna be great.

Speaker 1 (09:57):
Did we got a second Murder Mystery movie? Right? We did?

Speaker 4 (10:01):
Yeah, we did. It was like two or three years
after the first one.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
Yeah, yeah, He'll be Halloween too. Adam Sandler, believe Yeah,
it is very like that is a Netflix Adam Sandler
movie compared to Happy Gilmore Too, which that is an
Adam Sandler movie.

Speaker 3 (10:19):
You know, So that's the difference there.

Speaker 1 (10:21):
It is what it then got Uncut Gems, which is
an artistic Adams Sandler movie.

Speaker 4 (10:24):
God, yeah, it's stressful. I hate that movie.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
I see it comes on TikTok, Like, do I want
to try it again?

Speaker 4 (10:30):
No?

Speaker 1 (10:30):
I don't. I don't want to try it again.

Speaker 4 (10:32):
I never swept doing a movie to watch.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
Yeah, but yeah it was good. Obviously it's just can't
be Halloween, which is good. And obviously it's Kevin's favorite
Halloween movie. So we had to pay our respects to Kevin.
And now Kevin, you have the floor.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
So this week has been a little bit of a
slow week at work. It's been kind of one of
those weeks where like it's more email based for me
than actual work, and it's just more administrative. I hate
those weeks because I how do I say this? I
do it quicker than most people. Then I'm sitting there like, shoot,
I should have shown it out a little long longer
so and I have.

Speaker 4 (11:07):
More stuff to do.

Speaker 2 (11:08):
So I've been looking for a lot of work to
do and I found it, thankfully. He's been a lot
of a lot of things have happened, but a week
work has been pretty easy. At home, I did start
playing Spider Man again, not not restarting it. But going
back to our conversation just we just had about taking pictures,
I begin to a rash of those transition picture videos

(11:30):
on TikTok. Told me to uh, to Tom holland to
Andrew swinging.

Speaker 4 (11:36):
I want to try to do that. It's hard.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
It's hard.

Speaker 3 (11:39):
I need some video edit it can handle this.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
Yeah, I thought I could do it like like kind
of have like a little white thing, but no you can't.
I mean there's ai ai, but it's app one a
place that can do it for you.

Speaker 4 (11:50):
Do it great though.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
So I've now just been swinging around and having fun
because it's just a great game. Swing around on ti Man.
We never got DLC or that I guess it's confirmed
but rumored multiplayer mode.

Speaker 1 (12:02):
Hey, okay, we're getting Wolverine next year, so we can
we can be abide by that that we're finally getting
woverin at least.

Speaker 4 (12:09):
So that that was cool. I Uh.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
As far as Halloween movies go, we did watch Hunted Mansion,
not everyone, but the newer one recently.

Speaker 4 (12:17):
That's a really good movie.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
I don't I know, I know it's not going to
be like a five hundred million dollars movie.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
But by solid Halloween, and I think, yeah, I think
that's the thing with that movie is sure, and I
think it came out in like August or whatever when
it came out, is that movie is return on dividends
because that'll people be watching that every year on Disney Plus.
And it's easy to like promote it on Disney Plus and.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
Plus it if you're a parksner like we are. Like
the scene where actually the doom BUCkies taking people out
of the house, it's like, wow, thank you, so.

Speaker 3 (12:46):
I love it, thank you.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
And then even like the part where they go to
the older mansion, and the older mansion is more based
on the one in Disney World, because when they're in
more based on one in Disneyland, it's like, it's just prime.

Speaker 3 (12:58):
I love it, thank you, thank you? Did I appreciate it?

Speaker 4 (13:01):
I love it?

Speaker 2 (13:01):
So we watched that. I am I got some I
got some good news. I found out some information. Uh recently,
one of my favorite movies coming back to the theater
on October nineteenth, and I think I'm going bot tickets
to go see it. I don't think you've ever seen
this hood Hoodie, and we may have to review it Monday.
Just for my sake, maybe do for my birthday, I
don't know, or even my Christmas present. But it's a

(13:23):
fortieth anniversary re released in theaters of the Last Dragon.

Speaker 1 (13:28):
Dragon. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (13:30):
It is an eighties black kung fu movie that is
really more of an hour and a half music video
than it is actually. It was produced by Barry Gordy,
who was the record producer. One of Prince's old girlfriends
in it as Vanity Yep, and then TIMEX is like

(13:51):
the Bruce Lee type character in it.

Speaker 1 (13:52):
Sure, it is a dumb.

Speaker 2 (13:55):
Funs As a matter of fact, I don't know if
you remember Angela's father from Woman's World.

Speaker 1 (14:02):
I think Kevin. I'm gonna tell y'all, I don't. I
do not know who Angela's father was.

Speaker 2 (14:07):
I can't remember the guy's name because he's been in
a lot of stuff.

Speaker 1 (14:14):
Keep going, I'll look it up.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
Julius Julius Carrey like he has a he has a
face where you've seen him in some kind of TV
show at some point as like a I guess character.
He plays the villain in the show Enough Show Enough
is basically this is a big bully who has a
gang in in this. I think they're in Brooklyn, and
I think they're in Brooklyn. They were in Brooklyn on
the Brons. I can't remember one in the movie it's

(14:35):
and it's it's like I said, it's a kung Fu
based movie when those movies were like really popular back
in the day with Bruce Lee and all that kind
of stuff. It's just dumb fun I love it. The
soundtrack is amazing. So I'm hoping that my wife will
join me. She's not too a excited about it as
I am, but I'm hoping she'll joined me and see.
I have never seen it in theater before. I've only
seen it on tape and on cable as a kid.

Speaker 1 (14:57):
Maybe she'll treat you. She'll say, you can get all
the popcorns you want exactly.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
And I'm I really just want to hear that soundtrack
plumping in a movie there because in the movie here
sound I really want to hear that. But yeah, if
you haven't seen it last dragon, I think it's on
TV right now.

Speaker 1 (15:12):
Yeah, but let that tell you it's on to b
so go in with expectations.

Speaker 2 (15:18):
It was on It was on Netflix for the longest time.
I didn't realize to took it off of there. Recently.
But yeah, the Last Dragon is really really fun movie.
But so looking forward to go see that two weeks.

Speaker 3 (15:29):
All right, well, let's get on into it.

Speaker 1 (15:31):
Then, while Kevin's prepping and looking for tickets and hopefully
getting prime seating for that, telling like, hey, I want
these seats by these seats for me.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
The best part about it. The opening scene in the
movie is they're in the movie. They're in the movie
watching the movie. People are being too loud and the
fight start. So I want to see that in the Kevin,
don't spoiler for me. Now, come on, now, let's get
on into it.

Speaker 1 (15:52):
It is time for the news, and first things first, realist,
we have to talk about gen V episode six of
season two, So let's break it down. So this one

(16:14):
was called Cooking Lessons.

Speaker 3 (16:15):
And here's the thing.

Speaker 1 (16:16):
I don't pay attention to any of any of the
titles for gen V because I don't really see them.
Prime Video does a horrible job giving you the titles
of episodes like some other streaming services do.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
And they kind of like working morning. They're real cute
to episode descriptions where it doesn't tell you what it's about.
This is just about like, what's happening around the school, Like,
I get it, I get it.

Speaker 4 (16:35):
Come on, tell me what episodes about?

Speaker 1 (16:36):
Yes, please, but we fun fact, we do have two
episodes ago well and October twenty second, So Lily like, next,
you're in two weeks really, yeah, two weeks technically. But
I thought so far season two has been really good.
I think this one was the episode that really said, hey,
we're gonna actually include this, like felt like we're including
this probably in the Boys final season. Kevin, what did

(16:58):
you think?

Speaker 4 (17:00):
I thought the same thing.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
Like when they were talking about what Thomas Candaukin was
to both the university and he was to making the.

Speaker 4 (17:08):
What's it called not V something v uh? Well, the
chemical that makes them superheroes, yeah v V Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (17:16):
It made it sound like, oh, this is going to
be an ending game. You guys are getting the whole
band together to make sure that you can take that
homeland because he.

Speaker 4 (17:22):
Scares you that much. And also kind.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
Of seeing the return it's a flirtation between Cricket and
Golden Boy's brother.

Speaker 4 (17:34):
Again, I was like, oh, I like, I don't have
mess this from last season because they.

Speaker 2 (17:36):
Were kind of cute, So I like saying that, and
it Also, I just love the main character Marine is.

Speaker 4 (17:43):
I'm ay Marie made Robin Huey for me.

Speaker 2 (17:45):
Now, I don't know because I really I really not Huey.
I mean it's a milkman, milk mother's milk milk man.

Speaker 4 (17:52):
You know.

Speaker 2 (17:53):
Milkman was my favorite character in the in the Boys, uh,
in the Boys universe, because he's kind of like us
and the like tough this, I got the family.

Speaker 4 (18:01):
I just want to take care of the family.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
Yeah, but she is just so good in this season,
Like I'm really really enjoying her performance. So yeah, I
thought this is with another strong episode in this series.
I feel like nobody's talking about it enough this year.

Speaker 1 (18:13):
Yeah. I think it's really Peacemakers taking the notoriety in
the in the attention at least for this season of
gen V even enough that what what show? What something
referenced Peacemaker? Oh yeah. At the Caps game they played
the Peacemaker theme, So I was like, what that way
we're playing We're playing the foxy Suzam right now? Like

(18:38):
all right, I was a Caps finger on the pulse
right here doing it baby. But yeah, I think this show,
it does it deserve its attention. It is interesting. This
is probably more of a we gotta wait till the
Boys is over of just like if you were to
read the graphic novel, how it would compare, because obviously
don't I don't think gen V was an aspect. It

(19:00):
wasn't really an aspect so much like the stories for
the Tales of the Boys. So that is an interesting
thing of with your source material. Obviously it's source material
for a reason, and we're gonna talk about something else too.
That is like kind of deviating from source material to
degree with the Nine of the Seven Kingdoms. But it's
interesting to see, all right, we're at the point now

(19:21):
where a lot of times it was, oh, this is
Cnnon in the books, or this is Cannon in the
comic books, so it has to be this is what happens.
But I think we're in the era now of no,
that's just where we started at, and they're coloring the
lines where they want to go.

Speaker 2 (19:34):
If anything, maybe I've never read the the graph novel
of the Boys. I don't know if there's like a
like a throw away a couple of lines about what
Tomas Godautin was and what they how they got to
the super Suder program maybe they used that as the
basis of it and expanding on it a lot, But
I think if anything, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (19:57):
You think it would be less heisan the gend.

Speaker 1 (20:00):
I would think so because just because I feel like
this show ties in so much with the Boys that
it would be like, all right, the Boys is over,
but gen v is still. I it just really depends
what happens with the Boys more than anything, because.

Speaker 2 (20:13):
If anything, just this one spinoff gives me more more
hope of what the next spinoffs could be. And there's
the one A Soldier Boy and the one I think
based in like Mexico.

Speaker 1 (20:20):
Something which I doubn't that one's still happening because I
feel like that's that's that's gonna that The Boys Mexico
spin off has gone along the lines of the Ryan
Johnson and Taikow with Ted Star Wars movies, like yeah,
we announced those, but where's ever gonna acknowledge him again?

Speaker 4 (20:35):
You know, God, Ryan Johnson, Tuley. That's that's the thing, right, because.

Speaker 1 (20:39):
I think The Boys Mexico was announced the same time
this was announced, so.

Speaker 2 (20:44):
Right, and I remember thinking about then, I don't want
to see you know, not not not my characters in
college setting.

Speaker 4 (20:50):
Then you watch it like, oh, and I get it this.

Speaker 2 (20:51):
This is actually kind of showing how bad this world
is from each other. So I said, it gives me
more hope. Hope because Soldier Boys is a cool character.
I can't see how they show him.

Speaker 1 (21:04):
I just wanted him to do this soldier boy dance. Uh,
it's been up. But here's what happened. In the actual episode.
Marie in the group actually do escape from Elmira because
we find out Annabeth aka Marie's sister, she has like
tracking sort of precognitive powers consensed when things are about
to happen or where someone is showing up. Uh. We

(21:26):
find out really still learning about that. Really that Yeah,
this whole time, her sister has had powers and has
been keeping it secret the entire time. And it's like, well,
the basis of their whole relationship was only one of
them had powers. Now that was a sham and they
could have actually had an actual relationship.

Speaker 2 (21:42):
I kind of liked that twist too. That and it
wasn't like that she had to sing powers. It was
like she had like their precock powers and.

Speaker 4 (21:49):
She couldn't control them. What I thought was really cool.

Speaker 1 (21:51):
This happened.

Speaker 2 (21:51):
It kind of happens serradically, and then also the that's
a performance of the actress as playing her sister and
how like, give me an episode. I'm getting you out
of here, and she's like, I don't know who you are,
but I'll get you out of here with you. Bafter
that I got to thinking about I don't know what's
going on. I kind of joined that as well.

Speaker 1 (22:08):
But we find out Sam does actually physically rescue them
from Elmira. They do take shelter in a library where
we find out Emma does contact Harper, you know, the
girl with the tail and the chameleon for like thirty
seconds who she asked her to contact Polarity. But while
Polarity does get the phone call, kind of summing up

(22:30):
the episode from Harper, Cipher is actually in his house.

Speaker 3 (22:34):
He does do his meat puppet.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
Power out on puppet power sure to get Cipher to
find out where everyone is hiding out, but in doing so,
he is about to He's been punishing Polarity the whole time.
Polarity kind of resists them to a degree and is
able to push him back, which is cool physically, which
is dope with his powers.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
It kind of shows showed me two things there showed
how strong the polarity, the polarity power that him and
his son had, how strong it is.

Speaker 4 (23:05):
I was kind of tells you that he may not
make it through the end of this series.

Speaker 3 (23:08):
Yeah, I think he might be the sacrifice.

Speaker 1 (23:09):
If you're going to sacrifice somebody, better not be some
other people, some of them like they gotta live their hero,
please the moral center of the show.

Speaker 4 (23:20):
And polarity is more than like Megneedle, right, That's what
I was going.

Speaker 1 (23:25):
Yeah, it's a whole thing that's like, sure, it's some
type of power that metal things can be pushed around,
you know. But while this is going on, we do
find out Seipherdess and Vicorps, the thor knockoff in the
Boys universe. After Marie and the kids at the library,
he does kind of have his way with all of them.

(23:47):
They still haven't really figured out how to tackle him
at all, really, and just when things are about to
hit the fan, Vicorps gets killed by a little girl
who is Zoey Newman growing Up. Yep, it's Newman's kid
from last season. Has the past two seasons of the
Boys with the Tentacle. Little predator tentacles coming out of
her mouth and she pretty much dissects his head.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
I still think killing all Victoriaman was kind of a.

Speaker 1 (24:13):
Yeah, and it sucks because I really like that actress.
I was like, she's really good.

Speaker 2 (24:18):
I liked how she was, she was what she was
on her side. She wasn't no one like the boy's
side or or she wasn't on side. She was on
my side. I'm going to figure this out.

Speaker 1 (24:27):
Plus it was cool because she was She's actually jack
Quade's partner in real life, so it was like, oh, man,
that'd have been cool. That's fine.

Speaker 2 (24:32):
Yeah, And I heard it was a kind of a
rumor about how she wasn't too keen on the Starlight.

Speaker 1 (24:37):
Being But rumor has it says Kevin something he learns.
It turns out Zoe is teaming up with Stan Edgar. Yep,
John Carlo Esposito is back.

Speaker 3 (24:47):
Baby.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
Can't go a season of TV with how John Carlo
being on something. You know, I don't think we've seen
him anything major since Captain America Correct, which was also
this year, so that was February.

Speaker 4 (25:02):
That was top of the year.

Speaker 1 (25:02):
Right now, I cannot wait for our shows, movies and
games at the end of the year, we're like, oh, yeah,
that thing did come out this year.

Speaker 4 (25:09):
About that.

Speaker 1 (25:10):
Now, I haven't played any new games this year. Really,
it's all been old games this year. Hey, that's okay.
That's why it's our our list, not what the list
should be, but it's our list. The kids do decide
to go with Edgar and Zoe. They have a bunker
where it's kind of like off the books. We do
find out Stan explains the Marie that she and Homeland

(25:32):
are Project Odessa's only Successes, which is a project he
shut down. Sam at the same time tries to reconnect
with them, like keV said, and my back's out the
last second, And we find out that Cipher's work is
actually very similar to Thomas Goadulkin's and it's where the
kids deduced that Cipher's quote unquote father or old man

(25:53):
Burton man, he's been taken care of. Yeah, that's Thomas Godulkin.
And there might be some sort of like maybe Goodulkin
and he's using Cipher for powers or maybe ciphers using
Goodulkin's brain. We're figured that out probably next week, which
essentially Cipher wants to establish sup supremacy, and eventually he
does reveal actually the polarity that he's willing to sacrifice

(26:14):
seventy five percent of the student population to make superheroes
even stronger because he's tired of the was wasteful superheroes essentially.

Speaker 2 (26:24):
Coming about that, but I'll tell you that off the
podcast because I don't want to get to a thing here.
But also I thought I was kind of hoping that
that guy in the thing was going to.

Speaker 4 (26:32):
Be Golden Boy.

Speaker 1 (26:35):
I don't know why I thought it makes sense. I
knew it was Thomas Goodulcanins the entire time, So like
they got Ethan Slater for five seconds seed, now they
got that boy for like at least two episodes.

Speaker 4 (26:45):
You're right, You're totally right.

Speaker 2 (26:46):
I think I just really liked I can't remember his
first thing, but Sworschniggers.

Speaker 1 (26:49):
Sun Base correct, yep.

Speaker 2 (26:52):
I really liked him last season, and I was like
seven kind of killed him off in that way they did.
I was like, maybe because he was burned. I'm like,
his power was fired.

Speaker 1 (26:59):
Maybe there could be anybody under that body. Eventually we
find out Stan Edgar does want to use Thomas Godolka
and Marie to take down Homelander and take back vaut
vat there you go. Uh, but eventually uh everyone goes asleep.
Marie does leave. Kate asked Marie to use her blood
bending is what we're gonna call it, really, uh, to

(27:20):
heal her, to kind of fix her brain, to let
her actually use her powers. Marie refuses, but they both
head off together to confront Cipher, which will be next
week's episode.

Speaker 2 (27:31):
And I'm still because so the Cipher have powers or
are using He's using that device because remember they show
the device that maybe can control soups as well.

Speaker 4 (27:40):
So I'm kind kind of curres about how how does
all want to shake out?

Speaker 1 (27:43):
We'll find out, but regardless, still good. If you've been
sleeping on gen V, definitely catch up because there's only
two of episodes left and then gotta wait probably till
March for the boys most.

Speaker 4 (27:52):
Likely, yeah, March, well maybe even early maybe late spring.

Speaker 1 (27:58):
Knows, who knows. But Kevin, we will have a show
before March. And we had to head on over to
Reaction Theater to break down the trailer for a Night
of the Seven Kingdom. Yeah, Kevin, you're excited for nine
of the Seven Kingdoms?

Speaker 3 (28:19):
Do you even know anything about it.

Speaker 2 (28:22):
Trailer earlier, I remember them talking about the concept wise
of this earlier and earlier in during Basically they would
come up all these Game of Thrones to spin offs.
This one sounds the most interesting telling about to me.
And now that I see the trailer, I'm like, I
like this different theme of Game of.

Speaker 1 (28:39):
Thrones and very anti magic. At least it'll start off
as most likely we did see.

Speaker 4 (28:46):
A dragon in the trailer at some point, a little
bit man.

Speaker 1 (28:48):
We'll find out. We'll find out. Well, let's get onto it.
We'll watch it, then we'll talk about it. You're ready, Kevin,
Let's do it alright. Three one in about Squire to
Sir Squire Squire, I was a boy that's here as
a last.

Speaker 4 (29:07):
He charged me to be a good night, to defend
the week.

Speaker 1 (29:11):
In the end, I'm gonna take on this Irish accent.
Did I mean you don't.

Speaker 4 (29:16):
Want a good job?

Speaker 1 (29:16):
Are you? Baylor Tar Garry? No? No?

Speaker 4 (29:22):
Then would you move the fuck out of the world.

Speaker 1 (29:28):
What's your name? So Duncan the tall.

Speaker 3 (29:32):
Egg shaped head every.

Speaker 4 (29:33):
Night in the Seven Kingdoms as Robie, and I'll hunt
you down with dogs, dogs, I'll get some.

Speaker 1 (29:53):
Gay my loss.

Speaker 4 (29:55):
I'm not a stable boy, my lord not clever enough.

Speaker 1 (29:58):
Here you I know, just the head. Sometimes I think
there could be more still skid from.

Speaker 5 (30:10):
Why do you train these royal laptops like they are better?

Speaker 1 (30:14):
Are better training? What chance do I have?

Speaker 4 (30:22):
I have no chance, boring Starburn's lack to those who
see it.

Speaker 1 (30:29):
So the look is ours alone alone. Look, man, here's
your Game of Thrones. This is gonna be like the
last episode of the season.

Speaker 3 (30:37):
You already know.

Speaker 1 (30:41):
The war game I need to fight that will be
called war games? Do I think my courage?

Speaker 4 (30:48):
There are many?

Speaker 1 (30:53):
All right, there was a dragon, could be.

Speaker 4 (31:02):
It'd be two.

Speaker 1 (31:06):
Hell yeah, cool shot that drone shot right there? Hell yeah,
hell yeah, I'm down for that. That looks like a
fun time. It looks like a lot of fun. It
looked literally looks like a more relaxed telling of the

(31:27):
Game of Thrones.

Speaker 2 (31:28):
Lower in the Game of Thrones world, where it's not
all who's going to win the throne, who's going to
win the war?

Speaker 4 (31:33):
Who's the red witch? You know who had the bigger dragon?

Speaker 1 (31:37):
Said Hey, we're gonna explore a side story in this universe.
One hundred years before the actual show, takes place.

Speaker 4 (31:44):
I can't remember how long is House the Dragon before
House of the Dragon?

Speaker 1 (31:50):
Is it a thousand or two years?

Speaker 4 (31:52):
Might? I think you're right, it might be like in
a couple of hundreds.

Speaker 3 (31:57):
Before this, one hundred and seventy two, so this is
like seventy years.

Speaker 1 (32:00):
If anything, we will get an old version of a
character from House of the Dragon, most likely popping out.

Speaker 4 (32:06):
But yeah, I don't know who this actor is playing
the main night.

Speaker 2 (32:09):
I don't know who the kid is either, but just
from this trailer, the on screen chemistry, it seems really good.

Speaker 1 (32:16):
Oh yeah, I would figure that's probably something they tested.
The actor who is playing Sir Duncan the tallest, Peter Claffey,
who is an Irish actor and a former rugby player.
That's he's a big boy, you know, sight And the
kid who is playing Egg who essentially spoilers will be
Eggon targarian A descendant. This is kind of relatively his newest,

(32:41):
his biggest thing most pretty much Obviously, The Traders came
out because New York Comic CON's going on right now,
so it makes sense. Oh yeah, but I think this
is really cool. Obviously, the six will be six episodes
season premier will be January eighteenth, twenty twenty six, so
wrap up right around March, so then there's your boys
right after you can watch it right after.

Speaker 2 (33:04):
Now now you got now now you have me a
little like it was gonna be egg on tag Ergan.
I wanted he's gonna be the one that was actually
in Game of Thrones and they didn't figure out what
was the tag Arian until like John left the Knights.

Speaker 4 (33:14):
Watch that be interesting?

Speaker 1 (33:16):
Yeah, and it'll be interesting like if this does well,
and I think this is gonna be a true litmus
test on can House or Game of Thrones. Really, House
the Dragon is really just a prequel. It's not really
a spin off. It's a prequel. This is actually a
spin off more. I mean it's in the same it's
a rogue one to anything, but like this is like, hey,

(33:36):
nothing pertinent really here. Maybe you'll hear some names and
stuff like that, but it's like, oh, here's the Ice.

Speaker 3 (33:42):
King popping out of nowhere.

Speaker 2 (33:44):
Ten also wonder to now if if the kid's ball
because he's a tag Arian and nobody wants to see
his hair.

Speaker 1 (33:50):
He's a second he's the actual heir, but they chopped
off his head. Or something or chopped up his hair.

Speaker 2 (33:55):
I will love though, like you said, uh, just kidding
nuts other people in the series. When they play the
dark theme, I can't wait.

Speaker 3 (34:01):
Yeah, and so this is interesting.

Speaker 1 (34:03):
Speaking of themes, they did say showrunner Ira Parker, this
will not have the Game of Thrones intro. It'll be
a short, little stinger intro. I think it's messed up,
but based on the trailer, I do like the little
like loot vibe or whatever. It's like Irish guitars play
ed sheer, any guitar it's playing. But yeah, I feel

(34:23):
like they could have Irish Irish. They could have irished
it up. I would, I would. I would appreciate a
different variation of it, like a minor major chord version
of it, you know.

Speaker 4 (34:32):
And I feel like the Game of Thrones theme is
this is the Game of Throne things the Game of Thrones.
It's Star Wars crawls. The Star Wars.

Speaker 2 (34:38):
I don't want to go see a Star Wars talcking
move about a crawl. I mean, Rogue did it and
it was great, but it wasn't about Skywalker's any Every
Skywalker movie has a crawl I.

Speaker 1 (34:45):
Need, and it it will look like the episodes will
range from thirty minutes to about fifty minutes, so set expectations,
which is great because Game of Thrones are touristly that
episodes are really long. But yeah, I'm excited, and then
I don't know if this gets a season two. We
originally thought, you know, House of the Dragon was only
gonna be a one donner, but it really just depends

(35:07):
who chimes in, because you historically, HBO does very well
if it's January premiere, shows Peacemaker, Last of Us kind
of the big most recent ones, and House the Dragon
also was a January premiere originally.

Speaker 2 (35:21):
So, by the way, did you see that one episode,
one of the episodes of Stranger Things this year is
going to be two hours long?

Speaker 3 (35:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (35:27):
Speaking of Stranger Things, we can head on out of
actual reaction theater because we've seen the trailer enough. Did
you see that Target has a whole aisle dedicated to
Stranger Things? And you probably haven't been a Target, but
I was there the other day just to look for
Pokemon cards really, but it was pretty cool to see
back like that was a nineties, two early two thousands,
I think of it. A whole aisle was dedicated to
one ip.

Speaker 4 (35:48):
I can't. I can't think of any strange things swag
I want.

Speaker 1 (35:53):
It was toys, and there was stranger things Dorito's and Oreos.
But I was like, hey, I'm okay, the theming this year,
at least that's appreciate.

Speaker 4 (36:01):
Well, the eggs in the freezer yet.

Speaker 1 (36:03):
Oh they did not have egos there, but they might
have been the freezers. There's a different section. But yeah,
as a child of the nineties and two thousands, uh,
it is very sad going to a Target or Walmart
and scenes tore Star Wars used to be a whole
potentially both sides of an aisle, now being the eighth
of one aisle, you know.

Speaker 2 (36:23):
Yeah, and then even like I feel like I have
two girls, even though Barbie als drinking and shrinking alms
like come on, y'all.

Speaker 1 (36:32):
Come on, you're good. Say we had a movie, come on,
milk that one. Give me all the dolls.

Speaker 2 (36:39):
And it's just like the same thing, the Barbbie plane,
the Bobby jet, Like, what's the difference between the planet.

Speaker 1 (36:43):
It's different, very same thing with any jet that comes
out now and its it's a difference. It's worth safer,
it's safer. Please yeah, I get so. Thank god we're not.
But speaking of ip's were really appreciating. Actually, it's Warner
Brothers that runs HBO Max and did the Barbie movie,
so that worked out. Talking about that, Warner Brothers has

(37:03):
actually said, you know what, everyone really liked the Minecraft movie,
or at least everyone saw it this year. Let's go
ahead green light sequel. It's coming out in twenty twenty seven. Baby,
And in somewhere every theater worker in the world said.

Speaker 2 (37:17):
No Chicken Jockey too, And today thousands of Rextent Nations
letters were tender to AMC real.

Speaker 1 (37:26):
Oh yeah, well, I think the easiest thing too, is
like I think mine the Minecraft movie.

Speaker 3 (37:31):
Did you ended up watching it?

Speaker 1 (37:32):
Right, Kevin?

Speaker 4 (37:33):
I watched part of it. I watch the whole thing.

Speaker 1 (37:35):
Oh kah, we got majority probably from TikTok as well.
Is that like the Minecraft movie did really good for
being an IP that has some story, but it's really like,
you gotta look for that story. I'm like, all right,
here's here's our playing field. Great, now we can tee up,
we could do nether stuff, we can do all the
dragons and all that other stuff that people don't really

(37:56):
know about to have people come familiarized with the game
and then give Xbox money to play it game best.

Speaker 2 (38:03):
Another thing too, is this movie made ninety one hundred
and fifty seven million dollars at the movie theater.

Speaker 3 (38:09):
It was close to a bill, really.

Speaker 4 (38:11):
Close to a bill.

Speaker 2 (38:12):
I'm gonna look look up his budget real quick, because
I don't think it made I think it made a
lot of money back on his.

Speaker 4 (38:17):
Budget Minecraft's Minecraft franchise.

Speaker 2 (38:21):
But at the same time, it was it was no
way in the world it wasn't not going to get
get a sequel because it made that much money.

Speaker 1 (38:27):
Yeah, like that's the way it works.

Speaker 2 (38:29):
With the budget was one hundred and fifty million dollars. Yeah,
with marketing, we're probably looking at like two two ten.
So this movie made all his money back.

Speaker 1 (38:40):
So the Minecraft Movies official socials tweeted out and posted
today building terrain see you in theaters July twenty third,
twenty twenty seven, with two of the pickaxes over a
crafting table, which I know that now because of the
movie what that is makes sense. I mean, you arguably
might have been the biggest movie of the year. I think,

(39:01):
even over Superman and Fantastic four.

Speaker 6 (39:04):
I think it was a high schools movie of the
year until Stitch Stitch. Yeah, z Utopia two maybe who knows?
Zutopia does weird numbers, you never know when it comes out.
And Wicked obviously we have next month as well, so
those could be its real contenders for biggest blockbuster of
the year. The interesting caveat with all this though, Kevin

(39:24):
July twenty third, twenty twenty seven.

Speaker 1 (39:27):
What also comes out that day? That a warm or
tomorrow The Simpsons Movie two comes out the same day,
Disney Warner Brothers going up head to head. No, it's
not a Barbenheimer situation.

Speaker 3 (39:42):
It is a It is a battle.

Speaker 1 (39:45):
You're gonna have your gen z jen Alpha versus your millennials,
gen xers and boomers seeing the Simpsons movie. Oh that's
that's smart. You can drop off your kids and go
see Minecraft. What you're going on to say the Simpsons
movie a good point.

Speaker 2 (39:59):
My daughter notorious he hates this movie so much because
he said, ever since the movie came out, the boys
and school act like jerks.

Speaker 4 (40:04):
I don't like it.

Speaker 1 (40:05):
They keep saying chicken jockey and don't understand it.

Speaker 4 (40:10):
Also, I'm seeing announcement they ann like the original cast.

Speaker 1 (40:13):
Coming back or they haven't. We're talking for Minecraft movie. Yeah,
as of right now, they haven't. They did confirm that
Jared Hass, who did direct the first movies, coming back
for the sequel as well as the original writer. Expectation
is Jack Black and Momoa will come back. Who knows
about the kids? Uh and out of Bayo because she

(40:36):
was also in that movie, which is wild. If they'll
come back, you never know.

Speaker 2 (40:42):
You never know, really, yeah, because I was I was
kind of more happy enough for Momoa and Jack Black,
they are established, but for Daniel Brooks was so kind
of up and coming.

Speaker 1 (40:51):
She was Kenny Moore nominated for for Orange's New Black
Color Purple. She's in a bunch of stuff you don't
realize it, and.

Speaker 2 (41:00):
I feel like her now because the sense of peacemaker
her name is certain to arise.

Speaker 4 (41:03):
So I'm happy. I'm hoping she comes back to this
so she kind.

Speaker 1 (41:06):
Of can runway get the paycheck and get the paycheck
at the same time.

Speaker 4 (41:09):
Give me a dollar.

Speaker 1 (41:10):
We respect it. But tentatively, yeah, this will be for
twenty twenty seven. You're big had to have movies, I
mean it makes sense. I think movie companies and theaters
are realizing movies coming out of the same weekend is
best for business because people will go see the movies
a Friday, Saturday or Double Duty in the same day exactly.

Speaker 2 (41:31):
And it's kind of like you just said, they'll both
be somewhat animated movies. Of course, Simps will be more
animated than this one is potentially like you said too, though,
whole family go to the movie theater. I'm pretty sure
both these movies will have a similar rummer time, like
no more than ninety eight ninety seven minutes, you know

(41:51):
what I mean. So kids, you go watch Minecraft, my
my dad can watch Simpsons, and we'll meet in the
food court after the movie. By the way, I do
think one thing they need to do is at least
bring back Jack Black, because Jack Black has proven.

Speaker 1 (42:07):
Gold for video games. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (42:09):
Well, I wanted to be Brock and Gun and got
a war.

Speaker 2 (42:11):
Series on Amazon Prime, like he needs to be Brock,
like nobody else needs to be brock with Jack Black.

Speaker 1 (42:16):
Well, they also are. And I think the other thing
is they are doing a Jumanji three, which comes out
December eleventh, twenty twenty six. Obviously that's the rock Kevin Hart,
Jack Black, Haron Gillen. They're all in talks to come back,
and that's an easy movie to film because really just
go on location. But that's kind of where you saw
that Jack Black effect really start. I know that obviously

(42:38):
the Rock and Kevin Hart, but Jack Black kind of
carried the first movie for sure, and then he's kind
of just been in this era of like, yeah, you
put Jack Black in your movie just to have Jack
Black in your movie, say thing with the Anaconda movie
coming out, you know in December.

Speaker 4 (42:50):
Oh ye, so yeah it was that one. Then he
was Bowser of course.

Speaker 3 (42:56):
Which is just Jack Black.

Speaker 1 (42:57):
It wasn't him doing him doing a driver always like
that was it.

Speaker 4 (43:02):
Him?

Speaker 1 (43:02):
Right?

Speaker 2 (43:02):
That crazy song like Jack Black is definitely I feel
like in his black that makes sense to Jack.

Speaker 1 (43:09):
That's I don't know if either of those are the.

Speaker 5 (43:13):
Right.

Speaker 4 (43:14):
I don't know which one it is.

Speaker 3 (43:15):
He's in his era, He's in his duffy right now.

Speaker 4 (43:17):
I I don't know if you ever saw it Saving
Silverman from back in the day.

Speaker 1 (43:21):
That is a deep cut of movie. But that's that entertainment. Yeah,
I'm trying to think. Also, oh, that's what I'm talking about. Peaches,
the song from Mario movie. He'll also be in Mario
movie too when that comes out yep, next year, I believe.
I think if I remember, is when I was at

(43:41):
Universe Studios crowd when they had that song featured in
the Little Fireworks Nighttime displaying crowd. That was the hypest
moment the kid crowd went versus Shrek, versus Kung Fu Panda.
It was the Peaches song over anything else.

Speaker 4 (43:59):
The video going around.

Speaker 2 (44:00):
I think it was a kid out of Pennsylvania somewhere,
but they had like a school talent show and the
kid played Peaches and the entire gymnasium pages, pages, it
went everywhere.

Speaker 1 (44:11):
The teacher's like, Alwa's starting to write right now by
the beaches outline the auditorium. I don't know.

Speaker 4 (44:17):
I mean it is a thoughtful song. I was singing
to my wife. I'm actually later maybe so she could
slap me, hilarious.

Speaker 1 (44:25):
I don't know what you guys do in your house.
That's what you guys do either way, exciting times.

Speaker 3 (44:33):
We always love it.

Speaker 1 (44:34):
Just we I think we benefit the most out of
it really just to see multiple movies that same weekend
or early depending. But speaking of movies, that's in the
Deer or actually not in the ear that's the far future.
Let's talk about the immediate near future. And Kevin, we
actually have to go somewhere. Do you know where we
have to go? The grid because we're talking about tron Aries.

Speaker 4 (45:00):
Kevin, So I'll hope them to the grand twice.

Speaker 3 (45:07):
And it was March.

Speaker 4 (45:09):
How would your experience?

Speaker 1 (45:11):
I was saying the song you're hearing right now, that
was the high part of the movie. We're gonna talk
about the trailer the movie right now, so I got
distracted real quick.

Speaker 3 (45:21):
And that music was good.

Speaker 1 (45:24):
So your boys saw tron Aries. We're gonna sort of
do a non spoiler mild spoiler review just.

Speaker 3 (45:32):
To let you know what you're going in for.

Speaker 1 (45:34):
Man, that music was so good. I'm gonna play that
again at the end of the podcast at the end.
But it was one time. It was one time. Tron Aries,
in case you didn't know, is technically the third Tron movie,
technically the fourth Tron property, because there is a Tron
Rising show on Disney Plus that was on Disney XD
back in the day. Animation looks a little rough on

(45:55):
a little rough on it because they were going for
like a stylized thing because Disney XD. They kind of
could do whatever they wanted. How it got Star Wars Rebels,
So we'll take it. Man, what a great show. But
this is the last movie we had, I believe was
twenty ten's Tron Legacy, which notoriously when I talked about

(46:17):
that and I'll watch you watch it in a couple
of weeks ago, Mora's first movie date. I'm like, no, no, no, no, no,
no more did not go to see Tron Areas with
me because she forgot the plot of Tron Legacy. And
you don't need to remember it either, because they really
don't honor they really don't care about Tron Legacy.

Speaker 3 (46:34):
They pick maybe five bits from that movie and that's it.

Speaker 2 (46:38):
Well, I mean, honestly, from what I remember about Tron Legacy,
not much was taken from the original Tron because it
was more about getting that girl out of.

Speaker 1 (46:49):
Jeff Bridge's face was taken from the original movie. But
that's the whole thing sportfully wait and ended up looking.
But this movie does star Jared Leto. It was about
I think two hours, like really like right out on
the two hour beat mark.

Speaker 3 (47:05):
Who else is in it?

Speaker 1 (47:06):
Greta Lee is in it as well, She's in a
bunch of FX shows if you know, if you watched
any of those, Yes, tron A cast Evan Peters is
a villain. He's actually a Dillinger in this movie. So
if you know you're tron history, Dillinger's are pretty much
the bad guy and everything Jeff Bridges comes back to.

(47:26):
You have Gillian Anderson and Jodie Turner. Smith is one
of the villains and blink and he missed a cameo.
Cameron Monaghan is in this movie for five seconds, and
I was like, wait a second, he's in the title sequence.
Why is he? I didn't know he was in this movie.
You wouldn't remember because he was in it for ten
seconds at most.

Speaker 4 (47:47):
Well, okay, he got paid.

Speaker 1 (47:50):
It was a pop for me because like, oh Calcastus
and no one else in the theater would like pop
for him? Cow loo me you doing a Jedi lip?

Speaker 3 (48:00):
You're doing it.

Speaker 1 (48:02):
I can't wait to see that next year hopefully. Oh yeah,
oh pezse But toront Airs here's a synopsis, follows a
highly sophisticated program are. He's played by Jared Leto, who
sent from the digital world into the real world on
a dangerous mission marking humankinds first encounter with a I beings. Essentially,

(48:23):
it's what would have happened if Trono Legacy actually happened
in the AI crossover in the real world. And I
will say, what the trailer did made me think this
is going to be a different movie than it actually was,
which really is a good or bad thing because it's
not as predictable as you thought it was going to
be based on the trailer, all right, So it was
more one.

Speaker 4 (48:41):
Of those marketing points where the trail makes it look
like this, Yes.

Speaker 1 (48:45):
The trailer makes it look like it's Pixels where you know,
like the Aliens video game world was taking over the planet.
This not so much mainly that essentially the evil Corp.
It's dylaner versus n comm and com being, you know,
the good guys for tront and everything that they're competing
to see who can get the permanence code to allow
digital beings to permanently be in the place they are

(49:08):
instead of having to de rez every thirty minutes. That's
kind of the main central point of what they're fighting for.
But lo and behold, you know, Jared Leto, he's gonna
go rouge baby, wouldn't move. It's right, that is true.
That is true. I will say Jared Leto is pretty

(49:28):
good in the first half. I actually have my little
letterbox reviews like Jared leedle had me in the first
half because he's very having to be a program in AI,
having to talk robotically and his soft spoken voice but
also like monotone voice at the same time really works.
And it's the second half You're like, ooh, he's finding
life and personality and that's not what we want. No,

(49:49):
think you it's getting a little close to Morbius right now.

Speaker 2 (49:53):
Oka say, what was it as bad as Morbius or
Joker or was it kind of another dventure?

Speaker 4 (49:59):
Ah? But I don't remember being that bad in more
because this is a bad movie all around.

Speaker 1 (50:03):
Yeah, and his Joker was okay, it was different. It's
just behind the scenes. Shennanigas that's what caused them like yeah, yeah,
this movie. I mean I think this is like I said,
the first half had me. I thought it was pretty good.
I will say acting overall is me. I think it's
maybe just the story, but this movie really is a

(50:25):
sign of the Tron franchise. Great concepts, great visuals, amazing soundtrack,
which I'll get to in a little bit. But the
plot and the story just ain't there, baby, And.

Speaker 4 (50:36):
That's really hot.

Speaker 2 (50:37):
I feel like there is maybe an edit of all
three Tron movies together for like two hours.

Speaker 1 (50:42):
They could be.

Speaker 3 (50:44):
It could be.

Speaker 1 (50:45):
Uh. And the funniest thing is, Kevin, do you care
if I go.

Speaker 3 (50:47):
In to Miles.

Speaker 1 (50:48):
I mean, I've been kind of three Miles spoils already.
I've been twice, and I've been the grid enough. I'm good.

Speaker 3 (50:53):
I don't even go back. Great come to me, which
is what those movies about.

Speaker 1 (50:58):
This movie starts practice the same way Tron Legacy starts,
and I'm like.

Speaker 5 (51:02):
Oh no, We're not doing this again because it kicks
it starts off with Jeff Bridges, young Jeff Bridges doing
a speech on TV about the digital revolution.

Speaker 1 (51:13):
You're like, no, and it is definitely a deep fake.
But we're in twenty twenty five, so it looks decent now.
Believe me, I believe some of those WWE deep fakes
that have been popping up on TikTok. Oh.

Speaker 2 (51:25):
Man, I've seen I've seen so many. I saw one
another day of Notorious Big and Tupac ring together.

Speaker 1 (51:33):
I saw dots in wrestling in a vacuum today, I
was all right, sure it knows me now dog and wrestling.
But anyway, you're like, oh no, And the intro is
a little weird, just of like the same thing Tron
Legacy had. But once it gets going, it's okay. But
then it's the human parts they like, I don't really

(51:55):
vibe with it, and then it kind of flips it
on itself. Halfway to the movie. We're like, I like
the human parts, not so much. What's going on with
Jared Leto as an AI.

Speaker 2 (52:03):
It's that seems to be the thing about, like I say,
the series, Like even with the first Tron and the
second one, the acting is always kind of wooden, But
what draws you win is the actual the grid and
the technology around the world. Like how was like there's
that one scene in the trailer where like the grid
jet destroys a regular jet. How was the the action?

Speaker 1 (52:21):
Uh? Yeah, So I think the coolest, like the coolest
thing is and it's in the trailer. You see the Tron,
the light cycle and the sort of jet, and obviously
I think I believe it's I might be the Ravager.
Don't quote me on that, which is the big little
like bracket looking ship coming in the real world and
there's a tank. I thought it was pretty cool. It's

(52:41):
an interesting what they do to say like the world
building of yes, they came in the real world, but
their effects really didn't because they do the little light
behind them, but it doesn't like kill anybody immediately or
de resum It just it's like, oh, it's a light.

Speaker 3 (52:57):
It's a wall.

Speaker 1 (52:57):
I can't get through more than anything, which like, ah,
it's that's not what I wanted.

Speaker 4 (53:01):
It sucks, you know, and that's be funny though I
was thinking about this.

Speaker 2 (53:04):
Actually, uh, this was also was a plot the plot
I think the stints for four where they were put
in the grid basically and everything in the game happened
in sadas virtual world.

Speaker 3 (53:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (53:14):
Well, and that's the thing. This movie has three acts.
Really the second act is very quick, very very quick,
and it wasn't I wasn't expecting that to happen because
pretty much that when the digital beings come in to
the word world, they have a thirty minute timeframe and
it once they're up the ad Rez, but there's a
backup playing and then you get sucked up into the

(53:36):
tron wheld the grid, which is cool, but you're like,
oh wait, this is interesting, and then nope, we're going
back to the real world. Ignore what happened in the
past twenty minutes. It's a whole thing. I think it
is as that's definitely like, oh, we want to change
up the visuals and see how you're looking at in
the movie. I will say this movie is a visual delight.
I think it is worth the IMAX and Doleby up

(53:58):
charge if you're going to go see it, because I
think that's just the way you should see this movie,
because it's very pretty. If you got back lights at home,
that will help when it's on Disney Plus. But the
thing that saves this movie nine inch Nails kills it
with the soundtrack. Literally we say I just sampled it
when we started this bit, but immediately off the rip,

(54:19):
they're playing a song. In the beginning of this movie,
Eric and I are just dancing and it's just like robotics,
just like this is how like nineties in early two
thousands was dancing. They're just dancing on the beat. You're
not you're not shaking your butt, You're going.

Speaker 2 (54:32):
I actually do think they're currently playing that most of
some of that soundtrack in the Magic Kingdom Ride they
flipped in red for the villain. I think actually playing
that that soundtrack there too, because I saw a video
of one that's not the.

Speaker 1 (54:43):
One I heard in the December keep it going.

Speaker 4 (54:46):
Very heroic and very you know, like you know, sweeping
and dramatic. But now I heard bass.

Speaker 3 (54:52):
Yeah, babe, let's go entire movie.

Speaker 1 (54:55):
That soundtrack kills it. If you like the daft punk
one from Tron Legacy, I think this one's better just
because it's like you're like you're feeling it, Like you said,
you're feeling that base. And that's why I think Imax
and Dolby is great for that, because you're just constant
in your head the whole time we're watching this movie.
I will say they do something in the back third
of this movie visually is really cool. I won't spoil it,

(55:19):
but it is a cameo reason why. But I thought
it was really interesting for a movie you can called Tron.
Tron's not even in the damn movie at all.

Speaker 3 (55:30):
But that's just that's me.

Speaker 4 (55:33):
That's where like, I don't remember Tron being just a
bunch of Tron Legacy either.

Speaker 3 (55:37):
He well he was.

Speaker 1 (55:38):
He was Wrensler, Kevin he was. He was the side
minion until the very last five minutes of that movie.

Speaker 2 (55:43):
But you would think, though, that, especially this day and age,
that marketing your hero as Tron would have been like
the thing to do, you know, I mean, uh off,
Tron is Chris Evans, Like, oh my gosh.

Speaker 4 (55:56):
Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (55:56):
It's not Bruce box Slider anymore. It's Chris. To that element,
there is connection to Tron legacy, and I think at
the very end of this movie, and I think they
are trying to tee up a sequel in.

Speaker 3 (56:09):
Some form with Kira uh.

Speaker 2 (56:12):
Ra.

Speaker 1 (56:13):
Now, yes, there was another Kira in Disney Lower. Oh,
there also is a good Kira reference with a little
there's a little light cycle slide. I'm like, oh, Akira,
and no one else got it, but I was like,
I got it. I know what you're going for their
director the villain, Like I said, they do tea up
a sequel in some form. I personally think this franchise

(56:36):
would be good as a Disney Plus show on the
levels of FX think and or I think really if
they got I mean not necessarily Tony Gilroy, but maybe
whoever who who did who did the alien? Who did Alien?

Speaker 4 (56:54):
I can see his face.

Speaker 3 (56:55):
He did Noah Holly. They got Noah Holly behind this.

Speaker 1 (56:59):
I think doubt be really cool Disney Plus show, especially
because Disney Plus right now it is kind of even
a weird era of like Marvel doesn't want to do
any more shows as much as it can be. Star
Wars is kind of there. But I think a Tron
show would be pretty cool, and that they could do
something cool to streaming services like oh, the episode got
d rez, you have to go find it somewhere else
or something like that.

Speaker 5 (57:19):
You know.

Speaker 4 (57:20):
I agree, And I'll also say I think they should
just do an animated show.

Speaker 3 (57:23):
Well they did it was Tron Rising and watched it.

Speaker 1 (57:25):
But I think, let me rephrase that, a better ane show.
I think if they most of the cast here besides
Jared Letto, you could get for a Disney Plus show.
I just don't. I mean, we'll find out this weekend.
I don't think a lot of people are gonna see
this movie in theaters. They'll probably wait till it's on
Disney Plus. So that's why I think invest in the show.
A lot of people in the cast have been in
shows in some form that are really good. Do it

(57:48):
that way, and I think that would be a banger
of a hit and really redefine and really define Tron
going forward.

Speaker 2 (57:54):
You know, any I already says it's gonna be a
mat and a movie for her. But like I said,
I think we should do, like I said, a better
animated show because that way you're not really limited by
a You're still limited by a budget, but you can
do more, Like you said, those fantastic virtual shots. An
animated show then will be because you can't justify a
big TV budget for what is still a very very

(58:15):
niche platform. And Tron like it could be great, but
for some reason, all three of kind of just like, eh,
I like Tron, but you know it's okay.

Speaker 1 (58:24):
I'll put it on the same thing as the Avatar franchise,
but hate me or not the Avatar franchise.

Speaker 4 (58:31):
Yeah, but Avatar.

Speaker 2 (58:32):
I don't think that says the Avatar like you said,
but this one fantastic visuals like Pandora looks like a
real place.

Speaker 4 (58:38):
You actually can kind of visit it, and I really
wanted to. But again, the.

Speaker 2 (58:43):
Story of Avatar is it's thin. I think they're getting
a little bit better every time. I think this third
one is going to be the one that hook me personally.
But like, you don't go to Avatar for the for
the compelling story, you go for like, man, this looks incredible.

Speaker 1 (58:59):
Yeah over, although if I were to give a score personally,
i'd give it at most a seven out of ten
light cycles. I think mostly that is because of the soundtrack.
If you don't want to watch the movie, listen to
the nine inch Nail soundtrack if anything, because that's really good.

Speaker 2 (59:18):
The question is does the movie experience I guess, maybe
dim your excitement for riding the ride in Disney.

Speaker 1 (59:25):
World, it's oh, that's interesting. I mean, they do feature
the light cycle a lot in this one. I think
in the second one they didn't really they had a scene,
but it wasn't really like featured a lot.

Speaker 3 (59:35):
In Legacy.

Speaker 1 (59:37):
I think it does because you're like, I want to
go ride that by Still, it is weird to me
that the tron area like, oh, we're like, oh, do
you want to make yourself a digital action figure where
your digital faces on the action figure? No, I don't,
Like I don't want to go buy a.

Speaker 3 (59:53):
Light disc, you know, I don't need that.

Speaker 4 (59:56):
Look cool at night. I'll give them that looks really cool.

Speaker 1 (59:58):
Yeah, look cool night.

Speaker 4 (01:00:00):
I but like I wrote it right right at like
I want to say, it was like dusk and it's
really really cool.

Speaker 1 (01:00:07):
Yeah. Well, overall, this might be a wait till it
is like andy drug, I said, a matinee in a
discount ticket price, or just wait till it's on training.

Speaker 3 (01:00:16):
But hey, it's out nine inch nails.

Speaker 1 (01:00:18):
You killed it. Everyone else you need that, all right?

Speaker 2 (01:00:21):
Like from what you said, it sounds like a FX movie,
like oh, shoot, sawe let me watch this real quick
when you already.

Speaker 4 (01:00:27):
Cleaning up on a Saturday.

Speaker 3 (01:00:29):
