(00:08):
Welcome back to the nerty news andneeds to know throughout the week on Nightheart
Radio went back cay services around theworld. Because my abs Kevin, and
you're officially listening to this Monday episodewhat cav Crisis on Infinite Kay got a

(00:29):
dust down here. It's getting prettygets getting dusted. Some grime on there,
but we, uh, we gota jam pack show for you today.
Not there's some grime. You know, we're gonna clean up the news
cycle for you. I guess,as some would say. Also, you're
probably asking where the hell's Teddyett.He's sick right now, so he is
on He's on bed watch right now, so he is not allowed to do

(00:51):
podcast. So somebody Okay, yeah, he just he ate something weird,
but it's fine. He's so he'sover there. So I heard. I
heard him personally because I knew Iknow what he sounds like. But I'm
like, I shouldn't be doing thatright now. You're gonna get in trouble
with your mother. Yeah, doyou have like the dog clim too much
taco bell? Probably you know wedidn't give him taco bell, mind you.
I'm not that bad. I'm notthat like I'll give him Teddy some

(01:15):
food, but I'm not giving himtaco bell. Well, I mean it
kind of looks the same as dogs. I mean, technically you could argue
what cheese roll up if you wantedto, because it really just cheese and
a tortilla. But that's a wholeargument, and I'm not getting the dog
haters on me. Right, it'schocolate can right, chocolate they can't have
cheese? Is okay because you wrapyour treats and cheese and all that stuff.

(01:38):
So as far as we know,well, this is a fun fact.
I didn't know this is that alot of dogs are actually allergic to
chicken. And guess what's in mostdog food chicken. Interesting even if you
get the same like if you getsalmon or the beef version of dog food.
A pet owner future pet tips ifyou don't have a pet is that
still has chicken in it. Chickenproducts are in it, though. I

(02:01):
look, there's a whole industry onlike of like marketing that is that is
pet food companies marketing food they won'teat to humans. Yeah, it's like,
oh, your dog will love this. I don't know if they will
love it. It's really up tothem. But I gotta buy the twenty
pound bag of it. There's noother way to get it. I'm so
glad it's not part of my grocerybest because expensive, Well, you just

(02:23):
buy it once and hopefully it lastyear, like three months. Hopefully.
Oh at least what taddy it does? So, oh, I don't want
people to have those bigger dogs.Oh that go through a baby We get
get laid over your shoulder like this. So Kevin, I don't know this
boogie ass dog parent more than Iare. We buy the big ass dog
bag. They're like, oh,so everyone thinks we had a big gass
dog. I hope. Like,nah, he's about a third the size

(02:45):
of this bag of food. Wejust try to get it for cheap.
Well, I mean for a smalldog makes more sense. I guess I'm
not gonna eat as much whereas youhave a big bulk going to that bag.
What's what's once a month? Theysee Kevin eat open up a can
of worms? And now we're justgoing on a die tribe of dog parenting
and stuff. It is apparently dogfood spoils. So also keep in mind
of that, because we've learned thatI didn't know that it's dog food is

(03:09):
basically like cereal though like like theheart essentially. Yeah, it's like food
compounded so much that it's just thecrunchy like frosted flakes but with flavoring,
but other stuff. They have twogolden dudles. They wererun through food all
the time. Well you know,oh yeah, I mean that's that's what
happens. That what happens. Butyou know what's gonna happen In today's episode,
Kevin Star Kid Action, because we'retalking about nineteen ninety eight Star Kid

(03:34):
in preparation of Blue Beetle coming outthis week, because we are on Blue
Beetle Watch, because we just wantto rock Body yadi Ya as the trailer
would got a song on the trailerthat's funny. It's not gonna be the
movie, but you know, Ireally wish it was, because I could
not wait for all these press reviewersbe like, oh I did not like
the Body yadi Ya song that playedin mathway during the credits to take your

(03:55):
monocle off, and he exactly,we're talking about that Blue Beetle predictions,
gonna talk about the last rounning gamethat's coming from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,
Assassin's Creed Mirage, Kevin, thatgame you're looking forward to, Slash are
kind of excited about. God,it's really state moved unfortunately or fortunately you'll
have to find out. Yea.I remember when posts come out what we

(04:16):
talk about it. I kind oftalking about that and so much more than
I'm gonna say the other one justa little do a little tease, but
you can see everything we're talking aboutso much more about going to hot Nutty
nine five dot com, Slash CrisisCrew or keep a lockdo our social media's
at infinite underscore pods on the Instagram, or to Twitter or our sorry X,
my bad. I know I keepcalling on Twitter. I'm gonna keep

(04:39):
calling Twitter unfortunately, or on toX dot com. You see that if
it works, and it worked nowyou were like, I hope I don't

else, or on Threads. Let'sface it, Threads is all but dead
right now, so it's on lifesupport. We're waiting for the next dumb
thing that X guy doesn't know it'lljump up again. Probably, Yeah,

(05:01):
I mean that's what happens. ButKevin, where can they also go to
watch us live record the podcast orcomment on their own time or their own
accord. We could go to YouTubedot com to watch us on demand and
comment to your heart discontent YouTube ducomtat Underscore Pots, or watch this live
like any Droganji be Perry, Coolstory bro Aaron Giles at twitch dot tv,

(05:23):
slush If, Underscore Pots. It'salways a good time. But we
always started the podcast probably with whatyou're doing. We talked about the things
we were watching, games, we'vebeen playing, lives, we've been living
in Cousin is a Monday, Goodsir, Kevin, you get to go
first, say this weekend, youboy went hiking. Oooh we're on a

(05:45):
five mile hike through lake rolling herelotsmore. It was funny because there's two
like there's two different sides of thepark. One has one like longer trail
has like all the other trails.So I did, I did. I
did the trail on one side ofthe park first, and then it just
after a while you walk out ofthe woods until they're like this really fabulous
million dollars home neighborhood. I waslike, wow, I don't make that
I wish I could live here.They live in a forest. And then

(06:09):
while you're walking you realize this isall uphill. This hurts, and a
certain part of the little trail wentlike, I want to say, a
mile past the park into like it'sa regular old like street. I'm like,
oh, I know the street,don't donuts. Oh yeah, station,
I know this is this is great. This is the park right here.
So then I went back down,double back into the other side of

(06:30):
the trail. For the rest ofmy five miles, got some pretty seeing
views of the lake there. Ididn't take my phone out though, because
I forgot I was in the woods. So as I'm walking in fantastic past
of the water, I wasn't takemy phone. I'll take a picture,
but I'm seeing these little dust mites, like you know, all around my
face. I'm slide them away.As I focused in on with my eyes,

(06:51):
I realized they're all spiders, justcoming down from hell. Yeah,
they're trying to make you spider manKevin. And I was like, you
know what, it's time to leavethe woods. So I kind of double
double double time to back to mycards. I got here. This isn't
cool. Also this weekend, II thought my dishwasher was broken, but

(07:15):
come to find out, my mycussin came over and she figured out a
way to make it work. Andthen I don't know what she did because
I can't get to work again.And you're gonna keep it. I was
like, you're gonna keep it justas it is and no one's gonna touch
it for five years. I feellike it works. I've got to fig
out to write button combination for itto get to the work. I'm not
spinning hundred dollars on the dishwasher ifI don't have to. I mean,
deal, you wouldn't want to.Other than that, listen to a lot

(07:38):
of wrestling podcasts this weekend that aren'tlike, you know, I stopped listening
to like the normal Joe wrestling podcast, just just loud noise sometimes. So
listen to a lot of like Rosenbergand she what's a guy's name? Not
Sam? Okay like that. Sobecause Jus and stuff is pretty cool.
From Friday night now, Kevin,speaking of that, we have to talk

(07:58):
about We're still on WrestleMania watch andit all leads to this Friday ten o'clock
on your computer I'm gonna have totalk to the wife. I'm like,
hey, hon, what's our creditcard limit? Can I maybe buy one
ticket who the joint account and thenwe'll figure out not a ticket later.

(08:22):
I'm gonna buy it, but I'mgonna buy both tickets at the joint account,
but I'll figure out how to payyou back one day for the one
ticket. We'll figure figure out andfigured out. But yeah, that's exciting.
And I don't know. Did youwatch SmackDown? I did not.
I know the highlights because of Jayuso. Correct. First of all, kind
it goes to your your people inDC or Virginia. For some reason,

(08:43):
they preempted SmackDown in Baltimore for apreseason Commanders game. I was like,
no, no, no, no, no no, this is Ravens Country.
I don't care about its. Luckily, there was like a there was
like a I guess a thunderstorm somethinglike that, but it was like a
raindlay in a football game, Solike the first maybe hour and ten minutes

(09:03):
air, then he's respect to thefootball game. So I had to watch
wrestent on TikTok. That's so annoying. I'm really excited about see where wrestling
goes in the next guess what ninemonths? Nine months, because hopefully we'll
be there nine months from now.I mean, I'll always say, worst
case you see my catch, getout cat cam as you cam now.

(09:24):
Also, Kevin, apparently we switchedover to the normal stay tuned view.
I did, oh, no,we're good. Now we're good, went
back, We're good. But yeah, so I'm really excited about wrestling going.
And then I the what else I'lldo this weekend? Oh, watched
our kid there? We good?Yeah, so I got to go home
Virginia Beach, which is great.My family wanted to celebrate my birthday a

(09:48):
month and a half early, butthey all forgot their seeing me the week
after my birthday, so I waslike, thank you. I guess I
mean a month away from Disney.We tomorrow months tomorrow, as this podcast
according away from Disney. From Morre'sfirst time at Disney, still trying to
convince her. We got one dayof matching shirts the other day. It
seems like I can only move somuch. You can only look at Kohle's

(10:13):
T shirts that are Star Wars forso long before they all blend together.
So you're there. Thirteenth fourteen,fifteenth, sixteenth, and seventeenth. Baby
come back to eighteenth. We mayon that Monday, you have to bring
her on the show and do aDisney review. We will well, yeah,
yes, depending on when we getback and how how the mood has

(10:33):
settled for everybody a trip, Socan I feel like that that's it gonna
be. Maybe I get my wife. We could like a double review.
Oh we could. We could.How many people came and getting two squares
in? Get sit next to me. My chair won't move over. But
yes, that was great. Guy, I'm hang out with the family.
I did finish the last Rowning.We're gonna talk about that a little bit.

(10:56):
With the video game and adaptation withit, I have. This is
cool. I wanted to do thisbecause I started this my senior year of
high school, didn't really keep goingwith it because of college and because people
were hating on it. Adventure Time. I'm restarting it, so I'm gonna
watch it fully because I know Fionaand Cake, the spinoff is coming eventually

(11:16):
on max An. Adventure Time Ifeel like is in the same breath of
you know, Avatar, same breathof what the hell is the Disney Show?
I forget what it is, dangit off the top of my head
that I watched forever, the onemccamoty Career Guy show camp something, uh
whatever it is, yeah, chat, We'll do it in my head,

(11:39):
I can't, I can't remember.But that show as well, I think
just kind of ushered in animation.Animated shows kind of like being kooky and
being like wacky by like being weirdand being for adults at the same time.
Yeah, it was funny. Howthere was like a span of time
where sorry, Kevin, it wasgravity false. I remembered what how I'll

(12:01):
just stress into two there. It'sa time where the writers were commid enough
to write content that was funny forkids and funny for adults and you got
to joy it altogether. And nowI feel like, but that's kind of
gone. Yeah, and it's Imean obviously like we have show we still.
I think we've separated it now wherethere is animated cartoons for adults only
Rick and Morty, and there isfor kids, and shows like My Adventures

(12:26):
of Superman, which is out now, is kind of trying to bridge the
gap. By the way, ifyou haven't seen on TikTok, this week's
an episode of My Adventures of Supermandoes something really cool with multiverses, and
that's all I'm gonna say. Atthis point. I need to just wait
until they're all out because I keepforgetting to watch. We're close, We're
close, baby, don't worry,and then oh, just shout out,

(12:46):
We're not gonna watch it, justbecause it's like it's like a fifteen second
clip is check out the latest Asokatrailer on your social media wherever it is,
because it's really dope. It's alot of footage we've seen alright in
trailers, but how it's narrated ishype as hell because they have Hayden Christensen,
Nary and as Asoka. It's thefirst time live action Anakin says Ahsoka.

(13:11):
It's really cool because I think we'veheard of this, we've seen this.
Is that Hayden Christensen watched the CloneWars before he came in for Obi
Wan Kenobi. I think he kindof got Matt Lanter, who's the voice
actor of Anakin and the Clone WarsCadence, down to sort of match how
it is in the Clone Wars alittle bit. It's funny. I saw
the trailer the way he got intended. I saw it was out. I
think I had to sit down andwatch it yet, but I forgot.

(13:31):
I was watching something and it cameup as as like a commercial. Breaker
was like, all sweet, Iactually got to see it. This is
what I wanted to see it likethat was marketed too great. But Kevin,
that's what I've been doing. Letus know what you've been doing.
If an underscore positor in the comments. But let's get on into it.
It's time for the news. It'scome no news, so first, thanks,

(13:56):
First we have to talk about thatplay Station five Slim. Quotations marked
there if you're listening to the audioversion of the podcast model that leaked over
this weekend. Correct Kevin, becauseit might be the real deal, it
might not. I'm not really sure. Yeah, this has been an odd

(14:20):
consoles, A good generation, midgeneration or something upgrade. I don't know.
It just feels because when the XboxSeries X and the PS five or
launch it was impossible to get SoI feel like we're behind the bar on
where we should be. So Ifeel like right now A Slim is way
too soon to be coming out.Yeah, and it makes sense if you

(14:43):
like without COVID without you know,supply chains all issues around now is when
you would have released it, becausePS five what now has been out for
two three two three years and ahalf years usually makes sense and usually you
know, we've gone look at thePS three, looking at a PS four
and saying the Xbox. You getthe normal base, you get a slim

(15:03):
version because they figured out how tosmall down that giant tech looking at you
PS three. Then you get apro version, like a PlayStation four Pro.
This is kind of a side grade. It's not really an upgrade.
It's just like, yeah, well, if you don't want you know,
your console will be maybe an inchbigger, you know it now on slim.

(15:26):
Yeah, because I feel like itstill gonna be the same, Like
because the PS five is a bigboy in both length and width, so
I feel like it's still gonna bea pretty a pretty large machine. Yeah.
So if you did, in caseyou missed it, check out the
video at infant on the score pods. Everyone retweeted it and showed it this
weekend. WI sixty four thank youfor that. But a video appeared thanks
to b w e dev which isall over the watermark of the video in

(15:50):
case you missed it, that showssomeone holding a PlayStation five Slim, which
really you can't really tell l untilthey flip it on the bottom. Mean,
you can clearly see that it's aPS five that doesn't have long cover
I guess on the right side ofit, Kevin right, yes, yes,

(16:11):
yeah, but instead it has insteadof being one solid color or it's
got a line breaking in the middle, and it looks like that's where the
detachable disc drive can be inserted into. Really weird because really it's like you're
plugging it in. I thought itwas gonna be like a USB cord or
something, since the rumors have beenthat's what it's gonna be. But no,

(16:33):
you can plug it out, plugit in. Apparently that's interesting,
I guess, because this drive canbe just I guess what's the word just
by itself next some kind of port. I kind of remind me of the
old ht DVD drive for the XboxWEE sixteen. It came separate, yeah,
attach it to it. Yeah.Yeah. So it's interesting the room.

(16:55):
Obviously, if you've noticed PlayStation fiveSpace model not dig it'll have been
on sale for fifty I've seen aslow as four nineteen at some places,
depending on where you shop, you'rea lot of people saying this is the
sign that for now they're on salebecause they're doing it back to school sale.
But it's most likely because they're tryingto get rid of stock to prepare

(17:17):
for this. It's not really ahalfway model. It's not really the PlayStation
five Base one slam down because it'sstill pretty much the same thing. But
you could take out the disc driveif you want, if you really want
to, though, you know,yeah, I mean I've only had used
my disk drive for one game toofar because I bought it before I knew
I had APS five. Other thanthat, I've not used the thing.

(17:41):
Well, no, when they usedit to watch Mario on the other day.
Well, and that's that's the thing. So like, yeah, obviously
like blue rays and DVDs or anythinglike that you would have watched you need
to disk drive for or extension orwhatever. But it's interesting, not just
because your boy is trying to lookaround for PlayStation five's waiting until see how
much burke the money he gets thisyear, as any good gamer should do,

(18:03):
and then not buy it wholeheartedly onthe credit card to figure out later.
Is that the disc version of MilesMorales that comes with The Spider Man
Remastered is on sale for twenty bucks. But if you want them both digitally,
that's forty bucks plus twenty bucks.So here's yourselfhie's choice. You get

(18:25):
enough money for a PS five right, uh huh? But who have we
give it to you? Says likeyou need to get a PS five ticket?
Are choosing? Oh well, here'sthe thing. Now, this is
if I didn't have a bachelor party, and it's it's being paid for,
it brought to you by people.This is just like it's a regular old

(18:45):
hoodie just living in a life.There's no no wedding, there's just just
you out here, just you know, existed. I would say at that
rate, probably just at WrestleMania ticket, I feel like because it's like,
all right, once in a lifetimeWrestleMania, it's forty it's a bigger deal.
Sort, I mean in our heads, it's a bigger deal. To
them, it might not be,but it is, like I mean,
in any any any I guess decadegoing by as a big as a big

(19:08):
one like I went to I wentto thirty three. I'm just thirty three.
This is wrestle any twenty that's likethe first one I watched it was
dope as hell. Wrestle Me thirtykind of cool. That's not as cool
as twenty, but cool. Nineteenwas. I think Rock Austin two that
was a great one. It wasgood. That was a great one.
Is a good one. Rock Austinthree for wrest of Me? Who don't

(19:30):
know does that happened? That wouldactually know? They're both a pretty good
shapes. Still on good they coulddo it, But yeah, I think
at that point it's kind of like, well just wait. So if you
are in the market like me fora PS five Black Friday, it might
be your opportunity to really to geta big deal on the base model of
PlayStation five or by then, Iwould assume they would have the Slim announced

(19:52):
or coming out around then for theholidays, Holiday bundle, m bundle,
whatever games out there. Well,Spider Man, get a slim Slim Spider
Man, three of them, baby, give it to me. But speaking
of video games, we do haveto talk about one that got its release
date pushed up for the first timein a while, because Assassin's Creed Mirage

(20:17):
isn't coming out on October twelfth,Anymore coming out in October fifth of this
year, Beau first playing a homegame that is the Assassins creathing probably I
know exactly, but you. Musoftannounced today that the game's launching a week
earlier than planned. The game's gonegold, which on this podcast we've talked
about many times. It means prettymuch, based development on the game,

(20:41):
it's completed, it's good to go, and this is where they work on
that day one patch for it toship out, because the disc has only
what it can ship out. Youknow, I am as weirdly, I'm
not as excited as I have beenin the past Assassin's Creed releases. You
don't want to hang out with BostonBossom suck. He played Holla, Bossom

(21:03):
sucked, Like I don't want tostay, and now you gotta find out
why he does suck, you know. But like I remember, I didn't
I didn't play. She was theone sendicate. I didn't sendicate. Then
when I heard what they were doingmy Origins, I was like, oh
that's different Egyptian. Okay, that'skind of cool, and then loved Origins.
So it's really excited for Otassey lovedOdyssey logs twenty hours in that game,

(21:25):
so I'm really excited for About Hallawas okay, too long, Yeah,
it's way too long. Even eventhe DFC for that game was too
long. And then when they announcedit doing another one, I was like,
coo, cool, make it's gonnabe Bostom. I'm like, why
Bossom. I mean, okay,now, okay, where's my my thing
here? Spoiler spoiler spoiler they arespoiler Okay, spoilert you haven't played a

(21:51):
Bohalla, you've a skipped forward.Yeah, So at the end of About
Hollo, you find out that Bostomis basically low key and he through a
back doorway, got to escape fromthe Viking time that he was living in.
Now he's in now times, inthe present, and that's I guess
that's why they're based in the mancharred on him because now he actually we

(22:12):
go to the animus, he's reliving his life in that life of my
ancestor h So, okay, spoileris over. I gotta get off now.
But I guess that's why they basicallygame him because it is an intriguing
story. But he he did ablor so wrong in that game. And
yeah, and like I didn't completecomplete Valhalla, and I got I've known

(22:34):
about it, and Kevin's talked tospoiled me so much about it. But
no, you're fine. I thinkthis is Ubisov saying, well, like
you said, anim stuff like that. But also, you know, we
gotta see how we gave him thevillain villain and how he realized all this
stuff all along at the same time, we know this is the back to
basics kind of Assassin's Creed where they'regoing back to the I guess the last

(22:57):
one that kind of was like thatwas not Brotherhood, but three maybe maybe
three three kind of pushed it alittle bit open worldly, maybe Unity too.
He was kind of based in onecity, but it was still like
that old school. It wasn't untilOrigins was basically Origins and which was three
came out in like the same spanof time. That's the same similar game

(23:18):
mechanics and similar world design. That'swhy when when they branched off from like
you're in a city blah blah blah, you're in an entire country and you
can go wherever you want. Yeah. Now, interestingly enough, this is
also not really I think for me, when I saw this, I was
like, oh not because it's gonegold and they want to help celebrate fans
and all that stuff. It's becauseit's trying to get its shine in a

(23:41):
busy October that's coming out this yearfor video games. We talked about it,
I think last week on the podcast, but in October. Originally this
game was supposed to come out Octobertwelfth, Papa Hood's birthday. It would
have had to deal with and contendwith Forts and Motorsport coming out on the
tenth, Alan two on the seventeenth, Spider Man two, and Super Mario

(24:03):
Wonders on the twentieth. So thisfairly puts it above all that before that.
So in case you want to getyour sass to creed in, you
know, it's a smaller story.You've got six days to play before any
other big game comes out. Andalso by putting it in October fifth,
the only game that comes out beforeit, at least that we drafted on
our list is Mortal Kombat one onthe nineteenth. Starfield obviously on the sixth,

(24:26):
so by then you would figure peopleeither gonna make or break with Starfield
by then. Wasn't there a gamethat came out after Star Wars get A
Survivor the big this year. Ohyeah, I don't know. I don't
remember, so I'm wondering if thatstrategy is why they're doing this, because
when Star Wars was really big everywherefor a while, and then I can't

(24:47):
remember what game came out after it, and it kind of just kind of
slowly died down, but it definitelyhad this moment in the sun for like
a month or something. I can'tremember what game came out after. I
don't see it on top of mylist, but I mean, that wasn't
now because it feels like start JediSurvivor kind of what. Oh well,
technically Zelda Zelda is what you're thinkingof. What it was that it came

(25:10):
out and then you can make yourown tanks and battle bots and that was
it. Yeah, it's like allright, and well you and I are
still playing it, and I waslike, I gotta finish Survivor. I
can't, I can't code I gottacode switch on this to get into Tears
Kingdom, which is why I'm stillplaying it. Damn it. You good
time, but you I don't haveto send it at all. Jedi now
Here's of the Kingdom that's never gettingone hundred percent. Let's face it,

(25:32):
just be honest with myself right now. But really cool, really dope.
Kevin didn't get to play a weekearly, and I think that's perfect because,
let's face it, October for youis going to be Spider Man when
that game comes out, and nothingelse. Well maybe no, maybe I
have the same thing with games asyou do. Sometimes mine is more like

(25:55):
okay, Like I remember when Iactually bought the the second Mass Effect m
it took me a while to getto play it because I was I was
like, Queens will be awesome,but I don't want to I don't want
to go that. That's a thing. I have that same thing where it's
not I'm scared of the game,but I'm like I'm in one it kind
of intimidated but too like I gottabe in the right mood and the right

(26:18):
mindset for this game, which wasTears of the Kingdom Reside Evil for this
year is like I got getting aspooky frame of mind for this game.
I can't be like playing this willynilly me. It's got a war on
too. Man. The person wasso awesome. I want to go through
this to one so fast. Werelike, let me just wait a while
the start of my hard drive.I'll get to it eventually. And then
I got to it and I waslike, damn, it's great. No,

(26:41):
it's ober, but hey, it'scoming out, so get excited.
You know. We got through thefirst half of video games for the year.
Kind of a little bit of alull right now until our Mured Corps
comes out in two weeks and thenpicks back up again. Got Starfield,
Wall Combat, Batta Being Bada Boom. Here comes December. Yeah, I'm

(27:02):
gonna have to reactivate Shooting At.I can't because I don't have a series
X fears talking. Well, yeah, you're a little too late, as
our friend Jojoe would say, ButKevin, something that's never too late is
video games about the teenage mutant ninjaTurtles. They always are successful. Look

(27:23):
at Sharer's Revenge, which came outlast year. Well on the Near Horizon,
the next teenage mute in Turtle gameon coming out. We talked about
it about a month ago that itwas happening. We now know who's making
it because the studio behind Destroy AllHumans is making TMNT. The Last Ronan,

(27:45):
the video game that supposed to belike a God of War inspired type
game, right, Yes, wetalked about that God of War inspired,
so you'd assume cinematic not really openworld per se, have some open world
aspects to it at least, butgetting in that story kind of a Batman
game as well. This is veryexciting. I haven't I've read about this

(28:08):
comic. I haven't read anything aboutread anything in this comic yet. I'm
thinking right now I might wait untilthe game comes out, like well,
I mean, Kevin, I canjust give you right now because I own
it and I finished it this weekendon the road trip to Virginia Beach.
Here's the thing, though, LastRownan looks intimidating. It was it's a

(28:30):
quick read once you get into itbecause you're like super into it and like
it's comics. It's not a book, it's comic. You know. Look,
that's that's just that's that I didn'teven I was opened that up.
Baby. That's some spoilers right there, but you know, boom, but
I think cool move, great moveon the game. They kind of showed
a trailer that did technically spoil someof the of the of the book slashed

(28:55):
the game so maybe don't look toointo that, but pretty much thh you.
Nordic had their had their panel earlythis week kind of announcing games coming
out. They announced this will bepart of it, studio behind it will
be do find it. We're notokay, no, they didn't even announce
the studio. Okay, alright,cool, destroy all human studio. It's

(29:18):
behind it as our cold did notgive me the details I needed. Interestingly
enough in this in case you missedit, it's one turtle. I think
I'll tell you who the turtle is. Who is the last of the teenage
mutant ninja turtles? You find outhow, you find out why, you
find out what their mission is.And it's really good game. I think.
I don't know if they are makinga sequel book, which we talked

(29:41):
about that they announced it as soonas I bought it at Comic Con this
year, but it is a fungame, and I think it'll be interesting
where it what it does with thevideo game, because there are definitely level
parts of this book. But itcould be kind of take you back and
be like whoa wait, who amI playing? Wait? Oh? But
I was used to playing as thisthis is taking me a step back sort

(30:03):
of just des right, it's BlackForce Games, Okay. Cool. Yeah,
it's a very bottom of the article, that's like the top thing,
you what the hell? But Ifeel like that could work because I'm even
God of War. There are timeswhere you play as a Trays. There
are times that you play as Valkyrieor somebody else. Do you play as
too? I can't remember who itwas, but it kind of it kind

(30:26):
of goes back and forth, butit doesn't really mess with the overall narrative
of the game. So I couldsee maybe even an aspect of the other
game where you actually are playing asyou know, the old school Turtles.
I'd be kind of cool too.Yeah, it is a sad story,
I will say that, so preparefor the tears. But I think it's
cool. I think, if anything, it kind of kept. I mean,
it's whoever owns Teenage Ninja Turtles Corporately, Paramount or whatever capitalizing on you

(30:52):
know, Mute Mayhem coming out,which we'll talk about in a second,
and like, all right, cool, you had this coming out. We
have the show coming out for TeenageRutinja Turtles, we have a sequel and
have this as the video game.So it's Turtlemania again. Allah twenty almost
thirty years ago. Now, Imean, like I said, I've said
a bunch of times, this isthe only franchise that continues just to like,
you know what, new generation ofkids. We love turtles too.

(31:14):
We love turtles too. And look, I mean the guy I like Turtles,
that man is like twenty something now, so let that let that date
you. That mean that they usedto market this movie. I mean,
Turtles, Turtles are great, man. I don't know why no other reptile
has like battle toes didn't do whatturtles did, but Turtles did it.
Turtle did it. But what Turtlesdidn't do be successful at the box office

(31:37):
because unfortunately, we talked about howmuch I loved it, we talked about
how much critics loved it. TeenageMutant Ninja Turtles Muting Mayhem had the same
fate as Into the Spider Verse manymoons ago, because it didn't do so
hot the box office. So it'sopening box office weekend, Yeah, seventy
two million domestic, twenty one millionin our national, mounting to ninety four

(32:00):
point six million total. M notgreat, not great, not great.
Obviously we've been in this summer ofBarbenheimer, really Barbie in Oppenheimer. It's
funny it was, it's no Barbieand Oppenheimer, not Barbenheimer anymore. Kind
of leading in the front way forthe box office. We're gonna do this
on Thursday's episode of What is theSummer box Office? So Far? In

(32:23):
every movie, because it feels likeGuardians was doing good, then Spider Verse
did good, then we heard nothing, and then Barbie popped out of nowhere,
and then you know, it passeda Billy and all that good stuff.
Probably it's gonna be the top grossingfilm of the summer. And which
is another thing, was crazy Eppenheimer'smade six fifty and that's amazing because it's
a three hour movie with no actionuntil the bomb comes in and then it's

(32:46):
gone a good and that's it.That's all. That's the action. There's
no punch, there's no hi yahs, no, it's just people talking.
But interestingly enough, go see itstill even though if you see old box
Office didn't do great, it's reallygood. I think it has. It's
gonna have the into the Spider Verseeffect where people kind of one they're like,
I need a break for the movies. I saw too many movies this

(33:07):
summer, which let's face it,we all did, and like, well,
it's animated. I think put someshine on it. I think this
adds another spectrum to animation, kindof being retooled, of not being cookie
cutter Pixar anymore, which is dopefor the medium. Yeah, I feel
like the animated crutched. And Idon't think ana many movies. I think

(33:29):
that's something that needs to die becausethere's so many good animation products out there.
There aren't aren't all children, aren'tall adult that there is some really
really really good animated features out there, and say, I don't watch animated
thing, an't miss it now.I don't tell you, but you know
you're not gonna miss out on Kevinbecause it comes out this week Blue Beetle.

(33:51):
I didn't know what to say forthat. Blue Beetle comes out this
week. We will be doing ourBlue Beetle in review on Thursday. We
kind of wait a little bit ofday so live recording of it on Thursday
get to hang out with us,so we talk about it to a non
spoiler part of the movie and spoilers. It's predicted to have the lowest opening
weekend for a dc movie for thirtymillion dollars at the box office. But

(34:13):
Kevin, we don't really care.We know where we're going. When we're
gonna go see Blue Beetle. Iwant to talk about what do you think
is gonna happen in this movie?Mainly the end of this movie? Where
are we going? Is? Howis this going to connect to the DCU
and the DCU going forward? Yeah, because James Gonna made us statement a
while ago, that's it. Well, Blue Beetle isn't a DCU movie.

(34:37):
The goddess I can't say his nameis Joelo Maarda. Yeah, thank you.
The guy who's playing Blue Beetle,it's going to be a DCU character.
I'm like, how, But he'sgonna Blue Beetle will be in the
DCU, which so alright cool?But is Zolomar duin it gonna be Blue
Beetle. You're gonna make him somethingdifferent something like that, so obviously we

(34:58):
know that's happening. Does that meanyou shed everything that was established in this
movie or do you just kind ofretool it and say, well, we
liked this bit, we didn't likethat bit. It's gonna be something of
him, like, I don't know, what's that portal here? Oh my
gosh, I'm in the New World. My grandmother's my grandmother now, like
it's something way like that. Idon't know, but I'm looking forward to

(35:20):
seeing like a really good retelling ofblue beetles. Well, this blue beetles
origin what's his name? I can'tremember his name of this blue beetle Hi
many him? Thank you? Yeah, because there was Ted Chord. It's
HAMI rays. So I looking tosee it for to see what that see
some more blue beetle lord with TedChord if he's not even mentioned in the
movie. But I do think thisis going to be kind of like a

(35:45):
a fast and furious type thing,whereas there's a lot of mentions of family,
family, because I mean, wesee Grandma getting the big old gun
and trip great. I don't careanybody's this. I think. I think
luckily like this because look at Shazam. Shazam kind of just like he was
in the DCU EU, but notreally. It kind of just was his
own thing. I'm glad that atleast James is gonna saying, well,

(36:07):
we're bringing in blue Beetle you know, like it's not like it's he's on
his own. Obviously we don't knowwhat the hell is happening with Aquaman.
That prediction right here, Kevin,we will not get the trailer for Aquaman
with this movie. I can.I can go with that because I don't
think Aquaman's coming out this year.If it's because basically there are no movies

(36:32):
coming out next year besides like maybethree or four in the first quarter,
first quarter, maybe a second quarter, but after that, nothing's getting made
right now. Now, now here'sthe thing, because if Shark Week or
sorry, oh actually that leads mywide didn't happen. If we had Aquaman
two coming out this year, wewould have gotten the trailer during Shark Week
because one Jason Moe hosted it,hosted it. Discovery owns Shark Week and

(36:54):
it's on Discovery Channel, and twoShark Week makes sense for Queman, so
it would have been like two weeksbefore then he put the trailer on Blue
Blue Beetle. That was probably theplan before everybody saw the striking. Yeah,
true, it's true, that probablywas a plan. But like everything
I've heard about Aquaman isn't good,So I feel like they also want to

(37:16):
banning it off. Take this lostreal quick, do you know what I
mean? Yeah? All right,So I got a couple more questions for
predictions. Wise, will George Lopezlive to see the end of the movie.
I want to say yes, becauseGeorge Lopez is reaching to the point
of like, you know, becauseeverybody's dad, because we all woke up
to his show one to Come NakedNight during the summer time we were kids,

(37:37):
Rat kick kick you, everybody's granddaddexactly. Now, on top of
that, and credit scenes, weknow pretty much everybody Superhero movie has at
least one end credit scene. Kevin, how many you think Blue Beetle is
gonna have? One would have beenreal and one joke. So I think

(38:00):
you're right as well. Also,you are right because they confirmed by the
direct thanks to an early screening BlueBeetle there are two end credit scenes.
Oh well, I just guessed that. I don't even there, you go.
I looked it up just for tobe informative. Now, Kevin,
two end credit scenes. You said, one real, one joke, Now
the real one. Are you teaninginto the DCU or is it gonna say,

(38:21):
Well, here's something to te offDCU that you don't care about anymore.
No, it's it's gonna be it'sgonna be something involving like The Flash
and Wonder Woman that's not up endup mattering anyway, because we're not getting
those movies. Oh, it's justgonna be, Oh, what could have
been? Just Wonder Woman. We'rethat way. Wonder Woman has been in

(38:42):
every DCU movie since, like JusticeLeague happened. By the way, did
you see that they're denying that they'renot making the Going to Woman three?
Yeah, that's the whole thing ofapparently Wonder Woman three isn't actually happening.
Just waiting on James Gunn Today toDay Confirment on tex So we all know,
but go to X now, JamesGunn, we need we need news

(39:04):
stories. Uh. And then Kevin, you're My final question about your predictions
is are you going to enjoy thismovie. I'm going to enjoy I've kind
of going to love the character becauseI'm young Justice and reading a lot of
his backstory. And then there wasa tech cord on the Flat four episode.
I think there was, yes,I mean technically yeah, yeah,

(39:24):
you're right. I was gonna seethe Adam I was like that's different.
That's different. Yeah, yeah,I mean it's kind of the same thing
though because Adam, but he hadlike a typology a little bit. Yeah,
but I'm looking forward to just toseeing this character get his shine on
the big screen. And also there'snot many Latino superheroes, so I'm happy
that they're getting some, even eventhe more he wasn't a hero. He

(39:45):
was a bad guy, so thatwas like there been there been many heroes
on screen. So representation is reallycool in this to see, uh,
you know, because this could havebeen if wonderful, the trans could have
been a kind of like shun Chi, everybody like, oh my gosh,
it's great and I've been a celebrationjust gonna be a movie that comes out.
Yeah, And I feel like alsoit's like it's coming out that there's
not a lot of famously we havea strike and everything. There's not a

(40:07):
lot of fanfare for this movie comingout. I mean there has been for
I mean Barbenheimer, I think wasthe most fanfared movie this summer, but
like, yeah, there isn't reallyanything forward for that right now, and
that like that movie and Trays Ithink are both coming out this week.
And you wouldn't know they were bothgoing out this week. Unfortunately, Crazy

(40:28):
is definitely the summer from the WriterStrike because you need it. You know,
Will Furrow and Jamie Foxx and everybodyelse is in that movie on Kimmel
on foulon, goofing off doing stuff. Yeah, and they're not interacting.
They can't do it. So thatmovie is going to fail spectacularly just because
of that. Man, it's unfortunate. And any drug on the chat which
you can also come in the chatinfinite underscore pods on the twitch dot tv

(40:51):
said Kimmy convinced WB to give usBatgirl instead of Aqua. Man. We
all want that to happen, butit's weird, is let's face it.
We got to Snyder cut. Apparentlywe're supposed to be getting the David Ayer
cut soon. It feels like therumblings have been there that that's going to
happen eventually too. For the originalSuicide Squad movie. Give us Backgirl at

(41:13):
that rate, If you're going togive us two cuts of movies, we
didn't really want to see the othercuts off. Actually read a leak plot
description on Twitter. It was likea whole long thread if it was true
the movie wouldn't have made a billiondollars, but I don't think i'd been
seen anything worse than what she Zamdid. Yeah, well what Black Adam
did. Unfortunately, we'll never seethat movie. No, not even because

(41:37):
they don't want us to see it. They legally now can't even release it
like they release it, don't getthe government consume not like I mean,
but don't you kind of want tosee that? Though? At the same
time, it was just like someintern at W Warner Discovery, like hit
the button that let Backgirl loose onMax Hell broke loose that Warnered Discovery.

(41:58):
I honestly I want to read toread description. It sounded like Brendan Fridge
did a really good job of playingFirefly. But again, unfortunately, because
of the law, the law willnever But speaking of the law, I
am the law man dreaded. Maybethat's another one we do the original one?
Oh you do both? That wouldbe good, the the Slice,

(42:21):
the Lone one and the Carl Urbanone. See which one's better? Was
really good? I never saw Iheard it was actually pretty good. It's
really good. I liked it alot, but you know what you well,
Kevin really liked a lot that maybeyou also liked a lot because you
watched it with us. Star Kidfrom nineteen ninety eight a Trymark Pictures movie,

(42:42):
which Trymark Pictures does not exist anymore. So let that tell you well,
the vision of like a bigger studiokind of like Mayor Maxwell, Disney,
Lions lions Gate says, it's whatwhat its successor was. I'm assuming
Lions came out of it or boughtit. I don't really know, but
try Mark Studio that made it.Directed by Manny Koto or kato He,

(43:07):
who is known for being the executiveproducer and shore runner of Star Trek Enterprise
in its final season. That's prettymuch it claimed to fame on. Oh
he made Doctor Giggles ninety two.Oh, this man directed zen On the
zequel. That makes so much moresense now is a legend. Yesterday she

(43:30):
did an episode of American Horror Stories. This man had a life to go
from ze On the zequel to dothat, and on a budget of twelve
million, this movie made seven yep. And that's the nineties for you,
baby. But it's so weird,Like when we're gonna talk about this movie
at largeness to plot of all thatstuff is that the movie was originally going
to be called The Warrior of WaverleyStreet, which, just as much as

(43:52):
Star Kid doesn't make sense for thename of this movie. But we're talking
about this movie because it is essentiallythe plot of Blue Beetle. Uh yeah,
it's it's Blue Beetle, but fromthirty years ago beat with the nineties
tin on it. Yeah, Imean, that's what I mean. And
Blue Beetles kind of got like aknee on Miami Vice tint on it right

(44:14):
now. So what are you gonnado? Interesting enough, try I'll say
that for an East egg I found. The film stars Joseph Mazzello as Spencer
Griffith, who Kevin is most notablyfamous for. What He's the kid that
got shocked off the Fifth Jurassic Park. You're wrong there, Kevin, because
he's actually more famous for something elseinstead. Oh really, he was in

(44:38):
two other movies, Gi Joe Retaliationand Bohemian Rapsody that came out three years
ago. He was a Bohemian resting. Yeah, he was the bass player
for Queen apparently in the background.So this man, you thought, oh,
he did nothing after the Star Kidin Jurassic Park. Nah. Fam,
he's still making movies. That's likethe the kid from Hook, Rob

(45:01):
Williams's son. Huh. I don'tknow if you ever saw the movie one
of the Lawrence Brothers. No,it wasn't Lawrence Brotherns. Somebody, Oh,
yeah, you're right, you're right. Yes, I think it Misses
Dowtfire. That's what I was thinking. He was in a movie with Jeffer
Love Hewitt. I'm like, whatthe heck were you doing here? Kids,
Charlie can course, No, hewas in Can't Hardly Wait. That's
what it was. Yeah, hehad no legs. That's what it is.

(45:27):
But Kevin, what do you thinkabout Star Kid rewatching it for the
first time, at least as anadult. Uh? My first thought was
because the opening scene, of course, because it's the nineties, was a
kid being bullied because he's a littledifferent. Here's Spencer, He's bullied.
He also has trouble at it.Oh well, his mom's dead exactly every
nineties movie. But as a kidwho was bullied in the nineties, I

(45:51):
kind of I think that's why Ikind of adapted to it when I was
a kid, like, yeah,I kill everybody. But but through through
about nineties kid eyes. I wasjust like, this is great, Like,
you know, they walked through thecorner to get ice cream, as
what eleven twelve year olds. Nobodydon't do that now, No, no,
no, I'll stay with you.I'm not going to drop you off

(46:14):
and leave kids. Kids. Thendidn't watch Halloween and didn't realize Halloween's about
intruders and dakers taking people. Therewas a kid that who does infatuated with
the girl. She just likes her. There's no way she loves comic books.
And this is ahead of its timefor the nineties. For the nineties
to to day, you have ayou have a teacher who's only involved in
her students life made two involved,someone would say, and also she owns

(46:37):
it. We'll get to that.Hold on, I put instead of taking
notes for us plot wise, Itook grievances of like, this doesn't make
sense anymore. Half way through themovie, Oh and drug, I'm tested
also in the social network. Ididn't know that anymore. All right,
there you go, But yeah,I remember liking this movie watching it today.

(46:59):
I watched it yesterday this podcast recording. I was like, this is
all right, but it is interestingMy main thing from it was that the
nineties and early two thousands were filledwith these kid first movies where the kid
is the hero. It's about everythinggoing on the kid. I'm thinking snow
Day. I'm thinking like later movieslike Max Keble's Big Move, any Disney

(47:21):
movie, blank Check, stuff likeKid President, Kid President's also good,
Don't Sleep and also what I Gota Date with the President's Daughter, which
also yeah, will Fordell, wherereally like the kids are the heroes and
it's really on that. And Ifeel like we like those movies don't work
anymore. We either have animated moviesor superhero movies. We don't have anything

(47:45):
where it's like the kids are savingthe day, they're saving the neighborhood.
Those are just like the directed DisneyPlus or Netflix movies that happen well,
it kind of becomes serious now.I mean, Stranger Things kind of very
very kid based. Besides a coupleof characters, you know, just people
getting split in half because Vecno broughtupside down in the real world, you
know, but even Cork is kindof kids centric a little bit, but

(48:05):
they're still using the characters from theeighties movies. Yet I feel those those
kids first movies from night Like Isaid ninety two thousand, come just become
serious now. So you're saying youwant a star kid TV show? Is
what you want? The continuation ofwhat happened at the end of this movie.
Honestly, I have to watch themovie. This should have been a
d com. It feels like ad com. That's the thing. Like
I'm thinking, like Can of Worms, that's like the same error of this

(48:28):
one. And obviously know Zeno onthe z equal same director, but like
it makes sense now we need todo a Xenon Xenon trilogy review one day.
I mean, I'm not mad morereplaced me. If you want instead,
I'll watch him still, but she'dprobably get kicked out of it more
than I would. All Right,well, let's get on a movie.
Getting a plot from my analysis ofit. We kick off with the credits,

(48:52):
a mystical whimsy intro I said,kind of like who getting some chimes?
What world are we about to gointo? It's a typical nineties movie
intro Alien letters for the credits,which was cool, but you're like,
what are these alien letters? Idon't know these alien letters? Uh?
And then we find out like Isaid, we said, Trimark Studio.

(49:12):
You'll find out what they also make, because it is an integral part of
this movie that if you paid attentionto you caught on. If not,
don't worry, I got you.We got you. But we kick off
pretty much. We start with aliengliders coming out of this weird alien fish
ship coming out of it's it's asshole, essentially to attack planet Tis. Which,

(49:37):
oh, that that's what the sightsounds like, Leonard. Uh,
it's weird because it's kind of likea Superman origin story where a trokis is
being attacked, you know, signof Superman. The planet blows up,
but it is like literally the momand the dad trying to get their their
creation off planet. It literally lookslike the ship from Superman they typically do

(49:58):
of like we gotta get them offplanet. And then at the luck of
the draw and they get him outof there and it gets hit by a
rock and lands on Earth and inthis sense, not Kansas, but whatever
city this was that we'll get toin a little bit. Honestly similar opening
scene. Also, I realized it'slike Transformers instead of instead of a cube,
it was a suit. I saidthis immediately, and I said this.

(50:20):
I know, I said this multipletimes in my notes. Where did
they get this bad guy these badguys as suits? Because it's way too
bulky and I feel like every ninetiesalien or monster looked like this in every
the movie and TV show. Yeahit was. It was definitely at the
above all. If you want togive this movie any like a kudos,
I guess the costume and pupper Treewas really good. I thought, yeah.

(50:45):
But then they transitioned to Marbles.Cool transition, I said, when
they were looking at the planet SolarSystem to Marbles, and it's like it
is nineties. Marbles were thing backthen, not today anymore. Quick question
for you. You know how toplay Marbles? I know how to play
that game where you gotta get themarbles home. I know how to play
that. Okay. I remember asa kid watching the cartoon they have like

(51:05):
a circle on a girl. Yeahno, do that, famly, how
do you play Marble? It's likePOGs. I don't know what that is.
But we find out Spencer is thename character's name. He's he's your
nerdy character, but you know he'snot the typical nerd. He just likes
comic books like keV said he hasa crush on a girl that he can
never get close to because she's oneof the popular girls. But it also

(51:27):
turns out, like every nineties andtwo thousands childhood movie, Spencer's got a
bully, and that bully has atypical name. His name's Manfred. The
funny thing is too about this kid. This kid played a bully in so
many different movies. He was abullying little giants as well. Oh no,
that makes sense. They called hisreal name is Manfred. They called
him Turbo sometimes. But I waslike, I kept thinking, every time

(51:51):
Turbo Power, it's Turbo Man,Turbo time. But he says the line
you are usda choice meat typical nightthese kid movie of like doing some stupid
line that sticks for the end ofthe time. Pretty much, Spencer avoids
getting beat up. I'm kind ofgoing through the pot a little bit there
by terrible before the teacher interrupts.Teacher played by Karin bore Is she's the

(52:16):
mom from a fan of the Megaplex. If you've seen her before, Yep,
she's definitely a d com standoff.Yes, she's also if you're a
fan of the og Flash movie,she's Prank aka the trickster. Mark Hampbell's
character from that his Harley Quinn.She popped up in an episode of The
Modern Flash as the Tricksters like uh, trickster juniors like mom, which was

(52:42):
cool. It was also an underreps t com movies, but let's let's
face it, fan of Megaplex waswhere it was a not under wraps,
come on. It was okay,you're right, it was okay, but
it was fan on though it wasnot fan fan Megaflex iconic got us into
movies. Baby interesting enough, kindsaid this Spencer imagine had weird scene where
he imagined his crushed liking comics.Turns out she does, so I don't

(53:04):
know why we had to imagine sheliked comics because she didn't. I like
that one day. It's more commonthough, because I mean mcqu isn' probably
just for kids, it's probably forall everybody. Yes, Interestly enough,
they have Midnight Warrior, which isthe fake comic book hero they made up,
but in like ten minutes from theplot, they have a bunch of
Marvel heroes, So I don't knowwhy they just didn't go all in with
the Marvel stuff like that. MidnightWarriors actually pretty pretty cool to me,

(53:29):
but it also confused me, Likethis would easily confuse me if that was
a comic because it's spelled m idk n i ght and not normal midnight
or nick at night midnight, SoI'm like, what the hell is that?
Don't I spell this damn word fora spelling beat. He's the midnight
Yes, we find out. Eventuallyschool ends. They have a class lesson

(53:49):
about moths, which was interesting.I guess do get Ben and Jerry's product
placement Because Spencer's crushing her friends aregetting Ben and Jerry's. He's trying to
get the courage to talk to her, he doesn't. In the meantime,
Turbo catches up to him pursues himlike any typical bully movie and the Kids
and any kids movie with a bully. Spencer hides into trash cam. He

(54:09):
smells his dad picks him up.Turns out Spencer has problems at home because
his dad is always on the phone, which is typical of the Sarra movie.
He's business with business. He's busywith business all the time, and
he has his business phone in hiscar and he just gt do the deal,
can get the boss down and Idon't know, but he's busy.

(54:32):
And then we cut to their housewhere it turns out Spencer has an older
sister who's annoyed by her brother andhas to babysit him on a date,
which is every typical nineties movie ofhaving the older sister has the babysit has
a date looking at you, mom'sgot to take with a vampire. And
again why I love this movie becauseI was I was a younger brother,

(54:54):
So can we get him a nervesdidn't I didn't do anything. I'm a
normal child. I can't feed myself. We then cut the Spencer going in
his room. Turns out this wasthe thing. He had a green Goblin
statue. He had a Hulk Hulkand Thing poster and statues as well mister

(55:14):
Sinister toy and X Men poster,so like he had all that by the
way, yeah, like he hadall the marble stuff. Why did we
make up a hero just but makeit like Captain America or something dead?
Actually at that point, marbles hemorrhergingmoney. It probably would. It would
love to be mentioned in the movie. I know, like, like I
got the toy rights, they couldhave gone one that extra Eventually we cut

(55:34):
the nightfall. Spencer is the onlyone to see a meteor fall. Turns
out it is the cybersuit ak SIcoming from planets. Uh, the ship
lands in the junkyard that Manfred andhis parents own. Turns out ship lands
perfectly on how exactly how it landed, but downfall, I don't know how
because it got hit by rock too. But hey, it is what it

(55:58):
is. They have advanced alien technology. Did where the rocket always lands?
Right? Yes, and it's asuper suit that's not designed for independent motion.
We find out the suit is kindof senty and essentially do you require
transport, it says to Spencer.Spencer says, okay, require transport.
And I remember this, this suithaving just the yucky enterds, like as
a kid, like, oh,this is disgusting. What's inside the suit?

(56:22):
Very very squishy and also very awkwardagain watching us through adult eyes,
when yes, yeah, I needtransport. So he proceeds to turn around
and bent over from him. Yeahwhat is that? A fun fact about
this is that the kid Spencer,the actor who plays him, was never
suited up as Star Kid. Itwas a stunt double the entire time,

(56:43):
so they kind of iron manned himwhere they put a sheet over his head
and pretended he was in the actualsuit. One could say he was the
first one to do this before beforeRobert down June trimark, you were onto
something exactly. I also made pointingthis out size hands looked like spot hands
where they're kind of vad but Spencer'shands go in there. So was he

(57:04):
he vied like this the whole timehe was in the suit? I get
even that'll maybe he like he grabbedlike something like that and I don't know.
Yeah, sure, okay, hSpencer. Spencer says when he's in
the suit, I'm Shaquille O'Neil.Dates the movie. That's when Shaquille O'Neil
is playing basketball, So I'll enjoythat. Yeah, and I've been pre
Lakers actually. Also fun fact,Arthur Burghardt is the voice of the Size

(57:29):
Suit. You might know him famouslyas what Kevin Actually hold on? Look,
I didn't know who he was.Actually, I got you don't worry
Devastator from the Transformers movies, theog Transformers movies and shows. Devastator.
Uh turns out like you said,Manfred's dad owns the Junkyard Crystal Bluff is

(57:49):
the city. We find out eventually, and this is a weird line,
very of its time, that shouldnot be in this movie. Who should
I abuse next? Is not theline to use in any movie. Why
would you say that in a movie? Yeah, this movie made a lot
of decisions that you can tell.Well, it was the nineties. Yeah,
uh so the alien SI in Spencerprank Manfred and his dad's like corvette

(58:15):
he was working on. They messwith him, they scare him, he
freaks out, typical bully revenge.But we cut back to the sister.
Turns out she's watching a movie Kevinwhile talking to her boyfriend Kevin, who's
played by an actor we're not goingto talk about because he is a douche
and the worst type of person ever. Yeah, and this movie didn't put

(58:35):
him in a good light. Ohshe stops coming here. Yeah, But
turns out while she's talking Kevin,her boyfriend, she's watching a movie starring
one war Warwick Davis. I'm aLeprican, He's She's watching leprecn which is
a trick Bark Pictures movie. It'sthe same studio. I was like,

(58:55):
they obviously played. I was like, I knew they're playing this movie because
that in a was right, they'vegot a Diet Coke product placement. Because
we cut to the Crystal Bluff CountyFair that's taken place, you know,
in October whatever. We find outthe girl Spencer has a crush on.
They want to go on the Rockof Worlds. And let me tell you
though, the ride that is theactual Rocket World at this County Fair hurts

(59:19):
like a mother if you've been onthat ride and you're like, oh my
back. And that was as achild. I made a comm's effort because
I was maybe like fifteen. Iwas like, okay, I am no
longer riding rods at the fair.They are just thrown around the country way
to really to believe they're safe tobe rotting up. And you're right,
and let's it's the ferrest wheel orlike a gentle I don't know, merry

(59:42):
go around not getting to ride.But we find out Spencer and Si are
trying to find Spencer's crush. Theyfind her in the Rock World, but
while doing this, Si has amalfunction and he kind of shoots off rockets
willy nilly off his arm cannon.Eventually they hit the Rocket World and this
is where they rescue Spencer's crush whilealso one of her friends takes a photo

(01:00:08):
that that friend was a very badstereotyped I don't even want to mention because
it's just bad and shouldn't have happenedin the nineties of whatever exactly, And
this is ninety seven, it's notninety two. Yeah, it's ninety seven.
Yeah, find out science Spencer escapingthe cops using rocket powered skates very

(01:00:30):
of its time, of the nineties, of rocket powered skates being the coolest
thing you could do. Si says, I'm a prototype, you know,
and Spencer goes, you know,nothing could go wrong, what could be
better than this? And obviously typicalnineties movie. That's where the villain gets
introduced. It comes to bet monsterfrom space. It turns out it's just
a pizza man who's eating his pizzaon the road instead of delivering it.

(01:00:52):
This is when the brood gonna,I'll get there, but he has the
perfect pizza stain. It literally isthe two Pepperoni's going right on his pizza,
on his shirt from his pizza.And it turns out the villain has
landed and he used them some kindof weird I guess I don't know.
Dragonfly to trek Moth. It isthe brood Warrior Usurper drone. Yep,

(01:01:17):
remember that because that was probably tosell toys. Eventually we find out Spencer
inside having this heart to heart SpencerSI asked, you know, where's your
mom? Spencer says, she's dead. Cool thing iss size connected to Spencer
through his like cerebral cortex, hisneural interface, whatever. So he plays
a memory of Spencer's mom to him. My thought during this the entire time,

(01:01:39):
Yeah, I know, heartfelt.Most heartfelt scene is did this mom?
The actress who played her get paida lot because she had a visual
role but no speaking role at all. I wanted to that about movies that
don't always to pick like, youknow, passed on parents. Like when
I go through like the photo albumand see the picture of the father of
the mother. How abou was theactor get paid to take one picture?

(01:02:00):
What people are gonna be in themovie? Never seen from While this is
going on, we also see signedSpencer. They also go to the local
burger Johnt Burger joint. They gettypical nineties movie of ay I want to
order burger fries and a shake butwhile the beause the workers back is turned,

(01:02:20):
take it away from them and sayan iou typical movie. It's all
good. While this is going on, Yeah, it's not gonna work.
In twenty twenty three, we findout they do eventually go home. We
find out Spencer can't take off thesuit until the mission is completed. The
mission is to test the suit ina battle scenario, which they don't know
the villain exists yet. So that'swhy Side completely destroy Spencer's house completely everywhere,

(01:02:45):
everything inside of it. Mind you, this is because they're going back
home to get pizza, because itturns out the only way for Sid to
give food to Spencer is for himto eat it, blend it up and
present it alaha poop, which reallylooked like a Reese's peanut butter egg if
you think about it, the fourby the twin what moves awkward? Eat

(01:03:08):
you elite it and Spencer eat it. It was a whole guns Also,
I've noticed it was four dollars andsixteen cents for burgers, fries and a
shake. Can't we go back tothose times? Have you looked up the
price of a happy meal when wewere kids? It is sickening to pay
for a happy meal when I wrotenine plas have ninety nine cents when I

(01:03:29):
was a kid, to give mehappy. But Spencer essentially, once gall
the suit, he has to goto the bathroom, can't figure it out.
He decides, well, my biologyteacher obviously know how to get out.
This scenario goes to science teachers andthe bio teacher Cheese grading papers,
watching Lost in Space Danger Will Robinson, you know, the robot from it.

(01:03:52):
Uh. Turns out this single teacherwho lives by herself and teaches middle
school science can afford a two bedroom, a two story house back in the
nineties. Baby, you gars arepaid well now back down then. But
whatever it's got from parents, Idon't know. Then we find out,

(01:04:15):
you know, they're the teacher youhave the typical Oh, she faints,
she not knows what's going on withscience. Spencer she comes to she becomes
essentially the tech person for the suit. Let's Spencer in the bathroom ball.
All this is happening, the broodWarrior Usurper drone has caught up to Spencer
and Ci. They have a fight. Doesn't go good for Sci, and
Spencer kind of knocks out the lasercannon they've been using for the majority of

(01:04:38):
the movie, I think for therest of the movie. Right after this,
yeah, that does work. Nomore. Okay, okay, we're
down shooting bulls at the arm moneyfor that. It's broken. But eventually
we find out they run away,which is wild that they just run away
from the house while the brood Warriorsjust chilling with the bio teacher in the
background. It was like, yeah, at this teacher, sure she can

(01:05:00):
figure it out. It'll be fine, should be fine, You'll figure it
out. But eventually Spencer Si Spencerkind of loop polls his way out of
getting out of the suit, runshome, realizes this isn't what he wants.
He really needs to be in thesuit, and helps the suit get
home complete its mission. It's goingto be attacked by the brood Warrior.
Meanwhile, while the office is goingon, they can't find Spencer. The

(01:05:21):
mother, the mother and the sisterand the father that going crazy, and
he walks in spouting again not hismovie. Yes, there's a big war
coming and they're coming from space andwe're gonna be we gotta get back out
there. We gotta tell somebody.But DA's like, yeah, okay whatever.
Eventually Spencer figures out I'm gonna gofind side, but not before running

(01:05:43):
into Turbo, who the bully becomeshis friend and they become best buds.
By the way, there was ascene with Turbo after they destroyed that car
he was in. He's flipping aroundall the stuff where you hear his dad
mentioned the same phrase that he mentionedhis in an early movie. Because the
kids usda choice didn't meet. Andthen my again, my I was like

(01:06:04):
turb getting abuse at home. Imean, bully. Every bully has a
bully. Let's exactly. I hopeit's that. I think it was his
father, which is very sad,very sad. They eventually find out Size
being taken by the brood Warrior backto the junkyard because for some reason that
makes sense go back to the junkyard. I don't know why. Eventually
they decide that Turbo's gonna distract thebrood Warrior while Spencer gets in the soup.

(01:06:28):
This happens. I don't know howTurbo didn't die at all from this
alien, but this alien just pullingthings left and right off its body that
becomes bioorganic weapons, which also wasof its time of late nineties, everything
being bio organic. I'm moving thatway kinda. You know, you can
get bioorganic stuff now like you knowthis, this is kind of bio organic.
Might I have a watch? Iguess not like how it was in

(01:06:51):
the nineties looking at you. Whatwas that DNA movie? But what was
that jud Jude Law DNA movie?Oh no, no, dude, successful
gatica that's what it was. Itwas called Oh yeah, I'm a Gantica.
Yeah, I watched it in scienceclass, have to we learn about
DNA and it was not related atall the movie. But essentially we find

(01:07:15):
out this is going on Spencer's teacher. Yeah, she's found the dad and
his sister, and it seems likethe dad and the teacher got something going
on. But it's just the thing. They think. The teacher's crazy.
Mind you you would too if yourteacher came up to you saying, I
saw this bloody blah that your sondid with where's my son? That's the

(01:07:35):
most important thing. Why was heextra home after hours? Yeah? It's
really weird. But essentially we findout brood Warrior grew a ship. I
had this question was during this becauseit really focused on the brood Warrior.
Is was the brood Warrior blind orhave eyes? Turns out he had sort
of daredevil vision that was monochromatic.Yeah, I'm thinking they based him on

(01:07:57):
a bet because he had very betlike ears. Where to kind of like
we're shaped out in cone for itand we're moving. I guess he used
my echolocation to find he's whenever hewas hunting. Yeah, I guess.
But it turns out BREWD Warriors gettingthe upper hand even with Spencer in SI
inside SI. Eventually SI force ejectSpencer before going completely offline. SI hides

(01:08:18):
him just so he's protected. Whiledoing so, he gets the BREWD Warrior
to chase after himself. They gointo what appears to be is a random
room, but no, it's anice cream truck inside of a car press
machine, I guess is what youcould call it. Eventually, Spencer luckily
finds out there's there's a roof escapeto this ice cream truck gets out of

(01:08:42):
there the nick of time, butthe BREWD Warrior catches his foot. Spencer
gets out of there. BREWD Warriorcrushed turns into a cube, which I
remember distinctly from my childhood for somereason, still has the shoe perfectly in
hand, didn't get crushed at allwith the metal, and Spencer at some
point wasn't worked out because I don'tthink my eleven twelve year ols off could
listened myself through a window. It'sstuck there, like, all right,

(01:09:05):
well this is my fate. We'restuck here. Now the world is saved
because of me. I also puthere. Spencer's family runs real slow because
they like they've parked at this pointoutside the junkyard, but still have not
gotten Spencer and Turbo. Eventually,villain defeated. Turns out Spencer returns aside,

(01:09:26):
but appears they were too late tosave it. But not really Kevin,
because what happens that the Trucklist whatdo we call the charcolist Tenderest deathar
Ak Size Creator from the Techlist,Yeah, you're right. They beamed down
to Earth from their mothership and theyreactivate the suit and one of their speakers
gets in the suit and they thanksSpencer for doing what he did. Size

(01:09:49):
has one final goodbye, and beforethe general leaves, he get Spencer a
badge because he did a good jobfinding the fortune. He did a good
job. Turbo fu, you're abullet. Don't be bully no more.
I'm watching you, Spencer. Nexttime that they leave, the family just
accepts it because they get their rightwhen the little particle beam is leaving,

(01:10:12):
like, oh yeah, that obviouslywas the Aliens. Of course that was
Northern Light. Spencer. Don't tryto tell me a lot. But we
cut to the next day at schooland now Confidence Spencer, who's punched his
bully, made him his friend.And within one day. This is all
within one day, mind you.Yeah, it was like the end of
school on a Thursday and the nextday is Friday. It's just okay.

(01:10:35):
Now, Spencer, cool, confident, got a best friend, encouraged by
a turbo, starts a conversation withhis crush Michelle. They bond over Michelle
having the first issue of Midnight Manor whatever the hell Midnight Whatever was called
I remember anymore. It also turnsout all this is going on, there's

(01:10:56):
a subplot. Michelle's best friend verybad stereotype selling the photo she took of
Sigh as a T shirt, andit's a whole thing that we I don't
even want to talk about it.But I didn't give me a question though,
So she showed him that she hadthe first issue of Midnight Warrior of
Midnight Night, that's what it wascalled, Ellie Night. Yeah. Yeah,

(01:11:19):
if you had the first issue ofsay Superman one or spider Man one,
two of the most well thought aftercollectible comics in history. So you
say you ran up on it oneday in prison condition. Are you keeping
it? Are you selling it?I'm keeping it? Well, you know
what I mean? No, Kevin, mean, look at it. You

(01:11:42):
keep it for ten years, thenyou sell it. Okay, there's long
You've had some memories with it,you know, like I'll have memories with
this. Hopefully this comic be worthsomething one day. Superman one is worth
what now? And I'll look upSpider Man one worth Now there you go.
The other thing that that's not justgoing in the safe in my house.

(01:12:06):
That's going in one of those stifetydeposit boxes. As of right now.
The Spider Man, amazing Spider Mannumber one is worth if it's in
pristine and all that stuff. Threehundred and thirty six thousand dollars. Superman
is one so for two point sixmillion. Okay, Spider Man, get
on it's level. But that wasstar Kid Kevin, do you think any

(01:12:30):
of this is gonna happen in BlueBeetle, Because I feel like a lot
of it actually is gonna happen inBlue Beetle. I want to say no,
because some of the stuff in ninein Star Kid is uncomfortable. Now
they're they're gonna have the eating scene. You know, they're gonna have the
eating scene with Blue Beetle. They'regonna have the same thing of, oh,
this beetle is from a different planetof species who sent it off,

(01:12:55):
but they want it back. It'sa whole thing, you know, what's
gonna happen. They will have,like the the confidence scene though how once
against the beetle, he has moreconfidence in himself. I don't have that
probably as well. Interesting, butthat was Star Getting review, Kevin.
My main sort of litmus test foryou with this one, and it will
be for these sort of one offepisodes going forward. Was it better than

(01:13:16):
Doom? Yes? Yeah, Ithink it's as well. But that is
starkt in review. Our next movie, we'll be talking about Blue Beetle.
That'll be on Thursday. Then wegot Asoka coming out next week. But
at the same time, don't worrybecause come this labored day, another Kevin

(01:13:38):
special before we get to a Hoodiespecial for the holidays, Surf Ninjo.
We will be watching one dude,Dude, this was amazing? Is on
YouTube a a horrible quality something likethat. It's gonna be a fun time.
But you can see everything we talkedabout so much more by going to

(01:14:00):
Hot ninety nine five dot com slashCrisis Crew. You also stay up to
day on our social media's at InfiniteUnderscore Pods or comment did you like Star
Kid? Did you hate it?What was your favorite part of the movie?
YouTube dot com or Twitch dot tvslash Infinite Underscore Pods. You know,
we thought we wouldn't survive the summerwith all the writers and actress trucks

(01:14:20):
going on. But we're getting there, Baby, We're getting there. I
have a whole barrel of nineties kidin movies, Like we can do house
arrests, we can do Here's thething. I thought of a lot of
things. I thought of this duringwatching this movie. Why don't we just
do men in black? Review inreview? That's so much better. You
know, they claim a movie madeno money. That's Hollywood claims, but

(01:14:44):
they have one of the most iconicnineties movie songs of all time? Come
on that the toys that we allhad, come on. Here's the thing,
all right, maybe we need todo three Ninjas. Maybe we need
to do a poll and or abracket challenge of ninety movies and or pole
which one should we watch next afterwe do Surf Ninja because Men in Black

(01:15:06):
I'm thinking it's small Soldiers. ThreeNinjas is now brought to the table as
well thanks to Andy Droegan in thechat wasn't we can do sidekicks? Maybe
it's like it wasn't as funny asblank Check any of those movies that we
mentioned during this as well? Wecan do like we can do well.
I've always wanted to do that.The nineties high school comedies, romantic comedies

(01:15:30):
maybe maybe not those probably the onesthat are very dated of their time.
I love She's All That so much. I love the movie, so I
already feel like there's something gonna beproblematic with that movie before we've watched.
But still, anyway, let usknow which movie you want us to talk
about next. We'll be back onThursday to talk about Blue Beetle so much
more. But as always, myname is hoodie and I'm kidding and you've

(01:15:55):
officially listened to this Stock and Philepisode Crisis on Infinite bid Cake. Please
please look us for Reducis on that. Please,
