It's a lovely day today, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
And we're just gonna go ahead and.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Go ahead and get this thing here started. First of all,
I like to say shout out to UFC Fight Night.
One of my songs, Electrified was played on one of
the fights, so I'm gonna get a nice little world
to check from that shot. And I also want to say,
(01:07):
ladies and gentlemen the beginning the intro song that's an
instrumental I produced called icon Athlete. But anyways, we're gonna,
we're gonna get this started, and we're gonna just talk
about Marvel in general, Marvel field games, Marvel universe. So
I just want to make a disclaimer. There's so many
Marvel games, so many Marvel movies. We're just gonna talk
(01:31):
about the ones that we know about, So don't don't
shoot the messengers.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
This is this basis of our knowledge.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Right, So yeah, go ahead and started off some wrong,
like get this thing kicked off?
Speaker 5 (01:46):
Yeah, man, Like one of the first Marvel games that
I used to play was like in the r KA.
I believe it was like the Marvel versus capcom you know,
when it was across the Dreamcast, you know, where.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
You could play with the X Men.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
Characters and also well, I'm sorry, let's go back Marvel superheroes.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Like with the Marvel characters. You played with the whole
with the Spider Man and Wolverine. Yo. That's uh, that's
what started it off for me. Quarter counches. You know.
Of course it moved over to the PlayStation.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
But yeah, man, those Marvel games, they were they were something.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
What about you?
Speaker 1 (02:19):
So I want to say I started off in the
Marvel universe first and foremost. I like to say, shout
out to DC Comics and man, that'll all will be
number one in my books, but Marvel Universe. As a kid,
I remember watching the amazing Spider Man cartoon series. So
I want to just started off with me with Spider
(02:41):
Man and then uh, one of my first memories of
the games was shout out to Sega Genesis, Sega Genesis fans,
Sega fan, uh.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Sega Genesis Spider Man.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
I will say that I was impressed with that game,
and uh yeah, so for me, it started off with
us Spider Man.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
Okay, y'all never played that one on the Saga Genesis.
I've never found that anywhere. I think that by the
time that came out, by the time I.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Played Sega, I guess.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
Sonic was pretty much kind of rounded home plate with
it all. But yeah, I've never actually gotten to play
that Spider Man game. However, I do know that there's
a bad guy named Spider Man that's in the Revenge
of Shnoby that you have to fight, right Yeah. Yeah,
But as far as like you know, I really never
even gotten to the I was always a Superman fan,
(03:31):
you say, shout out to DC.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
But the first Marvel.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
Movie that I ever really watched was you know, the
Spider Man movie with Toad Maguire, you know, and then
you know, everything just kind of went from there, you know.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
But that that was pretty much my major introduction to
Spider Man.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
You know, I've never actually watched before that. I've never
actually watched the cartoons. And however, I did notice that
on Disney Plus there's this new Spider Man animated cartoon
that they just come out with. I watched one episode,
so I'm gonna go in and finish all the rest
of them as well.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Have you seen that?
Speaker 1 (04:09):
No, I haven't, Man shout out to that. I'm gonna
definitely have to check that out. But yeah, I will say,
in reference to the video game, Man, it came out
around when Sega was really popping.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Man.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
It came out around the time of the Rage and
around that time because I remember one of my friends
had it in middle school and I had to borrow it.
And I borrowed it and I ain't really give it back,
you know what I'm saying. That's but it's no, it's
a pretty decent game, man. And as far as the movies, Man,
(04:41):
I do remember as a kid in the eighties they
had they had a Spider Man movie. I want to say,
but let's be honest, man, Uh yeah, early two thousand, Man,
it's really when the Marvel Universe. As far as the
MOVI movies really kicked off, Man, in my mind, I
(05:04):
want to say, the Iron Man series really solidified it
for me.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Yes, you know, and believe it. Like I said, I
had never actually gotten it too.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
A lot of Marvel, you know, like I said, watch
the Spider Man movies. There was an incredible Hulk movie
that also really I'm sorry it was just called Hulk,
and I didn't watch that right.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Away because you know, I had mixed feelings about it.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
People it was just like it was okay, and I
was like, okay, so I've passed on it.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
But then you know, of course.
Speaker 5 (05:30):
They made the Iron Man movies and you know, they
had the Incredible Hulk where they redid it and he
fell into that universe.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
So iron Man is what started it off.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
And then you know, we got that and then we
went into it was Iron Man and Hulk that you
got the Captain America, you know, and of course all
the characters started popping up, and then you get to
the first Avengers movie and then it just got crazy
and you know, I know it all the heads off
into the Guardians of the Galaxy wish to me is
the modern day version of Star Wars, you know, and
(06:06):
you know the Guardian Rocket was my favorite.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Yeah, and I will say, man, shout out body is
of the Galaxy man because that I think Guardian of
The Galaxy also should appeal to all gen xers, because man,
that dude's mixtapes are on point. Man, their gen x
quality and and just the way, the whole the way
the outline is, uh, is very I'm not gonna lie, man.
(06:34):
Every Guardian of the Galaxy movie that I've seen has
never failed. And we talk about iron Man. Iron Man
has been like very decent. The only complaint that I
would have about the movies, bro, is just the three hours.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Man, Uh, you know what that does.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
But that doesn't that doesn't bother me, you know, I
don't I don't mind the runtime, you know, being to
two to three hours, because I mean, as long as
it's a decent storyline and you know, you have that
good action.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
Now.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
The only one that I found that was slightly slow,
but I still like a lot of people kind of
give it a lot of hate was The The Eternals.
But you know, I don't know if you've ever seen it,
The Eternals, if you really sit down and you watch it, it
makes sense.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
You know, the kids like Newtant kids.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
No, No, that's the that's the New Mutants. The Eternals
goes back to the beginning of time and they were
like like the first superheroes, and you know, they were
showing like how.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
They could have given No, you couldn't.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
You couldn't mess with the timeline, like I guess, you know,
so they kind of went back to the like the
time like of the Caveman or something like that, and
like the one guy he was like, yeah, I can
give them this and this and the like that would
take care of all that. They were like, no, because
the message of the evolution and they Okay, well I'll
just scrap that, and you know, you have to watch
them struggle for the next thousand years or something like that.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
But you know, and then it.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Also goes into like, you know, they gave them the
power of like I want to say, like nuclear or
fusion or.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Something like that, and then they created the.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
Hydrogen bomb that destroyed Hiroshima. So it actually goes into
real world events.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
That really happen.
Speaker 5 (08:16):
That's what I really like about it. But everybody finds
it kind of slow. But you know, Slowest City is okay,
you know, because it kind of you have to learn
how to pace yourself. Everything can always be action, you know,
you have to you have to learn to slow down.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
It's like Okay, just enjoy the story and see what's
going on.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
But actually, although I haven't seen them a lot, because
it does have a very long run time, it's not
a bad movie. If you, if you haven't seen it,
give it, give it a watch. I mean, if you,
if you even if you don't watch it one time, you.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Know, I'm I'm about to check that out. But I'm
kind of jumping a little bit.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
What did you think about The Captain America Brave New World?
Speaker 4 (08:56):
What are your thoughts on that movie?
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Since since is fresh and fresh and on mind, I
liked it.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
You know, a lot of people.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
I thought it was a really good movie.
Speaker 5 (09:06):
You know, I know it's not Steve Rogers, but you know,
of course we know why Steve Rogers passed down his
shield to Falcon and now he has his own movie.
But I thought it was a pretty fresh take, you know,
and you know with the Redhawk, you know, I guess it.
I mean, I thought it was pretty cool. But you
(09:26):
have to also go back to the Falcon and the
Winter Soldier before you jump into that, you know, because
it deals with a lot of topics you know that's happening.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
In today's in today's society. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Have you seen those?
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Yeah, I've seen it. That was pretty good, man, I
think shout out to Anthony Mackie. I thought he did
an amazing job. And then I know there was some haters.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
But we won't get into that. I thought the movie,
you know, was very good.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
I just want to say, and this ain't being woke,
that America is multi diverse. It's not just one race.
It's a melting pot of all people.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
And I love him. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
I love movies that reflect what America is, multi diverse
and many different people. You know, different people can be
different superheroes. I thought the movie was pretty good. I
thought it was well executed, and shout out to Anthony
Mackie and shout out to Marvel to doing that. So
then I want to switch it up back to the cartoons.
(10:28):
So one of the one thing that I will say
that was, and it just popped in my mind, man,
nineteen nineties X Men cartoon series.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
Oh yeah, yeah, those are cool Saturday mornings.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Yeah those were.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
I didn't see them all, but I think that was
pretty much kind of sort where everybody really started.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
A little Wolverine.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
It was like, yeah, he used to be in his
own movie and everything, you know, and.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
Then to jump forward back in about I want to
say about maybe two thousand, we got the X Men movie. Yeah,
but yeah, those those cartoons were solid, man, and then
they really they laid the foundation for it all.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
And I think, yeah, that brought back the popularity and
the resurgence of the X Men. And then we can
flip that into the X Men video game by Konami.
Was it Konami four player game and it had all
the it was just like the cartoon and I mean
that was that was Yeah, that was pretty dope, man.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
Yeah, you know that Cabinet I'm sorry, no, go ahead,
go ahead, let's say you.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Know that Cabinet can be a four player or six
player game.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
So I didn't know that, you know.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Yeah, they had there's like actually there's actually a wider screen.
Speaker 5 (11:41):
That they were They put two of the screens together
and you can play up the six players in it.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
Yep, yep.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
And that was that was it, and then we had
the X Men. So the first sexment, I want to say,
came out with early early two thousands and shout out
to Halle Berry, Halle various storm, What did you think
about the first movie, the first X Men movie, if
you can remember.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
It, Yeah, I remember I saw at the theater.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
It was it was a pretty decent movie, you know,
I know they were comparing it to like the groundbreaking
technology that the Matrix shoes.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
It was.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Not as fast paced as I.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
Would have liked it like for it to have been,
but you know, coming from the cartoons.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
But it was a pretty solid movie.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
But once they got to the second one, you know,
and they started introducing a lot of characters, and then
they keep in mind, I didn't really know who a
lot of those characters.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Were at the time.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
You know, It's just like, okay.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
I recommend I could recognize Storm Woveringe. I know, Gambit
wasn't in the movie, h psychops. And then you know
they use their real names, and they also a dressed
comic accurate.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
So and of course you had the guy who.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Played I think his name is kill that plays.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
Magneto, and then we also had the guy who plays
Professor X Patrick Stewart, I believe, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
Yeah, And I'm glad you.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
I'm glad you mentioned Gambit man because I'm gonna circle back,
because we need to circle back to somebody who helped
who helped the Marvel universe and then in the late
nineteen hundred and nineties, so we didn't know that Gambit
was supposed to have a movie until Deadpool, but came
out in Deadpool?
Speaker 4 (13:32):
Who was in Deadpool?
Speaker 1 (13:34):
That actually reinvigorated the Marvel, saved the Marvel with his movie,
his movie series or back in ninth.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
In the late nineteen nineties, Blade.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Yes, so Blade, say, yep, Blade was the one that
kicked everything off, and so we kind of all over
the place.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
But what did you think about? Man?
Speaker 1 (14:02):
What what did you think about that movie Blade?
Speaker 5 (14:07):
So when I first went to go see Blade, you know,
they were like, Yo, we're gonna watch this movie Blade.
It's like, okay, cool. I didn't know much about it.
I thought that it was gonna take place like an
eighteen hundreds or.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Something, but you know, because of vampires. I don't.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
I didn't at that point in time. I never really
thought about modern day vampires. I was like, okay, cool,
let's go watch it. But Yo, we sat there and
watched that and the lights went down, and yo, that
was that movie was smoking. I loved it, and especially
I loved the second one because the second one was
the second one was more It had more horror element
(14:39):
to it than the first one.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
But Blade was a good movie. I thought that. I
thought that was great. What about you.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Man shout out the Passenger fifty seven New jack City.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
I knew that, Like when I saw it.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
The bad video Michael jackson.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
D debut was Michael Jackson's bad Okay. Another shout out,
So Wesley Snipes man a man that embodies a whole bunch.
When I saw in the movie theater, I was like, wow,
you know a vampire movie.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
Is he good? Is he bad?
Speaker 1 (15:17):
And just just Wesley Snipe's demeanor. Man shout out to
New York, that New York attitude. Like the scene where
somebody tried to shoot him, He's like, motherfucker.
Speaker 5 (15:27):
I mean, you know what I mean, the dude, I
mean he's an actually action star.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Karate, the swords, the effects when the vampires get cut,
and that iconic scene with the underground club and the dance,
the dance music and then when the fire sprinklers with
the blood and that fight will always be iconic. And
(15:57):
I put it on the level of the Matrix because
the fight scenes and everything, and that was around the
same time. But people do not actually, yeah, yeah, you're right.
It was before the Matrix. That's what kicked off that
whole black leather, the you know, the kung fu and
all of that, and and and and shout out to
(16:18):
Brian reynolds man because.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
Blade unsung hero he is.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
If it was no Blade, I don't think the Marvel
universe would have popped off like it did.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
Love the movie, Love the movie.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
And what's to be desired is a game with Blade
or Capcom video game with with all of these guys
with Blade, you know what I'm saying. And shout out
again to Ryan's Reynolds because now you know, we may
get another Blade with the original Blade.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
Wesley Snipe's right, we may get another Deadpool movie with Blade.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
And I like the way.
Speaker 5 (16:55):
I like how he went in in a Deadpool movie.
He pulled together Blade, the guy who's gonna play Gambit,
and that was supposed to be a Gamber movie. You're right,
but it never happened. But instead they pulled them into
that movie.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
And then they also.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
Pulled the lecturer. Yeah, and then they also had his daughter,
I'm sorry, Wolverine's daughter.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
From the Logan movie.
Speaker 5 (17:20):
And I think I got everybody, but then I mean,
I like how they had like all the other side
characters that were bad guys in the previous X Men
movies that was on the side with the other lady
that was supposed to be like the brother I'm sorry,
the sister to Patrick Stewart, Professor X or whatever. But
(17:41):
if you if you notice that a lot of those
bad guys, those people were over there, like the red
guy that could disappear, and like, yeah, that was that
was pretty cool movie.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
You also mentioned another franchise, and like, I wanted to
get your take on the Fantastic Four and the Fantastic
Four movies a reboost that we got mine again, don't
shoot the messenger. This is just my personal opinion. I
(18:13):
feel like the Fantastic Four movies just there was always
something missing, to something to be desired, just really didn't
grab me. Like your Iron Man, your Spider Man. I
just feel like there's always missed opportunities.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
You know, I've never actually watched past the first Fantastic
Four movie that came out a couple of years back,
and I know that there was a reboot that happened
with Michael B.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
Jordan.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
I've never actually watched that one.
Speaker 5 (18:44):
But from what I saw in the original Fantastic Four movie,
it felt a bit like you were watching.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Kind of like that Hulk movie that came out. You know.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
It's like because I guess maybe the characters.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
Weren't as known then again, I could be off because,
like I say, I'm not very kind of but g
accurate like way back then, But I don't know, it's.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Like something You're right, something was missing.
Speaker 5 (19:09):
There's this new one that's coming out in July that
looks like it's gonna kind of it feels like it's
gonna really put it all together because you know, with
the way they all the more Over Universe has joined
together and the story is just kind of ongoing, and
with the multi Verse, we've come so farded now everything
is just kind of coming together and they're bringing in
more characters, and with the CGI and everything that they
(19:32):
can do now, it just makes more sense. Like I said,
this new one's gonna have Galactus, and I've been looking
forward to that character for a long time, you know,
to pull them off on screen. If you go back
and watch Eternals, they show you I forget what they're called,
but it's like the characters like really like really giant
(19:54):
size characters, like they're like out in space and like
I said, I forget what they call. Somebody chime in
to say what it is. But Galactus is like one
of those style characters, like he's a planet eater, you know,
and he can be. I mean he's big than a
planet earths, he can be. I guess he could size
himself to whatever. But yeah, they just kind of show
a shadow keeping it and it's like, Oh, that's gonna be cool.
(20:15):
So I can't wait to see that.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
Yeah, and I hope it. I hope it.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
I hope it pops off because I remember the early
two thousands Fantastic for a movie, the Michael B.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
Jordan one.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Like you said, it just didn't grab me, and hopefully
they get it right this time. But shout out to
anybody that likes the Fantastic Four in the movies. I mean,
for me personally, just didn't grab me. But I want to.
I want to bring a shout out too, And I mean,
disfranchise even when it's main star passed away, Rest in peace.
(20:53):
Chadwick Boseman, the late Great Chas mc bosewan, the first
movie icon the second movie Iconic your thoughts, and he
deserve a video game. Man, I don't even know if
they have a video game. If they do, please let
us know. Black Panther Man, your thoughts on Black Panther.
Speaker 5 (21:14):
I felt that, like I'm not and I'm not gonna
knock the second movie because I know he passed away,
so they had to do what they could with it,
you know, so I know that if anybody had the
scene it. Of course, his sister became a Black Panther.
But that first Black Panther movie is really solid, you know.
And of course that's not his first movie. He first
was introduced in Captain America Civil War. Yes, yes, so
(21:39):
he's he's got a few movies in on his belt.
Of course, he was with the Civil War and also
with the He was also in the Infinity Wary and
also he comes back in an endgame, so.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
He Yeah, he did his thing. It's too bad. I mean,
it's unfortunate that he was so short lived in.
Speaker 5 (21:59):
It, but I mean obvious reasons to like I sayd
RP Chadwick Boseman, and I hate that he's gone, but
you know, there's gonna be another Black Panther movie. When
I understand it's coming out. It's gonna I believe I
saw Denzel Washington.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
I don't know what.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Party's gonna play, but you know, I'm kind of looking.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Forward to that too. What about you?
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Yeah, I'm looking I mean they carried the torch. I
mean because I you know, the question was where they're
gonna use cgi Al Paulker and Fast Furious franchise, and
you know, because he passed away and it's like, Okay,
we got to regroup, we gotta redo everything, and it
(22:40):
came off beautifully, and I'm interested. I'm interested to see
where they take the franchise up. Interesting fact, do you
know one of our heroes was at one time interested
in buying the Marvel franchise.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
And Michael Jackson, Yes.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
Sir, and he visited.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
You know what I'm saying, so uh crazy.
Speaker 5 (23:06):
Yeah, he had a lot of ideas. He was locked
into a lot of stuff. You know, a lot of
people don't realize that.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
And when the franchise wasn't doing that well, Michael had
the foresight to see like, hey, this has potential. So
I just I just wanted to throw that out.
Speaker 4 (23:24):
Man. I'm trying to think what.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Else, man, there's so many Oh, Yeah, did we have
a we had a ghostwriter?
Speaker 4 (23:31):
Wasn't there a ghostwriter? Nicholas Case?
Speaker 3 (23:34):
Yeah, Yeah, that was cool.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
That was a cool one.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Yeah did you see it?
Speaker 1 (23:40):
I didn't see it, man, I just I'm just trying
to be like, there's so much Marvel stuff. I'm trying
to think of the just out of the non mainstream
ones that we you know coming go on.
Speaker 5 (23:53):
Man, that ghost Rider me was fire. And THEMN also
had what's the what's the one guy's name that was
in Roadhouse?
Speaker 3 (24:03):
He's like a cowboy?
Speaker 5 (24:05):
Oh sapt's shoot no, let us know, let us know.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Yeah, but he was No, I'm not gonna tell you
it was.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
It was a good movie. Yeah, that that move was fire.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
So did you check out the Marvel series that was
on at one time Netflix? Daredevil? Man, I can't remember
the other ones. I'm gonna have to googleize him. Uh,
don't shoot the Messenger, don't shoot the Messenger. But it
was it was an awesome Netflix series with a couple
of yeah Marvel characters.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
I know what you're talking about. I hadn't seen him.
I hadn't seen them all.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
Luke Cage, yeah, Luke Cage. Yeah. And then they had
who else did they have.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
I mean there was dared Devil, that.
Speaker 5 (24:51):
Was Luke Cage, there was one other one. Oh and
a guy's name is sam Elli by the way, that
was a ghost.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Yes, we had to punish the season one Iron Fish,
Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Daredevil, The Defenders, Right, did you
check them out?
Speaker 3 (25:13):
No?
Speaker 5 (25:14):
I think I might have started watching Luke k As
at one point and then I started watching like maybe
Daredevil a little bit, but I guess I never really
got into it.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
It was just I was just from being so busy,
you know, and I was just always in and out
of the house.
Speaker 5 (25:28):
And now that I'm like I'm able to sit down
a little bit more, I may go back and give
that a second watch, because you know, all those characters
are important because you.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
May you may they may pop up in the future.
You'll be like, wait, who was that? Why did that happen?
Speaker 5 (25:40):
You know, kind of like kind of like they did
with Daredevil and Spider Man No Way Home. You know,
he pops up like briefly, and of course theater went
the theater went wild.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
But if you never watched Daredevil, you might be like, well,
who is that? You know?
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Yeah, and I think, man, that it was a great series.
Loved it, all of them.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
Yeah, I think that's a new one.
Speaker 5 (26:08):
Yeah, I think there's a new one that's out right
now too.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Oh really, we're gonna have to check that out. What
did you think about I think the movie came out.
I think it was part of this character was on
one of the fantastic for a movie, Silver Surfer.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
Like I said, I I hadn't watched the second.
Speaker 5 (26:28):
Okay, I'm pregnant back and listeners know. Yeah, I think
Laurence Fishburne he has something to do with that character
something like that. Don't don't quote me on Like I said,
I haven't seen it, but I do know that the
Silver Surf is also going to be in the new movie.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Yeah, and then flipping back, Man, so we already said
the X Men nineteen nineties arcade game. If you haven't
checked that out, millennials and beyond, it is a video
game worth checking out. And I know they did a
reboot of the cartoon series, but that video game is amazing.
(27:06):
There was also another video game multiplayer video game that
also came out was Captain America.
Speaker 4 (27:14):
And the Avengers.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
Oh yeah, Like, how did.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
You feel about that video game.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
I mean, that was that was pretty cool.
Speaker 5 (27:21):
I have that on the I believe I have that
in an arcade archive on my PlayStation two. But yeah,
I do remember playing that. It was kind of like
you were playing Final Fight and Slash Slash X men.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
It was. It was pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
You know what I like that really stood out was
the announcer in the video game. Yeah, like it made
you feel like, yeah, yeah, no, Captain America. And then
like when you hear somebody be like black flap, you
know it have like the Batman. Oh yeah yeah. And
then speaking of which, remember Spider Man arcade game with
(28:03):
the Venom.
Speaker 4 (28:05):
I never played it, Okay, it was it was pretty dope.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
And then what about the Punisher video game arcade game
I did.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
I did play that.
Speaker 5 (28:14):
Yeah, I spent some quarters on that. I actually finished
that game. Yeah, but that was that was a good game.
It was a Punisher and it was another.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Guy he played with as well.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
I think he had like a patch on his eyes something.
I don't know much about the Punisher, but I did.
Speaker 5 (28:29):
I did like that game because, like I say, once again,
that's like one of those final fight style video games.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
You know.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
You know what I liked about the X Men game
was the soundtrack.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
And the noise that it made. You know, it was
just loud and.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Like you know, used that surround sound.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Kind of effect that that was really cool.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Yeah, And speaking of the punisher in the Captain America.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
Game, they got ports.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Did you have you ever played the ports the Super Nintendo. No, Okay,
the ports were pretty decent, man, they were. They were
pretty decent ports. Much more to be desired.
Speaker 5 (29:09):
But the only one that I had ever played, the
only port that I ever played was it was an
X Men port that was on the Saga Genesis, and
I remember.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
One of my friends bought the game and we thought
it was.
Speaker 5 (29:22):
Going to be like the Arcade game, you know, because
we were playing that pretty heavy at the time. And
when we got home, not knocking that game because it's
okay for what it was, but we were a little
disappointed because it wasn't It wasn't even two player simultaneous,
let alone the same as an Arcade game.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
But like I said, it was, it was okay for
what it was. And that was the only I guess
home port that I had ever played.
Speaker 5 (29:44):
Of an X Men game that I can remember. Oh,
I had never played any any Spider.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Man's or anything on the on the snest.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
They have.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
The Spider Man games are also ported on the Saga
Genesis m and I will say, yeah, I know what
you're talking about, because the X Men games for the
Sega Genesis were definitely not the arcade. And then that's
when Sega Genesis started making their games a little bit
more grainier.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Yeah, what was up with that?
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Yeah, so that was that was the Sega Genesis grainy period.
And I want to say the music too, Man, I
don't like the music kind of got weird because it
the X Men kind.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
Of had that.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
It's was it Eternal Champions kind of like.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Green yes, going on?
Speaker 5 (30:32):
And I want to say about like I remember playing
Eternal Champions. I guess I was more or less we
were too good to trying to compare it.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
To Street Fighter at the time in Mortal Kombat, which
it was. I think it was a decent enough game.
Speaker 5 (30:46):
Had it been like I guess you have they had
that six button player controller. But the thing about not
that they just had like that grain look. But at
the same time, I'm going to go back and revisit
Eternal Champions because you know, looking back at it now,
you know, I mean, not like it then, but it's like,
you know, it's like a good book just because you're
done with it, it's not done with you. Sometimes you just
(31:07):
got to go back and give it a second second look.
You know, everybody seems to be going back to that
sixteen bit slash ninety space now.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
Yeah, And I've.
Speaker 5 (31:15):
Seen it pop up on my on my timeline a
couple of times, and it is still a grainy, of course,
but it's like, maybe.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
It's not as bad as I thought it was.
Speaker 5 (31:22):
Maybe it's just my eyes at the time, and it's
like I just couldn't it just didn't stand up to
me because I was looking at games like Water Combat
and Street Fighter, which were a bit more had it
wasn't the animation wasn't as chopping.
Speaker 4 (31:36):
Yep, yep.

I like to say shout out to UFC Fight Night.

to check from that shot. And I also want to say,
(01:07):

instrumental I produced called icon Athlete. But anyways, we're gonna,
we're gonna get this started, and we're gonna just talk
about Marvel in general, Marvel field games, Marvel universe. So
I just want to make a disclaimer. There's so many
Marvel games, so many Marvel movies. We're just gonna talk
(01:31):
about the ones that we know about, So don't don't
shoot the messengers.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
This is this basis of our knowledge.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Right, So yeah, go ahead and started off some wrong,
like get this thing kicked off?
Speaker 5 (01:46):
Yeah, man, Like one of the first Marvel games that
I used to play was like in the r KA.
I believe it was like the Marvel versus capcom you know,
when it was across the Dreamcast, you know, where.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
You could play with the X Men.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
Characters and also well, I'm sorry, let's go back Marvel superheroes.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Like with the Marvel characters. You played with the whole
with the Spider Man and Wolverine. Yo. That's uh, that's
what started it off for me. Quarter counches. You know.
Of course it moved over to the PlayStation.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
But yeah, man, those Marvel games, they were they were something.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
What about you?
Speaker 1 (02:19):
So I want to say I started off in the
Marvel universe first and foremost. I like to say, shout
out to DC Comics and man, that'll all will be
number one in my books, but Marvel Universe. As a kid,
I remember watching the amazing Spider Man cartoon series. So
I want to just started off with me with Spider
(02:41):
Man and then uh, one of my first memories of
the games was shout out to Sega Genesis, Sega Genesis fans,
Sega fan, uh.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Sega Genesis Spider Man.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
I will say that I was impressed with that game,
and uh yeah, so for me, it started off with
us Spider Man.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
Okay, y'all never played that one on the Saga Genesis.
I've never found that anywhere. I think that by the
time that came out, by the time I.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Played Sega, I guess.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
Sonic was pretty much kind of rounded home plate with
it all. But yeah, I've never actually gotten to play
that Spider Man game. However, I do know that there's
a bad guy named Spider Man that's in the Revenge
of Shnoby that you have to fight, right Yeah. Yeah,
But as far as like you know, I really never
even gotten to the I was always a Superman fan,
(03:31):
you say, shout out to DC.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
But the first Marvel.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
Movie that I ever really watched was you know, the
Spider Man movie with Toad Maguire, you know, and then
you know, everything just kind of went from there, you know.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
But that that was pretty much my major introduction to
Spider Man.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
You know, I've never actually watched before that. I've never
actually watched the cartoons. And however, I did notice that
on Disney Plus there's this new Spider Man animated cartoon
that they just come out with. I watched one episode,
so I'm gonna go in and finish all the rest
of them as well.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Have you seen that?
Speaker 1 (04:09):
No, I haven't, Man shout out to that. I'm gonna
definitely have to check that out. But yeah, I will say,
in reference to the video game, Man, it came out
around when Sega was really popping.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Man.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
It came out around the time of the Rage and
around that time because I remember one of my friends
had it in middle school and I had to borrow it.
And I borrowed it and I ain't really give it back,
you know what I'm saying. That's but it's no, it's
a pretty decent game, man. And as far as the movies, Man,
(04:41):
I do remember as a kid in the eighties they
had they had a Spider Man movie. I want to say,
but let's be honest, man, Uh yeah, early two thousand, Man,
it's really when the Marvel Universe. As far as the
MOVI movies really kicked off, Man, in my mind, I
(05:04):
want to say, the Iron Man series really solidified it
for me.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Yes, you know, and believe it. Like I said, I
had never actually gotten it too.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
A lot of Marvel, you know, like I said, watch
the Spider Man movies. There was an incredible Hulk movie
that also really I'm sorry it was just called Hulk,
and I didn't watch that right.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Away because you know, I had mixed feelings about it.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
People it was just like it was okay, and I
was like, okay, so I've passed on it.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
But then you know, of course.
Speaker 5 (05:30):
They made the Iron Man movies and you know, they
had the Incredible Hulk where they redid it and he
fell into that universe.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
So iron Man is what started it off.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
And then you know, we got that and then we
went into it was Iron Man and Hulk that you
got the Captain America, you know, and of course all
the characters started popping up, and then you get to
the first Avengers movie and then it just got crazy
and you know, I know it all the heads off
into the Guardians of the Galaxy wish to me is
the modern day version of Star Wars, you know, and
(06:06):
you know the Guardian Rocket was my favorite.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Yeah, and I will say, man, shout out body is
of the Galaxy man because that I think Guardian of
The Galaxy also should appeal to all gen xers, because man,
that dude's mixtapes are on point. Man, their gen x
quality and and just the way, the whole the way
the outline is, uh, is very I'm not gonna lie, man.
(06:34):
Every Guardian of the Galaxy movie that I've seen has
never failed. And we talk about iron Man. Iron Man
has been like very decent. The only complaint that I
would have about the movies, bro, is just the three hours.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Man, Uh, you know what that does.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
But that doesn't that doesn't bother me, you know, I
don't I don't mind the runtime, you know, being to
two to three hours, because I mean, as long as
it's a decent storyline and you know, you have that
good action.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
Now.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
The only one that I found that was slightly slow,
but I still like a lot of people kind of
give it a lot of hate was The The Eternals.
But you know, I don't know if you've ever seen it,
The Eternals, if you really sit down and you watch it, it
makes sense.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
You know, the kids like Newtant kids.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
No, No, that's the that's the New Mutants. The Eternals
goes back to the beginning of time and they were
like like the first superheroes, and you know, they were
showing like how.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
They could have given No, you couldn't.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
You couldn't mess with the timeline, like I guess, you know,
so they kind of went back to the like the
time like of the Caveman or something like that, and
like the one guy he was like, yeah, I can
give them this and this and the like that would
take care of all that. They were like, no, because
the message of the evolution and they Okay, well I'll
just scrap that, and you know, you have to watch
them struggle for the next thousand years or something like that.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
But you know, and then it.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
Also goes into like, you know, they gave them the
power of like I want to say, like nuclear or
fusion or.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Something like that, and then they created the.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
Hydrogen bomb that destroyed Hiroshima. So it actually goes into
real world events.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
That really happen.
Speaker 5 (08:16):
That's what I really like about it. But everybody finds
it kind of slow. But you know, Slowest City is okay,
you know, because it kind of you have to learn
how to pace yourself. Everything can always be action, you know,
you have to you have to learn to slow down.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
It's like Okay, just enjoy the story and see what's
going on.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
But actually, although I haven't seen them a lot, because
it does have a very long run time, it's not
a bad movie. If you, if you haven't seen it,
give it, give it a watch. I mean, if you,
if you even if you don't watch it one time, you.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Know, I'm I'm about to check that out. But I'm
kind of jumping a little bit.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
What did you think about The Captain America Brave New World?
Speaker 4 (08:56):
What are your thoughts on that movie?
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Since since is fresh and fresh and on mind, I
liked it.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
You know, a lot of people.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
I thought it was a really good movie.
Speaker 5 (09:06):
You know, I know it's not Steve Rogers, but you know,
of course we know why Steve Rogers passed down his
shield to Falcon and now he has his own movie.
But I thought it was a pretty fresh take, you know,
and you know with the Redhawk, you know, I guess it.
I mean, I thought it was pretty cool. But you
(09:26):
have to also go back to the Falcon and the
Winter Soldier before you jump into that, you know, because
it deals with a lot of topics you know that's happening.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
In today's in today's society. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Have you seen those?
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Yeah, I've seen it. That was pretty good, man, I
think shout out to Anthony Mackie. I thought he did
an amazing job. And then I know there was some haters.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
But we won't get into that. I thought the movie,
you know, was very good.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
I just want to say, and this ain't being woke,
that America is multi diverse. It's not just one race.
It's a melting pot of all people.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
And I love him. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
I love movies that reflect what America is, multi diverse
and many different people. You know, different people can be
different superheroes. I thought the movie was pretty good. I
thought it was well executed, and shout out to Anthony
Mackie and shout out to Marvel to doing that. So
then I want to switch it up back to the cartoons.
(10:28):
So one of the one thing that I will say
that was, and it just popped in my mind, man,
nineteen nineties X Men cartoon series.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
Oh yeah, yeah, those are cool Saturday mornings.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Yeah those were.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
I didn't see them all, but I think that was
pretty much kind of sort where everybody really started.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
A little Wolverine.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
It was like, yeah, he used to be in his
own movie and everything, you know, and.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
Then to jump forward back in about I want to
say about maybe two thousand, we got the X Men movie. Yeah,
but yeah, those those cartoons were solid, man, and then
they really they laid the foundation for it all.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
And I think, yeah, that brought back the popularity and
the resurgence of the X Men. And then we can
flip that into the X Men video game by Konami.
Was it Konami four player game and it had all
the it was just like the cartoon and I mean
that was that was Yeah, that was pretty dope, man.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
Yeah, you know that Cabinet I'm sorry, no, go ahead,
go ahead, let's say you.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Know that Cabinet can be a four player or six
player game.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
So I didn't know that, you know.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Yeah, they had there's like actually there's actually a wider screen.
Speaker 5 (11:41):
That they were They put two of the screens together
and you can play up the six players in it.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
Yep, yep.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
And that was that was it, and then we had
the X Men. So the first sexment, I want to say,
came out with early early two thousands and shout out
to Halle Berry, Halle various storm, What did you think
about the first movie, the first X Men movie, if
you can remember.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
It, Yeah, I remember I saw at the theater.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
It was it was a pretty decent movie, you know,
I know they were comparing it to like the groundbreaking
technology that the Matrix shoes.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
It was.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Not as fast paced as I.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
Would have liked it like for it to have been,
but you know, coming from the cartoons.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
But it was a pretty solid movie.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
But once they got to the second one, you know,
and they started introducing a lot of characters, and then
they keep in mind, I didn't really know who a
lot of those characters.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Were at the time.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
You know, It's just like, okay.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
I recommend I could recognize Storm Woveringe. I know, Gambit
wasn't in the movie, h psychops. And then you know
they use their real names, and they also a dressed
comic accurate.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
So and of course you had the guy who.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Played I think his name is kill that plays.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
Magneto, and then we also had the guy who plays
Professor X Patrick Stewart, I believe, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
Yeah, And I'm glad you.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
I'm glad you mentioned Gambit man because I'm gonna circle back,
because we need to circle back to somebody who helped
who helped the Marvel universe and then in the late
nineteen hundred and nineties, so we didn't know that Gambit
was supposed to have a movie until Deadpool, but came
out in Deadpool?
Speaker 4 (13:32):
Who was in Deadpool?
Speaker 1 (13:34):
That actually reinvigorated the Marvel, saved the Marvel with his movie,
his movie series or back in ninth.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
In the late nineteen nineties, Blade.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Yes, so Blade, say, yep, Blade was the one that
kicked everything off, and so we kind of all over
the place.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
But what did you think about? Man?
Speaker 1 (14:02):
What what did you think about that movie Blade?
Speaker 5 (14:07):
So when I first went to go see Blade, you know,
they were like, Yo, we're gonna watch this movie Blade.
It's like, okay, cool. I didn't know much about it.
I thought that it was gonna take place like an
eighteen hundreds or.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Something, but you know, because of vampires. I don't.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
I didn't at that point in time. I never really
thought about modern day vampires. I was like, okay, cool,
let's go watch it. But Yo, we sat there and
watched that and the lights went down, and yo, that
was that movie was smoking. I loved it, and especially
I loved the second one because the second one was
the second one was more It had more horror element
(14:39):
to it than the first one.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
But Blade was a good movie. I thought that. I
thought that was great. What about you.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Man shout out the Passenger fifty seven New jack City.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
I knew that, Like when I saw it.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
The bad video Michael jackson.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
D debut was Michael Jackson's bad Okay. Another shout out,
So Wesley Snipes man a man that embodies a whole bunch.
When I saw in the movie theater, I was like, wow,
you know a vampire movie.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
Is he good? Is he bad?
Speaker 1 (15:17):
And just just Wesley Snipe's demeanor. Man shout out to
New York, that New York attitude. Like the scene where
somebody tried to shoot him, He's like, motherfucker.
Speaker 5 (15:27):
I mean, you know what I mean, the dude, I
mean he's an actually action star.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Karate, the swords, the effects when the vampires get cut,
and that iconic scene with the underground club and the dance,
the dance music and then when the fire sprinklers with
the blood and that fight will always be iconic. And
(15:57):
I put it on the level of the Matrix because
the fight scenes and everything, and that was around the
same time. But people do not actually, yeah, yeah, you're right.
It was before the Matrix. That's what kicked off that
whole black leather, the you know, the kung fu and
all of that, and and and and shout out to
(16:18):
Brian reynolds man because.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
Blade unsung hero he is.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
If it was no Blade, I don't think the Marvel
universe would have popped off like it did.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
Love the movie, Love the movie.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
And what's to be desired is a game with Blade
or Capcom video game with with all of these guys
with Blade, you know what I'm saying. And shout out
again to Ryan's Reynolds because now you know, we may
get another Blade with the original Blade.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
Wesley Snipe's right, we may get another Deadpool movie with Blade.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
And I like the way.
Speaker 5 (16:55):
I like how he went in in a Deadpool movie.
He pulled together Blade, the guy who's gonna play Gambit,
and that was supposed to be a Gamber movie. You're right,
but it never happened. But instead they pulled them into
that movie.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
And then they also.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
Pulled the lecturer. Yeah, and then they also had his daughter,
I'm sorry, Wolverine's daughter.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
From the Logan movie.
Speaker 5 (17:20):
And I think I got everybody, but then I mean,
I like how they had like all the other side
characters that were bad guys in the previous X Men
movies that was on the side with the other lady
that was supposed to be like the brother I'm sorry,
the sister to Patrick Stewart, Professor X or whatever. But
(17:41):
if you if you notice that a lot of those
bad guys, those people were over there, like the red
guy that could disappear, and like, yeah, that was that
was pretty cool movie.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
You also mentioned another franchise, and like, I wanted to
get your take on the Fantastic Four and the Fantastic
Four movies a reboost that we got mine again, don't
shoot the messenger. This is just my personal opinion. I
(18:13):
feel like the Fantastic Four movies just there was always
something missing, to something to be desired, just really didn't
grab me. Like your Iron Man, your Spider Man. I
just feel like there's always missed opportunities.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
You know, I've never actually watched past the first Fantastic
Four movie that came out a couple of years back,
and I know that there was a reboot that happened
with Michael B.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
Jordan.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
I've never actually watched that one.
Speaker 5 (18:44):
But from what I saw in the original Fantastic Four movie,
it felt a bit like you were watching.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Kind of like that Hulk movie that came out. You know.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
It's like because I guess maybe the characters.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
Weren't as known then again, I could be off because,
like I say, I'm not very kind of but g
accurate like way back then, But I don't know, it's.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Like something You're right, something was missing.
Speaker 5 (19:09):
There's this new one that's coming out in July that
looks like it's gonna kind of it feels like it's
gonna really put it all together because you know, with
the way they all the more Over Universe has joined
together and the story is just kind of ongoing, and
with the multi Verse, we've come so farded now everything
is just kind of coming together and they're bringing in
more characters, and with the CGI and everything that they
(19:32):
can do now, it just makes more sense. Like I said,
this new one's gonna have Galactus, and I've been looking
forward to that character for a long time, you know,
to pull them off on screen. If you go back
and watch Eternals, they show you I forget what they're called,
but it's like the characters like really like really giant
(19:54):
size characters, like they're like out in space and like
I said, I forget what they call. Somebody chime in
to say what it is. But Galactus is like one
of those style characters, like he's a planet eater, you know,
and he can be. I mean he's big than a
planet earths, he can be. I guess he could size
himself to whatever. But yeah, they just kind of show
a shadow keeping it and it's like, Oh, that's gonna be cool.
(20:15):
So I can't wait to see that.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
Yeah, and I hope it. I hope it.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
I hope it pops off because I remember the early
two thousands Fantastic for a movie, the Michael B.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
Jordan one.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Like you said, it just didn't grab me, and hopefully
they get it right this time. But shout out to
anybody that likes the Fantastic Four in the movies. I mean,
for me personally, just didn't grab me. But I want to.
I want to bring a shout out too, And I mean,
disfranchise even when it's main star passed away, Rest in peace.
(20:53):
Chadwick Boseman, the late Great Chas mc bosewan, the first
movie icon the second movie Iconic your thoughts, and he
deserve a video game. Man, I don't even know if
they have a video game. If they do, please let
us know. Black Panther Man, your thoughts on Black Panther.
Speaker 5 (21:14):
I felt that, like I'm not and I'm not gonna
knock the second movie because I know he passed away,
so they had to do what they could with it,
you know, so I know that if anybody had the
scene it. Of course, his sister became a Black Panther.
But that first Black Panther movie is really solid, you know.
And of course that's not his first movie. He first
was introduced in Captain America Civil War. Yes, yes, so
(21:39):
he's he's got a few movies in on his belt.
Of course, he was with the Civil War and also
with the He was also in the Infinity Wary and
also he comes back in an endgame, so.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
He Yeah, he did his thing. It's too bad. I mean,
it's unfortunate that he was so short lived in.
Speaker 5 (21:59):
It, but I mean obvious reasons to like I sayd
RP Chadwick Boseman, and I hate that he's gone, but
you know, there's gonna be another Black Panther movie. When
I understand it's coming out. It's gonna I believe I
saw Denzel Washington.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
I don't know what.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Party's gonna play, but you know, I'm kind of looking.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Forward to that too. What about you?
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Yeah, I'm looking I mean they carried the torch. I
mean because I you know, the question was where they're
gonna use cgi Al Paulker and Fast Furious franchise, and
you know, because he passed away and it's like, Okay,
we got to regroup, we gotta redo everything, and it
(22:40):
came off beautifully, and I'm interested. I'm interested to see
where they take the franchise up. Interesting fact, do you
know one of our heroes was at one time interested
in buying the Marvel franchise.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
And Michael Jackson, Yes.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
Sir, and he visited.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
You know what I'm saying, so uh crazy.
Speaker 5 (23:06):
Yeah, he had a lot of ideas. He was locked
into a lot of stuff. You know, a lot of
people don't realize that.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
And when the franchise wasn't doing that well, Michael had
the foresight to see like, hey, this has potential. So
I just I just wanted to throw that out.
Speaker 4 (23:24):
Man. I'm trying to think what.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Else, man, there's so many Oh, Yeah, did we have
a we had a ghostwriter?
Speaker 4 (23:31):
Wasn't there a ghostwriter? Nicholas Case?
Speaker 3 (23:34):
Yeah, Yeah, that was cool.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
That was a cool one.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Yeah did you see it?
Speaker 1 (23:40):
I didn't see it, man, I just I'm just trying
to be like, there's so much Marvel stuff. I'm trying
to think of the just out of the non mainstream
ones that we you know coming go on.
Speaker 5 (23:53):
Man, that ghost Rider me was fire. And THEMN also
had what's the what's the one guy's name that was
in Roadhouse?
Speaker 3 (24:03):
He's like a cowboy?
Speaker 5 (24:05):
Oh sapt's shoot no, let us know, let us know.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Yeah, but he was No, I'm not gonna tell you
it was.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
It was a good movie. Yeah, that that move was fire.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
So did you check out the Marvel series that was
on at one time Netflix? Daredevil? Man, I can't remember
the other ones. I'm gonna have to googleize him. Uh,
don't shoot the Messenger, don't shoot the Messenger. But it
was it was an awesome Netflix series with a couple
of yeah Marvel characters.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
I know what you're talking about. I hadn't seen him.
I hadn't seen them all.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
Luke Cage, yeah, Luke Cage. Yeah. And then they had
who else did they have.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
I mean there was dared Devil, that.
Speaker 5 (24:51):
Was Luke Cage, there was one other one. Oh and
a guy's name is sam Elli by the way, that
was a ghost.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Yes, we had to punish the season one Iron Fish,
Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Daredevil, The Defenders, Right, did you
check them out?
Speaker 3 (25:13):
No?
Speaker 5 (25:14):
I think I might have started watching Luke k As
at one point and then I started watching like maybe
Daredevil a little bit, but I guess I never really
got into it.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
It was just I was just from being so busy,
you know, and I was just always in and out
of the house.
Speaker 5 (25:28):
And now that I'm like I'm able to sit down
a little bit more, I may go back and give
that a second watch, because you know, all those characters
are important because you.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
May you may they may pop up in the future.
You'll be like, wait, who was that? Why did that happen?
Speaker 5 (25:40):
You know, kind of like kind of like they did
with Daredevil and Spider Man No Way Home. You know,
he pops up like briefly, and of course theater went
the theater went wild.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
But if you never watched Daredevil, you might be like, well,
who is that? You know?
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Yeah, and I think, man, that it was a great series.
Loved it, all of them.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
Yeah, I think that's a new one.
Speaker 5 (26:08):
Yeah, I think there's a new one that's out right
now too.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Oh really, we're gonna have to check that out. What
did you think about I think the movie came out.
I think it was part of this character was on
one of the fantastic for a movie, Silver Surfer.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
Like I said, I I hadn't watched the second.
Speaker 5 (26:28):
Okay, I'm pregnant back and listeners know. Yeah, I think
Laurence Fishburne he has something to do with that character
something like that. Don't don't quote me on Like I said,
I haven't seen it, but I do know that the
Silver Surf is also going to be in the new movie.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Yeah, and then flipping back, Man, so we already said
the X Men nineteen nineties arcade game. If you haven't
checked that out, millennials and beyond, it is a video
game worth checking out. And I know they did a
reboot of the cartoon series, but that video game is amazing.
(27:06):
There was also another video game multiplayer video game that
also came out was Captain America.
Speaker 4 (27:14):
And the Avengers.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
Oh yeah, Like, how did.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
You feel about that video game.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
I mean, that was that was pretty cool.
Speaker 5 (27:21):
I have that on the I believe I have that
in an arcade archive on my PlayStation two. But yeah,
I do remember playing that. It was kind of like
you were playing Final Fight and Slash Slash X men.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
It was. It was pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
You know what I like that really stood out was
the announcer in the video game. Yeah, like it made
you feel like, yeah, yeah, no, Captain America. And then
like when you hear somebody be like black flap, you
know it have like the Batman. Oh yeah yeah. And
then speaking of which, remember Spider Man arcade game with
(28:03):
the Venom.
Speaker 4 (28:05):
I never played it, Okay, it was it was pretty dope.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
And then what about the Punisher video game arcade game
I did.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
I did play that.
Speaker 5 (28:14):
Yeah, I spent some quarters on that. I actually finished
that game. Yeah, but that was that was a good game.
It was a Punisher and it was another.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Guy he played with as well.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
I think he had like a patch on his eyes something.
I don't know much about the Punisher, but I did.
Speaker 5 (28:29):
I did like that game because, like I say, once again,
that's like one of those final fight style video games.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
You know.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
You know what I liked about the X Men game
was the soundtrack.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
And the noise that it made. You know, it was
just loud and.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Like you know, used that surround sound.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Kind of effect that that was really cool.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Yeah, And speaking of the punisher in the Captain America.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
Game, they got ports.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
Did you have you ever played the ports the Super Nintendo. No, Okay,
the ports were pretty decent, man, they were. They were
pretty decent ports. Much more to be desired.
Speaker 5 (29:09):
But the only one that I had ever played, the
only port that I ever played was it was an
X Men port that was on the Saga Genesis, and
I remember.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
One of my friends bought the game and we thought
it was.
Speaker 5 (29:22):
Going to be like the Arcade game, you know, because
we were playing that pretty heavy at the time. And
when we got home, not knocking that game because it's
okay for what it was, but we were a little
disappointed because it wasn't It wasn't even two player simultaneous,
let alone the same as an Arcade game.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
But like I said, it was, it was okay for
what it was. And that was the only I guess
home port that I had ever played.
Speaker 5 (29:44):
Of an X Men game that I can remember. Oh,
I had never played any any Spider.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Man's or anything on the on the snest.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
They have.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
The Spider Man games are also ported on the Saga
Genesis m and I will say, yeah, I know what
you're talking about, because the X Men games for the
Sega Genesis were definitely not the arcade. And then that's
when Sega Genesis started making their games a little bit
more grainier.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Yeah, what was up with that?
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Yeah, so that was that was the Sega Genesis grainy period.
And I want to say the music too, Man, I
don't like the music kind of got weird because it
the X Men kind.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
Of had that.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
It's was it Eternal Champions kind of like.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Green yes, going on?
Speaker 5 (30:32):
And I want to say about like I remember playing
Eternal Champions. I guess I was more or less we
were too good to trying to compare it.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
To Street Fighter at the time in Mortal Kombat, which
it was. I think it was a decent enough game.
Speaker 5 (30:46):
Had it been like I guess you have they had
that six button player controller. But the thing about not
that they just had like that grain look. But at
the same time, I'm going to go back and revisit
Eternal Champions because you know, looking back at it now,
you know, I mean, not like it then, but it's like,
you know, it's like a good book just because you're
done with it, it's not done with you. Sometimes you just
(31:07):
got to go back and give it a second second look.
You know, everybody seems to be going back to that
sixteen bit slash ninety space now.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
Yeah, And I've.
Speaker 5 (31:15):
Seen it pop up on my on my timeline a
couple of times, and it is still a grainy, of course,
but it's like, maybe.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
It's not as bad as I thought it was.
Speaker 5 (31:22):
Maybe it's just my eyes at the time, and it's
like I just couldn't it just didn't stand up to
me because I was looking at games like Water Combat
and Street Fighter, which were a bit more had it
wasn't the animation wasn't as chopping.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
