Speaker 1 (00:00):
Our first TV film show rumor to tests here is
uh Aaron Taylor Johnson and William Defaue both supposedly popping
back into the uh David Edgars projects here with Werewolf?
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Is it Davids?
Speaker 1 (00:17):
I completely did not feel confident in saying that, Robert,
thank you, David Agar.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Robert David Ayers is a guy I think.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Yeah, I feel confident saying that. My mind went blank.
I just thought, David, thank you.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
He's back. He's making were Wolf. He made nos Faratu,
so he's bringing his two boys back. Uh. So Aaron
Taylor Johnson is the lead. This is interesting because he
was kind of, I guess is in a supporting role
in nos Faratu, who's actually the one character I was
not totally vibing within that. I just felt like his
tone to me wasn't fitting, like the phone of his
character wasn't really fitting the movie overall. For me, I'm
(01:00):
I'm actually excited to see him in another leading role
here because I feel like this is an actor who's
got a lot of potential, but he just needs to
be placed just right. And so I'm hopeful that you know,
obviously they've worked together before, him and the director, so
hopefully this is him being placed just right. But unfortunately,
I feel like Aaron Taylor Johnson does have a bit
of a quite a level of variance for me. I
(01:20):
just I either love him or hate him. He's one
of those for me, and so I'm hoping I'm on
the love side because obviously, no, it's Futo was great,
where Wolf seems like a good obviously material for this,
this director, of course, and Dafoe, I mean, this guy
gets a home run every time he's up to bat.
So I mean, he's just he's gonna nail it. He's
gonna be some weird freak. He's gonna be fantastic. He
(01:42):
could be the Werewolf. I don't know. He could do
it all and I'll be there for it. Willem Dafoe
he doesn't mess. So I'm excited for this. I will
say when when I first read this, because we've ben
meming about Willem Dafoe and Anya Taylor Joy and when
I saw Aaron Taylor Johnson the de nominator there being
the Taylor, I thought this was like gonna be them
(02:03):
leading the thing together, like whoa. The rumors keeping a
swirling that these two are like married or dating or something,
which is a weird mix to be sure. But Anya
Taylor Joy was in what's it called The Witch, so
she's been in the Eggers Eggar's Realm as well.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
So she was also in The North Men.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Oh yeah, she's been around the block when it comes
to the Eggers stuff. But it's been been on the
bench for a little bit, unfortunately.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
She has been.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Yeah, she gave her spot to Dafoe her. That's right
husband to be.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
It's it's kind of funny how Aaron Taylor Johnson and
Anya Taylor Joy share the same initials.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Uh WHOA? Yeah, I never a pieced together to the
ATJ because I never called her ATJ. We called him
at J.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Yeah, yeah, we can call her ATJ now too.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
I guess her she has less Does she have less
syllables in her name?
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Her?
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Her name just flows. But Aaron Taylor Johnson feels like
a freaking mouthful sometimes.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Anya Taylor Joy Taylor Johnson, So she has one less syllable,
So that's not a big difference. Yeah, yeah, not really,
but it does flow, it does flow better. Yeah, I
am so excited for this movie. I mean not spar
out too, was just the Bee's knees. What a fantastic timee.
And so for this now with with doing like the
(03:19):
werewolf side of things, absolutely this is this is great
for a franchise. Franchise, I guess a theme vampires just
you think that they would have exhausted it by now,
but they keep just hitting home runs. I love the
Last Voyage of the Demeter. What was the other vampire
project that came out Sinners, thank you? Oh my god?
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Ten fantastic in the peak vampire era. Are we We're
doing pretty good right now?
Speaker 1 (03:48):
We are? We are. We've got to keep that, keep
that rolling with with these creatures.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
So him movie was pretty good too, right, wasn't it
the one that came out earlier this year or Wolfman?
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Yes, the Wolfman that the movie was fantastic. I saw
that in theaters. That was freaking awesome. Oh I love
that movie. That was really really good. The one that
came out with god what is his name? He played?
We also had Night Bitch. That's a kind of a
werewolf movie, right, Yeah, I didn't really like that one
that much. There was another one that came out and
(04:19):
it was like a dog Soldiers meets Underworld kind of vibe.
He has the guy who played Crossbones. He's played Rick
Flake Senior. I can't remember the name of him. I
don't know, ah, but yeah, he's he's not. The movie
was not great, not great. But anyways, anyways, yeah, I
(04:41):
can't have it did not. I would have done better
if it had Willem Dafoe in there, for sure, of course.
But let me ask you this still, and what do
you know about Dredd dread?
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Well, this is Judge dread right, same realm. Correct, So
we did that. It was that the towy twelve Golden
Geeks that we covered that one, right, or did we
do a retro?
Speaker 1 (05:05):
No, that was a Golden Geeks, that's right.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Yeah, so it didn't. We didn't do a retro on it,
but it came up in conversation because it was one
of the movies that we were that was on our
our to do list, and so that was the first
time I had seen that, of course, and I liked it. It
was a solid movie, had good concept. It seems like
there's a lot of potential there. Now that's funny just
because obviously that movie came out a while ago, but
I just watched it last year, so to me, it
(05:28):
feels too fresh, and I'm like not fiending for more
of this Judge dread world. And with Taika, man, this guy,
he he's all over the place. He's all over the
map in terms of quality, but especially with that soccer
movie did, which was just dog shit, I was not
not good at all. But even though that was like
an original concept, I think for him, like I kind
(05:49):
of still want him to do more original stuff, just
because he has so many weird, crazy ideas and I
want to see more of that stuff. And obviously him
doing an ip thing. I do think this is a
pretty good one to do. It's not too overplayed. It
seems like it's got a good mix of like he
he can do his action stuff, he can do his
character stuff, you can do some comedy in there, so
it seems like a decent mix. I guess it's just
not like the thing I'd be most excited to see,
(06:12):
well really from anyone, but even specifically from him, and
the Taika isms that I like, I just don't. I
guess I wouldn't see this as like I wouldn't put
this in a draft of like, oh I gotta see
Tayko make this kind of movie. But I'm open to it.
I will probably watch it, like you know, not in theaters,
but like in the air comes out. I'll definitely watch
this movie and hopefully it's good because yeah, I want
(06:33):
Tayka to kind of be on topic, and it feels
like it's been a bit since his since his finest work,
so hopefully hopefully can get back to that point.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Yeah, I haven't seen really anything recent of Taika's, but
I do know that some of his things can be
kind of hit or miss. And Zany I would prefer
to get another Judge Dread movie with Carl Urban. I
think that that would be my kind of level of
because I really like that that Dread movie with him
(07:03):
and just the vibe of just being like the raid
where they're trapped in this tower as just chaos and
fighting and everything. I think it's really really cool. But
I'm gonna give him a chance see what's going on.
I think it's a franchise that we should definitely get
tapped into a little bit because I think the original
was Sylvester Stallone that played Dread. If I'm not mistaken,
(07:23):
which I've not seen that original often make a point
to eventually, but yeah, we'll see what comes of this.
Next on the list is National Treasure three. Reportedly a
script is being written.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Right this one. I gotta just volley you back to
you because I've not seen these and I know you're
a big fan, so you any National Jury, Taylor, I'm sorry,
I have not my God Treasure list over here.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Oh man, Well I got it. I got a declaration
of independence that I'm about whip out him. Show you someday. Yeah.
I think the movies are fantastic. Me and Kirkland, we'll
just we'll put them on every once in a while,
just watch them and they just stay satisfy. That edge
Nicholas Cage is amazing in them. I watched the TV
(08:16):
show they did on Disney Plus. It was okay. It
had some isms, but it did not really capture the magic.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
For me.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
If I'm craving National Treasure, I'm gonna go back and
watch that first one. Second is not bad, but that
first one is just pure magic. There's a couple scenes
in there, one particular where you could just feel the
Nick Cage lizaniness kind of seep out. And this is
before he started to get into that crazy era.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Okay, this is an origin story of the crazy ca.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
The organ story. Yeah, it's just a it's a dang
good movie. I really really like it. Benjamin Gates the character. Oh,
it's this fantastic quality quality. So there's a big thing
in the second movie that they highlight and you never
get an answer to it. They highlight that answer, or
so they highlight that question again and reiterate it in
the TV show that they did, but they don't ever
(09:05):
give us the answer. And that answer is what is
on page forty seven in the President's Book. I got
to know what's on this page, and we'll just far.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
That's going to be written in this script. What was
written on that page?
Speaker 1 (09:16):
I freaking hope. So, I mean it's it's the ultimate cliffhanger.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
It's like, it's like what's in the briefcase? Like it's
that's the equivalent for.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
The It's it's it's yeah, it's up there, It's It's
just it's one of those things. And I mean, I
I don't want to die without knowing what's on page
forty seven. I just I would have an incomplete death.
I'd probably haunt the earth as a spirit and just
waiting to figure out what's on page forty seven.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
God, this guy the script everyone.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Yes, So I'm very much excited for that. I hope
that they they run through with it, because the rumors
a few years ago was that they were doing the
show and they were doing a third National Treasure, but
then it seemed like it got scrapped. But now we've
come full circle again and we're back to National three possibly,
So let's let's see it. Let's see it happen. Nice.
But yeah, you lead us on the next one, because
this is this is pretty exciting.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Yeah, Donkey Kong animated movies I guess officially officially happened
at this point, which we kind of already knew. And
I think me and Kirklin talked about a week with
The Geek, like two weeks ago. I forget what the
context was of us talking about that. I think it
was that Nintendo would confirm that they're making like two
other movies, and we were talking about which movies are those,
and then we're like, oh, well, Donkey Kong is obviously
(10:29):
one of them. So you know, it's kind of like
not necessarily a new surprising thing by any means, but
still very exciting. Obviously, don Kong Bananza just came out,
and it's kind of like a big return to form
for Donkey Kong. It's finally him kind of getting the
bananas he deserves kind of. So I think this is
really great. I think it's I really like the Mario movie.
I got to rewatch it, man, I still have not
(10:49):
given it a second rewatch. Actually still only seen it
at the one time in theaters. But I think, you know,
the humor, the casting of it all like it works,
works works perfectly for me. Bonanza just gives them a
whole bunch of new material, like they potentially work with.
I don't know what they would do for the story,
and obviously they kind of already set that character up
in the Mario world. But there's just so many fun cangs,
so many freakish congs out there to bring in the mix,
(11:10):
and you know, a lot of potential for Easter eggs,
a lot of potential for crossover stuff. So yeah, I'm
really excited about this. You know, I'm still pretty wary
about the Zelda Live Action just because, like, I don't know,
we have to wait and see how how I'm you know,
Nintendo Live Action thing looks. But yeah, I think this
is good. Did you know that there was a Donkey
Kong animated show back in the day.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Yes, I believe I watched some of it at my
cousin's house had a hard copy of it.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Right, So not not Donke Kong's first time being an
animated Well, I guess this is the first time an animated movie,
but he's been in the animated realm before. I don't
think that show is I think it's notoriously horrendous. But
uh yeah, hopefully hopefully. You know, this game, specifically Bonanza
and like all the other stuff are the years offers
a lot of good potential there. But I'm I'm super
down for this. I will be there day one because
(11:56):
I'm a Nintendo boy and I love my love, my
boy Donkey Kong.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Mm hmmm, uh yeah, this sounded pretty pretty jazz, pretty excited.
I think it's, uh, let's let's build up this universe,
let's keep it going, let's have some more fun. Because
the more you do in these in these I these movies,
then that means there's more stuff that they can bring
over into the games that we really like. More DLC
and different little crossovers and whatnot. So I think this
(12:21):
is a fantastic idea. And again, I'm not someone that's
running off to uh not running off to Donkey Kong
like I didn't pick up Ananza because I'm not. I'm
not like a Day one Donkey Kong kind of guy.
But I know that he's a very much beloved character
and I'm just excited to see where this is gonna segue.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
So yeah, no, definitely yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Mm hmmm. Uh cool. Now you're a big parts of
the Caribbean FANU.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Am I Are you declaring that or are you asking that?
Speaker 1 (12:55):
I'm declaring my question to you?
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Uh? Okay, what way to phrase that?
Speaker 1 (13:00):
So?
Speaker 2 (13:01):
I where am I with pirates that care? It's this
is a series that I grew up with, but really
only like the first two. Maybe the third one I
watched a little bit, but mostly was the first couple ones,
and you know, I really liked them back in the
day and then kind of just didn't really return them.
I don't know if i've seen four. I definitely did
the review for five, so obviously I think I was mixed.
(13:22):
I think I've just never seen four and I went
right into five and all that, and you know, I
think five was pretty negative. I thought it was okay,
but not great from what I remember, but man is
extremely fuzzy. And then I actually, like, just recently, like
in the last few months, I put on the og
Pirates because I was feeling it after you know, we
always do the meme. I'm curious, you know, when I
(13:42):
wanted to put the movie on, and I'm gonna say,
I was like really disappointed in it. I was like,
this is really slow and like extremely boring and not
that funny or good in any way. I was actually
like really disappointing with it. So I don't know, maybe
maybe I need to give another shot. I feel like
I was given to my attention, maybe it was sleepy
or something. I feel like, if we do get six,
that's finally time to do the retro. That would make sense, right,
(14:06):
That makes we have not done that right, And I'm
not forgetting the whole retro.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
I haven't done it.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Yeah, so that would be good because I feel like
I really need to brush up on my history a bit.
But yeah, I don't know. I when I rewatched that one,
it did it did not work for me. And you
know the funniest part about that, Taylor for me, is
like that I'm curious line is like it's in the
middle of a sentence and it's like it's not highlighted
at all. So I don't know how that became a meme.
It's such it's not like he doesn't say I'm curious.
Like it's not like a big line. I don't know
(14:32):
how this became a thing in our lexicon. I feel
like when I when I saw that scene in the movie,
just like, you know, it just slipped right by. I
was kind of surprised.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
You he says it very fast with the like because yeah,
he says it at the start of a sentence. Yeah,
I don't know. It's one of those things, you know,
twenty five hours stream late at night and we start
just beaking off lines from the movie.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Yeah, Kirkland, you know, all hopped up on sugar and
all that. Yeah, crazy things happened. So anyway, I all
have to say Pirates six rumored original cast. Can you
remind me who's dead? Like I thought some people must
have died, right.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
The only one who's dead right now is Barbosa. Everyone
else is alive.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Okay, so they're all there, but like, I don't know,
do they you know, money talks for sure, and I
feel like, especially right now, everything that has happened with
Johnny Depp, maybe this would be a good way to
get like some positive getting back in the positive light potentially,
Like I could see his agent pitching that case to
him in terms of him money to do this movie.
I don't know if he's I'm sure they have all
done interviews, whether they would do more movies. I just
(15:35):
don't keep up to date with that sort of stuff.
I mean, I'm not super super excited for this, but
I'm actually I'm more happy that they're doing this potentially
instead of like a reboot, I think that's kind of
the way to go. Just keep it going, you know,
build off of it. Maybe it's kind of messing too
long at this point, but I don't. I don't know
if we ever get like a reboot for Pirates, Like
(15:56):
I'm out, I don't, I don't, I don't care. Not
gonna be for me. Kind of another thing that we
might talk about in a few minutes here, but I
don't know. I am obviously, my fandom for this kind
of weighed over the years. So you tell me as
someone who's more in the weeds and watching these movies,
more regularly than me. I don't know, are you excited
for this? Do you want this?
Speaker 1 (16:16):
I really want to Pirates six, I really really do.
I think after the way the last Pirates movie ended,
I've got Cliffhanger, it really had me just kind of
sold on the idea and I thought, we're never gonna
get it, never gonna get it. Johnny Depp coming back,
I am. I'm all for it, but I want him
to be more like his older version of Jack Sparrow,
(16:38):
not his dead Mantano tails version, because that one was
not not the greatest.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Yeah, you guys talked about in five how he was
almost became like a parody of what the character was.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Yes, that's that's right. So I'm hoping that they they
do justice with with that character. And yeah, I get
will turner back yet to Elizabeth swan back. I'm totally
game for all of that. You know, even though Barbosa's
died in the previous one, I mean he's already died once.
He's like, if you die in here, even Jack Sparrow died,
you die, you can come back. There's ways to bring
(17:11):
it back. So right'll be just to see how how
that pans out. I just know that I would really
like a Pirate six And I remember back before the
rumors swirling around was like, Okay, we're gonna do a
six Pirates movie and then another one. I think Margot
Robbie was kind of.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
I do remember that now that you mentioned it.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Yeah, yeah, that was that was kind of like in
talks for you know, to happen. And I think it's
suposed to be in the same universe. But yeah, I'm
I'm glad that we're basically getting just six and we're
gonna be able to focus on that. I think that
that's that's that's the way to go. So yeah, yeah, yeah, that's.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
All I got on that.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Uh, now you you hinted at this, Harry Potter. Now
I know you love Harry Potter.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Yeahhy Harry Potter.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Are you a fan of them doing the TV show?
I don't know if I've ever directly asked you this.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Thank you for asking I Am I a fan of
them doing? You phrase that in an interesting way. I
am not interested in the show. I'm not gonna watch
it mhm, But I think it makes sense for them
to do it. So am I a fan of them
doing it? Sure? That's fine, but yeah, I'm I'm I
don't think I need this in my life.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Yeah, my wife would agree with you. Madison is definitely
not big on the uh the Harry Potter remake kind
of a thing. It's not her her jam She thinks
that the movies are fine. Let's keep it as this.
We don't need to do this. I am open to
it because, like Travis says, when you do a TV show,
you can expand and explore a lot more things that
(19:00):
you can in just a two hour setting. This also
being HBO Crave gets me really really jazz because they
they they do the time, They put a lot of
money into what their projects are, and I think we're
gonna get some really cool visuals and some really cool things,
you know. Harry Potter source for Stone Chamber of Secrets.
(19:21):
They're really really good, but you don't get a lot
of the special effects in there, like the spells and whatnot.
So I think that they're gonna go hot and heavy.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Is that true?
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Here? I feel like you get a lot of them,
a lot of the scenes them talking to talk, and
then when they do do the spells and stuff, you
get like you get a couple action scenes and whatnot.
But it's them like holding When I think of the
magical spells in that movie, it's like, Okay, the Cornish
Pixies are flying and Hermione puts her one up and
says they have a spell, and they all freeze, and
(19:51):
you know that's her using magic. But I am someone
that gravitates heavily to the later ones where they're battling
or dueling and you see like the beams shooting out
of their wands and like they're like like the spells
and them actually like flicking their ones and like you
see those little effects, the special effects of things moving
as like a spell hits something or whatnot. Like even
(20:12):
in like that Definitely Halls Part two when one of
like Malfoy's friends is like shaking his wand and like
this fire snake is like pouring out of the tip
of his wand and he can't control it. Even when
we're like Order of the Phoenix Whendumbledore is facing off
against Valdemore and he Dumbledore is controlling that water war
with Voldemort in there, and like Baltimore like shoots down
(20:32):
the glass at him. Like there's those kind of effects
I like, and you don't get that same level in
those earlier films, and I think it's just because of
the time and the technology. That being said, it does
not take away from the magic and the excitement I
have for those original films. This though, I feel like
we're going to get that kind of like special effects
(20:53):
on the spells and everything. I think it's going to
be a lot of fun, and I like that they're
going to be doing. Is the details here is that
seasons one and two are going to consist each of
six episodes, and they're gonna be filmed back to back.
I think that's a really really good idea because you
don't want you know, time is your enemy here. You're
working with kids, and we've all seen how it works
with Stranger Things. Those kids they age fast. So two
(21:17):
seasons back to back, that gives you a lot of time.
If this starts in twenty twenty seven, then that means
we have twenty twenty eight. I'm assuming season two drops,
and that means okay, they can they can. They've set
themselves up for so many years down the road that
they can just do the next two seasons back to
back and kind of keep that train going. And I
(21:37):
think you'll have a pretty good like growth grace period
between the seasons for your kid actors and whatnot. So
I think that I think that's on the right track.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Yeah, yeah, in six episodes seems like a good number
to me because obviously the movies, you know, cover the
story adequately. Obviously things they have to cut from the books,
but I don't think those books are so beefy that
they require too many episodes per season. I think six
sies like seems like a decent amount, and I think
that could add to the ability to this for this
(22:11):
to be like a nice rewatchable show for people in
the same way that people are nostalgic for Harry Potter
currently and they want to do or rewatch all the movies, right,
and that's like, it doesn't take you too long to
do that, and they should probably help with the show
if as well, if it's six episodes throughout the whole thing,
and maybe they change it, like obviously they took Deathly
Hollows and sput that into two movies, so I don't
know if they would take that. See well, I don't
(22:32):
even know. Is season one just the Philosopher's Stone. That's
why I guess that's my assumption. I'm assuming that they're
doing a season per book, but I could bees.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
That's what I understand.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Yeah, but yeah, so who knows if they do that
as well. For Deathly Hollows, I mean a lot of
people critique that part one because it's like a little
bit boring because it doesn't have like some of the
you know, final act three noess of it in there.
But yeah, obviously I think there's a lot of pinchil on.
Some books obviously are gonna benefit from this this, Uh,
I don't more length than other ones, will I don't know.
(23:04):
I think that when I because my order was that
I watched the movies a lot as a kid, when
I was a little bit older, like early adultho is
when I read some of the books, and there's stuff
of course that didn't occur in the movies, but like,
I don't know if you really needed I think the
movies are just fine just the way they are for
the most part. So yeah, but obviously the series will
allow to really flush up some of those things. But
(23:26):
I'm curious see if they add other things in there,
other things that didn't exist before. Change some things, hopefully
add a little bit more. I don't know, quality content
for some of like certain characters that were kind of
underserved in those movies or also potentially in the books,
you know. And obviously some characters maybe they don't even
make it into the movie. So a lot of potential
here for sure. Yeah, I think I think this is
(23:48):
a good way to do it. Film two seasons back
to back and you're good to go. Might help with
the age age element, as you mentioned.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Yeah, absolutely. Now we've gotten a lot of casting announcements
and whatnot, But the one that's kind of been close
to the chest that people have been talking about is Valdemort.
And uh, Valdivot has already been cast. Now I'm pretty
sure I didn't miss it, right, Like we don't actually
see like who was casted as Valdemort. I'm sure I believe.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Yeah, I believe there's a speculation phase. Is where we're
at with that one.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Okay, Uh, so far, I've been really really happy with
the castings. Uh, Nick Frost is Haggrid. They dropped that photo.
I thought, man, this, yeah, this is this is a
Hagrid for sure. I'm I'm loving this.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
So yeah, I looked at I was looking at an
article of all the people that were cast as were
remind myself and yeah, there was that picture of him
as Hagrid, but then other people like don't have a
picture of them as the characters. Like did they just
do that for him and like some people? Or is
that like an AI image that I saw of someone
who just like make Nick Frost look like Hagrid or something?
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Ah, well, no, they there was a photo of him
that he is in the Hagrid stuff, So.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
They didn't do it for everyone, just some people, I guess.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Obviously the Harry Potter kid, it looks it looks like that. Yeah, yes, yeah, yeah,
that makes sense. I don't Yeah, the one I saw
apparently like Killian Murphy is a rumor, but I don't
know if that's just fan cast stuff or if that's
actually like a rumor rumor or just just like a
fan cast that people are trying to will into existence.
(25:18):
I mean that one would be good, right. I think
he's British, he's got a Voltimore like face. He could
be a Tom Riddle vibe as well. He's he's got
the two sides of it. Would you want that one? Obviously,
he's kind of top of his game. Right now.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
I would definitely be be all for that. That would
that would be pretty sweet. Actually yeah yeah, And I
mean I haven't seen him in anything else recently. I
thought he was going to be in twenty eight years later,
but he is not. He's in the sequel Bone Temple,
of course. Bone Temple. Yeah, so I mean after that's concluded,
I mean, what else is going to be up to?
Speaker 2 (25:50):
I guess he's in Bone Temple and twenty eight years
later had Ray Fines in it the original Voldemort, so
it could be that's right of the voldemorts.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
The meaning of the Voldemort's yeah past hang on the lainage,
Yeah yeah cool. I got nothing else on on that though.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
Well there was the another question from the Great Maddy Says,
of course, who said, who would you guys passes Voldemort
in the HP series al dublay malbla did you did
you not see that one?
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Or you not? Did you? No? I definitely saw it,
but I did not register. So you go first, and
I'll think.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
I'll throw, I'll throw. I have three that I can
chuck at you here?
Speaker 1 (26:32):
What about?
Speaker 2 (26:32):
And I picked only British actors because I think that's
what most of the casting is and they're sticking at
What do you think about Benedict Cumberbatch.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Oh, he's got the face.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
He's got a bit of a voldemorte in face, right,
which is yes, maybe not sound maybe it doesn't sound
like a compliment, but I mean it as a compliment.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
I think, I you know, it would be good, but
I think out of a hard time just seeing doctor
Strange to be honest.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Scene, especially if he has a wand and he's shooting
magic out and that feels a bit too close to
uh to strange. Okay, well here's another Marvel one. Let's
see if you can differentiate. What about what about Paul
Bettany a vision face?
Speaker 1 (27:12):
That's a good one, I would take.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Paul also has a a Voldemarian face. He played a
villain in a Star Wars movie.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Right Dratch solo?
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Yeah, yes, or Draft not Rachel Dratch but another Dratch.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
No Voss Voss versus from Expeditions that's track track.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Boss. Yeah?
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (27:55):
What about so him doing magic wouldn't bother you, even
though Vision shoots beams out of his heads.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
And they wouldn't bother ok he's got the voice in
the face for it, for sure.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
Okay, Okay, I because I like those I like those two.
I like Benny or Paul. Now here's the third one.
He recently played a big villain, a villain who as
as bald as Voldemort. What about Nicholas Holt. I think
he might be too baby faced, but he displayed Lex Luthor,
and you've seen that movie, and I feel like that
(28:25):
would be a good comparison point. Do you feel like
his Luther performance says anything about a Baltimore potential?
Speaker 1 (28:32):
You know, could he do the do the role? Absolutely
he could, and I would be there and support him.
But I think he does look too baby faced for it.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
In like even Lex Luthor, he wasn't he was not
able to differentiate the baby face ness.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
He was mostly just angry all the time. So I
didn't really see a.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Baby Balmore quite angry.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Ah, he's angry, but he's political politically angry, which I
feel like you need to look older for that kind
of a thing.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Okay, Okay, Yeah, that one was my third and lowest pick.
But I like my Paul Bettany and Cumberbatch picks.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
But what about uh Tom Hidleston.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Tom Hidleson interesting, Huh, he's played a villain before, now
I think I would not be able to unsee the
Loki because he's shooting green beams and he's holding wands
and stuff. I think he could be I could see
him in this realm for sure. I'm trying to picture
another character like h he could be like a looping
(29:37):
or something. Maybe.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
I don't think i'd be a good pick. I would
like that, actually, yes, yeah, okay, what about a where
is he Jude Law?
Speaker 2 (29:46):
And you're gonna say Jude Judlaw was fucking Dumbledore in strange?
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Oh right, yeah, we can't do that. Okay, Okay, Simon
Peg you know Nick Frost is in there. You gotta
get Simon Pegg in there Baltimore.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Though, Oh my god, Okay, let me google Simon Pegg
bald balld. Let me see what that looks like. I mean,
he has pretty light hair. I don't I'm not actually
getting a nice bald pick. I don't know. He's too
goofy for me. I think now. I'm sure he does
(30:18):
some great serious roles in his day, but to me,
he's a bit too uh, he's a bit too silly.
But and Nick Frost because that fits more for Hagrid.
But I can't is there a scene of Valdemort and
Hagrid together because Baltimore duo. But is there a scene
(30:39):
would that if that casting did happen, would we ever
get a scene between those teet?
Speaker 1 (30:46):
The only time you get a scene of them together
is definitely Hoose part two, when they're in the Forbidden
Forrest to the Death Theaters and Baltimort standing there and
Hagrid's there and Harry walks out and Hagrid's like, Harry, no,
you shouldn't be yeah, and then Valdemart's like and then
kills Harry.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Yeah like that. Okay, okay, So we'd have to wait
eight years, but we'd eventually get the scene. That's right,
I mean two old buddies exactly. That'd be great.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Yeah, yeah, cool, all right, HP two years away seven?
Speaker 2 (31:25):
There you go?
Speaker 1 (31:26):
All right, Well, is there anything else you want to
cap off before we close this chapter?
Speaker 2 (31:30):
I think the chapter is done and we can close
the book on this episode of w G.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
All right, boys, we have a boy is closing this chapter.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
All those cards off the off the boat Taylor, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Throw them she gets I'm gonna have to download that.
I'm gonna have to get a clip of that and
put it in here all right. Well yeah, ldies, gentlemen,
we'll be back. More content always around the corner here
at Geeper's Podcast, So stay tuned and we'll see you
in the search bar.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
Hey bye,
Our first TV film show rumor to tests here is
uh Aaron Taylor Johnson and William Defaue both supposedly popping
back into the uh David Edgars projects here with Werewolf?
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Is it Davids?
Speaker 1 (00:17):
I completely did not feel confident in saying that, Robert,
thank you, David Agar.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Robert David Ayers is a guy I think.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Yeah, I feel confident saying that. My mind went blank.
I just thought, David, thank you.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
He's back. He's making were Wolf. He made nos Faratu,
so he's bringing his two boys back. Uh. So Aaron
Taylor Johnson is the lead. This is interesting because he
was kind of, I guess is in a supporting role
in nos Faratu, who's actually the one character I was
not totally vibing within that. I just felt like his
tone to me wasn't fitting, like the phone of his
character wasn't really fitting the movie overall. For me, I'm
(01:00):
I'm actually excited to see him in another leading role
here because I feel like this is an actor who's
got a lot of potential, but he just needs to
be placed just right. And so I'm hopeful that you know,
obviously they've worked together before, him and the director, so
hopefully this is him being placed just right. But unfortunately,
I feel like Aaron Taylor Johnson does have a bit
of a quite a level of variance for me. I
(01:20):
just I either love him or hate him. He's one
of those for me, and so I'm hoping I'm on
the love side because obviously, no, it's Futo was great,
where Wolf seems like a good obviously material for this,
this director, of course, and Dafoe, I mean, this guy
gets a home run every time he's up to bat.
So I mean, he's just he's gonna nail it. He's
gonna be some weird freak. He's gonna be fantastic. He
(01:42):
could be the Werewolf. I don't know. He could do
it all and I'll be there for it. Willem Dafoe
he doesn't mess. So I'm excited for this. I will
say when when I first read this, because we've ben
meming about Willem Dafoe and Anya Taylor Joy and when
I saw Aaron Taylor Johnson the de nominator there being
the Taylor, I thought this was like gonna be them
(02:03):
leading the thing together, like whoa. The rumors keeping a
swirling that these two are like married or dating or something,
which is a weird mix to be sure. But Anya
Taylor Joy was in what's it called The Witch, so
she's been in the Eggers Eggar's Realm as well.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
So she was also in The North Men.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Oh yeah, she's been around the block when it comes
to the Eggers stuff. But it's been been on the
bench for a little bit, unfortunately.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
She has been.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Yeah, she gave her spot to Dafoe her. That's right
husband to be.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
It's it's kind of funny how Aaron Taylor Johnson and
Anya Taylor Joy share the same initials.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Uh WHOA? Yeah, I never a pieced together to the
ATJ because I never called her ATJ. We called him
at J.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Yeah, yeah, we can call her ATJ now too.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
I guess her she has less Does she have less
syllables in her name?
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Her?
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Her name just flows. But Aaron Taylor Johnson feels like
a freaking mouthful sometimes.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Anya Taylor Joy Taylor Johnson, So she has one less syllable,
So that's not a big difference. Yeah, yeah, not really,
but it does flow, it does flow better. Yeah, I
am so excited for this movie. I mean not spar
out too, was just the Bee's knees. What a fantastic timee.
And so for this now with with doing like the
(03:19):
werewolf side of things, absolutely this is this is great
for a franchise. Franchise, I guess a theme vampires just
you think that they would have exhausted it by now,
but they keep just hitting home runs. I love the
Last Voyage of the Demeter. What was the other vampire
project that came out Sinners, thank you? Oh my god?
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Ten fantastic in the peak vampire era. Are we We're
doing pretty good right now?
Speaker 1 (03:48):
We are? We are. We've got to keep that, keep
that rolling with with these creatures.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
So him movie was pretty good too, right, wasn't it
the one that came out earlier this year or Wolfman?
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Yes, the Wolfman that the movie was fantastic. I saw
that in theaters. That was freaking awesome. Oh I love
that movie. That was really really good. The one that
came out with god what is his name? He played?
We also had Night Bitch. That's a kind of a
werewolf movie, right, Yeah, I didn't really like that one
that much. There was another one that came out and
(04:19):
it was like a dog Soldiers meets Underworld kind of vibe.
He has the guy who played Crossbones. He's played Rick
Flake Senior. I can't remember the name of him. I
don't know, ah, but yeah, he's he's not. The movie
was not great, not great. But anyways, anyways, yeah, I
(04:41):
can't have it did not. I would have done better
if it had Willem Dafoe in there, for sure, of course.
But let me ask you this still, and what do
you know about Dredd dread?
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Well, this is Judge dread right, same realm. Correct, So
we did that. It was that the towy twelve Golden
Geeks that we covered that one, right, or did we
do a retro?
Speaker 1 (05:05):
No, that was a Golden Geeks, that's right.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Yeah, so it didn't. We didn't do a retro on it,
but it came up in conversation because it was one
of the movies that we were that was on our
our to do list, and so that was the first
time I had seen that, of course, and I liked it. It
was a solid movie, had good concept. It seems like
there's a lot of potential there. Now that's funny just
because obviously that movie came out a while ago, but
I just watched it last year, so to me, it
(05:28):
feels too fresh, and I'm like not fiending for more
of this Judge dread world. And with Taika, man, this guy,
he he's all over the place. He's all over the
map in terms of quality, but especially with that soccer
movie did, which was just dog shit, I was not
not good at all. But even though that was like
an original concept, I think for him, like I kind
(05:49):
of still want him to do more original stuff, just
because he has so many weird, crazy ideas and I
want to see more of that stuff. And obviously him
doing an ip thing. I do think this is a
pretty good one to do. It's not too overplayed. It
seems like it's got a good mix of like he
he can do his action stuff, he can do his
character stuff, you can do some comedy in there, so
it seems like a decent mix. I guess it's just
not like the thing I'd be most excited to see,
(06:12):
well really from anyone, but even specifically from him, and
the Taika isms that I like, I just don't. I
guess I wouldn't see this as like I wouldn't put
this in a draft of like, oh I gotta see
Tayko make this kind of movie. But I'm open to it.
I will probably watch it, like you know, not in theaters,
but like in the air comes out. I'll definitely watch
this movie and hopefully it's good because yeah, I want
(06:33):
Tayka to kind of be on topic, and it feels
like it's been a bit since his since his finest work,
so hopefully hopefully can get back to that point.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Yeah, I haven't seen really anything recent of Taika's, but
I do know that some of his things can be
kind of hit or miss. And Zany I would prefer
to get another Judge Dread movie with Carl Urban. I
think that that would be my kind of level of
because I really like that that Dread movie with him
(07:03):
and just the vibe of just being like the raid
where they're trapped in this tower as just chaos and
fighting and everything. I think it's really really cool. But
I'm gonna give him a chance see what's going on.
I think it's a franchise that we should definitely get
tapped into a little bit because I think the original
was Sylvester Stallone that played Dread. If I'm not mistaken,
(07:23):
which I've not seen that original often make a point
to eventually, but yeah, we'll see what comes of this.
Next on the list is National Treasure three. Reportedly a
script is being written.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Right this one. I gotta just volley you back to
you because I've not seen these and I know you're
a big fan, so you any National Jury, Taylor, I'm sorry,
I have not my God Treasure list over here.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Oh man, Well I got it. I got a declaration
of independence that I'm about whip out him. Show you someday. Yeah.
I think the movies are fantastic. Me and Kirkland, we'll
just we'll put them on every once in a while,
just watch them and they just stay satisfy. That edge
Nicholas Cage is amazing in them. I watched the TV
(08:16):
show they did on Disney Plus. It was okay. It
had some isms, but it did not really capture the magic.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
For me.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
If I'm craving National Treasure, I'm gonna go back and
watch that first one. Second is not bad, but that
first one is just pure magic. There's a couple scenes
in there, one particular where you could just feel the
Nick Cage lizaniness kind of seep out. And this is
before he started to get into that crazy era.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Okay, this is an origin story of the crazy ca.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
The organ story. Yeah, it's just a it's a dang
good movie. I really really like it. Benjamin Gates the character. Oh,
it's this fantastic quality quality. So there's a big thing
in the second movie that they highlight and you never
get an answer to it. They highlight that answer, or
so they highlight that question again and reiterate it in
the TV show that they did, but they don't ever
(09:05):
give us the answer. And that answer is what is
on page forty seven in the President's Book. I got
to know what's on this page, and we'll just far.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
That's going to be written in this script. What was
written on that page?
Speaker 1 (09:16):
I freaking hope. So, I mean it's it's the ultimate cliffhanger.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
It's like, it's like what's in the briefcase? Like it's
that's the equivalent for.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
The It's it's it's yeah, it's up there, It's It's
just it's one of those things. And I mean, I
I don't want to die without knowing what's on page
forty seven. I just I would have an incomplete death.
I'd probably haunt the earth as a spirit and just
waiting to figure out what's on page forty seven.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
God, this guy the script everyone.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Yes, So I'm very much excited for that. I hope
that they they run through with it, because the rumors
a few years ago was that they were doing the
show and they were doing a third National Treasure, but
then it seemed like it got scrapped. But now we've
come full circle again and we're back to National three possibly,
So let's let's see it. Let's see it happen. Nice.
But yeah, you lead us on the next one, because
this is this is pretty exciting.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Yeah, Donkey Kong animated movies I guess officially officially happened
at this point, which we kind of already knew. And
I think me and Kirklin talked about a week with
The Geek, like two weeks ago. I forget what the
context was of us talking about that. I think it
was that Nintendo would confirm that they're making like two
other movies, and we were talking about which movies are those,
and then we're like, oh, well, Donkey Kong is obviously
(10:29):
one of them. So you know, it's kind of like
not necessarily a new surprising thing by any means, but
still very exciting. Obviously, don Kong Bananza just came out,
and it's kind of like a big return to form
for Donkey Kong. It's finally him kind of getting the
bananas he deserves kind of. So I think this is
really great. I think it's I really like the Mario movie.
I got to rewatch it, man, I still have not
(10:49):
given it a second rewatch. Actually still only seen it
at the one time in theaters. But I think, you know,
the humor, the casting of it all like it works,
works works perfectly for me. Bonanza just gives them a
whole bunch of new material, like they potentially work with.
I don't know what they would do for the story,
and obviously they kind of already set that character up
in the Mario world. But there's just so many fun cangs,
so many freakish congs out there to bring in the mix,
(11:10):
and you know, a lot of potential for Easter eggs,
a lot of potential for crossover stuff. So yeah, I'm
really excited about this. You know, I'm still pretty wary
about the Zelda Live Action just because, like, I don't know,
we have to wait and see how how I'm you know,
Nintendo Live Action thing looks. But yeah, I think this
is good. Did you know that there was a Donkey
Kong animated show back in the day.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Yes, I believe I watched some of it at my
cousin's house had a hard copy of it.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Right, So not not Donke Kong's first time being an
animated Well, I guess this is the first time an animated movie,
but he's been in the animated realm before. I don't
think that show is I think it's notoriously horrendous. But
uh yeah, hopefully hopefully. You know, this game, specifically Bonanza
and like all the other stuff are the years offers
a lot of good potential there. But I'm I'm super
down for this. I will be there day one because
(11:56):
I'm a Nintendo boy and I love my love, my
boy Donkey Kong.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Mm hmmm, uh yeah, this sounded pretty pretty jazz, pretty excited.
I think it's, uh, let's let's build up this universe,
let's keep it going, let's have some more fun. Because
the more you do in these in these I these movies,
then that means there's more stuff that they can bring
over into the games that we really like. More DLC
and different little crossovers and whatnot. So I think this
(12:21):
is a fantastic idea. And again, I'm not someone that's
running off to uh not running off to Donkey Kong
like I didn't pick up Ananza because I'm not. I'm
not like a Day one Donkey Kong kind of guy.
But I know that he's a very much beloved character
and I'm just excited to see where this is gonna segue.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
So yeah, no, definitely yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Mm hmmm. Uh cool. Now you're a big parts of
the Caribbean FANU.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Am I Are you declaring that or are you asking that?
Speaker 1 (12:55):
I'm declaring my question to you?
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Uh? Okay, what way to phrase that?
Speaker 1 (13:00):
So?
Speaker 2 (13:01):
I where am I with pirates that care? It's this
is a series that I grew up with, but really
only like the first two. Maybe the third one I
watched a little bit, but mostly was the first couple ones,
and you know, I really liked them back in the
day and then kind of just didn't really return them.
I don't know if i've seen four. I definitely did
the review for five, so obviously I think I was mixed.
(13:22):
I think I've just never seen four and I went
right into five and all that, and you know, I
think five was pretty negative. I thought it was okay,
but not great from what I remember, but man is
extremely fuzzy. And then I actually, like, just recently, like
in the last few months, I put on the og
Pirates because I was feeling it after you know, we
always do the meme. I'm curious, you know, when I
(13:42):
wanted to put the movie on, and I'm gonna say,
I was like really disappointed in it. I was like,
this is really slow and like extremely boring and not
that funny or good in any way. I was actually
like really disappointing with it. So I don't know, maybe
maybe I need to give another shot. I feel like
I was given to my attention, maybe it was sleepy
or something. I feel like, if we do get six,
that's finally time to do the retro. That would make sense, right,
(14:06):
That makes we have not done that right, And I'm
not forgetting the whole retro.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
I haven't done it.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Yeah, so that would be good because I feel like
I really need to brush up on my history a bit.
But yeah, I don't know. I when I rewatched that one,
it did it did not work for me. And you
know the funniest part about that, Taylor for me, is
like that I'm curious line is like it's in the
middle of a sentence and it's like it's not highlighted
at all. So I don't know how that became a meme.
It's such it's not like he doesn't say I'm curious.
Like it's not like a big line. I don't know
(14:32):
how this became a thing in our lexicon. I feel
like when I when I saw that scene in the movie,
just like, you know, it just slipped right by. I
was kind of surprised.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
You he says it very fast with the like because yeah,
he says it at the start of a sentence. Yeah,
I don't know. It's one of those things, you know,
twenty five hours stream late at night and we start
just beaking off lines from the movie.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Yeah, Kirkland, you know, all hopped up on sugar and
all that. Yeah, crazy things happened. So anyway, I all
have to say Pirates six rumored original cast. Can you
remind me who's dead? Like I thought some people must
have died, right.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
The only one who's dead right now is Barbosa. Everyone
else is alive.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Okay, so they're all there, but like, I don't know,
do they you know, money talks for sure, and I
feel like, especially right now, everything that has happened with
Johnny Depp, maybe this would be a good way to
get like some positive getting back in the positive light potentially,
Like I could see his agent pitching that case to
him in terms of him money to do this movie.
I don't know if he's I'm sure they have all
done interviews, whether they would do more movies. I just
(15:35):
don't keep up to date with that sort of stuff.
I mean, I'm not super super excited for this, but
I'm actually I'm more happy that they're doing this potentially
instead of like a reboot, I think that's kind of
the way to go. Just keep it going, you know,
build off of it. Maybe it's kind of messing too
long at this point, but I don't. I don't know
if we ever get like a reboot for Pirates, Like
(15:56):
I'm out, I don't, I don't, I don't care. Not
gonna be for me. Kind of another thing that we
might talk about in a few minutes here, but I
don't know. I am obviously, my fandom for this kind
of weighed over the years. So you tell me as
someone who's more in the weeds and watching these movies,
more regularly than me. I don't know, are you excited
for this? Do you want this?
Speaker 1 (16:16):
I really want to Pirates six, I really really do.
I think after the way the last Pirates movie ended,
I've got Cliffhanger, it really had me just kind of
sold on the idea and I thought, we're never gonna
get it, never gonna get it. Johnny Depp coming back,
I am. I'm all for it, but I want him
to be more like his older version of Jack Sparrow,
(16:38):
not his dead Mantano tails version, because that one was
not not the greatest.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Yeah, you guys talked about in five how he was
almost became like a parody of what the character was.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Yes, that's that's right. So I'm hoping that they they
do justice with with that character. And yeah, I get
will turner back yet to Elizabeth swan back. I'm totally
game for all of that. You know, even though Barbosa's
died in the previous one, I mean he's already died once.
He's like, if you die in here, even Jack Sparrow died,
you die, you can come back. There's ways to bring
(17:11):
it back. So right'll be just to see how how
that pans out. I just know that I would really
like a Pirate six And I remember back before the
rumors swirling around was like, Okay, we're gonna do a
six Pirates movie and then another one. I think Margot
Robbie was kind of.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
I do remember that now that you mentioned it.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Yeah, yeah, that was that was kind of like in
talks for you know, to happen. And I think it's
suposed to be in the same universe. But yeah, I'm
I'm glad that we're basically getting just six and we're
gonna be able to focus on that. I think that
that's that's that's the way to go. So yeah, yeah, yeah, that's.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
All I got on that.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Uh, now you you hinted at this, Harry Potter. Now
I know you love Harry Potter.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Yeahhy Harry Potter.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Are you a fan of them doing the TV show?
I don't know if I've ever directly asked you this.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Thank you for asking I Am I a fan of
them doing? You phrase that in an interesting way. I
am not interested in the show. I'm not gonna watch
it mhm, But I think it makes sense for them
to do it. So am I a fan of them
doing it? Sure? That's fine, but yeah, I'm I'm I
don't think I need this in my life.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Yeah, my wife would agree with you. Madison is definitely
not big on the uh the Harry Potter remake kind
of a thing. It's not her her jam She thinks
that the movies are fine. Let's keep it as this.
We don't need to do this. I am open to
it because, like Travis says, when you do a TV show,
you can expand and explore a lot more things that
(19:00):
you can in just a two hour setting. This also
being HBO Crave gets me really really jazz because they
they they do the time, They put a lot of
money into what their projects are, and I think we're
gonna get some really cool visuals and some really cool things,
you know. Harry Potter source for Stone Chamber of Secrets.
(19:21):
They're really really good, but you don't get a lot
of the special effects in there, like the spells and whatnot.
So I think that they're gonna go hot and heavy.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Is that true?
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Here? I feel like you get a lot of them,
a lot of the scenes them talking to talk, and
then when they do do the spells and stuff, you
get like you get a couple action scenes and whatnot.
But it's them like holding When I think of the
magical spells in that movie, it's like, Okay, the Cornish
Pixies are flying and Hermione puts her one up and
says they have a spell, and they all freeze, and
(19:51):
you know that's her using magic. But I am someone
that gravitates heavily to the later ones where they're battling
or dueling and you see like the beams shooting out
of their wands and like they're like like the spells
and them actually like flicking their ones and like you
see those little effects, the special effects of things moving
as like a spell hits something or whatnot. Like even
(20:12):
in like that Definitely Halls Part two when one of
like Malfoy's friends is like shaking his wand and like
this fire snake is like pouring out of the tip
of his wand and he can't control it. Even when
we're like Order of the Phoenix Whendumbledore is facing off
against Valdemore and he Dumbledore is controlling that water war
with Voldemort in there, and like Baltimore like shoots down
(20:32):
the glass at him. Like there's those kind of effects
I like, and you don't get that same level in
those earlier films, and I think it's just because of
the time and the technology. That being said, it does
not take away from the magic and the excitement I
have for those original films. This though, I feel like
we're going to get that kind of like special effects
(20:53):
on the spells and everything. I think it's going to
be a lot of fun, and I like that they're
going to be doing. Is the details here is that
seasons one and two are going to consist each of
six episodes, and they're gonna be filmed back to back.
I think that's a really really good idea because you
don't want you know, time is your enemy here. You're
working with kids, and we've all seen how it works
with Stranger Things. Those kids they age fast. So two
(21:17):
seasons back to back, that gives you a lot of time.
If this starts in twenty twenty seven, then that means
we have twenty twenty eight. I'm assuming season two drops,
and that means okay, they can they can. They've set
themselves up for so many years down the road that
they can just do the next two seasons back to
back and kind of keep that train going. And I
(21:37):
think you'll have a pretty good like growth grace period
between the seasons for your kid actors and whatnot. So
I think that I think that's on the right track.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Yeah, yeah, in six episodes seems like a good number
to me because obviously the movies, you know, cover the
story adequately. Obviously things they have to cut from the books,
but I don't think those books are so beefy that
they require too many episodes per season. I think six
sies like seems like a decent amount, and I think
that could add to the ability to this for this
(22:11):
to be like a nice rewatchable show for people in
the same way that people are nostalgic for Harry Potter
currently and they want to do or rewatch all the movies, right,
and that's like, it doesn't take you too long to
do that, and they should probably help with the show
if as well, if it's six episodes throughout the whole thing,
and maybe they change it, like obviously they took Deathly
Hollows and sput that into two movies, so I don't
know if they would take that. See well, I don't
(22:32):
even know. Is season one just the Philosopher's Stone. That's
why I guess that's my assumption. I'm assuming that they're
doing a season per book, but I could bees.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
That's what I understand.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Yeah, but yeah, so who knows if they do that
as well. For Deathly Hollows, I mean a lot of
people critique that part one because it's like a little
bit boring because it doesn't have like some of the
you know, final act three noess of it in there.
But yeah, obviously I think there's a lot of pinchil on.
Some books obviously are gonna benefit from this this, Uh,
I don't more length than other ones, will I don't know.
(23:04):
I think that when I because my order was that
I watched the movies a lot as a kid, when
I was a little bit older, like early adultho is
when I read some of the books, and there's stuff
of course that didn't occur in the movies, but like,
I don't know if you really needed I think the
movies are just fine just the way they are for
the most part. So yeah, but obviously the series will
allow to really flush up some of those things. But
(23:26):
I'm curious see if they add other things in there,
other things that didn't exist before. Change some things, hopefully
add a little bit more. I don't know, quality content
for some of like certain characters that were kind of
underserved in those movies or also potentially in the books,
you know. And obviously some characters maybe they don't even
make it into the movie. So a lot of potential
here for sure. Yeah, I think I think this is
(23:48):
a good way to do it. Film two seasons back
to back and you're good to go. Might help with
the age age element, as you mentioned.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Yeah, absolutely. Now we've gotten a lot of casting announcements
and whatnot, But the one that's kind of been close
to the chest that people have been talking about is Valdemort.
And uh, Valdivot has already been cast. Now I'm pretty
sure I didn't miss it, right, Like we don't actually
see like who was casted as Valdemort. I'm sure I believe.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Yeah, I believe there's a speculation phase. Is where we're
at with that one.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Okay, Uh, so far, I've been really really happy with
the castings. Uh, Nick Frost is Haggrid. They dropped that photo.
I thought, man, this, yeah, this is this is a
Hagrid for sure. I'm I'm loving this.
Speaker 2 (24:31):
So yeah, I looked at I was looking at an
article of all the people that were cast as were
remind myself and yeah, there was that picture of him
as Hagrid, but then other people like don't have a
picture of them as the characters. Like did they just
do that for him and like some people? Or is
that like an AI image that I saw of someone
who just like make Nick Frost look like Hagrid or something?
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Ah, well, no, they there was a photo of him
that he is in the Hagrid stuff, So.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
They didn't do it for everyone, just some people, I guess.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Obviously the Harry Potter kid, it looks it looks like that. Yeah, yes, yeah, yeah,
that makes sense. I don't Yeah, the one I saw
apparently like Killian Murphy is a rumor, but I don't
know if that's just fan cast stuff or if that's
actually like a rumor rumor or just just like a
fan cast that people are trying to will into existence.
(25:18):
I mean that one would be good, right. I think
he's British, he's got a Voltimore like face. He could
be a Tom Riddle vibe as well. He's he's got
the two sides of it. Would you want that one? Obviously,
he's kind of top of his game. Right now.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
I would definitely be be all for that. That would
that would be pretty sweet. Actually yeah yeah, And I
mean I haven't seen him in anything else recently. I
thought he was going to be in twenty eight years later,
but he is not. He's in the sequel Bone Temple,
of course. Bone Temple. Yeah, so I mean after that's concluded,
I mean, what else is going to be up to?
Speaker 2 (25:50):
I guess he's in Bone Temple and twenty eight years
later had Ray Fines in it the original Voldemort, so
it could be that's right of the voldemorts.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
The meaning of the Voldemort's yeah past hang on the lainage,
Yeah yeah cool. I got nothing else on on that though.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
Well there was the another question from the Great Maddy Says,
of course, who said, who would you guys passes Voldemort
in the HP series al dublay malbla did you did
you not see that one?
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Or you not? Did you? No? I definitely saw it,
but I did not register. So you go first, and
I'll think.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
I'll throw, I'll throw. I have three that I can
chuck at you here?
Speaker 1 (26:32):
What about?
Speaker 2 (26:32):
And I picked only British actors because I think that's
what most of the casting is and they're sticking at
What do you think about Benedict Cumberbatch.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Oh, he's got the face.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
He's got a bit of a voldemorte in face, right,
which is yes, maybe not sound maybe it doesn't sound
like a compliment, but I mean it as a compliment.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
I think, I you know, it would be good, but
I think out of a hard time just seeing doctor
Strange to be honest.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Scene, especially if he has a wand and he's shooting
magic out and that feels a bit too close to
uh to strange. Okay, well here's another Marvel one. Let's
see if you can differentiate. What about what about Paul
Bettany a vision face?
Speaker 1 (27:12):
That's a good one, I would take.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Paul also has a a Voldemarian face. He played a
villain in a Star Wars movie.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Right Dratch solo?
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Yeah, yes, or Draft not Rachel Dratch but another Dratch.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
No Voss Voss versus from Expeditions that's track track.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Boss. Yeah?
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (27:55):
What about so him doing magic wouldn't bother you, even
though Vision shoots beams out of his heads.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
And they wouldn't bother ok he's got the voice in
the face for it, for sure.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
Okay, Okay, I because I like those I like those two.
I like Benny or Paul. Now here's the third one.
He recently played a big villain, a villain who as
as bald as Voldemort. What about Nicholas Holt. I think
he might be too baby faced, but he displayed Lex Luthor,
and you've seen that movie, and I feel like that
(28:25):
would be a good comparison point. Do you feel like
his Luther performance says anything about a Baltimore potential?
Speaker 1 (28:32):
You know, could he do the do the role? Absolutely
he could, and I would be there and support him.
But I think he does look too baby faced for it.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
In like even Lex Luthor, he wasn't he was not
able to differentiate the baby face ness.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
He was mostly just angry all the time. So I
didn't really see a.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Baby Balmore quite angry.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Ah, he's angry, but he's political politically angry, which I
feel like you need to look older for that kind
of a thing.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Okay, Okay, Yeah, that one was my third and lowest pick.
But I like my Paul Bettany and Cumberbatch picks.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
But what about uh Tom Hidleston.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Tom Hidleson interesting, Huh, he's played a villain before, now
I think I would not be able to unsee the
Loki because he's shooting green beams and he's holding wands
and stuff. I think he could be I could see
him in this realm for sure. I'm trying to picture
another character like h he could be like a looping
(29:37):
or something. Maybe.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
I don't think i'd be a good pick. I would
like that, actually, yes, yeah, okay, what about a where
is he Jude Law?
Speaker 2 (29:46):
And you're gonna say Jude Judlaw was fucking Dumbledore in strange?
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Oh right, yeah, we can't do that. Okay, Okay, Simon
Peg you know Nick Frost is in there. You gotta
get Simon Pegg in there Baltimore.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Though, Oh my god, Okay, let me google Simon Pegg
bald balld. Let me see what that looks like. I mean,
he has pretty light hair. I don't I'm not actually
getting a nice bald pick. I don't know. He's too
goofy for me. I think now. I'm sure he does
(30:18):
some great serious roles in his day, but to me,
he's a bit too uh, he's a bit too silly.
But and Nick Frost because that fits more for Hagrid.
But I can't is there a scene of Valdemort and
Hagrid together because Baltimore duo. But is there a scene
(30:39):
would that if that casting did happen, would we ever
get a scene between those teet?
Speaker 1 (30:46):
The only time you get a scene of them together
is definitely Hoose part two, when they're in the Forbidden
Forrest to the Death Theaters and Baltimort standing there and
Hagrid's there and Harry walks out and Hagrid's like, Harry, no,
you shouldn't be yeah, and then Valdemart's like and then
kills Harry.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Yeah like that. Okay, okay, So we'd have to wait
eight years, but we'd eventually get the scene. That's right,
I mean two old buddies exactly. That'd be great.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Yeah, yeah, cool, all right, HP two years away seven?
Speaker 2 (31:25):
There you go?
Speaker 1 (31:26):
All right, Well, is there anything else you want to
cap off before we close this chapter?
Speaker 2 (31:30):
I think the chapter is done and we can close
the book on this episode of w G.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
All right, boys, we have a boy is closing this chapter.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
All those cards off the off the boat Taylor, Yeah.
