Speaker 1 (00:17):
Hello, everyone, and welcome back to superhero speak. I'm here.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
It's Dave on the other haggard looking man, call me Don,
haggard looking man. Is that our that our tagline, the
haggard looking man for tonight?

Speaker 1 (00:31):
For tonight? Okay, all right, I'll allow it for tonight.
All right? So what do we got? What are we
talking about tonight?

Speaker 2 (00:37):
Oh, we're gonna be talking a movie that wasn't on
my radar, and then all this casting movie news came
out and of course that's yeah, live action street Fighter
movie and it's an interesting cast many have been saying.
I would say, so, yeah, we have a rumor or
two about the mc U and doomsday and a little
bit of X Men news. I put that in there

(00:57):
to get you excited. There, Don and I want to talk,
and we're going to talk about it at the top
of the show because I know you're going to bring
it up. Talk a little more about SUPERMANA With all
that being said, how are you doing, sir?

Speaker 3 (01:11):
Doing great? In fact, you mentioned Superman. We'll talk about it,
But last week I mentioned not being in a great
headspace as I went and saw the movie. But that's
what made me like it so much as at at
least for that time lifts me out of it. This time,
I was just a much better mindset and everything, so
it was definitely fun all around.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
There.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
Played some magic this weekend. And when you play magic,
I guess if you're fortunate like me to play magic
and have a pod, which is in our case about
ten to twelve people to get together and play magic,
it's the people. We all play magic, and I want
a game versus like the two best people in our pod.
So I was like totally stoked about that. So yeah,

(01:50):
all that, have a pretty good week, Dave.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
How about you? I am doing okay.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
I think I think I told you yesterday you said
you're going to see move and I somehow was roped
into helping my girlfriend paint. So no shade on her
because I offered to help. But yeah, let's we spent
a good amount of time yesterday painting. And then the
funny thing was that what you called had, we ordered dinner,

(02:17):
and then we what you called had We go up
to bed and it's nine o'clock. It's not that late,
but we were both tired and we're.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
Just laying there.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
We're talking a little bit, and then she's, but her
eyes were closed, and she said, do you mind if
I just turned the light out?

Speaker 1 (02:30):
And I'm like, Noah, go ahead, and then she was out,
like boom, flat out.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
I stayed up for a little bit playing games on
my phone and then I went to sleep, so regardless, regardless,
So obviously we were both up pretty early today and
then went to had breakfast and whatnot, and she's, you
want to.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
Go to Ikea.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
Okay, for those who've never been on ike it's like
it sucks up at least your whole afternoon. You can't
just go in Ikea, get something quick, and run out
like it's the story is not.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
You have to stay.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
You have to stay in your own lane and only
go with a certain direction.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
Yep, yeah, it's laid out to And we didn't even
go in the showroom.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
We just went down to like where they sell all
the shot skis and house home goods and stuff. But
even then you still have to walk through a particular path,
like you go on the entrance and you have to
go through the whole thing to get to the exit.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
You can't just like any normal store, just go down
the aisle.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
I want to go to grab the thing you want
and now, yeah, so.

Speaker 3 (03:27):
What do you think he happens if you don't follow
those rules? Have you seen anything like Ninja's come out?

Speaker 2 (03:33):
Where do you think they get their Swedish meatballs from?
Other than that, really haven't done much. I haven't really
watched much, really.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
Much going on unless you're a CEO with an ugly
girlfriend at Oh my God.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
Yeah, I guess there's the two stories that caught everyone's
interest in social media this this week you had ceo
who was cheating on his wife with the one of
the hr people at his job at a Cold Play concert.
The funny thing about it, I've said this repeatedly, like,
first off, okay, let me say this first off and foremost,

(04:07):
if you have a problem with the person that you're
in a relationship with, you end the relationship and then
go start a new one.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
You don't cheat. It's just stupid.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
But having said that, he made it a thousand times worse.
If the camera just panned on them and they if
he just kissed her and it would pan to the
next couple. But he ducks down behind the people in
front of all. Yeah, she turns around and is like acting, go,
you can't see, so that's why it went on social media,
and that's why it became a story, like knowing what

(04:36):
it cared and thought anything of it. You're not gonna
post a video of another couple kissing on social.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
Media, but they do that. It's ooh, something's going on there.

Speaker 3 (04:44):
Yeah, I don't know what the thought process was there, because, yeah,
if you are cheating, and I'm like you, I've never
done that anytime. I was just done with somebody, we
just broke up. I just integrity is a big thing.
But anyway, but if you're gonna do that and you
get caught by a kiss cam and then you go
to die just a camera, you might as well hold
up a sign that says, hey, I'm a cheater and
you caught me, in which case you just shouldn't have

(05:06):
Like you said, you shouldn't have moved anyway. And yeah,
in today's age, everybody has cameras, everybody has video cameras.
Pause is a thing. So did you really think you
were gonna flash your way bury all in your way
out of the camera site or so.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
Weird?

Speaker 3 (05:24):
Yeah, but guess what, he probably makes at least seven figures.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
A year, So yeah, that is unfortunate. Someone said, though,
I was like, it was so stupid then. And it's
like someone was like, Oh, he's a CEO, don't you
think he's smart. I'm like, no, being smart has nothing
to do Being a CEO has nothing to do with
being smart. It's being able to sell yourself and schmooze people.

Speaker 3 (05:46):
He's cheating. He's going to a public place while cheating. Yeah,
And I don't mean to shame anybody, but I just
when you look at the HR report that he was with,
it just doesn't it doesn't look I don't know, I
just like, wow, for if you have Cindy Crawford. I
know that's an old reference. I don't know who today's
age is super hot, but just yeah, Catherine Sada Jones. Okay,

(06:10):
but come on, it just didn't seem like it was
much of an upgrade. I guess maybe I'm wrong, in
which case, Wow, but.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
Hey, you know what heart once? What's the heart once?
No doubt, and the penis just what happens. And it's
also I feel like when you're cheating on a spouse
with someone you work with, it's more a situation of convenience,
like you're just with that person all the time, so
it's just easy to like have an affair with them.

(06:36):
You're working, we're drunk at a conference together. Yeah, exactly.
There's no real emotion there. It's all carnal pleasure, as
they would say. Did you see the other story that's
been all over social media, especially on the Tiki Time?

Speaker 3 (06:50):
Only the other one I saw was Colbert's show is
getting canceled and but that's yeah, that's the only thing I've.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
Seen that was just like, okay, no, So this is
the anti pasta story. So this woman was from somewhere
in the Northeast I don't remember, let's just say New
York I moved down to Virginia and this she didn't
have any friends or anything, but her son made a
friend in school, so she became friends with the mom

(07:18):
kind of situation. And then there was this the friend's
mom was like, oh, there's a there's like a there's
a neighborhood party or whatever, and I'm inviting you to
come along, and she's okay. And it was at this
couple's house that had the biggest house in the neighborhood
or whatever, and it was like a Fourth of July
barbecue and she made this That's why It's being called

(07:41):
the antipasta story because she made this beautiful antipasta salad
with like tomatoes she grew in her garden. She made
the mazzarella cheese herself. She pickled different vegetables that are
in it, and she bought like this premium Italian meats.

Speaker 1 (07:55):
To put in it.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
And they go to the party and she's like standing
in the kitchen holding it with her. The friend who
invited her to sitting there and she's just trying to
like introduce herself to people whatever, and like the owner
of the house came in. It was like, who are
you and she's go, blah blah blah, invite it me
and he's, I don't remember when he like said something,
leaves and then his mom, the owner's mom, comes in

(08:19):
and goes, why are you in here? This is my
son's house and she's I was invited. Oh, everyone, you're
supposed to be outside. We don't know you. Like they
apparently they were extremely rude to her, so she left
the salad, which apparently the story is they ended up
eating it.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
She left the salad.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
She left the salad and then put a post on
TikTok oh, I've never been so embarrassed in my life.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
I can't believe this. Yeah, she was so upset.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
And then of course the positive they went viral, and
then it was like the couple who did it, they're like, oh,
we were just this wasn't a party. This was just
a gathering of people who knew each other. This is
honestly said. I'm like, that's a party. Yeah, and it's
gotten out of hand. There's like thousands, if not millions

(09:08):
of posts of people chiming in on this thing around TikTok.
It is like the weirdest thing. If you go on
TikTok and search antipasto, you will find a smathering of
videos about this. It's weird with the world lambs onto
and yeah. But yeah, so you you went and saw

(09:29):
Superman again. Did you like it better or worse.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
Than the second view?

Speaker 3 (09:34):
No, I would say the same, which in itself I
think speaks highly of the film. There were things that
I requestioned, which the turn from Superman once they released
the second part of the message, like the whole world
just felt easily turned off.

Speaker 1 (09:51):
Very there.

Speaker 3 (09:52):
Yeah, so that was still but outside of that, it
was just being able to focus on other parts of
the picture. That I wentn't before, So just really paying
attention to people's expressions, and again I think doing that
reinforce like how well acted the movie was noticing like
I know in our last show that you said he

(10:12):
didn't really troll the Snyder He intentionally, I don't think,
but I definitely think he does, particularly with all the
Luther's monkeys that were on the internet doing all the
anti Superman shit. No, this is poking fun at a
couple of things. And the other thing was is the
quote for mister terrific. I think this was a poke
at Frank Millers. Miller's on the goddamn Batman, I don't

(10:35):
need your help. I'm goddamn mister terrific. Oh, I think
that's that's a little rub there. And then focusing on
the background fight when him and Lois were talking and
the Justice Gang are battling the interdimensional imp. I think
he called it, yes, and just being able to focus
on that it was funny. It was just all the
comedy shit was still funny the second time around, and

(10:58):
I even still teared up a little bit the second
time around.

Speaker 2 (11:01):
Yeah, man, Yeah, because I wanted to bring it up
because as of this stream it has made four hundred
and six point eight million worldwide, as they would say,
dwarfing the opening of Man of Steel, dwarfing all the
other every DCEU movie, And they are saying that it's
on its way. If it stays on its current track,

(11:22):
it'll probably end up making eight hundred million dollars.

Speaker 3 (11:25):
Which is like one and a half billion pre COVID.
It gets already. If this is pre COVID, I think
this would have already been a billion.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
This is the thing that that what I'm finding most
fascinating about this is, first off, the Snyder Bots are
still out there. I actually had I was in a
DCEU Snyder Verse group because I was curious about them.
I had to leave the group because it got it's
getting out of hand. They'll create a meme comparing the
opening weekend of Superman to the entire theatrical run gross

(11:55):
of Man of Steel and go ha, it failed. And
that's not how that that's not how math works. If
you compare the opening weekends, Superman did better. So it's
just what are you doing? And like they just you
would point that out and someone else would I would comment,
and someone else would just say something stupid.

Speaker 1 (12:11):
I'm like, Okay, I'm done, I'm out. This is stupid.

Speaker 2 (12:13):
Let it go already, And they're in other groups that
I'm in two, which makes it worse. But then I
see posts from I want to call it mainstream. I
don't think I've seen articles on mainstream media talking about this,
maybe one where it's oh, even though it's broken all
these records, it's still going to struggle to make money.
And it's just is that really does that make sense anymore?

(12:35):
I remember when the first Spider Man movie made three
hundred million dollars, and granted it was twenty three years
ago at this point, but it was like, oh my god,
like this is the biggest movie ever. Nothing will ever
be bigger than this. But now we've had movies that
have made a billion dollars. Every movie isn't going to
make a billion dollars, And I feel like maybe there's

(12:56):
things like they wouldn't talk about, Oh, it's got to
make this much to break even, and it's got like
they would They never talked about that. It was always
just the pure this is how much it made, so
it's a blockbuster. But now everyone wants to break down like,
oh it has to make this much to break even,
and I feel like there are things we're not taking
into consideration as well. Like one, yes, inflation, inflation has

(13:18):
gone nuts, especially the last four years since COVID, which
so tickets are more. But then what all these people
the movie companies are making is probably a lot more.
And then these movies do cost more to make in
a sense because of now they have all these special
effects and they outsourced the twenty effects companies as opposed

(13:40):
to just doing it all in house. I don't think
people don't talk about as much. Star Wars, Industrial Light
and Magic did everything, but it was all done in house.
It wasn't like, oh, we got twenty effects companies. Now
it's oh, we need this little effect. We don't have time,
but we have. We set this date to release this movie,
so we got to outsource this one effect and then
we have to outsource this effect the someone else, because
which I think ends up inflating the budgets of these

(14:03):
movies a ton, because I am sure that these contractors
are not cheap. I mean, like, I feel like that's
one of the things the snyderbots are glamoring onto. It's
going to make between five and seven hundred million dollars
to be profitable. Its okay, it's on its way to
being profitable.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
You're not. This isn't going to stop them?

Speaker 3 (14:22):
Like no, no, yeah, absolutely, financials aside. Let's say it broke,
it breaks even, which again that's that's not happening. But
let's say it did. People like it. People approve of
the start of the new DC universe like they've never
done before. So you have green light. Go yes, So

(14:44):
even breaking even which they've already done. No, this is
a great success financially, conceptually reality. So Snyder Lex Luthor
monkeys be damned. Yeah, the history books will array any
dismershment of this movie.

Speaker 1 (15:02):
No, you're right.

Speaker 2 (15:02):
And that's the thing too, Like most of the people,
I don't think I've seen anyone legitimately criticize this movie
that has either seen it or isn't a snyderbot where
it's just oh, because I saw someone making a complaint
about Superman being weak, and I'm like, you didn't pay
attention to the movie. Like he hadn't lost the fight.

(15:24):
This was the first fight he lost, and it the
only thing that could beat him was a clone of himself.
So it was the same strength but had the advantage
of Lex Luthor studying every move and then feeding him
what fight moves to use. And then once he didn't
have that anymore, he couldn't win. Like then Superman beat him.
So it's just on Crypto was also the wild card.

(15:46):
But it's just like you totally missed that point, Like
sitting there and saying he was weak doesn't make sense.
Because the other thing is someone else pointed this out,
which I was like, oh, yeah, I net even think
about that. When he gets beaten and he goes down
and they heal him, they say that he's only like
an eighty nine percent and they're like, you wait till
your until you're one hundred percent and he's no got
to get back in the phrase. So that's another thing,

(16:08):
Like he's also not at full strength when he goes
back into the movie, he gets the Kryptonite poisoning and
doesn't go back to this fortress of solitude be healed.
He is on his mom and dad's farm. Yeah, exactly
like he wasn't.

Speaker 3 (16:23):
It's what you got to do to Superman, because fucking Superman,
you gotta do the same shit to Professor X or else.
Movie's over.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
That's unless you're Magneto of Juggernaut anyway, because that's one
of the biggest complaints of like Superman Returns. It's boring
because there's no one in the movie that matches his strength,
so there's no one for him to really fight.

Speaker 3 (16:43):
Yeah, people hate Mary sus or mcguffin or Mary Stu's
whatever the fuck.

Speaker 2 (16:48):
Yeah, exactly, weaken him a little bit so he has
a struggle and then you get a hero's journey, whereas
if he just walks in and can defeat anyone. But
what's the point hookas finally showed up cloaks on. Yeah,
I think it's nuts. It's gonna make its money back,
it's gonna be a success. It's it is a success.
I think people need to let it go and be like,

(17:10):
I'm just happy that we got something decent.

Speaker 3 (17:12):
And I think too, you'll never be able to kill
the fact that it's a good movie.

Speaker 1 (17:17):
I think the biggest joy.

Speaker 3 (17:18):
Still laughed at all the jokes.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
Good stuff.

Speaker 2 (17:21):
And I'm gonna say this too, and I've said it before,
the biggest mistake that all the movie companies made was
agreeing to put stuff on streaming. Within what is it
thirty five days now or sixty days, forty five, whatever
it is. That was the dumbest move ever, because a
lot of people are now just I'm not sure about

(17:42):
this movie, so I'll.

Speaker 1 (17:43):
Wait forty five days. Save me.

Speaker 2 (17:45):
Oh Cassan just came back from super Con. From one
nerd fest to this one. All right, nerd Fest, Yes
like it? Oh wait, but hold on. He there was
a type of see my brain corrected to the nerd fest,
but he says nerd feet. All right, that's enough, let's go.

Speaker 2 (19:26):
Oh man, I knocked it all Caddy Wampus. Oh Man,
Spidey got knocked off and I was trying to fix
him real quick, and I knocked the whole thing out of.

Speaker 1 (19:36):
Out of shape. Oh my god. Oh.

Speaker 2 (19:38):
I also wanted to mention that people might have noticed
the show was back on the podcast platforms. I finally
posted one of the episodes after thirty some episodes. I'm
going to try to get back to posting it a
couple of days. I'm not going so, but I will
say that I posted the Superman review, and there won't.

(19:59):
I'm not going to go back and post the ones
I missed, so if you did. If you're an audio
listener and you missed those episodes, go to our YouTube
channel check.

Speaker 1 (20:08):
Out the past episode you missed. What does this say?

Speaker 2 (20:11):
Okay, hold on, did you guys hear that FIGI has
committed to changing the cast Tony Stark.

Speaker 1 (20:16):
And the X Men after Secret Invasion?

Speaker 3 (20:18):
Tony I think being Secret Wars because he's cast is doomed.

Speaker 1 (20:23):
Stupid.

Speaker 3 (20:23):
But yeah, I have heard this, and I it makes sense. Yeah,
it's going to.

Speaker 1 (20:27):
Happen, and before you become a grandfather.

Speaker 3 (20:30):
Okay, probably maybe I got a shot. Hopefully my oldest sixteen.
You don't want that. Yeah, no, you don't. You don't
want a sixteen year old. No knocketting up a sixteen
year old. It's not a fun time. But no, I
have kids. That was twenty eight. Ay, we have time
for that way way into video games and nerd shit
indeed playing. Yeah yeah, so hen so I was able

(20:52):
to wait till twenty eight because with all those hobbies,
I wasn't exactly a catch.

Speaker 1 (20:57):
Ah, don't be so hard on yourself.

Speaker 3 (20:59):
Speaking of Oh I did fine.

Speaker 2 (21:01):
Casting in rumors and whatnot. Apparently there's a new rumor
that Chris Evans is going to be in Doom's Day
Like this keeps popping up over and over again. This
was on My Time to Shine Hello podcast to report
from My Time to Shine Hello and reportedly one hundred
percent back it Avengers Doomsday.

Speaker 1 (21:22):
So the rumor be proven.

Speaker 2 (21:23):
This would make him the third actor to appear of
all MCU Avengers movies. Oh yeah, I guess it would be.
I don't know, Like they keep saying it and it
makes you go, maybe it's true, But I don't see
how they can other than it's a other universe. Steve
Rogers and I really hope they don't do the evil
Captain Hydra, But I don't know, what do you think

(21:45):
that'll help sell tickets?

Speaker 3 (21:47):
I don't know how to help sell tickets. But I
definitely think it's happening. Yeah, because when hey, it just
makes sense. We're in the multiverse now, right, So yeah,
if it's going to happen, it's going to happen. It's
gonna happen here. Yeah, because the aforementioned this is going
to be the reboot. I did read something today that
they're pretty much being upfront about. Yeah, after the Secret

(22:08):
Wars were rebooting, everything going to one timeline. And the
last time Chris Evans, after he had quit Captain America,
he was in interviews. He was very adamant about moving
on from the character. But then he came back as
Johnny Storm for Deadpool and Wouverine and yeah, so I
it's been a while since he's played Captain America. But again,

(22:30):
I think we are going to get more of a
twist with Captain Hydra. So I think this is happening.

Speaker 1 (22:36):
Yeah, that was mentioned in the article.

Speaker 2 (22:38):
Oh he said he was done with the MCU and
then he came back for dead Pool wolver Yeah, Okay.

Speaker 3 (22:44):
Oh look at that. Someone didn't stick to their word,
would you look at here?

Speaker 1 (22:49):
I think his argument was.

Speaker 2 (22:51):
I think his argument was, I said I was done
with Captain America and I came back as Johnny.

Speaker 1 (22:55):
Storm, and then I was killed off as Johnny Storm.
Tied up his loose end.

Speaker 2 (22:59):
Well, see let's hold the street Fighter article for the
last because I think this ties into what we just said. So,
Jack Shriver, who was the Jake Schriver, the director of
The Thunderbolts as we all know, is rumored to be
the director of the MCU's X Men movie, and he
was in an interview with Coming Soon and basically he's

(23:23):
it was avoiding questions, And then on comic book dot
Com they were asking him questions about the X Men
and basically said, I plead the fifth, wouldn't He refused
to answer anything instead of just saying, oh, this is
fresh news. I don't have a script or anything yet.
It's just I'm not going to talk about it at all.
As an X Men fan, Is that what you want?
Or do you want to know something about what's going on?

Speaker 3 (23:46):
I don't want to know anything unless it's absolutely going
to happen, and it is so early in this process. Yeah,
that I doubt that there's anything that he could say
that is without certainty going to happen at such time.
So I don't want him to spill any beans or
paint himself into the corner. So I absolutely agree. There

(24:10):
are so many amendments. Which ones shall you choose? fIF one, two, three, four, five,
fifth for you Chapelle Show fans, So yeah, please don't
let these fuckers make you say dumb shit that then
if you have to change and they'll come back and
call you a piece of shit for being wrong.

Speaker 1 (24:28):
Good on him, Good on him. I just knock spid
it completely off.

Speaker 3 (24:32):
Oh, you most certainly did.

Speaker 1 (24:34):
I will fix that in a second. I'll figure, well,
maybe I'll bring Darth Don on a guy. I agree.

Speaker 2 (24:39):
It's funny because I was talking to my girlfriend's oldest
yesterday as he was helping us the paint, and she's
actually going to see Superman again tonight, and he made
an interesting point. He's I want to see Fantastic four,
but I feel like they showed us all of the
plot points, they showed us all of the twists and turns.
He's not sure he wants to go to the theater
to see it.

Speaker 1 (24:59):
Now.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
They showed us Galactus, they showed a silver surfer, they
showed us the what Galactus wants? You saw that right,
What Colactus wants to not eat the Earth is Franklin Richards.
In fact, that was in that right, That was in
the trailer they showed before Superman. So it's like, what
what is left to be a surprise? And I feel like, unfortunately,
I feel like that's a move of a desperate company

(25:23):
that like wants to make sure you're gonna go see
the movie. So they're gonna they're putting all their tables out,
all their tables, all their cards out on the table
to go, oh, don't you want to see this? It'll
be cool? So but why should I go see it?
You told me already like what it's gonna be. I
don't know what do you think about that?

Speaker 3 (25:38):
I believe that if you have belief in your execution,
then okay, maybe telegraphing right. So if you're good enough
football team, it doesn't matter if you're going to say, up,
we're going to run it right between the right guard
and right tackle, because if that right guard and right
tackle and whatever lead blocker after that is good enough,

(26:00):
you're gonna be able to do exactly that.

Speaker 1 (26:01):
So I do take.

Speaker 3 (26:03):
This as them, yes, enticing us to come into the theater.
But I do think that they're gonna they believe in
their execution. And I for one, am glad that I
know going into this that not only are we going
to get Franklin Richards, but that Galactus wants him, because
that tells me that I just I guess I wouldn't

(26:25):
expect that. So if I didn't know ahead of time
and I didn't have the time to digest it, maybe
I wouldn't react so positively when I'm like, oh, this
Fantastic four movie is all just oh, Franklin Richards is
the important one, all of a sudden. Yeah, But Franklin
Richards is like the most important one, doesn't have as

(26:46):
much history as the Fantastic But when it comes to
the grand scheme of things, Franklin Richards is a crazy
important character in the Marvel multiverse. True, and that's what
it's all about, And that's what it's all about, especially
if they've all already talked about this whole Doomsday Secret
Wars being a giant reboot of the universe. We got
the female suits Silver Surfer, like, we're not being introduced

(27:09):
to the Fantastic Four and Doctor Doom and Silver Surfer
that we actually know and want for the most part.
But we're in the multiverse. I don't know. They're they're
trying to give us the Fantastic Four, but maybe not
the Fantastic Four we want.

Speaker 1 (27:24):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (27:24):
Yeah, it's why the multiverse sucks. But here we are,
so I think they're going to execute though. I think
it's going to be interesting. I'm interested to learn why
exactly galactis although it makes sense. Hey, yeah, fuckers, you
birth the kid that could undo everything and I can't
exactly let that happen. So give them up or I'm
just gonna fuck you all. Okay, that's interesting. I guess

(27:47):
it is. It's interesting.

Speaker 2 (27:49):
Yeah, I guess we'll have to wait and see, which
we don't have to wait long comes out next week, So.

Speaker 1 (27:54):
There we go.

Speaker 3 (27:55):
I know, batter up next one Marvel year turn. You
gotta have a good follow up and ship.

Speaker 1 (28:03):
God, they should have gave him more breathing room.

Speaker 2 (28:05):
I think, what are you gonna do? All right, let's
see what else we got to talk about. Oh and
this was just stupid. Speaking of Fantastic four, I'm just
throwing this out there real quick. I don't know why
I included it, but we already talked about the Fantastic Four,
So there will be two after credit scenes. Yeah, make
sure you stay for both boys and girls. I'll remind

(28:25):
you again on Wednesday. Let's see what the great question?
Would that name Galactus? Would that make? Would that name
Galactus the good guy? I think he means make Galactus
the good guy. He's trying to disarm a weapon of
mass destruction, just like George.

Speaker 3 (28:40):
The thing is, that's the thing about Galactis is I
know we all know him as a bad guy. He
wants to eat the Earth and everything, but they have
revealed he's like an anti celestial Yeah, dude, so he's not. Yes,
I don't about good guy, but he's not as.

Speaker 1 (29:02):
Bad as you think.

Speaker 2 (29:03):
If one planet is lost in the struggle, it's just
collateral damn.

Speaker 1 (29:09):
Yeah right.

Speaker 3 (29:09):
Uh Hey, your grandma of Tarkin and the death story,
got it? You gotta all right, Palpatine.

Speaker 1 (29:15):
We'll find out. We'll find out in a few days.

Speaker 3 (29:17):
Dart Down wants your email address.

Speaker 2 (29:20):
And then the last news before we get to the
fan the Street Fighter Beyond the Spider Verse has been
delayed yet again. It is still coming out in twenty
twenty seven, but from June fourth to June twenty fifth.

Speaker 1 (29:32):
I don't know why they moved it back to the
end of June.

Speaker 2 (29:36):
I don't know what three weeks is going to buy
them when it's a year and a half or two
years away at this point. But yeah, I mean that
that whole thing Sun says the Empire was honest. That
whole thing is so annoying because they lied and said
they had made both Into the Spider or Across the
Spider Verse and Beyond the Spider Verse at the same

(29:57):
time so they could release them one year art and
then all of a sudden it was like, nah, we
didn't actually do the third one, even though we ended
on a cliffhanger. And then apparently like the animation studios
had a big uproar because they weren't giving enough time
to actually work on the animation properly, and now everything

(30:17):
has been majorly delayed. As what, I don't any think
you still have an interest to see the did you
see the first two?

Speaker 3 (30:24):
Nope? Had at all not into him at all. I
know the kids love him. Sony's kind of fucking up
an opportunity. Oh yeah, because those kids are growing up.
And at the same time, I also just read something
today that was just basically reiterating that they actually cannot
have Miles Morales in the MCU at all, which is
pretty disappointing because in the comics. I know I mentioned

(30:47):
this on the show, but he is the one that
kind of helps convince macal media Man to stop aiding
Doctor Doom and to switch sides and aid read Richards
and the all whole thing. I know, it's it's weird
that their protagonist should be involved in this and it's not.
And then he doesn't even have the Spider Verse shit
going on.

Speaker 1 (31:08):
So too many Miles on that Morales's thron go son.
I don't think they lied.

Speaker 2 (31:13):
I think they had much of the storyboard done but
had to undergo a lot of revisions. Possibly, I don't know.
It just it's one thing, but when did Okay hold on?
When did the second one come out? Wasn't It was
one of the first movies I saw after the pandemic.
I thought, so, I'm trying to think we're now going
on three years. I think across the Spider Verse. I'm

(31:34):
just looking for the release date it is. Where's the
release date? Twenty twenty three, so two years since that
came out, and then so it'll be four years between movies, which,
like I get it, if we go back, go back ten, fifteen,
twenty years ago, maybe more wasn't a big deal to

(31:54):
have that much of a break between sequels. But nowadays,
when you especially when you end on a cliffhanger, people
expect it like the next yearne or two years.

Speaker 1 (32:04):
Okay, wait, because says he takes it back. Nothing should
take four years to produce Day Alive.

Speaker 2 (32:08):
Yeah, if it was just again, if it was just Edits,
I don't think it would be four years. I think
it would be maybe two years. And when they're pushing
it back again, it means they're not even like close
to done.

Speaker 1 (32:19):
Yeah, and again it's weird.

Speaker 2 (32:21):
It's just moving it from the beginning of June to
the end of June. Like that's probably not a that's
not a they need time thing. That's a oh, they
realized they're going out against something in twenty twenty seven.
That's they won't do well, so let's move the date.

Speaker 1 (32:33):
Did you know that?

Speaker 2 (32:34):
And I wonder if this effects I don't think it
affects so any movies. But Disney's got a weird rule where,
because they have multiple studios now under them, you can't
release two movies the same month. So if there's a
live action Little Mermaid and a Marvel movie coming out,
they have to be released in separate months. They cannot
be released in the same month because they don't want

(32:55):
to compete with it. But I get it, they don't
want to compete with themselves. But yeah, so I wonder
if they because even though it's Sony, the character in
the ultimately is still owned by Marvel. I wonder if
they it affects them.

Speaker 1 (33:09):
Huh good. I don't know. I didn't look deeply into
what was coming out in twenty twenty seven. Maybe I
should have done that, all right?

Speaker 2 (33:15):
And finally, did you know that they're making a live
action another live action Street Fighter movie?

Speaker 1 (33:21):
You're the game? I did? I did?

Speaker 3 (33:23):
I did because oh yeah, oh and Street Fighter too
was I can still remember when that first came out
in the arcade, I was obsessed with the Blanco character.
I was never good at it, so it's your way,
you get up there and some other dude kicks your ass.
So that was just the way arcades were back then.
So yeah, big Street Fighter two fan, I started seeing
casting shit trickle down, like I was like, oh, Roman

(33:46):
Reigns is a Kuma, Okay, I guess I see it whatever,
And I did see, and I didn't believe it at
first till you had given the information in our email
with that Cody Rhodes being cast as Guile. Saw him like,
oh boy, two wrestlers cast in this, So I'm in
the process of dismissing it, but you brought it up,

(34:07):
and I looked at the rest of the casting, and
I definitely have thoughts. But this is certainly on my
radar now. And of course they got a Mortal Kombat
two movie coming out, so it's funny we're getting these
nineties fighting franchise movies the second round because both of
these had the movies released in the nineties as well.
But yeah, I don't know if I'm excited, but I'm

(34:27):
definitely interested. Has an interesting cast, though it really.

Speaker 1 (34:30):
Doesn't that's the thing you said, Blanco.

Speaker 3 (34:33):
Yeah, so Blanca is is gonna It's gonna be played
by Jason mob which totally makes sense, right, So that's
like spot on, right, Yeah, sens Balrog Okay, I don't
know if this sent's a little bit older, but whatever.
We I'm the proponent of casting older guys and brushing
shit up in post. Yeah, a big question mark for

(34:53):
me again other than two wrestlers, like really are they actors?
But anyway, David, that's malf Shane and whatever. He played
Poka Dot. He played the Polka Dot guy that man. Yes,
he is playing m Bison. The last person to play
m Bison was the actual one bright spot of the

(35:13):
original Street Fighter movie, which was Raal Julia. Yeah, a
very good actor before he unfortunately passed away. Did the
movie because yeah, it was goofy, but he wanted to
do his first kids. They liked the game, right, Yeah.
Now the Polka Dot man, Yeah, I don't it's either
gonna be ha hole or absolutely wonderful.

Speaker 1 (35:31):
He was in Dune. Yeah, I saw that.

Speaker 2 (35:34):
He was the voice of calendar Man and some of
the Batman animated movies. He's so. He was John Deacon
in the Weird l. Yankovic movie. Did you see that?
It's like one of the best, long time ago, one
of the best. But no, it wasn't that long ago.
What was it? UHF, No, I'm talking about weird the

(35:54):
Al Yakovic story two.

Speaker 3 (35:57):
With Daniel Radcliffe.

Speaker 1 (35:59):
I see that. Yes, I do need to see that.
So yeah, like that. Yeah, that was a funny meet.
So he's been in a lot.

Speaker 2 (36:06):
He has the acting chops sure, right, like to ral
Julie's big boots to fill one of the most him
and chung Ley And it's like Chung Lee was what's
your face.

Speaker 1 (36:15):
From the Mandalorian?

Speaker 2 (36:17):
Right, yes, the Mandalorian and of course the Agent of Shield.
But like this, that that speech where it's like you
came in and you said, I came in and I
decimated your village and I killed your family and blah
blah blah. For me, it was Tuesday.

Speaker 3 (36:33):
We get the line is exactly the day that Avice
and came into your life the greatest dage. But yeah,
for me it was Tuesday.

Speaker 1 (36:43):
Yeah, Like that's the funny thing. That's that.

Speaker 2 (36:46):
Are we going to get dialogue like that in this movie?
I hope not because that was a little over the top,
don't you think.

Speaker 3 (36:52):
Oh a lot of that movie. I went to the
theaters to see that because I was a big, big
fan of Street Fight or two, and I didn't even
hate it. Actually also didn't hate the Mortal Kombat ship,
but again, I was just a big gamer back then,
so it was as fun as hell. But yeah, he's
flying around with the Superconductor Boots and John Claude, Van
dam Is Gyle and all his lines. Yeah, so they

(37:14):
can they I could see this being a really cool movie.
I really could against some of these castings.

Speaker 1 (37:20):
L Orvell, Pacas, Vega.

Speaker 3 (37:23):
A lot of these people I don't know, and that's cool,
But I know the wrestlers, I know the Polka Dot
man guy, Jason Momo again fifty cent. What's really funny
is they also got the character of Dan. Yeah, Andrew
Shall playing Dan Hibiki. Dan's a joke character, but AnyWho, Yeah, and.

Speaker 1 (37:42):
He's always met He's been mentioned last and a lot
of the listings.

Speaker 2 (37:45):
So I feel like it's gonna be like some kind
of a joke. It's not going to be a serious.

Speaker 3 (37:50):
Yeah, so it has to be like a Kuma is
gonna I don't know, fucking dragging up or cut his
head off or something. Yeah, Roman Reigns is. I love Akuma.
Kuma was like my favorite street fighter character and played
by Roman reigns. I will see man. It could be good.
Hopefully it's not like the shitty Mortal Kombat movies and
I or the move. Only one of the movie is out,

(38:12):
of course, we get the advertisements for the second one.

Speaker 1 (38:15):
We'll see Haruki Goto. I hope I'm pronouncing that correctly.

Speaker 2 (38:20):
Is an actual Sumo is an actual Suma record and
he's playing I Honda.

Speaker 1 (38:24):
Yeah, that's cool, exactly.

Speaker 2 (38:26):
It's so interesting this cast, like they have actual fighters
playing some of the characters, actual martial artists, and then
they've got fifty cent what you call it ball rog.
You've got Jason Momoa playing Blanco, which is no, it
doesn't feel like a role that would need a lot
of acting, but what are they gonna do with the character?
And then Cody Rhodes playing Guile that was famously played

(38:50):
by Jean Claude van Dam in the original, which I
thought was supposed to be what led legitimacy to the movie.
Oh Fran says that they loved Superman by the way,
him and his wife awesome ral Julia eight during the.

Speaker 1 (39:04):
Lurgy straight fighters.

Speaker 3 (39:06):
Right now, I remember the quote now the day you
meant and Bison was the most important day of your
life to me, it was that's the end.

Speaker 1 (39:13):
I want to say, of course cameo and why not?
And why not do like those hips? Oh yeah, it's
the hips, not the butt.

Speaker 3 (39:21):
But both her Aunt Chunley her Andy are both built
like a.

Speaker 1 (39:24):
Brickshit you have to be if you're a street fighter.

Speaker 3 (39:27):
That's probably so enduring for a woman to hear, like
a brick shit house.

Speaker 1 (39:31):
Yeah, I'm mildly interested.

Speaker 2 (39:34):
Again, it's saying sometime in twenty twenty seven, there's no
was it or twenty twenty six?

Speaker 1 (39:39):
Hold on, this is on the deadline article twenty twenty six.

Speaker 2 (39:44):
Okay, so sometime in twenty twenty six, no hard release
date yet. They just announced the cast. We know nothing
about the script.

Speaker 3 (39:50):
Unlike Mortal Kombat, it doesn't have a complicated lore true,
so they really can just give us something fun here.
Just don't give me some all or Special Forces. No,
give me street fighter. This is an illegal, unsanctioned tournament
where people literally travel around and yeah, it's just some

(40:12):
down low, fucking cool martial arts.

Speaker 2 (40:14):
Tournamentron says they're using a script we don't know yet, right,
who needs that?

Speaker 1 (40:20):
Yeah? So I am Sigott.

Speaker 3 (40:23):
Though I would be the one only character I'm seeing
here that I'm like, uh missing. We got Dan, but
no mention of Sigat. So that's the big bald guy
with the eye patch that goes Tiger Tiger.

Speaker 1 (40:35):
I mean it's yeah, because you got Vega and Bison.

Speaker 3 (40:38):
Yeah, although having a Kuma in the very first street
Fighter is something we'll have to see though. Saga is
like a big rival of Reus, but Akuma is a
bigger rival.

Speaker 2 (40:52):
Oh wait, and then the Russian guy, right, I don't
think Yeah, yeah, yeah right, so we sh'll see Yeah.

Speaker 1 (41:01):
Interesting.

Speaker 3 (41:02):
I'm sure there will be more unless they don't want
to do anything with Russia.

Speaker 1 (41:05):
I'm sure they don't care.

Speaker 2 (41:07):
You know, I've given this cast and the fact that
it's how many years later.

Speaker 1 (41:12):
I know street Fighter is.

Speaker 2 (41:13):
Still a big game for a lot of people, but
how many years later since the first movie they just
did like no woke street Fighter. Let's do it, all right,
I'm sure we'll see it when it comes out.

Speaker 1 (41:23):
I'm sure we will review it right here on this podcast.
So until that time, let's ask that question that we
do whenever.

Speaker 3 (41:31):
What do we learn on the show.

Speaker 1 (41:34):
Tonight or do you have any recommendations. What do you
got firs stuff?

Speaker 3 (41:38):
I learned that fifth reference will also get my fifth
amendment there, so thank you for that, Bron. As far
as recommendation, I've also not been watching anything other than
my second go of Superman. Haven't do live in a
capitalist society unfortunately is all about the money. And if

(41:58):
you truly want to support something, and I wanted to
proiferate and continue, then you got to feed it cash.
Go see Superman. If you haven't already, go see it
again already. Oh you froze or did I freeze? And
our I don't know. Oh, it looks like maybe thrown
kill could be hinting at or we're gonna do a
Happy Gilmore to watch. I don't know. I don't know

(42:20):
if I want to, he said. He just said, I
learned that it's all in the hips, which is a
Happy Gillmore reference. But there's a Happy Gilmore movie coming out.

Speaker 1 (42:26):
You said it's all about the hipswoo Cami.

Speaker 3 (42:28):
Oh, I got, but maybe we will watch. I don't
know what we're gonna. I have to talk about a
little bit because or think about it. Because I love
Happy Gilmore, just I love coming to America and so
it's I don't I don't know about these sequels, so
I don't know, and.

Speaker 2 (42:46):
It's a it is a strike to Netflix and it
comes out. Hold on what's today's date. It comes out
in five days, so oh.

Speaker 3 (42:54):
We can't talk about that and fantastic No.

anything this week. It's been like I said at the
top of the show, it's busy. We didn't even watch
an episode of what you call it this week? Oh

the show. Yes, ted Lasso. We didn't even watch an
episode of ted Lasso this week. We were been busy.
