Speaker 1 (00:18):
Everybody, and welcome, he speak, I'm your host, Dave and
and tonight, boys and girls, we're gonna piss a lot
of people off. That's my goal. That's always We're going
to see what happens. So we're gonna talk. I'll tell
you right off the top of the thing. I didn't
know what to talk about. So we're gonna talk Star Wars.
We had a couple of Star Wars articles that popped
up in the last couple of days, new actors coming
(00:41):
into the fold, and the fiftieth aniversary news, and somebody
settled with Lucasfilm, so I think we need to talk
about that a little bit. And then we also got
some what else that I have on the docket? Hold on?
Oh yeah, we got a little bit of confirmation about
Spider Man. I don't know if I believe it or not.
We'll talk about that the new a brand new day,
(01:01):
and then Superman joins ice. I figured, if we're gonna
go full blown, let's do this, let's talk about that
a little bit. And of course we got some Highlander
doing that yay closely, so that should be good. So yeah,
all that being said, we're ready to go. Caissan's here, ca, son,
You're gonna be pissed off. I think no, I think
a son increases. With all right that being said, how
(01:23):
are you doing, sir?
Speaker 2 (01:24):
I'm doing okay. I've had a frustrating day a little bit.
I own a truck truck and we got back from
Vaka and we started off the truck and it sounded
really loud, and so today I was like, okay, I'm
gonna crawl up under there and see if I can't
figure it out. And lo and behold, there is what
seems to be pretty straightforward thing with two pipes that
(01:45):
are held together by a bolt and on flange, and
for whatever, the bolts are broke still in the threads
and everything, but they're fucking So I take it over
to my brother in law's house, who also has a pool,
so the rest of the family gets to go in
the pool. Well, I use is because I don't have
a big enough jack. I get a torch. I try
to get this shit out. It just it won't come out,
(02:05):
and it sucks. But I can't mess with it too
much because it's actually I've got like a warrantine stuff.
I was trying to save one hundred dollars deductible and
I can't bolt together two pieces of exhaust, but that
ain't happening, So that's frustrated. But the truck actually sounds
way cooler, so like my son and I don't fix it.
(02:26):
But no, it's a bit much. And but on my
way home from that, I saw DeLorean, So I know
that's not the greatest thing ever, but it doesn't happen
every day. It doesn't happen a lot. Yeah, Oh that's cool.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Was there a kid in like an orange riving it?
Speaker 2 (02:43):
I couldn't see inside. It was wed They are very low. Yeah,
my truck is very high. That high, but anyway, I
could not tell. Actually, all right, there you go. How
about you, Dave, how's you're half a week? Ben?
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Okay? I got busy. I'm the on call person at work,
so work was busy, and then they decided last minute
to do maintenance yesterday, to do the maintenance on the weekends,
and of course, being the on call person, I'm responsible
to do what they call it check out. Once they
do the maintenance, I had to go and to make
sure like all the applications launch, we can still connect
to the database and all that fun stuff. And that
(03:17):
was frustrating, but I have to do that on a Saturday.
And then I was done with that, and I'm like, oh,
I guess I'm going to go over to the girlfriends.
She had a crappy week too, and I won't get
into all the details because I won't share her personal
stuff on here, but she's been working on her kitchen
and things have been keeping it from getting done. So
I get over to her and she's we're gonna paint
(03:38):
the trim today, and I'm like, okay. So we painted
the trim and then and then we just got a
couple of strombolts for dinner and then their sun. She
got these appealing stick plastic guitiles to put on the
for the new backsplash that she want to do all
along the back wall.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Okay, I'm with you.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
We were like debating whether or not to do it,
and her son like just started doing it and he
got I want to say, ninety percent of them up
until he got to the stove and the stove's got
to be pulled out and it's getting late and we're like,
we're tired. Well, She's will work on it tomorrow. And
that was that. So it was just like and I
don't know why, because we went to bed pretty early
for us and didn't get up super kind but not
super early. And then she actually took me to Michael's
(04:17):
because I wanted I needed a couple of canvases for
a painting idea I have, and because at first she
was like, oh I I got to this stuff done
to day, I'm like okay, and then I said can
we just because she was driving me home and I
was like, do you need to go to the store
and she's like, no, but we can stop because I
need stuff for dinner for tomorrow. And then I mentioned
Michael's and she's, I guess we can do that. But
the funny thing is we go to Michael's and she's
(04:40):
looking around because she's a woman and she does crafty stuff,
so they have seventy percent off on some of the
spring and summer stuff and she's looking at saying and
I grabbed the canvases right away, and I was ready
to go, and I'm like, uh, okay, I'll sleep and then.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
You signed that check Davy the store, and.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Then we went to the to the grocery store and
I knew, I know what I'm making a meatloaf. Tomorrow.
So I got exactly what I needed to make a
meat loaf, and she like got way more then she
because she's like, oh, I don't really need anything. And
then she got like sodas. She got stuff for her
family for the week, for a couple of things.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
And it's like that man with my wife. Hey, I'm
gonna stop at McDonald's and I'm gonna get a McChicken
and a mcdouble. You want anything, Oh yeah, give me
this meal and I want this on the side, and
then make sure I get this many number of sauces.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
It's just a come on, Oh I hate when they
do stuff like that. Yeah, you get specific with McDonald's
and it's just gonna spit my f.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
That's what I tell her. It's there all the time,
because she is the person that will say the thing
in the restaurant if it's a little bit of a
mistake on my food whatever, I'm gonna barrel through it,
because no way am I sending anything back into that kitchen.
But she is that type. But I always tell her,
let me know how the spit tastes.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
My My late mother in law, I swear every time
we went out to dinner with her. She could never
order off the menu, so she would go through the
whole menu and be like, oh, I want this, but
for this, you have this as a side. Can I
have that sign instead of this? And can you take
this off of it and do this?
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Just like every time?
Speaker 1 (06:23):
And I was always in I don't want to spit
in my food.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
But I don't wanted to hit the floor and then people, yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Hopefully they know not to mess with my food, just hers.
But yeah, it's what are you gonna do? I know
we've already gone to the dark side. It's not good.
It's not good. You know what we're gonna have to
do since they're already here on the dark side of things,
We're gonna have to have Darth Dawn tell you where
you can find more superhero Speak of Dawn. Here.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Must subscribe to superhero Speak if you haven't already. If
you have already, make another account and subscribe again. Also
like this video. While you're on the hollow net, go
(07:19):
to superheroespeak dot com. Find the links to our merch
and purchase one of our shirts. Don't skimp on the shipping,
or else I will trap you in a box with
an agitated gun. Doc named Free Lawson. I would just
(07:43):
force lightning you. We don't have that in the effects budget.
Now back to the show.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
You know what, Speaking of merch, I forgot I did
because I got busy. I did not finish setting up
our t Spring store, not Tea Spring Tea public store.
Hopefully that'll be done for Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
So everyone that got their orders in. That's why it's delayed.
It's day's fault.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
It's always day's fault. Oh and real quick, let's do
our let's do our box office updates. As of the stream,
Superman is at five hundred and seventy eight point eight
million dollars, so we shall see that. I'm pretty sure
it's run out of steam. Oh yeah, they might make
six hundred by the time it gets out of the theater.
I think with twenty two thousand they should are twenty
(08:39):
two million. They should be able to do that. Fantastic
Four did have a big drop off on its second weekend,
but it still managed to get to four hundred and
thirty four zero point two million dollars worldwide. It's the best.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
But listen, if those on successful movies people need to
lose their jobs. That's a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Yeah, yeah, I do you think. We talked about this
obviously a lot that the first off Fantastic Four, it
probably isn't as popular as some of the other characters
that are out there, and I do think people have
lost I don't know if interest is the right word,
but maybe you've lost faith in Marvel, which is funny
because I thought this movie was going to do well
just on the fact that you didn't have to see
everything else to understand what was going on in it.
(09:17):
But maybe the word didn't get out. They should have
marketed that way. Come see a Marvel movie where you
don't have to see anything before that.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Yeah, that that could have been a good marketing ploy.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Absolutely be Casion says those aren't successful movies. I beg
to differ because it was told they haven't given a
clear number for Superman. It said it needed to make
between five and seven hundred million, so obviously it is
between those two numbers. And the report for we talked
about this, it was like three hundred and seventy million
was such a weird number for Fantastic four, and Thron
(09:49):
has a good point. Hello, Thron, Fantastic four was a
one hundred and ninety minute trailer. I didn't feel like
that at times. I told you I talked about in
the review. Are they Is it just like setting us
up for the next big Fate movie, the Doomsday? But
since sree hundred and seventy they've made that.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Again, I don't know how the p encounters work because
there is also a trick in a lot of these
things where they now try to go Did you know
they claimed that Pire Strikes Back never made money? Yeah,
exactly because it's creative accounting, because they don't want to
pay residuals to people, so they claim that the movie's
never made money. But yet obviously it's one of the
most successful movies of all time, but according to their accounting, no,
(10:27):
it's never actually made any money. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
If it's that hard to make money, then how the
heck can they cast Robert Downey Junior? Have you seen?
Or they explained that they didn't show his face and
Fantastic Four because it would have been like half the
budget for the fucking movie just to have them.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Yeah, and there's rumors that that was actually him in
the suit. He just didn't show his face, And I'm like,
why would you do that. Yeah, I don't know. Speaking
of Marvel and confusing things, I don't put a lot
of stock in this, but it's been going around. So
we talked about and the last time I got together.
Is the funny The rumor is that the one actor
in Brand New Day is actually playing Mister Negative. He
(11:06):
actually said in an interview he would love to play
the character. There's been hints in the on set of
Mister Negative. But this article, according to Daniel Richmond, who
is a quote unquote Marvel insider, it's somebody one of
these personalities out there, who Hey, we've talked about this.
How come we're not the Marvel insider. This guy claims
(11:27):
he has all this information and it was like he
tweeted out, I can now tell you that the main
villain of Spider Man Brand New Day is none of
the villains that we heard about, and it is not
Mister Negative. So I feel like I take that with
a grain of salt. But I also look at it
this way. Thrunt says he keeps hearing Jackal.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
It's gotta be bigger than these people that because I
told you when we talked about it, there's no way
this is gonna be lame if that's the villain of
our Spider Man multiverse movie. Come right, it's gotta be
somebody big.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Two things with that again, and I take it with
a grain of salt. But the other thing is he
says the main villain of Spider Man Brand New Day
is none of the villains that we've heard about, and
it's not mister Negative. So that's not saying mister Negative
isn't in the movie. It's just saying he's not the
main villain. And I think that's an important thing to
take away. So again, this could be his originally, like
(12:19):
he's in the movie as his alter ego, and something
happens and by the end of the movie he becomes
mister Negative, setting up the next Spider.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Man before that is mister Positive.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
My son had an interesting theory for the movie, and
I really like this idea, and like we talked about it,
we played off of each other thinking of like how
we could how they could make it work. So the
Punisher is in the movie, right, that's confirmed. John Berthol
has been seen on set. He's been seeing in costume
on set like The Whole Nine and the Punisher hunts
(12:49):
villains what if instead of being the classic, he's hunting
Spider Man down because they don't know if he's a
hero or a big guy. Where they how they introduced it.
What if he is hunting down a villain in New
York City and that villain happens to be Hobgoblin. Ned
leads Hobgoblin and Peter finds out that it's Ned, and
he's trying to stop the punisher from killing his friend
(13:11):
who doesn't know he's his friend. Because that's what I
was saying. Oh, yeah, you could play it off like
he feels isolated that he doesn't have any friends because
he doesn't remember Peter and yet knows he was at
that battle at the Statue of Liberty with Spider Man
and he doesn't know why, and so like he loses
it and he blames Spider Man for not having memories
(13:32):
and takes on the persona of the Hobgoblin to go
after him. And maybe it's mister Negative's corporation that gives
him the serum that makes him the Hobgoblin.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Yeah, that's perfectly plausible. I like it. I'll tell you
what though, And this may have people not like me. Boy,
I never understood. I always thought it was kind of
lame that Spider Man had two Goblin villain I really did.
And it's not even like because it's more of a
psychological thing. Yeah, I just I don't get it. I
(14:04):
mean I get it because it's a historic character at
this point. So that would be cool because I even
have a Spiderman comic Bag of Death of Hobgoblin. I
don't like who this ship, but whatever it was, he is.
But yeah, I don't know his rant about Spiderman villa form.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
But that's what I'm saying. I'm thinking of, like how
you make it work and make it believable, because again,
if he was there on the on the bridge, and
like again he's got these memories of helping Spider Man
make his web flu it, but he doesn't remember who
Spider Man is, and it's like maybe Spider Man did something.
But also Green Goblin was there and he saw a
Spider Man almost killed Green Goblin, so that's his inspiration
to become the Hobgoblin. Yeah, so it's just the thought
(14:43):
it would be interesting that would make a WWE He'll
turn for ned after No Way Home exactly. Yes, Yes,
that would have to give ned a lot of screen time,
and he was close to mt being in the next
film for reporting m O T. I don't know what
else the next close to not being in the next
film from reporting? Oh it's TYPEO. I thought I meant
(15:05):
something true, but again, yeah, thank you. But again it
could just be like how many times did Paul Rudd
say he wasn't in he wasn't ant Man after and
everyone knew he was cast and oh no that's not
true rumors. So yeah, we'll see exactly. People will have
snipers on him. That's gonna spill the beans. All right,
(15:26):
are you ready to get a little political or do
you want to wait till the end?
Speaker 2 (15:29):
I'm done with whatever, man, I'm cool and fun.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
All right. This has been all all over the social
media's people talking about it, and I'm bringing it up
for two reasons. Again, I'm not here's the thing. I
don't care what your political bent is. I don't care
who you voted for in the last election. But it's
interesting that this poor man gets so much hate because
(15:54):
he has come out as a Christian conservative and that
is of course TV's Superman Dean Kane from the nineties.
And I'm not saying that.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
He's another one. He's another one that gets so much
hate because he came out as a Christian conservative. He's
he played Superman, and I'm not saying it was the
greatest Superman TV show of all time because it was hokey.
It was very hokey, but it was very nineties. Yeah,
and the game was Terry Hatcher. So I think that
was a good thing. In the news that he is
joining ICE. And the thing is, when you read through
(16:26):
the articles, he's not actually joining ICE. It's more, Yeah,
he's an honorary member of ICE. So that he's going
to become you know what it is, He's going to
become a figurehead. They're going to use him as like
a recruiting tool.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Does that like check's like a sheriff. Can you imagine that?
Like you think, put your hands up, please come on? Yeah, yeah,
that's just a headline graber.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
So, and we've all seen the meme where it's it's
all the pictures of all the people who've played Superman
and thank you for across all the pictures, thank you
for blah blah blah, except you on his picture bringing
Superman in life. So it's just that's the thing, like
not only okay, fine, you don't like his politics whatever,
but of course this becomes news because of what's going
(17:11):
on in our country and the deportations and whatnot. And
then people start like I saw quite a few people
who I am friends with on Facebook and I didn't
respond to any of them, any of them who are
in work in comics, some who have been guests on
this show and posting stuff like, oh, he's a washed
up bactor and he's just doing this to get attention.
(17:33):
And then if you just google him and look at
his credits, he's been working consistently since the late eighties,
Like he's worked almost every year in something. He just
hasn't been in mainstream things that you've watched. He's done
a lot of Hallmark movies, and he's done some independent
movies and whatnot. He's done a couple of like TV shows,
(17:54):
but you're just not watching those things because he's not
Superman anymore. And I just think it's weird that people
feel like they've got to bash them. I don't know
what's your take.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Yeah, I really the whole bash somebody because of their
political ways, I guess I'll say, or their political leanings.
I just don't subscribe to in general. I don't champion
finding ways to separate yourself from your fellow man. I
believe the opposite. I believe us as humans, as a species,
our strength is working together and for all of our benefit,
(18:26):
we'd be working toward as near as symbios as we can. Nonetheless,
that's one hundred and eighty degrees separate from where we're
at now. And but yeah, I don't get into it.
It's why we don't get terribly political here because I'm
just it's it bores me. I want to read comics
and play video games and roll dice and do fucking
(18:47):
math for fun at er card games. But at the
same time, we have literal genocides happening now and that
we've helped fund. And it's horrible. It's absolutely horrible. Yeah,
we should all be brook, but here I'm part of it,
so I'm not. But with that said, did I vote
for Trump? I did. Here's why I'm a one issue voter.
(19:08):
Are you trying to take one of my rifles away?
And if you are, I can't vote for you. Sorry,
that's it. Otherwise, Yeah, I'm for small government. I want
people to. I want people to be helped, and I
want those that have resources to help those that don't,
but I want the fucking government to do it. They
fuck everything up. I want universal health care, but I
want the fucking government to do it. Here you are,
(19:30):
and so there we are. That's how I feel about
all that. No, he's had a better life than most
of us. So you're just looking for a reason to hate,
and politics is right there and an easy one. But
I don't like it.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Yeah, yeah, And it's funny too, because we could get
a lot more viewers if we got political in all
of our episodes, which is funny because it's I loved
how okay we're here. We're gonna get a little deeper.
Colbert got fired, right, and they're you can't even say fired,
they're just not renewing his contract. And then they're going
to end the show because they came out with numbers
(20:05):
saying that the show was losing forty million dollars a year.
You'ren't going to keep a show going that's losing money.
These advertisers aren't interested in pursuing it. Of course, he's
trying to say he's being persecuted politically when it's just no,
You're like you weren't making money, like you have one
hundred people working for you, and your every episode is
(20:25):
just anti Trump, anti Trump, anti Trump. So people tuned
out because they're tired of hearing it, right, Like the
way you just described yourself is a this is what
I vote on and that's it, and I this is
what I believe. But you're tuned out of a lot
of the other stuff going on in the world. I
think that is the average voter, right. They're not as
tuned into everything that's going on as the mainstream media
(20:46):
tries to say that they are. So the best thing
that came out of all of it, in my opinion,
was Jay Leno saying, yeah, I'd get email. I'd get
letters from conservatives that were pissed off and then about
a joke that I made, And then I would get
letters from liberals about jokes that I make, because like, yeah,
we're gonna upset the fringe people here and there, but
like we didn't. I never wanted to get super political
(21:08):
because you're alienating half of a potential audience, which is true.
That's like a lot of these mainstream shows have done.
They've been like no we don't care about these viewers,
but you want to go because there's been a misconception.
In my opinion, I don't think it's true, is that
most people are liberal and Democrats, and that's not true.
The country's very split down the middle. So again, you're
(21:30):
gonna alienate half your audience. And it's also not even
so much. Again, like I said, it's not hardcore political.
It's just you get tired of hearing the same thing
over and over again from a talk show. And in
my opinion, he did it to himself because of that.
But I can also have a conspiracy theory about it,
but maybe we won't get into that because I could. Yeah,
Thron says that an average voter cares about three issues max.
(21:53):
That's pretty much me. But I'm a small government guy.
I want to get rid of as much of the
government as possible, which is I hate to say it.
I voted for the Orange Man, and it's he's doing it.
He's gotten rid of a lot of stuff, a lot
of the bloat in the government, so I'm happy. I'm
sorry I went. I'm a small government person. The government
has gotten way too big, and that does bring me
(22:14):
to my conspiracy is that USA d ID got defund
it and all of a sudden things aren't are being
looked at as like not making money, or the Democrat
Party lost a lot of money, the DNC lost a
lot of money, and then all of a sudden, Colbert
came out, well, we can't keep him around because he's
losing money. Oh yeah, look, I'm just saying it's a
weird coincidence.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Anyway, Well, there's definitely a backlash because Howard Stern is
being canceled, but I read that they're basically gonna lowball
him and they don't expect him to take the offer.
And the reason that they're doing that is because his
politics of During COVID, he was like, if anyone someone's
not wearing a mask and they give COVID, then the
(22:56):
hospitals and doctor should show him to go home and
fucking die. Oh wow, Okay, I hope though I don't.
I'm not hoping for this big conservative lean now. I'm
hoping that anyone that's getting political just stops getting views
and stuff and let's just talk about entertaining or interesting shit. Yeah,
and not shit that you're making up about the government
(23:18):
or some other political party. To try and stoke up
anger or again just wasted divide it.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Yeah, no, I agree, but that's the thing too, right,
it sells like there.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Are unfortunately yeah, Tim Kane or not Tim Kane. I'm sorry,
Tim Poole. I know this is your dude, but where's
a beanie all the time with headphones and I fucking
see him on billboards now like he's some sort of
authority on anything, and I've seen him prove the opposite.
So but I want to bash your guide to.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
The Funny thing is it's that's true too. And again
there's this concept of hate watching, like somebody hates somebody,
so they're gonna watch them to see what they have
to say. And he does it too. He claims that
he's he doesn't do clickbait and rage bait, but yet
I've seen him bash movies saying, oh, there they went woke,
so that's why they're broke. But you can watch he
(24:09):
clearly didn't watch the movie. So it's just like he
did that with I said that he did it with Superman.
He came out and said Superman is gonna be woke,
it's gonna be stupid, blah blah blah, and then he
went and watched it, and you're like, oh, no, it
wasn't what it was actually really good. So it's just
like you know that you had the original opinion because
you knew it was gonna upset comic book fans and
they're gonna probably it'll come up in their feed because
(24:30):
they're a Superman fan, and they're gonna watch your video
because they're gonna be upset with what you're saying.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Uh oh, PBS. He's basically the PBS shutdown.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Came home, you know, yeah, dependent funds showing there really
wasn't support. It's just forced interactenation. Yeah, Thron, that's my
that's my conspiracy theory because that was other things too.
People hear us AID and they think it's an AID thing,
and it's no, it actually stands for United States, American influence,
a United States something influence termination or whatever. It's about international.
(25:05):
Oh that's what it is, international influence, international influence. Er
So I can't remember that what extends for exactly, but
it's it's not AID. It's like pushing a message in
other countries that we want pushed, an agenda we want
to push, like that was their thing. And people think
heard that, oh, why are we funding people that has
nothing to do with it. I guess since we're already
on the political bent, we'll do this one too. Gina
(25:28):
Carano was in the news as well since Wednesday. She
has settled with Lucasfilm and Disney was at an undisclosed amount.
I don't remember if it said in the article how
much they settled for, but basically it's they were they
settled out of court. But the funny thing is, and
she did say that, oh, here this is goes. Miss
(25:52):
Corano was always well respected by her director's co stars
and staff, and she worked hard to perfect her craft
while treating her colleagues with kindness and respect. Lucasfilm said
in a statement with this lawsuit concluded, we look forward
to identifying opportunities to work together with miss Carano in
the near future. So like that was One of the
(26:13):
things is that she was suing because she got fired
from the Mandalorian because she put a post up that
was again comparing how conservatives are treated to this country
to how the Jewish, some of the Jewish people were
treated during World War Two. Do I agree with that statement? No,
but is there a little bit of truth in that statement.
Sometimes it feels that way.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Also another thing that she did that was antagonistic is
people on Twitter I think it was actually called Twitter
at that time, were wanting her to put her pronoun
in her in her profiles so that she can show
her support for the trans community. And she put beepbop boop.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
That turned into her being anti trans. I think that turned,
in my opinion, that was her being anti Bowli. They
were boying her to put her pronouns in there, and
she was like, no, like, I don't need to do that,
So here's what I'm putting instead, and what's obviously Star
Wars reference, because that's what R two D two would say,
beat bob boop. And it was just like, okay, cool,
(27:15):
good for her, let her do her thing.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
But it's oh, your anti Just look at the Sydney
Sween stuff. Man, that's the problem with the left.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
If you don't agree with us one hundred percent and
do what we say, then you're a terrible person. And
it's just like, no, that's not how life works.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Sounds like a little fascism.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Exactly, And that is why she made the comparison that
she did. And yes, a lot of people got upset
about it. Oh, don't get me started on Sidney Sweeney either. Man,
So an attractive woman doing a jeans commercial, all of
a sudden, that's eugenics. What the fuck.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
People of people that have been hurt in this country.
I certainly admit that I'm not a super patriot in
no way, shape or form. I love the idea of
the United States of America more than I like the
actual reality and execution. Yeah, but yeah, it's a stretching
and again just making up reasons to be divisive.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
There isn't a straight man on this planet who would
kick Cydney Sweeney out of bed. And that's what it's about.
And it's selling genes, period.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
That's I most certainly would kick Sydney Sweeney out of
my bed because I got my gorgeous wife.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Sorry, is she even actually in the room right now?
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Okay, good? Uh? Yeah, yeah. And it was just because
they used jeans and geens, even though there's a commercial
from the eighties that did the same exact thing for
I think it was Calvin Klein or Hugo Boss, one
of them. It's a beautiful woman putting her geens on
talking about genetics, and like having the perfect body on
all this stuff like now it's eugenics. So Bron says, nice,
(28:52):
save your little play there. So yeah, do you think
that they will what's the name of the show that.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
You New Republic Ranger?
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Yeah? Do you think they'll put the New Republic Rangers
back onto the schedule now and bring her in and
still do it?
Speaker 2 (29:08):
I certainly hope so, And I think if they do
it right, they'll be really smart to do because, as
we've discussed on previous shows, people really have an interest
in the in between the return of the Jedi and
a Force awakens, Star Wars time line, time whatever partition. Yeah,
(29:30):
so the New Republic Rangers would happen then, and New
Republic Rangers would give a pretty neat perspective of the
galaxy at that time. So I think they will, particularly
since the statement that you read where they've said, hey,
we look forward to working with their blah blah blah
and people. I enjoyed the character car Doom. I think
(29:54):
Gina Carano plays a perfect car Doom produced to Gina
Carano her role in Deadpool, and I'm a fan for
multiple reasons. Yeah, but loved her in that role and
was really sad to see these dumb shit go down
and that it actually resulted in her. But no, now
I have a lot of hope in seeing Jeene and
(30:16):
Caronto as car doing again, and hopefully they restart the
new Republic Ranger series, because again that's what people want
to see.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Wait, you're a big fan for a lot of reasons.
Is she the one you want to kick out of bed?
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Okay? You know what, Actually my wife knows that I
would not. She we have, she's got her, she's for her.
It's Adam Driver, Like you can officially cheat on me
for free with Adam Driver. What's that sort of we
got one?
Speaker 1 (30:42):
All right? All right?
Speaker 2 (30:44):
That one's okay?
Speaker 1 (30:45):
All ye, Yeah, I think Mayan on my list. It's
hall pass Yeah, that's what. It's hall passed. I think
I think Mayan is a Scarlett Johannes. You will ever
forever be by hall pass a. Right? Is that enough?
Is that enough super le political stuff for one night?
We want to I think, yeah, you sent me a
lot of these. Actually, Matt Smith is going to be
(31:08):
joining Starfighter Star Wars Starfighter in a villain role, so
we've all saw him as a villain in Morbius I didn't.
I was about to say for those who saw more because.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
You Dragon though, it's okay, okay here, well me Lajoovic, Okay,
that's a.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
That's a good hal pack. So obviously, Doctor Who a
lot of people's first doctor. It's him or David Tennant.
So what do you think you excited for this? You're
a Mett Smith fan, you'd like to see him in
Star Wars.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
I don't know if I'm a fan, but I am
a fan of his character from the House of Dragon,
which is the Game of Thrones prequel. Actually a dragon
writer in that show. So that's actually cool that now
he's going from dragon writer to some sort of starfighter. Yeah,
so that works for me. He's not a villainous character
that show per se, but he's definitely not a good guy.
(32:04):
So I see, I like it. I'm excited. I think
it's gonna be good. Yeah, it's that character.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
He's a good actor. I like him. Obviously, I did
see him as Doctor Who. I've seen him in Morbius.
It's one of those things too, where like he is
a good actor and people like him, so you can
wonder are they afraid for starfighters? The big names in
this show, right, isn't what's his face? Is the main guy?
Speaker 2 (32:27):
Shoot about the character? No?
Speaker 1 (32:29):
The actor? Who's the main actor? And Starfighter? We talked
about it on the show. Yeah, Shoot, we did.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
I'm not starting to come to me, but I can't remember.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
So here's my fear is when you can't big names.
And I'm not saying Matt Smith is like the biggest actor,
but when you can't big names, it's does that become
distracting to Ryan Gosling? That's it? He's the main So
it's Ryan Gosling and Matt Smith. Does he become distracting
to the show when it's like, are you watching it
because you like Star Wars and you want to see Starfighter?
(33:01):
Which I know that your answer is yes? Or are
you watching it because Smith and Ryan Gosling are because
and there's a lot of women are gonna watch it
for Ryan Gosling. Let's be honest.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
I eat listen. I don't even know much about Ryan Gosling,
so I'll take your word for it there. I don't
know how many people are like me. Where I buy
and collect the X Men comics, the Star Wars, I
follow the property, I don't follow the director, the writer,
the actor. So yeah, I really don't know what the
percentages of people that just oh, Matt Smith, Okay, I'm
(33:31):
watching that. It works, hey if it gets new eyes
on the Star Wars, but it could get eyes on
the Star Wars and then ridicule Star Wars because they
don't understand Star Wars.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
That's going to say, I don't disagree with trying to
get more people to watch Star Wars because I think
the l's part of me. The last couple of shows
have been in decline for viewership. But and again there's
the argument of what people just care about the main character.
Maybe not, But the other the other side of that
is it'll get Matt Smith and Ryan Gosling fans to
watch Star Wars who may not be Star Wars fans
(34:03):
who are going to be like, oh this is stupid,
oh like savings and space battles.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
But but you know what, Chris Hem's work did that
for kind of a ridiculous character with a stupid wing
helmet and everything. What he was, he was a big deal,
at least until he cut his hair. I think the women,
I think he got busted down a couple of tears
after that, but he got it back.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
Fron says, Christopher Eckleson is a godly character actor and
can't even get be recognized in America. I'm not disagreeing
with that, but maybe if he did more than one
season The Doctor, Americans might know who he is. Yeah, yeah,
I don't disagree with this, And in Matt Smith as
a B level actor in America despite being the Doctor.
But in England that's one of those things that the people,
(34:45):
it's like a big thing over there. You're the Doctor,
you get known in England because again they can have
American eyes watch this stuff. They're trying to get international.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
I think, at least for me, like I can never
gauge the popularity of Doctor Who, like I listen to
other people, seems like it's super popular, but honestly, it's
not something I ever liked. I don't know if it
was because, like I think when I was young, maybe
it came on or something after a reading rainbow, but
it came in. Yeah, it was just weirdness and I
(35:13):
curry up and change the channel to So I don't know,
but it seems, you know, just with you talking tonight,
like it's some sort of actor gateway from England, and
I just I don't know.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
Man, it's a big popular show. It's been on forever
in England some years, so it's a big thing over there.
I like this Americans by Doctor Who's Stuff in Secret? Nah,
you got to conventions. You're going to run into at
least a handful of Doctor Who listen.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
They made a magic the gathering set of it, so
it's gotta be something. I just never I know. It's
like a bad acid trip. After my cartoons.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
This article made me feel old. They're done. Yeah. Oh
and in two years, a little less than two years
from now, A New Hope we'll be re released in
the theaters to celebrate it's fiftieth anniversary. And I'm all
for it because I want to hear something crazy. I'm
pretty sure it's the only one I've never seen in
the theater. Oh okay, I saw the special editions when
(36:13):
they came out, but I missed A New Hope.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
Oh really okay?
Speaker 1 (36:16):
Yeah, and then I was too young when the first
one came out. The first Star Wars movie I saw
in the theater was Empire Strikes Back.
Speaker 2 (36:22):
Yeah, mine was returning to the Jedi, and I was
too young. Then we got kicked out because I was crying.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
I got kicked out of a movie not that long
ago for crying, But that's a who another story. Sorry,
you can't master bait and crying anyway.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
I was about to ask if it was Madam Webb,
but it's.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
A little early to talk about it. But I think
we'll have to do a special anniversary viewing of it
and talk about it on the show when it comes
back out. So if we're still around two years, yeah,
knock on wood, Yeah, we'll be doing a special fiftieth anniversary. Yes,
thrown it was freaky your Friday. You got me, so yeah,
we'll we'll be doing that. Yeah, there is that much
(36:59):
to say about it, just other than it made me
feel old.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
Yeah, I can see. I know. I was taken it
back to when I was like fifty. Are you talking
about oh.
Speaker 1 (37:07):
Wait, oh wait, oh wait?
Speaker 2 (37:09):
Here we are?
Speaker 1 (37:10):
Yeah, all right, And our last article of the day,
and and this is why America is stupid, not the
article itself, but what the how the article was written.
And this is in the Hollywood Reporter too, so it's
not some like crazy fly by Night website, but it's
Dave Batista is in final negotiations to play the main
(37:30):
villain in the Highlander reboot. Right, Oh, that's cool. Dave
Batista up against Henry Cavill Like, I can see that.
Russell Crowe nothing against Dave Patista. We all like the
miss Tracks. I'm sure we've seen him in the what
you call it movies, The Worms, Boom Dune. He is.
He's a professional wrestler first in my opinion, and then
an actor. So is he like the greatest actor in
(37:51):
the world. No, but he's he can hold his own,
especially in something he.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
Can be type cast. Yeah, I believe, yes.
Speaker 1 (37:58):
But the article says in the Highlanded reboot starring Henry
Cavill as Connor McLeod and Russell Crowe as Ramirez, the
Egyptian spaniard bab blah, Dave Fatista is up to play
the Kurgan And it's none of that has been confirmed
(38:20):
in the sense of who everyone is playing. Obviously Cavill's
playing McLoud. You can't call it Highland or not be
a Scottland, right movie, But it's never been confirmed that
they're still going to do Ramirez in the Kurgan. A
reboot does not mean you're going to do the same
exact story. If you're going to redo the whole thing
and come up with a better explanation of why they're
(38:40):
immortal and all this stuff, then you might want to
change some of the characters around. So I don't know,
I feel like that's a plague on our country, on
our news media, like they're going to say this stuff
because oh, someone might search who's playing the Kurgan in
the Highlanded reboot so that they'll hit this article, even
though it's not confirmed that he's playing the Kurgan. But
(39:01):
it's all about clicks and eyeballs. But I guess I'll
ask you first, what do you think of Dave Patista
as playing the villain possibly the Kurgan in the Highlight?
Speaker 2 (39:09):
Yeah? Yeah, I actually feel two different ways about it,
because on one hand, I totally see it. But on
the other hand, and when we talked about this, I
suggested the actor, which would thor something, I'm born to
shore and whatever the mountain that played the mountain in
Game of Thrones, and Dave Batista is no longer the bulky,
(39:31):
muscle bound he was, so in that respect, my eyebrow
goes up a little bit. People's eyebrow that's wrestling, So
I'm of two ways I see it, because that's the
type of character Dave Batista does well with, but he
no longer has the size he had, So when I
(39:52):
do think of the Kurgan, I do think that one
of his characteristics is that he's a monster. I could
see Dave Patista doing a good job. I guess I'm
going to have to assume that he's going to have
to walk back up, though I don't know. They could
be doing a whole new slimmer version, which okay, I'm
not going to hate it out of the gate.
Speaker 1 (40:10):
So here's what I'm going to say about that. First off, Yes,
because remember I had said of the Rock because I
was trying to think, who's bigger than Henry cavill to
be a believable scary force to play against Henry Cavill
as the Kurgan. But then people seem to forget the
Clancy brown Is who play at the Kurkan in the
original Highlander. And he wasn't a big muscular guy. He
(40:33):
wasn't like a scrowny little guy, but he's a I
think he's a taller actor. But I also they did
things to him to make him a peer bigger and menacing,
like he really wasn't necessarily bigger. So yeah, they could
do that to Dave Batista, but I do think he
needs like in today's world. Unfortunately, I think it's the
bow Cup again a little bit more because you if
(40:55):
you have a scrony Kurgan against a beefy Henry Cavill, right, like, yeah,
this guy's not gonna win at all. But unless he's
not the Kurgan and they're doing something where he has
other abilities, like maybe he can do magic or something
that makes him more of a threat against Henry kav
Highlander because you could say the Highlander being a big
(41:16):
guy dependent on his strength to win and stuff. And
then so I don't know, We'll see, do you so.
Speaker 2 (41:22):
Let me I just make sure I understand though, So
you don't want them to do like the story with Ramirez,
Dementtor Kurgan, the arch Nemesis.
Speaker 1 (41:34):
I'm of two minds of it because is Highlander a
cult classic? Yes? Is Highlander ridiculous when you start picking
it apart. Yes, you had one of the most famous actors.
God knows how they got him into this movie because
it wasn't like a huge thing it was low budget
French director making this movie where they had a Frenchman
(41:55):
playing a Scotsman who couldn't do a Scottish accent to
save his life. He was just learning English to play
this role. So then they get a famous Scotsman who
was James Bond to play an Egyptian in a Spanish
costume because he's been around for a long time blah blah.
But he still speaks like Sean Connery. And so now
you're getting Russell Crowe, an English actor or English or Australian.
(42:17):
I can't remember Australian Australian, so he still has He's
got it in an English or Australian accent, a thick
Australian accent. I don't think I've ever heard Russell Crowe
do other accents. So can he do a French accent?
I don't know, and have it be believable? Like that's
the thing. If you're going to do miras and do
the same character, then you have to do it better
(42:39):
than it was done.
Speaker 2 (42:40):
And originally I think they will. Yeah, I think that
Ramirez the character will be remade to be not so convoluted.
But it's funny what you say about the Highlander movies,
so you could pick them apart. I don't know, man,
those at least those first two Big Highlander two.
Speaker 1 (42:58):
Oh, come on.
Speaker 2 (43:02):
I'm not saying you're wrong, but what I'm saying, for
some reason, the general zeitgeist was like on those movies.
And I judged this because my mom, who cares nothing
about comic books, none of that dumb shit, but was
into the Highlander movies. I know she liked long Hair
Christopher Lambert, so maybe that was the secret sauce. I'm
telling you, Like, my mom is not like a sword fighter,
(43:25):
sword and sorcery at all, But I don't know. This
was something that like came across the That's all I'm saying,
And I had a little something I don't know.
Speaker 1 (43:35):
I also argue to this day is one of the
things that did make that movie an epic cult classic
is the soundtrap.
Speaker 2 (43:41):
Sure, absolutely. And the thing is you can't go wrong
with Queen so good that when they did the TV show,
they still had them on there.
Speaker 1 (43:50):
So that's the question, Like I keep wondering that too,
What do you do? How did you try to recreate that?
And you can't. It's lightning in a bottle right, Like,
you can't recreate it. But do you get like another band,
a band of this time?
Speaker 2 (44:04):
No, because there is no there's no band. There's no Yeah, no,
there's no band that even compares to Queens. It's our
day and age. Man. I honestly say, you keep the Queen,
you at least the main theme. And who wants to
Live Forever? I think you could still incorporate those two.
(44:24):
Probably a couple of the other ones too. I don't know.
I keep what I could, honestly, it's that good.
Speaker 1 (44:29):
Yeah, but you know that if they do it, they
will get someone else to re record them, and like
Rihanna or something to re record Who wants to Live Forever?
Speaker 2 (44:37):
Oh my god, that Puluga Whale? Come on, No, oh
my no, they can't do that. They can't, they can
and they will. This is Hollywood, Oh my god. Anything
to piss you off is what they will get. Like,
what is even a legitimate rock band that exists today
that's not from the past. I don't know that.
Speaker 1 (44:56):
I don't know even Sevenfold because they've been around for
a long time.
Speaker 2 (45:00):
Yeah, I don't know. There's no new Birn.
Speaker 1 (45:03):
No. That's funny because there are, but there aren't like
as big what's that one? The kids from like the Midwest,
Greta van Fleet, Like they came out and they have
a classic rock sound and like they had gained a
lot of buzz when they first came out, but then
they fizzled out. So yeah, oh god, I could go.
Speaker 2 (45:24):
On this for the rest of the Yeah, they should
just stick with Queen, at least for a couple of
them there.
Speaker 1 (45:30):
All right, we'll see I when they get the whole
cast together. I'm sure there will be an announcement of
of the cast and who they're playing. We'll see, hopefully
this will all be settled.
Speaker 2 (45:40):
What if they do a bait and switch and it's
a Russell Crow just Connor McCleod, Now let's not go there,
all right, Andrey Cavill's a Kurgan.
Speaker 1 (45:51):
What if Johnny Depp was Romiro?
Speaker 2 (45:53):
Oh no, all right, too busy playing rock music.
Speaker 1 (45:56):
Yeah, it's true, you know what, no depth I could
see For some reason, I wasn't thinking. I was thinking
Kanna Reeves. That would be terrible. But I could see Depp.
I could see Depp as ram crazy. I don't know,
all right, what's that time? Let's ask that question that
we do every episode.
Speaker 2 (46:13):
What do we learn on the show to night?
Speaker 1 (46:17):
So what did you learn or do you have any
recommendations there, Donny boy?
Speaker 2 (46:22):
Yeah, no, I learned that Doctor Who is a way
bigger deal than in my mind because it scared me
as a child, right, but it does have a magic set,
so I can't argue Matt Smith is a BT reactor. Yeah, recommendations.
You know what, I still have not fucking watched Twisted
Metal season two, and I think I might just freaking
(46:42):
do that right after the show.
Speaker 1 (46:44):
All right, there you go. I learned that thron I
was probably a little younger than us and can name
bands like Skillet, bed Wolves or Dynamite or Diamente. I
don't even know how you say that. When I when
there are bands that like people know and I've never
heard of, I go, God, I'm old, you know.
Speaker 2 (47:03):
Thank you?
Speaker 1 (47:04):
This has been a This has been an episode of
me learning I'm old, and I thank you all for that.
That's what I learned this recommendations. Yeah, I'm on, I'm
in the same boat. Did not get to watch anything
this week, and maybe I'll go I'll get off of
here and watch Twisted Metal as well. We shall see,
we shall see. I might just go to bed. But
that's it for us this week or this episode. So
(47:26):
on that note, boys and girls, as always, thanks for watching.

to see what happens. So we're gonna talk. I'll tell
you right off the top of the thing. I didn't
know what to talk about. So we're gonna talk Star Wars.
We had a couple of Star Wars articles that popped
up in the last couple of days, new actors coming
(00:41):
into the fold, and the fiftieth aniversary news, and somebody
settled with Lucasfilm, so I think we need to talk
about that a little bit. And then we also got
some what else that I have on the docket? Hold on?
Oh yeah, we got a little bit of confirmation about
Spider Man. I don't know if I believe it or not.
We'll talk about that the new a brand new day,
(01:01):
and then Superman joins ice. I figured, if we're gonna
go full blown, let's do this, let's talk about that
a little bit. And of course we got some Highlander
doing that yay closely, so that should be good. So yeah,
all that being said, we're ready to go. Caissan's here, ca, son,
You're gonna be pissed off. I think no, I think
a son increases. With all right that being said, how
(01:23):
are you doing, sir?
Speaker 2 (01:24):
I'm doing okay. I've had a frustrating day a little bit.
I own a truck truck and we got back from
Vaka and we started off the truck and it sounded
really loud, and so today I was like, okay, I'm
gonna crawl up under there and see if I can't
figure it out. And lo and behold, there is what
seems to be pretty straightforward thing with two pipes that
(01:45):
are held together by a bolt and on flange, and
for whatever, the bolts are broke still in the threads
and everything, but they're fucking So I take it over
to my brother in law's house, who also has a pool,
so the rest of the family gets to go in
the pool. Well, I use is because I don't have
a big enough jack. I get a torch. I try
to get this shit out. It just it won't come out,
(02:05):
and it sucks. But I can't mess with it too
much because it's actually I've got like a warrantine stuff.
I was trying to save one hundred dollars deductible and
I can't bolt together two pieces of exhaust, but that
ain't happening, So that's frustrated. But the truck actually sounds
way cooler, so like my son and I don't fix it.
(02:26):
But no, it's a bit much. And but on my
way home from that, I saw DeLorean, So I know
that's not the greatest thing ever, but it doesn't happen
every day. It doesn't happen a lot. Yeah, Oh that's cool.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Was there a kid in like an orange riving it?
Speaker 2 (02:43):
I couldn't see inside. It was wed They are very low. Yeah,
my truck is very high. That high, but anyway, I
could not tell. Actually, all right, there you go. How
about you, Dave, how's you're half a week? Ben?
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Okay? I got busy. I'm the on call person at work,
so work was busy, and then they decided last minute
to do maintenance yesterday, to do the maintenance on the weekends,
and of course, being the on call person, I'm responsible
to do what they call it check out. Once they
do the maintenance, I had to go and to make
sure like all the applications launch, we can still connect
to the database and all that fun stuff. And that
(03:17):
was frustrating, but I have to do that on a Saturday.
And then I was done with that, and I'm like, oh,
I guess I'm going to go over to the girlfriends.
She had a crappy week too, and I won't get
into all the details because I won't share her personal
stuff on here, but she's been working on her kitchen
and things have been keeping it from getting done. So
I get over to her and she's we're gonna paint
(03:38):
the trim today, and I'm like, okay. So we painted
the trim and then and then we just got a
couple of strombolts for dinner and then their sun. She
got these appealing stick plastic guitiles to put on the
for the new backsplash that she want to do all
along the back wall.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Okay, I'm with you.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
We were like debating whether or not to do it,
and her son like just started doing it and he
got I want to say, ninety percent of them up
until he got to the stove and the stove's got
to be pulled out and it's getting late and we're like,
we're tired. Well, She's will work on it tomorrow. And
that was that. So it was just like and I
don't know why, because we went to bed pretty early
for us and didn't get up super kind but not
super early. And then she actually took me to Michael's
(04:17):
because I wanted I needed a couple of canvases for
a painting idea I have, and because at first she
was like, oh I I got to this stuff done
to day, I'm like okay, and then I said can
we just because she was driving me home and I
was like, do you need to go to the store
and she's like, no, but we can stop because I
need stuff for dinner for tomorrow. And then I mentioned
Michael's and she's, I guess we can do that. But
the funny thing is we go to Michael's and she's
(04:40):
looking around because she's a woman and she does crafty stuff,
so they have seventy percent off on some of the
spring and summer stuff and she's looking at saying and
I grabbed the canvases right away, and I was ready
to go, and I'm like, uh, okay, I'll sleep and then.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
You signed that check Davy the store, and.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Then we went to the to the grocery store and
I knew, I know what I'm making a meatloaf. Tomorrow.
So I got exactly what I needed to make a
meat loaf, and she like got way more then she
because she's like, oh, I don't really need anything. And
then she got like sodas. She got stuff for her
family for the week, for a couple of things.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
And it's like that man with my wife. Hey, I'm
gonna stop at McDonald's and I'm gonna get a McChicken
and a mcdouble. You want anything, Oh yeah, give me
this meal and I want this on the side, and
then make sure I get this many number of sauces.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
It's just a come on, Oh I hate when they
do stuff like that. Yeah, you get specific with McDonald's
and it's just gonna spit my f.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
That's what I tell her. It's there all the time,
because she is the person that will say the thing
in the restaurant if it's a little bit of a
mistake on my food whatever, I'm gonna barrel through it,
because no way am I sending anything back into that kitchen.
But she is that type. But I always tell her,
let me know how the spit tastes.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
My My late mother in law, I swear every time
we went out to dinner with her. She could never
order off the menu, so she would go through the
whole menu and be like, oh, I want this, but
for this, you have this as a side. Can I
have that sign instead of this? And can you take
this off of it and do this?
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Just like every time?
Speaker 1 (06:23):
And I was always in I don't want to spit
in my food.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
But I don't wanted to hit the floor and then people, yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Hopefully they know not to mess with my food, just hers.
But yeah, it's what are you gonna do? I know
we've already gone to the dark side. It's not good.
It's not good. You know what we're gonna have to
do since they're already here on the dark side of things,
We're gonna have to have Darth Dawn tell you where
you can find more superhero Speak of Dawn. Here.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Must subscribe to superhero Speak if you haven't already. If
you have already, make another account and subscribe again. Also
like this video. While you're on the hollow net, go
(07:19):
to superheroespeak dot com. Find the links to our merch
and purchase one of our shirts. Don't skimp on the shipping,
or else I will trap you in a box with
an agitated gun. Doc named Free Lawson. I would just
(07:43):
force lightning you. We don't have that in the effects budget.
Now back to the show.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
You know what, Speaking of merch, I forgot I did
because I got busy. I did not finish setting up
our t Spring store, not Tea Spring Tea public store.
Hopefully that'll be done for Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
So everyone that got their orders in. That's why it's delayed.
It's day's fault.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
It's always day's fault. Oh and real quick, let's do
our let's do our box office updates. As of the stream,
Superman is at five hundred and seventy eight point eight
million dollars, so we shall see that. I'm pretty sure
it's run out of steam. Oh yeah, they might make
six hundred by the time it gets out of the theater.
I think with twenty two thousand they should are twenty
(08:39):
two million. They should be able to do that. Fantastic
Four did have a big drop off on its second weekend,
but it still managed to get to four hundred and
thirty four zero point two million dollars worldwide. It's the best.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
But listen, if those on successful movies people need to
lose their jobs. That's a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Yeah, yeah, I do you think. We talked about this
obviously a lot that the first off Fantastic Four, it
probably isn't as popular as some of the other characters
that are out there, and I do think people have
lost I don't know if interest is the right word,
but maybe you've lost faith in Marvel, which is funny
because I thought this movie was going to do well
just on the fact that you didn't have to see
everything else to understand what was going on in it.
(09:17):
But maybe the word didn't get out. They should have
marketed that way. Come see a Marvel movie where you
don't have to see anything before that.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Yeah, that that could have been a good marketing ploy.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Absolutely be Casion says those aren't successful movies. I beg
to differ because it was told they haven't given a
clear number for Superman. It said it needed to make
between five and seven hundred million, so obviously it is
between those two numbers. And the report for we talked
about this, it was like three hundred and seventy million
was such a weird number for Fantastic four, and Thron
(09:49):
has a good point. Hello, Thron, Fantastic four was a
one hundred and ninety minute trailer. I didn't feel like
that at times. I told you I talked about in
the review. Are they Is it just like setting us
up for the next big Fate movie, the Doomsday? But
since sree hundred and seventy they've made that.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Again, I don't know how the p encounters work because
there is also a trick in a lot of these
things where they now try to go Did you know
they claimed that Pire Strikes Back never made money? Yeah,
exactly because it's creative accounting, because they don't want to
pay residuals to people, so they claim that the movie's
never made money. But yet obviously it's one of the
most successful movies of all time, but according to their accounting, no,
(10:27):
it's never actually made any money. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
If it's that hard to make money, then how the
heck can they cast Robert Downey Junior? Have you seen?
Or they explained that they didn't show his face and
Fantastic Four because it would have been like half the
budget for the fucking movie just to have them.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Yeah, and there's rumors that that was actually him in
the suit. He just didn't show his face, And I'm like,
why would you do that. Yeah, I don't know. Speaking
of Marvel and confusing things, I don't put a lot
of stock in this, but it's been going around. So
we talked about and the last time I got together.
Is the funny The rumor is that the one actor
in Brand New Day is actually playing Mister Negative. He
(11:06):
actually said in an interview he would love to play
the character. There's been hints in the on set of
Mister Negative. But this article, according to Daniel Richmond, who
is a quote unquote Marvel insider, it's somebody one of
these personalities out there, who Hey, we've talked about this.
How come we're not the Marvel insider. This guy claims
(11:27):
he has all this information and it was like he
tweeted out, I can now tell you that the main
villain of Spider Man Brand New Day is none of
the villains that we heard about, and it is not
Mister Negative. So I feel like I take that with
a grain of salt. But I also look at it
this way. Thrunt says he keeps hearing Jackal.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
It's gotta be bigger than these people that because I
told you when we talked about it, there's no way
this is gonna be lame if that's the villain of
our Spider Man multiverse movie. Come right, it's gotta be
somebody big.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Two things with that again, and I take it with
a grain of salt. But the other thing is he
says the main villain of Spider Man Brand New Day
is none of the villains that we've heard about, and
it's not mister Negative. So that's not saying mister Negative
isn't in the movie. It's just saying he's not the
main villain. And I think that's an important thing to
take away. So again, this could be his originally, like
(12:19):
he's in the movie as his alter ego, and something
happens and by the end of the movie he becomes
mister Negative, setting up the next Spider.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Man before that is mister Positive.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
My son had an interesting theory for the movie, and
I really like this idea, and like we talked about it,
we played off of each other thinking of like how
we could how they could make it work. So the
Punisher is in the movie, right, that's confirmed. John Berthol
has been seen on set. He's been seeing in costume
on set like The Whole Nine and the Punisher hunts
(12:49):
villains what if instead of being the classic, he's hunting
Spider Man down because they don't know if he's a
hero or a big guy. Where they how they introduced it.
What if he is hunting down a villain in New
York City and that villain happens to be Hobgoblin. Ned
leads Hobgoblin and Peter finds out that it's Ned, and
he's trying to stop the punisher from killing his friend
(13:11):
who doesn't know he's his friend. Because that's what I
was saying. Oh, yeah, you could play it off like
he feels isolated that he doesn't have any friends because
he doesn't remember Peter and yet knows he was at
that battle at the Statue of Liberty with Spider Man
and he doesn't know why, and so like he loses
it and he blames Spider Man for not having memories
(13:32):
and takes on the persona of the Hobgoblin to go
after him. And maybe it's mister Negative's corporation that gives
him the serum that makes him the Hobgoblin.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Yeah, that's perfectly plausible. I like it. I'll tell you
what though, And this may have people not like me. Boy,
I never understood. I always thought it was kind of
lame that Spider Man had two Goblin villain I really did.
And it's not even like because it's more of a
psychological thing. Yeah, I just I don't get it. I
(14:04):
mean I get it because it's a historic character at
this point. So that would be cool because I even
have a Spiderman comic Bag of Death of Hobgoblin. I
don't like who this ship, but whatever it was, he is.
But yeah, I don't know his rant about Spiderman villa form.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
But that's what I'm saying. I'm thinking of, like how
you make it work and make it believable, because again,
if he was there on the on the bridge, and
like again he's got these memories of helping Spider Man
make his web flu it, but he doesn't remember who
Spider Man is, and it's like maybe Spider Man did something.
But also Green Goblin was there and he saw a
Spider Man almost killed Green Goblin, so that's his inspiration
to become the Hobgoblin. Yeah, so it's just the thought
(14:43):
it would be interesting that would make a WWE He'll
turn for ned after No Way Home exactly. Yes, Yes,
that would have to give ned a lot of screen time,
and he was close to mt being in the next
film for reporting m O T. I don't know what
else the next close to not being in the next
film from reporting? Oh it's TYPEO. I thought I meant
(15:05):
something true, but again, yeah, thank you. But again it
could just be like how many times did Paul Rudd
say he wasn't in he wasn't ant Man after and
everyone knew he was cast and oh no that's not
true rumors. So yeah, we'll see exactly. People will have
snipers on him. That's gonna spill the beans. All right,
(15:26):
are you ready to get a little political or do
you want to wait till the end?
Speaker 2 (15:29):
I'm done with whatever, man, I'm cool and fun.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
All right. This has been all all over the social
media's people talking about it, and I'm bringing it up
for two reasons. Again, I'm not here's the thing. I
don't care what your political bent is. I don't care
who you voted for in the last election. But it's
interesting that this poor man gets so much hate because
(15:54):
he has come out as a Christian conservative and that
is of course TV's Superman Dean Kane from the nineties.
And I'm not saying that.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
He's another one. He's another one that gets so much
hate because he came out as a Christian conservative. He's
he played Superman, and I'm not saying it was the
greatest Superman TV show of all time because it was hokey.
It was very hokey, but it was very nineties. Yeah,
and the game was Terry Hatcher. So I think that
was a good thing. In the news that he is
joining ICE. And the thing is, when you read through
(16:26):
the articles, he's not actually joining ICE. It's more, Yeah,
he's an honorary member of ICE. So that he's going
to become you know what it is, He's going to
become a figurehead. They're going to use him as like
a recruiting tool.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Does that like check's like a sheriff. Can you imagine that?
Like you think, put your hands up, please come on? Yeah, yeah,
that's just a headline graber.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
So, and we've all seen the meme where it's it's
all the pictures of all the people who've played Superman
and thank you for across all the pictures, thank you
for blah blah blah, except you on his picture bringing
Superman in life. So it's just that's the thing, like
not only okay, fine, you don't like his politics whatever,
but of course this becomes news because of what's going
(17:11):
on in our country and the deportations and whatnot. And
then people start like I saw quite a few people
who I am friends with on Facebook and I didn't
respond to any of them, any of them who are
in work in comics, some who have been guests on
this show and posting stuff like, oh, he's a washed
up bactor and he's just doing this to get attention.
(17:33):
And then if you just google him and look at
his credits, he's been working consistently since the late eighties,
Like he's worked almost every year in something. He just
hasn't been in mainstream things that you've watched. He's done
a lot of Hallmark movies, and he's done some independent
movies and whatnot. He's done a couple of like TV shows,
(17:54):
but you're just not watching those things because he's not
Superman anymore. And I just think it's weird that people
feel like they've got to bash them. I don't know
what's your take.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Yeah, I really the whole bash somebody because of their
political ways, I guess I'll say, or their political leanings.
I just don't subscribe to in general. I don't champion
finding ways to separate yourself from your fellow man. I
believe the opposite. I believe us as humans, as a species,
our strength is working together and for all of our benefit,
(18:26):
we'd be working toward as near as symbios as we can. Nonetheless,
that's one hundred and eighty degrees separate from where we're
at now. And but yeah, I don't get into it.
It's why we don't get terribly political here because I'm
just it's it bores me. I want to read comics
and play video games and roll dice and do fucking
(18:47):
math for fun at er card games. But at the
same time, we have literal genocides happening now and that
we've helped fund. And it's horrible. It's absolutely horrible. Yeah,
we should all be brook, but here I'm part of it,
so I'm not. But with that said, did I vote
for Trump? I did. Here's why I'm a one issue voter.
(19:08):
Are you trying to take one of my rifles away?
And if you are, I can't vote for you. Sorry,
that's it. Otherwise, Yeah, I'm for small government. I want
people to. I want people to be helped, and I
want those that have resources to help those that don't,
but I want the fucking government to do it. They
fuck everything up. I want universal health care, but I
want the fucking government to do it. Here you are,
(19:30):
and so there we are. That's how I feel about
all that. No, he's had a better life than most
of us. So you're just looking for a reason to hate,
and politics is right there and an easy one. But
I don't like it.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Yeah, yeah, And it's funny too, because we could get
a lot more viewers if we got political in all
of our episodes, which is funny because it's I loved
how okay we're here. We're gonna get a little deeper.
Colbert got fired, right, and they're you can't even say fired,
they're just not renewing his contract. And then they're going
to end the show because they came out with numbers
(20:05):
saying that the show was losing forty million dollars a year.
You'ren't going to keep a show going that's losing money.
These advertisers aren't interested in pursuing it. Of course, he's
trying to say he's being persecuted politically when it's just no,
You're like you weren't making money, like you have one
hundred people working for you, and your every episode is
(20:25):
just anti Trump, anti Trump, anti Trump. So people tuned
out because they're tired of hearing it, right, Like the
way you just described yourself is a this is what
I vote on and that's it, and I this is
what I believe. But you're tuned out of a lot
of the other stuff going on in the world. I
think that is the average voter, right. They're not as
tuned into everything that's going on as the mainstream media
(20:46):
tries to say that they are. So the best thing
that came out of all of it, in my opinion,
was Jay Leno saying, yeah, I'd get email. I'd get
letters from conservatives that were pissed off and then about
a joke that I made, And then I would get
letters from liberals about jokes that I make, because like, yeah,
we're gonna upset the fringe people here and there, but
like we didn't. I never wanted to get super political
(21:08):
because you're alienating half of a potential audience, which is true.
That's like a lot of these mainstream shows have done.
They've been like no we don't care about these viewers,
but you want to go because there's been a misconception.
In my opinion, I don't think it's true, is that
most people are liberal and Democrats, and that's not true.
The country's very split down the middle. So again, you're
(21:30):
gonna alienate half your audience. And it's also not even
so much. Again, like I said, it's not hardcore political.
It's just you get tired of hearing the same thing
over and over again from a talk show. And in
my opinion, he did it to himself because of that.
But I can also have a conspiracy theory about it,
but maybe we won't get into that because I could. Yeah,
Thron says that an average voter cares about three issues max.
(21:53):
That's pretty much me. But I'm a small government guy.
I want to get rid of as much of the
government as possible, which is I hate to say it.
I voted for the Orange Man, and it's he's doing it.
He's gotten rid of a lot of stuff, a lot
of the bloat in the government, so I'm happy. I'm
sorry I went. I'm a small government person. The government
has gotten way too big, and that does bring me
(22:14):
to my conspiracy is that USA d ID got defund
it and all of a sudden things aren't are being
looked at as like not making money, or the Democrat
Party lost a lot of money, the DNC lost a
lot of money, and then all of a sudden, Colbert
came out, well, we can't keep him around because he's
losing money. Oh yeah, look, I'm just saying it's a
weird coincidence.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Anyway, Well, there's definitely a backlash because Howard Stern is
being canceled, but I read that they're basically gonna lowball
him and they don't expect him to take the offer.
And the reason that they're doing that is because his
politics of During COVID, he was like, if anyone someone's
not wearing a mask and they give COVID, then the
(22:56):
hospitals and doctor should show him to go home and
fucking die. Oh wow, Okay, I hope though I don't.
I'm not hoping for this big conservative lean now. I'm
hoping that anyone that's getting political just stops getting views
and stuff and let's just talk about entertaining or interesting shit. Yeah,
and not shit that you're making up about the government
(23:18):
or some other political party. To try and stoke up
anger or again just wasted divide it.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Yeah, no, I agree, but that's the thing too, right,
it sells like there.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Are unfortunately yeah, Tim Kane or not Tim Kane. I'm sorry,
Tim Poole. I know this is your dude, but where's
a beanie all the time with headphones and I fucking
see him on billboards now like he's some sort of
authority on anything, and I've seen him prove the opposite.
So but I want to bash your guide to.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
The Funny thing is it's that's true too. And again
there's this concept of hate watching, like somebody hates somebody,
so they're gonna watch them to see what they have
to say. And he does it too. He claims that
he's he doesn't do clickbait and rage bait, but yet
I've seen him bash movies saying, oh, there they went woke,
so that's why they're broke. But you can watch he
(24:09):
clearly didn't watch the movie. So it's just like he
did that with I said that he did it with Superman.
He came out and said Superman is gonna be woke,
it's gonna be stupid, blah blah blah, and then he
went and watched it, and you're like, oh, no, it
wasn't what it was actually really good. So it's just
like you know that you had the original opinion because
you knew it was gonna upset comic book fans and
they're gonna probably it'll come up in their feed because
(24:30):
they're a Superman fan, and they're gonna watch your video
because they're gonna be upset with what you're saying.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Uh oh, PBS. He's basically the PBS shutdown.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Came home, you know, yeah, dependent funds showing there really
wasn't support. It's just forced interactenation. Yeah, Thron, that's my
that's my conspiracy theory because that was other things too.
People hear us AID and they think it's an AID thing,
and it's no, it actually stands for United States, American influence,
a United States something influence termination or whatever. It's about international.
(25:05):
Oh that's what it is, international influence, international influence. Er
So I can't remember that what extends for exactly, but
it's it's not AID. It's like pushing a message in
other countries that we want pushed, an agenda we want
to push, like that was their thing. And people think
heard that, oh, why are we funding people that has
nothing to do with it. I guess since we're already
on the political bent, we'll do this one too. Gina
(25:28):
Carano was in the news as well since Wednesday. She
has settled with Lucasfilm and Disney was at an undisclosed amount.
I don't remember if it said in the article how
much they settled for, but basically it's they were they
settled out of court. But the funny thing is, and
she did say that, oh, here this is goes. Miss
(25:52):
Corano was always well respected by her director's co stars
and staff, and she worked hard to perfect her craft
while treating her colleagues with kindness and respect. Lucasfilm said
in a statement with this lawsuit concluded, we look forward
to identifying opportunities to work together with miss Carano in
the near future. So like that was One of the
(26:13):
things is that she was suing because she got fired
from the Mandalorian because she put a post up that
was again comparing how conservatives are treated to this country
to how the Jewish, some of the Jewish people were
treated during World War Two. Do I agree with that statement? No,
but is there a little bit of truth in that statement.
Sometimes it feels that way.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Also another thing that she did that was antagonistic is
people on Twitter I think it was actually called Twitter
at that time, were wanting her to put her pronoun
in her in her profiles so that she can show
her support for the trans community. And she put beepbop boop.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
That turned into her being anti trans. I think that turned,
in my opinion, that was her being anti Bowli. They
were boying her to put her pronouns in there, and
she was like, no, like, I don't need to do that,
So here's what I'm putting instead, and what's obviously Star
Wars reference, because that's what R two D two would say,
beat bob boop. And it was just like, okay, cool,
(27:15):
good for her, let her do her thing.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
But it's oh, your anti Just look at the Sydney
Sween stuff. Man, that's the problem with the left.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
If you don't agree with us one hundred percent and
do what we say, then you're a terrible person. And
it's just like, no, that's not how life works.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Sounds like a little fascism.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Exactly, And that is why she made the comparison that
she did. And yes, a lot of people got upset
about it. Oh, don't get me started on Sidney Sweeney either. Man,
So an attractive woman doing a jeans commercial, all of
a sudden, that's eugenics. What the fuck.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
People of people that have been hurt in this country.
I certainly admit that I'm not a super patriot in
no way, shape or form. I love the idea of
the United States of America more than I like the
actual reality and execution. Yeah, but yeah, it's a stretching
and again just making up reasons to be divisive.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
There isn't a straight man on this planet who would
kick Cydney Sweeney out of bed. And that's what it's about.
And it's selling genes, period.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
That's I most certainly would kick Sydney Sweeney out of
my bed because I got my gorgeous wife.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Sorry, is she even actually in the room right now?
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Okay, good? Uh? Yeah, yeah. And it was just because
they used jeans and geens, even though there's a commercial
from the eighties that did the same exact thing for
I think it was Calvin Klein or Hugo Boss, one
of them. It's a beautiful woman putting her geens on
talking about genetics, and like having the perfect body on
all this stuff like now it's eugenics. So Bron says, nice,
(28:52):
save your little play there. So yeah, do you think
that they will what's the name of the show that.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
You New Republic Ranger?
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Yeah? Do you think they'll put the New Republic Rangers
back onto the schedule now and bring her in and
still do it?
Speaker 2 (29:08):
I certainly hope so, And I think if they do
it right, they'll be really smart to do because, as
we've discussed on previous shows, people really have an interest
in the in between the return of the Jedi and
a Force awakens, Star Wars time line, time whatever partition. Yeah,
(29:30):
so the New Republic Rangers would happen then, and New
Republic Rangers would give a pretty neat perspective of the
galaxy at that time. So I think they will, particularly
since the statement that you read where they've said, hey,
we look forward to working with their blah blah blah
and people. I enjoyed the character car Doom. I think
(29:54):
Gina Carano plays a perfect car Doom produced to Gina
Carano her role in Deadpool, and I'm a fan for
multiple reasons. Yeah, but loved her in that role and
was really sad to see these dumb shit go down
and that it actually resulted in her. But no, now
I have a lot of hope in seeing Jeene and
(30:16):
Caronto as car doing again, and hopefully they restart the
new Republic Ranger series, because again that's what people want
to see.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Wait, you're a big fan for a lot of reasons.
Is she the one you want to kick out of bed?
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Okay? You know what, Actually my wife knows that I
would not. She we have, she's got her, she's for her.
It's Adam Driver, Like you can officially cheat on me
for free with Adam Driver. What's that sort of we
got one?
Speaker 1 (30:42):
All right? All right?
Speaker 2 (30:44):
That one's okay?
Speaker 1 (30:45):
All ye, Yeah, I think Mayan on my list. It's
hall pass Yeah, that's what. It's hall passed. I think
I think Mayan is a Scarlett Johannes. You will ever
forever be by hall pass a. Right? Is that enough?
Is that enough super le political stuff for one night?
We want to I think, yeah, you sent me a
lot of these. Actually, Matt Smith is going to be
(31:08):
joining Starfighter Star Wars Starfighter in a villain role, so
we've all saw him as a villain in Morbius I didn't.
I was about to say for those who saw more because.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
You Dragon though, it's okay, okay here, well me Lajoovic, Okay,
that's a.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
That's a good hal pack. So obviously, Doctor Who a
lot of people's first doctor. It's him or David Tennant.
So what do you think you excited for this? You're
a Mett Smith fan, you'd like to see him in
Star Wars.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
I don't know if I'm a fan, but I am
a fan of his character from the House of Dragon,
which is the Game of Thrones prequel. Actually a dragon
writer in that show. So that's actually cool that now
he's going from dragon writer to some sort of starfighter. Yeah,
so that works for me. He's not a villainous character
that show per se, but he's definitely not a good guy.
(32:04):
So I see, I like it. I'm excited. I think
it's gonna be good. Yeah, it's that character.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
He's a good actor. I like him. Obviously, I did
see him as Doctor Who. I've seen him in Morbius.
It's one of those things too, where like he is
a good actor and people like him, so you can
wonder are they afraid for starfighters? The big names in
this show, right, isn't what's his face? Is the main guy?
Speaker 2 (32:27):
Shoot about the character? No?
Speaker 1 (32:29):
The actor? Who's the main actor? And Starfighter? We talked
about it on the show. Yeah, Shoot, we did.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
I'm not starting to come to me, but I can't remember.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
So here's my fear is when you can't big names.
And I'm not saying Matt Smith is like the biggest actor,
but when you can't big names, it's does that become
distracting to Ryan Gosling? That's it? He's the main So
it's Ryan Gosling and Matt Smith. Does he become distracting
to the show when it's like, are you watching it
because you like Star Wars and you want to see Starfighter?
(33:01):
Which I know that your answer is yes? Or are
you watching it because Smith and Ryan Gosling are because
and there's a lot of women are gonna watch it
for Ryan Gosling. Let's be honest.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
I eat listen. I don't even know much about Ryan Gosling,
so I'll take your word for it there. I don't
know how many people are like me. Where I buy
and collect the X Men comics, the Star Wars, I
follow the property, I don't follow the director, the writer,
the actor. So yeah, I really don't know what the
percentages of people that just oh, Matt Smith, Okay, I'm
(33:31):
watching that. It works, hey if it gets new eyes
on the Star Wars, but it could get eyes on
the Star Wars and then ridicule Star Wars because they
don't understand Star Wars.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
That's going to say, I don't disagree with trying to
get more people to watch Star Wars because I think
the l's part of me. The last couple of shows
have been in decline for viewership. But and again there's
the argument of what people just care about the main character.
Maybe not, But the other the other side of that
is it'll get Matt Smith and Ryan Gosling fans to
watch Star Wars who may not be Star Wars fans
(34:03):
who are going to be like, oh this is stupid,
oh like savings and space battles.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
But but you know what, Chris Hem's work did that
for kind of a ridiculous character with a stupid wing
helmet and everything. What he was, he was a big deal,
at least until he cut his hair. I think the women,
I think he got busted down a couple of tears
after that, but he got it back.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
Fron says, Christopher Eckleson is a godly character actor and
can't even get be recognized in America. I'm not disagreeing
with that, but maybe if he did more than one
season The Doctor, Americans might know who he is. Yeah, yeah,
I don't disagree with this, And in Matt Smith as
a B level actor in America despite being the Doctor.
But in England that's one of those things that the people,
(34:45):
it's like a big thing over there. You're the Doctor,
you get known in England because again they can have
American eyes watch this stuff. They're trying to get international.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
I think, at least for me, like I can never
gauge the popularity of Doctor Who, like I listen to
other people, seems like it's super popular, but honestly, it's
not something I ever liked. I don't know if it
was because, like I think when I was young, maybe
it came on or something after a reading rainbow, but
it came in. Yeah, it was just weirdness and I
(35:13):
curry up and change the channel to So I don't know,
but it seems, you know, just with you talking tonight,
like it's some sort of actor gateway from England, and
I just I don't know.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
Man, it's a big popular show. It's been on forever
in England some years, so it's a big thing over there.
I like this Americans by Doctor Who's Stuff in Secret? Nah,
you got to conventions. You're going to run into at
least a handful of Doctor Who listen.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
They made a magic the gathering set of it, so
it's gotta be something. I just never I know. It's
like a bad acid trip. After my cartoons.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
This article made me feel old. They're done. Yeah. Oh
and in two years, a little less than two years
from now, A New Hope we'll be re released in
the theaters to celebrate it's fiftieth anniversary. And I'm all
for it because I want to hear something crazy. I'm
pretty sure it's the only one I've never seen in
the theater. Oh okay, I saw the special editions when
(36:13):
they came out, but I missed A New Hope.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
Oh really okay?
Speaker 1 (36:16):
Yeah, and then I was too young when the first
one came out. The first Star Wars movie I saw
in the theater was Empire Strikes Back.
Speaker 2 (36:22):
Yeah, mine was returning to the Jedi, and I was
too young. Then we got kicked out because I was crying.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
I got kicked out of a movie not that long
ago for crying, But that's a who another story. Sorry,
you can't master bait and crying anyway.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
I was about to ask if it was Madam Webb,
but it's.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
A little early to talk about it. But I think
we'll have to do a special anniversary viewing of it
and talk about it on the show when it comes
back out. So if we're still around two years, yeah,
knock on wood, Yeah, we'll be doing a special fiftieth anniversary. Yes,
thrown it was freaky your Friday. You got me, so yeah,
we'll we'll be doing that. Yeah, there is that much
(36:59):
to say about it, just other than it made me
feel old.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
Yeah, I can see. I know. I was taken it
back to when I was like fifty. Are you talking
about oh.
Speaker 1 (37:07):
Wait, oh wait, oh wait?
Speaker 2 (37:09):
Here we are?
Speaker 1 (37:10):
Yeah, all right, And our last article of the day,
and and this is why America is stupid, not the
article itself, but what the how the article was written.
And this is in the Hollywood Reporter too, so it's
not some like crazy fly by Night website, but it's
Dave Batista is in final negotiations to play the main
(37:30):
villain in the Highlander reboot. Right, Oh, that's cool. Dave
Batista up against Henry Cavill Like, I can see that.
Russell Crowe nothing against Dave Patista. We all like the
miss Tracks. I'm sure we've seen him in the what
you call it movies, The Worms, Boom Dune. He is.
He's a professional wrestler first in my opinion, and then
an actor. So is he like the greatest actor in
(37:51):
the world. No, but he's he can hold his own,
especially in something he.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
Can be type cast. Yeah, I believe, yes.
Speaker 1 (37:58):
But the article says in the Highlanded reboot starring Henry
Cavill as Connor McLeod and Russell Crowe as Ramirez, the
Egyptian spaniard bab blah, Dave Fatista is up to play
the Kurgan And it's none of that has been confirmed
(38:20):
in the sense of who everyone is playing. Obviously Cavill's
playing McLoud. You can't call it Highland or not be
a Scottland, right movie, But it's never been confirmed that
they're still going to do Ramirez in the Kurgan. A
reboot does not mean you're going to do the same
exact story. If you're going to redo the whole thing
and come up with a better explanation of why they're
(38:40):
immortal and all this stuff, then you might want to
change some of the characters around. So I don't know,
I feel like that's a plague on our country, on
our news media, like they're going to say this stuff
because oh, someone might search who's playing the Kurgan in
the Highlanded reboot so that they'll hit this article, even
though it's not confirmed that he's playing the Kurgan. But
(39:01):
it's all about clicks and eyeballs. But I guess I'll
ask you first, what do you think of Dave Patista
as playing the villain possibly the Kurgan in the Highlight?
Speaker 2 (39:09):
Yeah? Yeah, I actually feel two different ways about it,
because on one hand, I totally see it. But on
the other hand, and when we talked about this, I
suggested the actor, which would thor something, I'm born to
shore and whatever the mountain that played the mountain in
Game of Thrones, and Dave Batista is no longer the bulky,
(39:31):
muscle bound he was, so in that respect, my eyebrow
goes up a little bit. People's eyebrow that's wrestling, So
I'm of two ways I see it, because that's the
type of character Dave Batista does well with, but he
no longer has the size he had, So when I
(39:52):
do think of the Kurgan, I do think that one
of his characteristics is that he's a monster. I could
see Dave Patista doing a good job. I guess I'm
going to have to assume that he's going to have
to walk back up, though I don't know. They could
be doing a whole new slimmer version, which okay, I'm
not going to hate it out of the gate.
Speaker 1 (40:10):
So here's what I'm going to say about that. First off, Yes,
because remember I had said of the Rock because I
was trying to think, who's bigger than Henry cavill to
be a believable scary force to play against Henry Cavill
as the Kurgan. But then people seem to forget the
Clancy brown Is who play at the Kurkan in the
original Highlander. And he wasn't a big muscular guy. He
(40:33):
wasn't like a scrowny little guy, but he's a I
think he's a taller actor. But I also they did
things to him to make him a peer bigger and menacing,
like he really wasn't necessarily bigger. So yeah, they could
do that to Dave Batista, but I do think he
needs like in today's world. Unfortunately, I think it's the
bow Cup again a little bit more because you if
(40:55):
you have a scrony Kurgan against a beefy Henry Cavill, right, like, yeah,
this guy's not gonna win at all. But unless he's
not the Kurgan and they're doing something where he has
other abilities, like maybe he can do magic or something
that makes him more of a threat against Henry kav
Highlander because you could say the Highlander being a big
(41:16):
guy dependent on his strength to win and stuff. And
then so I don't know, We'll see, do you so.
Speaker 2 (41:22):
Let me I just make sure I understand though, So
you don't want them to do like the story with Ramirez,
Dementtor Kurgan, the arch Nemesis.
Speaker 1 (41:34):
I'm of two minds of it because is Highlander a
cult classic? Yes? Is Highlander ridiculous when you start picking
it apart. Yes, you had one of the most famous actors.
God knows how they got him into this movie because
it wasn't like a huge thing it was low budget
French director making this movie where they had a Frenchman
(41:55):
playing a Scotsman who couldn't do a Scottish accent to
save his life. He was just learning English to play
this role. So then they get a famous Scotsman who
was James Bond to play an Egyptian in a Spanish
costume because he's been around for a long time blah blah.
But he still speaks like Sean Connery. And so now
you're getting Russell Crowe, an English actor or English or Australian.
(42:17):
I can't remember Australian Australian, so he still has He's
got it in an English or Australian accent, a thick
Australian accent. I don't think I've ever heard Russell Crowe
do other accents. So can he do a French accent?
I don't know, and have it be believable? Like that's
the thing. If you're going to do miras and do
the same character, then you have to do it better
(42:39):
than it was done.
Speaker 2 (42:40):
And originally I think they will. Yeah, I think that
Ramirez the character will be remade to be not so convoluted.
But it's funny what you say about the Highlander movies,
so you could pick them apart. I don't know, man,
those at least those first two Big Highlander two.
Speaker 1 (42:58):
Oh, come on.
Speaker 2 (43:02):
I'm not saying you're wrong, but what I'm saying, for
some reason, the general zeitgeist was like on those movies.
And I judged this because my mom, who cares nothing
about comic books, none of that dumb shit, but was
into the Highlander movies. I know she liked long Hair
Christopher Lambert, so maybe that was the secret sauce. I'm
telling you, Like, my mom is not like a sword fighter,
(43:25):
sword and sorcery at all, But I don't know. This
was something that like came across the That's all I'm saying,
And I had a little something I don't know.
Speaker 1 (43:35):
I also argue to this day is one of the
things that did make that movie an epic cult classic
is the soundtrap.
Speaker 2 (43:41):
Sure, absolutely. And the thing is you can't go wrong
with Queen so good that when they did the TV show,
they still had them on there.
Speaker 1 (43:50):
So that's the question, Like I keep wondering that too,
What do you do? How did you try to recreate that?
And you can't. It's lightning in a bottle right, Like,
you can't recreate it. But do you get like another band,
a band of this time?
Speaker 2 (44:04):
No, because there is no there's no band. There's no Yeah, no,
there's no band that even compares to Queens. It's our
day and age. Man. I honestly say, you keep the Queen,
you at least the main theme. And who wants to
Live Forever? I think you could still incorporate those two.
(44:24):
Probably a couple of the other ones too. I don't know.
I keep what I could, honestly, it's that good.
Speaker 1 (44:29):
Yeah, but you know that if they do it, they
will get someone else to re record them, and like
Rihanna or something to re record Who wants to Live Forever?
Speaker 2 (44:37):
Oh my god, that Puluga Whale? Come on, No, oh
my no, they can't do that. They can't, they can
and they will. This is Hollywood, Oh my god. Anything
to piss you off is what they will get. Like,
what is even a legitimate rock band that exists today
that's not from the past. I don't know that.
Speaker 1 (44:56):
I don't know even Sevenfold because they've been around for
a long time.
Speaker 2 (45:00):
Yeah, I don't know. There's no new Birn.
Speaker 1 (45:03):
No. That's funny because there are, but there aren't like
as big what's that one? The kids from like the Midwest,
Greta van Fleet, Like they came out and they have
a classic rock sound and like they had gained a
lot of buzz when they first came out, but then
they fizzled out. So yeah, oh god, I could go.
Speaker 2 (45:24):
On this for the rest of the Yeah, they should
just stick with Queen, at least for a couple of
them there.
Speaker 1 (45:30):
All right, we'll see I when they get the whole
cast together. I'm sure there will be an announcement of
of the cast and who they're playing. We'll see, hopefully
this will all be settled.
Speaker 2 (45:40):
What if they do a bait and switch and it's
a Russell Crow just Connor McCleod, Now let's not go there,
all right, Andrey Cavill's a Kurgan.
Speaker 1 (45:51):
What if Johnny Depp was Romiro?
Speaker 2 (45:53):
Oh no, all right, too busy playing rock music.
Speaker 1 (45:56):
Yeah, it's true, you know what, no depth I could
see For some reason, I wasn't thinking. I was thinking
Kanna Reeves. That would be terrible. But I could see Depp.
I could see Depp as ram crazy. I don't know,
all right, what's that time? Let's ask that question that
we do every episode.
Speaker 2 (46:13):
What do we learn on the show to night?
Speaker 1 (46:17):
So what did you learn or do you have any
recommendations there, Donny boy?
Speaker 2 (46:22):
Yeah, no, I learned that Doctor Who is a way
bigger deal than in my mind because it scared me
as a child, right, but it does have a magic set,
so I can't argue Matt Smith is a BT reactor. Yeah, recommendations.
You know what, I still have not fucking watched Twisted
Metal season two, and I think I might just freaking
(46:42):
do that right after the show.
Speaker 1 (46:44):
All right, there you go. I learned that thron I
was probably a little younger than us and can name
bands like Skillet, bed Wolves or Dynamite or Diamente. I
don't even know how you say that. When I when
there are bands that like people know and I've never
heard of, I go, God, I'm old, you know.
Speaker 2 (47:03):
Thank you?
Speaker 1 (47:04):
This has been a This has been an episode of
me learning I'm old, and I thank you all for that.
That's what I learned this recommendations. Yeah, I'm on, I'm
in the same boat. Did not get to watch anything
this week, and maybe I'll go I'll get off of
here and watch Twisted Metal as well. We shall see,
we shall see. I might just go to bed. But
that's it for us this week or this episode. So
(47:26):
on that note, boys and girls, as always, thanks for watching.
Don't let you keepe gotten the door. See you next time.
