I'm joined by TFG1 Mike. Hello, 00:00:33.070 --> 00:00:38.329 I'm here. Yes, so in this week's Adventure into 00:00:38.329 --> 00:00:43.630 Geekdom, we have some interesting topics, some 00:00:43.630 --> 00:00:48.799 news, some conversation. Without further ado, 00:00:48.899 --> 00:00:51.000 thank you for tuning in. And if you like the 00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:52.939 show, do me a favor and share it with your friends 00:00:52.939 --> 00:00:55.520 on the socials. You can find it anywhere at Altered 00:00:55.520 --> 00:01:02.920 Geek as well as on geekcastradio .com. So it's 00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:04.939 been a little bit since there's been an episode. 00:01:05.019 --> 00:01:08.540 So what's been new with you before we jump into 00:01:08.540 --> 00:01:14.599 it? What's been new with me? Let's see. I've 00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:17.189 been losing my mind. My health is going down 00:01:17.189 --> 00:01:23.090 the drain and I think I'm going to die. So business 00:01:23.090 --> 00:01:29.489 as usual. Yeah, pretty much. Same shit, different 00:01:29.489 --> 00:01:38.390 day. Yep. So with that. Funny guy. Yeah, we're 00:01:38.390 --> 00:01:41.870 trying to end Podcaster Meets World this year. 00:01:42.759 --> 00:01:46.099 yes we're we're going no no there's no try we're 00:01:46.099 --> 00:01:50.280 going to do it that's that's no there's no try 00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:54.140 because if we end it next i think if we end it 00:01:54.140 --> 00:01:56.879 next year it'll be 10 years since we started 00:01:56.879 --> 00:02:00.140 that damn show i think that's what it is because 00:02:00.140 --> 00:02:03.430 i think we started it in 2016 Because we had 00:02:03.430 --> 00:02:08.030 the top 100 TV shows in 2015 and it came in at 00:02:08.030 --> 00:02:11.770 number 50 out of the 100 TV shows that were listed. 00:02:12.009 --> 00:02:14.409 And we both scoffed at that and we're like, what 00:02:14.409 --> 00:02:17.030 the hell are you talking about? 50 out of 100. 00:02:18.689 --> 00:02:21.189 Easily top 25. I mean, come on. I mean, some 00:02:21.189 --> 00:02:28.800 episodes do deserve that, but. Yeah, but. But 00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:31.620 yes, we are working on getting Podcaster Meets 00:02:31.620 --> 00:02:36.500 World going and finishing that up. Yeah, episode 00:02:36.500 --> 00:02:42.419 zero was February 2nd, 2016. This is the funny 00:02:42.419 --> 00:02:45.860 thing about that podcast, folks. I'm sorry. Steve's 00:02:45.860 --> 00:02:51.060 going to go on his 3D printing love fest here 00:02:51.060 --> 00:02:52.840 in a little while. So I'm going to go on my podcast 00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:56.750 love fest here now. February 2nd, 2016. You know 00:02:56.750 --> 00:03:01.870 when the first episode aired? No. April 28th. 00:03:01.870 --> 00:03:08.289 April 28th, 2018. Okay, took us two years. To 00:03:08.289 --> 00:03:17.069 actually get going. This is supposed to be a 00:03:17.069 --> 00:03:22.389 15, 20 episode mini podcast that should have 00:03:22.389 --> 00:03:26.060 taken us a year at best. It's taken us almost 00:03:26.060 --> 00:03:31.139 10 between episode three and episode four, 2018 00:03:31.139 --> 00:03:34.759 to 2021. I mean, you know, there was that whole 00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:37.039 thing in the middle there that happened after, 00:03:37.099 --> 00:03:41.460 you know, 2019, but you know, it is what it is. 00:03:41.520 --> 00:03:45.180 We love the show. We love doing the podcast or 00:03:45.180 --> 00:03:50.699 whatever, but just other things were more important 00:03:50.699 --> 00:03:53.319 when it came to podcasting. We had transformer 00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:56.860 stuff. We had, Altered Geek stuff. We had other 00:03:56.860 --> 00:04:01.500 stuff. Well, I had a lot of job situation stuff 00:04:01.500 --> 00:04:07.099 between 2016 and like two years ago. Yeah. At 00:04:07.099 --> 00:04:11.259 least now you're settled. Hopefully. Hopefully. 00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:15.159 For the most part. Hopefully. You never know. 00:04:15.939 --> 00:04:21.680 You never know. But yeah, I mean, so we're working 00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:24.819 on that, working on a very... other shows um 00:04:24.819 --> 00:04:27.439 i'm waiting for side projects to die down at 00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:31.899 time to actually properly revive the cyber dragon 00:04:31.899 --> 00:04:36.779 ball and m wire i mean i did put out a new cyber 00:04:36.779 --> 00:04:39.720 dragon ball episode like a week or two ago uh 00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:43.800 by the time of this recording but uh yeah i would 00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:48.939 like to do it more consistently yeah well that's 00:04:48.939 --> 00:04:52.519 so i'm kind of waiting consistent is key yeah 00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:58.600 Yeah. And so I'm waiting until some other stuff 00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:02.160 kind of goes by the wayside. So, yeah. So without 00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:06.300 further ado, we've got some some movie stuff. 00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:11.060 We've got trailers. We've got a movie that I 00:05:11.060 --> 00:05:15.360 watched on Netflix recently. Something with the 00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:22.379 Avengers and a toy discussion. So since you brought 00:05:22.379 --> 00:05:28.139 up the trailers, why don't you kick it off with 00:05:28.139 --> 00:05:32.439 that first? All right, trailers. This will be 00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:34.939 quick, easy, and painless, folks, I promise. 00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:40.819 Since, you know, we don't really talk about sports 00:05:40.819 --> 00:05:42.759 around here on the Geekcast Radio Network all 00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:44.680 that often. I mean, we did have the sports gal 00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:47.500 pal on here. We interviewed her a number of years 00:05:47.500 --> 00:05:51.589 ago now. I was born and bred in Boston, Massachusetts. 00:05:52.930 --> 00:05:55.709 Boston sports is in my blood. It always has been 00:05:55.709 --> 00:05:59.250 in my blood. So whenever anything Boston sports 00:05:59.250 --> 00:06:03.649 pops up anywhere, my ears perk up, my eyes bug 00:06:03.649 --> 00:06:08.589 out and we're like, what, what's this? Um, currently 00:06:08.589 --> 00:06:12.110 I believe it's supposed to be a nine episode 00:06:12.110 --> 00:06:19.180 thing on max. Just like how Netflix has The Last 00:06:19.180 --> 00:06:22.420 Dance, which is the Michael Jordan Chicago Bulls 00:06:22.420 --> 00:06:26.879 special thing that they did for that. Max has 00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:31.500 Celtic City going through the Celtics history. 00:06:31.740 --> 00:06:35.339 So I'm currently watching that. Coming up April 00:06:35.339 --> 00:06:40.439 8th, Netflix is going to be doing The Clubhouse 00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:44.579 a year with the Red Sox. So they're going to 00:06:44.579 --> 00:06:47.939 be doing that. So I put the trailer for Celtic 00:06:47.939 --> 00:06:50.579 City out there in the show notes and I put the 00:06:50.579 --> 00:06:54.420 trailer out for Clubhouse there. Celtic City, 00:06:54.540 --> 00:06:57.259 as of this recording, just released episode five. 00:06:59.019 --> 00:07:01.439 So I'll be probably watching that as soon as 00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:06.060 we're done recording here. And it's just one 00:07:06.060 --> 00:07:10.560 of those things where like the Celtics, when 00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:13.740 they started, I wasn't even born. So getting 00:07:13.740 --> 00:07:17.199 to watch that part of history in sports, getting 00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:21.560 to actually watch what Bill Russell and John 00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:26.180 Havlicek and everybody else did in Boston for 00:07:26.180 --> 00:07:29.800 the city, for the fans, for the sport of basketball 00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:36.160 in the NBA. I mean, the Celtics were the early 00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:40.730 dynasty in the NBA. kind of thing and the red 00:07:40.730 --> 00:07:45.069 socks are are the red socks so you know it is 00:07:45.069 --> 00:07:49.449 what it is um but i just i love seeing that stuff 00:07:49.449 --> 00:07:52.370 and i love watching it it just that's just what 00:07:52.370 --> 00:07:55.129 i'm enjoying watching right now when it comes 00:07:55.129 --> 00:07:57.490 to certain stuff and i'm watching other stuff 00:07:57.490 --> 00:08:00.009 and other things but mostly like i'm watching 00:08:00.009 --> 00:08:04.610 that like i know unless i wrangle in one of my 00:08:04.610 --> 00:08:07.910 cousins or something i'm pretty sure i'm not 00:08:07.910 --> 00:08:10.029 going to get anybody to do a celtic city podcast 00:08:10.029 --> 00:08:14.410 with me you know so that i'm watching actually 00:08:14.410 --> 00:08:18.350 to watch to enjoy the thing and i don't feel 00:08:18.350 --> 00:08:22.410 like i have because it's a history thing for 00:08:22.410 --> 00:08:26.670 me like i said and you know it just is so it's 00:08:26.670 --> 00:08:29.449 not something i feel like i have to podcast about 00:08:29.449 --> 00:08:32.669 other than talking about it here now where it's 00:08:32.669 --> 00:08:36.470 like Oh, this is cool. I can sit back, relax, 00:08:36.590 --> 00:08:42.429 enjoy this and not have to do all the podcast 00:08:42.429 --> 00:08:47.309 prep stuff to then talk about what I watched 00:08:47.309 --> 00:08:49.649 kind of thing. And I'm not complaining about 00:08:49.649 --> 00:08:51.809 it. It's not a complaint at all. I'm just saying 00:08:51.809 --> 00:08:54.309 it's very rare that I get to do that these days 00:08:54.309 --> 00:08:57.009 because most of the stuff that I watch. I watch 00:08:57.009 --> 00:09:00.669 so we can talk about it. And I just, we just 00:09:00.669 --> 00:09:04.409 recorded, yeah, we just recorded, we just recorded 00:09:04.409 --> 00:09:09.909 Podcaster Meets World episode 13. Didn't we mention 00:09:09.909 --> 00:09:12.750 Wedding Crashers in that episode? Yeah, we did 00:09:12.750 --> 00:09:15.730 because Corey and Topanga were Wedding Crashers. 00:09:15.730 --> 00:09:18.730 I think so. Yes, yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because 00:09:18.730 --> 00:09:21.490 they crashed, because she's in the second half 00:09:21.490 --> 00:09:24.480 of season six. They're preparing for their wedding, 00:09:24.539 --> 00:09:29.200 and they go to this fancy wedding where the bride's 00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:32.500 father is trying to bribe Corey. One million 00:09:32.500 --> 00:09:36.120 dollars! And I brought up the movie Wedding Crashers, 00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:38.100 and I just looked on Netflix. Guess what's on 00:09:38.100 --> 00:09:41.840 Netflix? Wedding Crashers. Guess what has a 20th 00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:45.440 anniversary this year? Wedding Crashers. Wedding 00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:47.720 Crashers. New episode of Studio 2009 coming later 00:09:47.720 --> 00:09:56.429 this year. Oh, God. So, yeah, Celtic City is 00:09:56.429 --> 00:10:00.850 on now on Max. If you have Max, if you want to 00:10:00.850 --> 00:10:04.210 learn about the Boston Celtics and the history 00:10:04.210 --> 00:10:08.210 of that, like I said, there's that. And then 00:10:08.210 --> 00:10:10.649 the clubhouse for the Red Sox. I'm interested 00:10:10.649 --> 00:10:13.230 to see that, the clubhouse thing, because a year 00:10:13.230 --> 00:10:16.909 with the Red Sox, I don't know where that's going 00:10:16.909 --> 00:10:20.169 to, I don't know. I got to look at that trailer 00:10:20.169 --> 00:10:23.190 again because I'm not sure where exactly in the 00:10:23.190 --> 00:10:26.330 history that that is, if that's current or if 00:10:26.330 --> 00:10:31.110 that's whatever. Because last year, for the 20th 00:10:31.110 --> 00:10:34.190 anniversary since the Red Sox did the big comeback 00:10:34.190 --> 00:10:38.570 in 2004, last year Netflix did the special The 00:10:38.570 --> 00:10:41.450 Comeback, revisiting and talking about the history 00:10:41.450 --> 00:10:44.789 of the big comeback against the Yankees and the 00:10:44.789 --> 00:10:47.289 fact that the Red Sox won the 2004 World Series. 00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:50.580 I'm not sure what exactly. I don't remember off 00:10:50.580 --> 00:10:52.519 the top of my head about the clubhouse, but I'm 00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:54.759 very excited for that. So yeah, trailers. Yay! 00:10:57.960 --> 00:11:02.120 Yeah, and then speaking of trailers, I thought 00:11:02.120 --> 00:11:09.039 it was kind of funny that we finally got YouTube 00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:14.100 cracking down on those garbage fake trailers 00:11:14.100 --> 00:11:21.860 and their monetizations. I saw news on that earlier 00:11:21.860 --> 00:11:24.919 and I was ecstatic. I was like, oh, finally. 00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:32.820 There's only one fake trailer I've ever actively 00:11:32.820 --> 00:11:40.139 enjoyed. And that's the one with old Superman, 00:11:40.340 --> 00:11:45.000 old Batman. It's all this old combination of 00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:47.919 footage of movies that have already been out. 00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:53.299 kind of thing it it's an old old you know which 00:11:53.299 --> 00:11:55.919 one i'm talking if you see it if i send it to 00:11:55.919 --> 00:11:58.820 you later you'll know within two seconds oh yeah 00:11:58.820 --> 00:12:02.139 i remember this uh that's the i don't do fake 00:12:02.139 --> 00:12:07.279 trailers i don't want like we don't get political 00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:09.279 on the geekcaster network folks but i'm gonna 00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:11.559 say this anyway i don't care what kind of news 00:12:11.559 --> 00:12:14.019 it is i don't care what industry of news it is 00:12:14.019 --> 00:12:17.200 i don't want fake shit in my news I don't want 00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:20.519 fake stuff in my trailers. I want the real stuff. 00:12:22.220 --> 00:12:26.340 I get it. People are excited. I get it. People 00:12:26.340 --> 00:12:29.980 want to make like, there's a difference in a 00:12:29.980 --> 00:12:35.399 fake trailer and a, and a, and somebody wanting 00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:39.860 to do their own thing with like, like a, I don't 00:12:39.860 --> 00:12:43.559 know much, but I guess it's an homage. I don't 00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:48.360 know. Don't do it, folks. Don't try to make shit 00:12:48.360 --> 00:12:50.820 up that isn't already there, please. I mean, 00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:57.480 not with trailers. Don't try to like. Give me 00:12:57.480 --> 00:12:59.799 an example of a fake trailer you saw recently. 00:13:02.879 --> 00:13:08.100 Hmm. It's it's more so just like the stuff like 00:13:08.100 --> 00:13:11.019 they they try and like I've seen some of the 00:13:11.019 --> 00:13:16.360 Avengers or Marvel related stuff. on on youtube 00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:20.419 specifically and you can like they splice different 00:13:20.419 --> 00:13:23.720 stuff together or then you've got the ai stuff 00:13:23.720 --> 00:13:28.659 where they've kind of created it um i don't know 00:13:28.659 --> 00:13:31.220 i can't tell one specifically but i've i've seen 00:13:31.220 --> 00:13:33.539 a few of them when i'm actively trying to find 00:13:33.539 --> 00:13:39.759 a legit trailer yeah and it's it's highly frustrating 00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:42.279 especially when you're trying to see something 00:13:42.279 --> 00:13:45.019 legit Like it would be one thing if they just 00:13:45.019 --> 00:13:49.120 labeled it, you know, like fan trailer. Just 00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:51.759 right off the bat instead of trying to like actively. 00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:57.000 But I'm glad that they. They're demonetizing 00:13:57.000 --> 00:14:03.519 those because honestly. I know it's not like 00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:05.860 their commentary. It's not like they're adding 00:14:05.860 --> 00:14:07.840 something. They're just creating. I mean, yeah, 00:14:07.860 --> 00:14:10.700 they're fun if that you're into that. But I mean, 00:14:10.740 --> 00:14:15.639 I I'm not. and again like like i said that one 00:14:15.639 --> 00:14:18.639 that's the justice league because the the whole 00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:20.620 point of the old superhero one that i'm talking 00:14:20.620 --> 00:14:27.000 about is it's it's like i don't think it was 00:14:27.000 --> 00:14:28.740 it might have been christopher reeve i don't 00:14:28.740 --> 00:14:30.779 think it was but it was like christopher reeve 00:14:30.779 --> 00:14:36.960 michael keaton yeah it was and um wonder woman 00:14:36.960 --> 00:14:42.039 linda carter uh it was all of them but that was 00:14:42.039 --> 00:14:46.200 like That was done like 14, 15 years ago from 00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:48.580 stuff that had already been out. What you're 00:14:48.580 --> 00:14:51.200 talking about is people trying to fit together 00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:56.019 things that either aren't released yet or just 00:14:56.019 --> 00:14:58.480 making up their own stuff. And it's like, yeah, 00:14:58.519 --> 00:15:00.639 I mean, I don't mind the ones that like they 00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:03.440 somebody used AI to create from with Christopher 00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:06.720 Reeve, Michael Keaton and Linda Carter and. um 00:15:06.720 --> 00:15:10.679 john wesley ship and you know all those guys 00:15:10.679 --> 00:15:12.759 like creating the justice league from like the 00:15:12.759 --> 00:15:18.019 90s or like you know earlier than that like i 00:15:18.019 --> 00:15:20.620 was fine with that like because that that was 00:15:20.620 --> 00:15:24.179 just you can tell it's fake and it was just it 00:15:24.179 --> 00:15:25.899 was different but like the ones that are trying 00:15:25.899 --> 00:15:29.360 to pass off as a modern movie coming out now 00:15:29.360 --> 00:15:35.159 that's that's where i kind of I'm like, OK, that's 00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:42.399 not. But yeah, that's. It's one of those things 00:15:42.399 --> 00:15:47.919 that I'm just not fond of in general. Yeah, me 00:15:47.919 --> 00:15:53.799 either. Now I'm going to skip along because I'll 00:15:53.799 --> 00:15:58.679 touch on the action figure stuff later. Should 00:15:58.679 --> 00:16:02.100 we do the Marvel or the electric state? Well, 00:16:02.139 --> 00:16:04.779 let's do the Marvel because it kind of ties into 00:16:04.779 --> 00:16:07.340 the movie stuff. Electric State we can do in 00:16:07.340 --> 00:16:09.799 a minute. But the Marvel, I don't know about 00:16:09.799 --> 00:16:15.279 you, but if I see a certain thing one too many 00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:18.059 times in a short time span, I'm like, okay, I'm 00:16:18.059 --> 00:16:20.940 sick of this already. Did you know I finally 00:16:20.940 --> 00:16:23.659 watched The Social Network? Oh, did you really? 00:16:23.879 --> 00:16:26.740 What did you think? Actually, it wasn't too bad, 00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:28.360 but it jumped around too much in the beginning. 00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:33.009 Yeah, yeah. Uh, my Mary and I have been jumping 00:16:33.009 --> 00:16:35.769 around watching based on a true story films. 00:16:36.110 --> 00:16:39.809 Uh huh. So we watched the one about NASA and 00:16:39.809 --> 00:16:43.470 you know, the, the origins of the computers and 00:16:43.470 --> 00:16:46.629 you know, that they were actually people, you 00:16:46.629 --> 00:16:49.909 know, outsmarting, you know, being able to do 00:16:49.909 --> 00:16:51.769 the calculations and then they use the computer, 00:16:51.830 --> 00:16:53.730 you know, they got all trained on how to use 00:16:53.730 --> 00:16:56.450 the giant IBM computers, the size of a room that 00:16:56.450 --> 00:17:00.279 barely has enough memory. to compete with your 00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:06.500 mouse um and it was that was interesting and 00:17:06.500 --> 00:17:08.180 then you know of course we watch the social network 00:17:08.180 --> 00:17:11.079 and then i don't know what we're gonna watch 00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:15.539 next but i've got a list that we're gonna probably 00:17:15.539 --> 00:17:23.000 go through and try and you know uh try and just 00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:26.690 kind of enjoy them and then get a little bit 00:17:26.690 --> 00:17:28.430 of history with them at the same time, which 00:17:28.430 --> 00:17:32.150 is something we've been trying to do more of, 00:17:32.170 --> 00:17:36.869 uh, less brain rot and more something with a 00:17:36.869 --> 00:17:40.430 substance. Um, not that I don't occasionally 00:17:40.430 --> 00:17:45.150 enjoy the, you know, the other stuff, but I'm 00:17:45.150 --> 00:17:47.170 going back and watching older things because 00:17:47.170 --> 00:17:50.089 one, I haven't watched some of them and two, 00:17:50.230 --> 00:17:53.940 uh, it just kind of feels like it's, time to 00:17:53.940 --> 00:17:59.779 watch some of them yeah uh but yeah with with 00:17:59.779 --> 00:18:04.559 the whole avengers doomsday cast that i mean 00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:07.200 you can clearly tell they're not done teasing 00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:11.240 who's in it oh no they're not um and i i did 00:18:11.240 --> 00:18:13.539 like how at the end of the the teaser that they 00:18:13.539 --> 00:18:17.279 had uh robert downey jr at the end kind of going 00:18:17.279 --> 00:18:22.940 yep um but I find it funny. The first name is 00:18:22.940 --> 00:18:27.000 Hemsworth. Of course. Because, I mean, he's pretty 00:18:27.000 --> 00:18:33.799 much the only OG Avenger. Well, outside of Robert, 00:18:33.900 --> 00:18:35.940 but Robert is going to be doomed this time. Yeah. 00:18:35.940 --> 00:18:38.160 Well, I mean, you got Hawkeye that's still around 00:18:38.160 --> 00:18:42.059 and you got the Hulk. Yeah. But the rest of them 00:18:42.059 --> 00:18:48.130 are dead. Yeah. And and I'm fine with Hemsworth. 00:18:48.230 --> 00:18:50.549 Like, I I'm glad that he's kind of carrying the 00:18:50.549 --> 00:18:52.670 torch. And, you know, he's like, I'm happy to 00:18:52.670 --> 00:18:54.509 come back for as many films as you'll have me. 00:18:54.569 --> 00:18:58.789 And as long as the role is different. And then 00:18:58.789 --> 00:19:01.789 we've got Anthony Mackie is his captain. Yeah. 00:19:03.289 --> 00:19:07.470 Then we've got the, you know, Vanessa Kirby is 00:19:07.470 --> 00:19:10.569 Susan Storm for the new Fantastic Four, which 00:19:10.569 --> 00:19:13.289 I'm cautiously optimistic about just because 00:19:13.289 --> 00:19:17.890 they're kind of taking the 60s. to kind of differentiate. 00:19:19.309 --> 00:19:24.569 Yep. And then you get Ant -Man. Yeah, I could 00:19:24.569 --> 00:19:27.569 do it on him. I wish somebody would step on him 00:19:27.569 --> 00:19:34.069 already. I'm fine with him being there. And then 00:19:34.069 --> 00:19:41.029 we get... Florence Pugh. Yep. The White Widow, 00:19:41.029 --> 00:19:49.000 essentially. John Walker. And then we've got 00:19:49.000 --> 00:19:52.660 Namor, which he hasn't been in a film yet, right? 00:19:53.240 --> 00:19:56.619 Not to my knowledge. Not in the MCU. I could 00:19:56.619 --> 00:19:59.359 be wrong, but I don't think so. And then we got 00:19:59.359 --> 00:20:04.200 Shang -Chi, which is surprising because that 00:20:04.200 --> 00:20:08.740 movie bombed. Then we've got the White Wolf, 00:20:08.920 --> 00:20:13.680 Bucky Barnes. He's an OG. I mean, he's not... 00:20:13.829 --> 00:20:16.369 You know, I mean, he's not of the original Avenger 00:20:16.369 --> 00:20:19.710 film is what I'm getting at. That's what I'm 00:20:19.710 --> 00:20:22.130 counting as an OG, like not the fact that he 00:20:22.130 --> 00:20:25.369 predates them. Not the original six. Yeah. Yeah. 00:20:25.589 --> 00:20:30.349 But he's he's like immediate second tier. Yep. 00:20:31.490 --> 00:20:35.390 And then we get the new, you know, Shuri, the 00:20:35.390 --> 00:20:38.950 Black Panther. Which I thought that was kind 00:20:38.950 --> 00:20:40.750 of just why is just having her play the role 00:20:40.750 --> 00:20:44.119 rather than trying to recast. Absolutely. you 00:20:44.119 --> 00:20:47.400 know story progression it just makes sense Ben 00:20:47.400 --> 00:20:53.579 Grimm the thing and then we get into some X -Men 00:20:53.579 --> 00:20:58.539 which Kelsey Grammer is the beast which I loved 00:20:58.539 --> 00:21:00.599 the trailer where it was just kind of doing regular 00:21:00.599 --> 00:21:03.279 like Avengers music and then it went into like 00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:07.500 the X -Men theme like rolled into it it was like 00:21:07.500 --> 00:21:12.420 you know and I was like oh this is cool And then 00:21:12.420 --> 00:21:14.680 we get Sentry, which I'm not sure who that is. 00:21:16.079 --> 00:21:22.500 I think they're from that new anti -hero Marvel 00:21:22.500 --> 00:21:27.200 film. I could not tell you off the top of my 00:21:27.200 --> 00:21:30.619 head. I can't remember what. It's the new one 00:21:30.619 --> 00:21:34.940 that, you know, the White Wolf and all of them 00:21:34.940 --> 00:21:36.579 are in. I can't remember the name of it, mostly 00:21:36.579 --> 00:21:38.460 because I don't care and I'm not going to see 00:21:38.460 --> 00:21:45.230 it. And then we get the new Falcon. Yep. Joaquin 00:21:45.230 --> 00:21:49.029 Torres. And then we get the new Johnny Storm. 00:21:49.549 --> 00:21:54.269 Yep. And Red Guardian. Yep. Returning. And then 00:21:54.269 --> 00:22:00.349 we get M 'Baku. M 'Baku. Yeah, M 'Baku. I'm not 00:22:00.349 --> 00:22:03.430 sure who... Was he in the films? Yeah, M 'Baku 00:22:03.430 --> 00:22:08.690 is... He's in the Black Panther films. Okay. 00:22:08.769 --> 00:22:17.549 Oh, God. I want to say he's in the Black Panther 00:22:17.549 --> 00:22:23.569 films. That's OK. And then and then, of course, 00:22:23.670 --> 00:22:27.950 then we have ghosts who's again from. The same 00:22:27.950 --> 00:22:36.029 film as. As Bucky. Thunderbolts, that's the Thunderbolts, 00:22:36.029 --> 00:22:38.509 that's what it is. Yes, that's the all of the 00:22:38.509 --> 00:22:41.089 Thunderbolts are here. I'm wondering if they're 00:22:41.089 --> 00:22:43.529 going to be the catalyst to start this off. I 00:22:43.529 --> 00:22:46.309 think they are because I think somebody said 00:22:46.309 --> 00:22:51.130 something about something in the Avengers Doomsday 00:22:51.130 --> 00:22:56.750 teaser spoiled Thunderbolts or something. I don't 00:22:56.750 --> 00:23:03.410 know. People are just whatever anyway. And then 00:23:03.410 --> 00:23:08.400 we get Loki returning. Of course. I wonder which 00:23:08.400 --> 00:23:11.079 variant or if this is going to be the one that 00:23:11.079 --> 00:23:17.779 was in the Loki TV show. Like almost like he's 00:23:17.779 --> 00:23:19.900 connecting the threads to bring all of these 00:23:19.900 --> 00:23:25.119 people together. Yeah, probably. But he's an 00:23:25.119 --> 00:23:28.900 OG. So I would throw him in there and then we 00:23:28.900 --> 00:23:32.259 get the X -Men. We get Patrick Stewart is Professor 00:23:32.259 --> 00:23:40.019 X, which. They've killed him three times. Twice 00:23:40.019 --> 00:23:44.920 in the Fox universe and once in the MCU. We're 00:23:44.920 --> 00:23:49.799 going to go for four. Uh -huh. Yeah. Yeah. Some 00:23:49.799 --> 00:23:51.759 people have hinted that this film could be an 00:23:51.759 --> 00:23:54.599 X -Men versus the Avengers. I don't think it's 00:23:54.599 --> 00:23:58.400 going to be. I think it might start out that 00:23:58.400 --> 00:24:02.779 way. Yeah. But they'll quickly, you know, Doom 00:24:02.779 --> 00:24:05.339 will enter and they'll be like, we have a common 00:24:05.339 --> 00:24:09.539 enemy. Yeah. Like if they were really. So if 00:24:09.539 --> 00:24:13.819 if if the Marvel if Marvel Studios and the Marvel 00:24:13.819 --> 00:24:16.759 Cinematic Universe really wanted to do an AVX 00:24:16.759 --> 00:24:19.220 and Avengers versus X -Men based on the comics. 00:24:19.930 --> 00:24:23.809 They would market it as Avengers versus X -Men. 00:24:23.890 --> 00:24:28.410 They would not market it as Avengers Doomsday 00:24:28.410 --> 00:24:32.589 going into Avengers Secret. The whole point of 00:24:32.589 --> 00:24:34.869 Doomsday is leading into Secret Wars because 00:24:34.869 --> 00:24:38.349 Doctor Doom had a whole big to do with the Secret 00:24:38.349 --> 00:24:42.690 War. Secret War is the next big Avengers thing. 00:24:43.029 --> 00:24:47.230 So I would love to see that. I think that would 00:24:47.230 --> 00:24:51.039 be super cool if they adapted. the avx comics 00:24:51.039 --> 00:24:53.819 into the live action marvel cinematic universe 00:24:53.819 --> 00:24:56.880 but i think you're right i think it's gonna be 00:24:56.880 --> 00:25:02.819 you know it's it's gonna kind of be like uh world's 00:25:02.819 --> 00:25:07.180 finest i don't trust you you don't trust me oh 00:25:07.180 --> 00:25:09.859 crap lex and joker teamed up we have to work 00:25:09.859 --> 00:25:13.240 together yeah it's gonna be something like that 00:25:13.240 --> 00:25:19.470 and um Yeah. So, I mean, I see that happening. 00:25:19.589 --> 00:25:22.970 And then we get Ian McKellen coming back as Magneto. 00:25:23.309 --> 00:25:25.869 Yeah. Which is the first time since like Days 00:25:25.869 --> 00:25:29.650 of Future Past. Yeah. And then we get Alan Cumming 00:25:29.650 --> 00:25:33.150 coming back as Nightcrawler. Yeah. Which is cool. 00:25:33.269 --> 00:25:36.829 And Rebecca Romijn coming back as Mystique. And 00:25:36.829 --> 00:25:41.250 then Donut Lord. Yes. James Marsden as Cyclops. 00:25:41.269 --> 00:25:43.410 It's funny because somebody posted they're like, 00:25:43.589 --> 00:25:50.220 OK, there was a meme going around earlier. I 00:25:50.220 --> 00:25:53.180 don't remember what day it was. It was probably 00:25:53.180 --> 00:25:55.140 a couple of days ago. So they showed Jason Marsden 00:25:55.140 --> 00:25:58.660 in a car driving with the bunny, you know, having 00:25:58.660 --> 00:26:02.079 hot. And then it was him in the car again or 00:26:02.079 --> 00:26:04.339 the truck with Sonic the Hedgehog sitting next 00:26:04.339 --> 00:26:07.859 to him. And somebody was like, they're like, 00:26:08.000 --> 00:26:11.039 give this to me, Disney. And it's got Cyclops 00:26:11.039 --> 00:26:15.140 sitting in there with Rocket. Yeah. In the, in 00:26:15.140 --> 00:26:17.339 the image for doomsday, like as a joke. And it's 00:26:17.339 --> 00:26:20.220 like, it kind of makes sense. Like he's kind 00:26:20.220 --> 00:26:23.460 of typecast as the guy that's got the CG animal 00:26:23.460 --> 00:26:28.200 friend. Yeah. And the funny thing is, is I remember 00:26:28.200 --> 00:26:32.579 I just saw a clip the other day. I think it was 00:26:32.579 --> 00:26:37.380 at the Sonic three premiere. Where somebody asked 00:26:37.380 --> 00:26:45.920 him. So donut Lord in X -Men. he's like no no 00:26:45.920 --> 00:26:47.880 i don't know what you're talking about it was 00:26:47.880 --> 00:26:52.019 those rumors had been going around i think ever 00:26:52.019 --> 00:26:55.799 since he first starred in the first sonic movie 00:26:55.799 --> 00:27:01.000 like whether he would return or not as cyclops 00:27:01.000 --> 00:27:02.819 and i'm glad he's returning because honestly 00:27:02.819 --> 00:27:05.900 there's nobody else i can see in hollywood that 00:27:05.900 --> 00:27:08.400 could play that role better than he does even 00:27:08.400 --> 00:27:11.920 though he only had the Three or however many 00:27:11.920 --> 00:27:14.700 films he was in. I don't remember. He was only 00:27:14.700 --> 00:27:17.859 in those three. He wasn't in Days of Future Past, 00:27:18.019 --> 00:27:20.259 was he? No, he was already dead. People kept 00:27:20.259 --> 00:27:22.160 saying he was and I'm like, he was not there. 00:27:22.359 --> 00:27:27.940 No, he was not there. But yeah, I personally, 00:27:28.160 --> 00:27:36.380 I hope that I hope that for Magneto and Cyclops, 00:27:36.380 --> 00:27:41.539 they give them. The proper comic attire. Yeah. 00:27:42.400 --> 00:27:46.680 Like they did Wolverine and Gambit. I'm personally 00:27:46.680 --> 00:27:50.420 hoping that they do this. Because, I mean, Professor 00:27:50.420 --> 00:27:53.299 X already has the chair. They used it in Multiverse 00:27:53.299 --> 00:27:57.680 of Madness. Yep. So there's no reason why they 00:27:57.680 --> 00:27:59.599 won't do the rest of them. I think they've come 00:27:59.599 --> 00:28:02.200 to the realization that people want it. Yeah. 00:28:02.420 --> 00:28:06.470 And it will happen. um well and and jackman said 00:28:06.470 --> 00:28:11.109 he said recently over when when uh deadpool wolverine 00:28:11.109 --> 00:28:13.750 happened he's like somebody asked him how does 00:28:13.750 --> 00:28:16.869 it feel being in that suit he goes oh it feels 00:28:16.869 --> 00:28:18.750 fine it feels great i don't know what i was thinking 00:28:18.750 --> 00:28:22.430 25 years ago he's like i wish we would have done 00:28:22.430 --> 00:28:28.609 this 25 years ago yeah exactly um but yeah i 00:28:28.609 --> 00:28:30.150 think it's cool that they're all they're all 00:28:30.150 --> 00:28:32.309 reprising they're all coming back and then we 00:28:32.309 --> 00:28:43.849 get gambit finally coming back and and then we 00:28:43.849 --> 00:28:47.210 of course jump over to Pedro Pascal as Mr. Fantastic 00:28:47.210 --> 00:28:49.869 and then we get Robert Downey Jr. and then it 00:28:49.869 --> 00:28:52.349 you know this is now in production and then people 00:28:52.349 --> 00:28:54.589 were like well where's Doctor Strange where's 00:28:54.589 --> 00:28:57.569 Hawkeye where's Hulk where's Spider -Man where's 00:28:57.569 --> 00:29:00.470 Wolverine and Deadpool and you know these others 00:29:00.470 --> 00:29:05.069 and I'm like so Part of me thinks that they're 00:29:05.069 --> 00:29:08.650 not done revealing. Right. Part of me wonders 00:29:08.650 --> 00:29:10.849 if they're going to pull like a Mark Hamill in 00:29:10.849 --> 00:29:13.609 The Force Awakens where some of these show up 00:29:13.609 --> 00:29:18.170 at the end. Yeah. Part of me also wonders if 00:29:18.170 --> 00:29:20.890 the Avengers and the X -Men like the X -Men are 00:29:20.890 --> 00:29:23.069 drawn into this battle because the Avengers are 00:29:23.069 --> 00:29:27.289 failing so poorly against Doom, who is probably 00:29:27.289 --> 00:29:33.480 playing like he's Tony Stark. Oh, yeah. And almost 00:29:33.480 --> 00:29:43.480 doing like Justice League Doom, where the whole 00:29:43.480 --> 00:29:46.559 initiative that Batman has to take down the rest 00:29:46.559 --> 00:29:49.559 of the leaguers, I'm wondering if Doom is tearing 00:29:49.559 --> 00:29:51.779 them apart from the inside and the X -Men are 00:29:51.779 --> 00:29:55.079 drawn in by Loki to fix things. And in doing 00:29:55.079 --> 00:29:58.099 so, they have to bring all these other Avengers 00:29:58.099 --> 00:30:01.380 that aren't there. But I also get the vibe that... 00:30:02.480 --> 00:30:05.759 Every time the Avengers are in a fight and Hawkeye 00:30:05.759 --> 00:30:10.299 is not there, they lose. That's true. So I'm 00:30:10.299 --> 00:30:13.380 thinking Doomsday is going to be them losing. 00:30:15.460 --> 00:30:18.099 And then the follow -up film is going to be them 00:30:18.099 --> 00:30:22.839 resetting the slate. Yeah. Like full reboot with 00:30:22.839 --> 00:30:26.319 Fantastic Four continuing beyond. Yeah, could 00:30:26.319 --> 00:30:33.240 be. That's my thought. I hope that Wolverine 00:30:33.240 --> 00:30:35.359 gets to kind of finally play with the X -Men 00:30:35.359 --> 00:30:39.019 in the costume and, you know, Deadpool and Colossus 00:30:39.019 --> 00:30:40.559 and, you know, some of these other guys that 00:30:40.559 --> 00:30:43.079 have been there forever. Yeah, absolutely. But 00:30:43.079 --> 00:30:45.579 yeah, I mean, obviously they can only afford 00:30:45.579 --> 00:30:52.960 so much. So I'm, I'm hoping that we end up with, 00:30:52.980 --> 00:30:57.579 with a really good film either way. Just sucks. 00:30:57.579 --> 00:31:02.380 I got to wait a year. Oh, it'll go by really 00:31:02.380 --> 00:31:06.859 fast. Yes, I know, I know. But then again, 2025 00:31:06.859 --> 00:31:11.019 has felt like, you know, we're at the end of 00:31:11.019 --> 00:31:12.980 the first three months, it's felt like nine years. 00:31:13.079 --> 00:31:22.099 At least to me it has, but... Oh, boy. And in 00:31:22.099 --> 00:31:27.920 other movie stuff... Yeah, so I watched The Electric 00:31:27.920 --> 00:31:32.779 State on Netflix, which is done by the Russos. 00:31:33.660 --> 00:31:39.119 The Russo brothers did it. And I genuinely enjoyed 00:31:39.119 --> 00:31:43.279 this film for what it is. And it was very it 00:31:43.279 --> 00:31:48.619 felt very original. And fun, like just something 00:31:48.619 --> 00:31:53.140 I'd not seen before. Which Netflix seems to be 00:31:53.140 --> 00:31:56.670 doing really well at. uh, you know, the Ryan 00:31:56.670 --> 00:32:03.630 Reynolds stuff. Um, we've, we've had that, um, 00:32:04.109 --> 00:32:09.269 and his variety of films and they've all been 00:32:09.269 --> 00:32:16.490 enjoyable. Yeah. And so this one, I sat down 00:32:16.490 --> 00:32:19.170 kind of half expecting to enjoy it half thinking 00:32:19.170 --> 00:32:22.279 this is going to be stupid. Cause it's a bunch 00:32:22.279 --> 00:32:24.079 of, you know, robots running around talking to 00:32:24.079 --> 00:32:28.240 humans and green States. And then they, they 00:32:28.240 --> 00:32:29.960 explain that, you know, everybody's kind of plugged 00:32:29.960 --> 00:32:33.480 in and, you know, living virtually and not actually 00:32:33.480 --> 00:32:35.779 living. And I was like, okay, so it's got some 00:32:35.779 --> 00:32:40.660 Wally in there. It's got, you know, gamer, you 00:32:40.660 --> 00:32:45.839 know, that film. And, uh, it was just a lot of 00:32:45.839 --> 00:32:48.799 things going on in it. And I, I love how the 00:32:48.799 --> 00:32:50.700 robots felt like they were real, like they were, 00:32:51.250 --> 00:32:56.329 authentically there we had some I don't know 00:32:56.329 --> 00:32:57.990 there was a lot of throwbacks just a lot of stuff 00:32:57.990 --> 00:33:00.529 that was fun that kind of felt like 80s and 90s 00:33:00.529 --> 00:33:03.750 to it yeah so it kind of made me you know I was 00:33:03.750 --> 00:33:06.230 like oh I'm kind of at home here and then Chris 00:33:06.230 --> 00:33:11.809 Pratt kind of reminded me of he kind of reminded 00:33:11.809 --> 00:33:16.329 me of like a Han Solo type character but for 00:33:16.329 --> 00:33:23.759 a modern era so The voice acting was fun and 00:33:23.759 --> 00:33:28.920 kind of on spot. Stanley Tucci is like the bad 00:33:28.920 --> 00:33:38.019 guy. And then Giancarlo Esposito, I can't pronounce 00:33:38.019 --> 00:33:40.819 his name right, but he played Colonel Bradbury. 00:33:40.980 --> 00:33:45.980 He plays bad guys a lot and everything. But he's 00:33:45.980 --> 00:33:49.880 kind of a bounty hunter in this film. And I felt 00:33:49.880 --> 00:33:53.930 like he did. really well with what he was given 00:33:53.930 --> 00:33:58.650 and then we had um of course like the main characters 00:33:58.650 --> 00:34:02.430 the Millie Bobby Brown who's from Stranger Things 00:34:02.430 --> 00:34:05.309 and the Enola Holmes have Chris Pratt Guardians 00:34:05.309 --> 00:34:08.429 of the Galaxy and Jurassic World and you know 00:34:08.429 --> 00:34:10.849 the list goes on and on Jason Alexander was at 00:34:10.849 --> 00:34:16.230 the beginning uh Woody Harrelson he plays Mr. 00:34:16.329 --> 00:34:21.199 Peanut which was great uh I don't know. Hearing 00:34:21.199 --> 00:34:24.440 some of these older legends playing some of the 00:34:24.440 --> 00:34:28.820 robots was just a lot of fun. Brian Cox playing 00:34:28.820 --> 00:34:33.199 Popfly, which is he's a baseball bot that shoots 00:34:33.199 --> 00:34:37.079 baseballs, but he also falls asleep a lot. Jeez. 00:34:37.679 --> 00:34:45.199 I don't know. I found the movie to just be fun 00:34:45.199 --> 00:34:49.329 in general and just a lot going on. uh, Herman, 00:34:49.369 --> 00:34:54.190 that's Chris Pratt's character's friend is Anthony 00:34:54.190 --> 00:34:56.730 Mackie. Yep. So I'm like, you got the Marvel 00:34:56.730 --> 00:35:02.750 connection there. There you go. Yep. Um, and, 00:35:02.849 --> 00:35:08.329 uh, yeah. So, I mean, just, just overall, it 00:35:08.329 --> 00:35:15.940 was just, it was a lot of fun to watch. without 00:35:15.940 --> 00:35:17.760 giving too much away, especially because you 00:35:17.760 --> 00:35:19.960 haven't seen it. And then, you know, I, I want 00:35:19.960 --> 00:35:21.820 people to genuinely just go watch it because 00:35:21.820 --> 00:35:24.559 again, it was, it was fun in a different way 00:35:24.559 --> 00:35:27.719 than a lot of the crap that seems to be coming 00:35:27.719 --> 00:35:32.179 out or rehashes. Yeah. I'll give it a watch. 00:35:33.380 --> 00:35:38.280 Uh, the funny thing is, is that, uh, when, um, 00:35:38.340 --> 00:35:49.360 when I read the, uh, the basic plot of the film, 00:35:49.500 --> 00:35:57.639 I was like, huh. So just this line, where it's 00:35:57.639 --> 00:36:02.300 like, With the help of Center CEO Ethan Skate, 00:36:02.340 --> 00:36:05.800 who developed Neurocaster technology that allowed 00:36:05.800 --> 00:36:08.960 humans to upload their minds into drone robots, 00:36:09.340 --> 00:36:15.050 that reminded me of a... amazon prime tv series 00:36:15.050 --> 00:36:19.389 that debuted in 2020 that we were supposed to 00:36:19.389 --> 00:36:24.010 discuss on whatever show we were supposed to 00:36:24.010 --> 00:36:29.309 discuss it on you remember upload yep is it very 00:36:29.309 --> 00:36:34.730 similar so upload in 20 no it's it's not exactly 00:36:34.730 --> 00:36:38.730 similar but it it it's it doesn't have to do 00:36:38.730 --> 00:36:40.829 with robots it has to do with death unfortunately 00:36:41.840 --> 00:36:45.440 In 2033, humans can upload themselves into virtual 00:36:45.440 --> 00:36:48.900 afterlife of their choosing. When computer programmer 00:36:48.900 --> 00:36:52.260 Nathan Brown dies prematurely, he is uploaded 00:36:52.260 --> 00:36:55.460 to the very expensive Lakeview, but then finds 00:36:55.460 --> 00:36:57.940 himself under the thumb of his possessive still 00:36:57.940 --> 00:37:01.150 -living girlfriend Ingrid. As Nathan adjusts 00:37:01.150 --> 00:37:04.309 to the pros and cons of digital heaven, he bonds 00:37:04.309 --> 00:37:07.170 with Nora, his living customer service rep. Nora 00:37:07.170 --> 00:37:10.210 struggles with the pressures of her job, her 00:37:10.210 --> 00:37:12.889 dying father, who does not want to be uploaded, 00:37:13.090 --> 00:37:16.409 and her growing feelings for Nathan, while slowly 00:37:16.409 --> 00:37:18.690 coming to the belief that Nathan was actually 00:37:18.690 --> 00:37:26.190 murdered. Upload is supposedly getting a fourth 00:37:26.190 --> 00:37:29.429 and final season. At some point, according to 00:37:29.429 --> 00:37:34.130 this, as of 2024, it has not had its fourth and 00:37:34.130 --> 00:37:37.369 final season yet. It's got three seasons at this 00:37:37.369 --> 00:37:45.869 point. So, yeah, interesting. I don't know. I 00:37:45.869 --> 00:37:51.630 remember when this first hit Amazon. Again, I 00:37:51.630 --> 00:37:53.190 know we're talking about Electric State, but... 00:37:53.659 --> 00:37:57.199 i remember when this first hit amazon prime and 00:37:57.199 --> 00:38:01.579 karen and i had watched it and we watched that 00:38:01.579 --> 00:38:05.119 first episode we were just like oh my god this 00:38:05.119 --> 00:38:08.500 is hilarious like this is a show we should be 00:38:08.500 --> 00:38:10.539 podcasting about even though it's about death 00:38:10.539 --> 00:38:14.739 and dying and afterlife and what just the hilarity 00:38:14.739 --> 00:38:18.019 and the the dude uploads himself to the digital 00:38:18.019 --> 00:38:20.199 afterlife and the first thing he wants to do 00:38:20.780 --> 00:38:23.559 Is pee all over the wall. Because he can. Because 00:38:23.559 --> 00:38:31.340 he's dead. And it doesn't matter. So anyway. 00:38:31.559 --> 00:38:34.099 Electric State. Yes. I will watch Electric State. 00:38:34.300 --> 00:38:36.199 And I will report back next week. Because it 00:38:36.199 --> 00:38:39.579 does look really fun. Like you're saying. I saw 00:38:39.579 --> 00:38:44.000 the trailer earlier. And yeah. No. So very cool. 00:38:44.079 --> 00:38:47.360 Very cool. I'm just. I'm kind of over Pratt at 00:38:47.360 --> 00:38:51.380 this point. I am too, but he does really well 00:38:51.380 --> 00:38:54.739 on this. I mean, it's him. So, I mean, you know 00:38:54.739 --> 00:39:02.280 what you're getting. Yeah. But yeah, I mean, 00:39:02.300 --> 00:39:06.440 it was just it was fun and I wasn't expecting 00:39:06.440 --> 00:39:12.119 it. Cool. That's good. That's awesome. Looking 00:39:12.119 --> 00:39:20.579 forward to it. So with that aside. Getting into 00:39:20.579 --> 00:39:26.260 toy talk. Yes, toy talk. So in a previous episode, 00:39:26.300 --> 00:39:32.980 I brought up the Star Trek nacelle figures.

Cause I'd never seen this one before. 00:42:11.500 --> 00:42:14.019 Like he wore one similar in Star Trek two, but 00:42:14.019 --> 00:42:17.460 then it wasn't like this was, this was new. And 00:42:17.460 --> 00:42:19.760 so I, I just liked the aesthetic. I liked the 00:42:19.760 --> 00:42:21.639 color. I like, you know, just the whole thing. 00:42:21.719 --> 00:42:28.840 So, um, so anyways, they, the likenesses of these 00:42:28.840 --> 00:42:33.800 nacelle figures are spectacular. um they look 00:42:33.800 --> 00:42:35.619 just like the actors they look just like they 00:42:35.619 --> 00:42:37.559 did in the film for the most part i mean it's 00:42:37.559 --> 00:42:41.460 like the equivalent of a masterpiece figure for 00:42:41.460 --> 00:42:45.559 a you know a poor person pricing right um they 00:42:45.559 --> 00:42:47.780 you know he can clasp his hands behind his back 00:42:47.780 --> 00:42:52.139 he comes with uh because in the movie he's cooking 00:42:52.840 --> 00:42:54.980 in his house and so he's got this jar of dill 00:42:54.980 --> 00:42:56.659 weed so like they of course give him that and 00:42:56.659 --> 00:42:58.159 the two eggs that he cracks and then he's got 00:42:58.159 --> 00:43:00.420 some firewood and the stump and then the axe 00:43:00.420 --> 00:43:02.519 that he's chopping and then the horse so he can 00:43:02.519 --> 00:43:08.760 ride a horse and all of these come with the kirk 00:43:08.760 --> 00:43:14.320 figure nice and i was like okay this is uh this 00:43:14.320 --> 00:43:17.800 is kind of cool like i'm genuinely excited for 00:43:17.800 --> 00:43:21.199 this this figure like i this one for sure will 00:43:21.199 --> 00:43:24.329 be on my my go -to list like i'm gonna get it 00:43:24.329 --> 00:43:27.449 um and then of course they reveal the rest of 00:43:27.449 --> 00:43:29.210 the line and they added two more figures to this 00:43:29.210 --> 00:43:30.949 line to kind of flesh it out a little bit and 00:43:30.949 --> 00:43:32.730 they they kind of made sure they took something 00:43:32.730 --> 00:43:35.710 from every generation they took you know kirk 00:43:35.710 --> 00:43:40.530 from uh generations they took captain janeway 00:43:40.530 --> 00:43:45.469 from the episode year of hell um they took wharf 00:43:45.469 --> 00:43:48.269 from generations in the sailor uniform they took 00:43:48.269 --> 00:43:50.530 to paul from star trek enterprise season three 00:43:50.530 --> 00:43:53.800 and four They took Geordi with the sailor uniform 00:43:53.800 --> 00:43:56.780 from Generations. So we get three from Generations 00:43:56.780 --> 00:44:00.300 here. We get another from Star Trek The Undiscovered 00:44:00.300 --> 00:44:06.059 Country with Valeris, the betrayer. Yes, the 00:44:06.059 --> 00:44:08.840 betrayer. And then you get the Romulan commander 00:44:08.840 --> 00:44:11.400 from the original episode Balance of Terror, 00:44:11.639 --> 00:44:15.179 which was Mark Leonard, who later played Spock's 00:44:15.179 --> 00:44:18.760 dad. um carol marcus from star trek to the wrath 00:44:18.760 --> 00:44:22.340 of khan we get nog from deep space nine and then 00:44:22.340 --> 00:44:24.780 we get uh the character called bem from the animated 00:44:24.780 --> 00:44:30.579 series which i'm not familiar with uh but no 00:44:30.579 --> 00:44:32.519 i was just like okay this is kind of cool we 00:44:32.519 --> 00:44:34.860 got some next generation stuff we got some tos 00:44:34.860 --> 00:44:37.880 we got some you know star trek movies we've got 00:44:37.880 --> 00:44:42.940 specific episode versions of characters uh from 00:44:43.869 --> 00:44:47.750 Enterprise Voyager and Deep Space Nine and the 00:44:47.750 --> 00:44:55.369 animated series and so I'm genuinely I'm genuinely 00:44:55.369 --> 00:45:01.989 excited to see how well these prototypes show 00:45:01.989 --> 00:45:08.130 up and while I'll probably only get the Kirk 00:45:08.130 --> 00:45:11.849 from this line I'm excited to see what Nacelle 00:45:11.849 --> 00:45:18.559 does because For the first time in ages. I'm 00:45:18.559 --> 00:45:22.480 excited about a Star Trek toy. That isn't Playmates 00:45:22.480 --> 00:45:27.619 toys like the. The recent resurgence of Playmates 00:45:27.619 --> 00:45:31.460 toys into Star Trek like five years ago. The 00:45:31.460 --> 00:45:34.920 figures comparing them to the original figures 00:45:34.920 --> 00:45:38.480 that came out in the 80s and 90s and early 2000s. 00:45:38.829 --> 00:45:40.809 The ones that they came out with recently, yes, 00:45:40.849 --> 00:45:43.150 they have more articulation. Yes, they can physically 00:45:43.150 --> 00:45:47.610 sit in a chair without their legs going bow -legged 00:45:47.610 --> 00:45:51.909 out like they're trying to spread eagle. It's 00:45:51.909 --> 00:45:55.650 like they can actually sit in the chair because 00:45:55.650 --> 00:45:58.829 they have the articulation of modern toys, but 00:45:58.829 --> 00:46:02.929 they looked like crap. And they were shorter 00:46:02.929 --> 00:46:08.210 than the originals. And just felt cheaper. And 00:46:08.210 --> 00:46:13.590 I don't know. I'm glad for another company to 00:46:13.590 --> 00:46:18.869 take on what Playmates started with and kind 00:46:18.869 --> 00:46:23.829 of accelerated. And it's honestly actually, in 00:46:23.829 --> 00:46:25.750 my opinion, better than the Art Asylum stuff 00:46:25.750 --> 00:46:29.170 that came out years ago. I don't even remember 00:46:29.170 --> 00:46:32.110 that stuff. Yeah, I remember it, but it was like 00:46:32.110 --> 00:46:34.300 too much out of my price range. At the time, 00:46:34.320 --> 00:46:35.920 I mean, now I'm looking back and I'm like, oh, 00:46:35.980 --> 00:46:40.340 they were 30 bucks. It's like, but I mean, at 00:46:40.340 --> 00:46:42.619 that time, I couldn't afford that for, you know, 00:46:42.619 --> 00:46:44.960 a figure. And I was like, I don't I don't I don't 00:46:44.960 --> 00:46:47.579 want to. I mean, now I'm like, oh, that's kind 00:46:47.579 --> 00:46:52.079 of par for the course. But we've also got Master 00:46:52.079 --> 00:46:56.280 Replicas, which has and this is the weird thing. 00:46:56.380 --> 00:47:02.190 Nacelle has the rights to Star Trek of old. Anything 00:47:02.190 --> 00:47:06.909 predating the reboot of the J .J. Abrams from 00:47:06.909 --> 00:47:10.969 2009, everything from 2009 onward is by a different 00:47:10.969 --> 00:47:17.190 company, and everything 2005 to the 60s is Nacelle. 00:47:17.489 --> 00:47:22.090 Anything from the 60s to 2005, Nacelle can make. 00:47:22.909 --> 00:47:25.070 But they can't make anything from any of the 00:47:25.070 --> 00:47:30.639 modern Trek series. Interesting. Which is weird. 00:47:30.760 --> 00:47:32.820 And they're only allowed to make in America. 00:47:35.179 --> 00:47:41.519 Weird. So I'll probably pre -order the Kirk when 00:47:41.519 --> 00:47:43.900 he's available for pre -order on their website 00:47:43.900 --> 00:47:48.480 because Walmart sells nacelle figures. They sell 00:47:48.480 --> 00:47:51.599 the nacelle company figures of biker mice from 00:47:51.599 --> 00:47:55.820 Mars. I don't know if I would ever see the Kirk 00:47:55.820 --> 00:48:01.690 in store. And so and BBTS doesn't carry this 00:48:01.690 --> 00:48:05.429 stuff. These are like exclusive through these 00:48:05.429 --> 00:48:09.050 companies. Otherwise, I would just preorder through 00:48:09.050 --> 00:48:14.929 them. But. But I'm genuinely excited for what 00:48:14.929 --> 00:48:17.570 Nacelle is doing. Master Replicas, on the other 00:48:17.570 --> 00:48:19.929 hand, which took the line of the Eagle Moss Star 00:48:19.929 --> 00:48:23.210 Trek ships. And they've kind of bought up other 00:48:23.210 --> 00:48:25.449 companies that have gone bankrupt or whatever. 00:48:26.190 --> 00:48:28.329 Taking the brands like they have some Star Wars 00:48:28.329 --> 00:48:32.349 and Star Trek, some Orville, Doctor Who, Battlestar, 00:48:32.389 --> 00:48:36.090 like they take a lot of sci -fi properties. They 00:48:36.090 --> 00:48:40.309 got the rights to all the modern Star Trek. And 00:48:40.309 --> 00:48:42.929 so they have like Picard season three of Worf, 00:48:42.929 --> 00:48:52.250 Riker and Picard. And. Looking at them like they 00:48:52.250 --> 00:48:58.360 do look pretty close. To the nacelle company 00:48:58.360 --> 00:49:05.079 figures. However. They've almost got like an 00:49:05.079 --> 00:49:09.480 unrealistic. Look to them that the nacelle company 00:49:09.480 --> 00:49:14.119 seems to have captured the exact likeness. And 00:49:14.119 --> 00:49:16.460 nacelle companies figures are also like six inch 00:49:16.460 --> 00:49:20.019 figures. Master replicas are like four and a 00:49:20.019 --> 00:49:23.340 half. So they'll fit more with the playmates. 00:49:23.960 --> 00:49:27.099 line but they're fully articulated so they again 00:49:27.099 --> 00:49:33.440 it's kind of it's weird I'm interested in some 00:49:33.440 --> 00:49:37.139 of those however like I don't know if I'll actually 00:49:37.139 --> 00:49:39.599 pull the trigger on any of the new stuff like 00:49:39.599 --> 00:49:43.739 from Picard season 3 just because it's another 00:49:43.739 --> 00:49:48.139 website that I would have to get crap from if 00:49:48.139 --> 00:49:52.639 BBTS had them all I would be happy but they don't 00:49:52.639 --> 00:49:56.869 so But yeah, I mean, it's a really weird place 00:49:56.869 --> 00:49:59.170 in the toy market, especially when companies 00:49:59.170 --> 00:50:02.309 that used to make toys don't make toys and companies 00:50:02.309 --> 00:50:06.110 that own licenses to certain brands license them 00:50:06.110 --> 00:50:10.030 out to other brands. And then it's a strange 00:50:10.030 --> 00:50:18.309 environment we're in. Very, very strange. And 00:50:18.309 --> 00:50:25.449 honestly, I'm kind of. I think toy companies 00:50:25.449 --> 00:50:30.710 have become like streaming. There's too much 00:50:30.710 --> 00:50:36.349 choice to get your toys from everywhere and anywhere. 00:50:36.750 --> 00:50:39.510 There's too much choice in streaming to watch 00:50:39.510 --> 00:50:42.210 your stuff wherever you want to watch it. Whether 00:50:42.210 --> 00:50:46.190 you purchase it on Fandango, whether you stream 00:50:46.190 --> 00:50:50.690 it on Netflix, Hulu, wherever, Max, wherever. 00:50:53.730 --> 00:50:57.449 Toy companies, same thing. It's like, Hasbro 00:50:57.449 --> 00:50:59.690 has this, but they're then licensing this out 00:50:59.690 --> 00:51:02.909 to Playmates, or Mattel has this, or Funko has 00:51:02.909 --> 00:51:07.090 this, or the guy that created Funko has left 00:51:07.090 --> 00:51:09.590 Funko and created this company now, or the guy 00:51:09.590 --> 00:51:11.829 that was running Funko for the longest time has 00:51:11.829 --> 00:51:13.929 now left Funko, and he's got his own company 00:51:13.929 --> 00:51:19.269 now. It just all feels way too splintered, and 00:51:19.269 --> 00:51:24.000 I don't know. Remember, folks, because we're 00:51:24.000 --> 00:51:27.500 recording this on March 31st, 2025. Tomorrow, 00:51:27.820 --> 00:51:34.119 April 1st, everything is a trap. It's a trap. 00:51:34.280 --> 00:51:40.460 It's a trap. So the other thing that's kind of 00:51:40.460 --> 00:51:44.159 funny, too, is Playmates got the license for 00:51:44.159 --> 00:51:49.880 Power Rangers from Hasbro. Yep. And these figures 00:51:49.880 --> 00:51:57.869 look like... crap um they so like i i looked 00:51:57.869 --> 00:52:00.389 at these and i'm like why would like i mean hasbro 00:52:00.389 --> 00:52:05.630 redid the automorphin rangers you know like like 00:52:05.630 --> 00:52:10.210 what bandai made back in the day and then um 00:52:10.210 --> 00:52:19.929 and then we got of hasbro more recently And then 00:52:19.929 --> 00:52:23.969 these ones, they just look weird, like weirdly 00:52:23.969 --> 00:52:26.409 proportioned, tiny head. Like, I mean, they don't 00:52:26.409 --> 00:52:28.889 even look there's something that just looks odd 00:52:28.889 --> 00:52:30.889 to the face and they're called Power Rangers 00:52:30.889 --> 00:52:34.230 Reignition. And it's like they're rehashing season 00:52:34.230 --> 00:52:36.630 one, season one and two Power Rangers all over 00:52:36.630 --> 00:52:38.429 again. And it's like, OK, we've we've had this 00:52:38.429 --> 00:52:43.570 beaten to death. Yeah. And it's not like they're 00:52:43.570 --> 00:52:46.449 reviving the old Rangers. It's like, no, they're. 00:52:46.889 --> 00:52:50.190 they they're rebooting like why make these again 00:52:50.190 --> 00:52:55.090 when hasbro just made them yeah really uh now 00:52:55.090 --> 00:52:58.110 the benefit here is like i mean they don't have 00:52:58.110 --> 00:53:00.389 the the armor coming off on the green ranger 00:53:00.389 --> 00:53:03.849 or whatever but they're also coming out with 00:53:03.849 --> 00:53:05.789 the zords again so like you if you missed out 00:53:05.789 --> 00:53:08.469 on the original dino zords and you know building 00:53:08.469 --> 00:53:11.469 them that hasbro came out with you know the crappier 00:53:11.469 --> 00:53:17.159 version Or even like kind of I almost equate 00:53:17.159 --> 00:53:21.119 them to kind of in the middle. They because they 00:53:21.119 --> 00:53:23.579 can shoot out of the saber tooth tiger and the 00:53:23.579 --> 00:53:27.300 triceratops. Out of their tail, like they have 00:53:27.300 --> 00:53:32.639 a colored blast that comes out. I think they 00:53:32.639 --> 00:53:34.699 sell them individually. I don't know that for 00:53:34.699 --> 00:53:36.420 certain, but I know that they sell the power 00:53:36.420 --> 00:53:41.639 more for they're going to. With. The power coins, 00:53:41.659 --> 00:53:44.320 all five power coins and 40 sounds and phrases, 00:53:44.519 --> 00:53:48.619 and they're selling the power more for. For 1699. 00:53:51.159 --> 00:53:54.800 Which I've never seen it that low. That's not 00:53:54.800 --> 00:53:58.099 bad. No, that's not bad at all. And I'm like, 00:53:58.119 --> 00:54:02.630 hmm. i'm like you're thinking about it well like 00:54:02.630 --> 00:54:04.550 that was one of those like bucket list things 00:54:04.550 --> 00:54:06.010 when i was a kid and even when i was a young 00:54:06.010 --> 00:54:08.349 adult i was like man i'd love to get my hands 00:54:08.349 --> 00:54:10.789 on a power morpher and then like a legit one 00:54:10.789 --> 00:54:13.530 like my 3d printed one is nice don't get me wrong 00:54:13.530 --> 00:54:17.829 but i i don't like i don't know it'd just be 00:54:17.829 --> 00:54:20.929 cool to have like the display item yeah well 00:54:20.929 --> 00:54:23.210 it's not just the display item it's you know 00:54:23.210 --> 00:54:25.690 what it is i don't i don't know if this will 00:54:25.690 --> 00:54:28.800 actually come across in the microphone because 00:54:28.800 --> 00:54:34.159 sometimes it won't pick it up but it's the lights 00:54:34.159 --> 00:54:38.579 and sounds man i bet that didn't pick anything 00:54:38.579 --> 00:54:41.380 up it did not but of course it didn't but no 00:54:41.380 --> 00:54:43.460 i mean it's the lights and sounds it's the fact 00:54:43.460 --> 00:54:47.679 that it'll look pretty close i mean i have the 00:54:47.679 --> 00:54:50.619 i still have the original playmates like communicator 00:54:50.619 --> 00:54:54.679 from star trek like the one i bought back in 00:54:54.679 --> 00:54:58.719 94 as well as like a couple of other Star Trek 00:54:58.719 --> 00:55:00.539 figures I actually owned back in the day. And 00:55:00.539 --> 00:55:02.260 then, of course, I've supplemented since then. 00:55:03.820 --> 00:55:06.519 But no, I mean, I'm super excited about that. 00:55:06.619 --> 00:55:08.559 They're going to come out with the Blade Blaster 00:55:08.559 --> 00:55:11.000 for 20 bucks, which will again have sounds and 00:55:11.000 --> 00:55:15.500 lights and all that. It's in some regards like 00:55:15.500 --> 00:55:18.639 I'm it's nice to see other companies take it 00:55:18.639 --> 00:55:21.159 on because somehow these other companies are 00:55:21.159 --> 00:55:26.840 making it work. Yep. like they're they're making 00:55:26.840 --> 00:55:29.139 the prices down to where people can actually 00:55:29.139 --> 00:55:31.460 get some of these things that for whatever reason 00:55:31.460 --> 00:55:35.619 hasbro couldn't get cheap and i don't know if 00:55:35.619 --> 00:55:37.840 it's like a playmates toys thing like i don't 00:55:37.840 --> 00:55:40.900 i really don't know like and it could be where 00:55:40.900 --> 00:55:43.920 it's manufactured like i i really don't know 00:55:43.920 --> 00:55:49.820 but um i'm kind of excited to you know finally 00:55:49.820 --> 00:55:51.559 get my hands on that get my hands on the kirk 00:55:51.559 --> 00:55:58.659 figure I find it odd that, again, other companies 00:55:58.659 --> 00:56:01.159 are taking on, like these new companies or even 00:56:01.159 --> 00:56:03.840 Playmates being as old as they are, taking on 00:56:03.840 --> 00:56:06.219 these licenses of these companies that have been 00:56:06.219 --> 00:56:10.460 around forever. And they're just kind of tossing 00:56:10.460 --> 00:56:14.480 them around to different ones and doing, in some 00:56:14.480 --> 00:56:17.860 areas, a better job than the company that owned 00:56:17.860 --> 00:56:21.989 the license previously. or produced the toys 00:56:21.989 --> 00:56:24.429 previously you know in the case of the power 00:56:24.429 --> 00:56:26.369 rangers like yeah the figures were better with 00:56:26.369 --> 00:56:29.929 the lightning collection but you know as far 00:56:29.929 --> 00:56:34.010 as their accessories they were unaffordable or 00:56:34.010 --> 00:56:37.530 you couldn't get your hands on them with uh with 00:56:37.530 --> 00:56:40.510 hasbro but playmates it'll be far more likely 00:56:40.510 --> 00:56:44.070 that i'll see in the store and then with the 00:56:44.070 --> 00:56:50.369 nacelle company again like these are like awesome 00:56:50.369 --> 00:56:52.369 figures like i think they'll scale well with 00:56:52.369 --> 00:56:54.329 the first contact playmates figures that came 00:56:54.329 --> 00:56:59.630 out way back when but uh yeah i mean i'm i'm 00:56:59.630 --> 00:57:03.530 super stoked for some aspects of the toy industry 00:57:03.530 --> 00:57:11.760 and then i'm and others i'm not so Yeah, absolutely. 00:57:11.940 --> 00:57:15.039 The other big thing that I've been keeping my 00:57:15.039 --> 00:57:20.639 eye on is in our back end of the website, under 00:57:20.639 --> 00:57:24.519 our podcast tab for published podcast episodes. 00:57:25.059 --> 00:57:32.440 So far, folks, in almost 16 years, 3 ,979, we 00:57:32.440 --> 00:57:36.480 are 21 away from 4 ,000 published podcast episodes. 00:57:41.929 --> 00:57:47.409 Bet you never thought we'd get that far.
