What news do you have for us this week, buddy?
All right. The start's a bit Daredevil heavy.
Right. So bear with me. So it's coming out that
Spider -Man Brand New Day is expected to take
place after the events of Daredevil Season 2.
Right. That Daredevil Born Again. is the first
live -action MCU Disney Plus show to run beyond
two seasons. Vincent D 'Onofrio has confirmed
that Daredevil Boarding End Season 2 is finished
and it's emotional, chaotic and just plain batshit
crazy. Daredevil adjacent, Spider -Man, Tom Holland,
has managed to injure himself on set. Bro, what
did they expect when they got where he's trying
to just do practical, practical, practical? He's
in a suit. For God's sake. He doesn't need to
be Tom Holland, bro. Yeah, he doesn't need to
be there. Young Tom Cruise. Jesus Christ. Him
and a female stunt actor. Well, he might have
just slipped off a gutter. So he might not have
even been in a suit. It just might have been
a simple. But if there was a female stunt. Yeah,
no. I believe they said it was a stunt. During
a stunt. Yeah. Why? Why does he need to do it?
Fair enough. Great. Good on you for doing it.
Yeah. But. At the end of the day, there's someone
there that was specifically hired to do that
job. Unless it's a scene where I think we've
seen him do a backflip on top of the tank through
Dublin and he took his mask off. Was that part
of the scene? Yeah, right. So whether his face
kind of, it was just easier because he can do
a backflip. I just hope he's not taking jobs
from other people. Because we don't want him
to take the jobs. He took the dirt. He's got
enough money. He doesn't need to take someone
else's job. Gosh darn. Cassie Lange is the third
person to be recruited by Kamala Khan and Kate
Bishop. The third person? Mm -hmm. So Kate Bishop
will reportedly be the leader of the Young Avengers.
Kind of saw that coming. Yeah. Yeah. I loved
her in Hawkeye, man. I thought she was so good.
Yeah. It's funny because I think, oh, hang on.
Did Hawkeye come out after Bumblebee? Did Hawkeye
come out after Bumblebee? Yes. Yeah, okay. Yeah.
I was about to say it's kind of one of the first
big roles I ever kind of noticed her in, but
no, I remember her from Bumblebee as well. She
was good in that too. Yeah. That was probably
one of my favourite Transformers movies. Yeah,
it's the best one. Yeah. G1. Yeah. That's all
they ever had to do, dude. I don't know. Like
I got a kick out of it when he turned into the
old truck in the first Mark Wahlberg one. Yeah.
But, you know, the rest of it was a... And then
they put him in that shitty fucking Western star.
God, that was ugly, that thing, dude. The pedibilt
that was in the blow -up bay ones was fucking
sexy as shit. Wasn't Optimus. Yeah. Wasn't Optimus.
And I know he's going, oh, we could have had
to step away from the cab over because it was
a size issue. If he was a cab over, he wouldn't
realistically be that big, and that's why Megatron
can't turn into a gun because they don't shrink.
So to go into that cab over was just like, thank
you, sir. Finally, you're making a Transformers
movie based on what people have watched when
they were kids. That's what you're selling it
for. They're the ones that are going to bring
their kids, oh, this is what we used to watch
when we were kids, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And it's nothing like what you watched. But what's
the point? Who are you selling it to? And I know
it still made all the goddamn money. Well, I'm
pretty sure it was that and it was a sponsorship
thing. It was with GM. Yeah. So, you know. Which
is why Bumblebee all of a sudden became a Camaro.
Yeah. Yeah. Marvel Jones III, who voiced the
Spider -Man villain Tombstone in the animated
series, will be returning to play the role in
Brand New Day. That guy, he's been in a couple
of B -grade movies and that. I like him, dude.
He's, yeah. And Tombstone was one of my favourite
kind of Spider -Man rogues gallery back in the
day. Dude, I loved him in the animated series.
Dude, such a good character. I'm ready. A DC
Comics fanboy posted on Twitter the other day.
Oh, X, sorry. Whatever. Should Vincent D 'Onofrio
play Swamp Thing in James Gunn's DCU? Mm -hmm.
Vincent D 'Onofrio commented underneath it. Yes,
he definitely should. Yeah. Oi, that'd be a sick
casting, dude. It would, yeah. So James Gunn
has potentially. leaked or spoiled or hinted
at that Brainiac will be the main villain in
Man of Tomorrow. There was a screenshot. Finally.
There was a screenshot of the script for Man
of Tomorrow and on the front was an anatomical
picture illustration of a human head with a brain
in it. So, you know, take from that what you
will. Come on, man. Just do it. Big enough threat.
For them to team up. Yes, dude. Just do it. All
for it, man. Who would you cast as Brainiac?
I mean, they could cast anyone as Brainiac, really.
Like, they're going to turn him green and shit.
Use some CGI on him or something because he's
fucking. I reckon Walter White would be a good
Brainiac. Not Walter White. Brian Cranston. Yeah,
Brian Cranston. Yeah, I can see that. I would
have loved to have seen him as Professor Xavier.
Yeah. Or, and he was just completely a wasted
character in Sidewinder, in Captain America.
Brave New World. Brave New World. Completely
wasted talent in that role, unless he's going
to come back later on and he's going to have
this massive arc, wasted actor. He could have
been an amazing Professor Xavier. But now they've
put him in the MCU there, I don't think we're
going to get him as Professor X, sadly. If we
get a Professor X outside of, I don't think we
will. I think they're going to kill off that
main. I think they're going to trim that line.
And then start again. Absolutely. This will be
the, these last two movies will be the reboot.
This will be the, we're starting scratch, guys.
Yeah. Well, I mean, I could see him setting up
a Marvel universe after all these phases to having
a mutant phase where there's, you know, we might
have some mainstays left over from the original
universe, whatever, but, like, you have those
characters in amongst mutants popping up. And
then at the end we get House of M. That would
be good if. You know, Wanda went away for ages.
Like, we didn't see Elizabeth Olsen. And then.
And then just bring her back and, yeah, that'd
be pretty cool. And then she's like, there's
no more mutants. Mm -hmm. Goddamn. Yeah, all
right. It's confirmed that the actor known as
Charlie Sheen. Yes. Is in talks to join the cast
of American Pie 5. That's not all. It's been
revealed that he will be cast as Stephen Stifler's
father. Oh, shit. And, well, the new one's based
on Stifler's mum's funeral. So, hmm. Could you
imagine? As long as the whole cast comes back?
Well, I mean, maybe not the whole cast, but,
like, majority of the original cast comes back,
it'll be fantastic. That Chris Klein guy, is
that his name, Chris Klein? God, he's a shit
actor. But that's just fucking. God, he's Joe.
Yeah, just a classic dumb jock type of character.
I think the shit acting works fine for that.
Yeah, for that movie. Yeah. But the other movies
he's been in are just, oh, God. I don't think
I've seen him in another movie. Played a detective
in some movie. Hang on. I'm going to give you
his fucking filmography. IMDB, baby. So. It was
a movie called, oh, he was in Just Friends. He
was hilarious in Just Friends, I've got to say.
Dusty Dinkleman? The guy who played the guitar
at her? Oh, shit, you were gay. I don't remember.
Rollerball? Stop it. He was so bad. He was a
detective. Now this just shows you how bad he
went. He was a detective in Street Fighter, The
Legend of Chun -Li. And in We Were Soldiers with
Mel Gibson. Terrible, bro. So this is kind of
stepping away from the news and rumours that
I've been reading. I love a rumour. On the Doomsday
set. So reportedly, take this with a grain of
salt, whatever, but this was from a Reddit post
where they've kind of, multiple things have kind
of lined up. Maybe 10 % of this might be true.
Right. Yeah. So the two teams of Avengers will
brawl as they meet the Fantastic Four. Nice.
A la Civil War. Yeah. A scene that was kind of
hinted at at the end of Thunderbolts, them having
issues and then Fantastic Four rocking up. So
that might just be fucking somebody guessing
that from all the what's going on. Apparently
a key sequence involves the TVA and Chris Hemsworth,
who filmed with no other. So he's going to be
crying. No other. Are we going to find out why
he's crying? Yeah, I don't know. So, yeah, well,
the TVA has got to do with both the Loki television
show and Deadpool and Wolverine. So who knows
where this is going to go. All I know is it's
going to be a romping good time. Yeah. The weird
kind of teaser with Doctor Doom looking like
a prince is not his final appearance. Oh. I didn't
even know there were. So it says the flyer. I
don't know whether it means the advertisement,
the banner thing that was in Brazil. Yeah. Or
whether it was talking about the – it was four
images of – Concept art that were leaked a while
ago. And he's a prince. He's got the robe and
like a court and stuff like that. Yeah. Fair
enough. I don't know if you're talking about
that. Disney lost nearly $4 billion overnight
after Jimmy Kimmel got sacked. I did see that,
yeah. And then five days later they put him back
on the air. Not even a week. Yeah. I did see
that. Did you see his? That's an expense. Expensive.
Expensive holiday. So apparently some people
have pointed out the fact that Disney was already
losing when that happened. Right. But if you
account for the days prior in that top to bottom
loss. Weren't as much as that. It was $2 billion.
So he was still good for about five of that.
Far out. Yeah. What an expensive holiday. Yeah.
Just look. They'd said that they may have overreacted
or acting too fast to kind of. He didn't even
say anything about Charlie Kirk. Did not mention
it. Political views. Did you see the opening
sequence? Yeah. Man, he gave it to Trump. Did
you see Jimmy Fallon's fucking response? No.
Tell what Jimmy Fallon's. Oh, I'll have to check
that out. Hilarious. So good. Freedom of speech,
dude. You can say whatever the F you want. You're
not, you know, as long as it's not hurting another
person, mate, feelings are subjective. I'm sorry.
I think Jimmy Kimmel said something in his opening
about the fact that, oh, this must be so embarrassing
for Trump. He might have to release the Epstein
files to make this go away. Yeah. Oh, shit. Americans
are going to hate us. Did you see the statue
that was erected in Washington on Friendship
Day? A 12 -foot brass appearing statue turned
up in the park. of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein
holding hands for Friendship Day. Did you see
the plaque? Yeah. It was his fucking birthday
card that Donald Trump wrote him. Oh, God. So
good. Oh, it was hilarious. I laughed my tits
off. No, they're still there, but, yeah, I laughed
so hard, dude. I could not believe it. I'm like,
someone spent money doing that. Because them
plaques, they're legit. Yeah. Man, it would have
been an effort to get it in there overnight.
It's Washington Park. They are good. Aliens did
it. Goddamn. In other news, Hugh Laurie has been
considered to play Mr. Sinister. Great casting.
I could see that, yeah. Hell yeah. Great casting.
Oh, goddamn great casting. He'd be another good
Professor Xavier too. Yeah. Do you reckon that
would bring Sinister in? No. No, he's too creepy.
Dude, not right now. We've only just got Satan.
He's always kidnapping them and cloning them
and doing weird stuff. Weird stuff. It's a bit
predatory to be putting on MCU movies and stuff
like that. Dude, we've only just got Mephisto.
They're not going to cram in Mr. Sinister now.
Sure, no. No. In for the reboot when everybody's
a bit older. Apparently a stunt double for America
Chavez has been seen on set and there's been
an Instagram post basically verifying that America
Chavez will be in Doomsday. Let's go. Let's go.
They've set up these pieces that have been lying
around for a while. She hasn't been seen since,
well, Doctor Strange 2 wasn't that long ago.
She's actually in the concept art for The Young
Avengers. I have seen that in the pool hall,
yeah. Tavern. I think it's a tavern. Either either.
They look cool. Dude. Emma Myers will officially
play Gwen Stacy in Spider -Man Brand New Day.
I've seen a lot of fan casting about that. Are
you sure that's a real one? That's off Cinematic
Entertainment and it has a red light flashing
that says confirmed. We'll wait and see. Mm -hmm.
That'd be cool. And if you don't know who that
young lady is, it's Wednesday, Adam's roommate
in Wednesday. She's also the lead in Minecraft.
She's also the lead in Minecraft. She was in
another movie. She's doing the rounds. She's
starting to get up there. Oh, actually, while
we're talking about the politics thing, did you
see that Jessica Chastain's movie, The Savant,
is being canned? Why? Because of the current
political climate over in America. They've just
put it on indefinite hold for now. We don't know
when we're getting it. Yeah, like Jessica Chastain's
like, why release it? Like, yeah, they've pulled
the pin for now. It will come out eventually,
but. All the pro -gun lobbyists have fucking
put their back behind that one. Yeah, okay. Yeah.
That sucks. It does. It really does suck because
that looked, like, pretty darn good. And the
last thing is Shang -Chi will most likely be
on Captain America's team. So he should. It is
the best team. They've apparently been spotted
together or whatever, a lot on set. John Cho,
John Boyega, Willow Smith have all joined the
anime -inspired sci -fi monster film Slime. Okay.
More will be told about that in due course. Right.
Liam McIntyre, star of Spartacus, the TV show.
Never watched it. Dude, missing out on a great
series. Fantastic series. He will star as Wolverine
in Insomniac's upcoming Wolverine game, which
will release next year. Nice. He looks a part.
There is, I've got a rumour. A character who
has been around for over 10 years will be killed
by Doctor Doom, kicking off Avengers Doomsday.
Okay. I'm not going to lie. That could actually
be a good catalyst. And Nicole Kidman and Elle
Fenning have been cast in A24's legal thriller
series, Discretion, which A24 just come on. A
series? Have they ever done a TV series before?
I don't think they have, mate, no, which could
be interesting. Okay. And a bit of news that
I think everybody should know. In one sequence,
Batman bench pressed 1 ,000 pounds and leg pressed
2 ,500 pounds. That was in a book titled Batman
Resting Peace. Because you're dead now after
you've done that? I don't think he actually lifted
it. I think it crushed him or he shit out his
intestines. Yeah, right. Okay. But yeah, that's
all my news, my friend. All right. We've got
a few trailers to check out. So many. A few that
I'm particularly excited for. Oh, dude, yeah.
I'm ready to fire. I think Mandalorian and Grogu
came out at the start of the week. I have ignored.
I've seen one still. It's the first one there.
Do you want to start with that? Titan High. End
with a high? Yeah. Avatar. Mm -hmm. Ooh, what
it? God, that's going to be a good show. Goddamn
He's so cool Fuck off with the heart Dude. To
be honest, I'm disappointed we're ending with
a movie. I wanted more seasons out of it. Dude.
Come on. How good did that look? It does look
fun though. Pedro Pascal in that? His voice?
His voice is in it, yeah. It doesn't need to
be. All you've got to do is get someone that's
got a gruffy voice like this and have a modulator.
Yeah. You could have saved so many millions of
dollars. This is how they're making up for Jimmy
Fallon. Just going in there with a ticket. Kimmel.
Yeah, Kimmel. Dude, that looks fun as shit. Last
shot, bubble. Fucking hell. It looks so cool.
Lazarus. Dr. Lazarus. I'm here so you can speak.
What thoughts would you like to discuss? God.
I've been speaking with him. And what have you
been speaking with God about? You. He said you
were a fake. Like father, like son. And I asked
him to punish you, and you know what he said?
What did he say? Faz is dead. He's dead. His
office. Something doesn't feel right. There's
been a lot of suspicious deaths over the years.
My sister. It was 25 years ago. Yeah, but two
unsolved deaths. And for both of them, the culprit
never caught. Where are you? I think whoever
killed Sutton killed Dad. Dad's suicide note.
It's not over. There's some sort of code. It
is messing with my mind. Care to elaborate? You
okay, son? Ghosts. Right in front of me. I've
been seeing people who have died, seeing them
like I'm seeing you right now. They were murdered.
So, are you on medication? Wait! All my professional
knowledge is telling me this cannot be happening.
It must be a trick of my mind, but I'm seeing
them. We live on once we leave these bodies.
You can't tell people you're seeing ghosts, son.
I put you in the loony bin. I just wanted my
dad back. This whole thing looks like you went
mental after your father's death. You don't think
I know I could be losing my mind? Did you find
a dead body? You better start talking, because
you look... Guilty. Dad, who murdered you? Dude.
I thought that was going to be more kind of like
sci -fi, kind of less supernatural. Dude, that
was cool. Looked interesting though, yeah. Well,
he and Lazarus, you think Lazarus, Pitt. Or coming
back from the dead. Coming back from the dead.
Yeah. Eternal life, that sort of shit. Interesting.
The astronaut. Something punctured your capsule
and shattered your helmet. What do you think
it was? Could have been meteor debris. If you're
lucky, you survived. Sounds like a close call.
We're all very glad that you're okay. Me too.
The department has secured a beautiful house
for your recovery. Out of the spotlight. Welcome.
Careful pushing yourself too hard. Expect everything
from nausea to dizziness, fever, hallucinations.
I'll see you soon. I'll see you soon. Try to
get some rest. Next house is miles away. Sounds
like a horror movie. There was something here
last night Followed me back find out what the
what is okay you got this Breach detected. Lockdown
initiated. I have this crazy bruising spreading
all over my body. I'm seeing things that aren't
actually there. The human body takes time to
remember how to function on Earth. Yeah, it is.
Jurassic Park, dude. Yeah. Intrigued. Just from
that scene, that was too much like Jurassic Park.
Do you think it's going to be a psychological
thing? She's going to be like... Connecting parts
of her past. Having weird -ass nightmares. And,
like, involving pop culture references and stuff
like that. Like, subtly, maybe. Or not so subtly.
I'm talking to you. I don't know. That threw
me. That was too much. Yeah. Green Lantern. Didn't
see one. What the fuck is wrong with you, bro?
This isn't The Bride. As you were saying, I'd
never heard anything about this until I saw it
come across the Instagram feed. Was I just the
same? Ooh, she had a head. Before the accident.
Dude, cinematography is gorgeous. Everything
we did, we did it on purpose. Maggie Gyllenhaal,
if you can tell from that. I can. No, it's not.
Is it? There is nothing left to do now. No, that
might not be. She might be in this. What's he
going to say? Oh, is that Victor Frankenstein's
monster? You wanna play? This looks fucking sick.
Yeah. I swear that said Maggie Gyllenhaal. Fuck.
Jake Gyllenhaal. I saw Jake Gyllenhaal in there,
yeah. And I seen it was produced by Maggie Gyllenhaal,
wasn't it? Or directed by? That looked so good,
bro. Holy shit. So it kind of looked like Frankenstein
meets. The Bride. No, no, no. Frankenstein's
bride. Yeah, meets. Like a 40s mobster movie?
Bonnie and Clyde. Yeah. Yeah. It looked a lot
like that. Dude, that looks so good. I don't
know. Jessie Buckley is. The bride. The bride.
Written, directed, and produced by Maggie Gyllenhaal.
Holy shit. Okay. So her name was attached to
it. It was. Yeah. Dude, that looks so good. Yeah,
it looked different. Didn't it? What? Dude, the
colour palette was so gorgeous. Contrast and
shit, sensational. Welcome to Derry. Was that
racism straight away then? Hello? Stephen King?
Hello? Oh, hi. I'm Roach, by the way. Whoa. renting
a house in town. Eight years living on base,
I just think my missus is ready for a little
taste of normal. Well, if normal is what you're
after, you two are going to love Derry. You don't
like it much down here, do you, Mrs. Hamlin?
You know, it's hard not to miss the things you
leave behind. We're getting into the swing of
it, though. Starting to feel like home. Okay.
Yes! 25 disappearances. 7 confirmed deaths. Mostly
children. Something bad's coming. He's an alien.
Yeah, I know that. They're going right back.
That's sick. Dude, the last two months of this
year are going to be busy. Going into watching
this? Yeah. Everyone dies. Nobody survives. Everyone's
dead. What do you mean? Well, it gets wrapped
up in the next two generations in the movies.
You know it is alive in the future. Yeah, but
the kids don't always die that are fighting him.
Well, why weren't they around the next generation?
Because if you read the book, and it's not really
spoken about in the new movie, their memory,
because they're in Derry, it's kerfuffled about.
Because that's when old mate's ringing them all
up saying, he's dead. And they're like, oh, shit,
I forgot. I forgot. Yeah. Everyone moved away.
And everybody forgot. Brain scrambled. Yeah.
When you leave Derry. Is that it? But dude, that
looks so good. Holy shit, that looks so good,
dude. And we've got one last one. Oh yeah, everyone's
going to paint themselves red. And they get sad.
Look at that. did not come. Disgruntled? Just
a little. This world goes much deeper than you
imagine. Come on! Protect your sister. Yes, sir.
Stay undercover. What does that always say? Sully
stick together. No, the other one. Sully never
quits. That's right. Sully's never quit. How
do you still live? What if every human being
on Earth could live here without a mask? Then
the Na 'vi people They've shown an awful lot
in this trailer, dude. We must fight! I call
upon the warrior mother! I've never had a connection
with the movies. Oh, dude, I have. They look
fantastic. I watch them for the spectacle, but
I'm not invested in the story whatsoever. It's
not the story that's pulled me in. It's the lifestyle.
It's their lifestyle, dude. Not having to give
a shit about bills, living in the forest, just
flying around whenever they want, you know, doing
what they want. There's no. And then as per usual
with everything else in the world, the white
man come. Yeah. Yeah. It's basically exactly
how the Native Americans had it or basically
anywhere in the world had it and then the white
man came. But, dude, look, I love it. I think
it's beautiful. I think they're gorgeous. Even
though the second movie wasn't that good, I still
watch it. And I still look there and go, dude,
maybe we could just build a building over the
top of water and live in it and nothing happened.
Yeah. God dang. But, yeah, I will be in the opening
night for that. That's just right up my fucking
alley. I love it. It's beautiful, gorgeous. That's
all the trailers. That's all the news. Yes, sir.
Thank you guys for joining us. As per usual,
guys, like, comment, subscribe, interact. We'll
fight back, I promise. Love, peace, chicken grease.
