Galactus Cast for Fantastic Four, Superman’s Suit Revealed, Darth Jar Jar’s Confirmed, and more!

[0:18] Hello, everyone, and welcome to Superhero Slate, the show where we run down the latest superhero entertainment news. We love TV, movies, superheroes, and our moms. So let's talk it all out. My name is Chris. My name is Mike. And this week we've got Galactus Castro. Fantastic Four. Mike. Adam. Believe it or not, you probably won't know who the guy is like me. Believe it or not, Galactus isn't at home. No, wait. That's that's the that's the, There was no superhero show that Costanza did for Seinfeld first thing. But anyway. Well, we're going to talk about this in a couple more, actually. And more than Galactus added to this. Superman suit is has been revealed by James Gunn.

[1:02] Mike to, ill, reception or good reception, I don't know, we're going to talk about that, later in the show. Darth Jar Jar has been confirmed for Star Wars a more. I know this is funny because I wasn't going to put this in here, but, when a teaser includes Darth Jar Jar Mike, I have to I have to lean into that a little bit because it's just so. Yeah, you need. You really need that. So with Darth Jar Jar, that's really going to drive clicks. Yeah I mean here all I'm going to do it Darth Jar Jar Binks. And I'm going to actually type out his full name. He's going to get the. There you go.

[1:38] I could use hey, I can't. Do this time. Okay. and more and more we got, we got we got a good episode for everyone today. And as you mentioned, it's Mother's Day. So happy Mother's Day to all you mothers listening out there to the show. Yeah, mothers. Or soon to be, I had a, a panicked moment of I was like, well, my wife is, I guess in the technical sense of the term, a mother as we enter our third trimester. And I was like, oh, we need to make sure we celebrate on Sunday, but not as much as we would next year when the baby's here. so I, I'm in a new dynamic, Chris. That's what I'm trying to say. I'm trying to navigate this.

[2:25] Yeah, I I've only had two. I've only had to deal with, one mother in my whole life. And now there's another one living with me. So you know what they say. You got to be flexible as you get older. You got to prepare for life throws at you. Yeah. And, now I have to figure this out. I I'm just worried about the your cost of, card expenses over time going up. Right? Like, you know, all these holidays, coming up, you got there, you know, you're going to have Mother's Day card. You have, you know, extra birthday cards for your kid and all this other weird stuff. Graduations, you know, telling my wife, I'm looking forward to the day when our child gains, like, a bit of sentience

[3:04] And starts to kind of understand what, me and my wife like. So, like when we have special holidays that come up, like birthdays or Father's Day or Mother's Day. Yeah, yeah. And our kid wants to get us something. I just can't wait to see what they attribute to us. You know, like, oh, my, like, Father's Day is going to open up and I'm going to be I'm going to be like unwrapping like a 12 pack of like, Diet Mountain Dew because like, oh, dad likes this. I'm going to get him this. So custom label Diet Mountain Dew for not. Only. Do they do they. Yeah. They do it with M&Ms. Right. When they do that with cans of Mountain.

[3:40] Doctor Pepper and Texas, at their main fact, they let you make your own flavor of doctor Pepper using other ingredients. I mean, you get to, like, create a label for your bottle. Yeah. I would fly out of my way to try that. Yeah, I I'm excited. I, one of my wife's, friends lives in Texas, and I'm like, how far away from where you live is this? Texas is a small state, right? We can get anywhere in about 30 minutes. And they just look to me. I'm like, I'm joking. I know Texas is a big city. It can be literally any part of Texas. But, they tell you. That went the great for the great part about having,

[4:13] Visitors come into town, even if it's like a weird, specific request. I always love it when people come and visit. And there's a specific thing that they want to do, because then you don't have to figure out, you know, you know, how to fill the time. So, like, if I was in Texas and somebody showed up, like, all I want to do is go to the doctor pepper bottling plant, I'll be like, you got it? We're doing it. Yeah. I feel like that's a very directed statement at me, Mike, right now, because, it. Wasn't supposed to be. But this month we're going to be taking a weekend off because I'll be visiting Mike. But it's still it's still kind of works out in about a month.

[4:45] Chris is coming out. We're going to go to, Grand old Disneyland Resort, California Adventure as well. Chris will be able to, to walk in Avengers Campus because you have or haven't been to Avengers Campus in Florida. Yeah, I don't remember. There's no Avengers Campus in Florida. They don't have the rights to Marvel in Florida. I thought they were kind of building something. Oh, I'm thinking of Guardians. cosmic rewind. That's. Yeah, we did. We did cosmic rewind. Absolutely. But that's part of Epcot. but they've not done anything else. Marvel. Oh, I sorry, I, I was getting confused. I think Paris has Avengers Campus right now. I can't keep all these parks straight. There's so many. Well, and there's one of the Disney cruise liners.

[5:28] Is even a marvel Disney cruise liner, right. So, like, oh, yeah. Like, you. Can go anywhere. Like half of those boats have, like, a Ant-Man dining experience, which is just really funny to me. Oh, you know, I'm excited. Yeah. Like to try the Marvel stuff you mentioned Ant-Man dining. Like, I want to do a Hank Pym cafeteria. What it's called right out there. Yeah. His, test kitchen. There's, like, a giant pretzel there. I believe there's, like, maybe a giant candy bar. I can only remember the giant things. I'm like, is there anything? There's got to be some small stuff there, right? Maybe they got, like, mini tacos or something, I don't know. But, yeah. People, I assume they'll make it larger because, you know, you know, at Disney,

[6:05] The prices are not cheap. They're just not that cheap adventure, all around. So, like, if you just make it bigger, the dollar amount will seem worth it. If you make it small. People aren't going to really associate value with this. But I'm excited for for for the Marvel stuff. I do it. We do have some stuff we like to do in California. I'm always Mike. Everyone here on the show knows that we're both foodies. I've not had, you know, one of the burger place out there. Golly. I'm slipping. in and out. In and out. I want to say five guys don't make a stop. Five guys don't say that. We got out. Yeah, well, we got that In-N-Out.

[6:37] Do you guys have Whataburger out there or. No. No, that's that's kind of the one. Las Vegas seems to be the apex right now where you can get, like, literally every burger. I kind of mapped it out and I was like, if somebody I wanted to do like the ultimate, like burger test showdown, you just got to fly to Vegas and get like, like half a dozen PPAs and send them all off to all the burger restaurants and once, and then have them bring it back to you. Exactly. I think, Shake Shack I had out there, I've never had Shake Shack before. we've been in San Diego, so I'm excited for the food experiences. the chain's even, it doesn't have to be, you know.

[7:14] Oh, this is only unique to to California. I'm sure there's dozens of restaurants unique to California. But we were also talking for the show. I kind of want to build a lightsaber. I want to have. We have a lot a lot of ideas. So we're going to be ironing those out the next month. Now that, our flights have been purchased and, you get to hang out with Mike for a little bit, but despite it being in person, we will not be recording that, that we can because that's it's fun. I like doing this with you, Mike, but if we're together, we don't need to be recording a show because that's just that's just work at that point. So.

[7:41] Well, a little summer break in in June. but let's go ahead and shift some gears in what we've been doing. Mike, I want to tell you the story because you're interested, the game Marvel Rivals, which is essentially an Overwatch clone, with Marvel characters, dropped a closed alpha test this week. I feel so silly because you were bringing this up in the group chat over the last couple days, and my brain had just forgotten what it was. It wasn't until, like, maybe four hours ago did I connect the name with, like, the concept art that we looked at a couple weeks ago and I was like, oh, they're talking about that Marvel game. Oh, okay, I understand why I saw exclamation points the other day now.

[8:21] Yeah. So. Absolutely. Marvel rivals, it's a close alpha test. You a lot of people submitted it and they only gave out, you know, a couple thousand codes. Like, not a lot of codes to get into this because again, it's closed Alpha not not a beta. And, very limited characters. But the way you could get more codes is if you follow streamers on Twitch and you, they give you codes and essentially, you know, you know how Twitch streamers work, like you, you interact with them, you get entered in, they pull names. And, for the past couple nights, I've been seeing if way past my bedtime, watching, like for, like, Twitch streams live in my thing and was, like, bouncing back and forth between them,

[8:55] Trying to understand I'm watching the game. I want to watch the game play place. Understanding the code I'm watching, watching people have a lot of fun with these characters. And but 1:00 last night, I was like, all right, 1:00 to my last one. I've got three people pulling codes here. I failed on one. Went to the other. didn't get a thing. The third one, someone else got drawn. They weren't in the chat. He read you again. Boom. My name came up, mike. So out of everyone who had submitted in to win this in raffle, my name was pull for a close alpha test last night, and I was able to download it and play it today for a little bit

[9:26] And, well, if you're not familiar with I want to. Hear your impressions here. yeah. So I've only played three matches. I played, the limited roster of characters I've played is Rocket Raccoon and, my two characters so far. Rocket raccoon is a, support character. He has an ability where he can, I guess it's a combined ability. Team ability where he can hop on group shoulders and you can ride Groot in the battle in groups of ten character, so I can heal and shoot people with, my big machine gun. I can do damage the villain to the other team, or I can heal people. So I'm a healer, right? Very support based, having a lot of fun with him. Playing him.

[10:04] We won the first round. did not do so well the second round. And then I switched over to hella. Hella is just appear like she's throwing those, like, big spears that we saw in the movies and people. Right, right. and, you know, getting headshots. And she has a couple powerful. But she's really, agile and really kind of powerful. But I couldn't I couldn't quite get the, vibe of her, like, launching projectiles because, like, you know, a regular gun in the game is hitscan like, you point, you shoot, you hit them. Right? And this one, there's, like, a little bit of a lob on these, things. So I wasn't getting it yet, but I was having a lot of fun.

[10:35] There's two different modes. One is you. It's like a king of the hill is a point. You hold the point for as long as you can. whoever has, gets to 100% wins around. Pretty basic, right? The other one is there's a movable chariot from Asgard with, like, the the horses and chariot, and you have to stick your teammates on the chariot moves a chariot. The other team is stopping you from moving the chariot, so it swaps back and forth. Just like if this sounds like Overwatch, it's just like Overwatch. there are two maps. One is Asgard, and then one is a, a, Spider-Man 2099 kind of Tokyo, looking thing. That's cool. Spider-Man references in there. The environments are destructible, but then they also come back as like

[11:14] Part of like, the lore, like Asgard. You just saw this. But Loki has magic built in to repair his kingdom after so long. So, like, you know, things walls could come back after you destroy them. It's been pretty fun watching that. I really want to play Star-Lord next. He's a very quick, shooter. got his jet boots, can move around really fast and do that. I've seen a lot of people be, play Doctor Strange. He's got a big magic shield. And Magneto is another kind of tanky character. There's been a lot of really interesting gameplay mechanics and stuff in that. And one of the interesting characters, Mike, they have difficulties on how you can play them

[11:48] In the hardest difficulty character so far. Pfizer. It's the only five star character in this alpha test is Spider-Man. And, is because he moves so fast, you have to be able to, like, whip your character around and be, like, able to, like, web and beat people up and then zip away just as quick because he's not going to take a lot of damage. Right? He but he can deal some out. So, if you guys haven't noticed, watch this yet. Twitch, YouTube, whatever. go check it out cuz I'm having a lot of fun. But, you know, I really, hashtag blessed Mike to get into Marvel Rivals. Yeah, I will not for this. I will definitely not discount your fun.

[12:22] And I'm sure all of the effort that went into make this game. But I feel like with all like, kind of online competitive Marvel things as of recently, or I guess even DC things, if we are still talking about this game this time next year, I will be impressed. Like I will be like, wow, they really hit a surge. You know, they've they've grown and they've added more, and I'm not saying it's not a great game, but that I feel like that is the challenge of like having something that people still want to play next year. You know. The one thing with me is this game's out now. Again, it's a closed alpha test. It's not fully released.

[13:01] We don't know when it's going to release. So, that would I think that's going to be the big thing, if it's free to play and also hits consoles currently, the alpha test is on PC. This is going to come to consoles. I pretty sure it will. that will be huge. They're going to make their money on skins. Some of the skins in this alpha test, you get some points you unlock in the battle pass, which is free. You make back. It's going to be great. I really like the Overwatch. I played Overwatch for several years, before some other games came along. So I think the gameplay loop is there, and I think it would be interesting

[13:31] To see how quickly they can add characters to the roster. Right? We played the Marvel Avengers game, and the biggest thing about it took them forever to add characters to that, right? Like every time, like, oh, this is just another clone of a reskin of another character kind of thing. so I'm like, well, if they can add more characters to this, and I think, yeah, this will tap into the South Korean gaming market, because obviously that's where a lot of money is. And the company that makes this NetEase is out of South Korea. I think that it's going to have a bigger life cycle than we expected because there's a lot of mobile games I forget about,

[14:05] Like Marvel Future Fight, Marvel Contest of Champions, puzzle quests like those games on phones are just rocking and rolling, and I don't think there's people in America at this point. I really think it's like that, that the South Korean, possibly even Japanese markets playing those mobile games. So I think if you can tap into more than the Pulse of America. Absolutely. to do this, I really think that, you know, there's been a weak roster of characters, but I think, you know, if they can, if they can bring out more and more and more and make them different have and people are having fun with it, I think that's where it's going to kind of come together, as well.

[14:39] But I hope that I hope they announce, after this test is done, they take some feedback, they get the feedback, make some changes to another like of like a closed beta and then probably after that do a, you know, maybe an open beta, but like, really get us to a release date because my thing against Mike and you might agree, you can announce a trailer, right? Like the blade trailer we got a couple weeks ago for, like, when they're in Paris. But, like, that game's like coming out for three years. What do I have to go on? What hope do I have to go on? Yeah. And I and I, you know, and say we're going to talk about why they put the trailers out a little early.

[15:12] Is that. Yeah. I was going to say because I, I told, I told Chris, about this a couple weeks ago, I had a chance to chat with somebody who worked at, Warner Brothers games and, you know, was just asking him what he was working on, what he was rolling over onto. And he kind of told me one thing that I was surprised is the the reason we get some of these, like teaser trailers or announcements of games so early ahead in the lifecycle of like, oh, development is starting is apparently it's a really good recruitment tool out there in the world of games. you know, you announce these games and you try to steal talent,

[15:46] Or maybe there's people kind of floating out there in the world looking for their kind of next gig, and you're like, hey, you want to come work for Warner Brothers Studios? Like, hey, we're making a Wonder Woman game. Do you want to get in on this? So, I always thought that was kind of funny, too, just like, yeah, why are they teasing this so early? Like, I would go crazy. I mean, this I kind of already happens now, but, you know, a marvel movie gets announced so many years ahead of time, and she's like, when's this thing going to be out already? But at least with movies and, franchise, there's other films leading up to it, right?

[16:16] You know, it's just like Secret Wars might be like so many years away, but at least we have, like, you know, 5 or 6 more movies. Until then, it's just like, oh, we're announcing this video game and you'll hear nothing from us for years. but yeah, I think that's kind of interesting. And I think, I think this closed alpha test might be in the same vein, to be completely honest. Right. Like, hey, we've got this, this core down, we've got a small group here. We've we're maybe we're 40% done with this game. We need more help. We need to get this done. Maybe the Alpha test will also be like, hey, we're proving we're doing it. Maybe they're looking to hire some people internally as well. So,

[16:50] A lot more, angles on this stuff than we would normally think of it as regular and consumers. But Mike, what have you been up to this week? And I, I can talk Marvel rivals all day and I've only played literally like three hours of it this morning. So, but, I've watched more than that. But but what have you been up to? Well, one thing that you could do while you're playing video games, especially like, one online game, is listen to music and there's this, new band I've been listening to. And normally I wouldn't like plug music on this show, but there's, this group out there called The Wolves of Glendale, and they're this hilarious, comedy band,

[17:24] And they've recently put out an album, and I knew about them because they would do like, these, like, fun, like little songs or skits and put them up on TikTok. So I finally decided, oh, I should go find them on Spotify and actually listen to a full song of their, because I've only kind of like seen these, like, little gags that they've done on social. And this album, I believe it's just self-titled Wolves of Wolves of Glendale is it's just absolutely hilarious. Like, not only is like the musicality just like really, really good. Like it's solid music, like it's there's kind of like, there's different kind of like vibes for each song. Like they're not just like parading like styles, but, you know,

[18:06] They're also parodying stories in it as well. But there's like some great, like 80s influence at the beginning. There's like a song at the end of the album that sounds like exactly like a Daft Punk song. but it's not like, you know, Weird Al, who will parody things that already exist as they were just making up these songs off the top of their head, and they're just great. There's it's wonderful. There's the the first song on the album is called Vaping in Vegas, all about a like, kind of like a murderer. That's like escape from prison. And he's like, living in Vegas. And there's like another one where, like, you just you're your roommates, a ghost,

[18:39] And then you start dating and then, like, your mom's really confused why you're dating a ghost. So they go all over the spectrum. There's a there's, like a metal song where the only lyric in the entire song is just the word shrimp. So they're all over the place, but it's like, it's so addicting. Like, I don't know why, like, comedic songs like, just really earworm into my brain. it's very similar to, like, Bo Burnham's last album inside. so if you. Yeah, if you were a fan of, like, Bo Burnham's Inside, this is kind of a definitely wackier than that, for sure. But yeah, go check out Wolves of Glendale. It's I would say this is maybe more like Bo Burnham's first albums, right?

[19:17] When he was kind of like, yeah. Yeah. It's a show called World on Fire. And then he just screams themes, right? Like, like, yeah, I've seen these guys several times. They remind me, like, ever modern acts of awesome. Remember when they did, like the four chord song back? Like, you know, 15 years ago, like, these guys are very musically talented, right? You know, they got a drummer, keyboardist, guitarist, and, you can tell they're having fun and they do it with such seriousness. I think that sells it to me right when they were like, we believe that this is funny. And, you know, it's a nod to wink at downs, but like, it's not like, hey, like, you don't have to, like, nudge you with their elbows and say it's funny.

[19:53] Like it is just naturally funny. Yeah. Looks like they're on tour right now. They're going to be in Lollapalooza in August. Then they're going, over the pond into the United Kingdom and, Ireland. So if you're, listening on the other side of the globe, check them out. Yeah. They're great. They they were, unfortunately, this shows my age. we had a friend reach out to us, like, oh, do you want to go see these guys? live? And I looked, I was like, a Wednesday night starting at 930. I was like, I am sorry, that is too late for me on a Wednesday. but I'm jealous. I wish, I wish I would, I would be there. I'd be like, yeah, absolutely.

[20:34] Calling off Thursday right now. but no, I, I, I'm not a TikToker, but I do see them on reels much later like everybody else. Yeah. Go, go take your moms to go see the the Wolves of Glendale. They'll love it. Yeah. So send them a reel. Like, I saw this and thought of you. I did get my mom a card that said, you know, good moms. You know, the kids like the, blender. The mixer. Oh. Wait, are you Chris? I literally got my mom this same card. I was just about to say I forgot the one that I mailed my mom. but then you started describing it. I was like, no, I sent the same one.

[21:13] I wonder if it's the literal same card because, like, the the the I, the concept of the card, you know, is I would say it's something familiar. So I don't know if there's any other like versions of the card, but it was, it blew. I feel like the outside of my card. Was blew, my mind was red, and it was a, a double fold. So it kind of accordion a little bit. okay. Mine wasn't accordion. I think it was like it was a single kind of standard card, but it was the same thought. Yeah. and I think I custom wrote something in there about like. Oh, I wonder how much, you know, raw cookie dough you let me eat or something like that.

[21:47] Yeah. It on the inside. Same page. Got a good bounce. Turn them off first. That was the punch line. So, yeah, I feel, you know, we haven't done this show for ten years, Mike, without at least having a little bit of familiarity. So. And also, we should, let the listeners know that we're both simultaneously drinking Mountain Dew, Mountain Dew, Zero sugar, purple Thunder. It's delicious. my wife is not even a huge Mountain Dew person, but she kind of leans towards grape flavored things. And I don't think this is necessarily grape flavor because it says berry plum. But I mean, it's purple, you know, I mean, artificial is artificial. Yeah. These artificial fruit flavors, it's not like they're ever

[22:31] Accurate to what you're actually eating, but there's grape adjacent vibes to this. It's good. So yeah. So the the Purple Thunder has been out in circle K exclusive for a year, maybe two years now. they've opened it up to other stores and they released a zero version. So bonus for us if I could give a shout out to, our other, Instagram channel superhero snack I've been trying to post on their regularly because we are in just a summer of flavor. I do have to tell Mike I don't. I don't like the. I told him myself it hurt him. I could feel and hurt the my messages. The new Lay's, the Garden Fresca, did not care for as much as you do.

[23:05] Just it's a shame. Flavor at the end and like, I don't dunno how to explain it, but it's green. I mean, I guess you know, you can't make we're past that. We're past the invention of the potato chip now by so much that any new flavor is not going to please everybody. But I do feel like that salsa Fresca flavor is the closest chip I've had in a while. That feels like, add it to the rotation. Like, oh, this could be like a, this could be a solid flavor that stands the test of time and is with us forever because it's not doing anything too crazy, because I think the downside of some of these novelty chips is when you bite into them,

[23:44] You're just thinking of, oh, this is supposed to be something else. Like, oh, I'm, I'm supposed to be thinking I'm eating like barbecue chicken pizza, or like ribs or something like that. And like, I can't enjoy it because I don't feel like I'm eating a potato chip, but like that, you know, salsa is kind of a chip adjacent thing to begin with. You know. They they've Willy Wonka that I get it right, like, you know. Oh, this, you know, this is a Thanksgiving dinner chip. And you're like, no, not really. At the end of the day, too much going on here. Like the BLT ones I had recently, they were fine. They they're not really overly bacon.

[24:18] They're not really overly anything else. So you just kind of like a mid barbecue with the mid Cuban sandwich flavor when they have I've got like four bags of Doritos for flavor. Serious. My wife is going nuts that I've not opened them yet. I'm like, I can't so open all these chips, man. I got to go through my chips one at a time. but I've got like, you know, jumping jack cheese, Doritos, mystery, Flamin Hot Doritos and stuff like that. So we are in this in the summer flavors. do you like tart drinks, Mike? Like, a little bit of a tartness to it. Yeah. I mean, I'm down for it. Anything liquid? The Powerade. three.

[24:53] Powerade, is a blue with green and a pink one. And, they're sours, Powerade sours, and, they have a little bit of a tartness. they're not like, pucker your mouth sour, but they got a little bit to it. And I'd recommend those if you like to, to change up your, your sports, you know, sugary workout drinks at the end of the day. So I highly recommend those. But yeah. Anyway fun food without food. Next let's get into Legos. The other thing we love just as much as we make Legos and, Lego Star Wars has a new short coming out later this year called Rebuild the Galaxy. And, in this is kind of essentially a what if mixing like a,

[25:30] You know, there's a Tie fighter slash X-Wing if they were merged together kind of thing. And, you know, a bunch of kind of like when you have Legos in your imagination. And Mike, I know you're you're a person who would build your Legos and then take them apart, right. And put them, put. Them, yes. In their bags. But like this. If we were truly kids and we didn't care about this, this is people who would like, oh, I've got this Lego set, this Lego set. What can I merge together to make whatever I want? So this is sounds like the show. or. Sure, it looks like somebody just merged a bunch of Star Wars ideas together, and then at the end of it,

[26:00] We get the reveal of Darth Jar Jar Binks in Lego form. Yeah. I wonder this is like, this is like a two toned, trailer in a way of like, it feels very toy attic. Where am I going to be going down the Lego aisle this summer, and I'm going to see these mashed up Star Wars like vehicles for sale, which I'm not mad about. I think that's, like, super cool. and I would enjoy it. see, you know, kind of how that comes together, like on the front of the box. And then the other half of it is like kind of what Lego does second best outside of being a toy, which is like lampooning IP, which is crazy.

[26:35] That's not not something we ever thought it would be. it did an amazing job with, Lego Batman. I should have watched Lego Batman again. That movie is so good. Oh, yeah, and I always forget about it. And it's always left out of the conversation when, like, Batman movies are ranked. I totally forgot to say it at the top of the show. I just rewatched for the first time in probably literally decades. It might have been 20 years since I've seen this movie. Batman and Robin, the George Clooney live action. You were the you were the third person this week to tell me about Batman and Robin and I. Yeah, I don't know. I don't like these odds.

[27:09] I don't like I got I don't know if, like, Max is, like, juicing the, recommendation algorithm. I don't know how I ended up coming past it, but I was like, I'm going to give it a watch. And it's so wild watching it now as an A, not just as an adult, but, you know, with all of like the cultural context that we have around superhero movies and everything. I can't believe I never really recognized it when I was a kid, but Batman and Robin is just a live action cartoon. Everything about it is so cartoonish that that's probably why so many people like, turned away from it when it came out, because they were kind of used to like,

[27:47] You know, trying to adapt this comic book character, you know, you know, to the live action and kind of make it at least somewhat seem real. I mean, Nolan and, I guess Matt Reeves have made it seem the most realistic, but this was like, this is like a cartoon. Even the way that they talk, it just feels like, oh, this should have just this script should have just been animated and nobody would have blinked. And I would be like, oh, this is a fun, like, Batman story. Well, I think I think it alternate with Batman Forever. I think, you know, when you go from Batman and Batman Returns, like those dark Burton esque ones and then like, okay, Joel Schumacher,

[28:21] You're continuing this story, albeit with different, you know, Batman characters. but it's still set in the same universe. And then they go from, you know, Batman Forever, which I will always say, I love Carrey, Lee Jones like Jim Carrey, they were both, told, hey, do Two-Face if he was a Joker and do the Riddler if he was a Joker kind of thing. in that movie and, you know, and also what's what's Robin's name in this movie. Chris. oh, God. The actor or the the. Yeah. The actor. Yeah. The actor. The actor. Oh, God. It's like. Right. He's 30 years old. He's supposed to be a 17 year old orphan, but he looks 30 years old going. Oh, he supposed to be 17 and Batman.

[28:57] Yeah. No, in the first one, he's like skipping school or something like that, like in Batman Forever. Like. And I don't know how. That's kind of. That's weird because, they, they make Batman and Robin very horny in the movie that there's one thing that I forgot. The bat nipples and ivy. Yeah, well, yeah. Exactly. And, it's funny, I forgot how long the camera at the beginning lingers on them shooting up. There's at least almost 24 frames of just their asses at the beginning of the movie. And, they they are so horny. Through Alicia Silverstone. Yeah, it's a disaster. It's a disaster piece. But, you know, it did actually come back at the end of The Flash,

[29:37] If you remember, because it did bring back. oh, yeah, the Batman. But if I had to, if I had to summarize it, I love Batman and Robin. Now, way more than I did back in the day, because I can just I can look at it more as like a lark. And it's so much fun. I love how big everything is, like how silly it is. Like Mr. Freeze has all of these henchmen for some reason that follow him, and they're always cold and they always have ice skates. It's just so stupid. And then, Batman and Robin don't even know they're about to, start an altercation with Mr. Freeze, and they happen to have, like, ice skates in their boots.

[30:16] It's amazing. but all that being said, bringing it back to Lego Batman, then bringing it back down, to, Lego. I, I watched like the, the the the time travel one. I've only watched one of these Star Wars Lego special. And like the first one that was like, yeah, it tried to be too serious like that first one did. And this one literally looks like like you mentioned, is lampooning Star Wars, right? Like, oh, hey, what if the generations have lightsabers instead of like, what if the the e walks were the bounty hunters instead of little tree bears at the end of the day? So what if. We realize the Darth Jar jar? Yeah. Dark jar.

[30:54] And that is the funny thing, because, like, that makes me feel like, you know, whoever wrote this has been given some freedom to, like, all right, do whatever you want. with this. And they have the the cognizance to be on the internet be like, people want to see Darth Jar Jar. It'll never be legitimized. But we can put it in this and it will be fun because we had the opportunity to do so. And I love that about that. Someone be like, okay, they're going to do that. And it's funny because I watched The Phantom Menace about a week ago, a week and a half ago now, a week in three days. And my wife, we were getting married.

[31:26] So I was like, she's like, it was always Darth Jar Jar. And then this came out and like, wow, this is just between this and Batman and Robin hitting my mind this week. I don't know what's going on, man. Like I am, I'm just all over the place. But, yeah, Lego Lego shorts are fun. Lego games are fun. I'm glad they're doing this. And also, again, like I mentioned last week in fortnight, maybe two weeks ago. there's a whole Lego things in fortnight now, so you can go have some fun with that. watch the trailer link in the show notes. Moving on to Marvel, Mike, I shared this with you, yesterday. there is a, we always talk about rumors, and when we talk about rumors,

[31:59] We talk about these quote unquote scoopers. And these scoopers are always, you know, taken with a grain of salt. Right? Like we say, we do the best we can for reporting, but we always say, if it's not true, it's a rumor. if it's not officially from the word we, we try to say this is rumor as much as we can, but, finally, after sometime, Marvel, and the VP of Marvel, like legal, has issued a DMCA subpoena for the leaker account. Can we get some toast? Who was known for leaking a lot of or at least postulating a lot of rumors and stuff about the MCU? whether it be at that moment, things that change can change, whatever.

[32:35] But this is because I think in April, they shared that photo of Captain America's new suit reveal before it officially came out. And you might think, Mike, you know, looking at a suit that was nothing huge, right? Nothing was spoiled by looking at Captain America's outfit. Right. McDonald's has those toys in their store right now with his outfit on it. But yeah, the thing with that is with an image that is actually not owned by them, that open them up to a DMCA takedown, rather than just postulating rumors and speculation. Because when you own a when you post prerelease content that's owned by, a corporation that opens you up to lawsuits and that's where that came from.

[33:16] You know? Yeah, it makes me, it makes me wonder, how much of the they kind of have to risk, like, the Streisand effect here, right? You know, they're putting all of this, light now on this user that I didn't know existed. I didn't know about. Can we have some, can we get some toast? but now I do. So, is Marvel going to be able to kind of, like, clip their wings and remove them permanently from the internet now? I guess it depends on what can you actually get from the subpoena? Like, are they going to actually get any sort of identifiable information? If they do, can they do anything with it? You know, and also, I guess we have to consider the fact

[33:55] That if somebody is getting this information, is it somebody on the inside, I'm always impressed. Really? How much information? Kind of. We don't end up knowing about things because these huge Hollywood movies, gigantic collaborative effort, right? So many people involved, like we've gotten our own scoops in the past before from like, costume adjacent department of things. So it's like they can come from anywhere. And I'm always surprised how much, we don't know about a film before it comes out. But I do have to say I go out of my way not to read it. So maybe there is more out there than I can come across. I, Yeah, to me, this this person is familiar.

[34:40] I'm familiar with her account. I don't I don't follow their accounts. So, you know, I get I'm not doing this stuff. but, you know, some people, it used to be, were leakers, used to have a throwaway account. They post a rumor on throwaway account and leave. Right. but some scoopers have made it like a their personality on the internet. Like some people even have, paywalls and, like, subscription services. I think there's I forget the guy's name is Schneider or something like that, but like, he's like, oh, got these rumors. Like he's an insider, but someone's telling him and he puts it behind a paywall. But as long as he doesn't show anything, that's not his is also rumors.

[35:13] But as you mentioned, films are huge processes that take months, if not years with different departments who are isolated, who don't get to see the final thing at the end of the day. So like, where do leaks come from? How fresh are they? You know, are they even relevant these days? you know, when something comes out. But this person came again even sharing stuff today, Mike, like even after this DMCA was sent, you know, on Friday or Saturday, they're still posting things after court, so they probably don't see any, and I guess they may either be using a very nice VPN, maybe they're out of country and are subject to DMCA laws. or like, you know, subpoena laws and that Disney is looking for.

[35:51] But it looks like they're trying to make an example out of some of these, bigger Marvel leakers, if you will, at the end of the day. So, we will I'm, I'm gonna I'm gonna keep you posted. This one plays out because I'm interested to see how it goes, because we do get some of our rumors, from them as we, as we use that, sad news. This, this weekend, Roger Corman, a, very highly esteemed to be list movie director, passed away at age 98. And, a lot of people were like, I didn't even know he was still alive. he hasn't done anything lately, but, like, he was, you know, famous for making a lot of movies in, like, three days, and just doing, like,

[36:33] First shot go kind of thing, and and just cranking out these B-list movies. I know I had to watch this stuff when I was in bad films. he did the first Little Shop of Horrors before the, the musical, came on later. Jack Nicholson, he discovered Jack Nicholson there. I know a lot of. Let let me let me read off just a couple titles here to prime people. I just, did a quick, Roger Corman Google. we're looking at attack of the 50ft cheerleader. shark to push, Dino croc, Super Gator. this one's just called Raptor. Well, I would I would say you're probably reading this newer stuff. I would probably go back like pre 2000s like that.

[37:15] Yeah. He's 98 this year. Like I would go back before he was 70. I don't know how much directing he's been kind of lately. carne a saurus in the heat of passion Frankenstein unbound. They're all back in the day, but, man, a lot of people, you know, might not have, you know, high opinions of his work, but the fact that anyone in Hollywood can work an entire career up until, God, maybe 2017, I think is the last movie I see on this list. I mean, that's an accomplishment. I don't care what anyone says. Yeah, exactly. And we watched his movies A Bucket of Blood and Little Shop of Horrors. again, pretty Musical is based on this movie. and then he would just do the first take, and he's great.

[38:00] But I will say, related to the show, he was the producer on the 1994 Fantastic Four movie that was never released. He was, very involved with that, making sure it was like a low budget kind of thing, but obviously it was never released, sadly. But, you can find it. Now's the time. I'm sure he bequeathed some of his things to family. I mean, pull out that Betamax tape, whatever film reel, stock it's on, and get that on the internet. Archive for us. The, rumor is, for that movie, by the way, is that I think it was, maybe Abbey bought all the copies of the tapes that they had, like, you went over and burned them. so, like, the one that got out was like the one that seemed like they really.

[38:41] But like, he is also like, you know, there's a documentary that came out in 2015 called Doomed The Untold Story of Roger Corman's The Fantastic Four. which I just got a copy of on my, Plex server, like a couple months ago. So I'm going to get a I'm probably going to watch the movie and dive into that or vice versa, because, you know, obviously they are on a, it's on YouTube. You can watch it since it's never released it. So there's no copyright. So, sad to hear him go and just such an influential, you know, movie making. You may not realize it, but he, he was, for the time. But moving on into today's Fantastic Four from Marvel Studios,

[39:20] They have announced officially that actor Ralph Ineson. How you pronounce innocent, known for roles in Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, has been cast as Galactus. So you you may not know this character off the top of your head, but when you look at him like I've seen him in movies. Yeah, he's got it. He's got a familiar face. when I saw the headlines come out, this weekend, I saw a lot of people say, Harry Potter actor. And I was like, I don't remember this guy. And then I looked. He was just like, Miscellaneous death eater. I'm sure the character is probably more fleshed out in the books. and then he, I could kind of maybe look at him go, oh, maybe I did

[40:03] See him in something in Game of Thrones, but none of this is bad. We say on this show all of the time when they're casting these iconic roles like, yes, give me somebody that I'm not familiar with, you know, let me grow into that character and the role rather than just like, oh, let's just bring the star power. And, you know, now you have to work extra hard to kind of look past what their whole career that they've done. So I think this is cool. I mean, are we just to look at his, just face imposed under a giant helmet like this? Is that what we're expecting? Well, you know, is is Galactus going to have this, like, little beard he's got going on?

[40:45] It's I I don't think so. You know that as well as I do. I mean, they did what Josh Brolin when they did with Thanos. Like, you could see Josh Brolin in there a little bit, but it wasn't Josh Brolin, right? They they implemented some of his look in there. So however they decided to do Galactus I don't think we mind. He's also got a really, really good voice. I was I was saving this point for for those who may have played Diablo four recently, he plays a character called Laura Earth who is like your kind of narrator for the game. So he's got, like, his voice. So you may see his face, but but this guy's voice is just,

[41:17] Phenomenally deep and, like, you know, you're going to like, oh, this is this is like a guy who's who was hired for how he sounds, not necessarily his looks at the end of day. Not saying he doesn't look bad, but I'm just saying they hired him to. Whenever Galactus talks, you're going to remember when Galactus talks. So if you've, not played Diablo four, look at Blue Wrath and just listen to him because he nails it. Yeah, I mean, I've lost the thread of a lot of our, Fantastic Four rumors versus official announcement, so I kind of took this is like, oh, Galactus is actually going to be in this movie. That's great. I don't know if they'll be a huge character.

[41:57] I will. They're literally like you. Literally huge wink wink. Yeah, but we do know, maybe not factually, but extremely heavily imply that this version of the Fantastic Four exists within another universe. So this could always be a thing where maybe this Galactus does or doesn't stick around. Or, you know, maybe Galactus is the impetus that throws them into a different multiverse or maybe Galactus is about to win, you know, and act two and eat them. And then they get, you know, thrown into a different universe. I'm not entirely sure, but we Galactus confirmed just kind of what I take away. Yeah, yeah, we've got, again, obviously, Silver Surfer, it's confirmed, the Fantastic Four. And then we had, Paul Walter Hauser last week in a mouse role.

[42:43] And then also we're getting John. Actor John Malkovich in an undisclosed role. Is not sequels undisclosed? I'm thinking he's going to be like Doctor Storm. Like the father of Johnny and Sue storm, right? Because they always seem to have him in most of these movies. but when they announced John Malkovich, I'm like, oh, he'd be an interesting kind of Galactus. Like a more like, pensive version, right? Like one who's like, oh, I'm not really, I'm not just here to eat you and be angry, but, like, obviously not the cast. Somebody else is Galactus. So they're really kind of leaning into some of these, bigger names. You know? I know some people I was talking for from the show, about John Malkovich.

[43:20] He's like, well, he's not really been anything good lately. He's kind of gone off the rails. I'm like, yeah, but he is a character actor, right? Like, kind of like Ben. Kingsley is. And like, you know how he was in Iron Man three and trying to be like, John Malkovich would be an interesting character actor, and that's end of the day. So they're really I wouldn't say stacking the cast, but I love all these announcements. I love these confirmations. I know they're supposed to start filming around July. So, Mike, this this movie went from like 0 to 60. Really, really fast. Which which is crazy considering it was announced in 2019 at Comic-Con, which is wow, five, five years ago, we saw that first logo.

[44:00] And now finally cameras are starting to get turned on. Yeah, it's as far as I know, it's beating blade currently still so, we'll we'll see how this goes. But it's coming out in summer. 2025. Very, very exciting for Fantastic Four. We'll keep you guys posted. Anything else pops out of that, movie? I actually hadn't thought about, until I was actually playing Marvel Rivals because Black Panther is a character. A Black Panther three is a, you know, it's obviously I think it's in the cards at Marvel, right? Whenever, you know, we're going to talk about Bob Iger talking about reducing Marvel output. I think Black Panther is a viable franchise that they want to keep going on.

[44:35] Right. first movie made over $1 billion. Cultural phenomenon. We lost, Chadwick Boseman between the first two movies. Tragically, they were had the task of rewriting that movie re filming it for Black Panther two and also during Covid in a Bob Chapek era, it came out. It's not really a true superhero movie, but it's a really and as we discussed, like a cathartic movie about loss and like, you know, dealing with with picking up the pieces. So I think Black Panther three is still in the cards, Mike, at the end of the day. And yeah, it would yeah. Even the even though, like, I've kind of weathered, the sequel over the years, I brought it up before

[45:12] No one even really talks about the sequel anymore. It's really never in conversation with people are just talking about the MCU moving forward. I just don't think it made a lot of impact on people. I mean, yeah, it was heavy material, but I mean, you know, I sometimes I even forget Namor was in the movie. Like, that's just like how overshadowed everything is in that movie. Worlds. Outside of the film, you know? Yeah, it carries a lot of weight. But I will say it's also the only Marvel movie to get a, was a supporting actress nomination at the Oscars with, Angela Bassett. So, you know. Yeah, that's nothing to shrug that at like that. Like it does.

[45:47] It does have its merits. But as you mentioned, it's not like anything we have to worry about right now catching up on. Yeah, right. Yeah, I feel so. I always feel so weird, like kind of critiquing the movie, knowing that, like, it was kind of like in a lose lose situation. So I guess if I have to imagine a Black Panther three, like, I don't want to necessarily say back to basics, but like, like, black, the first Black Panther movie is like fun in a way of like, we're going on this adventure, you know, there's awesome, like action scenes. We like the it just everything is, like, popping off, like, Ryan, Michael B Jordan like showing up with, like, these iconic lines like, hi,

[46:27] Auntie and stuff like that. Like it great stuff going on in that first film. Well, and also it had the benefit of not it was an origin movie, but not an origin movie. Right. Like we talked about, you know, we weren't we didn't like Black Panther being introduced in Civil War and kind of was able to come in here and kind of set this world and show us a little bit. So we have some opportunities going forward with that. But I was going to say is that let's say the pilot, like Ryan Coogler, would be obviously the person director, right. To close out your trilogy kind of do. James Gunn. Right? I feels like if I can say

[46:56] Black Panther is one of those shows just not touched by Marvel Studios proper. Like no committee like Black Panther would be, that Ryan Coogler be that director, right? He kind of was able to shepherd this in I feel everything he's done, he did the way he wanted it to do, even with the make those adjustments. But there is rumor that he might hand the film off to someone else and maybe direct either Avengers five or Secret Wars. in the in the immediate future, if you will. do you think I know right now he's filming an actual vampire movie with Michael B Jordan? But do you see, I. I don't have anything basis on Ryan Coogler.

[47:32] He could. I think he could direct either one of those movies just fine. I don't have any issues with him or his. Yeah, I don't think. I don't think it would be a problem. I mean, it like I was just saying, like, if I kind of want, you know, the Black Panther Panther franchise, family character to be reinvigorated a new director is not a bad way to look at it, to, bring somebody else into the fold. And then Coogler gets a nice, promotion into, like, a huge, big franchise. That would be really sweet. So, yeah, no, no complaints here. I feel like this is also another big conversation. Two of like, Marvel's just like we gotta make these big Avengers movies.

[48:13] They're just lingering out there. We don't know exactly of King's going to be in them. Who's going to be directing them? We might have an idea of who we want to like, write them. So everything is still so nebulous with these two Avengers movies, you know, down the pike. I think they know. I just don't think we know yet. Right? Like we need to go ask the can we get some toast person like, hey, can you just tell us, let's do this? because I think they know, I think I think the writers have been confirmed to directors. You know, they're trying to pull in people who've done successful movie. It feels like they're trying to hire a successful movie.

[48:43] People who worked for four. Right? Like whether it's Sam Raimi who did Doctor Strange, Ryan Coogler in here, you know, they're there's opportunities, to, to bring that bring those successful directors into this. I still think they need to have dual directors, and I think they have dual writers that worked out great for the last Avengers movies and all the other movies we we loved in phase one, two, and three. Now, the other possibility this came out first, actually, before this was that Ryan Coogler might be denied to possibly and said, do this and do the X-Men movie, like after this, like he could direct the first X-Men movie, due to his kind of success again with the Black Panther franchise.

[49:20] And he could I. Mean, these folks, like the the pathos there, I think really fits. I mean, we were talking about it a week ago, where, you know, X-Men was always an allegory, you know, for racism in America. And I feel like, you know, Coogler could attack that better than some other directors out there. you know, there's there's talk about just like the separation of just, Wakanda and the rest of the world. You know, they talked about that, and his. Yeah. Well, the idea of a, you know, I suppose isolationist nations, the idea of, you know, obviously, a mutiny. Charles Barkley would kind of be like giant OSHA, right? If anyone's been watching X-Men 97, they've revisited the island of Jean OSHA,

[50:05] Which has been popular in the comic books for years. So, like, if they needed to do a giant OSHA movie, guess what? You've got someone who has experience in this stuff, and I think he can handle, you know, a team movie, fairly well. He knows how to handle different abilities. I will, I would love to, to see that. I think he's a great director. I think he has vision and he's able to execute that. So if, they want to give him anything, I'd be. I'd be definitely be behind it, right. I think I think give him give him what he, he wants to work on and, and let them stretch his wings a little bit.

[50:36] Be great. one of the spinoffs out of Black Panther two, actually, I don't even remember. This was Riri Williams. Michael has her own show that has been filmed and is sitting somewhere waiting to be shown. Eventually. but she is supposed to show up in the Armor Wars Now movie. But the rumors, the leakers, the Scoopers who were not as good on the, I'm shaking my hand like you can see it. Like, okay, if he if he on and success have said the Armor Wars is possibly been scrapped. I don't think that's likely. due to again, we've heard til we're blue in the face the past six months or more about Bob Iger saying they're going to reduce the Marvel output

[51:13] On TV and movies, and they're going to focus on what works as a franchise, characters people know. Armor Wars has a huge opportunity to bring back War Machine. Don Cheadle, who got them nominated for what was in an Emmy for his 10s. And I'll give him your soldier. but like, you know, not just that, but, like, you know, be able to kind of bring some of that Tony Stark stuff that that Spiderman probably won't have back into the MCU that people are comfortable with. and then with this, you know, Marvel Bob Iger saying they're reducing movie MCU output numbers to two TV shows a year and 2 or 3 movies a year. Asterix after this year, not this year.

[51:57] But like, if they're going to be doing this, few movies that are currently in Armor Wars may just be delayed rather than completely wiped out. Right? Like, I feel like the the plot point is that there's just not like, oh, we don't need to rush this out anytime soon. Yeah, maybe. I mean, two things. I always forget when we're talking about these Marvel movies because we're always thinking so, like, big brain, blue sky, you know, universe connecting thoughts. But if you look at it just based on the arc of the character of, Frodo in these movies, the last time we saw him canonically within the MCU, he was body snatched by aliens like that is in.

[52:36] The show that they will probably just hand wave away later on. Yeah, and that is that. That's just such a dramatic turn of events for a character. How do you not make an entire how would the entire entirety of Armor Wars just not be about how he was, like, captured in like an alien basement? For who knows, number of years like his reputation should be tarnished, I'm sure. Like he's done tons of things to close friends and family that he has to, like, call for. So I. Not remember. That movie does not sound like something that gets made. So like I almost think like, oh yeah, maybe they just scrap the movie entirely. And just the next time we see War Machine,

[53:16] He's just on the big battlefield of Secret Wars, and then he just has like a one off quip about, oh, where have you been recently? Oh, you seem different. Like, oh, I, I wasn't myself the last couple of years. Yeah. See, I, I hate that because that's what they did to him. Really. And, in endgame. Right. He like, he just kind of showed up in the battle in this brand new suit. I think as a character, and dealing with the legacy of Tony Stark's suits, you know, having Riri Williams build her own in this together is where it's going to be, I don't think I think Secret Invasion will never be in that, touched on again, Lee, if anything that like, like,

[53:50] Like we mentioned last week, was it, like Nick Fury just went from Secret Invasion right into the Marvel's to. And that will never even touch that. He has a wife. I think Rhodes like, yeah, like, hey, you know, you know, they might have a one way about like, hey, I'm. I don't remember that. Or, you know, it was only like a week. You know, maybe it wasn't forever. Like, I don't know, but, like, I feel they need to really focus, like, give us a called Armor Wars. It's not, it's not, it's not iron. it's not, roads are War Machine, the movie they need to focus on where Tony Stark's suits gone now that he is essentially dead at the end of the day.

[54:26] Also, make armored suits cool again. Like, I know it was very convenient for Tony to have, like, these, the nano particles that could form kind of whatever he wanted. And there was a cool moment, you know, when he's fighting Thanos son, was it Proxima? Nova. Was that his planet? I don't remember the name of his planet. Oh, that was Titan. Infinity. Titan? Yeah, that. Sorry, Titan. I was like, where that name come from? The the, the, the the bots are, like, swarming from Lem the Lem because they were dwindling and, you know, just down to his hand or whatever. Like, that was cool, but, like, you, you really kind of remove the character from the idea of, like,

[55:04] They need this suit to make them, like, special and strong and, like, just basic things of, like, I had to be near the suit. The suit needs to have energy. There's moving parts, there's mechanic stuff. Going here is something breaks. I have to fix it, you know, and I that was one of the cooler things about Black Panther two is when we get to see, a Riri Williams like, kind of building her own and putting her own spin on it. So if they're going to do Armor Wars, like, make the suits cool again and like, I just got to be the focus on that Secret Wars story. Yeah, I think I think you say I think a secret invasion.

[55:39] I think you just ignore Secret Invasion. but like, the one character I think I've loved and kind of kind of got shafted in Iron Man two, right? Because his early MCU is Justin Hammer, right? Bring Justin Hammer back after the blip. He's now a government contractor again. Yeah, Tony Stark's out. He's dead. Hammer's picked up. He's got some extra suits that they're making Tony like. It's got to be a thing with that. But you know, I hope it's not. But at the end of the day, if they're going to reduce quantity and go to quality, it may very well be on the chopping block because this movie was a TV show. Now movie has gone through so many iterations.

[56:15] At the end of the day, one of the shows that we talked about the animated shows coming up is Eyes of Wakanda. We I don't think we've seen any animation. I think we've just seen maybe, although I heard about it, but it's, did Disney send out, hey, here, the show is coming out this year. Isaac Wakanda is, one of those shows coming out this year, so that's great. We gotta again, kind of touch on the history of the Wakandan. was it the watchers or whatever they call themselves? The the one they sent out to the world and are disguised as regular people for years. So they're going to do that? other shows include, your friendly

[56:47] Neighborhood Spider-Man, previously known as, Spiderman, freshman year hit Monkey season two, is the only one with a date in July, and the live action Agatha series are coming out this year. And I forgot Hit Monkey even got got renewed for season two. Like, I was like, oh man, I. Forgot about it. I need to get some, hat seasoning from Trader Joe's, because if Hit Monkey gets a third season, I'll eat my hat. I will be, shocked if that continues on. The only thing, the only conceivable way hit like, yeah, it's a third season. If for some reason, like, it just fits every kind of like, financial, like benchmark in a way of just like, well, we got the team

[57:27] Ready to go, like we have like this earmarked like animation budget that's like technically not touching some of these other things. You know, we'll kind of slot it underneath like, our Hulu kind of full acquisition. And then I think we could kind of technically get a third. Yeah, out of it. And I think we talked about like the only reason it has a second season is because I think they recorded all the audio and they had a contract to do X number of episodes, and they bought Hulu and they just made them do it. I don't think there's any hope for this, despite the fact that Jason Sudeikis, as the main character and hit monkey and it just been wild, I

[58:02] Boy, I tell you, if I remember this movie, this TV show, come August, I'll be surprised at the end of the day. But, possibly, I excited to finally see, you know, that that, Spider-Man alternate universe show getting put out right where he's working with, Norman Osborn with all the suits. I have a kind of huge question. Now, I did see there's no word on Marvel Zombies or What If season three yet. So I know we had a preview of one of season three. Do you think they might save that one for like, a surprise announcement the end of the year? Like they want a season two? Like, hey, here's your holiday again with What If season three, and Marvel Zombies.

[58:36] You know, I know that's probably coming as a spinoff of What If season three, but, it said that we've got to wait probably another year. Yeah. Those seem like properties that would be really useful for filling, kind of like release gaps. You know, they have to do so much pivoting with the schedule of the live action MCU. That seems to be like the number one thing that they're doing with Star Wars content of just like, oh, May the 4th is coming up and we don't have anything live action ready. Well, luckily we got these animated shows ready to go. You know, we have these kind of like pocketed and done and dropped. So I, I would imagine that's kind of these animated properties

[59:13] Are kind of like held a little bit longer because they, they're, they have a longer shelf life and they can kind of drop them when they need them. Yeah. And I wouldn't be surprised after the, improved, a feedback on one of season two of what one of season four was even being in the works. So. Right, like, hey, we're going to, we're going to just kind of chug along that pipeline. But I forgot to put it in here. And I said, let's see the what if there's a announcement? They announce an Apple Vision Pro experience for Marvel's What if, only on Apple Pro coming later this year. And I said this is the most expensive thing I've ever heard announced in my life.

[59:50] Yeah. You what did you you claim it was like the fourth? That was the $3,000 episode or so. It's a $4,000 episode because it's $3,500 base, plus everything else. You have to get to run an Apple Vision Pro, and you're just experiencing an episode. like, I'm I'm sure it's cool. I'd love to experience it, but, I mean, what are the odds? somebody jailbreaks it, and, like, there's some sort of, like, APK that gets, uploaded to the internet, and then I can, like, run it on, like, my janky meta quest two, you know? Well, yeah. Well, the thing is, I again, it's not it's probably more than just an episode. I don't want to sell it short. Like, it's not just sit and watch an episode in 3D as probably so expensive,

[1:00:32] But the fact that, you know, again, I know Disney has partnered with Apple before to to get the Disney Plus app on here, but like this is a very niche product, like super niche like, people I know, people who have it and people haven't used them like longer than their quest that they have. Like there's just nothing out there for it. And I'm like, why would you put, you know, Marvel like you want them to be? Marvel's not selling your headset. I'll tell you that right now. This is the opposite direction because you like, what if you're not buying the Apple Vision Pro headset, you're going to probably go watch someone who recorded it on YouTube and watch them do it right and do that.

[1:01:06] The only interesting thing is it's a new episode where Captain Marvel is no. One, but I'm like, that's still not enough to sell me on even trying this somewhere. Yeah, I'm. I wonder when kind of this was kicked off because we always talk about how, you know, animation, you know, takes longer than anything else. So I wouldn't be surprised if this was, you know, already in the works before the Vision Pro even launched, you know, when they were making those original deals. So, I, I would say in a sense of they're a little lucky because it seems to be the only like the abolition pro only has like two killer apps. If you could even if killer is, I would say it stretches people

[1:01:44] Like watching TV on them and also using web web browsers, which is funny. So I mean, this leans into. The little things you can do in that quest. Oh my god. Yeah, exactly. But so that just means this is definitely tied to Apple for sure. But I wouldn't be surprised if maybe in a year or two there's yeah, there's something that expires and then we can watch it on that. That happened with the Iron Man VR game. Remember that we experience that San Diego Comic-Con. They released it only on PlayStation. And then like, I think was like two, maybe three years later, like, okay, we put it on quest simply because the user base is there, right?

[1:02:20] Like, you know, we're we're not a tech show by any means. But for those who don't know, the quest OS has opened up to other headset makers. Meta is not the only person who can make VR headsets with quest OS that opens the user base even more, the Apple has said. If you're in the Apple ecosystem, you have to have the Apple Vision Pro. There's no Apple Vision Pro to announce and no Apple Vision consumer model, coming anytime soon. So if we finally get to watch this Mike, it might be five years if we get good experience or something. Or maybe, you know, this would be the opportunity where I'd book an appointment at the Apple Store to demo this.

[1:02:51] I'm like, just preload this what if app for me. That's all I want to do on there. Nothing else. Yeah, exactly. Kind of thing. but yeah, it's just wild that this I get it. They're experiences that we're just not going to have. But in a world where like. But it's all connected, this is very, very disconnected from everybody else. Moving on Avengers Endgame and I say this is Avengers Endgame. This is actually probably tighter. But like there are re rumors of Chris Evans lead Captain America series to return the Infinity Stones. Mike. And the only reason that this has come back up is that, Bob Iger said that they're looking to make event television again.

[1:03:30] And this would be to me, I think one of the most must watch shows on Disney Plus. If they did, it's this series. It it's so weird because I am so down the middle on this either being an awful idea or a great idea. Like it's a great idea, obviously, because you're putting Captain America back on people's screens. People love Chris Evans is Captain America. this was one of the ideas that was floated on very early before Disney+ even launched, like, oh, this would be a great, like, launch title, right? But to me, like, I just feel like Cap and Tony were just set off into the sunset so perfectly and end game like, I understand the desire to go back to the characters.

[1:04:13] I get that us fans want to see them again, but I just feel like sometimes just, you know, you got to have the integrity to let it go. You know, let, let, let sleeping horses lie. But I'm not saying it couldn't be good. I mean, it makes sense. This seems like the perfect type of mini series to put together, and I, I just not like I wouldn't watch it out of protest or anything, but like, you better make it good. If this is bad, I will be so mad. Yeah, well, I don't think Chris Evans would come back for anything short of a good series, right? Like, he he he could write his own. What he he is what's going to make or break this.

[1:04:52] Like it's either going to happen if he says yes or it's not going to happen if he says no and you know he is, he doesn't need anything to be successful, right? He can do whatever he wants at this point. but like to me is again, in six stone six episodes. Be interesting to watch. it's it would just be a huge of it. I think everyone would watch it. And I think that's what they're looking for. They're looking for shows that everyone has to tune in. Right. Like, how many people did we tell you? You have to watch Secret Invasion right now? The last show that I remember there, literally, I didn't tell anyone. You don't have to watch this.

[1:05:23] Like, honestly, I'd avoid it like the plague if that was it. Loki I think Loki was a great show and I didn't tell people to watch it, but like, there are more misses than hits in the Marvel series realm, but I think this would be that now. It doesn't. Maybe. Maybe it isn't this. Maybe they come up with another big event, but like, you need to have stakes and you have to look at what people are asking for. And I would say, you know, we we as, as people who sit here and can be armchair quarterbacks for Marvel all day long, but like, do they have the, the, the, the tags, the search indication that says people are looking up

[1:05:57] Captain America returning the Infinity Stones. We need to make this show because the desire from not just us, but consumers as a whole is there. Right. So as long as they have a good reason to make it and as you mentioned, it's great I'm down if they're just doing it to do it like we I don't think we need to revisit a movie from five years ago either. Right. Like it's now been five years. I think we've missed the mark. That probably should have been the first show on Disney Plus. But, you know, we'll see if they they get to it. It's all rumors. Thankfully, it's all rumors. speaking of rumors, the last kind of rumor esque thing we have here, we have a photo of actress Krysten Ritter,

[1:06:36] With purple hair and people, like, why is this important? Well, there's a version of, Jessica Jones in the comic books. her called Jewel, her persona. We kind of saw arc her costume in season one a little bit as a purple. White. and then people are thinking that she's dying for her to come back as Jewel in the Daredevil Born Again series. Yeah. I mean, she's got the, purple man shirt on, right? That's the. I think she's got a shirt in this picture. Isn't that, David David Tennant, is that his name? The doctor? Yeah, it might be. It might be a Doctor Who shirt. Right. I can't I can't tell us backwards and upside down, but,

[1:07:12] But absolutely, like, you know, is she teasing or is she just, like, saying, hey, call me, I'll do it. Call me kind of thing? It would be. It would be fun. I mean, you'd lose credibility with your fans pretty quickly, but wouldn't it be crazy to just be an actor that's been in one of these movies and then just randomly like, post cryptic stuff of like, oh, I'm gonna post a picture of this, comic book and then have people speculating forever. Maybe it didn't mess with people. Well, it's funny because we did. We it was it. Finn Jones had the comic book, right? The Iron Man Power Fist comic book. She's got the purple hair.

[1:07:42] This is the second time we've actually seen her kind of come back with that. we know Charlie Cox is there filming. We've not seen the actor who played Luke Cage yet do anything suspicious on social media. So, we probably need to go check his stuff, see if it's for missing that, but, like, it'd be fun to have him in there. So a little reference in Daredevil Born Again. I don't need a whole show about the Old Defenders or the Netflix series, but it would be fun, right, to take them out and have them in there. So, I don't know. I'm excited. Daredevil Born Again. I think they've said they might have finished primary filming in the first nine

[1:08:14] Episodes of, this might be the only nine who knows at this point. So we'll we'll keep you guys posted. And I'm sorry to keep everyone waiting too long. We're an hour and eight minutes in the show. We haven't even talked about the new look at David Corn swear as Superman from James Gunn. Mike in this image is so special because it's filmed entirely in camera. None of this was ad edited after the fact, so, boy, there has been the internet rounds and the good and bad of this photo. Mike. this week, so much that I actually forgot about this a little bit. but but it's been it's been up in there and the discussion will go on.

[1:08:53] I yeah. I mean, for me, it looks the hit, the costume looks great. This guy looks exactly like, an incarnation of Superman. Almost. So, like, if you if you look at it just briefly, it almost kind of looks like, like, Henry Cavill a little bit as well. So you almost kind of have to, like, reground yourself and be like, oh, this is a new image. So I don't know if this is a telling that the character design of Superman is so great and he's such an everyman that you can slot almost any kind of, like, white dude in there, and it looks like Superman. You got got your dark hair with a little girl. The front and a very, very chiseled jaw, I mean. Right.

[1:09:35] Yeah. Or does, David corn's wet? Is that how we're saying his name? Corn? Yeah, yeah. Or does he just like, look so much like a Superman already? I mean, it looks great. You know, he's suiting up if I have to, like, really speculate about this one singular image, it would be kind of cool to see Superman Clark Kent's apartment. You know, we never really see Superman from the angle that we get to see something like a Peter Parker, right? Where we actually get to see them, like living their day to day life. And how do they balance being Superman with, you know, also trying to have a personal life working at a newspaper. So maybe this is kind of hinting more at that.

[1:10:17] And then on the other side. Well, I was gonna say the other thing to me is that this is the first, like, he's not rushing to get ready because there are other superheroes out in this world already, right? Like every Superman we've seen is him having to solve all the world's problems. Pretty much. and it is a situation because he is. He's getting dressed slowly. It almost looks like the camera pans over, is like Lois Lane in bed, and he's just like, I gotta go. I gotta work in the morning. Yeah, I kind of get the those vibes of his ending. A late night rendezvous. He's not. Your phone booth don't exist anymore. He he's he's putting his clothes back on.

[1:10:57] He's got a little bit of battle damage here. Obviously. He. So his suit's not repairing in between fights, but like, there's a green blast back there. Is that the Green Lantern that we know is going to be in here? Played by Nathan Fillion. You know who is creating that big orb and the purple stuff around it? Like he is not in a hurry because guess what? He's not the only person in this world fighting bad guys in Metropolis. So that's really cool to me that he's like, oh my God, I gotta solve everything. And everyone's like, why isn't he here? And I'm like, well, because obviously other people are there, right? Like, you know, they're carrying the assignment.

[1:11:29] He's going to show up at the 11th hour and claim credit for for beating everybody. I mean, what was. Your other take on seeing. This out of context, though? I didn't know. It was like, you know, camera trick and it was all in camera or whatever. And you know, we're I don't think we're supposed to perceive this as a scene from the movie necessarily. It's just like a promo hype image. but I looked in the background and I was like, oh, is this just like a bad Photoshop? Like, is this just like, oh, put it throw an energy being back there and we'll see, what it looks like. So I, you know, obviously I was drawing too much from it before I knew,

[1:12:04] What it was, but it begs the question if it's all in camera, is this, like, a traditional, like, LED screen in the background? Is this a volume that they're working in? You know, is it is it a matte painting? I mean, who knows? I mean, gun is at the point in his career where if he wanted matte paintings in his movies, he could get matte paintings. done. I texted you about matte paintings. He was like, what did I tell you about matte paintings earlier? I do not recall. It was a movie that we were like, oh man, they're actually doing something with real paintings again. Oh, skeleton crew, the Star Wars skeleton crew, they're actually brought back Phil Tippett, who worked on Jurassic Park.

[1:12:41] Star Wars move to do stop motion matte paintings, old fashioned matte paintings and an island painter out of retirement, too. So that's pretty cool. But, like, I don't think this is matte paintings and I don't think it's a volume. I don't want some. Everything's volume. I think it looks like it's LED walls supposed to be outside, because those are just huge windows for an apartment. I guess in Manhattan or not. Manhattan Metropolis. yeah, I, a lot of people have pointed out the, you know, for the design, the Superman's on screen, he's wearing the red trunks. You can see kind of in the shadows there. Everyone was like, is the cape real? The cape kind of looks really, really off red

[1:13:17] For being quote unquote in-camera, if you will. like, I don't know if you notice that about it or not, I don't care. And I mean, look at the Cape, but. Like, I feel like that leans to the fact that it is real, because if it was fake, you could color match it exactly to the rest of the costume. I look it as like, oh, the boots and the symbol on the suit, you know, are, you know, rubber or some sort of other material. And then somebody had to track down fabric that was close enough, or maybe they didn't want to match it. They wanted to go in a slightly different vibe. So yeah, I didn't. I didn't really question the cape.

[1:13:52] Yeah, I think it was more the texture than the color. But like overall, I would say this is an interesting first reveal from James Gunn. as we always say, costumes look better in motion. This. He's got some bunching up around his shoulders as he's leaning forward to put on his boots. not that it matters in in still shot, but the internet has been very I wouldn't say. Right. They've kind of been down on it, kind of like parodying this and like making memes out of it, but at the same time, like people are talking about it. So I mean, that's a plus, right? So, I see nothing inherently bad here, but boy, do I have questions about the world that are playing in.

[1:14:30] It's what I'm walking away with this. Like how what is in the background? What do they do doing? I love I love a good light beam towards the sky. Mike. You know, that's that's a staple of every good superhero movie, but, well, we'll keep you guys posted if we get any more stuff on that, last bit of, DC news here, Mike, is that, Batman the Caped Crusader, the animated show that was, not picked up by Warner Brothers, but by Amazon has given us our first official images, including Batman, Harley Quinn, Catwoman, and Clayface from the upcoming series. It reminded me that we talked about we had some sort of like, had the leaked images. Yeah.

[1:15:12] And we saw like, you know, Harley Quinn was the big one because it's like a departure. but it makes sense. I mean, you can't just. There's currently a running, you know, Harley Quinn animated TV show, so you can't just. Do, you know, something similar. So I like that it's a different turn. well, I mean, this. Is like. This looks great. This looks. I mean, it's very much like, if I look at it, the first thing I get is, animated series vibes, right? Like, you know, especially when we get to, Catwoman and kind of Clayface, like Clayface has, like, that dark, but he. Look, he's been kind of redone with his looks there. looks more villainous.

[1:15:49] Obviously Harley Quinn is more of a green and yellow, thing, and she's actually like, I think Batman's like. And she has no relation to the Joker in this show. Shows what they said. So I'm excited to see it in motion at the end of the day. But, you know, I see the the vibes, the homage from the animated series, but not being the animated series. I think the one thing I will always say, his ears are way too tall for me to not just stare at immediately on this Batman like, whoa, is he got to duck through every door. He's got to go through the to get those in there or what? So, I'm expecting.

[1:16:22] Fancy motion through doors. He just appears in rooms and spooky. He busted walls and ceilings because he just does that stuff. So, yeah, we'll check that. But we have all links, all those photos here in the show. Check them out. Let us know what you think as well. Lastly, Warner Brothers, David Zaslav is I, I don't like him. I don't like him. I'm sure, nobody else likes them either. but he has announced that there is, a Lord of the Rings The Hunt for Gollum movie, live action movie coming in 2026. And, they have confirmed that Andy Serkis will be, we'll play Gollum, and we'll also be the director of this movie. good for him, but it's a really weird, they're they're rebuilding or

[1:17:04] I guess they're adding on to their current Lord of the rings trilogy. Or I guess once the six movies by, tapping into a very offhand mention story of the hunt for Gollum that never was really talked about in the books, but just mentioned briefly in this. Is this a I mean, you might not know because we're not huge, you know, Lord of the rings, Lord, people, is this a sequel to return of the King, or is this like a pocket story? That kind of. It is a prequel to the first three movies. but a but it happens after, The Hobbit, but before Lord of the rings. It's in the middle of, because, well, so there is a line in this.

[1:17:47] Aragorn says, is talking to Jennifer. He you know, that that he heard about, you know, someone who had the ring, and Aragorn went hunting for him to look for him. And this is that movie, essentially is what they're taking, like, you know, how how did, you know, when Gollum left the cave to go find Bilbo? What does he know about where the ring went to at the end? Yeah. I mean, what do what do you do with Lord of the rings? I mean, obviously right now, the strategy is you make money with it. Why not? Why wouldn't you do it. Unless you're Amazon, spend money with it. Yeah. I mean, you have to do. All you have to do is make one more movie, right?

[1:18:23] To rerelease another, like, super expensive, like box set or, you know, to get people to, you know, buy them all again and like eight maybe this aligns with like another like, you know, video standard or something. but, yeah, it does beg the question of the, of the longevity. obviously at some point in our lifetime, Chris, we might be elderly, but, Lord of the rings gets rebooted, right? I mean, everyone will be like, why? Those original movies were perfect. Why make them again? And it's like, well, because of money, you know? And who knows, just stretch them out. Yeah, maybe they stretch them out to six movies and they put many series on streaming alongside of them.

[1:19:07] But as of right now, it's in this kind of odd spot of just like nobody really wants to touch the original trilogy, so we're just kind of making stuff before it or around it, or technically not the same. And, the rights holders are different. Like, you know, Amazon's like you mentioned, got the one for Prime, but there's a new one that's you know Warner Brothers and then Warner Brothers. And then I know. The film rights. But I think there's like was it Embracer Group or somebody else owns every literally everything else is weird. Yeah. And I like that same group I believe also owns like the theme park rights too. So like, obviously there's more Lord of the rings on the horizon,

[1:19:51] But you know who's going to do it right and justify the it's just it must be really difficult to be like a huge Lord of the rings fan, because you just don't know what's coming and what's going to happen. Yeah. And I think, well, the thing is, you know, there's there's two sides. This one is if you're fans of the originals, and not The Hobbit, you have those. They're not touching them. Thank God they're not touching them. Right? They're just leaving those things alone. They're actually putting them back in theaters this summer, in case you know that, to bring even more money in. So, that's cool that they're leaving those. And you can have those if you like. The hobbits.

[1:20:23] Great. You can have those too. But we're at a different interesting point where you mentioned, like we talked about the wardrobe here. the anime movie, like they're just throwing things at a wall to see what sticks. It feels like, because we have the world where he made me movie Amazon doing The Rings of Power. I enjoyed The Rings of Power. I'm not a huge Lord of the rings fan, so like, I kind of I can slide myself in there. to to that, the static. But like, you know, they're just taking too long to make it. I think it's been about two years since the last one came out, and we don't know when the next one is.

[1:20:50] And then again, they have, you know, this movie in that that is part of the live action stuff. It brings back Andy Serkis, Gollum himself, the, the guy who essentially revolutionized motion capture. Right. And playing those characters. Yeah. I think it's. Great, but like, like, do they do the awful move of giving us, like, a cameo of a slightly younger, like, do we get, like, a toddler Frodo or, you know, like. is it Aragorn focused. Even Gandalf? But is it even Aragorn? Like, like, you know, they can't bring back, obviously. I can't think of the actor's name, but, like, you know, do they recast and put him in there? Like, what is this for? And what does it do?

[1:21:30] I, I, the Lord of the rings has money for money potentially to do something. But like we are like not just famous, but everyone who's is like, where does this all fit and where does it all come together? At what point do you draw that line and say, it's going to be easier if we just start fresh and not have? Yeah, I mean, linger. On everything from the past 30 years because I if you watch The Hobbit Restore the Rings, Peter Jackson did both. But like the first ones are so practical and you can feel the love and the, the energy and then the hobbits, like we had to crank this out so fast. It's all CG and it doesn't look that good, right?

[1:22:06] I mean, I can't believe, I can't believe I didn't see it until just now when I'm thinking about it. The closest analog to the Lord of the rings. Because it's. Star Wars. Cinematically, yeah, it's Star Wars. Star Wars? Yeah, I was already thinking that. Yeah. With the original trilogy. And then you do these Hobbit prequels that everyone pretty much hates, right? And now is is the really the only direction to go is forward, right. You know, the original trilogy, we see our heroes kind of like Save the Day and save the Galaxy slash world, and then you kind of just have to reinvent a new threat, right? it didn't work for Star Wars for me.

[1:22:42] Overall, on average, I think you can you can easily kind of see, like, the little sight, like Gollum is like, basically like, like an and or a mandalorian, right? You know, and we're just, like, throwing in a little. I think the difference is Lord of the rings essentially has, for, for all intents purposes, a story Bible. Right? Like even a, the purveyor of, Tolkien's estate, they're like, they approve everything that kind of comes out of that. Right? So that is a little bit different. Star Wars, like even the we always say there's no direction in Star Wars. And I think Lord of the rings always has direction. Like, this is what exists here. But at the same time, at what point do you lose

[1:23:23] The regular audience and just only cater to the, talking fans? Right? Because again, you go read the Lord of the rings book. It's all so many names that I can't pronounce in my head, like, you know, or different creatures and races and languages. It's just it gets out of control. So I, I, I like Lord of the rings. I think they can do great things with that. But, I don't know, after the, the absolute disaster the Gollum video game was last year, like one of the worst games known to man, I, I'm not excited for a Gollum movie, despite the fact I do love Andy Serkis, and I know he does a great job with that and has a lot of care and passion for the,

[1:24:04] The world of Lord of the rings. He even read the books like, he did, the book on tape for the books. So I think there is hope here, but boy, do I when I see Gollum, I kind of just get like uninterested, to put it nicely. So, Yeah, but Lord of the rings, watch it if you want to. In theaters later this year, I would love I'd probably go back and watch the second one. Is that a good one? The second one, I pray you watch the second. Year I do. Get a chance, but we'll see.
