0:13

So extra for an audio.

0:17

So I'm. Starting to do it. Right there.

0:19

So so I do want to say real quick, Frank, ask me

0:22

what this prior flight was behind me. And this is actually the collector's

0:25

edition to, like a dragon pirate yakuza in Hawaii.

0:29

So it came with iPads for like. So going to edit out that that transition phase for that.

0:34

I'll edit that down, but I'll make sure the full video version

0:37

is available on our social media. If you guys want to watch them do this.

0:39

Very cool stage cracked that to reveal this pirate patch.

0:44

Man. Oh, great. That was so extra. That was.

0:47

That is definitely like dad joke. It's so much like some of these things.

0:52

The words are so funny because I feel like I've done one not too long ago.

0:54

That was kind of like that joke. So I feel like I gotta keep it up.

0:57

But yeah, you're nailing it. You used to have that, by the way.

1:00

You're also drink out of a Lego mug. I mean, it's just it's all put together.

1:05

Okay. Today we're gonna be talking about Shrek five. We're gonna be talking about Kathleen Kennedy leaving Star Wars.

1:09

We got all kinds of new DC stuff, and it's a major Marvel League.

1:12

Plus, we're going to be discussing Avowed Monster Hunter,

1:16

and we're going to have a very special Daredevil review.

1:19

Hot off the release, that and an interview with team

1:21

from anime plus, a brand new podcast coming to the Geek Freaks Network.

1:26

So excited about that. So much going on today.

1:28

So let's go ahead, get started.

1:34

We're gonna start off with that Shrek five teaser, the cast trailer.

1:36

Did you have a chance to check this out? Yes, yes, very much so.

1:40

We have Sunday joining this. But everybody on the internet's nuts

1:42

because the visuals look so much different.

1:45

I mean, there's so much is a big word for that.

1:47

What do you think about that? Look so for me, my, first, when I first saw this,

1:52

my thought was like, man, technology has come a long way, right?

1:55

From. Yeah. The. And that's all I took it as,

1:59

when we started seeing the hate of, like, how much has changed and, like.

2:02

Yeah, I see it here.

2:04

I think some people are going too far with, like,

2:06

comparing the whole sonic thing, like, okay, let's let's speak

2:09

so loud in the force that changed, like, no, not at all.

2:13

So I looked at it as more of like just the technology enhancement

2:16

and how long it's been since we've seen the movie.

2:18

I think if there was, like, a total difference.

2:20

Yeah, I do see like, donkey's like, for sure, like with those hair and whatnot.

2:26

It's a little, little. Not the same to me.

2:28

Fiona, I think it was one of the big changes, too.

2:31

She just. I think, see the worst change.

2:33

Yeah, like her expressions or whatever makes her look,

2:36

I don't, I don't know, I don't, I don't, I don't know, not cute frankly.

2:39

Yeah. And I'm like man before I'm like, what?

2:42

I did an ogre. You know? So yeah.

2:46

But, yeah, Shrek has some changes,

2:48

like in that, nostril area, like, forehead whatnot, but.

2:51

His eyes are, like, closer together. He just doesn't look like Shrek anymore.

2:54

Yeah, cousin. Yeah, yeah, it's.

2:57

I mean, it's been so long, so I kind of want to just give it to him.

3:01

Yeah. But a lot of people throw in a fit about this, but they don't like it.

3:04

Puss in boots. They put changed Puss in Boots design in Dreamworks.

3:07

His whole animation style has been different lately. So, yeah,

3:09

that illustration that last Puss in Boots movie was really cool animation, though.

3:14

Yeah, he's like being hunted down by the. Yeah, I actually really like that one. Yeah.

3:18

And they're not even doing that. Like they're, they're trying to stick to like kind of the original animation style in a way.

3:23

Yeah. In comparison to other Dreamworks stuff.

3:25

But like when you do a side by side, that's one of the things I took away

3:28

is like, man, the animation style is so much cleaner now.

3:31

It just works. Yeah, better.

3:33

I don't know how to explain it. Like maybe not even as detailed, but it's not like

3:36

the detail thing is just better version. Yeah, I'm a fan of it though, I think Shrek I'm happy to have Shrek back.

3:43

I think it's good for the next generation because, I mean, the last Shrek movie came out.

3:46

I don't think he had kids. No. Yeah, kids?

3:49

No. You know me. Yeah.

3:52

No, no, no, but they're definitely watching it. So.

3:54

Yeah. So they they all they definitely know about Shrek.

3:57

Took pictures with Universal Studios not too long ago, but, Yeah.

4:02

So it'd be cool to actually take them to movie theaters and experience

4:04

Shrek like we experienced Shrek for the first time.

4:07

Yeah, yeah. I want him to bring back Shark Tale. You remember watching Shark Tale?

4:10

You will see that with Will Smith. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, really, it's that's what we want to bring back.

4:15

I know, but you know what? I think I can expand on it. It was like a whole shark universe. Yeah. This universe, whatever.

4:20

It's like Finding Nemo, but they all, like, worked at a carwash.

4:23

Yeah. Of work. Our car washes are now like old business.

4:26

Oh, no. There we. Go. Yeah. What the hell? What are you doing there?

4:30

I think some of the, one of the complaints that I heard, which I feel like is very valid, is,

4:35

what is the story going to be generic with Trek's daughter?

4:38

Because we have one of the daughters introduced, and I believe he has three kids and are the other two just going to.

4:44

And what that story, actually, what the complaint was, was

4:47

she's just going to kind of be the rebellious one,

4:49

and Trek's going to be like, no, you don't need to be like that.

4:51

And then Trek comes to terms and kind of meets in the middle type ordeal or whatever.

4:56

And I was like, maybe, hopefully not, because we've seen that so many times.

5:01

And then maybe like the other two, the other two kids just follow like trek of the onus suit.

5:04

Really. Another thing that I was worried about when they're looking at that mirror,

5:09

are we taking this as a multiverse thing? Don't give me, I hope not.

5:13

Oh, I can't see anymore.

5:15

Not in Shrek, you know, and we kind of already did something like that, too, with, What number was it like for?

5:21

I don't even know. It's one more. This is. Yeah. For, with, Rumplestiltskin when he signs the contract.

5:27

Kind of goes back in time a little bit, and Fiona's like a warrior now, and.

5:30

Those are all pretty good. Yeah. But. Yeah, nevertheless. Yeah, I'm just kind of.

5:34

I'm. I don't want to hear multiverse anymore. My God, I'm so.

5:36

I don't know, man, that mirror thing. I don't know what's a you could take it

5:40

if you do like a deeper thought of it, it could be a multiverse thing.

5:44

I just thought it was like a meta thing, like talking about, like, kind of talking to us a little bit, you know. Good.

5:48

As India playing the daughter, she definitely be the main

5:51

like not a main character but a very big character in this.

5:53

Yeah. So yeah, because it's definitely next chapter to his life. Right.

5:56

So we always seen him as babies and now we get the creators actual like, you know, cared about characters.

6:01

Shrek is back. I remember I remember when the first Shrek came out is when I had my first job.

6:05

Well, second job was at toys R us. Like selling those old DVDs and stuff like that.

6:09

It's just been man. Yeah. I was looking at one that, somebody was showing off.

6:13

I guess I had a bunch of Erath ups, though, which is. That's very interesting. Those activities.

6:18

And they were like, you could win a Xbox like, original.

6:21

So, like, yeah, it's, so ancient.

6:25

Let's move into some Star Wars news. So we have Kathleen Kennedy, who's stepping down at the end of this year.

6:30

She's okay. So I have a lot to say about this, but I don't have a lot to say about this.

6:33

I have a lot to bitch about this. But.

6:37

She she's the pioneer of everything we don't like.

6:40

And every time, like, I hate to be such a downer on this, but,

6:43

like, every time something good comes out of Star Wars, you always give credit to, like, Dave Filoni or something.

6:47

Yeah, but every time something bad happens,

6:50

I only hear Kathleen Kennedy brought up, and I don't know

6:53

if that's bias or if that's just people being jackasses.

6:56

Maybe. Yeah, yeah, but. I don't know.

6:58

I'm just kind of happy to hear go because at least with it, we could get rid

7:01

of some of that negative or, that surrounding Star Wars right now.

7:04

And I'm not even talking like culture war stuff.

7:07

I'm just saying like, hey, you guys botched the trilogy, the prequel

7:11

or the, sequel trilogy. Yeah, the second movie, but messed everything up.

7:15

Yeah, that's a little under her control. So I don't know.

7:17

What do you think? Yeah, I think, like, you have a, one.

7:20

Well, first of all, one, if you have anything negative

7:22

to really say that something like to this big thing that's bad because I feel like you're

7:26

pretty positive most of the time when something comes out. Or I try to be.

7:28

Yeah, I really try to be. Yeah.

7:30

But yeah, I think it's super valid to say, like if something negative comes out,

7:33

then people blame Kathleen Kennedy. Right?

7:36

But a lot of it too, is that she is very present

7:39

and within those negative things that we see her like,

7:42

kind of like, you know, advertising or promoting these things.

7:47

Always on the red carpet, all these negative stories.

7:49

Exactly. I think hopefully we can get back to, focus on on

7:54

story more, I think with, I don't know how much involvement.

7:58

Correct me if I'm wrong because I haven't really seen this, that I choose not to.

8:00

Really. It just looks horrible. The acolyte. Right.

8:03

How much like involvement she had with it and then to kind of ruin

8:08

some of that lore, like you're, you're dealing with

8:11

an extremely popular franchise that has, expanded universe

8:15

before Disney even bought with, like, novels and video games and whatnot.

8:18

And a lot of people hold that stuff dear to them.

8:20

But one of the big things, too, is when you start

8:23

changing the importance of, like, Anakin Skywalker, right?

8:26

And I know, like acolyte, if I remember correctly, of what I've heard

8:30

is that they were talking about how a child was made by force.

8:34

Right. Okay. Real quick on that.

8:36

So what if. So? First off, she didn't have much to do with the acolyte.

8:40

Okay? She's mostly a movie side of things. And so she kind of just that was whomever was in charge back. Like, okay.

8:44

That person no longer works in Hollywood. I could almost getting. It.

8:48

But it makes me want a Big Mac. You could talk to me about it, that, you know, working behind the counter.

8:52

But for Kathleen Kennedy, I think she mostly touched the movies.

8:55

She mostly did the Rey stuff. She mostly did the sequels, trilogies, and then she did

8:58

Darla Disney for Indiana Jones, which I think for a lot of people is also like, what?

9:02

Yeah, yeah. That's bad. I still have rough yeah.

9:06

Force babies thing like that. It was, it was just specifically like there was a I can't footage

9:12

I can remember Skip I think it's called a convergence. Like there was a pocket of condensed force on this planet.

9:18

Like they got it out of there. So it wasn't like, you know, baby Jesus.

9:21

And kind of thing. Yeah, but but that's the thing, though, like,

9:24

we've always learned that it was an Anakin thing.

9:26

Like that's what happened to him, right?

9:28

So, Anakin, the idea like, behind Anakin is like the force willed

9:32

and it can happen. This is like we get this, like, wormhole thing

9:34

and a bunch of witches manipulated it to get it to, like, impregnate somebody.

9:38

So it was it was more like, not the will of the force

9:43

and more like, you know, we're force, which is is what we do.

9:46

Okay? Okay. Yeah. I mean, it just kind of, I guess I got the vibe

9:50

that it gets kind of took away of, like, hold on, this is the one and only.

9:53

Right. But I see what you're saying there.

9:55

But yeah, I mean, I don't know if it's something where a lot of things

9:59

I don't I'm not going to get like two of the Star Wars with it

10:02

that are says and things that's happened that it's almost like Captain Kelly

10:05

Kennedy should have been almost like stepping her foot down a little bit,

10:08

especially with this Rey series. And like things that were mentioned before with the director

10:12

and just talking too much, and you're putting that bad rap already.

10:15

People are hating it before your movie. And that's symbol of like maybe.

10:19

Yeah, you might agree with it. Maybe that's the problem, maybe that's the right. Right.

10:24

But it's it's about stewardship, right?

10:27

Yeah. Your job is to usher this franchise that has grown,

10:32

that has taught us so many things so that your your job is to usher

10:35

why you have the stewardship over. And she didn't do that very well, in my opinion.

10:39

I think she did. I think she let things fester.

10:42

She let changes happen that were obviously detrimental to the trilogy that you're building.

10:47

Look, that's her fault. And whomever takes over, which I do feel like from what

10:50

I'm hearing from people on the inside, stuff like that, it is a Dave

10:53

Filoni, Jon Favreau are going to combo run Star Wars going forward.

10:57

Of course. I'm very excited about that. Yeah, there are people who are not there.

11:00

People were like, well, at least you try new things, and Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau

11:03

are just going to make prequel stuff and Clone Wars stuff,

11:06

which I mean, like, I mean, like, yeah, that's fanfiction for me.

11:09

Thank you. But I, you know, there are people who are not happy about that.

11:11

So, you know, I just think that

11:15

Kathleen stepping down

11:18

is the right move for a new generation of Star Wars.

11:22

And we have a couple movies on the way.

11:25

We're ending off this Filoni Mandalorian world.

11:28

And, you know, we don't know what's coming next, but I think that might be the right move

11:32

just so that we don't have this, like, negative connotation.

11:34

And people can go in with a little bit more of a positive vibe.

11:37

Already going to be hard to have new Star Wars movies that are going to reign it.

11:41

And people have such a bad taste in their mouth from those movies.

11:43

I necessarily rate a character, but the movie's storyline.

11:46

So if you could kind of chip away at it, like removing Kathleen and stuff like that,

11:50

I think it might give people a little bit more of an open mind going in.

11:53

If if one of these two, take over the, as president and do this combo thing,

11:57

what do you think that happens to the Rey movie?

11:59

I think there might be some shaking up. I think if they do get Dave and John in there,

12:03

what's going to happen is they're going to say, look,

12:06

you need to make sure this movie is cohesive with the rest of Star Wars,

12:09

not just a sequel trilogy or even something new.

12:12

Yeah, maybe we don't need to use the word Skywalker,

12:15

but there does have to be something where established roles as in like,

12:18

you know, force ghosts and things like that, those have to be implemented.

12:21

That that's something that Dave does. He like establishes new law

12:25

and he uses George, George Lucas as kind of his idol for that.

12:28

Like he's went to George for stuff. Yeah. So I think that's what we need is, is something like that.

12:32

So I'm going to be like, go in and like, you don't have to say the word Skywalker.

12:35

We get the people are trying to like phase it out,

12:38

but you still need to not just invent new shit.

12:41

That's going to negate everything we did beforehand. You know, that doesn't work.

12:44

And that's one thing that Dave really tries hard is to not negate anything that's already been established.

12:49

Yeah. And I feel like that's, honestly like the fan in him.

12:53

Right. So to even, like, have that communication, like,

12:55

I have the ability to talk to George Lucas, the creator of Star Wars, like,

12:58

and kind of get his inputs or whatever, and that maybe that's something that's needed again,

13:02

I'm not saying to bring them back or whatever they want to do, but.

13:06

Yeah. Maybe, you know, like, why not talk to the actual individual

13:09

that created this universe and it has input on things, and I feel like

13:13

and now it's in the hands of someone that's really passionate and it's a fan of Star Wars.

13:16

And maybe we could we get actually, hopefully that passion hits us in the face when we're right on the screen.

13:22

That's why Clone Wars worked so well, because he worked in tandem

13:24

with George on that, saw what George's vision was for the prequels

13:28

and, you know, furthered that out, like with bringing Darth

13:30

Maul back and stuff like that. There's all stuff that he worked in tandem with George Lucas to do,

13:34

to really fleshing out. And there were things where George Lucas pushed back on him

13:36

and he wanted to do, and it was like, good that,

13:39

you know, that push back and forth, that discussion needs to happen.

13:41

And when you have somebody, I hate to just keep pushing everything

13:44

on Kennedy, but, it feels like she would just let it happen.

13:48

And it's like, no, there's established laws

13:50

don't just kill Luke Skywalker, like a stupid way or whatever. But,

13:54

by the way, guys, I want to make sure to make it real clear he's still got the fucking eyepatch on, so.

13:58

Give you the entire. Time we're talking.

14:01

I'm still talking. The pirate squeaks. So just so you're all aware what's going on, I buy it, I'm.

14:05

A yakuza now. Okay. So. Well, I didn't even know you'd play that game.

14:09

That's that's I, I just I don't know anybody who played that game.

14:12

I'm not gonna lie, I haven't played it. Yeah, I literally just came in, and I just gotta be like, yeah.

14:17

Yeah. So, I'll be playing it this week.

14:20

So we got DC and Marvel news too. Let's move it to DC. And I want to start off something light.

14:24

We have our first image. It is so first image of how Jordan John Stewart from the Lantern series.

14:31

You are Green Lantern man. What are you pulling from this image?

14:34

Not much. Okay. So yeah.

14:37

Yeah. So yeah. But what? But what I did pull for the image of them too.

14:40

Just walking alone on a on a street, like. Cool. It's not like anything cosmic at all.

14:44

So way to go with the first image. Yeah. Is that we have a, like, a rough looking how Jordan

14:49

in the clean look in John Stewart. Right. So the what I saw out of this was like okay

14:56

experience really. So we're not getting like day one how Jordan,

15:00

which we already kind of knew anyway because it's at the Green Lantern Club.

15:02

So hopefully something that's actually established with like you know, the other cards, just like Guy

15:06

Gardner going to be in Superman and then obviously John Sutter with this one.

15:09

So there's the establishment there.

15:11

A long time ago, I told you what I was really hoping for was

15:14

Howard Jordan kind of doing his own thing and creating his own ring.

15:17

That's a little bit too much right now, but I don't think that's too far off

15:22

with what I'm pulling from this image, just because it almost look

15:25

like how Jordan is just fed up and he's kind of done.

15:29

So I'm hoping we maybe get to that eventually, but that's

15:33

really all I can see with this thing.

15:36

I mean, there's not much to really tell. Like I mean, is there?

15:39

I was even thinking of like, well, it's Jack, it's a little wrinkly or,

15:41

you know, like so I was trying to get anything out of this, but I.

15:45

Know I'm like, is there like a jacket? And that kind of makes sense. Yeah. Right. Yeah.

15:48

But yeah. And then even just his jacket looks like something having a construction site.

15:53

Well, he's an architect, so there's all kinds of things there.

15:55

Yeah. What do you. Think? One thing I will say, first off, we do see the ring.

15:58

Like the ring is actually on his finger.

16:00

What, you didn't notice that? We'll see you covering one of your damn eyes.

16:04

What it is. That sort of. See? You can't see shit.

16:07

Yeah. You're right. That's the image. That's Nick.

16:10

That's the curve right there. Because I'm looking at. Yeah, we're looking at two pictures.

16:13

One is a little zoomed in. John Stewart's in this to me.

16:16

Move my eyepatch over. Hold that. Oh, son of a bitch.

16:19

Yeah, you're right. I'm in on that. So we do have the ring.

16:23

I think it looks pretty good from what we can see. I've zoom the hell out of that thing before.

16:27

This does look like a worn down, a beaten how, Jordan.

16:29

So what? I kind of want out of this story. Like, I think the easiest way for them to do this.

16:33

Because we also have Guy Gardner in this world. So we know that, like, Green Leonard's well established.

16:37

I want him to be in the beginning, lost.

16:41

I don't care about the I do care, but I'm kind of just whatever ready retire

16:45

and then through the process of this series, regain

16:49

the will that he needs to be.

16:51

Amazing how Jordan again okay.

16:53

Meanwhile he sees like, yeah, I got John Stewart.

16:56

He's the backup John Stewart now kind of assume he's going to be taking over for how.

16:59

Because was kind of get beaten up. Maybe even that caught him like watch out

17:01

for how he's he's been through hell and back. Maybe I mean, this is wild far out there.

17:07

What if this is post like parallax, Green Lantern,

17:10

Green Lantern, who's already done, like, rhymes and is like,

17:14

I'm struggling with this, like PTSD of me killing Green Lanterns in the past?

17:19

Maybe I, I see that, like, you're pulling for it, right?

17:22

Because he does. Just look, walk down

17:24

and, hopefully we're not saying all this, and that's just how it looks, right?

17:27

Or like, man, you look like shit. So.

17:29

Oh, man, it was. This is my book. They're filming early in the morning.

17:32

You know, that's shit happens.

17:34

Yeah. But I could definitely see that, though, right?

17:37

Like, because obviously Jon Stewart looks like he's well put together and,

17:41

and you get the. How jarring. If I was like, I bet there's so many times I'm kind of exhausted from it.

17:45

And he's looking like it. So I mean, that'd be interesting.

17:48

Story line is two as well, but hopefully we're not getting it.

17:51

Oh, Jordan's a beast. He's a justice League.

17:54

Oh, yeah. Right. I don't want to see him just bitching and moaning from right pretty expeditiously.

18:00

I want Jon Stewart to be part of the Justice League. But I want how Jordan, like you're saying, okay, white ring or whatever.

18:05

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. I'm I'm going next level up I am how Jordan.

18:10

And there's like two different directions he can go. He can go white ring or whatever he needs to do.

18:13

Yeah. Or again he can go like that parallax,

18:16

you know all fear and you know, touch of the yellow side whatever it is.

18:20

Yeah. You know so we have two versions of how they're, they kind of retconned all that where he went on a killing spree.

18:26

And it's a shame because that's kind of an important I don't know to me.

18:29

I always thought there's a really interesting part of him

18:31

is in the 90s when he went in like, you know, and so, like the entire time,

18:34

he's always like, yeah, I'm how Jordan? I'm amazing.

18:36

But there was this one time where I was the biggest villain

18:38

for Green Lantern, and it wasn't a multiverse version of him.

18:41

Yeah, it was our Green Lantern that did that.

18:44

And so there's always that part where it's kind of like living with your demons,

18:47

but they retconned it, and it's just DC like, wanting to sell more books.

18:50

That sucks. Yeah, I like that idea, though. If Jon Stewart was going to be a Justice League member and then you got how Jordan

18:55

you up on his own and willing to the ring in becoming this Green Lantern

18:59

god type thing, like, that'd be cool too.

19:01

Actually, I don't mind seeing that as long as we get how Jordan.

19:03

Now probably. Now. Jordan. That's all I care about. Yeah.

19:05

And they got a good actor for him too. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

19:08

Let's go over some of the other DC now announcement. So we have confirmation Robert Pattinson's not going to be the Batman for the DCeU.

19:13

We are getting Batman Part two. Sounds like we're getting Batman Part three as well.

19:17

Oh well, we're getting brave on the board. It'll be a completely different Batman.

19:21

I think this is needed because I think the other Batman

19:24

needs to be in a world that's Superman existing so well.

19:28

Metropolis and Gotham do, like, shadow each other.

19:32

Like so. They're opposite sides of the spectrum, right?

19:35

But there's still has to be like, you can't just

19:37

I don't know, there has to be a way for those who fit in the world where Superman's over here, you know what I'm saying?

19:41

Does that make sense to you? Well, yeah. I mean, a very, comic book, like.

19:44

Right. Like they're. When Batman and Superman are together, you don't get the Gotham feels,

19:49

almost all the time, right? But you get the Gotham villains.

19:52

And I'm not saying it's like super Metropolis feels also,

19:56

but, it needs to be something in the middle, because then

19:59

it just seems like in those two worlds coexist on a on a big screen.

20:03

Or will it just a little look a little too funky or a little too dark, maybe.

20:06

Like, that's not it works. Right. But there is like this colorful

20:11

Gotham feel metropolis when you're reading like, what's that?

20:14

World's finest, that Harley Quinn or poison Ivy pops up,

20:18

and it's just, like, vibrant and bright, you know, it's it's definitely different.

20:22

So they got Pattinson. I just with the super well established Batman

20:26

I feel like I really love that Batman I agree. Yeah.

20:30

I don't know if he would transition very well even himself to be in that universe.

20:33

So it makes sense. Maybe I'll bring a different one. I fully agree with you.

20:35

Yeah, I think he does. Good for that. Like noir detective. Very gritty.

20:40

You know, the Penguin universe to write the penguins in this universe with him

20:44

that fits for him. And so the other Batman, I almost want him to be like.

20:47

Like this Batman two. He's also. Can I lean and like, is definitely fisticuffs.

20:51

Might lose a fight. I want the Batman. It's going to be in our other universe, the brave and the bold

20:56

to be this big, hulking monster version of Batman.

20:58

Like, okay. Okay, not not like the absolute Batman.

21:01

That's just stupid. But, you know, somebody who could, like,

21:04

really hold his own and actually see, like, one on one with Bane,

21:08

and he's also going to be the father Batman. He's going to have Damian Wayne, by his side.

21:12

Nightwing as well established. So this is also Batman, who's been at it for a while.

21:15

Frankly, I hate to say this because I'm not necessarily the biggest fan of him.

21:19

I liked his fighting style, but Ben Affleck, Batman,

21:22

I think he's a Batman, if it's best. If you literally beat me to it

21:24

because I was going to say Ben Affleck, Batman was that badass that

21:28

it was just fight everyone, and especially that he even showed off a little bit of,

21:31

how much he could take to and like, that quick,

21:35

flash movie in the opening, which, yeah, I'm not going to talk about flash.

21:39

Oh, but him in it and kicking ass up and out of cars.

21:43

Whatever. Being dragged across the street.

21:46

That's cool. I mean, I like that, so.

21:48

Yeah, one image I was gonna say was, I can't find, but it's like.

21:53

You ever seen the old Batman?

21:55

Where? Yeah, he has buffer. He's kind of meaner, like in the face.

21:59

It's more square. Is similar color. Is that what it is?

22:02

Okay, as I say, that might be one, right?

22:04

Because, yeah, that's a little better. Like you're saying is is Batman.

22:07

So he's he's got a Joker by his side whenever Frank Miller Miller's that

22:11

the Joker one with him to are no joke. I'm sorry. Robin.

22:13

Yeah, that would work. Yeah, I can see.

22:16

Yeah. That's it. Now, speaking of the bat family and Nightwing,

22:20

we're going to be getting a live action Teen Titans movie.

22:23

Not sure if it's gonna be considered Teen Titans or just Titans,

22:25

but this is a good cast of characters that, like Raven,

22:29

Starfire, that this is such a great cast of characters

22:32

that, for some reason has not really been getting that live action movie treatment.

22:36

I think this is a slam dunk and it's like, yeah, have this going alongside

22:39

your Justice League. Justice League could be this big series, epic things,

22:44

and these could be kind of a fun or a little bit more lightweight,

22:46

maybe a Guardians of the Galaxy, but maybe a little bit darker.

22:49

I don't know that you could do something different with this.

22:52

And we got Damian helming that now since he's, braved the older what's what's the plan?

22:55

No, this is going to be Nightwing was what it sounds like.

22:58

It could be. It could be Damian, but I don't think so. I think Damian.

23:02

Which areas of how much the, we're going to mix the,

23:04

you know, put together already, you know, so. Well, it's.

23:06

Probably one of those things like one of the classic movies is that Damon's doing something too far.

23:10

He doesn't like, you know, him and Batman always butting heads.

23:12

And then his older brother comes in basically

23:16

and says, like, hey, trust me, I know he's like this,

23:18

but that's actually him telling you he loves you kind of thing. You guys are like.

23:21

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Then I guess we'll start over with cyborg. You think too as well?

23:25

Yeah, it's I wanted to do some. Okay. The entire I mean, what a perfect place to introduce some really cyborg.

23:30

Yeah, that's a great spot for him. Yeah. Okay, okay, I like yeah, I like it.

23:33

And we get more mascara, too. It'll be really good.

23:35

Yeah, yeah. Supergirl is filming now.

23:37

It's been described as a gritty sci fi film, and apparently Jason Momoa has spot on.

23:43

Lobo. I want one. Image.

23:45

Yeah. Oh, yeah. Because, he though.

23:49

Okay, just a drop my memory. That's confirmed. Confirm. Right.

23:52

Like he's going to play Lobo because I know he was really excited about what's coming in the future. Okay?

23:56

And I know I was like the hints a thing. And it made it seem like that's what it was.

24:00

But I just don't recall if I saw something like, yeah, he's Lobo.

24:03

Yeah. The trick with it, though, is because it's sci fi.

24:06

There's filming it all indoors on, on, you know, stages.

24:10

And so we can't see what he looks like. A lot of times when they film outside, like we got shit from, you know, from,

24:15

you know, all these Deadpool movies or whatever immediately.

24:18

Yeah. This is work. Yet it's like senior who we just saw in Creature

24:22

Commandos is going to be the bad guy for Peacemaker Season two.

24:25

Oh, okay. Watch. Okay, man. Okay. I'm finished.

24:27

I haven't finished, I'm finished. It now, but, Yeah.

24:31

Yeah, I was enjoying it when I was watching it, by the way.

24:33

I was like, you can't watch this for the kids. I was like, this is all the time I got, okay.

24:37

She's not wrong. This is not you're. Not seeing this.

24:40

Cartoon characters are like, fuck each other, but yeah, yeah. But

24:44

try and there's just one.

24:46

Well, I haven't got to that part then.

24:48

It's episode three. Okay?

24:52

He's like, I really have that on replay.

24:54

It's like, no, but that's cool though.

24:57

That's cool. Yeah, I like that he's gonna be the bad guy in the same voice actors. Good.

25:00

Be actual actor in it. He's the one from, you know, casting.

25:03

Why can't I ever think of anything? Winter soldier, Captain America, Winter soldier. He's in that movie.

25:06

Okay, okay. So. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. That's cool.

25:09

Yeah. We have the release schedule now. Or the release.

25:11

Sorry. Strategy. So this studio is gonna be releasing two live action films and one animated film

25:17

per year, and two live action series and two animated series per year.

25:22

Yeah, that's pretty extensive for, like, starting the studio a new, basically.

25:26

And I brought it up to you, and I just hope that, I'm gonna say that

25:29

the same way. I said it was that hopefully they're just not saturating

25:34

this universe already right off the bat and just feeling like it's too much.

25:36

And some of the stuff is like, I really want to watch.

25:39

But then it's like, okay, it's a cartoon. Starfire. Right.

25:42

I think it's one. And it's like, okay, well, what's the feel of that?

25:46

Is it going to feel like, Miss Marvel where I could

25:49

just totally skip don't care if not for my myself.

25:52

But I do love these characters. So that's the thing. The two. That's like.

25:55

Okay, maybe this is something I can just put on

25:57

and maybe that's what it is, and maybe that's why I'll enjoy it that way, you know?

26:01

And, like. Teen Titans, like, we love Teen Titans so much.

26:04

A lot of us were introduced because of the cartoon. Yeah.

26:06

And so that's how you get the kids into DC and expand your your entire brand.

26:10

Yeah, yeah. So, I'm curious if the stories

26:13

are going to be pretty deep or not, you know what I'm saying?

26:16

That's. Yeah, that's a good point. One thing that they did say, both Safran and,

26:21

Gunn said that they're prioritizing well done scripts over the schedule.

26:26

So if the script's not right yet, they'll said, we're going to delay it, just so you know. Okay.

26:30

So I love that they're putting that out first because take another year.

26:35

Take another two years. As long as this thing looks good, you guys don't botch it.

26:38

I'm totally on. Board with that. Yeah. Yeah okay.

26:42

Yeah. Just curious if they're going to do like this. Where? Like, hey, up front.

26:46

It looks like a kid's show, but when you go to, like, some, like, Clone

26:49

Wars where, man, some of these stories are deep, you know, that's true.

26:53

Yeah. So curious if that's something that they'll do with, these animated, films.

26:57

I mean, there's like that middle ground because, like, I think Rebels Clone Wars, I think they did.

27:01

They've decided to do that after season one.

27:03

When rebels, I think off the gate, off the bat,

27:06

they were like, this is going to be for like a teenager. It's not too young. Not too old.

27:09

Yeah. And it'll just keep adding to the stories, to the characters and.

27:13

Yeah. Interesting. Yeah. A couple of the things.

27:17

Yes. Everything else is in the works. Still, while the series is put on the backburner,

27:21

but it's still going to be, you know, some somewhere out there,

27:24

things like the Swamp Thing is on hold until the right

27:27

James Mangold is done with everything else. They want to make sure he's the director for it,

27:30

so they're not going even to start production until he's ready for that.

27:33

But there's a couple. Things that we're waiting for, like the right person or something to make sure that it's right.

27:38

But the Waller thing, how do you feel about that? Because me personally, I have enough Waller.

27:41

I feel like Waller has been just slammed in us with the same kind of like storyline.

27:46

When I saw a creature commander and I saw Waller again, I'm like,

27:48

why is Waller literally in everything we do in the DC?

27:52

Like I'm talking video games with suicide or Justice League suicide kills, whatever.

27:57

And then just, the last Suicide Squad, but then the Suicide Squad

28:01

before that one, and then some, like, gets at the animated show, but then anime movies.

28:05

I kind of look, she's part of the evil trinity that's doing the whole absolute stuff.

28:10

That's like, you know what I'm saying? Like, she's one of them with, Fail-Safe and I forgot the other one is.

28:15

But like, yeah, she's she's everywhere right now, so I could use a couple.

28:19

Yeah, yeah. So without her like, oh my goodness.

28:21

I guess she does one thing. Okay.

28:24

Like in every she's she's like. Evil Nick Fury. We all know what's going on. Yeah.

28:28

And honestly it's the it's like every time I see her it's just the team

28:32

put it's put together and they she's like, I got a bomb on your head.

28:36

Like, yeah, I fucking know. Okay. Yeah.

28:39

That's it. Joey Louise Travis I think is trying to do it, but Marvel could use

28:44

like that just one evil doer that's kind of just never going to die.

28:49

And it's always around. Even at the end of Creature Commandos.

28:51

Like she finds a way to. No, that's our evil.

28:53

No. Sorry. That's a comic book I just read where she found a way to blame it on somebody else who survived. I'm sorry.

28:57

I just got to. Yeah, yeah. Comics.

29:01

But, yeah, I mean, DC could use that, or Mr. Marvel could use that. Like that character.

29:04

That's just kind of like constantly pushing stories from the bad side.

29:06

Yeah, for. Sure I yeah, yeah, yeah.

29:09

Now they're talking Marvel because I did that quick clean transition.

29:13

It's really these leaks man. Have you had a chance to look at these leaks. These are yeah.

29:17

This is like some. Insane leaks here.

29:19

Oh man. Talk about that person.

29:21

You're done for the rest of your life. You're here. You're fired.

29:23

You're gone. He got leak and he got hacked. It's.

29:26

But still, you're still firing, man.

29:29

Man. But. Okay. So what? Yeah. What are you.

29:32

What do you think? So you're. You're saying he got hacked?

29:35

That's what. It's it. Apparently he got hacked. Yeah. It's actually what are their normal concept artists?

29:40

And he was. I mean, like, you wouldn't give up your job, and he was hacked.

29:43

Damn. And sucks.

29:45

So from these leaks, everything's posted on our website.

29:48

It's all posted online, on our social media channels, accounts.

29:52

But let's just kind of go bit by bit. So first off, yeah. Let's do.

29:55

I am so excited about God Emperor doom sitting there

29:59

with Sheriff Strange next to him. Yeah. Lana's got, you know, Mr.

30:02

Fantastic in chains. It looks medieval. Let's let varia from Battle World.

30:06

It just looks so incredible.

30:08

This is this is as comic book.

30:10

I think I've seen MCU try to go. Oh, man, you know what I'm going to say?

30:14

Like the little close up of zoom. Doom doom, doom.

30:17

Yeah, we're on zoom. Doom.

30:19

I didn't think anyone was making good visuals except Marvel Rivals.

30:24

And I was like, this looks dope. I this doom, this doom looks so dope.

30:29

I don't see, Robert Downey Junior playing this doom.

30:32

It looks that good. And and I'm not saying no discredit to Robert Downey Jr, but no, I know yeah,

30:36

this seems like on a different level. So I, I kind of think he might not be playing doom and this is why.

30:43

Oh okay. Let's hear it. Let's hear it. I don't think he's the only doom I think I think we're going to

30:48

have him be like a doom and then just get nuked.

30:52

Like I think you'll be the doom that falls to God.

30:54

Emperor of doom. Like it's okay. Okay.

30:58

You know, because he's he's trying to go further beyond our powers.

31:00

Right? And so maybe in that process,

31:03

they're kind of going to borrow that King storyline that they're trying to do

31:05

where King, their one true king, takes out all the other kings.

31:08

Why don't they just let doom do that? And he takes out all the other dooms.

31:11

And one of them is Robert Downey Jr. So we have Robert Downey Jr.

31:14

Like doing some like masterful saying and we're like, here he goes again.

31:18

And then all of a sudden Killian Murphy playing doom just like shakes him in the back and he drops down.

31:22

What did oh shit moment that would be for everybody man.

31:26

That would be amazing. For the fact that two like Robert Downey Jr has been doing this for so long,

31:30

how much longer does they have in him? So that could have been a trick like right.

31:33

We think that's going to be it. And then oh man I like that idea actually a lot.

31:37

And already just the kind of guy that's just like,

31:39

you're going to cut me $20 million check just for that one bit.

31:42

But also he's down for the for the screw around like he's he's

31:45

currently in develop. He's currently developing like Sherlock Holmes

31:48

and he's making his own franchise out of that.

31:50

So like he's busy he doesn't necessarily need to be doom for the next series of movies.

31:55

And if you're going to be doom, sorry, buddy,

31:57

you're tied up for the next ten years because he's too important of a character

32:01

to be a dentist away. Exactly. Yeah.

32:03

He has to be something that lasts a lot longer than Thanos.

32:06

I just want to jump in real quick. Actually, while I said that. That reminds me, God, Emperor Dune in the beginning, like when we see doom,

32:11

that version of doom, he kills Thanos by taking his skeleton out.

32:16

So what if in placing what if instead of Thanos, they do that to a different version of doom or what?

32:20

Like that. So there is kind of precedent in the comic book of him kind of doing that.

32:23

Yeah, that's cool, that's cool. I like that now.

32:28

Yeah, I see that like, people, taking like, seeing the characters, in this image.

32:36

Yeah. Which is fucking phenomenal because I can't even picture

32:39

all this, like, do like, how do you see that?

32:41

Yeah. But what do you think of,

32:44

some of these other cases we're talking about Robert Downey Jr.

32:46

What about what about, Benedict Cumberbatch playing strange?

32:48

Do you think this is going to be something that last longer as well?

32:50

I feel like some of these older characters that's been in for a long time,

32:53

it's almost like their time to go. So is this going to be the wrap up series?

32:57

What do you think? I think strange can be relegated to this senior in the room like he's he's

33:03

going to be he's going to be he's going to well he knows about it in his universe.

33:06

But with secret wars merging all the universes, I think

33:10

he'll be put on the Illuminati level where we don't need to see him until it is

33:14

an Avengers event. Not an Avengers movie, but an event.

33:17

And then we have like, you know, whatever the other Avengers doing things from day to day.

33:20

Yeah. So something special like this where he's playing Sheriff strange.

33:24

That's cool. Okay. But we don't need him to have multiple doctor Strange movies.

33:27

As much as I enjoy them. You know, we don't necessarily always need to.

33:30

Okay, so in the next one, what do you think? We're going to talk about this Hulk one.

33:34

Let's talk about. Yeah. What's it called? Greenland or whatever they call it.

33:37

Like. It's a, it's a, it's actually a place I've just. Hulks. Yeah.

33:40

And so we see Hulk's in the background. It's basically Shrek five again.

33:45

Yeah. But I will say, like, what?

33:47

A close up on scar. Scar looks crazy better here than he did at the end of She-Hulk.

33:52

Yeah. So that I'm happy that they kind of address it.

33:55

Just, facial hair is what it they looked like they did, but that was sweet.

33:57

That looks good. Yeah, they look good. Costumes look good because, it gives me, like, that Planet Hulk

34:02

type, World War Hulk feels, Yeah.

34:05

I think, an attitude adjustment needs to change for, Mark Ruffalo.

34:10

Hulk. Hey, there. Well, it looks like he's still smart and this, doesn't he?

34:14

That's fine. And I'm fine. I'm fine with that. But he's

34:17

got. He's such a bitch, you know, like, I just.

34:19

Oh, I just don't like it. And, for me, this whole just.

34:22

Does it look like that type of character? Some.

34:25

Hopefully there is a shift, like, like some leading type Hulk,

34:28

but then I can see, like, scar, is

34:32

maybe he's being too aggressive, and maybe that's like the

34:35

The clash that they're having. I like that I idea maybe, Hulk's using too much brain.

34:39

He's using too much brawn and you're like, someone meet in the middle.

34:42

So maybe it'll be forcing Skaar to like,

34:45

hey, yeah, let's fight, but think a little bit.

34:47

Looks like he is. I can't tell if he's like, oh.

34:51

That looks like the. If it was something that it's coming out of him, like, does this line come.

34:55

Up with an arrow? Like he's running around telling him, like, I just got shot.

34:58

There's like a being attacked. Yeah. Because then it. Mark Ruffalo, it looks like he's worried.

35:01

Like like a regular Hulk looks. He's a little worried. Yeah. Yeah, that could be something.

35:05

What am I favorite is such small detail.

35:07

But off to the left side there. You see, like this little kid Hulk. Yeah, yeah.

35:10

Who's crying? Some raging out.

35:12

And what if he's like, you know how it hulks can hulk out? Basically.

35:15

What is that? Little kids like? Hulking, hulking. Out.

35:17

Oh, man. So the mom's trying to calm him down. Like, please don't destroy the shop again. I can't pay for that.

35:21

Yeah, I mean, it could. Be a thing where it's like to the to the people, right?

35:25

Maybe the people have a differences of, like, how Hulk runs things and how Skaar is, like, maybe going on his side.

35:30

Now for She-Hulk, I'm one of the other ones that kind of seem

35:34

I enjoy the show. I literally just hated the clip of you

35:37

talking about that in the last time you were on. Yeah.

35:39

But really, I'm actually kind of just a She-Hulk fan, really.

35:43

And I feel like there's more of that. Oh, yeah. They could kind of really explore this, this attitude.

35:50

It feels like that's coming out of this picture. Right? Not this,

35:54

lawyer, business one.

35:56

I think this is the She-Hulk that I would love to see in this universe.

35:59

And I feel like that's an attitude adjustment to that's needed

36:01

with, with the previous She-Hulk from the series.

36:04

So what do you like?

36:07

She has. Maybe she's the one that's on it. Looks like she's the brawler of the three of them, right?

36:10

Doesn't she look like she's the fighter? Like the way she got? She looks fierce, and it's almost like she's into that.

36:15

Or if she's just, like, middle ground where it's like, hey,

36:18

we have to take action here, or. Hey, Skaar, stop being stupid and running in there.

36:22

And then maybe that's what always wins her. And she's like that grounded person for them. I don't know.

36:27

Off track. I want her to be. A duel is so bad. And rivals.

36:31

That. We have is so dope. Like you could like hulk out that you get extra damage that way.

36:35

Yeah. Yeah. I could see her just.

36:39

I think that hulking out and I wasn't just being the standard as the Hulk, you know?

36:43

Like, that's. There's no there, because we don't need that gimmick the entire time.

36:46

Yeah, I. Think I've already had enough of Hulk screaming.

36:48

I threw that out. That for real?

36:51

And then let's move on to. We have way more Star-Lord than I would think you would expect.

36:54

So we have this really weird one, which is Star-Lord and White Vision,

36:57

like sharing a DiGiorno pizza and drinking way too much beer on his couch.

37:01

Yeah, you're very specific. This pizza.

37:03

Yeah, because that pizza does not look good, bro.

37:05

That's not a pizza that they got. Nobody delivered that shit. That DiGiorno.

37:09

Yeah, yeah. Because there's almost, ruins, like.

37:14

Hold on. So my vision found his way because we don't know anything yet, right?

37:19

I assume if he's hanging out on the couch. Probably sleeping on the couch.

37:23

Yeah. Grandpa's house. That means he didn't find his way, and he's like, man, I miss Wanda.

37:28

Okay. Okay. That's a good way to take pick this dude.

37:30

But it's almost like there's a,

37:33

When I look at this, I'm like, okay, that's a big ass chunk.

37:36

That was, that skipped right that we got to this point

37:40

and that's like, obviously this is a massive leak.

37:42

So now I'm extremely curious of yeah, maybe you're right.

37:45

Maybe like, this area is that he, try to try to do something

37:49

that didn't work out so well. And now he's back in this neighbor who was Star-Lord.

37:53

But, man, that's so not definitely without expecting to see,

37:57

white vision and, like, just the hoodie and some sweats or whatever.

37:59

Chillin on the couch. It's weird, man. And. Yeah, and he missed.

38:03

He's Star-Lord missing a more. So he's kind of like, yeah, man, my chick's gone too.

38:07

Yeah. Man, we're going out about this picture.

38:11

Yeah, I trust me, dude. I gotta do TikToks on this stuff. I've been looking at too much.

38:16

And the. Speaking of Star-Lord, he's hanging out the Young Avengers here at, like, what looks like a space bar.

38:21

We have, what's his name? Doop. The weird alien dude on the corner. Yeah.

38:25

Miss Marvel Wiccan, we have speed, but I can't tell if that's a specific actor or not.

38:30

We got the whole crew, laying and, Hawkeye.

38:34

But I like how Miss Marvel is, like, looking at Wong, like,

38:37

wow, you know, magic. Like, she's kind of dreamy over them

38:39

the way she is for, like, all other superheroes.

38:41

But just because she's an MCU Fincher's Marvel. Fan, right? Yeah.

38:45

So this just kind of giving us our Young Avengers.

38:47

I can't wait for us to actually get something with this team.

38:50

So is that is that confirm speed?

38:52

Because I was like, I wonder if, like, Wiccan found his brother finally.

38:56

That's what I mean. Speed oh is wicked. Yeah, that's I brothers. Speed isn't speed.

39:00

And you're probably right. Okay, okay.

39:02

I think so. Now you got me questioning myself. I don't know. That's it.

39:05

But I just don't recognize the actor's face.

39:07

That's the thing. You're looking at it like I don't really recognize it.

39:09

It could be some, like, Disney kid, you know, they, you know.

39:12

Yeah, maybe someone new, but, Yeah.

39:14

So you think Star-Lord could be taking up this, Elmo for leadership?

39:18

Like, give him a purpose because he is maybe coming from the couch.

39:21

He's like, I'm such a bomb. I'm just. Yeah, this city has to earth pizza all the time when it's not really shitty.

39:25

I like to talk to some dude, but. But now you're so.

39:29

You're so smart, man. You know what it is?

39:31

He is the leader of this. Would it be cool if he is like the leader of these kids in the same way?

39:35

Final skill to grow a little bit, but like, you know how he, when he was

39:38

with the Guardians of Galaxy and Hulk was there and our Thor was there

39:41

and the whole time was like, Is Thor charge? Am I in charge?

39:43

Yeah, if he still has that complex. But here it it's a bunch of kids.

39:46

Kind of like grew up in the show, and it's just like, guys, I'm in charge, damn it.

39:49

And he's to always put his foot down. Yeah. Wang's the one that actually has an authority, you know, presence.

39:54

In the room. Yeah. Yeah, I see it. I know that could be fun. That would be interesting to see.

39:57

Yeah. No, I mean, I'm getting sold on it, and. It kind of gives them that.

40:00

It'll probably give, like the. That's for sure.

40:04

It'll probably give them like some type of feel or whatever,

40:06

like, hey, this is like the new Guardians to him,

40:08

you know, let this random group of oddballs, you know.

40:12

Yeah. Yeah. Lastly, we have our, new to Charlie.

40:18

We get a new Black Panther. Again, I can't recognize this actor.

40:21

I'm not sure who this would be.

40:24

What are your what are your impressions? Not really. One. Nice to see the tall back.

40:27

Right? Like the I plans of had, like, a,

40:30

I don't want to say or go, but a proper like Black Panther.

40:33

I'm gonna say right from the second one. You're right, you're right. You want to, Charlie.

40:37

And I think. He great job.

40:39

And kind of like taking care of things. Yeah we want to show.

40:42

But it's definitely like a mixture of. Like what? Like the old what 80s Black Panther.

40:47

Right. With the cape. But yeah. With something that looks a little more flashy and modernist.

40:51

So I really like how they're keeping that culture, still into this Black Panther.

40:56

But it looks great. It looks great to me. I mean, I like it.

40:59

But it's it does have some old school vibes.

41:01

Maybe even, like, maybe it's maybe it's not too tall. Maybe it's too Shaka.

41:04

Maybe it's like the dad in this time travel stuff.

41:07

See, I shot that too. But I didn't think they'd go that far.

41:09

But yeah. And since I don't think. They would, I that's.

41:12

But because the cloak is so different.

41:14

Yeah. Than our normal one, that does not look like vibranium.

41:17

Like that nanotech fiber. Anything they do that looks like he puts that cloak on.

41:21

Yeah, yeah. Not that I'm, like, fully checking them out, but even,

41:24

like, crotch hair, you know what I'm saying? It doesn't look very vibranium, like, Skin tone, is it?

41:28

Yeah. Great point. So and then I,

41:34

I don't recognize the statue behind him as seen that already in Wakanda.

41:38

So this could be a multiversus version. This could be a, like.

41:41

Because, again, we're going to be smashing all these worlds together. Like, obviously

41:44

Battle World is a very chaotic place, and there's multiple worlds

41:46

that are coming together. So there could be a different one, but that might be how we get our new T'Challa.

41:51

And it might it might not necessarily use the kid necessarily.

41:53

Kind of looks like a Power Rangers, like Megazord or something, you know, if you.

41:58

Ride that, if you get to that damn thing, if we see him do

42:01

Morphin time, I'm not going to hate it.

42:03

Yeah, I would be. I wouldn't be mad either.

42:06

But when we see the, Panther run,

42:09

it has to look like the little tiny, like, toy, like robots that they did.

42:12

Yeah, no Power Rangers. So, like, janky, like the legs just move. It's.

42:16

Oh, that's like, it goes from like this, like amazing multimillion dollar CGI

42:19

to that. Turned.

42:22

Out to be great.

42:24

So many cool things, guys. Let us know what you guys thought about these leaks.

42:27

Clearly that dudes fired or whomever. That's crazy.

42:30

Yeah, like, back up your files. I don't know, you got hacked, I feel.

42:33

Yeah, but still, like, you're so fired. Man.

42:36

I just want to say that. Dude, man, it's so sexy.

42:38

I think just like sitting there on the. On the chair.

42:40

Perfect. Wow. That's what's crazy, is it's freaking perfect.

42:43

Yeah. So, yeah, let's go ahead and start doing some of our reviews.

42:54

So we're going to be reviewing Daredevil after this.

42:57

It's going to be recorded later on with Thomas. So keep that in mind.

43:00

But let's first get into some video game reviews.

43:02

And I want to start with monster Hunter. You've been playing monster on a wild.

43:06

How is it how long you've been playing it? What are your thoughts?

43:09

Okay. So how long? Let's see.

43:12

I'm a couple hours in a couple monsters deal with the story.

43:15

And, man, I am just having a blast with this game.

43:20

It's so. And I think it's just like the the simplicity of the game, really, where it just feels like, almost like,

43:26

shadow of Colossus, old game where it's just like.

43:29

God, I swear. Really?

43:32

Because there's nothing to it. You just go look for the monster, you come back, reap the rewards, and.

43:38

Yeah, do it again. I mean, camping is is basically how it feels to unlock certain monsters.

43:42

To repeat that monster, kill it again.

43:45

Cool, right? It kind of explain. It kind of shows off of how far you've gotten with the campaign.

43:49

And I don't know what the because I'm in that still.

43:51

But that's how you kind of feel like when I'm playing online or multiplayer.

43:55

I could only go up to a certain point of what I've seen.

43:58

So it's kind of nice. And so I don't know, I haven't gotten to the point

44:00

where someone's been past me yet and I've joined their game,

44:03

because I'm very much of like, I just want to experience them myself

44:06

and then play with others that are kind of like on the same pace.

44:09

If I could jump in that, which I'm assuming I can, that grind of,

44:13

killing monsters and reaping the rewards of like, weapons

44:16

and armor and even for your little, yeah, Palico Palkia or whatever.

44:20

Cat like, that's a cat. Yeah. So it's it's just like a World of Warcraft to me.

44:25

And you just grind, grind grain and your rewards and the visually, the way you.

44:30

Do style. Then. Yeah, is so like, man,

44:32

you you're putting the time in when you're looking at somebody the is.

44:35

The combat still hold up because I think that's one of the highlights to a monster Hunter

44:38

game is how fluid the combat is with all the different classes and stuff like that.

44:41

Yeah. And I feel like that's holding up. Yeah. And I think the combat is actually kind of complicated at times.

44:46

It's like a little learning curve to it.

44:48

And that's kind of what I almost like, appreciative of it.

44:51

Certain weapons are the ways of, like,

44:57

if and how you're playing. Right. I'm playing with others that are like super speed,

45:00

like do dual wielding swords, and he's going super fast,

45:03

and I'm the person that likes to start staff with, like, insects.

45:08

And I'm shooting insects together like the sauce to make me more powerful.

45:11

So it really feels like it can bring like, where veterans will come back

45:16

and enjoy it, where newcomers may maybe like,

45:18

hey, this is kind of tough, but the feel of me

45:21

wanting to look up and master that, that weapon class

45:24

or whatever it is and learning is, is rewarding.

45:28

And I've been in kind of like in that curve lately anyway,

45:30

because of, playing like Wukong and Elden Ring, where it's like

45:36

my, play

45:38

of understanding or horror games is satisfying to me now.

45:42

Which I'm not saying this is a hard game, but there's definitely a learning curve

45:47

I want to add to the user character, because some of the the game feels like it

45:51

kind of throws you in like, hey, yeah, press the pause menu for this.

45:55

I'm like, okay. But there's like so many different functions in this.

45:58

Like, you're not like, what do I do here? And I think that's the satisfaction of like going out,

46:02

and finding others that can provide that information.

46:05

You're like, oh, this is cool. This is what I learned.

46:07

Okay. Yeah. So the combat, difficult, but there are some settings

46:11

that people say that can kind of help with that.

46:14

So I'm like, oh yeah, that'll actually like help me out a little bit because I need to be in this.

46:17

You get that? Yeah. Kind of like sharing knowledge and. Yeah.

46:20

Yeah, it makes you want to find new ways to improve.

46:22

Yeah. Because the game for how simple it feels you're going out,

46:26

you're hunting a monster. I like this little I want to say it like chocobo type thing from Final Fantasy.

46:30

Right on. Yeah. Yeah. I feel so nice. It's always.

46:32

You can always put it on auto run. And that's what my favorite thing. Because then I'm, like, looting things.

46:36

You can kind of like, latch on to things that are in the distance

46:38

and hook them and grab them while your chocobo or whatever is running

46:41

and just even like the chase down of a monster, know, like, okay, you go,

46:46

you find it, you beat the shit out of it because it did nothing wrong to you.

46:49

Just kill this thing. But to see that motherfucker like, oh, it's hurt, but it's running away limping.

46:55

It just. Yeah, it's super satisfying to, like,

46:59

have this a massive beast in front of you. You're like.

47:01

That's always been a big highlight. Is it? Cuz, like, it's so daunting, but you're jumping around all over it.

47:05

You're out. Outmaneuvering. It sounds like for you, a lot of you're like putting a lot of dots on it.

47:09

Kind of like smack using over it. Yeah.

47:11

Most definitely. Yeah. It's it's just fun and it makes me want to play some more.

47:16

And it's, it's taken me a, way, a little bit from other games, but not, like, too much.

47:20

But it's just it's just fun.

47:23

It's just the fact that the these, fights can go so long,

47:29

because of, like, you beat the crap out of this monster, right?

47:32

And it does run away, but it's so that's all.

47:35

I don't know how to explain it. It's just fun. The chase. The chase is fun.

47:39

The chase is fun. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Your daughter just walked in on you wearing a freaking eyepatch on.

47:45

What are her thoughts on this?

47:47

What's your thoughts on the matter? Eyepatch. She's woke up so she didn't have any thoughts.

47:53

She's just like, you're weird. That is why. Yeah. Any story?

47:56

Because they're not really much of a story to monster Hunter games.

47:59

So there is a story. There's this lost child from the specific, clan.

48:04

Tribe. What? I guess, that gets pretty much,

48:09

ran off. It's one of those things where it's like, go save yourself

48:11

type thing from this other monster, which looks like,

48:14

be a nice dragon, if I recall. Right. But it's all about, bringing this child back and trying to find this clan.

48:19

Nobody knows about this clan. So the clans are, like, a little mysterious, right?

48:22

When you ask around from, like, other tribes that y'all

48:26

run into, they're like, we don't know what you're talking about type thing.

48:29

It's always like, try to place a specific child back.

48:31

So pretty simple. And

48:35

yeah, that's really all I got so far with the story of how far I am, so.

48:39

And that's fine, because I think the,

48:42

the fun is, like, cool. There's a minor story to it, but I'm here to kill beast.

48:47

I've never played a monster hunter just because I never really

48:50

have been interested in playing him. Yeah, but you're really selling this one.

48:54

There's so many different weapon classes, and that's what changes the game.

48:58

Yeah. It's just so it's just fun.

49:00

And it feels like it's winning. Yeah. Let's go ahead and get a grade for this, then.

49:04

Our score. Yeah. Out of ten. What are your what are your thoughts on monster.

49:06

Yeah. So because of performance issues that's the thing I've scaled down to like

49:10

oh yeah. That's going out there a lot right now. Yeah. I've scaled the down, which I just can't do it anymore

49:15

because it looks like a fucking PlayStation two game to performance mode.

49:19

Only there's like, like, I don't know the terms that you use,

49:23

but here's like, hey, really good graphics, medium and performance

49:26

and I'm a very performance person. But that performance mode, I'm in a world in it just does not look very good.

49:34

So when I go back in, I'm going to change that to like, more of a balance.

49:37

So that's a big deal.

49:40

I'm okay with the locked story, so I'm not going to go for that.

49:43

Because again, I'm having a blast with this game.

49:45

It's just so heavy. Yeah, it's just so fun to, just to repeat them.

49:50

The monsters. And at one point, I stopped story just to kind of get a full set of armor,

49:56

and it almost feels like, oh, now I'm really strong for the story,

50:00

you know, kind of. Yeah. Well, that's always rewarding to know

50:03

when you're like, right, I'm going to do the side quests. And also I'm like, let me get through this shit. Yeah.

50:07

So because of those, I'm going to say eight out of ten.

50:11

That's solid. Yeah. I'm gonna do 8 to 10.

50:13

Yeah. Monster Heights. All right, let's move on to Abaddon.

50:17

Vout is the other game that we're reviewing today, and it is a classic Western RPG.

50:22

Very much Skyrim. First person.

50:25

It is, it is good,

50:29

but it feels like first off, it's lacking in a budget a little bit.

50:32

Not a lot. Okay. But you could tell, like with the cutscenes and stuff I don't like.

50:35

Okay, you guys went with the affordable route, which is fine.

50:40

I think kind of like Skyrim two. Like Skyrim.

50:42

I think I just got so used to it that I don't recognize it anymore, but in a new game, I do recognize it.

50:47

I'm not having fun until I find the weapon I've been wanting to play.

50:50

Okay. Oh, okay. Okay. Well, like in the beginning, when I'm using an ax, I'm just like,

50:54

this is so daunting. It's cheap as skills, clunky.

50:58

But then when I get my bow and arrow. Okay, back to it.

51:00

This feels good. The, world

51:04

itself is very gorgeous, very bright, brighter than expected.

51:07

And I think I think again, it's the story is fascinating.

51:12

I actually like the story a little bit. Yeah.

51:14

This idea of, like, being touched by the gods or whatever,

51:16

and like the fungus definitely like that, which I've toned down a lot of my character.

51:20

Yeah, I did too. But anyway, like when you're playing it, you're like,

51:22

oh, I kind of wish I did a little bit more because now you know the story.

51:25

But at first I'm like, oh, she looks ugly with the fog, but now it's too.

51:29

It's crazy. Yeah, it's a beginning. Like they really should like led to like choose

51:32

to let it grow or I don't know, whatever. So I just have like like underneath my eyes are like chill. But

51:38

But yeah, I think I think the story's good. I think the world is very beautiful.

51:42

I think it is kind of limiting. It puts you more on rails than I would want it to.

51:46

I like to have like a fully explored world lightly open.

51:50

This feels like the more rails and I feel like the combat is is limiting.

51:54

I think it is very much 2010 combat, which isn't terrible,

51:58

but we're in an era now where like Dragon Age Vale God exists

52:01

and monster Hunter world exists, where like there has to be a version of combat

52:05

that's a little bit faster paced. I think. Yeah.

52:07

And more visually appealing to like the comments not visually appealing at all.

52:10

That is just watching numbers go down. And maybe

52:14

that's a difficult thing for it to be a first person, game like this to have.

52:18

Like it's very fast paced combat and some,

52:20

you know, like kind of like your little break point. Yeah, yeah.

52:23

Because like BioShock is stuff like that. Like they can't really get very much faster.

52:25

That's not really what it's designed. Yeah. So that's a very valid point. Yeah.

52:28

I think you're spot on too with the weapon choice

52:30

that you want to actually feel like, okay, this is this is awesome.

52:33

Because my thing was like, I'm gonna be like, I know Harry Potter in this, but.

52:36

Right. So I was waiting for the warning, and I got the book. Yeah.

52:38

And they're like, yeah, you can switch weapons. And then I have like a sword and it's, you know, just in case whatever happens.

52:43

But I choose to rather just like dodge and move around

52:46

and use that one because that's just the playstyle.

52:49

I wanted. So it's definitely more satisfying when you put the time in and you now

52:53

like for myself, have like multiple spells.

52:55

I got more like the mana, I guess you could say.

52:58

So I could start using these things more, more without drinking like these, mana potions.

53:03

And that's fun.

53:06

But yeah, you're right. Like, until you get that, you're kind of just like,

53:09

oh, I'm just swinging, you know, a common sword.

53:13

Which feels clunky when that's not the thing you'd like to do in those games.

53:16

Yeah. To me, it's like it sucks. It forced me to do that one. Like, I think in Skyrim.

53:20

Like it like the first time you go to, you just find somebody who has something and you just take it. Yeah. You're good.

53:24

Do you have that weapon now? Yeah.

53:26

But, I would say like, this definitely feels.

53:29

And, what was that last starfield?

53:32

And I said this to you before, this feels an upgraded, newer version of a Skyrim game.

53:37

It feels the same, looks the same, whatever.

53:40

But at least like this feels like an improvement.

53:43

Feels like it's 20, 24 or 25 whenever.

53:45

Like my. Thing was. I actually really love Starfield.

53:48

Like, no joke. I completed the campaign like, you know, you completely get paid to become.

53:52

Yeah, basically like you start, you know, I think I hit 20, so.

53:57

Wow. 20 like. Recycled.

54:01

Yeah. Damn that to the point. Where I'm, like, walking in, like, you know,

54:04

like there's that one part where, like, you go to the house, you to go.

54:07

I just walk in, pop them in the face like blah blah, blah, blah, boom.

54:09

I was so clean, dude.

54:11

I was like, just walking amongst the stars, owning that.

54:14

You're basically like like Starfield.

54:16

But in the but I recognize it. It is not a Skyrim or Fallout.

54:20

It just it just isn't that kind of like mechanics,

54:24

but it is very unique in that way. But I, I love that game.

54:26

I mean, you. Had like I had like the best ships and all that stuff there.

54:30

Like the how Jordan in that image, how I, I've been to this shit.

54:33

I'm already very much so. Yeah.

54:36

You put a decent amount of time in about.

54:39

What you say. Yeah, but six hours probably.

54:41

Okay. Is this something that you're like, continue to. Oh.

54:47

Maybe down the road? I mean, like, right now I just got too many other things

54:49

to go around, like games to play and stuff. Yeah, yeah.

54:52

Civilization and still haven't touched it. Yeah. Which is nuts. Yeah.

54:54

And like, I'm, I'm still on Marvel Rivals and.

54:57

Yeah, you know, I gotta carry my noob friends.

55:00

Yeah. Marvel rivals,

55:03

not you, but like, oh, man, I was just totally off track.

55:06

But I was playing with Daniel and all his friends, and like,

55:09

I'm like, guys, like I'm in gold or whatever.

55:11

You guys are all bronze. So when you guys win, you gain 3 or 40 points, I gain three.

55:17

Yeah. And then when when we all lose, you guys lose 30 or 40 points.

55:21

I lose 40 points. Yeah. So it's like I'm not moving in the right direction with you guys.

55:25

So I played with him one night and just just dropped two ranks.

55:28

And like I've been building that back up. Oh, man.

55:30

Yeah. I'll have to start playing by myself a little bit to catch up to where you're at.

55:33

I think and I hate to say, because I really.

55:36

It was enjoying your found. Yeah. Monster hunter, man, it's just so fun, like, I, I want you there with me.

55:42

That's all I'm saying. Like, I will. Say, what? Dragon Age Vale, GA.

55:45

Which I'm still playing right now. So I'm doing like every side quest in that game, doing every side quest.

55:50

It's because I love the combat so much.

55:52

It is a blast to play. Yeah. So then when you go from that, that fast paced combat to avowed,

55:57

not that advanced combat is bad for what it is. It just feels archaic and slow compared to a game like that.

56:03

It's hard to go back and forth like that. That's just not. Which is a.

56:05

Crazy shame, because Starfield is the reason why I bought an Xbox.

56:08

And then I was really getting super excited for and it was,

56:12

you know, the same feel of the game. Right.

56:14

What's it, what is it?

56:18

I know that I get a little sidetracked from the review, but what's it going

56:21

to take for Xbox to be like, this is the banger.

56:24

You know? Well, I think I think they're getting there.

56:27

They just going to keep releasing titles. Yeah, yeah, I think they just got to be released.

56:30

Like we got wait right there to buy gears pretty soon and.

56:32

Yeah. What is it that there, there are developing something.

56:36

I forgot what it does, but I was like, oh, that is a missing corner that they don't have.

56:39

It was a from soft like game shoot.

56:42

I can't remember what it is. But they're put it.

56:44

Oh Ninja Gaiden I thought like Ninja Gaiden if they were to kind of like lean

56:47

in on the from software side of things, that's a missing corner for them.

56:51

Yeah. So I think I think Xbox is gonna get there.

56:53

Did they stumble? Yes. And it landed on their face.

56:56

But they're getting there. And I'm an Xbox guy, so I kind of have faith in the many ways, I'm proud of.

57:02

I'm so happy with my Xbox purchase. Yeah, but I mean, there ain't no doubt the PlayStation one, that's

57:06

this console war. Yeah. And now I'm. I'm happy with it, too.

57:09

I mean, I again, I do enjoy the value.

57:11

I did enjoy my time playing Starfield.

57:15

Yeah. But it just seems like every time is something that's released like a vault.

57:19

It didn't do like the great. It's already but, again, that whatever, I enjoy it.

57:25

Well, so what what's your what's your kind of like, kind of thought on this?

57:29

Yeah. Just real quick on that. What I think I'm seeing out of Xbox more than PlayStation.

57:34

And it's a lot of that game pass. Is there? Like, it's okay

57:36

if it doesn't hit really good, like when it first comes out, because we're building this insane library.

57:41

So like that's a great point with like, I'll get I'll go back to finish

57:44

playing Valhalla whenever I want to on the Xbox,

57:47

which doesn't feel like that way with PlayStation.

57:49

I think with like, God of War. When that came up, the sequel.

57:51

Yeah, I was like, I got to play it and finish it right away because of course I'm going to.

57:55

But then it's like, okay, PlayStation goes away until I play the next big game that comes out.

57:59

I don't think I'm ready. Visiting older titles on the PlayStation like I do on the Xbox,

58:03

that might be something that they can lean in. That's a good thought, and I like that you're saying

58:06

they're building this library, right? Because right now I can already think of games that I would play on Xbox.

58:10

I mean, we just had Starfield about in Indiana Jones.

58:13

Right? So yeah, that list is growing.

58:16

I guess it's just not hitting that,

58:19

spectacular like everybody's talking about type thing right now.

58:23

Yeah. Not the. Blockbusters. Yeah. That we're getting out of I got Sony.

58:26

Yeah. Okay. So my score for avowed is,

58:30

I would say a strong six or week seven.

58:33

I'll stick with a week seven right now.

58:36

Yeah. Where are you? I was literally going to say a seven.

58:38

Yeah. Yeah yeah yeah. Because I'm enjoying it. I mean I mean I'm having a blast and I'm playing like whatever. But

58:44

you know, it just feels like the older, older games really.

58:48

Yeah. And I'll go back to it because I mean I can't tell you I

58:51

Skyrim over and over again. So I'll definitely go back to it.

58:53

Yeah I, I keep hearing rumors. I know that there are working on it's

58:56

oblivion like there's a company working on that, but they're also thinking

58:59

about remaking oblivion. Oh God. Take my money so fast. I love that.

59:04

And that's that combat. I mean, it is literally about you can't miss it. Yeah.

59:07

So I definitely think it's going to be. And I have some friends

59:11

like Scott's a good example where they are such big Bethesda fans.

59:14

I'm going to tell them like go play about obsidian.

59:16

And we all know it's a good company we know of. I was going to get the support deserves.

59:19

So yeah, I'm looking forward to playing it someday.

59:22

I won't be pursuing any more of it.

59:25

But right now. Yeah, yeah. Well that's that's our reviews for the games, guys.

59:29

Let's head into our Daredevil review with Thomas.

59:38

All right. We are now here with Thomas. We're here. We're talking about Daredevil born again.

59:42

What is your initial impressions from the first episode?

59:45

Oh, baby. Baby knocked it out of the park.

59:48

We are so back. And I didn't think, But Marvel was dead by any means.

59:52

But we are so back, do I.

59:55

And I wasn't sure if, like, the MCU.

59:57

I mean, I know, like technically the old Daredevil was part of the MCU as well,

1:00:00

but I wasn't sure if it would fit quite well on Disney Plus and stuff.

1:00:03

And I think they showed us that,

1:00:05

oh no, we're here and we're going to go for a full R-rated.

1:00:07

We're going to give you that Law and Order vibes you get from, like, the Matt Murdock side of things.

1:00:12

There's plenty of Daredevil in it. And I, I there are definitely some things I want to bring up about, like editing.

1:00:17

Like there's clearly like shots that were done afterwards.

1:00:19

And I do feel a little bit out of place, but I think those shots are the things I'm most remembering now.

1:00:25

So it was a good move that Bob Iger came in.

1:00:27

I was like, no, no, no, no, no, you got to fix this.

1:00:30

I think it worked out well if I was the one. Yeah yeah yeah. Right.

1:00:33

I mean because how many times was this show rewritten and like redone.

1:00:37

Right. Like at first he really wasn't wearing the suit.

1:00:40

Also Foggy and Karen were in there, although, you know,

1:00:44

we'll talk more about foggy and carry it in a little bit, but,

1:00:48

yeah, I think it was the right move

1:00:50

to kind of start off with that because it had been really confusing,

1:00:52

if you remember, from season three, the ending, they're all together.

1:00:56

They're sitting around the table, they're all having drinks.

1:00:58

He writes in, you know, Nelson, Murdock and Page.

1:01:01

So, you know, if you didn't start that way, you'd be pretty confused.

1:01:05

I think if you had just watched the following.

1:01:08

Yeah. Just to start real quick, we're going to be spoiler free on this.

1:01:11

But if you guys want the spoiler filled version, we're going to be also covering every episode on Challenge Accepted.

1:01:15

So join us over there right now. Link in the description.

1:01:18

But that's where you get the spoiler filled one. So for spoiler free.

1:01:22

Yeah, I think that the foggy and page stuff were definitely filmed later.

1:01:25

We know that for a fact. It feels that way too, but it's so rewarding in the episode.

1:01:30

And if they weren't added, we would be definitely talking about where are they?

1:01:35

Right? 100%. I mean, I'm trying to think of what Jerry's

1:01:38

I mean, it was like Captain America.

1:01:40

It was completely a Captain America movie,

1:01:42

but everybody was still like, Where's Hulk? Where's Bruce Banner?

1:01:46

You know, it's like we I don't think we need it.

1:01:48

It's still what it it be cool. Yeah, sure. But I don't think we needed him.

1:01:51

But still, that was the question that was going around everywhere.

1:01:54

And for sure that would have happened here.

1:01:56

It would have made no, no sense unless they really had to explain.

1:02:00

Like that was such a dick. He drove them off.

1:02:03

You're like, yeah, that wouldn't have really made sense.

1:02:05

Then I really wouldn't have put a good feeling in us as the viewers

1:02:09

watching this new series of Matt Murdock and where he goes with Daredevil.

1:02:14

So I really, I really liked it.

1:02:16

I think the they got the vibe right in this.

1:02:18

To your point, the violence is is up there is brutal.

1:02:22

Hell yeah. We got some John Wick level damage going on.

1:02:26

And, Matt, Matt is taking a licking

1:02:29

is still one of the toughest dudes in all of Marvel.

1:02:32

As like, normal ish human doesn't really have super strength.

1:02:37

Man, that guy can take a beat down that rough.

1:02:42

I know there is a period where I was like,

1:02:44

I don't think the nurse is part of the season, but he needs a nurse.

1:02:47

Yeah, yeah.

1:02:49

Yeah, he needs the nightmares for sure. Nightmares? Yeah.

1:02:51

I'm sitting here racking my brain. Try to think of the damn name. Yeah.

1:02:54

So in the first episode, I feel like the first episode's pace was pretty quick.

1:02:58

Why is it that it needed to be kind of, like set up this is Born Again,

1:03:02

not just Daredevil. We go from, setting up a plan

1:03:07

to executing that plan by the end of that episode.

1:03:09

It's something that you would think would take all season.

1:03:11

It was in one episode. And Loki. Yeah, I do too.

1:03:15

And I think the connective tissue between episode one and episode two is that

1:03:19

and this is not spoiler, but I'll just say in the beginning

1:03:22

they're both like, hey, we're not Daredevil, we're not kingpin anymore.

1:03:26

And by the end of season two years to like, bullshit,

1:03:29

you guys are both still Kingpin and Daredevil and you're

1:03:32

you're trying to steer away from that, but it's still there.

1:03:35

Yeah, it's like it's too much a part of who they are.

1:03:38

You know? It's like Batman is still too much a part of Bruce Wayne.

1:03:41

Yeah. But yes, I love that they didn't kind of tiptoe around it.

1:03:46

Right. Like we got right into, you know, is this May or not?

1:03:50

We saw it in the trailers, and, you know, I love it.

1:03:53

There's a perfectly good explanation for how he gets there.

1:03:56

There it is. Well established. He gets it right off the bat.

1:04:00

I think there's even a wink and a nod to echo,

1:04:02

which again, I will not be an echo apologist.

1:04:05

I like a lot of that show. I still think it's pretty good.

1:04:09

And they they give the weekend the diner scene and I'm like, all right.

1:04:12

Hell yeah. And it kind of works in that conversation, too.

1:04:16

I mean, I think it really, really does.

1:04:18

And so it was nice the pace that they moved, but

1:04:21

still, you know, these weren't short episodes either.

1:04:24

I thought maybe, you know, we're getting a short season.

1:04:26

We used to get like 12 episodes or even 13, I think for The Defenders saga

1:04:31

when it was back on Netflix. And so, you know, we're only getting nine now,

1:04:35

but they still made it an hour and they filled that hour.

1:04:39

I will say the second episode feels like what actually what they intended.

1:04:43

Because if you think of the second episode plus 15 minutes, the first 15 minutes,

1:04:46

there was definitely reshoots. They're like, oh, okay.

1:04:49

So the hours, because they added 15 minutes to a normal episode.

1:04:52

So I think there's something there too, because if you look at that first 15 minutes, I've seen that multiple times.

1:04:57

Guys are telling you seriously at first, 15 minutes of this new series,

1:05:01

it might be some of the best things that Marvel's ever done.

1:05:03

It's so tightly shot, rapid paced, it's

1:05:07

and it's the most Daredevil I've seen devil devil be in live action.

1:05:11

But that being said, yeah, after that, I think we get to what they wanted.

1:05:15

And like, I think the intro again, avoiding spoilers, but in the courtroom scene,

1:05:19

I think was kind of meant to be the intro to this being like,

1:05:21

oh wait, I know that name. And it kind of unfolds there.

1:05:25

Yeah, the first 50 minutes is interesting because

1:05:30

it is an MCU ish

1:05:32

daredevil, and in some ways too,

1:05:34

this is the most acrobatic we've seen him.

1:05:37

And you know, you know, I love me some acrobatics.

1:05:39

Like, this is the reason why everybody loves Spider-Man swinging around.

1:05:42

He's flip it. He's like effortless. Well, it's it's that.

1:05:46

But not like he he feels not super strength.

1:05:50

He feels like he's still bound by the rules of gravity.

1:05:53

Like he's not Spider-Man who could, like, jump off a building 50ft?

1:05:58

Yeah. You know, like he's swinging around.

1:06:00

He's doing some really cool stuff, but he still seems human in some ways.

1:06:04

And, I love any type of traversal.

1:06:07

See, because you at the end of, like, Spider-Man No Way Home when he gets the classic suit and he's, like, running in the snow

1:06:12

and just jumping over the building and stuff like, it's so dope.

1:06:15

We get some of that right off the bat and we see how,

1:06:18

Daredevil is able to kind of traverse the skyline of New York and, let's get.

1:06:22

Yes. And it's smart, too.

1:06:24

They kind of line it up in a way where it allows for a big, bad

1:06:28

to kind of get in there and f sub s up.

1:06:33

Yeah. And some of the stylistic

1:06:37

shots aspects of shooting we had like when he here's something

1:06:42

which we don't have it in the later episodes when it happens again,

1:06:45

but I think like, okay, this is a thing that they're going to implement for future

1:06:48

aspects of him. They change the aspect ratio of the camera when he's hearing something just, yeah.

1:06:52

Which literally is like, oh, he sees more than us.

1:06:56

And like Daredevil.

1:06:58

Well. Yeah, I loved it. I literally had to redo it.

1:07:01

Christina was really watching. My wife wasn't really watching with me, but I was like, watch this, watch this.

1:07:05

Yeah. And not only that, I looked at it is like he was kind of tuning it in, like, almost like a scope.

1:07:10

He was trying to scope it in. So like the, the, the mirror or the, the aspect ratio comes down,

1:07:15

gets fine tuned to the set. The section he's really trying to listen to.

1:07:19

I was like, damn, that is such.

1:07:22

Because it's always down and then it widens up.

1:07:24

I thought. No, no, no, no, it goes wide to

1:07:28

I don't know, skinnier with the black bars.

1:07:30

When he tunes into, foggy outside and he's trying to pinpoint the sound.

1:07:35

Right. You start hearing the radio, he starts doing car noises,

1:07:38

and he's able to kind of find the range.

1:07:40

And then it's like at its lowest. And then once he kind of snaps out of it, the screen goes back to full.

1:07:45

It was like, wow. And also, not only that, though, it's kind of what they've been doing in

1:07:50

in severance. There's kind of a dolly zoom to it. Yeah.

1:07:52

And there's almost like a fishbowl. Look, the elevator scenes. Yeah, exactly.

1:07:56

Yeah, yeah. I was like, damn, that's so cool.

1:07:59

I give tons of credit to them too in this show already.

1:08:03

Like, the score has been phenomenal. We just finished John Williams Month on Challenge Accepted.

1:08:08

So I'm very attuned to scores right now. They're killing it with the music, even updating the intro song a little bit.

1:08:14

But and that's sick. And then the the just the noise.

1:08:17

So we can kind of understand what he's listening to

1:08:20

and how much information he has taken and how he kind of tunes things out.

1:08:24

I thought that was so sick. You can just be giving us information the same way he would receive it.

1:08:28

Like there are scenes when he's following a guy,

1:08:30

and the sounds that you're hearing is like a muffled New York,

1:08:33

but a louder footstep. And it's like, that's how he hears it.

1:08:36

And then what I really like is the end of episode one.

1:08:38

It's a very chaotic New York, for I don't want to spoil why, but you do.

1:08:42

It's crazy. And it's it's such a colony of noise

1:08:47

that you're like, oh, he can't fine tune anything right now.

1:08:50

It's all chaos. Even see him, like, just like, fold up his walking stick.

1:08:54

Like I'm not even going to pretend anymore. I'm just. I got to get home,

1:08:57

and it's like New York's kind of like, falling apart around him.

1:09:00

And it's. It's the way it sounds like it's all the same level as in, like,

1:09:03

I can't tune into any of this right now because it's just chaos.

1:09:06

It broke loose. Yeah. Noise like you're annoying.

1:09:09

Yeah, I love it. Man. Yeah.

1:09:11

I want to talk about some of the last shots in that.

1:09:13

But yeah, I think people tend to hop over to challenge accepted to, to get

1:09:17

get to do it. But seeing them back together, I mean, there is

1:09:20

something just truly magnetic about it, right?

1:09:24

It's Christian Bale and Heath ledger.

1:09:26

It's Christopher Reeves and Gene Hackman.

1:09:29

I mean, it's like there's this good and evil aspect to them

1:09:33

that they're just so those characters, and every time they're on screen, it's just,

1:09:37

you know, an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object.

1:09:41

They're just so. Good. I ended up throwing up on threads because I was watching.

1:09:43

I was like, it's like they're they take up the all the camera whenever they on every scene.

1:09:47

So there together, it's like one of them

1:09:49

trying to push the other one out of the scene for some reason. Like it's just

1:09:52

they're constantly grinding on each other and it's they're just too magnetic.

1:09:56

They're just such amazing characters. And, well, Charlie Cox got us up to see him back.

1:10:01

And, yeah, yeah, he's awesome.

1:10:03

He has the full range of emotions and,

1:10:06

yeah, he's like, charming in this.

1:10:09

He's angry. This is, you know, happy. He's mad.

1:10:14

I just everything he has that whole bag and, he kills it in it.

1:10:19

I love I love his Charlie. Wow. I almost want to see the last name because that have been weird

1:10:23

to say I love. And then finished with his last name, so.

1:10:25

And I'll leave. It out to. I'll make it fit.

1:10:27

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I can to it that.

1:10:30

Let's get a score out of ten for you then out of this.

1:10:33

The first one to. Go with a strong four and a half out of five is that we're doing our ten.

1:10:38

Ten for Geek Fix. You do that for. So that's how you're right.

1:10:41

I'm gonna go, then we go another ten.

1:10:44

Yeah, I does it. I'm a real strong eight. Almost a nine.

1:10:47

I think some of the obvious shifts from pre shot and post shots I like that

1:10:53

like yeah that can be smoothed out and stuff like that.

1:10:55

But it's such a good start and a first 15 to that second episode

1:11:00

with a second episode like okay, this is what they make the show to be,

1:11:03

you know, that you have to recognize that basically.

1:11:05

So I'm giving you a solid eight, but I cannot wait for next week.

1:11:08

Yeah, I'm going to go with you there too. I'm gonna go eight out of ten.

1:11:11

You're right. Because yeah, there is a little bit of it's not a drop off by any means,

1:11:16

but there's like a change of eight in the second episode, you know, like, there's.

1:11:20

Yeah, a change of vibe. So. Yeah.

1:11:22

Yeah, they're really good, but it's like a high eight of them.

1:11:26

Yeah. All right, guys, for the full spoiler breakdown, head

1:11:28

over to charges of the Right now links in the description.

1:11:31

All right. Let's head back to our normal game fix.

1:11:37

All right. That was our review for Daredevil.

1:11:39

Now we have our interview with teams of anime plus brand new podcast and the Geek Fix Network.

1:11:45

They discuss all the news in anime, and then they also break down

1:11:49

different hard hitting topics in the industry of anime.

1:11:52

I want to introduce you to a Ray and Owen two of our new hosts in the network.

1:11:57

You're going to hear them on Google Pixel here and there as well.

1:11:59

So, let's hear more from Array and Owen.

1:12:02

And today we have a brand new podcast joining the network. I can't wait to share with you guys. It's called Anime Plus.

1:12:07

Here are the hosts. What we're going to be doing today is going over the industry of anime.

1:12:10

I know it's a real weak spot for me.

1:12:13

I'm sitting there, I'm still watching Brotherhood,

1:12:15

alchemists and stuff like that, some of the older stuff.

1:12:17

So I'm not at today I'm going to do stuff, introduce yourselves,

1:12:20

and more importantly, tell us about Anime Plus.

1:12:23

Yeah, sure. Some area I'm one half of the Android Plus podcast.

1:12:27

So a little bit about the podcast is we mostly focus

1:12:30

about anime and other stuff in the industry.

1:12:32

So we do manga, we do sometimes live actions,

1:12:36

we like to go over everything, even though anime so broad.

1:12:39

So it could be anything from like, cosplaying.

1:12:43

It could be like voice actors. We actually had one come on to one of our episodes not too long ago

1:12:48

and other cool stuff like that. But yeah, that's just a little bit about the podcast.

1:12:52

And then we cover news too. That's like our other side of things. Yeah.

1:12:56

Okay. I'll introduce myself really quickly.

1:12:59

My name is Owen and the other half of the Anime Plus podcast.

1:13:02

Just to, you know, piggyback off of what Arya was saying,

1:13:07

we are we cover everything anime.

1:13:09

So we have two segments. One is kind of a personal segment where, we'll go over articles,

1:13:15

we give our opinions on anime,

1:13:18

kind of let you guys know what we're going to watch in the new seasons

1:13:22

and, just give it insight on our opinions on anime in general.

1:13:26

And then the second part, a segment there would be, the new segment.

1:13:31

One thing I kind of want to add here is, we do

1:13:34

take two perspectives in terms of the way, we view anime.

1:13:38

I would say air is kind of he he knows more about anime,

1:13:43

he watches more anime, he knows more about manga.

1:13:46

So he comes from a bit more of the like, like facts.

1:13:52

Details and insider info, stuff like that.

1:13:54

Yeah, exactly. And then I come from the more casual

1:14:00

kind of aspect where like, honestly, I don't do too much research.

1:14:04

I for the first couple of years of me

1:14:08

watching anime, all I was watching was show.

1:14:10

Then I was even. Yeah, I was even going into any of the izakaya

1:14:15

or slice of life, or I was literally just fights, fights, fights.

1:14:18

So then kind of era opened my eyes to so much more,

1:14:23

in terms of anime and I, I take that approach where

1:14:27

I feel like a lot of our, a lot of our audience,

1:14:29

you know, some of them like, they they're just like me

1:14:32

where they don't know too much and they're trying to understand more.

1:14:35

And then some are like, hey, where they know a lot

1:14:38

and they're just trying to get more of that, you know, high level information.

1:14:43

But yeah, that's that's kind of what we're doing at my place.

1:14:45

And then last thing I do want to add to that is we our whole goal

1:14:49

at the end of the day is to build the biggest anime community ever.

1:14:53

So yeah, definitely, you know, join the discord channel.

1:14:57

Follow us on Instagram, follow socials.

1:15:00

We try interacting with with everyone and our whole goal,

1:15:04

in for our discord is to connect like minded people.

1:15:08

It doesn't matter. We'll walk of life. You come from, as long as anime and manga is that central point,

1:15:14

we we could all, you know, kind of chill and vibe together.

1:15:18

Your guys's discord is fire. I got to say.

1:15:20

Holy cow, y'all got a community over there.

1:15:22

It's awesome. Love it I appreciate that.

1:15:25

Yeah, a lot of a lot of our guys, they they've been there for a while now

1:15:29

and yeah, they're they're pretty much our homies.

1:15:32

Yeah. Yeah. You guys have been recording since 2021.

1:15:35

Correct. Yeah. Yeah. At the end of 20.

1:15:38

Yeah. Yeah. Over that time, you know.

1:15:41

Oh and have you learned anything from.

1:15:43

All right. It's kind of like changed your perspective on an anime.

1:15:46

He's an insider. He's got the little cuts that you don't know about.

1:15:49

Have you embraced some new things because of that?

1:15:52

Yeah, 100%. So I was the

1:15:54

type to just never first of all, I never knew

1:15:58

dates like, okay, this is coming out this time, this this time.

1:16:01

Like I never knew the dates of anything.

1:16:03

Also, I just like

1:16:06

I would, I would only get my information from like Instagram or TikTok.

1:16:11

Right. So that was the only type of information I was getting.

1:16:14

And it was, it was it would always be like six months late.

1:16:16

And I'm seeing this like you and me. I'm just going ahead and watching it.

1:16:20

And then it was also again, never watching like other genres.

1:16:25

So ever, ever since starting anime

1:16:29

plus like I've saw like I've started watching sports.

1:16:33

Anyways, just like I never watch sports anime.

1:16:38

I barely watch sports to begin with, and I'm watching, like, sports anyway.

1:16:43

I watch like a couple romance, even though that's kind of not my thing.

1:16:47

They're like slice of life, like, I like, I've started getting into a lot of these,

1:16:52

other genres where it's not always fighting adventure

1:16:57

and stuff like that, where it's more like, you know, chilled out.

1:17:00

And there's other aspects. There's other aspects, anime to just just fighting it, innovation and adventure.

1:17:07

And that was kind of like the only thing I was introduced to.

1:17:10

But since, you know, now it's now we do the podcast, we I get

1:17:14

I get the news every week and it's like,

1:17:18

it's as if I'm a, I'm, I'm like a viewer of the, of the show

1:17:22

because I'm getting all this information, firsthand on the show pretty much.

1:17:27

Yeah. It's such a fun dynamic, though. Is there anything

1:17:29

that you want to share to somebody who's not very familiar with anime?

1:17:33

And then also, what is it that you find like

1:17:36

the real hardcore anime fans want to talk about the most?

1:17:39

All right. So what I would say to the first part of that is,

1:17:43

firstly, there's a spot for everyone in anime.

1:17:46

Like whether you're like like we'll call them casual mainstream watchers.

1:17:50

Like, yeah, that would be like shown in.

1:17:53

Right here.

1:17:55

That, you know, there's my oh, Demon Slayer.

1:17:57

Those are like the biggest ones, you know what I mean? Like, every so good. Yeah.

1:18:01

Those are those are like the main ones. Like, you can be still in the community even if you watch just that.

1:18:07

But then like we talked about earlier, like, there's,

1:18:10

like, hardcore fans and I don't even say I'm part of that.

1:18:12

There's people that do a deep dive.

1:18:14

They go into the like everything like from the animation studio to like

1:18:19

watching it every season, every single seasonal anime they drops.

1:18:23

So the way anime works is like they have different seasons,

1:18:26

so like it'll air like 12, 13 episodes and then that season's over

1:18:30

and new one starts, well, maybe like 40 to 50.

1:18:32

They come on every single season. There are people that watch every single anime that season.

1:18:36

So that's like what I consider a hardcore.

1:18:39

You can beat that. Or you could just like, I know I talked about this before,

1:18:43

in one of our earlier reports, we went to a, he went to a convention

1:18:47

and there were people that were just cosplaying and they've never even watched the series, so you could even. Wow.

1:18:52

Not even, you know, even like, you don't even have to be an anime fan.

1:18:56

You can just like the series or that particular character.

1:18:59

So that's that's my answer. The first part.

1:19:02

It's funny you mentioned that because now I'm thinking about it. Yeah, anime has such a cool art style

1:19:05

that you might just vibe with the way somebody looks

1:19:07

and then want to portray them, and without actually knowing all the details.

1:19:10

That makes sense with anime specifically.

1:19:12

Yeah. So going into your guys's podcast Anime Plus in 2021.

1:19:18

What what was the. Decision to start a podcast about anime?

1:19:22

Okay, I'll let you, Ray, take take over the first part

1:19:25

because he's actually the guy that started it all.

1:19:27

Yeah. So I'll let you take the first part of this.

1:19:31

Yeah. So I'm sure a lot of people coming off Covid didn't really have anything to do.

1:19:35

I think I started up like two different podcasts

1:19:38

with some of my other friends, and we were doing like, basketball.

1:19:41

At the time, I had zero experience with podcasting, didn't know anything.

1:19:45

You had like 6 or 7 people on it, and we're just

1:19:48

all kind of talking over each other. Oh, good. And yeah, it was terrible.

1:19:54

So then one day hit up on, I'm like, dude, we should do an anime podcast.

1:19:57

Because, you know, we talked about this before.

1:19:59

We don't. But like our we call it like our origin story.

1:20:02

We both went to, like, a boarding school and the first question to ask them was,

1:20:06

you know, do you watch your own vs. And he said, yeah.

1:20:09

So then that's how we kind of started talking to anime.

1:20:12

So he was the first person I thought of like that

1:20:14

I got to start an anime podcast with. So we had zero insight or like any idea where I was going to go.

1:20:20

We just wanted to start. So that's kind of how I started off.

1:20:23

I was going to say like, I'll say it from my perspective

1:20:26

and just to like the

1:20:29

whole boarding school situation, I'll go a little bit deeper into that.

1:20:33

So, he's already he's already been there

1:20:37

for like a year or two, at the school.

1:20:40

I'm coming in. I'm, I'm I'm the fresh guy.

1:20:43

I'm the new guy coming into the school.

1:20:45

And then, I got in to to his class.

1:20:49

Right. And I have no friends at this point.

1:20:52

I don't know anybody. And I don't know, out of nowhere, one of the first conversations we ever had

1:20:59

was about One piece, for some reason,

1:21:02

like, I'm the biggest One Piece fan ever.

1:21:05

And then as soon as I knew that

1:21:08

he walked one piece, he knew I watched one piece.

1:21:11

It was locked him. It was locked in from there.

1:21:13

Like, and I appreciate that so much because when you go to a new school,

1:21:18

meeting new people, sometimes it's difficult to meet new people. And

1:21:23

Aira was connected with pretty much everybody in the school.

1:21:26

And then once I was once we were voices

1:21:29

from one Piece that was, it was it was a good time.

1:21:32

From there. And that just goes to show you, like anyway,

1:21:36

1010 cause such a great friendship.

1:21:40

Yeah. Out of nowhere, like, literally out of nowhere.

1:21:43

I knew nothing about him. I the only thing I knew about this guy.

1:21:47

Let's. He watches one piece and boom, he was like, one of my best friends.

1:21:50

So what that tells you is he's into commitment.

1:21:53

Because that is not a short show to get into.

1:21:56

Man and adventure for sure. Yeah.

1:21:59

So you guys start this podcast, you start talking about anime,

1:22:01

you start building this community. Over the years we talked about like, what shows like,

1:22:07

like one has embraced because of it.

1:22:09

But what are some of the things you learned from podcasting

1:22:12

that you guys have picked up over the years?

1:22:15

Opinions. People have strong opinions on?

1:22:17

Oh, I bet, I bet I love One Piece.

1:22:21

I have strong opinions on One Piece. I talk about one piece all the time, and then, that's part of like a little,

1:22:28

a little trope of ours in our, in our like community.

1:22:32

Is that, like, I'm addicted to one piece, but I do have very strong opinions

1:22:36

on other anime. I don't know, like like for example, for me,

1:22:41

Demon Slayer like

1:22:44

I don't shit on Divas there, but like, I love the animation, but

1:22:47

I just don't like the storyline that much, and I, I just also don't like that.

1:22:52

Tanjiro himself like,

1:22:56

what happens in normal Shonen is that the character keeps getting stronger

1:23:00

and then they versus Toshiro or not Toshiro or the demons.

1:23:05

Right? But in Demon Slayer, it's like he always needs help to beat the next person.

1:23:11

That's something I don't mess with or I don't vibe with.

1:23:14

And then I always, you know, vocalize that people

1:23:17

are always on my hands like that.

1:23:20

Fullmetal Alchemist is another one where, I mean, honestly, I,

1:23:24

I watched that when I was a bit younger, so I think I should rewatch it,

1:23:28

and I always, I always try giving a fair opinion.

1:23:31

I always try giving like anime chances, even if I don't like it

1:23:35

in the first episode. You know, a lot of people don't like one piece of the first episode,

1:23:39

and it's totally reasonable. So I always try, you know, giving chances.

1:23:44

But I've learned that people have very strong opinions

1:23:47

and will say whatever the fuck they want.

1:23:49

Yeah, well, that's kind of that's that's kind of where I also like,

1:23:53

I've, I vocalize my opinion as much as possible,

1:23:56

and I've learned so much about what people think about anime,

1:24:00

certain anime, what people think about certain genres, just stuff like that.

1:24:03

Just because of podcasting, which I would have never known before.

1:24:06

Because it's like when you don't speak to a community of people about the subject,

1:24:11

you'll never know, like, well, I'm in. Your own little bubble. Yeah.

1:24:13

And you just kind of bounce around in there. That's exactly.

1:24:16

That's kind of like for me, my bubble was me, my cousins,

1:24:20

some of some of my friends. I watch anime and then Arya and some of the other guys over there,

1:24:25

but that's pretty much it. And then you go out here, you start badmouthing Demon Slayer

1:24:29

and you start finding, oh shit, there's more people in this community.

1:24:31

They're just. People. Yeah, exactly.

1:24:34

Exactly, exactly. Otherwise, like my hero, my.

1:24:37

Honestly, like, I was getting a lot better.

1:24:40

I've got my heroes getting a lot better, but I do get a lot of, like, slander.

1:24:44

Not slander, but slag for it.

1:24:47

I love to. This is what I'm learning from you. Okay?

1:24:49

So definitely, you know, one piece. Everybody loves that.

1:24:51

But you are also kind of just, like, are not into the popular stuff.

1:24:55

You're kind of like the indie guy that's like, nah, man, Britney Spears sucks.

1:24:58

You guys got to check out this one band that's like locally plays in Denver.

1:25:01

Some random thing. That nobody else.

1:25:04

Knows about, and you're just like, no, you guys are all rock.

1:25:07

I think what it is, is I, which is bad.

1:25:10

I base a lot of things on one piece, like it's like, yeah, that's

1:25:13

my like source to base because One Piece is my first anime ever, right.

1:25:18

And for me, because of

1:25:21

because of the way I watched anime, One Piece did not have the best animation.

1:25:25

So I'm someone that doesn't really care about animation too much.

1:25:29

But for me, I really care about

1:25:32

plotline, story, characters, worldbuilding, right?

1:25:35

And some people, some people will literally not watch an anime

1:25:39

if it doesn't have good animation. So that's where, like,

1:25:42

everybody has their own things that they watch out for

1:25:44

when they're watching a show. And I think that

1:25:47

a lot of these newer shows, it's not that they're played out, it's that

1:25:52

they're not as original as the older shows.

1:25:55

And but they do have amazing animation,

1:25:58

amazing, like, graphics, transitions, stuff like that,

1:26:02

which, you know, I love that, but it's not something

1:26:05

I personally look out for as much as the other things per se.

1:26:09

So no. All right.

1:26:11

With Anime Plus, how do you structure your episodes?

1:26:13

I know we have news episodes and discussion episodes going into those.

1:26:16

What do you guys what's your prep like that? And then, and where do you see Anime Plus going into the future?

1:26:21

What are your plans going forward? Yeah. So for our, like the discussion episodes,

1:26:27

I usually try to think of a topic, every once in a while.

1:26:29

I mean, I'll, I'll come up with something, but I usually don't tell anyone anything because it gives that.

1:26:34

Yeah, it gives them like a reaction.

1:26:36

So it'll be like a top list I would be talking about, like,

1:26:40

I don't know, we'll go over a synopsis of new series, stuff like that.

1:26:43

So I try to make it so own as their idea.

1:26:45

Every once in a while I'll give some homework, like it'll help me think of like, you know, so-and-so or whatever.

1:26:49

So that's the episodes that come on on Thursdays, and then Tuesdays

1:26:53

I come up with. So it's a website called Anime News Network.

1:26:56

I grab all the news, pretty much everything, everything on Twitter,

1:26:59

all the major news I can, like, compile it into like one,

1:27:03

like Google Tab, and then we just kind of go through all of that.

1:27:06

So one gets his initial reaction like a brand new reaction.

1:27:10

And my reaction is kind of the, oh, I get I like kind of going off

1:27:14

of his reaction, but also it's like, oh, now I get it, you know what I mean?

1:27:18

So that's kind of the way we compile the episodes.

1:27:21

Well, and the different perspectives, I think helps so much because, yeah, OWN's

1:27:24

coming to this information new While You're the Deep Diver,

1:27:26

but also known is kind of the more mainstream

1:27:30

not to, you know, whatever kind of, you know, and you're the deep diver fan.

1:27:33

So when you guys are interacting with each other, when you're sharing news,

1:27:36

you get his reaction. And then you see, like, that's the reaction from somebody who's just casually watching anime.

1:27:40

So I was a really good dynamic to have.

1:27:43

I really enjoy listening. It's it's a it's a blast to hear you guys talking that kind of like surprise reaction

1:27:47

out of oh, and it's always a blast to hear. That's really cool.

1:27:50

Where's the future of Anime Plus going?

1:27:53

Yeah, so there's so many different things that we want to do.

1:27:56

We want to incorporate our community a little bit more.

1:27:58

Like, we just recently had an episode with one person that joined our, discord, like maybe two years ago.

1:28:04

And having him on as a guest was really fun. We talked about like, what got him into anime.

1:28:08

He's from a different generation than, you know. So there was like so many cool things to talk about.

1:28:12

So that's definitely one thing I want to do. Another thing

1:28:14

that, you know, what we're talking about is so we both got our significant other.

1:28:19

So watch One Piece. So I'll do a rewatch with my wife and he's doing a rewatch with his girl.

1:28:24

So that general reaction is something

1:28:27

that we want to like, portray in a podcast form.

1:28:30

Obviously we're still like workshopping it and there's so many different things

1:28:34

that's some of the things that we want to incorporate within anime.

1:28:37

Plus, thank you very much, Ouray and, Owen, for joining me today.

1:28:41

And again, welcome to the community. I can't wait to keep sharing your guys's show with other people.

1:28:45

And thank you so much for having us. I had a great time on the pod.

1:28:50

Definitely love to do this. You know, ever so frequently,

1:28:53

I feel like having having, a different perspective of it.

1:28:58

I love talking to people that have different perspectives on anime.

1:29:01

And, it was it was amazing. You know,

1:29:04

the questions that you threw at us and the like, everything was, was amazing.

1:29:09

But yeah, I mean, I enjoyed my time here, and I appreciate you inviting us,

1:29:12

you know? Yeah. Yeah. Me too. I really appreciate it.

1:29:57

1:29:59

And then over at Phantom Portals. I just covered The Crow. I've never seen the Crow.

1:30:02

Have you seen the Crow with Brian? No, I actually haven't.

1:30:05

But yeah, yeah, Brandon Lee, I think. Yeah, yeah, I, Because listening to them talk about it, I'm like,

1:30:10

I got to sit down and watch. That because there's a new one coming, right?

1:30:12

I it has. Yeah. It's going out. Yeah I know. There's a new one that came out.

1:30:15

Nobody watched. It is already gone I think. Wow, that's bad because I thought that was really.

1:30:21

Yeah. But the old one, I had never seen it.

1:30:24

I know of it. Hearing them talk about it. I'm a fan of portals.

1:30:27

I kind of tune in on that. So, Yeah, they're they're all coming over the, crew over there.

1:30:31

Let's get into our recommendations for the week. Squeaks, what is your recommendation for the week?

1:30:35

Yeah, I'm gonna, I'm gonna have to definitely go to,

1:30:39

You know what? I'm gonna switch it up. I'll switch up.

1:30:42

I would, I would say monster Hunter, but I'm going to give you a comic book, okay?

1:30:45

I'm gonna give you a go. It's it's it's, I guess fairly well now, I don't know, the year now.

1:30:50

But it's the last Ronin Ninja Turtles, so.

1:30:53

But it's the last year, so it's kind of like the side story of,

1:30:58

before Michelangelo, like, really becomes, like, the last ronin.

1:31:02

Now the turtles are dead still, to start off.

1:31:06

But it's also having, like, an older April,

1:31:09

raising a young group of turtles.

1:31:11

And what I like about this one is, they're branching. There's other last ronin.

1:31:15

Comics that go past the,

1:31:19

the original one with this new group of turtles.

1:31:22

And what I, what I would say, what I like about this one, it's that it's got the

1:31:26

and I think it's the same name. I remember I got to go back to my original comic

1:31:29

of the Yellow Ninja Turtle, the female one.

1:31:32

She is like a young. And in this one, I think, Ginger a jenica and.

1:31:37

Man that came out, that was that was deep.

1:31:39

And I was, I was like, oh, I knew I remember the J.

1:31:42

But yeah. But, yeah, I believe that she's in this, like, group two,

1:31:46

and it's like when they're younger. So, it's pretty neat, but you're getting like a definitely back

1:31:50

story about, like, Michelangelo struggles of him just,

1:31:54

I guess, really, he wasn't eating this out of, of the ghost,

1:31:58

like, kind of surrounded by him. Yeah. And it's a lot more of that.

1:32:01

And so definitely a lot more of like, hey, I'm driving in a car,

1:32:04

but I got these annoying ass voices in my head.

1:32:06

Yeah, it's called the Lost Years. Yeah.

1:32:08

I think I've seen the cover of that. I cannot wait for that video game to come out.

1:32:11

Oh, my gosh, it's gonna be so good.

1:32:13

Like, please give me this Ninja Turtle game.

1:32:17

Good. One of the comic books I pick up here and there, and I just like,

1:32:20

issued by issues called monstrous because the art sounds like so incredible.

1:32:25

So I just, grabbed the trade for the first volume, like, basically, like.

1:32:29

All right, let me go back to issue one and start reading through.

1:32:32

What a world they build. Really cool fantasy world.

1:32:36

Half the world is humans. The other half are basically monsters with a column,

1:32:40

but they're basically like mutants in X-Men. Essentially. Like, like some over deformed.

1:32:44

Some don't look deformed, but they actually are still that blood.

1:32:46

And it's it's a wild, disgusting,

1:32:49

but beautifully done comic book.

1:32:55

Very quickly you meet. Sorry, I'm kind of stumbling, trying to, like, find a way to say this very quickly.

1:32:59

You meet, like, this one lady who's like this noble woman,

1:33:02

and she's eating some of the people that they enslave.

1:33:04

Like it's wild like that. So monstrous.

1:33:06

Guys, it's so gorgeous. It's a beautiful comic book.

1:33:10

Check out volume one. It's one of those books I picked up here and there,

1:33:12

but now I'm actually going through and actually reading the whole story.

1:33:15

I liken it to a fantasy version of saga,

1:33:18

not necessarily in story, but in feel and in pacing.

1:33:21

It's all like that. So you like Saga by Image Comics?

1:33:23

Check out, monsters. I believe it's done by Dark Horse. Crackle.

1:33:27

Check it out. All right, guys, this is a very full episode of Geek

1:33:29

Freaks, obviously, so make sure you guys drop us a review.

1:33:32

You've had plenty of time to do. Like, you're listening to us, but you could do it right now.

1:33:35
