2:40

News. We've got the news.

2:42

X-ray Vision the News. And

2:45

we'll give you the news.

2:47

It's happening from my heart.

2:49

Podcasts. Where we're reading three

2:51

episodes a week every Tuesday,

2:53

Wednesday, Thursday, plus news. In

2:56

today's previously on news episode,

2:58

we are catching up on

3:00

the biggest geek news of

3:02

the week, including some depressing

3:04

news about the FCC. C

3:07

C's investigating Disney for being

3:09

too woke. I don't know

3:11

how else to put it.

3:13

It's ridiculous. And some white

3:16

Lotus drama off screen as

3:18

well as on screen. But

3:20

first, let's talk about all

3:22

the trailers coming out of

3:24

cinema con in Vegas. And

3:27

there's a lot of news

3:29

coming out of cinema. So

3:31

much news. So much news.

3:33

Fans of the 80s. comedy

3:35

franchise starring Leslie Nielsen and

3:38

O.J. Simpson. Oh, sorry. Rejoice.

3:40

We're getting a reboot and

3:42

it's starring Liam Nieson and

3:44

Pam Anderson in the Seth

3:47

MacBarlan produced reboot of the

3:49

Naked Gun franchise. And I

3:51

will say, there is an

3:53

OJ joke in the trailer

3:55

and I found the trailer

3:58

to be, I'm excited. I

4:00

will watch this movie. I

4:02

am not a fan of

4:04

Liam Neeson and his variously

4:06

admitted attempted hate crimes. He

4:09

did attempt to do a

4:11

hate crime. He did attempt

4:13

to do a hate crime,

4:15

but I do love Pamela

4:18

Anderson. I am very interested

4:20

to see her in this

4:22

movie doing some comedic acting.

4:24

I think that they understand

4:26

what makes the naked gun

4:29

work from the look of

4:31

this trailer. Yeah, I'm interested.

4:33

I will see. I'll see

4:35

what happens. I'll see what

4:37

happens. You know I At

4:40

this point I just kind

4:42

of assume that Most folks

4:44

of the Caucasian persuasion of

4:46

a certain age have some

4:49

kind of hidden hate crime

4:51

in their background and you

4:53

know I've just come to

4:55

terms with that New

4:58

Marvel rivals news. Guess what the

5:01

Hellfire gala? The trailer has dropped

5:03

and wow. We got to see

5:05

Emma Frost in action. She will

5:08

be dropped ahead of season two.

5:10

Emma Frost is a tank and

5:13

all of which is tremendously exciting.

5:15

I haven't played Marvel rivals in

5:17

a minute. The thighs are tanking

5:20

folks. She is. If you love

5:22

crocoa, we have a lot of

5:25

crocoa lovers. And the, it's, we're

5:27

getting to see Krakoa, the living

5:29

planet, you're gonna be there for

5:32

the help like Gala, you're seeing

5:34

Wolverine, seeing Scarlet Witch, seeing some

5:36

beautiful outfits. And something that really

5:39

moved a lot of the comic

5:41

creators from the Krakoa era was

5:44

there was a lot of shout-outs

5:46

in the announcement that the Marvel

5:48

rival team did. So there's a

5:51

lot of love for the comics

5:53

here. I was not expecting them

5:55

to go to Kakoa so fast.

5:58

It looks great. It looks great.

6:00

news, more news out of cinema-con.

6:03

Yep, if you can believe it,

6:05

we got... a name reveal for

6:07

the next live action Tom Holland

6:10

Spider-Man movie called Spider-Man brand new

6:12

day. I still can't believe they

6:14

went for it, but you know

6:17

what? We'll talk about that more

6:19

on another episode and some new

6:22

images from beyond the spider verse,

6:24

the highly anticipated sequel and potential

6:26

trilogy ender. And franchise ended depending

6:29

on where it goes next. From

6:31

the studio behind. into the spite

6:33

of us and across the spite

6:36

of us, two very beloved movies,

6:38

and we can't wait to see

6:41

the next one. End a new

6:43

trailer and snippet of the film

6:45

The Thunderbolts and some new footage

6:48

from the Fantastic Four that would

6:50

seem to suggest that Sue Storm

6:52

is pregnant during the days. That

6:55

does seem like what is happening.

6:57

Yeah, also, obviously we will be

7:00

talking more about brand new day,

7:02

something that is very controversial and

7:04

hilarious and is wild to me

7:07

that they chose to name this.

7:09

That, that, it's a, it's a

7:12

huge deal. And yeah, I am

7:14

intrigued to see where this goes.

7:16

Lots and lots and lots and

7:19

lots of big news from there,

7:21

the beyond the spite of our

7:23

stuff, new. look at their version

7:26

of Prowler, this kind of reimagined

7:28

Mars Morales version, looks great, looks

7:31

beautiful, when will it come out?

7:33

I don't know, hopefully before 2030.

7:35

And certainly last but not least,

7:38

probably the biggest news out of

7:40

cinema-con was the new... Superman trailer

7:42

that also got shared on it's

7:45

not even a trailer really it's

7:47

like the first four and a

7:50

half minutes Yeah for four to

7:52

four minutes fifty second clip of

7:54

That expands on the intro you

7:57

have from the trailer where Superman

7:59

crashes earth and then crypto comes

8:01

and saves him and you get

8:04

this really wonderful comedic interplay where

8:06

like crypto is like you know

8:08

bounding on Superman and like get up

8:11

get up get up pushing him with

8:13

the two front paws and Superman

8:15

is like grievously injured is like

8:17

stop doing that we get to

8:19

see the inside of the fortress

8:21

of solitude we see some shots

8:23

of Lex Luthor and some kind

8:26

of a giant monster invading metropolis

8:29

it It got me excited.

8:31

I think this looks

8:33

great. There's some really

8:36

fun moments between

8:38

the, between the

8:40

robots and Superman, where

8:43

they are like, oh, you know,

8:45

thanks for saying thank

8:48

you to us, but we

8:50

don't. understand that because

8:52

we are emotionless droids just here

8:54

to help and then he's like

8:56

and here's the new droid 12

8:59

and Superman looks at her and

9:01

smiles and she's like he looked

9:03

at me there's a lot of

9:05

fun here I love the moment

9:07

where we get to see Superman

9:09

being supercharged by the magnified rays

9:11

of the son. Yeah, Eastern Yellow

9:13

Sunbaby, Barry all-star Superman. Yeah, I

9:15

mean, it looks great. I believe

9:18

if you are going to see

9:20

the Minecraft movie this weekend, it

9:22

will be shown the five minutes

9:24

on big screen before that movie.

9:26

So it's clear to me also that

9:28

that's the first, that's the opening

9:30

of the film, right? That's gonna

9:32

be the opening of the movie. I

9:34

am not sure, but it seems like

9:37

it would be a fantastic opening if

9:39

it were to be. Much like all-star

9:41

Superman, right? He's doing some

9:43

sort of experiment goes wrong.

9:46

He gets thrown down to Earth and

9:48

injured some way. Yeah, maybe the

9:50

giant monster. They hit him with the

9:52

with the yellow sun and

9:55

this superchargers his powers, but also

9:57

maybe he's dying now. Maybe he's

9:59

dying. It's very all-star Superman. spoiler

10:02

alert for that old book

10:04

and maybe this movie that

10:06

comes out in July of

10:08

this year. Next up, Trump's

10:10

FCC commissioner opens investigation into

10:12

the Walt Disney Company and

10:14

ABC for its DEA policies.

10:16

They're investigating to determine if

10:18

the Disney is... quote, promoting

10:20

forms of DEI discrimination, which

10:22

obviously is totally insane and

10:24

is yet another attempt, as

10:26

we are seeing in various

10:28

other sectors, to, you know,

10:30

basically like extort something from

10:32

Disney, whether it's money or

10:34

a promise to. or right-wing

10:36

films or whatever, yeah, whatever,

10:38

whatever it is, you know,

10:40

like, incredibly stupid. I mean,

10:42

also especially seems like a

10:44

waste of time because like

10:46

many companies, Disney is already

10:48

capitulating in certain ways, like

10:50

the removal of the trans

10:52

character from their recent animated

10:54

series. Yeah, I think this

10:56

is just allowing Finn Jones

10:59

to speculate of that you

11:01

might return as I am.

11:03

That's what they really want.

11:05

That's what the FCC investigation

11:07

is about. Like, let Finn

11:09

Jones have his second chance,

11:11

guys. Just let him be

11:13

iron fist. But yes, luckily,

11:15

I will say, Disney is

11:17

a corporation that hates to

11:19

be told what to do,

11:21

and they also have incredibly.

11:23

vicious and litigious lawyers as

11:25

we have known throughout our

11:27

lives when it comes to

11:29

you know season desisting people

11:31

for using Winnie the Pooh

11:33

on Children's Graves etc. This

11:35

to me seems like a

11:37

battle that the FCC won't

11:39

win or won't want to

11:41

actually complete if Disney decides

11:43

to fight against it but

11:45

that question is unclear. where

11:47

this stands right now. And

11:49

whether they actually have any

11:51

control to do this in

11:53

any way. Let's take a

11:56

quick break and we'll be

11:58

right back. Now

song, which has announced that

16:27

he has quit the series.

16:29

because Mike White didn't, was

16:31

giving him notes apparently.

16:34

This is one of the

16:36

craziest stories I've seen and

16:38

it's very funny to me. I

16:40

was also like, I know your

16:42

people were like reaching out to

16:45

Variety and being like, hey, can

16:47

you run this please? I'm pissed

16:49

off with Mike White, my old

16:51

friend. This is insane to me.

16:53

So apparently he wanted to

16:56

add like the, a certain

16:58

melodic sequence in. and wanted to

17:00

kind of elongate the beat drop

17:02

portion also of the theme song and

17:04

Mike White was like no Mike White

17:06

who created the show and as the

17:09

executive producer of the show was like

17:11

no let's not do that and Krista

17:13

Ball was just like well fuck this

17:15

I'm quitting yeah listen I support

17:17

we support artists here I

17:20

support artists okay I think

17:22

artists should have the ability

17:24

creativity to do what they do on

17:26

their own projects. If Krista Ball has

17:28

his own album that he's putting out,

17:30

nobody should be able to tell him

17:32

what's on that. If you got hired

17:34

to write a jingle, write the fucking

17:36

jingle and cash the check. What is

17:38

this funny to me too? Because I

17:41

bet Christopher was like so happy when

17:43

everyone was like upset that they changed

17:45

the theme for season three and it

17:47

doesn't have like no. Well now everyone's

17:49

like yeah, of course now they're nine

17:51

episodes like about to be nine episodes

17:53

in or whatever. What is the point of

17:55

this? Why do I? This seems so like destructive

17:57

from a PR like what do you do?

18:00

are obviously very creatively intertwined

18:02

and this really upset Christopher

18:04

and also when you read

18:06

the pieces about this it's

18:08

from the first season they

18:10

were having these kind of

18:12

fights it seems like the

18:14

two of them were constantly

18:16

in beef. Christopher was like

18:18

I was hired because I'm

18:20

an experimental musician and HBO

18:22

was like please just like

18:24

we've been informed by our

18:26

producer Carmen also that they're

18:28

kind of up and down

18:30

relationship between crystal ball and
