I didn't want that one anyway.

::

Let's do it live.

::

Fuck it.

::

We'll do it live.

::

Do it live.

::

I don't like that one either.

::

We're doing it live.

::

Welcome to Films of Black and White,

::

everybody.

::

How are you all feeling?

::

It's hot,

::

but it is a great Monday to be

::

with you all.

::

But it is hot.

::

It's hot everywhere.

::

So we got a little news

::

episode for you all.

::

We got a little...

::

So we got a little

::

smattering of different

::

things that we're going to talk about.

::

This is a news episode to

::

those who are familiar,

::

which means we're going to

::

run down some things,

::

a topic that we all want to chat about.

::

And we've all brought that.

::

And so I'm excited to get into it.

::

I'm excited to get into it with you all.

::

But more importantly,

::

we got to make sure

::

everybody is thoroughly

::

welcomed and introed and

::

brought into this space.

::

So I'm going to kick it on

::

over to Marcus J. Destin, a.k.a.

::

Damn, Kendrick, he's dead.

::

He's dead.

::

Kendrick, stop kicking the body.

::

The bitch is dead.

::

Like, leave it the fuck alone.

::

Like...

::

Oh, my God.

::

Listen, after Juneteenth,

::

shout out to Doug for

::

helping me with Juneteenth,

::

who I randomly,

::

I was too lazy to go to the

::

store and randomly asked

::

him to borrow four beers

::

for the gumbo and a cooler.

::

So I can always count on my

::

guy so I can just pop by

::

the house and just grab

::

four beers and a cooler and

::

then walk right out of the house.

::

Oh, yeah.

::

After Juneteenth, thank you to everybody.

::

Before I get started,

::

right now we're in the

::

middle of mad flooding in

::

the area in the Sioux Falls, Iowa.

::

I think it's Sioux City.

::

Sioux City, Sioux Falls area.

::

We have a lot of flooding.

::

Just prayers to those that are

::

experience in that you know

::

those that have land that

::

is like going to be you

::

know damaged by that we

::

have we have some issues

::

right now that is kind of

::

repercussions in the

::

vermilion area that they

::

sent out a warning for us

::

to kind of like ease up on

::

water usage and stuff so

::

just a lot of things

::

happening a lot of people

::

affected in different ways

::

and you know I heard there

::

was one life loss already

::

so just prayers to

::

everybody be safe don't try

::

to force the travel just

::

stay your ass in home and

::

just be with the family or

::

you know do what you got to

::

do so I just want to start there

::

Secondly,

::

went home after Juneteenth

::

celebration and I spent it

::

the way I was supposed to

::

by watching the fucking

::

free Amazon Kendrick concert.

::

It was called Ken and

::

Friends and it was the pop

::

up in the forum in L.A.

::

And so it was a six hour stream.

::

I think I came in at the three hour mark.

::

It's a very long stream.

::

It is, but he had DJ Head,

::

he had DJ Muster,

::

and he had a bunch of artists.

::

It started off with the more unknown,

::

or they're not in a major label,

::

or they're not majorly known yet,

::

but they're all LA artists,

::

LA-affiliated artists.

::

So they had the guys that we

::

don't really know,

::

and it led up to people like Tyler,

::

the creator, popping out,

::

and people like Schoolboy Q

::

and Black Hippie coming

::

back together once again,

::

which is Schoolboy Q, Absol, Kendrick,

::

and J-Rock as a group.

::

When they were a group,

::

they were called Black Hippie.

::

And then it led up to

::

Kendrick's big performance,

::

which that motherfucker did

::

Not Like Us six times.

::

I kind of have to chat about that.

::

I kind of want to chat about that.

::

That feels like a lot.

::

If you were to watch it,

::

you would have felt the energy.

::

And he stopped it midway.

::

So the first three times,

::

he would go all the way up to A minor.

::

And then he would let the crowd literally,

::

the music stop and the

::

crowd held the A minor note.

::

And then the song started back over again.

::

And then the last three times,

::

he played it all the way

::

through while he got

::

like... It was like really...

::

dope because like la

::

politics and la hood

::

politics it was like bloods

::

crips all types of gangs

::

everybody from different

::

sections all on one stage

::

being able to be together

::

no ruckus no nothing they

::

took a picture together it

::

was like a real legendary

::

moment like only kendrick

::

to do so it was fire as

::

fuck shout out to kendrick

::

I've watched his

::

performance like twice it's

::

like really really good

::

really good stuff so drake

::

just in case you're curious um

::

Everybody hates you.

::

I need you to understand,

::

when the Crips and the

::

Bloods put their beef aside

::

to be on stage,

::

when all of California is like, no, no,

::

no.

::

fuck that guy.

::

Have you ever heard a

::

sold-out stadium scream?

::

Probably a minor... That's crazy.

::

You need to re-evaluate your life.

::

Do we need to deploy

::

Kendrick to conflict zones

::

to help mediate these types

::

of disagreements so that

::

everybody can get on the same page?

::

What you're telling me, Mark,

::

is these two rival gangs

::

who have historical bad blood.

::

More than two, technically.

::

I'm sure the LA Kings were there.

::

It was in LA.

::

I'm sure the LA Kings.

::

I'm sure they made an appearance.

::

But he got everybody up on

::

stage to do that.

::

I mean, I don't know.

::

World peace in our time.

::

Maybe.

::

Maybe.

::

I don't know.

::

Brian, I agree.

::

We have to fake shoes our shot, right?

::

Because...

::

him over to the current

::

conflict the a minor thing

::

I feel like is gonna things

::

work what I feel like

::

that's gonna we all I'm

::

trying the one in the

::

middle the one oh that

::

current that is not getting

::

better by being like no no

::

::

::

today my brother because

::

that's about to go left

::

I'm feeling great uh I'm I'm

::

very it was a

::

quintessential like summer

::

day here we had like

::

impossible blue sky here in

::

the chicago area it was 85

::

degrees uh hopped in the

::

pool after work with the

::

kiddos everybody was there

::

I was feeling I was like

::

you know what we're doing hot

::

So I summoned up the grill, got it going,

::

had hot dogs and brats.

::

It was great.

::

And my kids were like,

::

can you be pool daddy every day?

::

And I was like, I like that name.

::

I'm taking it.

::

So it's fine now.

::

So yeah,

::

we're just having a great

::

quintessential day.

::

Obviously, after work,

::

it was all summer all the time here.

::

It was a good time.

::

It was a good time.

::

I'm glad I'm glad I'm glad

::

that it went well I'm glad

::

that they gave you a new

::

nickname like that's that

::

makes me happy because the

::

nicknames I get for my

::

choke like for my children

::

are like big fella so I'm

::

really glad you get pool

::

daddy and I'm like get out

::

of the way big fella so I'm

::

appreciative and I'm so

::

happy that you have that my

::

favorite I mean like this

::

is one of the more

::

flattering ones like I've

::

had other ones like

::

Hey, dee-diggle, get out of the way.

::

And I'm like, what?

::

I don't even know what that is.

::

Dee-diggle.

::

I don't even know.

::

I don't know what that is.

::

It feels offensive, though.

::

Hey, haunches.

::

And I'm like, is that a word?

::

Is that offensive?

::

Speak in Spanish?

::

I don't know.

::

I don't know.

::

They say names to me, and I'm just like,

::

okay, all right, sure.

::

That's hilarious.

::

I was the crayon carrier at one point,

::

I believe.

::

Now that feels disrespectful.

::

I don't even know what none of it means.

::

Your job, hey,

::

I want to reduce you to what

::

you are to me.

::

You just carry my crayons.

::

That's it.

::

That's your job.

::

Bagman, listen up.

::

Crayon apple?

::

Crayon grape?

::

Crayon woodlice?

::

Just crayons.

::

Coloring crayons.

::

Just coloring crayons.

::

Oh, okay.

::

I'm hearing crayon, not crayon.

::

Oh, man.

::

I thought it was like Crayon Apple,

::

Crayon Grape, Dry Grains.

::

No, my bad.

::

I guess Crayon,

::

where I was born and raised

::

in the great white north of Minnesota,

::

it was Crayon.

::

And I see, okay, I see some folks,

::

I see Roman in the chat saying Crayon,

::

C-R-A-N.

::

I knew what you were talking about.

::

I knew you would.

::

Both of you are from that area, though,

::

so that makes sense.

::

How do you say the things

::

that are made of wax you color with?

::

A crayon.

::

Incorrect.

::

What do you mean, incorrect?

::

Phonetically, that doesn't sound right.

::

Crayola crayons, not Crayola crayons.

::

I'm dropping the O. I'll admit it.

::

I'm saying it real fast.

::

What you said is perfectly fine.

::

I'm now beefing with him

::

because you told me I was wrong.

::

Oh, because I told you you were wrong?

::

I'm glad I know where the line is.

::

I'm fine with however you say it.

::

It's fine,

::

so long as I don't say you're wrong.

::

But I also say pecans, not pecans.

::

That also feels incorrect.

::

I'm not saying it's incorrect.

::

It feels incorrect.

::

What is the thing inside of a snicker?

::

A nougat.

::

Oh.

::

Wait.

::

Caramel?

::

Caramel?

::

Let's see.

::

Gotcha.

::

It's got a caramel filling.

::

Gotcha.

::

Right there.

::

I just called the offensive

::

division just right there.

::

How quickly...

::

Both are acceptable.

::

I guess I prefer one over the other.

::

Jesus Christ, Roman.

::

You guys have degrees from Cornell.

::

You want to know what's worse, Roman?

::

You have the same fucking degree.

::

undergraduate degree from

::

cornell college cornell

::

feel free to use this in

::

your advertising materials

::

from this podcast hey they

::

they told me that different

::

types of people say

::

different things different

::

ways so I can say that's diversity

::

That's it.

::

You got it.

::

You made it.

::

Disappointing dad.

::

I'm doing good.

::

I'm a disappointing dad

::

because I feel like I

::

really bummed Marcus out

::

because he and I are going

::

to Orlando for a conference.

::

Oh, yeah.

::

And there's a whole time.

::

I've been like, yeah,

::

we're going to have a fun day.

::

We'll make it over to Universal Studios.

::

We'll make it over to Hollywood Studios.

::

We'll get your lightsaber going.

::

And then because of planning

::

and things that are beyond our control,

::

I had to be like,

::

buddy something came up like

::

I kind of had to do the

::

like we're not going to the

::

camp cabin speech yeah and

::

you just you kind of have

::

that vibe and I know it's

::

I'm thinking more of it and

::

I'm saying it in joking

::

joking now but there was

::

that moment where I looked

::

at Brittany and I was like

::

I just I feel bad.

::

And she was like, why?

::

And I'm like, I don't know.

::

I just do.

::

So Brittany looked at you

::

like Marcus is a grown ass man.

::

I talked about it like I was

::

letting my real son down.

::

Like, you know,

::

it's just I wanted to make

::

this thing happen for him.

::

And just unfortunately,

::

work got in the way.

::

Here's the thing.

::

When he explained it to me,

::

it was like one of those things of like.

::

He even downplayed it like, sorry, dude,

::

I'm not going to be able to go.

::

I got like work shit to do

::

and things previously

::

scheduled with people at the conference.

::

I'm like, dude, they gave you a promotion.

::

You survived several cuts.

::

And you think my black ass

::

is going to be the reason

::

that you don't do the shit

::

you're supposed to do?

::

Fuck no.

::

We can wait for a lightsaber.

::

That's true.

::

We can.

::

They'll be there.

::

They're not going anywhere.

::

But other than that, I'm just fucking hot,

::

man.

::

It's hot.

::

It's hot all the time.

::

It felt like 106 to here today,

::

so that's what the heat index got up to.

::

Add to the fact that the

::

route that I usually travel

::

to get to and from the gym is under about,

::

I don't know, eight feet of water.

::

It's been a day.

::

It's been a week.

::

No, no, I did not.

::

I did not because they

::

literally closed the

::

interstate because it's underwater.

::

And I'm glad you said something, Marcus,

::

because, man,

::

I know people who live down

::

there who are – they're okay.

::

Their houses seem like they're okay,

::

but they have friends and

::

family who are – this

::

week's going to be rough.

::

Yeah.

::

Thoughts and prayers to them for sure.

::

But I also just got done

::

going to a birthday party

::

for two people that I've

::

only met in public settings.

::

Has that ever happened to you?

::

You meet people in public settings.

::

They're like, hey, come over to the house.

::

We're having so-and-so's birthday.

::

And you're like, okay.

::

Yeah.

::

Actually, in Vermillion, yes,

::

that happens.

::

Like small communities,

::

that is like very much a thing.

::

And here's what I'm going to say.

::

This is not a shot at them.

::

They're lovely,

::

very kind people that I

::

will enjoy spending time with again.

::

But it's always very

::

interesting to me like how

::

you do those awkward

::

introductions like when you

::

meet other adults for the first time.

::

Sure.

::

And there's just long,

::

awkward pauses where you're

::

just kind of like,

::

How about that flood, huh?

::

Pretty nuts.

::

Pretty nuts shit.

::

Pretty wet, I bet.

::

Like,

::

you just don't know what else to say.

::

So you're just kind of like,

::

you're just kind of awkward.

::

So, yeah.

::

So that was a fun situation.

::

I sat down and Brittany goes like, oh,

::

they're really nice.

::

I was like, man,

::

it's always weird meeting other adults,

::

isn't it?

::

Like,

::

I didn't even lead with they're nice.

::

I led with this situation is weird.

::

Because honestly,

::

how do you meet other adult

::

friends at this age?

::

You know what I mean?

::

Because it's kind of like...

::

It's kind of hard at the

::

moment that I'll move from South Dakota.

::

That's going to be like a

::

that's going to be a thing.

::

You know what I mean?

::

Sure.

::

I'll be in my 30s at that point.

::

And it'll be like,

::

how the fuck do you make

::

new friends as an adult?

::

I mean,

::

without alcohol or without like

::

some type of like partying

::

is one way that you go and

::

you drink and get too drunk

::

with somebody and kind of

::

like you bond off of like, yo,

::

we were kind of fucked up at that party.

::

Right.

::

Right.

::

That's one way to go about it.

::

But I don't you know.

::

It's just different.

::

And I just found out that Bumble,

::

the dating app,

::

has a BFF feature that

::

women can basically just

::

find other friends.

::

So they use all the dating app data.

::

And they're like,

::

we think you'll be friends

::

with this person.

::

Go for it.

::

I saw that on TikTok and I was like,

::

that's a thing?

::

I had no idea.

::

Marcus,

::

what was your question going to be?

::

what was your question gonna

::

be right how did you find

::

that out oh I found it out

::

through tiktok I was

::

cruising tiktok you

::

answered my question that

::

wasn't gonna be my question

::

uh I was gonna ask what the

::

percentage is that people

::

get scammed from the friend

::

side of things I i don't

::

know I couldn't say I

::

couldn't say it was a 30

::

second tiktok video

::

Probably pretty lower, I'd bet.

::

I mean, I don't know, man.

::

I don't know.

::

I've never done dating apps,

::

so I couldn't say.

::

All right, guys.

::

I'm warm.

::

I'm warm.

::

Let's get into the pod.

::

I'm all warmed up.

::

I'm all loose.

::

105 degrees or whatever.

::

Yeah, I bet.

::

Juneteenth just passed,

::

and don't ever let the

::

white man prey on your

::

downfall like this.

::

don't ever let them bring it

::

back up to you we say

::

reparations they say how

::

many times did you get

::

scared this this is like a

::

zigzag it's not even like

::

oh it took a hard right

::

turn at the 15 minute mark

::

::

brian this is inside joke

::

inception this is like an

::

inside joke inside of an

::

inside joke remake

::

Inside of someone else's dream.

::

That's the way that this works.

::

I feel like Leo's going to

::

pop out and he's like, does the top spin?

::

Does it spin?

::

Too far.

::

Do you have any 13-year-old friends?

::

Was that a shot at Leo?

::

Yeah, he's into very, very young women.

::

Yes.

Him and Drake.

Brian, please, what were you going to say?

::

I was going to interrupt you.

::

No, no, no.

::

I was going to say, you know,

::

if people listen to that episode,

::

everybody,

::

it was implied that you wanted

::

to romance a green M&M.

::

But I would like to point out,

::

you never said that.

::

And I thought that was really funny.

::

I never did.

::

Brian, don't do that.

::

I listened to the episode.

::

I also listened to it,

::

and I never said that I did.

::

I said that back in the day,

::

that's what people used it

::

as a rumor for.

::

For sure.

::

Oh, wow.

::

Marcus just throwing up banners.

::

Anyway, here we are.

::

Anyway, yeah.

::

Here we are.

::

Gentlemen,

::

::

Mickey's here.

::

Roman is here.

::

Come on, y'all.

::

We got to go.

::

Yeah, we're cruising.

::

Let's get into our little

::

game we like to call Catch That Corporal.

::

Catch

::

I'm sorry, Dickie.

::

What?

::

Hold on.

::

I'm sorry, what?

::

For our listeners, hey,

::

it sounds like you have

::

some literature I need to read.

::

Apparently the green M&M is

::

a lesbian icon.

::

This is news to me.

::

I get it.

::

Type it on the keyboard.

::

All the men want her and she

::

wants none of them.

::

She took one look.

::

Okay.

::

Gentlemen,

::

::

Ready.

::

Hit me.

::

Hit me.

::

Hit me.

::

Ready.

Bald.

::

Bald.

::

Bald.

::

Person one.

::

My eyes.

::

I'm sorry, what?

::

That's the quote.

::

The quote is an exchange

::

between a group of people

::

and then one person.

::

Group.

::

Bald.

::

Bald, bald, bald, bald.

::

Roman, this feels personal.

::

Oh, I know what this is.

::

I have no idea what this is.

::

I know what this is,

::

but I'm going to let y'all

::

cook for a minute.

::

I know what this is.

::

This is very childish, too, as well.

::

So I just want you to know.

::

Marcus, you can let me cook,

::

but I don't know the recipe,

::

because I don't even know where this is.

::

I don't know what to tell you, brother.

::

I know exactly what this is.

::

The clue is that my eyes part.

::

The Patty family?

::

Oh, that's a good quote, Roman.

::

Roman said the hint is the

::

Patreon members.

::

Nikki guessed.

::

Go right ahead.

::

No, Nikki,

::

don't guess yet because they

::

can't do that yet.

::

Me and you will do it at the same time,

::

okay?

::

And then we'll let the timer run out.

::

They need to suffer.

::

Brian, any ideas?

::

no idea what this is nope I

::

like my eyes is the

::

giveaway my eyes is the big

::

giveaway I remember there

::

was this weird movie with

::

norm mcdonald that and like

::

it was like dirty deeds or

::

something or dirty business

::

dirty work you're thinking

::

too deep incredible yeah oh

::

man yeah nikki

::

Is SpongeBob?

::

It's SpongeBob.

::

That's the ball-headed guy

::

is King Neptune.

::

And they find out he's bald

::

under his crown or something like that.

::

And I think the sun shines

::

off of his bald head and it

::

lights one of the fish eyes on fire.

::

And he says, my eyes!

::

My eyes!

::

Yep, that's it.

::

Yep, the Spongebob Squarepants movie.

::

I will admit,

::

I've never seen the Spongebob movie.

::

I also have not.

::

That's a fucking classic.

::

I watched that in the theater.

::

Oh my god, yeah.

::

It's like fucking David

::

Hasselhoff makes an

::

appearance in that fucking movie.

::

He does.

::

That I remember.

::

Yeah, it was great.

::

That's a great one.

::

There you go.

::

$70.

::

All right.

::

$30 more.

::

We'll donate.

::

We'll donate to a nonprofit.

::

This is exciting.

::

Yeah.

::

We had a little bit of a rut in May.

::

We did.

::

May was a rough month for us.

::

May and June was a little

::

bit of a rough month for us.

::

Shout out to Nikki.

::

You're on top of it.

::

Nikki knew that shit right away.

::

Good for her.

::

Marcus,

::

you have a quiz for Brian and I. I

::

would love for us to start

::

with that because it makes

::

the most sense.

::

Okay, sounds good.

::

I'm going to have a quiz.

::

I'm going to do a quiz for y'all.

::

And we're going to do this joint together,

::

huh?

::

So can everybody see this?

::

Sir can.

::

I can.

::

What are we doing here?

::

So we're going to do this

::

from time to time.

::

This is nothing like Brian's

::

phenomenal bracket busting.

::

That's okay.

::

Because that takes time, dedication,

::

and months to plan in advance.

::

Oh, shucks.

::

This one is just a website

::

of people that push it together,

::

and we're just going to vote on it.

::

So we're going to do the

::

best Marvel movies out of 32, okay?

::

Oh, goodness gracious.

::

And I think it randomizes it.

::

So I can't see the screen.

::

I have to stay on the screen

::

where we have to click.

::

No Way Home versus Starford.

::

No Way Home versus Starford Home.

::

This is No Way Home any day.

::

Easy.

::

No Way Home.

::

And we're going on majority.

::

So don't think too deep.

::

We're just going majority.

::

No, this is gun to your chest.

::

You want the Incredible Hulk

::

or you want Ant-Man?

::

Incredible Hulk.

::

Quantumania.

::

Whoa.

::

I'm going Incredible Hulk.

::

As was I. That's fine.

::

For sure.

::

All right, next up,

::

we have Captain America,

::

Winter Soldier versus Age of Ultron.

::

Yeah, Winter Soldier.

::

This is not even a contest.

::

I would agree.

::

All right, Iron Man 2 versus Black Panther,

::

Wakanda Forever.

::

Wakanda Forever.

::

Wakanda Forever.

::

I was going Iron Man 2.

::

That is surprising.

::

I'm very surprised.

::

I have my reasons.

::

I miss Chadwick.

::

Is it too close to June theme?

::

Okay, quick decision.

::

Guardians of the Galaxy 3

::

versus Spider-Man Homecoming.

::

Yeah, Guardians.

::

I want the listeners to also

::

know what we're picking.

::

Captain America the First

::

Avenger versus Thor Love and Thunder.

::

I would go Captain America First Avenger.

::

Yeah, I'm going Cap.

::

Yeah.

::

That's a good choice.

::

Love and Thunder has its place,

::

but not here.

::

The other one ages well.

::

Iron Man 3 versus Falcon and

::

the Winter Soldier.

::

Well, I mean,

::

clearly it's Falcon and the

::

Winter Soldier, right?

::

Iron Man 3.

::

No, no, it's Iron Man 3.

::

Oh, I was about to say, what the fuck?

::

Iron Man 3 won.

::

Okay, cool.

::

Captain Marvel versus Hawkeye, the series.

::

That's really tough.

::

I'm going Captain Marvel.

::

I'm going to go Hawkeye.

::

I'm also going to go Hawkeye.

::

Sorry, Bri.

::

it's the disappointment like

::

it's the disappointment

::

that you can hear in him

::

like cool daddy uh sorry

::

deep diggle uh thor

::

ragnarok versus ant-man

::

ragnarok ragnarok sorry

::

crayon carrier sorry crayon character

::

Crayon Grape Carrier.

::

Infinity War versus Black Widow.

::

Infinity War.

::

Yeah, I am taking some of these hard.

::

Yes, Chad.

::

Yes, Nikki.

::

Yeah, sorry, Nikki.

::

I am taking some of these hard.

::

Uh...

::

Oh, wow.

::

That's actually really cool, Roman.

::

We're going to come back and visit that.

::

I see you in the chat.

::

Iron Man versus Doctor

::

Strange Multiverse of Madness.

::

I'm sorry.

::

I'm going Iron Man.

::

It's Iron Man.

::

I love Elizabeth Olsen.

::

Tony Stark built this in a

::

game with scraps.

::

We need a Scarlet Witch movie.

::

That's all.

::

Oh, that's coming.

::

I bet better.

::

Guardians of the Galaxy.

::

I'm going to go Loki.

::

Volume 1 versus Loki.

::

Because I'm looping in Loki

::

season 1 and season 2,

::

and I think combining them together,

::

I'm going Loki.

::

I'm going to go Guardians of the Galaxy.

::

I see where you're going,

::

but I think Guardians of

::

the Galaxy is such a Marvel classic.

::

Fuck.

::

Thor versus the Black Movie.

::

I'm going the Black Movie.

::

Black Panther.

::

I mean... I mean, it was just Juneteenth,

::

so Black Panther.

::

You know, you know.

::

Guardians of the... Don't

::

say because it was

::

Juneteenth that you picked Black Panther.

::

You can also just pick Black Panther.

::

Justice.

::

No?

::

No?

::

Alright.

::

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.

::

2 versus Avengers Endgame.

::

Endgame.

::

They didn't stand a chance.

::

um thor the dark world

::

versus wandavision

::

wandavision like that's

::

even man not even natalie

::

portman can make that

::

competitive she's like oh I

::

wouldn't vote for me

::

ant-man versus dr strange

::

I'm gonna go ant-man that's

::

a toss-up I would say hmm

::

I'm going dr strange oh I

::

make it awkward think I like

::

Doctor Strange,

::

because I'm thinking of Mason.

::

But I really did like the

::

first Ant-Man movie.

::

That's kind of hard.

::

I mean, that's a 50-50.

::

Either one, they're equally as good.

::

All right,

::

so we're here to our Sweet 16 round,

::

y'all.

::

So now we're seeing repeats, okay?

::

All right.

::

Black Panther versus WandaVision.

::

I'm going Black Panther still.

::

I know, I know.

::

Go ahead.

::

Black Panther is a better whole product.

::

WandaVision...

::

kind of falls off at the end.

::

Oh, everybody said Black Panther?

::

That's really surprising,

::

but I agree with how you stated that.

::

Iron Man 3 versus Guardians

::

of the Galaxy Volume 1.

::

Guardians, for sure.

::

This is way easier at this point.

::

Spider-Man No Way Home

::

versus Doctor Strange.

::

No Way Home, baby.

::

For sure.

::

That movie was good.

::

Captain America,

::

the first Avenger versus Infinity War.

::

Infinity War.

::

Give me that bearded cap.

::

Yeah, that was not for that.

::

Not for that reason.

::

But no, yeah,

::

the only bearded cap

::

Guardians of the Galaxy

::

Volume three versus Hawkeye.

::

Give me that Guardians.

::

Yeah.

::

Okay.

::

All right.

::

Okay.

::

Yeah, that's fine.

::

I think Hawkeye slept on,

::

but that was a hard.

::

Hawkeye's good, but it's a tough matchup.

::

This is cheating.

::

Incredible Hulk versus Avengers Endgame.

::

I feel like Endgame is going

::

to just sweep here.

::

I'm going to whoop your ass.

::

It's Endgame.

::

Captain America Winter

::

Soldier versus Black

::

Panther Wakanda Forever.

::

I'm going to go Winter Soldier.

::

I'm also going to go Winter Soldier.

::

Yeah.

::

Fourth of July versus Juneteenth.

::

Iron Man versus Thor Ragnarok.

::

I'm going Ragnarok.

::

Okay.

::

I'm going Iron Man.

::

Doug, make it weird.

::

I was going to go Ragnarok.

::

Okay.

::

It's funnier.

::

Iron Man is a classic.

::

It's funnier.

::

It is.

::

It's funnier.

::

It's more entertaining to me.

::

Thor Ragnarok versus

::

Guardians of the Galaxy.

::

All right.

::

We're in the final four now.

::

All right.

::

It's the final four.

::

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

::

Jesus.

::

Anti-climactic.

::

The final four.

::

Thor Ragnarok or Guardians?

::

Guardians.

::

Yeah.

::

Ragnarok.

::

Oh, fuck.

::

I got to pick.

::

I want to go... I'm going to go Guardians.

::

Ragnarok is... I should have

::

went with Tessa Thompson.

::

Fuck.

::

Guardians of the Galaxy

::

Volume 3 or Infinity War?

::

Guardians.

::

No, no, no.

::

Hold on.

::

Yeah.

::

Guardians.

::

I'm going Infinity War.

::

Infinity War.

::

That's so emotional.

::

Guardians was good.

::

It has a little bit of recency.

::

Guardians 3 is very good.

::

It's a top 10.

::

Captain America Winter

::

Soldier vs. Avengers Endgame.

::

I'm going Endgame.

::

You know what?

::

Winter Soldier.

::

Whatever.

::

I'm going to go Endgame.

::

That's fine.

::

Black Panther vs. Spider-Man No Way Home.

::

Oh, man.

::

Aye, aye, aye, aye.

::

that's tough that's tough

::

that's tough I mean it's

::

like james bond lion king

::

versus like all the

::

spider-men I it's just I

::

don't know man james bond

::

lion king is a crazy way to

::

describe that and it's

::

accurate as fuck black

::

panther like it's why it

::

works so well because it's

::

like hey y'all know hamlet

::

and you're like yeah okay

::

what if what if he was a

::

spy and you're like that's

::

right yeah that's actually

::

a really good way to put

::

that what the fuck that's really good

::

I'm so mad.

::

I never thought about that.

::

I mean,

::

that's why Black Panther works so well.

::

I'm going to talk myself

::

into Black Panther.

::

I'm going Spider-Man.

::

Ooh, okay.

::

I'm going to go... This is hard for me,

::

either way,

::

because I love both of these movies.

::

This is incredibly difficult.

::

I'm going to go Black Panther,

::

because I remember what it

::

did when it came out for Black folk.

::

Honestly, that's perfect.

::

I'm going Black Panther.

::

Yeah, that's tough, though.

::

Spider-Man No Way Home is good.

::

No Way Home is a cinematic achievement,

::

not because of the movie,

::

but because it was a hot mess.

::

They didn't have that script

::

finished before they started filming,

::

so it's incredible that it is that good.

::

That it even happened.

::

That it even happened.

::

Guardians of the Galaxy

::

Volume 1 or Infinity War?

::

Oh, Infinity War.

::

Unfortunately, it's Infinity War.

::

What do you say, unfortunately?

::

Because Guardians is good.

::

Oh, God.

::

That's fucked up.

::

Avengers Endgame versus Black Panther.

::

Okay, I will admit before y'all vote,

::

the better round would have

::

been Avengers Endgame versus No Way Home.

::

Yeah.

::

Yes.

::

Yeah,

::

because I would have gone No Way Home

::

for that.

::

Yeah, I would have gone No Way Home.

::

Avengers Endgame is still good.

::

I will watch all three.

::

I'm going Endgame.

::

Yeah, I'm going Endgame.

::

Okay,

::

I'll go Black Panther for the sake of

::

going Black Panther,

::

but I would also pick Endgame.

::

We all have our dissenting opinions.

::

Thanks for doing the Lord's work.

::

What the fuck?

::

How the fuck did this happen?

::

Infinity War versus Avengers Endgame.

::

I told you Endgame was gonna

::

be- I can tell you how it happened,

::

because you had Guardians 3

::

versus Infinity War,

::

and you two ding-dongs went, uh,

::

Infinity War.

::

Why the fuck would you pick- No,

::

I stand by that.

::

I stand by that.

::

What the fuck?

::

That's fine.

::

We're all going to pick

::

Endgame and it's fine.

::

It's fine.

::

If you need me to reassure you, it's fine.

::

I would pick Infinity War.

::

Only because I remember the reason.

::

Are both of y'all picking it?

::

No, I'm picking Endgame.

::

I'm also picking Endgame.

::

I only picked Infinity War

::

because I remember the

::

feeling when the credits

::

started rolling and

::

everybody in that theater was like,

::

what the fuck?

::

What just happened?

::

Everybody was like, that's it?

::

I remember there were

::

children in the theater for Infinity War.

::

And they were like, what happens?

::

I remember there was a parent.

::

I was like, what happens next?

::

That's it, kiddo.

::

No, Madame Webb didn't enter this.

::

But no, this kid was distraught.

::

So sorry to those parents

::

who had to explain what

::

death was to all of those children.

::

Jesus Christ.

::

I'm dead serious.

::

What do you mean they're not coming back?

::

Are they okay?

::

What happens when you die?

::

Oh, I mean...

::

You know how they say ashes to ashes,

::

dust to dust?

::

Yeah, it's kind of like that.

::

I mean, some kid just saw Spider-Man die.

::

He has no idea what's going on.

::

Nikki, how much time do you have?

::

I do want to point this out before you go.

::

The top three for people

::

that were participating in this.

::

These were the rates.

::

These were the top three movies.

::

Infinity War won amongst

::

everybody with 25.81%.

::

The win rate was 82.72%.

::

Avengers Endgame is next

::

with a win rate of 81.7%.

::

And then Guardians of the

::

Galaxy Volume 3 was a win

::

rate with 68.61%.

::

That's fascinating.

::

That was on to something, for sure.

::

I mean,

::

for people that want to know Madam Web,

::

honestly, not to plug the podcast,

::

but you could probably just

::

listen to our podcast

::

episode and you'll get the vibe.

::

It is already on Netflix.

::

So if you have a Netflix

::

account and you're like, man,

::

I'm going to get wasted and watch that.

::

You know what?

::

That's a great point, GZDR4EV.

::

None of the Blade movies made it,

::

and I think that's kind of bullshit.

::

But they must have only done newer.

::

Also,

::

the Marvels wasn't in this too as well.

::

No, only done for MCU.

::

Well, they also threw in TV shows too.

::

So I think they randomized

::

the 32 and then put them in there.

::

I bet that quiz was made at

::

a date and they just didn't

::

go back and update it.

::

For sure, and like didn't update it.

::

Yeah, for sure.

::

Because the Blade one should be.

::

Sorry, Brian, go ahead.

::

No, that format was good of the lightning.

::

I didn't think too hard.

::

The only one I thought

::

really hard about was Black Panther,

::

I think.

::

As you should.

::

Juneteenth versus Fourth of July.

::

That's the AKA.

::

Or it might be.

::

It might be.

::

That's going to get us canceled.

::

Dr. Diggle.

::

What's his name?

::

My crayon carrier.

::

D. Diggle.

::

D. Diggle.

::

Cool daddy.

::

Mark is about to drop the

::

hottest summer jam.

::

All right, move on.

::

I'm done.

::

Let's move on.

::

Hey, Brian, we got a news episode.

::

Lay us down with that funky

::

fat first piece of news, baby.

::

All right.

::

What an intro for my funky

::

fat piece of news.

::

Anyway.

::

Funky and fat.

::

Keep it away from you.

::

First piece of news.

::

I wanted to the two.

::

So mine's a two for one.

::

Um,

::

and it's more of a conversation about

::

streamers and their pricing.

::

Um, so it was announced today.

::

Paramount plus is getting

::

another price hike.

::

Um,

::

so essentially for new people who sign

::

up for Paramount plus, um,

::

that's going to cost $13 a month, um,

::

starting August 20th.

::

and so essentially if you're

::

doing the thing where

::

you're rotating streamers

::

if you drop paramount we

::

lost marcus is he gonna

::

make it is he he and I are

::

both like he and I are both

::

trying really hard not to

::

laugh through your news

::

because what you're saying

::

is really important but he

::

and I did something wildly

::

inappropriate and so now

::

we're both trying to fight

::

we're trying to fight by

::

tears because it was all

::

visual and you were reading

::

from your news when we were

::

doing it I totally

::

You know how, like,

::

when the teacher turns

::

their back and they start

::

writing on the whiteboard

::

and everybody's like, give us a finger.

::

You're looking at the worst

::

motherfuckers of life.

::

Don't put us in a serious situation.

::

Sorry, Brian.

::

Keep going.

::

Oh, you're fine.

::

Twenty dollars is too damn high.

::

Go ahead.

::

That's too much cock for me.

::

You're fine.

::

Today.

::

Hi.

::

I want that political party.

::

That is the political party I will join.

::

Too damn high.

::

Too much what?

::

That's too much cock for me.

::

Whoa.

::

Too high.

::

Too high.

::

Okay, I wasn't expecting that.

::

Keep going, Brian.

::

I'll try.

::

That's a lot.

::

That's a lot.

::

That's something.

::

Yeah.

::

Anyway, you heard it.

::

Paramount, like, it's big claim to fame.

::

been claimed to fame when it

::

started it was like hey

::

paramount plus it's like

::

seven bucks all right oh

::

yeah come to us seven bucks

::

hey you you are you part of

::

walmart are you are you a

::

walmart plus subscriber

::

guess what you get it for

::

free like they were like

::

the bargain bundle barrel

::

type situation of streamers

::

so now they're moving it up

::

to 13 a month for new

::

subscribers um and this

::

comes off of other news at

::

the beginning of the month

::

that h that not hp

::

i hate it so much max is

::

raising prices for their ad

::

free tier from basically

::

they're going to raise it

::

to twenty dollars a month

::

that's that's essentially

::

the average they're going

::

to raise um I i can't find

::

the exact date for when

::

that's happening but

::

essentially that's it's

::

imminent um and I know that

::

because I got I got the

::

email and it was like hey

::

we know you're max

::

subscriber guess what

::

you're gonna pay more

::

you're gonna like it

::

So anyway,

::

people are raising their streaming prices,

::

and that seems to be newsworthy.

::

So when is the revolution?

::

When's the revolution, girlies?

::

I mean,

::

the revolution will not be televised.

::

Right now!

::

Talk about price controls.

::

I mean, of course there's deals,

::

but $20 at 12 months is

::

$240 for one streaming app.

::

yeah it's it's it's not

::

happening it's not that's

::

too much y'all it's too

::

much it's I don't know

::

everybody just thinks

::

they're netflix and you're

::

not like I don't know how

::

else to tell you this

::

you're not and and there's

::

only one place you can

::

watch madam webb and that's on netflix

::

Why don't we keep promoting

::

that bullshit movie?

::

Because it shouldn't exist.

::

Because I kind of secretly

::

want it to get really

::

popular because people listen to this.

::

You're going to Morbius it?

::

Is that what you're trying to do here,

::

Dan?

::

Wait, Brian,

::

is this for Paramount or is

::

this for Peacock?

::

No, this is for Paramount.

::

How the fuck am I still

::

paying $6 for Paramount?

::

You probably signed up super early,

::

so don't cancel it if you

::

want that legacy rate.

::

I do not.

::

That's very interesting.

::

Okay, well, man,

::

now my too much cop joke

::

doesn't make sense because

::

I thought it was for

::

Peacock this whole time.

::

Apparently,

::

Madam Web is the killer app you

::

gotta have.

::

Nikki said, if I can't watch Madam Web,

::

I'm not subscribing to your shit site.

::

That's why I'm with Nikki.

::

You know what?

::

That's a fair point.

::

There's gotta be a line somewhere.

::

No, we ain't gonna take it.

::

We're not gonna take it.

::

We've interrupted Brian this entire time.

::

No, you're fine.

::

This is totally targeted to people, though,

::

who sign up for a service

::

for a month and then drop it.

::

So, Doug,

::

if you didn't drop it and you

::

wanted to...

::

re-up for I can't remember

::

what the kevin costner show

::

is it's like yellowstone

::

yellowstone which he made

::

the announcement that he's

::

not coming back to like he

::

took because he put all of

::

his eggs in the like no

::

something else pissed him

::

off because he he made when

::

he made that video it was

::

like angry dad making that

::

video he was like I'm just

::

making a bit he made it in

::

his backyard in the middle

::

of doing whatever the fuck

::

he was doing it was like

::

hey y'all y'all keep asking

::

me when I'm not coming back

::

to yellowstone I love what

::

it was hate what it is now see ya

::

Wow.

::

I didn't realize he had that

::

much disdain for Yellowstone.

::

Some people were saying it

::

was the director or something else,

::

but I'm sorry.

::

I mean, you're fine.

::

That's the only thing I know

::

about Paramount is people are like,

::

oh yeah, I gotta get my Yellowstone.

::

That's like one of the

::

fandoms I've never touched.

::

like like whenever I say oh

::

yeah I'm on a podcast we

::

talk about all this stuff

::

like oh what about

::

yellowstone I'm like I

::

don't I don't I don't know

::

what that is I feel like

::

paramount just needs a

::

little bit paramount is

::

like it could be on the

::

cusp because it has all the

::

ninja turtles transformers

::

star trek it has like the

::

top franchises that oh yeah

::

there's some solid

::

franchises and then in

::

addition to like ncis and

::

all that kind of stuff like that but yeah

::

It just doesn't have enough yet.

::

And I'm not sure what it's

::

missing to make it feel

::

like it's a competitor, I guess.

::

They just don't have that killer show.

::

I've never heard anyone be like,

::

you've got to get Paramount for blank.

::

I feel like for Max,

::

it was Last of Us and Game of Thrones.

::

There's a few other shows there.

::

And they have such fringe shows.

::

They have such...

::

really hyper specific like, hey,

::

you want to see Sylvester

::

Stallone play a fucking gangster in Tulsa,

::

Oklahoma?

::

That is real.

::

Then do we have a fucking show for you?

::

Bullshit it,

::

but you went for the real show.

::

That's the real show.

::

That's the real show.

::

And you're like, yes, of course I do.

::

I have a police.

::

I have a thin blue line

::

sticker on my truck.

::

I absolutely have to watch that.

::

I also have the Punisher sticker on it.

::

I fundamentally

::

misunderstand the Punisher.

::

I don't get either of those things.

::

But yes,

::

and I fucking love Sylvester

::

Stallone in being a guy in Tulsa,

::

Oklahoma.

::

Being a guy.

::

You know how old he is?

::

no he's so old but he keeps

::

making expendable movies

::

and fucking being in tulsa

::

oklahoma so like I think

::

it's literally called tulsa

::

king and I'm like you can

::

be king of that I'm not

::

interested sure sure sure

::

so western go ahead great

::

it sounds great for you

::

anyway uh anyway folks keep

::

raising prices they're not

::

gonna get what they want

::

and I and we just we need

::

Look,

::

I don't want people to lose their jobs,

::

but I do think we need

::

fewer streaming services.

::

Anytime y'all want to merge or collapse,

::

that'd be great.

::

That'd be great for

::

everybody because not

::

everyone's going to

::

subscribe to everything.

::

That plan's not going to work.

::

That ship has sailed.

::

That was 2020.

::

We're not doing that again.

::

We're not doing that.

::

Anyway, that's my news.

::

That's one of my news pieces.

::

Anyway, don't raise your prices.

::

I'm happy for you.

::

That's a great job.

::

Something's going to have to

::

get cut here soon, but yeah.

::

Yeah, we're right.

::

I mean, it's like and the other thing is,

::

is I think there is a

::

conversation to be had.

::

about what are studios...

::

What role do studios play in all of this?

::

Because at some point in time,

::

you're going to have to have a choice.

::

You're going to have to

::

figure out what you're going to do here,

::

because not everything is

::

going to be a box office smash,

::

but also we can't keep

::

raising the rates of streaming services.

::

There's got to be a middle

::

ground here somewhere.

::

Some of it feels like maybe

::

preparation from a streamer

::

in the production side.

::

If the movie theater dies...

::

We already have our footing

::

for what it would cost to go,

::

so we can just start

::

dropping our major movies

::

that we would do behind the

::

paywall of a $20 paywall.

::

That's the, you know, theorist in me,

::

I guess, but whatever.

::

No, I don't think you're far off.

::

I really don't.

::

Yeah.

::

Marcus, you have a big piece of news about,

::

I don't want to say spoilers or leaks,

::

so I want to do mine quick,

::

and then I want to get into yours,

::

if that's okay.

::

For sure.

::

So I would like to talk about Box Office.

::

Ooh.

::

All right, let's do it.

::

Inside Out...

::

Number two,

::

because this movie for

::

everybody who was sitting

::

there saying that Pixar was

::

on its way out and that it

::

couldn't have a hit again,

::

just needed to wait for, uh,

::

inside out too.

::

So Pixar, so this,

::

it had its second weekend

::

and it cleared a hundred

::

million box office domestically.

::

Um, and even beating, um,

::

weekend of performance.

::

You're lagging a little bit

::

and then somebody is

::

clicking and knocking.

::

Not really sure what that was.

::

I can't tell.

::

Anyway.

::

We got you.

::

We got you now.

::

I hate fucking all of it.

::

Nicky is hilarious.

::

Hey, goddamn,

::

in fucking Al Gore's internet,

::

I can't open up an article

::

and talk at the same time?

::

What the fuck is this shit?

::

Don't you dare.

::

Better disconnect your phone.

::

From your Wi-Fi.

::

Yeah.

::

Anyway, so anyway,

::

it's doing very well in the theater.

::

It's coming back where it needs to be.

::

So apparently we got what we

::

needed in terms of what Pixar is doing.

::

So, Brian,

::

we had an interesting discussion,

::

I think it was like two weekends ago,

::

about the trend and how

::

they haven't had a hit in a while.

::

So maybe things are on the

::

upswing for them,

::

but only time will tell.

::

I also think it's really interesting,

::

and I didn't read a whole lot into it,

::

But I do have a lot of

::

questions about why some

::

folks weren't brought back

::

for that movie because

::

Mindy Kaling and Bill Hader.

::

So Mindy Kaling played and played Disgust.

::

Bill Hader played Fear.

::

Those two people were not

::

involved in that project moving forward.

::

So that's what I think is

::

kind of interesting about

::

that whole setup.

::

But I just wanted to report

::

from the inside of Riley's brain,

::

I guess.

::

I mean,

::

I saw that Inside Out 2 crossed the

::

threshold that Dune 2 had

::

for most biggest box office

::

or continuous box office hit of the year.

::

So they've surpassed all the

::

money that Dune 2 has made

::

in two weeks that Dune 2 made in months.

::

So, I mean, I guess Disney got their wish.

::

They wanted a hit.

::

And I sure hope everybody

::

likes Pixar sequels because

::

they're coming.

::

Yeah.

::

There's a series.

::

There's a spinoff series

::

from Inside Out 2 that's coming out now.

::

Yep.

::

um right as well I mean

::

here's my question did they

::

it seems like they starved

::

people out of pixar movies

::

a little bit right like

::

what was the last thing

::

that dropped before inside

::

out elemental yeah that's a

::

that's that's a long time

::

ago so you kind of that's a

::

year ago yeah so it seems

::

like marvel and pixar like

::

disney as a whole right

::

it's like they start people out

::

to give it space and kind of

::

restructure and do whatever

::

the fuck they needed to

::

yeah also you had a billion

::

and then disney as a whole

::

has deadpool and wolverine

::

coming out oh yeah what's

::

the next what else is the

::

next biggest thing that's

::

there's something else

::

that's coming like it's

::

either another pixar

::

project or another

::

something so they had a

::

billion a billion and then

::

another billion oh yeah I

::

mean jesus christ like

::

that's a hell of a year for

::

disney like as a whole

::

Well, I mean,

::

it justifies bringing Iger back.

::

It justifies the strategy

::

for we're going to do less

::

because less is more.

::

It allows them to sort of

::

reorient themselves to

::

their theme park business, you know,

::

like because Tiana's Bayou

::

Adventure opened up this summer,

::

so they're really pushing

::

things that way.

::

It does.

::

I did not realize that Moana

::

Moana 2 is coming out in November 2024.

::

And then they also have

::

Mufasa coming out December 20th.

::

That's not making a billion.

::

Bonkers.

::

No,

::

I don't think Mufasa is going to hit

::

the billion.

::

I think Moana 2 has the

::

potential to hit that

::

billion mark if word of mouth is good.

::

I definitely think it'll get

::

its flowers and do its at

::

least 300 million mark.

::

after it's done in theaters

::

but I think it has the

::

potential to get up there

::

if people like oh no it's

::

like actually good good

::

like I feel like that it

::

depends whether the rock

::

puts his machine behind it

::

or not right like if he

::

which you know he will like

::

he's gonna put his

::

marketing arm he's gonna

::

show up at every theater in

::

decatur illinois and be

::

like I gave everybody a zoan or drink

::

free free tickets to this

::

movie like so like he's

::

just gonna show up and

::

everybody's gonna do that

::

he's gonna show up places

::

where you're like why the

::

fuck are you there and

::

you're like oh because

::

you've got a movie coming

::

out like that's yeah I i

::

feel like he's just gonna

::

show up with his tequila

::

and he's like who's ready

::

to sail the islands and

::

it's like all right I am

::

and some some adults are

::

like this is a theater full

::

of children that feels

::

inappropriate they all

::

gotta start drinking

::

eventually yeah if it's not

::

terramana then it's not the

::

real thing brother

::

I'm making him Hulk Hogan.

::

He's in his heel phase, okay?

::

The rock Dwayne Johnson is

::

in his heel phase right now.

::

He's going to be like... Yeah,

::

and a part of his heel

::

phase is giving ZOA... ZOA

::

Terramana bombers to every

::

child in a Moana theater.

::

Actually, that sounds delicious.

::

Because I will be honest with you,

::

that ZOA energy drink is pretty good.

::

It's actually good.

::

And I'll say this, his tequila?

::

It goes down real good.

::

His tequila is...

::

It's fine.

::

It's smooth.

::

It's smooth as fuck.

::

It's not bad at all, but goddamn.

::

The Zola Energy drinks,

::

he has very much cemented

::

Mid-America gas stations.

::

I just need to say this

::

because I was on a road trip recently.

::

Your quick trips.

::

I did.

::

I went into a random gas station.

::

There's this giant cardboard

::

cutout of the rock with ZOA.

::

And I was like, man, this guy,

::

I'm in the middle of nowhere, Kentucky,

::

and the rock is here trying

::

to give me ZOA.

::

So, I mean, yeah, I don't know.

::

Hard to find here, though.

::

Brian,

::

that's a scary gas station in the

::

middle of nowhere, Kentucky.

::

Where's the gas station?

::

Where were you?

::

I was in the middle of nowhere, Kentucky.

::

Is it located near a sundown town?

::

I do not know.

::

I didn't check.

::

Don't wait till sundown to find out.

::

I guess I won't.

::

It's my suggestion.

::

yeah uh but I mean it was

::

just some random gas

::

station obviously cardboard

::

cutouts of marketing

::

materials is nothing new

::

but I was just like really

::

the rock here okay great

::

anyway um yeah inside out

::

too is just gonna

::

everyone's gonna take all

::

the wrong lessons from that

::

I feel like they already

::

have I mean the fact that

::

we greenlit I mean you

::

greenlit frozen four and

::

five before I even got a

::

chance to see before I got

::

to see three so like it's just avatar

::

I do want to say,

::

you know the motherfucker

::

who gets the short end of

::

the stick in this?

::

Fucking Chapstick.

::

Chapstick ass.

::

He is the scapegoat in all

::

of the failures that is like,

::

if you needed a sole person

::

to blame it on, and he did.

::

It is his fault, but also like,

::

was all of it,

::

somebody had to green light his idea.

::

I mean, nobody said no to him.

::

Nobody said no to Chapik

::

when he was running Disney

::

in 2020 through 2022.

::

And if Chapik was still around,

::

I think Inside Out 2 would

::

have been in theaters and Disney Plus,

::

and you just would have

::

paid $30 to watch it at home.

::

Absolutely.

::

And it wouldn't have done

::

well at the box office.

::

Nope, not at all.

::

um so like I get it I get

::

what eiger is trying to do

::

and I think I think it does

::

pay off in the long term

::

but I think it's to your

::

point marcus that the movie

::

theaters aren't gonna

::

deliver like these huge box

::

office box like like

::

explosions of numbers every

::

time so you do have to

::

space this stuff out like

::

We can't go back.

::

No.

::

I don't know what fixes it

::

because every movie is just

::

not going to be an event

::

like a Barbie Oppenheimer

::

or an accidental hit like Elementals.

::

The movie theater is in a

::

different place now.

::

We got to

::

right from different yeah

::

yeah yeah and um you know I

::

will say this airbnb uh has

::

a inside out themed uh

::

destination where you can

::

go like what it looks like

::

to be in riley's command

::

center if you'd like to

::

send the three of us there

::

we'll do a live pod from their airbnb

::

Reporting live from Riley's head.

::

I would do that shit in a heartbeat.

::

Y'all didn't send us to the X-Mansion.

::

Y'all are terrible sugar daddies.

::

Airbnb, I'm a great guest.

::

You can check my score.

::

I am a super guest.

::

I sweep and mop before I fucking leave.

::

Whoa, okay, I don't mop.

::

Brian,

::

I don't want them to have to do a

::

lot of work on my behalf.

::

I'm taking shots off the control center,

::

so don't invite my black ass.

::

If you see lines of a white powder,

::

Marcus was there.

::

Oh my god!

::

What the fuck?

::

I said shots!

::

You went to cocaine?

::

Well, yeah, because it starts with shots.

::

Come on, Marcus.

::

It's a gateway alcohol?

::

That escalated so quickly.

::

Can you tell that I'm just not... Yeah.

::

Let's move on.

::

Marcus, just take it away.

::

Oh, I just,

::

today was a good day because

::

today was the first day

::

that they shot in Cleveland, Ohio,

::

the new Superman movie.

::

And we got leaks.

::

Oh, man.

::

So there was the teaser.

::

Yeah, for sure.

::

Why did they pick Cleveland?

::

I'm not james is there a

::

specific answer you're

::

looking for here no I'm

::

just curious I wonder why

::

cleveland don't don't you

::

all wonder why cleveland I

::

feel like that's a few

::

ideas what do you think I

::

don't know the avengers

::

also shot in ohio like I

::

think there's some tax

::

breaks there but also

::

they're the the outdoor

::

locations can mimic new

::

york pretty well too uh

::

right if you're going for

::

that metropolis kind of

::

like all right

::

claustrophobic metro feel

::

ohio has a lot of places

::

that can double for that

::

also like the cost of

::

production is pretty low

::

because it's well I mean

::

they do call cleveland the

::

mistake on the lake that's

::

why I was curious so do

::

Did you set that shit up to

::

just insult fucking Cleveland?

::

The mistake on the lake.

::

I did.

::

I set it up so that way I

::

could say that out loud so

::

I could say I hope Travis

::

Kelsey takes beef and has

::

to show up here to defend Cleveland.

::

Is he from Cleveland?

::

Yes.

::

What the fuck is all this

::

internal insult you're doing?

::

Okay.

::

Are you trying to pull a

::

Dave Grohl right now, man?

::

Hey, no, no, no, no, no.

::

Brian, I am a member of Dave Grohl's army.

::

All he has to do is say where and when,

::

and I will go where he

::

needs me to go in that war.

::

Yeah,

::

I don't want to be in the Taylor Swift,

::

Dave Grohl war.

::

You know what?

::

I will proudly plant my flag

::

on the Dave Grohl side of this.

::

Everyone in there,

::

everyone middle-aged versus

::

all of the hot teeny boppers slaying it.

::

just such a weird war it is

::

very strange yeah it is an

::

odd beef it's an odd it's a

::

weird beef to choose Dave

::

Grohl Taylor Swift wasn't

::

on my bingo card no um

::

So yeah,

::

we went and there was some photo leaks.

::

So I'm going to show you all

::

the leaked photos that came out.

::

I sent Brian and Doug the

::

leaked photo of the

::

newspaper a little bit earlier this week.

::

But now we have clean shots

::

of the Superman suit and Mr. Terrific.

::

So here we go.

::

This is number one.

::

Oh, wow.

::

Looks so good.

::

Oh, no, I like that suit.

::

The suit is really good.

::

It's the suit is really good.

::

He's either bulky as shit or

::

he like I love James Gunn

::

because he put the S on the back.

::

He put the yellow S on the

::

back of the Superman cape,

::

which is very classic, like very,

::

very classic.

::

And for listeners, I mean,

::

if you want to go back one photo, Marcus,

::

I mean,

::

we've got what I'm going... We

::

have like the classic lifter trunks on.

::

So this Superman,

::

he has a defined midsection here.

::

We're not just an all

::

blue... It's not an all

::

blue pajama set here.

::

I mean,

::

there's very clear distinction here.

::

And man,

::

that S looks like from Kingdom Come.

::

Yep.

::

It's just a straight bar.

::

It looks real good.

::

I think...

::

Man, that collar also very new.

::

I like the collar.

::

I like the collar is very

::

classic lifter trunks.

::

Yeah, like strong man.

::

Strong man trunks.

::

Oh, okay.

::

Yeah, like back in the 20s.

::

Oh, yeah, there it is.

::

Okay, we're there.

::

I just wanted to be known.

::

I was going through Superman

::

photos and just couldn't

::

let the lifter trunks go.

::

I'm sorry,

::

are you accusing me of being a

::

distraction when someone else is talking?

::

Motherfucker, we'd be in the same boat,

::

so don't do that.

::

Underrated, though.

::

Was that Mr. Terrific?

::

That is Mr. Terrific.

::

Mr. Terrific is a part of it.

::

He's part of the great

::

mirage of heroes that are in this.

::

Hawk Woman, Mr. Terrific, Metamorpho.

::

There's a few heroes that

::

are... Gal... Not...

::

Who's the third Green

::

Lantern that everybody kind

::

of... Guy Gardner.

::

Guy Gardner.

::

Guy Gardner.

::

Jesus Christ.

::

Guy Gardner is also in this too as well.

::

That was part of the

::

people's pickiness about

::

the Superman movie is that

::

we know James Gunn does

::

teen group movies really well.

::

Yep.

::

he obviously he this

::

superman is established in

::

a world where heroes

::

already exist so he

::

surrounded this superman

::

with a bunch like four to

::

five other heroes as well

::

to kind of like double down

::

that it already exists

::

that's so smart because I

::

like it like superman is

::

fine on his own and I i dig

::

the tale of an immigrant

::

story that comes with

::

superman and I've come a

::

long way because injustice

::

the injustice take on

::

superman and how that

::

unfolded used to be my

::

favorite superman story

::

But now like the more I've

::

learned about Superman from Marcus,

::

by the way,

::

like Marcus is like the driving factor.

::

That's the only reason I

::

watched that anime on Max,

::

which was so heartfelt.

::

It's so good.

::

Right.

::

My adventures with Superman.

::

Yes.

::

I want season two right now.

::

Yeah.

::

And finished that.

::

I mean, it's just so heartfelt.

::

It's so genuine.

::

And I think one of the

::

things that James Gunn can

::

nail about this is that

::

Superman exists in this

::

world where all this other

::

bad stuff is happening,

::

but he's still being the hopeful one,

::

being like, you know what?

::

It's going to be all right.

::

It's going to be all right.

::

We're going to figure this out.

::

And it's like, yeah,

::

we could use a little bit

::

of that right now.

::

I'd be okay with that.

::

So I think surrounding him

::

with a team is going to contrast him

::

a bit more.

::

And I think that's a really,

::

I think that's a really good thing.

::

I think the more contrast Superman has,

::

the more exciting his story can be.

::

But that's just me.

::

I mean,

::

the team aspect of... And the team

::

aspect is more like... I

::

think James Gunn... Not I think.

::

He said this.

::

He's going for the hope approach, right?

::

You actually might see this

::

motherfucker Superman save

::

a cat from a tree like

::

Christopher Reeve Superman.

::

But the other heroes around

::

him are going to look... It

::

feels like are going to

::

look to this Superman as

::

the point of hope of it's

::

okay to be a hero and stand

::

for the things that you want to,

::

which is what...

::

Superman should be he is

::

this light of hope I loved

::

Zack Snyder's version for

::

what it was but I don't

::

think I need to see the

::

black suit death of

::

Superman storyline again

::

for a while like at least

::

not in the movie right so

::

give me the other route

::

where he is like all-star

::

Superman like that kind of

::

route we're putting the

::

hope back into lives yeah

::

you know if you haven't

::

read all-star Superman

::

that's probably my it's

::

it's one of my favorite

::

like it's a good run

::

graphic novels uh

::

collections just amazing

::

Now, I would have loved people,

::

and I only got this from

::

people posting the pictures more,

::

Robert Pattinson with David Cornswith,

::

because I think that those

::

two would have paired well

::

as this grumpy-ass Batman

::

and this hopeful-ass Superman.

::

They're around the same age limit.

::

It would take a while to get

::

their worlds to collide,

::

that Matt Reeves world with

::

that hopeful Superman,

::

and it takes a balance when you

::

put them on the screen

::

together because Matt

::

Reeves world is really

::

really dark and James Gunn

::

seems like it's going to be

::

more Guardians of the

::

Galaxy kind of like

::

lightish but I do people

::

were doing their side by

::

sides and I was like that's

::

not that wouldn't have been

::

bad like that wouldn't have

::

been too terrible I mean

::

I'm not I'm not opposed I'm

::

glad they didn't it should

::

be it's own thing I'm not

::

opposed I also think that you need to

::

I think if you're going to

::

build a world where other

::

folks are looking to Superman to be hope,

::

I think you need to leave

::

the curmudgeon in his own

::

space for a minute.

::

I agree.

::

And I don't know.

::

That chemistry between Corn

::

Sweat and Pattinson,

::

I don't know how that would have...

::

played I don't know because

::

like I think the thing that

::

makes now I want to watch

::

the batman again um the

::

thing that makes pattinson

::

so compelling is because

::

like he's just so far

::

retreated into himself he's

::

not this grumpy ben affleck

::

who who's letting it know

::

that it's everybody's

::

problem right like

::

pattinson's just like he's

::

like the he's like the

::

really introverted guy at

::

the party who's like

::

want to be there he doesn't

::

want to talk to anybody

::

he's there for some reason

::

though and when you do try

::

to talk to him it's like

::

clearly no one you don't

::

want to talk to anybody I'm

::

going to leave you alone

::

like that's the vibe he has

::

and I think that would be

::

really hard to bring out in

::

this type of dynamic but it

::

all I mean I guess it could

::

have worked but I think I'm

::

also like because of the

::

zack snyder movies like I'm

::

good I don't see that interaction

::

for sure again super soon

::

and I wouldn't be surprised

::

at all I would not be

::

surprised at all if james

::

gunn has some very thorough

::

plans for his own batman oh

::

his verse his batman is uh

::

is already a dad like

::

they're going with brave

::

and the bold where damien

::

already is like damien's

::

the introduction which

::

means you've had a few

::

robins which means you've

::

you've had a nightwing

::

you've had a jason they did

::

announce that I forget what

::

they had yeah yeah

::

Yeah.

::

And he said his Batman is

::

going to be like a few

::

years older than this Superman,

::

which like it makes sense.

::

And again,

::

I think that that's going to work really,

::

really well with where with

::

where he's trying to take it, because.

::

If you're having a younger

::

Superman who's maybe a little bit more,

::

yes, there's a world of heroes.

::

Yes, he's new on the scene.

::

He's sort of giving them

::

this idea of they can hope again, right,

::

that they will all – that

::

the world will be the place

::

that they want it to be.

::

I think you need someone on

::

the other side who's a little bit older.

::

And I say other side because

::

we want to see them play

::

off of each other, right?

::

We want to see them that

::

like that tit for tat back

::

and forth that Doug and Marcus,

::

if you will, of like, of like,

::

of like I want someone to be

::

like your hopes only going

::

to get you so far like what

::

are you going to do when

::

like what are you going to

::

do like what's your backup

::

plan well I'll just do my

::

best what if your best

::

isn't good like you need

::

that sort of juxtaposition

::

but you need to let those

::

ideas breathe and if you

::

jam them together like

::

action figures too quickly

::

yeah it might look really

::

cool but it's just not

::

going to be the way you

::

want it to be you get a

::

Transformers type situation

::

where it's like that's

::

really cool alright

::

Cool.

::

Why are they fighting?

::

Because they're big robots, man.

::

And the biggest thing here,

::

and that was all for my news,

::

is really just those pictures.

::

The biggest thing between,

::

I know we are not there yet.

::

Ethan James Gunn said they

::

haven't even started the

::

process for casting Batman.

::

Yeah.

::

I'm just really excited for this Superman.

::

The chemistry of the Superman.

::

Give me the Superman that I grew up with,

::

with Christopher Reeves.

::

I can watch that movie a thousand times.

::

Give me some hope.

::

Give me some good music behind it.

::

The way that Metropolis is

::

crafting together,

::

it looks like the city of tomorrow.

::

So it looks like this future

::

past Metropolis, big-ass city.

::

So that's going to be fun.

::

As far as the Batman route is concerned,

::

I want people to remember,

::

although it's kind of like

::

the similar way that they

::

always write Superman,

::

the easiest way for people

::

to write Superman that

::

don't understand Superman

::

is to make him evil, right?

::

Yes.

::

The easiest way to write the

::

compelling relationship

::

between Batman and Superman

::

is to always pair them as

::

like complete opposites and villains.

::

But there's something that

::

they're besties.

::

If you really are looking

::

for their relationship,

::

they are best friends.

::

And they say that because of

::

they understand why they

::

are the opposites of each

::

other and why they need each other.

::

So you need you need both sides.

::

There are two sides of the same coin.

::

It's why Superman doesn't

::

always go to fucking Gotham

::

to stop up all the crime

::

because Gotham needs Batman.

::

And it's why Batman doesn't

::

go to Metropolis because

::

Metropolis needs a Superman,

::

not a fucking Batman going

::

and beating the shit out of

::

people in broad daylight.

::

Yeah, that wouldn't work.

::

It just wouldn't work.

::

Yeah.

::

Yeah.

::

No.

::

And I think that's an

::

excellent I think that's an

::

excellent point because you're right.

::

They they have a trust that

::

you wouldn't find between

::

most superhero pairs.

::

Like and I do think that

::

that's always really, really cool.

::

I mean,

::

they both know each other's secret

::

identities.

::

They both there's this level

::

of like trust in the other

::

person of like we just

::

disagree on the way you get it done.

::

Like that's which is fine.

::

And the animated show,

::

and maybe I picked up on it

::

too much as a kid,

::

but it always felt like, to me,

::

the vibe was like,

::

when they were trying to

::

solve these problems together,

::

it always felt like Batman

::

could always kind of see

::

this glimmer of hope in

::

himself when he was paired with Superman,

::

and then Superman...

::

on the opposite was just

::

kind of like I could just I

::

could just like turn like

::

go super dark like Batman

::

but I don't want to but I

::

can see that being around

::

this guy so they they

::

brought out these different

::

shades in each other I also

::

just like them like solving

::

mysteries together that was

::

just super enjoyable

::

I'm not saying that's what

::

that movie should be or

::

what the next Justice League should be,

::

but that was an element

::

that I thought Superman

::

paired well with because, yeah,

::

Superman can literally fly

::

through a building,

::

but Batman's the one that's like, hey,

::

did you look at that

::

footprint that your building fell on?

::

Can we maybe just look at it for a second?

::

I feel like that's just such a good...

::

I get good vibes from it is

::

what I'm trying to say.

::

So I'm really,

::

I'm very excited for the Superman movie.

::

I'm very excited to see

::

these heroes that he's

::

being paired up with.

::

I think it's going to,

::

I think this could be

::

something really special.

::

Going Mr. Terrific is such a

::

niche fucking hero,

::

but that's such a smart-ass

::

route to go if you really

::

know Mr. Terrific.

::

That's my only concern.

::

If I'm airing out the things

::

that I'm worried about,

::

I'm worried that some...

::

I'm not worried about his

::

ability to do it.

::

I'm worried about audiences receiving it.

::

I'm not worried about...

::

this group, this group,

::

like the three of us,

::

or anybody who listens to

::

this podcast for that matter.

::

I'm listening to somebody who's like, Oh,

::

his new Superman movie.

::

I love Christopher Reeve.

::

Let me walk in.

::

And they don't know Mr. Terrific.

::

They don't know that there

::

are three different green lanterns.

::

They don't understand some

::

of that niche stuff.

::

And I'm I'm worried that

::

they just I'm worried.

::

I'm just worried about how

::

that's received because I

::

want this movie to do well.

::

It's not because I don't

::

think James Gunn can't handle it.

::

I just want to make sure

::

that it's it's all done.

::

It's.

::

It sounds weird to say it's consumable,

::

but I want it to make sense,

::

and I want it to track so

::

it can be followed.

::

And think about how Guardians was crafted,

::

too.

::

Now,

::

there's obviously some dispute exactly

::

of what James Gunn wrote in

::

there and what was originally from him,

::

but taking that aside,

::

he did direct the film,

::

and I feel like...

::

bringing all these types of

::

characters... Rocket

::

Raccoon was not known.

::

Not a household name.

::

And then he became a main

::

character in Endgame,

::

which I feel like shows the

::

power of James Gunn.

::

I feel like if he brings

::

that same energy to this Superman movie,

::

where it's not like...

::

Zack Snyder right it would

::

be like this is Wonder

::

Woman here's her theme song

::

look at her go and like we

::

spend like a solid three

::

minutes you know doing the

::

whole like Hans Zimmer like

::

whatever but like in

::

Guardians right it's like

::

here's this raccoon and

::

he's trying to catch a guy

::

and here's Dree isn't that

::

silly look at these two

::

they're silly they're silly

::

together like there's a

::

green lady what's her deal

::

you know and like and then

::

it would pan over to Gamora yeah

::

you know right like that was

::

the vibe of james gunn

::

though in that opening like

::

uh I don't even know where

::

they were they were like in

::

an open market square when

::

they all get captured by

::

the novas and guardians of

::

the galaxy but it's like

::

that was they were on nova

::

prime I feel like yeah they

::

were that he was going

::

there to like sell the

::

infinity he was there to

::

like sell the infinity stone

::

yeah and it wasn't like

::

these grand intro star

::

lord's the only one that

::

gets a grand introduction

::

and and they make fun of

::

them for it right so I feel

::

like if it's that type of

::

energy I think yeah cool

::

yeah yeah I agree yeah agreed I agree

::

Anything else anybody wanted

::

to chat about on news this week?

::

I had one more item that I

::

wanted to talk about.

::

This piece of news came out June 13th,

::

but Variety reported

::

exclusively that Dwayne

::

Johnson and Danny Garcia's

::

Seven Bucks production

::

studio signed a Disney

::

first look deal to develop

::

theatrical equipment.

::

and streaming films.

::

And if you're not familiar

::

with a first look deal,

::

basically what that means

::

is that anything seven

::

bucks wants to produce or

::

make Disney gets the first

::

shot at distributing it,

::

owning those release rights,

::

getting it to Disney plus

::

having that first opportunity to buy it,

::

which basically means that seven bucks is,

::

is going to be closely

::

affiliated with Disney from here on out.

::

I wanted to say this because

::

in a previous episode, we called this.

::

We talked about this in the

::

chat a little bit,

::

but we talked about this a

::

few months ago about how Dwayne Johnson,

::

we didn't know where he was

::

going after WB, after Black Adam.

::

And we made a whole joke

::

about how Dwayne Johnson

::

would get a Disney Plus series.

::

We did.

::

I forgot.

::

Talking about blowing stuff

::

up and it would just be a reality show.

::

And we said, oh man,

::

how wild would that be?

::

Anyway,

::

now Seven Bucks has a first look deal.

::

I swear, I swear,

::

if there's a reality show

::

where Dwayne Johnson's

::

talking to people and he's like, hey,

::

what are you going to blow up today?

::

I'm like, I'm going to blow up this drone.

::

He's like, all right, let's see it.

::

I'll quit.

::

I've got nothing left to

::

predict with my life.

::

I'm going to turn into Miss Cleo.

::

Y'all don't have to start paying me,

::

goddammit.

::

99 cents a minute.

::

We're going to get a nice

::

board in front of us that we'll touch.

::

Anyway,

::

so we called this earlier this year.

::

What is our tally mark?

::

It's $3.99 because $4 seems too high.

::

But $3.99 that I can... $3.99 plus tax,

::

though.

::

Guys,

::

I'm focusing on all the wrong things.

::

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

::

It's been weird for me.

::

We need to make a board.

::

And I think I am going to

::

start a board on Padlet of

::

what our predictions are

::

and when they're confirmed

::

or not confirmed.

::

Because this is like the

::

third time this has happened to us.

::

This is like the... No, no, no.

::

This is like the fifth.

::

And this is no exaggeration.

::

Since we started this fucking podcast...

::

We've called everything.

::

Our media literacy is at a fucking 99.

::

We call every fucking thing.

::

It's like this is the fifth

::

time this has legitimately happened.

::

Yeah.

::

I mean,

::

it started with Zack Snyder getting

::

his own directors.

::

I mean, that was the very first one.

::

We did.

::

That's insane.

::

We should go through it.

::

That'd be fucking crazy.

::

That's right.

::

Yeah, I...

::

You know what?

::

Good for him.

::

I mean, this motherfucker can't miss.

::

Like, he can't miss.

::

Somehow, when you think he's down,

::

he gets right back up again.

::

Here's the thing, though.

::

The Rock is still the Rock,

::

even after the WB failure.

::

And to be honest,

::

I'm just being honest with you,

::

part of that was his fault

::

if he kind of shitted on

::

people to get what he wanted.

::

I don't know that.

::

I can't confirm that.

::

That's kind of what was hinted at.

::

If that is true, you got to eat that.

::

You know what I mean?

::

You got to suffer that.

::

Also,

::

WB was already a shit show and DC was

::

a shit show.

::

It was just like that was bound to fail.

::

Whether your execs was like

::

it just was bound to fail.

::

I think that The Rock is a hustler.

::

And what I've seen him do

::

with wrestling WWE,

::

I don't think that The Rock

::

is too prideful to make himself a loser.

::

you know what I mean and

::

kind of make himself an

::

example in the show I've

::

learned my lesson I've seen

::

it when he did wwe with

::

roman reigns and he did it

::

with cody and he did it

::

with like this new story

::

that kind of boosted

::

wrestlemania 40 and now I'm

::

watching even more

::

wrestlemania which is about

::

to go solely on netflix

::

like primary they're about

::

to be showing they're going

::

uncensored on netflix which

::

is about to be crazy

::

because the storylines are

::

fucking fantastic

::

Roman Reigns was on the bloodline.

::

Now his cousin Solo has

::

taken over the bloodline.

::

And he's the new leader of the bloodline.

::

And there's a whole thing with that now.

::

It's really dope.

::

But I think The Rock is a hustler.

::

You get Moana.

::

If Moana 2 pops off,

::

that's a billion dollars.

::

Live action Moana.

::

If that pops off,

::

that's a whole nother amount of money.

::

And now you can kind of just

::

make The Rock be whatever

::

you want in your Marvel...

::

DC, I mean your Marvel and whatever else,

::

animation, discovery, all of that shit.

::

He might come up as a

::

fucking Jedi if he wants to.

::

He's got two things that I

::

think are I think he's got

::

two things that he does

::

mentally and I think that

::

give him an edge when you

::

compare him to others.

::

I think the first is he's

::

got good business sense.

::

He's able to see an opportunity

::

And I'm not saying this is like, oh,

::

he's taking advantage of people.

::

I'm saying this is like a positive.

::

He can see an opportunity

::

where other people see a failure.

::

And so the XFL is a great example.

::

He bought the XFL.

::

Got it to a point where

::

people were excited about

::

it and then sold off his section of it,

::

I'm pretty sure.

::

Did he sell it?

::

Oh, he sold it.

::

When it merged with the

::

American football league.

::

Yes.

::

Or whatever it is.

::

So think about that.

::

You took something that

::

everybody counted out.

::

that was awful when it

::

initially came out turned

::

it around made it into

::

something legitimate put

::

your name behind it and

::

then now you come out on

::

top yeah based on that that

::

is that is incredible

::

business sense the rock is

::

a fucking brand is it is

::

impeccable yes the second

::

thing I'll say is he's I

::

mean he's an athlete he

::

learns from his mistakes he

::

grew up playing football he

::

was involved in

::

professional wrestling and

::

whether you think the

::

storylines are fake all of that

::

takes practice.

::

You don't take a bump in

::

wrestling and get up if

::

you're doing it wrong.

::

They have to practice it.

::

It is so stylized that it

::

needs to be practiced and

::

rehearsed so people are safe.

::

If you...

::

fuck up your shoulder

::

because you didn't land

::

right when you were taking a bump.

::

Yeah.

::

Guess what?

::

You're not going to do that again.

::

So like,

::

there's this portion of it where

::

like he learns from his mistakes.

::

And I think he, what he did was,

::

is he just said, yeah, why not?

::

What do I have?

::

I got to lose it.

::

Disney passes on it.

::

Maybe my shit will be so good.

::

Someone else will pick it up.

::

I see you, Brian.

::

The third piece is like,

::

the he's proud of the shit

::

that he puts out yes and so

::

like it's like if he's

::

gonna get behind something

::

he's not gonna half-ass the

::

brand and he's also I think

::

he's really good at not

::

doing too much at once I

::

think kevin hart kind of

::

had that issue at one part

::

for me is like I felt like

::

kevin hart was trying to do

::

every thing in the world

::

every every role that

::

needed comedic relief

::

And it wasn't even just, like,

::

tiny guy comedic relief.

::

And I'm not saying that as a dig.

::

Like, that's a legit role.

::

Like, ask, you know, Joe Pesci.

::

Like,

::

any of those roles immediately went

::

to Kevin Hart.

::

And I don't... Like, he was everywhere.

::

He's a hustler, too.

::

Or, like, funny...

::

Harrison and I,

::

the kids and I watched a

::

movie on Friday night that

::

he was in and I was like, holy shit,

::

that's Kevin Hart.

::

It was the Captain Underpants movie.

::

He played the voice of one

::

of the kids in that and I was like,

::

oh my god.

::

So he played,

::

he had that voice and that

::

way of talking and that he

::

just had it down to his

::

science and he was just everywhere.

::

So shout out to The Rock.

::

Get your money, dog.

::

I ain't mad at you.

::

Go ahead and get your Disney paycheck.

::

I feel like a nice Disney

::

paycheck or a couple of

::

them will get you right.

::

You can sail off into the

::

fucking sunset after that.

::

And if you want to come on this podcast,

::

we'd love to have you.

::

Yeah, bring your bag of weights.

::

Protein shakes.

::

Yep.

::

Also, Disney is- Wait, what did you say,

::

Brian?

::

I said protein shakes.

::

You gotta drink all that protein.

::

Okay, wait,

::

can I say something before Brian goes?

::

This is random as hell.

::

Air One, the store,

::

there's a new shake that's going around.

::

It's from Hailey Bieber.

::

The bitch costs, not her, the shake,

::

the bitch costs $19.

::

I'm sorry, where is this?

::

It's in a store called Air One.

::

It's like one of those fancy ass LA types,

::

like big,

::

all healthy type of ingredients

::

and shit like that,

::

like Whole Foods type of shit,

::

like a high, high, high Trader Joe's.

::

It's on my TikTok feed.

::

So Brian said protein shake.

::

This shake is like a

::

strawberry and cream shake

::

with all the ingredients

::

made by Haley Bieber.

::

And the shit is $19, like $22 plus tax.

::

And I would also like to

::

point out to everybody that

::

they're selling it at a

::

health food store.

::

And this is your friendly

::

reminder to remind you that

::

just because it's sold at a

::

health food store doesn't

::

mean that it has nine.

::

It doesn't have 900 calories.

::

And at the end of it

::

probably isn't all that great for you.

::

So read your fucking labels

::

before you go ordering shit.

::

They said it's good, though.

::

That's fine.

::

It can be good,

::

but you're going to hawk

::

off essentially what we

::

would call a milkshake if

::

it was sold in a diner as a

::

piece of health food store stuff.

::

Maybe this is like the

::

suburban dad jumping out.

::

I didn't mean to yell at you, Marcus.

::

I took that out on you.

::

White Ranger mask is coming on right now.

::

He's hiding his White Ranger mask.

::

$19?

::

No.

::

Plus tax?

::

No.

::

I don't even know who Hailey Bieber is.

::

Oh, is she with Justin Bieber?

::

Yeah.

::

This is why we don't do celebrity news.

::

We don't.

::

He'll be like,

::

can you believe Veronica who's dating?

::

I'd be like, who the fuck is Veronica?

::

I don't even know who that is.

::

Sorry.

::

Go ahead, Brian.

::

No, no, it's fine.

::

I'm just kind of like $19.

::

I can feed like three people

::

in my family for $19.

::

I could feed myself for a

::

week at the very least.

::

I mean, okay.

::

Do you know how much Rice

::

Krispies and cereal are?

::

I could eat that shit for a week,

::

like twice for $20.

::

Please don't do that.

::

You eat plain Rice Krispies?

::

Yeah, man.

::

No sugar?

::

No.

::

I've eaten plain Rice

::

Krispies before just to

::

finish off the box.

::

But I wouldn't go to the

::

grocery store and be like,

::

Rice Krispies time.

::

I wouldn't either.

::

Not unless it was like the chocolate.

::

Slowly moving out of frame.

::

We'll see if his headphones

::

allow him to do that.

::

Bring your ass back with the microphone,

::

Lou.

::

Well, I mean,

::

we had a candy bar showdown last week.

::

Maybe we need to do a bonus

::

episode about cereal.

::

We could do it.

::

Ooh, Brian.

::

And here's the alliteration.

::

The breakfast bowl.

::

Breakdown.

::

Ooh, I like that.

::

I like that.

::

You know, triple B!

::

I think that's the next bracket.

::

Even if it's not a bonus episode, because,

::

yeah, it feels good.

::

D-Diggle.

::

D-Diggle.

::

D-Diggle.

::

It's a D-Diggle production.

::

Dee Diggle, bitch.

::

Dee Diggle, spin that shit.

::

Oh my God.

::

Did you spin?

::

Oh, by the way,

::

that hot girl is everywhere.

::

She can come on the podcast.

::

I want to hear how her life is.

::

I want to see how something so egregious,

::

something that is like not,

::

like that's like not

::

traditional mainstream hot tour.

::

Oh my God.

::

I had to Google that the other day.

::

On your phone, right?

::

Not your work computer?

::

No, it was not.

::

It was not the work account.

::

They say if she doesn't hawk to her,

::

I don't talk to her.

::

Oh, shit.

::

::

Thank you, Roman.

::

Big shout out to everybody

::

in the chat today.

::

So 100%.

::

Brian, what is our first step, sir?

::

Hey, folks.

::

I'm here to tell you to read a book.

::

And I want you to find a

::

book that you just can't put down.

::

Because that happened to me.

::

I finished all of the Invincible comics.

::

Damn.

::

Let me take that back.

::

Compendium 1, 2, and 3.

::

I found out there's another

::

compendium of side stories.

::

But I finished the main story.

::

When I tell you that I just

::

started reading and I couldn't stop,

::

that's such a glorious feeling.

::

And I want that for you.

::

Find that book for you.

::

Go read a book and get lost for hours.

::

Read a book.

::

Absolutely.

::

Marcus,

::

care to run us down that second step,

::

sir?

::

Make sure you drink some water.

::

Treat yourself to the nice stuff.

::

Go get yourself some Voss.

::

Go get yourself some Fiji.

::

Whatever you do.

::

filter the water make sure

::

you're not drinking that

::

grainy rocky stuff but get

::

that water flowing through

::

you man it's the summertime

::

and it's hot baby so you

::

got to make sure you stay hydrated yeah

::

Our third step, it's hot.

::

Marcus said it.

::

You're sweating when you go

::

outside to get your newspaper.

::

You need to make sure that

::

you wash your ass.

::

Scrub the day off before you

::

lay down for tomorrow

::

because you don't want to

::

take it with you.

::

You want a chance to reset.

::

It's too shower season.

::

You might need to do that

::

like 102 degrees.

::

You might need to take one

::

twice just to freshen off

::

at the start of the day and

::

the end of the day.

::

Wash your legs.

::

That's important.

::

Wash the parts of your body.

::

Just don't let the water run over it.

::

But most importantly, you know,

::

wash your ass.

::

Yeah.

::

Get two showers in.

::

Yeah.

::

And put pictures of yourself

::

up in the shower of doing

::

the things you're proud of.

::

That could mean so many things.

::

It could.

::

It could.

::

Whatever you're proud of.

::

I didn't say I was proud of it.

::

It's true.

::

Anyway,

::

that does it for this week's

::

episode of Films in Black and White.

::

We'll be back next week with

::

another outstanding episode.

::

But in the meantime, in the between time,

::

stay safe, stay healthy.

::

We love y'all.

::

We appreciate y'all.

::

We will catch y'all next week.

::

Bye.

::

Bye.

::

Green M&M, the lesbian icon.

::

Yeah, I looked that up.

::

Shout out to Mia.

::

I gotta look that up too.

::

I'm very curious about that.

::

Be careful.

::

But like, educationally curious.

::

Yeah, for sure, for sure.

::

On the wiki, there's an M&M's wiki.

::

Did you know this?

::

I didn't know this.

::

I did not know that.

::

Apparently on the wiki,

::

the brown M&M is a

::

significant other with the green M&M.

::

Oh, damn!

::

This is deep lore, folks.

::

No shit.

::

I don't know.

::

I don't know.

::

I gotta verify this.

::

Okay, look it up.

::

People just post whatever

::

they want on the internet.

::

On Al Gore's internet.

::

Which struggles for Doug,

::

but for everybody else.

::

You open up two tabs and

::

suddenly your life ends.

::

How is there an M&M's Wiki?
