Episode 29

Wrestling, Gawker, and Batman aka "Hulk Hogan's House"

Published on: 7th August, 2024

This is a Marcus and Doug original everybody! We are without our third heat, so we had a bit of a rocky start. BUT we overcame those trials and did an outstanding episode. This week on the pod....

We play our weekly game of catch that quotable. Marcus breaks down the matches at Summer Slam, and lets his wrestling flag fly, high and proud. Doug tells us why he is excited for the latest Ben Affleck/Matt Damon movie. We talk about the latest Amazon Prime series Batman: Caped Crusader. We breakdown some recent statements by comedy legend Vince Vaughn. Finally, we talk about a movie that was just announced but is already a hit!

::

Marcus is going to break down Rasslin.

::

Rasslin and Batman from Marcus.

::

That's what we got.

::

But separate, not together.

::

That could be.

::

Um, but Marcus, uh, Oh,

::

Brian is not here because

::

he is spending some much

::

deserved time with some

::

family in Maryland.

::

He's currently trying to get

::

into the white house.

::

I don't know.

::

No, don't, don't, no, don't say that.

::

I know, but you know,

::

don't say it's out of context.

::

It sounds bad.

::

No.

::

I don't want to provide any context.

::

I want our listeners to

::

think about how is Brian

::

trying to get into the White House?

::

Is he trying to get a tour?

::

Is he just trying to sneak in there?

::

I mean, thus far,

::

I have seen no alerts come up on CNN,

::

so I can only assume that

::

they have not found him yet.

::

So I feel like if Brian was

::

to Brian is the first

::

person that I think could

::

bring to life national treasure.

::

In real life Smart enough to

::

like deduct the clues And

::

find like the back Like the

::

underground tunnels and all

::

of that Shout out to

::

Harriet Shout out to

::

Harriet And also polite

::

enough That if somebody

::

caught him they'd be like

::

ah get out of here he'd be

::

like he's like oh boy howdy

::

you found me um well sorry

::

about that and so they'd be

::

like here's all your jewels

::

here's all your jewels that

::

I found hey I took what I

::

needed from the uh bill of

::

rights uh the back of it so

::

There was a stain on there.

::

I cleaned that up.

::

If he did get to Joe Biden

::

and tell him to listen to the podcast,

::

welcome to the pod, Joe.

::

We're happy to have you.

::

Just put it in when you're

::

playing your sleeping

::

sounds and rain music in the White House,

::

and this will be your sweet

::

nothings to serenade it.

::

Biden's sweet nothings.

::

Yeah, Biden's sweet nothings.

::

::

Just sit down.

::

Put your feet up.

::

You can take a relax.

::

but who addresses you?

::

::

Yes, that's exactly what I became.

::

But Marcus, OTC returns.

::

How are you feeling, sir?

::

I'm feeling good.

::

has returned to wrestling.

::

imminently arriving listen it's over

::

I hate to say it.

::

It's over.

::

Summer is over.

::

It's done.

::

We had meetings today about moving in.

::

I have org trainings this week.

::

I met with Doug the most professionally,

::

I think,

::

more than when he worked here in

::

the span of...

::

Yeah, that's not.

::

No, no, no.

::

But I've been meeting with Doug a lot,

::

like because he is like our

::

person that we go to for a

::

lot of programs that we use,

::

this program that we use

::

for the student orgs.

::

And he knows all of the

::

projects we kind of have in

::

motion and like we've got

::

somebody to kind of be the

::

lead as my supervisor to

::

kind of take us to the next

::

level and everything like that.

::

And who knows USD involved as well,

::

which is super, super helpful.

::

But it's time.

::

It is that time.

::

We don't have anything left.

::

People are moving in this weekend.

::

It's over.

::

Yeah.

::

Well, enjoy it.

::

I mean, this last week, I mean,

::

the Clay County Fair is in town.

::

So if you want to...

::

Yee-haw it up at that.

::

You can do that.

::

Usually I'm a fan of yee-haw.

::

I don't know if that's my kind of yee-haw.

::

I also don't think that

::

that's my kind of yee-haw.

::

I don't think it's my kind of yee-haw.

::

But I will say I'm excited

::

for the students to get back.

::

I am excited for everybody.

::

It's been a good summer.

::

I'll tell you this, kiddos.

::

For those that are listening,

::

listen to your elders when

::

they tell you don't rush to grow up.

::

Yeah, it's a con.

::

It's a con.

::

It's a racket.

::

Yeah.

::

Get a job.

::

Get a house.

::

Have a couple of kids.

::

The next thing you know,

::

they're telling you stuff like, hey, dad,

::

I don't want you to cuddle me.

::

I want mom to cuddle me.

::

And you're just going to

::

have to go to bed with that fact.

::

And that's the thing that

::

happened to me today.

::

Do you want me to elaborate?

::

Let me tell this story.

::

So it was my turn to put

::

Harper to bed last night,

::

and Brittany and I rotate.

::

We rotate the kids,

::

so we each get a little bit

::

of time at the end of the

::

day with each kid.

::

And it ends up coming out in

::

the month to be about even,

::

which is nice.

::

It's important for that.

::

But last night,

::

after we're done reading books,

::

we usually lay with the kid

::

until they go to sleep.

::

And Harper sighs twice, and I went like...

::

Am I, like, bothering you?

::

Like, what is happening?

::

And she goes...

::

I just want to sleep by myself.

::

And I went, what?

::

And she was like, I was like,

::

but mom cuddles you.

::

He goes, yeah,

::

that's because I like it

::

when mom cuddles me.

::

And I was like,

::

and then for those that don't know,

::

for podcasts,

::

usually I have to put Harper

::

to bed so I have time to

::

get here on time.

::

And Brittany puts Harrison to bed.

::

She got upset that I was

::

going to read her books again.

::

And I said, well,

::

what if I don't stay and cuddle you?

::

Then she was like, okay,

::

you can read books then.

::

So she was like...

::

She's like, man, she was like,

::

she was cutting me to my core.

::

She cut you deep.

::

Real deep.

::

What do you think that is?

::

Is it just like.

::

It's just, I mean, it's the age.

::

Okay.

::

Give it a year or two and

::

she'll be asking where I'm at.

::

So like, it's fine.

::

Yeah.

::

I would not know what to do

::

if my only daughter.

::

I probably would have started crying.

::

Also, it's Harper.

::

It's also par for the course for her.

::

That's just kind of who she

::

is as a human being.

::

Except when we went to

::

Thursday on the Plots and

::

we linked up at Thursday on the Plots,

::

Doug went to go grab a

::

drink and the kids were like,

::

Harrison was playing in the inflatable.

::

Harper was eating her food

::

and I was just watching and

::

making sure they was okay.

::

Harper asked me three times, excuse me,

::

where's my dad?

::

And I said, first time I was like, oh,

::

he went to go get a drink.

::

He's like over there.

::

And then she was like, okay.

::

And she went to eat and she

::

came back and she said, excuse me,

::

I don't see my dad.

::

And I was like, well, all right.

::

I know what the second time means.

::

My favorite is the excuse me.

::

Like you're a stranger.

::

Like she's never seen you before.

::

Like she didn't hug me

::

initially when I walked over there.

::

Right, right.

::

Like, hey, you, buddy.

::

Yeah.

::

Where's my dad at?

::

Where is my dad?

::

Why am I sitting here with

::

you eating the hot dog?

::

And my answer was, you know what?

::

You got a valid point.

::

He's over there.

::

He's just over there.

::

He'll be right back.

::

He obviously trusted me enough,

::

but here we are.

::

I immediately started

::

panicking because I was like, uh-oh.

::

Once a kid starts asking

::

where their dad is –

::

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

::

But Marcus,

::

we have a game that we need to

::

play called Catch That Quotable.

::

Catch that quotable.

::

Silky sounds, Marcus J. Marcus,

::

are you ready for this week's quote?

::

Hit me.

::

All right, here we go.

::

This is a copyrighted movie

::

for Time Warner.

::

If I find you've sold it on eBay,

::

I will break into your

::

house and tear your wife in half.

::

What?

::

What?

::

This is a copyrighted movie

::

for Time Warner.

::

If I find you've sold it on eBay,

::

I will break into your

::

house and tear your wife in half.

::

Okay, this feels so extra.

::

It feels like Will Ferrell.

::

Wait, wait, wait.

::

You want me to sing it?

::

This is a copyrighted movie

::

for Time Warner.

::

If I find you've sold it on eBay,

::

I'll break into your house

::

and tear your wife in half.

::

Tear your wife in half?

::

Wife, like the someone you're married to.

::

You want me to scream it?

::

Oh, God.

::

What?

::

Listen, who's making these requests?

::

I don't know.

::

I don't know.

::

I was going to try it,

::

but it wasn't going to work.

::

You want me to sing it?

::

You want me to scream it?

::

You want me to do it in a southern accent?

::

No.

::

You want me to do it like

::

I'm from New Orleans?

::

No.

::

He asked me to.

::

He's a Patreon member.

::

Okay, so sing it and screamo.

::

It's a hint.

::

Okay.

::

Live action or cartoon?

::

I don't know.

::

Screamo.

::

I mean,

::

the only movie that I can think of

::

that would, but it's got,

::

and it's sort of a comedy.

::

It's one of the best movie intros.

::

Oh, Jesus.

::

Oh, God.

::

Is this, this is, no, no, no.

::

It's meta,

::

because if it's a Time Warner thing,

::

it's got to be a super meta movie.

::

We're also out of time.

::

We are also out of time.

::

The only movie I can think

::

of that's related to

::

singing that would have any type of like,

::

like heavy metal type of

::

undertones to it is the

::

movie with Brendan Fraser

::

and Adam Sandler and Steve

::

Buscemi called airheads.

::

And that is the only movie I can think of.

::

So that is the only guest that I have.

::

That's a very good guess

::

because that feels very specific.

::

My mind went to animated and

::

like Time Warner is such an old,

::

it reminds me of Scooby-Doo.

::

So then he says Screamo,

::

then I thought of Kiss.

::

So like there was like a

::

crossover between like the

::

Kiss band and like a Scooby-Doo movie-ish,

::

but I don't think it gets that meta.

::

And then Rip Your Wife in

::

Half isn't very Scooby-Doo.

::

It's not.

::

I'm just,

::

I'm going to have to just go with

::

Scooby-Doo because I don't

::

have any other guesses.

::

I don't have any other guess.

::

What is it?

::

Oh,

::

this is from the Aqua Teen Hunger Force

::

movie.

::

Yeah.

::

Aqua Teen Hunger Force colon

::

movie film for theaters.

::

God damn it.

::

And it is.

::

It's everything that I thought it was.

::

It is anime.

::

Yep.

::

And it is sang by the heavy

::

metal band Mastodon.

::

So it's actually like a full

::

on heavy metal band that was singing it.

::

So there you go.

::

All right.

::

That is.

::

I love.

::

Shout out to Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

::

Just underrated.

::

Oh my God.

::

Yes.

::

In general.

::

I've been watching.

::

I've been on a binge of Robot Chicken.

::

Oh, yep.

::

That's a great binge.

::

Oh, my God.

::

When I tell you I am dying,

::

I forgot how much I love this show.

::

It is so good.

::

But every show like that,

::

Aqua Teen Hunger Force,

::

that like Adult Swim era of like, yep,

::

I shouldn't be laughing at

::

this comedy is like,

::

that's exactly what I was ready.

::

Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

::

Squid Billies was my like, oh, my God.

::

Yeah, that was crazy.

::

Goodbillies was my jam.

::

Yeah, it was.

::

I don't know if it was like

::

the southern component to

::

it that made me super, super excited.

::

But that one made me like that one.

::

Like,

::

get your hands off the trim like that.

::

My favorite.

::

Like, just I loved every second of that.

::

And then like Space Space Ghost.

::

Yeah.

::

God, those are 2021.

::

Yeah.

::

I went to go Google the

::

shows because it's so many

::

different shows that I like

::

from that 2000 era.

::

So, so good.

::

I have an album that you can listen to.

::

If you really liked that era of music,

::

listen to 2005's The Mouse and the Mask,

::

Danger Mouse and MF Doom.

::

did a whole album,

::

but all of the intros are

::

from Adult Swim shows.

::

My name is... They have one

::

that's just absolutely

::

fantastic called No Names.

::

It's usually a bit of dialogue.

::

Dialogue from C-Lab.

::

They're so good.

::

Listen to that album.

::

It's awesome.

::

I love it.

::

Let's put the link in the

::

description this week.

::

Yeah, absolutely.

::

Spotify only because that's

::

who we shout out to.

::

Yes, that's right.

::

Spotify only.

::

But Marcus,

::

you watched SummerSlam this weekend.

::

I did.

::

What's your update from the mat, sir?

::

What do you got?

::

All right.

::

So I am going to play us a

::

video in just a little bit because...

::

It's going to be pivotal to

::

the explanation.

::

So there were a lot of changes this week,

::

and I want to look it up

::

because there were four

::

title changes over the span

::

of SummerSlam.

::

Oh, my God.

::

All right.

::

I know.

::

I know.

::

That's a lot for a pay-per-view.

::

Quite a few.

::

And so I watched this on –

::

Peacock.

::

Peacock has the Olympics,

::

and they show all of the SummerSlam,

::

so it was me switching between.

::

Two things that could not be

::

more unalike on the same

::

streaming platform.

::

One's very, very real,

::

and one is... One is entertainment.

::

Yeah, one is entertainment.

::

You know what I mean?

::

And I'll give credit to these guys.

::

I know everybody always talk about, oh,

::

they're wrestling in this thing.

::

Why do you watch wrestling?

::

i like wrestling at this

::

point in my life for the

::

performance of it all right

::

one of my new favorite

::

phrases is um the pop okay

::

and so it's like when

::

somebody comes out or

::

something happens there's

::

this giant pop that happens

::

with the crowd how does the

::

crowd react to that what is

::

the size of the pop um so

::

you hear me say that a

::

little bit so here's kind

::

of like what was happening

::

um we had liv morgan um

::

versus rhea ripley

::

for the Women's World Champion title.

::

And Liv Morgan was able to

::

keep and retain her title,

::

but also took Rhea Ripley's man,

::

who was part of... Rhea

::

Ripley is... Let me tell you this.

::

Rhea Ripley is fucking phenomenal.

::

When I say she is a phenomenal athlete,

::

Rhea Ripley is like that.

::

If you ever get a chance to

::

watch her wrestle, she's really good.

::

At one moment,

::

she threw her fucking

::

shoulder out and popped

::

that bitch back in and kept wrestling.

::

Gangsta.

::

Gangsta.

::

Popped that motherfucker

::

right back into place on

::

the announcement table.

::

So that was pretty good.

::

Her partner, boyfriend, who is...

::

His name is Dominic or Dirty

::

Dominic Mysterio saved

::

Ripley from qualification.

::

And basically he turned on his partner.

::

So he left Rhea Ripley for

::

the women's world champion,

::

Liv Morgan at SummerSlam.

::

Yeah.

::

So he with a steel chair.

::

I'm reading this from WWE

::

dot com with a steel chair.

::

He planted in the ring.

::

Mysterio distracted the referee.

::

Seconds later,

::

Morgan hit another oblivion

::

on the steel chair to retain the title.

::

So he did that anyway.

::

Braun Breaker, the next match,

::

Braun Breaker versus Sami Zayn, all right,

::

for the Intercontinental title.

::

Braun Breaker defeated Sami

::

Zayn to win the Intercontinental title.

::

I'm not as familiar with this storyline,

::

but it's just too – I

::

really like the wrestling

::

style of Sami Zayn.

::

But Braun Breaker is a

::

fucking massive human being,

::

like a fucking massive human being,

::

and I think he's a

::

phenomenal wrestler and, like,

::

somebody you should

::

definitely keep your eye on.

::

But I'm just not –

::

Yeah, Sami Zayn,

::

the only reason thing that I'm looking at,

::

and I'm looking at CBS

::

Sports for the results.

::

Apparently,

::

Sami Zayn is the nephew to Scott Steiner.

::

One of the highlights from

::

this match was that he hit

::

a Frankensteiner off the top ropes,

::

which was a ode to his uncle.

::

I love that.

::

So Dominic Mysterio,

::

Dominic is also related to, oh,

::

can you look that up?

::

Because he's related to like

::

this pretty famous wrestler.

::

I forgot his name, but his dad,

::

when you see it, the picture,

::

his name is Dominic Mysterio.

::

He's related to,

::

what the fuck is his name?

::

It's onto my tongue.

::

Is it Ray Mysterio?

::

No, no, no, no.

::

It's, oh, fuck.

::

Hold on, because it's going to bother me.

::

I've got I'm looking it up.

::

OK, thank you.

::

So I'm going to keep going.

::

Like I said, I wasn't really as familiar,

::

but I thought that was a

::

really good match.

::

The next match that I was

::

really invested in because

::

I hadn't heard of any of these women,

::

but they like put on a fucking show.

::

Right.

::

So it was me.

::

Oh, wait, I've got to go back.

::

No, no.

::

His father is Ray Mysterio

::

and his great uncle is Ray Mysterio Sr.,

::

Oh, I didn't.

::

He had his first direct

::

involvement with the WWE

::

when he was eight in 2005,

::

in which a storyline where his father,

::

Ray Mysterio,

::

battled Eddie Guerrero over

::

his legal custody.

::

Oh, oh, it was Eddie Guerrero.

::

That's yeah.

::

Yeah,

::

it was Eddie Guerrero was the other

::

name I was looking for.

::

So, OK, so he is he is.

::

That's pretty cool.

::

All right.

::

I'm gonna keep going.

::

The next match I was super excited about,

::

okay,

::

for personal reasons that I will not

::

share on this podcast, L.A.

::

Knight versus Logan Paul.

::

Mr. L.A.

::

Knight, you know what I mean?

::

That man really knows how to talk his shit,

::

okay?

::

You want somebody you want

::

to watch a monologue of

::

because he just knows how

::

to talk that shit?

::

Yeah!

::

And he can make the whole crowd go, yeah.

::

Like, it's so fucking good.

::

L.A.

::

Knight and him have been

::

hyping up this United

::

States title for a long time.

::

Now, Logan Paul is also really good,

::

and he's a really good

::

wrestler because he's

::

busting some moves I

::

thought was fucking nuts

::

for a guy that you think is like,

::

what is this fucking prime

::

drinking motherfucker doing?

::

He actually can get some

::

really good moves off,

::

and he's a really good wrestler, okay?

::

Oh, shit.

::

Did you see it?

::

When he did that leap off

::

the top rope onto the walkway?

::

Yeah, sweet.

::

And the fucking camera angle

::

and everything is so good.

::

He went over like twice.

::

He did so good.

::

That was awesome.

::

And he's a good heel, right?

::

Because everybody already

::

wants to beat the fuck out of him.

::

Yeah.

::

But my man L.A.

::

Knight,

::

I think this is the first time L.A.

::

Knight beat Logan Paul.

::

And this is the first

::

championship that L.A.

::

Knight has.

::

And I'm so excited for it

::

because I love L.A.

::

Knight.

::

I think that motherfucker is

::

so good and should be primetime.

::

And I don't know.

::

They went back and forth and

::

they had a really good match.

::

That's the one thing I love

::

about wrestling.

::

The storyline only goes two ways.

::

You either get the person

::

who retains their title or

::

you get a person who gets it new.

::

But how you go about it and

::

how you get there, really phenomenal.

::

Next match, Mia Jack.

::

It was, and for reference,

::

LA Knight has been in the

::

business for 21 years,

::

and this is his first main roster belt.

::

That's his first one in 21 years?

::

His first one in 21 years.

::

That's ridiculous.

::

And I think that that's behind...

::

This is well overdue,

::

is what I want to say.

::

I want to play.

::

We're just fucking around this podcast,

::

y'all.

::

Yeah, this is just for funsies.

::

This one is just for funsies.

::

I want to show L.A.

::

Knight his year compilation.

::

All right.

::

So fucking good.

::

I'm just going to play a

::

little bit of this,

::

but I just enjoy everything

::

about LA Knight.

::

And I think that he's like,

::

he's a really cool dude.

::

You know what I mean?

::

Yeah.

::

Yeah.

::

Yeah.

::

Yeah.

::

M L a night.

::

Yeah.

::

Let me talk to you.

::

One of those bottles of prime.

::

Yeah.

::

Money in the bank.

::

Yeah.

::

Long overdue.

::

Yeah.

::

Let me talk to you.

::

Yeah.

::

Shut up.

::

I'm talking.

::

If you don't mind,

::

I got a match to get ready for.

::

Yeah.

::

What the fuck?

::

Yeah.

::

He's just so fucking good.

::

Is that a Wu-Tang symbol in

::

the background?

::

That was a Wu-Tang symbol in

::

the background.

::

Okay.

::

Random and weird, but all right.

::

You know what the fuck's going on.

::

Anyway, LA Knight beat fucking Logan Paul,

::

and I thought that was a

::

really good match.

::

Next match,

::

Nia Jax versus Bayley for the

::

WWE Women's Championship.

::

I'm not really familiar with Bayley.

::

I've seen Nia Jax wrestle once,

::

and she's more of a... I

::

don't know how to describe it.

::

I don't want to be rude,

::

but her wrestling style is very like...

::

big body.

::

So if you look up Nia Jax versus Bayley,

::

they're two completely

::

different body types.

::

Very much so.

::

Very much so.

::

However,

::

props to fucking Bayley because at

::

some point,

::

Bayley puts Nia Jax on her

::

shoulders and does like a

::

super slam into the fucking ring.

::

And it is phenomenal to

::

watch because you know they

::

practice for that.

::

But to be able to put

::

put somebody on your shoulders.

::

She's like five foot nothing.

::

Bailey is five foot nothing.

::

And carried her and slammed her ass.

::

And you can tell, because again,

::

I'm watching some clips.

::

You can tell that

::

the moves and the bumps that

::

they had planned are always

::

are a little bit more

::

challenging given the

::

weight differential.

::

So the fact that they were

::

able to do like the, the big spot.

::

So for those that don't know

::

wrestling terminate like terminology,

::

most of the matches fluid,

::

they plan it around spots.

::

So they plan it around like a, okay, we'll,

::

we'll grapple,

::

I'll throw you down and

::

then we'll get to this moment.

::

So it's more,

::

it's almost like major beats

::

when then they plan the

::

filler sort of on the spot.

::

I like that.

::

I love that, Doug.

::

Way to get into it.

::

All right.

::

Thank you for that.

::

Unfortunately, Nia Jax – well, fortunately,

::

I didn't have a dog in the fight.

::

But Nia Jax won the WWE

::

Women's Championship.

::

She retained her title.

::

Now we're going to kind of

::

heat up here a little bit.

::

Drew McIntyre versus CM Punk

::

with a special guest referee,

::

Seth freaking Rollins.

::

And so basically –

::

CM Punk sabotaged Drew

::

McIntyre's like a chance at

::

Drew McIntyre to really go

::

and get a championship.

::

So he was in a match and it

::

was a big match.

::

CM Punk was narrating and CM

::

Punk took off his fucking

::

sling that he was in and

::

went and sabotaged the

::

whole fucking thing.

::

And I think

::

I think it was Seth Rollins

::

that beat him or somebody

::

else ended up beating Drew McIntyre,

::

took away the shot for him

::

to go and like win a title

::

or some shit like that.

::

Right.

::

And then Drew McIntyre came back,

::

beat the shit out of CM

::

Punk and took the bracelet

::

that had his wife's name

::

and his dog's name on it.

::

Okay.

::

And so Drew McIntyre wore it.

::

Like he took it, I think out of his pants,

::

out of his vent loop or

::

something like that and wore it.

::

And that was the premise of

::

the whole rest of the whole

::

match with Seth,

::

Seth Rollins being a guest

::

judge because Seth Rollins

::

is on his way back up.

::

So he has to go fight one of

::

these motherfuckers either way to him.

::

It was a win win to be like, listen,

::

I'm going to ref this fight.

::

I don't give I have no dog in the fight.

::

I just want you to know I'm

::

running this shit.

::

And so they go and do that.

::

And then essentially CM Punk

::

loses the match because

::

he's too focused and too

::

distracted about like his

::

emotions basically got the best of him.

::

And Drew McIntyre ended up

::

winning in the end.

::

Drew McIntyre is a fucking behemoth.

::

He's a big dude.

::

He's a solid.

::

I mean, he's solid as a fucking rock.

::

You look at his build.

::

And then CM Punk, I think,

::

just got cleared.

::

And this was maybe his first

::

match since he had surgery, I think,

::

on his shoulder or something like that.

::

That sounds right.

::

Yeah, that sounds right.

::

Fun fact about Seth Rollins.

::

Seth Rollins is a CrossFit athlete.

::

Oh, no shit.

::

I like the way he dresses.

::

I know everybody makes fun of that,

::

but I do like the way he dresses.

::

Very sparkly things, very slowly things.

::

I'm like, yeah,

::

do whatever the fuck you want, dude.

::

I mean, it's, I mean,

::

if you all watched and looked at, I mean,

::

remember.

::

Thank you.

::

Thank you.

::

The same company that had the macho man,

::

Randy Savage.

::

Thank you.

::

There were just a lot of it.

::

So it's just, let's not.

::

It's part of the game.

::

Like, so let's stop.

::

It absolutely is.

::

Yeah.

::

Gunther defeated Damon

::

Priest to win the world

::

heavyweight title.

::

Wasn't really familiar with

::

their storyline.

::

I just know that Priest is a

::

massive human being.

::

Didn't know anything about Gunther,

::

but Gunther is also a

::

massive human being.

::

The best way that I could

::

kind of frame this for

::

people that may not know is

::

like Rocky and Creed a little bit.

::

I mean,

::

it's kind of like Creed versus USA

::

versus Russia.

::

Because he's like this clean

::

cut wrestler who wants to

::

bring honor back into this

::

championship belt.

::

And he's supposed to be this clean cut,

::

very soldier like wrestler.

::

And Priest is like he was

::

homeless and like this guy

::

worked to get himself back.

::

He is that guy.

::

And he and Gunther basically

::

thinks he's coming to earth.

::

Right.

::

Like basically that he's

::

always street trash.

::

Like we need to bring

::

integrity back to this thing.

::

Gunther.

::

I mean,

::

the reason Damian Priest lost is

::

because him,

::

Rhea Ripley and I forgot his name.

::

His name is Finn.

::

They are they are all in a

::

group together called Judgment Day.

::

So Rhea got betrayed by Dominic.

::

Rhea got betrayed by Dominic

::

and then Priest got betrayed by Finn.

::

So and allow Gunther to put

::

Priest in a fucking sleeper hole,

::

which was payback because

::

Priest fucked up Finn's

::

spot at winning a national

::

championship a couple matches ago.

::

Got it.

::

Got it.

::

Got it.

::

Yep.

::

Yep.

::

Yep.

::

Well,

::

now the Judgment Day is basically

::

broken up.

::

If anybody listening is a wrestling pro,

::

please remember,

::

I'm getting back into wrestling.

::

So kiss my ass if I'm not

::

getting it all the way right.

::

it's wrestling it doesn't

::

need to be right yeah like

::

there are pages you can go

::

to get the full story I'm

::

giving it from my black ass

::

I will I will put a link in

::

the episode description if

::

you want a full

::

professional recount that

::

is not what this is that's

::

not what this is now the

::

last match okay then I'll

::

be done talking for a little bit

::

This was the highlight of the evening,

::

okay?

::

And now allow me to have

::

some time to kind of like

::

just give you my personal

::

tidbits on things, okay?

::

It was the undisputed WWE

::

champion Cody Rhodes versus

::

Solo Sokoa in a Bloodline Rules match.

::

Bloodline Rules match means that, which is,

::

it's applied by Solo Sokoa

::

or whoever is like the

::

leader of the Bloodline.

::

The leader of the bloodline,

::

which is also part of this story.

::

It's any rules go.

::

OK.

::

Hi.

::

Hi, Nikki.

::

It's all rules are on the line.

::

OK.

::

Everything goes.

::

So anything can happen.

::

And that's like those are bloodline rules.

::

OK.

::

So Solo Sokoa took over

::

Roman Reigns position as

::

tribal chief by force.

::

OK,

::

so Roman disappeared after he lost

::

WrestleMania and he lost

::

his title to Cody Rhodes.

::

He disappeared.

::

OK, he was no longer there.

::

Solo Sakoa came in and said,

::

I'm going to be the tribal

::

chief and y'all going to acknowledge me.

::

So much so he brought his

::

own two boys in and own bodyguard,

::

Jacob Fatu,

::

who I am a huge fan of Jacob Fatu.

::

And he, yo, he broke his, oh my God,

::

it was so good.

::

During this match, this guy,

::

I watched it in real time.

::

Jacob Fatu is like his enforcer.

::

So the bloodline, he's got two,

::

he got two of his big dogs

::

on the side as like protectors.

::

And then he got his,

::

basically his bully and his

::

security guard.

::

Jacob Fatu,

::

they call him the werewolf or

::

something like that.

::

This dude is a great wrestler.

::

Oh, my God.

::

This dude's a fucking fantastic wrestler.

::

I hope he gets his own moment.

::

This motherfucker, bro.

::

He was like wrestling to

::

kind of save Solo Sokoa.

::

Right.

::

So he's like doing all these

::

things because what we saw

::

was Cody Rhodes is

::

balancing is battling Solo Sokoa.

::

Solo said, I'm going to make Roman.

::

I'm going to make Cody

::

Rhodes acknowledge me as

::

the tribal chief.

::

And the only way to do that,

::

I'm going to challenge you.

::

So Cody accepted the challenge,

::

and that's why they're battling Ed.

::

I got it, I got it.

::

Mind you,

::

we have not seen Roman since

::

WrestleMania.

::

The last time we seen Roman,

::

he lost to Cody Rhodes and

::

lost his fucking championship.

::

Cody Rhodes is the equivalent.

::

His nickname is the American Nightmare,

::

and I think it's such a

::

perfect name because he smokes it.

::

He embodies that.

::

He's the guy that everybody loves.

::

This motherfucker's 4-0 when

::

it comes to defending his championship.

::

He's got this look to him,

::

this feel to him.

::

He comes from Dusty Rhodes.

::

He comes from that lineage

::

and that storyline where people love him.

::

If you were to watch his entrance,

::

you would be able to see, oh,

::

I see the title.

::

It's not like he's pompous.

::

He just loves this game.

::

He loves the sport.

::

And he's a hell of a wrestler.

::

He's a big dude.

::

So these two motherfuckers is going at it.

::

Solo, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop.

::

They fighting.

::

They going back and forth.

::

It's a lot of good moves.

::

There's some phenomenal shots the WWE got.

::

If you ever get a chance,

::

go watch the intro of Cody

::

Rhodes in the ring.

::

Because when she's like

::

announcing him as the Undisputed Champ,

::

he's getting so fucking live.

::

I wanted to start wrestling.

::

I thought that bitch was cold.

::

Okay, cool.

::

So they get to scrapping.

::

Now, Solo, of course,

::

is starting to lose because

::

he's realizing Cody Rhodes

::

is a little bit of a problem.

::

And Cody Rhodes is realizing

::

Solo Sokoa is kind of a big

::

motherfucker that know how to wrestle,

::

right?

::

And so Solo calls in his two goons, okay?

::

So his two goons come in.

::

Guess who flies out?

::

Fucking Randy Orton.

::

And I think his name was,

::

I want to make sure I get his name right,

::

but I think his name was Chris.

::

I'm not as familiar with him,

::

but I like it.

::

But they have this scene

::

where these two motherfuckers,

::

they go and they wrestle each other.

::

Oh, Kevin Owens and Randy Orton.

::

They came out and entered to

::

take Noah and Tonga out of the equation.

::

That's what they said.

::

I want to get their names right.

::

Okay.

::

So boom, they go, wop, wop, wop, wop, wop.

::

They take them,

::

I like the setup of it as a

::

script writer.

::

They take these two

::

motherfuckers that were the extras,

::

they're taking it like they

::

took the fight out of the stadium.

::

So you don't have to worry

::

about where the two are, right?

::

It's like, okay.

::

So those two dudes are now covered,

::

which makes way for these pops to happen.

::

So you got to figure out

::

what's the next pop.

::

So they're going back and forth.

::

OK, now the werewolf, this motherfucker,

::

Jacob Fatu,

::

flies off of the ropes into

::

the into Cody Rhodes on the

::

announcer table.

::

I watched it live.

::

He broke his foot.

::

He broke his foot.

::

So everybody thought it was a good thing.

::

But this motherfucker broke

::

his foot because he tried

::

to stand up and he couldn't stand up.

::

But this was the best part.

::

He stayed in character.

::

So he was so mad that he

::

couldn't get up that he's

::

literally dragging himself

::

and his foot across the

::

floor like he's fucking upset about it.

::

It was so fucking good

::

because everybody was like, no,

::

he's playing it off.

::

That was part of the script.

::

I said, no,

::

he really broke his shit

::

because he could not get up

::

from that area.

::

So much so the final shot

::

was like still him in that same area.

::

So he does that.

::

Boom.

::

He's basically out of the equation.

::

So I have no idea if

::

something else was supposed

::

to happen with him,

::

but they got to pivot now.

::

Right.

::

Boom.

::

Solo comes in there.

::

Him and they going back and forth.

::

Guess what the fuck happens.

::

Right.

::

There's this massive thing.

::

Cody Rose tries to give him

::

the crossroads like three times.

::

Solo and him is just kind of

::

at the stalemate.

::

Next thing you know,

::

you hear Roman's theme song pop off.

::

Oh my goodness.

::

You hear Roman's theme song

::

pop off and I'm going to

::

show y'all what happened.

::

This is called a pop.

::

Okay.

::

Yeah.

::

Is everybody with me?

::

Yes.

::

This is the pop.

::

This is going to be the pop.

::

Now, mind you,

::

there was just two massive

::

moments that just happened

::

that have these two

::

motherfuckers knocked out.

::

This is the pop that happens.

::

You hear that?

::

That's a stadium filled with people.

::

That's loud.

::

Yeah, that's loud.

::

You can always tell it's

::

loud when the audio starts to go.

::

So he's walking out, right,

::

for those that are watching.

::

It says head of the table on the screen.

::

He's here!

::

He's here!

::

He's here!

::

Roman Reigns is here!

::

He's wearing a shirt that says OTC,

::

the original tribal chief.

::

So he takes this long walk, right?

::

Because I don't want to play

::

this full thing.

::

But the pop goes on.

::

I want to show y'all what he

::

does when he gets into the ring.

::

Okay?

::

Are you ready?

::

Yeah.

::

Here we go.

::

Look at this.

::

He's eyeballing Solo Sokoa

::

because Solo knows he fucked up.

::

Solo knows he fucked up so bad.

::

And Cody Rhodes is scared

::

because he doesn't know who

::

Roman Reigns is there for.

::

Look at this.

::

Look at this.

::

I'm right in the ring.

::

Superman punch.

::

But look at the spear.

::

Now he hits a Superman punch

::

and then goes into a spear.

::

Listen to the pop.

::

Look.

::

Yeah, you can hear it.

::

I mean, listen, this shit is fucking crazy,

::

though.

::

That's wild.

::

So good.

::

So that was the final match

::

of the evening.

::

At the end, of course, Cody Rhodes wins.

::

And then Roman Reigns and

::

Cody Rhodes have this eye.

::

They're staring each other down.

::

And Roman says,

::

it's only a matter of time.

::

Because basically,

::

these two motherfuckers are

::

going to meet again.

::

Yeah.

::

I mean, it's going to be,

::

it's going to be another

::

WrestleMania match.

::

Like that's,

::

that's going to be the way it'll work,

::

but you're in between now

::

and then because

::

WrestleMania is usually January ish.

::

Um,

::

in between now and then you're going to

::

get like the complete

::

unraveling and civil war of the, um,

::

he got a handle solo first

::

and then bloodline.

::

And then he's going to go

::

and he's going to,

::

he's going to go for Kobe

::

Rhodes for sure.

::

Yeah.

::

Yep.

::

Yeah.

::

Awesome.

::

Well, dude, I'm glad that that was,

::

I'm glad that was entertaining.

::

Like that's, that's,

::

it's always hard to cover.

::

I mean,

::

you covered a full pay-per-view in

::

about 15 minutes.

::

So like,

::

I think you're just fine like that.

::

It's no, no, no, you're fine.

::

And you're into it.

::

And who gives a shit?

::

Like if you're into it,

::

let's fucking hear about it, man.

::

Um, what'd you got?

::

I'm going to keep us close to wrestling,

::

but now into the film world.

::

So Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, you know,

::

you love them.

::

How do you like them?

::

Apples, uh, goodwill hunting, right?

::

That's what, that's the,

::

they were in that movie together.

::

Oh, yeah.

::

It's from that movie.

::

It's like the most famous

::

line from that movie.

::

Marcus, have you seen Good Will Hunting?

::

Yes, I've seen Good Will Hunting.

::

I thought it was in Coraline.

::

I thought you were asking me.

::

You got confused that I was

::

for some reason coming at

::

you and you're like,

::

this is a little hostile.

::

No, it's not.

::

It's me referencing Ben

::

Affleck and Matt Damon.

::

Back in 2016, Hulk Hogan

::

whose real name is Terry Bollea,

::

sued the site Gawker to

::

settle a sex tape lawsuit

::

because the company

::

basically released the

::

details of his sex tape,

::

and he didn't want it to be leaked.

::

Now,

::

this gives us some of the most funny

::

quotes that you will ever

::

hear in your life come out

::

of a man's mouth.

::

So, here's the first one.

::

So...

::

in his it is role

::

In his role as Hulk Hogan,

::

he once bragged about how

::

he had a 10-inch penis in

::

his role as Hulk Hogan.

::

As a part of the deposition,

::

he was put into the stand

::

as a witness in a trial,

::

and someone asked him about

::

if he in fact said those things.

::

This was his response.

::

I do not have a 10-inch penis.

::

Hogan said,

::

referring to an interview he

::

did in character.

::

Terry Bollea's penis is not 10 inches.

::

I was Hulk Hogan during the

::

interviews because I wasn't

::

at home in my private house.

::

So he basically said,

::

if he's not in his house,

::

he's Hulk Hogan.

::

But when he's in his house,

::

he's Terry Bollea,

::

which is hilarious to me.

::

It's always in character.

::

Oh my God.

::

Imagine that.

::

You are in your house.

::

It's Thanksgiving.

::

And your wife is like, ooh, shit,

::

we're out of whipped cream.

::

Can you run and go and get it?

::

Honey,

::

I don't want to do that because when

::

I leave the house,

::

it's a whole fucking thing.

::

And I can't just run and

::

grab something real quick.

::

Terry stays here.

::

Do you want Terry to go?

::

You want Hulk to go?

::

She goes,

::

I'm not having this conversation again.

::

Like,

::

that is the funniest fucking thing to me.

::

I think it's crazy that, first of all,

::

it's like when I walk out this house,

::

I got a 10 inch penis.

::

But when I walk in this house,

::

Terry ain't got no 10 inch penis.

::

Yeah.

::

See, I would operate the opposite way.

::

Like, you know what I mean?

::

Like, that's my house.

::

No, no, no.

::

I can lie to everybody outside this house.

::

Nobody's going to see my penis.

::

In this house, my wife knows.

::

But here's the thing that's insane.

::

Here's the thing that's

::

insane about that is that

::

You then went and had an affair.

::

So you basically were like, hey,

::

only people in my house know.

::

Not anymore.

::

Not anymore.

::

Not anymore.

::

Unless you have to sign an NDA that says.

::

I mean, yeah, maybe.

::

I mean, yeah.

::

I mean, yeah.

::

But that's the.

::

Where else do you think he

::

operates with that split personality?

::

I don't know.

::

Yeah, I don't know.

::

And so, anyway,

::

he wasn't mad about Gawker

::

having an article on there

::

about how he had a sex tape

::

six years before the trial.

::

He's mad because the video

::

got released of his sex

::

tape got released to Gawker.

::

And this was actually such a

::

big deal that it actually

::

led to Gawker's website

::

being shut down because

::

they agreed to pay him $31

::

million as a result of this

::

particular piece.

::

So...

::

They are African Damon

::

worked on Amazon's movie

::

air where they were talking

::

about Nike and how they got

::

Michael Jordan.

::

And so this is going to be

::

the same sort of crew with those two.

::

And then what makes this an

::

even better movie is Gus Van Zandt,

::

who directed Damon and

::

Affleck in Good Will Hunting,

::

is set to direct is set to

::

helm the movie called Killing Gawker.

::

So I have, first off,

::

this movie sounds like it's

::

going to be the,

::

the drama associated with

::

the trial leading up to it.

::

Someone playing Hulk Hogan,

::

who is going to delineate

::

the 10 inch penis line.

::

And then you added the

::

actors and directors.

::

Fuck.

::

This thing is going to be,

::

this thing can't miss.

::

This motherfucking can't miss.

::

Like, it can't.

::

I'm so excited.

::

I am so excited.

::

This is an insane plot for a movie.

::

That is crazy.

::

Ben Affleck is playing Hulk, right?

::

I don't know.

::

It just says, yeah, that's it.

::

I mean,

::

it's based off of a book that was

::

released in 2018 called Conspiracy,

::

Peter Thiel, Hulk Hogan, Gawker,

::

and the Anatomy of Intrigue.

::

But I don't think they... Yeah,

::

Peter Thiel was the one who

::

co-founded PayPal,

::

and he helped finance Hogan's lawsuit.

::

But it doesn't have any cast listed.

::

Got it.

::

So you think it'll be more on Hulk's side,

::

or you think it'll be more

::

of a... I think it'll

::

probably... I think it will

::

probably try to take an objective tone.

::

I think, if anything,

::

it'll probably center around...

::

peter thiel where you'll get

::

to kind of know him a

::

little bit and his

::

motivations for wanting to

::

finance this lawsuit so I

::

think we'll probably get

::

there but my guess is that

::

this is going to be a

::

putting the idea that once

::

something is on the

::

internet it's on there

::

forever type of concept and

::

the ramification the legal

::

ramifications of that so

::

yeah I don't know but I'm

::

I'm on board quit digging

::

you hit oil like this is perfect

::

He got so excited.

::

You know what?

::

Yeah, fuck it.

::

Yeah, let's do it.

::

We're going to talk about

::

the shit that gets us excited.

::

This gets me excited.

::

And I'm very interested.

::

And it didn't take you 15

::

minutes to get there, so I appreciate it.

::

I mean, I don't want to bury the lead.

::

Hulk Hogan was in a witness

::

stand and had to delineate

::

that when he's in his house,

::

he's Terry Bollea.

::

But anytime he's not, he's Hulk Hogan.

::

Step outside like a werewolf.

::

Like all of a sudden.

::

Yeah.

::

So what does the full?

::

Yeah,

::

because then I got to put on the

::

whole Hulk Hogan outfit,

::

costume or a lot.

::

That's a lot.

::

Here's my question.

::

Is he calling everybody at

::

his house brother when he's

::

Terry Bollea or is that

::

just a Hulk Hogan thing?

::

I think it's just a Hulk Hogan thing.

::

Also,

::

Hulk Hogan was at the Republican

::

National Convention.

::

Does Terry feel that way about it?

::

Terry's a Democrat.

::

In the house.

::

That's a pretty big justification.

::

They're both the same.

::

They're both problematic.

::

Please, these are jokes.

::

We understand that they are

::

one and the same.

::

We understand that they're

::

the same person.

::

Hulk Hogan has been

::

endorsing the 300 Club and

::

talking to people about how

::

Jesus Christ is going to run wild on you,

::

brother.

::

That's what he's been doing.

::

He's been talking about that.

::

How does Terry feel about that?

::

I don't know.

::

I can't stand you, dude.

::

You added that piece of it.

::

Shout out to him.

::

Shout out to Terry.

::

Shout out to whoever's got

::

the tendon penis, I guess.

::

But whatever.

::

You know what?

::

It's like a tootsie.

::

The world may never know.

::

That's a terrible comparison.

::

And you know that.

::

You know that.

::

I do now.

::

Oh, man.

::

All right.

::

I do now.

::

Brian, he's disappointed.

::

I'm really upset.

::

Boy, howdy.

::

Oof.

::

Oof.

::

Yeah, yeah.

::

Not good.

::

Anyway.

::

What do you got?

::

What's your piece?

::

What do you got?

::

I binge watched the new Batman,

::

Caped Crusader show over this weekend.

::

I think it's 10 episodes.

::

Each episode is about 22 to

::

25 minutes apiece.

::

All right.

::

Just really,

::

I probably will go no spoiler review.

::

Okay.

::

I think it's a really good show.

::

It's on Prime.

::

Yeah.

::

I thought it was on HBO Max,

::

but it's on Prime.

::

I'm sure it'll end up on HBO Max.

::

And really,

::

I think it was executive

::

produced by... Yeah,

::

I'll talk a little bit

::

about it because I've

::

watched the first two

::

episodes while you look that up.

::

So it's really well done.

::

I think it does a couple of

::

things really well.

::

The first is that it sort of

::

captures the essence of...

::

It captures the essence of Batman,

::

the animated series,

::

while also making it its

::

own distinct thing.

::

It looks and feels like it's

::

somewhere you've been before,

::

but it is also

::

simultaneously such a

::

unique take on some of

::

those storylines that it's well done.

::

J.J.

::

Abrams was one of the producers.

::

Was that the person you were thinking of?

::

Yep.

::

Yep.

::

It was J.J.

::

Abrams and Bruce Timm.

::

Yep.

::

So from the original.

::

And Matt Reeves.

::

And Matt Reeves is also part of this, too.

::

Yeah.

::

So going down some of the

::

things for the voice cast.

::

Hamish Linklater.

::

Linklater.

::

Hamish Linklater.

::

Linklater.

::

Thank you.

::

Hamish Linklater plays

::

Batman or Bruce Wayne.

::

Really phenomenal job there.

::

Jamie Chung plays Harley Quinn.

::

Minnie Driver plays Oswalda Cobblepot.

::

Dedrick Batter,

::

and I'm just finding this

::

out in real time,

::

is Harvey Dent in Two-Face.

::

He did a phenomenal job.

::

Christina Ritchie is Catwoman.

::

Crystal Joy Brown is Barbara Gordon.

::

McKenna Grace is Natalia Knight.

::

Eric Morgan Stewart is

::

Commissioner Jim Gordon.

::

It's like a really good cast.

::

They have a racist ghost on here,

::

like a little bit.

::

It seems like is what was hinted at.

::

I didn't get to the racist ghost.

::

Oh, man.

::

When you get to the episode,

::

let me know because that

::

was what I picked up on by

::

the setup of the characters,

::

but they didn't address it directly.

::

It's going to be pretty

::

clear it's a racist ghost, right?

::

No,

::

he's not going to just say a slur or

::

anything like that.

::

He's not going to boo a slur.

::

I mean, it is on Prime.

::

I don't know how they live their life.

::

Yeah, you know, you never know.

::

You don't know what's going to happen.

::

With the real life Lex Luthor.

::

I think that... No.

::

They have a lot of

::

iterations of characters

::

that are different than the ones we know.

::

So it really is like early Batman,

::

but he's been doing this for a while.

::

He's not an established Batman.

::

It almost feels like before

::

we get to the animated series.

::

There's a phenomenal last

::

shot in the last episode

::

that I think was like, wow,

::

y'all fucking killed that.

::

It really does well like the

::

animated series does.

::

If you've ever watched the

::

original Batman the Animated Series,

::

you know that they don't

::

just focus on batman they

::

do really focused on the

::

characters and the

::

characterizations of people

::

that live in that world too

::

um and they get back to

::

that in this episode like

::

there's literally an

::

episode in the in the old

::

school batman where it's

::

like batman stuck in a

::

basement and two kids have

::

to help him and say yeah

::

and that's the entire

::

episode that's the whole

::

episode and you're like

::

what the fuck is this but

::

it kind of shows you how batman

::

What people think of Batman.

::

So it's a really,

::

really good animated show.

::

And I think,

::

I think if you try to do this

::

in live action, it could be hit or miss,

::

but I'm glad that animation

::

is getting back to that

::

point where you can like, I don't know,

::

do things and enjoy things

::

in a way that only

::

animation you can kind of get off.

::

Yeah.

::

The thing I've appreciated about it is,

::

you know, the anime Batman,

::

the animated series,

::

you were always following

::

around Bruce Wayne or Batman.

::

Like the villains were there,

::

but you never really got a

::

whole lot of like around

::

their atmosphere.

::

You kind of just got the

::

villains and that was it.

::

What I really liked that they did,

::

especially in the as well,

::

the Cobblepot episode is it was like,

::

yeah,

::

he was there like fighting crime and

::

shit.

::

But it was mostly like the detectives,

::

the goons that were close

::

to Penguin and then Penguin.

::

And then like Batman was

::

like there to like

::

basically break shit up.

::

And so it was such a unique

::

take on like how that was done.

::

And I like how you kind of

::

get it from that storyline.

::

I was where they've got me

::

is that I've only watched

::

the first two episodes.

::

And the second episode was

::

there like Clayface episode.

::

Oh yeah.

::

Was that the second episode?

::

Yes.

::

That was a good episode.

::

And that was really good.

::

Like that was really,

::

really good because I was

::

worried at first.

::

Cause I was like, I don't know.

::

This feels a little like

::

Batman in real life to a certain extent,

::

but they pulled that off.

::

Like, and I didn't ask,

::

any questions I was like

::

okay yep you got it sold

::

yep so yeah it was really

::

good I enjoyed that I've

::

been enjoying it so far and

::

to that point they do a lot

::

of the and you'll see it

::

more as you get into the

::

episodes they do a lot of

::

introducing things in

::

Batman's world that isn't

::

just about him being in

::

Gotham also I do recognize

::

the success in a I'm not

::

really good with timeline

::

but like 60's 70's ish feel that this has

::

There are certain things that it's like,

::

oh, yeah,

::

I see why Batman would be an

::

anomaly in this world

::

because they don't have the

::

technology that we would.

::

So like that kind of put

::

into perspective how

::

successful Batman was in that time.

::

The more we get like

::

intertwined with like

::

technology and things

::

become more unrealistic because, oh,

::

we all have a phone.

::

They don't do all that shit here.

::

It's like an old school radio.

::

It's still old school Batman,

::

but it just feels good.

::

And a lot of setups for later characters.

::

For all y'all motherfuckers

::

that keep saying, well,

::

they checked all the DEI boxes.

::

Number one, shut the fuck up.

::

Just because you don't like

::

when somebody makes a

::

character change or gender

::

swapping Oswald Cobblepot

::

Obviously,

::

they're setting these people up

::

and these characters up for

::

their second wave of

::

iterations is what I think they're doing.

::

So a lot of these characters

::

will inspire like they have

::

a character called Firebug.

::

Obviously,

::

that is a character like they

::

made that reference to the

::

original character in

::

original character in Batman,

::

which was called Firebug

::

before you get Firefly.

::

Same thing.

::

Just have some patience and

::

shut the fuck up.

::

yeah just and the other

::

thing is is that there is

::

such a thing called like

::

artistic interpretation

::

that you know I really like

::

the fact that because it's

::

never ever been indicated

::

and this is the thing that

::

I like about it and this is

::

the thing that bugs me

::

about like comic book fans

::

is some comic book fans not

::

all let's not paint with

::

too broad a brush but like

::

Barbara Gordon and Jim

::

Gordon are both black.

::

And so what I've loved about

::

that is nowhere anywhere.

::

Did anyone ever say that

::

they had to be white?

::

Like ever?

::

It's not, it's never like, yes,

::

that's the way it is in the

::

original series, but no one was like,

::

and obviously he's white.

::

Yes.

::

Like that's no one ever did that.

::

And so the fact that like

::

the fact that they're like, uh-huh,

::

we don't I don't understand

::

why he couldn't be so like

::

I really appreciate the way

::

that they went with that

::

and it follows it follows

::

the matt reeves's black jim

::

gordon it follows the bat

::

girl movie that was

::

canceled unfortunately she

::

was black in that so it's

::

like it's possible just

::

because you get mad it's

::

happening even harley quinn

::

I don't want to spoil it

::

for you but yeah there's

::

some things that come down

::

there down that down that

::

line so like yeah for sure

::

Yeah, big fan.

::

Good show.

::

I'd watch it.

::

Okay, good.

::

Yeah, awesome.

::

And if that's not a reason to get Prime,

::

they also released a Sausage Party series,

::

which I have not watched,

::

but that is also on there

::

if you'd like to watch that.

::

We're going to sit in this

::

just like right now in the

::

silence as your

::

disappointment takes over your face.

::

Marcus has never been more

::

disgusted by a movie than that movie.

::

So that's why I brought it.

::

That movie almost made me throw up.

::

I still to this day can't

::

explain watching that movie

::

with your parents and being like,

::

I want to throw up.

::

Or with your in-laws.

::

That's an even worse decision.

::

That's a thing that happened to me.

::

It was funny.

::

Don't get me wrong.

::

And I see it.

::

The comedy is just,

::

I don't think I can watch a

::

TV show for a little bit.

::

I'm surprised Amazon Prime was like,

::

you know what we need a show of?

::

Seth Rogen is... I don't know.

::

He's got the talent.

::

Anything he puts his hands to,

::

I think that there is that...

::

I don't know.

::

He just knows he's going to

::

do it with such good

::

intention and like such natural comedy.

::

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,

::

anything that he's done so

::

far recently has been like, yeah,

::

but knock that out the park.

::

You know what it is?

::

The thing that I think that

::

makes it hard is that they

::

gave them they made the

::

buns like shapely and they

::

gave the buns curves.

::

And that's what throws me

::

off every time because I'm

::

like that just it doesn't look right.

::

That's not how I imagine a hot dog bun.

::

It's a whole thing.

::

Well, let's pivot, shall we?

::

Let's do a hard right.

::

Let's do the boy howdy hard right.

::

Let's talk about Vince Vaughn, shall we?

::

Okay.

::

So Vince Vaughn is currently

::

in Curb Your Enthusiasm, but most of us,

::

I mean, if you're Marcus and I's age,

::

Marcus Bryan and I's age,

::

you know Vince Vaughn from his late 90s,

::

early 2000s,

::

R rated comedies, uh, wedding crashers,

::

old school fucking classics, man.

::

Swingers.

::

This isn't an R rated comedy,

::

but he was in Fred Claus.

::

I mean, the guy was like everywhere.

::

Like he was, he was everywhere.

::

Like he was in everything.

::

He was all over the place.

::

And recently he was on a show.

::

He was recently on the show hot ones,

::

which you can watch on Hulu now,

::

which is kind of cool.

::

Um, and yeah,

::

He kind of said that like he

::

kind of made this statement

::

that made me think.

::

And so I kind of wanted

::

Marcus to hear your your take on it.

::

And really,

::

he sort of talked about like

::

why those R rated movies

::

aren't being made.

::

And so I'm going to read.

::

I'm going to read the quote

::

to you and you let me know

::

what you think.

::

So, um, the, uh, the interviewer asked him,

::

you know,

::

why don't you think we're seeing

::

more R rated com comedies?

::

And here's what he said.

::

The execs just overthink it.

::

And it's like, it's crazy.

::

You get these rules.

::

Like if you did geometry and

::

you said 87 degrees was the right angle,

::

then all your answers are

::

messed up instead of 90 degrees.

::

So there becomes some,

::

some idea or concept.

::

Like they would say

::

something like you have to have an IP,

::

uh,

::

The people in charge don't

::

want to get fired more,

::

so then they're looking to

::

do something great.

::

So they want to kind of

::

follow a set of rules that

::

somehow get set in stone

::

that don't really translate.

::

But as long as you follow them,

::

they're not going to lose

::

their job because they can say, well,

::

look,

::

I made a movie off the board game Payday,

::

so even though the movie didn't work,

::

you can't let me go, right?

::

Um, and then the last thing he said is he,

::

he was asked, like,

::

do you think we'll get more

::

R rated comedies?

::

He goes, people want to laugh.

::

People want to look stuff at,

::

want to look at stuff that

::

feels a little bit like it's, you know,

::

dangerous or pushing the envelope.

::

I think you're going to see

::

more of it in the film

::

space sooner than later

::

would be my guess.

::

Um,

::

I thought the bit in there

::

about IP and kind of giving

::

you the immunity from being fired,

::

that's a fascinating

::

concept that I hadn't

::

previously considered.

::

But I wanted to get your take on it.

::

So thoughts on that?

::

I mean, I think he's absolutely right.

::

I mean, I think of David Zasloff.

::

I think of all of these.

::

Their main job is to protect the...

::

profit their main job is to

::

protect themselves if I'm

::

just being honest not a lot

::

of them care about the art

::

of a movie and what would

::

actually work and we said

::

it before like when kobit

::

was happening there was a

::

lot of norms that were made

::

norman it was kind of like

::

why the the one I think

::

about predominantly is when

::

you had white actors

::

voicing black characters

::

for so long and everybody

::

was just kind of like

::

why like yeah or any

::

character of color I mean

::

right remember like Apu

::

from the Simpsons was the

::

best example of a lot of

::

this yes and it was and

::

thank you and it was like

::

to a point it was like why

::

did why were we doing this

::

and then people kind of

::

stopped doing it of like

::

yeah it doesn't make any

::

sense and then they make that change but

::

I agree with everything he said.

::

And I do think we'll get that comedy back,

::

and I think that there will

::

be a smart way where you

::

don't have to be just offensive to do it.

::

You can make fun,

::

smart comedy like Robot Chicken,

::

like Family Guy,

::

like all of these shows

::

that we've seen before.

::

Because I think about the comedy piece,

::

I think he's right.

::

I think he's right.

::

I think people do like to laugh.

::

Comedy does better when it's a little...

::

askew right like it's not

::

and people get to look at

::

something a little bit

::

weird and we all get to

::

have this collective moment

::

where we sort of laugh at

::

it so I appreciate that I

::

think that's spot on but I

::

think you're absolutely

::

right about the IP stuff I

::

mean it makes a lot of

::

sense it's why we saw

::

Barbie was good by itself

::

but I think maybe and this

::

is what makes me nervous is

::

that was Barbie greenlit

::

because it was a movie

::

about a doll or was it

::

greenlit because the story was good

::

I think sometimes you can have both.

::

And I think you're right.

::

Yep.

::

My movie that I would use

::

for his example specifically is Morbius.

::

Not to beat a dead horse.

::

100%.

::

Well, a living dead horse, but yes.

::

But we're looking for spiders.

::

Or Madame Web as another example.

::

Both movies, it came out,

::

the director said that both

::

of these movies were made by committee.

::

So if the committee has no,

::

we know the formula,

::

this formula is going to

::

work and these are the

::

boxes we have to check.

::

You kind of got a hand tied

::

behind your back when it's

::

time to execute.

::

Yeah, great point.

::

Yeah, we have the IP.

::

We don't really care how we use it,

::

but we have the intellectual property.

::

We're going to go ahead and

::

just move forward.

::

And if it doesn't work, then whoops.

::

And I need this, this,

::

and this as part of this is how Sony,

::

just as an example,

::

Sony has these boxes to

::

check every time we do something.

::

It's got this, this, and this.

::

as as the big board of

::

directors okay well as a

::

creative now my hands are

::

tied because you making me

::

have things that maybe

::

don't make sense and we

::

always hear about directors

::

saying well this got cut

::

and I don't know why blah

::

blah blah because they

::

gotta save their ass like

::

that's I agree with

::

everything that he said

::

when I think he was I think

::

he was absolutely spot on like i

::

I think it's a I think it's

::

a tactic to it's either a

::

it's a pre canned excuse

::

for when the money doesn't do well.

::

And it is a pre canned

::

excuse for why you don't

::

see more directors or more

::

writers or more like studios.

::

like basically like, like going,

::

having people fired at the

::

level that they are like

::

CEOs and directors of big studios,

::

their board of directors,

::

aren't letting them go.

::

Cause they were saying like, well,

::

we had this IP.

::

So it was,

::

so it was either cheap for us to make,

::

or it was cost effective for us to make,

::

because now we have that.

::

We can come back to it.

::

And it just didn't work this time.

::

Like going back to sequels.

::

I know what works.

::

I know that these boxes,

::

I check these boxes every single time.

::

Yeah.

::

This is what works.

::

Yeah.

::

And so hopefully,

::

hopefully we see Hollywood

::

directors maybe revolt

::

against that a little bit.

::

But it also makes me it's

::

sort of like I sort of get

::

caught with like a chicken

::

and an egg thing with it,

::

because it's the same

::

reason why when people are like, oh, man,

::

you like Coors Light.

::

It's like,

::

but you have to have the stuff there.

::

for people to like revolt

::

against and to create a craft beer scene.

::

You need to have those like canned movies.

::

So that way someone can get

::

their experience directing

::

and then go and do something later.

::

So it's just, it's hard.

::

So you don't like want to wish it away,

::

but it is, it makes it challenging.

::

I'm sure to be a creative in that space.

::

Yeah.

::

yeah that cookie cutter

::

route don't work for

::

everything I'll tell you

::

that so it does not it does

::

not and I think we have

::

seen some where it is like

::

starting to to like back up

::

on them a little bit too yeah yeah so

::

Cool.

::

The last thing I want to say,

::

and this is a shared piece

::

of news because you tipped

::

this off to me before the

::

podcast started.

::

So this is shared news, everybody.

::

Doug and Marcus.

::

A Doug and Marcus original.

::

Dave Bautista, Jason Momoa.

::

Marcus,

::

when I say those two things together,

::

Jason Momoa, Dave Bautista,

::

what do you think of?

::

Six.

::

Six.

::

Okay.

::

Okay.

::

Was that not the answer?

::

Like, with you?

::

Or, like, just with each other?

::

No, no, like,

::

if I was to think of the word sex,

::

I think that those two would embody,

::

like... Oh, like sexy dudes.

::

Yeah, sexy dudes.

::

Okay, yeah.

::

No, you nailed it.

::

They are attractive.

::

That's not my preference.

::

No, yeah.

::

They are attractive.

::

They are two attractive guys.

::

Yeah, for sure.

::

Yeah, yeah.

::

Yeah.

::

In another life, I wouldn't think twice.

::

Um...

::

They are going to be

::

doing... The trains are coming.

::

All I'm going to say is

::

someone offers me $100,000, I mean,

::

that is going to be... Hey, Doug,

::

I'm going to finance a lot

::

of your life for 15 minutes of your time.

::

I'm going to be like...

::

All right.

::

Where do I sign?

::

That's a lot.

::

No.

::

I mean, I've done.

::

That's a lot.

::

What?

::

You've done.

::

Okay.

::

Let's just keep this.

::

You know what?

::

What?

::

I was trying.

::

I almost compared.

::

What?

::

I almost compared having...

::

like,

::

consensual sex with a man to a really

::

hard workout I did once.

::

Sometimes it feels like this.

::

Sometimes.

::

I wouldn't know, but, like,

::

when you were like, it's 15 minutes,

::

I almost went like, yeah,

::

I've done workouts that are

::

20 that are far worse.

::

Like...

::

So here we are, everybody.

::

I'm sending this in the private chat,

::

and I want you to read it,

::

but don't read it out loud.

::

Okay, I'm gonna start laughing.

::

That's what's gonna happen.

::

Anyway,

::

but they are being booked to do a

::

movie together.

::

I have to read it.

::

Yeah, you do.

::

Oh, shit, yep.

::

Yep, yep, yep.

::

Had a little too much fiber

::

the day before?

::

Yep, I get it.

::

Um...

::

They are going to be doing.

::

Anyway,

::

and Jason Momoa are going to be

::

doing a buddy cop action movie.

::

called The Wrecking Crew.

::

Basically,

::

the idea is that they are two people,

::

they're two brothers,

::

and they're investigating a murder.

::

Their father's murder.

::

Their father's murder.

::

And the best part about this

::

is that the director of Blue Beetle,

::

Angel Manuel Soto,

::

is going to be the one directing it.

::

So...

::

I thought he did a good job

::

with blue beetle for what

::

blue beetle was.

::

Um,

::

and so it's actually kind of a really

::

good example of like the

::

last thing we were talking about.

::

You did blue beetle,

::

which had to check some boxes for DC.

::

They put in his,

::

he earned his chops and now

::

he gets to do this like

::

really fun movie with, you know, Dave and,

::

um, Jason Momoa.

::

So that's, that's going to be a fun movie.

::

And I am, I am on board.

::

Cause that's going to be,

::

that's going to be fun.

::

You say less.

::

I saw the article and I was like,

::

Doug's going to love this.

::

I love this because we've

::

been bigging up Batista for a long time.

::

And we, I mean, we're fans of Jason Momoa.

::

Yeah.

::

Like already.

::

So, I mean, that's a great,

::

that's two great people to

::

put on screen together.

::

It didn't necessarily say comedy, right?

::

It just said action.

::

It said a buddy action cop movie.

::

So yeah, it could be like a,

::

like a lethal weapon.

::

I would think.

::

I like it.

::

I like it a lot.

::

Yeah, no,

::

I'm absolutely here for it

::

because those two dudes are huge.

::

And that's,

::

that's the only thing that I would say,

::

if there's anything that makes me nervous,

::

uh,

::

if it were any two other actors,

::

I would be nervous about

::

two big dudes and them

::

arguing over who gets the

::

spot of the big action sequence.

::

But I think those two are

::

such like standup dudes.

::

And I just don't think it's going to be,

::

they're humble.

::

Like you said,

::

they're humble enough where

::

I don't think it's going to

::

be a problem longterm for

::

them to really like,

::

go after it so yeah it's not

::

and I hate to make this

::

comparison because I do

::

like The Rock but it's not

::

if you put The Rock and Vin

::

Diesel on screen together

::

you took the words out of

::

my mouth that is exactly

::

who I was referring to that

::

would literally be the

::

opposite of this movie yeah

::

100% so no release date

::

because the details were

::

finalized right before the

::

SAG after strike so there

::

aren't like major details

::

that came up but that's

::

where they are at as of now

::

so there you have it

::

I'm excited.

::

I like that combination.

::

Yeah, I do too.

::

That's going to be a really good combo.

::

Anything else, Marcus,

::

that you would like to chat

::

about on this lovely

::

episode of Films in Black and White?

::

Yes,

::

I'm going to play something as a teaser.

::

Oh, what are you going to play?

::

Who knows?

::

Who knows?

::

All right, that's fine.

::

I know everybody says,

::

I'm just getting started.

::

Ain't seen nothing yet.

::

Yo, I'm just getting started.

::

You ain't seen nothing yet.

::

You can't blackmail.

::

::

You can't blackmail.

::

No blackmail.

::

You can't blackmail.

::

::

You can't blackmail.

::

Yeah, yeah.

::

::

::

since the mocha cow.

::

But how you think you

::

biggest step in when I'm around?

::

Yeah Fire is shit.

::

Thank you.

::

Yeah,

::

I love that coming very soon mixed by

::

Jarrell So I don't to

::

Jarrell extortions coming out very soon.

::

Yeah, is that what your car?

::

Is that the name of the song?

::

Mm-hmm.

::

Okay good I thought that was

::

the name of the album and I was like,

::

oh shit.

::

That's a great name.

::

I don't have an album for just

::

No, that's fine.

::

But still, it's awesome either way.

::

I'm very excited.

::

I'm excited to play it in

::

the gym for everybody to listen to.

::

Because that's usually what I do.

::

I love it.

::

Awesome.

::

Anything else that you... Oh, sorry.

::

What do you have to plug this week?

::

Oh, you know, you just want to make sure.

::

Oh, actually, I do want to plug.

::

If you're in need of any party supplies,

::

go to party supplies.

::

And you know what?

::

You don't feel like doing the work.

::

You don't have time to do the work.

::

There's so many reasons.

::

Life happens.

::

Who has the time?

::

But a celebration is going

::

to come to be celebrated.

::

Nonetheless,

::

there's somebody who can help

::

you with that.

::

And that's Color Me Confetti on Etsy.

::

That is Maggie Rouse's store.

::

Everything you need.

::

For your party to be popping,

::

you can find it at Color Me Confetti.

::

That's

::

C-O-L-O-R-M-E-C-O-N-F-E-T-T-I on

::

Etsy right now for all of

::

your party planning needs.

::

Link is in the episode description.

::

Link is always in the episode description.

::

Go ahead and support Maggie

::

Roush and in turn supporting our brother,

::

Brian Roush.

::

You always want to follow the mantra.

::

Never offend it.

::

Always humble.

::

Go buy yourself some merch.

::

New music is on the way.

::

I'm so deep in my bag.

::

It's ridiculous.

::

Soul Tide's got new music on the way.

::

But whatever you do, follow the mantra.

::

Never offend it.

::

Always humble.

::

Absolutely.

::

Look,

::

if you enjoyed our discussion about

::

wrestling and Hulk Hogan's

::

statements in a legal

::

setting and really anything

::

else that we talked about today,

::

share us with a friend or a

::

family member.

::

That is the best way to

::

support the podcast you

::

love is to help get that

::

word of mouth going.

::

People are more likely to

::

listen to a podcast recommended to them.

::

by a friend or a family member.

::

Um, so as much as Apple is helpful,

::

most folks hear about them

::

from their friends.

::

So spread the love, spread the word.

::

Um, and we'd much appreciate it.

::

If you're feeling generous

::

and you want to go over to our, to our,

::

our Patreon,

::

go to patreon.com slash films

::

in black and white,

::

sign up for one of our tiers there,

::

help us produce the show.

::

We would very, very much appreciate it.

::

Uh, and so, yeah,

::

we would absolutely love you if you did.

::

And if you don't and you still listen,

::

we love you anyway.

::

Um, uh,

::

But Marcus,

::

we have a three-step process to success.

::

Sir, what is that first step?

::

Oh,

::

that first step in line of my good

::

brother, Brian Roush.

::

You want to make sure that

::

you read a book.

::

Read something.

::

You know what I mean?

::

Read the newspaper.

::

There's digital books.

::

There's so many good things out right now.

::

I got a lot of books that I

::

get from my good friend, Dr. John Little.

::

He gives me the books that

::

when he's done reading, I get to get them,

::

whether it's comic books or

::

it's a new book.

::

But whatever you do, read something.

::

Yeah, absolutely.

::

The next step is, look, y'all,

::

it's it's August and August

::

can be hot and August can be humid.

::

And you want to make sure

::

that you drink some water.

::

Look,

::

it's important to stay hydrated for

::

those of y'all that are

::

coming back to school.

::

You know, there's some anxiety,

::

there's some nervousness.

::

Your stomach can seize up on

::

you and maybe you're not as

::

frequent as you need to be.

::

Water helps flush a lot of that out.

::

So just drink some water.

::

Treat yourself to the nice

::

water every now and then.

::

Do something special just for you.

::

But yeah, make sure you drink some water.

::

Yeah, I love that.

::

I love that.

::

And for the final step,

::

you want to make sure that

::

you wash your ass just as

::

muggy and sticky and humid

::

that August can be soaking your ass.

::

So you want to make sure

::

that you wash your ass,

::

get a rag and then throw that rag away.

::

If it's about that time,

::

get some new ones.

::

So you're not just holding

::

that smell up in them rags.

::

All right.

::

Yeah.

::

I mean, at the very least, wash them,

::

right?

::

Like at the very least,

::

a lot of y'all are just

::

leaving that there and

::

letting it dry out.

::

It's just not working.

::

You know,

::

swamp ass is a real thing and you

::

don't want to keep washing

::

with the same swamp assy cloth.

::

So yeah, a hundred percent.

::

Yeah.

::

Uh, so yeah,

::

that does it for this week's

::

episode of films of black and white.

::

We will be back next week

::

with another outstanding episode,

::

but in the meantime,

::

and in the between time, stay safe,

::

stay healthy.

::

We love y'all.

::

We appreciate y'all.

::

We'll catch y'all next week.

::

When you said pure extortion

::

on the phone and it went I went oh fuck I

::

Oh, that was my real life.

::

Y'all don't even know.
