Personal Liberty Lines

A teen curfew sounds like a simple safety policy until you ask the obvious question: who pays the price when the rule hits real life? We start with a story about minors being arrested for violating curfew and parents getting cited, then we dig into the messy line between public safety, parental responsibility, and personal liberties. We are not trying to turn it into a political shouting match. We are trying to figure out where the boundary should be and what happens when authorities can keep moving it. 

From there, we connect the dots to the bigger pattern a lot of people feel right now: rules piling up faster than results. We talk COVID-era restrictions, the feeling of “temporary” becoming permanent, and the everyday frustrations of airport security that keeps asking for one more step. Then we bring it home to schools: cell phone bans, smartwatch rules, dress code crackdowns, and how hard it is to protect kids and stay connected as a parent when policies treat every situation like the same situation. Zeke jumps in with what it feels like on the student side, including unfair discipline and why group punishment can make classrooms worse. 

Then we lighten things up without losing the theme. Zeke runs us through a Gen Z slang quiz that makes us question our age and our vocabulary. After that, we do a trailer watch party and react to the Mario movie, Spider-Man Brand New Day, and Dune, plus a bigger conversation about why theaters and big blockbuster movies feel like they are finally back. We wrap on Marvel’s next swing with Avengers Doomsday, the huge character roster, and what would actually feel “remarkable” again.

Teen Curfews And Parental Rights

SPEAKER_03 2:31

Both of them are so awkward. Oh, on today's episode, we're gonna be talking about personal liberties. And again, we're not gonna get political here. We just want to talk a little bit about where that line is drawn on uh on kind of personal freedoms and also your liberty. So Tai Tai lead us off on the story that you heard, read, watched, whatever, however, you got it into your face.

SPEAKER_06 2:56

In my face. Okay. Well, saw a video on Facebook from the St. Louis Metropolitan Police. I believe that's who it was. And they're enforcing a curfew for minors on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays. I don't know when they start or how long it'll go. It may be indefinite. But that's what they've been doing. And the video showed, you know, cops driving around and their you know teens outside and they're like warning them like over their you know, whatever speaker, whatever they got in their cars, uh saying, you know, y'all need to get home or you're gonna be arrested. Um so and it said just one night they arrested 20-something minors, and then when the parents come to pick them up, they will be giving the parents citations for breaking this curfew for allowing their children to break this curfew.

SPEAKER_03 4:00

Man, we'd have been in some trouble now.

SPEAKER_06 4:03

We'd have been in some serious some sort of trouble. Well, I th I think and I I don't think the curfew is just because they just need another uh ordinance regulation for people to follow. I think there's probably a reason there might be, you know, a trending level of higher crime rate or something with teens, you know, in the evening on those days or something. So they're putting that in place. I don't know. I'm assuming it's not just out of nowhere.

SPEAKER_01 4:34

There's probably not just for fun.

SPEAKER_06 4:36

Yeah. I'm assuming there's a reason for it.

SPEAKER_03 4:38

Yeah, yeah, I guess that is that would be true. It's like because really at a certain time that it's not good to be out anyway. Like you're you're just gonna get in trouble. There's nothing good going on at that time. But but I mean it it it can it can get to the point to where it's literally they could just take and and who says they don't push it back to six.

SPEAKER_01 4:58

Right.

SPEAKER_03 4:58

You know, so like where does the where does the line begin?

SPEAKER_01 5:01

You know, to where and I I don't know. I'm of two minds about it. I tell us two minds. Both of them. Oh. One, two. Uh what? One, two. One two. So the first one is as a parent, I don't I don't want my kids out after ten most of the time. But as a parent, if I know my kids out after ten and there's a reason, I don't think I should get a ticket for that.

SPEAKER_03 5:24

Right. Why why is that now the police department's responsibility to tell you as a parent when your kid should or should not be out?

unknown 5:32

Right.

SPEAKER_01 5:32

Right. Yeah, because I mean if I if I sent, you know, I don't know what the age range is, but if I sent my 16-year-old to the store after 10 for I don't know, ice cream or whatever, you know, it's that's the necessities. I have yeah, the the important stuff. I have I have made the decision to send my child into the world after 10 p.m. I don't think it's okay for her or him to be arrested at that point.

SPEAKER_06 5:58

Right. I think because I can agree with that. I think the whole issue is why there's a curfew and the I guess the time frame of when that curfew is going to be enforced. Because it you know, like I said, it could be you know, there's just been a higher crime rate or whatever it is maybe, and they say, hey, we're enforcing this curfew for the next month. Right. We're giving you the heads up just for this month, keep your children inside the homes after 10 p.m.

SPEAKER_01 6:30

But I don't think that they'll solve anything. I mean, if you're there to arrest them for curfew, you're there to arrest them for what they're doing wrong.

COVID Rules And Sliding Boundaries

SPEAKER_03 6:37

Yeah, well, and and and that also, like the the thing you're trying to solve is is probably kids out doing something they shouldn't supposed to they shouldn't be doing. Right. So what makes you think of putting another rule? They don't follow the rule that's already there. Right. So if you put another rule on top of that, what make now you're now you're getting kids in trouble that you just added this rule for, but the ones that are causing trouble are still gonna cause trouble. They don't care about the new rule because they didn't care about the original one. Yeah, right. It's like I oh and again, it I feel like COVID done a lot of this. COVID really pushed the bar onto what they could make you do as a free American. Yeah. You are not allowed to go to a funeral because of a sickness. Like we can make you not go, or we can fire you from a job, you know, which a lot of uh they're getting a lot of blowback with that now. But it's just it's pretty crazy to to watch happen. Especially you watch, you know, we were watching um a movie the other day, and just how how quick these this family got through the airport because it wasn't what it is now, where now like everything gets searched, you gotta, which now they stopped doing your shoes off, but at one point it was taking your shoes off. And I got to where they they wanted me to strip like strip down out of my hoodie, and I'm like, no, you're already putting me through a machine. I'm not taking my hoodie off, dude. Right. Like it's crazy.

SPEAKER_01 8:01

At what point and that's what I don't understand about these if they can't see you through a hoodie, what's the point of them at all? Right, right. Why am I?

SPEAKER_03 8:08

Why do I have to stand with my hands up in this machine and and do all this? It it I just don't, and it just seems like every year they things get pushed and pushed, and there's regulation after regulation after and new law and new law and new law. It's like at what point does it get to be too much?

Schools Policing Kids And Phones

SPEAKER_01 8:26

Well, and especially, you know, Tyler being a new parent, you'll you'll eventually start dealing with this stuff. But when you have or governments and and and organizations like schools and things that nature that that are now policing your own children, telling them what they are allowed to and not they got a new cell phone law or rule this year. Yeah, I hate that so much. If I need to get a hold of my child during the day, I can't at all because they're not allowed to even have them out.

SPEAKER_03 8:56

Well, Richard, you could call the school because you know how good they are at relaying messages when and where they need to go.

SPEAKER_06 9:02

Right, right. I'd agree, I agree with that to an extent, with uh in the extent being that issue right there. Right. I gotta get a hold of my kid. So do, you know, depending on how big the school is, but so do, you know, 200 other parents.

SPEAKER_03 9:18

Right, right. Well, and and we got to a point, this was a few years ago, where where Zeke fell on playing basketball at recess and busted his head open. And his teacher just very quickly just let us know, hey, Zeke fell, he hurt himself, he's bleeding, he went to the nurse, just wanted to let you know. She got in trouble.

SPEAKER_06 9:36

Yeah, I did hear about that.

SPEAKER_03 9:38

Because they told her it's the nurse's job to get a hold of that. Like, I want to know when my kid is hurt.

SPEAKER_01 9:45

Well, especially something like a head injury. That's right. You don't mess around with a head injury, that could that could turn bad very quickly.

SPEAKER_03 9:52

Well, and it and it got to the point which I think now they've relaxed a little bit on the because like I was gonna get Zeke a Apple Watch so that a few reasons, so that if his phone goes dead, he still has a way to contact us, or vice versa. And also I could track where they're at. So if him and Zay are together, I could track from his watch. Well, they they had a rule, you can't even have a smartwatch. Right. Right. Who are you to tell them that they can't have a personal item on their body? Well, it's like there's some schools that won't let you dye your hair a certain color. Oh, yeah. Who are you to tell these kids they can't do that?

SPEAKER_01 10:29

My daughter Silver, she had a horrible time because she loved to dye her hair. She dyed a different color every week. But she went to Hawcombe school and they they that was against their dress code because it was distracting a color?

SPEAKER_06 10:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 10:43

Well, then stop painting walls and stop putting up posters. And I mean, come on.

SPEAKER_06 10:48

My senior year, I remember this because I and it was funny because I didn't take it serious at first until they're like, uh yeah. We it was my senior year. We had uh we did a like a senior water balloon fight like right before school. And I came to school and I had like a tank top, nothing like crazy, like didn't have like giant holes cut. Literally, like it was almost you could it was almost like a basketball jersey, yeah, in a sense. I came in, they're like, You you gotta go home and change. Why? Well, because you don't have sleeves.

SPEAKER_03 11:20

Yeah, you don't have that four inches of fabric going from your shoulder to your mid-bicep. Yeah. This is something speaking of that, this is something that drives me insane. Now we're okay for the basketball team that that represents our school, that plays at our school to wear cutoffs, to wear that's fine, but when you're in school, you can't have that. Right. We're fine with our volleyball team wearing four-inch shorts. Oh, dude. That's okay. But you can't do that, and and again, I get why, because if you just let it go crazy, it'll be chaos. Right. But you're sending very mixed messages here. You're saying it's okay for our cheerleaders to wear short skirts, right? But you could never have that in school. But but God forbid there's a small hole in your jeans.

SPEAKER_06 12:10

Right above your knee.

SPEAKER_01 12:12

Right. It's like none of this makes sense. Yeah, and have you tried to find jeans without holes in them lately? Right.

SPEAKER_06 12:18

We literally had teachers walking around the halls holding duct tape.

SPEAKER_03 12:22

Yeah. Yeah. It's just crazy, dude. I don't understand.

SPEAKER_06 12:26

I don't get it. And like you said, it's sending mixed uh messages, and one of the messages is saying that the things you're wearing, the the short uh shorts or the cutoff, whatever it is, is too revealing and it's going to be distracting other people, i.e., boys. Right. So you need to cover up, not the boys need to learn boys to stop being little perverts. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 12:57

Yeah. And then also they're you're a year away from going into college who could care less. Right. So now you're culture shocked because you're going from strict dress code into college where they're like, we don't care, wear pajamas if you want. And it's like it's such a huge jump. And it's like, wait, college is supposed to be the next level up, but they're less strict on hats in school, on stuff like that. And it's just very weird that, and it's like making a rule to make people follow it just for the sake of making the rule.

Discipline Problems And Consequences

SPEAKER_06 14:08

Well, um, it was I think it was a dude, Rockefeller or whatever, that created the school system, right? Or something like that. And I think it was a quote or something where he said the whole the purpose of the school system is to make workers, right? People that follow the rules. Yeah, right. Yeah. So it's like all I I mean, really, that's what the I don't you know, I'm sure private schools are different from each other, but the public school system is designed to make employees, essentially.

SPEAKER_03 14:40

Which we had it, it was a lot more strict when we were in school. But Zeke, what is some of the stuff? I know y'all deal with like the no cell phone, which again, we couldn't have cell phones either when they finally were more readily available. But what's something in y'all school? Like, we got to the point where we couldn't eat in class, you couldn't have crackers in class. So they've they've relaxed a little bit on some of that. But what's some of the stuff that y'all deal with in school nowadays that is just kind of these things that are like, why is this a rule?

SPEAKER_08 15:09

So for me, right.

SPEAKER_06 15:10

Well, he seems like he's locked up, he's ready to go.

SPEAKER_08 15:12

Like, I've had this in my mind.

SPEAKER_06 15:15

So like you've been holding it in.

SPEAKER_08 15:17

Yeah, so some kids in my grade, right? Basically, most of my kids, they're hostile to each other for absolutely no reason. Yeah. And when when you actually like fight back, when they like, if they like push you or something, then you get in trouble for some reason. Yeah. And it's and the other person that already started it doesn't get in trouble. Yeah. So that's just one that I have no idea why.

SPEAKER_07 15:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 15:42

And um, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 15:44

I know one I know one that always drove me crazy, and I think it still goes on now, is when the whole class gets in trouble because some kids want to act up.

SPEAKER_08 15:51

That's okay. My class, my class is miserable. Like, I don't like my class. I want to switch classes so bad. There's like one good kid in my class, and the others are just, yeah. And Miss Like my teacher, right? There'd be like three people talking, and she'd know those three people, but she would still get the entire class in trouble.

SPEAKER_03 16:15

Yeah. Just because those three people are acting up. Yeah. It drove me crazy. Drove me crazy. That's that's literally a training tactic in boot camp. Yeah. Everybody's got it. Well, and I it drives me crazy when like even coaching, when coaches do it. Like, oh, the whole team's running because the one guy couldn't get it right. And I get what they're doing. Like, we're a team, but also that's that's causing a few things. Now you're you're pointing the one kid out, and instead of him fixing what he's done, now everybody's got to do it. You're making the whole team mad at this one kid. You know, everybody's yelling at this kid now, so it's putting a bullseye on this kid. It's like, no, how about you work with that one? You know, and every now and then I get it like, hey, we're all in this together, we're all gonna run. But after a while, it's like if the kid keeps messing up, maybe make the kid do it.

SPEAKER_01 17:03

Right. Make that one kid deal with his own consequences.

SPEAKER_03 17:07

Yeah, because nowhere else in life is that if a if you're on a line at work and this one dude's bad, they're not firing the whole line. Right. They're gonna get rid of the one guy. So it nowhere else in life is that is that gonna be the case.

SPEAKER_01 17:22

And Jennifer, she has the exact opposite problem because she's a teacher at the school she's at. So we have one particular child that everybody knows is kind of our problem child. So his teacher will continually come and tell Jennifer, hey, Luke's doing this, hey, Luke's doing this. Hey, she's told her and told her and told her. But she doesn't. She just keeps coming and telling Jennifer.

SPEAKER_07 17:54

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 17:54

Well, she came and told her the other day, she's like, Luke's got in this habit where he wants to play in the bathroom, play in the water. And now he's got another kid doing it, a new kid. So now he's teaching another kid. Oh man. So she told her, she's like, Look, I've told you a thousand times what to do. Yeah. She's like, I don't, I don't, I don't know what you expect from me. He there's a process to dealing with with kids. Go do what you're supposed to do.

SPEAKER_06 18:23

There's a reason why she's going to Jennifer, it's because so she doesn't have to deal with it. Right. That that's that's why.

SPEAKER_01 18:29

But she's still dealing with it all day long.

SPEAKER_06 18:31

That's that's why uh because when uh when we were when we were fostering Inman eventually he moved in with my dad and stepmom. You know, he went to Malden, where my stepmom teaches. When they found out, oh, you're fostering him now. Anytime he got in trouble, they'd go to her and she she would say the same thing. Treat him like any write him up.

SPEAKER_01 18:51

Right. Just real simple thing. Yeah. He got he got Blaze is his brother, you know. We so he for whatever reason got him on the ground and was hitting him in the bathroom. And then the teacher broke it up and Luke like pointed a fake gun at him, you know, like a like finger gun. So I was like, he's gonna get suspended for this, there's no doubt. So Jennifer's like, Well, I'll let you know, you know, if I need to come home with him or if you can come get him or whatever, we're gonna whatever we need to do. So I'm waiting and waiting and waiting, and she's like, Yeah, he didn't get anything. He got like not much, and it turns out that the teacher only wrote down like a small part of what he actually did wrong, yeah. So that he didn't get in as much trouble. And I'm like, You're all you're doing is making it okay for him to act like that.

SPEAKER_06 19:44

Yeah, yeah. Nice, nice. It's you know, teachers that do things like that, and and even more so parents that try to uh cover up their kids' mistakes or or you know do things like that, eventually you're gonna be paying for the lawyer. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 20:05

I'll never forget the video I saw one time. It was a lady they were interviewing, and she was she was crying and stuff, and she's like I'm trying to remember exactly how she said it. She said, I can't believe they shot my baby when all he was doing was robbing their store.

SPEAKER_04 20:21

What? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Dumb games get dumb consequences.

SPEAKER_08 20:27

Exactly. Exactly, right? Exactly.

SPEAKER_03 20:29

Yeah. Yeah, it's crazy. So it's, I mean, and it's a hard thing because there's no, I don't, there's no right answer because there has to be rules and regulations, but it's like, where does that because it seems like it just keeps getting moved further and further and further and further and further.

SPEAKER_06 20:45

But the crappy part about it is, you know, is like these no rules and regulations. Are they the right solution? Maybe, maybe not, but unfortunately there's a reason someone had to come up with it. Right.

SPEAKER_01 21:01

Well, somebody has to do something at some point.

SPEAKER_06 21:03

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 21:03

You know, we can't just let problems be problems.

Zeke’s Slang Quiz Challenge

SPEAKER_06 21:06

And people are okay with being the reason why people have to create more rules and regulations. Yeah. That's that's that's where the problem is. People are okay with with causing problems.

SPEAKER_08 21:17

I got a question. Yeah. What's liberty mean?

SPEAKER_03 21:20

Liberty?

SPEAKER_08 21:21

Liberty, liberty, freedom.

unknown 21:23

Gosh damn.

SPEAKER_03 21:24

That is insurance. It's liberty mute. You have a mute button over there.

SPEAKER_08 21:29

Gecko Geico. Amen.

unknown 21:35

I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 21:35

Anyway.

SPEAKER_06 21:36

Speaking of consequences, speaking of say freedom of speech does not require a microphone. Oh, not even that, man.

SPEAKER_03 21:42

Hit the button. Speaking of Zeke, so I wanted to do, before we go into that, so what's up? I wanted to do a segment here where Zeke is gonna tell us some words. Oh no. Some slang words. I'm afraid because it might make me feel old. And we have to guess what they mean. All right. So I I have not any insight into this. I just told him this is what he's gonna be doing. So we're gonna.

SPEAKER_01 22:09

Are we taking turns? Or is okay?

SPEAKER_03 22:11

Yeah, and we'll just go around the room, so one at a time. So we'll start with Richard, go to Tyler, then to me.

SPEAKER_08 22:17

I wrote it on my phone, so I can't. Can I go get my phone real quick?

SPEAKER_03 22:19

Yes, yes. Go ahead. Yeah. Yeah. He's gonna go grab his phone. I don't know where it's at.

SPEAKER_01 22:24

I love it when young people are prepared.

SPEAKER_03 22:26

Yeah. Yeah. So I was like, hey, I was like, come up with some cool like slang, and then we're gonna figure it out. And then for that's what's up, we're gonna, instead of saying what we've been watching, listening to, we're gonna look at a few movie trailers on stuff coming up and see what we may be excited about, what we're not excited about. So we're gonna take it out and and watch it live. And yes, all of them, and see see what we think. Yeah, I'm down. Yeah? Sound good? I like it. Yeah. Jamie's here. Right. Right.

SPEAKER_01 23:06

I'm getting the hard word now. Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 23:10

All right.

SPEAKER_01 23:12

All right, you ready? Get my phone now. Yeah. These things change weekly. It's so hard to keep track. It does.

SPEAKER_06 23:19

It really is, yeah. Apparently there was. Skibity isn't really a thing anymore.

SPEAKER_08 23:24

Heck no, bro. It's a dead open. I still don't know what it means. That's never that's never been a thing to like to me.

SPEAKER_03 23:31

Well, here, while you're doing that, I'll I'll do the cameras.

SPEAKER_08 23:35

Alright, y'all ready? So Richard first. Sure, why not? It's embarrassing first. First one. Motion. Motion?

SPEAKER_03 35:27

Really? It's not an emotion. That is not an emotion. Exactly what I said. Oh my gosh. Okay, anyway.

SPEAKER_06 35:36

I regret not saying anything though.

SPEAKER_08 36:14

Yoshi's carrying. Quite literally. Literally.

SPEAKER_03 36:27

And I know I can't, I I can't stand Jack Black, but he he is perfect for Bowser. Yeah. I really, really do like him.

SPEAKER_06 36:34

He's like a real life Bowser.

SPEAKER_03 36:35

SPEAKER_03 37:37

Yeah. Yeah, it it it looks fantastic.

SPEAKER_01 37:40

Yep.

SPEAKER_03 37:42

So they got the dinosaur from Mario Odyssey.

unknown 37:44

Hello, I guess.

SPEAKER_03 37:47

That thing from the first one was so funny.

SPEAKER_08 37:50

That thing's living its best life. Right.

SPEAKER_03 37:53

It was like gloom and doom. But yeah, that that is a that is a day one absolute watch as soon as it comes out. That's what that is. Yep. You know, it it man, it's gonna be a good one.

SPEAKER_01 38:06

Yeah, and Jennifer might go watch that on our uh weekend, whatever.

SPEAKER_03 38:09

That's about that, yeah. That's that time, yeah. That's right that weekend, yeah. Um and I know, oh, what was the other one we were talking about?

SPEAKER_01 38:17

Um Spider Man.

SPEAKER_03 38:19

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 38:21

Spiderman.

SPEAKER_06 38:22

Yeah, it looks it looks crazy also. That renewal of your mind scriptures, Romans. Romans 12, 2.

SPEAKER_03 38:30

Is it?

SPEAKER_06 38:31

You sure? Yep. It was uh it was one of his tabs.

SPEAKER_02 38:42

Come on, pretend like you're not the same.

SPEAKER_03 38:44

This is the Spider-Man brand new day.

SPEAKER_01 38:48

And I had completely forgotten that in the last movie they had to forget him, yeah, like his friends. Yep. Completely forgot about that. That was a cool shot.

SPEAKER_03 39:02

And I like how they're gonna. They're kind of going darker with it.

SPEAKER_01 39:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 39:06

You don't remember me, but we used to know each other. Something bad was gonna happen, and the only way to stop it was to make everyone forget about me.

SPEAKER_03 39:15

Still think to this day he is the greatest superhero on the on the planet.

SPEAKER_01 39:20

I think Tom Holland's the greatest Spider-Man.

SPEAKER_03 39:22

I do too. Yeah. Uh Punisher.

SPEAKER_02 39:31

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 39:37

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 39:40

Sometimes Spider-Man has to do the hard thing, even if it breaks Peter Parker's heart.

SPEAKER_04 39:45

Yeah, that's pretty rough.

SPEAKER_00 39:47

Yeah. What is happening?

SPEAKER_01 39:50

That's what it looked like when you were in uh junior high watching Jamie at the end.

SPEAKER_03 39:54

That's exactly right. Yeah, so that, okay. So, no spoilers, so if you haven't seen any of the other Spider-Mans leading up to this, you might want to mute it for a second. Yeah. Um so he doesn't organically make web. Right. So he has he has the things he has extract. That's the original kind of thing, isn't it? Kind of. Okay, so there is a comic series where it he goes through a a metamorphosis where he develops being able to do that. And that's what happens right there is something is happening to him, and you see he like checked and he's like, oh no, as he's falling, he didn't have his webs, right, uh, cartridges on, but he was still he was able, so he's developing that and being able to make that, you know. So it looks like, man, that that that's kind of where they're gonna go with it. Right. Um but yeah, I don't know why it started over.

SPEAKER_06 40:52

I saw the beginning of this where it's got that shot like inside his mask. I saw someone comment. I was like, yeah, I didn't know there's that much room inside his mask.

SPEAKER_03 41:02

He has a whole camera in there. That's funny.

SPEAKER_08 41:17

I need your help.

SPEAKER_03 41:20

Yeah, so everybody has forgotten who he is. And it and it makes sense with the name, like brand new day. Like it makes sense. Scorpion. Oh. I think that's the hand that he's facing against, so the Daredevil's probably gonna be in it.

SPEAKER_01 42:07

Oh, it's gonna look so good.

SPEAKER_03 42:10

Yeah, it looks when does it open up? Um, it comes. Did it say April? I think so. April is gonna be stacked with movies. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, okay, so what was it? I'm trying to think. Click on the more, I think it might say. Theaters had it, it was saying something about um look that up on your phone. See when when the new Spider-Man cut like the release date. Did I see a preview for a movie called Maul?

SPEAKER_01 42:39

Like Darth Maul?

SPEAKER_06 42:41

Yes.

SPEAKER_08 42:41

I don't really watch movies, but like Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 42:46

I I know it's gonna be fantastic. I'm I'm worried it won't surpass my feeling, it probably won't, of when all three Spider-Man. Oh, that was the best. That my because I remember one of the one of the first movies I remember going to see in theaters was um I can't remember if it was the first Spider-Man or Spider-Man 2. Yeah. Uh so I and Spider-Man was my favorite superhero growing up, and it's like it was kind of like my adult self is screaming as well as my you know 10-year-old self is also screaming in that moment. And you know, I I like Andrew Garfield too as uh as Spider-Man too. Yeah, I think I think it's funny how you know the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man, it's just Spider-Man. Um Tom Hall and Spider-Man is just Spider-Man, both Andrew Garfield, it's the amazing Spider-Man. Yeah, and they're in that scene, he's like, Oh man, I'm lame. And and the and the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man's like, can we can we pause right there? You're not you're amazing. Yeah, yeah. Like, stop talking like that about your scene came across uh my uh Facebook feed today.

Dune And Theater Movies Return

SPEAKER_03 44:00

And so because he yeah, he's like, What y'all get to fight aliens? I just I just fought like a like a normal guy, like a rhino. Yeah, it's just so funny.

SPEAKER_06 44:09

It was like the the electro guy's like, oh, he was such a sweet guy before he fell into a tub full of electric eels.

SPEAKER_03 44:18

Tony where I was like, that'll do it. So and then like he stretched it, he's like, Yeah, I just got this back thing, you know. It's so funny. Yeah, and then here's the other one, which I I'm I'm trying to kind of watch. I want to make sure that no like no cuss words come across or anything like that, but I don't think they do, so I just want to make sure I don't remember if they do in trailers.

SPEAKER_01 44:37

I don't remember the any cuss words being in the first two movies.

SPEAKER_03 44:39

Yeah, not not many, yeah. This so this is the new Dune. So if y'all haven't seen this, it'd be the third Dune, and it it is just a great series. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 44:51

Look at that. Zands and everything. Two different previews, yeah. She's busy. Yeah. She's a really good actress.

SPEAKER_03 45:05

Which Tyler, have you seen these? Oh, dude, they're fantastic.

SPEAKER_01 45:09

They are awesome movies.

SPEAKER_03 45:26

Which I don't know if this is gonna be it or if they're making more after this.

SPEAKER_01 45:29

Yeah, I don't know. I don't know how many books there are.

SPEAKER_03 45:32

And I can't remember. I like the idea of more space stuff going on.

SPEAKER_01 45:46

So you can feel like you're watching Star Wars.

SPEAKER_03 45:48

Yeah, come on. This movie's got a bunch of big actors in it, too. Yeah, my family.

unknown 46:00

Oh.

SPEAKER_06 46:00

We got some samurais in there? Yeah. Yeah, there's a lot of fighting scenes. We got sand people, we got aliens, and we got the Japanese. Exactly. Exactly. December.

SPEAKER_08 46:14

Dang.

SPEAKER_03 46:14

Yeah. Well, that's what's crazy, is they're all this year. All those movies are this year. You see who that was?

SPEAKER_07 46:27

Just in the must not die. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 46:50

Yeah. Dude, I cannot wa that if it wasn't for Spider-Man, that would probably be the one I'm most excited for.

SPEAKER_06 46:59

Right. I feel like Zende is one of those actresses that are she's getting her start in some real big films and is just going to she's just gonna explode in like being one of the top A-list actresses out there.

SPEAKER_03 47:15

And I don't, I I was gonna say, I I don't think she is a good actress.

SPEAKER_01 47:21

I disagree.

Marvel’s Comeback With Doomsday

SPEAKER_03 47:22

I think she does what she needs to do, but I just don't, she's the same in every single movie. You're the same in every movie, and and that's not a bad thing. There's a lot of there's a lot of actors that I like their movies that are the same in everything. Adam Sandler, for the most part, is the same in everything. That's true, but it's fantastic. But I yeah, it's just I I still like it, so it doesn't take away from anything. I just I just think she's exactly the same in in kind of every movie she's in.

SPEAKER_01 47:45

Whatever. I'm calling her and telling her. Dang. Speed dial. Mrs. Holland.

SPEAKER_03 47:51

Yeah, they got married.

SPEAKER_01 47:53

Her and Tom Holland. I did not know that. That's crazy. I didn't even know they were a thing.

SPEAKER_06 47:57

Yeah, yeah, they didn't take it. It's probably been almost a year. Wow. Since they got married. Yeah, because they got married sometime, I think, right after the uh was it No Way Home? I think so, yeah. Yeah. The last one.

SPEAKER_01 48:07

So I think it is safe to say this year movies are back.

SPEAKER_03 48:12

Yes. Yeah, I think so. Yeah, I I would have to agree. Because there was something else I I watched or wanted to watch that was also like a big movie and it did really good, but I can't remember what it was. But yeah, yeah, like big blockbuster movies that are just I have to see this in theater. Yes, because I can't tell you how many movies I'm like, man, that looks good, but I'll wait for it to come out you know at home and watch. And and there's not a lot that I'm like, I know I have to watch that in theaters. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 48:39

Well, it for a long time, I guess, because of COVID, they did a lot of releasing straight to streaming. Yeah, yeah. You know, Adam Sandler, we've talked about him, most of his movies are Netflix movies because he has an exclusive contract with them now. So to see stuff hit in theaters again, it's gonna be huge.

SPEAKER_03 48:56

Yep. And yeah, I think like you said, it's COVID. So COVID hit, and then right after that, the the writer strike hit. Right, right. So I mean, movies took a big, big dip. And and these may just be these big blockbusters, dumb action movies that really don't have a lot of story, but sometimes that's all you want out of a movie. It's like I I just want a good movie to enjoy, to go, oh, ah, wow, big and explosions and not a lot of story. That's fine, which Dune is full of story, but like that's what we go. We go to be entertained. Right. Like it doesn't have to have these messages in it, it doesn't have to be this big thing of like we need to make sure that we get this point across on this certain thing. It's like, no, I just kind of want to go and turn my brain off and eat some popcorn, watch a movie.

SPEAKER_01 49:44

I'm trying to escape the news.

SPEAKER_03 49:46

Right, right, exactly.

SPEAKER_08 49:47

More to combat, more to combat. Oh, that is another one.

SPEAKER_03 49:50

Yes, that's one, yeah, that's a that's a day one. Street Fighter coming out. Street Fighter's coming out. Yeah, I forgot about that too.

SPEAKER_08 49:56

Avengers doomsday.

SPEAKER_03 49:57

Yeah, that that'll be, I think, 20 December this year. Is it December this year? Yeah. Okay, yes, it is. Yeah, okay. That's what I was thinking.

SPEAKER_06 50:04

Because I just watched uh two of the trailers. Um there uh I don't even know if you like ex actually consider it a trailer, but it was like it's it was Captain Rogers. Yeah, it just a little clip and said Captain Rogers will return for Avengers Doomsday. And there was a I can't remember who the second person was. Did you see the trailer with him in it? Like with Captain, yeah, yeah, he's yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 50:30

He's in it, in it. Where like he picks the baby up. Yeah. Um so IMAX, they just had a big battle. Um, Dune and um and Avengers, and Dune won out, so they exclusively had the IMAX rights for like the first two months or something like that. So IMAX can only show that over. I mean, that's a pretty big deal. That shows you kind of how far, you know, um Marvel, Marvel has fallen from where they were at, is that that Dune won over that that fight.

SPEAKER_06 51:04

And I hope I hope they do redeem themselves. It doesn't have to be the spectacular thing that Endgame was, but it needs to be something remarkable. Yeah. Well, it's it they because it's not going to be another Dune.

SPEAKER_01 51:19

They kind of shot themselves in the foot because Infinity War and Endgame, I mean, it was that's just about as as fantastic as it gets where it comes to superhero movies. I mean, it would it had everybody.

SPEAKER_03 51:29

And they do I and I and I think I think they really do have a chance to capture that again with the lineup that they have for this movie going forward. I mean, they're bringing which of course, this is kind of them backpedaling and going, uh-oh, we messed up. Right, right. So we're gonna bring these guys back. We're gonna bring back. Yeah. But the lineup in this in Doomsday is double the lineup of what we've had in in Infinity War and and Endgame. So you're talking the X-Men, Fantastic Four, the Punisher, you know, all of these huge, huge, because now they they've scooped up uh 20th Century Fox. Right. And so now they've scooped up all these. So I think they're gonna be rebooting X-Men during this. There's gonna be a whole new cast on all these these X-Men characters, Fantastic Four, they're gonna be brought in.

SPEAKER_01 52:21

So are they going to be introducing new, new, not new characters, but new versions of these characters?

SPEAKER_03 52:29

Yes, and I think it's gonna be both. I think they're because because like Patrick Stewart's in it. Oh, yeah. So I think they're gonna be doing both. Okay, pulling them from different timelines and kind of pulling them all in. So I think they're gonna introduce a young, like, hey, here's our here's our X-Men going forward. Right.

SPEAKER_01 52:44

You know, our new young did they ever finalize the Gambit movie?

SPEAKER_03 52:48

Is that is that still I think it's still up in the air. I know, I know um what's his name? It's still tied to it. Um, Channing Tatum's still tied to it. Your favorite actor. And he really does look good as Gambit. Yeah. Like when when I don't want to say because you haven't seen the movie yet, but he makes a special Oh my gosh, here he is. But and he really does look good, look good as it. He really does. Um, so I've got a little bit of excitement, like, okay, maybe he does good.

Comics Childhood And Pokemon Dreams

Right, you know, in this, but um That's already talking about in the interview about playing Gavin. He's like, yeah, that's like my favorite super. That's the that's the role he absolutely won. I thought I thought that was really cool that he got that opportunity to do that.

SPEAKER_03 53:33

Like, no, I'm a huge fan of this, I want to do it. You know, that I I loved Henry Cav. I'm not a big Superman fan, not a huge Superman fan, but Henry Cavill is a geek at heart. Yeah, he really is.
