Send us a text message! Tell us what you think!
Take a journey with us through a weekend filled with Star Wars delights, Disney adventures, and travel planning as we catch up on our latest escapades. Jack leads us through his whirlwind day at Disneyland's Season of the Force celebrations, bringing us along for his quest to capture the coveted Death Star popcorn bucket and other limited-edition Star Wars collectibles. His vivid description of the breathtaking projection show behind the Millennium Falcon transports listeners right into Galaxy's Edge, where Anakin Skywalker's saga unfolds through stunning visual effects across Batuu's landscape.
The collectibles conversation reaches new heights as Jack presents his treasure trove of Star Wars merchandise, including the much-anticipated Mythosaur mug that's been on our wish list for weeks. We examine each item with the critical eye of true collectors, discussing design, functionality, and of course, the emotional value of owning these pieces of the Star Wars universe. This segues naturally into our excited planning for the upcoming trip to Japan and Star Wars Celebration, complete with discussions about exclusive merchandise opportunities and cultural experiences awaiting us overseas.
Our entertainment discussions take a turn toward the Marvel universe as we break down the latest episodes of Daredevil: Born Again. We analyze the fighting choreography, narrative structure, and character development with the passion of true fans, offering insights into what's working and what could be improved. The conversation wraps with a quick look at recent box office performances, highlighting the surprising success of smaller films against major studio releases.
Whether you're a Disney parks enthusiast, Star Wars collector, or simply enjoy listening to friends share their genuine passion for pop culture, this episode captures the excitement of fandom and the joy of sharing these experiences with like-minded souls. Join us for laughs, insights, and the pure joy of geeking out over the things we love!

I did not have any issues with my fingers, my thumb is usually what hurts my thumb. Oh yeah, we put it up poopers. That's what happens, especially if they squeeze too hard.

Speaker 3:really weird when it's your bowling ball and your thumb comes out brown.
Speaker 2:I mean mine comes out brown, no matter what, that's true Yours goes in brown.

Speaker 1:When you see the back of your thumb Lou, it's all brown and then, as you rotate it, it looks like you washed it but didn't get the creases.

Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, I worked there at an antique mall, so yeah that is definitely ultimate white people shit when you're wrapping up, fucking four sets of China every day.
Speaker 1:It's so crazy to me how, like you know how most stores like you go to, like a target, like every target looks the same. You go to every walmart. There may be differences in the footprint, but the layout is generally, you see, antique mall. You have no fucking idea what you're getting. Like. We went into like a half a dozen antique malls and and like there was literally one that there was like the ceiling was falling in and we were. We were like does everybody's phone? Is everybody's phone on? Do they have a bar?
Speaker 1:like and then we would go in ones where, like there, no dust in the place, everything's wiped down. It's just. It's so crazy how they have the same name but they can be so different, different and then for the first time.
Speaker 1:I got to take the baby Bronco out on the beach. Got to break her in, so that was fun, okay, okay, so, yeah. So up in Washington there's places that you can go and drive vehicles out on the beach, so that's some more white people, shit. I got to get Lou. When you come and visit Lou, we're going gonna go do cookies out on the beach in my Bronco.
Speaker 2:Look, I'm fine eating cookies, but I ain't. There's probably sand just kicking all up all over the place. You probably know.
Speaker 1:You bet you're inside the car and the windows are rolled up. You're fine.
Speaker 2:Everything sealed off.
Speaker 1:Yep, everything sealed off.
Speaker 2:You're going to close all the vents and give me a mask to put on Scuba gear.

Speaker 2:You need to have the AC on recycled air before you start.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, you need to have the AC on recycled air before you start. Yeah, internal air. Turn that shit to the inside, yeah, and then we're immediately going to a car wash because Lou is not getting out of the car.
Speaker 2:How am I going to get out of the car at that point, man? Hose that baby off, Shit no.
Speaker 1:And then this afternoon, people I'm going to EDC with were doing like a hang and talk about the music, because they've announced all the lineups and the stages. We don't have set times yet, but we have an idea about who we want to see and that type of thing Boots and pants, and boots and pants. So, and then, yeah, lost track of time. It was supposed to be done at five. They went, ah, let's get dinner. And I went, oh, okay, and then all of a sudden I was like, oh shit, I got to go. Bye, they have alarms on phones.
Speaker 2:You know, you can set an alarm.
Speaker 1:Actually, on the way back, I'm like I'm going to set an alarm for myself for 630 on Sundays 630?. You need 90 minutes. Make sure he wraps up early. Yeah, I want to make sure that if I'm His polite goodbyes? Yeah, if I'm having a conversation with somebody.

Speaker 1:disappear to what's going on. Yeah, on, yeah, I'm gonna set the alarm, so then I don't know long. Goodbye, uh, so, yeah, so then again, just uh. Yeah, this is just now. Now the hype train for I was gonna say bro you got nine days yeah, the hype train to start, dude. Okay, this is the one thing I hate about telling people that you're traveling is everybody goes. Are you excited yet? Are you excited yet? And you're like just chill.
Speaker 2:I still got an 18-hour flight.
Speaker 1:I got a lot. You're going to stress me out. Stop talking. Until that plane takes off from Honolulu to go to Tokyo. Everything can go wrong, so just like, let's just Can we just wait till we get there? Calm down.
Speaker 2:It'll probably take me two days before I'm like Right, I will send you a message that says I landed. I'm excited.
Speaker 3:My first panties out of the capsule machine? Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1:Here's my excited face in Japan as I land on the plane, just unconscious.
Speaker 3:Thank you for not pulling your eyes to the side. I totally thought that's where we were going.
Speaker 1:Oh my god, this guy. You get this motherfucker tired and all of a sudden he's just, he's fucking rip-torn over here he's trying to blindfold the locals with dental floss.
Speaker 2:That's so rude.
Speaker 1:And now we've just been. Oh wait my phone. I just got a text I'm banned. I've now been banned from Japan. So this is why I didn't get excited. Guys, if you show up here, you will go to prison. Oh, okay, I guess I'm not going to Japan. I'm no longer excited, thank you.
Speaker 2:All I can think of is Eddie Murphy when he's talking about like do Japanese people or the Asians make fun of Americans? They go to McDonald's and stuff Big back, big DLT. I hope they do me too. I think it'd be so funny.
Speaker 3:If they did that would be awesome to experience some racism while I'm in japan well, I'm black, so I'm going to not from the police no, no no, you're gonna, you're gonna be, hanging out with us, so you're definitely gonna at least get racism from us.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that goes without saying that's regular.
Speaker 3:That says Sunday night.
Speaker 2:I'm going to get racism from myself. What are you talking about?
Speaker 3:Listen. We're like who's talking loud in here?
Speaker 2:Oh, he's like I thought I left America. Oh yeah, that's right, they're right.
Speaker 1:I don't understand what they're saying on the TV, but don't go in there. Don't go in there.
Speaker 2:We have to go to a movie theater just to see how everybody else reacts.
Speaker 1:I told you we should go to the movies. That would be awesome, the whole experience would be cool, I think.
Speaker 2:Oh my God, got to watch a movie though, so I can yell at the TV. So I can yell at the TV, so you yell at the screen.
Speaker 1:What you doing. Okay, I have to admit I'm a little excited about hearing Luke go Godzilla, godzilla, run you motherfuckers, run he's coming the work of evangelicalism out there. How about yourself, Luke? How was your week?
Speaker 2:Not too bad. I had Friday off. I get a day off a month just because of our evening meetings and it happened to be Friday Before that. It worked out well because Thursday was Meow Wolf and Lord have mercy. I can't tell you how many drinks Meow Wolf and Lord have mercy. I can't tell you how many drinks, but their old-fashioned was pretty tasty I had to make sure the other two times. And then just the straight whiskey Cokes on top of that and then something with some fire water in it. I don't know, it was. The bar was fantastic. Meow Wolf itself, not my jam, Really. I mean, look, I can appreciate it. I can appreciate how others can appreciate it, it's just not for me. They had different areas. It was this crazy colored art shit that made no sense to me.
Speaker 1:Oh, that makes sense.
Speaker 2:Yeah, exactly. There was one location that I thought was fantastic and that was the area that kind of looked like the Last of Us. It was like fungus type, like a unicorn that get all fungled out and everything. I was like, ok, that was cool, but I started in that room because you just roam around, right. I started in that room and then after I left there After I left that, yeah, it was just like okay.
Speaker 2:So this car has its wheels turned weirdly and this barbershop is weird and this looks like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles van over here. It was just a bunch of shit that just made no sense to me. I couldn't appreciate it. Again, I could understand how others could like it, especially those in the art world, not me. It was just like okay, it's time to go to the bar, and I made myself you availed yourself. Yeah, I was like, let me go to the bar.
Speaker 3:Maybe you should have drank and then went.
Speaker 2:Or shrooms or some other psychedelic. I think I agree with you. I'm not even joking. I think if I was a little bit high on fill in the blank choice, I think it would have been way more appreciated.
Speaker 3:Ars here has a grocery store or some shit. What's that? Ars here has a grocery store. Whoa, that's weird and all the art is like food built into the market.
Speaker 2:See, that seems kind of cool, right?
Speaker 1:So after we become John Wick, we can go and do that.
Speaker 2:Okay, the main area. Honestly, the best way I can describe it is like a movie. If I was in the original total recall just walking down the streets like whatever their shopping district was.
Speaker 1:It was just like the art, it just reminded me like, honestly, like I was in total recall except for the, the last room, the johnny cab and lack johnny cab, I thought you were gonna say the most, uh, the most enjoyable part for you and the part that was the most normal to you was the bathroom. You went in and you're like, wow, this is super cool, just the bathroom, oh right.
Speaker 2:They did so good at this.
Speaker 1:The lines in the bathroom were perfect.
Speaker 2:No, they weren't. There was one wall that was crooked, it was just the tile. You know it's not lined up, so you have the one that's like a little sliver in the corner. It's like that little long ass. I saw sleaze triangle. Yeah, no, they had that in the bathroom.
Speaker 3:Oh, that reminds me. Next time we go to Disneyland, I'm going to show you something's going to mess with your OCD. Oh no, it's going to make your head explode. You, you know where we got the lockers last time.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so to the right of there.
Speaker 2:The ones we actually used.
Speaker 3:Yes, yeah, yeah yeah, not the ones in the room. So there's like a water fountain or something on the right and I guess they couldn't build it correctly. And the brick wall there's like three bricks that are like bent, almost it's like an arch Something happened when they were constructing it or like a remodel, and the bricks are curved just in one little spot.
Speaker 2:Did the oldest catch it too?
Speaker 3:No, okay.
Speaker 2:That's not going to be fun.
Speaker 1:Was the Meow Wolf family or friends that you went with Work?
Speaker 2:It was a work event. We had a 3.40 timeframe. We got to the bar at about 4.40 and stayed till like 7.30 in the bar, nice. So yeah, it was like from my office, I think there were five or six of us from my office and then our other office in Aurora, I think they had five, and then we had our vendor sponsors, uh, so we all kind of just hung out and then we hit the bar and then our office was the last group there. Everybody had bolted like five, six o'clock, you know. Uh, closer to, yeah, closer to six to six. They were gone and it was one, two, three, four, five. There were five of us from our office and one from the other office who were still there at the end as long as the company card still came out, that's all that matters I mean it did, I'm not gonna lie, I'm not gonna lie the vendors.
Speaker 2:The vendors covered a lot of it. They split it and then uh, and then the company card after they had left covered the last two rounds. Yeah, nice, and those do we call that team building. It is man yeah team building has 16 a drink dang 80 around I, I do miss.
Speaker 1:I do miss when we would go to like, we would have the like happy hour with like the group, and then we, and then the boss, the manager, would say, okay, so, uh, in order for me to be able to write this off, we have to talk about some team building or something. So I'm just going to let you guys know that you did a great job. Uh, this quarter everything's going well. Um, you know, please keep doing what you're doing.
Speaker 3:And now, let's order as long as you say the word work once we're good, yep exactly and I refer to you as my underlings.
Speaker 2:We're good but but I think a lot of people can enjoy me. I will. If not gonna lie it just it did have some cool shit. I'm not gonna. It was like it had some cool stuff. I was like, all right, this ain't completely terrible, but overall it wasn't for me. That's right, nothing you're going back to. No, I don't need to go back again, I'm fine. If somebody else wanted to go, yeah, I'd go with you and be like all right, maybe I'll see something different or some room that I didn't catch last time or whatever. A lot of up and down with the go in here and, okay, like how are people seeking this angle? Some cool laser effects and whatnot. It was kind of cool. Just not for me cool. I'm glad I did it One and done type of thing. Don't need to do it again. But if a group wanted to go, I would go.
Speaker 1:And you would do like you did at the Mob Museum and you'd be like I'll be in the bar when you guys are done.
Speaker 2:Yep, They'd be like you guys. Have fun Bar's on the second floor. I'll be in there.
Speaker 1:I will be the loud one in the corner because I'll probably be four drinks in by the time you show up Like I need four drinks to be loud. Sorry and obnoxious. Wait, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 2:Wait, no, still doesn't do it Still doesn't do it.
Speaker 3:Louder. Actually, a lot does not change at Lou when he's drunk Depends on who.
Speaker 2:who else is in the bar too, that's true.
Speaker 1:That's true.
Speaker 2:He's basically the same drunk and sober, unlike the other person in the chat. Pretty butt. Oh shit Jack that's a perfect segue into.
Speaker 1:Let's open up your weekend. Are you talking?
Speaker 2:about me.
Speaker 3:I'm the one that gets drunk in the actual act, Tom.
Speaker 2:Yes, never. How were you after three?
Speaker 1:How were you after three? Oh after three beers, three mythosaurs. Yeah, he became a mythosaur.
Speaker 2:I can feel it.
Speaker 3:It's only 4.5, but yeah, I can feel it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he would have to pee a lot, that's for sure.
Speaker 1:All right, start from the beginning and work your way through, and then we'll do show and tell.
Speaker 3:So the girls decided to leave In the morning, saturday morning, right. I don't know if that was a good idea, because that kind of sucked. So I get home at 9.30, right, regular night. I get home at 9.30, go to bed. I think I was in bed about 10.30, between 10.30 and 11. Early yeah bed. I think I was in bed about 10.30, between 10.30 and 11. Early yeah, the fucking alarm goes off at 3.30. I'm like I hate my life, kill me Shower. But the night before they had packed what? Wow. So it wasn't that bad. It was made for a long fucking day. So we stopped at del taco natural breakfast. Let's just I ate there, um. And we got to disneyland about.
Speaker 2:It wasn't early enough for ronto wraps I was gonna say there's no way, yeah, so it's like after 11, right, because aren't ron's done at 11?
Speaker 3:yeah, 11 is yeah, they stopped at 10.30. 10.30, yeah, Did I text you guys when I got there. I don't even know.
Speaker 1:I thought he said that I'm here and he was tired.
Speaker 3:One of the first things we did was I sent you that churro Well, I sent the Well. I had the Death Star. I sent the Death Star picture at 10.39.
Speaker 1:That was the one with all of them in those baskets right, yeah, and that was at 1027 that I sent that. Yeah, so we got there by the time, but by the time you made it back to Galaxy's Edge, they wouldn't serve it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, probably not, but that's fine, because I really just went for the Death Star Popcorn Buckets.
Speaker 2:Is that at GE or is that at Tomorrowland?
Speaker 3:That was everywhere. I got them at Tomorrowland, but by the time we made it over to Galaxy's Edge, all the popcorn stands just had tons of them. So people that are flipping them. I hope that you get the early sales, because that shit is not going to flip for long.
Speaker 2:Well, it will, because not everybody can get there.
Speaker 1:Right, but if the market gets flooded, you're going to start inching down towards retail price yeah, yeah, yeah so if you weren't flipping them in the first few days, I don't think it's going to do well for you. But then you said you were talking about something where they were like if you used your pass, if you used your annual.
Speaker 3:If you're using your discount but you don't get discounts on those, so they might not catch you?
Speaker 1:What was?
Speaker 3:it, then, that you were talking about with the discount? No, it is that. Yeah if you use something like with your discount Disney like stocks, people and shit like big government people and shit Like big government.
Speaker 2:Oh, so they don't stock you for the popcorn buckets, but if you bought something with your discount pass, they'll check your email address down.
Speaker 3:Yeah, they'll check eBay auctions and shit for stuff.
Speaker 2:I don't know, whatever, I don't have a season pass, so I don't care.
Speaker 1:And you don't flip stuff from Disney generally.
Speaker 3:Not generally. No, it's the convention stuff that you guys mostly do.
Speaker 2:Yeah, disney generally, not generally. No, it's the convention stuff that you guys mostly do. Yeah, for sure. I don't know that I've sold you know what? Take that back, the loaf cat, I think.
Speaker 1:I had an extra loaf cat.
Speaker 3:You did buy a couple extra loaf cats, yeah.
Speaker 2:To flip, and that was it. I think that's. The only thing I've really flipped on today is just those loaf cats.
Speaker 3:But yeah, no, it was just a normal-ish day at Disney, so I got my popcorn buckets. We took it back to the Locker. The locker, no, we took it to the locker. I was like, let's get a locker this time.
Speaker 2:That's what I figured Locker, not the car.
Speaker 3:Yeah. So then we did Hyperspace Mountain.
Speaker 2:No, no, no. Then you did a churro that was as big as half the size of your child. That was a big-ass churro dude. Yeah it was See.
Speaker 1:And Lou's response is churros are supposed to be brown. Exactly, that's not a churro, it was a lightsaber.
Speaker 2:A lightsaber churro? No, it's not. That is just a funky-colored churro.
Speaker 1:That is a piece of Mexican bread that's colored blue.
Speaker 3:Yeah, Well, she liked it, so whatever.
Speaker 1:Oh, I'm sure she I mean it's 99% sugar, it's hello, it's a sugar stick. Yeah, if you like this. Yeah, it's a death stick for her.
Speaker 3:She's just like yeah, Plus, she wasn't on her meds yet. She's like let me get a churros and I'll take my meds. I'm like okay, oh, wow, Now she's in the bargaining part of her life.
Speaker 1:already Give me this and I'll do what you want. Right, let me do this, really bad thing.
Speaker 3:And then I'll be good the rest of the day because you're going to medicate me, yeah. So then we did Hyperspace Mountain, which they actually upgraded this year. There was a bunch of stuff I didn't recognize from last time, um different, like screens and like lighting effects, so I was happy with that. Um. And then star tours. They finally didn't end with fucking purgles. It's been a year since last season of the fours when they started the ahsoka and pergols and mando and or and ahsoka, giving you the message in the middle. So for the past year it's been you either start with pod racing or kashyyyk, I think, yeah. So you get pod racing or kashyyyk, then you'll get and or mando or Ahsoka as the message in the middle, and then Pergles. That's all it's been for a year.
Speaker 1:But now it's back to rotation. Now it's back to normal.
Speaker 3:So this time we got the Watermoon of Endor, and then we got the Battle of Exegol. And then who was in the middle? Oh, we got Maz in the middle. So very acceptable, unless you're Duke and you've never seen Episode IX.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you're talking about the Battle of Exegol and I don't know. I know about Lando's battle at Tanab Maneuver, but I was like wait, there's a water planet on Endor what. I only know of a forest.
Speaker 3:There's only a forest moon of Endor. No, there's a water moon of Endor as well.
Speaker 1:That must be Expanded. Universe yeah, it's not canon anymore. Legends it's Legends or whatever.
Speaker 2:The opposite of Legends is.
Speaker 3:After that, I think it's when we wandered over to Galaxy's Edge for Rise, obviously Because you got stuff.
Speaker 3:And then Shit, we saw everybody do. We walked in, um ray was in front of the falcon. We went upstairs and, um shit, what did they go up there for food? I mean, that's like all about food. Yeah, it was about lunchtime so we were eating at Document Bay 7 because they have these pork bao taco buns Delish, nice and spicy. The popcorn place had a the popcorn place where Duke got sucked into buying the chicken wings. They had like a slushy, it was like a, it was like a watermelon sprite slushy, and then they had like some strawberry, like cream in it and like boba balls. It was pretty good. And then Ronto Roasters had a horchata milk tea. That was delicious too.
Speaker 3:So I'm running around all these places. I leave the girls at docking bay seven. So I'm running around getting all this other food while we wait for our order. At docking bay seven I'm like, oh, the coaxium sippers are all sold out. But while we're sitting there I look behind the counter and docking bay seven. I'm like, or not, you just can't mobile order it. So I got in line to get one of those. Um, as far as sippers go.
Speaker 1:How is it?
Speaker 3:I'll show you a minute, but it does not hold a lot at all, like it's cool as fuck, but it's does not but it's a collectible it's not a useful yeah, it's not. I mean it's like your volume is, you're not taking it to the gym.
Speaker 1:It's like two-thirds of the it to the gym. It's like two thirds of the popcorn buckets right. Like two thirds of the popcorn buckets are not useful for popcorn no, no time out like time out as much, as much as I work out at the gym, it'd be.
Speaker 2:It'd be plenty useful. Yeah, the water I would need, whatever I said that's the um, my little one.
Speaker 3:we were on the bus leaving today and my wife had gotten the Thumper Easter popcorn bucket right, so little one's over there eating the popcorn and she's like Daddy just put the popcorn in the popcorn bucket. I'm like who puts popcorn in popcorn buckets? That's just weird. People on the bus behind us started snickering.
Speaker 1:Honey, it drops the value.
Speaker 3:Yeah, hello, you get butter in there. It never comes out.
Speaker 1:yeah, I don't need no I don't need no ants up in my in the casino.
Speaker 2:Yeah, crazy you want ants? That's how you get ants, yeah all right so then you went and rise.
Speaker 1:You're running around document seven, so this is saturday as I come.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's all still saturday. It's a long fucking day, so we come back around. As I was going back to documentary, seven ray was up there with chewy and uh vi marati yeah, the spy chick. I was like dang, that's a lot of fucking people right, how busy was galaxy's edge?
Speaker 3:I didn't think it was horribly busy, like even even the whole weekend. I wasn't like, oh my god, there's too many people here. This sucks, um. And then actually we saw a soak. I'd never seen a soka before, so that was the first time I'd seen a soka. We were walking back towards the rest of disneyland and I saw her on one of the paths. Um, and then mando and kylo and his stormtroopers walking around. I did not see the clone Luke, because that plain Luke is not Luke. But yeah, there was a lot of characters wandering around.
Speaker 1:You mentioned Sabine. Did you see Sabine no?
Speaker 3:no, no, I think she's gone. She was only around during while Ahsoka was there. Yeah, now they do that because they've had Hera and Chop there too. They haven't been around since the Ahsoka was in there. Yeah, now they do that because they've had Hera and Chop there too. They haven't been around since the Ahsoka show. I don't know how you get rid of Chop, but whatever Dex. Because, he's an asshole.
Speaker 1:He's going to kill you, right? So I texted my friend about the DX droids because one of his other good friends works for a uh special effects company up here. Like they designed and made the lion that katie perry wore, wrote in on during the super bowl. So they do like large scale stuff and we were talking about before galaxy's edge. The three of us were hanging out and he was talking about, I guess like disney had come to them to help them design the stuff to be in the parks, because originally the parks were supposed to have a lot more kind of interactive stuff going on. But they were like nah, like like we want this amount of money and they were like no, we don't, we don't want to pay you that. And they said, oh, we're good, like we have enough other stuff.
Speaker 1:So I texted him because I saw the article about the dx droids walking around. I said did he do those? And he said no, but they're designing the flying, the flying dragon for the new harry potter land in orlando I think it is lando, yeah, and it's supposed to have fire and it's supposed to be like all remote control and like actually flying and shit. And then he like sent me a little clip of it and I was like holy shit, like that's really like that.
Speaker 1:Wow, like I understand drones and all that kind of stuff are all in, but just to see it, like I was like that's like a full scale dragon flying around over Harry Potter. I mean, I'm not even like a Harry Potter guy, but that would be pretty fucking impressive to see in person, like harry potter guy, but that would be pretty fucking impressive to see in person. Like, yeah, it would. So they did not do anything in the park, though, so I was kind of bummed out about that, because I was always, you know, always excited to be like I know somebody who made that shit, but we'll have to go to harry potter world for that, I guess.
Speaker 3:Yep, so so sorry, please continue no, you're good, you're good, um, but other than that it was just a normal day Wandering around, just going on different rides and shit Eating.
Speaker 2:Did you go to DCA at all?
Speaker 3:Yes, we went over there. We did cars, the racing. I think that was the only ride we did over there, just because by the time we got over there and the length of everything Guardians was too long. Fortunately we didn't get to do Soaring Over California because it's only there for the Food and Wine Fest and it's like the OG Soaring ride. So we didn't get to do that. I was a little sad about that. Brock Sampson and everything he still does the intro for Soaring Over the World oh, okay, out of brock sampson and everything he still does the intro for soaring over the world, okay, but it's not the actual movie. Yeah, on the right is different because it's only over california even with the fast pass, it was long dude.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, it was cray, um. So yeah, we're like no, we could do it, but I'm like yeah, because the um, the new Star Wars show started at 8.30. I'm like I do not want to be caught up in anything else. We are here for Star Wars this weekend, so we're not doing shit else, except that we got back over there at 7-ish.
Speaker 2:This is.
Speaker 3:Galaxy's Edge again. We went back to Disneyland. Oh okay, and everybody was hungry. So we're like, fine, let's go eat. Not me, I'm like fuck eating. Let's go to Star Wars, right, I need to go stand in front of the Falcon right now. I was like, no, let's eat.
Speaker 1:As the day goes on, Jack's age slowly. He's an eight-year-old right now. No, he's going to eat your old right now. No, no, I'm not hungry. I don't want to eat. I don't want to eat.
Speaker 2:I want to see a falcon.
Speaker 1:Take me to the falcon, take me to the falcon.
Speaker 3:So we went to Tiana's, which is like good, like Southern food, right, it's actually pretty decent. Despite what some people have said, it's pretty decent food. So I had half of a Cajun chicken, which was delicious and cornbread and coleslaw. It was pretty good. Yeah, so we ate. And then I'm like okay, you guys can finish eating, but I'm leaving. Okay, bye, let's go. So I actually got a pretty decent spot. I sent you guys a picture.
Speaker 2:I thought you paid for a spot.
Speaker 3:No.
Speaker 1:Fuck that I could have swore your text. No, I asked him. That was afterwards.
Speaker 2:I'm talking about earlier in the week. You said what your plan was no no no, I could have swore. You said you included, like you had an 830 reservation or something, and then a 930?
Speaker 3:no, that was no, you know, yeah, no, the the show was then, but yeah, no, no, I'm not paying for it.
Speaker 2:No, that's what I thought. I was like damn, he actually paid for that shit for four people no, you cry shit.
Speaker 3:no, so we got there. We got a pretty decent spot, um, because they projected like it's hard to explain because it's right behind the Falcon, there's like a big flat part of the spire behind the Falcon, yeah.
Speaker 1:Next to the robot. So there's the big robot.
Speaker 3:Well, yeah the robot's on the right, so you come over. It's almost like you know where the stairs are where you come down to the Falcon.
Speaker 1:Yeah, right next to where you pay that pay area where we sat the first time that we saw it right.
Speaker 2:Yeah, go down those stairs on the right yeah, yeah, don't take the ramp to the left, okay yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3:So you're not in front of ogus, but you're like catty corner to yeah off to the side yeah so it was a good spot I could see, uh, the droid. Um, they had a hologram pop up next to him when the show started. It actually looked pretty good like for being outside. Like the ray hologram in rise is cool, right, but like this was outside and the hologram looked pretty legit nice like uh like andor's uh step mama from exactly
Speaker 3:yeah, from andor nice, yeah, he didn't say fuck the empire, though, so that was kind of weird. I thought all holograms said that yeah, that's what my hologram is gonna say um, but the projections, do we watch the um, the incantable projections on small world outside? They did. We don't talk about bruno and no, okay, no so they're super into doing projection stuff now.
Speaker 3:So, over on small world, when encanto came out, they had like a whole we don't talk about bruno thing and and encanto, you know, it's all about the doors opening and closing all this shit. Um. So they did that on small world. It was pretty cool, but this was freaking amazing because it's outside and um. So the dude pops up, he's the guy that founded, um, the black spire outpost. I forget what his name is lord lord, though I thought it was.
Speaker 1:It began with an l, doesn't it it?
Speaker 3:does I forget his name? But? The lord dude he does call himself that, but it's not his government name. So he's talking. He's like I'm going to tell you a story about a boy and redemption and ultimate sacrifice and all this shit, right. So it starts off. They project it's almost like cave paintings, almost it's not like stick figure cave paintings, but just like that kind of art style. It's not're not looking like, oh, that's fucking.
Speaker 3:You know jake lloyd, right, but it's talking about him being a slave and qui-gon coming and um, they do like shadows of like pod racing going across and then, as he becomes more like evil, focus starts to focus on him and then the spire turned to like darth maul's face and um, it went on to like, uh, him falling in love with padme. So they projected on there. Everything started looking like naboo, a little bit, just like their art style for the palaces, and, um, some of their like wedding stuff you know when they're at the end of episode two, when they get married and shit, yeah, yeah they're on that island or the the they're at the getaway or like her family's getaway, or whatever yeah, exactly, uh.
Speaker 3:And then it goes to mustafar, right, and it just turns to like volcano and just like the rocks and the lava spilling like off of there, like if you weren't, if you didn't know it was a projection, like god damn, that is fucking amazing, just the way that the science and the art looks, because they keep it dark enough, but the lava is a different color and just the tumbling of the rocks and the lava coming down. And they didn't use any voice voiceover, which I thought was weird at first, but then I'm like no, he's just telling a story so he wouldn't have um, all that and then.
Speaker 3:So then they go to luke, um, it actually had a painting of obi-wan holding the babies, and the babies like disappeared as he gave them to owen and bail, right.
Speaker 3:So then, like there were pictures of owen and bail on the site and they had the babies now.
Speaker 3:And then, um, so is luke getting found by obi-wan and like, going on, and then they did hoss, which again they turned it all blue and icy, right. So like the ice is falling down and um, over on the left, uh, they projected like there's a, it's like a turret, but like a castle kind of turret, right, that's just there all the time, but they projected a laser on it so they have the shadow of an adept coming at them the whole time and this thing's like shooting at it. It falls and blows up, and then, um, pictures of vader and luke fighting, and then goes to uh, indoor so they change out all the trees and again, like there's like they, they project to the inside of the tree like it looks like it has depth, right, um, and then that, and then they don't go into the sequels, they just, you know, it's a quiet time and then another hero had to rise and it's just like a shadow of ray because obviously we, where we're at, in galaxy's edge yeah, ray is just she knows she hasn't done her thing yet.
Speaker 3:So it's just like a shadow of ray and there was one part I forget, like when it was, but like everything, like crumbled and like getting sucked into a vortex, and it was so freaking cool. I would say just watch it on youtube. I can't guarantee that you guys are going to get a chance to go down there before may 11th I was gonna ask.
Speaker 2:I wasn't sure it would be on youtube because I figured, yeah, there's people that everybody's been recording it, so it is available okay, um, but no, it's.
Speaker 3:I was going to ask. I wasn't sure it would be on YouTube because I figured Disney would pull it. Everybody's been recording it, so it is available. But no, it's 10 minutes. It was totally worth the watch. I almost would have gone back for the 10-15 show. If we weren't at Oga's, I would have gone and watched it again.
Speaker 1:But neither of them had fireworks. This was its own individual no no, no.
Speaker 3:So this was at what 8.30?
Speaker 2:8.30 to 8.40. So that was a whole other.
Speaker 3:They still have the fire over Batuu with the music and everything. We were over there waiting for our Oga's reservation at that point.
Speaker 2:So hell, people just stay put.
Speaker 3:A lot of them did.
Speaker 2:Wait 20 minutes. You know what?
Speaker 1:To be honest with you, if you get both of those experiences, I kind of almost feel like maybe paying for it would be worth it. I'd have to think about it. It would be something I would have to think about. Right, if it's just one or the other, but if you get to stay there for like an hour and just watch the whole, like you get like an hour of entertainment out of it, you know, I mean yeah, depending on the schedule, it might not be that bad, and you do get like goodies out of it yeah, I think you get like one of the sippers or something well, and they have like snacks and stuff, right like you get like little little little munchables or whatnot.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so if it's even a thing anymore I don't even know, I think so. I think I just saw something about it. One of the disney blogs popped up in my google news feed.
Speaker 3:They were talking about it because they were talking about all the season of the force stuff um, I mean, it doesn't necessarily say that it's a limited thing, it just says debuting march 28th. So I don't know, they should fucking keep it forever as far as I'm concerned.
Speaker 1:I mean well, and here's the thing With that seating arrangement stuff. Now, if they're doing two shows a night, that's twice as much money, because they move you out after the first show's done and then just you reset and then they move in the second group.
Speaker 2:Yeah Well, no, because you'd have to still have the fireworks. The first group would have to be the show and fireworks.
Speaker 1:But then they would move you out, because then you have For the second show for sure. Yeah.
Speaker 2:There's an hour between the next one, so they get everybody out in 15 minutes and reset. But they'd have to charge more for the first one because you're getting two shows.
Speaker 1:We will have to look into it If we get the opportunity to see it.
Speaker 2:I will sit. I'll be down in the front watching y'all but no, it was super cool.
Speaker 3:And then, like at the end, like he projected himself up there and, um, he's like, if you have a, a light, a saber, raise it up and shout skywalkers. So everybody that had lightsabers would turn them on. Everybody's yelling Skywalker. It was cool as hell. I super dug it and you don't get it, oh darn. Darn sucks for you with your humidity. So then, yeah, after that we went to O, Tried some of the new snacks there.
Speaker 1:Was there stuff specific for Season of the Force or was there just new, new debuted stuff?
Speaker 3:They just rotated out some old stuff and put in some new stuff, some guac and salsa chip thing. I think we had the pretzel bread before with the cheese dipping sauce.
Speaker 1:We always get that. We've had that both times that I've gone yeah.
Speaker 3:And then there's this stuff called Oga's Obsession. It's like Jell-O with like Boba in it and Pop Rocks. It was a different flavor. It was a different Jell-O this time.
Speaker 1:Like strawberry Jell-O. She loves that one right. She loves Oga's Obsession, If I remember correctly.
Speaker 3:And every time I'm like you know, it's not a drink, it's food. I'm like, yeah, we got it, bro Dude. They ask that every freaking time People be ordering and they're like what the fuck is this Petri dish you're giving me?
Speaker 2:Well, if you would read the description, you would know that's on them for not reading that shit.
Speaker 3:No sympathy. I did have to drink three of those. Methasaurus had to had to. Totally worth it. It was good.
Speaker 2:It's an apple cider, it was like a wheat ale or something. I had apple cider in it Apple cider wheat, ale with something else.
Speaker 3:Cherry syrup or some shit, I don't know it sounded good Right. Yeah, white Wampa is a Hefeweizen style wheat beer, 4.5 alcohol by volume. I remember that part. It's description reads as classic Hefeweizen with a banana and citrus character. So then they added the apple cider and cherry puree to it.
Speaker 2:Fruity ass beer.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it was.
Speaker 2:Also called delicious.
Speaker 3:Exactly. I don't give a fuck if there's an umbrella. If it gets me drunk, I'm on it.
Speaker 2:Gets me drunk and tastes good while you're doing it.
Speaker 3:Sold. And then yeah, after that we bounced dude. That early Bro, we didn't get into august till like 10.
Speaker 2:I thought you had a 9, 30 reservation nine, oh yeah, it was 9 30.
Speaker 3:But yeah, let me see what did I put on my calendar. 50. So I mean, stay there 45 minutes. But little one was like I'm so tired. I'm like sure you don't want to go to pirates. I got a reservation. She's like no, just cancel it, I'm done.
Speaker 1:That's rare. Yeah, what the hell.
Speaker 3:But the girls won't sleep in the car. They haven't slept in the car since they were little, unless they are like dead freaking tired. They don't sleep in the car. I mean, I'm passed out as soon as we hit the freeway, but no, they don't sleep in the car. So we went back to the room, passed out. I'm like I'm unpacking toothbrushes and I'm going to bed, you guys are on your own. And then we had to go back today because um previously mentioned the coaxium sipper. As I was looking at it online later, I'm like these motherfuckers got straws. I didn't get no straw straw. I thought it was just like you had to suck, almost like one of those applesauce pouches or some shit, like it's sealed, but you have to almost like a bottle or something. I'm like none of these glutes have got straws. So I'm like, okay, cool, I'm going to go back over there get my straw. And then we've made up. We did pirates.
Speaker 2:Any questions? Any questions Like hey, I didn't get my straw today, I didn't even show my receipt.
Speaker 3:I said, look, I got a Quack Sim zipper yesterday. They didn't give me a straw. She's like okay, cool, but I still have my receipt and everything. I brought the zipper back with me just in case. But I guess I wasn't asking for like a new zipper or something, so they're.
Speaker 1:My zipper didn't have the bottle in it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, no, a dude gave it to me. He almost put his eye out with it Because it's spring-loaded, which sounds kind of dangerous. It does. I was like what.
Speaker 1:Well, we'll see it soon enough.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so on the way out we went and got these. They have a build-your-own-headband thing now, so Star Wars was not part of the initial thing, they just put them out this week. But you buy a headband and then you buy these little dudes and you can undo the strap and put it on your headband, so you can make your own headbands, your own personalized ears. Got Stormtrooper R2. Lou's going to have to buy this one next time he goes. Aw, aw, damn it.
Speaker 2:Yes, he is.
Speaker 3:My big one actually asked. She's like are you going to get Vader for your boyfriend? I'm like aw, maybe no. I can't 100% guarantee, he wants it.
Speaker 2:He'll be there in December. He'll get his along with an Ewok, because somebody else is going to want a damn Ewok and the droid.
Speaker 3:R2 is going to be the other one. Who knows what else comes out before then too.
Speaker 2:Uh-huh, how much are they? That's it, yeah.
Speaker 1:He's like I'm on a budget. How much are they what?
Speaker 2:I'll get two Vader's, so I can make my own Mickey Mouse ears.
Speaker 3:There you go. Maybe they'll have them all or some shit by then.
Speaker 2:That's true, or the Emperor. Yeah, I'll have all three. Yep, oh speaking of that rest in power.
Speaker 1:Clive Reveal Rebel, yep, rebel Rebel.
Speaker 2:Rebel. Yeah, there's two, l's right.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Remember.
Speaker 3:I went to go see him at the first Anaheim Con and I'm like oh cool, I can meet the old school emperor, right. So the only pass I had was the one from Celebration 6, like the weird Mardi Gras one. He's like well, that's not me. And I was like motherfucker, you aren't even in the movie anymore. Just sign the fuck what I tell you to Right. Shit, you're a voice actor.
Speaker 2:Like bro, you got pulled.
Speaker 1:Wow, Jack, just fucking flipped on his entitled Star Wars. I paid $189 for this. You're going to fucking sign what I tell you to sign.
Speaker 2:I'm an original dude Right. That's a whole other argument.
Speaker 3:I'll get to that later and then also at Doc Ondar's. They had these cards. They say season of the force on them. So there's four of them. Oh shit, that's my boy. I saw a Chewie on the back. You have your Arbesh translator. Oh, that's cool. You have to give me a Chewie On the back. You have your Arbesh translator.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's cool.
Speaker 1:You have to give me a Chewie one if I don't make it down there.
Speaker 3:They're stingy as fuck about them. These are free. I'm like, so can I have more? They're like you can have one.
Speaker 2:They're free. One of each.
Speaker 3:No, they come in a pack of four.
Speaker 2:Oh Well, there's four y'all. There were only two of us. I want one of each. I want one of each. No, they come in a pack of four, oh Well there's four of y'all.
Speaker 3:There were only two of us Because it was this morning and I was just ready to get my coaxium truck.
Speaker 2:That's right, that's right. This was today's stuff.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so I didn't know that they were giving them out. Otherwise, yes, we would have gone and got all of them.
Speaker 2:We'll be going back in a month and a half. It's all good.
Speaker 3:Alright, so show and tell. Here's the coaxium zipper Back up Back it up Right there. So it has a safety latch on it Because you push the button.
Speaker 2:Ah, take your eye out.
Speaker 3:Exactly, it says caution, handle with care coaxium.
Speaker 1:So why is the caution coaxium crossed out? Who knows?
Speaker 2:Why is it in our bash? It lights up.
Speaker 3:Whoa.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's cool. They put the bubbles in the plastic, so you don't.
Speaker 3:No, this is from me rinsing it out. It's not dried yet. In case I had to give it back to him, I didn't dry it out yet. So, yes, that would have been cool, but yeah, so it's just spring-loaded in there, but, as you can see, it's not very. This looks big.
Speaker 2:You got like 14 ounces. It's big on the inside.
Speaker 1:That's what she said. That is retarded. So then straw, I mean it's kind of cool, but like it's cooler as a prop, it's not as a prop, it's not very functional.
Speaker 2:It's not practical. Yeah, not practical at all.
Speaker 1:No, not at all. How many steps does it take for you to fill your water bottle? Two, it takes me seven.
Speaker 3:And then, while we were killing time, we were in the Droid Depot screwing off and I saw this. I was. I was like, oh, that's cute, it's a little r2 ornament right, pops open and he's a popcorn bucket and it lights up.
Speaker 2:I was like, how did I not see this at christmas time? Yeah, no shit right.
Speaker 1:So I had to get that because adorable, and that's like I mean they have an RTU popcorn bucket, right, they had one.
Speaker 3:I'm sure there's one somewhere. I did not have it.
Speaker 1:This was pre-Jack being a fiend for popcorn buckets.
Speaker 3:Right, he said, with the Deadpool popcorn bucket over his shoulder, uh-huh. And then also lightsaber swizzle sticks. They better light up. Oh, they do. I just didn't open them yet. Wouldn't you need to stir your drink? Yep, you need a stir drink and a blue one for Luke, or I guess also.
Speaker 1:Anakin. I would say Anakin, right? I mean, I guess that's OG Luke Saber too.
Speaker 2:Yeah, same thing, anakin, slash Luke.
Speaker 1:You know there's somebody that's going to be like. Well, if you look at the scarring on the Right, this wasn't there until they're fighting Mustafar.
Speaker 3:So now it's Luke's lightsaber. What else? I guess the Death Star bucket. So this was the whole reason to go, yeah.
Speaker 2:Oh, decent size too.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it is. Look at the size of that thing. Turns on all the city lights.
Speaker 2:Dude, that is cool.
Speaker 3:Second push there's sound effects, ha ha ha, and then it just sits there. That looks awesome.
Speaker 1:I thought the lasers came out of the bucket, like came out to a point, but that looks cool. I just thought it was a 3D thing.
Speaker 3:But yeah, so that was super cool. Nice, I was like you know what that was worth going down there for. And then Drum roll oh wait, drum roll, I got you. I got you. Hold on, oh wait, I don't got you. Yeah, there it is. And then the Mythosaur mug.
Speaker 1:Swap it out. It's a cardboard box Boom.
Speaker 3:Well, it was for the poor Mandalorians before Din brought them all the.
Speaker 2:Sorry, I just saw your text. That Stormtrooper's badass.
Speaker 3:I like it way better than the blue china one they had years ago.
Speaker 2:Good god, that thing is sick.
Speaker 3:That one is way better.
Speaker 2:Cherry blossoms on it, yeah.
Speaker 3:That's a big-ass mug dude. Right and you were talking shit like oh you getting drunk off a beer.
Speaker 2:It's a big ass mug dude, that is she, okay, all right nice, but, yes, fucking awesome that is obvious you guys wanted it, so I do have them.
Speaker 3:I put it in here as we talk about almost every week lose pile lose pile.
Speaker 2:Yep to go looking out. Love your butt that awesome.
Speaker 1:They each have a sticky note with how much we owe Jack. From it $55 on the tax.
Speaker 2:We already know. Actually, it was Moe's hack when they bagged them up.
Speaker 3:They put them in their Disneyland bags. They actually gave us a set of the coasters too. Each one has a set of the coasters. If you don't already have it, you do now.
Speaker 2:I only had the one, used one and I never got the clean one.
Speaker 1:I think I only got four of them. I don't know if I got the whole set with the last one that I bought.
Speaker 3:Was there six Something? Let's see, it's one for each of the drinks. So Gamorrean Ale the Pilot, pilot one Lou's favorite Bloody Rancor.

Speaker 3:Oga's logo, oga's Cantina. That was my spending preview for fucking Celebr uh-huh, but yeah, I saw that you're spending appetizer before the main event I saw that somebody just posted that hot toys before I texted it to you guys and I'm like I should hate it, but I don't know. It's a kimono jacket it's.
Speaker 1:It's catchy enough that it's cool and that's actually exclusive.
Speaker 3:So the figure's not exclusive, but the kimono is.
Speaker 1:But you have to buy the figure to get the kimono.
Speaker 2:Yes, I would imagine. Yeah.
Speaker 1:And how much is the figure?
Speaker 2:Like $200 something, I think. Dude, I already got no joke just now. One of the dudes out here in Colorado just hit me up a messenger. Can you grab that for me? He's a cool dude, he's a cool dude. So if he wants to give me the money in advance or you know, he can just Venom me while I'm there and get the actual price. I don't think I've seen a price for it. But you know, the whole travel thing is like OK, you also got to pay extra for the frickin mule fee, because that's going to take up space in my luggage and if I end up having to ship a box back you're paying your part.
Speaker 2:But I'll let you know I may end up with two of them bad boys anyway, because that thing I like it, let's see so.

Speaker 3:You know, I got the Luke from Mando too, because he came with a cut-in-half Death Trooper. Death Trooper, yeah.
Speaker 2:Am.
Speaker 1:I open to them. Yeah, yeah, I have a feeling now that again, I'm not going Death.
Speaker 3:Trooper yeah.
Speaker 2:Oh my god, I have a feeling now that again I'm not going to be lying to go get it, but when I'm there, if it's there, I will get it.
Speaker 3:If I wander by the booth eventually and it's there I probably will I do kind of dig in.
Speaker 2:Didn't they have? They weren't one of the ones with the pin Not?
Speaker 3:so far yeah.
Speaker 2:Well, all the incentives have got to be done by now, because all ten of them are out. The only thing we don't know yet are the if there's incentives and then what the four blind ones are yeah, and I'm saying four because that's what the last two celebrations were. Yeah, or two plus whatever.
Speaker 3:Something.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but yeah, I think that thing's pretty sick. So damn, our bucket met the sword. Those two freaking badass.
Speaker 3:I don't remember what was on your may 4th visit in six weeks those that's the jawa sipper and the 501st stormtrooper helmet, and then in between then the Tauntaun Popcorn Bucket comes out. But yeah, so the next time I go to Disneyland it'll be Tokyo.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and they don't have any fancy shit like that.
Speaker 3:Not.
Speaker 2:Star Wars anyway.
Speaker 3:Mm-mm, yeah, Everything I read. Star Wars is not as popular in Japan as it is here. Which is weird because I thought they liked Star Wars out there. Hopefully that'll bode well for us while we're there.
Speaker 1:That reminds me.
Speaker 2:What was that? I can't remember what it was. Earlier this week we were all looking at, I guess, some exclusives maybe, and somebody had the anime posters or something like that.
Speaker 1:That was the four pack of the pins. Yeah it was on the retailer exclusive list.
Speaker 2:yeah, Okay, it was a retailer, not the Celebration Store.
Speaker 3:Correct.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they haven't put out Celebration Store stuff, yet those pins look pretty badass, those anime pins look pretty badass.
Speaker 1:I might get the paddle, the chewy paddle. I thought that looked pretty cool.
Speaker 2:I don't remember seeing that.
Speaker 1:It was the last things on the page. It's like a Japanese game, kind of similar to Badminton, but a company has three limited edition paddles for celebration. It was a Chewbacca, a Ray and a C-3PO and R2. Oh yeah, is that what they are? Yeah, yeah, I looked it up because I didn't know. I didn't know what Hagoita is. Yeah, and it's a game, I guess, similar to Batman, but I guess.
Speaker 2:Did I miss something and I don't know. Maybe you would think it'd be a local favorite not going to be there. Coda Bacaya you know what. Hang on, I'm on the page, I'm trying to figure out how Coto is not going to be there Right, the home of the new lightsaber chopsticks is not going to be there. That doesn't make any sense to me.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the only K that's there is K-Uno On the list of exhibitors. There's no Cotabacaya.
Speaker 2:No Cotabacaya Wow.
Speaker 1:I was actually tempted.
Speaker 2:I still might bring my lightsaber chopsticks to eat to use while I'm in Japan, at least Friday, saturday and Sunday unless somebody else is now doing their marketing or whatever yeah, they can be, like the way Funko Bandai is, although they still haven't announced an exclusive Bandai or Funko for a Funko Pop anyway, right. Oh wait, I have to go to Hot Toys anyway. Those little $10 mini things.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah exactly yeah.
Speaker 3:So Hot Toys was on the list.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:It just wasn't a $200 doll.
Speaker 2:No, that was not on the list.
Speaker 1:It is now Two of them as long as the limit's not one.
Speaker 2:If the limit's one, I'll have to have one of y'all. Get one for me if you're not getting one for yourself.
Speaker 3:Happy to help. I mean, we have two kids, a wife. We have options for all this.
Speaker 2:And Deuce got two other buddies going, so there's eight of us, three no, there'll. There'll be four of us, three other buddies going, so there's nine of us.
Speaker 1:Well, technically four, because one guy's going by himself, but he's meeting us there, so we have lots of options Plenty of options.
Speaker 3:Long again, long is not a crazy line. Not that we're putting this out there for everybody to have us buy them shit, though, I'm just saying.
Speaker 2:Oh, dude, for real. For real, I didn't tell anybody shit. Anybody, should he hit me up because I've been dealing with him for Funko since 21.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you already have a relationship.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, when the NFTs my Little Ponies first came out and I wasn't doing NFTs he got me a really good price on like four of them. It was almost half of what they were going for and I was like, damn, dude. He's like, yeah, you always hook me up, so I figured I'd get you a good price. I'm like, damn, thanks bro, all right. So uh met him down in colorado springs and picked him up and we've been hanging out and chatting about like new stuff, like when, remember when uh the the vader from uh funko hollywood came out the one I picked up when we were down there yeah, uh, last year, uh he had an opportunity to grab one for me I was like oh no, my aunt lives down there.
Speaker 2:I'll ask her eventually. And then she moved to vegas and they get one, but it was there and we were there, so it worked out.
Speaker 2:Yeah, exactly. Well, yeah, but he always, he's usually always looking out and it's like, hey, you have this, like even when the uh, uh, the target con and all that stuff he was, he won, he made sure I got my vaders and and then, yeah, like it was literally after I saw your text, I looked down and he had a message and he was the same one and it was like I think, matter of fact, I think his quote was doubt it, but think you can grab this Hot Toys exclusive.
Speaker 2:I told him look, if they don't sell out by the time I get the Hot Toys ready, I'll get it for you. And we already talked about the store stuff, right sort of the pins are better, I mean, but the rest of it hasn't come out yet, so we don't know what the store is going to have. Okay, yeah, but every time I go to the store like the last couple celebrations in 22 and 15, I spent like 500 bucks, you know, I got my biggest.
Speaker 1:The biggest problem is if I get sidetracked and something and you guys are talking about like if a bunch of news hits in one day, I I get my wires crossed on what's disney and what celebration, so I'll be glad when celebration's done. So then I'm not like, wait, are these exclusives? Or I see like a, I see like a promo or something, a news thing in my feed and I'm like, oh, it's this. And then I go and look in the chat and you're like five days ago.
Speaker 2:And there's three because is it Celebration, exclusive, Celebration, store or Disney? So there's three options that it could be right now.
Speaker 1:Well, and I mean all these vendor exclusives, for the most part seem to have been announced right, because there's not that many vendors, there's not that many exhibitors.
Speaker 2:Well, you know what? I don't know, because, like, let's say, for the celebration, for the pins, if you're doing the pins, there are, I think, was it 10?
Speaker 2:vendor pins or 8, something like that 8 or 10 vendor pins and to get the vendor pins you usually have to buy something from their booth up to $50. Or they can sell it just for $10 or $15. But we don't know necessarily all of those vendors and what they have, or what do you have to do to get their thing. The only way we know for sure is stamps is going to make you spend $50 on a box of socks.
Speaker 3:Yep, yeah.
Speaker 2:What do you?
Speaker 1:guys think of just the Star Wars Revenge of the Sith mystery box pins. Oh, I didn't like those.
Speaker 2:I didn't like the way the art on it looked terrible.
Speaker 3:Yeah, those look like kind of the Amazon ones that they were looking at when they came out.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's exactly it. When I saw that, I was like, eh no, I'll pass. Not opposed to blind box, but I want the pins to look good too.
Speaker 1:It looks Not opposed to blind box but I want the pins to look good too. I didn't think they'd look good. Well, and it looks like one of them is doing a. One of them has a Revenge of the Sith and then the other one's just a generic like overall just has it's just pins. But I mean it's two troopers. Who is that? Padme, I'm guessing Anakin and the droids. And Is that Grievous? I think that's. So that seems like a weird mishmash as well.
Speaker 2:but All Revenge of the Sith, though right.
Speaker 1:No, padme's episode one. Padme Queen, queen Amidala.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's right.
Speaker 1:And the two troopers that looks like Rex, and who's the yellow one? I guess Cody, right Cody. And then R2 and 3PO. I can't tell, but 3PO is all gold. And then Grievous was episode 2, right and 3. No, just 3. Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 2:He wasn't in 2. No, it was just 3. I'm thinking that cartoon.
Speaker 1:Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 2:The cartoon that everybody's been talking about lately, for some reason. Yeah, it's weird. 27 years later, they want to start talking about that shit.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I can't tell you how many articles where they were like oh, if you want prequels, the best prequels came out 20 years ago.
Speaker 2:The Samurai Jack artist, and all this.
Speaker 1:It's a new discovery or something. You're like motherfucker, we've been here the whole time waiting.
Speaker 2:I'm looking over here at my bookcase and I got and I got both of them cds sitting over here or dvds over here on my rack. So what the hell man?
Speaker 1:well and and we have the uh, clone wars. Was that when all of us were together the that clone wars Because they did the presentation? We went to a Clone Wars presentation and they had a ton of the voice actors and we went up to the front and they had like, the giveaway was like an art book, but it was like a paper art book and we went up because I still have it in my autograph pile. We got like a shit ton of autographs on it because all of them were just signing as people came up and I'll go dig it out.
Speaker 1:That'll be one day we'll have to do autograph show offs Shit. I'm all messages in storage. Show us pictures Lou.
Speaker 2:Imagine if you will.
Speaker 1:Yeah, imagine this.
Speaker 2:A picture of uh, so new topic. You guys watched daredevils, both episodes yes uh, I thought they were okay. Uh, I think the second episode was better than the first episode. First episode kind of felt a little bit like filler to me. It wasn't because there was still some relevant stuff, but it was 80% filler. But I enjoyed how it played out. I was like usually I'm not a big filler fan. I was okay with this one.
Speaker 1:Well, because it had Ms Marvel's dad in it. Fuck it.
Speaker 2:Dude, they're talking about throwing shit in your face. Okay, yeah, we know, we know. Oh, now you're going to throw some Funko Pop. Okay, yeah, we know.
Speaker 1:This is Kamala. Look how close.
Speaker 2:My daughter Kamala.
Speaker 1:I can't. Oh, that's right. I love her dad, though Her dad's awesome he is, because he's like a good person but he's like, ooh, there's this situation for money.
Speaker 2:Second episode way better, yes, and the overlapping of Kingpin becoming Kingpin again, Daredevil becoming Daredevil again. So you saw it building up, it finally happened.
Speaker 1:I was like all right, that was good, but again, how did it all get instigated? Stupid people doing stupid shit Always, I just Like are you going to do anything? No, okay, oh, what's down here? Oh, there's pipe, oh and now I'm unconscious and being Come on Sucking my blood out. Fuck. Sorry, I just was like come on. Sucking my blood out. Fuck, sorry, I just was like, come on, it's such an easy, like yeah, it's just, it's not.
Speaker 1:I don't know that bugged me but you know again, I'm glad Daredevil's back being Daredevil and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2:But I would have felt better if he happened to have the amulet on him and needed that to revive her, since we all know she can come back to White Tiger.
Speaker 1:Or if she had it on, maybe she was trying it and there was a quick fight, because she doesn't know how to fight. Her uncle knew how to fight, she doesn't know. So she thinks, oh, I'll have the amulet and then I'll be badass, maybe she blocks a couple of his things, but then I'll be badass and maybe she gets. Maybe she blocks a couple of his things, but then he's like and then she's that at least. Okay, cool, I could buy that, but you go away from.
Speaker 3:I mean, this could lead to it. She's like oh, I got punked the fuck out and almost died, so now maybe I should put the amulet on, because I'm not gonna stop fighting bad guys yep, so there's potential there, for sure, but again, it was a bunch of bullshit.
Speaker 2:One minute, uh, she's down there and you hear noises and then she's captured. We'll even get to see that it's like oh, yeah that it actually took me out.
Speaker 3:I'm like wait, what happened exactly?
Speaker 1:then, all of a sudden, you see her unconscious and you're like wait, I over his shoulder and it's like I guess means to an end right.
Speaker 3:It's like like I Daredevil's been out of the game for a year. How's? He going to get his ass kicked by graffiti artist.
Speaker 2:I, I, you know what. I thought the same thing and I didn't think it was based off of him being out for a year. I think it's based off of whatever Muse powers Granted. They're not really showing his powers necessarily right now, with the whole being able to block Daredevil's senses and all that shit. We're not getting there yet and they may not. We don't know what they're going to do, but I'm hoping they're going to explain why he can fight, because I was like he should have got his ass whooped Right. Bro's a graffiti artist.
Speaker 3:Daredevil's a trained ninja. This guy's a graffiti artist.
Speaker 2:Skill level is Thank you, you take that mask off. He got a man bun, let's be real.
Speaker 1:That's why he has the stocking hat on to cover it.
Speaker 2:Exactly what?
Speaker 3:the hell Banksy, looking motherfucker.
Speaker 2:So hopefully, hopefully they do get an explanation of why he can keep up and not just oh, because if they do a one-liner in the next episode, oh, you know, I'm out of practice. Okay, fine, that answers it too, but I'm hoping it's because Muse has some kind of skill.
Speaker 1:I think that's a combination of both. I'm guessing he's still re. He's not 100 in the game yet I think daredevil, while he's most of the way there, I think he's still so. I think that's what you're. He hasn't been in the game for a while. Right like, right like. I think he's like okay, I'm gonna put the mask on, I'm gonna, I'm gonna give this a go and see. I gotta go save this person. I'm the only one that can. But I still think he has that battle. He's still battling with himself a little bit.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the other thing, kind of going back to that first episode. It was out of place, it wasn't, but it was At the end of the previous episode. He's on the roof practicing and getting himself back in Daredevil and then he's going for a bank loan, Like really, and we're not going to advance this part of the story of his.
Speaker 1:I'm guessing what we're seeing right now is now the merging of the two seasons, right Like we're getting to the point that they're going to be phasing out whatever they had built originally and are now. But they still have all that stuff that they want to try to use as much as they can, so you end up with like a filler episode that probably was way more intricate to the story before but it's a good episode on its own, so you don't want to lose that right.
Speaker 1:Like you have good character building with Luca and all of them.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it made sense because they still owed $1.8 million and that diamond would have paid for it. So that diamond would have paid the 1.8 which is now like he's at 2.8. But that type of thing was like, okay, I get where they're going with this. And it was super cool that when daredevil world and matt was in the bank, uh and the girl, her heartbeat wasn't all fast. It was like, oh, so that's how he knew she was. Yeah, and dude, he was like, okay, that's cool, he knew she was involved.
Speaker 2:I was like, okay, that's cool.
Speaker 1:He kicked the shit out of Luca at the end of that episode, though, god damn.
Speaker 2:Dude, that leg Dude yeah.
Speaker 1:The arm and the leg. I was like oh, damn, like Jesus, okay, oh, man, that was terrible.
Speaker 2:I was like I kind of leaned back in my seat when I saw it I was like, oh, I turned away. Oh, that was so bad. That was very, very well shot. The choreography is getting better. That first episode I thought sucked, that fight in episode five. And then the one with Muse in episode six. I'm like, okay, the fighting. It's looking way better than it did that first episode. Granted that first episode was reshoot so I'm like, okay, the fighting it's looking way better than it did that first episode.
Speaker 1:Granted, that first episode was reshoot, so I get it. But damn Well, and and again they're, they're, they're close to the fighting, but they're letting the fighting, they're letting the fight dictate the cuts, as opposed to the cuts dictating the fight, which I really appreciate. So you could tell that the fights, instead of just being cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, it's longer shots where you're seeing them.
Speaker 3:They need to go back to Netflix with the hallway fights.
Speaker 2:Those were the best.
Speaker 3:Yeah, no cuts.
Speaker 1:Yeah Well this one. I mean, the cuts made sense, right, Because? They're moving around the room and you were never lost on where they were in the room and where each of them was in relation to her and the room itself.
Speaker 1:Right Like cause it. Really he was just trying to fight him to get to the girl. Like I don't right. You know, he I don't like and I like that was like daredevil's thing was like he was. He fights to get to the goal. He's not fighting to fight, right like right. He's fighting because he has a somewhere he's trying to be and you're in his way, so he's going to kick the shit out of you as much as he needs as he needs to yeah, he's not necessarily going to inflict more punishment than it takes for you to stay out of his way so yeah, there's another guy that does that.
Speaker 3:I forget what his name is. Some punishment, something, yeah, that's another character.
Speaker 1:I think he has a unicorn on his I like that.
Speaker 3:they brought Jack back, kate Bishop's stepdad.
Speaker 2:I thought it was a little minordad.
Speaker 3:I thought it was very minor.
Speaker 2:I thought it was a little bit weak. Now him as the socialite I like that part, the swordsman right. The stupid little camera video that those little clips are starting to become annoying now.
Speaker 1:The BB, the BB report.
Speaker 2:I'm like, okay, we're everything a cup to one. Now I'm just like, can we?
Speaker 1:okay, move on to the next scene. Already, is it my speaker setup? I can never fucking hear those. Like when they cut to it, my volume on those goes to like half, so I'm like I I put I mean, I typically put the subtitles on anyways to just make sure that I'm hearing what they're saying, because there's been times when, like if they're mumbling or if it's, you know, but during her reports, like my volume is like this, where we're having a normal conversation and I'm just like what are you? Talking about. So okay.
Speaker 2:It must be my speaker set up then.
Speaker 1:So but yeah.
Speaker 2:I just think the point of them has been lost. It's like it used to be a grounded. Let's see how people in the city think what's going now. It's just like okay, whatever, move on to the just okay great, can we get out of this?
Speaker 1:well they're. They're using it to like transition from one scene to another.
Speaker 2:Generally is how I always took it well, early on they had value, like the whole fisk and what people thought of him. Now they're saying the same shit and it's like okay, I'm over it. Every time it switches to one, I'm like all right, can we just get to the next?
Speaker 1:one. Well, and it doesn't seem to be. And I think it would be different if it was about current what was going on, right, like, hey, let's talk about the vigilante who got killed, right? Right, that would matter too. Right?
Speaker 2:Yeah, this is very, it's very, generic, like you could really plug these interviews in anywhere, and they're not changing the flow of the story at all and it goes back and also it goes back to the whole again. Like I was saying last week, no B story. So these clips could be helping. Whatever B story exists, except one doesn't exist. So it's like all right.
Speaker 1:It's funny, one of the youtube channels I watch, actually like I watched after last monday. I was watching it and they were like, oh, is daredevil working? Like, are we enjoying daredevil? And they were doing like a panel discussion and one of them mentioned the no b stories and I was like, damn lou, you ahead of the game, son, how are? You being a tv critic motherfucker, what?
Speaker 2:if only. But yeah, but that's fine. Again, I'm okay with it because I know I my belief is it's on purpose. They don't want to distract you from the main story, which is daredevil and fisk. They want to get those going and then they can worry about these stories in seasons two and three, since both have been greenlit. I'm like, okay, if that is their plan, I get it the same way. Episode seven right? People, everything comes back to Star Wars. Everybody was like, oh my God, episode seven was just a rehash of four. I'm like, no, it was a rehash of four, five and six. Get it right. It was a rehash of all of them. Because they needed to bring the fans back who tuned out after the prequels and were hating the prequels, who I all like now all of a sudden. But they needed to do that to bring everybody back in. It's like, okay, now you did this movie got everybody back in.
Speaker 2:It was a repeat. Now we can go and do some new shit in 8 and 9, and then they fucked up 8 and 9, but whatever.
Speaker 1:The problem was they didn't know what their new shit was going to be. Well, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:We talked about that. I agree with you 100%. They did not. But I get the point. The point was Seven was to bring all the fans back and it worked. And then, with Daredevil, they're using Season 1 to just get the fans back. We're going to focus on Fisk. We're going to focus on Daredevil. Muse will be a thing. We'll have the Punisher show up Little things are happening, but that's not the point. The point is Daredevil and Fisk Bullseye still around.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, bullseye in the first episode, all these things. So it's like, alright cool, let's set the stage and then let's break down Fisk and Matt and then let's build up. Fisk and Matt a fizz in that and then, whatever how it's going to end, the next three episodes and then we'll get into the actual storytelling and multiple stories going on and it'll all culminate probably in some climactic shit in the end of season two that'll pick up in season three and finish the story.
Speaker 1:But going back to what we've talked about before with, I think, acolyte, there was another show that we talked about where it was one episode, and maybe Skeleton Crew, I think Daredevil. The people who are releasing whoever's deciding how the release window is, realized that that one episode is a one-off and so they released two episodes. So then we still got story, so they kind of fixed you know how I don't remember which was that.
Speaker 2:Let's say sort of because they haven't, because they haven't done that with any of the others outside of the first. Well, they've done it before. Like all their series, they they do two drops at a time, like you pick any Disney. I think they did it. It's just a crazy coincidence because Andor comes out in the 22nd. They didn't want an overlap, that's all.
Speaker 1:But I'm sure in my head. But I mean, last week was one episode, the week before was one episode, right, I know, I know, but they had to have.
Speaker 2:Well, no, I think I think you're onto something. Here's my thing, because Ando comes out in 2017.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:I think you're right that they picked these two, because that first one was a filler episode.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but I think in my head that's a positive sign, Because the older Disney Plus shows would have made us sit with that one episode and I think we would have been way more negative about that one episode being by itself, with a week to go between. Right, because you could have picked any week. You could have picked any week to have your two episodes right. You could have a two episode season finale if you wanted. But they, but they randomly picked these two episodes in the middle of the season to have a two episode drop. I feel like they're. There's somebody in disney listening to our podcast and went we need to make sure that we make these three white guys happy. So we know at least one of them is going to be furious if we only release this bank episode by himself. So let's do two so we can move the story forward. But I think it was. I think it was. I think it was?
Speaker 2:I think it was.
Speaker 1:Acolyte, where it was like the, when they introduced the Master and they had like the one episode that ended with Wow, I can't believe, I don't remember her name the twins, where the twins did.
Speaker 2:Oh sure.
Speaker 1:Yeah. And then like the episode ends and May, oh sure, yeah. And then. And then like the episode ends and we're like the fuck. But then the following week it all like made sense, where if they would have put those two episodes together you would have been like, oh OK, I get it. But where they cut it you were just like what the fuck Like did? Did they just run out of film? Why did we end there? Because it was a very weird thing. So hopefully this is a sign of better things to come and the fact that we're getting have you guys seen the Season 2 set photos with him wearing his black outfit, season 2.
Speaker 3:Daredevil, season 2. Yeah, so there's pictures of him wearing his black outfit, season 2. Daredevil, season 2. Oh, no, mm-mm. Yeah, so there's pictures of him wearing his black outfit with the red DD on the chest. It's pretty badass, yeah.
Speaker 1:Spoilers and red eyes.
Speaker 2:Yep, they're asking to cross over to the Friendly Neighborhood. Spider-man episode.
Speaker 3:Because I think that's what he was wearing in that episode.
Speaker 2:Yep, I think it's what he was wearing in that episode. Yep, I think it was. That'd be funny. I mean, they're not the same universe, but that'd be kind of funny if that happened.
Speaker 1:Do you think three hours of Andor Is going to be overwhelming? I think it's going to be a lot because it's much different than it will be, but it's a lot different than what we've had before and I think three hour long episodes that's a lot for one week, like to I episodes that's a lot for one week.
Speaker 2:I don't know. I don't know if they're going to be an hour each. It'll be like 40-something minutes, 40-something minutes, 40-something minutes. It's two and a half hours because you've got to account for credits and all that shit. It's a two and a half hour movie. It's like watching Casino or something. The best part, you just split it up. I'll watch one now. Go do some shit and come back and watch the other half let it digest.
Speaker 1:But I guess it's good that they're not doing one episode at a time and stretching it out over three months or whatever one arc a month that would be wild.
Speaker 2:I don't know that I'll watch all of it at once. If it's good like it was season one, I will. If not, then I might do the whole digested. Take the. If it's good like it was season one, I will. If not, then I might do the whole digested.
Speaker 1:Take the first one next day second one next day, third one and then go from there. I think I sent it in chat, but they did like an hour long thing where they were interviewing Tony Gilroy, who was a showrunner, and he was saying that he'll never do Star Wars again, but it's also the greatest thing he feels like he's ever put on film.
Speaker 2:Oh, well, that's a bold statement.
Speaker 1:Well, he hated working with the Star Wars and Lucasfilm and all them Not hated it but, there was a lot of the impression that I got from his answers when he was being interviewed was that it was a there was some contention that he had to really fight for his right, his vision I'm not saying it's going to be the greatest thing, trying to screw shit up again I'm not saying it's, it's uh going to be the greatest uh thing since sliced bread, but I'm uh I'm pretty stoked for it, glad we'll have it when we get back.
Speaker 2:Greatest thing since Snow White.
Speaker 1:Hell yeah, did you see the working man stomp the shit out of it this weekend?
Speaker 2:Not stomp it, but it did beat it. It was like a million dollars. It was like 15 million for Working man 14 million. That is a damn shame that that movie beat Snow White. How bad is Snow White? What did it drop? 67% from week one to week two, good God, Just poison. Any movie she comes out with is going to be poison.
Speaker 3:I was reading that it was one of Jason Statham's worst movies. I'm not saying something. Wow, and it still got fit.
Speaker 1:I'm saying something that does say something.
Speaker 2:I mean I'm over here enjoying the Meg, but I like both of those.
Speaker 3:The second one was a little weaker but people said the second one was better. I didn't think so.
Speaker 2:All right, all right, I haven't seen it yet, so I don't know. I know, I know it's streaming, I just haven't got to it yet.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and then it was. It came out when I was on grave, so I watched both of them back-to-back.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I still can't. That shit's going to be streaming before we leave to Japan.
Speaker 1:Right. As of last weekend, it made $52 million.
Speaker 2:Domestic.
Speaker 1:Total.
Speaker 2:No, it can't be total because it made $87 million worldwide.
Speaker 1:It did $46 million $87 million worldwide.
Speaker 2:Okay then $52 million.
Speaker 1:I'm on Boxer. I'm on the domestic page.
Speaker 2:Wait. It did $46 million domestic the one week and it's only at $52 million. That means it only made $6 million domestic this weekend. Good God, that movie's going to lose $400 million because the budget is like $300 million. Another $150 million in advertising. That's marketing. That's $450 million. You need to go $900 million at the box office to get to $450 million. If they've only done $100 million and so that means they've only brought in $60 million, they are currently at a negative $380 million.
Speaker 3:That's right. Stitch will make up for it. Stitch will make up for it. Stitch will make up for it.
Speaker 2:That looked alright. I mean, I was no interest in watching Stitch live action until I saw the trailer. Uh-huh I don't like that. The little girl is not fat. She's supposed to be a little fat.
Speaker 1:The sequel to the Jim Caviezel Passion of the Christ movie barely in half the theaters. The sequel to the Jim Caviezel passion of the Christ movie Uh, oh yeah. Barely barely in half the theaters. Uh, Snow White only beat it by $3 million.
Speaker 2:Same thing with uh working man. It was in less than like a thousand, less theaters also. Yeah.
Speaker 1:Well, so Snow White's in currently in 4,200 theaters. The chosen last supper is in 4,278 theaters. And currently in 4,200 theaters. The Chosen Last Supper is in 4,278 theaters and it made $11,492. And then Working man was in 3,262 theaters.
Speaker 3:And it made $15,215,000.
Speaker 1:And made more money yeah.
Speaker 3:Death of the.
Speaker 2:Unicorn tanked, but I heard it wasn't great, Eat it. What tanked Death of the Unicorn tanked but I heard it wasn't great, eat it.
Speaker 1:What tanked Death of a Unicorn. Jenna Ortega and Paul Rudd yeah, it just looked okay. The 4K restoration of Princess Mononoke even made that shit made $12,000 a theater because it was only in 330 theaters. It came in sixth place. That's crazy. Captain America might creep over 200 million. It's at 196 right now yeah.
Speaker 2:There's probably still some locations it hasn't dropped, so that'll help that out. But man, I can't believe that I can, but I can't. I know everybody hates Rachel. Unless you're a Rachel stan, everybody hates her. The movie itself people talk about it's not even just Rachel. It would have sucked anyway because the movie was bad. I again don't have an opinion on the movie because I haven't seen it, but I'll have my opinion on Rachel it looks like I mean around the world.
Speaker 1:It's still number one in a lot of well, there's no competition, so yeah, it has the luxury of not having competition, oh God, so not interested.
Speaker 2:So not interested. It may be too late, for it's already too late for me for homework for trailers that Duke sent us. Oh wait.
Speaker 1:It's in my draft. It's in my draft. You guys threw me off.
Speaker 2:It worked out, though, because we wouldn't have time for it anyway.
