Have you ever been so engrossed in an experience that you completely forgot the original reason you were there? That's exactly what happened when one of our hosts visited the legendary Buc-ee's travel center and became so captivated by the overwhelming selection of food, merchandise, and spotless facilities that he drove away without getting gas – the primary purpose of a gas station.
This episode weaves together several captivating stories, starting with a neighborhood fire that brought seven fire trucks racing to a nearby home. From there, we follow Duke on his journey back from Bend, Oregon, where a closed highway forced him to make a classic traveler's decision: wait it out or take the long way around. His choice to wait for two hours on the roadside (while his friends who detoured beat him home by just minutes) leads to a fascinating conversation about patience versus action.
Our deep dive into the new Superman film reveals our thoughtful analysis of James Gunn's approach to the DC universe. We praise the film's ability to introduce new characters seamlessly while questioning certain creative choices, like portraying Superman's parents as "country bumpkins" – a characterization we found inconsistent with previous iterations. Despite some critique of the pacing, we ultimately found the film enjoyable enough that one host watched it twice within days.
As Comic-Con approaches, we meticulously plan our strategy for exclusive merchandise and panel attendance, sharing insider tips that might help fellow convention-goers. Our conversation naturally flows to the state of the Star Wars franchise, as we speculate about which announced projects might actually reach production and which might remain perpetually "shelved."
Whether you're navigating life's unexpected roadblocks, debating the merits of superhero films, or just looking for companionship on your commute, this episode delivers authentic conversation that feels like hanging out with friends who aren't afraid to go off on tangents that somehow always lead back to what matters.

I'll finish watching Ironheart when you get done watching it your second time.
Speaker 2:He liked it well enough that he didn't have to watch it a second time. That's how much he liked Ironheart.
Speaker 3:Yeah, we're live. And I was going to say I actually it wasn't good, but I like it better than Acolyte, Like it better than Secret Invasion, Like it better than Echo. So not sure if that says a whole hell of a lot, but I'd watch skeleton crew over well yeah, star wars uh so is acolyte yeah, so is acolyte.
Speaker 3:But still I need. I need the master cut where they only show the scenes with the master hang on, let me go see if I can grab that for you it's like shit the rest of it's tough.
Speaker 1:It's a 12-minute show.
Speaker 4:Wait, but do you want?
Speaker 2:Chimera with it too, though.
Speaker 1:Yeah, do you want all the Chimera scenes too, or just when he's the master?
Speaker 3:No, I think I would need Chimera.
Speaker 2:Right, because then you kind of lose something when he takes his shirt off. He's not as sexy. Then you're like oh, there's a naked, shirtless dude. They're like ah damn, kymer's sexy as fuck without his shirt on.
Speaker 3:There's rules, especially since now that I've met him too, right.
Speaker 1:Did you take your shirt off?
Speaker 3:When you met him Well at his room, sure.
Speaker 4:Oh my God, Hello boys Good morning everybody.
Speaker 3:Oh my god, hello boys. Good morning everybody.
Speaker 2:That's for our foreign listeners or the people that listen to it in the morning yeah, good morning, good afternoon and good night. Dude the house not directly across from us, but across and to the left if you're facing. I guess they had some, some workers there, some shit. They left some chemicals in the garage.
Speaker 2:No, bro was that the one we're sitting on the couch right. I'm like who's doing their yard? Today I saw this leaf blowing, so wife brings up the camera. She's like there's a fire truck outside. So we go outside. There's like seven fire trucks, two uh rescue units, the fire captain and they're cutting open their garage door and then they wait jack hi no because the the paramedics were chilling over by our house where the mailbox is.
Speaker 2:So I'm like, hey, fellas, how's it going? He's like shark attack. I'm like I fucking knew it. I told that guy let to get a shark. You never expect it.
Speaker 1:I didn't know I was going to live across the street from Richard Dreyfuss.
Speaker 3:Okay, it's the 50th anniversary. It makes sense, yeah, thankfully nobody's home.
Speaker 2:It did not burn down, it should have just been contained to the garage. You know the garage insulation and all that.
Speaker 1:Was that the place when I came? When I came over the the like, it was like 10 o'clock at night and the door, the front door, was open and there was all sorts of shit all over and I'm like, are people working on the house across the street?
Speaker 2:and you went, I guess so like it was one that had like. There's the one across from us that was that house. This one's to the left of that one you're facing yeah, it was cray, did you back?
Speaker 3:Did you backtrack your ring to go see if he had any? Yeah, my wife did.
Speaker 2:She's like oh look, because our neighbor that lives next door he's like neighborhood watch captain or something. He knows everybody and everybody's business, right oh man.
Speaker 1:He used to be a detective with LAPD.
Speaker 2:So I think it's just how he is at this point in his life, yep.
Speaker 3:I guess that shit can't be helped.
Speaker 2:So he's like I got home and I heard their alarm, some alarm going off, so he calls them because they were out of town and they're like, yeah, it's our heat alarm. That's weird. So he calls the fire department and they show up. Then all of a sudden he said there was a small explosion and on the cameras you can just see all this smoke come out the top of their house.
Speaker 1:I love the fact that you fucking live in Vegas, where right now your average temperature is 110, and the house has a heat sensor what's?
Speaker 2:that sent to.
Speaker 1:What's that sent to 210?
Speaker 2:No, look, we pay for extra insulation in our garage, so it doesn't get that hot.
Speaker 1:Ah, eventually for Louie's bedroom.
Speaker 3:I was going to say it depends. That's kind of smart. Do you have anything in the garage that?
Speaker 2:is going to melt. I mean no, I put all the important shit in the that's what I was thinking I was like there ain't none in there?
Speaker 3:You ain't using that as storage for?
Speaker 1:that it's a long walk from the door to the garage, that's where all the gentle giant boxes will go once I unbox them again.
Speaker 2:Oh, the gentle giant boxes will go once I unbox them again.
Speaker 1:Oh well, in that case that's different and we don't need those catching on fire.
Speaker 3:Yeah, or the plastic melting on the outside window.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the styrofoam just dissolving. Yeah, dripping on the cars and shit.
Speaker 3:Yeah, oh my god, yep, that matters.
Speaker 2:It does. It does, but also just so it's not like fucking suffocating when you go get in the car, that's the thing right there.
Speaker 1:That's what I'm saying From the door to the garage to the car is a long walk, man that's how you do it in Vegas Air conditioning, everything.
Speaker 3:Just put a vent in there that goes to the garage and help that person. Cool too.
Speaker 2:Right man.
Speaker 3:Dude, did you get your box?
Speaker 1:I've not checked my mail yet.
Speaker 4:I just got home like an hour ago, this guy.
Speaker 3:Dude, you have Tracking shows that showed up Friday.
Speaker 1:Okay, good.
Speaker 3:I'm just worried about them returning the sender because it ain't been picked up.
Speaker 1:No, they'll put it in their little parcel box. That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3:If you don't pick up the parcel box around the time, they'll remove it.
Speaker 2:They didn't come today, don't you remember?
Speaker 3:Duke is on the board.
Speaker 2:They're not touching his shit.
Speaker 3:That's not the board, Post office and the board. They don't work that way. They have their own rules.
Speaker 1:I'll go check it out for the pod Okay cool. My accident meter on my way home from Ben today went from hey, you might need to take care of this when you get home too. If we don't take care of this in the next five minutes, your car is going to smell really bad for a long time.
Speaker 3:So, there was no, like I'm going to go check the mail first. It was no, no, no, this guy.
Speaker 2:We were on Defcon 1. It's like a heat meter for his pants yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3:His pants are the heat meter.
Speaker 1:We've gone zero days since the last accident I had to erase the whiteboard.
Speaker 4:Mind you, it was only at like two. So it's fine, it's fine, we were in double digits, double digits.
Speaker 1:I've had longer Wordle success rates than I have number of accidents. But nope, I was telling Jack before the pod. So I spent the weekend in Bend and drove back today and there's really two ways to drive back from bend. Bend is kind of, but it's kind of central oregon um almost eastern oregon.
Speaker 3:Isn't there a college event? No, that's eugene or corvallis, eugene and corvallis, but ben just sounds so familiar.
Speaker 1:I don't know why it's just huge for like outdoor, outdoor sporting.
Speaker 3:Maybe that's what it is. Places to avoid.
Speaker 1:Speaking of that, we went because we had tickets to see Trevor Noe on Saturday night, that's right.
Speaker 1:Lou, I will say up until about the last 15 minutes of the show when he kind of started talking about Donald Trump and stuff. I think you would have really liked it. There was a ton of black humor and that type of thing. Like he's in bend and he's like hey, sir, like sir, uh, you know where are you from? And he's like I'm from Texas. And he's like, oh, okay, I can tell you're not from here because you're wearing jeans, Cause it's flip flop, flip flop, flip flop, flip-flop, croc, croc, black person, flip-flop, flip-flop, croc. Like yeah, and so there was a lot of humor wrapped around that and uh at one point.
Speaker 1:At one point he noticed there was a person doing signing over on the side, like everything that they were saying and he's like so everything I'm saying to you you're signing to them.
Speaker 1:So if you're, and then she would respond, but she would sign when she would say it. And then he would be like wait, so now you're signing to me what I'm saying to you, and then so you're signing back. You're talking to me while I'm talking what I'm saying to you, but you're saying it back to me and she's like yeah. And then he's like do you have to say everything I say? And she goes yeah, and he goes okay.
Speaker 2:And then he uh, says the n word like 10 times in a row and she just goes no I bet they have a word for that and black american sign I bet they do, naturally the black, but it was I'm gonna have to watch um sinners on hbo max because that is the first movie that's gonna have have black American sign language. So they say that word a lot in that movie. I'm learning sign language.
Speaker 3:When I saw that I was like this is a joke. First the national anthem Okay, but look.
Speaker 2:I looked it up, though, and it is basically a bonics for sign language, because black folk they do talk different and that's separate but equal shit. Like when sign language came out, it was not equal, separate, but equal shit. When sign language came out, it was not equal.
Speaker 1:It was separate. English doesn't need to be separated. Speak it properly. Well, actually going along with that he actually had and how the people that are, the only way to be successful is to basically Americanize yourself as much as possible. So the example he used was Adele. He's like Adele speaks English, but if you listen to her sing she speaks. She speaks American when she sings her song. And so he did this whole bit where he was like she comes out stage and she's like oh, hello everybody you know, uh, british accent, british accent.
Speaker 1:And then she's like, okay, here's my song. And then she goes into it and he starts singing her song. But he's like boom drops right into just like a flat american accent through the whole thing and he's like, right now, it just blew all your fucking minds, didn't like I bet most of you didn't even think about that shit. Adele's British. Yeah, say, luke didn't even know. Yeah, yeah, if you listen to Adele talk and then you hear her sing, it sounds like it's two different people.
Speaker 3:I'd have no reason to listen to Adele talk, but I didn't know she was British.
Speaker 1:She's rich.
Speaker 4:How rich?
Speaker 1:She's a rich white lady.
Speaker 2:What do you want?
Speaker 1:Rich enough to have a residency in A rich.
Speaker 2:British white lady.
Speaker 1:She was rich enough to have a residency in Vegas that tickets were reselling for like three to four times the value of what the ticket was.
Speaker 3:Okay, I mean, I like her music. James Bond song is really good.
Speaker 1:But his set was really good. He went on to like Fire to the rain. He did like an hour and a half long set, which was super cool.
Speaker 1:Oh, wow so today I'm coming back. There's really two ways to come back from Ben to get to Oregon or to get to Portland. You can kind of go west a bunch and then get on the five and take the five back to Portland, or you can kind of go, so Mount Hood's kind of in the middle and you just kind of one way or the other around the mountain.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's like some cartoon criminal's headquarters. You know, mount Hood it is.
Speaker 1:That's where they have a racist guy, by the way you're right, because Timberline Lodge was the exteriors were actually used in the movie the Shining. So you're right, it was an evil man's Mount Hood.
Speaker 2:It also used to be a volcano, though.
Speaker 3:Well, I mean it still is, but yes, I was going to say I think they still stay volcanoes. I don't know if they still call volcanoes they're inactive. They just call them inactive volcanoes. Yes, so I don't think they'll call it walk-ins or inactive, they just call it an inactive walk-in, yes.
Speaker 1:So anyways, duke's taking the long way. Yeah, a little bit longer, because any time I can avoid the five, I do, because I fucking hate being on the five, it's just the worst. So I'm taking the scenic route, which is fine, I don't mind, it's a nice drive. And except, all of a sudden everybody in front of me stops and I'm like okay, there's an accident. And then all of a sudden a bunch of people in front of me start making U-turns and going the other direction.
Speaker 1:I'm at a point where if I make a U-turn, I'm backtracking at least an hour to an hour and a half and then taking like another route that takes me way, way, way far out of the way to loop around. And I'm like you make that. You have to make that decision when you start seeing people make u-turns of am I gonna make a u-turn and follow the crowd or am I just gonna stay the course and ride or die this bitch? And I said you know what, I'm gonna ride or die it. And then I fucking came up, boom, the cones were in front of me. I was the third car and I was like cool, I went, I turned my car off. I got out, walked across the street, stood in the shade for a couple hours until they were done Got back in my car.
Speaker 1:Well, it was two cars that had a head-on collision. I wish somebody would have been with me, or if I had a dash cam, because the cars were fucked. I was like God damn.
Speaker 3:Somehow nobody died. Your phone doesn't have a camera.
Speaker 1:Well, I was driving. I thought you parked the car. I'm confused. No, no, the the. The accident was like a mile and a half from where they had us blocked off.
Speaker 4:Oh, so then they picked the cones up.
Speaker 1:We drove and I was driving when we went by the accident. Okay I got you and, and I was two cars behind a police officer, so the last thing I wanted to do was be like taking pictures.
Speaker 3:Get that dash cam.
Speaker 1:I know the funny part is I was driving behind a trailer right before that and I looked behind me and there was nobody behind me. And then all of a sudden, or there was somebody behind me, but it was just a pickup truck or something. And then all of a sudden there's like these lights in my rear view and I look and I was like, oh shit, it's a cop. And I looked and I'm like and then all of a sudden there's like these lights in my rear view and I look and I was like, oh shit, it's a cop. And I looked and I'm like I'm stuck behind a trailer, I'm not speeding, I'm not doing anything, I'm just, you know, whatever. So I pulled it. I'm like, hopefully this wasn't for me. So I pulled over to the side and he just punched it and flew by me. But a little bit of.
Speaker 3:I got a wait, so so, with this two-hour delay, would it have been better if you u-turn?
Speaker 1:no, because my high friends.
Speaker 3:Funny, you mentioned that funny.
Speaker 1:Yeah, thanks for that segue, lou. Uh, I had the friends that I went with for the weekend. They actually turned around and took the long way around. They beat me home by 10 minutes, all right, so so you can save the gas, the driving time just chill for a bit yep, so normal circumstances.
Speaker 3:How far away are you from bend like?
Speaker 1:how long?
Speaker 3:three hours, three hours, ten minutes, something like that okay, so it's normally a three hour drive okay, yeah, and then it'd be in like five and a half. I was gonna say and it became a five plus hour drive because of it.
Speaker 1:Yeah but I mean I was in no rush, I mean it's not a big, like you know, I wasn't stressed Like there was nothing going on, that I was like, oh God, I got to get home, except for when the accident meter went off.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, I mean, you were just standing on the side of the road in the woods. You could have just that's true.
Speaker 1:You could it no.
Speaker 3:Dude. That totally reminds me of that Eddie Murphy joke the bear and a rabbit shit in the woods, the big brown shark is floating through the water and the bear says to the rabbit do you have a problem with shit sticking to your fur? And the rabbit says no. So the bear whacked his ass with the rabbit. He said, good, no. So the bear whacked his ass with the rabbit.
Speaker 3:He said good okay, that was either the start of delirious or the start of raw, but that's how one of those eddie murphy stand-up started was that joke, the, and then the bit when he's talking about the gi going into the, the gi joe guy going into the cave goes in the cave bathtub and then the big brown shark cave no, no, that I think it was.
Speaker 3:I think it was the middle of Delirious and there was like an under-18 kid there and then he's telling the kid the jokes so he can tell it back to his friends at school, something like that. It's been years since I've seen either one of those, but damn, now I can see if they're on streaming because those two are pretty damn funny. It's been a while, you would think. I agree, you would think they'd be on streaming, but who knows A lot of this shit sometimes. Oh, and IMDb is wrong too. I was looking up I can't remember what it was Something the other day. It was like no, and it's like no, it's right here, it's right here on HBO Max or whatever it was, or Prime. It was Prime because we saw the trailer during F1. We saw the trailer to Nobody 2 and my girl hadn't seen it. I was like, oh, okay, so after F1, we came back and watched Nobody for the first half of it, but she was tired. But I looked it up on IMDb and it said rentable on Prime, but she was actually tired.
Speaker 3:She fell asleep about 45 minutes into the movie so it was like but she's like, it's so serious. I'm like. Imdb says it's not. It says it's only rental available. So I'm still waiting for a damn app. That that's correct. That'll just. I'm looking for a movie.
Speaker 1:Tell me what streaming device the hard part is that shit changes so frequently and sometimes people don't even. Like you'll be going in and being like you might go in right now to watch the end of it, and they'll be like, oh sorry, went off the 15th of July, you know.
Speaker 3:Yeah, but you don't think the database can be, you know, moved over to like apps that you can know You'd have to have.
Speaker 1:The problem is, I think, a lot of that stuff they still do manually, like there's no automated way, because again, they want you to go and look, right like that's part of the goal is for you to go and look. That's why we don't have like a centralized like.
Speaker 3:You know what Netflix used to be right like that sounds like bad business, because I'll be disappointed if, oh, let me go look, it's like. Oh, it's not here and if I'm, the first thing I'm gonna do is switch to a different app and see if they have it.
Speaker 1:I mean that seems bad, but the problem is that you've already been in the app. That's all they care about. They don't even care. I don't even. I'll be honest with you. I don't think they necessarily care if you watch something, because Netflix used to consider it a watch if you watched the first 10 minutes of something. So that's how come they could inflate their numbers so much, because they were like, oh, somebody, and, and that's why they auto play the next episode, right because? Or the next, whatever it is right, if you watch a movie and it comes up and says, hey, you might like to watch this, and then, if you don't hit anything like, it automatically starts playing, unless you go in and like set it to not do that. No, sir backdoor.
Speaker 2:Part 1 was not good. I did not want to watch the second one. There is zero interest there.
Speaker 1:No, not Netflix. Netflix.
Speaker 2:Are you still jerking to this video?
Speaker 1:You haven't touched the controller in a while, are you?
Speaker 3:I need to clean it up, fuck.
Speaker 1:It keeps slipping out of my hand.
Speaker 3:Oh man. So Jack, speaking of my little side, do you plan on watching F1? Yeah, probably not. I'm like hold on, wait. What a side.
Speaker 1:What are you mentioning? Wait, is there something to jerk off in F1? Brad Pitt.
Speaker 3:Carrie Conrad. I think that's her name.
Speaker 2:No, carrie Condon, I off in f1. Uh, brad pett, carrie conrad, I think that's her name.
Speaker 1:No, carrie condo. I'm gonna catch that on streaming. Yeah, who looks? Who looks a lot like um. Oh, the girl that's been in a bunch of, she was in um exactly what he's talking about camera recording my free guy but, but, and I was like yeah, it looks like her also. I agree well, when it started, I was like is that her? And then the credit started rolling and I was like oh no, it's the girl who looks exactly like her. So were they not able to afford her that? They were like okay.
Speaker 2:And that's something I just respect to her.
Speaker 1:I thought she did a fine job in the movie, but the fact that they look Comer, she was from Killing Eve, right? Judy Shoot, fuck, never mind, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2:There should be some sort of database for movies with movies, yeah, but I mean, I just heard, I could I just heard.
Speaker 1:I couldn't trust it, so don't not, not, not if you're trying to stream something.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, don't do it if you're trying to stream something no, I mean, it looks fine, but it's not something that. It's two and a half hours. I didn't know that.
Speaker 2:Again, it's something like do I?
Speaker 3:leave a little one at home.
Speaker 2:You know, or do I put her in the fucking arcade next to the bowling? Alley for two and a half hours that was close, jody Comer. I don't know, especially with everything going on with my mom. I don't know Especially with everything going on with my mom.
Speaker 3:No, that's fair when it comes to streaming. Give it a shot. It was actually a good movie.
Speaker 2:Yeah, for sure it's one of those movies that it looks good.
Speaker 3:You'll watch it once and be fine yeah that sounds about right, unless you're an F1 fan, you might watch it multiple times. Unless you want to bitch about?
Speaker 2:advertising Gran Turismo. That one was fine. I enjoyed that well enough. The one with the kid playing video games.
Speaker 3:Was that F1 or Indie? I don't remember that was F1 too.
Speaker 1:It was kind of F1 adjacent. I think it was based in F1, but I don't know if it was like official. Sometimes they can just kind of do the same type of thing without.
Speaker 3:I enjoyed it. I didn't get the tickets for a Tuesday show. I was like, okay, cool, it was like two and a half hours. I didn't know that was the case, but it didn't feel like it, but that means your $5 goes that much further. It did. But again it was a good enough movie that it did not feel like two and a half hours the stuff that was in it to make it two and a half hours needed to be there whereas Superman seemed rushed to me it did, but it didn't feel very long either, everything just kind of I thought it was just one thing.
Speaker 2:On to the next well, that's the thing.
Speaker 3:To me that's kind of a problem. It was kind of like that one movie that Duke's not aware of, that's the thing. To me that's kind of a problem. It was kind of like that one movie that Duke's not aware of, that's background, which Duke is not aware, that Star. Wars one when that one kind of just one thing led to another and it just kept going. There was no pauses for any kind of character growth.
Speaker 2:But you know what I'm not mad about? It introduced a lot of characters to start the new DC universe, but it wasn't rough or jarring. They're just there and you just accept that they're there.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I liked the beginning. Oh, here's Green Lantern.
Speaker 2:Oh, flashbacks. Here's him taking his oath.
Speaker 3:Here's him talking about flashbacks, although I would have liked some kind of history flashbacks. Here's his flashbacks, although, although I would have liked some kind of history, like at least with Green Lantern they talked about hey, I didn't join the Green Lantern core in the core of this is the type of stuff.
Speaker 3:I do a show coming out, so you'll get it then. Well, that's, that's the thing it's like. It's like they didn't really explain that and I would have liked to. Not so much for him, because with the Green Lantern Corps movie I'm sure they'll explain his story there. But Hawkgirl, I'm like, ok, we have nothing. Why is she screaming all the time? Because she's a hawk, I guess, but that's not normal. And the other Hawkgirl anytime there's a Hawkgirl, hawkboy, like even a TV show, that's not a thing. So I would have liked to have understood why that was the case. Like, even just like when they were sitting around and at the hall of justice they could have just kind of chilled and had some kind of explanation. It's like I don't like exposition all the time, and this, this movie, because it was just one thing into the next thing and the next thing was like three stopping points. It would have been nice to have a little bit of filler in there.
Speaker 2:Yeah, just a little bit of filler in there. Just a little bit. I don't want a lot. I think that, and Gunn's not wrong. But they're just like here. It's a movie right in the middle of the DC Universe. There's stuff that happened before, stuff's going to happen after. It's like fucking Star Wars starting as Star Wars on Episode IV. Something happened before, something happened after, so they're just like here. You know Superman's story and here's his friends who aren't important. They're like his friends and they're just kind of hanging out. You can find out why she screams later.
Speaker 3:And if that's the case, I'm fine with that. If they do that, if they just let this go, I'm going to be irritated. But and I didn't care about Green Lantern I know his movies coming, so I don't know.
Speaker 1:I have a feeling he has all that stuff planned out, at least for right now, like everything that I read, while he doesn't have things fully fleshed out. I don't, and James Gunn has never struck me as somebody that's going to do something half assed Like if he's going to have something distinctive, like her screaming while going into battle or whatever. He's going to have a connection to that at some point.
Speaker 3:Well, he may have it, but is he going to share it? That's the thing I mean. Shit happens. I think he will. The audience doesn't always get it. Stuff gets cut and all this. I don't care if they explain it in a show, a future show Peacemaker cartoon, creature Commando Season 2. I don't care, just explain it, because I'm sitting there watching this. I'm like so for me, it takes me away from it. I'm like I don't understand why she's doing it Like Green Lantern.
Speaker 2:I kind of get.
Speaker 3:And again, it could be that simple. It could be that simple If they would have just said that in the movie Justice and they were kind of going back and forth and got a guy. Gardner would have made the joke or something about oh, it's like your battle cry, whatever and OK and then now I know what it is.
Speaker 1:Why do you scream all the time?
Speaker 3:Or he because of you, it would be. He would know. He would know why they've been together for Got him Dude that would have been funny actually.
Speaker 1:And then they had the guy go got him.
Speaker 3:But a quick little one-liner like that, and then you have the couple serious moments with Lois and Clark and then the paw and Clark. So there was a couple moments here and there, but overall it was like, can we like let's just go to Action A, to Action B, to Action C? It's like, come on, yeah, I feel like I'm watching Harry Potter 3 or, like I said, episode 9.
Speaker 1:Episode 9? Is that Star Trek or something?
Speaker 3:Yes, actually it is Episode 9 of Creature Commandos.
Speaker 4:It'll never, not be funny.
Speaker 2:Overall. I liked it though.
Speaker 1:I didn't have any major problems with it.
Speaker 2:The one thing that actually annoyed me was Ma and Pa Kent were country bumpkins. Dude, ignorant, ass country bumpkins, that is very true. I did not like that portrayal of them when she's on the phone like can you hear us, can?
Speaker 3:you hear us all the way there in the big cities. She never had a speakerphone before in her life, Although I thought it was funny to call the TV the box. That was funny. There's something in the box you need to see. I'm like alright.
Speaker 2:But I've just no, I'm not a huge Superman guy. I read maybe a handful of comics. All my Superman is from Smallville, Lois and Clark Cartoon.
Speaker 4:Justice League? I don't know.
Speaker 2:Maybe there are versions of them that are country bumpkins, maybe I don't know, but in my Superman consumption I've never seen them portrayed that way.
Speaker 3:Yeah, me neither.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that was weird to me, as well, our movie conception consisted of Bo Duke and Bull Durham being Superman's dad. That's true.
Speaker 2:Well, now Rocket Raccoon is his dad, so that's what I was going to switch to.
Speaker 3:I didn't like that they were going with the whole take over the planet thing, because that wasn't normal for me. I'm not used to Supermanman's dad having that. But see, I don't trust it though, because we got it from the bad guys but that's the thing they made a point, to make sure that that was a legit but homegirl, legit is nanobots. She can fake that shit I mean I guess they could retcon it later. But yeah, I think they were doing it on purpose because that's how they moved the story forward.
Speaker 2:They might have. What did I play? Oh, the Telltale Batman games. Bruce's parents are in cahoots with the Cobblepots and shit, trying to take over Gotham and stuff, even gang war stuff.
Speaker 1:Even the Batman right.
Speaker 2:Yeah, exactly, even the Batman, his parents were ended up being kind of shitty uh, yeah or not.
Speaker 1:No, I don't. I'm trying to remember because it's been a while since I've seen it, but they were involved, probably not knowing how much they were involved right, wasn't that what it was?
Speaker 2:was like, oh we're gonna smear.
Speaker 1:we're gonna smear the waynes because they do this thing that ended up being bad, but they didn't have like a direct connect. It was like oh, we're going to smear the Waynes because they do this thing that ended up being bad, but they didn't have a direct connection. It was like their foundation, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3:Something they should have known about but maybe they didn't. But I guess it goes back to that. It's like I've never heard a story ever of Superman's dad slash mom. I guess yeah, because she was on it too. So I never Superman's parents saying go take over the world, have a harem and make half breeds. It's like no, that's not how.
Speaker 2:Jor-El Lou hates interracial. He definitely hates interspecies. I mean come on now, let's be real, everybody knows.
Speaker 1:Unless the dog's home and he's got a little peanut butter.
Speaker 3:As long as it's not the chunky peanut butter. I don't want to know. This just feels weird. But yeah, that bothered me a little bit.
Speaker 2:I was like that's not how his parents were it also goes well with you know it kind of gives Pa Kent's whole speech. You choose who you want to be. You're not who your parents say you have to be.
Speaker 3:The story is here For Lex's point and for that moment on the farm. I get it, it's there and it works for it being there. I just wish they would have picked a different way to do it.
Speaker 2:DC also makes the bread and butter and multiverse shit, so fuck it. This is the Superman and Jor-el we have now.
Speaker 3:So yeah, exactly it's like oh, this is how it's going to be all right. Yes, I guess like it's fine, it's a different take. I didn't like it, but I didn't think it was horrible again, it doesn't ruin the movie no, not at all, not at all, and I understood that that's what it needed to move the story, especially with lex's agenda, because what other agenda could Lex have used?
Speaker 2:Any questions from the audience? Duke, Duke, you're right there with the beard.
Speaker 1:Lou, you said during the trailers that the Lex's how he was presented in the trailers bothered you, that you weren't a fan of that.
Speaker 2:That was me. Yeah, he seemed super racist and xenophobic. Okay, sorry, I assumed it was racism, so I was just assuming it was Lou.
Speaker 1:He seemed like super racist and xenophobic.
Speaker 3:Okay, sorry, sorry, I assumed it was racism so I was just assuming it was Lou, totally fair. I was going to say you picked the wrong racist.
Speaker 1:Did that vet out where the trailer's misleading?
Speaker 2:He wasn't that bad until his little speech at the end where he actually called him a piece of shit, alien. I was like whoa sir.
Speaker 1:Sir, did you guys watch the light detector thing I sent? Sorry, go ahead and finish your point, jack, and then I'll something maybe, I don't think. I don't ever seen a light detector fine, I get yelled at all the time for missing links and shit and I send one fucking link and you're like what the what?
Speaker 3:no, sorry, sorry, jack, finish, hold on via text or something yeah it, it was in the check Tuesday or Wednesday.
Speaker 1:But go ahead. Finish your point, jack, I didn't mean to cut you off there.
Speaker 2:No, I mean, it didn't make him as shitty of a person as being racist could have been. I think he explained it well enough. He had a couple of monologues throughout the movie and um, as lex does, um, and there was one where I don't think it's so much that he's racist. I think he doesn't know another way to explain it, because he does say yes, I am jealous that you are an alien and you're stronger than us and you know you could take over the planet if you wanted.
Speaker 2:So I and we're going to go extinct and you're just going to be sitting here chilling. So I think that I don't know. Maybe this is a younger lex and he doesn't know how to express himself. He needs to go to therapy or something, and then it just comes out as racist. Where I, like I said, you cannot be as smart as lex is and be racist you.
Speaker 3:You can't right yeah, so, and he wasn't racist against the other ones no, yeah, and he was fine with other like medic humans.
Speaker 2:He's like oh, they're kind of lame but he was only racist against super because he was an alien. So I think that he just had no other way of expressing himself except for calling him a piece of shit alien, and then Krypto beat the shit out of him.
Speaker 1:So the trailers distilled that into maybe not what his true character was in the movie.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 4:But again, it's a trailer, right, they have to cut it exactly yeah, they need to make lex look really bad.
Speaker 2:I mean, he was a really bad, horrible person in the movie. But yeah, to explain lex, lex is a complicated character, right? Yeah, he's rich. Why is he such a little bitch about everything? Why is he bald? Um, but yeah, to boil it down to a trailer, you have to just say you know what, let's pick the worst thing that he could say, put in the trailer, and we're done.
Speaker 1:Yep, you suck. I'm gonna kill everybody you know and everybody you love, and your family and everybody else. While that might have been a five minute, that might have been a five minute monologue, but they just distilled it down to the two or three sentences to exactly make your ears perk up in the trailer.
Speaker 2:Yeah, uh basically but no, he did good. I thought everything everybody was super well cast um. Even victor zaz from gotham played a mineral man. He was really good at that too.
Speaker 3:He really did, he really did hold that role.
Speaker 1:And soon he'll be the guy from Twisted Metal. I can't remember his name right now, but the guy who leads Calypso, who runs the tournament.
Speaker 3:Season 2.
Speaker 1:Yeah, end of August.
Speaker 3:I think oh, I thought it was end of the year. Depends on when it is. We'll get to that. We'll get the comic-con but I liked it.
Speaker 2:I had zero problem with it. Um lu saw it a second time without hesitation I really did.
Speaker 3:It was like, because it was going to be, I'm gonna watch it on thursday and if it's good I'll go back with you on sunday or tuesday, whatever, and if it's not, you're on your own or go with your kids. And it was like, hey, can we go on Sunday? I go? Yep, I liked it enough or I had no problem. I did not think twice about it. It was just pick a time and I'm there. It was good enough to watch again and I'm not going to say I liked it better the second time, because usually now the just looking right, you're just enjoying, yeah yeah, and there wasn't much like I don't know.
Speaker 2:There wasn't anything as negative wrong with the movie.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah again, it was the same things I talked about. It was the whole.
Speaker 1:The pacing seemed a little too fast for me, but it still didn't make it a bad movie by any means, so I enjoyed it I think they had a certain amount of ground that they wanted to cover to get the new universe going, and so that's probably why it felt rushed was that they didn't want it to be a four hour movie, you know, or break it up into two movies or whatever.
Speaker 3:You know it's funny. You say that, though, because I'm like OK, they got that, they got the new universe going, they got that, they got everything established. I don't know if this movie needed that to be established. The first opening five seconds, when they explained what's going on over the last 300 years, it was like okay, movie's over. The rest of it is just like okay, let's play it out and you'll see what I mean. When you watch it, I'm with Jack oh and kind of backtrack a little bit, just because because of the whole bullshit with this movie is woke and the whole immigrant thing, and I'm like no, this movie has nothing to do with that. Really, the way the whole they're trying to make a direct connection to current politics and this movie did not exist no bullshit at all. Anybody who makes that comment did not see the movie.
Speaker 4:And that is an absolute fact.
Speaker 3:If you say this movie is woke in any way, shape or form, you did not watch this movie, Because it is not at all.
Speaker 2:I mean, mr Triff did get a lot of screen time.
Speaker 3:I mean for real and he should only get 12% of the time, so whatever.
Speaker 2:Maybe three-fifths.
Speaker 4:So, real quick. Exactly, that's seven minutes Seven percent.
Speaker 3:We can do it that way.
Speaker 1:The link I sent you guys was the Vanity Fair. They do the lie detector test. Okay, Before you get into it.
Speaker 3:I'm like I saw that, and then you gave it away. Turns out Superman is a big Star Wars fan, respect. I'm like, oh that, and then you gave it away. Turns out Superman is a big Star Wars fan, respect. I'm like, oh well, he told us what he wanted us to see, so that's why I didn't watch it. I was like, oh here, he told us Like, oh, if I watch this, I'm going to learn that Superman is a big Star Wars fan. Like he told us that. So I scrolled on.
Speaker 1:That's why I didn't watch video clip.
Speaker 4:Anyways, I try not to waste you guys time with clips, uh or wasted memes, unlike some people um my favorite is when jack sends something from facebook but it cut it weird.
Speaker 1:And I'm like what? I think that's happened two or three times where it's cut it weird and both you and me were like what the fuck is this? And then jack's like oh, and then he like sends another one where it's like the top two inches of the screen like explain what the joke is, and we're like, oh, okay, now we get it and he's like sorry like.
Speaker 1:But uh no, it was lex lewis, the character, the guy who plays lex luther and the guy who plays superman, who looks weirdly different when he has a fucking full beard and like a normal haircut and stuff. Like it's crazy how different he looks like. I was like, wait, when the fuck is that?
Speaker 1:oh god, that's Superman oh shit damn nice beard, son, nice beard work my friend um respect. Um, so they were doing a light detector test with each other, basically one of them's on the light detector while the other's asking him questions. And he said, uh, he asked him. So, uh, nicholas Holt, uh asked uh, the guy who plays Superman. Basically like, hey, like you're a huge Star Wars fan, can you recite any scene from the movie? And he's like, well, normally I would, but I've been busy, you know, filming a movie. He's like, but normally I watch at least the original trilogy every six months. And I was like, damn son, like that's bold, well done. I was like, holy shit, I don't even do that.
Speaker 3:I was about to say you don't do that. No, I got better shit to do yeah, because of you, lou.
Speaker 1:But even so I was like, okay, like wait, if I can own that shit, I like that. And so then Wait, if I can own that shit, I like that. So he said okay, and he's like, he's like on all two of them. I watch it right after.
Speaker 3:Mean Girls every six months.
Speaker 1:So he said, on New Year's they watch the original trilogy and the Death Star 2 blows up at midnight and I was like damn son like that's fucking hardcore man like you're like. Nope, sorry, every kids, everyone. We're watching the original trilogy to go go out on the year. I was like, and they're like, dad, we did this last year, don't care this is, we'll do it every year forever.
Speaker 3:This is my shit you gotta like started it like fucking 10, 17 or something yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly, uh.
Speaker 1:So so then, uh, he asked him, he said, um, would you rather continue playing superman in the sequels or would do you want to be a jedi knight in star wars? And he was like he actually like sat there for like 15, 20 seconds like I think I'd have to go with, I think I'd have to go with being a jedi knight. And I was like, okay, you're fucking Superman. Bye, I don't need to be Sorry, one and done, but then he goes.
Speaker 1:He was funny because then he follows up, he goes well, and it's kind of also because I've already been signed up for sequels for Superman, so this just means I can go negotiate better for becoming a Jedi Knight. I was like, damn son, you got that bank too. You're gonna walk into Filoni's office and be like, bam, I'm Superman, motherfucker, Make me a Jedi Knight.
Speaker 2:Sir, I have the highest grossing Superman movie ever, so what can you do for me, Dave?
Speaker 1:But I just it's very rare when you see somebody who is like a rising star or like a star of note, just like owning his, you know, owning his, uh, his geekdom type of thing, we get a lot of kind of people who are like, oh yeah, I'm a geek and you're kind of like okay, cool. But when this guy is like okay, Olivia Munn calm down.
Speaker 3:I like dressing up like Slade Leia 56-55. If you start returning the Jedi at 9-56-55 and hit play, then you'll get to the Death Star explosion.
Speaker 1:And I bet that motherfucker knows it too, because he's like he's at home on New Year's Eve. He's like waiting, waiting, waiting.
Speaker 3:We gotta skip the fanfare. Y'all made me late.
Speaker 2:Why is this buffering who's on the internet? Turn off your goddamn cell phones.
Speaker 3:You pop in a DVD for that, you don't risk it.
Speaker 1:Exactly, you pop in the VHS on that one.
Speaker 3:Oh man.
Speaker 1:Do I have a?
Speaker 3:Do either one of you own a VHS?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't have a VCR, but I have the tapes.
Speaker 3:Oh no, yeah, I own the tapes. So I'm just wondering if you have a VCR. I don't have a VCR either.
Speaker 1:You know, to be honest with you, I have a Big hand. I've, like when Andy First came out on VHS and stuff, I have all those and I've contemplated like sending them in to have them digitized, even though I can go download 4K versions of them right now.
Speaker 3:Nostalgia.
Speaker 1:Sentimental value.
Speaker 3:I have a beta version of.
Speaker 1:Return of the.
Speaker 3:Dead.
Speaker 1:Nice.
Speaker 3:When that came out and we had a beta player. My dad still has a beta player and a beta camcorder.
Speaker 1:There was a. There was a. There was a video, a video store near the house that closed and I went in and got one of the original. I got the original Empire Strikes Back VHS box Because they had all three of them and then when I showed up, the other two were gone for whatever reason, so I just grabbed the last one. Are you only the best one for Duke to get? I don't know, it was meant to be, but yeah, no, I just respected the shit out of him for owning that because you know.
Speaker 3:That's cool.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, I thought it was really cool. It was good to kind of get a shout out with him, not, I mean, you know, when you get guys who are in star Wars and they're like I love star Wars, you know, and you're like cool, yeah, because you're in it, right. But for somebody who is completely unrelated to that universe and has not never been mentioned as far as like, and it's technically- on the opposite side being WB as opposed to Disney so shutting out the competition.
Speaker 2:That was all. I thought it was a cool video, but they seem to really get along at uh 1600 hours, and that's when my lunch is over, so that's why.
Speaker 1:Oh wow, all the excuses, it's a legit one I'm gonna say, I don't even have excuses.
Speaker 3:I have reasons. It's like if you wouldn't have put the the caption there, I probably would have watched it I'm like oh, all right, what's this?
Speaker 2:you like the vagueness's this? Who likes the vagueness?
Speaker 3:I do, I really do.
Speaker 1:The vagueness is what makes me go. Look, no more comments. I'll wait until you both react.
Speaker 3:Check this out. It's like ooh dude, check this out. And then it's about, so I don't need to watch it.
Speaker 1:I'm actually mad at old girl because she should have, I should have. She should have told me that before, because I'm sure she sent you links and then made a comment and you just never watch the video. And then she's like did you see that thing I sent you and you go no, nope, so I blame old girl. You're listening? I know you're listening because you're the only person who listens to all until next week.
Speaker 3:She doesn't, she doesn't like right now, no, no, I'm saying, I'm saying it I'm saying that their future old girl is what I'm doing right now.
Speaker 1:You're. This is past duke telling you. You need to fucking give me a heads up on these things you're that, uh that purple hippo from uh birdman.
Speaker 2:Hey, did you get that thing I sent you? I the thing I sent you, yep.
Speaker 3:Ah Birdman, I miss.
Speaker 1:Birdman.
Speaker 3:So yeah, so F1, good, Superman good. I don't think I saw anything since then because Typewatt Tuesday was F1 and then Thursday today was Superman, yeah. Do you guys have anything for Tuesday? Well, Jack, you probably didn't. I'm working?
Speaker 2:Yeah, exactly that's what I. You probably didn't. I'm working, yeah, exactly what I'm doing too did you have anything because you were gonna watch.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you were gonna watch something and you were like, oh, drastic park you were, you were gonna watch that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I, you know that was on that was on the docket and then I didn't hear like one good thing about it and I was just like I'm good, like I'll wait until it comes out on digital like I mean yeah, you get what you expect.
Speaker 2:Right, it's a Jurassic Park movie. That's like being disappointed with going to a Fast and the Furious movie or a Liam Neeson movie. That's just like the last one I watched.
Speaker 3:Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2:What did you expect?
Speaker 1:We all know that Liam Neeson has a particular set of skills.
Speaker 2:Nobody's reinventing the wheel here.
Speaker 3:Nope, and not even trying to, and nor should they yeah, I mean, if it works, it works I think broke down exactly. Uh, without a doubt.
Speaker 2:So let's say we watched jurassic world last week and then um afterwards we went to go see. I got tickets for blue man group yeah, I remember that so that was pretty good did you get loved it.
Speaker 3:Jurassic or Blue man Blue.
Speaker 2:Man.
Speaker 3:Wait, that was their first time going.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no, we've never been.
Speaker 3:I thought you went a couple years ago.
Speaker 2:That was pretty good though.
Speaker 3:I highly recommend it.
Speaker 2:If you come to Vegas, you need to go to watch it.
Speaker 3:Nothing but good things. I can't remember which one of my friends saw it.
Speaker 1:Maybe we'll do that on the Saturday of football weekend. No, because we're going to go to the speakeasy probably. And then go drive go-karts while Jack sits on the side with everybody's purses and bags and shit.
Speaker 2:Somebody else was there with me and I got to hang out and list on her. She is definitely not going this time no that is not happening.
Speaker 3:Uh, on the bright side, if it does happen, we have a direct line of 9-1-1.
Speaker 4:So hey, that didn't happen last time so.
Speaker 1:So why'd they?
Speaker 2:call 911 last time.
Speaker 1:There's two people in the pod that she doesn't hate with a passion. Yeah, I'm talking about Jack and you. Oh, yeah, okay.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, yeah. You show your ding-a-ling one time, Duke, and that's what happens.
Speaker 1:I didn't think it was unsolicited. I thought show me what you're working with meant you would think right karaoke and she was singing mystical yeah and she just wanted a picture of me shaking my ass.
Speaker 3:It was weird well, we all the rest of us have one, so why shouldn't she have one, right, yeah? Fair sir oh my god. So are you ever gonna watch? Are you ever gonna watch ironheart dude?
Speaker 1:yeah yeah, yeah, my, my world I'm. I was actually looking at my calendar during my emergency and realized, oh, I actually have no plans until the 15th of August. I was very, very happy about that Holy shit. I was like damn Because Kondo's getting painted.
Speaker 2:He's getting all new furniture from Ikea.
Speaker 1:no shit like but I mean, I'm sure things will come up, but as far as stuff that I have on the calendar, up until this week I've had shit like every single weekend for like the last month and a half it's just been you did say that a few episodes ago.

Speaker 3:I think I don't know why I thought about, but I thought about you need to do this. Still recently and I was like, if I had to do that to clear my system, what would I do? Like, oh, over easy eggs. Because of my gallbladder issues, I can't do go over easy eggs that well. Or apple juice, apples, apple pie, you know stuff like that. I was like, oh, I know exactly what to clear my system. I have, you know, over easy eggs, and then with apple juice, and then for dessert and apple pie, I'm like, okay, that would clear my system.
Speaker 1:You still have to take the medicine anyways, lou, we need you to drink this giant jug and you're like no, I got this, I just picked this up from McDonald's.
Speaker 4:I just went to.
Speaker 3:McDonald's and Taco Bell. I'm good, Look, y'all save your chemicals.
Speaker 2:I don't need that need the the del inferno from uh del taco.
Speaker 3:yeah, oh man the freaking talk del tacos out here closed earlier this year, all of them except for one in grand junction, which is the western border. And uh, it was like, okay, they did say it might be temporarily, thing where they go to their bankruptcy, and blah, blah, blah, sure shit. Like two weeks ago they reopened and I'm like, oh, okay, next opportunity I get. And I had an opportunity yesterday, uh, when I was doing a work event. It was coming back and I went to bucky's instead, but I was too full, I was like bucky's yeah, yeah, but it was.
Speaker 2:I need you to pick me up a magnet from bucky's.
Speaker 1:Next time you go, I'm collecting magnets from all the different bucky's with the with the like, one of the ones with the funny slogan and then what?
Speaker 3:where it's at just send me a picture of one you have. That way, I know, to match. I don't need you to have to hunt down which one colorado has. But wait, would it be different?
Speaker 1:because there's I think, there's one northern colorado, and there's one in southern oh, so it actually has the city yeah yeah, yeah okay, so it's not a colorado one and the one that I'm looking for is one that says ain't no potty like a bucky's potty. That shit just makes me laugh every time I think about it.
Speaker 3:Those bathrooms are so awesome, though, right that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:That's why it's the best thing I did in the world for real.
Speaker 3:I walked in that. I didn't. I didn't have to go yesterday, but when I went last year and I walked in that bathroom it was like you've got to be kidding me, look at us, like Jesus. Angels were like aww. Sheriffs in the corner singing the whole thing. It was ridiculous what.
Speaker 1:I love about it. All they need is a bidet. I love the billboards more than anything in life. Like you're leaving one Buc-ee's and getting on the freeway and then the billboard says got to go again. 278 miles Got to go yet.
Speaker 2:Oh my God, the girls wanted to go when we were in Florida, but it was the opposite way from where we were. So we're like nope, not this time, not this time.
Speaker 3:Are there any in California on our path?

Speaker 1:Man you know how many times I've been.
Speaker 3:I've been at some. I would ask, ask how they were. That's all, because it was like, basically it was a six-pack and then there's individual, so it's buy five, get one free.
Speaker 2:The way it's priced out or something like that.
Speaker 3:So I was like, oh, I forgot to ask how they were, because that way I knew what to add it to the list or not. But yeah, the chocolate pie cups that are in like an icy cup, the banana pudding, the key lime pie. It was just like I was just shocked Because, again, I went there before, because I think I grabbed a shirt for Jack last year or the year before last, either way, and it was like, all right, this place is pretty happening. I mean, I forgot that it's a gas station. I was like, oh, I could have got gas when I was there.
Speaker 1:I totally forgot what the fuck dude like it's a gas station and you're like, ah, I bought all this stuff.
Speaker 2:But I totally did I was like less than a quarter of a take.
Speaker 3:I still had another like 30 miles to go. I was like, well, I guess I'll get gas at sam's club when I get into long box I get to see lou on his phone.
Speaker 1:like closest gas station, gas station.
Speaker 2:Zero miles. It says wait 500 feet.
Speaker 1:What the fuck.
Speaker 3:Where Not even it was like 48 feet. I don't see the Chevron. I was going to say the one.
Speaker 4:I parked, I was parked right next.
Speaker 3:I just got into my car, just no, they need that sign for me.
Speaker 4:Make a U-turn.
Speaker 3:I'm on my way leaving. I'm getting on the freeway and I'm like I don't know where to get gas. Oh, I know there's a Sam's Club in Longmont. I can make it there.
Speaker 1:I'm going to email them. Motherfuckers tonight and be like. My friend forgot that you were a gas station when he bought his fucking three-meat sandwich, Can you? Please put a billboard up that says hey Lou, turn around and get gas.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it was kind of funny because I thought I was going around the circle like, okay, I'll go to Longmont Sands Club. And then I get on the freeway. I look over to the right and there's all these gas pumps lined up against Buc-ee's, because I could see it on the right side as I get on the freeway. I'm like, oh yeah, I guess I could have did that. Not that I know what the price was, whether or not it's more expensive than, but the fact that I totally forgot that it was a gas station. The worst part is when I was explaining it to my niece, because after the event, like a group of us met up at Bucky's and I was explaining it to her. I'm like it's like a giant gas station, convenience store, walmart, all had a baby and she's like, okay, so I even included it in my description.
Speaker 1:I still forgot when I got there.
Speaker 4:To me it's wild that all that stuff is made in-house too.
Speaker 1:It's not like Kirkland, where it's just kind of outsourced from different things. All that shit's just made there or shipped from Bucky's.
Speaker 3:It's all Bucky's. Yeah, it's all Bucky's stuff. And they make the announcement when they open a pack of brisket. They're all yelling.
Speaker 1:Is that a normal thing, weirdos? I would yell if I opened up a packet of Bucky's brisket every time we were there long enough that we heard it like three or four times and you still didn't get fucking gas. You were there for them to open up four packages of brisket.
Speaker 3:I was in the store. I don't remember seeing a gas pump in the store. I saw that food, though that food definitely got in my eye. My first thing I did I went right to the Roosevelt's and they had five different ones there, so I went there first and then I went. Roman and Roman. Nothing good though, nah, the same stuff that they've had for a minute. Yeah, the black shirt just doesn't fit right for the Sith. Stuff with R2 in it, yeah.
Speaker 2:I had the same problem, wasn't it?
Speaker 3:Wait, which shirt is it? It's a.
Speaker 2:Mustafar. It's mostly a mustafar theme, so it has like anakin and obi-wan fighting, but then like r2's there and then sidious with his lightning is out there. It's a little pictures, right, so it's like kind of yeah, yeah, okay, it's not like it's a big print, it's a little like a, a wallpaper from like the 80s that my parents would have got us okay yeah, yeah, yeah, one of those, the, or, it's like weird random shit. Yeah, it's from the same movie, but it shouldn't I dropped.
Speaker 3:I dropped it in the group text, so you can see. Oh, all five, thank you. They had some wwe ones that you might because, I'm american, so the black, yeah, the the empire one, I didn't mind the poster one, except it's too busy. I mean it's like because obviously favorite movie, right, but but it was like, uh, could you space this out more, right?
Speaker 1:yeah, the trading card sorry, go ahead, jack, you were gonna talk.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the trading card one is okay, but like they're mixing like different movies in it, like that pad maze from episode two, I think that yoda's from, yoda's from three roosevelt, we're talking about you.
Speaker 3:Feel free to drop us a speech advert.
Speaker 1:I'll be happy with a 20% coupon.
Speaker 2:If we have been paying attention, earlier it was one of the founders' birthday. He posted a video thanking everybody happy birthday and all that shit. Then he dropped a 40% coupon in the video.
Speaker 3:Damn.
Speaker 2:It's good until 7 pm. I saw it like 701.
Speaker 3:Oh man, I might have actually picked up some uh ones I've been sitting on. It's like uh, maybe, maybe, maybe.
Speaker 1:There's a bunch of maybes yeah, I need to post some reviews, since I fucking wear these things all the. I mean this, mean, this isn't one right now?
Speaker 3:Yeah, you do. You don't have any codes right now.
Speaker 1:No, I just need to do reviews, I do. I mean, I think I have like 4,000 points, so I think I can get like 20 bucks off a shirt or 25 or something like that.
Speaker 3:Can you use your points and your discount?
Speaker 1:coupon no, oh cashed in a bunch of my points to get my Thing shirt, so I think I paid like $20 for it. Besides the Thing one, I was kind of unimpressed with the Fantastic.
Speaker 3:Four yeah, they were just okay. If I was more into Fantastic Four I would have grabbed that polo. That polo looked pretty badass. But I just don't care about Fantastic Four enough and it sold out too. Nah, that's not going to happen.
Speaker 1:No, it's not, because it's sold out, so he.
Speaker 3:Not even that, just like Pedro as Reed is not my Jam. The girl in the lead, sue Storm, she okay, but it's like she was a hottie. I might be more In a Fantastic Four, but she's not.
Speaker 2:She got somewhere like Jessica Alwood, a player or not, they should have got someone like Jessica Alba to play her. That would have been cool.
Speaker 1:They should have thought about that, maybe next time.
Speaker 3:Yeah, other than the whole. You know DDI Sue's white, blonde hair, get it right.
Speaker 2:So you didn't like when Michael D Jordan played Johnny either, then, so Sue is blonde and white.
Speaker 3:That's my point. Blonde and white. Jessica Alba is not, although I did like the guy who played Reed in those first two movies. I thought he was fine. He seemed to fit the role to me, but yeah, no, no no, no.
Speaker 2:Pedro has to be in everything now, for real.
Speaker 3:As much hate is that Michael B Jordan Fantastic Four got. I actually didn't mind that movie.
Speaker 2:I didn't watch it. I ain't watched it yet.
Speaker 3:Yeah, don't be wrong, I pulled a loo.
Speaker 2:I'm like no Chinese.
Speaker 3:Star isn't black. Chinese Star is not black.
Speaker 2:You know, adopt the motherfucking. And that was before he was Michael B Jordan. I was like nope.
Speaker 3:Mm-hmm, but don't be wrong it was not a good movie. I'm not going to support this movie. It was not a good movie but I didn't mind it. Everybody's like, oh my god, this is Battlefield Earth. I'm like, no, it is not Battlefield Earth, it's on all different things.
Speaker 2:But they could have done way better with that, obviously.
Speaker 3:So I guess I don't know we'll find out in fucking 10 days, Two weeks, yeah, no, 11 days. 24th man, I can't believe it like.
Speaker 4:I'm on the road.
Speaker 3:I'm on the road to Cannes in 9 days.
Speaker 1:Less than 9 days, jesus, yeah, I have to find more than the 4 things that I want you guys to pick up for me.
Speaker 2:No, no, you don't my shopping list isn't even that long. Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 1:Well, and again, it's really one thing. And like, hey, if you happen to be in that area, like if you happen to go to UCC and you pick up a blind box thing for yourself, I'll take one. Sure, you want a little boo-boo? I got you.
Speaker 2:No, no, no.
Speaker 1:A blind box of what the animation cells?
Speaker 3:Oh, oh, those, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:For 25 bucks, Like I mean, you're not going to lose. You might not get what you want, but they're not bad. Like none of them are bad, there's just some of them that are better. I would want more than others, but whatever it is, it's fine.
Speaker 3:You know, I actually have 20 something things on my list. But the 20 something things are like, oh, this is kind of cool or this is kind of cool. Like I'm looking at my list, I'm like that Vader Luke thing from Moose Toys, that little, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's on my list. And then those stickers that Duke Wanted that booth, that's on my list twice for the stickers. And then there's like a bluey keychain and obviously not. This list Isn't all just for me. It's like, oh, girl's gonna want some of these.
Speaker 1:You know what's not on Lou's list Thundercats group, pen, snarf.
Speaker 3:Snarf, snarf, snarf. How are they going to leave that?
Speaker 1:Snarf needs to be the fucking chase when they say complete set.
Speaker 3:I'm like no.
Speaker 1:Tell me you don't make Snarf the chase on that shit.
Speaker 3:I mean, if they're a blind box yes, If they're a blind box.
Speaker 1:But that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3:How do you not?
Speaker 1:You don't even have Jaga, I mean, come on, I thought Jaga was on there. I thought he's in the back.
Speaker 3:No, I only saw the main six. Yeah, because Wily Kit Chitara.
Speaker 1:Panthro, lion-o, wily Kit, wily Cat and Tigra, Tigra and Panthro seven. No, you said panthro six.
Speaker 3:no, it's only six yeah, you said, you said tiger panthro lionel, the kittens and chitara yeah it's the main. But he's not. He's not the bad, I thought I saw my bad.
Speaker 1:I thought I saw him in the.
Speaker 3:I mean they could use that for advertising for the picture, but for the actual pins it's just. Yeah, I am limited to 350.
Speaker 2:You need to buy it anyways. Fuck you probably, yeah, but if you don't, then you know what you basically aborted snarf. I am limited to $3.50. You need to buy it anyways.
Speaker 3:Fuck you Probably yeah.
Speaker 2:If you don't, then you know what you basically aborted snarf If I'm not supporting it, Alright fine.
Speaker 1:That makes you a goddamn liberal. That makes you a liberal Lou. I'll add it to my list. God damn it, you guys. Yes, it does.
Speaker 2:You're aborting. Snarf, you're aborting snarf.
Speaker 1:You're snorting snarf. You're snorting snarf. You're snorting abortions. Wait what.
Speaker 2:I'll add the Now.
Speaker 3:I am a liberal if I'm doing that. Yeah, so add that to your list.
Speaker 1:I was going to make a really bad Superman joke there, but I decided not to.
Speaker 3:The sadness looked kind of cool.
Speaker 2:It does. I think it's supposed to be glittery or some shit. Yeah, it's a glittery one.
Speaker 3:I think it's supposed to be glittery or some shit yeah it's a glittery one, although, like I was saying, I'm going down my list right now the Hasbro Skyfire. I didn't see it on the list anymore. Did they remove that or something that's interesting?
Speaker 1:Yeah, like I said I wonder if something happened in customs or something, because I remember we talked about that, because both of us were like, oh, that's fucking cool as shit.
Speaker 3:Yeah, shit, like yeah, yeah, so I don't know. I mean it's kind of early for customs that unless they know for sure, it's not going to clear by the 23rd. Right then I got some poster I don't remember which ones. I got some posters from lucas civilian. Oh, I, I think I put that this again stuff that was interesting, not to say I'm gonna buy those uh tiki glasses.
Speaker 1:There's the the droids one yeah, that one talks my language, yep that was on my list from that's. Let's say yeah.
Speaker 3:I remember that was on your list, and then the ATST with chewy tiki cup.
Speaker 1:I, I was okay, I, I'm okay on that one. I don't know To me some of the bigger, more complicated tikis. I would use that one. You're down with the JYK all day one. That was the one we talked about, right, lou? He has a sticker with he has the Soundwave sticker.
Speaker 3:That's on my list.
Speaker 1:And the print, of course.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I was going to say the print I pre-ordered. I think that's the same booth, jack. Is that the booth where you linked?
Speaker 2:yeah, I pre-ordered that one yeah, I sent it to you when it went up for pre-order yep, yep, and I did it.
Speaker 3:Matter of fact, I did it late, where there was like seven left, I'm like, oh shit, let me do this right now.
Speaker 2:I pre-ordered a wicked print from my wife. It has foil on it, so you know she's all over that. Is that still available? I'll find it for you. Hold on, okay, cool.
Speaker 3:She wanted the Chris Mays Wild Robot print that one. Obviously all the Symbiote plushies for Transformers for me. Oh yeah, monogram had a Grogu lanyard. It looks like.
Speaker 1:Yeah, monogram. Monogram has a couple, that's on your list too.
Speaker 2:Monogram had a Grogu lanyard it looks like.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Monogram has a couple there's that.
Speaker 3:That's on your list too. There's a.
Speaker 2:Fallout, one that I want to get for big one.
Speaker 3:Oh, I was going to say I put that on my list too, because I was like there's a Fallout one. I don't know if you saw that. Okay, you did.
Speaker 1:There's some trading. Go ahead, the Gamora Nebula 2 pack. It's like the neon color, it's the seven, the seven bucks a pop.
Speaker 3:It's autographed. Yeah, okay, I think I saw that. That sounds familiar. Let's see. Oh, kota Bakaya is going to have some.
Speaker 2:Trading cards or some shit right.
Speaker 3:Yeah, they're like maybe freebies, but there's three different ones, so that's on my list for the Kota Bakai Thrill Joy. I might jump into Thrill Joy just as an investment, because I think that's going to push Funko out of the picture. I may as well jump in while I can. I mean, it's a bet.
Speaker 1:But all that stuff is always a bet, you know.
Speaker 3:Well, of course, that's what I'm saying. If it works out, great. If not great, I'm only going to get a handful of them. So again, right there, the start of this thing. And if it goes well, I'm in the beginning. If it doesn't, then I'm not going to lose money off of a Comic-Con exclusive. That's true. And then Keepscape Cards had the Invincible set, so that was kind of cool. Then obviously BB Create and their pins.
Speaker 3:I'll debate, if I do the full set again, but the Godzilla one again. I saw that one in Denver and I knew about the Porg one, lil's Cat. They told me about that when I was talking to the guy. Lil's cat, they told me about that when I was talking to the guy. And then there's that, oh, the stitch With the porgs around him. That's on the list for sure, and obviously Figpin. And then tomorrow or Thursday Somebody has the SDCC. You can pre-order the Jurassic Park cards, cryptozoic, they have a bunch of stuff that looks like goes up tomorrow.
Speaker 1:It's tomorrow at 10.
Speaker 3:I think tomorrow is just a one thing and then Thursday is everything else, like those gold and black statues that are $200 a piece. Those are Thursday, I think, and I think maybe Batgirl and Jurassic Park is tomorrow. Either way, that's kind of on my list too. I'll debate about it, but we'll see, we'll see. Oh, I remember seeing this, jack. You just texted over the Wicked print. Yeah, okay, I saw that. I thought you said Wicked like Ewok.
Speaker 2:Oh, no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 3:I was like she might want that one. But I was like, oh shit, she might want this one too. I'm still going to send it. Actually, she's on the blog, so she knows.
Speaker 1:If you guys happen to do yesterday's, I would be down with the Rick Grahams and Negan pins.
Speaker 3:I was going to say that might be the oldest. If there's anything there Fallout.
Speaker 2:I have not seen anything. They are very slim on Fallout this year. Well, I guess they're waiting until next year, after the second season Right Blog was talking about Prime hasn't put any other stuff on the Comic-Con schedule, like Gen V popped up for a second and then disappeared, but there are no Prime video panels or anything?
Speaker 1:Well no, there's. And then disappeared. But there are no Prime video panels or anything. Well no, there's empty spots.
Speaker 2:There's empty spots on the schedule and I guess maybe Prime's figuring out when to put what where.
Speaker 3:Okay, so they're Prime spots, but they don't know what specifically.
Speaker 2:Yeah it seems like that, but this close to the con with the schedule out and everything, it's kind of weird.
Speaker 3:I was thinking the same thing. And don't they usually sponsor something? Yeah, lanyard, or whatever Something Bag, no, wb. Oh, is it still WB doing the bags? I don't remember.
Speaker 1:I think so. Yeah, I thought they had a couple different sponsors for the bags.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's usually just one and they just mix it between their uh ips. Yeah, I, I'm almost certain I can't.
Speaker 2:I'm trying to remember what last year's was, but I thought it was wp, but you know I haven't seen any um exclusives from twink I, I thought I did.
Speaker 3:I thought I saw them pop up, uh, last week not 100% sure about that, but I, I thought I had to do this, go to the blog and search, but yeah, so this is such a boring pod.
Speaker 1:Hey, let me do a search for this.
Speaker 3:Right. But, jack, you're not wrong, though, in the sense of there's not a whole lot to get, there's not? I put 20 things on my list and not all of those. Those are just things I thought were cool.
Speaker 2:Right, it's like when you do your schedule. I want to watch all these panels. Let's see what happens.
Speaker 3:Yeah, exactly. The only thing I know like really for sure that I am getting are the Symbiote plushies.
Speaker 2:I was like that is 100%. Twink has a Crypto plushie keychain that might be its thing.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I was going to say I thought I saw Twink was out there. Here's where Jack's expertise comes in and he starts flashing up different images of all the stuff we're talking about, these exclusives, right oh no, they're gonna. They have a nadia doll plush no, oh yeah, I saw that too, man. What we do in the shadows, are you guys all caught up with that?
Speaker 2:you guys can watch yeah, I got to like half of the first season I was watching the oldest and then she gave up on it. I just never got back to it.
Speaker 3:I finally finished earlier this year. I was behind the last season.
Speaker 1:I want to say, January Toy Inc has a ton of Tiki's and shit too. They don't have a lot of pins like they usually have, though that's weird. It's all toys and plushes they have some. They have a Sonic 3. They have a crypto keychain. No, just the Sonic pin. All the rest of them are it usually does.
Speaker 2:I'm like oh, this is boring Comic-Con shit, Nobody cares about it.
Speaker 3:Until after Comic-Con, Then they'll carry on. I'm like, what did you guys do at Comic-Con? Not a whole lot going on, though it's like not least I mean there's no football. No, not until end of the month Hall of Fame game.
Speaker 2:No movies till Fantastic Four.
Speaker 3:I mean, well, you got the Smurfs movie this week. What are you talking?
Speaker 2:about.
Speaker 3:You know what, when we left.
Speaker 2:Superman. Everybody's like why don't you have tickets for that? Yet I'm like I don't know if I want to see it. Shit, I definitely don't.
Speaker 3:Smurfette does not sound like Smurfette.
Speaker 2:I don't like that either.
Speaker 3:Sorry, Papa Smurf. Is Dan Goodman Like really? I mean, that's not horrible. It doesn't sound like Papa Smurf, though I want the cartoon voices from the 80s. They're probably dead, Brian, I know they are, but somebody that sounds similar to would be good enough Between all the Star Wars people. We know they could do it. They could get those voices right. Where are you, Matt Wood? That's right.
Speaker 1:Where are you, James Taylor?
Speaker 3:Arnold Taylor Yup For real Lantern.
Speaker 1:Come on guys.
Speaker 3:Step into the smurf. Taylor James, arnold, taylor For real. It's like Lanter, come on, guys, step into the Smurfs. But yeah, it's just like. So, yeah, something else is coming out, like a horror movie, I think, coming out on the 18th too, or something. It was like your choices are Smurfs or this other one. Neither one of them are like I guess I have what we call. I know what you did last summer. Yeah, there it is, which was a stupid-ass title. God, that's so dumb.
Speaker 2:Look, that movie came out a million years ago. Kids these days don't even know about it.
Speaker 3:Well, you have to know about it because they've got, they're bringing back freaking Jennifer Love, huge Tits and freaking Freddie Prinze. Come on now.
Speaker 2:But if it's just like, oh, you've been through this before without knowing that it was a movie, it's like, oh, we're hooking up with these old people, it's like fucking it or something, it happens every 20 years.
Speaker 3:That shit's on the internet, man, these kids with their social media. They would absolutely know there was an original and that they used the same-ass title instead of something different, like they should have.
Speaker 2:Actually as somebody that works with a bunch of kids. No, they don't.
Speaker 3:Really they don't keep up with that on social media. You figure, if you want to watch this movie, everything's going to hashtag, oh wow.
Speaker 2:They don't know nothing, dude. So these kids just stay stupid though Willful ignorance. Unless somebody puts it on tiktok. Uh, if they're on tiktok, they don't know about it don't have the.
Speaker 3:Don't be wrong. Stuff I've seen on tiktok has been entertaining, like if it's on facebook, you know somebody copied something or whatever. Or uh, twitter, and no, I'm not calling it next. Uh, that's fine and all, but not for me. Not, I did not download it. Don Don't have the app. Not going to have the app, still waiting for it to be banned, whatever.
Speaker 2:No, the president has friends with them now.
Speaker 3:Let's say Duke over there, froze.
Speaker 4:He's like social media.
Speaker 3:I'm out. I can't believe you got rid of yours for no reason. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Time out. Okay, no, never mind, mind, I get it now. I'm like and how'd you get spoilers of superman if you don't have social media? But I forgot it was youtube, yeah youtube is basically social media yeah, youtube was social media, though you have that one.
Speaker 1:You're a hypocrite yep, yeah, you exposed me, though I'm a hypocrite if there were, you know if there was another avenue. If there was another avenue for me to watch videos without there being YouTube, I would totally be doing that, but there's nobody. Everybody who TikTok, tiktok. That's social media, twitter.
Speaker 3:Twitter. So is YouTube. You said other than YouTube. We're giving you options that are also social media.
Speaker 1:No, I was saying non-social media. If there were video sites that weren't just dumb kids doing dumb dances.
Speaker 3:Get him a fan so he can get on his next cruise.
Speaker 1:Influencer this is why Jack's going to become a big deal and we're just going to get left in the dust. That kind of reminds me, I'm the.
Speaker 3:Beyonce of this bitch. Oh man, Okay, Smurfette.

Speaker 1:I do not know what Comic-Con is. Superman, the new Superman knows what Comic-Con is.
Speaker 3:How do you not Exactly who doesn't want Pink Floyd?
Speaker 1:I guess. I mean, we haven't talked about this, but I guess it's kind of cool that George Lucas is finally going to Comic-Con.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, I didn't read the panel. I saw he was going. I was like I saw him in India.
Speaker 1:I don't care it's for the museum.
Speaker 3:Oh, okay.
Speaker 2:Guillermo del Toro is going to be with him.
Speaker 3:It'll be good.
Speaker 2:It'll be the first time anybody fights to get into Hall H on a Sunday.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I was going to say I saw that there was like okay, hall H Sunday back, and then obviously George Lucas in the panel. I was like, okay, cool Again. I stopped at George Lucas and was like, oh, cool, but been there, done that, although not obviously something different, didn't care too much. If it's something to do, great, if it's not, great.
Speaker 1:Is there a Star Wars panel this year?
Speaker 3:It's like a publication.
Speaker 1:Is it?
Speaker 4:not Friday. Friday Star Wars anymore.
Speaker 1:Are they not talking about Mando and Grogu?
Speaker 3:That's a good question oh wow. There's no panel for that. You figured new footage. It's been a couple months later.
Speaker 1:Three months later. It's going to come out before next celebration, so you'd think they would have something Is it out before next con. Yes.
Speaker 3:I think it comes out in May.
Speaker 4:Yeah, okay, well, is it out?
Speaker 3:before next con. Yes, I think it comes out in May, okay, well then, yeah, they probably should have did something this year. That's odd that they're not doing that Because there's no D23 next year. Right, so you're after.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't think so.
Speaker 1:So is 2026 a void year for Disney, then, because there's no celebration and no D23, there'll be something.
Speaker 3:They'll have Doomsday For next Comic Con Because it comes out December, because there's no Celebration and no D23?. There'll be something, because they'll have Doomsday for next Comic-Con because it comes out.
Speaker 1:December. No, no, no. But I'm saying for Disney there's no D23 or Celebration next year, Correct? So there's nothing next year for Disney. Disney's not hosting an event for 2026.
Speaker 3:That's what I thought Because wasn't D23 this year?
Speaker 2:I don't know. Let's find out.
Speaker 3:Okay, because I know obviously.
Speaker 1:Celebration is 27. We are the most prepared podcast. Yeah, we are Ever Ever.
Speaker 3:After it gets edited it'll be 57 minutes, so it's fine.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's fine. There'll be one time when Jack has to rearrange stuff to make us actually sound smart. It's going to be Cut out all the.
Speaker 3:Let me look this up it's like no, we're just going to yeah, it's this Right, nothing next year. Wow, I don't see anything.
Speaker 2:I'm looking, I'm looking Crazy.
Speaker 1:I mean, maybe they're just saving to fucking unload both barrels for 2027.
Speaker 3:Yes, they could.
Speaker 1:They have the new land that they're going to be building, so that'll be. That won't be done next year. Which part? Magic Kingdom and Disney World?
Speaker 4:Disney World they're getting rid of the Villains Land is opening Anything new at.
Speaker 2:Anaheim yeah, they're building Avatar.
Speaker 3:Where was it when the Monsters Inc ride?

Speaker 3:then Yeahers Inc ride is In DCA. Are they removing that thing? Oh wait, I like that ride Right. I was like wait, I was like that sucks. I kind of enjoyed that one.
Speaker 1:But whatever. Also Muppet Vision right, isn't that going away?
Speaker 2:That's going away because of Florida and that left Shit like two days before we were there. I was so mad.
Speaker 1:And that's being replaced by uh Monsters. Inc Land.
Speaker 3:Okay moving from Anaheim over there. Yeah, pretty much Basically, um, and then, yeah, I'll admit the schedule's out, uh, all four or five days. And for Comic-Con I have not looked at it yet Uh, what I've, it's okay. I've only noticed what's on Twitter. Like the legal geeks I know they're there Thursday for Jurassic Park and Friday for Daredevil, and Friday will be an iffy, we'll see how that plays out. Yeah, but Thursday I'll definitely do on that panel.
Speaker 3:And again, I looked at it on their website. It's just Twitter popped it up because I follow legal geeks. Like at it on their website. It was just Twitter popped it up because I follow legal geeks. Like, oh, cool, sweet, I'm going to that at 6 o'clock on Thursday and then get out at 7 and then head to the theater for Fantastic Four. But yeah, I mean I try to do the early look at the panel thing. It's like why bother, I'll have plenty to do while I'm in line or whatever, waiting down Wednesday night, when we're sitting down waiting to get in for preview night and stuff like that, I'll look at it. Then If something stands out great, I'll add it to my list. I really like that insert the grid.
Speaker 3:Yeah, the grid is where it's at. I get my Sharpie circle, everything. I just know better. Why bother? I know what I'm going to do, just know what I'm going to do, so just stop pretending. I'm going to look at the schedule. Then I'll have the app and I'll add everything to the app. Hopefully it's working. I haven't even looked at the. I think we have until Thursday to do our lottery stuff. I'll do that probably Tuesday.
Speaker 2:If they don't have an exclusive Labooboo, then why would I put everything in for PopMart? I don't have an exclusive Labubu, then why would I put everything in for PopMart. I don't know, but it's weird. They haven't said anything yet. They don't have an exclusive Labubu. They haven't said one way or the other, but PopMart has a booth.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:And it's in the lottery.
Speaker 1:And they're in the raffle, so they must have something big planned.
Speaker 3:But it may not be Labubu.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because they do all kinds of other stuff, okay. Okay, I don't know In that case just do UCC and buy those Labubus.
Speaker 3:Oh, I didn't realize there was Labubus there. I thought it was just those three-something and Rolljoys. Yeah, they're supposed to have all three or four sets of Labubus.
Speaker 3:Well, you can always use the extra pass for all labubu or pop mart or all ucc that. I was talking to a girl about that too. It was like she's like no, nothing kind of stands out. I'm like, well, we can just do the ucc thing or just help uh, oldest one out. Uh, I was like all right. Well, I was like let's, let's look at it tuesday. She's like all right, sounds good, because then she's back to her place after that. So it's like okay, so tuesday we'll look at it and we'll do mine, we'll do hers and we'll do the extra one. All of it on Tuesday night.
Speaker 1:I'm looking at reactions to the Superman movie and somebody said I will forgive the guy bellowing at the screen throughout the movie tonight. I will forgive him for just about anything, because the first thing he said in reaction to Superman's first entrance, which is very dramatic and is followed by a hush of silence oh shit, it's Superman. What movie did you think you were in, bro?
Speaker 2:We've already seen that scene like a million times since last year.
Speaker 3:Right, it's been in every trailer.
Speaker 1:I thought we were at the Smurfs. God damn it.
Speaker 3:I was right, real loud, stand up. That ain't Papa Smurf, I'm out.
Speaker 1:Flip your popcorn over.
Speaker 2:He's wearing blue and red, so it was hard to tell at first.
Speaker 3:Exactly Could have been Papa Smurf, he just didn't have a beard. I saw a trailer that the thing had a beard my man's grown a rock beard.
Speaker 2:How do you have a rock beard? It's been in the comics, though when that first came out people were talking about it, so it is a legit thing.
Speaker 3:I hope they explain it, because I'm not going to explain hot girl screaming, but maybe I'll get and also they said that ben only ages one day for every year he's alive, good lord, yeah, was that in the comics too
Speaker 4:yeah three.
Speaker 3:Oh, good lord, okay, 365 years to get one year yeah, I want to want to know Superman. How does he age? Because that Kingdom Come comic where he's older, how many thousands of years in the future is that? Because I thought he aged super slowly. Yeah, no pun intended, super slowly. I'll look that up too.
Speaker 2:Super slowly Did you lose your lighting.
Speaker 3:Dude what happened he turned his arm off.
Speaker 1:Smile at him, Lou. Sorry, I'm on a screen that I've darkened.
Speaker 3:No, it's not a big deal.
Speaker 1:I stand corrected. Twisted Metal actually comes out the end of July.
Speaker 3:Oh, even sooner. Twisted Metal, July 31st. I was looking to see what.
Speaker 1:TV was coming out. Strange New Worlds premieres this week, so that's exciting 17th, I think.
Speaker 3:Do they do one at a time or do they drop them all?
Speaker 1:The first one looks like there's going to be two for the first week and then after that it'll be one.
Speaker 3:It's weekly. Okay, I'll wait until August and watch it in September. That shit's done. Oh damn it. There was a trailer. The Ryan Reynolds trailer looked good again. There was another trailer I saw today. I was like, oh, was that on our list? I don't think it was. Remember what trailers you got, jack.
Speaker 2:We had Hail.
Speaker 3:Mary, you think that was new. Yeah, hail, mary was the Ryan Reynolds Ryan Gosling.
Speaker 2:Wow, I haven't seen a Ryan Reynolds movie coming out.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I was like it's Ryan. I don't want to sound stupid, though Ryan's adorable.
Speaker 1:Wait a second, I've not heard of a new Ryan Reynolds movie, but okay, star.
Speaker 3:Wars. Oh, that's Ryan Gosling. That would be awesome. No, I don't. I'm trying to think the Hail Mary one looked pretty good, the one that looks good. I had a different trailer for Odyssey. The Leo.
Speaker 2:Caprio.
Speaker 3:Oh really.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no, ours was different. It actually showed more stuff than just Spider-Man talking to Punisher.
Speaker 3:Okay, yeah, I had not seen that yet. Even today. They did not show that today. I mean, it's not until next summer, so I don't care that much it's not a big deal. Something comes out. Maybe it's Hail Mary. Something comes out next March. I had a trailer for something that comes out next March. I was like, oh, that looks good too. I'm like why are you showing me this now? I don't care about this now. It comes out in March.
Speaker 1:According to Fandango, the Batman 2 is supposed to come out in October, but I've not heard shit at all about it.
Speaker 2:He just turned in the script to Gunn like last week.
Speaker 3:I was going to say it was like a week or two ago. The script.
Speaker 1:Yeah, okay, all right, then maybe they just have whatever. I mean, I guess they just have whatever. The last kind of announced date was and they haven't announced a new date. They're just leaving it until they do.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I heard the Rey movie's dead, though. Again For now, again. I mean, it's just like Blade we're going to announce this five years ago and then do nothing with it.
Speaker 1:I honestly don't know if they know what to do with Star Wars after Mando and Grogu, though, and Starfighter.
Speaker 3:Yeah, they're supposed to do with Star Wars after Mando and Grogu, though and Starfighter yeah, they're supposed to do the Dawn of the Jedi. That's true. Yeah, that was already in the works.
Speaker 1:Until the production closes on it, I don't buy any of it, right.
Speaker 3:Well, your point was you don't know what they're supposed to be doing. Well, that's what they're supposed to be doing, but not until, like, rian Johnson's done with some other shit. So they're not supposed to be moving towards that, because he's working on his finishing his Knives Out thing and then they'll go back and start with pre-production, getting the story and all that for that trilogy for the Dawn of the Jedi. But that's yeah, that's the latest thing I heard, and the one everybody wants is Knights of the Old Republic.
Speaker 2:But there's been no talk about that. It's already been done.
Speaker 3:Basically just play the video game, Call it a day.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and go play the Old Republic right now.
Speaker 2:It's not going to be exactly like the video game and people will be mad like Lou. Or it will be exactly like the video game and people will be mad like Lou, because he knew everything that was going to happen.
Speaker 3:No, lou's okay with that, why can't we get a Lou saw whatever that was shot for how to Train your Dragon and Lou liked that because it was how it was supposed to be.
Speaker 4:Like Legos.
Speaker 3:Legos are supposed to be like they look on the box.
Speaker 1:He needed to do a Dark Forces game or movie.
Speaker 3:Oh, that'd be kind of cool. Canon-wise, he couldn't do it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because Kyle's not getting the Death Star plans this time.
Speaker 1:Which means Lou wouldn't like it.
Speaker 3:Probably not. I do wish they would do animation though, just Star Wars Legends, and go all the novels and shit they did. That's not canon, it would be absolutely on purpose a non-canon situation and they go back in all the novels and they just go back and just animate them, not not only all of them, but at least a lot of them. So that would be kind of cool, including shadows, the empire, you know.
Speaker 2:so that's where I would start, because that one can mostly still be canon.
Speaker 3:They could do a lot of, they could do a lot of it. Still a lot of it could still work.
Speaker 2:Actually, in the comics they had War of the Bounty Hunters and Boba got jacked for Han and then the Crimson Dawn came in and they were trying to auction him off and Kira invited all these people like Vader was there to buy Han Solo back and shit.
Speaker 3:It was crazy, vader just wouldn't take him he tried, but Kira used her terracotta on him. Buy Han Solo back and shit, it was crazy.
Speaker 2:Jeez Vader just wouldn't take him. He tried, but Kira used her Terracossing on him and fought him in front of everybody. It was weird, okay.
Speaker 3:That's different. I'd be okay with that, though That'd be fine, that story Roll with it. I mean, obviously we've got the what is it? The Darth Maul story coming out, mm-hmm. Is that this year or next year Next? I think, Is it next year? Okay, but, you saw the panels on the playback. I did not. They actually did not show that panel Really. Uh-uh Wow. I mean, I understand don't show the footage if there had any but not even show the panel. Nope, they didn't show the panel at all. That seems a bit ridiculous, yeah.
Speaker 2:Whatever Assholes Right Hating.
Speaker 3:For real. But yeah, I think that's and I think all these things. What is it? Taika Waititi? Star Wars shelves. Somebody else shelves, everything shelves. Oh my God, shelf it all. Alright, fine, whatever, we'll get what we get when we get it. That's kind of all there is to it. And then, although the whole, we're going to reboot Indiana Jones With Pedro Pascal. Probably National Treasure. 3.
Speaker 2:Finally, greenlit that they're going to steal the Epstein list.
Speaker 3:Shit. They need to Goddamn that whole story. I don't get, Honestly, I do get it. It's real simple to me. It'll damage the left and the right, so both agree not to do anything with it. Sounds familiar. So that was this week. Next week is.
Speaker 2:You didn't go in the water and you were just hanging out with the kids and keeping everybody's bags safe from the black people.
Speaker 3:Exactly Because there was black people in front of me, so I had to be careful.
Speaker 1:Yeah. I remember that episode, the only person in the park that was worried about black people Is the black person Basically.
Speaker 3:Well, yeah, the next week is the symphony and then obviously week after that is SDCC. But quiet It'll be. Basically work this week. Work on Monday Get the car on 730 Tuesday morning. Be on the road by 8 o'clock Tuesday morning. Be in Vegas by 8 o'clock Tuesday night. Chill until 0 to 30, probably try to get up at like 6, 7, because I'll be an hour off. So I'll naturally get up around 6, 7 and try to be in San Diego by the usual 3 o'clock the latest.
Speaker 1:So we may go two weeks without a pod is what I'm hearing.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, san Diego. I can't imagine we're doing a pod coming back from San Diego. We might, we might. We might come back and not tire.
Speaker 1:Just saying I was halfway around the world and still did the pod. Just saying I was halfway around the world, still did the pod. Just saying you guys are fucking changing time zones yeah, but you also have an opportunity to do it.
Speaker 3:What if we're not back till later? Like what if we stick around, stay late for the last panels and we don't make it back home until 10 o'clock at night? I gotta drive the next morning back to Colorado. I'm not trying to stay up too late, so we'll see how it goes. Oh, we could do it in the car.
Speaker 1:Exactly that stay up too late, so we'll see how it goes.
Speaker 4:Oh, we could do it in the car, exactly, that'd be fun. Do it on the drive back, that would be kind of cool.
Speaker 1:MobilePod. Hey, we're in your car listening to us in our car.
Speaker 3:Oh man, that would be kind of cool actually, if timing works out. I'm not opposed to it, because the other side of that coin is what if we leave early on Sunday and then we're back and it's like oh dude, we're, let's just do this, we're here, it's four o'clock in the afternoon, that's not realistic, four o'clock, I'm just saying. Point is early, could still work, yep we'll see we'll see what happens.
Speaker 3:All right, we'll catch you guys in a couple weeks on here then all right, sounds like a plan I'm gonna go, you do all right later guys.
