Speaker A:I ain't taking what's going on now, everybody.
Speaker E:How you doing, my dear? Oh, them. Them allergies are kicking in on you, aren't they?
Speaker A:I think I. I think I might have attacked my pollen issue.
Speaker E:How so?
Speaker A:A netty pot when I caught a cold that clear. It cleared me out, man. It. I haven't had no problems since then.
Speaker E:I am grateful that I do not have allergies, but I tell you, I feel for everybody who does. So it's like getting mugged every day. I am so sorry.
Speaker A:No to far Isaiah is Brandy screaming. I already had your baby to eight on camera.
It's not on this since Tafari doesn't know because, I mean, he knows about Candy being a previous host on the show, but when it was me, Candy and dc. Oh, anything. And it was com. It was chaos. It was good chaos, but it was chaos. So, yeah, anything was thrown out. So yeah, yeah.
Even Lizzie's saying it's like pollen season is not. It's Almost. Yeah.
Speaker E:I drive a white car. Let me tell you, when I leave my apartment and my car is yellow, including the windshield, that is.
No, See, you want to punch something, but you can't because they're really tiny, and they're everywhere. You know, it's like.
Speaker A:I think. I think part of the reason why it hasn't affected me up here as much is because we've gotten a lot of rain.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker A:Like, today's nice. Like, today is, like, 63. Yeah. So it was just like. But it's rained so much that it. It can't do anything. It can't flow anywhere. It was just like.
I guess we're gonna sit here for a while.
Speaker E:I mean, it could, but it'd be hilarious, though.
Speaker A:It's like, oh, look, this is one.
Speaker C:Of the many times I am glad that I do not have allergies, but the wife and the kids have it, so it's just like today was just nothing but clarity getting passed around. Like, passed around like a prison joint. Just Claridin for the wife, Clarion for the kids.
Speaker A:Just. Yeah. One thing about just the Blur, the certain individuals in the Blur community, we. We don't bite. We don't bite. Like, many people know Navy.
A lot of people know us. So it was just like, you know, like, man, we. I'm like, look, man, I'm. I'm. I'm working just like you are.
Speaker E:Nine to five.
Speaker C:I'm gonna say we have. We have not made it to the. To the. This is our. This is our only way of income level. We would love to be there. Facts.
Speaker A:So, yeah. But shout out to Candy B. If. If you are in the Cleveland area, you got kicks and comics going down this weekend at the B side lounge from 6 to 9.
I will be there. So.
Speaker E:Dang, I wish I could.
Speaker A:Come on, girl. You know, go down there and the gang hang out and cut up and do what we normally do.
Speaker E:I wish I could come up there for real.
Speaker A:Oh, damn. It's the taco spot next door. And I don't even know how that's playing out because of a certain jackass.
Speaker E:You mean a rampant cheeto?
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:F47.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:I just love saying that because I could cuss them out, and it's completely acceptable at the same time.
Speaker A:So I will, like. I, like, like many of the people that watch the show, know we are not political. However, we are rebels. We do not believe in.
In being held down, and we will call people out on their.
Speaker E:That part.
Speaker A:Necessary.
Speaker E:That part.
Speaker A:And. And. And when I say I am proud of people in institutions like Harvard, in certain governors saying, no, we're not doing.
Speaker C:That thank you places though.
Speaker A:Yeah. Harvard said, Harvard said, we are not folding. They said, well, I bet we won't. And it was like.
Speaker C: t was not on my bingo list of: Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker E:And I was talking to a friend of mine about that when he mentioned it, I said, you realize at the core he's an idiot, but the people behind them aren't. And they're using him as their weapon to target certain institutions and certain people and everything.
Like, don't, don't have regrets now because you, you cast your vote for the dumb white dude instead of the intelligent black woman. Eat it. Okay. Just eat it.
Speaker A:I've never seen.
Speaker C:Reach the found out part for real.
Speaker A:So the portion of the crew is here. I think we can, we can. Where we at? We're not cheating. We're about 15 minutes. It's too early anyway. How's everybody's week been?
Other than Spartan and his tech issues?
Speaker C:It's just a scammer. This, this camera, this camera will get a full on burial once the new one shows up. I promise you that. This weekend.
Speaker E:Okay.
Speaker A:I'm waiting anticipation to go see Centers tomorrow night. So. Oh yeah, that'll be me. I am, I'm about to.
You know, it feels good to go see a movie that I have been really been waiting on for the past two years since its announcement. And the hype that's around it, that's the, the positive feedback that this is getting.
Like, thank God this is the type of content that's going to be on Blur Station. That's B L E R D not B L U R D. It's B L E R D Station.
Speaker E:It's. It blows my mind. Centers is an example of just sitting back, letting the process happen. Let it do what it needs to do.
We aren't rushing because you're hungry for it. You'll get it when you get it. It was released and everybody's losing their mind. Ryan Coogler is not half ass.
Speaker A:No. God, no.
Speaker C:This man. This man.
Speaker A:If I didn't know any better. And this is, this is me. Coogler and Jordan are the Denzel and Spike Lee of this new.
Speaker E:Not the mo. Better blue. Sir.
Speaker C:Stop.
Speaker A:Because they're, they're this generation's Denzel and Spike Lee. Wow. I see that. I see it like look at the projects. They, they've been hidden on tens every Single time, nothing under 89. Let's just put it like that.
Speaker C:And it's different genres that we're seeing. It's not just your typical stereotypical. That's the best way I can put this. It's not your stereotypical hood stories that were used.
Speaker D:No.
Speaker C:So. Oh, his.
Speaker A:His first movie was based on a true story and that shook people to the core.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker A:So.
Speaker C:And this is why I said, I go back to Tafara's review of what he said about sinners, and he pulls the scene for Transformers with Tyree. Man, did you see if you can see this? I was like, if that is not. I said, look, I.
I hope me and the wife can sneak away to go watch her this weekend, because I want to see it. Because I'm just like, number one, it needs to be supported. Number two, it's Ryan Coogler. I mean, the guy. I want the guy to shine.
And not to say he hasn't done well in the mcu, his movies have done well in the mcu, but I want him to shine away from it. Like, this is. This is mine.
Speaker A:And he's done that, and he's just. That. Yeah.
Speaker C:So that's why I'm looking forward to it. At the same time, I just want to know if it's just the question of.
It's like after playing south at Midnight, then looking at centers, I'm like, are we just kind of. Is it kind of a kid? I'm not saying it's connected, but at the same time, it kind of feels like it's a little bit connected.
Yeah, it feels a little bit connected.
Speaker A:I like what he's doing.
Speaker E:Just an inch.
Speaker A:I like what he's doing. His work has consistently shined him. Jordan Peele, these. These are the type of directors they have. This is what I love about.
As you get older and as you see as many films and television shows as we have, you start getting to a stage where you can appreciate why they tell a story a certain way, and they break it down to the most simplistic ways of understanding. And he says where he gets his influences from and everything else and the processes. I still remember him talking about Black Panther and the. Just.
He said the. Just the way he wanted things set up and the. From the wardrobe to the vibe, he said, yeah, he goes all in. And this is what you need. And there's.
There's other directors who are really good at that type of story, at that type of storytelling. You know, Jordan Peele, you need. You need a sit down and Watch several times, especially with that new movie.
Speaker C:He'S doing with him. Called him about football and Marlon Wayans is part of it.
Speaker A:Yeah. And even with, even with that, I am so invested because I'm like, everybody knows Marlon Wayans. He's one of the funniest out of the Wayans family.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker A:And to see him, we've seen, I've seen him in a serious role before, but this is going to be something different. And I think he's really just like, I want to get more. Even him playing the role of Will's dad on Fresh Prince of Bel Air.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker A:Just seeing him in that, in that viewpoint, you're just, oh, wow. You're just like, man, dude. I'm like, yeah, what, where, where is the Wayans movie studio at? Because y'all, y'all locked in too now.
Speaker C:So what? It was a living. I mean, not, I mean, it wasn't really a studio, but let's be honest, Living Color was their studio. You really think about it.
Speaker A:Yeah. So I, I, I enjoy. You're right, Mal, Jordan Peele and Ryan Coogler are modern visionaries and great storytellers.
And, and that's, and that's what we need. It's okay. You know, you have your escapism with all the superhero films. You have your escapism with all your action films.
You have your even magazine dreams. You have, you have these stories that's being told, and you're just like, that's powerful also.
Speaker C:It's powerful. That also deserves a watch. But, my God, I was not expecting that.
Speaker A:Yeah, look, when you had, when you had Hell Small saying, I had no desire to see it. I've been in that lifestyle. I, I've seen things. It seems like I have seen things, so. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, exactly.
That's what I mean, seeing him in Reck Wing for a dream. Exactly. Yeah. That's where I first seen him in a very serious role. And that was very early in his career.
Speaker C:Right.
Speaker E:So it shows you the level of flexibility he has.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker E:You can pull these roles off to either end of the, either extreme and still make it very entertaining.
Speaker A:Lady Mandalore's Join the chat.
Speaker E:Oh, my God. Hers was way better than mine.
Speaker F:Hi, how are you? How is everybody doing?
Speaker A:Oh, we're just talking about our visionary directors of the new generation in the Cooglers and the Jordan Peels and, and waiting for. Yeah, Forever now. I mean, I mean, they're the standouts. They're definitely the standouts, but that door.
Speaker C:Is always open for other directors to come In. I mean, it's just like. Yeah, I hate to say that we. We don't need. We don't need to be directors, if that makes sense. If you're coming in.
Speaker D:Even.
Speaker A:Even Tyler Perry has been dabbled in trying to do something different outside his normal, and he's done it, you know, but once again, it's for a different crowd. I don't knock it all.
Speaker E:I'm gonna say.
Speaker F:What's wrong, Spartan?
Speaker E:I'm gonna say it.
Speaker C:No. Nope.
Speaker E:You know you want to.
Speaker C:Nope.
Speaker E:Do it.
Speaker C:Nope.
Speaker E:Say it.
Speaker C:Fine. Y'all ask for this. It's the same dog. It's the same doggone formula in every freaking movie.
Speaker A:Not. Not every movie he's been in or directed.
Speaker C:I mean, three things.
Speaker A:The main universe of the Medea verse, okay?
Speaker C:Every movie has same thing. Is it not one individual struggling to overcome something? Is it not always a religious background?
And it's not always one song at least played three times in the movie?
Speaker A:That's the Medea verse.
Speaker C:I'm just.
Speaker A:I'm not debating in the Med verse.
Speaker C:It's just.
Speaker A:But once again. But even. Even he said it on. What was it? Was it. I can't remember the TV show he was on, but even he described it.
He said, I don't really care about the mass audience. I just care about the audience in which I've been serving all this time. Because they still come to see it. They still show support.
Speaker C:They still show support.
Speaker B:But I'm like.
Speaker C:Hire other writers to write with you.
Speaker A:No, I think that breaks. I. I would. I would say this. I will say this. If I was in his shoes, I would hire other writers to write projects that's outside of that universe.
Speaker C:And that's fine.
Speaker E:Just Lady Mandalore. Can you say that word again?
Speaker F:No.
Speaker C:Because I'm.
Speaker A:Because obviously. Obviously. And I keep saying Medea verse. Because that's what it is. That works.
Speaker C:It does.
Speaker A:That pulls money. That's going to continue to pull in money. But if he's going to tell a story outside of that, you try to tell.
Speaker C:Us. What was that crazy? What was that story about that lady decided to kill her husband after he left her, got rich, and then she just didn't let it go.
Speaker A:No, no, I know what it. Taraji P. Henson was in that. I can't remember the name of it.
Speaker C:It starts with the A, and I can't.
Speaker A:Acrimony. It was acronym.
Speaker C:There we go.
Speaker A:Acri.
Speaker E:Yeah.
Speaker C:Alimony.
Speaker E:Yeah. Alimony.
Speaker D:Yeah.
Speaker C:Navy threw me off when he said my last marriage. I was about to Threw me off for a second.
Speaker A:But, I mean. But what. But it was different. It was. It was different that.
Speaker C:That I will give it different. And I'm not trying to. And again, I'm not trying to throw shade on Tyler Perry. That man accomplished.
That man literally made it to where you bought an Air Force base. I'm not sorry. You bought a former Confederate space.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:And not to me. People can sit there and say that you. Not only if you bought. Because government property is a little.
Speaker A:Is a.
Speaker C:Number one is freaking expensive and you get to jump through hoops to buy it. And number two, you had the money to buy it. He did not take out loans. He did not. He did not find investors.
This man took his own money and purchased an Air Force base. Cat Williams, not too long ago, did the same freaking thing.
Speaker A:Even the Waynes was trying to do that a couple years ago by an old army base. Yeah, right.
Speaker C:So I'm not. So I'm not knocking him to the point to where. Yeah, you've made it to where you open the door for other films and other movies to be made.
I'm just like, sir, you laid the groundwork. The tunnel is built, the bridge is there. Just let other cars come across it. That's all I'm saying.
Speaker A:I mean, and I'll. And I will go. I will go out, I guess on the landmark. I should say he's no different than what he's.
His formula for either telling the story or the people he has in his. In his films is no different than Adam Sandler. Anything that De Niro and Pacino do, it's really no different.
Like, once again, the formula that works. It doesn't work for everyone or not as long for everyone, but it. It still works.
Speaker C:So, I mean, De Niro and Pacino, they couldn't get away from. They couldn't get away from crime mob movies, Ray Liotta, my movies. So, yeah, yeah, he did.
Speaker A:You know, and then he's had a couple little comedies in between, which is. Which is still funny to me. True.
Speaker E:I think the problem with Tyler is that he. His success has made him complacent and scared. So he stays in a safe lane with everything he does. But I. But I just.
Like you guys said, he has opened a path for other projects to come out. People are saying, well, why just.
Speaker A:He does have a program that just opened up today.
Speaker C:Yeah, that. I was about to mention that too. That he is trying to give other filmmakers and. And writers.
I forgot the name of what it's called, but basically if you're.
If you're a writer or you're a director or you're trying to get a movie where you try and get your movie actually produced, that's what the program is for. I just can't think of the name of. To save my life right now.
Speaker E:Here's my, here's my concern though.
If he falls back into the same old habits, no matter who he tries to get in to write us or to write a movie, he needs to be comfortable outside his normal genre. Because I'd like to see him come up with to do a superhero movie based off of an original character from an original comic from a.
An independent company that can resonate now.
Speaker C:He just doesn't have to be Vincent Man. Just don't be Vincent man about it.
Speaker A:Go ahead.
Speaker F:Only hang up is do the people that bring him these ideas, do they get to keep their ip And I don't think that is a thing.
Speaker A:Yeah, I don't know what the. I don't know what the. Yeah, I don't know what the details are behind it.
Speaker C:Right.
Speaker F:But if this, if with his history, I have a feeling that he would end up taking over a little bit too much.
Speaker C:But that's the problem. You can't.
Speaker D:You can't.
Speaker C:Vince McMahon Someone else's other thing. It's like you can step. You can step back, you can make suggestions. But yeah, I get what you're saying, Kira. He might take out.
He might say he's gonna try.
Speaker A:Yeah. If you sign, we say all that. We say, well, go ahead, go ahead.
Speaker F:If you sign the paperwork to make that thing now yours, it's like, oh, you can play, but you can't do. I want you to do this. Take out this, replace them with this. Put this in. And now turn it a little bit sideways and insert stick here. That's when.
That's. That's the documentation that feels which is happened.
Speaker A:Which is why we also encourage all Blurred creatives that have projects to come Sign up at Blurred Station. Hit the contact pay button at the top of that page, blurstation.com and you get to guess what. You get to keep your ip.
Speaker C:Thanks Kira, for that visual.
Speaker A:But I'm sure like he's been in other genre specific roles. He's been in sci fi stuff. He's. He's played Alex Cross at one point, you know, so it's. I think it's like Lady Mandalore said. Unless we know what the.
The details of said this program he has going on, it doesn't help if it doesn't help if they don't have the control of it.
Speaker C:Right.
Speaker A:You can have oversight, you know, but you have control over it.
Speaker C:Yeah, you should have, like, say, like, right. Like, I don't know. It's like. It's like having. It's like saying Knights of the Abyss got produced by Taller Perry Studios. Just produce it.
It looks great. You don't do anything but throw money at it.
Speaker A:That's it. And shout out to Night over this. Matter of fact, there's some other indie creatives I want to shout out.
Shout out to Lloyd, to the team of Lloyd and Natasha Jones over at Midnight Comics of meeting another goal for their Kickstarter. There you go. I knew you had it.
Speaker C:She had it.
Speaker A:So shout out to them. They. They've met their Go for the Gray. So you can actually go to the Kickstarter. You can get issue one and two and three coming up.
Shout out to Next Step Comics, Pepper Piper, Monster Hunter, volumes one and two are currently available, and I believe they're working on three right now.
Speaker F:Yes, that is correct.

I'm doing a giveaway for that, so go check that out for our next segment. Blurred Origins. Everybody knows us. They watch us, they support us wherever they can. But I don't think they know our origin story.
They just view us as the conglomerate of, of nerdy space pirates that have come together. And they know us in our separate entities. At the same time, they don't know how we got here. It's just like, this is like a bunch of.
A bunch of God's angels just came down and decided to like, you know, we're gonna bless you not with just our presence, but with some of our expertise. So.
Speaker E:We were coming down. The angel said hold a. Hold. It took a paintbrush.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker E:Okay, now you look good.
Speaker A:So I think it would be fair to just kind of do like a quick round table discussion and just kind of.
I'm gonna say quick but quick roundtable discussion to just tell people, to tell the people who's new here and to tell people who are returning members and just kind of came in, I guess, at the last part. Bus stop, I guess. How did you get started? Where did it come from? How did you know?
Speaker E:Who do you blame?
Speaker A:Whoopty. Our Nails tactician. See, if everybody wants to say nail Smith. That's all cool and all. That's tactician sounds so much cooler. It sounds like.
Speaker D:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker E:Developer, you are the great.
Speaker A:Whoopty. What got you into being a blurred. How did you know you were blurred? What got you started in all that?
Speaker G:For me, it started as a wee little girl in the career.
Speaker C:And Elon Musk is struck again.
Speaker A:Okay, there she goes.
Speaker C:All right, let's try it again.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker C:What happened?
Speaker A:All I know is a wee little girl. That's too much information.
Speaker F:Shut it down.
Speaker G:Yeah. It started for me as a small girl in the Caribbean. My aunt used to babysit me, and she had nine boys.
Speaker E:Wow.
Speaker G:All of which are older than me. And two sets of twins. And they used to read comics. They were heavy into comics. There were always comics around the house.
Speaker E:Well, let me sit up on that one.
Speaker C:That is a basketball team with something substitutes. Holy crap.
Speaker A:Make sure y'all.
Speaker F:L. The band.
Speaker G:They all play.
Speaker A:That makes a good party, right?
Speaker G:They're good like that. So there were old comics around the house, and I used to pick them up and look at them.
The comics that they mainly had were Avengers, um, Thor, some X Men, and Rom Space Night.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker G:So that's what they mainly.
Speaker F:They had around the house.
Speaker G:And I picked up a couple and yeah, I saw Storm. For me, that was it. It was a wrap. I haven't looked back since.
Speaker A:It is. It's normally Storm. Storm does.
Speaker G:And I read a lot. I read a lot. Like, there's always.
Speaker A:Oh, yeah, you're like a. You're like a novel. A novelry. And I don't mean like novel in her. She reads novels.
Speaker E:Like, that is a bibliophile to the nth degree.
Speaker C:Right.
Speaker E:And Lady Mandalore. Both of them.
Speaker G:Thank God for my Kindle.
Speaker E:Look, we just advocated for you. We don't need you.
Speaker F:The trees. Thank you.
Speaker A:I guess. I guess the next question is, when did you find. When did you find the safe space? When you knew. Okay. Oh, that's what this is.
I'm not a nerd per se, but I'm a blurred.
Speaker G:The word blurred was fairly new to me, like, within the last five years or so. I always was okay with just being nerdy. My family.
Yeah, you know, large, overly large Caribbean families, they got jokes about everything that isn't, you know, exactly the same. So, you know, I took my jokes.
Speaker A:That's just. That's black. That's black families, period.
Speaker G:I took my jokes about, you know, being a family bookworm, about reading comics and stuff like that. But other than that, being black and nerdy wasn't a thing for me until, like, recently.
Speaker A:She's finding her. Her water finds its way.
Speaker G:I'm sorry.
I found my people basically online poking around Instagram and, you know, mainly Instagram and, you know, watching people as I started to attend cons and seeing who was out there and then meeting people, adding them to my Instagram, and it went from there. And that's when I realized that there is a strong, learned community out there and that.
What I've always watched anime, read comics, the books that I read, that the people are out there, and. And they look like me and they think like me, and it's time to become a part of that community. That's simple. And I haven't looked back.
Speaker A:And then. And then I said, hey, get up here in this ship. We can use somebody like you.
Speaker E:At first, you're like, no, no, no, no, look.
Speaker A:Oh, my God. It was.
Speaker G:It was me, like, just cracking jokes in your. In your streams and on your pages.
Speaker A:And stuff like that.
Speaker G:That's how I prepare.
Speaker A:Lady M was like. And Whoopi Freaky. Oh, you didn't check her. I'm like, all right.
Speaker E:Referral was strong with this one.
Speaker A:Speaking of Lady Mandalore, how did you get. I don't know. We'll say introduced, and how did you know you were in the right place? And when did you realize you were in the safe spot?
Speaker F: s probably, like, Voltron the: Speaker C:The lines. The lions.
Speaker E:You don't want to. You don't want to go down.
Speaker F:That.
Speaker C:That's a whole. That's a whole other conversation. Just.
Speaker F:That's not what I said. Voltron plopped in front of a tv. Don't touch nothing. Don't stick a fork inside of this electrical outlet. He's watching the television. It's fine.
I did not know that this was not a regular occurrence for other people in the world. So I. I watch Voltron.
Tried to talk to some people at school about it, but then the boys that, you know, before y'all got icky and weird, and we would play. Yeah, we would play thundercats, Transformers. So tomboy, if you're not. If you're not checking your scoreboard. Tomboy dresses were not my thing.
Do not put it on me. What's the point then? There's a. Just a blank period between, like, elementary school and high school. High school.
Speaker A:Oh, that like. Like many of us. That's hard.
Speaker F:Nothing happened for a thousand years. And then realized that there were people at my school. Gay best friend Jason. He introduced. We realized that we both like Xena Warrior Princess.
Speaker D:Hey.
Speaker F:That type of thing.
Speaker A:And where the real rivalry between Homelander and Billy actually started.
Speaker C:You.
Speaker A:You've got to be a fan of Xena to know exactly what that means.
Speaker F:I did not know that that man was in that show. And then what was it? Power Rangers. Going to school. Talking about Power Rangers throughout the week.
The weirdo emo kids whispering in the darkness about this thing called Dragon Ball Z. And getting falling into though that whole repertoire cut to college. It's around too much. Honestly. Was out here running these New York City streets.
Mother had stories and eventually landed back into the Blur sphere. Through the pandemic. In a sense. I had a lot of time on my hands and was like, oh, oh, there's.
Speaker C:Oh, there's.
Speaker A:There's.
Speaker F:All of you are here. Nobody told me. I didn't get the memo. And. Yeah. What are we in four years later.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker F:Doing all this now. So this is. This is. It's been a ride. It's been a ride.
Speaker A:Yeah. Spartan, what was your introduction here?
Speaker C:I can't say.
Speaker A:I can't say Safe space. Because you're just like. Just look at me. Wow. Just like I am.
Speaker E:Uppercuts are coming hard from Ohio, y'all.
Speaker C:He. He's not wrong. I've been called many a safe space at Con, so I can't say nothing to kids. Where kids will walk up and say, you look. You look safe.
I'm just gonna hang with you till my parents show up. I'm like, who you belong to, child?
Speaker F:Wait.
Speaker A:Sorry.
Speaker F:Shout out to my Aunt Lynette, who introduced me to Star wars, which is why Lady Mandalore in that whole thing. Okay, bye.
Speaker A:Spartan's one of those ones where they. Some. Some. Some. Some uber, uber minch will come up to him. It's like, you know, that's not. He's like, do I look like I give a damn? I like what I like.
Do you want to find out anything else?
Speaker C:I. I try to be nice. I try to be peaceful. Anyway, let's see. Started. See, it's kind of a mix. See, I could say it started with bravestar. I see.
I say it could have started with Silverhawks. It could have started with except for Hot Wings.
Speaker A:I have never forget.
Speaker C:Hot Wings is the worst name you can give to the blackest. You know what? Anyway, terrible name. Terrible name to give to the black character on Silver Hawks, you name him, Hot Wings. I'm just. I'm sorry.
Speaker E:We won't forgive that.
Speaker C:We'll never forgive that. Eventually did migrate to comics because your boy did like to read, but I wasn't into the grand literature of theater as I am now.
Your boy just pretty much stayed in the library reading comic books because the library wanted to get rid of the library. Want to sit me down somewhere and said, here, read this. Which actually was Batman, issue 47. I want to say. Origins of Batman.
It was like, way, way Silver Age. But anyway, got me introduced to Batman, and from there, it was reading into Justice League.
Eventually did get me into Marvel, reading, reading Demon in a Bottle by Iron Demon Ball Arc by Iron Man. And of course, that led me into Image and eventually Static, and. Which led me to Blood Syndicate. Eventually led me to Icon Rocket.
And from there, growing up, it was just. It was honestly cartoons. It was anime. Because at one point, all we really had was. How can I say this? I had. I had. Everybody had the.
The CD guy, the cd, cd, DVR person, or this cassette person in your neighborhood. I challenged mine because I'm like, bruh, can you find Ninja Scroll? Can you find. Can you find. Oh, dear God. Seven. Seven. The seven deadly villains.
Seven, seven deadly venoms of Shaolin the 36.
Speaker A:That was a hard film to find, man.
Speaker E:You mean the Five Deadly. Five Deadly.
Speaker A:Five Daily Venoms.
Speaker C:Five Daily Venoms. He found.
Speaker A:That's. That was a hard film to find at the time.
Speaker C:Yeah, he had found that. So what? That actually, because of that, it led my love into martial arts and eventually to the point to where I never actually felt alone.
I've always had a few friends that were all into the same things I was all into. So I never had that lone wolf thing, although I was still. Believe it or not, I was actually short.
I didn't actually hit my growth spurt till way later. So a lot of people don't believe that when they see me. I'm like, no. Imagine a very short, skinny kid that was just big in the.
That was just big into comics, that was just big into certain television shows. And then video games came around, and then your boy just stayed in his room most of the time.
I mean, I went outside for air eventually, but your boy was on the sticks. Your boy was nice with it for a little while.
And, you know, thanks to my mom, which I'm not gonna name Nate, I'm not gonna blame her, because we have E series now. Your boy could have paid off the House. That's all I'm saying. We could have been living. We could have been living last because, you know, you don't.
You don't make a career off playing video games, and yet 20 years later. But it's not like I got. It's not like I got. It's not like I got aggression. I don't. I don't have any hatred. I don't.
Speaker A:You've seen some of the work stories as. Yeah, he has a way of getting that out.
Speaker C:Seriously. Yeah, I don't have. I don't. I don't have. I don't have. Anyway. But no, eventually it just led.
Speaker A:That. That was. I'm sorry. That was giving Thor and. And Star Lord vibes where he was like, oh, nice. He was like, you're the captain now.
Speaker C:I must say, outside of that, it did lead to basically going to college is where I actually got introduced to Dungeons and Dragons, because I walked into a room where, you know, five or five guys were surrounding by a table, and they had this one guy set up to where this picture friendly Lord of the Rings. I was like, what you guys are doing? And they're like playing Dungeons and Dragons. I was like, what is that? They said, sit down. I said, okay.
They enemy a sheet. I said, okay. They said, pick a character. I said, how? They handed me a book instead of reading, which was my first.
Speaker E:I didn't want to help you at all.
Speaker A:Oh, no.
Speaker C:They sat there. Oh, I got thrown to the fire. It's like, look, read this. You'll pick it up as you go along. I said, but it was still one of the funnest.
One of the funnest things I ever did as a group, outside of sports or anything else, was actually playing that.
Of course, anime came along and, well, podcast came along because someone suggested that I need to talk outside of being a statue, which, to sum it all up, is. Eventually led us to here.
Speaker A:Navy.
Speaker E:Wow.
Speaker A:I. I've heard your story, but I. I've known your story for so. For some years. But tell the people this. This. This Navy has a.
Is a very distinct way of how he came about everything.
Speaker C:Does it have it. Does it have an epic intro?
Speaker E:Yeah, we couldn't afford it on my budget. Now it was just everybody. Everybody hummed. That's all we did. We all hum the theme music to the Schoolhouse Rock. That's pretty much where it's.
Speaker C:Maybe. Maybe we hummed. The last time you started speaking, you didn't like it.
Speaker E:See, that was a difference. Y'all were all off. All off rhythm it's like, oh, my gosh, are you humming? Are you grunting? I don't know what the hell.
My journey started at 9 years old. I was a comic kid, and my first comic I actually stole. It was. It was a Captain America number, 47 out of the local drugstore.
And my heart was beating like a drum. But when I got home, my grandmother's house, and I read that book, I was hooked. So much so. And I told Chris this story.
I had a friend of mine named Brian. Brian's mother did not particularly care for people outside the house. And that Christmas, I got my Wilson basketball for my uncle.
I don't play basketball. Sorry, I don't play. So I'm dribbling this thing and throwing it all over the place, and he comes out and he's got this massive cardboard box.
Speaker G:I said, what is that?
Speaker E:He says, these are comics, Tragi. So I traded my basketball for 300 comic books, and my love started from there.
Speaker A:And. And literally to this day, that's still a sweet ass deal.
Speaker E:My uncle didn't think so. My mother was like, johnny, you know that boy don't like sports. What the hell's wrong with you?
Speaker A:Ball cost 15. You got books in there that could be well over a grand. So I'm just saying.
Speaker E:So from there, it was Saturday morning cartoons, of course. Battle of the planets GeForce was my first introduction to anime. And we all know Saturday morning cartoons was our cathedral.
So Schoolhouse Rock taught us better than the school system did, which was great still to this very day.
Speaker A:Yeah, I can tell that some certain people in this country have not seen Schoolhouse Rock in its shows.
Speaker E:You all are missing. Never mind. Because some of y'all, y'all. Some of y'all are heathens. If y'all. If y'all not part of this. Anyway, so my. My journey grew.
See, I was a preacher's kid too, so that was a bit daunting because everything that I love, you couldn't bring into the chat. Which is fine. That's fine. My mother would sneak me comics. And then my dad was sneaky comics, God rest his soul.
So as I got older, I began to cosplay because of a. A school project. My final. My final project. Great books. We had to take on the Persona of a character that someone that was dead.
So I took my mother's best sheet. She's never forgiven me for that. Oh, I took a. Took some sprinkles of flour. I borrowed my uncle's glasses. I found sandals. And I went.
I got the biggest stick I could. And I walked into school and my first cosplay was my Honda's K. Gandhi. And I got an A plus. I went to the bathroom looking like this.
I came out looking like this as I'm walking down the hallway. Good evening to you, sir. How are you doing? He said, holy cow, you already get an A. Seriously. And from there, the love just grew.
Got into anime when I was in the Navy, conventions while I was in the military too. This year makes 35 years I've been going to conventions. Video gaming from the time where Pong was. That was a. That was a barn burner right there.
Speaker A:Oh.
Speaker E:Oh, you cheated. And then that's how fight started. Thank you for that. Then from there, I just.
I just blossomed and I bloomed and I discovered everything that I love, everything behind me is a testament to what I loved, whether it's sci fi, anime, Dungeons and Dragons, comics, board gaming, video gaming, you name it. And it just shows that when you love this, you embrace this. Did I have Ops?
Speaker A:Oh, yeah.
Speaker E:I married two of them. Trust me, I had ops. I did.
Speaker A:Wolfie is like, jesus, I'm serious.
Speaker E:It's no, it's no joke, y'all.
I almost lost my comic collection because my ex wife decided she was going to put everything in a storage shed, a storage unit, and she didn't pay for it. I had to contact the storage company to get my stuff. Went to my best friend. I said, you hold on to these. Did like, call back for them.
She said, I got you. Ten years later, she said, you want your comics, I want my comments. I came and got them, and they hear home.
Speaker D:Damn.
Speaker A:That. That was. That last part almost gave me a heart attack, I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker C:No, no, I. I've.
Speaker A:I have been privy to that, you know, in a form, but it wasn't. It's. I'll get to that. Oh.
Speaker E:So. So, Captain of the ship as a.
As your shepherd book of this illustrious vessel, how, pray tell, did you become, as you are now, the blood captain yourself?
Speaker A:Well, sit right down and I'll tell you a tale of a tale of a fateful trip.
Speaker C:I need a drink.
Speaker A:No. I've been exposed to, like, all forms of entertainment as a kid. I looked up to Lone Ranger and Zorro and Bandit from Smokey and the Bandit.
So, and, and, and, and. And Bugs Bunny. So you can imagine where all this troublemaking would start.
So, being exposed to all that stuff and then, and then Christopher Reeve, Superman, and the first comic I received, I was about 7 or 8 and it was through my grandmother who had took me to a second hand store. She was getting secondhand store grandma stuff, I don't know. And she.
I seen a pile of books on the table and I didn't know some of the other characters because I've never seen them before except for one. And it was whatever happened to the man of Tomorrow? The man of. And it was Superman issue 423. The, the COVID was just no good. The COVID was no good.
Like it was tattered all the hell but I wanted. And the lady she knew at the second hand store gave it to her and she said yeah, he can have it for free. It belonged to her grandson. He's.
He's not reading them anymore. So I, it started reading from there. My mom kept a book in my face. So I've read a lot of encyclopedias, you know, when they go door to door.
I was like consistently reading everywhere all the time. And my grandmother seen I had an affinity for comics. So whenever they found some comics they bring it in. Didn't matter where it was coming from.
I was reading them. And as, as you know, product of the 80s, Thundercats, He Man, GI Joe, Silver Hawks, all of that Bravestar, you name it, they were all there.
They were all being played. Saturday morning, 6am 12pm Straight cartoons on a Saturday, you know, bugs Bunny from 5am to 7am on a Sunday.
Knowing I shouldn't have been up that early because we had to go to church, but just watching all that stuff and reading all that stuff and then just gradually because it wasn't a bookstore near me. But when, by the time it was, I was about 16 and would crack casually go get some books.
My, you know, my grandmother would take me out to get the books or my mom.
And once that store shut down and then later on it picked up when I was about 19 and it was a bookstore right next to my job, I would, I would take all my tips and snatch up a crap ton of Spider Man. A crap ton of X Men crap ton of Batman. This was at a time where Spider man had about like eight titles.
Speaker E:What Batman is.
Speaker A:Yeah, yeah. So you, you talking about. It was. This was like their, the 90s. So you're talking about implosion. And I was there for the entire death of Superman.
And we, I got that graphic novel and I've got the novel or and I've got the books where he actually died.
Speaker C:Nice.
Speaker A:Never opened them. So I actually have two copies because my brother didn't want his. And I'm like well I'LL keep it. You know, I'll keep it.
football, ColecoVision, Atari:I'm like, I was born in it. What do you. What do you mean? So playing all those games, reading all those comics.
Anime came later, like in my mid-20s and being at work at a hospital and finding out one of the other guys watches dbz. And it just started from there. Like I was sucked in.
And I know people have heard me tell the story about staying up late on a Friday night and being exposed to ecw. Yeah. And then all the anime movies after that. So it was, it was building like compounding. Compounding.
I was around Dungeons and Dragons, watched the cartoon and everything and was pretty much molded by this entire lifestyle. Fast forward some years. I've collected quite a bit thanks to Mama Fury who's gotten my stuff in.
In collection in order, bagged, boarded, the whole nine she got. She said she would. Thank God it's Mama Fury.
So she, she said she kept that first half of the collection and stopped for a while because that store, the store I used to go to, that one shut down.
Which is why I say go and support your brick and mortar bookstores when you can, where you can shout out to Carolyn Johns here in Cleveland or I should say in the camp's corner area and just being involved with all that.
And I didn't get into podcasting until I went to media school and shout out to Tommy D of Circle, Circle of Nerds, who I was also a part of that crew. He wasn't one of the instructors I was entered. He was an instructor or ex instructor of the school.
And he introduced me, you know, I was already into Star wars and everything and than going to his house to record his show and seeing that he is a massive Star wars fan of, of owning things I've never even seen. And to the point he even has a Captain Rex outfit that he built and everything else. And he's weathered. So it was, it was something worthy of, of.
I'm like, can I stay tonight and I'll sleep on the couch. I won't bother you and your wife at all. You won't even know I'm here. So he got me, he on me with the podcasting journey.
And he was the one that coined me Chris Fury because he says, you know a lot about movies, you know a lot about cartoons and television shows. Star wars comics. He says you are the man on the wall. Like, you're, you're like Nick Fury was for the Watcher.
You were the man on the wall and you've seen it all and you witnessed it all. So that's where the whole name came from. And he said, run with it. And they didn't. Here it is. I. Here I am. I built my entire crew.
And there is one phrase I will never repeat in life due to its nature. And it's from Firefly and it's from Wash, the pilot. So if it. You. It's. It's the final line. He says, oh, exactly. I will never repeat that line.
It's a cool line because, yeah, it's. It's a. It's a connotation to it. And it's just like I'm afraid what's gonna happen after I finish that line.
But it always starts off, I'm a leaf on the wind. Watch how I. And you just. Yeah, it's. It's never, it's. It's never like I've. I've made road trips and almost said that line. Killing, Killing time.
And I'm like, yeah, I better not repeat that. That might be the time that the truck might shut down or something. So, yeah, so, yeah, I.
But yeah, I've been exposed to so much and still get exposed to so much and every day. Every, every day. And, you know, so when I see people online griping about stuff they know nothing about, and I.
And I feel like that one person is just like, actually, you're wrong.
Speaker C:At least, at least you're not the comic book guy from the Simpsons.
Speaker A:Yeah, like, I don't, I don't carry that. I hate to be. I hate to sound like that. I'm like. But it's true. You're wrong. You'll see a proof. You'll see proof of that later on tonight. Said.
Wait, it's not Fury. No, Fury is not my given name. It's not my birth name. I should say. I thought my name was Fury the whole time.
Speaker C:I love it.
Speaker D:That's what some people have known you as for the last five years.
Speaker C:So that's a fair point.
Speaker A:It's how I stay under the grid. Uncle Nick does it. And it works. So why not safari before we go to break? Tell the people how you got started in the blurred space.
And when you recognize it was a safe space.
Speaker D:I mean, if it's just the blurred origin story that's more so recent. That was. Was college.
And that was more so an outside looking in type of Thing because when you are black at a white college and it's a religious school and it's a mostly red leaning school, you're basically like a fish out of water. So they hit you with all the like, weird and Oreo turns because it's like they don't know what box you fit in. And we're just like, they didn't know.
They. They didn't know. They made us like this. But I kept it. Got to be around sophomore year, I went to go see, what was it? Battle of Gods.
And I'm like, yeah, yeah. That's when everyone kind of realized, oh, he doesn't give a what we think, clearly, because y'all keep asking me how it was.
Then we get to junior year and the Resurrection F came out and everybody kept asking, like, well, where can I go see it if I'm interested? Then we get the senior year, and now super is out and everybody's asking me what bootleg site to use. But around senior year.
And I've actually talked to him about this. That's kind of when RDC started to pop off. So here's Mark and here's Berlin.
Two different guys in my same age, in my same spot in life, who are also doing the same thing I am, which is like talking about this type of stuff. It's working for them.
For me, not so much because of who I'm around, but just seeing two other people who were doing that and succeeding at it let me know I wasn't crazy and that there is other people like me. Even if I have moved away from my hometown, where it seemed like I. That's the only place where I found others like myself.
Speaker A:I know that you're like a massive sonic fan and a massive Looney Tunes.
Speaker D:Yeah.
Speaker A:Which is. Which was surprising when I first heard you say it. I'm like, oh, he's on. Oh, he knows Looney Tunes. Thank God.
Speaker D:Space Jam was the first bootleg I ever owned. I've watched that probably more than the actual legit DVDs I had. I don't know what it was.
I think you had to, like, call the line or something and get it on your television. I just know, like, I see the number pop up and then it cuts. The tape cuts to spaceship, like an hour and a half and then another movie.
And I'm like, I don't know what my mom taped over, but this is my family. My family owns a little piece of land over in the west side of Orlando that my great grandma built. So the house has been paid off like generations.
But whenever you're down and hurt, that house is where you go stay. So at one point, my Aunt Rose was staying over there, but my mom used to go to work early, so I was.
I'd get up at like 6 and up until like 8, when the bus would come, I'd stay at my Rose's house. But my cousins Carmen and Crystal were already in high school, so they would be gone. But they had a Sega in the living room.
So that's how Sonic became like the first game I ever played, because that's what I would play waiting until I got on the bus in the morning in kindergarten. And then my dad had a buddy named J. Rip Jr.
Gave me my first Dreamcast, if anybody remembers the old, old DBZ tapes with where they used to advertise the Z Store. And it was just like this warehouse with all the imported stuff on it. Like when I would go to JR's house, he had every action figure all in.
In boxes, by the way. Nothing was open. Every action figure, every vhs, every dvd, just decorating his entire house. So.
And that was like my first intro to Dragon Ball because he had. He had everything.
Speaker A:See, people don't understand. By the way, I'm glad you mentioned Sega, the original Sega, still to this day, ahead of his time.
That, that special area where you had that card, that micro card. Oh, like, there was the. There was the cartridge and then there was a special spot that you had like a micro card that you.
I'm like, no one else was doing this. No one. Alex kid in Miracle World.
Speaker C:I gotta go dig mine. I gotta go digging out of my parents, out of my.
Speaker A:I have two of them because one of my cousins in Texas, they had a house fire and. But they, they somehow the Sega managed. And he was like, he sent it up to me. He's like, you want it? Yeah, I want it.
Speaker D:Yeah.
Speaker E:The master system. Yeah.
Speaker C:With that, with the third, with the 32X and the Sega CD, when you could actually play CDs off of it.
Speaker D:Sonic 3 was like the first DLC. They had like 50 attachments you could add to one cartridge.
Speaker A:And then we ain't even talking about the, the GameCube, which had wild attachments to it like nobody knew about until much.
Speaker E:GameCube was an alien artifact that it somehow became popular. That's what that was.
Speaker D:That was one of my happiest things to stream when I was doing the marathon, because I was like, look, I still have the, the cable, so you can take the, the chow out of Sonic Adventure or Sonic advance in here. You can actually, like, put them on, like, steroids and max out their stats as babies.
And then you can put them into the GameCube and win all the tournaments. And then they evolve with these stats that you gave them. But if you don't treat them right, then they don't come back. And that's the sad part.
Speaker C:But if you had the. But if you had the hard drive with the network, with a network attachment, the Japanese models. But you can get it.
Speaker D:That's what I didn't understand. Like, how's everybody getting Fantasy Star Online in these special. Ciao and Sonic? And then we realized, oh, Japan gets stuff that we don't cool.
Speaker C:Oh, but.
Speaker A:But they get all the cool stuff.
Speaker E:That is the main philosophy they get. We will never.
Speaker C:I will say this because they have a.
Speaker A:They have a mech unit.
Speaker C:Yep. Literally. But this is the reason why you keep holding the wall. You keep going to Hole in the Wall video game stores. Because that's how I found out.
The guy was like, they're not blocking you. You just have to call and place an order. I said that. That's it. Yeah. Here. Here's the number. Call an order. You'll get the part.
You'll get the part shipped to your house. And I was like, that's the best 50 bucks I ever spent. I was like, just to have that. And you can literally play online on the gamecube.
I was playing Smash. We were plants. I won't say which is me. Me and my brothers were all playing smash. But God knows who's playing at the time.
But yeah, just little things like that. You wouldn't know unless you had Hole in the Wall swords. You can go to.
Speaker D:Yeah. Shout out to Gamers Inc. Orlando in Florida, because they. They do raffles every now and then. So I won a modded gamecube.
So it's got the region free chip in it, which is how I can play, like, us and Japanese stuff on.
Speaker A:The same system before we go to break. I know when I started back up comic collecting, it was with my wife when we, like, our first year of marriage. And I seen X Men.
And this was when they were wearing black leather and everything else. And I'm like, this is beast. Now. I was involved in books. I'm like, oh, let me get this. And then I grabbed a couple and my wife.
My wife was getting her nails done. So when she seen me come out, she's like, wait, you read comics? And this is all I could say to her.
Speaker E:You in danger. Girl.
Speaker C:And he found it.
Speaker E:Really?
Speaker A:Y'all.
Speaker E:Y'all get a kick real quick. I'll tell you this. I. I have my original Nintendo 64, and I have Pokemon Snap Insta sitting.
Speaker D:In mine right now.
Speaker A:Wow.
Speaker E:Somebody offered me 200 for my game. I said, go find your own. I'm not doing this for an original.
Speaker C:Yeah, they try to be on the cheap side.
Speaker E:They did. They could cheap the ass away from me because I told them no.
Speaker D:If you haven't found your tribe yet, just know that they're out there.
Speaker A:That's it.
Speaker D:You very much have to just find them like me. But eventually, you will get there. You will get away from the river.
Speaker A:Finds a way.
Speaker D:It was annoying about it. It was just like. Because the. What was it? The people take anime too far. Those videos started getting popular.
So now every time they get posted, I'd be in class and I have like eight people tagging me under the same thing. I'm like, y'all. Do y'all not see each other? And then it got to the point where I had notifications on and like, hey, stop tagging me. I've seen it.
And then they would go right under that comment and tag me six times. And so when I told Mark this, he was like, that's funny. He's like, it's kind of up, but that is funny.
Speaker C:Let me dig out all my old systems now, See.
Speaker A:Well, we're gonna take a break. We're gonna come back. We got a little bit of news, a couple trailers to check out, and then we're going to talk about and break down as best we can.
Daredevil born Again Episode 9 A Violent.
Speaker E:Fest Ladies and gentlemen, the Violence fest.
Speaker A:It was a draw dropper. I. I will say that. No. We'll. We'll be right back. Blur's Eye View is a proud affiliate of Otaku Noir.

Speaker C:It.
Speaker A:So this past 24 hours has been busy, at least with trailers. We already got Star Wars, Star Wars Celebration, which has already started, I believe. Yep. Yes, that's probably going on.
Speaker D:Yeah, they got. I think they're right now the Mandalorian and Grogu panel.
Speaker A:Yeah. So talk about fine timing.
Speaker E:Are they streaming it on Twitch?
Speaker D:No, I just see stuff. I just see stories of people there I don't think there's any live. Anything happening.
Speaker C:Yeah, because I don't think. I don't think it's being broadcast. I just. I just barely saw a Star wars game get mentioned, so it's probably just coming out in spurts.
Speaker A:Wow.
Speaker F:I think they're gonna stream this weekend, if I'm.
Speaker A:I was gonna say, because it's kind of early in the.
Speaker F:There.
Speaker C:There's.
Speaker A:So to speak.
Speaker F:There's like. I think there's, like, a lot of, like, little panels, but it doesn't really. It didn't start. Well, I guess it's already Friday there now, but.
Speaker A:Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker E:They start streaming tomorrow. Day one streams tomorrow. And you can see it on YouTube as well.
Speaker A:Okay, we'll be. Oh, God. It's gonna be a busy weekend. All right, so let's get it going. So we've been getting hit with a couple trailers.
It's like, I have a lineup in there to say. Hey, wait, not yet. The first one is the final trailer for Thunderbolts, which comes out May 2nd. This one is.
I've heard nothing but good floating around this movie, the way it's been shot, everything that's being told. So we're going to be checking it out right now. Lena being hero. There is no higher calling.
Speaker D:Your sister understood something about that. I should have come back for you.
Speaker A:No, that's just a fairy tale.
Speaker E:I was in high school when the Avengers came. Kind of strange that it's all over now. No one's coming to save the day.
Speaker D:I think we are.
Speaker C:We can be the ones that are coming.
Speaker A:Buck, you have the wrong people. We have all done bad things.
Speaker D:Look out there where you are. The past doesn't go away. So you can either live with it forever or you can do something about it. I am a void. Look what you unleash.
You can't outrun the emptiness.
Speaker A:We can't do this. No one here is a hero. You all have things that we regret.
Speaker D:But I have so many. Lena, When I look at you, I.
Speaker A:Don'T see our mistakes. That's why we need each other. We can't stop him alone. No one can. But we can find a way together. Marvel Studios Thunderbolt.
Well, this looks interesting. The whole relationship between Yelena, Red, Guardian. This is gonna be deep.
Speaker C:Yep. The actress thing still bothers me, though.
Speaker F:But is that a symbol for something that it feels like anymore?
Speaker D:They keep saying it's going to get revealed or. I wouldn't be surprised if we get, like, a title change at the end credits Saying Dark Avengers or.
Speaker C:Right.
Speaker A:Yeah. So, like, they keep saying, like, they. They've been asking about this asterisk. They will not reveal it. They just. That's the same like Tafar said.
They are not revealing this until this movie drops. So I don't know what's going on. I am. I was already intrigued if people don't know me now, I'm normal Marveler, you know, so. But. And. And I.
I love Yelena's portrayal as. As the next Widow Red Guardians. This is a redemption movie for real.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker A:This is because even us Agent, who we could not stand during the Captain America and. And Winter Soldiers television show is like, I messed up. I messed up.
Speaker C:But like you said, it's all redemption. Maybe you're muted.
Speaker A:Go ahead, lady.
Speaker F:He's being more of a thunder cunt instead of a thunderbolt.
Speaker E:Damn. I. I unmuted at the right time. That timing was impeccable.
Speaker A:I was.
Speaker E:I was thinking about the asterisks, and there are what, five members of the deb. Of the Thunderbolts.
Speaker C:Yep.
Speaker E:And the asterisk is the five point.
Speaker F:Five points.
Speaker E:Five point star. So New Avengers, perhaps. Because if you look at the. The meeting table that the Avengers sat at, it had five seats.
Speaker C:Yep. We can go keep.
Speaker A:They keep saying whether it's thunderbolts or whether it's any other Marvel. They've been saying the Avengers aren't around anymore. Yeah, they literally. They are. After Tony and after Cap, Thor is in the wind.
I mean, he'll be back. Obviously he'll be back, but they're in the wind right now.
Speaker F:What. What if this is a new Avengers movie?
Speaker C:Come again?
Speaker F:What if this is a new Avengers.
Speaker G:Movie and then they're hiding it behind the asterisk?
Speaker D:Yeah.
Speaker E:Yeah. The.
Speaker F:The scenes that we're seeing are extremely limited. We keep seeing only those scenes. They haven't really given us anything else. Anything.
Speaker A:They've even. They've even mentioned Taskmaster in the beginning of this whole thing. And then all of a sudden, you stop hearing about Taskmaster. Yeah.
Speaker D:Poor bomb surviving child.
Speaker C:Right.
Speaker A:So, yeah, it's. I. I mean, I was. Like I said, it's already on board. I'm curious about that asterisk. I'm liking this redemption story.
Seeing Yelena break it, seeing her broken. That's what it is. It's. See, because we had. Outside of her losing Natasha, we haven't really seen her break.
Speaker C:Right.
Speaker F:She hasn't grieved for her sister.
Speaker E:No.
Speaker C:Not like she.
Speaker A:Not like she's wanted to. E. Even when we seen her at the grave site. She was being interrupted then.
Speaker G:Or even the family that she had, because she was. She was the youngest one of that four family unit, and she was snatched out of it when, you know, she was probably forming her strongest bonds.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker G:And she was willing to sacrifice herself in the Black Widow movie to save the rest of them. So she. She's invested. She was invested as with them as a family unit. And this could be her replacement family.
Speaker A:Yeah. Like she's looking at. Even with Red Guardian. He is. Because he's really taken on that father role. He did then, you know, despite the.
How everything looked, he still. He still viewed Natasha and Yelena. Those were her. His daughters.
Speaker C:Yep.
Speaker A:You know, and. But the way Yelena had. They didn't. She did not take that death like she should have. She didn't take it well. She didn't have time to grieve.
Speaker C:Right.
Speaker A:When we see her at the end of Black Widow, she's at the gravesite and. And the contessa comes up and she's like, you know, this is my off day.
It's like, you came and tracked this woman down when she's grieving to come do a job.
Speaker C:Screams a lot.
Speaker A:Yeah. At her time.
Speaker F:Be onto something new.
Speaker C:I can see Dark Avengers because it makes sense.
Speaker E:Definitely not the Invaders, though.
Speaker A:No. I. I would go with Secret Avengers.
Speaker D:I feel like we can see making a cameo in here, same way Bucky did for his movie. Maybe trying to pull one or two of them up, resorting to saying, no, we stay as a team over here for who knows what.
But if you need us, you know what? Ask. If you know what, you need us, you know where to call us. Something like that.
Speaker A:Yeah. Because there's only so much bucking you do. He's a politician now.
Speaker D:I'm curious how long that lasts after this movie.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:Well, if it follows. Well, I'm gonna say that because they may not follow the comics. It might not follow the new Thunderbolts. Let me not say that.
Speaker A:No, I. I don't think it will like to it. Like to it. I. I like not knowing. As long as it's not too far off the mark. They may.
What they've been doing is they've been able to tell the stories outside of Secret Invasion. They've been able to tell the stories to make them make sense.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker A:So I. I can appreciate their storytelling. And with this, I. I think we're in for a deep one for this one.
Speaker C:I think they're trying to go for gut wrenching.
Speaker A:Oh, Yeah.
Speaker G:I mean, it works so well for Guardians.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker E:Yeah.
Speaker C:I can't bring myself. I can't bring myself.
Speaker A:It's hard to watch that third one and not tear up. I'm sorry. I'm like. It's still hard to watch.
Speaker E:I'm like, if you're not feeling anything after that third one, you're not even alive.
Speaker G:In the first one, when he was like. He called me vermin. I was like, oh, no.
Speaker A:Then you go back and watch the first. The previous two, you're just like. Like, God, it all makes sense. This just wasn't random. Even. Even from. Damn you, gun. I love it.
Speaker C:We'll all go ahead and travel in that big beautiful sky. And then five minutes later, damn deepest.
Speaker D:Convo in the MCU was between a blue man and a space raccoon. Who would have thought?
Speaker A:Okay, that. And then his adopted son. That boy wasn't. That man was your father. I'm your daddy. What wrong?
Speaker C:He was like, no.
Speaker D:So somewhere in the background of all this, I guess Peter is just taking a nap. And Fisk is like, you know what? Curfew's going up to six. This is. I'm sick of.
Speaker A:Oh, man. So earlier today, we had another trailer drop. And that one was Fantastic Four. We got the full trailer for this one.
This is where that not exactly thing comes into play. We're gonna check that out right now.
Speaker D:Wow. Folks, we all know the story. Four brave astronauts head off into space and come back forever. Ever changed this car. Our city, our planet.
Owe a debt to these intrepid souls. And while we can never repay them, we can certainly celebrate them.
Speaker C:Thank you, Fantastic Four.
Speaker A:Thank you.
Speaker D:Thank you, Fantastic Four. Please welcome the Fantastic Four.
Speaker A:Herbie, how's that sauce looking? Okay.
Speaker D:That is fantastic.
Speaker A:You're late. What do you mean? What do you mean what do I mean? You're late for dinner.
Speaker C:Yes, we are you late.
Speaker E:I just said that.
Speaker D:Are you pregnant?
Speaker A:What?
Speaker D:You're gonna be the best mom in the world.
Speaker E:And you are gonna be the best dad.
Speaker A:Just kidding. You are out of your death.
Speaker D:We.
Speaker A:We're gonna be the best uncles ever. We can do this. All things going to change.
Speaker D:Are you the protectors of this world?
Speaker C:Yes, we are.
Speaker D:Your planet is now marked for death.
Speaker E:Lauren ran. It's my fault, right?
Speaker A:I stretched the bounds of space and they hurt.
Speaker C:Are we safe?
Speaker D:I don't know. There's not enough time.
Speaker A:I am not giving up. We will face this together. We will fight it together as a family.
Speaker D:Has to be us.
Speaker A:We will protect you.
Speaker C:Oh, no, that is.
Speaker A:So you've got an entertainment portion of the show. Here's the enter. Here's the education portion of the show for you incels out there that don't know what the hell you're talking about.
Surfer, let me tell you, go pick up a book. Earth x issue number 12. Her name is Shala Bell. She is the lover of Noren radio.
Speaker C:And she was a silver.
Speaker A:Get off your wide horse. They told you. I know what the hell I'm talking about.
Speaker C:I did that on purpose. But Silver server was a guy.
Speaker A:Shut the up. You've heard what we said. You've seen. You've seen them. You've seen the details. Now go touch grass.
Speaker E:When you're sniffing Dorito dust, you tend to think a little bit askew. No. When you're having that cool ranch withdrawal.
Speaker C:Tostitos.
Speaker E:What kind of Tostitos though?
Speaker A:That.
Speaker E:That tells the difference. Okay, okay. I with you. Yes, ma'am.
Speaker A:Okay, that part. That part. Bama. Galactus is not a fart cloud this time. That part.
Speaker C:Right.
Speaker A:Thank God.
Speaker E:I don't know how I feel about him walking on the planet though.
Speaker D:I was gonna say. Is he. Has he. Did he shrink down to come deal with this personally?
Because now I was gonna say what has pushed him to the point where now it's like we're not just going to be the size of the planet. We now need to come and walk. Take a stroll through what is clearly an evacuated New York.
Speaker C:Personally, that could be a fever dream.
Speaker D:Do we think. Dude, one of my. Do we think Reed is having. Yeah, Wanda giving Tony level nightmares.
Speaker C:That's what I think it is. I think. I think Reed is having. I think Reed is having a fever dream because you're right. Galactus can't really shrink down in size.
I mean he could but. But in this case. In this case it makes too. It makes too much sense. Reed having a crisis of conscience. I can't figure out how to solve the problem.
It is kind of Tony Stark esque with the Infinity with it. With the Infinity Stone. So I. I chalked that up to just read. Having a fever dream in his. In his own mind. Fighting Galactus.
Speaker A:That makes a lot of sense actually.
Especially if they are they talking to this version of the Silver Surfer and are able to actually talk to her and she says this is what's to come about, you know.
Speaker C:Are you the Guardians? I love that. I love the fact that line. I'm like somebody was paying attention when reading comics. The Guardians of.
Are you the Guardians of this Planet I almost had, Almost had a Ghostbuster moment. If they ask if you're a God, you say yes.
Speaker A:Yes. So I, I, this does look good. I like the 60 that 60s style. Yes. The fantastic car will be seen. They showed it like in a teaser trailer. Yeah, go ahead.
Speaker F:Hi. I feel like this is giving a, an alternate a. It's an alternate universe.
Speaker C:Yes.
Speaker F:And this is how we get replacing. Shut up.
Speaker E:You totally missed it.
Speaker A:The bubbles are the balloons.
Speaker E:Your eyes were closing. The balloons came up.
Speaker F:Nice. This feels like how they're going to replace Tony.
Speaker A:I would say, I would say that's okay.
Speaker F:Especially with the whole fever dream situation. Oh yeah, the planet. There's this great thing coming. I need to create a shield over the planet.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker D:I wouldn't be surprised if we get it. If we get a doom reveal with him being like, yeah, I'm having nightmares. And he's just like, yeah, and I told you not to touch none of this.
But do you ever listen to me?
Speaker C:No, but also, but also at the same time, this is the 60s. Howard Stark is still around.
Speaker E:Yes.
Speaker A:If, if, yeah, if it, if there's a Howard Stark in that universe and if it is, is he the same? Obviously he's not going to be the same. How we start. He may not be the.
Speaker C:I kind of think there'll be a Stark reference. And Reed just goes, yeah, him and me are two different people.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:I just sit there and go, he can.
Speaker G:This might be Tony stank in this universe.
Speaker D:Yeah. This could, this could result in them having to abandon ship. And like I was saying before, you just. You leave doom behind in the.
What's left of your world. And all he needs to know is that other worlds can be traveled to. He doesn't need to be shown how to do it. He just needs to know it's possible.
Next time you see him, he's a mask. God knows what and done who knows what where with who and gain. Or just been aura farming like he did in ultimate alliance.
That man would install like every cosmic everything.
Speaker A:I, I'm, I like what they've done. I'm with it. I like how they've gone right past the whole intro. Let's like the whole introduction. How did they get their powers? Blah, blah, blah.
They got that out the way real quick.
Speaker D:Yeah.
Speaker A:Like, it's not, it's like really like he, the, the television show host. The TV show host. He, he kind of does a quick run through. So it's, no, it's not necessary to say, hey, let's Retell this story again and like no, we.
It's like Spider Man. It's like Batman. It's like super. We know these stories. Like they've been around long enough. They. They just kind of know this story. Yeah.
Speaker D:The fact that the thing is now like a public figure amongst kids this time around versus just publicly despised because of how he looks.
Speaker C:Right.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker D:Yes. Kira, with your revelation.
Speaker F:The.
Speaker G:The.
Speaker F:The tiny whiny loopy thingy that happened in the Marvel's movie.
Speaker A:Ah, yes.
Speaker F:Is this ripple is still rippling. Correct. Is that a. Is that a thing?
Speaker A:I would think that there have been some form of after effects from there are trying to close.
Speaker D:They closed it but technically it can be. It can be caused elsewhere.
Speaker A:Yeah, we are. We are there. If there is a rip, there's probably a ripple of some four.
Speaker C:Considering the fact that he is trying to build. He's trying to build an interdimensional. An interdimensional bridge.
So chances are there are incursions occurring and he actually may accidentally cause one.
Speaker A:Or strange is out dealing with an in incursion. Monica has ripped. Well, Monica didn't rip the hole in the universe, but a hole was ripped. Loki has been dealing with some things.
Speaker D:What you got? What you got? Kira?
Speaker F:I think. I feel like there's. This is all gonna happen at the same time. And when Monica closes that hole, that's when they come over to our.
Speaker D:Yes, I can see that that's a possibility. I also feel like maybe Galactus has other plans. Maybe he needed the fact that he was able to send a signal out.
Maybe he needs Reed personally for something possible. And that could be why he's making this such a personal mission.
Speaker C:Yep.
Speaker E:Someone tell Malaika to stop being like this. Okay? Please.
Speaker D:You are usually the holy one down there.
Speaker C:Who are you? You know what I was about to say? I was about to say God dang it, Bama. I'm like no, it's not Bama. This time.
Speaker A:It was bad.
Speaker D:It is almost. We are on the dawn of Easter Sunday. Come on now.
Speaker E:That's the perfect time to do it. Don't that and what.
Speaker D:Rev is saying. Enjoy Good Friday but pay extra tires on Sunday.
Speaker F:Right now. Mal just gave up holding back for let. He didn't.
Speaker C:I've never. Wow.
Speaker D:I think we are getting an ultimate alliance level set up with at least kind of. Everybody was just hanging out of Stark Tower in that game. I think it's going to be that. But just we have cross gateways to get to who we need to.
Speaker A:Yeah, I believe because they never really cracked the secret of Kamala's bangles.
Speaker C:Right.
Speaker A:So they don't know the full. They don't know the full.
Speaker C:Didn't they try to link Kamala's Bengals and the ten Rings as saying they're.
Speaker A:Then there's that. There's that.
Speaker E:They're connected.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker D:Yeah. Can we get a call back to that, please?
Speaker A:So there's, like, there. There's a lot. And I think that's where. I think that's where the patient part of everything is playing out.
They're just like, no, these things have been literally been dropped and you. You forgot about them. But these things have been. There's the things in. In Shangxi. There's the things with Kamala's bangles. There's the.
The hole that got ripped that Monica had to close. Just Loki trying to tie everything together.
Speaker D:And then Photon, I think, has the same Bangles in. In the end credit scene or her mom.
Speaker C:Her mom has it. Yeah, her mom. Yeah.
Speaker A:Yeah, her mom has one. Yeah. So is. There's. There's things are. You know, they're strange in the incursion. Who's to say that. And then Reed building, possibly built.
Trying to find a way to build an interdimensional bridge. Who's to say, like Kira said. Who's to say that these moments are literally the thing that kicks everything off?
Speaker C:It's almost that the watch is just sitting there watching. The watch is like, just stop, all of you. Stop, all of you.
Speaker F:That's what y'all were talking about the. The what if series, too.
Speaker A:Yeah. Yeah. So he's probably just. He's like, oh, dear, not again.
Speaker D:What about. All this is going on as they're having that big clash on whatever. On Strangest Supremes Universe? It's like.
Well, we would have been paying attention, but we had, like, some internal issues to deal with.
Speaker A:We had to clear it out. We had to clear up. We had a problem at hr, so we had to take care of that.
Speaker C:Wow.
Speaker F:Restructuring.
Speaker D:Yeah.
Speaker A:So restructuring.
Speaker C:I mean, you might as well be.
Speaker A:So. Yeah. They said there is one more trailer to drop.
Speaker C:Really?
Speaker D:I feel like we've seen enough, right?
Speaker E:No, not in their eyes.
Speaker D:I mean, I like, I look after seeing, like, sinners. I appreciate.
Speaker C:No, not.
Speaker A:Not for Fantastic Four.
Speaker D:They said, oh, okay, okay, okay. I'm gonna say, like, I'm. I feel like y'all giving me enough without telling me anything. And that's great.
Speaker A:Yeah. Because it's getting ready to be a heavy, heavy summer.
Speaker C:Right.
Speaker D:Super Jurassic 4.
Speaker C:I feel sorry for Jurassic 4 right now.
Speaker F:Nobody going to see that movie.
Speaker A:People are gonna see it, but it's gonna be like, what does your wallet want to say?
Speaker D:I think those. Those three will be fine. Smurfs, you need to just pick, like, next year here. Stop it.
Speaker C:Right? Smurf needs to redo there.
Speaker D:The battle will be held on the rubble that is now Smurf Village.
Speaker E:No, the Smurfs need to be thrown into the sun. That's what that needs to happen.
Speaker F:Rihanna, until you give us that album, baby, everything you touch gonna fail.
Speaker A:Well, according to Queen riri, she said she's. She might have another set of another kid. She's just trying to enjoy her man right now. I'm like, well, I ain't mad at you.
Speaker E:Hear her singing, though. How about a round of applause?
Speaker A:Especially after she dropped that old. That. That. This new lingerie. Fenty.
Speaker C:She said that?
Speaker A:She just did. And I'm like, I see why he's going to give you another kiss.
Speaker C:He said Fenty is doing well asap. Ain't saying nothing. He doesn't beat that case, and. Never mind. Let me. Let me change.
Speaker A:No, he did.
Speaker G:He beat that case, and he.
Speaker A:Shut up. Exactly.
Speaker C:You saw exactly where I was going, bro.
Speaker D:You beat the case, and you go be black and happy and quiet about it. There's nothing wrong.
Speaker C:Let's go that route.
Speaker D:Every Caribbean auntie she has in her family is clapping it up for her.
Speaker E:By the way, Lady Mandalore, Star Wars Celebration is currently streaming right now.
Speaker F:I know it is. That's why I said I think it's. It's starting tonight.
Speaker E:Yep. Hayden Christensen is now talking on the stage first.
Speaker A:Speaking of which, I think that's actually at the theaters this weekend as well.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker F:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker C:Is it this Revenge of the Sith?
Speaker F:Is it 22nd?
Speaker D:That's. That's gonna be what? The Revenge. The rerun. That's next month.
Speaker C:Okay, okay.
Speaker D:I don't know how they got their hands on that footage of Hayden this early, but someone's getting shot.
Speaker C:All I got is there and say is all these leaks. And yet the Warner Brothers vault still remains the most guarded secret in all of movie studios.
Speaker A:Release Bad girl.
Speaker C:Thank you. He whispered it. Y'all got the same people from the. Y'all have the same people that got employed by GTA 6 to take out snipers sitting on that vault.
Speaker D:Oh, never mind.
Speaker A:Apparently, that's where they spent all the money.
Speaker D:Okay, so apparently it's gonna start April 25th. Revenge of the Sith is.
Speaker A:Okay, okay.
Speaker D:I Don't know how long it's running.
Speaker E:We got eight days. One week.
Speaker D:Yep. Running for a week and some change, I think, up until, like, the anniversary of the actual film.
Aiden does, like, a special presentation at the beginning.
Speaker A:Yeah. Somebody leaked that, which.
Speaker D:Yeah, that much I saw. Tickets are on sale already, though.
Speaker C:Although it's nice to see that man getting his flowers. Him and Ahmed. And shout out to Ahmed, because again, I'm. I'm just starting my run on south of Midnight Two toe Tom needs to be a suit.
How dare y'all try to heal a gator. That gator should be a suit belt. I should be having gator fritters with some. Some catfish right now. I. I'm sorry. Anyway, Silent Midnight. Go enjoy it.
It's fun.
Speaker A:Oh, my God. So if you've been living under a rock, Daredevil Born again, Episode nine dropped this past Tuesday.
Speaker E:Unbelievable. Oh, unbelievable.
Speaker A:Is it safe to say good cinema at this point?
Speaker C:Yes.
Speaker E:Yes. Blood is slippery, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker A:Yeah.
If you were worried for those naysayers who were worried about how Daredevil will be treated now that Disney controls pretty much all the properties that they. Under the marble umbrella, you don't have to worry at all. This. This season has proven you wrong. They did not miss a beat. John Barenthal's Punisher.
I'm going to go on a limb and say it. He is the best version of Punisher I have seen to date. Shout out to whoever it used to be, Thomas Jane, whoever.
Speaker C:Whoever gave whoever sold Jot and Burton all those comics and sat there and said, don't f this up. You deserve a productional credit somewhere.
Speaker A:This. This. There's spoilers ahead. This is happening. There's a lot. I've said it before that Daredevil, even in comics, there's always this crisis of.
Of identity. There's crisis of morality, the relationship between Matt and Frank. I'm like, I could. I could go more. I can go for more of this.
Like, it's volatile, but they hold each other accountable to a certain degree. It's like Frank knows Matt won't go.
Speaker C:Over the edge, but can we say Frank was right?
Speaker A:But Frank was right.
Speaker C:Frank was right.
Speaker A:Go ahead. He's right there. Do it. He's the one. That's the one you were looking for, right? Go ahead, do it. You want me to hear, I'll do it for you?
He said, you just don't have any kind of the corp. You won't hold back at all. Like, no. Why should. See what these people trying to do to you, to the city, to everyone. No. Why would I hold back? No, no.
This. This entire season has been really, really good. Their cinematography. There's a scene near the end of the episode.
Well, where he's in the bar, where Matt is in the bar. Matt is in the bar and he's. He. Josie's. He's in Josie's and he's talking about. He needs an army.
There is a shot because the windows are pretty much covered up with newspaper. But if you look at the newspaper, there's articles about Wilson Fisk and all this other stuff. And Matt is like.
In the one opening of that shot of the. Of the inside of the bar, I'm like, that's a cool shot. Yeah.
Speaker C:I would say this as well. And again, this is not. I did not find this. People that got eagle eyes decided to look at it. They found certain.
They found certain names that were in the newspaper surrounding Daredevil. Somebody really took the time, magnified it and said.
And literally point out they circled certain names and said, this is the reason why I know season two is going to be not. And season two is going to answer our question on where everybody is.
Speaker D:I mean, if you got a curfew going on, Harlow's paradise is pretty much clapped.
Speaker A:If the day times are night time.
Speaker D:It was just right between that.
Speaker A:He's like, hey, we just starting to open up at 8. We ain't even.
Speaker E:No comment.
Speaker D:You can't have only the drug dealers coming in after 8pm that pretty much puts a bullseye on the task force. Comes in and just throws the paddy wagon out.
Speaker E:Of course you can.
Speaker C:Harlem. Harlem's paradise becomes Harlem Nights damn near.
Speaker D:I mean, Harlem Nice has some legitimacy going on. You just had one old dude who didn't like all that money going to black people.
Speaker A:That's what.
Speaker D:At the end of the day with them, they're just like, we'll use this place to route all the criminal activities. Like, damn, we can't even go outside. We gotta, like, schedule the drug drops.
Speaker C:On Zoom and say, it's not the same without Della Reese. That's all I'm saying. Kiss my entire ass.
Speaker D:Look, if you do room. If you do a remake, Lunel is right there. That's the closest you're gonna get to that energy.
Speaker C:No, I'd rather do it. Ms. Pat would probably be better than Lunel.
Speaker F:I still. Monique, is it?
Speaker E:Yeah, yeah. Monique.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker A:I feel like it depends between Monique and Ms. Pat. I'm gonna.
Speaker D:I feel like it depends on if Monique feels like playing that type of character that day. Like, you got to ask her at the right time.
Speaker C:Shoot, that's her every day.
Speaker D:I'm just saying, if you catch in the. Hello. If you catch her in a hello, my baby's mood, and then say, we need you to play Del Reese, it's like, no.
Speaker A:So, anyway, about this last episode, we realized that Wilson Fist has an unlimited number of white suits of different variations, I might add, blood is slippery. Or either that or Gallo has a lot of product in his hair like that.
Speaker D:Like, do you. How long on the force? Like, fight back. You're not just gonna sit here and. And squeeze me?
Speaker C:Like, here's the.
Speaker A:Here's the thing. When. When Fisk is doing that, I don't think there was any kind of fight he could give.
Speaker E:He got chopped before he grabbed him. So.
Speaker A:Yeah, and that's a strong dude. Like, he. Like, there's no. There's no. Get your hands off me. That man is strong.
Speaker C:If this is your head and literally, it's getting crushed as a man is making eye. There's just something odd about a man making eye contact with you while he's crushing the skull of another man. It just.
It's unsettling is what I'm getting.
Speaker E:Like, this is the way.
Speaker D:Turn your weight.
Speaker A:What is the most disturbing is the fact that Fisk made that example of him in front of the task force and finishes and says, are there any questions? And no one says anything.
Speaker E:Yeah, I was gonna say. What are you gonna say?
Speaker D:I'd be like, hey, so I can just shoot him, right? Because, like, I don't. I can't. I'm not able to. I don't lift that.
Speaker A:Right?
Speaker D:Like, I can just.
Speaker C:I'm like, so.
Speaker A:Exactly.
Speaker C:No, stop and frisk. We can just stop and shoot. Cool.
Speaker A:All right.
Speaker C:I ain't got no questions, boss.
Speaker A:I'm good.
Speaker C:I'm good on the hair. I'm good.
Speaker D:And even then, you put the tarp everywhere but the floor. So, like, what the. That was my biggest. That was my biggest thing about it. I'm like, you did.
You did everything to cover the splatter, except where it's going to be like, see that?
Speaker A:No, this. This was the part that got me. It's all over his suit, and he's doing, like, this, right?
Speaker C:Oh, that's just that. That's not caring. That is like, I sat there, I said, there, showed you guys, you can go my way, you can go his way.
Speaker E:Tastes just like ketchup.
Speaker A:He wipes his face as he as. As if he ate a steak.
Speaker C:That was a Hannibal move, though. It was almost like. That was delicious.
Speaker D:Why are y'all introducing me to a new man named Luke? And it's not Cage. You don't get this dude up if you don't get this dude with five lines out my face.
Speaker A:Oh, my God.
Speaker D:Finding out homeboy was the one who killed a white tiger. I don't see how people, some people were clocking that back in like the third episode. And I don't get how.
Speaker A:Yeah, I was. I would have straight up thought it was that dude Powell, the one that Matt running into, because I seriously, I was like, no, it's pow.
It got to be power. Like, he's got to be the wrong guy.
I don't see how you made that connection, because I would have thought all of them would have had bullets like that, not. Not just one particular person.
Speaker D:Well, the fact that he had basically one slip up or one that we know of that got him on, like, his last department list. And he was like, yeah, dude was selling drugs to kids. And I handled it.
And I'm like, that's not as bad as other people around here, like, trying to beat up innocent people in the subway or beat up.
Speaker A:That was a weird. That was a weird turn.
Speaker D:Yeah.
Speaker A:I'm like, dude, you were coming off like you just had a bad day.
Speaker D:That's so people. Like, yeah, we knew it was found. Like, but how. Nothing about this character up until this point has said, right, it was him. And then let.
Let homeboy over there be a reminder your co workers are not your friends. Because how do you send, like, half my squad to the Pearly Gates or the fiery ones? And you're trying to recruit them before.
Like, you're trying to recruit the man that sent them there.
Speaker C:Weed him out. That's all he did. He weeded him. He weeded out the.
He weeded out the ones where it's like, the ones that'll go against me and the ones that'll fall in line. Let me make a list.
Speaker D:I. I guess you. I guess you put them on the front lines of Ryan shows, like a Call of Duty matchup. We know you can't shoot. Just block and. And take the.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker D:And then they're gonna say, well, it. Switch to non lethal rounds. I'm like, do you not see this?
Speaker C:Right?
Speaker A:What. What is. What is. Baby Gandolfini can always.
Speaker C:Oh, he went for. Oh, he went full Soprano.
Speaker A:Yeah, because when he's in that. When he's in that. That office setting and he Starts calling out. I'm like, oh, you've been doing your work.
You found out that they're like, oh, you found that they've been stashing money and you bought the black man.
Speaker C:Oh, if that.
Speaker A:You put your big boy pants, you.
Speaker C:Put your people a graduate from the Wilson Fisk school of business because he came in there, taco meat out. Just forget to get a belt. Forget about the suspenders and just hiking up the pants. I said, you know what?
Speaker A:All.
Speaker C:All you're missing is Paulie from the Sopranos to come in and tell you some bad news. You basically him.
Speaker A:But uk, he came, he out the gate and he looks at Buck and says, what was it again, Buck? And Buck says, $540,000 in offshore accounts and such as. He's like, yeah, we. We got to meet up sometime. And real estate. That's a good place.
I'm like, dude, yeah, she got real quiet. He got quiet.
Speaker E:The funny thing was, you saw all suspenders, no belt. I couldn't help but giggle when I'm talking. I like, really?
Speaker C:All suspenders, no belt at the same time. I'm sorry.
Speaker A:Buttons on buttons.
Speaker C:If anybody is job security and born again is Buck.
Speaker A:Oh, once again, I've said it this entire. This entire time we've covered it. Buck is in rooms that you just. He's. You don't pay attention that he's in the room. You really don't.
Like, he's sitting back just enough that you realize, oh, wait, he was there. I seen a body, but I just wasn't paying no attention.
Speaker C:He goes about his business. What you need, boss? I need this problem taken care of.
Speaker A:And you had one. You had one slip up that really wasn't your fault.
Speaker C:Bad timing.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:It's like missed. Missed attempt to give Matt Poison zero stars.
Speaker A:I went to the room, guy was gone. He wasn't there.
Speaker D:Daniel is very much giving J.D. vance vibes, like this entire show.
Speaker C:Yeah, man. Since you. Since you said that, I've been trying.
Speaker D:To figure out what it is, and I'm like, right, it's the same level of conniving, sniveling and like, oh, no, but he's right. The amount of levels of. I want to fit in so bad. I mean, one. One guy leaks some important information, the other one breaks a national trophy.
It's like the same.
Speaker C:But. But he. But he's 100, right? Ever since the far. I said that, I can't get that out of my head.
Speaker A:Literally. The parallels of this, of this show and what's Currently going on, and you're just like, this makes no sense.
Speaker E:But I still like Cheetos, so I don't know how to feel about that.
Speaker F:Yeah, but at least they have competence in that universe.
Speaker A:Yeah, I was going to say, yeah.
Speaker F:At least there's confidence.
Speaker A:At least Wilson Fix knows what he's doing. He's like. He knows what. It's. What he enjoys, and.
Speaker F:And at least learning the rules of the game instead of just flipping the goddamn board.
Speaker A:We were moving millions before through Red Hook. Now with me being mayor, we can remove billions. That's smart.
Speaker D:And now we have Harvard money in a cage, multiple cages. Like, imagine just like, hey, I'll donate to the money, and you got to sit here anyway. Like, what is the bathroom routine? Like, is everybody just.
No ac. Just. I know you're gonna grab me. Can I grab, like, some sweats or something? I'm not gonna be sitting down here in a pantsuit for, like, six months.
That my name. I'm not Adam.
Speaker A:That. That scene.
Speaker D:You know what? Never mind. Adam at least got a mattress.
Speaker A:Yeah, that scene. That scene of seeing everybody in cages. We. When we did the live stream, we said we was just like, not the cages. Not. Damn.
Like, geek by heart was shocked. She was like, oh, my God.
Speaker C:All. All his. All his enemies. He sat there and said, I have taken care of all obstacles, and every one of my enemies is sitting right there in my.
's admire this. Frank Castle,: Speaker A:It's definitely. It's Frank here. This is what's funny. It's Matt and Frank showing up in each other's places of. Of residence. Like, they got house keys.
Like, Matt shows up earlier in a couple episodes earlier. He's like, hey, I was tracking you down, or I knew where you were at. He's like, what are you doing here? Like, you're mad at him, but you.
You respect him enough to call him Red. You don't call him out by name.
Speaker C:But you could have some coffee, though. He said all this.
Speaker A:Of all the things, why doesn't he.
Speaker F:Have coffee in his apartment? But for serious, that is a red flag.
Speaker E:Maybe he's a tea person.
Speaker C:You know, he did say what he did say. All I got is tea. He says, nah. He's like, hey, we're about to. We're about. He said, you know. You said, you know we about to have company, right?
Yeah, I Clocked him a while back. You still ain't got no coffee, though.
Speaker A:Though. Like, they hate each other, but they don't hate each other.
Speaker E:They are seriously Felix Unger. Oscar Madison.
Speaker C:Yes.
Speaker E:Literally, you just. You can tell who's who. That's not like.
Speaker A:Like, I can't stand you. But we got work to do, and I tr. And I trust that you're gonna have my back. I'm not even worried about it.
Speaker C:Hey, but Frank said, look, if you think I'm gonna play patty cake with him, I'm not. Yeah. As he's got the knife and he.
Speaker A:Didn'T even debate him. He was just like, this guy, whatever. We got work to do, you know, fine.
Speaker E:It. Let's go.
Speaker D:And it's New York. So nobody questioned the blind man walking how many blocks in a. A hospital gown, man, did he just fast.
Speaker C:Did he fast travel from the hospital to the apartment unscathed?
Speaker G:One thing New Yorkers are gonna do is mine.
Speaker E:Yeah. Business.
Speaker G:We will mind our business.
Speaker D:I'll never forget when. What was it? It's the Everybody Hates Chris episode when they do the blackout and the lights cut out and everybody just loses their.
My dad wants my TV and just goes, yep, it's like that. And just keeps going about his day. And so when they show the riots, I'm like, all right, this is saying.
Speaker A:This ain't got no mind in my black ass business.
Speaker D:Time to gain some discount electronics.
Speaker C:See, this is where. This is where Turk with thrive right now. He says, shoot, blackout where?
Speaker D:That's who I need to come back. I've been waiting for that dude to show up.
Speaker A:Like, left when he. When that stuff went down in Harlem. He said, y'all worse than Hell's Kitchen. I'm not here. I'm gone. Off the top of the building. He was like, I'm out.
Speaker D:Like, if Turk was to come back and become the man on the street for the next season and be the way, like, everybody can get information, I would be. I thought that was Turk Loki locked up in the first couple episodes, but then I realized, oh, different person.
Speaker A:But that's the thing. Turk is the man on the street. Like, he's always been the man on the street.
Speaker E:Sandwich, bruh.
Speaker G:There we go.
Speaker E:Okay, don't do that again. Don't. Don't do that no more.
Speaker D:Yeah, yeah, Turk. Turk and Claire were like our two connecting people for everybody. Defenders, things. I. I would like one of those two to come back.
Speaker A:It'll be Turk.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker A:In comics and comics. Turk, I swear to God, every time Daredevil needed information. Turk was getting tossed through a window by him.
Speaker C:Yep.
Speaker A:He was his informant. And it was always at Josie's. It was like he. Josie's windows have seen better days.
Speaker D:That insurance policy has got. You live in New York. Your insurance has got to be crazy. Crazy.
Speaker F:It is.
Speaker E:You mentioned called the insurance adjustment. Yeah. How you doing, guys?
Speaker A:Yeah. It happened again.
Speaker C:Insurance companies must be having a field day in New York. That's all I can say.
Speaker D:And even then, what do you do when. How do you explain bombing a blind man's apartment? Like, because you could hear them say, we found Daredevil. We didn't find Murdoch.
So, like, his cover is clear at least. But also, Frank, prank the drama queen, because why did you shoot through the window and then walk through the open door?
Like, right after I peeped that on the second watch? Like, you could have just walked in and just did that. But no, you had to break the glass and make it dramatic. Not walk through the glass.
You walked around the broken window. It's like Billy and man, when he opens the window and then jumps through the glass anyway.
Speaker A:But this is what this. This show has just managed to really stand out in ways. I can't say it enough. I've never seen anybody lose a groin to a knife.
Hey, that's violent, fast. And here's the thing. That wasn't even the killing blow. That wasn't even the killing blow. He was just like, no. Stab, stab, groin, rip.
Oh, wait, let me cut your throat first.
Speaker C:My whole thing is, you gonna. You see this man coming at you with just a knife. You have a riot shield.
This man flipped over your riot shield as you're holding it, and then proceeds to Swiss cheese you as you are still holding the riot shield while your buddy right next to you is keeping him locked in as you are getting stabbed to death. I would be pissed if I was the person getting stabbed and someone is watching my ass getting skewered.
Speaker A:I don't know why they thought they could take that man on because he knew exactly. He knows exactly where to shoot. Pay attention where he's shooting. He's not point blank. He's.
He's shooting shoulders, arms, neck, shooting down by the. Underneath the vest.
Speaker C:Underneath the vest. I felt bad for old boy on the table. He got the worst because you saw that bullet trajectory.
Speaker A:I'm like, oh, yeah, that. What did Matt say? He said, frank, no, that's enough, Pop.
Speaker D:I'm like, I think you got him Between. Between the.
Speaker A:The.
Speaker D:The stand up curb stomp, which throwing him like nose first into the corner of a table so that everything broke. And then all the extra bullets. I'm just like, we're just wasting ammo at this point.
Speaker F:He's got it for waste.
Speaker A:Like exactly. He knows what he's doing. Armory.
Speaker D:It's then the discussion after. He's like, all right. He's like, he's not worth it.
Speaker C:Bang.
Speaker D:What about him? Was he worth it at that point? If you're gonna not kill.
Speaker A:Those scenes alone. Those scenes alone, right?
Speaker D:If you want to bring that cop back, that's fine. I wouldn't say kill him. Make sure the streets know he's done.
Speaker A:My theory about him is gone way out the window. No pun intended.
Speaker D:What if. I mean if he survived the grenade, I would say his let him survive. But make sure the streets know that he is the one who killed Hector.
Like let Hector's people handle him. Like at this point, if we're building an army and street justice is not going to be a thing.
Let it start with him getting got by the people he pissed off.
Speaker C:Right?
Speaker D:Look.
Speaker A:Bam.
Speaker D:But Spider man was somewhere asleep during all this. Pete was in bed, right?
Speaker A:Yeah. He's just like, that is not my fight. No, that. That I'm. That's probably the only hang up about that episode I had. Like we said earlier was.
Was Colin north being the. The fall guy? I guess. Yeah. Of the whole thing. And I'm just. And like you said, far. I don't see how they. How Frank put two and two together.
You know, y'all already running around with his. With his insignia on your chest.
Speaker D:The bullet case.
Speaker C:Yeah, but that's the thing.
Speaker A:Like how did you know it was his bullet casing? You know? How do you know everybody didn't have that?
Speaker E:Because Frank wouldn't be that sloppy anyway. Frank wouldn't be that sloppy.
Speaker A:No.
Speaker C:Frank.
Speaker A:Right. So it is just. I'm like, ah. I was like the guy I really wanted to get it ain't there. Like that damn Officer Powell.
Speaker C:And this one makes the. The Punisher special. So interesting. Either they're gonna get in the Punisher special or they're gonna get gotten daredevil.
One of the two is bound to.
Speaker A:Happen because they already said that season two will be back in March and then shortly after that will be that Punisher special. And I'm just like, oh, this is gonna be glorious. Because we see everything that's going on. Because once again Frank is facing off with a bunch of.
Of the violent of the anti vigilante task force.
Speaker C:Right?
Speaker A:And he's really getting the hand. The upper hand on a lot of them. He's putting them the waste. To the point they're just like, we gotta jump this dude, because he is. We.
We were supposed to have him cornered, and it's not working.
Speaker C:I just love that Jason Bourne moment. Just like, it's like, oh, it's really him. I was like, y'all. Y'all thought this dude was a myth. He did smooth go walking up to him.
It's like, y'all still gonna stand your ground knowing who this man is.
Speaker A:Wow.
Speaker D:It's the way they turned them into a bunch of red shirts, and they're like, hey, set your. Your guns on stun. It's like, yeah, no. Like, has no one. Did no one catch the dude he skewered outside, like, Mortal Kombat style. Like, the. The.
The episode turned into a sin city for a second. There was no color except the blood.
Speaker C:You ain't lying.
Speaker D:Hitting him with all these little. Yeah, hit him with all these little firecracker rounds that weren't doing. I'm just like.
Speaker A:They shot him in the back with his shotgun. I'm like, you think that.
Speaker F:How you walking?
Speaker C:How you stand up?
Speaker D:He's got his armor legit.
Speaker C:Holy. That vest was wholly anointed twice.
Speaker A:He's like, all. It knocked him down. It didn't do nothing else. It was just not. It stung him. It didn't do much.
It knocked him over a little bit because he was handling y'all. Oh, yeah.
Speaker E:You look aggravated. My bad. I'm sorry.
Speaker D:While you're bleeding out and could be saved. And you see that they're having a whole circle initiation trying to get this man to join the team.
Speaker A:Like, he's like, we look up to you.
Speaker D:You know, those people at your job are not your friends.
Speaker C:Remember that Intervention.
Speaker F:What are we doing? This is not. I'm not having the come to Jesus talk.
Speaker D:I thought he was about to, like. I thought he was about to, like, Batman. These are actually, like, sharp. I don't know, arm things and break out and just Hulk out on everything.
Speaker A:I thought he was gonna. I was like, if he in zip ties, it's a rap.
Speaker D:If I see him doing this at all. I know. All right. It's about to be up for everybody here. But I think they're saving.
Speaker A:They wouldn't be prepared because they're not all they got on their vest. If he was to break out of that. All they got on her vest, they would not have walked out of there.
Speaker C:Pretty much.
Speaker A:He was just like, because Frank don't need no gun or knife.
Speaker C:I mean, he's kind of a little bit more merciful with a knife. But.
Speaker A:If he was to break out that chair, that's all you need. Leg on that chair broke. Okay, that's. Yeah, I guess you done. It's a rat. It's. It's done. So, yeah, this. This. This episode was like, extremely intense.
And pal trying to recruit him. I'm like, are you really trying to. Are you serious right now?
Speaker F:When I didn't want no members? What you mean? Come to you?
Speaker A:Right?
Speaker F:How does that work.
Speaker C:With you? With you. Y'all trying to emulate me?
Speaker E:Getting that up and down, like, mess around.
Speaker A:And then you toss him in the cage with swordsmen and several other people who of influence, who didn't have enough influence, who wouldn't join up with Kingpin.
Speaker C:And gave them all the reason in the world.
Speaker F:Hi, Mark.
Speaker A:Internally. And he's literally. Oh, yeah, you from Jersey.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker A:How did I know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. He talked him up. Yeah. I just want to shake your hand.
Speaker D:Don't. Don't.
Speaker A:Don't do that.
Speaker F:Do you. Did you not read the manual?
Speaker C:That was that collect. That was that collective. Oh, oh, you're about to. You're about to die.
Speaker E:So the double chain cuffs from the top of the cage weren't a giveaway.
Speaker D:That he Fact that y'all let them reach that far. Clearly. Clearly you all.
Speaker A:He's the only one that got chained up in the cave. Everybody else just is trapped in the cage. This guy.
Speaker D:Between. Between Copying how the Mers Escape Prison and Invincible and the Head Squish. Look what Disney needs to mimic a fraction of our power.
Speaker A:This man said, I'm going to break your hand. And then I'm going to pull your arm in and break that. And then I'm going to get those TE's off of you.
Speaker C:Then when all said and done, how did Frank get out? Let's talk to henchmen. That's missing arms.
Speaker E:I'm gonna break your arm again.
Speaker D:If he's alive to tell the tale, right?
Speaker F:Not a lot. He's going. He's better not be alive.
Speaker A:Frank stomped that dude out. He's not alive.
Speaker D:Also fresh. Fresh face shave. Frank, what we and Karen got going on over here.
Speaker C:Oh, I. I heard your two heartbeats while y'all in the room.
Speaker A:He said.
Speaker F:Oh.
Speaker A:He said, fresh shave and aftershave that for me, Frank.
Speaker C:Wow.
Speaker D:You're gonna fight. You're gonna fight these boys with your ass out.
Speaker A:Well, I love. I love Their dynamic because it's just like you. You have one willing to kill and one trying his best not to, but you're gonna be named at best.
Speaker C:I'm sorry, at that point, the no kill rules. Getting suspended for a while.
Speaker F:You blew up my downtown apartment.
Speaker A:Like, you know how much these things cost.
Speaker D:You know what?
Speaker F:I got to explain my renovated Hell's Kitchen out an open layout apartment. You're all the. Everybody. Everybody's putting in on this.
Speaker A:I do cases pro bono. Do you know what the strings I had to pull for this? Oh, my God. I probably did a case for the landlord. You think? I've got to get a security deposit.
Not deposit back.
Speaker C:No. Right?
Speaker A:No, it's. No, this. This definitely is the show's 10 out of 10.
Speaker C:Oh, yeah.
Speaker A:Definitely a 10 out of 10 from the writing, the cinematography. Just. There's even the scene with. With Bullseye when he's already out in hiding. There's even that shot where he's standing in front of the.
The window, the broken window. It's like the Punisher skull. Yeah, it's. It's just. Just. I'm like, yo, this is. Y'all really did your thing. Yeah, you're right. It's. It's.
It's the perfect. It's definitely perfect. They're the perfect.
Speaker C:Yeah, but still crazy, though. This is why. This is why season two is going to be nice. But again, we don't need Finn Jones, though. Iron Fist can stay where Iron Frisk is.
Staying clean. That's all I'm saying.
Speaker F:I feel like they're gonna let him back. I really.
Speaker A:There's on conditions. On conditions.
Speaker C:Martial Arts signed off on him.
Speaker A:They gonna get like, unconditional. Simulu is over here right now. He's a martial artist. Get your butt over there, train with him.
Speaker C:That's almost there. And say who. Which Martial Arts signed off on him before we go. We might let you back.
Speaker A:So I, I'm. I'm looking forward to it. In the meantime, go back and watch previous seasons. Go back, watch this season. You'll see like, they didn't miss a beat.
They did not miss a beat. I'm glad. I'm glad they made them rewrite it. I'm so glad they made. I don't know what we would have gotten, but I'm glad they made them rewrite it.
Speaker D:The suit that we've seen leaked for season two.
Speaker A:That's what he was wearing in Shadowland.
Speaker D:Yeah, that too. But also that's what he's wearing. And your friend, the neighborhood of Spider man, isn't it?
Speaker C:Yes. It was also black and red.
Speaker A:And that's him. Yeah, he's voice. And he's also doing a voice there.
Speaker D:So something about their voice direction, I can. It don't. I know it's the same actor, but it's like, if y'all don't tell me, I wouldn't know. Like, what if.
I know had a lot of, like, covered production problems, but every other show lately, it's like, I wouldn't know. It's something about the way y'all mix and master the cartoons. It's like it's them, but it isn't.
Speaker A:Yeah, yeah, it's. It's definitely them.
People were having, like, theories already running rampant about, like, oh, he's got the black suit on, so he's probably gonna get an army. He's gonna get the hand. I don't think he that cool with the hand like that.
Speaker C:He's not. He's not gonna be. He's not gonna go for the hand. But again, you have. You have people that. That want to get even.
And let's not forget BB might have actually gotten that information from the police commissioner. She's still wild card and all this.
Speaker A:Yeah. I hope she knows to lay a little lower because. Because Gallo getting. Getting dejawed. Yeah.
Speaker D:How do you say he resigned? You could have easily said, like, hey, he was lost in the tragedy of the blackout, like you, that.
Speaker A:That you should have said that because this man is dead. You do realize he's got a family.
Speaker D:He's got a family and a side family looking for him.
Speaker C:All I gotta say, it's gonna be an interesting funeral.
Speaker A:Like, he resigned.
Speaker D:Definitely closed casket, close gasket. But who was another people that look like Daddy. What you mean? We his real kids?
Speaker E:I got nothing else.
Speaker A:A whole nother dynamic.
Speaker C:Right.
Speaker A:But yeah, definitely, definitely a show to watch. It does have you on the edge of the seat. I like this gritty noir vibe. This. This is Marvel Knights.
This is definitely Marvel Knights, which I missed that. That run of comics. Marvel Knights, like, it was all street level stuff, and it was good street level stuff.
So, yeah, I'm glad they're, you know, people to say, oh, we want to see Daredevil with the Avengers. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker F:Not yet. Y'all ain't earned that.
Speaker A:Yeah, yeah, let's keep these cats. Spider man is probably the only one who can. Who can travel between both worlds. Yeah, he can do the street level stuff.
He can do the Avengers stuff stuff, you know, he's probably the only one who's balanced that being and can get away with it, but we don't. We. We don't even need him for that. Keep this strictly street level. Get the defenders back in there. This street level.
Speaker D:It'll be interesting if. Next. Are you looking at Marvel News or D or Star wars news? Yeah, yeah.
Speaker E:The celebration is.
Speaker D:We're getting. There's. The info dump is coming out right now. Yeah, but it would be.
Speaker F:I'm sorry, I don't. I don't particularly care about this particular actor. I'm just shocked. Why is Ryan Gosling in my Star Wars?
Speaker D:I was waiting for her to see that. I was hoping. I was hoping we'd run out. I was hoping we would hit time before she caught it. I was wrong.
Speaker A:Well, I mean, he's the actor or not the. The director that he's standing.
Speaker D:He just can leave him alone. See, I haven't seen that movie, so I haven't either. I just know the jokes.
But, yeah, it'd be interesting to see if we get Peter the full ground level.
Peter to where even some of the cops, he's got to look out for now because he can save the day, but some will still try to put a bullet in him without a second's notice.
Speaker A:Yeah, yeah. It's enough. Is. I need. I need Disney to pull Sony's whole card.
Speaker D:Oh, my God. Especially if the cop is a Punisher unit and Mysterio fanboy.
Speaker A:Yeah, I need them. I need them to pull that card and say, you know what? You're the only chess piece on the board.
Speaker C:I'm not. I've got about something else.
Speaker A:What?
Speaker C:If this is the way to bring back Jigsaw.
Speaker A:Or. Or. Or introduce Jigsaw.
Speaker C:Well, technically, he's not dead. From the Netflix series.
Speaker A:Oh, oh, wait. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker C:From the Netflix series. He's still around.
Speaker A:What?
Speaker C:What's wrong? Kira. What?
Speaker A:It's the Star wars stuff.
Speaker F:Sean Levy is directing the movie with Ryan Gosling, and it's called Starfighter. Sean Levy is.
Speaker D:Who did.
Speaker A:That's when. That's who was standing next to him when he was out there.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker D:Wait, didn't they. Didn't he, like, put five in Jigsaw's chest?
Speaker C:You're annoyed he didn't kill him.
Speaker E:You were annoyed he did.
Speaker C:He did. He did shoot Jigsaw. He even made a, well, mess of his face, but he didn't kill him.
Speaker D:Because when they have season two of Punisher, he's like, oh, my God. Frank is. You Dang, dang, dang, dang, dang. And that's like the end of it. It was so anticlimactic.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker A:I mean, it's Frank. Like, Frank ain't got time for pleasantries.
Speaker D:Right.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:Here's the thing about it. I mean, you could bring jigsaw. You could bring in barracuda. You could do. You could even actually do Nikki Cabella. But I doubt he'll do.
It's a whole nother story, but I doubt they'll do that one.
Speaker D:People are looking for refuge and new drugs. I mean, Bushmaster's still alive. You can make up for killing off Cotton Mount so early.
Speaker C:There you go.
Speaker D:Damn.
Speaker A:That was. That was.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker D:I think. I think they didn't realize what they had because that was still the early, early phases. I think they didn't know that he was going to be such a.
Such a prominent character.
Speaker C:Yeah. So there's a lot. Yes. The last Star Wars Starfighter. I'm sorry. I just now caught it too. I thought.
Speaker A:Yeah, we're like. We're double watching here.
Speaker D:Same thing with Kilgrave. Like, he not saying the show peaked, but the episode they brought him back.
Speaker C:Is like a memory because you did the best. You took the best person for Jessica Jones and you basically made two seasons about it and then you killed them all.
David Tennant playing the purple Man.
Speaker A:Or. Or did they.
Speaker C:That is true.
Speaker A:Because how Jessica Jones ended.
Speaker C:That is true.
Speaker D:Well, he's still like a mental apparition, but those are the best parts of the seasons after they kill him off. But I think that was cool. I think bring. I don't. He's definitely not coming back. Jerry Hogarth, definitely. I'm surprised.
Hasn't made her return with all the right between her and she Hulk. I feel like they would end up making a racket in the defense. Defense market because Jerry's in recruited with Val in the legal department.
Speaker C:But that's the whole thing with Devil's Reign, though, because they're double thug in the army and it does involve the defenders. It does involve Spider Man. You do see Sam's Captain America jump in it at some points. So the possibilities.
And I said, this is what's going to make season two be.
Be built up the same way season one has been built up because now you're wondering who's going to join the ranks and will Marvel pull the trigger on Spider Man. Will we see a Tom Holland or. Or dare I say, will we see another Spider Man? I'll. I'll even throw that. I'll even throw that wrench in there.
Will we get a Spider Man? But will we get the Andrew Garfield or will we get the what's his face? I can't think of his name. Save my life right now. Toper. Grace. Thank you.
No, that's over, Grace. Toby McGuire.
Speaker A:Thank you.
Speaker C:Toby Maguire. I mean, that's my whole thing. Because here's the thing. We would. We would lose our collective heads if you saw Spider.
If we saw our Spider man in a daredevil board again, season two, you. We lose our minds because we keep on saying Spider man could be introduced in any other vehicle. And yet they've kind of avoided doing that other.
Speaker A:Other than what Fisk has mentioned, as I said.
Speaker C:Right, right. But. But I know. I definitely know we're gonna get White Tiger because old girl's gonna don the medallion.
Speaker A:Yeah. I thought we were going to get more of her, to be honest with you.
Speaker D:Like when they brought her up at the end, I was like, right, we kind of forgot about you once the whole muse thing wrapped up.
Speaker C:Yeah, I think muse is gonna come back.
Speaker A:I don't know. Well, Matthew. Matthew Lillard has been picked up for the second season. We don't know what role.
Speaker C:Right.
Speaker D:Then we saw the back of so many black teenagers heads. I was like, yeah, is one of y'all miles? Are we just being teased at this.
Speaker A:Point, like, well, we're getting ready to wrap this one up. We look at the Star wars celebration Outlaws.
Speaker C:I'm looking at the merch because a white Vader, a white fortune. How much?
Speaker A:Got work to do. I don't think we need to sign off. Do we need to sign off? No. Follow everybody at the spot.

Speaker E:Well, I'm gonna go see it tomorrow, so relax.
