Exploring the Magical Realm of Black Women in Fantasy
The discussion centers around the profound significance of representation, particularly focusing on works by Black women authors within the realms of magic and fantasy. We delve into the cultural impact of series such as Wednesday Season 2, where the titular character navigates a world laced with dark humor and supernatural elements. Additionally, we explore the intriguing premise of Heads of State, featuring John Cena as President and Idris Elba as Prime Minister, juxtaposing comedic elements within a political framework. The conversation further extends to the Predator franchise, contemplating the chilling imagery presented in the Predator: Badlands trailer, where iconic trophies like The Engineer skulls and Kaiju references evoke a rich tapestry of intertextuality. Throughout our dialogue, we emphasize the importance of diverse narratives and the necessity of elevating underrepresented voices in speculative fiction.

Speaker A:Andrea Rose Washington is a author, she is a podcaster.
Speaker A:She is a writer of many things.
Speaker A:Trekkie, if I'm not mistaken.
Speaker B:I am a Trekkie, but I am no longer on the podcast, though, so.
Speaker A:Okay, okay.
Speaker A:Just making sure.
Speaker A:So I'm feeling Trekkie, and that's fine.
Speaker A:Like, look, for those who try to pit, put Trekkies against Star wars fans.
Speaker A:Shame on you.
Speaker B:Don't do that.
Speaker A:It's enough room for both fandoms.
Speaker A:I'm just gonna say that.
Speaker B:Wait, one is better.
Speaker B:Wait a minute.
Speaker B:What we doing?
Speaker A:It depends on what the project is.
Speaker A:That's what it is.
Speaker B:Oh, that's.
Speaker B:That's a little tough.
Speaker B:That's a little tough.
Speaker B:I don't know.
Speaker B:I just want to say.
Speaker B:Oh, one storyline sort of makes sense and one's just all over the place.
Speaker B:And I, I, I love.
Speaker B:I'm a.
Speaker B:I'm a Trekkie at heart forever.
Speaker A:Well, we're not talking about the one where they try to save the whales.
Speaker A:I'm just saying it was like, speaking of Star Trek.
Speaker A:Well, no, I'm kidding.
Speaker B:Like, this one force is the.
Speaker B:There's so much for Star Wars.
Speaker A:Of course, there's a lot of.
Speaker A:A lot of aliens to deal with, opposed to just staying on one ship.
Speaker A:That's what it is.
Speaker B:And going boldly where no one has gone before.
Speaker B:That's fine.
Speaker A:And we're all over the place.
Speaker A:So that's.
Speaker A:I mean, I get what you're saying, but we didn't in a good place.
Speaker A:What's going on?
Speaker A:Whoopty.
Speaker A:Freaking dudes in the building.
Speaker A:What's going on?
Speaker B:Whoopty.
Speaker A:Hello.
Speaker A:I need to ask our guests, I don't know if you've seen Sinners yet.
Speaker B:I have not.
Speaker B:I have, but I am not afraid of spoilers, and I actively love them because my anxiety goes crazy.
Speaker B:So I have watched a lot of it on Tick Tock on purpose.
Speaker B:I have seen so many scenes, and I'm like, okay.
Speaker B:When I go to the theater, I will not.
Speaker B:I will not cry.
Speaker A:You will not be disappointed.
Speaker A:You definitely would not be like, oh, my God.
Speaker B:You might.
Speaker B:Honestly, you might.
Speaker B:Oh, it's not that scary.
Speaker B:It's not that kind.
Speaker A:No, no, no, no.
Speaker B:I didn't know that, but now I know that, so I'm like, okay, okay, okay, okay.
Speaker B:It's gonna be amazing because I can watch it all the way through without.
Speaker A:Going, yes, it's It's.
Speaker A:It's.
Speaker A:It's a.
Speaker A:I'm finding myself to be a cinephile.
Speaker A:And it's a kind of.
Speaker A:It's a must see.
Speaker A:It's a must see film.
Speaker A:If you are a fan of cinematography, this is a must see film.
Speaker A:If you are a fan of symbolism, this is a must see film.
Speaker A:If you're a fan of black folks, this is a must see film.
Speaker A:So.
Speaker A:So we kind of hit all the marks, you know, if you're a fan of vampires and erotic stuff, yeah, this is the must see.
Speaker A:You got to go see it, you know?
Speaker A:So I want to shout out fantastic Frankie, because I've seen a post she did earlier, and I loved how she addressed the eroticism.
Speaker A:She said, there.
Speaker A:There's.
Speaker A:They addressed this, the sex and the eroticism without having nudity.
Speaker A:And I said, you know what?
Speaker A:You're right.
Speaker A:And it's the way they address it.
Speaker A:And I said, you know what?
Speaker A:I picked up on that.
Speaker A:And it's like, you don't.
Speaker A:You know it, but you don't.
Speaker A:And I'm glad they didn't go that full Monty money shot situation, because it wasn't necessary.
Speaker A:There's.
Speaker A:There's films we've seen where it's like, yeah, this didn't do anything for the story.
Speaker A:No at all.
Speaker B:Usually comes at the expense of the women.
Speaker B:Like, the men.
Speaker A:Yes.
Speaker A:As.
Speaker A:As fantastic Frankie said.
Speaker A:She was like, all tit, no beef, just like.
Speaker A:Okay, Andrea.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker A:Let's get to you.
Speaker A:You are a writer or author.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker A:However you want to dress.
Speaker B:Either is fine.
Speaker A:You have either.
Speaker A:Fine.
Speaker A:Now, I know you have two books out right now.
Speaker A:A Mentor's Magic and A Mentor's Magic.
Speaker A:The Last Air book too.
Speaker A:Let's talk about these two books.
Speaker B:So, yes, I gave you two of my books.
Speaker B:I do have more, but I would take up the entire time just talking about all my books.
Speaker B:I was like, I'll do the ones that are the most popular.
Speaker B:That's what you're here for, ma'am.
Speaker B:I also want to talk about some other stuff that I saw.
Speaker B:So I was like, you know what?
Speaker B:Let's give everyone everything.
Speaker A:She's being fair and gracious.
Speaker A:I like that.
Speaker B:But Amatree's Magic, Book one and two is one of.
Speaker B:It's like that book.
Speaker B:When everyone asks me what my favorite book is, I can never answer.
Speaker B:Because, you know, it's like you.
Speaker B:If you have children, you can never say which one you love the most.
Speaker B:Everyone has a favorite.
Speaker B:No one says it out loud.
Speaker A:But this is true.
Speaker B:But I You love them in different ways.
Speaker B:I have a book that made me an.
Speaker B:That made me an authority.
Speaker B:I have the book that I grew the most.
Speaker B:Writing it put me through the most.
Speaker B:And then I have the book that was just fun, and it was so much fun.
Speaker B:And that's Amateur's Magic Book 1 and 2.
Speaker B:I.
Speaker B:I was working in D.C.
Speaker B:when I came up with the idea out of all my characters, Olivia London, she's the unbound witch.
Speaker B:She's the main character in this story.
Speaker B:She's the most like me.
Speaker B:She handles things the way that I would the.
Speaker B:In the most random way if I had magic.
Speaker B:And I just.
Speaker B:I just love that story.
Speaker B:So that's why I decided to give that one to you guys today, because Olivia, she is me, and I am her.
Speaker A:I love how you just said that Olivia is the unbound witch, and I said, that's kind of a cool title to walk around with.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker A:So Olivia, I'm the unbound one, but we've heard about you.
Speaker B:Unbound witches and unbound magicals or witches, they are people who are live without a coven.
Speaker B:In D.C.
Speaker B:there is the hierarchy, where you have the elites, people who are in the covens, and the people who are not.
Speaker B:And I got this idea walking across Congress, and I.
Speaker B:Because I would pass it, going to my office, and I would just think of that Hamilton song room where it happens, and I'm like, there is so much that is happening in this city that no one will ever see, that some people that I, a person who has lived in this area my entire life, will never see, will never be a part of.
Speaker B:And that's sort of that.
Speaker B:That's where amateurs comes from.
Speaker B:It's the world of D.C.
Speaker B:that you don't get to see because you don't have magic.
Speaker B:And it is about Olivia London.
Speaker B:She's an unbound witch.
Speaker B:And then the owner of the shop where she works is.
Speaker B:Is murdered by a cult, and she's thrown into the underground coven system that she wants nothing to do with.
Speaker B:And in that process, she knows, like, it's sort of thrust upon her to save the day, but she's actively fighting main character syndrome.
Speaker B:She's like, hold up.
Speaker B:I have a life plan for myself, and it does not involve this.
Speaker B:I.
Speaker B:I'm gonna let y'all handle this.
Speaker B:I'm just trying to run a shop for other people like me.
Speaker B:She's trying to be a community, someone in her community to help other unbound witches and magicals and beings that are, like, cast out from the coven system.
Speaker B:She has A plan for her life, and it does not involve mixing with the politics and it's sort of being thrown on her.
Speaker B:And this is how she's sort of handling it.
Speaker B:And so I have one more coming in that series, but it is, it is my most favorite.
Speaker A:I'm not gonna hold you.
Speaker A:That is every making of a heroin or hero y.
Speaker A:It's literally like I'm minding my own business.
Speaker A:I help people whenever I can, and then I'm back in the shadows.
Speaker A:I, I don't want the praise, I don't want the accolades.
Speaker A:I'm just doing the right thing and something major always happens.
Speaker A:And it's like, look, I'm not.
Speaker A:It's Jon Snow.
Speaker A:Like, I'm not trying to be king.
Speaker A:I don't want to be king.
Speaker A:Yeah, but you're the best fit, you know, so it's, it's one of those things.
Speaker A:Lady Mandela question.
Speaker B:I, I think I want to know more about the, the book.
Speaker B:I don't know how much more you can give away.
Speaker B:I'm intrigued.
Speaker B:I, I.
Speaker B:To say that.
Speaker B:I say that to say I am intrigued.
Speaker B:No, I can tell you so much more.
Speaker B:People tell me.
Speaker B:So my book, I like to keep them near me.
Speaker B:Near and dear.
Speaker B:Love the COVID It like instantly would have been like, oh, piece of candy.
Speaker B:What is this?
Speaker A:I'm gonna show.
Speaker A:I'm gonna show it again so the people can see it too.
Speaker B:Yeah, those covers.
Speaker A:Love the hair.
Speaker A:Love the hair.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:So I, I am not natural with my hair, but I wanted my characters to be.
Speaker B:I'm just too tender headed and lazy and I, But I love it and I appreciate it and I, I've.
Speaker B:It's so beautiful.
Speaker B:And so I was like, well, I'm going to give my character the thing that I don't have for myself, which is natural hair.
Speaker B:So her hair is out.
Speaker B:It is beautiful.
Speaker B:She does not do like, she maintains it, and I love it.
Speaker B:And I live vicariously through her.
Speaker B:So if I was natural and had more patience and understanding, I would be.
Speaker B:I would have that hair understood and accepted.
Speaker B:Yes.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:I, I see what it takes to have that beautiful crown.
Speaker B:And I, it is a journey.
Speaker B:I don't even like wrapping my hair sometimes.
Speaker B:So you know where that's where we're at.
Speaker B:But this story, this story takes place in different parts of D.C.
Speaker B:and in Maryland.
Speaker B:It really focuses on Olivia finding herself.
Speaker B:So my main character, she grew up in the foster care system.
Speaker B:She didn't have access to a lot that a lot of people in the covens had.
Speaker B:She didn't know she was magical until she was a teenager.
Speaker B:And she really had a really great mentor who was like, who?
Speaker B:Mrs.
Speaker B:Coe, who is the owner of the magical supply shop, who truly guides her and helps her and is like, a sec.
Speaker B:Is.
Speaker B:Is like basically her mother.
Speaker B:The closest thing that Olivia has to a mother figure, to a mother.
Speaker B:That is who Mrs.
Speaker B:Ko is.
Speaker B:And I actually.
Speaker B:Actually based her, the older version of her, off of my grandmother, because Mrs.
Speaker B:Coe is that woman who took care of the people around her, who took care of her community, who helped anyone who was in need.
Speaker B:Who.
Speaker B:You need $20, honey?
Speaker B:Grandma, I got a job.
Speaker B:I'm good.
Speaker B:Like, you don't need money.
Speaker B:Take the $20.
Speaker B:Yeah, okay, I'll take the money.
Speaker B:I'll take the money.
Speaker B:I'm not gonna argue with you.
Speaker B:You're 100.
Speaker B:I'm not gonna.
Speaker B:Like, you literally are 100.
Speaker B:And so that's who Mrs.
Speaker B:Co was.
Speaker B:And she saw Olivia as a teenager, saw that she had no idea the life that she was a part of, and decides to take her in and decides to help her and is truly loves and cares.
Speaker B:Cares about this girl, but she also doesn't want to, like, trap her into a life.
Speaker B:She, like, forces her to get a job outside of the.
Speaker B:Outside of the shop, to meet people, to make her.
Speaker B:To make connections.
Speaker B:And Olivia is.
Speaker B:No.
Speaker B:She says, I'm gonna go to work.
Speaker B:I'm gonna go home.
Speaker B:I'm gonna hang out with my two friends because all y'all people are too much.
Speaker B:Like, I don't trust y'all.
Speaker B:Like, I.
Speaker B:I'll work with y'all.
Speaker B:Yeah, yeah, go ahead, co workers.
Speaker B:Go on your paint and sip and leave me alone.
Speaker B:It's cool.
Speaker B:Because I don't trust y'all anyway.
Speaker B:I'm gonna go home with my friend, and we're gonna drink wine in my apartment and have fun.
Speaker B:That's who Olivia is.
Speaker B:She minds.
Speaker B:Minds her business, gets her job done.
Speaker B:And during that time in my life when I was writing that, that's how I was.
Speaker B:I didn't really connect with a lot of my co workers.
Speaker B:Not because anything was wrong, but we just didn't really.
Speaker B:You know, you don't get along with everyone.
Speaker B:That doesn't mean any.
Speaker B:They're.
Speaker B:It doesn't mean anyone's wrong.
Speaker A:Your co workers are your co workers, and.
Speaker A:And that's where the line draws.
Speaker B:That's where nutrition state the way it should be.
Speaker B:Like, you have those few people who you connect with, and they become like your family, but for the most part, you go to work to make the check.
Speaker B:And so that's how Olivia viewed it.
Speaker B:And she's like, I have my friends at home.
Speaker B:Like, yeah, sometimes it's nice to be invited some places, but for the most part, we're from two different worlds, and we don't understand each other.
Speaker B:And I'm not trying to cross over to your world, and you sure as heck is not trying to cross over into mine.
Speaker B:And she knows that, and that's.
Speaker B:And she's like, I'm not trying to become like you guys.
Speaker B:I have my own world where I fit in, that I'm gonna stay in my lane and do my thing, because this is what I love.
Speaker B:And so as the story progressed, that sort of breaks for her.
Speaker B:She's forced to interact with people on the other side of the world, people in the covens.
Speaker B:You have those who want to support her, and then you have those who are just like, who said you can be on this side of the tracks?
Speaker B:Like, what are you doing?
Speaker B:Who do you think you are?
Speaker B:And so there's a couple more secrets that are revealed that I can't tell you guys about, naturally.
Speaker A:Go buy the book, people.
Speaker B:Yes, go buy the books.
Speaker B:If you want them signed in purple ink, you can get them from my website.
Speaker B:Just saying, if it's not in purple, it's not from me.
Speaker B:Purple wig.
Speaker B:But she.
Speaker B:She has this really great circle of friends that are around her, and I just really wanted to focus on that, and I wanted to focus on that main character who actively fought against being main character.
Speaker B:Because, you know, sometimes you read those stories where the heroine's like, we gotta stop them.
Speaker B:It's wrong what they're doing.
Speaker B:We like, if I have to lead the way, I will.
Speaker B:She's like, okay, look, I agree what they're doing is wrong, but you're the police.
Speaker B:Handle it like, right.
Speaker B:What were y'all doing before I got here?
Speaker B:Like, this is your job.
Speaker B:This is not on me, where they're after you.
Speaker B:You're the police.
Speaker B:Do your job.
Speaker B:And so she has that mentality.
Speaker B:And so it was sort of fun writing the Reluctant Hero because sometimes, you know, in life, you know, when your job gives you that more work with no extra pay, and you're just like, huh.
Speaker A:Yeah, I know.
Speaker B:I'm capable.
Speaker A:I'm good.
Speaker A:It's not necessary.
Speaker A:I'm all right.
Speaker B:This.
Speaker B:This goes.
Speaker B:This is.
Speaker B:It's above me.
Speaker A:It's above me.
Speaker A:It's above me Now.
Speaker B:That line, that's above my pay grade.
Speaker A:That's never going to be an old line that will never be old line, I swear between it's above me now.
Speaker A:And think big, those two.
Speaker A:I will live by ours.
Speaker A:Our fellow bibliophile.
Speaker A:Wolfie, you got questions?
Speaker B:Yeah, you were mentioning how parts of your every day have informed your world building.
Speaker B:Like, how do you look at what's going on around you and go like, okay, this.
Speaker B:I want to be part of my book.
Speaker B:So funny story, I was walking.
Speaker B:This is actually perfect because today I took a walk down to the river after on my lunch break.
Speaker B:Because, you know, when you're an adult, you can actually like just do things like, oh, wait, I can go do this.
Speaker B:Which it just recently hit me.
Speaker B:I'm so sorry, but I.
Speaker B:There's a.
Speaker B:There's the river like two miles a mile away from my job.
Speaker B:And so for my lunch break, instead of eating, I decided to go take a walk down to the river, get some fresh air, somewhat of the fresh air from that river, somewhat.
Speaker B:Get a nice little iced tea to walk back to my.
Speaker B:My office.
Speaker B:And I was walking in Old Town and I was trying to figure out something for book three of where like their headquarters might be.
Speaker B:And I saw this old building that was probably there from when Old Town Alexandria first actually became a thing.
Speaker B:And I took a photo of it and I'm like, you're going to be in the book.
Speaker B:You're going to be something.
Speaker B:You're going to be a scene.
Speaker B:Because I could see the scene of Olivia and her friends.
Speaker B:Can't say thank you, Olivia.
Speaker B:Can't.
Speaker B:I can't say, I can't tell you Olivia's friends because then you'll know certain things about who, certain aspects.
Speaker B:But there is going to be a need for like a little mini headquarters in book three.
Speaker B:And I found the location for it today because just walking and seeing the city and seeing these old buildings and seeing how, you know, this does have that connection to history.
Speaker B:Maybe not all good history, but there were about two or three buildings that I saw today that I took photos of that will be show showcased in book three of Amateur Tree's Magic.
Speaker B:Because just walking in the city, seeing again, I just got inspired by where that black church was and then where that historical building was and just like the emblem on the outside and like, oh, you look like you were part of the Freemasons, huh?
Speaker B:Secret society.
Speaker B:That fits into this whole idea of needing a secret headquarters.
Speaker B:I like this.
Speaker B:And I took a photo.
Speaker B:Hopefully there's no like photo of me taking a photo on some random old building, but that's How I sort of figure out what I want to go into my book.
Speaker B:I was driving in some part of Maryland, and I could just see where Olivia's house was from one of the scenes, because I was driving on the road, and the trees were, like, on both sides, and it was like that very narrow.
Speaker B:Only maybe one and a half cars can fit through at a time.
Speaker B:Like, one car is going all the way to the side, like that old country road.
Speaker B:And I fell in love with the way the trees just sort of canopied over us, and it was almost blocking out the sun.
Speaker B:And I'm like, there's, like, a secret entrance right off of here that no one would ever think to look at because they're just so focused on trying to get through, they'll miss the magic of a secret entrance.
Speaker B:And that's how I figured out where she was gonna live.
Speaker B:And so, yeah, it's literally just walking and experiencing the area.
Speaker B:And then sometimes if I'm like, if I have a certain idea in my head, it just falls into place like a puzzle.
Speaker A:I'm.
Speaker A:I'm glad you mentioned that, because I was going to say, what were your.
Speaker A:What other influences that you have?
Speaker A:And I'm glad you mentioned all of those things, because you going out and about around the city and everything else that influences you, that kind of gets a spark going.
Speaker A:And you say, you know what we do walk through our lives not really paying attention to just details.
Speaker A:You could walk by something, like you said, a old street that really only one car can pass at a time, and nobody thinks anything of it.
Speaker A:But then you look at it from an artistic or a creative point of view, and you're just like, yeah, this would be cool to be like this, you know, and we don't notice these things, you know, these old churches, these older buildings, and we never think about what's in them, Never been them in them in a day in our life.
Speaker A:But you never.
Speaker A:And you never think about, I wonder how many people have passed through here of importance or what important event happened here, just like when you was mentioned in Congress.
Speaker A:What important in that?
Speaker A:We know there's plenty of important events that happen, but what was a moment that was like the linchpin or what was the fuse that lit it, you know, and go through that.
Speaker A:What shows or movies or characters give you influences on some of your writing?
Speaker B:They can also hear you, so.
Speaker B:Oh, yeah.
Speaker B:Hi, baby.
Speaker B:I know she's over there.
Speaker B:She's talking to me.
Speaker A:My bad.
Speaker B:No, no, no, you're good.
Speaker B:I didn't Know if you, if you knew, you unmuted yourself.
Speaker B:Oh, there she is.
Speaker B:Okay, so for shows and movies, that is sort of like a hard question because I, I can't, I'm not necessarily sure I can say any.
Speaker B:And not for the fact that I don't think anything inspires me because I am inspired.
Speaker B:Like there is a short story have in my short storybook scenes out of place.
Speaker B:I was gonna ask you about that.
Speaker B:The wonderful Jocelyn Short did the art for.
Speaker A:Oh, yeah, Shout out to Jocelyn now.
Speaker B:That tracks.
Speaker B:Okay, I get it.
Speaker B:I get it.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:Looks like you.
Speaker B:It's.
Speaker B:I, I got inspired by a TV show that I had saw called Arc on Sci Fi.
Speaker B:And it sort of inspired a short story that I wrote.
Speaker B:But a lot of times for my, for my other books, I, I, I didn't, I purposely didn't like watch anything in that genre as I was writing it because I didn't want it to remind people of something I wrote them specifically because I wasn't seeing this story on tv.
Speaker B:I wasn't seeing this version of it, of the way I wanted each and every single word to lay out on tv.
Speaker B:And so I can't, I don't, I'm not sure if something did, then I must not have realized it because I won't.
Speaker B:I will not.
Speaker B:I watch a lot.
Speaker B:I watch so much tv.
Speaker B:A little too much tv.
Speaker A:Oh, you're amongst family.
Speaker A:You're fine.
Speaker B:Because I loved like, Predator.
Speaker B:I loved all the Harry Potter movies.
Speaker B:I, I love basically almost any Expanse Star Trek.
Speaker B:I've watched so many sci fi TV shows, I've watched so many magic TV shows, but I'm not quite sure I follow sort of anything similar from what I saw in my, my original three.
Speaker A:Trilogies and only ask.
Speaker A:I only.
Speaker A:That is because when you describe Olivia and basically her mentor, I think of Buffy and Giles and having the magical shop, you know, and it's like it just looks like a random shop that sells crystals.
Speaker A:But there is so much more going on in that shop or in Supernatural those final seasons.
Speaker A:The, the Winchesters come across a bunker that happens to be the old bunker for the Men of Letters.
Speaker A:And there's a ton of stuff in there, you know, that no one would ever think because you walk out the bunker, it just looks like a random rusted out fallout shelter, you know, that nobody would ever see because it's off the beaten path and no one would ever come across it.
Speaker A:So I think about stuff like that and, and wonder, like what influences someone to add something to it or it Has a moment of.
Speaker A:Of epiphany to say, hey, you know what?
Speaker A:This would be cool, but let's twist it.
Speaker B:I.
Speaker B:I'm gonna, like, pick up my face, eat my words real quick, because there is something.
Speaker B:There is a show that I.
Speaker B:I'm now realizing, like, as you were explaining, that I'm now seeing it.
Speaker B:The show that influenced Amadri's magic the most.
Speaker B:It was Charmed.
Speaker B:It was how world.
Speaker B:The original charm.
Speaker A:Yes, yes.
Speaker B:Before.
Speaker B:Before.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:The magic in the real world.
Speaker B:I've always.
Speaker B:I've always loved real life and magic happening in the same universe.
Speaker B:While I did love Harry Potter, it sort of sucked that, like, they were so ignorant of literally so many other.
Speaker B:Like, this whole Muggle world is like, you live there.
Speaker B:Like, you.
Speaker B:Like, you're not on a different plane.
Speaker B:You're not in a different dimension.
Speaker B:You are in this.
Speaker B:You live.
Speaker B:They're your neighbors.
Speaker B:What are you talking about?
Speaker B:You don't know what's going on.
Speaker A:It was both sides.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:Like one.
Speaker A:Like the Muggle side.
Speaker A:They were either.
Speaker A:You were either exposed to it by accident, and that's how you noticed it, or you didn't notice it at all.
Speaker A:And then the other side, they just was like, oh, they are dirty people.
Speaker A:We don't.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:Difference of technology was between them.
Speaker B:Like, how one world was still living like they did.
Speaker B:And the Regency era with lamps and quills and parchment, and it's like, pens exist.
Speaker B:Don't tell me.
Speaker B:You don't tell me pens wouldn't be easier.
Speaker B:A pencil wouldn't be easier than ink and a quill.
Speaker B:What are we doing?
Speaker B:What are we doing?
Speaker B:And I loved that in Charmed, it was.
Speaker B:You had a day job.
Speaker B:That didn't mean you're.
Speaker B:And your job could have nothing to do with magic, with the magic, with anything that's going on.
Speaker B:And there were people who knew, people who didn't.
Speaker B:But they weren't disconnected from each other.
Speaker B:They still walk the same streets.
Speaker B:They still shopped at the same grocery store.
Speaker B:They might have been an extra little store to, you know, get your magical supplies, but otherwise, it was in the real world.
Speaker B:And that always.
Speaker B:That always stuck with me.
Speaker B:And now I'm realizing, yeah, charm probably had a really big thing to do with.
Speaker A:I will say the Hallowell sisters.
Speaker A:I will say the Hallowell sisters, they would not be able to afford the house insurance for us.
Speaker A:As many times as that house has been through.
Speaker B:He just fixed everything for them.
Speaker B:The house was paid off.
Speaker A:With that first season, I'm like, man, they are tearing this house up.
Speaker B:I'm like, you know, they buy them both.
Speaker B:They got a warehouse with spare parts.
Speaker A:Like, tore up all the crown molding.
Speaker A:It's just not making sense anymore.
Speaker A:No, but so you.
Speaker A:You mentioned.
Speaker A:You mentioned Charmed and.
Speaker A:And I mentioned Supernatural, and so actually, Bama mentioned Warehouse 13, which is.
Speaker A:Which is still one of my favorite shows.
Speaker A:What drives you for your characters?
Speaker A:Because I like now scenes out of place.
Speaker A:I was going to ask you about.
Speaker B:Season of Place is a collection of short stories.
Speaker B:Everything from dragons reawakening to surviving a zombie apocalypse to finding yourself when you didn't ask to be there.
Speaker B:It came out last October.
Speaker B:But what drives me to write is I'm seeing it a lot now.
Speaker B:Like, more.
Speaker B:But when I was a kid, I was that kid who read, like, with the pillow, the light under the.
Speaker B:The covers.
Speaker B:Like, hiding the book under the pillow when your mom comes in.
Speaker B:I read everything.
Speaker B:I read all the Scooby Doo movie.
Speaker B:All the Scooby Doo books.
Speaker B:Like, the actual books.
Speaker B:I own them.
Speaker B:The Mary Kate and Ashley books.
Speaker B:Like, I had those people forget those people.
Speaker A:Forget those.
Speaker B:Any.
Speaker B:Any, like, fantasy stories.
Speaker B:My.
Speaker B:I remember my brother read the Anamorph series.
Speaker A:Like, we.
Speaker B:We were huge readers growing up, and I.
Speaker B:I loved the stories, but I never saw myself as the main character.
Speaker B:I always saw myself as their best friend, as the one random character that came in for this one book as the disposable girlfriend.
Speaker B:When I got older, I go, they date him.
Speaker B:They date her until they find the one they get with one they really wanted.
Speaker B:We were the plot armor or the cannon fodder.
Speaker B:And I want to go to space.
Speaker B:I am literally that girl.
Speaker B:Like, if they were doing all these space launches 50 years ago and we had a chance to go live in space, I'm gonna go do that, because why not?
Speaker B:Why not?
Speaker B:I want to live in space.
Speaker B:I want to have magic.
Speaker B:I am that girl that goes on a cruise, and every single time, I look up to the heavens and I say, God, if you tell me if I jump off this boat, I become a mermaid, I will trust you.
Speaker B:Like, and I close my eyes, and he doesn't.
Speaker B:He says nothing.
Speaker B:And I'm like, okay, next time.
Speaker B:Like, I.
Speaker A:Especially nowadays, I was like, this is just.
Speaker A:They just revealing, oh, there's aliens.
Speaker A:And everybody's just like, yeah, at this point, we don't care.
Speaker B:Let me be a mermaid.
Speaker B:And I want to see.
Speaker B:I loved all of this.
Speaker B:I wanted to be in that world.
Speaker B:I wanted to see all of this.
Speaker B:And I wasn't seeing it with people who looked like me.
Speaker B:And I decided I had to change that.
Speaker B:And then I love.
Speaker B:So all my main characters are black women.
Speaker B:Because we can be leads too.
Speaker B:And we can, we can have fantasy stories.
Speaker B:We can have sci fi stories.
Speaker B:We can be in a world with high elves.
Speaker B:We can do all of that and.
Speaker B:Or high fantasy with elves, not high elves or, you know, do you.
Speaker B:Let's do that.
Speaker A:Up in Lord of the Rings.
Speaker B:So that drives me is making those stories where we can.
Speaker B:Where black people are the leads for no other reason than we exist.
Speaker B:And this is not a dis to any other types of stories.
Speaker B:But I've noticed that when I'm at conventions, people always ask, oh, where are your characters from the dmv?
Speaker B:Because that's where I'm from.
Speaker B:Like, it's like, oh, well, why.
Speaker B:Why is your main character black?
Speaker B:Because I'm black.
Speaker B:Black people exist.
Speaker B:And those are.
Speaker B:That's an actual question I actually got.
Speaker B:And I was like, because I'm black.
Speaker B:Because we exist.
Speaker B:And there doesn't need to be a reason why the main character is black.
Speaker B:Like, it's just, it just is.
Speaker B:We just, we, we exist.
Speaker B:And I, that's what my main, my.
Speaker B:All my main characters are black because black people exist, not because they're from a certain area which is again, no shade to that.
Speaker B:But it's like we can, we don't have to make an excuse of why the character is the, is the skin color that they are.
Speaker B:Nobody asked that question of any other.
Speaker B:No, that's a fact.
Speaker A:So often we, we've seen the layout.
Speaker A:I mean, Lovecraft country gets mentioned on this ep, on this show more than anything, you know, and we see it there.
Speaker A:We just witnessed sinners.
Speaker A:We see it there.
Speaker A:You know, we've seen south of Midnight.
Speaker A:We've seen in the game form now seeing black Women Watchmen with Regina King.
Speaker A:We've seen it there.
Speaker A:So it can be done.
Speaker A:And I think it just takes us to do it, you know, because no one else will.
Speaker A:Not in the proper fashion anyway.
Speaker B:Right.
Speaker B:And I don't want anybody else writing us.
Speaker B:I'm not, I'm not comfortable.
Speaker B:I don't want nobody writing for the.
Speaker A:Woman King is another woman King G20, stuff like that.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:And you're right, Lady Mandalorian.
Speaker A:I don't, I don't.
Speaker B:Scandal.
Speaker B:Scandal.
Speaker B:And it was good for the mistress and I will never forgive her.
Speaker B:I was like, hold up.
Speaker A:The side piece is the main piece.
Speaker A:It's just weird.
Speaker A:But okay.
Speaker B:But no.
Speaker B:So then like if my.
Speaker B:I wish my sister in law would let me post my niece, but I respect that.
Speaker B:So there's this photo.
Speaker B:We babysat my, my niece over the summer and my.
Speaker B:One of my.
Speaker B:Actually, I'm gonna show you which book it was.
Speaker B:It was this book.
Speaker B:It was a Lindell.
Speaker B:She, she's two, she can't read, but she's used to picking up books and having people read them to her.
Speaker B:And so she found my book downstairs and sat down with it upside down, but reading, like faking, like she was reading my book.
Speaker B:And I almost cried.
Speaker B:And I took a photo of it and I almost cried because that is why I am doing this now.
Speaker B:Because she will grow up never not seeing herself on a cover.
Speaker B:She will grow up always seeing herself on a cover.
Speaker B:She.
Speaker B:It will not be something that's happening in her lifetime.
Speaker B:She will not have to pick between two or three authors that people will talk about that, that were blessed enough to get traditionally published before self publishing became a thing.
Speaker B:She will not have to like, hey, I'm looking for this one particular type of story written by this one author, but I can't remember their name.
Speaker B:She would have her pick of books with main characters that look like her, that talk like her, that think like her, and that have shared life experiences who understand the, the jokes.
Speaker B:And that is like, I saw that and I almost cried because like she's holding my little books sitting down, fake reading.
Speaker B:And I just love it.
Speaker B:I'm like, you're always gonna see yourself.
Speaker A:I, I know what you're saying.
Speaker A:I mean, even seeing like in the Marvels, seeing Tiana, Paris's character, Monica telling Nick Fury she can't fly, she can't.
Speaker A:She's been practicing.
Speaker A:She hasn't gotten it yet.
Speaker A:And he yells out, black girl magic.
Speaker A:And I swear every black person in the theater laughed and clapped because we knew it was, we knew what that meant.
Speaker A:And so seeing, seeing black leads, and especially female black leads makes it all the more better, you know, because it's magic.
Speaker A:It's, it's.
Speaker A:It does something.
Speaker A:Even as speaking as a black man, it does something.
Speaker A:Seeing a black woman front and center and not be ostracized, not be sexualized and, and actually be seen as the hero, the, the one that got it out the mud and realizing, yeah, she's got to do twice as much to prove her point, but doing that twice as much just makes her that much more of a badass.
Speaker A:You know, I, I mentioned the woman King.
Speaker A:Love that film.
Speaker A:Mad that it didn't get the recognition it did.
Speaker A:And it's based off of a true tribe of women, you know, and.
Speaker A:And his.
Speaker A:In the stuff in history and people just.
Speaker A:They can't handle it.
Speaker A:Which I'm glad they can't handle it because we can.
Speaker A:You know, so seeing those types of.
Speaker A:Of projects come out and then you know, when, like scenes out of place.
Speaker A:When you're describing scenes out of place.
Speaker A:I'm envisioning a series like a live action or an animated series like love death robots or.
Speaker A:Or Star wars visions or something like that or.
Speaker A:Or even Tales from the Dark side that type of like an anthology series of different stories that people are going to say I need an episode.
Speaker A:I need another episode of this particular thing.
Speaker A:Or I need another episode of that.
Speaker A:Because that.
Speaker A:It couldn't be it.
Speaker A:That couldn't be the end of the story.
Speaker A:I need some more.
Speaker A:You know, that's.
Speaker A:That is what we're looking for.
Speaker A:I think we are in an age especially with all of us being involved with Blurred Station.
Speaker A:We are at a stage now where they can't ignore us anymore.
Speaker A:We are here.
Speaker A:And whether you.
Speaker A:You, you try to say xyz, we don't care.
Speaker A:We're gonna put it out anyway.
Speaker A:I'm sorry.
Speaker A:Oh, we are also.
Speaker A:Yes.
Speaker A:So our grit.
Speaker A:Speaking of which.
Speaker A:Our GR or horror.
Speaker A:You got a question?
Speaker B:Hello everybody.
Speaker B:My apologies.
Speaker B:I was trying to make sure I get to until dawn.
Speaker B:Until tomorrow it actually comes out.
Speaker B:I'm gonna review it.
Speaker B:So that's the reason why I wait.
Speaker B:No, I mean there was a couple of things that I was listening to that was kind of my question.
Speaker B:So I was to say this.
Speaker B:What's next?
Speaker B:What is your next volume of stories from your head?
Speaker B:So fun question because so many things.
Speaker B:First on the docket is I'm finishing up my sci fi series which is called Elendil.
Speaker B:It's about Abriana.
Speaker B:She finds herself on an alien planet in the middle of an intergalactic war.
Speaker B:All because a mother who she thought abandoned her is really a general in the alien army.
Speaker B:So now she has to help save a planet she never called home.
Speaker A:Say less.
Speaker A:Dam.
Speaker B:I have two books out currently in this one and so I'm working on the third.
Speaker B:I.
Speaker B:I'm about.
Speaker B:You had that.
Speaker B:I'm sorry.
Speaker B:Oh yes.
Speaker B:I have about half of it done.
Speaker B:The first draft of it done.
Speaker B:And I'm almost done with the second one.
Speaker B:I'm also working on the third book for Amateur's Magic and then that will be the last one in that series as well.
Speaker B:And Then I have two new books that I'm sort of working on.
Speaker B:One is called Capital Sorcery.
Speaker B:It is.
Speaker B:It is the alternate version of Amatree's magic.
Speaker B:It was the other way.
Speaker B:I had two major plots for Amatree's magic and I couldn't figure out which one I wanted to do.
Speaker B:And so this one has like this almost similar.
Speaker B:Like it had the same beginning.
Speaker B:Like the first two chapters were very similar.
Speaker B:And then it completely goes in a whole different direction.
Speaker B:And then I had Amatree's Magic outlined and I went with amateur's magic first.
Speaker B:The Capital Sorcery is more of a darker magical story that's based in D.C.
Speaker B:and it will have more romance, it would have more.
Speaker B:More magical beings and it'll be more.
Speaker B:Higher rate.
Speaker A:Before.
Speaker A:Before I pass this.
Speaker A:Before I pass that.
Speaker A:Before.
Speaker A:Well, go ahead, Go ahead.
Speaker B:And then I have a cozy mystery series that I.
Speaker B:I love Wine that's going to be based in a vineyard and so of a black woman owning her own vineyard.
Speaker B:And then because I love cozy mysteries and.
Speaker B:And if I'm wrong, please correct me in the comments and shoot them to me because I've been looking for them.
Speaker B:I need more black lead cozy mysteries.
Speaker B:I sometimes I just want like a nice little fun read of a random woman somehow getting thrown into being a detective.
Speaker B:So like the residents send them to me.
Speaker B:I love some cozy mysteries.
Speaker B:So if you know any black female led cozy mysteries, let a girl know.
Speaker B:But I am writing one now too.
Speaker A:Andrea, you are a woman after my own heart.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker A:Because not only will I read these series, I want to see them on a score green somewhere.
Speaker B:I will be hopefully working with Jocelyn who did my wonderful, amazing art shout out to Jasmine.
Speaker A:Jocelyn.
Speaker B:Doesn't she look like me?
Speaker A:Yeah, I was gonna say she.
Speaker A:She looks like you.
Speaker A:Purple hair and all.
Speaker B:It's my braids.
Speaker B:And all of the ideas are coming out of my hair because they're all.
Speaker B:They all have to come out.
Speaker B:And I would like to work with her and like next year once I get some of these other.
Speaker B:Once I get Elendo and Amishi's magic done to turn this into more of like a.
Speaker B:An art book because she did the COVID and I love her work and I just felt like she'll be able to bring this into a visual.
Speaker B:Visual form.
Speaker B:And then I also would like to do art books for all of my books because I just.
Speaker B:I see, I see it and I want.
Speaker B:I need them to be an art book because I will do a coloring book at 45 years old.
Speaker B:I didn't think about a coloring book, but that is interesting.
Speaker A:Yes, that would work.
Speaker B:I will have my daughter do a coloring book with me and so she will be also drawing black characters.
Speaker A:Yes, I'm glad that you said that.
Speaker A:You seen your knees and you took a picture of a reading.
Speaker A:Reading your book.
Speaker A:Ella Del.
Speaker A:And I think that's cute.
Speaker A:And you're right because Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, perfect example.
Speaker A:Perfect example of a show of seeing a young black girl being a hero, smart, the smartest person in the Marvel universe and still being a teenager and dealing with teenager things.
Speaker A:And though in, in that, in that with two seasons, things are actually addressed but that we haven't seen anywhere else.
Speaker A:Shows like Craig of the Creek dealing with certain, certain elements of the show that we would recognize, you know, so it's so necessary to see these types of stories.
Speaker A:Damn.
Speaker C:Say it again.
Speaker A:Say it again.
Speaker A:Spartan.
Speaker A:Do you have a question for Andrea.
Speaker B:Prosper?
Speaker A:I had to say that because.
Speaker A:Because I was.
Speaker A:I was indisposed at the beginning of this podcast when they try to say who was.
Speaker A:Who was the better fandom.
Speaker A:And I was saying let's not ruin, let's not ruin the moment.
Speaker A:Let's not ruin the moment.
Speaker A:Let's, let's, let's.
Speaker A:Let's be respectful of all fandoms.
Speaker B:We are respectful of all fandom.
Speaker A:We are.
Speaker A:Except.
Speaker A:Except for Twilight.
Speaker B:So it was just not a healthy love story.
Speaker A:Glittery hell.
Speaker B:It was the most terrible.
Speaker B:Like it's not a healthy love story.
Speaker B:That is not a healthy love.
Speaker B:Do not aspire to have that love.
Speaker B:Young women, if we're really being honest.
Speaker A:Twilight was basically the modern Helen of Troy.
Speaker A:Everybody went to war over a white girl.
Speaker B:Just not even that.
Speaker B:The love story do never.
Speaker B:You never go catatonic over a person that does not want you.
Speaker B:And you knew this person is canonically like less than two years.
Speaker B:Less than two years.
Speaker B:From the first book to the.
Speaker B:I watched a whole tick tock person break it down.
Speaker B:From the first.
Speaker B:I haven't read them.
Speaker B:I haven't read them.
Speaker B:But I did watch them except the third one because I didn't care.
Speaker B:From the first book to the last book to end of the last book.
Speaker B:It's only is less than two years.
Speaker B:All of that happens in lesson two physical years.
Speaker B:She knew this man for six months before he left her and she went into comatose.
Speaker B:No.
Speaker B:And despite for a man you just met in high school.
Speaker A:See, she gets it.
Speaker A:Everybody.
Speaker A:See.
Speaker A:Now you see why you went for creepy old guy.
Speaker A:Now you see why I was pissed about that franchise.
Speaker A:And I'm like, this is several years after they cancel angel and Buffy.
Speaker A:And I'm like, do you understand why this made this franchise?
Speaker A:Pissed me off?
Speaker A:I'm like, you mean to tell me we just had a whole girl that could.
Speaker A:That had two vampires falling over her and.
Speaker A:And yes, she still dealt with that stuff, but she still went out and kicked ass.
Speaker A:And now here we go, spinning the block and we got this girl, like you said, new a vampire for six months and now can't leave the room.
Speaker A:I'll say it once and I'll say it again.
Speaker A:Twilight was the best two hours of sleep I ever got in a movie theater.
Speaker A:But.
Speaker A:But no, the only.
Speaker A:I don't really have.
Speaker A:I was gonna sit there and say really quickly, I don't really have a question because again, I just literally went to your Amazon and just added all your books to Kindle.
Speaker A:So I want to actually read it because 1.
Speaker A:I know it's probably been repeated, but I love to see more female authors.
Speaker A:I do want to see more stories being told from that perspective.
Speaker A:I do want to see more.
Speaker A:Not your traditional.
Speaker A:I'm not going to say his name because I'm not trying to ruin our chances of actually coming up in the world because we might actually run into him, but less of his stories of the guy in the dress that I can't say his name.
Speaker A:I was told not to say that offline.
Speaker A:I would sit there.
Speaker A:I.
Speaker A:I really.
Speaker A:I was trying to think of a question.
Speaker A:I was really trying to think of a question outside.
Speaker A:Oh, well, I can go the Trekkie route because you and I both share a love for fandoms.
Speaker A:I gotta ask.
Speaker A:This is gonna be just random.
Speaker A:Favorite series.
Speaker B:So.
Speaker A:Oh, go ahead.
Speaker B:Two things.
Speaker B:One, Bama de Blurb.
Speaker B:Fifty Shades of Gray is a fan fiction of Twilight.
Speaker B:So that's why it's basically Twilight without vampires.
Speaker B:She stole that person's characters and it made fan fiction.
Speaker B:Second thing.
Speaker B:So I started watching.
Speaker B:That's why I like Trekkie Star Treks with my dad when I was a kid.
Speaker B:And so until I was like 13, I did not know there were multiple shows.
Speaker B:I thought they were all one show because I would go in his office and they were already beyond.
Speaker B:So I never saw the opening credits.
Speaker B:And he would be working and I'll just lay on his floor in his office and just like, oh, we have Picard today.
Speaker B:Cool.
Speaker B:And then it was the one that was like, oh, Whoopi's on today.
Speaker B:Cool.
Speaker B:And I never.
Speaker B:Because I never looked it Up.
Speaker B:And I'm also.
Speaker B:I'm.
Speaker B:I am.
Speaker B:I am old enough to remember a time before Internet was a major thing.
Speaker B:So I didn't look it up because I didn't.
Speaker B:We.
Speaker B:My dad had the Internet for hit the dial up cord in his office.
Speaker A:Get off the phone.
Speaker A:I need the line.
Speaker A:But it's grandma.
Speaker B:I don't care.
Speaker B:We're in the middle of season.
Speaker C:Whatever.
Speaker B:I did not have.
Speaker B:I did not have like Internet like that to just look it up.
Speaker B:So.
Speaker B:And it wasn't until I was older that I knew was more than one show.
Speaker B:So I didn't know that.
Speaker B:So I'm gonna go off the new shows because for the old shows, I never watched them all the way through because I didn't.
Speaker B:Oh, today we're.
Speaker B:We're in that one Deep.
Speaker B:We're in Deep Space Nine today.
Speaker B:Oh, that's void.
Speaker B:Didn't know there were different shows.
Speaker B:So of the new ones that have come out, my all time favorite that's.
Speaker B:That is strictly Star Trek and not hijinks is Strange New Worlds.
Speaker B:I absolutely love Strange New Worlds.
Speaker B:It is beautiful.
Speaker B:It is the one that reminds me most of the shows I watch with my dad.
Speaker B:It reminds me most of Enterprise and Next, Next Generation and Voyager and Deep Space Nine.
Speaker B:Strange New Worlds gives me those feels.
Speaker B:And I remember watching it.
Speaker A:Nice.
Speaker A:I will say the musical episode and seeing Klingon sing, I was just like, this is different.
Speaker A:But I was here for it.
Speaker A:I'm like, oh, this is really funny now.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:Wow.
Speaker A:It's the most hilarious moment.
Speaker A:Let's get your ears ready for it.
Speaker A:Is you're not going to.
Speaker A:Because the songs they're doing, they're kind of catchy.
Speaker A:And then all of a sudden the Klingons just turn into this whole boy band.
Speaker A:And they.
Speaker A:Every once it's done, they look at each other like, we take this to our graves.
Speaker A:Right.
Speaker A:This will never be mentioned in front of Kaylis.
Speaker B:Trust me.
Speaker A:You don't want to say that.
Speaker B:It's.
Speaker A:It's once.
Speaker A:It's.
Speaker A:It's going to be tattooed to your brain.
Speaker A:You'll never forget it.
Speaker B:I don't know.
Speaker B:I definitely want to see it at.
Speaker A:This point, but it's awesome.
Speaker B:But my other, my actual favorite that I watch over and over and over again is Lower Decks.
Speaker A:Oh, yeah.
Speaker B:How did I know she was gonna say that?
Speaker B:I love everything about that show except that little robot that everyone else gives like a second chance to.
Speaker B:Peanut hamper can go kick rocks.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:So if you had to pick, if you had to pick three captains to follow into battle, who would it be?
Speaker B:Picard.
Speaker A:Fair.
Speaker A:Fair.
Speaker A:Very.
Speaker A:More than fair.
Speaker A:Solid.
Speaker A:Very solid.
Speaker A:She's.
Speaker A:She's doing good so far.
Speaker A:Let's get them.
Speaker A:Let's get number two.
Speaker A:There's a debate going on in her.
Speaker B:Careful.
Speaker B:God.
Speaker B:Did I just forget their name?
Speaker B:Did I just forget someone's name?
Speaker B:I did just forget someone's name.
Speaker B:Which series is.
Speaker A:We can help out.
Speaker B:Discovery.
Speaker B:It's not Discovery.
Speaker B:They just took, like, So I.
Speaker B:Michael Burnham, maybe.
Speaker B:I do.
Speaker B:I do.
Speaker B:I respect Janeway, and so I would.
Speaker B:I.
Speaker B:But it's like, I don't know.
Speaker B:I'm trying to debate, like, what I follow, what I thought.
Speaker A:Like, would you follow someone that got you lost in the first place?
Speaker B:It depends on what shirt color I am.
Speaker A:Wakes up as a red shirt.
Speaker A:She's like, you know what?
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:It also depends if I'm a series regular or if I'm that person who comes in like, oh, hey, congratulations, she got this award.
Speaker B:You're gonna come with us on this away mission?
Speaker B:No, because I'm gonna die.
Speaker A:I'll throw the question this way.
Speaker A:Would you rather be on DS9 or would you rather.
Speaker A:Would you rather be on DS9 or would you Rather be on the Enterprise?
Speaker B:DS9?
Speaker B:Because I have the option of maybe sometimes traveling you have the option of.
Speaker A:Maybe sometimes traveling any position that you want.
Speaker A:Which area would you love to be on?
Speaker B:Because I.
Speaker B:I liked.
Speaker B:I like the feel of that show the most.
Speaker B:When I was watching, I did enjoy it the most.
Speaker B:Picard made me feel safe.
Speaker B:But I would have to go on missions with him, and I don't want to do that all the time.
Speaker B:Like, look, I joined Starfleet to.
Speaker B:For science.
Speaker B:I didn't.
Speaker B:I'm not military.
Speaker A:Picard tries to pull the best out of.
Speaker A:He's like, I know.
Speaker A:Away team survival rate is not exactly high.
Speaker B:Always, always when it's that random.
Speaker B:Now, if it's a series.
Speaker B:If I'm a series regular, I'm in there like swimwear.
Speaker B:Let's do this episode.
Speaker B:They commandeer someone.
Speaker B:They're like, oh, we.
Speaker B:He's here just for a little bit.
Speaker B:We're gonna show him around.
Speaker B:Come on this away mission, nothing's gonna happen to you.
Speaker B:Boom, you're dead.
Speaker B:Like, I can call at the beginning of the episode, oh, those two people got.
Speaker B:They got commented.
Speaker B:And then the Gorn came and you got eaten.
Speaker B:Oh, no.
Speaker A:The Space Mal mentions the three that I.
Speaker A:I wouldn't mind.
Speaker B:New pike or old pike.
Speaker A:That chaotic.
Speaker B:World Pike.
Speaker B:And again, there is regular not getting accommodate.
Speaker B:Common, like, accommodation from him.
Speaker A:Like, that's that.
Speaker B:See me every day.
Speaker B:Let me work in the bar.
Speaker B:Like, what are we doing?
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:At least with Cisco, you're just like, literally, don't piss the captain off.
Speaker A:I'm telling you.
Speaker A:Don't.
Speaker A:Just do what he tells you to do.
Speaker A:And don't second question it.
Speaker A:Because he said we going to ward.
Speaker A:I'm like, all right, well, here we go.
Speaker B:I would like to be on lower decks, though.
Speaker B:I would like to be on the Cerritos because I feel like they have fun on the Cerritos.
Speaker A:Oh, they do.
Speaker B:They have so much fun.
Speaker A:Especially with the Riker.

Speaker A:Oh, Shadow, Shadow Jutsu.
Speaker A:Spartan got Shadow Jitsu again.
Speaker A:Here we go again.
Speaker C:How did you see it before we did?
Speaker C:What you.

Speaker A:You heard it?
Speaker A:You heard it before you saw it?
Speaker A:Yeah, it's a gift.
Speaker A:I can't help it.
Speaker A:Make a fun of until dawn jokes.
Speaker A:Outside of Star Trek, what other sci Fi stuff are you into, Andrea?
Speaker B:So I'm glad you asked because on Sci Fi Channel right now that I just need everyone to watch because I needed to go more than I think it's on.
Speaker B:I think it's about to start.
Speaker B:His third season, it's called the Ark.
Speaker B:It is basically, you know, Earth is dying because, you know, we killed it.
Speaker B:And these people are on like.
Speaker B:There's a group of people, they're in space and they are trying to, like, they thought they're going to one planet to, like, reconnect with all the other arcs to survive.
Speaker B:And they've been asleep, but of course there's an attack and they don't know.
Speaker B:They have like, maybe debris hit and they're just trying to scramble because all the people in charge are killed.
Speaker B:It's not only like the second in commands are there.
Speaker B:It's like hijinks and space.
Speaker B:And I love it.
Speaker B:And it's like very smart people, but they're doing dumb crap.
Speaker B:And I.
Speaker B:I love it.
Speaker B:I love people sometimes.
Speaker B:I normally hate when smart people make dumb decisions, but this was like, you take all the problems of Earth into a spaceship where it's like, hey, hold up.
Speaker B:I wasn't supposed to be in charge again.
Speaker B:We had leadership.
Speaker B:Leadership's dead.
Speaker B:It's like, well, now we're in charge and they're just trying to survive.
Speaker B:And I love it.
Speaker B:And there's two seasons so far and I, yes.
Speaker A:I, I generally like Sci Fi Channel because they, they do get some good gems, but sometimes, sometimes they pull the rug out.
Speaker A:They, they pull the rug out of, out of a lot of shows.
Speaker A:Eureka was one of them.
Speaker A:Eureka, Defiance Warehouse.
Speaker A:I love Warehouse 13.
Speaker A:Warehouse 13.
Speaker A:Those are some things, which is why.
Speaker B:I'm telling you guys.
Speaker B:So you can go.
Speaker B:It's on.
Speaker B:If you have Peacock, you can watch it on Peacock right now.
Speaker B:First two seasons are out.
Speaker B:Amazing.
Speaker B:Hilarious, actually.
Speaker B:I, I don't think they're trying to be funny.
Speaker B:I just think I found some of the stuff funny.
Speaker B:But it's so good.
Speaker B:It's called the art.
Speaker B:I've also, I had a whole list in my head until you asked me.
Speaker B:Oh my gosh.
Speaker B:I'm trying to re watch Expanse.
Speaker B:Like I started it a while ago when it first came out before I got canceled and moved to a whole new.
Speaker B:Like I started all the way back then and then like I fell behind.
Speaker B:So now I'm going to like restart it.
Speaker B:I, I think right now those are my two main Sci Fi ones besides Star Trek.
Speaker B:I did try and watch foundations on Apple TV and while I did give it a 10 out of 10 in my review because like it literally was a great show, it just didn't do it for me.
Speaker B:Like the storyline, the execution of it, the, the plot, beautiful.
Speaker B:But I was like, I just don't care about any of these characters.
Speaker B:Also on Apple tv for all mankind.
Speaker B:Love that show.
Speaker B:You've not watched it.
Speaker B:It's like a different take of, of American history.
Speaker B:If they did go to the moon, if they kept going back to the moon, if America wasn't first and how the space race never ended.
Speaker B:That's one that, that was one of my favorite ones.
Speaker B:And I watched it religiously and up until this, the final, this past season that just happened.
Speaker B:I don't consider this.
Speaker A:You kind of went out for a second.
Speaker A:It went muffled for a hot second.
Speaker A:What was that again?
Speaker A:Oh, hilarious.
Speaker B:I know it's not technically sci fi and it's closer to fantasy because then the gaming, but because it's computers, I'm gonna throw it sci fi.
Speaker B:I mean they are right.
Speaker B:It is a video game.
Speaker B:So there's science involved and there's fiction because they're writing a story about fantasy fiction.
Speaker B:It works.
Speaker B:It fits.
Speaker A:It was mentioned in the, it was mentioned in the chat, but the orville is.
Speaker A:Is a fan.
Speaker A:I people, I.
Speaker A:I gave that.
Speaker A:I gave that a chance and I said, it's by South McFarlane.
Speaker A:So I like Family Guy, you know, And I'm watched that first season is like a lot of hijinks, but then it really.
Speaker A:When it starts getting serious, it gets good.
Speaker B:It's real heavy.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:And I'm like this.
Speaker A:I didn't know it was gonna be this good.
Speaker A:Like, surprisingly, that's when the pay level comes in.
Speaker A:You show somebody that's never seen it and they're like, I can't whip this cliffhanger.
Speaker A:What are you gonna do with it?
Speaker A:You just want to sit there and go, yeah, they got the green light for another season.
Speaker A:It's just.
Speaker A:Exactly.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker A:We're just waiting.
Speaker B:Why we're not.
Speaker A:I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker A:I'm.
Speaker A:I'm old school with it.
Speaker B: I am a huge fan of space: Speaker A:That's another one.
Speaker B:That was a phenomenal series.
Speaker B:I don't think got enough clout behind it.
Speaker A:So I'm a huge fan of Doctor who.
Speaker A:Yes, definitely.
Speaker B:We are Whovians in this space.
Speaker A:Let's go.
Speaker A:I still need a partners for my birthday.
Speaker B:I like the 100.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:And then there's another one.
Speaker B:I was trying to Google the name of it really quick, but I can't remember the name of it.
Speaker B:But it was also a sci fi show.
Speaker A:I see we're going in the Dark.
Speaker B:Matter, I want to say, because it was the one where, like, those people woke up on the ship and they weren't.
Speaker B:They all had amnesia and they didn't.
Speaker A:Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker A:Was it.
Speaker A:No, no, no, no.
Speaker A:It wasn't Far escape the girl.
Speaker B:If anyone watches the Rookie, the girl who plays Lucy on the Rookie, she.
Speaker A:Ended up being like the captain.
Speaker A:She ended up being like.
Speaker B:Yeah, like, they were like all sort of like thieves because they had an AM because they had amnesia.
Speaker B:They were sort of the good guys, but still doing things in a bad way.
Speaker B:And I can't think of the show.
Speaker A:But it takes place.
Speaker A:Dark Matter.
Speaker B:I want to say it was Dark Matter, but I don't.
Speaker B:For some reason that doesn't feel right to me.
Speaker B:I could be wrong.
Speaker C:I just searched the whole synopsis and Dark Matter was the first result.
Speaker A:It's gotta be.
Speaker A:It sounds like Dark Matter, but it also sounds like.
Speaker A:Were they bounty hunters?
Speaker B:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker A:They're like bounty hunter slash six.
Speaker C:Six people wake up on a deserted spaceship with no memory of who they are or what they're doing there.
Speaker B:Yes.
Speaker C:Dark Matter.
Speaker A:I feel like it was called something else.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker A:And just when it was getting good, Just when they were getting good, like, really good.
Speaker B:It is called Matter.
Speaker B:Yes.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:Just when it was starting to get really good, they canceled it.
Speaker B:They did.
Speaker B:And I was really sad because I was in it.
Speaker B:I.
Speaker B:I didn't even know it was canceled by the.
Speaker B:By the time I started watching it, it was already canceled.
Speaker B:And I didn't know that.
Speaker B:And so I'm watching like, oh, when's the next season?
Speaker A:Yeah, well, they pulled the NBC.
Speaker B:They got scared after one season and got rid of it.
Speaker A:I'm like.
Speaker A:And I'm like.
Speaker A:I said, Sci Fi.
Speaker A:You supposed to be the station that keeps these types of shows going.
Speaker B:And I.
Speaker B:It's.
Speaker B:It's really good.
Speaker B:So I love those type of Sci Fi's where it's.
Speaker B:You're all in space trying to figure out.
Speaker B:Trying to save the day, trying to figure out what's going on, get to the next place, whatever.
Speaker B:I just love it.
Speaker A:That's up there with Stargate and Stargate Universe.
Speaker B:I did like Stargate.
Speaker B:I watched that a lot during the pandemic.
Speaker A:It took me.
Speaker A:It took me a minute to get around to it, but once I did, I'm like, okay, all right.
Speaker A:This is.
Speaker A:It's a.
Speaker A:It was a hard transition for me from.
Speaker A:From the film to the television show because plus it was such a large gap.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:When they decided they were gonna start doing it.
Speaker A:That in Atlantis when you had Jason Momoa and nobody knew who he was.
Speaker A:We knew he was.
Speaker A:We knew he was Lobo on Atlantis before.
Speaker A:Before he got to dc.
Speaker A:Oh, man.
Speaker B:What was it?
Speaker A:Yeah, yeah, he was a Stargate Atlantis.
Speaker A:He was getting around.
Speaker A:He was on Baywatch and Stargate Atlantis and.
Speaker A:Yeah, he was getting.
Speaker A:He was getting around.
Speaker A:You know, when Bay Watch was somehow still a thing.
Speaker B:Yeah, I remember that show I watched.
Speaker A:So we have a couple trailers we weren't checking out.

Speaker A:So sad.
Speaker A:Wherever there's murder and mayhem, you will always find an Addams.
Speaker A:Every family has dark secrets, Wednesday, and secrets can have deadly consequences.
Speaker A:You don't need to worry about me, mother.
Speaker A:I do my best work in the dark.
Speaker B:I hate that they split it up in two parts.
Speaker B:Just give us the whole freaking thing.
Speaker A:Okay, I've noticed that.
Speaker A:Glad that they.
Speaker A:At least.
Speaker A:I'm glad that at least the break isn't as huge, like, you're waiting two years for another season or something like that.
Speaker A:You're like, no, at least you're getting it within the same year.
Speaker A:And they're just.
Speaker A:But yeah.
Speaker A:Jenna.
Speaker A:Jenna Ortega.
Speaker A:As.
Speaker A:As Wednesday is.
Speaker A:Is a fun watch.
Speaker A:If you haven't seen the first season, that's just a fun watch.
Speaker A:And then it's kind of snatch it at the heartstrings in the first season when something happens to thing and you're just like, oh, wait, not him.
Speaker A:You know, and just like, okay, he's fine.
Speaker A:Because she almost lost it.
Speaker A:So.
Speaker A:Yeah, it's.
Speaker A:No, no, that's.
Speaker A:I know.
Speaker A:Christy.
Speaker A:Christy.
Speaker A:I know exactly who you're talking about.
Speaker A:No, that's not the same chick.
Speaker A:That girl that's been going viral at the cons, her name is Lorena Parker.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker A:And it's a dead ringer.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:So as a matter of fact, her stuff's starting to drum up again because she's been out there getting it in the pull ups.
Speaker A:The pull ups with the leg out and the stone face.
Speaker A:I give her respect for that.
Speaker A:Just.
Speaker A:I mean, she's just.
Speaker A:I think the military guys were sitting there like, yo, she was deadlifting and everything.
Speaker A:I was like, she's so little.
Speaker A:Then.
Speaker A:That's the food.
Speaker A:That's where she fools.
Speaker A:That's the.
Speaker A:No.
Speaker A:What are you guys thinking about Wednesday, Season two or the.
Speaker A:What we've seen so far.
Speaker B:I'm intrigued.
Speaker B:I'm.
Speaker B:I'm intrigued.
Speaker A:I think we're getting more of the family this time, too.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:Secrets.
Speaker A:So.
Speaker A:Yeah, that's what.
Speaker A:I just want to see what Uncle Fester's gonna be because I know we're not gonna get Christopher Lloyd to come back and do it.
Speaker A:No, it's.
Speaker A:He was from snl.
Speaker A:I can't remember his name right now.
Speaker A:He was.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker A:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker A:He popped up in the last season.
Speaker A:He popped up last season.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker A:Yeah, he did.
Speaker A:Like.
Speaker A:Like, I think one episode he was, like, on the run and I'm like, yeah, typical.
Speaker A:Yeah, right, right, right.
Speaker A:The phone call.
Speaker A:That's what it was.
Speaker A:So it's.
Speaker A:I, I like.
Speaker A:I like Jim Ortega being in.
Speaker C:Like, does she make it through TSA with all the illegal ass weapons and sunscreen?
Speaker C:Or.
Speaker A:Look, dude just asked her about the sunscreen.
Speaker C:That was a whole new ground sketch right there.
Speaker A:TSA is a little bit lax.
Speaker A:Whose fault is that?
Speaker B:I feel like with the last one, we sort of knew what the mystery was maybe going to be about from the trailers.
Speaker B:This one, I have no idea.
Speaker B:Which is.
Speaker B:I, I.
Speaker B:Which is.
Speaker B:Could either be a good thing or a bad thing, because I don't know who.
Speaker B:Like, what's that?
Speaker B:What's gonna happen?
Speaker B:What.
Speaker B:What is the plot line of this story so I can, like, get my brain straight?
Speaker B:But, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker A:It's her.
Speaker A:It seems like at the end of last season, she hated that school.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:But by the time everything unfolded and now you're going into the new season, she was like, oh, there's more going on here.
Speaker A:And I like it.
Speaker A:You know, especially that first season when.
Speaker A:When Pugsley is getting bullied and she decides to dump piranha into the pool.
Speaker A:And I'm just like, I don't.
Speaker A:I don't see nothing wrong with the logic right now.
Speaker B:You place.
Speaker B:You place them again.
Speaker B:Who wins stupid prizes?
Speaker B:I mean, they won a prize.
Speaker A:I'm sure this was not her first time around the parking.
Speaker A:Like, y'all should have known what she was about.
Speaker A:I'm trying to figure out where she get the piranhas personally this Wednesday.
Speaker B:Come on, now.
Speaker A:We listen and we don't judge.
Speaker B:He did her job as the older sister to protect the younger brother from other people except herself.
Speaker B:Because she can do whatever she wants to do.
Speaker B:But you can't.
Speaker B:You can't touch my sibling.
Speaker B:And because you touched my sibling, you will never touch anyone else's.
Speaker B:That's right.
Speaker B:And as a young sibling, I respect that.
Speaker B:And I love an Otis.
Speaker A:I literally looked at my wife.
Speaker A:I'm like, I don't see anything wrong with that.
Speaker A:They said he lost a toe.
Speaker A:Then he's learned a very important lesson.
Speaker A:There it is.
Speaker B:Every time.
Speaker B:He'll remember.
Speaker A:Oh, man.
Speaker A:So, yeah, that's.
Speaker A:That was.
Speaker A:I'm.
Speaker A:I'm looking forward to that one.
Speaker A:Jenna Ortega.
Speaker A:And just, like, a bunch of different projects, and people don't remember that she was the daughter of one of the senators in Iron Man 3.
Speaker A:They don't remember that.
Speaker A:Like, no.
Speaker A:Like, she was.
Speaker A:She was little.
Speaker A:She was in the wheelchair.
Speaker A:You know, it was the whole extremist armor situation and.
Speaker A:Right.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:She was missing a limb.
Speaker A:Yeah, go ahead.
Speaker B:No, Lainey, turn it.
Speaker B:Turn it.
Speaker B:Like, turn the mic itself a little bit towards you.
Speaker A:Oh, like the baby.
Speaker C:We are in a hole.
Speaker B:Does it sound better?
Speaker B:Because I took out the.
Speaker B:Yeah, now it sounds.
Speaker B:You sound better.
Speaker B:That's because I took out the plug.
Speaker B:So I have no idea what was going on with the.
Speaker B:With the mic, but whatever.
Speaker B:Okay.
Speaker B:Sorry.
Speaker A:Okay.
Speaker A:So I appreciate it.
Speaker A:So another project that kind of fell in the lap that I did not expect is seeing John Cena and Idris Elba on screen together again.
Speaker C:Idris just said, I want all the unserious roles you can send me.
Speaker A:So if people are trying to figure this out.
Speaker A:Idris Elba is the Prime Minister of England and John Cena is the ex action star who's now the President of the United States.
Speaker A:Which I'll take that over what we currently have.
Speaker A:So we're gonna check that out right now.
Speaker A:It's called heads of state.
Speaker A:Mr.
Speaker A:Prime Minister.
Speaker A:Mr.
Speaker A:President.
Speaker A:It's her debut duet.
Speaker A:Duet?
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:It's like Dr.
Speaker A:Dre and you're Eminem, and we're taking that stage for the first time together.
Speaker B:Oh, no.
Speaker A:I'm Eminem.
Speaker A:What is it with you walking around thinking you're better than anybody else?
Speaker A:What's the difference between me and you?
Speaker A:You are the commander in chief, you know, some DJ in Vegas.
Speaker A:What's the difference between us?
Speaker A:All right, I get it.
Speaker A:You don't like my movies.
Speaker A:I've never seen your movies.
Speaker A:But the universe keeps telling me I look cool with a gun in my hand.
Speaker A:Was it difference between a toy gun?
Speaker A:What's that?
Speaker A:That can't be good.
Speaker A:We just survived the worst security breach in history.
Speaker A:The cavalry's coming.
Speaker A:So keep calm and carry on.
Speaker A:Hey, fellas.
Speaker A:How's it going?
Speaker A:Y.
Speaker A:We're about to get our asses kicked.
Speaker A:Man.
Speaker A:Read the room.
Speaker B:A lot of people want you de.
Speaker B:My mission is to deliver you to the most secure location on this continent.
Speaker A:Hey.
Speaker A:Where's your backup?
Speaker A:There is no backup.
Speaker A:What's the playbook on this?
Speaker A:There is no damn playbook.
Speaker C:Do it.
Speaker A:Let's make one.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:The movies.
Speaker A:Now, son.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:Come on.
Speaker A:Who's the action hero now?
Speaker A:How are you alive?
Speaker A:I just kept coming.
Speaker A:Carried on.
Speaker A:Not gonna lie.
Speaker A:This.
Speaker A:That looks like a lot of fun.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:If you've seen these two on the suicide squad and then watching them.
Speaker A:Now this.
Speaker A:This looks like a lot of fun.
Speaker A:I thought Andrew was gonna fall out.
Speaker B:Of her Chair trying.
Speaker B:You can't see me.
Speaker B:I was like, the momentum was gonna have her fall out the chair.
Speaker B:I have.
Speaker B:I am locked into this thing.
Speaker A:Oh, my goodness.
Speaker B:Actors, like, are made a name for themselves so much.
Speaker B:Now they can just start having fun.
Speaker B:And this just looks like it's gonna be so much fun.
Speaker B:And I love that they're not taking it too seriously.
Speaker B:No.
Speaker B:I thought they were gonna switch it at first.
Speaker B:It would have been hilarious.
Speaker B:John Cena was a prime minister and Idris was the.
Speaker C:I don't know if I can do it.
Speaker C:John Cena doing two hours.
Speaker A:I don't know.
Speaker A:John Cena accent, though.
Speaker A:That.
Speaker A:That might be different.
Speaker B:I.
Speaker B:I would.
Speaker B:I would do it.
Speaker B:I would definitely want to hear it.
Speaker B:Maintaining that would be hard as hell.
Speaker A:That's for sure.
Speaker C:I'm telling you.
Speaker C:Jack Quaid said the boys might be ending.
Speaker C:My career is just beginning.
Speaker A:Right?
Speaker A:Yeah, man.
Speaker A:He's getting a check after check.
Speaker A:I'm gonna still get money regardless.
Speaker A:See, he was.
Speaker A:He was talking to Carl Urban.
Speaker A:That's why he was just like, whatever you do, do something else, and then do something else after that.
Speaker A:That's it.
Speaker C:On top of being a Nepo baby, we appreciate.
Speaker C:We appreciate you staying out of trouble, kid.
Speaker A:Right, right.
Speaker B:Appreciate a Nepo baby.
Speaker B:Who knows they're a nipple baby and then.
Speaker B:But, like, has the talent to not be one.
Speaker A:Yeah, that's that part.
Speaker A:Yes, he is.
Speaker B:But he's good enough to not be one.
Speaker B:It's like, okay.
Speaker B:Eventually we'll know.
Speaker B:Okay, you're good.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:We appreciate an unproblematic Nepo baby.
Speaker B:Yes.
Speaker A:Staying out of trouble and just baking and just making television shows that we love.
Speaker A:We appreciate it.
Speaker B:Calling out his dad for crazy stuff.
Speaker A:I mean, you came.
Speaker A:You came from.
Speaker B:No comment.
Speaker A:You came from the guy who say, why can't you be more like your son?
Speaker A:That part.
Speaker A:I'm just saying.
Speaker A:Oh, man.
Speaker A:Lady Mandalore.
Speaker A:Hey.
Speaker A:See?
Speaker A:See, she knows what I'm talking.
Speaker A:Check after check after deck.
Speaker B:And in the crossover episode.
Speaker B:Hilarious.
Speaker B:But this movie's gonna be funny.
Speaker A:Oh, yeah.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker C:This is definitely.
Speaker C:This is an immediate watch.
Speaker A:Is these types of films that, you know, you don't always have to have no shade to sinners, but you don't always have to have a film that has a symbolic meeting.
Speaker A:You don't always have to have something that's action packed and serious.
Speaker A:It's good to have an action comedy with the right vehicle, with the right people in front.
Speaker A:And here you are with the right people in front.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:Go ahead, Andrew.
Speaker B:No I find it hilarious that this movie is like the comedy version of the one that just came out on Prime.
Speaker C:Like G20.
Speaker B:G20.
Speaker B:And the reason I'm calling it the comedy version is because, like, she had like a little like, thing with the prime minister where.
Speaker B:Of England, where he was just much more of a baby, though.
Speaker B:Security breach and like the world leaders in trouble and all that, like, you know, trying to save.
Speaker B:I found.
Speaker B:It's like, oh, wait, this is hilarious.
Speaker A:I like the fact that she said, I'm not gonna wear these heels.
Speaker A:I'm gonna wear these, these.
Speaker B:Because honestly, why, why, why do my feet have to hurt?
Speaker A:You see how long this gown is?
Speaker A:They're not gonna be looking at my feet now, right?
Speaker A:So, yeah, it's, it's, it's definitely this.
Speaker A:This is on my what to watch list.
Speaker A:And, and it's looking good to begin with.
Speaker A:So shout out to that entire team.
Speaker A:That just.
Speaker A:That's just going to be a good, fun Friday night watch.
Speaker A:Anyway, so we get a lot of good stuff for the summer, so.
Speaker A:I don't know.
Speaker A:Whoopty.
Speaker A:What did you think?
Speaker A:What?
Speaker B:I'm sorry, why?
Speaker A:You're in a glass case promotion.
Speaker A:Why did I.
Speaker A:Why did you take the joke from me?
Speaker A:I was gonna say.
Speaker B:The mic is on, but something's getting picked up.
Speaker B:But we can't hear you.
Speaker A:Right?
Speaker A:Hold on, let me see.
Speaker B:We're calling from inside the house.
Speaker A:Whoopi, you in danger, girl?
Speaker C:Georgia storms and came for you again.
Speaker A:Nope, it's a hang.
Speaker A:Oh, my God.
Speaker A:Not a hang.
Speaker A:Not a hang.
Speaker B:I love hand signals too, you know, like, I get super pumped up.
Speaker A:My sign language is rusty.
Speaker A:Pump it up gets her mic under control.
Speaker A:What you think?
Speaker B:Okay, if I, if I.
Speaker B:If I remove the pro wrestling fan in myself and decide to give it a chance?
Speaker B:I think it'll be fun.
Speaker A:If you.
Speaker B:Put the right actors together for a comedy.
Speaker B:So someone said, help that baby.
Speaker A:She needs some milk.
Speaker B:If you put the right elements together, comedy actions that I just haven't had no interest in.
Speaker B:But it's always the charisma between the, the actors that make it fun and make you want to sit down and watch it and make a mess with popcorn.
Speaker B:Especially when you're screaming at the screen.
Speaker B:I feel like I'd be screaming at the screen for this one, so.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:But on the other side of it, John Cena.
Speaker A:That's all I gotta say.
Speaker A:All right, try it now, Whoopi.
Speaker B:There we go.
Speaker B:We said we can't hear you.
Speaker A:No.
Speaker A:What'd you think of it whoopty.
Speaker B:Oh, it looks like it'll be the kind of movie that, you know, you could just watch and turn off your brain, like.
Speaker B:And enjoy like a Scott Pilgrim versus the world.
Speaker B:That's the kind of movie I could just throw on and watch anytime it's on and enjoy it every time.
Speaker A:Single time, no matter which person that is.
Speaker A:It's funny seeing Scott Pilgrim is the ex girlfriend show up at the door.
Speaker A:Is Scott home?
Speaker A:No.
Speaker A:And you see him diving out the window.
Speaker A:That's still hilarious.
Speaker B:And then.
Speaker A:And then reach back in and grab the jacket just right GR a hor.
Speaker A:What did you think?
Speaker B:I.
Speaker B:I'm g.
Speaker B:Say the same thing.
Speaker B:Like, I didn't know that I could actually enjoy Address and John Cena together.
Speaker B:That is a interesting pairing that I would have never guessed to see together.
Speaker B:But at the same time, like, looking at.
Speaker B:It's like, all right, I can see this.
Speaker B:I can see this Lady Mandalore saying Satisman is whoopty.
Speaker B:It just feels like something you could turn on and just put your brain on autopilot and, you know, blink at the appropriate times and also then laugh.
Speaker A:When she said the same sentiment as Whoopi, I was like, what?
Speaker A:The Hanks.
Speaker A:I'm like, just keep coming from them.
Speaker A:Tafari.
Speaker C:I mean, I'm not the biggest wrestling person, but I've watched both of these two take less and less serious roles with serious roles at the the same time, so I'm down for it.
Speaker C:I think it's.
Speaker C:It'll be a good weekend watch.
Speaker C:This would definitely be your typical get out the house summer blockbuster type of film.
Speaker A:I don't think Idris can take a comedy role and not be serious.
Speaker B:That's the comedy.
Speaker A:That's the comedy.
Speaker A:Like, even.
Speaker A:Even in the Suicide Squad, he took himself serious amongst a bunch of buffoonery.
Speaker A:We need blood sport.
Speaker C:Yeah, we need bloodsport back.
Speaker C:By the way.
Speaker C:Y'all can't just.
Speaker C:That's not a oneand done character that.
Speaker A:It really isn't.
Speaker A:But depending where Gun wants to put him, especially after the whole ego contest between Peace trying to.
Speaker A:Y'all killed all these people and they were on your side.
Speaker A:They were the rebels.
Speaker A:I'mma be completely honest.
Speaker A:I think he's gonna show.
Speaker A:I think he's gonna show up somewhere in season two.
Speaker C:I hope so.
Speaker B:I.
Speaker A:It's James Gunn.
Speaker B:I hated.
Speaker B:I.
Speaker B:I hated that.
Speaker B:I like that show.
Speaker C:I very much held it because I don't forgive him.
Speaker B:I still don't give him for the movie.
Speaker C:I held a grudge for Rick Flag too.
Speaker C:So when he finally started crashing out halfway through the season, I'm like, okay.
Speaker A:Maybe this is because I was like.
Speaker B:No, he doesn't get a redemption arc.
Speaker A:Anybody but.
Speaker A:Anybody but him.
Speaker B:Like you're trying to be.
Speaker B:Oh my God.
Speaker B:Like, are you really?
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:Because the dad's even is like three times as worse.
Speaker A:He's like, you're just like, I gotta like the kid now.
Speaker A:When you see where.
Speaker A:You see where he came from.
Speaker A:You understand?
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker C:We see why you are the way you are.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:You have to be that person because you're.
Speaker A:You could.
Speaker A:You don't even get along with your father, so.
Speaker C:Not for lack of trying.
Speaker A:Right?
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:No.
Speaker A:That he's like, I like everything else.
Speaker A:But I will never forgive you for Rick Flag.
Speaker A:I'm sorry.
Speaker A:Right?
Speaker C:And y'all want to twist the knife in Creature Commandos too.
Speaker A:Oh, yeah.
Speaker C:Your son was killed in battle.
Speaker C:You lying.
Speaker C:Half of you like, what?
Speaker A:It's still too soon.
Speaker A:Still too soon.
Speaker C:And then it's.
Speaker C:His dad is in the Superman movie.
Speaker C:So it's like the lie continues.
Speaker C:Three films in.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:You're never gonna.
Speaker A:Are you ever going to find out?
Speaker A:So.
Speaker A:Depends on Waller.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker B:He's not gonna find out.
Speaker C:Or somebody.
Speaker C:I mean, if Lazarus Pits are around.
Speaker A:Oh, okay.
Speaker C:Don't pump fake us like Harley Quinn did.
Speaker C:That's all I ask.
Speaker A:Jesus.
Speaker A:In our final trailer that I was not expecting.
Speaker A:I.
Speaker A:It'll not lessen.
Speaker A:Well, not this soon anyway.
Speaker A:Predator Badlands teaser trailer dropped and you are a Predator fan.
Speaker B:That was me.
Speaker C:The timing of our cosplay community.
Speaker C:Jesus.
Speaker A:Jesus Christ.
Speaker A:Right?
Speaker A:Cosplay.
Speaker A:Eric Moran.
Speaker A:Sir Julius Cosplay.
Speaker A:Like.
Speaker C:Shauna.
Speaker C:And I think I'm forgetting one other name.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:Shout out to them because they just did a whole thing.
Speaker A:Psycho Image Films did a nice little short about.
Speaker A:Along with.
Speaker A:Along with Hill Swan's kid, who plays a soldier.
Speaker A:I.
Speaker A:I was just like, that's funny to me right now.
Speaker A:BT help Hubert.
Speaker C:So, yeah, I never seen a female Predator, but they pulled it off nicely.
Speaker C:And then like the cosplay transition.
Speaker C:Because Home Girl was one of the Steve Harvey's from last year.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker A:In that video we shot, Tafari's neck broke.
Speaker A:He was like, that ain't well.
Speaker C:Because I saw her like last year.
Speaker A:This.
Speaker C:I'm like, that's quite the transition.
Speaker C:I didn't know you like.
Speaker C:One was very simple.
Speaker C:This one was like, I didn't know you was capable of this the whole time.
Speaker A:So we're going to check out Predator Badlands right now.
Speaker A:I didn't think you survived.
Speaker A:You're hunting something.
Speaker B:That can't be killed.
Speaker A:That.
Speaker B:Wait, it's coming out in theaters?
Speaker B:I thought it was coming out to Hulu.
Speaker A:No, that's the anthology series.
Speaker C:Yeah, that's what I've been saying.
Speaker C:Hulu's gonna be the.
Speaker C:The.
Speaker C:The show.
Speaker C:And the show is gonna alley oop to this.
Speaker C:And I wouldn't be surprised if we get lore for each episode which then circles full way in this movie.
Speaker C:Because even the breakdown with that, all I caught was the.
Speaker C:The Android from Alien being in this movie.
Speaker A:Let's talk of those trophy skulls right now.
Speaker C:Yeah.
Speaker A:We about to say that Kong is hanging on that Kong.
Speaker A:Or a Congo.
Speaker A:Look, I said it in our group chat before.
Speaker A:I said imagine a world where you have.
Speaker A:Obviously gonna have the Engineers.
Speaker A:It looks like one of those skulls belongs to the Engineers, which was from Alien Covenant.
Speaker A:Another skull looks like the skull from a T.
Speaker A:Rex, possibly Jurassic Park.
Speaker A:Another skull does look like an ape like skull, which could be a.
Speaker A:Not Kong, but a Kong type creature.
Speaker A:And then another one that could possibly be aliens from Independence.
Speaker A:Independence Day.
Speaker A:I don't know yet.
Speaker A:The verdict is still out.
Speaker C:Independence Day or War of the Worlds.
Speaker A:Is the war of the world.
Speaker A:Right?
Speaker A:War of the Worlds will be easier to do because it starts going to ID4.
Speaker A:I told the group, I said imagine a world where you got.
Speaker A:You're.
Speaker A:You're human and you're living in this world.
Speaker A:You're dealing with xenomorphs, engineers, predators.
Speaker A:No, it's.
Speaker A:It's Kaiju, but only you.
Speaker A:But for the majority of it, you treat the same way.
Speaker A:Like most black posture horror movies.
Speaker A:Hey, would you go.
Speaker A:Would you like to rate a cargo ship in space for no other reason but maximum profit?
Speaker A:That I don't know about.
Speaker A:Nope.
Speaker A:Credits.
Speaker B:What was that sound?
Speaker B:It was that way.
Speaker B:I'm gonna go this way.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:They got Alien Earth coming out too.
Speaker C:And I'm curious to where that lines up with whatever this movie is doing.
Speaker A:And that's supposed to be on fx, so that's all.
Speaker A:That's a whole another thing of a xenomorph field ship landing on Earth.
Speaker C:So that'll be on Hulu too then.
Speaker A:Is what I'm hearing as a human.
Speaker A:I'm good.
Speaker A:I'm good.
Speaker A:Would you rather.
Speaker A:No, I'm.
Speaker A:I'm good.
Speaker A:I.
Speaker A:Where's my.
Speaker A:Where's my flamethrower and where's my smart gun?
Speaker C:What you say?
Speaker A:Go ahead.
Speaker B:Someone who has AVP on, like, I have it and it's always Downloaded on my phone.
Speaker B:Oh, I just redownload it, but it's always on my phone.
Speaker B:And I can watch it whenever I fly, whenever.
Speaker B:Just.
Speaker B:Oh, I don't have service.
Speaker B:Let's watch avp.
Speaker B:I'm so excited.
Speaker B:I don't like the aliens.
Speaker B:I don't like the aliens at the Xenomorph.
Speaker B:Scare me.
Speaker B:For the predators, they hunt for a reason.
Speaker B:As long as you're not the reason, you're good.
Speaker A:Yeah, exactly.
Speaker A:Yeah, pretty much.
Speaker A:But as long as you're not on their radar.
Speaker B:You don't want to be the best at something because then that's when.
Speaker B:Like that one movie, Predators, where they were all on the.
Speaker B:All you gotta do is just not be the best.
Speaker B:And that's fine with me because they're not gonna hunt the best writer.
Speaker B:They don't want.
Speaker A:That is kind of slick, disrespectful.
Speaker A:When that one predator came up on that one guy, he knew he had cancer or something, and he just sat there and said, you're not worth it.
Speaker C:There's no.
Speaker C:There's no hunt in a die.
Speaker C:There's no hunt in a dying animal.
Speaker C:I'm also curious, like, is this.
Speaker C:Is this like a teenage one going through a trial?
Speaker C:Because, like, he's young, no mask, no real armor, the chip tooth.
Speaker A:I thought he was rejected.
Speaker B:Or is he off?
Speaker B: The: Speaker B:Because why does the hunter have human DNA and he looks more humanoid than any of the other ones.
Speaker B:Yeah.
Speaker B:So I'm thinking this is like.
Speaker C:Yeah, he also did look like.
Speaker C:He also did look like he was going through his.
Speaker C:Like he was going through a teenage, like, hair phase as well, along with.
Speaker C:And then somebody was getting Sparta kicked off a cliff at one point.
Speaker C:So he might be the last of a dying tribe.
Speaker A:Wow.
Speaker A:It was a whole.
Speaker C:There was a whole look.
Speaker C:Look at it again.
Speaker C:There's a whole Lion King sequence of somebody staring down as somebody is falling or getting kicked off.
Speaker A:No, you got a good point.
Speaker C:When it says hurt, I'm like, he might be the last.
Speaker C:Kind of like what Demetrius is trying to tell us in the group chat.
Speaker C:There might different tribes, and these might be descendants of people that the engineers tampered with but couldn't control.
Speaker C:And now it's.
Speaker C:Who knows?
Speaker A:But engineers are worse than humans.
Speaker A:They were just tampering with everything.
Speaker A:I'm like, why?
Speaker A:Why I would say this.
Speaker A:I'm just glad for a different predator story that's all I asked.
Speaker A:I wanted.
Speaker A:I wanted a different predator story because you could always go up against aliens.
Speaker A:You can always go up against humans.
Speaker A:Why not give the predators some.
Speaker A:An adversary that's literally unbeatable.
Speaker A:Even prey was fantastic.
Speaker A:It was in its inception.
Speaker A:Nobody knew this was a predator film like that.
Speaker A:Man.
Speaker C:I wish.
Speaker C:I wish somebody had filmed that trailer reveal a dream con.
Speaker C:Because like for the first two minutes we had no idea what was coming on.
Speaker C:They're just like, yeah, we have to run a promotion because we got bills.
Speaker C:And then when like the click starts coming through and the bear, he is like in the.
Speaker C:It was like, oh, this is a predator film.
Speaker C:We had no idea what we were looking at.
Speaker C:Like we were locked in.
Speaker C:But like the crowd lost it.
Speaker A:Of course you like a good predator film.
Speaker A:I'm.
Speaker A:I'm just saying I love.
Speaker A:I love her.
Speaker C:The white.
Speaker C:The white hair.
Speaker B:Like a predator.
Speaker B:Don't come for me.
Speaker B:I'm not fierce.
Speaker B:I will photograph your fierce trust.
Speaker B:Like I sleep with a knife next to my bed.
Speaker B:But like, not enough to like, you.
Speaker A:Know, you're not Danny Glover out here.
Speaker A:You're just not.
Speaker A:Just like.
Speaker B:I'm not trying to be out there fighting like.
Speaker B:You got it.
Speaker B:Boo.
Speaker B:And that's annihilation.
Speaker A:A predator on that.
Speaker A:A predator was.
Speaker C:They hit her with the thug tat at the end.
Speaker C:It's like you killed the queen and brought the body out.
Speaker B:Good luck of.
Speaker B:That story is hilarious.
Speaker A:I know a lot of people don't.
Speaker C:Like that first one, but I thought it was okay for his time it.
Speaker C:I was entertained.
Speaker C:I think the game needs to be redone.
Speaker B:I agree.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:Looking forward to that.
Speaker C:I'm just with the white haired predator is about that.
Speaker C:That.
Speaker C:Is that like a shaman.
Speaker C:Like a whole new.
Speaker A:They have a shot.
Speaker A:It's a shaman version.
Speaker A:They do have a shaman predator.
Speaker A:They have a shaman, then they have a warrior and then there's a bunch of them in between.
Speaker A:Like, I don't know how I feel.
Speaker B:About white hair reference here.
Speaker B:Okay.
Speaker B:I don't know how to feel about that.
Speaker A:Clearly.
Speaker C:Clearly.
Speaker B:That's the buzz word to keep people getting trouble.
Speaker A:It's wisdom.
Speaker A:No, it's not.
Speaker B:I am old as.
Speaker B:Okay.
Speaker B:I have a couple of those coming in.
Speaker A:So, you know, I'll go say Navy because I've already.
Speaker A:I've got just as much if not more white hair than you do.
Speaker B:That was a low key slander.
Speaker B:Don't play.
Speaker A:I do got more than Navy does.
Speaker A:I'm gonna tell you why Navy.
Speaker A:Navy has the majestic Beard that he can go literally as the guy that knows everything, or you can go as Master Roshi.
Speaker A:The man has options is what I'm pointing out.
Speaker A:I go around.
Speaker A:I get mistaken as an extra from Congo.
Speaker A:He goes around.
Speaker A:Oh, my God.
Speaker A:He.
Speaker C:He at least seemed like he was an elder leading the charge on another tribe or something, because we see him standing over another dismembered predator at the time.
Speaker A:So I can't.
Speaker A:Yeah, like, he's crawling away.
Speaker A:Like, he's.
Speaker A:He's beaten and his arm is cut off.
Speaker A:You can see his arm that's cut off.
Speaker A:So, yeah, it's.
Speaker B:I'm gonna have to re.
Speaker B:Watch this.
Speaker A:Yeah, it is definitely.
Speaker C:I'm also curious why.
Speaker C:Why it had.
Speaker C:Why one of them even has one of the Predator, the alien.
Speaker C:What is it?
Speaker A:Androids or whatever, you know, who is she talking to?
Speaker C:Because that was about that.
Speaker C:I'm like, who is this white woman that's about to survive the whole film for no reason?
Speaker C:Like, oh, she's a robot.
Speaker C:Okay, never mind.
Speaker A:That makes me go.
Speaker A:That makes thinking Prometheus all over again, though.
Speaker A:Yeah, that's where my mind went.
Speaker C:When I saw her eyes go white, I was like, isn't that the same as the black dude in the other film?
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:Which.
Speaker A:Go back and watch that one.
Speaker A:That's a good one.
Speaker A:Like, if you liked Alien, the very first one.
Speaker B:Energy in that movie.
Speaker B:Yeah, those give.
Speaker A:Yeah, they, they, they, they.
Speaker A:They rounded the block on that one.
Speaker A:I'm like, oh, yeah, this is.
Speaker A:This is the first version.
Speaker A:Energy all day.
Speaker A:Like, I actually had a jump scare in that.
Speaker A:In that one.
Speaker A:I'm like, yo.
Speaker A:I was like, wait a minute.
Speaker A:Not the jump scare.
Speaker A:Oh, yeah.
Speaker A:I don't get jump scares.
Speaker A:And I'm just like, oh, damn.
Speaker A:So, yeah, it def.
Speaker A:It's.
Speaker A:It's a screaming at the screen.
Speaker A:At the screen moment.
Speaker A:Like, why is you.

Speaker A:It ain't nothing left in it.
Speaker A:Stop shooting at them.

Speaker A:They were just waiting.
Speaker A:I'm like, I'll just make sure ain't no damage here.
Speaker A:I.
Speaker A:I just can't get out of here.
Speaker A:I can't leave yet.

Speaker A:Safari TV talk.
Speaker A:The people.

Speaker C:So it is.
Speaker C:It's what I think they said.
Speaker C:Five stories high, seven across, not an inch of screen goes unused.
Speaker B:Correct.

Speaker A:A trip for that down to the Science center because you don't have another one.
Speaker B:You get the film thingy at the 71.
Speaker C:No, that's.
Speaker C:That's what I'm saying.
Speaker C:The group before me got the last of them.
Speaker C:So the fact that there's only eight theaters that are doing that promotion, but you only made enough of the thing to last, like, half a day, that's the end.
Speaker C:That is talk to your promotion teams or.
