He was doing the bagging board and he was going through all his covers and everything else and all the, all the, all the gyms he's already.

Speaker A:

He already owns through, through a certain gentleman who either didn't care or didn't realize what he was sitting on.

Speaker E:

I'll say it once and I will say it again as my screen is froze.

Speaker E:

That man is sitting on other stuff.

If he gave that away, he didn't care.

Speaker D:

He genuinely care.

Speaker A:

Look, there's.

Speaker D:

There.

Speaker A:

That's why, you know, when they did the what if series, I was excited.

Speaker A:

It's literally a series that you can take a break and come back and do more stories later on.

Speaker A:

You.

Speaker A:

You can get Away with it.

Speaker A:

What ifs are.

Speaker A:

Are literally endless stories.

Speaker D:

There are so much source material that you could create the what if series animated just by the story lines that came out from the comics.

Speaker D:

It is unbelievable.

Speaker D:

And like I said before, this is an introduction to new characters that this generation knows a little about.

Speaker E:

Not.

Speaker A:

Absolute gems.

Speaker E:

Yes.

Speaker D:

Everything goes like.

Speaker D:

I hope I will be doing backing and boarding on Tick Tock for here on.

Speaker D:

Because I have to re.

Speaker D:

Bag and board my entire collection.

Speaker D:

So I will be.

Speaker D:

I think that's going to be a thing I do on Tick Tock.

Speaker E:

I must say, if that man comes back I know.

Speaker E:

He said he used to know a lot.

Speaker D:

Dude, the blessing.

Speaker D:

I'm.

Speaker D:

Let me tell you, I started bagging and boarding everything.

Speaker D:

And let me tell you.

Speaker A:

Yo.

Speaker A:

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker D:

The Dollar Adventure comics, man, that was.

Speaker D:

That was.

Speaker D:

That was value right there.

Speaker E:

Especially with Aquaman Dead man.

Speaker C:

Flat.

Speaker E:

Oh, yeah.

Speaker E:

Yes, yes.

Speaker A:

Ah, man, look.

Speaker A:

Well, Spartan, you were in the live.

Speaker A:

You were watching Alive, like I was watching the live.

Speaker C:

And.

Speaker A:

What Navy had.

Speaker A:

What he was bagging.

Speaker A:

Boring.

Speaker A:

Then, look, here I was.

Speaker A:

I was making dinner, and I kept.

Speaker A:

Look, I'm like, yo, wait, wait.

Speaker A:

I can't.

Speaker A:

Oh, I can't rewind it.

Speaker A:

It's live.

Speaker A:

Let me stop for a second and watch cooking dinner while you're doing this.

Speaker D:

Because your wife will get mad because you're gonna burn some.

Speaker E:

I will say the same thing then, that I sat there in the live.

Speaker E:

I'm not jealous.

Speaker E:

I'm not jealous, but dang it, if that.

Speaker E:

Man, I was telling.

Speaker A:

I was telling.

Speaker E:

Maybe I was telling Navy in the live.

Speaker E:

Look, either he doesn't care or he's gauging to see what else he can bring.

Speaker E:

It's either one of the two.

Speaker E:

He knows what he has.

Speaker E:

He's gauging on something because he's.

Speaker D:

Dude, he sold us the first appearance of Punisher.

Speaker E:

Willingly.

Speaker D:

Yes.

Speaker D:

I did the appraisal on this comic collection.

Speaker D:

So if I was.

Speaker D:

If I was.

Speaker D:

If I was dirty, if I was low down, which I'm not, I would have got.

Speaker D:

I would have gotten some things, but I am not built like that.

Speaker E:

This man sold the first entrance of the Punisher.

Speaker D:

The first appearance of the Punisher.

Speaker D:

First appearance.

Speaker A:

Has he.

Speaker E:

Does he.

Speaker E:

Does he have money?

Speaker D:

He has a storage unit.

Speaker D:

Lately, we've been getting a lot of people who have been bringing in stuff that they've gotten for cleaning out houses.

Speaker D:

It's been insane.

Speaker D:

Today, another dude came in.

Speaker D:

He brought magic cards.

Speaker D:

He brought the Doctor who card game, the vampire card game, and, of course, some comics.

Speaker D:

So I now have Catwoman number one, Groot number one, Uncanny X Men 400 and a few others.

Speaker A:

No.

Speaker E:

No.

Speaker F:

Yeah.

Speaker D:

He said, do you want these comics?

Speaker D:

I don't want.

Speaker D:

I said, sure.

Speaker A:

Click up.

Speaker E:

See, I ain't gonna lie.

Speaker E:

I would have to go outside and see where he's driving.

Speaker A:

Because.

Speaker E:

If he's driving something nice, I'd be like, you know what?

Speaker E:

Lanes a lot.

Speaker D:

Sir, we are not doing it.

Speaker E:

I'm not telling.

Speaker E:

I'm not telling you to stalk the person.

Speaker E:

I'm just saying listen for the engine sound.

Speaker E:

That's everything.

Speaker E:

You want to know?

Speaker D:

Oh my gosh.

Speaker D:

Oh my goodness.

Speaker A:

Look, it's, it's, it's wild.

Speaker D:

And since Lifty popped up in here, somebody brought in the in.

Speaker D:

I think the entire first 20 issues of someone is Killing the Children.

Speaker A:

Nice.

Speaker A:

Listen.

Speaker C:

Like I said folks, I love that writer.

Speaker D:

Let me tell you, never misses.

Speaker D:

He does not miss God.

Speaker A:

And I'm preaching to the choir because I know the people, the people that's in our audience right now, that's, that's watching this.

Speaker A:

They know, but you don't.

Speaker A:

But the, for the people who's going to watch later or the listeners, let me tell you something.

Speaker A:

A real fan of the genre will never care about price.

Speaker E:

Right?

Speaker D:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

They will care about that story.

Speaker A:

They will care about that moment in time where they were at.

Speaker A:

They, that's all that matters.

Speaker A:

Like it could, it could that.

Speaker A:

Trust me.

Speaker A:

My grandmother bought me as a Superman comic.

Speaker A:

Whatever happened to the man of Tomorrow?

Speaker A:

That that cover was tattered to hell.

Speaker A:

And I didn't care as a, as a 10 year old kid.

Speaker A:

All I was trying to figure out was these are all different stories of Superman.

Speaker A:

I have no idea what's going on, but it's Superman.

Speaker A:

See that just that just it, it didn't matter to me.

Speaker A:

And I still have that book cover.

Speaker A:

Tattered to Hell is bagged, it's boarded, you know, in, in Navy and Spartan.

Speaker A:

You can test it.

Speaker A:

The quality of the COVID the paper that they use then.

Speaker D:

Oh yeah, and I talked about that too.

Speaker D:

The difference between Marvel and DC and the paper quality.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker D:

It's so evident with time.

Speaker D:

Because Marvel holds up better than D.C.

Speaker E:

Because they don't, they don't use cotton.

Speaker A:

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker A:

In their paper.

Speaker D:

That's the, I mean fines, they fold over, over time.

Speaker D:

The 20 cent era, they, they did that and I was like why is comm looking like a double size?

Speaker D:

What the hell?

Speaker E:

That was the reason I, I kind of like my agricult, my agricultural class back then.

Speaker E:

That was the only reason.

Speaker E:

Oh.

Speaker A:

Glory, glory, glory.

Speaker A:

My, my, my.

Speaker D:

This is one of the ones he actually gave me.

Speaker E:

Again, willingly, Willingly, sir.

Speaker E:

I'm not saying you threatening people Navy, but I'm like willingly gotta be threatening.

Speaker A:

Yes, right.

Speaker A:

If it's there.

Speaker A:

Right.

Speaker E:

No, I don't mean to make it seem maybe like you're not like you're a very charming individual.

Speaker E:

Let's just be honest about that.

Speaker E:

The point I'm getting at is this man, like I said, I think he, I think he's trying to see.

Speaker E:

Okay, they'll take this.

Speaker E:

They'll take this.

Speaker E:

What if I bring in what I'm holding on to and see what he says then?

Speaker D:

If I took.

Speaker D:

If I showed you the size of the boxes that he brought in right.

Speaker A:

Now, I. I wonder.

Speaker A:

I wonder if he's doing that for someone and that someone might be Nicholas Cage.

Speaker A:

I'm just saying that would be.

Speaker E:

You know what?

Speaker D:

That's diabolical, bro.

Speaker E:

You'll know, because if he brings in a Superman number one and be like, I. I have this for a buyer.

Speaker A:

And he owns, like, he owns several copies of that.

Speaker A:

Yeah, that's how big of a Superman fan Nicholas Cage is.

Speaker A:

I mean, the fact the man's name is Nicholas Cage.

Speaker A:

His.

Speaker A:

One of his favorite characters is Luke Cage.

Speaker A:

That's where his.

Speaker A:

He's not even a Cage by birth.

Speaker D:

So here's a question for all y'.

Speaker E:

All.

Speaker D:

Do you remember the first comic that you ever got that got the ball rolling for you?

Speaker E:

Batman254.

Speaker A:

That.

Speaker A:

That Superman cover I told you about?

Speaker A:

That Superman that did it.

Speaker A:

I mean, that.

Speaker A:

That I was always involved in comics in some.

Speaker A:

In a.

Speaker A:

In some form, but because I was always a fan of Superman, you know, issues.

Speaker C:

Yeah, Like, I could see the issues.

Speaker C:

And I don't remember the numbers.

Speaker C:

I remember one was a X Men comic.

Speaker D:

Okay?

Speaker A:

That's all that matters.

Speaker A:

You say, say less.

Speaker C:

And the other one was.

Speaker E:

Oh, yo.

Speaker D:

That was the OG before there was OGs.

Speaker D:

He came down.

Speaker D:

He says, y' all feelings.

Speaker D:

I'm going after these race.

Speaker D:

What are y' all talking about?

Speaker E:

Right?

Speaker D:

Gonna be your friend.

Speaker D:

I'm trying to take them out.

Speaker D:

You in the way.

Speaker D:

You in the way.

Speaker E:

Like, oh, this.

Speaker D:

This don't care, Bama.

Speaker A:

You just.

Speaker A:

You tapped into it.

Speaker A:

He said, we need more black writers.

Speaker A:

And I realized that I should do it myself.

Speaker A:

And all my ideas certainly came screaming out.

Speaker A:

Yes.

Speaker E:

That's how it starts.

Speaker E:

That.

Speaker E:

That's how that.

Speaker A:

That's how.

Speaker E:

That is the birth of a writer.

Speaker E:

Not only is it the birth of a writer, it's the birth of a universe.

Speaker A:

Byrne era, great era was set:

Speaker A:

There's actually.

Speaker A:

They.

Speaker A:

People on Tick Tock are actually.

Speaker A:

I wish I could remember the channel's names, but they are actually giving, like, recommendations on what X Men comics to read.

Speaker A:

Like, certain errors.

Speaker A:

And.

Speaker A:

And the errors that they pick are.

Speaker A:

Number one, they're the classic errors.

Speaker A:

And then they pick Morrison's run.

Speaker A:

Yep, yep.

Speaker A:

You know, and then they picked the last Krakoan run, which has been fantastic.

Speaker D:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

You know, Every run that he picked, you know, even, Even the Fort, the Phoenix Five, even that, Even that era when, when, when the Phoenix Force came back.

Speaker E:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

With a, With a vengeance, man.

Speaker D:

That whole AVX run was avx.

Speaker D:

It was insane.

Speaker E:

It's true.

Speaker A:

Definitely.

Speaker A:

Some.

Speaker A:

It was, is, it's, it's something different, man.

Speaker E:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

People that really wonder why we are in love with comics.

Speaker A:

It's the stories, it's the memories.

Speaker A:

It's what it, just, what it means is like, it's the conversations when you hear people say, oh, I don't like politics and comics.

Speaker A:

I said, politics and comics go hand in hand.

Speaker A:

And it's always been there.

Speaker E:

Don't read that.

Speaker E:

Don't read X Men.

Speaker A:

Yeah, don't read X Men.

Speaker A:

Don't read Captain America.

Speaker A:

Then if, if you feel that way, those are two books you just don't want to read.

Speaker E:

Or Marvel.

Speaker A:

Marvel's Run Star Wars.

Speaker E:

Don't read Punisher.

Speaker E:

Don't read Night Thrasher.

Speaker D:

Don't, don't read Daredevil.

Speaker D:

You said, you said there were two of them.

Speaker C:

Excellent comment.

Speaker C:

And the other one was Rom Space Night.

Speaker D:

Okay.

Speaker D:

Do you remember what it felt like to read that book?

Speaker D:

from:

Speaker D:

And I still have it.

Speaker A:

Wow.

Speaker A:

I, I only know of Little Audrey because there was a book my grandmother got me, and it talked about the art of comics and it talked about the progression of comics, and Little Audrey was one of those mentioned, you know, and then they started talking about the, the Phantom and the Spirit and then stretching all the way.

Speaker E:

It was a beautiful time.

Speaker A:

Oh, my God, that book.

Speaker A:

And I would, I knew it was a book, but I was, I was 14.

Speaker A:

I was so excited.

Speaker A:

Tearing open the package.

Speaker A:

She was like, before she could say, be careful, I had tore the COVID because it was, it was paper wrapped.

Speaker A:

Yeah, I, I, I was part of me.

Speaker A:

The heart dropped a little bit.

Speaker A:

However, I read that book cover to cover every single moment I had.

Speaker D:

No, Little Audrey wasn't a little Lulu clone.

Speaker D:

Okay, Bama, I'm gonna need you.

Speaker E:

That goes back to what we were saying.

Speaker E:

Like, this is the reason why comics resonate with us.

Speaker E:

I mean, it's, it's the story, sometimes the characters, and it's also representation.

Speaker E:

Let's be honest.

Speaker E:

We see there was a lot of our, There's a lot of ourselves we see in comics.

Speaker E:

Like, a lot of us could resonate with Isaiah Bradley.

Speaker E:

A lot of us could resonate with Black Panther.

Speaker E:

A lot of us could resonate with Mr.

Speaker E:

Terrific.

Speaker E:

And I can keep going down the list of, you know, not just African American characters, but just characters in general.

Speaker E:

So outside of stories, characters and just the overall theme of it all.

Speaker E:

I mean, again, we.

Speaker E:

We do love a great story, and at the same time, a lot of these comics are great stories, and this.

Speaker E:

You know, some of them are a little bit more graphic than others.

Speaker E:

But, hey, you get warm before you.

Speaker A:

Open the COVID You know, I'm glad you mentioned some are a little more graphic than others, because there was a time when There was a 800 number that you had to call to see if Jason Todd would live or D. And that's how we got.

Speaker A:

That's how we got the Red Hood or the.

Speaker A:

The latest iteration of Red Hood.

Speaker E:

I. I forgot.

Speaker A:

I forgot.

Speaker E:

The writer who came up with that.

Speaker E:

They said it was.

Speaker E:

They said it was a writer that came up with that idea and pitched it.

Speaker E:

And they.

Speaker A:

And I don't know if it was.

Speaker E:

A bet or something.

Speaker E:

They said.

Speaker E:

They said, you know, you're not getting anybody to call this number.

Speaker E:

Nobody's gonna call to find out.

Speaker A:

Oh, they called that number.

Speaker E:

Oh, they shut.

Speaker E:

They shut the.

Speaker E:

I think it was a switchboard got shut down researching.

Speaker E:

Right.

Speaker D:

But sorry, sorry.

Speaker D:

I had to bounce for a second.

Speaker D:

I just realized I had something for Whoopty.

Speaker D:

So the next time I'm down in.

Speaker E:

Atlanta in the Mansion.

Speaker C:

Oh, gosh.

Speaker E:

Oh, nice.

Speaker D:

So this is coming to you, my dear Lando.

Speaker C:

That looks dope.

Speaker E:

Nice.

Speaker A:

And see, that's the other thing.

Speaker A:

Really good comics have really good covers.

Speaker E:

Because you know what it is.

Speaker E:

It always comes down to.

Speaker E:

And I'm not saying.

Speaker E:

I'm not saying we as a people, but just we, as in comic book readers in general, we appreciate art.

Speaker E:

And if you take.

Speaker E:

And if you take care in the COVID that means you take care in the story.

Speaker E:

So, yeah, it all goes together.

Speaker A:

And people who are just getting it.

Speaker A:

If you.

Speaker A:

If you weren't there for the Alex Ross era.

Speaker A:

Jesus Christ, man.

Speaker D:

And his.

Speaker D:

His man, his variant covers that are coming out.

Speaker E:

Oh, man.

Speaker E:

That man said.

Speaker E:

That man said, I'm gonna put these out.

Speaker E:

And then I'm just gonna sit and let y' all just wonder, did I really do it?

Speaker E:

I was like, we know you did it because your style is unique.

Speaker A:

It's like the realism.

Speaker D:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Freaking.

Speaker A:

I'm like, so that's how he would look?

Speaker A:

Oh, that's how he would.

Speaker A:

And he didn't do it just for Marvel.

Speaker A:

He did for Marvel and dc, but.

Speaker D:

He'S One of the most reclusive people you'll ever meet.

Speaker D:

Yes, him.

Speaker D:

He, he does not make appearances very often.

Speaker D:

When he does, that means he is selective.

Speaker D:

There's a reason behind it.

Speaker D:

I can't remember the last time he made an appearance in San Diego.

Speaker D:

I cannot remember.

Speaker A:

See, there you go, Bama.

Speaker E:

Todd McFarlane's runs.

Speaker A:

Yeah, the runs on Todd McFarland for web of Spider man is, is a great run because it's how we got Venom.

Speaker A:

It's how we got that contortionist style of Spider man in the wild looking webs.

Speaker A:

It's.

Speaker A:

It's time is the reason.

Speaker D:

And we have that spider man.

Speaker D:

When McFarlane started his run at the store, we again, people don't know what they have.

Speaker D:

And I get the honor of looking at them and going, you serious?

Speaker D:

Okay.

Speaker E:

Hey, as long as you ask twice.

Speaker E:

Twice.

Speaker E:

Once is right.

Speaker E:

Twice is confirmed that way.

Speaker D:

Jay.

Speaker D:

I didn't even ask.

Speaker D:

He just said, I don't want these comics.

Speaker A:

You want these?

Speaker D:

Sure.

Speaker D:

And I went, oh, so and so would like this.

Speaker D:

So and so like this.

Speaker D:

I saw the Lando.

Speaker D:

I said, let's go and whoop these house.

Speaker E:

You learn better than I did.

Speaker E:

I, I learned to keep my mouth shut.

Speaker D:

What, what's the point of having this if I can't share with the people that love it?

Speaker E:

I'm not talking about that.

Speaker E:

I'm talking about informing the, informing what they have.

Speaker E:

That's why I said I learned to keep my mouth shut.

Speaker D:

Nah.

Speaker A:

Oh, yeah, yeah, he found.

Speaker A:

Yeah, I forgot the infamous, the infamous.

Speaker D:

Hotel.

Speaker A:

Yeah, that's what the original ass.

Speaker A:

Don't tell.

Speaker E:

Don't volunteer information if you wasn't asked.

Speaker A:

Look, I, I, but yeah, it is.

Speaker A:

I, I.

Speaker A:

Will I ever buy like in Spartan's case, will I ever buy a comic of, of that importance from a convention?

Speaker A:

Probably not only because I know.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

But will I gladly hunt one down?

Speaker A:

Oh, most definitely.

Speaker E:

But also at the same time, these mom and not to say these mom pop stories aren't bad.

Speaker E:

These mom and pop stores are freaking vital.

Speaker E:

But you got a few of them that if you walk in there and you go in their long boxes and you pull stuff out and you're just like, yeah, how much is this?

Speaker E:

You you went from, you know, usually go from.

Speaker E:

Do you know what you have to.

Speaker E:

How much is this?

Speaker E:

Is it really 25 cents?

Speaker E:

Okay, take it and run with it.

Speaker A:

This is why I love Carolyn.

Speaker A:

John's here in Cam's corner here in Cleveland, Ohio.

Speaker A:

John and I've told the story before, but John is.

Speaker A:

He's a firefighter for the city of Cleveland.

Speaker A:

He's actually, I think, a captain now.

Speaker A:

And thank you for your service.

Speaker A:

And his.

Speaker A:

His grandfather was an immigrant, and his grandfather learned to read.

Speaker A:

And I've heard a lot of these stories from other people whose parent.

Speaker A:

Grandparents were immigrants.

Speaker A:

His grandfather learned English reading comics, and he gave those comics to John, which started his love of.

Speaker A:

Of comics.

Speaker A:

And he's finished his entire run of Avengers.

Speaker A:

Classic Avengers.

Speaker A:

You know, it's like when you hit that pinnacle, you're just like, what else is there?

Speaker A:

There's nothing else.

Speaker A:

You're just.

Speaker A:

Now it's just like, I have the run I want.

Speaker A:

Everything else is just kind of.

Speaker E:

Also not to be educational, but kids actually do better if they read more.

Speaker A:

They do.

Speaker A:

My mother couldn't.

Speaker A:

My mother kept my face in the book.

Speaker A:

And.

Speaker A:

And look, it's therapeutic.

Speaker A:

I remember getting tips from the restaurant I used to work at and going right next door to spellbinders, which no longer exists.

Speaker A:

And.

Speaker A:

And using all my tips to get.

Speaker A:

And this was in the 90s.

Speaker A:

This was like.

Speaker A:

Like late 90s, getting X Men.

Speaker A:

Wow.

Speaker A:

Speaker E:

That's great minds right there.

Speaker E:

See, my.

See, my origin stories are slightly different because mom wanted me to study encyclopedias.

Speaker E:

Dad was like, here, get all the Batman comics you want.

Speaker A:

But I had it.

Speaker E:

But the compromise was I had to read the encyclopedia.

Speaker E:

I'm like, okay, so learn how to speed read, pick up on stuff.

Speaker D:

Hey, Chris, I need you to do me a favor.

Speaker A:

What's that?

You could.

Speaker E:

For all those that can't read.

Speaker E:

Reverend you might explain the significance of.

Avengers number one.

Speaker D:

This has got a lot of first appearances in it.

Speaker D:

And what's crazy about this, this issue is this when they started doing their king size, and they had a whole run of doing the king size, so.

Speaker D:

But it has no back cover.

Speaker E:

So let's see once again, spine's still intact.

Speaker A:

It doesn't matter.

Speaker A:

No, that.

Speaker A:

Those.

Speaker A:

Those.

Speaker A:

But it does.

Speaker A:

It goes.

Speaker A:

Once again.

Speaker A:

It's just.

Speaker A:

This is.

Speaker A:

My wife would ask me, why am I watching this animation of something before I go to bed?

Speaker A:

And I said, because it's.

Speaker A:

It's therapeutic for me.

Speaker D:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Like, I. I will play Batman brave and bowl Batman.

Speaker A:

The.

Speaker A:

I.

Speaker A:

If I put Batman and animated series on, I may not go to sleep.

Speaker A:

I'm just.

Speaker A:

I'm just gonna.

Speaker A:

I'm not gonna hold you down.

Speaker A:

I'm like, oh, that was this episode when Scarecrow almost got the upper hand.

Speaker E:

And this is why I can't play HBO Max at night.

Speaker E:

Because if I try to.

Speaker E:

If I play it at night, I.

Speaker A:

Might as well just stay up and.

Speaker E:

Might as well just stay up and just beat the kids up.

Speaker A:

Look, I was watching Pirates of the Caribbean the other night, starting with the first one, and I was just like, yeah, I'm not tired yet.

Speaker A:

Let me finish watching this.

Speaker A:

You know, I'll watch this and then let the second one play while I'm sleeping.

Speaker E:

See, that's why.

Speaker A:

I know I couldn't do that.

Speaker E:

I couldn't do that with Batman beyond because I'm like.

Speaker E:

And next episode Would you like to watch?

Speaker E:

No hbo, Max.

Speaker A:

I would.

Speaker E:

You don't care about my sleep.

Speaker A:

It's funny you mentioned that, baby.

Speaker D:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

My wife called herself turn the tv.

Speaker A:

Thought I was sleep.

Speaker A:

I was just like.

Speaker E:

I can see you.

Speaker E:

What are you doing?

Speaker E:

What are you doing?

Speaker D:

I wanna know who.

Speaker D:

I wanna know who did it.

Speaker D:

The hell you doing?

Speaker D:

I just wanna know.

Speaker A:

She's like, your eyes is closed.

Speaker A:

No, they weren't.

Speaker A:

My glasses are on.

Speaker E:

Focus my wife and svu.

Speaker E:

As soon as I turned off, I was watching.

Speaker E:

No, you was.

Speaker E:

You was bust off.

Speaker A:

Sworn you was out together.

Speaker A:

Keep them stuck.

Speaker D:

Just wake up.

Speaker D:

The butler did it is on.

Speaker D:

What are you talking about?

Speaker A:

Oh, man.

Speaker A:

So yeah, it's.

Speaker A:

I.

Speaker A:

But it does.

Speaker A:

Reading classic comics or anything like.

Speaker A:

Like Whoopty.

Speaker A:

Has a freaking library of.

Speaker D:

Yes.

Speaker A:

Of.

Speaker A:

Of tombs.

Speaker A:

Of tomes in her.

Speaker A:

In her possession.

Speaker A:

And when you get a chance, like I have complete runs of Sherlock Holmes.

Speaker E:

Nice.

Speaker D:

That's amazing.

Speaker A:

The Odyssey.

Speaker A:

You know, Greek.

Speaker A:

Greek gods and stories.

Speaker A:

Like I.

Speaker A:

My wife said, what did you bring this big old book home with Sherlock?

Speaker A:

I was like, he's actually like one of my favorite characters.

Speaker E:

And Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Speaker E:

I gotta give.

Speaker E:

Between him and him and writing Moriarty.

Speaker E:

Him and him in the final case in Moriarty.

Speaker E:

And I was like, that's why the waterfall.

Speaker E:

Yeah.

Speaker E:

And the thing about it is, like I was telling that if you realize that if you really want to.

Speaker E:

If you really want to get down to.

Speaker E:

It's those first editions.

Speaker E:

Like, I wanted the first edition of the County Monte Cristo.

Speaker E:

I wanted the first edition of the Shaw of Shawshank Redemption.

Speaker E:

I won the first editions of the Hobbit.

Speaker E:

Like the whole.

Speaker E:

The whole unabridged Hobbit.

Speaker E:

So it included everything.

Speaker E:

Also freaking hard to find if you could find it.

Speaker E:

It's freaking expensive.

Speaker E:

But again, just great storytelling.

Speaker A:

And here's my second in command.

Speaker E:

You really can't put a price on that.

Speaker E:

Really.

Speaker E:

Bama.

Speaker D:

Hi, baby.

Speaker D:

Hi.

Speaker D:

You go ahead and rest.

Speaker A:

I went when we first moved to Cleveland like 15 years ago.

Speaker A:

15, 20 years ago.

Speaker A:

Went to the Cleveland White downtown library.

Speaker A:

And.

Speaker A:

And first off, it's a beautiful library.

Speaker A:

Walking in there, you ever see those movies like.

Speaker A:

Or those TV shows or movies like the Librarians or anything like that?

Speaker E:

Like.

Speaker A:

Or Supernatural.

Speaker A:

You're just like, oh, this is how Sam felt when he walked.

Speaker A:

And he was the Men of Letters during Supernatural.

Speaker A:

Oh, that's what that means.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker D:

Smell.

Speaker A:

The smell of old books.

Speaker A:

Books.

Speaker A:

And just sitting down, I'm like, oh, let me sit down and read this.

Speaker A:

We got somewhere to go.

Speaker E:

Do we all.

Speaker E:

Speaker E:

Smell like pledge and white diamonds.

Speaker C:

Speaker E:

You mean the cartoon.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

I hope.

Speaker D:

Please.

Speaker D:

I hope he means the cartoon.

Speaker A:

However I look, I have watched all the movies.

Speaker A:

Fun fact.

Speaker A:

Michael Jai White is in, like, two of them.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

He plays a henchman, so it was.

Speaker A:

It was always a little.

Speaker E:

The movies.

Speaker E:

Oh, well, not the most recent movie like the ones in the late.

Speaker E:

The ones in the late 80s, early 90s we could forgive because that was like Porkies and everything else that that came.

Speaker D:

No, Porky was a classic.

Speaker D:

You go to the movies and you.

Speaker D:

I could not stop laughing because it was just all kinds of stupid.

Speaker E:

Yeah, he's so true.

Speaker A:

Time.

Speaker D:

It was the time.

Speaker D:

Yeah.

Speaker C:

Still haven't seen it.

Speaker D:

Oh, trust me.

Speaker D:

There, there, man.

Speaker D:

That.

Speaker D:

That whole scenes out of the whole movie that will always be memorable.

Speaker E:

The bathroom scene.

Speaker D:

The bathroom scene.

Speaker D:

And the laundry room scene.

Speaker A:

Okay, I. I kind of figured you.

Speaker E:

Were gonna guess bathroom and laundry room.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker E:

If you ever get a chance with it, you'll understand why we said why we said that.

Speaker A:

Just freaking trauma.

Speaker C:

Gratuitous boobies everywhere.

Speaker C:

That's all I remember from those.

Speaker A:

Yeah, Trauma.

Speaker A:

Trauma films was notorious for that one.

Speaker A:

But that.

Speaker C:

Those were the Toxic Avenger films, right?

Speaker A:

Toxic Avengers.

Speaker A:

Sergeant Kabuki.

Speaker A:

Class of Nukem High.

Speaker A:

Class of Nukem.

Speaker D:

Yo.

Speaker A:

God.

Speaker D:

Wait.

Speaker D:

Talk about jump from the pack, man.

Speaker E:

Oh.

Speaker A:

All I. I find the clearest memory of class.

Speaker A:

Newcomb High is backstory.

Speaker A:

Newcomb High was literally a high school that was built near a nuclear reactor, and anything was prone to show up.

Speaker A:

Toxic Avenger would show up.

Speaker A:

Sergeant Kabuki would show up.

Speaker A:

It was almost like everything takes place in this town.

Speaker A:

There was a scene where there was a giant squirrel.

Speaker A:

And I remember one of the.

Speaker A:

One of the kids was saying, those are the biggest pair of nuts.

Speaker A:

And I was like, wait.

Speaker E:

It was a squirrel eating.

Speaker E:

Eating a bear.

Speaker C:

Nuts.

Speaker A:

No.

Speaker A:

Oh, man.

Speaker E:

So things that.

Speaker E:

Things that you could not make in this day and age.

Speaker E:

But, oh, man, during the 80s and 90s, what a time Lord age.

Speaker D:

Like Fine cottage cheese.

Speaker D:

A lot easier.

Speaker A:

It was made with.

Speaker A:

It was made with aged, fine cottage cheese.

Speaker E:

I was gonna say this.

Speaker E:

This is why I'm hoping.

Speaker E:

I'm like Spaceballs, too.

Speaker E:

Please don't let that get derailed.

Speaker A:

Please don't let.

Speaker D:

There's just certain movies, you know, like, seriously, right now, if someone were to tell me Raiders of the Lost Ark was on, you got me.

Speaker E:

Oh, yeah.

Speaker E:

Punching knots.

Speaker A:

I've done that.

Speaker C:

Blazing.

Speaker E:

Oh, yeah.

Speaker E:

Some.

Speaker E:

Some people.

Speaker E:

Some people who haven't seen.

Speaker E:

Who's ever seen blazing Styles the first time, I always laugh because I'm like, okay, so before we.

Speaker E:

Before we watch this, number one, you gotta remember this is the 80s and it's Mel Brooks.

Speaker E:

So if you haven't seen History of.

Speaker D:

The World.

Speaker E:

Part one or History Part one, or Part two, and again, it's Mel Brooks.

Speaker E:

There's a lot of stuff that got away.

Speaker E:

You got away with back then.

Speaker A:

You won't be able to put, like this.

Speaker A:

The.

Speaker A:

The level of comedy Mel Brooks does is the same level of comedy that Seth McFarlane models his family Guy and American dad.

Speaker A:

Yeah, American Dad.

Speaker A:

It's the same level of comedy.

Speaker A:

Everybody taking shots.

Speaker A:

Nobody's safe.

Speaker D:

See, you're better than me, Spartan, because I'm gonna tell you what I wouldn't warn him for.

Speaker D:

If you think you know everything, go ahead and watch this movie.

Speaker D:

I'll wait.

Speaker E:

Hey, boys, I got one.

Speaker E:

I was gonna say, I thought Malik was gonna go.

Speaker E:

Camptown Ladies.

Speaker A:

What did I say about washing your hands after a chrome burning?

Speaker A:

See, it's coming off.

Speaker E:

I was gonna stare and laugh like I thought he was gonna say, kev, you know that song, the Camtown Ladies.

Speaker E:

The K Town Ladies.

Speaker E:

I don't think you know that.

Speaker D:

To.

Speaker C:

This day, my sister now will stop shenanigans with what in the wild, wild world of sports is going on around here?

Speaker A:

I thought.

Speaker A:

I thought you was gonna say, oh, somebody go back and give me a shitload of dimes.

Speaker A:

Me and my brother say they can just go around the gate.

Speaker E:

Ain't nothing there.

Speaker E:

Gene Wilder.

Speaker E:

Gene Wilder.

Speaker E:

And I forgot that.

Speaker A:

Thank you.

Speaker E:

Between those two.

Speaker A:

Just that part.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Were you chewing gum?

Speaker A:

Did you bring enough for everyone?

Speaker A:

No.

Speaker E:

Jesus.

Speaker A:

That movie is ridiculously.

Speaker A:

That's slapstick comedy.

Speaker A:

It's just.

Speaker E:

But History of the World was also good, too.

Speaker A:

I. I had to remind people.

Speaker D:

Look.

Speaker E:

History of the World Part one and Part two.

Speaker E:

It's just meant to be funny.

Speaker E:

Don't take it seriously.

Speaker E:

Although there was a little.

Speaker E:

There's a little bit of truth in it.

Speaker E:

But don't take it seriously.

Speaker D:

If you can do a revisit of all to just to sit down and have just a time, just to revisit all the movies that influenced us, that entertained us and had some of the most classic lines, we'd be here forever because there was a lot of them.

Speaker E:

Yeah.

Speaker D:

Oh, my God.

Speaker E:

That's why.

Speaker A:

That's why everybody in the chat went crazy and I'm like, yep, that line, that line, that line.

Speaker A:

Oh, it's true, it's true.

Speaker A:

All that's in there.

Speaker E:

Is it true?

Speaker E:

Is it true?

Speaker E:

Is it really true?

Speaker A:

Candy grand for Mongo, it was like, look, so real quick, before we get to our main topic, this, this isn't part of the, of the.

Speaker A:

Of the rundown.

Speaker A:

However, I had a chance to watch I Like Me the John Candy documentary.

Speaker E:

Oh, I wanted to see that.

Speaker E:

How was it?

Speaker A:

It's good.

Speaker A:

It's really good.

Speaker A:

If you are a fan of John Candy films, which most of us, you know, Gen Xers are, you know, planes, trains and automobiles.

Speaker E:

Right.

Speaker E:

Uncle Bug.

Speaker A:

Classic, classic, cool runnings.

Speaker E:

I mean, we can keep going on list Stripes.

Speaker D:

Come on, man.

Speaker A:

Who's Harry Crumb?

Speaker A:

It's just like.

Speaker D:

Planes, Trains and automobiles.

Speaker A:

It talked about his career, how he got started.

Speaker A:

This man has always been like a force.

Speaker A:

His, his personal life as far as his family was very tragic due to losing his father at a very early age on his birthday of no doubt, which was Halloween.

Speaker A:

So losing his father at a very early age, losing his brother, all of heart problems.

Speaker E:

And.

Speaker A:

But just talking about how, outside of that, talking about his life, how we got started with Second City and SCTV and just the influence that this man had, which was larger than life.

Speaker A:

And then talking about everything he did, I said, this is.

Speaker A:

It's, it's.

Speaker A:

It's sad, but in a very sweet way, if that makes sense, you know, because you're just like.

Speaker A:

He's, he's like how he.

Speaker A:

John Candy, Robin Williams, you know, these are people that you see that when you see them on screen, you're just like, oh, this is going to be good.

Speaker A:

No matter what the film or the show was, you're just like, yeah, you're.

Speaker A:

You're in for some form of entertainment.

Speaker A:

So.

Speaker A:

Yeah, yeah, mouse it.

Speaker A:

Yep.

Speaker A:

Yeah, he said it was.

Speaker A:

Yeah, it was, it was.

Speaker A:

It was awesome.

Speaker A:

It was really good.

Speaker A:

It was really good.

Speaker A:

And I said, oh, okay, me, check this out.

Speaker A:

You know.

Speaker E:

As I was gonna say, it's just Uncle Buck, just the.

Speaker E:

The infamous M Culin scene where it's just 20 questions.

Speaker E:

And he fired off on everyone.

Speaker A:

Yeah, yeah, he's.

Speaker A:

He talks about that and he says, you know, they talk about it.

Speaker A:

He said he wasn't.

Speaker A:

He wasn't sure that an 8 year old kid would be ready to bow, bow, bow, bow, bow.

Speaker A:

And he was firing them off and nailing it, you know, and even Macaulay Culkin talked about it.

Speaker A:

He said.

Speaker A:

Because if you know about Macaulay Culkin and his family, you know, John Candy had this level of protection.

Speaker A:

He wanted to protect his kids.

Speaker A:

So he was like, hey, what's going on with this kid over there?

Speaker A:

Everything okay?

Speaker A:

You know, he's checking on him and everything else.

Speaker A:

And he said.

Speaker A:

Nicoley Culkin said, like, even at that time, he said that put him at an ease where you didn't get that a lot as a kid in Hollywood.

Speaker A:

No doubt.

Speaker A:

So it was.

Speaker A:

It was definitely a good film.

Speaker A:

Check that out.

Speaker A:

There's been a lot of talk over the past couple of years with the MCU ever since the introduction of Phil Coulson.

Speaker A:

We got agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Speaker A:

great show.

Speaker A:

Had a lull moment between season.

Speaker D:

The outer space was the.

Speaker D:

Was.

Speaker D:

Nah.

Speaker A:

Yeah, that was the weird.

Speaker A:

That was the weird season.

Speaker A:

But they swung it back.

Speaker A:

They brought it back around, and they picked up the experience and got back with it.

Speaker A:

Hey, Shell quote.

Speaker A:

She circles in the building.

Speaker D:

We miss you, baby.

Speaker A:

But there's there.

Speaker A:

I'm gonna get.

Speaker A:

I'm gonna get everybody's take on this.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

Should agents of SHIELD 1, be considered MCU canon and two, should they write them back in both?

Speaker A:

Yes.

Speaker D:

Yes, on both parts.

Speaker A:

Thank you.

Speaker A:

Thank you.

Speaker A:

The eyes have it.

Speaker A:

Unlike our Congress, we all agree here.

Speaker E:

No serious, though, because I will tell you what I'm gonna.

Speaker E:

And I. I said this to friends, and I'll say this right here.

Speaker E:

The moment you ridden agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Speaker E:

or the Moment you ignore them being a part of the MCU as a whole.

Speaker E:

I think you lost the central point of all the MCU you did because you sat there, you had a television series that was ongoing.

Speaker E:

You had the MCU in its genesis, and you had them linked like agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Speaker E:

we saw.

Speaker E:

We did see a couple of guest characters on there, but same time they operated in the same area as Phase one did.

Speaker E:

The moment you took Agents of SHIELD out of it, you kind of lost that connection.

Speaker E:

You know, it's all connected.

Speaker E:

That was a big.

Speaker E:

That was the big.

Speaker A:

That was the thing that was all connected.

Speaker E:

So my thing is.

Speaker E:

Is like, you can still bring it back.

Speaker E:

I think that we can forget the last two seasons of Agents of SHIELD and say they never happened, but you can bring it back and you can re establish it.

Speaker E:

And again, the MCU having a central nexus point, which would be the show.

Speaker D:

But the crazy thing with the show is it was the.

Speaker D:

I think it was one of the few elements of canon that was not required to be on the big screen.

Speaker D:

It did everything on tv, and you had.

Speaker D:

You had a loyal viewership every week, every episode with the characters and everything.

Speaker D:

And it's the perfect vehicle to introduce new characters, because Agents of SHIELD Except.

Speaker D:

Except for Quake, everybody else was normal.

Speaker D:

They were regular people, so why not introduce it?

Speaker D:

And they were doing extraordinary things, especially with Phil Coulson.

Speaker A:

Yep.

Speaker D:

Come on.

Speaker D:

You're doing this from a human perspective because you can't sit here and say, well, all superheroes have super.

Speaker D:

No, this was a collective of people who were talented, they were passionate, and they knew their job.

Speaker D:

They didn't have superpowers, except for one.

Speaker D:

And even then, she had issues from time to time, but they still.

Speaker D:

They still made it work.

Speaker D:

And I think it'd be perfect for now to introduce new characters new to the generation.

Speaker D:

Now.

Speaker A:

I say you bring back.

Speaker A:

I say you write them in, and then I'm gonna get Whoopi's take.

Speaker A:

I say you bring them back in, bring Coulson back, bring Quake, Mac Fitzsimmons.

Speaker D:

Oh, I love them.

Speaker A:

Bring, Bring.

Speaker A:

Bring them back, write them back in, say, hey, you know, we've been underground for a while or something to some degree.

Speaker A:

Under who's.

Speaker A:

Under whose charge?

Speaker A:

Furies.

Speaker E:

Where's he at?

Speaker A:

He's not dead.

Speaker C:

No.

Speaker E:

You can always give us.

Speaker E:

Always say it's some directives.

Speaker E:

Directive a, something, make it related to Doomsday and say under this protocol, we would.

Speaker E:

That we went dark.

Speaker A:

Yeah, you.

Speaker E:

You saw the problem.

Speaker E:

It can be done.

Speaker A:

Whoopi, what do you think?

Speaker C:

Listen, I just want to see more of Coulson.

Speaker C:

Listen, he was with us from the very beginning.

Speaker C:

He was one of the first people that was in those end credit scenes that people were sitting around for.

Speaker C:

He found Thor's hammer.

Speaker A:

He was the linchpin.

Speaker A:

Yeah, he, you know, only thing happened on the way to New Mexico.

Speaker A:

I, I still.

Speaker A:

He dispatched armed robbers with a pack of powdered donuts.

Speaker C:

I'm just saying, I don't understand why they feel the need to not have that.

Speaker C:

Maybe that's what I'm missing as part of the conversation.

Speaker C:

Like, why is it not canon?

Speaker A:

Like, I don't know if.

Speaker A:

I don't know if it's a thing with the.

Speaker A:

The Is obviously a thing with the writing.

Speaker A:

I don't think they.

Speaker A:

It's not hard to figure this out.

Speaker A:

You have a whole Agent May.

Speaker A:

You have Ming Yahweh that you could literally just like.

Speaker E:

You're.

Speaker A:

You're expecting to see Coulson, but it's.

Speaker A:

Agent May like.

Speaker E:

But the beauty part about it is the Multiverse story, the Multiverse sagas, where they're telling right now, is literally the perfect vehicle.

Speaker A:

It is agreed.

Speaker A:

It is.

Speaker E:

And they can.

Speaker E:

They can literally sit there and say, well, because we have this many possibilities that.

Speaker E:

Okay, we were told.

Speaker A:

We were.

Speaker E:

We were instructed to check out these possibilities.

Speaker E:

You could bring ev.

Speaker E:

Realistically, you could bring everybody back.

Speaker A:

You can.

Speaker E:

And sit there, and it would make.

Speaker E:

It would make sense in the current mcu.

Speaker E:

It really would.

Speaker E:

Anybody want their love?

Speaker A:

I got Lola sitting right back there.

Speaker A:

Right when I say, if you look where my thumb is, that's where I play.

Speaker D:

Hero clicks.

Speaker D:

So, you know, I was getting them all.

Speaker D:

And this is actually one of the hero clicks pieces.

Speaker D:

So this.

Speaker E:

Oh, I. I still gotta build.

Speaker E:

I gotta build a show tall enough for Obi not to reach.

Speaker E:

So I might have to get back to you on that.

Speaker E:

That boy got.

Speaker E:

That boy gotta reach right now.

Speaker A:

Just.

Speaker A:

Oh, yeah.

Speaker A:

I think they should write them back in.

Speaker A:

I. I would be adamant, but, like, yo, this was kind of like the heart of everything.

Speaker A:

Yeah, this.

Speaker A:

This from.

Speaker A:

From Agent Carter to.

Speaker A:

To agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Speaker A:

this was what was missing.

Speaker A:

You know, I don't know if it just flew over a lot of people's heads, but that.

Speaker A:

That.

Speaker A:

That was a time.

Speaker D:

It was.

Speaker E:

But it was.

Speaker E:

But the beauty part about it was like, again, not like a broken record.

Speaker E:

You literally could see the actual.

Speaker E:

You actually see the actual timeline through the show.

Speaker E:

Like we saw when they mentioned they.

Speaker E:

You saw it happen when they mentioned the Dark World, the after Effects of Thor.

Speaker E:

The Dark World, The After Effects.

Speaker A:

What happened with the Avengers.

Speaker E:

The After Effects, like every other story.

Speaker E:

Now imagine putting that now.

Speaker A:

They were literally the linchpin that led into Avengers Age Ultron.

Speaker E:

And imagine it now being for all.

Speaker E:

And again connects to Dare to Daredevil born again.

Speaker E:

You could actually see.

Speaker E:

You could actually see them talking with Matt.

Speaker E:

You can actually see them talking with Shangchi.

Speaker E:

You can actually see them talking.

Speaker A:

With.

Speaker E:

With Photon or Captain Marvel or.

Speaker E:

The point I'm getting at is you literally have right there the connection that was missing in the previous phase.

Speaker E:

You actually have that now.

Speaker E:

And yet again, Marvel always talks about saving money.

Speaker E:

It wasn't that much to produce the show.

Speaker A:

The fact that Sam Jackson said I will do it free to show up, and showed up on the show twice.

Speaker E:

Like I put this way, I'm sure.

Speaker A:

They paid him, but he was willing to do it for free.

Speaker E:

But I'm saying though, If CBS spent $1 million in episodes episode when they tried to do Supergirl and they had it for what, 15 episodes for nine, 50 episodes, eight episodes for one seasonal.

Speaker E:

CBS, a million dollars per episode.

Speaker E:

CW took that and took the next two, two, three seasons now made it work.

Speaker E:

It made it work.

Speaker E:

So you're sitting there telling me that a.

Speaker E:

That a network like CW that covers nothing but teen dramas and Vampire Diaries 24.

Speaker E:

Seven, you being right, you being a multi, multi billion dollar conglomerate now that might be eyeing to buy Warner Brothers, you're still telling me that you don't got the.

Speaker E:

You don't have the purse to reopen agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Speaker A:

I. I would gladly say don't give me no half ass introduction or reintroduction.

Speaker A:

Do it right.

Speaker A:

They don't have to be the focal point, but they can be a linchpin in.

Speaker A:

In something because it's necessary.

Speaker A:

You can do it.

Speaker A:

You have.

Speaker A:

You have Avengers Doomsday coming up.

Speaker A:

If you're already dealing with the multiverse.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

If you're trying to do a slight reboot or a merging of worlds to some degree, here you are.

Speaker A:

It's here.

Speaker A:

Now it's just about.

Speaker A:

What's your schedule look like?

Speaker A:

Because.

Speaker A:

Because to say we're bringing the team back may not be everybody all at once, but we're bringing the team back.

Speaker E:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Bring the team back.

Speaker E:

And again, Mac with the ax shotgun.

Speaker A:

I always want.

Speaker E:

That's like with the ax slash itching.

Speaker A:

He was itching for so freaking long.

Speaker A:

And when he finally got it, like.

Speaker E:

All that, all that man wanted was a.

Speaker E:

Was a tool that could be used.

Speaker E:

That could be used with multiple multiplications.

Speaker E:

And Fitz finally said.

Speaker E:

Bet you had a.

Speaker A:

You had a decent intro to Deathlock.

Speaker E:

Yeah.

Speaker D:

Yes.

Speaker D:

I thought that was brilliant.

Speaker D:

It was.

Speaker D:

I said, they're gonna bring Deathlock.

Speaker D:

They gonna bring Death, please.

Speaker A:

And the way they did it, I'm just like, okay, oh, I'm not mad at this.

Speaker E:

But you know what's also crazy?

Speaker E:

The fact that this could also be another way of re resurrecting in humans and doing it properly.

Speaker A:

True.

Speaker D:

Yeah.

Speaker D:

Yeah.

Speaker E:

Now here.

Speaker A:

What?

Speaker E:

Now hear me out.

Speaker E:

I didn't say the current format.

Speaker E:

I said doing it differently.

Speaker E:

Because again, we're in the multiverse.

Speaker E:

Change it up and do it properly.

Speaker D:

Bring back the.

Speaker D:

Bring the original Inhumans, Black Bolt, Medusa, Gorgon, Karnak Crystal.

Speaker D:

The whole.

Speaker A:

The levels of that show having the potential that it need.

Speaker A:

You literally had the talent.

Speaker E:

Yeah, but you Hollywoodized it.

Speaker E:

You took the quote unquote popular Inhumans, and then you.

Speaker E:

Well, for lack of better words, you bastardize it.

Speaker A:

You dulled it down.

Speaker D:

You modernized it.

Speaker A:

Hold it down.

Speaker E:

But again, but like I said, this is why I say right now, if Marvel wanted to switch gears and not do this whole.

Speaker E:

We had to pump out things completely fast.

Speaker E:

The TV aspect is right there.

Speaker E:

You have no.

Speaker E:

You have no other projects for the rest of the year.

Speaker E:

All the.

Speaker E:

All the things that was done for Marvel, for.

Speaker E:

For this year is already done.

Speaker E:

What you can.

Speaker A:

They're so worried.

Speaker A:

They're so worried about streaming.

Speaker A:

I said, here's a thought.

Speaker E:

You want to do it?

Speaker A:

Go ahead, put it on Streaming.

Speaker A:

Give us 10.

Speaker A:

10 episodes.

Speaker E:

You're already doing that with Wonder Man.

Speaker A:

Yeah, so just give us 10 slot.

Speaker A:

Give us 10 solid episodes or even a special.

Speaker E:

You did Werewolf, but you did Werewolf by Night.

Speaker E:

And we're still looking at you like, oh, you could do way more.

Speaker E:

You did that as a test for a Halloween special.

Speaker E:

I'm like, hey.

Speaker A:

And it was good.

Speaker E:

Yeah, it was perfect.

Speaker E:

And was.

Speaker E:

And after that, crickets.

Speaker E:

So you did.

Speaker A:

We're gonna sit on this.

Speaker A:

Why?

Speaker A:

You gave us Werewolf by Night and.

Speaker E:

Man thing and else and Elsa Bloodstone and did nothing.

Speaker A:

You could.

Speaker E:

You could have done the whole.

Speaker E:

The whole horror aspect, being that it's October, which, by God, how are we almost to Halloween at this freaking day?

Speaker E:

But anyway, you could have took the entire month of October, and if anybody was in programming or marketing, you could have done this whole thing of Marvel horror.

Speaker E:

You could have gave us.

Speaker E:

You didn't have to give us episodes.

Speaker E:

You could have gave us specials.

Speaker D:

I think if they were to do that.

Speaker D:

Here.

Speaker D:

Here's my issue, and I've always asked this question.

Speaker D:

When you create these cinematic masterpieces, who are you targeting?

Speaker D:

Who exactly is your target audience?

Speaker D:

Because those of us, this collective right here, if you do it right and you take elements from the past stories and bring them to the forefront, we will come to the theaters to watch them multiple times.

Speaker D:

But if you try to make them relevant till now, where the attention span of an average 23 year old is about 10 seconds or less, unless there's a bullet to the head, there's some sort of gore, or somebody's talking trash about social media, you're missing.

Speaker D:

You're missing the Gold mine.

Speaker D:

Literally.

Speaker C:

I hate to say this, but the people who like the comments are going to show up anyway.

Speaker D:

They are.

Speaker E:

Yeah.

Speaker C:

So what they're trying to do, we'll bring them some money, but if they can get the others in the seats as well, it's going to make them even more money.

Speaker C:

With some money.

Speaker D:

Right.

Speaker C:

People are always looking for more money.

Speaker C:

So they're going to make a product that they think is going to bring in the lowest common.

Speaker E:

Well, not the lowest.

Speaker C:

To bring in the people that are slightly interested in what's going on because.

Speaker A:

No, no.

Speaker A:

I was going to say, I think if they really were about their business, whether it's Inhumans, whether it's a world of horror, whether it's the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Speaker A:

they would really sit down and one bring in people that are really interested in writing it, directing it.

Speaker A:

Don't just grab somebody because it's the hot thing or it's there.

Speaker A:

It's their testing waters.

Speaker A:

No, bring them in.

Speaker A:

Bring that person in or people in.

Speaker A:

Bring those people in and say even.

Speaker A:

Even if they don't have the.

Speaker A:

The knowledge of something.

Speaker A:

I heard how to look like, bring Laney in here.

Speaker D:

And she gives us that mom look, you know, mom look on her face.

Speaker E:

That was dropped by.

Speaker E:

That was drive by parenting.

Speaker A:

That was.

Speaker E:

That was.

Speaker E:

That was the.

Speaker E:

You had a project.

Speaker E:

You just now told me that we gotta get this stuff and you got a project through tomorrow.

Speaker E:

That was that look.

Speaker F:

First of all, hey, everyone, what happened?

Speaker F:

And I'm telling her that.

Speaker F:

Listen, it's 9 o'.

Speaker D:

Clock.

Speaker F:

You're supposed to be in bed already.

Speaker F:

Go take a shower.

Speaker F:

I want to say hi.

Speaker F:

I want to say six, seven.

Speaker F:

No, we're not gonna say that.

Speaker D:

So then.

Speaker F:

Of course, as soon as she hears you guys look at mine, she goes, six, seven.

Speaker F:

Like, it's not about you.

Speaker E:

I will never to this day understand that.

Speaker D:

Oh, my goodness.

Speaker A:

But I think they just literally said.

Speaker A:

And your.

Speaker A:

The stipulations of you having directing and writing job.

Speaker A:

You need to read about some of this.

Speaker A:

Yeah, you need to read this.

Speaker A:

Not.

Speaker A:

Not everybody is going to be lucky enough to be Ahmad Vellani and already be a fan of Ms. Marvel, but.

Speaker E:

Take, you know, take the James Gunn approach.

Speaker E:

James Gunn sat there and basically told everybody who.

Speaker E:

Everybody who's under him.

Speaker E:

And again, not to cut you off, Chris, but to.

Speaker D:

For.

Speaker E:

If you notice that everybody that's ever acted or.

Speaker E:

Or was casted by Gun, any of his roles, they know a lot more about the character they're playing.

Speaker E:

Mo almost with the Average reader.

Speaker E:

Like, again, Nolan knew more about Guy Gardner than most folks did.

Speaker E:

He's like.

Speaker E:

He knew off the bat.

Speaker E:

He said, guy Gardner is the guy that, you know, you'll call him when you want something done, but at the same time, you call him when it's like last resort.

Speaker E:

When you last resort, you know, you gotta get stuff done.

Speaker A:

You know, you're calling him literally in case of emergency.

Speaker E:

Yeah, yeah, but.

Speaker E:

But that's what I'm getting at, though.

Speaker E:

I mean, Batista knew more about Dave.

Speaker E:

Batista knew more about Drax than most people did.

Speaker E:

And you know, even that even Chris Pratt, who, you know, needs to go hide somewhere, he knew a little bit about Star Lord.

Speaker E:

So again, like you're saying, and did.

Speaker A:

A great job playing Starlord.

Speaker A:

I just.

Speaker A:

Just saying.

Speaker A:

Let's see.

Speaker D:

They did the research, though.

Speaker D:

They were smart about it.

Speaker E:

Yeah, but that's the thing.

Speaker E:

He told.

Speaker E:

He pretty much gave them.

Speaker E:

He gave them homework.

Speaker E:

I said, learn the character.

Speaker E:

And you can tell because, well, Peacemaker, how successful that was.

Speaker E:

His Suicide Squad, his Superman movie, you obviously can see that a lot of care was taken into place.

Speaker E:

That same care could be put toward Marvel if.

Speaker E:

Whoever.

Speaker E:

Whoever it may be.

Speaker E:

Because, you know, everybody keeps like, well, we want Ryan Coogler.

Speaker E:

I said, let.

Speaker E:

Let the man.

Speaker E:

Let the man enjoy his center's run right now.

Speaker D:

No kidding.

Speaker E:

Let that man.

Speaker E:

Let that man enjoy his victory lap before you sit him somewhere else.

Speaker D:

Oh, before we go on, I kind of feel like Santa Claus tonight.

Speaker D:

So, Laney, I have blessed everyone here with something incredible tonight, and I wanted to bless you with something because as I was going through these comics and backing and boarding them, I know it's spooky season, and I know that you are a spooky person.

Now here's the thing.

Speaker A:

What constitutes as a final girl?

Speaker A:

Well, it's the one who's gone through hell and high water through the horror film slasher flick and pulled out on the end.

Speaker A:

Maybe a little worse for wear on some cases.

Speaker A:

Other cases, they still on top.

Speaker A:

This also goes for the black final girls and we have quite a few already that some may not know about.

That was plot armor.

Speaker F:

Be honest though, that was.

Speaker C:

But.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Although.

Speaker A:

Although.

Speaker A:

Although.

Speaker D:

Yo, I ain't gonna lie.

Speaker D:

Escape Room.

Speaker D:

When I saw the first time, I said, y' all signed up for this.

Speaker D:

This is why I don't go into people's houses.

Speaker D:

That's why I don't go in other people's buildings.

Speaker D:

What the hell?

Speaker D:

A card that has.

Speaker D:

No, it's an invitation.

Speaker D:

Invitation to keep my ass at home.

Speaker D:

That's the invite right there.

Speaker A:

Look, let me.

Speaker A:

Let me tell you a little story.

Speaker A:

Now, mind you, you know, we had just went to West Virginia, my wife's hometown, for her cousin's funeral.

Speaker A:

And so I. I'm in my truck and I'm unloading stuff.

Speaker A:

And, you know, we had went to the store because she can pick up some clothes and stuff.

Speaker A:

And, you know, so at one point, I'm unloading the truck, I think, at her other cousin's house.

Speaker D:

And.

Speaker A:

And I said, what the hell is this heavy thing in the back of my truck?

Speaker A:

And.

Speaker D:

And.

Speaker A:

And my little girl says, oh, Nana did that.

Speaker A:

I said, did what?

Speaker E:

What is it?

Speaker A:

I don't know.

Speaker A:

And I'm like, okay.

Speaker A:

No one said anything.

Speaker A:

And so I go in the house.

Speaker A:

My mother in law says, yeah.

Speaker A:

She was like, her brother Charles.

Speaker A:

Dag.

Speaker A:

This is ashes.

Speaker A:

It was her brother's ashes, my mother in law's brother's ashes.

Speaker A:

And I said, you know what?

Speaker A:

You can't take my city behind.

Speaker A:

Nowhere outside the city.

Speaker A:

Let me tell you what.

Speaker A:

I've seen enough horror films and supernatural to understand that this was not here before.

Speaker A:

And no one said anything about it.

Speaker A:

And all of a sudden, now you're Telling me someone's ashes just magically appeared in my trunk.

Speaker A:

Yep.

Speaker E:

See where I'm going?

Speaker A:

Look, look, it was all I said.

Speaker A:

I'm like, did y' all's black radar not.

Speaker A:

Hello.

Speaker E:

That's how you know.

Speaker E:

This is how you know if you were ever in a horror movie situation, need to understand the people you're around, and if they have no black radar whatsoever, you might have to make a decision.

Speaker A:

Like I said, do you understand how quick I started adding things up?

Speaker A:

I'm like, no, wait, hold on.

Speaker A:

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Speaker A:

Speaker A:

I was like, you just can't just pop that stuff up.

Speaker A:

And I'm unloading the car and ashes just all of a sudden appeared.

Yeah, me too.

Speaker F:

You're digging deep because no one watched.

Speaker E:

You know what I did.

Speaker D:

The fact that you got to Critter four, That's dedication.

Speaker E:

Because that.

Speaker E:

That was on.

Speaker E:

USA is up all night.

Speaker E:

That's the reason.

Speaker A:

USA and Sapphire Channel.

Speaker E:

That was on up all night.

Speaker E:

That was one of their movies.

Speaker E:

Me and my assistant, me and my sister, when it was just us two, were watching it, and I remember that.

Speaker A:

It'S so deep that Angela does not speak about it.

Speaker A:

And I said, no, no, dear, it's okay.

Speaker A:

It's okay.

Speaker E:

You're that one guy that traveled back in time to actually say he was weaponized against the critters.

Speaker E:

That's the crazy part.

Speaker E:

Wait, you came from the future?

Speaker E:

Y' all still didn't figure this out?

Speaker A:

But, yeah, there's definitely a lot of black.

Speaker A:

Let me see.

Speaker A:

Did I go through everybody I know?

Speaker A:

Speaker A:

Okay, cool.

Speaker A:

But there's definitely a long list of black women who survived horror.

Speaker A:

And Lainey mentioned I had Brandy.

Speaker A:

I thought I had Brandy's own pictures on there, but, yes, Brandy from I know what you did last summer, if you want to count Vampire in Brooklyn.

Speaker A:

It's a horror comedy.

Speaker A:

It's still a horror.

Speaker A:

Yes, she survived two times over.

Speaker A:

And I. I.

Speaker A:

For some reason, I didn't watch American Horror Story Hotel.

Speaker A:

I didn't.

Speaker A:

It seemed like it was a slow burn.

Speaker A:

And then when they.

Speaker A:

They said she was on there, I'm like, well, I get around to it.

Speaker E:

I never caught that.

Speaker E:

Yeah, I assumed.

Speaker E:

I assumed she was legendary.

Speaker E:

I just like, nah, There's.

Speaker E:

There's certain shows I can't rock with.

Speaker E:

That's one of them.

Speaker E:

It's a little too intense.

Speaker C:

Asylum.

Speaker E:

No, lady, it's a little too intense.

Speaker E:

And just like me playing certain video games at night.

Speaker E:

Call me a punk if you want to.

Speaker E:

I will go.

Speaker A:

I will go across that room and.

Speaker E:

Turn that light right on.

Speaker F:

Like, nope, I get you that.

Speaker F:

I think the first.

Speaker F:

The very first season can be very scary, actually.

Speaker F:

And then the sixth season, when it's in Rono, that also was terrible.

Speaker A:

Fine.

Speaker F:

I. I actually stopped after the seventh season.

Speaker F:

I heard it got better because the seventh season was such a small.

Speaker F:

To get through.

Speaker F:

I just stopped.

Speaker F:

But I heard it got better.

Speaker F:

There's other ones that are okay.

Speaker F:

They're like.

Speaker F:

Like, circus can be a little bit freaky, too.

Speaker C:

Circus.

Speaker E:

Circus was.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Circus was wild.

Speaker A:

Circus was wild.

Speaker E:

I'm just saying, you make an American called Rowan Oak, everybody's like, so why are we showing this about disappearances?

Speaker F:

And they have black folks in Rono, too.

Speaker A:

They did.

Speaker A:

They did.

Speaker A:

I'm like, where are they going with this?

Speaker A:

Jesus.

Speaker A:

Because this is a story that's been running around for years about Roanoke.

Speaker D:

Yep.

Speaker E:

Unsolved mystery to the point.

Speaker A:

Like, there's parts of Virginia that I wonder.

Speaker D:

You know, I stay in Norfolk.

Speaker D:

That's it.

Speaker E:

But see, that's the whole.

Speaker E:

I. I avoid the whole Appalachian mountainside.

Speaker E:

And part of it does go through Tennessee, but that's the part I do not stay in.

Speaker A:

The minute.

Speaker A:

They say Appalachian, I'm like, there.

Speaker A:

I ain't no business being there.

Speaker A:

What do you mean?

Speaker E:

Appalachian sat there and said, you stay on your side.

Speaker E:

I stay on my side.

Speaker A:

We don't.

Speaker E:

We don't skin walkers don't be in your backyard tonight.

Speaker A:

Say what?

Speaker A:

Wolfie?

Speaker A:

What'd you say?

Speaker A:

You saw something.

Speaker E:

No.

Speaker D:

You didn't.

Speaker A:

No, no, no, no.

Speaker A:

I'm all right.

Speaker E:

You heard something whistling, Go inside.

Speaker A:

Pretty much.

Speaker D:

There's.

Speaker A:

Literally.

Speaker A:

It's like if you work at a psych ward on third shift and they give you specific instructions.

Speaker A:

Right.

Speaker E:

You may not want that job.

Speaker A:

Pretty much leave a spoon at Red String and a glass of water and knock twice and walk away.

Speaker A:

Do not look.

Speaker A:

Look back.

Speaker A:

And if you.

Speaker A:

And if you do run, I'm like.

Speaker E:

No, I don't need that job.

Speaker E:

It's not worth.

Speaker E:

It's not 95 an hour.

Speaker D:

No.

Speaker A:

Do not go to the third floor.

Speaker A:

It does not exist.

Speaker A:

It's been abandoned for years.

Speaker A:

Wait, why.

Speaker A:

Wait, why are you telling me this now?

Speaker E:

That's a room.

Speaker E:

That's a room.

Speaker E:

1408 moment.

Speaker A:

Just.

Speaker E:

No.

Speaker E:

No.

Speaker D:

Oh, wow.

Speaker F:

That was kind of scary.

Speaker F:

Even though he's 13 at that.

Speaker E:

So black.

Speaker E:

But when a black man tell you not to stay in a hotel room, you should listen.

Speaker E:

That's all I'm saying.

Speaker A:

You.

Speaker A:

You.

Speaker A:

You don't want to be there.

Speaker C:

That part.

Speaker A:

So I. I think what we have.

Speaker A:

What we're having now is the recognition of seeing the black scream queens.

Speaker E:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

You know, really get their shine and.

Speaker A:

Or better, do not work on the side.

Speaker A:

War can.

Speaker A:

Third shift.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Tell that to my wife.

Speaker E:

No, you gotta.

Speaker E:

You gotta be a special kind of person.

Speaker E:

You gotta be a.

Speaker E:

You gotta be a person that doesn't scare easily, or you can watch certain things and be fine.

Speaker E:

Yeah, I'm not.

Speaker A:

Oh, we can watch these.

Speaker A:

It's like.

Speaker A:

Yeah, you go right ahead.

Speaker A:

There's nothing like.

Speaker A:

There's nothing like watching my little girl, who at the time was trying to test her scariness at the time and watching the very first Annabelle.

Speaker F:

That one wasn't that bad.

Speaker A:

The second one, though, well, mind you, she had a monster high dial that stood about her height, and it stood in the corner of her room.

Speaker A:

So imagine.

Speaker A:

Imagine our faces when we wake up the next day and her and her brother are huddled on the couch because neither one of them went to sleep.

Speaker E:

And this is why Spartan does not do dolls or clowns.

Speaker E:

Nope.

Speaker E:

Yeah.

Speaker E:

This is why Spartan does not do clowns or dolls.

Speaker E:

I have literally told my wife, who has a doll, if that thing moves, I'm shooting it.

Speaker E:

I have sat there and told my wife she has a doll that's literally in the closet.

Speaker E:

And every night I wonder, because I. I swear that door moved.

Speaker E:

I was like, nope, not.

Speaker E:

Not today.

Speaker E:

And so here's a.

Speaker A:

Here's a.

Speaker A:

Here's a.

Speaker A:

Here's a couple honorable mentions.

Speaker A:

Dewanda Wise, who plays Jessica in the movie Imaginary that came out last year.

Speaker E:

Oh, right.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Kirsty Clemens, who plays Jen and not only thrived after the shipwreck, but left her stranded on an island in Sweetheart.

Speaker A:

That was:

Speaker A:

Who else do we have?

Speaker A:

We have.

Speaker A:

Oh, Eleni mentioned Selena, so there's.

Speaker E:

Yeah, there's a few.

Speaker E:

There's a lot.

Speaker D:

Yeah, Go ahead.

Speaker C:

Go ahead.

Speaker F:

Loretta Devane.

Speaker F:

Divine for both urban legends.

Speaker D:

Yep.

Speaker D:

I was gonna say.

Speaker D:

I. I just remember that one too.

Speaker F:

Amanda.

Speaker A:

Oh.

Speaker A:

See?

Speaker A:

Seafried.

Speaker E:

Seafre.

Speaker F:

Not Seafre.

Speaker E:

Seals.

Speaker A:

Oh, Steinberg.

Speaker A:

From a. Yeah, from.

Speaker F:

From the bodies.

Speaker A:

Okay.

Speaker A:

She did survive.

Speaker A:

Bodies.

Speaker A:

Bodies.

Speaker E:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Which was an absolute cluster of a night.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

To find out, I was like, oh.

Speaker A:

Everything that happened was a whole accident.

Speaker E:

Yep.

Speaker A:

It wasn't what we thought it was.

Speaker A:

Yeah, y'.

Speaker C:

All.

Speaker A:

What a night this is.

Speaker A:

Gum.

Speaker A:

Don't seem to be the funniest movies.

Speaker A:

Please watch Tucker and Dale versus Evil.

Speaker E:

Oh, Tucker.

Speaker E:

Dell versus Evil.

Speaker E:

That's always.

Speaker A:

It's an old one, but it's classic.

Speaker A:

It is absolutely funny.

Speaker A:

If you love Alan Tudy, this.

Speaker A:

This is a movie you need to check out.

Speaker C:

That's.

Speaker A:

That's a funny one.

Speaker A:

So, yeah, there's definitely, like, a lot of black screen queens over the years that we.

Speaker A:

We may have just passed by, but there's way more than we thought.

Speaker A:

Yeah, definitely way more than we thought.

Speaker A:

Even.

Speaker A:

Even Navy mentioned in Sugar Hill.

Speaker A:

And that was what,:

Speaker A:

75.

Speaker D:

1974.

Speaker A:

So that's.

Speaker A:

That's before me.

Speaker A:

So those.

Speaker A:

They're out there.

Speaker D:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Coven was 10 years ago.

Speaker A:

Sorry, Bama.

Speaker A:

Damn.

Speaker D:

Damn.

Speaker A:

Coven was 10 years ago.

Speaker A:

I think that was the last time that.

Speaker A:

I think that was one of the last times the American Horror Story was really good.

Speaker A:

Damn.

Speaker A:

Covenant.

Speaker A:

The only reason why Apocalypse was accepted is because they brought Angela back.

Speaker E:

That's kind of saying a lot, though.

Speaker A:

Ain'T Was like, yeah, we.

Speaker A:

We gotta wrap this thing up.

Speaker A:

It's only.

Speaker A:

I was like, oh, yeah.

Speaker A:

Y' all gotta tie it into the Coven episode series now.

Speaker A:

It was no other way.

Speaker C:

84 was okay too.

Speaker A:

But you said.

Speaker A:

Which one?

Speaker C:

1984.

Speaker C:

That's the one with the slasher camp.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

1984 is good.

Speaker A:

1984 is good.

Speaker A:

It's.

Speaker A:

It's good.

Speaker A:

It's.

Speaker A:

It's not Coven, but it's good.

Speaker E:

I forgot about Rachel.

Speaker E:

True.

Speaker E:

In the crash, she did survive Rachel.

Speaker A:

Yep.

Speaker E:

She did survive the craft because technically, old girl.

Speaker E:

Old girl figured out she was a.

Speaker A:

She was really a witch.

Speaker A:

She wouldn't.

Speaker E:

Once she figured out she had powers she stuffed way.

Speaker A:

But it is this.

Speaker A:

I like the fact that there are more black scream queens now than there has been in the past, what, several years?

Speaker A:

I think.

Speaker A:

I think.

Speaker A:

I think as you start to think about it and really watch the films, you notice it.

Speaker C:

That's because we're more likely to be like, I'm not staying here.

Speaker C:

Let's get up and go.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker C:

People either are usually killed within the first hour of a film.

Speaker D:

Yeah.

Speaker C:

Because.

Speaker C:

Don't play that.

Speaker C:

Noises coming out of the basement.

Speaker C:

Get out.

Speaker C:

I think I will.

Speaker C:

Where's my bag?

Speaker A:

Look, Maggie's.

Speaker A:

Maggie's raw digger in 13 goals literally was, like, gone.

Speaker A:

No, I'm gone.

Speaker E:

I mean, I don't like this.

Speaker A:

Take these glasses off me.

Speaker A:

I got to go.

Speaker E:

But no, you got a point.

Speaker E:

And I.

Speaker E:

And, you know, we.

Speaker E:

It's interesting now, because the running joke used to be, black people wouldn't be in a horror movie, because if it was, it'd be a commercial, because the moment you try to tell us something, it's like, no, we good.

Speaker E:

But that is.

Speaker E:

But that is an untapped.

Speaker E:

It's an untapped genre.

Speaker E:

So if you really think about it.

Speaker E:

And also.

Speaker A:

And any.

Speaker A:

I'm gonna.

Speaker E:

I'm gonna go ahead and say this.

Speaker E:

In a horror movie, it's hard to kill a black woman, if you really think about it, it's hard to kill a black woman in a horror movie if you really think about it.

Speaker E:

Yes.

Speaker A:

Halle Berry and Gothica.

Speaker A:

Oh, yeah.

Speaker D:

That's.

Speaker A:

Forgot about that, too.

Speaker A:

That's a good one.

Speaker E:

I mean, she's not gonna fall while running.

Speaker E:

She's definitely gonna make sure she's got.

Speaker E:

She's got a weapon of some sort by then, she's figured out who you are.

Speaker E:

And nine times out of ten, she's gonna.

Speaker E:

Either she's gonna go get help or she's gonna take you out.

Speaker C:

That's why Jada Pinkett got taken out within the first 15 minutes of Scream, too.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Trying to figure out too damn much.

Speaker E:

Trying to figure out being nosy.

Speaker E:

See, the moment.

Speaker E:

The moment I hear someone says, let's.

Speaker E:

Let's split up.

Speaker A:

Nope, you the first one to go.

Speaker D:

Look, that's when the whole phrase catch a fade really had meaning.

Speaker A:

If you watch.

Speaker A:

And it's on YouTube, so if you watch Night of the Demon, and that whole scene where Roger is telling them, my daddy is a preacher, this house is haunted, we ain't got no business being here.

Speaker A:

That's.

Speaker A:

That was literally his whole life.

Speaker A:

I'm like.

Speaker A:

And already you have Been granted as hero status.

Speaker E:

Thank you, sir.

Speaker D:

Sir, you let common sense be your shield.

Speaker D:

Absolutely.

Speaker A:

He laid it out.

Speaker A:

Look, my daddy's a preacher.

Speaker A:

This house ain't no good.

Speaker E:

And that's how I looked at Hellraiser.

Speaker A:

Wait a minute.

Speaker E:

So you tell me Pinhead will show up if I figure out this.

Speaker E:

If I figure out this puzzle.

Speaker E:

Maybe I shouldn't go around summoning things.

Speaker A:

I don't know about.

Speaker F:

I mean, Candyman.

Speaker E:

Candyman.

Speaker E:

Candyman minded his business.

Speaker E:

Candyman said, I got who I wanted to get.

Speaker E:

Leave me in the spirit world where I belong.

Speaker A:

No, Any of the.

Speaker A:

Many of the black people in Candyman said, hey, we don't.

Speaker A:

We don't.

Speaker E:

Oh, old girl.

Speaker E:

Just.

Speaker F:

Oh, I'm about to say the mom.

Speaker E:

Yeah, the mom survived.

Speaker A:

Yeah, she's like that.

Speaker E:

That mom.

Speaker A:

She did that.

Speaker E:

I never seen someone do that.

Speaker A:

Fingers.

Speaker E:

Don't.

Speaker E:

Don't say that.

Speaker F:

Actually, the mom and homegirl who is Tiana Paris.

Speaker A:

Yeah, Tiana Paris in the latest Candyman film.

Speaker A:

Yep.

Speaker A:

She's right.

Speaker A:

Like, babe.

Speaker A:

I mean, even you gotta think he didn't want them.

Speaker E:

But let's also be honest.

Speaker E:

Look at Freddie vs. Jason, where Kelly Rowland.

Speaker E:

I mean, look how far they had to go to get her.

Speaker E:

You had to basically sacrifice yourself for the white girl.

Speaker E:

He wasn't even interested in you.

Speaker E:

So not even looking at you, that's the part that kills me.

Speaker D:

So could we say that Candyman is a horror version of Jungle Fever?

Speaker A:

Yes.

Speaker A:

Yeah, pretty much.

Speaker A:

In that damn snow.

Speaker D:

Hey, what did that snow so bad?

Speaker A:

Literally.

Speaker D:

Literally.

Speaker A:

Literally, the words out my stepdad's mouth playing in that damn snow.

Speaker D:

Your name better not be Snowflake, or I'm leaving.

Speaker E:

That's all I gotta say.

Speaker A:

He's like, yep.

Speaker A:

Bees and all, messing with them.

Speaker E:

Boy, girl, I never felt.

Speaker E:

I never felt so much judgment in that scene when that.

Speaker E:

When that was in the movie theaters.

Speaker A:

And the bees got him.

Speaker E:

You just.

Speaker E:

You just heard the judgment from all them.

Speaker E:

Like, see, See, you can almost hear.

Speaker E:

You can almost hear some.

Speaker E:

You can almost hear some people look, point their men go.

Speaker A:

And see.

Speaker E:

See what happens when you mess with white women?

Speaker E:

When I tell.

Speaker E:

I was.

Speaker E:

Well, I'm gonna tell myself 14 years old watching a radar movie.

Speaker E:

And that's like.

Speaker E:

That's all I heard.

Speaker D:

Movie theaters.

Speaker E:

That's what happens when you mess with.

Speaker A:

Yeah, that's.

Speaker A:

That's what happens.

Speaker A:

See there?

Speaker A:

See there?

Speaker A:

That's what you all get.

Speaker E:

See there?

Speaker D:

No.

Speaker D:

Or you hear this cacophony.

Speaker E:

Yeah, that part.

Speaker D:

You know what that means?

Speaker D:

Ain't no, ain't no finger point.

Speaker D:

Don't even look at it.

Speaker A:

She wouldn't even know that to do all that now.

Speaker E:

What Good.

Speaker D:

It's the best popcorn I ever had.

Speaker E:

I was always, always loving that.

Speaker E:

So was it.

Speaker E:

So did you find it.

Speaker E:

So was it funny then?

Speaker A:

Ask.

Speaker E:

Ask Candyman.

Speaker E:

Was it funny?

Speaker E:

I don't think it's funny now.

Speaker E:

Looks like just y'.

Speaker E:

All.

Speaker E:

No, seriously.

Speaker A:

But it's.

Speaker A:

It's.

Speaker A:

It's a thing.

Speaker E:

Yeah.

Speaker E:

And avoid mirrors that don't.

Speaker E:

You know that.

Speaker E:

Avoid mirrors.

Speaker E:

And don't do dumb stuff.

Speaker E:

We learn again.

Speaker E:

It's hard to kill black people.

Speaker E:

We're not doing dumb stuff.

Speaker A:

Elementary school.

Speaker A:

Damn kids wanted to play Bloody Mary.

Speaker E:

Hell in the bathroom.

Speaker E:

Nope.

Speaker D:

Not.

Speaker C:

I don't think.

Speaker A:

No.

Speaker A:

Oh, hell, I've never expelled so much piss out of my body in such a speed.

Speaker A:

Y' all can have that.

Speaker A:

I'm taking my 11 year old self out this bathroom.

Speaker E:

Y' all could play in here if.

Speaker A:

You want to see, like a fire hose.

Speaker D:

Oh.

Speaker D:

Oh.

Speaker E:

We had the bell witch.

Speaker E:

We had the bell witch here in Nashville.

Speaker E:

It's like, oh, if you go in the woods and you stand on a stump and you turn the direction of the woods and say her and say.

Speaker E:

And say bell wish three times.

Speaker E:

Number one, why are you doing this for somebody that don't want you?

Speaker E:

And number two, why is my dumbass gonna be in the woods finding the only tree stump and doing dumb stuff?

Speaker E:

You can go out there if you want to.

Speaker D:

Or number three, why am I listening to you?

Speaker D:

Why.

Speaker A:

Why Spartans Was Bell Witch.

Speaker A:

Indoors was Bloody Mary outdoors was in the woods was Pigman.

Speaker A:

I'm like, who?

Speaker A:

It was like, yeah, pig man.

Speaker D:

I'm like, my house was none of the above.

Speaker A:

Okay, yeah.

Speaker A:

If you go over here, I think the not.

Speaker E:

But again, like I said, you tell black.

Speaker E:

You tell black people this.

Speaker E:

And we're like, nah, let's go.

Speaker E:

Let's go to this.

Speaker E:

Let's go to this campsite where nobody's been because there was a murder.

Speaker A:

Nope.

Speaker A:

Nope.

Speaker E:

I mean, that's easy.

Speaker E:

It's like, let's go this.

Speaker E:

Let's go to this haunted cemetery and go big.

Speaker E:

Go big or dead.

Speaker C:

No.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker D:

Anytime you hear someone say, I heard a story about, ah, I ain't going no.

Speaker E:

Well, because I'm sorry.

Speaker E:

Pet cemetery and Cujo.

Speaker E:

That was like, see, this is what happens when you mess with the undead.

Speaker E:

Two things you shouldn't mess with.

Speaker E:

Animals and cemeteries.

Speaker E:

I'm just saying, look, I say if.

Speaker A:

You walk through this, why Would I walk through any cemetery as a shortcut?

Speaker A:

Are you sit.

Speaker D:

What?

Speaker A:

Why, why would I.

Speaker A:

Why am I out here?

Speaker E:

Did Michael Jackson's Thriller not teach you anything?

Speaker A:

Oh, I ran out of gas.

Speaker A:

Michael Jackson.

Speaker A:

You got a letterman jacket and it's classic cars and you run out of gas.

Speaker E:

How you pass.

Speaker E:

The sad part is I was like, I know.

Speaker E:

He passed about three gas stations before he realized I was out.

Speaker E:

You had enough juice in that Jerry curl to keep yourself lubricated.

Speaker E:

But not enough gas.

Speaker E:

That curl, that S curl was shining, sir.

Speaker E:

You didn't miss the most moment of lubrication.

Speaker E:

But yet somehow unleaded.

Speaker E:

83 just passes.

Speaker E:

And then old girl kills me.

Speaker E:

Oh, I think we should go into this house.

Speaker E:

You mean this house that appeared out of freaking nowhere?

Speaker D:

First of all, your real name is a combined six letters.

Speaker D:

I'm not listening to you.

Speaker D:

Ola.

Speaker A:

Walking into a house.

Speaker A:

The house looks like it stink.

Speaker A:

Why would I go in there?

Speaker E:

And it's like, I, I, I, I change differently at night.

Speaker E:

Okay.

Speaker E:

I'm gonna get a cab.

Speaker E:

You stick with your car.

Speaker A:

No, you ain't.

Speaker E:

I heard about you Jackson's.

Speaker A:

No, y'.

Speaker A:

All.

Speaker E:

Y' all change it.

Speaker E:

Yeah.

Speaker D:

Different.

Speaker A:

I heard about Joe.

Speaker A:

I heard about what Joe did when y' all left the towels in the pool.

Speaker A:

Nah, I'm good.

Speaker E:

I'm just saying it's, it's, it's harder to take us out.

Speaker E:

So you gotta find creative ways to get us.

Speaker E:

And who else can get black people but black people?

Speaker A:

This is why I'm glad the like the movies like the blackening existed because they tapped everything.

Speaker A:

All of it.

Speaker E:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

And they didn't, they didn't hold back.

Speaker A:

And I said, oh, good.

Speaker E:

You figured it out.

Speaker A:

Thank you.

Speaker E:

You figured it out.

Speaker E:

I voted for Trump twice.

Speaker A:

You did what?

Speaker C:

You gotta go.

Speaker A:

I was in the movie theater.

Speaker A:

Like what?

Speaker D:

I think everybody said that some way.

Speaker D:

Everybody like what?

Speaker F:

And I wish that they actually didn't put that in the, in the trailer.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker F:

That would have been even a more of a what?

Speaker E:

You know.

Speaker E:

But you know what?

Speaker E:

This.

Speaker E:

What makes me think that now that the weigh ins are back in control of Scary Movie and they have two decades plus of ammo to work with that script gonna be fired.

Speaker E:

I hope they got.

Speaker E:

They had time and ammo.

Speaker E:

Two things you don't give a bunch of comedians.

Speaker A:

That family Marlin.

Speaker A:

They don't even need time.

Speaker A:

That's.

Speaker A:

That is ingrained.

Speaker A:

That is DNA.

Speaker A:

That is.

Speaker E:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

From the blood.

Speaker A:

That is from the ancestral right action.

Speaker D:

Chops has just skyrocketed man.

Speaker E:

You know, I did see him.

Speaker E:

It wasn't bad.

Speaker E:

It just.

Speaker E:

It was misunderstood.

Speaker A:

That's what I.

Speaker A:

That's why I hear a lot of like people.

Speaker A:

People are.

Speaker E:

People were expecting get out in us when really it was more psychological.

Speaker D:

For real.

Speaker A:

And, and.

Speaker A:

And talking on top of that.

Speaker A:

It's not.

Speaker A:

It's not a Jordan Peele directed film.

Speaker A:

It's a produced.

Speaker A:

Is produced by his people, by him.

Speaker E:

But I do hope Marlon gets more serious roles because, man, he can.

Speaker D:

Man, he nails it.

Speaker D:

You give him a serious role, he.

Speaker D:

You could tell he's been playing his trade.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Because like after seeing him in Bel Air, I was.

Speaker A:

I'm like, what, dude?

Speaker E:

Right?

Speaker C:

For a dream.

Speaker A:

Yes.

Speaker A:

And that was just the taste, right?

Speaker A:

It was like we were just getting used to.

Speaker A:

Like we were just getting exposed.

Speaker A:

Exposed to Marlon.

Speaker A:

Marlon been on this thing where you're.

Speaker E:

Just like, dude, we know you can do more.

Speaker E:

We know your family.

Speaker E:

Your family is nothing more than a bunch of talented.

Speaker E:

Yo mama had nothing but talented children because good Lord, all of them.

Speaker E:

I know.

Speaker E:

Everybody working.

Help, please.

Speaker A:

No, but yeah, I think we definitely are not going to see the end of the black screen queens.

Speaker A:

And I hope we don't see the end of because there are there shout out to like studios like A24 and.

Speaker A:

And all these other like indie type production companies.

Speaker A:

They're just like, yeah, take these chances.

Speaker A:

Get these actresses out there, like they, they fill the mold.

Speaker A:

It works.

Speaker A:

Tell that story.

Speaker A:

Let's do it.

Speaker A:

Don't be afraid.

Speaker E:

That part.

Speaker E:

Don't be afraid.

Speaker E:

That part of.

Speaker E:

Don't be afraid of actually moving forward with the story that is not considered the quote unquote Hollywood norm be different.

Speaker A:

Which, which really for Hollywood, face it, it's.

Speaker A:

It's a dying breed in Hollywood.

Speaker A:

Listen, let's be honest.

Speaker A:

They have a dying.

Speaker A:

A dying recipe.

Speaker E:

We saw the trailer for primate.

Speaker E:

Hollywood has already passed life support at this point.

Speaker A:

I've seen that.

Speaker A:

I'm like, monkey shines.

Speaker A:

That's all I can say.

Speaker E:

I'm trying to figure out crazy.

Speaker A:

I look, I'm like, y' all didn't even use a real monkey.

Speaker A:

Whatever.

Speaker E:

Nope.

Speaker E:

Yeah, I'm good.

Speaker E:

I just sat there.

Speaker E:

I was like.

Speaker E:

And this is what we've come to.

Speaker E:

This is what we've come to.

Speaker E:

The fact that Hollywood has said, forget the barrel.

Speaker E:

We are now going subterranean.

Speaker D:

It was like you took the rampant monkey story and took it out of.

Speaker D:

Nope.

Speaker D:

And said, let's turn it into a movie.

Speaker A:

You said, let's go and revisit monkey shines and do it.

Speaker E:

I can't wait.

Speaker E:

I can't wait for Uncle Ruckus to.

Speaker A:

Come out of nowhere.

Speaker E:

See, that's what you get for messing up with the monkeys that.

Speaker E:

That could.

Speaker E:

See that monkey that.

Speaker E:

Those white people treated you so well, but look at you.

Speaker E:

Your monkey with monkey look.

Speaker A:

They got them smelling like vanilla, and here you come, funking it all up.

Speaker D:

Here come the wife.

Speaker D:

People come around here, smell like living pleasure furniture polish.

Speaker D:

You know, they know how you darkies out here.

Speaker D:

I'm just messing it all up for the good wife.

Speaker A:

Oh, my God.

Speaker E:

Where's Gary Anthony Williams?

Speaker F:

Black Spartan.

Speaker F:

Definitely nailed that, though.

Speaker E:

Gary Anthony Williams would have had a field day with the primate trailer.

Speaker E:

He would have been.

Speaker E:

If you gave him that.

Speaker E:

All you needed was the tuba to come in and just.

Speaker E:

He would have so much fun with it.

Speaker E:

I sure would have loved to be where that monkey is.

Speaker E:

To be around them white folks and be treated as such, but treating them all good.

Speaker E:

No, that monkey.

Speaker E:

That monkey was an undeserving monkey.

Speaker E:

See, that monkey was a.

Speaker A:

Look at Whoopty's face.

Speaker E:

She like, oh, I may have channeled Uncle Ruckus a little too much.

Speaker E:

I apologize.

Speaker E:

I apologize.

Speaker A:

I apologize.

Speaker D:

I don't know why you apologizing.

Speaker A:

Did we even see the director?

Speaker A:

No, I don't think we did.

Speaker E:

No.

Speaker A:

No, I don't think we did that.

Speaker E:

Direct was the same holes, Diddy.

Speaker E:

We didn't see where he came in or out, but they.

Speaker A:

They kept pushing.

Speaker A:

They kept pushing.

Speaker A:

Jordan Peele.

Speaker A:

Jordan Peele.

Speaker A:

Jordan Peele.

Speaker A:

And people's minds think, oh, this is Jordan Peele movie.

Speaker A:

No, it's not.

Speaker A:

It's.

Speaker A:

It's produced by Jordan Peele in.

Speaker A:

In his company, Monkey Paw.

Speaker A:

You know, it's not a Jordan Peele movie, so.

Speaker A:

But here we are.

Speaker E:

Right?

Speaker A:

But once.

Speaker A:

You know, but once again, like you said, Spartan people, there's.

Speaker A:

I've gotten those same reactions from other people that seen it.

Speaker A:

It was like, yeah, like CJ over three black geeks.

Speaker A:

He said he's seen.

Speaker A:

He's like, I liked it.

Speaker A:

He said, Marlon did a great job acting.

Speaker A:

The acting actually was really good.

Speaker A:

And on top of that, they said you have to have a really.

Speaker A:

A strong understanding what's actually happening in that film.

Speaker A:

Which even if it was a Jordan Peele film, you still need that level of thought process.

Speaker E:

Yep.

Speaker A:

Because.

Speaker E:

Because hidden.

Speaker E:

Hidden Messages.

Speaker E:

I mean, there were so many hidden messages and.

Speaker A:

Get out.

Speaker C:

There was layers.

Speaker A:

Yep.

Speaker E:

I mean, especially with get out, get out, get out had me wondering, like.

Speaker A:

See, I don't even like milk.

Speaker A:

I'm lactose, and I wouldn't even trust you sipping milk and eating that loops by themselves.

Speaker E:

That was the one.

Speaker E:

That was the one time.

Speaker E:

I remember I was gonna go work out afterwards and I got chocolate milk instead of regular.

Speaker E:

Instead of regular.

Speaker E:

Like, nope, I can't take that chance.

Speaker E:

Not this gas station where your boy was eyeing at me.

Speaker C:

No, she was so racist that she was separating the colors from the whites.

Speaker A:

Yeah, exactly.

Speaker E:

That's a serial killer.

Speaker A:

I don't even look at that girl saying, because I see you was in Megan.

Speaker D:

Thank you.

Speaker A:

Like, yeah, thank you.

Speaker A:

You are up to no good, my dear.
