00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 2: about that Sinners Imax re released because there is a

16
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 2: lot of controversy about Sinnas giving up all its sold

17
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 2: out screens to the Thunderbolts this weekend.

18
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 1: But first news, folks, It's been long awaited. There have

19
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: been leaks on the way towards waiting for this game announcement,

20
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 1: and here it is. The announcement has happened. Grand Theft

21
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 1: Auto six is coming in one year, alleged May twenty six,

22
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:27,119
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six. From the announcement quote, we are very

23
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: sorry that this is later than you expected. The interesting

24
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,119
Speaker 1: excitement surround a new Grand Theft Atolwa has been truly

25
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 1: humbling for our entire team. We want to thank you

26
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 1: for your supporting your patients as we work to finish

27
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: the game. Now. I think there were some theorizing that

28
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: we would see this like summer of twenty two.

29
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 2: Yes, I it was kind of it was kind of

30
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 2: expected that the game would come out in twenty twenty

31
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 2: five and it would dominate game of the year, it

32
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 2: would be the big game.

33
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 3: So this this kind of opens it up a little

34
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 3: bit more.

35
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 2: There's Aaron put some great notes in here, like there's

36
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 2: some been some big hits already, Split Fiction totally came out,

37
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 2: Just Kill It, Kingdom, Come Deliverance two. Lots of conversation

38
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 2: about that expedition thirty three. So maybe we're going to

39
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 2: have another kind of balatro ish year where some unexpected

40
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 2: stuff comes. Most important question, Jason Wins of Winter GTA six,

41
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 2: Which one's gonna come out?

42
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: First, I clearly GTA. I think my question is, you know,

43
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: usually in the past GT has released at the at

44
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: the end of a life cycle of whatever consoles are out.

45
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: This feels like very very late in that potential life cycle.

46
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: So that'll be interesting. Like you would expect by May

47
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: twenty six.

48
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 3: We would be knowing what the next we PlayStation, next.

49
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: Gen would be. Yeah, it would be looming. So that's

50
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: it's quite interesting. Up next tariffs. Microsoft is raising prices

51
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: on Xbox consoles, controllers, and games worldwide, and you would

52
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 1: expect this to happen. It's gonna happen to the board

53
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 1: in the space, whether it's PC games, whether it's PlayStation games,

54
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: whether it's Nintendo hard where in games, et cetera. Microsoft

55
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: announced that the Xbox Series X will go up one

56
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:09,239
Speaker 1: hundred bucks five ninety nine to six hundred dollars. Basically,

57
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,799
Speaker 1: games will cost eighty bucks with a ten dollars price hike.

58
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 1: And you know it's it's the tariffs, baby.

59
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 3: That's the teriff. Everything's gang expensive.

60
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 2: Now if you're gang stuff from other countries, it's gang expensive.

61
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: That's the tariff.

62
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 2: Life Jason, Xbox X Series X is it what six

63
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 2: hundred dollars, Donna said.

64
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: Nonna Donna said, no, I you know, I'll say this.

65
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: I think that the Xbox actually is a wonderful value proposition.

66
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: I do have it. I think that their Xbox it's

67
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: called Xbox game.

68
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 3: Pass, right, Yeah, you get a lot of games with

69
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 3: the game Pass.

70
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: I yeah, I think that Xbox Game Pass is actually

71
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: a wonderful service with like really really great titles as

72
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 1: well worth having. It's just tough because this is so

73
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: unnecessary even it's like overall is self inflicted.

74
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 2: Yeah.

75
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: Really, dumbing of the.

76
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 2: Deal is tough to live through because it's always the

77
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 2: worst deal than the deal was before.

78
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: The art of the deal is you're broke, Yeah, exactly,

79
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: which people are richer. Let's take a break.

80
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 3: Yes, perfect timing, and.

81
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: We're back Polygon. Listen, we've both been in media along time,

82
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:44,239
Speaker 1: and this is the life cycle of media, particularly digital media.

83
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,359
Speaker 1: Some cool site rises with.

84
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 2: Incredible, inevitably independent talent that brings people, the talented.

85
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: Staff, and is inevitably sold to somebody who then breaks

86
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 1: it apart into little pieces and then it's gone. And

87
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: then all of that talent disperses to another site which

88
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: rises and then is destroyed in the similar exactly to

89
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: that end. Polygon has been sold to private equity firm Valnet,

90
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: and many people have been fired. Yes, quote from an

91
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 1: article on Kataku by Chris Plante, I am no longer

92
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 1: with Polygon. Quote from the article quotes Polygon's Chris Plante,

93
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: I am no longer with Polygon. If you're hiring, please

94
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: consider the many talented writers and editors now on the market.

95
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: Every one of them deserves a spot on your staff.

96
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: I won't be talking more about the sale because I

97
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 1: wasn't involved. Going to hang out with my kid taking

98
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 1: wins word.

99
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 2: Also, a Chris Plante was the co founder of Polygon,

100
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 2: so that should give you an insight into how big

101
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 2: this is.

102
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 3: I was very lucky to write Polygon. It was one

103
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 3: of my career goals.

104
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 2: When I first started writing about comics. So I did

105
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 2: a post about this yesterday. But the incredible Susanna Polo,

106
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 2: who is one of the comics critics that I really

107
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 2: looked up to, she reached out to me in twenty

108
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 2: twenty asked me if I wanted to review a really

109
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 2: fun movel event called Empire, and from there.

110
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 3: I got to do all kinds of incredible pieces there.

111
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 2: This is the thing that people don't really understand about

112
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 2: what we're losing when we lose somewhere like Polygon. Polygon

113
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 2: is a gaming site and it's one of the few

114
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 2: really positive, like inclusive gaming sites, but it was also

115
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 2: somewhere where they were not afraid of like imagination.

116
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 3: So I did everything. I did a super research piece.

117
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 2: That took months about the harm of the exploitative nature

118
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:29,119
Speaker 2: of comic book contracts and how they were injuring people

119
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 2: after the comics broke me hashtag. But I also got

120
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 2: to write like a history of the cinematic stoner and

121
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 2: why Shaggy was like the archetype for the cinematic stoner

122
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 2: in slasher movies.

123
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 3: Like, there was so much fun to be had. There

124
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 3: so many incredible editors.

125
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 2: Every editor I worked with made me a better writer,

126
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 2: and every single one of them has been laid off.

127
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 3: Also just some vowndneck context. They own so many sites.

128
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 2: They own CBR, they own comic book dot com, they

129
00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 2: own Collider and many more game spot I believe as well.

130
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 2: And there was recently an article on The Rap that

131
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 2: talked about how bound networks. So I'm in a quote

132
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 2: from The Rap, this is from the rap who Bownett

133
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 2: is currently suing. So I am not saying this, only

134
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 2: the rap is saying this. When Bounett takes over a

135
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 2: fan site, the playbook is well established. Employees are replaced

136
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 2: by contractors, compensation plummets, and writers who can plain land

137
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 2: on a blacklist that blocks them from working for bound

138
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 2: net sites altogether. And that is you know, that's what

139
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 2: the rap said about Boundett, And I will say when

140
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 2: I worked at Pollagon and I was pitching recently on

141
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 2: murder Bot, I mean, I was sure I would still

142
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 2: be working there, but my editors are now gone. They

143
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 2: paid incredibly fair money that you could actually live off

144
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 2: for writing an article, which is very rare, and one

145
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 2: of the true things about Bownett and the many people

146
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 2: who worked there is that is not the case. So yeah,

147
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 2: this is a really sad loss. But as Jason said,

148
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 2: this is also the nature of these sites.

149
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: This is the reality.

150
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 2: I have been waiting for all the freelance sites I

151
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 2: write at to be bought by round Theet, and this

152
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 2: is why one of the last ones to go. So

153
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 2: Hologon's amazing support those writers. Same with the Daily Dot.

154
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 2: I know they just had a bunch of layoffs. Support

155
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 2: those writers. If you need writers, hire them, reach out

156
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 2: to them, go on LinkedIn.

157
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 3: And that's not even it.

158
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 2: There was another gaming site that was kind of torn

159
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 2: apart this weekend too. It's been a lot, So just

160
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 2: support those writers and keep reading what we do, and

161
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 2: also find different ways to support them through patreons or

162
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 2: newsletters or whichever way you can kind of directly go

163
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 2: to those writers because they're still here. We're still trying

164
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 2: to do the drop. It's just harder and harder in

165
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 2: a digital media landscape.

166
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: Sinners continues to hit crazy answers, seeing very little drop

167
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,719
Speaker 1: in box office week to week, and because of that,

168
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: movie theaters are and Warner Brothers are looking to capitalize

169
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: on the popularity and put it back into Imax because

170
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: only a limited release in Imax before coming out. Put

171
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: it back into IMAX for the week of May fifteenth

172
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 1: to the twenty first. Ye Now this is somewhat controversial

173
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: because that also conflicts with the release of Thunderbols, which

174
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: was going to be an Imax. Is only a limited

175
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: number of IMAX screens across the country.

176
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 2: That's why Thunderbolts comes out this weekend and all the

177
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 2: IMAX screens are going over to Thunderbolts, but as viewers

178
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 2: and Internet netizens noticed, the Thunderbolt screenings were not as

179
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 2: full as the Sinner's screenings and as I'm guessing, distributors

180
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 2: not as two and cinema owners, so it looks like

181
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,319
Speaker 2: they're giving Marvel a two week exclusive slot, which is

182
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 2: probably what they Disney paid for. And then now fifteenth

183
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 2: twenty first it will go back to Sinners. But interestingly,

184
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 2: and this may have changed, yesterday when those tickets were released,

185
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 2: they crashed the AMC app which apparently has never happened,

186
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 2: and as far as we know, most of them are

187
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 2: already sold out. So I think we could see an

188
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 2: extended run of Sinners going in kind of like everything ever,

189
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 2: all at once, going into the award season, and they

190
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:02,359
Speaker 2: are extending.

191
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 3: If you live in La and I know we are

192
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 3: blessed here because we not only.

193
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: Have Yeah, we're very very blessed. It's not fair.

194
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 2: We not only have a true IMAX at the Seawalk,

195
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 2: but we also have the Vista Quentin Tarantinos newest cinema acquisition.

196
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 2: They are extending their run of seventy mil So if

197
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,439
Speaker 2: you do want to see it in seventy mil You

198
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 2: can go to the Vista and you can see it

199
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 2: at a daytime matinee and it will not be sold

200
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 2: out even though all the evening screenings are. I'm just

201
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:30,319
Speaker 2: so happy that this movie is getting the love it deserves.

202
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,959
Speaker 2: And also, like whatever you think about the quality of

203
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 2: the movie, even though it is universally kind of quite beloved,

204
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 2: I just love that this is making people excited to

205
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,599
Speaker 2: go to the cinema and specifically excited to go and

206
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 2: see large format movies.

207
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 3: Because all movies get an IMAX release.

208
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 2: If they're a big blockbuster movie, maybe they'll have a

209
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 2: couple of scenes shot for Imax, you know. The Thunderbolts

210
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 2: definitely fits into that. But this is a movie where

211
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 2: people want to see it on Imax because of the

212
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 2: way that it was made, and I think that is

213
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 2: how we should be approaching getting more people into the cinema.

214
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 3: Is it an event?

215
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 2: Was it something specifically crafted for you to experience on

216
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 2: this huge screen? And Coogler made that very clear. So yeah,

217
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 2: it's been controversial that The Thunderbolts is going to be

218
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 2: in there. I'm hoping that we will see a push

219
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 2: of Sinners audiences to multiple other screens.

220
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 3: It's still great.

221
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 2: I saw it at the Alamo draft House. Tiny screen

222
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 2: was just as enjoyable as on the giant screen. Coogler

223
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 2: cut it for everyone. So yeah, I'm very excited to

224
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 2: see where this heads, and also to see what that

225
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 2: Sinner's drop off is gonna look like without the premium format,

226
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 2: because the truth is that had a four point eight

227
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 2: percent drop off last week.

228
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: In the end, it ended up that's unheard of. That's

229
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: kind of unheard of.

230
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 3: It's unheard of. It's literally just Avatar.

231
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 1: That's like tight, that's like Titanic type like type drop off.

232
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 2: Avatar is the first Avatar was like a one point

233
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 2: eight percent Titanic the movie by the way, that the yeah.

234
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: You know, the actual drop not the actual type, but

235
00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: the Titanic film, which which famously had leg.

236
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're the only person that they have to beat

237
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 2: is James Cameron because he has a one point six

238
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 2: percent drop on Avatar. But also Avatar has released at Christmas,

239
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 2: that is way easier to get a smaller drop. So Ryan,

240
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 2: you're killing it. I'm really proud of this movie.

241
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: I freaking love it.

242
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 3: Everyone keep going.

243
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: I love the.

244
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 2: Discord support for it and now put on your spoiler

245
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 2: earmuffs if you do not want to hear the wild

Speaker 2: ramblings of an x meng genius that may impact the MCU.

247
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: Hold on quick, grape about the vista. Figure out your

248
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: concession line. That's all I'm gonna say.

249
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, please do you got.

250
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: To figure out the concession line Vista. Love the theater,

251

Speaker 1: It's beautiful, Love the art Echo style inside Quentin. You

252
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: did a wonderful job. The concession line I can cut

253
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: is a mess anyway. Spoiler spoiler spoiler big MCU, potential

254
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 1: big MCU spoilers about Avengers Doomsday via nonamics, legend, uncanny

255
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 1: x men legend Chris clint Man, Chris Claremont, who at

256
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: the Huntsville Pop Culture Expo this.

257
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,559
Speaker 2: Year is just always going on stage and say it's

258
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 2: a wild stuff. We've covered it before, but right now

259
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 2: he's out there just allegedly spilling THEBCU be He.

260
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: Went on a a unhinged claremontyan rant at the Huntsville

261
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 1: Pop Culture Expo claiming, among other things, and again spoiler

262
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:30,319
Speaker 1: warning that Scarlet which is returning in Doomsday that was

263
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 1: not announced. No chair for Scarlet Witch.

264
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 2: But I have to say, on the spectrum of true

265
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 2: or not true, I'm saying that's true.

266
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: We always said that there's gonna be surprises and people

267
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 1: who were not in the chairs. Not only that, but

268
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: Chris Evans will be returning to plain evil Captain America.

269
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: Hopefully not the hydro Nazis.

270
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:50,839
Speaker 3: Oh God, I hope not.

271
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 2: But honestly, again, on the scale of true to not true,

272
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 2: it's leaning true to me because we know that Robert

273
00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 2: Downey Junior will be playing multiple characters probably, so I'm

274
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:01,679
Speaker 2: saying this.

275
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 3: The true meter is in the middle on this one,

276
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 3: but it could be true.

277
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: Funca Johnson will be turning to reprise her role as

278
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: Jean Gray.

279
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 3: You know what, I would love to see it. That's crazy,

280
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 3: but it would make sense.

281
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 2: Also, Chris Clamont, he was in those old he was

282
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 2: doing cameos in those old X Men movies.

283
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 3: Maybe they stayed in touch. Who knows. The truth meter

284
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 3: is swelling.

285
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 1: The Fantastic Four has been active for three years before

286
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: the events of the upcoming Fantastic Four movie Wait, which

287
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 1: I think.

288
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 2: I think that he is talking about in the When

289
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 2: we see the Fantastic Four in the new movie, they

290
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 2: will have been active for about three years, which is

291
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 2: kind of in their dimensions in their dementia, because as

292
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 2: the trailers have I mean this one, I feel like

293
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 2: he could have just guessed from the trailers as the

294
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 2: trailers kind of revealed they already got their powers. Now

295
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 2: they're active, that makes sense. This was my favorite alleged thing.

296
00:14:55,840 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 2: Apparently he like revealed the height of Galactus, which like, sir,

297
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 2: what do you mean, Like, what are you talking about,

298
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 2: Christopher clear Mountain?

299
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 3: Like, get on, GM with it, come on, you really

300
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 3: are okay. I also love this one, and I'm gonna

301
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 3: say this ironically.

302
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: Is I just want to say that this is so

303
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 1: wearying to me, but like, yes, yes, fine, It's like.

304
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 2: One of those really weird ones where he was basically like,

305
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 2: Silock's gonna return, but she's not gonna be Asian.

306
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 3: That in itself sounds like an insane It sounds like

307
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 3: an insane thing to say.

308
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 2: But what he is probably talking about is, if you

309
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 2: know the history of Silock, there is a weird thing

310
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 2: of her and Betsy Braddock and they're basically like in

311
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 2: the same body, and Bet has been in her body

312
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 2: and recently in the Hickman X Men, they were split

313
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 2: into two characters. Thank god, finally, so what he But

314
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 2: I don't think that they would be stupid enough to

315
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 2: do a white Silock.

316
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: I think first of all, they never Here's the thing

317
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 1: Siloc was. Siloq was originally Betsy Brader, Captain Britten's sister,

318
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: right with the telepathic skills. Then for reasons unclear, became

319
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 1: became an Asian character, and then they had to ret

320
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: kind of reason that this happened, leading to, as you mentioned,

321
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: this split of the two characters that said he and

322
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 1: the ethnicity of Silak in the comics has been a

323
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: very complicated situation that is remains unclear how it happened.

324
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 3: But it's funny hearing it's.

325
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 2: Honestly, this is classic Clamont because what you know, what

326
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 2: one of our super producers put in here was like,

327
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 2: you know, he's not involved in the making of the film.

328
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 3: He's not necessarily saying anything true. How does he know?

329
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 2: But I will say Chris Clamont has for a long time.

330
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 2: We don't know if he's still on it, but for

331
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 2: a long time he's on. He was on this essential

332
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 2: like million dollar a year contract where he just wouldn't

333
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 2: write for DC, but he would occasionally come back and

334
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 2: do something for Marvel, right, so he is still very

335
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 2: involved in some ways. And if that bringing the X

336
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 2: men in, I wouldn't be surprised if he is, if

337
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,120
Speaker 2: he's on the council or something, or if he's hearing

338
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 2: stuff from other people. But this is this is why

339
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 2: you can't tell this man anything. He's always coming on

340
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 2: stage saying something silly, embarrassing people.

341
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 3: But Chris, if you want to come on all podcasts.

342
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: And say something, please and reveal some secrets, come on.

343

Speaker 3: We'll we'll have you man, We'll have you.

344
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:27,760
