Speaker 1: Hey guys, No, it's supposed to be news today.
Speaker 2: We know that Saturday is your newsday, but there were
Speaker 2: so many trailers that we just had to get into them.
Speaker 2: So today you're getting an extra trailer bonanza, and tomorrow
Speaker 2: we will have news with a very exciting interview with
Speaker 2: the director of Eddington Ariasta.
Speaker 3: Big, Big trailer week. Let's start with Mortal Kombat two,
Speaker 3: the sequel to the latest form of combat movie. This
Speaker 3: one's starring Carl Urban as Johnny Cage, a kind of
Speaker 3: retired and washed up Johnny Cage.
Speaker 1: It looks so good. How do you feel about it?
Speaker 3: I'm more excited about this than I was about the
Speaker 3: first one, and this, yeah, looks like a better film
Speaker 3: from just judging from.
Speaker 2: The trailer, and so I think that what they learned
Speaker 2: from the first, which, as everybody knows, I love camp classic,
Speaker 2: they did not. They were not afraid to lean into
Speaker 2: the campiness of Mortal Kombat. The first one has great action,
Speaker 2: great gore, fun cast, but they did a classic kind
Speaker 2: of reboot thing where they introduced this new character, Cole,
Speaker 2: played by Lewis tan who is obviously a fantastic martial artist.
Speaker 2: He's an in the movie he's an MMA fighter, he
Speaker 2: has a daughter, that's why he goes to fight in
Speaker 2: the Mortal Kombat.
Speaker 1: But you know a lot of audiences were like.
Speaker 2: Well, we would have rather seen a character we already knew,
Speaker 2: blah blah blah. So it seems like what they've basically
Speaker 2: done here is they're essentially doing the kind of Evil
Speaker 2: Dead two version where you basically do sort of a
Speaker 2: remake ish for your sequel with a new and you
Speaker 2: have your new in character here, who's cart Urban playing
Speaker 2: Johnny Cage kind of as like a Van Dam in
Speaker 2: the Zeros like things of quiet and down for him,
Speaker 2: but he still can fight. And the really fun thing
Speaker 2: here is he does not have powers. Whereas Cole realized
Speaker 2: he had powers, he could kind of manifest the magic
Speaker 2: of the Mortal Kombat realm. But here we see Johnny
Speaker 2: basically going in and being like what the fuck and
Speaker 2: also still being able to really do some cool fights.
Speaker 2: Lots of Van Dam references here. We see him doing
Speaker 2: like the flying bird kicks and stuff spin kicks. I mean,
Speaker 2: it looks so good. Also, I am really excited because,
Speaker 2: as you all know, I love Tati Gabrielle, and she
Speaker 2: is in this as Jade, I'd somehow missed that casting.
Speaker 1: You have lu Kang.
Speaker 2: We've confirmed that he will be returning after being killed,
Speaker 2: which is amazing because the kid who plays lu Kang
Speaker 2: is actually one of the students of Jackie Chan who
Speaker 2: studied in his school from when he was a kid
Speaker 2: to become part of Jackie's stunt team, and the first
Speaker 2: movie when he was in it as lu Kang was
Speaker 2: his first kind of big, non Jackie Chang connected role.
Speaker 1: So I have a lot of love for this cast.
Speaker 2: Fanta see Sonya Blade Back, Fantasy Jack's Back, and I
Speaker 2: just think that is going to be a great addition.
Speaker 2: This movie actually did. The first movie did incredibly well,
Speaker 2: even though it was a day and date release. It
Speaker 2: is still, if I'm not mistaken, the most successful original
Speaker 2: HBO movie that they.
Speaker 1: Have ever put on.
Speaker 2: And also it made like fifty million dollars at the
Speaker 2: cinema during half lockdown, so it was a big deal.
Speaker 2: The fandom is there, the games are great. It is
Speaker 2: made by Warner Brothers who own nether Realm now and
Speaker 2: they work really closely with ed Boone and the people
Speaker 2: who created.
Speaker 1: More Aal Kombat.
Speaker 2: Obviously, you got legends like Hira Yuki sonatas in there.
Speaker 2: You also have it's a it's actually great for you
Speaker 2: if you are a Shogun fan because here are Yuki
Speaker 2: is in it. But we also have the star of
Speaker 2: Ichi the Killer, my number one love, who was fantastic
Speaker 2: and recently won a really really great Emmy and well
Speaker 2: deserved Emmy for Shogun, which is Tadanabu Asano. I love
Speaker 2: him and he is here as This is really a
Speaker 2: legendary collection of martial artists. And if you haven't watched
Speaker 2: the first one, you can watch it on HBO now
Speaker 2: and get ready because I think the second one. I
Speaker 2: think this could be a blow up. It comes out
Speaker 2: in October, good for Halloween, good for horror times, good
Speaker 2: for fun, and it's gonna be in a cinema landscape
Speaker 2: that is totally different from when the first one came out.
Speaker 2: There's no day to date release. Now there's gonna be
Speaker 2: cinemas showing this all over the country. It's going to
Speaker 2: have a massive wide release, and I think it's going
Speaker 2: to be very interesting to see how it does, because
Speaker 2: this does feel like a franchise where every couple of
Speaker 2: years you could just make a new movie about a
Speaker 2: new character totally agree right, and it looks great. It
Speaker 2: looks fun and Colob and is really I think he
Speaker 2: does a great job, even just in this trailer, of
Speaker 2: differentiating the character from what we've come to expect from
Speaker 2: him as the butcher in The Boys.
Speaker 1: He is here, he's a lot more.
Speaker 2: Like kind of, he's very sassy, he's got a lot
Speaker 2: of jokes. He's kind of but we also see that
Speaker 2: he still has his fandom. I was really lucky that
Speaker 2: Warner Brothers actually sent me because they know I am
Speaker 2: a Mortal Kombat Superstan and I got to visit this
Speaker 2: actual set of the first.
Speaker 1: One in Adelaide.
Speaker 2: They sent me a box, and in the box was
Speaker 2: a real DVD of Johnny Cage's trailer.
Speaker 1: For his nineties movie.
Speaker 2: I believe it's uncaged t Yeah, they sent a real DVD,
Speaker 2: so they knew they are.
Speaker 1: They know their audience.
Speaker 2: This is their audience. It looks like fun. I love
Speaker 2: that they're going out of their way to kind of
Speaker 2: make it fun.
Speaker 1: I'll be interested.
Speaker 2: Hopefully they're going to have some kind of presence at
Speaker 2: San Diego. It feels like that would be a great place.
Speaker 2: And if you're just a classic more l Kombat lover
Speaker 2: of the nineties movie or the original games, you get
Speaker 2: those moments.
Speaker 1: We get Scorpion.
Speaker 2: Swinging his chains into sub Zero and saying finish it,
Speaker 2: you know, call me get over here, get over here,
Speaker 2: and you know, hrryu Ki Sanada definitely never said that
Speaker 2: line like that. Man is so softly spoken. Also, I
Speaker 2: would say the first movie, the opening twenty minutes are
Speaker 2: really really great kind of feudal Japan, history of sub
Speaker 2: Zero and Scorpion and how they became pitted against each other.
Speaker 2: So there is a lot of really cool stuff. Joe
Speaker 2: Taslam if you love the Raid, he plays sub Zero
Speaker 2: in this, so another legendary martial artist. Yeah, just really
Speaker 2: fun movie to check out. And I couldn't be more
Speaker 2: stoked after seeing this trailer. I agree with you, Jason.
Speaker 2: I think it looks better than the first one.
Speaker 3: It does up next Alien Earth trailer too. The FX
Speaker 3: series Alien Earth is coming and apparently won't use any
Speaker 3: CG for this nmore. If it's gonna be completely practical effects,
Speaker 3: I gotta say, we don't see it in the in
Speaker 3: the trailer, but I'm intrigued.
Speaker 2: I'm actually I love it. I love the focus on
Speaker 2: practical effects. We know that is what made the denim off.
Speaker 2: So it was a guy in a suit and it
Speaker 2: was a It has become an iconic creation, and you
Speaker 2: know it was brought to life originally by Billaji Bdejo,
Speaker 2: who was this kind of immensely tall, fantastic creature actor.
Speaker 1: And I love that this is what they say.
Speaker 2: They say the iconic creature was brought to life using
Speaker 2: only practical effects. The show's director of photography, Dana gonzalezuld you.
Speaker 3: Get a glimpse of it, kind of like peering around
Speaker 3: in case it's but they don't see the whole It's immobile.
Speaker 3: There's no movement.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't like it whenever anyone says we won't
Speaker 2: use any CG because the truth is, I just know
Speaker 2: that the reality of it is there's loads of incredible
Speaker 2: animators who are adding some like goo.
Speaker 1: Or something to the mouth.
Speaker 2: But maybe I'm wrong, and I would love to see
Speaker 2: a brilliant, beautiful xenomorph.
Speaker 1: Also very exciting. This show comes out August twelfth.
Speaker 2: We're gonna have some really cool alien Earth stuff going
Speaker 2: on at San Diego. And the thing I'm most interested
Speaker 2: in is that.
Speaker 1: This is a prequel.
Speaker 2: This is a prequel to the original Alien movie. It
Speaker 2: basically is set in twenty one twenty which the original
Speaker 2: movie is set in twenty one twenty two. So I'm
Speaker 2: really intrigued to see this world. We haven't seen it,
Speaker 2: you know. Ridley Scott went way further back for Prometheus,
Speaker 2: and he showed different timelines that we were.
Speaker 1: Not as close to.
Speaker 2: The movie basically either further ahead and slept further behind.
Speaker 2: So it's going to be really interesting to see how
Speaker 2: they kind of go to making it look like that
Speaker 2: retro futuristic technology. I think visually so far the trailer
Speaker 2: looks incredible. I'm most excited to see the Xenomorph brought
Speaker 2: to life. I also love the inherent corruption of Waylan
Speaker 2: Utani and kind of the pro worker notion of the
Speaker 2: first Alien movie, so I really hope that they bring
Speaker 2: some of that kind of grit and reality about it
Speaker 2: being about like working class people start working for this
Speaker 2: evil corporation and how the corporation's machinations kind of put
Speaker 2: people in danger. I think that's incredibly timely story right now,
Speaker 2: and also fingers crossed for those of us who do
Speaker 2: love a little bit of Prometheus and Covenant, maybe we'll
Speaker 2: get some connections there, because I was surprised by how
Speaker 2: much Alien Romulus actually did look to that. So I'm
Speaker 2: really excited for this show. Also, again just always bringing
Speaker 2: it up, it's Noah Hawley. He made he made Legion.
Speaker 2: You know, this is a show that people really really
Speaker 2: love and he has done a lot of great stuff,
Speaker 2: and I, yeah, I'm excited for it.
Speaker 3: Up next, tron Ares has released a trailer and it rips.
Speaker 2: It looks Oh my dad, how dare it looks so good? Incredible?
Speaker 3: This movie, incredible cast and this movie. Here's the log line.
Speaker 3: Tron Aries follows a highly sophisticated program Aries who is
Speaker 3: sent from the digital world into the real world on
Speaker 3: a dangerous mission, marking humankinds first encounter with AI beings.
Speaker 3: In this trailer, it's basically like, uh, it's kind of
Speaker 3: like Terminator in that technology has run a mark.
Speaker 2: But I'll come out of the digital world.
Speaker 3: The computer realm, into the real world realm and it
Speaker 3: looks quite good.
Speaker 2: I gotta be honest, guys. I love the original tron
Speaker 2: No surprises there.
Speaker 1: Grew up on it.
Speaker 2: It's a masterpiece. If you go, I think on Disney
Speaker 2: Plus they have it If.
Speaker 1: Not, it's on YouTube.
Speaker 2: You can watch the documentary about how trom was made
Speaker 2: and how all of the light cycles, everything like that
Speaker 2: were hand painted onto the frames. It's one of the
Speaker 2: coolest things to see how that.
Speaker 1: Movie was made.
Speaker 2: I'm also a fan of Tron Legacy, incredible daft punk soundtrack.
Speaker 2: It struggles, as many Disney live action movies do from
Speaker 2: that time. It's over long, it doesn't necessarily lean into
Speaker 2: the best of the original movie, but there are great moments.
Speaker 2: This cast is crazy. Evan Peters, Gretley, Gillian Anderson, Hassan
Speaker 2: Minaj Okay, Jeff Bridges. Love to see him return. He
Speaker 2: was fantastic in the Legacy. Jody Turner Smith and Morebius.
Speaker 2: It's more, but you know what, it's more good time.
Speaker 2: Let him be more been. He seems like he's kind
Speaker 2: of like the villainous AI of the movie. I will
Speaker 2: allow you may have zero lines. Maybe it's like a
Speaker 2: Robert Patrick esque like terminated two situation, but he doesn't
Speaker 2: have that juice. But you know what, I want to
Speaker 2: see it. The trailer fucking rips. Now. I will say
Speaker 2: there had been another trailer and it was also good,
Speaker 2: but this trailer is like, I know they released this
Speaker 2: trailer to put it before the Fantastic four.
Speaker 1: Ye, this thing is gonna.
Speaker 2: Look unbelievable on the big screen. What are you most
Speaker 2: excited about in a for a Tron movie in twenty
Speaker 2: twenty five? Wow?
Speaker 3: What am I most excited about? I'm excited about I
Speaker 3: will be I'll be honest. I have a little trepidation
Speaker 3: about bringing the virtual world into the real world. What
Speaker 3: was always so fantastic and you know, immersive for my
Speaker 3: imagination was get It was watching people get sucked into
Speaker 3: that computer world.
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course and extreme as you're a kid to
Speaker 2: like be in the arcade world that you're playing, you know,
Speaker 2: so it's very fulfillment.
Speaker 3: So I'm eager to see, you know, Jeff Bridges appears
Speaker 3: to reprise his you know, is he Kevin Flynn, his
Speaker 3: original programmer character kind of rele who gets sucked into
Speaker 3: the computer world. Is he now like one of the
Speaker 3: main programs in the computer.
Speaker 2: In the and in the second there in the in Legacy.
Speaker 2: There's definitely like a question about that, And.
Speaker 3: For me that's the thing I am most I like,
Speaker 3: who is Jeff?
Speaker 1: Who's Javy? And what's also I like?
Speaker 2: I really like the way that they bring the digital
Speaker 2: world out where it's almost like this kind of like
Speaker 2: Tetris chasing you down the street, breaking up your ship.
Speaker 2: It looks really interesting. I'm yeah, let's see how it goes.
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe it's gonna be an unexpected little full hit.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And then finally Stranger Things five. Oh my god, it
Speaker 3: feels like it's been twenty five years since we since
Speaker 3: we began this journey.
Speaker 2: I feel like I'm the old lady from Titanic, like
Speaker 2: it's been ninety years. That's like me thinking about when
Speaker 2: I was watching Stranger Things like nine years ago.
Speaker 3: And my I mean, eleven is fully married in real
Speaker 3: life and all the kids are like way taller than again,
Speaker 3: David has had like an entire marriage and divorced.
Speaker 2: At the time just between the last two seasons. Like, okay,
Speaker 2: so this is this here is all, but also not.
Speaker 1: I'll be there. I'm into it.
Speaker 3: I love these characters and I'm excited to see where
Speaker 3: the thing to me.
Speaker 2: Is like how do you feel? Like, how will it feel?
Speaker 2: And this is over for Netflix because this is gonna
Speaker 2: end a real interesting cycle. They will spin it off.
Speaker 2: This was Netflix's first surprise smash hit that just went
Speaker 2: absolutely crazy allowed them to be kind of merchandising in
Speaker 2: a way that they hadn't been merchandising before this. Abu
Speaker 2: made a great point. Abu said, Hey, I feel like
Speaker 2: nobody watched this show beyond season two. I didn't realize
Speaker 2: it was still running. You may feel like that, but
Speaker 2: I'm going to tell you some people watching people love
Speaker 2: this show. I used to cover this show at Noticed
Speaker 2: and this was like two weeks in advance, Like you
Speaker 2: are making a playlist of every song they used to
Speaker 2: have on Spotify so you can have that linked in
Speaker 2: your article. Because there are so many people who just
Speaker 2: deeply love this show. For a lot of people, this
Speaker 2: was their introduction to easter eggs. This was their introduction
Speaker 2: to kind of retro nostalgia in a way that worked
Speaker 2: for them. My nephew, who is a teenager sixteen, you know,
Speaker 2: grew up watching this show and just can't wait for
Speaker 2: it to come back. So for a lot of people,
Speaker 2: it's gonna be a big deal. My understanding is first
Speaker 2: batch of episodes of the final season they're going to
Speaker 2: premiere on November twenty sixth, so you're looking at holiday
Speaker 2: time and from what they've said, every episode will be
Speaker 2: a movie, which, first of all, I like that just
Speaker 2: then in that release them longer apart. I don't need
Speaker 2: to binge the movie. And then they're doing a second
Speaker 2: batch on Christmas Day.
Speaker 3: Okay, so they're gonna do it in two batches. I
Speaker 3: believe the previous season was in like three bats and
Speaker 3: this one is going.
Speaker 1: To have a fight.
Speaker 2: The finale is going to drop on New Year's Eve,
Speaker 2: so technically three drops. But I think my understanding is
Speaker 2: each one is kind of an hour and a half
Speaker 2: to two hour long movie, which will give them time
Speaker 2: to sort up out a lot of the I'm sure
Speaker 2: like leftover kind of threads that they have established because
Speaker 2: they made a show that was so popular. Now even
Speaker 2: the side characters are really popular and people are gonna
Speaker 2: want to know what happens with them. I mean, they're
Speaker 2: bringing in the big guns too, Like they have Linda
Speaker 2: Hamilton and they were like no, they were like, you
Speaker 2: want to see you want to see her. We're a
Speaker 2: big gun walking down a red little hallway. Yes I do.
Speaker 2: I love Linda Hamilton, I love Sarah Conny, I love Terminator.
Speaker 2: So they're definitely playing into that obviously they've got their
Speaker 2: child in time by Deep Purple. They've got to have
Speaker 2: an old song in the series. As we know, last
Speaker 2: series made a lot of money.
Speaker 1: For the icon.
Speaker 2: Kate Bush because of how much people loved Running Up
Speaker 2: the Hill.
Speaker 3: Was the star of that.
Speaker 2: He's the star of the last season. So I'm very interested.
Speaker 2: I'm sure the hot topic kids are going to be
Speaker 2: loving it. They'll have their T shirts on that Eddie
Speaker 2: Munson lovers are going to be asking where is he?
Speaker 2: Is he coming back? And let's see how it is
Speaker 2: to see all these old ass kids, like twenty five
Speaker 2: year old kids, fully fully adult kids like it is funny.
Speaker 2: This is one of those ultimate kind of streaming issues,
Speaker 2: especially stranger things. You could argue set up the kind
Speaker 2: of big delay between streaming seasons that we've come to expect.
Speaker 2: But I will say I support these kids. I love
Speaker 2: these kids. I think it must be crazy to be
Speaker 2: in this show. I got to visit the set for
Speaker 2: season three, which was in Atlanta in a massive mall.
Speaker 2: It was the mall season and it was honestly an
Speaker 2: incredible set and meeting the kids, I just really appreciated
Speaker 2: how tough it was for them to be in this
Speaker 2: show to try not to spoil it, to just kind
Speaker 2: of exist in this world where you have to basically
Speaker 2: have a secondary secret life, which is your career.
Speaker 1: And so I just hope it's really good for them.
Speaker 2: I hope it makes them. I hope it makes the
Speaker 2: kids a ton of money, and I hope it launches
Speaker 2: them into a new era of their careers.
Speaker 1: Think about something like Twilight.
Speaker 2: When that ended, no one would have imagined what could
Speaker 2: have happened within and with Robert and their incredible careers.
Speaker 2: And I hope, you know, for someone like Millie Bobby Brown,
Speaker 2: she has been very well looked after at Netflix. She's
Speaker 2: stayed in the Netflix stable. She's made a lot of
Speaker 2: streaming movies that Nola Holmes movies are wonderful. Damsels is
Speaker 2: funny and weird, but not necessarily putting her out there
Speaker 2: as the most talented best actress. I hope that maybe
Speaker 2: post this, her and the other kids are going to
Speaker 2: be able to go out there and do stuff. Obviously
Speaker 2: Maya Hawk doesn't need that help. She's always doing really
Speaker 2: interesting stuff.
Speaker 3: The guy who plays Steve's Steve's got a full flight
Speaker 3: music career. Joe as a fun oh Yeah, Joe.
Speaker 2: Kerey in a very very fun movie that I watched
Speaker 2: that was I did. I watched it ages ago, in
Speaker 2: one of those hilarious kind of hot like this is
Speaker 2: the kind of situation you get into when you're a
Speaker 2: journey a journalist. They send you the movie like months
Speaker 2: in advance and they're like, hey, we think you're gonna
Speaker 2: love this movie.
Speaker 1: Why don't you.
Speaker 2: Watch it and then you can interview Joe. And I
Speaker 2: watched it. It was called Spree. It's a Joe Kery as
Speaker 2: an uber driver who wants to get famous, so he
Speaker 2: starts killing people in his uber and it's really funny.
Speaker 2: It's really well done. He gets taken down by a
Speaker 2: badass female stand up comic.
Speaker 1: But then, like when I.
Speaker 2: Was like, cool, the movie's coming out, can I talk
Speaker 2: to Joe, they were like nah, And I was like, Okay,
Speaker 2: but at least this other movie, Like sure, and uh,
Speaker 2: it's really good. I recently rewatched it. It was just randomly
Speaker 2: streaming on Chubi. So he is definitely the one who
Speaker 2: I think so far, with the music career and the
Speaker 2: choices he's making, is reaching out to that Rob Pattinson
Speaker 2: weird space. But I'm hoping we'll get to see that
Speaker 2: even more with our kids. Also, Wow, I'm loving this
Speaker 2: so much that the More I was in, which by
Speaker 2: the way, was half still open and half at the back,
Speaker 2: they'd turn into the Stranger Things set because of they
Speaker 2: hadn't been able to find people in there, so they'd
Speaker 2: turned it into like an eighties more Orange Julius all
Speaker 2: that kind of stuff. That was super Producer commons what
Speaker 2: that was her child?
Speaker 1: Good mall?
Speaker 2: The one she grew up shopping at her child's psychiatrist
Speaker 2: office was inside of Hawkin's lap. Common, This is incredible.
Speaker 2: You are the true star of Stranger Things, babe. But yes,
Speaker 2: Stranger Things five, Are you guys excited for it? I
Speaker 2: gotta check in on the discord and see if the
Speaker 2: excitement and anticipation is there, because I feel like nine
Speaker 2: years in and five seasons in, this is gonna be
Speaker 2: an interesting one for Netflix, but it will probably blow
Speaker 2: up because it is still probably their best known show.
Speaker 2: Let's it for trailers, Trailer Bonanza, Woo Woo Movies TV shows.
