Yes, and today we are joined 0:00:24.079 --> 0:00:27.760 by one of our good friends, very esteemed guests. Um. 0:00:28.560 --> 0:00:31.760 I'm always like, the weird thing about you know, working 0:00:31.800 --> 0:00:34.320 in this industry is you get to become friends with 0:00:34.320 --> 0:00:36.720 people who you thought were cool way before you even 0:00:36.760 --> 0:00:46.080 met them and find out the losers. Yes, yes, just 0:00:46.280 --> 0:00:49.959 like yeah. That voice you hear is none other than 0:00:50.200 --> 0:00:52.840 Malcolm Barrett. How are you doing? Hey? This is one 0:00:52.840 --> 0:00:57.120 of the most professional podcasts. Thank you. And I've been 0:00:57.200 --> 0:01:00.720 on a number of podcasts. I know we somehow, some 0:01:00.800 --> 0:01:05.360 way this week is set up, and it really I 0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:07.559 like when we have people who have been on krilling 0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:10.440 it come on this where it's like, yeah, oh yeah, 0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:14.280 we got snacks, we got catered food, some of these 0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:19.319 parmesan Chris. Because I've been I think three fridges. I 0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:21.240 even told Malcolm, Hey, if you don't find the drink 0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:22.959 that you want in this fridge, we have one upstairs 0:01:23.120 --> 0:01:26.520 has even more drinks. Yeah, Um, Malcolm, so people would 0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:29.080 know you from literally everything. I feel like you've been 0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:31.919 on every show ever. Um, you're an actor, a writer, 0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:34.800 so you said, sometimes a rapper, now a play, right, 0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:37.240 But is this your you've done the play? Is this 0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:40.920 your first play that you've written full length? Place? Okay, 0:01:40.959 --> 0:01:43.760 I've written a couple of short plays. Um. I had 0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:46.360 my own theater company years ago in New York. Um, 0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:48.480 and now I have a second one. Them artistic director 0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:53.040 of Ammal Theater were devoted to diversity. Um, we have 0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:55.040 you know, women and people of color at the top 0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:57.640 making decisions. I think that's real diversity. When you just 0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:00.200 hire a guy, it's not really like you know, just 0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:02.400 like one thing they're like, hey, like what's crazy is 0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:04.440 like all these like um, I'm gonna talk about my 0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:06.800 own industry, but all these like networks they do these 0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:09.679 things where they have these like diversity initiatives and they're 0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:11.120 like we're gonna get to the bottom of this and 0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:12.640 you'll be able to speak to HR and this and 0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:14.160 that and blah blah blah. And it's just like, hey, 0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:16.920 you know this, it's the best diversity initiative. Hire a 0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:19.560 person of color to do the job that you're hiring 0:02:19.600 --> 0:02:24.240 white people to do. That's that's my diversity initiative. Anyway, Malcolm, 0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:26.360 what do you think that people Because we were talking 0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:28.480 about what people come up to you the most about. 0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:30.760 Do you feel like now it's timeless or does it? 0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:36.280 Because does your timeless family was like legit, like they 0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:40.920 are so hardcore standing for you guys. Yeah they are. 0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:46.600 They are. Um They're lovely and scary, which is how 0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:53.160 all relationships should be. UM there, Yeah, it's really it's definitely. UM. 0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:56.120 What's the name of the show timeless? Timeless is uh 0:02:56.200 --> 0:02:57.960 because I think, you know, I'm one of those people 0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:00.160 where you probably like, you know, it's weird to talk 0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:02.480 about my own career like this, but you've like seen 0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:05.160 in random places and things, and I've I've worked pretty 0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:09.200 regularly since like oh three or something like that. UM 0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:11.960 in the TV game and and so I think and 0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:13.840 so not. Like I was telling Iffy and tell both 0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:16.200 of you guys beforehand, it was like, okay, like usually 0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:18.680 I can tell my Sonny in Philadelphia crowd, I can 0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:21.920 tell like better better there's better off to mostly better 0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:26.880 off Ted Sunny in Philadelphia, the People's UM and Timeless 0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:31.360 people's only Black people know me from People's UM sunny 0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:34.320 in Philadelphia is usually jock white dudes and and Iffy. 0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:44.480 Look I was, I was right. I love I love that. 0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:47.560 That was my my episode. Um, Charlie Day, who I 0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:49.760 met because I did a show called Louis Uh the 0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:53.600 first Louis not the not the Bad Louis h Yeah 0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:58.520 yeah Louis Guzman. Yeah y um, so that's how we met. 0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:03.800 But yeah, mostly now it's now it's Um, it's timeless 0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:08.040 because because because it's family, it's a family show, do 0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:09.800 you know what I mean? Which I didn't really even 0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:12.120 realize in my head. Um, but now it will be 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:16.200 like whole white families being like, is it you rufus? 0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:20.120 You know what I mean? I'm like, yeah, it's really 0:04:20.120 --> 0:04:24.040 it's really awkward. Luckily I'm bringing Rufus back. I'm ringing 0:04:24.120 --> 0:04:27.839 rufe is bad. We've been starting our podcast by asking 0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:30.880 people what they're geeking out about. Um, Malcolm, can you 0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:33.599 tell us what you're geeking out about? What am I 0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:37.320 seeking out about? Um? I'm I'm really into watching I'm 0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:39.960 a TV guy. So I've been watching Black Summer and 0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:46.159 Barry Um Bill Hayter. It's just very funny and weird. UM, 0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:49.719 and my new My new nerd hobby is, uh, these 0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:52.479 like collectible figures and things like that and like one 0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:55.239 sixth and all these things. So I got a couple 0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:58.760 like I got Planet Hulk Ragnarock one and it's pretty big. 0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:02.680 And I have um Infinity Gauntlet and Red Hood and 0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:05.800 my boy made me some a couple of cows, some 0:05:05.880 --> 0:05:08.760 Batman cow. So that's my new thing, is like putting 0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:11.520 grown up toys in my office. Like my office is 0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:14.720 just it's just like there's papers and a credenza. Because 0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:17.159 I'm an adult man. I just wanted to own something 0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:20.880 that that had that many syllables, uh and and just 0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:25.359 really stuff like that. And comics, just random comics there. Yeah. 0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:28.040 I it's funny you said office because I had them 0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:29.600 in my room for a little bit. I'm like, nah, 0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:31.719 I can't look at you when I'm trying to do 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:38.840 the deed. Yeah, I can't. Punisher, Punisher just looking at me. 0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:45.440 We're making eye contact. How you're thinking about? Yeah, John Burnthal, 0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:51.160 the thing that I'm peaking out about. We just had 0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:54.039 the met gala. I love that some people didn't know 0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:57.039 what camp was because that was the theme. I thought 0:05:57.040 --> 0:05:59.239 that was really it was really weird. To see people 0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:02.920 just dress really nicely. Yeah, Like I was like, well 0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:06.440 that's do you give me your tickets? Okay, you don't 0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:10.000 deserve to be there. It's funny too, because I've always 0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:13.039 like gauge different levels of career where I'm like, oh, yeah, 0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:14.719 I just want to be in like a movie, and 0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:15.960 I was or I just want to be in and 0:06:16.040 --> 0:06:18.080 it's like I want to be invited to that. How 0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:19.919 do you get like, wow, those people are at a 0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:22.920 different level. Those are a different level. I realized I'm 0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:28.160 not a met Gala dude. Just I mean, it might happen. 0:06:28.279 --> 0:06:30.640 I just I don't see it. Like I bought jeans 0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:33.160 the other day. That was a big deal. Look at 0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:35.839 these blue jeans or you could do that Chadwick flex 0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:38.640 of like thanks for the invite at a blast, but 0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:41.800 I'm on setly. I think Rihanna did that too. She 0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:46.960 was working. Where is she? That's like I'm on set. Yeah, 0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:49.719 Michael B. Jordan's showed up. You know, he looked good. 0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:52.880 Like I always find it interesting when guys find the 0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:56.919 best way to play it safe. Yeah, it's like like 0:06:56.920 --> 0:07:00.440 there's something on here, there's someone that's text that's like 0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:02.400 when I know when when I'm gonna be ready, When 0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:04.640 I'm ready, I'm gonna turn out. I know I'm not ready, 0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:07.800 only because I would have showed up dressed as Yogi Bear. 0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:11.920 I did not get what camp was about, and I'm like, okay, 0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:14.000 I don't see what this has to do. Have a 0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:17.040 little Yeah. I think that would have been funny if 0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:22.160 like a camp, Yeah, you would have had a little 0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:25.960 boy scout vest dress boy from up Yeah, like like 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:28.840 everyone would have been like, you know, he missed the mark, 0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:31.000 but he he nailed it. I would love it if 0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:33.280 you went as a girl scout and just like handed 0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:35.880 out someone that would see that, see, that's why you're 0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:38.000 too good at this, because that would actually be on board. 0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:39.760 That would be that would be yeah, that would go 0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:42.960 what the kids called viral. So the camp is a 0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:47.560 drag queen thing. No, okay, I just was going based 0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:50.840 off Ana it is. It is heavy. I don't know 0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:52.880 who would you say create a camp. I feel like 0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:55.560 it's an aesthetic that definitely goes back to like inspired 0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:59.720 by drag queens for sure. Yeah yeah, And I think, um, 0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:02.280 but it's just like over the top, this acceptance of 0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:05.520 like I think they're trying to go against traditional art 0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:10.800 by being like completely over the top. It's almost like 0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:14.560 making fun of yourself. Okay, there's a show a great 0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:18.520 John Waters. Somebody like included a quote about what it was. Yeah, 0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:21.400 there's a there's a Simpsons episode where John Waters guest 0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:25.880 stars and any and they're like, camp is like ridiculously 0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:30.480 ludicrous or ludicously Yeah, ridiculous or or something to that effect. 0:08:31.600 --> 0:08:33.480 But it's always it's always like a sort of tongue 0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:39.199 and cheek winking, another extravagant sort of thing. Oh and 0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:41.520 then I would have had to just show up naked, 0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:44.440 like I don't know how tongue in cheek that is. 0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:52.080 There are some cheeks involved. Um, so the hallmark of 0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:57.920 camp is the spirit of extravagance. Oh yeah, we will 0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:04.360 bleep you, okay, dope are uh And you know, the 0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:08.600 thing that I obviously was seeking out about was Spider 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:11.480 Man Far from Home. I wanted to say homecoming. H 0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:14.560 And it's so funny because it's such a good trailer, 0:09:15.240 --> 0:09:18.199 and you know, like, I'm gonna just go out with 0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:20.640 the theory that I think isn't even that much of 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:26.079 a theory is m masterials bamboozling everybody obviously he's one 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:29.200 of you. You're gonna show me a Spider Man trailer 0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:32.680 where one of his most prolific villains is an ally 0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:35.480 and they're fighting this no name elemental beast like you 0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:40.679 it Mysterial has bamboozled him and Nick Fury and into 0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:43.199 thinking there's a multiverse, and then the post credit scene 0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:45.520 is going to be a real multiverse, Like it's gonna 0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:48.120 be like, oh, I guess it doesn't exist post credit 0:09:48.440 --> 0:09:50.559 there's a multiverse. I could definitely see that. I think 0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:53.319 they're definitely setting up that Mysterious like his whole thing 0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:55.200 is he's an illusionist, do you know what I mean? 0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:57.880 So like he's clearly just like faking good. He's he's 0:09:57.920 --> 0:10:00.559 done this and they're gonna turn over and veil himself 0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:03.320 as a villain. I think they said that that. I 0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:05.160 think that fight is actually from a cover of one 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:09.160 of the Spiderman magazines of Mysterial versus the Water Monster 0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:12.000 or Water Guy or something like that from back in 0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:16.040 a day, So it's like a direct callback. Yeah. Um, 0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:18.079 but yeah, I think it's gonna be a whole thing. 0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:22.800 And I just I'm still young enough in watching these 0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:25.600 universes that I'm amazed that we've gotten to the point 0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:30.120 where seeing the sort of eight spider leg Spider Man 0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:34.040 suit like that, like that is a commonplace thing. You 0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:35.959 don't even think about there, Like here's a couple of 0:10:35.960 --> 0:10:38.280 seconds of that suit. You remember it, right, boom boom, 0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:40.400 and we're in not de Noir. When you see him 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:45.559 in the old Black Yeah, it's gonna be spidy porn. 0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:47.520 That's That's what it seems like. They're just going over 0:10:47.559 --> 0:10:50.079 the top. They're like Mary Jane already knows, let's go 0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:53.200 into it. Yeah, the fact that they're able to put 0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:57.480 that many suits into one movie, Like you have three 0:10:57.679 --> 0:11:01.360 different Spider Man suits in one movie, at least just 0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:03.240 from the trailer alone, you know what I mean. And 0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:05.880 it's the most advanced suits they got, you know, at 0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:07.520 least two out of three of them, you know. And 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:10.040 I think jumping off into the Spider Verse coming off 0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:12.560 of that, where like you could literally see each one 0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:15.079 of those characters having them. Yeah, you know what I mean. 0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:18.040 I think that they are. Also it's like if you 0:11:18.120 --> 0:11:23.079 talk in multiverse, I'm just gonna say, I think we 0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:26.760 might see Miles. I think we might see for sure, 0:11:26.880 --> 0:11:30.079 we're talking multi versus already and they're said, They're said, 0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:32.760 are you totally I think so? I mean you got 0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:34.959 the Prowler in the in the cartoon. Plus you had 0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:37.680 Donald Glover as the Prowler in the last Spider Man one, 0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:40.000 So I mean they're they're setting up for his identity 0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:43.520 to be a little bit on a cinema it all in. Yeah, 0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:47.240 and especially with that multiverse from Avengers, like they said 0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:49.880 the Vengers in games set up of multiverse, you know 0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:51.680 what I mean. And the fact when they when I 0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:53.640 heard it in Spider Man, I was like, oh, like 0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:56.640 we might really do this, Like you might really start 0:11:56.640 --> 0:11:59.559 getting these newer versions of the comics like after a 0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:04.280 new fifth too and stuff like that. Yeah, okay, I'm ready. Yeah, 0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:09.920 but today we're talking about Street Sharks. About sharks. That's 0:12:09.960 --> 0:12:13.800 the second time I've done that transition, you know, And 0:12:13.800 --> 0:12:17.079 and I'm gonna just be straight up off rip. Street 0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:22.000 Sharks I liked better than Ninja Turtles. Are you I'm 0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:25.480 a California kids. Are you're talking about a blading group 0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:31.600 of you know, like because because like they are I 0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:39.000 will say half Canadian, but like you know, Ninja Turms 0:12:39.160 --> 0:12:42.559 was so New York heavy that like having the Street Sharks, 0:12:42.679 --> 0:12:45.240 and it had a lot of like, you know, l 0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:47.959 a aesthetics because you know, you had the Blades. They 0:12:48.040 --> 0:12:53.520 liked burgers, not pizza. You're you're a rocket power kid, 0:12:53.800 --> 0:12:57.280 you remember, Yeah, So I was I'm in it. I 0:12:57.320 --> 0:12:59.920 was like, let's go. I had the Street Sharks and 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:02.240 then they brought in the Killer Whale, which was a 0:13:02.280 --> 0:13:05.640 black guy, and I was like, yes, let's go. You're 0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:08.360 making this formul love that that has been your esthetic 0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:10.560 now for like the rest of your life. It was 0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:17.120 just like a buffed out dude tongue exactly. Wow. Okay, 0:13:17.200 --> 0:13:21.480 So Street Sharks is an American Canadian animated series about 0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:25.160 the adventures of crime fighting half man half sharks. I 0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:27.959 would say they're arguably most sharks, the sharks that are 0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:30.200 out of the water. Oh yeah, but actually I just 0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:32.080 pause you one more time before you read the rest 0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:35.280 of him. I have revisited it since I was a kid, 0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:37.920 and this is definitely a kid if he loved this. 0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:42.240 And now, to for lack of a better phrase and 0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:44.719 actually the best pun, this is a show that has 0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:47.240 jumped the sharks from the beginning. I was waiting to 0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:54.079 say that I wanted it so bad, Like from the beginning, 0:13:54.120 --> 0:13:57.160 built this in. I built the whole materials around this 0:13:57.200 --> 0:13:59.840 one joke. I can't do the jomp no more. Malcolm, 0:13:59.840 --> 0:14:01.800 when you when you said that you were up for 0:14:01.880 --> 0:14:04.760 Street Sharks, why did this pop into your head? Because 0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:08.960 I love eighties and nineties cartoons. So I love battle Cats, 0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:13.440 I love what is it? Uh? I love battle Toads 0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:15.560 or what was it was boom Cats or whatever the 0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:18.120 hell those things were. I can't remember. There was like 0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:22.560 the Mecca, like the Mecca Ninja Cats. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:26.960 it was all those like weird things X Men, Mike, Yeah, 0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:29.760 biker mice from Mars. I love that show. That was 0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:33.200 weird boy. Yeah, I just love these weird I thought 0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:38.040 the animation was all weird and fun and like, I 0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:42.200 feel like those shows either went super dark or rewatching 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:47.480 Street Sharks went super environmental, like like the big thing 0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:53.320 Free Willy, all of you stop polluting the ocean coming out. Yeah. Yeah, 0:14:53.360 --> 0:14:55.880 there's a whole thing about New Captain Planet. Yeah, there's 0:14:55.880 --> 0:15:00.480 a whole nuclear weapons arc. Slowly going to get that 0:15:00.520 --> 0:15:04.360 into the kid's head. Yeah, it's talking about the Cold War. Yeah, 0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:06.960 it's like really weird, But I love Street Sharks because 0:15:06.960 --> 0:15:09.480 I don't know, I loved eighties and nineties and not 0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:14.960 ones from the nineties. I just loved how preposterous these cartoons. 0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:17.720 Like I just feel like, I feel like SpongeBob is 0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:21.400 like relatively normal as a cartoon. It's like undersea creatures. 0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:24.000 They were giving them names and faces, like it's just 0:15:24.120 --> 0:15:28.320 a starfish. But like all of Street Sharks is about 0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:33.000 these super cool nineties X game kids who turned in 0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:38.560 the Shark Outlaws sharks like who keep getting framed, which 0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:42.760 which is apparently amazingly easy to frame a bunch of 0:15:42.760 --> 0:15:45.160 anthropomorphic sharks, because I feel like once you see an 0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:48.400 anthropomorphic shark and something happens, you could just be like 0:15:48.440 --> 0:15:51.920 the sharks didn't Like probably sharks probably did that. Yeah, 0:15:53.160 --> 0:15:56.640 it's oh my gosh, But I feel like it's also 0:15:57.040 --> 0:15:59.160 I really wanted to revisit it because I feel like 0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:01.960 it's the joke that you have, Like everyone kind of 0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:04.920 knows Street Sharks, but like, I don't know that you 0:16:04.920 --> 0:16:07.360 could And I think I can come close now, but 0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:13.200 I dare you to name all four Street Sharks. Well, 0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:19.440 I cheated, I don't go off the top top. Alright, 0:16:19.520 --> 0:16:24.480 I'm moving the phone away Ripster. There's ripster whose real 0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:28.080 name is I don't know, I don't know. It's really 0:16:29.560 --> 0:16:34.920 John okay John Bolton. Was there one called bite? No? No, 0:16:35.040 --> 0:16:40.480 okay no, but there is a one word now, uh blade? 0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:53.000 All right, let's just go. There's a jab right, there's 0:16:53.040 --> 0:17:06.840 a ripster. There's uh not tsunami, h not Shamo. Just 0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:08.879 just think of where we're at in this show. What 0:17:09.280 --> 0:17:14.080 would they call Shamo? It was god damn, it was 0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:19.320 hold on, hold on its ripster, ripster, jab streets at 0:17:19.400 --> 0:17:24.280 k blades and then Killer Camu or something like that 0:17:24.320 --> 0:17:27.840 was his first name, Big big, what is it big 0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:34.000 slam big slam mood was not Shamo slam Oo. Yeah, 0:17:34.640 --> 0:17:37.520 oh man, Yeah no that was that was that was crazy. Yeah, 0:17:37.560 --> 0:17:42.119 it's it's basically uh. It follows the university professor named 0:17:42.200 --> 0:17:47.359 Dr Robert Bolton and his partner Dr Luther Paradigm. Which 0:17:47.480 --> 0:17:50.720 is funny in all these shows, even in Mega Man, 0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:54.040 it always seems like every scientist has a counterpart who's 0:17:54.119 --> 0:17:58.199 just bad that you never caught on up until the 0:17:58.240 --> 0:18:00.400 moment you try to do the big here a bit. 0:18:00.600 --> 0:18:03.280 It's true. There's always like one good scientists, one diet 0:18:03.280 --> 0:18:06.679 scientists and they're best friends for yeah, uh you know 0:18:07.000 --> 0:18:11.000 it's but they create a machine known as the gene Slammer. 0:18:12.200 --> 0:18:16.280 None of the scientists. Yeah. So so this this show 0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:18.840 was an embodiment of that moment in the early odds 0:18:18.920 --> 0:18:21.920 when everything had to be extreme. You had Extreme Dorito's 0:18:22.080 --> 0:18:26.359 Extreme Clean deodorant. This is this is like the most 0:18:26.480 --> 0:18:28.760 nineties show. And that's why I said it really took 0:18:28.800 --> 0:18:31.680 all of the anthropomorphic animals shows and they're like, we're 0:18:31.680 --> 0:18:36.320 gonna jump the shot literally. Uh but then um, you know, 0:18:36.600 --> 0:18:39.760 uh he he It was hybrid. He was doing a 0:18:39.840 --> 0:18:44.960 hybrid experiment, turning aquatic animals into like anthropomorphic hybrids, combining 0:18:45.000 --> 0:18:49.359 their DNAs with humans. And uh, obviously Robert Bolton needed 0:18:49.400 --> 0:18:52.560 to stop. Yeah, he had to stop Paradigm from using 0:18:52.560 --> 0:18:55.560 the machine for personal power. I don't know what other 0:18:55.680 --> 0:18:59.720 reason you'd use the machine. Um and then uh then 0:18:59.720 --> 0:19:02.680 both and has turned into a monster and he escapes 0:19:02.960 --> 0:19:07.919 and Paradigm gives Bolton's four sons, John, Bobby and Coupe 0:19:08.000 --> 0:19:12.080 and Clint the likenesses of four different sharks, and when 0:19:12.160 --> 0:19:16.080 Dr Paradigm captures their friend Bends, the resulting street sharks 0:19:16.119 --> 0:19:20.720 rescue him and combined Paradigm with the Piranhadin. Yes, uh 0:19:20.880 --> 0:19:26.720 Dr Parana, Yeah, Parana paranoid by other characters, and and 0:19:27.400 --> 0:19:30.879 and so uh Dr Paradigm. It creates a variety of 0:19:30.920 --> 0:19:35.600 monsters to destroy the Street Sharks while trying to persuade 0:19:35.640 --> 0:19:38.720 the inhabitants of their native metropolis of Fission City to 0:19:38.840 --> 0:19:43.080 imprison them. And uh so then a few uh ended 0:19:43.160 --> 0:19:46.160 up becoming friends with the Street Sharks, which we got 0:19:46.200 --> 0:19:59.840 our brother who ended up becoming moby Lick Yeah rock 0:20:00.200 --> 0:20:03.960 in Manta man Um. And then eventually as it got 0:20:04.040 --> 0:20:06.400 later into the series, we got the Dino Vengers. From 0:20:06.400 --> 0:20:10.720 that series, it was yeah, the extreme Dinosaurs, oh man, 0:20:10.800 --> 0:20:12.600 And I remember that one because that one they were 0:20:12.720 --> 0:20:16.880 in a they're trying to prevent uh the other dinosaurs 0:20:16.960 --> 0:20:23.600 from creating global warming. Yeah, the Raptors bad rap. So 0:20:23.720 --> 0:20:28.520 they ran from to seven and the creators were David 0:20:28.520 --> 0:20:32.440 Siegel and Joe Galiani. I thought there was a female creator, 0:20:33.880 --> 0:20:38.919 you know, and she wasn't credited. Um, but yeah, so 0:20:38.920 --> 0:20:41.520 what I guess what was your favorite? What was the 0:20:41.520 --> 0:20:45.359 shark that you gravitated towards the most? My favorite shark, 0:20:45.840 --> 0:20:48.280 even though I can never remember his name was Killer. 0:20:48.600 --> 0:20:52.199 I like blades. I like trees because just because he 0:20:52.240 --> 0:20:54.439 had rollerblades and they would sometimes not be there and 0:20:54.480 --> 0:20:58.359 then sometimes automatically be there, um, which is like one 0:20:58.359 --> 0:21:01.160 of those weird cartoon conventions were only like they would 0:21:01.160 --> 0:21:03.199 just skip out, like someone didn't pay the money that 0:21:03.280 --> 0:21:06.760 day for like those couple of frames. Um. But yeah, 0:21:06.800 --> 0:21:08.800 I liked him just because he was he was rollerblading. 0:21:09.600 --> 0:21:12.560 That was literally it. But then but then it was weird. 0:21:12.800 --> 0:21:15.600 Is they clearly got so I was looking up the 0:21:15.600 --> 0:21:17.719 first season, it's like three episodes or something like that, 0:21:18.760 --> 0:21:20.680 and in the second season they like extend. But what's 0:21:20.680 --> 0:21:23.679 great is they clearly got a memo because two big 0:21:23.720 --> 0:21:28.080 things change, which is that um, the opening song changed, 0:21:28.119 --> 0:21:31.400 because the opening song used to sound like Mr. Sandman 0:21:31.560 --> 0:21:34.120 or some old sort of nineteen fifties before people had rights, 0:21:34.720 --> 0:21:42.680 so it was like it was like they fight, they fight, um, 0:21:42.720 --> 0:21:44.600 and then they just sort of updated it until it 0:21:44.680 --> 0:21:47.840 was like more sort of like a California, you know, 0:21:47.920 --> 0:21:54.399 surf tempo song. Um. And also Ripster suddenly had powers, 0:21:54.440 --> 0:21:59.560 like he suddenly had like tele telekinetic or sort of 0:21:59.600 --> 0:22:02.760 psych powers that only came into play for I think 0:22:02.880 --> 0:22:06.439 literally one episode, like I think they gave it to 0:22:06.520 --> 0:22:08.440 him and then forgotten was like, how did they get 0:22:08.480 --> 0:22:14.840 that power? Would we give that shark giant sharks? Yeah, 0:22:14.880 --> 0:22:18.360 they don't need to tell the future. Yeah, no, that 0:22:18.359 --> 0:22:22.000 that was the fun thing about it. My favorites were 0:22:22.040 --> 0:22:27.040 both jab and um Ripster and those were because those 0:22:27.040 --> 0:22:31.200 were the darker. Those were the darker, which, by the way, 0:22:31.440 --> 0:22:34.199 that definitely was an initiative thing, like they definitely were like, 0:22:34.280 --> 0:22:36.920 let's create some dark ones because I've never seen sharks. 0:22:37.800 --> 0:22:42.080 If He color that was the color scheme for these sharks, 0:22:42.200 --> 0:22:47.320 was like, oh if He and uh Steph Curry those 0:22:47.320 --> 0:22:49.959 those were the two sharks. But I was here for it. 0:22:50.119 --> 0:22:52.919 And then they then they brought my man's moby licking. 0:22:53.080 --> 0:22:55.480 I was very happy. Well, and then they had the 0:22:55.840 --> 0:22:59.760 black chick scientist at the beginning Lena, which was cool. Well, 0:22:59.760 --> 0:23:01.480 this is something, but I think her brother gets on 0:23:01.560 --> 0:23:04.840 drugs or something, you know, I bet they were trying 0:23:04.880 --> 0:23:08.280 to get in one of those Saturday storylines, you know, 0:23:08.520 --> 0:23:11.040 like the Hey, what I found these in your bedroom? 0:23:11.119 --> 0:23:13.520 I just wanted to like one of those ps is 0:23:13.560 --> 0:23:16.920 that they did happened Like her brother Malik is taking 0:23:16.960 --> 0:23:21.120 like drug like muscle enhancing pills. Talk to um also 0:23:21.160 --> 0:23:25.280 if he inspired and then and then uh yeah, I 0:23:25.280 --> 0:23:27.560 think they find out and then it's like a whole thing. 0:23:27.680 --> 0:23:31.199 But yeah, it's very weird. They super fleshed out the 0:23:31.200 --> 0:23:33.760 personalities of each of these characters, which I want to 0:23:33.760 --> 0:23:35.720 get into, but we have to take a quick break, 0:23:35.920 --> 0:23:38.960 not pop back into Street Sharks right after this Street 0:23:39.000 --> 0:23:47.920 Sharks and we're back. We're still here, joined by Malcolm So. 0:23:48.080 --> 0:23:52.760 The first one up of the Street Sharks Ripster John Bolton. 0:23:52.800 --> 0:23:55.120 I love that they have like regular names, regular names. 0:23:55.160 --> 0:23:58.560 And what's great is they suddenly adapt their new names, 0:23:58.640 --> 0:24:01.840 like while they're chilling like um Ben, suddenly he's like, man, 0:24:01.880 --> 0:24:03.399 you really ripped it. You're a bit of a ripster. 0:24:03.480 --> 0:24:06.920 He's like, yeah, ripster. I like that. Yeah. Yeah, that 0:24:07.160 --> 0:24:10.560
