I recently wrote 0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:10.920 an entry for Polygon's Best Comics of the Year so far. 0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:14.360 Oh and it was for a self published comic by 0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:17.720 a graphic novelist and cartoonist who I love called Olivia Stevens. 0:01:18.200 --> 0:01:20.360 And she's most well known. She did a really cute 0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:24.600 younger reader's book called Artie and the Moonwarf. But she 0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:29.800 has published on gum Road and it on yeah, basically 0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:32.399 online you can find it and it's She's published a 0:01:32.400 --> 0:01:35.800 book that is called Darlin and her other names and 0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:41.520 it's like a black and white adult horror western romance 0:01:41.600 --> 0:01:47.760 werewolf comic, and it is just like the coolest, most atmospheric, beautiful, 0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:49.680 Like it's eighty eight pages long, but you will read 0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:52.200 it really quickly and then immediately read it again. And 0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:54.240 that that really blew me away. I thought that was 0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:59.800 really great. I'm also reading a really scary novel cool 0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:03.000 but a God in It's Yeah, which I love. I 0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:05.040 love a scary but I called A God in the 0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:09.680 Shed by JF. Debou and it is like really scary. 0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:13.440 It's kind of like a cosmic horror meets true detective 0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:16.560 about like a small town that's next to a forest 0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:20.080 where there's been all these serial killings, but a young 0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:23.679 girl kind of starts to realize that it's not necessarily 0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:25.440 what it looks like, and there's might be like this 0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:29.200 kind of elder god esque monster in their mist. And 0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:31.840 that's really I've really been enjoying that. I love a 0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:34.640 good I love a good cosmic horror story, especially if 0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:38.320 it's like really scary and kind of grim, And this 0:02:38.440 --> 0:02:41.200 is that good small town nowari horror. So those two 0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:42.960 have been big on my list. 0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:45.919 Did you have any scary woods. 0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:46.640 You know what. 0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:48.359 Growing up, I. 0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:52.399 Lived very much in the city, but there was a 0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:54.760 forest that you could go to called Epping Forest. I 0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:57.200 have to say I always found it quite magical. You 0:02:57.240 --> 0:02:59.239 had to go quite it's what felt like quite far, 0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:03.120 but I could. I did often think about like getting 0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:06.280 lost in the woods being quite a scary experience. What 0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:08.000 about you, did you have a scary wood near you? 0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:13.400 I also lived a very urban and suburban on the 0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:17.760 edges of urban existence, but I had a couple of 0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:22.560 sort of nature areas that were quasi magical, or at 0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:26.519 least places where in the in the Steven Spielberg sense 0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:28.119 of things, like kids could be kids. 0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:29.400 Yeah, kidshit. 0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:33.360 One was so there was a there was a like 0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:38.760 a three acre four acre abandoned lot next to creepy 0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:42.680 next to the middle school called all the Kids for 0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:44.920 as long as anybody can remember, called the cornfields. 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:46.400 There was like crash cars there. 0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:49.480 There was like some kids over the course of like 0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:53.960 two months built like a BMX track, like just shovels 0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:56.320 and stuff, and it was totally like wooded over.

We would go there, especially at 0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:31.960 night and when it was raining and like quote unquote 0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:35.080 explore the cornfields with like flashlights, like I said. 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:37.240 Yeah, yeah, we used to do that, but it was 0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:39.600 just like a normal It was a park called clissl Park, 0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:41.920 which was right in the middle of the neighborhood where 0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:44.560 I lived, like Stone Newington. It was like opposite my school. 0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:46.159 But we would go there at night and it would 0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:48.760 be like terrifying. Our parents would always be like, don't 0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:50.920 go and hang out there at night, and we'd be like, yeah, 0:04:50.960 --> 0:04:53.280 of course, We're just gonna hang out our friend's house 0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:55.520 and tell one friend just hanging somewhere, and one friend 0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:57.520 you're hanging somewhere, and then you end up well just 0:04:57.600 --> 0:05:00.000 meeting in the park and like nothing nefarious ever happened, 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:02.960 but the threat of it was definitely always there in 0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:04.159 the in the dark woods. 0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:08.159 And then I grew up across the street from a sump. 0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:09.800 Do you know what a sump is? I do not 0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:13.760 know what a sump is a sump. First of all, 0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:16.960 the word sump was a word that I just thought. 0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:17.840 Was a universal word. 0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:21.039 I didn't realize that it's maybe a made up word, 0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:25.760 or it's certainly maybe maybe a regional word. Sump is 0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:30.839 a large basin in which collects like rain water and stuff, 0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:33.719 but like huge, like the size of like two football fields. 0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:37.160 They have these all around Long Island. 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:39.320 I guess to you know, collect water that I guess 0:05:39.400 --> 0:05:42.120 then gets one would hope filtered. 0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:43.600 Somehow to a drinking water spot. 0:05:44.120 --> 0:05:45.880 I lived right across the street from this, and we 0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:49.640 would sneak into it pretty regularly when we were kids 0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:54.400 and like build a little forts and catch frogs and 0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:59.960 like set very very controlled fires and stuff.

I've been rewatching Deadwood? 0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:02.120 So after a secret and I was like, I need 0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:05.360 great dialogue. I need you, like I need some of 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:08.200 the best TV writing to ever that's ever happened. 0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:09.200 So I uh. 0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:13.640 I burned through all three seasons of Deadwood plus the 0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:19.200 movie like in such days recently, and then just because 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:23.000 I couldn't get enough, I went I've been I have 0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:27.920 a subscription to newspaper dot com, which is an archive 0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:31.000 of newspapers from all around the world that goes back 0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:35.720 to like the the early eighteenth century. Like we can 0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:40.640 find like broadsheets from like seventeen sixty in there, and 0:07:41.080 --> 0:07:45.760 so I just like started reading newspapers from uh, you know, 0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:49.480 the late nineteenth century that mentioned like characters from Deadwood, 0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:52.960 and I found some really really cool ones, Like it's 0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:57.520 the Philadelphia Times April seventh, eighteen ninety five, and it 0:07:57.560 --> 0:08:00.800 has a very very long and well written feature about 0:08:00.960 --> 0:08:04.240 called the Deadwood Coach, and it's all about like the 0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:07.760 history of this stagecoach which was now coming to an 0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:11.679 end over in Deadwood that was used to take gold 0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:16.880 which was being mined on illegally mined on indigenous land 0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:21.120 at the time, and taken out to you know, places 0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:25.720 in the country quote unquote the actual nation of America 0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:27.920 where it could then be you know, transferred to a 0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:30.560 bank or whatever. And this thing ran for fifteen years 0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:33.960 or whatever, you know, under threat of various road agents 0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:36.280 and raiders and. 0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:36.720 What have you. 0:08:37.200 --> 0:08:40.760 Very interesting article. So I did that, and let's see 0:08:40.800 --> 0:08:41.440 what am I reading. 0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:42.720 I am reading. 0:08:42.760 --> 0:08:47.120 I'm still reading The Revolutionary Spring and History of the 0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:50.320 Revolutions of eighteen forty eight, like Justopher Clark, very good, 0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:57.679 super super interesting, and kind of it kind of steals 0:08:57.760 --> 0:09:01.000 the hope from you, Rosie, because it's like all the 0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:05.720 shit that we're concerned about right now. Are these exact 0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:10.000 same issues minus like climate change that people were concerned 0:09:10.000 --> 0:09:14.840 about in eighteen thirty, eighteen thirty five, eighteen forty eight, 0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:21.400 in the various German principalities, and it's all throughout Europe. 0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:24.480 And it's that part of it makes you a fuck 0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:26.439 I guess we're fucked, Like we're just trapped in this 0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:28.680 matrix loop and we're never going to be able to 0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:31.760 get out of it. But it's very interesting and it's 0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:35.840 and it's it's illuminated. It's been illuminating to see like 0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:41.280 the early evolution of some of the political terminology that 0:09:41.640 --> 0:09:44.080 is so readily today, Like what did liberalism mean in 0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:44.880 eighteen thirty eight? 0:09:44.920 --> 0:09:46.080 What did conservatism mean? 0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:51.839 And then I've been reading this Elmore Leonard novel Freakydky, 0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:55.240 just from oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. We're about a 0:09:55.960 --> 0:10:01.719 bomb plot run by kind of these aging hippies. It's 0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:03.679 set in like the eighties, so it's like hippies we 0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:07.959 are now in their thirties and maybe they've messed around 0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:12.120 with some of the kind of like alt leftist Weatherman's 0:10:12.160 --> 0:10:15.680 style politics of the sixties and now they're turning that 0:10:16.200 --> 0:10:19.440 into how can we get money by building a bomb 0:10:19.679 --> 0:10:22.000 or pretending to build a bomb, or threatening someone in 0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:24.400 the bomb. It's you know, if you like Elma Leonard, 0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:28.960 and you should, it's just it's a wonderful. 0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:31.480 Right, yeah. Oh you know what you actually inspired me 0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:34.000 was there's a book that I've read it a while back, 0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:36.120 but I always recommend it to people. We haven't spoken 0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:38.200 it about on here, and it's very relevant right now 0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:40.040 with the strikes and everything. There's a really great book 0:10:40.080 --> 0:10:43.240 written by Kim Kelly, who's a brilliant music journalist and 0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:45.880 labor journalist, called Fight Like Hell, and it's like an 0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:50.080 untold history of American labor organization and it's just so 0:10:50.320 --> 0:10:53.120 good and it gives you so much insight into again, 0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:56.880 how a lot of the stuff that we're fighting for 0:10:56.920 --> 0:10:58.960 has always been fought for. But it has an inspiring 0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:01.600 bank because it's like, look what it's achieved. Like if 0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:04.640 we organize, look what can be achieved. So I've been 0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:06.640 really thinking about that a lot, and I think a 0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:08.320 lot of people who are on strike at the moment, 0:11:08.400 --> 0:11:11.040 or who are supporting the strikes in the entertainment industry 0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:13.360 would do really well to read it because it's great, 0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:15.400 and it kind of reminds you that what we're fighting 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:18.640 for is what everyone's fighting for, just at like different levels, 0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:23.240 and people have actually achieved incredible stuff through organizing via labor. 0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:27.520 I should add quick strike update. The MPTP has reached 0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:29.960 out to the WGA and said let's talk this Friday. 0:11:29.960 --> 0:11:35.040 So the ninety day we'll be listening to this. The 0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:41.320 negotiations theoretically will have restarted in the now near one 0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:44.680 hundred day strike of the WGA against the AMPTP. 0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:49.520 Will be very interesting to see what happens there. And now, 0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:54.440 on a completely different page, Tyrannosaurus Greg asks, if you 0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:56.760 were going to be given the super Scroll treatment and 0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:59.679 could get powers and abilities from only four characters like 0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:02.960 our classic Super Squirrel cut, who would you pick. They 0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:05.880 can be from any fandom, not just comics, but one 0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:10.320 only one from each. Jason, this is a huge question. 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:12.240 What would you What would you do? 0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:15.400 Okay, I would do one. 0:12:17.679 --> 0:12:22.720 I would uh kitty pride phasing powers and walk through walls, 0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:25.040 that kind of stuff. It just is very efficient, a 0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:28.640 lot easier if you know, of course you could there 0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:33.040 are numerous illicit activities one could achieve with this, but 0:12:33.080 --> 0:12:36.480 I'm also, yeah, I'm not gonna do any of that. 0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:42.559 Then I would take oh gosh, let's keep it X Men. 0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:47.520 I think Jeene Gray's telekinesis. I'm in the process of moving, 0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:51.439 and the thing that's terrible about moving is like actually 0:12:51.480 --> 0:12:54.520 doing it. And I can't tell you how many times 0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:56.560 I've just been like, I wish I could just like 0:12:57.600 --> 0:13:01.120 imagine all my stuff in the other place and just 0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:08.880 make that immediately happen. Then I would do, uh, okay, 0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:15.480 hot take Doug Leman. Director Doug Leman, I think has 0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:24.640 pound for pound maybe the greatest IMDb in terms of quality. Okay, 0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:29.240 maybe in recent movie history. I don't let's just talk 0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:31.400 about his movies. I don't actually think he's made a 0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:36.199 bad movie. And with regards to that, I would then 0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:40.920 take the powers from his two thousand and eight film Jumper. 0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:43.599 Oh that is a good one, especially mixed with the 0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:44.959 Kitty Pride powers. 0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:49.760 Yeah, so Jumper is about it's kind of like Highlander 0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:55.600 meets X Men, where Hayden Christensen discovers that he has 0:13:55.640 --> 0:13:59.760 this power just just spontaneously teleport to anywhere in the 0:13:59.800 --> 0:14:02.760 world world. Uh, and I forget actually limited. I think 0:14:02.760 --> 0:14:04.720 he's got to see a picture of it, or yeah, you've. 0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:06.840 Got to have seen it at some point, but it 0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:09.040 can be a picture, it can be a postcard or 0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:11.040 something like that. And then he runs it. There's like 0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:12.920 a secret community of people who. 0:14:12.800 --> 0:14:15.960 Have like this is the Highlander. That's the Highlander aspect 0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:18.200 of it, where there's actually like these people and there's 0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:21.400 two different sects, like the Paladins and then the other 0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:24.760 ones who are trying to stop them, and then this 0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:28.840 like war of Jumpers has been going on for like centuries. Anyway, 0:14:29.720 --> 0:14:32.800 I've always been like, fuck, that's a cool that's a 0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:35.280 cool power to just be like, I'm gonna go to 0:14:35.400 --> 0:14:37.360 see it. I'm going to Paris, I'll be I'll be 0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:38.320 back in five minutes. 0:14:38.400 --> 0:14:40.960 I'm gonna delicious soft cheese. 0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:45.480 Yeah, I will return with some soft cheese, some wine, 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:50.080 and some salted meats. Okay, So and then you know what, 0:14:50.120 --> 0:14:52.120 I'm gonna go back. I'm gonna go back to the 0:14:52.520 --> 0:14:56.640 X Men once again, and I'm gonna go Doug Ramsey, ah, 0:14:58.040 --> 0:15:00.640 who can understand any language. 0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:02.160 Yeah, that's a really sick power. 0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:03.920 And I just feel like this isn't it like a 0:15:04.040 --> 0:15:09.080 cool like utilitarian power that you could have when you 0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:13.560 would just like under whether it's coding languages, sign language, 0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:18.440 a living island that is like speaking in very very 0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:22.480 low frequency murmurs, or any like human based language, you 0:15:22.480 --> 0:15:25.440 would understand it. I just feel like that's one of 0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:29.000 the coolest powers ever underutilized. I would add, yes, I 0:15:29.120 --> 0:15:32.360 agree for me in the in the I think I. 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:36.520 Mean, imagine like the the Wonder Woman Acquest, she's like 0:15:36.560 --> 0:15:41.040 a diplomat, Doug Ramsey would be like the ultimate diplomat 0:15:41.160 --> 0:15:44.080 or the ultimate spy. You could have an incredible Doug 0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:47.640 Ramsey story somebody pay me and Jason will Riott like 0:15:47.920 --> 0:15:49.760 we just paid it. Well, Doug Ramsey was gonna be 0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:52.400 on my list because ever since I was a kid, 0:15:52.760 --> 0:15:55.520 there were two things I always wanted. If I imagine 0:15:55.520 --> 0:15:58.080 like a genie was going to give me something, one 0:15:58.080 --> 0:15:59.800 of them one of them would be like one of 0:15:59.800 --> 0:16:01.840 my wishes would obviously be to wish for more wishes. 0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:04.920 That's so that's out. And then the two other wishes 0:16:04.920 --> 0:16:07.400 I would have that wouldn't break the genies rules was 0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:10.360 to learn to not be able to speak every language 0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:13.160 and understand every language and write every language, and then 0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:15.040 just to be able to be really good at skateboarding. 0:16:15.160 --> 0:16:18.040 I realized you could just teach yourself how to skateboard. 0:16:18.120 --> 0:16:20.880 I'm still not really good, but I can skateboard. Learning 0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:23.880 every language not as easy. So I will take that 0:16:24.360 --> 0:16:27.360 power okay as well, and then maybe just be with 0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:31.120 Doug Gramsy power. We're just gonna be globetrotting enjoy. Also, 0:16:31.360 --> 0:16:34.040 you you've get a good point because now you're now 0:16:34.080 --> 0:16:36.640 you're a jumper and you can speak every language. Yeah, 0:16:36.640 --> 0:16:39.600 you cause that's imperfect. You can just be living life. 0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:44.400 I'm going to take the green Lantern power of like 0:16:44.520 --> 0:16:47.200 having you know, what does that mean? Like in the 0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:49.360 super squirrel sense, Like would I need to wear the 0:16:49.440 --> 0:16:51.359 ring all the time? Would I just have the willpower? 0:16:51.440 --> 0:16:54.200 But I love the willpower. I think it is also underutilized, 0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:57.720 even though green Land is one of DC's biggest characters. 0:16:57.760 --> 0:16:59.960 I feel like everyone always just imagines like a girl 0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:03.800 or a giant fist. I could be imagining so much stuff, 0:17:03.800 --> 0:17:06.320 cool stuff. I just go around, imagine people are house, 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:10.159 Imagine myself a mansion, imagine a spaceship, go to space, 0:17:10.560 --> 0:17:13.040 imagine all my things being moved to my house, and 0:17:13.040 --> 0:17:15.719 like make a moving van and make like little moving 0:17:16.400 --> 0:17:19.359 Greenland and will power things to move things. I hate moving, 0:17:19.440 --> 0:17:21.760 So you really inspired me with that on. So yeah, 0:17:21.800 --> 0:17:24.920 Greenland and powers, Doug Ramsey powers. I'm still playing a 0:17:24.920 --> 0:17:27.800 lot of Diablo Force, so I'm just taking those necromancy powers. 0:17:29.560 --> 0:17:29.879 Hold on. 0:17:30.280 --> 0:17:32.680 So the necrovitive powers are very There are a lot 0:17:32.760 --> 0:17:36.600 of them, which specific Okay, Necroo, would. 0:17:36.440 --> 0:17:38.919 You take if I am taking? I want the power 0:17:39.359 --> 0:17:41.760 where if I kill people as I do on a 0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:44.320 regular basis, I can just raise them up and make 0:17:44.400 --> 0:17:48.359 them evil skeleton monsters, like if I'm a super scroll. 0:17:48.359 --> 0:17:50.480 That seems like it would be a useful power for me. 0:17:50.960 --> 0:17:52.479 So even though I wouldn't use it in my day 0:17:52.520 --> 0:17:54.840 to day life, that would be my one offensive power. 0:17:55.000 --> 0:17:57.679 Poor Doug Ramsey doesn't have very many offensive powers. Why 0:17:57.720 --> 0:17:59.280 I was often seen as one of the weakest New 0:17:59.320 --> 0:18:02.960 mumans uh and my last power I was also gonna. 0:18:02.960 --> 0:18:05.240 I was also thinking Jean Gray because obviously we're like 0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:08.679 extreme X Men stands. But you know what it's like, 0:18:09.840 --> 0:18:14.600 it's so annoying to be a telepath. If you look 0:18:14.600 --> 0:18:17.199 at the X Men cannon like people are always hearing 0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:20.000 people's voices. You're hearing too much, stressful stuff. 0:18:20.280 --> 0:18:23.119 So this is why I specifically only wanted the telekinesis. 0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:24.160 I just want to like stuff. 0:18:24.200 --> 0:18:26.080 You just want to I don't want to read minds. 0:18:26.119 --> 0:18:28.479 I don't want to read. Are your telekinesis that has 0:18:28.480 --> 0:18:30.120 a good power? You could also get it from Carrie 0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:33.480 or Matilda. You got so many telekinetic options. 0:18:33.520 --> 0:18:34.959 I don't quite well, I don't want to get it 0:18:34.960 --> 0:18:37.080 from Carrie, just because I feel like those are a 0:18:37.119 --> 0:18:38.960 little curse powers. 0:18:38.960 --> 0:18:43.600 Matilda she had the powerful telecanesis, but I would probably 0:18:44.480 --> 0:18:47.920 go for storms powers just because they're really cool I want. 0:18:48.080 --> 0:18:50.479 And also you could do a lot of good if 0:18:50.520 --> 0:18:53.879 you can like go around making it right, you goodself 0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:57.160 crime JS. Why isn't she doing that? Let's think bigger guys. 0:18:57.000 --> 0:18:57.720 Well, she lives. 0:18:57.760 --> 0:19:00.840 She's like thinking about colonizing the GLEX. You're not even 0:19:01.960 --> 0:19:05.600 She's like, she's like, I'm dumb my lakehouse on Mars. 0:19:06.760 --> 0:19:07.879 She's like, I'm overrat. 0:19:09.520 --> 0:19:12.200 Just quickly let me go through Doug Leeman's AMDB getting 0:19:12.200 --> 0:19:14.960 in I've never seen I don't know nineteen ninety six, Swingers, 0:19:14.960 --> 0:19:20.160 good movie, nineteen ninety nine, Go really good movie, Sarah movie, 0:19:20.400 --> 0:19:24.560 outrageously good movie. And I think for my money, one 0:19:24.600 --> 0:19:29.879 of the most accurate on drug scenes I've ever watched 0:19:29.960 --> 0:19:35.160 in any movie. Uh. Two thousand and two The Bourne Identity. Already, 0:19:35.520 --> 0:19:39.520 that's an incredible run. Swingers Go The Bourne Identity two 0:19:39.560 --> 0:19:42.399 thousand and five. Mister and Missus Smith, I mean we 0:19:42.480 --> 0:19:46.919 were just hot. Two thousand and eight Jumper underrated. I 0:19:47.000 --> 0:19:48.360 understand why it didn't do that well. 0:19:48.400 --> 0:19:49.160 Haynen Christiansen. 0:19:49.200 --> 0:19:53.400 Maybe not the not the box office. 0:19:53.880 --> 0:19:56.560 People definitely got like a cult following now. 0:19:56.680 --> 0:19:58.879 But I enjoyed it quite a bit. Fair Game, Uh, 0:19:59.400 --> 0:20:02.399 you know, not not my favorite. Okay, there's a miss 0:20:02.520 --> 0:20:08.719 twenty fourteen Edge of Tomorrow. Wow, Stone so classic. 0:20:08.880 --> 0:20:12.280 Somehow I'm still underrated even by how much people like it. 0:20:12.359 --> 0:20:16.320 Somehow it's still it's so good also. 0:20:16.160 --> 0:20:18.840 Then, okay, so that run from from ninety six to 0:20:18.840 --> 0:20:20.719 twenty fourteen is just epic. 0:20:20.840 --> 0:20:22.639 That is what I and that's one of my favorite 0:20:22.680 --> 0:20:25.159 things actually is like I remember this was always an 0:20:25.160 --> 0:20:27.240 old Twitter, in the old days when Twitter was like 0:20:27.240 --> 0:20:29.159 a pure place where people would just be like, what 0:20:29.280 --> 0:20:31.880 are like, what's this cool thing that you can quote 0:20:31.880 --> 0:20:33.879 tweet with a fact or something. One of them was 0:20:33.880 --> 0:20:36.800 always like which director has the best like three movie 0:20:36.920 --> 0:20:39.400 run where it's just like boom boom boom, and there 0:20:39.440 --> 0:20:41.280 is truly some great ones, So that Doug Leaman one 0:20:41.320 --> 0:20:41.920 is pretty great. 0:20:42.800 --> 0:20:46.840 It's it's very good. Swingers Go the Borne id Any 0:20:48.359 --> 0:20:53.120 also a collective run, very very eclectic. X Ray Vision 0:20:53.119 --> 0:20:53.680 will be back. 0:20:57.560 --> 0:21:00.560 Extremely dumb book bands are on the rise and we 0:21:00.640 --> 0:21:03.320 need to fight back. What can you do other than 0:21:03.359 --> 0:21:06.320 bake your librarian and elaborate cake and run for the 0:21:06.359 --> 0:21:09.639 school board.

Who doesn't love that? 0:21:21.200 --> 0:21:23.479 They bring me back to the good days when racist 0:21:23.600 --> 0:21:26.199 parents weren't for ending librarians jobs, or at least we 0:21:26.200 --> 0:21:28.760 didn't know about it. High tail it over to the 0:21:28.800 --> 0:21:31.640 Crooked dot com slash store to shop. 0:21:37.000 --> 0:21:40.040 And we're back next. Jacob asks, do you think it 0:21:40.080 --> 0:21:42.960 was a good idea for the MCU to leave so 0:21:43.040 --> 0:21:46.760 many stingers unresolved in Phase four? Unlike in Phases one 0:21:46.800 --> 0:21:49.760 to three where they created forward momentum, It feels like 0:21:49.800 --> 0:21:53.720 none of these Phase four singers have led to anything Yeah, interesting, 0:21:54.119 --> 0:21:54.560 you know what. 0:21:56.040 --> 0:21:59.880 I think? Or Rosie, what do you think? 0:22:00.119 --> 0:22:02.760 Yeah, so I think it's about so. I think it's 0:22:02.760 --> 0:22:06.440 a mixture of two things. I think that the original 0:22:06.480 --> 0:22:10.399
