0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:54.160
<v Speaker 1>If we teasted them, we teased them.

<v Speaker 2>Okay, here's the news. First up, new trailer for folks.

0:00:58.800 --> 0:01:01.760
<v Speaker 2>You thought the ip was going incorrect ray you were

0:01:01.800 --> 0:01:04.800
<v Speaker 2>wondering what's gonna happen with the Predator series.

0:01:04.840 --> 0:01:08.039
<v Speaker 3>We'll get The Preder series is here and it.

0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:13.640
<v Speaker 2>Is intersecting with its alien centric U Tani lore in

0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:18.480
<v Speaker 2>more and more interesting ways. The trailer for Predator Badlands

0:01:18.680 --> 0:01:23.160
<v Speaker 2>is out there now, starring El Fanning. Is some sort

0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:29.360
<v Speaker 2>of whaland Utani terminator. This looks very exciting.

0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:31.280
<v Speaker 4>Yes, I'm very excited about this.

0:01:31.319 --> 0:01:33.839
<v Speaker 5>In case you don't know the general plot it's basically

0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:36.680
<v Speaker 5>a predator is sent out for his first hunt and

0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:39.039
<v Speaker 5>he ends up being on a planet where he is

0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:41.240
<v Speaker 5>actually the one who is hunted, and it's all these

0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:45.119
<v Speaker 5>different aliens and creatures and people who come to hunt

0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:47.280
<v Speaker 5>on the island. It looks like maybe he's gonna team

0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:50.960
<v Speaker 5>up with el Fanning, who as Me and Carmen we're

0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:54.840
<v Speaker 5>very excited to see has the whalen U Tani logo

0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:58.200
<v Speaker 5>in Aha eyes, just like Andy from Alien Romulus. So

0:01:58.200 --> 0:02:01.440
<v Speaker 5>I think we're definitely getting connections back there to the

0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:05.920
<v Speaker 5>kind of AVP era predator versus Alien. Wouldn't be surprised

0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:09.200
<v Speaker 5>if I saw as animorph pop up in the final movie. Also,

0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:12.440
<v Speaker 5>very interestingly, because there has been talk for a long

0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:16.160
<v Speaker 5>time about how there was an unmade predator anime series

0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:18.520
<v Speaker 5>from about ten years ago. We still don't know what

0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:20.520
<v Speaker 5>the status of that is, but it has been talked about.

0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:23.239
<v Speaker 5>But I thought it's very interesting that they also announced

0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:27.959
<v Speaker 5>a predator killer of Killer's animated show. And this is

0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:30.520
<v Speaker 5>by the same guy who made Prey, who has now

0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:34.520
<v Speaker 5>basically been given the keys to the Predator ip and

0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:38.839
<v Speaker 5>it is about predators throughout history, like going up against

0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:42.200
<v Speaker 5>the most sickest fighters and you know what sounds like

0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:44.000
<v Speaker 5>a ten year old pitched it and I fucking want

0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:45.840
<v Speaker 5>to watch that. Shit? Do I want to watch him

0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:49.120
<v Speaker 5>fight like some Tudor guy jousting. Yeah, I don't know

0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:50.600
<v Speaker 5>if that's going to be in it, but I would

0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:52.560
<v Speaker 5>like to see that, you know. I think it's gonna

0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:55.399
<v Speaker 5>be really fun. Can't wait for this. We're obviously big

0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:58.720
<v Speaker 5>Alien fans here and Predator as well. Also, if you

0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:02.080
<v Speaker 5>are a Predator lover, definitely check out the Spider Man

0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:04.400
<v Speaker 5>predat ecomic that's coming out at the moment from Marvel.

0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:08.200
<v Speaker 5>It is brutal as hell. It's so gory. It's really

0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:10.480
<v Speaker 5>wild to see a Spider Man story like that. So yeah,

0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:13.160
<v Speaker 5>if you're a monst the lover, it's gonna be a

0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:14.080
<v Speaker 5>good summer for us.

0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:22.440
<v Speaker 2>Up next, a Wonderful Earth Day teaser trailer for the

0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:26.679
<v Speaker 2>new project Alien Earth. This teaser trailer, voiced by Neil

0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:28.680
<v Speaker 2>de grasse Tyson, makes it seem as if you were

0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:30.640
<v Speaker 2>about to watch one of these wonderful kind of like

0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:36.760
<v Speaker 2>nature documentaries, but no, this is as becomes clear in

0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:41.640
<v Speaker 2>the final seconds of the teaser. A promo for an

0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:46.400
<v Speaker 2>upcoming show about an Alien Invasion of Earth, starring a

0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:53.520
<v Speaker 2>wonderful cast includes Alex Lothor, Timothy Olafan S Davis, Samuel Blinken, Babousis.

0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:54.720
<v Speaker 1>And more and more.

0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:59.680
<v Speaker 2>And this was a very hooky trailer that I'm excited

0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:00.640
<v Speaker 2>to to watch more.

0:04:00.800 --> 0:04:02.800
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, this is also like a Noah Hawley show. So

0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:05.839
<v Speaker 5>if you're a Legion guy, be excited. You know, I

0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:08.280
<v Speaker 5>think this is great. I don't think it's a coincidence

0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:10.800
<v Speaker 5>that we're getting new Predator and new Alien. I think

0:04:10.880 --> 0:04:14.640
<v Speaker 5>that crossover is probably gonna work. Also, I love that

0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:16.560
<v Speaker 5>at the end of the PSA it was like go

0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:18.880
<v Speaker 5>to IGN and I was like, I go there every day.

0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:20.400
<v Speaker 4>I work there. What do you want from me?

0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:20.640
<v Speaker 2>Like?

0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:21.159
<v Speaker 4>Do I need to?

0:04:21.320 --> 0:04:24.479
<v Speaker 5>And it was actually a very cool world guide for

0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:26.360
<v Speaker 5>ALIENA So definitely check that out.

0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:29.520
<v Speaker 4>Also, this is gonna be interesting because my understanding.

0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:32.080
<v Speaker 5>Is this is the earliest timeline that we're gonna have

0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:34.840
<v Speaker 5>seen in the whalen Utanni alien space.

0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:38.080
<v Speaker 4>It happens about you know it just.

0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:43.920
<v Speaker 5>In the future and before the iconic Nostromo incident as

0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:44.720
<v Speaker 5>we will call it.

0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:46.600
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, we're eating good.

0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:49.479
<v Speaker 5>I absolutely love his animorph My dream is to go

0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:53.280
<v Speaker 5>to the hi our Geygabar in Sweden or in Switzerland

0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:55.200
<v Speaker 5>if anyone wants to hook me up there.

0:04:55.320 --> 0:04:56.920
<v Speaker 4>But yeah, very fun. Can't wait.

0:04:57.279 --> 0:04:58.919
<v Speaker 3>Let's take a quick break and we'll be read.

0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:19.880
<v Speaker 2>Back and we're back. Sinners blowing up at the box

0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:24.800
<v Speaker 2>of Wow. Wow, Wow Wow. The film opened over the

0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:29.760
<v Speaker 2>weekend to a cool forty eight million massive critical acclaim.

0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:31.000
<v Speaker 3>I believe it's at ninety.

0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:34.760
<v Speaker 5>It's actually they think it's hit one hundred million because

0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:38.440
<v Speaker 5>they had an unbelievable.

0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:38.920
<v Speaker 4>Tuesday and Wednesday.

0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:39.599
<v Speaker 5>Wow.

0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:42.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, word of mouth is really blowing it up.

0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:43.599
<v Speaker 4>Word of mouth is real.

0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:47.000
<v Speaker 5>And also this is very interesting because I've never seen

0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:50.360
<v Speaker 5>something like this work this way before. So they think

0:05:50.360 --> 0:05:54.000
<v Speaker 5>it made over eight million dollars on Tuesday, cheap movie Day,

0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:56.440
<v Speaker 5>which is crazy. And then they think it made another

0:05:56.839 --> 0:05:59.600
<v Speaker 5>on Wednesday, like eight or nine million, which again on

0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:02.480
<v Speaker 5>her of and that's full price tickets. But the reason

0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:06.200
<v Speaker 5>is Ryan Coogler and Warner Brothers came up with this

0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:10.919
<v Speaker 5>very interesting and clever scheme, which is they if you

0:06:10.960 --> 0:06:14.880
<v Speaker 5>went to see Sinners from the twenty third of April,

0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:16.800
<v Speaker 5>so this is to encourage you to go and see

0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:20.599
<v Speaker 5>it again. And this next weekend, they are giving away

0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:24.480
<v Speaker 5>film reel from the movie and people can collect it's

0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:29.359
<v Speaker 5>seventy milimeter film reel. So people are going absolutely wild,

0:06:29.640 --> 0:06:33.200
<v Speaker 5>and it's been so fun to see people online going,

0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:34.960
<v Speaker 5>oh my god, I have to see this in Imax.

0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:36.760
<v Speaker 4>I have to see this at the Vista. I have

0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:37.200
<v Speaker 4>to see it.

0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:39.559
<v Speaker 5>I recently I did yet see it in true imax,

0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:42.240
<v Speaker 5>because I'm a true Imax lover, but I recently went

0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:44.880
<v Speaker 5>see it at the Alamo draft House, relatively small screen

0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:47.839
<v Speaker 5>with a couple of friends, and it was just as incredible.

0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:49.640
<v Speaker 4>I would just say, just keep going.

0:06:49.880 --> 0:06:50.040
<v Speaker 5>Now.

0:06:50.080 --> 0:06:51.000
<v Speaker 4>The big other.

0:06:50.920 --> 0:06:53.359
<v Speaker 5>News here that me and Jason wanted to talk about

0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:57.960
<v Speaker 5>is it has come out in some very ridiculous kind

0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:00.240
<v Speaker 5>of trade news that tried to make it see like

0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:03.800
<v Speaker 5>a bad thing. That Ryan Cougler, specifically for this film,

0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:06.760
<v Speaker 5>which is very much about the notion of black ownership

0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:10.720
<v Speaker 5>and black freedom, he basically said to whoever was gonna

0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:13.080
<v Speaker 5>get it, like, not only did he want his dollar gross,

0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:15.760
<v Speaker 5>which he has been getting at from every dollar, not

0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:19.800
<v Speaker 5>waiting until the movie is done, but also he gets

0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:22.880
<v Speaker 5>to own it in twenty five years. In twenty five years,

0:07:22.920 --> 0:07:25.280
<v Speaker 5>the copyright will lapse and it will go back to him.

0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:28.920
<v Speaker 5>And interestingly, like the only other person who's done this

0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:31.920
<v Speaker 5>is Quentin Tarantino and that was also like for his

0:07:32.040 --> 0:07:33.239
<v Speaker 5>later stage movies.

0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:34.520
<v Speaker 4>So this is a huge moment.

0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:37.440
<v Speaker 5>Variety is trying to act like, oh, this is gonna

0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:41.000
<v Speaker 5>be bad for studios, but I loved the quote from

0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:46.640
<v Speaker 5>Michael de lucam Abdy, who work at Warner Brothers as

0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:49.480
<v Speaker 5>the execs, and they were basically like, if you think

0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:49.840
<v Speaker 5>this is.

0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:51.160
<v Speaker 4>A bad idea, you're stupid.

0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:53.840
<v Speaker 5>Like Ryan Kugler is a genius, and we love that

0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:55.080
<v Speaker 5>we gave him this deal.

0:07:55.120 --> 0:07:57.360
<v Speaker 4>We love we gave him this movie, and it seems

0:07:57.360 --> 0:07:58.120
<v Speaker 4>like it's paying off.

0:07:58.280 --> 0:08:01.200
<v Speaker 5>Also, ninety eight percent on Rotten Toma and an A

0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:04.440
<v Speaker 5>Cinema School, which is the first time any horror movie

0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:06.240
<v Speaker 5>has had an A Cinema score. So the word of

0:08:06.360 --> 0:08:08.880
<v Speaker 5>mouth and legs on this is going to be long, long, long.

0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:12.239
<v Speaker 2>So the reason that you know this is being looked

0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:16.760
<v Speaker 2>at with alarm in some industry circles is that you know,

0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:20.840
<v Speaker 2>the whole game in entertainment is to build a library,

0:08:20.960 --> 0:08:25.280
<v Speaker 2>yes exam to have whether it's your Paramounts, your Netflix,

0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:29.800
<v Speaker 2>your Apple TV plus whatever, create shows and movies that

0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:33.200
<v Speaker 2>will live on their platform that will be part of

0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:36.360
<v Speaker 2>the reason that people sign up, and that a deal

0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:41.840
<v Speaker 2>like this Coogler's Neil potentially, you know, throws a wrench

0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:44.040
<v Speaker 2>in that works. I'll just say that, like, I kind

0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:49.520
<v Speaker 2>of obviously there's the whole ethical and moral issue about

0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:53.480
<v Speaker 2>like creator owning the stuff that they own. But I

0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:57.520
<v Speaker 2>also feel like, what's again, so Tarantino has this, he's

0:08:57.559 --> 0:08:58.880
<v Speaker 2>not and Tarantino's not the first.

0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:01.040
<v Speaker 3>There's been others, just rare.

0:09:01.120 --> 0:09:05.080
<v Speaker 2>There's been a it's a small handful of people. But

0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:09.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, honestly confused why some are so like up

0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:12.000
<v Speaker 2>in arms and saying this could destroy the industry when

0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:13.280
<v Speaker 2>this has been done before.

0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:16.120
<v Speaker 5>It's because one, it's because Ryan Coogler is a black director.

0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:20.400
<v Speaker 5>That's like, let's be real. And also I think that

0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:24.440
<v Speaker 5>the other aspect of it is like there's never been

0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:28.880
<v Speaker 5>a more obsessed with IP time in cinema and in

0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:31.840
<v Speaker 5>the industry, and this idea of having a catalog and

0:09:31.920 --> 0:09:34.079
<v Speaker 5>needing a catalog so you can have a streaming service,

0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:36.240
<v Speaker 5>so you can sell your catalog in the future to

0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:39.400
<v Speaker 5>Amazon like MGM, did you know? But the funny thing

0:09:39.440 --> 0:09:42.560
<v Speaker 5>is as well, We're living in an era where sometimes

0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:45.200
<v Speaker 5>execs are just trash in a movie and not even

0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:46.240
<v Speaker 5>letting it be released.

0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:47.439
<v Speaker 4>So you're already.

0:09:47.080 --> 0:09:50.760
<v Speaker 5>Impacting your in your your catalog with choices like that.

0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:53.320
<v Speaker 5>So I think it's all kind of overblown. And I

0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:56.199
<v Speaker 5>think that now it's hit one hundred mil. The budget

0:09:56.280 --> 0:09:59.960
<v Speaker 5>was around ninety mil, and then you add your market,

0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:01.959
<v Speaker 5>it probably goes up to like one hundred and fifty mil,

0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:04.760
<v Speaker 5>as my guess, and it's already made one hundred mil

0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:08.000
<v Speaker 5>just domestically. I think it's gonna be fine. Also, I'm

0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:10.040
<v Speaker 5>very interested to see and we'll talk about this at

0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:13.199
<v Speaker 5>some point next week, because we keep it a lot

0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:15.719
<v Speaker 5>of eyes on, like how much does the weekly drop off?

0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:15.959
<v Speaker 4>Right?

0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:18.240
<v Speaker 5>And we know with Marvel recently we've been having these

0:10:18.320 --> 0:10:20.640
<v Speaker 5>huge sixty seven percent drop offs, Like the word of

0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:24.640
<v Speaker 5>mouth is not there. They think that this weekend Sinners

0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:27.040
<v Speaker 5>is gonna make forty million dollars and.

0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:29.000
<v Speaker 4>It opened to forty eight million dollars.

0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:30.960
<v Speaker 5>If that is the case, it is gonna be one

0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:33.520
<v Speaker 5>of the lowest, if not the lowest weekend drops of

0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:36.160
<v Speaker 5>all time. So everything you're doing here, Warner Brothers, you're

0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:38.880
<v Speaker 5>killing it. Ryan Coogler, You're doing such a great job

0:10:38.920 --> 0:10:41.280
<v Speaker 5>of getting people back in the cinemas. I've been seeing

0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:45.040
<v Speaker 5>people complaining about sold out screenings all over the country

0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:46.800
<v Speaker 5>and how it's hard to get a ticket to see

0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:48.160
<v Speaker 5>it in that new format.

0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:50.000
<v Speaker 4>So I just I think it's good for cinema.

0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:51.760
<v Speaker 5>I think it's gonna end up being seen as a

0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:54.679
<v Speaker 5>great deal, an important deal. And also Ryan Coogler said

0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:56.360
<v Speaker 5>he just wanted it for this movie. He said, he's

0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:58.960
<v Speaker 5>not gonna ask you that deal again, you know. And

0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:01.600
<v Speaker 5>Joelle had said she thinks Warner Brothers might be priming

0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:03.439
<v Speaker 5>him to be that kind of new Nolan.

0:11:03.559 --> 0:11:04.280
<v Speaker 4>Now Nolan is.

0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:08.760
<v Speaker 5>At University, I would love to see them keep investing

0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:10.839
<v Speaker 5>in him because it's kind of hard to put into

0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:14.160
<v Speaker 5>words how different and unique that movie really is.

0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:17.160
<v Speaker 2>Well, I mean, like, listen, here's he's got a billion

0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:19.400
<v Speaker 2>dollar movie under his belt, and now he's got Sinners,

0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:24.640
<v Speaker 2>which is continuing to rocket in terms of box office,

0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:29.680
<v Speaker 2>and let's face it, like this is dollars business and

0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:31.679
<v Speaker 2>he's bringing it in. So yes, I agree. I hope

0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:34.480
<v Speaker 2>they continue this and it makes sense for them. Up

0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:36.040
<v Speaker 2>next in Shocking.

0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:39.199
<v Speaker 5>Wilds Wild Shoes, Blowing my fucking bye.

0:11:39.440 --> 0:11:43.600
<v Speaker 2>Jacob Phillips, the son of Sean Phillips of hell Blazer

0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:48.040
<v Speaker 2>and Wildcats and Criminal, you know, like same and Criminal,

0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:51.719
<v Speaker 2>one of the you know, one of the lights of

0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:54.840
<v Speaker 2>a certain generation of UK comics creators.

0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:58.160
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, Indie and also like if you watch, like if

0:11:58.200 --> 0:12:00.680
<v Speaker 5>you read an image book, this is man that you

0:12:00.760 --> 0:12:04.520
<v Speaker 5>know and care about. He's done a great job actually,

0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:07.320
<v Speaker 5>like kind of honing Jacob. Jacob has colored some of

0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:10.360
<v Speaker 5>his comics. Then Jacob went into writing and somehow he

0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:11.120
<v Speaker 5>got this gig.

0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:19.040
<v Speaker 2>His son, Jacob is finishing up work on a adaptation

0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:23.839
<v Speaker 2>of Francis Ford Coppola's Insane three Hour.

0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:26.000
<v Speaker 3>Disaster.

0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:33.400
<v Speaker 2>Magnum Magnum Doopah's megalois it, and it's almost done and

0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:36.520
<v Speaker 2>it will be released soon and it is He's just

0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:37.679
<v Speaker 2>announced it to the world.

0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:39.880
<v Speaker 1>And this is truly one of those things where I'm like.

0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:42.640
<v Speaker 4>Wait, what my mind. Also, this is like so funny

0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:44.800
<v Speaker 4>because it's so comicsy because he's.

0:12:44.760 --> 0:12:47.120
<v Speaker 5>The guy who he's adapting it with, Chris Ryle is

0:12:47.160 --> 0:12:49.199
<v Speaker 5>like an old DW guy who was in charge of

0:12:49.240 --> 0:12:52.040
<v Speaker 5>a DW. So it just feels very like in in

0:12:52.120 --> 0:12:54.280
<v Speaker 5>the weeds, in kind of inside baseball.

0:12:54.640 --> 0:12:55.640
<v Speaker 4>I also won.

0:12:55.800 --> 0:12:59.000
<v Speaker 5>Jacob is like an unreal yet like everything he draws

0:12:59.040 --> 0:13:03.000
<v Speaker 5>is fucking amazing, And I love the idea that Jacob

0:13:03.080 --> 0:13:06.200
<v Speaker 5>said he never saw the movie, he never saw any footage,

0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:08.280
<v Speaker 5>and he's been working on this since twenty twenty two.

0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:10.640
<v Speaker 4>He only read scripts and reviewed concepts.

0:13:10.640 --> 0:13:12.520
<v Speaker 5>Are is this going to become like an eyes in

0:13:12.520 --> 0:13:15.960
<v Speaker 5>the winning fantastic graphic novel? Is this the format that

0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:17.800
<v Speaker 5>Megalopolis was always supposed to be in?

0:13:18.320 --> 0:13:18.880
<v Speaker 4>This is just.

0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:21.200
<v Speaker 5>Blowing my mind and I will be reading that one

0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:23.880
<v Speaker 5>hundred and forty eight page graphic novels no question.

0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:25.920
<v Speaker 3>In absolutely insane.

0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:29.400
<v Speaker 2>Up next, Paedro Pascal gives us more reason to love him.

0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:30.120
<v Speaker 4>Oh I love him.

0:13:30.200 --> 0:13:33.600
<v Speaker 1>See he It was.

0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:36.599
<v Speaker 2>Photographed wearing a Protect Doll shirt at the premiere of

0:13:36.640 --> 0:13:39.560
<v Speaker 2>the Thunderbolts movie, and then was quoted as.

0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:43.480
<v Speaker 3>Asked for comment about JK.

0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:49.400
<v Speaker 2>Rowling's ongoing activism to strip trans women in the UK

0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:54.800
<v Speaker 2>of their rights and safety protections, to which Pedro Pascal

0:13:54.880 --> 0:13:59.400
<v Speaker 2>replied that JK is a heinous said it was cainus

0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:00.520
<v Speaker 2>loser behavior.

0:14:00.800 --> 0:14:04.040
<v Speaker 4>I love that so much, Pedro, We love you. Also.

0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:07.240
<v Speaker 5>Carmen wrote a great little context here because I did

0:14:07.240 --> 0:14:09.160
<v Speaker 5>get a few different people saying, hey, what does that mean?

0:14:09.200 --> 0:14:12.160
<v Speaker 5>Protect the dolls? Like everyone's really excited about it. So

0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:15.760
<v Speaker 5>Carmen wrote, our super producer wrote a great little bit here,

0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:18.040
<v Speaker 5>which is it's important to note that the term doll

0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:21.560
<v Speaker 5>is used to describe high femme passing trans women originating

0:14:21.560 --> 0:14:24.400
<v Speaker 5>in the Borham community, who are the primary targets of

0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:27.760
<v Speaker 5>anti trans hate and violence. The statement intends to highlight

0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:31.160
<v Speaker 5>the most at risk and disenfranchised of the Lodge trans community.

0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:33.680
<v Speaker 5>And here's the thing, you all want to protect the

0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:35.880
<v Speaker 5>doll shirt now, I know I've had the dms. Well,

0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:39.360
<v Speaker 5>Carmen found out where they really are from, not the bootlegs,

0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:42.000
<v Speaker 5>not the tea publics, not the AI versions. If you

0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:44.920
<v Speaker 5>purchase it from the retailer connor Ibes, your purchase then

0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:47.800
<v Speaker 5>supports the trans Lifeline project. And you can obviously just

0:14:47.880 --> 0:14:51.160
<v Speaker 5>donate directly to charity, or how about you just send

0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:53.560
<v Speaker 5>some money to a doll in your life, because tough

0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:56.560
<v Speaker 5>times are tough. And I think Pedro is amazing, and

0:14:56.600 --> 0:14:58.720
<v Speaker 5>I love that he's just on Twitter like replying to

0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:01.760
<v Speaker 5>people that yeah, heinus fucking loose the behavior and that

0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:05.000
<v Speaker 5>shit is a headline, and he's proud of it.

0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:10.040
<v Speaker 2>And finally, George R. Martin, after it's written here that

0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:13.640
<v Speaker 2>it's been thirteen years since his last book. I think

0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:17.280
<v Speaker 2>it's actually been fifteen. I want to I want to

0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:19.680
<v Speaker 2>change that. Whoever wrote you know what.

0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:22.680
<v Speaker 5>That's why he's he keeps saying thirteen, but he's playing

0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:23.080
<v Speaker 5>it down.

0:15:23.600 --> 0:15:30.240
<v Speaker 2>It's been fifteen years by my count. Harvard Left released

0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:34.920
<v Speaker 2>a book in his Song of Ion Fire series. The

0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:37.880
<v Speaker 2>book titled The Dance of Dragons, released in twenty ten.

0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:40.280
<v Speaker 2>I want to say a summer of twenty ten, and

0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:45.560
<v Speaker 2>in a recent Time magazine interview, George said that he

0:15:45.680 --> 0:15:49.920
<v Speaker 2>is indeed quote still working on oh and then and

0:15:49.960 --> 0:15:54.040
<v Speaker 2>then continued that the book is quote that's the curse

0:15:54.120 --> 0:15:58.880
<v Speaker 2>of my life. Here, he continues, there's no doubt Winds

0:15:58.880 --> 0:16:03.320
<v Speaker 2>of Winter is thirteen. Again, it's fifteen years late. I'm

0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:05.880
<v Speaker 2>still working on it. I've apperiods where I make progress

0:16:05.880 --> 0:16:09.520
<v Speaker 2>and others and others when things divert my attention end quote.

0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:11.880
<v Speaker 2>The curse of my life is crazy.

0:16:12.000 --> 0:16:15.320
<v Speaker 3>Let me I should just say, George, hire writers room,

0:16:15.400 --> 0:16:17.240

<v Speaker 5>as always fact checking us. So Jason, you and you

0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:33.280
<v Speaker 5>published in July twenty eleven, so it's fourteen years.

0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:35.520
<v Speaker 4>He's playing it like it's thirteen.

0:16:35.640 --> 0:16:42.120
<v Speaker 2>And all feeling your feeling us steal like suck get it,

0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:44.040

<v Speaker 2>or two.

0:16:44.480 --> 0:16:47.400
<v Speaker 5>Get writers from Guess Studio, pay those people a lot

0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:50.920
<v Speaker 5>of money and make this book come. Honestly, I love

0:16:51.040 --> 0:16:53.600
<v Speaker 5>this is the kind of catty, hilarious shit that I

0:16:53.640 --> 0:16:56.880
<v Speaker 5>love when creatives say. It's like, it's like you're a multimillionaire.

0:16:56.960 --> 0:16:59.920
<v Speaker 5>You've got mad franchises, you even got like Dark Wind.

0:17:00.120 --> 0:17:02.360
<v Speaker 5>You're producing one of the best TV shows right now,

0:17:02.400 --> 0:17:04.720
<v Speaker 5>even though Game of Thrones is not on your House

0:17:04.720 --> 0:17:06.720
<v Speaker 5>of the Dragon, and all of it is because of

0:17:06.760 --> 0:17:07.280
<v Speaker 5>your writing.

0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:09.840
<v Speaker 3>But now, when's the winter is the curse of his life?

0:17:09.840 --> 0:17:10.600
<v Speaker 5>And you know what, just.

0:17:10.640 --> 0:17:13.440
<v Speaker 2>Hire just hire some folks to hire people.

0:17:13.280 --> 0:17:13.960
<v Speaker 4>Hire some people.

0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:16.640
<v Speaker 5>But I love it because it's also very relatable because

0:17:16.680 --> 0:17:18.600
<v Speaker 5>that's how I feel any time I won the deadline

0:17:18.640 --> 0:17:19.080
<v Speaker 5>for a book.

0:17:19.280 --> 0:17:20.240
<v Speaker 4>I'm like, wait, why did I.

0:17:20.160 --> 0:17:22.480
<v Speaker 3>Accept this deadline for fourteen years?

0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:23.800
<v Speaker 4>He's been on deadline for fourteen years.

0:17:23.840 --> 0:17:25.439
<v Speaker 5>The one thing that always cracks me up, that we

0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:28.920
<v Speaker 5>always say is like, what's the only thing worse than

0:17:28.960 --> 0:17:30.520
<v Speaker 5>your project not getting picked up?

0:17:30.800 --> 0:17:32.919
<v Speaker 4>It's your project getting picked up. And I think that

0:17:33.119 --> 0:17:36.520
<v Speaker 4>is That's what Georgia L. Martin is living through right now.

0:17:36.560 --> 0:17:38.720
<v Speaker 4>He's like, I just cannot going.

0:17:38.680 --> 0:17:41.760
<v Speaker 1>To curse the curse of my life.
