00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 3: Mario Galaxies. The critics are hating it, but the box

Speaker 3: office is loving it, and we'll be giving you our

15

Speaker 3: into the James Gunner Verse at DC.

17
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: First up, Super Mario Galaxy is gonna make a billion dollars,

18
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: So it's gonna make a billion two five This is

19
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: my I'm calling it. It's gonna be one two five bill.

20
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: Currently at sixty eight million dollars in the first day

21
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: of box office sales, which is nuts. It is on

22
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: track to be the biggest universal opening ever. So yes,

23
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: it's this is gonna be a huge movie. And if

24
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,759
Speaker 1: there is a trend in the box office right now,

25
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 1: which is a kind of bounce back year. Not we're

26
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: not in pre pandemic levels, but this has been a

27
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: good year at the movies, with movies not only making

28
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: money but hanging on, such as Project Hail Mary. You know,

29
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 1: they're showing some good legs at the theaters, which is

30
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: feels like something that hasn't happened in a while exactly.

31
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: But if there's if there's one trend that is occurring,

32
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: it is movies for young.

33
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 2: People, for kids, kiddy movies, baby movies that.

34
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: Kids can see, like Project Hill Mary, not a kids movie,

35
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: but certainly a movie for the whole family.

36
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 2: Apply. Yeah, it's very interesting.

37
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 3: You're totally right, because those are basically now the only

38
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 3: shore bets. It's like, if you can get a movie

39
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 3: that you can take kids to see, the first Mario

40
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 3: Brothers movie, Sumerio movie, It's fine.

41
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:15,799
Speaker 2: I didn't love it, which is hard for.

42
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 3: Me because I love Teen Titans Go and obviously this

43
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 3: is those guys, it's the crew behind that.

44
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 2: But I get it.

45
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 3: It was a global smash it because it was not specific,

46
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 3: It was not written to any certain kind of cultural humor. Instead,

47
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 3: it was like, look at this beautiful thing with characters

48
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 3: that you like.

49
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 2: We have yet to see the.

50
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 3: Second one, but that is what I'm hearing, though, I

51
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 3: will say I've heard the second one is much speedier,

52
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 3: very beautiful to look at, and very Easter eggon meme filled,

53
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 3: So it does sound more like my kind of thing, honestly.

54
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 3: But yeah, this is a really crazy situation because this

55
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 3: is the same time that they opened it last year,

56
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 3: so I mean last time the first movie came out,

57
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 3: so they knew Easter was like a big time for them.

58
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 3: I think you're right, Jason. I think this is easily

59
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 3: gonna pass a billion. I think it could be even more.

60
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 3: I think it could go up to a billion point five.

61
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 3: Like these movies are beloved my nephew, my niece, the

62
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 3: whole family.

63
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 2: They were actually there on opening day, two day watching

64
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 2: the movie.

65
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 3: Now, I will say, my six year old niece did

66
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 3: ask to leave because she got bored, and that is

67
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 3: rare for her. So I thought that was interesting because

68
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 3: she is a short form viewer, so I thought that

69
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,959
Speaker 3: she would like the memification, but she wanted to leave,

70
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 3: go to the park. The kids will be okay, so

71
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 3: that's nice, But I thought that was interesting because my

72
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 3: family does not usually go on the first day to

73
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 3: a movie, but this was like appointment viewing for them.

74
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 3: So I do really think this is gonna open so big.

75
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: I am gonna revise upward. I think you're right one

76
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: point five. I was looking at the Super Mario Brothers

77
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: movie numbers. It made one hundred and forty six point

78
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: three over its first three days in Easter weekend twenty

79
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: twenty three, so we's sixty eight. So we're halfway there

80
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: already over the first day. So I think I think

81
00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: we can make a billion point five. I think we're

82
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: gonna or a billion point four somewhere like this is

83
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: gonna be an absolutely huge movie.

84
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 2: I agree. I wonder how it will play this weekend.

85
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 3: So the original Super Mario Galaxy, I mean, the original

86
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 3: Super Mario Brothers opened to like two hundred and four

87
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:19,359
Speaker 3: million over the five day Easter weekend and in twenty

88
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 3: twenty three, and Hella over index. They did not expect

89
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 3: it to be that big, kind of like what happened

90
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 3: with Minecraft. They're saying this could be one hundred and

91
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 3: eighty six mil. I don't see why this wouldn't open

92
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 3: bigger I think that this I think this could have

93
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 3: an opening weekend of two twenty, but it could also

94
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 3: have long legs because this is gonna be the kind

95
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 3: of movie kids want to see again and again and again.

96
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 3: And we know Universal is honoring the longer cinematic window now,

97
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 3: so I'm interested. Jason, what's your bet just for opening weekend?

98
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 3: Going off this opening day.

99
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 1: Open a weekend, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say to twelve.

100
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's I think that's really I think

101
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 3: that's a solid bet. You're very good at being the

102
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 3: more reasonable among us. I also want to say, guys,

103
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 3: this is an insane cast. Aside from the guy they

104
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,559
Speaker 3: cast as Mario, which was crazy casting, this is Annya

105
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 3: Taylor Joy as Princess Peach, Charlie Day, Luigi, Jack Black, Bowser,

106
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 3: Keegan Michael keyth Toad. That was our cast from last time.

107
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 3: Now you've got Benny Safty as Bowser, Junior, Okay, Isa Reyes,

108
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 3: Hanny Queen pre Lastome, Princess Roselina. She's been loving this, Presstour,

109
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 3: Glen Powell, Fox McLeod and Donald Glover as Yoshi. Apparently

110
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 3: the last two shine in the movie and the they

111
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 3: are saying, this is another Glen Pale hit. You know,

112
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 3: this could be a Fox McLeod spin off potentially, which

113
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:41,559
Speaker 3: feels like I never saw it coming.

114
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 2: Also interesting is just.

115
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 3: The reach of the press stour, like and how good

116
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 3: they have done with the press tour despite the fact

117
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:51,799
Speaker 3: the movie is not necessarily great.

118
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 2: That has been really well done. That doesn't matter, It

119
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 2: doesn't matter, but it doesn't.

120
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 1: Matter what the critics think this one no exactly.

121
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 3: It's like cultural context, cultural out and also the kind

122
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 3: of insane time we're living in that in twenty twenty six,

123
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 3: you could have Charlie Day on, you know.

124
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 2: I think it was an Italian broadcast being.

125
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,559
Speaker 3: Asked who his favorite Luigi was from recent American history,

126
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 3: which is a layup if I've ever heard one, and

127
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 3: him saying Luigi Mangioni and that becoming like a news

128
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 3: story in a positive way just tells you where we

129
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 3: are in this era. And I love that press store

130
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 3: and it has been crazy and to get Seabrie Larsen

131
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 3: getting to enjoy being on a press store, something that

132
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 3: never really seemed like she got to do during Captain Marvel,

133
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 3: I know that's been really special for people.

134
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 2: So Yeah, this is going to be a crazy rollout.

135
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 2: I would not be shocked if we were.

136
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,359
Speaker 3: Coming in at a two hundred and fifty million opening,

137
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 3: just because people need something to see, they need something

138
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 3: to go to. But I do think the Project El

139
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 3: Mary will keep a little bit of that number down,

140
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 3: So I think you're right. I think around two hundred

141
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 3: to two ten to twelve is is likely, though I

142
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 3: think it could go as high as two hundred and

143
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 3: twenty five.

144
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: Let's take a break and we'll be back to talk mornings. Yeah,

145
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: and we're back. New Supergirl trailer is out. This, of course,

146
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: is an adaptation of Tom Kings and Bill Quis Everley's

147
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: Supergirl Woman of Tomorrow. Wonderful You're a Supergirl Woman of Tomorrow.

148
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: And the trailer is out, and I have some concerns

149
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: me too.

150
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 2: I would agree.

151
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: I like the trailer, but I wonder if we are

152
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: not I wonder if it's not trying to do too much,

153
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: and considering what we were talking about in our a block,

154
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:52,679
Speaker 1: I wonder if we are not truly and materially past

155
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: a superhero phase that is perhaps not going to reward

156
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: this movie in the way that you know that Warner

157
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: Brothers Hopes. Yes, I'm saying. And also the trailer, just

158
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: like thematically, it feels a little like it's trying to

159
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: put so much of the emotional stakes into it that

160
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: it worries me a little bit. I don't know, what

161
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: do you think?

162
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was.

163
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 3: I was not a huge fan of the trailer, I know,

164
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 3: and I want to say, I want to shout out

165
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 3: super producer Joel I want to shout out like Amelia Emboing,

166
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 3: who's been on here before, so many different women who

167
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 3: love this trailer, who it really worked for, and who

168
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 3: felt like they wanted to see this vision of super Girl.

169
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 3: And I love that and I'm so happy it spoke

170
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 3: to some people. But for me, it was giving. They

171
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 3: don't know what to do with this movie. I mean,

172
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 3: the whole making it about Crypto again. I think that

173
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 3: kind of James Gunn's personal relationship with his dog is

174
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 3: so precious and shaped so much of Superman. But I

175
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 3: don't think you can run a whole franchise off that idea.

176
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 3: And the way that they're utilizing Crypto here it does

177
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 3: make sense compared to the book, where you are actually

178
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 3: led to believe that he's dead for a few issues,

179
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 3: and it was incredibly controversial, so I understand why they're

180
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 3: not doing that, but I am also surprised that they

181
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 3: have decided to have Crypto go on the journey with

182
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 3: them after he gets shot, this kind of change of

183
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 3: it to sort of almost a John Wick trope.

184
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:21,559
Speaker 2: I also just.

185
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 3: Feel like, for me, the visuals are not there yet unfortunately,

186
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 3: Like it's very clear they haven't mapped her face onto

187
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 3: the action body double or whatever. We don't really get

188
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 3: to see her fighting. The only scene we do get

189
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 3: from the fight is this kind of slow motion sequence,

190
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 3: which you know, to me, really invoked some of the

191
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 3: last ten years of superhamovies that I don't love, this

192
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 3: kind of slow motion orange and blue transformer's palette. I

193
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 3: just I always knew this was going to be a

194
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,959
Speaker 3: struggle for me, because I do think oftentimes the kind

195
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 3: of people who want to adapt Tom King books are

196
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 3: not always aligned with my interests. But what I loved

197
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 3: about this book was Bill clos Everly's ar and it's

198
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 3: disappointing to me to see that they've gone for kind

199
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 3: of more of a dark, dreary Western than a kind

200
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 3: of fantastical space cosmic adventure that is sort of what

201
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 3: made the brutality of the story feel so special and unique.

202
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 3: And I think this to me just reads a bit

203
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 3: more like another superhero story about a dark, gratty character,

204
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 3: and also like this is just me, But I've actually

205
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 3: seen a lot of stories about like messed up women

206
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 3: who are drunk and who can fight, Like that's a

207
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 3: big B movie trope. I don't think it for me

208
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 3: feels like radical or I don't know. I love Milli Alcock.

209
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 3: I hope the movie is great, but I read a

210
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 3: lot of stuff about the screenings and how people are

211
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 3: reacting to them, and this trailer made me believe that

212
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 3: the leaks from the screens were probably real and that sadly,

213
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 3: I think we're probably gonna get the most sounded down,

214
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 3: like trying to appeal to people version of this, and

215
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 3: I don't think that's ever the best way to get

216
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 3: a great movie. Like I think that the best movies

217
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,839
Speaker 3: are the ones where we let people go wild. That's

218
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 3: what Warner Brothers loved and loved last year about Sinners,

219
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 3: about one battle after another. I know superhero movies aren't

220
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 3: always made to do that, but as you mentioned, Jason,

221
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 3: as superio movies change we should change with them, And

222
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 3: I think, sadly if this is really this is only

223
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 3: our second James Gunn movie now, and I don't think

224
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 3: it's gonna hit in the way that they need it

225
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 3: to hit to continue that two year contract in my opinion.

226
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 3: But I hope I'm proven wrong, and I hope that

227
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 3: the next trailer makes me super excited.

228
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 1: Well to your point, there have been anonymous reports from

229
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: screenings that the screenings are going poorly.

230
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 3: And they've had to do lots and lots of screenings

231
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 3: to push back.

232
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: I feel like in order to go where the audience

233
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: is going, you kind of have to listen to the screenings.

234
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,559
Speaker 1: I know, like the listen there's the difference between like

235
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 1: an auto or driven thing and an ip driven thing,

236
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 1: and Sinners is different and one battle Another is different

237
00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: than Superman and super Supergirl. But Superman clearly improved because

238
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: of the feedback they got from screenings about the structure

239
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: of the movie. Right, I think we can say that,

240
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: or at least people who are close enough to the

241
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 1: production say that now it's supposed to be. There were

242
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: significant changes that made it more palatable, that made it

243
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 1: but you know, more of a gripping story, and so

244
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: I think you have to take you have to take

245
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 1: the feedback from the screenings seriously. And I don't know

246
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 1: if they're gonna, you know, I don't know where they

247
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 1: are with reshoots. Clearly, I think that's gonna be an issue.

248
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 1: We're pretty late in the schedule to be able to

249
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 1: reshoot stuff. I don't know. I think cutting something to

250
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: death is not something that is well, that's where it gets.

251
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,319
Speaker 1: That's where it gets, truly gets worse. Like if you're

252
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: gonna shoot new material, that's one thing. If you're gonna

253
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: morbius something to death, then that's another thing. And so

254
00:12:55,040 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: I do. I am worried, Like I'm worried that Lobo

255
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:04,599
Speaker 1: is not in the original comic. His edition here feels

256
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 1: like a slight panic movie.

257
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 2: Yes, I agree.

258
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 3: It feels like they didn't think a Supergirl movie would

259
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 3: be enough, so they added a famous actor with stunt casting.

260
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 3: And some of the feedback is why isn't there more

261
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,559
Speaker 3: Lobo in it? He's the best character, which is always

262
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 3: what you risk when you put in a panic character

263
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 3: rather than investing in the main character like Millie Alcock

264
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 3: as this Supergirl is generationally fantastic casting, So you should

265
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 3: not fumble this, like that should be your central focus.

266
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 1: I will say, like, is she I have I'm not

267
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 1: like denigrating Millioncock's ability to do this role, but.

268
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 2: Not from what we've seen.

269
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 3: I just mean from Western Mark, like is she generationally great?

270
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: Like I don't know that she.

271
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 3: I felt like the casting coming great House of Dragon

272
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 3: with this specific like dark, more intricate, weird version of

273
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 3: Supergirl was general rationally a good costing choice, the same

274
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 3: way that they did with Robert Downey June. I feel

275
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 3: like it has the potential, but I don't think the

276
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 3: movie is showing the potential because I think, well, here's

277
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,079
Speaker 3: my take. Well, yeah, give me a take, give me

278
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 3: a take.

279
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: Here's my here's my take. And it's, first of all,

280
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: I think the success when you look at what's succeeding

281
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: at the box office, and as we said, not just succeeding,

282
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: but like but going on runs at the box office,

283
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: it's a lot of stuff about youth. Yeah, well look

284
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: at Marvel's greatest performing trailer of all time right now,

285
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: it's The New Side. Why because it's a young it's

286
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 1: it's a first of all, a character that is based

287
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 1: on a more kind of youthful perspective, and you've got

288
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: younger stars in it. I think it's time comic book movies.

289
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: I'm not saying reboot, but I'm saying when you have

290
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: the opportunity. I think Marvel has a huge opportunity going forward.

291
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 1: Young X men, young new Avengers, young. Keep if you're

292
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:09,479
Speaker 1: gonna keep Downy or Evans or any of them, graduate

293
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 1: them into Nick Fury roles. Young young, young, young, young,

294
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: stranger things this ship going forward. It's trying a young,

295
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: exciting cast, no old people anymore. Charles Xavior RP. Magneto. Yes,

296
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 1: we need younger, a younger perspective right now in these movies.

297
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: If these movies are gonna succeed at a level that

298
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: meets the investment of the past or anything like it,

299
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 1: and I think that's what the box office is telling us.

300
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: I agree, whether it's K Pop, Demon Hunters and pot

301
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: Mary or or the Mario movies or Utopia or whatever,

302
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: go young, go young with these characters. It doesn't mean

303
00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: you need to dumb down the themes. It doesn't need

304
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: to need to dumbed down the story. I mean, look

305
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: at the brand New Day Like I don't think that's

306
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: dumbing down or younging down anything that Marvel is doing.

307
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: But you need to like invest in a younger cast,

308
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: in a younger perspective, a younger vision as well.

309
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 3: Like think about the movies that you know, and obviously

310
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 3: like Jim Henson, he had a lot of successes with

311
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 3: the Muppets and stuff, but he also you know, made

312
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 3: things like Dark Crystal and Labyrinth, and while they weren't

313
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 3: huge financial successes at the time, they were movies that

314
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 3: were for kids, that were for family audiences, that challenged people.

315
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 3: That that Princess Brian another movie. There's so many ways

316
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 3: to access a young audience. It's what Pixar did so

317
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 3: well that doesn't alienate an older audience. It's about writing,

318
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 3: it's about style, it's about making a movie that's legitimately great.

319
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 2: And I totally agree with you.

320
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 3: I think young focus also, as we've always said, there

321
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 3: should always have been able to be movies for everyone.

322
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 3: That is what was so good about when DC was

323
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 3: crazy and throwing everything about against the wall is you

324
00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 3: could get a movie like The Batman and you could

325
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 3: get a movie Aquaman from the same studio completely allegedly

326
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,880
Speaker 3: the same demographic, but really completely different demographics.

327
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 2: And that's why Aquaman is.

328
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 3: Still the biggest success that DC's ever had, because kids

329
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 3: all around the world could watch it. That is what

330
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,479
Speaker 3: we're missing. I don't think that this Superman Dull movie

331
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 3: is gonna do it. I think that even though Superman

332
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 3: could have been that movie, I think it was too

333
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 3: story heavy. I think it didn't end up being toyatic enough.

334
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 3: It didn't make kids want to see it enough times

335
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 3: to get it to six hundred eight hundred mil globally.

336
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 3: You know, so, I think that you're right, Jason, we

337
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 3: got to go young. Also, when Disney owns all these things, Disney,

338
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 3: do you understand how much fucking money you would make

339
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 3: if you just made an animated superhero movie that you

340
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 3: released in the cinemas, like please please do it?

341
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 2: You could do it?

342
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 1: Well? This is this is where I do wonder. And

343
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 1: I loved Superman, and I've loved everything done is done,

344
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 1: I do.

345
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 2: I don't think it's got an.

346
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 1: Under I I am. I have serious questions at this point,

347
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,120
Speaker 1: and I think, as we have spoken about, he did

348
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 1: not direct this movie. Uh, this is Craig Gillespie. He's

349
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: doing the Supergol Supergol movie.

350
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,439
Speaker 3: He is producing and Craig Gillspie's only got bangers, by

351
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 3: the way, like Lars and The Real Girl Ionia, Like,

352
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 3: I understand, I understand why.

353
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:16,640
Speaker 2: They pick this man.

354
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 3: He has bangers historically, especially bangers about women.

355
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 2: But I don't think it's got the juice. It's not feelings.

356
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 1: You just think we need to I just think we

357
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,919
Speaker 1: need to figure out a way to ride what is

358
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:32,919
Speaker 1: currently the wave in cinemas right now, and that is

359
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: movies for young people. Like yes, and that's what comic books.

360
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 1: Movies should be, by the way, exactly, they're comic books.

361
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 1: So you've got to figure out how to encapsulate that

362
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 1: energy and portray it on the screen.

363
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 2: You know, one hundred percent, because you know what you're there.

364
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 3: This is so mainstream successful that there are movies that

365
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 3: many of our audiences may not even know existed, Like

366
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 3: Goat literally about playing Basketball. That movie was very, very

367
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:07,400
Speaker 3: financially successful, right Like that was an extremely successful kids movie.

368
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 3: I'm still getting emails about it from the PR team.

369
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 3: Like Jason said, to utopiated numbers, this is essentially like

370
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 3: almost a passive income for studios at this point because

371
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 3: kids are back in the cinemas.

372
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 2: So yeah, you're right, Jay said, youth, youth, youth. We

373
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 2: got to see who's gonna hit that market first.

374
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 3: Because that will really be the huge tell will be

375
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 3: if they start to realize that that market is even

376
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 3: younger now than it used to be. It's not that

377
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,119
Speaker 3: eighteen to twenty five market. It's that twelve to twenty

378
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 3: five market that you really want to.

379
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 1: And if you can grow with them, then you can

380
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: like you know the content.

381
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 2: Hey, that's what Spider Man's done.

382
