But honestly, it's 0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:24.600 just not my jam. It isn't okay fair enough. 0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:26.560 Well, you got two little kids, so you might have 0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:27.440 to get into all of it. 0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:28.880 I know who is yours. 0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:30.240 Batman's always been. 0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:33.280 To beat, Okay, Yeah, I think he's probably the best. 0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:33.560 Right. 0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:37.519 Well, it's also I'm a big fan of the fact 0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:38.760 that he's just a guy. 0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:40.760 You know. 0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:43.080 Yes, he's got a lot of money, and he uses 0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:44.440 a lot of gadgets and he does all that kind 0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:47.240 of stuff. But he's just a man. He has no superpowers, yes, 0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:51.080 he is, just has the will to make things better, right, 0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:53.600 So I think that that's and a guy that. 0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:55.639 Can make all those cool gadgets for him. 0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:58.040 That's exactly you know what you strike me as you 0:02:58.040 --> 0:03:04.160 strike me as a Booster Gold fan, what exactly exactly 0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:06.880 I'm gonna now. It's so funny because half of the 0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:10.120 audience just went what and half just went, oh, okay, 0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:12.040 I get it. Oh oh yeah, I have to go 0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:16.359 check it out. But either way, I'm telling you it's 0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:19.959 great anyway. Yes, welcome back to Magical Rewind, the show 0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:21.720 that makes you want to grab your friends, your pjs 0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:24.040 and your popcorn and go back to a time when 0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:26.799 all the houses were smart, the waves, tsunamis and the 0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:28.040 high schools and musical. 0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:31.240 I'm Wilfordlle and I'm Sabrina Brian Well. 0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:34.520 Welcome to Earth Protectors. Listening very closely to the following 0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:39.680 instructions because we're getting into two thousand's family superhero comedy, up, 0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:42.640 Up and away. This is an important one, believe it 0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:46.720 or not, folks, because this predates Pixars, The Incredibles, Sky High, 0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:49.200 and The Thunderman's This tcom is a bit of a 0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:52.560 trailblazer for many many reasons, though not super well received 0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:55.680 with its what we can only call dismal twenty seven 0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:59.080 percent rotten Tomato score and lack of inclusion on any 0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:03.760 of the lists, and for some reasons I disagree with that. 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:06.000 We'll get into it. Airing originally on January twenty second, 0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:08.000 two thousand, fresh off the fear of Y two K, 0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:10.400 which this movie appears to reflect a little bit. It 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:15.040 is produced by Heartbreak Productions, which is run by Paula Hart, 0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:18.559 the mom of Melissa Joan Hart. Paula is a friend 0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:21.200 and I texted her last night who not to go 0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:23.880 back to a conversation we were having before we actually 0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:26.880 started recording. Paula right now, well for a lot of 0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:28.840 the years, she lives in Paris, and she is one 0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:32.200 of the welcomers, greets and helpers at the Olympics right now, 0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:34.840 so she is doing a whole bunch of stuff there 0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:36.680 and sending up pictures in her outfit and everything. And 0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:38.159 when I said to her, Hey, we're doing up up 0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:40.040 in a way, she just sent back all these emojis 0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:42.640 like this is so great. So Paula's great, Melissa's. 0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:43.880 Great, that's rad, that's so cool. 0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:46.920 This is that's right. The Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Sabrina's Mom. 0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:48.680 This is her movie. A lot of people don't know 0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:51.119 that Paula Hart was an EP of Sabrina the Teenage Witch. 0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:54.640 Her story is absolutely incredible. She's the person who initially 0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:58.240 secured the rights for her daughter to star in Sabrina 0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:00.559 the Teenage Witch. And she's told us the stor story before. 0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:03.719 She literally walked in to the people that owned the rights, 0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:05.800 which I think was the Archie comic people, and ended 0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:11.200 up walking out securing the rights for a dollar. Wow thing. Ever, 0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:13.920 then she went on to produce around two dozen TV movies. 0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:16.680 Did you did you know that Mel's mom? That Melissa's mom. 0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:18.880 I had no idea that your company never Yeah, that 0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:22.800 is she was involved in Clarissa and involved then in 0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:26.720 Sabrina and all of Melissa's stuff. And Melissa and I 0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:29.000 are doing a film together and Paula is one of 0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:31.400 the producers of the film and I are doing su 0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:34.560 I Love. She was a Juggernaut and was. 0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:37.440 She a part of it before Melissa got the. 0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:39.080 Role Sabrina the teenage witch. 0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:41.920 No, Clarissa, No, I believe that Sabria. 0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:44.359 I think mel got the role as a kid, because 0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:46.600 that's when when she was on Clarissa is when she 0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:50.960 and I dated, Okay, so I think that was I 0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:54.599 mean she was thirteen or fourteen, we were both teenage. Yeah, 0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:57.680 we were both Nickelodeon kids. So I think that is 0:05:57.760 --> 0:06:01.880 when I believe she got the role. And then Paula 0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:04.080 got more involved in behind the scenes and then found 0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:06.440 Sabrina and then just was off to the races by right. 0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:08.520 Yes, wow, cool, But we'll. 0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:10.599 Get deeper into that aspect later. But yes, this is 0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:15.480 the first true Disney production with superheroes. Nowadays, with the 0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:18.240 company owning Marvel, the MCU is basically their bread and butter, 0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:19.520 and it's hard to think of a time when they 0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:22.640 weren't in the comic book business. But humble beginnings are 0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:26.040 right here with Up, Up and Away, which is even 0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:29.720 you know, kind of strange that again, this seems to 0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:32.600 be one of their first forays. Why it's hard to 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:34.640 believe that for that reason alone, it's not on some 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:37.520 of some people's best list, because hey, you know this 0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:38.919 is this is important for Disney. 0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:41.039 You know, we have so many different requests. I haven't 0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:44.200 even seen this come oh across our table as a 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:45.080 request to do. 0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:47.360 No, and I never heard of it. Not to jump ahead, 0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:51.480 but I'd never heard of it. Even mentions some of 0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:57.120 future Disney huge superheroes such as Spider Man and Mary 0:06:57.200 --> 0:06:59.960 Jane and people like that are all mentioned in this movie, 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:02.760 pre them having anything to do with Disney. Right if 0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:04.040 you want to watch along. By the way, the movie 0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:06.440 is currently streaming on Disney Plus, so it's just sitting 0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:08.680 there for you to watch now or you know, when 0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:10.920 we're done talking. But only you can fight forest fires, 0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:14.800 and only you can make that decision. This is all 0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:19.720 possible because the movie's director and star. But first you 0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:22.200 just mentioned that nobody had had talked about whether we 0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:23.520 should do this or not. Had you heard of Up 0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:24.040 Up and a Way? 0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:26.280 No, not at all, I owe neither. 0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:29.720 I was surprised when it was like, oh, this is 0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:33.080 a superhero Okay, I have never heard of a dcon 0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:36.120 that had superheroes in it, so that was interesting. 0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:39.480 I hadn't either. And the funny part about it is 0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:42.240 for the first time in a very long while, the 0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:47.200 title makes perfect sense. Right, Finally, this is not thirteenth 0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:51.760 Year or susieq. No, this is saying what it is. 0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:53.760 We didn't know what it was, but it's saying what 0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:56.560 it is, which is great. So before we throw soccer 0:07:56.600 --> 0:07:58.040 ball in the air and pretend to know how to fly, 0:07:58.200 --> 0:08:01.520 why don't we get into this. Anom, the only normal 0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:04.440 member of a superpowered family, feels left out and confused 0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:06.160 until he has a chance to use a talent of 0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:10.680 his own to save everyone around him. Early thoughts, what 0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:11.320 did you think? 0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:16.200 I was worried that I was gonna just not like, yeah, 0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:17.600 you know, because. 0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:20.000 I superheroes are your musicals. 0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:23.040 I know it, Yes they are. They are. 0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:23.840 We figured out. 0:08:23.920 --> 0:08:27.280 I was thinking, you know, as we're starting, and I'm like, okay, 0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:29.720 I did not understand the zucchini bread. 0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:30.800 Didn't get it. 0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:33.720 Yep, weren't supposed to warrants. 0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:36.760 Yes, exactly, but it's it was kind of at first 0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:40.120 going and then I just kind of I just I 0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:42.880 just really sat back and relaxed and was like. 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:44.120 This is cute. 0:08:44.600 --> 0:08:47.040 It's cute for Disney, you know what I mean. It's 0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:50.920 it wasn't super crazy they had. I mean, it felt 0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:53.720 like the first three or four minutes of the movie, 0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:57.920 so many familiar faces that are toppen in and you're going, wow, 0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:01.160 this cast is stacked, you know, right, And that was 0:09:01.240 --> 0:09:04.000 really cool because I love a lot of those actors 0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:06.560 and the shows that you really recognize them from. But 0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:09.560 so first I was I was cautious. I was kind 0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:12.280 of like ah Man, and I actually loved it. Ended 0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:14.080 up liking it so much more than what I was 0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:14.319 thinking of. 0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:18.640 Me too, I felt the same way, although I it 0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:19.960 was one of those things. One of the reasons I 0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:21.960 loved it not just because the superheroes, not because I 0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:25.120 saw how it helped to pave the way for the genre, 0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:28.080 but also, like Susie Q, this to me was another 0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:31.280 bridging the gap between what dcoms used to be and 0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:32.920 what they eventually became. 0:09:33.240 --> 0:09:36.160 Yes, totally great cast, fun. 0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:38.640 Some of the effects weren't great, but some of them, 0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:40.600 I thought, for their time and the and I think 0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:44.400 budget were not bad at all. Right, the main kid 0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:46.040 was likable as hell. 0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:49.520 So such a doll. Oh, I just loved him. 0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:53.120 Yeah, I overall it was fun. It was a fun 0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:57.000 time to watch it. Really was. I've seen way worse. 0:09:57.320 --> 0:09:59.600 We have definitely see the way. 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:03.200 And that's why the twenty seven percent shock throws me. 0:10:03.480 --> 0:10:04.240 Yeah, it did. 0:10:04.280 --> 0:10:08.040 It shocked me because I think it's it's definitely one 0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:10.679 of the better ones than than what we've seen so far. 0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:13.440 You know, fun wasn't Descendants for me. 0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:16.920 You know, it wasn't that for me. It wasn't going 0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:19.679 to the mat It wasn't you know, it wasn't Color 0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:20.280 of Friendship. 0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:24.040 Honestly, I did think that the that the message behind 0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:25.240 it was really cool. 0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:27.000 Though I did like the message. 0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:29.000 I feel the same way now. I already told you 0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:31.280 this entire movie was possible because of one man, and 0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:34.160 that one man is Robert Townsend, who not only directed 0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:36.559 the movie, he stars in it as Jim Marshall aka 0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:39.679 Bronze Eagle, the dad of your typical suburban family who 0:10:39.760 --> 0:10:43.520 moonlights as superheroes. Townsend did the unthinkable with this movie, 0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:46.280 as Disney continued to be very progressive with these t coms, 0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:48.600 not only focusing on a black family, but creating the 0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:53.240 studios first and technically TV's first black superhero way before 0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:56.520 they entered Wakanda. And this makes sense for Townsend, who 0:10:56.559 --> 0:10:58.599 began his career as a comedian who lost out to 0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:00.800 Eddie Murphy in an audition to be come an SNL 0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:04.000 cast member. Instead, he'd write, direct, and produce a movie 0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:06.840 in nineteen eighty seven called Hollywood Shuffle Great Movie, a 0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:10.360 semi autobiographical satire of what it was like trying to 0:11:10.480 --> 0:11:12.640 enter the film industry as a black man. It was 0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:14.959 a big surprise hit, and that led to directing other 0:11:15.000 --> 0:11:17.640 movies like The Five Heartbeats Eddie Murphy Raw and the 0:11:17.679 --> 0:11:20.680 nineteen ninety three comedy meteor Man, which made him the 0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:24.640 first black superhero in a movie ever Unreal Wow. He'd 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:27.040 also create a bunch of TV shows like WB's The 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:30.480 Parenthood and be ET's American Soul. He returned to being 0:11:30.520 --> 0:11:33.280 a superhero in twenty nineteen on the TV show Black Lightning, 0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:36.280 the first network TV show about a black superhero, which 0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:39.480 he also directed, and is currently seen on the massive 0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:41.960 hit TV show and My Wife and I's Favorite Show 0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:44.559 Right Now, The Bear as Sydney's dad. The Man is 0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:47.680 a pioneer and a legend period. He is amazing. 0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:48.200 Wow. 0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:51.600 Alex Datcher is Judy Marshall aka Warrior Woman, the mom 0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:53.680 of the family Datuer was a TV veteran who stops 0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:56.680 on hanging with mister Cooper Martin, Sister Sister and good Behavior, 0:11:56.960 --> 0:11:59.960 but is best known for bigger roles in movies Paulish, 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:02.960 That's Yours, Jury Duty and one of my favorite action 0:12:03.080 --> 0:12:06.719 movies of all time, Passenger fifty seven. Great movie. The 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:09.240 lead of the film, Scott Marshall, the less than super 0:12:09.679 --> 0:12:12.160 youngest son of the family, is played by Michael Pagan. 0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:14.560 Pagan appeared in some big movies like How Stella Got 0:12:14.559 --> 0:12:17.440 Aur Groove Back, Gridiron, Gang with the Rock, and Denzel's Fallen, 0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:19.240 but appears to have gotten out of the business in 0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:22.560 twenty fourteen. The villain of the film, Malcolm, is played 0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:25.200 by Kevin Connolly, and I laughed when I saw kevinkaman screen. 0:12:25.240 --> 0:12:27.000 We'll get into that. Best known as e from the 0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:29.600 HBO show Entourage, but he was also a very successful 0:12:29.640 --> 0:12:33.240 child actor, starring off as Rocky Sun's best friend in 0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:35.320 Rocky five and then as a lead on the show 0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:37.920 Unhappily Ever After, which also starred a puppet and my 0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:42.839 ex girlfriend. The other thing is that when I was 0:12:42.840 --> 0:12:46.120 a Nickelodeon kid, the first show I ever did was 0:12:46.160 --> 0:12:48.559 a show called Don't Just Sit There, And the final 0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:50.840 audition for Don't Just Sit There was I had to 0:12:50.880 --> 0:12:53.680 actually do an episode of the show with the other 0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:57.400 kid that was supposed to it was between the two 0:12:57.440 --> 0:12:59.439 of us, and our final audition was literally the two 0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:02.480 of us hosts an actual show together, and the other 0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:05.360 kid was Kevin Connolly. So when I would run into 0:13:05.400 --> 0:13:07.520 Kevin years later, he would always say, oh, look, you 0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:09.720 still got the one job that I wanted on Nickelodeon. 0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:15.680 Very good guy, very funny. Also his right hand well 0:13:15.720 --> 0:13:19.400 we think evil person with him. The girl who was 0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:21.680 with him is played by Olivia Burnett, who was also 0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:25.400 a mainstay on television, Michael Jacob's mainstay on shows like 0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:28.640 The Torkulsins and Almost Home, Very very popular. Was also 0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:32.199 in She was wonderful, but the movie was terrible. It 0:13:32.240 --> 0:13:34.560 was called The Gift of Love, starring Andy Griffith. She 0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:38.240 played a drifter girl who befriends Andy Griffith after he 0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:41.520 takes his grandson's heart after his grandson was killed in 0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:45.319 an accident. His grandson had the worst Southern accent in 0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:49.160 any movie of all time. It was an absolutely horrible 0:13:49.200 --> 0:13:52.079 performance by this actor, but in all fairness, they only 0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:55.280 gave me two days to study before I knew what 0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:56.839 I was doing when I got there, and then when 0:13:56.840 --> 0:13:58.360 I got there they told me I had to have 0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:02.200 an accent the last day. So not fair. But the 0:14:02.640 --> 0:14:05.120 actor was terrible. He was a young Wilferdell. 0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:05.600 That was. 0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:11.480 Anybody who can find gift of love. I'd like to 0:14:11.520 --> 0:14:15.560 say I'm sorry, but Olivia was great. And lastly, in 0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:18.000 the Dabney Coleman chair, May he rest in peace, Dabney, 0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:22.720 It's Sherman Hemsley. A TV icon for his time. George 0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:27.560 Jefferson himself on The Jeffersons arguably a top ten sitcom 0:14:27.640 --> 0:14:30.720 character of all time, if not top five of all time. 0:14:32.040 --> 0:14:34.240 There you could argue top two or three. It was 0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:36.760 one of the greatest characters in history, starting on an 0:14:36.840 --> 0:14:41.520 archie bunker and then spinning off absolutely unbelievable. He plays 0:14:41.520 --> 0:14:45.640 the Grandpa Edward Marshall aka Steele Condor hilariously in Meteorman 0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:47.920 Townsend also cast a different Jefferson to play one of 0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:49.760 his parents. That time, it was Marla Gibbs, known as 0:14:49.760 --> 0:14:55.160 Floras Johnston to Jefferson fans. The movie is seventy eight minutes, 0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:57.160 which with commercials will make it to an hour and 0:14:57.200 --> 0:14:58.720 a half, but that doesn't count for the bulls Eye. 0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:00.800 We hit the bulls Eye once with Susan. I think 0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:04.240 that's gonna be our pinnacle. So no awesome music this week. 0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:08.000 As we said, it's directed by Townsend, who was a 0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:10.640 big get for Disney, but it was written by Dan Berenson, 0:15:10.640 --> 0:15:13.000 who did a lot for Sabrina, which is probably the 0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:15.680 connection to Paula and Melissa. But he also wrote and 0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:20.720 get ready for this, Stuck in the Suburbs, Halloween Town High, Twitches, 0:15:21.080 --> 0:15:24.320 Hannah Montana, the movie Wizards of Waverley Place, the movie 0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:27.640 Camp Rock, to Teen Beach two, and The Cheetah Girls 0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:30.560 One Word. So he is obviously someone we're going to 0:15:30.600 --> 0:15:33.320 talk about quite a bit and is on this podcast 0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:36.720 to stay wow. And hopefully we can get Dan on 0:15:36.760 --> 0:15:39.400 the podcast. I would love to be honest, because he 0:15:39.400 --> 0:15:42.400 seems to have written just about everything we've already talked about. 0:15:42.480 --> 0:15:45.480 Whether you're into superheroes and superhero movies, you, of course, 0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:48.680 opinions are personal and they don't matter, But you gave 0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:50.960 the wrong answer by saying you did not like superheroes 0:15:50.960 --> 0:15:54.840 at all. Now I know, I'm just waiting for either 0:15:54.920 --> 0:15:59.240 your son or your daughter to become superhero fanatically, and 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:02.640 you've got to learn the backstory of all these aciteric 0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:07.440 multiple earths and parallel dimensions and everything. Oh man, by 0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:09.240 the way, I have a new movie out called Crisis 0:16:09.240 --> 0:16:11.040 on Infinite Nurse three. Go check that out right now 0:16:11.080 --> 0:16:14.080 and each other. Oh sorry, just telling people anyway. 0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:18.800 I did see Aquaman a bunch of times, because I 0:16:18.800 --> 0:16:19.480 will have the. 0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:21.680 One that's the one you went to was Aquaman. 0:16:21.920 --> 0:16:23.080 I did not go to it. 0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:25.360 I have just seen it a bunch because when we 0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:28.360 were on our cruise for our honeymoon. When you're on 0:16:28.400 --> 0:16:31.560 a cruise ship, there's like seven channels that work, right, 0:16:31.640 --> 0:16:33.440 one of them is a movie channel, and it just 0:16:33.560 --> 0:16:34.040 kind of rea. 0:16:34.680 --> 0:16:37.080 Aquaman the King of the Sea, where he can cause 0:16:37.200 --> 0:16:39.160 boats to sink and everything. This is what they're playing 0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:39.720 on the cruise. 0:16:39.760 --> 0:16:44.560 So I watched it in like fifteen minute increments, sometimes 0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:47.320 the same one over in freaking just whenever it was 0:16:47.360 --> 0:16:48.080 on the TV. 0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:51.400 I did watch that one a lot, Okay, But I. 0:16:51.400 --> 0:16:54.400 Was a fan of that actor because I love Game 0:16:54.440 --> 0:16:56.600 of Throne, so I was like, okay with. 0:16:56.640 --> 0:16:59.680 That Jason Momoa, Yeah, yes, you like the big burly 0:16:59.760 --> 0:17:02.240 guy with the long hair who can throw you over 0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:03.200 the back of a horse. I don't know. 0:17:03.360 --> 0:17:06.760 That is not my type at it's really no. 0:17:06.880 --> 0:17:07.480 Susan's either. 0:17:08.000 --> 0:17:11.000 At the same time, I liked him in Game of Thrones, 0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:11.720 so he's great. 0:17:11.760 --> 0:17:13.520 No, he was great. He was the douth Rackey leader. 0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:15.439 He was great. He's he's also I've met him at 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:17.440 many conventions of it. Was always a very nice guy 0:17:17.480 --> 0:17:20.440 to me. Yeah, but it is. We won't get into 0:17:20.440 --> 0:17:22.760 my love of superhero movies. Here's the thing. I hate 0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:25.239 to say it, but I'm starting to get it's too 0:17:25.320 --> 0:17:26.760 much now everything's a superhero. 0:17:26.920 --> 0:17:29.119 It's a lot the original. 0:17:28.720 --> 0:17:32.120 MCU, the those first movies Ironman also, oh so good. 0:17:32.240 --> 0:17:34.680 Now they're all television shows and everything else, they're all 0:17:35.080 --> 0:17:36.400 it's it's too much now. 0:17:36.760 --> 0:17:37.359 Yeah. 0:17:37.480 --> 0:17:39.639 No, It's tough to remember a time when superhero movies 0:17:39.680 --> 0:17:43.000 didn't rule the world, but this was way ahead of 0:17:43.000 --> 0:17:45.920 its time. For one, it did the unthinkable. It mentions 0:17:46.000 --> 0:17:50.239 both Spider Man and Superman in one script, meaning in 0:17:50.320 --> 0:17:53.520 this movie they exist in the same universe. So maybe 0:17:53.520 --> 0:17:56.600 this is the start of the MCU. Possibly Hilariously, Comic 0:17:56.600 --> 0:17:58.800 book heroes were so under used in movies and TV 0:17:58.840 --> 0:18:01.560 at the time almost consider poisoned creatively that up, Up 0:18:01.600 --> 0:18:04.399 and Away didn't even clear using the superhero names in 0:18:04.440 --> 0:18:07.600 the movie with Marvel or DC, other than kind of 0:18:07.640 --> 0:18:12.520 the seventies with the original Superman movies and then the 0:18:12.640 --> 0:18:15.359 eighties with at least the first two because they were 0:18:15.359 --> 0:18:18.679 Tim Burton Batman movies superheroes. That was kind of it, 0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:21.000 and then there was a bit of a lull. They 0:18:21.040 --> 0:18:24.720 then went to animation, which was my world, and animated superheroes, 0:18:24.760 --> 0:18:27.960 especially during the Bruce Tim time, all that kind of stuff. Batman, 0:18:28.000 --> 0:18:31.440 the animated series Batman Beyond Justice League, all those were 0:18:31.520 --> 0:18:34.000 phenomenally good, but it wasn't really on the big screen. 0:18:34.000 --> 0:18:36.200 And then it came back, of course with Christopher Nolan Batman, 0:18:36.240 --> 0:18:37.800 and then they started the MCU and they did all 0:18:37.840 --> 0:18:40.000 that kind of stuff and now it's everywhere. 0:18:40.240 --> 0:18:42.080 Yes, And when they mentioned it, I feel like it 0:18:42.119 --> 0:18:45.240 was like, oh oh, like you're expecting them to make 0:18:45.359 --> 0:18:47.959 up some ones that you've never heard of, and they 0:18:48.000 --> 0:18:48.240 did it. 0:18:48.400 --> 0:18:50.680 They did, and it was like, oh, okay. 0:18:50.720 --> 0:19:01.560 Neat kind of neat all right, so let's get into it. 0:19:01.600 --> 0:19:04.320
