Speaker 4: Year in the joyous world of pop culture, movies, video games,
Speaker 4: and TV shows. Well, we will let you know right here,
Speaker 4: because we're gonna talk about what we are excited about.
Speaker 1: Let's dive in to the calendar year of twenty twenty five. Wash,
Speaker 1: we're going into the future. We're stepping out of the portal,
Speaker 1: the time portal, and we have arrived in twenty twenty
Speaker 1: five to talk about some of the things that we
Speaker 1: are very very excited about. And we will go in
Speaker 1: chronological order, first January in only a few weeks time.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 2: Lee Wennell brings us the Wolfman.
Speaker 3: I'm very weird about this.
Speaker 1: Charlie, Marnie's boyfriend from Girls turns into a werewolf.
Speaker 2: I'm excited.
Speaker 1: I think Leewanod's got a great take on classic horror
Speaker 1: and I am.
Speaker 4: Very excited, very smart to go back to Lewano for
Speaker 4: this one. If you didn't see his Invisible Man, great
Speaker 4: time to check it out now. Just absolutely fantastic, terrifying.
Speaker 1: Very scary.
Speaker 4: Yeah, very scary, very analogous, very interesting, very of its time.
Speaker 4: It came out twenty twenty, just before COVID really hit.
Speaker 4: It was one of the last big successful movies one
Speaker 4: hundred million dollar opening weekend. I'm hearing that this is
Speaker 4: a very.
Speaker 3: Scary, straight down the line horror movie.
Speaker 4: I love the main actor, Charlie from Girls, because he
Speaker 4: was also in the really weird, scary Brandon Cronenberg movie Possessor,
Speaker 4: which is another great one you should check out. He's
Speaker 4: a wonderful actor. So yeah, that's gonna be very exciting.
Speaker 4: And that is like a you're not gonna kind of
Speaker 4: believe how heavy twenty twenty five starts off.
Speaker 3: There's not a lot of breaks.
Speaker 4: We usually think of January February March as like a
Speaker 4: hibernation time. Maybe there'll be a couple of surprising movies
Speaker 4: that make a big hit. But obviously get Out kind
Speaker 4: of changed that with the February release a few years ago.
Speaker 4: That then made February like a big blockbuster time. So yeah, January,
Speaker 4: Wolfman can't wait. We've also got fingers crossed. I think
Speaker 4: that the Spider Man cartoon is supposed to be coming out,
Speaker 4: The highly awaited Friendly Neighborhood Spider Man cartoon from Disney.
Speaker 4: I believe that is coming out in January.
Speaker 3: And that looks great. I love it.
Speaker 4: It's Jeff Trammel from who worked on a lot of
Speaker 4: Craig Up the Creek. Just absolutely fantastic and it looks great.
Speaker 3: It looks really fresh.
Speaker 4: We covered the tray law just like a fun Peter
Speaker 4: Parker take. But from what we've seen, it's definitely gonna
Speaker 4: have multiple spiders in Bolt.
Speaker 1: Next up, also in January, the fourth season of Mythic
Speaker 1: Quest is dropping on Apple TV Plus, meaning nobody watches
Speaker 1: this show.
Speaker 3: But but it's actually really good.
Speaker 1: But it's really good. And I will say of Mythic Quest,
Speaker 1: I think they've got like two of the best bottle episodes.
Speaker 1: In recent TV.
Speaker 3: They do have like community level bottle episodes.
Speaker 1: Yes, and is it a bottle episode tech?
Speaker 2: I think it's.
Speaker 1: Technically, I think it's. And and if you've got Apple
Speaker 1: TV Plus, if you don't have it, you can get it.
Speaker 3: Literally, you can just go.
Speaker 1: Next time you buy a phone, I'll give it.
Speaker 3: Not even just that.
Speaker 4: Anytime you shop at Target, they'll probably offer you a
Speaker 4: three month Apple TV Plus. If you go to best
Speaker 4: Buy a lot of times you don't even know. If
Speaker 4: you go to best buy dot Com, you don't even
Speaker 4: have to pay, and you can get a free three
Speaker 4: month trial for Apple TV Plus. I have utilized this
Speaker 4: many times. And there is really some of the best
Speaker 4: TV getting made is.
Speaker 1: On there, Mythiquest being one of those things.
Speaker 2: Very very fun show.
Speaker 4: Severance season two is about to come back as well,
Speaker 4: so it's another great one.
Speaker 1: The much beleaguered season two of Severance is a program.
Speaker 3: Was it ever gonna get made?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 3: It looks like it is. I can't wait. Oh.
Speaker 4: Severance also in January, so perfect timing to mention it
Speaker 4: good for us.
Speaker 1: Let's go to February.
Speaker 3: Oh wow, uh oh.
Speaker 1: And starting with the first, what do we do we
Speaker 1: think it'll be good. February Captain RecA New World, multiple reshoots,
Speaker 1: multiple re edits, multiple character inclosure, controversial character inclusions, terrible
Speaker 1: test scores.
Speaker 2: On and on and on and on.
Speaker 1: Folks, will it be good? I guess the reason that
Speaker 1: Chris Evans has been tapped to return to THEMCU we
Speaker 1: don't know.
Speaker 3: We don't spot.
Speaker 1: We will be there to watch this movie and tell
Speaker 1: you if it is good.
Speaker 4: And you know what, I hope it's good because I
Speaker 4: love Isaiah Bradley. I love that introspective, interesting reality of
Speaker 4: what it would look like for a Captain America Super
Speaker 4: Soldier program to exist.
Speaker 3: I want to see Harrison Ford getting his money. I
Speaker 3: still just love him.
Speaker 4: Good for you, play the President, play Red Hult, get cgi'ed.
Speaker 3: But yeah, will it be good? I don't know.
Speaker 4: It's gonna be an interesting, big swing start for Marvel
Speaker 4: in what we can at the moment say, is probably
Speaker 4: gonna be the year of Superman. So it's kind of
Speaker 4: wild that Marvel's gonna start so early, and then you know,
Speaker 4: obviously we'll be waiting until summer to see how how
Speaker 4: Superman hits. But yeah, gonna be interesting.
Speaker 1: I will say this, Yeah, I mean you put your
Speaker 1: finger on it. It's you know, February Captain America Braver World,
Speaker 1: and then we won't have a new Marvel movie until May.
Speaker 1: And it's clear that Marvel thinks that.
Speaker 3: Is gonna be the big one, gonna be a good one.
Speaker 1: But that's a long time. If Captain America Brave, New
Speaker 1: World stiffs, if it's bad, if it's poorly received, that's
Speaker 1: a long time to be in a negative yep, like
Speaker 1: a negative buzzy.
Speaker 4: So why they have so much TV scheduled and kind
Speaker 4: of stuff to distract people? Basically, Okay, another one I'm
Speaker 4: excited for in February also, I mean coming out actually
Speaker 4: surprisingly soon after his smash hit are Super producer commons
Speaker 4: favorite movie Long Legs. Ozgod Perkins, son of Anthony Perkins,
Speaker 4: is coming back with a new horror movie produced by
Speaker 4: James wand and it is called The Monkey. It's adapting
Speaker 4: a Stephen King's story. The trailers look terrifying, very scary,
Speaker 4: very scary, very atmospheric.
Speaker 3: I'm sure it's going to be great. It will be interesting.
Speaker 4: They put it in that February I think they put
Speaker 4: it in that February spot because they were like This
Speaker 4: could be the counter programming to Captain America Brave New Weld.
Speaker 4: This could be the horror movie that makes one hundred
Speaker 4: milli in the opening weekend.
Speaker 1: I love Stephen King. I especially love a Stephen King
Speaker 1: short stories.
Speaker 3: I think that.
Speaker 2: Exact movie.
Speaker 1: If you look at the adaptations, I think you could
Speaker 1: fairly argue that his short stories more influential cinematically than
Speaker 1: his full length novels. Stand by Me exactly.
Speaker 2: You know, you could go on it, you could go
Speaker 2: on and on.
Speaker 1: But there's you know, appt Pupil, There's a running Man.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of these, and they're all they all
Speaker 1: come from the wonderful short stories of Seeing King. I
Speaker 1: am super excited for this one as well. It's a
Speaker 1: very creepy monkey par type story, and that you're right
Speaker 1: is very scary.
Speaker 3: It's very scary. Also, we got to shout out because
Speaker 3: we covered season two.
Speaker 4: We were very interested to see where it would go
Speaker 4: Yellow Jacket season three, it's coming.
Speaker 3: Can they land the Land? I want to see.
Speaker 4: I want to know what is going to happen, especially
Speaker 4: after spoiler alert.
Speaker 3: I'll do it vague.
Speaker 4: But they lost one of their strongest cast members with
Speaker 4: the events of the season two finale, very interested to
Speaker 4: see what happens next.
Speaker 3: What about March, I mean, this is.
Speaker 4: Where Marvel I think is coming with their We don't
Speaker 4: think this one's gonna flop like Captain America, Brave New World,
Speaker 4: We're not sure, but Dead, Evil, Born Again, this is
Speaker 4: gonna be the one that has people talking.
Speaker 1: And a lot of interesting conversation around this movie about
Speaker 1: how it's a different tone for Disney, about how they're
Speaker 1: really diving into the grittiness, about how they're bringing back
Speaker 1: some of the story lines from the Netflix series. Uh
Speaker 1: you and I are huge fans of this particular story
Speaker 1: some details aside, of course, but it's a legendary story
Speaker 1: and I think it makes a lot of sense to
Speaker 1: bring it to the screen. And I hope that they
Speaker 1: managed to capture some of the high points of the
Speaker 1: of the Netflix Stair Devil series, which I think, when
Speaker 1: it was good, was truly great. Like even I agree,
Speaker 1: I think there were too many episodes in every season.
Speaker 1: That said, every single season of Netflix's Daredevil had at
Speaker 1: least two reaction moments that made you go holy shit,
Speaker 1: And if they can capture that, it'll be awesome.
Speaker 4: I also think as well, like it's it's hard to
Speaker 4: understate how much impact those shows had. I mean they
Speaker 4: even changed the way people were making opening credits. That
Speaker 4: Dare Devil opening credits where it's like the AUTI melting head.
Speaker 4: So however, like that influenced the way they were making
Speaker 4: Prestige TV opening credits to this day.
Speaker 3: So I'm excited to see that.
Speaker 4: Also extremely weird but kind of official, you know, recognition
Speaker 4: of these characters being in this space.
Speaker 3: In the what if episode that came.
Speaker 4: Out recently, very controversial episode about Howard the Duck and
Speaker 4: Darcy giving an egg, there is actually a moment where
Speaker 4: they're on the grand Master's Grand Cruise about to eat
Speaker 4: the baby's the baby egg.
Speaker 3: This is all real, guys.
Speaker 4: Sorry there was a spoiler, but you will have already
Speaker 4: watched it at this point. But in that moment, Karen
Speaker 4: Page and Matt Murdoch are at that table about to
Speaker 4: eat that egg. So they're really in it now, like
Speaker 4: you're in You're in it. You're gonna be in a
Speaker 4: weird egg storyline, like it's you're in the Marvel universe
Speaker 4: for better or worse.
Speaker 3: But yeah, come wait to see that. I really want
Speaker 3: to see if Echo makes it in.
Speaker 4: I really want to see if some of the original
Speaker 4: series ideas before they did the full reshoot of it
Speaker 4: being more of a courtroom drama make it in. I
Speaker 4: thought that was very interesting. I want to see is
Speaker 4: Kinkin still superpowered. I want to see the return of Bullseye,
Speaker 4: what an incredible character like. I think there's a lot
Speaker 4: to be excited about. And I personally loved the combined
Speaker 4: MCU Netflix tone that Hawkeye with the introduction of Kingpin
Speaker 4: and Echoes managed to balance.
Speaker 3: So I really hope we get that.
Speaker 4: I don't need it to go full Netflix dark with
Speaker 4: like explicit sex scenes and stuff, but I would love
Speaker 4: to see that combined kind of tone because I think
Speaker 4: that's something new for Marvel and I think is very exciting.
Speaker 1: Same Also March, Greta Gerwig's first post Barbie movie. Screenplay
Speaker 1: by Greta Gerwag and Aaron Crista Wilson. The film, directive
Speaker 1: by Mark web is the live action adaptation of Snow
Speaker 1: White Stelzeglar Greta going Greta Growig On on the pen.
Speaker 3: This has been a very controversial movie.
Speaker 4: As you're normal, complaining, disabled person, I am here to
Speaker 4: say I am very pissed off about these CGI dwarves.
Speaker 3: I think that's a terrible idea, Like are we still
Speaker 3: live and telling job like pa, and maybe like look.
Speaker 4: Into the way that that has been portrayed and the
Speaker 4: way that disability has been portrayed in fairy Tales. Obviously
Speaker 4: controversial casting of Galgano. Also controversial because sweet Rachel Zegler,
Speaker 4: who I do I think is very talented, she was
Speaker 4: given it's a Greta going script, so I totally understand this.
Speaker 4: And obviously the press note she was given is like feminist,
Speaker 4: like she's gonna save herself, like because snow White has
Speaker 4: one of the most famous non consensual kissing sequences in
Speaker 4: fairy tale children's literature, and it hasn't necessarily been received
Speaker 4: well by fans of the original or people who just
Speaker 4: hate women. So I'm I'm rooting for her.
Speaker 3: But also it is.
Speaker 4: Rare that one of these live action Disney movies really
Speaker 4: hits for me.
Speaker 1: The live action experiment in general, I think has been
Speaker 1: I think we can say has been fairly spotty.
Speaker 4: Fairly spotty, I think that's a great way of putting it.
Speaker 4: But let's see, let's see what happens, it will probably
Speaker 4: make Disney a lot of money, because they always do,
Speaker 4: even the ones, even the.
Speaker 3: Ones you think you haven't, you'll be like, that is right.
Speaker 4: Cinderella the remake, I guess what it made, like hundreds
Speaker 4: of millions of dollars, So I'm sure though, I will
Speaker 4: say Mafasa it didn't have that big opening they were
Speaker 4: thinking of, maybe it's gonna have those legs. So this
Speaker 4: could be an interesting year for Disney because they got
Speaker 4: some big Hitsmila.
Speaker 1: Is a tough one because it's like they're just anyway
Speaker 1: up next April, Oh Baby, and Or season two.
Speaker 3: It's the most expensive.
Speaker 4: Star War was the thing that's ever been made, six
Speaker 4: hundred and fifty million dollars.
Speaker 3: How did that happen?
Speaker 1: They are dropping the bag on and Or season two.
Speaker 1: I was surprised by this number simply because obviously and
Speaker 1: Or a huge critical hit.
Speaker 3: But was not that not like a subscription driver that
Speaker 3: they usually look at.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I'm surprised that said. Star Wars. I think
Speaker 1: needs some positive pub right now, seeing as how there's
Speaker 1: the movies are very very far away at this point.
Speaker 1: We don't know when we're gonna get another Star Wars movie,
Speaker 1: So it's.
Speaker 3: Been a long time since we had one.
Speaker 1: It's been a long time since we had one. We
Speaker 1: don't know where we're gonna get another one, so I
Speaker 1: think certainly we would expect that and or season two
Speaker 1: is going to be critically beloved and we are tremendously,
Speaker 1: tremendously excited.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and honestly, like spend money on something that's good Disney,
Speaker 4: Like we always say it, like obviously you know me,
Speaker 4: I'm a little bleeding hot guy. I'm like, that's a
Speaker 4: one hundred and fifty million dollars could have gone to
Speaker 4: so many different things, but it's not.
Speaker 3: It's getting spent by Disney.
Speaker 4: And at least they're spending it on a show that
Speaker 4: is impactful and interesting and thoughtful. And I hope a
Speaker 4: lot of the cast and crew got great money from this.
Speaker 3: And I'm very excited.
Speaker 4: And speaking of another space thing that we are excited for,
Speaker 4: Bong Jun, who's post parasite movie starring Robert Pattinson doing
Speaker 4: a silly voice Mickey seventeen. It's coming out and I'm
Speaker 4: very excited. I love it when Robert Pattinson does a
Speaker 4: silly voice.
Speaker 2: I love same.
Speaker 5: Bong Ju to an event, it's an event, and when
Speaker 5: it's an event, when Bong Jo who releases a movie,
Speaker 5: and it's an event when Pattinson says, you know what,
Speaker 5: let me let me go into my box of strange voices, Yes,
Speaker 5: and just pick a crazy one.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: And apparently he actually the first voice he did bo
Speaker 4: Jin who turned down because I think he was trying
Speaker 4: to do like a kind of like stoner surfer guy
Speaker 4: voice or so it was like a really ridiculous pull
Speaker 4: when you.
Speaker 3: See what the comparison was. But guess what he turned down.
Speaker 4: This is based on a novel called Mickey seven, which
Speaker 4: is a very fun kind of like I would say,
Speaker 4: like quite a simplistic, like enjoyable sci fi novel, and
Speaker 4: the concept is that Robert Pattinson's character he essentially signed
Speaker 4: up to be a replaceable clone who gets sent on
Speaker 4: crazy missions and dies every time, and then it's kind
Speaker 4: of reborn with the memories of his previous self and
Speaker 4: there is a strange occurrence where he may not be
Speaker 4: the only Mickey, and then that kind of sets him
Speaker 4: on like.
Speaker 3: A moral wild romp.
Speaker 4: This is also Bon Jinghun's first English movie since Snowpiser,
Speaker 4: which Snowpistler, very underrated, go back and watch it.
Speaker 3: It's great.
Speaker 4: Also has one of my legendary film moments from Hollywood history,
Speaker 4: which is that bon Jinghoun wanted to keep a scene
Speaker 4: in with a fish being like butchered, and Harvey Weinstein
Speaker 4: was like, no, you can and have that scene. Americans
Speaker 4: don't want to see it, and Bonging Who is like,
Speaker 4: my dad was a fisherman, I need to keep it
Speaker 4: in there, and Harvey was like, okay, but that was
Speaker 4: just a lie. So Famous lied to Harvey wat great, great.
Speaker 1: Who moment, fantastic Bonglore up next May Thunderbolts, Oh asterisk?
Speaker 2: Is it gonna be good?
Speaker 1: It certainly seems as if Disney slash Marvel slash Kevin
Speaker 1: Fagging believe that it will.
Speaker 3: Be big pre Comic Book Day movie.
Speaker 4: It's been a while since we had a comic book
Speaker 4: movie on free Comic Book Day weekend, and this trailer
Speaker 4: that they cut together looks like it's fantastic. And the
Speaker 4: best episode of What If Season three is the episode
Speaker 4: that seems to directly correlate to the chemistry that in
Speaker 4: this movie, which is the chemistry between Red Guardian and Bucky.
Speaker 3: I'm excited for this.
Speaker 4: I was not excited before that trailer, but I think
Speaker 4: they've got something really interesting here. A little bit Phase
Speaker 4: one in its tone, a little bit sassy, a little
Speaker 4: bit you know, meta, a little bit funky, a little
Speaker 4: bit referential to other action movies that have come before it,
Speaker 4: kind of like The Winter Soldier was with Cold War movies.
Speaker 3: So yeah, this looks it looks great. I'm excited for it.
Speaker 1: Is Bob the Century? We seem to have a soft confidence. Yes,
Speaker 1: I think it is the Central Century, which because the
Speaker 1: century is the century like a superpowered guy.
Speaker 3: That's the question.
Speaker 1: And do they go the full alternate? Also long century?
Speaker 4: Is it?
Speaker 2: Everybody forgot about?
Speaker 4: A long leading kind of like almost like an Agent
Speaker 4: Coulson style character where you just have Bob and nobody
Speaker 4: really knows who he is, and then you post credits
Speaker 4: seen him it's the Century.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I still long for the version where
Speaker 3: this was Steven Num.
Speaker 4: But you know what, that's all good because I'm happy
Speaker 4: for him, and I hope he's living his best life,
Speaker 4: probably working on some incredible movie. In fact, he has
Speaker 4: a movie coming out in twenty twenty five with Kristin Stewart.
Speaker 4: I believe it is called Love Me, and it is
Speaker 4: about them being a boy and like a space shuttle
Speaker 4: who fall in love. So sure, I'm sure that would
Speaker 4: be great. Also in may Lelo and Stitch Live Action.
Speaker 4: Speaking of my action, people seem excited for this one
Speaker 4: because the redesign on Stitch looks cool. The little girl
Speaker 4: who is playing Lelo is very sassy. I've seen her
Speaker 4: in a lot of funny interviews, and you know what,
Speaker 4: if there's one that I'm rooting for to work, it's
Speaker 4: this one because this movie meets so much for people.
Speaker 2: I was vacationing in.
Speaker 1: Kauhi, the Island, the beautiful Garden Island of Kawhi late
Speaker 1: last summer and I passed through Hauntera, Pepe, which is
Speaker 1: the town where Lelo is from, and they have wonderful
Speaker 1: like Lelo murals all over the place. It is definitely
Speaker 1: a claim of fame. So I'm rooting for this one, folks.
Speaker 1: For I'm hoping this one is good. And I do
Speaker 1: think that this is the kind of this is like
Speaker 1: the kind of Disney Live Action that has a shot.
Speaker 3: Mm hmm, yeah, I agree.
Speaker 4: I agree, And also as well, I like that they
Speaker 4: redesigned Stitch. Also, we are in a Lilo and Stitch renaissance,
Speaker 4: like at the little Comic shop we have in Crafted
Speaker 4: Market in sam Pedro, we have a TV with a
Speaker 4: VHS and every single kid who comes in if we
Speaker 4: let we say, hey, pick a VHS if it's come
Speaker 4: to an end or something, they will always pick Lilo
Speaker 4: and Stitch.
Speaker 3: We have the Lelo and Stitch clamshow. Kids love it.
Speaker 4: When I was in London this year, Primark was just
Speaker 4: full of Lilo and Stitch stuff. My sister and the
Speaker 4: kids had a Lilo and Stitch Christmas tree. So I
Speaker 4: think when it comes to rewatches, we all know that
Speaker 4: Mohana is famously the most watched movie on Disney Plus,
Speaker 4: but I would say Lelo and Stitch is probably pretty
Speaker 4: high up there because the kids are loving Lelo and Stitch.
Speaker 3: So I hope this one is cool and fun.
Speaker 4: And also it was kind of low key when it
Speaker 4: came out, so it's nice to see it getting this
Speaker 4: reappraisal and also this potential for it to kind of
Speaker 4: reach a new audience, so it'll be interesting.
Speaker 3: I'm reading for that one too.
Speaker 1: Let's take a.
Speaker 2: Break and we'll be right back and for a work
Speaker 2: on and we're back.
Speaker 1: We are in the month of June in our twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five look at which brings us to twenty eight
Speaker 1: years oh later. Danny Boyle, he's back a decade and
Speaker 1: a half since the sequel to twenty eight days Later
Speaker 1: twenty eight months later was released. We are getting the
Speaker 1: third act in the trilogy twenty eight years later, following
Speaker 1: the effects of a zombie virus release on the world,
Speaker 1: and now we're catching up twenty eight years later. It
Speaker 1: does seem as if the zomb bombies picking up where
Speaker 1: twenty eight months later left off, that there are some
Speaker 1: kind of sentient ish, sentient ish zombies, people who are
Speaker 1: maybe kind of immune to the full ravaging effects of
Speaker 1: the zombie virus, and that they have their own kind
Speaker 1: of culture.
Speaker 4: I was going to say, it also looks like there's
Speaker 4: some kind of zombie cults, which I'm very into. We
Speaker 4: got Aaron Taylor Johnson, we got kille and Murphy returning.
Speaker 3: You may have spotted him in the trailer. That's very controversial.
Speaker 4: Also, we have Ray Fiens, who seems like potentially he
Speaker 4: could be one of those zombie type people.
Speaker 3: I'm very excited for this. It looks great also interesting.
Speaker 4: Sparked a lot of combo in the discord is that
Speaker 4: they've already announced a sequel that will be directed by
Speaker 4: Nia da Costa that will come out in twenty twenty six,
Speaker 4: so they're obviously hoping for this to be like a
Speaker 4: full franchise.
Speaker 1: Next up, the john Wick Averse continues to expand with
Speaker 1: the release of John Wick Ballerina Well, directed by Underworld
Speaker 1: ur Tour. And when I say Underworld ur Tour, I
Speaker 1: mean the Underworld Werewolf versus Vampire Underworld Lenn Wiseman. Wow, incredible,
Speaker 1: So uh, let's see how this goes.
Speaker 3: The vibes are gonna be weird.
Speaker 2: The vibes are gonna be weird.
Speaker 1: I've not been a fan of like the extended John
Speaker 1: Wick universe.
Speaker 4: The TV show that they did did not hit for
Speaker 4: me the Continental, but this, this I did see. The
Speaker 4: trailer looks like it's got great action. I'm interested to see.
Speaker 4: It feels like it should have come out like four
Speaker 4: years ago, but that's the nature of living through a pandemic.
Speaker 3: It does. But yeah, that will be interesting.
Speaker 4: June it could be a month where they're like all
Speaker 4: flops didn't deliver or it could be a little a
Speaker 4: little spicy month with a with a horror hit and
Speaker 4: a runaway kind of All those John Wick movies tend
Speaker 4: to do really well in the cinema.
Speaker 3: So I'll be interested to see it. Ana Damas, She's great.
Speaker 1: And I will be interested to see it. And I
Speaker 1: will say also when I say that Lenn Wizman is
Speaker 1: the thewer of the Underworld, he really is hit Like,
Speaker 1: how many one, two, maybe three?
Speaker 3: That's five?
Speaker 1: Six of his eight movies are underworld movies. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: which of which I think many are good fun I
Speaker 1: enjoy those.
Speaker 3: The world fan.
Speaker 2: Up.
Speaker 1: Next we go to July, and boy, this is it.
Speaker 3: This is the big win.
Speaker 1: This is gonna be the month that saves the movies.
Speaker 1: That's gonna be the story for next year. Is how
Speaker 1: Summer twenty twenty five saved movie?
Speaker 4: Could that be a world in which we have two
Speaker 4: billion dollar movies in July.
Speaker 3: Potentially could even be three.
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna lie because when Jurassic World came out.
Speaker 1: The rest of the world loves the Jurassic World.
Speaker 4: And getting English people like me, So I I will say, obviously,
Speaker 4: fast up, Superman, it's looking it's gonna be huge. It's
Speaker 4: gonna be huge. I think that I was talking to
Speaker 4: when I went to the trailer launch, talking to the
Speaker 4: Warner Brothers crew, and I was saying to them, like,
Speaker 4: I think they did such a smart.
Speaker 3: Job of releasing that trailer just before the.
Speaker 1: Most wat trailer.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, complete history, And I'm saying, like that got
Speaker 4: people hopeful before Christmas. It gave people something to be
Speaker 4: happy about in the face.
Speaker 3: Of like a really rough end of the year, and.
Speaker 4: It got people excited, and it made it feel like
Speaker 4: this is going to be the year of Superman.
Speaker 3: I actually kind of forgot the next and obviously.
Speaker 4: We have a Superman trailer at Breakdown episode if you
Speaker 4: want to go and listen to that, but it kind
Speaker 4: of made me forget that Fantastic four is coming out
Speaker 4: that month too.
Speaker 1: And that's now we are, you know, just gazing at
Speaker 1: the calendar right now, we are due for a trailer
Speaker 1: at some point.
Speaker 3: I'm like, when is it coming?
Speaker 4: Guys?
Speaker 1: Are we concerned? All that we've seen nothing there has
Speaker 1: been this kind of It's kind of like it's the
Speaker 1: education video right the previous trailer.
Speaker 4: I think they've got to show us something really really soon.
Speaker 1: I think in the literally in the next few weeks,
Speaker 1: maybe like a New Year's kind of like New Year's
Speaker 1: Day futuristic.
Speaker 4: Also very interesting that we're gonna have two movies coming
Speaker 4: out in the same month that are essentially reimagining the
Speaker 4: superhero worlds as we know it, because both Fantastic Four
Speaker 4: and Superman as far as we know, are gonna be
Speaker 4: set in some kind of old universe futuristic, with Fantastic
Speaker 4: Four kind of more grounded in Superman, and obviously with
Speaker 4: the Fantastic Four, we're all kind of guessing at some point.
Speaker 3: That will collide with the real MCU as we know it.
Speaker 3: But yeah, gonna be interesting.
Speaker 4: And that's without as we said, even mentioning the fact
Speaker 4: that this could maybe be a.
Speaker 3: Three billion dollar month.
Speaker 4: They could launch three billion dollar movies because we do
Speaker 4: have the relaunch of Jurassic World Rebirth, which is starring
Speaker 4: Fiero from Wicked Jonathan Bailey, coming off like another movie
Speaker 4: that's probably gonna be a billion dollars. His star has
Speaker 4: risen immeasurably since Bridgeton Season two, even though he was
Speaker 4: already fantastic in that and it has Scarlett Jrhnson, who
Speaker 4: we know via the MCU has helmed many massive blockbusters
Speaker 4: as Black Widow. Yeah, I mean I love these Jurassic
Speaker 4: World movies. I'm very interested to know what the new
Speaker 4: take is. Obviously they're not a scratch on the original
Speaker 4: Jurassic Park movies, but I just love a movie with
Speaker 4: a dinosaur. We last left the Jurassic World in a
Speaker 4: state where the dinosaurs had become a part of the
Speaker 4: everyday ecosism. It's going to be interesting to see if
Speaker 4: this ties into that. If it is a rebirth for
Speaker 4: the franchise.
Speaker 3: A lot of us thought they.
Speaker 4: Were going to do a different era so we would
Speaker 4: no longer be Jurassic but obviously they want to keep
Speaker 4: that one recognizable thing from the criton books. So yeah,
Speaker 4: it's going to be interesting if they could bring If
Speaker 4: they could do a Jurassic World movie that was critically
Speaker 4: acclaimed and it wasn't just like oh Dinosaurs, which I
Speaker 4: love the O Dinosaurs part, that could really be a
Speaker 4: contender for a Crazy July.
Speaker 1: Next up August, we have The Eyes of Wakanda Television.
Speaker 1: Sure is another show that feels highly anticipated and that
Speaker 1: we have seen nothing from, which leads me to be
Speaker 1: somewhat concerned.
Speaker 4: Apart from like A, I think we may have gotten
Speaker 4: like a one second clip.
Speaker 3: Yeah, really a second let's put this in.
Speaker 4: I hope this is more in the space of an
Speaker 4: X Men ninety seven than A but I think this
Speaker 4: comes from the Wife era. So I'm interested to see
Speaker 4: what happens by trust Ryan Coogler. So yeah, and August,
Speaker 4: that is going to be an interesting release month because
Speaker 4: if you have a good team show in August, you
Speaker 4: could really be horror. You could be taking the kind
Speaker 4: of you could be taking the crown of conversation of
Speaker 4: water cooler conversation. Because otherwise it's like Thread and Insidious Tale.
Speaker 4: Those movies are gonna make a ton of money. James
Speaker 4: Wan is a horror He's a horror beast like he
Speaker 4: has made the most profitable horror franchises of all time.
Speaker 4: So I'm sure that a new Insidious movie is gonna
Speaker 4: make a ton of money.
Speaker 3: Thread I'm guessing.
Speaker 4: That it will be about the creepy creature, the kind
Speaker 4: of astro projecting creature from those movies who you often
Speaker 4: he looks like Darth Moore. You see him on a
Speaker 4: sewing machine. And the highly anticipated but also currently highly
Speaker 4: being dragged for its color grading. Freaky Friday movie Seek
Speaker 4: Wel Freaky a Friday that will star both Jamie Lee
Speaker 4: Curtis and Lindsay Lohan, who is on a Korea resurgence, yes, reprising.
Speaker 1: Their roles from the original Freaky Friday, exactly one of
Speaker 1: the classic body switches of all time, which is itself
Speaker 1: a reimagining of the original Freagure fighting. Anyway, that brings
Speaker 1: us to September. Lots of horror movies. Saw eleven, Oh,
Speaker 1: we're sawing again.
Speaker 4: We're Sawing again, and I will say Saw ten, Saw
Speaker 4: X as it was called, which was actually a prequel.
Speaker 4: It was it was an in between I can't remember
Speaker 4: what we discermined the term was, but it's basically an
Speaker 4: in between movie between I believe Saw one and Saw two,
Speaker 4: I think. But that movie actually incredibly well received, critically,
Speaker 4: very interesting, contextual law adding and also about how terrible
Speaker 4: the privatized health industry can be.
Speaker 3: So that definitely re.
Speaker 4: In It reignited people's interest in the Saw franchise outside
Speaker 4: of kind of the campy nature of the latest Saw entries.
Speaker 3: So I'm interested to see what they do with Sore
Speaker 3: eleven because that was really an unexpected hit.
Speaker 1: I think Conjuring and the Conjuring jump scare classic series.
Speaker 1: The Conjuring is expanding to the Conjuring Last rites.
Speaker 4: Yes, it is gonna be the final movie about the
Speaker 4: Warring James Waern is back, Yes, is back.
Speaker 2: Patrick Wilson is back.
Speaker 3: You better make Patrick Wilson sing again. Let him let
Speaker 3: him sing.
Speaker 4: I watched that video of him singing I can't help
Speaker 4: falling in love with you in The Conjuring too so often.
Speaker 4: But yeah, this will be the last movie about the
Speaker 4: Warrens in this franchise, the Conjuring Us that launched with
Speaker 4: the Conjuring and became this kind of sprawling universe, including
Speaker 4: the nun and I believe the Laalarna movie was in
Speaker 4: that universe. That is the most profitable horror franchise of
Speaker 4: all time. James wand legend. I love this for him,
Speaker 4: and I love that he's getting his respect. Also, it's
Speaker 4: gonna be interesting because these Conjuring movies are now made
Speaker 4: I believe under the Blumhouse Atomic Monster kind of combined universe.
Speaker 3: So that's interesting. And also this one is.
Speaker 4: Going to be really intriguing. The Bride I am very
Speaker 4: very intrigued. Written and directed by Maggie Gillenhall.
Speaker 1: The Bride is a reimagining of the Bride of Frankenstein
Speaker 1: that is now hold on, let's give her the benefit
Speaker 1: of the doubt, apparently also a musical. I am very
Speaker 1: excited and in nineteen twenties. Yes, we've seen nothing from
Speaker 1: this movie, but I'm excited.
Speaker 3: Is I think Christian Baylis Frankenstein. I may be incorrect.
Speaker 3: Let's see who's Frankenstein?
Speaker 4: Because I saw an image of this and and he
Speaker 4: had like Joker style tattoos, and I was loving it
Speaker 4: because it's like it's like he's been cut up of
Speaker 4: different parts. Oh yeah, and there's a great image of
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I'm correct. It is it is Christian Baylist Frankenstein.
Speaker 4: And then the Bride is actually being played by a
Speaker 4: really brilliant actress, Jesse Buckley, who was in Men and
Speaker 4: who has been in a bunch of other stuff. And
Speaker 4: it looks very interesting. It's in the nineteen twenties. I
Speaker 4: think it's like a gangst the movie too, So this
Speaker 4: sounds wild.
Speaker 3: But I love Maggie Jillenhall, so good for you. Can't
Speaker 3: wait to see it.
Speaker 1: She's extremely talented. Up next October the release of the
Speaker 1: you know, a much talked about Marvel Zombies series, which
Speaker 1: is another thing that we've seen nothing else.
Speaker 3: Yes, I know, Marvel like release some stuff. Guys.
Speaker 1: Is a storyline that at least in the comics, has
Speaker 1: a lot of fans.
Speaker 4: And the kids love it nowadays, like the ten year olds.
Speaker 4: They've discovered it on YouTube. They love horror, they love
Speaker 4: the zombies. That I think is gonna be in that
Speaker 4: more if space, but could be very interesting. We're gonna
Speaker 4: get a lot of cameos, a lot of characters. I
Speaker 4: don't think it's gonna have a huge impact on what
Speaker 4: we see in the movies, but it could still be
Speaker 4: a fun Halloween release. If they go real hard on
Speaker 4: the horror, I think we could really have something fun there.
Speaker 1: Mortal Kombat two, I can't wait.
Speaker 4: The first one for this was a Max original day
Speaker 4: to day release during COVID still made a ton of
Speaker 4: money at the box office.
Speaker 3: Very campy, very fun, just totally rad.
Speaker 4: If you love the original Wall Combat games, if you
Speaker 4: love Mortal Kombat, the movies from the nineties, the very
Speaker 4: silly movies, you will likely enjoy this great action, incredible cast.
Speaker 3: I'm very excited to see what they do with Mortal
Speaker 3: Kombat two.
Speaker 1: And then rounding out the month of October Tron aries.
Speaker 1: I'm a fan of the Tron movies, even when they're bad.
Speaker 1: Oh love Tron legacy.
Speaker 3: Punk incredible soundtrack. I don't.
Speaker 4: I'm not a Jared Lefto lover, so that is a
Speaker 4: little bit of a like, what's going to happen there?
Speaker 3: But you never know.
Speaker 4: I want to see those guys on those light cycles,
Speaker 4: so I will be.
Speaker 2: There as we go to November.
Speaker 1: Predator Bad Lance, the latest movie in the Predator franchise.
Speaker 4: I believe, if I'm not mistaken, I heard I read
Speaker 4: a report recently that the Predator this is El Fanning
Speaker 4: in a Predator movie that is a sci fi movie.
Speaker 4: That my understanding is the Predator is the protagonist in
Speaker 4: this movie, so I'm very interested to see where that goes. Now,
Speaker 4: we've kind of seen that, we've often had a Predator
Speaker 4: who in the face of an alien as anymore.
Speaker 3: Ally, but this apparently.
Speaker 4: Is a super futuristic sci fi and the Predator is
Speaker 4: the protagonist, so I'll be interested to see where that goes.
Speaker 4: I love pretty much every Predator movie, honestly, even Predators.
Speaker 4: I thought that was good. I haven't seen The Predator.
Speaker 4: I never took my time to see it the shamee
Speaker 4: black one, but otherwise I'm a Predator fan.
Speaker 1: So yeah, sounds kind of a mess, but whatever. Next
Speaker 1: up in the month of November the movie. This movie
Speaker 1: will be a huge It is Wicked Part two. Ben
Speaker 1: Shapiro can't wait.
Speaker 3: Oh, I can't wait.
Speaker 2: We can't wait.
Speaker 3: It's pretty great.
Speaker 4: Okay, it's great, and they recently renamed it for the
Speaker 4: Wicked stands out there Wicked for Good, which, if you know,
Speaker 4: you're gonna be crying. So yeah, I can't wait. Probably
Speaker 4: after because this has been a very weird Oscar.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: You can hear us talk about our awards predictions in
Speaker 4: our Awards prediction episode. But this is gonna be coming
Speaker 4: out in the face of maybe Wicked doing a sweep
Speaker 4: at the Oscars, or at least the mini sweep.
Speaker 3: So very interesting.
Speaker 4: Also, November big time for sequels because it's Utopia too,
Speaker 4: a movie I didn't know they were making, and I
Speaker 4: usually know about most movies. But yes, the Rabbit cop
Speaker 4: is back and she's friends with the Fox and they're
Speaker 4: living in a beautiful world and maybe.
Speaker 3: Shakira will do a song again.
Speaker 2: Yes, the long way. I mean it's one.
Speaker 1: Was the last one twenty.
Speaker 2: Sixteen or something.
Speaker 3: People utopias did.
Speaker 1: Not know it was coming out either next December. Oh,
Speaker 1: here it is books. Oh maybe you're not gonna have
Speaker 1: to wait another fifteen years or whatever for the Avatar sequel.
Speaker 1: Here it comes Avatar Fire and ash my.
Speaker 3: Got this man. I swear to God one day who's
Speaker 3: among you will write about.
Speaker 4: The fact that this man to take it away from
Speaker 4: Avatar the Lost Airbender and then proceeded to make an
Speaker 4: Avatar the Lost Airbender inspired film franchise. I gotta know, guys,
Speaker 4: I just gotta know. But I'm interested to do. I'm
Speaker 4: interested to see what happens. You know what I love
Speaker 4: when I see when these Avatar movies come out. They're
Speaker 4: not for me, but you know what I love. I
Speaker 4: see people just infused with the love of cinema and
Speaker 4: the experience of seeing a movie on the big screen.
Speaker 4: So I'm once again happy for all my Avatar loving
Speaker 4: friends to be their I, on the other hand, will
Speaker 4: be seeing fanaf to five Nights at Freddy's Too, five
Speaker 4: night Blumbhouse. Yes, the sequel, budget, big budget hit movie
Speaker 4: about evil animatronics that are haunted by the souls of
Speaker 4: dead children that were put in there by the manager
Speaker 4: of the animatronic factory, whose name is William Afton, who
Speaker 4: is a child killer. This is a popular game among
Speaker 4: children and I absolutely love how deranged it is and
Speaker 4: the prosthetic suits that were made in the first movie
Speaker 4: made by the Henson Company, just absolutely fantastic. Yeah, if
Speaker 4: you like kid horror, I would say this is very
Speaker 4: much in the vein of like are You Afraid of
Speaker 4: the Dark? Whose bumps esque vibe? So I would definitely
Speaker 4: say check that out. I'm sure it's streaming on Peacock
Speaker 4: because it was a Universal movie. And thank you to
Speaker 4: Universal for putting this movie out on December fifth, which
Speaker 4: is my nephew's birthday, and he is the biggest five
Speaker 4: nights of Freddie's fan in the world, so that made
Speaker 4: him so happy. And I will be there watching it
Speaker 4: with him in London most likely.
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick break and then we'll be right
Speaker 1: back to talk about some of the upcoming TV shows.
Speaker 1: TV shows are twenty twenty five and don't have dates
Speaker 1: that don't have dates ready. First of all, Stranger Things
Speaker 1: season five, the final season Children. The children are thirty
Speaker 1: fucking years.
Speaker 3: Old at this all like a foot and a half
Speaker 3: to all of them.
Speaker 4: Win.
Speaker 1: Yes, but this is it the big ending of the series,
Speaker 1: and I would expect that they're gonna continue to spin
Speaker 1: off that this world. They're not gonna leave it here.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Maybe I feel like this could definitely be a
Speaker 4: movie situation. Feels like there's enough fandom last season surprising
Speaker 4: kind of re invigoration of the fandom with characters like
Speaker 4: Eddie Munson. So I'll be interested to see if this
Speaker 4: hits the same way. Hopefully it does. People love this show.
Speaker 4: I love eighties music, so I'm sure I'll be fine.
Speaker 1: Next up the Last of Us Season two on Max Oh,
Speaker 1: get Ready for the heartbreak?
Speaker 3: Get Ready? Will this come out?
Speaker 2: Grim action?
Speaker 1: Yes? Is gonna be big.
Speaker 2: I think this is.
Speaker 4: I feel like it will, but I feel like it's
Speaker 4: it's It must be so complex right now to have
Speaker 4: a show that was as successful as the Last of
Speaker 4: Us to know what you have to do in season two,
Speaker 4: if you're even vaguely going by the games, and also
Speaker 4: the money they must be spending on this show, the
Speaker 4: timing late twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: Five, I think it's late twenty twenty five summer into summer,
Speaker 1: you know, like the old Game of Thrones release, which
Speaker 1: was like April through the summer ending in October or
Speaker 1: something like that.
Speaker 3: That's my guess.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Next up, Night of the Seven Kingdoms, also on Max.
Speaker 4: Well, I can't wait for this. This is maybe my
Speaker 4: most anticipated show because I just the moments that we've seen,
Speaker 4: the just the snippets, the photos. It just looks exactly
Speaker 4: like the tone I want. Like it's like a Robin
Speaker 4: hood esque, like adv esque, but in that brutal Game
Speaker 4: of Thrones world.
Speaker 1: That This is an adaptation of George R. Martin's Duncan
Speaker 1: Egg novella's which follow the Hedge Night Sir Dunk and
Speaker 1: the Tall and his adventures with Egg, the young Prince
Speaker 1: Egg on Targarian and they wander around, they get into
Speaker 1: lots of adventures, lots of trouble. The books are wonderful, yes,
Speaker 1: and you so fun.
Speaker 4: You We may have some fun book coverage for that
Speaker 4: in the New Year too. Others the Bast season four.
Speaker 4: How they make it so many seasons, Jason, They are banging.
Speaker 3: That stuff out boom boom boom.
Speaker 4: Every year there's a new Bast season, and they are
Speaker 4: sweeping up at the Emmys.
Speaker 1: They are sweeping up hopefully not in the Comedy Awards session.
Speaker 4: Maybe move them, Maybe this time they move them. Are
Speaker 4: the big hits that we probably you for a season three?
Speaker 4: Will it ever come out?
Speaker 3: That's the longing.
Speaker 2: Say.
Speaker 1: They say that it's really gonna happen now, Okay, contractually,
Speaker 1: of course, I think they have to do so thing
Speaker 1: there of course has been, you know, a lot of
Speaker 1: drama around the working conditions, about the creator and how
Speaker 1: much of the workload he is taking on the failure
Speaker 1: Yes and so and.
Speaker 4: Is like the biggest star on Earth right now. Dune
Speaker 4: To just was announced Christopher Nolan. I hope they're paying
Speaker 4: her so much money. She also award winner after these,
Speaker 4: after Euphoria. So yeah, I'm very interested to see that
Speaker 4: Wednesday season two. A lot of our Discord lovers love
Speaker 4: the Adams family. I'm sure that will be fun. Lady
Speaker 4: Gaga is going to be in Wednesday season two. Hell sure,
Speaker 4: maybe there'll be a song.
Speaker 3: I love that.
Speaker 4: I'm excited for the final season of Cobra Kai, which
Speaker 4: I believe they are now calling. I think Cobrachai season seven.
Speaker 4: Maybe it got split up into different seasons over the
Speaker 4: last bit.
Speaker 3: Love That been a really delightful show and then.
Speaker 1: Just Rising Surprising, a very surprising and heartfelt ride the
Speaker 1: Cobra Kai series.
Speaker 3: And also you may forget guys.
Speaker 4: That show began as a YouTube original series and it
Speaker 4: did so unbelievably well that after YouTube TV basically ended,
Speaker 4: Netflix picked it up and Love and Behold now it's
Speaker 4: one of the biggest shows on that Love that show
Speaker 4: also ending just in time for a movie we didn't
Speaker 4: talk about that.
Speaker 3: I believe it's coming out in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 4: Karai Kid Legends, which is a Jackie Chan Ralph Machio
Speaker 4: team up where they're kind of combining the movie chronicles
Speaker 4: and it doesn't seem to be connected to Cobra Kai.
Speaker 4: Very interesting, but I love anything Karate Kids, so I'll
Speaker 4: probably watch that too.
Speaker 1: So that has been our twenty twelve year roundup. We're
Speaker 1: excited to see how things shake out. It's gonna be
Speaker 1: in this year of Superman, Will Captain America, Brave New
Speaker 1: World fall flat on its face, the Fantastic Negative pr cycle.
Speaker 4: Be able to save the MCU in the I'm will
