Speaker 1: you have been on our reviews before. This is kind
Speaker 1: of a review. It's a recap. Yeah, sure, of all
Speaker 1: of the there were so many panels. I was trying
Speaker 1: to catch up today and I think I got through
Speaker 1: maybe like a third of the Hall h and Hall
Speaker 1: twenty panels. I got to be in Hall twenty did Yeah.
Speaker 1: That other voice that you hear, she's an entertainment journalist,
Speaker 1: it's Flora's Serial Cool. Hi, Hey, thank you so much
Speaker 1: for having me on. I love this podcast. So I
Speaker 1: love you too, like both of you guys. So I'm
Speaker 1: like so excited to be here. Yeah, I'm so glad
Speaker 1: that you could join us for this huge episode. I
Speaker 1: just want to say, like, as we're getting started, what
Speaker 1: was everyone's favorite thing that they saw at comic Con.
Speaker 1: That's my favorite thing I saw at Comic Con was
Speaker 1: Mirschela wearing that Blade hat. You know, it was it
Speaker 1: was great. It was like, you know, we've been talking
Speaker 1: about Blade a lot in the Zeitgeist and people were like, man,
Speaker 1: if Wesley Snipes can reprise it, that'd be great. And
Speaker 1: I was thinking, I was like, yeah, who could replace Snipes?
Speaker 1: And when I saw mirshel and just clicked. You know,
Speaker 1: not only the fact that Mirshela is a phenomenal actor,
Speaker 1: but also he kind of does kind of share the
Speaker 1: same features as Snipes, so I feel like, you know, uh, visually,
Speaker 1: it won't be too far of a departure from the
Speaker 1: one we grew in love. I hope he gets the
Speaker 1: same haircut. I need that in my life. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm super excited to see what happens with that. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was shocked when he put on the Blade hat
Speaker 1: and it again like ohtah, of course rehearsal allies who
Speaker 1: would play Blade next? I couldn't believe we hadn't all
Speaker 1: been guessing. It just makes sense, and I was really excited.
Speaker 1: I did my first hall Age panel ever this year,
Speaker 1: and so that was definitely my top moment, and it
Speaker 1: was for his Dark Materials, which maybe you watched the
Speaker 1: Golden Compass movie that came out, so like oh five
Speaker 1: oh seven somewhere in there. Um lend wal Miranda says
Speaker 1: that he comes in singing a duets, also playing his
Speaker 1: demon Um, which was really exciting. I'm really excited. They're
Speaker 1: gonna take like a lot of like dark, twisty turns
Speaker 1: with the series, which should be fun. But they're keeping
Speaker 1: it available UM and accessible to kids, which I think
Speaker 1: is a lot of fun. UM. Can you explain the
Speaker 1: series for people that I don't know about it? Yeah,
Speaker 1: So it's a commentary on UM. A lot of people
Speaker 1: think it's a commentary on religious organizations, but really it's
Speaker 1: a commentary on all powerful organizations and how they affect
Speaker 1: our lives. Every individual has a demon that is sort
Speaker 1: of a physical animal manifestation of their selves. Uh. And
Speaker 1: in the middle of it all as this little girl
Speaker 1: of girl who played X twenty three and Logan is
Speaker 1: playing character which is freaking awesome UM. And she's trying
Speaker 1: to figure out what it is to be a good person,
Speaker 1: and that's her journey through the whole thing. So you've got, uh,
Speaker 1: a lady who's considered maybe one of the most evil
Speaker 1: villains of all time in there. And they I'm so
Speaker 1: excited because the UM they talked to the original author,
Speaker 1: Philip Pullman about it, and they're like listen. We want
Speaker 1: to know why she's a monkey. We want to know
Speaker 1: why she's able to separate from her demon when no
Speaker 1: one else can. And then he was like, go for that.
Speaker 1: Dig all the way to the character. So much more
Speaker 1: expansive than even the books, but with Pullman's Um, okay,
Speaker 1: it is a BBC and HBO production, which for me
Speaker 1: means money, so much money, huge expensive projects, and that
Speaker 1: used real puppets, real puppets, including a like six foot
Speaker 1: tall polar bear. I got like, I've been looking for
Speaker 1: something to replace my Game of Thrones addiction, and I
Speaker 1: think this could maybe it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think
Speaker 1: that they're hoping that everyone that you know was watching
Speaker 1: for a Game of the owns that this will in
Speaker 1: their sci fi fantasy, and then the kids can watch too.
Speaker 1: You don't have to like game with her. It's not
Speaker 1: for the children. I wonder one time it but like
Speaker 1: and then immediately changed the channel. Run children, it's HBO.
Speaker 1: It'll be like Insecure Ballers or something Succession or something
Speaker 1: coming on. Laura, what about you? What was your favorite part? Um? Well, um,
Speaker 1: obviously I'm a treki, so Pecari was a big deal.
Speaker 1: But but um, that's like just emotional feelings as a treky,
Speaker 1: but um as an Asian American. My biggest thing that
Speaker 1: I I screamed and cried before, like when it came
Speaker 1: out on the screen was shang Xi UM, which will
Speaker 1: be like all Asian America or all Western Nize Asian
Speaker 1: um movie UM for Marvel. And so they announced UM.
Speaker 1: They announced the cast which is Tony Leong who's huge
Speaker 1: in Asia and China. UM obsessed with him. UM. And Aquapina,
Speaker 1: who's who's killing it right now in the game has
Speaker 1: to be is so excited. I found YouTube. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: was like, oh yeah, New Yorkers. She's a fellow Yorker,
Speaker 1: so I'm like I'm a fellow Neneker. So I'm like yeah, um.
Speaker 1: And also UM and then see move from Kim's Convenience. Yeah. UM.
Speaker 1: We were the fact that like you know, honestly we
Speaker 1: we we like all the trades were talking about other
Speaker 1: people and like he just did it on his screen
Speaker 1: test on Sunday and he got he found out on
Speaker 1: Tuesday and then he announced him. Oh my god, what
Speaker 1: a wee. Yeah. So it's like, oh my god, like
Speaker 1: this is amazing good like and it was just I
Speaker 1: was screaming my head off the whole time. Just knowing
Speaker 1: that this is gonna be a change just for a
Speaker 1: Western night was definitely one of those moments where it's
Speaker 1: like a fantasy move. Like he's been talking about wanting
Speaker 1: to play Superhero online for so He's been like tagging Marvel.
Speaker 1: Yeah he stopped, Marvel. Stop Marvel. I love that Marvel
Speaker 1: is picking, like selecting fanboys like at the sort of
Speaker 1: started with Tom, who has been very vocal about his
Speaker 1: love of Spider Man um and then to like know
Speaker 1: that Wesley Snipes called, like the minute he got his Oscar,
Speaker 1: I was like, I have Cloud. I'm sorry, yes, can
Speaker 1: I please do Blade now like I've got I can
Speaker 1: do it? Um to come down to see me, Like
Speaker 1: it's really exciting to know that the people have passion
Speaker 1: behind playing these rules. Yeah, I'm gonna put it out
Speaker 1: there if they need like a person on set just
Speaker 1: to be there and like I can bring I can
Speaker 1: bring whatever you guys need. I just wanted to be
Speaker 1: part of this big movement like somehow like on her Mommy,
Speaker 1: I've got orange slices, Like who needs he means like
Speaker 1: who's hungry? You guys need to eat? Hydrate hydrate, that
Speaker 1: will be my job. I love the idea that Mershela
Speaker 1: was announced as if it was like a sports trade
Speaker 1: with him, just like cast announcements like that, like yes
Speaker 1: this season I will be on ball, you put the
Speaker 1: hat on, or Fantastic four. I want them to all
Speaker 1: like I tweeted that Marvel was on their Beyonce because
Speaker 1: they were like, here's like seven great movies and TV projects.
Speaker 1: Some also here's six more titles titles, titles, Titales blackout.
Speaker 1: I was like, what are you doing to me? And
Speaker 1: I know around the corners. What was so interesting about
Speaker 1: it is I thought they weren't gonna announce anything because
Speaker 1: this has been traditioned that Marvel sits back and save
Speaker 1: their goodies for D twenty three, which means they must
Speaker 1: have something juicy they gave it to. But I will say, um,
Speaker 1: you know, uh. The fun thing about because some people
Speaker 1: might be looking at this, um, this Phase four announcement like, so,
Speaker 1: out of the Phase four announcements, we have one, two, three, four,
Speaker 1: five movies and five Disney plus properties. And some people
Speaker 1: might be like, oh Disney Plus because in history, the
Speaker 1: TV universe and the cinematic universe were separate. Now we're
Speaker 1: in a time where they're actually gonna be blended together.
Speaker 1: I knew about this, not the phase line up, but
Speaker 1: I knew about the blending of the universes before. I
Speaker 1: seemed to have a friend who I won't call out
Speaker 1: and snitch all them, who actually sat down because he's
Speaker 1: doing a thing for Disney plus, which is actually super cool.
Speaker 1: But like he came in after he went to the
Speaker 1: offices and was like, oh, they showed me the roadmap,
Speaker 1: and you know, he's like, I can't tell you everything,
Speaker 1: but I can. And he revealed to me that the
Speaker 1: shows were going to be interwoven. They're going to be
Speaker 1: using the original cast members, but for the animated stuff
Speaker 1: they're gonna be using I think they said someone around
Speaker 1: eight percent of the original cast. They didn't ounce. That
Speaker 1: has really st the photo of all the actors that
Speaker 1: are coming to do the what ifs. Yes, yeah, that's
Speaker 1: so cool. I listened to me Disney. We can say
Speaker 1: a lot about Disney and how our fear of monopolies,
Speaker 1: and there's a lot to talk about. But if we're
Speaker 1: just looking like as fans at Disney and what's coming up,
Speaker 1: like Universal storytelling has been my niche for like like
Speaker 1: going back to high school. Like I love the idea
Speaker 1: of cross telling stories. I love the idea of like
Speaker 1: you can follow someone from a story to a video game,
Speaker 1: to a movie and back again into the comics, like
Speaker 1: the idea of what's coming up from Disney. I'm a
Speaker 1: stand I can't help it. I don't really care, like
Speaker 1: I don't. This is my life blood, like please. I
Speaker 1: think my favorite moment was Tessa Thompson, who will be
Speaker 1: Marvel's first queer superhero, and she said, um, well, she's
Speaker 1: a king and she needs to find her queen. And
Speaker 1: I love that because she was named a king at
Speaker 1: the end of Infinity War or Endgame. She was named
Speaker 1: a king at the end of Endgame, and she's I
Speaker 1: think a lot of fans are hoping that her queen
Speaker 1: is possibly Captain Marvel. We'll see, but that's really cool
Speaker 1: and I'm so glad that she is. Uh. And of
Speaker 1: course we had Natalie Portman taking on h Milner taking
Speaker 1: on the Hammer for Thor It's going to be dope.
Speaker 1: But before we hop more into Marvel, I did want
Speaker 1: to talk about some of these trailers that dropped. Oh
Speaker 1: my God, I don't know if you all were able
Speaker 1: to see that it too. Trailer definitely did. Yeah, So
Speaker 1: the cast at down with conan um and that was
Speaker 1: some part of Scared Diego. You were there, right, was
Speaker 1: the Scared Diego um and it like they showed for
Speaker 1: three they showed three different um um scenes and let's
Speaker 1: just let's just say I wrote about it too, but um,
Speaker 1: let's just say that it was it's gonna meet expectations
Speaker 1: maybe beyond chapter one. Really yeah, Like I was my heart,
Speaker 1: like my heart was pounding. So was scarier than the trailer.
Speaker 1: It was scarier than the trailer. The scenes that they showed, um,
Speaker 1: they told us like, please don't reveal it, and so
Speaker 1: we all, like all the press didn't do that, so
Speaker 1: we were like the past. Yeah, but no, like there's
Speaker 1: scenes that wasn't in the original um it that I
Speaker 1: was just like, I really appreciated that they added and
Speaker 1: it was like really really intense. Um. They added a
Speaker 1: new scene that wasn't in the original that you're just
Speaker 1: gonna like. It caused even caused McAvoy James McAvoy anxiety.
Speaker 1: He said that it caused him like anxiety for that
Speaker 1: scene and watching it, I felt that anxiety and like
Speaker 1: I was just freaking out. So chapter two, I feel
Speaker 1: like it's going to be even more more extreme than
Speaker 1: chapter one. So if you were freaked up from chapter one,
Speaker 1: he prepared for chapter two because chapter one, I was like, okay, okay,
Speaker 1: but this one, I'm like, just the three scenes they
Speaker 1: just showed me, I was like, freaked out and I
Speaker 1: don't freak out usually. Based off the first scene they showed,
Speaker 1: not the trailer that was released for the con, but
Speaker 1: the one where Jessica Chastin is wentering around the house
Speaker 1: with the old lady, like skinning across the hall. I
Speaker 1: was like, Oh, this is level fear. And I'm so
Speaker 1: I'm so excited because this director producer team, the brother
Speaker 1: and sister have been doing like great things, like all
Speaker 1: the way back to Mama UM, and so to see
Speaker 1: them being able to ramp up the special effects we
Speaker 1: saw on the trailer looks so clean and good. I'm
Speaker 1: really excited. If you're gonna go right, you do what? No,
Speaker 1: That's why I just totally checked out to this. You know,
Speaker 1: I don't like scary stuff. I was on the h
Speaker 1: I was driving today, UM, and I was behind the
Speaker 1: bus and it had that it because I guess they're
Speaker 1: so if you didn't know. Last time it was out,
Speaker 1: they did a pop up house and totally never stepped
Speaker 1: foot in there. But they really have an advertising advertising
Speaker 1: where it looks like a carnival. And I was like
Speaker 1: featuring penny Wise the dancing clown, and I was like,
Speaker 1: I hate this and I was stuck in traffic behind
Speaker 1: that sign the whole time. I was like, Okay, you
Speaker 1: know that Universal normally sends me to Halloween Hornet, so
Speaker 1: like I have a plus one, normally you should. You
Speaker 1: should see if somebody want to go. Yeah, I don't know,
Speaker 1: Like I was figuring I would take my co host
Speaker 1: I cover things with. I don't know if he would
Speaker 1: want to go or I think this is a good
Speaker 1: time for Joel to step in. Oh my god, I
Speaker 1: want I want you to go. If you and I
Speaker 1: want to, I need to have a go pro and
Speaker 1: to film. You would get all the clicks. Yeah, my
Speaker 1: friends are penny Wise cost players on your birthday. I
Speaker 1: will get hurt now that no. I mean that's like
Speaker 1: when I worked at Not Scary Farm as security, we
Speaker 1: were going through the ring maze. I'll never forget this,
Speaker 1: and it was because um, and we have these bright
Speaker 1: yellow shirts, so they knew we were employees, so they
Speaker 1: would like mess with us by like grabbing us and stuff,
Speaker 1: and so like I'm super freaked out, almost home free.
Speaker 1: It's the last, the last stretch of the maize. There's
Speaker 1: a dark corner and they have people in those like
Speaker 1: full body kind of like Zintai suits, but all plaques
Speaker 1: so you don't see him. And he popped out the
Speaker 1: corner and my natural reaction was to jump and no.
Speaker 1: I jumped up and did the crane kick from Karate
Speaker 1: Kid kick this guy in the chest back into the corner,
Speaker 1: and I was like, I'm so sorry. It's okay, little Universal.
Speaker 1: They're called scarycters. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 1: They get within a centimeter touching you and they don't
Speaker 1: touch you. I don't know how that they're not a liability,
Speaker 1: but they would get so close to my face but
Speaker 1: not touch it. They were they're trained. Yeah, it's comforting
Speaker 1: to know before you going to these things, they're like
Speaker 1: they're not allowed to touch you, and you're like that's great,
Speaker 1: and then about halfway through you forget. It's I'm so
Speaker 1: sorry because things get very scary. Uh, giving continually gets darker,
Speaker 1: and then the props are very real. And yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't like clowns at all in real life. I won't
Speaker 1: go to a circus, but I love being afraid I can't.
Speaker 1: But there's something about that feeling in your stomach where
Speaker 1: you're like I could die right now. That's very exciting.
Speaker 1: It's like fun to just embrace that feeling. Uh. And
Speaker 1: we're better in a theater where you know you're most
Speaker 1: likely not actually gonna die. I can't wait for it.
Speaker 1: I'm so exciting. And this is the most fake blood
Speaker 1: and bull blood that they used in the film with
Speaker 1: four thousand five Dallons ever. Yeah, now they beat the
Speaker 1: other films they built. They beat that scene in the
Speaker 1: show Minings. Yeah, I think because um, that's what that's
Speaker 1: what Jessica saying. She was like, wait, this is the
Speaker 1: most four thousand world records. What about the terminator to
Speaker 1: footage that they showed Linda be an egg and uh,
Speaker 1: there's nothing more I love than hot ladies kicking ass
Speaker 1: and like for Linda to just pull out that gun
Speaker 1: and like she okay, I will compare everybody Beyonce because
Speaker 1: she is my god. But the way that she is
Speaker 1: like not sweating as she's like kicking button and then
Speaker 1: like walking away from like an explosion. And then Arld
Speaker 1: comes in, and I love the way they've sort of
Speaker 1: aged him and yet he still looks like the Terminator.
Speaker 1: How the special effects we're getting bus scenes again. I
Speaker 1: love little callbacks to the original series. Um, I'm so
Speaker 1: everything after T two. Let's be honest, you could just
Speaker 1: place it in a trash can. It holds no value
Speaker 1: to me or anyone else. Um. So the idea that
Speaker 1: they're like, yeah, we're just gonna bounce it back to
Speaker 1: T one T two give you that same energy. Um,
Speaker 1: it's thrilling. I cannot wait for Terminator. I feel like
Speaker 1: this is a return to the glory days and we've
Speaker 1: needed it. Yeah, they're bringing I mean they're bringing everyone back.
Speaker 1: Eddie for long. Um who plays John Connor. Last time
Speaker 1: we saw him, he was young, right, the last time
Speaker 1: we saw him was he was like a teenager. Yeah
Speaker 1: that was oh man, I like thirty years ago, Like
Speaker 1: and um he Like, it's just great to see him
Speaker 1: come back and like just the original cast of T
Speaker 1: two just come together I'm just so excited because it's
Speaker 1: like the nostalgia but also introducing it to the new
Speaker 1: audiences and they're also like inclusive, so I just love
Speaker 1: how badass Linda like just looks. And Tim Miller is
Speaker 1: gonna direct to Miller also directed Deadpool through an episode
Speaker 1: of love, Sex, and Robots. Um. I think he's shown
Speaker 1: that he can do action and comedy really well, which
Speaker 1: is something that made T Want and T Too like
Speaker 1: an instant success. So I'm sorry to see his version.
Speaker 1: And No, Cameron's back behind the scenes kind of controlling
Speaker 1: things whenever he shows up. That guy knows how to
Speaker 1: give us a movie we want to see. So it's
Speaker 1: super good. Oh and special effects are so much better
Speaker 1: than it was, like even the last movie Salvation, so
Speaker 1: I feel like it's going to be amazing even more amazing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm excited. So this didn't drop technically at Comic Con,
Speaker 1: but we did have Jamie Lee Curtis tweeting out the
Speaker 1: Halloween the next two Halloween films, and I'm just really
Speaker 1: excited for our silver haired queens. I'm ready. You know,
Speaker 1: it was the Year of the Daddy. I'm ready for
Speaker 1: the Year of the Mommy. Love having Linda Hambleton's just kicking,
Speaker 1: but love seeing Jamie Lee Curtis. I'm just I'm so
Speaker 1: excited that that we get to have these women on
Speaker 1: the pedestal that they deserve to be on, because I
Speaker 1: feel like, due to age is um, we normally replace
Speaker 1: them and have younger actresses. So I'm just so happy
Speaker 1: that they're just kicking butt and looking good. They're fine
Speaker 1: as hell. They're fine as hell, all right, So let's
Speaker 1: talk about some of these other things that's been popping up,
Speaker 1: because there's a lot of older properties that we've been
Speaker 1: talking about, but let's talk about some new ones. Something
Speaker 1: that's been in our face. You couldn't avoid it. You
Speaker 1: couldn't you if you close. The only way you could
Speaker 1: have avoided this is if you were at a comic
Speaker 1: colm with your eyes closed. What is everyone's thoughts on
Speaker 1: Carnival Row. I'm really excited. I actually had breakfast with
Speaker 1: one of the writers. Shout out to Mike Bernard in
Speaker 1: m who is giving me a little bit of the
Speaker 1: skinny behind the scenes. I won't I won't reveal his
Speaker 1: secrets since I've already named him. But that's all. You don't,
Speaker 1: can you? Tell people about the series. Yeah, okay, okay,
Speaker 1: So imagine if in the nineteenth century Europe saw a
Speaker 1: huge influx and immigrants all over the place. So it's
Speaker 1: a take on that. But instead of humans, they're magical creatures,
Speaker 1: so centaurs and fairies and all kinds of stuff, and like,
Speaker 1: what does that look like when we get all into
Speaker 1: the same space. And so now you have police policing
Speaker 1: mystical creatures and not understanding their backgrounds and their histories.
Speaker 1: And for the most part they're like, oh, a fairy died.
Speaker 1: Who cares Um? But one police officer who is m
Speaker 1: Orlando Bloom and he's gonna figure about who killed this ferry.
Speaker 1: He wants justice for all, so that he starts working,
Speaker 1: is it CAA that's yeah, So he starts doing with
Speaker 1: a card to solve crimes with her in Carnival Row.
Speaker 1: It is Um beautiful to look at Um the Creator.
Speaker 1: This is one of the first scripts that got onto
Speaker 1: the Blacklist. It was originally a feature linked script. Um
Speaker 1: bounced around for like roughly a decade before it finally
Speaker 1: found a home Amazon. They were like, let's do a Yeah,
Speaker 1: forever bounced around me. Maybe we'll do a TV series,
Speaker 1: So let's ma get a lighter TV series. Maybe we
Speaker 1: could do a feature length movie like it was all
Speaker 1: kinds of things. They weren't really sure where they wanted
Speaker 1: to put it until um, Amazon like, we have the
Speaker 1: money to actually build sets, which will need because this
Speaker 1: project costs a lot of money. I think they shot
Speaker 1: a pilot and then we're like, scrap that and reshot
Speaker 1: a pilot. So yeah, so it's been through a lot
Speaker 1: of works, but I think that that's probably for the best.
Speaker 1: It's already season two locked in, ready to go, so
Speaker 1: I'm excited for it. It should be a lot of fun. Again,
Speaker 1: I already mentioned that I'm looking for a Game of
Speaker 1: Thrones replacement. Um, I need magical realism in my life, please,
Speaker 1: but love God, I don't know if this will fill
Speaker 1: that hole because Game of Thrones was a weekly show,
Speaker 1: and there's something about having to wait a week and
Speaker 1: rejoining people to watch it live that doesn't quite hold
Speaker 1: with things that you can bingeing. Because I know Amazon
Speaker 1: has been known or is that more Hulu hula? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think Amazon might be smart to do that for
Speaker 1: this series, but it's hard to get me to switch
Speaker 1: on an Amazon for Sunday Night screen. I don't know why,
Speaker 1: my brain just won't make that, just kind of because
Speaker 1: I had to watch Game of Thrones on HBO. Go whatever.
Speaker 1: We'll see how they release it, but either way, I
Speaker 1: think it'll be a lot of fun for people to watch.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of good reviews coming out of the
Speaker 1: screening they did Saturday night. Um, so I have high
Speaker 1: hopes for it. Good cast too, yeah, stellar stellar cast.
Speaker 1: Another one that popped up that really caught my eye
Speaker 1: was the snow Piercer TV series. You know what was
Speaker 1: those chuckles? Um? Yeah, I got to um, I'm covering.
Speaker 1: I covered that for a comic con and um yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's it looks really it follows along with the movie.
Speaker 1: Of course, David and Digs, that's what they're only towards me.
Speaker 1: I was just like, Okay, I'm gonna cover this. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be it's on It's on TBS, so it's gonna
Speaker 1: be Um and Jennifer Connelly. It's really it's gonna it's
Speaker 1: Prestige TV for TBS, which I'm like really excited. Yeah
Speaker 1: did you did you show you a clips? Yeah, the
Speaker 1: trailer and you felt that it hold up to other
Speaker 1: prestige TV we've seen, Well, I feel like they're they're
Speaker 1: like the drama for like, I feel like it follows
Speaker 1: with the movie because like it had all the like
Speaker 1: the really great cast. It's like one of the best,
Speaker 1: like jenffer Connelly, you got Jen Davan dig It's like
Speaker 1: I feel like they're really they're really pushing for it too.
Speaker 1: So um, the scenes that I got to see, I
Speaker 1: felt like it it was really it reflected the movie,
Speaker 1: but maybe a little better, probably because I I felt
Speaker 1: cueezy during the movie, like this one will be It's
Speaker 1: it fits audiences with TBS, but also still has a drama,
Speaker 1: so it's a little toned down in the darkness. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Like I don't think we'll see baby parts. Okay, that's cool.
Speaker 1: I like that we're eating babies in the movie. And
Speaker 1: then there was like a whole train full of bug
Speaker 1: meals that they were reading. The grow shot factor is
Speaker 1: that I really liked about snow Piercer and I wonder
Speaker 1: if they'll lose people in that translation. But like you said,
Speaker 1: the cast is is really Solidum. Also, it's just an
Speaker 1: interesting premise for a show like you see it follows
Speaker 1: the movie, so is it like after they hop off
Speaker 1: the train and they're like running for a thing or
Speaker 1: is it still on the train on the interesting. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm intrigued. This is the show. I'm gonna watch that
Speaker 1: the first three episodes and let me see what we're
Speaker 1: doing here TBS. Yeah, very interesting. All right, I've I've
Speaker 1: kind of been driving everything. Is there anything that you
Speaker 1: saw that popped out? I'm gonna have y'all answered that
Speaker 1: right after these messages. Welcome back to Nerdive Accent. This
Speaker 1: is if you wid The way. Across from me is
Speaker 1: Danny Fernandez. We're joined by Joel and Laura, and we're
Speaker 1: talking about this year's San Diego Comic Con, giving you
Speaker 1: all the beats, all those scoops that came out and
Speaker 1: just all the fun we had. But first we're talking
Speaker 1: about the scoops and we're gonna talk about Joel and
Speaker 1: Laura's favorite favorite favorite you know, shows clips, things that
Speaker 1: came out. Let's start with Joel. She looks like she
Speaker 1: has nice I am really excited. Harley Quinn is an
Speaker 1: animated series that's like R rated, which for me is
Speaker 1: so exciting. I'm like currently working on an article about
Speaker 1: the evolution of Harley Quinn as a character from what
Speaker 1: it was essentially a sexist chope for dudes to play
Speaker 1: off of an abused woman in a bad relationship that
Speaker 1: then got very weirdly romanticized for a very long time
Speaker 1: to now like in out Bisexual Day eating the person
Speaker 1: we've been wanting her to date since day one, and
Speaker 1: she's getting her own animated series, just kicking about with Batman,
Speaker 1: and it's like, if you love Harley Quinn and especially
Speaker 1: I think for a lot of women who came into
Speaker 1: Batman the animated series at a very young age, and
Speaker 1: we're very impressionable and liked like what they saw in
Speaker 1: Harley this kind of carefree um laugh a minute, independent
Speaker 1: but still kind of lovesick girl UM. Watching her evolve
Speaker 1: into this um character who can lead her own show,
Speaker 1: and the fact that it can be kind of raunchy
Speaker 1: and dirty, and also like she totally gets to kick.
Speaker 1: But there's something so thrilling and exciting and it feels
Speaker 1: like a very great return to classic DC animation, which
Speaker 1: I have been missing. Like I am not a fan
Speaker 1: of the new DC animated movies. Um, they're dark in
Speaker 1: a way that I think isn't beneficial. In other words,
Speaker 1: they're sexualizing women in a way that isn't for their
Speaker 1: own gratification, but definitely strictly for the viewer. Um. They're
Speaker 1: relaunching comic books that only just recently came out and
Speaker 1: aren't necessarily the most interesting parts of Cannon. Um. This
Speaker 1: seems fresh and new and exciting, and it's just they
Speaker 1: also have Alan Tutick as a joker. Yes, it's such
Speaker 1: a great voice cast behind it. Uh d Drake Bader
Speaker 1: is Batman. D Bader's my favorite version of Badon other
Speaker 1: than Kevin Um. Right after Kevin comes Ddrick, he does
Speaker 1: something so great. He gets that dark comedy just perfect.
Speaker 1: It's a wonderful series already. I haven't seen a second
Speaker 1: of it. I'm already endorsing it. I can't wait. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what about you, Laura Well Um In the DC universe,
Speaker 1: Doom Patrol is renewed for it and it's gonna come
Speaker 1: back twenty Season two will become out. Titans comes out
Speaker 1: September six, So those are like, I've run the podcast
Speaker 1: for them and I'm just excited. Um so Titans podcast,
Speaker 1: but um the show that I really uh that I
Speaker 1: got to um cover and also I got I binged already,
Speaker 1: just have the right about it. Um The Boys, It's
Speaker 1: Amazon the original UM series. It it's it's it's about
Speaker 1: this guy who Um played by Quade Hugh Huei. He
Speaker 1: like it's a world of superheroes. There's there's a world
Speaker 1: of superheroes. And Huie and his girlfriend the are just
Speaker 1: hanging out and she gets killed by collateral damage by
Speaker 1: a superhero and no, there's no nothing goes like there's
Speaker 1: no problems with him, Like the superhero gets off the
Speaker 1: hook and Hui meets these people who have been affected
Speaker 1: by Soups and so these these uh, these guys are
Speaker 1: called the Boys. They they're trying to figure out a
Speaker 1: way to destroy the people, the Soups and their empire
Speaker 1: of like um, it's a corporation of Soups. So they're
Speaker 1: trying to bring that corporation down. And I felt like
Speaker 1: it was just a really really it's a really it's
Speaker 1: it's a really it's blacks dark comedy, dark comedy, dark
Speaker 1: like drama, UM dramedy, and it's there's no happy ending
Speaker 1: really but it's just it's intense and there's funny parts,
Speaker 1: but it was just like it kept me. It kept
Speaker 1: my attention, and so I felt like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: this is addicting show. There's it's some problem max s
Speaker 1: uff but it's addiction addicting. It's a problematic in a
Speaker 1: way that's addressing issues. Though like in a in a
Speaker 1: more competituted they're just problematic and they sort of just
Speaker 1: leave it. Maybe one or two problemat things of like
Speaker 1: just leave. I'm like, Okay, that's gonna we're gonna talk
Speaker 1: about that later. But um, overall, it's it's it's it's
Speaker 1: it's it's an addicting show. It's problematic as in like
Speaker 1: it does teach you things like you're like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: it makes you think about how people are raised and
Speaker 1: psychological things of people. But overall it was, Um, it
Speaker 1: was really addicting. It was really really intense and good,
Speaker 1: and it is part of like what I would consider
Speaker 1: like a dark on drama that you just it makes
Speaker 1: you think about things. Cool. I'm excited. It sounds like
Speaker 1: sort of a comedic take on what we've been seeing
Speaker 1: in a lot of the d C movies. I guess
Speaker 1: those are now old so weird. I really get like
Speaker 1: Batman when he starts putting a lot of spy equipment
Speaker 1: into people's houses, and the early Justice League. They're like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we're just gonna make some laws here. And you know,
Speaker 1: I was, you know, not surprised, but disappointed that Wonder
Speaker 1: Woman wasn't there, you know, that Warner Brothers wasn't really present,
Speaker 1: that d C wasn't really you know, because she had,
Speaker 1: I mean, her films coming out next and they dropped
Speaker 1: that killer poster of her. I mean, if you haven't
Speaker 1: seen it, treat yourself. And her gold Eagle armor amazing.
Speaker 1: She is like the best thing to come out of
Speaker 1: you know, d C films. And I really wish that
Speaker 1: they would have had them there. I understand like this
Speaker 1: whole political thing of like some companies being there, some
Speaker 1: companies not, but man, I really wish that they would
Speaker 1: have had had them. Yeah. I think that's a good point,
Speaker 1: because I mean, we don't we don't do this as
Speaker 1: much anymore. But Comic Con used to be treated a
Speaker 1: lot like E three, whereas like E three was like
Speaker 1: who wanted Nintendo Sony or my Acrosoft? And we don't
Speaker 1: do that as much, mostly because you know, I think
Speaker 1: we get inundated with so like it's by the minute
Speaker 1: movie news, so it's not as important, uh you know coming,
Speaker 1: but like yeah, DC kind of ends up losing Comic
Speaker 1: Con because when the stuff that released with Marvel is
Speaker 1: all that we're talking about, when they could have just
Speaker 1: knocked Because at the end of the day, I think
Speaker 1: if we would have got a Wonder Woman trailer, oh
Speaker 1: my god, the Marvel thing would be pushed because it'd
Speaker 1: be like, yeah, Marvel, like this is cool announce We
Speaker 1: don't really get to see anything, and it kind of
Speaker 1: doesn't instill a lot of uh faith as a fan too.
Speaker 1: When we're this close to here film release, you have
Speaker 1: essentially a free platform in which to just blast your
Speaker 1: stuff and we all have we hear nothing. You don't
Speaker 1: release a trailer even like we've been if we think
Speaker 1: about trailer's past, like sometimes it's just mostly of our
Speaker 1: black and it's just like audio, you know, something to
Speaker 1: tease us and get us excited. Why don't you want
Speaker 1: to be excited about Wonder Woman trailer that dropped two
Speaker 1: years ago at Comic Con was the biggest I remember,
Speaker 1: I couldn't be in Hall Age, uh and I was
Speaker 1: in my hotel, like getting ready for a panel. And
Speaker 1: I I like cried, I like watched it multiple times
Speaker 1: in my hotel room. It was just so in her
Speaker 1: riding on the horse and the iconic like ending with
Speaker 1: that iconic music. I mean, it was huge, and I
Speaker 1: just don't Yeah, I mean, I I guess I wish
Speaker 1: that they would have they had, like we said, this
Speaker 1: huge platform to do it. Yeah, especially since there's two
Speaker 1: female like women led films, two women led films with
Speaker 1: Birds of Prey and Wonder Woman, and I'm just like, Okay,
Speaker 1: this would be a perfect time to release, especially with
Speaker 1: two leads and the directors are both like women and like, um,
Speaker 1: Kathy on is directing Birds of Prey and then Patty
Speaker 1: Jenkins when the woman. So I'm like, you know what
Speaker 1: these this would be amazing And Patty was freezing. It's
Speaker 1: not so many Harley Quinn. Did you think she's free
Speaker 1: She tweeted, like, since since we're not going to be there,
Speaker 1: here's a picture that when she's a photo, I'm like,
Speaker 1: she could have been there, and I thought she wanted to.
Speaker 1: You know, they don't control that. Yeah, yeah, directors definitely don't. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's uh, it's suspect. I don't understand. I continue to
Speaker 1: have questions about what Warner Brothers is doing. Let's get together.
Speaker 1: So another thing that happened is this Walking Dead movie,
Speaker 1: which I guess is featuring Rick Grimes. Does this interest
Speaker 1: anyone here at this table? No? Sorry, I love Angela
Speaker 1: hang so much, but I can't tired of The Walking Dead.
Speaker 1: I feel like we haven't done anything new or original
Speaker 1: with the series. Six years going. It's been a long
Speaker 1: time since we felt that spark of like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: it's Walking Dead. We're bad. Um, even the installation that
Speaker 1: they have every single year on the exact scene growth
Speaker 1: of in the series. It's interesting to me that AMC
Speaker 1: is taking from a business perspective. AMC seems to be
Speaker 1: embracing a Netflix model and saying, instead of just launching
Speaker 1: on TV, this is going to be in theaters. Now.
Speaker 1: It feels like maybe three seasons late, trying to do
Speaker 1: something with Rick when he's gone off the show and
Speaker 1: the shows that last season is going to be this one,
Speaker 1: And I don't know, it's a weird feeling. I'm sure
Speaker 1: the die Hearts are going to be first in line.
Speaker 1: I look forward to their excitement and seeing what they
Speaker 1: like about. Yeah, but no, I think that's that's the point.
Speaker 1: It seems like Walking Dead kind of kind of faded
Speaker 1: into this kind of background, white noise of a show,
Speaker 1: and and yeah, I think it's gonna I think the
Speaker 1: idea behind it was like, Okay, he's gone for a bit,
Speaker 1: and so people were gonna want to see this movie
Speaker 1: because he's back. But I don't think it's going to
Speaker 1: have that mass appeal anymore, like Walking Ted kind of
Speaker 1: fell fell off in the zeit guys. So, but I'm curious,
Speaker 1: you know, I always love I would I could see
Speaker 1: it on a streaming platform, but like releasing it wide,
Speaker 1: that's rough we're going up against. Yeah, I don't even
Speaker 1: know if that actor is necessarily a big movie start drink. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I like Andrew Lincoln. He's been great on the show.
Speaker 1: But am I going to pay fifteen dollars to go
Speaker 1: to an AMC and watch him? I'm not sure. I
Speaker 1: wish had released some kind of visual image. I could
Speaker 1: understand that too. The tone of it and the title
Speaker 1: gives me a very eighties like ripped shirt standing on
Speaker 1: a pile of dead bodies by which would be cool
Speaker 1: if that's what they're going for. But I don't even
Speaker 1: know visually, like what's the tone of the movie. All
Speaker 1: I know is it happens after the helicopter crash. I
Speaker 1: don't know who's directing it. I didn't see anything on that.
Speaker 1: And there's just not a lot to get excited about.
Speaker 1: It's weird to announce it was so little. That would
Speaker 1: be fun because I feel like the comic book does
Speaker 1: that a bit where it does like some fun tonal
Speaker 1: things to like surprise the fan. So I would like
Speaker 1: a reimagining of an event in the show in like
Speaker 1: maybe like an eighties grindhouse style that is exciting to
Speaker 1: me and cool and I think innovative. Uh, And it's
Speaker 1: something i'd really like to see. Like even if you
Speaker 1: if like say we took like the battle from Game
Speaker 1: of Thrones, I was like, okay, we're gonna reshoot it
Speaker 1: like this like fantasy epic or reshoot it like like
Speaker 1: that is something I don't think we've seen done and
Speaker 1: excites me in a way where it's like, let's take
Speaker 1: a moment that we all remember and switch it totally
Speaker 1: and make it just a movie. And who are gonna
Speaker 1: be the major players? Like if Carl shows up, I'm
Speaker 1: going to come back. I love Carl as a character.
Speaker 1: I know he's probably for a lot of people, but
Speaker 1: I love an angry teen. I feel like the hormonially
Speaker 1: abused do not get enough credit. They're surviving that crap,
Speaker 1: and uh, I like Carl and his little cowboy hat.
Speaker 1: I want him to come back and I want to
Speaker 1: see him and Rick fighting John Burnthal for me. Although
Speaker 1: I think they did bring him back as a flashback. Yeah,
Speaker 1: just bring you know, he didn't die, just bring him
Speaker 1: all back, like like a walking dead wood, if ye
Speaker 1: kind of thing. I feel like every we just have
Speaker 1: too much fatigue. It's walking to zombie fatigue. Deny is
Speaker 1: also leaving this season, so I mean, I imagine she'll
Speaker 1: be in it, but I mean, how could you make
Speaker 1: a movie and like not bring an actual start, like
Speaker 1: you know, try to have actual stars with star power
Speaker 1: to some extent. So we'll see who they bring. Maybe
Speaker 1: was it Michael Rooker used to be And maybe they're
Speaker 1: just gonna bring anyone that might possibly be a name
Speaker 1: and then just you know, I'm here for back Glenn.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, bring him back. I would watch it
Speaker 1: if you bring him back. I miss him so much.
Speaker 1: That's the last. As soon as the killed Glenn. That
Speaker 1: was like, this show is no longer for me and
Speaker 1: I know interested Glenn and Maggie. Bring them back. Have
Speaker 1: us been off of them? Like Glenn me his child?
Speaker 1: Damn it. We have to take another quick break and
Speaker 1: we'll be back talking more about a recap with Comic
Speaker 1: Con right after this. And we are back, and since
Speaker 1: it is comic Con, it was originally started y'all to
Speaker 1: bell buy and sell comics. I did want to talk
Speaker 1: about comics, so our friend she was on the Women
Speaker 1: in Gaming episode Sam Mag's She had an amazing comic
Speaker 1: that had a huge display that we tweeted from the
Speaker 1: netificent account or posted on Instagram. It's Marvel Action Captain Marvel.
Speaker 1: It debuts in August from I d W. Definitely pick
Speaker 1: it up. She has uh, she has um goose with
Speaker 1: her in the picture, her flirking. It's just amazing. I'm
Speaker 1: so proud of Sam. If you're not falling, Sam, she
Speaker 1: had the biggest comic con, just doing signings, announcing all
Speaker 1: of her comic news. I'm really excited about her Captain
Speaker 1: Marvel comic. So put that in your calendar for August. Joel,
Speaker 1: did you see any cool comics. Sure did. Coming back
Speaker 1: to my friend Mark Bernard and who also had a
Speaker 1: pretty dope comic con Castle Rock season two coming out
Speaker 1: soon on Hulu and then Carnival Rowe coming out on Amazon.
Speaker 1: Season two already booked, and then he also has his
Speaker 1: own comic coming out with Top Cow called Adorra, which
Speaker 1: is about a girl with autism and living interwriting with that.
Speaker 1: UM and what's really cool about that is Marcus raising
Speaker 1: a child with autism. He's very open and frank on
Speaker 1: his Twitter about that. UM, and you can if you
Speaker 1: want to hear about those stories or or uh, you know,
Speaker 1: reflect on somebody who can write like an angel. Mark writes,
Speaker 1: You're gonna cry, it's so beautiful. But a lot of
Speaker 1: the stories he tells about his daughter are just achingly gorgeous. UM.
Speaker 1: And it's cool that he's he's kind of immortalizing that
Speaker 1: in a comic. And I can't wait. They were giving
Speaker 1: out these really dope enamel pins of Adora. UM. Definitely
Speaker 1: check out that comics. Um, Laura, was there anything cool
Speaker 1: that you saw? Yeah? So I'm a hardcore Houvian and
Speaker 1: I so I do buy the comic books. UM I have,
Speaker 1: Like I make sure I always get it every week.
Speaker 1: And they launched thirteen Doctor series because like I mean,
Speaker 1: they it's been ongoing, but they did exclusive stc Cum
Speaker 1: artwork UM with the with the thirteen Doctor number nine.
Speaker 1: The artwork is just so pretty. It's it's and it's
Speaker 1: following the adventures with the with the thirteen Doctor UM
Speaker 1: and we get to meet her. I haven't finished it
Speaker 1: because I Comic Con. It's just crazy, but the artwork
Speaker 1: is just amazing in it and it follows her and
Speaker 1: the adventures with her three companions UM and with the
Speaker 1: new alien race that they actually haven't interacted with on TV.
Speaker 1: So I really enjoyed that the Titans UM comics are
Speaker 1: really expanding them and I think it's preparing us for
Speaker 1: the new season. So it's it's my phil until the
Speaker 1: new season. And Jolie Hauser is the writer and she
Speaker 1: I know, she's so good and she really like the
Speaker 1: with the series she released it. And also Richard Dinnick
Speaker 1: did the thirteen Doctor to Many Lives a Doctor who UM,
Speaker 1: so that issue was out that came out too, So
Speaker 1: I'm really really excited finish it. I have it in
Speaker 1: my in my room because I just came back today,
Speaker 1: So I'm going to sit down and just read it through.
Speaker 1: Did you see that Marvel's um This is completely different,
Speaker 1: but I just wanted to remind myself. The Rise of
Speaker 1: Kylo Wren out in December, the writer wrote, from Ben
Speaker 1: to Wren, I was so excited. I was just like,
Speaker 1: what it looks wild? Yeah, I'm very intrigued. I'm very
Speaker 1: intrigued as there's not a bad one in the bunch yet.
Speaker 1: I can't wait. There's Return Invaders cow Soul, which is
Speaker 1: a spooky story that's coming out for Halloween that will
Speaker 1: be It sounds adorable but possibly terrifying. That one. I
Speaker 1: bet you can handle. Iffy, Yeah, funny enough like horror comics,
Speaker 1: don't bug me like. I picked up junji Eto book
Speaker 1: and I love If you haven't read gunji Eto, I'm
Speaker 1: sure you've seen this stuff online. I got the book
Speaker 1: because it has one of my favorite comics, which is
Speaker 1: the one where the family that lives that owns a
Speaker 1: barbecue uh shop, and they live above it in the
Speaker 1: walls or grease. Everything is covered in grease. So then
Speaker 1: like the youngest the Sun and the kind of protagonists,
Speaker 1: older brother is growing these pimples and is using it
Speaker 1: to bully and has this gross scene that is going
Speaker 1: online where he is squishing his face together and all
Speaker 1: the and it's like dripping down and she's screaming. It's
Speaker 1: like the best scene. I showed it to my and
Speaker 1: I'm there with me the clowns no go. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: know this because it's because the art is so good,
Speaker 1: and it's like those old tales from the crypt comics
Speaker 1: where like it's like this looks gross, but it's also
Speaker 1: such good art that you're like really into it. But yeah.
Speaker 1: Juji Ito also has one where like the person is
Speaker 1: finding their whole and there's like, uh, one day a
Speaker 1: rock splits and people see these human shaped holes. And
Speaker 1: every time someone sees a whole that they believe it
Speaker 1: fits them, they travel out there and go into that
Speaker 1: hole and they're never seen again. Yeah, it's it's very
Speaker 1: it's all that. It's so great. It's very creepy, it's
Speaker 1: well paced. Junji Eto check out. You can read a
Speaker 1: lot of his stuff online, but I truly truly encourage
Speaker 1: you to purchase stuff, which is what I did. But
Speaker 1: the comic that was announced that I'm excited about is
Speaker 1: called Afterlift, which is going to be a Comics Oology original,
Speaker 1: which Comics Oology is an online uh you know e
Speaker 1: comic marketplace owned by Amazon now, which is really cool
Speaker 1: and now they're doing their own originals and helming the
Speaker 1: writing is Chip Zadarski, which, if you don't know, he
Speaker 1: writes this great book called Sex Criminals, which if you're
Speaker 1: unaware of Sex Criminals, read it right away. It's about
Speaker 1: two people who find out when they have sex they
Speaker 1: freeze time. When they have sex in orgasm together, time
Speaker 1: freezes and so what do you do with that power
Speaker 1: other than rob banks? And then you find out that
Speaker 1: you know, grime doesn't pay even when you have time powers. Uh,
Speaker 1: but he's going to be writing it. In the story
Speaker 1: of this is about productive's named Janis Chin who quits
Speaker 1: her day job in finance and signs up to be
Speaker 1: a driver on a ride sharing app. But what was
Speaker 1: first a mundane but enjoyable way to pass the time
Speaker 1: takes a terrible turn when a mysterious passenger upstates his
Speaker 1: ride with a new final destination Hell. And it's a
Speaker 1: five part mini comics, so it should be fun. I
Speaker 1: like short run contain stuff. That's why I like anime
Speaker 1: like uh, anime like Devil Man, cry Baby or tank
Speaker 1: a Top and Gore and log on because I feel
Speaker 1: like when you at a beginning to end, not only
Speaker 1: do you not take all of my life to watch you,
Speaker 1: but it has a nice, fun, contained story. Foully Coolie too. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: so exciting. And then we had duck Tails released this
Speaker 1: massive life is like a hurricane here in duck Berg. Um.
Speaker 1: So yeah. Our buddy Ben Schwartz actually tweeted out to
Speaker 1: this amazing poster um which has everybody y'all. It's like
Speaker 1: Tailspin is in there dark in the m v P.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it's your childhood today. I think they
Speaker 1: showed uh was it power I think they had power
Speaker 1: line today. He saw Goofy. I always know if it's
Speaker 1: anything Good Burger or or Giffy movie related, which, by
Speaker 1: the way, I ran into. I don't know if you'll
Speaker 1: saw scul yes so at anime Expo, actually there was
Speaker 1: a cow, which I love. I love when anyone doesn't
Speaker 1: go with the theme. Uh. Somebody dressed up as Kell
Speaker 1: from Good Burger and was full blown dancing in skates
Speaker 1: just like he does. It was like whoa um and
Speaker 1: I ran into him. At Gas Lamp at San Diego
Speaker 1: Comic Con and we took a picture together and I
Speaker 1: put I posted it, um awesome guy, and yeah, I
Speaker 1: just I was obsessed. Uh so they actually have a
Speaker 1: good Burger pop up here. I don't know if you
Speaker 1: all have been to it yet, not yet. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: his name is actually Cal Underscore Smith seventeen if you
Speaker 1: want to check him out. Really, someone named Cal was
Speaker 1: cosplaying kew Yes and I think he has a picture
Speaker 1: with Kell. But yeah, so we have duck tails, very
Speaker 1: excited about it. Send older versions of them are gonna
Speaker 1: be there, so I'm like, it's really cool, see especially
Speaker 1: dark Wing and Gossil. And I interviewed the creator for
Speaker 1: Revolution Comic Con last year and I asked you would
Speaker 1: you ever, you know, come back for Dark Quen. He
Speaker 1: was like absolutely not, and I was like, but we
Speaker 1: love Like no, no, done with that, and I was like,
Speaker 1: my heart hurts. And so see that there is going
Speaker 1: to be a revival of Dark Queen Duck in some way,
Speaker 1: especially on this show, which is bonkers good. If you
Speaker 1: guys haven't given this show a chance yet, I cannot
Speaker 1: encourage it enough because it's um serialized and I really
Speaker 1: appreciate that kids have cartoons that are stories that are
Speaker 1: constantly involving. Uh. These stories deal very in depth with
Speaker 1: the emotional loss of parents, which I think is something
Speaker 1: that the original cartoon was. Just like, there are the
Speaker 1: kids who don't have parents and they're having fun, but
Speaker 1: these kids missed their mom and it's there's a really
Speaker 1: great story where she comes back and it's heartbreaking and beautiful,
Speaker 1: and my gosh, Danny Pouda is on there, like the
Speaker 1: voice cast is um yes, um. Great stories. Even even
Speaker 1: uh Scrooge gets really good storyline. He falls in love
Speaker 1: and out of love and it's wonderful. And then I
Speaker 1: just have one more piece of news for me personally
Speaker 1: is that Gina Davis is gonna be in Shira and
Speaker 1: the particip of the Power. They had a big presence
Speaker 1: at Comic Con. They had a massive Shira and it
Speaker 1: was so sweet. Someone posted this picture of this little

Speaker 1: to cry. Um so and then she's also gonna be
Speaker 1: in Glow. Yeah she is her poster for that looked
Speaker 1: yeah sick. I'm trying not to crease. Uh she Oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, her and the Lea it's heard so good. Also,
Speaker 1: if anybody you know just wants to get me one
Speaker 1: of those Shira Barbies, literally any of them, I will
Speaker 1: take that. Just like you said, like the like the women,
Speaker 1: they're coming back, like from the from where we grew
Speaker 1: up with the making a huge comeback. So happy. I mean,
Speaker 1: I feel like they've always been there. But still Mahiak
Speaker 1: got announced in the and and did you see the
Speaker 1: storyline and that she got rejected for some sci fi
Speaker 1: movie there They were like, there are no Mexicans in space,
Speaker 1: and so we can't have you on the thing. And
Speaker 1: so for now for her to be in a Marvel
Speaker 1: movie in a lead position. Also, Brian Harry Henry is
Speaker 1: going to be there was I ain't two cents about
Speaker 1: the Eternals and then they announced the cast and I said,
Speaker 1: let me be first in line because I'm so happy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, freaking our ladies that are fifty and like
Speaker 1: they need to be leading these things. And of course
Speaker 1: we have Mexicans in space. We have Diego Luna, so
Speaker 1: you know, and um and well was also um watching
Speaker 1: the UM Lauren Ridlof. She's the first deaf um superhero,
Speaker 1: replacing the white guy who like as a character. And
Speaker 1: so she's the first deaf superhero. I didn't hear about this.
Speaker 1: That's amazing. Like she was I was in the Hall
Speaker 1: of Age for it, and she signed language everyone. She
Speaker 1: was really excited to be part of it. Um and
Speaker 1: someone translated was reading off and it just was this,
Speaker 1: this whole cast for eternals. I felt like it just
Speaker 1: it felt like hell of the space would be UM.
Speaker 1: And so it's so many first like Don Lee's in it, Um, Angeline,
Speaker 1: Julie um Asama Um. It's just there's just so many
Speaker 1: people and I just feel like that's the world that
Speaker 1: we see today. Yeah, it's a lot of people are like,
Speaker 1: you know, this corporation doesn't care about You'm like, but
Speaker 1: I care about it. And being able to see myself
Speaker 1: in it is thrilling. And being able to see other
Speaker 1: types of individuals who never get a chance to be
Speaker 1: on screen be a part of a sci fi universe
Speaker 1: that we've loved for a really long time. Uh, let
Speaker 1: me be excited about that. He has been in the
Speaker 1: gym and he is working and it is showing. And
Speaker 1: I love the fact that Richard Madden had said he's
Speaker 1: the sexiest superhero which is true. Yeah, So we started
Speaker 1: with the Marvel News. I guess we're going to close
Speaker 1: out with the Marvel News. We just talked about Eternals,
Speaker 1: We talked about thor Love and Thunder. Is there anything
Speaker 1: else and Blade? Was there anything else that really stood
Speaker 1: out for y'all. I'm excited for the Looky TV series.
Speaker 1: Kate Bishop is coming to Hawkeye, which is the only
Speaker 1: way any of us were gonna watch that series anyway. Uh,
Speaker 1: just really, oh my, they're really working. And then Black Widow,
Speaker 1: which is a movie I saw I wasn't gonna watch
Speaker 1: because we all know Scarley Johanson has had some issues. Uh.
Speaker 1: And then they announced that cast and I said, ding it,
Speaker 1: I have watch not just David Harbor, but the girl
Speaker 1: from Midsummer is gonna be Pug. The things I heard
Speaker 1: she could do with a knife, I was like, let
Speaker 1: me not miss this. Florence has been killing the game.
Speaker 1: And then who's the older woman and we were just
Speaker 1: talking Rachel Rachel. Yes, Rachel Weiss is also going to
Speaker 1: be in it, as I can only imagine as my girl,
Speaker 1: fatass guy. We're going to get the Budapest story, which
Speaker 1: I'm hoping Cat makes an appearance. Because I'm a cat junkie.
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be good despite what we have
Speaker 1: to deal with in a lead character. Yeah you were
Speaker 1: in there. Wait, okay, so the fight scene was it
Speaker 1: was the best fight scene I have seen like black
Speaker 1: Widdle has ever done, and she's done a mate like
Speaker 1: her Scarlett and her stunt woman has has done amazing
Speaker 1: fight scenes. This just up the notch fighting are just
Speaker 1: amazing than the choreography for it. And um also there's
Speaker 1: they showed them in the trailer at the end with Taskmaster.
Speaker 1: That's going to be a really like, that's a great villain.
Speaker 1: I love Taskmaster. And then finally, just the idea of
Speaker 1: an animated what if series where we I love a
Speaker 1: space where writers can just go wild without consequence. And
Speaker 1: as much as I tell and laud a universal storytelling,
Speaker 1: I think being able to step outside of that and
Speaker 1: do one shots is just as important. It's something that
Speaker 1: it's always been one of my favorite things in comic
Speaker 1: books is when you get like, oh, here's just a
Speaker 1: one off joker story that means nothing, but it's just
Speaker 1: we wanted to explore that idea. Getting to do that
Speaker 1: here and what If? I think it's gonna be really exciting.
Speaker 1: Disney Plus is secured all of our dollars and Jeffrey right,
Speaker 1: it's the Watcher. It's gonna be so good. It's it's
Speaker 1: super great too, because yeah, that that is something comic
Speaker 1: have had that you know, we really haven't got to experience,
Speaker 1: is just the lack of cannon and the freedom to explore.
Speaker 1: That's how we got things like All Star Superman and
Speaker 1: and so like and and Red Sun and so it'll
Speaker 1: be nice to like have a space to just be.
Speaker 1: And also it's just fun, like you know, what if
Speaker 1: Spider Man picked up me on near you know, like
Speaker 1: stuff like that gas like Peggy, if Peggy was Captain America,
Speaker 1: that's going to be funem so excited about it. You know,
Speaker 1: it seems like it's time to take this in for landing.
