Today on the Marvel Cinematic Universe podcast, we have

0:02

a possible, official, possible,

0:04

official synopsis for Deadpool, plus

0:06

new characters from the MCU

0:09

joining the cast

0:11

of Thunderbolts, and other

0:13

news, and lots of

0:16

cool feedback. So we'll be right back after this.

0:18

Welcome to the Marvel Cinematic Universe

0:20

podcast. My

0:26

name is Matthew Carroll. And I'm Ashley Coffin. How

0:29

is your week, Ashley Coffin? I had

0:32

a great weekend, actually, doing a lot of movie

0:34

watching, because it's that time. It

0:36

is indeed. You've got to do more

0:38

to watch than I do. Although we were

0:40

doing the Oscars watch over on Binge of the Symbol, and

0:43

I realized, like, we texted about this,

0:45

but I was like, there's only three

0:47

movies in all the actor categories that aren't

0:49

on the best picture category. So I'm excited,

0:51

because even if we can't get to them

0:53

on Binge's, I feel like I'm going to

0:56

get through all of the main categories.

0:58

And that goes for director, too, because directors don't

1:00

have any. So I'm

1:02

going to get through all the top main

1:04

categories, and most of the other categories, too,

1:07

except for all the animation and

1:09

international stuff. Yeah, yeah. We've been

1:11

looking around it. They're kind of sporadically everywhere.

1:13

I'll have to update our list, because we

1:16

found there some of the documentaries on Disney

1:18

Plus. There are a lot on Netflix. There's

1:20

even a short, which are usually really hard

1:22

for us to find, and then a lot

1:25

on Amazon Prime. So that's good. Oh, yeah,

1:27

that's great. That's awesome. Yeah, I'm excited.

1:29

I'm having fun. I just always have fun this time of year.

1:32

It's just like, particularly this year, and I had mentioned

1:34

this in our coverage of the Oscars, and

1:37

over on Multiverse News, actually. So I don't think I

1:39

mentioned it here, but I just looked at my year

1:42

in review of last year, and because of all the

1:44

family changes and differences and buying a house of a,

1:46

I had watched so few movies, just so few. And

1:48

so getting to go back and watch all the Oscar

1:51

movies has been very fulfilling. And

1:53

there's that art, some

1:55

of it cutting edge, some of it just classic

1:57

legends in the industry. industry

2:00

making great art. Just nice to see

2:02

all that stuff after barely – I

2:04

feel like this year I barely held

2:06

my fingers on nails onto watching Star

2:08

Wars and Marvel and Star Trek and

2:10

the stuff that I like podcast about

2:12

and also most enjoy and

2:15

didn't get to watch that much other stuff. Yeah,

2:18

I went to the movies a lot more

2:20

this year because our podcast too, we started

2:22

doing more reviews over on the horror cast

2:24

so it was fun to go see the screens and the

2:26

this and the that. That's awesome.

2:28

I don't usually see the Oscar movies in

2:30

the theater unless it was like Oppenheimer we

2:33

saw a long time ago but we did go

2:35

see Four Things this past weekend and I will

2:37

say that movie has a lot of nudity and

2:39

a lot of sex but it's also funny and

2:41

everyone in that theater was rigid as hell because

2:43

it was just me and Ken laughing the whole

2:45

time, just the two of us. I'm

2:48

like, come on people, it's already awkward enough.

2:50

You're not going to laugh? It's hysterical.

2:53

You can't laugh at sex. That's not our

2:55

culture. There's a lot of stigma around it.

2:58

Sad. Yeah, indeed.

3:01

It's actually the author

3:03

C.S. Lewis. Big

3:06

Christian author, Lion,

3:09

the Witch and the Wardrobe, all that stuff

3:11

but also he wrote a lot of non-fiction

3:13

sort of Christian stuff and something I always

3:16

remember when he talks about the

3:18

Five Loves, the Four Loves. Four

3:20

Loves is what it's called, Aerosphilia,

3:22

the stuff that's like the

3:24

kinds of love, love for your family, love

3:27

for your partner. He talks about

3:29

Aerosphilia and he begins the

3:31

chapter by saying, the biggest thing we

3:33

need in this country when

3:35

it comes to Aerosphilia is we need

3:37

to laugh more about it. We need to

3:39

take it less seriously and I was like, that's

3:41

cool. It's kind of neat

3:43

from his perspective for that to be

3:46

his first take on Aerosphilia. Sorry,

3:50

that was a weird pull to discuss your

3:52

experiences with the poor things. I'm going to

3:54

see that probably tonight because we're going to

3:56

podcast about it on Wednesday. I'm

4:00

not going to give away any deets here,

4:02

but let's just say it changed. It

4:06

put a real wrench in what we already felt we were

4:08

pretty confident about me and Ken. We're like, oh, God

4:10

damn, this is the wrench movie. This is the

4:12

one we didn't see coming that's going to really

4:14

make it hard to pick certain

4:17

categories and find out more on

4:19

Vingers. Yeah, yeah. I don't know.

4:21

Sorry. We're getting derailed too much with the Oscar

4:23

talk, but that's what Vingers is symbols for. Go over there. We're

4:26

going to do more of that. This

4:28

is the Marvel podcast where we talk about Marvel things.

4:31

Yeah. There's some good news

4:33

this week that I thought was kind of fun. Up

4:36

first, Production Weekly reports

4:38

that Rachel Weisz and Lawrence Fishburne are

4:40

joining the cast of The Thunderbolts. Now

4:43

this is Melina and Bill

4:45

Foster. That's just kind of

4:47

good news, kind of cool. I

4:49

don't know what they'll be playing. It makes

4:52

sense if Yelena is

4:54

one of the main cast members on The

4:56

Thunderbolts. It makes sense she left that Black

4:59

Widow with her mother, so

5:02

it makes sense that she might be in there.

5:04

Yeah. I love Rachel Weisz, so

5:06

she can do whatever she wants. Come

5:08

on back, girl. I'm sure I've said it on the cast

5:10

since she's been in an MCU movie, but I don't really

5:12

have crushes

5:15

on celebrities. Rachel Weisz

5:17

is the one. When I was a teenager and watched

5:20

a mummy. She was so hot in the mummy. Oh

5:23

my goodness. Whatever it is

5:25

about her, she's just a very, very

5:27

pretty lady. I know. We also take

5:29

a moment to say that peak sexiness is pretty much the

5:31

entire cast of The Mummy. Some

5:35

people might think their brother's hot, whatever, but you've got like Optimum,

5:37

Brendan Fraser. You had that guy on

5:40

the horse. I can't remember his name. He

5:42

was hot. The Mummy guy was

5:44

hot. Rachel Weisz was hot. Anaxa and

5:46

the moon was hot. I mean, hot, hot, hot.

5:48

I love that movie. Anaxa and the moon. I love

5:50

that movie too. I love the whole theory. It

5:52

was fun. I really

5:54

like The Mummy series. I think

5:57

we've talked to this for two, but like whatever. I

5:59

was watching the... I watched that a while

6:01

back and realized like it's kind

6:03

of the Marvel tone Like

6:06

obviously this isn't a Marvel movie, but it's

6:08

sort of the Marvel tone before Marvel established

6:11

that as their tone It's very like action

6:14

oriented and this goes back to like Indiana Jones.

6:16

Yeah, it's Indiana Jonesy But I do think there's

6:18

a little bit more Indiana

6:20

Jones is more Is

6:24

less quippy? Indiana Jones

6:26

is funny But most things he says are

6:28

sincere like the Marvel tone has a bit

6:30

more of like people say things

6:32

sort of like making fun of each other

6:34

and sort of like The

6:36

quippiness of bouncing back and forth in

6:39

insincere ways which can a lot of

6:41

people criticize Marvel because it kind

6:43

of can take the The

6:45

edge off the seriousness of something and I

6:48

think that but I love it I love

6:50

that sort of like keeping me entertained with

6:52

quips while building the actual adventure story behind

6:54

It, you know, yeah, yeah, and

6:57

I think that mummy did that before Marvel

6:59

did in a way that like I

7:02

think advanced that sort of adventure

7:04

comedy Whatever romance

7:06

story. I love it. God. I

7:09

love the sport of that movie too everything about

7:11

it. So good Oh, yeah, good stuff. Good stuff.

7:13

I just saw a picture on Facebook They had

7:15

like a showing of the mummy in like, I

7:17

don't know Egypt like a hot like a hominopter thing

7:19

So it's amongst all of the ruins They set up

7:21

a giant screen and it was like a

7:24

private showing at sunset Oh, I'm

7:26

the mummy of the post the picture because I

7:28

definitely save it. I was like, oh my god,

7:30

I would spend all my money That

7:33

is so funny. Like that's such a

7:35

weird thing to do. It feels like

7:38

Like the mummy I mean, I don't know

7:40

how much they consulted culturally on that movie,

7:42

but it feels like the most Reductive

7:45

sort of like more based on

7:47

lore about mummies than actual sort

7:51

of set of viewing inside of

7:54

The ruins that's that's really weird. Yeah,

7:56

it looked great. It looked cool. I

7:59

bet But it did. Oh,

8:01

you know, we focused most on,

8:04

well, honestly, we focused most on the mummy,

8:06

but Rachel Weiss, amazing. I'm excited. But also

8:08

Lawrence Fishburne. I love Lawrence

8:10

Fishburne. And when he was introduced to

8:12

Bill Foster, I thought he was very

8:15

underutilized in that movie. I assumed he

8:17

would be continuing on. And again, just

8:19

like Yelena leads

8:22

to Melina in this movie, Makes Little Sense, Ghost

8:24

is one of the main cast members if

8:26

Bill Foster is still sort of her mentor

8:29

figure, father figure type in the

8:31

movie. Yeah. He'll bring

8:33

a lot of gravitas to anything he's done. And I think

8:36

we haven't seen enough of Bill Foster. I feel like

8:39

he was cast to do more. Yeah. So I

8:42

dig that he's going to show up in this. If he

8:44

is, again, it's not confirmed by Marvel, but production weekly is

8:46

saying they're coming into the cast. Makes

8:49

a lot of sense. Yeah. Um,

8:52

we also had, this was kind

8:55

of funny, apparently the Japanese Deadpool

8:57

website posted

9:00

an official synopsis for

9:03

Deadpool, but it was

9:05

almost immediately deleted. So that

9:07

either means it's not

9:10

correct and they wanted to take it down or

9:12

it was too correct and they thought it would

9:14

lead to too much speculation. So they took, you

9:16

know, like one way or the other, it's either

9:18

too true or not true at all. So grain

9:20

of salt. Uh, but the

9:23

apparent synopsis said, uh, the

9:26

effing irresponsible hero Deadpool will

9:28

change the history of the

9:31

MCU with Wolverine. Yay. Yay.

9:35

Like, I

9:38

think the most interesting thing about that

9:40

is the wording. Yeah. Coming in with

9:42

a hard F. Well,

9:45

yeah. Well that, that too, but,

9:47

uh, the F word

9:49

in the middle of it's funny and interesting for

9:51

an official synopsis. But, um, the

9:53

thing that seems up to me is

9:55

the wording will change the history of the MCU. And

9:58

we fact the fact that we know Deadpool. Deadpool

10:00

2 with like a time

10:02

travel device and we know this

10:04

is a multiverse saga so he's gonna hop around

10:07

the past like we'll change the

10:09

history of the MCU not just we'll

10:11

change the MCU I think we're

10:13

gonna get X-Men oh my god like staples

10:16

like oh for sure I think

10:19

this will absolutely bring not only Deadpool into

10:21

the MCU but it will bring some of

10:23

the X-Men cast to

10:26

interact in the MCU but I don't know at what level

10:28

I don't know if we're like that

10:30

universe will die and we'll just get some

10:32

characters that will cross over or I don't

10:34

know what's gonna happen. I don't

10:36

know I'm excited though. Yeah

10:39

me too. I've been trying to stay away

10:41

from all of the leaked pictures and stuff

10:43

like that I wish people would stop posting

10:45

them and doing it because I know it's

10:47

gonna be hard to be surprised but I

10:50

want that childlike Christmas morning feeling every

10:52

time I see someone pop up that I wasn't sure

10:54

like I don't want to see the pictures. Yeah

10:56

I don't know anything yet I mean like I

10:59

know Wolverine that was officially announced but

11:01

like that's all I know and I

11:04

know it's supposed to be happen in the MCU I know a

11:06

lot of characters have been said they're coming but we don't know

11:08

for sure and so I'm just staying

11:11

away actually a lot of them are officially announced but

11:13

like I'm still kind of like ignoring it until I

11:15

actually see it in the movie. I had to delete

11:17

true recently that were set shots that did not make

11:19

me happy. Ooh yeah in

11:21

the Strandpan chat that's no good. Not

11:24

good people don't post that stuff. Don't post it

11:26

don't send it in the emails nothing. The

11:29

good thing is that whole like Ryan Reynolds story we

11:31

talked about a few weeks ago where he like flooded

11:34

the zone with a bunch of fake ones. Yeah. So

11:36

it's totally possible some of those were the fake ones

11:38

you know what I mean like the possibility. Possibility.

11:43

Okay another Thunderbolt story we have.

11:46

Lewis Pullman is

11:48

apparently being touted as a top

11:50

choice to replace Steven Yun in

11:52

the Thunderbolts which I

11:54

don't think his character was ever confirmed but

11:56

a lot of people speculated. Century or it

11:58

was leaked or something. think that it might

12:01

be Sentry from Marvel Comics. Lewis

12:07

Pullman is Bill Pullman's son, who I like,

12:09

Bill Pullman. But

12:12

I just saw him in Lessons in Chemistry. If

12:14

any of you have seen Lessons in Chemistry, he

12:16

was the love interest for

12:19

Brie Larson in that, and

12:22

he's great. He's really great in

12:24

that. So has a very likable

12:26

charm to him. Oh, he was in

12:28

Top Gun. He was in Bad Times with the El

12:30

Royale. He was in The New Strangers. Yeah, he's done a

12:32

lot of stuff. Yeah. I

12:35

think he has a really nice delivery,

12:38

nice charisma. I

12:40

am down with Lewis Pullman joining the

12:42

cast as well. Just basically

12:44

this week, three new possible cast

12:46

joinings, and I really dig them all. Very

12:49

cool. Yeah, I don't know when

12:52

to... Oh, we should say. We

12:54

got a lot of feedback last week. This

12:58

is not news. This is a correction

13:00

from us, from me specifically, because I

13:03

said last week, it was just old information,

13:05

I said Deadpool was coming out May, because

13:07

I just misremembered. I forgot about the move

13:09

back. It is not coming out in May.

13:12

It's coming out July 26th. They

13:14

don't make it easy. No, they don't.

13:16

Well, this year particularly, all the strikes and

13:18

the shuffling, because what we originally

13:20

heard was that Thunderbolts

13:23

was May, and Deadpool was November,

13:25

I believe. Then they

13:27

inverted that when they decided to push

13:29

back Thunderbolts, and they moved Deadpool forward,

13:31

and then they pushed back the whole

13:33

slate again when the strike went on

13:35

longer. We had

13:38

May on our dock, and I just didn't...

13:40

We hadn't updated it apparently. My

13:42

bad, my bad. Rachel

13:44

Titsworth, one of our patrons wrote that in. Thank

13:47

you, Rachel, but also for other people in the chat

13:50

and stuff. Sorry about that. My

13:52

bad. Let's see. I

13:56

just thought you'd enjoy

13:58

this story, because I feel like you're... you

14:00

came in pretty hot last time we talked

14:02

about Zoe Saldana. Zoe

14:06

Saldana came out and she was asked if

14:09

she would like to play a character for James

14:11

Gunn over at DC and her quote was yes

14:13

I do I do I love the superhero universe

14:15

of I love the

14:17

superhero universe of any sort. I have

14:20

sons that are obsessed with comic books right

14:22

now and superheroes so for me to be

14:25

a part of projects that will be they

14:27

will get to be watching for the next 10 to 15 years of their lives

14:31

is it's a dream to me sorry I

14:33

was terrible reading that my bad she

14:37

added if it

14:39

never gets to happen or if it

14:41

happens with other filmmakers and not James

14:43

Gunn or if it happens again with

14:46

James Gunn I would be so grateful.

14:49

Look who's crawling back. She

14:53

had some she had some words last year that came

14:55

out we were like

14:57

I get it I get what she's saying but

15:00

she had said that she was what

15:03

was the actual wording artistic she

15:05

felt the last decade of being

15:08

in all franchise movies she felt

15:10

artistically stuck. Right and I

15:12

get it Chris Evans did the same thing.

15:15

Right for sure but like it

15:18

doesn't it's one of those like

15:20

yeah must be nice to be so artistically

15:22

stuck to being like the biggest like she's

15:25

got one of the largest takes

15:27

of any actor with the franchise she I think

15:30

it's the largest I think she has the largest

15:33

net income off of movies because

15:35

she's in the Avatar

15:37

all Guardians of the Galaxy and

15:40

the Avengers and

15:42

in Star Trek she's got these huge

15:45

franchises so it's sort of like okay

15:47

like it feels it comes

15:49

off a little like whiny at the people who

15:51

like would loved any one of us would love

15:53

to do what she's doing yeah I would have

15:55

played Gamora forever and ever and ever you know

15:57

she's one of my favorite characters too I loved

16:00

And I love what she did with it. Yeah. Oh,

16:02

she's great. She's freaking great in all three of

16:04

those franchises. She's freaking great. But

16:07

it's understandable and it's annoying.

16:10

So she has definitely kind of come back. And

16:12

apparently she also a few months ago tried

16:15

to sort of step it back. So she's been stepping those

16:17

comments back. I think she probably got a lot of heat

16:19

for it. Yeah. She's been very like,

16:21

no, no, I love doing these movies. And maybe, you know,

16:23

those two things can be true at the same time. It's not like

16:26

she has, it's not like she has to be stepping it back to

16:28

say that she also loves doing them. But it's

16:30

like, it feels a little like I'm

16:33

moving away from franchise movies. And that's like,

16:35

give me any franchise movie you want. I'll

16:37

do it. I'll do anything.

16:39

Anyway. It's okay, Zoe.

16:42

We will take you back. Open arms. Anytime.

16:45

Absolutely. Open arms.

16:47

Open arms. Open arms. Open.

16:51

Creed. Whoa. Oh,

16:53

man. Oh,

16:55

man. Um, this

16:58

story just is set of stupid, but

17:00

I liked, liked it to throw

17:02

in here as just almost a silly joke. Tom

17:06

Holland's box office bonus for

17:08

one of the Avengers movies was

17:11

sent to British actor Tom Hollander

17:14

by mistake. He

17:16

talked about it on late night TV. I

17:19

think it was Seth Meyers, if I'm not mistaken. It

17:22

was like apparently a seven figure sum,

17:24

like so like millions of dollars just

17:26

sent to his bank account. And then

17:28

he realized, man, keep your mouth shut.

17:31

Yeah, right. He was talking about how apparently he was,

17:33

uh, he had just

17:35

gotten a big check for one of his movies. It

17:37

was like 30 grand and he was like, Hey, my account's

17:39

looking pretty good. And then he's like, Oh,

17:42

millions. Okay. Just

17:45

like appeared in his bank account. I'm just like, Oh, I

17:47

don't even, I'm trying to figure out, do they

17:49

have the same like agent? Does it, because it

17:51

Marvel wouldn't have paid him. Yeah.

17:54

So it apparently it's because it was through, I guess,

17:57

sag or something. I, is it what I read? One

18:00

of the unions is like how the money

18:02

gets directed and they have the same agent

18:04

and their names are so similar That it's

18:06

not just got misrouted At

18:09

least at the time they had the same agent it said so Yeah,

18:12

just funny. I love Tom Hollander. He was so good

18:14

in the white Lotus and then he has the new

18:17

Ryan Murphy coming out Feud

18:19

which is about Capote and like the

18:21

Swan sisters and stuff it was a big deal

18:23

back in like I believe the Late

18:26

70s 80s ish. I can't

18:28

remember exactly but it's like a stat cast.

18:30

It's Demi Moore. It's Diane

18:33

Lane Naomi Watts Molly Ringwald

18:37

Somebody else very famous that I know

18:40

I'm forgetting but it looks it looks great Yeah,

18:43

yeah, it's awesome. I I've liked him when

18:45

everything I've seen him to it's really good

18:48

You got to think like when Tom Holland

18:50

became one of the biggest stars in the world

18:53

You got to think he had that had been a

18:55

little annoying, you know, like all of a sudden the

18:57

name you've been building your whole life Tom Hollander Like

19:00

suddenly is gonna be confused And

19:02

so like there's got to be a temptation when that

19:05

comes in your bank account to be like finally I'm

19:07

getting paid though Like like the

19:09

recompense for all that like all

19:11

the lost branding that I've gotten because of

19:14

his name so similar Like

19:16

I was in Pirates. I deserve this money.

19:18

Right? Thanks

19:23

Yeah, but I guess I guess they probably sorted it out and

19:25

sent it back and I wasn't in the article But I would

19:28

have spent that money And

19:31

they've been like I didn't know what

19:33

do you mean? How could I have

19:35

known it was direct deposit? Yeah, like

19:37

I just I didn't even I don't

19:39

take my bank account. You know,

19:41

I'm an actor and just kept spending Alright

with the with it's the new kinda

23:55

finish and. Okay,

23:59

Next Matthew. The full rebate and says

24:01

hey ya just listen to the commissioned

24:03

episode you did on the shows We

24:05

didn't know we need only halfway through

24:07

and you're all excited about your were

24:09

conned a mole theory. Or

24:12

finish later. But it had me thinking about

24:14

a condo I have with some friends. What

24:17

genre of movies do you wish they

24:19

would come out with? I have to.

24:22

I. Needed Terrance T. know out

24:24

of sequence chapter movie based

24:26

in New Orleans. introduce Gambit,

24:29

Cloak and Dagger and have

24:31

Wolverine and Rogue. All interconnected

24:33

chapters are throwing rocks on

24:35

or Mr. Sister. Yeah,

24:38

Number two: a World War Two

24:41

plus Foxhole type movies or Vietnam/apocalypse

24:43

Now type movie. Instead of having

24:45

the time frame of all the

24:47

disease been weeks or months or

24:49

years, give me a two and

24:51

a half hour movie that is

24:53

just about six or seven characters

24:55

in the midst of a battle,

24:57

maybe separated trying to get to

24:59

each other. It would be great

25:01

way to show relationships and. Brutal.

25:04

Way to kill off a beloved character

25:06

in a way. A curious if you'll

25:08

have a particular genre you want to

25:10

see played out. Why

25:14

always on a C? Attention hostile and ah

25:16

yeah, that sounds like a lot of fun.

25:18

But I feel like if they did it is. they do the

25:20

gambit thing you could do. A totally with Mister

25:23

Sinister. I love how he does has

25:25

like harm as he vibes. See,

25:27

you could totally do some kind of light. Har

25:30

for a zen like death bed

25:32

and and Mrs Sinister and all

25:34

that stuff and him. Joining I can't

25:36

remember the Hellfire Club and stuff like man I

25:38

love that whole sorry. Yeah. Nice

25:41

hundred and something. really cool and and

25:43

that's up. Free X Men Zheng Cel.

25:45

Yeah. Said. Way to in at. Is no?

25:47

Yeah, Absolutely. And as I think this

25:50

is a really solid idea, I generally

25:52

like what a mess is going for

25:54

here, which is like. one

25:56

of the things that makes all of the m

25:59

c you feel safe is

26:01

the fact that they go with this very tried

26:04

and true but similar like

26:06

time period like the flow of

26:08

time feels somewhat similar except for

26:10

Eternals which goes for

26:13

the like epic over the course of

26:15

centuries type thing right all of

26:17

the movies feel like they happen over

26:19

a couple of weeks or a weekend

26:21

or whatever it doesn't feel and that's

26:23

a that's a very like normal way

26:25

to write a blockbuster so like I see why

26:27

they do it but I think one way they

26:29

could really shuffle things up is do something like

26:32

this with you know like he mentions

26:34

the Tarantino thing but I love his idea

26:36

for like something like 1917 where it's like

26:40

a single you know the movie lasts the length

26:42

of the time that they are in the movie

26:44

like it is exactly like you could do it

26:46

as a single shot like 1917 or what is

26:50

it called Silent House that's one that

26:52

I really you like Silent House I

26:55

don't know that it's and

26:57

I'm into war movies this

26:59

is not a war movie is a a

27:02

single shot movie okay but

27:05

it stars with Olsen just why it's

27:07

very appropriate and it's a horror so

27:10

yeah yeah yeah I've seen it I've seen it

27:12

yeah let me look it up real fast but

27:14

I think I know what you're talking about yeah

27:16

it's I think it's awesome I love it it's

27:18

an it's a little bit of Olsen and the

27:21

movie is all in a single shot

27:23

you know supposedly like obviously there's hidden

27:25

cuts just like all of those movies

27:27

or most of those movies do but

27:29

it's pretty fun and it the single

27:31

shot thing works really well for a

27:33

horror because you feel very like pinned

27:36

in and I think it feels the same

27:38

way you feel with a war movie or

27:40

a battle movie like yeah

27:42

I think this is a really really great idea

27:44

and both of Matthew's ideas like play with the

27:46

element of just how you structure time in the

27:49

movie and that can have such a great effect

27:51

on how the genre feels and I think it

27:53

would make a big difference it's like you you

27:55

set it in the MCU you do

27:57

everything like all the characters are the same

27:59

All the actors are the same, but

28:02

it's directed in a way that just uses time

28:04

differently. I think Matthew's onto something big there. I

28:06

think that could set a movie

28:09

apart completely. It would feel like a totally different

28:11

kind of movie, but it could still fit in

28:13

the universe. Yeah. Yeah.

28:16

I love that. Trying to think of what would work for

28:20

something like that. Like

28:22

who? Yeah. Well,

28:25

my immediate... Because he says World War II

28:27

and Foxholes, I immediately go to Wolverine

28:29

and I'm like, in Cap. They

28:32

talked about that a few years ago, the possibility of

28:34

a Wolverine and Cap

28:36

movie set some time in the

28:39

time period where Cap goes back in time and lives

28:41

out his years. It's cool.

28:43

It would be really, really cool. But

28:46

that just immediately goes there because he mentioned World War II,

28:48

I feel like. Yeah. I

28:51

think the idea of a

28:54

battle sequence or the idea of

28:56

a horror type element. He

28:58

was talking about the Hellfire Club or whatever. He was talking about

29:00

the Hellfire Club. He was talking about Mr. Sinister. What

29:03

if you were on the streets of New

29:05

Orleans and there's a killer chasing our main

29:07

character and they're trying to stop people from

29:10

dying, but it's all... The

29:12

time period is truncated to those few hours.

29:15

There's someone down in the French

29:17

Quarter murdering people and there's a

29:19

villain happening. You can almost do

29:21

a Cloverfield type down

29:24

on the ground while there's big things happening

29:26

and you've got Gambit still

29:28

young doing what he can with his powers

29:30

to save as many as friends or whatever

29:33

as he can. Or make it the brood

29:35

with those creepy mutant things that lived under. I'm pretty

29:37

sure it was under them. The city and had to

29:40

do with all of them. You

29:42

said under the city there was that? Yeah. I'm

29:45

pretty sure they hung out in the sewers at

29:47

first, but then it became a problem. I'm pretty

29:49

sure that ties in with Gambit and stuff. Even

29:52

if it doesn't, the brood time, the X-Men. You

29:54

could definitely do... Man, what if you

29:57

did an X-Men movie with

29:59

the brood? But it was shot in

30:01

the style of like an alien sci-fi

30:04

horror like alien aliens, you know they

30:07

they're kind of like Scrolls

30:10

a little bit now that I'm there are

30:12

insect toy beings who travel through space to

30:14

find host to infest with their spawn Mm-hmm.

30:18

Yeah, but I mean there were

30:20

definitely excellent but that is very

30:22

similar to xenomorphs Yeah,

30:24

Empress brood is the leader Yeah,

30:27

like you could do that sort

30:29

of like again very

30:31

isolated very in a can

30:33

like space horror Movie

30:36

with like a xenomorph type story.

30:38

Yeah with the brood that could be

30:40

really fun. That'd be fun We're

30:42

sort of sticking to Matthew's idea, which I because I

30:45

really like it I really like the idea of just

30:47

changing up the time and what does it mean to

30:49

the story and it Immediately ideas

30:51

start coming. Yeah. Oh, I meant I miss

30:53

confusing the brood with the Morlocks my bad

30:55

That's that's the people who lived in the

30:57

uh, the sewers and stuff.

31:00

Okay. Okay cool Vareen's girlfriend or

31:02

whatever Calisto and stuff I don't know X

31:08

that's actually really funny. Why did they never

31:10

have a title called X girlfriend? Oh, that

31:12

would be great. Really be really good Like

31:17

all ex-girlfriends of like Wolverine

31:19

it's like X Girlfriends,

31:22

there was another one with the long fingernails. She

31:24

was great too. She was in the movie Yeah,

31:28

oh gosh, I I had

31:30

such a low exposure to the comics when I was a

31:32

kid. I'd read like the big The

31:36

big arcs but I wouldn't have I never had the

31:39

chance to read all the book with smaller books so

31:41

like most of my exposure to those characters comes

31:43

from The trading

31:45

cards like I had a lot in cards when I

31:47

was a kid and go through those like crazy and

31:49

read all the backs And I know lady death

31:52

strike lady death strike. That's it. Okay. Can't

31:54

remember what her That was my brain like

31:57

going through all of my trading cards as the kid

31:59

and said who that was. Yeah,

32:01

she had the long fingernails and they put her in X2

32:03

and she was not great in that. Yeah,

32:07

as many things weren't in that universe.

32:09

Yuriko, that was it. Okay, that's what

32:11

I was doing. Okay, cool, cool. And

32:13

is that same Lady Deathstrike? That's her,

32:15

yeah, that's her character name. Cool. That's

32:18

her, not her made up, not her made up name, but

32:20

her other name. Yeah.

32:23

So, okay, but to get away

32:25

from Matthew's specific feedback here, what

32:28

is a genre that pops to

32:30

mind that you would like to see the

32:32

MCU tackle? Getting away from the time dilation

32:35

thing we're talking about, what would

32:37

be, is there any genre you'd really like to

32:39

see the Matthew tackle? Well, I mean, I'm

32:41

still, I like horror. I think they did a great

32:43

job with Doctor Strange. I think they could have gone a

32:45

little farther. But

32:48

I feel like that worked so well that they

32:50

could keep doing that and maybe make it more

32:52

of a rated R and go towards some

32:54

of the creepier Marvel characters.

32:57

Yeah. Oh yeah. I

33:03

absolutely agree. I think that that sounds super fun.

33:05

And I do think that like, as much as

33:07

Doctor Strange's mom was like, billed

33:10

as a horror, and it had

33:12

horror elements, of course, Sam Raimi did a

33:14

great job bringing those to the movie. It's

33:16

still very much the, the Marvel formula. You

33:18

know, it's very much the, it's

33:21

like horror elements mapped on top

33:23

of a Marvel movie, instead of

33:25

like, building a horror movie

33:27

from the ground up inside the Marvel universe, I

33:30

think what you'd like to see. Yeah.

33:32

And it's like they did whatever

33:34

they did with Morbius or whatever.

33:36

And it was, Venom could have

33:38

been more of a horror, but they went comedy

33:40

and I don't know, I'm like, do

33:43

what you did with the original Blade movie. That worked

33:45

out fine. You had the action, you had the horror,

33:47

and that was great. And I'm hoping

33:49

that's what they do here, but then they say already that the

33:51

new Blade movie was going to be PG-13 now. I don't

33:55

know that, I don't know if that's been

33:57

announced. And at this point, even if it

33:59

had, has been announced of shirts and

34:01

flux because they're about to do Deadpool

34:03

3 in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. First

34:05

thing that's in the MCU, they just

34:07

did Echo, which was the first like,

34:09

MA thing to do in the... So

34:11

like, they didn't push the boundaries very

34:13

much in Echo, but it is

34:15

the first MA thing, if I'm not mistaken. I don't

34:18

think Moon Knight was MA. No,

34:20

and neither was Werewolf by Night. Yeah,

34:23

partially because of the black and white.

34:27

Like, get away with some of the blood splatter and stuff.

34:29

Oh, yeah. They used the old F for Tish and X

34:31

things. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think that's a great idea. So

34:33

if they did a horror, is there

34:35

a character that

34:38

you'd like to see that is

34:40

that horror character? I

34:44

mean, we've mentioned the brood. Like, they could do

34:46

some sort of monster movie with that. I would

34:48

stick to kind of like the

34:50

Hellfire Club and like Emma Frost and

34:52

Mr. Sinister. Because Mr. Sinister, like,

34:55

Nathaniel Essex is like one of my favorite

34:58

villains. And we haven't seen him yet. And

35:00

he's just got the creepy teeth. He's got

35:02

the red eyes. You know, he looks like a

35:04

monster. So I would really like to see them

35:06

do something with him. Yeah, I

35:09

think there's a whole dark

35:11

universe of

35:13

characters. And we've been talking about Werewolf

35:16

by Night, Man-thing, all

35:19

the blade characters, all the sort of

35:22

supernatural, again, Morbius,

35:25

Venom, like, just all the sort of, especially

35:27

the mystical realm stuff, I feel like, is

35:29

rife for that kind of story. Yeah.

35:33

But I don't know the comics well enough

35:35

to be like, this is the perfect character. I'm

35:38

trying to think for me, like, what would

35:40

be my genre of choice? And like, my

35:42

mind goes, like, what's my favorite genre of

35:44

choice? And like, I first go to like,

35:49

well, you know what? I'm going to stick with my

35:52

favorite genre as I've stated on this podcast. Because I

35:54

was about to say time travel, because that's

35:56

what kept popping in my head, is I want a good time

35:58

travel story. But we've got that now. We've had tons

36:01

of good time travel stories now. Well, at

36:03

least we've had time travel stories. We've had

36:05

in-game, amazing time travel story, and

36:07

now we're gonna be getting Deadpool, which I think

36:09

is gonna be a really fun time travel story.

36:12

We've got the TVA. We're rife with

36:14

time travel stories. I'm okay on that front. I

36:16

don't really want them to do more than they're

36:18

doing with time travel, because it can muddy the

36:21

waters for the rest of the stories. So

36:24

let me go with Hitman romantic

36:26

comedy, which I've said many

36:28

times is my favorite genre of movie. Uh-huh.

36:31

Uh-huh. Uh, I

36:33

love a good Hitman romantic comedy. I don't know

36:35

why. Like a lot of times they're

36:37

like not even well-known movies, but I'll see one

36:40

and be like, man, I just love Hitman

36:43

romantic comedy. So who's a good Marvel Hitman?

36:45

Like who pops to mind? I

36:49

don't, I'm not, I'm not, I think

36:51

of DC Hitman. I mean, we, there's

36:53

Clint. That's true.

36:56

Uh. That actually, well yeah, see

36:59

like the Hitman romantic comedies, and the reason

37:01

I always liked them is there's this dark

37:03

nature of the guy or girl running around

37:05

killing people. Or, and

37:07

it's also like the spy romantic comedy, but it

37:10

keeps it light with like the romantic comedy side,

37:12

right? Yeah. And so

37:14

I'm trying to think of a good character though, that would like.

37:16

Well, there is Hitman. Okay.

37:20

Like just say he's a Hitman. I'm not sure if he's

37:22

a bad guy or not, but he's Punisher. He's

37:24

in the Punisher comics. I

37:26

mean, I think we could do that with the Punisher. Yeah, I feel

37:29

like at least as portrayed by John

37:31

Bernthal, that version of the Punisher, and

37:33

all versions of the Punisher I think,

37:35

are just so broody. Like you can't

37:37

do a real, like, it can make

37:39

it fun. You could, I guess you

37:41

could. Like I'm trying to think if

37:43

there's like a way, like is there any, yeah,

37:45

I can't, I mean, well, you know what?

37:47

I say all that to say, we

37:50

have a Hitman romantic comedy and it's Deadpool. Yeah.

37:53

Deadpool is a great Hitman romantic comedy. And

37:56

we kind of got that. Well, I

37:58

guess those ones that we haven't explored. Yeah, there's

38:00

well if we have but like there's bullseye

38:02

and then there's domino and all those

38:04

people were already introduced I'm trying to think of

38:08

Yeah, I don't know you could do it

38:10

with Kate Bishop. I don't know taskmaster. Yeah.

38:12

Yeah. Yeah. Oh Taskmaster

38:15

could be fun. I don't know that

38:17

I got the comedy vibes from her either yet Anyway,

38:22

and those are the those are the genres that pop to mind

38:24

I don't know if I have a good character off the top

38:26

of my head to like bring into that But I I do

38:29

like the idea but I honestly Matthew

38:32

like kind of blew my mind with the idea

38:34

of just like You almost

38:36

don't need to think about

38:38

what genre you're making if you just

38:40

change the time scale it would make

38:43

Such a different movie in the MCU like

38:46

you could do almost the exact same thing

38:48

the exact same storyline But just

38:50

tell two hours over the course of two

38:52

hours and that becomes a totally different movie.

38:55

Mm-hmm I don't like that idea a

38:57

lot and and his his mention

38:59

of like the Tarantino esque like something

39:02

like four rooms

39:04

or pulp fiction or whatever like I My

39:08

mind goes to like that's what they should have done with uh Eternals

39:11

again like tell the eternal

39:14

story from different perspectives

39:16

over different I'm kind

39:18

of thinking of episodes again, like we've talked about but

39:20

like I don't know.

39:22

I don't know Yeah,

39:25

anyway, I don't know what the best story for that would

39:27

be but like yeah Okay

39:31

Last feedback we have on the docket for

39:33

today Timothy Castillo one

39:35

of our patrons says silent but deadly

39:39

Farts I think he's talking about

39:41

farts. He says hey jam.

39:43

I was thinking about Kang the

39:45

real world the fictional world Um

39:49

Haley Hobb suggested on multiverse news

39:51

a while back that the

39:53

person cast as Kang needs to be a big name

39:56

To generate excitement and I agree. I

39:59

think that is true but only

40:01

for the initial casting. Now that

40:04

the pan has flashed and the

40:06

dish is being plated... Are

40:09

you a chef? Either

40:12

he's a chef or he's been watching The Bear. I

40:16

think the best thing would

40:18

be to introduce a new actor with no

40:21

fanfare or character we

40:23

don't know yet, a great new

40:25

character that we fall in love

40:28

with as a hero, and then

40:30

the reveal is he becomes the

40:32

Kang we now know as he

40:34

who remains, the Conqueror. As

40:37

someone who plans ahead and knows

40:39

this version would come along to fool

40:41

our heroes. I know

40:43

there's precedent for something like that in

40:45

the comics. We've seen him

40:47

defeat... Defeated. We've

40:50

seen him defeated now in the movies and

40:52

in Loki. Perhaps we get a revenge

40:55

story of sorts where

40:57

a previously defeated villain unleashes

40:59

wrath on our heroes. Kang!

41:03

That's a Star Trek reference. It is! I didn't

41:06

get that reference. I can't

41:08

believe I didn't get that reference. Gah! I

41:12

love it. Please, please marvel. That's a

41:14

great pull, Timothy. Like that would be a

41:16

great easy Star Trek

41:18

reference without being overly done having someone

41:21

go, Kang! Okay, what

41:23

do you think about some kind of

41:25

surprising reveal of Kang in the movies

41:27

instead of a news scoop? I

41:30

think that would be a far more entertaining

41:32

personally. Love the cast, Tim.

41:36

Hmm. Again, Tim's feedback

41:38

got my brain cooking when I was reading it

41:41

earlier and like I love

41:44

the idea. I just I completely

41:46

agree with him. It's way more compelling to see

41:48

it on the screen than to be told in

41:51

the news who Kang is gonna be. It happened

41:53

in Loki. We didn't know he was gonna be

41:55

in Loki at all. We knew who Kang had

41:57

been cast as and then when he just stepped

41:59

out of that... elevator, it blew our

42:01

minds. They should know by

42:03

now that's what blows our mind. If you blow

42:06

it, show us the casting,

42:08

tell us everything on the screen.

42:10

Don't tell us too much. What

42:15

he's referencing here when he says he knows they

42:17

did something like this in the comics, he's referencing

42:19

Iron Lad who showed up in The Young Avengers,

42:21

spoiler alert for that comic book series we've talked

42:23

about before. Iron Lad, you

42:25

find out after he's there fighting alongside

42:28

The Young Avengers for a while that

42:30

he is Kang from the future. Kang

42:35

sent him back and he is a version

42:37

of Kang who is destined to become Kang

42:39

the Conqueror but he is Iron Lad and

42:41

he doesn't know it. It's

42:47

one of those things if he doesn't

42:49

become the Kang the Conqueror version,

42:52

it will end up unraveling the time

42:54

stream and killing everyone anyway. He

42:56

has to choose to become the villain even

42:58

though he doesn't want to. In

43:01

the comics he's dating Cassie to

43:03

Cassie Lang. It's a really

43:06

Buffy-esque thing where he has to

43:08

go turn evil to save her

43:10

life but it's

43:12

just this weird terrible sacrifice.

43:16

I love the idea of bringing that in

43:18

but doing it with a different character. I

43:21

know changing the comics is always sticky

43:24

because people care about how the comics went

43:26

but if you bring Iron Lad into this,

43:28

I'm going to be the entire time thinking

43:30

he's Kang. You

43:32

already have an Iron Heart in the story so

43:35

you don't really need an Iron Lad. I

43:38

think they do bring in some other

43:40

character and then do that

43:42

storyline but don't

43:45

forecast it. It's

43:47

like surprise me, misdirect me in such

43:49

a way that you're... Lie to me

43:51

Marvel. Lie to me. I've

43:53

said it many times. Just lie to me Marvel. I

43:56

feel like the last time I was actually so

43:58

surprised is I had... know that

44:00

vision was going to be in Age of Ultron. I don't

44:02

know how I skipped by not knowing any of that was going

44:04

to happen. I definitely watched the trailers. I

44:07

know that there he's on the poster, but

44:09

I didn't even notice it. And then I

44:11

was shocked. I was full Lord

44:13

when that happened. That's a loved it. Oh yeah.

44:15

But that's the last time I remember actually finding

44:18

out something while watching the movie.

44:21

Because it's just not the world we live in anymore. Yeah.

44:24

I mean, like, I try

44:26

never to watch trailers after the

44:29

like, there's always like the second or third trailer

44:31

that's like a month or two before. And that's

44:33

the last one I watch because the weeks leading

44:35

up to the movie, they'll release like full scenes

44:37

that give you too much. Yeah, I don't like

44:39

it. I hate it. But

44:42

so I've

44:44

been surprised by like plot points, but

44:47

like really shocked by like a reveal.

44:49

Yeah, I'm trying to

44:51

remember. I mean, the biggest one is

44:53

five years later. Yeah. Yeah. We

44:55

guess there was gonna like we went into that knowing

44:57

there was going to be a time jump, though. I

45:00

think we were pretty convinced. We were convinced

45:02

there'd be a time jump. But every time we

45:04

talked about it, we were talking about it as

45:06

like an alternate future that they would be going

45:08

back to fix. Yeah, every

45:10

time we talked about it, we were like,

45:12

okay, so it's gonna happen. It's gonna be

45:14

the future and like Tony Stark or Bruce

45:18

Banner will have worked up some time travel

45:20

device to go back and save everybody. But

45:23

like, they didn't say they saved everybody,

45:25

but they didn't undo the five years.

45:27

And that has completely changed

45:30

the universe in such a

45:32

cool way. So it's like giving it

45:34

stakes without without them having

45:36

to lose like they still they still got to

45:38

win and get everybody back. But like, they had

45:40

to deal with that five years, which is

45:43

actual character development instead of just like, having

45:46

the characters go back and stop the thing before it

45:48

happened, which is kind of what we all thought. Like

45:50

I was so I was sort of disinterested. I was

45:53

I was excited for the movie, but I was sort

45:55

of disinterested in like what they were gonna do because

45:57

I just assumed they were gonna undo everything. Right, right.

46:00

I was never really like it

46:02

hurt to see spider-man disappear and

46:04

to see like Groot reach for rocket and stuff

46:07

But like it didn't I never thought they

46:09

were gone Right, right and

46:11

like they weren't but still rocket had

46:13

to live five years thinking Groot was

46:15

gone, you know, it's tough man Yeah,

46:18

yeah, I Just remember

46:20

writing it and being like it's definitely three to

46:22

five years because I can tell from how short-block

46:24

widows her it was When they went into the

46:26

battle and then how long it is It

46:29

takes about three to five years to grow your hair That

46:32

was back when you are a hair correspondent You

46:35

write in all the hair hair knowledge and

46:37

I think at a time they were starting

46:39

to talk about the black widow movie, too

46:41

Right. Mm-hmm because we were also talking about

46:43

well that doesn't happen be here. It has

46:45

to happen before because of the hair. Yep

46:47

good hair correspondent

46:49

times They

46:53

caught what I was doing they don't do it as much now, you

46:56

know They're like they were getting what we were putting

46:58

down. We're being a little bit too realistic here Maybe

47:02

yeah, I I

47:05

love I loved those days and I'm

47:08

Excited because I think it

47:10

can happen again. I really

47:13

do like there's been so much

47:15

like Marvel bashing this

47:17

year about like things

47:19

not shaping up and I've done my share

47:21

of I don't know if I've been bashing

47:23

but Except for Seeker invasion I've bashed

47:25

it a little bit But

47:28

I've deserved it. Yeah, I've been frustrated

47:31

with the lack of connectivity but

47:35

I also know that some of that is

47:37

based on like my own expectations and like

47:40

we The

47:42

phase one and two didn't have that

47:44

much connectivity either Like I'm

47:47

hoping that these stories can start to build

47:49

on each other and like we finally see

47:51

where this is going And it's something awesome

47:55

Because I think Timothy's right with this Kang theory like

47:57

I think that if they could Instead

48:00

of announcing, hey, our new

48:02

character who's recast

48:05

as Kang is this guy, instead they introduce

48:07

them as a hero and then we spend

48:09

two or three movies thinking

48:11

they're pivoting away from Kang because that's

48:13

what the news cycle's telling us. And

48:15

they're like, and then suddenly

48:17

we find out, nope, it's actually

48:19

Kang all along, Kang's back. And

48:22

it's just been this guy who's been right in front of our face

48:24

the whole time. I'd be honestly better

48:26

with that because I don't know if I'm at

48:28

this point, I'm kind of done with it all.

48:30

With the Kang stuff, like if we never go

48:32

back to that, I'm totally fine with

48:34

it. I feel like I made my peace

48:36

with it because it was just so much back and forth

48:38

and I do think that Loki at

48:41

least put a lid on

48:43

it for now as being handled. And

48:46

I'm just like, I don't know if at this point I

48:48

want to keep going with this. Like I'm ready for this.

48:51

Now we're bringing in new people, now we're bringing in new

48:53

heroes and villains. Kang is really

48:55

cool, but there's a lot more interesting in

48:57

the X-Men universe. Like what else can

48:59

we do? I wouldn't be heartbroken if we

49:02

don't go back. Yeah, I feel

49:04

the same. I mean,

49:06

I want him to go back eventually. I

49:08

think Kang is a character with a lot of potential.

49:12

But all of the threads

49:15

left untouched are

49:18

threads, two kinds of

49:20

threads. They're mostly

49:22

just threads from our universe,

49:25

like looking at the movies,

49:28

knowing that Kang Dynasty is coming, right?

49:31

Like they're not from the movies themselves,

49:33

except for Ant-Man Quantum Mania that ends

49:35

with the Kang Dynasty, of course. Like

49:39

that's the one big thing, but that could

49:41

come back in 10 years. That

49:43

could come back anytime. And

49:45

the only other type is in Scott's head

49:47

where Scott is worried about Kang.

49:50

So Scott is a little scarred, but I just

49:52

think Cassie

49:55

were to end up dating the guy who ended

49:57

up being Kang, but we are so convinced it's

49:59

not. of a guy who's king. There's

50:01

something very different about him or something very

50:03

like they, they change it enough

50:05

that we're, we're actually convinced. But I do feel

50:07

like, like it would be great

50:10

to see that fear of Scott come true.

50:12

Like the whole like, you

50:16

can't date him trying to like the whole

50:18

like sit on the porch with a shotgun

50:20

like thing about like, but this time it's

50:22

because it's like a future space dictator, you

50:25

know, like, yeah, can't date him. You

50:28

can't tell her not to or she's just gonna run away with

50:30

him. For him

50:32

for future dictatorship, like leave

50:34

her alone, Scott. Hold

50:37

on loosely. Yeah, I don't

50:40

know. It's very funny. That

50:42

I totally see him playing that role well.

50:44

But also like anyone they put in Cassie's

50:46

life as a love interest, I'm immediately gonna

50:48

think it's just staying. Yep. Yep,

50:51

yep forever until they do something

50:53

different. Okay,

50:55

well, that's our feedback for this

50:58

week. You guys think you want to tell the

51:00

people about Ashley? Not

51:03

much just we have the Oscar stuff on bingers,

51:05

which we were talking about. And then if you

51:07

jump over to Bill and Ashley's terror theater, we

51:09

just put up an episode of Bill giving us

51:11

a breakdown of all the stuff he got to

51:13

see at Sundance while he was at Sundance last

51:15

week. So that's pretty fun if you're interested in

51:17

you know, what's coming out, horror wise,

51:20

and then he got into some of the other

51:22

films that were shown there. He felt like 15

51:24

movies that was it was a lot. Wow.

51:26

That's awesome. That's really cool.

51:28

Yeah, I'm excited about our bingers as simple coverage

51:30

of the Oscars as we started

51:32

this podcast by getting so excited we talked for

51:34

about it for three minutes before we go to

51:37

podcast Iran. It happens.

51:39

It happens. No, but so

51:41

our normal milieu. Oh, oh,

51:57

I guess speaking of bingers we are

51:59

Haley Hobbs still, Jay Scottie and

52:01

I were going to take on Dune.

52:03

So within the next couple weeks, we're going

52:05

to drop the first movie. We're

52:07

going to see the second one. And then

52:09

after the second one, we're going to watch

52:11

the David Lynch one to see how that

52:13

compares because the David Lynch one is the

52:15

first two movies in one movie. So it's

52:18

very, we'll see. That's

52:20

super fun. Oh, that's all the more reason to

52:23

go subscribe on bingers a symbol. Yeah,

52:26

they're where your podcast bingers a symbol. And

52:29

we'll be back with more very soon here on

52:31

the Marvel Cinematic Universe podcast. We got a couple

52:33

of commissioned episodes that came in. After you

52:35

talked about those last week, we're going to get back

52:37

to our Infinity watch in the next week or two.

52:39

So we got a lot of things, cool things coming.

52:42

And we'll be back soon. Peace. Until

52:45

next time, true believers. Hey, you

52:47
