1:23

available on all major platforms . So

1:25

let's get to business

1:27

, man . Well , actually no

1:30

. Before we get to business , I just wanted

1:32

to say that I

1:34

am reading a daily devotional

1:38

every morning with my wife by

1:41

Eric Thomas . I don't know if you guys know him . He's

1:43

a motivational speaker . He

1:45

is a pastor . I

1:48

really enjoy listening to him . I've been

1:50

listening to ET for a

1:52

long time now . It's

1:55

man , yeah , for probably

1:57

like five a good five years maybe and

2:01

he is . He's just a phenomenal dude man

2:03

. He always has really good

2:06

insight just on life and

2:08

trying to be a better you

2:10

. So this devotional that I've been reading

2:12

is called UOU365 . I

2:15

actually had the audio book . I listened to

2:17

that . It was a great book . But then

2:20

they put out another edition

2:22

which was called the 365

2:24

. Uou is a daily devotional and

2:27

there's a lot of good stuff in there . Man , I really

2:30

encourage you to go check that

2:32

book out , go get it . You know , read it

2:34

every day . It's a lot of good

2:36

insight . But

2:38

lately the one I've been listening or

2:40

I've been reading to , reading and rereading

2:43

, is one is called You're

2:45

the CEO of your Life . So

2:48

basically it's just it

2:50

was like a five part daily

2:53

devotional . So it's

2:55

just basically telling you what

2:58

you need to do to take control over your life

3:00

, and every devotional

3:02

has a scripture to go with

3:04

it . But it definitely gave

3:06

me some good words to think about

3:08

as far as just being

3:10

a better person , a better husband

3:12

, a better father and even

3:14

a better podcaster . So

3:17

when it's basically this whole , you know you are

3:19

the CEO of your life it's just like listen , only

3:23

you can stop you you know what I'm

3:25

saying . Like you're in

3:27

charge , you make the decisions , sometimes

3:29

they're good , sometimes they suck , and

3:32

you got to live with it , but

3:35

you can't stop . You know what I'm saying

3:37

. And consistency is something that's big

3:39

, you know , and

3:42

with this podcast that I've been doing

3:44

since 2018 or the

3:47

very end of 2018 , I'm

3:49

right before January I've

3:53

been consistent and then I've been inconsistent

3:55

. I've been consistent and consistent and

3:58

I decided today that I'm

4:01

going to push this thing as far as I can

4:03

go with it and

4:06

I want to make sure that the

4:08

one in 100 podcast is remembered

4:11

as one of the dopest , realest

4:13

podcasts that's come out as

4:15

far as in the comic book

4:17

space . Now , I'm not an expert . I've

4:20

said this many times , my

4:23

friends , that I've been on the show with me , which

4:25

you know . Eventually we will be having them

4:27

back on , if they will , you know , grace

4:30

me with their conversation

4:33

and presence . We will be bringing

4:35

them back on , but right now , this is something I got

4:37

to do . Do it by me , with me , only

4:39

right now . But

4:41

we're not experts . You know , none

4:43

of the guys that have been on this show me , myself

4:46

included we're

4:48

fans and we enjoy

4:50

this space and we enjoy

4:53

the the hobby of collected

4:55

comics . We enjoy being

4:58

able to dissect some of these movies and

5:00

some of these TV shows

5:02

and love them and hate them , like it's just

5:04

. It's just fun to be in

5:06

this genre , in this space

5:08

. You're never going to get an expert

5:10

opinion on this show . You're going

5:12

to get straight up fandom , the

5:15

goods and the bad part . So I

5:17

just wanted to say that , like I'm going to

5:19

be here for a while , I'm

5:21

going to be here for a while as long as God allows

5:24

me to turn this microphone on and speak

5:26

and edit these episodes

5:28

and put them out to you guys . I'm going to be

5:31

here at the one in one hundred podcast

5:33

doing my thing to give you guys

5:35

some weekly entertainment . So

5:37

, with that said , let's jump into

5:40

the quick hits man . So

5:44

we've talked a few times about

5:46

Jonathan Majors and

5:48

his situation and the

5:51

ramifications it's having on

5:53

the MCU and

5:55

the position that it's put

5:57

them in because they had so

6:00

much built on

6:02

the shoulders of Kang the Conqueror

6:04

Right . I

6:07

even talked about the audio book that

6:09

I have called

6:12

I think it's called Marvel

6:14

, the reign of Marvel

6:17

Studios , the MCU

6:19

book by Joann Roberson , david

6:22

Gonzalez and Gavin

6:24

Edwards . That's a really good book . I

6:27

got about six hours left on that book

6:29

. I haven't had a chance to really get

6:31

all the way through it because work has been crazy

6:34

. But they spoke about in this

6:36

book how or at least it was

6:38

previewed on about how the

6:41

MCU was building everything around

6:44

one character and

6:46

how that's something that has never been done before

6:48

in the MCU and we all know , like

6:50

we've had movies about Iron man , thor , captain

6:53

America , black Panther

6:55

, hulk

6:57

who else ? Ant-man

6:59

, like all of these stories , all

7:02

these movies and stuff that we've

7:04

seen . They've all had their own

7:06

like sub-movie , like

7:08

sub-division

7:10

I guess , and then eventually they

7:12

all kind of come together at

7:14

one point to get Avengers , age

7:17

of Ultron or

7:20

Endgame or something

7:22

like that . Like they all come together but they all had

7:24

their own storylines that

7:26

they were telling . And

7:29

lately in the MCU obviously Phase

7:31

Four was just a clusterfuck

7:34

Like man . It was bad

7:36

, it was bad . Yeah

7:38

, I'm sorry , it was bad , it was bad . But

7:40

it's

7:43

also been the situation with the

7:45

MCU where they were

7:47

trying to build

7:49

everything around this Kang the Conqueror

7:52

character , almost similar to how

7:54

they were with Thanos . But it just

7:56

hasn't really been gelling together

7:58

and fans have been feeling

8:00

it . We haven't really been happy

8:03

with the whole

8:05

Phase Four and the whole Kang the Conqueror

8:08

situation that Marvel has

8:10

right now and a lot of fans

8:12

have been asking for this character

8:14

just to be done with . Some want

8:17

to continue to see the storyline , some want it to

8:19

be recast it . We've had rumors about

8:21

the recasting , but this

8:23

article came out the other day I'm

8:26

recording this actually late Wednesday night , but

8:29

it came out on cbrcom and

8:32

it says Marvel wanted to downplay Jonathan

8:34

Majors Kang after

8:36

Quantum Mania box office . So

8:39

it said previously . The Kang role

8:41

was portrayed by Jonathan Majors before

8:44

he returned in the second season

8:46

of Loki . Majors

8:48

debuted in the role in 2023

8:50

in the Ant-Man and the Wasquan of Mania

8:53

. One month after the film released

8:55

, majors was accused of

8:57

assault , as we all know , and

8:59

then he was later found later

9:02

fired from the MCU's role

9:05

upon being guilty at

9:07

trial . Okay , we all know that . It's

9:09

been reported that Marvel Studios will

9:12

be shifting away from the

9:14

plan focus on Kang

9:16

, but according to

9:18

a new report from the Hollywood

9:20

Reporter , there were already

9:22

talks about diminishing Kang's

9:24

role in the MCU

9:26

before Majors legal troubles

9:29

. All right , let's go on a little bit . Initially

9:32

, the next Avengers

9:34

film was set to be titled

9:38

Avengers , kang Dynasty , which

9:40

would have obviously featured Kang as

9:42

a major character . The Hollywood

9:45

Reporter reframed how

9:47

Marvel Studios will

9:50

be giving the film a new title

9:52

and there are script rewrites

9:55

taking place that will downplay

9:57

Kang's present presence , if

9:59

not outright removing him entirely

10:02

. However , it's also noted that

10:04

the report that Marvel was making

10:07

moves to minimize the character already

10:10

was because of underwhelming

10:12

box office performance of the

10:14

Quantum Mania movie

10:17

with Ant-Man and the Wasp . So it goes

10:19

on to talk about how

10:21

there could have possibly been a

10:23

recasting or maybe still is

10:25

a possibility of a recasting with Coleman

10:28

Domingo . That's been a rumor . We spoke

10:30

about that here , but I wanna get

10:32

into this article real quick . Two

10:36

things the box

10:38

office for Ant-Man and the Wasp , quantum Mania

10:40

yes , it was terrible . It was terrible

10:42

. But John the Majors

10:44

, as Kang the Conqueror

10:47

was , he

10:49

was great and bad for the movie

10:51

. He was great because he outshined

10:53

everybody in the movie . He

10:57

was bad because the writing was

10:59

terrible and it

11:01

did not put fear

11:03

in the fans' eyes when

11:06

they looked at Kang the Conqueror . I

11:08

wasn't scared of him . I didn't think

11:10

that he was going to be able to accomplish much

11:12

and by the end of the movie

11:15

spoiler alert he

11:18

got escorted out the club by

11:20

a bunch of ants . Yeah

11:23

, it wasn't a good look for Kang

11:25

the Conqueror . And

11:28

once again , like

11:30

I was saying earlier , the

11:32

plans with Kang the

11:35

Conqueror also included , like

11:37

this big Avengers movie

11:39

, with it being called Kang

11:41

Dynasty . And

11:44

you really cannot . It

11:47

was really , it was gonna really be hard for

11:49

Marvel to build on

11:52

this character of Kang the Conqueror . Once

11:54

he got dragged out and beat

11:56

down by a bunch of ants and Ant-Man

11:58

, he was already trapped in the quantum

12:01

realm . So what kind

12:03

of threat really is he to the Avengers

12:05

? You know what I'm saying . So

12:07

it just didn't seem like it was gonna

12:10

be the right fit . And

12:12

if you think about

12:14

it , you know Bob

12:16

Iger , you know returning

12:18

to his role as the

12:21

big dog at Disney

12:23

. When he reinstated Kevin

12:25

Foggy , I'm pretty sure everybody

12:28

in the Marvel Studios

12:30

kind of knew like yo

12:32

, it's about to be over for

12:35

a lot of our scripts , it's about to be

12:37

over for a lot of our movies . Because

12:39

when he came back in and

12:42

assumed his role as

12:45

the chief , the chief rocker

12:48

for the MCU , everything

12:51

pretty much got switched

12:53

up . I mean , we got basically we got a brand

12:55

new Daredevil series . You

12:58

know it was already done and he

13:00

decided to basically say now y'all ain't good

13:02

enough . You

13:04

know , deciding to possibly go a different

13:06

direction now with Kang

13:08

and

13:11

the fact

13:13

that the

13:15

character was already like they were already ready

13:17

to cancel out the character anyway

13:20

because of the sales and because

13:22

of just it just wasn't good writing and it just

13:24

wasn't working . The fact

13:26

that they're doing this makes

13:28

me feel like Marvel is

13:31

headed in the right direction . I mean

13:33

, with this situation , with

13:36

Captain America as a New World

13:38

Order or something like that , with

13:41

Falcon as Captain America or Sam Wilson

13:43

as Captain America , like they're doing reshoots

13:45

on that , like everything seems to be getting

13:47

rebooted , a lot of things seem

13:49

like they might not happen . Like I really

13:52

don't know what happened to the Reevee Williams

13:54

series . I mean , when Kevin Foggy announced

13:56

that , like 15 years ago , it seemed like he was

13:58

happy about it . But who knows , man

14:00

, that movie's been done for a long time and

14:02

we haven't heard a peep about it . So

14:05

this was interesting

14:08

to me that

14:10

they was

14:12

already thinking about going in a different direction

14:14

. But it also makes me wonder what

14:16

they would have done with with John

14:19

, john the majors . I mean , you're

14:22

already planning on where they just gonna do

14:24

like a smaller

14:26

version of Kang dynasty or something

14:28

and just Kill the character off

14:30

. Like how are they planning on proceeding

14:33

if he wasn't found guilty ? Like

14:35

that ? That's crazy . That's crazy to think about

14:37

, because Now it kind of feels like

14:39

they would have been held hostage by the character . You

14:42

know if they were thinking about getting

14:44

away from the character already

14:46

, even before he was found guilty , even

14:49

before the assault charges is based off

14:51

of the Before

14:53

the trial , because the assault happened right

14:55

after the movie release . But you

14:58

know , if they were already

15:00

thinking that this character was gonna be a bust , what

15:02

would they have done with John the majors ? Because he turned in

15:05

a great performance with what he had . He

15:07

did a phenomenal job . But it makes me wonder

15:10

what would they have done with

15:12

John the majors if they

15:15

? This was the plans to begin

15:17

with . So , moving forward , some

15:20

other news came out that I spoke about

15:23

On my

15:25

Instagram page . I was , you know , doing my research

15:27

for the show and everything . You can go

15:29

check it out at the black podcaster

15:31

with a six , not a B , on Instagram

15:33

and I saw this article

15:36

. It was a rumor from comic book movie calm

15:38

. I don't know how real this rumor

15:40

is , I don't , I don't really know , but

15:42

it was cool to speculate and think about this

15:44

. While I was getting prepared , it

15:47

said rumor man

15:49

of steel , henry Cavill has joined

15:51

the MCU , but not as

15:53

the fantastic fours , dr Doom

15:56

. Now , when I , when I saw that

15:58

headline I

16:00

mean obviously I didn't , I didn't read

16:03

any further , like , I'll be honest with you , this was a straight

16:05

clickbait for me . It worked

16:07

and it got me talking about it . So shout out to comic

16:09

book movie calm , calm , what was

16:11

it called ? Yeah , come book movie calm . So

16:14

when I saw this , it got me

16:16

thinking , wow , that's interesting

16:18

. Like you know , I know a lot of people have been

16:20

speculating since Henry

16:22

Cavill got dropped from

16:25

the DC us Superman

16:27

that , hey , he should just go over to Marvel

16:29

and get a job over there . Captain

16:32

Britain would be great . You know , captain Britain

16:34

would be the move . He should be

16:36

Captain Britain or or he should just go be the

16:38

century . I know they want the century in there

16:40

and honestly , man , when

16:43

I was hearing all these rumors and these

16:45

speculators saying that he should do

16:47

that , I mean honestly I was kind of like it

16:50

just wasn't impressed . I wasn't impressed by

16:52

any of that . Like I , I don't

16:54

know much about Captain Britain , I'll be honest

16:56

with you , but it just sounds like a

16:59

boring ass character . It's

17:01

like it just sounds boring and In

17:03

the century it's just too on

17:05

like on the nose . Is that what they say is too

17:07

on the nose ? Superman

17:10

, like it's basically Marvel's Superman

17:12

. So , you

17:15

know , going from super , from you know playing

17:17

Superman , to being century , that's

17:19

just weird . You know like , don't , don't

17:21

, don't , do that . But when

17:25

I saw the article said , but

17:27

he's not gonna play dr Doom , I

17:29

was , you know , on my Instagram I'll post

17:31

a kind of said , well , why not ? Like

17:34

, I feel like that would be the role

17:36

, that Actor

17:38

, like Henry Cavill , who was a supposed

17:41

to be a major part

17:43

in the DCEU when it just didn't

17:45

pan out , that

17:48

would be the perfect turn for him

17:50

. You know , like , everybody loved

17:52

him as Superman , the way he was . You

17:54

know the way he looked , the way he acted

17:57

, he , everybody just said , like that is our

17:59

Superman . I feel like the

18:01

best story for him to do would

18:03

be to be a bad guy , just

18:05

to be a straight-up doom . You

18:09

know like , just go

18:11

with it , man . Like terrorized

18:13

, a fantastic , for you

18:15

know , kick-ass and Secret

18:18

Wars , if they do that , if they do that version

18:20

of Secret Wars With

18:22

with doom sitting on the throne , like I feel

18:25

like that would just be so

18:27

dope for him to go in that direction and

18:30

it would allow him to be somewhat

18:34

of a major part of a storyline

18:36

and Marvel can kind of get back to

18:38

Telling these individual stories

18:41

. Yes , but you know he would be

18:43

a part of the fantastic for story

18:45

but all that would

18:47

build up to Secret Wars and

18:49

you can kind of see like his

18:51

plot Maybe coming together to get to

18:53

the Secret Wars . If he was

18:56

playing , you know , victor von Doom , so

18:58

I would , I would love to see him

19:00

in that role . But then I would also

19:03

like to see him be a part of another

19:05

story , which

19:08

would be the X-Men

19:10

. I would love

19:12

to see Henry Henry Cavill

19:15

as Magneto . I

19:17

feel like he is a powerful

19:20

enough actor to play Magneto . I

19:23

Think he commands

19:25

a presence that Magneto

19:27

Does like in the comics

19:29

and in the cartoons , where he

19:31

looks like a leader . You know what

19:34

I'm saying . So I would love to see

19:36

him in that role . And then we've seen him

19:38

in the Witcher with the white

19:40

hair . But

19:42

I would like it'd be cool if they gave him

19:45

like that kind of like Jerry

19:47

curl type of hairstyle that

19:49

Magneto had In

19:51

the in the 90s and stuff . It was kind of like

19:53

like curly in the back , almost

19:56

like a shag , I guess for white guys I don't

19:58

know , but we've already seen him in the white hair

20:00

and both of these characters in the

20:02

comics like they're not like puny

20:05

dudes oh , like they're not

20:07

old-ass dudes in

20:09

the comics , like yeah , they got gray hair

20:11

. Like you know , magneto has gray hair but he still

20:13

kind of looks young . You know I'm saying like

20:15

he didn't crack at all in

20:17

the comics . You know I'm saying like he was

20:20

a Presentable older guy

20:22

and I feel and he looks strong

20:24

like I think I think Henry Cavill has

20:26

it has the ability to pull off

20:28

that character and the same with with

20:30

doom and it'll be cool to see

20:32

him in a period piece In

20:34

either or like with Fantastic Four

20:37

or or X-Men . I feel like all

20:39

those are about to come together and we're

20:41

gonna wind up going in that direction

20:44

and we're probably gonna wind up going away from the

20:47

Avengers shit soon . I mean , we've done

20:49

everything we can with the Avengers . In my

20:51

opinion , it's time to take , take

20:53

the story somewhere else . But yeah

20:56

, man , and you know , even on Instagram

20:58

I was getting some cool comments

21:00

. Man , definitely go hit that post up and

21:03

and leave a comment or a thought on who

21:05

you would want to see Doom

21:08

I mean Henry Cavill play . But

21:10

I did have some people on here . Let

21:14

me see . Yeah

21:16

, somebody said Magneto on here

21:18

I think it's G GLP

21:21

comics 75 said Magneto

21:23

. Somebody said

21:26

they wouldn't be surprised if it was Sentry . Someone

21:29

said , well , hey , if Wolverine could

21:32

be , it could be Hugh Jack . I mean , if

21:34

Hugh Jackman could be Wolverine , you

21:36

know , he feels like , you know , he could , this guy

21:38

could play , you know , doom . Well

21:41

, somebody brought up Silver Surfer , which

21:45

I thought was interesting . I mean , he

21:47

has , he could probably would be a pretty dope Silver

21:49

Surfer . I might have him on front . But

21:52

yeah , yeah , yeah . So it was , it was , it was a cool

21:54

little little topic that I thought when

21:57

I saw that I'm just like nah , man , don't , please

22:00

, don't make him a good guy , man , make him a bad

22:02

guy , you know , and I want those guys

22:04

to be evil like I want them to be bad

22:07

, you know . So I feel like that

22:09

would be dope . But listen . Let's

22:11

take a quick break here and

22:13

we'll come back . I got a stack of books here

22:15

that I want to talk about , some

22:17

that I read , some that I didn't . Like

22:19

I said , it is late night , wednesday , so

22:21

it is new comic book day that

22:24

I'm recording on , so I picked up some stuff . I didn't get

22:26

a chance to read it and I was catching

22:28

up with books from last week . So , yeah , we'll talk

22:30

about that and in a little

22:32

bit more after this . And

23:01

we are back

23:03

23:05

podcasts . I'm your host , amir , aka the

23:08

black Podcast . Yeah

23:19

23:22

I said , I got a stack of books here that

23:25

I wanted to talk about , some that I read , some

23:28

that I did not . One of them is a mail

23:30

call , actually . So

23:32

, yeah , it was . It was . It's an exciting

23:35

new comic book date , so

23:37

let's get into it . It's time for

23:39

. So

23:45

, for those that are new to the podcast , once again , first

23:48

23:50

don't want to miss out on some of the dope Comic

23:53

book talk . You know this is a . This

23:55

is a very Fun part

23:58

of the show for me , because this is

24:00

where it all started for me , man , like , when

24:02

it comes to podcasting , it started all

24:04

based on on comics . I used

24:06

to review music as well , but it

24:08

was all comic book talk , like . I never even talked

24:10

about trending topics when I first started , it

24:13

was straight up , three comic books and

24:15

here's some music that I listened to while I was reading

24:18

the comics . You know . So it was

24:20

. It was very , it

24:22

was pretty simple . But listen , comics

24:24

are the shit man . You know , I can't

24:27

even lie . I enjoy reading comics

24:29

. I enjoy Going to the comic

24:31

book shop and and speaking to everybody

24:33

about what you know , what they're reading and things like

24:35

that . But let's get into it All right . So

24:38

the mail call is actually From

24:41

Rodney Barnes and the good

24:43

folks over there was

24:46

as zombie love studios . They did a . They

24:49

did like a competition or you

24:51

know , a contest that

24:54

my homie og rich from

24:56

black comic lords . He actually

24:58

tagged me in the post

25:00

and I tagged him in

25:03

the post and we both

25:05

won an autograph copy

25:07

of Kill Adolfi issue

25:09

31 . Yeah

25:12

, I was excited about this . I

25:14

actually forgot about it . That tells

25:16

you how crazy life

25:18

is right now . I actually forgot this was even coming

25:20

in the mail . So when my daughter

25:22

gave me the package . She was like , hey , you got this . You

25:24

know , this package is like certified Package

25:27

letter , like real nice thick

25:29

cardboard . I'm like what the heck is this like ? I

25:31

Hope this ain't no damn

25:33

bill . So you

25:36

know , I opened it up and there goes

25:38

kill Adolfi , assigned by Rodney Barnes . It's

25:41

the cover with spawn

25:44

kind of like looking real gruesome

25:46

and Zombie like and monster

25:49

like . So yeah , I got that . I already had this

25:51

cover already , but now I got assigned

25:53

so , yeah , I'm definitely gonna sound that

25:55

. Might that might actually be one of those books that I

25:57

send off to . Was

25:59

it CBCS or CGC ? I

26:01

might have to hit up Reggie collects to see how the hell

26:03

I do that . The next book that I got that

26:06

I actually read was Miles Morales , spider-man

26:08

issue 16 , gang wars

26:11

. Listen , I'm just gonna say

26:13

this I'm glad this gang warship is over . Okay

26:15

, I am so , so

26:18

done with this . If

26:21

it wasn't for Cody Ziggler being just a fire

26:24

writer , I Probably

26:27

would have been highly

26:29

upset with this , mainly

26:31

because I feel like they continue to

26:33

Block Cody Ziggler

26:36

from doing what he's been wanting to

26:38

do with Miles Morales by doing

26:40

all these tie-ins and these crossover

26:42

events . So we're finally getting

26:44

out of this . This was a

26:46

legacy number 298

26:49

, so the next issue apparently

26:52

supposed to be like some crazy Battle

26:55

, I'm guessing , between rabble and and

26:58

miles . And well , it says somebody

27:01

, a villain , that once Miles did

27:03

and she's the only one that's been ready to

27:05

kill this fool , so I'm

27:07

guessing it's gonna be a battle between the two of them

27:09

. That book actually comes out next week

27:11

, also with spider punk . So

27:14

Cody Ziggler's got two books coming out next week , which

27:16

is dope , so

27:18

yeah . So yeah , it said it's supposed to be leading

27:20

into a crazy event for

27:22

issue 300 , legacy

27:24

number 300 . So , but it was a good read because Cody

27:27

Ziggler is just a badass writer and

27:29

I love that guy . Blade

27:31

, issue number eight by Brian Edward

27:33

Hill . What can I say about

27:36

blade ? The boy is going to

27:38

hell . The boy is going to hell and

27:40

he needed some help getting there and I

27:43

cannot wait to see where this story

27:45

goes . I know the blood hunt story

27:47

is coming and this

27:50

wasn't . This didn't have that much action in it . I would

27:52

say I don't think it

27:54

did . I remember , but it didn't . It wasn't

27:56

any memorable action in this . But

27:59

I know he is going to hell . He's got

28:01

, he's got some really Interesting

28:03

things that are going to be going on . Hold on , hold

28:05

on . Let me open this thing real quick . I just I

28:07

just wanted to be sure . I don't

28:09

think there was much action in this and

28:12

oh

28:14

yeah , okay , yeah , yeah , yeah

28:16

it was . It was a lot of conversations . He did meet

28:18

up with a character

28:21

that he had killed already and

28:23

they're supposed to be teaming up to

28:26

go against . What's

28:29

the name of the woman's name ? I think it's a Donis

28:31

or something like that the

28:33

, the , the lady has basically taken

28:35

over the world right now with all the darkness . Anyway

28:38

, sorry , I don't have no notes in

28:40

front of me , but this was , is . This is an awesome story

28:42

. I love this book . I love it with

28:44

Brian . Edward Hill is doing with this , like

28:47

I said he's . They got the crossover story coming

28:49

up , with the blood hunt Situation

28:52

going on . I know there's going to be

28:54

Black Panther . It's

28:57

gonna be a part of it . Miles is gonna be a

28:59

part of it again . Unfortunately , it's

29:02

gonna be a lot of tie-ins that going with this

29:04

. So , yeah , I'm

29:07

looking forward to that Night

29:09

thrasher issue one . I

29:11

read this . This is probably

29:13

going to be a trade for me going forward

29:16

and I'll be honest with you . I was . I

29:18

did not read new warriors . I probably

29:20

should read new warriors , at least volume one

29:22

. For what I've been you know what I've been told

29:24

and what I've heard from the homies

29:26

over there at Black Comic Lords I

29:29

should probably give volume one a

29:31

read , because a

29:33

lot of this shit , I didn't know what the hell's Going

29:36

on because they were talking about bullshit that happened

29:38

in the past and I was just like , okay

29:40

, and then who ? And

29:43

then what ? So ? But listen

29:45

, it's actually a really well-written story

29:47

, I will say that , and the

29:50

last page revealed was a oh

29:52

shit moment , which I do like

29:54

. But I feel like I am not

29:56

in the space

29:58

that I need to be in To read

30:00

this book because I don't know what the hell

30:02

is going on . I'm a little lost

30:05

and I'm mad because I Mean

30:07

it's only a mini series , and I feel

30:09

bad because it's a black character . I

30:12

try to support all of my black character . You

30:15

know comic books , but Unfortunately

30:19

your boy is lost . Your boy is lost

30:21

. So these are the books that I picked up

30:23

today . I

30:25

picked up the six fingers

30:28

. These are all image books . Actually

30:30

picked up the six fingers , which is Is

30:34

a tie-in to the one hand

30:36

story that I talked about last week or the week

30:38

before . I think it was the week before . Yeah

30:40

, cuz I just did the fantastic for news

30:43

last week . So the week before I

30:45

talked about a story called the one hand , and that

30:48

story is being told from the point of view

30:50

of a detective who has

30:52

been on a

30:55

case for pretty much his

30:57

whole career of , you know

30:59

, trying to take down a serial killer and

31:02

his copycats right and he

31:04

gets him , puts him in jail , and then somebody else

31:06

takes up the mantle , so to say . And

31:08

then I have now you have this story , the

31:11

six fingers , which is

31:13

the point of view

31:15

of the character who

31:17

is actually Committing these

31:19

murders , who's now stepping into

31:21

this copycat role . Essentially , at

31:23

least we think that's what it is . So

31:26

, yeah , you get the point of view of that , and

31:28

this is written by Dan

31:31

waiters . The other story is

31:33

written by Ram V . So it's really

31:35

cool , super dark . It's in the future

31:37

. I love it . Midlife

31:40

how to how the hero at the age of

31:42

50 . This is issue

31:44

five . I love this story because I feel

31:47

like this is gonna be me at 50 years old . You

31:49

know , I'm gonna be trying to be a hero still

31:52

, and

31:54

it's probably gonna be by accident , just like

31:56

how this character became

31:58

a hero . If you haven't , if you're not reading this , this

32:01

is probably one of the most Relatable

32:05

books that anybody

32:08

could read , from a

32:10

male point of view and a female

32:12

point of view , like it's . It's really

32:14

cool . You should read it . And

32:18

it's only five issues in . I think it's gonna take a break

32:20

after issue , maybe six

32:22

, maybe , or this could

32:24

be the last . This could be the last story in the story arc

32:26

, but I know , I know it's . It's ongoing

32:29

for the for the time being , and in the last

32:31

book I read I have that I'm going to be reading tomorrow

32:33

morning during my breakfast at work . I don't

32:35

care what nobody says , do you

32:38

hear me ? Nobody

32:40

disturbed me , all right , nobody

32:42

disturbed . Yeah boy , we

32:46

got firepower . This is issue

32:48

30 . It's the last issue

32:51

in firepower . Now Let me tell you something about firepower

32:53

. I Stopped

32:56

reading firepower because

32:58

of money . I was like

33:00

you know what ? Firepower is good , but

33:02

it's not great . I

33:05

feel like you know I'm not

33:07

gonna be missing out on anything if

33:09

I don't read it . So

33:11

I stopped buying it and then

33:14

I slowly started to

33:16

regret it . I

33:18

didn't regret it Four months later

33:20

. So I decided you know what , I'm

33:24

gonna go hunt these books down . So I hunted the last four

33:26

issues down that I had missed out on and

33:28

it brought me up to date , got

33:32

the books , read them , loved them , put it back on . My

33:34

pull is I'm like , nah , I can't miss out on this story

33:36

. So it's actually phenomenal . I was lying to myself

33:38

, you know , something like

33:41

I was . I was straight up lying to myself . I

33:44

saw that oh yes , new issues are coming out

33:46

. You know , I was like let's go

33:48

, baby , let's go . Then

33:52

issue what

33:54

? 27 came out and

33:56

it was like , yo , we

33:58

got three more issues to go

34:01

and then it's over . I was like

34:03

, come on , bro , like

34:05

how you gonna end it on 30

34:07

, like that , what's your boy ? I just got back in the

34:09

game . So

34:11

, yeah , this is the last issue

34:13

of firepower . It's been incredible

34:16

. I want to say maybe

34:18

issue it might have been

34:20

to issue 27 . There

34:23

was a moment it might have been issue 27

34:25

or 28 , but there was a moment where one

34:27

of a

34:30

Character passed away . I don't want to spoil

34:32

it because you guys should read this . I think you can get it

34:34

in two trades or two hard hard

34:36

covers . But there was a moment when a character

34:39

died and one of the other younger

34:41

characters was , you

34:44

know , writing letters to this

34:46

character in the middle of this war that's

34:48

going on with these dragons and stuff is crazy . And

34:51

when they find out that this character dies

34:53

, oh my god

34:56

, like I really felt the tears

34:58

Coming out of this character's eyes

35:00

and I got like the knot in the back of the throat . I

35:03

was like , oh damn , I'm

35:05

just reading a comic man . Calm down

35:07

, baby . So it's

35:10

a very well-written story by Robert

35:13

Kirkman and Chris Sammy . They

35:15

both have been on like they haven't taken

35:18

the issue off , like Chris Sammy's done all the artwork

35:20

and Obviously , robert Kirkman has

35:22

written this story from issue one all the way through

35:25

. But I will say , if you do decide to pick

35:27

this up , there is a prelude story

35:29

that came out for this . It's

35:31

in a trade . You need to read

35:34

that , like you have to read

35:36

that . So that was really cool

35:38

. The last issue is like a double size issue 599

35:43

price . I got the cover with the family on

35:45

there , all with the fireball . It was really cool , man . So

35:49

, yeah , that's , that's it for reads of

35:51

the week , man . Hopefully you got something out of that I didn't do

35:53

much reviewing on those books , but Hopefully

35:56

you got something out of it and

36:00

you take yourself to a comic book shop and go start

36:02

a pool list . Man , I don't care what nobody says , comics

36:06

are back . I'm sorry , like

36:08

I used to have to be very picky with my books . Probably

36:12

the last year and a half or so I was very , very picky with what I was

36:14

reading , but

36:17

it seems like Every time I want

36:20

to bring my pool list down , something comes out

36:22

that I have

36:25

to go get Like

36:29

damn . So to me

36:31

American comics are on their way

36:33

back . I think we kind of starting to get rid of that Speculation

36:36

Shit

36:40

. I think we're starting to get that out the way . I

36:42

think we're finally starting to get a different breed of writers coming

36:45

into the game . Shout out to my guy

36:47

oh gee , rich once again . He suggested that I go read

36:49

the outsiders , and that's kind of

36:51

something that we do . I'll

36:53

suggest something to him . He goes and checks it

36:55

out . He yells at me because it was a good story

36:57

and now he has to put it on his

36:59

pool list . And

37:02

then I hear that he , you know , I see something that he suggests and

37:04

I yell at him because he knows I'm probably

37:07

gonna go get it and

37:11

he suggested me , suggested that I read the outsiders , the

37:13

new outsider story , think it's like four issues

37:15

in and I'm pretty sure I can

37:17

find it somewhere at one of the shops . So I'm

37:19

probably gonna wind up getting that shit on Friday . But

37:23

That'll

37:26

do it for this segment of . So

37:32

let's transition into the last Segment

37:34

here , the breakdown , and then I'm gonna go ahead , and

37:37

so let's transition into the

37:39

last segment

37:42

here , the breakdown . And

37:44

I'll be honest with you , I'm still doing research

37:46

on this topic because

37:49

it's it's very interesting

37:51

. It's kind of how I want to say

37:53

, is new , but it's new to me , man

37:55

, and I was reading the article

37:57

. Warner Brothers Discovery could start discussing

38:00

a Merge

38:02

or a sell very soon . They have

38:05

discussions on a merge or a Another

38:07

sell and we know they just Warner

38:10

Brothers Discovery just merged together

38:12

and apparently the doors will be opening

38:14

again , because that was only

38:16

like a two-year merger and

38:20

, if you've noticed , a lot of Warner

38:22

Brothers Discovery's content has been

38:25

going out to different . You

38:27

know , streaming services , like

38:31

a lot of the DC stuff I

38:33

just found out that warrior is on

38:36

Netflix , which I'll be starting this

38:38

weekend Just

38:40

a lot of like stuff is going

38:42

to to be like this

38:44

is weird . So Now

38:47

I'm seeing that they're possibly

38:49

gonna be for sale again and but

38:53

at the same time , they

38:55

just struck a deal with Tom

38:58

Cruise . Warner

39:00

Brothers , discovery just struck a deal with

39:02

Margot Robbie to Do some

39:04

films , but

39:07

these films they're saying Are

39:11

going to be on the big screen , like

39:13

these films are not going to be coming straight

39:15

to streaming . And

39:18

as I was reading this article , let

39:21

me tell you where I got the article from that way . This

39:24

is this article actually was on comic book

39:26

calm . So you

39:29

know , as I'm reading the article , they're talking

39:32

about how the reason why they

39:34

Did a deal with these

39:36

actors and these big time you know , these , these are stars the

39:40

reason why they're doing these deals with all these

39:42

different stars is because they want to make the pot look sweet , you

39:45

know , to get a new partner . But their focus

39:47

when they get this next partner , or

39:55

whoever they sell it to , is because

39:57

they want to get back in the big time moves . They want

39:59

to . They want to bring all this stuff to the film . So I'm thinking

40:01

they're going to merge with somebody else . The

40:06

speculation was like NBC or something like that and

40:11

they're trying to sweeten the pot so that they can

40:13

start making these amazing films again and

40:15

getting asses back in seats the

40:17

way it was supposed to be . And I

40:19

also heard today on

40:21

another podcast and it was crazy because

40:24

I was reading this article and

40:26

then he started talking about Disney and

40:31

Bob Iger and how Disney

40:34

Plus is no longer going to be like the main

40:36

focus for Disney , especially

40:39

when it comes to movies . They're

40:44

going to make sure

40:47

that all that Real straight to streaming shit

40:49

is going to

40:51

be out of here . So , basically , they're

40:53

refocusing and wanting to make sure that they get asses

40:56

in seats . So

41:01

I started thinking like man , these are , these

41:03

are two . I started

41:05

thinking like man , these

41:07

are , these are two Top

41:10

streaming services . Right , you

41:13

got Disney plus , you

41:16

got max , which is basically

41:18

Warner Brothers Discovery . There

41:21

are two major ones that are putting

41:23

their they're trying to put their focus

41:25

back in the theaters . No

41:27

, no more direct to streaming type of stuff

41:29

. No more . Let

41:31

me rephrase that no more Direct

41:34

to streaming quality type

41:36

of movies , because the movies

41:38

they want them to go straight to the theaters

41:41

and stay in the theaters for a Long time

41:43

, but the quality is not good

41:45

enough For these movies

41:47

to make money in the film , in

41:49

the movie theaters . So they just

41:51

got to get them out of theaters and just get

41:53

them to the people . So

41:56

you got those two companies . You

41:59

got Amazon , who

42:02

is Making

42:04

these really good , interesting movies

42:06

and TV shows , but a lot of their stuff is TV

42:08

shows like the Amazon movies they

42:10

they need to be on streaming . But a lot

42:12

of their shows Like

42:15

they're making top-notch shows

42:17

, like I'm watching the

42:19

Tom Clancy man

42:22

oh , what

42:25

is it called ? I know it's a Tom Clancy joint

42:27

oh , let

42:30

me see . Let me see . I hate when I forget stuff . Let

42:35

me open up my Amazon Prime real quick . Jack Ryan

42:37

I'm watching Jack Ryan right now . I

42:39

watched , I'm

42:42

gonna watch one of watching Reacher for sure . I

42:44

think that's a movie , though I don't know if that's Tom

42:46

Clancy . I watched the one with Michael

42:49

B Jordan and Tom Clancy , I think it's with outward

42:51

Morse . Like they do good movies

42:53

, but their shows like

42:55

the boys , invincible

42:57

, jin V

43:00

, like they make some really damn

43:02

good shows like don't sleep on Amazon

43:04

, so they're good . But

43:06

then Netflix Netflix seems

43:09

to be moving towards the reality TV

43:11

type of stuff and

43:13

they're just , they're just starting to pull from everybody

43:15

, like there's some DC shit on there . They

43:18

got some HBO or some Mac

43:20

stuff that's coming over to them . So this is

43:22

like Netflix is getting back in the game

43:24

when it comes to like , bring your stuff here

43:26

, we'll make sure people see it

43:28

, and then we'll do like

43:31

some other , like you know , documentaries

43:33

and little mini series

43:35

. Like we're doing like

43:37

little TV stuff and reality

43:39

TV stuff . Like I'm gonna lie me and my wife , we've

43:42

been watching love is blind . That's our show

43:44

. Like I love love is blind . So

43:46

when I sit here and I see all

43:48

of these things In all these

43:51

changes Coming

43:53

to the platforms that were pushing

43:55

the hardest max was pushing hard with

43:58

DC . A

44:00

Disney plus was pushing very hard

44:02

with Marvel and their shows , and

44:04

now everybody's trying to redirect and refocus on this

44:06

, on Cinema

44:08

, like actually putting it in the theaters . To

44:12

me I'll be honest with

44:14

you , it sounds like the streaming platforms is about to come to an end

44:16

, and not in a way where we're not going

44:19

to have them anymore , but in a way where the

44:26

movies that are gonna be hitting the theaters is gonna be

44:28

taking a long time before that even longer time before they hit streaming . It's

44:31

not gonna be that movie flops and they go right there . Like

44:34

I feel like that movies gonna flop

44:37

in the theaters and then they're gonna make you pay for it on streaming

44:39

. You know , I'm saying like they're gonna make you do

44:41

it with Amazon does Like

44:45

Amazon had the marvels on there , but I think you had to pay for it for

44:47

like two weeks before it went

44:50

back to Disney , before it

44:52

went to Disney plus . So I think that

44:54

they're gonna start doing that on

44:56

their platform . So that way it on miss

44:58

out on that dollar . If you want to see this movie so

45:00

bad , you're gonna pay us to see it . You already got the streaming

45:02

platform . You know

45:04

I'm saying this is a good thing . I'm gonna be like you

45:07

already got the streaming platform . You know I'm saying

45:09

that you might as well just pay the extra $20

45:11

to see the movie at home . You

45:14

know like it's just the same price that you would have seen

45:16

at the theater . So I think it's gonna

45:19

be some major , major train

45:21

changes to the streaming platforms

45:23

and it could be for the better

45:26

. Maybe

45:29

, you know , I don't know

45:31

maybe we'll just get better quality

45:34

movies , better quality

45:36

TV

45:39

shows when , now that we're gonna

45:41

be trimming the fat , they're gonna be trimming the

45:43

fat of the BS and they're

45:45

gonna start putting out Things that

45:47

people really want to go to the movies and

45:49

see and then maybe the stuff that they

45:51

put on their streaming will be things that are Directly

45:54

tied into the movie somehow , because

45:56

a lot of the shows yeah

45:59

, wanda vision , you got Captain

46:02

America and Winter Soldier , you

46:04

got Loki those all pretty

46:06

much tied into something else . Well

46:08

, I don't know about Loki now , but you

46:10

know Captain America , winter Soldier is now

46:12

gonna be leading into the

46:14

New World Order . Hopefully we'll see Wanda

46:17

vision led into Doctor

46:20

Strange . But the problem was nobody saw

46:22

Wanda vision . Now a lot of people saw Wanda vision

46:24

that were casual fans , so it didn't

46:27

cross over right . So maybe

46:29

if they put all their money into their

46:31

theater I mean into the theater and

46:33

to cinema and make people

46:35

go from there back to Disney

46:37

Plus , not the other way around it

46:39

might work . Same goes for Disney

46:42

. I mean for DC and Warner

46:44

Brothers . You know we got the Batman

46:46

right , but now we got the penguin . So

46:49

now they have the formula right . We

46:51

got the Batman , now we're gonna bring

46:53

our asses over here to streaming and we're

46:55

gonna make you watch the penguin . So I

46:57

don't know . It's just something for us to kind of

46:59

keep our eyes on Because

47:01

I feel like there's gonna be some changes . People are back

47:03

outside . Nobody's really Fearing

47:05

COVID like they once were . You

47:08

know I had COVID a couple , you know at

47:10

the beginning of the new year which sucked , but

47:13

thank God , and you know , I

47:15

was able to recover . My wife was able to get better

47:17

. So you know , we have medications

47:19

and different things that we can take , so

47:22

people aren't as scared of these

47:24

things . I'm not gonna say don't be cautious , but people

47:26

aren't as terrified of COVID

47:29

as they once were and the

47:31

world is like really open . It's

47:33

really open right now , especially over here . So

47:36

we're gonna see how this , how these things , affect

47:39

the way we see movies and TV shows , and

47:42

I'm here for it . I can't wait to see how these changes

47:44

go . But that'll do it . For

47:48

today's episode . I actually went 17

47:50

minutes longer than I wanted to . But

47:54

yeah , we were definitely Going

47:57

to try and keep the episode shorter

47:59

for you guys going forward , probably

48:02

like 30 minutes , you

48:04

know , and if I feel like cutting something

48:06

out , maybe you might have to find a way

48:08
