Eastern time, 6 p.m.

Welcome to the Queens of Nerdom episode 11,
the Echo Rap Party.
Echo Rap Party.
Echo, echo, echo.
Oh, sorry.
I am Tay.
I'm Jen.
I'm Mac.
What's up?
What up, guest star Mac?
Yes.
Thanks for joining us tonight.
We appreciate it.
Thanks for having me.
Of course.
Well,
we have all sorts of fun things to
talk about tonight.
We're going to do a quick
little dilly about Echo.
Had some thoughts we wanted
to share about that.
And then we have a new
segment that we want to
introduce you guys to
tonight called the Nerd Forecast.
Just wait and see.
Hope you like it.
All right, welcome back from our fabulous,
fabulous intro.
We're going to go ahead and
go into our shots.
What's everybody taking a shot of today?
That peach crown.
Oh,
because you're with the Queens and you
got to wear a crown.
I get it.
I see you.
That's exactly what it is.
How did you know?
Well, I'm doing the peach Ciroc.
So, Jen, what you got?
I have tropical rum.
I have tropical rum.
It's, you know, peach tropical.
It's in there.
So we're going to go ahead
and take a shot.
I would like to take a shot
to the continued growth of
DFPN with all of our
brethren and all of you out there.
Thank you for tuning in.
Does anybody else have
anything they want to take a shot to?
Uh, no, I agree.
Uh,
it's kind of like the same thing we
took a shot to for, uh,
the smokepit a couple of weeks back.
So just, uh,
continuing to grow and seeing
everybody get in their bag creatively, um,
and then exploring their creativity,
not knowing what they're
capable of until they
fucking try to do it is dope.
I love to see it.
So that's what this shot is for.
Hell yeah.
I like it.
Cheers.
Cheers.
Cheers.
Yum, yum, yum.
Much smoother than a Kraken
I shot one time.
I don't know how you did that.
I don't know.
I felt sterile inside after I did it.
There's no germs anymore.
I feel bleached inside.
I'm good.
Jen,
that's way too much information about
your life.
Oh my goodness.
It's just a shot.
Sorry.
Okay.
Sorry.
Do you also drink Fabuloso?
No?
Okay.
So anyway.
It smelled so good.
I like the lavender.
Okay.
I can't handle it.
The fun fact is I actually
put the lavender pinesal
in with my laundry.
Like I do like a shot of it
in with my laundry.
Okay.
Oh, you put, oh.
I'm like, what are you doing?
Oh, yeah, no, I take a shot.
No, I put it in the laundry.
Get away, germs.
I don't have COVID.
Do you have COVID?
okay so going to echo um
we'll start with jen and
then we'll go to willie and
then we'll go to me and
we'll just kind of like
bounce like that um we're
gonna start with what
caught your eye and what do
you want to bring up about
echo um as to your reviews
and then we're going to go
into our puff rating and
then uh what to expect
Ugh, what caught my eye?
Well, it's kind of dumb, actually.
Well, I felt dumb.
So, you know,
I'm sitting there and I'm watching Echo.
I'm like, man, that prosthetic leg, man,
that CGI is just great these days.
Like, I can't believe it.
I'm like, wow, she's... Oh,
she really does have a prosthesis.
So I felt dumb.
And then I was, like,
thinking to myself while I'm watching it.
I'm like, damn, you know, they're, like...
I'm not as fluent in ASL as I used to be,
but, you know, I'm watching them, like,
you know,
I'm picking up what they're saying.
I'm like, man, they're really,
they really did a good job
on the sign language on that.
Not realizing that the
character is actually like
the actress is actually deaf.
So that caught my eye.
Yeah, actually, to piggyback off of that,
that was the first thing
that I actually didn't talk about as well,
is that she actually is
deaf and has that prosthetic leg,
but she actually did her
own stunts nonetheless of
having that prosthetic leg.
She did all of that,
which I thought that was super dope.
But sorry, continue.
No, that really caught my eye.
And of course,
I was going to be watching
this regardless because
watching Vincent D'Onofrio
as Kingpin is just,
he is just amazing when he plays Kingpin.
I loved watching him in
Daredevil and just seeing him come back.
I was super, super geeked about that.
Just seeing him play it, I'm just like,
no way else could ever be
Kingpin in my eyes.
Like it's Vincent D'Onofrio.
Like he's amazing.
absolutely amazing like I
absolutely love that same
yeah I mean like I thought
that the um the original
character in the movie the
movie that nobody talks
about right uh he did
actually kind of good job
as kingpin um I can't
remember I thought so you don't agree
Absolutely not.
And that's nothing against Mike.
It's nothing against him,
but it's one of those where
the actors can only do so
much with what was given to them.
You know, it was a half-assed script,
a half-assed story.
Marvel didn't know what the
fuck they were doing at the
time with their IP,
so they gave it a shot.
It fell flat, so everybody moved on.
So it's a win-win?
Except for Jennifer Gardner
that did Elektra.
She did a whole movie off of Daredevil,
right?
That happened.
They tried to start their
cinematic universe, I guess.
And it didn't work too well.
No.
I didn't hate that Elektra,
but after we got the Daredevil Elektra,
I liked that more.
So much more.
So much more.
I like that.
Yeah.
I like that one so much more, but yeah.
Anyways, what else caught your eye, Tay?
Anything else?
So for me, I thought it was like since...
Yeah, cool.
So I think that the cool
part for me was like when
it was like the first episode,
maybe the second episode
when you actually got to see Ronan,
who was Hawkeye, right?
You got to see him like
messing up the auto shop
and then you're like, oh man,
it's happening.
um so back on like the
actual first like nerd
forecast that we did um I
talked about like echo and
the fact that I would hope
to see um like a few
characters in it right uh
and hawkeye was one of them
so like actually getting to
see hawkeye uh in echo uh
made me like kind of geek
out a little bit um
what caught my eye also is
that like Kingpin,
like you actually felt for
him in this one.
You kind of felt for him a
little bit in Daredevil in that series.
But with this series of Echo,
like you got to see him be
like the father role that
he never really got to do.
And it really made me just like,
feel like a tearjerker of
some type of like, Oh my goodness.
Like he actually, um,
wants to be like her dad
and is like looking out for
what's best for her.
And it's trying to learn,
learn ASL in a sense, right.
For her.
Um, upon some research,
I did see that there was
supposed to be an extra episode,
but due to like money constraints and,
um,
really just uh the writing
also with the writers um
strike that happened uh
they didn't get to have
that sixth episode um so it
was it was interesting um
to see like that happen um
and see like how they
worked forward mack what
you got oh what got your eye dude
Oh,
did you wanted to add something to what
Tay just stated?
Nope, you're good.
All right.
So first of all,
I'm a big fan whenever they
kind of bring in new
characters to the forefront
that are kind of lesser
known in the Marvel world, right?
I didn't know about Echo until Hawkeye,
right?
But I'm not big into the
comics and everything,
but I'm the dude that when a...
when they introduce lesser
known properties or characters, you know,
I get online and I try to
look them up to see what's going on.
So when they introduced her as Echo,
you know, I do research and then I see,
what her powers are in, in there, you know,
the comic universe.
And I'm just like, Ooh,
she's about to be a problem, right?
Like muscle memory,
just to observe and then be
able to repeat whatever
action that she just observes,
like not just fighting, but anything.
Somebody's,
she can go to a opera or whatever,
see a great, you know,
musician or she can watch
that person do whatever and
then instantly do that.
So I was like,
she's going to be a problem.
And when they started
talking about her and the
street level stuff with
Daredevil and like, you know,
she's watching Daredevil fight and then,
you know,
that's going to be incredible to see.
So you kind of get a little bit of that,
but they don't go full, you know,
she's almost like Taskmaster,
how Taskmaster can also do that.
They were just kind of
Taskmaster was programmed
to do that or whatever.
But either way,
So I know they couldn't do
all that in Hawkeye because
it's about Hawkeye and Kate
Bishop and all that stuff.
Seeing my man Vincent come
back to do Kingpin,
which I will 100% agree
with Jen when it comes to
My favorite roles that he has played.
The temperament he uses and
how he can easily go from
being calm and collected
and then just go to fucking berserk.
Let's know how...
unstable pin is you know how
unstable that character is
I think he does it very
well um like and to go back
to what tay said the
moments where he's super
vulnerable and he's just
like you know maya just
come back like I'm doing
all this for you like just
yeah back to me you know
the the part where the dude
wouldn't give her the ice
cream or the hot dog or
whatever my man was like
hold on one second
Use your words.
And he was like, bitch, I wish you would.
Let me talk to you for a second.
Fucked his ass up.
Right.
And then like,
he knew that that was one
side of him that he did not
want by the sea.
Right.
So he's just like, Hey,
can you bring me a jacket?
I don't want it.
And he looks and she's just like,
all right, cool.
You know, let me get my licking, you know?
So I,
it's that moment like that where I'm
just like, fuck.
Yeah.
But then,
based on what you know about Kingpin,
like,
later on in the series when he's
trying to, like, hey, just come back,
you know.
Everything's cool.
I know you shot me in my head.
You know, it's cool, whatever.
Just come back.
All's forgiven.
There's a part of me that's like,
you don't think he wants to
get back for you shooting
him in the head?
Like,
I don't know if I could trust this dude,
right?
Like, he's saying all the right things.
Like, he just wants you to come back,
all of that stuff.
And you guys did post in
your group a poll to see, hey, um...
Was he genuinely caring and
wanting her to come back to
be his daughter or was he
just looking to just groom
her to be an heir?
And I think another option
that I was thinking is like,
I don't know what kind of
plan for get back or public display of,
hey, everybody who works for me,
this person tried to kill me.
Watch what I'm doing to her.
So you guys don't get any ideas, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, about that poll, actually.
So we actually had like 30%
of our votes going to that
Kingpin was actually looking out for Maya,
whereas like 69 actually
said that Kingpin was
caring about his empire.
You know,
we try to get those polls out for
our fellow nerds.
But so Vincent, 100% up there.
I do like kind of pros and cons.
Like I like when they allow
something to breathe by
giving it a series.
However, I don't think giving it just,
was it five or six episodes?
Five?
I don't think that was
enough to kind of tell the
story that they were trying to tell.
Because to me,
it felt hella rushed the last season.
episode and a half if that
you know they're just
trying to close everything
up and like at the end of
the day I get it you know
you're she's not completely
gone she'll arrive in other
episodes this is just kind
of an introduction but um I
i just thought it was just
rushed and the ending was kind of done
like a gimmick.
Cause again, I said,
I know a lot of the stuff
that the MCU does isn't
literally taken straight from the comics,
but I was super hyped to see, see the,
the actual,
her talent from the comics be displayed.
I know they started getting into a,
a spiritual kind of like,
you're just almost, you know,
it reminds me of like Avatar.
Okay.
You know how like... She
went into the Avatar state.
Because you saw her last, yeah,
the last people that had
her gift the same way that Aang did that.
Yeah, that's actually completely true.
So when I saw that, I was just like, yo,
what the hell?
Like, I mean,
if this is the direction you're going,
that's cool.
But, you know,
and then for her to just be like,
you know,
I grant you gifts as well to
fight back everybody.
I'm just like...
Okay, you know,
I guess this is how you
wrap this stuff up.
And then just straight Avatar again.
Kingpin's mad.
You know,
let me do the little thing to
take your anger away from you,
just like he took firebending from.
You know, I'm just like.
Aang still wins, though.
I agree with this.
Yes, absolutely.
Aang still wins.
Avatar State, Aang wins.
100%.
100%, yeah. 100%.
Regardless of whatever the smoke pit,
you know,
your guys' group decided to vote that,
you know, Avatar wasn't there.
Keenan and Kel showed up.
Aang is out of here.
You know what I'm saying?
Aang has no chance.
But that was probably my only gripe is...
is the ending the the
research they put in the
work they did uh you know
with the the native
american tribes that they
were talking to the history
from uh actually employing
and uh using uh native
american actors and
actresses and not you know
casting somebody to portray
one um I love that marvel
tries to stay stay true to
that and like you said jen um
finding an actress that can
do or portray what they
want to play without using
CGI or having somebody play
somebody disabled and things.
That's freaking cool.
I appreciate that.
The first time Marvel actually did that.
Did you guys know that?
This is the first time
Marvel has actually used a
disabled person for age.
I agree with this person.
The inclusion was great.
I love that.
If there's a person that exists out there,
use them.
I think that's awesome.
Good job, babe.
I agree with you.
Because they out there doing acting, too.
You know what I'm saying?
I mean,
it's the only time Hollywood would
go out and get a person of
a certain demographic.
It was like if they had
elves or a little person,
they're just like, well,
let's go cast some little people,
you know, and then look at our inclusion.
Like, that's touchy.
Hollywood.
Hollywood.
Hollywood was just so bad doing that.
But now Marvel comes around.
They're like, you know,
let's do our research.
Let's just, um,
and I would say even Fox with the latest,
uh, prey movie they did, uh,
going back to one,
they did a lot of research
and cooperation and working with,
instead of just taking the
ball and running with it
and asking for forgiveness afterwards,
you know?
So you're saying who didn't
like M Night Shyamalan this movie?
100%.
Okay, cool.
Or the series, rather.
God, you said it.
I did.
Yep.
But, yeah, overall, like,
was it a good watch?
Yes.
The ending kind of,
it's not season eight Game of Thrones bad,
but, you know.
To go into that.
Like, it was tracking up, right?
Don't bring up Game of Thrones.
Don't do it.
It had my attention.
The ending kind of, you know, like,
it's click, click, click, click, click,
click.
It wasn't bad, but I expected it.
So, Willie, for that,
what is your puff rating?
Since you're on the smoke
pit and we want to bring that, you know,
inclusivity here,
what is the puff rating?
Well, the puff rating, yeah,
we brought that on smoke.
But here...
I think that it would be
just totally rude of me to
come in here and bring puffs.
I think we should talk crowns.
Ooh.
I like that.
So out of, are we doing,
are we a scale of one to 10
or one to five here?
One to five.
One to five.
Because then you got to
bring math in and you got
to do the halves and stuff.
I would say...
I would say two and a half crowns.
With the anticipation that
any future appearance of her, I think,
will kind of flesh out.
Because there's a lot of people like,
you know,
what the fuck happened at the end of,
you know, Echo?
Yeah.
And they'll flesh that out
and kind of smooth that over or whatnot.
But two and a half, I'll give it that.
Yeah, no, I completely actually agree.
I gave it actually a three
just for the casting alone,
as well as the potential
that it has going forward,
which we'll talk about in like a second,
but I gave it a three.
Jen, what'd you get?
I have to go with Willie.
I have to go with like two
and a half crowns.
I mean,
it wasn't... There were some
aspects that I appreciated,
but then again...
there was, um,
some interviews that were
brought to my attention
that there's a lot of, um,
directors and producers
that are making these Marvel shows.
And they're explicitly told,
don't read the comics.
Don't read the comics.
Don't read the comics.
Just do the show.
Just write the show how you think would.
And, um,
I had a lot of issues with
that because that's where you see,
and I won't go my tangent
until we're done doing our crowns,
but I agree with the two and a half.
Okay.
Because the story could have been better.
So, Kaylee, I see your comment about, like,
you actually enjoyed the series.
I would love to know how
many crowns you actually
gave this series when you get a second.
Ooh, Jedi's here.
Yay!
Kempachi's here.
Ooh, look, get that party off.
Look at this.
Yeah, it is happening.
That is here.
Rob's here.
Eric's here.
All right.
There was actually a couple
of things I wanted to touch on.
I didn't know what a Marvel spotlight was,
so I did a little digging.
It kind of read to me as
like a novella in a way.
So it was a way for Stan Lee
to introduce characters
that are kind of outside of the MCU.
But when he did it back in the 70s,
he did it to introduce new
characters without having
all this money and
marketing and stuff wasted.
And one's like a ghost writer,
I think Spider Woman.
and a werewolf by night were
some of the ones that kind
of uh took off with it
which looking at it now
it's like wow okay so you
got like at least three
good ones from that that
you know that I found um
but when will you said it
about the muscle mimic so I
was very vested with this
muscle mimic idea because
do you guys remember heroes
my my dear sweet heroes
So for the writer's strike back in the day,
you had Monica Dawson was a muscle mimic.
And I think you were first
introduced to her because
she was just like blown away.
Like she was able to like
cut a tomato into her like a rose.
Yeah.
Watching wrestling.
And then there's like this robber.
She did like this wrestling move.
She's like, oh, my God,
I didn't know I could do that.
And I was really upset when
that didn't continue.
And then you had the writer's strike.
I was upset that they didn't
really play more into the
muscle mimic because added
to Jedi like that.
Man heroes was just one of
those ones where like the
writer's strike killed it.
And I was so upset about
that because even when they
tried to reboot it,
it just didn't have the
same feel for me anyway.
Um,
But yeah,
so that's kind of like what I
envisioned in seeing a muscle mimic.
So when they take Maya and
then they make her have
like this weird power that
comes like from her ancestors,
I was disappointed.
I'm like, that's not the story.
And that's something that
you don't need to change.
Like, don't change that.
Like, make her a muscle mimic.
I would find her way more
intimidating if she's like
when she's fighting
Daredevil in that first
episode and she just like
looks at him and all of a
sudden starts copying him.
That would put like the fear
freaking death into me.
I'm like, Oh shit.
Like she would have been helped though.
Like just think you think
you're asking like a really
unique fucking fighting style.
She just watched you like I can do that.
Watch.
Right.
Terrifying.
That's,
That was the thing I think
they kind of missed some work.
Like,
I wish they would have kept that portion.
Like, the whole ancestor thing,
I get what they were trying to do.
Didn't really hit for me.
Like, I'm not knocking, like, overall,
like, I enjoyed the show,
but I was just kind of
disappointed in that aspect.
Like, they really should have kept it.
Um...
One of the other things I
really liked was because she's deaf,
I like their use of sound.
Yes.
I think the scene that
really stood out to me was
the one where they're
fighting in the roller
skating rink and all the
sound goes out and all you
hear is like a heartbeat.
Now, some people say like, oh,
she hears a heartbeat around me.
Well, no, she can't because she's deaf.
Maybe she feels it because a
lot of like deaf people
don't wear like really
thick soled shoes because
they can still feel the
vibrations of like music and stuff.
But I think she, to me,
she focuses on her heartbeat more.
Maybe when she's fighting to
help her focus.
That could be my brain going
way out into the left field.
But I feel like that's what
you're hearing is her
heartbeat when she's fighting.
I thought that use of sound
was really a great idea and very unique.
And then the other thing I
think they could have did
better was find a way to
let you know what her thoughts are.
Like
I think that's one thing
when even when you have
like books that get turned
into like movies.
You miss that part of the
character and they can't
always convey it through
like their expressions.
But when you have like their
inside thoughts, you miss that part.
And that's that connection
to the character that you miss.
So I think there's something
that they could have done a
little bit more to kind of
help you connect with the character.
Because I felt a little bit
more connected with Kingpin.
Because we know him so much better.
And you can hear his thoughts.
And he conveys that feeling so well.
Now,
do you think that's more... And I was
going to get into this.
When it comes to the street-level heroes,
I think we're kind of
spoiled because Netflix
gave us multiple seasons of...
At least 12 episodes, if I'm not mistaken,
each one about 45 minutes
to an hour long.
Yeah.
Three seasons of Daredevil.
So that's three seasons of
getting to know Kingpin.
Right.
Three seasons of Jessica Jones,
two of Luke Cage, two of,
you know what I'm saying?
So we got time.
Yeah.
To get to really know the
backstory and everything
kind of revolving around
these lesser known
characters that aren't
Avenger type stuff.
Right.
So then here comes, you know, Echo.
We get introduced in Hawkeye.
People are.
Hold on.
My wife's coming in through
the garage after I was like outside.
You're fine.
You hear everything, and it's like, oh,
what the hell's happening out here,
right?
I hear nothing.
I just thought you were
getting attacked by a Terminator.
Is that a Terminator, Willie?
You should run.
Are you John Connor, like, for real?
John Connor, run!
Get to the chopper!
Get to the chopper!
I'm sorry.
But going back to that, like,
only five episodes to
really try to flesh out a
character that was introduced to us.
as a side point.
Who ended Hawkeye by shooting Kingpin?
I was like, Jesus Christ.
So violent.
Fucking continue this story, please.
I want to know what happened.
So I feel like
I would hope.
I haven't read anything or
looked anything up.
I'm hoping that Marvel is
planning on doing something
special with this character,
because why sit here and
give us a spotlight?
Like, here,
here's a solo thing on just Echo,
and then just not continue that story.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm really hoping they got
something planned,
introduce her in an upcoming movie,
because I know they...
Kevin, Kevin Feige, I mean,
he's on shaky ground the last few ones,
but the expectation is he
is throwing a quote unquote
filler episodes before we
get back to like some real
shit happening in the MCU,
which I'm fine with.
I'm content.
I'm content.
You know, I'm okay.
I'm just saying,
we didn't really get a lot of, like,
I would have really liked
to have seen eight, maybe nine episodes.
Oh, absolutely.
Absolutely.
She could have used more.
and especially with the
amount of um I mean there
are comics you know about
echo not that I've read
them I've just done some
research um but based on
like what I have uh read on
that research right um
there are so many uh
different avenues that they
could go with this so uh my
expectation is
is that they're going to use
her in the Daredevil Born
Again series that is coming
to Netflix probably around
February of 2025 due to the
writer's strike, right?
But there's also the...
Netflix or Disney+.
uh disney has all that stuff
it might it might actually
go back to disney yeah
you're actually right yeah
because echo came out on
disney so you're absolutely
correct thank you um for
that correction you right
um so it's probably going
to be on disney plus that
um this uh this series
comes out on now we're just
kind of like waiting to hear um
If it actually is coming out
or if it isn't.
Since Disney only came out
with their 2024 stuff,
we don't know yet if
Daredevil Born Again is
coming out in 2025.
So we're just holding off on that.
But also in the comics,
you can actually also see
that she actually was the first Ronin.
Fun fact.
Which I thought was pretty interesting.
And that she actually was
the one to pass it down onto Hawkeye,
which kind of sparked their
romantic relationship.
And then she also had the Jean Grey,
like the... What?
I'm sorry?
That's so bad.
I can't repeat it.
Damn it.
Jen, now you have all of my curiosity.
Yeah, you got to repeat it now, Jen.
It's like together they're a
hell and killer.
Oh, no.
I did.
I said it.
I'm sorry.
Oh, no.
Don't tell anybody I said that.
Shit.
Y'all, it's all our secret.
Kay, don't say nothing.
Don't say nothing.
Don't say nothing.
But what I actually was
trying to say was that, no,
you're completely fine.
I love your little comment,
and it was perfect.
I love you for that.
What I was trying to say, actually,
was that she actually also
was one of the ones that
had the Phoenix Force.
So the same thing that you
see Jean Grey have,
she actually also got it at
some point due to Namor and her fight.
But anyway, if you want to read more,
you know,
that's a whole rabbit hole for
some comic reading or just
researching in general.
But...
Now I'm going in the comments.
Also,
if you're watching this and you see
us pull up your comment and
it says Facebook user,
you got to log in the
stream yard and allow them
to use your name when it pops.
You can see who does this
because there's a lot of
Facebook users and we're
looking on our phones trying to,
who the fuck is that?
We love y'all.
We want y'all to get credit
for the hilarity that
you're providing us.
I give you one guess as to
who the Kung Fu Helen
Keller street level badass was.
One guess.
Is it my husband?
I've seen Rob.
It is her husband.
There you go.
Thanks for supporting me, babe.
Appreciate you.
And that right there,
that's AD saying that you're not fine.
You're wrong.
But we'll allow it.
We'll allow it.
Thank you for this grace.
Thank you.
All right, Jen,
what are your expectations?
I don't know.
You know, I don't know.
It kind of depends on how
they're going to attack it.
Like,
are they going to look at this and
look at their reviews and do another one?
Or...
Are they going to treat it
like a spotlight?
And they're like, oh, well,
that didn't get any traction.
Let's try another one.
Or are they using it to
introduce side characters
for a bigger story?
Like, I'm not really sure.
They haven't said anything
to my knowledge about it,
unless somebody else has heard something.
No,
they haven't even said that there's
going to be season two yet.
Like, they have completely kept it quiet.
Yeah, I don't know.
I mean, if they made a season two,
of course, I'll watch it.
give her a watch to, you know,
maybe they build more on
that muscle mimic thing.
Like,
I don't know.
We'll see.
Whatever Marvel puts out,
I'm going to watch.
I've watched Iron Fist on Netflix,
ladies and gentlemen.
I would go home from work
and I'm just like,
let me try to get a couple
episodes in just so I can
see it because you never
know you're watching phase
whatever of the MCU and you're just like,
ha!
Like that fucking DiCaprio man.
Hey!
Woo-hoo!
Woo-hoo!
I know that guy.
I know that guy.
You never know who Marvel's
going to take out and put in a show,
right?
And all of this other stuff.
So, you know, I just thumbed like...
Secret Invasion,
that was tough for a little bit,
but then it picked up.
So, you know,
I always give it the benefit
of the doubt.
And I will say, between the two entities,
DC and Marvel,
Marvel has let me down less than DC.
Their win record, and it's like, bro,
I'd rather...
You know, like, you know,
I'd rather just give Marvel
the chance to screw me over
because more times than not,
they're not going to do that than DC is.
This is true.
They got a plan.
I mean, Marvel usually has a plan.
Like, they have a plan.
It's not just like, you know,
a fart in the wind.
Like, here.
Avengers are a thing.
Make Justice League now.
We haven't introduced everybody.
Put them on a flash drive,
have Batman see it, double-click the icon,
and then make Justice League immediately.
Got it.
Do it now.
Do it now.
Oh, man.
Come on, bro.
So, I don't... Like,
what would season two of Echo be?
Because you're like,
if season two comes out, you're...
Like,
I think it would be developing her as
now a free Native American woman.
Like,
that's what I think it would be away
from Kingpin away from all of that.
Like, how would she grow?
And like, as now she is not a Ronan, like,
what would she become?
Maybe that's what I would think.
Like, that's just my opinion.
So Jedi thinks it's not one-off.
He thinks that... I feel
like it can't be a one-off
if you put that much... And
this is the business side.
You invest money and that
much time and research and
collaboration with the
Native Americans and learning.
You know what I'm saying?
It's a lot of stuff just for
five episodes just to be like, hey,
look what we did.
She could be a character.
I want to see what they do.
Cause like Ms.
Marvel, again,
like the way they had her
power show in the television series on,
on Disney plus is not what
Kamal was doing in, in, in the, in the,
uh, the comics and stuff.
Right.
But I mean, visually,
would you just want to just
keep seeing somebody's fist
get big and all,
you know what I'm saying?
Like you gotta,
you gotta try to make things, uh,
adaptable to television and stuff.
I understand what they were doing there.
A lot of the powers that a
lot of these characters have,
when you start really
getting into these comic heroes,
you're just like,
the amount of money we're
going to be spending to
She'll just be CGI'd a whole
fucking time if you're just
trying to make it big and
stretch out and everything.
It's like, why even have an actress?
With the muscle mimic, I'm just like, bro,
no CGI is needed.
She just sees somebody and
they just go hand-in-hand
like some training is
needed for fisticuffs when
she pulls out fucking...
At Johnson.
That's a word.
That's a word.
And Judith's wife,
you know what I'm saying?
And starts fisticuffing.
I see what you did there.
I see.
It's a callback.
It's an inside joke.
You guys can get it later.
It's fine.
Again, if they're just like, you know,
in 2025 Echo season two, like,
please believe I'm tuning in.
Like, I'm there.
Well, you know, the other thing, too,
is maybe they're trying to
do two different avenues,
like maybe build up their street heroes.
Because they were trying to do that with,
like you were saying,
with Jessica Jones and Daredevil,
like Luke Cage,
and then you had Iron Fist,
and then we had, like, Defenders.
Yeah.
Defenders.
I was like, oh, it's with Defenders.
I liked it a lot.
Like, I was like, oh, Iron Fist was, oh,
God.
It's like taking your cough medicine.
Like,
you know it's going to make you better,
and you need it for the story,
but you're like, oh, God.
elliptus flavor.
Like, bro, you could get great shit.
Does anyone remember Robitussin?
Yes.
See all the faces you guys made?
It's like a Listerine,
but it was like the gold color Listerine.
It had like no... It was
just like... Your mouth was
totally sterile.
The flavor was kill germs.
It was a golden... Oh, God.
Disgusting.
but anyways so you know you
had iron fist and then you
know you went on to the
defenders you had to watch
iron fist in order to
understand but I'm kind of
wondering if maybe that's
what they're doing like if
they're having like a
they're building up their
street level and at the
same time like in the
movies they're building up
like their their new
avengers and the next
generation right I'm
suspicious I have my
suspicions we'll see that's
what I think what do you think tay
No, I like that.
Like I said already,
I would love to see her
appear in the Dear Devil
Born Again series.
And then really,
because there is so much
comment or comic background,
like Jedi said, they didn't actually,
and you, Jen,
they didn't actually read
the comics because they told them not to.
And they fully disclosed
that in an interview.
Yeah.
but there are pieces that
they did use so it makes
you think like maybe they
did read pieces of comics
like the fact that
daredevil was shot in the
eye like that's part of a
comic right it was two eyes
rather than the one but I
mean it's still something
to like discuss um sorry
No, you're completely fine.
But with that being said,
if we have all of our
expectations out of the way,
I would love to get into a
nerd forecast with you guys.
Let's do it.
Let's do it.
Oh, look at that.
Like our podcast.
I love it.
Well,
the first thing that we are actually
going to go online with.
So we're going to kind of go
through the month of March,
but we're going to kind of
do it in order as well.
And we'll let you guys know
if it's a movie or if it's
in it or if it's a show and
then where you will see it.
So without further ado,
the first one that we're
going to talk about is Dune Part 2.
So this is a movie that is
based off of the Dune book.
There is a Dune part one, clearly, right?
And then...
It is coming out in our
correction on March 1st.
This is after three years.
So we got the first Dune
part one three years ago.
So 2021.
So now we're finally getting
Dune part two.
I'm super excited about it
because I loved Dune part one.
Now, don't come at me, but I'm not.
I've never watched the
original Dune and I haven't
read the book.
um both are coming at me oh
god unless you have time
because my my dad is the
he's the og I read the book
and I watched the old one
and this I'm just like bro
I'm trying to be
entertained at the movies
bro like the og movie is
boring like I'll let you
finish but then I'll I'll
speak my piece no I mean like I'm
I did love doing part one,
I do know that some people
thought that it was like slow,
but I do think that it like
the Marvel Cinematic Universe,
it is a build up and it is
building up to this part
two to something that is just like,
oh shit,
It's happening.
So, you know, you have Zendaya,
who is MJ in Spider-Man,
who is in this movie,
as well as Captain Salazar
from Pirates of the Caribbean.
That's how I know him.
But anyway...
Yeah.
But the two of them are
going to be in this movie.
I'm super excited for it.
I probably am going to go to
the movies to actually go see this,
even though it's, like, super expensive.
I'll probably go to a
matinee to go see it.
You know, day drink.
But anyway.
Is it available in IMAX type thing?
I'm sure it is.
Oh, yeah.
100%.
It's got to be.
Hey, Jedi,
thank you again for coming through.
Thank you for tuning in.
Bye.
um willie do you want to go
first um I will say I have
not read my dad is is one
of those uh I read the book
nerd yeah um he is low-key
like he he he dabbled in
the comics you know laid
into his uh his or into his
early 20s and kind of moved
on so he kind of remembers
a lot because we'll talk
comics he'll be like well
actually back like what do you
like you've had this
knowledge this whole time
and you've like never
wanted to like superhero
stuff but you know usually
him and my older brother
will go catch like the mcu
movies and stuff like that
but um he's a big component
on he likes the og stuff
obviously he was old enough
to to be there when doom
part one or doom came out
the book is like
I'm not a book reader.
When he showed me the book for Dune,
I'm just like,
there's no way in this world.
I mean, two years to read that.
How does Dune compare to like...
Lord of the Rings.
Are they the same amount of thickness?
I think Lord of the Rings is longer.
I'm probably giving away a
certain... You will gauge
what level of nerd or where
my expertise in the nerd
scale is at based on this question.
Is it not multiple books or
is Lord of the Rings one whole book?
It should be multiple books.
Yeah.
Okay,
so are you talking about like
Fellowship of the Ring?
I've never seen it.
I've seen the Dune book and I was like,
fuck.
Oh, so she's a thick boy.
And she's... Thick.
Thick.
Three Cs.
Three Cs.
But you gotta just take in
consideration...
this day and age,
like the way movies are made,
like nobody's going to just be like,
go watch the dune from the
eighties and then compare
it to what we've been seeing lately.
Cinematically.
Right.
You, you got to retell that story,
fresh new faces, better CGI,
because I mean, let's,
let's just face it.
Like movie,
you can do more to put a better
perspective on like the,
the fucking sandworms.
Like if you see them things
in the old movie, you're just like,
get this it's like we were
talking about in our chat
the the old godzilla movies
versus the new ones like
you see the man in the
godzilla suit and you're
just like back then like
yeah that's so cool now you
watch it like what the hell
like hey my kid likes it he
loves it I don't know why
Or Godzilla coming in,
riding in on its tail.
Yeah.
Well, actually,
he was doing a flying kick.
Right, right.
Absolutely.
I'm all for it.
I think the first Dune came
out during COVID,
so HBO Max was just
streaming here and all that.
So now COVID's not a thing anymore,
according to the world.
People have been going to theaters.
Let's get a real live
depiction on how much money
this movie made.
Because
They did the simultaneous
theaters in HBO Max, and everybody's like,
why the fuck would I go to
the theaters when I... And
then movie theater.
Studios were like, man,
we're missing out on money.
I'm like,
quit doing the fucking simultaneous shit.
You know what I'm saying?
So now they're just putting it in theaters,
and I think this is really
going to do well in theaters.
It's like...
almost three hour long movie
but you know end game was
three and a half hours and
people did fine so if the
movie's great nobody gives
a fuck how long it is no
just need that interlude so
I can pee yeah I just need
that like uh we got I mean
the cast is ridiculous you
know what I'm saying uh the
first dune was great I liked it um
Anything when it's dated,
I'll kind of tend to watch
it because I believe she is a very great,
very good at what she does.
She's talented.
Timothee Chalamet, he is great.
I liked him in the first one.
I didn't watch Wonka.
I don't know how he did in that one.
I haven't heard.
any bad or any good reviews?
I haven't heard anything.
So,
you got the dude that played Elvis in
the latest movie.
Your boy Jason Momoa is in it, obviously.
Batista's in it.
Josh Brolin, Anna Taylor.
Javier Bardem.
You can't pick a better cast
to put together for this thing.
So, I'm excited to see it.
And I believe it's more
action-packed than the
first one if you believe that.
So,
I will be tuning in and
watching that when it drops in theaters.
Jen.
Yes.
Um, so I, I really like the,
the 1980s one.
It's been a minute since I've seen it,
but I think his name is,
is it Kyle McClellan?
I think that played, uh,
Paul and the first one.
And then Sean Young plays, uh,
Zendaya's character, uh,
I am comparing the two.
I have to say that.
I'm really enjoying the.
Retelling.
I don't want to say retelling.
What would be the best way to it.
Just basically like redoing it.
Basically because of.
What you were saying.
When the CGI gets to that point.
Where you can redo it.
And it can be even more realistic.
I'm here for it.
Because you know.
The 80s had its thing.
And it was going on.
But you know.
Now that we've you know.
Oh, God.
40 years later?
It's even better.
84 is when it came out, yeah.
Oh, God.
I don't want to talk about it.
Okay, I'll talk about it.
I mean, just the scene,
like a little spoiler,
just when you see Paul and
his mom running across the desert
And then the sandworm, like, comes out.
And these things seem so
much bigger than they were
in the first one.
It could be just me.
And then it just kind of, like,
looks at Paul.
And it's, like, almost, like,
purring at him or something.
That was something that you
didn't see in the first one.
That was crazy.
I was like, oh, my gosh.
Like, you know,
they can definitely tell
something is different with him.
And it's just...
I enjoyed that part just because the,
the sandworms look so much
more realistic.
And, uh, Timothy is such a great actor.
And like you said,
like Zendaya is such a great actor.
I'm here for that too.
Um,
the desert definitely seems more
realistic.
Like I had some Iraq flashbacks.
I'm like, yo dude, that's,
that's the desert.
Like,
I wish I had that suit when I was
deployed, like recycle some of my sweat,
like use that instead of
like dying in the heat.
Yeah.
But yeah,
I really look forward to part two.
Part one was great.
Like I loved the first one
or the original one from the 1980s.
I haven't read the books.
It's definitely not my style of books,
but I'm definitely here for-
I'm not.
This is more like something
I'd watch on TV,
not necessarily read a book with.
I might dabble a little bit.
But yeah, I'm here for it.
I like it.
The power of sand.
The power of sand compels you?
The power of sand.
Kind of like the power of tournament.
Oh!
so going into the next movie
that we have to share with
you guys going in line um
is on march 8th we have
kung fu panda 4. um now I
don't know if you guys feel
like this is nerdy but I do
love the kung fu panda
series um I love it like um
have you seen the trailer
for it because it
came out oh girl you gotta
go see this trailer because
it is hilarious I was
watching it I went to go
see Argyle in the movies
and also very great movie
but during this movie they
had Kung Fu Panda 4 like
they had a trailer come out
for it and I was cracking
up laughing that's all I'm
gonna say about it
Amy's ready for this movie.
No, no, no.
Click the one after it.
Oh, shoot.
My bad.
Who is this?
That would be EJ.
Yeah.
I can speak to that.
We'll discuss this later.
It is definitely one of them
because there's always
something that Poe learns.
How to Train Your Dragon?
Was there three of those?
Oh, yes.
Better than How to Train Your Dragon?
And I reserve the right,
because I mentioned this on
the smoke pit.
When the third Spider-Verse
movie comes out,
it will be the best trilogy,
animated or superhero, hands down.
But just speaking animated-wise,
How to Train Your Dragon is
the best animated trilogy.
Oh, I feel a pull coming.
Oh, he's challenging you.
I see you and I hear you.
For me.
So, all right.
Definitely need a poll with that one.
So I can,
I can say like with the Kung Fu Panda,
Poe always learns something
at the end about himself
and he always grows.
I always appreciate that.
And I really enjoy it.
Like having my kids watch it because I,
I like the first one.
I'm like, oh,
there's no way they can top that ending.
There's no way.
And then the second one comes along.
Damn.
There's like he found his chi.
There's no way they can top that.
Oh,
now he's like freaking like becomes a
dragon and defeats.
I'm like,
there's no way they can top that.
So I'm like,
now they're doing a fourth one.
I'm like, damn it.
They're going to top it.
I know they are.
They're going to.
But watch the trailer.
But you'll be happy.
Now,
when it comes to how to train your
dragon.
That is a rabbit hole.
If I watch the first one,
I have to watch all three.
I can't just watch one.
I have to watch all of them.
I'm not gonna lie I have a
playlist on my phone that
is how to train your dragon
me my kids listen to it we
freaking jam out because I
love some of those songs
when he's flying I'm like
dude I gotta get down with
it my kids anyway I i love
it I'm not gonna blame my
kids I'll just say I love
it but I can't just watch
one with how to train your
dragon I have to watch all of them
and I freaking cry at the
end of every movie because
I'm just like I don't even
have kids and I'm watching
these movies ma'am ma'am
how to train your dragons I
love it yes I i do love
that movie ad actually uh
used to have a car and its
name was toothless it was a
mitsubishi 3000 yeah it was
a matte black mitsubishi
Our D.O.
here has an all-black
midnight edition Telluride,
and her license plate says
Toothless on it.
Shut up!
I'm like, yo, that's badass, man.
I ain't going to hold you.
I'm low-key jealous.
I'm looking at my license plate like,
why wasn't I cool and
picked a fucking cool name for my car?
I know.
I'm over here like...
My car's name is Lola.
Ruby, yeah.
Now, I can tell you,
I do have a blue Tesla right now,
and her name is Raven,
off of Mystique Raven,
because she's like a nice dark blue.
Now, that is like...
i would love to take credit
for it but that's actually
ad's car that I've been
gifted so it's not even
it's not even my name still
counts still counts yeah
but anyway um kung fu panda
is coming out on march 8th
like I had said it's
animated it's great for the
kids um it's got uh jack
black in it and aquafina um
Now Awkwafina is one of those characters,
or actresses rather,
that is just in everything.
She was in The Little Mermaid as Scuttle,
and she was in Shang-Chi.
But Jack Black, you know, being our Poe,
He is Tenacious D himself.
He is the rock legend of Tenacious D,
as well as Bowser and Super
Mario Brothers.
So I'm excited, needless to say,
about that.
I feel Jack Black can do no wrong.
He's mad at Calvin lately.
He knows what roles to take
and what roles not to take.
He knows what's him,
and he knows what's not him.
You know what I'm saying?
He enjoyed Nacho Libre?
Yeah.
I did enjoy Nacho Libre.
Because he walked into that
knowing that it was a silly
movie and he embraced the
full silliness of it.
Like Tenacious D. Here's the thing.
Him and his boy could be great.
But they just do it as a fucking... Bro,
this is us hanging out.
Let's just put some shit out.
And the fact that they embrace that,
I embrace it even more.
You know, like,
if they were out here
trying to be fucking
serious and win Grammys and shit, like...
They wouldn't be going anywhere.
You know,
just you hanging with your
people's doing dope shit, having fun.
Yeah.
Let's other people join in on that fun.
I'm here for it.
So and fucking Bowser,
the switch in Jumanji where
the actual person who is him is a female.
And he he is playing that role like.
I can't see anybody else
being able to do that shit.
Oh, no.
Absolutely not.
That does no wrong in my eyes.
You got Dustin Hoffman back in it,
Bryan Cranston, Viola Davis.
The cast is great.
I'm not a big Awkwafina fan.
When I hear her voice in a movie,
I'm just like, you know.
Nothing against her.
I'm just like,
There it is again.
I don't know.
I'm real big,
and I don't want to go too
far down a rabbit hole, but real quick,
what are your thoughts when you have...
like legit voice actors who
don't get to be on screen
to act in things like that,
but they are just paid to do like,
everybody here plays video games.
So there's very famous and
very prolific voice actors
whose job is to relay
emotion and stuff through their voice.
But then you have people who
are actually actors in end
movies like Dustin Hoffman and Brian,
like decorated,
very highly esteemed actors
in their profession doing
voice acting for these roles and,
in a sense,
taking jobs away from just
professional voice actors?
Are we cool with that or not?
I think, if I may say,
there is an inflection that
people have when they're voice actors.
There is timing when you read a script.
There is feeling that comes
across in your voice when you do it.
You can hear it with audio books.
There are a lot of actors
that have that as well who
have read audio books or even like...
do documentaries um I think
there was something that I
read that when the uh the
rock did um moana moana
yeah when he did moana like
he was really nervous
because he wanted to make
sure that he did a good job
like he didn't just want to
like get up there and just
read a script like he
wanted to sound like maui like
he wanted to like embody it.
He wanted to have good voice acting.
And I think that comes
across and why I think we
had said in like a previous episode, Tay,
like it means a lot when
you have voice actors come
back and voice the same
character over and over
because it sounds like them.
They have the right inflection.
They say the words correctly.
It makes a big difference to
me to answer your question.
No, I completely agree.
But I also don't see why
Now,
this might be me just being so
oblivious to the Hollywood
world as to why voice
actors can't be real actors, like,
on playing a different role, like,
in the flesh.
If they have that talent,
why can't they be, like,
who they already are,
like they're already doing the work.
They're just not showing
their face for it now.
There are some people that
can't cry on screen.
And every single time you see that,
you laugh.
Tom Cruise fan.
Tom Cruise fan.
Yep, there's that.
So, you know, yeah.
Okay.
I mean, there's some that can do it.
Like,
Jack Black obviously can knock it out
the park doing it.
Absolutely.
There are some that can,
but at the same time,
I'm just... You know, like...
I don't know.
I mean,
it's not affecting my pocket either way,
but there are some where
you can tell actors are
just phoning it in.
A lot of dream work movies
like fucking Shark's Tale.
That's probably the one
thing I don't like Jack Black in,
only because it's Shark
Tale and Will Smith.
Renee Zellweger was terrible.
Martin.
They had a star-studded cast
that didn't give a fuck.
Mike Myers can pull it off.
He did Shrek.
Eddie Murphy can pull it off.
I mean,
it's some that can do both and some
that just can't.
No.
You're laughing at this comment.
Who is this?
Jesse Eisenberg?
Yes.
He played Lex Luthor in...
He played Blue in fucking
Rio and they made like two
of those movies.
Yeah.
And he's the one that played
Lex Luthor in Batman vs. Superman?
Yeah.
Or was it the new Superman?
Superman Returns?
From what I've read.
Yeah.
Either way, it's trash.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
That social network was those.
Yeah, Batman versus Superman.
That's what it was.
Okay.
Yeah, even AD is like, okay, skip it.com.
We shall not talk about
Jesse Eisenberg anymore.
Message received.
Thank you.
Thank you, my friend.
Got it.
Got it.
He shall not be.
We will name him Voldemort.
Got it.
Okay.
So moving on, you know, from our off.
What?
Do it.
I'm ready.
Okay, cool.
I didn't know why you took the gasp.
I'm so excited to talk about this.
Okay,
so the next thing we're going to talk
about is Damsel.
Now,
this is a Netflix movie that is coming
out on March 8th,
the same day as Kung Fu Panda 4.
It's got Millie Bobby Brown, who is 11,
and Stranger Things,
and it's also got Robin Wright,
who is the princess bride in
The princess bride, right?
She, she was, uh, yeah.
Um, but anyway, uh, so this, um,
this had a trailer come out
and Jen actually tagged me
in it and I had never seen it before.
So I was like super
intrigued into about it.
um the storyline uh is very
much about like a princess
that has to marry somebody
um due to like her evil
step parents kind of thing
um so it literally is uh it
literally makes me feel
about like stranger things
it's got a very much
stranger things vibe to it
uh with the amount of um
monsters that you kind of
see um and she's in a
forest and everything too
uh given just the trailer
itself right um but
nonetheless it's coming out
on netflix so I'm actually
quite excited about it uh
jen what are your thoughts
and willie have you
actually seen this trailer
have you seen it trailer um obviously
If it's on Netflix,
I'll check it out because
it's like no harm, no foul, no real.
The only thing giving up is time.
And I'm not going to say
Netflix has been batting a
thousand with their original movies.
If you don't know what I'm talking about,
the latest one was Flight.
Granted,
when you say Kevin Hart is the lead in it,
you're like, whatever.
But they put money into
these things and these shows are not...
people are like oh if you
like money heist you'll
you'll love flight or
whatever height whatever it
was money heist yeah money
heist is brilliant that
movie with kevin hart is
trash but I digress um I'm
excited uh I like how the
trailer just starts it off
like it's some kind of
fairy tale thing and then
it gets dark you know like
You had my curiosity.
Now you have my attention.
Let's roll the dice on this one.
Millie Bobby Brown, obviously,
like you said, from Stranger Things.
I'm glad they're rolling up
on what I'm assuming is the
final season of Stranger
Things because these kids
are like right now.
Yeah.
Watching them be kids.
I'm just like, bro, this dude's like.
He's like 20.
Yeah.
Where are these braces?
Like, Dusty, bro, you're grown, bro.
You have all your teeth.
Don't speak with a little.
Like, bro, let's move on.
Like, let's play some other roles.
You got to shave now.
Let's play some other roles, my guy.
But I'm intrigued.
I can't wait to watch it.
And, again, it being on Netflix,
you know what I'm saying, not too much.
You just go watch Call of
Duty Panda during the day, come back,
watch Damsel at Night.
It's a win-win.
Because this is not for the kids,
I don't think.
It doesn't look like it's for kids.
They're watching their
YouTube and their Insta
books and Snap Faces.
Snap Faces?
Oh, God, you sound like Eric.
Okay.
You know, I tagged you, Tay,
because this is actually
some of the books that I
really like to read.
Like, you kind of...
see this damsel in distress,
but she low-key has this
fortitude and strength that
you didn't see in the beginning.
Basically,
whether or not she has any training,
she has that will to survive.
So
Kind of looks like she's getting married.
And they throw her.
And it looks like maybe a dragon.
I don't think they ever
really show it's coming after her.
And she's like, fuck this shit.
I'm going to fight my way out of this.
And that's what I like to
see with my lead character.
My spouse and I have many
conversations about this.
I'm kind of over this reluctant hero shit.
I want to see my...
character like you can be
remorseful of the life that
you're not going to have
but embrace that fight
embrace you being different
and being special and just
freaking go for it so I'm
with you Lily like it's on
Netflix no harm no foul
I'll give you like hour and
a half two hours of my day
and I'll watch it like I
like Millie Bobby Brown
she's everything that I've
seen her in I haven't seen the Nola
Holmes or whatever.
I haven't watched that.
But I'm here for it.
She's a good actress.
I think she's done a great job.
So I'm definitely here for it.
It's definitely up my lane of curiosity.
I'm here for it.
Yeah.
Definitely very interested
to see what they do with that.
And given the fact that it is on Netflix.
That we've all been saying.
It's a win-win.
It's there.
Why not just watch it?
Yeah.
People watch, guys.
So, uh, going into the next thing that, um,
I would like to kind of
like just brush up upon, um,
just because like,
it's something that interests me.
And I know that like Jen, um,
I don't know if you've
really gotten into it as much, but, uh,
this is invincible season two, part two.
Uh, so part one came out, um, at the, uh,
later end of, uh, the year prior,
I think it was in November.
Um,
that invincible came out and
it kind of uh just took me
by surprise um so this is
coming out on march 14th
it's obviously a show
that's on amazon prime um
and part one kind of
started with uh the the kid
of omni man right um
invincible right yeah thank you mark
Um, he,
he was just kind of like actually
like siding with Omni man
and doing like some really
fluffed up shit.
And you were like, yo,
what the fuck is happening?
Yeah, dude.
Like, uh,
It was wild to watch.
And I am super intrigued to
see where they take it and
where they go with it.
I'm going to watch part one
again prior to watching part two.
But I'm really just excited and pumped,
if you will,
about this show coming back out.
It is animated.
It's not for kids.
Don't do that.
But yeah, Willie, what you got?
Because I know you also have
watched Invincible.
I'm a big Invincible fan.
Again,
it's one of those properties that I
did not know was a comic
slash graphic novel,
however people want to put it,
until Amazon brought it to light.
So shout out to Amazon for doing that.
The Boys,
I did not also know that that was
a comic slash graphic novel series.
So they're bringing a lot of
things to my attention
where once I see it,
I get interested and then I
can go and support the
artists and the writers and
stuff for those comics by
buying the books.
But
I'm a big fan of it.
There's a lot of people.
I guess like the first season,
I'm not going to say critically.
A lot of people were kind of not for it.
But I know a few of in my
circle were just like,
I'm not a big fan of it based on X,
Y and Z. I loved every minute of it.
I like the premise of it, you know,
the ending of the first
season where you see
Omni-Man who's voiced by
the fucking amazing J.K.
Simmons,
who is another person where I'm just like,
he, this man, there's no wrong, right?
Yeah.
uh I was I was skeptical at
first because I knew seth
rogan was behind it and I'm
not the biggest fan of
everything seth does um but
invincible is is great
season one ended where I
was just like god damn like
omni-man is like you have
your your everybody knows
omni-man is fucked up like
within the first few
episodes of the season but
then like when he fucking
just starts beating the
shit out of his kid you're
just like god damn bro like
That's your son, man.
Oh, your mom is just a pet to me, son.
And I'm just like,
this man is off the fucking chain.
Eyes off, you know, and you're just like,
what the fuck?
So after season one,
that's when I started going online,
reading the books and stuff.
So now it's like,
I kind of know the whole arc of,
of what invincible is to be,
but it's no different than
like with my anime.
Like I'll read the manga of
it and I know what's going to happen,
but I still watch it as
just the animation, hearing the voices,
hearing the actors actually
portray that emotion in the
scenes and stuff and seeing
if Amazon is going to take
any kind of artistic
liberties and switch anything up to make,
get you on your toes or whatnot.
But yeah,
Absolutely,
I will be tuning in to part two.
I hate the fact that they're
doing this two parts to a season,
because season one,
it just came to season one, right?
Now you're talking.
Season two, part like Walking Dead did,
which mid-season finale,
stop fucking doing that.
Don't do that.
Just put it out.
I agree.
But I will be tuning in for that.
I love it.
I really liked the first season.
I didn't pick up on season two, part one,
just because I didn't
I'm a book nerd at heart.
And there was some book
releases in November, December,
and January.
And I'm mostly caught up now.
So I know that's something I
should talk about another time.
But anyways,
I had a couple of books that
came out that I had to do my time in.
So I will be checking out that one.
But I don't have a lot to say about that.
I really like the first season, though.
The first season was great.
I love it.
If you like the first season,
you're going to watch the second season.
You're going to be like,
what the actual fuck is happening?
Because that's literally the
first episode that I
watched because it came out week by week,
right?
Correct me if I'm wrong.
So I was watching it and I was just like,
When is the next one coming out?
Like, I have to wait.
Like, Jones and, like,
you got any more of that?
Yeah.
You got any more of that?
They do that.
And it's a smart business
practice because they don't
want anybody to just sign up for, like,
a free seven-day trial and
binge a whole fucking
season and then bounce.
So I do that the same.
Like, Amazon Prime, like,
I'm not going nowhere
because I want two-day shipping.
All right?
I'm not canceling.
All right,
so just put the fucking thing
out all together, bro.
Do it.
Do it.
I know you have the money for it.
I've been paying you all of this money.
You know,
I got my dice bowl for this RPG
that we've been doing.
I got it the next day.
I promise you,
you are getting my money already.
I could easily go to Target
or whatever store and get
whatever the same day.
But I'm willing to wait just
the extra day for the
convenience of you bringing
it to my house.
And I always tip the driver.
I tell Alexa, tip the driver,
and it does what it does.
You know what I'm saying?
So it's like, bro,
just give me the full season, man.
I'm not going nowhere.
I'm not going nowhere, Amazon.
I'm not going nowhere.
Trust me.
Just put it right here and just walk away.
Let me do what I want with it, please.
Thank you.
I agree.
I agree.
So going into the next one, uh,
we're going to talk about, uh, X-Men 97,
which is coming out on Disney plus.
Um, and this is also an animated show.
Uh, this is on March 20th, um,
that this is being released.
Um,
I was super loved that they have this
nineties, um,
animation vibes still going as, uh,
from what the original
looked like as to now, um,
full disclosure,
I haven't watched the original, um,
But I do know that some of
the vibe from it,
just because I did play a
lot of the video games
growing up for X-Men.
Marvel Alliance.
I watched Power.
I played... Oh, shoot.
I can't even remember what it's called.
I'll have to get back to you
on what it was.
But it was a PlayStation 2 game.
You could play Scarlet Witch
and she was part of the
X-Men as well as Jean Grey
and a bunch of other characters.
Are you talking about Marvel Alliance?
No,
I think it was United or something like
that.
I don't know.
I'd have to get back to you on it.
It might be Alliance, but I...
also haven't like played it
in literally years uh back
to when playstation had
those little memory cards
and you have to guard them
with your life yeah yeah
you had to dial it on too
it was like back in the day
aol um you can't you can't
do internet and make a
phone call at the same time
don't do it oh that's uh
that sucks so much yeah
Mom's like, I tried calling you.
I'm like, sorry, I was on the internet.
Sorry.
But anyway, I'm super excited about this.
George Buzza,
who's actually going to be
voicing one of the
characters in this series,
actually was in the original,
as what I call original,
X-Men in the 2000s.
The live action, right?
He was in that.
So I'm actually excited to watch this.
Apparently they pick up right after...
professor x um professor
xavier right uh died um so
I'm excited to see kind of
like where that takes you
and also the trailer looked
bomb so I i can't wait do
we have the same theme song
if it's the one that they
played in doctor strange
the multiverse uh thing the
thing my bob I can't
remember what the name of
the song or what the movie was i
I'm here for it.
X-Men, love it.
Yeah.
I too am here for it.
Just anything where you can
take your time telling the
story of something because the movies,
Fox just...
ruined them um and and it
and it's hard to to see
that because like I said
you grow up watching the og
cartoons that would come on
saturday mornings and then
fox will make movies and
each movie that came out
I'm just less and less like
you know I don't I don't
know how I feel about in my
dad like I said he read
comics and he's taking us
and he's sitting there like uh
Like, why do we keep coming to this?
Why do I keep bringing you guys to this?
And I'm just like, I don't fucking know.
Like, just one day.
One day, maybe they'll get it right.
And X-Men First Class,
I like that one where they
introduce James McAvoy as a professor.
Mm-hmm.
Days of Future Past when
they had to send Wolverine
back to try to stop fucking
Tyrion Lannister from
creating the signal.
Tyrion Lannister.
I know things.
I dug that one a little bit,
but then Apocalypse and Dark Phoenix,
I felt they were just... I
think they were just
phoning it in because they
knew the writing on the
wall was Fox was going to
end up giving this shit
over to Disney and why even at this point,
but
This one, I'm super hyped.
I like anything animated.
And you're talking to X-Men,
so you can actually draw.
They can use their actual powers.
Yeah.
It's a dope thing.
And the big kid in me,
the style of animation
they're going back to, I'm like,
fucking give me all of that shit.
I love it.
Give it to me.
Yeah, I mean, like I, when I went to, like,
Universal Studios back in Orlando,
Florida, where I kind of like grew up,
right, like, they had a whole
x-men like portion of their
uh islands of adventure and
in there they always had
storm and rogue and it was
from this 90s cartoon that
I had never seen um I grew
up and I only had those
movies really to watch uh
but like seeing rogue and
storm like storm was my
favorite and my sister um
her name is adrian uh she like
her favorite was rogue.
Uh,
so we always had like these like
classic photos with the two
of us with like storm and rogue.
And, uh, I'm,
I'm just excited to see where
this goes because I haven't
gotten to experience it as, um,
an individual.
Now, have you guys seen, uh,
the albeit kind of not
needed or unnecessary
vitriol because people are
just like man the
characters don't sound the
same and I'm just like bro
you're getting I have seen
that I mean people who
voiced them literally 30
years ago right makes a
difference it's trying to
come back now I get that it
like it does make a
difference but I mean it's
a whole like three decades later like
At some point in time, you just say,
you had your time.
It's now my turn to try something.
Same thing with the Joker.
You have different people
that have voiced the Joker.
Yeah, but to me,
Mark Hamill is always going
to be the Joker in the animated series.
If he doesn't sound like Mark Hamill,
he's going to sound weird to me.
He's not going to sound right.
That's just my preference, you know?
It's a slope.
Like,
I appreciate them going back and
finding the original voice
actors and giving them a chance.
Like, having Jennifer Hale come back,
the voice Jean Grey.
If you don't know,
she's a very prolific voice
actor in video games.
Like,
if you played Mass Effect and you
play as Commander Shepard as the female,
she's the one that does the
voice of female Shepard.
What?
Oh, okay.
She also does the voice of
Bayonetta in the newest
Bayonetta because the OG
actress was on some other stuff.
But that's neither here nor there.
But I'm all for it.
Could I have just had new
people do the voices?
I'm sure.
But they're trying to go for
the nostalgic thing.
And that's fine.
Not everybody can be like a
fucking Peter Cullen.
You know what I'm saying?
And just do Optimus Prime's
voice from the 80s and just
sound just like it.
You know,
if anybody did Optimus besides
Peter Cullen, it'd be a travesty.
It would be hard.
I'd be like,
did Peter pass or what's happening here?
Yeah.
Where's Peter?
I need Peter now.
He's my boy, but I'm here for it.
As long as the story's good, I'm here.
People swap out all the time.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm glad Daredevil is not
fucking Ben Affleck anymore.
You don't hear people
complaining about that shit.
It's not my Daredevil.
Thank God it's not.
Oh, no.
Yeah, no, no, no.
We'll see.
Let them cook, and we'll see what happens.
Yeah.
I'm here for it.
Jen,
do you have anything to talk about
X-Men before we move on to
the next topic?
No.
Okay, sweet.
I'll watch it.
I mean, it's like Disney+.
So again, it's that win-win scenario,
right?
So the next one...
The next one is near and
beloved to our very own Jen,
who's over here.
It's called Ghostbusters Frozen Empire.
So this is a movie that is
coming out on March 22nd.
It's after Ghostbusters Afterlife,
which I still haven't seen.
Yeah.
I know.
I've watched the original Ghostbusters,
and then I watched the
female Ghostbusters,
and I feel like they were just...
Sorry,
trying to get the money out of the
machine.
So I didn't take part in the
afterlife just because I was like,
how much more can you get
out of Ghostbusters?
But given the fact that Jen
really likes this movie and
is looking forward to this next movie,
um,
I'm probably going to give
it a shot and I'm going to
have to go back and
actually watch this now.
You smell that?
That was that female Ghostbusters.
That's what I smell.
So in this Ghostbusters Frozen Empire,
you have Paul Rudd,
who is our very own Ant-Man
in the Marvel Universe.
As well as the OG
Ghostbusters from 1984 returning.
Just to name a couple,
you have Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd.
Which I am super excited about.
Which is probably why I'm
also going to give it a watch.
It's just because I care about them.
Because I love the original Ghostbusters.
So I am going to tell you
right now that this movie
is going to get five crowns from me.
Right off the bat.
If you guys haven't seen
Ghostbusters Afterlife.
Okay.
It's me.
You're missing out.
So when they did the first
Ghostbusters in the 80s, I mean,
if you know me at all,
I quote Ghostbusters probably on, like,
a daily basis.
Like, I absolutely love those movies.
Like, adore them.
Like, I mean, you already know, like,
Sigourney Weaver is, like, my girl.
And I absolutely love, like, Bill Murray,
Dan Aykroyd.
I mean, Harold Ramis.
Like, love those.
Love those guys.
Love those movies.
That's just one of those
movies that I'll just play
in the background when I'm
doing whatever because I love it so much.
I was super,
if you haven't picked up on it,
disappointed in the female
version of the Ghostbusters.
Really?
I didn't get that at all.
Yeah, I know.
I'm very secretive about my
opinion on that.
I don't let a lot of people know.
The only good thing about
that movie was Chris
Hemsworth was hilarious.
I think that was the first
time I saw him actually be
funny before Takia Wadi did
the funny versions of Thor movies.
But when they finally made
Ghostbusters Afterlife and
if you guys didn't know this,
one of the bigger reasons
why they never made a
continuation of the story
had a lot to do with Bill Murray
Anyways bygones be bygones
and after Harold Ramis
passed away they end up
making a um A ghostbusters
the ghostbusters afterlife
movie was to like a
continuation kind of like I like how they
kind of started a new
generation but you still
have the ogs there so you
kind of have both together
and when I watched the
afterlife like it got me in
my feels like you you saw
like um egon there and you
know he's he's fighting um
gozer and it was just so
epic I i absolutely adored it
And now that they're going
to have Frozen Empire.
And you know.
I see all the OG's there.
And I see the new people.
Like having Paul Rudd there.
And oh that chick.
She plays Proxima Midnight.
The mom.
That's Proxima Midnight.
Do you guys know that?
I have no idea what you're talking about.
I'll be honest.
Got no idea.
So in Avengers Endgame.
That's Proxima Midnight.
from Corvus Glaive.
Thanos,
his little clique that got beat by
the squad.
Yeah.
So Corvus Glaive got tagged
with Captain America and
the ones like... Okay, that's Proxima.
Anyways,
the chick that voices Proxima at
midnight and does all the acting,
that's her.
I thought it was somebody else,
but that's her.
Anyways...
girl yeah thanks all right
black's got me yeah that's
her anyways I am super here
for this movie any
ghostbusters movie that
they pump out I will watch
it except for the one that
shall not be named um it
seems like huh you already
watched it so it's you watched them all
It's fine.
I'm ready.
This is like Pies of the Caribbean,
though.
We don't talk about number four.
But you watched it, right?
I had to.
Well, there you go.
Can we normalize
being loyal and being a fan
to a property and then like
watching it's out and if
it's not good just be like
yo this is not good
Yeah,
because there's I feel that more with
books made into TV shows and movies.
Like my heart was broken to
like millions of pieces
when they made Mortal
Instruments into a movie
and they got that hideous
dude to play Jace.
And I was just like, the movie's over.
Like,
Why?
Why did you do that?
Someone who hasn't read the
books and watched that movie, I was like,
bro, this movie was not... It's not good.
No.
It made me not want to read the books.
I'm just... Yeah, it's Vecna.
Yeah, exactly, Eric.
It's Vecna.
That guy's supposed to be
freaking hot as shit.
And I'm like, you got him up there?
And I was like... Eh.
Ladies and gentlemen,
that's why I don't read books.
I'm only low-key
disappointed in when movies
are bad instead of
destroyed like my girl here, Jen.
Yeah, I do.
I get destroyed.
It's true.
There are some books that
are made into movies that have been good.
Don't ask me to name any.
I just know that there are
some because my heart isn't
totally broken.
There have been instances
where there are good shows
that actually made it.
Anyways.
Willie, what you got on Ghostbusters?
Your turn, buddy.
Sorry.
I'll watch it.
Again, it's one of those...
I'm hesitant.
I'm not going in with super
high expectations.
The minute you start
bringing in the catch from the 80s,
I'm just like, is this for fan service?
Because Star Wars did the same thing,
just bringing everybody the
fuck back for fan service.
We all saw the flash.
Yeah.
There's a way that you can do fan service,
but still not be just cheesy with it,
you know?
Oh, 100%, yeah.
So I'm hoping that's not how
they're bringing these guys back.
I'm hoping, because Afterlife was good.
I was skeptical at first with Afterlife.
I'm just like, bro,
let's just remake every
fucking movie that was made in the 80s,
you know,
because Hollywood was just in
that frame of mind at that time.
Do you know they're remaking Roadhouse?
It's coming on Amazon prime.
So since it's, it is prime.
Yes.
Okay.
Yep.
Well, cause it was like,
if it was coming to theaters, I'm like,
I'll wait for it to come on streaming.
Uh, like what I do with,
with most movies that I
know are not going to be good.
Frozen emperor.
The trailer does bro.
The trailer has me fucking super excited.
Like, man, I want to check this shit out,
but yeah.
Again,
I'm going in with my expectations
slightly higher based on
how great Afterlife was for me.
I'm going in there,
but if they bring Bill
Murray and Ernie Hudson and Dan and them,
they come out and they do
some horrible fan service type shit,
I'm going to be super pissed.
I don't think I need as much
fan service as I did the first time.
If I get a little bit,
I'm okay.
I mean, they're going to get my money.
So congratulations.
Take my money.
Afterlife is good.
The trailer has me hooked.
Based on what I've seen from Afterlife,
I'm watching it.
Hell yeah.
So going into our last nerd
forecast for the night and
for the month of March,
we have Godzilla X Kong, the new empire.
Now this was supposed to
originally come out in April, uh,
last year,
but they actually did move it out,
move it up to March 29th.
Um, so this is also a movie.
Um, this is after Godzilla V Kong, um,
I'm excited for it.
I love monster movies.
So this is like right up my
alley and based off of seeing, um,
Godzilla just do his, like, uh, you know,
his like whole, like, uh, build up, uh,
if you will, uh,
and turning like purple
with like electricity
before he does his like beam of light.
Um,
this is basically as scientific as I
can get that.
Um, but yeah,
I'm super excited for it
because it's Godzilla.
Like, I fucking love it.
Like,
I go to watch Transformers for seeing
robots, like, fight each other.
So I'm going to go watch
Godzilla X-Con for the monster fight.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
I mean,
if you're going to not watch Big Monsters,
the fuck are you doing here?
You know what I'm saying?
Are you here for the plot?
Are you here for the... Like characters.
You know what the hell this shit is about.
Like,
if you watch that trailer and you go
there and you're just like, bro,
when Kong has a fucking...
power glove on his fucking fist.
You know what I'm saying?
He's putting his shit on.
I'm just like, bro, we're over the top.
Go to watch this shit.
The same reason people go to
watch Fast and Furious.
You know some awesome...
You know what to expect at this point.
So the only reason that, bro,
this audience going to see this movie,
like, nobody should be leaving here like,
man, that movie was bad.
Like,
you knew what the fuck this shit was.
I'm here to see Godzilla and
King Kong team up to fight
a greater threat,
just like they did in the
one that came out on HBO,
Godzilla v. Kong, I think it was.
It also starred Millie Bobby Brown,
which I was just like, eesh, you know.
The human acting was not
what I was there for.
I will say that.
Human acting is not what I'm there for.
I'm here to see these CGI
monsters fuck up Mechagodzilla.
Correct.
It did make me lose respect for Kong,
which is why I'm thinking
they gave him this fucking
power gauntlet.
The Infinity Gauntlet for this one.
Godzilla was working his ass off.
I mean, you're a big, strong-ass gorilla,
but...
these these things like
breathe fire and have like
superpowers and you're just
like you're just strong you
know what I'm saying like
cool we don't need you
throwing barrels at these
people we need you to like
fuck them up you know what
I'm saying so um yeah uh
I'm I'm I'm excited like I
said kaiju season is back
um I'm here to watch all of
it monster verse stuff I
have not watched monarch
though um but I don't need to watch that
I don't think that ties
directly in to Godzilla V. Kong,
but I'll be in theaters to watch it.
Yeah.
Jen, what about you?
Are you excited for this movie,
or are you just kind of like, eh,
it's another monster movie?
No, I'm...
Well, I'm a big Godzilla fan,
mostly because of my husband and my kids,
my youngest.
Like, you know,
Zeke carries around
Godzilla like other kids
carry around teddy bears.
And if he puts Godzilla, he's like, oh, no,
Godzilla.
I'm like, he's right here, Zeke.
He's like, oh, OK, Godzilla.
So I kind of love Godzilla
because of Godzilla.
My youngest.
Honestly, I love all the Godzilla movies.
Not so much the 1995-ish
Matthew Broderick one.
That one was... That was
like... Was that 97 or 98?
Something like that.
That one was trash.
Yeah, I mean, okay, so when it came out,
I was really, really excited.
I remember this very vividly.
There was lots of merch and stuff,
and I had cups,
and they had all sorts of
things that you can get,
and I remember going to the
theaters and watching it.
But I mean, when the newer ones came out,
way, way better.
He didn't look like a giant, like, iguana.
Like, he looked like the actual, like,
Godzilla from, like, the older movies.
I'm so glad they fixed that.
But, yeah, I mean,
I'm definitely here for it.
I love monster movies, too.
Especially with, like,
the Titans and everything.
And I do watch a lot of the
older ones that are a
little on the cheesy side.
But, you know,
they have a special place in my heart.
Still love them.
So, yeah, I'm here for it.
I'll watch it.
yeah I'm down for it I
literally so um while you
were talking I had a
flashback because you said
2000s and I thought of the
old uh king kong movie with
jack black and that was in
2005 so that's what I was
thinking about the one yeah
that one was yeah
I can't handle the bug scene.
The bug scene.
Like, I'm pretty tough, man.
Is that one of the scenes that you have to,
like,
cringe away from and you can't watch?
Oh, God.
Like, kind of.
Like, I'll watch it.
But, I mean, I'm just kind of, like,
I hope it's not too soon after dinner.
Because I'm almost like, ugh.
It's kind of disgusting.
horrible way to die but
anyways um so going into uh

godzilla x kong uh the new
empire like things you guys
