Daily(ish)

I’m recording late as often happens on Saturdays after going to see the theatrical encore of Avengers: Endgame. Watching it again in the same theater as I saw it originally in 2019 felt beautiful and sad, especially knowing what came next in the real world.

What is Daily(ish)?

Challenging myself to record a podcast episode a day for my 50th year on this planet.

Chris: Hello, welcome to Daily-ish
for Saturday, October 3rd, 2026.

I'm attempting to record an episode every
day for this, my 50th year on the planet.

Since it's Saturday, I often end
up re- forgetting to record the

episodes until way too late at night.

And yes, tonight we went to end up
seeing Avengers: Endgame, the encore

that they're showing in theaters.

Uh, I had seen it last, I think 2022 is
what I'd marked in my Letterboxd journal.

Uh, and then once in or twice in 2019.

It came out April of 2019, and
then, which I think then we

watched it in the theaters.

I remember that for sure.

And then we watched it again, I think
once it was on Disney+ with, with

the kids at that time And there's
something interesting, beautiful, sad

about seeing this movie now in the same
theater that I saw it back in 2019.

I remember walking out of the theater.

It was, you know, obviously without…

I think it's okay to spoil at this
point , but you know, a big sad ending,

but also uplifting and, you know, the
heroes save the day, but there's people

lost along the way and sacrifices
that they make defeating the bad guy.

And obviously knowing, like I said,
I've watched it three times, knowing

how it's all gonna play out, but still
picking up on moments earlier in the film

that I'm, that you know what are clues
and cues towards what's gonna happen.

Because back when Infinity Wars came
out, which was before that, we watched

that actually last night just at home.

But, when Infinity Wars ends,
it's kinda like the snap happens

and everyone just disappears.

And that came out in 2018, I believe.

And so I remember walking out
of the theater and just being

like kind of in disbelief that
that's how it was gonna end.

It wasn't like this big uplifting,
you know, heroes win ending.

It was a, we now need, you know, part two
obviously, which was what became Endgame.

So anyways, back in 2019, if we go
back to that, walking out of that

theater, uh, a year before COVID
hits the world and a couple of years

before a few events impacted my
family tremendously in different ways

And we were kind of talking before
we went to the movie of like, what

would we tell ourselves back in 2019
knowing what was going to happen now?

What would we want to tell
ourselves about what was ahead?

And

Playing a little game of, well, if you
could only say one thing about like all,

of all the things that have happened since
2019, what's one thing you'd wanna tell

yourself back then, uh, seven years ago,
to prepare you for what was going to come?

And kind of in the spirit of Endgame,
'cause obviously they do some time travel

and all that kind of stuff, it sort of
feels like, oh man, if we could go back

and like unwind things, go back a little
sooner, maybe 2017, unwind it a little

further and figure out the magic steps
to prevent Trump from impacting the world

somehow, and then obviously COVID and
everything else that went along with that.

So, like I said, spoilers of course
from the movie, but Tony Stark's speech

at the end of the movie before his
funeral felt especially poignant in,

when watching it and, uh, just kind of
reflecting on, again, back to 2019 and

hearing that then versus how it feels now.

And so I thought I'd just
play a little clip of that

Speaker: Everybody wants a happy ending
right but it doesn't always roll that way

Maybe this time

I'm hoping if you play this back

It's in celebration.

I hope families are reunited.

I hope we get it back and something like
a normal version of the planet has been

restored, if there ever was such a thing.

God, what a world.

Universe, now.

If you told me 10 years ago that we
weren't alone, let alone, you know, to

this extent, I mean, I, I, I wouldn't
have been surprised, but come on.

Who knew?

The epic forces of darkness and
light that have come into play.

And for better or worse, that's
the reality Morgan's gonna have

to find a way to grow up in

I love you 3,000

Avengers: Endgame: That's
the abridged version anyways.

So, uh, of course the I love you 3,000
is like a extra sad little moment, uh,

for any parent or maybe you've lost
a parent or a- anything in between

I know they're big mega superhero
movies, popcorn and, you know,

money generators, but it's still…

I'm a sucker for, for that kind of stuff.

I feel like I'm, I'm still sometimes
the kid who can't believe that all of

these characters are in a movie together.

And growing up, it felt like we'd get
Batman, we'd get Superman, we'd get

some of those movies every so often,
but that would- they would never work

out where they could, like, cross over
and be in any of the other movies,

and stories could intermingle and
tell a bigger story all along the way.

And Endgame definitely felt like the
culmination of, of all of that in a

way that was just really super cool.

So it's got me excited for
Avengers: Doomsday that's coming

out, uh, in December here.

And kind of like, yeah, I hope they
can pull off, like, uh, now actually

ending some of the characters', or
the actors' anyway, storylines and

set up something new with, like,
Young Avengers and things like that.

But it's awfully hard, I'm sure, to turn
down some of the money that can be made by

pulling out, you know, Robert Downey Jr.

and Chris Evans and those same
characters over and over again.

So I'm excited to see if they walk
that balance of that line of, you

know, nostalgia and the cash that that
generates, as well as taking a risk and

telling some new stories with new actors.
