The ultimate cookout starts with the ultimate ingredients.
At Whole Foods Market, no antibiotics ever, burgers and kebabs are prepped and ready to throw on the grill.
Fire up a juicy ribeye, grab creamy potato salad and savory flatbreads from the prepared foods department,
and round it all out with 365 brand condiments, chips and dips at everyday low prices.
Whole Foods Market, make your summer sizzle.
From the great halls of their house, there are assembled three who hope to one day be the world's greatest driving heroes.
Created from the cosmic legends of the universe, comes our team captain, The Vision, Bill Fisher.
And their soon-to-be wonder woman, Vicky Fisher.
And our captain, Marvel and head flight trainee, Jennifer Scribchuk.
Their mission, to fight injustice, share what is right and wrong, to get you out of your house,
and come out racing with them, and serve all mankind.
They are, the garage heroes in training team.
Bill, quit it. You would have died if you couldn't get a freaking slurpee, man.
I would have bought the machine, Benny. This was my chance.
Bill, don't tell me you're a slurpee fan too. Oh my god.
Oh yeah, he's all slurpee.
Oh no, man. Benny, for like five years every time I call him, he's like,
yeah, I'm just getting a slurpee and I'm like, oh my god, dude, what?
I don't do it that often anymore. I can't.
No, I can't either. That's my stomach.
Yeah, I wish they would start like Coke Zero Slurpee. I'd definitely be into that.
That's a sacrilege. You know what?
Okay, so there's no 7-Eleven's near me. It's like 30 minutes to the closest 7-Eleven,
not that I know exactly where it is. Oh, no way.
Yeah, that's why I want to go there.
But Wawa, they do okay. They're different. They're more like ICs.
So I'm desperate today and I'm falling asleep. It's one of those like
mid-afternoon things. I go out to lunch at like two something. I go to Burger King
and I pull in and I'm like, I want a large Coke. I see.
And she's like, okay. And then she says, oh, are IC machines on defrost? And I'm like, well,
how often does it go on defrost? She says every 24 hours, I'm like,
then why don't you have it when you're closed?
Right. Of course.
The fuck? It's summer.
Especially in the summer. Come on.
No, like the 1-7-Eleven that was on the way when I was doing some testing in California,
it was on the way. It's defrost time was somewhere between 6 and 8 in the morning.
Check, check.
No, granted. Yeah, you're good, Jeff.
Granted, who's going to have a slurpee besides me at 6 or 8 in the morning?
But, yeah, but I'm like, oh my God, you guys are all slurpee fanatics.
Why don't you have it? Do it at like 3 in the morning.
3 in the morning. Not going to lose a lot of customers.
How many do you lose? One of them had a during lunch. I'm like, what the fuck?
I've never been going to like three or four of them or no. I think it was probably about three
in a row trying to get like a Coke slurpee and like all of them were broken.
I know. If they don't have a Coke slurpee, leave.
Like the Cedar by us, they have 24 by machines. So there's eight flavors.
One of them is Coke and like seven of them are other things.
And they're like, well, the Coke one's broken. I'm like, then you should take some of the other
crap shit out and put the Coke in. What takes me off is that like the AMC by our house,
before they used to charge you the same for all any drink. And now again, now the the
ICs are like four or five bucks more. Their drinks are expensive as hell anyways.
You know, it's like the only thing that I'm interested in, right?
The only thing they make on the on-surf.
Very important. Very important. If you're tapping your own slurpee.
Yes. Obviously, you're going to get Coke.
Do you mix it with a fruit?
No, God, no.
Oh, no, you're not living life.
If you don't, I'll do vanilla.
Oh my God.
Yeah, I'll do vanilla. I work for fruit. Yeah.
Don't make me go downstairs and get my shave ice machine out.
I will show you.
I haven't had a slurpee since I was like, well, in the last 30 years, I haven't had one.
And that's why you don't know what you're missing out on.
This is part of the reason there's a mental crisis down in Florida. That's all I'm saying.
Not enough slurpees.
Not enough slurpees.
It's a BYOS state, you know?
Oh my God.
I can't believe it. You're all slurpee fanatics. That's crazy.
See, but I never get a slurpee at the movie.
No, I did.
Josh gets a slurpee probably half the time.
I do, too. I try to.
It's about the only thing I get at the movies.
I don't get any of the other stuff.
Yeah.
So here's Vicki's way.
I don't want one.
Why don't you get one?
And then.
She drinks.
Half of it.
Get two straws.
You don't even want two straws. You just want to stuck your face in there.
I know that I can't eat. I can't drink that much of it because it'll upset my stomach.
But yeah, somehow you still do.
I do.
I do.
The most amazing thing is when the ice is stuck at the bottom, you know that last little bit that
stuck in the corner and she's at the top of the thing and that tongue comes out.
Gets it like a gecko lizard.
Josh, you're muted.
Tell them all what my new addiction is at the movie theater.
You've said it before. It's Cheeto popcorn.
Cheetos.
It's flavored popcorn.
I can't remember what it was.
No, no, no.
You don't understand.
It's popcorn that has just as much Cheetos dust as regular Cheetos.
Wait, wait, wait. Mixed with actual Cheetos.
Oh my God.
That sounds like a good match.
If it was Nacho Doritos, I'm with you. Cheetos? Not so much.
It's like so it's two different crunches, all the same flavor.
Oh my God.
Wow.
Nacho Doritos, I'm with you.
You know what I see up here that they do?
They throw the little...
You know, the little...
By the way, you should totally be recording it.
This should be the intro.
Talking about what we eat at the movie theater.
It should be.
Yeah.
That's fine. I can edit.
I got to edit a couple of things out before you got on,
but that's a different story.
What they do up here is they put the little chocolate pieces,
like not the bars, but the little...
Like raisins?
No, no, no.
Like the minis, whatever they are, in the popcorn and they kind of melt.
They get too squishy, man. Not good.
I don't know.
Not good.
No.
I don't know if I want that.
Yeah.
My favorite is the non-parrels.
So I've been eating non-parrels since I was a little kid.
Yeah, but don't mix them in the popcorn.
No, don't mix them in the popcorn.
But I just...
Do they mix them in the popcorn?
I remember going to the actual movies.
Yeah.
You're at your own peril if you put that in my popcorn.
I always used to get the Jordan Malmans.
They don't have those at the theater anymore.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
Wait, wait.
Did you grow up in 1953?
At the movie theater?
Where's the same thing as like those neck away furs?
Did you have those too?
Yes.
That's for people who don't have sugar.
Yeah, they're awful.
They're terrible.
Oh, no, guys.
What is this?
They were developed with when times when people couldn't afford to have sugar.
Now they do.
So that stuff's back of the bus.
Even five below doesn't have that stuff.
Oh, my God.
Welcome to the Garage Heroes and Training podcast about Supergirl.
It's more than just that, I hope.
We're going to talk about all summer movies, aren't we?
At least a little.
Like if you say, hey, they're just talking about Supergirl,
I hear like everybody like skip podcasts.
Mark has played.
Yep.
Hey, listen, you know, the old joke in podcast,
we don't care if you listen, we just want you to download.
Like we like we make any money from this, but that's fine.
All right.
Do the introductions.
Who's here?
I'm Vicki.
Yes, you are.
This is Jeff.
It is.
I'm Josh.
Recently graduated.
Congratulations.
Congratulations.
Congrats.
And then the brothers.
Benny.
And this is Alex from Florida.
You gotta go slow.
Alex fast vendor from Florida.
No, he wanted you to do the Michael fast vendor voice build.
I can do that.
Don't worry.
Nobody can do it just like him.
There's going to be some fast vendor in this one
because I have a feeling we're going to have some disagreements.
There should be some fast vendor in this.
I mean, according to you, there should be some fast vendor in you.
I mean, in everything.
I agree with both statements, by the way.
I had a joke plan, but I knew I couldn't say it.
You're a graduate now.
You can say it, Josh.
He's 18.
I didn't want to have to give you an editing job,
but anyways, straight meat munching over here.
Yeah, baby.
Let's clean it up.
Hey, man, if it's fast vendor, let's munch some of that.
There you go.
It's okay.
We'll let everybody...
Tell us, everybody, Bill.
Tell everybody what we're doing today.
Who is this podcast?
Start us up with a round of questions.
So usually we talk cars.
For those of you who came here for cars,
obviously from the intro, we're not going to be much cars.
There might be some cars and movies that we're talking about,
but this is mostly movies.
And with the kickoff of the summer movie season,
superhero style with Supergirl, Toy Story 57, 58.
I think so.
I think that's it.
Something like that.
And some other movies.
And then some upcoming ones that we were kind of excited about.
I'd like to do Steven Spielberg's movie as well, by the way.
I thought maybe it was time to get the wood crew together.
And when we talk wood, we got nobody else to come on
besides these guys.
So we said yes.
Good to know we're the bottom of the barrel.
You're the only barrel.
You're the whole barrel, Jeff.
So, all right.
So I guess the most time-sensitive one is Supergirl.
So let's see.
We've got...
Did we all see it?
Let's start there.
I think so.
We all did.
I did not see it.
Who didn't?
I did not.
All right.
He was sitting next to me.
He's lying.
He's denying.
OK.
So since we have two females, Alex,
why don't you go into Supergirl?
I'm glad you respect my lifestyle.
That's right.
It's a choice.
That's fine.
Yeah.
Supergirl was not good, in my opinion.
Wow.
You're like Siskel.
Yeah.
Not good.
No bueno.
Just going to rip the band-aid off, huh?
I had a lot of hopes for it, and none of them were met,
and they were all dashed.
Not good.
And give us your background.
You are a comic book guy who is DC-centric, correct?
Super.
I was actually a little bit more Marvel when I was young.
OK.
Now I'm more DC.
And yeah, this is supposed to be one of Cara's seminal stories,
or the most important story in her comic book canon.
And they did not do it justice.
I liked the actress.
I liked her in House of the Dragon quite a bit.
And I'm a fan of the director also.
I think Craig Gillespie has made some pretty good movies.
But yeah, this was not good.
Has he made any very good movies, though?
I thought that Lars and the Real Girl was very good.
Oh, he did Lars and the Real Girl.
That was good.
Yeah, he did Itaunia also.
That was pretty good.
Itaunia was excellent.
But both movies are kind of indie, darling movies where sometimes a director
that makes that transition, like he obviously did here,
where he's got a lot of money.
Yeah.
Don't do it as well or successful.
And he did not.
Some have, but he definitely did not.
Okay.
So who else has an opinion about this movie?
Well, I've got one question.
I think I'd like to reshare it eventually.
Go ahead, Josh.
Tell us what you thought.
Make it short.
All right.
I'll just steal something I heard from elsewhere.
But saying basically, it's the worst James Gunn movie, I'll have to say.
But it is nowhere near the stinky poo poo pee pee of the DCEU.
Have you seen?
The details of Harley Quinn.
I did see that.
And her momentous failure of a movie.
Is that the little birds one?
Birds of prey.
Birds of prey.
No, no, no.
Yeah, it's essentially birds of prey.
Here's my heart take.
That wasn't too bad.
Wow.
Okay.
You've always thought that.
But by the way, he has other movies that are not so good.
I mean, we did this one movie called Super that wasn't that great.
Yeah, he's got a couple of games.
Yeah, that was not good.
Yeah, he's got a few other ones.
So Vicky, what do you got?
Vicky's got a question for Benny.
Benny, was this all canon?
Oh, Benny.
Oh, okay.
They changed some things.
Like the.
Yeah, the logo wasn't in the comic.
Yeah, the biggest thing that they changed is in the comic books,
Kara's always actually been older.
Yes.
Biologically, then, then Kal-El, like she was actually born like she was supposed to take care of him.
She was like a suspended animation.
And then there was, yeah, there was like.
She was missing her accent.
Yeah.
Right.
And that's how she ended up landing after he did and and physically looking younger than him.
But chronologically, she's supposed to be older than him.
They changed that in the movie.
Did they change the villain plot?
Yes, because he's not super powered in the in the story.
He's not.
And the whole thing with his wives and all that, that was also added into the movie.
Okay.
Yeah.
And I don't know about you guys, but I mean, I think this is the first time I've seen the green sun.
Yeah, green sun was.
Yeah, I never heard of a green sun.
Never.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So while we're there, was it just me, the green sun was like, I don't think that's real.
But I mean, it's a comic book.
So whatever, maybe I missed it.
Exactly.
But yeah.
Where exactly did he know she was from Krypton?
I did.
What did I miss?
Right.
Right.
I guess, probably, I don't know.
This was like what my mind went to when I saw it.
I guess maybe he just saw, oh, there's this person flying with laser eyes and stuff.
That's a Kryptonian right there.
But just to be safe, we're going to put her on this green sun planet.
Because there's two.
Yeah, exactly.
Right.
So it's not like these are widely known.
You know, across the universe.
Oh, it's a Krypton.
We got to get to a green sun.
Yeah.
So I know.
No, no, no.
But when they did, when he when she did mention who she was, the younger girl knew who she was.
So there was a history that went out of that planet going up.
She did.
Yeah, I think she would say.
So I think the population in general knew that that the planet had been destroyed.
But I don't know that that they that it was public knowledge that there were, you know,
two survivors.
And that it would you they would be green sun.
Yeah.
Disturbed by.
I mean, the Krypton, the Krypton Tribune did not sit there and say, hey, by the way,
when we get away from this planet and we're causing any issues, just take us to a green sun.
I don't think that was one of the.
Kryptonite was not one of the.
He had a history coming out of Earth.
But in general Kryptonite, it was not a known thing to hurt Kryptonians.
Yeah, yeah.
It also was a reaction due to the planet piece being subjected to yellow sun.
Yeah.
Oh, so.
So, can I.
Maybe it was an educated guess.
If the if the planet's piece that they're on is subjected to yellow sun, let's use math.
So, so here's.
So all of them are superheroes now.
I yeah.
And they could just fly away.
No, no.
And I'm going to tell you that that there's definitely Vicki.
There's a flaw with the whole him knowing about the green sun and all that because, you know,
unless they're changing the canon even more in the comic books, aside from her being older,
they've always like made Krypton a xenophobic planet where they.
Yeah, nobody had ever.
Right.
They so nobody there's no way like other aliens would have known that they could have been
weakened by a green sun or.
Yeah.
Or I just Google it right now.
Green suns first appeared in Superman 155 in 1962.
In that story, a villain used a giant filter to turn aliens planet sunlight green,
which temporarily drained Superman of his powers.
Well, but it's not a natural.
So let me have a little more than drain her powers.
Let me have a dissenting opinion here.
So I do not read comic books my whole life.
I am not a DC guy.
I'm not a Marvel guy.
I watch all the movies.
This movie was not great.
No, but it was not the horrible mess that I think a lot of the people are trying to say it.
I agree.
OK, so I completely agree with you.
I'm to be fair, Alex kind of tempered my expectations because.
I mean, if you've got Alex, it's pretty bad.
Yeah.
So the fact that you made it seem so horrible, probably, you know, lowered my expectations.
It's pretty bad.
Yeah.
However, I don't think it was as bad as you did.
I actually I think her performance was great.
I think really good job.
She did the problem with the movie.
I had problems with the movie.
Villain, villain.
And the last one's going to be Lobo.
Oh my God, that was so terrible.
Lobo sucks, man.
Yeah, I think all of the fault of this movie.
I thought the effects were fine.
I thought the acting was fine.
I think every problem was available in the paper script the day they printed it.
I agree 100 percent.
Yeah.
That's how I came out of that movie with it.
It was very forgettable.
It's just a good.
And I really I really, really, really wanted to like it.
And and and you know, girl girl movies just in general, when it comes to superheroes,
they just don't fare well because I don't think they write them well.
No, and you have to have for any superhero movie, you have to have a good.
Villain, like if you think back most, if not all of the great superhero movies have a great foil to the hero.
You know, you have to.
It's like without that, and this really, God.
And this dude sucks.
It was very cliche.
So forgettable.
I have to say it was all all the villainy was cliche.
Yeah, it was it was very predictable.
Yep.
And you already knew the outcome before it before it even started.
I mean, honestly, I was just telling Bill on the way out, they ran a rubric on it.
They ran a rubric and it's the same rubric that just goes through all the movies.
It was mechanical.
It was very mechanical.
Yeah, it was.
And I I'm not faulting any of the acting at all.
Like I said, they did great.
The effects were great.
But but they did try to pack a lot into it in a sense where they wanted you to get emotions from a lot of different places.
And you really couldn't focus on one.
Yep.
It's just like a real Tom King comic.
The the story is great, but the dialogue is trash.
Yeah, the story was great.
A lot of people complain about the the similarities to true grit.
That was actually the aspect that I kind of liked about the movie, you know,
and to her relationship with the girl, that was good.
But that was good.
She was so forgettable.
I stayed to the credits just to figure out her name.
I didn't mind the interplay between the two the two girls, women,
I
You mean Diego Montoya and Supergirl?
That was that was Diego Montoya.
She had the same but less catchy phrase every time she introduced herself.
Yeah, yeah.
That amidst the actress, whoever the actress was.
So I didn't mind that, but it was I think I've heard the word forgettable four or five times.
I watched the movie.
I wasn't offended.
No, it wasn't.
And I'm not I'm not interested in the second viewing.
And I'm like, all right, that was all right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I told Alex that that I am so over Jason Momoa at this point.
Oh my God, it was so bad in this.
He's he's they could have done really great stuff with him.
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
Go ahead.
No, no, no, no.
I was just going to say like all the bad parts of Johnny Depp like playing himself and
then we did that.
That's basically what he's become.
You know?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So so not being a DC person, not being a comic book person.
Everyone's like, oh my God, I can't wait for Lobo.
Oh my God, I can't wait for Lobo.
Oh my God, I can't wait for Lobo.
And I got there and I was like, that's what you're looking for.
Didn't do much with it.
Dude, dude, and I'll tell you this.
I mean, this is this might be a hot take also, but Lobo has sucks since the 90s.
Actually, he kind of sucked even back then, but but he got a lot more traction with with
because he's kind of like DC's Deadpool, right?
Yeah.
So he definitely got a lot more traction there.
But I mean, look, Carl, Carl Drogo, Jason Momoa would have freaking knocked it out of the park.
I had a bean.
By not by not talking.
Yes.
It's like the Terminator.
The reason the Terminator one was so good is because we didn't let Arnold act and talk.
Not letting Jason Momoa act and talk.
Just be there and look like you look and grunt.
And now you're doing well.
I feel like let's be honest.
It would be fine if if they didn't even have a Lobo in there.
He served no purpose.
No purpose.
What purpose can you get a Lobo?
He wasn't.
He wasn't in the comic, guys.
He was not.
So this was all for the movie.
He wasn't.
But I feel like when it comes to a character like Lobo, who's like this,
like this edgy character, he's just there to make like is inappropriate jokes and he can't die.
This and that.
You kind of when you put him into a movie and you don't make him the star,
you kind of have no choice but to just shove him in the corner and put the little flashy
lights.
Hey, it's Lobo.
Look at that Lobo.
Wow.
So what do you guys think?
Do you think that Jason Momoa can pull Orion Reynolds?
No.
I don't think so either.
Could you mean could he carry a movie?
Yeah.
Orion Reynolds first appearance as Deadpool was probably terrible.
It's probably just bad.
Yeah.
You know what I'm going to say?
He can't carry a movie.
He could carry a TV show.
Maybe like a little five or six episode thing of just Lobo, like R rated Lobo series going on
Bounties.
I feel like that can be good.
Did anybody see Momoa and Batista movie?
What was the Momoa and Batista movie?
No, but I know.
It was Hawaiian.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
No, it didn't see it.
It was pretty good.
Yeah.
I don't think I saw it.
I wonder if they actually put him in there to carry some kind of star power over.
Maybe.
Like maybe.
I mean, just to add like, OK, well, well, we have a bunch of new faces that's really
kind of unrecognizable.
Maybe we need to have somebody to draw them in.
Hopefully we don't know if we do it.
He loves Lobo.
His ridiculous interpretation, his Jason Momoa character that he now has actually
Good dude or no?
Good or no?
Jack Black was great. Jack Black was...
I went to it.
Jack Black could be funny.
Enough said.
Jack Black was...
Yeah, you know.
He was Jack Black.
Alright, so wrapping up Supergirl, because, you know...
I don't think we're going to...
Here, can I do a wrap up question for the...
Sure.
And I'm totally stealing this from the Midnight Boys on the Ringerverse podcast.
Pew Pew!
The movie came out, they asked, is it more important that it makes money or that it's a good movie?
I think we're now seeing that it has done neither.
It has not...
Right.
The fanboys do not like it.
The general population doesn't like it.
Nobody's going to see it.
It is probably going to lose money.
Around the table, what is the biggest disaster?
That this could...
That not making money could make DC no longer trust or change directions.
Or is it that...
They've never done that before, though.
Or is it that all of you, the core audience, are so pissed off that you don't want to see the next movie?
It'll take them more than this to do that.
I mean, we can black out them.
But I would think...
I would think the one thing...
What?
The one thing is, I know that Matt Reeves has been having quite a lot of trouble with James Gunn.
And this is going to give him a lot more leverage.
It absolutely is.
And I think that ends up being the biggest issue here.
You know, I'm still going to watch Man on Tomorrow.
And I'm still excited for...
Of course, for...
For the universe.
But, but, but...
This absolutely throws a monkey wrench into James Gunn's plan.
And Matt Reeves' stuff has been both critically acclaimed and made pretty decent money.
Pretty good money, yeah.
But it was bad.
For the non-fanboys, what did Matt Reeves do?
Batman.
He did The Batman.
The Batman and the Penguin.
Yep.
And the Penguin, both of which made a...
I knew he did the Penguin.
I was googling to see what else he did.
Yeah, the Penguin was...
And the Batman.
And we're talking about the gritty, dark one that has a...
A repatencing.
A repatencing on it.
Both, I think, set a great tone.
Yeah.
That was totally different from what is going on in the Marvel world.
To where it felt like a different thing.
I didn't feel like I was watching a superhero movie.
I felt like I was watching a noir detective...
Agree.
Grate crime.
And that seems to be a better way, maybe, for DC to go.
So, here's what I'm going to put out there.
If Clayface is not successful, they will not make James Gunn's Batman.
I feel like...
All right.
Yeah.
I got a feeling Clayface might end up being struggling after this.
So what you're saying is the unsuccessfulness.
Right.
Because it's not a good movie.
Yeah.
Well, here's...
Well, here's Clayface.
Here's Clayface to be successful.
Here's the issue.
Here's the issue that, I mean, from, again, the movie girl perspective of watching these,
is that I think the population is starting to, if not already there, at superhero movie exhaustion.
I think that they want...
They've gone through...
Well, listen.
Listen, no, serious.
The thing is, is that everybody going in is starting to recognize a rubrics.
And the rubrics are definitely within DC.
Now, you have a whole different formula that is happening over on the Marvel side.
They're a lot less.
But they're struggling too.
Yes, they are struggling.
But it always seems like on the DC side, they can't get out of their own way.
I don't know what's going on over there, but there always seems like they keep trying,
and then they're trying, and they have a couple wins, but then they're trying.
And I think that their movies have just gotten to a point, at least on the DC side,
is that they're just highly, highly predictable.
And they have to take another turn.
Whether they go a darker route, I mean, darker would be great.
And you can leave the Marvel to the lighter side.
You can't do darker.
The one thing I'll tell you, the one thing I'll tell you is that I think people are still
receptive to, you know, maybe they see DC, they see Marvel.
OK, but I mean, Masters of the Universe actually made money.
Yeah.
And so did so did Mortal Kombat.
But they broke out of the superhero rubric.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
And they were actually, they had completely different formulas.
Mortal Kombat's actually a half decent movie.
Yeah, it was fun.
Yeah.
Here's what I'm going to say.
As a non-DC person, someone who has not read the comic books and not all this,
you're all excited for Clay Face and the Man of Tomorrow.
I'm ready for lanterns.
I'm not.
I think lanterns looks amazing.
I'm ready for lanterns.
Yeah.
Lanterns could be really cool.
Could be really cool.
I think Lindelof doing something that's more true detective is absolutely the
way we should be moving.
But then Chandler is a good choice for Hal Jordan.
I'll tell you what I'm really excited for right now is Spider-Man.
Because we're not there yet.
OK, OK, OK, OK, OK.
OK, we'll get there.
We'll get there.
Now that now that Ms. Vicki's almost plugged back in so I can start talking again.
Take it.
Hello, welcome back to the podcast.
They're not tired of superhero movies.
They're tired of bad superhero movies.
I'm there.
I'm there.
Yeah, I think they're also tired of good ones.
I know I like Thunderbolts more than most, but I thought that movie was pretty
good.
Nobody wants to see it.
Nobody wants to see it.
Superman make pretty good like 600 million or something like that.
But you're right.
Thunderbolts is a better movie.
I thought Thunderbolts was great and most people didn't go out and see it.
It was so much in loss of money.
That is one thing we didn't mention.
Corn sweats Superman.
Awesome.
They'll still shine in this movie.
Yeah, he's still shine in this movie.
It was the most interesting.
The whole scene where he's like opening up the pod.
I was cheese and grinning ear to ear.
Yeah, yeah, I agree, dude.
Yeah.
So here's here's a theory that if you look at the data, it seems to be caring for it.
If the prior movie is terrible or does poorly, the next movie pays for it.
Yes.
So not 100% true.
I wouldn't say 100%.
So didn't say what DC movie was before this.
Superman.
Superman.
I'm saying it's not holding because this one is suffering on its own.
It's got to have a movie, but there's a momentum.
Let me tell you, this movie was out for like, I think, 10 minutes before I saw the internet
saying it's a terrible movie.
That was a negative reaction.
The negative reaction was faster than I think recently we've seen.
But what are they doing with the female based movies where they just can't seem to launch them well?
They did two thirds of Wonder Woman.
I mean, I gotta say that the last one that I would say that was just was really good was probably the first Wonder Woman.
There's people who say Black Widow was good.
I kind of like Black Widow.
I kind of like the Black Widow.
I think they'll watch it once and never again.
The Suicide Squad.
I can't remember if it was The Suicide or Suicide Squad.
The first one was better.
The second one.
The first one was not better, Bill.
Come on, dude.
Second one was terrible.
The second one was a, was led by, I won't say it was, I mean, yes, it was an ensemble piece, but that was led by the Harley Quinn character.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So I think that was good.
Oh, suicide. Sorry, I thought you were talking about the Harley Quinn.
No, no, no, Suicide Squad.
Yeah, The Suicide Squad, I think.
Yeah, whichever one.
That's not the one.
That's not the one.
That one was good.
The one with Staro.
That's the second one.
I thought you were talking about the fascinating debutation of the Harley Quinn and her.
And her birds of prey.
I was going to say, I'm careful.
I look like.
I already said, I like it.
It's like the only person that does.
I already said, I like it.
Okay.
So there's kind of like, I guess in my idea, because I feel like we're all getting this idea, you know, like the sins of the father, you know, if this movie stinks, it's going to put pressure on the next movie.
I feel like there's a non-zero chance that because we went from Superman, like sort of, I guess, aspiring movie, fix the reputation of being able to write Superman in a DC property.
Right.
Bars up here.
Now a Supergirl, that bar, that bar isn't hell.
Right.
Now maybe with the next movie, we can go at least it was better than Supergirl.
Well, I mean, that's a pretty low bar to step over.
So yeah, I hope so.
It's.
I don't think this was terrible.
I think the, the formulaic formulaic properties as Vicki was saying too much, too much following the, the, the rubric.
I think the immediate negative reaction.
Didn't help.
And, you know, yes, superhero fatigue did not help this movie.
I think in another world, it might have broken even.
So out of 10, because we do, we typically rate out of 10 because, you know, we're weird that way.
Where are you at, Jeff?
Like a 65 somewhere in there.
Okay.
Josh.
Five.
Okay.
Benny.
Six.
Okay.
Vic.
Yeah, I would say about a six.
Okay.
Black man Alex, because sitting in the door.
I'll give it a five.
Okay.
I'm like, Jeff, I'm in between a five and a six.
I think I, I think I want to give it a six, but it probably is a five.
I don't know.
Bill, before we move on though, I do think, I do think Vicki's right.
I mean, it's, it's kind of sad that the best part of the Supergirl movie was Superman.
You know, and, and, and I think that they're, they're not doing a good job writing these scripts, particularly for female heroes.
Yeah.
It's a writing problem.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Small, small sample too.
Though I feel like, oh, if you think about, think about Captain Marvel, I never really liked that movie.
I liked the last 15 minutes of it.
And that will be made like a billion dollars or something like that.
I know it.
I know it was in the middle of the event of Avengers.
Yeah.
I mean, it's not that Infinity War hype.
So that's not really a good thing.
But then, but then the second one made like 200 million, like, which was a massive drop off.
The Marvel's whatever.
Yeah.
The Marvel's.
If you, if you watched it, it was a drop off.
The writing, the writing, the writing was not good.
Everything else was fine.
Yeah.
I mean, the actors perform well.
Yeah.
But the writing was terrible.
Right.
So you really think about it in each little segment.
If you broke the movie up in tiny little segments, the little segments were awesome.
I was going to.
It just didn't stitch well.
The whole thing with the cats and the.
I feel like to, at least for like a final question, there's clearly, at least that's what the entire Internet is doing.
There's clearly a finger to point as to why this movie sucked so badly.
Like, people would say, oh, you know, somebody could point and say, but hurt Snyder fans.
Somebody could point and say, oh, you know, a male dominated fandom like comic books isn't going to respond well to a female lead superhero movie.
Or you could point and be like, oh, the writing, what would you say the finger should be pointed at the writing, the script writing.
Yeah, writing.
And I don't think the director, because I think the director can save a poorly written project.
He didn't help this one.
I don't think the director had enough.
Whatever we call it, blockbuster.
Yeah, experience or whatever.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So speaking of blockbuster, there's this guy.
I don't know if you heard of him.
His name is Steve.
He's directed a couple of movies in the past.
I don't know, Steve.
Nice guy.
I'm going to get nice and quiet here because I didn't see it.
Did you see that movie?
Yeah, I haven't seen it.
So I can't say anything on the latest feeling, but I will tell you this, Bill.
I used to love Spielberg and the last 25 years have been rough, man.
The response hasn't been that great either, though.
That's not, not at least not what I expected.
You know, it's like Alex and I were kind of hoping that this was going to be like his return to form.
And when I saw that, at least the buzz didn't seem to indicate that, at that point I said,
you know what, I'm going to have to wait to watch it at home.
So give us your, give us your rundown.
Benny's OK waiting for it at home.
And I think.
Oh, no, no, no, don't worry.
No, I said Benny's OK with waiting for it at home.
It was, it was OK.
It was, you know, it was better than Supergirl, but it wasn't, it wasn't Spielberg.
So, so when you put it, when you measure it against close encounters,
I don't like close encounters, but this is kind of the same.
Oh, it's.
Oh, it's.
Encounters.
So are you even a.
Oh, my God.
Wait, wait, how do you call yourself a Spielberg fan?
We all know he's got, he's got way better movies, Benny.
Come on, dude.
Yeah, dude, but come on.
Close.
He made a.
I'm not a fan of that.
I have to agree with everything.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, no.
Yeah, I'm a huge fan.
So, so, so think about it that way.
Considering the fact that I'm a fan of close encounters, would I like it?
You'd like it.
OK, it's, it's different, but it's.
What I heard is that it's got kind of an ambiguous ending.
I guess there were some people saying it was like his part too.
Yeah, that's what I've heard.
And then my personal favorite is this is the government's way of telling us
indirectly.
So they hired Spielberg because one of his friends directed the moon landing.
So this is their way of telling us that there's a.
Which I thought was hilarious.
And so I think Spielberg has moved to the point in his career where this is
not the right story for him.
No, I think he has to write character pieces these days.
I think that the fableman's was excellent.
I think catch me if you can catch me if you can is one of his better movies.
Catch me if you can.
That's great movie.
That was his last like great movie.
I agree.
Was it his last?
That great.
He had a good he one after it, but that was his last one.
I agree with that.
He's had good ones, but like great.
He had a good one.
No, what do you think?
He's had a couple of good ones.
I think he's had a couple.
No, no.
Did you watch the fableman's?
The fableman's was good.
It was very good.
I liked it.
Yeah.
And then it was okay, but I wasn't a fan of the BFG and I wasn't
the video game one was was good too.
It was okay.
It was okay.
I like the book a lot.
So I was kind of a but like like like if you think about it like Munich,
saving private Ryan and catch me if you can.
Like yeah, those were all great.
These this is his career now.
It was actually pretty good.
Not Jurassic Park, ET Raiders.
Lincoln Lincoln.
Oh, I see Lincoln.
I'm more a fan of that.
Yeah, I like that.
But I hate it.
But it's also because guys, sorry, but I I I gotta let you know that it's not
just fast vendors meet that he'd be happy with.
So so in that same group, I like DDL.
I'm not going to lie.
I do.
What about ready player one?
Where do we fall on that one?
I love my book and I liked the movie.
D minus.
No, no, no.
Okay.
So I don't I completely disagree with that.
I love ready player one.
I actually one of the things that I really enjoyed about that movie was the
the way the sense of nostalgia in that movie and the way it expresses it.
It was great.
I mean, I dude, I was nerding out the whole time I'm watching that movie.
And I thought that that no, I'm telling you, it was.
Yeah, I really like that movie.
Like all the the the what's his name references from from movies and classic
movies in the 80s and stuff and doing that within the trappings of a
video game world.
I thought it was cool.
It's really good.
So this is why it fell down for me a little bit.
The book had all of the nostalgia.
Plus a intricate plot that you actually cared about the characters and they
actually had to like do smart things to solve.
It wasn't just an action movie.
Like there was a heavier, you know, I hate to call it
this, but like escape room vibe where they had to figure out from the
history of those pieces how to solve the puzzles to win the whatever it was,
the gold neg.
Right.
That's probably not a good movie, though.
If you did it that much.
Oh, no, no, I'm 100%.
That's why I said I like to the movie because they could not have done
the book.
Right.
All right.
So we've done Supergirl.
We've done Spielberg.
Let's move on to what's well should be you.
57 was awesome.
You got to give your report of the of your Spielberg movie.
Okay.
Can we talk about the most important and best movie of the season so far?
Are we talking Rocky?
We are going to talk about Rocky.
Very well.
Go for it.
Have you had the floor?
Has anyone read the book?
The the the project Hail Mary.
No, that was great.
I have not read the book.
The movie was amazing.
The movie was amazing.
And they made all the right choices taking a book that you can't
be 100% transformed.
You know, the things they left, they left out the right stuff.
They took out the right amount of math and they made a fantastic
movie and Holy cow.
Yeah.
Make me sound like Alex.
Ryan Reynolds could do.
Oh, he's awesome.
He is awesome.
Like I, I'm ready to watch him do anything.
Wait, now Ryan Reynolds.
Ryan Goss.
Sorry, Ryan Reynolds.
Ryan Reynolds can do a lot.
I was like,
it's the director's.
Jeff, Jeff, I'm with you, man.
I'll watch anything that Gosling does.
Yeah.
Especially Saturday Night Live.
I'm kind of with you there.
Yeah.
He, the movie was great.
And honestly, I, I hadn't read the books.
So I was going into the book.
I was going into the book.
I was going into the book.
I was going into the book.
So I was going in there.
Completely, you know, blind.
And yeah, I enjoyed it.
It was so good.
It was awesome.
The Rocky character.
So far.
Yeah.
The way they characterize it.
So far this season, it's probably the best.
Yeah.
I have to agree with both of you guys.
It's the best one so far.
Best one I've seen.
I'm not sure.
I would say in everything, right?
All right.
I have, there's a couple of horror movies out there.
I haven't seen yet.
And back rooms.
I'm forward back rooms.
Back rooms and obsessions.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Both of those.
I'll give it.
If I have, if I can take the floor, I can talk about back rooms for a
little 30 seconds.
Sure.
All right.
Back rooms.
Especially when it comes to like, uh,
Horm media or just any films in general, based off of like internet
trends, like it's almost like a guarantee that they're just going to
do it horribly.
The slender man movie.
Um, there was a slender man movie.
Yeah.
It was horrible.
It was horrible.
Yeah.
It was kind of bad.
Uh, the FNAF movies, they didn't quite hit the bar.
This one surprisingly did.
I feel like it was that fact that they got somebody to direct it who knew
the source material and made the most popular adaptation of it.
Only 21.
It's making a lot of money and a lot of people are talking about it and
saying that this is the next big young directors.
Only 20 years old.
Both of those movies are Gen Z kids and both obsession too.
And you take both.
I haven't seen obsession, but that's on my list.
They both started, uh, on YouTube.
Both directors.
Yeah.
And the two twins from Australia that did, uh, talk to her or talk to me.
Whatever it's called.
They're pretty good and they're also pretty young.
They're like in their early 20s.
Cool.
So not the Bash Spielberg there, Bill.
Yes.
But I'm just saying.
Legend.
Maybe it's time for the youth to take over.
All right, go on.
That's fine.
All right.
So, so let's, let's start at the top.
The movie that everybody's talking about, the movie that everybody wants to see,
the, the, the summer smash, uh, Gail Daughtry and the celebrity sex pass.
Uh, I thought we were going to talk about minions and monsters.
I'm sorry.
Yeah.
My bad.
I thought we were talking about Haiti sound pro shot.
All right.
Well, let's go chronological.
Let's go Moana.
How are we doing with Moana?
Are we in treatment?
I got a young daughter.
So I got to go see Moana.
Our movie theater has like the posters of all the upcoming movies that everywhere.
The live action Moana poster is right next to the bathroom in the hallway.
You'd have to find it.
I think we can all tell where this movie is going to go.
Live action remakes.
No, live action is slop gone.
I was telling about it.
They do need money.
All right.
It's flopped.
But, but, but they made money.
It's going to get money.
To me, the rock is dangerously close to Mo Moa territory.
Dangerously close.
We're like,
more like Jason Momoa is dangerously close to rock territory.
All right.
The rock has never been able to act.
You might be right.
He's never acted.
You might be right.
I'll say that if you haven't seen the, the smashing machine, don't say that.
That's like the only time he actually acted.
Yeah.
The smashing machine.
Not even the WWE could he act.
All right.
All right.
Nobody cares about that movie.
Next movie.
I think, I think it's melody.
Okay.
So that week, cross going against Moana.
They have two comedies.
Do we, do we care about comedies?
Sure.
Yes, yes we do.
The invite starring Seth Rogen, Olivia Wilde, Penelope Cruz and Edward Norton.
Never heard of it.
Soul.
Soul.
Watch.
Watch.
What about Gail Daughtry and the celebrity sex pass starring Joey Deutch,
John Hamm, Carrie Kinney and Richard Tind.
Watch.
Better cast.
I might see that.
All right.
I want to see it, but yeah, I won't pay for it at the theater.
Okay.
Then there's a movie coming out the following week.
It's by some up and coming director.
I think he's done one or two things.
It's called the, the odyssey.
Yeah.
Yes.
Yeah.
That could be a watch in the theater for sure.
Okay.
I heard that was a sequel though, Bill.
So I may, I may hold off.
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure.
I didn't see the first one.
I didn't see the first one.
I didn't read it in high school.
I kind of hyped for the odyssey.
Freaking out about the changes.
And the.
It doesn't come with pictures
You know how many rewrites it's had over 3,000 years
It doesn't come with pictures everything's just an adaptation
Yeah, yeah, and nobody's read it in the original like language either so my bad even pretend
Use maga trolls on the internet actually
Not be a good twink he's supposed to be her kill is it supposed to be a muscle man mean Achilles killies. Thank you
Actually, I was there right I was there. I was with Homer
You know he was I was with Homer as he wrote the Odyssey when you were walking with the dinosaurs. I know um
Okay, I'm gonna see it. it once maybe twice everybody
It's gonna make a bazillion dollars
Yeah, I love anything related to Greek mythology Greek myths Greek gods anything I'm currently
Honestly with the acting with what I've seen so far
This is actually gonna be way better than Troy
Well, I mean that bar is low to at least knock out wood. I hope so
Here's one thing I'm gonna set this here. All right, I may watch a lot of movies
I may have a letter box account, but I'm not gonna see this movie and give Christopher Nolan the fast-bender special
All right, I will give crystal in the fast-bender special
Then we know you're not picky. All right
Let's also mention that the reason this thing is gonna make a ton of money is I don't they have like a four-week
Exclusive for every I max well, I believe so. Yeah, that's what I was gonna say
There's three weeks before spiderman comes out. Yeah, no spider-man doesn't even get any I max so it's uh,
You know, apparently the world thinks that Odyssey is gonna take everything because nobody opens anything of significance for like three weeks
So spider-man brand new day is next on the agenda
Can't very excited for it can't wait. Yep. Sadie sink is Jean Gray. Yes. No. Yes
Yes, 100% are we good with that?
Yeah, yes
Alright miss Vicki's on mute, which means she's doing something else in the background. That's fine
Yeah
Let's see following our how do we feel about?
Tom Holland having like the producer role or whatever the hell he's doing in this thing
Like gotta pay the man his money. I know no, but like he's actually doing a lot of the
Producing not just caching the check. Yeah as opposed to letting Sony put the same producer from Mobius on this movie
Bars kind of low there
Jeff I think I think that Tom Holland is shown. He's got a good grasp of the character
He's not the perfect spider-man, but he's dang good
He's really good he's really good and I think he's got a good grasp on it
So he's fought for the character many times. So, you know, let's let's see
I think at least the trailer looks really good. Yeah, I'm kind of excited
You tell us from a place of love as easy like them recreating comic book covers
I feel like my one worry is that it's gonna be like nostalgia slop
It's gonna go down like that it's gonna go down the way of a multi-verse of madness where
Not much, but there's all this flashy cameos that you go. Oh, look at that. Look that
Yeah, that's the Punisher
Yeah, I don't think anybody's gonna get excited to see a scorpion
I
Bill
Once upon a time we said none of us was gonna get excited about seeing the vulture
Anyway
So the next one coming that fits into our criteria is coyote versus Acme live-action animation
John Cena I'm gonna go see this. I'm not I'm not gonna admit it. I'm not gonna put it on the internet
I'm not gonna like put like let anyone know that I saw it, but I'm gonna be there
That could be Josh's last movie before college
No, I don't think so when's it come out August 28th
Could be close
Close close
All right next movie coming out that fits into our
Areas I don't think we want to do that. I don't know if this fits practical magic, too. I want to see it
There
It's a girl movie I will see this because it was the first one who's in it
Ain't two people
Oh god
Next generation but it's fees it's featuring mazy from Game of Thrones. Yeah, Arias Stark. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah
I wouldn't say featuring but okay. No, but yeah, she's
The first movie was
1998
28 years so my only question guys. Oh, I've got a question after this needs to be made
Well, listen, there is a fandom for it. Absolutely around Halloween and the fandom is waiting for it
I've got a question and only one of you can answer it. Miss Vicki. Where did you see this movie?
Dallas nope
Where it was on our honeymoon of Maui
Oh, that's right. We got married in October
I think this will make I I have seen this I was only kidding
But I saw it like on video and I have paid attention because it was like just you know
Whatever was a decent movie, but it was a decent movie and I think it's gonna make money
And I think it has the star power to pull people in and it's the time of year is perfect Halloween
We're people are gonna go see it
If it's good people
Yeah, I actually think I did see this movie and I forgot that I saw it
They're witches Benny. Yeah, sister witches that are cursed
Bill you're gonna be seeing this it seems like it yeah, if people if people ask if people say
Who Vicki looks like they usually say Nicole Kidman?
Back in the time it was yeah, or or taili only was the other one these to say so
Wow
When I was younger no, no, I'm saying that's that's a deep cut
Everybody under 30 is going
Bad boys anybody's in bad boys. Okay next one. What are they?
What's the word that they say when when you're at a skeet shoot they say what what was the word pull pull?
This one should be like set when I say it digger. I
Want to see there. I'm there really want to see that. Yes Tom Cruise. Yes
Crazy person in the comedy. Definitely want to see that. I mean especially after I mean
They keep I saw the trailer and they kept flashing
Everything he's done from topic thunder. Yeah. Yeah
So so I watched the preview of this and I did not know what I was watching and I'm watching you still didn't know what you
I looked over to Josh. No
What?
Turned to it. I turned to him. I said is this Scientology the movie?
What it is there? I
It might be it might be I don't know it looks it's it's I'm sorry. there
Yeah, yeah, I definitely want to see it too. Yeah to two people. I know who have seen it say that he might get nominated for this
Oh, it's a it's about time. He got and does anyone know what it's about. What's the plot? What's the anything?
I the one thing I've heard Jeff is that he's like a billionaire and he caused some kind of
Catastrophe and he's trying to fix it. Yes, okay, it's a little worse than that. But yes
Yep
All right next up I
Kind of don't want to cover it, but I do the legend of Vang the last airbender movie
Oh, no, is it like action or the animated?
It is animated and it oh, I saw I already saw that when it leaked so they do yeah
It got leaked and honestly, it's really good. It's really good. I was hoping but but I'm guessing for people that are fans, right?
Yes, definitely. Yeah, it's like it's like a nice little like check it
It's like it's like eating a home cooked meal after you haven't eaten it for a while
Yeah, you'll know what that is a catch up on all the all the characters you get to see you know Zuko as an adult
Which holy mama?
Uh
He's voiced by Steven young as well so invincible as Zuko. Oh very nice invincible was awesome by the way
Um, what is it was? Yes
This season was so good Vicki watched season two with me to catch up. Uh, this season was great. This season was really good
I gotta confess on that invincible season four
I was so behind for the longest time for one reason and one reason only
Season two no season four
No, I said you're behind for one reason only and I said
That's a season two
no, I
at the same time
Uh, juju two guys in season three was finishing up and I watched the final episode of that and I and I thought to myself
If I go back to invincible, I think the cops are gonna show up for a wellness check
Like I can't experience that much of an animation downgrade
So I like it held off on watching it
Animated boys
Those I watched both of those trust me. It's it's not a downgrade. It is not the boys. Yeah animated by the way
It felt like it
Okay, all right speaking to the boys the boys season five or four
Yeah, it's done, but season five. Yeah, that was
Good as I thought you know what you ready for my a boy's story
So I'm watching the boys and I miss count or I miss think what the last episode was
And the I thought the season ended when homelander was injecting himself
I was so mad. I was gonna call benny that next day because it was like 11 o'clock at night
That was the worst final episode ever favorite comic book of all time and this
Is how we measure the comics
You're confused
The boys comics are not good
The book the the comic book the story is good, but the art is horrible. Yes. The art is terrible
that calm books
So I was so mad that I'd watched all of those and the homelander gets I was so mad so mad
I was up to like I'm I'm an early bed early browser kind of thing usually
And I was up to like too because I was just so mad. I was so
No, but but but the the ending the real ending not bad, but the the yeah the ending
Not bad. It was decent. It was decent bad good, but not bad. Yeah
I think I think it's funny because in my opinion
Uh talking about uh soldier boy
Season three shows up. He's carrying the entire season on his back and he becomes my favorite character in the show
Season five. He almost ruins the whole thing. Well, he's coming up for the new season
Which was basically his entire arc it was just I was kind of disappointed though that uh
because I kind of like gen b and uh
It disappointed to hear it got cancelled gen v was like sweep to the side
But like the whole season five the second soldier boy showed up. It was we got to get the v1 with soldier boy
God, you could see him get injected and vaat rising
You know, oh, there's this rock guy
Guy that soldier boy has kind of a connection with we'll see that later in vaat rising
Oh, the v1s with this guy bomb site can't wait to see more of him in vaat rising
Yeah
You're being subtle josh. What are you trying to say?
That the series made to make fun of superheroes and all their spin-offs did the exact spin-off. Yeah
All right, so next coming up the one that uh, benny's been waiting for
Almost as much as alex has starring eric andre and jason wamo. We have street fighter
Really really eric andre is in
Yeah, he's i think he's dan
The one thing I do have to say about that movie though
It's the first time that it's actually
Very very true to the game. I don't know if that's a good thing or a horrible thing
I think it's this it's both actually it could be horrible, but I think that's a good thing
Yeah, well, here's the thing. Okay. The one thing i'll say
Barbie and masters of the universe have established
That if you don't take yourself seriously
You can actually make a movie about are you telling me I have to go watch masters of the universe
You just compare i'm not doing it man. I'm not doing it
I'm not telling you i'm to go to the theater, but when it when you're able to watch it at home
You know, you're gonna be
Especially for guys our age
You're gonna be nostalgic
I didn't watch the show or play
And I still feel like it'd be a waste of money
Yeah, I used to watch a show when I was a kid so oh too for the win
Thunder the barbara was better, but
Wait a minute. Did you have the action figures too? Did you have skull mountain?
Did you have skull mountain?
I I think how old are you?
I'm 50 52. Yeah, see I'm
I'm the right age. I was right at the
Oh, my dude it came out came out too late for me. Yeah, I don't know
No, I
I was right at the age
I was right at the age for transformers g. Ijo and then
You know most of that stuff my dad wouldn't even get it for me because uh, he was he was kind of like
Yeah dolls are for
girls, right and
Alex would come over in the summers that explains a lot words
That explains fast pender mania. Yeah. Yeah, that can be why
All right, I'm fast pender doll. I'm gonna go see it. I'm gonna go see it and I'm gonna report back
But I would say
Right after the movie and I'm gonna either say
Thank you or screw you
I don't want to support Jared leto. All right. I'm not I'm not I'll pirate it. Okay
Many used to watch steamboat willy
What what's your
Everybody's defend Jared leto right now. Yeah. Well, I mean like no, no, no, no
No, I was just gonna tell you that Jared leto's done a lot of crap, but supposedly this
was one of the least crappy roles
Yeah, I haven't seen like no he plays skeletor. Yeah
I haven't seen him doing anything decent since since what requiem for a dream I think
Oh, it wasn't glorious. Good. Yeah. In fact, Morbius was his best. Yeah
Yeah, I
I saw Tron but I saw I saw because of the nine inch nails soundtrack
and anything
But uh, yeah
We're getting close to Halloween, which means we got to talk about why is this listed as a movie?
I thought it was a series clay face. Isn't that a series?
No, it's a movie. I thought it was a movie. I thought it was a tv show. Okay. It's a movie
All right. Yeah clay face. We're what are we thinking? Have you seen the trailer? I have seen the trailer. It looks terrible
It seems like a good halloween movie. It seems um, yeah, it's a terrible trailer
Hey
To me it seems like like it could do well like in terms of a halloween movie
But it's gonna be I mean, uh, alex when does werewolf come out?
December December. Oh, okay. Okay. Yeah
All right. So so it doesn't have that to compete with which I guess is good
It's by the way, just saw the first trailer for werewolf today. It was awesome. Yep. I saw that
It's definitely gonna be a suspend your disbelief kind of movie like, uh, like
Are you expecting some cinema at a clay face?
You shouldn't just sit down
Shut up and and have fun for a little bit
I was gonna say werewolf looks good. Are they gonna be competing? No, where will
Yeah, yeah
Doesn't look like a james gun movie. No, it's not
Okay, but he's endorsing it, right? Yeah. Yeah, he's the master. He's like
Kevin Feige
So so this is exactly what we said earlier
We said DC needs to be horror and gritty and this is this is a body horror film
Yes, so
We we should all go see it because that's what we said
I will say it. I just I'm not looking forward to it
Okay, well you kind of like the clay face from the harley quinn series more the funny one
I kind of do I'm kind of a fan too
That would actually seem more like a james gun clay face
What a fish
Yeah, even pretends to be james gun for like three episodes
All right next up, uh, I I don't know that I want to see this movie, but I want to talk about the first one so
Uh, november 6th weekend. We have Godzilla minus zero
Yes
Great
So good it's my it was so good. My god. Yeah
Couldn't get ficky to go see it. She was scared. I'm favorite movie
Yeah, I
Blown away by how good that movie was
It was crazy, man. That means that he could actually
Managed to bring
Godzilla back like in space that that was so good. Yeah, I feel like I'm a little hesitant on
Like them introducing more monster-verse aspects, you know stuff like mothra and whoever the mysterious
Monster he's fighting is because I feel like the best part of Godzilla minus one
Is that it found a way to focus on the humans?
Yep, and not entirely on Godzilla because that's where the american films fall flat
Like it is like the american Godzilla films monster-verse stuff
The humans are these cookie cutter characters. You're not supposed to care at them. You want to see Godzilla suplex a giant monkey
What is the point in Madison Square Garden?
Like what is the point where
Where it goes from like the cinema that minus one was to
wwe monsters edition
Well, when they lost track that it was an allegory for nuclear panic, I mean, that's really when are they gonna lose that track?
Because it feels like it's upcoming. So is it the same? Is it the same director and producers and all that?
Yep
So that's that's a positive. I think it's got the same actors
Yeah, I'm gonna give it a shot because it was it was freaking awesome
The first one was great vicki was so scared to see it
She wouldn't even go see it when Mia went to see it and said you need to come see it with me
And she said no like she'll say and she'll go see anything to go with the kids and she wouldn't go see it because she was scared
Terrible may have to watch it. I don't think I've watched any of them. You don't have to watch any of them. No, you're not
The only one
Not happy watching. Yeah, this has nothing to do with any of the other monster movies. Just go see it
Okay, you watch this one then you watch the one with godzuki
You'll be amazing. We'll watch them on vacation bill
There's no chance you're gonna watch that
Anyway, she's saying that for the podcast. All right, so november 20th
Uh week before Thanksgiving hunger game season of the reaping gonna watch it
Didn't like the first ones
Good
And whatever the most recent one was I didn't see that one snakes and birds
I haven't watched any of the that new
Yeah, the news, uh
The prequels basically sequence. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I haven't watched snakes and birds was really good
I was I was like dag nabbit got me back into this freaking franchise
That I had given up on because they got kind of terrible
Yeah, I saw the first three movies. Thanks to my sociology class. So now I'm like ready. And also, hey, Mitch is my goat. So, you know
Hey, Mitch is awesome. So I struggle to for this. I struggle to regulate my nervous system as it is
With today's dystopian climate that you watch 24 seven on tiktok. Yeah that I just really can't
I really just can't
You know what that's why I had to turn off the boys. I just
You know, I just I just couldn't it's so bad
She wasn't she didn't want to watch the boys and I outlawed her watching daredevil because that would have just put her right over the edge
anyway
Yeah, uh
Next up halloween weekend. Unfortunately, we are stuck with the choice of
Hext which is an animated show focker in law, which is deniro and stiller and ariana grande or a hirshie
biography
Dinner with jay-z
Yeah
Doesn't doesn't seem like the
Doesn't seem like the highest Thanksgiving we've ever had in the history of this podcast, but
Yeah
So, but we you know what we should see what's going to be on regular television because I think right around that time
we have uh
No, no, no the uh lord the rings I think might be coming out around that time
Not lord the rings, but like power the rings or rings of power or something like that. Okay. Well, it might be dropping
I I am bill you miss the important release that weekend angry birds movie the third
On the list that I have it is not there's no big comic book movie in in november. Oh just wait
Here's a here's a that's in december
Here's a short list of what I would rather do than go see the angry birds
Another angry birds movie. I've got angry birds in December. I would rather stand on my head
Shaving my ass with a cheese grater in the middle of a snow storm. Yeah, but yeah, that's what you're drinking malore. Oh, wow
malore
This is thankful
Yeah
For the new one I'm going to see hunger games twice so I don't have to see anything. Thanksgiving weekend
Have you seen the trailer for the third movie? No
It's literally like a parenthood comedy
Now the bird has teenage children. Doesn't matter next man. I have that in december get to the big movie
I have that in december five also
All right december 18th. We got to come up with a
You know a barbenheimer out of this. We got avengers dune day going straight up against dune part three
dune's day
that's gonna be
The weekend to watch a couple movies in the theater
Holy crap. Yeah
um
How do I got this?
The third book in dune sucks
I still want to see yeah, but this movie looks like it's gonna be awesome though
You know, I think the first two have been really good. I think you have to take a deep dive into the storyline
Well, stop it too is what my
Yeah, I mean, I've been I've been actually kind of
Going deeper into the lore of that and it's it's actually making the movies a little better
You know what uh, mia's response to dune one was
No, I
They just keep
Walking it's true
I'm like if you think that's bad go see the rings the first one and I hate sand it sticks to everything. Um
Um
Hey
The dune movies have been excellent. What what wins the weekend?
Avengers
It's not close. Avengers. Oh, yeah, I think I think avengers wins the weekend. I think dune is gonna be better though
I think
Avengers wins both ways and it may be
close to 2x in terms of dollars
It could be close to 2x in terms of dollars. I'll go see Zendaya do anything
And and and I think I gotta be honest. I just I have a feeling that dune is gonna be way better
It's gonna be better, but the money is gonna go to doomsday
The money's gonna go to avengers for sure. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah
I have I'm optimistic that doomsday will be better and and I'm expecting dune to be good
So I'm not saying like dune's bad. I'm sorry avengers. I'm expecting I have expectations
I have I have
Infinity war type expectations. Whoa. Wow
Bring them down. I know I should bring them down. That would be the smart thing to do but no, I'm gonna go in there very happy
All right, uh last weekend of this season
Werewolf
Versus obviously if you got werewolf on one side, you're obviously gonna go against jumanji open world
Okay
I've not seen a jumanji movie since the first one. No, they're fun. They're fun. Okay
Yeah
Guys, Robert Eggers has not made a single bad movie. All his movies have been really good. Yeah. No werewolf is
I'm psyched for that. Yeah, I'm psyched for it. What is werewolf? I haven't heard of it. It's it's like wolf man
Oh, it's just like universal monsters again. Yeah, that's sort of a better. I would say parallel
It's got erin taylor johnson is the werewolf it looks like
All right, and the one guy who doesn't need any
Uh prosthetics or makeup. Uh, william defolby in it. So
Throw a little hair on there and he's good to go
Wait, yeah
I think we missed something because I just found something coming out tomorrow. In fact
X-men 97 season two
I didn't do tv yet, but yes, and I can I'm looking forward to that very excited for it. Yeah very excited
So here's my one problem with x-men 97
Rogue sounds like she's 60
That's because she is I think she's played by like a 68. No
But she sounds like it
Yeah, I feel like that's just the thing
Yeah, that's a gripe
Especially with voice actors in the animated series like once you get one that's so iconic
I know you just can't let go of them. I know I know
So, but it pulls me out every time she talks. I don't have the love
that
You and most other people seem to have for the old x-men
Uh animated series. Well, then you're flat out wrong. I actually hated it. I thought it sucked
And I you're busy watching he man. I gotta go. I was watching
No, no, no, he man. He's the last one. No, no completely different completely he man happened in the 80s
Okay, are you ready for this bill? But uh, but I love
X-men 97 I think
Do me a favor. It's like a complete overall. No, I I tried do me a favor
I'm gonna I want I want you to watch the phoenix saga on 97. That's all just those just those four
No, good. You mean on the original. Yes
The animation so good. It was horrible. It was
You're talking he man and you're complaining about the quality of the animation. No, I'm not telling you that I
I was freaking eight years old when I was watching he man. I was a
When I was watching x-men 28
When okay bill are you ready for this you've never seen it
Lenore zan
Is the voice actor. Yeah
Originally created
Yeah rogue in the 1990s and
Revisits in x-men 97. I know it's the same person
Same person again. It's she is 60. Yeah, I know but she sounds 60 like she doesn't she's not like
voice acting to be again
What's the thing with uh with voice actors for any animated series once you have a voice that's so iconic
You're not you're just gonna do that. So you're not I don't know. She was so iconic
I would be honest with you. I love them. I love the original cartoon. Yep. I'm not like they better bring rogue's voice actress back
Jerry loanthal is like 55, but I know he's gonna be voicing spider-man for the rest of his life
But he doesn't sound it. There's a difference you can
Your voice acting you're not just your
true, yeah, um
I don't love the original cartoon, but I do love this one and I watch it. I watch it when my kid too. So yeah
Okay, watch the watch the uh, phoenix saga. That's what I'm saying
It's all I'm saying. All right. All right. Let me see. We're gonna quickly go through this
Do we want to talk about dancing with the stars? No
There is nothing on tv that looks good. What do we well while we're here, uh, how's the dragon?
Love it. Season story
Episode
You may have seen it. I don't know where we are. You're listening out there in podcast world
But right now the second episode just launched
So we were only talking about episode one and episode two of season three. Could they have spent more money on season?
Uh episode one my god
Spent money
I mean, we all know that episode one was supposed to be the finale of season two, right? Yes
Uh, but the actor strike kind of got in the way. So they kind of had to boost it here
I watched the first episode and I said this is amazing. They are back
I am excited
And that was really really good and then episode two came out
And I went I was wrong. This is the best episode of game of thrones. Yes in years
Years I am with you
This is what house of the dragon was supposed to be
dragons
and
the thrones
politics
All together, you know, I'm so with you. It's so good. It's really good because
A lot of people were worried
because of how good um
97 kingdoms I said the kingdoms. Yeah, right?
The seven kingdoms was right. They they they were worried that that it was going to steal the thunder from
From house of the dragon. So that's good. Love. It's been it's been amazing. Yep. Love them both. It's been amazing
All right. All right. So we've got two tv shows. We wanted to talk about one is lanterns. I'm very excited for that
Very excited excited for that. Very excited a little nervous, you know looks fantastic
But I could be a little nervous because it looks too good right now
And then one that I don't think you guys know about but I thought I would bring it to your attention coming out in December
I'm googling my google is open. I think there's also one that's currently out right now, but yes
I was doing stuff that's not out yet. Um
Once upon a time in Gotham
Oh, if we're talking about any of the other batman animated shows that were also recently were uh teased
Not sure is this one animated? I thought this was not this is
HBO or cw or just batman shows because good question
Uh, it is
Not listening
Not listening
I think that means it looks like it is it looks like it is live action. It is live. It is eight episodes
It is it so it's a mini series. Yeah, so that sounds more like HBO if it's eight episodes. It's not
They would be announcing that betty if they're not saying that means cw
No, but cw
Does like 20 plus episode seasons alex they don't do
Yeah, they don't do eight to 10 episodes
So let me let me amend that cw ish
Okay, so here's here's where I think that this might get so they have this character called the white rabbit
Which she it's like alex falls into the you know, whatever other people in this starring
nightwing
Red Hood
Harley Quinn
bang
black mask
Harvey Dent
The comedian the clown
Oh, Janet van doran. Oh wait, vanny could get very excited here the question
Wait like the the guy with no face. You mean? Yeah. Yeah
Oh
Sometimes a guy sometimes a girl. Yep. Isn't that the main villain of dick tracy? This is a guy. No different
No
Mad hatter cat woman and barbara gordon so far
They only have 22 That sounds awesome
I'm I'm kind of into it. I really want to sound really good. Yeah
It's well, let's put this way. It's one of those. It sounds like he's got really good potential
Yeah, I think it does
I'd watch it. Yeah, and it's uh christmas time. So it should be fun. Yeah sounds good
So this is a recent thing that I had to look up again
Uh, three animated dc shows their titles got revealed
uh
Going from like least interesting to most interesting
An animated crypto series
Kids will like it. Yeah
Joker laugh riot
Depending on I'm not sure what that's about but depending on how they approach it. It could be a kid show
Or it could be very good. The most interesting
Absolute batman animated series. That's the adult one, right? Yeah. That's that's that's that's the cool one
I've been reading the comics for that. Yeah, I mean I need it. Yeah, the absolute batman's been pretty good
I will I will get somebody very unhappy, but I will say absolute Superman is better than absolute batman. Oh, no, I love absolute
Yeah, the absolute universe is just amazing. Yeah, it but but in general I think for the most part the three core titles
Absolute Wonder Woman is really good too. Yeah, then like absolute martian manhunter sucks
Uh, you know what? I don't like absolute Wonder Woman's art
Actually, I kind of like it
I like the the beefier
Wonder Woman that's no it's the style not the
Like
You know, I mean I think we've talked about this before
Jim Lee can do no wrong. That is about as far from Jim Lee as you can get. Oh, yeah, that's that's really far from Jim Lee
You're right. So yeah
And Vicki sitting there going what are these geeks talking about?
I gotta start reading
Nerded out. No, you would you would actually like the Wonder Woman
Vicki will have a conversation without them. Did you see Devils were proud of too?
Yes, we yes, I did. It was great. Great. Great. Really good. Yeah. Good job. I loved it. I thought it was really good
Dad listen, do you see the Michael fastbender quick cameo he had in there, Alex?
No, but I thought he would have
I
Michael fastbender in every single roll
Dad listen next time we're at the outlets. I'm going
To I'm gonna find a way to gift you the absolute Batman comics because you gotta read them. Well, they're good
They are good. They're if you don't want to read them watch comics explained
Okay, you can get the summary

This night is awesome, but but watchman is way better. Yeah, all right
Blackest night is awesome though. It is but
Watchman is better. Yeah watchman is better. You've got a movie. Then you go
Watchman movie
And the HBO
I thought the live action was bad
The show is no no the show is good. The show the show is amazing. Yeah. Yeah, but it's not the book
It's not the book. book
Yeah, yeah, it's off. Yeah, it's by the way guys. I don't know if you know this but uh
I'm still waiting for the lube man project

And work myself up with oil. We'll get a slip and slide through tech. Did he decipher?
What terrible ideas we could come up with. Terrible ideas. All right, uh, let's end with
What are you most looking forward to?
There there's something currently going on as well, which does tie back to our
I guess main segment, but we kind of spent like five minutes on it
My adventures with Superman season three. Oh, that's good
I have he gotten through season two yet, but um, but but it's been pretty good. Yeah, you're right
Next thing you're gonna
The next thing you gotta watch is krypton

Uh, miss vicki you got a choice brand new day. Okay
Benny
Brand new day in odyssey
Odyssey
Yeah, odyssey's on my list too. Alex doom part three. Wow. You're all wrong
Doomsday with x-men 97 right behind it
Well, that'd be very good too. I think doomsday is gonna end up on all our lists because it's towards the end of the year
You know, but
Yeah, don't don't fear not there will be another woot for doomsday for sure and probably spider-man. I would think
Yeah, I would think spider-man's probably our next one
Well, the next movie i'm gonna see is jackass. So
So the question is do we do an odyssey or do we we play it by year? We'll see how it goes
I mean, we're all gonna see it the first weekend, right
I think we should yeah, how close together or odyssey and spider-man
Like three weeks two or three weeks in three days actually or four days
No, I think it's three weeks. Odyssey comes on the 19th, right? Let me see. I got I got the dates right here
Yeah, it's weeks and yeah, you might want to do
Do in between. Yeah, I think I think we might do it. All right. Well, we'll see
So who knows welcome back woot woot family. It's uh summertime
So we got to start popping out the movies and hopefully it'll be better than last year's movies because
So all right very well, okay, wait, we did we did most looking forward to which one's gonna be the best movie

Reminded me how awesome that movie was go see an old movie in the theaters everyone. Yep
That was my favorite movie for a very long time
Okay, you're wrong, but sure
I said favorite not best and miss vicky's laughing so loud. I can hear through my microphone and she's on mute

Star wars was already out. I know when raiders came out. I know you want to hear something sad
I didn't see star wars until 1980. That that's the problem. I know you know what?
Jaws you know it was already out. Yes. Jaws was there, but I was too little when Jaws came out
So here's here's the thing. Okay. My parents took me to the movies the week that star wars came out
You know what we went to go see

About this episode
The Garage Heroes in Training crew takes a detour from their usual automotive talk to dive deep into a summer movie preview. The team debates the merits of the new Supergirl film, with resident comic book enthusiast Alex sharing his disappointment despite his love for the source material. From analyzing director Craig Gillespie's transition to big-budget films to comparing James Gunn's DC universe with past failures, the crew offers a lively, unfiltered discussion. They also share hilarious tangents about their ultimate movie theater snacks, from Slurpee addictions to Cheeto-flavored popcorn.
With the recent releases starting to really kick off the summer movie season, we decided to give our thoughts of the upcoming movie and TV schedule for the remainder of 2026. Did we stay on subject. Nope.
