Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Boy Meets World, Rivalry is back, Brave New World
was gonna do something? Does that count? Not the drag?
But will Sag make us Zager Oscar swag? We'll ask
tarrenreg you don't like Dared double season one, maybe you'll
like the second one. Not My Batman, White Chicks two.
(00:21):
It's time all of that and so much more coming
up on news dump, he asked Mac.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
But first you see this, do you hear about this
over in the news. According to Bloomberg, Hooters will be
filing for bankruptcy, A.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Sad time in the history of American restaurants, American businesses.
Hooters has been a staple of I guess our lifetime.
As long as we've been alive, Hooters has been around,
have been something that has been joked about. So I
don't know I've been to a hooteros in God, I
think it's been probably eight years since I've been to
a Hooters.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
I was gonna say, I've never been in the Hooters.
And my knowledge of Hooters is all Adam Sandler movies
pretty much.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Yeah, every Adam Sandler movie works shoehorns in a Hooters scene.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
It's an American staple. It's something that I've had coworkers
tell me that, you know that they keep a collection
of all the Hooters that they've been to.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
But you, of course have never been.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
I've never been to a Hooters. No, I've read there's
one on Root One. I had never been there. I
guess there just wasn't one that was close enough to
us in Watertown that I could just stop in and
have a nice wing.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
And how many times have you been to Kylun? Oh,
Kyle Lun countless times. And it's not right across the
way from Hooters.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
You're going to cross fucking Root One. I'm gonna die.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
So just to recap Kyle luon close enough, Hooters too far.
News demp.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Over the box office Brave New World one for a
second straight weekend, but it is down from its first
weekend a large percentage. It made twenty eight points two million.
The Monkey opened up this past weekend at fourteen and
a half million dollars eighty percent on Roddy teas from
the critics, sixty one from the audience and a sixty
two on Meta. Paddington in Peru six and a half
(02:14):
million dollars, dog Man almost six and nie Za two
four and a half million this weekend.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Yeah, the monkey kind of tricked us at first. Those
early Rotten Tomatoes reviews are real good dual eighty fives,
and the audience score has dropped drastically. It seems like
it might be worth watching if you're into that. The
director Osgood Perkins is the director from Long Legs from
last year, so if you liked Long Legs, you'll probably
like this one. I still actually haven't seen Long Legs,
so I have no opinion on this matter.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
News Down, speaking of Captain America, Brave New World, director
Julius Own confirmed that the post credit scene is teasing
the Illuminati, so thank you for letting us know. And
he also said that the group was going to appear
in an early draft of the film, So once again,
(03:05):
thank you for telling us. Thank you, not for showing us,
not for having it in the movie, thanks for telling us.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
This is interesting because I wonder what version of the
movie would the Illuminati even have been necessary or worth
being brought in. I know we're dealing with tam Mutt
and Adamantium and that sort of celestial level type of stuff.
It doesn't really necessitate the Illuminati popping in second to that,
(03:33):
I did not pick up. I did not get that
the post credit was alluding to the Illuminati. I thought
it was alluding to incursions and how these worlds were
going to be colliding into each other, which maybe does
include the Illuminati, and maybe the Illuminati stopping that as
we see in the post credit of The Last Strange Movie.
But yeah, this just misses the mark as the movie
(03:53):
kind of did.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
I think it would be funny if, like they brought
the script to five Gee with the Illuminati in the
like the first and he has reads and goes, there's
just too much shit in this guys, we can't have
everything in this movie. Did we still need to have this?
Semi be a Captain America movie?
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Right? Right? That's why I'm trying to figure out, like
what was the endgame of the Illuminati version of this movie?
No idea. I don't understand it, so that maybe it
was really early on, maybe it was just talked about,
who knows. But once again I did not pick up
in that post credit that they were talking about the.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Illuminatis mac What happened over at the SAG Awards, Yes,
the SAG Awards this past weekend Kristen Bell hosted.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
I think she's hosted the last couple of years. I
might be wrong about that. She did a rendition of
do You Want to Build a Snowman? Except it was
do you want to be an actor? With some really
good picture as visual as lyric changes. So if you're
interested in that, go check it out. Pretty good. Goo
the awards from the show. Conclave wins Best Motion Picture
(04:55):
Cast Best Ensemble. Six of the last ten winners of
that award have gone on to one win Best Picture
of the Oscars, including Oppenheimer last year. Goo, you have
your hand r Yes.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
On the other four was it one movie that just
didn't Actually that doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Never mind, fuck it, We're gonna happ whatever.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
I strike it from the record, never happened.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Demi Moore wins Best Actress for the Substance. Seven of
the last ten Best Actress winners have gone on to
win the OSCAR. Timothy shut Out wins Best Actor for
a Complete Unknown, A little bit of an upset last
night or a couple of nights ago. Uh goop, this
is an odd note, at least for me. He becomes
the youngest winner ever for SAG Best Actor at twenty nine.
(05:37):
It's not like he's like eighteen or twenty one. It's
twenty ninety. It's a fucking it's nearly thirty years old.
I don't know how that has happened. Eight of the
last ten winners of the SAG Best Actor Award went
on to win the Oscar. So if you're looking for
some juice for the Oscars this upcoming weekend, that might
be a good bet for you Best Supporting Actress an actor,
(05:58):
or even more predictive, last nine out of ten Best
act Supporting Actress winners have won the Oscar. Zoe Saldana's
got that locked up, and ten out of ten of
the last last ten Best Supporting Actor winners at the
SAG Awards have won the Oscar. So Kiaren Culkin will
have that locked up. Television Why Showgun won a bunch
of shit once again, and Calin Ferrell won for the Penguin.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
I'm disappointed that Kristin Miliatti lost, but once again Murderer's
row of fucking contenders there.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Also, so I was trying to look up who the
previous younger Best Male? Did you have that information or no?
Speaker 1 (06:35):
No, no, I did not. I was just too stunned
to even think that that was a fun fact.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
I feel like it might be Adrian Brody from when
he won.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
I don't know, it's it's just bizarre like and I
know SAG is more like.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
You.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
No, like, twenty nine is not young. That's I was
shocked by that guy. I wish I was twenty nine again. Same.
You can be both news damp Mac.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
With the SAG Awards, it usually, like you just said,
it predicts the Oscars. So I will now ask you
for what is happening with the odds over at DraftKings
Sports Book.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
So heading into this weekend, Goo, your favor for Best
Picture is a nour at minus two hundred, despite the
fact that it lost Best Ensemble. So that's a real
tight race there. Conclave is plus two twenty five, some
pretty good juice there if you're looking for a nice
bet right there. The Brutalist is not out of it
at plus six hundred, but it does seem like it's
(07:33):
down to Anora in Conclave Best Actor minus two thirty
for Adrian Brody. I hate that value. The fact that
Chalome just won and he's plus one fifty. If you're
looking to put in a bet, you haven't put anything in.
I would put a bet in on Shalomera.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
And Shalome has brought this entire time being like I
want to be the best. I want to win this award.
I'm gonna push for this award. He's this campaign like
I didn't even really love the movie.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
I didn't. I thought he was good in it.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
I thought he was better in Doune too, But the
campaign that he has put on here, I have bet
money on him.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
I have a bet for him a few months ago,
and I'm happy to still have it. Good Best Actress
to me, Moore is at minus two fifty up against
Mikey Madison at plus one sixty five. As much as
I think Madison deserves it more, I feel like Moore's
got this on lock, even at minus two fifty, which
is like for like, I almost feel like if you,
if you, if you got enough money enough, shekels throw
(08:28):
it onto me more. I don't think Mikey Madison is
going to win this, uh, Like I said, Culkin and
Saldania have those supporting awards locked up. Dune Part two
is a lock for visual effects cinematography. The brutalist is
the favorite right now minus three forty. But Nosatu and
Dune aren't dead Nosaratu plus three fifty, Dune plus five fifty.
Another sneaky bet there, I like, is doing it five
(08:50):
point fifty for that?
Speaker 2 (08:51):
You mean when I took it at two fifty, I
was a fucking idiot.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Production in the production design is likely going in a
wicket at minus four hundred, but no, Seratu is not
dead there at plus five hundred. Wicked has costume design
locked up, Substance has makeup and hairstyling locked up, and
then Gou. The final race, it's sort of up in
the air is film editing. It's a two horse race
between Conclave and Anora. Anora at minus are Anora at
(09:17):
plus one fifty, Conclave at minus one forty. So if
you're looking for anything the bet, I think the best
bet heading into this weekend is Shallame at plus one
fifty to win Best Actor. And that's great because Gou
I have Shalome at best for Best Actor at plus
one forty from like three months ago, right before the
award cycle, so I still like my value there. I
(09:38):
also bet Mikey Madison for Best Actress at minus one sixty,
so bad value, number one, number two. I don't think
it's gonna hit. I also had wagers on Wicked for
best Picture, in Grande for best supporting. Those are both dead,
those are both both far and away, not gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
And right now my dumb bets are I had Best
Picture a complete unknown at plus fourteen hundred because every
publication was saying it's no the favorite and like the
value is too good. I can't let this go. I
got a bet on it. I need to do it.
I've made worse bets. Apparently I haven't best in amatography.
I thought that maybe the whole AI thing might throw
(10:13):
off the brutalist, but Dune has actually gone further down.
I got it at plus two to fifty. I can
throw that money away. And then I did take Best
Actor Timmy Shall's at plus one fifty because of the campaign.
But Mac, if I'm going to ask you right now,
is there anything here that we have not bet on
that I should take a look at.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
No, I honestly think your best bet is maybe even
doubling down on shallow may. I've made worse bets depending
on your bank roll, maybe getting a hefty wager on
to me an infinite bank roll. I don't mind your
I mean, it's bad value where you have it. Plus
two to fifty for Dune best cinematography plus five fifty
(10:53):
is pretty good. I might toss a shekel on that
its dope.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Over the weekend, there was a rumor that an X
Men television series was in the works. But what are
you waving your finger for, mister Matombo.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
That's a fingerwag for no television series.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Oh, I tell you're telling me no, I was wrong,
like you had no special information.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
But combo in the television series.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Marvel exec Brad Winderbaum says that they are now actively
developing their first X Men movie. This is the focus
of the X Men currently.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Yeah, we sort of touched on this last week of
the week before. Marvel wants to slowly drop in some
of the X Men so that when they get to
the X Men movie, they don't need nine, you know,
origin stories. They probably only need like four or five.
And I still think that's gonna be their goal. Here.
News dep.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Dan Never Born Again Season two will release in twenty
twenty six.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
And the showrunner or whoever, don't I don't know exactly
who said it, but someone's on record of saying hopefully
season three and twenty seven and then season Infinity after that,
they're hoping to do a season every year for Infinity year.
I would say, don't get too big for your breeches.
Let's make sure it all makes sense in the context
of the MCU. I know this is sort of adjacent
(12:07):
on a side, but let's let's just focus on our
next season or so.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Charlie Cox, who plays Darre Devil, who plays Matt Murdoch,
said that he would rather see Daredevil join the Avengers
than a return to the Defenders in the MCU.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
I agree, but he's also gonna be need to like
he's so low level like Avengers wise, like he's gonna
have to be someone's sidekick, you know, or he's gonna
have to he can't fly the plane, he's blind. Why
the way, Black Widow, you can get a feel for it.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
But also why would he be like, Yeah, I want
to join those fucking low level scum. No, No, I
want to be with the big boys. I want to
be I agree, I want to be in the billion
dollar movies, not another Netflix style of the show.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
That's what he is, you know, he's not quite major
League ready, but he's too good for trip Away. It
just is what it is.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
I take him off the end of the bench. He's
a nice little brock Holt.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Keep them teamed up with Spider Man.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
I think that's about yeah. News Depe Marvel says that
there are plans for Moonnight to return to the MCU.
This is from at comic book. Lightly not in a
Moonnight season two.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Though I didn't mind Moonlight season one, I don't know.
I don't love the character. I don't hate the character.
I guess i'd have to see how how he would
fit in with other characters, because there's such a bizarre
and unique characters. So that's a that's a I don't know.
I have no optimism for it, but I'm not mad
about it.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
News Depe hey Mon's Juicy six back.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Jesus six.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Aman Vellani revealed her favorite MCU.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Films she plays Miss Marvel. Miss Marvel.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
She said, iron Man, Avengers, Thor Ragnarok, Avengers, End Game,
Guardians of the Galaxy, and Captain America the Winter Soldier
great picks.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
I think except for Avengers, those are actually Avengers and
iron Man. I mean sorry, except for iron Man. I
think those are all my top twelve. Avengers might be
like twelve on my list or tenth surprise, no Infinity
War in there. I don't I don't know how that
didn't quite make the cut.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
That's three of my top four or five of my
top six. Like that, These are all great movies.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
She's got she's got three of my top six. So
we got a good amount there. And once again, you know,
the top what fifteen or eighteen of the MCU is
so good that you're gonna have people with different top sixes,
So it's it's a good list.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Let me do a quick alie real, you know, very fast.
Here Paul Rudd revealed of it was that pop shoving
pop shove it.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Paul Rudd revealed his favorite MCU films. He said, thor
Ragnarok and Captain America Winter Soldier.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Yeah. I think the three if you're talking less than
Avengers level and movies that are the most unique within
the MCU, it's Ragnarok, Winter Soholdier and Guardians. Those are
the three that I'm like, Yeah, if someone says this
is their favorite, totally makes to me because it's a
lot of what makes the MCU the best but it's
also so different from everything else we've seen.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
I also think with these two movies, like if you
are recommending one MCU movie to someone that has seen
no MCU movies, these would be two of like the
four that I would say, like this Guardians and then
maybe like something that needs no introduction to other stuff.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Ant Man, I think is a good like introductory one too.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Yeah, that's not bad, but Paul Rudd probably can't say
that I like ant Man, ant Man two, ant Man three?
What are their Avengers movies? Are my inn civil War?
Speaker 1 (15:35):
He should have said the three ant Man movies. And
Mac and Me.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
He should have just said Mac and Me. If Conan
doesn't do a Mac and Me joke, this weekend at
the Oscars is touch.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
He's lost. As touch.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
News depe DC Studios co heads James Gunn and Peter
Saffron have confirmed that Robert Pattinson's Cape Crusader is not
the dc US Batman, saying we love him, but we've
got to introduce a batman into the DC you.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
This is via Collider Best News of the Week. Gu
keep it separate, keep it its own thing, and potentially
give us two great versions of the character. I think
this is a win win for everyone.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Oh, I finally have dug myself into Harley Quinn season five,
even though our ex friend Nick Fryer didn't even tell
me that the season started.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Our podcast rival, Nick fry fuck TLDR.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Those guys suck. But I'm on episode five of Harley Quinn.
You can watch it on Max and I've liked this season.
Harley and Poison Ivy move to Metropolis, so now it's
more Superman jokes. But I'm on episode five and I'm
finally getting some good hardy laughs.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
In all right, how many episodes of the season eight?
Speaker 2 (16:50):
It's usually ten. I didn't even look. I figure out
a way. I'm gonna watch this. Then I'm gonna watch
your friendly neighborhood spider Man. Then I'm gonna watch.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
And or you gotta start in.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
I've seen three episodes. I'd probably have to restart it.
I haven't watched it in a couple of years. But
we actually just got a trailer for that today and
I forgot to watch it.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Oh shit, and or season two? And or season two?
You haven't watched and or season one? How would you
want to talk about and or Season two?
Speaker 2 (17:13):
It's coming out in April. Okay, I'm gonna watch it.
Everyone stop messaging me and stop calling me dickhead.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
The only way I'm gonna watch it is if you
watch season one, tell me it's that great, and then
like get into season two and you're like, all right,
we're going to talk. Okay.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Maybe so I'll finish Harley Quinn season five. Then maybe
i'll do and Or first then Spider Man, so I
can let you know what's going on.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Yeah, but that might be months from now.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
That's a good point because I still need to watch
that boring show White Lotus. I'm one episode into season.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
To watch White Lotus. Me and my wife watch it.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
My life watching Severn. Oh, we did take it up.
We don't even have Severance on here. What a horny
episode of Severance, right.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Hoarniest episode of legit television in a long time. I
was cheering left and right. What a time to be
like fucking Mark s Looney, fucking savage Dylan.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
G It is an hour of fucking and talking about sex,
that's all.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
It is great and a great yet still a fantastic
episode of television. Like, aside from the sex, there's.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
James Watkins is set to direct Clayface and also it
has been confirmed that it is in the actual DC universe,
not a part of Battinson's universe. This is via the
Hollywood Reporter, and he has previously directed Speak No Evil,
Eat In Lake and the take those rhyme.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
I'm hoping for the best for this one, Goop.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
I love the character, and then I'm always reminded while
watching Harley Quinn of how goofy they made the character
on that show, and I'm like, let's let's bring him back.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
They also they introduced the character in Creature Commando. Oh,
so we have got our introduction already. So if you're
if you you should watch Creature Commandos.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Should I put that before and or after a Door
or after Spider Man.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
I'm making you should just watch them all. Don't watch
any of them in a row, just keep jumping around
to each.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
I'm making my cue right now. And I actually thought
about that earlier, when like, what if I watch like
one show of this on Mondays something on Tuesdays something,
and like make it a whole weekly thing. I like
that for you give me something to look forward to
in my amazing life.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Your mundane existence. Come on, man, I'm right here, news dope.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Jason Momoa will reportedly return as Duncan Idaho in Dune three.
This is via the Inn Schneider.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
The in Snyder like as in The Insider, I don't
know the rules to anything in the universe, so sure,
why not?
Speaker 2 (19:44):
I don't know the rules to life or death even
in real life. I'm with my job in that way.
He wasn't in Dune too, right, No, he died in
Dune one.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Yeah, so I don't.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
I don't know to be a forced ghost. They have
those in Dune, right, I'm sure, news dope. James Cameron
said that Avatar, Fire and Ash starts with a title
card and says no generative AI was used in the
making of this movie.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
This is just problematic to me, gu in the sense that,
first of all, people think that they have to put
this around their movies. I don't fucking care. But number two,
the fact that you have to specify that it's generative
AI means that you have used AI, some kind of AI, right,
generative AI, So then you're almost digging your own grave there.
So just don't even acknowledge it all.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
My question though, did James Cameron did he invent Ai.
He may have him and al Gore Terminator two.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Am I right?
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Yeah, Skynet it's fallen on us.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
He also said the feedback that they've gotten on that
movie is it's definitely the most emotional and maybe the
best of the three so far. I tried to think
back to the first two movies, though, Was there anything
emotional in those movies?
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Did you seen the second one yet? I, unfortunately have
seen the second one? Uh, and unfortunately I didn't hate it.
I didn't hate ito.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Did someone die in the second one?
Speaker 1 (21:08):
I think one of the young kids dies? Maybe?
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Oh the brother?
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Right? Are we spoiling the movie? He got like one.
He's got like three kids now in the second.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
One, and one of them gets could put I think,
But I might be wrong.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
I really forget most It might have just been injured.
I don't know. There's whales in that movie. There is
there is.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
That's what I remembered for as I was forced to
wear three D glasses and there were whales.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Did you wear three D glasses?
Speaker 2 (21:34):
I had to it was a three D movie. I
might I'm not gonna sit there. Ah News Depth Marlon
Wayne said on Good Morning America that it is time
for a White Chicks too.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Nope, sure is it never will be never again? Will that?
Will that make sense? Didn't make sense? Then it just
happened to work.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
I can only count on my hand so many times
the amount of times that I have come home from
work or doing something and my wife is on the
couch watching White Chicks.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
I just don't know how you can conceivably make them
white Chicks too and make it even remotely as good.
And that's the first One's not even good, remotely as
like relevant as the first one became. You know, it's
just don't just leave it alone.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
I mean, they really fell off with Little Man when
they made Marlon Wayans the Baby.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
You know what they should do. It's just jump races.
Do like Spanish Chicks. It's the sequel to White Chicks.
They're like undercover in all sorts of different scenarios. I
don't think you're allowed to do that. Well, maybe not,
I don't know. News depe.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Finally, Leonardo DiCaprio was reportedly in talks to play Evil
Knievel in a biopic. This is via Puck News. I
thought maybe that was a hockey website or a Midsummer's
Night Dream Newsletter I didn't know, directed by Damian Chazelle,
who to me it is a mintimber to Night's Dream
newsletter and it focuses on his famous Snake River jump.
(23:06):
Filming begins this summer.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Sure whatever. I couldn't care less about this until I
see the trailer of Leo and then I'm gonna be
probably be.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
So yeah, you're gonna be so into this movie? What
are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Right now? I could care less about it. I hate this.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Movie, and then you see it you're like, oh my god,
I don't.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Know, but like, what's the name of the movie First
Man with him and Gosling? It wasn't that good?
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Was Leo in that movie? Leo wasn't in that movie?
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Was he? No? Damian Chazelle, Oh, Damien Chazelle.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
No, I don't like Damian Chazelle. Damien Chazelle. Is wasn't
he La La Land?
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Yeah? Is this going to be a musical? But then
he also did Whiplash too, didn't he? Oh? He did
in that movie? Is great? Yeah? Evil?
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Canievel at rhyme so you can sing it anywhere?
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Sure? Sure?
Speaker 2 (23:47):
News dope over at one of our sister. iHeart podcasts
about the same popularity as what we have over here
on Pod Meets World. They finally after hunt undreds of episodes,
I assume had maitland Ward on the show as they
are now diving into season six of Boy Meets World.
(24:08):
Pod Meets World is a podcast Danielle Fischer, Will Ferdell
and Hunter Hunter. It's a Sean Hunter, Ryder Strong.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Yeah. So they've been doing a rewatch series with three
of the four stars of that show. I've never really
got into it, but I know you kind of pick
it up and put it down.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
To I've listened to a good amount of the episodes.
I'll see who the guest is. I listened to a
decent amount of their seasons two through four. Those are
my favorite Boy Meets World seasons, although now getting into
the college years, I did like the goofiness of the
college years, so we'll see.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Yeah. And so in those college years, they introduce a
character named Rachel who is living with Jack and Eric. Yes, yeah,
and I love Triangle. She is played by the actress
maitland Ward, who's this tall, redheaded woman. If you've been
listening to this podcast for long enough, you know that
goo and I have been all over maitland Wards. I
(25:03):
guess dessent into the pornographic universe probably ten twelve years ago.
I don't know what year it was that she started,
but it was news and it might have been right
around when we were kind of starting this podcast.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Too much loud kissing for my liking.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
She's also big in like the cosplay world, but only
because she shows a lot of skin and that sort
of goes hand in hand in the cosplay world. So
essentially the premise of this is, and this is unbeknownst
to me, I didn't really know that Danielle Fischell aka
Tapanga and maitland Ward didn't really get along for the
last fifteen or so years. So the background story to
(25:41):
this is that those two don't really get along, and
Danielle is sort of the lead the point for that podcast.
She's sort of the one running things there.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
She does the episode recap and then she asked for
opinion from writer and will.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Yeah, And so they have not brought maitland on until
now now that they're in season six, which is sort
of how they've been doing thing for the whole run
of the podcast with a couple, you know, a couple
of exceptions, And I guess Maitland Warren who has been
like mad about that the whole time they've been doing
this podcast. And I guess she's been mad for a
(26:19):
decade plus because she sent to Panga a Facebook DM
over a decade ago that Topega never responded to. And
so what I'm getting from this is that Maitland Ward,
as successful she might have might have been, have been
and is in the pornographic world, she's like a little
(26:39):
bitter that she's not able to like do more I guess,
for lack of a better term, goo legitimate things like this,
And so it seems like she's pretty legit. It seems
like she's like upset with them for like not making
her a mainstay and this thing and like not including
her more boy mate's world things. And to that, I say,
(27:00):
no one gives a fuck about Rachel. The most interesting
thing about Rachel is the actress that plays her became
a porn star. That's like, that's the most interesting thing
about her. And so I don't like she just comes
off as like jaded. She starts throwing shots. It gets personal,
and it also seems pretty clear that Maitland Warren has
never really listened to the podcast, and she's like, well,
(27:21):
you guys are negative all the time, and they're like, no,
not really, no we're not. And so basically it just
became tapanga verse Rachel for fifteen minutes with the other
two kind of chiming in here and there go my
major notes here. Yeah. From from the back and forth,
Maitland Ward in a DM or a text to Danielle Fischel,
(27:41):
said they she wanted to hold off this convo about
their you know, their relationship until the podcast episode to
quote unquote rock the stats. Now that's so bad. It's good.
I love that. We gotta we gotta hold off stuff
to rock the stats. Secondly, those two arguing about Facebook
and messaging and unfriending people, they sounded so.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Old, so incredibly old, and they are, let's be fair,
and so aren't we Now we're pretty old.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
They're probably going to decade on us. I'm guessing, yeah,
I think. I think.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Maitland at one point said she was forty seven.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Okay, yeah, so almost exactly ten years older than us.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
I would say that if you want to listen to
this audio, skip the first hour. And then it seemed
like out of nowhere. Danielle Fischell threw out the little
comments of like, it's kind of funny how whenever there
is a controversy with our show, TMZ just finds you.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Yeah, so that is the thing that kicks off the
whole fifteen or twenty minutes of bickering. It must have
been something she had been wanting to ask the whole podcast.
And it is a good point, you know, whenever there's
something about boymate's world, somehow maitland Ward ends up on TMZ.
So clearly she's like calling in the TMZ or hitting
up whoever her contact is there. And Danielle Fischill is like,
(28:51):
why is it that anytime something comes up they talk
to you? And so that's a good point. Good to
Pegas forty three. Oh nice, And her birthday is a
week before. We're both tauruses, so that's real nice for us.
And of course famously I took a photo with her
about eight years ago, seven years ago, what was that?
Twenty eighteen.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
She also said that the entire podcast is just a
show to bash Ben Savage and Michael Jacobs, which the
show does take shots at.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Michael J.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Jacobs is the showrunner yes, the show runner from Boy
Meets World, and she's you know, and maitland Ward goes,
this show made you famous. You guys shouldn't be able
to say anything about it.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Well no, so she's like, you guys should be bashing
it as much as you are. And first of all,
like the number one, we're like, we're not Matt pashing it,
We're just talking about experiences. And number two like, clearly
she's not listening to the podcast if that's the only
thing she has to say. And I also love that,
like Tepango wouldn't let off the hook. She's like, no, really,
like what are the bad things we've said? What have
we said that's bad?
Speaker 2 (29:47):
I've never heard them say, well, you.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Guys know, and they're like, no, we don't. We just
talk about our experiences and talk about how Ben doesn't
text us back. Now. I think the overarching thing here
that is super weird is that Ben Savage communicates with
none of these people.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
He wants nothing to do with him. It seems like
he's a politician now though, is he? I think he's
something in California. He either ran for Congress or he won,
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
So he hopped back in on Girlmates World with Danielle
Fischell in twenty thirteen, and that ran for like three
scenes or whatever. You and I met this whole cast
minus maitland Ward at fan.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
X possibly a living William Daniels.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
It was twenty eighteen or twenty nineteen, and he and
Ben Savage was there, but notably he was surely the
one the least interested out of this whole thing. And
I don't blame him. I guess if she like, he's
only had success as Corey Matthews and he got I
guess sort of type casted in that. Or maybe he's
just not a good actor. I don't know, but it
(30:48):
seems like he's purposefully separated him himself from these people,
and that's fine. They've sort of dealt with it. They
should be able to talk about it, though, you know,
they're not putting him down. They could just talk about
how Ben's like, yeah, I don't really care all.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Fordll has said on the podcast that the only reason
why the show went more than one season is because
of Ben Savage. Ben Savage was like, he was like
a young stand up comedian when he was on the show,
just ripping jokes and I.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Know maybe maybe a lot of artists doesn't care about this,
But if you were a little white boy in the
right here working class in the nineties, boy Mee's World
was right up your alley and it's good and I
so we grew up on this show. U. So maybe
you didn't care about any of the last ten minutes
of what we just talked about, but it's relevant to
(31:32):
GOO and I.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Also, if you want to listen to it once again,
jump an hour into the Pod meets World podcast and
then listen to like twenty minutes. You don't need to
listen to the first hour.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
I jumped in at like one tenant. Yeah, it was
just after she had asked her about the team's he'sa stuff,
So jump in at like one o eight or one
oh nine.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Although I do like will for Dell asking her about
the process of getting into a scene for porn
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Which is like, there are certainly people that are tuning
into that episode interested in that sort of stuff, no doubt,
there's doubt
The Boy Meets World, Rivalry is back, Brave New World
was gonna do something? Does that count? Not the drag?
But will Sag make us Zager Oscar swag? We'll ask
tarrenreg you don't like Dared double season one, maybe you'll
like the second one. Not My Batman, White Chicks two.
(00:21):
It's time all of that and so much more coming
up on news dump, he asked Mac.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
But first you see this, do you hear about this
over in the news. According to Bloomberg, Hooters will be
filing for bankruptcy, A.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Sad time in the history of American restaurants, American businesses.
Hooters has been a staple of I guess our lifetime.
As long as we've been alive, Hooters has been around,
have been something that has been joked about. So I
don't know I've been to a hooteros in God, I
think it's been probably eight years since I've been to
a Hooters.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
I was gonna say, I've never been in the Hooters.
And my knowledge of Hooters is all Adam Sandler movies
pretty much.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Yeah, every Adam Sandler movie works shoehorns in a Hooters scene.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
It's an American staple. It's something that I've had coworkers
tell me that, you know that they keep a collection
of all the Hooters that they've been to.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
But you, of course have never been.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
I've never been to a Hooters. No, I've read there's
one on Root One. I had never been there. I
guess there just wasn't one that was close enough to
us in Watertown that I could just stop in and
have a nice wing.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
And how many times have you been to Kylun? Oh,
Kyle Lun countless times. And it's not right across the
way from Hooters.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
You're going to cross fucking Root One. I'm gonna die.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
So just to recap Kyle luon close enough, Hooters too far.
News demp.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Over the box office Brave New World one for a
second straight weekend, but it is down from its first
weekend a large percentage. It made twenty eight points two million.
The Monkey opened up this past weekend at fourteen and
a half million dollars eighty percent on Roddy teas from
the critics, sixty one from the audience and a sixty
two on Meta. Paddington in Peru six and a half
(02:14):
million dollars, dog Man almost six and nie Za two
four and a half million this weekend.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Yeah, the monkey kind of tricked us at first. Those
early Rotten Tomatoes reviews are real good dual eighty fives,
and the audience score has dropped drastically. It seems like
it might be worth watching if you're into that. The
director Osgood Perkins is the director from Long Legs from
last year, so if you liked Long Legs, you'll probably
like this one. I still actually haven't seen Long Legs,
so I have no opinion on this matter.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
News Down, speaking of Captain America, Brave New World, director
Julius Own confirmed that the post credit scene is teasing
the Illuminati, so thank you for letting us know. And
he also said that the group was going to appear
in an early draft of the film, So once again,
(03:05):
thank you for telling us. Thank you, not for showing us,
not for having it in the movie, thanks for telling us.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
This is interesting because I wonder what version of the
movie would the Illuminati even have been necessary or worth
being brought in. I know we're dealing with tam Mutt
and Adamantium and that sort of celestial level type of stuff.
It doesn't really necessitate the Illuminati popping in second to that,
(03:33):
I did not pick up. I did not get that
the post credit was alluding to the Illuminati. I thought
it was alluding to incursions and how these worlds were
going to be colliding into each other, which maybe does
include the Illuminati, and maybe the Illuminati stopping that as
we see in the post credit of The Last Strange Movie.
But yeah, this just misses the mark as the movie
(03:53):
kind of did.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
I think it would be funny if, like they brought
the script to five Gee with the Illuminati in the
like the first and he has reads and goes, there's
just too much shit in this guys, we can't have
everything in this movie. Did we still need to have this?
Semi be a Captain America movie?
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Right? Right? That's why I'm trying to figure out, like
what was the endgame of the Illuminati version of this movie?
No idea. I don't understand it, so that maybe it
was really early on, maybe it was just talked about,
who knows. But once again I did not pick up
in that post credit that they were talking about the.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Illuminatis mac What happened over at the SAG Awards, Yes,
the SAG Awards this past weekend Kristen Bell hosted.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
I think she's hosted the last couple of years. I
might be wrong about that. She did a rendition of
do You Want to Build a Snowman? Except it was
do you want to be an actor? With some really
good picture as visual as lyric changes. So if you're
interested in that, go check it out. Pretty good. Goo
the awards from the show. Conclave wins Best Motion Picture
(04:55):
Cast Best Ensemble. Six of the last ten winners of
that award have gone on to one win Best Picture
of the Oscars, including Oppenheimer last year. Goo, you have
your hand r Yes.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
On the other four was it one movie that just
didn't Actually that doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Never mind, fuck it, We're gonna happ whatever.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
I strike it from the record, never happened.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Demi Moore wins Best Actress for the Substance. Seven of
the last ten Best Actress winners have gone on to
win the OSCAR. Timothy shut Out wins Best Actor for
a Complete Unknown, A little bit of an upset last
night or a couple of nights ago. Uh goop, this
is an odd note, at least for me. He becomes
the youngest winner ever for SAG Best Actor at twenty nine.
(05:37):
It's not like he's like eighteen or twenty one. It's
twenty ninety. It's a fucking it's nearly thirty years old.
I don't know how that has happened. Eight of the
last ten winners of the SAG Best Actor Award went
on to win the Oscar. So if you're looking for
some juice for the Oscars this upcoming weekend, that might
be a good bet for you Best Supporting Actress an actor,
(05:58):
or even more predictive, last nine out of ten Best
act Supporting Actress winners have won the Oscar. Zoe Saldana's
got that locked up, and ten out of ten of
the last last ten Best Supporting Actor winners at the
SAG Awards have won the Oscar. So Kiaren Culkin will
have that locked up. Television Why Showgun won a bunch
of shit once again, and Calin Ferrell won for the Penguin.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
I'm disappointed that Kristin Miliatti lost, but once again Murderer's
row of fucking contenders there.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Also, so I was trying to look up who the
previous younger Best Male? Did you have that information or no?
Speaker 1 (06:35):
No, no, I did not. I was just too stunned
to even think that that was a fun fact.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
I feel like it might be Adrian Brody from when
he won.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
I don't know, it's it's just bizarre like and I
know SAG is more like.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
You.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
No, like, twenty nine is not young. That's I was
shocked by that guy. I wish I was twenty nine again. Same.
You can be both news damp Mac.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
With the SAG Awards, it usually, like you just said,
it predicts the Oscars. So I will now ask you
for what is happening with the odds over at DraftKings
Sports Book.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
So heading into this weekend, Goo, your favor for Best
Picture is a nour at minus two hundred, despite the
fact that it lost Best Ensemble. So that's a real
tight race there. Conclave is plus two twenty five, some
pretty good juice there if you're looking for a nice
bet right there. The Brutalist is not out of it
at plus six hundred, but it does seem like it's
(07:33):
down to Anora in Conclave Best Actor minus two thirty
for Adrian Brody. I hate that value. The fact that
Chalome just won and he's plus one fifty. If you're
looking to put in a bet, you haven't put anything in.
I would put a bet in on Shalomera.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
And Shalome has brought this entire time being like I
want to be the best. I want to win this award.
I'm gonna push for this award. He's this campaign like
I didn't even really love the movie.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
I didn't. I thought he was good in it.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
I thought he was better in Doune too, But the
campaign that he has put on here, I have bet
money on him.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
I have a bet for him a few months ago,
and I'm happy to still have it. Good Best Actress
to me, Moore is at minus two fifty up against
Mikey Madison at plus one sixty five. As much as
I think Madison deserves it more, I feel like Moore's
got this on lock, even at minus two fifty, which
is like for like, I almost feel like if you,
if you, if you got enough money enough, shekels throw
(08:28):
it onto me more. I don't think Mikey Madison is
going to win this, uh, Like I said, Culkin and
Saldania have those supporting awards locked up. Dune Part two
is a lock for visual effects cinematography. The brutalist is
the favorite right now minus three forty. But Nosatu and
Dune aren't dead Nosaratu plus three fifty, Dune plus five fifty.
Another sneaky bet there, I like, is doing it five
(08:50):
point fifty for that?
Speaker 2 (08:51):
You mean when I took it at two fifty, I
was a fucking idiot.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Production in the production design is likely going in a
wicket at minus four hundred, but no, Seratu is not
dead there at plus five hundred. Wicked has costume design
locked up, Substance has makeup and hairstyling locked up, and
then Gou. The final race, it's sort of up in
the air is film editing. It's a two horse race
between Conclave and Anora. Anora at minus are Anora at
(09:17):
plus one fifty, Conclave at minus one forty. So if
you're looking for anything the bet, I think the best
bet heading into this weekend is Shallame at plus one
fifty to win Best Actor. And that's great because Gou
I have Shalome at best for Best Actor at plus
one forty from like three months ago, right before the
award cycle, so I still like my value there. I
(09:38):
also bet Mikey Madison for Best Actress at minus one sixty,
so bad value, number one, number two. I don't think
it's gonna hit. I also had wagers on Wicked for
best Picture, in Grande for best supporting. Those are both dead,
those are both both far and away, not gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
And right now my dumb bets are I had Best
Picture a complete unknown at plus fourteen hundred because every
publication was saying it's no the favorite and like the
value is too good. I can't let this go. I
got a bet on it. I need to do it.
I've made worse bets. Apparently I haven't best in amatography.
I thought that maybe the whole AI thing might throw
(10:13):
off the brutalist, but Dune has actually gone further down.
I got it at plus two to fifty. I can
throw that money away. And then I did take Best
Actor Timmy Shall's at plus one fifty because of the campaign.
But Mac, if I'm going to ask you right now,
is there anything here that we have not bet on
that I should take a look at.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
No, I honestly think your best bet is maybe even
doubling down on shallow may. I've made worse bets depending
on your bank roll, maybe getting a hefty wager on
to me an infinite bank roll. I don't mind your
I mean, it's bad value where you have it. Plus
two to fifty for Dune best cinematography plus five fifty
(10:53):
is pretty good. I might toss a shekel on that
its dope.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Over the weekend, there was a rumor that an X
Men television series was in the works. But what are
you waving your finger for, mister Matombo.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
That's a fingerwag for no television series.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Oh, I tell you're telling me no, I was wrong,
like you had no special information.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
But combo in the television series.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Marvel exec Brad Winderbaum says that they are now actively
developing their first X Men movie. This is the focus
of the X Men currently.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Yeah, we sort of touched on this last week of
the week before. Marvel wants to slowly drop in some
of the X Men so that when they get to
the X Men movie, they don't need nine, you know,
origin stories. They probably only need like four or five.
And I still think that's gonna be their goal. Here.
News dep.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Dan Never Born Again Season two will release in twenty
twenty six.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
And the showrunner or whoever, don't I don't know exactly
who said it, but someone's on record of saying hopefully
season three and twenty seven and then season Infinity after that,
they're hoping to do a season every year for Infinity year.
I would say, don't get too big for your breeches.
Let's make sure it all makes sense in the context
of the MCU. I know this is sort of adjacent
(12:07):
on a side, but let's let's just focus on our
next season or so.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Charlie Cox, who plays Darre Devil, who plays Matt Murdoch,
said that he would rather see Daredevil join the Avengers
than a return to the Defenders in the MCU.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
I agree, but he's also gonna be need to like
he's so low level like Avengers wise, like he's gonna
have to be someone's sidekick, you know, or he's gonna
have to he can't fly the plane, he's blind. Why
the way, Black Widow, you can get a feel for it.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
But also why would he be like, Yeah, I want
to join those fucking low level scum. No, No, I
want to be with the big boys. I want to
be I agree, I want to be in the billion
dollar movies, not another Netflix style of the show.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
That's what he is, you know, he's not quite major
League ready, but he's too good for trip Away. It
just is what it is.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
I take him off the end of the bench. He's
a nice little brock Holt.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Keep them teamed up with Spider Man.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
I think that's about yeah. News Depe Marvel says that
there are plans for Moonnight to return to the MCU.
This is from at comic book. Lightly not in a
Moonnight season two.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Though I didn't mind Moonlight season one, I don't know.
I don't love the character. I don't hate the character.
I guess i'd have to see how how he would
fit in with other characters, because there's such a bizarre
and unique characters. So that's a that's a I don't know.
I have no optimism for it, but I'm not mad
about it.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
News Depe hey Mon's Juicy six back.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Jesus six.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Aman Vellani revealed her favorite MCU.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Films she plays Miss Marvel. Miss Marvel.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
She said, iron Man, Avengers, Thor Ragnarok, Avengers, End Game,
Guardians of the Galaxy, and Captain America the Winter Soldier
great picks.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
I think except for Avengers, those are actually Avengers and
iron Man. I mean sorry, except for iron Man. I
think those are all my top twelve. Avengers might be
like twelve on my list or tenth surprise, no Infinity
War in there. I don't I don't know how that
didn't quite make the cut.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
That's three of my top four or five of my
top six. Like that, These are all great movies.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
She's got she's got three of my top six. So
we got a good amount there. And once again, you know,
the top what fifteen or eighteen of the MCU is
so good that you're gonna have people with different top sixes,
So it's it's a good list.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Let me do a quick alie real, you know, very fast.
Here Paul Rudd revealed of it was that pop shoving
pop shove it.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Paul Rudd revealed his favorite MCU films. He said, thor
Ragnarok and Captain America Winter Soldier.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Yeah. I think the three if you're talking less than
Avengers level and movies that are the most unique within
the MCU, it's Ragnarok, Winter Soholdier and Guardians. Those are
the three that I'm like, Yeah, if someone says this
is their favorite, totally makes to me because it's a
lot of what makes the MCU the best but it's
also so different from everything else we've seen.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
I also think with these two movies, like if you
are recommending one MCU movie to someone that has seen
no MCU movies, these would be two of like the
four that I would say, like this Guardians and then
maybe like something that needs no introduction to other stuff.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Ant Man, I think is a good like introductory one too.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Yeah, that's not bad, but Paul Rudd probably can't say
that I like ant Man, ant Man two, ant Man three?
What are their Avengers movies? Are my inn civil War?
Speaker 1 (15:35):
He should have said the three ant Man movies. And
Mac and Me.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
He should have just said Mac and Me. If Conan
doesn't do a Mac and Me joke, this weekend at
the Oscars is touch.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
He's lost. As touch.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
News depe DC Studios co heads James Gunn and Peter
Saffron have confirmed that Robert Pattinson's Cape Crusader is not
the dc US Batman, saying we love him, but we've
got to introduce a batman into the DC you.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
This is via Collider Best News of the Week. Gu
keep it separate, keep it its own thing, and potentially
give us two great versions of the character. I think
this is a win win for everyone.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Oh, I finally have dug myself into Harley Quinn season five,
even though our ex friend Nick Fryer didn't even tell
me that the season started.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Our podcast rival, Nick fry fuck TLDR.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Those guys suck. But I'm on episode five of Harley Quinn.
You can watch it on Max and I've liked this season.
Harley and Poison Ivy move to Metropolis, so now it's
more Superman jokes. But I'm on episode five and I'm
finally getting some good hardy laughs.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
In all right, how many episodes of the season eight?
Speaker 2 (16:50):
It's usually ten. I didn't even look. I figure out
a way. I'm gonna watch this. Then I'm gonna watch
your friendly neighborhood spider Man. Then I'm gonna watch.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
And or you gotta start in.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
I've seen three episodes. I'd probably have to restart it.
I haven't watched it in a couple of years. But
we actually just got a trailer for that today and
I forgot to watch it.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Oh shit, and or season two? And or season two?
You haven't watched and or season one? How would you
want to talk about and or Season two?
Speaker 2 (17:13):
It's coming out in April. Okay, I'm gonna watch it.
Everyone stop messaging me and stop calling me dickhead.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
The only way I'm gonna watch it is if you
watch season one, tell me it's that great, and then
like get into season two and you're like, all right,
we're going to talk. Okay.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Maybe so I'll finish Harley Quinn season five. Then maybe
i'll do and Or first then Spider Man, so I
can let you know what's going on.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Yeah, but that might be months from now.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
That's a good point because I still need to watch
that boring show White Lotus. I'm one episode into season.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
To watch White Lotus. Me and my wife watch it.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
My life watching Severn. Oh, we did take it up.
We don't even have Severance on here. What a horny
episode of Severance, right.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Hoarniest episode of legit television in a long time. I
was cheering left and right. What a time to be
like fucking Mark s Looney, fucking savage Dylan.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
G It is an hour of fucking and talking about sex,
that's all.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
It is great and a great yet still a fantastic
episode of television. Like, aside from the sex, there's.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
James Watkins is set to direct Clayface and also it
has been confirmed that it is in the actual DC universe,
not a part of Battinson's universe. This is via the
Hollywood Reporter, and he has previously directed Speak No Evil,
Eat In Lake and the take those rhyme.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
I'm hoping for the best for this one, Goop.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
I love the character, and then I'm always reminded while
watching Harley Quinn of how goofy they made the character
on that show, and I'm like, let's let's bring him back.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
They also they introduced the character in Creature Commando. Oh,
so we have got our introduction already. So if you're
if you you should watch Creature Commandos.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Should I put that before and or after a Door
or after Spider Man.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
I'm making you should just watch them all. Don't watch
any of them in a row, just keep jumping around
to each.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
I'm making my cue right now. And I actually thought
about that earlier, when like, what if I watch like
one show of this on Mondays something on Tuesdays something,
and like make it a whole weekly thing. I like
that for you give me something to look forward to
in my amazing life.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Your mundane existence. Come on, man, I'm right here, news dope.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Jason Momoa will reportedly return as Duncan Idaho in Dune three.
This is via the Inn Schneider.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
The in Snyder like as in The Insider, I don't
know the rules to anything in the universe, so sure,
why not?
Speaker 2 (19:44):
I don't know the rules to life or death even
in real life. I'm with my job in that way.
He wasn't in Dune too, right, No, he died in
Dune one.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Yeah, so I don't.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
I don't know to be a forced ghost. They have
those in Dune, right, I'm sure, news dope. James Cameron
said that Avatar, Fire and Ash starts with a title
card and says no generative AI was used in the
making of this movie.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
This is just problematic to me, gu in the sense that,
first of all, people think that they have to put
this around their movies. I don't fucking care. But number two,
the fact that you have to specify that it's generative
AI means that you have used AI, some kind of AI, right,
generative AI, So then you're almost digging your own grave there.
So just don't even acknowledge it all.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
My question though, did James Cameron did he invent Ai.
He may have him and al Gore Terminator two.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Am I right?
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Yeah, Skynet it's fallen on us.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
He also said the feedback that they've gotten on that
movie is it's definitely the most emotional and maybe the
best of the three so far. I tried to think
back to the first two movies, though, Was there anything
emotional in those movies?
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Did you seen the second one yet? I, unfortunately have
seen the second one? Uh, and unfortunately I didn't hate it.
I didn't hate ito.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Did someone die in the second one?
Speaker 1 (21:08):
I think one of the young kids dies? Maybe?
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Oh the brother?
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Right? Are we spoiling the movie? He got like one.
He's got like three kids now in the second.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
One, and one of them gets could put I think,
But I might be wrong.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
I really forget most It might have just been injured.
I don't know. There's whales in that movie. There is
there is.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
That's what I remembered for as I was forced to
wear three D glasses and there were whales.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Did you wear three D glasses?
Speaker 2 (21:34):
I had to it was a three D movie. I
might I'm not gonna sit there. Ah News Depth Marlon
Wayne said on Good Morning America that it is time
for a White Chicks too.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Nope, sure is it never will be never again? Will that?
Will that make sense? Didn't make sense? Then it just
happened to work.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
I can only count on my hand so many times
the amount of times that I have come home from
work or doing something and my wife is on the
couch watching White Chicks.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
I just don't know how you can conceivably make them
white Chicks too and make it even remotely as good.
And that's the first One's not even good, remotely as
like relevant as the first one became. You know, it's
just don't just leave it alone.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
I mean, they really fell off with Little Man when
they made Marlon Wayans the Baby.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
You know what they should do. It's just jump races.
Do like Spanish Chicks. It's the sequel to White Chicks.
They're like undercover in all sorts of different scenarios. I
don't think you're allowed to do that. Well, maybe not,
I don't know. News depe.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Finally, Leonardo DiCaprio was reportedly in talks to play Evil
Knievel in a biopic. This is via Puck News. I
thought maybe that was a hockey website or a Midsummer's
Night Dream Newsletter I didn't know, directed by Damian Chazelle,
who to me it is a mintimber to Night's Dream
newsletter and it focuses on his famous Snake River jump.
(23:06):
Filming begins this summer.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Sure whatever. I couldn't care less about this until I
see the trailer of Leo and then I'm gonna be
probably be.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
So yeah, you're gonna be so into this movie? What
are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Right now? I could care less about it. I hate this.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Movie, and then you see it you're like, oh my god,
I don't.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Know, but like, what's the name of the movie First
Man with him and Gosling? It wasn't that good?
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Was Leo in that movie? Leo wasn't in that movie?
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Was he? No? Damian Chazelle, Oh, Damien Chazelle.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
No, I don't like Damian Chazelle. Damien Chazelle. Is wasn't
he La La Land?
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Yeah? Is this going to be a musical? But then
he also did Whiplash too, didn't he? Oh? He did
in that movie? Is great? Yeah? Evil?
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Canievel at rhyme so you can sing it anywhere?
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Sure? Sure?
Speaker 2 (23:47):
News dope over at one of our sister. iHeart podcasts
about the same popularity as what we have over here
on Pod Meets World. They finally after hunt undreds of episodes,
I assume had maitland Ward on the show as they
are now diving into season six of Boy Meets World.
(24:08):
Pod Meets World is a podcast Danielle Fischer, Will Ferdell
and Hunter Hunter. It's a Sean Hunter, Ryder Strong.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Yeah. So they've been doing a rewatch series with three
of the four stars of that show. I've never really
got into it, but I know you kind of pick
it up and put it down.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
To I've listened to a good amount of the episodes.
I'll see who the guest is. I listened to a
decent amount of their seasons two through four. Those are
my favorite Boy Meets World seasons, although now getting into
the college years, I did like the goofiness of the
college years, so we'll see.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Yeah. And so in those college years, they introduce a
character named Rachel who is living with Jack and Eric. Yes, yeah,
and I love Triangle. She is played by the actress
maitland Ward, who's this tall, redheaded woman. If you've been
listening to this podcast for long enough, you know that
goo and I have been all over maitland Wards. I
(25:03):
guess dessent into the pornographic universe probably ten twelve years ago.
I don't know what year it was that she started,
but it was news and it might have been right
around when we were kind of starting this podcast.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Too much loud kissing for my liking.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
She's also big in like the cosplay world, but only
because she shows a lot of skin and that sort
of goes hand in hand in the cosplay world. So
essentially the premise of this is, and this is unbeknownst
to me, I didn't really know that Danielle Fischell aka
Tapanga and maitland Ward didn't really get along for the
last fifteen or so years. So the background story to
(25:41):
this is that those two don't really get along, and
Danielle is sort of the lead the point for that podcast.
She's sort of the one running things there.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
She does the episode recap and then she asked for
opinion from writer and will.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Yeah, And so they have not brought maitland on until
now now that they're in season six, which is sort
of how they've been doing thing for the whole run
of the podcast with a couple, you know, a couple
of exceptions, And I guess Maitland Warren who has been
like mad about that the whole time they've been doing
this podcast. And I guess she's been mad for a
(26:19):
decade plus because she sent to Panga a Facebook DM
over a decade ago that Topega never responded to. And
so what I'm getting from this is that Maitland Ward,
as successful she might have might have been, have been
and is in the pornographic world, she's like a little
(26:39):
bitter that she's not able to like do more I guess,
for lack of a better term, goo legitimate things like this,
And so it seems like she's pretty legit. It seems
like she's like upset with them for like not making
her a mainstay and this thing and like not including
her more boy mate's world things. And to that, I say,
(27:00):
no one gives a fuck about Rachel. The most interesting
thing about Rachel is the actress that plays her became
a porn star. That's like, that's the most interesting thing
about her. And so I don't like she just comes
off as like jaded. She starts throwing shots. It gets personal,
and it also seems pretty clear that Maitland Warren has
never really listened to the podcast, and she's like, well,
(27:21):
you guys are negative all the time, and they're like, no,
not really, no we're not. And so basically it just
became tapanga verse Rachel for fifteen minutes with the other
two kind of chiming in here and there go my
major notes here. Yeah. From from the back and forth,
Maitland Ward in a DM or a text to Danielle Fischel,
(27:41):
said they she wanted to hold off this convo about
their you know, their relationship until the podcast episode to
quote unquote rock the stats. Now that's so bad. It's good.
I love that. We gotta we gotta hold off stuff
to rock the stats. Secondly, those two arguing about Facebook
and messaging and unfriending people, they sounded so.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Old, so incredibly old, and they are, let's be fair,
and so aren't we Now we're pretty old.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
They're probably going to decade on us. I'm guessing, yeah,
I think. I think.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Maitland at one point said she was forty seven.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Okay, yeah, so almost exactly ten years older than us.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
I would say that if you want to listen to
this audio, skip the first hour. And then it seemed
like out of nowhere. Danielle Fischell threw out the little
comments of like, it's kind of funny how whenever there
is a controversy with our show, TMZ just finds you.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Yeah, so that is the thing that kicks off the
whole fifteen or twenty minutes of bickering. It must have
been something she had been wanting to ask the whole podcast.
And it is a good point, you know, whenever there's
something about boymate's world, somehow maitland Ward ends up on TMZ.
So clearly she's like calling in the TMZ or hitting
up whoever her contact is there. And Danielle Fischill is like,
(28:51):
why is it that anytime something comes up they talk
to you? And so that's a good point. Good to
Pegas forty three. Oh nice, And her birthday is a
week before. We're both tauruses, so that's real nice for us.
And of course famously I took a photo with her
about eight years ago, seven years ago, what was that?
Twenty eighteen.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
She also said that the entire podcast is just a
show to bash Ben Savage and Michael Jacobs, which the
show does take shots at.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Michael J.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Jacobs is the showrunner yes, the show runner from Boy
Meets World, and she's you know, and maitland Ward goes,
this show made you famous. You guys shouldn't be able
to say anything about it.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Well no, so she's like, you guys should be bashing
it as much as you are. And first of all,
like the number one, we're like, we're not Matt pashing it,
We're just talking about experiences. And number two like, clearly
she's not listening to the podcast if that's the only
thing she has to say. And I also love that,
like Tepango wouldn't let off the hook. She's like, no, really,
like what are the bad things we've said? What have
we said that's bad?
Speaker 2 (29:47):
I've never heard them say, well, you.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Guys know, and they're like, no, we don't. We just
talk about our experiences and talk about how Ben doesn't
text us back. Now. I think the overarching thing here
that is super weird is that Ben Savage communicates with
none of these people.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
He wants nothing to do with him. It seems like
he's a politician now though, is he? I think he's
something in California. He either ran for Congress or he won,
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
So he hopped back in on Girlmates World with Danielle
Fischell in twenty thirteen, and that ran for like three
scenes or whatever. You and I met this whole cast
minus maitland Ward at fan.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
X possibly a living William Daniels.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
It was twenty eighteen or twenty nineteen, and he and
Ben Savage was there, but notably he was surely the
one the least interested out of this whole thing. And
I don't blame him. I guess if she like, he's
only had success as Corey Matthews and he got I
guess sort of type casted in that. Or maybe he's
just not a good actor. I don't know, but it
(30:48):
seems like he's purposefully separated him himself from these people,
and that's fine. They've sort of dealt with it. They
should be able to talk about it, though, you know,
they're not putting him down. They could just talk about
how Ben's like, yeah, I don't really care all.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Fordll has said on the podcast that the only reason
why the show went more than one season is because
of Ben Savage. Ben Savage was like, he was like
a young stand up comedian when he was on the show,
just ripping jokes and I.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Know maybe maybe a lot of artists doesn't care about this,
But if you were a little white boy in the
right here working class in the nineties, boy Mee's World
was right up your alley and it's good and I
so we grew up on this show. U. So maybe
you didn't care about any of the last ten minutes
of what we just talked about, but it's relevant to
(31:32):
GOO and I.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Also, if you want to listen to it once again,
jump an hour into the Pod meets World podcast and
then listen to like twenty minutes. You don't need to
listen to the first hour.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
I jumped in at like one tenant. Yeah, it was
just after she had asked her about the team's he'sa stuff,
So jump in at like one o eight or one
oh nine.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Although I do like will for Dell asking her about
the process of getting into a scene for porn
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Which is like, there are certainly people that are tuning
into that episode interested in that sort of stuff, no doubt,
there's doubt
