and it gets chaotic. Yeah,jav Bray, you get a chance scroll
(02:51):
back on for what two years agowe did that D and D wedday's episode.
Listen to it and just listen tohow we had no idea what we
were doing. And look how muchtime we invented. We invested in one
episode of just like oh, here'snew music, here's new logo, here's
new everything, just for one episode, just for one episode. Were very
eager. Then you know, nowit's like, well, hey, we'll
(03:12):
put the Christmas music on the Christmasstuff. Yes, you listened to it,
Well, there you go. Thereit's a free dn D for you.
But we always start the podcast properlywith what you're doing. We talked
about the things we've been watching,games, we've been playing lies, we've
been living because it is Thursday.Yep, boy, it gets to go
first. And I'm not happy tosay I'm sick. And you can probably
(03:36):
tell based on how I'm talking.I'm very nasally right now, congested,
and thank God for you. Nextcuz a little graphic, but there's a
lot that's not came out this morning. Yeah, music the next guy,
I'm more of a todd and allcold flo guy. It's it's what we
had pretty much. It's it isweird how the Mathew Mathing with you always
go through night quill first before youget all the day quill out. I'm
(03:58):
like, oh damn all I havea day quill. Well, that doesn't
help because got caffeine in it.We'll say Nike quill is a miracle drug.
If you can't get to sleep atnight, let me. I had
some dreams on ni quill two daysago. I was like, what the
hell is some vivid dreams of colorsand everything going on? And my dreaming
were a week what's happening right now? But in lieu of that, pretty
(04:21):
much still been watching The Adventure Time, which has been great. More and
I have been watching the Office Christmasepisodes, which we've kind of talked about
kind of your good entry point intoChristmas stuff. But the cool thing is
we've been watching on Peacock, soit's the like super Fan episodes, which
is like the one thing Peacock hasof, like you're either all extended or
(04:41):
like cut things that it make thecut. So it's always fun Moura being
the office super fan literally pointing out, oh, that wasn't in the original
episode, and she can tell likeimmediately when it wasn't in the original episode
or not quick question because I'm Johnthan Gott's put in the chat God speeds
both not on open. It's oneof both nosol's working when you breathe in
or is it's only one side amr. They're both open. But I think
(05:06):
like the mucus is like stuck inthe back of my throat. I think.
So it's like I can taste italmost you know, it's bad.
Yeah, I was gonna say,though, if if, if you had
some nostril clogging clogging. Vic's nasalspray is another miracles Yes, yes,
oh my gosh, oh my gosh, it's great. Wow. But yeah,
(05:26):
we've been watching that and you know, I've been sleeping a lot.
Uh, So you boys gotta bethis busy week. You know, we
got jingle Ball on Monday. It'sgot some surprises coming on Monday too,
which will be fun. So Igotta make sure we're healthy by Saturday.
Is that way We're ready to goby Monday? You know now, and
you say surprises. Is a certainbest in the world coming to one of
(05:47):
your shows this week? A certainbest in the world isn't coming to our
show, but a certain morbon timeman is coming to our show because Jared
Leto will be at or Hot ninetynine five jingle Ball, and you better
believe I'm gonna hunt him down andask if Morbius two is happening or not?
Yeah. Yeah, Like the hatwith the press right now, Timm,
(06:11):
right now, they were like,where did Hoody go? Oh,
Jared Leto's on the press carpet.That's where he is trying to get the
deep info carp the deep four oneone for the podcast. Isn't him or
is his band? May be inthe band thirty seconds to Mars, So
it's just Jared Letto. So weall I know from my perspective is he's
attending I don't know based on logisticwise, I don't have the information known
(06:33):
to me yet what he's actually doing. So I'm just gonna hopefully be right
place I'm gonna do with Kevin thing, be at the right place at the
right time. And just up there'sJared Letto. Morbius two wasn't happening?
People want to know. So that'smy original goal was to get a hug
from Jelly Roll because my grandma wantedthat. She thought two weeks through atsmosis
(06:57):
it would pass to her. Butnow that Jared Leto's there, well everything's
out the window for that man,So no hook of Grandma rolls. Well,
well we'll try to do that.But priority is Morbon time. It's
more than too. It's Mormon time. Uh, spitting in an o'clock and
put a vampire on it. It'smore time. But that's what I've been
(07:18):
doing. Once you've been doing good, sir, I've been working nine hour
shifts at work because man, it'sthe last tuff to do. It's the
holidays, baby, Just when youthink you're out, no, it's wild
to think like it feels like we'redone. But Christmas is still like two
at least two weeks away still,so you're not done. You know,
(07:38):
I still have ten days of realwork left. Ten days, right,
because all of next week today's eight. Yeah, all of next week and
all of the following week. Istill have ten ten real days of work.
You keep going, baby, keepclimbing. I've been planning our live
broadcasts for the last month and ahalf. Come right down to the wire
because usually what we do is wewere broadcast from this place called Batalleue Farms
(08:01):
and Towson, Cockysville. It's likea it's a plan store. But to
get its very Christmas at this timeof year, So we do a broadcasts
for the kids. You know,you don't need money to the kids campaign
and you know, very very verycool stuff. It's all goes to the
kids. It's nothing. It's notlike for you know, toys for tides.
It it's really for kids, likethey need coats, shoes and money
(08:22):
for camps like that. And weusually like enlist school choirs to come out
and sing live on air, butthis year all the schools in the Baltimore
area closed on Thursday, so Idon't know who I'm getting. On Friday,
we'll find out who wants some extracurriculars. You know, I have
a few people down and if Ihave to sing, I'll sing. I
(08:43):
make this happen. So you couldstep back. Can you be a whole
harmony like pentathotics? I mean,I might have to exk a guy right
here to my left because I thinkyou're on vacation that way. I mean,
like it can be a crisis jingleball. I mean, I don't
know. We could be like thePhiladelphia Eagles have the whole christ but we
can do the same thing if youwant the crisis Christmas very merry crisis,
you know. But then you're alsotold me before we start a podcast,
(09:09):
you got fun plans on Saturday,Yeah, the Saturday taking the fame to
Hershey Park for like the Christmas themiddle of winter, sixty degrees on Saturday,
things the middle of fall. Andthen next week I'll actually be taking
them to see Transiberian Orchestra and Kevinawant to read it. Yes, so,
got a lot of Christmas stuff planningfor the family and make sure that
(09:31):
Leah's last Christmas as a only childgoes well. Yes, because changes.
I think what you gotta do is, yeah, like next month at this
point almost uh is get if yougo Trans Hiberian Orchestra, you gotta get
all the light up stuff because youknow that's gonna like sync up with everything,
and they probably invest in that.Yeah, we told her what to
(09:54):
expect, but I still understand.I think she thinks she's going to see
like, you know, orchestra.No, these guys literally rock a rack
show. They have no reason toplay over the world like that, but
they do. And this is sidetangent, but have you seen kind of
similar I don't know how old TransSiberian Orchestra is that Kiss is doing all
virtual concert I guess now that theirtour is over. So it's kind of
(10:16):
how the Abba concert is where it'scompletely virtual. But it's really weird.
I saw like footage of it andI'm like, I don't know I feel
about that. It just looks weird. Yeah, just like watching a love
YouTube video. I feel like it'sjust the same thing. You just play
the screen, but it's got theeffects going on, but there's nobody on
the actual stage and people doing doingthe the emoti for this. That tong
(10:41):
will pop up and that's it.That's why I went through the trouble making
a tongue to exactly I mean.Other than that, though I haven't really
been doing much like busy season ofplanning. It is my is my busy
season. I am counting down thetime to Friday, December twenty second at
ten am last excreed you guys seenext year, go home in the typical
(11:03):
I'll see you next year. Well, let's get on into it because it's
time for the news. It's no, no, no, firstly, oh
yes like me today? That's okay. First things first, we have to
talk about Avatar Frontiers of Pandora akathe Avatar game, aka the last real
(11:30):
video game to come out in twentytwenty three. My favorite coming about this
so far actually dallathmcard and chatt Hesaid, I forgot the have a card
game was a thing. Yep.It came out today literally as of this
podcast recording. You can play thatgame today thanks for our friends at ubisof.
We both got codes for it.But it is busy season, so
we both haven't played the game,so we can't share our opinions on it.
(11:52):
That's why we're gonna do sort ofreview roundup and our friends at Open
Critic. Uh. Fortunately Kevin diddraft game for his side of our fantasy
gaming league, and much how thewhole year went for Kevin this year not
doing so hot. Not doing sohot. It win something loose. I've
won the league a few times,so I mean, you win something loose.
(12:13):
We can't win every year back toback. I'm trying to three peat
next year. You know I alreadytell him winning this year three pete,
let's do it. Already know whatgames to pick for next year. Not
Suicide Squad, that that one that'sgonna be. That's gonna be a scene
online when that game comes out.I can already see it. I can
already see people be really upset.But here's what it's sitting at right now.
(12:33):
It's sitting out a seventy on OpenCritic, which they say is fair
open critics kind of like Rotten Tomatoesfor video games. Some of the reviews
people have been saying. Tristan o'gilvyat IGN gave it a seven out of
ten, saying Frontiers of Pandora featuresa stunning alien world to explore, but
doesn't contain as many genuine surprises asother modern open worlds. Game Spot gave
(12:54):
it an eight out of ten fromPhil Hornshaw, though it includes a lot
of familiar open world elements, aminimalistic user interface, fun movement mechanics,
and a gorgeous setting make it ablast exploor. Pandora our Friends game and
former Matt Miller gave a seven pointeight out of ten. I found a
lot of love in the game,including the addition of two player online co
(13:16):
op. Kevin, I think Iknow what we're gonna do. We're gonna
be Navi playing together in the game, because I didn't know that was a
thing. But a flawed but stillpraise whether addition to this growing science fiction
universe. So kind of gist ofhow we all felt of it looks pretty,
but the game, the game isa Ubisoft game above all else.
(13:39):
But you know what, like peopleare saying this is a middling game,
but eight out of ten. Structgave it a nine out of ten.
That's not middling. That's like great, that's good for an Avatar game.
Because if you think the last Avatargame we had, I think was the
one ubisof made for the first moviethat was like the movie tie in game
went two thousand and nine when thatcame out. To go from that to
(14:01):
this perfect Aaron Giles this year.Last time Avatar movie hype this year.
Oh it's out. I forgot aboutthat exactly. By the way, missed
the era of movie talian games andthat was the time to be. It
was a time. I'm glad we'redumb with those though, because some of
those games were atrocious. Marvel IronMan game and the Thor game and the
(14:24):
Captain America game at the time oralright, those are kind of the studs
out of everything. When a CaptainAmerican name wasn't glitchy, it was a
lot of fun. Actually, alot of those games were glitchy because they
try to port games over everything elseto put skins on them to look like
Captain America. There's never a timewhere it wasn't glitchy. Yeah, but
it is interesting. Obviously we haven'tplayed yet, but it does feel like
(14:46):
Avatar is gonna be a game thatmaybe you buy after Christmas, you got
that game stop gift card, youwant to play something fun that will last
year a little bit. So itsounds like the Avauitar game will be.
Yeah, it is definitely gonna belike the game that you know, someone
gets this, this, this,this, this, this, and you
want it. Oh you got meAvatar too? Yeah, I saw on
TikTok. The opening cut scene doesplace the game at the events of the
(15:09):
first Avatar movie, so it's likeJake Sooley is turning on the military and
like we got to kiddle all theNave. It's like, oh, I'm
one of the Nave. Yeah.Oh no, oh we're fighting that guy.
Damn it, Jake Suley, youleft up everything I see. Yeah.
(15:30):
I mean, if you love Avatar, I definitely think it's worth a
try. But it is, Imean, oddly enough. That's why you
was Soft is releasing it now,just kind of just to get it out,
you know, for the holidays andmaybe get some bucks for well you
watch the movie. I still haven'twatched the sequel. Now, okay,
that's what I'm watching it. I'malways like, oh, watch it on
a plane. But I'm never ona plane for longer than three hours to
(15:52):
watch the movie. US you're goingcross country to west somewhere to the southwest.
There's no way. And it's never. It's never like, hey everyone,
we want to watch Avatar. No, no, no, we don't
want to say hey, hey everybody, you want to watch Oppenheimer no Barbie,
good Barbie. Okay, I'll watchBarbie and cry at the end.
(16:14):
I don't feel like being, youknow, questioning my extential existence. I
don't feel like it. But definitely, you know, check it out,
look at the reviews online. Ifyou want to buy it, buy it.
But I think my advice is waittill after Christmas. Use those game
stop gift cards or whatever you getfrom your relatives you barely see invested it
then, yeah, because I don'tthink it's not gonna It's not gonna be
(16:36):
a game of Tatoka TikTok or YouTube. It could making videos. Here's the
thing, Hogwarts legacy. We allthought the controversy was gonna be dead out
of the water. That lasted awhile, But we can find the true
avatar heads that are taking over socialmedia. So I think, and this
is just from my experence, Ithink the true avatar heads are not of
(16:56):
gang playing age, if that makessense, true too, yeah either.
And it is while that it cameout now with the game Awards already coming
out today, will be out latertoday, which is why we want to
get this podcast stuck in there.But also Fortnite just launched its Lego Mode.
It's launching its like Guitar Hero typemode later this weekend too, So
(17:18):
I think Fortnite's going to kind ofdominate the conversation more than Avatar will this
weekend. Also, any drugon isputting the chat. At one point the
movie turns into basic the plot ofFree WILLI, which got me thinking,
at some point, do you needa review free I've never seen Free Willy,
so you've never seen spit that onour list. You've never cried listening
to Michael Jackson's I Know the songand that isn't wait? So is Free
(17:42):
Willy a Disney movie? Technically?I think I thought that was a universal
MOE when it came out real quickWikipedia Free Willie movie was produced company Regency
Enterprises distributed by Warner Brothers. Wereboth wrong. I mean swear would be
(18:03):
would be streaming on Max I guessso probably would be. Sure. Okay,
we'll figure that out there. ButFree Will you added to the list
on top of Uh the Wizard andWild Wow West because it's Wow Wow West.
You're not streaming anywhere right now.Well, we'll wait till it comes
on streaming, then we review itbecause we have the habit of we'll do
(18:25):
that movie crap. We have topay for it. Another great song on
the movie by s WV. Man. What a time to be eleven to
the nineties. It's time to bealive. But Kevin, it's also another
time to be alive. Because makesure you turn off the intro when we
switch over to the new one,we're gonna talk about a little bit more
about the Grand Theft Auto six trailerswitched over to Reaction Theater. Love it.
(18:51):
I'm still mad at this trailer,by the way, Uh so we
watch it. You could check outour initial reviews to The Lily the episode
before this episode. So I'm justgonna have it play in the background,
no audio. Tom Petty's claiming everybody, it's happened to us. Luckily it
didn't affect the video we did,but still Tom Petty's coming for everybody with
this trailer beyond the gree So,Kevin, now we've had I think seventy
(19:17):
two hours since we've both seen thetrailer. What are your thoughts on it
so far? I am so hypedfor this game, mostly because a lot
of the stuff that we were talkingabout looks like it's right before it drops.
It is going to come true.It's gonna be in game social media,
it's gonna be an updated version ofVice City, is going to be
(19:40):
so much more in depth, andlike some of the cg and is in,
I won't can think any a lotof this is gameplay, but some
of the TV looks better than movies. Yeah, And the wild thing is
that you gotta love the Internet forproving like a lot of the like social
clips that are in this trailer arebased on real life things like like this
(20:00):
lady with the hammers, Like that'sa real lady they based it on in
Florida. So, like Kevin kindof predicted, we're gonna get a lot
of Florida man stories in this game, and that'll probably be your little side
missions you do as you're one offLucia character and the other male character as
well. And that's another thing I'mexcited about. It looks like they have
a real story that you're gonna actuallycare about. I don't know whether or
(20:22):
not you'll be able to flip betweenboth characters, but it was like you'll
be invested in the story and probablypart of their story is going to be
about people cheering for them. Onsocial media. Yeah, so Jason is
the name of the male character,and Rockstar did just confirm that you'll be
able to switch between them both.They didn't necessarily detail if it's gonna be
like how GTA five was, whereyou could switch pretty much at any point.
(20:45):
Sometimes you couldn't, but you're right. I think having them be a
social media Bonnie and Clyde. Itwas a there's a movie with Emma Roberts
and Dave Franco. Oh yeah,true for Dare the movie, which is
this like I think I saw iton Hulu. We're literally like they are
(21:07):
in a game where they have tocommit crimes machine gun kellies in the movie
too. It's an okay movie,but kind of the same vibes of like
they have to work together on socialmedia and try to prove their crimes.
Maybe it is they go viral forcommitting crimes in public and then eventually,
you know they get caught all thatgood stuff, and you know it's gonna
be some kind of what's the wordcaveat. They're not going to be totally
(21:30):
bad people. There's people in abad situation kind of like how almost every
kind of fun as well, don'tget me wrong. They're bad people to
kill. We play all these games, but they have a heart of goal,
you know what I mean? Yeah, it is funny. I don't
know about you, but I diddownload Grand Theft Auto five after seeing the
trailer, and apparently a lot ofpeople did. And I've just been seeing
(21:52):
a lot of Grand Theft Auto,Red Dead, Redemption pop it up with
my TikTok and it's like man rockStar gets it every time. You know,
it takes forever, but it's goldevery time, baby, And it
was great about they don't really maketwo games Red Dead and Graham Methoto.
Now, yeah, they used tomake a lot more games. They won't
go back to that Bully franchise orl A Noir, so let's just stick
(22:12):
with these two. Could have beengreat. L A and R is great,
and like they could have done something. They could have done an n
Y Noir or whatever, but theydidn't exactly Chicago Noir. Keep going.
Maybe that's something that maybe they couldthey could bring back. That's that's why
I feel like they spend so muchtime on these on Red Dead two,
(22:33):
on Grand and Fatal five six tenyears. Maybe that they want to bring
a lot of those, like yousaid, Bully games back, but they
need money for development. So thisis kind of like you know they always
say in in the studios, theblockbusters allow the indis to happen. Well,
that's the thing. Is like thelast game they made, like you
said, Red Dead Reduction two,which has the remastered which is coming to
(22:57):
PlayStation. But besides that, oractually I think it's the first Red Dead
Redemption is getting remastered. That wastwenty eighteen, so it's been five years
since that. We do not confirmthis game isn't coming out un till twenty
twenty five, which is wild becausewe predicted it eighteen months from now would
be out. And that's what's probablygonna happen. You'll you'll be a year
(23:18):
married when this game comes out,probably, yeah, for sure. Yeah,
Like, hey, I know we'remarried, but let me tell you
I'm a not a Technically, it'sa long history, even if you played
Grand Aft out of five because thatwas ten years ago, so it is
a long history. I do wonderthough, like you said, going back
to only only only get two games. Max Payne was pretty good third when
(23:41):
I came out. I don't understandwhy I never went back to that franchise
either. I think it's a lotof really consolidating, like you said,
consolidating and using what makes you moneyinvesting in that because you know the name
brand two Grandma thought it was aname Red Dead Redemption became a name really
for the first game, then hadthat zombie mode, then we had the
(24:03):
sequel. Obviously that was a prequeltechnically, but you could see like all
that stuff was incorporated into a GrandTheft Auto or Red Dead Max Paid being
that like Bullet Time, remember thatwas Michael's special ability and Grand Theft Auto
five and then like Bully. ReallyI never played Bully, but I know
the appeal of it. It's kindof like Harry Potter without the magic obviously,
(24:29):
but like Rockstar used to make thePing Pong games, and like those
are many games we can play inGrand Theft Auto. It's just rock Star.
I feel like it's like one ofthe only two that gets it all
right all the time. M becauseusually a game come out and look great,
play terrible. A game could lookgreat, play terrible, have horrible
dialogue and writing, or a gamecan have great dialogue and writing, play
(24:52):
great, but look terrible. Rocksare like the ones who that gets write
consistently, you know what I mean? Like going back to I played Assassins
Creed out of out of the threeones that came out recently on next gen,
Nincleon Mirage Out of Sea is thebest one I had. All three
looked great, played great, greatwriting. Assassin's Creed Origins didn't play as
(25:14):
great because they was fine. Thenew Control Scream Valhalla was very wooden.
It wasn't as a sharp very long. Whereas even though we waited so long
for a Grand Theft Fotto game,can you really name a background photo game
after Grand Fuddle three? Because they'reall pretty good and get rid of the
(25:36):
Rebastard of Vice City and San Andresthat it was just really just to make
money and like we kind of predicted, was to set the maps for these
games to come out, you knownow, I think that's what the specialty
is, and that's kind of howyou build a brand is keep delivering pedigree,
and you get pedigree back of thisgood quality game, which is what
(25:57):
is looking like it's going to bea again. And also I'm wondering if
this is actual gameplay because in game, yeah, I'm looking at it and
it's not too far off of whatHorizon looks like, what Right and Rock
looked like that Last of Us.It doesn't look too far away from Yeah,
and the wild thing was is thatI remember Grand Theft Thought of five.
(26:19):
I think when it went from threesixty to Xbox one and PS three,
I guess the PS four was thatfirst introduced the first person mode,
and that was wild because you prettymuch get a completely different game this perspective
wise, and this is obviously lookinglike we're gonna switch between that a lot
(26:40):
and have that ability, which isalways great, especially not just when you
were driving, but just like thebeing cut like in game cut scenes as
Franklin and seeing Trevor's face I thinkgives you that more intimate of a scene.
I think having the jump of goingfrom like three console generations for Grandfaft
th out of five is what's gonnabenefit at grandfath Thought of six. And
(27:02):
I'm gonna say here, it doesn'tneed to be on PS four and Xbox
one, sorry, Xbox Play anywhereand you want to be cross gin,
I think it needs to be justPS five Xbox Series X or you can
figure out what it is whatever consolewe have next then you can figure that
out later. I think they have. They haven't confirmed PC yet either,
(27:25):
Like that was just on the consoles, yeah, which I mean bad.
I mean I think if you'd getPC out with Xbox and PlayStation, then
you have to you know, buildfor mods and all that stuff. Whereas
if it's just Xbox PlayStation, there'sno way there's a Nintendo Switch version.
Let's face it, now, theTennis Switch could play maybe grandfa Thought of
(27:48):
two, you know, like itcould probably play five at this point,
but this would be a little alittle less degrade. I mean, look
how what the art Coome trilogy islooking on this. It's not great.
The one thing I am hoping thoughfor, and this is because I've been
spoiled with God of War is Godof War. Both twenty eighteen and Random
Rock are one of the few onecut games. Mm hmm, Like there's
(28:11):
literally no there's no there's a loadingscene, Like you turn the game on
and you see cradles doing something,you press to start game, and you
go right into it. Yeah,I hope this just does the same thing,
whereas there's no loading into a cutscene and then loading back out to
the gameplay it's just all seamless.I think it will be. I think
I mean, look at Spider Mantwo, like the fast travel is literally
(28:32):
like two second animation and then you'realready back in the thing. I would
assume they've having the PlayStation five andSeries X for a while now, they
would have that immediately where it is. You know how with Trevor and Michael
and Franklin, if you if youswitched, it would hang in the sky
for a little bit and then you'relike, oh, oh, it's loading
(28:55):
now, it's trying to load theneighborhood Trevor's in, and then when go
into perspective, I would assume thisbe shroop and shroop back down exactly.
I'm also wondering to if the delayin the release is because they want to
build. They want to launch youronline mode immediately. I don't think you
need to. I think you launchthe campaign in twenty twenty five, then
(29:15):
you can do online in twenty twentysix. I think the main thing there
is you got to figure out howto either sunset what grand theftought online is
now, or say hey, thisversion is dot is ending twenty twenty five
and we can switch over Kevin backto the normal vie if you want is
ending in twenty twenty five, likein June, and that launches in October.
(29:37):
That's what they got to figure outof, or we got to learn,
is all right, should I investin my grand theft thought online character?
Knowing the switch over is something new? You know, because right now
you have you have Destney one andDestiney two situation on your hands where you
literally watch the tower burn for itworked so hard on Destney one. Everything
I have is just gone, likeyeah, best situation. Maybe they do
something like you can move your characterbuy city something like that. I don't
(30:02):
know that's a problem though. Youdo A little is a Pokemon Ruby and
Sapphire where you wake up in amoving truck. You're like, wait,
hot, what the hell? Andyour mission for like twenty seconds is to
wait in the moving truck and thenyou pop up and buy city and then
you have a whole new world totake over. I mean, I'm kind
of down for it. I kindof like that as a mission. Just
(30:22):
let me wait twenty minutes in amoving truck, kind of like Dark Knight
MC Dark's get into a moving truckand drop to a scarecrowst place, Yes,
and it was like, Nope,don't resist, just go inside the
moving truck. That's it, That'sall you have to do. I want
to punch them in a face.Oh. It's like also an Orkham Asylum
where it's like, oh, youhave to go meet the Joker. But
(30:44):
then there's like all these all thejokers thugs cheering you on to go take
on Joker. But they're like,fa, you beat everyone up now,
like we were celebrating you. Whywhy I need an achievement? Pop?
Sorry, sorry, it was anachievement. Well, but Kevin, speaking
of things we're excited for the nearfuture, let's also talk about Donkey Kong
(31:06):
Country, the expansion, no,not to a video game, to the
actual Nintendo World theme park coming inthe near future. My favorite part about
this announcement was they played a songfrom the video game You Kng Country is
one of the most underrated video gamesof all time. And I think it's
opinion it's gonna be cool because like, this is something we looked at or
(31:27):
we saw when they first teased theconcept of Nintender World being the thing.
Wow. I think that was likeeight years ago during whatever the Olympics were
in Japan, which is wild.But it looks like Super Nintendo World will
be adding its Donkey Kong Country areaspring twenty twenty four. Obviously we're waiting
(31:48):
still for the US version of NintendoWorld. Well actually did open in the
West Coast. We're just waiting forit to come out on the East coast,
which we're getting there, you know, we're we're hopefully in two years
from now we'll get that. Ifeel like right now Universal Studios is kind
of like uh in Orlando was likeNew York. It's continuously under construction.
It's gonna be building forever. It'snever gonna end. They're gonna keep adding
(32:13):
stuff every year. You know,Edcot added glowy lights on the bottom of
a floor, so that took hima year. So see if it compares
with what they're building over at Universal. But the one thing that they putting
this announce that we knew it wasgonna happen. But but the rail car
level, it's gonna be a worldercoaster. That's that's pretty much I only
mission make sure that that is okay. Yeah, and I think I think
(32:36):
that I think the main mission ofthat too is make it good because I
think we were so hyped for theMario Kart ride. Then we found out
what it was, They're like,oh, okay, it's just a goggle
ride the whole time. Really,I mean, I've heard some people ride
it and say it was really fun, but that could have been a lot
more. Yeah, a lot more. I think it is, especially more
(32:57):
Disney adults. We can say that, and we're kind of Dizzney snubs more
than Universal fans. But to gofrom Galaxy's Edge, then if you would
go into the Nintendo world and they'relike cool, I see they we're going
for the mersed vibes, but it'snot on the same level as Harry Potter
or Star Wars of having everything thereand it's cool to hang out with Mario,
but you know, I need somethingcool to like be oh my god,
(33:21):
I rode that ride with Mario orDonkey Kong. And that's the thing,
because Universe was kind of like theAntennasis to Disney, with Disney is
where you go to take the family. Universe was extreme. Yeah, lot
of coaster yeah, yeah, ninetiesNext Man with with with six pack apps,
yeah, Spider Man, and thenyou get on that America ride,
it's like, oh yeah. Butaccording to our friends at IGN, like
(33:47):
keV said, Mine Cart Madness isgoing to be the ride roller coasters set
around Towering Temple Deep in the Jungleseems to be based on Donkey Kong Country
Returns. At the end of theattraction, visitors will all will face off
against Tiki Tong final boss from DonkeyKong Country Returns. There'll also be various
activities, kind of how in MarioWorld where you collect coins and this one
(34:09):
you collect k O n G thecon letters. I just want to play
Donkey Konga the whole time because Igot the conga drums in there. My
sister actually has heard sn s classicMike plays one far go to bed Tonight
or just bust out the GameCube extensionof the Donkey Conga drums and just like,
let's play this again. That wasn'textension. I forgot about that.
(34:30):
You're right, nobody likes here's thething. As a child, I wanted
it. I knew it was crap, I wanted it still. Yeah,
there was so many perfect if wewanted those kids that they were added nothing
to the gameplay experience but just lookedcool. Apparently the new expansion, at
least in Super Nintender World in Japanwill make it one point seven times long
bigger, so pretty much double thesize of what Super Nintender World is right
(34:53):
now. With UH, they havetwo rides in Japan, It's the Rio
Kart Ride and then a Yoshi's Adventure, kind of like a baby ride.
I would assume that's what they're goingto do in UH Orlando because they're building
that pic universe. They have thebigger land there to do everything, whereas
in Hollywood they kind of had toput it in a small specific area.
(35:15):
But nevertheless, I think this makesit more fun to just get ready to
go to Universal in twenty twenty five, hopefully hopefully. I mean I've been
Universal since twenty twenty twenty eighteen.Mm hmm, that's a Universal, So
it's been a while for me.I haven't really had a reason to go
back until they started doing all thisother stuff. I've seen the Harry Potter
(35:37):
World, both sides of it,so I mean, I'm looking at it
for a reason to go. Butthis Donkey Kong Land might push me over
the top, because that's because ofthe mine Car, the mine Car roller
coaster. But to Mario what Isu Mario Land was both in Japan and
Hollywood. I was like, uh, I'll get there eventually. Yeah,
I'm not. I think I thinkadding this makes a little more lucrative.
(36:00):
You know, you had look atthe Guardian's Ride. You're like, the
Guardian's Rid's dope. And then theybuilt the Vengers Campus behind it in Disneyland,
Like, all right, now I'mgonna spend a whole at least half
day in the Avengers Campus. Yeah, just campus need some help. That
that that that's another open, thatdamn Shield ride that's been sitting there in
that building. You know, welove Star Wars, we love the other
(36:23):
mercer of areas in Disney, butuh yeahs Star Wars. I mean,
campus needs a lot of help.I mean it's cool, you can see
all all the characters there. Don'tget me wrong, but I want to
ride something, not just the SpiderMan Shooty Shootman shoot Ride. You know
that I thought that Toy story laterexactly the same Rock Exact ride. It
was a little bit high off theround. But Kevin speaking of Marvel is
(36:45):
a perfect transition in and realized itdid we have to talk about the MC
is officially conferremed Brigadi in three DisneyPlus series in twenty twenty four, to
go alongside the one Marvel movie we'regetting in twenty twenty five four, Deadpool
three, which that's been fun lookingat the leaks on that movie, and
now Ryan Reynolds is photoshopping everything thef with people. I am not looking
(37:09):
at any leaks because as much aseverybody's claring for this movie, I'm going
in fresh, I don't want anyleaks. Well, according to Ryan Reynolds,
Predator is the movie Kevin, soenjoy that. And remember Predator is
a Fox property, so that actuallycould be true in the movie there,
I'd be happy I make cannon inthe In the Marvel comics, yeah,
(37:29):
that'd be cool. Actually, Ithink once upon a time there was an
alien comic Marvel made, so ina Predator one Predator versus Punisher right now,
right and now, actually they Ithink they did do that. They
did well. It was Predator versusgreen Lantern. I think the Predator was
like a yellow lantern or something.That makes sense because it was his weakness
(37:50):
the color such color yellow sad.But according to our friends of Marvel,
the three series coming out next year, Kevin, for sure, what do
you think they are? Before wesay what they are, I'm gonna say
because they were filming that before thewhat you call it the Strike iron Heart
because of that feature that came acouple weeks. Agatha, and I'm trying
(38:10):
to think about love another one.You forgot your favorite one? Oh yeah,
Echo, Echo, So you gottwo out of the three, right,
Echo. We know it's coming outin January tenth, with all five
episodes coming out. Agatha Dark OldDiaries is confirmed and now come out sometime
in twenty twenty four, which wewould assume would come out maybe around Halloween,
(38:31):
because which is why not September,October whatever? Yeah, that would
make sense. The other one that'sconfirmed that Disney has said it will be
coming is X Men ninety seven willfinally be coming out, because I feel
like we've been waiting for that forlike four years now. Yeah, they
got anoot, they got enounces thesame time, I feel like it's a
(38:52):
Spider Man series that we still havea gun yet. Yeah. That was
really excited about it, and there'sstill nowhere to be found. But yeah,
I'm excited. I think obviously wehave what if season two to end
this year, so it kind ofcounts obviously for this year, but it
finishes I think on New Year's Day, New Year's Eve Day. Yeah,
but I think that's a good justlike, all right, what if and
(39:13):
then literally two weeks after you gotthe echo watch it all once. Then
literally it's there'll be a lull.I think I'm assuming we assume bad Batch
will come out at the end ofJanuary like it always does exactly, uh,
and then Deadpool three obviously coming outin May. I think still May.
I don't know if I pushed toJuly or remember off the top of
(39:35):
my head, you would assume XMen would come out in between them,
and then Agatha in October. Let'scall it. It's twenty twenty four gear
the Marvel reset. It's a littlebit of a hey, let's pause,
get get what's already out, justout, and then we'll take it out.
I'm fine with that. If youif you look at I was watching
talk about this earlier, look atthe first phase. They really hit their
(39:57):
shrie till phase three rests WI kindwe're kind of up and down. There's
good ones are bad ones. They'reabout to enter the third phase. Of
the second phase. So there wasfour or five and then they'll hit six
soon at some point. So that'swhen things kind of taking off a little
bit. And then people were like, oh, god's but they never left.
They never left. You just left. You just left and it came
(40:19):
back. You got to go tothe bathroom. But it's okay. It
was a long bathroom break. Butyeah, I mean that, that's that's
cool. I think if anything,there's three different types of things, obviously
Echo being all at once. TheX Men show, I hope is in
patches. Don't do that weekly.I think just have it all out.
I really do like that. Whatif it's one a day for that week
(40:40):
they gain and obviously to get holidaynumbers for Disney Plus and then Agatha,
I think that can be your weeklything. That makes sense. That makes
sense, But it's unless the animatedseries is a miscible level, which is
few and far between a lot ofanimated series. It's hard to go weekly
with animated and really the Agatha showcan really fill the vibes of America and
horror story where you know, alwayscomes out in August beginning of September and
(41:04):
then it finishes up right around likeHalloween, so I think they can go
for the same vibe there, andI can say then needs to be out
around Halloween, the spooky season,show Man, Wonder, Vision, Good
Time. I'm gonna have to watchprewatch WandaVision for that probably, but that
does it for us this week.Obviously, this is shorty episode because we
did a bonus episode reacting to theGrand Fat Auto trailer, which you can
(41:27):
check out now. But the coolthing is, while we're doing this a
shorty episode is the Game Awards ortonight. We did our prediction for both
the awards and the trailers. Youcan check that out on both our podcast
feeds or the videos as well seeif we're right. Most likely will be
very wrong, especially with the announcements. Plus, please I don't leave it
