How are you all feeling?

As Brian put it,

we got a monster of an episode.

A chunker, if you will.

Because there is a lot to unpack.

Chunker feels weird.

Chunker.

A big hefty double dose of

::

films in black and white for you.

::

Sure.

::

You didn't like that?

::

No.

Why?

::

What was wrong with it?

::

I don't like the way you

::

said it in my ear.

::

Oh, okay, okay.

::

Cool, cool, cool.

::

But we are going to get into

::

Deadpool and Wolverine.

That's the main attraction, right?

::

Everybody got the tickets

::

But we also have...

::

San Diego Comic Con also happened.

::

And y'all,

::

So you might have got your

::

ticket for Deadpool Wolverine,

::

but you're also getting an

::

extra special treat.

Welcome to the show, boys and ladies.

But in order to do this right,

::

in order to do it well,

::

I need to tell you all,

::

spoiler alert for Deadman.

We're going to spoil a lot of it.

::

We will give you one more.

::

We'll give you one more spoiler warning,

::

but

::

::

am going to kick it on over

::

to marcus j destin aka

::

blade bitch uh how are you

::

feeling sir feeling good

::

it's good to be here with

::

my guys beginning of the

::

week for us if you're

::

listening on a wednesday

::

this is wednesday ignore

::

the movie magic um

::

There's a lot of Comic-Con,

::

a lot of stuff to consume.

::

It was a crazy, crazy,

::

crazy nerdy weekend.

::

It was a lot.

::

And I'm here for all of it.

::

I'm here for all of it.

::

But I'm just happy to be

::

here and share it with my guys, you know?

::

Absolutely.

::

Yeah, well, we're glad you're here.

::

You and I had a very special

::

treat for seeing this.

::

I'm excited to get into it.

::

Absolutely.

::

But Brian Roush, a.k.a.

::

Dance Pool.

::

That's me.

::

Brian, how are you feeling, sir?

::

Yeah.

::

I'm feeling great.

::

I'm feeling... It's the

::

bye-bye-bye vibes for me.

::

That's how I'm feeling.

::

This movie... It put me in

::

such a good mood.

::

And I'm just trying to ride

::

that for as long as I can.

::

And it's just... It's good.

::

I'll talk more about it.

::

But man...

::

this movie,

::

it hit on a lot of things that

::

of my childhood, but also like,

::

it also felt like it was

::

speaking to me as like a

::

critic for films in black and white,

::

which we'll get into.

::

But man, like just this whole weekend,

::

just,

::

it was like a Marvel Palooza and it

::

made me really happy.

::

It just, I don't know.

::

It just, it feels good.

::

The vibe feels different

::

about the MCU so that it just,

::

it feels good.

::

And I'm also super pumped

::

that you both got a private

::

showing in this movie.

::

Like that,

::

that has got to be one of the

::

high points.

::

It was wild.

::

Like the fact that it was wild as hell.

::

Uh, it was really cool.

::

So yeah,

::

we'll talk more about that here in

::

a second, but that was really,

::

really cool.

::

Um,

::

I too am also disappointed that Brian

::

was not announced as Dr.

::

Doom this weekend.

::

Um, so Brian, uh,

::

If you're disappointed,

::

we support you in that disappointment.

::

When people thought about

::

the Doctor Doom castings,

::

when people listed it out online,

::

they said Ben Mendelsohn,

::

the Skrull from Captain Marvel, they said

::

Mads Mikkelsen,

::

Giancarlo Esposito of Breaking Bad,

::

Brian Rauch.

::

The name was just in there

::

when you think of these actors.

::

I agree.

::

People are like,

::

I got to see this Rauch

::

everybody's talking about.

::

That handsome motherfucker

::

should have been new.

::

Yeah.

::

Can you believe this Roush?

::

That's what happened.

::

We weren't there to buzz you

::

up around the water cooler.

::

That's what happened.

::

It's all right.

::

It's all right.

::

We'll talk more about it.

::

And you got to go back a few

::

podcasts because at one

::

point I got so frustrated

::

with Dr. Doom casting news

::

that I was like, it's me.

::

Just shut up.

::

It's me.

::

Everybody, everyone be quiet.

::

Which also I'm very excited

::

to talk about because like

::

nobody got this right.

::

Nobody had the link.

::

Nobody had the exclusive.

::

all that BS from like,

::

I won't name the sites right now,

::

but a lot of the sites that are like,

::

we have inside information.

::

Like, no, you don't shut up.

::

Clearly you didn't stop it.

::

I'm so sorry that Brian

::

Roush was the impetus for

::

all not being got to do

::

terrible things that happened.

::

oh okay flooded basement

::

sucks I've I've been there

::

that is not I have to it's

::

not fun but I will say to

::

anybody going through it

::

like it's it's a one day at

::

a time situation it's don't

::

don't try to take it all at

::

once you'll yeah burn

::

yourself out so I hope I

::

I'm sending good vibes I

::

hope we can put on a good

::

show for you tonight

::

because I want to take at

::

least a little bit of that

::

a little bit of that away

::

at least hopefully we can do that

::

At least your third thing is

::

Brian not being Dr. Doom.

::

Yeah,

::

I appreciate that as a rule of three.

::

There's two things there.

::

I'm really happy that Brian

::

not being Dr. Doom is the third thing.

::

Thanks, Doug.

::

Well, just of the things that could happen,

::

there are worse third things.

::

I worked hard by doing zero

::

effort to get that role, okay?

::

Well, and it shows, Brian.

::

Yeah, it does.

::

Sometimes nepotism should kick in harder,

::

even though there's no nepotism.

::

Even though Brian's not related to anyone.

::

There's no nepotism.

::

Yeah, no, yeah.

::

But it should just kick in.

::

My grandpa, way back when,

::

when he worked on the railroad,

::

he tried to make a go of it in Hollywood.

::

Burned out.

::

He came back.

::

My dad's dad is from Latveria,

::

so I don't understand the problem here.

::

What did Remy Lebeau say?

::

Remember it.

::

That's all they need to do.

::

Remember it.

::

Who are you?

::

Who are you?

::

Doug, how are you, Doug?

::

Who the fuck?

::

Cerrone?

::

Paul Cerrone?

::

Doug Paul Cerrone.

::

How are you doing?

::

I'm doing real great because

::

I watched Jon Voight clips

::

from Anaconda today.

::

Oh, man.

::

They've made me so happy.

::

Angelina Jolie's dad.

::

Angelina Jolie's dad did a

::

really bad Hispanic accent

::

for a whole movie.

::

No, he didn't.

::

It's Angelina Jolie.

::

No, he said Angelina.

::

I'm going to run this back

::

because sometimes y'all be

::

telling me I'm wrong and

::

I'll run it back on the pot

::

day and I'll be very right sometimes.

::

He said Angelina Jolie.

::

Angelina Jolie.

::

I mean, Angelina.

::

So I didn't give it the Joe

::

that the French.

::

What is it, Brian?

::

What's her name?

::

Angelina Jolie.

::

I felt like he said it right.

::

Okay, wait a minute.

::

Am I wrong?

::

I thought her name was Angelina Jolene.

::

Oh, no.

::

It's not Jolene.

::

No, it's Jolie.

::

Is it Jolie?

::

J-O-L-E.

::

Angelina Jolie.

::

I've never said Jolie.

::

I don't know why I thought

::

that that was it.

::

Angelina Jolie.

::

Okay, my bad.

::

I was wrong.

::

What you talking about, Marcus?

::

I don't know.

::

But anyway,

::

this man did a whole-ass

::

Hispanic accent for an entire movie.

::

And then he looked at people like this.

::

Wait,

::

his character is supposed to be a

::

Latino heritage?

::

My AKA is his character's

::

name for this whole movie.

::

Wow.

::

You tell me.

::

Does that name sound like

::

you think you're in trouble?

::

Do you think that's... It's

::

been a long time.

::

It's like Tropic Thunder.

::

It's all over the place.

::

With less believability, basically.

::

It is shocking.

::

I bet Jennifer Lopez had no

::

problem with that.

::

I heard Ice Cube were like,

::

this motherfucker?

::

They had to be that way this whole movie.

::

Brian,

::

I am flabbergasted that you have not

::

seen that movie.

::

I would have thought of all

::

people on this podcast.

::

Yeah, that did shock me.

::

You would have seen it.

::

We got to add it to the you

::

haven't seen what list.

::

To be honest,

::

I don't want to put Brian on Front Street,

::

but to hear he hadn't seen

::

Sister Egg 1 and 2 and

::

Anaconda in the same week.

::

Why you got to do me like this?

::

That put you on the Doug

::

level of I can't believe

::

you a little bit.

::

My list is like 20 long.

::

Brian's was three until this

::

weekend where he crossed two of them off.

::

Let's not let me escape criticism here.

::

Doug is still Doug.

::

He's still the highest on

::

the motherfucker who should

::

see movies as a movie podcaster.

::

Yeah, he has not.

::

Brian was just more shocking like, oh,

::

Brian, come on, man.

::

I know.

::

Well, I mean, look,

::

I grew up in like some of

::

the whitest of the whitest suburbs.

::

And the only time I was

::

exposed to Sister Act was

::

like the movie poster in

::

the in the video in the video store.

::

And I was like,

::

that's Whoopi Goldberg as a nun anyway.

::

So when I said this,

::

because Maggie watched both

::

of the Deadpool movies with

::

me and it came out,

::

I hadn't seen Sister Act.

::

She was like after Deadpool,

::

like you get that Deadpool one and two.

::

But after that.

::

sister act and I was like

::

that's so maggie held my

::

hand and we went on a

::

sister act voyage and uh

::

yeah honestly great

::

wholesome movies like on

::

like I just I feel like our

::

world is so cynical now

::

that like if you made a

::

movie like that people

::

would be like this is so

::

cheesy and like like it's

::

way too earnest but like

::

man it's just so wholesome

::

because like whoopi

::

goldberg just wants to help

::

these people and she like

::

doesn't want to but then

::

she does I don't know it's

::

nice that's nice and

::

there's some singing I love

::

singing as we know from our

::

in the heights review um

::

which go check that out if

::

you want a good time yeah I

::

hear about antonio bandera

::

isn't it I'm so sorry I

::

didn't think that'd come up

::

You know what?

::

I'm more proud of it because

::

it was so wild that it's

::

like I have no choice but

::

to just wear it as a badge of honor.

::

Such a wild episode.

::

All right.

::

Yeah, for sure.

::

Also, Brian, to your credit,

::

Brittany has not seen Anaconda.

::

And when I showed her picture,

::

when I showed her clips of

::

Jon Voight's voice, she made this face.

::

She made the stink face and then she goes,

::

turn it off.

::

Just get it out of here.

::

I can't.

::

I'm going to make her watch

::

that and say it's because

::

you haven't seen it.

::

The hatred of Brian picks continue.

::

Excellent.

::

Excellent.

::

Roman Meyer is one of my

::

grandma's favorite movies.

::

Anaconda or?

::

I know, right?

::

Yeah.

::

Oddly enough, it's Anaconda.

::

Also,

::

so we have the chat going for those

::

that are listening to us on

::

our audio adventure.

::

You'll hear us reading

::

::

::

You can also join in the

::

conversation and get some

::

::

That's when I knew to get a new sump pump.

::

So welcome to sump pumps in

::

black and white.

::

Sump pump it up.

::

Home ownership in black and white.

::

I'm sorry Roman has had a rough 24 hours.

::

That's a rough go, man.

::

That's tough, man.

::

That is rough.

::

Well, gentlemen,

::

we have a whole ass podcast to get to.

::

We got a lot of ground to cover.

::

So I'm going to pivot on us on over,

::

excuse me,

::

to... Do not get your weekly

::

therapy from us.

::

Go to a certified therapist, please.

::

BetterHelp doesn't sponsor us.

::

We cannot help you.

::

They are so much better at this.

::

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

::

But we are going to play a

::

little game we like to play.

::

Catch that quotable.

::

Gentlemen, give me a minute.

::

This quote is a full-on paragraph.

::

I'm not kidding.

::

I'm going to start reading

::

this and then set the timer

::

because it's going to be a lot.

::

Is everybody ready to give

::

me their attention for the

::

paragraph that is this quote?

::

Hit me!

::

Hit me.

::

It is strange to think,

::

I haven't seen you since a month.

::

Thank you.

::

i next compete in the city

::

of paris I will find it

::

empty in the winter if you

::

are not there hope guides

::

me that is what gets me

::

through the day and

::

especially the night the

::

hope that after you're gone

::

from my sight it will not

::

be the last time that I

::

look upon you okay the only

::

detail someone's competing

::

in paris this is a rom-com

::

this is a love letter what

::

rom-coms have a competition in paris

::

Y'all, I think I know what this is.

::

You have to read it again.

::

I don't know what it is.

::

I will read it again,

::

but I think I know what this is.

::

Doug, read me your beautiful poetry.

::

It is strange to think I

::

haven't seen you since a month.

::

I have seen the new moon.

::

Oh, I know what this is.

::

I have seen sunsets and sunrises.

::

Nothing of your beautiful face.

::

The pieces of my broken

::

heart are so small they

::

could be passed through the

::

eye of a needle.

::

I miss you like the sun misses the flower,

::

like the sun misses the

::

flower in the depths of winter.

::

Instead of beauty to direct its light to,

::

the heart hardens like the

::

frozen world your absence

::

has banished me to.

::

I next compete in the city of Paris.

::

I will find it empty in the

::

winter if you are not there.

::

Hope guides me.

::

That is what gets me through

::

the day and especially the night.

::

The hope that after you're

::

gone from my sight,

::

it will not be the last

::

time that I look upon you.

::

I know what this is.

::

Do you want me to read it in

::

a southern accent?

::

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

::

no, no.

::

I have seen the new moon, but not you.

::

I have seen the sunsets and sunrises,

::

but nothing of your beautiful face.

::

That's disgusting.

::

That changed the whole vibe of the quote.

::

I'm going to put the timer on.

::

Pieces of my broken heart

::

are so tall they could be

::

passed through the avenue.

::

This feels like Tow Mater

::

doing this right now.

::

Yee-haw!

::

Oh, God.

::

And Paris works because there's a Paris,

::

Georgia.

::

Yeah, go ahead.

::

Start that timer.

::

I already started it when

::

you were on your... I don't

::

know what this is.

::

This is a Knight's Tale, right?

::

Oh,

::

Maggie's going to be so mad when she

::

listens.

::

Okay, that's one of her favorite movies.

::

This is a knight's tale.

::

We're just riding with it?

::

No, it's definitely a knight's tale.

::

It's definitely a knight's tale.

::

Funny enough,

::

when you did read it the second time,

::

so the first time when Doug read it,

::

he was reading it because

::

he didn't know what he was reading.

::

The second time he read it,

::

he read it with more confidence,

::

and then I felt it was the...

::

it's, it's that it's lovey dovey flowery,

::

like that kind of poetry language.

::

Yeah.

::

Poetry.

::

Yeah.

::

Paul Bettany writes the

::

letter that William sends.

::

Yeah.

::

That's right.

::

Vision writes the letter

::

that the Joker sends.

::

Yes, that's true.

::

Yes, that's right.

::

Almost every actor that a kid will know,

::

I was thinking about it

::

when Brian said that

::

trailer of Hugh Jackman.

::

um everybody in that trailer

::

has been in a comic book

::

movie so they will be

::

forever associated with oh

::

that's who plays amanda

::

waller yeah first uh road

::

and you know I mean like

::

that's what kids will

::

always associate people

::

with when they go back to

::

the classics now yep I

::

agree kind of crazy I'm not

::

gonna say it from jersey

::

shore because I've done

::

enough done enough accents

::

one accent pod for us yeah yeah

::

Well, there we go.

::

We got it, y'all.

::

How much money did we get now?

::

Where are we at?

::

I don't know.

::

We'll find out when he decides.

::

He must have left.

::

Unless he's withholding the

::

dollar amount until I say

::

it like I'm from a Jersey car.

::

No, he didn't.

::

We're at 90 whole dollars, baby.

::

Join us next week where we

::

will maybe hit the... I mean,

::

I won't be here, so maybe... I mean,

::

I didn't provide anything this week.

::

Okay.

::

What are we going to do?

::

I'm not going to be here either.

::

I'm boycotting.

::

You're boycotting.

::

You all don't want a Doug only episode.

::

Just turn into Larry King really quickly.

::

Why?

::

Midnight Suns issue.

::

I'll be smoking a cigarette

::

for some reason.

::

Have you ever thought about

::

how the world always gets

::

older and older but you don't?

::

Oh my god.

::

Yep, it's an hour and a half of that.

::

So strap in.

::

Gentlemen,

::

there is a little festival that

::

we like to call...

::

Comic Con.

::

I love that festival.

::

Favorite comic festival.

::

Favorite comic festival full

::

with balloons and clowns and rides.

::

But gentlemen,

::

we have San Diego Comic Con

::

took place over the weekend.

::

There were some large announcements.

::

So I'm going to actually

::

turn it over to Marcus because Marcus,

::

I think,

::

is the person who probably paid

::

the most attention out of

::

the three of us.

::

And so, hey,

::

Marcus, take it away.

::

Yeah, Brian, what's up?

::

I just want to say, before Marcus goes on,

::

we do have someone in the

::

chat that says if we could

::

get Doug to pre-record two

::

videos and interact with them for the pod,

::

we'll get a $100 donation.

::

90-minute monster and all.

::

What the fuck do you think of that?

::

Don't attack me like that.

::

I don't deserve this bullshit.

::

I'm just saying that is

::

something in the chat that

::

we can decide on at another point.

::

I think I'd decide yes.

::

Marcus, take it away.

::

Live from SDCC coverage.

::

Live from the San Diego Comic Festival.

::

I did a little bit of paying

::

attention because I was

::

interested to see what was

::

going to happen.

::

Marvel was back at Hall H

::

for their bigger reveals

::

and they really focused on

::

what seemed to be three movies,

::

four movies.

::

Three?

::

Three movies.

::

I'd say three.

::

Three movies at this time.

::

Really making some official,

::

official announcements.

::

Also, DC Comic Con was there,

::

so I'm going to just roll

::

through some of the things that we saw.

::

We got a lot of

::

announcements about the Fantastic Four,

::

which changed or added to their name.

::

It's called Fantastic Four First Steps,

::

and that's going to be

::

hitting theaters July 25th, 2025.

::

I do believe that it's a

::

double entendre for them getting their...

::

The director already said

::

that this movie is not going to pick up.

::

It's not going to show them

::

going to space and getting their powers.

::

It's going to show them like, yeah,

::

no origin story for us.

::

It's going to show them like

::

a little bit already

::

established and already

::

having their powers and

::

going from there a little bit.

::

And there was the trailer

::

did also leak online.

::

So you can go find that the

::

footage that they showed at

::

the Comic-Con of the Fantastic Four.

::

I did watch it and it looks really,

::

really good.

::

It does look very good.

::

It looks good, but like most, I mean,

::

I wasn't able to find like a clean cut.

::

So if like you're someone that's like,

::

I want the official thing.

::

This is not for you.

::

This is like smuggled,

::

smuggled point of view footage.

::

And it looked fine from what I saw.

::

But I definitely, I mean,

::

they've only been filming for a month.

::

So I was surprised they had

::

this much footage.

::

Yeah.

::

I mean, they showed a lot in the footage.

::

You get to see clear shots,

::

as clear as you can from a

::

phone to a screen.

::

But like clear shots of the Fantastic Four,

::

clear shots.

::

You get like a shadowy image

::

of what the thing kind of

::

will look like or resemble a little bit.

::

And it's like a lot of fun stuff there.

::

So they showed some of that.

::

They talked a little bit

::

about the cast on stage.

::

That was what that was.

::

Then they also got into a

::

little bit of the Thunderbolts,

::

kind of explaining what the

::

Thunderbolts story will be.

::

sebastian stan really took

::

the lead on that um you

::

kind of see he is going to

::

be the leader of the

::

thunderbolt it was

::

confirmed that he that

::

winter soldier is the

::

leader of the thunderbolts

::

according to one of the

::

trades I i think it was

::

variety but I was surprised

::

that they made such a

::

declaration about that yeah

::

yeah it was I and he went

::

on to say how like how

::

fantastic the cast is like

::

he's all like you know like

::

they're supposed to but yeah um

::

That movie is going to be coming soon.

::

I'm trying to see when the

::

date was for... I mean,

::

Thunderbolts is May.

::

May 5th, 2025.

::

It's less than a year, which is wild.

::

So it says it's supposed to

::

be like Yelena is depressed

::

and sad and that they all

::

basically get...

::

since on the same mission

::

but they don't know it and

::

so then they run into each

::

other and then they become

::

oh my gosh that sounds like

::

so much fun yeah yeah it's

::

like hunger games but like

::

oops you didn't know you

::

were competing oh my gosh

::

that sounds like so much fun yeah

::

And then one of the biggest

::

things that happened that

::

night was Robert Downey Jr.

::

made a guest appearance.

::

Well, first, before we even got there,

::

the Russo brothers who

::

directed Avengers Endgame

::

and Infinity War are back officially.

::

So they will be directing

::

what is now going to be

::

Avengers Doomsday and

::

Avengers Secret Wars.

::

And for Avengers Doomsday,

::

you guessed it's going to

::

be about Dr. Doom, I'm guessing,

::

or the introduction of Dr. Doom.

::

I did see another report

::

that said Doomsday will also wrap up

::

Kang storyline too as well.

::

Interesting.

::

And so you'll have those two

::

movies directed by the Russo brothers.

::

We're just going to open up

::

with a shot of Jonathan Majors in jail.

::

Look, we wrapped it up.

::

Oh my god.

::

Anyway.

::

Go ahead.

::

No, I...

::

Honestly,

::

I've been wondering how Marvel's

::

going to do this, and it makes me laugh,

::

because, like,

::

I don't think they can be mean about it.

::

I just don't feel like

::

that's what the MCU could do,

::

but also at the same time,

::

you gave me this mental picture of, like,

::

before they do, like, the big, you know,

::

triumphant opening music, it's just like,

::

okay, we know.

::

It's just Kevin Feige.

::

It's like Kevin Feige going, like,

::

Yeah, it's just like the deep breath.

::

well, there's the movie.

::

He doesn't say anything.

::

He just goes.

::

There's a scroll at the

::

bottom that says Kevin

::

Feige speaks about Jonathan Majors.

::

You can kind of put it together,

::

but nothing official.

::

It's weird because it's going to say,

::

it usually says,

::

you'll see this hero again

::

in the Avengers Infinity War.

::

It doesn't want to say,

::

Jonathan Majors is not coming back.

::

That's it.

::

No one has seen it since.

::

But, yeah,

::

so then it was announced that the big bad,

::

the biggest bad that we've

::

all been waiting for,

::

who's going to play Dr. Doom,

::

is going to be played by

::

none other than Robert Downey Jr.,

::

who's going to be making

::

his triumphant return where he said,

::

new mask, same task.

::

And so, yeah, he back.

::

He won all his awards and

::

then bought his ass right back.

::

I think the funniest part

::

about this is Gwyneth Paltrow,

::

who tweeted underneath like

::

a post of his making the announcements,

::

was like, I don't get it.

::

Are you a baddie now?

::

Yeah.

::

So, yeah, that was pretty cool.

::

That's definitely on par for

::

Gwyneth Paltrow.

::

Yeah,

::

she doesn't know what's going on in

::

Marvel.

::

Avengers Doomsday will come out May 2026.

::

Avengers Secret War will

::

come out May 2027.

::

So that's it for the Avengers stuff,

::

and then I can kind of get into...

::

Well, why don't we take a pit stop here?

::

Because I feel like Rousseau

::

is coming back for Secret

::

Wars and Doomsday.

::

And to clarify,

::

Secret Wars is now the

::

sixth Avengers movie.

::

It was the fifth.

::

It's now the sixth.

::

And now Doomsday is taking

::

that Secret Wars spot,

::

if I'm understanding it correctly,

::

which was previously Kang's dynasty.

::

So...

::

The other thing that is

::

obviously we have Robert Downey Jr.

::

And then Stephen McFeely was

::

announced that he will be

::

writing Secret Wars and Doomsday.

::

Oh, yeah.

::

And he wrote Infinity War and Game.

::

I mean, he did Captain America Civil War.

::

He's done Winter Soldier.

::

He's done quite a bit of Marvel.

::

Let's just leave it at that.

::

So let's take a pit stop.

::

How do we feel about all this?

::

Uh, I feel... Okay, here's my thing.

::

I was kind of defending it last night,

::

playing devil's advocate.

::

I see why this makes sense

::

to bring our DJ back into

::

this world and into this role.

::

I think that there is very...

::

split reviews but I can see

::

how this could be very

::

successful it's a cheat

::

code to go with the Russo

::

brothers plus Robert Downey Jr.

::

because we saw the successes

::

of the Russo brothers and

::

Robert Downey Jr.

::

the first time and it seems

::

like that's what Marvel is

::

trying to get back to

::

I don't think that they

::

needed this if they would

::

have just done Fantastic Four, right?

::

Yeah.

::

You could have found somebody else.

::

What I hope,

::

and then I'm going to pass the mic,

::

is that Robert Downey Jr.

::

variant dies.

::

He does his thing, does his big work.

::

He dies,

::

and they introduce a Doom that is

::

inspired,

::

that thinks he was smarter than

::

Tony and Reed,

::

and it's the actual Doom variant.

::

victor von doom of this

::

universe but you gotta you

::

gotta have this inspiration

::

first that then takes over

::

the technology and makes it

::

his own like that kind of

::

realm that's what I hope

::

right doug go ahead no doug

::

go um brian no I i haven't

::

oh look I'll say this I have an open mind

::

There is,

::

this is classic Marvel where

::

they'll drop a bombshell,

::

but there are no context clues.

::

It's just like, here's who's playing them.

::

Bye.

::

Like that's literally all this was.

::

There was no like,

::

and here's a little bit of the story.

::

Or if you're curious,

::

read fantastic for six 37.

::

Like there was none of that.

::

Yeah.

::

So because there is no additional context,

::

um,

::

I have to say that I am a

::

little disappointed by the announcement.

::

And I'm a little... Not

::

because I don't feel like

::

Robert Downey Jr.

::

is good for the MCU.

::

I would say not that I don't

::

think the Russo brothers

::

are good for the MCU.

::

I mean, they obviously have this...

::

piece of it,

::

like they have this corner

::

that's carved out for them

::

where they did such a great job.

::

My concern is

::

What new things can we

::

expect them to give us?

::

Yeah.

::

Good question.

::

Great question.

::

All I have is questions.

::

Did you know he was supposed

::

to play Dr. Doom in the

::

2005 Fantastic Four?

::

Was he really?

::

Robert Downey Jr.

::

was almost played Dr. Doom in that.

::

I can tell you the route

::

that I want this to go that

::

would make me happy is that

::

he is not a Tony variant.

::

And that we actually never

::

see his face and that this

::

is literally he is playing

::

a Victor Von Doom,

::

but because he can do the voice well,

::

he can do the mannerisms well,

::

he can capture that sort of

::

like gravitas that I would

::

expect Victor Von Doom to have.

::

If he is a Tony variant,

::

then I am with Marcus.

::

If they do not kill him off,

::

I'm not going to be happy

::

with this choice overall.

::

Oh, man.

::

Okay.

::

Wow.

::

And he has to die.

::

I'm sorry.

::

He has to.

::

You cannot keep RDJ around

::

to just be this ever living.

::

Right.

::

thing because Tony died

::

either way you take away

::

from the sacrifice that was

::

made if he lives you ruin

::

the fact that oh fuck

::

that's our hero walking

::

around as a villain now and

::

if he dies I don't like he

::

has to die there is no other option

::

I don't know what else there is.

::

Yes.

::

I honestly, this is a decision that like,

::

I, I said this in our chat,

::

but this is this type of casting decision,

::

this type of idea of casting a,

::

one of your most well-known

::

protagonists for 10, 10 movies.

::

as the major villain this is

::

it it's a do or die moment

::

for marvel and I'm not

::

trying to be like I'm not

::

trying to exaggerate or be

::

hyperbolic but I think I do

::

think um they listen to our

::

podcast I'm kidding I do

::

think they know I do think they do what i

::

I feel like the MCU knows or

::

the folks that are involved

::

with it know the audience

::

feedback and they

::

understand that people have

::

not really enjoyed the

::

multiverse saga because

::

it's felt very disconnected.

::

And if you're looking for

::

something to make a splash

::

and like regain some of that viewership,

::

I understand why you choose

::

Robert Downey Jr.

::

Oh, for sure.

::

Like, I get it.

::

It's a name we all know who are fans,

::

but you risk alienating

::

this group of people kind

::

of like us who are like,

::

we've been here the whole time,

::

and you're bringing back somebody...

::

Who had probably one of the

::

most perfect send-offs in a

::

movie franchise ever.

::

Like a full circle moment.

::

He ends his first movie that

::

kicks off the whole fucking

::

thing with I Am Iron Man.

::

And he finishes it right

::

before he snaps his fingers

::

with the same line.

::

Yeah.

::

And it's perfect.

::

It's perfect.

::

And it was sad and and and painful.

::

But it was it was perfect.

::

So I think you have a huge task.

::

Like it's a double edged sword.

::

Yes,

::

you get all these people that are

::

hyped about Robert Downey Jr.,

::

myself included.

::

But how you make a

::

performance and a story to

::

make people not bring all

::

that baggage to doom.

::

It's hard.

::

You fight with one hand behind your back.

::

Yeah.

::

is a gargantuan task and

::

look robert downey jr I'm

::

not gonna bet against him

::

because this man was like

::

I'm gonna put the whole mcu

::

on my back and I'm gonna

::

make it work for 10 years

::

and he did and then he said

::

I'm done I'm gonna go get

::

an oscar and he did and he

::

did and so now he's back

::

and he's saying he also did

::

dr do little in that time

::

he had time to talk to

::

animals oh yeah for sure

::

I'm not going to bet against him.

::

No, no, no, no.

::

You can't bet against him.

::

Go ahead, Marcus.

::

No, no, go ahead.

::

You can't bet against him.

::

but I think we're all one of

::

the constant problems of that.

::

We've heard time and time

::

again from some corners of

::

folks who have tried to

::

watch pieces of the multiverse saga.

::

And that's the best way to

::

put it is this is confusing.

::

Is that the person I know?

::

Is that a different person?

::

And my fear,

::

my knee-jerk reaction worry is

::

what better way than to

::

more thoroughly confuse

::

those folks than to say,

::

here's Robert Downey Jr.

::

Because if you see his face,

::

I can see it now.

::

There are going to be wives

::

and girlfriends who go to

::

these movies for the first time.

::

And they're going to go,

::

we watched this yesterday.

::

Didn't he die?

::

And they're going to be like, no, no, no,

::

no, no.

::

That's a different person.

::

That's a conversation that's coming.

::

Yeah.

::

That is going to be a post

::

dinner pre movie conversation.

::

Yes.

::

Repeated millions of times.

::

That is a driving back from

::

a car and you are like, oh man,

::

it was so good, babe.

::

What did you think about it?

::

And she goes, oh yeah, it was fun.

::

but I thought Robert Downey Jr.

::

died.

::

Then they're going to be

::

doing dishes a week later.

::

And they're going to be like,

::

but how can he come back

::

and play the same person?

::

Because it's not like, that's,

::

this is what's happening.

::

No, it doesn't happen.

::

Okay.

::

I'm going to play devil's advocate.

::

Oh, great.

::

To what though?

::

To what?

::

I only got little pieces

::

because I ain't got much

::

because I'm in full

::

agreeance with what y'all saying.

::

I'm going to say this is not

::

the devil's advocate part.

::

I like this.

::

I understand it.

::

business wise strictly

::

business wise you're right

::

brian is absolutely correct

::

this is do or fucking die

::

that's it that's the bottom

::

line yeah what do you do

::

when it's do or fucking die

::

you go back to your bread

::

and butter baby yeah I mean

::

whose hands do you put it

::

in to win the championship

::

you put it in kobe's hands

::

you like that you put it in

::

the here's the thing here's

::

my advocacy you put it in

::

the all right doug wagner

::

you are kevin feige

::

You need to make a move that

::

Marvel has been slipping

::

because in the chat, Brian Roush,

::

didn't we make the list of

::

Phase 5 movies that on

::

paper look like they should have hit

::

But it really was like

::

throwing bullshit at a wall.

::

Is that correct?

::

That is the vibe of Phase 5.

::

It should have worked, and it didn't.

::

Yes, it should have worked, but it didn't.

::

Now, Doug,

::

you know your Phase 5 in the

::

midst of all the Disney bullshit,

::

Disney fighting Florida,

::

Disney fighting Chapstick,

::

Disney just doing too

::

goddamn much at once.

::

you know it's do or die

::

everybody's saying the

::

public's saying Marvel is

::

dead these motherfuckers

::

done fell off this is

::

before Deadpool and

::

Wolverine because these

::

talks have been in they've

::

been in talks for a while

::

they've been in discussions

::

to make this comeback for a

::

while because the rumors

::

were always there we just

::

didn't think he was coming

::

back literally actually two

::

weeks before this

::

announcement I dropped it

::

in the chat and Brian said

::

this is so comic booky I

::

don't think that they could

::

do it it's true

::

Right?

::

It seems like a lot.

::

I'm going to go down this list.

::

Thank you, Brian.

::

Ant-Man and the Wasp, Quantumania,

::

February 17, 2023.

::

Guardians of the Galaxy, Volume 3,

::

May 5th,

::

2023.

::

The Marvels, November 10th, 2023.

::

Deadpool and Wolverine, July 26th, 2024.

::

Captain America Brave New World,

::

February 14th, 2025.

::

And Thunderbolts, May 2nd, 2025.

::

That is your Phase 5.

::

With your first three movies,

::

the best of the three is

::

the one that's most

::

disconnected from them all,

::

which is Guardians of the Galaxy,

::

Volume 3.

::

Is everybody with me still?

::

I'm with you.

::

It's a business decision.

::

So I understand a business

::

decision of being like, listen,

::

like Doug said,

::

who hand do you put it in

::

when it's time to go to the fucking ring?

::

I'm going Braun, Braun.

::

Okay?

::

I'm going Braun.

::

Now, who else's hands do you put it in?

::

Braun with a championship ring.

::

Yeah.

::

With an Oscar.

::

He doesn't have many of those.

::

He...

::

What the fuck?

::

What the fuck?

::

Oh, wow.

::

Why would you toss a hand

::

grenade into a situation like this?

::

Because I'm here for chaos, baby!

::

What the fuck?

::

It ain't me you gotta see.

::

It's LeBron James.

::

Yeah, that's fine.

::

He doesn't have a bag of

::

weights he can bring.

::

Yeah, bring your basketballs.

::

He don't.

::

He's just gonna dunk on your

::

punk ass in your parking

::

lot in your driveway.

::

What if I don't stand there?

::

So you're going to give it

::

to LeBron fucking James.

::

Oscar winning RDJ who just

::

was in fucking I don't know.

::

Or his performance in Space Jam 2.

::

But you're going to give it to him

::

Because now he's got some

::

dirt on his name to be

::

Oscar winning RDJ coming

::

back to Marvel to play Dr. Doom.

::

Is it my first choice?

::

No,

::

but I can see the direction because the

::

stories you can tell from that alone.

::

First of all, Pedro Pascal.

::

And RDJ on screen together.

::

Absolutely.

::

That's got to happen.

::

Spider-Man, Tom Holland,

::

facing the face of his mentor,

::

his father figure.

::

Now a villain and a baddie.

::

That's got to happen.

::

All of the former Avengers

::

having to face the smartest

::

fucking man on the planet.

::

OK,

::

you got to face that now in the face of

::

a villain who knows the ins and outs,

::

who knows he can use that against you.

::

You got to go to dinner that evening like,

::

oh, yeah,

::

I hate to punch Tony in the face.

::

But what else are we going to do?

::

This motherfucker is causing

::

like wreaking havoc.

::

I get it.

::

I get the business decision.

::

I see where you could go with the stories.

::

Is it my favorite?

::

No.

::

Go ahead, Doug.

::

I have nothing.

::

It's I you're not I mean,

::

you're not wrong.

::

I see the business decision.

::

And I guess I shouldn't be

::

surprised that Disney's

::

making a financial choice

::

because Disney is still Disney.

::

Disney's still dizzy.

::

They still need to.

::

There has still been increased pressure,

::

especially since new Bob

::

took over for all of this

::

to sort of the days of

::

putting it out fast,

::

the days of doing it.

::

quickly without any care.

::

Like all of that are the days gone by.

::

Also not surprising that we

::

see Robert Downey Jr.

::

Back in the saddle with a

::

Bob Iger in charge.

::

Great point.

::

Surprising there.

::

So this is, this is everybody.

::

This is, this is every,

::

this is the Rolling Stones.

::

Playing their classic hits.

::

I have another point.

::

Yes.

::

To that point.

::

What did Bob Iger say?

::

There was going to be a lot

::

more of when it came to

::

movies within Disney.

::

All sequels, baby.

::

Sequels and spin-offs.

::

So what is this then?

::

What do you call this?

::

This is a glorified fucking sequel.

::

I mean, it's a sequel performance.

::

Is that what you said?

::

It's a fucking encore

::

because Bob Iger wants to

::

make fucking money.

::

Yeah.

::

Yeah.

::

I don't, I don't disagree.

::

And I feel like this is, it's so,

::

it's so safe.

::

It's so safe.

::

And I'm not, I don't know.

::

I'm willing to give it a chance,

::

but I also understand the

::

criticism that I'm reading,

::

especially since we know Giancarlo,

::

or Giancarlo,

::

Giancarlo Esposito.

::

Thank you.

::

I was struggling with that.

::

We know he met with Marvel

::

and his team said that he

::

met about Dr. Doom.

::

Ben Mendelsohn said that he

::

would give his teeth to play Dr. Doom.

::

Those were the two confirmed

::

in interviews that we knew

::

had interest and at least

::

had a conversation with Marvel.

::

Everything else was just

::

totally up in the air.

::

So like, I just, I guess I want to,

::

the thing that I'm curious about,

::

obviously, RDJ is a business decision.

::

But how did they get there?

::

And I can't wait for that book.

::

That's what I want to know.

::

Yeah.

::

Like that won't come out for

::

another 10 years.

::

We're not going to know that

::

until the movie comes out.

::

Who talked to each other first?

::

Was it RDJ and the Russo

::

brothers or was it?

::

I mean,

::

what did Kevin Feige see that he's like,

::

we got to call him.

::

We got to call Tony.

::

Like, right.

::

Like, what did he see?

::

What did he see on the board

::

that he's like, we got to get RDJ back.

::

Like, was it a, was it an audition?

::

Was it a certain vibe?

::

Was it a creative decision?

::

Cause like something

::

happened and it's very hard

::

for me to believe they

::

didn't have enough talent.

::

Cause I bet a ton of people

::

would have loved a doctor

::

that I would have loved to see.

::

Try it.

::

Yeah.

::

But if this is the end of your, all right,

::

this is me, my theory.

::

And I know we got to move on.

::

This is the end of this

::

version and iteration of

::

the MCU before the mutants

::

come and take over everything.

::

Right.

::

Good point.

::

Do you want to start a new story, I guess,

::

with this new actor of a

::

familiar character?

::

Or is it better to just do

::

somebody you know?

::

Because we've already introduced variants.

::

We know that they exist.

::

We said this a long time ago.

::

Variants are a cop-out.

::

Whenever I'm ready to recast,

::

whenever I'm ready to pull

::

anybody else that I fucking

::

want to in because I can...

::

Marvel was the smartest by

::

introducing a variant and

::

everybody was like, yep.

::

Just like they did with nanotech.

::

Yep.

::

Everybody was, they,

::

nobody questioned when the

::

actual costumes,

::

you pull a mask over and

::

nobody got to touch any,

::

like you had to pull it over.

::

Nobody said nothing.

::

When in infinity war, that motherfucker,

::

Tony touched his chest and

::

everything had to right back.

::

You know what I mean?

::

I feel like this is the end

::

of this certain iteration

::

of this 616 timeline.

::

And then when you get to

::

Secret Wars and Tony and

::

this Doctor Doom variant

::

style is the one that is

::

the final toe-to-toe

::

whatever the fuck it is.

::

And they reboot this motherfucker.

::

Yeah.

::

I think you don't want to do

::

nothing with nobody new.

::

You can introduce a new doom

::

on this earth because at a later point,

::

but I think that's maybe

::

that's what they saw.

::

Yeah.

::

Yeah.

::

That's right.

::

You asked me a pointed question.

::

Then we'll move on.

::

The question you asked was

::

if I'm Kevin Feige,

::

what decision am I making differently?

::

And I can tell you the chief among them,

::

the decision I'm making differently.

::

which is I am not treating

::

Dr. Doom like it was a

::

rushed homework assignment

::

that I woke up on Monday

::

morning and forgot about

::

when I had a whole fucking

::

weekend to figure it out.

::

I don't think that's fair, Doug,

::

and I don't think that's fair,

::

and I don't think that's true.

::

Let me tell you why it's not

::

fair and it's not true.

::

Because you're forgetting.

::

Okay, I would agree with you.

::

I'm an elephant.

::

On a homeboy level, I agree with you.

::

OK,

::

on a we work in systems and I hate to

::

do that.

::

There are more people that

::

are above you that Kevin

::

Feige ain't in all control

::

as we think he is.

::

So when the big,

::

big dog says we need to

::

make money and it better

::

knock it out the park.

::

What are you going to do?

::

I'm going to my bread and fucking butter.

::

And sometimes I don't have a

::

say so in that.

::

Bob Iger's the one that said

::

we're doing more sequels

::

and I thoroughly believe he

::

meant that shit by do what you know.

::

With his whole chest.

::

Do what you know.

::

We need to make it out of

::

the park and do what you know.

::

Here's the reason why I push back on that.

::

It's because we know the process.

::

We know because there was a

::

whole ass book written about it.

::

We know the process where

::

they sit there and they

::

don't plan out the next two.

::

They plan them in phases.

::

Right.

::

and so what I what I am

::

wondering is there are

::

times where we have talked

::

about it on this podcast

::

where we have said this is

::

a great chance for you to

::

just introduce that idea

::

and not to like pivot us

::

into the movie we're going

::

to talk about we thought it

::

was possible in Deadpool

::

and Wolverine we were like

::

maybe there are from the

::

footage we saw so there's a

::

part of me that's like you

::

could have teased this guy

::

being there somewhere right

::

And you didn't?

::

Not with Jonathan Majors.

::

I'm sorry.

::

And you're right.

::

You're absolutely right.

::

That is the stick in our bicycle tires.

::

It throws everybody off the ride.

::

It is what it is.

::

But that's kind of where I go,

::

what would I have done differently?

::

I don't know.

::

I guess...

::

laid the foundation a little bit more,

::

but that's,

::

that's if all things are perfect.

::

If I had,

::

and that's with hindsight being 2020,

::

I would have been like,

::

I would have laid the

::

foundation a bit more

::

because then we could maybe

::

see where you're going

::

because this is an abrupt announcement.

::

Like there are a lot of

::

people are excited about it.

::

There are some people who

::

are scratching their heads.

::

And there are some folks who are like,

::

what the fuck?

::

This is such a big thing.

::

Let's be honest.

::

It's a business decision and a Band-Aid.

::

Because Jonathan Majors,

::

you had to fix the Kang situation.

::

Yes.

::

Because your Avengers movie

::

was called Avengers Kang Dynasty.

::

It was an entire movie about fucking Kang,

::

not Doom.

::

And I don't think Doom was

::

supposed to come until...

::

maybe the second Fantastic

::

Four film or Phase Six later on.

::

They had to expedite shit

::

and this was the band-aid of being like,

::

hey, hey, look at this.

::

You see that?

::

Yeah.

::

Also,

::

the fact that it's not in a

::

post-credits tease or it's

::

not in a cameo reveal,

::

I think it's also something

::

to take note of here.

::

They want people to know

::

this is coming and you

::

don't even have to go see a movie.

::

It's nothing like the Thanos reveal.

::

right and I feel like that's

::

also really telling and the

::

other the last thing I

::

think I'll say on this is

::

like what when I used to

::

watch professional

::

wrestling um this is going

::

somewhere I promise no no

::

uh yeah like basically if

::

there's a match canceled

::

for any reason and you

::

gotta you gotta book a new

::

match you that new match

::

has to have better talent right

::

Yes, it has on both sides.

::

Yes.

::

Regardless of what the previous match was,

::

no matter how good it was,

::

the new match has to have

::

better talent because you

::

need to have people forget

::

what you were going to go

::

see and be more hyped about

::

what they're going to see

::

that they don't really care

::

that the match got canceled.

::

They get to see this.

::

And I feel like that is part

::

of the philosophy here,

::

because I'll be honest,

::

it worked on me in the

::

moment of just like, I don't care.

::

I don't care about Kang.

::

I don't care about majors.

::

I like RDJ is going to be Dr. Doom.

::

Like that's that's wild.

::

Yeah.

::

So it worked at least on me in the moment.

::

We'll see how it lasts and

::

how general audiences are OK with it.

::

Like I'm waiting for my mom

::

to be super confused.

::

She's going to hear RDJ is coming back,

::

but she does not follow the MCU at all.

::

But she sees the movies here and there.

::

I'm waiting for her to be like,

::

but he's Iron Man.

::

So fascinated to see how

::

this goes with general.

::

Yeah.

::

Yeah.

::

And, and who knows,

::

maybe this is their announcement, but,

::

telling us what we expect to

::

see when fantastic four

::

does come out next year.

::

Like this is them leaving,

::

leaving Reese's pieces to

::

get us to follow them to

::

where they want us to go.

::

I mean, that's a great point.

::

Yeah.

::

It's to me.

::

Yep.

::

All right.

::

Um,

::

we do need to get into Deadpool and

::

Wolverine.

::

There are a lot more

::

announcements from San Diego comic-con,

::

um,

::

Marcus and I can break them down next

::

week a bit more.

::

Um, since that's like a news episode,

::

some of the DC stuff specifically.

::

So I don't want to, those who are DC fans,

::

I don't want to like short

::

change you cause there's a

::

lot to unpack there,

::

but we do have a whole ass

::

movie to get to.

::

So this is your second spoiler warning.

::

We are about to spoil the

::

fuck out of this.

::

So if you have not seen

::

Deadpool and Wolverine,

::

this is a great place to

::

pause and come back at a later date.

::

Gentlemen,

::

who would like to give us their

::

barbershop synopsis for

::

Deadpool and Wolverine?

::

Brian, you want to?

::

Yeah, I got it.

::

You know what?

::

Sure.

::

I'll take my hand.

::

All right.

::

What had happened was that

::

Deadpool is now he doesn't

::

know what to do with his life.

::

He wants to matter.

::

And that's one of the main

::

things going on in this movie is

::

and uh all of a sudden one

::

day the tva picks him up

::

and they say hey we we need

::

your help we need your help

::

to to get you back in the

::

main in the main universe

::

but the only thing it's

::

going to cost you is all of

::

your friends and family

::

deadpool does not like that

::

so he then proceeds to

::

fight back against the tva

::

where he then ends up in

::

the void essentially where

::

aliath is where

::

where all the rejects are,

::

all rejects you could ever think of,

::

whether it's from Fox,

::

whether it's maybe it

::

wasn't even made yet.

::

Any characters you can

::

imagine are in the void and

::

Wolverine shows up

::

Because Deadpool is trying

::

to get Wolverine back to

::

his timeline because he's

::

technically an anchor being,

::

which might sound similar

::

to a Nexus being for any of

::

our comic readers.

::

That's why Deadpool's universe is dying.

::

His Wolverine died.

::

And because of that,

::

his universe will eventually collapse.

::

So this movie is then spent

::

trying to get Deadpool and

::

Wolverine back to their home universe.

::

And I'm going to say some hijinks ensue.

::

That's a great job.

::

You didn't bury the lead.

::

It was perfect.

::

Yeah, so well done.

::

That was great, Brian.

::

Good job.

::

Thanks.

::

Brian,

::

you have the box office off the top

::

of your head, right?

::

And Brian,

::

can you also pull those numbers

::

of who was closest?

::

Yeah,

::

we're going to have to have a chat

::

because, yeah, let's see here.

::

Cause I was looking at it.

::

So I'm going to explain this

::

while Brian's looking that up.

::

So, so number one,

::

shout out to the Vermilion theater,

::

our local town.

::

They offered Doug and I, Brian too,

::

if he was here, but Doug and I got to see,

::

have a private showing with

::

the crew of the Vermilion theater,

::

the coyote twin right here.

::

um of Deadpool and the

::

Wolverine on Wednesday so

::

we were able to go in um

::

literally it was just us

::

and and the crew and we got

::

to you know get popcorn

::

like we normally would sit

::

in our in our infamous

::

seats that we're always

::

sitting in um and really

::

just laugh as loud as we

::

wanted to and they knew who

::

we were like they know who

::

we are we you know we work

::

with them we have some

::

exciting stuff coming yeah

::

I know right thank god

::

because any other theater

::

would have kicked our asses out

::

But they know we've got some

::

fun stuff planned with them

::

of an upcoming festival

::

we're going to be talking

::

about here on the podcast, too,

::

and things like that,

::

things of that nature.

::

Hopefully,

::

soon we've got to write about Brian.

::

But we were able to watch the movie,

::

and it was like a little late midday,

::

late night showing.

::

We got out a little bit late,

::

and it was such a good time.

::

So just shout out to Shannon

::

Cole and that entire team

::

for just welcoming us with

::

open arms and rolling out

::

the red carpet for us.

::

yeah absolutely um brian got

::

that number and then I'll

::

do cast I sure do the total

::

domestically for deadpool

::

was 211 million if you

::

listen to the episode last

::

week we did a secret

::

envelope uh I wagered it

::

would make 160 million doug

::

wagered 286 million and

::

marcus wagered 290 million oh

::

So none of us were like super duper close.

::

The closest was me,

::

but I was under by like quite a bit.

::

Dog was almost there with 286.

::

So, so yeah, we were kind of,

::

we were kind of there.

::

We had a range.

::

we were in the neighborhood

::

like we weren't necessarily

::

at the house but we were in

::

the neighborhood so I'll

::

give it to us yeah um and

::

it made 444 million

::

worldwide so this is the

::

highest r-rated opening of

::

all time domestic and yeah jesus

::

So let's run down cast.

::

So Ryan Reynolds plays Wade Wilson.

::

Hugh Jackman plays Logan Wolverine.

::

Emma Corrin plays Cassandra Nova.

::

Paul Mullen,

::

a forward for the Welsh football team,

::

Wrexham AFC, plays Welsh pool.

::

That's amazing.

::

And so, yeah, that's a cast.

::

So there you go.

::

And there are some other people in there,

::

too, where there are characters you see,

::

but they're not officially credited,

::

like Lady Deathstrike was in there.

::

Not as if there was no

::

official credit because

::

there were no speaking lines.

::

It was more of a cameo type of deal.

::

Gentlemen,

::

thoughts on Deadpool and Wolverine?

::

I mean, where do you want to start?

::

I think if you have a movie,

::

and we don't typically rate it,

::

I would say a 9 out of 10.

::

Easy.

::

Easy 9 out of 10.

::

this okay this movie is a

::

lot of things and I also

::

feel like it was hyped as a

::

certain thing and I went

::

into this movie with the

::

expectation that it was

::

gonna like do some

::

janitorial work on the MCU

::

and it didn't and I am

::

actually very happy about

::

that this movie overall

::

like yeah there's an

::

emotional core to it but

::

I'm gonna be honest with

::

you it's probably the least

::

involved emotional core of

::

any Deadpool movie like

::

He feels like he wants to matter.

::

We go through the most basic

::

steps with that.

::

But then the TVA comes and

::

like everything goes to hell.

::

And that's fine.

::

I think the thing that this

::

movie does so well, though,

::

is acknowledging how much

::

fans love this stuff.

::

And I feel like that matters.

::

And it also acknowledges

::

this like super messy time.

::

that Fox had trying to make

::

superhero movies.

::

The good, the bad, the ugly,

::

and the ones that never got made.

::

And I wasn't expecting a movie like that.

::

And by the end of it, it just felt like...

::

I felt very seen as a comic

::

book fan because it just, it was like,

::

great.

::

Other people remember that

::

like these movies,

::

these movies mattered a

::

while ago before the MCU,

::

like the MCU owes its creation.

::

I think in my opinion to a

::

lot of what Fox did.

::

And it was nice to see that

::

almost as like a love

::

letter and a thank you

::

letter to those movies in a

::

Deadpool movie.

::

And it was different than what I expected,

::

but I really enjoyed myself.

::

yeah well said I think this

::

movie this movie did I mean

::

you're right brian this

::

movie could have been like

::

he's running around taking

::

care of loose ends and it's

::

really he's working for

::

like he's working for

::

disney in the most like

::

fourth wall break meadow

::

way it could have been

::

But what I loved about this

::

is that this movie treated

::

so many of those characters

::

that we grew up with with

::

such a level of reverence

::

and care and tried to bring

::

them and lift them up as

::

much as possible that I

::

really was really happy

::

with how they did it.

::

I also think that this is...

::

This was a movie that I

::

don't think this was a

::

movie that necessarily

::

Disney wanted to make.

::

I think this was a movie that I agree.

::

Ryan Reynolds and Hugh

::

Jackman talked Kevin into and said,

::

we can do and we can do and levy.

::

We can do something really special here.

::

Yes.

::

And there was enough of a

::

thread and enough of

::

something going on that they were like,

::

yeah, go for it.

::

Because this movie is.

::

vulgar which checks a box

::

for me this movie is

::

violent like it is like

::

this movie is a lot of

::

things there are some

::

parents that are about to

::

bring their kids to a

::

Marvel movie over the

::

course of the next two

::

weeks and they are gonna be

::

like driving home having to

::

do a lot of explaining um

::

and so I was just really

::

pleased with like how they

::

executed this because for

::

all intents and purpose

::

this could have gone off

::

the rails like this could

::

have like been yeah all

::

over the place but man it

::

was it was really really

::

well done and I a tip of

::

the hat to everybody

::

involved because I think

::

they they really they

::

pulled it off and they nailed it so yeah

::

Yeah.

::

Yeah.

::

I think I will add one more

::

V just because I'm a man of alliteration.

::

But it was it was vulgar.

::

It was violent,

::

but it was also vulnerable

::

because you have certain

::

scenes in there where it allows.

::

Thank you.

::

It allows you to analyze

::

these characters in all of

::

the ways that I think people,

::

including myself, were concerned.

::

it was so meta in itself.

::

It like in its layers of like,

::

how would you,

::

how could they bring back

::

Wolverine when he had a perfect ending,

::

kind of the same

::

conversation we just had

::

about RDJ a little bit.

::

Right.

::

Of how can you bring back

::

this character that meant so much to us?

::

Oh, easy.

::

He was the anchor for this universe and no,

::

he's really dead.

::

Like he's gone.

::

Right.

::

And this person is the opposite of that.

::

Oh, okay.

::

I see why they picked RDJ.

::

I see why they did it.

::

I think they picked it

::

because they saw it work in this movie.

::

Because Kevin Feige did have

::

an interview about bringing

::

back older characters only

::

if you can do it right.

::

And he said that.

::

And he said,

::

after seeing this movie and

::

what they did with Hugh Jackman,

::

They did it right,

::

which I am in full agreeance with.

::

I like how you tell this new story of like,

::

no,

::

this isn't the Wolverine we know and

::

love this.

::

Excuse me.

::

This Wolverine went and

::

killed a bunch of humans

::

because the humans came to

::

their crib and killed all

::

of the all of the X-Men and

::

our famous X-Men that we know and love.

::

And he went on a fucking

::

rampage and killed them all.

::

Didn't stop the good,

::

the bad and the ugly.

::

That's what he said.

::

Right.

::

And he had to come with grips with that.

::

And he is known as the worst

::

version of the worst

::

Wolverine that there is in

::

all of the rain and all the multiverse.

::

And so I just think that, you know,

::

it allows you to also

::

analyze Deadpool to that extent, too,

::

because you have to have

::

the character like

::

Wolverine to set up this

::

goofy merch with a mouth

::

that has to face some serious shit.

::

And then you have Hugh,

::

who is playing this Wolverine,

::

who's a failure,

::

who has to face this goofy

::

motherfucker that won't shut the fuck up.

::

It's like two walls, like, you know,

::

two unstoppable forces

::

running into each other.

::

And they're and they're

::

perfect foils for each other.

::

And I think I want to do

::

linger on the moment of

::

like you using this

::

Deadpool lens on RDJ of like,

::

how is this going to work?

::

And like literally Hugh Jackman,

::

Hugh Jackman set up this

::

huge challenge for himself

::

to differentiate from the

::

Logan we knew for like 10 movies,

::

nine movies.

::

And he did it like and he

::

did it with such ferocity as well.

::

And he's such a good actor to do that.

::

Like,

::

I just need to commend him because...

::

there's this point and we

::

talked a little bit about it in the chat,

::

but there's this moment in

::

the car where he just like

::

goes in on Deadpool,

::

tells him how terrible he is.

::

He can't manage any relationships.

::

Of course, he's not going to matter.

::

He doesn't take anything seriously.

::

And the way that he delivers

::

that material is, is gut wrenching.

::

And if I was in that passenger seat,

::

I wouldn't have fought Hugh Jackman.

::

I just would have like cried

::

and just crawled out of the

::

car while it was moving.

::

Um,

::

Um,

::

it was phenomenally done and Hugh

::

Jackman brought that.

::

He brought all of that to

::

this movie when you thought,

::

what else are we going to

::

do with Wolverine?

::

Well,

::

what if Wolverine like wasn't around

::

when all the X-Men died?

::

Cause he got blackout drunk.

::

Yeah.

::

I want to know that Wolverine story.

::

And it, it, it was, I mean,

::

that was a great like yin

::

to the Deadpool Yang of

::

that emotional core,

::

which I think it works.

::

It connects with me.

::

I think the other thing that

::

this movie did well is it

::

shone a light on questions

::

that I think comic book fans,

::

it sought to answer

::

questions that we had kind

::

of forgotten about and

::

didn't know we needed.

::

And the best example of that is, well,

::

how come we never saw

::

Wolverine in his yellow suit?

::

And it is such a perfect answer.

::

that I didn't even question it.

::

It was just like a, oh, well,

::

they always wanted me to wear it,

::

but I didn't want to make

::

it seem like I was, if I wore it,

::

I wanted to seem like I was too cool.

::

And now I wear it because

::

I'm trying to pay something

::

back and trying to make up

::

for my mistake and be the

::

hero they would have wanted me to be.

::

Like that was such a well

::

done and to Marcus,

::

a vulnerable answer that I went, okay,

::

yeah, that makes a ton of sense.

::

So, yeah, there's just a lot of this.

::

It worked.

::

It's incredibly depressing

::

to think that he never

::

actually wore it in his

::

universe with that team.

::

And then it's literally the

::

only thing he carries

::

around with him because it

::

reminds him of the team.

::

It's basically this walking

::

scarlet letter of his entire failure,

::

which I didn't expect in a

::

Deadpool movie.

::

No, not at all.

::

Not at all.

::

And I think, you know,

::

one of the other words as we go into,

::

like, one of my next favorite pieces,

::

I think you picked the

::

right... In a movie filled with cameos,

::

number one was not

::

expecting fucking Chris

::

Evans to pop up and have as

::

many speaking parts as he did.

::

He had a lot of lines.

::

And even so much Deadpool

::

joked about it was like,

::

he's killing the fucking budget.

::

You know what I mean?

::

And so...

::

Number one, you picked really good cameos.

::

And Blade says something

::

when he's talking to

::

Elektra about them going to

::

go stand up against, what's her name?

::

Cassandra.

::

Cassandra Nova.

::

I'm thinking Casanova.

::

Casanova.

::

So I feel like they have

::

this moment where they're

::

talking about legacy.

::

And all of this in the end,

::

you don't get this until the end montage,

::

the video montage while the

::

credits are rolling about

::

how all of this is about legacy.

::

You poke as much fun as Fox

::

as you want to.

::

And Ryan Reynolds is really good at it.

::

But in the in the base of it all,

::

there is something about an

::

homage and legacy.

::

And like all of these people we see now,

::

they paved the way and were

::

trailblazers for.

::

To the comic book movies

::

that we get today.

::

We always talk about Blade

::

being the one that saved

::

the MCU because the first

::

Blade movie was so fucking successful.

::

When they were about to sell

::

everything off,

::

it kickstarted what the MCU

::

would be today.

::

And you don't get that

::

unless you get the Fox movies,

::

unless you get that version of Blade,

::

etc., etc., etc., etc.

::

And I feel like this is an

::

important point that Kevin Feige,

::

one of his first

::

professional jobs in movies

::

was associate producer on

::

the first X-Men movie.

::

And literally the only thing

::

he was there to do was

::

provide knowledge of the

::

Marvel Universe because the

::

production company was like,

::

we don't know what this X-Men thing is.

::

Can you just go there and

::

make sure everything's going fine?

::

Wow.

::

And because Kevin Feige had

::

that experience on the X-Men set,

::

it sets off a domino effect

::

for like the next 20 years.

::

That's cool.

::

And that's why I think this

::

stuff is also really

::

important because he was there.

::

He was there when like the

::

first X-Men came out,

::

which is what kicked off a lot of this.

::

Yeah.

::

Now you can say what you, that's really,

::

Brian, that's a fucking, where else?

::

This is the only podcast you

::

can get some shit out of.

::

Here's the other thing, right?

::

I know that we had that

::

conversation earlier once again about RDJ,

::

but these two things are

::

tied in together.

::

Yes, Kevin Feige is a part of a system.

::

Yes,

::

he's a part of responding to people

::

that are higher than him.

::

I do think Kevin Feige has

::

as much say-so as he would

::

like in the things that he

::

creates because he's done

::

it for over 10 years when

::

it comes to developing this universe.

::

He is somebody who cares

::

about... You have to care

::

so much that you allow Ryan

::

Reynolds and this Deadpool

::

character to come in and introduce...

::

this naughty world to this

::

clean Disney clean cut

::

thing that isn't really

::

connected to anything.

::

It brings in certain pieces

::

so that it all kind of makes sense.

::

The TVA was perfect.

::

Dr. Strange's like ring with

::

the reality stone and the,

::

and the time stone attached to it,

::

like smart as hell,

::

but to allow somebody to

::

come in and just say, yeah,

::

do your thing.

::

As long as it ties into this

::

and it doesn't really need

::

to lead into the next thing.

::

This is just a movie about friendship.

::

That's really what it was.

::

Yeah.

::

Yeah.

::

I mean,

::

I think it's a movie about these

::

two finding that they're

::

way more similar than they think.

::

And then also realizing like, you don't,

::

you,

::

you can matter without doing these

::

big things.

::

You can matter by just

::

inviting someone to have

::

pizza at your apartment.

::

Right.

::

Like,

::

I feel like that was something else

::

this movie did.

::

Maybe it wasn't as eloquent

::

in its delivery,

::

but I also feel like that

::

was a message that resonated with me.

::

Yeah.

::

Um,

::

I want to talk a little bit

::

about the cameos,

::

because I think one thing

::

that can happen in this

::

movie really easily is I

::

feel like the cameos can

::

sort of start eating away

::

at your story a little bit.

::

And the movie becomes more

::

about the cameo than it

::

does necessarily about.

::

the um that the plot and I

::

think what this movie did

::

really well is it made

::

those fit in a way in which

::

that makes sense 100 they

::

made it fit in a way in

::

which that works like so so

::

well that I i was just

::

really happy with it so I i i

::

I want to run down all of

::

the different folks that are in this.

::

So first you get a bunch of

::

different comic book,

::

accurate versions of

::

Wolverine from various different pieces,

::

which I thought were awesome.

::

I thought that was so much fun.

::

yeah the short king

::

wolverine is in there now

::

wolverine is officially

::

listed on his like

::

membership of the avengers

::

at being 5 10 and so he was

::

much shorter in this

::

obviously but that was sort

::

of like the dig at his

::

actual height um that's

::

listed in the comic books

::

by the way nope not at all um

::

you got patch playing cards

::

and what we can only assume is magical.

::

Um, we got the, we got the,

::

we got the Brown suit from

::

when he's facing the Hulk,

::

even a shot of the Hulk

::

from like within his claws.

::

And then also the other way, um,

::

you got the Wolverine from

::

the age of apocalypse storyline,

::

which I thought was fucking

::

really good on screen.

::

Oh my God.

::

That looks really good.

::

Yeah.

::

um and then you got like the

::

most one of the most iconic

::

versions of wolverine which

::

is him crucified on like a

::

giant x um and just the

::

skivvies which was

::

incredible yeah a lot and

::

then last but not least you

::

got henry cavill as

::

wolverine which I thought

::

marcus was gonna like lose

::

his shit over like it

::

happened so quick it like

::

took him a minute

::

Because I like the way that

::

they introduced him.

::

It was the first shot of him

::

was just from behind.

::

And I was like, oh, who is that?

::

And they moved on.

::

And I was like, oh,

::

they're not going to go back to that.

::

Like, that feels weird.

::

Then I realized how they

::

were setting up the shots.

::

And then they did go back.

::

And it shocked the fuck out of me.

::

me too honestly I and that

::

feels like such an inside

::

joke because like I'm

::

really curious to talk to

::

people at work about this

::

because they're more like

::

folks who probably don't

::

follow casting news like we

::

do like we knew that that

::

was rumored for a while so

::

I would be so curious to be

::

like oh Henry Cavill what's

::

he doing here like oh no

::

people wanted and then the

::

John Krasinski one too like

::

yeah yeah yeah and then the

::

line will treat you so much

::

better than those fellows

::

across the street yeah

::

Yeah, I love that.

::

But here's the other thing

::

that I don't know if

::

anybody noticed that Henry Cavill did,

::

but he did his arm loading,

::

arm charge thing when he did his claws.

::

I missed that.

::

I saw that in a review, but I was like,

::

oh.

::

Like from Mission Impossible,

::

he did the arm thing.

::

Well, yeah, you got to load your arms.

::

Yeah, like the arm.

::

Yeah, you got to load them.

::

Yeah.

::

Other sort of cameos that we had.

::

Blade.

::

Blade was in this.

::

Played by original Wesley Snipes.

::

And I saw an interview,

::

and it was actually Ryan

::

Reynolds that asked him to do it.

::

And the only reason why he

::

agreed was he agreed and he said, well,

::

I mean,

::

if you can actually get them to

::

agree to it,

::

I don't think that's going to happen.

::

But if you can get them to agree to it,

::

then yeah, that's fine.

::

I wonder what happened that made him...

::

I don't know what,

::

why he thought that they

::

wouldn't bring him back.

::

Like their exit must've been bad.

::

In the interview that he said,

::

he said it was that because they had,

::

he was like,

::

I don't know if they want to

::

go backwards and they

::

already have Marshala Ali.

::

Do they really want to

::

create this level of

::

confusion since they

::

already have a new blade?

::

And so that was what,

::

that was the short like

::

interview that I saw that

::

where he sort of answered that question,

::

but you're right.

::

It does make me wonder.

::

I mean,

::

so there's also been all these

::

rumors about Blade Trinity,

::

which I someone write a book, please.

::

Or if there is a book,

::

feel free to comment or yell at me.

::

Because the main rumors were

::

that basically Blade

::

Trinity was trying to be

::

this spinoff for Jessica

::

Biel and Ryan Reynolds.

::

And then Wesley Snipes was like, no,

::

don't do that.

::

And then they were like, too bad.

::

And so he tried to be as

::

difficult as possible.

::

And that's where we get the

::

story of him not opening his eyes.

::

And they have to blue screen him.

::

They have to CGI his eyes

::

opening because he was like

::

trying to protest what they

::

were trying to do to this movie.

::

So like...

::

that I feel like it was the

::

idea of like wesley snipes

::

and box marvel did not

::

leave on the best terms so

::

I'm wondering if maybe

::

that's where some of that

::

came from there were also

::

rumors that like ryan

::

reynolds and wesley snipes

::

didn't get along I don't

::

think that's the case at

::

this point it didn't seem

::

like it now I could see

::

that happening back then

::

young stood and you know I get it

::

So much so that Deadpool

::

makes a line in the movie,

::

which I thought was outstanding,

::

where he goes,

::

and we didn't necessarily

::

get along the last time.

::

So last time we worked together,

::

which I thought was incredible.

::

I lost my,

::

I just want to just put in the preference,

::

you know, put in perspective.

::

So when they do that whole

::

shot with the big cameo

::

scene with all the big dogs, right?

::

And we go and we see Wanda.

::

We see the Wanda on the wall.

::

What's that about?

::

What's that about?

::

It got to mean something

::

because nothing mean nothing.

::

So like we walk down and

::

this month they doing all

::

the introduction.

::

First of all, Elektra's there.

::

Okay.

::

Come in.

::

spinning, you know what I mean?

::

She still looks good, too.

::

Elektra walks in.

::

They make a little Daredevil joke.

::

Daredevil's dead?

::

Oh, lord!

::

She's like, it's not that big of a deal.

::

It's fine.

::

Gambit walks in.

::

Motherfucking Channing Tatum

::

in his actual Gambit outfit,

::

which he looks kind of crazy in.

::

I'm not gonna lie.

::

It's always the head thing

::

for Gambit that never

::

translates to live action.

::

He's also big.

::

Yeah.

::

Well, that too.

::

It's also his accent, you guys.

::

I don't want to solidify

::

myself as the accent expert.

::

Jesus Christ.

::

But I feel like if you give

::

me two months with a dialect coach,

::

I can do much better than Channing Tatum.

::

I feel like that's the joke, though,

::

right?

::

I think that's the joke.

::

Kate, looking back on it,

::

Channing Tatum had pushed to

::

get his own movie for such

::

a long time when he saw Gambit in,

::

what was it?

::

Origins.

::

And he was very critical of

::

that character's Southern

::

accent and was outspoken and said, I can,

::

I am from Louisiana and can

::

do a better accent than that.

::

And so this,

::

it might be a little bit of a joke,

::

but it's him trying to like

::

really lean into it and

::

make them as Cajun as possible.

::

Right.

::

Yeah.

::

All I'm saying is, Marvel,

::

if you need another Gambit variant,

::

I will send you my resume.

::

I know.

::

Hey, you get one line.

::

No, no, no.

::

I couldn't.

::

We're already over time.

::

But when Blade popped up,

::

I lost my shit because I

::

didn't expect it.

::

I was hitting Doug the whole

::

time because I genuinely

::

did not expect Blade or

::

Wesley Snipes to walk from

::

around the corner.

::

Absolutely bottom of my list.

::

Bottom of my bottom of my list.

::

And the entrance was like

::

the music and what he was wearing,

::

how they styled him.

::

I thought it was perfect.

::

His little goatee that was white.

::

And then he had the little

::

white in his hair too.

::

Perfect.

::

Oh my gosh.

::

That entire sequence is just so...

::

perfect because I finally

::

got to see an x like

::

someone from the x-men talk

::

to someone from the

::

daredevil movies electra

::

electra jennifer garner

::

yeah and blade and then a

::

character we never saw plus

::

x23 yeah like that that is

::

something I wanted 20 years ago

::

And we finally got it in a Deadpool movie,

::

which I just think is the

::

most bonkers thing out of all of this.

::

Like all everything was there,

::

but it took Ryan Reynolds

::

and co to pull it all together,

::

which I just think is the

::

most wild thing about this.

::

Daphne Keene also has been

::

in I didn't realize this

::

she played Laura in X-23

::

she's 19 years old played

::

Laura in X-23 and then went

::

and played Jackie in

::

fucking Star Wars Acolyte I

::

can't get any of these

::

names right tonight I just

::

didn't know that that's all I got yeah

::

other folks that were in I

::

mean we had so we talked

::

about Christopher Evans

::

like I had to give him his

::

fucking legal name but like

::

some other folks that were

::

in it that you got to see

::

like glimpses of but maybe

::

didn't have speaking lines

::

I mean obviously Pyro's in

::

this Sabretooth is in this

::

oh my gosh Blob Toad maybe

::

Psylocke Psylocke

::

um lady deathstroke

::

juggernaut uh strike yeah

::

lady deathstrike sorry um

::

lady deathstroke that's a

::

different that's a no I

::

like it I like it but yeah

::

and then all the other sort

::

of like nods to different

::

things like different

::

vehicles so we saw red

::

skull's car they had a they

::

had a fantastic car so they

::

had like the fantastic that

::

was catching these shits

::

quick as hell because I

::

could not be booked

::

There was a Guardians ship down there.

::

It looked like a variant of the Milano.

::

Somebody said a Pirates of

::

the Caribbean ship was there.

::

There was a Pirates of the

::

Caribbean ship behind.

::

Yeah,

::

so when Deadpool and Wolverine are

::

fighting in the desert,

::

if you look behind them at

::

the shot when they're like this,

::

there is a pirate ship sort

::

of off in the distance.

::

Wow.

::

Sorry,

::

Florence Pugh made a post and I

::

couldn't resist but look at it.

::

I get it.

::

We all have our influencer.

::

It's very charming.

::

You both know mine.

::

That's where we're at.

::

We're going to leave it right there.

::

Sorry.

::

I didn't know yours.

::

I forgot.

::

Yeah.

::

I know Brian.

::

You and I know Brian.

::

Put it in the private chat.

::

Who's Brian?

::

I will put it in the private chat.

::

Put it in there right now.

::

Brian,

::

you talk and he's going to type it

::

in the private chat.

::

Brian, who is yours?

::

I don't know who yours is.

::

We don't need to worry about it right now.

::

I do want to get on the villain.

::

Talk a little bit about the

::

villain and how he felt about... Oh,

::

yeah.

::

It is no secret.

::

I'm a fan of Elizabeth Olsen's character.

::

Alright, this is not a surprise.

::

She's very charming.

::

I'm in full agreement with you, bro.

::

I don't disagree.

::

And he's so respectful about it, too.

::

Yeah, and I'll say mine out loud.

::

Sydney Sweeney's mine.

::

Let's just get all of ours out there.

::

Let's just own our shit.

::

We all have our shit.

::

Is it mine?

::

But as a black man,

::

I do have my white women

::

that are on a good list.

::

And then I have my...

::

Okay.

::

All right.

::

Cool, cool, cool.

::

I'm learning a lot tonight.

::

Which is fine.

::

I like to learn new things.

::

Zendaya is mine.

::

Oh, okay.

::

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

::

Is that who you thought it

::

was going to be?

::

Who did y'all think mine was?

::

I thought it was actively Florence Pugh,

::

so that's just where I left off.

::

Florence Pugh is like that, though.

::

You have a few.

::

You've got Florence Pugh.

::

You've got Zendaya.

::

You've got the lady who played Valkyrie.

::

Oh, Tessa Thompson.

::

Tessa Thompson.

::

Sure, sure.

::

Ooh, fuck, yeah, you're right.

::

Ooh, goddamn.

::

The Lord is good, man.

::

Anyway.

::

Jesus Christ.

::

Here's what I know.

::

I know that when Wolverine lost his shirt,

::

a lot of people in my

::

theater started paying attention,

::

including my wife, and that's fine.

::

It's fine.

::

here's what was surprising

::

though he didn't take his

::

shirt off sooner and that's

::

a big thing about being

::

Wolverine and I didn't

::

realize until that moment

::

of like oh and then he kept

::

the mask on so I was like

::

oh that threw me off like I

::

was like I was like yeah

::

Yeah.

::

No, we can go back to Cassandra Nova.

::

Let's talk about Cassandra Nova.

::

So first off,

::

I thought she was kind of one

::

of those... So she sort of

::

fell into this... Because

::

Deadpool and Wolverine command...

::

so much space.

::

Yeah.

::

She did feel like she got

::

lost a little bit.

::

Like, you know what I mean?

::

She did feel like she got

::

lost a little bit,

::

but I really appreciated like her,

::

her powers.

::

I thought the idea of

::

crawling into people's

::

heads with her hand, one comic book,

::

accurate.

::

And two looked fucking sweet.

::

Like it was just such a cool concept.

::

It was disturbing.

::

It was.

::

And I applaud this movie.

::

More, please.

::

Like, it was straight up just disturbing.

::

It felt like Sam Raimi, like a little bit.

::

Yes, very Raimi-ish.

::

Like body horror type stuff.

::

Yeah, for sure.

::

Maggie and I squirmed when

::

she put her hand through

::

Succession Guy's head and

::

dragged him down the stairs.

::

Oh, my God.

::

That really bothered me.

::

And I know it was CGI, but I was like,

::

that woman...

::

grabbed his brain and is

::

dragging him by his brain.

::

That's disturbing.

::

Yeah.

::

And they let you sit in it.

::

I do agree.

::

I agree a little bit about

::

the villain of like,

::

she's sandwiched between

::

Paradox being villain 1A

::

and her being villain 1B.

::

And then the whole entire

::

Deadpool and Wolverine story.

::

I think there's a lot of

::

potential for her as an

::

actress or this character

::

to be a sole villain in some capacity,

::

maybe if they could adapt that storyline,

::

but that would take a lot

::

to kind of adapt that

::

storyline down the road, but

::

I enjoyed her purpose.

::

She was there to catapult

::

this story and be the exit

::

from the void or the

::

connection from the void to

::

the to the multiverse or to, you know,

::

to that world.

::

And I think that she did that well.

::

They wrote that character well to do that.

::

And I do I do want to give a

::

shout out to the actress

::

because I knew her from The Crown.

::

She is Princess Diana in The Crown.

::

And so I think that she's

::

got such range because I

::

saw her in that and then I

::

saw her in this and I'm like,

::

man, you're like two different people.

::

You're a comedian.

::

I love it.

::

So just, I want to give a bump.

::

I want to give a bump to

::

Emma Cora and I think she's

::

really talented.

::

I'm really excited to see

::

her in more stuff.

::

Yeah.

::

Cassandra Nova,

::

it felt a little one note E,

::

but also at the same time,

::

like I'm okay with that because I wanted,

::

I wanted the Deadpool Wolverine stuff.

::

Like it's fine.

::

Like she did exactly what

::

she needed to do.

::

I also think you could have,

::

and what I appreciate what they didn't do,

::

is they could have said,

::

because she's technically

::

Charles Xavier's sister,

::

they could have made this...

::

they could have really

::

leaned into how she's not Charles.

::

And they just didn't... They

::

left it alone.

::

They just sort of like, no, no, no,

::

she's her own thing.

::

Leave her right there.

::

And that's just fine.

::

And I was really pleased

::

with that decision because

::

my fear was they were going

::

to make this...

::

commentary on Charles and

::

misgivings and they only

::

brought it up once and it

::

was at the very end that

::

speech Wolverine gave to

::

her and I that was all they

::

needed to do and that was

::

perfect because they could

::

have done it could have

::

been extra about it and I'm

::

glad that they weren't

::

No, I agree.

::

And I think that this movie

::

knew its limits in being like,

::

we know we can do a

::

meditation on if Charles

::

Xavier is like a net benefit to mutants.

::

This isn't the movie to do it.

::

Yeah,

::

we're not going to do that right now.

::

We got this movie's about

::

this movie has Chris Evans

::

like basically having his

::

skin ripped off at one point.

::

Yeah.

::

Yes.

::

Dealing with that, which, by the way,

::

I've seen a lot of stuff in movies,

::

but like even I was like, oh,

::

That got me.

::

That got me.

::

Well done, Marvel.

::

And the effects were pretty good.

::

It happened so good, so quick.

::

I don't know.

::

There's a lot of moments in this... Okay,

::

here's my downside to this movie.

::

I don't just want to kiss

::

this movie's ass.

::

Here's my downside.

::

There are certain moments where I wish...

::

the emotions were longer the

::

story is simple it's a very

::

simple story right and you

::

jam pack it with all the

::

things we know and love

::

around this story because

::

it is simply put a story

::

about friendship uh and

::

finding out what matters to

::

you which in the end is

::

having that friendship and

::

that other than somebody to

::

rely on that's what the

::

whole movie is about

::

absolutely and for deadpool

::

Sometimes I wish that there

::

weren't as many jokes like

::

that scene with Hugh

::

Jackman and Deadpool.

::

I'm glad that it happened,

::

because if you don't have

::

that moment where Deadpool

::

doesn't respond immediately

::

when Wolverine says something,

::

I think you lose the whole

::

kind of like the

::

vulnerability in this joint.

::

Right.

::

I agree.

::

And sometimes I wish they

::

kind of sat in that more.

::

I think it also felt like

::

paradox at some point was I

::

get why you introduced that

::

because you need the TVA.

::

Is there another way to

::

introduce or make that bad

::

feel a little bit more big, bad?

::

Yeah.

::

I guess a little bit because

::

they randomly bring in Deadpool.

::

They drop all these little seeds about,

::

yeah, somehow they, they,

::

the people up top got plans for you.

::

You're of some importance or

::

something on something you

::

got to come work for us and

::

I'm going to destroy your universe.

::

And that's kind of like, wait, why?

::

You know what I mean?

::

Like I,

::

Yeah.

::

Great question.

::

Yeah.

::

They never really talk as to like,

::

why does that, why does, what was it?

::

Earth one zero.

::

One thousand five.

::

One thousand five.

::

Triple zero five.

::

Right.

::

Yeah.

::

One thousand five.

::

Yeah.

::

You're right.

::

They never talk about like,

::

why does that need to be destroyed?

::

Mm-hmm.

::

Well, wait, they do,

::

but they do talk about it,

::

but he talks about expediting it because,

::

well, okay.

::

They never talk about why it

::

needs to be expedited.

::

They say why it's dying,

::

but he never says like, well,

::

I'm trying to hurry it up.

::

Well, no, because they need a mercy, mercy,

::

merciless and swift response.

::

god or something like that

::

and that was him somebody

::

who's just willing to do

::

the dirty work I guess I

::

don't feel like they built

::

that up enough sorry brian

::

no you're fine I think this

::

is the part of the movie

::

where it's it's very much

::

like look this is what we

::

want to do we want to put

::

deadpool in these

::

situations this is the

::

mcguffin yeah just deal

::

with it we're moving on and

::

I'm fine with it, because I expected that.

::

I did not expect Deadpool to

::

get into the very specifics

::

of how all this science

::

fiction technology is working.

::

Paradox is just doing it for the fun.

::

For the funsies.

::

Shitting gigs.

::

And I appreciated a rogue TVA agent.

::

I doubt that they thought this far ahead,

::

but

::

when Loki takes over the TVA

::

at the end of the second season,

::

they're like, Oh,

::

like this is going to be

::

hard on some people like

::

this type of change.

::

Not everyone's going to go with it.

::

And implicitly you're seeing

::

that happen in Deadpool.

::

Do I think Marvel intended to do that?

::

I don't know.

::

In my head though,

::

it fits perfectly narrative

::

wise because the TVA knew

::

this was going to happen.

::

And with a change like this,

::

you're going to have a guy

::

like paradox who goes by the old ways.

::

So yeah,

::

I enjoyed it for that perspective.

::

Also, really quick,

::

we don't have to linger on this.

::

Never explained how Deadpool

::

gets to 616 for his Avengers interview.

::

How does he know about the Avengers?

::

Doesn't really matter.

::

How does he get back to 1005?

::

He had the time thing.

::

Oh,

::

is the cable time thing how he got there?

::

Yeah,

::

I think because he thought he was

::

bought there or something

::

like that because of the

::

time cable jumping thing.

::

I think he still had it.

::

Yeah,

::

I think that's what I at least put

::

together in my head.

::

Because he said he destroyed it.

::

Did he destroy it after?

::

Yeah, so he goes in for the interview,

::

and then that's when you

::

see him at the car

::

dealership making fun of

::

Brian's current vehicle.

::

No, no, no, no, no.

::

He likes the Kia Carnival MPV.

::

Thank you.

::

And then he says right after that,

::

he gets pulled in by the TVA and he goes,

::

was that for all that time

::

jumping with Cable's watch?

::

Because I destroyed that.

::

I thought that was after Happy Hogan.

::

Me too.

::

Maybe it was.

::

He went to Happy Hogan to do

::

something that mattered

::

after he bought everybody back.

::

Went to see Happy.

::

Happy said no.

::

Then he destroyed it.

::

Then he stayed in the

::

timeline where he was.

::

That was the timeline I put

::

together in my head.

::

Pable's thing could make him

::

jump universes.

::

It's fine.

::

I'm going to go with it.

::

It's also Deadpool.

::

I think he needs the least explanation,

::

I guess.

::

He just shows up.

::

Because he knows who Thor is.

::

Yes, great point.

::

Which I'm pretty sure that's

::

repurposed footage from The Dark World.

::

It absolutely is.

::

I don't think any of that was there.

::

Do you know what the fun

::

idea that I heard the

::

original concept of this movie was?

::

They were going to do a

::

shot-by-shot Thor The Dark World

::

movie for Deadpool and then

::

at the end was going to revamp it.

::

There was several ideas that

::

went about how to go about this.

::

One was the road trip with

::

him and Wolverine.

::

One was a shot by shot Thor

::

the Dark World.

::

I got to find it.

::

I got to find it.

::

But that made all the sense

::

in the fucking world.

::

I also think that Thor shot

::

with him and him crying

::

will come back full circle

::

in Secret Wars.

::

I mean, I'll be honest.

::

I don't expect it.

::

If they make this happen, though,

::

I will applaud them because

::

that's a deep cut.

::

I love that.

::

Why am I still crying?

::

Why am I there?

::

I will say the director...

::

has said that this is not like,

::

this isn't setting any,

::

like this is not tied.

::

Yeah.

::

Yeah.

::

Yeah.

::

It's just its own box.

::

Which is fine.

::

Honestly, I think is good.

::

And like to get a little bit

::

more bird's eye.

::

I think Marvel really needed

::

this movie for a lot of reasons,

::

but I think one of the

::

other reasons is that they

::

got to do a Fox,

::

the 20th century Fox victory lap.

::

Thank you card.

::

So good.

::

While they figure their own mess out.

::

Yeah.

::

Um,

::

And maybe I shouldn't call it a mess,

::

but they're figuring out

::

the retooling of it.

::

We talked about it in the

::

fall that Marvel had this

::

big retreat of like how

::

they're going to course

::

correct everything.

::

And it would not surprise me

::

if they're like, yeah,

::

have the Deadpool movie,

::

do whatever you want,

::

because that gives us an

::

entire 18 months to figure

::

out what we do next.

::

And I feel like the result of that,

::

the Deadpool movie was

::

giving them time to figure out Doomsday.

::

because this is a fun treat

::

it doesn't really add

::

anything to the whole

::

multiverse maybe we'll see

::

something pop up from it

::

maybe like now there was an

::

interview asking directly

::

Hugh Jackman and Ryan

::

Reynolds like hey like what

::

does this look like for the

::

next Avengers movie are you

::

like is that even like a

::

consideration for you two

::

and it was like the classic

::

Marvel interview of like

::

they shuffled in their

::

seats and they hemmed and hawed so like

::

Hugh Jackman and Ryan

::

Reynolds are definitely

::

coming back at some point.

::

I mean, I would love it if they did, like,

::

a Wolverine and Xavier

::

school for gifted youngsters.

::

Like, he's the one leading it.

::

That'd be fucking sweet.

::

There's definitely some stuff cooking,

::

and I definitely think

::

Deadpool's showing up at some point.

::

Yeah, man.

::

Well, yeah,

::

Deadpool is... I think Deadpool

::

and Wolverine are... If the

::

rumors are true,

::

you're gonna get... Here's

::

what you're gonna get.

::

The money shot.

::

Deadpool...

::

Wolverine, Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield,

::

and Blade, and new Blade.

::

You're going to get all

::

these motherfuckers in one movie.

::

Oh, I mean,

::

for all the cameos that we've

::

talked about, which Elektra,

::

Jennifer Garner,

::

I'm so glad you're a good sport,

::

and came back.

::

And not only...

::

came back for a cameo.

::

She did a full-on action scene,

::

which is great.

::

Thank you, Jennifer Garner.

::

I appreciate you.

::

As a fan of Alias, I appreciate that.

::

There were some very notable

::

absences from some X-Men members.

::

The fact that Colossus is

::

the only other X-Men

::

involved in this movie is

::

very... I don't see his face.

::

I think it's going to I think to me,

::

it's very telling that they

::

I feel like Marvel has some

::

plans of either bringing

::

them back in Secret Wars or

::

having them cameo in Secret Wars,

::

because I was like, man,

::

like if we're doing this

::

whole retrospective, I would expect like,

::

you know, James Marsden.

::

I would expect a $5 haircut.

::

Bring that motherfucker back.

::

I would expect Patrick Stewart something.

::

I did expect...

::

No haircut.

::

Oh, no haircut.

::

No,

::

instead we got Chris Evans' Human Torch,

::

which I am 100% And Chris

::

Evans talking his shit on the back end,

::

which I really enjoyed.

::

I was like, yeah, perfect.

::

Johnny Storm don't care.

::

I do think you're right, Brian.

::

I mean,

::

I love the fact that, you know,

::

Deadpool brings up the

::

Avengers and Hugh Jackman's

::

response is fuck the Avengers.

::

That was incredible.

::

That I loved every second of that.

::

I would love a X-Men versus

::

the Avengers with that attitude.

::

That would be fantastic.

::

It's a lot, but I would love it.

::

Oh, yes.

::

Yeah.

::

But here we are.

::

Anything else that you have

::

on your list that you

::

absolutely got to talk about?

::

We didn't even talk about

::

the Deadpool core.

::

Blake Lively showed up.

::

Maybe it was Blake Lively.

::

She never took off the mask.

::

I think it might have been ADR'd.

::

I'm pretty sure Blake Lively

::

just showed up to the ADR

::

booth for 20 minutes.

::

I think she recorded it in their house.

::

I think that Ryan Reynolds

::

and their rich Hollywood actors,

::

I think that they have a

::

recording studio in their basement.

::

They definitely were like,

::

Yeah, let me just put this in the house.

::

I think that the mask,

::

although I wanted to see it more,

::

I think the way that we got

::

it for the rest of the movie was perfect.

::

The Wolverine mask, thank you.

::

I think the reveal was good,

::

and I think the line was like, hey,

::

do you use that thing often?

::

And he says, only for killing.

::

And I was like, yeah, for sure.

::

That is a fire-ass line, and then...

::

The Deadpool core are so disposable that,

::

yeah,

::

you get a fight scene with a bunch

::

of Deadpool that nobody's really dying.

::

And Wolverine can still be Wolverine.

::

There's your scene for Secret Wars.

::

I mean, in Secret Wars,

::

the second iteration,

::

there's a whole fleet of

::

Thor battle world cops that go around.

::

Yep.

::

You're going to see

::

something similar to that

::

at some point in time.

::

It's not going to be a one on one.

::

It's going to they're going

::

to build this shit out.

::

So, right.

::

I mean, it was.

::

Yeah,

::

I honestly at that point in the movie,

::

though, I was like, really,

::

we're doing this.

::

We're doing this like we

::

still have like the end of

::

the movie to do.

::

And then I was like, you know what?

::

I'm along for the ride.

::

And I didn't care as soon as

::

I saw the mask go on.

::

yeah and honestly I thought

::

the mask looked fine I did

::

see some comments like on

::

twitter and tiktok like oh

::

the mask like it doesn't

::

work that's why we don't

::

have the mask and I was

::

like this is the mask it

::

it's fine like I it I don't

::

know it's a wolverine mask

::

I got you bro yeah

::

Like, this is what it looks like,

::

and it looks good.

::

Brian, can you just start the sentence,

::

and I will end it.

::

So all I need you to say is, can you,

::

and then I will finish it.

::

Okay, can you... Shut the fuck up.

::

Nothing is good enough for you,

::

motherfucker.

::

Just shut up.

::

Seriously,

::

you finally got this Wolverine

::

mask and all you do is complain.

::

That you've been whining

::

about for 20 years.

::

It looked good.

::

It was bright yellow, people.

::

It looked fine.

::

I kind of like the fact that

::

the eyes were similar to Deadpool's.

::

I kind of like that sort of

::

connective tissue a little bit.

::

I thought that was fine.

::

I did realize you cannot do

::

that with Batman because it

::

would look so weird in the

::

way that we get Batman.

::

Everybody wants the Batman white eyes,

::

the detective eyes.

::

Marvel has it down to a

::

science now where you can

::

do that and it is kind of

::

like second nature now.

::

DC has never set themselves

::

up to be able to get that, but whatever.

::

I also think it was a good

::

plan for them to do a blend

::

of CG and a real mask.

::

I'm really glad they didn't go the...

::

iron man route and they just

::

cg'd around robert downey

::

jr's face the whole time

::

like it was very clearly a

::

real mask with cg elements

::

which I think is the best

::

way to go agreed agreed all right

::

well uh I agree with marcus

::

he started this off with a

::

solid like eight out of ten

::

um I concur yeah a solid

::

eight nine out of ten this

::

was really good I enjoyed

::

it a lot it's a lot of fun

::

it's everything that I

::

wanted it to be um there

::

really wasn't I didn't walk

::

out of that theater saying

::

oh man I wish they would

::

have like I thought it was

::

there I mean for what I wanted so yeah

::

I mean, they even made a Punisher joke.

::

What was the joke?

::

I missed it.

::

The joke was she killed the

::

Punisher and Deadpool goes, which one?

::

There's like three of them.

::

Which one?

::

There's like three of them.

::

And they said like, oh, I can't remember.

::

Oh, God.

::

I mean,

::

also having Wesley Snipes being like,

::

there's only going to be

::

one blade and having Ryan

::

Reynolds look directly into the camera.

::

This movie's made

::

specifically for me because

::

I understand all of this.

::

Yes.

::

i honestly like I just this

::

is how you do fan service

::

and however you feel about

::

fan service I don't really

::

care but like this is how

::

you do it it's substance

::

with these sprinkling of

::

cameos and honestly I'm

::

super happy for channing

::

tatum that he finally got

::

to be gambit in a live

::

action movie and it looked

::

sick as hell it looked amazing

::

Just needed to dial in that accent.

::

Here we go.

::

Gentlemen, yeah,

::

so definitely we recommend seeing it.

::

If you have a local theater

::

like Vermillion Theaters,

::

go see it there.

::

Absolutely go see it there.

::

But gentlemen,

::

what do you all have to plug?

::

Hey, folks, it's me, Brian,

::

to tell you about Color Me Confetti.

::

Head on over to Etsy.com and

::

::

All one word, you'll see my website.

::

I got distracted.

::

You can peruse her wares and

::

see all of the printable

::

party supplies she has for you on Etsy.

::

I didn't like the way you said where's.

::

I'm sorry.

::

I apologize, I guess.

::

I can do a better ad read if you want.

::

Brian, is the Love Nerds still a thing?

::

The Love Nerds is still a thing.

::

Head on over to

::

thelovenerds.com for all of

::

your recipes and different craft ideas.

::

All right.

::

Marcus, what do you got?

::

Make sure you follow the mantra,

::

never offended, always humble.

::

You know what I mean?

::

Noah for short.

::

I got new music on the way.

::

I'm back in my bag, baby.

::

So don't worry.

::

I'm going to feed you soon.

::

The streets will be fed.

::

Shout out to Soltie, S-O-U-L-T-Y-E.

::

He's got new music.

::

Shout out to Jarrell Patton.

::

He's mixing and mastering all my music.

::

Find clips on Instagram and

All at Marcus J. Destin.

::

Stay connected, but follow the mantra,

::

never offended, always humble, baby.

::

Those clips are fire.

::

Don't miss them.

::

Thank you.

::

This week,

::

I forget what I'm trying to say.

::

I got distracted.

::

Is the music too loud?

::

I don't know.

::

I got distracted.

::

I was trying to give a compliment.

::

Still thinking of the way Brian said,

::

where's?

::

So, anyway, here we go.

::

I want to plug this podcast.

::

Look,

::

if you enjoyed our hot debate about

::

Robert Downey Jr.,

::

if you enjoyed our

::

breakdown about Deadpool and Wolverine,

::

Share us with a friend or a family member.

::

The best way we get some

::

love and support is through

::

word of mouth.

::

Also,

::

if you are feeling generous and want

::

to go over and sign up for

::

one of our Patreon tiers,

::

join the Patty family by

::

going to patreon.com slash

::

films in black and white.

::

and hop on this train.

::

Gentlemen,

::

we have a three-step process to success.

::

Brian, what is that first step?

::

Hey, folks.

::

I'm here to tell you to read a book.

::

And I'm just talking about any book.

::

Read a book.

::

You'll be well-read.

::

You'll know things.

::

You'll know all kinds of things.

::

Maybe things you don't want to know,

::

but you're glad you did.

::

Read a book.

::

There you go.

::

I'm going to tell you to drink some water.

::

Look, y'all,

::

it's supposed to be like 100

::

degrees here tomorrow.

::

You are doing yourself a

::

disservice if you do not stay hydrated.

::

So drink some water.

::

Take care of your body.

::

It'll take care of you.

::

But, yeah, drink some water.

::

You want to make sure for that number,

::

step three, you want to,

::

because Doug did not

::

introduce me for the final step.

::

He just let me have the job.

::

I just let you go.

::

You want to make sure you

::

wash your ass in this multiverse,

::

in the void, in Earth 1005, in Earth 616,

::

and right now,

::

make sure you wash your ass,

::

because guess what?

::

You can't do the nasty if

::

you don't wash your ass.

::

That's the rule.

::

No, you can't.

::

No, that's kind of a prerequisite.

::

Tell me I'm wrong.

::

I mean, you're not.

::

I can't.

::

I wish I could, but I can't.

::

And I shouldn't be irresponsible.

::

That does it for this week's

::

episode of Films of Black and White.

::

It'll be a Marcus and Doug original.

::

Tune in for the debate of the century.

::

Yep.

::

We're going to just box.

::

We're going to put up a

::

camera and he and I are

::

going to box in a public place.

::
