I know that sounds crazy to you guys, but we're like, we're, like, begging for summer to start here. It's really, like, it's. It's kind of ridiculous. We we haven't. 00;02;45;16 - 00;02;46;26 Speaker 1 Have some of our summer. 00;02;46;26 - 00;03;05;25 Speaker 3 Yeah. Give have some sunshine now. I'll be I'll actually be in New York next week, so I don't know if I should be looking forward to the weather or not because I know it's like 80 degrees there, I think. Right now and which is good. I think that's good. But, but the humidity and the mosquitoes I'm not looking forward to that's such an East Coast thing. 00;03;05;25 - 00;03;13;00 Speaker 3 You know on the West Coast we have very little very little mosquitoes, very little humidity. But yeah, I'm happy to be with you guys tonight. 00;03;13;27 - 00;03;19;04 Speaker 2 Yeah. And my wife is actually down in Southern California right now and it's like 67 there. And I just want to. 00;03;20;09 - 00;03;20;25 Speaker 3 Yeah, like. 00;03;21;03 - 00;03;24;27 Speaker 2 I don't like smacking women, but that's just one of those now. 00;03;25;29 - 00;03;32;27 Speaker 3 Well, listen, I'm going to be down in Anaheim in in a couple of weeks.

You're going this weekend. And we did our show for those who have didn't watch, we have a video of the show. We did it where myself and Gina and Pete, the three Disneyland experts gave lots of advice and tidbits to Derek, the Disney World expert, because he has never been to the show. 00;03;55;18 - 00;04;02;00 Speaker 3 Walt's original park. You guys it's crazy. Yeah. I'm actually wearing my Disneyland shirt today. I see. 00;04;02;00 - 00;04;02;13 Speaker 2 That. 00;04;02;19 - 00;04;09;10 Speaker 3 Yeah.

We've got Steve joining us tonight. 00;04;34;12 - 00;04;34;24 Speaker 3 Hey, Steve. 00;04;34;24 - 00;04;49;07 Speaker 2 And hopefully several other other of you on there.

Hey, Ryan. 00;05;19;01 - 00;05;19;19 Speaker 3 Ryan's. 00;05;19;20 - 00;05;27;07 Speaker 2 Glad to see you on here. But we are ready, Kate, for the rather abbreviated Disney party. 00;05;27;14 - 00;05;30;24 Speaker 3 This is the last few weeks Kate for. 00;05;30;27 - 00;05;46;20 Speaker 1 You welcome everybody to the Disney plus news. All right. First of all, Obi-Wan Kenobi will be showing all six episodes in select theaters on June 22nd there. That was the last episode. Yeah, that's going to be really cool. It's going to be like a long movie. 00;05;47;05 - 00;05;50;08 Speaker 3 It's been a long movie. Yeah, I. 00;05;50;10 - 00;05;52;06 Speaker 1 You know what? I think it'll go quick. 00;05;52;15 - 00;06;01;14 Speaker 3 Yeah. I think it's interesting that they're doing that with this series when they haven't done that with any of the previous. Like they didn't do it with Boba Fett or Mandalorian. 00;06;01;14 - 00;06;05;15 Speaker 2 And I will say their viewership numbers have been much higher with this series. 00;06;05;24 - 00;06;07;04 Speaker 3 Oh, so maybe that's what they. 00;06;07;05 - 00;06;15;08 Speaker 2 And let's face it, for these Star Wars people, they don't really have much coming out any time soon as far as movies are concerned. 00;06;15;25 - 00;06;16;14 Speaker 3 That's true. 00;06;16;14 - 00;06;17;18 Speaker 2 I mean, they've got TV. 00;06;17;18 - 00;06;18;00 Speaker 3 Shows. 00;06;18;00 - 00;06;40;07 Speaker 2 They've got light years coming out Friday, which is the buzz like your origin story from Pixar. Right. Died Loving Thor, Love and Thunder coming out in July. But there's no Star Wars coming out for any time soon. So I can understand why they're doing this. Plus, everything is running at select theaters, which means that they probably didn't have to pay a ton to get it distributed. 00;06;40;26 - 00;06;41;05 Speaker 3 Hmm. 00;06;41;21 - 00;06;54;09 Speaker 1 Yes. All right. And last but not least, there are also talks of a season two of Obi Wan, but it will likely not be for a while based on the upcoming release schedule. So, yeah, Star. 00;06;54;09 - 00;07;03;25 Speaker 2 Wars has yeah, they got a lot of stuff coming out. But again, never let it be said that Disney doesn't know how to milk a franchise. For all it's worth. 00;07;04;11 - 00;07;16;22 Speaker 3 Absolutely. If that Al has milk, they will milk it seriously. I think it'll be interesting to see if they do something where they have another jump in time. Right? Because right now where I would like. 00;07;16;22 - 00;07;17;02 Speaker 2 To see. 00;07;17;02 - 00;07;32;11 Speaker 3 That. Yeah, I would wonder what ten years or ten years after episode three and so it could be, you know, sometime in between now and episode four. I don't think, though. You're not going to. But up to episode four. 00;07;33;02 - 00;07;44;11 Speaker 2 I would love to see something actually almost like coexisting with Rogue One, something right before New Hope. 00;07;44;28 - 00;07;45;11 Speaker 3 Mm. 00;07;46;06 - 00;08;04;14 Speaker 2 What was he doing? How much was he actually keeping an eye on Luke? Because there's no way he was out there randomly when Luke was out, out and about getting killed, getting hit by the same people at least. So, yeah, I don't. Especially now, knowing what we know, we know that could not have been random. 00;08;05;03 - 00;08;10;05 Speaker 3 So we just can't get him too old, though, right? Because then he. Because he still has. 00;08;10;18 - 00;08;12;01 Speaker 2 They've got gray hair or stuff. 00;08;12;02 - 00;08;19;17 Speaker 3 No, I know, but we've got Ewan McGregor, and then there's a different actor obviously in a new hope that plays Obi Wan, so we need him to be close. 00;08;19;29 - 00;08;21;03 Speaker 2 You could get close. 00;08;22;00 - 00;08;22;15 Speaker 3 I don't know. 00;08;23;09 - 00;08;23;29 Speaker 2 Now, speaking. 00;08;24;00 - 00;08;25;27 Speaker 3 Of the confusing CGI stuff, so. 00;08;26;11 - 00;08;52;08 Speaker 2 Speaking of milking a franchise for all that it is worth, we've got the new Marvel show. We've got Miss Marvel's premiered today. We're going to try doing this a little bit different today. We're actually going to dove a little bit deeper into some of the actual content of the show. So yeah, still love your comments. Still love to know what you think, but be looking for after the show for, you know, let us know how you thought actually about this show. 00;08;52;08 - 00;09;00;28 Speaker 2 So with that, Sam shifted over to you, it was a lot of very positive cultural representation in this. 00;09;01;07 - 00;09;29;21 Speaker 3 Absolutely. This is one of the first times we're seeing a South Asian hero in I'm not going to just say that in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but in sort of Disney shows in general, this is kind of a big deal. It's not just that she is, you know, South Asian, but she's Pakistani and she's Muslim. I mean, we see a lot of the time we see Indian characters in TV shows and movies. 00;09;30;07 - 00;09;51;16 Speaker 3 It's not that often that we see Pakistani characters. And when we see Pakistani Muslims in a lot of shows, I hate to say this, but we often see them as villains. Right? And now we've got a hero, a brand new hero. With, you know, nods to her culture when she's putting on the cuff. And that's the cuff that gives her the, you know, these powers, these superpowers. 00;09;51;21 - 00;10;28;17 Speaker 3 So we know we're going to hear some some more about these superpowers perhaps being passed down, her family and sort of ancestral. We saw her family members speaking Urdu. We saw them talking about Allah. We saw them, you know, clearly a devout Muslim family who has who is, you know, a little bit more conservative in their upbringing of their daughter and how their daughter is trying to rebel a little bit and how her brother kind of is trying to help her and help her navigate the cultural differences in her family. 00;10;28;24 - 00;10;51;04 Speaker 3 I thought it was wonderful. You know, we don't see a lot of or we haven't seen a lot of different cultural representation. And MCU is doing, I think, a very good job of that. But I think in general, in TV and movies, we just don't see enough of it. And so it's nice to see Disney doing that. And and it's not just I guess, the other part about it. 00;10;51;04 - 00;11;12;21 Speaker 3 It's not like they're just doing it out of nowhere, right? It's in the comics, in the Marvel Comics, in the Marvel Comics are also known for being much better than a lot of other sort of mainstream media, for being multicultural, for representing people from all walks of life, from different, you know, ethnicities religions, all that kind of stuff. 00;11;12;21 - 00;11;30;20 Speaker 3 So it's really nice that this is not even it's not totally brand new. It's really taking from the comics and putting it on the big screen. It's also, of course, as we talked about last week, nice to see just a young, you know, a young hero, a teenage hero dealing with all of the things that teenagers deal with. 00;11;30;20 - 00;11;51;01 Speaker 3 So, yeah, I thought it was great. I think we'll see more of it probably throughout the show. But I think it's going to be focused a lot on the clash, I think, between her parents and what they want, in particular her mother and what her mother wants versus what Carla wants. You know, so I think it's it's it's really nice. 00;11;51;01 - 00;12;15;23 Speaker 3 The only the only other famous Carmela who says it different is Kamala Harris, our vice president. So different slightly different pronunciation also from South Asian background, but Indian background versus a Pakistani background. Yeah. Anything to. Oh, well, you know, there's a couple other things I forgot, which is that the I believe the director is also a South Asian woman. 00;12;16;02 - 00;12;27;10 Speaker 3 I think some of the writers also have South Asian backgrounds. It's a very diverse production staffs and writing staff, which is also nice to see. Of course. 00;12;27;23 - 00;12;51;21 Speaker 4 Yeah. And that's part of what makes it so authentic. It's not just a you know, here we're going to slap this person in to be our our representation, but it's actually authentic representation, which is really nice. And you talked about the mother back and forth with her. And I think one of her lines that I don't think many people picked up on is the are you going to be good like we taught you or are you going to be cosmic at the end? 00;12;52;00 - 00;13;00;05 Speaker 4 And I think that is going to set up sort of the movement forward that line is going to be brought back again, I'm pretty sure. 00;13;00;17 - 00;13;02;28 Speaker 2 And then her line of totally cosmic. 00;13;03;05 - 00;13;06;27 Speaker 3 Yes. Yes. And that. Yeah. 00;13;06;27 - 00;13;14;01 Speaker 2 And not only is she representing a Pakistani shows that the actress was actually born in Pakistan. 00;13;14;18 - 00;13;15;00 Speaker 3 Oh. 00;13;15;06 - 00;13;16;10 Speaker 1 Oh, I didn't know that. 00;13;16;10 - 00;13;17;16 Speaker 3 Yeah, she was born again. 00;13;17;16 - 00;13;39;11 Speaker 2 I make you all feel old. She was born in 2002 so she's so she's 19 feels like 16 playing a 16 year old which to me is the way to do it rather than the other way. Although we'll get to Obi Wan later but yeah she was and now she lives family lives in Canada, but she was actually born in Karachi, Pakistan. 00;13;40;03 - 00;13;58;03 Speaker 4 So there is that she's the perfect choice because she's representing a total fan girl and she herself is a total fan girl. And hearing her talk about the show is like listening to Kamala talk about superheroes. It's just like they picked so well for her character. 00;13;59;20 - 00;14;19;23 Speaker 3 Totally. She was. Yeah, I loved in the we talked a little bit about the preview for the show last week and I loved how they interviewed her and, and how she came. You know, she showed a picture of the costume that she had made when she was, you know, a pre-teen or early teen years of her dressed as Captain Marvel. 00;14;20;02 - 00;14;20;19 Speaker 2 Miss Marvel, I'm. 00;14;20;21 - 00;14;27;23 Speaker 3 Sorry, is it's miserable night, Captain Marvel. But she's like, yeah, she's a huge fan. Girl, and that's just awesome. Awesome. 00;14;27;24 - 00;15;03;16 Speaker 1 And it works it her innocence and her excitement. I'm so glad that they released that preview before the show because that means I went into this exactly what Michael was talking about, knowing that she was a fan girl, knowing that she is she's very knowledgeable in the MCU. So watching like one of my favorite parts of this entire episode, was the the beginning montage was having her her narrate that and she like so good. 00;15;03;26 - 00;15;12;14 Speaker 1 So Mike, nailed it when he said like they cast a fan girl and she I believed her the entire time. I believed her. 00;15;12;23 - 00;15;28;06 Speaker 2 So although is there anyone else that got very Diary of a Wimpy Kid vibes from some of the art throughout this whole thing. So and I'm not saying that's a bad thing, but that's just what it reminded me of was different arts through The Diary of a Wimpy Kid. 00;15;28;10 - 00;15;37;15 Speaker 3 Yeah, a little bit. I loved the art, actually, and we could talk about that more a little later on in our discussion. But yeah, a little bit of that Diary of a Wimpy Kid feel. 00;15;38;16 - 00;16;19;12 Speaker 1 I will add in just a little bit of a side note, how much I do appreciate the cultural representation and how they showed this family that that very much valued tradition and, and culture and like kind of by the book. But then also the dad covered himself in Green paint to be the Hulk like to me because I feel like a lot of times especially that culture is viewed and I would say the Asian cultures also viewed this way that it's like rigid by the book. 00;16;19;14 - 00;16;43;19 Speaker 1 No fun is had. And to me this showed that while yes, they have tradition and they have rules that they also have a fun, playful side. And that made it very like, oh, like, oh, I like it this a lot when the when the debt when the mom pulled out the whole costume that she made and then the dad busts through the door. 00;16;43;19 - 00;16;49;03 Speaker 1 I mean, I just couldn't help but laugh, so I, I loved that part. 00;16;49;27 - 00;16;53;03 Speaker 3 Yeah. And then you wanted to cry at her reaction, though, right? 00;16;53;23 - 00;16;55;01 Speaker 1 At her reaction. 00;16;55;10 - 00;16;55;20 Speaker 3 Mm hmm. 00;16;56;10 - 00;17;10;16 Speaker 2 I will also say, though, they talked about the different representations how the son is very rigid, always praying, always. And the dad's going was that it was either the dad or mom that said one can pray too much. The dad is the dad. 00;17;10;26 - 00;17;14;20 Speaker 4 So and the whole you don't really have to check your mirrors. Just pretend like you are. 00;17;15;04 - 00;17;15;14 Speaker 2 Yeah. 00;17;16;01 - 00;17;16;14 Speaker 3 Yes. 00;17;17;16 - 00;17;20;28 Speaker 2 I mean, no, I always check my mirrors every 15 seconds. Yeah. 00;17;21;02 - 00;17;25;00 Speaker 1 As a girl almost failed her driver's test. I feel this. 00;17;26;03 - 00;17;47;22 Speaker 4 Well, and the great thing about representation of this is it's a authentic family that shows it's not. There are the people who are taking their faith super, super, super seriously. And then there's those that are taking it seriously in a different way. And I like that representation and that their culture isn't just all just strict. 00;17;48;07 - 00;18;05;17 Speaker 3 Like you already say, it's not a monolith. Right? Yeah. I mean, that's not there's not one way to be a Muslim. There's not one way to be Pakistani. Right? There's there is a range of what people practice and how they live. And you see that even in that microcosm of one family. Absolutely. 00;18;05;29 - 00;18;25;21 Speaker 4 And that's one of the things that happened a lot in the comics is this real humanizing of a of a whole group of people we haven't seen. And people were concerned, is that going to carry through with the show? And after this first episode, it's like, wow. Yep. It is definitely going to carry through. And I think that's something that's going to keep a lot of fans very, very happy now. 00;18;26;01 - 00;18;48;22 Speaker 2 OK, so that will keep a lot of fans very, very happy. What has made a lot of fans very very unhappy is her powers in this. And Micah, I'm going to leave this one definitely to you. These are completely different than they are in the comics. So can you talk a little bit about how they are in the comics versus how we're seeing her so far on screen? 00;18;49;14 - 00;19;17;20 Speaker 4 Yeah, this. Yeah, this is one of those conflicts that the fans almost didn't want to watch the show because of in the comics. She can morph her body into all different ways. The one that most people would sort of lean towards is either elastic girl in the or what are they called Incredible Cannibals? Definitely similar to that. Or like Mr. Fantastic from the Fantastic Four. 00;19;18;01 - 00;19;35;24 Speaker 4 And I think part of their thinking was that they are going to have Mr. Fantastic hopefully at some point with the Fantastic Four and a lot of the visual things that they're going to do for him they want to save it for him and not have another character. Take it. The other thing is the fans have seen those on the comics. 00;19;35;24 - 00;19;56;01 Speaker 4 It's OK to do that stretchy thing, but what they found from watching, like people watching it, they get grossed out and almost sick to their stomach, which I've never experienced that. But that's sort of what Marvel has said so this power set is been one of those things that a lot of us fans have been going, Oh, how is this going to work? 00;19;56;01 - 00;20;18;27 Speaker 4 What are they going to do? Are they going to change her origin story from being an Inhuman to something else? And the new power set of this hard light is just so totally different but yet we see some nods to what happened in the past. Her first use of the powers in the comics was to stretch out her arm and rescue a woman from the. 00;20;19;06 - 00;20;45;19 Speaker 4 Actually, it's the same it's the same girl, but rescued her from a river, which I found it funny that they said that she was the one who had fallen in multiple times. Into that river. But it's that same thing when she drops off the hammer, the stretching out of the arm. And then in the final scene, we see it straight from the comics but that's sort of the we're still going to be able to do the same kind of things of her extended limbs with these new powers. 00;20;46;28 - 00;21;16;06 Speaker 4 The piece that I and I was talking with you guys earlier about that. I'm not sure if they're going to be able to do that. I really liked with the old comics of her doing it is when she first comes and is rescuing someone, she looks like Carol Danvers, like Captain Marvel, tall, thin, blond, and in part of her story, learning to know I can look like myself, like a brown girl from Jersey City. 00;21;17;00 - 00;21;30;29 Speaker 4 That's part of her story, which I don't know that we will quite see that with the new power set, but I really liked with the old one. So I'm curious to see how they do that. It's OK to look the way you do. And that was a big part of the comics. 00;21;32;16 - 00;21;49;28 Speaker 3 Yeah. Wasn't there a different. Well, there's also a different origin story, right. Of how she gets that those powers. Can you tell us a little bit about. I read a little bit about it, but I have not read the comics, so I don't really necessarily get it. There's some kind of mist or something. Yeah, but turgid mist. OK, yeah. 00;21;49;28 - 00;21;59;16 Speaker 3 So there are some mist and I know it's an agents of shield, right? But they're like ignoring agents of shield in the MCU is what I was reading. So. But I'm. 00;21;59;16 - 00;22;00;06 Speaker 2 Not against the. 00;22;00;06 - 00;22;23;01 Speaker 3 Shield. Right? There was. Exactly. Thank you. Jedi mind trick or playing here. But why? Why do you think they did that? Not not ignoring agents of SHIELD, but why do you think we were not seeing her get her powers from the myths and instead it's the powers are from the cuff. The one thing I'm I'm questioning is, are the powers now still in the cuff or have they been imbued in her? 00;22;23;01 - 00;22;29;13 Speaker 3 Right. So if she's not wearing the cuff, will she still have those powers? We don't know yet, right? Yeah. 00;22;30;02 - 00;22;52;10 Speaker 4 And they refer to it as a bangle, I think is what the the bracelet thing. So I'm curious to see and I think this next episode is going to really dove into talking a lot more about her powers and her figuring it out. There's actually two shows that the MCU had originally said this is canon and now are sort of going, oh, because they didn't go well. 00;22;53;00 - 00;23;02;04 Speaker 4 The first three episodes, first three seasons of Agents of Shield worked really well. And then they started getting ahead of the movies and then suddenly. 00;23;02;04 - 00;23;03;11 Speaker 3 And then they jumped the shark. 00;23;03;26 - 00;23;14;26 Speaker 4 Right? So they threw them out. But they also did an Inhumans series, which bombed very, very badly. Now, it's interesting that they have brought. 00;23;15;01 - 00;23;16;29 Speaker 1 It can confirm, have watched. 00;23;17;14 - 00;23;18;01 Speaker 4 Yeah. 00;23;18;18 - 00;23;21;19 Speaker 3 I like what what was that? What was that? 00;23;22;07 - 00;23;24;09 Speaker 4 It was the Inhumans story, which the. 00;23;24;17 - 00;23;28;14 Speaker 3 I literally have never even heard of it. It's kind of God forbid. 00;23;29;12 - 00;23;35;09 Speaker 4 There were like three actors that people are like they did a good job. The rest of it, the writing was horrible. 00;23;35;18 - 00;23;36;08 Speaker 3 So that. 00;23;36;22 - 00;24;02;13 Speaker 4 So there's this well, we went down the inhuman route with two shows and it bombed and I think they're trying to steer away from that with the so the way that it's going to link, I think coming forward is looking at some of the future movies with the Secret Invasion is going to be a lot with two space races, the undead, which. 00;24;02;13 - 00;24;05;02 Speaker 2 Will which will be a series, not a movie. 00;24;05;03 - 00;24;06;04 Speaker 4 Oh, series, yes. 00;24;06;04 - 00;24;06;27 Speaker 2 That's a series. 00;24;07;01 - 00;24;11;13 Speaker 4 Yeah. But I think also will link to the Marvel's, which will be a movie, right? 00;24;11;19 - 00;24;12;04 Speaker 2 Correct. 00;24;13;01 - 00;24;43;02 Speaker 4 In that the there's two space races that are sort of always at war, and it's the Cree and the Scrolls who we've seen before. And the Cree are the ones who have experimented with humans and that's where the Inhumans come from with the Trojan mess. Her original origin story is the Trojan Mass gets released over most of the planet, and that really was picked up in Agents of Shield, and it was actually mirroring what was happening in the comics at the time. 00;24;44;07 - 00;25;07;12 Speaker 4 And that was a large part of the plot there. And they're trying to not have agents of SHIELD, so they're trying to go a different direction in that, though, when she puts on the bangle and there was that rolling of the hard light across her body and then her falling back into that that realm, people are saying could that be the new way of doing the Trojan Mass? 00;25;08;12 - 00;25;33;24 Speaker 4 And is it that it's triggering her powers? And what happened when the Trojan mess comes as they were sort of in a cocoon and then they break out of it and often they've been changed to look different or they have a different power set. So for her, it's a power set. So we don't know. And I think it's going to be the interesting thing of it would be a great scene of, you know, the bangle gets knocked off of her and can she still do it or not? 00;25;35;10 - 00;25;37;18 Speaker 4 So I think we'll see a scene like that, hopefully. 00;25;37;18 - 00;25;40;00 Speaker 3 I'm really curious about that question. 00;25;40;00 - 00;25;45;12 Speaker 2 And when will we find it? Because if you look at how the mother reacted to her with that bangle. 00;25;45;24 - 00;25;45;29 Speaker 3 Yes. 00;25;46;02 - 00;25;53;20 Speaker 2 Knows what the grandmother had the powers and the mother might have the powers. And now she's seen it with the daughter. 00;25;53;26 - 00;26;15;03 Speaker 3 Well, and does the mother have powers? Because the mother can get food ready real, real fast. Feel like mom? I just I feel like, well, I feel like the mother might have, like, dash type powers. When I say dash, I mean like The Incredibles. Incredible. OK, yeah. I'm thinking the mom has some kind of dash type powers. I don't you know, that's my prediction. 00;26;15;14 - 00;26;15;22 Speaker 3 Well. 00;26;16;00 - 00;26;26;17 Speaker 4 The inhuman genes were passed down from generation to generation, and if they weren't triggered yeah, they don't they don't manifest. 00;26;26;25 - 00;26;31;03 Speaker 3 Right. So maybe the Bengal doesn't give her the powers. Maybe the Bengal just triggered the power. 00;26;31;04 - 00;26;31;28 Speaker 4 Right? Right. 00;26;32;10 - 00;26;33;06 Speaker 3 Interesting. 00;26;33;09 - 00;26;49;23 Speaker 4 They the technology. I think I might be jumping ahead a little bit. The technology for that, I think, was recognized in the show in the final scene with the cop who we saw in Spiderman who. Yeah, we'll come back to that a little bit. 00;26;49;24 - 00;27;16;08 Speaker 2 Yeah, we'll come back. We'll come back to that here in our next section, which we'll be talking about, guys. OK, we've got all these people, but we haven't seen a really bad guy yet. And for those of you who have have watched it but did not stick around for the credits, there was a mid credit scene. So which is crucial to this part as far as who was the villain. 00;27;16;26 - 00;27;47;04 Speaker 2 And I'm going to kind of lead this one off because I think there are really three very, very viable options for this. The first one of this is person known as either bird man or the inventor. Or Edison. In that opening montage, there was a very definite picture of a cockatoo, you know, the white bird with the crest and that is basically the top half of how the bird man was drawn. 00;27;47;21 - 00;27;51;20 Speaker 2 And it had question marks and exclamation points and big arrows pointing to it. 00;27;52;14 - 00;27;55;14 Speaker 3 So and this is all direct from the comics, right? 00;27;55;21 - 00;27;59;09 Speaker 2 You're right from the guy. He was her first villain base, the. 00;27;59;09 - 00;28;02;12 Speaker 4 First main villain. Yeah. That runs for multiple comics. 00;28;02;21 - 00;28;10;01 Speaker 2 Right. Also, when Kamala and Bruno are sitting on the roof and Myka, did you ever check is his name Bruno in the comics? 00;28;10;06 - 00;28;11;07 Speaker 4 Yes, it is. 00;28;11;19 - 00;28;14;10 Speaker 2 OK, so otherwise Disney made a terrible name choice. 00;28;14;22 - 00;28;15;10 Speaker 3 But. Right. 00;28;15;12 - 00;28;16;13 Speaker 4 Yeah, because we don't. 00;28;16;19 - 00;28;18;15 Speaker 3 Because we don't talk about Bruno. Yeah. 00;28;19;22 - 00;28;55;19 Speaker 2 But when they're sitting on the roof, the big sign behind them is Edison Electric. So it's the Edison Electric Building. That they're in. I think that there are very and one of the big first plots he has was controlling teens, especially Bruno's brother on this. So Bruno, his brother in the comics and a comic, three or four, one of the two, Bruno, his brother actually is under control, comes in, robs the convenience store that Bruno works at and Miss Marvel comes in and stops it. 00;28;56;01 - 00;29;03;06 Speaker 3 But we don't even know if he has a brother yet. In fact, I don't think he does because he just lives with like a grandmother or something. 00;29;03;06 - 00;29;04;04 Speaker 4 Well, we haven't. We haven't. 00;29;04;06 - 00;29;04;23 Speaker 2 We don't know. 00;29;05;05 - 00;29;07;07 Speaker 3 We don't know. Yeah. We've been told know that they. 00;29;07;07 - 00;29;13;11 Speaker 4 Have family but that right is probably parents. We haven't heard about the brother yet. Yeah. 00;29;13;27 - 00;29;18;09 Speaker 3 Interesting. I wonder if he's going to have a brother because he lives with these like Nona or something. 00;29;18;19 - 00;29;40;03 Speaker 1 Well, I just. I have a question for Micah. Micah, are we missing? And I guess this is this was kind of true in I almost said White Knight in Moon Night. But do you feel like as because I know I've only read. Sorry, there is a storm here, and that thunder just scared me. 00;29;40;12 - 00;29;44;08 Speaker 3 Oh, my God, that was really loud. We could hear it. We could hear like, wow. 00;29;45;08 - 00;29;47;21 Speaker 1 But anyway. Oh, yes. I mean, my. 00;29;48;01 - 00;29;48;13 Speaker 3 Heart. 00;29;51;14 - 00;30;05;17 Speaker 1 Do you feel like the only comic books I've really read were part of the Captain America ones? And do you feel like we're missing a lot of Easter eggs by not reading the actual comic books? 00;30;07;09 - 00;30;11;22 Speaker 2 But OK, but Myka, are those Easter eggs actually important that we're missing? 00;30;12;14 - 00;30;42;03 Speaker 4 I think one of the things with this show is my wife and daughter, my daughter, 16, doesn't necessarily get into Marvel much at all. Would not have touched Midnight at all, even if I paid her to. Both of them watched sort of over my shoulder fell in love with this show. I think the power of some of how Marvel is doing stuff and they've been doing this from the very beginning is they have those Easter eggs in there for the people like me who know so much of it. 00;30;42;18 - 00;31;05;12 Speaker 4 And they also do a really good job of bringing the new person in. They often talk about it as the they want to draw in the girlfriend. You know, you've got the the fan guy who's like me, who's been reading since the nineties. They come along with their girlfriend who's coming along for the date. But, you know, it doesn't really like the movie and gets drawn in because of the humor and that they actually create relatable characters. 00;31;05;19 - 00;31;10;02 Speaker 4 And that's one of the ways DC has sort of failed with their superhero characters. 00;31;10;06 - 00;31;32;03 Speaker 3 100%. 100% DC has. Like you, I feel like you have to be like a hardcore fan to really enjoy them because they're just like telling the comic book story and they're not like adding any humor. They're not. There's no other like, you don't care about the characters unless you cared about them from the comics. Like, it's a very different universe. 00;31;32;03 - 00;31;44;23 Speaker 3 I completely agree with you there. I would say I think the villain that hasn't been mentioned, though, are these two. They're these two people in the credits scene. 00;31;44;26 - 00;31;51;21 Speaker 2 I want Segway. Yeah. Who Myka might. Yeah. Tell me about those two people in that in the scene. 00;31;51;27 - 00;32;19;24 Speaker 4 So the one of them we've seen before, the guy was the cop who was. Yeah, last seen interviewing Spider-Man and his his friends when Spider-Man was Peter Parker was arrested with some of the things that we've been saying with him actually go back to, oh, boy, now I'm going to forget which movie it is, which is the one where you think it's Oh, now I'm losing names. 00;32;20;11 - 00;32;21;18 Speaker 4 Black guy with the patch. 00;32;22;12 - 00;32;23;05 Speaker 2 Nick Fury. 00;32;23;16 - 00;32;29;03 Speaker 4 You think it's Nick Fury? Oh, that, I guess is Spider-Man where you think it's Nick Fury the whole time. And it's actually a scroll. 00;32;29;03 - 00;32;29;29 Speaker 3 Scroll, yeah. 00;32;30;07 - 00;32;32;07 Speaker 4 And one of the things that they talk about. 00;32;32;10 - 00;32;33;17 Speaker 3 Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. 00;32;34;22 - 00;32;35;06 Speaker 2 Whoa. 00;32;35;25 - 00;32;37;08 Speaker 3 This isn't Spider-Man. Man. 00;32;37;14 - 00;32;39;11 Speaker 4 It's Spiderman. Oh, Derek has one. 00;32;39;19 - 00;32;40;12 Speaker 2 No way home. 00;32;40;14 - 00;32;40;26 Speaker 4 No way. 00;32;40;26 - 00;32;42;04 Speaker 3 I don't know how much. 00;32;42;04 - 00;32;43;24 Speaker 2 I need to watch that now. 00;32;43;28 - 00;32;49;07 Speaker 3 Yeah, probably. Well, you don't have to you're not going to. You don't have to. You're not. 00;32;49;08 - 00;32;56;01 Speaker 2 Well, I don't know after episode two, how this detective stuff goes, whether I really need to go watch it or not. 00;32;56;08 - 00;32;56;22 Speaker 3 Right. 00;32;56;27 - 00;33;14;26 Speaker 4 The line that he says is that there are creepy sleeper cells, which that is the the Inhumans, in a way, so that could be her grandmother might have been one of these creepy sleeper cells, and it's passed on so. 00;33;14;27 - 00;33;17;12 Speaker 2 Far from home is Nick Fury is a troll. 00;33;17;15 - 00;33;19;13 Speaker 4 Yes. Yeah. So that's that's the right one. 00;33;19;17 - 00;33;26;25 Speaker 2 So not the not the no way home right. Far from home with the most recent one or not. 00;33;28;20 - 00;33;30;27 Speaker 4 So it's not the first one. It's the one before. 00;33;31;03 - 00;33;32;00 Speaker 2 The one before. 00;33;32;02 - 00;33;35;04 Speaker 4 Right? Yeah. Yeah. 00;33;35;04 - 00;33;41;06 Speaker 3 So it's. Oh, yeah. It's the one. It's the one with them. Jake Gyllenhaal. Yeah. Yep, yep. That's the second one. 00;33;42;20 - 00;33;47;06 Speaker 2 Homer he comes in Marvel White, huh? There's a throwback for you. 00;33;47;21 - 00;33;58;11 Speaker 3 Yeah. Yeah. Jake Gyllenhaal. When he when he plays that other hero character, I'll just say that for no spoilers for people who haven't seen it. Cool. 00;33;58;24 - 00;34;08;05 Speaker 4 So going back to those two cops, just real quickly, the last thing I'll say with them when the female cop and I don't think they've named her yet or at least I missed that, she says, oh, I haven't. 00;34;08;05 - 00;34;08;16 Speaker 3 Seen. 00;34;08;16 - 00;34;23;19 Speaker 4 A power set like this yet. And if you look at the male cops face, it's like, oh, it looks like he has. So it's this is he a scroll? And that would make sense. With what happened in Spiderman. 00;34;24;00 - 00;34;25;15 Speaker 2 Or is he a. 00;34;27;09 - 00;34;27;27 Speaker 3 Oh. 00;34;28;08 - 00;34;32;20 Speaker 4 Could be. I think he would be more excited. I don't know the way. 00;34;33;09 - 00;34;53;16 Speaker 3 Yeah, I think he's going to be creepy because he's probably hunting you. But yes, mysterious. Thank you. No mystery. It was Jake Gyllenhaal's character. Thank you, Pete. I couldn't think of the name. No, but I think more likely I'm with you, Mike. I think if he's going if he's an alien undercover, then he's going to be he's going to be a scroll. 00;34;53;24 - 00;34;56;02 Speaker 3 Yeah. And because he's hunting Corey. 00;34;56;22 - 00;34;57;10 Speaker 2 Right? Yeah. 00;34;57;21 - 00;35;20;20 Speaker 3 Otherwise, he could just be a bad guy from Shield basically. Right. Sort of the reincarnation of Shield or Hydra or whatever you want to call it now, right? He doesn't even have to be. He you don't have to be an alien. He could just be a human and still be a villain. Let me just say that I actually because my first instinct when seeing those two officers, I was like, ooh, they're the new Hydra people. 00;35;20;25 - 00;35;25;15 Speaker 3 That was what I was thinking. I wasn't going I my brain did not go to alien land. 00;35;25;26 - 00;35;33;12 Speaker 4 So I forget what the new agency's called that they work with. But I think there's links to the word sword well, it's sword, but what's on there? 00;35;33;14 - 00;35;40;22 Speaker 3 It's the defense of. Yeah, it's like it's like the defense of the dark arts or something. I know I'm in a different. 00;35;41;11 - 00;35;44;04 Speaker 2 Defense under Marvel. Bad guys dominate. 00;35;44;14 - 00;35;48;09 Speaker 3 Yeah, but it's. Yeah, it's so. Thank you. 00;35;48;09 - 00;35;49;15 Speaker 2 Thank you, Kate. Thank you. 00;35;50;05 - 00;35;54;25 Speaker 3 That's funny. That was I can't really remember the name. 00;35;55;22 - 00;36;20;18 Speaker 1 I'll be really honest. I watched this episode really trying to get a feel for her and her character. I wasn't even thinking about a villain. I was I. No one jumped out at me to be like, ooh, I bet they're the bad guy. Like, no one. So and that's wild to me because usually there's always somebody who you're like, oh, look, are. 00;36;20;18 - 00;36;21;08 Speaker 3 You not. 00;36;21;08 - 00;36;23;08 Speaker 2 Always going to not always in the first episode? 00;36;23;08 - 00;36;24;06 Speaker 3 Yeah, we not always. 00;36;24;09 - 00;36;25;05 Speaker 2 The first episode. 00;36;25;06 - 00;36;40;03 Speaker 3 And we didn't know in I want to bring us back to to Captain America. Yeah. Yeah, I've been a Winter Soldier. Exactly. That is exactly what I was going to say. I was going to say Captain America in Winter Soldier, Falcon and Winter Soldier, which is what it was called at the very end. 00;36;40;03 - 00;36;40;28 Speaker 2 Hey, you know, spoilers. 00;36;40;28 - 00;36;56;28 Speaker 3 For spoilers, the Falcon and Winter Soldier. We didn't know who the villain was for a couple of episodes, actually. And then we had multiple villains, right? I was thinking and Pete says this in the comments, he had no clue at all who the villain was. I felt the same way throughout the whole show until we got to that credit scene. 00;36;56;28 - 00;37;13;11 Speaker 3 Once we got to that credit scene, I was like, oh, they're the villain or they are a part of the agency that will be our villain. Right. Well, but I think but I think Derek's prediction about this other Edison and, you know, cockatoo sword, it sounds really silly, but. 00;37;13;13 - 00;37;14;24 Speaker 2 There's a there's a third. 00;37;15;04 - 00;37;15;22 Speaker 3 There's another. 00;37;15;22 - 00;37;34;15 Speaker 2 Option. Yeah, there is a third option. The third option is actually a gentleman called Cameron. Cameron. And I'm guessing Cameron he is in the comics. He is another in Human. He has powers. 00;37;35;17 - 00;37;37;15 Speaker 4 We are totally doing spoilers here. 00;37;38;06 - 00;37;46;28 Speaker 2 Yeah, he is into the same thing. He is he's Muslim. He has parental approved dating material. 00;37;47;08 - 00;38;01;19 Speaker 4 And that's how he starts is he is the love interest and sort of sets up this triangle where Bruno wants to be the love interest. But this other guy is and boy, if this comes out, we've really spoiled it for a lot of people. 00;38;01;27 - 00;38;19;01 Speaker 2 And he is working actually for OK, massive spoilers coming. He's working for a lineage which is a gangster who wants Kamala to help take over the cop, the Inhumans capital city. A, it's already been confirmed that he is on the show. 00;38;19;08 - 00;38;20;03 Speaker 3 I'm gonna take you. 00;38;20;03 - 00;38;26;02 Speaker 1 Right in the shin. I'm gonna kick you right in the shin. Let me take you. I'm a kick. Yeah. 00;38;27;05 - 00;38;27;21 Speaker 3 I'm a kick. 00;38;27;21 - 00;38;30;22 Speaker 2 You got to get on a plane first gate, so. 00;38;31;07 - 00;38;31;16 Speaker 3 Yeah. 00;38;32;15 - 00;38;35;00 Speaker 2 Oh, well, I think they're in July. 00;38;35;17 - 00;39;04;10 Speaker 4 This third one, I think is probably, for me, the one that I think is I'm hoping they go there. And I. I actually think that the two cops are going to be sort of like her parents in that she doesn't want to be a, a bad girl. She wants to be what they expect. And the, the cops are going to have their expectations of her, her parents are going to have her their expectations. 00;39;04;10 - 00;39;23;14 Speaker 4 And it's her trying not to be rebellious, trying to be a good girl, and yet trying to also be a superhero in the midst of it. And I kind of hope that they take it that way because it's a lot more of the figuring out who she is. And they're not really bad, but they will sometimes go against her. 00;39;23;22 - 00;39;58;13 Speaker 3 On the ice. So I looked it up who they are. So they are Cleary and Dever. Cleary is the man who questioned Peter Parker in Spiderman No Way Home. And Dever is the woman and they are from the U.S. Department of Damage Control. I love it. I think the name is just classic. I didn't I think I mean, just looking it up on a recap and I actually love the one who's playing Cleary and I mentioned this in our pre-show conversation, but he played the lawyer in this show inventing Anna that came out on Netflix not too long ago. 00;39;58;13 - 00;40;05;20 Speaker 3 And, you know, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Derek. I don't have time for this. I don't have time for you. 00;40;08;27 - 00;40;28;25 Speaker 2 Money for Netflix. So, so OK. Well, we've kind of dived into a little bit of the deeper stuff. Kate, I'm going to kind of go to you. What other observations do you have about this episode? What did you like? What what else did you like? What else didn't you like? 00;40;29;03 - 00;40;49;00 Speaker 1 So one of the things that I loved was how they shot this video or this video, this episode I loved the cinematography aspects of it. I loved one of my other favorite parts is when they're having the text conversation her and Bruno. Is that it's Bruno, right? 00;40;49;08 - 00;40;50;22 Speaker 3 Yes. It's so good. 00;40;51;01 - 00;41;14;10 Speaker 1 Yeah. And when he's walking and the emoji is on the concrete and then it's in this sign and like that to me was so good. Instead of having this little bubble pop up with something or it scrolled up and it was like a billboard, and all it said was dot, dot, dot. And I was like, that, that's so good. 00;41;14;10 - 00;41;36;21 Speaker 1 Like, I literally just sat and watched, and I was like, that, the shooting of that and that the development of that I thought was brilliant. I again, we already said this love how this actress portrays this character. I have a feeling she is not having to act a lot. I have a feeling that a lot of it is just her. 00;41;37;25 - 00;41;41;09 Speaker 2 At least on this episode. Yes. Being the fangirl. Yeah. 00;41;41;11 - 00;42;09;02 Speaker 1 Yes. Mike, I like what you said about this being a possible different version of Terra Genesis and have how that, like, encompassed her body and then broke away or whatever as someone who has been watching all of the Marvel TV shows, I know all about Terra Genesis, but I hadn't thought about it that way. So I like that a lot I am very excited to see where this goes. 00;42;09;02 - 00;42;12;07 Speaker 1 I don't know where this will go, and I'm excited to see where it goes. 00;42;12;29 - 00;42;15;08 Speaker 2 Lets me make Mike up. 00;42;16;05 - 00;42;37;08 Speaker 4 Well, just one other thing that we haven't talked about at all, but I think has a connection to Moonlight and also to Black Panther. Is when she falls backwards into when she first gets the bango on and the energy goes across her and then she falls back in. There's all those people there with the glowing eyes. Who are they? 00;42;39;00 - 00;43;01;28 Speaker 4 I think that is the part that hooked me the most that I'm like, I want to know what that is. And I've read a bunch of fan theories and gone, Yeah, I don't like any of those, but yeah. Is that her relatives that this is like of her ancestors? Maybe because we see ancestors like that and the lighting, it's the same kind of that purply color that is. 00;43;02;17 - 00;43;03;15 Speaker 3 Both a right. 00;43;03;18 - 00;43;33;29 Speaker 4 Well, Black Panther, but then also Moon Night, we saw that same kind of color into the what do they call it in the over verse and is this another version of that? Is this her falling into Terra Genesis yeah. The other piece that I will note when they when Bruno made her the gloves, they are photon gloves which at first when I was reading it, I was like, oh, that must be Captain Marvel. 00;43;34;11 - 00;43;44;08 Speaker 4 It's not photon is the the character. There's two names in the comics for her either spectrum or Photon. It's the Rambo. 00;43;44;09 - 00;43;45;08 Speaker 2 Moniker. Rambo. 00;43;45;15 - 00;44;02;22 Speaker 4 Yes, a Monica Rambo character. So this is that nod to her and that Kamala actually knows about her. And I love that. How how is it that we have this knowledge of what happened and you know, end game? How did, how do we know what happened in end game? Well, there's a podcast. 00;44;02;22 - 00;44;04;14 Speaker 2 It was done at man's podcast, right? 00;44;04;25 - 00;44;06;09 Speaker 3 It's is really. 00;44;06;12 - 00;44;15;18 Speaker 4 Fantastic. That's a great way to you know, we have this knowledge now because Ant-Man is having a podcast, man. I want to hear that podcast. I think that's awesome. 00;44;15;28 - 00;44;23;04 Speaker 3 That would be a great spin off. They could do they could do some podcast episodes. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I would be awesome. I love that. 00;44;23;16 - 00;44;27;21 Speaker 4 So those are some of my other observations that really I'm excited to see where they go with. 00;44;28;01 - 00;44;51;25 Speaker 3 Yeah, I can't believe nobody has mentioned the animated graffiti. Oh, my goodness. I mean, I know you mentioned the cockatiel at the beginning of the show, Derek, but the animated graffiti is such it's so cool. Pete mentions in the comic, come in the comments excuse me that it's very much like Scott Pilgrim versus the World. And that's a high compliment. 00;44;51;25 - 00;44;53;14 Speaker 3 I totally agree with you there. 00;44;53;18 - 00;44;54;10 Speaker 2 You haven't seen it. 00;44;54;26 - 00;45;05;01 Speaker 3 It I so I like this better I'm going to say but but Scott Pilgrim versus the world does a lot of animated stuff in a live action one. 00;45;05;04 - 00;45;08;13 Speaker 2 OK 10 seconds what is Scott Pilgrim versus the world. 00;45;09;08 - 00;45;16;05 Speaker 3 It's it's where he's fighting his girlfriend's evil ex-boyfriends throughout the movie OK and that that. 00;45;16;12 - 00;45;17;15 Speaker 2 Is that Netflix is it a. 00;45;17;15 - 00;45;38;22 Speaker 3 Movie gosh it was a movie before it was a movie before any of the I it's I'm sure it's on one of the service OK but it's I never had I haven't seen yeah I haven't seen it in a long time but it was a I think it was a graphic novel turned into a movie and then they did all this animation stuff like like you know how in the comics where somebody gets punched and it goes, you know, pow. 00;45;38;23 - 00;45;56;04 Speaker 3 Right. So they would do an animated POW, right? Well, I like this even better because we've got in the background all this stuff happening on walls, you know, on buildings, all this animation happening. And some of it is related to what they're. There we go. Yeah. Thank you. 00;45;56;05 - 00;45;58;23 Speaker 2 The movie better and it's actually on Peacock. 00;45;59;13 - 00;46;20;19 Speaker 3 OK, there you go. I knew it had to be on some streaming service, but but but the movie came out before there were all these streaming services so it was actually in the movie theater first. But I loved it. A lot of the animation that's going on is stuff that they're talking about in conversation. So Kamala and Bruno are talking about, what was it, Zombie Iron Man or something like that. 00;46;20;19 - 00;46;42;25 Speaker 3 And then all of a sudden you see the Zombie Iron Man on the walls of the building behind them. I thought I thought this was a great touch. It's similar to the emojis where they're having that text conversation, you know, just the way that they're doing things visually is really, really smart and really, really funny and really fun to watch. 00;46;42;25 - 00;47;00;06 Speaker 3 So I also don't really know where this is going as far as, you know, who's the villain. Although I didn't like that she dropped and left those gloves in the bathroom. I wonder if we can have a villain that finds those gloves and uses them for evil, but I guess we'll be the inventor. Yeah. Yeah. So we'll have to wait and see. 00;47;00;16 - 00;47;22;16 Speaker 3 Well, the other part that that intrigued me is, is that Bruno, is that Bruno is an inventor now. He is you know, he is Bruno is a he's like another Tony Stark, right. With all his gadgets and what he's creating. So I thought that was great. I loved that he dressed as Dr. Bruce Banner. He didn't dress as the Hulk to Avenger con. 00;47;22;16 - 00;47;44;04 Speaker 3 He dressed as Dr. Bruce Banner. But yeah, there's just so many great little things that this show has has given us in in one episode. You guys, I cannot believe that that was only one episode. I know we don't know who's the villain yet. I know we don't know exactly where it's going, but I feel like we've gotten so much out of just this short in this just short episode. 00;47;44;06 - 00;47;56;07 Speaker 2 Derek would totally agree. I think and my wife mentioned this, this is probably one of the visually most original Marvel series that we've had, mainly because of all the different graffiti and drawings on the screen. 00;47;58;28 - 00;48;25;03 Speaker 2 I will say as a high school teacher, I don't need all the teenage angst, guys. I'm going to I'm truly going to develop my teenage drama show bingo card, because this had the parents not understanding the guidance counselor pressuring her while trying to be super over friendly, the bullies not letting her into her locker. You've got the popular girl trying to steal her thunder. 00;48;25;13 - 00;48;47;15 Speaker 2 You've got the good friend who is trying to help you've got the kids getting busted, sneaking out. You got plans not going as scheduled. And let's not forget the member of the opposite sex who is so deep in the friendzone that they'll need a bus if not a plane to get out. So because there is definitely that Bruno likes her and more than just friend likes her. 00;48;47;29 - 00;49;07;29 Speaker 2 And there was that moment where you thought she might, but it nothing happened. But it's that was my that was my main criticism. Of it. Now, I'm not even going to get started on my Marvel episode one checklist because this also hit a lot of those boxes, you know, the coming to terms with their powers and all that kind of stuff. 00;49;07;29 - 00;49;24;20 Speaker 2 It's just one of those where it hit so many cliches. That was my problem was that's why it wasn't a amazing episode for me. I mean it was good it was an amazing for for me because they hit so many cliches. 00;49;25;17 - 00;49;28;24 Speaker 4 But those are the ones that sell and they work. 00;49;28;24 - 00;49;55;01 Speaker 2 Oh, I know, I know. They sound, they work, but we'll get to my thoughts on originality within Hollywood here in just a moment. As Pete says, it was a very cliche origin story so far. Show me one. Recently that hasn't been so. Steve has said he loved it all, exceeded his expectations a while ago. Pete and guys, Skip is Pete from the show. 00;49;55;01 - 00;50;06;21 Speaker 2 He just got into Buffalo late, so he's been commenting with us like he's seen this type of cultural story before. Donna wants to follow her own path. Can we say Mulan? But like the way it's being told. 00;50;07;22 - 00;50;09;01 Speaker 3 Hello, Little Mermaid. 00;50;10;02 - 00;50;11;09 Speaker 2 Oh, everything. 00;50;11;21 - 00;50;20;08 Speaker 3 I mean, literally every one with a daughter, every movie with the daughter who does something different than her. And that's the story we. 00;50;20;16 - 00;50;23;17 Speaker 2 Brave not so much Sleeping Beauty. 00;50;24;20 - 00;50;27;05 Speaker 3 Well, because she doesn't really do well. 00;50;27;24 - 00;50;33;00 Speaker 2 No, no, no. She has a mother and a father Sleeping Beauty has a mother and a father. 00;50;33;00 - 00;50;35;29 Speaker 3 Yeah. Yeah, but they she doesn't always she gets. Yeah, yeah. 00;50;35;29 - 00;50;45;25 Speaker 2 Anyway, but she is one that has a fully functioning, OK, fully alive parental unit. Yeah, functioning. Yeah. But yeah. OK, guys. 00;50;47;25 - 00;50;55;17 Speaker 2 Real quick, what's it going to take to make this show a success super fast? What do you want to see that's going to make this show successful? Kate, I want to start with you. 00;50;57;09 - 00;50;58;17 Speaker 1 Keep doing what it's doing. 00;50;59;05 - 00;50;59;13 Speaker 2 OK? 00;50;59;27 - 00;51;00;19 Speaker 1 If my being. 00;51;01;12 - 00;51;03;11 Speaker 2 A sorry, not people. Wow, Mike. 00;51;03;11 - 00;51;03;24 Speaker 3 OK. 00;51;05;10 - 00;51;06;09 Speaker 4 Well, I'll take that as a. 00;51;06;14 - 00;51;10;14 Speaker 3 The other guy without hair. I think you you OK. 00;51;11;21 - 00;51;36;06 Speaker 4 I think I think this success is how they continue to have the teen drama stuff, but then also do explanations of how this new power set fits and where they're going with like the scroll creaks flicked. And I think that's those are the stories from the comics that I thought I liked the best and I'd love to see them represented in the show. 00;51;36;21 - 00;51;51;14 Speaker 3 OK, yeah. All right. Well, we'll make the show a success is a good villain. We need a good villain. We have really like we talked about we haven't really met or clarified who the villain is. If the villains good, the show is going to be a success. If the villains not good, the show is going to be a flop. 00;51;52;20 - 00;51;53;21 Speaker 3 And it's going to be. 00;51;54;03 - 00;52;13;18 Speaker 2 Seems to me it's going to be a flop. If they cannot get beyond the stereotype, the stereotypical teen angst and Marvin Origin story stuff, they've got to have something new. And to me, there's going to be 36 episodes of this. I think six episodes of just the drawings is not going to be enough to make this unique. Yeah. 00;52;13;21 - 00;52;15;14 Speaker 3 So no, but it'll be fun. 00;52;16;01 - 00;52;25;06 Speaker 2 It'll be fun, but it's going to get old now. Speaking of shows that are kind of starting to get older. Yeah, we had Obi-Wan Kenobi Episode four. 00;52;26;28 - 00;52;28;07 Speaker 3 You're Killing Me, Derek. 00;52;28;07 - 00;52;49;03 Speaker 2 And I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to, you know, you know, directors choice on this because I'm also a producer tonight. I'm going to start this one guys. This is really getting to be Obi-Wan Kenobi. It's Obi-Wan, it's and the split take has been achieved. 00;52;50;05 - 00;52;54;29 Speaker 1 Wow. I was not what I was expecting you to say. That almost came through my nose. That's good. 00;52;55;06 - 00;53;15;11 Speaker 2 But they didn't. They they could have killed the officer. They didn't. I think if the killer is more suspenseful, how he gets out. Remember, I knew hope when they let them get away so they can track him to their secret base. Yeah, we've seen this before. That's what they're doing in this. This is they're really. This needs to be done. 00;53;15;15 - 00;53;17;16 Speaker 2 And there really does not need to be another season. 00;53;18;03 - 00;53;21;21 Speaker 3 Kate I like it. 00;53;24;17 - 00;53;24;26 Speaker 3 Good. 00;53;25;04 - 00;53;44;10 Speaker 1 I mean, this is my favorite of all the Star Wars shows that we've watched because I find it very easy to follow. I know I know what's going on. I don't have to have an extensive knowledge of a whole different type of of being and planets and like I. 00;53;45;09 - 00;53;47;17 Speaker 2 Or 37 movies or whatever. 00;53;48;16 - 00;53;56;29 Speaker 1 I find it very easy to follow. I love the Lola Droid. Same Lola Droid. 00;53;57;00 - 00;53;59;09 Speaker 2 Which one? The Good Droid or now the evil Droid. 00;53;59;20 - 00;54;01;18 Speaker 3 We have got a red nose instead. 00;54;01;18 - 00;54;03;11 Speaker 2 Of the red light as he's tracking up. 00;54;03;11 - 00;54;04;13 Speaker 1 That's what that. 00;54;04;13 - 00;54;13;10 Speaker 3 Was. Yeah. Yeah. You didn't get that. That was the whole point of that whole thing gave that she's the tracker. Oh, I didn't. Oh. 00;54;16;11 - 00;54;17;27 Speaker 2 Lola is now on the dog. 00;54;17;27 - 00;54;18;24 Speaker 3 That we tell. 00;54;18;28 - 00;54;19;23 Speaker 2 Will not work for the. 00;54;19;23 - 00;54;24;29 Speaker 3 Empire. Just so confused. Kate, thank you for calling that. My I was like I. 00;54;24;29 - 00;54;30;13 Speaker 1 Look cute even though I was sleeping and it's like I'm like that was like I was. 00;54;30;13 - 00;54;46;22 Speaker 3 Like, oh, that was literally the most predictable thing about the whole episode. As soon as as soon as the third sister Reeva says that there was a cracker. No, no. Not when she was messing. When she was messing with it. I didn't think of it. But as soon as she said that she had a tracker, I was like, it's on Lola. 00;54;47;05 - 00;54;48;22 Speaker 1 She put something on Lola. 00;54;49;17 - 00;54;55;06 Speaker 3 And then we see the the blue light. We see it Lola and we see the red light and I was like, oh, my God. Of course, Star. 00;54;55;06 - 00;54;57;24 Speaker 2 Wars Code Red is, as Pete says. 00;54;58;10 - 00;55;02;18 Speaker 3 It is bad. You have a red light saber. You're bad. If you were. 00;55;02;21 - 00;55;05;23 Speaker 1 Mad they messed with my Lola. Yeah. 00;55;05;24 - 00;55;08;20 Speaker 3 Agreed to be good and she'll get redeemed. Yeah. 00;55;08;24 - 00;55;17;06 Speaker 1 You all know that Lola was named, I think, after a bird that Carrie Fisher had when she was a kid named Lola. 00;55;17;24 - 00;55;21;13 Speaker 3 No, I didn't know that. No. Nice little Easter egg, the more you know. 00;55;22;17 - 00;55;34;17 Speaker 1 But so. OK, well, that's fine. That's fine. Watch it. And when she was holding the Droid, I was like, OK, I'm not going to say that word. I was like, word the. 00;55;34;18 - 00;55;35;18 Speaker 3 Girl. OK. 00;55;36;14 - 00;55;44;20 Speaker 1 Listen, if you do anything to that droid, I'm coming in there and I'm going to I'm going to boop you're right on the nose. And it's what she did. 00;55;44;29 - 00;55;50;16 Speaker 3 She did well, but she didn't hurt her, which is what Kate was worried about. 00;55;50;22 - 00;55;53;10 Speaker 1 I thought she was going to be like, oh, you want this little Drake? 00;55;54;08 - 00;55;57;21 Speaker 3 Yeah. I thought she was going to do that for a second, too. Yeah. 00;55;58;07 - 00;55;59;07 Speaker 1 So anyway. 00;56;00;08 - 00;56;01;08 Speaker 3 When I was growing up, I. 00;56;01;12 - 00;56;08;05 Speaker 2 Always in our hair dress code down there, I thought, no, I thought love was the one that walked like a woman and talk like a man. I thought that was Lola. 00;56;08;06 - 00;56;14;16 Speaker 3 So no, she is not sorry. Not petals in her hair, yellow ribbons in her hair. So I think we're going to. 00;56;16;07 - 00;56;16;28 Speaker 1 Get down to the. 00;56;16;28 - 00;56;17;19 Speaker 3 Down to there. 00;56;17;20 - 00;56;21;25 Speaker 2 We're getting two completely different. Lola's here. I'm Gwen. Eric Clapton's Lola. 00;56;21;25 - 00;56;31;16 Speaker 3 I don't know. I don't know what you're doing. Layla. That's not Lola. That's Layla. Is Layla the we the shark on this show? You guys. 00;56;31;22 - 00;56;33;13 Speaker 1 I don't even know what I will. 00;56;33;14 - 00;56;35;28 Speaker 3 Hold on. No, it's Layla. You go. 00;56;35;28 - 00;56;41;18 Speaker 2 Clapton's is Layla, but the song is Lola. Hold on, Micah, you go. 00;56;42;00 - 00;56;50;08 Speaker 1 We have now gone off on a tangent. Obviously, you all just witnessed confused Kate in her prime because I'm thinking how happy I was. 00;56;50;09 - 00;56;52;08 Speaker 3 Lola from the kingdom. Well, it's Lola. 00;56;52;08 - 00;56;53;17 Speaker 2 From the kinks. Go look it up. 00;56;53;28 - 00;56;57;23 Speaker 3 OK? I believe you, but I would. But I mean, you said Eric Clapton. I was like, that's not Lola. 00;56;58;00 - 00;56;58;28 Speaker 2 It's The Kinks. 00;56;59;07 - 00;57;00;28 Speaker 3 OK, well, I. 00;57;01;16 - 00;57;11;24 Speaker 4 I had a lot of hope for Obi Wan, and I have lost interest and I will watch the next episode because I really was. 00;57;12;05 - 00;57;16;17 Speaker 3 So you're saying you need a new hope? Maybe. Yeah, no hope. 00;57;16;24 - 00;57;23;04 Speaker 2 We need any hope. This one? I don't think so. Obi-Wan Kenobi was her only hope. Because if this is what Obi-Wan Kenobi was. 00;57;23;21 - 00;57;24;20 Speaker 3 There was no hope. 00;57;25;13 - 00;57;49;07 Speaker 4 Yeah, I found this show so slow, so boring there. There aren't any characters that I'm connecting with. I. I feel like if you're not a fan person, this one's not going to grab you and pulling in. And the acting has. I have been so unimpressed. There are good child actors out there. Why get one who can't act and she can't. 00;57;49;15 - 00;57;50;29 Speaker 2 And who was two years too young. 00;57;51;08 - 00;58;09;10 Speaker 4 Right? And you can see that with her hands. Anybody who's a parent, you look at her hands and like this isn't a ten year old. Their hands are not a ten year old's hands. It's her emotions aren't right. It's I got to say, this is probably my least favorite of any Star Wars shows. I just I've been so worse. 00;58;09;10 - 00;58;10;03 Speaker 2 And both with that. 00;58;12;08 - 00;58;15;13 Speaker 4 I at least had more interest in where they were going. 00;58;15;13 - 00;58;17;09 Speaker 2 Like once Mandalorian showed up. 00;58;17;25 - 00;58;20;05 Speaker 4 Oh, yeah. Once the Mandalorian showed up. Pentagon interesting. 00;58;21;19 - 00;58;23;16 Speaker 3 Know, were in season 2.5. Right. 00;58;23;17 - 00;58;27;17 Speaker 4 Well, if the Mandalorian showed up in this, then it'd be like, oh, this show would be interesting. 00;58;29;29 - 00;58;36;10 Speaker 4 But Derek, you and I have talked about where's the drama? We know all these people are going to live except, you know, they can kill off a droid. 00;58;37;17 - 00;58;38;22 Speaker 2 Or that one officer. 00;58;38;26 - 00;58;55;16 Speaker 4 The officer. Yeah. Other than that, there's not much tension with it. I felt like the fight scenes are really disappointing and I don't like seeing Obi Wan is just, Oh, he's an old loser. Well, that's boring to watch, and that's been done better and other things. 00;58;55;23 - 00;59;11;05 Speaker 2 And to me, why did they make such a point of the water getting ready to bust through that door that after you drowned all the stormtroopers, the water, the door starts to give way in the waters, get ready to bust out but then it never does. So that was a that was a wasted shot, in my opinion. 00;59;11;13 - 00;59;31;29 Speaker 3 Yeah. All right. Well, I'm going to disagree mostly with Mike and Derek. I'm going to agree with my girl Kate, with one exception. I'm going to agree with Mike on the on the actress who's playing Leia. I think she's real cute and I kind of liked I liked her in the when they first introduced her. But she's too young. 00;59;32;17 - 00;59;50;05 Speaker 3 I have an eight year old who looks way older than she does. And and so, you know, playing a ten year old, she's she's just too she looks about six. I know. I think she is eight. She was it was eight when they filmed it. Right. But she actually looks younger. She looks to me like she's about six years old. 00;59;50;05 - 01;00;11;14 Speaker 3 So she could have played younger. Not like she's not doing great playing older. And I know why they do it. They've done it because if they're going to use her later down the road, they want her to still look pretty young right now. At least I'm assuming that. But but so I don't think she was a she was a great casting, although I don't I don't maybe dislike her as much as gut does. 01;00;12;14 - 01;00;34;22 Speaker 3 But I been liking this series. I yes, it's predictable 100%. I like I said, I called the whole Lola thing very as soon as they said there was a tracker, I knew what was going on. But I like I like Reeva, I like Tala. I like Obi Wan. Sorry, you guys. I like him as a character and I like Ewan McGregor playing him. 01;00;34;22 - 01;00;56;23 Speaker 3 I think he's doing a good job I have liked the fight scenes. They're not real big. They're not real long except for the one between Obi Wan and and Darth Vader, which was kind of long in the know in the last episode. And nothing actually ever happens except for Obi Wan getting burned. But, yeah, I enjoying this now. 01;00;56;24 - 01;01;22;20 Speaker 3 Is it as good as Mandalorian season one? No, it's not. Is it way better than Boba Fett, though? Yes. 100%. Sorry. Even when they brought Mandalorian back onto Boba Fett, I think this is better, because that would just basically they were just taking over and you know, we didn't see Boba Fett for like an entire two episodes. So, yeah, I mean, I'm enjoying this. 01;01;23;29 - 01;01;32;28 Speaker 3 I am yeah. I'm actually. So Steve, I'm disagreeing with you. Your comment that she looks h looks like a third grader. My grade only. 01;01;32;28 - 01;01;33;13 Speaker 2 Nine. 01;01;33;27 - 01;01;52;11 Speaker 3 Right? Third graders skew more towards yeah. Some younger ones are eight or they start this year as eight and then often our nine. But my kiddo is eight and is a second grader. He's about to finish second grade and she looks younger than my kid. Right like by like two years. She looks younger than me. I get it. 01;01;52;11 - 01;02;12;01 Speaker 3 My kid looks his age. He doesn't look ten he doesn't look six, he looks eight. So anyway, but like I said, all in all, I'm enjoying it. But is it the best thing I've ever seen? No, I actually thought the first two episodes were awesome. I think it's gone a little bit down hill in episodes three and four. 01;02;12;10 - 01;02;17;28 Speaker 3 I'm hoping we see a pick up again in episodes five and six. Kind of like how we did in Boba Fett. 01;02;19;16 - 01;02;26;11 Speaker 2 Yeah. Although I will say episode form Boba Fett was where it turned around because that's when the Mandalorian came in. So yeah. 01;02;26;11 - 01;02;39;00 Speaker 3 But they just put a they just put a big old Band-Aid on it instead of actually making a good show is they like, it was like, Oh no, look over here, right? Don't pay any attention to the man behind the curtain, right? Like it was complete distraction. 01;02;39;09 - 01;02;52;13 Speaker 2 Was anyone else confused with the stormtroopers coming in whether Obi Wan was trying to keep the glass from breaking or trying to break the glass? Initially. 01;02;52;27 - 01;02;56;04 Speaker 3 Yeah, I thought he was trying to keep it from breaking, but I was. 01;02;56;16 - 01;03;19;25 Speaker 2 Yeah, but I thought he was trying to admit there was a part there at the beginning where it looked like he could have been trying to break the glass to kill the stormtroopers. So I don't know. It's Pete says worse than Boba Fett. Mandalorian to save the show. Definitely. Ewan McGregor is acting is the saving grace of this show and keeps me interested enough to a point. 01;03;20;12 - 01;03;35;08 Speaker 2 I don't like how with the whole his struggles are to struggle, if that makes sense. He's trying too hard to show that he's struggling with the using the force. Again, it's it's some of the facial expressions are just too much for me. 01;03;35;25 - 01;03;46;14 Speaker 3 I want him to be using the force more, though. I do. I will say that like, there's a few times where I'm like, Can't you just Jedi mind them, right? So that you can escape detection a few if you're. 01;03;46;14 - 01;03;51;26 Speaker 2 Really going to tell me in the last ten years, he's it seems like in the last ten years he's acting like he's never used the force. 01;03;52;04 - 01;03;55;27 Speaker 3 Yeah. How are you telling me? How can he talk to Cogan Jin if he hasn't. 01;03;55;27 - 01;03;56;12 Speaker 2 Exactly. 01;03;56;25 - 01;03;58;15 Speaker 3 Quite how to score enough and he's going. 01;03;58;15 - 01;04;02;11 Speaker 2 To show up. I still can't quite understand. At least the voice will show up. 01;04;02;23 - 01;04;13;04 Speaker 3 Yeah, I agree. I think if you can commune with you with your dead master, you're still practicing it to some degree. So why can't you Jedi mind trick anything? 01;04;13;20 - 01;04;17;09 Speaker 2 And why can't you move a little, little stone thing across the table? 01;04;17;12 - 01;04;17;28 Speaker 3 OK, the. 01;04;17;28 - 01;04;23;29 Speaker 1 Question is oh, dang it. What's his name? The voice of Darth Vader. 01;04;24;27 - 01;04;25;22 Speaker 2 James Earl Jones? 01;04;26;01 - 01;04;28;04 Speaker 1 Yeah. Is he voicing Vader? 01;04;28;04 - 01;04;33;28 Speaker 2 Yes. Yes, voicing it with computer assistance. So, yes, he doesn't sound like he used to. 01;04;34;07 - 01;04;36;00 Speaker 3 But he gets close like this. 01;04;36;00 - 01;04;37;07 Speaker 1 Doesn't sound right. 01;04;37;17 - 01;04;40;03 Speaker 2 No, it's him with a little computer assistance. 01;04;40;08 - 01;04;40;20 Speaker 3 Got it. 01;04;40;20 - 01;04;41;16 Speaker 2 Or a lot of computer. 01;04;41;16 - 01;05;01;12 Speaker 3 Assistance, which is the other big question. Elephant in the room question. Why the heck is Hayden Christianson even being listed like listed as being on the show? Because he's not, you see, like him. He's not in the make up kind of in the in the in the back, not in the tank. Yeah. Like, I mean, he's not you can't you don't hear his voice. 01;05;01;12 - 01;05;05;24 Speaker 3 He's not in the suit. He's not on the show. Why is he getting any credit for this show? 01;05;06;08 - 01;05;13;00 Speaker 2 Because he's they needed to bring his name in for the show is why I think. 01;05;13;02 - 01;05;22;28 Speaker 3 Yeah. And anyone who's actually watching knows he's not really on the show, and that's fine. There's nothing wrong with him not being on the show. I don't need him on the show. I've got, I've got we've got the voice later. 01;05;23;01 - 01;05;26;19 Speaker 2 He's not on the show as he has been in this show a little bit. 01;05;28;02 - 01;05;34;03 Speaker 3 Right. But we've got James Earl Jones and Ewan McGregor. That's enough analysts. We don't need any more than that. 01;05;34;08 - 01;05;37;14 Speaker 2 Wouldn't Hayden Christiansen his A-list? Since when? 01;05;38;03 - 01;05;42;11 Speaker 3 Well, since Star Wars, since Episodes two and three came out. 01;05;42;18 - 01;05;56;09 Speaker 4 I think you and I are old. We we didn't get hooked with the prequels. The students that I work with, they got hooked with the prequels and they love the prequels. And he is Darth Vader to them. And they would say, Awesome, James or Joan. Who's that? 01;05;56;09 - 01;06;02;23 Speaker 3 Yeah, who's that? You know, that's a weird part, Mike, because to me, James Earl Jones is Darth Vader. Right? Right. Oh. 01;06;03;03 - 01;06;14;02 Speaker 2 Wait. He's in that one scene on the mining planet. He's still far away. We don't even really know that that was him. Yeah, I mean, obviously it was. But just that that's especially if you're watching on your phone, you really don't know if that was him or not. 01;06;14;10 - 01;06;20;16 Speaker 3 He's not on this show. I care what anybody says. He's not in the show. What a waste. 01;06;20;16 - 01;06;24;18 Speaker 2 He's not in the show enough to give X give at least cut it to OK. 01;06;24;18 - 01;06;28;08 Speaker 3 I mean, he's been burned to a crisp. I don't expect him to really show. 01;06;28;10 - 01;06;29;19 Speaker 2 I mean, you know. 01;06;30;02 - 01;06;31;00 Speaker 3 I don't need him. 01;06;31;02 - 01;06;46;08 Speaker 2 So we have two episodes of Obi-Wan coming. We still have five episodes of Miss Marvel coming. But next week, we're actually going to go back into the vault again and see something that I have never even watched. A little bit of guys. I've never seen Big Hero six. 01;06;46;23 - 01;06;47;29 Speaker 3 What at all? 01;06;48;05 - 01;06;55;07 Speaker 2 At all. I've never started it. I know who Baymax is from the other different stuff we've seen, and. 01;06;55;08 - 01;06;56;04 Speaker 3 I am not a fan. 01;06;56;08 - 01;07;17;22 Speaker 2 Of I have never seen Big Hero Sex. So this is going to be a new experience for me. Part of the reason we're doing this is a couple of weeks later, there's going to be the Baymax series that comes out. So which is pink. I'm getting the impression that's going to be a lot like Dog Days or Uzo Shorts showing him as the medical helping device. 01;07;18;06 - 01;07;23;02 Speaker 3 So you don't you definitely don't know who this guy is and because he's not even from the mask. 01;07;23;13 - 01;07;27;17 Speaker 2 No, I thought that was from the like life secret life of pets or something. I have. 01;07;27;17 - 01;07;43;20 Speaker 3 No, no, no, no. This is this is Moshi and he is the cat who is in the Baymax TV series. So he this is like you got to like deep dove into Baymax if you want to know who Mochi is. 01;07;44;05 - 01;07;46;14 Speaker 2 Yeah, no clue. Not a clue. 01;07;46;17 - 01;07;49;18 Speaker 3 He's a he's an important character in that show. Let's just say that. 01;07;50;04 - 01;08;03;08 Speaker 2 Sure. Ryan is very excited about the show since it's one of its favorites I still want to see him. How would I rate my pain? I guess I'm guessing that's another big hero sex reference type thing. 01;08;03;08 - 01;08;04;11 Speaker 3 Yes. Yes. 01;08;04;12 - 01;08;10;02 Speaker 2 If if it's the pain that I'm experiencing with Obi Wan, it's about a seven and a half. No, no. 01;08;10;16 - 01;08;11;26 Speaker 3 Are you satisfied with your care? 01;08;12;15 - 01;08;20;13 Speaker 1 Let's wait until game experts to deflate that is the funniest part of the entire movie. 01;08;20;15 - 01;08;23;19 Speaker 3 Yes, it's a very sure anywhere. Not at all. 01;08;24;05 - 01;08;46;06 Speaker 2 I mean, you guys said this can be one of those first things where I have literally never seen any of it. So we will see how this goes. And then in two weeks, we have got a real treat coming up. We have Warren Prowler, who was Ewan McGregor stand in on the Obi-Wan series, and he's been Sam People number three, and he's been in lots of other Star Wars series. 01;08;46;16 - 01;09;03;06 Speaker 2 He's going to be coming on in two weeks. Talk to us about his experiences on set, his different interactions with the different characters and talking about the at least season one finale of Obi Wan. So that's coming up in two weeks. But next week we have got Big Heroes six. 01;09;03;20 - 01;09;10;24 Speaker 3 Are we going to also be talking about Miz Marvel Episode two and one Episode five shorter segments. We will be. 01;09;10;24 - 01;09;29;27 Speaker 2 Hitting those very, very briefly most unless there's something huge that happens, those will probably be about those will be very short segments next week. It will be very different. So. All right. OK, Pete says it's Marvel Derek is Baymax is Marvel. Think you six is Marvel, isn't it? 01;09;30;07 - 01;09;31;11 Speaker 3 No. No. 01;09;31;15 - 01;09;32;05 Speaker 2 You, sir. 01;09;32;20 - 01;09;34;17 Speaker 3 Yes, it's not Marvel. 01;09;34;25 - 01;09;35;18 Speaker 4 It's not Marvel. 01;09;36;00 - 01;09;36;21 Speaker 1 Not Marvel. 01;09;37;07 - 01;09;42;07 Speaker 2 OK, I thought for some reason I thought it was actually a Marvel show. 01;09;42;11 - 01;09;42;22 Speaker 3 No. 01;09;43;10 - 01;09;44;00 Speaker 2 Sam, look it up. 01;09;44;00 - 01;09;45;13 Speaker 3 Real quick. I'm going to look it up. 01;09;46;02 - 01;09;49;04 Speaker 4 Well, at least if it is. Wow, it is Marvel. 01;09;49;29 - 01;09;51;05 Speaker 2 Really? Marvel. 100. 01;09;51;05 - 01;09;51;21 Speaker 3 Percent. 01;09;51;27 - 01;09;53;07 Speaker 1 Are you on? Get out of here. 01;09;53;10 - 01;09;53;23 Speaker 3 It's not. 01;09;53;24 - 01;09;54;08 Speaker 2 600. 01;09;54;08 - 01;09;55;02 Speaker 4 True universe. 01;09;55;15 - 01;09;58;15 Speaker 2 So it's not in the MCU. 01;09;58;15 - 01;10;09;21 Speaker 3 But I thought it is. It appears, OK, because six of the superhero team appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics and created by Man of Action. Yeah. Yeah. 01;10;09;26 - 01;10;13;26 Speaker 2 Heroes is Marvel. Because the reason I know that is that remember. 01;10;14;00 - 01;10;19;11 Speaker 3 The Marvel once? Marvel, big hero, six Earth 616. It says. Really? Yeah. 01;10;20;01 - 01;10;23;20 Speaker 2 Which is the same. Am I correct? That's the same Earth that all the MCU takes place on. 01;10;23;25 - 01;10;24;11 Speaker 3 Yes. Yeah. 01;10;25;01 - 01;10;29;02 Speaker 2 Wow. Yet another series that I'm going to have anyway. 01;10;29;13 - 01;10;36;03 Speaker 3 So how did I not realize that was Marvel land thinks no one. Pete and Pete and Ryan and I. 01;10;36;03 - 01;10;38;19 Speaker 2 Knew something Marvel that y'all didn't. 01;10;38;19 - 01;10;42;21 Speaker 3 Know, which is. But it's not MCU, Pete. Pete tells us in the comic. 01;10;42;24 - 01;10;48;06 Speaker 2 It's not you, but it's Marvel. So but guys, that's. 01;10;48;16 - 01;10;51;17 Speaker 3 It doesn't feel like Marvel, Derek. So you might actually like them. 01;10;51;20 - 01;10;56;27 Speaker 2 I yeah, I'm not going to worry about it being Marvel. I'm going to judge it as a completely independent movie. 01;10;56;27 - 01;10;57;08 Speaker 3 Yeah. 01;10;57;11 - 01;11;21;23 Speaker 2 So, guys, if you have suggestions for other things we should watch, please email us that.
