Show Notes

Is Lightyear a worthy movie? Does it go to infinity, or just beyond terrible? Does it feel like a 1995 movie? Does Chris Evans work as Buzz Lightyear? Should this have been released in theatres, or gone straight to Disney+? Are the I Am Groot shorts the best of the short series, or do Dug and Olaf retain their titles? We're hitting Pixar and Marvel this week!

Sam, how's it going? 00;02;04;24 - 00;02;08;04 Sam It's going great to infinity and beyond. 00;02;08;23 - 00;02;12;13 Derrick I don't know how long this movie seemed. 00;02;12;26 - 00;02;30;07 Sam It's great to see you guys. I do have I want to point out, I've got with me this is an an old Earth popcorn bucket. And I know we're not reviewing toy Story, but I felt like I needed to bring this another older popcorn bucket. This is from Japan, even though it's the claw and then, of course, the alien. 00;02;30;07 - 00;02;35;19 Sam So, you know, it's not Toy Story, but I feel like it's Buzz esque, you know? 00;02;36;12 - 00;02;36;28 Derrick Yeah. 00;02;37;11 - 00;02;39;28 Pete I could have used those little green aliens in this movie. 00;02;40;13 - 00;02;48;12 Sam Yeah, they would have been some additional comic relief. I agree. I think they would have been an excellent addition to the movie, but, you know. Yeah. Oh, well. 00;02;49;20 - 00;03;02;18 Derrick So, guys, please, if you have not already, like, subscribe, share. Join us. Make sure you're never missing any of our shows that we've got coming up, because we've got some big ones coming up, especially next week. We got She-Hulk premiere coming up. 00;03;02;24 - 00;03;04;20 Sam Yeah. More Marvel. Woo hoo! 00;03;07;03 - 00;03;09;03 Sam That's what everybody needs. Except Derek. 00;03;11;09 - 00;03;11;22 Sam Mm hmm. 00;03;13;00 - 00;03;17;24 Derrick So, Sam, we do have a little bit of Disney plus news. What we got going on this week? 00;03;17;29 - 00;03;45;07 Sam Yeah. Welcome to the Disney Plus News. All right. There's not too much, but some of this news is not so such good news, at least in my opinion. So Disney's released details about its ad supported Tier that is going to be coming this December. Now, what I mean by that is for the Disney plus subscription. So the ad supported tier will remain at 799 a month, meaning you're going to get ads either during your shows or in between your shows. 00;03;45;16 - 00;04;07;03 Sam But the ad free version is going to rise to 1099 a month. And then the bundle, including ESPN Plus and Hulu, will be going up a dollar from 1399 to 1499. So we're going to pay the same if you're willing to have ads, but you're going to pay $3 more if you want to continue with an ad free version. 00;04;07;04 - 00;04;13;13 Derrick So to me, it's going to be interesting because as of now, I get this free. You still get this free through Verizon. 00;04;13;21 - 00;04;14;03 Sam Mm hmm. 00;04;14;04 - 00;04;20;05 Derrick Right. Oh, it's going to be interesting to see which version Verizon still gives us for free. 00;04;20;17 - 00;04;42;03 Pete Yeah. Yeah. And I have the same thing. I actually I actually signed up my day one subscriber. I have a I have a what do you call it, one subscriber pin from D23. And I paid it was like $4 a month for a three year subscription, which is going to run out come November of this year because it will be three years. 00;04;42;03 - 00;04;56;11 Pete And but I also have the frozen back bundle and I actually signed on to that now. So I'm not even using my my subscription. But yeah, I mean, that bundle has Hulu, I think. 00;04;57;00 - 00;04;58;06 Derrick Hulu, ESPN Plus and. 00;04;58;18 - 00;05;01;20 Pete Hulu. But it's with Hulu with ads. I believe in the bundle. 00;05;01;28 - 00;05;05;27 Derrick And so is the ESPN plus with ads. 00;05;05;28 - 00;05;07;17 Pete I haven't seen it yet. 00;05;07;17 - 00;05;24;06 Sam So and I guess that means our subscription is going to be running out because we signed up real early to through the D23 promotion, just like you did. We didn't I don't think we signed up first day, but we signed up with that same promotion. So it was the $4 a month. But yeah, it must be. Well. 00;05;24;24 - 00;05;38;15 Pete It will run it'll run out November 12th or whatever the date is. But yeah, I don't know if the Verizon one is going to is going to be ad free or not is the question or if they continue it, even though I mean, I guess they could suspend it. 00;05;38;15 - 00;05;53;04 Sam But we don't have we don't use Verizon, so we don't have that bundle. But we do have I don't know, we must have some kind of bundle because we do also get Hulu. But I think we had Hulu before. Yeah, before we had Disney+. So I always if. 00;05;53;13 - 00;05;55;13 Pete If we hear anything more, we'll share it here. 00;05;55;27 - 00;06;03;20 Derrick Yeah, definitely will. No like can we pay the extra buck or two to get the ad free Disney through Verizon? 00;06;03;29 - 00;06;30;22 Sam Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. I don't want to watch ads, so I'll. In other news, this one is, I think, a good news. Don Cheadle provided an update that Armor Wars is still in production. It wasn't announced during Marvel Comic-Con, so there were fears that it was going to be you know, the series was canceled. But thoughts are is that excuse me, thoughts are that will fit into phase six of the MCU and will ago. 00;06;30;29 - 00;06;47;10 Derrick And the idea behind this is that basically all of Tony Stark's worst fears for his Iron Man technology are coming true. So it's not it's not a happy which I'm kind of gathering from. 00;06;47;29 - 00;06;52;29 Sam But then we kind of have that already. And one of the Iron Man movies, I forget which one it was. 00;06;52;29 - 00;06;55;03 Pete No, they were still functioning over him. 00;06;56;06 - 00;07;01;15 Sam Well his were but there was the copy that. Right. The guy who copied and made a well of. 00;07;01;28 - 00;07;04;05 Pete Ultron kind of. Yeah, that's true. 00;07;04;05 - 00;07;04;16 Sam Oh yeah. 00;07;04;16 - 00;07;22;10 Pete It was kind of that. But we also have in between there we have Ironheart, which is kind of the next generation Iron Man, right? That's the Riri Jones, who also is going to be in Black Panther, too. So, yeah, so there's there's a lot coming before it before we get to that. 00;07;22;10 - 00;07;42;21 Sam So yeah, but that's it for the Disney Plus News. It's really, you know, it's a it's a quick update. Not too much going on, not too much release. You know, we may see some more releases coming soon and because D23 is coming up in just a few weeks and so there may be and plus and Disney plus de right so. 00;07;43;06 - 00;07;47;21 Derrick And Disney plus de is the Disney plus D23 today. 00;07;48;03 - 00;08;01;12 Sam Okay. Yeah. So we're going to have I'm sure there's going to be a ton of stuff coming soon. So this is probably going to be quiet for the next couple of weeks. And then big news dropping the you know, the first or second week of September, I guess. Yeah. 00;08;01;13 - 00;08;07;10 Pete I'm assuming we're going to hear a lot of new shows coming in the in the next year, even though. 00;08;07;15 - 00;08;13;11 Sam We're going to be like announcing stuff that's like 2025 because right now they're announcing everything that's 2023 and. 00;08;13;21 - 00;08;19;07 Pete Well, I'm not I'm I'm Marvel. I'm talking about other things in general. I think we'll hear a lot of different of warming. 00;08;19;25 - 00;08;21;15 Sam Star Wars and more Star Wars and more. 00;08;21;15 - 00;08;25;15 Pete Star Wars, more Disney stuff and more serious. 00;08;25;21 - 00;08;26;06 Derrick Stuff on. 00;08;26;06 - 00;08;34;20 Sam Disney. Yeah, there's stuff that's in there, stuff that's not Marvel on Disney. Plus, what are you talking about? We saw that today. Oh, yeah? Yeah, I thought we. 00;08;34;26 - 00;08;36;12 Pete It may not seem like it was. 00;08;36;28 - 00;08;38;27 Sam We launched a marvel movie, didn't we? 00;08;40;08 - 00;08;41;15 Derrick We watched Light Year. 00;08;41;24 - 00;08;42;13 Sam Yeah, right. 00;08;43;08 - 00;09;05;07 Derrick Which did come out earlier this summer. It was released in theaters. Now, before we get into the plot, I do want to address at the opening shot. It's the idea behind this movie is in 1995. This is the movie that Andy saw that was became his favorite movie, which is why he was so excited to get the Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger action figure. 00;09;07;01 - 00;09;11;07 Derrick Pete, I'm going to go to you. Did this movie feel like 1995? 00;09;12;01 - 00;09;37;07 Pete It did not. I in fact, that it I really tried to go into this movie with an open mind and I saw it in theaters. So I saw it maybe a month ago. So give me a lot of time to think about it. And that was one of the things that kind of drove me crazy about the movie was it felt like such a I was just joking earlier, but it kind of almost felt like a marvel movie, like there was a lot of heaviness to it. 00;09;37;07 - 00;09;57;27 Pete The the hero was very angsty and he was, you know, all these things. And it's like, that's not 1995. 1995 is in. And I went back and I was looking, it's like, Well, what were the movies then? It was like Stargate and it was, you know, a year later it was Independence Day. And these these movies are all very much. 00;09;58;01 - 00;10;03;15 Pete Good guy versus bad guy. That's that's what movies were like in the eighties and nineties. There was no but. 00;10;03;15 - 00;10;15;08 Sam We still had, you know, we still had sort of the nerdy guy prevailing and Stargate and being the real hero. So I you know, I have to tell you, I'm going to disagree with you, Pete, but I'm going to let you continue. 00;10;15;25 - 00;10;38;16 Pete So. Well, so I'm just I'm just saying, like all the stuff the Buzz Lightyear went through in this movie to me was not what I was expecting from a from a buzz like your movie. And I also expected it to be maybe a little more cheesy because if we were watching, if this movie had been made in 1995, we would look back on it and there would be some some more cheesiness to it. 00;10;38;16 - 00;10;47;16 Pete And I don't feel like they they caught that feeling to me. So I'll let you I'll let you argue the the pro on it. 00;10;47;29 - 00;11;14;13 Sam Yeah. You know, I think there were a lot of things or a lot of things that made me feel like this was a 1990s film. Now, there were plot lines that would not have happened in the nineties. For example, Alicia's relationship and marriage, right? It probably wouldn't have happened in 1995, but there were. But there were a lot of nods to the nineties, right? 00;11;14;13 - 00;11;40;28 Sam So there was buzz blows into the cartridge of Ivan on that first time. He goes, he's trying to hit hyper forward hyperdrive. Right. And so he's blowing into the what would be like a Nintendo cartridge, right? So that was 9090s, not really 1980s. We're talking like Nintendo, but it's Super Nintendo, N64, right? That was that definitely hit me in the nineties. 00;11;40;28 - 00;12;08;26 Sam The the robot cat socks, the first robot pet toy came out in 19 the 1990s. It was called techno. It was a robot dog and it was the big toy for Christmas. I don't know what year in 19. I think it might have been 1995, but I'm not sure. But that was kind of a big deal. And they, you know, obviously Socks was now a robot cat. 00;12;08;26 - 00;12;31;09 Sam So that was another nod to the nineties. To me, the music felt kind of nineties. If you looked at like the computer screens, they all looked like the old windows from the nineties with the sort of boxy layout and framing. So there were a lot of visual things and auditory things that were very nineties. It gave it a nineties feel. 00;12;31;09 - 00;12;57;10 Sam I agree the plot did not fit within necessarily. You know, what would have, would have, would have been in a normal nineties movie, but it's not, it's being released in 2022. Right. So it's got to be updated for today's, you know, time, too. So I think they did a good job in balancing nods to the nineties without recreating a nineties movie in its entirety. 00;12;57;11 - 00;13;17;16 Sam There were some nods to Star Wars. There were some nods to 2001 Space Odyssey. There were you know, there were a ton of of, you know, little Easter eggs here and there throughout the movie that were clearly nods to movies that would have been that would have been closer in time, but preceded this movie if it had come out in 1985. 00;13;17;20 - 00;13;22;21 Pete And what I will will give them is there were a lot of nods to things that buzz said. 00;13;23;04 - 00;13;24;16 Sam Yes, for sure. 00;13;24;16 - 00;13;43;13 Pete In the Toy Story movies. They didn't they didn't put them in Spanish mode. But as expecting at some point for him to try to get him to speak Spanish, that would have been great. But I do think that part of it was there were a lot you know, a lot of and they weren't necessarily just like the to infinity and beyond stuff. 00;13;43;13 - 00;13;50;13 Pete It was kind of more subtle lines from, you know, that Buzz had said at some point or another. Yeah, so I think. 00;13;50;13 - 00;13;52;26 Sam About the terrain and yeah, yeah, yeah. 00;13;52;26 - 00;13;55;29 Pete So, so that was, that was kind of cool. 00;13;55;29 - 00;13;59;20 Sam But no sign of intelligent life right now. 00;13;59;20 - 00;14;03;25 Pete No, there were a lot of it because my daughter and I, we would go, okay, that's number five. 00;14;04;04 - 00;14;04;12 Sam Yeah. 00;14;05;13 - 00;14;26;01 Pete Each other with whatever with every time they came up with the line. So there was, there was quite a few of those and you know, and I do think they captured Buzz pretty well and even I know I don't know, we're going to be talking about this later, but like not using Tim Allen, to me, that wasn't that big a deal. 00;14;26;01 - 00;14;33;29 Pete I know. Yeah. We're going to talk about a little later so maybe I'll hold off on getting into that. But do we want to do a quick summary of the movie. 00;14;33;29 - 00;14;35;15 Derrick I like on this point, guys. 00;14;35;22 - 00;14;39;00 Sam Sure, sure. 00;14;39;00 - 00;14;42;23 Derrick First, the techno, the dog I did look it up real quick. Came out in 2000. 00;14;43;22 - 00;14;44;28 Sam No, really? 00;14;45;05 - 00;14;45;15 Derrick Yeah. 00;14;45;25 - 00;14;50;01 Sam Wow. Yeah. Okay, guys from foreign. It was the nineties. 00;14;50;01 - 00;14;55;17 Derrick If I was a ten, 12 year old in 1995. This is not the movies that I was watching. 00;14;55;25 - 00;14;58;23 Sam Yeah, that's true. Looking at all that's true. 00;14;59;20 - 00;15;27;27 Derrick For one, it probably would have been considered for the most part, too scary for a kid to go see in the movie theaters because it would have been a PG 13 and parents would have been right on the edge because this would have been a PG 13 movie in 1995, probably, and I know it when you guys mentioned the all the different quotes to me that was trying too hard, that was really trying too hard to get all of the different things he said to play off those references of the original Toy Story. 00;15;28;13 - 00;15;47;13 Derrick That part didn't necessarily work for me, but as far as the 1995 movie, this was not a 1995 movie aimed at kids. This reminded me of 1995. You take away the language and this was alien or predator. It's now it was obviously wasn't that scary. 00;15;47;17 - 00;15;49;24 Sam Yeah. But it was like that kind of adult. 00;15;50;12 - 00;15;51;12 Derrick Serious. 00;15;51;16 - 00;15;52;06 Sam Yes. All right. 00;15;52;13 - 00;15;55;26 Derrick All right. Kids movie in 1995. 00;15;55;26 - 00;16;01;01 Pete Right. And we got a and we got a remember. How old was Andy in that first Toy Story movie? 00;16;01;01 - 00;16;02;09 Derrick You know, I'm worried that he was going. 00;16;02;09 - 00;16;07;27 Pete To say I don't he was 12. I think it was Yelich or something like that. So, yeah, he was he was definitely. 00;16;08;03 - 00;16;15;05 Derrick Like eight just because if he was 18 then ten years later, Toy Story three come up. Ten years later. 00;16;15;05 - 00;16;19;05 Pete Well, it came out more than ten years later, but this was. Yeah, I don't I don't remember. 00;16;19;22 - 00;16;25;15 Derrick But anyway he was not old enough to this would have been way too mature of a movie for him. 00;16;25;28 - 00;16;26;08 Sam Yeah. 00;16;27;20 - 00;16;38;02 Derrick So, Pete, let's go in and go a little bit through the plot. There's the little bit of it that there was. 00;16;38;02 - 00;16;53;20 Pete Yeah. So. Well, no, I think the opposite. I think there was way too much plot. So the Toy Story, I'm just looking this up real quick. The Toy Story script says that Andy is six in the first Toy Story. And how. 00;16;53;20 - 00;16;55;01 Derrick The heck does he see in this movie. 00;16;55;10 - 00;17;06;08 Sam If I have a I have a slight answer to that, but I'm going to hold it until we talk about another question, because I think it fits in nicely with that question. 00;17;06;08 - 00;17;29;22 Pete All right. All right. So I'm going to I'm going to go through this plot pretty quickly. Again, we talk about spoilers on this show. So if you really care about the plot of this this movie and don't want to see it, go watch the movie first and then listen to this. But basically, Buzz Lightyear is a space ranger that's on a deep space voyage where he's asleep. 00;17;30;25 - 00;18;02;26 Pete There's a they the the ship discovers a planet that has life on it. He's the first one that's woken up. They land on the planet. And basically he ends up wrecking wrecking the ship as they're trying to escape from this planet, because there's a bunch of nasty, nasty things on the planet. Beyond that, they end up spending the next third of the movie with him trying to develop a crystal fusion flight simulator. 00;18;02;26 - 00;18;13;19 Pete And they can't get the fuel mixture right. And he ends up taking off, going into space, and he comes back and it's like, what, two or three years later? Like he's like he's basically four years later. 00;18;13;25 - 00;18;26;20 Derrick Basically flight of the navigator for animated it's faster you go closer to the speed of light right and more time more right your time takes compared to everyone else's. 00;18;27;17 - 00;18;49;10 Pete So like so. But he's basically determined to fix his mistake. So he just keeps doing it over and over again. And eventually he ends up basically jumps a couple of years at a time and ends up all his friends are dead and everything like that. And then the last time he finally he gets this little robot cat called Socks. 00;18;49;10 - 00;19;06;14 Pete Somehow the robot calculates the fuel mixture that all the other so so and I shouldn't skip out on this the the base itself all these people on the spaceship have basically made a place for themselves to live and protect themselves from the creatures and the plants that are attacking them. 00;19;06;26 - 00;19;14;28 Derrick Which one can we take a moment and appreciate the humor of socks and the comic relief that Socks plays in this movie? 00;19;15;14 - 00;19;15;23 Sam Yes. 00;19;16;11 - 00;19;25;14 Derrick Yes. Was such it reminded me a lot of an intelligent dog in up isn't just what Socks reminded me of. 00;19;25;23 - 00;19;26;03 Sam Yeah. 00;19;26;28 - 00;19;32;24 Pete Yeah, he was. He was definitely much needed humor in a movie. That was pretty serious. 00;19;33;10 - 00;20;04;17 Sam Yeah. I mean, most of the time to your point, Pete, you know his best friend, Alisha, who's actually his commander or, you know, every time he comes back, she's older and older and then eventually she's got, you know, she's married and then she's has a child and then she has a grandchild and then she's got white hair and, you know, and then she and then the last time, you know, she's passed away and she leaves this heartfelt message for him, which, by the way, spoiler. 00;20;04;17 - 00;20;07;23 Sam You will cry if you don't cry. You have no soul at that. 00;20;07;23 - 00;20;08;27 Pete I have no soul. 00;20;08;27 - 00;20;11;17 Sam Really. Oh, you got it. 00;20;12;08 - 00;20;21;02 Pete It was a touching moment, but. But like, again, I was like, oh, no wonder Andy loved this movie. Everybody loves best friends dying and, you know. 00;20;22;07 - 00;20;25;19 Sam Best friends. But anyway, it was a beautiful it was. 00;20;25;19 - 00;21;02;18 Pete A nice moment. It was a very nice moment in the movie. But yeah. And then so the last time he, he, he gets his robot cat to also solve all of the problems again that somehow all the other computers in the station can't solve. And he steals the ship at that point to do one last flight ends up going 60 years in the future at that point, I believe, or it's a larger jump into the future and comes back and has solved the problem, but now they're being attacked. 00;21;03;01 - 00;21;24;11 Pete He finds that the base is being attacked by us, by a spaceship. And here's where we probably about halfway into the movie come across Zuckerberg. And these are bots that are attacking the ship. But he doesn't actually go back to the base. He ends up crashing out at some outer base and he ends up teaming up with some misfits. 00;21;24;17 - 00;21;40;23 Pete Yeah, misfits is a good way to put it right there are some recruits that aren't great. We get Taika Waititi as one of the misfits and he's awesome. And actually, actually the misfits are pretty entertaining. One of them is Alisha's granddaughter, I believe. 00;21;40;23 - 00;21;43;01 Sam Yep. Izzy is the granddaughter of Alisha. 00;21;43;04 - 00;22;06;12 Pete Yeah. And so, you know, now Buzz is all torn about should he use these people that aren't really trained as soldiers and should he go on on his own? And then there's more Avengers fighting the IRC bots and things like that. Eventually he ends up going up onto the ship to try to defeat it. And here's the big spoiler. 00;22;07;09 - 00;22;16;03 Pete You know, we all think that Zuckerberg is his father or maybe is his father from Toy Story two. No. Turns out what you want to say. 00;22;16;20 - 00;22;23;19 Derrick And I was going to say that pulls us into this point is, you know, the continuity with Toy Story two is an issue. 00;22;24;02 - 00;22;50;19 Pete So so I will say in Toy Story two, the main reason they did that was for a star Wars joke. Right. Of course, that you know, Luke, you're my father. Yeah. But in but in the end, the rest of that movie was, oh, yeah, he's my father. Let me play ball with them and everything like that. Well, in this movie, The Twist is that his father is another Buzz Lightyear from further in the future. 00;22;51;18 - 00;23;13;02 Sam And this is where the movie jumps the shark. Because when you play with time. Yeah, no, this is to me this is where the movie jumps the shark. Because when you start messing with time, nothing makes sense anymore. I mean, literally every movie that has ever, you know, messed with time, there is something that doesn't make sense. Okay. 00;23;13;08 - 00;23;15;26 Sam Is one of them Endgame? 00;23;15;29 - 00;23;20;19 Derrick So you're saying Endgame jumped the shark with the time travel? 00;23;20;19 - 00;23;21;07 Sam Oh, he didn't. 00;23;21;22 - 00;23;25;21 Derrick He didn't. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. 00;23;25;28 - 00;23;32;24 Pete I'm okay. I am I'm I'm with I'm with Sam. I hate trip. There's two good time travel movies that I'll accept. 00;23;33;14 - 00;23;34;16 Derrick Back to the future. 00;23;35;03 - 00;23;36;27 Sam Yes. So Back to the future. 00;23;37;02 - 00;23;42;09 Pete I give I'll give back to future one and even back you're right back to the future to forget it now. 00;23;42;09 - 00;23;42;14 Sam Yeah. 00;23;42;20 - 00;23;48;17 Pete And Prisoner of Azkaban, the third Harry Potter movie, those are the only two movies that have. Except. 00;23;48;17 - 00;23;57;23 Sam No, but I'm trying. But the problem with Prisoner of Azkaban is they should extend the time turner more and gone back and killed Tom Riddle okay the end. 00;23;57;23 - 00;24;09;14 Pete Yeah but then you get then you get the half blood prince, which is awful. So. But anyway, it's not the Half-Blood. I'm sorry, the cursed child, but let's. We're not going into Harry. We're not a Harry Potter podcast. 00;24;09;14 - 00;24;17;14 Sam So apparently we could be. We could not. Yeah. No. 00;24;17;14 - 00;24;35;27 Pete Anyways, so I will agree there's some parts of Ed in game with the time travel that I don't care for. Yeah. Because I'm not because what Sam said, like time travel is almost impossible to do. Well, and actually, truthfully, Back to the Future doesn't do it very well either. But it's so entertaining. 00;24;35;27 - 00;24;37;12 Sam Just a fun movie. Yeah, on. 00;24;37;12 - 00;24;37;24 Derrick Movie. 00;24;38;03 - 00;24;38;14 Sam Yeah. 00;24;38;21 - 00;24;47;07 Pete But so anyways, this in particular, it's, I don't know, it's just like it seemed really stupid at this point. It's like. 00;24;47;07 - 00;24;47;16 Derrick Huh. 00;24;47;28 - 00;24;52;15 Sam You know, Buzz has to defeat his himself, basically the older version of himself. 00;24;52;15 - 00;25;15;26 Pete And the other problem was to me, like, Zerg is this huge arch enemy. And they built video games with Zuckerberg and there were comic books with Zuckerberg and all these other things. And we get this Zuckerberg that's introduced, you know, has that halfway through the movie and is defeated by the end of the movie. And it's like, this is not the Zuckerberg that was in. 00;25;15;26 - 00;25;16;16 Sam And he's Toy. 00;25;16;16 - 00;25;16;25 Pete Story. 00;25;16;28 - 00;25;28;24 Sam And he's also not totally evil. Right. Like he's you know, he's he's a misguided buzz. You know. So sorry, Derek. Derek's dying. 00;25;29;13 - 00;25;38;15 Derrick Except for the fact that if you watch the end, end, end credits scene, Zuckerberg wakes up in his back and is coming out for vengeance. The. 00;25;38;15 - 00;25;41;27 Sam Oh, you know, I am I did not see that. And the credits. 00;25;41;27 - 00;25;44;28 Derrick And and end credits scene there's three in the credits scenes. 00;25;45;15 - 00;25;46;06 Sam And this them. 00;25;46;14 - 00;25;48;12 Derrick Tell me this is an a really a marvel movie. 00;25;48;13 - 00;25;54;27 Sam Yeah tell me a marvel movie without telling me or a marvel movie surrogate wake up. 00;25;56;03 - 00;26;00;22 Derrick Wakes up in the very last day and credits scene so that they keep Zeus around. 00;26;00;29 - 00;26;27;15 Sam Gotcha. But anyway, Zeus does not seem as evil as he, like, should be in. If you think about him as, like, the video game arch nemesis. Right. I think that's Pete's point, because he's because he is buzz. Right. And so, yes, he's like this misguided version of Buzz. Right. So he is evil, but it's, you know, anyway, he's not 100% evil, perhaps. 00;26;29;04 - 00;26;52;11 Sam Yeah. That to me, that's where the that's where the plot really lost me. I understand that, Derek, you got lost earlier. Lost? Not lost. Not lost is confused. I mean, the movie lost your your, you know, stamp of approval. Yeah. Or your buy it and so so in the end, really. 00;26;52;20 - 00;27;13;07 Pete In the end, they defeat Zuckerberg. You go back to the compound, they decide not to try to go home and just stay on this planet and and buzz forms the star command troops or whatever. He's the leader of the Star Command troops, which makes sense since he's like 180 years old. 00;27;13;20 - 00;27;25;04 Sam And I mean, and he chooses the misfits as his recruit is, as his team, instead of choosing whoever he wants from the from the true, the normal military or whatever. 00;27;25;04 - 00;27;30;23 Pete So yeah. And it ends and it ends. 00;27;30;23 - 00;27;31;02 Sam Yeah. 00;27;32;02 - 00;27;34;28 Pete I thought I stayed for the end credits but. 00;27;34;28 - 00;27;39;29 Sam I definitely didn't see the three. Yeah I yeah. 00;27;39;29 - 00;27;42;05 Pete Maybe I didn't stay for the third one. I don't remember that. 00;27;42;05 - 00;27;47;12 Derrick The third one was after the castle shot. 00;27;47;24 - 00;27;50;13 Pete Oh, maybe that's maybe why I missed it. Okay. Yeah. 00;27;50;25 - 00;28;02;03 Derrick Okay. So we have kind of glanced on this topic. Does Chris Evans work as Buzz Lightyear instead of Tim Allen? 00;28;03;06 - 00;28;27;02 Sam Yes. Yes. The answer to that question is a resounding yes. He he definitely you know, he has a different voice, but he has a very commanding firm voice, kind of similar to the style of Tim Allen, the speech pattern I think he uses in the movies, also kind of similar to to Tim Allen. But there are certainly differences. 00;28;27;12 - 00;28;53;11 Sam But I did hear I was reading something just earlier today that the director from this film was interviewed to talk about why there and talked about why there was different voice for buzz then Tim Allen. And the answer was so Lightyear was a live action film in 1995. So this cartoon was actually, you know, a live action film. 00;28;54;25 - 00;29;02;17 Sam And then there was a cartoon TV series of light year that was on TV following this movie. 00;29;02;28 - 00;29;03;23 Derrick That come out. 00;29;04;00 - 00;29;23;14 Sam This I'm telling you, this is what this is what this is what the director gave us explanation. And so that person who played buzz would have been different from the film version to the TV series because that's what happens all the time in the nineties. One actor would do the movie, then a different actor would get recast for the TV series. 00;29;23;21 - 00;30;02;09 Sam So I take that to mean Chris Evans would have been the live action character in the movie, and then Tim Allen did the voice of the cartoon TV series. And so the toy was actually from the cartoon TV series, and that's why I would have had Tim Allen's voice. What this what it helps make a little bit of sense and I say little bit of sense because they shouldn't have said this was that movie or they should said this was the movie that the TV series was based on that Andy watched because I'm going to say if I'm reading into what the comments of the director, to me this means that Andy was probably watching 00;30;02;09 - 00;30;24;00 Sam that cartoon TV series that was based on the movie. And the reason I say that is for exactly the reasons you said earlier, Derek, this was not a kid's movie. So a six year old would not have been watching this movie in 1995. This would have been a movie that maybe teenagers would go see and young adults would go see and maybe middle aged adults would go see. 00;30;24;00 - 00;30;41;18 Sam But this was not a kid's movie. So but we've seen other, you know, live action movies then have cartoon TV series versions and those cartoon TV series versions being targeted at kids. Like I said, the problem with that is the beginning of the very beginning. 00;30;41;29 - 00;30;43;06 Pete I keep interrupting, but go. 00;30;43;06 - 00;30;51;24 Sam Derek Yeah, the very beginning of this movie saying this was that movie that I think that was that conflicts with what the director said. 00;30;52;08 - 00;31;02;15 Derrick And to me, this was Captain America doing a Buzz Lightyear impersonation. Oh, I can hear that is all I could hear. His voice. It's him doing Captain America. 00;31;03;09 - 00;31;03;25 Sam With Captain. 00;31;03;25 - 00;31;06;17 Derrick America. It was Chris Evans as Captain America doing it. 00;31;06;17 - 00;31;20;08 Sam Is it I mean, it is that commanding voice, right? That's how Chris Evans has one version of a commanding voice, but he does have a lot of other voices. If you've ever seen some of his other films where he's not, you know, a serious Captain America. 00;31;20;13 - 00;31;22;25 Derrick Right. But this was the same type of character. 00;31;22;25 - 00;31;25;16 Sam Yeah, it was. It is the same type of character. Oh, absolutely. 00;31;25;16 - 00;31;35;08 Derrick And to me, I'm sorry if there's any Tim out. If Tim Allen said no, fine. If Tim Allen was never asked. Shame on Pixar. 00;31;35;22 - 00;31;41;14 Sam Guys. They could have asked because it was an animated. If it had been a live action, I understand why they would have been here. 00;31;41;26 - 00;32;04;11 Derrick But because, trust me, there's a live action with him coming up that no one is really thrilled about. Santa Clauses if they never even asked him which from the sounds of things they never did to take away that commanding, that is. But you shut your eyes and I don't care if you listen if you listen to home improvement. 00;32;04;11 - 00;32;07;17 Derrick I'm sorry. In my age that's Buzz Lightyear is on home improvement. 00;32;07;24 - 00;32;34;17 Sam Yeah. So and he is hilarious. And so it could have brought light later. Yeah, exactly. It could have brought more humor to like. So I think Captain America is the straight man like in all of the you know, he's not in all The Avengers movies. He is not the comedic relief, like other people make jokes at him, but he's never the one making cracking the jokes versus in Toy Story, Tim Allen and Buzz Lightyear. 00;32;35;11 - 00;32;41;28 Sam He's not I don't know that he's cracking jokes, but the things he says are hilarious because they're so silly. 00;32;42;06 - 00;32;46;16 Derrick Okay. If Chris Evans is going to do this, he didn't take it far enough. 00;32;47;07 - 00;32;52;03 Sam Fair. I love Chris Evans and he can do no wrong in my book, but that's a fair criticism. 00;32;52;03 - 00;33;04;00 Derrick But he could have take if he's going to do Buzz Lightyear. You got to go full Buzz Lightyear. You got to go. I'm Buzz Lightyear. Not I'm Buzz Lightyear. He didn't go over the top. No. 00;33;04;00 - 00;33;09;29 Pete Well, but he was also playing it as he was playing it as a live action character. 00;33;09;29 - 00;33;11;06 Sam Versus a toy. 00;33;11;23 - 00;33;34;26 Pete So I don't know. I didn't really have a problem with Chris Evans as Buzz because there were so many other things that I had bigger problems with. But it's there that it really didn't I didn't find myself thinking, Oh, I'm listening to Captain America, that that didn't bother me. Okay, so now I'm with Sam. 00;33;35;07 - 00;33;53;17 Derrick Okay? Now, this was Pixar's June 20, 22 theatrical release. Pete, could this have been released in theaters or should it have gone the way of turning red and gone directly to Disney Plus? Or should it have changed traded places with turning red? 00;33;54;11 - 00;34;32;20 Pete Well, this is the issue I had is that Luca and Turning Red were both infinitely yes. I use that on purpose. Superior movies to this movie and those movies definitely deserve theatrical releases. However, I cannot disagree that you're marketing this as a Buzz Lightyear that it did deserve to be in theaters again. I think there was a movie to be made that would have been a lot of fun and fun and funny that could have been made on this concept. 00;34;32;28 - 00;34;52;12 Pete I just don't think they meaning so. So I will you know, I will say the for the concept, I think it should have gone to theaters. I think, you know, and I think the movie didn't do particularly well because it wasn't very good. You know, it wasn't it wasn't it didn't it. 00;34;52;12 - 00;34;55;16 Sam Wasn't Toy Story caliber. It, you know well, it. 00;34;55;16 - 00;34;59;09 Pete Didn't even have to be Toy Story caliber, but it had to be for it had to be for kids. 00;34;59;23 - 00;35;03;05 Sam It had to be like Toy Story, like three caliber. 00;35;03;20 - 00;35;19;26 Pete Right? Yeah. No, it had to be something that's fun for kids. And to me, I mean, Derek said it. It's this is like a movie. And you said it too. I think this is a movie to me that if anything is going to appeal to would be teenagers, but it's animated, so it wouldn't appeal to teenagers. So who it appealing to? 00;35;20;09 - 00;35;46;13 Sam Yeah, honestly, I wonder. I feel like they should have done this as a live action film. Like, actually, like filmed it live action. I, I think it would have it might have been better and then it could have been this serious. And I don't know that we would have been as critical about it, but because it's like built as the, you know, sort of the prequel to Toy Story and it's about Buzz light year and it's animated. 00;35;46;13 - 00;36;08;13 Sam I feel like we were all missing. You know, that humor. I have to agree with you, though. I feel like conceptually this the kind of movie that Disney would want to send to theaters first. But I also feel like turning red especially should have gone to theaters first. And I think Turning Red was a better film than this one. 00;36;08;13 - 00;36;29;14 Sam So I can't fault Disney for putting out in the theaters before sending it to Disney. Plus because they wanted to make money off of it in that way. And so that is you know, I know it didn't do well in theaters, but it still would, you know, still made more money going to theaters first and then to Disney plus than it would make just going straight to Disney plus. 00;36;29;14 - 00;36;38;13 Sam So, you know, I on balance, yes, it should be released in theaters, but not because it was a great movie. Yeah. 00;36;39;00 - 00;36;40;03 Derrick I totally agree. 00;36;40;17 - 00;36;40;26 Sam Yeah. 00;36;41;11 - 00;36;50;06 Derrick So as we always do, watch the feature film Pixie Dust Rating out of five cups of Pixie Dust. Sam, I'm going to start with you on this one. 00;36;50;23 - 00;37;11;07 Sam Okay? I'm going to give it two cups of pixie dust because it's not the worst thing we watched. I don't hate it. If it was on, I might watch part of it again. I probably wouldn't like if it was on TV and I'm flipping through channels and I can't find anything to watch, I might stop on it and watch for a bit, but it isn't something. 00;37;11;07 - 00;37;27;27 Sam I'd go back to Disney plus and go look for and say, Oh, I want to rewatch this. So I always think about what rewatch ability. And that's sort of my line between like a two and a three and I just don't feel like this movie has a ton of rewatch ability. Like I said, not that I wouldn't like. 00;37;27;27 - 00;37;36;21 Sam It was the only thing on TV. I don't know that I would turn it off, but it's not something I would seek out to rewatch. Derek What do you think. 00;37;37;24 - 00;37;51;05 Derrick Guys? I'm at a 1.5. I would turn this off if this the only thing on or I'd go to Disney Plus and find something infinitely better and beyond. 00;37;51;05 - 00;38;11;05 Pete Sam stole my comments right out of my mouth because to to me is I don't feel that I necessarily my time watching it but I would never go back to it. And that's what I feel about this movie is I just I would I would watch all four toy Story movies over again before I before. 00;38;11;05 - 00;38;12;12 Sam Even Toy Story four. 00;38;12;16 - 00;38;14;00 Pete Even Toy Story four, which. 00;38;14;13 - 00;38;15;02 Sam You know what, I probably. 00;38;15;03 - 00;38;17;12 Pete Not a great movie, but it's not a bad movie. 00;38;17;20 - 00;38;23;02 Sam I Have to agree with you, Pete. I'd probably watch Toy Story just the cars changing it before I. 00;38;23;03 - 00;38;23;20 Pete I'd I'd. 00;38;24;18 - 00;38;25;21 Derrick I'd watch cars too before. 00;38;25;21 - 00;38;34;11 Pete I'd watch cars too over this there's there's not many Pixar movies that I would put below this to be quite honest. Probably good dinosaur. I hated good dinosaur. 00;38;34;11 - 00;38;42;12 Sam Oh, I don't hate good dinosaur. That's funny. Yeah. No, I would watch Good Dinosaur before watching this, but I'm not sure about cars too. I actually might watch this over cars too. 00;38;42;22 - 00;38;43;21 Derrick I will say this is different. 00;38;43;22 - 00;38;44;06 Sam Because. 00;38;44;15 - 00;38;53;20 Derrick It's from us. As much as there are some Pixar movies I don't like, this is my lowest rating for any. This is the lowest rating by far. We've given any Pixar movie. 00;38;54;05 - 00;38;55;11 Sam Yeah. So yeah. 00;38;55;11 - 00;38;57;12 Pete Yeah. It wasn't good. 00;38;57;12 - 00;38;57;28 Derrick It was not. 00;38;58;13 - 00;38;58;22 Sam No. 00;38;59;16 - 00;39;01;28 Pete And it's too bad because it really had potential. 00;39;02;09 - 00;39;17;04 Sam Well, and there were some really let me just be fair and say there were some really touching and wonderful moments in this movie. So it's not all bad, but the plot overall and the movie's just not great there. 00;39;17;05 - 00;39;38;04 Pete There were moments in this movie that I enjoyed that there were several moments. And as I said, it's like, watch. I did not. Again, I saw it in the theaters. I did not like want to walk out at any point which which would have gotten into one if I had wanted to walk out. But after watching it, I was like, okay, I don't need to see that again. 00;39;38;19 - 00;39;39;07 Sam Yeah, that's. 00;39;39;07 - 00;39;54;03 Derrick Fair. Now we also watch this week I am Groot. It's series of five. They're approximately three minute animated, but the credits are as long as the shorts on did. 00;39;54;03 - 00;39;55;22 Sam Yes, they are. 00;39;55;22 - 00;40;09;21 Derrick But we did watch I Am Groot and we're going to go with Pete first on this one of the five, which one was your favorite? 00;40;09;21 - 00;40;32;19 Pete I got to go with Groot. Takes a bath was my favorite one. I don't know if that's exactly the name. Yes, it is. Yeah, but I did, I did enjoy that one. It was probably the one I laughed at the most. If I'm seeing short three, four minute shorts, they need to be funny, funny, funny. And some of these were funnier than others. 00;40;33;00 - 00;40;43;13 Pete And that was one of those. That's the one I laughed at the most. I liked the the different hair forms that he formed in that one. So that was my favorite one. 00;40;43;17 - 00;40;44;13 Derrick I'm sorry. 00;40;44;19 - 00;40;44;29 Pete What? 00;40;45;14 - 00;40;50;22 Derrick Gemma's the pink one. I Yeah. 00;40;50;22 - 00;40;52;00 Pete What about. What about you, Sam? 00;40;52;22 - 00;41;21;00 Sam This is so hard because they're so good, so spoiler. I loved them all. I love the one where he ends up doing, like, the salsa dancing. It's like he is like he's trying to find sweet groups pursuit. Thank you. He's trying to find, like, there's some being or something on the ship that he keeps seeing sort of whizzing by him, but he hasn't really seen what it is and ends up being this liquidy blob thing. 00;41;21;00 - 00;41;39;24 Sam And then the liquidy blob thing goes in the shape of a Groot and starts talking, and then they start dancing together and there's kind of like a dance off at one point and then grootes able to get this alien creature like out of the spaceship through the airlock, which is kind of hilarious. And then Groot continues doing salsa dancing in the end. 00;41;39;28 - 00;41;55;08 Sam So it's just like so cute watching themselves lanterns. So that's why I would say that one might be my favorite. But I also loved the one with the little guy, so I'm not going to say anything about it. Yeah. So that one. 00;41;55;14 - 00;42;04;18 Pete So I will say probably my favorite thing in any of the shorts was in the one you're mentioning Sam. And that's that he had the butt flat pajamas. 00;42;04;19 - 00;42;10;00 Sam Yes, the pajamas was so cute. They're a little trees and little mushrooms on them. Oh, my God. Yeah. 00;42;10;10 - 00;42;11;29 Pete So. All right, there he is. 00;42;11;29 - 00;42;14;24 Derrick Sam, I wouldn't say my favorite was the little guy. 00;42;15;05 - 00;42;15;14 Sam Yeah. 00;42;15;22 - 00;42;21;22 Derrick He is. You reminded me so much of an Independence Day. Oh, no. One minute back to the locker. 00;42;22;00 - 00;42;22;09 Sam Yeah. 00;42;23;18 - 00;42;31;03 Derrick Where? But it's this. And they're all said, okay, so they're chuckling stones at him, and all of a sudden they have laser guns. And the way I'm. 00;42;31;03 - 00;42;34;20 Sam Shooting it, it's like Gulliver's Travel and Horton hears a who. 00;42;34;20 - 00;42;47;00 Derrick And with all of those. And it's funny because then at the end you think he's he steps on and kills all of them, except then they do and all end up popping up as they're okay because you know, it's a cartoon. 00;42;47;11 - 00;42;47;29 Sam If it can. 00;42;48;19 - 00;42;49;06 Derrick All be dead. 00;42;49;16 - 00;43;12;10 Sam Yeah. Can I tell you that when we were watching I was watching these with Brian, my husband, as you guys know him, but in KISS audiences. I know. And then my son pops in and sees what we're watching and just like plops down and watches the, you know, the rest of them with us. And he loved loved the little guy he thought that was so funny and he thought it was hilarious when he stepped on them. 00;43;12;10 - 00;43;15;07 Sam Mean we thought they were dead and then they weren't, so. Yeah. Yeah. 00;43;15;07 - 00;43;26;05 Derrick And now I will say to me, the weakest of all of them was the magnum opus one where he he's creating the little collage thingy. 00;43;26;11 - 00;43;27;11 Sam Oh yeah. The art. 00;43;27;17 - 00;43;34;23 Derrick Yeah, that was probably the weakest one. Although they did get Bradley Cooper to come back to do The Voice to Private. 00;43;34;23 - 00;43;35;21 Sam Yeah, right. 00;43;36;05 - 00;43;38;24 Derrick But to me, that was probably the weakest one. 00;43;38;24 - 00;43;40;18 Pete It was the it was the least funny. 00;43;40;25 - 00;43;41;22 Derrick It was the least funny. 00;43;41;22 - 00;43;51;01 Pete Yeah. I thought, I thought it was cute, but yeah. Not, not funny. And honestly, the first one where he greets first steps I think. 00;43;51;09 - 00;43;54;24 Sam Yeah I like that though. That one was not. Yeah it was. 00;43;54;24 - 00;43;59;02 Pete It was fine but it wasn't those, those would be my two lowest. 00;43;59;02 - 00;44;02;10 Derrick Heartwarming, funny, funny, funny, heartwarming. 00;44;02;11 - 00;44;02;18 Pete Yeah. 00;44;03;06 - 00;44;21;08 Derrick Yeah. Now we've watched dog days. We've watched the Baymax series. We have we've watched the Olaf presents and we've watched this all of those four. Is this the best one, Sam? 00;44;21;23 - 00;44;46;14 Sam Oh, you have to start with me. Oh, my goodness. Oh, this is so hard because I love all of these series, but I still have to go with Doug Days. I just. I don't know if it's because I love up or because and specifically, I love Doug and Mr. Fredrickson. And we're never going to get to Mr. Frederickson again because the actor and yeah. 00;44;46;14 - 00;45;04;01 Sam Passed away. So yeah, I still loved it's really close. All of them, frankly, are really close. And I loved all of these even the ones that weren't that as funny. But yeah, I got to go with Doug. These being the best. Derek, what about you? 00;45;05;26 - 00;45;16;20 Derrick Is Doug days? It's Doug Days and then all off. And then this to me, the old him doing the different movies is so funny. 00;45;16;29 - 00;45;17;27 Sam It's really funny. 00;45;17;28 - 00;45;23;14 Derrick But after about the third or fourth one, you kind of get where he's going on it and they get a little repetitive. 00;45;23;25 - 00;45;32;03 Sam Yeah. I wonder what Kate thinks, because I know Kate loves all off ones that at least she before seeing this, I know she loved the older ones. The best. 00;45;32;03 - 00;45;32;23 Derrick But to me. 00;45;33;03 - 00;45;34;00 Pete She is Groot. 00;45;34;17 - 00;45;35;17 Sam She's one. Yeah. 00;45;35;28 - 00;45;45;16 Derrick But to me it's as I watched the old, some of the older ones and some of the Doug days to kind of prepare for this question. It's Doug Day's by a landslide. 00;45;46;01 - 00;45;46;13 Sam Yeah. 00;45;46;23 - 00;46;04;05 Pete Yeah. So my mom was here and we were watching. We were watched as we were watching these. My mom was visiting from Arizona and she didn't know anything about it. She just thought it was weird. But like, we enjoyed this very much. You know, I liked it, but then I was like, Oh, you got to watch the old ones. 00;46;04;05 - 00;46;26;28 Pete And I put the old ones on. And she, she'd seen the first Frozen movie, but she hasn't seen the second one. And we were laughing so hard at the older ones. So is this the best one? Clearly not. I would agree with you guys. I think I like Doug Days the best and probably Olaf is second. And then this is probably a little better than Baymax, I guess I did. 00;46;26;28 - 00;46;47;21 Pete I did enjoy the series as well, but very different because. Baymax was more of a story. I mean, they were they were, you know, eight, eight minute shorts as opposed to these being like just two or three really short shorts. Oh, but yeah, these are I mean, look, it's it's going to take 20 minutes of your time to see all of these. 00;46;47;21 - 00;46;48;15 Pete It's worth it. 00;46;49;11 - 00;46;54;10 Sam Not even like 15 minutes if you don't watch the credits. There's no after credit scene by one. 00;46;54;19 - 00;47;06;11 Derrick One criticism I do have of this is the favorite on the off presents ones where they were also short there was an opportunity to just play them all in a row. There was not on this. 00;47;06;14 - 00;47;30;11 Sam Yes. And and they weren't they weren't in under the same menu either. You had to go to like suggested to figure out how I actually wasn't sure how many there were. And so that was quite confusing. Just the layout, how it was presented on plus was not user friendly. They could have had it as I Am Groot series and then episodes one, two, three, four, five and then perhaps as a61 all of them strong. 00;47;30;11 - 00;47;34;11 Pete They actually did have a menu bar where all five of them were listed. 00;47;35;00 - 00;47;36;16 Sam See. And I didn't scroll. 00;47;36;16 - 00;47;37;12 Pete Down far enough. 00;47;37;12 - 00;47;50;01 Sam Yeah. Okay. Yeah I did. I missed that. But anyway, it made me a little bit confused as to figuring out how many and I don't know that I watched them in the correct order or if there is a correct order because I just watched them. 00;47;50;02 - 00;47;53;10 Derrick I think I don't know if you watched the groups first steps first. 00;47;53;22 - 00;48;03;27 Sam And I didn't because so I watched. Yeah so I didn't I obviously after realize that one came first but I did not I did not watch them in the order. 00;48;03;27 - 00;48;05;09 Pete That was really in order. 00;48;05;09 - 00;48;06;28 Derrick Now, not while other. 00;48;06;28 - 00;48;07;04 Pete Than the. 00;48;07;25 - 00;48;08;18 Derrick Ones that. 00;48;08;18 - 00;48;08;26 Pete Yeah. 00;48;08;29 - 00;48;25;21 Derrick But now it's also interesting this can't be twins. This was actually between Guardians one and Guardians two is when this was designed to have come out. So this is something that Kate, if you're listening, I don't know where you were that puts you in your timeline, but you may have to go back and retcon some of these things. 00;48;26;07 - 00;48;27;26 Sam Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Okay. 00;48;28;11 - 00;48;34;25 Derrick Pete, I want to go with you on this one. We watched the whole series real quick. Pixie dust out of five on the I Am Groot series. 00;48;35;04 - 00;48;38;08 Pete Three and a half. Okay, I'll leave it at that. 00;48;39;10 - 00;48;44;18 Sam All right. Four and a half. Oh, okay. 00;48;44;18 - 00;48;46;26 Derrick I'm going for like that. 00;48;47;15 - 00;48;48;00 Sam So, yeah. 00;48;49;12 - 00;48;50;29 Pete I like the Marvel thing. 00;48;51;10 - 00;48;54;06 Sam Yeah. Once in a row, two Marvel. 00;48;54;06 - 00;48;58;27 Derrick Things in a row. I was probably I was one of the higher rankings on doctor. The new doctor. Strange Movie two. 00;48;58;28 - 00;48;59;19 Sam Yeah, yeah. 00;48;59;19 - 00;49;27;17 Derrick That's all right. Speaking of Marvel and a marvel series that I'm actually very intrigued by is She-Hulk premieres next week. It looks to be very irreverent, very it's very much it being shown up as a comedy, very much as a like breaks the fourth wall, does all that kind of stuff. It's saved by the bell for Marvel. No, anyway, about that. 00;49;27;17 - 00;49;28;22 Derrick But yeah, I don't know about that. 00;49;29;11 - 00;49;32;25 Sam Deadpool like Deadpool where you broke the fourth wall. 00;49;32;25 - 00;49;35;02 Pete I was going to say Ally McBeal, if you guys remember that. 00;49;35;13 - 00;49;54;00 Sam Yes, I remember Ally McBeal and the dancing baby. And anyway, I'm you know, I'm a lawyer, so I'm I'm I'm going to be I don't have to be critic. Yeah, I hope I don't have to be too critical. But I you know, I get I get really cringe at the way that movies and TV shows screw up all the legal stuff. 00;49;54;00 - 00;49;56;16 Sam So we'll see how this one pans out. You know. 00;49;56;22 - 00;50;12;21 Pete I did see an interview they I did see an interview that they actually had a lawyer on the set. And we're like asking them questions. And it was like driving the lawyer crazy because they're like, well, if you had an alien thing doing this, would that what would be the legal ramifications? So they were trying to like. 00;50;13;11 - 00;50;32;07 Sam Yeah, so that's the other part is though sometimes they even when there's a lawyer there, do they actually have the right kind of lawyer there or are they asking the right question ins? And or do they just ignore the lawyer as to how things I mean, Law and Order is a perfect example, like a ton of stuff that happens in law and order would never happen in real life. 00;50;32;07 - 00;50;44;16 Sam And so I'm not saying the crimes wouldn't happen, but the way that they do the trial and all that stuff is it's it's very frustrating to those of us who actually work in that field. So that's all. 00;50;44;19 - 00;50;50;06 Pete I would not be surprised. But I think when you're talking about superhero. 00;50;50;16 - 00;50;52;00 Sam Yeah, you can suspend. 00;50;52;00 - 00;50;54;12 Pete You can kind of be a little more forgiving maybe. 00;50;54;12 - 00;50;54;23 Sam Yes. 00;50;55;05 - 00;50;55;19 Derrick You would hope. 00;50;55;19 - 00;50;56;20 Sam We'll see. We'll see. 00;50;56;20 - 00;50;59;06 Pete Oh, well, we'll we'll want your expert opinion. 00;50;59;15 - 00;51;01;19 Sam All right. Sounds good. 00;51;01;19 - 00;51;24;11 Derrick Guys.
