Hey, this is Steve blue and you are listening

to the geek cast radio network You are tuned

in to Steve Megatron on altered geek unlimited

Hello and welcome to Geek Unlimited, I'm your

host Steve Megatron Phillips and joining me this

week are... Grandmaster Flash! Mike Squared.

Great! Yeah! Grandmaster Flash, all's I can think

of is um... God, what the hell? I don't know.

I lost it. Anyway. It's gone, Mike. Just let

it go. Yeah, it's gone. Just like that right

to arm bears or bear arms or I don't know whatever

anyway What's going on guys Video games You're

always playing a lot of goddamn video games Although

the year -end is coming up rapidly and I couldn't

be happier I can actually play stuff for fun

as opposed to playing stuff to stress out over

I finished Fallout 4 this past week. Played normally

until about level 40, then I just said fuck it

and I went and used a bunch of exploits. Now

the game is retarded fun. I beat the last mission

by using nothing but nukes. I think power armor

and about 15 nukes can't solve. Was Duke around

when you did this? Yes. It was ridiculous. I

walk into this base. It's full of these guys

in power armor. They're called the Brotherhood

of Steel. They're like, get her! And I'm like,

I don't fucking think so. So yeah, I nuked every

single person in that base about seven times

over. That was more fun than it should have been.

I'm playing Rainbow Six Siege right now, which

is the newest incarnation in that series. It's...

Really hard, just because the AI, it's either

really smart or you have no health. So, and Xbox

One's been having nothing but problems with it.

I'm trying to play Just Cause 3, which kind of

looks like garbage right now. It's poor optimization

on the Xbox One, so I'm gonna be waiting on that.

It seems like the only thing I've talked to in

the last week, it seems like everybody's like,

yeah. ps4 wins everything xbox one bones everything

i don't know xbox one i think has better infrastructure

xbox stop listening stop stop listening i'm talking

to you guys through connect and it's being stupid

xbox activate stupid um i don't know i i think

i just like the operating system for the box

more than i prefer playstations um but that being

said though uh ps4 does get some pretty cool

exclusive stuff like there's some exclusive assassins

creed syndicate stuff i'm hoping to get to in

the next couple of days just because i think

rainbow six should be my last game i review for

the year um and then i'm off until mid january

so thank god um however though because we're

recording this tonight uh the The video game

awards brought to you by Jeff Keighley are airing

right now. And I just found out Telltale Games,

the guys who did the Walking Dead, Tales from

the Borderlands, Game of Thrones, there's going

to be a Batman game. And I'm just like, I'm just

going to vomit money all over the monitor now.

That game will be fantastic. And if they have

the Joker involved, I promise you, Conroy and

Hamill will be involved. Mm -hmm like it's gonna

be oh my god if the writings as good as the walking

dead games have been it'll be phenomenal and

I just saw footage for far cry primal Fucking

saber -toothed tiger eating people pre -order

done going into more Wait, wait, so essentially

you're here. What's his name from the Savage

land now? They're almost like K's are There's

actually one line in the trailer who's like,

you are now the Beast Smasher. I'm like, fuck

yeah, I'll do it all through time. It looks ridiculously

fun though. And then they're also gonna be making

a Psychonauts 2 sequel to Tim Schafer's game

on the original Xbox. That looks pretty sick.

And Rocket League is coming to Xbox. I'm really

excited about that. The awards you're watching,

is this the Spike Video Game Awards? It's what

was the Spike TV Game Awards. Jeff Keely now

runs it, which is really good. I mean, I've met

Keely a couple of times. And if anyone can make

it work, it's him. Although I do miss Spike doing

it, mostly because they brought me out a couple

of years ago. But yeah, they have a lot of really

interesting winners tonight. The only one I would

disagree with is the best multiplayer shooter

was Splatoon on the Wii U. And I'm thinking...

No, but okay It seems like Nintendo's got a huge

presence this year there so it wouldn't surprise

me if some of these things they're just trying

to Hey, here's some money. Um, and they're really

trying to push Star Wars Battlefront Which guys

it's not happening. The game is shit. Um The

battlefield guys are playing it Yeah, you know

what I expected so much more from Star Wars Battlefront

than what we got But hey, maybe the DLC will

fix that, but I'm not picking it up till I know

exactly what I'm getting, because at a $50 Seasons

Pass, that's almost as much as the game. Man,

bite my ass. Not gonna happen, not in this lifetime

or the next. That's the same reason why I ditched

Arkham. Although, to be fair, Arkham's Seasons

Pass content this year, some of it's been underwhelming,

but it's been really consistent. And that's something

a lot of seasons passes cannot say. There's like,

I think the last of it comes out this month actually.

There's like four or five story packs. You get

tons of new skins and new costumes. I actually

might replay through the Arkham game over the

holidays using either the original 1966 Batman

outfit or Batman Beyond with the 1989 Batmobile

just because it looks so cool. So. I don't know.

All the DLC passes I've seen this year, that's

oddly enough one of the strongest. And at $30,

that's not terrible. But I don't like how we're

moving towards that, where that's the standard.

Hey, buy this person's pass and get a third of

the game you should have had already. But it

is what it is, which is really unfortunate. But

hey, gaming, that's 2016 for you. So, wait a

minute. You're telling me they're moving away

from essentially selling discs and then allowing

you to purchase online DLC and they're just going

to season passes eventually? You know what? A

lot of people are saying a lot of games are moving

right towards digital anyway. There actually

have been several major releases. You buy the

game in store, there's a download code inside.

There is no physical media. I don't mind digital

downloads because it's less stuff the store,

but you don't own it. Which means if one of those

games happens to get pulled off Xbox Live or

PSN, if they delist it, you may not be able to

get it back. I've lost several games on Xbox

Live that way. I know Sega pulled, I think it

was Afterburner Climax or something like that.

Amazing port of the arcade game. and Sega delisted

it. So unless it's sitting on your hard drive,

you ain't getting it back. That sucks. I know.

I mean, I like physical media. I really do. But

I like having all my information in the cloud.

Like, for example, I have two Xboxes, one I bought

and one that I won. And I have my my save games

all sync up into the cloud. So if I'm playing

out here in the living room where I'm talking

to you guys and I want to move to the bedroom,

my save game is Right there, ready to go. All

my games on the hard drive, right there, ready

to go. I love that. That's convenience to me.

At the same time, if I have a disc, I can take

it with me. And if my hard drive happens to get

destroyed, then I still have the physical disc.

With services like Steam, EA Origin, et cetera,

et cetera. Digital distribution does seem to

be the future and sometimes you get exclusive

digital content. You don't get in the physical

Editions and vice versa as long like for me like

I had steam for a while on This computer that

I had before I upgraded to Windows 10 I haven't

had steam in a few years because I just I don't

play enough on it. I don't buy enough games on

them I'm editing my PC enough doing all the podcast

stuff. So I just have no use to have steam on

my computer anymore, but it's one of those things

where if the new digital age of video games Does

not allow you to buy the full physical game and

only allows you like I guess I don't know, and

you can tell me, Mike, because you're the one

that's in on this. This season pass crap sounds

like they're se - Well, you said it. They're

essentially selling you half of the game, and

then they're gonna make you buy the other half

late. That's just dumb. If I'm spending 60 bucks

on something that's a digital frigging download,

it better be the entire game that they originally

planned to release. This is why - See, sometimes

season's content is worth it. Like, you'll see

really good stuff. Why is that? Despite what

you may think of Arkham Knight, it's been consistent

this year. That's something a lot of games can't

say. With Call of Duty, with the Season's Pass,

you get the new map packs. And a lot of stuff

has to go into development for that. So I'm okay

with map packs as long as they're consistent.

I mean, although you look at something like,

say, Halo 5 Guardians, there is no Season's Pass

for that. However, though, if you want to buy

a bunch of microtransactions, that funds the

development of further DLC that is free. And

that money also goes into prize pools for tournaments,

et cetera, et cetera. So I don't know. I'm kind

of on the fence about it. All I'm saying about

this whole thing is if I'm going to go on Steam

and I click on, let's say, Saints Row 10, I don't

know, whatever, Grand Theft Auto 6, if I just

want the main game that they release for Grand

Theft Auto 6, whenever the hell they do it, and

it sits there and says, okay, this is $49 .99,

$59 .99, I better be getting the whole frigging

game if I'm gonna pay that price for a digital

thing. Now, if it says, okay, this is Grand Theft

Auto 6, but it's seasoned past content, then

I'm like, okay, fine, I know to look for the

other... you know full because the season pass

stuff it it sounds to me and i i know it's not

this but the way it's sounding in my head is

that it's um it's kind of uh oh god damn it i

lost it again it it sounds to me like it's only

um certain parts of Yeah, it's basically extra

stuff, although having stuff like that locked

behind a paywall is stupid. I know years ago

when they had Street Fighter X Tekken for the

Xbox 360 and PS3, the extra characters that you

could get via the Season's Pass or via DLC were

already on the disc. You were paying for an unlock

code. That is horseshit. But if they're going

to give you new content that gives you new story

and news, basically if the price justifies the

content, I'm okay paying for it. But if it doesn't,

then punch right in the fucking coconut. Because

that is complete crap. I refuse to buy games

anymore that have that kind of content. Only

for the fact that and I know it's kind of wrong

But I'll buy I'm used or I'll wait until the

game of the year edition and I'll still buy it

used Because then everything comes with it and

I don't have to pay anything extra out of pocket

which irritates the shit out of me when I'm good

When I'm trying to buy a game now if it's an

expansion and it comes out like a year and a

half later great I'll buy that but like I'm not

gonna like I the season pass it unlocks or all

this extra, you know like for instance battlefield

for my my brothers and my dad bought the game

for me because I like they were already like

four expansions in at the time when they bought

it for me and I was like I'm not paying $100

to get a damn game and so they they bought the

game for me and then of course like the the season

pass thing so every expansion that comes out

because it's like a premium edition you get to

just download them as it as it goes for the life

of the Battlefield 4 so like the newest one I

get to download for free which that okay I get

but like you can still buy battle packs to unlock

the weapons and stuff which are like anywhere

from like three to ten dollars and I won't spend

that fortunately my brother has that's a lot

of pay to win yeah and see like I I won't do

any of that I won't put extra money into a game

that I'm buying for fun Okay. Can I tie this

into music just for a moment? And I'm going to

get really nerdy here because I've been living

in Kentucky for 22 some odd years now, dueling

banjos. No, not dueling banjos. Um, everything

we just said, okay. What needs to happen is what

Garth Brooks is doing on his website. Okay. He

has a digital bundle for 29 .99. It includes.

the new Man Against Machine album, the new double

live 25th anniversary edition, and all eight

iconic studio albums he's ever put out, plus

a new upcoming studio album that hasn't even

been released yet for $30. You can essentially

get close to 14, 15 albums digitally for 30 bucks.

The gaming companies want to put the 59 99 16

I don't know Mike has there ever been a 69 and

I'm not counting special editions I'm counting

just a regular Regular game has there ever been

like a 69 99 price tag on a regular digital download

game Yeah, I mean I paid Try to think yeah, I've

paid like not I actually when I bought Star Wars

this year because I wasn't provided review copy

I paid $90 for a digital only version okay so

why not and I'm not counting DLC because DLC

is extra stuff it's new stuff whatever for season

pass content and for the full game why not have

them at one price not one price for each side

of it it's This is why I'm so glad I'm not into

console gaming anymore. I miss the Super Nintendo

dammit Well, it's like that across all kind of

platforms now, which is it's just the way that

the business models moving it's just the shitty

way that it is and As long as people are willing

to to pay for these things Speak with your wallet,

but unfortunately even if you boycott something

you're not gonna enough you're not gonna get

enough people to go and do it since we're talking

yeah since we're talking about gaming steve you

want to bring up that thing i showed you which

one game boy okay don't care anymore i figured

it would be on topic i don't know moving on okay

What do you have going on this week? Me? Let's

see. That's not in depth for the next three weeks.

No, no, no. Well, I've already got the first

GCRN interview, first couple interviews set up

for next year already. I'll be interviewing composer

Joe Kramer who did the Mission Impossible five,

not ghost, Rogue Nation score. I'll be interviewing

him next week. What else have I been doing this

week? Showtime synergy is coming to an end, so

we're wrapping that up pretty fast. Let's see,

the pull bag got a whole brand new outlook, thanks

to you. Oh yeah, I forgot I did that. The pullback

and Tooncast Beyond both got brand new looks.

I have yet to debut the Tooncast Beyond look.

I think I put it on Facebook, but I don't think

I changed the Twitter thing yet. What else have

I been working on this week? I've been working

on my Flash Season 1 and Arrow Season 3 score

reviews for La La Land Records. Let's see...

Coming up with new more podcasts for us to do

next year at some point or another Yeah, that's

that's about it Myself Obviously been working

on the art Also getting close to ramping up the

or finishing up the Semester in school. So like

we're doing the final project Now at this point

and then so I'll be glad when that's over in

the next semester. I have screenwriting which

will be interesting And then Started playing

Diablo 3 again last night Which it's been a while

like I keep the game updated in case I ever want

to jump back in and play it and one of my friends

Has been consistently playing it the last I don't

know six months about time. I quit playing it

and He He's he told me started a new character

did it like a season run because I guess it's

on season four now and we set that up and he

blitzed me from Level one to level 70 in a matter

of an hour So that was kind of cool More money

than I know what to do with in the game. So yeah,

I did that and then Had a predicament when I

was working on a guy's computer at work. I had

a pop bottle in my Coat pocket and didn't realize

the cap was warped. So when I got up after an

hour of sitting there at this guy's machine and

realized because I thought I pissed my pants

and I realized that The pop had leaked all the

way through my coat through my shirt and into

my pants and luckily I keep an extra pair of

my desk because Yeah, it was it was like from

my waist to like my knee so it was pretty bad

oh boy so yeah I explained that and they were

just like hey hey hey and I'm like shut up bitch

so yeah that I'm waiting on a solid -state drive

for my PC so I can load Windows 10 on it and

dual boot with my seven that's already here and

then have ten and seven and then Yeah, that way

I can operate a little bit faster and see how

much quicker it is for editing and For playing

my game. So cool Yeah, that's what's been going

on Side stepping that Batman versus Superman

trailer since the show has Basically circled

this movie since its announcement well since

the first episode that was the topic See I've

heard double like I've heard two different sides

of the coin I've heard certain people saying

oh hi this movie looks like garbage or or kill

me now or this movie's not very interesting and

then I've heard people say this is the greatest

thing ever and then I've heard other people saying

you know again you know DCAU you know screw this

mess and blah blah blah um so like I'm just kind

of curious to hear what you guys have to say

on it for me well I called doomsday over a year

ago I knew that was gonna be a bad guy well everybody

knew that I well I've seen an image floating

around I think you posted it too Dodd the one

where they compare it with uh the Abomination

and then Ninja Turtles and then you know some

of the other you know Super Mario Brothers and

Yeah Yeah, but say that's I don't like the design,

but all things considered It's it fits with the

aesthetic of the DCA you mean if they did a straight

-up Doomsday like the comics it would look kind

of stupid even if they copied the injustice version

Like you know what? I'm okay with it. I mean,

I think it's kind of cool and I think Seeing

Ben Affleck as Batman was pretty fucking legit.

I was really impressed with that I I honestly

think he's the best Batman and Bruce Wayne we've

had since Michael Keaton. Oh, absolutely. Yeah

Like I didn't care for bail much. I mean, I liked

him better than like obviously Kilmer and Clooney,

but Cluny I will never defend but Kilmer I will

say that he was a better Bruce Wayne than he

was a Batman Cluny played a better Bruce way

that he did a Batman Bales he's not I don't know.

It's The Nolan thing sits in a different category

almost Yeah, like I like Bales performance. I

know his Bruce Wayne was not quite charming enough

but business like in Keaton's Bruce Wayne was

more, you know, casual and in Affleck's Batman

is more hardened and grim. Yeah. I mean, I think

this movie may actually be somewhat decent. Like

I said, I'm really curious to see what happens

with it now. I love Jesse Eisenberg's Lex Luthor.

I hate him. A lot of people are saying exactly

what Steve just said. A lot of people have seen

it. That is my only gripe with it. Granted, his

lines are fitting, but it's also foreshadowing

for later. Like, oh, this guy's got a pretty

strong grip. Wouldn't want to pick a fight with

this guy. We've also heard, what was the guy

who did it on Smallville? Michael Rosenbaum.

He's made similar cracks before too. Well, but

I'm not even nitpicking at the lines. That's

the writing. That has nothing to do with the

actor. This is Alex before he goes bald. Okay,

if he goes hardcore, dark, which it seems like

that from the trailer, and he becomes the sinister,

intelligent business, more or less closer to

the DCAU, and I'm not... literally I'm not trying

to like compare it to that because I know it's

two different beasts and I'm loving the fact

that Batman is pulling directly from the Dark

Knight and I'm loving or the Dark Knight returns

and then I'd like the fact that Superman's his

own thing like you know the almost like an injustice

God mixed with you know Man of Steel and then

I'm hoping that Lex Luthor takes after the DCAU

like once he gets fully into his normal. character

with the baldness and everything else because

right now he seems kind of like a Mark Zuckerberg

and it just kind of rumps me the wrong way. I

kind of like that though simply because it might

be a different take on and if his Lex Luthor

evolves to the point where he does bad things

because he thinks he's doing the right thing

like I love that one line from the trailer like

if if like we can't kill God I'll create something

that can. I'll create the devil that can. Yeah,

exactly. I really, like, I, like, I really like

Lex Luthor because that's kind of the impression

I've got. Like, sure, he's been an evil, twirly

mustache, monocle motherfucker in the past, too.

But I've also seen performances on, like, Smallville

where you see he's not necessarily twirly mustache

evil, but he thinks he's doing the right thing

in his own mind. Like, like everyone's the hero

of their own story in their own head. And I don't

know, I think it'd be different to see Lex Luthor

like this on the big screen. Obviously, it's

not Michael Rosenbaum, nor is it Gene Hackman's

performance. Or even Kevin Spacey. Yeah, or Kevin

Spacey. This might be interesting. I'm legitimately

interested for a change. I see him specifically

for Eisenberg. In the trailer, all I can see

him in is makeup and a purple jacket. Like, seriously,

he would have been better as the Joker. They

could have gotten anybody else to play Lex. It's

kind of like how he's the young hot shot though,

and I think maybe bringing youth to this role

might be a really good idea. He's supposed to

be like the hipster, you know, version of Lex

Luthor. The dot com version. Yeah, and that's

why his company looks the way it does and so

on. Funny note about that, the Lex Court building

is actually, because this whole movie was filmed

in Michigan for the most part, the building,

because my teacher showed the trailer eight times

and pointed out every object of it that is from

Michigan. That's pretty cool though. He's privy

to that information being that I'm in a media

class, but he said that the LexCorp building,

all they did was put the LexCorp logo on the

Motion Picture Studio building because it's actually,

that's the actual building, the outside of the

green screen soundstage building that they used

for a lot of the green screen stuff of the movie.

And that's all they did was slap the logo on

the outside of it on the one corner and That's

how they got that and then the museum thing where

you know Bruce Wayne's pulling up and they're

doing the interviews and everything else That's

like an actual museum in Detroit, right? and

then the train station building and the stuff

when they're jumping around or the Batmobile

is driving around and and Doomsday is jumping

off like those are all buildings from Detroit.

So it's it's kind of funny but no, I mean I really

enjoy the trailer and I I don't know. I almost

enjoyed it more than Civil War. No, I know. I

can't agree to that. I don't know. They're about

tied for me, honestly. Well, I said I almost

like it more than Civil War because to me, I

liked Civil War trailer because of the, you know,

the kind of heaviness of breaking of friendships

between Tony and Rogers. the trailer, you know

saying well, he's my friend and he says well

I was your friend too or whatever, you know,

I mean that's that's just kind of heartbreaking

for those two characters, but I Felt let down

because again, they're pulling the same method

that Star Wars is doing with Luke and not showing

spider -man so like it Bothered me for that.

Although they're probably if they're going to

show them It'll be lit closer to the time of

its release probably like Super Bowl or something

But, I genuinely enjoyed this trailer more, plus

the fact that you have Wonder Woman coming to

screen for the first time. She looks good! I'm

legitimately impressed with how Gal Gadot looks.

I know, I am not disappointed whatsoever in that.

She looks cool! I know, and it's funny because

she has to be the one that comes to save Superman

and Batman. Because let's face it, Superman would

have been fine, Batman would have been toast.

Is she with you? I wish. Superman's like, is

she with you? And then Batman's like, I thought

she was with you. Which that's a huge DC Inside

joke between the three of them. Well, this is

going to be funny too because before she comes

to save, she's actually scoping out that area

anyway because of... She's at the ball that or

at the party that Bruce Wayne's going to that

Clark Kent's interviewing him at Because she

ends up dancing with Bruce Wayne, which is in

a previous, you know screenshot and in trailer

So it's all connected in that sense. So she's

there the whole time. That's just how that plays

out. But anyways, I think it's funny that they're

already filming Wonder Woman and Marvel still

sitting there trying to collect their balls and

figure out when they're going to do their first

female superhero movie. I really hope Captain

Marvel turns out for Marvel. Well, see, this

is my thing. Like, I wish they would have almost

like, I understand that Black Widow's like the

kind of carry on to all the Marvel movies, but

like it almost... Because like I really don't

know what her role would be if she wasn't in

them, but I think it's because Nobody's really

created one for her see if they did a black widow

movie in the style of say the born Identity I

would watch this. Oh, yeah, I want to and honestly

I would I would like to see that and I don't

know what Marvel's fumbling about like to get

one of these these movies made because The interest

is there That's the odd part and in the fact

that DC's like, you know what? We're gonna beat

you to the punch because you're still trying

to forget, you know figure out what you're doing

and and we're gonna we're gonna go there first

and I think that Having her in this movie, even

though her name is not in the title is going

to definitely help her solo film Absolutely,

and I really hope the Wonder Woman movie is utterly

badass because Wonder Woman it's a character

I don't know a lot about. I actually tried to

read the rebooted Wonder Woman a couple years

ago and I couldn't get into it. I want to have

a female superhero I could hang my fucking hat

on. Unfortunately my favorite female superheroes

are Black Widow and that's only because of the

MCU truthfully and I'm an old school X -Men fan

so I love Psylocke, Rogue, and Jubilee. I can't

name any other superheroes That I really give

a shit about and wonder woman has the potential

has the potential to do that because she's she's

a god Like that's awesome Yeah, and see i'm i'm

more enthused for the dc universe stuff because

one I know more about it about the dc universe

to Marvel my most of my exposures through animated

series and the live -action films And that's

it like I don't read marvel comics typically

um I've tried on and off for years and I can't

find anything that sticks. Well, DC, I still

read their stuff occasionally, but what I've

kind of run into is that either the story sucks

or it's good and it usually ebbs and flows over

the years. So I'm definitely more enthused for

the DC stuff, even though I know it's going to

be more grim and more dark. But it's the same

token. Marvel's heading in the same direction.

So it's either anybody's game at this point.

But I'm more enthused with the DC Batman versus

Superman than I am with Civil War at this point.

For me, it's like Marvel versus DC film universes.

Honestly, they're just now creating the DC film

universe. Because let's face it, no one's stuff

is on its own. It just is. End of story they

started the DC film universe with Man of Steel

and now they're doing this and then they're gonna

do whatever the hell else and Marvel's had their

film universe for seven years now Since Iron

Man, you know and for me, I don't need to read

Marvel Comics to get into the damn movies I mean,

I've been paying attention to you know, most

of the movies. I haven't seen Ant -Man yet. I

want to It's actually pretty good. I mean, it's

not that I don't want to see it. I just haven't

had the chance to see it yet. I enjoyed it more

than Thor. Yeah, see, that's my sticking point

is the Thor standalones. Those just bug the...

I don't know why they do, but they... World I

liked a lot more than I liked the first Thor.

I will agree. I don't know. First Thor I thought

was very plodding, but it was nothing but world

building. Ragnarok is going to be better. Yeah,

Ragnarok should be cool. We have the Hulk. Yes.

But I mean, for me, the Marvel stuff at this

point, as long as they have the same actors in

the same role. Sure, if you want to take Downey

Jr. out and do something else with Iron Man,

make it a different Iron Man, make it whatever,

fine. The guy's only going to get older and older

and older. He's not going to be able to play

Tony Stark forever. As long as he's excited about

playing the role. I said, let him keep doing

it. Um, with, with how marvelous set out their

phases for their, their film universe, it's all

really made sense. And for me, I just can't see

how DC and Warner Brothers is going to make sense

of like, I can't see how Batman vs Superman is

going to open coming off the heels of Man of

Steel. I think the problem with the DC movie

universe is Man of Steel should not have been

the movie to start it. I think it set the wrong

tone for it. Well, I don't think it does. I think

that this... This film is piggybacking off of

the ending of Man of Steel Obviously, which is

what's motivating Bruce Wayne Batman to come

after Superman in the first place So if you don't

have that event, then there's no reason for the

two of them to be no They could have set that

down as one or two movies down the road Give

us the Batman movie first, but we've just come

off a trilogy of Batman So hell no The thing

with me is and I know I Warner Bros isn't gonna

listen to me DC's not gonna listen to me. Obviously

I'm nobody but When when the Nolan films were

done when we weren't sure of what we were gonna

get next don't get me wrong I enjoyed Man of

Steel. I like Henry Cavill I like how they told

the origin story in that movie and nothing but

flashbacks because it was so different than the

Dick Donner origin story we have in the original

Superman's films But I really wanted them to

do the, and I've said this so many times before,

the reverse of what Marvel did. Marvel built

up to the Avengers. I want a DC to start us at

Justice League and then let the League members

spread out into their own movies. They should

have done World's Finest. They should have, you

think? That's still the best team -up movie.

I agree. So should we move on? Yes, please. Alright,

to the show. Anybody a fan of Samurai Jack because

it's coming back. That's kind of cool. Actually

the guy who wrote the comic book Jim Zubkiewicz

had said well, I guess the series is coming back

because my Twitter time has been blowing up And

the fact that they got the original guy to come

back for Samurai Jack. Yeah, I can't pronounce

his name I'm gonna be Kurt Tartakov ski Yeah,

the guy who did the Star Wars micro series, the

clone. Gendi Tartakovsky, yes. I think that's

really cool. I'm really excited to get back into

that series because I saw like a bunch of them

when I was a kid and I thought it was really

cool. So, yeah, that's pretty awesome. I'm kind

of in agreeance. That was one of the few series

I liked that were created towards the end of

Cartoon Network's kind of... run before they

got into the absurd and the crap shows. So I'm

excited for that. What do you think are the Cartoon

Network crap shows? Let's see what you think.

90 % of everything that's on it now. That's how

they keep killing like Young Justice or Beware

the Batman or Thundercats and you know all these

shows that should have had a longer life and

they put on more Teen Titans Go. and in this,

you know, Uncle Grandpa and shit like that. I

like stuff like, um, uh, regular show at Steven

Universe and stuff like that. See, I see those

as garbage shows. What? Regular show's hilarious!

And Rick and Morty's pretty cool, too. Yeah,

I see all those as garbage shows. Fired. Someone

will fight you in the comments. I promise you

didn't let them because I've already gotten bashed

for liking the flash and Boy Meets World in the

the top 100 so I Had I had like a 30 thread comment

going because I was defending the flash and why

I think it should be in the top 100 So you're

basically like TV Hitler to this person essentially

is we TV Hitler Phillips I'll just come right

on and record and say it since the whole damn

thing's done anyway, and we're gonna do our wrap

-up I voted for every one of the the superhero

shows so take that and shove it but Lick your

tape I hear you boss Why they all showed up I

bet well me and like six other people probably

but The... I... I still think Flash is better

than any of the other superhero shows at this

point. I don't even... I tried watching Jessica

Jones, but when they started banging twice within

the first 15 minutes, I was done. What the fuck

are you talking about? What the first 15 fucking

minutes? She doesn't fucking move until like

episode two or three. Nah, it happened the first

episode. I watched the first episode. Wow. Trust

me, it gets better. Yeah, I didn't find it that

interesting of a show. It's not my... I don't

know. It does get pretty dark towards the end

of it, and... David Tennant makes a scary, good

fucking bad guy. Well, see, this is my thing.

I don't know the characters all that well, and

I really am not open to them all that much, because

to me, they're third -level, third -tier or fourth

-tier Marvel characters. Oh yeah, because they're

basically like street heroes. Yeah, and see that

and like Daredevil's like a second tier and I

don't enjoy him either. So like between the two,

like I have no faith in anything. Like I will

grant you that that Netflix does have the ability

to cross the threshold and do things that regular

TV will not allow, which is good. And it also

somehow allowed a better budget for having the

13 episode run. However. I don't enjoy the shows

themselves or the writing or anything like that.

So as far as what I've seen so far, I will say

that I am not going to say that the show is terrible

because obviously people like the stuff. I just

personally don't like that's not my taste. So

like I prefer something that I can just sit back

and enjoy. And that's like to me, I'd rather

watch DC anyway. I can't wait until that Punisher

series drops. That's gonna be fucking amazing.

If they made a Ghost Rider series, I'd probably

be more invested, but I don't honestly care about

any of these. Okay, so since we're talking about

the superhero shows and we mentioned the top

100, I just want to reveal my personal list rankings

of what superhero shows I put where. I put mine

after. I put Gotham at number 100. Just... The

season 2 has gotten much better. I had smallville

at 91 I Had arrow at 52 which it actually came

out to be 52 on the countdown I had daredevil

at 21 and I had the flash at 10 number 10 out

of a hundred so the flash to me Flashing air

well none of that arrows done with the whole

original Ra's al Ghul not the not the Merlin

version but they are that whole season three

crap but the flash to me is is fun it's it's

interesting now that they're doing the whole

crisis on infinite earths thing and everything

else with that and it's just so much fun and

that's the point of it all I think and Don't

know. What was your where did you rank your superhero

shows that you had on your list Steve? Um Funny

thing is daredevil actually came around what

I voted for it I put daredevil at at 36 mm -hmm.

I think it was like 32 or some some shit like

that I'm Trying to go through my list real quick

I put like the 70s Wonder Woman on there or the

80s Wonder Woman or whatever the hell it was

70s. Yeah, I put that in like at 72 Just to make

sure it got a place on the list because I'm it's

a geek network superhero shows Yes, they should

show up Yes to some degree. I'm not saying they

all deserve to be on the list I put the 90s flash

at 50 Yeah. I was stretching to pick shows and

there were shows I did forget. Had I remembered

some shows that were pointed out in the comments

later, I probably would have omitted some of

the shows that showed up on my list. I put Batman

66 at 17, followed by Agents of S .H .I .E .L

.D. and then Gotham because I'm ranking it based

on the current season, not the shit that we got

before. Because when we made the list the current

seasons were already either started or halfway

or some to some degree so like I voted on them

based on what I'd seen of the current season.

So that's why I voted for them where they are.

If I was to vote on them before this season,

Agents of Shield and Gotham would not have been

on my list whatsoever. That just being truthful

there. Heroes I put at 10. Arrow I put at 6.

Same thing there if this season wasn't out. I

wouldn't have put it on there I would have put

it on there, but it would have been like in the

90s or something The flash I put it for Like

the current one and then like TNG I put it three

so like I I had all those on there TNG is not

a superhero show, but no, but I did that just

for Yeah. People making comments that TNG doesn't

deserve to be in the top 10. Oh my god, Mike.

Or in the top 10. I need to send you the link

to part four so you can look at it. There are

people in these comments that are just saying

that the next generation does not deserve to

be in the top 10. What? Yeah. Because we were

like, that's the strongest Star Trek show. And

even Kevin was defending it so that if Kevin

says it, it must be Rowdy. I mean, that's a cultural

touchstone for geeks. Yep. Captain Jean -Luc

Picard. I mean, Jesus, how could you, like, yeah,

I mean, uh, top 10 TV shows of all time? I don't

know, definitely top 25 for sure. I think TNG

covered a lot more philosophical stuff, like,

you know, whether, you know, the sentience, you

know, because there was a lot of question with

data, then you had the, you know, the following

of religions and ethnic backgrounds with, like,

war for the beta zeds or, you know, stuff like

that. So, I mean, there was a lot of, a lot of,

like... A lot of heavy handed topics. Well yeah,

there was a lot of heavy topics and I think TNG

covered it better than any of the other Star

Trek shows and that's why I think that show is

the most relevant out of any of them. I might

argue DS9 did a better job of war. No, I definitely

agree with you. That did better with war and

then you have Gilligan's Island in space for

Voyager and, you know, like for instance Q. Oh,

I could send you back, but where's the fun in

that? We want the show to go another three seasons.

So and then you get Enterprise. Oh, it was all

on the holodeck So like I I don't yeah, I I think

TNG was the strongest one and I put the original

series on there as well as DS 9 and I listed

all of them but Enterprise, but I only put DS

9 and TNG on there because They're the only two

out of all of the shows that I can actually sit

there and watch I would argue But I'm a huge

Voyager fanboy, though. Voyager, I jump around.

There's episodes I skip. Oh, yeah. A lot of episodes

I skip. You know the funny thing? I don't remember

on the countdown, and we'll find out next week,

next Friday, actually, the 11th, when we do the

wrap -up, or when the wrap -up gets released.

I don't remember where the A -Team came in. If

it came in on the countdown, I think it did.

It did? Funny you should say that I This is what

kind of a researcher I was while the top 100

was going on if it was on my list At any point

like I put in the because I did this all in Excel

I put in the column next to it where it actually

landed Okay, so a team landed at 46. I put 51

Okay, A -Team landed at 46, alright. So, the

funny thing is, I've been going back on Netflix

and I have been marathoning every so often the

A -Team. And that show deserves a hell of a lot

more love than it gets. Because that show is

just amazing. Those four guys face Murdoch, BA,

and Hannibal. Oh my god. Just amazing the funny

thing is the first season of the a -team It was

kind of like what Netflix and AMC and all those

networks and stuff do now where Hey, let's just

have an eight eight episode season or a ten episodes

the first season of the a -team is only 14 episodes

and where the rest of it is like 23 24. Well

actually season 4 was 17 But I mean like the

a team if that show was still going today. It

could really last them in the current model of

the midseason finale kind of thing But man, do

I love going back watching this show. It is so

awesome Okay, so shot has everyone seen joining

heroes joining forces the flash arrow crossover

this week i have not i have nots of course you

have it's mike i had a little catching up man

i haven't finished uh... arrows all you have

it how far are you um halfway through halfway

through halfway through what's the last thing

you saw mike cover your ears for spoilers i'm

good a kid playing with action figures okay you're

there okay okay okay okay so you haven't seen

very ghosting yet right no okay well yeah that

happens and oh damn it's oh damn Oh, it is so

good. Okay, so Now, you know, I I know people

don't tend to listen to others sometimes But

I'm sorry if the guy that is playing arrows says

that's yes season You know the last season of

flash and arrow you kind of didn't have to watch

Either like if you're only watching the flash

last season you didn't really need to watch the

arrows part of the crossover But if you wanted

to you could Vice versa if you're only watching

everyone you're not watching the flow this year

You he Stephen Amell said on one of his Facebook

video chats that these the the crossovers for

this year of both shows Tied directly into each

other and I mean what because they're this crossover

event specifically Flashes is called legends

of today Arrows is called legends of yesterday

because they're setting up Legends of Tomorrow,

the show coming out in January. And damn, do

I love these shows. Oh man, so awesome. So Mike,

you're still catching up. Where the hell are

you? I haven't had a chance to watch in a couple

weeks, honestly, because gaming season has got

me so busy reviewing so many things. Are you

still on season one? Yep, but because I got so

much... break the catch up since I'm going to

take a month off. Yeah, you'll catch up quick.

Yeah, the only show I ever keep up with week

to week. No, there are two shows I keep up with.

I keep up with the Goldbergs and Agents of Shield.

And Shield's been really consistent this year.

It's actually been really good. What was that

Steve, sorry? I says it's actually been really

good. Yeah, like, I'm really impressed, especially

the last episode. It took some pretty big balls

to do what they were doing there, so. Yep. Although

I wonder if they played their Inhumans card too

early, considering the movie got pushed back.

But as civil war unfolds, we'll probably hear

about more gifted people and whatnot. So it'll

be interesting to see how SHIELD and the MCU

all tie together. when it all happens, but they

consider both worlds separate because Coulson's

still dead in the MCU according to them, but...

Yeah, we'll see. Yeah, that's what I'm kind of

thinking, like, the character's too popular to

not acknowledge in some capacity. Joss Whedon,

you're no longer involved, so... Yeah. Yeah,

I'm kind of surprised you're keeping up with

those. I keep up with every show week to week

to the point I irritate my wife, but... Because

it drives her nuts because like she's like I

want to watch the movie. I'm like I had a ketchup

on TV I'm like we can watch movies in the midseason

like when there's nothing going on Yeah, um and

I watched Survivor with my wife cuz that's our

thing um Yeah, yeah, I only watched those three

shows anything else If it happens in just me

like I watched the Constantine episode of arrow

this or yeah of arrow Thought that was pretty

cool and now they're talking about him becoming

a permanent part of Legends of Tomorrow for season

two And there was also I don't I don't know if

it was a fluff piece or if it was just a clickbait

piece There's also a news story saying because

of what happens in the crossover this week that

Cisco Ramon is gonna end up on Legends of Tomorrow

a couple of times because I'd be pretty cool

That's one thing and I know we've talked about

this before but this is one thing I cannot stand

is Quote -unquote news stories that are really

not news stories. I Think you're gonna see all

these characters cross over in that show. Oh,

absolutely So because there's gonna be a lot

of time jumping. That's that's their that's their

Justice League essentially Yeah Only done better

than the 90s one Have you seen the 90s one? It's

got flash, green lantern, and like a hot girl

type of character, and then a couple others.

It's really hokey. I was gonna say, are you talking

about that really weird pilot? Yeah. Yeah, that

was... Flash's league? Fucked up. I don't even

know how else to describe it. It was weird. It

was really bad. It was like the Fantastic Four

of the 90s. Have you actually seen that? Yeah.

I do like the Dr. Doom costume, though. Mm -hmm.

It's actually surprisingly more comic -accurate.

And better than the Fantastic Four from this

summer. Actually, you know what's really weird?

A little bit of behind the curtain. So I contacted

Fox this past week, and I've got back on their

screeners list. They sent me three movies this

week. Or sorry, three things. They sent me Fresh

Off the Boat, which is a really funny comedy.

They sent me Last Man on Earth. I also love that

show. Sand is Little Helper with The Miz and

Paige. But they refused to send me Fantastic

Four. I really think Fox is trying to erase this

movie from history. No, at some point down the

road, there's gonna be some time cop like incident

where Jean -Claude Van Damme is gonna go back

in time and prevent someone from erasing the

Fantastic Four movie from history. Kind of like

how Universal pulled Jim after two weeks. Man,

the second that comes out on DVD, that's an instant

buy for me because I can't wait to riff the shit

out of that. It's gonna be a collector's item.

I have it. But it's not bad. It's not gem. It's

various components of the gem idea meshed together.

But do you think it was just something that had

sit on my shelf and I just changed a couple of

words around? No, they didn't have direction.

The writing, they tried to cobble together the

multiple aspects of the animated series. The

family the you know, you know never giving up

on one another, you know all the all those good

vibey messages that Christy marks originally

made and The rest of it it just I don't know

it well I can tell you What the What the concept

for that is as stupid as this is gonna sound

But it's true Hollywood is run by a bunch of

rich -ass people who know how to fill theater

seats and sell blu -rays and merchandise. They

don't give a shit if it's a good movie. But they

also don't want to lose money either. No. And

Jem barely made back its budget. It didn't make

back. I thought it did. I thought it just barely

made it back. Nope. It did not make its budget

as far as I know I'll be a fucking tax write

-off anyway Because that we have what like a

five million dollar budget or something something

really small Yeah, it had a a five million dollar

budget Literally five million. Mm -hmm. That's

not much it had I've seen kickstarters get more

money than that rock of Mars got six In a five

million dollar budget, it made 2 .8 million.

You know what's depressing? We're gonna get Mystery

Science Theater 3000 one is over three million

dollars. It made more money than Jem. That's,

oh my god, I want Mystery Science Theater to

riff Jem. Oh my god. I was gonna say that. Oh

my god. Well, they do have Pat Noswalt and Felicia

Day on there now, so that could work. Oh my god,

please internet make this happen. But I can't

see Universal giving the rights up to that. But

then again, who knows, right? That would be amazing.

My god, I need something. Man, I would go to

the theater for a live riff if they got the Riff

Tracks guys to do that too. Well, yeah, I think

they're separate, but with the option. They are,

but that's the original Tom, Servo, and Crow.

Are the like kind of rift tracks guys But still

that's funny as shit. I can't believe that though

Although like actually Mike look up real quick.

Is there a release date for it? There's no way

they bury it that bad you think no, I think they

I think they've pretty much buried it that fucking

bad, dude I'm sorry Steve. I Know I know I know

just hang on January 19th So yeah home media,

yeah You guys you guys should do it rift tracks

no No, no, no, no, we should all just form our

own rift tracks and we'll just sit here and we'll

just we'll just rip So if you mix if you mix

mystery science theater 3000 with cinema sins

and honest trailers you'd have the ultimate like

rift tracks type of setup See yeah, that would

be pretty legit The problem is with the gem movie

and I hate to say this but it's the truth They

didn't get Christy Mark. Are you a gem apologist?

Not about the film. No, I'm pointing out the

problem with the film the film could have been

Great if they had had Kristy Marks doing more

than just a cameo appearance. If they had her

on the writing of the damn thing, if that because

she knows what she's essentially the creator

of the animated series. She really is. You know,

she did all the story stuff, everything else.

If they had had her write the story and get it

approved by Universal. Yeah, but sometimes you

can't see the forest for the trees, you know

what I mean? That person means most of the franchise

may have proved to be a problem. No, I don't

think it would have because it would have made

it a lot better than what it was. See, this is

what I don't get. The people that create these

shows and bring them to fame and everything else

without really trying, especially if it's based

on an animated series, why in God's green earth

do they not employ these people to write their

films. I think it may have to do with creative

differences. Well, I can see creative differences,

but the studios are so ass -backwards in trying

to make a buck instead of trying to make a good

movie and make a buck. Because if it's good,

people will spend more money. What Jim and the

Holograms, the 2015 film, needed was a female

fucking director. That's what it needed. It needed

a female writer and a female director. It did

not need John GI Joe Choo He was kind of a weird

choice for this he was a weird choice, but also

the other thing is It was just piss poor writing

No, I'm not I There are parts about the movie

that I enjoyed Okay, and I really don't want

to say too much about it because Nicole and Amy

and I are gonna do a full -on review of the film

in January, so That's good, because I don't want

to talk about it all that much. I know, but I'm

just saying, it's not as bad as everyone is making

it out to be. Yes, it's not Jim the cartoon series

from the 80s. It can't be. It never can be. The

same way that the comic from IDW is not the same

Jim. But you can keep the lifeblood and the vibe

if you have the right writers. Right. Well, the

comic is doing that. But what I'm saying is you

can't just replicate what already happened because

it's just not going to work. Like I said if they

had anybody else in that director's seat or that

writers chair It would have been a hell of a

lot better than what a lot of people felt it

was I liked it wasn't the worst thing I've seen

so You know What else do you want to talk about

Steve? Well, I have Well, there's of course Star

Wars I was watching a bunch of the JJ Abrams

interviews and some of the stuff like that and

then There was a thing for that, you know how

they always do those omaze things where you get

to yeah Fill out and try and win to go to the

premiere or whatever if you go towards the bottom

There's also a way to enter without paying any

money, which is kind of deficient purpose, but

You only get one entry, but it's like the more

money you spend the more entries you get So like

your chances and in winning this really snowballs

chance in hell Hey, man, you can't win if you

don't play right? Yeah, I played but uh So yeah,

like it's it's You know, they give away four

tickets or whatever. But anyways, they had Mark

Hamill running undercover in a stormtrooper outfit

on Hollywood Boulevard interrogating people on

Star Wars and taking photos with them. And it

was quite funny. Nobody recognized his voice

at all. And he didn't take the mask off. Somebody

was like, yeah, I love that Mark Hamilton and

Hamilton and then he just like like the stormtrooper

face looks at the camera like he would be given

when it is like what the F faces but like, you

know the mask was over it so it was kind of funny

So like I was I was laughing watching that but

uh Yeah, I'm I'm pretty geeked for the movie

even though I have no idea what's going on with

it, but Not too much longer now Nope. 15 days.

14 days when this releases, so... I'm looking

forward to it. I got my tickets for the Thursday

night. I don't have tickets yet. According to

AMC, there's not that many left in the U .S.

Like, a lot of places are sold right out. I'm

not gonna see it opening weekend anyway, so...

I could not see this not opening weekend. This

is... This is more important than the prequels.

because we knew while it was gonna happen that

this is completely unknown territory. So I'm

pretty hyped for it. I'm looking forward. I'm

hoping I don't have to wait outside for 15 hours

like I did for episode one. So my wife is done

school. Like she's done for the winter break

that day. So I may just camp outside the theater.

Mean obviously I'm gonna get ticked. I've already

I'm gonna get my spot, but I'm hoping because

I'm handicapped though wheel me in first Hopefully

I can get something really nice. You should just

you should use the force I really should have

like you want you should just wave at them. You

will let me in I'm pretty excited for proceeding

although now Canada our theater chain is pretty

much saying you can't bring lightsabers, you

can't bring stormtrooper outfits to this thing.

A lot of the US is too. Yeah. And given recent

events, I can see why. Although it's funny, though,

when I actually called the president of Cineplex

up here in Canada, probably about two months

ago, and I asked her this question, like, are

you discouraging this? Yes or no? Yeah, like

we've always had a policy of no mass. I mean,

as long as you can be identifiable. That's no

problem. Although, reading some of the comments

people are posting about this, you'd be surprised

how quickly it turned incredibly racist. I hate

humanity. But still though, I mean obviously

the 501st Legion will have people there dressed

up in something. Probably see a lot of x -wing

pilots and maybe a lot of Imperial officers less

stormtroopers and you know and Jedi well It's

basically a burlap sack So I guess we'll just

kind of have to wait and see although I always

love watching the 501st come out in their stormtrooper

outfits Like damn, I I know two guys One is a

pretty awesome stormtrooper a pretty awesome

Vader and an amazing scout trooper I'm hoping

to do something with our local theater for Star

Wars. I know for my holiday gift guide. I'm supposed

to receive You trooper outfit and some other

stuff from a costume company. So I'm really hoping

they end up coming through for me Did you guys

see the interview? that Fallon did with Ford

Where he broke his action figures leg. Mm -hmm.

Oh, that was a hot toys one, too That made me

sad That's just so wrong. I like watching the

a different video, but it was it was it's a yeah

It's a good thing that the Fallon show is taped

Because that way at least they know where to

put the bleeps because Harrison dropped like

six f -bombs He did in in Jimmy Kimmel to show

too, so. He is an amazingly crusty old man, but

he does it so well. Yes, he does. Chewie, suck

my hands. Like, I just get paid for it, Jimmy.

Daniel Craig is my wookie bitch now. Well, I

think it was funny because they had Chewie standing

in a building getting ready to jump and Jimmy

Kimmel's like, wait, aren't you going to do something?

And he's like. Good, he did something to my wife.

And then he was going to let him jump and then

he went up there and saved him or whatever. But

it was pretty stupid, but funny at the same time.

They also had R2D2 show up in Jimmy Kimmel and

use the hologram and you see Carrie Fisher talking

shit about going on Jimmy Fallon's show. Not

Jimmy Fallon's, but Jimmy Kimmel's. Did you see

the story where... Supposedly Disney asked her

to lose weight for the role Disney made Carrie

Fisher and Mark Hamill get Trainers. Oh They

made them get fit for the movie. There was an

interview I was watching of Mark Hamill today

that uh, it's like PC gamer or some other place

like that did an interview with him while he

was doing something for like Wing Commander and

They did the motion capture and everything else

with it, but he Somebody gave him a loaded question

says so Are you doing any because he was talking

about having to work out for you know getting

paid to work out for Star Wars And they're like

so have you been doing any like sword fighting

classes or anything and he says that's a loaded

question And like dodging it completely he says

I'm not saying I haven't but I'm not saying I

was either Oh, what was the line in the Fallon

thing with Ford at the end? Dammit I quoted it

too There was Jimmy asked him did you like putting

the costume on again? I showed up to be paid

or so. He says something about showing up to

be paid So next Changing gears a little bit next

Wednesday DC Comics and IDW are launching Batman

TMNT number one This is gonna be interesting

Yep So before we go is there anything you guys

want to pimp out? Um should have the twig holiday

gift guide in the next couple of days I'm still

waiting on some additional material to come in.

So that's why it's been delayed most of this

week I'm still waiting for the additional kind

of Star Wars stuff to show up So hopefully by

the middle of next week at the very latest I'm

probably gonna say there's gonna be a special

Star Wars terrible warriors coming out for the

force awakens. I'm preparing the campaign right

now So that'll be pretty cool. We're also talking

about some big plans for that show as well. So

hopefully when we have more to announce, I can

tell you more. Should have a review for Rainbow

Six Siege by next week. And twig topic show this

month, Star Wars, because we've never done one

before. Really? That's GDB, Robuck, and I'm not

sure who else is going to join us. I'm sure I'll

find someone. So yeah, that's what I got going

on. For me Ryan Dross from Star Joe's and I are

doing some Star Wars comic coverage on the pullback

June cast me on was supposed to come back this

week or next week, but sadly that doesn't look

like that's gonna happen Let's see what else

We get the top 100 we get the year in review

coming up we get A few more Star Wars countdowns

that Kevin Optimus Solo is doing with his friends.

Yeah, that's about it. As for myself, I'll be

finishing up that school project, which will

be nice. I'm gonna start taking my dog to obedience

classes. Since we have heard she's 10 weeks old.

Beagle, this one's very bullheaded. I'm not even

joking like this one's like very strong -willed,

but again she's a redhead so that's It's kind

of runs in that that vein there. They're very

stubborn so This dog is she's got a problem with

like biting, but she's also teething so that's

that's part of it and then we want to teach the

dog to listen because unlike our sadly our dog

that passed away didn't she would listen but

like when it came to like food or when we needed

her to get over in a certain area she wouldn't

do it like wouldn't listen didn't care so she

had selective hearing yeah this one has um don't

feel like it hearing uh So we're going to train

the dog to pay attention. So that'll be nice.

I'm going to be doing some more stuff for the

site. As far as graphics, I'm hoping to get to

start doing like some maybe some video blog stuff

for AlternGeek type stuff and kind of leading

up to like the 12 days of Christmas essentially.

I'm kind of hoping to do that, even if it's just

a general blog type thing, or vlog, and then

maybe some geekery in it. Probably geekery. I

don't have a clue. We'll be finishing up the

short film this week with the audio, so that

will be great, and then the following week we'll

have our film festival showing, so that'll be

really cool. Yeah, that's pretty much all I got

going on. So can I show up to your film vessel

in like a giant dingo costume? I don't care.

You can show up. I totally would. I really, really

would. Like if you don't vote for this film to

win, something's going to happen. See, I don't

even know if it's to win anything. I don't know

if it's just a display or if it's to win because

like I've actually never gone to any of these

before. Look, man, you just tell me who to fuck

and I'll do it. Oh, god. Oh, gross. Oh, gross.

How many dudes do I have to blow to get Steve

to win? Moving on. I believe in you. Moving on.

But, yeah, after it displays at the film festival,

I can post it online so that I'll have it available.

So, yeah. Anyways, how can people... Can you

redunk all the voices after you're done? Dub

all the voices. Yeah, just you just whoever we

can get into it. Let's just redub the entire

thing Well, I was gonna say instead of redubbing

it. Why don't we just do a riff tracks? We could

do that. We'll just watch it watch it on like

Google on Google Hangouts or something hangouts

and then Because it's like a 12 minute video

and then we'll sit there and rip the shit out

of it during the play Be fun to do We'll just

put pictures of our avatars and we'll make up

like cartoon characters and put them in place

and then we'll, you know, so we can be like the

robots. So anyways, how can people get a hold

of you guys on social medias? I'm at tfgmike

on Twitter. Sacrifice a small animal and mention

my name. You can also follow me on Twitter at

Birdman Dodd and Instagram and Facebook at the

same. But the sacrifice works faster. Yes. You

can get ahold of me on the Twitter's at scp21.

So until next time, get Altered Geeky with the

Altered Geeks.
