TV Watching Habits and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Hey, this is Steve Blum, and you are listening

to the Geekcast Radio Network. Hi, this is Pat

Fraley, purveyor of duck, dog, and villain voices,

and you're watching Altered Geek. welcome to

Altered Geek Unlimited episode 35 I'm your host

Steve Megatron Phillips and joining me as usual

now is oh me Mike Booth Inja Powers yes out of

the swing of things a little bit but just throw

that out there holy cow just drop it just could

be hosting by yourself just yeah you hang in

there that would be sad although No offense to

Mike, but it seems like they I got better reception

from that than When he was on for some reason

oh From some people I don't I I have no problem

with it, but anyways So yeah, hope everybody

enjoyed the the the car and life conversations

from last week See that I didn't see you one

hating on it. I didn't either I know there are

some people that want to see my TV list Still

trying to figure out the best way to do that

other than just like an info dump But I will

probably not this episode maybe like another

future episode and to clarify I am I Watch or

I try I should say I track 61 different TV shows

obviously the TV shows are not on year -round

Some air during the summer and some air during

the fall. I think the most that I've ever Had

on my docket at one time was like 40 And that

could get kind of daunting No, I are there certain

shows that you watch week to week and then there's

certain ones that you you wait and blitz them

all in one season Well, here's how okay This

is where my TV watching habits like came from.

I needed something to do at the movie theater

And back when there was film there was a lot

of running around but Every once in a while you

would end up with maybe an hour and a half or

you didn't have anything to do Plus there were

two hours at the end of the night where there

was nothing to do. So there was a whole lot of

There was a lot of TV watching going on then

When we went digital at the movie theater, all

of a sudden there was nothing to do So I was

stuck with a 15 hour shift in a 17 hour shift

respective respectfully working Tuesdays and

Saturdays and I needed to fill that void with

something A lot of it like more a majority of

it was filling it with TV every once in a great

while like every Every couple of years. I would

like just binge and gorge on comics that I had

been like missing But TV became like kind of

My hobby if you will through torrent through

torrents mostly because I didn't really watch

I Wouldn't watch them when they're on TV because

The five days when I wasn't at work I would spend

playing video games or hanging out with friends

or my girlfriend who is now, you know my wife

But those two days of the week Tuesdays and Saturdays.

Those are my TV days. So Mostly I broke I break

it down into I guess like The what you're talking

about other shows that you watch on a weekly

basis I guess that those would be considered

like my must -watch TV shows and Those are TV

shows that I will like pay attention to when

I'm watching them at work I will watch them and

I won't play on my phone or anything like that

or browse the internet on my iPad. I'll just

straight watch them but then there are other

shows that are i consider them train wreck shows

and they are shows that i think uh are so bad

or i don't want to say so bad but are are bad

to the point where i can't i can't not watch

them like i can't look away is basically what's

going on uh with with the train wreck shows kind

of like i can't turn away from watching this

train wreck and it's kind of like I keep watching

it because there's some stuff that I like and

there's some stuff that I don't like and I hope

that the stuff that I like will become like the

basis for the show or more prevalent. Case in

point, I remember starting to watch Arrow and

the first half of season one, like that first

half of season one of Arrow was a train wreck

to me. It was yeah, I'm I'm going to watch this

but I wasn't actively paying attention to it

what I was paying attention to was You know laughable

at best finger pointing and big no -nos but I

stuck with it like I couldn't not watch it and

You know, obviously it picked up in the last

half of season one and everything's carried over

into season two And it's actually a pretty it's

a decent show now So that's like a classic one

and and some some shows don't even like survive

that One of my other rules of thumb when I'm

trying out a brand new show as I give it two

episodes So basically they get their pilot episode

and their first standard episode for TV series

so I can kind of see you know because a lot of

changes can happen from the pilot episode to

The either the first episode or the second episode

Yeah, and so it's kind of like well, I'll see

if they made I'll see if they made any changes

that Make the show more appealing to me and I

can't See I watched so many shows that I can't

really remember the last show that I just stopped

watching after two episodes No, you know what

I can I I will have to say the one that jumps

to my mind is the ringer It was the most recent

Sarah Michelle Geller series Mm -hmm. Yep. I

want that one. Yeah, I gave that it's two episodes

and I was like nope done because it wasn't even

intriguing enough to Like pay attention to for

those two episodes That's the most recent one

I can't really think of anything this this pass

like this past fall that started like that There

are a couple shows that I chopped immediately.

I know revolution went by the wayside Hostages

went by the wayside as well Just because they

were so Well revolution didn't know what the

hell it was and hostages was just what so As

far as like marathon and stuff. There is there

are certain shows that I will marathon Like once

upon a time Okay, I will let that stack up, not

because I don't like that show. I actually do

enjoy that show quite a bit, but I find that

I enjoy that show more when I've got maybe three,

four, sometimes five episodes to watch in a row.

So you're not having to wait week to week to

kind of get the satisfaction of the story that

they're telling. Exactly. Like I can follow.

I can see the story. I get to see the story unfold

instead of being like, oh, man, I have to wait.

And so it's that's. There's that one that does

it and I think I've got another one. I'm let

me check here real quick For some reason I haven't

started watching the Americans yet this year

like I've got all five episodes downloaded But

I haven't started watching that Continuum there's

been three episodes of that and I haven't checked

in on it. I have it's actually pretty good see

the the issue I'm running into now is that my

Days at work got cut down. So I only work half

a day at the theater on Mondays now I still work

all day Sunday but there are Just a lot of TV

shows that come out so I find myself trying to

watch the ones that I actually want to watch

and Saving up on the rest saving up on the rest

and it that could either be because I want a

marathon them or just because I don't really

feel like watching them like For instance just

throwing these out there. I have four episodes

of the tomorrow Our people that I'm behind on

which is a CW superhero show It's not bad, but

it's it was getting good when I stopped watching

it So I think I will probably catch up on that

this weekend And I've got five episodes of the

new CW series star -crossed which I I've only

watched two episodes of that but given that there's

five means I haven't watched it in almost a month

and a half So I should probably remove that one

from my list but Don't know so yeah, I kind of

want to I'm trying to figure out how to do this

like I said I've got 61 shows that I'm currently

tracking I was thinking you know, maybe when

Danner shows back up so he can ridicule my my

watching what I watch Maybe we could split it

into two episodes and I could go like alphabetically

like 1 through 30 and then 31 through 61 or something.

Mm -hmm split it up over two episodes and people

can tell me what I should keep watching and You

know what I should Left fall by the wayside and

there are certain things that I will not give

up on no matter what people say because Well,

I know what I like or or some things on here

like for instance, I'll throw out another one

Grey's Anatomy I am ten seasons in the end of

that show. I'm not giving up on it until it's

over So or until I do something completely stupid

or get rid of a character that I really care

Really like I shouldn't say careful that I really

like so like that one won't go away because I've

invested you know ten seasons into that so but

Yeah, so just to clarify long -winded speech

there about my TV watching and and stuff like

that So maybe starting next week when Danner

comes back. We'll do a two -part thing and That

way you guys can You know tell me how bad my

My TV stuff is at the same time though. I think

that the amount of shows that I've watched over

the years That have come and gone. I'm pretty

good at being able to call What's what is good

and what's not Mm -hmm now I'm not to the point

where I can actually review a television show

mainly because I don't know how to I don't feel

that I'm qualified to write a review But I can

definitely talk about a TV show Case in point

When the Walking Dead first started airing I

was at like five years ago now four years ago.

I Think it was about four. Yeah when it when

it first started airing I remember all my friends

who had read the comic they were like super excited

for it They were like, oh, this is gonna be great.

It's gonna be awesome. It's the Walking Dead

It's coming to TV and it's made by Frank Frank

Darabont and I had never read the comic I will

admit to that at that time. I had never read

the comic and Sat down and you know watch the

first episode like you know millions of other

people did and when it was over I went on Facebook,

and I was like this This is not good television

This is not you know this is not great And I

remember all my friends that were walking dead

fans were just like blasting me and I remember

one person thought it was insulting It was insulting

my ability to they tried insulting my ability

to offer judgment on something by saying that

I enjoyed Wolverine origins Let me preface this

by saying I enjoyed Wolverine origins for what

it was which was basically a Sunday Sunday comic

strip version of Wolverine It was very cheesy

very hokey laughable and I did not in any way

shape or form take it seriously But they thought

they were offending me but what was really funny

is I kept watching the series because everyone

else was watching the series and I kept watching

it get worse and worse and worse through the

through the first season and by the end of season

one Everyone that was mad at me for saying it

was bad TV was also now saying it was a now was

also now saying it was a bad TV show I Was like

I told you guys this from the first episode And

just so that I could offer some kind of judgment

on on the series I actually started reading the

graphic novel and Yeah, that first season was

a mess compared to the graphic novel I still

have having read as much of the graphic novel

as I have there are still issues that I take

with The Walking Dead only because I wish they

would have done something different with it Which

was just told a different story in that universe

rather than trying to retell the comic on the

TV Which I think would have made for more compelling

television, but whatever we got what we got and

it's Diverted itself enough to where it actually

is interesting now So that would be another series

that was a trainwreck to begin with and I stuck

with it to see where we go and Slowly it became

a TV show that I actually have to pay attention

to so That's enough of me talking I watch quite

a few different shows, but I'm kind of of the

opinion I have to keep up with them every week.

More so because it's one of those OCD things

that I don't like getting behind, and if I get

behind a week, that's as much as I'll let myself

get behind because I'll also torrent them if

I get behind. Mostly because I don't want to

sit there through commercials on the on -demand

and it'll play the same. It's not even that it

plays commercials. It's that it plays the same

three every commercial break. So it bothers me

that and usually I'm trying to blitz through

shows and I don't really want to sit through

an extra 20 minutes of commercials. So I actually

download them all to a flash drive and put them

on my Blu -ray player so that I can watch them

and mass, but I watch. My wife's got me into

the tomorrow people. It's decent. It's decent.

It's decent. I can't knock it. I like it. Arrows

still getting darker and better as it goes along.

Continuum has upgraded their CG work and some

of the revelations that have gone on in the show

are amazing. in the time paradoxes. As well as

they got rid of the intro of her stating her

mission and everything. It's an actual intro.

Oh, yeah. So I was quite happy about that. I

was like, yeah, they're not going to explain

anything. You know, just get rid of the show,

which is great. Unlike Arrow and Tomorrow people

where they say their name and then give the gist

of the show, which I hope they change next season.

Agents of Shield is actually ramping up pretty

good especially with the latest one won't talk

about it this week because you haven't seen it

yet, but it Definitely ties into Captain America

2 Plus I feel that it'd be unfair to talk about

both when some people may not have seen it yet

See Agents of Shield is a really weird show for

me. I It's hit or miss for me. It's it's i want

to say if i had a third category that was somewhere

between a trainwreck and must watch television

shield would be in that category um but i don't

have a category like that so um it's definitely

in the train wreck category okay um just because

i can't i don't know how to feel about it I want

to really like it But it's one of those shows

where I almost feel like it's set up to fail

because it's playing off the film so bad And

that's one that that's one of the reasons why

I knock it like I don't I don't knock the idea

of it Like I love the idea of the show. I like

what they want to do with this show I don't feel

like the show is delivering on what they want

to do do with it But at the same time I also

kind of have to blast the show For one of the

same reason and I and I brought this up when

I was talking to my friends on Facebook today

I have to blast shield for the same reason that

I blasted heroes Which is that heroes had a lot

of outside? Sources like there was an ongoing

comic book that was going on with heroes that

would introduce characters And they would show

up in the TV show for like one thing and then

they would disappear forever like it would just

be like a cameo from the comic book jumping onto

the screen, which is kind of what Agents of S

.H .I .E .L .D. does, only it's a cameo going

from the silver screen down to the small screen.

And it directly plays on... Agents of S .H .I

.E .L .D. directly plays on events that take

place in the films, and that's fine, but does

that make it a good TV show? Like, as a series

by itself, is S .H .I .E .L .D. still good? from

an episode to episode with if you don't, if you

have not seen those movies or does it end up

being like one of those things where the transitions

are so jarring that you don't know what happened

unless you watch the movies? Well, like I watched

last week's episode and jumping into the beginning

of this week's episode, it was kind of off putting

because it was all of a sudden progressed a little

bit of time. Like. It was I can't really explain

it. It's kind of weird how they transition to

do it. So I was kind of It directly takes place

during part of the events of Captain America

2. So it doesn't pick up with the Last week's

episode ended with their jet being like hijacked

and turned in the direction and flying off in

another direction Okay. Yeah, it does do that.

I maybe I missed the last minute of it then okay

So that's why I was a little confused. So it

does pick up from there, then? Yes. OK. But I

feel the entire episode is difficult to kind

of understand unless you've seen Captain America

2. And see, that's like the thing. And that's

what I was saying about the series. When I sit

down and I watch the TV show, I try to take Agents

of S .H .I .E .L .D. By itself and when I say

like it's it's okay or it's mediocre. That's

because it is mediocre television. It's not It's

it but in the grand scheme of things, it's great,

but it's it's just not good television Well,

they just said last night's there. Yeah last

night's episode because this is recorded on Wednesday

It was the lowest rated episode of the season

which is surprising Really because I think the

ratings have been going down Yeah, well the thing

is is I feel like this has been one of the better

episodes of the season only for the fact that

If you add the knowledge of Captain America 2

in there Yes, they reference it in a couple points

during the episode they two key incidents that

happen during the film they reference that are

quite important in the film anyway and It goes

on from there. And then they have one of the

classic Marvel twists at the end, which I saw

this coming. I'm not going to get into any kind

of detail because I don't want to spoil it for

anybody. But there's an event that takes place

at the very end that I saw coming three episodes

back. Well, I'm interested to see what that is.

because there's some character portrayal changes.

About two to three episodes back that, oh, yeah,

OK, make it obvious of what's going to happen.

That's all I'm going to say on the subject. So

but it's it was interesting to say the least,

and it is a game changer. So I really don't know

where they're going to go from this. And I don't

know if it's going to have any legs to stand

on for another season being that. See that's

where that's what I was gonna get to is oddly

enough There has not been a second season renewal

for this show yet And they're almost done with

the season and I can't 17 and I honestly thought

that This show I remember when this show started,

you know, we were on here talking about it And

I made the comments that this show will coast

by because it's a Disney show on a Disney owned

network being funded by the cash cow. That is

the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Yet there is no.

It has not been renewed for a second season.

And I have a theory on it, though, but I'll wait

till you're done. You think they're going to

change the name? No, I don't. Actually, I think.

And I think it's going to tie into comics. And

this is why. I'm just going to insert a quick

spoiler alert here for anybody. So fast forward

like two minutes. I think that agent or I think

Director Fury is going to create a new shield

from the ashes of the old shield based on the

events that happened in Captain America 2. That

the fact that he goes to New York. For kind of

a spy mission which leads me to believe that

he's going to try and create a new base of operation

and be the head of it not and have like a more

close -knit group like he does in the the comic

and animation series And then still have Hill

and Coulson and people like that kind of close

but not not be worldwide shield Okay, the only

and the other thing that makes me think that

is they've already confirmed agent Maria Hill

and Director Fury to be cameos or actually guest

stars for a couple episodes for the remainder

of the season. Right. I just I don't know. I

I think Fury is supposed to be in the last episode

of the season, which makes me think that even

more. And I think that Agent Hill is supposed

to be in the rest of the season or from like

20 on or something or or. 18 on or something

like that Well, it'll be interesting to see to

see what happens I I mean I'm kind of one part

of me is like rooting for it especially if this

episode this most recent episode is good as everyone

says it is but I'm still Even if it's good. Here's

the thing. I've seen Captain America 2 So if

it's good, it's probably gonna be good because

I know what's going on Yeah, I didn't go to the

movie then I wouldn't really know like that's

that's part of the treat with these movies, right?

You go you go in and they drop each Drags like

hints nods all this stuff here and there and

I feel like like this episode was so good Because

it got to reference something I mean they referenced

for two in an earlier episode, but that didn't

get anywhere near like the buzz I mean, they

were like they're around zero cleaning stuff

up so I think that because that episode didn't

really Do anything it didn't really do anything,

and it didn't really impact based on the fact

that The film I mean it didn't really pull any

pertinent information from the film whereas.

I feel like this episode that came out This week

was so this is a heavily playing on events in

Captain America 2 it takes place during I would

say the middle of the movie on Through to the

very end of the movie okay, so this is a bigger

deal because it's it's basically running side

-by -side with with the movies it's directly

running parallel with the film I just Don't know.

We'll see what happens. Like I said, I like the

idea. I like what they're doing I just I when

I look at this when I look at the show I take

it as a show and it's I It's not good television

But it doesn't mean I don't enjoy it. I'm just

saying it's not good television. No, I agree

with you, but And then of course I watch are

you done with that or no, I'm sorry. You're fine.

Go ahead And then I was going to say that, of

course, you know, I watched Supernatural, Big

Bang Theory. Big Bang Theory is just one of those

guilty pleasure shows. It's not that it's like

superbly greatly written. It's it's you know,

and it's got the canned laughter, which canned

laughter always bothers me. But then I also miss

it. It's not there. Be careful. We might get

blasted in the comments because isn't that show

filmed in front of a live studio audience? I

don't know. I don't think so. I don't think it

actually. Don't think it actually says that it's

filmed in front of usually they do when they

are I Just want to make sure that it's I me personally

I don't care therefore the laugh track and I

don't care for the I I don't care anytime I can

hear laughter Because I feel like that's telling

me when to laugh and if I'm not laughing myself.

You're just not funny enough so I I enjoy it

to some degree just because I miss it being there

when it's not there but then sometimes it's annoying

when they play them too close together. But I

also can't stand having dead silence like they're

expecting. I can't stand shows that are pretty

much everything that's on sitcom -wise right

now that they don't have any kind of background

sound. It's just them talking and then it's dead

silence. a while. It's kind of one of those,

I'm kind of on both edges of the sword there.

Then of course I watch Continuum and I watch

Blacklist, which that one I try and usually get

one to two episodes, maybe three, and then I

marathon through those and then I go back and

do it again. I'll say this for Mike. It was on

the chopping block like two weeks ago It has

a state of execution depending on how things

go between now and the end of the season Because

I don't I don't the main character still bothers

me But it seems like they may be taking steps

to pull her out of that rut like I don't like

the characterization of her I think they are

changing it quite a bit though And that's fine.

But then again, this is another good interpretation

of a train wreck show. Blacklist, outside of

Spader's performances and everyone around the

female lead and her husband, they were great

performances, but that show was being dragged

down by the characterization of the female lead

and her dumbass husband. And it was like a ball

and chain around the neck of that show. And I

agree and it they've taken major steps in the

last two or three episodes to fix that but it

was definitely a train wreck show on on the verge

of getting just dropped and They've they've changed

it. So it's got a state of execution depending

on how things get wrapped up. So I Have high

hopes for it anyway Regardless, I have higher

hopes for that than I do agents of shield at

the moment only because I want to really like

the show But it's like I like we both said that

I don't know how much further they can take it

being and the events that have taken place Mm

-hmm. So, I mean I could see them trying but

I see more potential in arrow than I do with

that at this point especially with them bringing

in various Batman rogues and various arrow rogues

and Arrow seems more willing to draw from The

comics well the yeah the the the actual roster

of heroes that people know and can recognize

whereas shield seems like They have to obviously

death lock is not a made -up character but it

seems like they have to Invent a character or

take the long way around to get to characters

You know as like as when they have to bring a

movie cameo in yeah, or like you know it took

them The lead to death lock was really long and

unnecessary I Mean it started with events in

like the first episode Isn't that right? Because

that guy death lock was in episode one. Yes It

was in the first episode. That's just such a

long lead to get to what is, you know, a very

C -list character and everybody else outside

of like Nick Fury or name -dropping someone on

the silver screen. Everything is like, there

are no superheroes in that movie, in that show.

Like everyone on the... In the in that group

and in the main group is all made up for that

show. And yes There are some great characters

in fits and simmons, but you know, the only superhero

that we have The only comic character you actually

have dedicated to that show right now is death

lock like Yeah, everybody else is made up. I

mean and yeah fury shows up every once in a while

They named drop hill, but they're not in the

show. So I don't know but that's what i'm saying

like arrow seems more willing to actually name

drop either by Revealing their real name and

letting people figure out who they are like Solomon

Grundy or by Just calling them what they are,

you know deathstroke So And I applaud them for

that yeah, they at least are willing to push

the envelope So I think we've taken that conversation

as far as it can go So do we want to get into

some feedback or questions um Well, let's see

well, what kind of feedback do we have? Let's

see we have a few. I mean you already touched

on the the TV show roster Yeah, yeah, there's

some about the car conversations Well, I mean

I I'm still tinkering with my car trying to figure

out like like when we When we got on the night,

I said that I was trying to find the best way

to play music in the car. Obviously, there's

a radio, there's a CD player, there's XM. What

I'm focusing on really is the USB port that's

in there for getting audio into the car. You

can load up a thumb drive with all your music.

You can plug it in there and the car will index

it and stuff like that. The problem I ran into

Is when you put music on a thumb drive and you

stick it in the car and it indexes it it It throws

out While it will label everything by artists

and album and stuff like that as long as the

metadata is there it throws out the CD order

Yep, and puts everything on alphabetically and

I did not like that So what I did is I went and

bought a iPod Classic yesterday because you can

actually plug the iPod in it and it will preserve

your playlists and the play order of the CDs.

And you can control it from the iPad or iPod?

Well I can control it from the car. Actually

what's really weird is if I plug it in I lose

control of the iPod. I have to control the iPod

from the car. That's if I plug it in with you

through the USB port if I use the auxiliary input

jack then yes I can control it from the iPod

Okay, but I don't really want to do that. I would

rather just you know control it through the car

controls and stuff like that but what I noticed

is that and I'm in the process of doing some

testing the iPod Classic whenever I turn the

car off and I turn it on it re indexes all 8

,000 songs. It will do that even on a flash drive.

Well, because my wife's car, she has the Chevy

Sonic and it has a USB port in the glove box

and I loaded up all of her music on this flash

drive and plugged it in and it'll re -index every

time. Not quite to the capacity that a MP3 player

would, but it still does. I understand that it

might need to re -index, but when my entire drive

to and from work, it takes probably 15, 20 minutes

to index the iPod. That's ridiculous. What I

did is I put about a thousand songs on my iPhone

and went and plugged it in and it shows up, obviously

it shows up as an iPod on the dashboard and it

indexed almost immediately. Probably by the time

this first song was done playing it had indexed

everything on the iPod granted. That's a thousand

songs versus You know 8 ,000 mm -hmm so I brought

in my iPod classic and I redid I I dwindled it

down to about a thousand songs or 1 ,500 songs

if you will and I took it back out and I plugged

it back into the car or and still slow as anything

like Think it has something to do with it being

And I'm gonna test this when we're done doing

the podcast The iPod classic is a hundred and

sixty gigabyte traditional hard drive Okay, so,

you know, it's got like the platters in it. So

it's kind of slow And obviously the iPhone is

flash based memory, so I'm wondering if it has

to do with the hard drive in the two different

In the iphone and the ipod. So what I did is

I loaded up 2 ,500 songs on my ipad And i'm gonna

plug that in and see how responsive it is i'm

pretty sure because it's flash based That it'll

do it almost instantaneously because my wife's

does within Within a minute. I think she's got

two to three thousand songs on her flash drive

Yeah, well before I got before I went about the

ipod classic. I bought a 64 gigabyte thumb drive

Mm -hmm and because they're on sale on Amazon

for like 30 bucks nice and I threw all of my

songs on there and it indexed it like within

two songs and Then it would it never I it would

say indexing when I turned it on I turned the

car on but it would It would never take as long

to index that time Like as it does like the first

time you put the drive in So it has to do it

has to be something to do with it being a traditional

like spinning hard drive and like it's really

weird like playlist information like I have like

a hundred and fifteen playlists on my computer

and You try to look at that on the car and you

scroll down and eventually it stops listing playlists

But you can still select it and you can dig into

it and then when you back out It'll show you

like five playlists above it and five playlists

below it But if you scroll outside of that all

of a sudden the playlist spots the name where

the names would be are empty again So it's got

to be something to do with with it just being

an iPod classic and if that's the case I'll return

the iPod classic and I'll just grab I'll buy

an iPod touch for my car Yeah, which sounds excessive,

but I love my playlists If you got something

you like like that, I mean it's kind of hard

to go from that to not having any order to how

you like things listen to I mean, I like I like

the idea of having all my music in my car Even

if I don't listen to all of it and I like the

idea of being able to bring all my playlists

with me I mean, that's why you make the playlist,

right? Yeah, so and I don't have a six disc changer

in my car like I did before and yes The cheapest

way would be the $30 You know 64 gigabyte thumb

drive with all my music on it But like I said,

I like to listen to cds in the order that they

were recorded and not alphabetically Yeah, they

do kind of sound strange if you do it So that's

what i'm that's what i'm that's what i'm trying

to get you get back to and that's that's my update

on my car My car doesn't do any of that magic

I have to burn a mp3 cd I don't even know my

car will play mp3 cds most of them will Most

of them have mp3 CD capabilities built into them

now Okay, some of them were hit or miss until

about 2012 and then they started kind of mass

putting them in cars Basically as they've made

the newer body styles of anything. They've pretty

much got that capability My wife's car does it

too. And she also has auxiliary plus she has

USB. So it's kind of a She has many options and

I don't I was going to say, I mean, the car has

like every input under the sun. It's just I've

never had an MP3. It doesn't like nowhere in

it does it say like MP3 CD. Like it's just one

of those things where it's like it doesn't say

at some kind of like, does it do it? Because,

you know, it tells me it does everything else.

But I but then again, if I can get this working

the right way, then I have no reason to burn

CDs. So yeah. Well, plus you can only fit so

much on a CD. Which I unfortunately have to I've

been meaning to burn a new one. So I I pretty

much put video game music and TV show themes

and Stuff like that on my my CDs Mostly because

I enjoy it more than I do listen to regular CDs

once in a while I'll put a regular one in but

most the time that's what I listen to right plus

it's it helps when I drive because I Certain

songs make or themes make me drive certain ways

you just rage out Yeah, well like especially

listening to things like Sonic the Hedgehog or

something like that and then it's it's Like,

you know hit the gas careful because you know

you run into something gold grains. They're gonna

come shooting out of your car No, I know exhaust

and explosions will But um So I think moving

to something slightly car related Caleb Browning

says he tended to drive really fast when he first

started driving and after a few tickets and nearly

losing his license he finally slowed down Now

looking back he realizes how dumb it was And

then he says I'm sure my control of the car was

a lot more limited than I was willing to admit

Yeah, I've gotten in numerous issues at that

Had six tickets that one like within a couple

years span like two years span Wow, yeah funny

thing is four of them were for speeding one was

an improper turn and one of them was because

I totaled out my stepmom's car I've gotten in

proper turns twice. I've gotten pulled over for

improper turns twice. Well mostly for not using

my blinker I've been pulled over not using my

blinker twice, but I didn't get a ticket either

time One because I got I was it was like one

was like two o 'clock in the morning and I was

in a left -hand turn lane and I just you know

I stopped like I was supposed it was it was that

you know where this is there's a Perry and Saginaw

Road Okay, and I was in the left -hand turn lane

getting ready to turn onto Perry from Saginaw

And it was like flashing red cuz it was like

two o 'clock in the morning So I I stopped at

the light like I was supposed to and I just went

and there was a cop waiting in He was either

in the gas station right there on the corner

or he was down by like the donut shop. Haha funny

Yeah But he pulled he pulled me over and he's

like why weren't you using your blinker and I

was like Because it's two o 'clock in the morning

and there's no one on the road and you know,

he went ran everything and came back and You

know, he didn't give me a ticket. He's like well

just blah blah blah blah blah this that and the

other thing and another time I was on it was

again it was on Perry Road and I was turning

into Bell Vista and It was again. It was it was

late at night. Not a lot of cars. I I don't use

my blinker Unless there was a car behind me if

there is a car behind me. I will use my blinker

to tell them what I'm doing But if I know that

I am like the appropriate car length away from

somebody and I need to like merge into traffic

or whatnot And I know that I'm not gonna cause

them to slow down I won't I I just out of habit.

I just don't use my blinker I don't know why

it's just always been that way anyways long story

short I turned into Bellevista made a right -hand

turn into Bellevista which Off of Perry Road

and in this part of Perry Road. It's like four

lanes wide And so I turned into Bella Vista and

almost immediately as I pulled into the subdivision,

the lights popped on behind me. And I was like,

are you kidding me? So I stopped and he pulled

me over and he's like, hey, again, he's like,

why didn't you use your blinker? This wasn't

the same night or anything like that. This was

like months apart. He's like, why didn't you

use your blinker? I said, because you weren't

right behind me. And I got off on that one, too.

That's surprising. I have found that they they

like it when you can either make them laugh or

you or they can easily tell that you were telling

the truth. Yeah, just being straight up with

them about what I was doing like both times.

It is it's probably what got what what got me

out of the whole situation. There have been some

other really I've had some other really great

run ins with the cops, too. But maybe we can

save those for another time. Yeah, I'm not getting

into my six, but I've been pulled over. I think

five other times that I did not get a ticket.

Yes, that's a record of 11 times. One of them,

they didn't have to pull me over because I had

a car that was on the side of the road. So. Can

you step out of the vehicle? I'm already out

of the vehicle. But one of them was because I

had this 89 S15 truck and I was driving from

Fenton area back with. my girlfriend now wife

and I had the oldest vehicle on the road and

a state trooper pulled us over and His reasoning

was and he was standing looking through my wife's

window and she's sitting here like trying not

to laugh and I'm sitting here going shut up.

I've had three tickets already. I don't need

another one and He says do you know why I pulled

you over and I'm like no not really and he says

Well, it's that air freshener there hanging from

your window and I'm like, you gotta be fucking

shitting me. He pulled me over for an air freshener.

He's like, that's obstructing your view. And

I says, I can see around it. And then he's sitting

here and he's just like leaning in the window

and Mary is sitting here laughing at this point.

And the guy ended up letting us off. But I said,

what the hell were you laughing about? She's

like, his breath stunk something terrible. And

he's sitting here breathing on me. and There

was I've been pulled over twice on Perry Road

Which is hilarious When I lived out in Grand

Blank and I was heading home from Little Caesars

Back when I did that couple years ago It was

it's like 12 o 'clock 12 30 at night close to

1 so I'm driving home One of the times, I realized

I was getting too close to a car in front of

me. So, of course, naturally, I slowed down.

Well, a cop pulled me over after that because

he says, due to why I pulled you over, and I

says, I was going a little over the speed limit.

He's like, yeah, you're getting too close to

that car. And I said, well, I noticed I was getting

too close. So I started slowing myself down.

And then he ended up letting me off. And the

other one was another cop that was literally

a block from where I lived. I looked, it's a

four -way blinking red light. No one's out here.

I slowed down, I stopped, and I did like a rolling

stop around the corner. And then so he pulls

me over for that and he's like, do you know why

I pulled you over? And I says, not really. Where

do you live? Right there. And he's like, how

long you live there? I'm like, over a year. And

so he ended up sitting there and he's like you

could have hit somebody blah blah blah, and I'm

like there's nobody out at 1230 at night I'm

like and I'm pretty sure I would have seen him

because the lights and he just ended up BS with

me for 10 minutes So how you like it in there

blah blah blah like and I'm like dude. I just

want to go to bed oh man what one summer I got

I was on my way home, and I lived in Belvista

and Perry Road was under construction and People

were cutting through Bellevista and Kirkridge

to get around the construction. Okay, and I you

know, I lived off of I lived off of one of the

the main streets going through Bellevista So

I and I Bellevista is a bunch of four -way stops

in there And I, living in there, I never stop

at the four -way stops. I treat them like they're

yields, I do rolling stops, you know, never been

in an accident, never caused an accident, never

nothing. And one night, I was coming home and

I'm not sure if you're familiar with that subdivision

or not, but I, it was like Francesca and Bautel,

I did a rolling stop through that intersection.

I remember looking left and right and when I

looked down the left There was a car that was

kind of sitting off to the side of the road that

normally isn't there like at that time of night

Yeah, and you know I so I did my stupid rolling

stop and you know cuz the car the lights that

on the car weren't on and it wasn't moving or

anything so I did my rolling stop and I kept

going it was one more street until I was home

and Sure enough the lights came on behind me

and I ended up like my car was like half in my

driveway and half out of my driveway And you

know the cop did the whole thing you know I pulled

you over blah blah blah blah blah I said I'm

home for the evening does this really need to

be a thing and unfortunately he did give me a

ticket for that and Only and he was only sitting

there because people were cutting through the

subdivision because of the construction So it

was like a good way to catch people you know

doing the rolling stops. That's crap and well

Long story short the next summer my friends,

and I were hanging out in front of Pet Supplies

Plus right there in downtown Grand Blanc. And

it was like 2 o 'clock in the morning. We're

just hanging out eating Taco Bell and a cop car

drove down Saginaw Street and I waved at him

and all my friends were like, what are you doing?

You're going to make him come in here and he's

going to like make us leave and everything. And

I waved and the cop like the cop did pull into

the parking lot. And he like he BS with us for

like the next hour and a half, just like hanging

out in the parking lot. And one of the things

we ended up having him do was we had him run

our licenses. Just to see what you know would

pop up And granted none of us had any warrants

out for our arrests We weren't really worried

about him hauling us in and he's not gonna take

us in for anything that had happened, you know

and It was really funny because he he he ran

my license and he saw that rolling stop in Bella

Vista He goes were you were you in a red convertible?

And I was like, yeah, and he goes I think I'm

the one that pulled you over And I was like,

I was like, seriously, why did you give me that

ticket? I was home. I was off the road. Everything

was fine. And he goes, do you stop at the stop

signs? I said, no. He goes, then it doesn't matter.

Wow. I have fun. I have fun with cops. I've never

honestly had a. Bad experience with a police

officer mainly because anytime I've been pulled

over whether I've gotten the ticket or not Anytime

I've been pulled over. I know why I've been pulled

over like It's like I know I was either like

driving too fast or I did a rolling stop or I

didn't use my blinker like I've always known

What it was that I got pulled over for so it

wasn't like I never felt like I was being targeted

or harassed Yeah, I've always been pulled over

for legitimate reasons. It's They're just actually

yeah, yeah But nothing that makes me go, I hate

the police. No, I mean, I can't fault them. They're

doing their job. So I mean, whatever. I got pulled

over twice at work, which prompted a event for

me happening at work. Once I was driving to the

Flint auto auction. To dump off a car. Got pulled

off or pulled over on my way back from the auto

auction. And this cop followed me about two,

three miles, just kind of just rode behind me,

waited till I got off the expressway and I got

extremely close to the dealership. I'm literally

a block away and he pulls me over. Do you know

why I pulled you over? No, not really. And I

kind of knew, but I didn't really want to voice

it because I would have gotten a ticket and the

dealership doesn't pay for tickets. It was because

I didn't have a license plate. But they never

assigned me one So I knew damn well that if They

gave me a ticket the dealership would not cover

it despite them not handing me my own plate Mm

-hmm, so I played bullshit with him which I learned

from us a mechanic that used to work there years

ago and He says you didn't have a license plate

on the back and I says I don't I says I I slapped

one of those magnetic ones on the back and he

says it's not there and I said son of a bitch

and then I made it like into a big production

and he says where you headed and I says the dealership

right there and he's like make sure you get a

plate or get somebody to go out and find it and

I said okay and then I pulled into the dealership

let him know and then about eight months ago

I got pulled over at the dealership again It

was a rainy, rainy day and we were dropping a

vehicle off at this speedometer place that converts

it from Canadian to American. And I pulled. I

was coming back from there and I knew I knew

when I turned this corner that this cop was going

to nail me because we were bringing this raggedy

Malibu back from there and. he gets me and I'm

nowhere near the dealership at this point and

He gets out he's in his raincoat getting down

poured on and I'm sitting there in this nice

car like not It's it's a dirty car, but it's

not it's not outside No, and he sits there and

I give him the stuff, you know From the dealership

and everything and he's he's like, do you know

why I pulled you over and I said no plate and

he's like, yeah I said, yeah, my boss was supposed

to be following behind me because they didn't

give me a plate. I said, but it turns out I lost

him because he turned a different direction.

And I said, if you'd like, I can dial up him

on my phone right now and you can talk to him.

No, no, no, that's all right. Blah, blah, blah.

And here's your stuff. Just get there as soon

as you can. Make sure you come out with a plate

next time. So I told them I said, I'm not driving

anymore damn car until I get a plate. So they

gave me my own plate. So good deal. But yeah,

so I could beat that with a dead horse I'm gonna

save some of mine so that when we get listener

feedback we have something to talk about oh Don't

worry. I'm sure I have something else. I I've

forgotten to mention but So we have two questions

one from Facebook one from Twitter That I put

a call out for earlier today, and we're not trying

to step on MWR's feet here No, not at all No,

not at all So you have any particular one pulled

up I have both I mean you can bring up whichever

one piques your interest more Well, I think the

I think Ryan Cox's Question will be a little

easier to answer. I think He says With Captain

America 3 being on the same date as the Batman

Superman movie will DC move it again? Interesting

enough. I just read an article regarding this

I Think it was yesterday is on slash film about

you know, obviously two big movies having that

same date in May No, they one of them will move

obviously Captain America 3 especially after

the reception that Captain America 2 has gotten

Is a major contender to hold off Batman versus

Superman at the box office But the bottom bottom

line is neither studio wants to run the risk

of Like not getting ticket sales to the other

one And they're both going to be huge movies

As far as I know the stuff that was shot for

Batman versus Superman the early stuff that was

shot has been scrapped So basically they're starting

from zero cap 3 doesn't even really have a script.

It just has an outline There are so many things

are gonna happen between now and May of 2016

that you know, one of them will end up being

delayed Which one do I think will move? Think

it's gonna be water brothers. I think that the

Marvel juggernaut It cannot I mean granted Batman's

your man is gonna have the look in audience because

They're gonna want to see Ben Affleck is Batman

say what you want about Ben Affleck is Batman

people are gonna want to see how good or bad

he does But the Marvel movies are juggernauts

and Cap 3 is going to be huge That year So I

don't it's gonna be Batman versus Superman that

gets moved Because Marvel seems to have a handle

on things that once they get the ball rolling

like production wise They're actually able to

hit their dates. Whereas It the Batman's Superman

movie is just a mess Well, it's not only a mess

because they keep adding stuff to it But they

also keep moving it and now they've decided that

because they're doing a Wonder Woman movie now

Fast -tracking it for 2015 So that they can give

her a proper introduction before she hits Batman

Superman See, I can't I won't I won't ban the

Wonder Woman movie. Oh, this is the first I've

heard of it for 2015 I won't pan that one for

the simple fact the same thing happened with

Captain America and Thor They were both fast

-tracked movies and it was painfully obvious

that they were fast -tracked They're both fast

tracks so they could hit before Avengers. So

I mean and Warner Brothers tends to put a little

better production value on their stuff than Marvel

does Yeah, they do but it's it's also like you

said they they kind of They drop the ball when

it comes to just getting it out, right? Marvel

sets that date and it's concrete for the most

part there. They're you know, that's that's what

it is and they're gonna get it out For better

or worse. That's what it is. Yeah for better

or worse whereas DC or Warner Brothers tends

to if they need to they'll postpone it Which

again is either direction. So what do you what

do you think? You think it's gonna be cap 3 or

you think it's gonna be Batman Superman that

flinches? I think Batman Superman will get pushed

towards closer to the end of the year. Maybe

maybe an August release or late July release

Oh, I don't think it's good. I don't think it's

gonna come out as soon as they think it will

okay So then there's the other question Brad

mole from the fan page says after seeing the

TMNT teaser I was slightly hopeful for the movie.

However, now knowing that Johnny Knoxville has

been cast as Leo's voice Expectations have dropped

back to zero I guess my question is what movies

were you super excited about until you heard

a casting headline and no Batman vs Superman

is not included. Okay now Have a question for

you on this one Steve regarding the first half

of his question regarding Johnny Knoxville being

cast as the voice of Leo Being a guy that you

know is big on the voice acting stuff When you

think about this if you take Johnny Knox obviously

Johnny Knoxville is known for a jackass and for

being a jackass exactly But at the same time

he's lending a voice. Like. What do you I mean,

if you look at it that way, if it's him lending

a voice, I mean, there are lots of voice actors

who don't look like the role that they're playing

or that probably don't act like the role that

they're playing. It seems I think it's weird

because it's I think it's weird that I think

it think people are lashing out because it's

a name. It's a known name for a guy who makes

up makes a living out of being a moron Playing

the leader of the turtles Well, I'm gonna play

a little bit devil's advocate and my own personal

opinion my personal opinion I'd like to see them

port over the voice actors from the TMNT 2012

cartoon Okay, because I think that they could

do just as fine a job in the live -action world

as they can in the animated pretty much also

because they all tend to sound very similar anyhow.

The other side of the coin is, look at how much

backlash there's been about Jesse Eisenberg as

Lex Luthor or Ben Affleck as Batman or stuff

like that. You have Jason Biggs and the guy that

was in American Pie movies playing Leonardo on

the Animated version. Yeah, so I mean I kind

of can see the direction they're going in with

Johnny Knoxville playing Leo because they're

taking the the polar opposite the the guy that

you'd think would be the Prankster role and putting

him in the the leadership one plus I think his

voice would lend well to Leo Because he's not

gonna they're gonna rain him back. Anyway, he's

gonna be acting the character of Leo not being

an ass Yeah, well, we haven't even heard it.

We haven't even heard his voice as Leo Like will

it even be Knoxville or will it be like just

him doing a voice for Leo? That's that's what

I'm Interested in I think it'll be him being

a voice for Leo I don't think I mean, I'm sure

he'll throw a quick quip in here here there because

writers tend to do that for the actors purposes

But I think that he'll be pretty much straight

arrowed with it, and I think he'll do fine. I

mean, his voice range, I could see him playing

Leo more than any of the other Turtles. What

scares me about this, and it's not his voice,

it's not the look of the Turtles, we've talked

about this, I'm very interested in seeing this

movie. What worries me about this news is that

it's I thought that the actors that were playing

them in the motion capture suits would be the

one supplying the voice work and Obviously that

is not the case. So I'm kind of wondering how

long like if this is just getting out that Knoxville

is doing the voice of Leo. I'm almost more worried

that they're going to be dubbing lines Like over

like they're gonna be dubbing the lines over

the lip movements rather than Like recording

the actors saying the line and then doing You

know saying it could be the reverse though because

how typically Normal CG animation is is usually

they get the voice first and then they they do

the lip movements to the voice But that's what

I'm saying if we're hearing about this so late

in the game I think they're leaking at this late

on purpose knowing the backlash that's gonna

be in it Okay, because it's gonna drive publicity

towards it because I mean it's still coming out

what July I Thought was August. Maybe it's August.

I I forget sometimes they're all starting to

run together now that I just feel like that's

not enough time I mean I could be really right

and I just feel like that's not enough time to

Mote motion capture that you know get it right.

I I think that I I want to say that this is probably

Just leaked on purpose at this point I think

that it's been probably done because usually

when they have people doing the voiceover for

stuff It's they usually get them pretty early

on like when they first start building the CG

models When did this news come out because for

some reason I feel like this is a really elaborate

April Fool's joke You know what I don't know

I know it was last week I know it wasn't this

week. I know it was sometime last week because

they talked about it on MWare Weekly. I'm really

wondering. I'm wondering if that's total bullshit.

Because they've got Tony, was it Tony Shalhoub

as Splinter? Yeah, well, and there was rumors

today about some other guy playing the voice

of Splinter and there was a conflict of interest.

I thought it was Tony Shalhoub was playing Splinter.

Well, he is, according to the article. There's

also now an article that came out today, I guess,

about some guy that was supposed to be originally

playing the voice of Splinter, and then Shalhoub

was the one that got it after that. I'm wondering

if this couldn't be some elaborate April Fool's

joke. Someone should chase that down and find

out when this news hit the internet. Doesn't

seem right this seems like one of those things

where you end up with like Justin Bieber holding

a script for Batman Superman teasing that he's

gonna be Robin Yeah, cuz they said Seinfeld actor

was replaced as voice of Master Splinter that

came out a day ago See I'm not I'm I'm I'm okay

with him with Johnny Knox will supplying the

voice for Leo Again, these are just voices. It's

not like you're gonna see Them I'm more I'm just

kind of bummed out. It's looking like it came

out It looks like it came out the third So it's

probably legitimate Well, that's a bummer. Well,

I mean, I don't want to say that's a bummer I

just like I said, it's it's just a voice and

we'll see what we'll see what happens because

People can do like you've even got Sean asked

in Is the voice of Raph and he was like Rudy

and the guy from Hobbit. I can't remember his

name in the Hobbit Sam wise. Yeah, Sam wise.

There's no way Sam wise could be Raphael Yeah,

I mean a good job and I think people forget and

myself included that they're actors Mm -hmm.

They're they're able to manipulate where you

think that they probably can't let's not forget

them Sorry, I was gonna say more often than not

They prove us wrong Yeah, he fudger says hi Yeah

from beyond the grave. I mean that's like but

that's like the gold standard, right? That's

that's the wall where everyone's like And that's

like kind of like and then he just like slapped

everyone in the face But I'm not saying giant

I felt not giant actuals gonna pull the same

thing, but it's like just wait just wait So especially

since the only one we've heard talk in the trailer

was Mikey Yeah, and they have no confirmation

on who's playing that character yet I wouldn't

be surprised as if the voice they used was the

voice of the guy Like in the suit. Yeah, so if

anything I feel bad for those guys Yeah, I mean

I hope that they yeah, I mean as much as my fanboy

isms come out I Hope that nobody gets screwed

on the whole thing So the second part of the

question Okay, the second part of the question

is What movies were you super excited about until

you heard a casting headline and no Batman or

Superman? Super excited until I heard about a

headline I I don't know when it happened I started

paying more attention to who's writing and directing

a movie rather than who's starring in it and

I know that there was a movie that made me just

go Yeah, that's it because that's that's the

way that I need to look at it because certain

directors can coax different things out of actors

and one of the examples I like to make is with

Hayden Christensen Who you know, anyone that

doesn't know he was Anakin Skywalker. Yeah. Well,

he was Anakin Skywalker So it's one two and three

and if you subscribe to that thing, he was also

in episode six He was awful in those movies and

I Really enjoyed him in jumper. Oh I agree and

That that was one of those things where it's

like it's not the guy it's it's the director

like I feel like a good director Or like a good

writer or like the or like the combo of the two

can get the performance They can get the right

performance And so I don't really pay attention

to it's not so much the casting stuff Which is

why like I never really worried about Christopher

Nolan movie Like, you know Christopher Nolan's

next movie Interstellar has Matthew McConaughey

in it. I Don't have a problem with Matthew McConaughey

never have I tend to enjoy his movies for what

they are, which is like romantic action comedy

movies But I have more faith in Christopher Nolan

to be able to coax a performance out of him than

anything. And then, of course, he was just in

True Detective, which is just amazing. So I'm

not really worried about that movie at all. While

I ponder on this, are there any that you can

think of? I'm having a hard time trying to think

of any, honestly. I think I can think of more

trailers that had... I could think trailers that

were better than the movie like a trailer got

me excited and then the movie like was a complete

letdown like x -men 3 The same argument could

also be made for the matrix two and two and a

half Because I don't really I consider the major

I consider reloaded in revolutions to be one

movie Because they technically are But but I

feel like the trailers for those movies were

kind of a letdown compared to what we Relatively

compared to what we got. I know x -men 3 x -men

3 was one of the what was the movie? Was really

the movie that taught me to be skeptical of a

good trailer Because that movie was garbage Yeah,

I think of anything yeah Want that if the readers

could throw the list readers if the listeners

could throw in some examples we might be able

to riff on Because like I said, yes, nothing

is jumping to my mind Yeah, I'm kind of drawn

a blank as well. I mean I can't I can't even

really think of anything off top of my head what

I would say I disliked enough to Yeah, I don't

know I will say this about trailers though on

a side note. I don't want to see another trailer

for guardians of the galaxy Yeah, I mean they've

kind of already shown all they can with that

at this point But the thing about it is that

trailer is so perfect I I feel like that trailer

I can watch that trailer on repeat that trailer

is really good and I feel like it does a great

job of capturing Like what that movie like the

tone of that movie I feel like it does a great

job capturing the tone of that movie And I think

the minute they release a second trailer. That

is when that movie is going to start to look

bad. I really think they just nailed it out of

the park with that first trailer and all marketing

for that movie is downhill. Like, and I'm I'm

I'm actually going to avoid all other trailers

just so I don't risk anything ruining it for

me. But I just wanted to throw that out there

because I saw it again. So twice because I saw

Captain America two twice. So I saw the trailer

twice in three days on the big screen. I see

both times like that is such a perfect trailer

and Yeah, so let's put let's put that question

out there. I know it's a movie thing But you

know it's not news or anything. We're just ripping

out opinions here Are there like trailers that

were like set up like I said like x -men 3? You

know and then the movie was like crap are there

trailers that were like really good It made you

want to see that movie and the movie was just

garbage Let us know about that and throw out

your suggestions for Casting that ruined a movie

for you. It's like man. I can't think of anything

I have a hard time figuring any of those out

anymore. Just because some of them it's it's

It's just so hard to Find somebody that's miscast

it's it's more so like you said they're the writers

and the directors that kind of either You know

pull me or throw me because I mean most the time

The director means diddly squat to me because

I either know their stuff or I don't Usually

for me, it's the writers like if I've heard of

them before or something like that Sometimes

the actors are the direction like for instance

Fantastic for I'm not happy with like anything

I've read about it, but I'm not a huge Fantastic

Four fan anyway, so to me any kind of change

Doesn't inspire confidence. I see I like Josh

Trank and I really like what he did on Chronicle

So I hate I loved Chronicle. I Really did I'm

kind of bummed that the sequel is kind of like

in hell right now, but One that they they had

the powers and they they did The Where they walked

around with the camera, yeah, yep. Yeah, I can't

stand Motion capture when they're they're walking

around. Oh, I mean that's what that I think that's

I I think that was a good movie regardless of

the way of the style It was shot. I mean I can

understand not liking it because of the way that

it was shot I totally get that I think I could

have watched it if it had been shot like a normal

film. Right, right. And I, I really, but like

I don't have a problem with those movies. I mean,

I liked the performances and I liked the evolution

of a super villain, which is really what that

movie was. But. Yeah, I I'm all for what Josh

is going to do with the Fantastic Four, especially

since it seems like they're. Going with ultimate

fantastic four, which is personally my favorite

fantastic four, but um We could talk about that

more in the coming months after we actually see

something but um Oh, yeah, it is about it. It's

really about the director for me. I mean, uh,

for instance, um I you know the netflix project

with marvel Um, they've announced that drew.

I mean this was announced a while ago, but drew

goddard who did cabin in the woods He is the

showrunner and one of the writers on the daredevil

series Mm -hmm. I You threw his name in there

I'm so I don't care who they cast as dirt They

could put Ben Affleck back in the suit and I'd

still watch it. I Mean, I forgot that's because

I like that guy. So I'm not saying it'd be good.

I definitely like tune in to find out what it

was about, you know But I would never they could

You know, they could do they could completely

revamp daredevil and make it make him a her and

i'd still watch it because I'd want to be like

well Why did they choose? Why did they decide

to make this decision? So But yeah Help us out

here guys with this guy's question Yes, definitely

help us what movies were you super excited about

until you heard a casting headline? Yeah, that's

a tough one I'll have to ponder on that one.

Yeah. All right. You want to take us out? Sure.

Just before we do. And no, I'm not getting into

the random Batman Superman crap that's floating

around right now because there's quite a bit

of it as far as casting and stuff like that.

I'm more concerned with the video game at this

point, at least till they show me a bat suit.
