They discuss Big Bang Theory season 7, Arrow, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Supernatural, The Americans, Person of Interest, Revenge, and more—touching on canceled shows like The Following, Trophy Wife, and The Neighbors. They also briefly address the newly announced Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice title and what it might mean for DC's film universe.

Hi, this is Dr. Andrea LeTimendi. And Brian Ward

from the Arkham Sessions. And you are listening

to... The GeekCast Radio Network. Geek Unlimited

I'm your host Steve Megatron Phillips and joining

me is Mike Booth Ninja 81 powers Yo, yo We just

spent the last 15 20 minutes talking about what

we've been doing behind the scenes and now I

don't really feel like talking about it all Well,

I guess I could go first As of this recording

as of this airing of the podcast GCRN has got

at least its first official Comic book preview

coming very awesome DC Comics sent me four pages

of the Batman Beyond 2 .0 chapter 21 which releases

May 24th 2014 I'm very awesome of them that they

sent me that. Can't wait to put it up. Let's

see, I am recording a three -part arc on M -Wire

regular for the Thin Man movies, celebrating

the 80th anniversary of that film franchise.

Pole Bag is going strong. I'm currently working

on the plans for June. They won't be as big and

huge and as many as in May. Thank God. which

is probably what most people are saying. Let's

see, what else? I'm dealing with crazy irresponsible

generations and generations of stupid people

when it comes to my neighbors. Walk out of my

apartment building this evening to walk the dog

and right in the middle of the sidewalk is this

little play set knocked on its side. It's like

some little kids slide thing. It's like the shrunken

down version of a slide that you would find at

a playground. And it's right in the middle of

the damn sidewalk. Are you kidding me? You can't

just set it to the side on the grass where no

one has to walk in front of it or trip over the

damn thing. So I threw that across the lawn.

The people that I live around are just... Anyway.

Yeah, yeah, pretty much. They're all a bunch

of asshats. Let's see what else I've been...

Yes, yes they do. Let's see what else have I

been doing. I'm currently working on getting

PixelC animation wrapped up for the Captain N

era and starting the Super Adventures of Super

Mario Bros. 3 era. I've been playing a lot of

classic video games. That's pretty much it. I

Someone offered me a ps3 So that's gonna be pretty

cool Any games? I think there's I think it's

what did he say? Arkham City was the only one

that he listed that I actually Think I could

play because I've seen how the god of war games

play and it's just not my kind of game So okay

Originally well no I mean I'm just I'm just curious

because the art I mean the combat is a little

bit different in Arkham But they're essentially

the same type of game They're both like hacking

slash beat -em -ups except except God of War

has a static camera which mean you know you wouldn't

be responsible for controlling where the camera

looks whereas in Batman you are I I hope to eventually

get Honestly, the only appeal for me for a PS3

at the time when it was first launched was Metal

Gear Solid 4. Because I am a huge Metal Gear

Solid fan, and hopefully I can find that somewhere.

I liked 4. To be able to play that. So, yeah,

that's what I've been up to. What about you,

Steve? What's going on with you? Well, I mentioned

it off air and I'm not gonna go in too much detail

but I've been promoted I Have my office done

I have the bedroom done We've been busting those

out got the hallway done Now waiting on carpet

and then the internets to get hooked up Yeah

in our webs Yes interwebs and I managed to Two

nights ago when we were putting in our new closet

sliding closet doors in the bedroom I was Trying

to get a clip to pop on it and I was using a

screwdriver and it pops out of the clip and shot

through my thumb So I punctured my thumb with

a phillips screwdriver Wow Yeah, so I don't even

doing it wrong Yeah, that's where that meme actually

applies But um yeah, I I got it to pop out right

as I shoved it through my thumb And then I immediately

of course cleaned it pressed it I pressed it

in because if you hold pressure on it after you've

done it it seals back to its original location

uh essentially creating its own scab of its own

damaged flesh so but I had it taped up it was

about like half an inch thick of um because I

put a bandaid and then I put like a piece of

paper towel and then I taped it in tape Then

the next day it was half the size and today.

I just have a band -aid on it because I don't

actually need it on there But it doesn't hurt

as bad now. It's still stung like a bitch yesterday

This reminds me of a story that might what happened

to my uncle when I was a kid I believe it was

when I was a kid I could be it might have been

earlier than that I remember we always used to

tell the story about my uncle my uncle Patrick

He was working in my grandfather's garage with,

I believe, a circular saw. You know where this

is going, don't you? My fingers! No, he sliced

off his left thumb. So he just has a nub for

a thumb. Yeah, yay. What about anything else

going on with you, Steve, as far as the house

and all that stuff? No, nothing else with the

house, really. I mean, we've been going around

repairing stuff and then I have family fixing

things that we don't know how to do. But no,

for the most part, it's it's coming along. What

about you, Mike? What's going on with you? Well,

you know, Steve got a promotion and I went out

and well, I didn't really go out, but I have

an offer out. out for another job that I'm hoping

to get here sometime in the next couple of weeks,

but I don't want to say too much about that in

case I don't get it and I won't look like a huge

failure. Other than that, I've spent the, let's

see, I spent Saturday and Monday night watching

my programs to prepare for this podcast. I'm

attempting to get back into gaming after not

touching any of my consoles, I realized for over

a month. And by doing so, I mean that I'm buying

more. I bought two games this week and I'm not

playing either one of them. Actually, I should

say I've bought in three games in the last two.

Now I can actually officially say I've bought

in three games in the last two weeks and I'm

getting ready to buy a fourth one and I will

have not played any of them. The reason I say

the third one is because I actually jumped on

my first Kickstarter thing. I don't know what

you could even call it, my first Kickstarter

project. I jumped on board with that. I was sitting

at work sometime last week and Harmonix, the

company that made, well, they made Guitar Hero

and then they left Activision and they made Rock

Band. There are two of their first games were

frequency and amplitude for the PlayStation 2

They were music rhythm games, but they didn't

have they use just the shoulder buttons on the

control on the PlayStation 2 controller They

weren't like instruments. You were like a little

ship flying along the different tracks for like

guitar Keyboard, you know vocals just like rock

band or guitar hero was And I remember playing

that in college and I loved those games but they

decided to harmonix launched a kickstarter to

make a brand new amplitude for the playstation

3 and the playstation 4 and it was like if you

pledge 20 bucks you get you know you get a copy

of the game for both platforms so i was like

well i'm going to buy it when it comes out anyways

i might as well just pay for it right now so

i jumped on that almost as soon as i saw it because

Honestly, don't think there's a week that goes

by where some part of me doesn't think about

playing amplitude I think I've owned like three

copies of the game, but I don't know where any

of them are But no, I'm so yeah, I jumped on

the first Kickstarter thing I know some people

aren't big fans of Kickstarter and normally I'm

not I mean I do see like a lot of interesting

kickstarters like come and go and I follow them

and I think hey that would be really interesting

and then I kind of look at what it would cost

you know you look at the different tiers and

I'm kind of like well what would I want out of

this and then I kind of look and if it's too

expensive I'm just like I'm sorry that's that's

the one that I want but I'm not going to pay

that much for it. Kind of like case in point

there was a there's a group of guys that used

to work for oneup .com They're working on a video

game documentary series and They started a Kickstarter

for it, and it was like if you pledged If you

pledge $50 you got a digital copy of the entire

series Like in HD and all that stuff I was like

oh, that's that's kind of neat, but you know

I don't really I like digital copies But what

if I want to let someone borrow it you know I

could give them a thumb drive But it's way easier

just to hand them like a blu -ray disc of said

program or whatever right and the like to get

the to get a blue they offered a blu -ray you

know of the series with the digital copy and

all that you know with all the bells and whistles

because the way the kickstarter works is when

you go up a tier you get everything in the previous

tier had um but it was like a hundred bucks i

was like i don't want to i don't want to pay

a hundred bucks for this but i also but i want

it on blu -ray so i guess you're not getting

any of my money So but yeah, this is this is

the first one I was kind of like hey You know,

I'd pay $20 for it on PlayStation Network when

it hits that I might as well just pay $20 for

right now And it got funded today while I was

out to lunch and it was kind of fun like following

it and seeing if it was gonna get funded because

they were trying to get $775 ,000 and By 8 p

.m. Tonight and or 8 p .m. Tomorrow. Sorry Friday

and they did it, you know with like 22 hours

to spare So that was it was kind of fun I don't

know if I'd ever do it again unless something

extra extraordinary like this popped up, but

That's it's pretty much all I've been up to Nice

to start out with for the finales? Since we talked

a few last week and some of them not this week

because we hadn't watched them, whether it be

you or I. Why don't we start with, sorry, Tomorrow

People because you've actually now seen the finale.

Yes. So. All right. So do you want to go first

or do you want me to? Well, I mean, I guess you

can go first, because you thought you'd seen

it, but you didn't see it. So now I'm kind of

wondering if you liked it, because I remember

saying on last week's episode that I actually

really enjoyed it, and now I was really bummed

that it was over with. So I'm wondering if you

still feel that way. I'm actually kind of upset

that they cancelled it. It was... I mean, I was

glad that they got rid of the founder. I kind

of seen that coming a mile away. The death of

the dad, I didn't really see coming. I still

wasn't quite sure what to think about Jedekiah

because he's been so wishy -washy the whole season.

But I liked the twist that they introduced towards

the end. Not only with Stephen in the show being

able to control time and also reverse the device

but also throwing the founder through it and

destroying the device making it basically envelope

itself and then Saving all the humans and then

you having what Jedi Kai had pulled off With

John basically wiping him out Yeah, I it's set

up a whole lot of stuff. It's one of those it's

one of those Series finales where they probably

didn't know they were getting canceled until

after the episode it shot So it like resolves

nothing I Mean yeah certain storylines come to

an end like you said like the founder is gone

the machine is gone, but the Like two -thirds

of that show remained Open and not only open

like brand new mysteries to solve like In I'll

say this about this season TV a lot of these

shows that I watched that were cancelled Almost

every single one of them. I was not happy that

they were cancelled like usually I can see you

know, you see a show that gets cancelled like

oh good I don't have to watch that anymore. Oh

that you know, it was it was crap It or it turned

to crap and I don't want to watch anymore, but

there were a lot this this year where it's just

like I Don't think there was one where I saw

and I was like, oh, I'm glad that's over with

it was more It was more like man. I'm I'm really

angry. This stuff was cancelled And more people

definitely leads the pack there I Know it was

such a letdown. I was really hoping that that

got to continue But unfortunately it did not

So seem pretty strong though, I mean at least

the later episodes Yeah, it kind of went through

it. It seemed to have go to go through a little

bit of an arrow transformation But you know it

They'd never had the announcement of a renewal

like I'm wondering if like behind the scenes

there was talk of a renewal So these kind of

started running with things and then all of a

sudden I was like, nope We're not gonna renew

you The one show that they did that CW did renew

that I've heard, you know Decent things about

that. I'll probably check out this summer is

the 100 But I've only seen like screenshots and

have a vague idea that it's kind of a television

a televised version of the Hunger Games Okay,

so I'm I'm looking forward to catching up with

that this summer but Now, talking about season

finales, there are some people that brought up

in the comment section about shows that may not

have their season finale right now, like House

of Cards or Sherlock. One, I really dug House

of Cards. I really like the season finale for

House of Cards, but can you consider a Netflix

show a season? I don't even know, because you

can marathon that. No, yeah, I don't I don't

really know I I mean I've I mean granted. I don't

really watch Anything on Netflix cuz I don't

care to have it anymore but But you know film

film for fun brought up Sherlock and yeah, I

have to admit I'm I'm Totally remembering how

I felt about the end of Sherlock season 3. I

just remember being giddy as a schoolgirl at

the end of that So that was a really good one.

Luckily it's coming back for a fourth season.

So yes Which I still think Unless you have, unless

you have and I can't remember Steve, you still

need to check that series out. The BBC Sherlock.

This part has been edited. Ha ha ha. You'll never

know what was actually here. So I was talking

about the the end of the season finale for Sherlock

and I was wondering if you had. I couldn't remember

if you said that you had checked it out and didn't

like it or if you had yet to check out the Sherlock

series on BBC. Have yet to check it out. Okay

You're missing out man So I Guess the elephant

in the room as far as TV because we didn't really

talk about him last week is agents of shield

and arrow I Fell asleep in agents of shield.

I tried to watch it on my own demand And I guess

I was really tired. Wasn't anything to do with

the actual episode, but I fell asleep and never

went back and watched it. And Arrow, I was telling

Steve Allfair that I have watched maybe four,

the first four episodes of season two. So I'm

not, I wasn't going to watch the season finale

without watching the other episodes, obviously.

So I have yet to see that. If you guys want to

do spoilers, I don't mind because it's probably

going to be. Probably won't see it until whenever

it hits Netflix. I wasn't necessarily thinking

of talking spoilers with regards to arrow I just

wanted to say that I Watching it you get to the

very end of the episode and there's the the twist

if you will Regarding ollie and At first I kind

of you know cocked my head to the side. I was

like huh come on. What is this and Fortunately,

if the listeners may remember, my wife and I

have been rewatching season one of Arrow and

that show is actually a lot tighter than I gave

it credit for or than I think it gets credit

for because they, the writers left themselves

a lot of hooks and a lot of stray threads in

season one laying like groundwork for stuff that

is paying off in season two and will probably

pay off beyond. There's one throwaway line in

season one that when you watch the episode, I

remember watching the episode the first time

and just being like, whoop, there it goes, whatever

that means, and you get to the end of season

two, and my wife and I watched the episode that

has said line in it, and I was like, oh, the

end of season two makes sense now. Holy cow.

But like, you know whether it's just them, you

know trying to leave themselves like enough rope

to I Don't know not hang themselves with I guess

you could say Or or they're actually doing a

really good job planning The series now that's

I mean, it's it's actually a lot tighter than

I than most TV shows like I can watch like I

I've been trying to think of a TV show that has

that's more I'm not thinking like like I can

think of I can think of better TV shows, but

I'm trying to think of TV shows that are more

like consistent and Totally serialized the way

that Arrow is because like I said, there's a

lot of stuff in season two that calls back to

just little things in season one and it just

makes the whole experience that much more coherent

and And actually and actually knowing where the

series goes rewatching season one has been a

big enjoyment for me because Some of the stuff

that's just kind of trivial doesn't really matter

as much because you know how good it gets But

it's still there are still some things that are

just just downright bad so but yeah i i really

enjoyed the season finale for arrow i'm excited

to see where uh season three goes and i'm really

interested in you know potential crossovers with

flash um i'm hoping we get more of those than

what we think we'll get but what do you think

steve i think i well for one i really enjoyed

the episode um which Kind of figured I was going

to But the the other thing with with the show

was It not only managed to wrap up the whole

Slade Wilson Deathstroke Storyline that they

had going But it it allowed I don't know some

Some level of you know, cuz again there there,

you know, they locked him up and then he's and

of course like a special bunker, but They left

a lot of things open plus you have Waller playing

a bigger role I Just I think it was very very

well put together I It kept me very enthusiastic

for for more and I'm Isn't that show coming back

sooner though? What arrow? Yeah, it's I Thought

I'd just stay to be using the fall like everything

else like October Maybe it does. I thought I

read something where it was coming back sooner,

but maybe I miss Fred Hmm I have not seen that

yet I just assumed it was coming back in October

with all the other CW shows. So, I guess moving

on, what did you think of Agents of Field? That

I was real surprised. Surprised that it was good

or surprised that it was a snoozefest? it's not

because of the content of the show i fell asleep

watching and it's because i was done i don't

know i'm sorry that no that is that was not you

know that was not okay his cat did something

like that my phone Your cat's not supposed to

hit your phone. Why are you letting your cat

abuse your technology? She came up and just went

whack smacked my phone, but um But yeah shield

I I was I was kind of surprised that it was actually

good I figured with the inclusion of Nick Fury

in there it would be but And I didn't think that

he was gonna get as much screen time as he did

I don't know what the season finale of shield

like Accomplished like there was a so like parts

of it were like classic movie you know Colson

and you felt it felt a little some of it felt

very like cinematic kind of like the silver screen

stuff and then other parts that were just kind

of like I don't even know what other parts of

it were like I mean I didn't I didn't hate it

it was just kind of there it was just like another

episode of the show it was just like how how

they all are I feel like the biggest the thing

that made it a season finale was the same thing

that you could the same reason the premiere was

so big is because oh look nick fury and colby

smolders show up you know uh well and that was

it i think what made it good was the fact that

fury was in it and it gave it more of a cinematic

feel um but when he wasn't on the screen it definitely

felt like the regular season well i'm just yeah

i'm just saying it is it And even the events

in it, it just felt like it could have been like

a regular episode. It just happened to have cameos

from the big screen guys. Which to me is just

kind of what that whole show is. It's just kind

of like, OK, we're we're here. We're telling

side stories. I mean, the last three or four

episodes have been good, but they're not. They're

still not, I don't know, and I feel like such

a. real bad nerd saying this, they're not what

I want that series to be. Well, and I think that

they're starting to head that direction now because

they've made the Thor reference, they've made

the Captain America 2 reference, they're basically

hitting a Guardians of the Galaxy reference now

at this point. So, I mean, it's... It's growing.

It just it's not hitting that right. And I agree.

It's not hitting those levels that I kind of

expect and would hope that they'd actually do.

But I as far as the finale, was it the strongest

finale of the season or of other shows this season?

No. But was it entertaining? Yes. But like I

said, if Fury wasn't on the screen, I'd Didn't

really find myself giving all that much of a

damn I'm sorry well, I was gonna say that I think

that Fury would I mean yeah, he's kind of they're

essentially writing him out of The Marvel universe

with this partially, but if shield is still gonna

be technically operating in Colson's in charge

of it Well, I just don't know what the hook was

to come back like what was the thing that was

like come back for season two to find out Like

I don't even it was the very it was the very

last minute I Guess I don't even remember. That's

how uneventful Well You have fury, you know,

you have you know, like you said classic Colson

sitting there talking to fury in the episode

and then he's you know having a conversation

with fury about the the the revival program and

he's he's telling him oh it's stupid blah blah

blah blah and fury is like you done oh because

he puts him as the head of shield the director

of the shield yeah and fury hands in this little

cube and and says here you're you're the the

director you figure it out start out slow take

your time blah blah blah and um In it and I kind

of enjoyed that and I kind of saw that coming

anyway Especially with them saying that Sam Jackson's

only to be like a real quick cameo and adventures

to he's not really gonna be anything But In the

Bill Paxton thing I like how they got deathlocked

to take care of him and Where fury hands that

giant? Bazooka that he shot Loki with to him

and says, you know how to fire it and he's like,

yeah Yeah, well here's the thing for me and I

guess this could be the last thing I'll say about

agents that feel good or bad when they announced

what it was I There is a I don't know if any

of the listeners have read this or not. There

is a prequel comic to Avengers I think it's like

five or six issues and It is what S .H .I .E

.L .D. is doing behind the events of Iron Man,

Iron Man 2, Incredible Hulk, Thor, and Captain

America. It follows Colson and a smaller group

of agents as they take the destroyer and they

find out how to make the gun and they do this,

that, and the other thing. I really thought that's

what the launching point... I thought that's

what... Agents of S .H .I .E .L .D. was going

to be televised. It was going to take from that

comic and televised those moments. I don't know

why they can't capitalize on that. That comic

didn't have cameos from the superheroes. Iron

Man didn't just show up randomly as Iron Man.

The superheroes all showed up on television screens

and stuff like that in the background, or they

were just referenced via name -dropping, kind

of the way Iron Man or Tony Stark is referenced

in Captain America 2, I just thought that's what

Agents of S .H .I .E .L .D. was going to be because

I thought that was a really cool look into the

cinematic version of S .H .I .E .L .D. and they

just haven't delivered on that. So that's the

fanboy in me saying, the comic is much better

than the TV show, but... That's all I'm still

gonna watch season 2 so I want to see what happens

and I like I like wasn't Patton Oswald Well,

I obviously that's Mike's favorite thing to say

which is a life model decoy So I'm I The reason

that I the reasons I'm interested in agents of

shield are not for the reasons that they want

me to be interested in agents of shield So I

I Enjoyed the last episode I like I said I like

the quirky add -ons of Colson's character where

he was more his movie version And then especially

how he took care of Paxton at the end And then

of course the the ramifications of taking that

serum That revived him Yeah when that was that's

one of the things that kind of bummed me out

is he was like transforming And I'm sitting there

in my I'm sitting there going. What's he gonna

be? What's he gonna be and for like a second?

I was like they're not gonna have him like Become

like Ultron like right here on the screen. I

don't know what I was thinking But I'm like,

that's not that's not what this is going to be.

Is it because it would be like a really gutsy

move and then Colson just comes in and pops him

Yeah, it was funny, but I'm just like that's

not I Mean, that's not the kind of funny I like

I like watching Colson like geek out about stuff

like he's geeking out over the howling commandos

gear Yeah That was that was really good. That

was probably my one of my favorite scenes in

the entire season was him geeking out over the

Howling Commandos stuff But I've heard the only

I'll say what I just shield is I've heard people

say recently Watch the very first episode and

then skip to Tahiti and watch the end of the

season Hmm I mean, yeah, but Well, I guess it

doesn't really matter because the characters

don't really matter. Yeah, exactly But then again

if the characters don't matter why are you watching

the show? What's next I caught the season finale

to the following, but I don't know if anyone

watches that but me Trophy wife no probably not

The neighbors is Let's see what did what get

canceled the following Trophy wife trophy wife

did a trophy wife is one of those shows that

we're talking about Steve that I'm actually mad

it was canceled Because I actually thought it

was a very funny charming kind of heartfelt comedy

That was just kind of buried under a bad name

The neighbors was also cancelled after its second

season, which I really like the neighbors I brought

it up in the comment section I kind of always

thought it was the other side of men in black

that you don't see in the movies and Watching

the series the series through that lens actually

helped me enjoy it more See I'm going through

my list of TV shows to see what's ended and what

I've actually watched I have not seen the series

season finale to supernatural I have. It's easy.

The series finale for Supercatory was sad as

well. Mad that that show was cancelled. Sleepy

Hollow was alright. Looking forward to... I can't

say I'm looking forward to Season 2, but I do

want to see where they go with it. Did catch

the end of person of interest which I think is

one of my favorite TV shows right now I'm excited

to see where that goes man. Okay. Why don't we

just talk about the shows that you guys have

watched because Well, I think both of us have

watched the Big Bang Theory season 7 finale Yep

And people that say, oh, the Big Bang Theory,

that's just a bunch of crappy jokes and whatever

else, and there's no character development. They've

been developing these characters. They've been

adding new characters over the last seven years.

And this year's season finale, I was really surprised

that they took the characters and finally really

gave them a new direction. You don't care about

spoilers, do you, Mike? Nope. Or have you seen

it? Leonard and Penny are getting married actually

engaged They are actually engaged Stuart's comic

book store burned down so Because of his personality

he is the only person that Howard and Bernadette

find that actually wants to take care of Howard's

ailing mother Let's see what else Sheldon Basically

as a nervous breakdown throughout the whole episode

because he cannot handle change at all I can

handle change for the most part, but there are

certain times where I'm kind of like that where

I just cannot stand change but I'm nowhere near

as against change as Sheldon is and he basically

has a nervous breakdown because of Leonard and

Penny's engagement and They're they actually

suggest that they live That Leonard and Penny

live in the main apartment and Sheldon move over

to Penny's apartment And that freaks him out

by the end of the episode Sheldon goes off on

his own on some journey on a train and The rest

of the gang just hangs out Raj finally gets laid

more than once I Really I love the season finale

this year. I thought it was great. I love that

they're taking the characters in completely new

directions. You know, you look at Howard Wolowitz

from season one to season seven, the dude's character

has really evolved in that time. He's not the

perv he was in season one. He can still be that

way, but it's not as apparent anymore. What were

your thoughts on season 7 finale Steve? I I kind

of expected some of these things to happen the

whole Some of the personality swaps and some

of the changes of scenery I think should have

been done a while ago, but Like they've been

building towards the penny and Leonard thing

for a while, but The Sheldon thing needed to

be switched up a while back. The comic shop that

needed to be switched up a while ago. So it bodes

well for the next season. I just hope that they

don't keep dragging the show on too long. Like

they tend to do with a lot of shows anymore.

It's like they have to hit that magic season

10 number. Well, it is renewed for three more

years. It is renewed for three more years. So

there is that I'm trying to think what else Overall,

it was a really good season finale. I I don't

think Steve did but I watched the season finale

of revenge I have not been watching a lot of

season 3 of revenge. It just kind of Lost interest

I think six episodes into season 3 And by the

end of it, I was like, hmm, well, there you go.

That's interesting. Did you catch that at all,

Mike, or did you give that show up? I gave it

up. You gave it up? Yep. Basically, David Clark

gets cleared, and guess what? David Clark's alive.

And by the end of the episode, Colin, or not

Colin, what the hell's his name? Oh, crap. Stowe's

husband. Crap. Grayson. Grayson Sr. He gets shot.

Supposedly shot and killed by David Clark. I

watched that. I thought that was interesting.

Since we were talking about TV, Mike, I guess

we could jump over to NBC and talk about that

sadly anticlimactic season finale for The Blacklist.

I mean, I... Mean yeah, it wasn't very climactic.

It was interesting to see red Get his hands dirty.

I think that was the high point of the of the

show But you know like I talked about on last

week's episode I still don't want to spoil anything

for anybody, but you know it's like I said did

it happen I was so excited when when you know

a certain event happened And then I you know

get to the end of the episode and it dawned on

me. I said wait a minute did it happen? I mean

I like that character a little bit more now that

I know he's not what he was at the beginning

of the season. The blacklist overall for me has...

In the beginning, it was a really awesome fun

ride and like I think up until the point of the

ant like after the Anselo Garrick two -parter

I couldn't say up until then I couldn't say a

bad thing about the show. I loved it so much

as They kept going through it until the final

two episodes I there were certain times where

I got really bored with it which is really funny

because I love the show to that point and I honestly

think NBC needs to adopt the 13 episode You know

arc thing instead of 22 22 is just way too long

and drawn out Yeah The season finale for me.

It's like hey Mira died. She got shot or she

got stabbed or like didn't mean anything. No

one really had like really had any emotion to

her. I've been a proponent of Lizzie Keen since

day one, but even in the finale, I was like,

why do I care about this character? I want to

know why. I feel like I don't know why they keep

treating the audience like they're dumb in the

fact that they keep going. You know, Greg keeps

insisting he's not her dad. Here's my thing with

that really quickly The only thing that's the

only thing that makes any damn sense because

his interest in her otherwise is Stalker like

and creepy. Yes, and I and it's just I wish they

would just get it out of the way and be dumb

with that part because that is just I don't know

if they it makes me and here's the thing it makes

me feel stupid because every shred of writing

and acting suggests that he has some sort of

like family or fatherly like vibe towards her

and if the writers turn around and concoct some

other ham -fisted reason like that he's not Like

he they make it so he is not in fact her actual

father and that it's some other person that we've

never seen or seen or heard of and Red was just

like maybe red was like a friend and he was like

caught in the fire if that ends up being the

case I'm done with this show Because that's just

them being like he's not it's not it's really

not we just we just we just don't know how yet

He's just not and then they'll just make it not

when all their writing and acting says it is

and I'll feel like they'll just be like, just

be like, see, look how dumb you are thinking

that it was his dad the whole time. No, I think

that might be where I throw in the towel. The

minute that they say, this is your actual father,

I think, and it's not red, I might throw in the

towel. Now there is one thing that I will point

out. Every so often, usually every week, sometimes

they don't do it, which kind of makes me mad

when they don't do it, but on the Blacklist YouTube

channel they have Beyond the Blacklist. And it's

a digital exclusive that comes out after every

episode, usually the next day. There's short

videos, maybe five or ten minutes with the crew

and the cast, and they talk about the episode

that happened that week. And the funny thing

is, when I hear them talking about it... You

know even though at the time of watching an episode

of the show I might have problems with that episode

once I hear them talking about it They're like,

oh, okay. I can fully get behind that now But

isn't it doesn't it kind of make it a little

silly that they have to have something to justify

why something is Being good and well written

in the show there has to be some mental material

to make it flow better I mean, I like the supplemental

material for the show because I think it's interesting

to see what the like, more specifically, the

cast like Megan Boone or James Spader or even

what's his name, Harry Lennox, what they have

to say about their characters. That's one of

the reasons why I like it. But after I watched

the season finale and then I watched the the

kind of recap and final thoughts on it, I'm still

not happy. With the season finale. I mean, I'm

happy and I'm not happy They leave things so

it's not a true cliffhanger at all But they do

leave things open to to interpretation and question

like you were saying earlier Just give us a damn

definitive answer and the stupid thing is in

the midseason They even said she directly asks

him. Are you my father and he says no What's

his motivation for like is it? because if he

reveals to her that he's her father that her

whole character is going to change because of

that knowledge i don't know um i mean i i'm really

interested to see where the blacklist goes for

season two um and i'm kind of upset that we didn't

really get like a big You know end all be all

black Lister at this first season. I mean, I

guess Berlin being number eight It's the highest

number we got and I do like the fact that You

know when she figures it out that hey all of

these, you know people are connected in some

way To this this mystery guy that no one really

knows about I'm wondering if the mystery guy

is her father That's what I'm wondering Hey,

I'm fisted I did watch the season finale of the

Americans Season two of the Americans. I don't

know if you've watched that or watch that show

Mike I have the entire season. I'm I It's one

that's been on the back burner. I was gonna like

blow through the whole thing in like a day or

two So you have season two already? Yeah, I I've

only watched the first episode and I was obviously

back in February I have not watched any since,

so... I was so stoked. Right, no, no, no. I won't

spoil anything. I was so stoked the first season,

and I will maintain this opinion. This is a show

that could not have been done any time except

for right now because of the content and the

time period that it's set in. Um, season two

for me, my general thought is, at least for me

personally, it was a little bit too much of a

slow burn. There wasn't a lot of action. Uh,

the finale sets up season three. It doesn't directly,

it puts the show in a new direction that I'm

very interested in. But getting there was like

trying to walk behind an elephant. I mean, that's

just. It's just the way I felt watching the second

season. I was expecting a little bit more action.

But this year, for the second season, they basically

focused a lot on the family stuff. That was kind

of the whole plot behind Elizabeth and Philip

and everything else with them directly. The FBI

stuff bores me to tears. The Resident Tura stuff

bores me to tears. I really only care about Philip

and Elizabeth and what's going on directly with

them right now. I don't know. It was a very slow

burn for me for season two. A lot of our FX shows

are like that though. They're kind of slow burns

with little flare -ups here and there. But I

haven't seen it so maybe I'm now kind of dreading

watching it. well i'm i'm just saying for me

personally you you might see it differently uh...

i would say still still watch it uh... because

you're going to be really interested i think

you might be really interested in where they're

where they're going to go uh... for the next

season because it was picked up i believe yeah

it was uh... what other season finale so we have

to talk about steve Well, I was wanting to talk

about supernatural but since Next week Or I can

what I can bow out and you can talk about it

No, that's fine. No what I was gonna say about

it without actually spoiling anything is it it

becomes self -aware and In a piece of dialogue,

and I'm not going to say anything about what

it is or who said it or anything, but. The dynamics

they pull every single season. Where 1 of the

Winchester's dies or comes back or dies or comes

back or any of that kind of. Yeah, it pokes fun

of itself because it's like, oh, this has become

so repetitive. It's like they're so so Predictable

and then they totally like 360 it like or 180

it go in a completely different direction Hmm

see that's another show that I kind of put on

the back burner I have six of the last six episodes

of that to watch so it It's it's it kind of I

don't know I Some of these villains because they

become you know, they're the whole season long

villain type thing Which they've done the entire

time and it's fine. I I have a hard time Getting

into it more the further it goes long because

they keep playing the same card over and over

just with a you know, the new The new bad guy

villain of the month But They have a lot go on

in the last episode. I'll just say that It definitely

has a WTF moment at the end And That's how they

drop it for the next season and I know that it's

been renewed for a tenth season, but I am hoping

that There's a couple plot lines they left open

in previous seasons That I could see coming into

play in season 10 with what happens To completely

wrap it up and end it See I think I think Supernatural

was at its best Trying to season five well, okay,

I was gonna say I think Supernatural is at its

best when it takes real -world like history or

or people and puts a supernatural slash, you

know, demon hunter spin on it. And I'm really

calling back to like the early seasons with the

cult. And, you know, the the devil's was the

pentagram, the massive one that was built out

of the railroads. Yep. Like the yellow -eyed

demon. Yeah, like. That that that kind of history

that stuff was like amazing like why I wish they

would Did they just like throw the gun away when

they ran out of the six bullets? Because I feel

like you could have made like half a season where

it's like we need to figure out how to make more

of these bullets Well, they did I don't remember

they Crowley gave them the gun back in season

five to kill Lucifer and they had to manufacture

new bullets for it and find some of the original

bullets and they wasted them because it didn't

do anything to Lucifer. It weakened him, but

it didn't actually hurt him. And then it just

became one of those MacGuffins that just disappeared.

And then they replaced it with the... the demon

blade and then they replaced it with the the

angel blade that kills both the angels and demons

and then you know then the first blade I just

wish there was more I wish there was more of

that and I did like I do like the Cain and Abel

vibe that's going on in the current season. Oh

it comes to play heavily. I haven't seen how

it comes to a head but I'm enjoying that like

right now the subtle little the twist on that

and stuff. That's about the only thing going

on this season Season six and seven are terrible.

Eight's getting, you know, it was getting better.

Nine's getting, you know, better as it goes.

And then, but I think season one through five

was so strong because of the, not only the writers,

but because you had the actual show creator on

board. And that was kind of his thing was touching

on historical items. and information and that

kind of stuff so once he departed at season five

it kind of went down the crapper as far as that

and then they just tried embedding random things

and pulling stuff out of their ass isn't it season

four that ends with sam dying Which one which

season doesn't end with him dying? Okay, there's

one season where and it's either four or five

I think it's four but it's like where Sam dies

kind of like, you know in the in the third act

of this of the thing and Dean kind of moves on

he moves into a house and The camera like kind

of pulls out. It's showing Dean and like a kitchen

table or something with whoever he's with and

After a certain amount of times like past and

the camera like pulls out And then it pans to

the right and Sam is standing outside on the

street. Season five, season finale. Yeah, that

right there. Yeah, I feel like that was the last

time it was actually good to me. And I feel I

was so pissed when the camera turned. And I mean,

I watched it on Netflix when they were on like,

I think season seven is when I started actually

watching it. So they were like marathon through

like one through six. when it got to a 90s, so

I knew there was a sixth season, but when it

got to the end of season five and my sister had

told me that that's where it kind of gets a little

shoddy, it's kind of like that stinger of Sam

standing there was kind of like something they

threw on at the last second, like are they going

to get renewed? Are they not going to get renewed?

And I feel like when they were announced they

were going to That they got renewed that that

was like a scene they shot where the camera just

pans and like oh Sam is there now You have to

come back next season to see why Sam is back

And I just remember watching that I was so I

was so mad. I was like, are you kidding me? Rather

than show them at the end of the fifth. I mean,

I understand it's the hook but It was just one

of the things about that show is that's like

the one moment. I just that stands out in my

mind that was just like This was such a perfect

ending and you had to go and ruin it good job

They have a lot of cheap moments like that Um,

but I I definitely think that they switched the

dynamic this time around Oh dean dies Well, I

mean they they alternate every other season if

you if you watch I guess i've never really noticed

but because uh season two or or end of season

one the dad sam and dean were all in the hospital

and then dean dies in the first episode and then

the dad dies right after that because he trades

his life for dean's um and the crossroads demon

that or not crossroads demon the uh the death

demon that um or death angel that's supposed

to take Dean to Heaven or whatever in season

two. It comes back in the season. And then you

have, there's an element that happens in season

two of something that happens with Dean's character

that plays a part in the end of season nine.

So it's it's a it's a lot of calling back to

the the good part of the show kind of foreshadowing

and telling of later things to come so it's It's

rather inventive how they're they're pulling

back and I'm like, oh, I remember that person

or I remember this this element but And I I was

wanting to discuss An element of what happened

in the episode, but I guess I'll wait till next

week to talk about that briefly Sorry, because

I've no it's fine. I've been reading theories

by critics anyway about How they see season 10

playing out But yeah, definitely I would say

it's one of the Stronger season finale's Don't

know if I'd go as good as once upon a time, but

I would probably put it just below that I Think

once upon a time thinking about it. I Think once

upon a time was as good as it was just because

of how it ended But I'm not saying that I don't

think it's because of Who was at the end of you

know that I think I think you could have put

almost any You know Disney character in that

spot, and it would have been just as big of a

hook. I mean, yeah, I guess because it was that

character, it was slightly more of a hook. But

I feel like any time you end a season finale

revealing what may or may not be your next baddie,

I think that's a pretty big hook or a bomb to

drop right before the credits roll. That'll get

people to tune back in. Once upon a time is letting

it go, right? Hm? Once upon a time is letting

it go, right? Since Frozen's coming in Season

3. I guess. He's making a pun on the song. Oh,

I didn't really pay attention to that movie,

I couldn't stand it. I'm right there with ya.

I didn't mind the film, but... There's that that

song that damn song I'm not only Disney Channel,

but on Cars 108 Constantly it's annoying. Oh

I just there was so many times I couldn't follow

the I'll probably catch heat from this from Dan

or somebody but the story made like no sense

to me is I guess as an adult I was looking for

the story to flow coherently or at least resemble

somewhat reality. But I'm not a big Disney guy.

I don't really care for Disney movies. I think

the last Disney movie I actually liked. I like

Wreck -It Ralph. That's kind of like the New

Age stuff. I did like Tangled, but classic Disney,

which is what Frozen pretends to be or is hearkening

back to. Not really my cup of tea. I like Lion

King. I like Aladdin. I like Little mermaid but

after that like not so much And I remember the

last I think the last actual Disney movie I saw

in Theaters was probably Leo and Stitch. I think

that's one my favorites Yeah, I mean I'm right

there with you, you know My problem with some

of the Disney stuff nowadays with the with the

animated films is that they get such followings

and that's fine follow what you want to like

you know i'm not telling anybody not like something

or to like something but my problem is because

of the internet and we're always on the internet

we get exposed to this stuff or overexposed and

this is one thing if everyone's talking about

something i stop and go the other way and wait

to discover it on my own instead of just following

the crowd I waited until it was at Redbox, and

I waited until Redbox sent me a free code. I

sat and watched it, and I think I watched half

of it, stopped it, had to go do stuff, and came

back and finished watching it. It's not the masterpiece

everyone says it is. It's not the best thing

ever. It's an okay Disney movie. It's better

than Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, but...

It just wasn't my wasn't my cup of tea at all.

So. Yes. I think that rounds out the the TV season

finales. Do we want to or care to talk about

the Dawn of Justice? Can we have the dusk of

justice and just be over with it already can't

the movie just be here already I Really don't

get the title. I don't have a lot to say about

it, but I really don't get it I don't understand

why it's not just Batman versus Superman or even

Batman v Superman. I don't it's oh because Here's

the thing any time you've seen a franchise that

does the subtitle thing and they're not supposed

to and Guess I can't really know I can't there's

two out there that are kind of like a thing right

now, right? There's Twilight like they were supposed

to be named after the books but it's now it's

like the first one is called Twilight the rest

of them are Twilight Saga Eclipse or Twilight

Saga like New Moon and then there's The Hunger

Games. So the first one is called The Hunger

Games and the next one is called like Hunger

Games and then like Mockingjay or whatever. It's

supposed to be like they all carry the the title

of the first one so that people can identify

it that it's part of a series so if the next

movie is supposed to be justice league is it

going to be batman be superman justice league

like i just feel like that's such a bad just

from a marketing standpoint but i guess i guess

i just think if you put batman in front of it

then or you know you you you call it whatever

you want as long as the trailer has batman and

superman and wonder woman in it people are gonna

go see it and maybe that's where wanted brothers

is going and if that's where they're going then

i'm kind of giving them credit for that because

i've been waiting for someone to do that for

a long time like i don't understand why and i

guess lord of the rings did it because the first

one is called lord of the rings the second one

is called two towers it's not lord of the rings

two towers or no yeah it is lord of the rings

fellowship of the ring Lord of the Rings, Two

Towers, Lord of the Rings, Return of the King.

So that's another one. If they have the balls

to just call the second movie Justice League,

then without putting Batman v Superman to let

people know that it's in continuity or something

like that, then that's great. And maybe the other

thing I kind of took away from the title was

it kind of sounds like That one theory that I

put forward Steve from that comment I read on

the internet where maybe each one is kind of

a one -off movie With limited continuity between

them other than the actors playing the characters

Where they're just gonna tell the big event stories

Instead of having like these these smaller movies

like Marvel does they're just gonna have the

big Avengers style movies Which would be Which

the title kind of to me that the title kind of

says that in my opinion, but I Don't at least

there's a title there wasn't a title like three

days ago so That's what that's that's a plus

I mean we saw the bat suit in the batwheel before

we even knew the name of the frickin movie and

we still don't even have a release date yet,

so Don't know. Let's just shoot towards a moving

target. I guess I still haven't seen any there

isn't anything that I dislike about the movie

other than the way I can't really I Dislike the

marketing of it. That's that's what it is, but

could it be called is a press release really

marketing I don't know that there's because it's

an announcement, but yeah, but marketing to me

is like ads and or like A trailer spot. I don't

know that there's actually been marketing I think

they're just doing like pr releases and the way

we just had this thing about We just brought

it up talking about frozen Where if the internet

is just so saturated with this stuff and the

news comes at you constantly Like I think that's

just what it is because it's not it's not marketing

because it's not they haven't really shown They

showed a picture of what a movie poster may look

like who knows if that's actually going to be

the first movie poster Because the movie posters

haven't hit yet. So there's no marketing there.

There's no trailer for it So that's I think as

soon as like a trailer comes out Which I still

swear there should have been one on Godzilla

But even if it's just like I could have I would

have like I was thinking about it because I was

reading the comment about The you know getting

the trailer just to hear like Ben Affleck is

Batman Like, you could have done that same thing

where we talked about the first Dark Knight trailer

where you heard the Joker's laugh. It would have

been great just to hear some kind of monologue

by Henry Cavill as Superman and then just Ben

Affleck right at the end of it just go, I'm Batman.

Like... Or... You know what would have been the

best teaser ever for this movie? And before I

reveal what I think my thought is here... Here's

the thing this when was this movie in which comic

con what was it 2012 2013 2013 2013 okay 2013

Supposedly, it's not coming out till 2016 2017

2015 Okay, well it I thought it was moved back

to 2016. Oh, it is 2016 anyway 2013 to 2016 that's

three years and all this news you put it is here

and now and everything else and we see the batsuit

we see the Batmobile we finally get a title the

best teaser that they could have done for this

movie because they are marketing it as Batman

versus Superman so I assume they're gonna fight

at some point during this film best teaser whether

it's Danny Elfman you bring him back or whether

you no wait anyways wait wait wait if you bring

back Danny Elfman or you continue on with Hans

Zimmer for the music just have some big fight

music and see the two of them coming at each

other like you know like they're gonna punch

each other like Superman's gonna fly out and

punch back just have them coming at each other

like you know round one fight you know even that

would have been better than not getting anything

at all in my head is that sounds so laughable

because i just imagined that when they get ready

to punch each other in the face super just flicks

batman that's how that scene ends to make now

with that now the splash of the title in the

logo no it ends with superman looking bad man

in the face in killing him that uh... okay but

i will now that you say that my question is we've

seen how powerful superman is in man of steel

Do you think because of the fact that they're

bringing in Batman who is just an ordinary human

being with extraordinary gadgets, do you think

they're going to decrease Superman's power at

all? Because there have been plenty of memes

and jokes on the internet recently where actually

there was one I shared the other day on Facebook

where Batman smacked Superman like he would smack

Robin and the second part of the image is his

hand broken. Bloody so my question is do you

guys think that they're going to? reduce Superman's

powers in this new movie because it's Batman

or How do we think that would be the worst possible

thing they could do in my opinion? Oh Sorry,

oh, sorry, no, I'm gonna say I'm not quite sure

what to think about the whole Deep hours on a

justice yet. Oh Yeah, I My favorite thing I had

a There's a the the thing from Kevin Smith going

around the suit is actually blue and gray And

I my friend brought it up on Facebook and I said

yeah, but with the color time, it's still gonna

look black and gray Because if you look at the

way man steel was shot and the way they desaturated

everything they The behind the scenes footage

for Man of Steel, his suit is actually Superman

blue and red. But in the movie, it doesn't look

that way at all. Like it's a really, really dark

blue and like a blood red. And that's not how

it looks in real life. Like if you're standing

next to Henry Cavill in the suit, that's not

how it looks. So if it's blue and gray, it's

still gonna look black and gray on screen. It's

just, it's gonna be really bad. Don't know. I

you know like I said three years of Building

this thing up. It just that's too much in their

defense I saw I They had tumblr photos in I Want

to say 2003 for the 2005 Batman Begins There

were tumblr photos out there like full -on tumblr

photos not not like here's something taken from

my Leica camera No like Like, you know the tumblr

like in the woods on the path to the Batcave

like full -on all lit up and everything And I

believe it was 2003 Like fall 2003 they went

up cuz I know it was right before Catwoman Was

showed like they were gonna show off Catwoman

and stuff like that, but And I mean Halle Berry's

Catwoman not not I'm not mixing up my movies

here But yeah that so it's it had really it's

just it's just because the way that the internet

is and how fast information moves That's that's

the only reason why it seems so out of place.

It's not I don't really think it's any different

from anything else I mean Star Wars is just as

bad right now I mean any little piece of Star

Wars news that gets dropped gets shot around

the shot around and that's not coming out until

The end of next year. I mean that's still That

stuff was announced the same time as Like the

man of steel stuff was right, but it just seems

like with Think the Batman stuff is more in your

face because you're looking for that like that

is you honestly I'm not but you but you exist

all your you exist in that Like Batman DC. That's

like your thing. So all that news is like in

your face Whether you want to see it or not.

I mean you might You might not actually seek

it out, but it's probably going to pop up in

your Twitter feed by the simple fact that you

probably follow people that like Batman or like

DC stuff. It's going to show up in your Twitter

stream. So it's going to get bombarded by that

stuff. Whereas mine, I kind of get like it. I

kind of get like an even keel kind of thing.

I see like the same amount of information for

like everything. Because I don't really lean

towards one thing or the other I'm just saying

like maybe you're bombarded by all the Batman

news because when they show off like the suit

maybe your Twitter feed lights up with like 60

different retweets of the same article from like

20 different sites Like all running with the

same thing and where I see it from like two I

mostly get the news from Facebook now. I very

rarely use Twitter for news. Well, it's the same

difference. I mean, Facebook, too. Right, right.

Well, I know, but kind of not necessarily transitioning,

but one of my problems with Facebook and news

is sometimes certain pages, like for example,

not saying they're a bad page or a bad website,

but for example, say, Newsarama has done this

a couple of times. They will post an article

At seven o 'clock in the morning and then I guess

because in case people missed it They'll post

the exact same article as if it was brand new

On Twitter that happens, but they put the in

case you missed it tag in front of it. They don't

do that on Facebook What else do we got to talk

about this week I'm about I'm pretty sure that's

about it We've kind of attacked all fronts this

week. Maybe next week we'll talk briefly about

the Supernatural finale and have something else.

Why don't you suggest something that we talk

about? Because I'm sure we've talked house and

finale of the wazoo at this point. So. Anything

else before we close it out? Oh, I was right

about the Guardians of the Galaxy. I Just want

to say that what about it? The second trailer

is not as good as the first one Isn't that how

it always works? Well, I just I I had the I've

been you know saying that the first Guardians

trailer in my opinion and in you know the opinion

of some of my closer friends it is probably one

of the most perfect trailers that we've ever

seen it doesn't give away too much about the

movie it sets up the tone really well it's funny

it it does a lot of things in two minutes and

30 seconds and every time that i've watched that

trailer like on my phone on my tv you know every

time i go watch a movie at the movie theater

the trailers on there i get the biggest shit

grin on my face watching that trailer and i've

said that the minute they release another trailer

or they start releasing TV spots for this movie,

it's going to start eroding the goodwill that

this one perfect trailer has built up for this

movie. And don't get me wrong, the new Guardians

of the Galaxy trailer, just like the first one,

awesome choice in music. Awesome choice. But

it doesn't... Do anything that the first one

didn't do it's kind of like and a lot of the

a lot of trailers do this It's the same trip.

It's almost the same trailer as the first But

with a little more added to this scene or or

you know that our different take on another one

It's just not It's doing exactly what I thought

it could this one makes me kind of want to see

it a little less than the first one did And not

because of like they show rack rocket talking

or you know Groot you know saying his uh you

know his one line of choice or anything like

that but i just thought that the first one was

so good that there was no way that any other

trailer for this movie could you know could best

that so i just want to say i was right at least

in my opinion i was right so i'm still going

to see the movie because i think it looks great

but the second trailer is not what makes me think

the movie looks great that credit still goes

to the first trailer All right soapbox ended

One thing since I just looked up who is voicing

rocket Face man is rocket really Bradley Cooper

can't even tell He's I I mean I knew going I

knew that he was voicing rocket and This is the

first time I think anyone's actually heard him

speak and if i didn't know it was bradley cooper

i wouldn't know it was bradley cooper okay at

least you know in the trailer he only talks for

a few quick snippets i'm sure like once you get

in the movie and you sit down and you hear him

talk for like longer periods of time yeah you

might know it's bradley cooper but at least in

the trailer it's kind of hard to tell that it's

him and of course you know vin diesel is doing

his best to play the iron giant again They still

need to do a sequel of that movie. They really

don't know they don't They just need to release

it on blu -ray So all right, that's all I'm good
