Super Bowling For Commercials 2024!!

Hey, this is Chuck and Stacy from VeoBuzz Weekly.

And you are listening to GeekCast Radio Network.

They are awesome. Hey there, this is BZ Collins

and you are listening to Altered Geek. You are

tuned in to Steve Megatron on Altered Geek. Hello

and welcome to Altered Geek. I'm your host Steve

Megatron. In this episode, I'll be joined by

TFG1 Mike. Hello. Hello. So in this week's adventure

into geekdom, we have a whole lot planned. And

what I mean by planned is Super Bowl commercials.

So do you watch the Super Bowl? If teams I like

are playing in it, absolutely. If I have no investment

in the teams, no, not really. And I would have

been invested had Detroit actually made it. Absolutely.

100%. They had an amazing season this year for

the first time in God knows how long. 50 years.

Yeah, exactly. It's like a Red Sox drought or

it's like a Patriots, you know, whatever. And

it's like, holy crap, let's go Lions. But yeah,

once they were out. I did not care about Kansas

City Chiefs and Mahomes and bullshit and then

there's the whole and I'm sorry I'm sorry I'll

try to cut that down but there's that and then

there's the whole BS about oh the the Kelsey

Brothers and Swifties and T -Swift like oh god

I would rather just pay attention to every statistic

in the game than pay attention to that BS. Yeah,

I kind of agree with you there. But yeah, there

were so without getting into any specific commercials

or trailers yet, did you find this year's to

be more lackluster? I so compared to previous

years or were there like enough good ones or

was it kind of just like a mixed bag? See, that's

the problem. I, unless you have said, hey, let's

do a Super Bowl commercial show, which we have

only done one or two of, I think, ever, I have

not. In the last two to three years since Karen

passed away in 2021, I've been dealing with too

much life crap. And if the Patriots aren't in

the Super Bowl, I don't care about the whole

McGillicuddy. Don't give a crap whatsoever. If

you or somebody else put, Hey, this was a cool

Superbowl commercial. I'll watch it and I might

laugh and I might not laugh. So when I, when

you made our lovely, um, uh, list here of all

the trailers and commercials and whatever else,

I just put an M plus or an M minus next to the

one I liked or didn't like. I just noticed that

I was like, is it, I was at first, I was like,

did it, did it say mature plus? Yes, yes, we

are even sure that you guys read your network,

don't you know, folks? Yeah, but yeah, that makes

a lot more sense once I figured out it was your

rating system. Well, I like, obviously, we could

rate them with the DCR and rating system, but

that would just take too damn long. We either

like it or we don't like it. Yeah, and I think

for this, I think that's sufficient. Yeah. I

wasn't going to sit there and make you a section

because I didn't know how you felt about them.

I guess I could have and you could have changed

it, but whatever. Well, the thing is, I didn't

even list all of them. No. Oh, boy. Yeah, I listed

some of the ones that were the better ones, like

I didn't list the beer commercials because I

was like, they're kind of, I mean, you know what

you're getting. Yeah. And then. And then there's

other ones that are kind of like some trying

to play on pop culture, but they were really

bad. So I don't, I think it was the super bowl.

I forget. Honestly, the best ad I've seen in

the longest time. It's the Walmart ad from a

couple of years ago where it's kit and it's so

it's all these 80 It's a Ghostbusters car. It's

all these 80s car. They're beaming down. Yeah

Yeah, and they're you know, they're because they're

doing the Walmart pickup or the Walmart whatever

kind of thing So, yeah, that was the best one

I had ever seen to that point and like I said

like really I remember like all those beer commercials

you're talking Talking about, like, I remember

a lot of those kind of things. I love those classic

Super Bowl commercials. And I'll say it right

now, out of the, what do you got here, eight?

You know, you got 11 here. Out of 11, I only

minused two of them. So two out of 11 ain't bad.

No, but I also left off a lot of the ones that

I felt like we both would have been groaning

or head desking at the Uh huh. Well, I can't

head desk anymore. My head's about two inches

from popping out of my skull, so I'm retired.

I'll take over. Well, you're younger than me,

so you still have a few years on you before you

get to a point where you're like, ow, my forehead.

I can still say it. I can still fake the action

of doing it, but I can't. Nope. Well, that's

all right. I'm I'm old too because I wake up

with back pain something new. Yeah. So anyways

getting into the the gamut of The the trailers

here or the the commercials then we'll get into

trailers Dunkin Donuts I love love That they

are using Matt and Ben for all the advertising

because hello Matt and Ben are for Matt. I Wicked

pissa. I'll say that right now. That's it's a

Boston term or whatever. But yeah, I loved that.

That was hilarious. My favorite part was Matt

Damon. He's like, you know, remember when you

said, you know, best friends and calling in favors.

He's like, yeah, this is it. They're naming a

drink after us. It's all right. And then they

had JLo in it, which was even funnier. I was

surprised Really surprised at that. I didn't

think that would happen. But hey, you know there

you go Money talks. Oh Yeah, I I felt like it

was okay. I I found it a little annoying And

again, it's it's what I think it's because I'm

not familiar with like Boston humor. Yeah, you're

a you're a Michigander slash Colorado and so

You know, it would be the same not Tim Hortons

is Canada. What do you guys have in Michigan?

That's super super Michigan day Anyway, yeah,

that's the whole point of Duncan is because it's

a pretty much New England based place I don't

know how far Duncan has spread before but it's

I've only ever known it really up in New England

and it's very New England So but it's in Michigan.

I don't recall seeing any here, but that doesn't

mean that they don't exist. Yeah, sure But yeah,

so there was that yeah, that's funny. So yeah,

we got the the Dung Kings And then we get apartments

.com, which is it's humorous, but it's also Jeff

Goldblum. It's also ID4. I know. He's like, well,

you can rent an apartment here on apartments

.com. Do you like a two -bedroom or a one -bedroom?

Oh, let's go with it. Oh, let's go Oh god, that

was hilarious. That was so funny. I like that

one. That one was good I like any time Jeff Goldblum

shows up. So I'm I was fine. I thought it was

okay Absolutely, and then we get into T -Mobile,

which it's funny because you get the two guys

from I believe it's Scrubs. Yep In a JD and and

and yeah from scrap and Donald Yeah, and I mean

they've done a lot of the T -Mobile commercials

and they sing and they do all this other goofy

stuff and then adding Jason Momoa to it was just

hilarious. I will say I gotta give the guy props

for it because like I would have never done a

commercial like this, but it's it's entertaining

at least and not totally stupid. He did not win

me over until the very final piece, very final

end. Next time, do it with your shirt off. But

yeah, when I saw Momoa, I was like, my eyes rolled

so hard, so hard in the back of my head. I'm

like, Oh God. Cause look, I get it. The guy deserves

all the success that he's had, but he's just

one of those people that is so successful and

is so in our faces right now. I don't want to

see him unless he's doing something outside of

Aquaman. He did Fast 10, so there's that, but

I don't know. He's one of those everywhere people

right now, and I'm just kind of sick of him.

But by the end of the commercial, I was like,

okay, you got me. That was good. Yeah. He was

good, and he was a good sport about it. So it

was really funny, and I was like, okay. As stupid

as it was, I got to give it to him. It worked.

One of my favorite ones here is the BMW with

Christopher Walken. Yeah, I figured. Just because

they're like, well, gotta drive the car. Yeah,

but the look of annoyance on him every time somebody

does a Christopher Walken, like he just was like,

yeah, thanks. Get out of here. Yeah, I'm the

original Christopher Walken. You know what the

crazy thing is? Half the people trying to do

the impressions. Listen to what he just did folks

do it again Wow Yeah, that's 100 % better than

any of the impressions in the and I get it they're

supposed to be Yeah, you can do a good a bad

impression. That's good. Like you don't have

to do a sucky Well, there was the guy that was

the tailor and he did pretty decent But the rest

of them were pretty bad. And I was, I mean, I

can do a, you know, somewhat Christopher Walken.

I wish I could do it better, but it's one of

those things I just am not. It's, it's one of

those things that I practice when I remember.

And then you'd have to really study them. You'd

have to watch. Yeah. I'd have to really do some,

some studying, but I, I love Christopher Walken.

I love his voice and how he. You know, uh, he's

like, um, you know, it's, it's just, I don't

know, like, it's fun how he, how he emotes it.

I don't know. It's entertaining. So I love the

commercial just for that reason alone, but I

think I started really liking him when he was

in that weapon of choice, uh, um, music video,

like years and years ago. That was hilarious.

Uh, but yeah, that, that was where I first like,

Really enjoyed him in in something and it was

funny. So and then we we have like a good neighbor

State Farm is there I love this I figured you

would yeah, I when I saw Arnold like I the dude

does no wrong like anytime I see Arnold I'm like,

okay, this is gold and then they're like say

neighbor and he goes neighbor and Then they're

like no say neighbor. He says yeah neighbor just

like it's written in the paper And they were

using all these words where they like he needs

a hard like are at the end and it's like ah And

he can't do it and he can't do it And you know

what the whole thing about this commercial the

only reason why I like it is because what they

were leading up to Is the ending and I'm like,

oh you bastards And he's like get to the chop

get me out of the top and it's pronounced chopper

and he says like out it is And then it's funny,

when they do the script change thing and it says

to be continued, there's actually an extended

cut of it. Oh, I didn't see that. I didn't look

for the extended cut. I just found it though.

And it's like, and I'll send it to you over messenger,

but it's got Danny DeVito in it. Oh twins. They

do the state farm, agent state farm, you know,

movie premiere. And then they go and, uh, you

know, he says like a good neighbor. And then,

uh, Danny DeVito goes state farm is there, you

know, and then it's this simple and they're sitting

next to it. And he goes, you are a backstabber.

And he says, I am a backstabber. So like they're

playing on the ah and our thing again. Um, and

they, they do a flashback scene where they de

-age them. At the very end and he's like I swear

to be a good neighbor And it's like him young

So I I don't know I love I love anytime Arnold

short Schwarzenegger shows up like these these

legendary icons Like I'm gonna be so upset when

we're not getting anything new from these guys

anymore Because these they just like they have

that memorable voice like Shatner has a memorable

voice Christopher Walken Arnold Schwarzenegger

You know, it's just I don't know they're really

these iconic Hericatures of people but they're

actually regular people. So it's just it's funny.

So I love this commercial I need to watch the

extended cut probably after the podcast but because

I'm not gonna watch it during the podcast I would

know that unprofessional Unless you just muted

the screen, you know. Yeah, but that loses the...

I know. I know. You gotta hear it. You gotta

hear it. You gotta hear it. Because I gotta hear

how Danny's... Because the way I'm looking at

this now is... I know this commercial is made...

It's like Twins. Well, right. It's like Twins,

but like... Wait, I... Because I don't even remember

seeing Twins. I mean, I'm sure I have at some

point or another, but... Yeah, I... I don't know.

Yeah, I'm... I will be watching it, obviously,

so... And then we get the Doritos commercial.

Oh, God. This was... Go ahead. It was just weird.

It was hilariously weird, but it was awesome.

Well, the grandparents, the grandmothers were

named Dina and then Mita. And then it was for

a bag of chips called Ladinamita. Ladinamita,

yep. Yeah, it's just - And then they're crashing,

you know, into the guy's car with their - Their

carts. Their gold carts, you know, and chasing

them across town and... Yeah, it was hilarious

to watch. Crazy action movie and stuff and they're

all fighting over this bag of chips and - Bag

of chips and the girl ends up getting them in

the end and the grandmother's are like... Oh,

no, we must get revenge. Oh, I know. And then

he and then they come down with a scooter down

the electrical line and catch him. Yeah, that's

hilarious. Oh, man, it was so good. And then

their their their granddaughter in it steals

the bag of chips and then they get mad and decide

to go after her again. Of course. Damn kids gotta

learn. Leave grandma's chips alone. Right. And

then we get the Stoke cold brew with Anthony

Hopkins. I didn't love it, but I didn't hate

it either because it's Anthony Hopkins. Yeah,

but... Like, it takes away from the Anthony Hopkins

-ness of Anthony Hopkins, if that makes any sense,

because he's suiting up as a mascot, really?

Like, who couldn't have done something - Well,

this was also made by Ryan Reynolds, so - Yeah,

and that's fine, and I didn't even - I don't

even remember knowing that or whatever, and it

has nothing to do - Look, I'm starting to come

around, okay? I get it, folks. I get it. Ryan's

a national treasure or an international treasure

considering he's Canadian, but I didn't even

know that I don't think at the beginning But

like when I saw Anthony Hopkins, I was like,

ooh It's not mission difficult He'll slide. Well,

this is not mission difficult. Mr. Hunt. It's

mission impossible Difficult should be a walk

in the park for you I'm thinking of Anthony Hopkins

when he was awesome not when they're having him

dress up as a mascot Well, the funny part Is

It's kind of a play on his Hannibal character

to an extent and I'll explain There was a movie

called I think it was red dragon And he was Hannibal

Lecter and so like there's a part like he's dressed

as a red dragon And then he's like cold brew

that births the fire breathing dragon Which you

know, and then he goes yes, and then they're

like Your second half is starting and there he's

like, you know, but it's just it's funny because

he's Kind of sitting there quoting as he's drinking

it and just kind of it gives me like Hannibal

vibes Yeah, no, that's totally meant to yeah.

No, absolutely. Yeah But yeah, I mean I I liked

it but it wasn't definitely wasn't like the Arnold

or like Yeah, it's not what I would go back walking.

No, I like I would go back to the Patrick Stewart

one before I go back to this one. Yeah, we'll

get to that one in a minute. I know. And then

there's Pringles, Mr. P. The lady's like, you

look like the Pringles guy. And then he's looking

at the can and he's like, nah, don't see it.

And then people are posting all over and he's

just kind of admiring it and looking at it. And

then he unlocks his phone with the Pringles can.

And then his agent's like, I have the rule of

lifetime, and it's him dressed as the Pringles

guy eating Pringles with a kid that looks just

like him with a mustache. And this is Mr. P,

and she's like, I gotta cut, and he hands her

the Pringles can. Yeah, that's awesome. I'm like,

okay, that one's pretty ingenious. And the thing

is, is that the whole Mr. P thing and whatever

else is kinda like Mr. T and all that. but did

you know the actual face of the can is an actual

mat like they actually made him it's Julius Pringle

the funko pop of it of the actual like personal

like yeah it's in that so I mean if they want

to replace Julius with mr. P I'm more than happy

with that but I know I thought this martial this

is funny It was it was pretty good. I yeah, there's

very few that were actually really good this

year Like I mean some were mediocre and some

were okay, but this was one of the better ones

And there was a lot of celebrity commercials

this year, yeah The NFL needs that money. Oh

Yeah, and then and then we get to the Hellman's

big game Mayo cat. Yeah and It's funny because

the woman in the I can't remember her name right

now, but she's from SNL Which is why the Pete

Davidson joke is funny but the catch is gone

And that's saying like Mayo and people are like

losing their mind over it and then Pete Davidson's

like this like supposedly dated the cat in the

commercial Yeah, and it goes It's I don't know.

It's just it's it's it's so stupid. It's funny.

Yeah, it was really funny It was really it's

like something I could see in like an Ace Ventura

movie Absolutely, and then we have couch potatoes

because oh my god. Look. I love Pluto TV Pluto

TV is fine. This ad is horrible It is I I showed

this to my wife and she's like this is the stupidest

commercial I've ever seen I mean, you can have

a stupid, funny Super Bowl commercial. She's

like, it was just dumb. She says, I feel so much

dumber having watched this. And I was like, no,

I agree. I'm like, these are pretty bad. And

so we shut them off after that. Yeah, I mean,

I don't have many IQ points left. And I think

I just lost what I had left on this commercial,

because yikes. And then there's the nerds. Nerds.

Hilarious. Absolutely hilarious. That was funny

Yep, and It wasn't the greatest like they were

trying to do like a Almost like a flash dance

type thing with the yeah gummy in this. Yeah,

that's what it was because they were using what

a feeling in it But I liked it and again, sorry

folks. It's just I am I always find a way to

bring up there are three. I actually need to

get the third one There are three funko pop nerds

characters. There's grape strawberry and cherry

I don't have the cherry one yet. So I need to

get that eventually and then the last of the

commercials Figured it's paramount plus Super

Bowl spy and this is with Patrick Stewart throwing

a hail Arnold On the mountain of entertainment

of paramount and you got the guy from survivor

you got drew Barrymore you got a football player

you got I have no idea what team I don't care

but. The dolphins guy yeah and then you've got

the guy from Reno 9 -1 -1 you've got you know

Arnold from hey Arnold you've got master chief

from halo. I'm not sure who the pig character

is it got knuckles and then they've got. Dora

the Explorer all standing here like we're going

to freeze to death blah blah blah and I'm thinking

well Picard I thought I thought it would have

been funnier if Picard would have been like well

after throwing you know hey Arnold and going

well it sucks to be you and then he'd like beams

up and leaves them all there but they didn't

do that and I was like oh but Um, he says, what

about throwing a football shaped head? And he

goes, uh, we throw the child gutsy call and,

and, uh, the football players like, uh, looking

at them and they're all starting to chant, throw

the child, throw the child. Barrymore is like,

no, we won't throw the child. And he's like,

shut your face Barrymore. And, uh, uh, it was

just funny how like, angry he got with it and

Throws off the thing with the football players

like yeah, I can't throw it and then it says

throw the child and Creed starts playing Yeah,

can you take me higher? He's dressed in this

like old football uniform Okay, like England

we need to talk about a Patrick Stewart looks

in this commercial because Holy crap Understand

he is up there in age. I understand. Oh dudes

in his 80s That's why they made a joke about

him like miss quoting all of the sports in one,

right? Yeah, I understand that I get that but

I thought he looked a little bit better and What

he looks like in this commercial and I don't

know if that's part of the joke or not. But you

know, he's he's Considerably aged since Logan

came out and when they had him in Star Trek Picard

He didn't really The dude looked like he was

don't spoil too much of it. We still have an

alter I know but season one and two he just looked

tired in Season three it was like he got his

energy back and he just he felt younger than

he did in season one and two because of just

the portrayal but he has the capacity for it

even though he looks old yeah i know he has the

capacity for the acting it's just he look makes

me sad it does make me sad because i think i'm

as young picard watching you know and the crazy

thing is so go ahead sorry oh no i was fine go

ahead so and the crazy thing about this is as

we are recording this new episode of altered

geek in 2024 We just started recording Altered

Trek, which is our new Star Trek review show,

starting with TNG, DSI, and going into Picard.

And I'm looking at him in season one of TNG,

and I'm like, okay, he looks younger, looks decent.

Man, am I used to him having a bald -ass head.

I'm not used to that season one backflap gray

-white hair he's got. And again, at the end of

the day, it doesn't really matter to me. I'm

not gonna, like, take points off a tv show because

somebody is younger looking with whatever hair

they have but it was just again because i haven't

seen you know tng all that i haven't seen it

in x number of years or whatever so but you know

it was and i can't even there's a whole other

discussion about stars versus stars of yesteryear

versus whatever stars are out now because stars

of today are just whack oh yeah totally totally

yep i'm not gonna argue with you at all yeah

it was it was pretty bad and even drew drew looks

like she's gotten up there i mean i know she's

aged yeah i mean it's just it's hard looking

back at it because it's like we're we're getting

up there too and gonna start decaying at a fast

rate like them. Yep. Unfortunately, but that's

life. That's the way it happens. Yep. It's either

you decay or you're dead. You know, folks, I

don't mind being a current dodge, dead or dying

garage equipment, but eventually you won't be

able to flip me over and read my details. So.

So Picard though, he, Patrick Stewart goes, it's

the fifth quarter and we need to, and we need

a hole in one before the seventh inning stretch.

And the football guys is looking at him like,

dude, I think you got your sports wrong. And

then he says, shut your face, whatever. And he's

like, be brave little one. And then like throws

Arnold and then it's, you start hearing Creed

singing. And the funniest part while they're

all watching is where Creed's singing and Picard

goes, I just threw him high. And then the rest

of them are just watching. And then Arnold starts

singing, he just threw me high. And then he smacks

his face. He's like, I'm good. And then he's

like, what we need is someone made of pig skin.

And then they point it and he goes, oh no. And

then they continue singing. I don't know, I love

that commercial just because it's the most inventive

and funny. Somebody at work showed me that and

I started laughing hysterically when it came

out before the Super Bowl. absolutely so funny

thing really quick is a summer as a as a summer

Wow as a somewhat detour I can talk Creed is

in the middle of their starting a second reunion

so that's why they were even there That commercial

is because they've gotten back together Are you

ready tour is starting in November of this year

with supporting acts three doors down mammoth

V8 V WvH and finger 11 I'm hoping for a new album

hoping well if it'll happen, but hoping so and

then of course We have the movie trailers and

some of them like I don't Some of them I listed

more so just out of the fact that we have new

Sequels coming to things it's pretty much like

other than One movie that's listed that I mean,

there's a couple of movies, but most of them

are either remakes or sequels of something else

There's only one original only one here there.

Yeah, which is Ryan Reynolds And that's why I

look no problem. I'm good. Yeah, no, but it's

funny because they have they have The one guy

show up is John Krasinski And and he's not he's

like you're not the real John Krasinski Yeah,

because the the guy actually it's a play on the

office I've never I've like I've seen some of

the clips like he's screwing with Dwight in the

In the thing and in pretending that he's the

character. So it's it's funny that they're doing

that, but I don't know the movie looks okay So

out of the eight of these I'm basically even

keel. I've got four pluses and four minuses Kung

Fu Panda look I like Jack Black and a lot of

things but I do not care about the Kung Fu Panda

movies Yeah, I feel like it's kind of run its

course. I mean there was a TV show about it for

a while Yeah, we you know, this is the fourth

film in it It seems to be the the year of fourths

Because there's two others that are having a

fourth film in their franchise I didn't throw

in here Beverly Hills Cop 4 Axle. It wasn't too

cool, but it was kind of a teaser. It was a teaser,

and we will be doing a show in the future on

AT &T and everything else because, like I've

said before, I've watched that trailer over 500

times. It's good. Yeah, absolutely. Another minus

for me... Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.

I have never cared. The only time I've cared

about the Planet of the Apes is when they show

up at the end of Spaceballs and that's it. I've

never had any interest. It's not that I don't

think it's bad or good or indifferent. I just

don't have any interest in it. So I didn't care

for that trailer. Well, this is my thing with

the Planet of the Apes franchise. While I don't

dislike it. They started that they started this

universe in like the early 2000s with like Mark

Wahlberg before you and then it's and then it's

kind of just Taken forever because it's all CGI

and they're making it so much more extravagant

and I get it like there was a ton of them in

the 70s and 80s and you know what not but It

has a legacy. It's just that they've ruined the

legacy Well it's not that they've ruined it it's

just they've taken forever to get to the point

like it's like it's like it's it's like Avatar

you know it came out in 2009 and then they're

like this last year they're like oh here's the

second movie it's like dude that was like so

10 years ago it's it's like you should have come

out with this in like 2011 2012 like not 2023

and then it still looked like crap like it didn't

look it looked actually worse than the first

one And it's like nobody asked for it either

So in that that regard like I feel like that's

the case with this and it's funny because it's

still a 20th century studios, which is Disney

Yeah, it's There's that and then you know, we

got Pisters, I don't well we got Kung Fu Panda

for we've got Despicable me for which is illumination

Which I'm looking forward to. 100 % I've been

waiting for that movie. I don't dislike Despicable

Me. There's definitely worse animated films that

could be getting a sequel. There's Twisters,

which it's not even like a sequel. It's just

kind of in that vein. Like it's nobody from the

original as far as I know. editor Mike here so

I've read up a few articles I've read up a few

articles what the hell am I I've read some stuff

online folks and yes twisters is a sequel a standalone

sequel to the original 96 film even though so

far none of the 96 cast are in the film with

it coming out in July I doubt the 96 cast will

be back in it's only February but I don't think

it'll change that much between now and July.

Back to your regularly scheduled altered geek.

God. So, yeah, and I'm like, I didn't, I didn't...

Again, folks, reminder for everybody who's listening

to the sound of my voice. I use trailers to inform

myself whether I want to actually watch something

or not. I saw the original Twister trailer back

in 95 or 96 or whatever the hell had happened.

And... Movie about a tornado that kills everybody.

Okay, not for me. Don't care and Everybody online

everyone that I've seen online on Instagram and

Facebook and everywhere like twisters That's

the name of the quote -unquote potential see

twister. They just added an essay like how lazy

are you? At least it's a movie where there's

two two big f -5 twisters that combine or something.

Yeah, I get it I understand But I won't be watching

that I won't either I think yeah I think there

might be a couple of people or premises from

the original that kind of come back But it's

it's basically a glorified horror film at this

point if I'm very interested in because it reminds

me of drop -dead Fred even though if is animated

guys Yeah, but I feel like it'll be cleaner.

Well, yes, obviously because it's it's I made

it characters and things like that Yeah, but

that's what it reminds me of because if for those

that have seen the ad and those that haven't

Imaginary friend. That's what well is and yeah,

and it's funny because somebody in the comments

of that Trailer goes they're finally making a

movie about grimace Yeah, but I feel like and

this is this is the funny thing with Ryan Reynolds

he gets it Yeah, not only not only in the marketing

of things like cuz he did the you know, the fake

John Krasinski thing in the in the trailer but

also Like he just gets how to make like an original

property and make it fun To where people care

about it and it doesn't have to be tied to something

else Like yes, he has the Deadpool series and

yes, I know they're making another one of day

guy for good Yeah, free guy, but for the most

part like all of his films are standalone and

they're great And it's like a breath of fresh

air considering Hollywood can't seem to come

up with an original idea to save their life.

And so, like, that alone is great for me. Like

I've said before, hey, I've come around to the

guy. Plus, he defends Nickelback, so I'm happy

about that. Once upon a Deadpool. Can't prefer

Marvel movies. We are Marvel. Yeah, but, you

know, you're Marvel licensed by Fox. It's like

if The Beatles were produced by Nickelback. It's

music, but it sucks. Hey, that's it. I'm done.

I've had it. With all this Nickelback hating,

right? You think that makes you cool with the

cool kids in school, Fred? No, it just makes

me right. It doesn't. They're overproduced, formulaic,

ear garbage. Oh, really? You know who might disagree

with that? Facts. 50 million albums worldwide,

11th best -selling musical act of all time, Billboard's

most successful rock group of the last decade,

six Grammy nominations, 12 Juno Awards, those

count, six Billboard Music Awards, two American

Music Awards, one People's Choice Award, Canadian,

and a partridge in a f***ing pear tree. Sorry.

I thought we were just having fun. I didn't realize

it was a... You know, you were, um... You gotta

say, you were nicer as a kid. Tired of living

like a blind man? Sick inside of a sense of feeling.

This is how you remind me. This is how you remind

me of what I really am. This is how you remind

me of what I - Yeah, he did that in Deadpool

2. Yeah, I know, but it's one of those things

where, look, I was wrong. He isn't, he wa - Saw

Van Wilder. I liked Van Wilder. I thought that's

all he had at the time back Which it was at the

time like that's all I know I know I know but

I'm saying like I thought that was the only form

of Acting slash comedy slash whatever that he

was going to like he did like Hollywood was gonna

throw him into all like look I like Adam Sandler

in the 90s. I haven't liked Adam Sandler since

2000 never 51st days came out 2004 And I know

you like Adam Sandler, but you've also Well,

ever since he went to the Netflix specials, he's

been crap. I was going to say, you've had issues

with his films recently, but 2004 was the last

film he ever did that I actually enjoyed watching.

And the rest of the stuff he's done since 2004,

I don't care. I would rather go listen to what

the hell happened to me, the album, what the

hell happened to me again than watch any of his

current stuff. But again, I was wrong on Ryan.

Ryan was more than what Van Wilder just was.

And even the character of Van Wilder was more

than what he was, kind of thing. So hey, I've

already got planned, folks. Steve doesn't know

this yet, but I've already got a whole Ryan Reynolds

Rock and rollin roundtable type thing coming

on studio 2009 But yeah, so I mean I'm excited

for that I know there's They teased and this

was like shortly before Super Bowl stuff. They

teased Sonic 3 And it sounds like Robotnik is

back with shadow In shadow, I think they're having

Hayden Christiansen play Because he's kind of

come back to the fold on acting and he's doing

that he's doing Anakin he's doing Vader. He's

you know, so But I I have heard that Jim Carrey

came out of retirement only for Sonic 3 Like

basically he'll pick up an occasional film here

or there, but he's not like he's done as far

as like mainstream continuing to pump out crap

Yeah, absolutely, but I'm excited for that and

then of course we have the last trailer Last

year Yeah, it's Deadpool and Wolverine or as

Hugh Jackman fixed it on social media Wolverine

and asshole And I love the marketing for this

movie between him changing that Between that

and then we've got I saw on Instagram one of

the one of the posters Where it's one of the

it's the the heart necklace things It's two heart

necklaces one side is Deadpool one side is Wolverine

best friends come together July 26. I Yeah, I'm

that's the other thing folks. He doesn't know

this yet, but we are gonna be doing all of us

That's not we're gonna dub Wow Can't talk tonight.

We're gonna be doing a double shot of Deadpool

with Deadpool one and two so I'm game. Oh, yeah.

I know you are. Hello. I just mentioned the dude's

name and you're gonna do it Don't worry about

it. I guess but yeah, so that it was funny because

they have kind of a they joked in the teaser

One of the the breakdown the trailer breakdown

that it was kind of a fast and the furious thing

with like his group of people First birthday

almost he's got hair which looks horrible on

his character. Thank God. They pulled that off

Well, and it was kind of a gag. I think cuz yeah

grow hair But also he's like make a wish and

then the TVA shows up at his door. Yeah and They

pull out their sticks and he goes, whoa, whoa,

whoa, whoa, whoa, and shuts the door and he says,

is that supposed to be scary? He's like, Peggy

isn't new for me, friendo, but it is for Disney.

And then he looks at the camera and breaks the

fourth wall. And then the TVA rip his hair off

and pull him through the secret door. And he's

sitting there and they're like, did you know

you soiled yourself while you were unconscious?

And he says, Wasn't I wasn't unconscious who

are you exactly? And I'm wondering where in the

timeline this takes place if it's after Loki

season 2 or if it's like some time before that

But you know Wade's there and he's working for

the TVA essentially in this part and he gets

in his In his costume and it looks like they

put him in the movie age of Ultron at one point

Because the snow and the way the effects are

and then they show him the Avengers and the only

one he salutes is Captain America He says if

I smell it which you're stepping in sensei He's

like your little cinematic universe is about

to change forever. And then you see him walking

up to like Wolverine in the the white suit like

gangster Wolverine with the eyepatch thing that

they teased in a comic and He's, uh, it's funny

because there's pieces of hair still stuck to

his head after the fact. Yeah, it is. And they

suit him up. And then where he's throwing the

throwing stars in the, uh, the forest, it's very

much Age of Ultron. Yeah. Uh, during that time

period where they're going to the Sokovia, you

know, to, uh, so I'm wondering if he's going

to save Quicksilver. So they get a speedster

on their side and like, he's basically building

his own, like, enemies of the state of mutant

Avengers and You see the 20th century Fox sign,

you know in the ground like Planet of the Apes

and they kind of insinuate Doctor Doom Even though

that character isn't because he's too low -tech.

Yeah, but they have pyro back from the X X 2

and X 3 in his comic uniform and I love how they

have Wade ducking behind Stuff during the basically

the age of Ultron type fight with the I think

they're TVA members though here Like he's fighting

the TVA or because it was the same guys that

abducted him and he goes wait Yeah Like the like

the first film all over again, which is great

And then you see his body just kind of laying

on the ground and then Wolverine walking up And

then he's like, oh, would you help me up? And

then all of a sudden the shink. So it's funny

because hopefully, folks, we will have a brand

new featured banner art for this episode. I remembered

as we were talking about this to throw in that

picture. I did screen cap that, except... And

I wish I could figure out how to turn this crap

off on YouTube. It popped up the next video and

then whatever his image is for his channel. So

I know you're an art genius when you cut and

do things, but I do have for you that screenshot

of Wolverine in shadow with the claws out. Because

that's just awesome. Love that. Yeah, and I'm

ecstatic that they're going to finally put him

in his uniform. Absolutely. Yep, I'm It's gonna

be a funny movie It'll be interesting because

I know that they're supposed to bring back a

lot of the X -Men Yeah, it's gonna be fun. And

I've heard that they're gonna bring back part

of the Avengers 2 So it's gonna be very costly

for Disney which is probably why it's the only

movie coming out from Disney and Marvel all year

So I'm guessing we're going to get some guys

from other universes that come out of retirement

to play their character again. I wouldn't doubt

it. Hey, man, I'm hoping. Yep. Yeah, I'm hoping.

But yeah, so I think we're pretty much on the

same on the same wavelength here of what we're

looking forward to. Absolutely. Like I said,

Despicable Me 4, I love that franchise. We're

eventually going to do that on Tooncast or Slash

Studio 2009, whatever, at some point. So there's

that. Deadpool Wolverine, we're in. If we're

in, no. So there's that. But yeah, I mean, that's

pretty much all the stuff from the Super Bowl,

but it was spectacular what we got. Was very

very interesting very fun and yeah, like I said

at the beginning when you asked me I'm like unless

my team's in it, which my team wasn't in it,

which is fine. I Don't really care about the

football game unless the Patriots are Even if

they lose I don't care if they win or lose as

long as they get there That's all I care about

and they didn't get there, which is fine. It

is what it is We've got some restructuring to

do with the Patriots, but you know You know get

there we'll figure it out eventually one of these

days I mean Belichick finally retired so Jared

Mayo which is funny with the cat and the helmets

I'm like all as I heard was May because obviously

it's Mayo but like literally I'm first my first

thought was to the new head coach of the Patriots

so all right I think we're gonna go to a quick

ad break and we'll come back to close the show

right after this Hey Jared, I have this idea

for a new show for the network Yeah, what is

it? You know how I liked the 1990s comic book

series the new warriors Yeah, yes. Yes. Yep And

you know how at the long boss crusade we're trying

to get the YouTube channel going Yes, awesome.

Yes also correct Thanks, so how about you and

me do a live stream show about the new warriors?

You've never read the books before and I have

them and so that's a great setup We could give

it a catchy name like come out to play. Don't

you think that's the greatest idea? Sure, sure,

sure Delvin. That's a great idea Just one question.

Yeah, why do you have me dangling off this ledge

holding me by only one arm? Oh Yeah, well You'll

get it soon, I hope. Come out to play. A New
