About this Episode

TFG1Mike, Lady Wreck, and Beatles Diva Hail Storm review IDW's Jem and the Holograms #3, diving into the Showtime story arc. They discuss Jerrica and Rio's first meeting, Kimber's secret connection to Stormer, Pizzazz's meltdown over the Holograms' benefit performance, and the introduction of Clash and the mysterious Blaze. The hosts praise Sophie Campbell's art direction and Kelly Thompson's fresh, modernized take on the characters.

Oh, Frio, he has a bigger vagina than all three

of us combined. I apologize for that. Okay! That

is so going into the comic episode on Monday!

That's fine! Gem here, and I've jumped inside

the pullback to discover the stories in my own

comic, Gem and the Holograms, from IDW Publishing.

Listen in as Mike, Amy, and Nicole give their

thoughts on the latest issue, who are all going

to have a truly outrageous time inside the pullback.

Showtime, synergy. Hello and welcome to The Pullback.

This is Back at You Classics, episode 31. I am

your host, TFJ1Mike. Joining me is Lady Rek.

Hello. Hello. And I call Beatles Diva Hellstorm.

Hello. Aloha. This is yet another Gem of the

Holograms review. This will be featured on both

The Pull Bag and Showtime Synergy. This is issue

number three from IDW Publishing. I'll say one

thing about this book. It doesn't lack in any

aspect except the fact that It doesn't do what

half of the other IDW titles do. It does not

show you the covers on the title page, like on

the creative page where it says Showtime Part

3. It doesn't have the cover shown. Oh, I have

it in mine? I have it in mine, yeah. Maybe they

just don't do that on the digital versions because

I'm looking at the digital version. Ah, gotcha,

gotcha. Yeah. But yeah the the covers for this

one so the First two issues had a total of 20

different covers a lot. Yeah 12 12 covers for

the first issue eight covers for issue number

two this one IDW has gone back to its standard

three covers cover a sub cover and the retail

incentive cover Pick a cover, Amy. Pick a cover,

pick a cover. Although I really kind of find

the, let's see here, the R .I. cover by David

La Fuente, very interesting. I really kind of

like it. I mean, give it a shout out for sure.

I'm going to pick cover A, I think. The Sophie

cover. Because I really just like the girls.

I could totally see that like girls doing that.

It's awesome. Um, I find the, the, the one that

I mentioned, it's just very unique. There's very,

I like how there's so many composition, just

compositionally, how it's going very stylized.

And I'm like, I'm digging it, but I'm like, I

really liked that first cover. So Definitely

giving a shout out to the to the second one.

I'm going hmm I really like that one. Just kind

of got a good vibe to it too. So there you go

What about you Nicole? I have all three of them

But again, I really like The Sophie cover just

because of the colors and it really pops out

the girls look like they're having fun and it

complements next month's issue with misfits Some

some misfits you guys are didn't even pick the

one that has their signature phrase on it Our

songs are better. Oh Man yeah, I gotta go with

the sub cover honestly, it just looks so cool

How they've got them all All four of them on

the center and our songs are better down there

at the bottom. I just absolutely love that. Uh,

so getting into this, we have a lot going on.

Um, so, so much going on. We get a previously

page to catch everybody up. Just in case you

haven't read the other two. If you haven't stopped

the podcast and go read the other two other two

reviews we did. So We should really talk about

how Kelly Thompson and Sophie Campbell because

Sophie also is doing part of the writing She's

you know, she she and Kelly are coming up with

these stories, even though Kelly is the the overall

writer They're modernizing Jim for today's audience

and that includes Twitter and Facebook. I love

it. I think it's great that they're doing that.

And the previously page starts out and we have

multiple panels of, you know, certain Twitter

people. You know, we have the little signature

here and then we have whatever they're going

to say at the bottom. And I just love the way

this is all laid out. Singer girl. Misfits are

so overrated. Next. Yeah, I absolutely love that.

I love it. It's great. I really dig the fact

that we go to the next page to the guest list

and all of the holograms are in stars and all

of the Misfits are in lightning bolts. With Rio,

right in the middle. Okay, now, this is another

thing we're gonna have to talk about, because

anyone that's listened to the first ten podcasts

of Showtime Synergy where we're reviewing the

old 80s cartoon, first of all, go listen to those,

second of all, will know that Nicole has an unbridled

hatred of cartoon series Rio. Yes, I do. Please

tell me you're coming into this with an open

mind when it comes to real Because he's he's

not Exactly the way he used to be he's not exactly

totally annoying me right now Charming in the

comedy. I don't trust him though. I don't There's

something about him. He's just way too easygoing

and I'm not like I'm gonna enjoy it while we've

got it, let's just say that. I'm cautiously optimistic.

He hasn't met Jem yet, so this could get complicated.

Yeah, that happens in this issue, I believe.

He doesn't meet Jem in this. He meets Jerika.

Well, okay. This is why I find him so charming.

But you know in the future when he actually meets

gem well see this thing gem is Jericho's alter

ego So it's like okay. You've met Jericho now

What happens when you meet gem and you think

that she's a different girl now what happens?

So we'll see when that happens Told you ladies

off air about this, but for the for you guys

and for the listeners I have this plan for our

comic coverage here. The first main story arc

of the Showtime story will take up to issue 6.

After issue 6 is released, they're going to start

a new story arc, another, you know, the next

story arc. And I had tweeted around with Kelly

Thompson and asked her, you know, hey, we'd love

to have you for an interview, but I want to do

it after the first story arc. That way, because...

You know how websites, news sites and geek sites

have to be up and current. I've seen all these

interviews and everything else and they're all

great. I'm not complaining about the interviews

that came out before the book got launched, but

I want to know stuff after we've already seen

the first arc and I am going to ask her. Well,

Rio know the secret because holy crap if they

go through and pull a cartoon series Oh, no,

I cannot go through that. I will give it a year

before I really get livid about this. Okay, there

you go. We start out issue three with basically

we're issue two picked up. where the misfits

are in this coffee or at this signing place they've

they've seen uh kimber or yeah kimber and stormer

together and they are not happy about it and

they have their usual wig out trader trader and

we go back to wherever the hell they're living

loft department whatever it is or business manager's

office i don't even know um you know and they're

sitting around watching the news thing and they're

all arguing and you know stormer really didn't

do anything wrong she didn't she just had coffee

with the girl i mean goodness i am going to disagree

right here okay i don't care she was checking

out the competition what can i say Yeah, she

was checking her out, but in the wrong way. Okay.

But it was so right. No, she knows pizzazz and

she knows this would just set her off. And I'm

one of those people. I'm like, you don't mess

with the competition. Not that early on in the

game, at least, you know, it's just so awesome.

I just don't like it. I don't like it. I'm sorry.

I find their logic was pretty interesting. It's

like, hey, we were the distraction from the fact

that you were, you know, chumming with the, with

the, the enemy, you know? So we made this big

deal to basically to put the spotlight on us

and our big deal rather than the fact that you

were hanging out with the enemy. Right. She wouldn't

have been hanging out with the enemy if the other

three hadn't abandoned her to do the damn signing.

True. She could have left with them. Somebody

has to do the PR stuff, right? Yeah. I just,

I don't know. I'm loving the designs that Sophie

has given. Now that we can actually see the Misfits

other than on the covers and stuff, their individual

designs are all so great. I love it. I love Jetta's

little swirly thing on her head. It's awesome.

This is one thing I like that they're bringing

from the cartoon to the comic. They have different

styles. You don't have like the same exact mold.

I love the difference. I mean, Pazaz's hair is

different than it was just a couple of pages,

you know, into it, different. And then, yeah,

it's, I really, really like it. This is her dress

down look, you know. We even get an appearance,

the first appearance in the comic of Clash for

half a comic. I love that. I was really surprised

that they put Clash in so fast. I mean, I kind

of wasn't, but I kind of was when I first read

it because I'm like, hey, Clash is in there too.

Well, they're already an established band, so

it makes sense that Clash would be there. Yeah.

So we have this whole argument and it basically

ends with Stormer just saying, oh, it was just

coffee. It was a little bit more for Kimber though.

Well, yeah, like, yeah. So we go to the next

part of the book where, uh, Jerrica is outside

of some building. I don't know. I assume it's

Rio's building or something or his, I don't know,

I guess. Um, and we've got this little kid on

Rio's bike. I think it's adorable. It is the

adorable factor just went up because it's like,

Hey, he's hanging out with the neighborhood little

girl. That's like, I want to be on your motorcycle.

Can I play on it, please? I want to play Yeah

And I love his and Jerika's interaction here

It it's really fun. It's very flirty. It's not

emo at all. They're just meeting for the first

time so it's that kind of You know first time

you know when a guy meets a girl kind of thing.

I really like that What did you guys think of

the interaction? It was great Like I said, he's

very charming and it's it's got this really awesome

Vibe going on with it, you know, and you're right.

It is exactly as you said It's the girl that

they're out on a date for the first time and

they're very flirty And I liked that. I really

it said it really kind of makes me like Rio I

already write, I like Jerrica just because she's

Jerrica. But it's, you know, it's building Rio

in a good way. So come on, Nicole. I like that

this part of him, like I said, seems too good

to be true right now. Okay. Because it seems

like a typical first date. They're having fun.

They're making jokes. They're getting comfortable

with each other. Yeah, I enjoy, I enjoy this

Rio. The other thing is I could really hear like

I could really hear Jerrica in This these scenes

with him with her and Rio and they're they're

talking and stuff like that I could almost like

I could hear the voice of Jerrica from the show

in this so I was like, okay this this seems like

This seems like I could even hear it out of the

coming right out of the show Yeah, yeah coming

out of Sam's voice I mean I even heard it in

my head when she says so now that you've got

me here What do you plan to do with me and he

says feed you and she says diabolical I can so

hear Samantha Newark saying that Wow, that's

so is her that is such her that that that is

her voice to me so Kelly is writing this so well

Just so so well so they're at this this fair

carnival I guess kind of thing and they have

cotton candy and all that and I mean I just really

enjoy this this opening first date kind of thing

with them where like Think I would almost almost

and I know this is gonna make people pass out

when I say this I would almost be on Nicole's

side for Rio because if they had started it out

like they were already an item like the show

had But since this is you know, they first met

they hadn't met yet and blah blah blah blah.

I'm really digging this I Mean cuz that's that's

the show they had been friends for years This

it's their meeting for the first time and I like

the freshness of that So we're hoping that because

of that it Changes the dynamic a little bit.

Maybe we'll feel less I Swear dye your hair green

you are We go back to We go back to the the holograms

house and Kimbers in love with the enemy and

she can do nothing but yeah, she can do nothing

but sigh all the time I Know that site because

I know I've made it before oh goodness This is

just the cutest. I love the fact that Aja and

Kimber, like, okay, who you're in love with now.

She's like, oh, but she's so gorgeous. I think

it's cute, too. I just hope she's not going to

be constantly like this. You know what I'm saying?

She better not be. The cartoon Kimber may not

come out. Okay. Yeah, I love the I love the panel

where Where Kimber had asks as you where Jericho

met met the guy and I just says at the Starlight

Foundation, which by the way, you're totally

in trouble for bailing. Yeah, I got the text

all five billion of them So we you know You know

we have this whole thing with with Aja and Kimber

and I like this good character developing for

the two characters, and I like how they're essentially

Giving each character or set of care or a set

of characters their own time to shine Where it's

not just about the whole group doing something

and arguing about something where you can have

the one -on -one kind of time with them. I really

dig that. I just told the interactionist, where

did you run off to? Nowhere. I had an emergency.

Emergency? A cute emergency. Just like, oh my

gosh, Kimber, I love you. You can just grab your

cheeks and just go, you're so cute. Yeah. I love

when Aja asks her, since when is anyone out of

your league? She's out of my league. So she basically

blackmails Aja into helping her. And Shayna shows

up. I love the big hair on these. Like, on Shayna

and Kimber, their hair has a life of its own.

I love that though. How they're doing it. So

fun. Yeah. I love that though, because their

hair are, I mean, they're girls. Come on. It's

part of their personality. It really is. Yeah.

So we go back to Jim and Rio and she's kind of

telling him about, you know, her situation in

her life and whatever else. And she's gushing

about the girls. Discussing about everybody like

all of the girl the band in her life basically

And it's it I like it because it's like, you

know, it shows that they're really tight They

really are and he even brings that up says you

you guys are like really close. Yeah, they are

Which means that she's gonna go home and gush

every little detail about you Rio just saying

And we get to the point where he says Then what

it'd be Jerrica and the holograms because they

talk about her stage fright and the fact that

he prefers to first to be on the sidelines and

everything else and This is what kind of that

line when he asks, you know, he says it'd be

Jerrica and the holograms This is what kind of

leads me to hope that Kelly will eventually have

him know This isn't the 80s anymore people We

don't need to have him not in the loop here.

It'll be fun for a while, I guess. You're already

just dreading it, aren't you? I am. Honestly,

if they keep it a secret for a little while,

that will be fine for me. But I don't want to

see them do what they did in the show where they

drag it out for the whole thing. Because I think

you'd be and it'd be fun to just kind of play

in that area in that space for just a little

while that He doesn't know until they finally

decide. Okay. Yeah, we try to we're gonna trust

him. We're gonna give him the the no and then

you know, they'll then go from there and You

know see what the consequences of that are because

a story story -wise you don't want to keep yourself

in the same place forever Try something new.

I mean, yeah, let's let's try it out for a little

bit and then and then we'll let it go that direction,

see where it goes. If they do that, I'll be like,

all right, that's cool. I want to see where it

heads. So I won't be against them keeping him

in the dark for a little while, but as comics

usually do, they kind of shift a little bit quicker.

I'd like to see them and we can keep it fresh

and new and I'd like to see them not keep it

a secret forever. I know I don't I don't know

how far along Kelly and Sophie are in the writing

in the art process as far as how many issues

They've already got under their belt. I mean,

obviously they have to write and do all these

things you know months ahead of time before you

know before the release date obviously, but What

I would like to honestly see is to Say for example,

and I don't know this is gonna happen, issue

four or five he is introduced to Jem or he sees

Jem by the middle or end of issue six, the end

of the first arc, either right then or at the

end of issue seven or beginning of issue eight

is when he finds out. Because, the reason why

I say that is because Raya is supposed to come

in in the second arc and if Raya is going to

know the secret then Yeah, I don't know. It's

just speculation folks. I would like to at least

see it go cuz like Tentatively speaking. I mean

six issues is is half a year Yeah, so another

six issues Would be a year. I would not be against

waiting that long to see a switch up and give

it a year Yeah, I think years reasonable, but

we'll see it depends on what they what they want

to what they're with But they plan to build with

it how long it continues and I hope it continues

for a very long time Don't get me wrong. I'm

not saying hey, I'm gonna I'm gonna predict that

it's gonna fail No, I want this to actually I

want this to be successful Absolutely, so so

we go to the misfits practicing and Again, I

cannot Commend the Sophie Campbell enough on

the colors on the art direction on how they are

conveying the fact that she is pizzazz is singing

and I just love this Her hair takes on a whole

personality when I love it. Well, yeah Yeah,

and then we get god god stop shut up Problem?

Everything. It's not perfect enough for Pizzaz.

No, I love these two pages just for the fact

that Sophie, amazing what she has done with all

the different expressions just in Pizzaz's face

alone. You know, you've got the, oh my gosh,

she's gonna kill someone. And like you said,

her hair even has a personality of its own. it's

just amazing love it now we're kind of getting

into the background of the misfits here because

after she explodes and she says problem everything

the guy said i guess the director or whatever

says you know that we're not even recording sound

right i know that but i still know when we're

off and i can't fake a performance when we sound

like crap Are they really faking performance?

Are they really Millie Vanillie -ing it here?

No, I think they're doing a video, right? Yeah.

So everyone lip syncs in their videos. Look at

Taylor Swift. She can't lip sync. Sorry, all

you Taylor Swift fans out there, but it's true.

Watch your videos. They don't sync it up correctly,

then, is what it is. Yeah. Maybe that's it. And

so, as this is happening, the guy says, you know,

we should really keep going. We're already behind.

And the only thing that comes out of her mouth

is a giant green skull. The skulls that are on

her ears, too. Oh, I love it. Notice that earrings

are skulls. So it's like, hey, she's the skull

queen. I love it. So, you know, she kicked everybody

else out. She needs to yell at the rest of the

band. And not only that, as they start fighting

too. It's just, it's perfect misfit. It really

is. I thought I sounded good. No, you're off.

No, you're off. You're all off. I love it. I

love Roxy's braids too. I love the thing where

it says, where she says, you're totally late,

Stormer. What? No way. If anything, Roxy's early,

says Jetta. What bull? So Pizzazz slumps down

on the couch next to Clash and she looks over

and says, wait, what is that? Nothing. What the

hell is that? And this is where they find out

about gem and the holograms And uh -huh Issue

number four is gonna be explosive just by reading

this one as this is slowly ending I mean this

one is already explosive. She just smashed a

guitar hello I love stormer I'm so glad Rios

not here director I wish we'd been filming that

so pizzazz is having a oh this is the this is

the point where we need to talk about the fact

that gem and transformers is crossing over pizzazz

is having this total you know ultimate meltdown

and She pulls a prowl and she flips the table.

No, the bagels! Not the bagels! And it shows

her flipping a table. Now, I wonder if this was

already in the story that... kelly and sophie

came up with or if this is like some strange

thing from john as the editor saying hey it would

be kind of cool if she flipped a table because

that's kind of idw 80s properties things now

she's basically getting bit out of shape because

clash has got these alerts What the gem and the

holograms are doing and they're gonna be doing

a benefit and they're like, oh because they're

in our show We're they're getting extra PR value,

which now means that they're getting to do benefits.

And why is it us? So and she takes it to the

next level which It's it's pizzazz. She always

goes there, you know Definitely on par for her

Love her panel when they do the close -up on

her eye and she says Jim and the holograms have

to be stopped. Oh, yeah, that's so cool Gorgeous.

Oh, I know It's kind of freaky She's possessed

So we go back to the holograms and it's Kimber

Aja and Shayna And, you know, Aja asks her, you

know, what, you know, they ask her, what's her

name? And she says, Jane. Last name? Doh. Because

Inver doesn't want to tell them that it's Stormer

from the Misfits. Oh, yeah, because it'd be the

same thing. It's like, oh, but she's from the

Misfits! You can't do that! See, that's why it's

bad. That's why these two should not be doing

this. But I don't think that... I don't think

the holograms would treat Kimber the way the

Misfits treat it. I don't know. Asher likes to

throw shoes. That's only when she's asleep. Sleeping

with the enemy, quote unquote. That's not going

to get a shoe to the head. I think that she just

doesn't want to take the heat for making the

decision to, you know. you like this girl okay

but she's the enemy we can't do that i think

that that it would just be like you know kimber's

gonna do what she's gonna do when she falls in

love with whoever she falls in love with they

are just you know but they're gonna they're gonna

try and steer her toward the right thing right

or what works for them but you know what kimber's

gonna be whoever interested in whoever she's

gonna be interested in and i think she knows

some level that she's like look I if I really

like this girl you guys are not gonna make me

not be liking her so I think she just doesn't

want she's hedging her her battles basically

she knows that they probably would frown on that

and she doesn't want to take the heat for that

so she's like her name is Jane Doe she's being

all secretive about it and it's great it works

it works for what's going on and we'll see i

mean it saves the build -up for um them saying

hey are you sure that you should be you know

giving her a heat later and i i kind of like

that it kind of makes the build -up to that um

more interesting because of that So we then we

then cut back to Rio and Jerrica on their first

date And apparently her first date needs have

not been met because she has not won a stuffed

animal yet So they run off to to get Jerrica,

you know a fluffy unicorn At least Amy got the

Despicable Me reference We go back to the Misfits

practicing and Clash kind of walks out on the

practice here and her phone rings and it's somebody

by the name of Blaze. Now, do you know who Blaze

is? I do not remember. Blaze was supposed to

be in season four, but it never happened. She

even got her own figure. Which is hard to come

by But she never did appear in the cartoon even

though she did get her own figure So You know

so Clash essentially says that I need a favor

from you you still owe me and we go into this

monologuing Where we see Rio and Jerrica With

what looks like a stuffed unicorn. At least some

sort of... Are you serious? Are you serious?

It's Rainbow Dash. I thought you said unicorn.

She's a pegasus. Whatever. No, there's a difference.

There is a difference. Rainbow Dash would be

like, no. Yeah, you go say that to Rainbow Dash's

face. So she needs a favor. Exactly. So, you

know, we see Rio and Jerrica riding off into

the purpley night sky. We see Kimber trying to

figure out what the hell she's going to write

to Stormer. We see Pizzaz kind of looking dejected

after she's destroyed the guitar. And the whole

time we have these really, really small internal

bubbles conveying the conversation between Blaze

and Clash, where she's like, no, no, no. You

owe me. Yes, did so. Remember that? I did that

thing that one time. All I can think of is that

one time at band camp. I could tell you that

story. I did go to band camp. I did play the

flute. Me too. I didn't go to camp, I did play

the flute though. I wasn't awesome enough on

it. I wasn't awesome enough to be at camp, but

I did play the flute in band. I went to camp

and I didn't do what American Pie did. I decided

to snort pixie sticks instead. And all this blood

came gushing out of my nose and I couldn't perform

because... I had all this blood on my uniform.

Oh my gosh. What drama. Holy cow. I know. It

was blue pixie stick. So it was kind of freaky

because of like purple blood. Yeah. So there

you go. The insides of Nicole. So we had. Yes,

you are right. It is. It is a rainbow dash because

we see a close up. Right. I am not wrong about

my pony details. No. I'm saying, when we saw

it on the bike, we only really get to see the

rainbow colors. We don't really see the full

stuffed animal. All I needed to do is see a little

wing and a little bit of rainbow in the feet.

I know. I knew it was a My Little Pony. I was

like, oh, she's got a My Little Pony. And then

I saw the end. I was like, oh, it's Rainbow Dash,

yay! Which is awesome because like, you know,

IDW has that property as well. So it's like,

it can totally be a crossover because they have

the license for both. Um, and we have this whole

phone conversation where she's asking her if

she's catering for that big event at the starlight

foundation and whatever else. And, uh, you know,

we don't hear the other side of the conversation,

but she says, why? Because it's Jim, the holograms

first show. And I'm going to make sure it's their

last and we end on a page where Rio and Jerrica

are kissing. That's so girly. Jerrica and Rio

sitting in a tree. K -I -S -S -I -N -G. So that's

the end of this one. What do we think overall

writing and art, ladies? I can't wait to see

the next one. I think overall the art is fantastic.

The writing is great. It's fresh. It's new. I'm

really digging it. And I'm going to keep digging

this for a while. So keep bringing it, man. I

love it. More girl power. Michael I'm loving

it. What can I say? It's so much fun. It's There's

so much goodness in it Like I said, I'm not hating

Rio yet So yeah, I'm like the colors and the

artwork I just it bring out so much personality

in each panel. It's just amazing Yeah, and for

me I this series can do it to this point we're

three issues in and in my opinion it has done

nothing wrong there might be there might have

been a the first the first issue i'd like to

add a couple issues with the first one right

but i'm saying like on the overall with the story

and how the story is progressing the story really

has nothing wrong with it i mean yeah sure we

can you know make little jibs and jabs and likes

and dislikes on the art but For the most part,

it's pretty, it's moving pretty well. I mean,

you get most of the gist of what's going on.

The proportions are really great. I mean, you

know, the face, everything's just looking really

great. There are a few places where I'm like,

oh, that arm feels a little long there, but it

works. You know, it's just, it's little, little

things. They're really, there's, there's so much

harmony going on in each of the panels and how

they've got it going on that it reads really,

really well. So it's just like, you know, I really

can't niggle too much when they have You know

the little things that are in there that kind

of like oh that looks a little weird But you

know for the most part it's just so delightful

The expressions are so fresh and and so raw that

I'm just like, you know, I really like this There's

there's so much to like about it that even the

little things are very forgettable Absolutely

vinyl signed by all four band members, and she

is voted most likely to race you and win. Okay,

four, Gemini Holograms do their first live show

at the Starlight Foundation's annual fundraiser,

but a rabid Misfits fan is determined to sabotage

their performance at any cost. Hey, there's an

Optimus Prime line if I ever heard one. I can't

wait to see if they're gonna do Clash as the

Mistress of Disguise, you know? That'll be fun.

That's gonna be so awesome. Did you guys read

any of the holograms? Read any of the holograms.

Did you get any of the... There's three extra

pages in this that have basically comments from

other people. Sending in. Oh, yes. Yeah, the

letter section. I kind of read it, but I didn't

really read it all the way through. What's up?

What's in it? No, there's some really good ones

in here, but there is one boner. Oh my gosh.

Wow. It's like you've ruined it forever and you

want to know something? John took it in stride.

I know. on you for doing that. You probably won't

publish this. Oh, really? Is that a challenge?

That was a challenge. They threw the gauntlet

down with that one, man. Yeah, so definitely

read the holograms if you get a chance, because

there's some really good ones in there. Mr. or

Mrs. A Floyd, chill your britches, man. Yeah,

really. She's I wouldn't say she, but I don't

know if it's a she. It could be anybody, to be

honest. Whoever you are, don't give me the whole,

you've raped my childhood kind of thing, okay?

You save that for the movie. The comic is good,

the movie. She already talked about how horrible

the movie is, and they're just adding it on to,

you know, the story. It's just like, you haven't

seen the movie. He or she did get something wrong.

Yes, I know. They're not supposed to be sisters

was like, Hello, they so totally were in the

in the show. Did you not watch it? Exactly. Exactly.
