About this Episode

The hosts discuss the current standings and rules for their fantasy film league, analyzing box office performance, Rotten Tomatoes scores, and casting news. They address the challenges of point allocation for major versus minor film roles and clarify criteria for "certified fresh" ratings. The conversation covers the success of Furious 7, Cinderella, and Kingsman, while reviewing underperforming titles like The Gunman, Jupiter Ascending, and Seventh Son. Finally, the group debates how to handle future casting announcements for actors and directors within the league's point structure.

Hey, this is Steve Blum, and you are listening

to the Geekcast Radio Network. kind of a special

episode this week. I'm actually currently on

vacation so we're recording this ahead of time

so you guys can have some content also updating

all the listeners and the film league members

on what's going on with the podcasters of film

fantasy league and to help me do that like we

talked about during the draft we're going to

bring different members on each time we do one

of these updates so I have first off Hiro from

the true bromance podcast hello hey man how's

it going brother Not too bad. Not too bad. It's

good right now because I'm on vacation nice looking

in the future and Also from the simplistic reviews

DJ Valentine. Hello. Boom. I'm like the John

Madden of this thing man. I'm just putting shit

together I'm a video game based on this shit.

It's gonna be awesome DJ I was so glad that you

were you were on the draft episode that we did

for this because I Feel like you and I were well

and probably a Michael Denniston from the warhorse

Podcast we were the the ones that were most able

to juggle everything and not get distracted Yeah,

I studied for months on this And you were managing,

you and I were managing probably about the same

number of lists, so it was definitely an interesting

thing. And that was, like we said during that

record, that was a much more intense and fast

-paced thing than I think any of us expected

it to be. Yeah, I was like, we took that thing

way more serious than I thought it was going

to be. I definitely took it serious. Well, I

know JD had Brendan on... on the phone like via

I don't know if he was texting them or what he

was doing they were communicating back and forth

in between picks and you are managing all your

guys list from simplistic and of course movie

revolt Dan wasn't there nor the Hiro and Barry

so I was trying to manage all theirs and it was

it was a lot of fun but I'm glad that Hiro you're

here for this so that we can kind of talk about

your madness a little bit strategy uh... interesting

strategies going on i think everybody had a bit

of a different strategy especially uh... you

uh... tim from first -time watchers uh... we

everybody had their their way that they went

so want to see how it all plays out in because

of tim's method obviously he basically haven't

participated in uh... because that's what happens

when you draft the entire roster of the avengers

in star wars and either one of those films has

come out yet he's going to be that later rush

here in december when he when he's racking up

some points and yet like a bunch you guys are

right now for furious seven uh... but basically

how we're going to do this guys is we're gonna

just kinda ticket Quick overall update look at

the standings, which movies are doing good, bad,

which actors are scoring us points and not scoring

us points, maybe some surprises that we have,

either good or bad surprises, and just kind of

give an overall update at that. Then we're going

to talk some business a little bit, some questions

that have come up from different people. I've

gotten emails from different people or direct

messages on Twitter about this or that, so we'll

try to straighten as much of that out as we can.

And then we'll, in the last little bit, we'll

just talk about some of the castings so far because

part of this whole process is you can gain points

for being cast in things in the future that we

didn't know about when we did the draft. So we're

going to have to kind of break that down a little

bit and let everybody know how that's going to

work out throughout the year. It feels like that

category has a lot of room for a lot of points.

Now, when I was going through my numbers, like

going through, I was like, wow, I'm actually

putting up, like, from what I think, I'm putting

up some points by all these announcements that

are coming out for all these people. It's really

surprising. I didn't even consider it at all

when I was putting together my list, but now

I'm like, oh, wow, cool, I'm getting all these

points. I didn't consider it as much as I probably

should have either, because I should have drafted

a much younger group of people. Because it seems

like every casting is for the younger version

of this or the younger version of that. And I

have a bunch of old people on my team, so my

bad on that. I guess one thing we can talk about

is what we learned over this. So that'll be something

that'll be interesting there. So start with DJ

real quick, just to give your general thoughts

before I kind of give an update. What's been

your experience so far with this? What are you

surprised about, learning about? throughout this

whole process. I've learned that I'm rooting

for films that I detest. It's just like real

fantasy sports. It's like real fantasy, like

I'm watching it be like me popping on NFL ticket

or whatever and I'm watching the Raiders versus

the Rams. I don't give a crap about either of

those teams but I have one of their players.

So now I'm watching hoping Fifty Shades of Grey

does well, just so I can get a Dakota Johnson

point. I felt like I betrayed my own morals rooting

for that happening. So yeah, you'll find yourself

rooting for films that you would never in a million

years want to succeed. So yeah, that's what I'm

just... The biggest thing I've learned is how

I can totally be terrible at something I came

up with. You'll find out when we give the standings

update here, but I apparently don't understand

my own rules. It's a long year. We got time.

You know what? This is honesty. I want to give

you kudos, man, for coming up with this. I mean,

from looking at it, it's a huge endeavor because

when we play fantasy sports, you know, Yahoo

or CBS Sports or whoever, they have already established

structures. I mean, these things have been around

forever. You came up with this fresh off the

top of your head. And yeah, it's a work in progress.

Obviously, some of us are like to bend the rules

or jump through loopholes, but it's a really

good structure so far. I like it so far. Yeah,

and obviously there are I'm sure there will be

changes for year two and three and four But the

same thing happens with with fantasy sports and

stuff like that We just rules every year in my

football league So hell man, I got to give you

kudos for even coming up with this thing and

putting it together man and running it this whole

time, dude I know what a pain in the ass to be

is to be a football commissioner. So no, you

know kudos to you brother Yeah, I've been I've

been a commissioner for our fantasy baseball

league for we started at my first year college

So that's been going for I don't know. I don't

want to date myself here, but 14 15 years now

And I just got nominated as a commissioner the

first year and I've been ever since and luckily

You know, like you said a lot of those systems

are somewhat already set up. So you don't have

to do a whole lot This one I'm figuring out ways

to make it easier for myself because the first

time I went to do updates I was like, oh good

god. What did I get myself into? Just last night,

I came up with an easier way on Excel, some easier

spreadsheets to help me out. So I got to... The

thing is, for me, obviously I'm looking at all

12 teams, so I'm looking at 120 different actors.

And I guess my biggest fear is that I'm going

to shortchange someone, like someone appeared

in a movie that I just don't know that they appeared

in it, or I missed, especially with the smaller

films. Well, you know what, that's up to the

team owner, bro, to come with it. went through

my list today, I put it together as best I could,

and I sent it to you, like, hey, it's on me if

I missed something or if we missed something.

It's rude. And I'll be sending those updates

out and the standings out, and then hopefully

people can scan it over and see if I'm missing

something. Because the hardest thing is, like

I said, those smaller, real low -budget, limited

releases. Because some of those might flip through

the crap. And the cameos. If you have a secret

cameo that you haven't even know about, it comes

out of nowhere. If you have a Bill Murray zombie

land situation, sorry I had to spoil that. You

got Diesel Ramos on your team. uh... oh yeah

or what he's friends guys that uh... or a surprise

appearance by uh... mark hamill that nobody knew

about uh... i have another one that's all of

those things happening uh... you could lose track

real easy but uh... hopefully my new system's

gonna work even better i get and i get the standings

updates out to you guys uh... quicker arm and

i do that again a little bit credit by the movie

revolting from talking in circles and and the

weekend at the movies with me because it was

it was uh... kind of a collaboration we had throwing

idea back and forth at times we've been actually

looked at different sites that let you set up

fantasy leagues through them and just didn't

seem like any of them were going to work for

what we were trying to create so we didn't go

with any of those you know this opportunity right

but i i just thought it would be fun like you

just said it gives you interest in maybe some

ways you wouldn't be interested in it and i think

my biggest thing for doing this was uh... also

kind of the group type thing and get us all together

to do stuff and kinda You know shoot the shit

with each other and banter back and forth so

I you know the little community that we've built

up so yeah Yeah, man, and I was pleased to how

many people were interested in doing it So hopefully

it'll work out and we won't anger anybody along

the way and like you said we'll make some changes

for you, too And it'll be fun. Yeah, man before

man. It's got to be the longest fantasy ever

Baseball is pretty long. This is double baseball

Yeah, pretty much. This is a year -long endeavor.

But to give everybody a quick update right now

on how the standings are, and I believe this

is up -to -date, I did it last night and then

I had to adjust for some box office numbers from

the weekend, obviously, with Furious 7. But currently,

right now, if you're looking at what team is

in first place, I'll give you the whole breakdown.

Right now, Hiro, you are currently, as according

to my points, and like I said, these are ever

evolving things and we'll talk about how much

they can adjust, but right now you're sitting

in first place with 17 total points on my list.

What? I have like 29 written down on my list.

Remember, we haven't added any casting points

yet. We're going to discuss it. We haven't added

any casting points yet. Another thing that I

guess I didn't know as much is how often some

of this stuff changes. Now, it's pretty easy

with box office. That's pretty cut and dry. I

could either consider it doesn't and those numbers

are readily available. But the Rotten Tomato

stuff changes so much. Like I have movies dipping

down and then bouncing back up after a month.

And then it's, you know, even some of the movies

that came out back in like January, they were

steady for like two or three months. And then

all of a sudden you'll see like a spike or a

drop, you know, based on whoever submits their

reviews for those things. So a lot of this is

ever -changing. But right now, Hiro, you are

in first place. According to my points, right

behind you would be the War Machine versus War

Horse entry from Michael Denniston. uh... according

to my point is on the one behind you and then

we'll see what we wanted to do here is we wanted

to bring the best of the best in the worst of

the worst could be jr in third k alright so that

first place in third place represented by the

long time i i'm going for the awards some people

rank on i hope that's what i'm doing uh... yes

i was at seventeen points michael is at sixteen

dj here at eleven right behind you is uh... with

from which movie reviews at ten Then we got Barry

from True Bromance at five. Tim, first time watchers

getting, he does have two points thanks to that

Mark Hamill cameo, so he is actually on the board

prior to. Give him a couple weeks, he'll be fine.

He'll be soaring up to the top. Matt from Simplistic

Reviews has one point and those are the, that's

the end of the positives. Then we got Moving

Revolt Dan with negative one. Matt Ridley at

negative one. Justin from Simplistic Reviews

at negative two. JD from in session negative

four And like I said the best of the best and

the worst of the worst I'm pulling up in last

place right now with negative nine What the hell

happened? Yeah, that's a good question Going

over some of the movies though that that are

the best ones so far to have an actor part of

obviously the best movie anybody have a guess

the best furious furious seven probably Furious

seven is the is the biggest point gainer right

now for actually a lady and a gentleman Yeah,

who don't have it in one line. If you had an

actor or a director involved with Furious 7,

then that gained you, just for that movie alone,

gained the person 7 points. I have the star!

I have the freaking star! It doesn't matter!

Iggy, Ziggy, Azalea, baby! And I have, um, I

have Kurt Russell! Oh yeah, Kurt Russell. Well,

Kurt Russell is in the movie. That counts. Yeah.

And the points you didn't expect for Furious

7 is, okay, just past what, 250 million. So you

get the four box office points so far, and obviously

a point for them appearing. I didn't necessarily

expect the 82 % Rotten Tomatoes score for Furious

7. Well, Vinny did say he was going to win an

Oscar, so maybe this is the first step. I'm shooting

for that, dude. Look at that. It's going to help

me out even more. Hey, who's the lead, baby?

Who's the lead? It's a circle crown right there

the the budget the tomato rotten tomatoes and

the Oscar so great The next best movie would

be Cinderella if you had somebody involved in

Cinderella. That's a five -point movie do Because

it did make a little bit of money and it is also

eighty four percent rotten tomatoes Nobody went

with an actor for Spongebob that would have been

a good movie to have somebody involved with who

knew that in Spongebob But there's the only one

I know Yeah, it's mostly voice actors and stuff

like that, so not a lot of people would select

that. And then DJ, your early claim to fame was

your entry in the Paddington movie. Yes, Ben

Weshaw just stole it. I forgot, you told me that

he was in the movie, I forgot. Oh my god, he's

in that movie? Awesome, great. Who did you draft?

Ben Weshaw, Q from The New Bond. Ah, okay. Yeah,

yeah, yeah. So he was the voice of Paddington

the Bear, so gain DJ some points there. Other

movies that give you positive? McFarland, USA.

Hiro, you said you saw that one. I love that

movie. It's near the top for me for the year.

Yeah, so that that one gotcha would have got

somebody some points of Black Sea it follows

because it's currently at a 95 % Rotten Tomatoes

some of these nobody has people in but these

are the other movies that would get you some

points Kingsman the Secret Service I've see that

passed a hundred million and insurgent also passed

a hundred million. So even though it Didn't get

great reviews. It still is a point earner for

people in the league War Machine draft Samuel

Jackson. Is that why? Yes, that's why that's

what I figured because if you have Sam you're

gonna probably get him and then you're gonna

get Avengers on top of that You're gonna you

right. I want to say I got two guys in the Kingsman.

Don't I I got Lee Holland and diesel Ramos My

dreams Lee Holland's been in two movies right

now and diesel Ramos has been in three So these

guys man. Yeah, they're so busy standing back

behind the actual actor Then there's a lot of

movies in there that are kind of just break -even

movies that either one pointer is zero or negative

one and the worst movie is to have people involved

with. Black Hat gets you a negative two gain.

And then... Mordecai? Where's Mordecai yet? Mordecai,

nobody drafted in that would have been the bottom.

Nobody in the movie got drafted. There's actually

a five -way tie for the worst movie you could

have somebody in. Mordecai, The Gunman, Unfinished

Business. business uh... seven son and jupiter

sending you think somebody with a draft of interest

bill book or i don't have ever been there for

some i have somebody in in the gunman but i'm

not sure uh... it's what when you're doing offer

you may be oh yeah you have him to uh... once

again let me meet me in those jupiter sending

seventh son Unfinished business the gunman and

Mordecai. I have somebody in the gunman seventh

son and Jupiter's Now do it Do you have any red

main? No, it's like this every time he talks

I had Julianne Moore who some for some reason

decided to be in the seventh son what two years

ago though two years ago I had Sean Bean who

made an appearance obviously in Jupiter ascending

and then my number one traffic Idris Elba I didn't

know gunman was gonna be so bad Looking at that

cast from the get -go I would have swore that

was gonna be a good movie and we decided to review

for the show way in advance because I mean had

such a stellar cast and Wow was that bad and

the movie is not good. I like it really that

awful I just hear bad things the last a third

to half of that movie just destroys it. There's

a bull I'm not even gonna get into that spoiler

territory, but it's Would say it's it's so ridiculously

unbelievable towards the last 45 minutes. Yeah,

like the beginning was okay I mean like kind

of the setup was all right, and it could have

gone somewhere It could have had potential and

it just didn't they're trying to cash in on the

Jerry action racket that Liam Neeson has I'll

tell you what though Sean Penn looking jeez Wow,

man, I want whatever he's taking it wasn't for

his face He looked like a 27 year old he's banging

Charlize Theron right now, so he's got to keep

it up, so So one thing that we're gonna have

to probably get into here is a question about

before we get into the diesel Ramos question

First question is is about budget because I have

a question to kind of throw out to you guys to

get your opinion on and then obviously those

listening and the other members of the league

can weigh in after they hear this episode, but

the league we saw when official like superheroes

The League can chime in and give their thoughts.

But when it comes to budget, my question is,

it's set up like this, as we set up the rules.

Obviously, if you make $100 million, you get

a point, et cetera, et cetera, all the way up

to $400 million. That's simple. Then the other

category was negative points if it makes less

than the budget. or if it makes less than half

the budget was a was a stronger negative and

you would either get negative two or negative

three depending on how much you tanked as far

as money goes because I wanted there to be a

penalty you know if you're if you're picking

people that are in bad movies and flops etc my

question is there's a lot of smaller movies that

I don't know how fair it is to judge based on

that and what I'm talking about is Stuff like

the last five years with Anna Kendrick, stuff

like Maps to the Stars, stuff like Serena. Indie

movies you're talking about? And those types

of movies that kind of don't even have a stay

at the theater. They're either very limited release

or they kind of do the direct to video slash

on -demand route. Because technically, if my

information's correct, even like the last five

years has a two million dollar budget. But at

the box office, it's only made like a hundred

thousand limited release, right? So should that

really count as a negative three for making them

come on to the heater? Is it gonna come on to

here? Yeah, if I think if it has a limited like

release You should probably this is me this phone

shit out there. Maybe just limit it to rotten

tomato score And then we get into like slippery

territory where you're making judgment calls

rather than black and white Well, maybe pick

up like a cap number like your budget has to

be over this amount or something right, right

But in reality, I mean just like everything else

We have to kind of go by what we drafted off

of you know what I mean? Like it's hard to kind

of change midstream. I could agree with you like

in the future I'm saying like yeah, I know I

agree in the future for sure We would have like

a low cap. Maybe like you're saying Right, or

if something doesn't get a major release, the

budget numbers don't necessarily count. Or could

we include the VOD numbers if it doesn't get

a major release? Right, because I guess my only

thought is, you know, if you're looking at, I

think, maybe JDE. Does Black Sea get a wide release

with Jude Law? No, it didn't. I don't even know.

It went VOD. When we write so the movies that

was like right now the movies in question would

be Black Sea we have Hold on one second diesel

rambles is not in it just to the stars the last

five years Serena with Bradley Cooper and Jennifer

Lawrence You know those are some of the ones

that come right off the top of my head But you

know like JD he is in second -to -last place

But that's really only because he has Jennifer

Lawrence who's in Serena. Yeah And technically

that movie only made one million dollars at theater

because it was such a limited release But its

budget is higher than that. So he's getting negative

three points for Jennifer Lawrence from Serena

You know, I don't I don't necessarily know how

fair that is Those movies aren't even made to

make money. Those movies are made to get awards

That's why I'm saying maybe limited to or figure

out a way just to limit movies like that for

Rotten Tomatoes scores. You can still get a point

for appearing in it. You can still get the Oscar

stuff. You can still get the awards things, the

Rotten Tomatoes. I just don't know how fair it

is to keep track of the budget numbers for things

that don't actually get. You know what? In reality,

maybe we just do away with the negative points

on the budget and just stick to the positive

points. Because, like you're saying, those films

are not going to make a lot, but they're also

not going to lose a lot, you know what I mean?

So maybe we just do away altogether with the

negative, like the less than budget or the less

than half budget piece. That pretty much evens

the playing field right there for those smaller

movies. Because he'll get points, like you said,

for appearances and all that stuff, but he's

not gonna get any points for money, like making

money. Yeah. Right. So to me, something like

the last five years, which like I said, only

makes 100 ,000 on a $2 million budget, is much

different than Jupiter sending, which only made

47 million on 176 million budget. Yeah. Stunk.

Oh my god. You know what I mean? So I don't know

if it's fair to give them both of the same negative

points. Right. Right. And I agree with that too.

Maybe next year we just do away with the negatives.

I don't know. so so that'll be something for

everybody to weigh in on and something that will

have to decide cuz like i said it could be skewing

things a little bit for the some of those people

that are in those limited release uh... release

films i will have to do some extra research to

to make sure my budget numbers are correct uh...

box office mojo gives budgets on most films but

there's some that it doesn't i'm dvd as well

for some of you know i'm not who uh... i don't

know how we keep our accurate wiki is but they

do but right now So if and I'll put these numbers

out there in some form so people can review them

and if they if they find different you know if

their research on their own actors and their

own movies that they're involved with show different

numbers and obviously we can we can adjust going

forward but like I said the positives on the

box office is pretty easy to take you know you

make 100 you make 150 million that's what it

is and so far Furious 7 is the only movie that's

eclipsed the 250 million mark. We do have three

films that have eclipsed 150. That would be Fifty

Shades of Grey, Cinderella, and Spongebob. And

then the ones that have... Where's Kingsman?

Where's Kingsman on that list? Kingsman is at

123. So Kingsman, Insurgent, and Home all eclipsed

100 million so far. Insurgent made 100 million?

Why? Ten so far. I'm hoping for Kingsman to get

that last little 20 million so I can get that

one more point for my guys. I'm rooting for that

movie in general. That's me separating myself

from the league. I love that movie, so I'm kind

of like, give him more money. I don't think there's

anything else that's real close right now to

eclipsing anything. Taken 3 is not going to make

enough money. It's at 89 million. I'm pretty

sure it's done making money. As far as rotten

tomatoes, that'll be something else that will

kind of adjust here going forward. But like I

said, that's something that changes every week,

every day. Those numbers can go up and can go

down. Are we going to discuss the certified piece?

Yeah, well, and I will have to look back, too,

to see the actual certified because that's what

it says in the rules that they're certified rotten

or they're certified fresh. Now, when I wrote

that, I assumed that those were both things.

And then when I went to do my first update, I

couldn't find anything that said certified rotten,

so I'm like maybe I just made that up and that's

not a real thing that exists. So for a while

I was just counting anything that was under 25

% as certified rotten, but we will have to look

back because, Hira, you're saying that they do

actually have a certified rotten label. Yeah,

a little stamp, a little golden seal that they

apply to the tomato or the splat, and that's

how I did my list. So some of that stuff will

be adjusted accordingly, because right now anything

that's under 25 % was getting negative points,

so it will adjust those that don't have the actual

official stamp. Maybe my 50 Shades of Grey will

get off of that list, maybe. Because it's at

25 % right now. Yeah, and I know it's a horrible

movie. I knew it was going to be like a trade

-off where I was going to get the money from

the budget thing, but I was going to get slammed

by the reviews. The best Rotten Tomato scores

from the movie so far this year. It Follows is

at 95%. Paddington is at 98%. While We're Young,

which is just hitting things, I think, is 86%.

We have Cinderella, 84%, Furious 7, 82%, Black

Sea, 81%, Danny Collins, 77%. Spongebob 78 and

McFarlane USA 79. So those are the best Rotten

Tomatoes movies so far That's gonna come down

to probably to like low 70s at the end of this

run. We can only hope It's certified it has the

little seal but then you look at something like

Kingsman it doesn't have the little seal Right

now and well that one's at 74. So the that one

Wouldn't have been above the oh, it's usually

once something hits 75. It gets the seal, but

you know, it's not it's not a for sure thing

It's not a hundred percent. Oh gotcha gotcha.

Okay, so, you know like something like Danny

Collins right now, which is at 77 % As soon as

it the other thing is if it has enough reviews

some of that stuff You know if it doesn't have

enough reviews yet and could have a high score,

but it's not certified yet Okay, so usually once

they have their X number of reviews and it's

over 75 % That's usually when it gets certified.

But like I said, it's not a that's not a hundred

percent of the time that you And the worst reviewed

movies so far. We'll just give you the ones that

are under 15 % here taking three at 10 % the

Lazarus effect at 14 Boy next door at 11. Oh

my god a great movie great film Stefan's son

at 13 The Gunman at 14, Mordecai at 13, and Unfinished

Business at 11. So those are your worst Rotten

Tomatoes movies. I guess you want to interject

here one second. I'm actually on the Rotten Tomatoes

site and I scroll down to the bottom and it has

a definition of what a certified fresh pick is.

Read it for us. It says, movies and TV shows

are certified fresh with a steady tomato meter

of 75 % or higher after a set amount of reviews,

which is 40 for movies, 20 for TV shows, including

five reviews. from top critics. So there you

go. That's what makes it sort of fun. That's

the exception, because if it doesn't have that

five from the top critics probably. Exactly.

So I was almost right with that. There you go.

Nice. All right. So. Any surprises so far DJ

on which movies have done well or not so well

either from a Rotten Tomatoes or from a budget

standpoint? Like what's the biggest surprise

this year so far for you? You just blew me away

with that Insurgent made that much money crap.

I'm happy for Kingsman because I really I have

nobody on that in that movie but I was so happy

because I like love that movie a lot. Insurgent

making money is crazy. Paddington being actually

good is I didn't even... That's stunning. Wow

and I heard it was like a really good... movie

and like I'll never watch it probably but I hear

it's good so yeah a lot of those movies Fifty

Shades of Grey was the most predictable movie

of the year I knew it was gonna make money and

everybody who read the book was gonna see it

and then after that nobody else was gonna see

it and that was the end yeah yeah that's a pretty

dramatic drop -off for their box office performance

there well compared to Furious 7 I gotta say

Furious 7 is surprising me somewhat I knew it

was gonna make money I don't know let's be honest

man I mean Paul Walker passing away. Yeah has

the dark night thing propelled that I mean the

movie it was gonna make a lot of money I mean

there that well, yeah, I thought it would make

this much money I didn't know it was gonna do

it in 10 days and I kind of had a from what?

The word of mouth is going and from the Rotten

Tomato stuff. It stands to keep going I mean

I you could see it 300 350, you know, it's gonna

run till Avengers comes out. It's gonna run That'll

be the death blow for it. Probably when does

Avengers come out? May 1st Yeah, I think there's

some limited releases like on April 30th or something

like that. So we'd I got a few weeks Yeah, that

was a you know, we did our box office prediction

at the end of the year movie revolt Dan myself

and Matt Fridley and I had Furious 7 coming in

eighth overall for the year and the other guys

had it coming in seventh I think we all kind

of didn't give it enough credit. So We'll have

to wait and see. Hiro, any surprises for you

so far at the theaters this year as to what worked

and what didn't work? Yeah, Gunman obviously

is one we talked about a little bit earlier where

I could have sworn that was going to be a big

hit with the cast that's in there. I mean, Bardem

is a favorite of mine. Sean Penn is in there.

Idris Elba is in there. Cool presence. Is it

fair to say Idris Elba is in that movie? Is that

fair? I think I saw him. It could have been DJ.

I'm getting massive negative points for him appearing

in a movie. Come on, I'm the owner. The owner

scored a touchdown. Come on, let me get those

points. I just hope it doesn't even need to be

in that movie though. Not at all, not at all.

He's there to have his name on the marquee and

that's about it. Lose me points, that's what

he was there for. I'm very shocked at Cinderella.

I mean, I know it's a kids movie and I know kids

movies typically do well But that movie as far

as also the reviews and that stuff I'm very surprised

at that, but you know all in all I mean things

are going as planned for me He's in first place

so things are going as planned. You stole mine.

I went with a blast tactic. Pick guys or gals

who are in as many films as humanly possible.

You have the most appearances so far out of anybody.

You've had 11 movie appearances. It's going to

keep climbing because I've got guys in Star Wars,

I've got guys in Avengers, I've got all kinds

of nonsense coming up. Yeah, the closest to you

is myself and and Barry which each have six movie

appearances, but you're at 11 You can't score

a point if you don't swing the bat so we got

to get a bat up there You got to be in the movie

first exactly Yeah, I think I think like said

you stole mine gunman's probably one of my biggest

surprises on the negative aspect of things and

If it was coming to the positive aspect I'm surprised

like you said at the reviews for Cinderella the

money for Cinderella. Also surprised that McFarland

USA went over as well. Love that movie. As it

did. Did it get his money back in the theater?

Yeah. Okay, I didn't know that. Yeah, it like

doubled it up if I'm not mistaken. Yeah, it's

budget. McFarland USA had a budget of 17 and

it made 42. Oh, good for them. It's a really

good movie. If you guys haven't seen it, it's

Disney or whoever. I think it's Disney, right?

I mean, it's Koster doing sports. Yeah. It's

got a great story and it has one of the Best

where are they now sequences at the end of a

film that you'll ever see? Sandlot style. I shit

blind spot. I've never seen the Sandlot. What?

You're fired. Sorry. But no McFarland USA just

surprised me because you know with sports movies

a lot of times those are overly cheesy. Especially

if Kevin Costner is involved. How dare you? He's

not involved in a lot of sports movies, but Draft

Day, you know, stuff like that. Hey, Dad, you

want to play catch? Come on, man. Yeah, he's

in Feel the Dream. Oh, I'm back in the day, great.

For the love of the game. Oh yeah, come on. It

started, I'm talking about more recent times,

I'm not talking about the old classics. It was

just Draft Day. You like that? It's okay. It's

not bad. Okay, so let's get to one of the other

big debates that we need to have. more so maybe

for next year than it is for this year but I

sent this out to the league and I got a lot of

email responses probably like 12 in less than

two hours and I just for the record I'm not trying

to change rules midstream I'm not even trying

to say that these people shouldn't count my question

was and we're talking about credited versus uncredited

actors my point is if somebody's in a movie they

should get the points that's how the rules are

up That's how it's supposed to be for this year.

I support that 100%. My only question, and this

is from someone who, you know, I work with a

voice acting website and we have to spend a lot

of time trying to verify credits, and my question

was not if these guys should get points if they

appear or not. It's how can I prove that the

person appears or not? And a couple of these

guys, because like Diesel Ramos for you, Matt

Fridley has a guy named Joe Crest. Who are these

people? My number one pick is Lee Holland, overall.

Sounds like names that, like, spies use when

they're checking in the hotel rooms, yeah. My

problem is not that they're extras. My problem

is not that they're unnamed characters. My problem

is, do we just trust IMDB 100 % that if it lists

somebody as an uncredited character that they...

did appear in that film. Well IMDB is the gold

standard, I mean, isn't it? It's what we all

go to. IMDB has it wrong than you would imagine,

actually. Way wronger than you think. Yeah, it's

not Wikipedia wrong, but like I said, this is

just from my experience with the voice acting

website, because we've spoken with people that

are like, no, IMDB has it wrong, I'm not in that,

I'm not in this, blah, blah, blah. That section

is ridiculously inaccurate. Right. And it's a

user -submitted thing. People can submit stuff.

I mean, it's not like it does have some regulations

so it's not as easy. You know, you can't just

go on Wikipedia and change the whole page for

Wizard of Oz to whatever you want. Jizz or the

laws. Jizz or the laws. Somebody did that for

April Fool's Day. Somebody changed the whole

page. But for IMDB, it is user -submitted. I

have seen at times where there's uncredited roles

that are just ridiculously wrong. So Mike, I

have no problem. If somebody appeared in the

movie, I'm all for giving them points. But I

think obviously going forward, I don't know if

we have to make the rule that it has to be at

least credited. I don't care if it's an extra.

I would say, yeah. I mean, I'd say if I've always

taken IMDB, you know, it's the best thing that

we have. It's the best tool that we have, I guess.

But if there is so much disparity, I would say,

yeah, let's do credited. It has to be, you know...

Because then you can see a name and a credit,

and you don't need to identify the person. Like,

obviously, you know, if Tom Cruise has a cameo,

I don't care if he's credited or not, we all

know it's Tom Cruise, or whoever. You know, some

of these other guys, if they're playing, like,

you know, like, for example, your Diesel Ramos,

I believe, is going to be playing a stormtrooper

in Star Wars? Oh, sure. Why not? Or whatever.

Let's say that that's the scenario. There's no

way for any of us to prove that. You know what

I mean? Because he's in a he's in a get -up,

right? You know, it's not like you know, uh,

like you said with um, bill murray showing up

and I don't want to I guess so spoiler alert

But like mark hamill showing up in kingsman.

We all know that's mark hamill But if uh, you

know, joe bloke shows up in a in a mask in a

costume in an episode or in a movie Who's to

say that that's him or that's not him? Right.

So just here's a good example. Diesel Ramos is

going to be in Avengers, Age of Ultron. His role

is masked Asgardian. So he has a mask on. So

there's no way. The point is nobody can prove

that's him or not. He's credited. If his name's

in the credit, then that's proof. Right. Right.

If it's not credited and he's in a mask, I don't

know. You know what I mean? So maybe going forward

and next year we'll just at least put the caveat

on there that they have to be credited. in the

end credits for it. But no, I was not trying

to rewrite the rules mid -season. I just wanted

to have the discussion while we had some people

that we can hash it out. DJ, any thoughts on

that? I'm trying to rewrite the rules. There's

no way Diego Ramos, whatever his damn name is,

should be getting all these points. Should have

thought of it first, brother. This is like a

fifth bench player going to the Pro Bowl over

Peyton Manning. It doesn't make any sense. Question

is will the extras beat out the Avenger Star

Wars team? I think it might the thing is my extras

are in Avengers and Star Wars Right, but no,

but I'm just saying like getting the one point

versus you know Let's say let's say if you're

furious seven right now got seven points, but

that's like Tim having six people on furious.

Yeah He's gonna get like 45 to 50 points free

Star Wars and for Avengers So that's gonna be

interesting to see if that strategy holds up

now obviously awards are gonna play a part of

it and there will be that catch -up phase where

we, you know, all the box office and all that

stuff will be done, you know, after the first

part of January when we get all those numbers

in for the most part and then it will be kind

of a wait and see. We'll know where everybody

stands. It'll become down to you know the award

season and who's gonna be able to bank the most

points on those I'm hoping to combat that that

Tim strategy because I'm looking down my list

and I think almost every single one is in Avengers

and Star Wars like They just happen to be kind

of in the background Once we do once I knew higher

was doing that I was like well I have to this

right after you we read Diego Ramos my whole

how about you use the man some respect his name

is diesel Whatever name to get. Gago, isn't he

from the Dory Explorer? Whatever his damn name

is. I was like, I changed my strategy to, I'm

gonna go for awards because there's no way, uh...

dim -sung Ramos is gonna get on the Oscar so

I just go with the actors I think that's great

and something else that we wanted to talk about

because there's another aspect besides awards

besides box office that we kind of mentioned

briefly in the opening and that's having to do

with castings because one thing that I thought

would be entertaining for us because when I was

setting this up I didn't want it to be just like

a one a one horse pony type thing or a one horse

race where you just kind of go with all the awards

or you just go all box office. So I was trying

to get diverse. And one of the ways that I thought

would be interesting for us, because a lot of

us do talk about news on our podcasts or we talk

about some headlines here and there at times,

would be to kind of keep track of people that

are in demand. So it's not just about people

that are making money this year, but also...

actors that are in the most demand in Hollywood

and one way I thought about doing that was giving

points to people that you know that ultimate

casting like think of right now you know they're

trying to come up with who's going to be you

know the next spider -man so if you have someone

on your team that gets cast as spider -man I

thought there should be some type of bonus I

almost made of the reagent move because those

producers and directors that are listening I'd

like you to cast mr. diesel ramos do not cast

this man anymore Might I recommend Sienna Miller

or Iggy Azalea as Mary Jane? Lee Holland. Lee

Holland is a male, sir. Oh, sorry. When that

Spider -Man news dropped, I almost made a free

agent pick up for Logan Lerman, because I was

like, oh man, they're going to cast Spider -Man.

I think Logan Lerman is a front runner. And then

I realized they were going to do the high school

thing. And I kind of like, thankfully I didn't

make the pick or whatever. But yeah, you're right

about the waiting to see if somebody's going

to get cast in something is all I'm kind of doing

right now. You know, like Indiana Jones, like

Han Solo, like Spider -Man, those are some of

the bigger ones that I'm thinking about right

now. So let's talk about the whole casting thing,

because this is another one where there's going

to be some gray area. It's not just a black or

white category. And how I set it up in the rules,

and since we're going by the rules with everything,

how I set it up in the initial rules that I sent

out, this is how it reads. Official confirmation

during 2015 of said actor being cast in what

the panel deems as a major casting for 2016 or

beyond, in which the actor or actress was not

previously known to be cast for when we did the

draft. So there's a couple parts to that. We

can't give credit for being cast in a film that's

happening later on that we already knew about

when the draft happened So, you know if we already

knew, you know, what's gonna be whatever Aquaman

Jason Momoa is gonna be Aquaman and somebody

drafted him. You don't get points for that here

And the other thing is of course every actor

on our all 120 actors are gonna be cast in things

that come out after 2015 Nobody's outside of

untimely death or retirement. They're all never

working again. They're all going to be. And I

think DJ has a hit out on Diesel Ramos. I'm going

to kill him. He's dead. He's a dead man. He's

been in the mouth after Diego Ramos. So I didn't

want it to just be you just get points for any

movie you're in. So they're all going to be in

movies. So we had to do some type of separation.

It has to be some type of you know major casting

has to be something that's that's newsworthy

something that's noteworthy or or something like

that so that's where the gray area comes in because

obviously it's going to have to be determined

by uh... by us uh... as a as a league what is

major castings and and what are just that person's

appearing in a movie uh... so that's something

that that we have to have a bit of a discussion

on now uh... is up to each team to come up with

uh... potential point point earners there And

this is something obviously that's going to take

some work on their part. And if they're sleeping

and if they don't want to nominate any of their

people for a casting point opportunity, then

that's on them. There's not going to be a limit

though. So if the casting happened like two weeks

ago, they can still bring it up in, you know,

for the year, or at least until the end of the

tournament, I guess. Right. So they can still

bring it up, you know, in November and say, hey,

I forgot about that this person was, you know,

cast as this person and we can have our vote

then. A couple of them. for example, that we

got to bring up now because I have a whole slew

of them that Tim sent me, actually, from the

first time watchers. So this will kind of give

us an example of some kind of things that either

count or don't count. And hopefully, people that

are listening will get an idea of how to kind

of compile this for their own team. And I know,

Hiro, you have some that are already jotted down,

too, so we can kind of talk about that. And by

the way, anything that Tim puts in, I'm voting

no. Alright, so here's an example of something

that wouldn't count. Alright, he has Scarlett

Johansson being in the Jungle Book in 2016. Wasn't

she already cast? Yeah, so that was a casting

that happened prior to the draft. That's been

cast for probably a year and a half. So something

like that would not count. Now DJ, I think you

brought up via Twitter... what happens with uh...

sequels of stuff that's already going on so you're

i think your uh... example was tom hardy signing

on to do three more mad max we did not know before

the draft you know happened yeah i would say

yes so that's so the question there is he's already

been cast as the character but he we didn't know

about any of these future films right Would say

that's good to go from it for my vote I think

that's okay because he had no contract signed

nobody even knew that they were gonna do sequels

I thought that was gonna be a one and done when

I when I first and that's something to that that

kind of can kind of build up Excitement to for

a movie hoping it does well if your actors in

it because if there's a potential for yeah I

vote you just let that ride man I mean I think

that's a that's good if it's especially if it

makes the headlines and news because that's coming

out and it's being like like promoted through

podcast websites articles all right now you know

what are you lost will be talking about if there's

bigger news because i've had my fingers crossed

even though it goes against my principles because

i have chris pratt on my team i'm if he gets

kept indiana jones which is a very high high

high possibility are we going to put that as

more points than like if we have a scarlet Johansson

ghost in the shell type of casting or so that

was going to be my question who is it It's gonna

be a big frickin deal, dude. That's a big deal.

I got that, but then we start into What is our

opinions and stuff like that? You know what I

mean? Like we're there We're starting to factor

in way too much opinion to it And that's where

I would vote no like it has to be up like the

way Kevin set it up already Like I would is it

two points or something like that. That's great.

It's just a solid thing Hey, you got cast great

We don't know how that shit's gonna turn out

and you know when I say Indiana Joe we could

have this argument Indiana Jones is bigger casting

than spider -man In my opinion, you know what

I'm saying? Like I would agree with that because

he's more. OK, well, you're not supposed to agree

with me. That would be something to do with you,

Hiro. I disagree completely. There could be something

we set up to for a future year where we have

levels. You know, maybe there's two different

levels or three different levels, you know, that

we can determine. You know, it's a minor casting.

It's a major casting or it's, you know, ridiculously

huge. And I thought another one if I got two

more. Well before you get those though real quick

on the on the subject of Tom Hardy signing on

for three more Mad Max films So then the question

becomes does he get casting points for all three

of those movies? Well, it happened. I'd say one

I think for the one bit of news because it was

all that I would say too because because for

some of these things like if somebody that's

involved in the Marvel or the DC world Sign a

three -film contract or something picture deal

like Stan Sebastian Stan. I wouldn't give him

nine times two I just give him the two points

for the big news of him being okay cast Yeah,

that's kind of how I felt too. I just wanted

to kind of throw that out there for clarification

But go ahead DJ. What was some of your well Pratt

was cast Magnificent seven. I don't know if that

counts and We just got news. This is the sequel

thing again. I got Garrett Hedlund and he just

got cast for the Tron sequel So I don't know

if that counts as well. Yeah, I mean, those are

those are ones that I would think would be legit.

Like I said, all these ones are forward. Yeah.

And anything that's that's worthy of being put

in on the list will put on the list. And I think,

you know, everybody can vote. I'm kind of circling

the bigger one like a Tron movie is a big kind

of a big deal. Magnificent Seven movie may not

be as big of a deal, though it is a frickin a

remake of a classic is the only reason I kind

of brought it up. And it's it's Chris Pratt.

So he's. He's essentially one thing I might introduce

me just I'd throw it out there for the league

to vote on is Actors who are in producer roles?

Like maybe giving them an extra point if they're

Yeah, like you're talking about Marky Mark. He's

a big producer. DiCaprio produces a lot of stuff.

One that I want to talk about is Anthony Mackie.

When he's doing the Jesse Owens thing, he's going

to star and produce. He's not directing, but

he's going to star and produce. And that's something

that I would have to probably consider, too.

Yeah, it would be interesting. Another little

wrinkle to add. Because right now, you do get

double points if you act and direct. Nice. If

you're an actor and you do direct, because there

is a point for directing a movie, even though

it's made for our directors, it's still consistent.

So those people that you do have that are going

to be a director of a film for the first time

this year will get you an extra point if they're

on a team. Some other ones that Tim has on his

list, and this is another question that I have,

because he's got every single one of his Avengers

people, and then he has casting points for basically

all of the future, like Captain America Civil

War. That's in their contract. When you sign

up with the mouse, they make you sign, like,

a nine -picture deal. Get out of here with that.

Automatically a nine -picture deal. That's why,

uh, excuse me, King Phoenix didn't sign for Dr.

Strange, because he didn't want to sign that

long -ass deal, and they got a Cumberbatch instead.

Right, so he's got Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans,

and Scarlett Johansson for Captain America, the

Civil War. Get out of here. No, no, no. That

was done a long time ago. That was pre -draft.

that was done prior to the avengers the first

yeah dude get out of here so i think the main

thing that he was missing was probably the time

frame here because he's also got uh let's see

i don't know when these other ones came out he's

got harrison ford for blade runner no that's

well i don't know when that happened you That's

new. I think that counts. I think that counts.

I'm not sure. I have to double check it. So based

on the time that we'd have to do research on...

When was the article posted? Like, when was the

breaking? When was it official? Because they

had been rumoring that for years, but it wasn't

official until recently, I think. Yes, I think

that one does count. I'd have to look at the

time, but I'm pretty sure that one counts. And

then he has Scarlett Johansson for Ghost in the

Shell. And then he has Robert Downey Jr. for

Sherlock Holmes 3. That's been... See, they've

been... Again, that's been whittling around in

a circle for years, so I don't know. I leave

that up to you guys. Okay, so the Blade Runner

thing, I'm looking at... Harrison Ford to star

in Blade Runner 2, article in Forbes, December

1st, 2014. So when was our draft again? I forgot.

February. So unless he can... Yeah, if there's

an article that's dated that far back, then I

guess if that's an official announcement... Yeah,

it's from Forbes. It says... I mean, I'm just

looking at the article, so... Right. So yeah,

so I mean, if it doesn't fit in that timeframe,

that's something... So we'll basically have to

collect everybody's names that they're throwing

out there, and we'll put it on a sheet there.

Right. And we'll send it out to everybody, and

we can have the votes go, and you know, if someone

wants to defend their choices... Quit cheating,

too! I had one that was interesting for mine

because I don't have a lot of people that are

Specifically cast yet. I have one that I'm hoping

for and that would be Idris Elba as the villain

in the next Star Trek film I wrote that down.

I was like when we were talking about a possibility

that because that hasn't been confirmed even

talks right now, which is so I just have to hope

that it gets a Confirmed at some point during

the year You're doing what I'm doing with Chris

Pratt for Indiana Jones. I'm just waiting to

see if it happens. I think they're waiting for

Jurassic World. If he kills Jurassic World, don't

be surprised. In like a week, they'll say, oh

yeah, Chris Pratt's Indiana Jones. Right. Yeah,

this is where Lee Holland and Diesel Ramos hurt

me because nobody's announcing them. Diesel Diego

Dimsum Ramos. DJ Valentine Ramos. The next Star

Wars film. The Nazi number three in Indiana Jones

remake. He did such a good job as the Master

Asgardian that uh... DJ Valentine Ramos is so

good that he has to be cast as Spider -Man. David

Arquette Ramos is gonna be in the cast. Nice.

My other question when it came to casting, because

it's not necessarily something I considered too

much when I was setting it up because it was

mainly just for actors, but are we considering

directors that get signed on for big projects?

I see, okay, see I'm with that as well because

it's an entire... Column so why not? I mean because

it's a big news people jump at the opportunity

for a big director like Ryan Johnson Star Wars

thing or the jager The what was the the Neil

Blomkamp thing if you had Neil Blomkamp on your

team and he got cast to do aliens aliens That's

a big points. Yeah. Yeah, that would have been

a big one for me I think that that definitely

does count and I had two questions for you guys.

I got your guys one guy He got two new casting

two new movies come out signed on to my guy,

Mr. Colin Trevorrow. He announced one like two

weeks ago and they announced one today or like

a few days ago. That sucks for me because I have

Sam Mendes and he's not doing Bond movies, he's

doing plays. So it's like shit, he's only doing

Bond movies and plays, that's it. For one of

mine, I haven't done the research yet on this

one to see if the date fits into our time frame.

I don't know... How long ago Steven Spielberg

was confirmed to be the director for the next

Indiana Jones movie? Is Spielberg your guy? He's

not confirmed yet. He said, I would love to do

one, but they haven't confirmed it. He got the

Ready Player One thing. Ready Player One thing,

I would say yes. That was big news too. So Ready

Player One would give me one point for Steven

Spielberg if they fully vote accordingly, and

if he gets confirmed as Indiana Jones the next

film, I would assume that that would be something

worthy of. uh... point as well what's the deal

with chris pratt that's the we can get those

points to get out there you guys are about to

start docking so that i think that that that

that that that that that that that that that

that that that that that that that that that

that that that that that that that that that

that that that that that that that that that

that that that that that that that that that

that that that that that that that that that

that that that that that that that that that

that that that that that that that that that

that that that that that that that that that

that that that that that that that that that

that that Hiro, what were some of the other ones

that you were thinking of that you wanted to

bring up possibly as far as directors and stuff

or Well, just any casting things. Did you have

any? Oh, I've got a bunch I've got Jeremy Renner

was just announced for the Bourne sequel. I mean,

I don't know how that counts but confirm Yeah,

it's confirmed that him and Matt Damon gonna

share the screen That's been rumored forever

and Yeah, it's you know that they would have

a that they eventually would appear in the movie

together It's been something that I've been waiting

for to see on in that franchise So I think yeah

everything that's everything that we have that

qualify as like the Avengers thing because he

signed a two -picture deal when he did born legacy

Did he really I believe so because he was supposed

to take over that franchise and then Matt Damon

was like no See, this is the category that will

lead to all kinds of fun debates and ongoing

yeas or nays for these. What were some of your

other ones? This was pretty new. Kurt Russell

was just cast in the Deepwater Horizon movie.

That's the BP oil spill thing that has Marky

Mark in it. That's pretty recent. Jesse Owens

and the Anthony Macky thing. If that's not recent,

it's almost done. Is he directing? Who's directing

that? Is that like a big director doing that?

I'm not really positive. I just saw Anthony Mackie

and then he's championing the film. Then Vincent

D 'Onofrio cast in Purgatory and that was just

something I just kind of found. And Colin Trevorrow,

the director, that he just actually, I sent you

guys the article just now. So Book of Henry is

the one that was announced about uh... two weeks

ago and then intelligent life two weeks before

that so his next two movies were just announced

so gotcha so this is this is kind of the stuff

we're looking for from all the different league

members to put together all the different uh...

you know just have your own little spreadsheet

or your own little word doc or whatever throughout

the year and you know if somebody gets announced

that you want to consider just throw their name

down and uh... what we'll do is we'll put them

all up there with confirmation that it's within

the right time frame and then the league will

just have to vote whether it's uh... a major

casting or not But like we kind of talked about

if it's if they're already signed on for an eight

picture nine picture deal And it just hasn't

been determined which movies those are that doesn't

count So if you're already signed for a six picture

Marvel deal, and we just don't know which Marvel

films you're gonna be cast in That's not that's

not a casting Yeah, that's that's just a choice

of which ones you're gonna appear in so those

would not count But if it's like a sequel that

we didn't know was gonna happen like we're talking

about with the Mad Max films Then that does count,

but you're not gonna get credit for the next

five films, you're gonna get credit for that.

That announcement. Right. Yeah, so I got a few

in there, man, so we'll see how that pans out.

I think a couple of them are solid, very solid,

like The Deep Water and the two director films

are pretty solid. Purgatory, eh, I don't know

how big that is. Right, and then that's the thing,

it doesn't hurt you putting all these things

out there. The worst that can happen is the league

votes no. Yeah, and then I can tell them all

to kiss my ass for cheating. And we know certain

people will get all voted no for no reason. Tim

throws one out there, the league votes no. We

voted yes for the Blade Runner thing. Yeah, I'm

just kidding. But any other thoughts on the casting

aspect, DJ? No, no, I'm down with that. I really

think we should take it, when Hiro was bringing

up the producer stuff, I want to do the, and

the director getting the news, the director getting

cast to do a movie is just as big as an actor

to me. So I agree that too and so far we've only

had one director that's gone this year so far

that's had their film drop because you know we

each have one director on our on our team and

that'll be something we can debate you know for

next year too is is you know how many actors

how many directors etc that type of thing but

for this year everybody got one director and

so far only one director has had their film come

out and that of course was the furious seven

director who was on the war machine James Wan

team So James Wan got him an extra seven points

for his director coming out. That's a great choice.

So yeah, so we'll have to see how everybody's

director if they all are that successful or not.

So right now he's obviously the top point earner

for directors. Oh, wait a minute. He's also in

talks for Aquaman, I think. So that would be

a he talks though. It's not confirmed, but I

saw his name So damn it Hollywood confirm some

of these things We need to Idris Elba as the

next villain in Star Trek because he can't keep

getting me negative points as my number one draft

You got Avengers coming up. He's supposed to

be Heimdall in Avengers. So you get that's true.

You're gonna get some points Yeah, right now

Haley Atwell is my best earning person because

she was in Cinderella. So And she'll be in Avengers

2 so and and and so that'll double deal right

there and manage so stupid The trail is supposed

to be tomorrow, and I hear it's supposed to be

good, because the first one was awful. Hopefully,

fingers crossed. If you guys are watching the

website here, or the listeners can check in,

if you go to geekcastradio .com, there's a big

banner up at the top of the page for the Fantasy

League. You click on that, it'll show you who's

on all of our teams. If you just want to know

who's on each... person's team you can look at

that. It'll also have the standings who's in

first all the way through me and last and then

you can click on the actual people's names in

the standings or somewhere on there and it'll

actually bring up the whole breakdown of which

actors are running what kind of points for things.

You can kind of keep track there too. I try to

update that every about two weeks or so. I didn't

think it was physically possible, but this both

sucks and blows. Trial of diesel and you know,

I knew this is gonna happen. I so I was kind

of bummed that I wasn't able to be at the draft

because I had so much stuff to say and you know

It's funny cuz I took advantage of a loo hole

It was almost funnier though you not be in there

just because all of us were trying to figure

out like the sound effects that go out calling

me a retard Had to spice it up a little bit And

I was the one reading your names, and I'm like,

am I retarded that I don't know these people?

Like, have I been sleeping under a rock? But

then everybody else was like, who are they? So

I'm like, okay, good. Sorry, I'm drinking my

beer here. I'm also drinking my lemonade. I'm

getting tropical on us. Switching it up though.

At least I have my shirt on. DJ and I recorded

last night with... We're on the buff. We're on

the buff yesterday. Don't think you had a shirt

on when I recorded with you guys either. I think

I took it off mid show He's a tease that guy

big cock tease
