Streaming Picks and Entertainment Rumors

You are tuned in to Steve Megatron on Altered

Geek Hello and welcome to Altered Geek I'm your

host Steve Megatron Phillips and joining me in

this adventure into geekdom is TFG1 Mike Hello

Hello Hello On this episode, we're going to be

talking about a couple of different topics, one

of which being what we're streaming right now

and why we're enjoying it, as well as some various

rumors and confirmations in the TV and film universe

of a variety of franchises. Plus, we also have

the Phillips family road trip to Mount Rushmore.

Yes, we did do that. It was a five -hour trip.

I have the episode title for you. No. Yeah, no,

I do. It's good. You're gonna like it. The Mount

Rushmore. Yeah, pretty much. You'd buy that for

a dollar. The Mount Rushmore of entertainment

news. Yeah, that could be. It's not bad. It's

not bad. You've come up with worse, so... Trust

me. I can always do worse. I know this. Thank

you very much So yeah as as Mike has alluded

to we did go to Mount Rushmore. We spent last

Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday In Mount Rushmore,

and then Monday came back To civilization I didn't

have bandwidth. I didn't have internet there,

but again. I wasn't on it consistently so But

again a lot of pictures got a lot of photos of

the monument We we did get to see the airplanes

flying overhead. We did see the fireworks from

behind Mount Rushmore sweet Because our campground

was I mean technically from our campground is

a two -mile drive to Mount Rushmore But it was

more or less just making a giant sea mm -hmm

to get there and a lot of people were parking

downtown and We were going to get ice cream for

everybody else. I can't eat it unless we go to

like somewhere that's like dairy free because

I can't digest dairy anymore and so So I didn't

get ice cream. I just get candy but So that was

fine with me anyway, the kids were atrociously

covered in ice cream after it melted 90 degree

weather, but Yeah But we were going to park around

the corner where there was free parking and I

didn't really want to risk it, you know, to go

watch downtown. Plus, with, and I'm not getting

political here, but with the protests of the

president physically being in Mount Rushmore,

which was not the idea that we were planning

for, we didn't, I didn't really feel comfortable

with having us in the downtown area with what

people have been known to do during those protests.

And so rather than put my family in jeopardy

of physical harm or possibility thereof because

a majority of people were hardcore Trumpers.

I'm not on either side, but I'm just putting

that out there anyway. So anyways, I didn't really

want to deal with it either way. And so rather

than that, I was going to park on this one way

back to our campground and then Of course I didn't

and so Mary was not very happy with me because

she's like fireworks because they're probably

gonna be good because you know, he's gonna show

off and So luckily about 20 minutes into being

at the campground Somebody's like because Mary

and the boys went to go watch the airplanes flying

over the Jets and the angels And I was following

up. And again, like I said, she was not happy

with me for missing out on the opportunity to

see it downtown. And this person comes with a

camera with another friend and they're like,

hey, they're like, are you going to watch the

fireworks? And they're like, and she says, well,

we were going to, but he botched the parking

job. And so. The lady's like, well, she says,

you'll be able to see the fireworks from here.

All you got to do, it's a five minute walk up

the hill. And it goes above the tree line because

that's where the cabins are. And so they invited

us to go up there with them and watch the fireworks.

Oh, sweet. And so we were able to see them from

behind Mount Rushmore. Granted, I had to zoom

in my camera a little bit because, you know,

they looked about the size of my computer monitor

from, you know, from that distance. But But yeah,

I mean it came out well. I got to see it and

everything was well and yeah, so So let me ask

you as as this as I know we've said off air This

is the first time you you have been to Mount

Rushmore correct. What was it like looking at

it being there? What was it? What was the feel

of being in the moment of actually seeing Mount

Rushmore? I honestly thought it would be bigger

That's what everybody says, honestly. Well, like,

because I got up there and I'm like, OK, this

is this is really big. And I know that the nose

is like 20 feet long. You know, so I mean, I

guess when you get closer, but they had most

of it locked off when we went because they were

roping it off for the fireworks and for the president

being right the next day. And so and they had

it closed the whole next day. So they had a lot

of the trails locked off because they were preparing

it. And so honestly, I thought it was going to

be bigger. And I mean, the funniest thing was,

is the whole thing with social distancing. Yeah,

people were wearing masks, about 50 % of them,

and then the other 50 % not. But we were all

in such close corners because the paths were

all blocked off, which they do this at any of

the parks or the beaches too. And it makes no

sense. Like the more you close off, the more

clustered together people will be. Exactly, if

you're worried about social distancing, why are

you closing off areas where people would naturally

spread out on their own? Or like creating these

crazy, you know ways to get into lines to get

into stores It honestly you're not gonna have

the issue with people purposely trying to be

right next to somebody else Majority of the population

does not want to be next to somebody I don't

want to be near anybody besides my wife Don't

want to be near anybody physically at all well

And that's kind of how I am unless I'm at work

or something like I don't care Yeah, if I see

a cramped aisle at the store. I physically don't

go down it I'll go down the next aisle or somewhere

else until I can get down because I don't like

being cramped around a large amount of people

Right and that's the other thing and this is

gonna be a tangent here folks That's the other

thing with now the social distancing the physical

distancing are local Walmart here in Vancouver,

Washington, at least the one we go to for the

most part, has now, because no one was really

looking at the floor of the store, they now have

red and green signs on which way you're supposed

to go down the aisles. So it's arrows, but they

actually have signs on the aisles, so people

will see them. And it's like, oh, if there are

too many people in the aisle that I need to go

down the right way, I need to go down two more

aisles to go down another one the right way to

come back up the other end. That's why it takes

shopping so much longer now because of the way...

Well, the funny thing is with that is I don't

pay attention to that because I think it's asinine.

I don't think that it's... Yeah, I get what they're

trying to go for and I get that they're trying

to prevent people from just clustering down the

aisle. But the problem is, is half the time you've

got people stocking the aisles and you can't

get in there anyway because they've got both

sides locked. And because you can't go down the

opposite direction, you can't physically get

down the aisle to get what you need, even if

it's close to the end within like four feet.

And because Mary had that happen the other day,

she was at the grocery store and or at Walmart

or somewhere and they were like, you got to go

all the way around. And she's like, it's right

here. It's in arm's reach. You got to go around.

So like she, you know, was like, OK, so she like

walked around. But it was just it's it's so stupid,

to be honest. And the the only time that I have

gone the wrong way is if nobody's behind me or

in front of me. or if nobody's in the aisle and

like you just said, it's right there on the end

of the aisle and you don't have to go down too

far. But I have actively called out people saying

there's arrows on here, especially like if I

see three different people in carts coming down

the aisle and I physically cannot walk a store

anymore. I haven't been able to walk a grocery

store since 2012. I just physically can't do

it. because not only my weight, but also the

fact that I have mobility issues. So I use a

motorized cart. I'm disabled. I've been disabled

my whole life. I'd still be disabled if I was

120 pounds or 220 pounds or whatever instead

of the 400 pounds that I am. So the disability

isn't going to go away regardless of my weight.

So, you know, but there are times where it's

like, I'm trying to follow the stores orders

and it's like other people just like Come on

Yeah, that's why I say I don't like being near

people but yeah, I mean that aside It overall

it was a good trip we got to be out in nature

got to see a lot of animals So it was just a

lot of fun So getting into the episode of what

we've been streaming I've been having fun watching

agents of shield again Really? Yeah, which is

funny because I dropped it three seasons ago

And then recently like within the last two months

I probably blitzed through the rest of what I

was Waiting on and now I'm stuck to the week

to week. This season is actually pretty blasted

solid The Ghost Rider season that they had like

two or three seasons ago was okay And spoiler

alert, if you haven't seen it, Coulson dies at

the end of that season because he takes on the

role of Ghost Rider to take out this life -model

decoy that's gone AWOL and is trying to kill

his team and so he takes on Ghost Rider to incinerate

it. And it burns up the rest of the Kree blood

which causes his original wounds from Loki to

start resurfacing. So he starts dying because

of it. so he goes to like a tropical place and

then Quake and Melinda May meet him there, but

Because they had this whole space adventure the

season before the season after or something he

Some alien took on his persona like his body

It was using basically his meat suit as it were

to Torment the crew and or to torment the the

shield members And he's destroyed by the end,

but this season they introduce Coulson as a life

model decoy, like what I originally thought they

were going to do in season one. And so he's got

like super strength and everything else, but

he's got all of Coulson's memories. But he's

more, he's basically the Chronicom, which is

like the baddies of this season, but it's time

jumping. So they get to go into Agent Carter's

timeline. Hmm and all the way through to current

day and so various members of the team end up

splintered between different points in time and

They reveal that somebody from agent Carter's

time was supposed to die and they staged it with

Colson being the life model decoy In place and

pretend dying because he's a robot In place of

this shield agent that was the head of shield

at the time in the 30s or 40s or whatever it

was and They bring him he's basically following

the shield crew all the way to modern -day now,

so he'll actually be more or less the director

Mm -hmm is how they're they're setting it up

and Colson I won't say what happened to his life

model decoy, but there's there's something that

happens and Melinda May's like look, you know

cuz like Coulson makes this line when he's taking

out the bad guys. He's like You don't know my

superpower and they're like and that is and he's

like He's like I don't stay dead Because every

time you think he's out he's not so but yeah

i've been having a lot of fun with this season

it's a lot more fun i think because of the time

travel and because they're mixing in like agent

carter and it feels more connected and um colson's

kind of like the the fun aspect of it um even

though he's a robot um so yeah i've been really

enjoying that that show since it's um even though

it's on its final season which kind of makes

me sad now because it's actually good um i get

that they're what they're doing with it because

um They have Disney Plus now and that's kind

of where everything's gonna get kind of rebooted

or reused if they actually take things on Mm

-hmm. So yeah, I mean I that's that's one of

the main ones. I've been watching I've been also

just kind of like Mask of the Phantasm 1989 Batman

a Few things of Star Trek, but I haven't really

been watching that even lately. I've been doing

other things But yeah, I mean that's that's kind

of what I've been paying attention to recently

Very cool very cool for me This is actually in

preparation for whenever we get to our We love

video video games. We love part two over inside

studio 2009 I have been watching long plays of

The four main Metal Gear games Metal Gear solid

games so from the original PlayStation 1 game

all the way through PlayStation 3's Metal Gear

Solid 4 Guns of the Patriots. So I've been doing

that. And I remember playing Metal Gear Solid

back in 1998, 1999, so I really did enjoy that

and the second game. I was never a fan of the

third game because the third game was a prequel.

Now that I'm watching Guns of the Patriots, which

is the fourth game, I see why. It makes sense

that the third game is the prequel so they can

tie it all into this the fourth game that they

did As far as actual shows and movies and things

like that I'm actually gonna be watching probably

after we record this or sometime before we net

record the next one Live free or die hard is

now on Hulu. So I may watch that. Yeah, that

just got added I guess or at least it just now

showed up for me. That's the fourth one, right?

Yep. Yep. That's the Yep, that's the techno one.

So one I like besides the original three or the

original one in three TV shows. I'm still watching

true crime stuff Watching numbers. I don't know

why I blame a friend of mine on Facebook but

I found out that Hulu has the as all nine seasons

of the reality show married at first sight I

only ever watched the first season. I only ever

paid attention to that first season. So who knows?

What else am I watching? Let's see over on Netflix,

I just finished my seventh or eighth watch through

of person of interest and it's surprising with

that show like how much that kind of Hits home

today with technology and and everything else

For things we love which apparently it just got

added or again. It just showed up for me on Netflix

Spaceballs is now on Netflix. I'll be watching

that at some point so I can laugh my ass off

Anybody interested in game shows Supermarket

sweep is on Netflix Have you ever watched this

other show called the floor is lava It's completely

stupid. It's on Hulu, right? Yeah. No, it's on

I think it's on Netflix. It's a Netflix original.

Oh, that's right. It is on Netflix. I'm sorry.

I haven't forbid the so stupid. Yeah, because

it's they're trying to play it out like, oh,

they're actually going to die in lava. And then

it's not lava. It's not lava. It's water with

bath soap. You know, like, you know, like dish

soap bubbles and stuff in special lighting. But

the sad thing about it is is It would be interesting,

but it's entirely too stupid and it it kind of

reminds me of like legends of the hidden temple

mixed with like some Almost like a double dare

mixed with guts But done very poorly So it's

basically just looking at the description from

reading and I'll read the description in a moment

what I get from reading this description is that

It's basically musical chairs with lava and curtains

and and You're basically Indiana Jones essentially

your Indiana Jones in it, but it's not There's

no it's not musical chairs You do our times you

are time. Yeah have to get as many of your people

over within a certain time period in order to

win but ultimately it's it's It's not something

that I would care to watch any more of. I watched

the first episode and I got the gist of it and

I'm like, okay, I'm good. I don't need to say

any more of this mess. I mean, I can get the

gist of it just by this description. Again, this

is directly from the Netflix app and this is

why I said musical chairs. Teams compete to navigate

rooms flooded with lava by leaping from chairs,

hanging from curtains and swinging from chandeliers.

Yes, really. No, thank you. That's great if other

people enjoy it. That's that's their thing that

I will find something else that I enjoy Yeah,

yeah, yeah, so I Know that it's not a lot of

stuff, but there's I mean there's a lot of old

stuff from the 90s coming on to streaming to

oh Wow they have a Didn't even know this thing

existed they have a Daphne and Velma movie Really?

On Hulu. And it's live action. They have two

people playing... Wow. And that's it. There's

none of the rest of the Scooby Gang. I guess

they thought it would be good or something. So

there's also a bunch of different things going

around on the internet. I know last episode we

talked about Michael Keaton. possibly returning

as Batman. There is a... what people are calling

an Easter egg found in Michael Keaton's and Batman

Returns. This is where Keaton's Batman and Pfeiffer's

Catwoman are having a final dance at Max Shrek's

party before Danny DeVito's Penguin crashes in

the final act. It says two of the other dancers

in the background are clearly wearing their own

superhero garb, which includes a male dancer

wearing a helmet clearly referencing Jay Garrick's

version of The Flash. And I looked at this and

it's actually there. There's a look over his

shoulder and there's a man wearing the Jay Garrick

helmet. Oh wow. Over Keaton's Bruce Wayne shoulder.

And I mean it's got part of a face mask over

it, but he's wearing the clearly wearing the

helmet So I'll probably I'll probably screenshot

it and throw it on the the episode But yeah,

I thought it was kind of interesting that that

popped up of all things As kind of a funny Easter

egg that people were just now taking notice of

now that the possibility of Keaton coming back

And then there was something else because of,

they're saying because of Flashpoint of redoing

the Justice League movie with new versions of

the actors and characters and everything. Somebody

was trying to say that they would bring Ryan

Reynolds as Green Lantern, they'd have all these

other, they'd have... Batgirl be in place of

Terry McGinnis in the Batman Beyond movie and

all these other little rumors that were floating

about And I was reading it Again in an article.

I wish I could find it right now, but it's by

that Umberto Gonzalez or whatever that he's got

the He writes for the rap now, but he used to

own his own more or less his own movie website.

So anyways, he was talking about some of the

things that people were reading too much into.

Oh, we're going to have this new Justice League

movie where all these other characters and all

these other actors are coming back and they're

like this is all just like speculation on people's

behalf none of it's true oh exactly yeah and

that's why i mean while i think we had a really

great discussion with with our good buddy dj

valentine last time around that's why i wanted

to make sure everybody understood everything

we were talking about last time was pure speculation

because like I said before until Michael Keaton

Warner Brothers or whomever actually comes out

and says or actually comes out and said like

if Warner Brothers sent me a press release like

20 minutes ago or tomorrow or whenever saying

yes it is confirmed Michael Keaton is going to

be blah blah blah blah here's a little teaser

video with him saying oh and by the way I'm Batman,

you know, I mean, you know, until that happens,

I don't believe any of these rumors or it just

it's funny because and then there's the other

ones of, you know, oh, Keaton's Batman will be

the the Nick Fury of the universe for the reboot.

And again, it's another one of those things that's

not confirmed either. And. So yeah, I just thought

that it was kind of interesting to bring up the

the flash Jay Garrick helmet yeah, that's cool

that That that was played in that that clip of

Batman returns So yeah that that's one of the

things that's been kind of floating around The

other thing is and this is another one of those

rumor mill things that when Kathleen Kennedy

is out after her contracts up in 2021 for Star

Wars, there's insinuation that possibly John

Favreau could lead the new Lucasfilm, which honestly

would be a good thing because everything he touches

like Iron Man, Mandalorian, stuff like that,

it seems to do really well. So yeah, that that's

one of those other One of those other ones that

they're rumoring things and and part of that

rumor was that they're gonna retcon and remove

Canon from The last three Star Wars movies because

people still aren't over that instead of just

as you know creating something They're saying

that Disney's gonna do a massive reset So here's

the thing, okay? Don't get us wrong, folks. We

absolutely love talking about our favorite intellectual

properties. We absolutely love reviewing things

from Transformers, Star Wars, Star Trek, Marvel,

DC, whatever. There are certain things that have

happened, let's just say, in the comic book industry

over the last 80 some odd, 90 some odd years.

There are certain arcs, there are certain stories

that just didn't work. Does that mean at least

until what was it 2011 that DC is gonna, you

know Erase everything like Erasing things does

not help the future Going back and you know,

you know why the 80s is the most rebooted and

redone decade Because the 80s got it right the

80s figured out what was popular at least at

that time and cashed in on it. You look at any

of the movies that we love from the 80s, even

some of the bad ones that most everybody hates.

Good ones, Ferris Bueller, Beverly Hills Cop

1 and 2, because those actually came out in the

80s. 94 was 94. Transformers, the movie, say

what you will about He -Man and She -Ra's Secret

of the Sword. G .I. Joe, the movie, say what

you will about that, because of whatever. Um,

you know all this stuff that we loved Came from

the 80s and now because no one can come up with

an original Flucking idea and I said flucking

as in ducking No one can come up with original

fucking idea They have to constantly go back

to the well and make things worse like Saw somebody

said something or somebody posted something about

Something getting a read. Oh The the latest thing

I saw as of today as of this recording the wonder

years is supposed to be getting a new Reboot

thing. We'll get into that in a minute My point

is and I and I know I said this I'm kind of contradicting

myself because I said this in another episode

of recently about how on certain kickstarter

things I can't get into them because they're

even though they are original content it's not

things that really appeal to me and I get that

I'm being hypocritical with that and sorry not

sorry people are hypocritical all the time there's

you know what we're all humans our opinions all

change at various things that's why top 10 lists

are never the same but it's one of those things

where Stop going back to the 80s. Stop trying

to recapture what already happened. And make

something new. Create something that, you know,

you take National Treasure, for example, those

two films. The third film, if it ever happens,

great. But you take those two films. Those, that

was a movie and a sequel that... absolutely captured

me because it was about American history and

how to either make it for good or evil because

you have you know in the first film you have

Ian and all his guys trying to steal the treasure

and you have Ben and all his guys trying to you

know save it and make sure it's preserved and

make sure whatever that was a good franchise

even though I'm sure there are things in that

movie that have been done before it wasn't Oh,

let's have Nicolas Cage as the new Indiana Jones.

You know what I mean? It's a new franchise with

the same similar style. Right, but it was something

new and different and Indiana Jones, even though

that trilogy focuses on, because I'm sorry, I

only recognize it as a trilogy, focuses on treasure

hunting and it's more world artifacts than just

specific History of the United States and that's

where national treasure kind of filled a shoe

where it's like, oh let's focus on You know this

at least in the first film and by the second

film they went to Cibola and all that and everything

else, but Yes, I and I don't know how to I Don't

know how to Keep doing the original idea thing

because We always end up going back to what works

for us or what we like So, you know, I mean how

many times does all things transformers died

and been resurrected many You know what I mean,

I'm saying like oh we love this let's bring it

back, but it's something we love whereas in Hollywood

They don't have an original bone in their body

apparently. Yeah so Kind of jumping back on the

original bone uh... is that uh... it's they're

trying to say there's another rumor floating

around the bed affleck is returning as batman

only and hb o max which again that was shot down

by the same umberto uh... gap now granted cosmic

book news in some of these other places like

they're getting some of this uh... info from

uh... because they're saying that all they created

a multiverse thing have any batman that they

want uh... Which is seems like a BS cop -out

answer There's there's a podcast or a video show

on YouTube called light cast which is cultured

nerd and Again, it's not another one of those

sites. I've never heard of And and they're saying

that Ben Affleck signed that they're saying that

you know the flash movies creating DC multiverse

with bat different Batman And and that's why

they're bringing in Keaton and then still having

the Pattinson and then having Affleck then there

was another rumor that was shot down that's saying

and again this is this was like a week after

the other one they said oh and now Ben Affleck's

not Batman, Ryan Reynolds is not Green Lantern

and they're not gonna you know have a new Justice

League and not you know get Keanu Reeves for

a new Constantine and you know Batgirl to be

in the Batman Beyond movie yeah because I found

the article now Yeah, that Umberto Gonzalez said

that You know, they're cool rumors, but none

of them are real He said that there is a Zatanna

movie being in development But there's not been

a director or anything attached so there's again

it's a nothing burger. Yep So and then there

was like a rumor of JJ Abrams rebooting DC through

a rebirth movie, and then he's like not true

You know there's no none of this is true, and

so it's They didn't know he didn't shoot down

Henry Cavill returning. He says nothing yet Yeah,

and see that's the thing like the internet age.

We are now in The internet age we've been in

for the last five or six years or so People will

look at something like cosmic book news or We

got this covered or whatever and they'll see

the headline and sometimes they might click past

it Sometimes they might not 90 % of the time

they don't right, but my point is you have these

websites out there that are Making money off

of rumor false rumors and speculation that may

never come to pass And that's not that's not

fucking cool Yeah This why okay, this is exactly

why altered geek and the geek cast ready network

half the time when we post stuff for like press

release or something Weird like when I post stuff

like I don't just sit there and write up something

IDW is going down the toilet IDW is is launching

a new gem comic unless IDW who I absolutely love

everybody at IDW from Chris Rial all the way

down to John to John Barber to all the artists

and all the writers everybody who's there currently

everybody who's been there the last five six

seven eight nine ten years absolutely love them

all I love the company they do great stuff with

the comics that they do and they are primarily

a licensed property comic book company between

Turtles and Transformers and G .I. Joe and all

the stuff they do But unless I get a press release

saying hey, this is being released by us I'm

not gonna sit there and waste my time copy and

paste or write up an article with potentially

False leading things and then have it on our

website and then have people come to us like

we're doing with this like you're You're reading

part of the article where this guy is saying.

Yeah, that's not true. That's like I'm not gonna

do that Why would I waste my time? Hashtag not

sellouts. Mm -hmm. Yeah And then you know, there's

also more it's funny because they keep referring

to these YouTube channels like that We got this

cover to Midnight's Edge Cosmic Book News and

they're always like Not reliable sources Yeah,

cuz it's again. It's a rumor. It's just it would

be like if I said well I heard that Batman is

coming back and he's gonna be on the DC Universe

app and Have Michael Keaton play him and then

they're gonna have you know I don't know. It's

just because like that's all that's basically

happening right now is people are like, oh there's

you know, there's even another talk of a Batman

Beyond series coming to or film or mostly serious

whatever HBO Max with Keaton in something else

and You know, there was another YouTuber like

that. Grace Randolph said that oh They don't

have a you know, according to her, you know,

but where's the source? They don't have a direct

adaptation of Batman Beyond Story, but there

are ideas to use Batgirl. And have Barbara Gordon

instead of Terry McGinnis, which doesn't line

up with the timeline anyway. It's laughable in

the first place. All these weird YouTube channels.

Because nothing is actually in production. Literally

yeah, everyone is like hey, I hear that you know

this this might be happening and It's laughable

because nobody has any information because nothing's

greenlit Exactly and and in that flash movie

for instance has been in Production hell for

four years because they can't seem to keep a

director because it's got studio interference

Now speaking of Keeping an actor The Batwoman

TV series has cast its new series lead in I'm

gonna butcher this name Javisha Leslie Okay African

-american playing the new Batwoman, which okay

cool So they're trying to break all these different

molds anyway with her being You know african

-american Bisexual lbgt or whatever. I know I

just butchered that too, but But anyways, they're

having her play a character named Ryan Wilder

who's gonna be the new Batgirl basically replacing

Kate Kane Which honestly I mean good for them

for the representation I Honestly had dropped

Batwoman after crisis Yeah I watched it through

Crisis and I did that with Supergirl 2 and I

figured, you know, because I was pretty much

up on everything with Supergirl, Batwoman, Black

Lightning, and Arrow and when Arrow went down,

when all of Crisis happened, I stopped watching

all but Legends and The Flash and even those

are on shaky grounds for me at the moment. Yeah,

I think I've said before on this show my biggest

issue with batwoman Was that the Alice in Wonderland

storyline should not have been the entire first

season It should have been like the first five

or six episodes Alice goes away Batwoman fights

other things and then like have it come back

and like the last three or four episodes of the

first season But but sadly no, it was the entire

first season This miss Leslie actress is The

the she was the co Main lead on God friended

me from the CW. So that's where she's got canceled.

Oh God friended me got canceled. Really? Yeah,

pretty sure I thought I got picked up. But anyway

canceled And man this culture is just crazy,

right? Yeah So anyways, yeah, I and I have no

problem with her playing the part It doesn't

it doesn't faze me whatsoever. It's not my demographic.

Anyway, I don't really care It's I'm not gonna

be watching it regardless of who they have as

Batwoman. So But you know great for them for

the representation and for you know doing what

they're gonna do with it and Yeah As far as Other

changes in television you mentioned the Wonder

Years reboot mm -hmm Which is going to be a black

family instead of a white family which it looks

like Fred Savage the star of the original series

will direct the pilot and executive produce So

it will have some ties with the original as far

as production crew and But it I'm guessing that

it will not have any of the original cast As

it's probably not probably because it's gonna

be going in a totally different direction I Forget

there was another series a few years back that

they did this with party of five that they changed

the cast to be Don't think it was that there

was another one that was all white and then they

changed it all black and then it got cancelled

shortly thereafter No, but party of five is one

of the ones that did that because obviously the

original party of five was an entire Was an all

-white family and then the new party of five

they made it be all about The kids are in America

their parents got deported and this that and

the other thing and immigration and whatever

else and I'm only saying that because that's

what I remember I'm not actually which I'm probably

should just look it up myself, but But that's

what I remember hearing about it Yeah, I don't

think it lasted that long yeah, I don't think

it did either and to be honest it Again, I never

was a huge fan of the original Wonder Years,

so it doesn't resonate with me anyway. No. But

I find it interesting that that's one of the

series that they chose to resurrect. Yeah, so

it's funny, both God -Friended Me and Party of

Five got cancelled. The news came out in April,

actually three days apart, April 14th and April

17th of this year. party of five reboot cancel

that freeform after one season uh party of five

the amy lippman and christopher keezer reboot

of their 1990s fox family drama has been canceled

by freeform after one season the series which

reimagined the original show's orphaned salinger

children as the separated by deportation acostas

aired its 90 minute season finale on march 4th

so yeah it Didn't last at all and that's the

thing a lot of shows don't last anymore No because

and you know what the wonder gears thing? again

to my knowledge again, I'm not looking this up,

but You look at the Bernie Mac show You look

at blackish which is on ABC Come you know comedians,

you know, Bernie Mac specifically comedian may

the man rest in peace had his own television

show That was his own thing Maybe it was based

on partial of his real family or not same thing

with blackish. Maybe it's you know based on One

of the producers or creator or whoever. Maybe

it's based on their family kind of thing or whatever

That's original content that isn't taking the

name of the wonder years putting some other family

into it hmm I don't know man it just it's it's

crazy this is why I kind of stick to cartoons

and comics so so yeah there's also so you could

say we got this cancelled You need to go online

right now and buy that website for a dollar What

we got this cancelled dot -com that's right Seeing

is how you have you know extreme prediction powers

Sometimes it doesn't play out as well as I'd

like Can't win them all No, it's not Pokemon.

I don't know where you're trying to go with this,

but I'm just going to go ahead and take the reins

for a second. Normally, at least over the last,

since we've been out here in Washington, I haven't

really splurged on anything because you can't

really afford to at this point. However, when

I find a good deal, as long as I can get the

deal, I'll jump on it. So I went to local area

target over actually over the bridge in Portland,

Oregon. And I saw the target exclusive Funko

pop caddyshack gopher pop. Now this is a target

exclusive. It comes with a Bushwood country club

hat and the pop inside is a flocked version of

the gopher that they did on the I'm looking at

the displays and I see the box and I'm like,

oh, okay. I see the price and then this is up

above, you know, the rest of the shelves. I see

the price and I'm like, oh, $5 .99? Heck yeah.

This thing is normally $25. So I grab it. I actually

took a picture of it where the price tag was.

I didn't move anything. I didn't change anything.

I took a picture. I grabbed it. As soon as I

grabbed it, I looked down. I see where all the

other ones are supposed to be. the price tag

of the $25 so I go over to the guy and I'm like

hey, you know if you walk over here with me and

and I show you this I Found this marked as $5

.99 now I know technically it's in the wrong

spot and I know technically it's going to be

$25 because that's the price But let's face it

these there were like seven of them there These

things are not flying off the shelves. He goes.

Oh, yeah. No, it's in the wrong spot. I'll give

it to you for six bucks Okay, so there's that

I go into another store It's actually our grocery

store, which has an electronics department in

it, but it's in another part of the store. Anyway

Basically Kroger. It's Fred Meyer Because Kroger

owns all the Fred Myers now So I go over there

and I see the Elastigirl on Elasticycle Funko

Pop from the Incredibles 2. This one is also

normally a $25 item. It was marked down 70 %

off. They had like 10 of these things. I got

it for $7 .37. So basically for 15 bucks, I basically

got two Funko Pops that are... MSRP did 25 basically

two pops for $50. I got for 15 almost So yay

deals It's funny Hey, I Wasn't actually sure

the gopher thing was gonna work, but the guy

was super cool. So absolutely love that target

over at Cascades in Portland You wouldn't you

want to hear something that's not not funny.

Oh Well they're talking about Tron 3 Again? Yeah,

well it was trending Yesterday, I believe And

it's somebody says yeah, there's and again. It's

it's another one of those Another one of those

stupid rumors It says, breaking, Disney confirms

that Tron 3 is officially in development. Which,

I've yet to see a press release on this anywhere.

It says that it has a script and is in development,

says a Disney executive, which I'm seeing it

at a couple different places now, like The Escapist

has it, which is a little bit more reputable

than Random Dude on Twitter. Okay, so right now

all referencing the same guy on Twitter though

And so and it's again Yeah, they said it's more

of a sequel than a reboot they're saying that

the legacy cast could return and could be A region

of the cancelled Toronto Ascension, which saw

the grid invade the real world And feature a

rumored character named Ares or something There

was some interview with a Disney exec, Mitchell

Lide, at Light the Fuse pod. They're saying that

likely it's going to have Jared Leto, which is

the main thing that I've seen everybody complaining

about. Disney until Disney on social media says

hey Tron 3 is coming Disney Plus or whatever

or until The the stars actually come out and

say yeah, we just finished Tron 3 or whatever.

I'm not going to believe it I wish they hadn't

have dropped the Tron 3 ascension thing. I hope

they go back to that story because I Don't think

Tron needs a reboot Tron didn't necessarily need

a sequel Ladies and gentlemen next week you can

go over to studio 2009 and check out episode

7 not every movie needs a sequel however Because

it did have a sequel It actually made me go and

I've told this story before made me go back and

watch the first film I have the two first the

the the two Tron movies on my voodoo account

now But when legacy was coming out back in 2011

I was like, ooh, I need to see this. Wait, no,

I need to see the first film first because I

was two years old when the first movie came out.

So I never hit my radar at the time. So I remember

the first time I saw Tron. It was in like a 10

part YouTube playlist. Like, oh, God. But I absolutely

love Tron. Know people have issues with Tron

Legacy, but I enjoy it I think it's super cool

and I was very excited to see where they were

gonna take the story Does it need more than a

third movie kind of thing? No, probably not but

Who knows as long as they don't wait 20 or 40

years to do it Sure. Why not? Well, I thought

that they could have used one to be honest And

I really enjoyed the second one, but if they

don't have anybody from the second one in the

third one, I'm going to feel kind of... Yeah,

that might feel a little... Yeah. So, yeah, that's

about the only thing that's going to have me

kind of... on the whole thing. But, yeah, I mean,

that's the main thing I got going. As far as

like the rumors and all the talk I would be happy

for a Tron 3 But I love when they put out the

Tron the next day thing it was on the blu -ray

I think and it's it's on you can find it on YouTube

but it's basically we finally see Ram in the

real world and We see Bruce box lightener as

obviously Alan Slash Tron talking with him and

what I thought that was really cool. And I thought

that their whole thing of potentially having

seeing Murphy's character of Edward Dillinger

Jr. like continuing that kind of rivalry thing.

I thought that was going to be super cool. But

whatever happens is going to happen. Whatever

doesn't happen won't happen kind of thing is

how I look at it right now. Yeah. so Yeah So

yeah, I know this is What's that good? Oh good?

Well, I was gonna say so that kind of about rounds

out everything like there's not really a whole

lot else to go on at the moment So that's that's

pretty much all I wanted to bring up this episode

so What I would pose to the listeners are is
