00:24ha
00:24that was for
00:26the pre-show
00:27and of course
00:29It's the number one nighttime jockey here in Tampa Bay, Florida.
00:31Mr. Joey Franchise, Wild 94.1's in the building.
00:34We're here.
00:34We're here.
00:35Yes.
00:35And if you are watching the recording of this video, yes, we are playing some Ultimate Marvel vs.
00:44Camcom 3 while we're getting warmed up, while we're keeping the Checkpoint XP audience entertained.
00:51Because, you know, I'm sure they don't want to hear us talk all day and want to see some video game action.
00:56I don't know.
00:57I'm going to look at me.
00:59Oh, man.
01:02So, what's up?
01:03What's up, everybody?
01:04What's up, everybody in Geek Culture Congress land?
01:07And today we're talking about a little bit about everything.
01:10Apparently, there was some introductions to characters that we didn't even know that were in Infinity War and Endgame, the end of Endgame.
01:19Yeah.
01:19Yeah.
01:19So, one of the directors let us know, and he had an interview, and he was talking about some hidden Easter eggs that a lot of people saw, Howard the Duck, of course.
01:36Yeah, it was Howard the Duck.
01:36And apparently there was an introduction to Richard Reier.
01:39They had a little Easter egg of Nova in that battle scene.
01:43I didn't see the battle.
01:44It was actually in the big final battle scene?
01:46Yeah, yeah.
01:47Apparently it was.
01:48And I didn't see it.
01:50I missed it.
01:51I don't know where that was.
01:52And I've watched the movie like 13 times since I got it.
01:57I have no idea when that happened.
02:02I guess supposedly when Howard the Duck came out of the portal.
02:05I guess that's the time that Nova supposedly came out.
02:09Was it Nova or the actual Nova Corps?
02:11Because I know it was.
02:12Supposedly.
02:13You had everybody from the same thing?
02:15He said in a little interview, he said, look closely at that scene again, and you will see Richard Reier in the background of the shot.
02:21Yeah, Easter egg.
02:22Nobody's noticed him.
02:23And that came from who?
02:25That came from one of the directors, one of the Russo brothers.
02:28That came from the Russo?
02:28He was on Wired.
02:30Nah, he just wants us to see the movie.
02:31That's wild, yeah.
02:32He's just trying to get another view out of us.
02:34They're trying to capitalize on these Blu-ray sales.
02:37Yeah, man.
02:37You conquered a top grossing movie of all time, and now you want DVD sales.
02:42I really like that.
02:43I really like that character.
02:45I really like that.
02:46Nova?
02:46Yeah, I really like that character.
02:48I really like that character.
02:49It'll be interesting because, you know, one thing I was hoping that we saw in Endgame was Thanos take the Power Stone from Xandar.
03:00Yeah.
03:00And we never saw that.
03:01Yeah, we just kind of get it.
03:03Maybe we'll get a Thanos backstory.
03:04I hope so.
03:05I hope that plays a part in maybe Eternals, maybe?
03:09Right.
03:10I don't know.
03:11Hmm.
03:11But, I mean, there also is an Easter egg for Namor.
03:17We all know that.
03:17Yeah.
03:18That was the part where...
03:20Well, we assumed that.
03:22No, but that's a perfect alley-oop there.
03:24Yeah, it is.
03:25That's like, you know, Russell Westbrook off the backboard, the James Harden type.
03:30You know what I mean?
03:31What if it's just a regular fish?
03:32Yeah, we are.
03:33We are assuming that.
03:34It's like some flounder, giant flounder, some mutated flounder.
03:38Because Disney owns it.
03:39It's like the Little Mermaid.
03:40It's her father.
03:41Yeah, that's true.
03:42Yo, that's where you can tie in the Marvel Universe with the Disney characters, right there.
03:46That's true, that's true.
03:47Ariel, bong, right there.
03:49I'm sure they would love that.
03:50King Triton, right there.
03:51I don't know if they want to cross those cables.
03:54I don't think they want to cross those cables.
03:58Oh, man, talking about...
03:59They have their own version of Secret Wars.
04:01It'd be like Lion King, Ariel.
04:04Captain America takes on Scar.
04:06Yeah, facts.
04:09Apparently, Sony has a brand new billion dollar movie, their best movie of all time.
04:15Guess what that movie is?
04:16What's that?
04:18Far From Home, Spider-Man.
04:19Oh, yes, that's right.
04:20The first billion dollar movie.
04:21Did you say billion dollars?
04:22Yeah, billion dollars.
04:23Billion.
04:24What a one B.
04:25I wonder how Toby and Andrew Garfield feel.
04:27There's no way that movie...
04:28I want you to share...
04:29It was really good, though.
04:30Because the CheckpointXP people are new to us, Tarek.
04:32Share your feelings about Spider-Man Far From Home, bro.
04:35Yeah, I don't know why you hate Spider-Man Far From Home, bro.
04:37In a sentence, it is the...
04:40It's a more boring Spider-Man Homecoming.
04:44You're wild, bro.
04:45You're wild, man.
04:47Yo, pass the sticks, man.
04:48Let me see the sticks.
04:48Oh, here you go.
04:49Here you go.
04:49He's got to...
04:50He's playing computers.
04:51He's got to go back and fix it.
04:53You're losing, too.
04:54Yeah, versus...
04:54But no.
04:55Spider-Man Far From Home...
04:56It's not too late to tap out.
04:57The computer's taking...
04:58Definitely top ten.
04:59And here's the thing.
04:59Not only did it make a billy...
05:00MCU?
05:02No.
05:02You don't put that in a pot tempter?
05:04No.
05:04I'm not sure it's better than Ant-Man.
05:06Wow.
05:08I'm being honest with you.
05:09Wow.
05:09Ant-Man was...
05:10You know, okay.
05:11Ant-Man was a fun movie, but...
05:12I don't know.
05:14I'm not positive.
05:16Well, listen.
05:17All I can say...
05:18The movie was obviously...
05:19It defeated...
05:19So, apparently, it defeated Skyfall, which is a James Bond movie, right?
05:23Yeah.
05:23So, it defeated Skyfall.
05:24But you watched a James Bond movie?
05:25As far as Sony movies.
05:27You watched a James Bond movie?
05:28Yeah, there's plenty of people already.
05:29Yeah, yeah.
05:30Skyfall was a big movie, yeah.
05:31That is still watching movies.
05:32Hey, I like...
05:33I like that.
05:34I like that.
05:35What's...
05:35Oh, what happened to our cameras?
05:37So...
05:37Let's see if we can fix them here while we're doing our show.
05:40Are we saying that Black Panther didn't make a billion?
05:41I thought it did.
05:42You know what?
05:43That's a good question.
05:44I think we need...
05:45This can't be statistically accurate.
05:46We need Joey Franchise to research that for us.
05:49How about that?
05:50While we are doing our show.
05:52But listen...
05:53See if we can reconnect to the camera there.
05:54Yeah, obviously, it wasn't that bad because they're actually going to be re-releasing.
05:56The great Wi-Fi here in the office is messing with us.
05:58They're going to be re-releasing Spider-Man Fall From Home in theaters once again.
06:02It's a money grab.
06:03Listen, it wasn't bad.
06:04It wasn't bad.
06:05Spider-Man wasn't bad.
06:06But it wasn't...
06:07The hype on it...
06:08Really?
06:09Yeah, it was not nearly...
06:10But here's the...
06:11I don't know if this is going to be a trend for Marvel because we all know when Avengers
06:15came out and they wanted to reach that number one grossing movie of all time, they re-released
06:20it with that Hulk scene, deleted Hulk scene, and a Stan Lee tribute.
06:26Stan Lee tribute.
06:27So now they're going to do Spider-Man Fall From Home and they're going to add new scenes.
06:31It's going to be a director's cut.
06:33It's not going to be like that whack, like, hey, we got a deleted scene or two that we want
06:37to show you.
06:38I'm buying the DVD when it comes out.
06:40I mean, let's be clear.
06:41I think we're going to see where he takes on the gang in the trailers that they never
06:45showed in theaters.
06:46I think they're going to show that and I can get a couple other scenes that were cut out.
06:51So I wonder if there's going to be any that lead to, like, Mysterio actually still being
06:55alive.
06:57You think he's still alive?
06:58I think so.
06:59I mean, the guy's a master manipulator.
07:01He manipulates everything you see.
07:03We got the J. Jonah Jameson thing.
07:04We got Mary Jane knows he's Spider-Man.
07:07Man, we don't need to have Mysterio alive.
07:09There's no reason for that.
07:11But you do need it for Sinister Six.
07:15You might be right on that.
07:17What happened?
07:17You had enough?
07:18I'm trying to get your video.
07:20Oh, yeah.
07:21That's secondary.
07:22It's OK.
07:23So talking about universes, comic book universes, or actually, I've been catching up on my
07:30Arrowverse.
07:31Have you?
07:31Honestly, I've tapped out of Arrowverse.
07:33I know.
07:34It's difficult.
07:34You're the only one that's kind of still hanging on.
07:36Yeah, it's difficult.
07:38Because now he's, what, Flash?
07:39It's difficult.
07:40And all types of stuff?
07:41Like, Arrow's Flash, Flash's Arrow.
07:43Like, what the hell's going on over there?
07:44You got the Infinite Earths situation going on, right?
07:47Listen, Speedy, if you have as much time to be bored, I'm really happy for you, man.
07:51I was kind of bored.
07:52I was like, what am I going to watch this time?
07:54I need to catch up on the Arrowverse.
07:56You know, for the sake of this show, you know what I mean?
07:58Come on.
07:58You need to talk about...
07:59You're making that sacrifice.
08:01People like that.
08:02That's what we'll do.
08:02I'll watch the Arrowverse stuff, right?
08:04And actually, what's coming up is actually pretty interesting.
08:07The Crisis on Infinite Earths.
08:09So, apparently...
08:11Is it OK if I spoil it for you guys?
08:13I don't know.
08:13I'm not going to.
08:15Unless they make an Arrow movie, I'm not taking it for Arrow.
08:17OK, all right?
08:18In case you haven't caught up yet to Arrow, this is your chance to, you know, maybe go
08:22check out another channel and then come back.
08:24This is your warning, OK?
08:25So, apparently Arrow's going to sacrifice himself.
08:31To?
08:32For the monitor to protect the multiverse, apparently.
08:37OK?
08:37So, that's what they've been building up in the last season that he's going to pass on.
08:42OK?
08:43So, then in the other...
08:48I know.
08:49I'm trying to get my thoughts together.
08:51Not only was I watching Arrow, I was watching Flash, too, right?
08:53Oh, Flash.
08:54So, they're kind of, you know, combined.
08:56And they're kind of both teasing this crisis coming up.
08:59So, in Flash, they had...
09:03Flash is more of, like, the universe traveling person.
09:06Yes.
09:07Hardly any tease, except for, like, the end of the season.
09:11Mm-hmm.
09:12For, like, a moment.
09:13You know?
09:14But in Arrow, it was like, oh, yeah, you know?
09:17Like, he had a conversation with the monitor.
09:21I gotta be honest with you.
09:22Your description of me sounds like...
09:23That's not moving me at all, bro.
09:25It sounds like it's moving me, man.
09:26It looks like it's interesting because all the press that it's getting...
09:31All the press that it's getting...
09:33So, apparently, the gentleman who plays Adam on the show...
09:36Uh-huh.
09:36I forget...
09:37Brandon...
09:37Brandon Ruff, I believe his name is.
09:39Yeah, he's going to play an older Superman in the Crisis crossover.
09:45Mm-hmm.
09:45He's going to reprise Superman.
09:47Yeah.
09:47For the show.
09:48And also his character as well, the Adam character.
09:50We're doing way too much.
09:51Then, um, I get...
09:53With the gentleman, uh, Bert, who played alongside Adam West in the Batman 66 TV show.
09:59Uh-huh.
10:00Bert, he played Robin.
10:01Bert, uh, Ward, I think his name is.
10:05Bert Ward.
10:05Dude.
10:06He will...
10:06He's going to reprise Robin, an older Robin, for the show.
10:10Uh, we have...
10:11Uh, we have...
10:13Uh, Kevin Conroy.
10:14Yeah.
10:15Who's the...
10:15One of the most famous voices of Batman.
10:17He was actually at that time of Comic-Con.
10:18Mm-hmm.
10:19He's going to be playing an older Bruce Wayne in the Crisis on Infinite Earth show.
10:24So, I mean, it's, you know...
10:25Yeah.
10:25I'm interested a little bit.
10:26You're killing me.
10:27You're basically...
10:27It's like you're describing superhero Golden Girls.
10:30This is terrible.
10:31No, but that's my other issue with it.
10:33So, it is kind of campy.
10:34Like, I was trying to, like, get through some episodes, and I'm like, man, you know...
10:38Yeah.
10:38I don't know, you know, like, the seriousness is there sometimes, but then it's like...
10:42That's like, they have the villain of the week, should I say, episodes?
10:46Yeah.
10:46You know?
10:47Sometimes you just need to end.
10:49You know, sometimes you just need to say...
10:51This is the last Arrow season.
10:52That's it.
10:52It's done.
10:52You just need to say, all right, we've told all the stories.
10:55We can't come up with any new type of Arrows.
10:58Are you playing online?
10:59Trying to figure out what the hell...
11:00There's 12...
11:00You just want to go, look.
11:01You want to go to, uh...
11:03There's 12 flashbacks.
11:04Go to offline mode.
11:05Go to offline mode.
11:07Go back.
11:08Off...
11:09Go.
11:10Go up.
11:12Offline.
11:12There you go.
11:13Yeah.
11:13I pick versus.
11:14And there you go.
11:15All right.
11:15I bet.
11:16I only have this one.
11:17You got to turn the other controller on.
11:18Yeah.
11:19And I don't think I've gotten this far in the game at all.
11:21Yeah.
11:21Yeah.
11:22Yeah.
11:23It's, um...
11:23Yeah, I like Kevin.
11:24Kevin Conroy's going to be dope.
11:26Yeah.
11:26So, you know, I think the only problem I have with Kevin Conroy is, of course, he's the
11:32voice of Batman, Bruce Wayne, right?
11:34But have you ever seen him, his pictures?
11:37No, I have not.
11:38He's a lengthy, skinny dude, man.
11:41Well, I mean, you know, that's what happens when you age.
11:43Well, you know...
11:44Maybe he had a degenerative bone disease.
11:45I don't know.
11:46Like, dang, he's going to be that old of a Bruce Wayne?
11:48Disease, something the Joker did?
11:50But, yeah, think about all the old Bruce Wayne's that we've had in animation and in
11:56the comic books, like, you know, Batman Returns.
11:59I don't want old Bruce Wayne's.
12:00Or Dark Knight Returns.
12:01I'm one of those purists.
12:03I don't care.
12:04I don't care.
12:05But he's, you know, still, like, he has that...
12:08That vigor?
12:08No, it's not animated.
12:09This is Crisis on Infinite Earths that is going to be the next upcoming crossover for
12:16the Arrowverse, which is on the CW.
12:18So it's going to include the Arrow show, the last season of the Arrow show ever.
12:24There's another season of Flash.
12:25Supposedly, the whole Flash season is going to be about the Crisis on Infinite Earths.
12:29Yeah.
12:30Apparently.
12:31Supergirl.
12:32And then we have the Batwoman show coming soon.
12:35And then also the Legends of Tomorrow, which I don't know.
12:38I don't know if there's any fans of that.
12:41Yeah, it's just...
12:42Yeah, he's...
12:43Yeah, Omega.
12:45People are talking to me on the chat here, so sorry.
12:47Okay, that's fine.
12:47But Omega Widall is saying that, yeah, he doesn't know if he has the look of Bruce.
12:55And, you know, I don't know.
12:57Yeah.
12:58I guess you could do a lot with, you know, magic, you know, TV magic.
13:02I mean, I am glad that they're doing that storyline, because it's a very popular storyline
13:05in the comics.
13:06Right.
13:06But it's something they probably should have done earlier when we were all watching it.
13:11So we have a final release date for Disney Plus, which you've been waiting for to get.
13:16I'm very excited about Disney Plus.
13:18Yeah?
13:18You're going to get the whole package?
13:21No.
13:21Well, I'm like, no.
13:22I'm going to get the cheapest one where I can just watch some Marvel stuff.
13:26I just want to see, you know...
13:26Still disappointing, Tarek.
13:28Listen, I'm on a budget here, man.
13:30You've got to invest in your craft, okay?
13:31I'll be sharing somebody's password.
13:34Yeah, hold me down, man.
13:36So we've got a date.
13:37November 12th.
13:38Two days after my birthday.
13:39Hey.
13:40All right.
13:40It's your birthday gift right there for you.
13:42Yeah.
13:42I'm excited.
13:44So what show are you looking forward to most on Disney Plus?
13:47I just want to see them all.
13:48I really don't have one that I say, oh, yeah, I really want to see more than the other.
13:51I think I want to see them all.
13:53That's such a cop-out, man.
13:54It is, but I have to see them all.
13:57It's just like we just finished talking about the Arrowverse.
13:59I caught up on Arrow, and I'm like, all right, I'm going to catch up on Flash.
14:04I caught up on Flash.
14:06Now I'm trying to catch up on Legends.
14:07When I'm done with Legends, I'm going to try and catch up on Supergirl, so I'm ready
14:10for what's coming up.
14:12You have no space for hobbies, do you, Speedy?
14:14This is my hobby.
14:15You're catching up on all these things.
14:16What are you talking about?
14:16This is my hobby.
14:17Okay, this is your hobby.
14:18All right.
14:20Winter Soldier and Falcon.
14:21That's the one I want.
14:22Are you guys fighting each other or what?
14:23No, we are not.
14:24No, we are not.
14:24This is a disappointment.
14:26Give me the controller.
14:27Let's go.
14:27No, no, no, no.
14:28Winter Soldier and Falcon is the one I'm looking forward to the most.
14:30Yeah?
14:31Yeah.
14:31Yeah, but WandaVision, just because it's leading to Doctor Strange, who I'm actually
14:36playing with right now, in the multiverse, because I know that's going to tie in directly.
14:41Oh, WandaVision is on there.
14:42Yeah.
14:43So do you think that WandaVision is going to be the intro to Mutants in the MCU?
14:48Do you think they're going to make that happen?
14:49I think everyone's going to have to wait for the intro to Mutants.
14:53Yeah.
14:54I think it's too soon.
14:55If they've already shot these things, you know, like if it's going to be coming out
14:58in November, WandaVision, for instance, when does that come out?
15:01Is that November also?
15:03I don't know.
15:04I don't have the thing here.
15:05If it's already been shot, they're not going to have a chance to introduce Mutants.
15:10I don't think they know how they want to introduce Mutants yet.
15:13Did you ever catch up?
15:14Did you check out that book that I told you, The Powers of X?
15:17I did not get a chance to check that out now.
15:19I was supposed to later talking about that Maria McTaggart, her mutant power is reviving
15:26herself, you know, not reviving herself, but reincarnating herself.
15:30But she always remembers the memories because she always tries to change what happens.
15:34Yeah.
15:35So they're trying to say that that's going to be the intro to, they're going to use that
15:40some, something of that, maybe, maybe not that full context, but something like that
15:44to introduce why Mutants were not involved in anything that's happened so far.
15:50Yeah.
15:51Yeah.
15:52Do you see?
15:52Yeah.
15:53I agree.
15:54I'm here with you a hundred percent.
15:56I mean, you're here.
15:57Like, that's a stretch.
15:58Yeah.
15:58You know, you know, the speculation is wild.
16:03This is wild out there.
16:04I'm not a fan.
16:05I'm not a fan of that premise, but I think Kevin Feige loves all the speculation.
16:08What do you think?
16:09Oh, he's there.
16:09These guys are right.
16:10You know what?
16:11It keeps them in the conversation.
16:11It keeps them in the conversation consistently.
16:13I've yet to hear anything about DC.
16:15Like Marvel just continues to just do it right.
16:17Yeah.
16:18From the comics to the movies.
16:21It's like, I mean, how many times do we have to sit here and watch Endgame to catch
16:24all these Easter eggs that are going to leave in the phase four, five, six,
16:27and seven?
16:27And then, you know, this would be a great time for another comic book chain.
16:31Yeah.
16:31Yeah, for real.
16:32Like, this would be a great time for Image to, like, bring back Wildcats.
16:36Well, as opposed to that creator, he's the co-creator of Deadpool, the guy who did
16:42Wildcats.
16:42Oh, is he?
16:43Yeah.
16:43He was like, oh, I don't ever want to touch that ever again.
16:46Something like that.
16:46He said in an interview, yeah.
16:47I read that somewhere.
16:49It'd be great for somebody to bring it back.
16:50Could be wrong.
16:50Sorry.
16:50I apologize if that's incorrect.
16:52Or, you know, I think they're doing Spawn.
16:53I do like Savage Dragon, though.
16:54Yeah.
16:55They had a couple of animated shows of Savage Dragon.
16:57Yeah, they did have an animated show.
16:59A lot of people liked that animated show.
17:01Yeah.
17:01Mm-hmm.
17:02It was basically like one-man A-team.
17:03Yeah.
17:05It was like an A-team.
17:07Yeah, it was like an A-team, man.
17:07Like a mutated animal A-team.
17:10Yeah.
17:10Yeah.
17:11All kinds of different.
17:12That old captain is like, all right, dragon, I'm tired of you destroying everything.
17:17Speaking of Spawn real quick, like, what's going on with that movie?
17:19Because I heard Jamie Foxx is...
17:20Jamie Foxx is spearheading it just as Marsha Ali spearheaded it.
17:25Blade.
17:26Yeah.
17:26Jamie Foxx is rumored to be spearheading Spawn.
17:30I think they're doing it.
17:31I think Seth...
17:32Todd McFarlane, I'm sorry.
17:33I think...
17:34Is looking to direct.
17:35What did Todd McFarlane do again?
17:36He spawned.
17:37He did spawn.
17:38Oh, okay.
17:38Yeah.
17:38Yeah.
17:39And he did the animated series also.
17:41I think he's looking to direct.
17:43Interesting.
17:43So, that's supposedly still happening.
17:47But who knows, man?
17:48This is Jamie Foxx we're talking about.
17:50You know, Todd McFarlane wants to direct it, I believe, and make them use his script like
17:55he wants it all his way.
17:56His way or the highway.
17:57Yeah.
17:58That's his take on this new iteration of Spawn.
18:01I think if you get the star power, if Jamie Foxx gets the script and really likes it and
18:05wants to do it, and the Todd McFarlane, they'll do it.
18:08I don't know what studio would do it, though.
18:09I think he's got to make it happen.
18:12He's got to get somebody, one of these companies with money to say, okay, yeah, we'll invest
18:18in this.
18:19You know what I mean?
18:19I think that's where it's at right now.
18:21You know, maybe it doesn't have to be a $100 million film, though.
18:24Because what, Deadpool was at $72 million it cost to make it?
18:27I mean, technically, he said he wants to make it like a horror movie, so I mean, you know,
18:30I know a lot of horror movies that have made it happen with a lot less, you know?
18:34Yeah, have you seen some of these horror movies, though?
18:38I've seen some good ones.
18:39I'm being optimistic.
18:40I'm being optimistic.
18:41That's a Netflix and chill thing.
18:42So, talking about Marvel vs. DC, supposedly, Jason Momoa has seen the Snyder cut of Justice
18:49League.
18:49He's seen it.
18:50So, Jason Momoa has seen it?
18:50He has seen it.
18:51Okay.
18:52Supposedly.
18:52Well, let's see the live of the day.
18:53And he said, in an interview, he said it's sick.
18:57Sucks?
18:58No, sick.
18:58Oh, sick.
18:59Like, it's dope.
18:59Like, it's like, it would blow everybody's mind.
19:03What did we not see?
19:05Well, from what I read, because I think on, let's see.
19:11Oh, wait.
19:11Omega, what are you talking to me?
19:12I'm just glad X-Men is out of Bryan Singer's hands.
19:15X-Men out of Bryan Singer's hands?
19:17Yeah, I'm glad it's out of Bryan Singer's hands.
19:18That needed to be done, and I'm so glad that that's back where it belongs, and people who
19:25are going to do it justice, you know?
19:27It was done justice, though.
19:29Everybody needs to get over themselves.
19:30They did 10 movies.
19:31I didn't dislike Dark Phoenix, you know?
19:35Oh, for X-Men?
19:35Yeah, they did.
19:36They tried.
19:36They did 10 movies.
19:37Six of them were good.
19:38And you gotta say, they started it back in, like, what?
19:39Oh, one?
19:4099.
19:41Yeah.
19:42I didn't dislike Dark Phoenix.
19:44No, it wasn't awful.
19:45It wasn't that bad.
19:46It was just, nobody cared.
19:47I mean, just, like, put it up against what it was, what we're, what's going on, you
19:53know, like, Endgame and all these great movies, you know?
19:55Listen, if you're going to go meet the Wu-Tang Clan, and they're like, yo, I'm going to meet
19:59Meth, and then you get there, it's just you, God, and Master Killer, you're like, I mean,
20:04they're in it, but that's what Dark Phoenix is to Endgame.
20:09Yeah.
20:10I don't know, guys.
20:11I don't know.
20:11So speaking of friends, like, so we were going to talk about this before.
20:14I think I'm the only one that's seen this.
20:15Which one?
20:16The Boys.
20:16The Boys?
20:17Oh, yeah, you are.
20:17Oh, yeah, before we talk about the Boys, before we talk about the Boys, it's the Justice League
20:22thing.
20:22So, apparently, like, all that Nightscape stuff was, like, a thing in the movie, and just
20:28to make a long story short, supposedly, the reason why Flash went back in the past was
20:33to tell Bruce that Lois Lane was the key for Superman not losing, going crazy, and turning
20:42into the Nightscape.
20:43Yeah.
20:44So that was it.
20:46It's like the Injustice story, kind of.
20:48That's what it was, you know?
20:49A little bit, you know?
20:51So, in a nutshell, that's without trying to go on the internet right now and finding the
20:56source material.
20:57But, apparently, like, all that's tied together.
21:01Yeah.
21:01And then when the other director came in, that's why I was, like, when we saw it, it's
21:04like, uh, a little muddy.
21:06Yeah, muddy's the word I was looking for.
21:07Well, you know what, man?
21:08I will say this.
21:09In hindsight, Justice League, not terrible.
21:15No, it wasn't.
21:15Not terrible.
21:16It wasn't terrible.
21:18Not good.
21:19Hit your camera there, Joey?
21:20Yeah.
21:21Bam.
21:22Yeah.
21:22Terrible.
21:23Not terrible like our Wi-Fi.
21:24Yeah.
21:25For real.
21:27But they just need to, you know what I watched over the weekend?
21:30Yeah.
21:30Don't be mad at me.
21:31What's that?
21:32I watched Green Lantern.
21:33I watched it.
21:34Really?
21:34Old Green Lantern?
21:35I watched it when it was on TV.
21:37Yeah, it was on television.
21:38So, what was the number viewing that was for you?
21:43That was number three.
21:44Number three?
21:45So, give us your take on number three viewing of the Ryan Reynolds Green Lantern.
21:50I mean, it still has some issues.
21:53No.
21:54You know where the issue is right there for me?
21:55You know what it was for me in that movie?
21:57I know it was for you.
21:58But when they're in like some office, whatever, when the villain comes out, like the movie just
22:03completely like derails right there.
22:05Yeah.
22:06Ryan Reynolds' Green Lantern wasn't bad.
22:08No.
22:09It's just, you know.
22:10It was just a bad, they set him up.
22:12Yeah, they set him up for failure.
22:13Pass that controller.
22:15What's up, bro?
22:15What's up?
22:15Oh, my fault.
22:16It's like it out.
22:17We're not playing against each other?
22:18What's up?
22:19Man, Joey has a...
22:21I know.
22:22He like locked everybody out.
22:23He has actually assembled...
22:24He locked everybody out.
22:24I'll close it.
22:26This is how nerdy Joey is.
22:27He actually assembled the Defenders.
22:29Main menu, bro.
22:29Come on.
22:30Here's the thing.
22:31When it comes to me playing Capcom versus Marvel, or Marvel versus Capcom, I'm always
22:35like selecting Marvel characters.
22:37Yeah.
22:38I never play with Capcom characters.
22:40It's all right.
22:40I feel weird running around with Mega Man.
22:42There's nothing wrong with that.
22:45Yeah, main menu.
22:46I will say that Strider is the first video game I ever loved.
22:49Versus...
22:49There you go.
22:50You guys ever play Strider?
22:51No.
22:52You're too young.
22:52Yeah, yeah.
22:54Strider was the first video game I ever loved.
22:56Oh, shit.
22:56Strider.
22:56Okay, I got a press option.
22:58There you go.
22:58That was Google, man.
22:58That doesn't even sound familiar.
22:59All right.
23:00That's what that dude is.
23:01It was stabbing one of the...
23:02Oh!
23:02So tell me more about the Green Lantern there.
23:06Yeah, the Green Lantern, it still has some good moments in it, man.
23:10They pulled it off.
23:10They pulled off the whole look of what the Green Lantern can do.
23:14Yeah?
23:14So it wasn't...
23:16I'm looking at movies in hindsight and being like, maybe I was a little too harsh.
23:20Really?
23:21Yeah.
23:22I don't know, man.
23:22That middle part, it's like a train wreck.
23:25Yeah, it's terrible.
23:26The movie's going good, and then when it gets to that middle part where the villain comes
23:29out, he reveals himself, the Sinistro or whatever, or I guess...
23:34Sinistro's not the villain.
23:35Yeah, it's...
23:37It just...
23:38Yeah.
23:39Whenever the...
23:40Derails.
23:40Whenever the villain is...
23:41I don't know if it's Sinistro, I think it's the brain of the Sinistro planet or whatever.
23:45Whenever the villain is a cloud...
23:47Yeah, that's what...
23:48Yeah.
23:48You're going to have some issues.
23:50Yeah.
23:50Remember Fantastic Four?
23:52Yeah, yeah.
23:52It was Galactus.
23:53Yeah, it was a storm cloud.
23:55I'm fighting.
23:56I'm fighting with this Wi-Fi here.
23:58Yeah.
23:59Let's see here.
24:00Can I tell you guys about the boys?
24:01Oh, yes.
24:02Tell us about the boys now because I'm excited to see that.
24:04I got more of this Justice League stuff that I'm curious about.
24:07Did they hint at Green Lantern in it?
24:08Oh, you've been beating me up while I've been...
24:10You got multitask, baby.
24:13Did they mention Green Lantern in it?
24:15So the...
24:16We're in Justice League?
24:18For that Justice League Snyder cut?
24:18No, they just had it in...
24:20Justice League...
24:21Oh, so apparently that time travel, that flashback battle, remember that flashback battle?
24:28Yeah.
24:29Where there was a...
24:30Where they all were fighting the people of Apocalypse.
24:33Yeah.
24:34Yeah.
24:36Yeah, there was something important there, apparently.
24:40Well, they showed the Green Lanterns in that scene.
24:42Yeah, there was Green Lanterns in that scene.
24:44Yeah.
24:44And apparently there was something important in that.
24:47Yeah, like because the ring was like floating around at the end after they murked one of the dudes from the Green Lantern Corps.
24:53Yeah.
24:54Yeah.
24:54I mean, Justice League is...
24:58I don't know if we need to see director's cut.
25:01Oh, I didn't even get a chance to switch out.
25:02I don't ever want to see that cut.
25:03I'm kind of curious.
25:03No, why not?
25:04Because one thing I hated about it was how they brought Superman back to life.
25:09Yeah.
25:09That was so...
25:10Like the whole thing was convulsive.
25:12And I'm thinking to myself, like, you know, I understand, like, Zack Snyder, why he left the movie in the first place.
25:18You know, deal with a family issue.
25:21But then I'm looking at Josh Whedon, like, come on, bro.
25:23Like, you did a Veggie's...
25:24Was that like a setup?
25:25Was that Josh Whedon?
25:26That was Josh Whedon.
25:27He was the second half of that movie?
25:27Yeah.
25:28Oof.
25:29Yeah, he was supposedly the...
25:31See, I was trying to fix Tarek's camera.
25:34Oh, my bad.
25:34And you're beating me up.
25:36You can't...
25:36This is your game.
25:37Destroying you right now.
25:39I know.
25:40You're getting beat up by yellow.
25:41I got a rear.
25:42Sorry.
25:42Look, I'll even pass the controller there.
25:44Maroon and yellow.
25:45Playground rules.
25:46Pass the controller.
25:48All right.
25:49So, what else we got?
25:50Oh, man.
25:51Breaking news that happened, I believe, yesterday.
25:55Do you know...
25:55Have you watched He-Man before?
25:57Because you're a little younger than us.
25:58I saw something on Instagram about it.
26:01Me and Tarek, you know.
26:03I had never watched He-Man.
26:04That was before my time.
26:04No?
26:04That was before your time?
26:05You never watched He-Man?
26:05That was before my time.
26:06Well, unless they showed it on, like, Cartoon Network or something like that.
26:09There was another...
26:09There was a second He-Man that came out in, like, 2002.
26:12Yeah, that was...
26:13It was awful.
26:16That was the movie, right?
26:17I'll be honest with you.
26:17The movie?
26:18That live-action movie?
26:19It was a series.
26:20No.
26:20Oh, yeah.
26:20Was it a series?
26:21It was a series.
26:21It came out in, like, 2002.
26:22I don't remember that.
26:23It was terrible.
26:23Really?
26:25Now, I'm going to have to look that up because I don't even remember that.
26:27I'm out on these streets with this big stuff.
26:29See, your camera works there.
26:30Okay.
26:31And see if we can get you back.
26:35Get your back, your face here on the show.
26:37So, apparently, Kevin Smith and his team are doing a continuation of the stories that were
26:46already built on the original stories.
26:48For He-Man?
26:48Yeah.
26:49So, he's going to have a definitive ending.
26:51And the animation company that's doing it is the ones that did the Castlevania anime on
26:56the Netflix show.
26:57Okay.
26:58Well, that was dope.
26:58So, that was pretty dope.
26:59Yeah.
26:59So, I think definitely it has the chops to make it happen.
27:05And right now, the buzz on the internet is really good for it.
27:10So, you know, people are hyped for it.
27:13So, you know, I think Kevin Smith doesn't do wrong when it comes to, you know, genre stuff.
27:20I will go just to see Skeletor's Insults.
27:24That's the best part of He-Man.
27:25It's going to be on Netflix.
27:27It's going to be on Netflix, so you can binge it.
27:28I know that Skeletor was a savage with the insults.
27:30Yeah, man.
27:30He was great with the insults.
27:33Yeah.
27:33Yeah, Omega says that second He-Man was really bad.
27:36It wasn't.
27:37Now, I need to see it.
27:38Like, it was so bad that it got wiped from existence.
27:40Yeah, man.
27:40It was really bad.
27:41It's got to be on YouTube or something.
27:43Like, the origins of Orko or something like that.
27:46Oh, wow.
27:47You know, it was pretty bad, though.
27:48Yeah, that's horrible.
27:49That's no bueno.
27:50No bueno, no bueno, no bueno.
27:53So, yeah, I'm looking forward to that.
27:54I hope they do it justice.
27:56That's actually, I like this superhero stuff, but.
27:59What do you think about that?
28:00He's going to make it like a definitive ending to it.
28:02Like, a definitive final battle.
28:04Well, listen, as long.
28:05That's what they're selling it as.
28:07As long as they bring in.
28:08Oh, I'm dead.
28:09As long as they bring in She-Ra at some point, I'm Gucci.
28:12Well, I don't know.
28:13Because they have this, like, teen version of She-Ra that they rebooted on Netflix for younger people.
28:19Yeah.
28:19I wasn't aware of this.
28:20Yeah, it wasn't.
28:21It's not that great.
28:21I mean, it's cool, I guess, if you're a kid.
28:23You know, but, like, for fans, they were tearing it up.
28:27You know, they were like, oh, my God, what is this?
28:29You know what I mean?
28:29Yeah.
28:29Kind of like that Thundercats Go that they were going to come out with.
28:33You guys remember that?
28:34Yes.
28:34They never did come out with that?
28:36Yeah, but it wasn't that level of, like, hyperactive, like, in-your-face cartoon, should I say.
28:43But it was pretty close, supposedly.
28:45What's on Netflix right now.
28:47So, you know.
28:48I don't know if you want to check that out.
28:50No.
28:50Not at all.
28:51For some comedy, right?
28:51No.
28:52So, there's going to be plenty of Netflix comedy specials coming on that I will check
28:56out for a comedy.
28:57Thank you very much, Petey.
28:58I appreciate your offer.
29:01Oh, man.
29:02I'm going to say the name on that.
29:03Oh, man.
29:04So, I'm going to be in Kissimmee, guys.
29:06Okay.
29:06What's going on, Kissimmee?
29:07So, you guys know that I'm editing Albert King's comic book.
29:13Yeah.
29:13The Alien X comic book.
29:14So, tell the audience that you might be not familiar with it.
29:16Oh, yeah.
29:16So, I'm editor of my friend's comic book.
29:19He has his own comic book, which is called Alien X.
29:22It's on DeOtomis Comics, and it's available everywhere.
29:26Comixology, wherever you want to go get it.
29:28I'm just editing his story.
29:29I did not write the story.
29:31I'm just trying to help him make it more clear and concise as possible.
29:39Pops, we're not taking credit.
29:40Yeah.
29:42No, I did not write the story.
29:44You could definitely slid your name in there.
29:45No, no, no.
29:45I did not write the story.
29:46I'm just the editor.
29:47I am only the editor.
29:49But, remember, when he came to the show, we had him on the show.
29:52Everybody wants to check that out on the older show, just go to the website or check
29:56out our podcast feed and check out his show.
29:58But, you remember, we checked out issue one.
30:02Yes.
30:02And we both had a conversation on the side.
30:04We were like, uh, you know, it was a little rough.
30:09It was a little rough, you know?
30:11It was interesting, but it was rough, you know?
30:13Yeah, no, he had a great plot.
30:14He had a great plot.
30:14Yeah.
30:15So, I finally talked him into redoing issue one.
30:19Okay.
30:20Yes.
30:20Redoing it completely?
30:22Not completely.
30:23I couldn't bend his arm enough to redo it completely.
30:27Artists are sensitive about their stuff, man.
30:29Yeah.
30:29Well, you know, his issue was he had an old program.
30:33That's why the art was different from the art that he's doing now.
30:36Okay.
30:37So, he didn't want to change that art because it took him a long time to do it on the older
30:41program, whatever.
30:42Yeah.
30:42I was like, okay, buddy.
30:43No problem.
30:43But he added some new panels.
30:46We added some panels that were originally cut out.
30:49We combined some plots.
30:51It will go, remember, it will go from one plot to another plot and you're like, hey, what
30:56happened?
30:57You know what I mean?
30:58And so, hopefully, I did my best to combine those plots.
31:04They're about as together now as I can do it.
31:07Well, Speedy, I'm going to tell you, I'm going to be as harsh on you as you were on him.
31:11It better be tight.
31:12I tried my best.
31:14I did.
31:14I tried my best.
31:15But no, it's good.
31:16It's, you know, I approve of the final product so far.
31:20So, he's coming out with issue one.
31:24He is going to be exclusive at the Kissimmee Con, which is called the Infinity Con.
31:29That's going to be in Kissimmee at the Osceola Heritage Center over there on outskirts of Orlando.
31:36So, we'll be there.
31:37I'll be there all this weekend signing and with him as well.
31:41He'll be signing them as well.
31:42Because he's the creator and artist.
31:45And I'll be out there.
31:46I'll be out there representing Geek Culture Congress.
31:48Anybody who wants to come talk to us.
31:49That's this Saturday and Sunday.
31:51That's at the Infinity Comic Con in Kissimmee, Florida.
31:56That is in the Osceola Heritage Center.
32:01Outskirts of Orlando.
32:03Okay.
32:03About south of Universal.
32:06You know?
32:07So, I'll be out there.
32:08Go check me out.
32:09And, you know, hopefully check out my edit of his issue one.
32:15And then check out the other ones, which I also edited, too, as well.
32:18We're working on issue four right now.
32:20So, we're about three issues in.
32:23Can I?
32:24What's going on here?
32:25What are we doing here?
32:25It's so hard to run from this little ball of instruction.
32:29Oh, man.
32:30So, everybody that's watching the live feed here on Checkpoint SP, if you want to chime in
32:34on something, some breaking news, something that's bothering you, or something you just
32:39want to talk about here on the show, let's get in the chat here and let's talk, man.
32:45Bring up something.
32:45And we'll talk about it here on the show.
32:50Other than that, I think we're just here playing some video games.
32:55I definitely want to talk about The Boys.
32:57Oh, yes, yes, yes.
32:59I keep forgetting.
33:00Yeah, this movie would definitely set you down.
33:01Yeah.
33:01I did.
33:02Okay.
33:03So, finally, your final spoiler-free review of The Boys, Mr. Sarek Lewis, available on Amazon
33:10Prime.
33:11Perhaps the best comic book television show ever.
33:16I'm saying that based off one season.
33:18Yeah.
33:18That was dirty.
33:19That was dirty.
33:20Omega says also is dope.
33:22Only three episodes in, he says.
33:24Oh, man.
33:25Don't spell too much.
33:26Listen, it's so raw.
33:27I loved Punisher.
33:28I loved Daredevil.
33:29Yeah.
33:29First three seasons of Flash.
33:31Mm-hmm.
33:32I liked Jessica Jones.
33:35Pass the controller.
33:36I like...
33:36Don't smoke with me, man.
33:37I'm just body and all y'all right now.
33:38All right, all right, all right.
33:39I gave you a little trouble that time.
33:40All right.
33:40I like Jessica Jones, but I think this is the best one.
33:43Yeah?
33:43Yeah, it's the best one, man.
33:45Even the so-called...
33:46Because there's no real villain.
33:47I mean, there is, but...
33:49Is it like society?
33:49It's very hard to tell.
33:51Like, the lines are very skewed, and the acting is amazing.
33:55There's no hokiness about it, and if there is hokiness, it's like on purpose.
33:59Oh, wait.
33:59I don't want this character select.
34:01Don't be judging my character selection.
34:03Hilarious.
34:03I did random last time.
34:05Based off of just one season, I think it's the best comic book television show I've ever
34:10seen.
34:13I highly recommend it.
34:15Yeah, I can't wait.
34:16I got to steal your Amazon Prime account so I can watch it.
34:19Well, see, that's a little too personal.
34:22Next thing I know, you're buying turntables.
34:24Yeah, you know.
34:25I forgot to switch the card out.
34:28Like, dang, you know what?
34:29Sorry, you get the Amazon alerts.
34:32Maybe I'll download it for you.
34:33Serato dropped a new program.
34:35Yeah, I'm going to download it to my car drive for you.
34:38I don't know about that.
34:39Did it?
34:40Yeah.
34:40But no, that's something I definitely want to check because everybody just keeps telling
34:45me about it.
34:45Because I think it's like, you know, what if being a superhero was like, like a job, like
34:52kind of like a job, like the government or, you know what I'm saying, kind of got a hold
34:55of it.
34:56Yeah.
34:56Kind of like what they were trying to do in Civil War, right?
34:59Right.
35:00Yeah, that's basically it.
35:01And also, what if people who just suck got superpowers?
35:04Like, everyone who gets superpowers, they're always like, cool.
35:07And like, they want to do bad, you know.
35:09Not everybody had an Uncle Ben in their life.
35:12Nobody was ever told, you know, with great power comes great responsibility.
35:15Somebody did not have that talk.
35:17Yeah, somebody in the projects is getting superpowers.
35:19Yeah.
35:19And they're not doing nice things.
35:21And you know, you can't do it.
35:22It becomes like a 6-9 situation.
35:23You know what I mean?
35:24Where you just got all these hood people just like, you know, and you're just a mascot.
35:28Yeah.
35:28With some sort of talent.
35:31You could have just used it, you.
35:34You could have used your superpowers to cheat at spades.
35:39That's funny.
35:41How come I can't take on my...
35:43One thing is, why is Marvel vs. Capcom never really got...
35:47I don't know.
35:48Why is it what?
35:48I feel like Street Fighter just gets more notoriety than this one.
35:52Because it's basically Street Fighter.
35:54True.
35:56It's Street Fighter with Marvel characters.
35:57Yeah, yeah.
35:58I would say Marvel vs. Capcom has the best trailers.
36:01It says, yeah, some random butthead gets superpowers and is still a jerk.
36:06Yeah.
36:06You know what I mean?
36:07It's just, you know, some guy who's trying to pick up women in a nightclub and this dude
36:13just gets laser eyes.
36:15Like, he's not going to be cool.
36:16So, it's basically like, you know, somebody who's just had superpowers and, like, would
36:21get, like, go to a club and try to hit on a chick and just show off his superpowers?
36:25Yeah.
36:25Or use mind control.
36:28Damn, that's cold, man.
36:29Like, these dudes...
36:29That's like a whole other form of Bill Cosby, right?
36:32Yeah, man.
36:32That's the whole other...
36:33Listen, these dudes and women are just complete scumbags in this show.
36:37And it's great.
36:39It's great.
36:39They're very selfish.
36:40And it's funny.
36:41It's actually a funny show.
36:43So, I highly recommend it from anybody out there watching.
36:45It's like dark comedy, right?
36:46It's very dark.
36:47Yeah.
36:47Also, finished Attack on Titan, season three.
36:54I'm going to...
36:55I don't think I've been...
36:56You're not an anime guy?
36:59Oh, no.
37:00I just can't do anime, man.
37:02This one's good.
37:03I mean, there is a lot of staring into nothingness.
37:06Yeah?
37:07Making that classic anime noise.
37:09Oh, oh, oh, oh.
37:10Really?
37:11Yeah, you know, you get punched in the stomach in anime.
37:13You got to make that noise.
37:14Oh, oh.
37:15But I finished season three, man.
37:17That's probably my favorite anime ever.
37:21Attack on Titan.
37:23Which is weird because there's not an attack on a place called Titan.
37:25It's just Titans attacking.
37:27I don't know who decided to name it.
37:29Like, it's whatever has a nice ring to it.
37:34I'm good.
37:35No, no worries.
37:36I'm good.
37:37I think my camera is...
37:39I got it.
37:40Did they disconnect your camera?
37:42Let's see.
37:42So, highly recommended.
37:46Yeah.
37:47I'm going to check it out.
37:48I actually have it ready to go when I...
37:51Hopefully when I get home.
37:53How'd you get it, Speedy?
37:54We're not going to talk about that.
37:58That's what I'm curious about.
38:00Yeah, we're not going to talk about that.
38:02But I will have it.
38:03I will have it to watch.
38:05Yes.
38:05Check out your camera right now, Joey.
38:07Got it.
38:07All right, cool.
38:08But, yeah.
38:09Oh, man.
38:12So, shout out to everyone here on Checkpoint XP Live with us.
38:17We are Geek Culture Congress.
38:19And thank you so much for tuning in and continuing with us here.
38:24So, anything else going on?
38:27I have to correct you on the whole Nova thing.
38:32Is it fake?
38:32The Russo brothers admit Nova isn't in Avengers Endgame, which I kind of felt...
38:37Wow, that was fake.
38:37Yeah.
38:39He said...
38:41Yeah, that has now been axed all due to coming from superherohype.com.
38:48Wow.
38:49So, that was all fake.
38:51Yeah, you just ignored that contraction.
38:53That N apostrophe T?
38:56It actually comes from comicbook.com.
38:58But superherohype.com is reporting.
39:01Well, that's where I read the original report.
39:03Superhero...
39:04Yeah, I think you ignored the contraction.
39:05Yeah.
39:05The IS in apostrophe T.
39:08The Russo brothers admit Nova isn't in Avengers Endgame.
39:10Yeah.
39:10I don't know which brother it was that said that.
39:13But apparently they both come to terms on this situation.
39:17I'm glad, though.
39:19Yeah, I think it's too soon, man.
39:20Yeah, let this whole thing rest.
39:23That was one good thing about Spider-Man.
39:24I mean, it was a good follow-up to what happened with the snap and everything.
39:28Yeah.
39:29That was probably the best thing about it.
39:31I did enjoy it.
39:32I think with...
39:34Like you said, I think it's time that we get a new comic, you know, to step up to the
39:43plate right now because I think we're fiending to, like, find more stuff.
39:46Yeah, we're looking for stuff now.
39:47Yeah.
39:47Now we won't get...
39:47Did you notice the rock underneath Tony's foot?
39:51Yeah!
39:51And it looked like the thing?
39:52All this stuff has been happening.
39:54It was just the Blu-ray came out.
39:55Everybody's been like, oh, yeah, look, it's got to be there.
39:57You know?
39:58Yeah.
40:00I don't know.
40:02No.
40:03Just surprise me.
40:04I'm bowing out of the speculation.
40:05You know what I'm actually curious about?
40:06I was Googling it to see if I missed anything, but, like, when are we getting another trailer
40:10for the Joker movie?
40:11Because that's coming out real soon.
40:13Yeah, that should be coming out.
40:14And apparently it's going to be...
40:16It's actually...
40:17It's its own thing, but it's actually tied into, like, all the DC stuff.
40:20So he's a Joker that inspired these other Jokers.
40:24The other Jokers?
40:25Yeah.
40:25Okay.
40:25I'm pretty sure he inspired Jared Leto's Joker in Suicide Squad, so...
40:32Or maybe...
40:33You know, I feel like Suicide Squad Joker is Robin.
40:37What?
40:38Remember?
40:39You think so?
40:39Yeah.
40:40Like, instead of doing Red Hood or the Arkham Knight, they're doing...
40:47You know, he's just Joker.
40:51What?
40:52What?
40:52Yo, did you never look at his tattoos?
40:56There's a tattoo of the Robin with the knife through it.
40:58Jared Leto's character.
41:00Yeah, it's Robin.
41:01Okay.
41:02Oh, I see what you're saying.
41:03You know what I'm saying?
41:04Like, Joker...
41:05He was corrupted by Joker at some point.
41:06And he became the Joker.
41:07Yeah, Batman killed Joker.
41:09Because he even got to pay attention to, you know, the stuff that Batman said in the movie.
41:15He was just like...
41:17When he's talking to Alfred in Dawn of Justice?
41:20Uh-huh.
41:20That may be Superman?
41:21Yeah.
41:21He said, how many, you know, how many heroes do we know?
41:26How many of them stayed that way or something like that?
41:29Hmm.
41:29Or he said something about trust or loyalty or something like that.
41:32Yeah.
41:33Did he?
41:33You know, how many...
41:34He's like, how many people stood that way?
41:36Like, because, you know, he's at that point in his Batman career where he doesn't trust anybody.
41:40Yeah.
41:41So, and then he looks up at...
41:43And then, you know, he has that Joker...
41:45That Robin suit with the ha-ha-ha all over it.
41:48Yeah, I noticed that.
41:49That might be...
41:51This is why, Joey...
41:52This is why I need to be on the writing team, man.
41:54This is why Joey needs to be on the team.
41:55I might not be as articulate as some of these writers are, but, yo, I mean, I'm getting
41:58to the point.
41:58You need to be in the studio, man.
42:00We got to get you in there.
42:02Listen.
42:03If they want to save it, man, if they want to save this Batman movie, first off, I don't
42:07think they should have got rid of Ben Affleck, and hopefully I think, you know, if I could
42:10pitch something like that, bring Ben Affleck back, because he wasn't bad at Batman.
42:14I like Ben Affleck as Batman.
42:15You don't think so?
42:15No, he was a really good Batman.
42:16I think it was a decent, like, old, moody, mean Batman.
42:22I liked his Batman a little bit better than Christian Bale's.
42:24Michael Keaton would always be Batman to me.
42:27Michael Keaton is Batman, as far as I'm concerned.
42:29Would you like it better than Christian Bale's?
42:30You going to pass the controller, bro?
42:31Did I lose?
42:32Yeah.
42:32Oh, wow.
42:33Finally, right?
42:34That was amazing.
42:36Yeah, like, Christian Bale's Batman was cool.
42:38I just think he forced the voice too much.
42:41Yeah?
42:42Yeah, that was it.
42:45Wow.
42:45Fix your camera, Terry.
42:46Yo, like, are you, like, that's, like, his Batman sounded like Apocalypse should have
42:53sounded.
42:53Yeah.
42:53Yo!
42:55That's what the problem is.
42:57That's how Apocalypse should have sounded.
42:59Yo.
42:59Wow.
43:00But, yeah, Ben Affleck, man, if they brought Ben Affleck back and they redid this whole Batman
43:04thing, like, I'm, if, I, the Robert Pattinson one is going to be obviously a throwback Batman,
43:10like, when he's, I guess it's going to be, like, Batman year one.
43:12Yeah.
43:15But, man, I just hope Ben Affleck can come back and they can do a dope script with Jared
43:19Leto's Joker, because, I mean, I don't think he was amazing.
43:23I don't think he had enough screen time.
43:25No, he didn't have enough screen time.
43:26It was interesting.
43:26You couldn't really grasp it, so you didn't, you really didn't know what to make of it.
43:29It's interesting the spin they took on it.
43:30Yeah.
43:30You know.
43:31Which I like it.
43:31It's a modern day twist.
43:32Yeah.
43:33It's got all these tattoos on him.
43:34He looks like, you know, he's like, you put out a mixtape tomorrow.
43:36Like, he.
43:38He's pretty.
43:38He was like, emo.
43:39Yeah, he was 6'9'' before 6'9''.
43:42Yeah.
43:42You see?
43:44He was the predecessor.
43:45For real.
43:46You know what I mean?
43:47He was gang affiliating.
43:48Yeah.
43:48He was thugging it.
43:50Yo.
43:51Had a little side chick.
43:52Yo, side chick treating, you know, Harley Quinn really bad.
43:56Leading her on.
43:57Like.
43:58That's the type of dude that would be with somebody like Harley Quinn, though.
44:00Yeah.
44:01I've lost many, many courtships out to thugs.
44:05Who got in the girl's head.
44:06I just didn't like how they killed Common, though.
44:09That was messed up.
44:09Did they kill Common in the movie?
44:10Yeah, he murked him.
44:12He set him up, though.
44:13He was trying to put pin Harley Quinn on him.
44:15And then.
44:15Which movie was it?
44:16You want to touch my girl?
44:17We're talking about Suicide Squad.
44:18Oh, yeah.
44:19First time, he was pipping his girl off.
44:20Yeah.
44:20And then killed the guy for, you know, you sure you want me to do this?
44:25Yeah.
44:25Like, come on, dog.
44:28Man, the little beam is murky to me.
44:30Iron Man is, like, super overpowered.
44:32Him and Nova are, like, super overpowered in this game.
44:34You're doing the most on here.
44:36How you feel about this, though?
44:38I know I was going to get it.
44:39I will say, I do enjoy Injustice a little bit more than this.
