Jay, we reviewed it. We both love the movie.

Let's get into the spoilers. And I think one

00:00:52.689 --> 00:00:55.689
of the funniest ones up front is why crypto is

00:00:55.689 --> 00:01:01.729
such an asshole. There's a great shot Millie

00:01:01.729 --> 00:01:04.430
Alcock and Supergirl comes in and she is not

00:01:04.430 --> 00:01:07.849
like buttoned up by sweet Supergirl She's like

00:01:07.849 --> 00:01:12.670
have party girl. Whoo At the end and she comes

00:01:12.670 --> 00:01:17.310
in and cryptos like yeah and And Superman looks

00:01:17.310 --> 00:01:20.030
at the robot at four and he's like this is why

00:01:20.030 --> 00:01:27.049
that dog is so fucked up Yeah And I I loved it

00:01:27.049 --> 00:01:31.579
I love it I love she straight up was like, thanks

00:01:31.579 --> 00:01:35.780
for watching him, bitch. Like, holy shit. I was

00:01:35.780 --> 00:01:39.659
like, that was probably one of my favorite lines

00:01:39.659 --> 00:01:41.620
of the entire movie was that she was like, thanks

00:01:41.620 --> 00:01:47.299
for watching a bitch. Definitely. I died. Definitely

00:01:47.299 --> 00:01:52.760
one of my favorite lines. I also loved the I'm

00:01:52.760 --> 00:01:57.439
not Superman line. Yeah. Just before hot girl

00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:02.000
just fucking dropped his ass. Oh, yeah So let's

00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:06.299
let's go back kind of to the beginning They set

00:02:06.299 --> 00:02:08.960
this up like it's it's in it's in words right

00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:12.099
at the front Look meta humans have been around

00:02:12.099 --> 00:02:16.319
for a long time This shit's been going on forever

00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:19.599
Superman's been around for three years. Here's

00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:23.300
the timeline, right? So you they make you understand

00:02:23.300 --> 00:02:27.099
up front This is not, oh, we're just learning

00:02:27.099 --> 00:02:32.020
about superheroes, right? Which I think is good.

00:02:33.159 --> 00:02:40.120
I'm glad they've done that. Yeah. Yep. 100 %

00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:45.439
like this is the world is accustomed to metahumans.

00:02:45.659 --> 00:02:48.560
It's nothing new. It's kind of a typical Friday.

00:02:50.780 --> 00:02:53.319
Yeah, we don't we don't like fucking waste time

00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:57.259
it just jumps in He gets his ass kicked. He heels

00:02:57.259 --> 00:03:00.099
up real quick goes and get his ass kicked again

00:03:00.099 --> 00:03:07.500
like Yeah Yeah, we jump straight in right okay,

00:03:07.500 --> 00:03:09.479
he's already he went to Boravia once he messed

00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:12.120
it dude up he came back now this the hammer of

00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:15.560
Arabia's here and We're doing some stuff and

00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:17.979
we we very quickly learn that it's all being

00:03:17.979 --> 00:03:19.900
controlled by Lex. Lex is setting this whole

00:03:19.900 --> 00:03:22.900
thing up. They don't they don't hide that from

00:03:22.900 --> 00:03:26.680
the jump, right? Like Superman, the other characters

00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:31.240
are digging through it as they go. He who we

00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:33.979
as the audience, we're not they're not hiding

00:03:33.979 --> 00:03:36.800
shit from us. Lex is behind the whole thing.

00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:43.340
So, again, this was the part, the kind of the

00:03:43.340 --> 00:03:46.870
setup. The getting to the point where Lex breaks

00:03:46.870 --> 00:03:49.710
into the Fortress of Solitude, where he gets

00:03:49.710 --> 00:03:53.110
the stuff with Superman's parents, the rest of

00:03:53.110 --> 00:03:57.569
the message, which, you know, so the whole setup

00:03:57.569 --> 00:03:59.969
of this is that Superman's only seen the first

00:03:59.969 --> 00:04:01.729
half of the message his parents sent, and they

00:04:01.729 --> 00:04:05.689
were like, go there, do things for humanity,

00:04:05.770 --> 00:04:07.349
you're more powerful, blah, blah, blah, blah,

00:04:07.389 --> 00:04:08.870
blah, but he doesn't know what the end of the

00:04:08.870 --> 00:04:12.550
message says. And then Lex breaks into the fortress

00:04:12.550 --> 00:04:15.030
of solitude with the engineer. They capture crypto

00:04:15.030 --> 00:04:16.730
and we're going to come back to that because

00:04:16.730 --> 00:04:21.430
boy. Right. I really didn't think he was going

00:04:21.430 --> 00:04:23.930
to John Wick Luther through the out of the building.

00:04:25.209 --> 00:04:32.480
Oh, my God. I. Because I told you before we kind

00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:34.319
of like went to the movie. I was like, yeah,

00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:36.800
like it would be kind of really interesting if

00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:39.220
he did do something bad to the dog and you just

00:04:39.220 --> 00:04:42.439
he Superman just come unglued and just freaking

00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:45.759
laser beam half their freaking planet and like

00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:48.540
I kind of felt like we almost got that. We almost

00:04:48.540 --> 00:04:51.629
got there like it was close. Because that was

00:04:51.629 --> 00:04:55.550
like the shit my my family sent me to this planet

00:04:55.550 --> 00:04:58.670
to actually rule over them fuck everyone hates

00:04:58.670 --> 00:05:02.750
me That's the thing they set up is Luther steals

00:05:02.750 --> 00:05:05.529
the second half of the message and places like

00:05:05.529 --> 00:05:09.310
see and It's it's Jor -el played by Bradley Cooper.

00:05:09.629 --> 00:05:11.769
Although he doesn't really speak anything in

00:05:11.769 --> 00:05:13.050
English, but it is interesting. It's Bradley

00:05:13.050 --> 00:05:17.750
Cooper as Jor -el Because James Gunn likes using

00:05:17.750 --> 00:05:21.730
the same actors for multiple things Right. Yeah,

00:05:21.769 --> 00:05:24.350
which is fine. The girl who played Mantis was

00:05:24.350 --> 00:05:28.410
one of the robots. The guy who played what's

00:05:28.410 --> 00:05:34.089
from Guardians with the. Mohawk, the. Oh, Michael

00:05:34.089 --> 00:05:37.990
Rooker. He plays one of the robots. Right. So,

00:05:38.009 --> 00:05:39.889
you know, we're having a nice little Guardians

00:05:39.889 --> 00:05:43.970
reunion in Superman. But yeah, the whole setup

00:05:43.970 --> 00:05:46.850
is, oh, no, Surinam's parents actually sent him

00:05:46.850 --> 00:05:51.220
here to rule Earth. Right. to spread his seed.

00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:54.420
Wink, wink. Right. And like they're straight

00:05:54.420 --> 00:05:57.019
up. And I was like, did he fake it? And then

00:05:57.019 --> 00:05:59.220
like through the whole movie, they almost worked

00:05:59.220 --> 00:06:02.660
to convince you like, no, no, they weren't faking

00:06:02.660 --> 00:06:04.600
it. Like that's what Superman's parents. So I'm

00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:07.120
like, oh, so we got fucked up, Jarrell, in this

00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:12.060
universe. Yeah, I I was like, did this shit happen

00:06:12.060 --> 00:06:14.279
in the comics? Because I have never heard fucking

00:06:14.279 --> 00:06:18.259
this story at one. I was like, holy shit, this

00:06:18.259 --> 00:06:22.300
is dark. I'm which to kind of give you an idea

00:06:22.300 --> 00:06:25.120
of how kind of dark it is. I mean, you do have

00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:28.819
a hot girl dropping and killing someone. But

00:06:28.819 --> 00:06:31.600
then you also have Lex. I was not expecting this

00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:35.500
Lex straight up and went in front of Superman

00:06:35.500 --> 00:06:38.579
when he couldn't do shit about it. And I was

00:06:38.579 --> 00:06:41.579
like. That was the part where I was like, oh,

00:06:41.579 --> 00:06:45.139
we're actually making Lex evil, evil. Yeah, this

00:06:45.139 --> 00:06:47.670
isn't this isn't. Oh, my god. Oh, my god. Oh,

00:06:47.670 --> 00:06:49.410
my god. Oh, my god. Oh, my god. Oh, my god. Oh,

00:06:49.410 --> 00:06:58.230
my god. Oh, my god. Oh, my god. Oh, my god. Oh,

00:06:58.769 --> 00:07:17.949
my god. See, yeah that set up getting to that

00:07:17.949 --> 00:07:19.629
point again kind of was the part that dragged

00:07:19.629 --> 00:07:24.970
for me once we got past that We get metamorphose

00:07:24.970 --> 00:07:27.709
It was now. All right, they set up earlier in

00:07:27.709 --> 00:07:30.829
the movie the kryptonites gone. There's no kryptonite

00:07:30.829 --> 00:07:34.689
left on earth, right? Yeah But metamorphose can

00:07:34.689 --> 00:07:37.050
turn himself into kryptonite, which is what F

00:07:37.050 --> 00:07:41.290
sub Superman He is captured what he turns himself

00:07:41.290 --> 00:07:44.459
in because of all the stuff that happens Right.

00:07:44.459 --> 00:07:46.920
Because the last part of the message and all

00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:49.779
that stuff. Well, he kind of he kind of turned

00:07:49.779 --> 00:07:54.439
himself in to find to find the dog because he

00:07:54.439 --> 00:07:56.600
was like, yeah, hopefully, like they'll take

00:07:56.600 --> 00:08:00.540
me where like they're holding the dog. Yeah.

00:08:00.540 --> 00:08:06.600
And they do. They do. The other sequence that

00:08:06.600 --> 00:08:08.240
dragged a little bit that I think they probably

00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:13.930
could have cut 30 to 45 seconds off of. Was in

00:08:13.930 --> 00:08:16.730
the river in the weird like proton river where

00:08:16.730 --> 00:08:19.629
everybody's getting disintegrated Right. I was

00:08:19.629 --> 00:08:21.490
holding the baby up. I'm like, yeah, we get it.

00:08:21.490 --> 00:08:23.930
He's holding the baby up. He's fighting the guys

00:08:23.930 --> 00:08:28.470
like That one took a little longer than I think

00:08:28.470 --> 00:08:35.789
we needed Yeah that sequence Still good sequence

00:08:35.789 --> 00:08:38.830
and it gets metamorpho on side. Okay now metamorphose

00:08:38.830 --> 00:08:43.039
our buddy Yeah, right because I saved this kid

00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:48.379
Yep, right and and that's the other thing in

00:08:48.379 --> 00:08:51.639
this movie. One of the things is but being evil

00:08:51.639 --> 00:08:54.679
It's when Lex shoots the guy in front of Metamorpho

00:08:54.679 --> 00:08:57.539
Metamorpho is afraid of Lex. He's only hurting

00:08:57.539 --> 00:09:01.080
Superman because Lex has his kid, right? I'm

00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:03.559
sure it was like I'll get your kid and Metamorphos

00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:06.419
like nope Lex is too powerful. I can't do it.

00:09:06.419 --> 00:09:09.320
And then Lex he watches Lex murk the falafel

00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:13.950
vendor Right and that's what metamorphose like

00:09:13.950 --> 00:09:21.070
okay like I can't I I think that's like a very

00:09:21.070 --> 00:09:26.450
like real response that I think a lot of people

00:09:26.450 --> 00:09:30.210
would have because like think about it if Lex

00:09:30.210 --> 00:09:34.570
is going to straight -up murder someone that

00:09:34.570 --> 00:09:38.690
Just gave Superman a falafel one day. Yep. Like

00:09:38.690 --> 00:09:42.600
there's no safety like there Because he's he's

00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:46.519
holding his son hostage, like, hey, like you,

00:09:46.940 --> 00:09:50.679
you have kryptonite on Superman. Basically, I'm

00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:52.700
not going to hurt your kid. All of that shit

00:09:52.700 --> 00:09:56.200
goes out the window. When you see like Lex Luthor,

00:09:56.320 --> 00:09:59.200
just kill a random fucking guy in front of you.

00:09:59.200 --> 00:10:02.320
It's like, dude, none of us are safe. Like, yeah,

00:10:02.539 --> 00:10:04.720
we like what's going to stop them from just killing

00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:06.840
everyone and killing my son. Right. So why am

00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:11.110
I bothering? Yep. So I thought that was a really

00:10:11.110 --> 00:10:15.710
good solid turn for Metamorpho. Again, I loved

00:10:15.710 --> 00:10:19.409
Nathan Fillion in this movie. He's in so much

00:10:19.409 --> 00:10:21.970
more of it and his fighting is so funny In fact,

00:10:21.970 --> 00:10:23.950
there's a great sequence and you see part of

00:10:23.950 --> 00:10:26.590
it in one of the the TV spots where in the background

00:10:26.590 --> 00:10:28.950
you see Superman and there's a big thing floating

00:10:28.950 --> 00:10:31.370
in the background and he's just got to sit there

00:10:31.370 --> 00:10:34.370
and Lois comes in and she's like shouldn't you

00:10:34.370 --> 00:10:35.990
help them with that thing? And he's like, nah,

00:10:35.990 --> 00:10:37.690
it's just a dimensional imp. It's fine They've

00:10:37.690 --> 00:10:40.470
got it and you can see green lantern shit hitting

00:10:40.470 --> 00:10:43.509
at the background like he's creating giant baseball

00:10:43.509 --> 00:10:48.389
bats and hammers It's it's so funny to me because

00:10:48.389 --> 00:10:50.889
like I got a sense like they were struggling

00:10:50.889 --> 00:10:52.990
to handle this and Superman so I know they're

00:10:52.990 --> 00:10:57.070
fine. Why? It's fine. It's nothing Yeah, you

00:10:57.070 --> 00:10:59.509
just see them having this like crazy fight sequence

00:10:59.509 --> 00:11:03.809
in the background but Love that love that sequence.

00:11:04.429 --> 00:11:08.399
I love me the feeling of this, you know And we

00:11:08.399 --> 00:11:10.100
get our we get our first look at the Hall of

00:11:10.100 --> 00:11:12.419
Justice, but they're not the Justice League yet.

00:11:12.700 --> 00:11:14.500
They're the Justice Gang. We're not called the

00:11:14.500 --> 00:11:19.720
Justice Gang. We're the Justice Gang. Like. I

00:11:19.720 --> 00:11:21.779
like how they're struggling to figure out their

00:11:21.779 --> 00:11:24.659
name right now. I'm like and Lois is like, I

00:11:24.659 --> 00:11:26.740
thought Superman was a member. He's like, no,

00:11:27.200 --> 00:11:31.419
he's too nice. Yeah, he won't let us kill people.

00:11:33.460 --> 00:11:36.200
Which is a conflict early in the movie when they're

00:11:36.200 --> 00:11:38.980
fighting the kaiju Because Green Lantern the

00:11:38.980 --> 00:11:40.759
hot girl of Mr. Terrific like fuck it just killed

00:11:40.759 --> 00:11:43.840
a giant kaiju and sir man's like no We don't

00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:46.200
kill things. I was trying to find a way to capture

00:11:46.200 --> 00:11:48.519
it. They kill it He's like mad at them about

00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:52.700
it Yeah, but that actually sets up nicely with

00:11:52.700 --> 00:11:55.179
the hot girl thing later because again those

00:11:55.179 --> 00:11:57.559
three established like look We're not above killing

00:11:57.559 --> 00:12:00.299
shit if we have to and so when they have the

00:12:00.299 --> 00:12:03.500
fight at the end in Boravia and Hot girls carrying

00:12:03.500 --> 00:12:05.820
the evil president of Arabia who's with looks

00:12:05.820 --> 00:12:08.840
I loved it. He was like you want to kill me your

00:12:08.840 --> 00:12:13.019
like Superman. She's just like yeet She's like

00:12:13.019 --> 00:12:19.600
watch this bitch. Hi Oh, God. That was a good

00:12:19.600 --> 00:12:27.100
moment. Great moment. I loved it. Yeah. Oh, God.

00:12:27.340 --> 00:12:31.559
So it's like every every part of the movie was

00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:38.399
like amazing to me. I loved the part with his,

00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:41.840
I don't know, foster parents and where his dad

00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:45.289
is like, it's not. the plays of your parents

00:12:45.289 --> 00:12:48.250
to tell you who you are. We're supposed to just

00:12:48.250 --> 00:12:51.009
provide you tools to for you to figure out who

00:12:51.009 --> 00:12:54.029
you are. Basically, I was like, damn, that's

00:12:54.029 --> 00:12:56.370
such a good line. This goes to the thing that

00:12:56.370 --> 00:12:57.870
you and I talked about right out of the theater.

00:12:57.870 --> 00:13:00.309
And I think it's the most important piece. If

00:13:00.309 --> 00:13:03.450
you look at gun stuff within this genre, go back

00:13:03.450 --> 00:13:06.909
to Guardians, the entire Guardians trilogy, including

00:13:06.909 --> 00:13:09.590
and plus the holiday special is all about family.

00:13:09.889 --> 00:13:12.990
Right. The first movie is about found family.

00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:17.299
The second movie is about how that found family

00:13:17.299 --> 00:13:19.139
is more important than your biological family,

00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:22.019
his battle with ego and everything else. And

00:13:22.019 --> 00:13:24.980
the third movie is about Rocket and family and

00:13:24.980 --> 00:13:26.740
the families that Rocket's been through, the

00:13:26.740 --> 00:13:29.580
one that was taken from him. And James Gunn is

00:13:29.580 --> 00:13:34.899
so good at having family as an underpinning of

00:13:34.899 --> 00:13:38.480
so much of what he does. And even though the

00:13:38.480 --> 00:13:41.220
so first off, I'm glad Mod Pod Kent aren't dead.

00:13:42.759 --> 00:13:45.419
Right. We don't need pocket to be dead again.

00:13:45.580 --> 00:13:49.059
Thank you. Oh, also side note. These are the

00:13:49.059 --> 00:13:51.659
most realistic looking Kansas farmers I've ever

00:13:51.659 --> 00:13:56.779
seen in a Superman movie. I'm sorry. Kevin Costner

00:13:56.779 --> 00:13:59.080
is not look like what most Kansas farmers look

00:13:59.080 --> 00:14:03.200
like. OK, let's just be real here. These two

00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:05.600
looked like Kansas farmers who were at home watching

00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:11.330
Fox News. Yeah, I love the mothers. like screaming

00:14:11.330 --> 00:14:15.250
into the phone on like the table. I was like,

00:14:15.250 --> 00:14:20.070
dear golly, this is so this is so accurate. Yeah.

00:14:20.070 --> 00:14:24.509
Yeah. You really got the sense of. Like this

00:14:24.509 --> 00:14:27.990
is, I don't know, real. And I love the part where

00:14:27.990 --> 00:14:30.889
Mr. Terrific was like, you brought the fucking

00:14:30.889 --> 00:14:33.509
dog and he's like, yeah, I didn't want him to

00:14:33.509 --> 00:14:36.970
eat my my parents' house. And I'm like, oh, my

00:14:36.970 --> 00:14:39.720
God. And again, the underpinning of family starts

00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:42.000
at the beginning where when he's getting healed,

00:14:42.320 --> 00:14:47.279
they're playing the message from Jarell and Superman's

00:14:47.279 --> 00:14:49.820
mom and the robots are like, he finds it comforting.

00:14:49.879 --> 00:14:53.299
And then at the end of the film, after we found

00:14:53.299 --> 00:14:55.240
out all the fucked up shit that Jarell said,

00:14:55.659 --> 00:14:57.779
now the robot say it again and you're like, wait,

00:14:57.799 --> 00:14:59.759
well, he's going to watch Jarell again. And then

00:14:59.759 --> 00:15:02.340
it's actually Ma and Pa Kent and home videos

00:15:02.340 --> 00:15:05.240
of that. So the family underpinning just runs

00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:10.360
this whole This whole line in the movie and James

00:15:10.360 --> 00:15:15.299
Gunn always weaves that shit in so well Yeah,

00:15:15.299 --> 00:15:21.120
it's not cheesy at all No, it's good. No he he

00:15:21.120 --> 00:15:24.799
does it right, you know cuz it's not like fast

00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:35.169
and furious family But it really is family is

00:15:35.169 --> 00:15:37.190
an underpinning of this film and it's it's so

00:15:37.190 --> 00:15:41.549
well done I think what else one time mr. Terrific

00:15:41.549 --> 00:15:45.149
has a substantial role in the film and he's he's

00:15:45.149 --> 00:15:50.110
kind of the MVP to Yeah, fuck and I love the

00:15:50.110 --> 00:15:53.429
fact that he was like, oh I'm I'm only helping

00:15:53.429 --> 00:16:01.669
out to piss off the Green Lantern The other part

00:16:01.669 --> 00:16:03.830
that I like is, oh, there was the line where

00:16:03.830 --> 00:16:07.049
Lois is like, you put nanites in Superman's blood.

00:16:07.850 --> 00:16:09.649
Do you do that to all your friends? He's like,

00:16:09.730 --> 00:16:13.309
yeah. Yeah. Everyone just like looks at themselves

00:16:13.309 --> 00:16:19.909
like girls like, wait, what? Oh, my God. And

00:16:19.909 --> 00:16:23.409
I do also love the scene with him and Lois where

00:16:23.409 --> 00:16:26.570
he's like, he tells Lois, like, I don't do that

00:16:26.570 --> 00:16:30.059
emotional shit. And Lois is like, Oh, yeah, I

00:16:30.059 --> 00:16:32.080
know. I'm just like thinking out loud of like

00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:34.399
how, you know, I just wanted to tell them that

00:16:34.399 --> 00:16:36.500
I loved him. But, you know, I was thinking about

00:16:36.500 --> 00:16:39.460
breaking up with him and all. And he's just like.

00:16:40.379 --> 00:16:44.779
What did I just say? Just looks at her. I was

00:16:44.779 --> 00:16:49.460
like, Oh, my God. Oh, God. It was amazing. Oh,

00:16:49.480 --> 00:16:51.159
yeah, it was great. Again, Nathan Philly does

00:16:51.159 --> 00:16:53.460
some great stuff with his lantern powers, including

00:16:53.460 --> 00:16:55.940
a sequence where he's flipping the bird, the

00:16:55.940 --> 00:17:07.299
lantern bird. Oh, I was dying. All right. Again,

00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:09.019
kind of going back to the end, we talked about

00:17:09.019 --> 00:17:12.180
it a little earlier. We know the next movie coming

00:17:12.180 --> 00:17:15.420
out is Supergirl, Woman of Tomorrow, right? And

00:17:15.420 --> 00:17:17.559
I think we got a sense of the type of Supergirl

00:17:17.559 --> 00:17:22.690
we got. I am so excited. Holy crap. I'm excited

00:17:22.690 --> 00:17:25.630
for that. She's a hot mess. She was in there

00:17:25.630 --> 00:17:27.369
for all the two minutes and I'm like, oh, I need

00:17:27.369 --> 00:17:31.769
to see this movie. Yeah. Yeah. And she's going

00:17:31.769 --> 00:17:36.049
to be fighting Jason Momoa as Lobo is the primary

00:17:36.049 --> 00:17:41.130
antagonist in her film. So. That shit's going

00:17:41.130 --> 00:17:48.970
to get crazy. Oh. Yeah. I'm looking forward to

00:17:48.970 --> 00:17:52.970
it. I'm excited. I am excited. I'm excited for

00:17:52.970 --> 00:17:56.650
the DC like universe. I'm excited for the more

00:17:56.650 --> 00:17:59.369
excited for it now than with our soft launches.

00:17:59.809 --> 00:18:01.609
All right. So let's do this. I'm just going to

00:18:01.609 --> 00:18:12.589
make a quick note here for our our thing. What

00:18:12.589 --> 00:18:15.450
so what does this tell you about where they're

00:18:15.450 --> 00:18:23.029
going with the DCU? Um, this is a very full world

00:18:23.029 --> 00:18:28.950
full of heroes. Yeah. So to me, I think we're

00:18:28.950 --> 00:18:33.509
going to see a March very much how Marvel did

00:18:33.509 --> 00:18:37.430
with end game. You're going to have these movies

00:18:37.430 --> 00:18:40.470
that are going to string together. I don't think

00:18:40.470 --> 00:18:43.029
we're going to get a full Justice League until

00:18:43.029 --> 00:18:47.269
you kind of assemble. all of your members and

00:18:47.269 --> 00:18:49.170
then they're all going to come together for like

00:18:49.170 --> 00:18:52.910
this epic fight. You can't do it for a little

00:18:52.910 --> 00:18:55.849
bit. Yeah. Because this is the other one we talked

00:18:55.849 --> 00:19:00.630
about on our way out of the theater. Batman.

00:19:01.210 --> 00:19:02.769
And by the way, for anybody that's like he'll

00:19:02.769 --> 00:19:05.930
just connect to Matt Reeves. No, that Batman

00:19:05.930 --> 00:19:10.049
does not fit in this world. OK, that Batman is

00:19:10.049 --> 00:19:12.009
great. And I love the Batman. And I'm looking

00:19:12.009 --> 00:19:13.869
forward to the Batman, too. And I think the Penguin

00:19:13.869 --> 00:19:19.519
is great. Yeah. But I have a cat right in front

00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:30.359
of my thing here. Oh, God. Oh, nice. Who they

00:19:30.359 --> 00:19:34.099
cast as Batman and how Batman interacts with

00:19:34.099 --> 00:19:42.700
Superman is critical. Yep. And I agree, I. Do

00:19:42.700 --> 00:19:44.180
you think they've already got it? Do you think

00:19:44.180 --> 00:19:48.819
they know who it is? Comic cons coming up and

00:19:48.819 --> 00:19:57.440
DC is gonna be there I Feel like they do um Do

00:19:57.440 --> 00:19:59.299
you think we get a Batman announcement at Comic

00:19:59.299 --> 00:20:11.460
Con? Oh, I don't know Since we have like the

00:20:11.460 --> 00:20:16.200
Batman 2 coming out. Um It wouldn't surprise

00:20:16.200 --> 00:20:34.059
me Yeah So the Batman we're getting is Batman

00:20:34.059 --> 00:20:36.779
the brave and the bold so that what's interesting

00:20:36.779 --> 00:20:40.930
too about this is that Batman This is gonna be

00:20:40.930 --> 00:20:43.769
an older Batman And I think this is gonna be

00:20:43.769 --> 00:20:47.269
a Batman. Who's two or three Robins in right?

00:20:47.410 --> 00:20:50.390
Oh, I think Dick Grayson's already a night wing

00:20:50.390 --> 00:20:54.190
at this point. I would be willing to bet Jason

00:20:54.190 --> 00:20:59.009
Todd is dead air quotes, right and and I think

00:20:59.009 --> 00:21:01.809
this is gonna have a lot to do with Damien Wayne

00:21:01.809 --> 00:21:11.859
Hmm, right So That's what I think we're gonna

00:21:11.859 --> 00:21:14.220
see with this Batman and again, it's gonna be

00:21:14.220 --> 00:21:16.500
an older Batman as some curious How it's gonna

00:21:16.500 --> 00:21:18.700
play off with corn sweat who's still a fairly

00:21:18.700 --> 00:21:22.559
young Superman. He's a superman for three years.

00:21:22.660 --> 00:21:26.779
You figure he's probably what late 20s early

00:21:26.779 --> 00:21:33.039
30s, maybe Yeah, um cuz they're very clear he's

00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:39.799
only been Superman for three years Yep Yeah,

00:21:39.799 --> 00:21:47.160
I want to say for some weird reason With the

00:21:47.160 --> 00:21:50.099
timeline, I don't remember exactly how it worked

00:21:50.099 --> 00:21:52.559
out but I I remember in the movie being like,

00:21:52.559 --> 00:21:58.039
okay, so Superman's 27 I'm Not sure if that's

00:21:58.039 --> 00:22:00.279
accurate or not but it could be because again

00:22:00.279 --> 00:22:02.339
they say he's been Superman for three years because

00:22:02.339 --> 00:22:04.460
at the beginning they do the Meta humans have

00:22:04.460 --> 00:22:06.839
been here for 300 years bringing about the age

00:22:06.839 --> 00:22:09.269
of the gods and monsters Third no, they said

00:22:09.269 --> 00:22:13.410
30 years ago. He crashed on earth Yeah, and it's

00:22:13.410 --> 00:22:16.410
27 years since he crashed from the time he crashed

00:22:16.410 --> 00:22:17.990
the time he comes to me because they go 30 years

00:22:17.990 --> 00:22:20.430
ago He crashed on earth three years ago. He became

00:22:20.430 --> 00:22:24.609
Superman and now there's today So yeah, so he's

00:22:24.609 --> 00:22:28.849
30 So he's still fairly young And again, I think

00:22:28.849 --> 00:22:32.789
we're gonna get an older Batman And I think that

00:22:32.789 --> 00:22:35.730
works really, really well because I think Batman

00:22:35.730 --> 00:22:40.049
is going to be very an older Batman's going to

00:22:40.049 --> 00:22:42.589
be like, no, you don't understand how the world

00:22:42.589 --> 00:22:45.369
works because Superman, like he wants to trust

00:22:45.369 --> 00:22:47.789
everyone. He sees the good in everyone. And then

00:22:47.789 --> 00:22:50.789
you're going to have a very old Batman who's

00:22:50.789 --> 00:22:54.569
lost a couple of Robbins seen some shit. Yeah.

00:22:54.690 --> 00:22:57.089
And he'd be like, no, you don't fucking understand.

00:22:57.599 --> 00:23:00.220
This is how the world works. This is how we have

00:23:00.220 --> 00:23:03.920
to do things and Superman is gonna be You know

00:23:03.920 --> 00:23:06.759
a hundred percent like no like that's not how

00:23:06.759 --> 00:23:08.660
it has to be Bruce and he's gonna be like shut

00:23:08.660 --> 00:23:12.240
the fuck up Stop using my name. Um But yeah,

00:23:12.480 --> 00:23:15.180
like I think that works really really well with

00:23:15.180 --> 00:23:18.900
like the Batman Superman dynamic having a younger

00:23:18.900 --> 00:23:23.980
Superman and an older Batman And again Right

00:23:23.980 --> 00:23:26.059
now, they're saying that this next one. Yeah,

00:23:26.059 --> 00:23:30.500
it'll be Damien Wayne is the Robin. OK, this

00:23:30.500 --> 00:23:33.460
is Robin number three or four. And this is his

00:23:33.460 --> 00:23:36.539
son who was raised by the assassins. Bruce's

00:23:36.539 --> 00:23:38.339
son. Yeah, this is an older Bruce that we're

00:23:38.339 --> 00:23:44.500
going to get. Yeah. I'm looking forward to Supergirl

00:23:44.500 --> 00:23:46.859
now. And actually, you mentioned this as we were

00:23:46.859 --> 00:23:50.319
coming out of the theater, too. We loved Nathan

00:23:50.319 --> 00:23:52.980
fill in a screen lantern, but our next big project

00:23:52.980 --> 00:23:58.599
is actually lanterns For the DCU So we're gonna

00:23:58.599 --> 00:24:02.000
get we're gonna get a bunch of lanterns Which

00:24:02.000 --> 00:24:07.900
I'm excited for I I love that shit. I am I They

00:24:07.900 --> 00:24:11.140
finally did the Green Lantern justice to me in

00:24:11.140 --> 00:24:14.579
this movie because I mean Ryan Reynolds it was

00:24:14.579 --> 00:24:17.359
just I do I need to I need a comment on that.

00:24:17.440 --> 00:24:20.019
By the way, the bowl cut actually works the whole

00:24:20.019 --> 00:24:22.599
movie. Like I forgot about the bowl cut, except

00:24:22.599 --> 00:24:25.000
when people would bring it up. It actually fits

00:24:25.000 --> 00:24:27.460
his face. And the only time I remembered it later

00:24:27.460 --> 00:24:30.019
was when Lois the hot girl was like, that haircut

00:24:30.019 --> 00:24:34.960
should be gets your vows. Oh, my God. So that

00:24:34.960 --> 00:24:40.160
scene. I love that scene because they were like

00:24:40.160 --> 00:24:43.059
Lois Lane was trying to get their get their help

00:24:43.059 --> 00:24:47.410
to save Superman. And the green lanterns like

00:24:47.410 --> 00:24:50.230
I can't get into politics. I took a valid against

00:24:50.230 --> 00:24:53.269
my vows and then hot girls like, no, he says

00:24:53.269 --> 00:24:55.309
that like every single time he just doesn't want

00:24:55.309 --> 00:24:57.769
to do anything. And I was like, oh, that's that's

00:24:57.769 --> 00:25:02.230
hilarious. I love Nathan Fillion is slated to

00:25:02.230 --> 00:25:05.789
be at least appear in the lantern show, but he's

00:25:05.789 --> 00:25:07.930
not the main character. So Kyle Chandler and

00:25:07.930 --> 00:25:10.309
Aaron Pierre are playing the Hal Jordan and John

00:25:10.309 --> 00:25:13.759
Stewart lanterns, respectively. Well, Nathan,

00:25:13.900 --> 00:25:16.160
so we know on Earth there are at least three

00:25:16.160 --> 00:25:19.839
lanterns. Right. The other one I'm really curious

00:25:19.839 --> 00:25:22.000
about is the flash. Like, that's where I want

00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:26.119
to see what they do. I love the flash as a character.

00:25:28.819 --> 00:25:34.619
Oh, God, I oh, God, you. Oh, I read growing up,

00:25:34.619 --> 00:25:36.779
I read more flash comic books than any other

00:25:36.779 --> 00:25:41.859
comic. I am you can do so much with the flash.

00:25:42.319 --> 00:25:47.420
I would say the casting doesn't have to be perfect

00:25:47.420 --> 00:25:53.119
for the Flash. Sorry, everyone. But yes, how

00:25:53.119 --> 00:25:57.079
they're going to tie the Flash into this future

00:25:57.079 --> 00:25:59.859
Justice League is going to be very interesting.

00:26:01.440 --> 00:26:03.779
Let's see. It is July 8th, 2025 as we record

00:26:03.779 --> 00:26:10.130
this spoiler talk for Superman. I'm thinking

00:26:10.130 --> 00:26:12.769
Justice League is probably twenty twenty -nine

00:26:12.769 --> 00:26:24.549
or twenty thirty. I would say twenty. Yeah, I

00:26:24.549 --> 00:26:27.950
would say probably. Twenty -nine. Yeah. They

00:26:27.950 --> 00:26:29.609
better get moving though because they again,

00:26:29.869 --> 00:26:32.069
so for setup, you've got Superman and Supergirl,

00:26:32.549 --> 00:26:34.250
right? Those are already in the can. They're

00:26:34.250 --> 00:26:37.500
done. We're good. We still don't have a Batman.

00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:39.359
We still don't have a Wonder Woman. We still

00:26:39.359 --> 00:26:42.339
don't have a flash. I don't think you need an

00:26:42.339 --> 00:26:45.619
Aquaman because I don't think Aquaman is a critical

00:26:45.619 --> 00:26:48.859
character for the Justice League per se. You've

00:26:48.859 --> 00:26:51.279
got three green lanterns. You've got a hot girl.

00:26:51.619 --> 00:26:53.599
You've got Mr. Terrific. You you're building

00:26:53.599 --> 00:27:00.859
a solid roster already. Yeah, like that's it.

00:27:01.079 --> 00:27:07.720
That's oh, that is impressive. Who who do you

00:27:07.720 --> 00:27:13.279
think the villain is going to be in I Don't know

00:27:13.279 --> 00:27:15.640
Lex Luthor and the Joker teaming up. Hey, I'm

00:27:15.640 --> 00:27:19.059
gonna See, yeah, I mean they're building a good

00:27:19.059 --> 00:27:21.339
roster for the Justice League. I see where they're

00:27:21.339 --> 00:27:24.359
going I don't know who the villains gonna be

00:27:24.359 --> 00:27:29.539
I Mean I think Lex is gonna be the one to put

00:27:29.539 --> 00:27:33.609
them in play kind of like how Loki Was put in

00:27:33.609 --> 00:27:36.329
play by Thanos and that was all a big misdirect.

00:27:36.970 --> 00:27:38.690
I think that'll be part of it If somebody's gonna

00:27:38.690 --> 00:27:40.910
go to Lex and be like I can help you defeat them,

00:27:40.910 --> 00:27:48.970
you know That's tough yeah, that's real tough

00:27:48.970 --> 00:27:55.289
We need a Batman it's gonna be it's gonna be

00:27:55.289 --> 00:28:01.980
critical Because how him and Superman interact

00:28:01.980 --> 00:28:05.420
is gonna be important and I think that's where

00:28:05.420 --> 00:28:10.579
Snyder went wrong Because we're immediately we

00:28:10.579 --> 00:28:14.220
started the Snyder verse with Batman v Superman

00:28:14.220 --> 00:28:18.079
Really right we had man of steel Batman v Superman.

00:28:18.079 --> 00:28:21.799
I'm like, wait a minute We're already in antagonistic

00:28:21.799 --> 00:28:28.539
mode With Batman and Superman like no Like that's

00:28:28.539 --> 00:28:35.680
not what I want Yeah, yeah, that's true so Any

00:28:35.680 --> 00:28:37.740
other predictions we're gonna get another Superman

00:28:37.740 --> 00:28:40.579
I think we'll get Superman 2 before we get Justice

00:28:40.579 --> 00:28:53.299
League Yeah, probably I I do think They'll probably

00:28:53.299 --> 00:28:56.900
milk Superman like the Superman universe for

00:28:56.900 --> 00:28:59.769
everything that That they can like because I

00:28:59.769 --> 00:29:02.049
mean this movie is it's going to be huge. This

00:29:02.049 --> 00:29:05.650
is a huge hit movie I think they knocked it out

00:29:05.650 --> 00:29:08.990
of the park They're going to follow it up. They're

00:29:08.990 --> 00:29:12.349
going to continue that momentum with supergirl

00:29:12.349 --> 00:29:18.150
So for me They it doesn't make sense for them

00:29:18.150 --> 00:29:23.549
not to do another superman movie Especially if

00:29:23.549 --> 00:29:27.410
supergirl does really well So yeah, I think we

00:29:27.410 --> 00:29:30.190
will get a Superman too. So well, yeah, I mean

00:29:30.190 --> 00:29:33.029
the same before Justice League Yeah, before right

00:29:33.029 --> 00:29:37.069
now the latest box office projections have Superman

00:29:37.069 --> 00:29:41.529
at a very reasonable 120 to 130 million domestically

00:29:41.529 --> 00:29:46.150
for the opening weekend Do you think that's soft

00:29:46.150 --> 00:29:48.630
or do you think that that it's gonna hit like

00:29:48.630 --> 00:29:50.450
you think that's that's probably about right?

00:29:55.380 --> 00:29:58.720
Whoo, I'm gonna say soft. I'm gonna say soft

00:29:58.720 --> 00:30:03.500
because Schools out for all the kids. It's summer

00:30:03.500 --> 00:30:06.299
summer break and this is a four quadrant That's

00:30:06.299 --> 00:30:07.980
the other difference between this and the Snyder

00:30:07.980 --> 00:30:10.759
verse you can take kids to this movie and they're

00:30:10.759 --> 00:30:13.660
gonna like it They're not gonna like Batman v

00:30:13.660 --> 00:30:20.220
Superman Right. Yeah, that was not for kids Very

00:30:20.220 --> 00:30:24.279
true and um, yeah, this is very kid friendly

00:30:24.279 --> 00:30:28.240
just Ba ba ba ba ba ba. I mean, if you have my

00:30:28.240 --> 00:30:33.900
kid. I mean, yeah. But no, I think I think it's

00:30:33.900 --> 00:30:39.019
like a whole family fun. Yeah, kids are going

00:30:39.019 --> 00:30:42.599
to enjoy it. Now, the studio, they're playing

00:30:42.599 --> 00:30:45.579
smart. The studio Warner Brothers is being like

00:30:45.579 --> 00:30:48.940
100 to 110. Some of the projection companies

00:30:48.940 --> 00:30:51.420
that do this for the industry, like now it's

00:30:51.420 --> 00:30:53.680
going to hit 140. I think Warner Brothers is

00:30:53.680 --> 00:30:59.359
like 100, 110 because they feel safe there. Yeah.

00:31:04.099 --> 00:31:09.900
Yeah. Its budget was 225 million, so it's got

00:31:09.900 --> 00:31:15.759
to do close to five fifty six hundred to break

00:31:15.759 --> 00:31:20.920
even. It's marketing and they marketed the shit

00:31:20.920 --> 00:31:24.579
out of this movie. Oh God, yes. I think I mentioned

00:31:24.579 --> 00:31:28.299

00:31:28.299 --> 00:31:35.140
