WEBVTT

00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:05.379
So the Thunderbolts director Jake Schreier, obviously

00:00:05.379 --> 00:00:06.960
we did our Thunderbolts review last week in our

00:00:06.960 --> 00:00:09.759
spoiler talk. We both really enjoyed Thunderbolts

00:00:09.759 --> 00:00:11.859
Deadline is reporting that they are eyeing him

00:00:11.859 --> 00:00:15.980
to do the first X -Men movie in the MCU immediate

00:00:15.980 --> 00:00:21.539
thoughts Yes, yes, I think because of how well

00:00:21.539 --> 00:00:23.320
he handled all the mental health aspects and

00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:26.120
all those like deep kind of like interpersonal

00:00:26.120 --> 00:00:30.000
relationship stuff in Thunderbolts Because of

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:32.899
how X -Men is written I think that shows somebody

00:00:32.899 --> 00:00:35.880
who can really get like that triangle between

00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:39.359
Scott and Jean and Logan and and like the the

00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:41.439
relationship between rogue and give like you

00:00:41.439 --> 00:00:43.659
have to be able to do interpersonal relationships

00:00:43.659 --> 00:00:47.119
really really well to do an X -Men movie, right?

00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:52.340
So Love the idea. We like this idea. I Like it.

00:00:52.340 --> 00:00:55.880
It's early talks according to Deadline and unknown

00:00:55.880 --> 00:00:57.759
where they stand in the deal -making process,

00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:02.420
but It looks like he's near the top of the list

00:01:02.420 --> 00:01:05.219
To do this and I think that his showing with

00:01:05.219 --> 00:01:08.299
Thunderbolts gave Kevin Feige a lot of faith

00:01:08.299 --> 00:01:16.200
That he could do it so Alright next quick hit.

00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:21.760
This one's kind of sadder, right? it looks like

00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:26.719
Matt Reeves may be stepping down as the director

00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:31.540
for Batman 2 Right. He did a great job with the

00:01:31.540 --> 00:01:34.760
Batman one There's been some reporting in Deadline

00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:36.280
in the Hollywood Reporter that he's been having

00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:39.799
him or somebody in his life Very vague has been

00:01:39.799 --> 00:01:42.040
having some health issues. Hence why the Batman

00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:47.420
2 keeps getting delayed It looks like the Production

00:01:47.420 --> 00:01:50.480
Weekly is showing that he's still the screenwriter

00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:52.719
on it, but that he may have stepped away as the

00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:57.730
director first question Does this give you? more

00:01:57.730 --> 00:01:59.209
worried that they're just going to scrap this

00:01:59.209 --> 00:02:04.989
project? Well, no, I think they're going to push

00:02:04.989 --> 00:02:08.990
on regardless, because I think the numbers behind

00:02:08.990 --> 00:02:11.729
the Batman were really good. I know. Seven hundred

00:02:11.729 --> 00:02:14.250
sixty five million dollar gross on like one hundred

00:02:14.250 --> 00:02:17.569
and twenty million dollar budget. Solid. So and

00:02:17.569 --> 00:02:20.830
that the the Penguin show that took place right

00:02:20.830 --> 00:02:23.870
after the Batman, that was a critical and commercial

00:02:23.870 --> 00:02:28.750
success for them on Max. I just don't know who

00:02:28.750 --> 00:02:30.909
they get if Matt Reeves has to step away. That's

00:02:30.909 --> 00:02:33.469
gonna be James Gunn has got a real he's gonna

00:02:33.469 --> 00:02:36.409
have a real tough time replacing Matt Reeves

00:02:36.409 --> 00:02:44.250
Yeah, I agree You know I At the end of the day

00:02:44.250 --> 00:02:49.889
right like Him or his family like he he should

00:02:49.889 --> 00:02:52.389
prioritize family over like creating another

00:02:52.389 --> 00:02:55.030
Batman movie. I totally get that I totally do

00:02:55.199 --> 00:02:58.560
Hopefully everything is okay in his life. Um,

00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:05.219
but yeah, I mean, this, this is part of like,

00:03:05.219 --> 00:03:08.460
uh, I don't know part of living, you know, trying

00:03:08.460 --> 00:03:10.620
to solve problems and figure this shit out. It's

00:03:10.620 --> 00:03:12.780
going to be interesting. I hope they don't fuck

00:03:12.780 --> 00:03:16.819
it up, but, but no, like overall, like if, if

00:03:16.819 --> 00:03:18.759
he needs to like focus on his family and stuff,

00:03:18.759 --> 00:03:20.800
I hope he does. Yeah. I would hate for someone

00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:23.620
to be like, oh yeah. Like I, I don't know. I

00:03:23.620 --> 00:03:26.490
didn't go to a funeral. or I got a divorce just

00:03:26.490 --> 00:03:29.330
so I can make another Batman movie, right? Yeah,

00:03:29.389 --> 00:03:33.949
no, absolutely. But I won. I don't think it's

00:03:33.949 --> 00:03:35.870
going to be canceled because like you said, The

00:03:35.870 --> 00:03:39.889
Penguin Show. Dear God, that was so well done.

00:03:40.050 --> 00:03:42.310
I loved every aspect of the first movie. It's

00:03:42.310 --> 00:03:46.169
great. Penguin was great. Yeah, solid. All right.

00:03:46.289 --> 00:03:49.620
Next quick hit topic. They obviously spoiled

00:03:49.620 --> 00:03:51.699
the title stuff regarding Thunderbolts and what

00:03:51.699 --> 00:03:53.680
the asterisk means. They did it very quickly

00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:56.919
after the movie came out. Did they reveal that

00:03:56.919 --> 00:04:02.340
publicly too soon? They only waited until like

00:04:02.340 --> 00:04:07.219
Monday to spoil it. Did they? Yeah. Yeah. We

00:04:07.219 --> 00:04:09.300
obviously saw it on preview night, so we knew.

00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:12.080
But there was a lot of conversation early this

00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:13.620
week online about whether they should have waited

00:04:13.620 --> 00:04:17.720
a few more days to to give away that spoiler.

00:04:19.970 --> 00:04:22.550
I me personally, I think it was a very smart

00:04:22.550 --> 00:04:28.269
marketing move because I think it so one you

00:04:28.269 --> 00:04:32.029
keep sitting in the talk. Right. So you had your

00:04:32.029 --> 00:04:34.050
opening weekend, which was hopefully really good

00:04:34.050 --> 00:04:37.069
and really big. Right. And then how do you make

00:04:37.069 --> 00:04:39.970
sure you keep people coming in? It's like, hey,

00:04:40.529 --> 00:04:42.670
those of you that maybe aren't comic book nerds

00:04:42.670 --> 00:04:46.529
like this isn't such a random, weird group of

00:04:46.529 --> 00:04:49.250
people. These are the new avengers. Yeah, like

00:04:49.250 --> 00:04:52.569
you should go watch it and it probably I it probably

00:04:52.569 --> 00:04:54.209
worked on some degree like people were like,

00:04:54.430 --> 00:04:57.350
oh shit These are the avengers like I do have

00:04:57.350 --> 00:05:00.370
to go see this movie now. I don't know I think

00:05:00.370 --> 00:05:05.629
it was smart Okay, um next one We found out earlier

00:05:05.629 --> 00:05:08.629
this week that GTA 6 is not coming out this year,

00:05:08.889 --> 00:05:10.850
much to the happiness of many game publishers.

00:05:11.470 --> 00:05:14.750
It's going to be landing in May of 2026. They

00:05:14.750 --> 00:05:16.649
released a new trailer that looks amazing that

00:05:16.649 --> 00:05:19.149
apparently was recorded only on a standard PS5,

00:05:19.230 --> 00:05:24.009
not even a Pro. First off, are you surprised

00:05:24.009 --> 00:05:27.970
that GTA 6 is being delayed again? And it will

00:05:27.970 --> 00:05:35.449
be 12 years. From GTA 5 to GTA 6 almost 13 and

00:05:35.449 --> 00:05:38.350
and and do you think the weights going to be

00:05:38.350 --> 00:05:44.310
worth it? Something I've not looked into too

00:05:44.310 --> 00:05:47.589
much I did see a headline that was like think

00:05:47.589 --> 00:05:52.449
something like 60 to 80 percent of gaming PCs

00:05:52.449 --> 00:05:55.490
will not be able to play I'm buying it for my

00:05:55.490 --> 00:06:01.399
ps5 already decided But are you surprised about

00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:10.899
the delay I Not not really a Game that's been

00:06:10.899 --> 00:06:15.160
in the works for 12 years that has cost more

00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:20.800
to make than Some countries GDP. Yeah. Yeah,

00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:27.040
like I There it doesn't know it doesn't surprise

00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:29.160
me when when you have that much riding on one

00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:31.980
game that you've already invested so much in

00:06:31.980 --> 00:06:34.839
you're going to have to one make sure every little

00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:40.560
thing is as Correct as you possibly can And also

00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:42.399
just like in general if you're pushing out like

00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:46.819
a PC game shit's always evolving in PC right

00:06:46.819 --> 00:06:51.199
like you have to keep up with the time so I Don't

00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:56.250
know it doesn't surprise me Okay. I think that's

00:06:56.250 --> 00:06:59.189
going to do it for quick hits. So just a few

00:06:59.189 --> 00:07:01.670
quick topics to chat about really, really fast.

00:07:01.709 --> 00:07:02.930
Hope you all enjoyed that.
