Well, in the know-plaws, just the clap, the only show that says Lala Land winning the Oscars is fake news. I'm sorry, winning best picture is fake news. I don't know, I think they're pretty much one of the Oscars without winning best pictures. I, they did, they did.
Um, it turns out that Warren Beatty was handed the wrong envelope. He was handed the best actress and Reddit, um, and then you get half of Lala Land's speech and then half of moonlights. You know, actually, I give it to the producers and the director of Lala Land. They actually were pretty gracious.
When it was revealed that it was the wrong picture. Oh, they got off the stage, because at one point like, no, it's just one of those things like they could have thrown a fit. They could have acted like fucking children, but they actually did pretty graciously accept what had happened. Yeah, and Jimmy Kimmel was actually kind of subdued about it.
Well, I, I was like, I have no idea what's going on. Yeah, you're right. He literally had no idea what the fuck was going on. So, you know, stuff happens, it's live TV.
That's how it goes. Yeah, no one said anything overly horrible about Trump. Um, but we're all wondering what was going to happen when Meryl Streep took the stage. Um, as a overrated actress.
So, I'm very glad that Matt Damon didn't get too ashamed during the Oscars. Oh my God. I explained the whole thing with, um, what's Kimmall and Damon? Yeah, it's my mom.
I'm sorry, but the one with God, it was Ben Affleck and he was like wearing that Damon under the suit and snuck him on set. Yeah. I don't remember what was it Batman Superman? It might have been promoting Batman Superman, like he like wore Matt Damon on to the Kimmall set.
So, um, and Kimmall set it basically just ended up being kind of a dope joke in the first season, where they'd end up being too busy and saying, sorry, they didn't come back. Yeah, we had a Batman and then it turned into I'm fucking Matt Damon, which turned into I'm fucking Ben Affleck. But like I said, no, I love their weird little hilarious feud. Yeah, it doesn't really exist in case you're wondering.
Um, you know, it's obviously about Damon and his face. So he agreed to hate him like that. I mean, case you're a killer. I mean, I'm going to say that the world's most milked health, the milked toast person I've been tired.
No, I wouldn't tell him milk toast. It means he's a little milked toast. Really? You don't think so?
No, Jason born alone. Like, I mean, the, the funny thing is, the funny thing is, him and Jason born, he did great at it. The physicality was amazing. The acting was great.
I really wish they brought Farco Portendio back in for more movies. But I still don't find this in action star. I know that's such an asshole thing to say, but when I look at him, I don't think of his physicality. No, he does.
He does a lot of more art, independent stuff. I mean, quote unquote. I think maybe it's just something about his build. He just always looks a little soft.
I don't mean that in a bad way. I just don't think of him as like the super brick Jason's statement out of Death Race 2000. Okay. Yeah, whatever that reaction was.
We have so much to talk about other than the Oscars, which we're not going to talk about because we're done. The son of Zorn Finale? I did watch the son of Zorn Finale. Everything's coming up Zorn except for that part where he gets kidnapped by whatever it is like a snake person.
I actually really like the fact that they didn't have the end of the season being her fiance disappearing. I like that they have to follow up episodes with them finding him again and readjusting. And he comes, you know, and they come to grips and she realizes that, that, um, yeah, that, um, not Tim Curry, Tim. Meadows.
Meadows. And not Tony Collette. Cheryl Hines. Cheryl Hines, thank you.
Like find love and they find that's real. And I like that Tim Meadows finally fucking mans up a little. Yeah. Well, that was the whole point.
He was always a good person, but he just let so many people walk all over him. And he has a character turn and then Zorn has a character turn. Everything's a fury. Because he's committed to staying in Southern California to turn a lego-log.
Yeah. Or son of Zorn. Yeah, Alan. And then that turns out that we don't know where that weird scepter went because it was sold at a garage sale.
And that's why. I don't remember what his fucking name is. Yeah. So I'm just selling villain from his past kidnaps and for his.
Well, it's like a skeleton. It's like a skeleton, but it's like a serpent or not serpent or that's G.I. Joe. But yeah, like it's some kind of snake based name.
But that also happens like after. But again, Meadows and Cheryl Hines got back. He's doing her thing. Like I said, they get married.
Is Linda the name of his boss? Yes. Well, she was his boss. Well, she's his boss again.
Oh, that's right. Like I said, she gets her job back. Things are going well with them. They actually seem to actually make his muktoes fucks up.
Yeah. I was going to say it takes responsibility. But in fact, it wasn't even his fucking fault. Yeah.
I was going to say things are going well with them. And then he goes out to get balloons and get kidnapped. Unfortunately, the timing of that really leads everyone to believe that he just went back to his old ways and he's right off to Zafiri again. So I'm interested to see if it gets a yes or no.
It's called a long shot to get a second season, unfortunately. Yeah. And this one, unfortunately. Especially the way it ended.
Honestly, it was no case series, but it was nothing I was ever excited about. I never thought to myself, ooh, son is on tomorrow. Did I enjoy it? Absolutely.
I had my list. I had my life season stick around with the guy. I like the dynamics of everything. I like the premise of it.
It wasn't. I also do like that they have Cheryl Hines' like this insane co-predicted party girl that's completely reformed. They're like, yeah, talking about like the crazy fucking orgies. Yeah.
And the fact that when Alan takes the anti-Zafiri in drug, that turns his legs or his bottom half normal, he looks down at his pants and goes, oh, only one. Yeah. They have a joke in the last episode is that I don't know if you're like a side to side or front and back penis. Yeah.
So if it gets a second season, I'd be very interested to see where it goes. I think it's got a lot of potential. I don't want to use this as a segue, but I think that it's like powerless where it's really cute, but once you get substance, then you can get into it. I think powerless is doing better than son is born.
I think they've started to build substance to it. Already? Well, we're starting to powerless. Yeah, let's start to powerless.
So we've four episodes into powerless. Yes. They completely and utterly changed the premise of the pilot after pitching up for the first time. And so now it's about them building the products that help people that are powerless as opposed to her bringing in insurance adjusters trying to get people's claims that for things that happen.
Yeah. And that's a matter of like gaining business, I can win, and sales profits. Yes. So that Alan Tudic can go to Gotham.
So Alan Tudic, him with the gun hands when they mean him, I laughed way fucking louder than I should have. The show is really, it is. It's very in touch and plugged in and very funny. It's very smartly written.
But it's like, can we get a copy of that photo? And like there's the one with him and the sombrero and the mustache with the finger guns that cracked me up so hard. That was the last episode where they cropped someone. He cropped out of the Dreamseam photo.
Yeah. And the H, not this last one, but the one before the last one. It's episode three where that was in. Okay.
Because it's the same one where she gets into the weird kind of piercing contest with a guy from HR about their fantasy league. Right. Right. And running on the internet.
This last one is the one where he's in the Robin suit and both Danny Poudy and Ron Funches, notice he's wearing something under his suit and keep trying to figure out what it is. By the way, Alan Tudic doing, if that wasn't Danny Poudy doing his Batman impression, I'm actually disappointed. I'm pretty sure that was Danny Poudy. Because Danny Poudy is a great Batman impression.
Yeah, because he did a great push about on community. The whole one where he lost his Batman commentary and he thought he was Batman but it was really just there downstairs to never steal any shoes. Yes. Oh, by the way, it's the creepiest fucking thing.
But no, Powerless is starting to gain something. It's really cute. I think, honestly, this is one of those that we need to give it 10 episodes and if it has hard by then, then it'll go. Well, I think it really did.
When they're doing well. It really built hard when you have Vanessa Hudgens date a henchman played by a major. I think as you know exactly what that made me think of the venture brothers when it was the Monarch as a henchman trying to date Doctor Girlfriends. Oh, when she was like Queen of Filia or what?
In an area. In an area under the Phantom Limb. Yeah, exactly. No, but it was one of those where it's like, you know, it's the henchman have lives too.
Yeah, no, it's the whole henchman support group in season two of the venture brothers. Yeah, and it shows a bigger world and flashes them out. And I really liked that you had that with a major from I zombie. I don't know the actress.
I don't either. See, I always loved if they have a website with the five sides you're dating a henchman. Then he invites you to the later on. Yeah, I was never covered in bruises.
I loved that he had like the Green Lantern. That was so fucking fun. I think the Green Lantern punch. He's like, I gotta go.
Because she thinks he's a doctor. Like I said, look at this bracelet. You got me. He must have stolen it from a really nice place.
And she's like, what? Yeah, you're doing it. But it's I really like shows that do the whole henchman or people do the thing. I know it's weird and stupid, but it's one of those things where it's the beginning of the fourth season of Adventure Brothers where the monarch breaks out of prison and 21 and 24 have to go to the ghetto and try and recruit more henchmen.
Third season. Is it the third season? Yeah, I guess that. You're a lot close ties to friends and family and like a job endless upper management.
Yeah. Yeah. They set up like the weird, like he's wearing the puppy jacket and they have like the weird thing. It's like the job.
Yeah, like the job fair. But where's job fair booth in the middle of nowhere ever? You get a hot piece? You have a cool ride?
Yeah. And then I've got a bunch of gangsters. They do and it was hilarious. I done told you.
My name was number one. So yeah, I think powerless is building hearts. But I've also asked the question that we've been asking for years. Why the fuck does anybody live in Gotham anymore?
Well, they don't. Nobody's just one of those like white people living in Gotham. Why do people live in fucking New York? It's super man around.
But you know what? But you know what? Yeah. Is it in the New York City?
I think I'm from New York City. I think I'm from New York City. No, Gotham is on a jersey based on that map. I'm pretty sure I'm from the West Coast.
I'm from New York. I want to say that, like I said, the Metropolis is probably, I'm not going to say it's probably Chicago. But it's like why does anybody live in these cities anymore? The rent's terrible.
It's hard to find work and travel is basically a hazard to your health. When you don't include superheroes and supervillains. I was including them. Which is really funny because I think they mentioned that in the third episode where she's trying to find an apartment in I think they call it what?
Charming City. Yeah, Charming City. And she can't find one that's affordable. And I kind of want to be like, where are all these apartments cheapest pop of all this shit that's going on?
Right. Her falafel standard or whatever that was. The hot dog partner. It was scones and muffins.
Scones and everything. Yeah. I guess I totally bombed by the Jack O'Lantern or Jack O'Lanterns or whatever it was. Like I said, why aren't apartments cheapest pop?
And what do you think that like the higher they are off the ground like the higher the level the cheaper they be? Absolutely. Because you run into like collateral damage via Man of Steel. Just saying.
A lot of collateral damage. No, I get that but I'm just saying it's one of those like I think I might have found an apartment that's okay and they all roll her eyes at her. Why wouldn't real estate be super fucking cheap? Oh my god, I just had the greatest idea for comic book.
What's up? It would all be all about a superhero that also happens to be a realtor. And what he's doing is basically selling all of the abandoned properties in Detroit and promising to police them himself. Like as a superhero?
No, he'd be a realtor. No, he's protecting them. Yeah, he protects them himself. So he's basically just trying to make his own money by making this safe area but also selling all of the property at the same time.
So those are going to try to do his like protected body. It's not all Detroit. Like all Detroit's terrible right now. So you have all the fucking loose properties and sell them again and then sell police them to make the property more valuable.
No. Sounds super villain but like no you're on to something. I don't mean like I'm just saying. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's like Robocop. Like you're basically selling the police protection. But if you're doing it also with somebody who owns the property you can make so much more money. Let that ruminate.
Yeah. Get back on your thoughts. This is a good idea. Yeah.
Speaking of superheroes, let's jump right into DC TV. Supergirl says. Yeah, that's what I've been on talk about it. Supergirl's suix.
Flash. So they pretty much shot their budget on one episode. Just a shot their watch. Oh my notes as budget shot.
They went to Earth to Gorilla City. Which frankly I've been looking forward to this since they started teasing it. Last season when they sent Garage to Urpoo. I, wow.
There's some spectacularly bad green screen. But otherwise this is where they, like the next three episodes are going to be them trapped in stuccolabs as like bottle episodes. Because there's no way like the animated so many monkeys. So many apes.
Okay. I can't that but a bottle episode. So it's not necessarily a bad episode. No, that's very true.
Just end up in your underwear behind tables trying to figure out who took the impen. Exactly. Community. Great.
But you've got, they animated Grodd, Solovar, an ape, Ernie, which we'll talk about in a moment. The entirety of Gorilla City. Like I said, they really couldn't splurge for not great green screen. This is essentially I think what they've been budgeting for for probably two seasons now.
Is that what we haven't seen so far? Budgetary reasons. Yes and yes. Like I said, I think they basically, the second that they put Grodd there, I think they basically started saying, hey, let's kick this X amount of money over here and start building in this.
You're going to get a lot of monkeys with CGI. Well, I don't mean that. At least they're kissing sheep. I don't mean that in a bad way.
I'm just saying. I think they've been building towards this budget wise for a while now. So yeah, maybe the next we episode them trapped in star labs trying to make sure nobody escapes from the loop. Oh, Caitlin's bracelets are broken.
Like I said, because those are cheap to make. But you know what? It's kind of worth it. For the most part, yeah.
They set a lot up. Like in terms of there's a monkey. I know there are apes. Don't jump down like Dick on Twitter about this.
What was I watching recently where somebody said that better be a chimpanzee tail than I feel? Somebody's like chimpanzees don't have tails. No, they're part of the game. I don't remember what that was.
Oh, no, I remember it was an episode of The Simpsons. Okay, go ahead. So you do have a massive gorilla army that's ready to overtake Central City? Is it bad that when you say gorilla army I normally imagine dissidents in some sort of Asia?
I don't get the reference. So, yes. Gorilla warfare. Oh, different kind of gorilla.
It's spelled the same. No, it's not. It's not? Okay.
No, it is not. Okay. No, it is not. Well, that just happens.
So you have the gorilla army set the tick on Central City, which is what they're trying to stop, but it turns out they managed to get five or Cisco away from Garad. He's going to use him to open a portal to Earth One. And you're like, oh, everything's okay until Gypsy shows up. Who Gypsy's like the super vibe.
Let them be confused with five from Earth Two. Did he die? His name wasn't five. It was something else.
Oh, yeah, right. It was like not quick. Yeah, it was something. But anyway, so...
Sure, it wasn't played? No, because that's... Frequency, was it frequency? Or amplitude or something?
Something to do with sound waves. Yeah. So anyway, so Gypsy's on Earth Two, radio and Sure, that's what darts sound like. No, darts don't like Spiddick, of course, like he just did.
No, but they'd be like... Yes, let's keep doing this for another two days. This is soft tissue penetration. So anyway, my issue, yeah, the Great Need for a Band.
Right? Soft tissue penetration? So anyway, my only issue is that everyone gets shot with these darts, these poison darts, and the effect of flash at the same rate, the effects of everyone else, which I know... That doesn't make sense.
Okay, yes, you're absolutely right. I think you get drunk. Why would the fucking poison in a dart affect him the same way? Exactly.
I think he's a prisoner or be able to... Kind of power through it. ... metabolize it or the fact that, like, if he felt like in the comics, when Wally West, which I know is not the show's flash, but whenever Wally West, if he was to be shot by a bullet from a gun, where else would a bullet come from?
I thought I'd think about it. But if he felt the heat of the bullet, like on his skin, he would automatically vibrate, intangible. And try and vibrate the bullet away from him. Well, through him, because he would go in tangent.
Oh, that makes sense. Yeah. Sorry, is that's not going in the other direction as opposed to him just leaning into it? No, no, so you could vibrate, intangible.
That's exactly what it's doing. Which is why in Mark Wade's Tower of Babel, which there was a Justice League cartoon based on it, they built a vibrating bullet that would match his vibrations. Okay. So...
What is the device they use to kill the flash when they get Batman's plan? Of everything bullet. He has the thing on his hand, right? In the cartoon?
In the cartoon, it's a bomb that gets implanted through his hand. Yeah. If he tries to vibrate, it'll go off. It'll go off.
And if it goes under a certain amount of speed. They determine the boss. They speed the vibration problem. Okay, sorry, go ahead.
Memories will kill for that. But in the comics, I was a vibrating bullet that put him into super speed seizures. It sounds terrible. Oh, it's one of my favorite lines in comics where when they finally get it out of him, he goes, oh my god, there were days I wanted to die, how long was I out, and they said 22 minutes.
Do you realize that actually kind of calls back to all I shouldn't say calls back to you, but it's very germane to an episode of Star Trek where the Captain Card gets knocked out for a few minutes, but in those few minutes he's knocked out, he lives an entire lifetime. And when he wakes up, he feels like he's lost a family in an entire life of things that he thought he'd lived. It's very much the, what is the, the, the, Alan Moore, and then the man made a version of it for the man who has everything. With a black mercy.
Okay, yes, no, that's exactly what it's when Superman goes back to Krypton and he thinks he's very sad. Yeah, he's done and all that. And like I said, it's the bad news thing. But it's a hallucination that takes like seconds, minutes.
Like I said, when you wakes up, you have that loss of a lifetime of memories, even though you were only gone for a few minutes. But then he's like, I had a son. Like, I loved my son. That's up there with the him killing a little girl.
Because he can't, yeah, him killing a little girl because he can't control her powers. Like that's, that's like part of, part of ice crying that. Oh yeah, absolutely. That's one of those, every time that Batman made you cry.
Yeah. All the times he didn't like chocolate milk. But like I said, it's just when Batman goes into Ace and she can't control her powers. And she knows that it's killing her and she's like, say with me until the end, and she's like, yes.
And they're on the swing set. Oh God. Fuck you, Bruce. It's almost as bad as the reimagining they did recently where you have the baby Brainiac coming to Earth.
And Latino Spider-Man, for lack of a better phrase. Do you not remember this? Where we are? It was, um, it was the God's and Monsters.
They had the cartoon where Brainiac came to Earth as a baby. And they had a sense of a sense of Superman into dealing with him. The Brainiac was a baby so he couldn't deal with his powers. No, that was, um, you're thinking of all sorts of Superman?
No, I think it's God's and Monsters. Yeah, you're right. It's a just re-watched. Yeah, you're right.
Yes. Where they're like, but he'll grow up into or I recognize that it will be a threat. And like I said, he walks in and it's just this sad little kid there crying that doesn't understand what's happening. And then he visions it.
Mm-hmm. But he has to. Yeah, it's a hard decision. But it's just one of those things where you're like, fuck you, Superman.
Yeah. Fuck you, it's the Fry Dogs episode, alright? Mm. Oh, the one with Ace?
No, no, I'm just saying this episode is the one with Ace. I'd say the one with Ace. The cartoons that make you cry. Um, yeah, the episode with Fry, where he discovers his dog again and they have a whole...
Two more. Two more bucks. Well, it's not the episode that's the problem. It's the epilogue and you see more waiting for him for like 10 more years.
And it's not that he wasn't loved and cared for. It's that he was still waiting for Fry. Oh, I don't. I don't.
Yeah, no, no, no. So on Arrow. Yes, let's move on to Arrow, please. It's been revealed that Chase, the DA, who's...
Has it been revealed yet, but it's him. No, we all know. Well, the people that are in the comics do. He covered up Billy's death, who, Prometheus manipulated Ollie into killing Billy, who was Felicity's boyfriend.
Which, do you know if... I don't... Does Prometheus know? Like, Prometheus knows that Ollie's the Arrow, right?
I don't know if he knows how involved Felicity is. Exactly. So like, was it just like, oh, like, here's a copy can kill or is it... This is his ex-girlfriend's new boyfriend.
And there's a whole other level of shit we can drop down on. I would have to say honestly, I would assume it's the whole level of bullshit because why would they pass up the opportunity to write that in a story, right? It's a much more compelling story like, but they haven't made that clear yet. You don't really know.
So, you do find out. I'm sorry, Deb, I'll figure about this. Very slow-moving episode, but a lot of stuff happens. You said everything and nothing happened in this episode.
Well, yeah, Fia coming back. Don't...yeah, yet. I'd like Willette. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, on this one. You never coming back? She finds out that Ollie's journalist girlfriend is starting to put together the dots on, or an arrow, Ollie, in terms of... I would have to connect the dots as opposed to put together the dots.
Yes, she connects them by putting them together. And she's a line. A line. A big line.
You're right, connect the dots. And so she and Fia was the hack of the journalist's computer, discrediting her, which is not a bad move. It's a little uncomfortable, but it makes sense in this scenario. Unfortunately, that results in her getting fired.
Which is better than what happened on Gotham when he did a journalist and she ended up getting shot. I don't know what you're talking about, don't care. I binge it. It's actually not bad, it's been...
it's on a logo still great. You still alive? What I thought they killed him by now? As bullet?
As far as I know, I mean, I'm in like three episodes behind, but yeah, he still alive. Kind of on him. He's still going to well in that character. So you have Ollie Pist at Fia and Felicity.
And his girlfriend. And his girlfriend. And his publicity were in such a great place. Yeah, well, they were getting better.
Obviously his journalist girlfriend mattered to him. You also have the fact that it's come out that, like I said, the DA had covered up Billy's death. And Prometheus says once again, I'm going to be building the media and certain things to turn the city against not just your hero. But all vigilantes?
Ollie himself, because now he's up for an impeachment of mayor. Interesting. So we shall see what happens. How many episodes do we have left this season?
Oof. Are we halfway through? We're more than halfway through. Are we two thirds through?
Yeah. So we're probably going to have six episodes left? Yeah, six, seven. Six or seven?
Maybe eight. Maybe eight. I think the last one I watched was seven, episode 11 or 12. Okay.
So we have 20, approximately 23, 24. I don't like you about 23, 24. Yeah. So, I mean, we're coming off of the midseason finale.
So you've probably got another. At least eight. Yeah. Legends, anything?
I don't. Do I have no some legends? No, but I do remember they managed to catch the brainwashed repunter. Looking to see how that plays out.
Once in the Legion of Doom is so much more fun to watch. Running once pants. Well, it's not in it. I'm sorry.
What you say, legions of doom, all I can think of is that. And you know exactly what I'm talking about. I know what you're talking about. But it's so much more fun to watch the dynamic of the Legion of Doom than to watch the legends.
I mean, I liked. Well, you know that I've had issues with legends from the get-go. Yeah. I mean, I think this even Spielberg episode of the Raiders of the Lost Art is a phenomenal episode.
I think it's going to stand as one of the strongest in the series, no matter how long the series goes. Well, they got renewed. But you're not happy about that, I know. I think it's a waste of talent.
And I think it's a bad premise. And I think they've handled it badly. Would you prefer to see the cast folded into other shows? I would.
Now that they have another black canary, I'd like to see what happens if white canary comes up against that. Frankly, I'd like to see them take over Supergirl so they can try one super shitty show with one half decent show and maybe make something modgable. Fun pitch. Supergirl sucks.
Legends goes and tries to make it better. Supergirl in the Legion of Legends, right? Nobody saw a side five. We high five.
We totally high five. I would love to see a Supergirl in the Legion of Legends. Well, that's what pisses me off the most about Legends of Tomorrow is they have such a talented cast. And it was incredibly talented cast.
And like I said, like the one episode of Legends that I super love is the one where Brandon Ralph and Hawke roll get stranded and end up trying to make a go of it in the 60s as a biracial couple. Fix him. No, Hawke roll. You're right it was Hawke roll.
No, this isn't the first season. This is within like the first ten episodes. No, that was second season. I think it was second season.
Okay. Well, they all get timed as placed. Yeah, like I said, they get stranded in the 60s. No, you're right it was the first season.
I think it's first season. I think it's first season. I think it's right in the 60s and ended up making a go of it and he's a professor and I can't remember what she does. But like I said, they ended up being like an actual functional couple and then they have to deal with all the repercussions of them joining the team afterwards.
That's like one of the only episodes I really truly enjoyed. Well, that and white canary can you ask the good luck? Actually the new one which was Camelot 3000. Which makes me think of Dracula 2000.
Well, it's just but is that an ultimate X-Men lunchbox I've never seen? Yeah, it's right there. I've had that for years. Superjose Magneto, who's the one on the right?
Get up and look at it. Yeah, no. Legend is it's a thing. I actually want to talk about the CW for a second.
Look at the other side. So we talked about it briefly. I started kind of vaguely watching Riverdale. You're going to hate it.
You're going to hate it. Like it had promising of an interesting Veronica Mars. It's a little bit too pretty little liars. Oh.
Yeah, exactly. It's a murder mystery, but it's so teenage. Also, they made some really bad makeup choices on some of their actresses. But like I said, it was supposed to be like a murder mystery that was a little bit too jubin'nile.
Like I said, I'm thinking about five episodes in right now and it does have some interesting things about it, but it's trying so hard and not doing great. Like you can tell it tries too hard. I can tell it's trying crazy too hard. It's also really underutilizing one of their best actresses, which is the actress who plays like it's trying to make a couple of the specific actresses in the series like these total sex symbols and it's just not working.
Also, the kid that they had murder is supposed to be really good looking and he has the weirdest mouth. Is the weirdest mouth? I'll pull up some pictures for you. Like I don't know what they did makeup wise to his mouth, but it looks very strange.
It looks like he's wearing lip liner. Thank you. So it's the Walking Dead. I'm behind by an episode, but I did want to get a few points.
I'm Negan. You saw it when I'm only referred to as the Battle Walker, which was fucking rad. Do you know what I'm talking about? Yes.
Okay, so they find this junkyard based group, I think they call them the Scavengers. Like Lucy, I don't think I have an actual name led by Jadis who that actress is killing it being like the most like apathetic character, which is like, yeah, we scavenge shit because we have to and we fight and if it's a bother then we don't. The actress that plays her is phenomenal. You're probably causing some kind of feedback.
You can't just look at it. No. Fine. I'm looking at it.
If there's feedback, you and I are talking later. See? You ruined it. Oh, that's a weird mouth.
I told you. It's like a bad bones ass. Like I said, it looks like he's wearing lip liner and I know that's not him. I know that's just bad makeup.
And they've been plumped. Like he did that, like, that, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the Jenner. No. No.
Well, you're thinking collagen. You're thinking Kylie Jenner. Yes, I am. Yes.
The battle walker. Awesome. They basically filled a zombie with spikes, blinded it, and put a helmet on it full of other spikes, so that Rick, every time he tries to defend himself from it, Chuts gets cut up. He's saying through his leg, go ahead.
This is like the modern version of throwing a flaming chicken over the wall in medieval times. It's just going to run around and set fire to your entire castle. Yeah, I can. Yeah, I guess that's, you know, due to go, uh, it's a living object that causes more damage than it realizes and it has some mind of its own.
Isn't the term for an arsenal of realised? We like to tell him fire and it runs through the building. You know what I'm talking about? Yeah, there is a word for that.
Yeah. But anyway, so, yeah, so that was great. It's a fire boat, but it's essentially a fire boat. But I love that you got to see like another elevation of how people can utilize walkers as weapons.
Which they actually kind of started hinting at in like one of the Diamond Deads. When they had the hanging zombies that they were torturing. Mm-hmm. And like, was it a sheriff's camp?
Yeah. Like I said, they started, like I said, early on in zombie films, they started hinting at how you could quote unquote weaponize a zombie. Yeah. And letting loose or like the fact that like there was in by this, you know, savior's camp, like they were going to be holding off that horde that you saw in the season before.
But yet, Rick and you know the group used that horde as a means to an end the season before as well. It's the whole thing of like the lights and sirens. You can hurt them to do a specific thing. You can draw them in a specific place.
This is just another escalation. You're actually kind of weaponizing it. Literally weaponizing it. So I loved that.
I loved that you find out that I wrote Jesus, but it was actually Father Gabriel. He's okay. Like he was taken against us. Will.
Just so you don't like it. I wrote Jesus. But I met the priest. I met Father Gabriel.
That he's okay. Like he wasn't trying to fuck over the group. He was taken against us. Will.
He gets like he and Rick have a really awesome moment near the end of the episode. Like I said, I'm a week behind, but they have a really good moment where you know. He needs redemption. And he finds it with Rick where like he, it could have been a moment where he threw Rick under the bus.
And he goes like, hey, this is Rick Ryan's. He can find whatever you want. He's stuck in the scavengers. That's why you let him go.
Because he can find what you want. And Rick's like, right before he, Rick, Rick, Rick, Rick, Rick. Before he, Rick, Rick, Rick. And you know, he, Rick understands what he's saying.
It's like, you know what? Father Gabriel has put his faith in Rick. Not, I'm not saying like unto God, but like in terms of a very human level. He's put his faith in Rick that Rick can do what he needs to do to get ABC done to me.
You know, he can get the means done. What? I can't say procured. Pecure?
Pecure of needs. I've been known to acquire certain goods. Oh, you're talking about red. Okay, gotcha.
Oh, because I can't say, damn it. You can say, damn it, you can't say the other word. Well, I think I should say, cool your most intelligent idea, but still. What else you got?
There are a few movies, well, let's wrap up TV before we jump into movies. I want to say, once again, I say it every week and I know you're rolling, you're going to roll your eyes, shield is fucking killing it. whole thing of like who's an LMD which is like Model Decoy who's not so who are these advanced androids that can you know evade sensors and connect human what is their agenda. Once again I like this half of the season that's more about trust espionage technology than I was the first half of the season that was about magic.
I've said that pretty much every week since even some shill came back. Two things speaking of we talked about gorilla armies earlier there's an army of daisies like the highly trained they can't replicate the even power so does that like the Quaker abilities but we know yeah it's a kind of army of amelinda mace effectively. How do you know what I was going to say she's not the calvary but still. So and speaking of calvary they show that their bodies are like in the matrix or their minds are like effectively in the matrix they call the framework but they've been uploaded into these like ideal situations for them to not reject it right and you've got Coulson living a normal life as a civilian probably with a cello player played by any actor who wasn't in it.
You've got you know Daisy gets woken up as an agent of shill and they're like hey tell your boyfriend to wake up it's time to go to work and she goes oh my god Lincoln and then you realize that it's the guy that was Hydra I want to say that's war thank you. I was trying to get the actress names Dalton. Like I said his Darif and name is war. Yeah that war is her boyfriend and May looks to be very happy going up the side of the truscalion which is the base of the Avengers except that instead of an Avengers symbol it's a Hydra symbol yeah so we'll see how that plays out and then of course Fitz and Simmons what one of them is in there.
Which one? The guy is that Simmons? No that's Fitz. Yeah Fitz is the girl Fitz is the dude.
Yeah Fitz is in there living a happy life most Simmons. Yeah so and they kind of did talk about how the LMD of Fitz was like well have you ever thought about marriage and Simmons is like well then we rescued him I'll ask him about it because she realizes that the android is you know or the LMD is asking her but it's based on his brainwave so a lot of interesting stuff is going on in terms of what's real it's not who can you trust me? I'll ask you a sub question. So one of the things that has been pretty prevalent in artificial reality movies is that if you're too happy you realize it's not reality.
You reject the Matrix that actually happened in shield as well. Like I said you reject the Matrix but it also happens in like Rick and Morty when they have all the parasites they're like if you can't remember a negative memory obviously it's not real and the first time I ever remember encountering this oddly enough was during Red Dwarf. In Red Dwarf the books and the movies at some point they come across this video game that makes your every fantasy come to life and Rimmer is such a goddamn sad sack that even in his fantasy life he's not fucking happy. Is this just human nature?
Absolutely that we don't accept perfection. I mean living as a... I'm having to say perfection I'm just saying you're right. The perfect world like heaven um so to speak.
Well that happens in Futurama too when you know they have the whole thing with Evo and everybody goes to heaven and is happy except for Leela. Admittedly Leela's right but still everybody's completely happy and in love. But even the the B episode of Futurama where... Oh god that's such a sad episode too.
Yeah but it's like the fact that it's a rejection of a perfect world because we do define our triumphs through conflicts. Yeah. But you know I mean so yeah to be a perfect world where everything works out yes I do think it's very human to reject that. Okay.
Like I said it's a pretty common idea I throw out sci-fi is that if you come into the perfect world or you get manipulated into your version of the perfect world inside your head you're gonna reject it because you know exactly. Once again we go back to the Black Mercy episode of Justice League. I'm just gonna start crying because I just remember him saying goodbye to his son and I'm not. Yeah.
Which should be red flag number one. Why would you name your son not to your greatest enemy but I guess it wouldn't be his greatest enemy if he never left my dad. I don't know if he's got father basically. Yeah.
But still just oh god. And as a little kid that was just such a kick in the dick. That one where later on the bat and gets attacked by the Black Mercy and he's like mom dad and you're like shut the fuck up. Like shut the front door.
So okay sorry continue. So that's that's pretty much everything we've got on um on TV we'll get some movies real quick. Did I watch anything TV wise I talked to you about? No I've been re-vinging Brooklyn Nine-Nine it's much better as a binge I still find it funny I still like a great deal but I like watching it as a binge the most week to week but I said the same thing about Parks and Rec.
