Hello and welcome to No Applause, just the clap. The only show that says, holy shit, we're at episode 200, Deb. All I had to do was call you about Zoolander and you'd be 200 episodes in to a podcast. Yep, wait, what?
I'll you about Zoolander, because, yep, yep, yep. I just want to bring up two of my favorite moments from the show. That's not realizing what the point is. Well, that's almost every show.
Two of my favorite moments were Jimmy. Jimmy the Cross about the Toldooth operator? Yeah, the Toldooth operator. Toldooth operator from Debtsch.
No, Jimmy. I don't know. I think it was either Digimon or Judeo. It was Digimon because that was the Zool Dragon episode.
Yeah, that's when I used to actually watch network TV. So I was watching a Saturday morning cartoon before you came over. Yeah, no, that was the Sol Dragon. No, it wasn't the Sol Dragon.
It was the Sol Dragon. Sol Dragon Dragon. And then just, it's easily one of my favorite moments as well, when you said Merber. You know, Merber.
When you kill someone, it's Merber. So I don't know if you have any favorite moments. I know I didn't get to do any. Any time?
Well, I also didn't realize it was episode 200. No, hopefully in the future people we get to see my jackassie notes on the, I was going to say, agents of, I was going to hear agents. Yeah, I'm going to post that. Like I said, you gave me the roughest of outlines, and I being me had to make a bunch of notes about it.
It was awesome. Well, I'll get to the other few pages and get that done. Let me think about it. OK.
So we'll just jump right into DCTV, as well as the next notes on the list. Flash, fuck it. Wait, what are you calling it? Oh, that's what I'm going to ask.
I fucking told you. I fucking told you. It did not start, my name is Gary Allen, and the last piece of episode. It did not.
I'm actually depressed that it didn't, or disappointed, rather. I will say that the villain du jour on this episode was Abracadabra played by him. It's called People Uncalled Abracadabra. Well, now hold on.
So we haven't gotten to how I full on called it, other than with the drumsticks and tap and shit. The bad guy this week was, or last week, was Abracadabra played by him. I can't remember the actor's name. He's got it.
Is he a Miller fan? No, it was not C. Miller. You know him.
He was in a couple of things. He was the weird, Slavic hacker in Ant-Man, and he was, oh, fuck, it was the other thing. He was in there. I was like, oh, he was the Thomas Schiff in.
In the Dark Knight, who's the guy that was wearing Rachel Doss's name tag that Aaron Eckhart, Harvey Dent, was like, tell me where she is. And he starts flipping the coin in the back. And he's like, this is not how we do things. The abducts him.
He's like the crazy guy. No, no. The abducts in the, I'm doing something. No, I can't picture his face.
I know the scene, but I can't figure it. Yeah, yeah, but like that guy, because I was like, oh, that guy. That guy. That guy.
It was Jimmy. No. So, Dick Moo, Jimmy. Abracadabra was great.
They explained that he's from the 64th, I'm I'm so dimension. 64th century, thus any technology would have seemed like magic to us. But then he's been like, infuses the wrong word. But he's got nanotechnology fused to him.
That's basically a part of him. Yeah, so that instead of being a meta, he's got nanotechnology running through his body. He's a bio-human, but in different sense. Yeah, so, or meta-human.
You know what I mean. Yeah, so, and the entire fucking episode, who's not there at all? HR. Until the very end, he's like, oh, I was with some chick.
And I was like, yeah, that's why you don't see Clark Kent. It's a man that's a fucking girl. The worst thing is when you say HR, like I think, yeah, he would have been resources should have gotten involved a lot. Yeah, but you know what I mean.
So the fact that he was mysteriously gone the entire fucking episode while Abra-Kedabra was floating around, it's so Abra-Kedabra. And he was like, I know everything about Zap-Etar and Zap-Etar is the one that hurt you the most, even outside of Zoom and the other guy, reverse flash, you have Arthon. Like he's like, yeah, he's like, everything that Abra-Kedabra said was so pointed that it was like, he is so Zap-Etar, Zap-Etar doesn't exist, it's Abra-Kedabra. Thomas Schwiff is actually the next note on flash.
Caitlin gets hurt, unfortunately, through a series of explosions, they managed to save her by turning her into Killer Frost effectively because her body regenerates cryo-biologically, I guess you'd say. Is that it freezes backwards? It freezes together? It's like a cold-based healing factor, which yeah, sure, whatever, fucking science, I guess.
So Killer Frost, you saw that on the board of all the things in the future that Killer Frost is on the loose. So this, of course, another thing from the future that Barry Allen will is gonna have to stop. You got to deal with it at some point. They need to- I guess how they never put in an impotence joke there.
Like, that's not something he's gonna have to deal with in the future. You just think that like, getting in this is Viagra. Oh, yeah. He makes- Well, he makes getting eventually.
Oh, it's like- But I think they need to shit her get off the pot in terms of the whole like, will she, won't she, kill her frost thing? Well, I think the problem is that- I'm done with the bracelets and the necklaces. It's like, either cure her, make her go bad, or have her come to grips with it. Those are the three ways you can do it.
Well, I think, unfortunately, sometimes, the DC shows suffer with some of the same problems that the Netflix shows have, where you have too many episodes, you have to kind of draw it out longer than you would like. We will talk about that later in terms of Netflix shows. I think that a lot of the DC shows might really benefit from doing your 13 episode season as opposed to 24. And I get that they split into basically two sub seasons, but still.
Yeah, well, that's the formula now. It didn't used to be that way with AMB seasons. But- Yeah, the winter finale in the spring. Exactly.
Mid-season finale and season finale. So I think they did the show to go out the pot with cover for us. I think it would benefit from doing a shorter run. It's not that I don't enjoy it, because I've enjoyed the flash a lot, greatly.
But I feel like maybe they do better trying to fit the story into shorter episodes as opposed to trying to draw it out. Or we'll do less episodes and do what Blight Mirror did on the BBC, which is instead of doing six episodes of the issue, six episodes of seasons, they did three episodes of seasons with double the money for each episode. So you put that into flash and you actually reduce the cost of a girl that brought episode. Or it doesn't hurt as much.
You don't have to have possibly a bottle episode or something that looks dumb. Or they can have more money to check out. Maybe none of us have problems with bottle episodes. No, not since maybe.
But what I'm saying is I'm looking forward to the fact that they limited the defenders to an eight episode run. And I think a lot of other shows might benefit by limiting their runs. And they're just a lot shorter than 24, 28 episodes. I mean, 10 episodes seems real short, but still.
Yeah, I mean, I think there's probably a heavy medium there and maybe 13's a little short, but. 12 or 13's good, especially if you're actually doing good territory building in a good story arc. Yeah, but then you run into the problem and any studio executives are gonna say this. Like, well, then we're gonna have to double up on shows because they're only running, quote unquote, half a season.
So, yeah, I have actually no, no. No, we're both. Yeah, that's yeah, you're right. But they're looking at it from advertising standpoint and it's like we'll be in some more at a time on 24 episodes.
Then we can on 13 at one show. If you have a highly anticipated show, you can sell a shitload of advertising. That's true, you can double it, it wouldn't be that double. But I mean.
Think about advertising during like the last season of Badman, which I'm pretty sure is only 12 episodes. That was a split season as well, I believe. But I mean, even like the last season of Son S All right, yeah, no, I totally agree. I'm tired of especially network TV taking the very short side of you with their programming shooting.
There's actually an article in, I think it was the Wall Street Journal. There was an article in the Wall Street Journal about Netflix becoming like the enemy of all enemies of network TV. It's basically what it is, despite my current hate. Legends, once again, it was a fun episode.
This one is, you see the spirit of Destiny reality. Good guys are bad guys. Very ancient apocalypse, actually. Does something have a beard?
Yeah, what can I read? What can I read? Yeah, sure. Honestly, I think.
You realize her beard would be like Gabi Riala? Well, her beard was actually Damien Darks. I'm pretty sure she was banging fixing. I'm not hecking.
Oh, no, that's all right. I like that in this reality, the Legion of Dunes headquarters was the Legion of Dunes headquarters. Like the black skull looking thing. All the skull looking thing.
It wasn't a swamp? Yeah, it wasn't a swamp. Grinding, what's pants? Grinding what's pants too?
You know exactly what I'm talking about. Yeah, yeah. But like I love they had like the fucking headquarters. That was so nerd boner.
I was like, oh, the fucking thing. Damn. Mick is the one who betrayed the team. He ends up giving them all back together when some weird subconsciously implanted thing in the Adam's head, Ray Palmer's head, made him build a brain get better gun.
I don't remember the actual quote unquote scientific term that was used, but it was brain get better gun. Do you remember in Checkers Guide to the Galaxy where they have the point of view gun? Yeah, I actually just rewatched that movie like a couple weeks ago. That was never in the books, but I thought it was fucking brilliant.
And I had never ever wanted something to be real more than the point of view gun. Or you could force somebody to see somebody, or someone to see something from your point of view. Oh yeah. Sorry.
Which ends up having like weird character moments with one movie. Good, so, Audition, L. Uh-huh. And Zephoid people rocks.
Yeah, but it's, sing them. Rockwell. There we go. Like I said, it's, it's, it's Audition, L.
and Stan Rockwell. Um, so Mick gets the game together. They're going to go back in time, but they have to find Rip who's stuck in a, what looks like a millennial felt in like piece together model on Ichobard Von's desk. Uh, so we'll see.
He's been trapped for so long in this weird, recurring like loop of him drinking rum and making cakes. And yes, there is a bunch of fog down jokes. So once again, he chugs at the galaxy when he gets stuck in the plane that's never taking off for forever. Oh, that was in the, oh god, what was that?
The third book? The third book. It was a restaurant at the end of the, at the end of the year. It was, song things for all the fish.
But he gets stuck in the airplane where it's controlled by robots and robots are like, well the plane is destroyed. But if we wait long enough, they'll rebuild another society and get us our living flavored cocktail napkin. Yeah, that's right. And I think it's Arthur that's trapped in there.
Yeah. And he has the heart, the ultimate, the same as the ship. It's a particle. Was it named?
Particle? Yeah, with the availability engine. Yeah. And he had to walk off of that and have the ship get bigger again.
There was some joke about it being in his pocket and scratching his sunglasses. Yeah. I was just thinking that someone awesome voiced the whale in that movie and I can't think of what it was. Oh, no, not again.
That's what the betweenest thought. I thought that you got that. Oh, no. Not again.
Ah, fuck. We'll have the directions on it. There's been whole religions based on that single sentence. Yeah, in the books the other has, um.
I'd like the whole logic argument about that. Look at the applefish. If there was no god, this thing wouldn't exist. Oh, I never thought about that.
And god disappears in a pop of logic. Yep. Um, Arrow. Ooh, got it.
Arrow. My note literally says meh rebuilding Oli again. So basically, well we'll see if they can make him better because that's gonna be a matter of opinion. Basically, after being broken down by Prometheus and being basically he goes like I am the monster.
I killed because I wanted to kill. I've been fighting my natural instincts. Um. They finally comes back to the team and they try to stop.
He brings him the Braava to kill the Braava. Braava. Yeah. Braava.
No, Braava. There's no teeth. some weird sausage can coming into fuck it. Is it Bravo?
No, it's Bravo. No, it's Bravo. No, it's Bravo. We paused so we could look it up.
I was wrong in the pronunciation of Bravo. Sorry. It's Bravo. And what was the name of the guy that was there?
The voice of the whale in, because we had to do it while we were paused, was Bill Bailey who has been on black books. Pretty much. He's a consummate, British comedy actor. Oh, yeah.
He's kind of the... I wouldn't say... Yeah, I actually wouldn't say like, in terms of like just influence and career, I would say he's kind of like the Robin Williams of Britain. I just really wouldn't watch him in one of Buzzcocks now.
I just wanted to hear him trying to sing Kylie Minnow's songs and get them to guess which song it is. Oh my god. Yeah, I think it was on that episode. Was that?
No, he wasn't. It was a Neil Fielding episode. No, Fielding, yeah. No, because Neil Fielding is one of the characters.
I'm sorry, I would love him when he's on. He cracks me to hell up. Every time I re-watch the I.T. series, I forget how fucking funny he is.
Especially now the bit where he loses his contact. I'm sorry, then the goth recovery program. From Goth the boss? Yeah, I don't know.
Or Goth the boss. Something like that. I don't know why it cracks me up so far. I like being weird as I've got that in my sweet style.
I'm wearing a shit out of that. Oh, Judy. Bing-bong noise. Computer broken.
He ends up going to date with her because I confuse him, doesn't he? He's trying to ask about Judy and I can't remember which is which one. He's trying to ask about Judy or Julie and he can't remember which is one and one of them's living bongos lady One of them is the really big scary Bagley token Rex from Borgasmo pretty much yet and the other one is you know just this kind of petite cute normal A-for-a-shok this order. Yeah, but she's like no no the fourth floor or whatever.
Yeah I'm gonna go have a lecture on the fourth floor Have you had a broken? She's the one where he gets what is it? He gets the electric underwear that shocks him every time he gets aroused But then he gets aroused by the shocks. It's when the sun takes over Because they're worried about like the HR nightmare of him like this actually is like a Sulting people.
Have you tried turning it off and turning it back on again? So you realize that sleep is the human equivalent to turning it off. Yeah, absolutely Well sleep is now the equivalent of putting your computer on sleep, but yes We're sleeping on your computer is the equivalent of the human sleep One can put it off and turn it back on again So we were talking about anyway, yes, so the brought to mind he brings in the brought to take out Adrian Chase aka from me This is the team stops him. All he is not in green arrow here.
He's like I have to earn it I need to be you know, it's excellent. Remember when he was like broken after Tommy's death And he kind of built rebuild from the vigilante to the hood to the green arrow He has to drop in the tickle with what he didn't do well No, but like you know what I mean like how he had like kind of rebuild from Tommy's death and like oh well I'm like killing anymore and I'm gonna become a symbol of the city again Like you know what I mean, but it's they're really rebuilding all the and the rebuilding all the I'm sorry I just want to get through this thought But Breaking down all which I like but like there to have him go okay. We're gonna rebuild Ollie on what is it season six? Like that's just gonna cheapen his way to redemption don't worry about it's just gonna cheapen his redemption They're got to speed through it on next season I think it's a little bit weird and lazy simply because you know all of us go through points in our life Or we kind of try and rebuild ourselves you don't get long periods like that to sit and reflect and think about it We all just have to keep on fucking the functioning and moving like obviously the next season's big bad It's gonna be the one that makes them go okay.
I have to become green arrow because the green arrow happened because yeah The green arrow has to take on whatever bad guy it's gonna be and he's gonna have to That was Batman Actually, I almost bought dark knight raises three the last group a couple ask for saying I don't my dark powers is three. I think it had different. Oh, that was master race Thank the fucking Lord. I just realized that because I found the trick paper back of last crusade which is burn as a Relow freak miller.
It's all set in which I'm going either of those actually gotten a copy of the dark knight and I GHT and I think we both need to the Paul Denny. Yes. Yeah, it we keep meaning to we got really He was on a Nerdist and it got really real about that I'm saying you and I can talk about reading it over a year and I've got it Yeah, I know really need to well I have other things on my plate to read though, but I wasn't gonna tell you this What what in the but I almost walked out of Barnes and Noble empty head almost First of all spoke the Barnes and Noble Lake mr. Bonds mr.
Narrow Going full parts and no Blake. So is a thing I almost walked out and then one thing that I didn't have any fun Co pops I liked or you would like I'm not allowed to get in more like a new bookcase and that's on the back Where cuz my vacuum died and they didn't have I don't know if it's out yet or not But they didn't have Jim but Morrison do patrol book three. They didn't have I don't want the Morrison to control book three I want the Morrison. I was gonna say sure I'd wait book you know that you I They didn't have anything well now I think it's still in single issues They didn't have Jeff John's flash volume to the Denmark wait volume one which was kind of cool But I've got it all in singles because nerd They wanted an extra $30 to For me to get the slipcase lock and key Yeah, you can get it for $30 more than More Well that I mean for a $60 set of bucks It's gonna be for shipping Reminds me I had to fucking rebuy my Joker mask and my Joker mask I was gonna say death in the family and the family and my quarter vowels limited Yeah, yeah beats pangarones up from Bill right Okay, I kick myself on that one.
Sorry This will cheer you up though. So I almost walked out of Barnes and I want to hand it I almost worked out this will show you up and I'm about to walk out some serious I'm about to walk out and I go Of course you know I'm about to walk out and I go fuck That wants to read a book series. I wonder if that's the first book. What's this like that Sam has a series?
Did you get it? I have it? Did you start reading it yet? No, I almost done with the Honkings of vegetarian which by the way I need to loan you because literally the third the third act of that I'm literally like reading it like my hand over my mouth like it is So visceral and amazing, but it's one of those where I'm like I don't feel good right now emotionally reading this It's like the end of old boy.
You're like you just you viscerally feel wrong and awful But you have to see it to be kind of weird cuz they both stuff Korean isn't it? Yeah, old boy suss Korean, right? Yeah, it's the it's Korean so I have to assume it's South Korean Because yeah, it's not just Kim Jong-un writing pictures Okay Like I said no I'm finally to Well, I don't know if I'm gonna loan you I don't know if I want yeah, I'll tell you about later But like I said no if you got the first book in the Sam and slim series, but she's actually called Sam and slim Yeah, no that was a point of us the covers the covers are super dated, but it's still a really good book And I think you'll really enjoy the run I've got they had book one in book eight and he goes which one do you want? I went book one.
Yeah, they actually I've never been able to know where they had a series that went chronologically I'm not talking about every book, but they always just have weird numbers and they're like one four and eight or something I said every Barnes and I've ever been at has had that problem where they just have different weird numbers in the series And you know I get it you can't carry every book of every series all the time Right, but I just thought it was kind of weird because every Barnes and I will have at least two books, but they're never two chronological So you want to get into it? Yeah, um, I love that the cover the what I've got is I don't know which ones you have and we'll look at Oh, I have all his audio books. Oh, I'll send you a picture of it. It looks they look like hard-boiled pulp novels Which is basically what they are I love it is that they're pulled novels, but they're told from a very Supernatural.
There's a reason why I said it reminded me a lot of strangest kind of yeah Hold on. I'll pull up the cover for you on my audible. Okay. Um, I'm letting me try to I've been needing to buy it for you for a while.
I just hadn't gotten a while. Let's yeah Well, why do you do that? Um, so Arrow that was I guess we're gonna put cap on arrow I can't buy it. Um, oh, not that sorry.
So Legion finale Shady's talking No, so you have the older version which I could add other books that yeah He probably got the ones would have covered some kind of like that. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah Like I said, that's the older series of covers they started to do a series of the fact that they look like old pulp or great Grand House movie basically look like don't they look like dumb shoe. Yeah, yeah, I'm back novels Like what's what were the the national helmet novels?
Well, I didn't say like the novels that they find it like kiss kiss Bing Johnny Gossamer series. There we go. It's the same thing. Those are the dash Little helmet novels.
Yeah, you know the thin man and the multi-spanking. Yeah, but I love the covers You're going to love them. Like I said, there's a whole thing at some point where he ends up You know, it's later on the series. I won't ruin it.
Okay, but him and technology not great. You love it. I Like that. No, no, it's how the March of Time makes a certain thing He's doing obsolete and he can't figure out how to try and make money off of it And it's hilarious trying to make money off of it.
I like that too. Um, Legion finale. We're gonna get a couple finales here. Um, I I'm glad I still wondering the squirrel girl.
I'm not gonna say a lot about it because I think you need to see it I got once the valley popped online and we went and got the entire first season because I'm all right Knowing all the weird like okay. This is what real. This isn't what's real because now I know just some small extent Um, I thought it was a fairly pedestrian finale Bank I gets away in a second. Yeah, okay It's yes.
Well. She Can get away and someone else's body. I'm not gonna say who's but it is emotional It was a nice showdown between the two. And I was like, okay, well that's okay.
He kind of gets away and one character is like, well what happened to this other person? They're like, ooh. And then the post credit happens. And the post credit scene is bonkers.
In the best way, you really possible, you're like, what the fuck? Not even just in a legion way. Like what the fuck in terms of reality and memory and what does it mean and what do we perceive. It's just like, oh, that happened.
It's literally unparred with, this is all a phrase. I was writing a comic and I was making a bunch of loose notes in a notebook. And I had to, when we were preparing for a personal plan, well, not here. I love loose notes because I get through there and I make up my own story about what your random ass shit says.
So I was writing this comic book script and I had to stop the middle and go do something at work. And when I got back, I realized that my friend Andrew Warner had written, and then there was a chicken. In the notebook? Yeah, and there was this whole gag where everything was going to be an alternate ending which involved in there was a chicken.
This is the, and then there was a chicken moment where you're just like, wait, what? Which is funny. And I'm trying to find your hands. They obviously know like, what did they have to have a roadmap for season two to do what they did for the post-scared episode.
It's some kind of vague idea or flow chart or process for the second season. And I feel like it's actually already been renewed. Oh yeah, it got renewed. Really on.
Yeah, like three episodes in I think. Yeah, something like that. But, Deb, you gotta, you gotta, you gotta, you gotta, you gotta. The first season's done, it sounds great.
The funny thing is, and then there was a chicken, I mean something completely different for you. Because there used to be this random medieval practice of setting chickens on fire and throwing over the walls to places because the chickens would run around setting everything on fire. Yeah, it's like when they send a, you light a round fire through the wall and go. It's the same idea.
Yeah. I can remember what they called that again. Something horrible. Probably.
That's the fire equivalent of a playground. You know, the fire equivalent, I'd love to see some of these like artistic rendering of quote, the fire equivalent of playgrounds. A playground. Speaking of season, I'll let you.
Was it gonna make a funky one, Jake? Did you still want to? No, it's fine. Speaking of season finales, we got two more to get through.
Yes. I finally finished Iron Fist. Oh God, it was like a punishment. I liked it.
I didn't love it. I liked it. I thought it went a little too long we talked about. That's what I said over going to talk about that I thought it could have gone for 10, 10 versus 13.
I'd say 10 versus 13. I totally want more. Okay, the characters they interest near the end are so much more interesting. Like, Dovros.
It's because nobody gives a fuck about the lead, okay? The thing about like, we all care about Daredevil, but man, great supporting cast. Yeah, we all loved Voggy. I read that this, Iron Fist didn't have the comedic sidekick.
They didn't have certain tropes that- Anything with him and Hobart was great. I said this, like, last couple weeks, great, then he ran Bad Iron Fist. Anything with him and Hobart was great. A lot of stuff with him and Claire was also really interesting.
A lot of fun. I think they leaned on her a little too hard. Yes, I do. I think they're gonna have to go to the defenders because you're gonna have that moment where they're all go, oh, you know Claire.
There's gonna be that moment. Well, and she's mentioned that to him. Casual League. Casual League, but she doesn't say anything about truly Daredevil, Luke Cage or Jessica Jones.
No, she doesn't. But he's also one of those things where he's like, I loved Klee. I would absolutely watch Daugther the Dragon. We talked about that.
I would love to see her own spin-off series. They want to talk- They want to talk- They're talking heroes for hire daughters of the Dragon with her and Misty Knight. If you're a lot more interesting, then Puck and Iron Fist. Well, I think having Iron Fist surrounded by Luke Cage, Misty Knight and Colleen Wing might elevate him.
The character, not the series. He's gonna be the Aquaman. Yeah, he's saying that. They're gearing up for him to be like the Wolverine of the DC.
I get that. I'm talking about old ass Aquaman. Are you kidding me? I have a giant bone-off for Jason Minnellis Aquaman.
Dude, I don't even tag everybody for the shirt. I do want to bring up a note I wrote. Okay. About how Iron Fist serves.
But before I get to that, because I do want to wrap up on Iron Fist on the note, I do want to say, you know, I like it. I know. It was a love- No, hold on. I hate this.
That they had the Kung Fu fight in the Rain cliche. Like, goddamn it. God fucking damn it. I get it.
The problem is that they've had a lot of cliche fights in previous Marvel Netflix, but they've never felt cliche. This felt cliche. It felt like an homage. Like, when you have all the- well, in Luke Cage with all the Black Spotation stuff, it worked.
But I mean, even in Daredevil, when they're working on kind of piecing together the costume for him, that was very- Especially when he finally actually got the costume on. But when he's fighting- It didn't feel like an homage. When he's fighting the Russians in the rain? I'm sorry.
You know, and like, you have- like, the rain coming down and it's like drawing the blood out of his mouth? You remember that scene? In the first couple episodes? Like, it was like, hey, you're like, oh shit, like, he's getting hurt.
This is real. You know, there's that air of realism. They had those scenes. They didn't feel stale.
No, they didn't. And in this one, it was like- It felt very forced. Yeah, well, I felt they went, well, you know what they do? They didn't come through because they fight in the rain.
Like, let's do that. And maybe if the Kung Fu was better, it wouldn't have felt so fucking awful. Oh, God, the fight is terrible. Did you like that I texted you that?
Out of my sure disappointment? In terms of aspects of Iron Fist that I am now on my way- That actually cracked me the fuck up. So, I will say this. You want me to read the text message?
No, I've decided that I'm going to be the next Iron Fist. And I don't mean like, I'm going to try to get that guy's acting job. I mean, like, I'm actually going to try. Remember when I said I didn't, like, a chore of anything?
Hold on. I decided that due to deciding opinion, sorry, declining opinions, I'm going to be the next Iron Fist. Next test message I practiced at work. I did.
You know when you have the bar, like where the drop bridge is? And it's like the whole space? So I started like crawling- Yes. Yeah, the past.
I got my just my feet. And then decided to try to spin and punch and almost face-pung it into a wall. I thought I was awesome. So people saw that?
Coworkers did. Did they laugh? Hold on. While screaming, not like, loudly.
But like, no, it was out loud. Like, Spider Monkey Roundhouse Punch. I did- Super Monkey Death Cargo. I did- was it Rising Pillar Thunder Kick?
Diving Eagle? Just, you know, Rising Pillar Thunder Kick sounds like what you do when you have a boner coming on. Diving Eagle grab? Like, oh, I got a slew of them.
And I once- and I could then get my- when my coworkers was like, very late to tell you, like, not to do this in public. And I'm like, look, I'm really over your beating beetle style? Look. I don't think I'm gonna do my hamster style.
But I started like doing like the whole like, rake the like, garden of sand into the like, I started doing like all of his stuff. I have a coworker of mine that, uh, whenever he's bored, he goes into like, resting video game mode. Hold on. What does that mean?
Oh, yeah. Where they're just like standing there. They're standing there. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hands up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got you. Oh, yeah, no.
So I'm gonna do the next Iron Fist. I'm fine with that. Although, does it- does it- does it- what's your name have the- the colon for you? What?
I sent you all the Twitter's about how we're gonna hate it on Iron Fist. Hold on. Great. Well, while you're looking that up- No, let me look back for a text message.
I'll just take a minute. I'll take the text a lot. Um, well, I don't want a lot of dead air on this. So I will say, uh, I did make this notes.
And then when- by the time I'm done reading this, uh, Iron Fist is like a one night stand. Easier wind drunk? Gail sim. Oh, gail simon, gail simon, gail simon.
Okay, go ahead. Iron Fist is like a one night stand. Easier wind drunk? Better?
You don't remember it. A good idea at the time. And can lead to better decisions later on. You know what?
That is an excellent description of Iron Fist. That's why I made that note. I think maybe you should tweet that. Um, um, not- It's made it at- Finally for finales.
Uh, the Walking Dead finale. Ooh. Fucking rad. I'm so glad that you didn't clip the cameras again.
Uh, no. So basically you see kind of the first shots ring out in the war between, um, the saviors and pretty much everyone else. I'm gonna say it right. Chat fired.
Okay. Chat's fired. Between Nigg and everyone else. Uh, there were some twists and turns.
I'm not gonna do a huge amount of spoilers, but I will say there were a few things I didn't see coming. Um, but I am- I'm- I like that- we don't see like the war in one episode. Um, you know what I mean? Like they're not like- They're not down there.
It's not- it's like okay, here's the beginning of it. And you see like the start of it coming up against Nigg and, you know, Nigg and it's- It has to retreat. I guess there will be some spoilers. Um, Nigg and it has to fall back.
Because- oh, I don't know. Oh, fucking tiger shows up. Um, at which one he does what he said. God damn, tiger and you're like what?
And you see Nigg and talking to the savers going, we're going to war and you see Ezekiel Rick and Maggie who now runs hilltop, um, talking to like everyone there and going like, this is it. Like we're gonna get up from under this. So they both talk in war on each side. Um, my only issue with it is that going into the next season, I hope they don't pull the fables and by that you and I've talked about it, they don't start planning the war in real time, which I- they won't.
There's no fucking way. They're gonna jump ahead and whatever time to a certain amount I would imagine. Um, but the next season is basically gonna be like, what is the thing- what was it, the war of the rings was? That was fine.
Sure, great. How many armies are where it's gonna be the walking- or it's gonna be that equivalent, um, where it's just gonna be all up fucking warfare and it's gonna be awesome and the trees don't fucking walk. What are you talking about? What's that from?
Gatorance. Archer. Archer, right. Yeah, so where he runs off with his gay lover.
Remember, there was basically his equivalent that he trained with and then he quit to go work with him. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, and it was always like not Johnny. Yeah, but some- some of the- some of the elephant. What's gonna say, something that you know, it's gonna say they have what I was gonna say, Lana go after him and they- that was gonna say they were to screw her, it's like spray and break, she always overshoots, it's our- always overshoots and never hits the target.
Right. And you have zero running around and it's underwear trying to build your review. Right. Um, let's come back next week by the way.
Whoo! Yeah, we got that. We got eyes on, becomes back. I'm so excited for eyes on.
This week. I don't know, I actually just put up a great article about the best brains that she eaten. And I wanna say number three was Crumpy Old Lift. Oh yeah, Clyde, if you're one of the good ones.
Um. One of the good ones, Clyde. Yeah, eyes on, becomes back. We've got Archer and I think about a week and then near at the end of the month, Dr.
Who comes back for all these last seasons. Excuse me. So I'm psyched for all this stuff. On the other side of finales.
We have season premiere. Yeah, we do. That surprise season premiere though, less. On April Fool's, everyone's like, oh no.
And it was, oh yeah. Fucking Rick and Motherfucking Morty. Well, that pants in a panty. Stakeshish.
No, the new one is just- he's lying, he's just by blowing up and going to take a shit. Oh, sorry, sorry. Um, the season premiere of Rick and Morty. I'm from E.
Awesome. Loved it. They wrapped up the whole prison thing like pretty much in one episode. They wrapped up the prison thing.
They wrapped up the galactic government taking over Earth. Sorry. I just get to think it's a cat. Yeah, it's just my foot.
I'm trying to play footsy with your shoes. You have a cat foot. They wrap up the him being in jail. They wrap up the galactic government coming after him.
I think it's gonna become a war. Once again, I think it's gonna be- So they decimate the citadel of all of the other rakes in the council of race. Yep. They bring back- Quite a few more of these.
Spoilers, they bring back Bert Person. That's Phoenix Person. I do like that she's still into him. You think that's why?
I got it, that's why. She brought him back? Yeah, absolutely. I think it's absolutely what she brought him back because she's still into him.
I can't think of that character's name. When it's some of her friends that end up marrying Bert Person. Yeah, it's Carrie. It's like Karen or Carrie or something.
Well, Carrie, I want to say green water, Walgreen is the voice of the actress. Probably green water. She was on heroes. But anyway- They also did something kind of major with Morty's family.
Yeah, they got rid of Jerry. Of course, I know. Well, I don't think they got rid of him. Well, they finally, you know- Rick says- Rick at one point says I replaced both- I became the patriarchy in both the family and the universe by destroying the- whatever the veneration government.
Yeah, the government and your father. But it's the whole thing when the mom comes in at the end. She's like, I've got to go talk to him before he does a move out. Yeah, so I mean, I don't think Chris pronounced left- Oh, I don't think he's going on.
But I mean, they've been dancing around that for three seasons now. I just think they've been sitting together as a couple. But then they say, like, on that episode, they go, like, what are we going to keep sacrificing to Rick? Like, what do we have left to lose?
And they go, only each other. And she's like, I'll never let you go. And then Rick comes in. She's like, please don't leave me again.
Yeah, I mean- I actually find it interesting that Summer's kind of taking up the same role that she did. Of course, she's just desperate to have Rick back. She doesn't want to do a bandage. Yeah, I think she's more- I think she's more aware of how Rick is.
I mean, especially after Morty says, here's the Cronenberg universe. Right away from back to the Cronenberg universe. Well, that's his- that's Rick's world. Morty.
Yeah, you're right. That- yeah, you're right. Yeah, you're right. That- that- that- that- that Morty's world- that Rick's world- that Rick's world- that.
Yeah. I also like the fact that he's the most Rick of the ricks. Well, and like, even though, like, Rick had the fake memory construct, which fooled the Nathan-Fillion bug, because I don't want to gloss over that Nathan-Fillion was on this episode. Awesome.
Obviously, like, that- that was a character moment that I think was more genuine than Rick wanted to admit. Okay. Because something had to have turned him from, like, what you see like the baseline Rick, where he's like, I swear, blue pants. Like, like, every Rick, like, I think, started out as a blue pants Rick and turns into a brown pants Rick.
So, how much of that story do you think is true with the construct with him, you know, wanting to go and just, you know, be the family man and then getting murdered by the council of Rick's and then turning him into somebody who actually- I think that's probably more common across all the different ricks. Yeah. I think that might be- Assuming that, like, the mom's not already dead. I mean, the ones that were- Do you know anything about her?
No. You know, she likes ice cream. I mean, now she's going on in a parently gorgeous. Yep.
And they all like the Szechuan sauce for the- Oh, like, the long promotion for McDonald's, which started a change.org petition that's already gotten over 8,000 signatures, by the way, one of a mine. Because I wasn't working with Donald's when that happened, and I don't know what that tastes like. I was there for the Hercules Burger. That I was there for.
What was the Hercules Burger? Oh, it was a Sega trouble cheeseburger. It was fucking awesome. Okay, then.
I think the last time I was at it, Denny's a lot of years ago, they were having some kind of weird promotion, Italian, with the incredible Hulk. Okay. So I had all of these giant meals that were like Hulk- Hulk- Yeah. Hulk- Cakes, that's like, a little bit.
It's like a thousand 8-day pancakes, yeah. So I re-watched all of Bojack Horseman. Again? Yeah.
Yeah. That series is still incredibly funny and such a kick in the dick at the same time. That underwater episode from the last season still haunts me. I realized something.
I did not realize in season 2. There's an episode where he's talking to his then girlfriend who is the Owl Voice by the way. And there's a photo in the, well, did you want to know what was in the coma? Yes.
So I was going to say there's a painting in the background that I didn't realize is the exact painting of what happens at the end of season 3. It's the wild horses that are topless with the pants on running on the prairie. Like there's a painting of that behind her head in that scene. I was going to say in that scene and I wonder if they did that on purpose or somebody's like, hey, you know what would be awesome?
I was going to a writers panel with the guy who created it and the other character designer, who they've mentioned in the funny years. And it seems like there's kind of, a lot of it is a very happy accent. Like, yeah, there's a road map, but... Is that how Princess Carolyn ended up becoming an, you know, some same manager instead of an agent?
I think they knew they wanted to like move her along but they didn't know how and then through the running process of each season, they went, oh, that's how we're going to do it. Like there's a really good episode where he ends up firing her and then the restaurant at the end of the year burns down and she ends up making risotto and he still ends up firing her. Yeah. Which is actually a really good episode.
And I really like that fact. A little bit higher than one guy like do all the jobs. Yeah, he's the waiter. They end up lighting him on fire and pressing this poor woman into service that was actually just a guest there to be the waitress.
Yeah. What was the website? But it's one of those where he actually gets a background, Princess Carolyn, about how her mom was an alcoholic maid that never did anything and so she ended up having to pick up all the slack for her mom. Yeah.
So that's how she knows how to deal with everything and very childish. And then when she realizes that I do everything and I still got fired, what does that mean? But I still like the episode where Mr. Peanut Butter and, uh, call her because they got scumpt.
Yeah. She has to come over and deal with it. But it's one of those episodes where you basically see it. She's kind of already apparent and that's why she's fine with being alone.
Found being alone? Yeah, the end of season two is when she's like, I'm not afraid of being alone. Oh, that's right. The whole season three, she doesn't end up dating somebody and having kind of a serious relationship.
Yeah. Um, it's still in? Sure. She's part of the Stilton Hotel group.
I don't remember his first name. And she ends up choosing herself once again, which I think is an interesting choice and very real because there's a lot of people that will choose themselves over choosing a relationship. Well, again, in terms of like confidence to go, okay, I know I can deal with. Yeah, exactly.
We've got a lot about that on Dan. I mean, when she gets rid of, what's the round? Oh, um, Ben Schwartzman? Yeah, Ben Schwartzman.
