I wish I would have done the... Well, then, I'll just flop. I'm a gentleman sitting next to me that just used white power in context, is doubt. Blue.
It was in context. It was in context of the white power... I'm not going to get a lot of everyone to say. That's horrible.
That's even worse. The white designation for power is on hero clicks. What's the same hero click? That was not iron-patriot.
It's a mechanized patriot from the Bioshock Infinite Expansion, Merica! So, on the note of hero clicks, two interesting things have happened since I started getting hero clicks as presence. One, I've been trying to go to the comic book store all in a dream for what, like two months now? I was like three weeks, but iron.
No, no, it's been a while. I've made like seven attempts to go to this effing comic book store. I took your advice. I asked him...
I never said it. Like I said, I took your advice. I asked your friend to do a drive-by on the comic book day. What's that?
Place was fucking closed. Really? I think honestly the man just doesn't open anymore. He's been open for 30 years, he has his fucking comics, and he's got his fucking collectables, and he's fucking happy, and he doesn't feel like opening that fucking shop anymore.
I've met the guy. I don't think happy comes into it, but okay. I'm fucking fine with that. You're the crusty bastard.
Like I said, I'm fine with that. You got your shit, you want to hold up in your house, that's not a big deal. It pisses me off that he just puts clothes down the door instead of clothes forever. Does that make sense?
Because it's become part of my Monday ritual. I'm not going to do it anymore, because if he's not open on your comic book day, then he's just not fucking open. Yeah, really. I would walk up, I would check and see if he was open, and then I would walk over to the wizard's chest to get you hero clicks.
And what do you think of now when you say wizard's chest thinks? You put the worst image in the entire world in my head. The wizard's chest. Here's the other weird thing about the wizard's chest.
And we've talked about this before where I got missed by the 16 year old kid at the counter. So I go into there pretty much every Monday, although I think I went there last Friday. Because I had a weird, yeah, I know I'd work last Monday, so I went there last Friday. I go in there and get your hero clicks, because they're one of the places I put in the hot topic that has hero clicks.
Well, they have more expansions. Exactly. Like I said, I was really sick of getting you made of steel or bio-shock. So I looked it up and all into dreaming and wizard's chest were the easiest place to get a hero clicks.
Since they've now seen me more than three times, even though I tell them I'm not buying a hero clicks for me, they keep trying to absorb me. I love that. When we do things, when we do things get dicey, I'd love to have you along. I don't play.
For a game. Doug, I think- Nerf poker had a guest person at Dave Anson. I get bored after like 20 minutes. No, you wouldn't.
I guarantee you wouldn't. Oh, I do. With your own scene. Fuck it.
I'll give you Scarlett Johansson. I'm Scarlett Johansson. Crimson Dynamo. That's not even the character's name.
Black Widow. What is it? Black Widow. Now we're just Nerf vomiting.
It's not Scott Johansson. Black Widow or Crimson Dynamo who's Iron Man villain. Thank you Crimson Tycoon. Fuckin' seriously.
That's what I'm calling my period. Sharkey. No, I call it the Crimson. I call it Crimson.
Crimson Dynamo. Either way. Wow, you would be the worst girl ever. Not just because of your family appearances.
Not just because of the- Yeah, I did- Not just because of your excessive body hair. That wouldn't make me the worst girl ever. No, it's actually really funny right now is that since you have- Who doesn't want a girl back here? Since you have the hat on right now, you look like- I look a good dick.
I was now this standard Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle in a Sky's outfit. Do you not remember that from the comic? Did they wear hat? No, they wore a hat and then they wore a pea coat.
No, they wore a trench coat like Ben Grimm. Like I said, like an unidentified sailor. Damn! Remember that when Raphael yelled that it was like a big fucking dubs like Curse on a Ninja Turtle movie?
I'm gonna totally watch the first Ninja Turtle movie. I'll bet you that holds up. I'll bet you the first one holds up. Okay, here's the thing is that I still love all three of the Ninja Turtles.
Fuck you, you are number three. Dude, where's the show? Turtles in time? Fuck you.
Where's the show? Fuck you. Fuck you. I'm glad Elias Cateus was getting work, but fuck you.
I didn't say it was a good movie. I'm saying I'd watch it again. Oh, but I guarantee you doesn't hold up. I'm guaranteed.
So, after we stop and we're vomiting. Love it or shove it. Love it or shove it. Shove it.
Shove it. Let's actually get to the whiteboard. I want to start out with the fact that I have created something that I referred to as FrankenTV. Yes.
FrankenTV. Say, I pay to have a mobile hotspot on my phone. If I turn on said mobile hotspot, I can link it to my laptop, which is tied into my TV. So, Deborah finally has actual regular entertainment again.
So, I've been catching up on all of my shows. What is funny about this is the fact that my network name is maybe an ASCII game. Maybe a what? An ASCII dick.
You know, a letter A and then some equal signs and then a D. Oh, what? Yeah, no, my dong is a network name for me. My neighbor does not seem to appreciate this.
And when I say my neighbor, I have no idea which one of my many neighbors in the apartment building it is. But they changed their network name to, quote, real mature. You're being trolled on network names. Do you realize that's the next level?
Like I said, I thought it was hilarious. The right hand-crack name was dog. I also thought it was hilarious that they responded to it. You were getting trolled on network names.
However, here's the thing is that our non-turn recommended to me that I should change my network name to a dog jizzing. Because I can do this quickly. Yeah, that's a little twinkle. After the D.
Should that be my response? Yeah, or just like taking a fart joke. You can just own it. Well, here's the thing I was saying before this, my network was called Hide Your Kids Hide Your Wi-Fi, which I also thought was hilarious.
You didn't take my network name? What was your name? My Wi-Fi. It's not as funny if you don't say it with the accents.
That's true. But yes, now I have FrankenTV, so like I said, if I turn on my Mughal hot spot and I rest it on my TV rack, it talks to my laptop, which is sitting next to my TV. Therefore, I can watch my Hulu. You're almost here.
It's like a weird, we'll take a picture of it maybe later. But it's like you have the weird like, horturbat cave vibe going on. It's actually kind of a sort of bat cave. What's extra funny about that?
I don't have the audio cable from my laptop to my TV, so when we watch TV, the sound is actually just coming from my laptop. Yeah. Which is really funny. Really, really funny.
And on another note, I did something bad. I accidentally waited to send my Xbox in too long and the warranty's up. So the Xbox is now a worthless PC technology. Well, it's worth it acknowledging the Xbox One came out, but okay.
That's exactly what I was going to say. Xbox One is come out, so I'm just going to throw out my Xbox One. It comes with connect, doesn't it? I have the connect and I have the extra controller.
The Xbox One comes with a connect. No idea. But I have the connect and I have the controller, so I'm just going to ask my gentleman to get me an Xbox for basically freezies from the Panchal he works at, and we're going to go from there. You're going for a 360?
You're going to do a Xbox One. What? I bought it in Xbox One. I don't Xbox One.
If you remember correctly, the only reason I even Xbox 360 is because I use it to work out. Because they're talking future, Ram is going to be possibly picked up by Microsoft to do Xbox exclusive. Yeah, that would still be at least a year wait. And therefore I give you the Xbox One for much cheaper.
Okay. I'm just saying. Yeah, I don't know. I actually do have a whiteboard this week.
I want to start with, you know, it was our faces. Okay. Something terrible happened last Saturday. Doug?
No, I don't know the date and ring. I don't think it's outright. It was last Saturday. Was it last Saturday?
Yeah, because you called me all that was in the middle of work during the Avalanche. Yeah. And I said, Doug, I'm busy and it worked during an Avalanche game. And I talked to you in this voice in that time.
And hung up on you. That's what you showed. Because that's something terrible happened last Saturday. That's a part of the request.
Yeah, I got a little, yeah. So I posted our picture of us being transfixed by App Midnight. Which I like because it basically looks like we're melting into the couch, which is literally kind of what happens when we're watching it at midnight. Absolutely.
Like can't be bothered to move. And, excuse me, I would edit that sound, but it's not damn. Why did you edit a burp out? No.
Burkin Red Bull. I hashtag Burkin Red Bull. Sorry, go ahead. I like that I scuffed at that.
That's tough. It's so much better than actually scoffing. It's tough. It's like the same felt like that's so funny and she doesn't laugh.
She says that's so funny. That's rubs, but still. No, it's silly simple. It's me anymore and scrubbeds.
Never lash. Talk to you right, it is gross. How we get kids? Like having a dog that slowly learns how to talk.
Completely accurate, by the way. So we post this picture and we, I believe we tagged out midnight. We tagged out midnight. Yeah.
We decided to favorite the tweet. You're a resident. Nightmare mascot. Beow the pelican.
Who I've been showing pictures of to customers for like last week. I'm like look, this thing likes us. Holy shit. What's bad about this is that he favorited us because of a picture of ourselves.
Fuck you. It's no other faces. We're fucking fucked up. It's like, it's like, when, uh, for apocalypse reference, it's like, uh, it's like in Hellboy, but it's like no one can deem his name or he gives you power over that demon.
Like, it knows our faces. That's actually not just in Hellboy. Yes, yes, yes. We are over a lot of demon.
Yes, mythology. But my point is that it knows our faces. Like we cannot hide from it. Shit.
Favorite us. The mascot of nightmares. The just the, if, if, if we were hobbits, Pierre would be the Eye of Suran always seeing us when we put on the Ring of Twitter. Like, yeah.
And that was a nerd joke on many levels. Uh, levels even as opposed to labels. Labels. Labels.
Another note I have on my whiteboard is at midnight. Fuck yeah, motherfucker. At midnight, I picked up for 40 more episodes. Yes, absolutely.
Kind of a, a better suite. Well, it's bittersweet in that we have to wait till January 6th to get more episodes. I was going a different way on that one, but okay. Oh, you want to talk about that really hard though?
I did, I did on dam and that'll be up in a couple weeks. Or as I say on dam, I tell my recording. Uh, that dam I think will go up a week later. Um, yeah, that, um, literally he got picked up for 40 episodes.
Um, and then less than a week, less than a week. It was like three days later. So you found out on Thursday. That was actually me.
And then he got out on Wednesday. He told everyone on Thursday and his father passed away on that Saturday. Um, and then, uh, man, then, uh, got, talk about it. And, and, and, uh, I don't know if it's in a good way or a bad way, but talk about it work a holo that he shows up on, on set for Talking Dead.
He was actually very professional. You can tell there was something that's obviously not his normal congenial, happy, funny self, but I mean, he hosted a good episode. He asked the right questions, but literally the consummate professional. And I love, I love the fact that we record this on Saturdays and then we have Walking Dead on, um, Walking Dead on Sundays because it's very much like these, it's very much like shooting the gap, um, where they make their picks for the week.
Um, and I recall out like what's going to happen on Walking Dead in the next day. I'm like, how close were we? I'm having an interesting thing happening with me on Walking Dead because we've had late football games for this week and then again tomorrow. So what happens is that I have to play the football game at work and so I don't get to watch Walking Dead until the second replay at 10.30.
Oh, and then you get to watch Comic Game. I always watch Comic Game. As well as well as you should. What's happening is the football game doesn't end until like 10.10.
Like if it's at 6.30 game, it takes for freaking ever. It took three hours. For the football game to end. So you don't watch the original broadcast.
From what I did, I did some sports. And like I said, you don't watch the original broadcast and we actually don't only play the original broadcast. Oh, Walking Dead. Yeah, like I said, we watch 30, just going to say we play a replay at 9 o'clock.
But if the football game's still on, we have to wait until like 10.30 for the second replay. Do they do a second replay? They do. Oh, wow.
Well, honey, I mean, it makes sense. Well, they have no programming, I mean, Breaking Bad is done. And that's not, I believe, is on hiatus, so. This actually brings us to an excellent next topic.
AMC is ordered a pilot. Let's talk about, oh, God. Okay, so I got really excited and I know that you're. I am extremely skeptical because of the.
You're what? Skeptible. Skeptible. Are you bringing a skeptical back?
No, I'm bringing a skeptical back. Smell like a. I'm extremely skeptical. Yes, I'm going to say skeptical.
Merger. Anyway. Because of the writing team they've hired and because of their previous work. And I want to say this right at the back.
Nope. I want to say this right at the back. It's not a spoiler alert. It's a.
Fact. No, it's no puns intended alert. AMC has ordered a pilot for Preacher, which if you don't listen to the show and you don't know me personally, Preacher is one of those books, comic books that's very close to my heart. I was talking to you.
And I'm either with you. I fucking adore Preacher. I was selling a friend yesterday where in the course of my collegiate career I wrote the same term paper three times, which was a defense of comics as literature. And one of the books I would always use was Preacher.
Okay, so two things I'd like to discuss. One, they've tried this before. This has been this has tried to be close to New God was HBO and they did I believe make up tests with Earth's face and Samuel Jackson as I want to say Samuel Jackson as the Santa Barbara killers, but I don't know if that's right. Well, I guess that they've tried to do this before and didn't go.
AMC, if you're listening, I think it I think it best. I think it's best. No, I'm going to check. I think it's best in the house of my father.
Because they're British people and they're with me and they're with me. Bum, bum, bum. Thanks, you came to Stoney. Anyways, continue.
I think it best that if you attacked, we're going, oh, we're going, stop. Yeah. Stop. Continue.
Sorry, go ahead. Listen to the electric six last night actually while we're closing. I threw on fire. I went to this door with people.
Oh, yeah. Okay, we're going to do this episode if you don't focus. I'll see the entire album, but I'll see Preacher HBO. I honestly think the best way to attack Preacher, and we'll give the writing in a second, but I think the best way to pace it would honestly be what I believe I want to say is it's the don't shit on me internet.
It was the director of Ghostwriter, who lives in Mark Stevenson. That's really not a good way to go if you want this to be a good fucking show. But he's the one that is true. But he's the one that held the HBO push and he was talking an issue, an episode.
I think it makes sense. And funny thing is there's only one good part of Ghostwriter and oddly enough, and it goes in as the overweight guy. His head was all. He was a little bit wills on him.
He was an edgy look, but he totally pulled it off. We're not going to get off on Ghostwriter. Sorry, go ahead. Listen, we got Rigo and Unverbal on how much I didn't like Ghostwriter to.
I'm sorry, I think I got to tell you Ghostwriter to. Electric Hellfire Loop. So, for pacing, I think that's the best way to do it. I don't think you can tackle it in a loose, like, you know, I don't think you can honestly say, okay, well, this, the collections of Trippetrbacks are going to be like, you know, a book one in season one.
I think that's a little too much wiggle room. I honestly think, and with Preacher, like I said, no pun intended, it's sacred. You need to be beholden to the source material. I mean, it, it, okay, you say that, and then I want you to reveal the writing team.
I've hired to make this masterpiece. Don't say masterpiece, but ceaselessly. It is going to be apparent held by Seth Rogan and Evan Goldberg, the writing team behind. Green Hornet.
I'm supposed to say super bad, and this is the end, but yes, Green Hornet as well. But I think that there is one good moment in Green Hornet. One. No, when Seth Rogan is making fun of him for crying.
Well, yeah, well, cry, baby. And then leaves her in it and then comes back again to make fun of him for crying more. That is the- That hammer is my penis. Two print a good superhero movie into something they're totally gonna fuck up.
I don't think they're gonna fuck a preacher. I think- I think they're gonna fuck that. The Internet would eat him alive if he fucks a preacher, and I think he knows that. I'm fucking a Green Hornet!
The Green Hornet is not Preacher. Just because it is something that is close to both of us doesn't mean they're going to treat it with the same reference that we would treat it with. No, I think anyone's Red Reacher understands the reverence. What else do you think, though?
Alright, well, before I get angry, it's really much more about the terrible, terrible fucking- I also defend, you know, Batflex, so I'm sorry, Bruce Wing. Like I said, the terrible, terrible writing team, they've hired you to destroy the return. Well, they're not a terrible writing team. I mean- Anyways.
They're- they're two for three on movies, so fuck off. They should be trusted with super de-risk. Something original, yes. Something with meaning and backstory?
No. The- My issue is how they're gonna tackle- not the violence, but how they can tackle the language. Because the F bomb has dropped a lot in Preacher. I know you can go with- They should just go out deadwood on it.
That's HBO. And you can get away with it. I believe the rule- if I may be so glib in terms of- The cable companies get to decide how much language they want to actually use. It's a matter of how much advertising you can still get with the content.
But based on Breaking Bad, you can get away with- I think that's like three shits in a fuck. So- Because there's- I'm not going to touch you- sounds like what you pay for on some hotels. Three shits in a fuck. It's like the- what is it?
The- what's that movie where they hire across the two? That'd be- That'd be- I'm not going to drink like half of my bad- You get up so much. What's the movie where they hire the prostitute to pee on him? It's a male prostitute.
And it's the guy from Fantastic Four with the fuck movies. I have no idea, but now I don't want to watch it ever. Moving on from that, you want to do Dreamcasting for Preacher? I did want to do Dreamcasting for Preacher.
I know, but you mean Red Bull until it's me. Give it to me. Give it to me, Doug. Yo, give it to me, bitch.
Sorry, go ahead. Vyup. Why is there a fingernail print in this- do you have like lady claws? No, I don't.
I have normal man claws. So is this not yours? It's not yours. My arm, your arm.
Oh, look. Oh, look. Dreamcasting, Preacher. I will go character by character- what the fuck are you?
Hashtag Magic Red Bull. What the fuck are you doing? For asking you? Okay.
I want to go character by character and get your opinion on this as well. And this is Dreamcasting. I haven't thought about the Great Deal, so you're probably going to have to have a real quick than me. I'm standing- Jesse Coster.
Okay, go ahead. What's that Brittany Murphy is dead because she would have been great? Oh, she would have been great. Thank you.
Yeah, no. By the way, I don't know if you've been reading the news. They may assume her body because they think her husband may be poisoned. Yeah.
Yeah, but it's not. She would have been great to live in. Absolutely. Jesse Coster.
I want to say- what's this fucking name? He was on 30 Rock and X-Men. I want to say James Markser is what I know that's like James Madison. No, exactly what you're talking about.
I think it's- James- Is it Mason? No. It's Mad Center, Markson, or something. Yes, I know exactly what you're talking about.
I can totally say that. I'd like to see him as Jesse Coster. The thing that's he hasn't done a lot of edgy roles. Once again, this- It might be opportunity more than anything else.
But like I said, a lot of the stuff he's done has been pretty safe and polished. And you know, I can argue out of that and say he's not the Jesse Coster build. You know what, you, Jack, and it wasn't Wolverine's build and it worked. Yeah, because Wolverine should have been hated dancing.
He could get the time for touring or he would have been and never would have fucking failed. Yeah. Yeah. How do you say James even Spanish?
Did they erro? The mayor row. So I want to see James- whatever his fucking name is. I want to see Cyclops as Jesse Coster.
Or Chris Cross if you watch 30 Rock. Jump. Jump. Well, make you jump.
I'm not okay. I'm gonna hold up until for a second. Dream casting. Colin Farrell as Cassidy.
Who else? I can see you want to Colin Farrell as Cassidy. I feel like David Tenet would be better. Ooh.
Yeah, I feel like- I know he'd never do it. I don't know if he'd never do it. But I feel like David Tenet would be better. No, like- oh god, David Tenet is Cassidy's good.
Yeah, I know. That's really good. Yeah. Um, Tulip is- is my holdout on this one.
Like I said, I'm sad, Brittany. Brittany Murphy's a good one. I think it'd have to be a no name. I don't think I can pinpoint an action.
I can pinpoint an actress who wouldn't want to see his Tulip. Let me think of that for a couple minutes. Honestly, unfortunately, she's tied up doing the Fifty Shades of Green movie, but to code a- but to code a- to code a Johnson might not be a bad Tulip. The fuck is the code of Johnson?
Um, did you see the, um, 21 Jump Street movie? Yeah. She played a bit character in that. She was one of the other undercover cops that kept harassing him all the time for not closing cases.
Okay. I remember the scene I remember. She's- she's not a few things. She's actually pretty funny and she doesn't take herself that seriously, which is always good, especially for rule like Tulip.
Um, also I can- Sam Elliott, Sandoval Killers. Yeah, I know fucking shit. Who else? Oh, Sam Elliott.
Um, I would say let's- I mean the most masculine man in America. Sam Elliott? Second to bite that guy from Tofu. It's Woods for Bridge.
It's Woods for Bridge. Um, the Doudon Bives, indeed. I'm not gonna say as Borella, yeah I was about to say that. Um, yeah, no.
Sam Elliott is- is the Sandoval Killers. I mean, you just- the voice alone when he goes, you know, the- the moment where they dropped the, uh, spoiler alert on a comic. It's been over ten years. Uh, when they dropped the bomb on, um, the nuclear bomb on the Sandoval Killers, he walks out of the rubble and spits and goes, not enough gun.
You know what I mean? Like, Sam Elliott would have the gravata stuff fucking pull that line off. I don't like the- the varspace. Is it been long enough that people won't understand kind of how on the fucking ball he was with creating that character?
He was a kid who tried to shoot himself like- like her co-bank. Like her co-bank. So he was just that- he- he- he- he- he- he- he- he- he- he explains the character in one sentence. He fucked up suicide.
You know what I mean? Like he fucked up killing himself. Um, you know what? You know what?
You might shit on me for this. But often I had- Jamie Kennedy's varspace. No, I totally see that. I mean, I'd be under heavy makeup, but- the physicality of it.
The physicality- he means actually proved himself to actually be a serious actor. Mm-hmm. So you know what I'm trying to figure out who to play too low if I can have Brittany Murphy and- I don't know if that's- I don't know if that's- yeah, too. Crap.
Do you have things for that? I do. I'm so sorry. Can you talk about our arrows for a few minutes?
Can we talk about- yes, I can talk about- I can't talk about arrows. Yeah, I'm gonna talk about arrows. Well, I'm gonna- I'm gonna- I'm gonna talk through- I'm gonna talk through two-up on this one. You know, I- I think physically I'd like to see Cameron Diaz, but I don't think she could do it.
Um, I- I'm- I'm at a lot- she literally said what to her phone as I said Cameron Diaz. Um, so, um, I'm just catching parts of Deb's conversation. Um, this is like when Chris Hardwick leaves- okay, I'm at Lyra. Okay, I'm sorry- no, no, best reason ever for leaving.
The comic book store is fucking open and he's going to get shit for me. And by that you can get shit for me because you said he replics. And fucking else. Mm-hmm.
Getting you a prisey? But yes, the mythical comic book store- you're- you did not just short the word present. I did. I like to say for free-sees, so getting you a prisey is even funnier.
Free-sey, prisey? Yeah. Um, I talked about- I'm so sorry. I know, I talked about- I know.
The comic book store we talked about earlier that was not open on new comic bookdays for some reason open right now and a friend of mine is getting me shit. They weren't open on free comic book day. That was in May. I said they weren't open on new comic book day.
New comic book day. Sorry. Um, if a comic book store isn't open on Wednesday, new comic book day, I assumed that he was just never open. I just brained some fucking- okay, I think I got to look.
I think I got to look. Okay, okay, go ahead. Uh, uh, what's been Hermione? I'm a- I'm a Watson.
I'm actually- I'm a Popper, so I might not be a Patuis. Emma who? Emma Roberts. She's Julia Roberts and he's- she's been in a few different things.
It's a little again. I think- it's a little- Emma, yeah, that's my issue. I mean- I can see Emma wants to know a bit. I can't see it, but it really is a little young and I don't ever see her doing TV serialized work.
They got fucking all-fant for fucking justified. It more has to do with the fact that she has a lot of other interests and she's very intelligent, so she pretty much only has to work and she wants to. Okay. And doing a one-time movie is a lot easier than doing a serialized TV show where you have to kind of- But they can pull in stars on this- especially for AMC.
I mean, they have the clout with Mad Men and Breaking Bad and I'm looking to- Nice. So, um, can we get back to talking about Arrow? I'm very sorry I had to step out, but it was- Yeah, I wanted to wait for you for Arrow, because I had my own mini-whiteboard for that one. I'm keen to pull up your mini-whiteboard.
I think I remember most of it. I know, we're trying to get to a TV guide. Oh, spoiler. Hey, so many spoilers.
So, yeah, especially on this one episode. Um, let's- Let's go ahead and say your thing and then I'll say my thing. Okay. One you have the return of- And once again you have the- the- the collector- Mmm.
Four-two, uh, uh, Chana- John Berryman would be an awesome character on fucking, uh, creature. John Berryman would be- What do you think about that? No, we could play so many different characters. Sorry, go ahead.
I could see him being custard. Yeah, I know. I don't need to do a callback. I just- it- it- it- it- it- it crystallized in my head.
No, yeah. Berryman could- could be- I could see him being custard. Um, or I could see him being- I could see him being- I could see him being custard- Super sorry. I was getting a lot of phone-cassity, actually.
Um, it was the return of- I was gonna say of Malcolm Merlin on our- Oh, hold on, wait, wait on that one. Uh, which is actually not on my list, but uh, it would have gotten there tangentially, but- That's not a real word. Tangentially? By way of tangent?
Um, let's- let's talk about, uh, real quick. Um, return of- Doug is getting up to- I don't know what. Uh, getting another pack of cigarettes. Um, he, uh, you see the return of- Malcolm Merlin.
Well, it's gonna say, um, um, vertigo, and he refers himself as- Oh, okay. Well, he's- he's always been the count. Uh, sorry microphone, sorry listeners. Like I said, he's always been the count, he's always one of my favorite characters.
But he finally referred himself as count vertigo, finally solidifying who he is from the comics. Well, it's interesting though, is that one of the things I've always liked about him is anytime I introduce a false drug, that's something that speaks my fascination. Like, you and I've talked about how much we'd like to be what- Stoma. Yeah, Stoma.
From breeder world. Mm-hmm. Totally do that. Or what's the drug in, um, ScatterDarkly?
Uh, it's- not- it's not a major-see, but it's a red hill, and I can remember what it's called. Do the crap out of that drug. Um, but it's- it's red, I think, is like the- the part of the point of it. Um, I love that movie, but anyway, um- That's one of the things that always people might interest about count vertigo, that in fact that they refer to him as the count because they find his dead victims from testing with the two punctures- With two punctures?
But- And then he makes the reference the first time Oliver is trying to vibrate from him from saying that drugs are judged by the deaths that took to develop them. And that was what, like, 36 or something like that? Something like that? Like, 36 times, like, 36 times, like, 12 vertigo?
Um, that- and I love their anti-flu shot fucking thing in that episode. Like, don't get a flu shot! Yeah, it could be drugs. Yeah, exactly.
Thanks, Jenny McCarthy. Um- Mike, give your kid autism! Oh, wait. Oh, wait.
That research was completely and utterly proved wrong. But what's important about count vertigo in this episode is that- It's about the escape of iron from iron heights. It's a touchdown. No!
Is that innate- him a killer again? It did make him a killer again. It was completely justified. It was just like- I literally- I literally rebounded it to that scene when he's about to poke Felicity.
Three arrows in the chest? Oh, yeah, it's rapid fire. I mean, it's like boom boom boom. He's re-arising the chest and then he always- He falls out the window and lands on a car.
But the fact that you see on the news- the news feed, which is becoming very frank miller-esque that you see the news feed in arrow. Um, the- the quote unquote. And once again, the refer to him as the vigilante once he's killed. Previously it was the hood has stopped the drug deal.
Now that he's killed, he becomes a vigilante again. There's a very interesting connotation there. This is where he's in the word vigilante for me. Um, no?
That showed him the word undertaken for me. The undertaking. Because every time I do something huge internet-wise or trying to finish a novel, it's like, Oh no, I don't mean that I killed 500 people. Which- No!
It's a 503. Sorry, I'm giving this shit on their memories. Oh, that touches on another thing. So, this was, by the way, I love they managed to condense a trial.
It would have taken months and months and months down. What, two days? He leaves at one point and comes back before the verdict. Like the ti- literally the- the- the- the- the- I think the pacing of time on this is fucking ridiculous.
Don't get me wrong, I totally find the thing. I totally find the- I totally understand that- And don't you get the sense, don't you get the sense that the trial is going on during the day but he fights vertigo at night and then comes back at eight or nine o'clock at night? They actually had a bit of dialogue that made that make sense. They were close to a verdict and the judge wanted to get it over with so we kept it truly late.
Does it, no court goes to nine p.m. Actually they do. They do have nike. They do have their deliberating, thank you, Doug.
Thank you, Doug. However, when the Moira queen verdict was read, the first thing in my mind is, oh, there's some strings attached to this bullshit. And you find out about that at the very end. You find out that Malcolm Merlin has many...
He's back. Yeah, one, he's not dead. Which... He's manipulated the jury into letting her off all fucking charges.
He's basically... He drives the jury when it's implied. He said, and three, that he has his daughter. Which I know, I'll tell them about.
I'm not thrilled about it. I think it... Well, I'm not thrilled that they keep putting waves in her hair because it just looks retarded. But, you know...
Is that better or worse than being a Malcolm Merlin's daughter? It doesn't really change anything. I know where Merlin... He says this in the show, where he trained.
And I like that he had the undying back. Do you know what the name of the leaves has? He did, but he also trained... I believe they say...
Nanda Parvat. Which is a... What's the word? Not an Nirvana.
It's kind of a monk-chingle law. Yes, ma'am. Yes, Red Bull. Got it.
You know, if I point to it and you say something, it kind of negates me pointing to it. It's like the opposite of my daughter where she talks and I go, I don't know, just fucking pointing at it. Oh, you're such a great parent. I, you know...
Finish up your thoughts on Ariel. We're already a bunch of anime. I know. And, of course, we're going to talk about this really quick because it's been established that it is one of my favorite characters.
Slade has started to become closer and closer to Deathstroke. I completely wanted to talk about that and I forgot it. I love the fact that they haven't out and running around. He's basically fucking half dead.
With half of his face covered. Face covered. He hasn't lost the eye yet. No, he hasn't lost the eye.
I assumed it was some kind of appointment. It was some kind of herbal mud that you put on that. Yeah, I was saying some kind of ointment to that. But it looks like the mask.
It looks like the mask. It looks fantastic. I love that A, they've done the tease on that and B, they have shadow running around in the hood which they talk about the episode. The, the, Sarah says, the last time I saw that, don't put on shadow.
The first time I saw that hood, shadow was when I... Yeah, that's it. Um, they're gonna, they're gonna have this serum that creates super soldiers and that is Death stroke's backstory is that he was a, I believe a military prisoner, um, like a dishonorable soldier type nut. And you and I totally had this slade on the way conversation early this week.
Oh, yes, that, that was a rip off of, excuse me, Deathstroke. Not the other way, Rob. No, but it's great. They have, I'll tell you that later.
Wait, Wilson, get it? Wait, Wilson, Slade? Yeah, Rob Liefeel. Fuck yourself.
Um, amazing artist, not a great human being. But anyway, um, he's not. Um, they're only so few of the image people. I actually like his human beings and Rob Liefeel is not one of them.
Tyler Farlin is another. Um, but anyway, uh, that he's becoming closer and closer to Deathstroke and I think that, like I said, there's a serum that's being teased and, uh, whoever says it can save him, then we'll do it. So I think I believe that's what- That's the next point. That's what- That's the next point.
I believe that's what- I believe the serum to save Slade. Because Slade is not doing well. Hmm, um, hmm. He's still a badass.
He fucking shot like four people in that episode. Whether in the legs or in the head. I mean, he, he rocks some shit being fucked up but- We can do a blog from here, Rob, okay. Do we have any thoughts?
I'm just interested to see about the serum with, uh, Slade. Um, I think that's what will push him to the comic book equivalent of Deathstroke. I'm calling it. So since I break a TV that I've been catching up on my Hulu, I love Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
I have not seen it, thought it'd be over after two episodes. Actually, the main reason why I love it is because Terry Crews is a character on it, and I fucking love Terry Crews. So he plays, I think, a little bit, Tenet, but it's just a little bit too out there, and it's fucking fantastic. Like, all of the secondary characters, like, steal that fucking show.
