And welcome to another episode of Ready to Rebellion Star Wars Podcasts, I'm your host, Albrecht Alleren and thank you for your news, another Star Wars Saturday as we are here, talking Star Wars 2 weeks in a row, who would have thought, this is Star Wars News to talk about and some official news finally, official news which is what we love to talk about here in Ready to Rebellion Star Wars Podcasts. Again thank you for being here, it's been a long week when I'm here, here as I hear from you guys, thank you so much for joining us, we have a lot of fun, I might have someone joining us in a couple of minutes, I haven't seen in a while, I haven't seen in a while, hopefully it will make it but how are you guys doing, let me know, let me chat, anyway, how's everyone doing today, Saturday, long weekend, happy Labor Day to everyone out there, someone's there, who's there, I can't believe it. I got to, for the people on the audio part, let me go. It's not the one Chloe, it's back, it's alive, what are you doing, I don't even recognize you, it's almost anymore, it's been a while.

It's been a while, you've sat, you were running, you know, you're in your country, you're in your state, you've got everything. How are you doing, I'm doing good, how about you? I'm doing okay, I'm just standing here, it's been a long week, it's my first week back, full at the office, they shut down our work from home, I don't want to say an exception, but the university said okay thank you for working for home for a couple years, it's done now, so you're back at work, it's been a long week, I haven't been in the office five straight days in about three years, so I know it's not the biggest of issues, I'll do it but still, I get to use it. I haven't been to the office five straight days and one to five years?

That's a long time, all right, we'll catch up in a minute, but everyone out there, thanks for joining us, if you're watching today, thanks for being here, make sure you subscribe to our channel, see you on our next videos from the new episode from The Drop, hit that like, thumbs up button, and comment down below if you're listening to us later in the replay and if you're listening to the audio podcast, thank you and it was a five-star rating and review of you, wish. All right, all right, all right, before we get into Star Wars news, because finally, there's some Star Wars news we're talking about, again, we haven't chat in the whole summer, we took a break, you were basically moving and rearranging your whole life, so understandable, but Star Wars wise, what, we've been doing anything, have you finished any books in last time, we talked about them? Zero, absolutely, no, the biggest Star Wars in my life was unpacking this looks guy and putting it here and like this, that's them, oh, and, well, I mean, I don't break it, and putting these books here, like, okay, that's like, that's a reminder that you, that's how I tell Tony, I have them right here, just so I remember that I haven't written them, but I brought like a handful of books, I didn't have to bring like, you remember that, while I happy that, that's all in Puerto Rico's there, so I brought the four hyper-public books, including the Tempest, Breaker, not all the station, or script, I guess, yeah, whatever, the Acolyte wrote the Oaseygar one, I brought it just in case, and the Ring of the Empire, because like, okay, that's gonna be like an ongoing series, so. At least you got to like summer or fall off next year to get into that one, so you got time.

What?! That fucking amount of a while ago? It came out the beginning of this year, and then the second book was supposed to come out spring of 2026, but they pushed it till fall of 26, and then the next one, I think they pushed it forward, no, later also to summer of 27, so. And that's kind of smart, because we got a movie in the summer, then you can, oh, summer's book here you go.

Yeah. Well, this is nice to see you. I wanted to see if you were here like three weeks ago, because I finally went to the movie theater in the summer, so all of the big movies, and really I just don't know. You actually, I like the four superman Jurassic World, I watch all of them, and I was like, are you proud of me, and then you weren't here, so I couldn't be.

I am proud that you watch, which isn't impossible. That's the only one I haven't made. Why? That's probably the worst one of that, maybe Jurassic World is the worst one.

Yeah, well, we might chat about them a little bit, but anyway, we're at the Dark Star Wars, if you can't believe it. I'm already less than Star Wars and Star Wars news. This new stream yard is killing me. It made me take a survey before I looked up.

I don't know. I think they're trying to push people away from the free plan by slowly taking stuff away and making things harder. So I think that's why, but we're going to keep on until it doesn't work. Star Wars news.

And then Starfighter, there's news about Starfighter. I can't even put out the here. Let me put it back in. There we go.

Sorry. Starfighter update. First photo. Things are happening, as you would say.

So earlier this week, Star Wars released the first official photo for the upcoming show and we're going to see if I'm a starfighter featuring Ryan Gosling, a newcomer, Flynn Gray. The black and white photos, you saw they're featuring Ryan wearing. I think it's a Star Wars-y kind of jacket. I mean, it's just one that just got from home and then Flynn is sitting on what appears to be a new screen.

I'm sure they're going to kind of jazz it up a little bit. I thought, lean speeder though. I don't like it. It's pretty lame, but whoa, let it go.

It's not a good show. I don't taste that official. You got it too much Star Wars. Two weeks ago, I'm going to talk about the casting.

I mean, it was Matt's name. It's Matt's name. It's going to be back in Star Wars and that's a big thing. And nowadays.

As we go into this picture and just your thoughts on it. Put it on. From Matt Smith. There we go.

So we can talk about that picture real quick. But when you heard Matt Smith finally again back in Star Wars, where have your heads been? You know, that's very Starfighter seems to be getting traction pretty quickly. It feels like such a weird movie.

Like, what is this movie? What is this? Hearing Matt Smith was going to be in Star Wars again. I just hope they don't cut him out again, but I was very excited because it's Matt Smith.

Sure, of course. He should be in Star Wars. And it's interesting because if you really think about it, he's bigger than ever now. In nerd culture, of course, he was the doctor.

He's always been big. But now he's done Game of Thrones. He did the crown. A lot of people know who he is.

I mean, I think the crown was before, but that'll happen after. So I think he's more exciting. He's bringing in more Starpower to them away, which I think is something this movie is really going to need. Starpower to get people to sit down and watch it.

So super thrilled about Matt Smith going into this. He's playing the villain we think, right? So there's, I can rumus. We don't know anything official about it.

But supposedly him and me and I got are the villains in the, or some of the villains, because we got some cast and I was a bunch of people. We don't know where everyone's going to fall, but a lot of people of course are speculating. Some people think it's going to be some type of general or friend Dale who wasn't the chat he later put on a comment or something, bringing back the whole property and escape clone or something. I don't think they're going to go that far into redoing what he was supposed to do first.

I mean, hopefully, Hogan, he gets a big part to play. There is no just on Starship bridge, just kind of barking orders from a star. Do you show? Yeah, we get stuck to do that.

That could be funny. He does like the whole Hux thing and the rock on which we stand. That kind of thing. That could be fun.

That he would kill it. But I hope they're like weird, Yozan Vaughn kind of creature. It's like, what is this? Something like that.

I love all these movies. Mandarin girl, they want it. Maybe not so much as we know a lot about all the back story for it. They can do whatever the hell they want.

There's nothing holding them back unless they read, but of course they're not doing that. But they can push this forward to whatever, use some different galaxy, bring the cheese into it or just something completely different. I like Miyagothas, Aralanin. Oh man.

I think she's the young, but whatever. Yeah. I love Matt Smith. I'd like to mention from Nerd like you said, where is this movie going?

We've all these type of factors we're getting, but I can be more excited. And then again, real quick, that picture, it is just to get everyone high. There's nothing here that we can do. It's a weird looking speeder.

It's a four zero, I guess. You can put people in the back also. It's a five-seater view. Really look out.

Yeah, there's three people you can put there unless we have Masamido, some big guy. They got the Sedan running. Yeah, the Frotiskan of Sedan family van kind of vibe. But I think it's cool.

I think it has a cover so we can't tell too much about it. Oh, I don't know. I think it's just a lame speeder. Probably just green.

So a couple of things I would like to comment on this. It's a set or it looks like a set? Yeah. I think they said it was in the UK set.

Oh, they're in like Pinewood? Yeah. They're doing a vendor, those things. Interesting.

Also, Ryan Gosling, he's playing K from Blade Runner. He does look like that. He looks like that character. Why did he bring something of that character to this part?

If he wants to play K, I'll find it. Like he can call him K and he's a droid. Cool. Who's that kid?

Did they take him away from Skeleton Crew? Even Grey, he apparently was in one episode of Wednesday, the Netflix series. I can't remember seeing him. I don't know which one he was in one season.

I think he also did an Irish crime show that's called Borderline. It was a couple episodes on that one. I haven't seen it. So far Star Wars has killed it with this cast of new people.

So I'm not a fan. I'm betting that if this kid got the part, he's bringing something to it that we don't have to be too worried about. Oh, young people are going to happen. I think it's good.

My only concern with these next batch of movies or specifically these two is it's not a story. It's not the directors. It's like I'm confident in everyone doing everything. My only concern is Disney and Lucasfilm not being aware that they're releasing a movie in a way different time than the last movie they released.

And if they are banking on this movie making a billion dollars, that's probably not. I don't even think they're mentoring movies. So we'll see what those expectations are and what happens afterwards. But I just hope they don't flop.

Or they don't flop in the way they think it's a flop. It is. It's weird now talking about what's a flop and what's not. I think Superman jumped in a way from source a little bit.

It's like, well, a 600 million so far. I think 700. I think it was about to reach 500 million last week. I think we're calling them flops.

Fantastic for was kind of like it just like crashed and burned. Yeah, it was a quick drop. But in the end, when a movie makes half a billion dollars, it's incomprehensible to think, oh, yeah, it was a flop. No, no, no.

I can't comprehend that. But if the next batch makes 800 million to a billion, then yeah, that's going to be very bad. Yeah. And I just hope like, of course you don't want to be cheap, but like this don't throw 250 million dollars at these movies.

Because I don't think that's where we're at. So yeah, but like everything else, I'm like, I do have like one big question with Matt Smith. What was he pitched the idea and came back or what was this phone like, hey, you signed like a three-minute movie contract. We kind of need you.

I hope not. I hope it's the first one. I know that Alan and right sign like a three-page video for solo and we saw how that went. Maybe there's still having the back pocket in case it's needed.

I don't have much. I think sometimes you're listening like, hey, like find a little user contract for this on the end. Just do like an episode of I did some shield and we're good. I hope it is again, full Matt Smith, right?

So what's a heavy recorded part, right? He talked about it like not so long ago. He was like, yeah, I can't really tell you what it was. But like it was a role that would change the entire story.

I was like, you're talking about this. I'm like, yeah, I recorded everything. It didn't work out. Whatever.

So I hope that he got this and it was a part that he was confident enough to say, I'm going to put myself through that again. I'm sure if I was that went through a whole recording process and then got caught and not even mentioned and hey, come back and go for you. What is something good? So what can they tell him to make him feel like they were not going to cut you out this time?

Because if he was playing Palpatine, it's not like they can be like, hey, you have this true role here. I was Palpatine and you still cut me out of the world. Maybe they didn't want to play the thing bad. We found a way to cut you out of the world.

And Palpatine is going to be the biggest part of the movie apart from Ray. I think again, he's going to be the main villain, but he was supposed to play the biggest villain of all of a star. What's apart from Ray there? He's like, maybe there's an extra class on that contract now that he's put his team pool and they can be cut a second time.

Anyway, from Star Wars.com, Star Wars Star Wars Star Wars is an all new standalone adventure, the film which has begun production entirely, original story set in a period of time never before explored in Star Wars. Star Wars will be released theatrically May 28th, 2027. So two straight years we're Star Wars movie going back to the summer so they basically reclaimed summer and May, sorry, winter and December. That's Avatar time now.

Are you, do you agree with me? I'm saying you're dying. Sorry, whatever. MCU is crashing and burning, but Avengers, doomsday is going to bring it back.

What was the question? Nothing. So the story production, so we can say that it's a set there. That's what we're saying.

They released a picture of like, it's a wrap like that feeling of okay, someone knows what's going on. That always makes me happy. I'm going to add, because they do say, so original story set in a period of time never before exploring Star Wars. I think this was from Variety that says Star Fire is a standalone film not connected to the previous Star Wars movies or characters from the so-called Skywalker saga, film revolving around Luke and Anakin.

I believe this is five years after Rato Skywalker. So I don't know how much of that into that follow the first order, the resistance being back, the new Republic or whatever they're going to call it. Or if it's totally separate, nothing to do with that. I hope it's not to go sideways or parallel to it.

It'll be fine. I mean, they can maybe do like a weird thing. I'm going to say, but if you really think about it, I think it makes sense. They can do like a Force Awakens thing.

Like in Force Awakens, we're following this character Ray and Finn. They're with Han Solo. Luke Scrantz and Nefi was following them. I get it.

But like, there are these two randos who like stumble into an adventure and end up meeting Luke Skywalker. Maybe this is like the story that we have these random people fighting these other random people and at the end they got to go find Ray or something. So one of the big rumors is that this kid that Finn Grey is playing is Force Sensitive. He's Ray's mom.

No, Amy Adams, we'll talk to him. Actually Ray's mom. But it's a lot of people saying maybe he's a Force Sensitive and Ray will have something to do with this movie and then connect to her solo movie, which we don't have in her name and while the script is ready to go. But maybe they're trying to put all of these things together.

No. That movie comes out. We get some information soon. Paul Damir on Oti last week, that week news was that Oscar Isaac say he was, I'm ready to come back to Star Wars.

I don't mind if they tell me in your house or whatever. You see any way that he comes to a movie, the best star fighter in the galaxy comes to a movie called Starfighter. Last week I said no. I mean, maybe they don't get too Ray but they get to him and he's like, I know someone.

I know someone. What would be cool? I think it's, I think this movie is starting production now. I don't think Oscar Isaac gets, or let's see if he owns something or is about to him.

I mean, like if it's like the ending scene, like again, like Force Awakens, like that takes like five years. All right. So, hello. They could do it like, do they, random front is a stay shop, Billy Piper regeneration scene in February or January, something like that.

So like anything can happen. I was reading yet this week, I can remember which, oh, Freesang gigs, something that they knew that show, yeah, comedy show from a series. It's Franco. Yeah.

It's great. I think they said they shot definitely halfway through the season because they knew they were getting canceled anyways. So we don't know how those things work when I think it's shot. So along with that for a full cast or most of the cast was announced.

Again, Ryan Gosming, Flynn grader, we mentioned already, Matt Smith, Doctor Who, also the Dragon the Crown. Mia God from- This is my priority, right? Or is this Star Wars? Star Wars for all the names out.

I think I'm gonna put where you've seen some of these people. Mia God is doing a bunch of horror movies out there. Aaron Pierre, who cannot break through with Rebel Rich and the upcoming Lantern series, which is gonna be a big one. And Stewart.

Yeah. Simon Bird from the In-B-Tweener, Jamau Westman, the SXS, I'm not sure which one. Daniel Inks, the gentleman TV show and a few of it. This is cool, but he was in the Crown.

He was one of Matt Smith's friends in the Crown, so he's cool to get those two back. And the Big Sur Prize was Amy Adam, which according to Variety will play Flynn's mother. Okay. Academy Award winner, let's give me Adam.

Let's show him for a minute. So you said that this movie needed star power to maybe get it, not only the hub, but get people interested in it. You think that with Ryan Gosling, which is one of the most recognizable stories, Amy Adam says, everyone loves, plus Matt Smith and some of the other people. It's that enough to, again, Amy Adams was a big surprise.

And then it's this big enough, or is it too many people that we know? It's not the Star Wars. We knew actors that we never know. Yeah.

But I think like Jod La like that's how the winner. Yeah. You gotta put two rest that debate that you can't have a known actor out there. No, I was actually like super on board with that idea until Jod La and Scott and Crown was like, I love that show.

So I mean, I don't know if this is enough. I don't think there's such a thing as enough star power. Fred Dale is here and he's saying, no, he looks on. Oh.

Right there. Amy Adams is raised one. Yeah. Yeah.

So I don't know. Like I also like, I've got to be that day one. Oh, obviously. We'll see.

We'll see. I don't mind the big names. Like you said, Jod La completely went into that part that after the first episode, it's like, that's not Jod La. That's the pirate there.

He's Jod Nana would we knew him. We loved him and then we hated him. Jack. He was so so great in that voice.

And we thought when Ryan Gosling was announced, we thought for a long time, how much we, we think it's a great piece for Star Wars, a great actor. He's out there. I think all the pieces fits. I don't mind if they bring Amy Adams.

Hopefully it's not for a, I use a five minute part. Hey, my son is missing. Go find him and then we don't see her till the end. Hopefully she has something more to do.

But yeah, not knowing anything about what the plot is. There was something a couple of months ago that said that Ryan Gosling was either trying to find or protecting a young ward that first time they said it was his nephew and then they changed nephew to a ward or someone. I remember the nephew thing. Yeah.

So, what would be interesting? So I can't wait. I want to know more. One thing that I love that I, not that I love, but that I have big faith.

In this movie is that from what I understand, maybe I'm wrong, that this is a story that Sean Levi kind of pitched or came into it with an idea what to do. And those type of same with Skeleton crew, this is not something that Lucas films say, hey, I want to do this. Just let's get directors and writers. Like some people went to Lucas.

We don't want to go to the conversation. Hey, I have a story. Let's build Star Wars around it. And we saw how great Skeleton crew turned out and or the same thing with Tony Gilroy.

And if this is that same thing that Sean Levi came with, it's like, yeah, I didn't get messed up by producers and the studio behind it. I have faith that we might get something. I'm not so special. We haven't seen it so I was a cool story that won't flop.

I will get more continuation of something. I just look like they really take advantage of the whole, like it's disconnected from everything. Like you mentioned, like if whatever, if we are in like a new timeline, new characters, new story, run with it. Like you don't have to put stormtroopers in it.

I think it's a slippery slope. Like do I want to see some? Yeah, I want to be here in here with the TIE fighter going through, but like I just hope they don't think about me and they think about something crazy. I can wait.

It's again, it's that mystery that we don't know. It's a new timeline. It's not connected to characters that we usually follow. What's it going to be?

The first order just failed five years ago. I've already followed this timeline. Who's the villain? Are they remnants of the first order or the Empire?

Is it that you some barn? Is it a new complete cast out there of villains? Anything is possible. Yeah, that's what I mean.

I'm thinking about other stories. Like for example, the other people like, had someone told me like, yeah, you're going to see Jedi fighting Vikings. And the evil guy, the guy, like he's not really powerful, but he has like a staff. What did the Jedi fear?

It's like, oh crap. A guy with a weird helmet. When they showed that white boy, they said like, dinosaur or something. Well, dinosaurs.

We're going around that. But even like something like fallen order, like had someone told me like, yeah, we're going to do like a story during the time in between revenge and the Sith and me hope where we have this Jedi finding an ancient civilization of force users. Yeah. I feel like what?

All right. All right. So very exciting. Sorry for the scene files out there.

Kaldio Miranda will serve as a cinematographer. And he was a top-girl Maverick and F1 the movie. So I think it makes sense. I don't want to say it makes sense, but it seems like a good fit for him to do a sour movie with a bunch of other starships out there.

I mean, both of those movies look beautiful. So again, releases made 28, 20, 27. But probably before that movie in I believe made 25 or may 26 of 20, 26 is the Mandalorian and Grogo. We haven't heard anything.

We haven't seen anything if you were in a sour celebration or this past D23 showcase that's going on. You haven't seen nothing. We're like eight months away from the movie. We know that we get a new movie announcement with a cast and all that stuff.

It's, we don't even know the cast of that movie. Oh, so Star Wars just dropped things. Is this something on Monday? We might get a trailer or something official.

I think it might be. I think we might get a surprise next week. Why next week though? I don't know.

Because we're getting stuff about Starfighter, never like from the Starfighter bandwagon. And some people are saying again, I know look at some of those and meet together what we say online. But it's like, hey, we're about to go into the next movie for this. We know nothing.

Haven't you learned that Star Wars is in the best place right now? You need to start marketing this movie. I think it would be a good surprise. I was thinking more like November.

Okay. Because I still think they need to promote the shit out of it. I think it's based on Pro. That's pretty popular.

So I think maybe they can pull off like a later marketing campaign. But like, I think it would make sense if they released like a teaser. Sure. They already have a teaser.

They've shown it. Two days ago in that 23-show game. I just read about it. Oh, they showed it in the 23?

The same one that they showed that celebration. People are saying the same one they're showing people are there right now. And they just released it. Yeah.

So maybe that we get that sooner or later. And then by November, December, we get a lot of people that are longer. The first big trailer. Yeah.

You show it in theaters for like, I was like, yeah, I know that I'm always going to have a trailer attached to it. Like I'm a thousand people with, I don't know. Yeah. Yeah.

And how about I come out December and then you're started promoting it with Fantastic Four, which timeline wise then between December, maybe December and May, we get the- But it should release that. It's definitely done for like a year, like just a few trailers. Yeah. I can't watch a potato camera too much more.

I think just going through that ad ad in there. All right. Good stuff. Star Wars is getting more news announced.

I think Jabba was on a comic con yesterday on a convention. He was asking the same thing if he would come back to Star Wars. No, what would he like to see free and if he came back to Star Wars? I'm just glad he's talking about it.

Alan Alden Enry was asked also if he would come back to Star Wars. He said if there's something really, really good, I'll come back. So at least people are open to coming back. I'm not happy to happen.

Yeah. Yeah. Of course, he want to come back. Get to dress in silly outfits and book or stuff and get paid or shit.

I mean, they don't give the movie fluff. They just play in it and get paid. All right. I think that's it.

I think for Star Wars news and not a lot, but something final I started to come out. You got to finish the high Republicans who can talk about it. The big ending with a lot of trials of the Jedi. If you were happy with it.

Yes. I haven't heard anything about it. Like people liking and hating it. Anything.

Yeah. Don't start searching. I'm not saying that there's a lot of spoilers out there, but you can get spoiled. There's big stuff that happens.

Big character fates that you might enjoy. I'm happy with the way it ended. You can say that, oh, this character didn't have a big piece to play in it. And that's fine.

There's so many characters at this end point that you can have everyone shot into it. We know we're never next to the comics and some of the others just because they're on all the books and other stories. But the way they dealt with Ava and Elsar, I was really happy about it. The final fate and really happy with the way they played it.

The story behind the nameless and the history was great. And if it was weird Star Wars, this is where it gets weird Star Wars. Really? Okay.

I'll say that the black, I wasn't never the biggest fan of adding the black into it. It's like an extra step that I don't know that now, Mark and Row and the name that's worked enough of a problem adding the black thing. So I just give the rest of the guy something to worry about. I could have done without it.

It doesn't go up and down in my ranking if they removed it. The way they did was fine. In general, I could have done without the black and just focus a little bit more on the other characters. Mark and Row is a freaking menace as always.

It's a quick question. Does the power friendship come into it? No. I think that the power friendship comes more in the comics.

And that's one thing that maybe focuses a lot on the Jedi, Mark, and the nameless. If you want to know what's going on with the rest of the Nile and the planets they're attacking, it is there. But they gloss over because that's happening in the comics. A lot of it happens in the comics.

So this part, it was fine. I wanted to just focus on the Jedi and Mark and which they did. And that's why I said, this is a book that you can't just jump into it. I know they tried to match some of the things, but if you haven't read all of the adult novels, you're going to be lost.

Yeah, I'm very happy with the way you're doing it. I want to read it. I don't know. Just finish.

If you finish. If you finish. If you finish that one and jump from that one to trials, you're fine. Then, best breaker, you really don't.

There's nothing into that line, which I really enjoy and doesn't play too much into it either. So if you want to just keep and I hate saying, if you want to go straight to it, you can. I'm not going to do it. All right.

Which I'm in the grid stories. All right. I love. I like into the dark more.

I love to do the light because I mean, Claudia, I still think that. I'm looking at it. It's very short compared to the other one. There's a lot of surprises very early on and a lot of things that are introduced force wise, which I think Claudia Grace is the best in bringing weird force connections into it and connecting it to the planet of Kashyyyk that blew my mind.

The ending kind of, oh, I thought it was going to go one way, when the other one. Unfortunately, a lot of what happens here doesn't play into the finale. So that's why you're, okay. But as a story, I think it's great.

Okay. Cool. All right. That's it for Star Wars.

Let's talk a little bit about something else that's not Star Wars in a world between fandom and other music or anything again, because there's a name. Before we jump into those big movies, are you watching Alien Earth? I know you're a big alien fan. When I watched the first episode, I haven't watched the rest.

Did you ever get into it? I love it. I hate that it's on a Tuesday night of all night. It's kind of weird, but I wasn't on Wednesdays.

I love it. No, I watched the first episode, but didn't watch the rest. I liked it. I was so weirded out by it because I thought it was going to be like a predator thing, like the alien moves in the jungle.

And it's like, no, the ship is going to crash and it's going to be an alien. I was like, what? I thought too. Exactly.

So I liked the first episode. It was super weird. But no, I'm a holly as weird as fuck. So there's my up-up.

But yeah, it was fun. Yeah. I'm really enjoying it. The first, there's been, what, three episodes maybe four I think after this week.

The first two, I think, are the more, I do have the Xenomorphs, they're just causing chaos. I think the second one is just all out. Third and four more character based on all the children that they've created or the, what is it, the lost voice that they have over there. And the relationship with her and her brother.

A lot of that has to do in the other episodes. Nemic, which I love seeing. I didn't know he was in the series. I'm glad that he's surviving a couple of episodes.

He's still around. Okay. But yeah, I'm enjoying the hell out of it on watching Foundation Season 3, which I love. And I was like, first episode of Foundation like two years ago.

I was like, oh, that was great. I watched this. No, you got to go back if you want to. It's weird.

I don't understand how about this stuff that's happening. It's like, it's like sci-fi, but like real science. It's really cool. I love that.

I really like that show. And we'll talk really quick about the summer movie. We're able to talk about the watch all three hours. We'll show with the real world.

What? What? No, no. Okay.

That's been more movies for the three movies. The three that I watched. Okay. The biggest one of the summer.

Have you watched Kpop Demon Hunter? Tony, he's freaking out about it. Did I watch it like five times already? Like these are watching like 12 times, it's every day almost explained here at night house.

Another friend of mine texted me like randomly. She was like, hey, I'm going to make a suggestion. You're not going to do it. But like, I just need to get it out.

And she's like, you should watch Kpop Demon Hunter. You will help me more? Yeah, my brother for like on the TV, I watched it. It's great.

You should watch it. So no, I don't think I will. I acknowledge that it's okay. It's a cool movie.

I'm not gonna knock it. It's pretty cool. If you can get my kids to sit down to watch a movie, I'll sit there with them. And if it's that 10th time, then it's fine.

How long is it? It's like an hour and 40 minutes at the most, I'm on 35. Maybe one day, I'm on board. Yeah.

Alright, so Jurassic World rebirth. I enjoyed it. It's like Jurassic World movie. Not I watched the, you know, you know, one like a week before.

So it's like, hey, it's never gonna be that. It's got some cool parts. It's better than the last two Jurassic World's for at least the last one. I could have done without the family plot.

I didn't care about that family at all. I mean, the game was the raft scene, which was great. So the water scenes were my favorite. Well, trying to get the Megalosaurus and then the spinosaurus came out and that raft scene, those were my favorite.

All the others were there. Okay. My favorite thing about that raft scene was like every dinosaur in this island is mule except this T-Rex. Maybe the T-Rex has two hearts.

It's my favorite Jurassic Park movie since Jurassic Park, but I hate all the Jurassic Park movies after Jurassic Park, so that's not like that big a thing. I just like that it was like a story in that universe. Sure. I was bummed by the fact that they brought in dinosaurs, I think like dinosaurs are cool already.

So I didn't remember if I read it, someone posted it, they were here one day, but there's no need to make mutant dinosaurs. Like what's cooler than a T-Rex? Nothing. That D-Rex was the biggest waste, I think, in the whole movie.

He was there for the trailers because he has nothing to do with the movie, basically. Yeah. I like that way. I didn't like the whole velociraptor when they show up and they get taken out of me.

He was like the biggest child in the franchise. I like the way that it started, it makes sense, real world, how we get over things pretty quickly. Like, yeah, dinosaurs been around now for 35 years. We don't care about it, they're not novel anymore.

So I like that way. I said, yes, I brought the saurus down and then we all the road, creating a traffic jam, just get it out. I like that way that started. And then of course, yeah, the main pharmaceutical guy wants to take over.

Big pharma's always the villain in this movie format. That's guys in suits. The Inquisitor right there. I'm like, oh, look where is this?

Spock's gonna take the lowest station to Superman because I'm not the biggest James Gunn fan. That trailer didn't really catch me on it. I thought his sense of humor was gonna be was gonna overtake some of the scenes on the trailers in Too Goofy. But watching the movie, none of that mattered.

Everything matters. I thought Guy Gardner was gonna hate him. I might be my favorite part. I mean, I feel.

You should have hated him though. I feel he's great. So yeah, I really enjoyed Superman. Surprise how much I enjoyed it.

It's not that great. It's movie out there, but I really liked it. Someone told me like, I couldn't get over the fact I couldn't stand the green lantern. I was like, that's the point.

No, I'm doing it. This is my reaction. I'm sticking with it. I was thinking twice now.

I needed that movie and I just didn't know it. It made me feel whole. It made me feel like a kid writing comics. I was so happy from beginning to end watching it.

Then I like it's weird because I think I don't think I like it more than Man of Steel. But in another way, maybe I do it. It made me feel just so happy. And by the way, I love Man of Steel.

I'm not like, I'm comparing it to a movie. But I don't know. I was just like fulfilled by watching it. They're very different movies.

I watched Man of Steel probably two days before I went to what Superman and Man of Steel is my favorite. Two days. Oh, okay. I was like, that's so specific.

Two days to the minute. Man of Steel is my favorite of the DC EU movie. So I'm like, okay, let's see what this brings. Totally different.

Totally. And the way that Superman is. And I still, I like the Superman and Man of Steel. I know one of those people.

That's not Superman. Someone else. My favorite part of one of my favorite, I've only seen one. So maybe we'll change is the conversation with Louis Lane in the apartment that interviews in because that's Superman.

Okay. No, I didn't have an agenda. I needed to say people because they were dying. Like, exactly.

It makes 100% going on as a reporter. And he getting so I didn't like, okay, I get it. I get it. You're a good Superman and Clark can.

So you know, what was the name? I remember. You know that one hurts. I wish we got him more of him as Clark can doing reporter things.

I wish we got a little bit more. Hug Girl, which is fine. I could have done without the screen every time she was on screen. I don't know nothing about that character.

So maybe spot away. I like that. No, dude. I again, I can't wait to see more.

Like when Kara shows up at the end and she's like, we're going to my movie now. Yeah. I'm really. She's just getting on the movie.

I don't know. Yeah. One of the other. That movie is like, but comic that movie is based out of it.

He already hints at it. Like, oh, she just goes to planets with the red suns and gets drunk. That comic is amazing. So I'm happy.

I'm happy Superman. We'll see how that plays. I really, really liked it. I was biased for it and I left still by this one.

All right. And in Fantastic Four. And here, even though I liked it, maybe the same as Superman, I was a little bit disappointed. I didn't like it more because I went with very high expectations for this one.

I love Silver Swerve for a love galactos. I enjoyed the previous 2004, 2006, or Fantastic Four. I enjoyed them for what they were at that point. I didn't even mind the last one.

It's like the last kind of 30 minutes. So my expectations for this are my hopes of this were extremely high. But going into it, I was starting to feel a little bit worried because all the, you know, people that watched it earlier, everything was about how great the family was and their interactions and their chemistry. No one talked about the villains.

I like, oh, no one's talking about galactos and what sort of the silver surfer. And when I went to the movies, I was disappointed by them. Like they know what those characters are in terms of getting out going to their power. But they think kind of shrunken down.

I love that scene. One of my favorite scenes was when they tried to escape from galactos and they had to run a black hole and the surfer is following them. I loved that. It wasn't one of the most visually pleasing scenes I've seen in a while.

But galactos at the end was kind of a just this lumbering guy trying to get away. So that was a little bit disappointed with the villains. And the surfer kind of disappears for 30 minutes and then comes back at the end to help push galactos into that portal. Everything else worked for me.

Just the villains were a little bit me. And I really wanted those two to work. Okay. And I really like galactos and Silver Surfer so can't follow you down that.

But I think I like Superman. They're just so different movies. I mean, yes, they're all about optimism and whatever. But like, they're still very different.

So I think maybe like Superman better, but I still love this fantastic four story. I think if this movie had come out like before Infinity War, like in that time where Marvel was just killing it, this one would have been like nominated for Oscars anymore. I think people would have freaked out about it. Yeah.

That said, I'm a big fantastic four fan and not just like those two or I hate the fan for stick. But those two earlier ones I was big until the comics as a kid. And this movie brought in like a lot of the elements that I liked of the different fantastic four stories. So that was cool for me better.

But Pascal and what's humans torch name? Quinn Joseph Quinn, they were a bit disappointing for me. They were just like versions of this cat these two characters that I just like, I don't know how to reconcile them. But I got not too worried about them like going on as them.

I was just like, I don't know. But as a Kirby, oh my gosh, it was just insane. And the boss was amazing too. So yeah, I like fantastic.

I liked it a lot. It's just maybe again, getting hopes up too high. Maybe when I watch it again, okay, I was putting too much into it. I love that both these ones and Superman, even though they weren't your generic already story, you get the back story anyways, as the movie goes along pretty organic.

So we didn't have to stop and do a big spill. We're going to space and we get our powers. Now it's happened and all this and all this and all the things that happened, I get where they worked out. It was funny because that fantastic form reminded me a lot of incredible because they do a lot of similar bits, but like incredible is ripping off.

I like that in the family. A lot of times in the movie, one of them gets shot by the family and gets pushed out and has to do something to come back. They didn't have it. They weren't together for all of it.

Even when Johnny was kind of not pushing aside, they weren't really listening to some of his ideas, but he went and listened to the recordings that kind of figured out what's going to really serve. I did enjoy it. They're going to be watching soon, probably tomorrow, doing some other stuff today. Thunderbolts.
