Welcome to Geeks Corner. I'm Mr. Daps. I'm Katie. And we're so excited you're here on the first night where we were
0:30
almost in a tsunami watch. Who would have guessed? What a weird night.
0:36
Hopefully everybody's safe. We were under a tsunami watch. But it just got dropped. So it does look like it just got dropped.
0:41
Yes, that that looks like it's good news for uh Southern California and hopefully everybody else is safe as well wherever
0:49
you might be watching this show. But what should people do, Katie? You should
0:55
No. Uh, subscribe wherever you're watching or listening to
1:00
this. Subscribe. Subscribe. Very good. You should also subscribe on Patreon.
1:05
Yep. Go find us on patreon.com/magic. We have a new idea that might be a lot of fun. And yeah, like a lot of fun.
1:11
A lot of fun. And three, you should participate in the conversation. Join the chat because we have a section at the end
1:17
where we specifically talk to the comment section. Exactly. Very good. You did it. Thank you. I panicked.
1:24
It's okay. You'll get this. It's It's interactive right now. But uh first things first, as with every week, it is
1:30
time to talk about Muppets. Thanks, Daddy. Thank you, Mr. Dad. Thanks, man. Thank you, Mr. Dad. Thanks,
1:37
man. So, nobody called this week.
1:42
Um, what is it? The screaming goat. Screaming goat. Screaming goat. Which the moment I saw it, I was like, are you kidding me? Are
1:48
we reaching that far into the depths of Muppet Dum to pull out the screaming
1:53
goat? So, with the help of our dear friend Clockie from Sent from Disneyland, we now have a
1:59
list of all of the Muppets that have been on the Muppet of the Week. Look at
2:06
that. Wow. So, Muppy Muppy Clockie put them into a
2:12
database and then I made this this graphic for um the Muppets of the Week.
2:17
So Katie, and if you're in the chat, whoever would like to guess as well, who do you think will join
2:25
the Muppets of the Week fandom? Wall of fame. What's crazy is that baby Skeer has been
2:32
a Muppet of the Week, but regular Skeer has not. And then is that like is Baby Kermit
2:37
going to be a Muppet of the week? Like does that open the door to all the Muppet babies? I am going to say cuz I was just about to ask like oh has this
2:44
XYZ been this is hopefully going to help with that. I am going to say
2:50
the baby Muppet but not like a Muppet baby. Oh the Rogan one. Rogan.
2:55
Okay. Yeah. We have been watching um the studio on Apple TV Plus.
3:02
Um and absolutely every time I'm watching it all I can think of is the little baby muppets running around
3:08
going. Okay, Bailey says, "Uncle Deadly."
3:13
Okay, I think that's a good choice. Like, I'm going to stick with Bobo the Bear. I'm I'm very hopeful that as we continue on
3:21
uh we do get a Bobo the bear bear at some point. Uh cuz honestly, he he he
3:26
deserves it. He doesn't get enough love from the Muppets, but um next week will be week 50.
3:32
Whoa. So, that means there's about 20 more of these, I think, left.
3:38
That's kind of crazy. Do you have any thoughts on on who might be the uh Muppet of the Week? Katie, we're back on
3:44
camera, too. Um, Muppet News Guy would be good, too.
3:51
Yeah, I think he's loosely related to Egon, maybe. I always think I think they're like cousins twice,
3:58
right? I always think that him and Egon are very loosely related, but related
4:03
nonetheless. Um, wow. I was literally trying to do the
4:09
math in my head when you asked the question because I was like 20 weeks that means that we do have another Christmas for this.
4:18
Sure. I think probably. So like well cuz 20 weeks is rough
4:25
right around the end of the year. Yeah. Um so I'm like are we going to get more Muppet Christmas Carol? Cuz we've only
4:31
had the Ghost of Christmas present. Mhm. So, it's like I really hope not because Ghost of um Christmas past
4:39
scares me. Is that a common thing? Ghost of Christmas like the little
4:45
Yeah, the little ghost girl. Yeah. Okay. Scoo spooky. I thought you were I heard it and then I was like, wait, do you mean ghost of
4:51
Christmas future or Okay. No, I don't. I knew exactly what I was talking about.
4:57
Why does she talk like this? Okay. Why is she weird and scary? Ethereal. I would not say ethereal.
5:04
Ethereal has a positive connotation. See, and I think she's I don't know. I think Ghost of Christmas Past is
5:11
scary. Okay. Anyway, who do you think is going to be this week's
5:16
I already said the baby muppet. Oh, the baby muppet. Okay. So, that is Okay. Yeah. Got it. The baby. That's That's fair. All right.
5:22
Cuz we're going weird enough like why not Yeah. Why not say the baby muppet? Not go for baby muppet.
5:30
Go for I don't even know what those things are actually called. Um, what do you mean you don't know?
5:36
What is like their government name from the Muppets? Baby Muppets. Baby Muppets. That seems reasonable to me. Like that's
5:42
I feel like very possible. I swear. So Tiana is like half blind,
5:47
but I swear when we're doing Geeks Corner, I swear she can see herself on the TV. I think she smiles at herself.
5:52
Look at She's smiling at herself right now. Yeah. I don't know. Uh,
5:59
there she is. She's ridiculous. That's what she is. She's so happy. Mhm. Very much so.
6:04
She just wants people to pay attention to her. It's true. All right, let's move on to the next show. Next show. Next show. Bye, guys. It was great
6:11
having you. Over the weekend, Fantastic 4 arrived in theaters, but they also arrived in the
6:17
Disneyland Resort. In fact, they arrived with our good friend Herby. First though, we're going to give you a look
6:22
at the Fantastic 4 as they are seen in the parks right now. Katie, what do you
6:28
think of the Fantastic 4? I am going to say something that is just
6:33
a a overarching statement. Um and it's not necessarily just about
6:38
this but it is partially about this. You are always at a disadvantage when you
6:45
are portraying somebody to look like a real person. It is hard especially like the hardest
6:51
to me is Pedro Pascal. Agreed. I'm like that's like that's I almost feel bad for that. Like
6:57
it's really difficult. It is. Um, and so I think
7:02
What would you do instead? I I wouldn't. You just wouldn't? I probably just wouldn't. Okay.
7:08
Um, I probably would have been like I don't even know actually. Um or unless
7:13
it was like comic versions of them like if
7:18
which kind of could be if Disney released comic like Disney Marvel. Anyway.
7:24
Okay. Anyh who, all this to say. Mhm. Um, I don't know. I just
7:29
Which one's your favorite? The thing. The thing because he looks like the thing,
7:34
I think. So, um, I also, and this is I'm so It's just
7:40
going to sound like I'm being super negative. I think this is a super cool thing. I'm really glad that Disney did it. Mhm. Whatever. The other thing is I just
7:47
don't think that the costumes are interesting enough for me to be like, I actually like them. I like how simple
7:53
and like to me they remind me of I mean I hate to say it but the retrofuturistic
8:00
thing like it totally I've heard of nails that like it to me looks like it could have come out of a
8:06
60s movie with Don Knots or something. No, it reminds me of like or Leslie Nielsen or any of those the space couple.
8:12
Yeah, I love that. I actually think that's great. I actually I think also that's one of the reasons people are so
8:17
like oh they should do this in Tomorrowland because it does have that nostalgic like this is when we thought the future
8:23
could be great and I think there's something to be said for thinking the future could be great and maybe in unreasonable ways and that's not a bad
8:30
way thing. What is a great thing though for sure like no doubts about it is
8:36
Herby. Watch this.
8:54
We're here for just for me. Oh, that dress is so cute.
9:10
Hello.
9:29
You're so cute.
9:36
How can you not smile with that? I love him. And he's balancing on a ball.
9:41
That's actually I was just watching in like amazement. I was like, whoa. Like the I don't know the engineering
9:48
feat that is just blows my mind. And I'm sure it's probably related to the BDX
9:54
droids in one way or another of how it learned to do that. But um he interacts with people, he talks with them. Like it
10:01
is it's crazy. Like I shot a another short upright vehic video and completely
10:08
different. Like it's insane. Um also I was not saying that I don't
10:13
like the Fantastic Four costumes. I do like the Fantastic Four costumes. I just think when you're bringing something to the parks,
10:20
I I think it was just basic for a parks character costume anyway. Much like uh
10:26
who was it? But if it's the same as the movie, was it America Chavez? Well, hers are very Yeah.
10:32
When I was just like she could just be a person walking. I was like, "Oh, that's just No, I think I think these are great." No, I like Herby's even better.
10:39
I love Herby. Herby makes me just want to pick him up and hug him. I do think he sounds a lot like Wall-E, which is
10:45
funny because But the thing is is Herby's actually saying real words. Like Herby, if you
10:51
So was Wall-E, but I feel like he even more. I'm kidding. Yes, I agree.
10:59
Um, Wall-E just has that like puppy-like aspect about him. And anytime a robot is
11:04
puppy, I would be completely fine if Herby and the Fantastic 4 stayed there
11:10
permanently. Like maybe move them around a little bit so they're not just in this temporary space, but can you imagine if
11:17
Herby just randomly showed up in different parts of Tomorrowland and like is whizzing around talking to people?
11:23
Actually, yeah. Like that would be super cool. Like, and I'm not thinking on the cement. I'm
11:30
like, what if he came out of this like balcony over here or he's on the stage or like you could just kind of have him
11:36
do these unexpected little moments that Jake the Droid 2.0 kind of. Yeah.
11:42
Which really Jake the Droid was droid testing for Galaxy Touch, but but yeah, but like that's that's fine.
11:48
And um I just think he's such a fun little personality and uh and everybody
11:55
I sat and watched him on Sunday. I was working from over there on my lap or iPad and just so I could watch and like
12:02
it was funny watching how many people just like a lot of them didn't even get
12:07
in line to meet with the the Fantastic Four whatever two were out at any given moment cuz they were just so enthralled
12:12
with Herby. And uh I do like the part in the video where it's like if you're if you want to see Herby just come over here.
12:17
Yeah, you can just walk up to him. It's great. Um I will say and maybe I'm stating the obvious here
12:24
where they're meeting in front of the old Eio building. Oh, yeah. What's there now?
12:30
Nothing. So, what would you like to be there? Put a character meet and greet. Oh, like rip it out and put
12:36
rip it out. You could make it You could make it their new house of the future and make that that would be pretty cool. And you
12:43
could even make it interactive because we already know the floor moves. It's true. So, like if the thing does
12:49
something, the floor moves. Anyway, all of this to say
12:56
Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please fix Tomorrowland. Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please,
13:01
please, please, please, please, please, please. Hopefully. Yeah, hopefully he does well and it inspires him to do more. Um,
13:07
I would love Retro Futurism. Yeah, I think it'd be great. All right, we also learned this last week. It's
13:13
hard to believe so much has happened in the last week, but we got the news for what's going on at the Disneyland Resort
13:19
for the holidays. There's a lot. We're not going to get into all of it tonight. It's too early.
13:25
Just know it's there. Know it's coming. And the one thing we are going to talk about is what's new every year now. It's
13:32
Mickey and Minnie's outfits. And so we have got a new first look if it pops up. There we go. At what Mickey and Minnie
13:38
will be wearing. It reminds me very much of wrapping paper. And it's very happy. Um, what do you think of it?
13:45
I like it. I do. I love Mickey's jacket. Yeah. You know what?
13:51
You know what Mickey's outfit reminds me of? The episode of The Office where Michael wants to do like adult Christmas and
13:57
he's in like that uh burgundy like smoking jacket and Yeah, that's kind of
14:03
what this reminds me of. Okay. Other than it's reversed cuz the burgundy's on his pants.
14:08
Yeah. But I I like it. I think that they both look super cute. Um I kind of think they're getting better
14:14
each year. I think so, too. But the thing that is the burning question in the back of my head is I'm like, at what point do we
14:21
stop getting a new one every year? Probably when people stop buying the plush. Oh, that's valid.
14:26
Cuz I think that's honestly that's what it's all about. Um, you can also see it's connected to the 70th still, too,
14:32
because they've got the sparkles and Minnie's dress and like it's got that kind of celebratory thing going on, too.
14:39
So, I like how they incorporated, you know, maybe not the exact colors, but the vibe of the 70th has carried across
14:45
from um the summer. They are indeed celebrating happy. Yeah, they're going to continue that for
14:51
another about a year. But I think it's great. I think it'll be fun to see. Um and it's always fun to get that first
14:57
reveal and when you actually see the real costumes. And uh that'll probably be in November
15:03
in what October and and then we'll get the real face to face in November. But
15:08
super exciting. Can't wait to see them. And the one I should have brought up too is they're doing a new uh character
15:16
dining at uh Storytellers. I actually like that even more. That's the Mickey's Christmas Carol theme. Yeah. Is it Miss Mickey's
15:22
Christmas Carol feast? I think it's called. So cute. And Scrooge McDuck. Like this is the first one. I'm like, "Oh, I kind of have
15:28
to go." Like what I think is so funny is I'm like, "Okay, so um
15:35
Mickey's Christmas Carol, does that like you're having a feast. Does that mean at one point like somebody is designated as
15:41
Tiny Tim?" Mhm.
15:46
Does somebody have to stand up and be like, "God bless us everyone." And then I was trying to figure out how
15:52
they would do that as a costume. Do they have to like go to the bathroom for like an hour? I don't know. make everybody feel their
15:58
loss, you know. I'm sorry.
16:03
That just that just got sad. That's literally the whole point of Christmas Carol. I know, but this is the feast at the end
16:09
of it where it's all feast at the end. I was Mickey's Christmas Carol feast. Scrooge is there with Mickey's. That means
16:15
everything's happy. Yeah, everything's happy. You're at the wrong part of the story. Yeah. Um I was
16:20
I'm like, where were you going with this? There's no way. Um All right.
16:28
Clearly Katie needs to watch the movie again. Uh, no, I'm good with my Muppy Christmas
16:33
Carol. A cute one, but that one's shorter. I did see that Brian Henson wants uh the full version of Muppet
16:40
Christmas Carol to be uh cleaned up and released. I think that'd be great. All right. Uh, tonight we get to do
16:46
something that we don't get to talk about very often on Geeks Corner, but I decided we're going to because it's
16:51
exciting. Because we talk about Muppets a lot. Mhm. We don't talk about other puppets a lot,
16:59
but tonight we're going to talk about other puppets and Star Trek.
17:04
Never thought this would come out of my mouth. That is right. Season 4 of Star Trek Strange New Worlds are going to
17:11
have Star Trek puppets made by the Jim Henson Company. Actually, they're
17:17
already done being made because, well, we don't know that because all we saw was um Captain Pike in puppet form. Um,
17:27
what do you think of this? I want to know, and this is maybe too practical, I want to know who's puppeteering.
17:33
I think that's out there. Okay. I feel like I read that. I want to find who's puppeteering. Yeah. Mainly because like
17:41
I normal people might be like, "Oh, it's just the cast puppeteering." But, uh, a guy from Fraggle Rock is directing
17:48
it. I'm going to assume it's Jim Henson Company puppeteering. I would think so. That's what I think. But
17:54
um like puppeteering is really hard, especially doing it on a medium like television. Um
17:59
and you're miming it to somebody else's voice. Yeah, that's hard too. So um I don't think that it's the actual
18:06
Strange New Worlds cast just puppeteer. Of course not. It'd be hilarious if it was. Um I'm so
18:13
excited about this. Uh, we've been watching Strange New Worlds
18:19
Worlds and um I'm very obsessed with the fact that
18:25
it's like when you were like, "Oh, it's like a new genre every week." I was like, "Okay, sure." But it's like legitimately a new
18:32
genre every week. Like that's like It's an interesting thing because they kind of took what Wision did in a way
18:39
and expanded on it. Whereas Wanda division went through the years and it's like, "Oh, this decade you had this type
18:46
of show and this." They're literally going through different genres, whether it's horror or musical or now puppetry
18:53
or like they're hitting everything. It It's kind of crazy and it doesn't come off as too contrived.
18:59
No. Like there is one moment in the musical episode where I'm kind of like, "All right, that might have gone a little too far."
19:04
But for the most part, they have an overarching story that's going forward.
19:09
Everything makes sense. you somewhat believe it. I think Star Trek today is a little bit less believable than Star
19:14
Trek 30 years ago, but well, because I think back in the day they were like, "Oh, no. This could really happen some
19:21
and there was a a belief that the future could turn out like that." And um now I think they've leaned into
19:28
more storytelling with a like, wouldn't this be nice? I think they've leaned more into the fiction than the science.
19:33
Yes. Um I think that's fair, too. Uh but I can't wait to see it. I I think it'll be hilarious and it'll be great to see.
19:40
The other thing we got a look at this weekend, thank you San Diego Comic Con, is the first teaser trailer for
19:46
Starfleet Academy, which will be coming out in 2026.
19:52
And I loved it. I'm excited for this one. I went from very on the fence to like,
19:58
why are they doing this? I don't actually feel like this needs to be done. Um like I was like, I'll watch it.
20:06
But I kind of wish it was in a different era. I kind of wish it was a different
20:11
crew like as opposed to um uh
20:17
I don't know the Discovery era. I don't know. I've just never connected. Like I think they've gone too far in the future
20:22
so it's hard to keep up technologically wise. Sure. Like it it just makes it a little bit harder for me to um
20:28
connect. Yeah. Or believe I guess. And like there's some technological stuff that
20:34
I'm just like I guess by then you could have figured it out, but I don't know why you would need to. Um,
20:39
that's a whole different show. But this looks like it's getting back into Star
20:45
Trek roots. It looks like they're they're really leaning into the history
20:52
as they're going into the future. There were a ton of Easter eggs. Like there's a wall with with names on it that has so
20:59
many awesome You should pause it characters. Like yeah, go on YouTube, watch it, pause it. Uh you'll recognize
21:06
different I think they had somebody from just about every series of Star Trek and um
21:13
Oh yeah, even they had people from uh Oh, I don't know if they had Prodigy,
21:19
but even but they did have Lower Decks. Lower Decks. Yeah, there might have been Prodigy now that I'm thinking about it.
21:24
And I love Lower Decks. need to look closer. And then there's also another really interesting Easter egg that uh
21:29
points towards DS9 that's very interesting. I'm very curious to see if that's something that ends up being
21:35
explored or is that just a tease. Um like there's a lot of interesting things
21:41
in it and um I think stuff like this is way more interesting than like the Jedi um temple
21:51
stuff. I think it's the same but different. But yeah. Oh, I think this is way more interesting because the Jedi are so like
21:58
religious and textbooky and very like you don't do anything with the
22:05
lightsaber, you have the force. Um, that's exactly how Star Trek happens.
22:11
Okay. You mean? Yes. Meanwhile, Star Trek, I feel like, is more like real people
22:18
going through real things. Um, and so, okay. I don't know. I'm really excited about
22:24
this. I think it looks fun. Um I think it'll be great fun. I think it's going to be great fun.
22:30
Great fun. Yeah. I love that. Um also great fun. Only Murders in the
22:35
Building. Oh, love. Comes back September 9th. Has a
22:40
fantastic cast it looks like. Yeah. Like every year I'm like, how are they gonna pass up last year's cast? And then
22:48
they do it. Like they keep adding more people. So, like this year, uh, we do have Barl Stre coming back. Yes.
22:54
Great. Uh, new people are Logan Lurman, Renee
23:00
Zelwigger, Christopher Waltz, Keegan, Michael Key, uh, Germaine Fowler, Beanie Fieldstein, Feldstein, um, and then some
23:09
regulars that are returning. But like that's once again a home run cast.
23:14
I'm really excited. What do you think is going to happen? I don't know. Um, obviously we have the
23:20
murder that happened at the end of season four, but is that the real murder they or is
23:25
it somewhere like that starting point? I don't know. Um, did I also make up that Jane Lynch
23:32
was coming back? I might have seen that somewhere. I just didn't see it in the official thing. So, I was like, I don't know. Maybe that's
23:38
one of those like confirmed but not publicized. I thought I saw that somewhere, which
23:43
also I'd be like, how are we going to do this flashbacks? Well, yeah.
23:48
I mean, that's that's a Yeah. But anyway, um
23:53
I'm I really love this show. Um are we getting past the point where like
24:00
we've been talking about a lot of the suspension of disbelief tonight. Are we getting to the point where we're past that? Yeah. In my opinion, yes.
24:06
Is it though? Because if you think if you're doing like what you focus on
24:11
tends to grow and what you also focus on you tend to attract.
24:19
And so if you're focused on murder, but a murder a year,
24:25
we don't know that it's a year. We just know it's a season. We know roughly it's a year based off events in the show
24:32
is. Yeah. But you know that's a lot of murder. Are we not condemning the apartment complex yet?
24:42
I I don't know how many people can keep dying. But also, I don't care because this show
24:50
isn't supposed to be real. This show has officers that are working with
24:56
podcasters. I think at the end of the day, if the story makes sense, which they continue
25:01
to be ridiculous and still make sense, they still make sense. Oh, yeah. So, I'm like, as long as a good story, who cares? Yeah.
25:07
Like, it'll be fine. And as long as this season we don't have Paul Rudd doing a really insane Irish accent.
25:13
Wouldn't it be funny if they brought him back in a completely different role? Yes. Like, maybe maybe this time he's um
25:21
I don't know, maybe he's French. Oh, that'd be good. Yeah. Yeah. Or he could be like Lithuanian.
25:28
Okay. I don't know. I'm just throwing things out there. Uh yeah, I think I actually be okay with Paul Red. Or if he just
25:34
does a cameo and he's just walking by and you don't even like acknowledge him, but everybody's like, "Oh, is that Paul
25:41
Red?" Like I The other thing that's really funny about Only Murders in the Building is that at any given point,
25:49
they could also bring a character back and it's just like the actors, they'd be like, "Oh my god, Paul Rudd."
25:54
Yeah. Because they did that with Sting. They did that with um who's the comedian
26:01
I don't like? Uh what's her face? She was in season two. Uh the blonde one.
26:08
Mhm. I can't think of what her name is. But that one and those are they're just like
26:13
playing them. They're playing characterized or caricatureized versions of themselves. But I think it'd
26:21
be really funny if they brought back Paul Rudd and they're like, "It's just Paul Rudd." And there's no acknowledgement
26:26
whatsoever. Yeah, that would be funny. Um, guess we'll wait month or so and then we will be back.
26:33
All right. Finally, we have a new trailer also from Avatar Fire and Ash.
26:38
And we both have seen it. Uh, you haven't seen the movies yet? I've seen one.
26:44
Oh, you saw one movie. Okay. Um, I've seen both of them with you. They're very long.
26:49
They're uh they're long. Um, what did you think of the trailer for this one? I
26:56
had an initial thought that was like done deal. I have Oh, okay. I have a thought that
27:02
probably every single person is or sorry the loyalists for Avatar don't know if
27:08
you exist or are watching our show, but they do. They might be. They might be. Why do these all look the
27:14
same? Why do they're on the same planet? Why do these all look like the same movie?
27:19
The story feels the same. They look No, I think it I felt it this one
27:24
actually felt like the next chapter to me. They look beautiful. Um I thought it looked pretty. I thought
27:29
it looked like the next chapter. Whereas with the Lord of the Rings, I couldn't wait for the extended version. And I
27:35
think this one I would like the abridged. Like I would say that for all of them because generally there's some
27:40
moments I really like in them. I just am like I would like to get to them quicker and because I can't sit still that long.
27:47
And my first thought watching the trailer was like, "Oh, are we getting a new
27:53
version of um Flight of Passage in Florida?" Oh, yeah.
27:58
Because to me, this looked like such a no-brainer of like, "Oh, you could add another chapter or another version,
28:03
another whatever, cuz we're getting the new attraction out here that's going to be based on the second movie." So, it
28:09
seems to me like you either add another experience for Flight of Passage or
28:18
expand the land in Florida and add another attraction. I mean, they have the space.
28:23
They do have the space. Um, and then see there's Chris that does want the extended version of Avatar, I think,
28:30
on specifically Blu-ray 3D. That'd be fair. Um, I don't have a 3D player or
28:36
TV, but um I would be intrigued with that, but I would need to do it in like
28:41
segments. Like the second movie I liked because I split it up in like three
28:46
nights or something. Um like it it's just hard for me to sit still that long.
28:52
I think and this is going to be anybody who um
29:00
this is going to be a funny reference. Anyway, I think the issue with Avatar is that it insists upon itself.
29:08
It just insists upon itself. like it is so
29:16
it is what it is. Yeah. Um that is a reference to um this
29:22
is fun. This is like literally what my everyday life looks like explaining pop culture. Um there is a scene in Family Guy and he
29:30
goes, "Well, now that we're all going to die, we should share something that we've been like keeping secret." And he was like, "I don't like The Godfather." Lois
29:36
is like, "What do you mean you don't like The Godfather? It's one of the greatest movies of all time." time and he goes, "It insists upon itself." Which
29:42
apparently Seth Mcfarlland put in because he had a film professor that said something like that about a movie
29:48
and he thought it was so ridiculous and he was like, I'm putting this in cuz that's insane. That is funny.
29:53
Um, but yeah. All right, it is 9:00 which means it is time for
30:00
comments. Comments.
30:06
That is right. It is time for comments. If you have any questions or comments that you would like us to respond to,
30:11
throw them in said comments and we will do just that. Or if you'd like to say something to Tiana
30:17
or if you'd like to say something to Tiana. Um, she's still here.
30:22
She has not forgotten. That is for sure. Um, yeah. I don't know. Like I I
30:28
understand why people like Avatar. To me, it's a length thing. like it's I
30:35
see the the complaints and I also see the wins and I think I'm kind of stuck in the middle of like like it is such
30:43
phenomenal world building and as I was watching the trailer I was thinking like is this
30:49
like is this this generation's Lord of the Rings or Star Wars or
30:54
something like just because it I mean it's not for me like Lord of the Rings is almost impossible to replace but um
31:01
or to overcome But I did have that thought of like, is that the one where
31:07
like that's that's where you're really at? What year did the first Lord of the Rings come out?
31:13
Um, Fellowship of the Ring came out 2001.
31:20
Yeah. So, 20 years. That's about a generation. Avatar came out in 2009.
31:27
Mhm. The first one. Yeah.
31:32
That would mean that um we are currently in the 2017 levels of Lord of the Rings
31:38
hype. I don't think that's accurate. Um to be honest, when I watched the trailer for
31:43
Way of Water, I was like, "Me." Then I saw the new trailer and I was like, "Okay, I'll pay to see that." Um
31:48
yeah, I think the releases are thought out and I like like I almost would like
31:53
to read the um the book of each of them. Like I think that would be a very
31:59
interesting It'd be a long book because if you think the movie's long the book would be like I mean honestly
32:06
it'd be like the Lord of the Rings where you get that massive thing with all the extra um songs and poetry and all that
32:13
fun stuff and I I'd be okay with that. Um but no, I'm very curious about it and
32:18
the fact that there's the five movie plan I think is very fascinating. And um
32:24
Cameron said just today I think or yesterday that he's he's like well I'm healthy. I think I'll direct all five if
32:29
I can, which it had sounded like he was going to pass the baton, I guess you could say,
32:34
but now it sounds like he's enjoying it and continuing to build on them. So, I think
32:40
it's I don't know. I think it's interesting to watch it play out and I'll be curious to see I like to see the
32:46
more of the world than just one spot. And there were there were um
32:52
some nods in the move or in the trailer towards the new movie that I was like, "Oh, that looks interesting." Clearly,
32:59
even the worlds we've seen have already changed quite a bit. Um
33:04
Oh, there's comics. That's cool. H that makes sense. Uh
33:11
that's a lot of comics, I bet. Wow. Uh yeah, it'll be interesting to see. No,
33:17
they have not filmed all five. He has written all five. I don't even know if he's written all
33:23
five. I think he just has a general idea of where they're going. This might be a George RR Martin um Game
33:28
of Thrones situation. It it knows like
33:33
my question is does this become a two billion dollar movie also? Probably. Yeah. I don't know how, but it will. Um
33:40
Punky Grandma was just asking where you were, honey bun. It's like you could hear her.
33:48
You made it. Uh, any other comments?
33:54
I just think it's He's got comments. I just think it's really funny that I literally just got a text asking where
34:01
he was because Tiana looked too happy. And then he goes, "Our here, Mom. What
34:08
do you think about Avatar? Do you want to go on um Flight of Passage?"
34:14
I think you would like Na'vi River Journey. I think you'd have a lot of fun. There you go. Chris says nothing will
34:20
reach 2019 MCU film heights in terms of I wouldn't think so, but then you never know.
34:26
Like Way of Water really surprised me. So I I don't know. Like there's something that just grabs people about
34:32
Avatar and it's very cinematic and it's something you want to experience in theaters. Yeah. like it is one that that I think
34:40
does pull people in and but none of the movies are doing as good as they used to do and then you have to wonder is that
34:46
because they're not as good of movies or is it people just don't want to go to theaters anymore. So it'll be very interesting to see what the numbers are
34:52
for which as we were talking about in the Patreon pre-show sometimes you just don't want to go to theaters. True.
