 Hey guys, what is up welcome to another episode of battle of the schmoes episode three this week. We got three big matches to talk about and man I'm really excited to talk about and I know my co-host kodi is here really excited to talk about it So kodi why don't you guess your initial thoughts and what your guys thoughts are? All right, so this week's match of of the schmoe down We got three episodes this week and man It was an absolute treat as a horror fan as Geeks That live in this world that love movies this week all around in terms of the smoke schmoe down it was just overall Fantastic it pretty much delivered on all aspects. We'll get into more detail about our personal opinions about each one of the episodes But first before we do that you guys should know that you can find Battle of the schmoes on both itunes and soundcloud if you don't have the opportunity to listen to the or watch this Little episode today. Don't worry either tomorrow or the next day This episode of battle of the schmoes will be up on itunes and soundcloud. So go check that out But zack, I'd say let's just get start talking about these episodes because there's a lot to talk about Yeah, I know totally agree. Um, let's just start with the first match of the week. Uh the inner geekdom now Let me tell you Inner geekdom match really well. There's a lot of great competitors new ones in here Of course, we've seen coi book over and I like koi. I really really like koi I think crazy koi is a really good competitor. I thought he would do better this time around But you know, I think he got some hard ball of questions Of course, we've seen adam helveck before but I think two of my big standouts here is the enforcer mark And also I really like heat and magic I thought she was an enjoyable Adorable watch and adding into the schmoad and I hope we get it more of her later down the road But what about you kodi? Where are your initial thoughts of the inner geekdom? I completely agree the standouts for me. I've always been a big fan of koi. He's a giant superhero marvel dc He's a giant nerd essentially is what it comes down to and ever since I saw him in two I believe it was 2016's movie fights I've been on his side since then and it was great to see him be on the schmoad down once again We also got Mike Carlson in there and yeah Keaton I was so glad that she was in here because she very much like rachel cushing She started out in the inner geekdom and although Keaton has come out and said she's a giant geek like all of us. She loves star wars. She loves harry potter She loves all these things. I would love to see her move forward in the schmoadown matches But of course you've got to start out somewhere but overall zack I was really pleased with this episode because you know the inner geekdom fan The inner geekdom fan in me it just made me so happy because all the questions The inner geekdom is just something that I am happy They celebrate because not everybody is giant movie fans who have tons of movie knowledge Some fans are just that they're geeks. They're people who love superhero movies are harry potter or lord of the rings and This match was just overall great. But zack, what do you think? Uh, so easily. I love the match. I think a lot of the questions in here are great I mean if I joined the inner geekdom, uh, I really have to study up hard on my lord of the rings and harry potter Sorry to all those fans out there, but you know the one thing that really Impresses me is just how much knowledge these guys have. I mean there are some questions that they get thrown I'm like I have no idea. I mean those harry potter questions I know you and me were talking about before and how you said the harry potter questions You would pretty much get them all right for me though. That's tough when you're asking what teacher did this and who portrayed that person Or what is the teacher's name? It's like man There are so many different harry potter teachers and each one sometimes they change who they what classes they change And what movie and what movie they teach it in it. It's it's bonkers, but inner geekdom it is for true Geeks, I mean like come on if you like movies Maybe you're not a geek. Maybe you don't like common movies. Maybe you don't like this type of stuff But when you go into the inner geekdom, it's all geek questions some ranging so easy Do some ranging right off the edge of a cliff being so obscure and not knowing what it is But that's the best thing about it is some of them are really obscure and when you get those they're the best Yeah, they absolutely are Hey, no, you mentioned harry potter and how harry potter lord of the rings There's a certain categories that you you would have to start a for me personally I would have to study for the star trek because yes, I'm a giant trekky I love love love star trek, but I'm not one of those people that memorizes everything there is to know about star trek I love it, but there's a lot of stuff And all honesty though, yeah harry potter lord of the rings pretty much any other category I feel like I would have a good chance in and out of any of the schmodown matches The inner geekdom is where I think I find myself to be truly truly home And it was just really enthralling to see how everybody participated everybody's passion towards this and man It was just so exciting to see even the new people like keaton Where they just excelled and they pushed themselves forward I remember that keaton at the very beginning of the inner geekdom. She started out slow It didn't really look like she was going to prevent progress very far But she did she winding making it all the way to the last Round of this entire game and as somebody's starting out with these kinds of movie trivia games It's fairly impressive Yeah, no, I agree. She was one of the ones when she started I was like, ah, come on get come on get some questions And then she just started rocking. I mean came down to the final thing koi got knocked out first Mike Carlson I like this style in here his personality came in here I mean it was just entertaining to see how he came in but really I think the two big standouts in here is donica and helvic helvic, I mean we've seen him in here before in the teams with uh Hector navarro and the thing is is that I think helvic should be teaming up in the actual movie trivia with someone else maybe a john schnep or Someone or even robber mire brunettes and say both have a hatred for hector navarro I think that would be just a cool idea to throw in there, but really donica He is a bad ass just his style the way he's taking questions and then of course we get to the end of the match and let's talk about this donica one But who walks in in the post interview to ask him a question the lions then the kodi I know you you kind of don't like the lions then at times I think it is so entertaining to watch the lines then they are so entertaining at times And I mean come on when fin stock dagnino, whatever the hell you want to call him when he walks in You know, it's going to be funny. You know, it's going to be some entertainment there and I love I loved how they asked donica I don't know donica's said yes yet, but I have a feeling we have a new lions then member. What about you? No, absolutely and look look people need to not mistrune My words here because I lost zack. Yes. Yes. I'm not the biggest fan of the lions Then but that's because of their personalities But the thing I love about the lions then as well Is their personalities because of their attitude towards the schmo down towards every other competitor It is absurdly entertaining to say the least They they come at it and the lions then for the most part they are brilliant players in this game of schmo down No matter what they're playing But their attitude is just so so utterly brilliant and great Yeah, you know what zack go right ahead. I I want you to talk about the lions then They're fun. They're awesome. I mean they have some of the best competitors in there given they did lose mark on dranco The android is one of the best players in there But I mean you really look at this and I think having donica come and join them is a really good choice For donica's move because he's a new competitor But I mean he comes out and strikes forth into this inner game and kicked a lot of ass in here And I really do think he has a very bright future in here But that all these people have bright futures all these people who play in the inner deep them have bright futures I even think koi does I think koi If he I think it's going to take one game where he's just going to kick a ton of ass and really come forward and come through Mike carlson's a very entertaining watch. We'll have to see where he goes. Um, I like seeing more women into the In the whole schmo down in general. I like seeing more women. I hope we get more of that this season I think donica and halvec are really the two that come coming out of the inner deep them that really impressed me the most And just seeing the lines then come up to donica. It's nice. They're still striking their places where they're at Absolutely Absolutely, it is great to see more women into this You guys know that since the beginning of of doing battle of the schmo Zach and I we have been Supporting and in full support of every woman inside of the schmo down And we believe that it is their year this year Rachel cushing is going to take all the belts all the records and every participant who's Every woman that jumps on board. They're gonna do great. I mean keaton pretty much showed that She did great and this was just her first match Everything with the schmo down just upwards progression where everything is going. It's really exciting to see And speaking of excitement Zach, I think we should talk about the episode that you and I agreed before we started this podcast up Is our favorite episode and that would be the ash versus the evil dead episode With bruce cambell and guys, let me tell you bruce cambell He should host he should just be in everything because this match of the schmo down was one of the most entertaining ones we have ever gotten in my opinion, but zach I know you're a much bigger fan of ash versus the evil dead than i am because I haven't even watched the show So how about you kick this off? Yeah, let me get that off for the audio listeners. I'm so sorry. I'm like freaking out right now Holy crap. I love okay when they announced this I almost cried like evil dead. I mean army of dark This is one of the first movies I ever I ever watched I mean it was one of the first movies ever watched given the match Okay, the match at times was kind of a mess the match at times Didn't work out. Some of the questions were very easy. I honestly I think I would have only missed two questions when I was actually playing at home I but I mean ash versus evil dead I loved it. I mean the show is great. I have to give a big plug to the show If you've never watched evil dead or if you have watched evil then you have not watched ash versus evil day Go check it out because you're a big fan of the evil dead. You're gonna love it. It's the same type of vibe just Ash is now an old man that that's that's what it is But ash versus evil dead the celebrity match I love seeing these celebrity matches for a very special reason They're a ton of fun given the actors probably don't study movie trivia But it's nice having I know we had Whitney Seibel Join in on Dana's side and then Ray Santiago got John snap snap And I love seeing their teams we had the boomsticks and the deadites And of course the deadites came out on top I mean my girl Dana is one of my favorite people in the whole hollywood and gentle She's a young star. She's a very young and upcoming star I love seeing her when especially white witty But I mean that doesn't go anything against the boom six the boom six did miss out on a couple easy questions That I was like how did you do this? But the thing that works so well about this match that I just Bruce Campbell at the desk Talking with mark riley mark ellis and all given questions that I mean I think a lot of people are going to point out to when Bruce Campbell gave away the answer I died laughing. I mean Bruce Campbell when he's doing his voice is the way he's commentating It's just great. He was a great commentator to the whole game and it God it was it was just a fun match I had a smile on my face the whole entire time I was watching it and just I I agree some people won't like I seen the live chat Some people are not liking that Bruce Campbell gave away some of the questions But given at the same time it's celebrity edition if this was a true match this would be an issue But I I really had a lot. I honestly I had a ton of fun with this match. What about you kody? Yeah, no, absolutely And for those of you who want to know a little bit of my history when it comes to the evil dead When it comes to ash versus the evil dead her lack thereof Like I said for those of you listening I am currently holding the copies of evil dead evil dead too an army of darkness That zack sent me because he's very passionate about not only the series but about ash versus the evil dead And he's been trying to get me to watch it for quite some time now I must say and after seeing this episode of the shmo down I completely understand why because if there's one person that would make me want to start watching all of this It is Bruce Campbell I mean the fact of the matter is his charisma his energy just towards all the stuff that was happening inside of the shmo down during this match It was so funny. It was so great And I mean especially one of my favorite parts from the shmo down was the van helsing question where the question was Who played van helsing in the 2004 film van helsing? And Bruce Campbell's hint was this actor is also the greatest shoman and the greatest part The greatest part about this match is I believe it was only It was only the dead eyes who actually got the answer right And the and the boomsticks John And the boomsticks all they had was a squiggle line even after the hint that Bruce Campbell gave I mean this match Guys, I might be seeming a little overly hyper but this this was great I mean I have never been so happy about a match in the shmo down As I was for this match since the kids from it participated in their own miniature shmo down I mean this whole thing it was just so full of energy so hyper and so great and plus Most if not all of the questions were horror related and you know guys that for me and Zach that is a major plus Yeah, I mean the whole match was a ton of fun I I really had a lot of fun with this match the commentating I think is the big thing to take away from it. The questions were great. I thought they added to I loved seeing the spinning board and this reminds me I miss the horror show collider did and I kind of hope they do more collider Horror themed episodes. I think that'd be a very fun kind of side thing to do make a belt for that Hell I'll come in and win that shit mark mark ellis christian harlock you listening I will come in and beach everyone's ass at the horror category Including the deadites. It does not matter. I will win But yeah, no, I really like schnep. I wish we saw more schnep in the Shmo down but really just a ton of fun blast. Do you have anything else to say about this match, kody? um Mostly just for the people who haven't seen it or the people who are listening right now And they're like, what is this match? What is this shmo down thing? If there is a match within the movie trivia shmo down if you are interested in checking this show out This is a match that I high and I'm pretty sure zack does too We highly recommend you going to watch because it is really a great gateway episode into watching What else the schmo down has to offer and not to mention once again The way the episodes are hosted the graphics that go along with the show The designs for each one of the types of schmo down episodes It's just so well constructed and so professionally put together that it's a joy to watch from beginning to end You have no completely agree with you that but now we go to the last match of the week which Not my favorite match of the week which going into the week I was like that that's obviously going to be my My second favorite one because that was the evil that comes on top for everything for me But it's Snyder versus ellis pretty nice match pretty Underwhelming match I would say I thought it was going to be more niche and nicked back to back But it really was Snyder's game to win I think ellis kind of threw out some softballs But he did get some hard questions as well that I would not have gotten right But I will say Mark ellis won for best entrance of the week. Come on. Let's let's be honest I was smiling and laughing the whole time. He's right as he entered in Yeah, no Jack and I say yeah no a lot but yes this match to be perfectly honest It was my least favorite of the week It was okay as far as the schmo down match is concerned But in my opinion It's kind of like the hype after the first iron man film came out. We've gotten so much hyper We got so excited for the match that was going to be ellis versus Snyder We got so pumped out of our mind and then the match comes And it's kind of it's a little bit like iron man too where it's enjoyable to watch But it's kind of a letdown to what we were expecting But overall this was an enjoyable match and some of the questions they were indeed hard And mark ellis's entrance it was out of this world crazy awesome But I mean, I'm sure there will be better matches in the future I'm just hoping if they have another Match like this where it's the clash of the titans essentially They upped their game just a little bit but overall the once again No complaints about the hosting no complaints about some of the questions No complaints really about any of the technical stuff. It's just the match was just fine in all honesty Yeah, no, I will say um Maybe cody maybe a little bit underwhelmed because uh, just Snyder won Maybe you're not a big fan of the lines that I might throw that shade a bit at you again, but I know let's act Going in going in I was I was cheering for ellis as much as I like Snyder I think Snyder is one of the best competitors in the game. I wanted to see all this one in the game The guy I think the schmode has been a little tough on him the last couple of Matches that he's had and it's kind of disappointing I think the team schmoes needs to get back in the ring and help this world out Now I get it given they're kind of have a little retirement issue going on. Well, you know Ellis christian Get back in the match team matches. Come on guys. I know you guys can want to do it But no, yeah, like you said this was a fine match. I think it's really cool. I'm I'm excited to see where um Snyder goes with with the rest of this year. I think this could be Snyder's year I think if I have my prediction that cushing is going to take the belt But I think Snyder is going to make his way up to the top. I think he's going to kick some ass this year Absolutely, I could not agree with you more Snyder Look, he's part of the lion's den and yes, that was a little bit of shade you through my way zack But I don't mind because here's the thing. It's like I always say I don't like the personalities that the lion's den portray they have But I'm not going to say they don't give us In interesting entertaining and great matches because they do they do give us those kinds of matches because they are so knowledgeable about Movies in general and their personalities are great to go along with their knowledge because it just makes us laugh And it makes us just enjoy seeing what we're watching So I don't really have any complaints, but zack is absolutely right Mark and christian you guys need to get back into the game man You guys need to start doing a team again because you could be on top You could be on top you guys are the ones that started this whole game You started everything we know about the schmoes You need to start putting yourself out there again and taking your title on the team match once again You guys are great. You have a profound knowledge of movies You deserve to be on top is pretty much what I'm saying. You guys need to get back in there Now I will say one thing before we move on to the live Question so if you're in the live chat, you're dying. I know we did the film. It's a little bit earlier So if you're catching us later, awesome. Thank you for coming in But if you are in the live chat right now make sure to leave down some questions We'll be starting to answer your as question the next couple minutes To make sure to do that and of course if you're listening to audio We always do these on saturdays day Of course, we're doing a little bit earlier Like I said just because me and kody have some special things to film Which I'm going to do a little plug for our sweet film awards If you don't know on our youtube channel We're doing our own sweet film awards where a bunch of youtubers have gotten together and we're We all laid out some nominations and we have our winners. So today's our filming day But it's gonna be a ton of fun But of course The last thing I want to mention is markels. You're funny as hell I love I love I love when you play or even when you're commenting because you give some of the best Commentary during the whole match. I I just think it's so entertaining. It's so fun Yeah, it absolutely is and double plat and double plugged a piggyback off of what zack was saying Guys the sweet film awards besides the fact that zack and I are getting everything together today The sweet film awards are coming out Next week they are coming out the 25th and the 26th of february We hope you guys are ready the oscars and the golden globes, you know, they're fine But zack and I we wanted to bring it back to the people We wanted to bring it back to movie loving fans We wanted to take all all the stuff that people don't like about movie award shows out of it And have it just be a pure experience. We got great people to come along and do this journey with us So we hope to see you there. We hope you'll enjoy it guys. This is for you and we can't wait to see you there Yeah, I know it's gonna be a ton of fun. But really let's get into the question. So scur Scrooge man, I can't I cannot talk today scurge scurge is in the chat today And he says what are your guys thoughts on the future matches posted today? Oh, do you do you have the future matches up? I know there's some coming up Of course, we can talk about the championship match the championship match is coming up But those are gonna be really fun. Um Man patriots versus top 10. I think that's the one I'm more excited for overall If I'm being completely honest, I don't know about you. Yeah I can that is that is something where I'm kind of torn between because I love both of the championship matches that we are getting But I guess it comes down to I'm gonna have to agree with you because john roka john rick John john roka team top 10 and versus team patriots It's about time for for them to get the belting records back because like I said Look team top 10. They are a great team. They are they have a lot of movie knowledge But it's time for the belt to be taken away from them so they can be humbled a little bit But you know knowing jte and team patriots, they'll probably say that that that It wasn't their fault that they lost that the game was rigged and that'll just make for an entertaining show to say the least But no, I'm not as far as the championship matches. I know of I don't really know of any of the other future matches Because I don't have the list directly in front of me. What about you zack? Um, really those are the only two that are off the top of my head. I know there's a couple others coming up I know bonnie summerville is coming back to the shimodan later I don't know if they've locked down a match yet for her But i'm excited to see that and see where she because she hasn't been in in a couple years But she was a really good competitor when she was in it But you know overall like I honestly don't like looking at who's coming up I actually kind of like just being surprised when it comes up or I see it on my social media like Oh, hey, that's who's playing this week awesome And maybe that's always good for my fantasy draft when I have fantasy picks to go with but no overall But I think there is one special thing I should probably Talk about and that is that I'm going to the live shimodan match in la on march 15th Which is an awesome thing that christian harloff and mark ellison everyone at collider is putting together I wish you could be coming cody, but really just it It's a cool experience that they're actually doing and I'm wondering how the flavor of the wwe is going to be there Yeah, I think it's going to be a ton of fun Yeah, I will I really I wish I could go to But one thing you guys need to understand and the reason why we're doing over webcam and not live is because Zach lives in arizona I live in maine And so there's a I would go if I could and I I completely respect christian and mark and all of them for doing this for hosting a live event and Zach I'm so happy that you get to go and have that experience and hey It'll just give us more stuff to talk about on this show You can talk about that experience. I can push you and you about it We can just go from there, but either way it's It's going to be some grand to say the least and Zach It does seem let's see here February 20 box office breakdown news versus superhero news is what scourge says is coming up for one of the future matches Okay, I actually really like that one. I like box office breakdown. We haven't seen a team like that I know I wonder who's going to be on the team because that used to be jt and dag Nino's rule But he did also just post Bonnie versus gene. Yes Bonnie's coming back, baby. I I'm telling you guys Bonnie's on my side I think she's going to kick some serious ass this match. Um, I I'm anticipating I like seeing more women competitors. We already say to this But I like seeing the women more women competitors Looks like he also put it a links men versus the world's finest. I don't know who that is But I'm curious to see it Well with each new addition that they decide to add to the shmo down It'll be great to see like we already said the inner geek to match Introduced us to some individuals. We're not used to seeing when it comes to the shmo down or the inner geek them so that's great and Okay, it doesn't really look like we have a lot more questions So I think for at least the last couple of minutes that we've got this podcast up we should take some time to To talk about something before we leave guys If you have not gone out to see Black Panther yet Zach and I could not highly recommend you going out to see it more The this is a film I don't want to talk too much about it because you guys need to go out and experience it It's a film that is so different from every other film in the mcu that we've gotten so far That it's just the experience that I can't encompass in talking about it right here But if you guys like films that will change your perspective on things Or you'd like really really entertaining movies you need to go see it I know this is a ball of the shmo's thing But zack and I we just felt it would it's important to bring this film up because everybody should be going out to see it What about you zack? Yeah, I mean you stole everywhere out of my mouth. Please go and see Black Panther this weekend I really do think it's one of the best and before we go. This is the last thing I'm going to take from the live chat a scourge also throws in here March 2nd is macuga versus carpino, which that's going to be a very entertaining match Because both of those are we got the we got the ladies man, and we got the wild man popping in I think that's going to be a really fun. I like seeing scarpino. I'm glad to see he's coming back Mumbacuga is the one of the best competitors at guessing and in general But also that same day it's bibbiani versus Mcweeney, which I'm just saying but that's a match that I think everyone has been waiting for and that's the thing Mcweeney is a Is an unstoppable monster, but at the same time bibbiani when he's on his a game I mean that first match we ever saw him He kicked a lot of ass And overall I cannot wait to see that match Or honestly bibbiani versus Mcweeney might be my most anticipated one for the next couple of weeks Absolutely, I mean this is Darth Vader versus Luke Skywalker. This is captain america versus iron man These are two great forces who know so much and have so much movie knowledge Coming to head in a schmo down match and you can better believe that both Mcweeney and big Bibbiani they are going to be on their a game for this match And it's going to be entertaining to say the least. I can't wait They they have both such an extensive movie knowledge that it's going to be like with mark ellis Like with with snider. It's going to be a clash of the titans for sure Yep, totally agree with you. But guys, that's our show. That was the episode number three podcasts And thank you of course for always joining us. This was a ton of fun to be talking about I can't wait for the next few matches that we're going to be talking about And I think there's a lot of good stuff coming into the schmo down Of course, just like cody's gonna say, why don't you let us know where they can find you cody and where they can find Those sound links and itunes links again once again Okay All right.
