It's the participation trophy of business school Oh, and I didn't really want to do that. So like out of spite. I made sure that I was gonna get only like entertainment industry jobs That could like let me do like fun stuff because my parents are like, oh my god You have to go into business you have to work for like coca-cola or UPS I was like, absolutely not. So Basically, I just kept applying the internships of adult swim didn't get one did get one at TBS and TNT Then while I was at TBS and TNT adult swim offered me a more full-time position So I took that while I was there. We were promoting a plethora of new shows one of the ways We did that was at RTX 2017 and I was like Roosterteeth. I kind of remember red versus blue. So I went to RTX had a blast Barely remember it great time So when my position there was coming towards an end. I was like, oh my god, I'm un-hireable. No one's ever gonna hire me I needed to apply a million different places and then I remembered the woman from full screen not Roosterteeth That was working with us during RTX. I was like, I'm just gonna play it full screen So I did and then they sent me the Roosterteeth and now I'm here Not my story Kayla when you started out with saying boom, I thought you were gonna hit us with this like Kevin Hart I thought you're gonna be like, okay, boom. Got it. Bam. Oh See I'm in college and then boom Cannot escape from the Iron Fist of AT&T they've bought every company That's how I lost my job at the adult swim. They hadn't hiring free as well I had a temporary position so they couldn't hire me full-time So then I ended up at Roosterteeth and then they bought full-screen It's cuz they it's cuz of you Kayla They needed you they needed to grab you Yeah Papa AT&T just my whole career basically Stop me by any chance cuz I don't know I want to I want to do this quick shout-out be a be a first member And then you can check out shows like wrestling with the week streaming now on Roosterteeth YouTube and podcasting platforms All elites wrestling Scorpio sky and Funhouse creator James Willems get together to break down the week of wrestling pop culture sports music Movies and more so yeah be a be a first member and then yeah, just meet us in the chat We'll just we'll just be chilling there. All right moving on We talking about it. So hook us up. I wanted to ask I don't know much about what drives you Nikki because you and Kayla I'd be really interested to know like What geeky things you guys are into like if you guys are into anything animation specific or if you guys like playing video games Yeah, what I'm what is that? What's your face? I'm into all of that. Um, like my favorite shows are all animated. It's like Archer Oh Well, okay, so let me back up a little I think Archer is partially my favorite because I love H John Benjamin's voice Yeah, anything that he's on I'm all about But yeah, I play video games Constantly I've been on a Skyrim kick lately Oh Yeah, but I've been playing so I've played it a billion times. I'm not gonna get into how many times I've bought it It's a little embarrassing It's more than me which shocked me because I've bought it more than four times It's definitely more than that Various platforms, very a dish various additions. I won't apologize. You were to say a dish I want to have really a dish. That's how I know you bought it a lot. You're like What's the guy's name Ron Ron Howard is that the guy? the director Like the red kid No, no, no the dude who's like the Bethesda joke like every time something happens. This is like Ron Howard guy I think that's his name. He's like the dude the Elder Scrolls guy. Oh, I don't know. Anyway, he Todd Howard Yeah, the Bethesda guy he basically has a full pipeline connected directly to Nikki's wallet. It's what we're living. Yes It's a problem Can't wait till the next one comes out I don't know what it's gonna be, but I'm so excited. I am always almost always a red guard But right now I'm playing as an Argonian Anyone who knows my twitch name might not be surprised by that Is it the busty Argonian? Yes, it's the busty Argonian made because there's a book in the game called the lusty Argonian made but somebody already Oh Such a such a fan of it Yeah, me and Nikki are also some of the biggest community fans and that's why I appreciate Nikki is like I could just like throw out a quick Like Troy Barnes lion and Nikki will instantly know exactly what I'm talking or I'll just literally go. Oh Brit is in this You will know exactly what episode I am talking about. That was the Christmas episode that was spoken by Taryn Killum Because he was putting together this Was a gleam it was their glee. Yes My favorite song from that episode is Annie's without a doubt. I sing it It's so it's literally literally Literally, I think me and Zoe's friendship was based upon just that moment from that episode It is peak like I don't know if like this was the same for you But it's like the convergence of the like I love community and I was a fucking gleeke and like seeing like they have the lighting They got the framing they got the set dressing they got the clothes and I was just like this is so perfect And then just seeing that just seeing her do this dumb stupid song Gives me so much joy It's the best is the best it's the best scene of the entire series that or the Dean just all of the D&D episode my The first episode I ever watched was the D&D episode where they were playing with Neil and I was immediately That episode makes me cry every time I watch it, but also it's my favorite episode. It's so good I Remember I am there's one tweet that I was like I get that and it was someone just saying like yo man I miss Don Glover when he was Not the Don Glover now and I was like I can get that He's too cool like like how do you like I'll tell a quick story real quick and then we'll get to Kayla I remember like what was it his album came out like because of the because the internet So he had that deep web tour and He obviously he hadn't he hadn't exploded yet, right? Like he wasn't like as big as he was now But I just remember I was like man that year it was like 2015 16 or something like that I went and saw Frank Ocean for the first time which was off the chain Then I went to go see Donald Glover's concert or Charles Gambino in this instance And I got really sick and I was so disappointed because I told myself I was like dude if you don't go to this concert which by the way it was so small That it was like standing room only so literally you just show up a little bit earlier and you already in the front row because there is no row But I told myself I was like dude if you don't go to this concert You are going to miss the biggest opportunity because he's going to explode and then I missed the concert and obviously after that He became effing Hans or no not Han Solo, but he was in solo as literally Lando Yeah, and then the dude just became Simba. He became everything after that and I was like oh man So to this day, I still think one day me and Donald Glover will be friends one day I think we'll just I think a vibe I think we'll be like best friend soulmates will write a couple of tracks here in there I don't know how it works out. We'll play a good freestyler. I've actually met him but I was like so I he was at fun fun fun fest in like 2014 or something like that And I was so excited to meet him because I was a fan of community I was a fan of his music and my ex-boyfriend actually Introduced me to his music because I or no to his comedy because I didn't know anything about Derek comedy And so like I was just into everything he was doing at the time and we go to fun fun But this and I get the meet-and-greet pass and everything I walk up to him and I'm just like hi And I hand them my program to sign and I just smile like an idiot at him and my stupid ex over here He's having a whole conversation with him. I was so bitter Hi hi now you now if you see him you just got to be it's murder He's just gonna be like I'm sorry, I don't know what we're talking about That's so funny Literally perfect See, I don't I never watched glee so I didn't I didn't catch these little these little like cues and like little Right here didn't know everyone the character like it's Anyway, don't get me started on Glee, please. Yeah All I remember all I remember is oh bread is in this Take away from that episode that and we got to go to regionals All right, let's go on to Kayla Kayla What tell us what kind of what kind of nerdy stuff you into um before I do that I would just want to follow up on the Donald Glover thing. I do have beef with him How was that possible okay, so the show Atlanta wonderful I believe in a hundred percent for the justification going on right now. No one knows this Ethan knows this I brought it up on the last Listen, he showed white people how lit Atlanta was and they were like, you know, let's go bet and I'm just like We got a green belt now, man Wait, so you're telling me that like you don't think that like TI and and any of like outcasts like I ever made anything appealing It didn't see I come out with a movie called Atlanta or is it And it does not make it look fun fun or whimsical or It makes you go like maybe I don't want to go to it. I don't know weird down there It's like I mean the best the best thing I feel like the best portraits of Atlanta are the television show Atlanta and the movie roll Bounce Big shout out to Bow Wow or what's his real name Shad Shad Shad Moss Shad Moss I saw somebody said the other day. His name was like Shadwick Never mind. I don't Know it was something really dumb. It was like Shadwick Chadwick or something dumb Out of context. It doesn't make sense and I messed it up. So just just give me go away No, I would never skip you. I love you so much, Nicky So Kayla's got beef with Donald Glover The was that was I bump in because the internet while I worked out this morning. What of it? That doesn't mean I can't have beef Amigos relevant. Absolutely You gotta give him a pass you gotta give a pass cuz he Yeah, they can coexist with one another so friend How's that friend of these? I'm sorry. What was the question? What what kind of nerdy stuff are you into like what what you watching what you what you drawing I don't know what you do what you selling. I mean That's so hard cuz like I feel like it's everything I do. So I don't think about it I don't know. I've been like in a deep like anime hole lately But when I'm not in an anime hole, I'm usually like rewatching Steven Universe and spinning and ungodly amount of money on like emerging comic books This I have a bookshelf. None of them are novels. It's just all comic books that white bucks down there are all singles I have no impulse control my bookshelf out there is like all of my other nerd shit But I'd say like my biggest fandom is probably Steven Universe or Legend of Korra. Those are my two Those are my two ones that I've been super into lately that aren't anime Have you been watching? Have you so you say legend of Korra and the moment anyone says that they love legend of Korra? The first thing I ask is have you seen Avatar Last Airbender? What are your thoughts between which one would you put on top? Which ones? What was up on top? Um, I mean like I that's like apples and oranges because I feel like Avatar of the Last Airbender has that like that sexy nostalgia factor like I was eight I wasn't paying bills when this came out. It's just like oh, man I remember being like fucking eight years old and like seeing this shit for the first time and being like, yeah That's dope elements Avatar airbending. That's crazy. He's the last one I don't understand that this is teaching me about grief and loss and like socio-political economic like like war is bad like So like that's like a different vibe and then like with legend of Korra that came out like I was in college I'm an adult like a different man The police are bad and they're showing me that through like the metal benders being taken over by Kuvira and the whatever sees it And I'm just like yeah, no we should be allowed to protest out on the streets at night and not be arrested That's an episode that happened that I watched this summer. It felt way too on the nose Um, I think they're both very good series in their own different ways And that you shouldn't compare them because like the girls don't have to be fighting let everyone be a queen Um, but I'm a lesbian I love that Kayla I'm gonna I can't help it you have you have these mannerisms and I'm gonna start to adopt them And I'm gonna kind of do this thing right here where I'm just gonna be like I don't want to have to do this I'm gonna do that. I just love your mannerism This is how I dance at dance parties is like whenever they're everyone's in a circle and someone does one thing Then you just start copying them. That's Kayla. Kayla's the trendsetter. Oh my god There's this episode of ins not insecure of black lady sketch show on HBO sign for HBO max guys Where and when it came out everybody sent it to me because they were like Kayla This is you and it's like Quinta and like her friend and they're like in the club dancing and like this woman like across the But also me and Quinta have like the exact same body type So like that's also probably why they sent it to me. Also. They were in a lesbian bar That's neither hearing over there. Anyway, they're like across the bar from each other and Quinta's like Dancing and like the girl across the bar is like stealing her moves and she's like, you know, I think she's trying to swagger jack me Anyway, watch the sketch. It's very funny When I tell you that everyone in my life who's ever seen me dance sent me that and I was like listen It's not my fault that I have baller moves. You guys were at the holiday party two years ago. You saw me You do have some fire moves. Yeah, it's not my fault.

I will never question Kayla And I'm sorry, I see the I see the base you got in the back and I see them drums What kind of kid is that back there? Um, okay, so that's a get a lele up top on the left That's a guitar ukulele then that's just a normal electric base and then this is a you base Which is a ukulele base. I have ukulele in my closet somewhere But I couldn't figure out where to hang it because my cat's like water bowl is too close to it And then those are some of Lisa's drums that my parents guilt got me for Christmas V drums are the others V drums of it. That's what some e drums. Yeah Yeah, what's your drumsticks? Yeah I'm never gonna let it die. I'm never gonna listen right had your uh When you said like you you weren't gonna hang up your other ukulele I thought you were gonna say it's because your cat tries to play it. Oh my god Yo, please I'm afraid that he's gonna like paw at it because it's gonna be so low But here's the thing your cat figured out door knobs Clearly it can figure out a ukulele like what that's the next evolution up, right? He does I'll monetize it, but like that's about like he's gonna like claw it up like it's so You know, I like that one like is close to me like emotionally. So like I don't want to put her in danger Um, but these are just off amazon like I don't give a fuck like Earthquake take them out. I don't give a shit. It's what I'm down. I'm down half a stimmy I'm already did them Because that's the evolution cats figure out door knobs then they play the ukulele And then after that they're like literally investing in like dogecoin like that's how that's the evolution Yeah, I made a lot of money in dogecoin Just make up for make up for the other one did not make up for what I lost on us Okay, I'll I'll tell you what I did I actually invested into amc lost a lot of money obviously lost a lot of money But here's the but here's the reality though The reality is I wasn't trying to hop on the whole bandwagon as a matter of fact like weeks prior to all of the like hullabaloo I uh, I was talking with billy berson And that's that's the man billy big shout out to billy. I love you dude billy. I was like, hey man I really like movie theaters I'm really hoping that they come back in the future because real talk i'm over here watching movies In the living room, and it's so dope, but it's not the same It's not the same like I can't tell you how many times I pause the movie And then even though I have the luxury of rewinding. Yeah, I don't even know what the hell's going on in the movie anymore Because I pause it like 50 million times. No, like the overall experience is gone. Okay. The thrill is gone Hear me out. So hear me out. Hear me out. All right You pay me a monthly fee like a little subscription subscription service You pay me a monthly fee. Let's call it. What's not flex $14 799 799 mom. I will come to your house I will spill soda on your floor. I will throw popcorn on your floor I will you'll walk right past me on your floor. I will put crumbs in your couch I will I will get that synthetic nacho cheese and I will smear it on the arm rest of your sofa I will stand about 20 feet behind you while you watch a movie and uh scream fun snide comments while you tell me 799 a month that's all of this Can you bring a kid to run up and down?

Why did you fall in 99 a month? What was the question? What are we talking about? We're just well, I was just explaining why I invested like wholeheartedly into the movie industry Sure, I lost some money, but hey, I'm just gonna let it sit in there. I'ma let it marinate Hopefully in like 10 years. Maybe it'll come back. Maybe no, it absolutely will It's a long-term investment long-term remember movie ever figure this out. Oh, yeah, I remember movie Can I tell you I'm the reason why we don't have movie pass? I might be too. What did you do, Kayla? What did you do? Did you do something Kayla when I moved here? Let me tell you Movie pass when I moved here in my monopoly. I feel like I'm talking too much I feel like I'm monopolizing the conversation. This is not rising. No monopolizing. Thank you. We are We already know that AT&T is taking you. So then now what did you do? No, literally, I like fucking had a movie pass. I loved it. I love movies. I love cinema I saw it's problematic now given the army hammer news and The themes of the movie But maybe I saw call me by your name in theaters eight times because I was depressed That was the only thing that made me feel something because Italy in the summer is beautiful And when timothy shall may cries into the fireplace as a souffle and steven song plays I moved here and I lived in the amy and mewler Which is right across from that alamo and where I was in my like bedroom I could check into my movie from my bed and then like walk over there and watch a movie When that's all you I was going to the movie theater like every day for like the five months movie pass Was still happening while I was here. It was it was I was with the big brain plays that that's the play right there. That's the life I wish I was doing that. Yeah, dude. I saw that I saw um, I saw oh god.

It's it's very big step on me energy Big step on massive step on me Yeah, it's like, um, yeah, no, I confuse them all the time. It's fine What were we talking about? Well, I wanted I wanted to talk about um, uh, what is it? A couple of the things we got on here wandavision. Um, we asked before we were watching wandavision and uh That has been a thing. So five episodes are out now Um on disney plus and it is the new entry into the next phase of marvel And the recent episode actually had a huge like reveal So, uh, we're probably just going to talk about mawn division if you guys, uh, don't want spoilers. Uh, whoops, sorry Skip over this one But if you want to hear niki and kayla talk, then you should probably stay Because we're going to talk about wandavision. Um It's murder You guys if you're watching and niki you're very much like, oh my god, I love it. I'm I'm so obsessed Oh, yeah, what do you like about it? I love that so first off I didn't know what to expect because I didn't look into it at all. I was like wandavision. I was like, okay I'm there done Um, so the first episode I had no idea what was happening, which I think that's everybody Second episode I was giving it but I still didn't really have a clue but like Over time like I love how it's just slowly revealing the plot Which I guess everything does I don't I don't know how to explain how I love or why I love it But it's so good. Um, you like the pacing. Yeah. Yeah, I like the pacing I like how they're slowly revealing this information, but they're still giving you a lot in every episode There's too much information Is it I don't feel as overloaded with this as I do with like the movies Um Like for me wandavision is the show where like real talk I'm watching and then every two minutes I am pausing because I'm looking up like all types of theories or like Marvel wiki or whatever because I'm like, okay. I I need to understand this or whatever I need to know what house of m is. I need to know what all this other stuff is that I haven't read in the comments attention the past 18 years of marvel movies. That's all I'm saying 96 hours of every single The the MCU I've watched all those movies a million times, but this one is this show is awesome Go ahead. Issa. What are you gonna say? Well, I was gonna be like no, well, is that just your problem now at this point? You know, like you're You can't focus know everything and like not focusing. I'm kind of just like is that the reason why you don't watch anything new anymore No, well, I can't it's it's definitely the reason why I won't get into like one piece I don't have time for 9,000 episodes I don't have that. Oh, well, like what's wrong with just like experiencing it and then just thinking about it later Thinking about it later. Who does that? Literally everyone else That's why everyone comes together after the show to talk now I gotta go now Issa are you a marvel? Are you MCU fan? Um, yeah, I could I I'd say I'm an MCU fan. I'm a uh, I've watched I remember watching the first Iron Man. I think in theaters and that was um, that was dope Sick, uh, I don't read the comics though that I think that's the one thing that I'm like not as like nerdy about Um, but I'm the kind of fan that definitely read fan fiction for it Who hasn't I used to write Harry Potter fanfiction. So I get that Who was your ship? Oh, um, so I don't want to talk about this Okay We got the camera on you. I know who was your ship and why was it Ginny and Luna? It wasn't because I'm not a lesbian. I'm sorry. Kayla. I love you though No, but um, so I'm gonna reveal something about myself and I just really I need your support and your love right now Okay, I love your juice Yeah, I know the weasley's So my favorite. I love him. No, not Hermione. She okay Ron self-insert me and my friends would write us ourselves in So Of course What'd you say? No, is that gonna say something heinous? I mean, are we are we we're supposed to support Kayla. So you can't say anything. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah We're supposed to support Nikki. Sorry mom. No, I am supporting Nikki. I want to make her feel better Okay. Oh, what are you gonna say? Um, that reminded me of uh, I was on instagram and I saw that one of my friends from middle school had Just had a second baby and all I could think about was the squidward x plankton fanfic She wrote when we were in middle school and I and the fact that she just has two humans to raise now I find that Crazy, I do feel so much better two babies I said better because I don't have babies More do I have? It's because it's yeah, it's better because you wrote something respectable And like I'm the same age as him like in real life So I feel like it's less weird for me to insert myself in that fanfic Then from someone to take a delightful children's show well kind of children's show and make it just Smutty Yeah, you were just like explaining that you wanted to kiss a boy That's all it was I was Like the tweet said I wasn't funny or I wasn't kissing boys in middle school. So now I'm kind of funny now Yeah, I was writing fanfics about kissing boys. I just wasn't actually doing it. It's fine. Exactly. Exactly I like how we started about Wanda vision We immediately went to harry potter Exactly how much it go Wanda vision I'll tell you what I love about Wanda vision. I'll tell you I love about Wanda. So I just One I'm a huge huge. Uh, I love lucy fan I think I love lucy was probably in my opinion one of the best comedies of that like black and white tv era So like I really appreciated like how The cinematography the lighting all of that stuff They really nailed it and then like they'll hit you with those moments that feel real like um X files creepy type of vibe, you know, I mean like and then you can tell because like camera wise they kind of switch from this like Like what is it a Stage type of thing with the with the live studio audience type of vibe with the laugh track But then they switch into this like cinematic view while still keeping it that way And then like I just love how every time they change decades and they change from you know decade of sitcom to sitcom There's just really nailed it like like in the last one definitely had the The like what is it a Like full house vibes. Yeah, really like growing pains vibes a special episode that theme song was off the chain I was all about this and then just like again like all the information like all of the like Easter egg and nuance that they like shove into like a That episode was like what like 40 something minutes. I think but like everything You know the theme song had like special lyrics that that really spoke about what's happening in like in Wanda's mind And like it's just it's it's uh I don't know man. Like they're just they're just hitting it out of damn park It's it's off the chain. I don't want to get into spoilers because man, it's too damn good But yeah, like the reveal they had at the end. Hmm. Man. That was that was dope The spoilers, I mean I was trying to be respectful. I guess if you want to you can but I mean it hasn't even been a week since last episode though And like I do appreciate though that like Disney plus at least with this show and like the Mandalorian they've adopted back to the whole like one episode a week Versus like the whole binge. I'm not gonna lie. I'm digging I'm digging the whole like you gotta wait a week and just let it like slow burn. Well, they're right, bro No instant gratification Wait, wait, we say it again. Nikki's like instant gratification It's about the now, baby Like I want to binge it. I'm if I wasn't so into it, I would stop watching until the end of the season So I could just binge it. Oh my god That's how I watch tv now I just watched community over and over again. That's what I do. Yeah, that's the move really There's um, uh, what is it? There's something that about wand vision that they're Doing really well and it's that they're making everything creepy in the way that it's supposed to be or like everything Everything about it has that like hitting connotation, but that's what makes it so like Delightfully horrific. Yeah, and I think that's that's something that is uh that that they're hitting that I think is really really well done But it's also interesting because you it's another way of audience interaction because you have to know the context on top of it as well Um, so it almost like it rewards you or it rewards the audience with like, oh, so you know this little bit Well, here's that feeling that you're getting now So it's just like those layers of context that I think is really interesting and really smart Like you don't have to know about house of m or you don't have to know about like wanda's kids Because I know about billy because um, he's a big Uh gay character in the comics verse from what I remember Um, so billy wanda's son is a huge Canon character, but if you don't know about it, then it's like oh well You don't have to but everything is always like more rewarding for people who know more So that's what I always appreciate about mcu. I think What I what I think is like You actually, you know what don't even worry about it because I had a brain fart And I was like gonna come in and like really be like, oh man I'm about to add to that and then I was like, no You forgot what you were gonna say. Hold on. Hold on. No, okay. I got it. I got it. I got it. I'm back. I'm back What I really dig that Disney or marvel or what what like whoever I assume it's like kevin feige at the end of the day But I've always had this weird disdain firm the dissonance between like the the budgets that You know certain franchises put in their movies and then when they move to like shows So like You know the the like flash and like aro verse I I always had a hard time getting into those because like you could see this clear Like budgetary distinction like you're almost kind of like the costumes kind of look a certain way It kind of feels a certain way, but like with the mcu This feels like you're just watching like a longer movie just broken up, you know Like 30 minutes each week, but they are like hitting that whole uh, I guess just standard I guess is the word i'm looking for or whatever, but kale you already say something I was gonna say that I don't think daddy would want you to say that Well, I said it I don't think daddy would like me I'm being real maybe maybe maybe daddy needs to put put me in a in a director's seat And then the level like walking going is murder It's gonna be like yeah, I'm gonna write myself into this plot Because I want to kiss this person Me writing myself in episodes of black lightning Have you been watching black lightning? I only saw the first season on it. Oh my god I'm like, okay. I'm like one season behind and like that's another one of those shows who um Shoot, it's another one of the things shot in atlanta And watching it is so hard for me because literally the entire first season I'm just like y'all weren't on a date. That's the general classroom building of my college Or like this isn't this isn't a cracked in this is literally the apartment complex That is very expensive that my friend lived that it has a very nice rooftop and in in a hookah place underneath it Oh, you guys aren't in new york city now or whatever it is in dc Like this is a metropolis. This is literally just broad street Like i'm just like it pulled like watching stuff filmed in atlanta pulls me out A like really bad sometimes like venom. Oh my god. It was so like I loved venom But there were just moments where I was just like, ah fuck that's This isn't san francisco. This is that's my mom's building. My mom works in that building She's on the ninth floor working in that building. I used to work in that building It but other than that it's a lovely show. I think everyone should watch it. I think they They didn't cancel it, but I think um, what's your name? Uh stepped out for the most recent season. I don't know why Yeah, the oldest daughter the younger daughter the young. Oh really? The disney star one. Yeah. Oh the disney. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, I mean, I'll say this kala like I marvel I don't think they in the beginning when they started doing the shows I don't think they were hitting out of the park all the time, you know, like if you want to go to the like Oh, man iron fist like what is that? Uh, do you don't even want to don't even worry about it? Don't I don't I'm not a I'm not a marvel person like at all. This is not a daddy bug I just don't care. They had their they had their whole little like defenders thing, you know where it had like, you know Oh, they were trying to like legends of tomorrow it Yeah, exactly. Yeah, you know a superior franchise. Yeah, you know, you have like daredevil Punisher all those Jessica Jones, which Jessica Jones to me was great That was a hit And then, you know luke cage I had issues with that See again, they they learned and then now wandavision in my opinion is like it's it's so far It's perfect. They learned they needed a disney budget not a Netflix budget Exactly Okay, but if you if you need a budget to make a good series, this is the good series. I'm kidding. I love wandavision. It's so good It's so good. Well, all I'm saying is that I have more fun watching the like air over stuff I'm not stressed like wandavision like marvel stresses me out sometimes like this is too much Like I didn't do the research. I didn't do the homework I only saw a black panther in theaters because it was black like I don't know what's going on The last the last marvel movie I willingly went to see it was like The second avengers the second avengers Did you see like a video or a second avengers the age of ultron one? Yes age of ultron. So like I knew who so I was like, oh That's the red dude from age of ultron weird Wait iron man the red dude Isn't vision a little nervous And he turns into the vision than that one I think yeah, and then I didn't see anything after that except for like Thor Ragnarok Black panther and some spider-man's Uh Wondering mind five mentioned agent Carter. That was my show and I was so bitter when they canceled it It was so good I'm guessing nobody else was on the agent Carter tip I Watched it too. Nikki. It just wasn't like I wasn't as attached to it as a everyone else was though I don't know what it was about that show, but I loved every moment of it. I love the costumes I love the acting. I love the people that they cast it. I love that show How many seasons was it on for it's only one like they only have like 13 episodes I was like a mini series I thought it was too, but yeah, maybe it is just when it there's not enough in my opinion Yeah, I think a lot of people were From what I remember it was like super disappointing that they canceled it because they really could have like expanded on it But they really nipped that in the bud like really quickly, which I was really upset by I thought it was I thought it was neat Even if I didn't like like it as much as other stuff I thought that they had a huge avenue to like explore on it and Maybe disney'll reboot it or something or pick it back up I mean, are any of y'all excited about like the like the new shows like uh, like what is it falcon and winter soldier? Are any of y'all excited about those? I just hope it's like a buddy cop film. That's that's all I want I just wanted to be buddy cop like good cop bad cop They're always like ragging on each other till eventually they just win at the end of every episode That's the only way I'll watch it The only way I'll watch it is if it's like the cancelled fox, uh, buddy cop series the good guys which features Collin Hanks in the other one And see back to what you were saying before they filmed that in dallas too like in deep elem and I used to live there and I'd be like Nah, that's not there. I was like, that's where I got super wasted that That's where they found me on the sidewalk. That's not where that's it I like that though Like I like seeing a place that I've been in a show or a movie even if it's not where the setting actually is Okay I like pausing it and trying to go like nah and then like going to google maps and then trying to like replicate the exact angle Like that's what I like doing But it's only because rarely anything is ever really shot in in dallas like lately Like if you talk to people in dallas, they will talk your head off about robocop like anyone It's like bro. That was filmed in the 80s dog. No one cares No, no the original like no one cares about robocop dog No one cares and then like the last thing that was filmed was like It was the x-men show like the pilot. I don't know what it was called. It was one of the x-men Shows that eventually got canceled and I got a chance to work on it, but it was under the table So I can't talk about it too much. What's your initiative? What are they gonna do? You work for daddy? That's like What What I'm not allowed to refer also by the way warner media is daddy papa's at&t this I refer to them differently. Yeah, it's important. So the station is important. Mr. Media is Anyway We had one thing left to talk about but I don't think we're gonna get there right? He's a lot of time, but um, oops I'm sorry. Watch watch space weepers everyone on that I forgot about that. No, I watched it right before this thing talk about it It's murder. That's what it is Watched space weepers form an opinion on it and then we can talk about it eventually, but it's on Netflix So, um, it's a Korean they describe it as Korea's first space blockbuster um It's surprisingly more international than you may think. Uh, they legit have a guy speaking jamaican patois on it and I was just like It took me so long to figure out what he was speaking Me too. I would it only wasn't until like I think midway when they did like the plot twist and I was like, wait Yes Are you talking about the dude that they gave like subtitles for? Yeah, but like but with him I was like, wait, how come I can understand this but I I was like, do I know another language? There was one that confused me though because it was the woman um, like the blonde woman in the first scene or whatever He's talking to her and when she talks it says in german But she's talking in english. I was so confused and it's like that the entire movie Yeah, I will say this Man Koreans not only are they beautiful people physically, but they are killing they are killing the movie game They're they're killing the american They are killing it all like I will say I got into watching uh sweet home, which is a live action adaptation of the uh webtoons Oh my goodness. I I had to binge that one in like a day and then I got a chance to to watch a kingdom By the way, if you haven't seen kingdom kingdom is based if you hasn't seen the show kingdom If you like the walking dead and if you like k dramas, that's basically it is the walking dead taking place In feudal korea off the dump. So in this movie space I just I just want to I just want to make movies in korea now. Like they're just doing such a phenomenal job And again, they're very very attractive people. I can't I korea has been Surpassing the american industry ever since they started doing k-pop videos. I honestly, I mean their wi-fi is so fast And that is that's not a weird thing I was reading this thing the other day about how fast other country's internet is and I was like, are you fucking kidding me? Like we're over here with like fucking dirt shit dsl Fucking like connections and they're just like no the government sponsored like gigabit for every household and it's free and I'm just like Compared to ours.
