0:38 Madison doesn't like ice cubes in the house.

0:43 You got to shout at her like Paul Atreides did to Florence. Yeah.

0:47 Where's the ice cubes?

0:51 Giving her the voice.

0:52 Yeah, forcing her down. Ladies and gentlemen, in tandem with joining the Patreon, some members that are a part of the Patreon community, these are fantastic folks, and I have to shout them out here. We got Patreon producers, April of Darkness, Jack Grant, Superbad Mike, TheGoodGodLovesMe69, aka Norman Reedus Fetus, Hidalgo, Cocktail Clay, John with no H, Sam Green, John M, Matthew Fletcher, and Summer Hansi. You guys are amazing. And you guys all have access to the exclusive Discord. You can check out, well, not exclusive Discord, but everyone can join the Discord. But there's a Patreon Producers channel in our Discord for the Patreon Producers, which is a fun little place to talk and share things and whatnot. But

1:37 other than that, we've got tons of discussion channels for everything else, including we'll have one for Avengers Doomsday. We've got one for Dune. So we can just get into the nitty-gritty. You guys can talk to us directly, and we can just share thoughts and have a lot of fun. But yeah. Without further ado, let's see here. What do we have next for a wonderful talking point? We got Render's Doomsday.

2:00 I said it right there.

2:00 Holy smokes. Now, you saw this teaser, right, for the World Series?

2:06 Yeah. You've been watching the World Series?

2:09 No. I don't know anything about it, but I know it's baseball.

2:12 It's baseball. That is right. Are you a baseball guy?

2:15 Not at all. Okay.

2:17 I'd like to go in person. at some point i feel like it'd be a cool experience but uh i'm definitely an avengers guy though and i did watch the teaser trailer or whatever they had here um yeah it's all right i nothing got my juices really flowing i feel like it uh middle middle ground middle ground comedic beat really yeah do you think that's actually steve or is it fake steve Should I say this? Should I say this? Do you want me to say it? You know stuff, don't you? You were on the phone with Chris Evans.

2:55 I've heard things. Yeah.

2:56 Okay. There's my answer.

3:03 Fuck, no. I won't do it. You can't make me do it. I won't do it. You're like Dobby.

3:06 I'm trying to ask you questions about the Chamber of Secrets. Chamber of Secrets. Yeah. Yeah.

3:15 Stupid, stupid things.

3:16 He, like, beat himself with a fucking lamp.

3:18 Yeah.

3:21 Harry Potter must not go back to Hogwarts. Yeah, that's right.

3:26 I like your question. I'll say that. Like, you know, is it Steve? Is it not Steve? And I'm not saying I have, like, the answers. I'm just saying, like, there's definitely some rumors and discussions surrounding, like, oh, maybe it's this, maybe it's that. So, yeah, it's good.

3:38 I like the fake Steve theory. Fake Steve theory? Evil Steve theory.

3:43 Yeah.

3:43 That's what I'm going with. Yeah.

3:45 So, I mean, with this footage, it definitely got me pretty stoked. And Travis sent me, too, a little bit of an extra clip, too, of Ant-Man talking. And it's funny to see how there are multiple Captain Americas in the room, right? Because you've got Wyatt Russell, Sam Wilson, and Steve Rogers. So it's actually really, really... It's comedic in all the right ways. It's exactly a scene that I wanted to see. But that's about it. It really doesn't kind of dive into anything super crazy. It's very quick. Yeah, absolutely.

4:24 But the main juicy thing here that we're going to be talking about is Ghost Rider. Hell yes. It's going to be shot on film.

4:33 Big deal.

4:34 Yeah, so when I say film, that's what Christopher Nolan shoots on.

4:41 Oh, my gosh.

4:42 That's what Tarantino shoots on. You know, they use film.

4:44 Well, doesn't Nolan, like, specifically use, like, IMAX film so it's, like, different in a way?

4:48 He specifically uses something fancy that is film, yes. I could not name it specifically, but you are right. I don't think they're doing IMAX film for Ghost Rider, but I do love the idea that they are going to be using film because, I mean, you can see a noticeable difference between digital and film. So I think this fit the tone beautifully.

5:09 I like it.

5:10 Beautifully.

5:11 It's a positive for sure.

5:13 Dune 3 cinematographer is also joining the ship. So that's really, really good. We were talking about Dune 3 and talking about how beautiful that trailer was. Connor Story. You know Connor Story. Big fan, right?

5:26 I do.

5:26 Yes.

5:27 He was in Heated Rivalry. Do you know who this is?

5:32 No fucking clue. But I was just yanking your chain and you just fucking owned it.

5:37 He popped off because of the success of that show. I think it's still going. Shay watched that show. She really loved that show. So I had seen him clapping some cheeks here and there. Yeah. Look into it, Taylor. You seemed interested when I just said that. So maybe you should check it out.

5:54 Yeah. So how do you think as a villain? Is he going to be clapping cheeks as the bad guy?

5:59 I hope so. That's what the MCU needs. I think he's really good, and I'm excited to see him in something that I will probably watch because I don't partake in heated rivalry, but I just see it on the side when Shay's re-watching or whatnot. But no, I think he is good. I think he's extremely popular, so getting him with the project can only... be a positive like like the fans of his of him and that show like i'm sure some of them will at least come out to support um ghost rider just because just because he's a part of it so that's a positive and as a villain like i i think that's i think that's cool i think i have no idea who he'd be playing i really don't know much about ghost rider um like his villains or anything like that beyond what

6:53 i've seen And even what I've seen with Nicolas Cage, I couldn't even tell you who the villain is of those movies. But yeah, I think that's a positive. So far, it's been positive on the film, positive on the cinematographer, positive on this parent. That's three positives, Taylor. What else do you got for me on this Ghost Rider news?

7:13 Well, they're not going to be going to Mephisto. I mean, this guy's been playing a different villain.

7:17 That's a positive.

7:18 That's a positive.

7:19 Okay, cool.

7:19 I mean, you never... I know you never saw Ironheart and I need to make a point of actually finishing it just so I'm on top of all the live action projects and the MCU. But I mean, Sacha Baron Cohen as Mephisto, and I've watched that scene on YouTube. He is just, he's so fantastic. He, I love the idea of him being the villain.

7:38 And so do you wish he was in this project then the ghostwriter? I, you.

7:45 Know, part of me does, and I'm sure maybe he could cameo. I wouldn't doubt it whatsoever. Um, But in terms of people appearing in projects, I just want Ryan Gosling's Ghost Rider to appear in Avengers Doomsday.

7:59 That's what I would like.

8:01 I feel like it kind of fits the bill with the MCU where, hey, we just have a guy pop in on the side and then we give him his main movie after the fact, like Black Panther, like Spider-Man. Yeah, that's just kind of a reoccurring theme that they got going on. But yeah, so we also got Sandra Huller. Now, are you a Sandra Haller fan?

8:28 I wouldn't say I'm a fan of hers, but everything that I've seen her in, I think she's been really good. I think the most recent one would have been Project Hail Mary. Yeah, I saw this announcement because it's like an unknown role that she's playing. Yeah. Yeah, like could she be attached to Doom in a way? a significant character in his world i i don't know um i trust that she's gonna put out a very awesome performance so i really hope that they give her uh some some good script to to work with some good writing around her character because i i know that she can bring it i think she brings a lot of uh i don't even know what would i call it some some heart to the roles that she plays at least she had an effect for myself when I watched Project

9:21 Hail Mary. I thought she was really great in that. Did you watch Digger? No, I haven't seen Digger.

9:26 She is in Digger as well.

9:29 Okay. Have you seen Digger? No, I've not.

9:31 I'd like to, you know, devoid of all the negativity that it seems to have at the box office.

9:41 Yes. I don't know if I'll see Digger. Maybe one day. I'm just, My peak interest was like weeks, if not months ago, and I feel like it's... subsided now since the uh not so great positive talk at the box office as you said uh maybe that affected my my thoughts yeah that's fair what do you think about sandra holler big fan i mean i love project hill mary.

10:08 I do love project hill mary and i think that's fantastic that uh you know she does have a role in here my mind kind of goes to maybe one of the latverian witches that's kind of associated.

10:16 With doom Like those three that we saw.

10:19 Yes. Unless those are color coded to be like Clea and Scarlet Witch.

10:24 And, um, who's the last one? Oh, there was an orange one, right? Yeah. Yeah.

10:30 There's Sylvie. I think Clea and then maybe Scarlet Witch or purple, red and green.

10:36 He thinks. Yeah.

10:38 Why did I think there was a fourth one for orange?

10:41 I can't remember, but Power Rangers.

10:44 Power Rangers. That's right. Um, Yeah, I think there's definitely room for an actress of her caliber because she was really awesome in Project Hail Mary. I really, really liked her a lot. So that is exciting. I'm down for that. Continuing on with the MCU here, and hence my nickname, you know, Sir Dunk the Tall, Peter Claffey, has been cast as Beast. Did anyone draft him, do you know?

11:13 Fuck, I should have. I should have, Taylor Fields. Let me see. Let me pull it up. I remember, I think it was you and me, actually. We were discussing this. We were, actually.

11:26 You're absolutely right. We were talking about it. But I don't think anyone drafted it.

11:33 No. Why would I not pick this guy, Taylor? You're so fantastic. God, my list is just terrible. They're not terrible. They're not terrible.

11:46 It's one of those things where it's like, okay, well, there's like five people in the running for Beast, you know, just like all the X-Men characters, right? It's hard to kind of get that gauge.

11:58 I digress. Now that I'm sad that I didn't draft him. But no, I was really excited to see this. I was excited at the speculation, like the rumored cast list or... who they had in the running I remember being really positive on him specifically for that role and I think he's going to be great I think it's going to be a really awesome pairing I think he can do a lot of things he's definitely got a lot of I feel like at the end of the day like Beast is a very intellectual character but I think he's got like a lot of heart in pretty much every rendition that I've seen him in I feel like I get that quality from him doesn't matter if it's Kelsey Grammer Grammer? Why did that sound weird when I said that? Grammer?

12:38 Kelsey Grammer? Kelsey Grammer That sounds better whether it's his version or the X-Men 97 version. I feel like that character just has a lot of heart and likability features to him, and Peter Claffey definitely has that. I think you got that from Sir Dunk the Tall. I don't think I've seen him in anything else, but I think it's going to be an awesome, awesome performance, and I am excited to see.

13:05 It gets me pretty jazzed just to see all these X-Men castings of just people that, again, I haven't seen peter clafey and anything else but i just can appreciate how you have people like indy hitting it off with obsession peter clafey hitting it off with uh night of the seven kingdoms and then all of a sudden they're landing awesome mcu roles and not just like side characters like significantly big roles with the mcu leading into that next phase as the the next main x-men so I think that's super cool and I couldn't be happier with this casting because I loved him in Night of the Seven Kingdoms. He really, really was fantastic in there. Really carried that show quite hard. I mean, I think I said that on the reviews, but that show is easily

13:51 I feel like it's my favorite Game of Thrones project because it's just it's got heart, it's got comedy and greediness and violence and so many other things going for it. So, yeah, he's going to really, really bring his A game and play a really, really good beast. Um, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. Uh, I think that is it for all of our MCU news, unless there's anything else you want to add to that.

14:18 Do you think he's going to be human version and blue? You think he's going to be just blue? Do you think it's going to be mostly human version and then eventually go blue? What are we thinking? That's a good question.

14:31 I think he's going to just be blue right out of the gate. Yeah. I don't think they're going to do that first class thing. I think, yeah, they'll keep him, make him blue. I think that'll just make it so he's easily recognizable and people can just latch on. Yeah. I don't think you need to go too far into his backstory. Just he's beast.

14:49 Here we go.

14:50 Right. Yeah.

14:51 Yeah. That's fair. I could see it going either way, but like not necessarily the, uh, first class thing where he's like not blue the whole time, but just like maybe right at the start or maybe you just get a flashback. But yeah, I think, yeah, Either way, it'll be majority blue claffy.

15:08 Yeah. Cool. All right.
