Street Fighter Spoilers Review

0:00 This past week, Street Fighter released.

0:02 I was going to say at the time I reluctantly agreed to it.

0:07 I didn't.

0:07 I was happy to agree to it. Like, oh, let's review this. We got Cody. We got Roman. Sure. I'd say now I'd go.

0:14 I reluctantly agree with it.

0:17 I go first because I know I'm more negative. This was like a. I've said this before. This was a waterboarding type of movie experience for me. Now, I can see someone still enjoying this and having fun with it. I understand.

0:30 I'm also not a Street Fighter guy, but I think this was.

0:34 All over the map.

0:35 I agree with S-Pubs and other people who said this, that it's just the music spamming is crazy, crazy. And it's not even the way where, because I know there's tons of people. that hate the Deadpool Wolverine music spanning. But the reason I don't mind that.

0:48 That is nowhere near as close to this.

0:51 But like the reason I like that one too, because it feels like it fits the vibe. They're trying to go for like, oh, the direct early 2000s when we were fans growing up with Jackman and wanted to see this crossover stuff. This movie just has like, from all eras. So I don't want to go too much. We go back and forth. I definitely, I wish I saw some alone with like two other guys. I saw like a 10 PM, whatever. Like I, like there's like two other guys in the theater. One guy, I think was enjoying it.

1:17 One guy was dead silent the whole time. So I don't know why he was there, but.

1:19 One guy, he was enjoying himself.

1:21 Um, so I'm not sure what other, like a raucous crowd would have been. I would have been better to see this with somebody, but I just had to see it that time. Um, and, uh, Yeah, I definitely will never watch this again. I did expect better from Mr.

1:38 Reynolds, Corey Rhodes.

1:40 I will stand by that. I think his very first scene where we meet him, I think that's actually good. He has his BTE energy there. He has that there.

1:50 And then.

1:51 something happens in the rest of those takes where he didn't have it i saw what they're going for but i also don't know if this is on him or on the writing and the movie because i did not find this movie funny at all there's not a single time i fucking genuinely laughed in this so this was this was a fucking this was.

2:06 A tough watch for me i suppose this was a this was a.

2:08 Homelander in the theater experience for me of.

2:11 Like what am i doing why am i here but uh Yeah. What do you think about this?

2:14 Yeah.

2:14 For me, it's like, I agree with everything you said, but at the same time, I don't know. There's just like something there to get me over the point of like still enjoying it. But like, I still felt all the things that you felt like, definitely like.

2:27 The music's family.

2:27 Like, I said in my Letterboxd review, like, this was, like, and a lot of things about this movie I could say are similar. Like, Suicide Squad 2016, where, like, every single scene has a licensed song.

2:37 And, like, they'll cut to one to the other. Yeah. With, like, nothing in between.

2:41 Like, in the final fight of the Kuma, and it cuts to Rob Zombie, like, more human than human.

2:45 And, like. this is where we're going here we don't have.

2:47 Any there's only there's only one scene with a licensed song we're like i don't know if it even fit the scene but i just like the song so i like the scene uh but most of the time it's just like and the the 50s that one did make me laugh when they.

3:02 Dropped that one we're in full spoilers by the way people have not i'll put in the title if you have not seen street fire but like your other scene or not there's nothing to spoil in this movie yeah yeah.

3:15 There's like no there i mean there's barely a story in this movie it's just like a compilation of scenes happening with like nothing in between and it's funny because i was thinking before watching the movie i was thinking of the trailer and like thinking of the scenes in the trailer because one of the trailers i really like and i've watched a bunch of times but i was like Nothing in this trailer tells me the story besides this just being, like, various scenes.

3:40 And then the movie is just that.

3:41 The movie is just that.

3:43 It's, like, six movies in one. And not in the way where, like, oh, all these storylines. No, there's so much going on. And not in a way where you can't understand it.

3:48 You understand it all. It's just, like, here's a plot line. And then here's a plot line.

3:53 There's also the flashbacks, too. Like, they're well animated. But it's, like, every five minutes there is a flashback.

4:00 They definitely did that just to save budget in certain situations. Like, well, we can't shoot this scene, so let's do that.

4:05 And I like it.

4:05 Even then, I think I would have liked it, like, I think a fix for it, if you just put all of it together in the beginning as, like.

4:12 A prologue.

4:13 I think so.

4:13 Just, like, all the flashbacks, just put them all together as, like, the first, like, maybe that doesn't, I don't know. I'm sure there's some, like, audience test, audience metric that's, like, oh, they're confused that it's not an animated movie because the first 15.

4:26 Minutes are animated.

4:27 But I think it would have flowed better rather than, like, Ryu walks down a street and it's like, oh, this happened.

4:33 Then he flashbacks to it. Then three minutes later, Ken gets a flashback of it. It just happens constantly.

4:40 When he's telling Ken the big reveal that he threw away his fighting token or whatever, and then they flip right back to the anime, it's like, did.

4:48 No one get real scenes here? I wish the whole movie was that.

4:52 I wish the whole movie was just the anime stuff and had them voicing it.

4:56 That was fun, but Yeah, there was a lot of it.

4:58 It just felt like someone watched Kill Bill and was like, let's do that a bunch.

5:02 Yeah, let's do all their origins.

5:03 Yeah, the chronological, out of order stuff, but like for no reason.

5:08 And let's have all their origins be animated. And yeah, for me, the mini-man, I knew what this movie was already at that point, but when the 50 cent mini-man, it hits when 50 cent is on screen. That's where that, okay, this isn't even tongue in cheek. This just feels like it's like, they just thrown in the white towel, like, oh, let's just put a mini-man in there. That's just like, and that's where it's just like, times this movie because there's a time where like Chung Lee who I think was the best part in this.

5:31 Movie she actually was good I actually agree with that and.

5:33 Not just because she's attractive like she had the roll down it was fun she goes to kick Bison and Bison catches it and he turns her foot and he smells it they give him like a foot fetish in this fucking movie why I don't know but there's times where they do that and I just wish that because like Mortal Kombat I think struck like a cheesy action 90s vibe and they stuck that more in the first one this at times many scenes feel like a parody of Street Fighter and I feel like they would have been better just to, like, almost go fully into that, where it was almost, like, scary movie, like, top secret, Top Gun.

6:04 Sort of level where... We're going to go more– it's tough because the guy– I can't remember his name, but he's in Bolt Train.

6:10 The guy playing Ryu, he's like in a.

6:12 Completely different movie.

6:14 That's like a real serious tone, like I got to avenge my father and my friend.

6:17 But then the rest of the movie is all very over the top.

6:20 It's Guile always talking about how attractive people are and how sexy they are. And that's where the strongest– I thought something could have been there if they just made this like, hey, we're going to do Street Fighter, but we're going to have cool fight scenes, but we're going to make it more like a parody.

6:31 We're going to go that route, and it's not. It's like sometimes it's an action movie. Sometimes it's a comedy.

6:35 And even then, like, I was very disappointed by, like, the action scenes.

6:40 Because, I mean, like, the ones you do see, you see, like, 30 seconds of them.

6:44 And then they literally, like.

6:45 They did a, they pretty much did a no contest DQs on the half of the tournament where you don't even see the match. uh but yeah uh yeah there's just so much and it's like so much happens but nothing happens at the same time and like weird stuff like the movie is just like very weird weird choices being made like it's just a very strange movie.

7:09 The best way i compare it to is like also like i said the waterborne thing but i think it just feels like you're in a like a automatic car wash and it's like.

7:17 You're just getting sprayed by stuff.

7:19 The thing's washing you and then like those wipers go up and then another one comes down and they come at you and then those wipers go up and the ones from the back. Like that's what this movie feels like where it's all happening at once and not in a good way where it's all constructed. But again, I can see why people might have fun with that. I saw a lot of people like. uh not liking david elshamachan in the movie i actually did like him as bison i guess like i'll see people i'm being bigger but i i thought for what this movie was going for he fit for what the like the bison they wanted um and yeah speak about i saw your letterboxd people cory roads you know.

7:50 Yeah i didn't think he was he was good in this but at the same time like you said it's like I think it is very much, you know, the fault of the material as well. But, like, that first scene, you said you liked it. For me, it was just, like, it was, not that it was, like, too weird, but, like, it was too weird.

8:07 Like, it was just, like, I don't know.

8:11 Yeah. But just, like, I don't know, just, like, the way he was talking, because he's, like, putting on a voice or, like, something to, like, be guile, but, like, it was just too weird for me who's, like, seen Cody talk too much, I guess. Maybe for, like, Someone who hasn't seen him before and like doesn't know what he normally sounds like.

8:29 It might not be as weird. I don't know. It was just like, there's just something off about it.

8:33 I felt bad for him because a few podcasts I listen to that have no idea who Cody Rhodes.

8:37 Is, they're like, this guy is not... He's not a good actor.

8:39 Some of them are talking about him being an X-Men. You better not be an X-Men.

8:43 I think they're... And don't get me wrong. Even then, too, people are.

8:47 It's bad timing because of the pun thing, too. I keep seeing that fucking face reaction. I saw this trend on my algorithm of what even is this emotion that he's emoting here.

8:58 So it's a bad week for Cody Rhodes in the acting department. But I think... I think there is something still there. Again, you watch BT. I've always thought he can be a great comedic actor.

9:08 I thought him and Adam Cole, those are always the two that I was like, oh, they actually could have a career doing elsewhere.

9:12 So I think Cody could still do it.

9:14 And I did like the opening scene because it was weird, but it felt like him doing the like, what are you doing, Tommy Bahama?

9:19 Like, it felt like he was channeling some of that. But then there was times too where... Man, when Ryu came in the bar, like, the next scene, and Ken's like, oh, this is going to get interesting. Oh, what's going to happen?

9:30 It just felt like they had him in there, and he's like, okay, you know, do some of your own lines here, and we'll film them and have them there.

9:39 Yeah, like, you know, we paid him, like, a little more, because he's, like, a WC, so, like, we're going to make him say lines, and that's where it's like, That's where I go, like, no one can sell those lines. The whole, like, oh, this is gonna get crazy. You know, like, no, like, okay, not nobody, but you need to be the best of the best. And Cody's still, like, you know, newer on the big frontier. Obviously, he's taking acting lessons. So I still got faith. I still saw some stuff for my...

10:00 my American nightmare that could pull off, but has been a better project. And even the ending, like they just pull up and they're just like, we're going bison hunting. It's like, oh, and the ending is such a fucking weird mess where they like. they're built this whole time to fight bison that never happens so kuma just is it's weird that he's the side quest in this movie but he becomes the final boss in this movie like you would think that someone ryu beats and then he keeps going on no they beat him there and rome reigns i don't think he's awful but he's playing the equivalent of what kevin nash or triple h did in marvel of like in Blade and The Russian. I'd say better than that, but still just cool voice over, cool look.

10:39 He comes in like, I'm looking for you, Ryu.

10:43 Every line he said in this movie was in his acknowledge me voice.

10:47 Like that.

10:49 You've never been weaker than before i thought you were better than this i'd say.

10:53 Yeah well like he probably filmed for like one day and did one day voiceover and that's all he all he is in the dispersed throughout the entire.

11:01 Movie yeah so i again i don't think he was bad i think he's just like he was like almost anybody could do that role that's the thing where at least with cody i don't think anyone could do that on that role don't think it's great but i think there's I don't know.

11:14 I don't know.

11:17 I guess they can only defend its first scene. The rest of the movie, there's nothing really there. It's not really working, unfortunately. But, yeah, it just ends where they fight. And then randomly they have Ryu turn bad. And I think that happens in the game. But then we have a fight against Ryu. So, again, that's also very 2016 Suicide Squad where it's like, oh, shit, we've got to work together.

11:34 They turn bad.

11:35 And then Bison's escaping. He shoots an RPG. And I thought the movie was literally going to end when.

11:41 When he said game over and it cuts it back. Yeah. I don't know if I would have liked that.

11:46 I honestly might have liked that more just for how ridiculous sequel it would have been.

11:52 Even more than how it actually ended.

11:54 And that was another parody moment too. When Ryu's walk, he's like, I'm going to take my own path. And he has no shoes. And then he sits in the car. And here's another thing too. It all comes down to taste and whatnot. The whole movie I felt this way. But let's put it over the top. When he sits down, Ken's beside him. I can't remember what he says, but he wraps his arm around me and says, I love you, man.

12:13 I love you, man, like he's having his ear.

12:15 I am not a Noah Centennial guy. I don't get it. I don't see it. Now, here's the thing. I was talking about this to Emily because I'm watching below.

12:22 I was that way with Josh Hartnett when he was younger. I think when he's older, he's great. Sebastian Stan when he was younger, I didn't think he was a great actor.

12:28 Now I do. Right now, a Noah Centennial, anytime I've seen him, I just think he's the most.

12:32 I think he's fine to be in something, but him leading projects, I've never seen him in anything and been like, I see.

12:41 Now why he's the lead of this.

12:42 I did not enjoy Ken whatsoever in this movie. He was the second worst thing. I don't know if it's your worst thing. I'll let you talk about it first.

12:55 I have two things that I think could be worse here.

12:58 But Cannes for me was number two. I didn't like this. It just wasn't funny. I don't think that's all Noah Centennial's fault, but that's where I just... I haven't seen it.

13:06 With him to get why he's leading projects. I don't even know if I've seen.

13:12 Because I haven't seen any of those Netflix type stuff he was in.

13:16 I'm trying to think.

13:17 I saw one because Emily watched it.

13:18 I'm trying to think of stuff I would have seen him in. I honestly don't think I have.

13:22 He was almost in the He-Man movie. He dropped out of it, but he was cast before.

13:25 Yeah, I feel like I remember that. Yeah.

13:27 Which is funny. I feel like. There's like similar vibes going on there.

13:31 Yeah.

13:32 I probably, I do think I like, well, I liked He-Man more than this movie and I didn't even like it all that much.

13:39 Like He-Man, I look at, I know I don't probably like that movie, but I can see it's already like probably a better constructed movie than whatever.

13:46 Yeah.

13:46 That one has a story at least.

13:48 Yeah. That movie I just never understand when I see the fucking Skeletor clips. And this movie does that. There's a clip where Skeletor's like, own that big long thing dangling between your legs. And he's talking about a sword, but he's implying his genitals. They do that multiple times.

14:03 In this movie too. It's not offending me, but they're going for the homoeroticism. But it comes kind of out.

14:11 Of nowhere and it's yeah it's just very very like i said very weird and interesting movie and like a bad way of like how how did these choices happen uh but i guess i can talk i'll say i'll say the one that that annoyed me most and the other one that is bad but more funny and how bad it is but i'll talk like the the dan hibiki andrew schultz character was just like so it was just like In the movie, way too much. He's like the third most important character in this movie.

14:43 He's blackmailing somebody.

14:44 He's got some cred on somebody, and they're like, yeah, we gotta get Schultz in this.

14:49 Like, if he doesn't tell us, he's gonna get us cancelled. I'm like, yeah, okay, let's get Schultz in there.

14:55 And it's not like he's... It's not like he's, like, a terrible actor.

15:00 But it's just, like, yeah.

15:02 To recommend, like, all this stuff. It's not like with the guy who plays, like, Kano in the Mortal Kombat movie. It's like, oh, this guy's so fucking good. That's why Kano's, like, the fourth main character in this movie.

15:10 Because he's so good at this. We're like, Schultz.

15:13 And I'm not a Schultz fan, but, like, he wasn't bad, but he wasn't so good. Or it was like, oh, they cast Schultz, and they're like, oh, we got dynamite here.

15:19 And especially when they try to give him, like, you know, an emotional arc by the end. I'm like, I don't care about, like, you know, Ken's manager who's just, like, been here the whole time.

15:29 This is, like, the moral of the comment thing. They should have cut a bunch of these characters and saved them for, like, sequels. Also, you're not going to get the sequel. But, like, that's where there's just tons of stuff going on here where it's, like.

15:39 Even, like, Zankief. Like, I like that actor. He's a big guy.

15:42 He just, like, disappears halfway through the movie.

15:45 Like, the last thing.

15:46 Like, he has that scene in, like, Like, the bar, and after that, does he show up at all?

15:50 I feel like I don't remember him.

15:51 Don't you see him in the background of the tournament or something, maybe?

15:54 Maybe, but yeah, I feel like after that point, he's just, like, completely gone from the movie.

15:58 And here he is on the red carpet being like, yeah, I think this beats all those other video game adaptations.

16:03 People don't believe actors and directors. Never, never in the public. Never believe them when they're telling all this stuff.

16:08 But now, to the actual worst thing I thought of this movie is Jason Momoa as Blanca, a.k.a.

16:14 Jimmy. It was just.

16:17 Just, like, from the second he started talking, I was like, oh, this is bad.

16:21 Like, this is actually just awful.

16:24 This is like when actors star in a really bad kids movie. That sort of way where it's either their career's over or it's younger and they're like, oh, yeah, I did this fucking bad shit.

16:36 Like, I just try and get a name for myself.

16:38 Again, I don't know why, and I don't know why anyone would see this movie for Momoa, because he's barely in this, I agree, this was the worst thing, that segment with Ryu, felt like it went on forever, and it's not long, it's not that long, but his, like, one-liners, they're kind of giving him, like, a drag sort of innocent humor, where he doesn't understand some things, but it was, it was brutal, that entire thing, I was just like, Again, did someone blackmail Momoa to be Blanca?

17:05 Why is this happening?

17:07 I think this is more like someone heard that he liked Blanca.

17:12 It's like, oh, we have to get him in the movie now. We have a star.

17:17 And I think you're right. It's just whatever they were giving him here.

17:20 And also, I don't even know if it's what they're giving him.

17:22 I guarantee there's some of the stuff that's like.

17:24 This is Momoa ad-libs.

17:26 He's riffing on a level that's freaking sublime.

17:32 And that's how I feel, which is funny because Taika in that movie, I didn't actually date him in Free Guy.

17:36 Taika is better in Free Guy than a lot of people in this movie.

17:41 100%.

17:42 But that's how the way people meme on that clip, that's how I felt on Momoa here watching this stuff.

17:47 They thought they were... Again, with Schultz, they think they're cooking on some certain things. It's like, no, you're not. The flame is out. There's no flame here. This is cold. This food's cold. You've got to take it back and redo it. And again, that's what you got Momoa for. This is what you do.

17:59 And again, you're probably right. He just wanted to be there.

18:03 But it was.

18:04 yeah that that that uh the guys won't see it but that would be one of my emperor drog like award nominations would be like momoa and street like that to me is a role that's like embarrassing no one of this movie felt like and i don't think you've ever heard or seen the movie but you've probably heard of it it feels like movie 43 where a bunch of big actors revealed that they kind of got tricked to do this movie and they thought it was something else that's what street fighter feels like it feels like somehow these all these.

18:31 Actors are the most part Like, we're doing something else, and then, or the writers or directors, and then they did this. And it's like, oh, but Moe was in here, and you got, there's another people name in here. Like, you got, who else? Is there another name? Who am I missing? There's another name in the afternoon, right? 50 Cent, you got 50 Cent. Oh, yeah.

18:50 You have the, what's the guy from SNL, who's like the, yeah.

18:57 Mikey Day. Mikey Day, yeah, yeah, yeah.

18:59 Which, that was like a, he has like a dominate sub dominatrix, like just single relationship was like a step on me and do all this stuff. It's like, who are you aiming this for? And again, it was, uh, I guess I know the crowd they're aiming it for, but I don't think it's coming out. So what, uh, obviously I saw your score in that box. What do you, what do you give this?

19:18 I'll say for enjoyment, I would pass it, but on a, like, you know, on a movie level, it is a hundred percent of fail.

19:26 Yeah. You know what?

19:28 In the, um, football draft which sucks because tonight um i was as if i cursed myself last week i went five and oh i'm number one league i went five and last year i was like i only won one game last week i made a meme i i can pull it up here i of course got arrogant i got cocky i'm number one in the league i'm undefeated and then you'll know why i got the bad luck because i'm making me like this.

19:52 Where is it here?

19:53 But anyways, the winner of the league, or the loser has to watch a punishment movie. Last year, I made Detol watch a Siberian film, which is one of the worst films of all time. It's just a snuff film. But Street Fighter, because I don't know of the crew that's seen Street Fighter or like in the.

20:12 Football, if they've seen that. This might go on there. Oh, here you go. I found it here. I got cocky. I made this fucking meme.

20:18 It's Undertaker doing the pose 5-0 and of course this week I'm going to fucking lose.

20:23 I'm so mad, but Street Fighter might go down.

20:26 That happened to even be the one before the year he lost.

20:29 Yeah, it might be. It might be.

20:32 I might be the punk here, so I might have really screwed myself, but Yeah, I think that Street Fighter might be a movie. Because I won't be last place, luckily. That might be Kirkland or Superbad Mike. Those are the two guys in last place right now. So I might say Street Fighter.

20:46 Is a punishment movie. Depending who gets it.

20:48 I'll say, I have a question for you. Momoa in Street Fighter or Momoa in the Minecraft movie?

20:56 Momoa Minecraft movie.

20:58 As much as I hate Minecraft movie, it feels like he's still trying to be a little charming in there, like the loser, the old jock, right?

21:08 I just feel like when Momoa in the Minecraft movie, that was your point where you were like, it's over for Momoa.

21:15 Yeah, they came back with Lobo, which is funny because some people still think, like, I've seen a lot of takes where, oh, I fucking hate him as Lobo.

21:20 So, I don't know. I liked him as Lobo.

21:22 He's definitely in his, like, Jack he's in his Johnny Depp post Jack Sparrow era where it's like I gotta do Matt Hatter I gotta do like He's like, I.

21:31 Gotta play a character, man. I gotta just be out there and wild. Like, you know what? I'll defend it, too. I actually really liked Wrecking Crew. That was a good movie with him.

21:38 Oh, yeah.

21:38 I liked Wrecking Crew, yeah.

21:40 I liked that. And that's where, like, that's classic. So I know it's in there. It's just Momoa, he's just.

21:44 Having a good time. He's fucking dating Andrea Drona. He's making this money.

21:48 He don't care. He knows he's not going for any Academy Award. He's having a good time. And that's great for him. You know, that's wonderful.

21:54 So... Yeah, I definitely would fail this movie. On Letterboxd, I'd give it a 1 out of 5. Out of 10, I don't know. I really don't know.

22:03 Because 10 is a wider range.

22:05 I think I'm in the 2 sphere. I think sometimes the movie has.

22:11 I.

22:11 Can't see the good version of this movie, but I can see the good vibe version of this movie.

22:17 For me, the good vibe showed what this whole movie... kind of what i wanted to be like was the one fight scene set to uh come out and play where, like, when Ryu and Ken were, like, fighting off all the guards and Chun-Li was fighting Vega, like, in the office. Like, to me, that was, like, the vibe I wanted from this movie, where it's, like, and it's, like, kind of, like, fun, like, sort of, like, they're doing, like, the wire stuff where, like, someone gets hit and they go, like, flying backwards and stuff like that.

22:45 There's a bunch of guys coming down and they're just going down and.

22:48 They're doing, like, the side-to-side, like, side-scrolling sort of thing.

22:52 Yeah, I agree with you. That's what I wanted this whole movie to be, pretty much, so.

22:55 For me, that's, like, the one scene in Needle Drop that, like, felt like it actually worked.

23:00 And that's one of their least, like, I feel like Ken's least annoying. It feels like there's, like, a good, like, buddy cop back.

23:05 And forth with Ryu and him.

23:06 And even the fight, like, when they get to him and Ryu, like, I don't, like, absolutely hate that or anything.

23:11 You know.

23:12 I'm always a sucker for In the Rain, and there's some good stuff there. But, yeah, that's what I would like. I would like it to be more still cheesy and tongue-in-cheek, or, like I said, then go just the route where it is.

23:22 Like, yeah, we're going to have these people in these ridiculous costumes, and we'll do, like, a pair.

23:25 That's the interesting, like, I'll always be– I'll never forget that this is originally supposed to be directed by the Filippo brothers, the guys who did Talk to Me.

23:35 I saw that screenshot a lot this weekend. I saw that a lot, which is interesting.

23:38 Yeah, because they even did, like– because they did, like, obviously– on YouTube as Raka Raka, like, before the horror stuff, like, they did, like, and people, I remember when they got announced as directors, people were bringing up, like, they did, like, a, like, a, like, way, probably, like, 10 or more years ago on YouTube, like, Street Fighter in real life video, and it's, like, it is what that scene I really like, it's, like, them, it's, like, one of them is dressed as Ryu, and one, like, I think M. Bison or stuff like that, and they're, like, yeah, like, on wires, just, like, jumping around, shooting fireballs and stuff like that, like, Just very wacky, over-the-top comedic. And I think, yeah,

24:14 if they had leaned, it's like you either have to go, it has to be completely serious and realistic, or you go completely over-the-top, wacky, comedy.

24:24 They had to go wacky.

24:25 But the problem is I don't think they went the right type of wacky. They went to this kind of fourth wall. They almost tried to go Deadpool-y wacky with the comedy.

24:35 They tried to do in on the joke. instead of trying to make a joke.

24:41 It's a lot like, you get this, right? I don't get it.

24:45 Even with M.

24:47 Bison dropping the original Street Fighter line of, for me, it was just Tuesday.

24:52 That's very much like, oh, we're doing a reference, guys.

24:56 Yeah.

24:58 Yeah, so, well, there you go. That's our thoughts. We'll have to get Dave's thoughts in the next episode. Who knows where he is? It was like an hour ago where he shows the imagery.

25:05 He was in traffic, so hopefully he's all good.

25:07 But, yeah, when is the next? Is it Samara? No, it's Crown Jewel.

25:11 Crown Jewel.

25:13 Maybe Saudi. We'll see what happens there. that's first week of November, right? Or something.

25:18 Yeah. Also, I did forget to mention something in the AEW section that I completely forgot about.

25:23 Yeah.

25:23 Do you see the thing I sent of the, uh, the Tony storm tapes?

25:26 I saw it a little bit. So do we think they're like teasing that comeback?

25:31 Yeah.

25:31 They, they dropped like a, like a, cause someone, I think they sent it to like various influencers, social media people who were like at the show. And one of the people uploaded like a full transcript of it. And it's like, It's relating to, like, the who murdered Toni Storm story.

25:49 And TK literally said that on the press thing. Like, oh, yeah, when she's back, hopefully they find out who got her. So they're starting to get that story back going. Yeah.

25:57 So, yeah.

25:59 So it's like, yeah, the tapes was, like, just her talking about, like, various stuff. And then the last one was, like, it was something about, like, some lore of, like, there was like an unfinished movie of timeless Tony storm with something to do with a murder. And then like the last tape is like lost or something like that. So it's like, Oh, whoever did is like on the last tape or something like that, or like part of the unfinished movie.

26:25 Also, we don't know why she was gone for so long. If she still needs some time, like for ring rust or just even time to get back there, you can have weeks of segments of vignettes, like building this up.

26:34 To me, this feels like some of like that Wyatt stuff where like, it feels like this stuff won't even be like, mentioned directly on TV for, like, months until it's, like, right about to be, like, she's coming back.

26:46 That's cool.

26:47 So I just thought it was an interesting way to roll it out. I think it's very cool.

26:51 It very much fits with the character.

26:53 They've done a good job.

26:55 That is one of their best, like, if you talk about most protected IPs or characters, wrestlers, Toni Storm is one of those, right?

27:01 So, yeah, so.

27:03 We'll definitely talk more about that in the future. I think the next time, if it works out, we might do a gimmick is November... 15th, because the 7th is Extra Life Cherry Stream, so I will not be making the boys watch Crown Jewel.

27:16 Where is it?

27:16 Here.

27:17 What did you say?

27:18 I have the shirt.

27:19 Oh, yeah, there you go. Yeah, Extra Life coming up in a couple weeks there. I suppose we'll be a part of it.

27:23 It's not officially out there, but it is officially now that we're doing the trivia battle, and I suppose it's in it, and there's going to be a new spin on it, so we'll probably announce that In the next week or two.

27:32 I'm curious about that now. Oh, I think I know what it is. I had forgotten. You told me.

27:38 The guy in the chair knows.

27:39 So only a few people, only you, I think, family, Clay, Chris, Bob, there's only a few people that know.

27:44 Even then, I'm excited to see how that turns out with that new Sven, because it could be interesting or a mess at the same time, or in a good way.

27:52 I can't remember if you were around in the era, but we had this terrible, a.k.a. I had this terrible idea where One of the extra lights we did in After 9 and we just put the link out to the public and said anybody could join.

28:02 It was awful. We closed the stream up. We had random people. We had kids join.

28:06 I wasn't there, but you always bring it up. So I assume it was bad.

28:10 It's the single worst idea I've ever had. But this, I think, will still be good. Unless someone runs away with it.

28:16 We'll see. But I think it'll be a fun time. So yeah, we won't do.

28:20 Yeah, I won't be making the boys watch Crown Jewel while I'm there. But yeah, I think probably the 50th will be good because we can cover Crown Jewel.

28:25 And then also Full Gear. I talk about a lot of stuff there. We'll get David's thoughts on Street Fighter. He said he's getting that popcorn bucket. So hopefully.

28:33 The Kyle one.

28:34 The Kyle one. So there you go.

28:36 I didn't see it at my theater, but I was kind of late, so I didn't check.

28:39 But yeah.

28:39 Yeah.

28:39 There you go.

28:41 That is the gimmick. We'll be back in about a month or so with a couple episodes. At some point, too. Even in between. When I do like a GMO, we'll see what the weekends are looking like. And then, yeah. Won't be boring. Take care.

28:52 Bye.

28:52 End stream.
