Our Spoiler Reaction To Deadpool and Wolverine

In this episode, Jaime and Tony give their reactions to the Deadpool and Wolverine movie.

Transcript

ah rant. Hi folks, welcome to Good Game Radio. You caught us right in time for us to to get into some ah discussion for the state of storytelling.

00:00:16.14
Jaime G
Well, you we've been talking. We've been having an awesome conversation for like the last 20 minutes. We just we didn't record anything.

00:00:26.91
tanomsak
Yeah, so figure oh you know what, I'm just gonna hit the record. Let's just get started. Let's just get let's get rolling. and you know

00:00:32.31
Jaime G
Yes, yeah let's go. Let's go.

00:00:34.29
tanomsak
But yeah, the basically the last thought was, man, the current state of of like storytelling when it comes to TV shows, movies. I don't know about books. it I haven't been really deep into reading books here lately, but like man,

00:00:58.64
tanomsak
There's a, there's a serious lack of, uh, real, real talent. It feels like, and now we're just saying, man, didn't they just have like a big, uh, uh, strike for the screenwriters and all the, uh, you know, with that.

00:01:08.12
Jaime G
Strike, then last step, yeah, right.

00:01:11.31
tanomsak
And they're like, apparently that didn't resolve the talent issue.

00:01:18.64
tanomsak
I don't mean to insult people out there with those creative abilities, but we, but this is derived from the fact that one, we were just talking about Vance and I having the discussion about Acculite and how awful that series came off for Disney and the Star Wars franchise. And, you know, how the writing in that was very, very bad. And then Amy and I just got back from the movies today and we watched a movie called Long Legs.

00:01:49.20
Jaime G
which Which, as soon as you said that, I said it's overrated.

00:01:49.61
tanomsak
It's like, it's overrated. And I said, that's a euphemism for the garbage that that movie truly is. And as soon as I saw Nicholas Cage's name come up as a producer in the credits, like the opening credits, I almost was tempted, man, we should just leave because this is gonna be some weird,

00:02:08.56
Jaime G
Yep.

00:02:15.40
tanomsak
off the wall, just, just throw a whole bunch of craziness at the screen and it, you know, some, my, something might stick, but yeah, but nobody's going to watch this movie because like, I barely wanted to watch it, but I went, but the betrayal of like law enforcement in this movie, especially the FBI, like, man, they make them look like

00:02:17.30
Jaime G
Yes.

00:02:45.46
tanomsak
Big dummies, like, yeah.

00:02:46.98
Jaime G
like Police Academy.

00:02:49.00
tanomsak
I'm like, they're riding. I'm like, it's a supernatural movie. Dealing with the supernatural things, Satan, devil worshiping, that sort of stuff. Right.

00:03:03.64
tanomsak
And.

00:03:06.62
tanomsak
Like supernatural things happen. Which is creepy and it's scary, which is what it's supposed to do. And, and that's not what made the movie almost unwatchable. What made the movie unwatchable is when you can't get the basic day to day things that people do in real life. Right.

00:03:30.15
Jaime G
Yeah.

00:03:30.34
tanomsak
Right. That you can't even make like the FBI or investigating these murders and stuff. And you can't make the betrayal of the FBI believable. in their actions, just common sense actions. do They come off as just like incompetent. And that just that muddies the whole like belief system that you have when you're watching this movie because like any anybody with a liquid common sense would not put themselves in a certain situation like these people were putting themselves in.

00:04:11.17
tanomsak
And of course the result, people died, right? People died because they just weren't putting two and two together. Common sense stuff. Even if you take out the supernatural, like there's a scene where two agents go to a farmhouse out in the middle of nowhere to look for evidence, right?

00:04:36.27
Jaime G
Is this like what it was like, get in the shed with all the knives.

00:04:39.70
tanomsak
Yeah. Yeah. But like, okay, if you're going to go look for evidence, right? When is the best time you think that you're going to go look for evidence daytime, right?

00:04:48.47
Jaime G
Daytime.

00:04:51.13
Jaime G
Preferably when the bad guy's not there.

00:04:51.98
tanomsak
All right. Do you, do you go look for evidence in the middle of the night?

00:04:56.44
Jaime G
No.

00:04:56.60
tanomsak
Like, you know, in the middle of the night during a storm, right? That is that when you're going to go look for evidence and you're going to be looking around and and and there's like,

00:05:08.88
tanomsak
possibility that you're going to miss critical evidence because one, there are no lights. All you have is a flashlight and you're literally looking around, looking for evidence, but you're doing it in the middle of the night for no reason other than, you know, Hey, let's go in the middle of the night. And then there's no electricity.

00:05:28.06
Jaime G
I mean, so somebody like just woke up and said, hey, I have a great idea.

00:05:29.17
tanomsak
Yeah.

00:05:32.44
tanomsak
Right. or moments where, hey, one agent goes, all right, I'm gonna go up into this area and speak with the suspect, right? So one, you only come with two agents and the other agent says, okay, I'll stay here at the car. And then the agent that stays in the car just sits in the car

00:06:01.63
tanomsak
That's it, sits in the car. Well, guess what happens?

00:06:07.07
tanomsak
Bad stuff happens.

00:06:07.19
Jaime G
Uh, one guy doesn't return or the guy in the car gets killed and the other one eventually gets killed.

00:06:13.41
tanomsak
Right, i'm not playing I'm not giving the spoilers here on it, but if if that were to play out in real life, when you go to a suspect's house, one go one agent goes by and says, we want just two agents. Just two agents show up to apprehend a a suspect. One goes to the door by themself and the second one stays in the car. Just stays in the car. For what reason?

00:06:40.71
Jaime G
I don't know.

00:06:41.76
tanomsak
Just sitting in the car when you're there to apprehend a suspect.

00:06:42.05
Jaime G
To be safe?

00:06:47.05
tanomsak
These are the things that make no sense. And these are the things that like. When you see them, I don't care if the story is about the supernatural or whatever. It's not the supernatural stuff that I'm not believing. It's the actions of common, everyday, common sense things that you can't get right. that That is what makes me angry and when it comes to watching a good story.

00:07:12.19
Jaime G
Well, again, I'm going to say this, as as you said, a movie that has Nicholas Cage on it. I was like, out. I mean, well, that's good thing he did since Conair.

00:07:28.97
tanomsak
Dude, I told my wife. i'm like he's

00:07:34.67
tanomsak
There's never been a movie where Nicolas Cage was ever a good actor. You can't tell me. He's he's always been a B-rated at best. Actor that just plays in just off the wall crazy over-the-top movies and shows and stuff like that And it's the corniness of those things where he's made his fame, right?

00:07:58.92
Jaime G
Yes. Yes.

00:08:00.36
tanomsak
I Mean he's never like we saw a trailer for Joker to the Joaquin Phoenix Is

00:08:03.39
Jaime G
I mean, yeah.

00:08:10.55
Jaime G
Folier do.

00:08:11.86
tanomsak
it walking not that Joaquin Phoenix plays is that actor's name yeah Joaquin Phoenix

00:08:13.79
Jaime G
Joaquin Felix. Yeah.

00:08:18.44
tanomsak
His new Joker movie.

00:08:20.24
Jaime G
Yeah.

00:08:21.64
tanomsak
Great acting like if he had played in this movie, Long Legs, it would have been a totally different story. Like.

00:08:31.27
tanomsak
Nicholas Cage's character and he plays a character in his movie is just dumb. um

00:08:37.27
Jaime G
I agree.

00:08:38.49
tanomsak
And he looked like a Joker ripoff character.

00:08:46.69
tanomsak
But yeah, that just that movie just left a bad taste in my mouth today.

00:08:55.60
Jaime G
Well, again, the last time I had any hopes for Nicholas Cage to do something decent was in the ghost writer movies. And he let me down.

00:09:11.79
tanomsak
Yeah.

00:09:14.22
Jaime G
Big time. and And they even gave him a sequel.

00:09:19.51
Jaime G
So fool me once, shame on me. feel me No, this doesn't go that way. He fooled me twice.

00:09:23.33
tanomsak
Yeah, yeah.

00:09:26.33
Jaime G
Yes.

00:09:29.02
Jaime G
Well, Tony, the biggest movie

00:09:29.11
tanomsak
Anyway.

00:09:34.29
Jaime G
on planet earth right now but everyone's talking about is a movie that could have had a cameo by Nicolas Cage but yet they did the right choice and didn't yes and i am talking about the latest Deadpool movie now i don't know the detail details around this but i know that you haven't seen it

00:09:49.28
tanomsak
Right, definitely right choice.

00:10:01.52
tanomsak
Well, I mean, I have seen half of it.

00:10:07.57
Jaime G
So how do you see half a movie?

00:10:07.66
tanomsak
I walked out on it.

00:10:11.46
Jaime G
no you did it

00:10:13.83
tanomsak
I mean, technically I did.

00:10:17.75
tanomsak
All right.

00:10:17.89
Jaime G
Technically you got kicked out

00:10:22.27
tanomsak
Now what happened was I went to watch it at one o'clock in the afternoon. And during the course of the movie, the severe thunderstorm came over the movie theater and knocked the power out. And they we had to evacuate into the inner part of the movie theater. um And then after like 30 minutes of the power not coming back on, I just decided that I was just going to leave. So I left.

00:10:54.92
tanomsak
And come to find out, Tornado had hit town, had hit MCSU or something like that, which when I came out, I was like, parts of trees and stuff were laying out in the parking lot and in the roadway. And I'm like, what what happened? And I was really hoping that it didn't hail or something like that and dent my car up, which it didn't. So thankfully, my car was undamaged. But yeah, that was my Deadpool experience. So I got halfway through the movie when that happened. So I can talk about the first half of the movie.

00:11:32.77
Jaime G
Okay. Now we, we are going to be in spoiler territory here.

00:11:36.80
tanomsak
All right.

00:11:39.89
Jaime G
Okay. So right now this movie is well on its way to cross the $1 billion mark. The only other movie recently that's done that, I mean, recently has been Inside Out 2, which I still haven't seen. It's actually a 1.5 billion right now, and it's surprising to me because it's like Deadpool isn't there yet, but it's getting like a lot of more attention than Inside Out is. But anyway, what's your thoughts? as far as what you keep As far as the portion of the movie that you have seen, again, spoiler territory here, what is Tony's opinion on this? Is it one thumbs up, one thumbs down?

00:12:27.46
Jaime G
what's

00:12:28.54
tanomsak
Uh, I'm not going to give it a thumbs up or thumbs down but we because it's incomplete.

00:12:33.22
Jaime G
The sideways thumb.

00:12:34.35
tanomsak
However, up to the point that the movie cut out on me, I will give it a.

00:12:43.34
tanomsak
In this undecided, because even though the movie, um as I'm sitting there watching a movie, I will say that, um, that I was entertained. which, you know, you want a movie to to entertain you, right? I was entertained. um At the same time, like, I was being entertained, but I was like, where's the meat of the movie?

00:12:59.91
Jaime G
Good.

00:13:10.06
tanomsak
You know what I'm saying? Like, where is this all going? And as soon as I started seeing the time, the TVA show up, and I started, you know, I'm like, oh, here we go again with the, what you call it, the split timelines and all that. And and yeah, the multiverse.

00:13:27.36
Jaime G
The multiverse.

00:13:30.00
tanomsak
And I've kind of knew that going in, you know, suspected that this was going to be heavy in that in that regard. But the again, heavy emphasis on it. I'm like, hi, can we not break free of this multiverse stuff and just give me a traditional sacred timeline story where there's actually

00:13:53.49
Jaime G
Consequence.

00:13:53.78
tanomsak
Tension tension and consequence instead of his hey we have a built-in

00:13:54.82
Jaime G
Yeah.

00:13:59.65
tanomsak
ah Get out of jail free card when it comes to our heroes dying or whatever I'm like and that's And that's kind of my view on the multiverse. It's just like oh, it's so convenient to just do it any anything you want to do and Have a get out of jail free card when it comes to your characters because there's never a consequence because we'll just go get the version that's closest to them from another universe and throw the earth planet number up there and say our universe number up there and

00:14:29.69
tanomsak
like we're supposed to know what universe that we're all in and what universe are this supposed to be taken care of because you throw a two second a frame up there of, oh, this is universe, whatever.

00:14:35.16
Jaime G
We're the 6 1 6 6

00:14:43.28
tanomsak
Which which universe did you say we were in?

00:14:46.27
Jaime G
1 6 man. Come on common knowledge It absolutely is

00:14:48.55
tanomsak
See? No, it's not common knowledge. ah To comic book people or people that are really, really, really, really invested into the timeline, I guess it's common knowledge, but to me, it's just all a bunch of ah like a point salad of, uh, of Marvel, you know, we can do anything we want. And this can, we can go on indefinitely with this. That's where I stand because like.

00:15:27.97
tanomsak
right there with the whole, oh, sacred timeline. Like, that's the thing, like, do I even care about the sacred timeline if it doesn't apply to my to the Earth that we're supposedly in? Is it, are we, ah it's the Earth that you just said in the sacred timeline, because they do not do a good job of explaining that. They don't tell us, they confuse us really about where we are in this whole, universe and who am i supposed to be like really like invested in as far as like which timeline matters because i guess if you like if you want to come down to it like do i care about any other timeline and the consequences of any other timeline other than my own right is that selfish i don't think so because

00:16:24.00
tanomsak
to me those timelines don't exist in my reality. So whatever happens in them, like doesn't matter to me, doesn't affect me. So it's like, I guess there's a moral conundrum there with that whole idea. I don't know. Is that, is that what they're in getting into with this, this multiverse stuff is like, Oh, what have we, can we sit here and think about it? And what would you do sort of thing? I don't know. I don't know if they're getting that deep. I just wish it's not a dead, pool yeah it's a Deadpool movie.

00:16:53.63
Jaime G
It's a Deadpool movie. They don't they don't get that deep into anything. Yeah.

00:16:57.76
tanomsak
So they're definitely not getting that deep.

00:17:00.12
Jaime G
All right.

00:17:01.86
tanomsak
Now I put too much thought into it.

00:17:02.10
Jaime G
So. so so

00:17:03.88
tanomsak
Like, Hey, it's Deadpool. You just use this. I hate Deadpool. It's not supposed to be that deep. Okay. You're right. It's not supposed to be that deep.

00:17:10.43
Jaime G
Right.

00:17:11.34
tanomsak
So it's entertaining from an action point of view.

00:17:11.37
Jaime G
It's not. I mean.

00:17:15.52
tanomsak
It doesn't.

00:17:15.83
Jaime G
I mean. OK, so here's kind of on Saturday. Uh, what's Jayrod and Odie, we all kind of said, it's Saturday, let's go watch the movie. So all of us went inside. And at the end, we're texting each other like Jayrod was the first one that came out of the movie theater and he's texting all of us and this movie was epic. It was awesome.

00:17:51.32
Jaime G
I was the second one to see it. And I was like, dude, that is very questionable. I mean, it hits the things that the fans want to see. Right. It's a Deadpool adventure. They pull out a Wolverine out of nowhere and expect the fan base to care about this character. just because he's Wolverine. That's that's the only claim, but he's not the Wolverine that everyone grew up watching movies for in like the late early 2000s, right? um It's got cameos up the wazoo. it' It's got cameos le even in movies that they never really did because Gambit is in it and they never did a Gambit movie. And they actually make fun of him for that.

00:18:38.33
Jaime G
oh And I thought, OK, as I'm seeing this, this is a movie that the fans want to see. It's got some decent action. It's got better budget than the previous ones. I just don't think it's a good movie. So kind of what you were saying, it am I entertained? Yes, I'm entertained. Is it a good movie? I actually think it is not. Only from the sense of everything. I mean, like I will agree with everything that you

00:19:09.48
Jaime G
that you just said, I'm going to give a shout out to Vandy on this one because he said ever since the imp um the multiverse was introduced, he said that just leads to sloppy writing, poor ideas, and it's a get out of jail free card of whatever you can come up with. Um, someone dies, doesn't matter. We can pull off another one. Right.

00:19:36.10
tanomsak
Yeah, yeah.

00:19:36.13
Jaime G
And it's, it's reminiscent of that game of throne lines at the end of that one episode where, um, what's name aagon is find the a brother with, with his friends and the brothers like, well, he basically says one, one ruler is, is the same as the other one. I mean, now they just say, Hey, here's a Wolverine deal with it.

00:20:01.54
tanomsak
Yeah. Yeah. I mean.

00:20:05.39
tanomsak
That's the thing. um go Having only seen the movie halfway, I have to reserve my full judgment on it. However, like I said, I was entertained. It was funny.

00:20:22.16
tanomsak
Though the comedy, the stuff was funny.

00:20:22.23
Jaime G
There were there there were there were some things that were funny though, but there was two things that OK, go ahead.

00:20:33.51
tanomsak
But stuff at the same time was like questionably funny.

00:20:33.57
Jaime G
OK.

00:20:37.15
tanomsak
like

00:20:37.51
Jaime G
OK, yes, I agree, I agree.

00:20:38.11
tanomsak
is

00:20:41.17
Jaime G
There were some things that that were you like legit. Hey, this is I wasn't thinking about this. Let me you know, here's a chuckle. There were things that they just You know, it's like insert F bomb right here. Comedy. Applause. Move on.

00:20:58.86
tanomsak
Right. And somebody said that that's that just it it's Deadpool.

00:20:59.77
Jaime G
And and honestly.

00:21:03.05
tanomsak
If you've seen a Deadpool movie, that's what he does. I have i have not seen a Deadpool movie. I have not seen deadpo Deadpool 1 or 2.

00:21:11.38
Jaime G
Oh.

00:21:11.45
tanomsak
This is my first movie with Deadpool in it. So this is not, you know,

00:21:14.77
Jaime G
Tell me.

00:21:18.44
Jaime G
for anybody who's listening i am like rubbing my face right now

00:21:29.02
tanomsak
I'm not totally surprised by, you know, the language, the humor, the just not totally surprised by it. And like, I know a little bit about this pool and a whole lot is just. Was it funny? Well, I was so funny.

00:21:43.21
Jaime G
For anybody who's listening, I am like rubbing my face right now.

00:21:43.76
tanomsak
Yes, it was funny, but it's like there was so much of it. It was just nonstop. It was This movie is a lot of fan service to people that are really, really want to see, oh, what if you did this with this character and this with this character and how, how, what would, what we would it be like if these two characters are together and, or, you know, and then there's all these jokes about Fox and, and he's breaking the the fourth wall where he's talking to the audience and that's all, yeah, it's all funny.

00:21:56.74
Jaime G
Exactly, exactly exactly.

00:22:16.15
Jaime G
the

00:22:20.34
tanomsak
I mean, again, Do I want to sit for two hours and just get barraged with nothing but callbacks, fanservice, and, you know, insider jokes?

00:22:34.32
Jaime G
Yes. now so so So look, they I think the producers or writers, they said, hey, look at what Spider-Man No Way Home did. Let's do that times 50. But difference, though. There's a big difference. Spider-Man No Way Home, it wasn't like, hey, let's go have him and send him off into the multi-universe. They just brought in a couple of characters here, and they just wanted to get him one back. But that movie at the end, though, had consequence.

00:23:06.89
tanomsak
Yeah.

00:23:07.06
Jaime G
It had a consequence. it There was something that got changed. And at the end, nobody remembers who he was.

00:23:15.78
tanomsak
Right.

00:23:15.91
Jaime G
They remember Spider-Man, right?

00:23:16.98
tanomsak
Which is a core Spider-Man movie.

00:23:17.61
Jaime G
but

00:23:19.92
tanomsak
If you're going to make a Spider-Man movie, you'll always have to remember. And they've done a good job, even with the newer Spider-Man, where you know there's a lot more humor and just kind of dumb stuff going on, even with those movies. There's still like a human story with consequence that, that plays out.

00:23:41.65
Jaime G
Exactly.

00:23:43.37
tanomsak
Right. And then you could clearly understand, uh, that you can relate to like, that's what makes almost all the Spider-Man movie be great. Right. Because there's something very relatable, a core story, moral, a moral story.

00:23:59.40
Jaime G
I mean, he lost he lost he lost his aunt in the process, right? And it's not like, oh, let me just go back and fix this, right? it There's like things that happened that were of Vampak to the character during the movie and then at the end of the movie moving forward. None of that matters here. None of it.

00:24:17.96
tanomsak
Right.

00:24:18.87
Jaime G
Forget it. Throw it out the window, right?

00:24:20.36
tanomsak
I mean, the was there an attempt? I don't know. Was it was it a serious attempt where they're talking about, you know, Deadpool? What's his name? Wade Wilson wants to matter, right?

00:24:31.34
Jaime G
Yes. Yeah.

00:24:32.97
tanomsak
He wants to matter. He wants to do something good and matter. Right. That's kind of the one little thread of a story that was introduced. I don't know. You'd have to tell me, does that even lead to anything? I don't know. But the problem is,

00:24:49.80
Jaime G
Well, he matters. He saves, he saves the his timeline.

00:24:56.12
Jaime G
But, but, but, but everything's so convenient, man.

00:24:56.16
tanomsak
yeah I'm sure he saved his timeline. I mean, that's, it's a Marvel superhero movie. It's like, it was,

00:25:01.95
Jaime G
Look, there's like so many things wrong with this movie. I mean, you let me, let me go on a rant here for a minute or two or four or 10. At the beginning of the movie, you know, when they're having like the birthday party celebration, there's one character that you you're not familiar with because you didn't see the previous movie, but he's got like a pinkish dye to his hair, longer hair.

00:25:28.47
tanomsak
Yeah.

00:25:29.48
Jaime G
Ever since I saw that character in the movie, I was sitting in my seat and I was thinking, something's not right. I just can't put my finger on it. Because first off, it was like, I know I've seen this guy in a Deadpool movie, but something's not right. There's something that just doesn't sit well with me. So and like a good fanboy, I finished the movie. I go home and I Google this. Well, this was a character that died in Deadpool 2. And I mean, like, diet died, died.

00:26:02.44
Jaime G
He doesn't have no superpower to revive or anything. And in Deadpool 2, at the end of the movie, there's another character, the guy, Peter. He died too, actually at the same time. But in Deadpool 2, like post credits or like near the end credits, he goes back in time and and saves Peter from dying. But he only saves Peter. And he even makes it, comment in the movie like yeah this this guy the guy his name was shatter star uh shatter star is kind of like a insert f bomb um nobody nobody cares about him and he doesn't go back and save him and that then then

00:26:31.86
tanomsak
Mm hmm.

00:26:48.52
Jaime G
Here he is in the third movie. How did he come back to life? Does it matter? No. Did they ever say what's happening? No. Do we care? No. So that's one thing that I was just like, what in the world? And then he claims that that's like one of his closest friends and family, which he made it a point in the last movie to say he didn't like him because there was like animosity between them because when Shadow Star gets introduced, he's like, anything you can do, I can do better. Okay, whatever.

00:27:20.99
Jaime G
Then, did you get to the sling ring portion in the movie before you got kicked out?

00:27:26.70
tanomsak
The sling ring?

00:27:28.24
Jaime G
Yeah.

00:27:28.47
tanomsak
I don't remember.

00:27:30.69
Jaime G
The sling ring is the Dr. Strange thing that so that opens up, you know, portals.

00:27:35.92
tanomsak
No. No, yeah, I didn't get that.

00:27:38.98
Jaime G
Okay. see Little thing here for all the boys and girls listening, the sling rings, they're used to travel from point A to point B. They are never used to travel in between dimensions.

00:27:50.86
tanomsak
Right.

00:27:56.09
Jaime G
Remember Spider-Man No Way Home when they actually opened up the sling ring and here comes, you know, another Peter Parker?

00:27:56.33
tanomsak
right

00:28:01.82
tanomsak
Yeah.

00:28:02.63
Jaime G
And then another Peter parock Parker? They were in the same world. He wasn't in a different timeline, right?

00:28:09.39
tanomsak
Right.

00:28:10.34
Jaime G
um Even and Dr. Strange, Multiverse of Madness, he doesn't use the Sling Ring to travel between the multiverse. He uses America's powers to do that.

00:28:21.54
tanomsak
Yeah, he has that with America.

00:28:23.49
Jaime G
Okay, in this movie, somehow very conveniently, as I said, this is all convenient, because the bad guy, Cassandra Nova, pulls a Sling Ring out of her pocket. and And guess what? The sling rings got two infinity stills attached to it. Now she does this thing. Oh, oh yeah. Now they can travel between the dimensions. What? without Without ever explaining how that sling ring just came to show up and she has it.

00:28:56.27
Jaime G
I mean, there was like, I'm here thinking, did I miss an episode on Loki or something that explains this?

00:29:02.99
tanomsak
Right.

00:29:03.21
Jaime G
Apparently not.

00:29:04.78
tanomsak
Well, you're not supposed, they're not supposed to have anything from the TV shows that shows up in the movies. That's unexplained. You know what I'm saying? Like that was a rule of the shows that they supposedly had. So.

00:29:20.90
Jaime G
So, I mean, it's just things like this. That again, it's a fun movie, there's good action, there's funny things in here. At the same time, it's like, there's like so many things that are just left to like, how convenient that this happened. Let's not really care about it so that we can progress the quasi plot here further and get to a happy ending at the end. So.

00:29:49.33
tanomsak
Yeah.

00:29:50.40
Jaime G
I mean, is it a is it a is it going to be a blockbuster? Obviously. But again, there's no impact. And that's something that Marvel has been lacking. at At the beginning of the MCU in phase one, it was very seldomly there. But there were like the building blocks that kind of built up to Thanos in the Avengers movie.

00:30:14.61
tanomsak
Right.

00:30:14.89
Jaime G
And, and I mean, so there was like things that were kind of scattered here and there that had a bigger meaning. None of that matters here. And, and, and, and I guess the only, they, they, they made this movie to sound like this was going to be like the connection between now the MCU to Fox. And the only connection is they go into the void. There's a bunch of Fox stuff. That's like. thrown there, they grabbed as many fox characters as they could and insert them into the movie.

00:30:45.30
Jaime G
I mean, did you get that far?

00:30:47.76
tanomsak
Yeah, I got as far as where they ran into the nice Deadpool.

00:30:50.30
Jaime G
So.

00:30:56.27
Jaime G
OK, so a little bit further in the movie, maybe 15 minutes, they ran into Jennifer Garner, reprising her role as Electra. This one was a bit of a surprise to me. They run into Wesley Snipes representing Blade. They run into Shannon Tatum doing Gambit. And there's like, there's this one was a funny going on thing where he's just talking like New Orleans accent and they ah can't really understand what he's saying.

00:31:29.53
tanomsak
Hmm.

00:31:30.60
Jaime G
And then there's there's a bunch of like, who are you? What university do you come from? Because he was going to have a movie and they got canceled. Um, and then, oh, let's bring back Daphne Keene, which here's another weird thing. Daphne Keene was the girl that played X 23. She was there when Logan died, the Logan, which is the anchor. But then it's like, is this Daphne Keene, the same deaf, the same X 23? It kind of made it sound like she was, but then how'd she get pulled into this universe? Like, like logic goes out the window.

00:32:06.51
Jaime G
and And at this point is where I was thinking.

00:32:06.65
tanomsak
du the whole the whole idea of an anchor character the universe existing because of one person or one character and that character being wolverine of all people I'm like that makes no sense and you gotta think about it the universe the universe right because when you're talking on a timeline you're just not talking about planet earth

00:32:16.15
Jaime G
Yes.

00:32:24.35
Jaime G
Right.

00:32:35.61
tanomsak
You're talking about everything.

00:32:35.62
Jaime G
No, no, no, everything.

00:32:40.38
tanomsak
and it's And that anchor character is freaking Wolverine.

00:32:45.47
Jaime G
Right.

00:32:47.65
tanomsak
I mean, I'm just as shocked as Deadpool, right?

00:32:49.84
Jaime G
Yes. and but Right.

00:32:55.06
Jaime G
And do it in and like here at the end, Logan's like, all right, bub, I'll catch you later. My time here is done. And you know, he starts walking away. And you're like, so is this it? Is this what Logan was brought back for? And then all of a sudden Deadspool's like, hey man, come on, hang out with us a little bit more. And so they have like this end scene where everyone's happy singing Kumbaya. And I'm like, what does this really mean? So is this s Logan, which is not the same Logan that we all grew up watching, now of relevance and going to be in more movies,

00:33:32.98
Jaime G
I mean, and Deadpool said several times, like, we're you're going to be doing this until you're 90.

00:33:33.02
tanomsak
But.

00:33:37.47
tanomsak
Right. Well, I mean, I don't understand. Like I said, I didn't see the whole movie, but the premise is.

00:33:48.41
tanomsak
The anchor character Wolverine died as Logan, right?

00:33:53.50
Jaime G
Died.

00:33:54.56
tanomsak
Die died. That's how the movie opens, right? Deadpool is like.

00:33:57.85
Jaime G
Right.

00:33:59.92
tanomsak
digging up Wolverine thinking that he's just hanging out buried and he just needs his help to get out of the grave. Right. And he's actually dead. All right. ah But the TVA guy explains to him that that his universe or his timeline is destined to just wither away and die. Right. Because the anchor character Wolverine died.

00:34:31.14
tanomsak
Right. So I guess, I don't know what happened other than he goes and finds a new Wolverine and brings him into the timeline, but it's not the same Wolverine.

00:34:46.96
Jaime G
Yes. Exactly.

00:34:52.49
tanomsak
How can, how can that, how, how is that going to work? Like. What made the previous Wolverine the anchor character of the timeline is what is the glue that holds the timeline together, right? Just because you go and get another Wolverine and the whole premise that they showed like a full 10 minute thing where he's going to university, university, university looking for the Wolverine that was close to what he was looking for.

00:35:21.38
Jaime G
Hey, i thought I did think it was something that Henry Cabell was one of them.

00:35:25.31
tanomsak
That yeah that was funny. um And the only reason he got the Wolverine he got was that's the only Wolverine that didn't outright kill him or try to kill him as soon as he met him.

00:35:27.39
Jaime G
And he was just huge, dude. and

00:35:34.21
Jaime G
Yeah.

00:35:36.67
tanomsak
So.

00:35:36.81
Jaime G
So it kind of made me think like he was the worst of the Walmourines.

00:35:40.07
tanomsak
Right. So.

00:35:41.64
Jaime G
Drunk Walmourine.

00:35:43.25
tanomsak
um I'm guessing the movie ends with that Wolverine in in the timeline. Right. That didn't have a Wolverine, which means that the timeline that that Wolverine was in is destined to wither and die. Right.

00:35:56.62
Jaime G
Again, don't pay attention to those things, Tony.

00:35:59.02
tanomsak
Right.

00:35:59.59
Jaime G
They'll make your head hurt.

00:35:59.88
tanomsak
So morally you just executed a tree and people in another universe because you're trying to save your own universe. So I guess if there was a moral here is tough luck.

00:36:11.97
Jaime G
Right. So I think this whole concept of the multi multiverse can be executed properly. I mean, Spider-Man No Way Home did it. um spider-man across the multiverse did it and there was impact right into what you're just saying there were some universes that if the core event didn't happen or can an event the whole universe is would disappear and and the characters were troubled by this right they were trying to prevent this here that he just don't care he's just like hey let me pull this character out of here let me

00:36:32.79
tanomsak
you

00:36:56.16
Jaime G
I mean, again, if you think about this, youll your head will explode.

00:37:00.06
tanomsak
Right. Well, that was the principle of the animated Spider-Man.

00:37:08.00
Jaime G
Right.

00:37:09.72
tanomsak
If the canon event didn't happen, the you know the timeline was doomed. Right. If the candidate and that's why you had the Society of Spider-Man.

00:37:16.55
Jaime G
Right.

00:37:21.90
tanomsak
Dedicated to make sure that the canon event happened. Right.

00:37:28.49
tanomsak
And that would none that would they actually address the moral question of that, right?

00:37:34.30
Jaime G
Yes. Right. So, so, so this whole multiverse concept can be properly handled or much better than what this movie attempted to even do. I mean, it just didn't care.

00:37:51.34
tanomsak
Right. And I guess we're just supposed to say, well, they don't care. So we're just posted. Except that it's just a movie for fan service callbacks, Easter eggs and whatever.

00:38:02.28
Jaime G
Yes, absolutely. It's, it's all it was.

00:38:04.65
tanomsak
So it's a money grab.

00:38:06.72
Jaime G
It was, it was, it's cameos.

00:38:07.00
tanomsak
That's just, it's just, yeah. Yeah.

00:38:10.16
Jaime G
It's bye-bye-bye by in sync and F bombs money maker right there.

00:38:15.61
tanomsak
Right. Yeah. Grab us a couple of $2 billion dollars and we're good to go.

00:38:22.31
Jaime G
Until the next one.

00:38:25.82
tanomsak
so So, Hey, I guess as long as they can pull in like a $2 billion dollar movie every, you know, once a year, then they're not going to change anything. I don't know how to, like, is it enough to wipe away all the losses from all the other failed movies or whatever that they've put out? It probably is.

00:38:45.67
Jaime G
Well they Disney Disney had a ah rough 2023 But I think 2024 they're they're not doing they're not doing too bad.

00:38:46.43
tanomsak
I don't know.

00:38:59.69
tanomsak
Yeah. So we'll continue to get subpar but stories and as far as quality writing, which we go back to how we started the episode talking about, you know, the state of storytelling, but as long as they can make a profit, it's just not going to change.

00:39:01.45
Jaime G
I Mean Yeah Well

00:39:19.58
tanomsak
So anyway, well, yeah, I mean,

00:39:21.22
Jaime G
I agree. So that was my, that was my Deadpool review.

00:39:29.08
tanomsak
So your Deadpool review kind of lined up with my Deadpool review and I didn't even have to invest half the time you did.

00:39:35.65
Jaime G
Yeah. Still check it out though. Cause again, I said this early. I think it's a fun movie. I just don't think it's a good movie.

00:39:44.38
tanomsak
Right. Now it's too bad Vance wasn't here to put his two cents in because I know that I talked to him about it and he was kind of the same camp. Like he, I think I actually said that he would probably, he said that it's his first Deadpool movie. It would probably be his last Deadpool movie. So, you know, I don't think he was as entertained as even you and I were, but I don't want to speak for him. So.

00:40:18.44
Jaime G
Now, I will say this, though. The Deadpool movies, if you see them and you're probably not going to, but like the first movie was done like so low budget. That they had to I mean, Ryan Reynolds was quoted in saying that he had to make him and the directors had to make every dollar spent. Look like if they were like three dollars.

00:40:42.59
tanomsak
Yeah.

00:40:42.94
Jaime G
Because because they they really this was that movie that everyone thought it was going to fail. And it did really well on on the low budget. And for the second movie, the studio wanted to increase their budget because it did well compared to like what they invested in.

00:40:55.35
tanomsak
Right.

00:40:58.37
Jaime G
And they were like, no, no, no, no. We still want to do this low budget because it forces us to like not rely a lot on on CGI or this or that.

00:41:05.03
tanomsak
Oh.

00:41:09.25
Jaime G
It's just, it forces us to make a good movie.

00:41:10.61
tanomsak
so the one The one thing I will say about Deadpool and Ryan Reynolds is I cannot see Deadpool played by any other character, any other person.

00:41:21.85
Jaime G
Me neither.

00:41:22.09
tanomsak
He he owns that role.

00:41:23.07
Jaime G
No. He does.

00:41:24.75
tanomsak
ah he He definitely makes that character. so So he deserves all the credit for ah to for how he plays that role.

00:41:33.44
Jaime G
Yeah.

00:41:36.39
tanomsak
He definitely makes it character. so

00:41:39.07
Jaime G
Yeah, no, he he he is very much credited for like pushing for this character and making sure that that first the very first movie happened because it it would have not happened without like there was a leak of like some test footage that they recorded for the studios and the studios passed on it. And it was leaked online. on youtube and i and everyone's like this was ryan reynolds and he hasn't opened up to it but if if it weren't for that leaked footage there would have not been any interest and in that movie so he has done a lot i mean even the he he's been being credited to like take take pay cuts

00:42:11.74
tanomsak
Yeah.

00:42:19.97
Jaime G
to have people like on these movies which I was like that's why I was laughing when you know the whole human torch thing happens he's like do you realize what he's doing to her budget right now just to have him on camera but they had they they had a lot bigger budget for this one as you can tell by all the cameos yeah now as soon as they said Hugh Jackman's back

00:42:33.96
tanomsak
Yeah. Yeah.

00:42:40.23
tanomsak
Oh, I'm yeah, I'm sure. I'm sure that they had no limit on their budget. Probably.

00:42:50.53
Jaime G
Throw a hundred million dollars into their into their just like weekly stipend.

00:42:54.79
tanomsak
Right. I mean, Hugh Jackman is a great, great actor. These guys are opposite of what we were talking about earlier when we were talking about ah Nicholas Cage.

00:43:05.86
Jaime G
Nick Cage.

00:43:06.86
tanomsak
These guys. are superstar actors, you know? I mean, Hugh Jackman, yeah, great Wolverine, but he can also like sing and, ah you know, how many, um he was the lead character in what, yeah, yeah, the circus movie.

00:43:30.73
Jaime G
Barnum and Bailey The greatest showman Oh that one I passed I passed on that one man I actually did enjoy the greatest showman

00:43:33.21
tanomsak
I can't remember. I mean, the greatest showman and then the the other one too with the, the Ms. Rob.

00:43:41.95
tanomsak
Dude, you gotta watch that. That movie is fantastic. Yeah, that's one, I think that's Amy's favorite movie. That might be her favorite movie. And I never, and that, and Lemma's Rob has been made multiple times, but um this one that he was in just blew me away, so it's not good.

00:44:09.26
tanomsak
But yeah, those totally opposite of Nicolas Cage.

00:44:15.26
tanomsak
I'm glad they didn't put Nicolas Cage in this movie.

00:44:15.40
Jaime G
Of course. I really thought at some point he was going to show up and just be like, like, yo, I'm here.

00:44:27.70
tanomsak
Right.

00:44:28.79
Jaime G
I mean, he did a he he did a cameo in the last flash movie.

00:44:35.77
Jaime G
I don't know if it was actually him or CGI, but there was a Nick Nicklaus cage, like complete Nicklaus cage reference in it.

00:44:43.56
tanomsak
Really? See, I didn't watch The Flash because this one's a DC movie.

00:44:44.51
Jaime G
Oh, yeah.

00:44:49.97
tanomsak
And none of their stuff.

00:44:51.83
Jaime G
There was a whole lot of there was a lot of controversy around the actor Ezra Miller at the time, which probably hurt that movie in the long run, but I caught it because it was on Netflix.

00:44:57.33
tanomsak
Yeah.

00:45:04.45
Jaime G
ah It's a Netflix watch. I'm glad I didn't see it in the movie theater, but it wasn' it it was it was something that I could see.

00:45:13.29
tanomsak
Yeah.

00:45:14.63
Jaime G
Yeah.

00:45:16.52
tanomsak
And we were talking about.

00:45:17.03
Jaime G
It kind of made more sense than this.

00:45:18.97
tanomsak
Yeah. Well, we were talking earlier about the the next movie on our watch list is Alien Romulus, right?

00:45:30.69
Jaime G
ah hu

00:45:32.55
tanomsak
That looks good.

00:45:34.31
Jaime G
Yes.

00:45:34.50
tanomsak
That that looks good. I'm serious. It does look good. Kind of like a throwback to the original almost.

00:45:42.84
Jaime G
August the 16th, so we're one week and a couple of days away from it.

00:45:47.62
tanomsak
Yeah. um So I'm really excited to see that one, just because just the cinematography that you're getting in the trailers looks fantastic. ah

00:45:59.10
Jaime G
I'm telling you this. It was directed by the guy who did the Evil Dead movie, and he also did the other movie called Don't Speak.

00:46:04.07
tanomsak
I don't think I've seen that one.

00:46:08.64
Jaime G
Dude, it's a good movie. It's like this little hidden gem.

00:46:14.28
tanomsak
All right. I'll look it up. But Resident Evil, I mean, Evil Dead, Evil Dead. Yeah, that was.

00:46:21.33
Jaime G
i ah but I messed up. I said, don't speak. It's called Don't Breathe. My bad.

00:46:25.36
tanomsak
Don't breathe.

00:46:26.55
Jaime G
Yeah.

00:46:26.88
tanomsak
All right. I'll write that down. Don't breathe. But the Evil Dead movie was really good.

00:46:33.83
Jaime G
Uh huh.

00:46:34.96
tanomsak
That one made me squirm.

00:46:39.06
tanomsak
I don't squirm too often when I'm watching these ah horror movies, you know, but That one was, ooh. That one's, that one's.

00:46:49.80
Jaime G
I want to see this one because the the last couple of alien movies where it was the. The Prometheus. They were they were just weird.

00:47:02.10
tanomsak
Yeah, those last ones, said they were okay. But they were weird. like They focused too much on like what the engineer guy was, it the Android guy.

00:47:07.44
Jaime G
Yeah.

00:47:14.53
tanomsak
I can't remember.

00:47:15.84
Jaime G
Adam.

00:47:16.77
tanomsak
Yeah, Adam. I'm like, where are we going with this?

00:47:19.74
Jaime G
I know.

00:47:19.81
tanomsak
I'm like, I wasn't.

00:47:21.76
Jaime G
And then they didn't stop at the first one. They went, they went and followed the same plot in the second. I was just like, oh, dude, come on.

00:47:28.20
tanomsak
Yeah.

00:47:30.77
tanomsak
Yeah, I wish they would get back.

00:47:31.11
Jaime G
Yeah.

00:47:32.94
tanomsak
They need to make one. I mean, we'll see where this goes after Ron was. But it would kind of be pretty cool to see some like colonial Marines, you know, again, here and there, not a whole lot, but some.

00:47:49.21
tanomsak
Just because number two was amazing.

00:47:52.48
Jaime G
But is it like so such a contrast? The first Alien movie, which we were just talking about came out in 1979, 45 years ago, was like, this was like, you know, this, this thing hunting you movie.

00:48:03.02
tanomsak
Crazy.

00:48:09.58
Jaime G
And the second one just like did a 180 and it became an action movie. And it was a good action movie.

00:48:16.94
tanomsak
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Two different types of movies. You know, like you said, first one was a horror movie set on a spaceship monster movie hunting you down.

00:48:27.26
Jaime G
Uh-huh.

00:48:28.24
tanomsak
And then the second one was a military action movie. against a horror creature.

00:48:36.16
Jaime G
Uh-huh.

00:48:36.22
tanomsak
And, uh, just, it's just one of those things that you dreamed about as a kid, right? Just like, Oh man, we're going to go take out these aliens. Just gotta think those Marines were all gungo. We're going to kick some alien, but you know, and you just get, yeah, it's like, man, every kid dreamed of doing that sort of stuff.

00:48:49.44
Jaime G
Right. Throw grenades.

00:48:55.38
tanomsak
And.

00:48:57.84
tanomsak
Then it just all went sideways. ah And it's but it just made the the idea of the alien just like, oh, man, these things are they they're taking out Marines. Right. It's like. But there was one image in this in the trailer for this new alien movie where there's some character, one of the humans is like outside the airlock.

00:49:26.45
tanomsak
And there's like alien acid blood, like a wall of it, just like floating in space.

00:49:26.73
Jaime G
You know, uh huh.

00:49:32.77
tanomsak
And they're like floating toward this, this acid. I'm like, Oh, Oh,

00:49:41.91
Jaime G
what I'm telling you this this seems to me like one of those movies where no one gets out. It went and was it was put.

00:49:47.90
tanomsak
nobody. Yeah. No, there might be one survivor.

00:49:52.05
Jaime G
Nah.

00:49:53.54
tanomsak
yeah I think there's gonna be one survivor just because I was I'll say this because I think this is why because one of the characters in the trailer Gives off like a Sigourney Sigourney Weaver reboot vibe Like they want to take this somewhere more with that character

00:49:56.21
Jaime G
this

00:50:10.61
Jaime G
This Dude that one character that you're thinking of and I don't know who this is it's probably gonna die trying to get the the alien and is going to pull off this ultimate sacrifice where it's like, I need to do this for the greater good because this spaceship is going to land on on Central Park and it everyone's going to be dying or something like that. Mark my words.

00:50:36.20
tanomsak
I don't know. no

00:50:42.12
tanomsak
it Yeah.

00:50:42.25
Jaime G
No one gets out alive.

00:50:45.26
tanomsak
Wasn't they did the aliens on Earth bit, but they combined it with the Predator movie, remember?

00:50:52.58
Jaime G
Oh, yes. Yes, I do remember this movie.

00:50:55.36
tanomsak
So that they said that in like the Pacific Northwest or whatever, like

00:50:55.85
Jaime G
I have it.

00:51:00.46
Jaime G
Uh-huh.

00:51:01.85
tanomsak
Like they went in the hospital and all like in the maternity ward and like all the mothers in there were like had the creatures on their faces and stuff.

00:51:11.68
Jaime G
Yep. Yep.

00:51:14.86
tanomsak
But I

00:51:14.89
Jaime G
I think that this movie is going to be one of those where nobody wins at the end.

00:51:19.73
tanomsak
don't know. I don't know. I'm getting a good vibe from this one character though. But you know, it's interesting. It's like,

00:51:35.19
tanomsak
Yeah, it's interesting that they're going for the Sigourney Weaver reboot vibe. To me. Just saying.

00:51:41.38
Jaime G
Yeah. All right. Tony, if you can. And this is a hard hard ask because this movie is not streaming anywhere. Catch the Don't Breathe movie. It came out in 2016. Don't Google anything. Don't Google anything. The less you know, the better. It's an interesting premise. It's ah it's your it's your typical home invasion movie, right? like These kids go and break into somebody's house and they break into somebody's house because this guy's like ah blind. And so, you know, he'll never see us kind of.

00:52:20.52
tanomsak
Hmm.

00:52:23.69
Jaime G
But this is a ah blind guy that. Here's everything knows where everything's at. You drop a pin somewhere, he knows where you're at, man, he's coming for you.

00:52:31.33
tanomsak
Right.

00:52:37.25
Jaime G
So it was.

00:52:37.49
tanomsak
Oh, you sure this came out 2016?

00:52:40.88
Jaime G
I have 100. Well, there was a sequel to it that came out a year or two ago.

00:52:45.00
tanomsak
OK, I think I've seen the trailers for that, Dan.

00:52:48.22
Jaime G
Right.

00:52:48.24
tanomsak
I think so. Yeah. I saw the trailers for that other one that it just came out like a year or two ago. Okay.

00:52:54.73
Jaime G
Yes. Yeah. but but but But what's the first one? The first, I mean, the sequel got blasted for not being as good as the first one. But again, the less you know about it, I mean, if you see the trailers, what I just said is basically what what what you're expected to know about this movie.

00:53:15.00
tanomsak
Okay.

00:53:16.20
Jaime G
Yeah, it's hard. I mean, you're gonna probably have to get it like oh an Amazon Prime or something. But I mean, but it's good.

00:53:26.19
tanomsak
OK, I'll check it out. Don't breathe. All right. Well, well, I think that.

00:53:36.37
tanomsak
Makes for a pretty good discussion that we had on the Deadpool Wolverine movie and a little bit of Nicolas Cage thrown in there with some aliens on top, so.

00:53:46.83
Jaime G
Yeah.

00:53:49.44
tanomsak
And hopefully we'll get some video games.

00:53:49.56
Jaime G
You know, we never, I have no idea.

00:53:51.44
tanomsak
The video game industry will put out some games that we can talk about. Like what's coming up next? What's the big next biggest release?

00:54:01.40
tanomsak
It is Wukong, Blacksmith Wukong.

00:54:03.41
Jaime G
Outlaws.

00:54:06.19
tanomsak
Is that the next one?

00:54:06.23
Jaime G
I was hyped up about that one. Yeah. I was hyped up but about it. I don't know how to feel about it anymore.

00:54:13.01
Jaime G
I mean, there's not there's again, we're going and and into like a slump of video game releases. I know Star Wars Outlaws is supposed to come out, but I'm just like not. I know there's nothing that's just like, yay, let me go play this. I got more excited about Sendless on zero than anything else. That's actually like a major release.

00:54:33.45
tanomsak
Right, and you you said you completely campaigned on that, right?

00:54:37.26
Jaime G
i I completed as much as I could with the campaign, where basically the game says um it It basically says go do side quests now because you can't i mean you can't progress the campaign any further.

00:54:52.35
Jaime G
and and as i

00:54:52.68
tanomsak
Okay, and you, how much of a grind is it has it been to earn what you've gotten?

00:54:53.60
Jaime G
ah

00:55:00.62
Jaime G
It's it it's it's taken a lot. It's like every day sign in to get sign in bonuses to get currency to buy stuff every day go and do like a big game hunt do like some special missions and and I don't even have all the main characters that you the agents that you can unlock but I've got the ones that I that I want so I'm happy.

00:55:21.11
tanomsak
Yeah.

00:55:25.37
Jaime G
Other people and and and dude, even though after doing all this, I haven't maxed out all the stats in my characters. I'm like, honestly, because you can see like how many there's like eight circles that you can unlock to like power up your character. I've only unlocked three.

00:55:42.22
tanomsak
Yeah.

00:55:46.08
Jaime G
And I thought, oh, if I really am serious about maxing this out, I'll be here for forever.

00:55:56.23
tanomsak
Right. All right. Release dates. Blacksmith Wukong is August 20th. And then 10 days later, we have Star Wars.

00:56:06.19
Jaime G
Yeah, that's the one that's the one that everyone's waiting for.

00:56:06.86
tanomsak
The open world Star Wars.

00:56:10.52
tanomsak
So a couple of big releases within two weeks of each other at the end of the month. And then I don't think there's really anything for the rest of you here, right?

00:56:21.99
Jaime G
No, it's it's it's not a good year for for video game releases, even though we had a great 2023. I seem to think that every game that's going to be a contender for game of the year has already released.

00:56:39.17
tanomsak
Yeah. Yeah. It's pretty very weak year. I mean, they, some of these studios should have held back and just released in 2024.

00:56:50.60
Jaime G
Yeah, because I mean, 2023 was stacked. Everything, everything was coming out. Everything was great. Except Baldur's Gate three, but you know, there's mistakes along the way.

00:57:09.36
tanomsak
Did that one like sweep the rewards?

00:57:09.36
Jaime G
Yeah.

00:57:12.89
tanomsak
Pretty much.

00:57:13.75
Jaime G
may I might've gotten one or two here or there.

00:57:17.45
tanomsak
Yeah.

00:57:19.81
tanomsak
I keep thinking about pulling that game back out and playing it, but I don't have a controller right now, so.

00:57:19.86
Jaime G
Yeah.

00:57:22.98
Jaime G
Did you finish the campaign?

00:57:28.91
tanomsak
um And that's what led me to discover I noticed that the store that the PlayStation Store

00:57:40.68
tanomsak
had Had It was an RPG game and I noticed that you were playing that you had downloaded and played a little bit of it. What was it?

00:57:49.87
Jaime G
Final Fantasy?

00:57:51.14
tanomsak
No Pathfinder Pathfinder or something like that.

00:57:53.43
Jaime G
Sia Stars?

00:57:57.27
Jaime G
What?

00:57:58.28
tanomsak
I Don't remember it was like a three isometric RPG type stop style game And I downloaded it because I've been wanting to get it on my steam deck, but then I saw it on PlayStation and I downloaded it and I went to the old play it and then like everything started acting all crazy on the screen. I'm like, what is going on? And ah that's when I discovered my controller was acting crazy because it's like it would not, it would just like doing this crazy number with the menus.

00:58:33.13
Jaime G
Okay.

00:58:37.56
tanomsak
Then when i even after I uninstalled it, my controller was still doing that. in the Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:58:41.72
Jaime G
Oh, Pathfinder way of the righteous.

00:58:48.12
Jaime G
Oh, okay.

00:58:52.79
Jaime G
You got me there.

00:58:54.55
tanomsak
Yeah.

00:58:54.86
Jaime G
Friends who played whiskey jack.

00:58:59.71
tanomsak
For all of two minutes.

00:59:04.01
Jaime G
Yeah. No, hey, I started playing Overcooked 2 with my son.

00:59:11.72
tanomsak
Yeah.

00:59:12.20
Jaime G
Okay, first off, when you play this game, make sure you play with somebody who can follow instructions and knows how to work as a team.

00:59:23.19
Jaime G
But the game, the game has humor to it. You know how we're talking about Evil Dead, remember the name of the book?

00:59:28.17
tanomsak
Yeah.

00:59:29.31
Jaime G
The Necronomicon?

00:59:31.07
tanomsak
Yeah.

00:59:32.15
Jaime G
So they, in at the beginning of the game, I had forgotten about this, I played it maybe like a year or two ago. ah they They find the book, and it's called the the Necronomnom Nikon. And they and they they raised they raise the unbred.

00:59:52.93
tanomsak
The unbranded.

00:59:54.15
Jaime G
Yeah. And, and here I am, like my son's like asking all these questions like, what's the unbread? And I'm like, well, it's like when bread, you don't eat it on time, it goes bad. This is bad bread.

01:00:10.53
tanomsak
That's funny. Yeah.

01:00:12.64
Jaime G
I know.

01:00:13.95
tanomsak
Trying to play something that requires teamwork with a young child. No, it doesn't work.

01:00:19.65
Jaime G
Very hard.

01:00:23.15
tanomsak
We just have this what well we still have. We had this board game called Arkham Horror and you the object was.

01:00:30.74
Jaime G
which is not related to Arkham Asylum.

01:00:33.42
tanomsak
Right now, yeah, two different things.

01:00:35.62
Jaime G
Yeah.

01:00:35.69
tanomsak
Where these portals, dimensional portals were opening around town and releasing monsters on to the street. And you had to work as a team to close these things, but you had to go find these clue items before you could close the portal.

01:00:52.74
Jaime G
Uh-huh.

01:00:53.06
tanomsak
And you needed five of them. And these clues would show up randomly on the board and only one person could pick them up at a time. And we were playing with our daughter and she was running around grabbing all of the clues, but she would not use them to close the portals. So we were like, Hey, you're supposed to close the portals, but oh I want to go get this and I want to go get that. And it's like. My wife and I were like, you're not working as a team. We are going to lose. And sure enough, we lost.

01:01:28.09
Jaime G
Yeah, yeah, that was that was me playing Overcooked this past weekend with my son

01:01:33.94
tanomsak
Right. So all the movies and stuff that come out where they show like the little kid, you know, ah does something to save the day. That's total fiction. It's not going to happen.

01:01:49.73
tanomsak
All right, well, thanks for joining me for another episode. It's been a couple of weeks, but it was great to get back and talk some Deadpool and. And we're not and hope, hopefully we can get into more video game discussion pretty soon. Went as soon as there's more video games to talk about that are worth talking about.

01:02:10.22
Jaime G
Oh, yeah.

01:02:10.25
tanomsak
And then next week, oh yeah, we're going to try and go to alien because my wife refuses to go to that movie. So we'll have to set a date and time.

01:02:17.88
Jaime G
Sign me up.

01:02:19.22
tanomsak
All right. We'll go watch it.

01:02:20.50
Jaime G
All right.

01:02:21.73
tanomsak
All right.

01:02:22.04
Jaime G
Cool.

01:02:22.18
tanomsak
