Welcome to the DC

James Gunn podcast where

we dissect what's going on in the world of the DC

CU,

whatever he's calling it these days.

Crack open a bottle of wine, maybe a whiskey, roll up a reefer.

Get high, get drunk, get crunk,

and talk about movies, superheroes, and all the things that

matter.

Welcome to episode one

of what I think will be probably the most impressive

in-depth podcast ever

on the DC

cinematic universe.

Started by James Gunn.

Episode one,

where we discuss

the current state of the DC

universe.

I'm joined by my two friends

and I'm your host this evening and will always be.

Let's jump in.

Let's jump into the pod.

And welcome to the podcast.

So let's go around and

let us introduce ourselves.

I know what I'm doing, mate.

I know what I'm doing.

This isn't my first rodeo.

I've hosted a couple of podcasts before, private ones, just for me and my friends.

Is that annoying when I drink?

Like that?

What should I do if I need to have a drink?

I'd say that's at the level of like almost, if you took it a step further, if you escalated that, it would probably start to like get on my nerves.

But at that level,

that is tolerable.

Do not take it past that, though.

Do not.

Okay.

Do not escalate from there.

Because I've got some two-minute noodles that are ready to go, but I'll probably wait until after the podcast that you're going to have to now because we're in it.

We're going to go around and introduce ourselves to the audience.

During the start, my guy, oh, me?

Yeah.

Sure.

Sup, my name's Broden.

I'm 12 years old.

I'm an avid DC fan,

F Marvel.

And I'm excited to talk the upcoming rollout of the Gunniverse.

Yeah.

Yeah, Marvel dropped off after

Avengers, Age of Ultron, in my opinion.

You saw the downward slope.

Once Disney bought them, really just, it was a bit of a

downhill from there.

Didn't they buy them after Hog?

Yeah.

But you can feel...

You can feel it starting to the quality start to dip.

Why don't you introduce yourself, my guy hi my name

sorry hi my name's Zach tell them what makes you think what makes you tick what you love about comics and stuff yeah yeah my name's Zach I'm 14 years old

I um

love I I haven't I've seen all of the DC movies but I can't remember them

because I watched them like at just at parties and stuff and like only and that was like ages ago so sometimes I'm a bit shaky on like some of the plot points and stuff specifically.

But I've seen them all and all the Marvel movies.

Yeah.

And my name's Mark.

I'm your host.

I'm the old dog of the group, 14 and a half.

And

hey, I think all I release the

Aya cut.

Release the

David

Aya cut.

Aya cut.

Release the cut.

What's that

for the layman?

Suicide squad, man.

They bungled it.

Let's talk talk through that.

Let's talk to that.

That's the one I haven't seen.

I just want to say that.

I haven't seen that.

I haven't seen that one.

Do you know what I mean?

Because I think that's the most selfish thing you could do.

What?

Because you.

Oh, suicide.

But

it's not what the movie's about, man.

That's not what the movie's about.

The movie is about a miscreant gang of criminals who are mercenaries.

And

the theatrical cut, Two Stars, my only review for that is Wasted Potential.

Okay.

Because it could have been...

Take us through what the Suicide Squad for the Layman, what it is.

So Amanda Waller is just a badass.

What does he do?

He's walling.

No.

No, not a man that's walling.

Amanda Waller.

It's the name of the character.

Come on, man.

Seriously.

Oh, you said you were going to do your research yeah manda waller yes i remember she's in played by a beautiful actress she's in um

yep yes you're talking about yeah viola davis yes i love

the seminal work the help

one of my favorite films really yeah yeah

i prefer the i i not that i prefer but i really like the color purple That for me, that's right up there for me.

Yeah, another great film.

Oprah, motherfucking motherfucking Winfrey.

I started calling her that after I saw that movie.

Hunch.

100 cent.

Hunch.

100 cent.

When I hear Oprah Winfrey, I think sick day.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

So.

I think Ricky Lake.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Suicide squad.

What is suicide?

Suicide squad is

a bandit of misfits, of villains, of rogues who are sent on missions deemed too dangerous

for the justice.

That happens in the DC universe.

So the Batman, it's a world of Batmans, it's a world of dead shots, it's a world of

killer croc.

They're all in this world.

They are, yeah.

And

Amanda Waller puts them all together.

Why do they agree to do it, though?

Because, man, they have.

See,

this is the thing that makes it fucking better than anything Marvel could ever dream up of because they don't have the nuts or the balls to really like

to make, to take this level of maturity with their characters.

Okay.

Because it's a step too far.

They like their baby stuff.

You know, they like to make sure little babies can watch their

movies.

Whereas this is for like, you've got to like, have been through some fucking shit

to like get this, to understand this, right i mean it's in the title suicide squad dark themes

right

and uh she puts this uh but how does she make them do it she puts a bomb in their neck and says if you don't do it battle royale

completely different ma'am completely different completely but don't fucking

don't fucking bring that up top five that's really a lot like battle royale

because isn't that the one

top five suicide Squad Miscreant Mercenaries.

That's hard to pick.

Because it's a Rogues Gallery.

And I do want to say...

It's a Rogues Gallery.

It's a Rogues Gallery.

It features some of

Kara Delavan, yeah.

She plays the witch.

Yeah, she's screw hot.

Yeah,

the Enchantress.

The

Enchanter.

Enchantress.

So you put her in your top five?

Well, it's a hard.

Now, what are we talking?

Are we talking about the David Ayer Aya?

The date released that cut, by the way, but we'll get to that.

What is the David Ayer cut?

The David Ayer cut is a version of the film that is a little more soulful, a little more.

Have you seen the Brad Pitt movie about the tanks?

No.

Fury.

I mean, Fury.

Ah, yes, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's more like...

He's in a tank.

Yeah.

he's in a tank.

It has more of that sort of emotional.

That movie makes me cry every time I.

Fury?

It makes me cry every time I watch it, man.

I bawl my fucking eyes out.

Yeah, but they get laid is my favorite bit in the town during World War II.

They get it on.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I mean, that bit for me, that's just like

everyday stuff for me that doesn't really like...

It doesn't affect me that much because I'm like, oh yeah, that's, you know, that's peaches and oranges, mate.

I love stuff that's in the pantry every day.

I love Fury.

He's my top five king shark.

Can I tell you?

Black Manta, Captain Boomerang, Count Vertigo, Rick Flag.

Talk to me about Count Vertigo.

Sure.

What do you like about him?

Now, don't look at your computer.

Don't look at your computer.

He's sick.

He's the clue master.

Yeah.

The copperhead.

What do you mean by that?

He's a super villain.

But what do you mean by copperhead?

He's got a head made of copper.

What do you want from me?

No, I'm just asking.

No, you know your stuff.

I was just checking.

Yeah, yeah.

I loved Fury.

How come?

Make you cry?

Yeah, Made Me Cry, and I loved the scene where they got laid

in the town.

That's just the scene that he said he liked.

Oh, yeah, you liked that scene too?

Yeah, I love that scene.

That's my favourite scene, too.

Man, when he gets into that tank for the first time, I bawl my fucking eyes out every time.

It breaks my heart.

And well, this is the thing.

you haven't had the life i've had you haven't experienced the things did you find in i've experienced and sometimes

not necessarily but a war of sort of

emotions you better hope we don't go to war because i will fuck shit up oh no i'm sure i believe you man i'm sure you would me i'm a pacifist i don't believe in that stuff anymore because after what i've been through in my life and it's just one of those things boys because i'm a little bit older than you guys and

sometimes it's hard to explain but when a man

years yes I can see thus yeah but when a man when a man experiences life the way I have you see something like that you see like you see Brad Pitt get behind that wheel of that tank settle in do they control

your major point yeah and it makes me cry because it just takes me back to a place in my life

right

that is there's no point sitting here and explaining it the last movie that made me cry was awakenings What's that?

It's a movie where

Robin Williams is a doctor and

Robert De Niro has a disease that means he's like can't move.

And then Robin Williams gives him like the medicine and then he can talk and move and then they become friends.

And then can I give away the end?

Yeah.

Then the medicine stopped working and then Robert De Niro goes and can't move again.

And it's like they have to say goodbye.

And I cried.

And then, but I'd also had a really hard day at grade three that day yeah right

what happened it's just a tough day I think Daniel was mean to me yeah right you should have come to me mate I would have fucking broken his neck well that's right that's my friend because I protect my brood

you're mean to me a lot too yeah but that's different man because we're we're friends in world war if World War three to come around tomorrow like that yeah

I would be on it.

Where would you fight frontline?

They would, I'm, where I'm stationed, wherever they station me, wherever I feel, they feel my skills are best.

Yeah, yeah.

Because, yeah, because you're more of like a fighter, right?

You're more of like a

no.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

Because I'm like, I'm a general type.

I'm like,

I'm the kind that

people look to me for.

for answers, people look to me for leadership.

And so I would need to be in a position where I am protecting my men, but giving them

sort of those sort of, because I inspire that sort of courage with i i i would be like the shogun so like the overseer but also the greatest samudai yeah but you're down there fighting well that because the greatest leaders lead from the front yeah not always but yeah

i think i'd be cowards i think i'd be a cook

well yeah no the boys need to be fed and the girls

Yeah, and everyone else.

I would be the shogun.

I think I'd make like a big pot of stew for all the boys.

Yeah,

yeah, I would be selected as the leader of the Australian Empire.

Would you get to pick what

they eat?

It would not bother me as long as it's high-protein.

I'd mainly have protein milkshakes.

Yeah.

So

now.

If I was the shogun, I would mainly have protein milkshakes.

So we're here to talk about James Gunn.

Yeah, and why don't we start with his first ever DC film, Suicide Squad?

What?

I thought that was A.

No, it was another one.

There was a second

movie.

I've seen both.

Have you?

Yes.

Two seconds ago.

I forgot.

You forgot about the James Gunn Suicide Squad.

There's Suicide Squad and there's the Suicide Squad.

We should not have to be describing.

We are supposed to be experts.

We'll cut this this bit.

Yeah.

I reckon.

Because that's embarrassing.

I've made a mistake, but I've seen the both of them.

What's your favorite one?

Why?

Who's your favorite character?

And what do you prefer about one film compared to the other?

And can I just say for starters, if you're listening to this and you want spoiler, this is the wrong one for you.

Fuck off.

Yeah, no, we've seen all of the movies and we will discuss them ad nauseum.

So don't fucking come on here.

Don't I don't want in the comments.

You ruined the movie for me.

I hadn't seen it.

off this what i love about experts what i love about the second movie is it starts and says this is who the suicide squad is and they will die yeah do you know what that's called that's called a subversion of expectations no i don't think you do yeah i knew that no because when we were watching it's when the camera's coming on the camera pens goes well i guess the story's about these guys now then because and that all the promo and all the trailers and and photos for the movie yeah they all had um the certain ones that these are going to be the ones yeah yeah yeah and then they all fucking die.

Yeah.

Ariana Grande's ex was in it.

Peely Kinklage.

Yeah.

And I thought he was going to be the star of it.

But I remember when we watched it, you were like really confused and upset because you were like, what?

What?

No, this wasn't what I was promised.

I thought this was going to be a movie about them.

Why are they all dead?

And then when it went over, you were like...

what why is there a second team was whereas me i was just like i'll get you gunned i understand exactly what you've done you did say that in the cinema you said i get you gunned You said that seven times during the movie.

Like, it felt like you came into the movie wanting to say that.

Like, I get you, gun.

You kept saying it.

Like, the first time, two times you whispered it and then looked around.

Yeah.

And then, like, the last four or five times you were like yelling it.

Yeah, yeah.

Well, when a filmmaker, like when a filmmaker does exactly what you would have done,

right?

Had I been handed.

that film, I would have made the exact same choices that he made because I've been thinking about this for fucking ages.

Right.

And I've got screenplays that I've written for a whole, like, for almost every DC character, every mainstay character.

I've got a Batman film, right?

I've got a Superman film.

I've got a Green Lantern Corpse film.

I don't know if you know about the Green Lantern Corpse.

Yes.

You probably know about the character, but you probably don't know about the corpse.

Oh, yeah, yep.

I love the Suicide Squad.

Which one?

Which is my favorite.

That was the question you asked me.

Yeah, and why?

What do you like about it?

And who's your favorite character?

I think that if I was...

I think that my favorite one is probably the

second one that was directed by James Gunn.

Yeah.

But that's because I haven't seen the Aya cut yet.

Yeah, and I hope to God one day we all get to.

And I was in two minds about James Gunn version

because I love Snyder-Verse.

Yeah.

But then when the twist happened in the film where it wasn't about the team, you know, that bit where it wasn't about the team you thought it was going to be about.

The bit we were discussing before.

Oh, yes.

Yeah.

I believe you mentioned it too because I've seen it.

And when they, when it was the team that was advertised and then they all died,

I was like, oh, wow, this is not what I was expecting, but I'm very excited to see where it goes from here.

Yeah.

And my favorite character in the suicide squad is is amanda waller

amanda waller yeah no other character none of the actual members of the suicide squad

uh there's a few i can't pick which one

the one barbie

what the one um margo robbie margo robbie plays yeah harley quinn harley quinn the joker's girlfriend the joker's girlfriend she's probably my favorite

and she's in with the one She's in.

It feels like

you haven't seen any of these films, but you're doing your best to bluff through them.

I've seen them all, but I just can't remember them very much because I was drunk when I watched them all.

Oh, yeah.

On what?

What were you drinking?

Wine.

Watch this, Mark.

Hey, Zach, did you like Captain Blade?

Yeah.

Huh.

He's not a character.

Captain Blade's not a character, man.

Oh, I thought you just said...

Sorry, can you say that again?

Well, no, because.

I misheard you.

Can you say that again?

Do you like Captain Blade?

I don't think that's a character.

I thought you said Blade.

Well, that is a Marvel.

That is a R.

That's a Marvel character, so that's fair enough.

I'll tell you what.

I'll tell you one thing.

I like when you said the R word in the new one.

Remember how you were talking about that?

What?

I like how he said the R word in Deadpool Wolverine.

I think it was good.

good.

R-word?

R-word.

In Deadpool Wolverine.

I don't see Marvel IP.

Ah, okay.

Yeah, I don't touch it.

I don't care if he's got this suit on.

I don't care if he's got that funny.

Pretty funny, but they're pretty funny.

So you have seen it?

Well, from afar.

What do you mean?

What do you mean by from afar?

What do you mean from afar?

I was seeing an art house film at Jam Factory, and

what film?

Anomaly.

Anomaly.

Anomaly.

Yeah.

Jam Factory does a show art house films.

They've got to deal with the

Palace down the road.

So there's Palace Tramo on the corner.

Jordan Festival.

They don't do Festival.

Let's Jordan Festival.

What's Anomaly?

It's a film about.

I mean, Amelie?

Yeah, it's a Claymation.

Oh,

Anna Lisa.

Yeah, by my favourite writer.

Charlie Kaufman.

Yeah.

Ah, yep.

I love that.

And I was going to see that, and I poked my head in.

Yeah.

To Deadpool Wolverine.

Couple laughs.

That's pretty good.

Yeah.

He's pretty good.

He's pretty good.

He breaks the fourth wall.

He breaks the fifth and the sixth wall.

Yeah.

Deadpool's probably the character.

But isn't he bisexual?

He can be.

Or he flirts with it.

I would say he's bicurious.

Okay.

Yeah.

Which, you know,

that's cool as fuck.

Yeah.

Anyway,

so the suicide squad.

Good flick.

Yeah, sick.

I give it three blades.

But what do we think about his now doing the Snyder-verse?

Well, he's not.

Oh, man.

This is why we're going to keep him on the podcast.

Because it's actually good banter to have someone who, like,

isn't fully across it all, you know.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

I'm fully across it all.

What are you talking about?

Well, he's not doing the Snyder-Verse.

Snyder-verse is fucking dead, mate.

It's dead.

And we, the fans, revived it, brought it back for one more big outing.

Probably one of the best three-star movies ever made.

Suicide Squad four-hour version.

Yeah.

The Snyder cut.

Jasmine.

Pardon?

So he did make the...

Oh, you did make the Suicide Squad cut.

No.

No, we're still, as a fan base, we're still trying to get Warner Brothers to release it.

But you just said there was a four-hour version version of Suicide.

Of Justice League.

Oh, okay.

I'm sorry.

Yeah, from the Snyder version.

Oh, that one.

Yes.

I love that one.

Yeah.

Yes, I love that one.

Four hours long.

Yeah.

And more of it.

Yeah, there was more of it.

More of that is

pretty good.

That's a good description of the film, boy.

I watched the black and white 4-3 version.

Can we cut this shit, man?

Of course, man.

I'm always about cutting this shit.

Can we just talk about the Dark Crusader?

What's that?

The Dark Crusader.

Oh, yes, yes, happy to.

Who also goes by the name of.

What's the question exactly?

Let's talk about the Dark Crusader.

Yes.

What is their name?

That's my favourite character.

Yeah.

And then

we would just, and we'll talk about their name.

Right, shall we?

Yeah.

Go for it.

What did you like?

Did you re-see the recent release of the Penguins series?

I haven't watched it yet.

I haven't had time.

I've had a lot on my plate.

Name what you've been doing.

I've been watching the Batman animated, the new Batman animated series.

You haven't watched the largest.

I don't know if you've seen it, but they subvert...

expectations.

I don't know.

Because I know you're not a fan of having your expectations subverted.

I know when, I know you two boys, you have your expectations, and if they're subverted, you get like confused and angry.

Me, I live for that shit, right?

I love, I love

when an artist comes in and does an interpretation of something that I did not expect.

That shit makes me cry.

When the penguin was a woman in the new Batman animated series, I cried from tears of joy and...

You cry quite easily in

the things seem to trigger you.

It's actually quite...

Girls love a man that can cry.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Do they?

Is that why you're saying it?

I don't cry from pain, though.

You could punch me as hard as you fucking wanted in the face and not a tear, not even a drop of blood.

I meditate.

What about that time?

What about that time you punched the wall?

Pardon?

What about that time you punched the wall and

I dropped my chicken tenders on the ground?

Yeah, but you know what?

And I fucking spent half an hour, you know, prepping them and cooking them.

And yeah, I cried, but more because of an overwhelming sense of

preparing to be a shogun, I weep at nothing.

And

I am simple and solemn.

Simple is a good explanation for how you are, I agree.

Well, in the terms that you put it, sure, I'll take that because

I'm going to be a shogun.

I'm layered.

I'm going to be a shogun.

Yeah.

What do you mean?

I'm going to lead the Australian Empire into World War III.

Yeah.

So my question is, do you think that

he has what it takes to make the new soup?

New Superman?

Yeah, I call him soup.

Man, he's putting...

You call him soup?

Yeah, it's like a nickname because I'm such a big fan.

Yeah.

S-O-U-P?

You don't call that

like soup.

The nickname for Superman is not soup.

What?

What do you mean?

We don't, no one's ever cooked.

No one's ever.

Don't call him soup.

There's no nickname for Superman.

Maybe the

people don't reach Super

Carl.

Nah.

Only time I'm ever talking about soup is when I'm having an entree before my main meal.

Because I love to have a, I always, before every meal.

Before dinner, I'm like a three-course guy, right?

Start with a soup, then move on to your main, your meat, your veggies.

And that's a good idea.

That's a very Italian dessert.

And then a light dessert, pardon?

It's a very Italian.

I don't know if it is, man.

It's just the way I was born.

Whenever I come over to your house, it's always like a little bit of

pasta, and I think that's dinner.

I eat the pasta.

I'm like, oh, that was yummy.

I might even have seconds.

And then your mum brings out the schnitzel.

And then your mum brings out that big bag of nuts.

It's in the middle of the table.

Yeah, and then fresh fruit as well.

My family will do bolognese with a big bowl of ravioli.

Yeah.

From the packet.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Using Latina.

Well, that is the best one.

Market agrees.

Yeah, best one that you can't, you know, if if you're not making it.

I'm starting with a posada, a plain posada.

That's like my blank canvas.

Because for me, cooking is like painting.

For me, it's like art.

My mum does what she can.

For me, I'm creating.

I'm mixing it up.

I'm the kind of guy, I'm the kind of man who will look at a recipe once, yep, I'll get the gist, and then I just go and I play.

You're a 14-year-old man who's an artist.

14 and a half.

14 and a half artist who cooks

his artist, his cooking.

You know, know, I can see 18-year-old man.

You know, I have synesthesia with food.

So when I like.

Is that why you're upset that you dropped your chicken tenders?

Yes, because I was like, how am I going to see the color orange?

I have a condition called achalacea.

What's that?

Is that a skin thing?

No,

I have a tiny little throat and I can't swallow my dogs.

Can't swallow them.

Unless I chew them a lot.

Yeah.

Not a lot of people can, man, just swallow a dog hole.

But mine is, it's it's a condition that I live with day to day where I have to be careful in the meats that I swallow and whether I chew them enough.

Yeah.

I'm missing a bit of my kidney.

Why?

Because I had an extra tube.

Yeah.

My piss is getting into my blood.

So the penguin series, I don't want to ruin it for anyone, but...

No, I've seen it.

I've seen it.

Well, how does it end?

Ends with the penguin doing some crazy shit.

Well, I'll just say this because you clearly haven't seen it.

So I'm just going to move on from that.

I'm just going to say something.

I'm excited for the next feature-length Batman.

The Batman.

The Batman part two, I think.

Not specifically under

James Gunn's

ruling, guiding hand.

He's going to have his own Batman in the Brave and the Bold.

Which might be the cinemas.

On this movie, we're talking this Batman.

I hope they don't curtail him and make it under six hours.

Yeah.

I hope it's the true Matt Reeves.

Who is the director?

Did Planet of the Apes.

Expression.

Batman.

I don't want him to cut away.

He did the second one.

Planet of the Apes.

A lot of monkeys.

A lot of apes.

Yeah, apes is the correct word.

Chimpanzees, orangutans.

The first one.

Gorillas.

The first, the Batman.

That's like

he got the length he needed, Yeah, that's what you I feel.

Yeah, it was good length.

It was like could have been longer.

Because it was like, ah.

Because I often feel when I watch a movie, I'll watch a movie and like the story will be done

in an hour and a half to two hours.

And I'll go, God, I just want to see them drive around a city for 40 minutes.

Yeah.

My one completely.

Does that happen in that one?

I think the Batman is.

Pretty much perfect flick.

I put it up there with the Godfather.

Well, it's for the first time.

I said, when I saw this movie at the cinema, I went, finally, thank you.

Yes.

A detective story for Batman.

Finally.

Yes, yes.

I remember thinking the same thing, if not more.

Finally, Batman is a detective.

It's kind of like Godfather, the Batman Godfather Part 2.

And I think, you know, some of the greatest pieces of cinema that we've got to experience in our time.

My one complaint, if I had a complaint, and it's a pretty big one, is that I just, because if I was Batman, I would have just, I would have I would have like made love to Selena Kyle

I would have made love to Catwoman in that movie and he doesn't quite close the deal there and that's not the Batman that I know or that I would want to be well he's got rubber all over his dick how does he get out there's no fly he has rubber all over his dick

that's what you meant to do isn't it That's a protective suit that he's wearing.

Yeah, how do you get his dick out to root?

He just would take his pants.

How?

Off.

What do you mean here?

You see him as Bruce Wayne Wayne in the movie.

That's what I'd love to see more in some of these movies: the transition from

their suits and you don't see that enough.

Like the pulling their rubber pants off.

Yeah, yeah.

Because that would pull your hairy legs.

Yeah.

You see that more, like, quite a bit in Batman and Robin.

See him put his pants on.

Yeah, you do.

You get some nice close-ups of it.

Really?

Yeah, yeah.

Some good close-ups of him pulling off.

Batman putting his pants on.

Yeah.

There's literally, there are literally shots of Batman and Robin putting their pants on.

His pants on?

Yeah, I want that.

And he has his ass perfectly molded.

Yeah, there's that bit, yeah.

I want to see the truck, the struggle, though, of putting his pants on.

They put them on nice and they snap right on.

Yeah, I don't want that quick thing.

I want a man struggling with rubber pants.

Yeah.

Having his old butler

pull them off.

Yeah.

Peel them off.

Because they'd be sweaty.

You're going to help me peel off these pants.

But

yeah.

But, you know,

so

James Gunn, what a gun.

Do you think he's got it?

I think he's got what it takes.

He's put a super dog

in

the new Superman movie,

Crypto.

Yeah, so he got a dog and said, now I'm putting a dog in Superman.

Yeah, and you hear that.

Yeah, you hear that and you go.

It's not out yet.

We haven't seen it, man.

It's not out.

It's still

in post-production.

That's where they

put the whole film together.

And it's actually where you decide what kind of film it's the final draft.

But you saw, so he's not in it yet.

Crypto.

But I saw him talk.

Did he like show a trailer or a video or a picture of it?

He showed one picture of the dog.

The picture, that's what I saw.

Yeah, but not of the dog.

Of the dog?

Dude.

Yeah.

You've just got to be yourself on these things, man.

But you said I had to pretend.

Yeah, but it's a blend.

It's a blend of pretending

because sometimes you say shit that's so obviously a lie.

Yeah.

And you need to find the time.

You need to, you know, just do a little bit of research.

Okay.

That's all we ask.

I'd like read about them and stuff, but

I've seen Eternals and I've seen the first Supermans.

Marvel.

One of those is Marvel and one of those is DC.

I'm going to let you guess which one is which.

Oh.

Well,

it's been a great podcast, been a good podcast.

I'm sorry, guys.

You've got to stop apologizing, man.

I'm sorry, I didn't want to do this podcast.

Save it for after the podcast.

Don't do it on the podcast because I don't know how to go back and delete stuff.

Okay.

So, this is going to be in it.

Sorry.

Stop apologizing.

Sorry, guys.

Just own it.

Just own who you are.

I don't know.

Like I do.

I don't know.

Like Broden does.

Yo.

Just be yourself.

I'm here.

Fuck it.

That's...

You know, Monty Python's attitude?

I heard Eric Idle say this once.

He said their attitude was fuck off.

He said their attitude to everything, to comedy, to the world, fuck off.

And I've taken that into my life.

I can talk about my favorite movie that I've seen this year.

What is it?

Did you like that?

Is it a DC film?

No, but I could talk about it.

What is it?

It's a film called Dunstan Checks In.

That is.

We only saw that this year.

40 years old, aren't we?

It's about a monkey.

Yeah, I know it's about a kid and his monkey.

It's really funny.

George from Seinfeld is in it.

Jason Alexander.

I think he says shit, even though it's G.

You can get away with it.

You can get a couple of people.

Film is versus 30 years old.

I loved Dunstan Checks In.

But this is the thing.

I bring up Dunstan Checks In, and you guys tease me for it.

We are on a superhero-focused podcast.

And whilst the Rangutan is cool, he is not a

he is not a DC superhero.

DC superheroes.

Not to say that there aren't some orangutans

who aren't DC superheroes.

There probably would be one.

I don't know.

There would be.

Yeah, there would be.

Look it up.

Some sort of super ape.

So I'm not allowed to talk about Dunstan Chexy.

This Gorilla Grod.

Yeah, that's a villain of the...

I believe that's one of the Flash's rogues.

There's Detective Chimp.

There you go.

There's multiples.

Monsieur Muller.

Fuck, man.

What do you want?

Congorilla.

Jesus.

Solo var.

Too many.

I think it's...

They're mostly gorillas.

I think if I ever made a comic book movie, I would just like write anything that popped into my head and then give it to a comic book nerd and be like, find me the character.

Yeah.

Let's go to pick up the movie.

There's got to be one that's...

It's got to be one that's close.

I've written the detective monkey.

Find me the detective monkey in the hundred years of this comic movie.

There's a Spider-Man villain called Big Wheel.

Not for this podcast.

Not for this podcast.

Boys, I just want to say thank you so much for letting me be on your podcast.

Hey, we love you.

You're our brother.

Brother-in-arms.

Stop apologizing.

But you've got to just fucking

be comfortable in your own skin, man, like me and Broden.

Shogun Broden.

You're a Shogun.

General Mark.

Okay.

Tells the Shogun what to do when no.

No, you do not.

Gives him the plan.

He's the big thinker.

I look up to you guys.

I know that you're two years younger than me and you're half a year older than me.

But I look up to you guys.

You're like real inspiration.

The Shogun would be lost without the general laying out the plan and the big thinking.

The Shogun.

The Shogun is

the small Warhammer, the Space Marine in 40K, and I'm the one making the calls.

I'm rejoiced to know that

you're my

chief military commander.

Yeah, down on the board, small, me, above, looking down, making sure it's all working, winning every battle.

Thanks, boys.

Crocking.

Crocking.

Thanks, boys.

Hey, you're welcome.

I'm just going to, you know.

Close this out.

Let's get into the ring after this.

Do a couple rounds.

Just to get your confidence up.

Yeah.

Right.

And I'll let you get a couple in.

I'll let you get a couple in, but then I will fucking

knock you out cold, but that's a lesson you've got to learn.

You boys are a real inspiration.

Close out with a theme song.

Yeah.

All right.

We're off.

We're going to go spa for a couple of hours.

And thanks for joining us on the first, the penultimate episode of DCU
