black American 02:11 lady there were quite a few of us 02:12 represented 02:13 both in absentia and in person which was 02:16 cool that's really cool yeah yeah it was 02:18 a really good experience if

okay 02:40 speaking of globe-trotting mm-hmm today 02:43 we're gonna talk about that new Star 02:45 Wars trailer yeah and we're gonna talk 02:49 about this new surprisingly blackity 02:52 black watchman Joe oh my god so we're 02:57 gonna start off with the Star Wars 02:58 trailer because everyone should have 03:00 seen that it's easy to see we're gonna 03:03 give our thoughts and maybe even some 03:04 predictions what will happen in the 03:07 movie and then we're going to get into 03:08 the suppose with Watchmen mm-hmm so 03:11 let's get started with the rise of 03:13 Skywalker the final trailer mm-hmm well 03:17 we were general thoughts about it okay 03:22 we only expect good because that's what 03:25 you so now look original 03:28 old-school of Star Wars a new hope is 03:30 legit my favorite movie of all time okay 03:33 I have an unreasonable love for them not 03:35 not Empire okay Empire as an adult 03:38 that's the one that I like to rewatch 03:40 the most but just as far as like the 03:42 perfect marriage of nostalgia and 03:44 enjoyment it's a new hope okay that I 03:46 love that movie okay to a ridiculous 03:51 amount I think I have several copies of 03:53 that movie in different formats that's 03:54 how much I love it and half the movie 03:56 memorized okay 03:57 I really love Star Wars however I 04:02 watched this trailer three times and I 04:04 could not tell you what was going on in 04:06 it I was so like just not into it okay I 04:11 think it's because I was so disappointed 04:12 by the previous film hmm but I'm really 04:16 just kind of expecting great visuals and 04:18 no real resolutions or interesting bits 04:20 to the story or anything really 04:23 innovative I struggled 04:27 in the words of the coolest black 04:30 fictional character on screen Morpheus I 04:32 know exactly what you mean good I was 04:40 expecting you to spit flames at me for 04:42 that I'm glad it wasn't just me oh my 04:43 gosh all for me the force awakens 04:45 trailer led us to believe that there 04:48 would be a new hope figuratively 04:50 mmm-hmm but it was just a new hope 04:52 literally yeah 04:54 and then the last Jedi trailer led us to 04:57 believe that change was on the way but 04:59 that change was super wack yeah like it 05:03 looked pretty though it did but that was 05:06 all but this new trailer really feels 05:09 like a Return of the Jedi rehash and 05:12 they're not even trying to hide it yeah 05:16 yeah when you say it that way I think 05:18 you probably right yeah like I'm with 05:21 you like I'm just bored I'm a huge Star 05:24 Wars fan i watch the originals Empire is 05:28 when my favorite movies of all time but 05:30 I just think have you watched the TV 05:33 shows bits of them I haven't had a 05:35 chance to really get deep into them but 05:37 yeah I've watched some they are 05:39 incredible 05:40 the TV shows that Clone Wars and rebels 05:42 have done such a great job of fleshing 05:44 out characters and marks and worlds that 05:48 these movies now just continuously feel 05:52 lacking in comparison right and I think 05:54 part of it is that so when you look back 05:57 at all to the first trilogy on star wars 05:59 that the first trilogy chronologically 06:01 speaking not narrative Lee speaking when 06:04 you look back at that trilogy what they 06:05 did was really innovative like you had 06:08 never seen large-scale space battles 06:10 right extreme before you had it was they 06:13 took all of the old hokey tropes of the 06:15 well-made play and turned it into a 06:17 science fiction epic and you really 06:19 hadn't ever seen that before they looked 06:21 at good versus evil in like this kind of 06:23 I don't know this sort of postmodern 06:25 sort of fantasy world and you guys never 06:27 really had a hit movie like that before 06:30 but none of that innovation is present 06:33 in the current Star Wars films yeah the 06:35 movies really didn't grow with they 06:37 didn't exactly they're not really doing 06:38 anything new anymore 06:40 and even okay the second trilogy 06:42 chronologically speaking not narrative 06:44 Lee the second trilogy isn't good but it 06:47 had a lot of potential yeah you can 06:49 retell those stories a lot and it did 06:51 give rise to the Clone Wars series and 06:53 the other what's the name of the other 06:55 series rebels rebels yeah which from 06:57 what I've seen I haven't watched them 06:58 all but some I've seen they're really 06:59 good and we wouldn't have had those 07:02 really if you like Star Wars if you love 07:05 they are the best stories of the Canon 07:12 so far to me interesting 07:13 they're amazing amazing all of them I 07:18 mean wow but the problem but my point 07:21 ultimately is that even though the 07:24 second trilogy is not great it was still 07:25 trying to be innovative and in some ways 07:28 it still was I mean you had full CGI 07:30 characters on screen you had a lot of 07:32 kind of new filmmaking stuff going on 07:35 even though the narrative was lacking 07:36 even the choreography yeah the fight 07:39 choreography all of that yeah but now 07:41 this third series I don't know what 07:43 they're doing that hasn't been done 07:44 before and they're not even telling a 07:46 good story to go with it right 07:47 yeah I'd agree and it's bad because 07:50 they're doing so many things that if we 07:52 had had a if we had had a black 07:55 stormtrooper turned protagonists in the 07:58 first trilogy oh my goodness 08:00 six-year-old me would not have survived 08:02 to be a detective right now I beat it it 08:04 would have died on the spot oh my gosh 08:05 right so there's all these interesting 08:08 things that they're doing but they're 08:10 just not backing it up with anything 08:12 it's just all smoke and mirrors 08:13 I agree it's like for for some 08:16 properties we lament condensing TV shows 08:19 into movies because they they often lose 08:21 something in the process or books and to 08:23 move the process but it's like Star Wars 08:25 went from movies to TV shows and because 08:28 they produced the best stories in that 08:30 format it's hard to go back to this kind 08:32 of basic trilogy format because as you 08:35 said there's just a lot that you could 08:37 get out of it but they're just throwing 08:39 out for the visuals or symbolism it's a 08:42 woman doing it now exactly yeah well 08:44 yeah that's nice but what is she 08:46 actually doing right and the other thing 08:48 that's exactly you have a really good 08:49 point because it's the basic trilogy 08:52 format doesn't work if you're going to 08:53 go back to 08:54 basic trilogy you've got to do something 08:56 fresh and amazing right you can't do 08:58 like you can't do like the sixth-grade 09:01 coloring book I think I'm gonna paint it 09:03 black because it's funny kind of thing 09:04 that's not cool yeah all right it's just 09:06 boring so yeah I mean even Hollywood 09:08 itself has gotten out of it right I mean 09:11 even Harry Potter had a part two to its 09:13 story like don't be a slave yeah so 09:19 let's get to the app to the actual 09:21 trilogy and our predictions 09:24 sorry quickly running back did I say a 09:26 sixth grade coloring book clearly I was 09:28 in sixth grade apologies that was a 09:34 horrible metaphor I mean we have adult 09:37 coin books now that can be something in 09:39 between yeah I guess if there are sixth 09:41 grade coloring books somebody let me 09:42 know oh my gosh anyway did you read any 09:45 of the books the e yes okay the extended 09:48 universe yeah tons of them but none of 09:50 them are canon anymore because of this 09:51 new trilogy which they could have 09:53 adapted it would have been dope and I 09:55 want to get to that because when I saw 09:57 the trailer I thought of two stories 09:59 specifically okay and I don't know if 10:02 you thought of any did anything called 10:04 top after head I didn't I was so busy 10:06 trying to concentrate on the actual 10:08 trailer I'm hearing out of it yeah 10:09 basically that I couldn't really make 10:11 any association reference associations 10:14 that's it 10:15 okay you know was weird to me in that 10:17 trailer when Ray was like everyone 10:19 thinks they know me we don't know but 10:22 nobody does you're right who are you yes 10:25 really 10:26 it's like from a new hole we knew who 10:28 Luke was you know like now if the gate 10:30 we knew who everybody was everybody 10:32 stood yeah I mean he was like he came 10:34 out the gate I want to get the power 10:36 converters to hacci station he's a dork 10:38 and but he's somehow the master of the 10:40 universe 10:40 okay great sure why not yeah exactly but 10:43 you know there's this is what I mean 10:45 though if you're gonna use those tropes 10:46 you got to use them oh and if you're not 10:48 gonna use those Trump's you've got to 10:49 build a new one right and they didn't do 10:52 either of those she's just like nobody 10:54 knows me we're like yeah why are you 10:55 here yeah cuz I'm a woman okay anyway 10:58 okay let's go to so my first story is 11:02 the dark in Peyer story do you even read 11:05 that like dark so dark 11:07 horse comic from the early 90s refresh 11:10 my memory okay so dark Empire takes 11:13 place six years after the Battle of 11:16 Endor there are these new weapons called 11:20 world devastators that were introduced 11:23 in the story and some say they are worse 11:24 in the Death Star they essentially land 11:27 on planets and they use strong 11:29 specialized tractor beams to tear 11:31 resources from the planet to fuel the 11:33 ship itself or use the resources to make 11:36 new ships and weapons within its 11:39 molecular furnace the tearing of the 11:42 planet itself could kill the planet 11:44 completely so it didn't like blow it up 11:45 but it would just tear it apart 11:48 yeah yeah I vaguely remember this one I 11:50 don't think I actually read it but I 11:52 think I read because it was like a 11:53 really long weirdly long run for a Dark 11:56 Horse comic wasn't it I think it was it 11:58 was a two or three parter really okay 12:00 then maybe I'm thinking something 12:01 different but anyway okay the relevant 12:03 part here hmm is that Palpatine mm-hmm 12:06 had been cloning himself for many years 12:09 in order to attempt to rule forever he 12:13 had been transferring his mind and 12:14 consciousness into new bodies and in 12:16 this story 12:17 Luke was seduced by his power and 12:19 charisma and became his apprentice for a 12:22 short time okay I do remember this yes 12:27 okay and then it was a graph yeah yeah 12:30 okay yeah it wasn't a book book yeah it 12:31 wasn't a comic book yeah 12:33 and he used the talk you know being by 12:36 my side is your destiny and birth right 12:38 and I feel like because we know 12:40 Palpatine's in this new movie in some 12:42 capacity he may he may be a clone and he 12:46 may say the same kind of thing to kylo 12:48 and part of the story from dark empire 12:52 was Papa teen was wanting to inhabit lay 12:55 his unborn child Anakin as his next 12:57 vessel so in this story he might want to 13:00 kind of groom kylo and raise his level 13:03 up but also try to inhabit him mm-hmm 13:05 this time yeah okay 13:08 yeah that would be an interesting way to 13:10 explain Snoke because he's another one 13:13 who we never really know anything about 13:14 him right yeah he's just sort of they're 13:17 grooming kylo for what we don't know 13:21 yeah it's interesting I feel like kylo 13:22 Ren is such a waste of character 13:23 absolutely I thought it was a stroke of 13:25 genius to make the villain of this new 13:28 trilogy kind of this sort of whiny 13:30 pardon me this my Andy put upon white 13:32 boy like I really thought that was a 13:34 stroke of genius to do that you know 13:36 somebody who's convinced that he's got 13:38 to be special but maybe isn't yeah but 13:42 maybe is but maybe isn't you know like I 13:43 thought that was a stroke of genius to 13:45 make him the villain but they just 13:47 haven't really done anything with him 13:49 and something like that would really be 13:50 good yeah and you remember from returned 13:54 the Jedi when Vader through Power Team 13:57 two the two that like down down the down 14:00 the hall to kill him there's a big 14:01 energy blast yeah and so I wonder if 14:04 they may reckoned of to say that was his 14:06 consciousness or spirit like leaving his 14:08 body to go to another clone yeah okay 14:11 that's a great theory but I'm gonna say 14:14 this probably more than once in this 14:15 podcast I'm sure that's a better idea 14:17 than what they've actually got like it 14:20 always seriously the amount of like 14:23 amazing fan theories about the star war 14:25 the most recent Star Wars movies 14:27 compared to what we actually get we're 14:29 putting way more effort into this than 14:31 the screenwriters did I promise you that 14:32 is a good point - okay this leads to my 14:39 second EU story that I think could be 14:42 adapted in some way into the story and 14:44 that is the jedi academy trilogy by 14:46 kevin anderson yes okay that one i know 14:49 yes and that would be dope again it'd be 14:53 nice but here i out it okay okay i think 14:56 i think this could happen okay so for 14:58 those who don't know jedi academy i 15:00 believe it takes place I want to say 15:02 seven or eight years after they were 15:04 pretty quick yeah I want to say seven 15:06 years Luke looks for new students to 15:10 rebuild the Jedi Academy on yabin for 15:13 where they first had their first fight 15:14 against the Death Star he finds a 15:16 student called Kip Durant or Han Solo 15:19 brings Kip drawn to him and he has 15:22 incredible force sensitivity he doesn't 15:24 come from force-sensitive parents but 15:26 his potential appears to be on the level 15:29 of the greatest of Jedi Masters just 15:31 like right sorry 15:34 most of kylo Ren again sorry ray yep Kip 15:37 gets corrupted by the spirit of one of 15:39 the greatest Sith Lords in history named 15:42 Exar Kun who created the infamous 15:44 double-edged lightsaber okay which I 15:49 predicted am I in the show last year 15:52 that Ray was gonna wield in this movie 15:54 and you know actually you might be on to 15:59 something here boy good man again 16:01 again though I think you're putting a 16:03 lot more work into this than the I mean 16:05 we should have written the movie but 16:06 keep going anyway Exar Kun wanted to 16:10 change luke's pupils into his own force 16:12 wielding army in the new trailer 16:15 Palpatine's quote they're coming 16:18 together will be their undoing 16:20 and so maybe he wants the knights of ren 16:25 to join whoever ray gathers to become 16:29 his own personal force army and reclaim 16:31 the galaxy in that way maybe he's not 16:34 bending the rule of two and he wants his 16:36 own kind of army now true but it seems 16:40 like he was going to abandon the rule of 16:41 two no matter what well he was you know 16:43 he was training different people he was 16:45 training Margie Luke's wife even Vader 16:49 was training folks too yeah exactly 16:51 the story of a sith seducing when a 16:54 luke's most prized students has already 16:56 played out between Episode six and seven 16:58 with kylo and Snoke so I don't think 17:01 they're gonna really lean into that kind 17:02 of seduction but trying to get him to 17:05 work under getting kylo to work under 17:08 him bring ray to me they all just kind 17:11 of mmm take it over 17:13 yeah yeah it's a good idea but okay it 17:19 would work but they would need excellent 17:21 writers to pull it off and to pull it 17:23 out of where the last film ended right 17:25 they haven't set up any of that really 17:28 yeah I mean they set up anything yeah 17:31 exactly so it could go anywhere and I 17:33 hope it goes in a good direction I I 17:35 don't have I don't have a lot of faith 17:37 the force is not strong within me but 17:39 yeah yeah I mean I'm gonna go see it 17:42 yeah yeah I just don't have and you know 17:45 part of it is that you know Star Wars is 17:47 ultimately I guess 17:48 this point meant to be a kid's film 17:50 which is fine but that doesn't mean it 17:52 has to be a bad film and I think people 17:54 forget that yeah people kind of just 17:56 dismiss it it's just a movie about 17:58 wizards and laser swords would expect 18:01 like you know it I mean I got in Peyer 18:04 Strikes Back so yeah I expect greatness 18:07 exactly so I just want to just really 18:10 quick I mentioned the the world 18:12 devastators in the previous story and of 18:15 course we have to kind of up the ante 18:17 for these for these movies not just a 18:19 sit threat but an external like 18:21 weaponized threat and so and Jedi 18:24 Academy the weapon was the Sun crusher 18:26 which used special missiles that went 18:29 into the heart or the core of stars and 18:31 make them explode destroying whole solar 18:33 systems I mean it was it was a brutal 18:35 weapon and it was indestructible it was 18:37 like a tie it was like as small as an 18:39 x-wing yeah I remember indestructible 18:41 yeah how did they actually defeat that 18:43 though I forgot that part 18:44 I think they blew it up from the inside 18:47 like oh yeah keep drawing became a good 18:50 guy again and yeah I mean he liked yeah 18:52 he basically rogue one did yeah what was 18:54 cool was they actually for storage they 18:57 just forced push it into the heart of a 18:59 star and then they then when he became 19:01 dark he pulled it out with the help of 19:02 yeah yeah yeah I mean it's all a 19:08 possibility however let's be real 19:11 given the trailer that we saw mm-hmm 19:14 these are great ideas but I don't think 19:16 that's where it's going I think we're 19:18 setting ourselves up to a disappointment 19:20 I think what we should be expecting is a 19:21 lot of norm a serviceable story because 19:24 this is really the end of an era it's 19:26 the end of a George Lucas always said in 19:29 the beginning you wanted to do nine 19:30 movies this is the ninth movie and we 19:32 made it 19:33 so there it's gonna be decent I think 19:35 but we're gonna get a lot of norm a lot 19:37 of c-3po I'm looking at all of my 19:40 friends a lot of that oh that was oh 19:42 okay mmm-hmm yeah I know that hit some 19:47 people but it I was kind of yeah I just 19:50 feel like they're just it feels cynical 19:53 at this point it does they're just kind 19:55 of doing what's gonna get kids to bite 19:57 blood sincere yeah okay butts in seats 19:59 and get kids to buy Happy Meal toys 20:00 really yeah 20:02 it's it's just blatant motion like the 20:04 stakes aren't high enough or as well or 20:06 well-developed enough for it to really 20:08 be impactful not anymore not anymore 20:11 yeah I mean okay in is it the impact yes 20:15 and the Empire Strikes Back that bit 20:16 where c-3po like walks into somewhere in 20:18 Cloud City and gets his arms pulled off 20:20 and he's just like a body stopped his 20:22 Chuy's back that was devastating to me 20:24 yeah because I was a little kid at the 20:25 time but even now as an adult I'm like 20:27 oh god they took his arms and his legs 20:28 I'm just upset because the stakes are 20:30 high you care about these characters 20:32 even though they are ridiculous 20:35 a giant bookie what is a Wookiee and a 20:39 robot with a British accent and universe 20:42 where there's no British people anymore 20:44 yeah yeah well yeah but where's Britain 20:48 at this point in time really I mean why 20:50 do why do some people have British 20:51 accents - people why do they speak 20:53 English period why does nobody have a 20:55 Nigerian accent why don't black women 20:57 exist in space yet oh oh we're getting 21:00 there okay yes good let's get there okay 21:01 let's get there so let's talk about my 21:03 man Finn with his like twist he's in his 21:05 hair now oh yeah so are they gonna give 21:07 him an actual story or is he just gonna 21:09 be chasing around a woman again well the 21:11 previous trailer had a black woman in 21:13 the trailer and so I'm so I'm wondering 21:15 now like he's hit you haven't seen black 21:17 hair stylized and this in this universe 21:20 until a black woman showed up because 21:22 Lando was all you know land OE and fin 21:25 whale and goes back and that's exciting 21:27 maybe I hope so I mean I want to be 21:29 excited but again I'm sure it's gonna be 21:31 some ridiculous everything just feel 21:33 cynical it does yeah let's just get more 21:35 of these old folks in the seats 21:37 oh they remember that and they're to be 21:41 sad 21:43 right and their kids will be sad because 21:45 the robot dies whatever yeah I want talk 21:49 about some of the imagery in the trailer 21:51 with Ray and kylo I feel like when they 21:54 were fighting a lot of those scenes were 21:56 dreams or dreamlike constructs of them 21:59 either dreaming alone or being connected 22:01 like they were in last should I doing 22:03 the the force led the force powered 22:05 Skype calls yes for Skype yeah that was 22:09 such a weird construct I don't think 22:10 that was as appealing as the director 22:12 intended it to be because we like the 22:14 first time it happens there's that whole 22:16 bit where you know like kylo Ren there's 22:18 there I think he's trying to set up some 22:21 sort of like romantic sexual tension 22:23 between the two of them but the fact 22:24 that dude is built like a refrigerator 22:25 with a q-tip head did not make that as 22:27 appealing as I think they wanted it to 22:29 be the whole time I'm just like what is 22:32 direct your choice choice just him wear 22:37 his clothes and say something 22:38 interesting 22:39 why is he so oily it'd be like cuz cocoa 22:42 butter exists in space 22:43 maybe like you're like like a sex chat 22:47 and he has a great voice right hello how 22:49 you doing and you're like you know what 22:51 I want to meet this guy in person hey 22:53 what when you get off work I get off in 22:56 an hour come by and you show up and 23:00 you're like oh wow that yeah does not 23:03 match Brenton is your grandma still 23:05 asleep with this podcast no yeah not 23:08 this one well I've seen you bad words 23:11 this is true right yeah cool but yeah I 23:14 just in the trailer I felt like they 23:17 were going through like a greatest hits 23:18 of places from the original trilogy the 23:23 emperor's throne room was clear to see 23:24 they were kind of just standing in there 23:26 and is a possible fat to happen because 23:30 the Death Star exploded right so like 23:32 how could it just randomly fall to 23:33 endure intact right is there anything 23:36 else you want to say before we move on 23:37 not really I mean I have very low 23:39 expectations I'm hoping that I will go 23:41 into this movie and then when we blurred 23:43 up this this retrospectively I'll be 23:45 talking about how awesome it was but I 23:47 don't think that's gonna happen and it 23:49 makes me sad because I still love Star 23:51 Wars 23:52 yeah I'm still gonna love Star Wars I'm 23:54 just not going to ever purchase the 23:56 particular films I'm just excited for 23:58 you to actually finally watch those 23:59 shows and just fall in love with new 24:03 stories and new characters as much part 24:04 of but not rebels the other Clone Wars 24:09 but I have never had time to sit and 24:11 watch the whole thing highly recommend 24:13 it just the way that Anakin and obi-wan 24:14 their banter like they're actually like 24:17 yeah there's yes I mean though basically 24:19 it's what the second trilogy should have 24:22 been yes and I think so from what I saw 24:24 like it's definitely I think we have 24:27 that second trilogy to thank for these 24:29 shows which I which is why I'm not like 24:31 earned the witch but for these final 24:33 three I'm just like there is no what's 24:36 then what's this new one called there is 24:38 no rise of Skywalker only Zuul I can't 24:40 do it so like we're just not doing it 24:42 it's just you know the other showed his 24:46 had kind of uh overseer kind of sort of 24:50 like I want how I want this to be done 24:52 whereas we've had two different 24:53 directors right you know right Joss was 24:56 kind of like fuck this I'm just gonna do 24:58 my own thing so yeah as you said like 25:00 they didn't set up anything so I just I 25:02 just have no expectations for this me 25:03 neither and I also think that the fact 25:05 that they are going it's going to make a 25:08 moons worth of money no matter what so I 25:11 think that also impedes the quality 25:13 control of it so if you look at the 25:14 first trilogy George Luke and like the 25:16 way that those were made if you watch 25:17 any of those documentaries or reading a 25:19 read any of those books yeah 25:21 George Lucas had a lot of really stupid 25:24 ideas but the fact that he had people 25:26 from the studio around him like maybe 25:27 you don't want to do that rethink this 25:29 rewrite it make it better for the story 25:32 he had that and that was why those 25:34 movies were so good 25:36 the fact that the first two movies made 25:38 so much money is why the third one is 25:41 kind of like he works for real but 25:45 that's because at that point they were 25:46 making money so the reins were loosened 25:48 a little bit but there were still there 25:50 was still that nervousness like is this 25:52 gonna work is this not gonna work let's 25:53 have ten people let's let's draft this a 25:56 lot and really work out the kinks but 25:57 that doesn't exist anymore for this 25:59 franchise so cuz it just prints money 26:01 exactly no matter what I mean it like I 26:03 said I'm gonna see it I'm 99% sure it'll 26:06 be terrible and I'll be disappointed but 26:07 I'm still gonna spend my money on it so 26:09 I'm part of the 26:09 problem really it's so sad that were at 26:11 this point for Star Wars it is but yeah 26:14 I I quickly agree then he got totally 26:16 free reign for the the trilogy and then 26:18 out came the medic lorian's but it's 26:21 interesting Empire wasn't even directed 26:23 by him right 26:23 so well write your best movies not even 26:25 directed by by the Creator really even 26:28 written by him because the drafting 26:30 right yeah true well okay let us know 26:34 what you think of the new Star Wars 26:36 trailer do you think my predictions or 26:38 my theories are crazy they probably are 26:40 but who knows let us know yeah somewhere 26:44 at Rian Johnson's listening to this like 26:46 crap can be recut it we can we cut it 26:47 have you seen the the recut of last Jedi 26:50 no I haven't there's a there's a reek 26:52 there's a reddit it's called the Fallen 26:55 Knight and they cut out that Casino 26:58 canto byte stuff ah that's a good move 27:00 and they cut out some other stuff and of 27:04 course because it's not the original 27:07 there is no movie there are some things 27:09 that kind of go make sense if 27:11 something's aren't there mm-hmm 27:12 but it actually makes it for a better 27:15 experience for me I actually rewatched 27:17 it maybe a year after the last Jedi came 27:22 out and actually enjoyed the movie a 27:24 little better so interesting I'll have 27:26 to look that up I didn't know it existed 27:27 but if it takes off the casino scenes 27:29 then hey I'm there oh that was just lets 27:32 take yeah the only people of color and 27:34 set them on a random stupid mission to 27:38 save space horses so that our nice white 27:40 space liberals can do all the real 27:41 fighting boo let's make the black 27:45 character a coward again and an idiot an 27:48 idiot in a coward again so always a 27:52 woman tasting some woman constantly well 27:54 no no it wasn't it wasn't no the woman 27:55 was chasing him remember a was kind of 27:57 like oh you're from the resistance 27:58 that's so cool oh yeah yeah it's me oh 28:00 wait I'm a coward no you're you're Finn 28:03 I'm this Asian lady who's like pawnee 28:06 after you yeah it's me oh wait you're a 28:08 coward it's like oh my god like and 28:10 again just the existence just the 28:12 presence of these actors in this 28:13 franchise just a waste just such a way 28:16 such a waste it's so just so sad because 28:19 they should have been awesome and I 28:20 would be mad if I was them because this 28:21 is an amazing opportunity and it was 28:23 used on BS you know Oh girl like quitter 28:26 social media over this yes exactly and 28:29 it said that we feel like this because 28:30 honestly the backlash is received for 28:32 completely unrelated reasons because 28:34 they have a black lead an Asian lead 28:37 because they have women doing stuff that 28:39 are that doesn't involve kitchens we're 28:40 wearing a gold bikini is just ridiculous 28:43 I mean they've gotten so much backlash 28:45 for stupid reasons that it's sad that it 28:47 also gets backlash for negative reasons 28:49 - I'm a big fan of the idea that we are 28:52 entitled to mediocrity as well as 28:54 excellence however I feel like if it's 28:56 Star Wars and you're doing these new 28:58 things to make it more legit for all of 29:01 the fans who didn't feel represented in 29:03 the first trilogy or in the second 29:06 trilogy even you've got to make it 29:08 excellent you can't hand her to us and 29:10 that makes me upset yeah 29:12 as they pander and didn't tell us a good 29:13 story with all of these innovative 29:15 things that they did I don't think I'll 29:17 ever forgive them for making me believe 29:18 that finn was gonna be a Jedi I don't 29:20 think I can ever let that go never I was 29:24 pissed I'm sure I was just annoyed with 29:28 how nothing his character is there's 29:30 really nothing to him he comes from 29:31 nowhere he's going nowhere he's just 29:33 kind of he's comic relief without being 29:36 funny yeah okay 29:38 reckoning win at least Han Solo was like 29:40 a general by like Empire Strikes Back 29:42 right exactly 29:43 it's like what is Finn just a dude 29:45 exactly where's rey right like what is 29:48 poe whoever whoever to be fair though 29:50 this is part of why I liked rogue one so 29:53 much because I think that it did it 29:55 right yes it pulled a very diverse cast 29:57 and a very diverse story and told us a 30:00 story that we kind of already knew but 30:02 it was the it's the only Star Wars film 30:04 so far in my opinion that's done 30:06 diversity right yeah anyway okay okay 30:11 let's flip the track let's go on to 30:14 Watchmen which I think will have a 30:16 complete opposite thing to second oh yes 30:20 I'm from Star Wars okay y'all will be 30:24 very brief this first episode was 30:27 awesome amazing I was expecting it to be 30:31 lame I'm I don't feel about Watchmen the 30:34 same way I feel about Star Wars but I 30:36 loved that 30:37 and I was annoyed with the film because 30:40 they tried to do a frame-by-frame 30:41 recreation then they totally changed the 30:43 ending and it just wasn't really well 30:46 done in a lot of ways so I wasn't 30:48 expecting a lot but this this hour of TV 30:51 really blew my hair back I watched the 30:54 movie before I read the book so I 30:55 actually kind of liked the movie more 30:57 than the book but watching again I 31:00 realized that yeah it's kind of slow and 31:02 I'm bored 31:02 but when I saw the trailer for this I 31:05 was like this looks different I wasn't I 31:08 didn't expect anything to be bad but I 31:10 was very curious and this did not 31:13 disappoint it exceeded all expectations 31:15 they really did from the first 30 31:18 seconds you are sucked in to this and 31:21 this is exactly what the comic but the 31:23 book did the graphic novel did it sucks 31:24 you into this bizarro America it makes 31:27 it seem completely real and even though 31:30 things are not what you're expecting it 31:32 they're all they all seem legit you're 31:33 really immersed in this world yes and 31:35 that's what this TV show does from the 31:37 first 30 seconds you are just in it like 31:39 you are living in this place with these 31:41 people for the hour okay I'm okay 31:43 general journal stuffs out all right 31:45 okay go watch this if you haven't seen 31:48 it if you don't care hang around we're 31:51 gonna yeah dig into it but definitely 31:53 watch it I it's been a minute since I 31:55 saw a TV show her I'm like I am so 31:57 excited for the next episode but yeah 31:59 I'm so excited for the next episode yeah 32:01 I almost want to just wait binge but I 32:03 don't want that to get spoiled for me so 32:04 I will be there every every every 32:07 premiere okay boys here we go three two 32:13 one okay the opening ten minutes yes 32:19 have you ever listened to Lupe Fiasco's 32:21 mural yeah I'm your old jr. you know for 32:25 those who don't know Lupe Fiasco he 32:27 starts rapping just kinda just kind of 32:29 freestyle about just something happening 32:31 and with with such amazing imagery and 32:35 true to the title it widens out into 32:38 this beautiful picture and that's how I 32:41 felt about this opening it wasn't all 32:44 that beautiful but yes it was definitely 32:47 compelling yes I mean my eyes were wide 32:50 for like ten minutes 32:51 would not take my eyes away right and I 32:53 think maybe you and I maybe feel 32:55 similarly about this but it's kind of 32:57 the whole black oppression narratives 33:00 black struggle narratives black pain 33:02 narratives are difficult to watch at 33:05 this point in time you had so many of 33:07 them and there's not a lot of redemption 33:08 arcs with them so it can be a little 33:11 tiresome to just sort of watch pain and 33:14 murder and death and oppression over and 33:16 over and over again yeah 33:17 but the way that they so the 1921 Tulsa 33:20 bombings yeah Tulsa bombings awesome 33:23 Massacre story I don't know it was 33:26 included it was a lot of it's caused a 33:28 lot of massacres but it was it was a 33:31 real thing that happened I've never seen 33:33 it depicted on film or in any art before 33:36 and the fact that they just went with it 33:40 so boldly and so naked Lee and so 33:43 unflinchingly was incredible for me like 33:47 it was just compelling to watch because 33:49 it wasn't done with an eye to 33:52 exploitation it wasn't done with like 33:56 that over a moat like nobody like ran 33:58 out in the middle and started singing a 33:59 spiritual my brother nobody did that it 34:02 was just showing that these people were 34:04 just minding their business and 34:06 terrorists came yeah and that's the way 34:09 that it was a portrayed was just amazing 34:11 is just before we got there the black 34:14 and white film about bass bass Reeves 34:18 bass Reeves bass Reeves for those who 34:20 don't know and apparently there's a 34:22 funny article from Atlanta black star 34:24 about there's so many white folks 34:26 googling bass Reeves and it sold in 34:28 Tulsa 1921 because they didn't had they 34:30 didn't know about it yeah a lot of 34:31 people watch that and think it there's 34:33 no way it could be real but this is a 34:34 real part of our history and you should 34:36 know that bass views is a real life 34:38 figure he was the first black deputy 34:40 u.s. marshal west of the Mississippi he 34:43 is credited with 3,000 arrests and 34:45 killed 14 people in self-defense 34:48 apparently after his slave master took 34:51 him with him to the into the Confederate 34:54 Army bass beat his ass and became a 34:56 fugitive slave among Native Americans 34:59 like dude is a badass 35:01 I'm looking forward to hearing him in 35:03 rap lyrics next year right but yeah you 35:07 know you watching this violent film and 35:09 you don't even know that this black 35:10 hooded figure was black he stops in 35:13 front of an all-white church and the 35:15 congregation comes out and he reveals 35:16 who he is and you're thinking oh fuck 35:17 he's he's dead uh-huh but this little 35:21 boy is excited for this black dude with 35:22 this amazing 35:24 Yosemite Sam mustache and everyone 35:26 cheers then you cut to this empty 35:28 theater and it's like this black boys 35:30 sitting there memorizing the lines 35:31 you're like wow what is this yeah it's 35:34 the first black superhero movie that was 35:35 that was 1921 Black Panther yes yeah and 35:38 then you have this black woman playing 35:40 piano and then you see that she's crying 35:42 why is she crying and then you hear the 35:44 booms from outside and it is the show 35:46 just keeps pulling back and then the 35:49 figure enters with the gun you're like 35:50 oh she was gonna happen 35:52 then he gives it to his I guess assumed 35:53 wife and she's like let's do this and 35:56 then they take the boy out and to this 35:57 madness and that's and that's where you 35:59 were yes and the whole time you're 36:01 watching it because you know this is 36:02 Watchmen and even though this is a real 36:04 piece of history it's part of this 36:06 alternate America like kind of this this 36:09 the speculative speculative fiction 36:10 piece the whole time I'm waiting I'm 36:13 like where's our black superhero is bass 36:15 Reeves coming like what's happening here 36:17 and he never comes yeah yeah it's it's 36:22 really something it like I said I'm 36:25 tired of seeing black pain and black 36:26 oppression being exploited on film but I 36:29 didn't feel like this was exploitive I 36:31 felt like this was a finger pointed yeah 36:33 and I dug it seen the parents lied to 36:38 their kid heartbreaking and then they he 36:40 sees them presumably get blown up mm-hmm 36:43 how that baby survived after whatever 36:45 happened to it like kind of getting out 36:47 that mm-hmm 36:48 how did he survive I mean you know I 36:49 don't know like that was kind of good 36:50 but whatever my other question is who is 36:54 that baby now I'm pretty sure I know who 36:56 that little boy is but who is that baby 36:57 now yeah mmm the boy yes I'm pretty sure 37:02 I know who that little boy is I'm with 37:03 I'm with you in there yeah so yeah then 37:07 the transition from the boy walking down 37:10 the street to a car going down the 37:12 street mm-hmm today's time listen 37:14 trap and you're like yeah well it's 37:16 obviously a black person now yeah but 37:18 it's like no it's a white dude you stop 37:20 by a black cop just the stuff that they 37:23 do with this 37:24 ah and it's funny because it's such a 37:26 good sorry Marge - the way that the that 37:30 the comic book worked where you'd have 37:31 somebody saying something in one frame 37:34 but the frame would be like you'd see a 37:36 picture that was the end of one thread 37:39 of the story yeah but the text would be 37:41 part of the next part that you're 37:43 transitioning - yeah and that's exactly 37:45 what they did all through this pot this 37:46 pilot it's not a pilot I guess first 37:48 episode all through this first episode 37:50 and it was really well done the 37:52 transitions were so seamless like you 37:54 really are just in the world you're just 37:55 constantly watching to see what's coming 37:57 next like the one where it was it was 37:59 like nighttime with like stars and then 38:01 it changed into like asphalt my first 38:04 seamless yeah just sort of slow his hand 38:06 and revolved in the gorgeous 38:08 cinematography yes yeah so yeah the cop 38:14 he retreats to his car and where we get 38:16 our first bit of world-building there 38:18 the cosmos asks to get permission to use 38:20 their guns yep and they're all wearing 38:21 masks so the guy asked if he could see 38:23 the cops face and it's like all this 38:25 aggro yeah he's like oh I'm sorry I'm 38:27 sorry I'm sorry yeah yeah you know what 38:31 a difference that could be in real life 38:33 to be able to like cops have to ask to 38:35 get their guns removed and I think this 38:38 was done with such a keen eye on current 38:41 events and what America's really like 38:42 especially since they're doing an 38:44 alternate America do you know so one of 38:46 my many side hustles is I write science 38:48 fiction and I always see I used to go to 38:50 this writing group and get him to these 38:51 beefs with this guy all the time at the 38:53 group because he would say I think it's 38:55 really cynical that you think that 38:57 racism would still exist in the future 38:59 or that you think that racism would 39:01 still exist in an alternative in an 39:02 alternate history but people are still 39:05 people right and America is still 39:07 founded on certain principles so even if 39:10 the timeline diverges in 1970 their 1950 39:13 or whenever the official timeline 39:14 divergences and Watchmen those racist 39:17 principles that the society is founded 39:19 on are still existing course so I think 39:21 they did a really good job of taking 39:23 that to a logical conclusion without 39:26 overdoing it 39:28 or making it seem unrealistic because 39:30 this is alternate America but it feels 39:32 like one you could be living in 39:34 absolutely yeah mm-hmm a tangible 39:37 reality very yeah yeah it was really 39:41 something yeah yeah yeah Rorschach guys 39:43 are now white supremacists now that is 39:46 gonna pinch some folks who are fans of 39:47 the book where it hurts they really are 39:49 because here's the thing I don't 39:50 necessarily think they're calling 39:51 Rorschach a racist because the Rorschach 39:53 of the comic some of the film as well 39:56 was just had that sort of peculiar sort 40:00 of cultural self-absorption that some 40:01 people have or he's got these manifestos 40:03 and his he didn't like anybody and it 40:06 manifested in a certain way but those 40:08 kinds of manifestos are very easy to 40:10 pick up on by certain elements of 40:12 society and they do a really good that's 40:14 exactly where this whole Rorschach thing 40:16 would have gone it's exactly where a lot 40:18 of stuff is gone in reality psych psych 40:19 Joker yeah don't care about anybody 40:21 isn't like he's like mm-hmm 40:23 targets women or black folks yeah but I 40:27 mean even in if you look there's so many 40:29 things in history that didn't have 40:31 anything to do with white supremacy but 40:32 were adopted by those elements hmm 40:34 and it still happens now I like what is 40:37 that the whole Pepe frog thing I don't 40:39 really know a whole lot about white 40:40 supremacists I curate my my internet 40:42 experience well so I don't have to deal 40:44 with idiots sure but that whole Pepe 40:46 frog apparently that was created by a 40:47 children's author and now it's like some 40:49 white supremacist symbol you know that 40:50 kind of thing right I don't think 40:52 they're calling Rorschach a racist but I 40:56 think that people are going to feel 40:57 pinched because a lot of people looked 40:58 at the character of Rorschach and it 41:00 justified those feelings within them 41:02 yeah yeah this was so good guys I 41:06 seriously go watch it go watch it we 41:08 don't have a lot of time to talk about 41:09 it but it's so so good 41:11 basically that's more time mm-hmm I want 41:13 to go deeper you know as we are this is 41:16 so blackity black I really enjoy the 41:19 different shades of blackness here 41:20 mm-hmm 41:21 so we so we were talking about earlier 41:22 the the Oklahoma scene where you have 41:24 black people singing in musicals which 41:26 some of that be growing up it wasn't I 41:28 can't remember a single black person at 41:31 my st. Louis Muni and Forest Park I 41:34 can't member a single black person 41:36 singing and the musicals there I saw pan 41:39 I saw I think it's Oklahoma 41:42 Wow you know was it meet me in st. Louis 41:44 and you can name probably all the class 41:46 because I probably went there every 41:48 summer all the summers to see some I 41:50 don't know I don't remember black faces 41:51 right well you know there's always been 41:53 like black musicals and white music 41:55 clanking you saw obviously yeah yeah but 41:57 I mean prior to I mean I guess prior to 41:59 maybe like 1985 or something they were 42:02 definitely black musicals and white 42:03 musicals The Wiz and pearly sure dream 42:05 girls were black musicals and you know 42:06 Oklahoma and lacasa Falls and all of the 42:10 birdcage and all of those were white 42:11 musicals and I think there was that 42:13 distinction for a long time it's kind of 42:14 a newer convention to have colorblind 42:18 casting it's still not that new but it's 42:20 newer I guess I was telling you before 42:23 we started recording about the time I 42:25 saw Oklahoma in Birmingham and not 42:27 Birmingham Alabama Birmingham UK and 42:30 there was a cast of British people who 42:33 could not do American accents to save 42:34 their lives and there was one black 42:37 woman in the cast and she was just one 42:39 of the background players who didn't 42:40 have a major role but she spent the 42:42 whole production looking like she really 42:44 didn't want to be there she was just 42:46 like my parents from Jamaica and this is 42:49 what I'm doing for a living 42:50 what's going I mean she just looked so 42:51 unhappy of being in the cast and there 42:54 wasn't anything weird about it 42:55 necessarily she just was so out of place 42:57 because Oklahoma is it is a severely 43:00 white show and that's not a negative it 43:02 just is and just having when like the 43:06 new Broadway revival the new Broadway 43:08 revival of it is actually they've made 43:11 one of the family of the main families 43:13 involved in the confidential 43:15 confidential conflict is black so now 43:22 there is a kind of a racial element to 43:25 the show that wasn't there before some 43:26 of their singing people will say we're 43:28 in love it's got a different sort of 43:30 flavor to it that kind of thing the 43:32 woman's family is black but yeah 43:36 hopefully they don't think that but 43:41 either way just Oakland to seeing one 43:45 black person one lonely black person 43:47 kind of kicking up her heels and 43:48 knee-high and or what a beautiful 43:50 morning in Oklahoma was a severely 43:52 strange experience in a lot of ways yes 43:55 it's a great show I love the show and 43:56 when I say that things are severely 43:58 white it's not a dig at whiteness it 43:59 just is there's nothing wrong but it was 44:03 but it's it was interesting to have an 44:05 all-black Oklahoma 44:06 or mostly black Oklahoma yeah as one of 44:10 the centerpieces of this show and for 44:12 them to make because this takes place 44:13 that's another thing so oh so these 44:16 shows always take place in New York or 44:18 LA or you know different like major 44:23 cities you know you'll see something in 44:24 Hong Kong or Seoul or Tokyo or something 44:27 like that big city and this takes place 44:29 in Tulsa right which is kind of cool 44:32 actually well at least the first episode 44:34 does it true it might change from here 44:36 before we head out because we were 44:38 actually really true on time yeah we are 44:39 guess about how badass Regina King was 44:41 yes I want to see Regina King and 44:45 Michonne team-up okay in crossover 44:48 interesting 44:49 I like how well one of the striking 44:51 Vipers Black Manta yeah here Abdul 44:53 Mateen the second or whatever his name 44:55 actually is he I love how he's in there 44:59 and he's not I like how you're starting 45:01 to see black men play against type yes 45:03 he's just completely normal he's just 45:05 like exactly he's he's a stay-at-home 45:07 dad or something yeah that so I like 45:09 that so he's playing against type he's a 45:11 good presence in there I really hope 45:13 they explain why all their kids are 45:14 white in future episodes I mean all 45:16 their kids are white and then they have 45:17 blanket Jackson I don't understand it's 45:20 confusing I wonder I wonder if her cover 45:23 is taking care of these kids it's like 45:25 maybe that the chief doesn't want to 45:27 make that public or something I don't 45:29 know I could be wrong I don't know I 45:30 mean yeah just part of the mystery yeah 45:32 if you go on the website for this show 45:34 there's a whole manifesto that they have 45:36 like a whole FBI file thing that that 45:38 like that's been made up for this that 45:39 kind of explains all of the steps away 45:41 from reality sure this this universe is 45:44 taken which is really interesting so you 45:46 notice they they refer to President 45:48 Redford a lot yes that is Robert Redford 45:50 and apparently he plays himself in this 45:53 show which is going to be dope so yeah 45:56 so he but he's been president for like 45:57 thirty years in this universe Reagan 45:59 never became President Nixon abolish his 46:01 term limits and Robert Redford's been 46:02 president for generations Wow so there's 46:07 I'm wondering 46:08 if it had but I'm wondering if the fact 46:10 that none of their children are black 46:11 has something to do with something in 46:12 society none is related to a step away 46:15 from I mean there's nothing saying black 46:17 people can't adopt white kids it's just 46:19 a strange visual choice without any 46:21 explanation first yeah and like I said 46:23 they're all black and then they have 46:24 that one kid who she went to school that 46:26 who was apparently blank at Jackson I 46:28 don't know was it was she no playing at 46:31 Jackson's too old but he looks a lot 46:32 like blanket I woke up at like 4 o'clock 46:36 oh my god I'm sorry 46:37 yeah J King uh I just she was amazed 46:40 such a she's so awesome and she really 46:43 plays the role to the hilt 46:44 it smells like bleach yeah I mean 46:49 there's a bit towards the end where she 46:50 has to go leave the house real quick and 46:53 she without missing a beat lays back on 46:56 the bed and you think she's gonna have 46:57 like a emotional woman moment and I'm 46:59 unless they can oh don't take it there 47:01 and she does leans back and it flips see 47:03 exactly she flips the headboard of the 47:04 bed there's a gun hidden up under there 47:06 she jumps back up she's given them her 47:08 her husband instructions and she's out 47:10 on the road that's how she gave him the 47:12 small gun he's like I'm taking all right 47:14 right yeah it was she just really played 47:17 this world or the hilt that she really 47:18 well-written incredible her look is 47:21 iconic yes yes is gonna be a whole lot 47:24 of her out on out on the roads for 47:26 Halloween I hope I hope cosplay 47:28 opportunities get her and you got the 47:31 door time unity now Connick well female 47:36 costumes totally yeah yeah and I'm so 47:40 glad that the I'm just glad it's lived 47:42 up to the hype I love how she she's like 47:44 even though there's a chief she's like 47:46 talking shit to this dude and then when 47:48 she you know took out that that white 47:50 supremacist oh you know what I'm sorry 47:51 man we had you all invested yes locked 47:54 him up and you don't know what happened 48:00
