Episode Transcript

[00:00:06] Speaker A: We're back, people. [00:00:07] Speaker B: We're back. Oh, my gosh, Dan, we didn't even talk about AEW last time. [00:00:13] Speaker A: And we talked about a time before. [00:00:15] Speaker B: We did talk about a time before. We talked a little bit about it, but, man, it was amazing. Okay. That was it. [00:00:22] Speaker A: Okay. You were like, right there. [00:00:24] Speaker B: Like, right, Like, I mean, like, people didn't even know. [00:00:26] Speaker A: Yeah, no, no. Okay, okay, okay. First off, shout out to AEW staff for, like, giving us second row tickets. [00:00:36] Speaker B: Yeah, Like, I mean, like, you're so close, you could touch people. [00:00:39] Speaker A: It was like, what? Yeah, I mean, it was more like, hey, you've got these tickets here. We can do better. And I'm like, okay, that was nuts. Shout out to Anne and the Retro Emporium for bringing in the wrestlers to her amazing store and bringing in the staff who were just happened to be standing there. They gave you tickets to the first show? [00:01:03] Speaker B: Yeah, and. [00:01:04] Speaker A: And then we got tickets, and then we got even better tickets because they loved and store. So, yeah, shout out to the Retro Emporium and tickets and everything. That was fantastic. Wow. We had a great time. I mean, the show was all right. [00:01:20] Speaker B: I thought the show was fun. It was great. I like to. To be that close. You get to see a lot of the things you don't want to see in wrestling, but at the same point, it was. The. The overall vibe of the crowd was just amazing. It was. Was a really good, good show to be part of. And I have to say, a shout out to a fellow podcaster out there from Sit Down, Shut up and mark out. I. It was. It was cool to see them across the way. They took a picture of us and then messaged or came into the shop the next day and was like, I saw you guys. So it was funny. [00:02:07] Speaker A: We were indeed there. [00:02:08] Speaker B: Yes, we. We were indeed there. And then they covered the show on their podcast. [00:02:12] Speaker A: So, yeah, there were some fun moments. There was. I, I think, like, you know, I'm getting in my critique brain, as I do, because we're in podcast mode, so I'm in my critique brain. [00:02:21] Speaker B: Right, Right. [00:02:22] Speaker A: I was like, if I was critiquing the show, I wouldn't have done this and I would have moved this, but if you're going to have just a fun experience in the crowd, just go have a great time. [00:02:32] Speaker B: The guys in front of us were a hoot. [00:02:34] Speaker A: They were great. [00:02:34] Speaker B: We're having a good time. We made, I mean, you know, we made some show friends, if you. If you will. [00:02:40] Speaker A: The birthday sign was stupid, but other than that. [00:02:42] Speaker B: Yeah, Other than that. But. [00:02:45] Speaker A: But that wasn't even until the second two hours. And we didn't. We didn't care at that point. [00:02:49] Speaker B: I mean, I. I was having. I was having a great time out. Runners came out. That was. Man, I loved it. I loved it. [00:02:58] Speaker A: Had a great time. It was fun. [00:03:02] Speaker B: It was fun. [00:03:03] Speaker A: So. And we are back. We have to. We have a limited time frame for this episode. [00:03:10] Speaker B: I'm sorry. [00:03:10] Speaker A: But we'll do our best. [00:03:11] Speaker B: We're going to cover Napoleon Dynamite, so. [00:03:14] Speaker A: No, Yeah, I. We are not. [00:03:15] Speaker B: We're. I thought we were going to talk Napoleon Dynamite today. [00:03:19] Speaker A: Now we're talking Mad Rock number five. Five. [00:03:22] Speaker B: Oh, okay. Well, I. I queued up all the best scenes for Napoleon Dynamite to talk about. Okay, I'll put it away. [00:03:32] Speaker A: I have a good idea. You know what? There's another podcast that you could do that on. [00:03:36] Speaker B: Is there? What's that called? It's called the Greg Cast. [00:03:40] Speaker A: The Greg Cast. I feel like Napoleon Dynamite might be good on some podcast about, like, horror movies or something. [00:03:50] Speaker B: I. I don't think Saul and I would be doing a Napoleon Dynamite, but. [00:03:55] Speaker A: Really? [00:03:55] Speaker B: Yeah. No, I mean, it's a scary movie. [00:03:57] Speaker A: Well, we could have a. We could have a group watch of Napoleon Dynamite at the Retro Emporium. [00:04:02] Speaker B: Yeah, we could. It fits. [00:04:05] Speaker A: Yeah, it's. Well, we are off to Mad Rocks. Number five. Number five. And as a reminder, next week, in honor of. And you know what, it's only a one issue, so we may do some more. But in honor of Jim Shooter, we're going to be doing Superboy, starring the Legion of superheroes. Number 221, the first appearance of Grimboar the Changeman. So if you want to read ahead. And we will do some more. Jim Sharpshooter, but we haven't decided what yet. But we are starting out with Grimbor Listener. Jason wants Secret wars or. Or Star Brand. [00:04:47] Speaker B: I mean, both good choices. And we both have these. [00:04:50] Speaker A: But we don't both have these. [00:04:53] Speaker B: I. I have Secret Wars. [00:04:55] Speaker A: You have Secret Wars. [00:04:57] Speaker B: I thought you had Secret wars too. You don't have Secret Man. You did. We went to the same 711 as a kid. [00:05:03] Speaker A: Man, I was buying DC. Yeah. I was buying my one Legion of Superheroes comic. [00:05:10] Speaker B: I know the. [00:05:11] Speaker A: It's. It's what? I don't have that. I have crisis. [00:05:15] Speaker B: You got crisis. I mean, a different side of the spinner. [00:05:18] Speaker A: I have crisis. You have Secret Wars. [00:05:19] Speaker B: Yeah, I know it. It's crazy to think that I got it off the spinner rack at 7:11. [00:05:24] Speaker A: Yeah, it's I didn't even know Secret wars was. When did Secret wars come out? I saw it on. I have didn't. I bought Marvel Contest of Champions in Omaha a couple years ago. [00:05:38] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. That's was pretty cool. [00:05:41] Speaker A: But it was. I don't know. You know, and you can't even look it up now because when you look it up it's like, oh, look at all these other Secret wars thing. Is it a movie? Is it a thing? It was in 1984. Right. It's the same time as Crisis. Right. They came out at the same time. And I wasn't even buying Crisis then. So I was barely into comics. So What? As I 10, I was 9, my. [00:06:06] Speaker B: Dad was probably buying a pack. [00:06:07] Speaker A: I was 9 when this started. [00:06:08] Speaker B: And I was like, I want to go on a book. [00:06:11] Speaker A: You were like seven. Like what? Yeah, I. So I didn't get the Legion booked. So until I was nine. Right. So I would have been getting my first books. So I wouldn't have known this was on the stand. [00:06:28] Speaker B: You just wouldn't have known because I got. Yeah. [00:06:32] Speaker A: So why. Yeah, I mean I wasn't given the exposure. [00:06:36] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:06:37] Speaker A: To comics that I would have been able to grab this off the stand. That doesn't mean. Yeah. Other 10 year olds or 9 year olds weren't grabbing this off the stand. I'm just saying my family and my life. I wasn't given the exposure to this. [00:06:50] Speaker B: True. Yeah. [00:06:52] Speaker A: And so I lived kind of a sheltered life. My friend, my dad just grabbed the. [00:06:57] Speaker B: Book and said, right. [00:06:59] Speaker A: And my parents were like, I got bought a comic book. I. I had comic books when I was a kid. [00:07:06] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. [00:07:07] Speaker A: Like a Hulk. They bought me like a Hulk. Which is really weird when you think about it because the themes in the Hulk were interesting. But yeah, I had the Hulk. I didn't understand them. I think I had them when I was like six or whatever. I understand them. [00:07:25] Speaker B: This Incredible Hulk. Kids love Incredible Hulk. [00:07:29] Speaker A: My mom bought me like a three pack. You know those random three pack books where you got just like random books. And so yeah, I had three of those. And then. But the one that clicked with me was that Legion of Superheroes Starboy flashback. So. And that's what got me. And then I got another one the next summer and then I started buying them off the stand myself. [00:07:54] Speaker B: The beginning. [00:07:55] Speaker A: And I was a year behind. So when I was buying them. So here's why I didn't get Secret wars in Crisis. Because. Let's see, so the 80. The Legion came out in 84 and the. The Baxter paper, and I was buying the reprints off the stand, and I got the last three issues before the reprints started. So that would have been like the end of 84. I. So I was getting Tales of the Legion, and that's when they were running concurrent stories. So I would have missed Secret wars altogether. [00:08:24] Speaker B: Altogether. It wasn't in your. It wasn't in your wheelhouse. Yeah. [00:08:31] Speaker A: And. Yeah, I just. Well, I just. I just wasn't. I wasn't there yet. I wasn't getting the books. So. [00:08:40] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:08:43] Speaker A: And legion of superheroes 306 came out in with a cover date of December of 1983. So that would have come out too early on a camping trip in September, Right? [00:08:54] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:08:54] Speaker A: Yeah. So I would have got that. And then the next summer, I got the annual and then didn't know what was going on because the annual takes place confusion in the first five issues of the Baxter Run. And then. Yeah. So anyway, this. This podcast about Dan's history with Legion superheroes. But, yeah, just going back, it's kind of where, you know, our connection point to comics. So I will say, like, so when I say 80s Marvel is a big blind spot to me, it really is because I was just starting to get into comics, and then I was excited about the Legion. So when I would go to o' Leary's bookstore, I was looking for. I was looking for other Legion stuff. Right. Because I'm like, what is this? This is cool. And then I'm looking, you know, looking for that. And then, you know, I. Then I didn't get into X men until later. McCafferty told me to buy it Right. When it relaunched. [00:09:48] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:09:50] Speaker A: And then we had access to more of the Marvel stuff because of Todd McFarlane's store, because of the Spider's Web. And so. Oh, now there's all this exposure to. [00:09:59] Speaker B: All these other stories. [00:10:00] Speaker A: But I wasn't buying Spider Man. I was buying X Men books, so. [00:10:04] Speaker B: Because that's what. [00:10:05] Speaker A: Buying the stuff that the guy wrote. [00:10:06] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:10:07] Speaker A: I mean, we bought Spawn, but of. [00:10:10] Speaker B: Course, because, you know, just like, hey, check out my new book. [00:10:14] Speaker A: But, you know, everybody's like, oh, this Todd McFarlane guy's amazing. And I'm like, I don't think I looked at anything that he did. Because intel, you know, is, again, it's exposure because we only have limited funds and can buy, like, one or two books a month. [00:10:27] Speaker B: Right. [00:10:28] Speaker A: Well, buy it. You know, and by high school, I was buying more than one or two books a month. [00:10:32] Speaker B: Yeah, no, we're making. [00:10:33] Speaker A: Was. I Buying like five or six. Yeah. [00:10:35] Speaker B: We're making trips. Well, we also had first job money. [00:10:38] Speaker A: I buy back issues. [00:10:39] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. [00:10:40] Speaker A: First job money back issues. [00:10:42] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:10:42] Speaker A: Well, and that's when I would scour. Like when I would go on trips, I was scouring comic shops for Legion back issues and building that. I wasn't looking for anything else. [00:10:51] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:10:52] Speaker A: Which should tell you about my personality, because it's like, completist, you know? Gotta get. Oh, this thing. I love it. Let's get more. [00:10:58] Speaker B: Gotta get it. [00:10:59] Speaker A: Like, gotta get it all. And that's so. Yeah. So, I mean, we could do. We could do some of Jim's Marvel work. We can think about that. Does it have to be Secret Wars? I don't know. I've heard Secret wars isn't really that great. [00:11:14] Speaker B: We don't have to do that. We. I mean, I'm all. I. I'm 100. [00:11:18] Speaker A: Is also 12 issues, which I'm fine. We could do the rest of summer on Secret wars. [00:11:22] Speaker B: I'm. I'm 100 into. [00:11:23] Speaker A: Bring in some guests. [00:11:24] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. [00:11:25] Speaker A: Maybe we bring in a guest like Randy Emberlin, who probably read Secret Wars. [00:11:28] Speaker B: Oh, my gosh. Maybe. [00:11:32] Speaker A: Well, anyway, we'll talk about that. We also don't have to do Secret wars in. In a 12 straight episode too. We could do like four. Take a break and do a couple of other books. Do four more. And a couple of other books. Do four more. [00:11:43] Speaker B: Keep it a secret as to when we're gonna do the next ones. [00:11:47] Speaker A: Yeah. Ah, it's just. It could be double secret. [00:11:50] Speaker B: And then you listeners have to. Have to always listen to find out when we're going to cover the rest. [00:11:57] Speaker A: It could be like double secret probation. [00:11:59] Speaker B: Oh, that was terrible. I don't like that. [00:12:02] Speaker A: Yeah, I hated that when you're on double secret probation. [00:12:05] Speaker B: The worst. [00:12:07] Speaker A: All right, and then I will. We ended up. We were. We've got a couple cases for. We got a couple questions from listener Jason. [00:12:16] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:12:16] Speaker A: Based off the last episode. One was. So did we miss out on Peter David writing she Hulk? A she Hulk issue where he. She helps Jamie divorce the dupe's wife. So since technically that's Jamie's also. So I think this is a fine question with the whole Sheila and the marriage and everything. [00:12:35] Speaker B: Okay. [00:12:36] Speaker A: I think. I think maybe we did miss out. I do think that, you know, if one. We could have had a angry Jamie dupe arguing with Jamie and they're fighting over whether they should be married, and then the wife wants none of what she's seeing. And yeah, I Think we did miss out maybe. [00:12:55] Speaker B: And they want a divorce and they go to she Hulk and, and she's like, oh, gosh. [00:13:01] Speaker A: Yep. And then she goes to the Comic Files to do the research as she did to read the back issues to see. Unfortunately, that'd be. I think this next issue of Mad Rocks that we're about to read. [00:13:15] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:13:16] Speaker A: May cause some problems with that potential future storyline. [00:13:19] Speaker B: You think so? A little bit. [00:13:20] Speaker A: Just. We'll have to find out. We'll have to find out. So let's bounce in here to Marvel Knights. [00:13:28] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:13:30] Speaker A: Bring you Mad Rocks number five, which will eventually bring you the new X Factor series. [00:13:35] Speaker B: Oh, spoiler. [00:13:40] Speaker A: And God. Okay, well, remember how last, last time I said that the, the quality of the advertisements had gone up? [00:13:47] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. [00:13:48] Speaker A: And there are, there were still so many advertisements, but at least the advertisements were for interesting things. [00:13:53] Speaker B: Yeah. Okay, well, what do you got? [00:14:00] Speaker A: It ends here. [00:14:00] Speaker B: Oh, no. What is it? What did they, what did they bring in now? [00:14:07] Speaker A: You're, you're. Well, I know. I just, I can't wait for you to see the disappointment on your face here. [00:14:12] Speaker B: I'm, I, I can't wait to see it. [00:14:16] Speaker A: I'm going to give you a description without telling you what it is. [00:14:18] Speaker B: Okay. [00:14:19] Speaker A: The continuing storyline of the Blank goes massively multiplayer, an intelligent mission system, ongoing input from the Blank brothers slash sisters. I'm already, I, I think realistic and intense. Fighting in Wire fu. [00:14:44] Speaker B: Huh? [00:14:45] Speaker A: And bullet time. [00:14:47] Speaker B: Is it a Matrix? [00:14:48] Speaker A: Possibly one of the most disappointing MMOs of all time. [00:14:53] Speaker B: The Matrix. Oh, yeah. That was, it had the potential. The idea was there. [00:15:04] Speaker A: I mean, just like the idea for three Matrix movies had the potential how to be good. [00:15:11] Speaker B: I have. [00:15:12] Speaker A: And then there was the one movie that was good and the two others that were God awful terrible. [00:15:17] Speaker B: I haven't seen the last one. [00:15:20] Speaker A: Is there a fourth? There's a fourth one, right? [00:15:22] Speaker B: There is. [00:15:24] Speaker A: I've only seen the first three. [00:15:25] Speaker B: I haven't seen the last one. I, I, I know. I should, I should. Oh, gosh. [00:15:32] Speaker A: I mean, torture. No one should commit torture. [00:15:37] Speaker B: Completionist. [00:15:39] Speaker A: Yeah, well, Animatrix was awesome. Well, anyway, yeah, anyway, The Matrix. The Matrix was awesome. Yes. [00:15:46] Speaker B: I watched that in the movie theater like three times. [00:15:50] Speaker A: But then they made more. Then they made more and they made this game. [00:15:54] Speaker B: They made this game. [00:15:57] Speaker A: Well, anyway, we're back to Mutant Town in New York. You know that place where we put mutants? [00:16:02] Speaker B: Yes, Mutant Town. [00:16:04] Speaker A: It's not Genocia, not Genosha, but it's Mutant Town. [00:16:09] Speaker B: Do they have. [00:16:10] Speaker A: We have Rain crying because she murdered A psychic spirit with her claws. Because we can't let those cap wolf people back on the streets. [00:16:20] Speaker B: They swear. Yeah, you gotta. You gotta put them in their own town like they were and just keep them there living. Living the life of. Of. Of wolf people that, you know, they. They're normal during the day and they wolf out during the night. [00:16:37] Speaker A: Cuz they're dangerous. She. She attacked the ghost form and shredded it. The guy died. And then Guido says it's like something out of a comic book. [00:16:46] Speaker B: Fourth wall, I guess, Kind of. [00:16:50] Speaker A: Well, we flipped the page. They're consoling her and we flip the page and we're back in Chicago. And Clay is standing in the fire, about to shoot at Jamie. [00:17:05] Speaker B: Yeah. Gun drawn. Jamie under rebel. [00:17:11] Speaker A: And Jamie saying. He always narrates at the beginning. Okay, now I just want to say I didn't notice this before. [00:17:20] Speaker B: Okay. [00:17:21] Speaker A: Okay, I'm gonna read you this, then I'm gonna get into the next. [00:17:23] Speaker B: Okay. [00:17:26] Speaker A: I figured Clay. Well, why not? That's how it always works in film noir. Although I'm pretty sure I know it already. Clay killed my dude because he's the trigger man for Ed Van, Chicago's most connected MO Sister. And Vance wanted me dead because he found out that I married his fiance Sheila. Straight up jealousy. Oldest story in the books. Okay, so I'm just getting. Yeah, yeah. So I'm gonna tell you something else though, that some. You know how, like when I make jokes and you say they're too soon after something really bad happened? Well, I didn't notice this when I first read this. Maybe the first three times. [00:18:13] Speaker B: Okay. [00:18:13] Speaker A: But the title of this story is Once Burned. [00:18:17] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:18:18] Speaker A: Twice shy. The Great White Club fire happened on February 20, 2023. [00:18:34] Speaker B: 2023. [00:18:37] Speaker A: This book was put out with a cover date of March 2005, which would have put it on the stands in December of 2024. Or 20. Sorry, I said. I said 2025. I meant 2005, which would have put it on the stands in December of 2004. Right. Which is like a year and a half after people were burned to death. [00:19:07] Speaker B: In a club fire. [00:19:08] Speaker A: A club fire. With the band who was famous for their song Once Once Bitten. Quite shy. [00:19:17] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:19:18] Speaker A: And the comic has them all in. [00:19:20] Speaker B: A fire being burned. A bunch of Jamies being burned. Ooh. Oh, Peter. David. Too soon. [00:19:34] Speaker A: This feels really uncomfortable now. [00:19:37] Speaker B: As the kids today would say, there's. That's cringy. [00:19:44] Speaker A: A hundred people died. [00:19:46] Speaker B: Yeah, I know. It's not good. It wasn't the band's fault, though. It was the club's fault. Pyrotechnics. Yes, I know. It was the band's fault. [00:19:59] Speaker A: It was everyone's fault. [00:20:01] Speaker B: It was everybody's fault. It's a bad, bad, bad situation. Yeah. So the next page. [00:20:16] Speaker A: Yeah, it was. It was. Is a bad. It was a bad situation. [00:20:21] Speaker B: So the next page. [00:20:27] Speaker A: Wow. Yeah, I should move on from this. [00:20:30] Speaker B: Wow is you're going to go down the rabbit hole. [00:20:34] Speaker A: I know. I'm. [00:20:38] Speaker B: Well. [00:20:40] Speaker A: I can make it cringier. [00:20:41] Speaker B: No, no, please don't. It's okay. We are good. [00:20:43] Speaker A: Are you sure? [00:20:44] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, no, it's. It's okay. [00:20:49] Speaker A: Okay. Well, anyway, you can put it in the. [00:20:51] Speaker B: In. In the show notes if you want to. [00:20:55] Speaker A: I'll tell you after the show. [00:20:56] Speaker B: Oh, gosh. [00:20:59] Speaker A: Well, anyway, Clay is about to shoot a dupe. Jamie prime knocks Clay out. [00:21:07] Speaker B: Oh. [00:21:11] Speaker A: And he seems to think that he's figuring it out. And then we've got another gun on Jamie and duplicates. [00:21:17] Speaker B: Oh, no. [00:21:19] Speaker A: We get an advertisement for the best Daredevil related product ever made. [00:21:23] Speaker B: Oh, another Electra. [00:21:28] Speaker A: That maybe. It was so terrible. God, they. They really downgrade the ads back to this issue. Yeah, they sure were good last issue. [00:21:40] Speaker B: They were. [00:21:41] Speaker A: I guess issue four was the popular one. [00:21:42] Speaker B: It was the popular one. [00:21:44] Speaker A: Anyway, Jamie's absorbing dupes left and right. And he says I almost go into shock as the wounded dude violently reemerges me with me. Enough. Because the Duke got shot. Enough. I've already sucked enough smoke in to flatten the Denver Broncos. Interesting. Is that because they train, play in high elevation or. [00:22:07] Speaker B: I don't know. [00:22:09] Speaker A: The world spins around me. I can barely trust my own senses because of what I'm seeing in front of me is making no sense at all. We get an advertise. We are going back in time. Weren't they were advertising this before? [00:22:24] Speaker B: What was it? [00:22:25] Speaker A: They're re advertising the Sky Captain and the. [00:22:27] Speaker B: Oh, World of Tomorrow. Interesting flick. [00:22:32] Speaker A: I guess. [00:22:35] Speaker B: Great. Use the green screen. [00:22:37] Speaker A: Oh, God. [00:22:38] Speaker B: What? [00:22:38] Speaker A: Okay, well. Oh, I'm the next advertisement. So what? What did you think? Wait. We have duplicate clays. [00:22:48] Speaker B: Ah, duplicate clay. [00:22:52] Speaker A: Yeah. Do there's two duplicate clay and duplicate Jamie's. [00:22:57] Speaker B: Oh, my God. [00:22:57] Speaker A: The duplicate clays have guns and the duplicate clays have tattoos that duplicate now. [00:23:04] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:23:04] Speaker A: Let's explore this concept. [00:23:06] Speaker B: Okay. [00:23:07] Speaker A: Should the tattoos duplicate? [00:23:09] Speaker B: Sure. [00:23:09] Speaker A: I don't think they should. [00:23:10] Speaker B: Yeah, no, I think they should. Do they. Are they different for each each duplicate? [00:23:18] Speaker A: They probably should be. They're not, though. [00:23:19] Speaker B: Oh, wow. [00:23:20] Speaker A: I think you'd have to get your Own tattoos, Right, people. A duplicate. [00:23:23] Speaker B: I mean, if you're a duplicate, you would just. It would be the same as the other, as the original. [00:23:29] Speaker A: I mean, their clothes duplicate too. [00:23:31] Speaker B: Yeah, so. [00:23:32] Speaker A: So Jamie's cool shirt duplicates, but Clay's amazing early 2000s outfit also duplicates. [00:23:38] Speaker B: So, I mean, it makes sense. It makes sense. [00:23:41] Speaker A: Also his shitty ass neckbeard duplicates. [00:23:44] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, it's very popular. Well. [00:23:52] Speaker A: While Jamie, by stopping and creating a bunch of dupes, collapses the floor, and then before we can find out what happened, we get. Is this just. Is this the mag of disappointing things? It sounds like it, at least from an advertising standpoint, because we get an advertisement for another massively disappointing movie. [00:24:11] Speaker B: What is that. [00:24:14] Speaker A: One? Oh, Constantine. [00:24:16] Speaker B: Yes. [00:24:17] Speaker A: Or is it Constantine? [00:24:19] Speaker B: Constantine. Yeah. Yeah. [00:24:26] Speaker A: Again, let's take this character, and then we're gonna make the whole movie about cancer and smoking. [00:24:35] Speaker B: I mean, they had to do something. It's a message, Dan. It's a message. [00:24:43] Speaker A: Oh, God. All right, well, anyway, the Jamies all fall through the floor. He reabsorbs them. They find Stringer. [00:24:53] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:24:54] Speaker A: In the basement again. And he's like, I always hated you, Madrox. And he drags Stringer out of the building. So that's cool. So he broke the floor on accident, got away from the clays and found his friend, and drags him out of the building. [00:25:04] Speaker B: Steve Busham. [00:25:05] Speaker A: Hey, we get another advertisement for Zelda, the minish cap. Oh, that's a good game on Game Boy Advance. Yeah, solid game, by the way. Quite possibly one of the worst advertisements I've ever seen. I don't know how that advertises the game at all. [00:25:21] Speaker B: I mean, it doesn't. [00:25:29] Speaker A: We flipped the page and. Yeah, I got to quit laughing at the advertisements. [00:25:39] Speaker B: Oh. [00:25:40] Speaker A: Anyway, we have this touching scene where Stringer dies while I'm laughing at the advertisements. And Jamie says, I hear the fire engines, the ambulance in distance. Stringer's not gone gonna last that long. One of my dupes spent a year working for a coroner, so I know wounds. And Stringer isn't. Stringers isn't a gunshot. [00:26:04] Speaker B: O. Yeah. [00:26:09] Speaker A: And he's like, sheila did this. And he's like. Stringer's like, nice detective work so that it wasn't a snake. The. [00:26:21] Speaker B: It was a different noise from a different person. And a person was Sheila. [00:26:27] Speaker A: And in things that don't hold up, well, we get an advertisement for Together for a once in a lifetime experience. Collision Course. Jay Z and Linkin Park. [00:26:42] Speaker B: I mean, album's good, but. Yeah. [00:26:51] Speaker A: Almost as sad as the previous scene. [00:26:53] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:26:57] Speaker A: Well, anyway, now we're back to mutant Town, New York, and she's like, the wife of the that came in to get the investigation is now. I can't believe she's gone. And they're like, yeah, Mrs. Campbell, I know. There was nothing to it. Right. And Rain's like. And Guido's like, absolutely right. There was nothing to it. They're just like, ned died. May we rest in peace. We're not going to tell you that our. Our best friend murdered him. [00:27:25] Speaker B: Yeah. Accidentally. [00:27:28] Speaker A: And then from across the room, you hear, did somebody say Ned Campbell died? And we get, yeah, last night. And then we find out it's Kim. Yes. Then she's very angry. Oh, Mrs. Campbell. [00:27:43] Speaker B: Mrs. Campbell's not happy. [00:27:46] Speaker A: We get another advertisement for two page spread for Kill Zone. Again. [00:27:50] Speaker B: Kill Zone again. There you go. [00:27:52] Speaker A: And some more ruminations from Joe Quesada, which is always cool. I used to read these. [00:27:59] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:27:59] Speaker A: Something I did like reading. Anyway, instead of hurting Kim, Mrs. Campbell lights on fire. It's her power. Apparently. She's the torch. [00:28:16] Speaker B: She's a torch. [00:28:22] Speaker A: And they're like, remember she said she had a mutant power, but she didn't want because it was literally too painful. So she's like the torch, but she's not flame proof, so she lights herself up. This is awful. [00:28:33] Speaker B: Yeah, this. [00:28:34] Speaker A: This. [00:28:34] Speaker B: Okay. [00:28:35] Speaker A: Gross and yuck. [00:28:37] Speaker B: It burns. [00:28:39] Speaker A: Okay, well, we get back to Chicago and Eddie and Sheila are talking. [00:28:48] Speaker B: And. [00:28:48] Speaker A: She'S like, I'd never betray you. And then Jamie comes back and says, ah. Through you, Sheila finds out who all the toughest nuts are in Chicago, then cracks them one by one. But don't get too comfy, Ed. See, once the rivals were gone, you'd outlived your usefulness in classic film noir sense very. God damn it. What? [00:29:16] Speaker B: What is this an ad for? [00:29:18] Speaker A: A truth ad. [00:29:20] Speaker B: Oh. Ah. [00:29:25] Speaker A: What's worse? Nancy Reagan or paying tobacco companies or tobacco companies agreeing to put out ads to not have you smoke that have nothing to do with not smoking. [00:29:36] Speaker B: Mm. [00:29:40] Speaker A: And that are disgusting. [00:29:42] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:29:46] Speaker A: Like, if you're reading this, what the does this tell you? [00:29:50] Speaker B: It doesn't tell you anything. Stitched lips. That's what you see. [00:29:56] Speaker A: And right in the middle of my book. Okay, now we're back. I mean, Marvel, you probably needed the money at this point to take those advertisements, so. [00:30:08] Speaker B: They probably did. Okay. [00:30:12] Speaker A: And then in classic film noir sense, we're back in the story now that we're away from that shitty ass ad, as Jamie's recounting the whole story. [00:30:25] Speaker B: And. [00:30:25] Speaker A: He Says it's bad business to let the killer get away with it. Bad all around. Bad for every detective everywhere. You killed me. You're gonna going over for it. You and your beloved Eddie. Oh, gonna kill Sheila and everybody. We get another advertisement for quite possibly the worst film Seth Green was ever in. [00:30:45] Speaker B: Which one? Oh, without a paddle. I mean, you think it was that bad? I've seen worse Seth Green movies. [00:30:57] Speaker A: Yeah, I saw worse last night. I watched the Fantastic. Well, not last night. Last week. Last night. [00:31:10] Speaker B: Yeah, last week. Last night I watched. [00:31:13] Speaker A: I don't know what came over us, but Jiu Jitsu Lawyer Paul, and I watched Heads of State. [00:31:20] Speaker B: Ah. Yeah. That was. [00:31:24] Speaker A: It's an hour and 50 minutes of my life I will never get back. [00:31:28] Speaker B: Never get back. [00:31:33] Speaker A: I mean, at this point, John Cena is probably a national treasure. [00:31:37] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:31:39] Speaker A: But I'm. I'm highly disappointed in the fact that he spent time filming that instead of getting me, instead of getting The Peacemaker Season 2 Faster. Yeah, but, you know, it was definitely a film. [00:31:56] Speaker B: It was a movie. [00:31:58] Speaker A: Yeah, it. Jujitsu Lawyer Paul kept mentioning for the terrible script how good the production quality actually was. [00:32:09] Speaker B: So good. Yeah, it was. [00:32:12] Speaker A: Don't watch the whole movie, but you'll have to take a look at, like, the first, like, few minutes just to see the production quality. And you're going to be like, what the hell? Why was so much money spent on this film? [00:32:22] Speaker B: Probably because they had excess money. The script was so bad. [00:32:27] Speaker A: Yeah, I don't. It was. [00:32:29] Speaker B: Wow. [00:32:30] Speaker A: Well, anyway, we flipped the page and. And Eddie is done. [00:32:34] Speaker B: Yeah, he's. He is done done. [00:32:38] Speaker A: Like, we get another advertisement for the face I grab thing we didn't about. [00:32:43] Speaker B: Yeah, I'll have to look into that. [00:32:48] Speaker A: And then Eddie's dead. So Sheila starts turning into trans dimensional spider wizard. [00:32:58] Speaker B: She does. She does turn into. She. Yeah, it's. It's. It's pretty freaky, man. She doesn't have a mask, but starts. [00:33:10] Speaker A: Yeah, she goes to kill Jamie Prime. Yeah, I mean, it is really freaky. [00:33:18] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:33:19] Speaker A: If you're on the YouTube version. I'll. I'll. I'll hold it up here. [00:33:21] Speaker B: Pretty scary picture, man. [00:33:24] Speaker A: Not for kids. I mean, I don't think this book was for kids. No, we get another advertisement right in the middle of the fight. Oh, for Jack 3 again. [00:33:40] Speaker B: Fireworks are going off in my neighborhood already. Oh, my gosh. We better get the dog. [00:33:43] Speaker A: And Eddie is back. He's not dead. He got shot with a paint gun. [00:33:49] Speaker B: Oh, what paint gun? [00:33:52] Speaker A: And he shoots Clay. Does he murder Clay prime, probably. I hope so. [00:34:02] Speaker B: Maybe kill them all. [00:34:06] Speaker A: The best way I could just define Clay here is Clay is like, the worst 90s comic book character introduced to us in 2005. Like, the design and everything is like. [00:34:20] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:34:20] Speaker A: And that's that mid to late 90s character. We're gonna make them super cool. They're gonna have, like, some native tats in, like, them blondish white hair and, like, a cool neck beard and stuff. They're going to have some sunglasses. They clearly rode some skateboards and stuff. It was amazing. But they wear a trench coat. [00:34:39] Speaker B: Yeah, he's a bad dude doing bad things. [00:34:43] Speaker A: He's basically stealing my gimmick from the early 90s, actually. [00:34:47] Speaker B: Yeah. Look like Dan. [00:34:49] Speaker A: Yes, well, without the neck beard, because. [00:34:51] Speaker B: I can't grow fish. Yeah. [00:34:54] Speaker A: But actually, he does kind of look like. [00:34:56] Speaker B: Well, you painted that one on that one time. [00:35:02] Speaker A: He does actually kind of look like Dan from the early 90s. [00:35:04] Speaker B: He does. [00:35:05] Speaker A: When I had the white hair. [00:35:06] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:35:08] Speaker A: For like. Yeah, well, the long way now. I don't want to talk about it anymore. Well, that does put them about 12 years out of date, so. [00:35:16] Speaker B: That's true. Yeah. [00:35:19] Speaker A: Well, anyway, back away from my poor fashion choices. [00:35:25] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. [00:35:27] Speaker A: Eddie shoots Sheila. [00:35:29] Speaker B: Bam. [00:35:29] Speaker A: He dies and falls into the pool. She's a pretty easily defeatable monster. [00:35:34] Speaker B: I mean, I. I think anybody that gets a headshot you. Anytime you get a headshot in on somebody, you're. You're not. You're not coming back from it. [00:35:46] Speaker A: Eddie looks at Jamie in a fine scene, looks like he's gonna kill him. Tells him to leave because he saved Eddie's life. Eddie still owns all of the. Everything in Chicago. We're trying to get to the end of the story, but we can't because we get a ratchet and clank ad and clank. [00:36:03] Speaker B: Another good game. [00:36:04] Speaker A: Another twos page. Fred. I'm just wondering, like, how they afforded this much paper to run all these advertisements with. [00:36:13] Speaker B: The advertisements, of course, Dan. The advertisements paid for all the paper, Huh? [00:36:21] Speaker A: I mean, these comics were already. Already cost like 299 at this point. Imagine how much they would have cost with no advertising. [00:36:29] Speaker B: True, true. [00:36:32] Speaker A: I think I was. I think the other thing, too. I got spoiled by direct books. Right. And now every book is a direct book. But then all of a sudden, you had to pay advertising again. [00:36:41] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:36:41] Speaker A: But for a while, when you bought direct books, the whole point is you're getting direct books. So you had significantly less ads or just house ads. Right? [00:36:47] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:36:48] Speaker A: And then they switched the model Back. And now it's everything. Got all these damn advertisements in here. [00:36:54] Speaker B: All in. [00:36:55] Speaker A: Anyway, Jamie heads back to New York on a bus because he's poor and sad. [00:37:02] Speaker B: Penniless. I. [00:37:04] Speaker A: That is kind of how it ends. [00:37:05] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:37:06] Speaker A: It's like I'm waiting for the music to play. [00:37:11] Speaker B: It's got his backpack, and he's just walking down the street. [00:37:15] Speaker A: He's looking longingly out the window. [00:37:17] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:37:22] Speaker A: And anyway, he gets back, he brings Guido, a white socks, a Cubs hat, Right? [00:37:29] Speaker B: Yeah, Cubs hat, cubbies. [00:37:33] Speaker A: And he comes back in, and they're like, jamie, did you find the killer? He said, yeah, but I don't want to talk about it. And they're like, cool. And he's like, oh, we changed the name on your door. He's like, what? Yeah, we changed it to X Factor Investigations. His triple X sounds like porn. Like, oh, cool. He's like, that works for me. It sounds like we might get another book with X in the title. And in fact, Andy Schmidt, the editor, says in the notes page at the end, the future. Well, I don't want to get ahead of myself. Suffice to say, if you like Peter's writing or if you like Madrox, or even if you just like books with an X in the title, then stick around and keep an eye out. Mad Rock is a character of infinite possibilities. We've only just begun to explore them. [00:38:28] Speaker B: Whoa. [00:38:30] Speaker A: And we, of course, would get an X Factor book starring this cast of characters. We get the coolest thing I've finally. Finally an advertisement I can get behind. Back when you could still order subscriptions. Buy one, get one free Marvel comic subscription right there. Maybe that's why we have so many advertisements. [00:38:52] Speaker B: Maybe. [00:38:53] Speaker A: And then we get an advertisement for a movie that's actually worse than Electro. [00:38:58] Speaker B: Okay, what is it? [00:39:02] Speaker A: Coming out January 18th on Blu Ray. [00:39:06] Speaker B: No, DVD. [00:39:06] Speaker A: Not Blu Ray. Too early for Blu Ray. The Catwoman. [00:39:13] Speaker B: The Catwoman. Did you really think it was that bad? [00:39:17] Speaker A: Halle Berry. [00:39:18] Speaker B: Oh. Did you think it was that? [00:39:22] Speaker A: Are you joking here? That's one of the most worst movies ever made. I mean, like, we're. This is, like, Helen Slater Supergirl territory. [00:39:31] Speaker B: And I like that movie. [00:39:34] Speaker A: No, you did not. I. As a child, I did, but wake. [00:39:39] Speaker B: Yeah, the whole thing. [00:39:42] Speaker A: Well, for the first time in five issues, we don't get a fable ad. [00:39:46] Speaker B: Don't get a fable ad. What do you get? [00:39:49] Speaker A: Well, I actually think this ad at the end of the book was holistically appropriate. [00:39:53] Speaker B: Mm. [00:39:55] Speaker A: For the characters that were in the book. And the neckbeard okay. We get an advertisement for Edge Advanced Shave Gel which clearly should have been used on some of the characters in this book. [00:40:05] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, it's a shave gel that, that, that, that really, really gets on there and just helps lift the razor or the razor, lift the hair, cut the hair, get rid of there. [00:40:23] Speaker A: The good stuff as we put, as we put Madrox back into his bag. [00:40:27] Speaker B: Yes. [00:40:29] Speaker A: What did you think of our newest film noir story? [00:40:33] Speaker B: Man? Like all in all, great, great wrap up. Peter David did a bang up job with this, this, this 5 issue banger. It is a great story, a great jumping point for, for X Factor to, to, to go from. And all in all I thought like the, the way everything played out and stuff like that with both, both storylines it was, it was very good. So purely like I love myself a little, little detective story, a little noir and it definitely had me thinking as we were going through it, you know, like who, who, who, who? You know so well. [00:41:27] Speaker A: I'll just say I loved it. That's why I picked it out. [00:41:29] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:41:30] Speaker A: But I, and I, I will say, yeah, we did it. And next week we're going to be doing some Superboy 221. [00:41:39] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:41:39] Speaker A: In honor of Jim Shooter, one last shout out to Peter David. We love, love you and miss you. Rest in peace. Share those stories wherever you're at in the next life. And I will also say in a hard transition to advertising, if you need legal representation against employers like Eddie or Sheila, we have the guy for you. [00:42:01] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:42:02] Speaker A: We can connect you to Jiu Jitsu lawyer Paul. You can look him up on Night legal dot com. [00:42:12] Speaker B: Get yourself some legal representation, all your needs. [00:42:15] Speaker A: I obviously can't talk about them, but Paul is doing some amazing work representing some people that were discriminated against by their employer. Did you know? [00:42:25] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:42:25] Speaker A: That in Washington state if you file a complaint internally for say sexual harassment or harassment in the workplace or discrimination, your employer is not allowed to tell you not to talk about it. That is Washington state law. [00:42:43] Speaker B: So you can. [00:42:43] Speaker A: And if they come back at you and take any negative action at you for talking about the discrimination you face in the workplace, you can. [00:42:53] Speaker B: Ah. And that's why you need a lawyer like Paul, Jiu Jitsu lawyer Paul to have your back. [00:43:02] Speaker A: Right. And Jiu Jitsu lawyer Paul will not only protect you and protect your rights, but if that other lawyer gets frisky and wants to go to the mat, he will put them in a leg lock that they won't believe. [00:43:18] Speaker B: You know, shoot him, shoot the leg. [00:43:22] Speaker A: He'll Reap the leg. That's what it was. Reap the leg. [00:43:24] Speaker B: Reap the leg. [00:43:25] Speaker A: Reap the leg. [00:43:25] Speaker B: Shoot the arm. Shoot the arm. [00:43:27] Speaker A: Like cowbell. [00:43:29] Speaker B: Okay. Yeah. Reap, reap, reap. Reaper. [00:43:31] Speaker A: Feed the reaper. That's how you can remember. Reap the leg or cowbell. Yeah. So anyway, we have jujitsu lawyer Paul. You can find jujitsu lawyer Paul at night. Legal. Or you can go check out his gym on 27th and Jackson, slash Bridgeport in Tacoma, Washington. And so if you want to learn Jiu Jitsu or you want good legal representation, we've got the guy for you. I know it seems like a strange combination, but if you think about it, all the logic that has to go into planning those Jiu Jitsu moves and getting somebody tangled up. Yeah, you got to be a really smart guy to do that. Think about that. [00:44:07] Speaker B: And to mental gymnastics on the mat and. And in the law. In the law room, in the law. [00:44:13] Speaker A: You said gymnastics. I was going to say legal. Jujitsu. [00:44:15] Speaker B: Legal Jiu Jitsu. Yeah, there you go. I mean, it's. It's all there. [00:44:20] Speaker A: And of course, you can also visit Greg at Nan at our favorite store most days on Beaker street in Kent, Washington. Now operating on summer hours, open till 8 o'. [00:44:38] Speaker B: Clock. [00:44:38] Speaker A: 8 o'. [00:44:39] Speaker B: Clock. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and Saturday. [00:44:46] Speaker A: No, not on Saturday, sorry. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. [00:44:51] Speaker B: Yes, yes. But not on Saturday, not on Saturday, hope. [00:44:56] Speaker A: Until six on Saturday. [00:44:57] Speaker B: Yes, yes. I had to. I had to go to bed sometime. [00:45:01] Speaker A: And then finally you can also hit Greg up for a copy. Some book called Absolute Zero Camp Launchpad. [00:45:13] Speaker B: Yeah, you can, you can. [00:45:14] Speaker A: And he will, he will find it for you. He will personally sign it and he will send it to you. [00:45:23] Speaker B: The book? [00:45:24] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. And you just gotta pay him for it. [00:45:26] Speaker B: Yeah. Oh, I thought you were gonna say something else because boy, oh boy, I've been trying for. For. [00:45:31] Speaker A: No, the MXP XP, the MXPX CDs are coming out with the Starlight now, so. [00:45:37] Speaker B: Oh, oh, with Starlight. [00:45:38] Speaker A: If you back the Starlight campaign, you can expect your assigned MXP X CD to come with all of it. Especially if you bought the hardcover. It's only for the hardcover edition, Right. If you bought the soft cover, you had to. [00:45:48] Speaker B: You had to get the whole entire. The top tier with all the Brett extras and the. The pictures and everything like that and, you know. [00:45:56] Speaker A: Really? [00:45:57] Speaker B: Yeah. So you did that. If you did. If you did the top ist of top tiers, you know, like you.

Let's not dive into this too much. Yeah, but if you got the. All three covers here. Oh, wait, that's a. That's book seven. That's. That's not what we're looking for. Well, anyway, we don't need to investigate this right now because the campaign is over. [00:46:20] Speaker B: The campaign's over. You missed out. [00:46:23] Speaker A: Hopefully you. Hopefully you. You backed it. And if you didn't. But you want them to do another print run, you're going to have to contract Travis and get a few people interested, and then he'll maybe be able to do that. I don't know. I don't. Honestly don't know how many extra ones he printed, so we'll have to find out. [00:46:40] Speaker B: I have. We might have enough, and they'll be on the website. But we'll. We will see. We will see. [00:46:50] Speaker A: It's okay. I believe I fit the tier. So I get an MXP xc. I got art book and card sets. Yep, that's the tier you wanted right there. Damn it.
