A highlight from Tim Burton - 'Wednesday' [LIVE]
"Hi everyone and thank you for tuning in to the 507th episode of the Hollywood Reporters Awards Chatter Podcast. I'm the host Scott Feinberg and my guest today is a filmmaker unlike any other. With directing credits dating back some 40 years including 1985's Pee Wee's Big Adventure, 1988's Beetlejuice, 1989's Batman, 1990's Edward Scissorhands, 1994's Ed Wood, 2003's Big Fish, 2005's Corpse Bride, 2007's Sweeney Todd, 2012's Frankenweenie, 2014's Big Eyes, and most recently in 2022, half of the eight episodes that comprise the first season of Netflix's giant hit drama series, Wednesday, for which he is personally nominated for two Emmys, Best Directing for a Comedy Series, and as one of the show's executive producers, Best Comedy Series. The New York Times has called him a visionary artist, noting, quote, he has developed a singular if not easily pinned down sensibility. His style is strongly visual, darkly comic, and morbidly fixated, but it is rooted just as much in his affection for monsters and misfits, which in his movies often turn out to be the same thing. He all but invented the vocabulary of the modern superhero movie, brought new vitality to stop motion animation, and has come to be associated, for better or worse, with anything that is ghoulish or ghastly without being inaccessible. He may be the most widely embraced loner in contemporary cinema, close quote. His most frequent collaborator, Johnny Depp, who he has directed in 19 films, said that he is, quote, a filmmaker I admire, but he's much, much more than that. Without embarrassing him, he's a true artist, which is something I wasn't sure was possible in today's cinema. But he's the real thing. He's a visionary, an auteur, totally uncompromising, close quote. He's talking, of course, about Tim Burton. Over the course of a conversation in front of a large audience at the Burbank International Film Festival, including two of Burton's most celebrated and longtime collaborators, the composer Danny Elfman and the costume designer Colleen Atwood, the 65 -year -old and I discussed his complicated childhood and how it led him to pursue drawing and attracted him to characters regarded by others as freaks, how he wound up working at Disney Animation and then making his feature directorial debut with a live action film, the challenges of getting films made even with hits under his belt and what ultimately led him to TV for Wednesday, plus much more. And so, without further ado, let's go to that conversation. Hello, everyone, and Tim, thank you so much for doing this. Great to see you. I normally begin every episode of this podcast asking our guests where they were born and raised, which I think we have addressed, but I do want to get into it a little bit more because, you know, over the years, you have expressed that sort of what you just alluded to, that, you know, you were very shaped by Burbank. For better or worse, there were elements that were great, elements that were complicated. Can you talk about, but one thing that you've always said is that without Burbank and without those childhood experiences, the filmmaker we know today would not exist. So just break it down. Well, I mean, you know, I keep reading that I hate, you know, like the press has a way of sort of taking what you say and take out the nuance and subtlety and, you know, like go right to the core. But I think, you know, and when I said about whatever I said about Burbank, it had more to do with my own psychological state of mind than it did with the actual city of Burbank. You know what I mean? So and that's a bit too complicated and psychological to go into now, but in the sense that, you know, you grow up in feeling a certain way, Burbank helped shape me because, you know, there was like my first film school was the Cornell Theatre. There was this amazing theatre that was torn down, I think, in the late in the 80s. I don't know when it was, but, you know, they would for 50 cents, you could see a triple feature. Like, I saw one amazing, I saw War of the Gargantuas, Monster Zero and Destroy All Monsters in one go, you know, 50 cents. So that's where I learned my love of film and that really, so there was amazing places and it was incredible. There was like five movie theaters, Burbank at a certain time, and then they all got sort of taken away. But for me, that place, especially that theater was very, very special to me. And you've said that during your years in Burbank, which I think up until 12, you're living at, was it Evergreen Street? Is that where you were? Yeah, right down the street. Just down the street here. You can all walk over there after this. Yeah, we'll do a little. Check it out. Then you moved in with your grandmother also in Burbank, right? But as a bit of a loner, as a kid, you were kind of thinking about things, dreaming about things in everywhere from some of the cemeteries in town to... Yeah, the one right next door here, you know, I used to play around there, you know, that was, yeah. Yeah. You know, and I could look out my window, the thing that freaked me out, I looked out my window at Disney and this was like the weird, called the Bermuda Triangle of Burbank. Because I could see where I was born at St. Joseph's and then I could see the cemetery where everybody, all my family was buried. And I was, so it was like a weird Bermuda Triangle that I had to escape at a certain point because it was just too scary. Now, you've also said that as a kid, you were, you know, not only a bit of a loner, but sort of not particularly communicative, verbal with other people. You lived in your imagination, which manifested itself through drawing. Can we talk about how that entered the picture? And as was noted, I mean, to the extent that it was, you were talented enough that in Burbank, your work, anti -littering art was on the back of every garbage truck. I wanted $10, and at that time, that's probably like about a million now. Right, right, right. But drawing was an outlet for you. What kind of things were you drawing as a kid? Posters for trash trucks, I don't know, I mean, whatever. But also, I mean, the movies that you were drawn to, and I believe maybe therefore some of things the you were drawing were things that other people might find frightening or scary, but that you actually, in a way, related to, right? Like what are we talking about? Yeah, but I mean, like, you know, I didn't feel that different. It felt like, you know, I love famous monsters. I wait for that magazine to come out. I love monster movies. I live near a cemetery. You know, I mean, you use what you have, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it was good. Totally. And I think also, too, growing up in Southern California, where you don't really have seasons, I think that's why I kind of got into, you know, like things like Nightmare for Christmas or Halloween, just because it gave you a sense of occasion, a sense of season that you didn't get through the weather, you know, I mean, to experience, like holidays, you had to go like to the main, like, at Save On and look at the holiday displays to kind of experience.

The Bitboy Crypto Podcast
A highlight from Congress Demands Bitcoin ETF NOW! (Gary Gensler Accusations)
"Good morning. It is time to discover crypto. Today is September 27th. It's my late mother's birthday today and it is 11 .31 Eastern Standard Time. How are you doing today? We got Tim and someone else at Andrews, BJ on the ones and twos today. How are y 'all doing? I'm doing fantastic. Great, great morning so far. Excited about this show. Excited to have BJ sitting in our production seat. Looking forward to it. Yeah, BJ. BJ, how was Vegas? BJ just got from Vegas for Magic the Gathering. How was it? I mean, it was epic. It was fun. Were you the one hacking the casinos for $100 million? No, but I do have some very funny footage when we went to the MGM. Okay. We might do something with that later. All right. Did you jump into the lion pit and you rode a lion? I don't want PETA coming after me. All right, guys, make sure you hit the like button if you haven't already. We're going to talk about Gensler's speech in front of Congress, what's going on. We got a couple clips from that as well. We also have a breakdown of his speech. We're going to talk about Bitcoin jumping in price. We're going to talk about CCP. We're going to talk about Binance as well and Ethereum staking as well. All right, let's just get right into it, folks. All right, so we do have, you know, Gary, he's in front of Congress right now. There's a harsh notice to the SEC from a large group of US representatives led by Tom Emmer, approved Bitcoin spot ETFs, immediately. He said, I like to think there was an exclamation point after the end of that as well. Representatives Mike Flood, Tom Emmer, Richie Torres, and Wiley Nickel. What the heck is up with the name Wiley Nickel? That is a cartoon character that's going to shoot you at the saloon, correct? That or it's a superhero's, you know, real name. I would take superhero sidekicks, real name. You know, Batman and his sidekick, Wiley Nickel, because Robin fell down the shaft. But no, yeah, Wiley, we love Wiley, I guess, maybe, I don't know. They sent a letter to Gensler on Tuesday arguing that a regulated spot Bitcoin ETF would increase investor protection. Congress has the duty to ensure that the SEC approves investment products that meet the requirements established by Congress. Here are requirements. Okay, crypto ETF fits that. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know if we can prove that you're not doing your job representatives here, or you're not doing your job, SEC. The court specifically addressed the SEC's disparate treatment of spot Bitcoin ETFs and similar funds based on a regulatory approved futures contracts. Representatives point out this inconsistency saying a spot Bitcoin ETP is no different than a Bitcoin futures ETP. Therefore, the SEC's current stance is untenable going forward. So that was the statement. Okay, then. So what did the SEC say in response? Well, the SEC is delaying a decision on Art21's proposed spot Bitcoin ETF until January 2024. They also postponed the decision on GlobalX's Bitcoin ETF until October. This isn't saying a no, this is just a classic kick the can down the road here. So Cebo BZX had earlier proposed a rule change aiming for approval listing of the Art21's ETF, although they submitted April 25th. It was not published for comment until May 15th. They then designated a longer approval period on June 15th. Well, you fast forward to today, they're expected to approve or reject within 181 days or by November 11th. However, the regular setting is current. Finally, it is allowed to extend the approval deadline by an additional 60 days. So not only do they get to increase the amount of time, hey, guys, we need 180 days. All right, we're on 179 days. Oh, yeah, I need another 60 days. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. As such, they have now postponed until January 10th, 2024. Many asset management firms submitted similar filings for ETFs after BlackRock submitted its own application in mid -June. However, ARK submitted considerably earlier. They can only delay until January of next year where it can delay some of these other ones until March of next year. But then you know what happens on February 28th? Wait, is next year a leap year? February 29th, what's going to happen? Oh, we need another 60 days. So even though you're seeing March 24 is the latest deadline there, I wouldn't be surprised if March 2024 gets increased. If I have a video clip from the SEC hearing chat, they can hear it, right? The audience can hear? Yeah, we can play around or if you send it to me. Okay, well, I have to hit refresh here. This is breaking. I haven't had time to send it to you. This is just getting uploaded within the last hour. This one, Matt will we know? Do we know? Let's try. Let's try.
Evangelism on SermonAudio
A highlight from Mystery Meat
"Morning. Ashley wasn't kidding. I am glad to be back. I really, really love this church. It's evident every time we go away, and I absolutely love preaching and teaching the Word of God. I get a little jealous when I'm away, to be honest with you, when I see someone else standing behind my pulpit. Just truthfully, I'm jealous over this. I love doing this. It's the greatest privilege in the world. Well, if you're just visiting us, we go through books of the Bible, and we're going through one of the, as if they can be ranked, right? But John has done some incredible work down through history. This book has been used to convert souls, the most unlikely of souls. And so whenever we have taken a little bit of a break, I've been gone for two weeks, and so some of you may have no idea. Some of you can't remember what you did last night, let alone two weeks ago, right? So whenever I'm away for a little while, I like to do a two -minute review of the purpose of the book so that you know why this book was written. In case some of you are here and are not familiar with the Bible and how it works, it's a library. As a matter of fact, biblio means library, and so there are 66 of these books, and each one of them has a different purpose. And the Gospel of John has its own unique, distinct purpose, and here's the job of every interpreter. Every interpreter's job is not to find clever ways to make it mean something that's relevant for their culture. That's not the job of an interpreter. The job of an interpreter is simple. Get in the head of the original author to the original audience. I have to try to find out what John meant. Who cares what we think it means, right? Give me an amen. We want to know what John says it means, and we want to know what John says it means to the first readers. We're not the first readers. This was written to a unique people group a long time ago in the Middle East. And so let's start up again by reframing our mind according to what the author says he wrote this for. At the very, very end of the book, it's 21 chapters long, and at the very, very end of the book, he tells us flat out why he wrote the book. Here's what he says. He says, Jesus performed many other signs, miraculous signs that is, in the presence of his disciples which are not written in this book. In other words, you're going to have to go somewhere else for those. These, the contents of this book, these have been written so that, here comes the author's purpose statement, so that you may, say the word, be. So that's purpose number one, that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. And there's a second purpose, that believing you may have life in his name. This, what you're reading, is a true, historical, eye -witness account of the life and ministry of a man who lived in the Middle East, who rose from the dead. That means, if someone raises from the dead and defeats something that you can't defeat, you should probably listen to what he has to say, don't you think? John says, I'm recording every word that man who rose from the dead had to say, so that you can, two things. One, believe, and two, live. Here's the point of the book. The point of the book is to help people believe an eye -witness account to the life of a man who died, and then three days later, got up and walked around. But it's not just so that you can say, okay, I believe. No more John. No. It's so that as you experience seasons of doubt in your life, you come back to John and say, oh yeah, this is why I should keep on believing. And when I'm struggling to believe, John will help to reaffirm your feet on solid ground, so that you go through your whole life saying, I believe. Tomorrow, I'm going to believe again. The next day, I'm going to believe again. John is for the person sitting here who's not a believer. And they know they're not a believer, and someone drug you here. You're here on purpose, and John is written for you. But John is also for the person who's been a believer for the last 66 years. And you know John, but maybe you're in a season of doubt. Maybe you're struggling because you just lost your spouse. John is a book for you. So, before we go any further and dive back into John, we are in, I started in April. That's about five months ago. We're in the fourth chapter of 21 chapters, and we're about halfway through the fourth chapter. And so, I'm sure that all of you remember exactly where we left off, but just in case there's one person who can't remember, let's repurpose our hearts. Let's go before God, every individual. I'm not going to do this for you. You're here as a worship service. That means there's a part for you. You're going to go before God right now, and you're going to say, Lord, I'm here to hear from you. And you spoke through John, and so speak to me through your servant John. Let's do it together. Father, I'm just a tool to act on behalf of the people who are here to meet with their God. As Craig said, you are a living God. No one else can claim that, but we can because Christ is alive. And so, we put our faith in you. I pray that you would help every person here to commit their heart and mind to not just listening to the word of God, but doing what it says. Lord, speak to us, for we are listening. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen. Fourth chapter of John, it reads like a movie script. I read it again. It's like the 20th time that I've read it just this month. And this week as I was preparing, I read it, and I'm like, some chapters read like a movie script, and some are not like that. Fourth chapter of John, it literally is set up for a producer and director to just go and put this on film. And I couldn't help but this week as I was reading it, my mind went back to a show that I watched when I was growing up. It was the original Batman show with Burt Ward and Adam West from the 70s. How many of you know what show I'm talking about? Just curious. I had a feeling. I grew up on that show. My mom would put it on for me when I'd come home from school. And there was this thing that they did in the show where whenever they would transition to another part, the narrator would come on and say, meanwhile, back in Gotham City, or meanwhile in the Batcave, and then you'd see the transition. The screen would roll, and you'd hear the doodle -a -doodle -a -doo, remember? It's showing you what's happening at a different part at the same time. John 4 is written like that because the text we're going to start with opens up in a meanwhile in another part of town, and my mind just went back to the old Batman as I was raised on. Here's what you're going to learn. If you've been here for a while, then you know that we're in one of the most beautiful dialogues that really I've ever taken in history. It's between Jesus and a promiscuous Samaritan woman, and he is tender with her. Isn't he tender with her? We're going to get back to that dialogue next week, but the writer, the narrator of the story, interjects. He pauses the story, and he wants you to stop thinking about the woman and Jesus for just a moment because there's an absolutely important lesson that Jesus wants to teach his disciples, and it is a major, major pause. And so this morning, I invite you to turn in your Bibles to John 4. We're going to start in verse 31, and we're going to go down through 38. Not very much, but it's a meanwhile, so you can see the screen roll in your head, and here's what it says. John 4, 31 through 38.

Bomb Threats (MM #4555)
"The Nason Minute with Kevin Nason. Over the weekend, someone called in a bomb threat to our Hard Rock Cafe on lower Broadway in downtown Nashville, right there off the river. And I thought to myself, the Hard Rock Cafe, why would you do that? Well, then a little while later, I'll call in the police. There was an active shooter at what they call the Batman building here in Nashville, the AT &T building. Again, this is happening over a weekend. What's going on? Of course, we had that bomb detonation a couple of Christmases ago, so everybody's on edge. They go down to the Hard Rock. They don't find anything. No active shooter at the AT &T building. I've always wondered why people call in bomb threats, and I realize police have to go in to be better safe than sorry, but what's it accomplish? You see it all the time on TV shows like Law and Order where people are calling in bomb threats, but is somebody just trying to be a menace? What do they get? A pleasure out of it? I really don't understand. It's one thing if you call in a bomb threat, and there's actually a bomb there. But to call in a bomb threat on a weekend morning at a restaurant, I'm very confused. I guess when you're a city like Nashville with a lot of tourism, people want to create mayhem. It's very strange to me. I've never understood.

I really don't understand. It's one thing if you call in a bomb threat, and there's actually a bomb there. But to call in a bomb threat on a weekend morning at a restaurant, I'm very confused. I guess when you're a city like Nashville with a lot of tourism, people want to create mayhem. It's very strange to me. I've never understood.
The Mason Minute
Bomb Threats (MM #4555)
"The Nason Minute with Kevin Nason. Over the weekend, someone called in a bomb threat to our Hard Rock Cafe on lower Broadway in downtown Nashville, right there off the river. And I thought to myself, the Hard Rock Cafe, why would you do that? Well, then a little while later, I'll call in the police. There was an active shooter at what they call the Batman building here in Nashville, the AT &T building. Again, this is happening over a weekend. What's going on? Of course, we had that bomb detonation a couple of Christmases ago, so everybody's on edge. They go down to the Hard Rock. They don't find anything. No active shooter at the AT &T building. I've always wondered why people call in bomb threats, and I realize police have to go in to be better safe than sorry, but what's it accomplish? You see it all the time on TV shows like Law and Order where people are calling in bomb threats, but is somebody just trying to be a menace? What do they get? A pleasure out of it? I really don't understand. It's one thing if you call in a bomb threat, and there's actually a bomb there. But to call in a bomb threat on a weekend morning at a restaurant, I'm very confused.

A highlight from 435 Someone is stealing pens in our office. Matt does not use envelopes and Rich used to use them behind curtain to bring them to government workers. Bear with no teeth is under bed staining carpet green and red like a Christmas. Matt is expanding his family and he puts them in Naples ZOO for good reason. One of them is a grandmother. Episode #435 September 5th. 2023
"Another divine and that is Tuesday September 5th and episode 435 from ThisMikeRich and from ThisMikeRich on episode 435, it's Matt. Oh, that's my pen. You take my pen again. Yeah, you always cry baby about it. Why are you taking my pen? Well, because you have a red one and I have this blue one and sometimes they're close to next to each other and I grab yours by accident and you get all crazy. I always wanted to... You pull it out of my hand real quick and snatch it and then you throw my pen onto my side of this desk here. That's what you do. Yes. Like a little baby having a temper tantrum. Yeah, I have to be... What are you? Six? Five? Three years old? No, because then I find it in your pocket. Well... That's exactly right. So, you know... Well, let me just give you a question here since we started so nicely. Okay. Because I want to know how focused you are today. All right. I'm not really focused, but I'll try. Okay. So focus now. You ready? On both of us. What starts word with E, ends with E, and has only one letter in it? You got me. Envelope. Really? Yeah. Oh, that's nice. I haven't used an envelope for I don't know how long. Do they even still make those? Yeah. With emails today and all the different forms of communication? Yeah. Last time I seen envelope that was addressed to me, it was with a paycheck. It was 1997. Really? That's it? That was the last paycheck with an envelope. You've never gotten a subpoena? You've never had a ticket? No. You've got the court date one? You go online and pay online. They save money. What about divorce court? You ever had one of those? No. No. You ever get a bill? How about a bank statement? I get the bills and I throw them in the bag and somebody else deals. Yeah, that's right. You're an accountant. For me, I do everything electronically now, so I don't really see very many envelopes except for those people that send all kinds of ... You know how you change your address and I'll quit. You change your address and all of a sudden you get all the new introductory, welcome to the neighborhood mail. I love that thing. You came to the post office before. They had this envelope and you filled up the address where you live and you took all the discounts out of the envelope. I used to go and collect them, those envelopes. I threw the paper in the garbage where you fill up the address, but I took all the discounts for the loans and Home Depot. Then they came. The day D came. No more envelopes. How much longer do you think the existence of an envelope will be? As long as until - I mean, everything's electronic. No, I think it's going to be forever. Okay. Yeah, it's going to be like your books. Like nostalgia? Yeah. Yeah. I'll save some. Okay. I still have envelopes. They've been flooded, so they're kind of already enclosed. Oh, that's right. They're already enclosed. You don't know what's inside. No, there you go. They said to open them. I have a whole box of 500 envelopes. We can slowly open one by one, find nothing. I'll let you have at it. That'd be nice to open an envelope, find nothing. No bill. No bill. No love letter, and then breaks your heart, you know? Nothing. So, since you failed on that question, I have another one for you. Okay. What do you call a bear with no teeth? That's going to be very soon your situation, because you've done such a lovely - I have no idea. Can you tell me? You're like a fluffy bear already. I have no idea. You act like I'm the Riddler on Batman.

Mike Gallagher Podcast
A highlight from Did Ron DeSantis Have A Basket Of Deplorables Moment?
"This is your source for breaking news and what to make of it all. This is The Mike Gallagher Show. I can tell you right now, Donald Trump's going to win whether he shows up or not. And on Thursday, any channel you turn on is going to show a reel of what each candidate said about Trump. One person who hasn't been indicted is Zivak Ramaswamy. I keep on scratching my head on why his numbers have improved so much. I think that this is a very weak case that's going to die very quickly, at least as far as being prosecuted in Georgia courts. Now, from the ReliefFactor .com studios, here's Mike Gallagher. So riddle me this, Batman. How does Ron DeSantis go after Donald Trump without attacking Trump supporters? You talk about the fine art of politics. Good luck with that. As Governor DeSantis discovered over the weekend when he gave a fairly innocuous answer to Will Witt, a great young conservative voice now based here in Florida. He's been affiliated with PragerU, and Governor DeSantis sat down with him, I guess, to reach out to young people. And Will is a smart, accomplished young guy. And Governor DeSantis had what many believe to be his basket of deplorables moment. Did he step in it big time, referring to Trump supporters as listless vessels sort of taking marching orders from the latest thing that came out of President Trump's truth social account? Ouch.
Andrew Tate Motivational Speech
A highlight from WARRIOR MINDSET - Andrew Tate Motivational Speech
"I think that's what the average man really needs to struggle. And I've been saying this has been my message for a very long time in all realms. I've said for a very long time that life for the average man is going to get harder and harder. It's becoming more and more competitive. You need to find more and more ways to stand out and be unique. And the only way to really do those things, unfortunately, as a man, is to suffer. And that's one of the reasons I'm kind of glad that God put me in jail. Because if you look at anything that builds a man into a man, there's a degree of suffering. It's very hard to become a man and have a man who's respected and has stories. And capable is when he only had a nice life and nice experiences. It's usually the things that made you the best version of you are usually the worst things that happen to you. So the demons I carry from jail, the fact I can't sleep. The fact I can't sleep, I've had girls say to me, you can't sleep, you need to see a psychiatrist. And I said, absolutely not. I would be furious if a psychiatrist walked in here and took my demons from me. I don't care if they could fix me with a click, they're mine. And they're bestowed to me by God. And they're mine to deal with and they're mine to fix because that's how I become a better version of me. I would be furious if someone took them away from me. I'm glad I can't sleep. Good, I can train endlessly. That's why I'm bigger than I've ever been. I'll train every, I'm not gonna waste a minute. But all the demons that have been given to me by God and all the problems that have been given to me by God are mine to fix. I would never ever allow anybody else to take them from me. I'd be furious. If a psychologist came in and said I could cure you, I'd say, no thank you, I will cure myself. I don't care if it takes 10 years. I'll cure myself, that's my job. And I know that when that's done, I will be more mentally resilient than I ever would have been without jail. That's the whole point. Of it, right? So many men say I want to be the man, but they don't want to suffer. They don't want to fight and I don't understand why because even if you look at a superhero movie, they tell you even in superhero movies. They make it very clear Batman's parents died. That's why he's Batman. All the bad things have to happen. There's no way to get there without the bad things. I get so many emails from people complaining about their bad things. I don't have time to reply to any of them. But if I could, I'd say good. Good luck. Congratulations. Off you go. Of course, you broke your heart. Of course, you're sad. Of course, you miss her. She's with me now. That's life. That's part of it. That's the only way you're going to get to that level of resilience. You can't become the man any other way. So yeah, I thank God for everything bad that's ever happened to me and all the demons and you decipher it and you work out the best way to deal with it. And you internalize the good parts and you become a better and stronger and more resilient person for it. So I have to thank God for every single one of them. Particularly at risk is for the thing you just said. It's the masculine youth who are my fans. It's the 11 year olds, 12 year olds, 15 year olds, 16 year olds. They are the future of the world. They're the people you want to go and die in a ditch. They're the soldiers you need. Those are the people you need psy -opt. You need them psy -opt. You can't have a bunch of men who aren't psy -opt. That's when you lose control of everything when the men don't listen anymore. And they're all listening to me. And I'm teaching them things like God, religion, personal responsibility, accountability, discipline. And everyone's saying, well, why are they attacking Andrew for just telling the truth and making me go to the gym? Because when you have these things, when you have accountability and discipline and personal responsibility, you have a barrier, you have a parameter, you have a no, you have a limit. They don't want you to have a limit. None of the men are allowed limits. We must accept whatever we are given from our relationship with our woman, from the government, from our job. We're just the slaves. We're the backbone of the tax bracket. We just have to shut up and pay our taxes. As soon as we have limits, they have a problem. That's why they dislike the things I teach. What do I really say? What do I really teach young kids that's genuinely dangerous? What do I say? Go to the gym, stick up for yourself, stick up for yourself, go to the gym. You're allowed an opinion, educate yourself, be smart, work hard, believe in things, believe in yourself. They pretend they give a shit about men's mental health, but you come along and actually advocate and tell men how to be happier. I've been a sad man and happy. I am a man. I know exactly how it feels on all ranges of emotion. I'll be honest with you right now. When a man is sad, yeah, there is an inclination towards aggression. That's how we're born. That's how we're evolved. We're evolved with that inclination towards aggression. We need that to protect and provide. That's who we are. We need that bravery. But having a bunch of depressed, sad men who have no emotional control is dangerous for society. I say this all the time. They try and pretend that I'm somehow dangerous for society by telling men to stand up for themselves and be masculine. Absolutely not, really not. When you tell a man to have no emotional control and be more feminine, that's a school shooter. A school shooter is not a man with masculine accountability. He's a man who's told act how you feel all the time. Then he gets picked on for long enough. Throw on some drugs on top, his psychiatrist gave him. Throw in a lack of a girlfriend and he's had enough. That's where school shooting comes from. School shooting does not come from men being masculine. It comes from the absolute opposite of these things and they know this. They know this very, very well.
CoinDesk Podcast Network
A highlight from GEN C: From Batman to NFTs How Warner Bros. Discovery Is Building Web3 Into Franchises
"So getting back to Web 3 and knowing that Warner Brothers has a ton of beloved IP and knowing that you've invested in these communities and you continue to invest in them, even your execs are calling out Discord names, which is totally something that we do as well, too. We're like, oh, yeah, here's so and so again. We kind of like know their patterns a lot. But knowing you've got all this beloved IP, what are the next steps that you think need to happen in Web 3 for it to continue to grow and be meaningful for fans beyond sort of those blockchain natives? Yeah, I mean, it's been a crazy ride the last 24 months, right, or 30 months, just kind of watching this industry evolve so fast. And for those that lived through the dot combust in the late 90s, early 2000s, like this was so much faster, how quickly things kind of rose and, you know, kind of diverged. And I think it's a build time right now, not to use that cliche term, but I think it's, you know, really trying to remove the friction to participate in the space, both for consumers and for new companies. We actually just announced last week we're launching a form of a accelerator tech incubator with a company called Acme Innovation, where we're inviting emerging technology companies, largely in the Web 3 space, to come to Warner Brothers, meet with our executives, do a little bit of a startup boot camp, and help us solve problems that we're trying to solve. And, you know, this kind of came about through a lot of the conversations I was having in the NFT space was, if only we could do X, Y, and Z with, you know, this division in our company or this division in our company. And it's very hard to navigate those conversations even internally. And so we thought, as a company, let's come together and say, okay, let's look at some emerging technology, whether it's in the Web 3 loyalty space, whether it's in kind of embracing community management, that kind of thing, and see if there's things that can be applied across our whole company, and then eventually the industry. And so I think it's investing in, you know, not losing sight in what this can be and what, you know, not just kind of the blockchain of it all, but as your point, Avery, the broader Web 3 definition, what it could be, and keeping your eye focused on the future. To me, that's really forward -thinking, I think, of you guys as a brand. Also, to continually want to invite the folks who are building at the base levels, sort of to help teach you guys what is it they're working on, and let you inform them, here's, as a historic brand who has a lot of firepower behind it, what would it be like to see and see if there's a synergy there? Yeah, I mean, what we look at is, I mean, again, in my position, I'm privy to a lot of really great pitches and demos and things like that of stuff that's coming. And, you know, a lot of it, we'll look at it and be like, oh man, like, this is amazing. I don't know what we would do with it. But it's just so exciting to be part of it. But then you start to overlay our great brands and franchises and like, oh, what if we were able to use this emerging technology to be able to allow Batman fans to experience Batman like they haven't been able to before? You know, it's this kind of continuous hunt for super -serving the fans. And that's ultimately all we're ever trying to do is how do we keep telling these stories in new and exciting ways and celebrating the past as well? Do you think you'll ever go super -D -Gen, like Batman versus the Super Yeti or Crypto Punk 4479? I mean, there's ways we can go with this. You know, I like to consider us part of the broader community, you know, like we've done some collaborations here and there, you know, but I think, you know, some of the projects, we're just trying to do different things, you know, but there's so much overlap. Even in our own projects, we have great projects with multiple partners. We have a trading card partner, Cartamundi, also known as Hero. They have a great product. We have our back howls. McFarland Digital just launched two weeks ago. And that community of fans is just going from one to another to another. Like they're encouraging, they're seeing, they're embracing, they're more than any place I've ever seen it. I actually, I was doing a Twitter Spaces last week and it was with our partner Palm or Candy Digital now, as well as McFarland. And I think it's the first time we've ever done a public forum with two licensees of ours on the same conversation. And it wasn't competitive. Right. And so it's just, it's such a refreshing thing to see, like I was mentioning, to see this power go to the fans. Like we're all trying to collectively build something better for everyone. And it's being driven by the biggest fans on the planet. Like I'm a huge Batman fan. I'm a huge Looney Tunes fan. Like, and all the people that work on these projects are definitely like drinking our own Kool -Aid on this stuff. Like we really love to create new stuff. Sounds like a really fun job and a really special role to be able to connect fans and emerging technology to do more amazing things for fans. So on that very positive note, Josh, thank you so much for taking the time to join us and to chat on Gen -C today, sharing your invaluable insights and your career and entertainment and sharing the path that you've blazed at Warner Brothers in DC. It's really impressive. And we look forward to seeing more cool innovations from you all and your partners. And as a side note, I think it's really nice to hear, you know, you give so much credit to your partners. That doesn't always happen. So I appreciate you calling some of them out and listeners check out some of these cool brands and makers that Josh mentioned. Awesome. Thank you so much, you guys. Josh, thanks so much. Thanks, Josh.
Andrew Tate Motivational Speech
A highlight from BEAST MENTALITY - Andrew Tate Motivational Speech
"What would each of you tell your 17 -year -old self? What would I do? Stop wasting your time. So I was 17. I was working at a fast food restaurant making sandwiches. Now the internet didn't really exist as such. But looking back on it, it was part of my journey. And I regret nothing because I ended up where I am. So would I even go back and tell myself anything is the question. If I had to, it would be to not burn so much of my time. Let's talk to the 17 -year -olds who are listening. If you finish your job, come home, play video games, et cetera. That's what I used to do when I was 17 a little bit. What I didn't do is come home and think, OK, fuck, let's work on something new. Let's try and build something. Let's start a YouTube channel. Let's start creating content instead of consuming content. Yeah, I'd tell myself to be a little bit more proactive with my free time and not fuck around so much. If you had a teenage son, what would be the one piece of advice you'd give him to break through the matrix and achieve success in life? I think if you're a young man, even if you're not my child, just any man who's out there in the world today, you need to look at some problems that need solving either for yourself or for society and find a way to fix them. And I think that you should just adopt some problems and try and fix them. It doesn't matter what it is. You can just try and fix the litter in your area, or you can try and get a six pack or whatever you want. Men are builders. The modern world, call me misogynistic, the modern world was built by men. Every building you're in was built by men. Every road you drive on was built by men. We're builders, we build things, and that's what you should be focused on. I think that a lot of people don't understand that it's all of the challenges and struggles that's going to make them, it's either going to make or break them. It's how you look at the problems and how you use them to fuel you. What you have to do is frame it inside of your mind and understand that all of those problems are going to allow you, give you the fuel, the unlimited motivation that you need to become a successful and beautiful individual if you frame it in the right way. If you take a man and give him a life shielded from problems that he never has any to face, I guarantee you he's terrible at being a man. The best men in the world have gone through shape. That's just, that's why women love scars because they didn't kill you. That's the whole point of it, right? So the best thing you can do as a man is look and go, okay, this is hard, this is hard, this is hard, this is hard. I feel negative because these are also difficult. I'm struggling with X, Y, Z. Let me internalize all of that and turn it into a superpower. Let me become genuinely uncomfortable with my situation in life and go and fix things because, like I said, the universe is absolutely and utterly very giving. And if you truly hated being in the position you were in, you wouldn't be there very long. So I think that the number one problem with the world today and the biggest problem that men face isn't the problems themselves. It's just the way that they've been taught to mentally frame issues. People think when bad things happen to them that somehow they're a victim to the universe and bad things only happen to me and this is so terrible. They don't understand that bad things happen to everybody and the most successful person you know had all those problems, maybe even worse, at least the same bad things happen to them. They just framed it differently and used it. That's the difference. So I don't pray for an easy life. I pray for a life of difficulty that allows me to become a better and better person. I pray to become more competent to handle problems. I pray to put myself in a position where if the mass weedy machine attempts its very best to destroy my life, I can laugh and smile from my fill in the mind. This is who I pray to become. I don't pray that nobody hurts me. I pray to be able to fight. So it's a different mentality. I think a lot of people build their mindsets around trying to feel good. So that's why we were talking earlier about people who want to ignore the idea of personal responsibility or self -accountability because they feel better if they pretend it's not a real thing. They feel better if they pretend everything someone else's fault. A lot of people's mental model and how they view the world is based around them feeling as good as possible. So when you sit there and talk to somebody who has the mask on and they refuse to believe the elites are laughing at them, it's not because they can't comprehend the ideas. It's because they feel better if they don't believe that they are a clown to the elites. I feel better if this is really all innocent and it's really all about a disease. So people are trying to base their mindsets around trying to feel good. I have always tried to base my mindset around absolute competence regardless of how I feel. And there are certainly disadvantages to that. There are times you're going to be a lot more pessimistic or you're going to be a lot more stressed or a lot more pissed off about certain things than others. Yeah, that can be seen as a downside. But like I said, I use all of those things for unlimited motivation to propel my endless upward trajectory. But if you construct a mindset that allows you to be as competent as possible as opposed to feel any different or feel better, then you're going to naturally come to the conclusions I've come to. You're as competent as possible if you believe you can affect absolutely everything about your life. You're as competent as possible if you believe absolutely everything that's happened to you, whether good or bad, is completely your fault. You're as competent as possible if you believe the bad things that happen to you are going to allow you to work harder and become even better. When bad things happen to me, the first thing on my mouth is good. Good, good. That's just my response. Good, good, good. Now, now I'm really pissed. I think that's what the average man really needs to struggle. And I've been saying this has been my message for a very long time in all realms. I've said for a very long time that life for the average man is going to get harder and harder. It's becoming more and more competitive. You need to find more and more ways to stand out and be unique. And the only way to really do those things, unfortunately, as a man is to suffer. And that's one of the reasons I'm kind of glad that God put me in jail, because if you look at anything that builds a man into a man, there's a degree of suffering. It's very hard to become a man and have a man who's respected and has stories and is capable when he only had a nice life and nice experiences.

I would be furious if a psychiatrist walked in here and took my demons from me. I don't care if they could fix me with a click, they're mine. And they're bestowed to me by God and they're mine to deal with and they're mine to fix because that's how I become a better version of me. I would be furious if someone took them away from me. I'm glad I can't sleep. Good, I can train endlessly. That's why I'm bigger than I've ever been. I'll train every, I'm not going to waste a minute, but all the demons that have been given to me by God and all the problems that have been given to me by God are mine to fix. I would never ever allow anybody else to take them from me. I'd be furious. If a psychologist came in and said, I could cure you, I'd say, no, thank you, I will cure myself. I don't care if it takes 10 years. I'll cure myself, that's my job. And I know that when that's done, I will be more mentally resilient than I ever would have been without jail. That's the whole point of it, right? So many men say, I want to be the man, but they don't want to suffer. They don't want to fight. And I don't understand why, because even if you look at a superhero movie, they tell you, even in superhero movies, they make it very clear. Batman's parents died. That's why he's Batman. All the bad things have to happen. There's no way to get there without the bad things. I get so many emails from people complaining about their bad things. I don't have time to reply to any of them, but if I could, I'd say, good. Good luck. Congratulations. Off you go. Of course, you broke your heart. Of course, you're sad. Of course, you miss her. She's with me now. That's life. That's part of it. That's the only way you're going to get to that level of resilience. You can't become the man any other way. So, yeah, I thank God for everything bad that's ever happened to me and all the demons. And you decipher it and you work out the best way to deal with it and you internalize the good parts and you become a better and stronger and more resilient person for it. And that's why if you're a man and you're waking up every day and you're not trying your very best to be important or upgrade yourself or upgrade your character or you're lacking motivation, then you have a serious problem because it is your job to be capable of dealing with the insurmountable pressure which God is going to put upon you so that when you suffer, everyone around you does well. Our lives are set up that even if they throw us in a dungeon today, everybody we love will be okay. Forever. And that is what's most important. That's the most important thing. That's success. And that was absolutely comforting in jail when we discussed that and we said everyone we love is okay. You and I just have to make it through this. And that's absolutely and utterly comforting. If you're a man staying at home right now, you need to sit and say, okay, if they plucked me from my life, if they picked me up and threw me in a room and locked me in a jail cell. Which can happen. Which can happen to anybody, especially as they continue these matrix attacks on masculinity as a whole. Would your wife have a roof over her head? Would your children eat? Would your family be okay? Think about these things. These is what you're working for. You're not working to make money so you can buy a Lamborghini. You're working to make money and you're thinking outside of the box and you're becoming your best version of yourself so all the people around you will always be okay no matter what happens. It is your job as a man to suffer. And we did our job fantastically, absolutely and utterly as we should. We always will. And we always will. And everybody around us was okay. And that is extremely comforting in times of hardship because we're built for suffering. We were absolutely and utterly built for suffering. No matter how close I came to crying inside of that jail cell, I knew all the people around me were safe and all the people around me could eat. And that's all I cared about. I used my phone calls when I would call other people and they were asking me how I was. I'd say, we don't want to talk about me. How are you? Are you okay? Are you okay with the media pressure? Are you okay? Are your bills paid? Do you have money? Can you eat? I'm in a jail cell in Romania. I'm making sure that everyone I love is okay. I don't need them to sit and worry about me. I worry about them. I sat in a jail cell making sure I could fix the problems for the people I love outside in the free world from a dungeon. That is what a man does. And you must prepare and set up your life for that. You must be prepared to be plucked from life. And understand that everybody around you who once relied on you will still be relying on you. Even when you sit in that jail cell, it's still up to you. You are still the man of the household. You are still the top G of your life. Only you. And if you don't pay the bills, who's going to do it? Your wife's just going to what? Go get a job? Get like five jobs and raise your kids? How's she going to do that? You must be prepared for these things. That is what you're working for. So if you wake up every day as a man and you say, I don't have motivation to become strong. I don't want to work hard and get rich. I don't want to try and become financially free. What you're saying is that the second you disappear, the second you disappear from your matrix control job, everyone who loves you and respect you and relied on you is going to starve. How can you live that way as a man? Absolutely not really unacceptable.

"Some classic TV memorabilia is going to be sold next month at auction. James comissar has quite a collection from all in the family. Welcome to the home of Archie and Edith bunker.

Who Can Stop Trump?
"Do you think the indictment of Donald Trump will deter, if not Pompeo, other people from getting in because of the rally around the former president affected his head? I think at the very least it's going to affect the timing and the trajectory of how this race moves. For the foreseeable future, like the next few months, I don't see any Republican getting traction against Donald Trump. He's got about a 30 point lead in the latest round of polls and it's largely because of a rally around the flag effect. As you say hue, that Republican voters, even those who might want to move on to a new candidate, are feeling like they want to defend Trump against this brag. Indictment. Now, I do think that if there are other indictments to come more serious cases, whether it's the case in both county, Georgia or whether it's Jack smith's case in D.C. with a special counsel at the special counsel. The legals that I always thought this was going to be governed through the primary process that this was going to be a political whether Trump was going to be the nominee was going to be strictly judged through politics. Now, because of Bragg's decision and because of these pending indictments or possible indictments down the pike, I think the legal process is really going to determine the trajectory of this race. If Trump is facing The Batman after indictment and if he could be going to jail perhaps in 2024, if their trials, that take place during the presidential campaign, we're really in unchartered territory and the legal trajectory might tell us much about the political process as the primaries themselves.

"We're doing this as like an appreciation of the voice actor. And this is not even like the Pinnacle of his voice acting, but it's like, this is a great example of the work that he's done. What did you think? But yeah, I mean, this has lethal weapon heavy nostalgia vibes because it's like, I remember watching this after Batman for it. I didn't see it after before Batman forever. I saw it afterwards. Rented after I watched. Come here, we got this new TV, and so at the house of Maya for my parents, it's like flat screen. They wouldn't know this predates. This is bowl school. It was a big TV, but it was like old school big, heavy, like massive. I saw something the other day, it was like, I don't know if people know this, but at one point in time, in the past, you could set things on top of your TV. You look on this thing, it was so heavy. Massive, it required a doily. Hundreds of pounds of a TV. But I wanted to get like a really great movie to watch for the first movie in Batman forever. It was a movie. I picked to watch. Very disappointing in that experience. But then not long after that, I did a mask of the phantasm. And so that compared to that, it was a huge upgrade. I probably only seen about maybe a third of the image series. So I didn't really watch a whole lot of it. But I really enjoyed that. A lot of episodes. Yeah. It looked great compared to Batman forever. It benefited from that. But now looking back on it, it has a nostalgia factor to it. Great voice acting like you say, you know, I mean, it's like Mark Hamill's a terrific Joker. The music is the tits. Yeah. Like each episode has its own orchestral and the multiple episodes they would carry on through there.

"They go with The Batman Bible playbook where it's like Batman does not kill people. He just burdens you with years of medical debt. Much better. Anyway, for me, this is 7. How would you rank this compared to other Batman content? It's up there. It just doesn't have I really would have liked the phantasm villain to have shown back up. I think she did some maybe even in the comic books, but they never show her again. Oh, really? Cartoons. Ever comes back into play. Yeah, never comes back. They're just like, is this a character that was only like, she didn't die. She just decided to hang it up or leave. Even if there had been a copycat and be like, oh, she's got a she had a list to kill. And she killed that list and she fucked off. Also, she didn't kill Joker because he showed back up in the next couple of seasons of Batman. So is it safe to say that this makes it the Pantheon of Batman movies only because fans really love Batman the animated series and they want to put something from Batman the animated series into the overall list. To showcase. Yes. But you can't put the entire Batman the animated series into the list of like, oh, great Batman movies. But what you can do is like, okay, this is the best movie out of that series. Therefore, this is going to make it to the list as a representative. No, listen, this is a 1000% better than Batman forever and Batman and Robin. In your mouth. It's a little hard. If you're talking about Batman theatrical releases and that's the only reason I get to hear this list brought up all the time. It's like, oh, shit. Phantasm was a theatrical release. Yes. Okay, it's better than those others. I know somewhere between Dark Knight Rises and Batman Robin. Yes. A wide spectrum. I mean, I've read several articles for it like puts this at the top.

"For this one. No, no, no, Batman. It was a burden. Tim Burton and I know, but did Brookhaven? No, I don't think so. It was the guy Peters. I can't remember his first name, but he was depicted in licorice pizza like the crazy another crazy coked out Hollywood producer. Played by Bradley Cooper in that one. I mean, he was like, dating Barbra Streisand and just Coke to the rafters. He's the guy. He's your mechanical spiders in the third act guy. That's him. He was your main producer. But this many voices from the animated series Batman, who came to theaters. Yes, John Peters. Who became iconic with their characters. So Kevin Conroy, one of them. Mark Hamill for the Joker. And I don't remember who did the voice of alphabet. It's the same guy from the animation. Very, very nice. That was, wow. Quick on the trigger. Well, I looked it up before. Oh, yeah. But yeah, I mean, a lot of these performances like Kevin Connery, like Mark Hamill, have been hailed as some of the definitive performances of these roles. Yeah, I will say back in the day before the animated series started. They were going to go with Tim Curry. And I was like, oh my God, it's the Joker fuck yes. I've since heard his audition or his first couple episodes. It ain't there. We made the correct choice. I mean, I loved him curry about it. I would not like him as a Joker. Maybe a live action Joker, but really seemed like he wasn't taking it seriously and was doing a wacky zany voice. And we're like, no, no, no. We just need Tim Curry. Joker. So this film depicts a Batman grappling with the fantasm who's a mysterious new villain who's targeting the mobsters and Gotham. Meanwhile, Bruce Wayne meets up with an old flame, Amanda Beaumont is voiced by Dana delany, who's Andrea. Andrea, Andrea Andrea. Andrea. I knew a girl in college who went by Andreas. First time I never encountered that pronunciation of that name. I'm going to blame this one. It's not Lauren. It's lauryn lauryn. Shut up. Exactly. So Bruce had once proposed to her, but then she disappeared and never to return, which I guess the movie depicts or implies that that led one of the things that led him to become Batman. Yeah, he wasn't going to be The Batman. Yeah. So basically it turned him to the life of, you know, I want to say vigilante, like crime fighting. That's what vigilanteism is. Yeah. Yeah. And that's a debate from the podcast, but over time, Batman's investigation leads him to the Joker and that ultimate leads him to the search for the phantasm. It's true identity, which brings him to a difficult conclusion, which is also a big twist in the plot. So for the twist, so I'm curious to hear what you guys think, travie. Here we go. Jesus. Here we go. So I'm gonna black out for 45 minutes. Every time I see this though, I'm always like, oh, this has been marked as one of the best Batman movies. And I keep watching it and I'm like, it's okay. It's not bad. I knew I wanted to watch something for Kevin Conroy's passing. To remark on it, at least. He's an excellent voice actor. So it was Mark Hamill. They both did great in this. Surely walker has done all of the music for The Batman animated series. Fucking kills it kills it in this as well.

"There has to be something that sets it apart. And there just wasn't. Pattinson wasn't that bad. He was all right, I guess. But yeah, there was no, there was no standout moments for me cast in wise, there was no one I thought that was. Caught women it was all just meh. It was just a bag of meh. And some people love it. And let them, you know, they're not, if they love it, they've obviously found things that speak to them. As a big Batman and D.C. fan, like I've always said, I'm more D.C. than marvel, not like the toxic fan boy shit, but I relate more to the D.C. stuff. I do like the darker grittier stuff. But. After every movie that D.C. puts out lately, I think wonder women the original Wonder Woman may be with Gal Gadot. That could have been the saving grace that could have been the pivotal moment. And pissed it away again. They can not get the universe. To be even on par with marvel, fuck, beat and marvel, just fucking get it to the same quality. You've got all these TV shows that you just keep thrashing out until all good ideas of God and it just turns to shit. Consolidate your universe of the TV shows tie in with the movies, like marvel. Let them see that your copy in them. I mean, realistically, if you go back to the comments, everything is a copy in some shape or form, you've got characters that are basically the same. They just look a little bit different, they've got different names. Just get your shit together. Really is all that I can say. Stop getting these people that are just like, oh my God, I'm gonna make a freaking Batman movie. Like I think that movie definitely needed the studio to step in. And if the studio did step in, there may be step out. But yeah, it was just, like I said, it just felt like someone put it together. Just because, like, if you're gonna do Batman, do Batman. 'cause even the end in of it. Like, if you go back to Nolan's trilogy, and you've got the call in cards and obviously turn it over and it's a Joker. You're like, oh, my fucking God. The end of this, you're just like, at stop reusing the same fucking villains. Like how many times have we seen fucking penguin? Cat women. You know, you don't need, you don't need three villains in a movie. You don't need three main villains, anime. Like obviously Tim Barton's Batman had Joker. Batman Returns, obviously then you ramp up a little bit. You have two main villains. Can't women in penguin, although cat women is not technically a villain per se, she obviously she straddles the line. But you don't need just have one main and don't even play all your cards. You know, keep some behind for the fucking Like, you know, the falcone thing was so obvious. And John Turturro love him did not like him as falcone or falcone, however you want to pronounce it. It just felt like, I don't know, it felt like the movie dragged and then it kind of raced to tie everything up at the end. And then flooding the city. You breached the sea wall and the fucking city floods. So if you are planning on a sequel, what's the worst that's going to happen now? I think the only other thing you can do is nuke the place. I think this is a trouble you get these very ambitious people that don't pace it right. And the trying to cram as much in as they can. We are a more sensible play would be hold back the main villain. Like, look at Batman Begins. You thought you knew who ra's Al Ghul or Rachel Ghul was? And then it fucks with you. And then it fucks with you again, because you're like, was that the real? Or was that just another decoy? You know that? That held its and granted obviously by mom again, so you did have because you had the scarecrow bit scarecrow wasn't really a main villain. Scarecrow is just like a sort of say that, which is fine. But there's out of all of the villains within the D.C. universe. And you just keep using the same ones. Like, initially I thought calendar man might have been in The Batman. Because when it mentioned Halloween, and I thought, oh, could this tie in with long Halloween somehow? And there'll be a bit there. But I think the timeline of the movie is it all takes place over the course of a week. It felt like a fucking week watch, and but like, there's so many characters. We haven't really seen apart from in Suicide Squad. We haven't really seen killer croc. Clayface. A fucking on screen well done clay face would be fucking amazing. Obviously, it seems like the last and about plays naive and not apologies and her, but again, she could be done really well. There's the femme fatale. It seamlessly easy. We're going for the low hanging fruit. Because the thing is, you could argue it's like a gun for the recognizable things. Things that are dragged people to the cinema. Batman should be recognizable on his own. The villains in it should be a bonus. But then take that and look at the detective division aspect of it. Pretty much only people that played the games would appreciate that because that's the only other time we've sort of seen it done like that. And as we all know, not everybody loves video games, a lot of people especially the movie lovers hate video games. They don't like it interactive movies, which is bizarre to me because I'm kind of think that they go hand in hand. But, you know, so you can't even see all they did that for familiarity because a lot of people would never have realized that and obviously there's only so far in the comics and stuff that you can you can portray something like that. It obviously plays differently when it's live in front of your eyes. But yeah, people are probably not going to like my opinion on the movie and that's fine. You know, if we all had the same opinion then it would be pretty fucking bored in. But you know, as much as I do love Batman, I'm not.

"Welcome to the triumphs got some podcasts. This is a bonus episode, just a quick chat, stroke rant about The Batman, the latest movie. I didn't like it. I'm not going to be about the bush. I did not like it. It wasn't terrible. It wasn't brilliant. It just, I don't know. I feel like it just didn't need to be. Very much like my thoughts on the Joker movie. It just didn't need to happen. I did nothing of value. The one thing I did enjoy was that, well, actually another two things I enjoyed. One, they didn't rehash Thomas and Martha getting killed again. Like they seemed to have to do in every single Batman movie. And the sort of detective vision, like in the game, but kind of made a bit more, I guess, down to earth a little bit. Although I hate seeing people touch in their eyes, like I can't see people put contact lenses and stuff like that. So to see that shit, I wasn't a fan. But I like the way that the integrated the detective division kind of thing. But yeah, the story just, it didn't need that there was nothing new. I didn't like the riddler. That just was such a pointless. Like that actually made me love Jim Carrey's riddler even more. Yeah, I just, I struggled with it. And I kept watching it. We in for something that would grab me because normally, stuff like that, stuff that I really love. I get goosebumps. And I got goosebumps at the music at the start. And then I realized it was Nirvana. And I realized that's why I got goosebumps. Because of more like nostalgia. But like the score, other Batman movies, the typically the score grabs you, like Danny Elfman, Hans Zimmer, there's just something that messes with you physically. Like, you know, when it starts ramping up, I can feel just thinking about it, especially Dark Knight Rises, which not many people have a lot of good things to say about it. I loved it. But like the score when it surges and it, I can feel my heart kind of beaten faster, it seems to be faster because my body is being dragged into this. And there was none of that. There was no feeling. I felt like half hour day and I felt like I'd watched the whole thing because it just felt that long the piece and of it was just painfully slow. The fight seems where there are some are pretty cool. Like the bet in the subway or the train station, whatever it is, that was pretty cool. But it just wasn't long enough. And at one point I did because there's this, there's this guy who looks like he's meant to be getting initiated into the gang. Because my Phoebe was like half his face is painted the other half is and that sets him out from the others because I think he hasn't been fully inducted into the crew yet. And what was meant to take place in the train station was going to get him the other half of his face. But I thought, oh, could this be Jason Todd? Could this be. Something that might pan out? And then that's that. Nothing. Andy Serkis is Alfred. No, I love on the circus. I wasn't a big fan of Michael Keane as well, Alfred mind. Because Alfred is meant to Alfred isn't meant to be like this cockney gazer. He's meant to be a fucking sort of, I don't know. I know he's a butler. So his life is of servitude. But he's meant to be posh. I mean, the best depiction of Alfred, I think, is in Batman the animated series. I loved Michael gough, but he didn't have a master. But yeah, it was just the cast and just didn't make sense. Jim Gordon sounded more like Batman than Batman. With a husky voice. The Batmobile was shit. Penguin, you didn't need Kuala farro. And again, I'm a big fan of Colin Farrell's work for the most part, but you didn't need him for that role. I don't think he already did anything to it. It was mainly makeup. The lanes and everything I feel could have been delivered by anybody. You know, you could have had Nolan north who did the voices in the Arkham games. In that gear. I can't remember the guy's name, but the one that played Nixon. In the Watchmen. He could have been penguin. Anybody could have played that. Yeah, just it just felt pointless. It's almost three hours long. No need. If it was three hours of quality storytelling and it brought something new, like the end, I won't get too much into that, but the end just pissed me off. The final scene in arc. The whole thing about Martha haven't been admitted into our commit some point in our life. That felt like it was trying to allude to I think as the earth to Martha becomes the Joker, Bruce dies, Thomas becomes Batman. And Martha becomes a joke or something like that. It just felt like it was trying to make some kind of connection. They are you didn't really get to witness much of Bruce Wayne, being a Playboy or any of that. Yeah, just I can't think of any moment that stood out and I was like, wow, that was that was amazing. It didn't even need to be about my movie. That could have just been a movie on corruption. That could have been like the American fucking duty or something like that. There was nothing really apart from using names from the series and obviously the appearance of Batman. That story. I think this is the thing, a Batman story has to be something that could only be told in The Batman universe. It can only be told in the DC Universe..

"But I mean, I remember hearing people gasp when they saw it like that black sports car looking Batmobile, which was bulletproof and armored and could spin completely around. On a dime, so I do remember that. That was also a cool reveal, but it was very different. This Batmobile felt like it was like an old school Dodge challenge. Yes. I got that vibe too. Got a little challenger vibe. Yeah. Sports car, but more like heavy duty. It reminded me of a hellcat challenger. It was a muscle car for sure. It was a Charles Bronson sports car. Yeah. Yeah. It was great. It was so cool. It's just the sound of it was amazing. I think that made it worth going to see in theaters. And rock up your pills and all that. Yeah. I love that. Oh, fuck, you're so cool. Yeah. And the scene of him chasing the penguin was just it went on for too long, but I think it was it. Again, like I said, if I was that director, I would want to show off my Batmobile. Yeah. That's sort of like a trademark of Batman, right? So if you're going to make a Batman movie, you've got to show off your Batmobile. No matter how dark it is, he has to have cool shit. And I appreciated that he rode around on his motorcycle most of the time because it's more practical and it's more sleuthing and he can kind of like be incognito. Even if he has a fucking cape. Yeah. It's like the bat pod in The Dark Knight trilogy where it's like he can maneuver and disappear easier. So it fits the character a little more than driving at that point like a car or the size of a small house. It definitely this movie had more of like a small scale hero like vigilante vibe. Yeah. Then it was like, you know, Batman. It was like, he wasn't allowed to operate within the law. I obviously, there were some things where he was getting brought in the crime scenes, and he was being allowed to see things. But it was because he was being specifically called out by the Joker. To The Batman, all those riddler, yeah. And so but you saw a lot of cops be like, why is this fucking guy? Yeah, that was fun. Not one to let him through. Yeah. Yeah, but then you learn later. It's like they may be on the payroll or whatever. They may not want their own apparel. Yeah. What do you think about John Turturro as carmine falcone? The crime box. So it's kind of funny because I just watched rounders, one of the movies we're going to do for the next couple of weeks. He was in there at knish. I thought he was good. He wasn't really like, he was a big part of the movie. He was kind of like an ominous guy in the background. Travis obviously would have a lot more thoughts about falcone..

"Here. I don't know. I mean, I don't like ranking all The Batman. Yeah. It's tough. It's like ranking the bonds. After you had so many. Because they exist in such different universes with such different directors and with such different time periods. I think each of these Batman except for the George Clooney one fit well with their time periods and they were appropriate for when they were. And I would love to see Clooney now as the Frank Miller like the older Batman. Yeah, with the right script, I think it'd be great. Yeah. He doesn't have the size for it, the Frank Miller Batman is like bulky. He's huge. Guinness Meg white. Honestly, I think Ben Affleck for all the flack he gets. I think he's a good he'd be a good Batman for that role. For all the bat flack. I left it on the table for real. Thank you. Yeah, I thought he was good. The movies sucked. I thought he was a good choice. I agree. No. I loved how they showed him as a big physical Batman who could. I mean, the fight scenes in Batman because Superman where he is whipping up on people who are well known. And it's the big difference because everyone wants to draw comparisons to bat flack and this one. And it's like, you can't really compare Batman in year two to Batman and you're like 30. Yeah. Like Batman and you're 30 has some took. He's got like he knows the easy way to do things where he's not going to get shot a million times like he knows how long those bruises take to recover. He's the point guard, the veteran point guard that's just like far away shooting threes and not going in for the dunk. But he also has the ethical shortcuts too. Sometimes he's dealt with the frustration. That this Batman may not know yet. And so sometimes he may want to go the fast way to resolve it..

"Different launch table. And I don't know, from my perspective, it was almost a little too dark. It was almost a little too exhausting. And I think that's what kind of takes away that last point or two. And it's like, in my review, it's like to me this was almost like a study of how miserable it is to be Batman. How awful that burden must be. Yeah, I think your review said it really well. It just made you feel like being Batman just fucking sucks. And I remember Jerry Seinfeld had a bit about you've got to, I think it was about James Bond where it's like, you know, he's talking about James Bond. You got the supermodels, you got the fucking badass sports car. You got a license to do whatever the fuck you want. I just said that. Why not smile every now and then? You know, it's like I think that about Batman. It's like, you got this. You're a superhero. You've got the bulletproof sports car. You got the utility belt and the cape. It's like, why not be in a better mood every now and then? Jerry Seinfeld is also a Superman. So he doesn't really have much perspective on being anything other than all powerful God. He definitely team can't. Scenario. Superman has nothing to do with this. Yes. Yeah. Well, and that's a point that this director has made is that this Batman is not going to appear in any larger DC Universe films. Which probably frees him up to truly make him as dark as possible. Yeah. But yeah, it's like, I don't know. I was waiting for a little more fun in it. And I know that the movies don't have an obligation to be fun. They don't have an obligation to be good to see the Bruce Wayne Playboy. Yes. Which I thought Christian bail even did well. I thought he was a great Bruce Wayne. Of I own this hotel now. That kind of thing. It's like, he brought that kind of swagger to those three movies. I thought he kind of the idiot Playboy. He played that part really well. He did the alter ego well. The movies had a lot of fun with that. I even think Michael Keaton did a great job. I think Michael Kean was great on both sides. As Bruce Wayne and Batman. But even those movies had that kind of fun kind of humor that is very, very in short supply. And I think if we do get a sequel of this Batman, I do want to see him grow into the Bruce Wayne role. And see a little bit more of how that kind of fleshes out because the way that this movie portrays Bruce Wayne is very much as a reclusive billionaire. Yeah. And you don't see a lot of Bruce Wayne. And I appreciate that for this movie and the way they told the story. But I think you can't tell another story without addressing that Bruce Wayne eventually has to come out. He has to maintain that facade. If he wants to be Batman. Otherwise, you start to realize that someone's going to start asking questions. Yeah. No, I agree. Where would you put Pattinson in the hierarchy of batmans? In the hierarchy of Batman, you know, so there's always the conversation of Batman actors are either a good Bruce Wayne or a good Batman. And I think he was a great Batman..

"This is as close to an R as you can get without going over the top. Definitely not a kids movie. No, it is definitely not. My character was like, oh, can I take my 13 year old son? And I was like. I mean, maybe? Yes. I don't know. That's tough. How mature is your 13 year old? That's the main thing. Like, yeah. Yikes. I mean, because if you're thinking like, if you go back to life and Joel Schumacher Batman, those are almost safe for all ages. Yeah. There's almost no real violence in those. I think you could show those to kindergartner and be fine. The Michael Keaton Batman, those are probably a little more hard PG. The Batman. Yeah. It's like you might be middle school to be safe from that. Those are pretty darpa. Christopher Nolan is definitely PG-13. Christopher Nolan's definitely PG-13. But his are definitely like a Christopher Nolan PG-13, where it's like, it's heavy. It's just dark and kind of dense, but this is like, this is some stark content. It's violent. It's very frightening. Messes with you. Fronting the psychological way, even. Beyond the line. I like 7. You kind of leave it feeling like you take a piece with it when you leave. Yeah. And it was like without giving anything away. I summarized this, I think, talking to you guys where it's like the ending is the movie is very bleak and it ends on a note that's slightly less bleak. Yeah, yeah. So take with that what you will. I remember Roger Ebert reviewing the movie 8 mile Eminem and he was saying like, over the course of the movie, it's such a bleak movie in Eminem is such an in such a bad place in that movie. And the best thing you can take away at the ending is that he's in a little bit less of a bad place. You know, that's kind of I thought about that watching this where it's like this is such a dark, dehumanizing experience. I mean, it really is a mirror image of the Joker with Joaquin Phoenix where it's like it's such a grim film. And then at the end of it, it's a little bit less grim. And it's like, you know, for superhero movie, it's like, is that what we look for in our superhero movies? It's like, you look for triumph or you look for like, no, it's not quite so bad. Well, and in The Batman mythology is always that Gotham is a very dark city. Yeah. And it's always going to need The Batman, but at the same time, it's dark because it has The Batman. Yeah. So I think there's a lot of that of the city imprinting on him, him and printing on the city. You can't really escape that relationship and a lot of comics and TV shows really whenever he has to deal with other heroes. You kind of lose that piece of him that you see his relationship to the city and you see what he is as just a stand-alone character. But yeah, I think this movie did a really good job of talking about his relationship with the city, the darkness within it, the darkness of himself. And I don't think it dwelled on his mental health..

"I am vengeance. Basically. Yeah, we didn't get a lot of, I mean, we got a lot of emo Batman. And I think my go to is he put the goth back in Gotham. We got a lot of dark and brooding Bruce Wayne. And I think this movie got the perfect balance of Bruce Wayne to Batman for what this movie was. It was like 85% Batman 15% Bruce Wayne. Yes. And I think that's the perfect amount. I think for where his character was and where the story was telling, I wanted to see Batman. I didn't want to see Bruce Wayne. And we got to see detective Batman basically. It was great. Yeah. I think that's something that's been missing from a lot of The Batman movies that have existed over the last couple of decades. Even though Nolan version. Yeah. I mean, even the Nolan version was like, it was an action movie. It was an action movie that had Batman in it. Yeah. This was Batman the character was comic book Batman. He was a detective. He was seeing things that other people weren't seeing. But then he was also being a bulletproof badass walking through hallways. Yeah. I thought it was really good. It was a good balance of that for sure of the iconic thing that made you see it in the trailer so I'm telling you to give anything away, but when he catches up to the penguin and it's like you see him in slow motion getting out like what the framed by the burning wreckage, yeah, and it's slow motion. It's like, that's a great shot. Yeah. And that's a good action shot of Batman, and that's an iconic. I think they'll be one of the iconic images of the movie. But I did love the detective side of that where he is like Law & Order Batman. Sherlock Holmes Batman. Reading the scene and figuring out the mystery behind it all. I did enjoy that. How quickly he could solve the riddler's riddles faster than a layperson could, because he's just so sharp still on top of it. Which is classic Batman. The riddler is a Batman villain for a reason, is because Batman is really good at solving. Not puzzles, but mysteries. Yeah. So I think they did a good job of doing the riddler as well. I'm not going to get into too many spoilers. But I think the villains in this were really good. Zoë Kravitz. It was awesome as catwoman. I think she was tremendous on screen. Well cast, yeah. Really well cast really well directed. The penguin with Colin Farrell unrecognizable is Colin Farrell..

This guy that's probably stronger. Debatable, stronger, not stronger than Superman, crazy feats, you know, planet destroying dude. Universe is even at this point. And now Batman gotta stop this man. That is so starving, not wait with, all right. I mean, what if it's a crossover? He's growing. Are you portraying him as the good guy, the bad guy? 'cause if you're talking about Goku stopping them, look, back again at the topic with Superman stopping him. So that is true bound for costume, man. Yo bro, cool. That is true. What's Goku sees you? Oh, you're doing push ups? Oh, I'm gonna fight you. What I saw Matthew song right now. He's like, hey, does your hair grow too? Batman? Oh, no? I still met us. It was saying, well, you're pass on the suit. That's no shit like that. I'm going to start in the regular floor and doing our carbon martial arts and stuff going, and then you're going to be like, okay, no, I'll kick it up one now, you know, I just got a hottie. It's a little bit a little juice. Oh. Batman's gonna throw some batteries. And he's like, what is this? Oh, that's what it does. I can do that too. It definitely pale but I'm here, he'll play on him. He'll be like, that's it. No, because he do scatter power level. He's like, can we make you stronger to fight me? What? Can it's just get the dragon balls. Let's make you saying perfect. Oh, man. Great to see you. You see, Bruce Wayne, okay, I mean, if you want me there. I won't say no, but the 6000 headache, pick them up. I think it's at that point if you give that man that Google establish no chance. I mean, if you're making a direct saying, exactly. Zero chance. I agree with you because he's smarter to him. So Goku was so cool. He does Marcy's can't be. Exactly. But he's not smarter. And if you get this man, put that money in the little chamber and stuff doing them think let him sit there and think about it. Then think for an hour dude ain't this man's gonna plan your whole boy. He's gonna plan your own new social security. But he goes, he gonna plan a generational genocide though. He's gonna kill you and guess what? And then he's gonna kill you. You don't care about that. He's gonna beat you, give you a sense of being beat you again. Wow, that's crazy, but Batman he's the same just hands down other than I was telling nobody. Batman is the best, he's just the best. And the fact that he's a human, like no superpowers, and people are like, oh, it's like a superpower. Which is true. That is a superpower. You got smart. You can think of stuff on the fly. I need a flame grenade. It has everything bro, especially if you've given some kinds of planet dude. He stopped the most powerful as Venice and all of D.C.. He's doomsday with like just tell him I'm not gonna blow your planet. Yeah? He just like backed up bleeding about a diamond kill me, guess what? It's over for you, bro. Mom said, you kill me. Say you switched your dad. I can literally just tell Alexa Alexa Alexa kills him. Oh. Batman is automated system. He doesn't have a computer too. I mean, like a Jarvis, like a drawer or like, I'm not coming to y'all I'm not going to do your own sister. He will party sell some stuff like that. I'm like, so just make some money. This man sticks his finger in everything, bro, went into my dreams. Oh my that's crazy. I said, doomsday. Yeah, those are easy doozy. I just say don't say. I don't know why I said doomsday. What do you mean? What do you mean? I talk about dude who found apocalypse, parasite. I thought about it. Why did I say doomsday? I didn't think of it. I said doomsday. Yeah, he knows. I just phrased that or completely wrong. Dark side. Though kryptonian not only does it know you know. Not a good. So why Robin? Are Robin? Why did he name him Robin? I don't know. No, no. I never thought about that. Like, speaking like, comic words are just like why he named the Robin? I have no idea we need him in the room. One last swallow. He'd be able to Dick's water. Eagle. He swooped out. They probably tried that out and he got Batman and Batman. It's like, yeah, Robin. No, I straight up don't really do not know why though. You know, I really love you though. I think one of the main reasons when an author or one of the writers or artists, I think was the name Robin. That's why I think so. Not fully. I don't fully remember that one. No, I really don't. I don't really get the whole Robin thing behind Batman. I really never did. I aside from wings are flying. It's just another feature another bird, I guess you could say. But it doesn't make no sense. A bird's a bird, and they don't afraid. I don't think people would phrase that bad as a bird. There's a flying creature. It's exactly the same thing. People rephrase that as a freaking rapper wing. She should have named them pigeons. Sanitation. That one really works. You get to send in the eyes rubbing. Yes. Just do it. But look like, and it sucks 'cause like wobble is a clear sidekick. But so it was a background. So how she get back then, I get robbing. They want to get back in my name. Any minute they got to shoot a bad boy. Bad boy. Yeah, actually true. Why didn't they just do that? But I just didn't even think about that one. They just woman bad about that woman. That girl. But why not like that boy? But they did do a crystal O'Donnell and Batman and Robin when he drove up to the people with face paint on their face and they were like, oh, it's Batman is Batman. Man, that's bad boy, man. It went straight to the point. Not only playlist. I mean, you also got Alicia's fox's son. He became more of a bat wing. Oh, he did. I forgot about that. That was his pet, bro. It was. Robin wasn't bad. He didn't want to put you some undies. And that's why they have the most basically saddest backstories all the Robbins. Oh, yeah. Was it the red hood who got a crowbar? That was sad. Of course, though. And blown up. I could see why he turned into that. Want to shoot people. You know, I can feel the same way, you know? Front of The Batman, telling him, you can't be robbing anymore. You know? Because he wanted to protect them 'cause he saw him as a real son. And I was going through a lot. All right, well, aside from The Batman talk, we do have to wrap it up. David do you have any deals? You want to say to a lovely people listen to us? Oh, no. Thank you guys again for tuning in to episode three. You know, we part Batman to life on this episode and he's one of he is my favorite character of all time superhero and yeah, that's really it.

So I did a little away and that removable mask Robin is worth like a shit ton of money nowadays right in that little one of course, right? That's the way it always goes, but I ended up getting a replacement and and this one had a mask actually painted on it like later. They made a version where the masks didn't come off as I guess kids were losing him and parents were complaining or something and but then they would also make they made like the Joker and they made Catwoman and penguin and Riddler and then a bunch of other characters like Green Arrow and and wage is Wonder Woman and Batgirl and things like that.
