And we are back. We just had Helog 15 minutes of
technical difficulties. That's crazy.
Hey, man, it's go ahead. Sorry.
No, no, you can go ahead. I was waiting, man.
It's the first episode, man. We, you know, we're back.
We're back from our break rested, refreshed, ready to hit
it for another year. Yeah, and I guess that I am not
really accustomed to this anymore.
I've been enjoying not editing these videos.
Time to get back in that whole groove of thing.
But we're going to start off this episode the way we start
off every episode talking about these text messages.
I'm just kidding, though. We can save that for the
Patreon. But text messages?
Yeah. But but yes, let's let's see how
you have been these past couple of weeks there.
I haven't seen you DeMarcus. So how you been?
I've been good man. Shoot the last time we had an
episode sometime in like December.
Yeah, it was over a month ago. Right, right.
So now you know, I we've got the got the apartment like, you
know, set up a little bit more. We got, we got a new bedroom set
for the bedroom, like new mattress.
So we got like a king size bed. Now, you know, there's been like
making like little upgrades to the apartment as we go amount to
the TV in the living room. What size?
The one I the one I already had in my old place, I think it was
like 65 inch. Yeah, put up, put up like a
curtain rod somewhere. Got some, got some like outdoor
furniture? Outdoor fun.
Oh yeah, yeah, I live in little condo thing.
Yeah, like a little little school of patio furniture should
be like the one. The one room that's not already
put together is like the dining room.
But we've been talking about, like, hosting some friends for
like, the Super Bowl. So we need to get the rest of
that shit together. You watch football?
I will, well I much rather go to a game then watch it on TV but
the Super Bowl is like a big event so.
OK, So what else? How is it like living with a
girl? It's been actually pretty good
like living together has not has been pretty chill man.
Trying to think anything stands out, like there are some things
that Shawna does that. Annoy you?
Yeah, yeah, that annoy me. But like, it's things that she
was already doing and like, I don't mind picking up the slack,
so. OK.
Do you think that you can? Elaborate.
No, not really elaborate, but you know, live with it.
Yeah. Oh yeah, absolutely.
And like the things that I can't like when it comes to like house
stuff, I feel like we, it's super easy to talk about it.
You know, let me think because like one thing was like, I got a
cast iron pan and watched it a couple of times.
But if you watch it and like leave it sitting on the counter
or something while it's still wet, it'll like put like a, a
ring on the counter. So, you know, it's like, Hey,
look, you know, be mindful of this.
I you use, I personally use like food bags, like I use a
different trash bag for like all of my organic stuff.
So like bones, vegetables, you know, pieces of pieces of like
food that we don't eat. I usually like a organic food
bag for that because I don't like to put it in the trash
'cause they're like just attract Nats stuff.
So, you know, letting her. Composting or.
No, like, you see, I think what got me in a habit, though, is
when I lived in Seattle and I had to compost.
So like, yeah. And see how like, composting is
the law. So I just got into the heavy and
I realized what in Seattle, composting is the law you have.
To you. Have to compost.
I mean, I don't fucking know. They want to save the planet,
bro. I don't fucking know.
That's. Crazy.
How do they make you compost? Like what are you throwing?
So. So you're literally helping
local farmers and are you getting anything out of it?
Do they give you free food? No, absolutely not.
So. So why are you come?
Why do they make you compost? They're not giving you anything
in Seattle. I don't know.
I don't know.
Composting is the law in Seattle, like recycling is the
law in other states. Like you don't.
I don't. I don't know how they enforce
this, but it is the law, alright.
I would like to see what you get out of there 'cause that seems
very one sided to me if you have to ask.
Yeah, yeah. I mean, you know, you're not
wrong. Let's say.
Yeah. So.
Yeah. And so I did.
This is like little things and like, like me like one of her
things is like, like, oh, can you like, like she does laundry
like every week. And I'm like, or, you know, she
doesn't, she doesn't do like, I wait till the laundry like fills
up and then I do it and I, yeah, a few loads that day because
it's laundry day. But she's like, you know, she's
like, yo, all of our stuff is she's like, yo, all these
clothes are dirty. Like look at these piles of
laundry. And I was like, I'm not going
to. And you know, in my head, I was
like, I ain't trying to do laundry on the Wednesday night
after I just had work. Cool.
And I just got home at like 10:00.
It's not the which is not the ask, to be fair.
It's just like, can we do laundry like a little more
often? But yeah, I feel you on that
'cause I have 3 hampers. Like if you just have clothes
lying around there are dirty do that laundry DeMarcus.
But I have 3 hampers and I don't do laundry until all three of
them mother suckers are full. So it's, it's like like months
before I do laundry 'cause I have to fill each one of those
hampers. So they're like, I got a black
clothes laundry, a white clothes laundry, a colored laundry and
like my towels and everything. No, I, I have my quick laundry,
which I do more often, which is like my, my nightshirts, my
underwear and stuff like that. But I.
Do not break your black clothes from the rest of your colored
clothes. My black.
And my white. Clothes.
I mean, well, white clothes of course, but.
You don't separate your blacks. It's like I do.
I do dark colors and light colors.
No divine 'cause I separate my blacks get outs Have your own
little nausea. Sometimes I put like a little
coffee in there so that they can be even more black.
Oh, Mom, learning some things. Coffee in your laundry, y'all?
Yeah, in your black laundry. You know, to make it black.
So how's work? You've been back for a couple of
weeks now, everybody excited to see you.
Yeah, work is good. We're we're like sponsoring A
capstone project for the University of Washington.
So like when I was in grad school, I had to do a capstone
as like my final project before I got to graduate.
And oftentimes students are partnering with like industry,
like with different companies or industry partners so that they
can get sort of like some more on job experience type of deal.
So and like ever since I. Thank you so much because having
your head just floating at the bottom of the screen looked
crazy. So ever since I started, I have
been like pushing to get like a caps on project, like approved
and like each year I've done it, people have been like interested
in it. No one's ever been like, Oh no,
we're not, we don't want to do that.
But I think the, the harder part was like, oh, like we're
actually trying to get, you know, like trying to get an
actual project for the students to work on.
So this year we got a project, we got it approved.
We just started meeting with that team Thursday.
The students, the students, Yep, the students.
It's taking my lunch hour on Thursdays.
But I'm just have to learn how to deal with that.
That's how I fought for it this whole time.
Elsa, you don't get a lunch anymore.
I mean, on Thursdays, yeah, like that is my lunch hour and then
but you know, the, the, the other side of that is like now I
can leave early on Thursdays 'cause I'm working through
lunch. OK with me, I have been also
been doing a lot of media watching.
Of course I've been applying for these jobs still.
I've been seeing your posts on LinkedIn.
You'd be, Yeah, Look at it. I'll be sounding what?
Irritated. Yeah, yeah.
Can you look into the camera? Like like what were you looking
at? I got my dual screen action
going on here. OK, you switch him.
I guess Jared. 'Cause you're like looking out
to the side and I am talking I'm like what is going on, 'cause I
have dual screens too, but I make sure that I am looking here
and then the viewers. OK Anyways, yeah, yeah, I do be
heated on my leaked in. Well, we got a lot of traction,
so I got you can get a lot. Of comments and likes and see
like people be interacting with. Your yeah, yeah, sorry, no, go
ahead do. You think that's going to like,
help you get a job? I don't know what's going to
help me do. It makes me feel better that
that people are actually, you know, responding to me that
they're having a little bit of the same problems going on.
But I got post scheduled up for the next two weeks.
Oh shit. And, and yeah, I'm very like,
stuff happens every day. Like like I just got a rejection
notice this morning at 1:58 AM from the place I'm like, and in,
in the e-mail, they're like, we carefully consider your resume
and we just want to make sure that you are a valued.
I'm like, no, you did not carefully consider my resume at
1:45 AM on a Saturday. Or Sunday morning, right?
Who scheduled what AI wrote sent out this e-mail.
Exactly so the day before. The day before fucking day.
It's and it's an OK weekend. So I'm like, you're doing all
this, you're lying to me in my e-mail and you're saying that
you can't reconsider. But it comes out Sunday morning
like no. So yes, that was a scheduled
post. I, I had a post that did really
good on there and it was like I, you know, I have 4 interviews
they did on Christmas Eve. This place sends me a rejection
e-mail saying the same things like we carefully consider your
e-mail and then when I sent them that e-mail like what are you
talking about? How can you carefully consider
my e-mail? Then they looked at my LinkedIn
to see who is this person emailing us.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
So the first time you look at my link theory to see who I was,
was when I started complaining or your or your e-mail to you.
So that. Crazy.
Exactly, that had to be a whole post.
So like, like, it feels good to get those frustrations out,
right? I mean, I think it's pretty
double. It would be that you're like
calling out these like unsavory practices.
Exactly. But I see some of the, I see, I
also see some of the comments on your stuff and maybe like, it
would be like, oh, like, you know what you're going through?
Like it's not really like that. Here's, you know, here's some
more insight to the background or whatever.
And I'm like anybody asked they anybody asked for that?
Exactly. They be playing like a whole
bunch of ads on my post. They be sending me a lot of DMS
like you can sign up for this, you can pay this and I have a
special day like I'm broke. I'm not.
Gonna pay to I. I don't have a job exactly.
To find a. Job.
What are we doing? Exactly.
So like everything, it's frustrating.
So but writing those Linkedins, a lot of people on LinkedIn have
really been supportive of me and what I'm going to.
They have, you know, been licking me to a lot of posts
that are looking at jobs or or that are for other people
posting jobs. Some I don't feel comfortable
doing because like 1 was a post for a sports social media
person. We would say women LED company
for women who was doing this to promote women being in sports.
I was like, that's not for me. Thank you for this, but no
because it was for women. So you can't support women in
that way or you don't want to support women in that way.
No, I don't want to take up that space.
Yeah, I don't want to take up that space because, you know,
it's for women. They had a woman on the cover to
add the whole thing on their website was pro, and it's pro
pro black women too. And you know.
Sounds like a space that you be already be in, Jared you you you
know you want the most pro pro women pro black women.
I person people I've ever met. Yeah, but I and I, I'm not gonna
take up this space cause especially me.
I mean, I've been in athletics and sports before.
I'm not. I, I, I learned was thief's
office and defense met that year.
So these women broadcasters or social media people are
something better, much better than me.
So I'm not even gonna, you know, take up those space.
Take that space. That's admirable, Jerry.
And I don't know if I would feel the same way.
I would be like, yo, I don't, I need a fucking job.
I don't care. Yeah, something else I might do
over this break is I have started the campaign, the Matt
Major's Dungeon, and I am the DM on this campaign.
Yeah, I remember we talked about this.
How's it going? It's going great.
We've had about 3 sessions so far, and if you remember, this
is the campaign we talked about a long, long time ago with
Laurante. If you remember one of our 20
questions, would you rather top or bottom for your dragon?
This is the campaign where that came from.
Yeah, I remember it. I remember it.
So the. You know, man, Major's dungeon.
But I would like to. Yeah, it's a long campaign.
Like I think that the dungeon level that we're in is 33 rooms.
They've only gone into 7 and we've had.
It's just that that floor of the dungeon.
Yeah, just that floor. We've had three sessions so far
so, but there are a lot of things like I think that we were
doing it kind of quicker and like I think that once we get to
know each other in later half, you are really tired.
Man, yeah, so I went to that, went to that.
I went to an anime party last night.
It was probably out there till like 3:00 AM.
OK, well, I think the way we get to later floors at the dungeon,
it'll be better for us. But but yeah, in the beginning,
like I'm trying to incorporate their back stories and they just
went to sleep for the first time too, so.
Yeah, they had three sessions and they had their first long
rest. Yep, their first long rest.
And that's how I ended the last session.
But another thing that I did was I powered them up a whole bunch
at the beginning, 'cause you know, I don't like 'cause they
start at level 5, you know, I like level 10 and up, 20 and 15
campaigns. So I powered them up because I
like to be powered up. They are blowing through the
enemies. Oh, and I gave them the extra D6
on their stats after they had put a road to do their stats
after they have put in all their extras like from their classes
and backgrounds. Yeah yeah, all their bonuses.
I didn't get them extra D sets. So they are really powerful.
They're they're not no joke. OK, but is.
It is it, is it, is it, I guess are they still having fun or is
it does it still too easy? Are you getting that sense from
them? They are telling me that it's
fun. I don't feel that it is.
I feel like I could be more fine, but they are telling me
that it's fine. Yeah.
But I'm of course looking for days like my whole Tiktok is
ways that that I can liven it up.
As I said, I just got to incorporate somebody's back
story when somebody else went to sleep.
And yeah. So yeah, yeah, we could have.
Speaking of campaigns, I've also been doing the Daggerheart
campaign and we also just had our third session on last
Thursday. OK.
Yeah, and it's been dope. I've been enjoying it.
I like the, I like the how how it's not so turn based.
It's not like, alright, you go, you go, you go.
It's more like free flowing, which is a double edged sword
because in certain situations everyone's like, you know, you
know, in such situations folks are like jumping in, like, you
know, you get your different personalities at a table and
then like some people that they're like, alright, cool.
I'm always jumping in to do stuff.
And other folks are just like, oh, I'm just kind of like
hanging out watching what folds. And I know something that I
always try to do as I try to balance like role play in
combat, because it's because it's a role-playing game.
Like I don't want every session to be like, OK, we just coming
in going to beat up a bunch of shit and move on.
And I'm like, no, like sometimes you got like talk to people, you
got to talk to each other, You got to like figure out the right
questions to ask. And so I just did like the first
like role play encounter where you know, you couldn't, it
wasn't, it wasn't like you're going to die, but you could
potentially not progress the story through this role play
encounter if you're not asking the right questions or if you're
or you know, if you don't succeed basically.
And so it was more based on the stress mechanic rather than like
their actual HP and stuff. Yeah, and one of mine.
Oh, go ahead. One last Part 1, I think I felt
like one of the one of the players in my table like wasn't
feeling it a whole lot. And he's just, he's definitely
like a player like fair where he's like, I just want to come
in and fight shit. Like I don't want to like I'm
not really involved in like all this planning and talking.
And who is this guy? Why are we doing that?
Like I'm here to I'm here to cast spells and beat people up.
Yeah, I play with Neil. Dad Heart, our next PlayStation
is next week. Yeah, it is fun.
It is fun. And I'm just excited to see, you
know, where that can go. But yeah, in other news.
Yep. Kind of let me play some music
right quick. I've also been doing a lot of
work on my my business. Oh, hear about that later.
Mama Mama, I have been watching One Piece as of late and I have
completed the what's it called with with with Mama.
Whole Cake Island. The whole cake island are I love
her. I Mama Mama, Mama, I love mom
yes, big mom Lindland. She is so amazing.
Mama Mama. That's like my latest thing that
I'm going to say on this podcast, Mama.
Mama. She is amazing.
So I do you have some notes? Not a lot of notes.
You froze dude, where'd you go? I'm sorry, guys, We just had
some technical difficulties not to turn around like that.
Yeah, we just had some technical difficulties, but I'm just
talking about Big Mom. I was just going to read the
notes that I had on the wino art, which I'm on by the way.
You're on the wano. Already.
Oh yeah I've been watching this stuff non-stop.
Child OK already on Wano and I am up to three episodes ago Mr.
Luffy did 5th gear. Oh damn you almost at the end of
Wano. Yeah, I have like 12 episodes to
go. Nice, So what do you think of 50
gear? It is the most not you put your
big butt in our faces. Oh, there is a lot of dirty
clothes. That's those aren't dirty.
No, those aren't dirty. Those are like jackets and
stuff. I was about to say, no wonder.
No wonder she, like, clean these clothes, child.
But yeah, what do I think about Deer Five?
That is the most Luffy thing. Yeah.
So. So really he's like Bugs Bunny
and the whole world just reacts to him.
Yeah, like it's almost like he can't be hurt in that form.
Like even though he'd be getting hit and stuff, it's just like he
brushes it off and like, bounces back and I'm like, I, I, I
really like it. I do think it's the most Luffy
thing that we've seen. Yeah, it is the most Luffy
thing. Like I was wondering how is
Luffy's power going to evolve and then for it to evolve like
this is the most Luffy thing. Yeah.
And this is like this kind of like when I saw it, I was just
like, huh, I was like, this doesn't feel like just rubber
anymore. Yeah, yeah, it doesn't.
Alright, so let's talk about are we recording?
Yeah, we are recording. We are.
Alright, cool. Alright, so let's talk about my
notes. Not a lot of notes and this is
from episode 800, so you could tell how long I've been watching
this. So Luffy is not going to eat
Luffy. That was when Luffy and Sanji
were going at it and Luffy, well, Sanji beat up Luffy,
knocked his tooth out and said I'm not going to eat until you
come back. When, when, when we started
learning about the about Luffy's, I mean Sandy's back
story. About Sandy's family stuff,
yeah. Yeah, the.
Ugly little brother? I guess the what?
The ugly little brother. Yeah, yeah, The brother who
wasn't really cool, exactly. And everybody said that Whole
Cake Island was going to redeem Sanji.
It did. I I still don't like him.
I still think that Bond Clay would have been a better
candidate to be on the the what's that called the boat?
Straw eggs fire ship. Yeah, yeah.
But but yeah, Luffy said he was going to eat and that changed
quickly. Next one, They are really coming
up with this whole plan only for it not to work in the end.
What plan? What plan?
This way I was to like, ruin Big Mom's party.
They're like party, Yes, yes. They're like, you're going to do
this and you're going to do this and you sneak in and do this.
And it it was, it was like 2 episodes of that plan, only for
the next episode Luffy just rush in.
And what's the plan for Luffy? Right.
Why do we rehearse? Why do we rehearse?
And a movie for you, 'cause I don't think there's a note on
this. Planning for Luffy is the best
thing for them to do because that's what they did Eduardo
when they were trying to infiltrate the island.
Law was like no. So I know where we have came up
with this plan with Kunitsu. I think that's it.
But actually, Luffy and Kid are going in and they're gonna act
with fools. So we gotta rearrange this whole
plan. Now it's something different.
Yeah, yeah, at least lawless, realistic.
He's like, look, all these lady plans, these two fools ain't
gonna follow that shit. Why?
OK and we OK my next note is we are finally back at right when
what story I'm after so long Ryuma he is the person that
Zorro got his sword from. He fought Ryuma's body at the
Thriller Bark. Oh, OK, OK.
Yeah, and I'm like, do we know how long Thriller Bark is?
Smile Fruit is crazy. Smile food is crazy.
You do you get a devil fruit power or you go insane.
Yeah, or you go insane and you can only express yourself with
laughter. What is what you?
Know when they first talk start talking about I was like, oh,
that's not terrible. But then like as they start
getting into, I'm like, oh, that's kind of, that's kind of.
Yeah, once old boy died, I was like, OK, this is this is sad.
And all you can do was laugh about it.
Yeah, yeah, that was, that was sad.
Let's see, are we really going to have 15 episodes of the back
story of Odin? And I was like, OK, I, I, I
don't want to sit for 15 episodes on Odin's back story,
but I but I was watching 'cause it did say it was filler, 'cause
I am skipping filler now. Skipped our little Yeah, I
skipped Shanks and his daughter, his daughter's feeler.
So I was like, OK, I need to get back to this story.
It's getting good. Otis back story is pretty good.
It is yes. It went from Oded Wano, white
beard, Goldie Rogers. It told a lot about the Lord.
So I was like, Oh, well, let me sit here and and and pay
attention to Odin. And my next one is, oh, this
older story is sad. It was really sad.
Exactly. Yeah, yeah.
I I I hate how he died. Me too.
My my my next bullet point is Odin.
Wouldn't be Odin if Odin wasn't boiled, yeah.
And that was boiling, but they put them in boiling oil didn't.
They they put them in boiling oil.
Yeah, which is different, a little different from being
boiled, but he was deep fried, but.
That's not funny. Yeah, besides Bond Clay, Big Mom
is the best character in anime, period.
You think no. Mama, Mama.
Yes, she is. Yeah.
Mama, Mama, she's funny. She's evil.
She. She is kind of children.
She's just like me. She has a great saying, like, I
love Big Mom. She is.
And like, so she just died or was thrown into molted lava
underneath the Earth's crust thanks to law.
So I was like, I guess no more Big Mom, but Big Mom was
everything. How do you hate Big Mom?
I like, I like Big Mom. I, I, I enjoyed her as a
villain. I don't think she's the best
character, but she's cool. She was, she's definitely like a
a convincing and I feel like an adequate foil for the heroes
'cause she like when Big Mom hit the scene, you know she's gonna
fuck. Yeah, yeah.
It ain't like is, is is is worlds away from like, Buggy
showing up and you like, oh, man, no one's gonna know this
person even exists. Yeah, Big Mom is like, oh, I
got, I got plans and I make shit happen.
Yeah, yeah. And my last one is what is fifth
year. But yeah, this new arc, as I
said, I'm like about 12-15 more episodes until the end of the
one new arc and we're gonna talk about the upcoming One Piece
things today for 2026. But I am super D duper excited
to just be in this world to experience more of Wano.
I know we're going to talk about our winter 2025 in the next
week. So today I finally 'cause I
haven't been watching anything which 2025, but I finally 2026,
right? But I finally downloaded my
shows and I was going to incorporate those into my One
Piece viewing today. OK, no, I started some stuff
from from this season's anime and I'm, you know, it's, it's,
it's looking good. I'm excited.
Can we talk about that next week?
Is there anything else? You did mention an anime party
before our technical difficulties.
Yeah, so I went to me and Sean. I went to an anime party last
night. You know, of course we
cosplayed. We were Ring Goku and Mitsuri
from Demon Slayer, so that was fun.
There were like at least two or three other ring Goku's there,
you know? Let me look him up.
Ring Goku. Set your heart ablaze.
Oh God. Yeah, but yeah, like everybody
who I ran into, it was like, man, you should have lived, bro.
You should have. They they killed you way too
early. And I'm like, yeah, like Rin
Goku should have, you know, he he he deserved more.
And we got like some bracelets like there, like there was this
girl there who's like, oh, like my, you know, my friend, a
different person came up there was like, Hey, you know, my
friend has candy and she really likes Demon Slayer.
And I'm like candy. I'm like, does she mean drugs?
And then, but we went over there and she had like, like these
candy bracelets or any basically just like, or whatever that she
made. And some of them were Demon
Slayer themed. But I didn't notice that.
I thought she, I thought they were saying drugs.
No, no, no, no. I thought the the girl was
saying like, oh, you guys can like have a bracelet because you
have the Slayer cosplay on and my friend like demon Slayer.
But what she was saying is like, my friend has demon Slayer
themed bracelets. You can have one.
And so there was like a bracelet that said ring Goku that Shawna
picked out. But I was just like grabbed the
first bracelet that was on this girl's wrist.
So I didn't even like take the time to like check my.
Alright, DeMarcus, so today is a big episode.
So no game today. You can save that for your Mama.
But but but today really talk about all the top upcoming
things. Oh, wait, hold on, hold on.
I'm missing a whole part of this of our show.
They'll put you on segments. They'll put you on segment.
How could? You, Jared.
I don't know. DeMarcus, can you please because
I have been running down Put You On segments over this break,
There are some things I want to talk about, but DeMarcus, can
you please before I forget, I tell them about the sponsor of
the Put You On segment for the fourth year in a row.
Is it the fourth year in a row we didn't?
How about we? Didn't.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, for the. 3rd year, third year in a row.
Can you tell, can you tell them about our big friends over there
at Movie Pass? Absolutely.
Movie Pass is a subscription based service that allows users
to watch multiple movies in theaters for a monthly fee.
It was designed to make movie going more affordable,
accessible and by offering plans that enable subscribers to see a
certain number of movies per month, even up to like an
unlimited number of movies. And so the way it works is that
you will get your MasterCard, your MoviePass card, which is a
MasterCard as just like a debit card, credit card, well, debit
card, not credit card, which, and it covers the cost of your
movie tickets. So you can when you go to the
movies, you can unlock your car through your MoviePass app and
pay with that as opposed to paying with your, you know, your
earn your own own hard on money. Think of it like an HSA for
movies like you prepaid at the you know you put you put money
aside each month and you get your movie tickets.
Yeah, DeMarcus, is there anything that you want to put
them on to that you watch over the break?
Oh absolutely, I watched a lot of stuff on the break.
But what? Yeah, I want to put them on to a
lot of stuff too. What stands out and I'm not
going to use them all. I'm going to like, you know,
sprinkle these throughout throughout the episodes.
But the one that comes to mind first is a movie called
Greenland and what and what the movie is about.
Have you seen the Jared? No, I heard about the sequel
though. Yeah, so sequel is coming out
like this year or this month or something.
But Greenland is about like there's a world.
It was like a World War or something like that, like or
like a disease or something. I think it's disease.
TJ Stukes is here, our friend from three days.
Yeah, Yeah. OK.
Brother, but like, anyway, there's some some kind of
worldwide event where they have to like evacuate people.
And so like they're trying to get there, trying to be like,
oh, no, there's a meteor falling to the Earth.
Like a meteor is falling on Earth.
And so it's going to like destroy a lot of the world.
And people are trying to, you know, people trying to escape,
like they're trying to get to these like bunkers or whatever.
And the government's, the world governments have gotten together
and been like, all right, we have several bunkers across the
world. We're choosing people who are,
who have the skills for us to rebuild, rebuild the world after
this like cataclysm, after these meteors fall and destroy
everything we have on the surface.
So this one family gets chosen to go to a bunker, but you know,
a lot of other people are not being chosen.
So they are having to make their way from their home to an
airport to like a military base so that they can get on a plane
to fly to the the the safety bunker.
But like along the way, all this shit start happening.
Like one of them gets gets denied at the gate.
One somebody gets kidnapped, you know, like somebody turns,
somebody starts killing people. It's it is, it is a wild ride
and it is a really good movie. Like I didn't, I thought it was
going to be like one of those like, oh, this is the movie to
watch during dinner. And you know, it was amazing.
Like for a movie I just like saw on 'cause I like saw it on.
Like I get a lot of I get a lot of like movie clips and show
clips on Instagram. And I'm like, oh, OK, this seems
to interesting. I go watch it.
So like if you if I see like the the right clip of the show or or
movie, I'll be like, OK, I want to go watch that.
But yeah. And I think the.
I think the clip that I saw that made me want to watch this one
is like they're like when they first like get the news of their
that they were chosen, they start trying to like drive away
and like their neighbors, like one of their neighbors, like
jumping in front of their car, like look, take my daughter,
just take my baby. Like I know you can't take all
of us say my baby. And they like, you know, like I
can't, I can't like it's only my family.
They're going to turn your daughter away at the door.
I can't take them. And so they like have to like
drive. They like end up having like
drive around one of their neighbors.
It's like, I was like, oh, that's heartbreaking.
I got to see what else is going on here.
And it was it. It did not disappoint.
Yeah, yeah. I I want to put artists on just
some of the gay stuff that I have been watching.
Alright, alright, you have gay. Fans.
But anybody can watch this guy, so.
It's not exclusively for gay people.
I'm glad to hear you say that, Jerry, 'cause I I.
Feel like I usually get a lot of Flack from you when I when I
engage in gay in in gay culture. Oh, no, no, you.
Try to appropriate gay culture. It's not terrible, right?
Nothing Well. You sit.
Back on your balcony and you point down at gay people and you
laugh at them. So in all your homophobia, one
thing I want to put them on to is heated robbery.
You probably heard about this on HBO.
It has been everywhere. So yeah, Heated Robbery is about
these hockey players who are rivals and their love fair
overseas episodes. It is another thing and it's,
you know, the discourse of gay people, black gay people, is
that, you know, why are they, there's so many white gay shows
or shows that feature white people and there's zero to 9
black gay stuff to show the different viewpoints of, you
know, gayness. But it's a pretty good show.
It, it, it, it, it, it says a good story.
It was written by a woman. So I think that some of the
explicit scenes, the sex scenes are not very accurate.
But why not? Can you say a little bit more
about why they aren't? Accurate is.
Do you think that has to do with the the the women's perspective?
Yes it does. In the book it wasn't accurate.
On TV show when they had other people involved, it was more
true to form. But but I do think that some of
the conversations were really. Real.
But anyway, it's a. Fantasy anyway, so nothing much.
It's a good shot. It's a good shot.
OK, your rivalry. Alright, I might check it out.
The other show I want to put you.
On It's a It's time to show us a movie.
It features Alexander Skarsgard. I think that's the one.
He was from True Blood. I I need the character.
Was he in True Blood? Ciao, he was.
Eric. Eric Northman, the vampire.
That's what I thought. That's what I thought 'cause I
was. Like scars guard.
I was like, it's only one dude in that show that looks like he
was a scars guard. Yeah, he was also in.
Murder bots, Big Little lies. He played another rich person in
succession. He's in a lot of stuff.
OK, but yeah, Alexander Scars guard plays this very and I
didn't know he was that cute. They must have buffed him up or
did something. But he was probably no, not
really 'cause this whole movie was really weird.
But he plays this very attractive gay person.
And it was like, are are these gay people or are these members
of the KKK? Because they are like, like,
they dress like Nazis. They act like Nazis, but they
are having gay sex left and right.
So it shows. That sounds accurate.
That sounds like it. Reflects real life.
How? Because a lot of the.
Thinking about like our political climate a lot of the
people who are very against, you know outwardly very outspoken
against sexuality are crashing grinder whenever they get it get
together. Yeah, yeah, that's true.
But they they. Think we're very out.
They they were very out. They would be like day in public
and OK like one thing that they once seen that they did was OK,
let me go back. They were the I don't even know.
How to explain this? They were.
Like the doms in the relationship but like Dom and
sub is one of bedroom type thing.
But they were Dom and Subs over their whole life.
So they were Doms. Then they had these Subs who
they treated really, really poorly.
And this reminds me of like a real sex episode from the 90s
with these people in these dynamics.
But they treated them really poorly.
And it was just how this sub found Alexander and he was
slowly over time. Trying to fall in.
Love with him and and but I was like, no, I'm not no, we don't
have to have a relationship. You sleep on the floor.
I'll sleep on in the bed and you can get my groceries in the
morning do all these chores. And one time it was his birthday
and I and his phone was ringing while they were saying why?
His mom who was dying of cancer, was like, don't answer your
phone on your birthday for him. And then she was like, OK, well,
you can have to answer your phone.
He means that much. You why don't you bring him
over? So he brings him over.
His mom dying mother of cancer and this guy having an argument
because she's like, I don't like how you're talking to my son.
And I didn't either. Like I like, I didn't like this
movie, but I couldn't stop watching.
So I was like, it's called pillion.
Oh. OK, OK, OK.
OK, I missed that part. Yeah, it's, it's a, a 24.
Movie, which was another reason I was watching it but yeah, it
was it was very weird like they went to this campsite and the
the cells had to do everything and then while the guys were
like smoking beer or whatever they had to await their fate.
I'll just say by leaning over on some some, some tables, it was
very. Weird, I didn't.
Like it I, I, I, but I couldn't stop watching 'cause I was like,
is this guy going to make it in the end?
Swallow alert. He does not.
Yeah, if this is a real lifestyle, it's very weird and
everybody involved needs to get some help in therapy.
So, yeah, I mean, you know, I think that people who.
Are wholeheartedly exploring their kinks.
I don't think there's nothing wrong with that.
Exploring your kinks is fine, but he had.
Other things to deal with like after.
His mom died. He just fell into a depression.
He was crying and the guy was like, no, why are you crying
with me? Doesn't make any sense.
Like he had no support and he was reaching out for to get like
this affection from one person, but it wasn't working.
And he and he had friends like he was part of his singing
truth, but he wasn't reaching out to his friends.
He was only reached out to him. So it was very destructive in
both ways. I've read how.
I've read I've read some articles online about how like
folks who get into kink like they like in specifically like
these Dom sub dynamics or you know, anything or and other
things where like they go through something like really
big in their life, like a big injury or like a or, you know,
or like a death that's close to them.
But like being in this king sort of like let's them turn your
brain off and get away from it. Do you think like something like
that? What's kind of going on here?
After. His mom died.
I think his brain turned. On 'cause he started to break
the rules that David said it's like he he slept in his bed when
he wasn't invited. He stole his motorcycle.
So and and that was like that second one don't even sound
like. Breaking the rules?
You're just a thief. Well, well.
And his motorcycle. Was a big part of who he was so
yeah him stealing the motorcycle was was pretty big so he had not
exactly a good movie but I couldn't stop watching it I I I
wasn't even touching my phone my business on so OK those are the
best movies like when you. Get like when you don't even
like look at your phone and you like at the edge of your seat.
I was it. I was, I was looking at like.
Like, like, how much longer do I have to sit through this 'cause
I can't turn it off like you? You couldn't wait for it to be
over? Yeah, I couldn't.
Wait for it to be over like I just had.
To know what happened next, you didn't want to leave exactly.
OK. Now finally an hour into the
show we are going to talk about. So the most anticipated video
games, TV shows, anime and movies coming in 2026.
Let's start with video games. The number one most anticipated
video game of 2026, Grand Theft Auto 6 by Rockstar.
That's been like the most anticipated game for the last
like 5. Years, I mean, because.
Grand Theft Auto 5 is so. Big and and everybody knew that
Grand Theft like they were working on Grand Theft Auto 6,
but there was no release date except for last year when there
were two or three. Now there was a definitive
release date. I really do think it's coming
down this November. How do you know it's definitive?
What makes this release date different?
From the others, Rockstar has always for Grand Theft.
Auto had a a they they had to push it back.
They had to push it back. Miss release dates and they have
never gone over 3 release dates that they had to push back.
So this is the third I, I, I think that Grand Theft Auto is
coming out this year. Basically I think that they have
completed play testing. They are showing it to children
that are dying of cancer. I do not think that Grand Theft
Auto 6 Online is going to be completed, but I do think that
Grand Theft Auto 6 is going to be completed and I'm going to
get this game regardless. So OK, OK, I didn't.
You didn't. Really strike me as a Grand
Theft Auto player, but OK, I go. Yeah, I played them all.
Well, I played 345 and six. I remember the first Grand Theft
Auto game I played was like. On Game Boy.
Why is that funny? DeMarcus, that's just like you.
Playing Elden. Ring.
On your. Last Gen.
Xbox. Device instrument, I think the
great, but the the Grand Theft Auto.
Game the the first one that I played that was on Game Boy,
like it came out on Game Boy. It was a Game Boy.
It was a Game Boy game. No, the markets.
Are you looking that up to see if I mean, I know that there was
one on Grand Theft Auto Advance and it was on Game Boy?
Advance Yeah, I just about to say I know there.
Was one on Game Boy, but you playing it on Game Boy is the
first one is crazy. Yeah.
And then like. Vice City or something on
PlayStation, Yeah. You didn't complete it though,
no. I did not.
The next one we're. Gonna talk about is Wolverine.
This the game in the Spider Man universe with Insomniac,
according to leaks that came out a year ago.
This is also going to feature Jean Grey.
I'm in the game as well. I'm very bloody, very violent,
very, very hardcore take on Wolverine as we welcome mutants
into the MCU and we'll talk about that later.
But yeah, Wolverine, how do you feel about Wolverine coming out?
I'm definitely going to get this as well.
I like I. Like Wolverine as a character, I
do not know how I feel about character based.
Games. Like, 'cause even like, like
Spider Man's, the Spider Man games are usually pretty good,
but I've played like Batman games.
I've played like other stuff that's like, oh, like you're
playing this character and moving through a storyline, you
know, with this character. And I don't, I don't, they're
not always good. Sometimes they are.
Sometimes I'm just like, I'm kind of bored now, but yeah, I,
I'm interested if it comes, you know, whenever it hits Game
Pass, I'll, I'll check it out. The Spider Man games were all.
Very good. Insomniac has of course a great
history with Ratchet and Clank with Spyro, so they are
extremely good at making these games.
I am extremely. I'm interested with what they're
going to do with this. I will be picking it up.
Let's Scroll down. Another one is Fable.
It's being released today, the next iteration of Fable today.
It's not being released today, it's being released.
And sometime hopefully in 2026. We received a couple of trailers
last year and the announcement trailer 2 years ago.
And so now we're just writing on a definitive release date.
This last trailer shows some interesting things with Fable.
I'm very excited. I love fable.
Fable was like one of the first. Games I got on Xbox and it was
like transformational for me like it, it changed.
It changed how I like what I what I wanted to do in games and
I really got into like this. I really got into like the games
where like my decisions had an effect on the game world.
A lot of. White people are interested in
this new game. Called mix tape.
I'm not interested in it at all. It's just a lot of white people
in the game doing white people stuff.
They are listening to white people music and they are loving
their white people lives. A lot of white people are
interested in. It is not seen like a game that
black people would be interested in.
I am not interested in mix tape, AKA the white people game.
Mix tape, yeah. There is another.
Game coming out next year called Pragmatas being compared to like
those games, I can remember what they're called.
You know those games that came out on PlayStation, it was like
this guy having to climb up these big Titans.
Shadow of the Colossus. Shadow of the Colossus and.
Those. Type of games.
I was about this grown adult who befriends this little child who
is also a Android. It's being compared to Mega Man
because it is not only a little child that's an Android, it's
also from Capcom. So people are compared to the
Mega Man. And what's that one called
Pragmata? Another game.
I'm not really interested in but I am excited to see what
happens. Control Resonant.
If you have you ever played Control?
Control told the story. Of somebody who was let into a a
company at I should have liked this game.
It was a female. She was strong, she could fly.
She has psychic powers. I just did not like this game.
I didn't like this game. This tells the story of the
brother who she was looking for, who was released from this
business, who was on the streets of Manhattan.
I thinking that I would like this game more because it's more
open world, but I don't know that the last one, I wasn't
really feeling good. I was not really feeling that
last one. Control, OK, But yeah, people
love control. People love it.
I don't feel like, I feel like I haven't heard of this game.
You haven't heard of Control? I'm looking it up.
Now, yeah. People Really.
Oh. I have seen this.
I haven't played it and she can like move things with her.
Mind or something? Yeah.
All. Right.
Yeah, invisible verses. Is coming out.
This is the game Invisible Verses.
Yeah, this is the. Fighting game for PlayStation.
Five, unless we see an Xbox X that that two people from the
Invincible universe are going to be fighting against each other.
They are also reducing some new characters.
You're going to, you know, like back story on all these
background characters, but in this regards, it looks very
interesting. I will play it at somebody
house, aren't they? I'm going to buy it.
Yeah, I, I mean, I'm interested in Invincible versus you heard
about it before now. No, I didn't hear.
About it, but you know, I I it seems interesting.
I I think invincible. I don't know, man, like I feel
like fighting games are are something sometimes get kind of
shallow and it's and I and I want.
And sometimes I want more from it.
Like, if I play a really good fighting game, it's like, oh, I
wish there was like something else in this game besides just
fighting. Yeah, no.
Fighting game can live up to that DC fighting game that was
like Superman killed the Joker and then he started to take
justice the world. Yeah.
Injustice that day, that story, that comic book or the best
thing that that happened that year.
I don't know, did you ever play Jump Force?
Jump Force is a good one. Too.
Mostly because of, like, all the characters that you had that
you're able to, you know, you have access to, you get to play
with all your favorite anime characters and just beat people
up. Oh yeah, Sorrows is.
Another game that's coming out on April the 30th.
Here's a little blurb about it. It's yeah, SAROS is said to be a
bit more approachable than it's tough as nails predecessor
Eternal. You'll be able to permanently
upgrade your equipment between runs, and you will use the
second chance ability to revive yourself after death.
So it's got to be like a roguelike adventure where dying
is going to be a part of the gameplay.
I don't really like games like that, like Eldon Rain.
What's that? What's the one that came out
last year that was a sequel? Hades 2.
I don't really like games where you're supposed to die to get
stronger. This was like a a how high?
Look at you died again. And I think there's a diff, I
think. There's a way to do it to make
it good. Yeah, I think 1, I think a lot
of games are like, oh, dying is part of it.
As in like you're gonna die a lot versus like dying's a part
of it. And like, if you die here, it
changes the story or changes something in the game.
Yeah. It was I.
Think and I think the latter is like the better version of this.
Yeah, so lost it. Too is coming out this year.
So last two as you know was Bard escape before Bard Escape and
now the 2 is coming out in a post Bard Escape Three World has
renewed emphasis on some cinematic storytelling and a top
tier voice cast to back it up. That's supposed to be coming out
in 2026, the release date. They have that for early access
now. I'm a part of this discord
group. I have been waiting on this
game. I played the demo that came out
last year. I am extremely excited for
Saloster 2 to come out. Have you heard of this guy?
Saloster 2. I have not.
You know, I don't hear about a lot of games.
I feel like I'm not as into the game, the game stuff that I used
to be like. The when I was.
Most on top of games and like what's coming out was back in
like the E 3 days and like what do you what was that show they
had attack of the show X Games, X Games.
Oh yeah, attack of the. Show X Games, yeah, but see they
don't do that kind of stuff no more.
They do not last, but not. Least is a show.
I'm not a show, but a game that's coming out.
Vampire Crawlers if you Have you played Vampire Survivors yet?
Yes, I've played a lot. Of Vampire Survivors.
Oh, so you like it? I do.
I do I'm. I'm almost at the point where I
figured out how to like last like 31 minutes.
I'm like like I'm at right now. I'm just trying to like unlock
all the things another. Recommendation from me sometime
in 2026 Vampire Crawlers will come out the Vampire Survivor
spin off. It's going to doubt that the
intensity of the original events.
Scrappy the frenetic experience for a more casual friendly turn
based deck builder with rogue like elements.
It says that with throwback that you call her status and all
those of daily combat to exploit.
This is shaped up to be another one more run experience that'll
keep you up well past your bedtime.
So it is going to be a vampire survivors but in a card based
thing. They said that the Vegas like
OK, you have one term. Do you have something that could
do? You know, you have a little
thing, that's one thing. And if you played that you could
do day that has two, you play that you could do a day that has
three later you could do day that's one.
So you can really keep playing until you, you know, you could
keep playing forever without getting hit.
But that's the thing to have a deck that lets you play like
that. OK, OK.
But that's what they say. There's been no demo or anything
out yet so. All right.
And that's it for. Anticipated new video games All
right, now let's talk about some of the anticipated new anime
that's coming out now. Really, we're going to talk
about new anime that we are watching for the Winter 2026
next week, so I'm not going to go too deep into that, but I
want you to talk about some sort of coming out for beyond Winter
2026. The first one is which hats
Atelier. This is something that I
suppose, yeah, already, but Buck Films actually delayed the
production of it. What it is is about the massive
Then She Magic Academy series is sentenced about a young girl who
wants nothing to do more than to master magic.
When she accidentally learns the secret of the art from a Disney
witch, she becomes his apprentice and discovers much
more about this fantastical world she's joined.
The trailer was amazing. I have actually heard about this
a lot from people in the know that read this manga.
They said it's exceptional, something to look forward to.
OK, OK. Which hat 1 again?
Which hat? Atelier, which hat?
Yes, another one that's coming out in 2000. 26 is they're
taking it back to the year 2000 with Ghost in the Shell.
Ghost in the Shell follows a high tech Cyborg named Motoko
who tracks down a hacker targeting cyborgs like herself.
Yeah, this may be the smash hit of 2026.
Did you watch Ghost in the Shell when you were younger?
I did. I did.
I watched a lot of Ghost in the Shell.
When it was like airing on Cartoon Network, but it was, it
was always confusing. Yeah.
Like, I so I like it, but it's just like, I don't know what the
fuck's going on. Like I don't understand the
enemy who's, you know, No, I just don't understand.
Yeah. So it's coming.
Back so you have time to catch up.
Disney Plus is also bringing back the fidal fidal installment
of Bleach 1000 Year War. This is supposed to be the
guarantee I'm not coming back no more.
This is the end of the epic bleach tie tie up series.
It's going to be beautiful, brutal and one of the most
talked about anime in these in years.
But it's Bleach thousand year blood war.
The calamity have you seen destroyed.
This travel was awesome. I have not but.
I will check it out. Yeah, you definitely gotta see
that's. Right there.
OK, that is all now. Well, I got a couple that I'm
looking forward to. With story of wands Ford Season
2 is coming coming out. Yeah, yeah.
I think I've seen I'm seeing a. April release date.
I'm excited for that. Feel like I watched the
beginning after the end before but I can't remember what it was
about. Well, I love the beginning of
the end of manga. I definitely remember that one.
It was a isakai about somebody coming into a fantastic world as
a child. I know.
That the manga. Was really good because they get
to arguing him with his father about how he was actually a
grown man sucking on his wife's titties.
So it's going to get good. OK, OK.
Yeah, I think that those are like the big ones.
I. Want to call out OK in.
March, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure to steal Ball Bride comes out.
This is something that I'm interested in seeing.
I have not delved into Jojo's Bizarre Adventure ever since I
started watching One Piece, but I am looking to get back into it
once I'm caught up with One Piece.
And Speaking of One Piece, One Piece season 22, the L Bath arc,
will be coming out in April. Yeah, this is going to be a
significant reduction visa fee than what we're used to because
they are reducing the number of episodes per year.
I'm not I'm not too keen on, but it's no longer an ongoing anime
it. Is now AC?
Yeah. Anime?
Yeah, do what you want to. But that's gonna come out in
April also when April is RE0. Sorry.
Like for another world. I'm that excited.
You're not? No.
Nothing show no that. Was my show.
But you know these last couple seasons they have not shown
Subaru being depressed. Subaru has not died more than
two times in his last season. I'm just not excited at.
All. Oh.
Golden Conway is ending is going into his final, final season.
If you've ever watched that what I have.
Now go ahead, Golden Conway is about.
The it's like like historic, historic Japan.
And there's this guy who they're trying to find a map to this
gold, to this gold that this person hid in the group is like
this soldier who like deserted the army, but it's like super
strong. The, there's the, the man's
daughter who's like one of the native people of the, of Japan
and like the Akainu, I think they're called.
Yeah. And like they're sort of they're
the maps are on people's skin and they, and so they, what
happened is like the man who hid the gold was eventually captured
and went to jail. And so he tattooed the, the
pieces of the map onto people's bodies.
And so you have to like find the people who he's tattooed the,
the, the map point. And it's like, it's a bunch of
parts. I think it's like 2020,
somewhere between 20 and 40 parts or something like that.
And so like, they're like trying to track down these criminals
and skin them so they can like, have the map and put it
together. Golden Cavalry.
Yep, golden commonly. Yep, commonly.
OK, so I. Haven't seen that, but what I
have seen is Black Clover, which is coming back sometime this
year. Of course this is the yes.
Of course, this is the second season, which was a 170 episodes
and in America was broken up as a four parts, but it and all the
way back or it finished all the way back in March 2021.
There was a little movie back in 2023 and also 2002, 1026.
There will be the remainder of the story.
I think this is going to be the final episodes because I think
that they will be caught up with the manga, which ended shortly.
OK, OK. But I'm like.
This can't be the final season because they ain't even got to
like the big enemies here but but caught.
Up with the mango makes sense. Yeah, Kaiju #8.
The final arc will be coming in 2026 sometime.
You know this one, you know, we all know Kaiju #8 we all love
it. I guess the struggle was here in
Kafka's revamped identity as a Kaiju, as motivation of the
human. This is up interesting, more
complexity despite the formulaic nature of the plot.
And that's how it was. It's too keen on how formulaic
it is. It's not a lot of battle seems
like it is in the manga and it was just kind of boring.
So I'm not really excited for it.
I will be watching it. Yeah, it was kind of boring.
I got I got Kaiju #8 merch. It's crazy.
Another enemy that's coming like
it's Kakamoto Days. Did you buy Sakamoto Days?
I did. I have.
I have watched some. Sakamoto Days.
I think I'm how many seasons of it is there?
This would be third season. This is season 2, but.
Yeah, OK. I haven't finished Season 1.
Then but I have watched it like a good bit of it.
Yeah, you got this. John Wick beats grocery store
owner. Yeah, he deals with diverse
threats. And even though he does have the
luxury of going all out because he doesn't kill, he must also
protect his family. Season 3 is looking to be
really, really interesting. And finally is the chainsaw man
assassin side. Now we both saw the the movie
Rees art, which I've just watched the Christmas break.
I didn't think it was that boring that.
Boring. Why the qualifier instead of?
Say I didn't think it was boring at all because you thought it
was boring. You know I was.
Really. I didn't think, I didn't think
it was boring like the. The the first part of that movie
was like, it was so slow. It was such a drag.
I love the first part especially.
When like, Reese first shows up and she's.
Like playing like the schoolgirl, like I'm trying to
like fall in love with Denji stuff.
I'm like bro, Get Me Out of here.
I loved it. I.
Think the reason I love. This because I love the manga so
much so I know where Reese is going to go, but a lot of people
who I talked to they. Sort of had that same
perspective. A lot of people who I talked to
who actually like, really love the movie, they were like, oh,
like, well, I read the manga, so I don't know what's going on.
And, and, you know, and I'm like, OK, I feel like I feel
like that is slightly different from loving the movie.
You love the story. Oh God.
I like the movie better than Demon Slayer, which was
horrible. Oh, absolutely not.
Absolutely so much better than than change something in in
theater. It was not I mean, well, we.
Can agree to disagree. Well, one person's right.
One person's wrong. I mean and.
We already know who's who, so me, let's move on me.
Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood creator returns with original
story about twins who controls supernatural beings known as
demons and demons of the Shadow realm.
I also saw this trailer and this looks really good.
I did not like Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood even
though I like Full Metal Alchemist, so I will give this
one a try. It's coming out in April 2026.
You know April's looking. Why did they say sorry?
April's looking to be a big. Big month for anime.
Yeah, yeah. I mean, it's going to be the
spring. So yeah, like I feel like spring
anime is usually like, it's like one of the seasons, like winter
and spring anime, like you got to be popping because like
summer and fall you can, you can, you can bullshit around a
little bit 'cause folks outside, you know what I'm saying?
Like, but yeah, winter and spring you got to, you got to
come, right? Well, why do they say the
creator of Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood?
Because isn't that the same person Full Metal got, you know,
FMAB and FMA are? It should be.
It was basically the same story
until they started going weird with it.
But it should be the same person, so I cannot answer that,
but yeah, it really should be. But yeah, let.
US move on to most. To our some movies that are
coming out in 2026. So January you were just talking
about Greenland. Greenland 2 is out K by January
the night today is the 18th by the way.
Let's see 28 years later, The bone simple.
I wasn't going to see this even though I saw 28 years later.
But then somebody reminded me that it is being directed by
Nica De Costa, who was the Black film, the Black film director
who? Did.
Candyman OK. So I think I do want to see it.
Now what? Else is coming out.
I think I saw a preview for 20. Eight days later, the bone
temple and there's like, is this guy who's like figured out
something about the, the, the disease and I guess he's going
to be trying to like, cure it. Yeah, the same person from 28
days. 28 years later, in March, I think it's when the Super
Mario Galaxy movie Trainer, I mean movie, comes out.
I'm not. I haven't decided whether or not
I want to see that. 1 Yet always in April you didn't see.
The first one I did and like the first one was nice.
It was good, you know, it was, it was, it was a fun movie to go

this movie. I'm interested in this one.

been approved by the Michael Jackson estate.
All right. Interesting.
The devil. Yeah, The Devil Wears.
Pride of two is also coming back.
We're taking it back to the year 2022 thousand and six.
This is the second show of what's her name?
Marie Presley, of course. Sorry, Anne.
Hathaway and Meryl Streep. I'm definitely interesting that
this is a gay classic. I wouldn't even watch this with
y'all. I know Ashley would always want
to watch. Would always want to watch Devil
were Devil was Friday with me. I said I don't watch that movie
with straight people. Yeah, not even the win, not even
the women. Mortal Kombat 2 is coming out in
May of this year, starring Mccad Brooks.

third season was OK. I don't know why they're doing
this. I think they that they have

little yeah bubble fit all of that stuff into one movie.
So I think they're all going to be in it.
But again, I'm not really keen on this one.
Masters of the Universe is coming out in June.
After 40 years, he man returns to the big screen.
I think I am interested in seeing this even though who is
this Alison Bree, Nicholas Galitzine, whoever that is who
who is he? He played in bottoms handsome
devil sharp at the idea of you special little teen movies and
who is Camilla Mendez? It is Elba too.
It just isn't. Out there.

I'm going to be any harms. Oh, OK, well.
Duh. So yeah.
I am going to see that I just quite I just I always remember
my gay awakening. He man saying that rippling
muscle bound man in action. That is definitely something
that I'm going to see just to remind me.
That's your type, huh? Rippling muscles.
Of course, Steven. Steelberg comes out with a film
Disclosure Day. I do want to see this one as
well. It is based on an original idea
Disclosure Day. I mean I just saw the teaser, it
is about a a day when I date aliens come and a newscaster was
doing it and something else other humans I don't know but
Disclosure Day looks good. Gonna see it is Steven Steelberg

every Christmas. So yeah, I'll go see it.
OK, another movie I'm going to see is Scary Movie 6, coming out

summer after April, it's gonna look like a movie past Summer 6.
Do we need a Scary Movie 6? So I guess, yeah, Scary.
Movies for them. So Yep, we do need a Scary Movie
6. All black comedy about horror.
I think that's gonna be amazing. Amazing.
We do need a scary movie. Why wouldn't we now, I guess.

Marlon and Sean. I think they also said that I
don't remember her name, but you saw in all the of your own
favorites from the previous scary movies.

the Girl of Tomorrow book by Tom King, which was one of my
favorite books from 2023's Giard Awards, if you can remember it.
So I will be going to the theater to see this storefall.
Supergirl. She traveled the Galaxy with
crypto. It helps a young woman who is on
a quest of revenge. I love how this starts out.
It starts out with her on a planet that has a red sign
because that's how she can get drunk.

interested in that Odyssey. I I have not even seen this

The Punisher is a Spider man, Dylan, if you remember from the
stand leader. So I never, I never knew.

coming out. You know, it's spread out
throughout the year. So it gives you time to, like,
really engage with some of this material, some of these
properties. And I advise you to, you know,
get into it, read the books, watch the movies, TV shows set.
Put it on your calendar, man. Because we back TV's back,
movies back, anime's back, and we gonna be here covering it all
all year. Black geeky energy.
So this comes out on February 4th, do you?
Want to say anything to me what comes out on?
February 4th this episode. Oh well, if.
You're watching this episode now.
We recorded it a while ago, but it's going to be airing.
It's airing today, February 4th. Happy birthday, Jared.
It is Jared's birthday. I'll probably be telling him
happy birthday in another episode closer to whenever we
record it. But you know, Hey, my man's
birthday, Happy birthday. How old are?
You I'm 31 happy birthday to me today.
Make sure you give me a great birthday present and subscribe
to our Patreon. You can find this show notes and
seek out to all of our things at the show notes and we will see
you next time. I'm black.
I didn't do that at the top. Oh man, Mama Mama.
Awful black geek energy. Bye guys.
Before we. Sign off completely I.
AM 35 and Jared is older than me BG E out.
