>> Yeah. No, I've seen I've seen enough. I had seen it once before and I then we watched it for this and then that's plenty. Yeah.
>> Yeah. There's um there's a very kind of depressing interview with Brandon Lee >> on this on set for The Crow like just like a week before he died. It's like one of the last ones and he's talking about things like you don't know how many sunsets you know left. How how many sunsets left are you going to are you going to intentionally watch in your life?
>> Yeah.
>> You know, is it maybe 50, 100? Who knows? Like, you know, it's one of these things of like really like it it's it's hard to hear, but I it's one of those things that's like really stuck with me because it was a dude who said it just before dying and I'm like, "Okay, I need to like appreciate life."
>> And so there's there's times of like movies that I have loved forever and I will continue to love >> like like A Christmas Story. I don't know why that's the first one that comes to my mind, but like you know these things that are like [laughter] >> Yes. No, Jean Shepard was apparently pretty good about that.
>> No, I'm Yeah, I'm just saying the like you you'll you'll still enjoy it even Yeah. Yeah.
>> Yeah. So, I I think about I think about things like that a lot like okay, well, how much how many more times in my life will I watch A Christmas Story?

>> Yeah.
>> Like knowing that >> I know I never need to see it again.
Yeah.
>> Yeah. Right. [laughter] Is that weird?
>> Well, I the other day was thinking like, oh, there's like a handful of, you know, like Oscar-winning famous movies that I've just never seen like The Godfather.
Never seen The Godfather. And and so I >> think it's on our list, right? I'm probably if it's not I'll put it there when I'm editing this. But um I yeah I those come up often working at the video store of like damn it I still need to watch a damn it I still need to watch that you know whatever and and but every time that I'm walking around the sale wall we all see our one copy of Dude's My Car that's been there since we bought the place. And it's like, no, I I hope no one ever walks up to buy that because if they do, I'm going to warn them. Like [laughter] just if Oh, so if you're transphobic, you'll love this.
[laughter] Actually, this is great. You'll have a good time.

>> I'll make them watch it until they can't. So they'll five minutes in. Oh boy. [laughter] >> I would be interested actually. Yeah, >> that's that's a thing. See how far See how far a trans person can get into [laughter] into doody's my car.

So, if you haven't already, subscribe on YouTube to the Film Realists >> podcast. Re ei p >> not that. Um, and also anywhere you get podcasts. I'm the derailer. It's my Batman Beyond villain name. We've switched roles. [laughter] >> I know.
>> I see why it's so much fun. I see why you do it.
>> It's great.
>> It's like you're trying to like explain something serious and be like I'm I'm getting through the information needed and I'm just over like, "Oh, what if I >> just [ __ ] that?
>> What if I said butts?
>> What if I [clears throat] said big old butts?" [laughter] >> I like that as a subtitle before we even start. Watch the show. What if I said butts? What if I said big old butts or >> Yeah, just the second part, I think.
Yeah, we'll see. We'll see. Sometimes la last time, uh, we had several good ones and then I went with >> the last one, >> subtitle number six, >> yeah, >> was the even though that was only number four. The first ones were Golden Grape Part Two, The Grapening, [laughter] I have a need, the need for breed, and what about my sister? Give me your socks. [laughter] >> You know what? Maybe podcast episode or subtitle number six was the worst one we could have chosen. But I'm still proud of you for choosing it.
>> And it's a little mysterious cuz they're like, "What were the other ones?" But then they only heard three other ones.
[laughter] >> So those other two are still out there somewhere.
>> We'll we'll we'll throw them into this episode.
>> Yeah, we did one already.
>> No, cuz what if I said >> What if I said Big Old [laughter] has to be the subtitle?
>> Oh, >> unless they come with something better.
>> It's big time.
>> Okay. When'd you get out? couple of days ago. Thought you'd be at the gate.
>> Yeah, I um >> Stop [music] sweating, McInness. You're off the hook. Life goes on.

>> Hey, ease up, Tiny. You only have that nice life because of me. You owe me for playing your part down.
>> Grow up, Charlie, for your own sake.
>> Terry.
Terry, wait up. You're right. You don't want to mess things up. You got a good thing going. You were the lucky one, and I got to face that.
Hey, I'd love to go straight, but I don't have the same choices that you do anymore. I got a record. Who's going to hire me?
Batman Beyond will return after these messages.
Batman Beyond now continues.
[snorts] >> Don't you love breathing?
>> I do, but I can't ever do it right. So, leave me alone. Stop making fun of me.
>> You know what?
>> No.
>> Only because it's Pride Month, buddy.
>> Oh, thank you. Yeah, you're laying off a little bit. Although, he's not laying off the sauce, everybody. He just finished his third full glass of whiskey.
[laughter] >> I'm sorry. I think you need to explain that. It was a pint glass.
>> Yeah, that's what they they were picturing a a >> like a high ball glass.
>> What? The beer mug. What's What's >> Oh, like a beerstein.
>> Stein. Yeah. Thank you.
>> Yeah. No, >> let's talk about the episode after this song.
>> Okay.
>> Okay.
[music] [singing] >> What you just watched, take a listen to the short summary, which is sometimes kind of long.
Now, if you would please tell me what happened in big time.
>> I will on one condition. [cough] >> Yes.
>> Oh, that was the condition. Okay.
>> Um, >> please cough directly in the microphone and then I'll tell you.
>> Terry has a friend whose name I don't quite remember. And >> Charlie Bigalow.
>> Charlie Bigalow.
>> The male jigalo.
>> The male jigalo. He goes by big time in child school gangs.
>> Yeah.
>> Um as an 18-year-old child by >> he was like the adult like he was the he was this the senior patrol leader. He was the scout master of this group.
>> He was 18 and he went by big time. Like do with that what you will listener. He goes to juvie meets or no he goes to prison. Terry went to go to prison. We went to prison, met the wrong people who were working at some, I don't know, Sarristi wanting company, bad guy company.
>> Well, it was a bad it was a bad guy chemical company, but they made fertilizer.
>> Well, I think No. So, well, [clears throat] [laughter] >> they made artificial growth hormone.
>> Yeah. Saras is intended for plants and food and whatever and then it gets it keeps getting spilled on bulldogs and people and whatever and making them big guys instead.
>> Sarah Stone, don't spill it on your bulldog. [laughter] >> I would say a subtitle except that you already had a idea for one from >> fight. Anyway, [laughter] um so we have big time Mr. Bigalow and he's basically double crossing. He he >> previous friend of Terry's double crossing modern Terry to make his way up the food chain in Neatti underworld.
>> Future Terry.
>> He gets him future handshake. That's why they shake hands with their left hands.
>> Yeah. [laughter] Yeah. You were so bothered by that.
>> I was so bothered by handed handshake.
You're like why? And I just said it's the future. [laughter] >> It was It was just like the perfect comedic timing, Jamie. It's just like why are they sh like sincerely being like why are they shaking hands left-handed? You're just like it's the future. [laughter] >> Beautiful >> beautiful moment. You did the tuber hand and we just moved on with the episode.
[laughter] Anyway, yeah. So, uh we have Mr. Bigalow making bad decisions and Terry being like, "Don't make bad decisions." And he's like, >> "Ner's about to find out that dumped on Sarah Stone as well as cracked up to me."
>> So, he gets himself chemicalized. He turns into a a wrong aspect ratioed bad guy.
>> Yes. [laughter] >> And Terry's like >> stretched horizontally.
>> Yes. Yeah. In like a keystone pattern though cuz like his right half is bigger than his left half which means you know what that means.
>> Anyway.
>> And then Terry gets him >> Terry saves the day. He goes to prison.
The end.
>> I guess they walk out awkwardly. Yeah.
Not really. I mean that that you said a lot of the same stuff multiple times and that was all that happened. So >> I didn't talk about I didn't talk about Oh god, I did so good at remembering his name the whole episode and now I've forgotten it.
>> Keros.
>> Keros.
>> Yeah, >> cuz I was trying to think of like that's got to be a call back to something Greek.
>> It's Maxi Zeus's grandson, Keros.
[laughter] >> Exactly my point. Thank you. He I always mistake him for the guy that um was like in charge of Ace the Dogs uh like fighting ring or whatever.
>> Oh no.
>> Those are the two Sarah Stone episodes.
They dress similarly. They look kind of similar facially.
>> They got a metal >> I don't know what you call [laughter] that.
>> Egyptian neck rings or whatever.
[laughter] >> I was going to say like ascot, but that's not right, is it?
>> Cleopatra's ascot. Yeah. [laughter] Oh, no. Don't say that. It's a really good subtitle.
>> Wait, you you had one for I guess that Okay, so that's that's that's your synopsis. The official synopsis. When a friend from Terry's past returns big time in quotes, he tries to stop him from making the same mistakes and going back to jail.
>> That's a fair synopsis. Also, he calls he calls Terry Titty.
>> Oh, we don't need to talk about that.
>> Titi, he calls him. Yeah.
>> Yeah. Titty.
>> Yeah. What was your You had a Yeah.
Yeah, something like that. You had a subtitle idea from the first fight because he had Wolverine palms or something like Wolverine of the palm, I believe, is what you said. [laughter] >> Wolverine of the palm.
>> And then my brain went to I know him like the front of my Wolverine.
[laughter] >> Also a great subtitle.
>> There's too many now. Subtitle number seven will be this one. So that we have six and seven back to back.
>> There we Um, and then we'll be like, "Ah, that sure was a thing that nobody cool was saying [laughter] back when we're done with the podcast and going the episode guide for the you mentioned a few times while watching it how like you said it was cinematic of an episode. It was very heavy. It was just like very the multiple scenes would end and we go like oh man or whatever with like whatever was h like the Terry and Max on the bridge talking about stuff and the clouds are moving and then there's thunder and rain and he's walking away sadly and it was like a legitimately well done fantasy kind of scene or whatever. Yeah.
>> Yeah. I I kind of want to amend what I said earlier that it was cinematic and I realized again after having finished I think finished. I I need to go online.
Um my friend just keeps handing me the last Ronin comics.
>> Oh. Uhhuh.
>> And I haven't checked to see if there's more after what I read.
>> Oh yeah.
>> But after having recently finished that, I realized that this episode [clears throat] is actually more comicbooky than it is cinematic.
>> Okay. like there was a lot of like focus pulls to like a palm in like you know taking up the whole frame like this.
>> Yeah. Well, I think I think there's a lot of crossover of of visual nature like there's um it just kind of >> cinema and comic books.
>> Yeah. I think there's like a well nowadays at least in maybe the last 20 or 30 years like there's a lot of noir influence and a lot of like I feel like when at least when I'm making a comic I am pulling a lot more from like ah here's how I would shoot this shot with a camera here's like my storyboard version of this shot and then as that's just the comic panel or whatever and I think it makes for it like a lot of a lot of pros seem to be doing that lately And it seems to it makes for a more uh followable uh visual story. I think followable uh cuz I cuz I feel like I I can watch it like a little movie or whatever instead of like I don't know.
>> I I still like you know a lot of 80s and 70s comics but they're not doing as much with um change up of camera angles. I guess there's a lot more of just like a guy a side view of him punching a guy and then a side view of them doing this and then a side view of him and the you know there's not a lot of >> I would love to hear I I would love to hear from like the listener or whomever maybe you who has more experience with comics because like that was the thing like back when I was a kid comics were very like >> almost like the '9s X-Men cartoon it was like here's your like establishing shot panel here's your other wide it was just like all these like wide angle shots of like this is what's happening and But it seems as though modern comics are a lot more like the Sin City, which I'm sure >> is just taking off of what comics were of that era. But at some point in time between like the '90s Marvel comics and Sin City, something must have changed in comics that I'm unaware of. The Sin City movie of course is basically just panel for panel from the comic, but it the comic itself is just influenced by like detective noir films and stuff like that a lot. So it's just like I don't know they they kind of feed each other I suppose. And I I guess all of that to just say that this episode had a lot of that. It just felt very like >> thought out, I guess, versus like like even just the fight scene on the the balcony or whatever at the end, every single shot had some sort of [laughter] guy.
>> Respectfully disagree. Okay.
>> The most anti-comic >> clip from the show was >> is him swinging punches at Terry. Is it >> No. [laughter] Big time taking Terry on a table and just inserting him into the ceiling and walking away.
>> [laughter] >> Yeah, that was funny though. Like it had good timing.
>> It was so funny. But that was the bit to me that felt like the least like a a comic book through the whole episode.
>> Yeah. And I guess I So when you said, "Oh, this like this is a cinematic episode." And then I kept thinking like, yeah, like I've been watching, like I've mentioned like a lot of Ghost in the Shell, which is like kind of a slower uh anime in terms of like it's got who are we as human beings and and our interaction with technology and that kind of it's a lot less of like, you know, I don't know, there's a lot more uh moments in the episodes where you're sitting there thinking about psychology and and philosophy and these sorts of things. And I was reading reviews of like at the time it being on like Adult Swim and getting sort of mediocre reviews because people are it's so slow and kind of boring and whatever. But I think I'm appreciating that kind of show more now >> in my 30s. Well, I I mean [laughter] 30s 30s, dude. 30 is one thing, sure, but also like in a world where I think I think people are growing tired of like short form videos on whatever social media, whatever Instagram, YouTube, um [ __ ] Tik Tok, like I think people are growing tired of that. I mean the you the al the YouTube uh preference nowadays seems to be like make like four or five hour long video essays or whatever you know uh and people because people are looking for some kind of like uh put this on for a while and I'm I'm committing my time to this or whatever instead of like little little baby blips of Tik Toky things but >> you feel like people are like getting tired of that like not everybody obviously. Yeah, but I feel like I waste a lot of time on TikTok and I I will sit there flipping and scrolling for for for hours sometimes, but only because like I'm looking for that sort of like ah I need my ADHD needs to be fed. I need I need something going on. But I also will purposely like ah the new defunct land video on the entire history of some roller coaster. Like hell yeah. I'm going to watch this.
>> So this is this is I'm so sorry. This is another derailing from me.
>> Not really. Um, [laughter] while you still do it.
>> Yeah.
>> Are you as happy doing it as you once were?
>> Which one?
>> The the scrolling for hours. What was that?
>> I think my child fell off a skyscraper in the other day. [laughter] Um, he's want to do this. Um, I So, am I less like am I less likely than I used to be to to doom scroll? Is that what you're kind of getting at? I'm either less likely to doom scroll or are you as content doom scrolling as you once were?
>> I don't know. I mean, I I hopped on the Tik Tok train a little late, but I feel like I I don't know. It It's just however I'm feeling in the moment. I guess I guess what I'm getting at with that with the comparison I'm making to to anime of the same ilk is that like this episode retreated from the norm of Batman Beyond episodes of late that have been kind of it it was a villain of the week situation, but it was not just like a I don't know zany explosion episode.
It had up until he becomes Twoface Clayface at the end.
>> Yeah. And it it has a lot more like, oh man, this is about something and like damn, you know, and then it does like need to be a kids WB show and so it has him fight a big monster at the end of it. But it was very >> which is like the most antilimactic fight I think we've seen in Batman Beyond fighting. Well, I actually like lost track of was there a moment where Big Time did something to tire himself out or was he just suddenly really tired and then just fell over? [laughter] >> I had a thought about that. I think it might just be the Sarah Stone cuz like we saw him before he morphed and he's like holding himself up against a tree.
I think like he's like >> I thought that was kind of his like hulking out pre preamble like his like oh my god my body and then once his body bodied then he was bodied and it was fine.
>> I'm [laughter] sorry. Did you >> But no, I I took it as like he might be stronger but he's still feeling that badly >> because like when Bruce was like >> he still hurts quite a bit.
>> Yeah. Like when Bruce is like, you know, when when Terry asked about like the what Sarah Stone does, he's like, well, as long as you don't like touch it or get it on you or smell it or see it or think about it, you're fine. I took it as like it's not just going to give you powers, it's also going to [ __ ] you up.
So, I think he's like, I'm big strong and I'm going to get my revenge. Also, holy [ __ ] I just need to lay down a little bit and doom scroll.
>> Yeah, my brain's swelling up. [laughter] Well, I I said the take my strong hand as he rolls over the edge because he cuz he has the glove on when he gets all dowsted so that hand doesn't get [ __ ] like the rest of them. So that like >> is that why?
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They don't explain it, but that is the that's the idea.
>> Good eye, Jamie.
>> Yeah. Thank you.
>> Good eye as in get the [laughter] [ __ ] out of here.
>> Oh man.
>> Yeah.
>> Did you Why did you text me that [laughter] and just ask me that? Uh I that was just it was a I kept forgetting and I wanted to ask so I [laughter] just No, no, no. I just I for my own sake of like being interested in it, I just wanted that. So >> Oh yeah.
>> Not podcast related where might Yeah. Uh he asked me where I'm watching Ghost in the Shell. And to to disappoint you in terms of how to watch it yourself, I'm watching it on Blu-ray. [laughter] I bought it on the internet.
>> I'm disappointed.
>> Okay. So, but I can lend it to you later. But I I I guess yeah, it was just what I I I kept thinking after you said the cinematic thing that like, oh, maybe this will like be a top 10 contender for like the and it might still. We haven't gotten there yet. I don't know. But I I think I felt like it it took a dip at the end when it be when he was became a big monster. But I don't know what I would have wanted to be different because I do I did still like him like transforming into a a beast of some kind. But I don't know how to make it look less goofy or something. Like if he wasn't as deformed then it wouldn't have been as big of a deal. But I think maybe the character design was just a little too like Scooby-Doo villain or something for me to >> feel like a villain.
>> No. Yeah. Like if he was >> They probably couldn't do this, but if he had like part of his face was like falling off or something, you know, there's some horrific grotesque thing, you'd still feel really bad for him, but because he became like half Hulk, [laughter] he became like Hulk that transformed 35% and stopped. H what I'm hearing here is that you just really want people to suffer.
>> I do. Especially that guy because he made a mistake.
>> Pride month and [laughter] you want people who've made mistakes in the past.
>> People are different than me.
>> Jamie, do you want to unpack that a little bit and tell me why you're so comfortable with the idea of people suffering? H Okay. Denial. I'm noticing that you're in big denial. Big denial energy from Jamie. Okay. Can we hear from the rest of the class? Maybe >> before we started recording. Maybe it's time to stop talking.
>> Cherry tomatoes. Yeah, you said how gave >> it has something to do with your psychopathic behavior. Your words, not mine. [laughter] >> You said that while we were watching the episode. No one has proof he didn't.
[laughter] >> I said, I'm a psychopath.
>> Yeah.
>> Anyway, you want to tell me about the cast?
>> Oh, sure. I guess so. It's Will Fredell as Terry McInness/Batman.
>> Will >> Kevin Conry? Yeah. Will >> Conry >> Conry? Kevin Conry as Bryce Wayne. I uh a guy a guy came into the video store and had me um uh transfer some videotapes to DVD for him and his name was Bruce, but for his last name had a Y in it. So my brain changed his first name to Bryce. And I called him Bryce like three times when I called him to tell him his tapes were ready. And then he like very uncomfortably upset with you. Oh, I it's uh by the way it's Bruce. And I Oh my god, I'm so sorry.
And then I just thought like of all the people to not remember someone named Bruce, [laughter] it's not me. It shouldn't be me. It's because I'm a psychopath and it's Pride Month and I'm Yeah, you're nodding along. You're doing >> somebody would be like, "Hey, my name is Terry." And you'd be like, "Trancets goddess."
>> Yeah. Actually, I don't recognize that.
>> Uh Steven Baldwin as Charlie Bigalow, who you hated the voice of in this episode.
>> Honestly, terrible voice acting. It's a choice.
>> This is his only DCAU acting credit. the the voice actor might have been okay.
>> Yeah.
>> As a voice actor.
>> Terrible choice as a >> Hello.
>> This is the the youngest of the Baldwin brothers below. Alec, Daniel, and Bill.
>> Is he actually a Baldwin?
>> He's one of the Baldwin brothers. Yeah, we've had >> I can see why he hasn't really caught on cuz this doing this impression might actually be a little bit better than his his voice acting. It was, "What if I'm a bad guy, but I whisper." When I tried to imagine him like visually like his face as he was saying these lines, it just sounded like Alec Baldwin and then I was just thinking of the Team America puppet the whole time. [laughter] >> Oh, I'm sorry. What What is his first name?
>> Steven Baldwin.
>> Steven.
>> He just He looks like a Baldwin. Can't remember who what the name of the Firefly Baldwin is. Who's not a Baldwin brother? Adam Baldwin. He's he's done some voices already on the DCU stuff.
>> Excuse me, teacher. I guess >> he looks like the shittiest Baldwin.
>> I don't know. Look up Daniel Baldwin and I would say he's he looks like the worst one to me. He's the least handsome.
Sorry, Daniel Baldwin.
>> Disagree.
>> You disagree?
>> Please AB Steven and Daniel cuz like just to [laughter] >> which Baldwin brother is ugliest here.
Not it's not I'm not saying ugliest but like >> okay [laughter] >> you know when I do the AB the the the pictures that come up on Google they're not flattering for either of them Steven Baldwin I'm looking at the orange sunglasses the one with the hat with him standing next to Alec.
>> Oh my god. Yeah actually now especially he looks awful. All >> [laughter] >> right, I rescend. Daniel Daniel Baldwin, you're back to being handsome. Steven [laughter] Baldwin here, he was McManus in The Usual Suspects. That's a big thing he was known for. He also played Barney Rubble in the Flintstones Viva Rock Vegas the same year this episode.
>> Totally checks out. Totally. How much cocaine was involved in the making of that film?
>> Not enough. Uh, we have William H. Macy back as Keros Caros. Keros, I think.
Yeah, the guy with the Wolverine palms.
He was previously director in Where There's Smoke, who is the uh small Professor X and Aaron Herbs in Disappearing Ink. So, I love you ink.

He was previously Martin Labau in Feeding Time, who was the guy driving the truck with Parasite in the back and then he spills all the purple grape juice all over him.
>> What a bad guy.
>> He was also the the T1000 in Terminator 2 was his big thing. I am so upset to say that Keros isn't like a Greek god or something cuz I was just like the whole time I'm like >> you're probably thinking of the god of war guy which >> Aries no Kronos. Is that what >> the god of time?
>> No, no, no, no, no, no. What's the god of war main character name?
>> No, >> it's what I was thinking of. [laughter] >> Okay.
>> Yeah, Kronos is Yeah, Zeus dead time guy. Yeah. Anyway, Crease Summer as Max, Lauren Tom as Dana Tan, Shawn Donalan as virtual news anchor.
>> I'm sorryly Shaolin. Yes, >> thank you.
>> Uh Chad Einbinder as guard. Don't know who guard is. Oh, probably the guy.
[laughter] He sound and that's coming up. But yeah, he hears a sound and immediately Who's gay? Who's gay [laughter] over here? before before turning around to see that a human is there, he's already addressing somebody.
>> This has got to be >> Yeah. I think like if I went frame by frame, I feel like the the whatever briefcase or wherever he knocked over would hit the ground after that guy [laughter] was there or whatever cuz he turned around immediately. He was he did start talking before he turned. Yeah, [laughter] >> there's I just He's doing that at every corner. guessing someone's there.
[laughter] >> He's just walking up the stairs like begging for the day that there's going to be somebody there to make a sound.
>> He's been practicing for and then that's why he got caught off guard cuz he didn't expect someone to actually be there. [laughter] >> Yeah, >> I I am I am baffled. He's either the best or the worst guard ever.
>> Okay, Bob. Okay, Bob. Guard.
>> Bob. He's just like looking at himself in a mirror getting dressed in [laughter] the morning like today's the day, Bob. around one of those corners is going to be a bad guy with a gun. Just just just you wait and you're going to be prepared.
>> In the He's in the bathroom just like, "Who's there?"
Reset. Who's there?
He's doing that. OH, [ __ ] THERE'S A guy like [laughter] >> and this is like the moment where you know like it's going to be one of those like freeze frame where like your whole life flashes but in front of your eyes and he just sees this training montage of himself preparing to see a bad guy around a corner but realizing that he was just training for his turning around and not training to actually see what would happen if there was a bad guy there. [laughter] And then he immediately gets taken out by >> he just gets taken out just in in [laughter] almost as short amount of a time as his reaction.
>> I don't even remember.
>> He he just he just disappeared. He his atoms [laughter] just all disconnected >> and then just >> there was some sound effect from a 70s like some sci-fi movie and then the guy disappeared. I'm sorry that you have to make this a Tik Tok.
>> I know. I'm I've been enjoying it in my mind the whole time like, "Oh, this is going to be on the list." Yeah.
[laughter] >> No, no, no, no. Don't put it on the list. Just make it happen.
>> Put it to the top. Yeah. Uh Chad Einbinder was also General Kuster in Night of the Museum, Bettleheim the Cat in Dr. Doolittle, and additional voices in Tangled, Megamind, Shrek for Bem Movie, and Antsy.
And last, we have Gary Sturgis as Captain Rubin's who is the guy that helps him with the thing. [snorts] >> Uh he was previously Duke in Shock to the System and Ebon in The Breed. So he's just been back to back to back like hanging around the studio doing a bunch.
>> He's like, "Guys, I'm not going home.
You need to give me three more episodes to record for."
>> He's he's got sound booth. He's burning like a tick.
>> He's holding someone hostage. One more voice. Give me uh We don't have any characters left. Make one up right now.
[laughter] >> What if I was a guy that like moved a computer? Give me that kind of Give me that kind of voice.
>> He says you can be Mr. Reuben's. No, Captain Ruben. [laughter] That's why they wrote it into the episode. Yeah.
>> Who is he next episode? [laughter] >> I don't know.
>> What if I was an old lady crossing a street? There aren't old ladies. Make one.
>> There aren't old ladies in the DCA.
Well, you should know this. Any old lady in any other show, it's not canon.
truth.
>> Uh, okay. Some tribes from this. The claws behind what?
>> Give me them.
>> Okay.
>> Wolverine claws.
>> Oh, yeah.
>> Okay. Tell me about it.
>> They reappear on his abdomen in the next shot and all subsequent shots when he's using them already.
>> You can't prove why that doesn't happen.
Keep going.
>> Yeah. [clears throat] Charlie's eyeb [laughter] >> Charlie's eye color changes from blue to black between shots when he first meets with Terry and then again at his apartment.
>> Yeah. Terry's eye color changes from blue to black between shots when he introduces Charlie to Dana and Max. Then again on a walk when Terry walks away from Charlie.
>> Also, Terry has a mad lazy eye at one point in this >> a couple times. Yeah.
>> Yeah. He's like looking at Max and looking at um what's his girlfriend's name?
>> Dana.
>> Dana at the same time.
>> No one cares about Dana. [laughter] We care about We don't care about her enough to remember.
>> Straight white guys. They don't care about Dana.
>> Not at all. This episode finally reveals why Terry spent three months in juvie.
His criminal record had been alluded to in a touch of kurar revenant rats and eyewitness.
>> It was it was nice. It was nice to hear a little bit of it and also like the associated guilt of like well I was younger so I didn't go to jail.
>> Yeah. We never know what he did and it turns out he just like I crawled into a house cuz I was a baby. [laughter] And then then he said I shouldn't have done that though. I crawled into a house because I was a baby. Oh, I shouldn't have done that as a baby.
>> And the police show up. Who's there?
They say. [laughter] And then >> they just turn a corner. They turn a corner. Who's there?
>> It's a baby. [laughter] >> Which is good. And then the guy has a flashback of like why it was good that he doesn't shoot at the at the immediate moment because baby >> guard used to be a cop. Used to be cop.
Yeah.
>> Wow. But he shot a baby when when Titty was baby. Uh-oh. Uh, this episode was produced before Ace in the Hole, but it aired much later. This is why Terry has no knowledge of Sarah Stone here and acts like this is his first encounter.
While in Ace in the Hole, he knew what it was. [groaning] >> Thank you for that one, cuz I was like, but I, the uninitiated, [laughter] understands what Sarah Stone is.
>> Controversial air date.
>> Controversial. Jamie, >> the last thing I've got is in the closed captioning, Sarah Stone, Ce Stone, is spelled S A R A Stone, but the canisters have the former spelling printed on them. So, whoever wrote the captions is stupid or they should have been practicing.
>> Just a fan of Sarah's around the world.
>> Just a fan of Sharon Stone.
>> Sarah's without the H. Uh, if you are a Sarah listening and you don't have an H in your name, you have to subscribe as a Dylan Pollock level listener on coffee.
>> Buy us a coffee. Thank you. Uh, Keen effects.
>> Keen.
>> Uh, Batman flying through uh the street in the Batmobile and the street lights going over and then his face was like lit up not lit up not lit up not. And it was >> I didn't catch that.
>> Yeah, you didn't.
>> I will. My keenest was the physics of soil, >> the soil silo. Not how the shodily attached it was to the ceiling, >> but the soil >> got shut by a laser and fell over.
>> I But like >> pew pew and this like several ton thing just like falls from the ceiling like what was it held up with held on a tiny chain and then you Golden Eye N64 laser gunned the chain and it fell down. Yeah, >> you know what that does happen.
>> Mhm. Yeah.
>> One hit KO.
>> Uh I would say another uneen thing was Batman sliding down the soil before commercial break and when he his hand touches the soil. There's like a cool like kind of river ripple thing coming off his fingers as if it's still moving, but then he starts sliding down and that whole shape shifts with his body like perfectly. So it's not leaving a trail or anything. You you call it Uneen. Uh and the rest of us just know that you don't understand soil dynamics.
>> That's true. You don't understand soil dynamics is also a good subtitle. I'm really upset at how on the on the ball we are lately, but [laughter] we're just good.
>> Do you want us to get off of the ball?
>> No. Okay.
>> Um another uncle thing there was a lot of keen stuff. I will say I'll I'll sandwich it. Uh, a very keen thing that I liked was the moving purple clouds behind uh, Max and Terry on the bridge.
Uh, very anime, very good. And just the painting of the the buildings in the background.
>> Um, but an uncanny thing was when uh, Charlie goes to grab the barrel, I think after he's already been doused. It might have been right before, but his hand goes like in behind in it for like one frame. Did you see that?
>> I did. [laughter] I did see this.
>> Yeah.
>> Also, my my big question is like, okay, why why does he bother writing this toxic chemical that has already like splashed on him? Like, leave it on the floor, dude. What are you trying to do?
>> Yeah, [laughter] you already [ __ ] up enough. Like, you can't undo it. Yeah.
>> And yeah, I mean, they they messed up, I guess. Or maybe they knew. See, this is the thing I guess that I I would think would be a cooler ending or something is like cuz clearly um what's his face? Uh Willie Hy uh Keros uh is like I [ __ ] hate this guy. Why did we hire this guy?
He's a child compared to me or whatever.
Like I don't know why he's so mad at him. Oh, it's cuz he's like favored by Fat Guy. And uh >> it's a movie to me.
>> That's true. It was a It was a Charlie to me and he uh go watch the Emoji Movie review. Yeah, [laughter] >> it's a good video. He obviously dislikes him, but it would have been kind of cool if because he dislikes him, he like purposely [ __ ] something up with the [ __ ] so that it gets poured on Charlie and instead it's just a complete accident.
>> Um, it would have been a little more like tragic or whatever, I guess, because it would have been unavoidable.
Charlie in this instance is like, I'm just trying to redeem myself, but I [ __ ] up again. And then I also poured a bunch of blue Gatorade on myself and turned into halfhold. Coach, I thought we were I thought we were celebrating. I poured the Gatorade on him. [laughter] >> He goes up behind Carlos and JUST BOILING. [laughter] QUICK, get the soil. Shoot the soil.
[laughter] You hear like a touchdown pour. Anyway, >> the Knicks just won. [laughter] >> Yeah, love the cool. I was at a wedding when that happened and everybody was very excited and I was like, "I'm sorry, what? What are we celebrating?"
>> Uh, baseball or something.
>> Sports ball.
>> I was I was at bar trivia and uh we were there with a couple people that were there to watch the game like on the TVs behind the trivia. Like they were playing trivia with us, but were they mostly there for the game? And then uh when the final point happened, I know sports. Uh, I was the only one looking at the TV and I just went, "Oh, shit."
And then everyone kind of turned and [laughter] then it was like, "Oh, it's over." Like there's like 1 second on the clock. Like there's no way that they'll get past this. Yeah, it was cool. It was fun.
Hooray. Anyway, what were you going to say?
>> [ __ ] I don't remember. What were we talking about? [laughter] >> The soil and the Gatorade.
>> And the Gatorade and the [ __ ] >> You had your hand up.
>> What was before that?
>> I don't know if Keros had purposely done it to him or something. And then you raised your hand and you had your hand up for a long time and you obviously had something very important that you wanted to say.
>> [ __ ] it left me. I got caught up in the Nicks.
>> So caught up in the Nicks, little Brian.
It's from the Phantom Optimist podcast.
It is Jordan Blumen's musical minute.
>> Hey, music.
>> Hey, did I already Bluetooth to the uh soundboard? We'll find out in 3 2 1.
>> Now over to the musical minute for Big Time. I like the kind of recurring uh rhythm that uh pops up. Um that's it starts out kind of like you know sort of just a nice pleasant groove for when uh Terry runs into big time again and it's like two friends reuniting but it's the same groove the same tempo same like I checked it's all the same >> uh background uh when he turns into the big monster version of big time but they've now added like heavy electric guitar and the bass register and like kind of everything you know they're doing all this stuff to make it feel heavy and more menacing but it's the same bass groove. And I just thought that was a ne a neat piece of uh musical evolution throughout the thing. I also like the scene where Terry is talking to Big Time and we get some triangle in the groove. Underrated percussion instrument for the win. And uh when Terry tells Max about the backstory with Big Time, the synth stuff there was really pretty. I need to add it to my Sleepy Time playlist. Never apologize for loving your fandom and try to stay optimistic.
Yeah, I think all the Batman Beyond soundtrack is on streaming somewhere at this point. You should be able to find it. Yeah, >> the the Dynamic Music Partnersh composers have been uh releasing Batman Beyond and Teen Titans and Justice League Unlimited and all these uh soundtracks that have never been out there before uh over the last few years.
So, it's been really nice to be like, "Oh, finally I can listen to his song that plays when Robin kicks the guy that I've always wanted to hear without the kicking sound effect." Like, that's a legitimate [laughter] thing that I've wanted and I finally have.
>> I've experienced that before.
>> Yeah. Uh, and especially when you have the like if it's something you've encountered so frequently that you have like the sound is just permanently have the impression of it that like you listen to it like especially that first time without the sound effect and your body kind of like rejects >> Yeah. the same thing with I've been editing uh we're doing a a karaoke like lyricized version of um the Star Trek various Star Trek themes for my dad's 60th birthday party. Oh my god. And uh it's it's like the lowest level uh like musical number thing we've ever done for an event, but we needed to do something and [laughter] it's still pretty fun.
But there I was I was editing the next generation theme isolated to put the words on screen and it doesn't have the ship sounds of it flying by every time that they supposed to and I'm like ah something is wrong. So it's the same thing. Yeah. Uh [laughter] man, I'm That's a party I wish I could also be at because that sounds amazing.
>> That's okay. I We'll We'll There will be video of fun parts, I'm sure.
>> Oh, I know there will be.
>> Uh yeah, what what Jordan was talking about though, I did not notice the triangle again uh for the second time in a row. And I also didn't notice uh that that's a very cool thing that they use the same like buddy motif for I'm turning into a Hulk monster when he's doing that but in like a gross evil form or something. So I'll have to listen we have to like listen for the music >> again. Like I know we we there's like there's some things that we repeat over and over again but like >> I feel like we would legitimately just fully be missing out on music things if not for Jordan.
>> If didn't mention them. Yeah. That's why he's That's why it's very useful to have him here. Jordan's usefulness for this. I give him a 10 uh triangle groove >> out of 10. Give him a 10. Lack of Robin kick sound effect.
>> 10. I hope you're moving into your house is going well.
>> Oh yeah. 10. Send us pictures of your house out of 10.
>> 10. Send us pictures of your house or else.
>> Yeah. Oh.
>> Oh.
>> Yes.
>> What?
>> Out of 10. Uh oh. I keep I keep doing this. is I keep looking for a where's Clayface sound and there isn't one. I don't maybe there should be one. Someone make us a Where's Clayf face? I guess >> listener, we recruit you once more.
>> It's one of the only things that doesn't have a sound. See where he was the soil.
[laughter] >> He was pretty.
>> We were like, "Oh, obviously he's the soil." But then we had Bigalow.
>> Oh, become a mutant. We're like, "Oh, >> clay jigalow." Yeah.
>> But I I will say the soil. Why not?
>> Yeah. The soil just looked exactly like Clayface as it like folded out of the barrel. Yeah.
>> And then uh but yeah, I mean he is only clayfaceish cuz he's got like big jaw teeth and [ __ ] but >> yeah, he's [clears throat] a weird shape.
>> He's a weird shape. It's time for Batman's usefulness.
>> What?
>> Oh, what did Batman do? Did he get a 10 or only a two? I really got to know.
Tell me now. What is Batman [music] useful?
I he was pretty good.
>> Yeah, >> I guess.
>> Yeah.
>> Uh he was he he was good at getting Charlie a job and then Charlie said, "Thank you. Uh that's exactly what I wanted >> to do a crime. So then he was bad at getting Charlie a job." But then he was good at beating up a helpless uh guy. A big guy. What >> I remember.
>> Good. Say it. [laughter] Why did Batman let Carol plummet to his death?
>> Oh my god. Yeah. [laughter] So, but at first I thought that was going to be really goofy because he slashes at something and misses and then hits the ground.
>> He cuts and cuts the balcony off.
>> Yeah. He slices enough of like a 10-ft semicircle or whatever. And then he It's the cat scratch fever bullet ice circle all over again. Yeah, [laughter] he thought it was going to be goofy because uh he keeps saying a huck because the the ground that he's standing on is like a slightly different color. It's like an animated ground and on the painting balcony.
>> Yeah. And then I was like, "Oh, okay.
It's going to that's going to fall or crumble or whatever."
>> You're going to hear some like Looney Tunes sound effects and then like Carol is going to hold up hold up a sign that says help as the [laughter] ground like he stays still. The ground disappears behind him holding up. Yeah, >> but yeah, he he's just gone and and Batman just watches him die and just lets him die.
>> So, are we talking about how Terry's cool with killing people? Cuz there's no mention of it.
>> Delete some point. Yeah. Yeah. Batman or Bruce Wayne doesn't say like, "Hey, why' you do that?"
>> Yeah. [laughter] >> Yeah. You didn't like shoot him with your spider silk or whatever you do.
>> Yeah. Shoot. [laughter] How do you How do you shot web? Um I I'll give him like a five then I guess in the middle. Five futuristic smoke bombs as we had those used one >> on his on his Bigalow's face >> big time. Um I'm going to go lower.
I'm going to give him a four trucks meant to abduct only one type of truck. [laughter] >> Yeah. Pull the truck inside of itself or whatever.
>> More or less. Yeah. that in the intro we had the like bad guy vehicle meant to abduct the like essentially armored vehicle like armored car and it was just like the hatch was the shape of the car and we're like okay it's like a very monoposed vehicle >> you think the police are like um we got a you know such and such truck going down the it's got a the exact shape of a Ford Pinto in the side of it [laughter] be on the lookout I think it might be trying to steal a Ford Pinto [laughter] there's No, there's no telegraphing that at all.
>> No. Yeah. And it changed like when we first saw it, it was like the shape of the vehicle. The second one was a little more ambiguous.
>> I think I thought you were going to say four out of 10. Um, how why does a car still go over bumps when it's hovering or whatever.
>> Thank you for remembering that. Jamie, give yourself a cookie.
>> It's Batman.
>> That's cookie. Okay. Um, yeah.
[laughter] So, with the very opening shot, we have like these like dudes riding in a or we have a hover car and then it zooms in to show the guys riding in the hover car >> and they're bouncing like a normal car.
>> They're bouncing like they're going down like a dirt road with a bunch of potholes and then it zooms out to show the car which is perfectly smooth again.
I'm like, we hover cars don't hit bumps, which great subtitle for the episode.
[laughter] >> Oh my god. No, wouldn't they though?
Like >> no, that's the point of like a hovercraft.
Okay. What I'm imagining >> the craft itself goes over varied terrain smoothly.
>> But if the ground is ah I got my I'm the car. I'm going to keep my exact like twoft distance from the ground and the ground goes higher. The car is not going to like have like hover suspension. I guess I don't know. I think it does.
It's the future. [laughter] >> That's why they shake hands left.
>> Left-handed handshakes cuz future.
>> I don't know. [ __ ] it all. Four out of 10. Whatever you want listener. You know what? You know what? Here we go. We're gonna do our first like blues clues or like Dora the Explorer >> for Clar. [laughter] >> Listener, here. This is your chance. I'm going to give you a moment to think about what you would give him out of this episode >> and you get to fill it in here. I want you to yell it out as loud as you can.
>> I give Batman four out of 10.
>> You do?
>> You do. [laughter] >> I didn't know how to finish that.
Actually, I realized that >> you you should have said four and then wait the space out of 10.
>> Four >> and you say the thing [laughter] >> out of 10 whatevers.
>> Okay, we're doing bad. Move on.
>> This is a bad thing that we're trying to do. We don't know how to practice. We haven't been practicing in the mirror.
>> Uh from the Movies to Watch Before You Die podcast, it's Sauce the Week with Dylan Pock.
>> Coming up next, it's another guest. I bet Dylan's going to talk about the guy getting herole.
>> Dylan, you son of a [ __ ] >> He practically sedokued himself. I bet Dylan's going to talk about that guy.
>> Small from Dylan Pelon big time. Or >> big time. Slip the B. Big time. Slap the B.
>> So the bad guy we get in this episode, not big time, is basically we have Wolverine at home, but for villains.
[laughter] How did a big insider trading executive end up sharing a cell with like an 18-year-old who pulled a heist?
>> They don't seem like they'd be in the same jail. I don't know. I don't know.
>> Speaking of big time, is he kind of the two-faced Batman Beyond? Cuz he's Terry's former friend who just becomes deformed.
>> Also, I remember the Wolverine guys named Keros. It's pretty funny that he seemingly kills himself by cutting up the terrace. He's standing there moment where he's like standing there and just watches the claps goes. I don't know.
[laughter] By the end of the episode, we get Dana Kaido being cold being like, "Aren't you glad your old friend is just deformed and going back to prison?"
Like, >> like you can't ruin your life anymore, but I'm sure he's not like, "Yippee, [laughter] >> you know what is yippy?" The question of the week is [clears throat] your favorite part. Thank you.
>> When Brian Big Time Manily gets out for his insider max and Blu-ray trading, will you help him go straight or pull one big heist with him? Okay. I love you. Bye-bye, >> Jamie. This This one's all you, buddy.
Look, I'll hope that you've, you know, turned a corner in your life and that you're >> Oh, you're not a true friend. [laughter] >> I won't steal the Declaration of Independence.
>> You're not going to help me steal the Declaration of Independence.
>> Depends on dependence on um uh where we're stealing it from. If it's like from like a storage unit or something, >> what was the what was the other Tom Hanks and Audrey Tau?
>> Did they give Da Vinci code?
>> Yeah. Would you Da Vinci Code with me?
>> Sure.
>> Okay, at least there's that.
>> I had angels and demons [laughter] with you.
>> I just want to know if I'm a descendant of Jesus and if you're okay with that.
>> Yeah. Well, hopefully. I I think that part's always true.
>> It would explain the walking on water thing.
>> Yeah. Yeah. I've been meaning to ask you about that.
>> And me having like a tax-free way to take money from every Anyway, go on.
[laughter] >> It explain why I'm Jesus. Was this episode >> books or hiphop? It was the bibble.
>> It was the bibble. It was books.
>> Yeah.
>> And I think I agree with Dylan that I guess he would be a a two-faced to Terry, I guess. Uh, except he doesn't That's what episode >> the like California definition of two-faced though.
>> Oh, >> what >> what does that mean?
>> Have you been to LA?
>> Yes. What? Huh?
>> Yeah. You It's a I'm going to like ostracize like all of our listeners if I keep talking. My hardest my hardest [laughter] thing living in California was the >> penis >> just it [laughter] god you're funny.
>> No, it was there was I noticed there's a huge proclivity for people to be very two-faced.
What proclivity? [laughter] >> Use proclivity for penis.
>> Is that the subtitle? [laughter] >> No.
Butts. We're going with butts >> big time on a huge >> There was just I I noticed I noticed more than any other state I've lived in and I've lived in a decent handful and like one other country >> that Californians specifically the further south you get. I'm sorry listener. Please don't be this way.
Please prove me wrong.
>> Are very like upbeat and happy as like Californians are to everybody. Even the people they hate. And as soon as the people they hate are out of the picture, they trash talk them.
>> Listen listener. If you are somebody who talks politely to somebody's face and you hate them behind their back, next time you see them, just tell them you don't want to be friends. You can save so much drama and so much time and so much energy. Listen, coming from the advice of a New Englander, you can just tell somebody that you hate them and then you don't have to pretend you're friends.
>> Holy [ __ ] >> You're if you're a real LA two-foo you you flip a coin next time you see that person. If it lands scratch side up, you kill him. Then you're done with >> No. No. Don't. Maybe not that far.
[laughter] But just tell them that like, "Look, you don't like me and I don't like you and now we It's out in the open. Let's stop being friends. Bye." That's all you got to say. You can even just play them that clip. Put it on a soundboard.
>> We just just you saying that. Yeah. It's top 10 time for the podcast. And I think I might do it. I think I might do it.
Um, unfortunately I'm only putting it at number 10, so it might get conked out again, but um I'm putting it above splicers. I think Splicers was was cool.
This one had more heart, I guess. Um, big time. Splicers was like a cool early Batman Beyond episode where we're still like meeting everybody and how how will they react to Batman becoming a man bat and how does they fe defeat the true shame and all that but um you know well good for you and I I will say much like Beware the Grey Ghost which I I I'm still kind of baffled as to how we kicked it off as early as we did.
>> Yeah. Um, Splicers is one of those like, man, good for you guys making that episode. That being said, I'm also kicking off Splicers, which was my number 10, but also it's making it, this episode is making it further up my list [clears throat] >> than Splicers ever. Well, maybe not ever managed to be. I'm putting this at my new number eight, above April Moon. And >> April, >> hooked up or hooking up with Dylan Pollock, my dog. I think above April Moon is wrong personally. But you you're >> Yeah, I'm me, man. It's okay.
>> I'm me, man. [laughter] >> Don't you know?
>> Big Tim number eight. Cuz again, >> why wasn't his name Tim? That would have been so much better.
>> We called him Big Tim. [laughter] >> Well, I'm a [ __ ] Baldwin and all my photos online look kind of douchy.
>> Um, >> am I more handsome than Daniel? Who's to say?
>> Who's to say? There's some really bad photos of these days.
>> Why did I decide to wear orange sunglasses and that hat with my brother >> dressing like Kid Rock? [laughter] >> [ __ ] dressing a lot like Kid Rock and looking a bit like him, too.
>> Um, while I know that the end lost some points for you, I I'm not subtracting points for the ending, which was just >> it was you watching Over the Edge the first time, but you know, >> you know, some things are more egregious than others. And this one I didn't feel egregious. It was just it [laughter] was kind of a mid ending.
falling off the building.
>> That was hilarious.
>> And then and then you just hear Barbara Gordon's voice going, "No, [laughter] >> no." And then she wakes up.
>> God damn it. I keep having this [ __ ] dream [laughter] falling off buildings >> again. That one like cuz like this was like like not the strongest ending. That one ruined the episode. [laughter] Prove me wrong. Fight about it in the comments.
>> Prove me wrong by when we watched it again. And then you didn't ruin it cuz you knew it was going to happen.
>> Good episode, dude. I think worthy of number eight. Yeah. Full stop.
>> Okay. Okay.
>> No, full stop the episode.
>> Oh, just it [laughter] just ends.
That's the file stops running. Yeah.
Well, now we go to the future where we do mail. Except it's not the future.
It's right now. And that's because we're shaking with our left hands.
>> Yeah.
>> And then I tell Brian the name of the next episode. He tries to guess what it's about. Put it up.
>> We drop >> what? We drop >> our weekly. [singing] >> Oh yeah, those >> into the comment [music] box.
>> There sure [singing] was a lot. Now Jamie's mad.
>> Too bad [music] we're all >> At least I am.
>> Just Dylan Paul.
>> Do you think Dylan shakes with his left hand?
>> I know for a fact he does. Dylan, I I >> I would tell you this to your face that you need to stop shaking with your left hand, but I lived in California too long for me to say it. So, keep on left-handed shaking, Dylan.
>> If you shake it three times, you're playing with yourself.
Uh, if you'd like to reach out to us like the fireand judging me [laughter] so hard on that one, like the fire hand at the end of World's Finest Part Three, you can send a short ass email. It's an email for your ass. Or a 60-second voice message to [email protected].
Or leave a comment on today's episode on YouTube or Spotify. But please don't spoil anything past this episode for Brian.
>> Spotifi.
>> Spotfe. That's what I >> Is that how you say it?
>> What? Kauf? Yeah.
>> Spotfe on >> Yeah. Well, do you say kavifi when you're making fun of of kavfe? Kavififi.
>> When you when you do the Venmo thing, I read it as spotifi in my head.
>> But you know I'm making fun of the Trump tweet, right? The kav fe.
>> No, I don't know about this. You don't.
This was years ago. He just randomly tweeted C O V F E F Kaf Kafifi whatever and that was it. Nothing nothing else.
And everyone and then it was deleted.
>> President of the United States [laughter] >> and then everyone was just like making fun of that for so long of just kay like what what do you mean? So and then he tried to do some sort of like oh no I was typing this thing that I definitely wasn't. I I can't remember now, but uh so yeah, when I send you coffee money, I'm sending it as and it's also a combination of Spotify money, so it's Spotify.
>> Wow. No, I didn't. I thought it was silly. Jame Yeah, jammerism. Uh you know that I tried to pretend that [ __ ] guy doesn't exist. [laughter] >> Me?
>> Yeah.
>> Well, it's the first fight club this podcast by myself.
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, this the first time I sent it, I think I accidentally wrote stop a fay and you won't wrote back like stop f oh sorry I meant spot a fay like obviously way better and more obvious.
>> Your memory is amazing Jamie. Go on.
>> It is when I need it to be or it is when I don't need it to be. How about that?
Uh this is from Cam Lightfoot. Static shock meets golden grape part two. Hey there Jaylen and Beastruck. Uh Jalon, I don't know. I wanted to chime in with my high school click experience per B R B R B R B R B R B R B R B R B R B Ryan's suggestion because I think it's kind of unique. I went to an arts high school with no sports teams. So, the popular kids in school were the dance majors.
The goth/ nerds were often music and music or visual arts majors. And I was a theater major, which put me put me in a weird middle ground where I knew a lot of people that wasn't super popular either. The four main part main arts rarely talked to each other. And yes, it is really weird to have been bullied by someone in a leotard. Anyway, keep calm and steer clear of strange purple energy people. Cam Lightfoot. [laughter] >> I'm sorry. My My brain where where did Cam say they were from? My brain completely blocked it out.
>> No.
>> Okay.
>> Just a art school. Arts high school.
>> Yeah. See, I need to know where.
>> Yeah. [clears throat] Okay.
>> We need geography.
>> That was funny cuz I was listening to I'm like, "Yeah, yeah, wait. I I my brain removed the where.
>> That's where art happens. Wherever that is, not here. San Francisco.
>> They're trying to remove all the art. Uh Lock D said, "Why? It's my old friend Big Time. I call him that because he always thinking about committing large crimes. He calls me Tiny Terry because I don't share his worldview and choose to trust in people, a trait he openly mocks and has contempt for. Today, I will choose to trust in big time and hope that he is not thinking about committing large crimes." You can see why Bruce gets fed up sometimes. They don't make a big point of it, but I've always liked that Charlie was still wearing the fingerprint spoofing glove when he got splashed. And that's why his right hand stayed small character design thing that makes him less Hulklike, more grotesque.
Good episode with an important life lesson. Never trust a Baldwin.
[laughter] >> And this is where you put in the clip from Team America. [laughter] >> No, sorry. The South put that in during Pride Month. Yeah, >> the South Movie. The the where Mr. Garrison says, "All the Baldwins are dead." [laughter] >> Yeah. God, I need to watch that again.
It's been way too long. Isn't a dude where's my car situation?
>> Ages better than you would expect.
>> I would hope so and think so. Yeah, there's a lot of good, you know, I was led to believe there would be punch and pie uh that comes up once.
>> Two people leave.
>> Yeah. [laughter] Oh, so good. This is from Eric Leau. Big time. Or I had to make this joke at the start.
>> Man, you picked the wrong booth. Big time. TT, >> honestly, half of this is on Bruce.
Didn't you think you should have done a background check on Charlie before hiring him? But Terry, you honestly want to give a break to the guy who tried to assault your girlfriend? Man, he sucks as a boyfriend. We could have had Poison Ivy Beyond if they used that plant hormone to give us what we really wanted. Instead, we got the answer to where's Clayface and shitty Wolverine.
Thinking of I love the fact that Terry didn't even try to [ __ ] save him.
Honestly, this episode was okay, but really didn't stick the landing on the ending for me. Until next time, Batwags, keep calm and yap on. Honestly, seeing how crazy Terry's life's become just makes me glad that my life is normal.
>> Oh, hey, Croc. Well, got to go. Croc needs me to help him sell his tiny glove scales to mice who want to wear them.
>> Wow. [clears throat] Yeah, >> that throwback [laughter] >> for tiny Mickey mices. Yeah.
>> Wow. [laughter] >> Oh, I if I was >> threw you off from everything else you were going to say. [laughter] >> Tiny gloves.
>> Wow. Epic pull. Holy [ __ ] >> That Yeah. Like that's the first thing that Charlie does is like when he he doesn't recognize him from behind and he's like, "Hey, [ __ ] Stop like moving in on my girlfriend." And and then he's like, "Oh, my friend. Oh, well, hey, big hugs." And stuff. And then Dana's sitting there like, "Um, I know who that is." And he's a bad person, but even if she didn't, she should still be just as like, "Are you going to [ __ ] say anything about like what just happened?" [laughter] She Yeah.
>> Oh, Dana, you're a woman. That doesn't matter. Okay, we're moving on. We're gonna have We're gonna [laughter] go man talk outside.
>> Yeah, we're gonna go talk about our our heist that we're going to pull. Uh, this is from Ellie Fernandez. Hey, Betty.
Boop, Betty of Boop, and Jinpachi Mishima from Tekken.
>> Wow, >> that's me, I guess.
>> Glad you guys enjoyed the trip through localization land. Here's round two. We return to the iconic Sodad Goautica now in Las Novas Aventures de Batman.
Starting with a correction. Not sure why I said our boy El Cook Rio did not have a dub name last time. Uh, I was actually thinking of Bane. Anyway, let's find let's round out that. I look I read that phonetically as it's written. El coco drillo cooco drillo, but I feel like it must be crocodilo.
I don't know. Maybe it's a still a play on words thing. Anyway, let's round out that rogues gallery with all of our favorite rogues. El Penguino, Dolara, Twoface, uh, Yedra, Veninosa, Poison Ivy, El Espantaros, the Scarecrow, Sombraero.
>> Wait, [laughter] I'm sorry. What is What is What is Scarecrow and Scar?
>> Scarecrow. El espanta.
[laughter] >> What is that direct? Does that just directly >> I don't know. It it looks like espanta and pajaros are probably two word like scare and crow. Okay. And it's just scary crow. Uh sombrero [laughter] spreader. Uh moon munakita baby doll. Uh elro el Oh my god I'm so sorry I'm out of practice. El reloero the clock king.
El Ventric Ventriloqu Ventriloquist and Gar Roa Redclaw. If there was a character I did not mention, they sadly did not have their name localized.
Interesting how most of these are just direct translations of their English names. Special mention goes to award-winning animated film Batman Fantasma. [laughter] That's all for today. Stay happy.
>> Oh, does that give it away that it's a girl? Mascara del Fantasma like if if it had been fantasmo like I guess that kind what is fantasm >> why that's what I'm wondering is maybe is fantasma like always what fantasm is yeah if not then that's kind of shitty that that the language just gives [laughter] >> I'm sorry we need one more translation can you please delve into that one for us >> yeah it's from God of fame what's up yappy [ __ ] [laughter] goodness almost forgot about this again but we got there in the end I hope you guys haven't forgotten anything important this week like I have. This is what I got through this week. Did >> I probably did? Yeah. As well as any leftovers from last week. It's me, Captain Star Trek. This episode is truly fine, but Superman pulling a connection to Dr. Fate out of his ass like he did kind of ruined it for me. I just spent the rest of the episode wondering how they knew each other beforehand. Yep.
Oh, everybody else did.
>> Glowing red in his meat basement. The severed head reveal got me. And I thought, this is Mr. Freeze. thought it would actually kind of be interesting as motivation for Freeze if he was trying to fix himself or build a new body.
Instead, he's kind of just bullying random people to make himself feel better. Yeah.
>> Yeah.
>> Listening to the hole. This episode is Robocop, but the suit made him vote for Trump. I do like Lex absolutely destroying this guy and then immediately calling him trash. Love when a villain gets to flex their skills, even if Superman still has to save him in the end. When Clark's in the Kent, I took a break bring uh binging the DCAU to instead binge uh Spider Noir. That's the new um Yeah, Nicholas Cage Spider-Man show that I also need to watch.
>> Don't you know Kyle did an episode about it?
>> I did know that and I haven't listened cuz I haven't watched the show. Leave me alone. Spectacular show. Do recommend and this is a great episode to come back to. Very similar vibes and one of the better episodes of everything I've seen so far. I think it's probably late Mr. Kent. I really don't remember sometimes what the subtitles are referring to. Uh, Batman is Peter Pan. Yeah, this might be the best design for Scarecrow ever.
Also, the lack of fear gas lack of fear gas is an interesting gimmick for Scarecrow and it leads to some very interesting character moments such as new Robin showing more uh competency and agency than Dick Robin ever did and Batman almost cussing out a seven-year-old. Featuring improvements made by Intergang. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Podcast episodes where you guys just get to [ __ ] on bad guys are my favorite and they are so far and few at this point. I love all the jokes and honest criticism in this episode. Also, I hope you keep up the one nice thing rule you made. I forgot.
Positivity is important. We have not been doing that at all. Thank you for the reminder. Um, we said lots of nice things, but it wasn't a bad episode.
>> This made this made the list. So, >> yeah. Yeah, it did.
>> Uh, last is Goth White from the nose down. This episode is pretty good. Night Dick or whatever is not a character I expected to see in the show for a much longer time than this. So, him existing at all is cool. Catwoman looks bad if I'm being honest. About on par with Gordon. That's all for this week. It's been hot here in Cali. Hope you're fairing better up top. Well, I not as I'm probably not as bad, but still bad.
122 out of 205 or 59.5% playlist completion. Until next time, stay yappy and look forward to the past.
>> Look, >> thank you.
>> The whole California conversation I had earlier, I'm sorry.
>> Yeah, >> still true.
>> If it's really hot in your house, tell people that you don't like that you don't like them. Uh, that's what Brian said a little bit ago. This is from uh Super AI.
Uhhuh. Super asd.
I that I don't think I've ever read that or seen that in my life.
>> D K.
>> It says Alakablam source and then a YouTube link.
>> Alakablam.
[laughter] >> Sorry, just the just the sound again.
Um, it's unfortunate that it's a Gus Johnson video though. I didn't realize that. Do you know who that is? Who's >> Look up Gus Johnson. You'll see his face and you go, "It's that guy from memes or something."
>> Oh, I I do recognize his face. Is he someone we don't like?
>> Yeah, we he was good and funny and I really liked him until it turned out uh that he essentially abandoned his uh ectopic pregnant girlfriend uh in the hospital so he could like film a video or something. I don't remember the full story. I just remember it was a very shitty thing that he did and then a bunch of people defended him and not good. We don't like him now.
>> Yeah.
>> I mean I would I would love to hear some more information about >> Yeah. There was a whole thing when it was happening where she also made a video explaining all the stuff and then he made a much worse like apology video that barely apologized and then just kept going on his merry way and we're like oh >> yeah that sounds like a bad guy thing to do.
>> Uh Dante Namikazi.
All right, regarding the titles, as somebody that is a regular listener to the superb bestfriend cast/castle superbeast, I am used to way crazier titles like the races cannot mix until the time cube is defeated or 911 is an MGS2 reference or the R in racism stands for racism, so I [laughter] guess ours aren't too bad. Yeah, it's from Cooney Phoenix. Hey, >> read the subtitles. I've enjoyed the various occasions seeing a title in my notif that makes me audibly go now how on earth did this happen and subsequently finding out lol also meant to say much earlier but I also have never gotten the chance to watch static shock before so THAT'S BEEN FUN >> OH >> THAT'S AWESOME yeah I'm really glad that people are watching this with us having it >> you are me as long as you're not going ahead >> that's true this is from uh Ellie's magic Pat Nato, [clears throat] >> I'm sorry. I don't know if it's because I'm super tired or what, but for some reason, this has been the most laughs per minute I've had so far [laughter] from from the breed. So, that's good.
Sometimes we come away from a podcast going like, "Oh, man. We barely held that together." I feel like the one we're doing right now has been pretty good, but the I I feel like last episode was one of those like I just just have to keep being funny. Just keep being funny, James. Don't ever think about it.
See, [laughter] I just thought it was kind of a lower a lower bar episode. Was it good?
>> I guess. I don't know.
>> Sometimes people like us, I guess.
>> Well, happy to be there for you, cat.
What was the name?
>> I forgot. Uh, [laughter] it's Ellie's magic cat or Eli Smag Eli Smagi Cat Nato. That's what it is.
Yaptain said, "This episode really blammed my Alica." So, that's from Calvin. comments on 205. Dear Jaywok and Brian under the influence, [laughter] I don't know. In regards to Brian's question of high school experience, I grew up in the Midwest, graduated between 2010 and 2020. The range will help mitigate the doxing and also make Brian feel old and me. Uh, like James, even though I graduated one year before the minimum, like James' experience, we all were all pretty intermingled. Band kids were also on the sports teams. The drama kids were off in the Goths. And it never felt like one group was shunned just for what groups they hung out with. I, the orchestra, and band nerd, uh, was great friends with students on the football, basketball, and hockey teams, as well as helping some friends with their one act plays. Despite that, from my perspective, the band kids were definitely the ones who ran the school due to our sheer volume. Good for you.
Famously, we would load the vote for every homecoming and prom court with fellow band members by organizing around our chosen students with a consistency and voter turnout that was referred to as band mafia. Did we live up to the methods of real mafias? My lawyer has advised me not to comment on the [laughter] sincerely.
>> God, >> that's really cool. I'm I'm happy for you. We had like 20 to 30 people in our band maximum.
>> I need more I need more weighins. I need to I I'm just I'm baffled. I'm truly baffled by this.
>> It's people different leave different lives and different things.
>> I don't get it. I thought everybody was me.
>> I guess. Uh Dustin Phillips, when it comes to the subtitles, it's kind of 50/50 for me. Sometimes I don't think too much of them, but then other times it's like, what? Can't wait to hear the origin of that. Yeah. Okay, good.
>> Well, this is this is making me feel this is making me feel better about him.
>> Yeah. Okay, good. Yeah. Uh Ranger of Dragons. This will make you feel worse.
2009 from a private school, Washington Catholic in Indiana. Our entire class were friends. [laughter] >> So, you know, maybe it's the time period cuz I'm 2009. Maybe and you just were in the the crossover era of everyone still hates each other. I don't know. I'm sure there's still plenty of that, but comes back around. I don't know. It's from Kyle.
>> Kyle.
>> Big Time. Big Time is one of those episodes that could seem like it means nothing, but what it really does is help paint a picture of who Terry is and the experiences he's had. We get little tidbits of that in Rebirth that obviously he was in and out of juvie.
And one of the best decisions the writers ever made was having his character and who he was not nearly the same as Bruce Wayne. We know that Bruce lost his parents and then spent decades of his life to become the ultimate weapon in fighting crime and being a symbol for justice. And I like that we've explored the back and forth from how Terry differs from Bruce Wayne. Not only in age, which is obviously quite substantial, but who Terry has been and the fact that his past decisions often come to challenge him in other episodes like Big Time. I I just >> I love Batman Beyond so much. And also good point. the more we've rewatched it, I think it's settling in as my favorite DCAU show, but who knows? I may change my mind when we get to other stuff. Keep up the great work, guys. Stay yappy.
Calon's out.
>> Multiple [laughter] comments.
>> Oh, a bunch of you in the thing. Yeah.
>> Um, yeah. I mean, I I him being so different from Bruce is is good to differentiate the like Batman 2 nature of it. Yeah.
