It's true. We're here at, did you think on episode one that would be here? Same count, same everything, episode 32? I didn't think I'd be here. Oh man, you are, I think you're like one of my favorite guests. Because you're knowledgeable. Okay, I thought it was because you didn't have taste. No, Gilmore and Dun did a lot of, the last episode and I couldn't deal with the complaint. So I said, you know what, let's bring back somebody who actually has something to say. I love you guys. Nice. So over the next hour, we're going to be talking movies, video games and comics. This is GeekScape Reviews, interviews, news, all this. We're getting ready for Comic Con, which is in a couple days. Con! That's really fun. Wow, anybody who doesn't get that, turn this off right now. So Comic Con is coming up. We actually have a really awesome show. I don't know if we can cram it all into one show, so you guys are going to be seeing our Comic Con stuff over the next couple episodes because we're going to be there the full days. We're doing tons of stuff, interviewing, tons of people. Are you excited for it? For what reasons? Comic Con. I know. It's everything. What are the things you've got to do when you're there? Well dude, first thing you've got to realize, all right? I've been going in only like 10 years, which I mean, there's a lot for some people. You know, I know people have been going a lot longer than that, but I actually watched it become this huge multimedia thing. You know, I was down there when after Buffy Season 2, Joss Whedon came down with the entire cast except Sarah Michelle Geller. And that was the first time that people that were coming came down into that con that weren't coming for the rest of the convention, they would come from one of the panels. Ever since that Hollywood kind of took notice that that would go on, they've realized the marketing power of that, they've had all kinds of celebrities come down, all the studios do big movie presentations, for television they'll throw in there like hot pilots, you know, shows that are about to be on for the fall. What was that first con? It's just exciting. What was that first con like for you? Oh, my first con was just, it was before that, so it was just seeing just, I mean, it's a huge floor. Kind of common convention since I was very young, so it's just massive. But then what you end up getting is you see like all kinds of television and film stars all over the place. But you're first, but that first con, like how different was it? It's just so big and it's just grown exponentially since that. Because I just remember my dad taking me to the, you know, like my first con I ever went to. Back in Austin, I remember him taking me like a room and like one of the hotels, he said "Don't tell anybody about this." No, I remember him taking me to like a banquet hall at one of the hotels and it was just kind of like the local central Texas comic bookstores selling a bunch of, well people. Yeah, yeah. When I was first going, my first con convention was in New York and it was in a, you know, a floor in a hotel. And it was, yeah, it was just a bunch of different dealers set up selling comics. Not that different than like what the shrine does in Los Angeles here. That's coming up. Yeah, well, but in the shrines, you know, I mean, it's pretty often. I mean, you know, ever since the internet's come along, that used to be a big deal, like where do you go to get comics? You can't find. But since the internet and eBay, it's not so hard anymore. And for that reason, Comic Con has underplayed that a bit. Right. You know, there's less and less dealers there as far as selling comics. They're kind of pushed to one end of the floor. Yeah, they're one end. But you know, what you do have down there is you have all the artists, you know, which is a huge thing for some people getting autographed and all that, getting sketches done, which is really cool. I think that there's going to be since E3 changed this year, it wasn't, you know, big as it was in the past. I think there's going to be a much bigger gaming presence on the floor. I could see that. That's what I've heard. Now, what I like is the freaks? Well, yeah. I mean, first of all, you got, I mean, you got the Klingons. I love the cool. Yeah. Everybody, it's the place people go that want to dress up. I feel for the kids. You have the Klingons and then you have the, their kids dress as Klingons, you know. I mean, that's cool. That's like the whole thing. It's cool to some until the photos can't come out. Well, listen. I mean, are you saying you, you're wearing these kids that are being, becoming socially retarded? Yes. Well, I mean, we come from our parents. What if the kid wants to be a Star Wars fan? I thought that was her gosh, but for you and me. Let me tell you. We're not, when I was a little kid, I was maybe six or seven or eight. My mom is a, I think everyone's missing Laura's comments. What'd you say? Off-screen. What'd you say? I think it's just like that when I said the last two seasons, when you were going to become a minor. Right. You're right. I think these children have to be complete on it. So, so we've got this, when I was a kid, I had to become a Mexican. So, so, so just like these kids had to become clear. It's just like, yeah. So I have a, I have my maxi mullet and, and that's the way it works. There you are. Go, go eat a, go eat a taco Johnny and, um, enough TV, but I want to watch Chappelline. Um, so we have some reviews, some mood reviews. Laura and I went to see some films. Laura, Thursday night, she says we have to watch black sheep. We have to go see black sheep. You wouldn't let me not see black sheep because I had heard some mixed reviews about it. Black sheep is the movie about, uh, have you heard about this movie? No. I started hearing about black sheep about a year and a half ago. It's a New Zealand film that played festivals about a guy who goes back to his childhood farm, he's definitely afraid of sheep because his brother, he killed his pet sheep and then scared him. So now he owns part of the farm, but he's going back to sell it to his brother. His brother is turned into like a mad scientist. A mad scientist. Oh, just a, just a greedy corporate guy who started to push the, he's a moral and the way that he farms his sheep has to do with, you know, like, like gene splicing and, and all this stuff. The lower coming or sit down next to me. So when he gets there, he gets there on the same day that some eco, you know, Paris guys who, who want to free the, free the sheep and this and that, they get into the, the lab and they end up stealing a jar with like a sheep fetus in it and they break it and the sheep fetus isn't dead. Not only that, if it bites you, it turns you into zombies. So that sheet fetus starts turning the other sheep into zombies, where do they turn into a sweetie? Now this is really funny. Wear sheep. It turned into a wear sheep. Now this is a New Zealand film. It turns into a wear sheep and it's a really good looking wear sheep. Like you. Well, not good looking like you're sexually attracted to it. No. No, good looking like that. Come on. You're from something like that. Like it looks badass. Where is she would look like? Like it's a bat, the, when it is the, the special effects. When it did all these effects. So you have, you have these moments where somebody looks up at their hands. And it's turned into like a, a, a. And it's hilarious. Maybe I did you something bad. You know, cause what is doing 30 days a night right now. So if you're, if you're looking for a movie that reminds you kind of like bad taste or dead alive, those Peter Jackson type fun films, black sheep is definitely that kind of movie. We went to like a midnight showing at like a dollar theater, 10 PM at the dollar theater. And it was ratty. It was the perfect place for that. You know, there may be 20 people in the theater at all. And we're all lacking appropriately when the little puppet rabbit fetus comes up over the shoulder and starts biting the guy. I wanted to bring you on the, the show to say how much you wanted to see this movie. Cause I could have waited for Netflix, but you definitely wanted to see it. No. Yeah. I definitely wanted to see it. John showed me the trailer and that's like that. Like cause there's nothing scary about sheep. Nothing. Nothing. Is there, is there now? There is now. With our square teeth. Nothing scary about that. We're like bloodthirsty. We have this one scene where everyone's like sitting outdoors for a presentation and over this beautiful green New Zealand hill. You just see the stampede of white sheep coming down and then it's a bloodletting and they kill everyone. There are people, there are people trying to hold in their entrails. It's beautiful. It's hilarious. And then the people who get bit then wake up and they've turned into where sheep. Their feet are hooves and it's kind of like birds in that moment where they're trying to get out of the house that's surrounded by sheep and they're like. Yeah, there's definitely that moment where somebody looks up and a sheep is just looking at them and they play that joke a few times and it's funny every time. Such a good, loved it. I'm going to buy it, loved it. I might buy it for you. Will they? Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas baby. We also went to see the new Danny Bao movie, Sunshine. Now we went to this. Oh. I want to see Sunshine. What? I have to tell you a brief story before we talk about how much we like Sunshine today. I was at work and I was telling people what I did on the weekend, which is what people do on Mondays when you do this weekend. I read Harry Potter. Awesome. We're going to get to that. Are you excited? For what? Harry Potter? Okay. So. Rufus is staring at us like an audience member. He's just sitting there staring at us. Like a bad sheep. Are you entertained Rufus? So I tell this girl about Sunshine and I said, oh, you know, this great movie and you know, the sun's dying and so, you know, these scientists go into space and they're going to set off a stellar bomb, reignite the sun because the planets, you know, frozen. And I'm telling her a little bit more and she goes, and this is a true story. You remember Armageddon she's like, yeah, Michael, like- That was the best documentary I've ever seen. Wait a second, does that mean Transformers didn't happen? No, Transformers. It's based on a true story? The 80s cartoon did happen. I thought all Michael Bay films were true. Yeah. The only Pearl Harbor in the rock. And Bad Boys. Don't fuck with Black people, friends. Bad Boys, too? Bad Boys, too. It's true. Come on. You can get on a dime. Yeah. It made Cuba. Yeah. You know, within hours and just in and out. No problem. Drive to Guantanamo through people's houses. Right. They're just shanties. So anyway, this is a movie where, like you said, there's an international group of scientists put on basically a bomb slash spaceship with these shields facing the sun and they're sent to the sun because a portion of the sun has started to- has gone out. They need to reignite that portion because Earth is freezing. And the cast is Cillian Murphy? Yeah. Cillian? Yeah, Cillian. That's the guy, right? No, that's the guy from- Scarecrow. Scarecrow. Yeah, okay. Okay. There you go. Okay, so- The day I can take a high heel and ram it into somebody's thigh is so cool. You know how you do it? Practice. Yeah. Don't look at me. So we've also got Johnny Storm. Chris Evans. Chris Evans. Who you don't like, but I've always liked him since not an out of a teen movie. I think he's a really good actor. You like the smart. What? You like the smart? Yeah, I actually think he's a good actor and I think he's perfect for Johnny Storm. I don't think that- I think the problems with those movies are something else, but this movie- Well. They're on this ship. It's an international cast. Michelle Yoh, isn't it? I love her. And so, of course, because they're in space, they're trying to save humanity. There are problems that are going to happen in this. They're actually the second mission sent to reignite the sun, and early on in the movie, they have to hear a distress call from the other one that's been sitting there for seven years. And they have to decide whether or not to deliver the payload to the sun or to- Save humanity. It's save humanity or intercept this other ship. I kind of want to see it. So you got to know what you're talking about. Yeah. Okay. So that's early in the movie, and really, I don't want to ruin this movie for you because I'm telling you right now, it's probably the best movie I've seen this summer. Really? All right. Well, it's visually incredible. Yeah, I'm going to see it. It's visually incredible. But not only that, the writing is amazing because the things that they set up early just in the things that they have to accomplish in the movie, they have to, you know, they have this problem, this is the way to accomplish it. In these bits of story, you don't know it yet, but you're getting set up for much larger problems later. I wish I could tell you more, but there's a lot of science in the movie that is told you in a very layman's way. So it's well done. So it's not too much. It's accessible. It's a smart man's Armageddon. Okay. You know. Well, that's easy. Yeah. It's a smart man's Armageddon, which is probably the easiest sell on it, but... Because Jonathan instead, quite frankly, like Armageddon, if you're going to have a meteor, like Armageddon, if a meteor is coming towards Earth, what's the best choice? Do you get a bunch of oil-free drillers and teach them how to be astronauts? Or do you get astronauts and teach them how to drill a hole? Yeah. In this one, they get a bunch of scientists and they teach them how to... I guess... Shoot the bomb. Shoot the bomb. Shoot the bomb. Shoot the bomb. Shoot the bomb. I guess it's a question of whether which skill is harder to learn. I mean... Yeah, drilling a hole would probably be a lot harder than becoming a scientist. But you know what? Michael Bay did not oversee that fact. He wanted to stack the decks. He gave him a Gatling gun. Over the end of Armageddon, where there's a supposedly a Gatling gun on the... Sure. For no reason? Well, sure. You know what? I love Armageddon. It's a fun movie. It's a fun movie. Yeah. But this is a fun movie. Dude, the action in this movie is intense. The really, really gripping, stressful moments in this movie are great. And I'm watching this movie. I step out of the theater, and this is how you know that I'm the geek king. I step out of the theater, I turn to Laura, and I say, "You know what? This is how Fantastic Four should have been handled." Yeah. And it would have been just as commercially successful, but it would have been critically successful. It involves all these space moments, it involves big ideas, the kind that Reed Richards would love to handle. But it's made in a very accessible manner. It's told in a very accessible manner, and it's gripping. You're not lost. So before we got into the movies... Before we got into the movies, we're going to do the new Fruit Fruit Theater. We went to the new landmark, and landmarks remain made to be landmarks. They need to be old, kind of beat up stand-alone, so that's what makes them nice to go see. Like old opera houses and stuff, right? It's a new one in the West Side Pavilion, and it's big arc light, and it's just glamorous. Right. So we're getting in line for concessions, and... Everything has been frustrating to this point. Getting the tickets, getting everything. Everything tells you don't go to this theater. But we do it anyway. We sit in like fourth row. We don't care. So I'm walking to the concession line, Helen Hunt walks in front of me. I know we have a young audience, but she was an actor. Some people think she still is. Exactly. So Helen Hunt walks in front of me. Some people think she never was. Awww. I'm not the person. That's a cool question. As good as it gets. Yeah. So there she is. She walks in front of me, and I'm like, "Cookie, I love LA. There's Helen Hunt." And as I follow her, she goes to hug someone. "Oh my gosh! All riser! They hug!" So all of a sudden, it's like this impromptu, mad about you reunion. Reunion, yeah. We didn't know each other with their spouses. They don't know they were going to be there. They hug. They would ever. She goes into whatever film she's seeing. Paul Reiser and his wife are in the line next to us, but they're ahead of us. So we get in our line. Tastes forever. It gets worse. I mean, the experience was really bad. We get to the front of the line. There's only one dude, one register. He walks away. He comes back. He goes, "Is somebody helped you?" It's like, "Mother, that's your job." You're the only person who can... Who would have done that? I go, "What the hell are you talking about?" But anyways, that was a nightmare. Was there someone else who might have? No, absolutely. Yeah. He says it's going to take a minute and a half for your two hot dogs, and I say, "Fine." He walks away. This girl walks up, he's obviously never going to help us again. This girl walks up and says, "Just looks at me." I say, "Listen, can you check on two hot dogs for me?" She goes. She goes. And walks away. Finally, I see someone walking past with two hot dogs in their hands. I ripped them out of their hands and go, "Thank you, goodbye." And just walk into the movie. But what's funny is while we were waiting for those hot dogs, which we weren't going to come anytime soon. Paul Riser is... Paul Riser is... Paul Riser is... Yeah, he had to get behind us. And we hear... I mean, it's crazy town in this theater. The employees are crazy. The people going to the movies are crazy. Somebody starts making this crazy laugh. And I go, "What the fuck? Is that human?" And Paul Riser starts laughing his ass off. So Paul, I made you laugh once. You made me laugh never. He had a solid stand up at like... I'm kidding. I'm kidding. He's great. I'm kidding. Paul Riser. Excellent. Dude. Aliens. Great. My two dads. Come on. So he loved us and he loved Jonathan. He was laughing and sharing her mystery. I'm kidding, Paul. Paul, I'm kidding. I loved mine. I loved it. It was great. Don't turn this off. I love mad about you. Not my kind of show, but Paul... I was just kidding. It was an easy one. I went for it. I'm sorry. Can I go now? Oh, yeah. Get out here, Beauty. So, the moral of the story. Sunshine was good. Sunshine wasn't just good. Sunshine was incredible. And I would love to get it further into it, but it really would ruin the movie. Visually stunning. The performances are incredible. The writing is spectacular. John and Mark. Not having a good movie. The directing... It's so good that that abysmal movie-going experience was fantastic because of the movie. One of Pause Real Fast tell you guys all about our sponsor NetRiver.net. They've done some shake-ups. They're changing their business plan. If you go to the site, it won't be too obvious that they have the best deals on the web for hosting, but if you email their sales department, they will hook you up with some really cheap web hosting. I have an $8.95 a month plan, which is how I run all of Geekscape. They power Geekscape completely. And of course... John, this is not just being a horror. It really exists. No, dude. I have three accounts at NetRiver. So at those prices, you can. But if you put in our promotional code, which is Gilmore, you get 10% off and it makes things even cheaper. So they're developing a new site. Is there a joke somewhere there? Just for grossing. Gilmore is minuscule. So definitely visit NetRiver.net, email their sales department, if you want to get hooked up with a really kick-ass hosting plan. And notice, we haven't had technical difficulties since we've been on them. The old website, remember when you send your friends to check out the show, there was technical difficulties left and right, shit wasn't working. Yeah, not anymore. Movie news? Have you heard about this escape from which mountain remake that they've made? We have heard that today. Gunfilms is making it. It's got a director. He's Andy, Andy Figman, and he's the badass who remember a couple episodes ago when the guys in Cruiserweight were telling you about she's the man and what an amazing film that was with a man of bias. Same director as she's the man. He's doing escape from which mountain, which is a little bit ahead of my time by a couple of years. Like older than you are, yeah. Just a little bit. Did you watch that? Yeah, as a kid. Was it fun? Yeah, it's cool, Disney. Two kids with sight power, with like sight power and powers who were kidnapped and taken to which mountain? Yeah, it probably does make for good remake because it's dated, but the ideas sound and you know, kind of thing that people aren't into now. In college, I interviewed Robert Driguez and he told me that that was his main influence for doing the Spy Kids films. Yeah, I can see that. You can see that. Yeah. Hey, he just loved that movie. How are we doing on time, VJ? 40 bucks. Kickass. Did you hear about the Punisher finally getting cast? I did hear that. I love Rome. I never saw Rome, but this guy, Ray Stevenson, he's got to play Lucius Pillow on Rome. Does he look like Frank Castle? I mean, I guess it depends who's drawing it. You know, on Rome, he has a kind of crew cut, you know, he's supposed to be Roman. But he's a big guy, you know, he's like, in Rome, he's a lot of just brutal, bloody killing. I mean, he just, and you believe that he just kills people with his bare hands. So maybe he's the right guy for this. Yeah. I mean, he's English. So I don't know if he can pull off an accent that isn't English, but you just believe that he's just a big guy that just destroy people. I always thought that he's Roman. Yes, see, he's Roman. Rome's off. His strength would be a kickass. If he could lose the accent, you know. Yeah. Jason's great. I mean, you've seen Jason do some tough stuff. So, you know, I mean, I think that's casting would be better than Jason, actually, for that role. And now, Lexi Alexander. What's that? Is that a redo? I don't know. It's not a redo. It's a sequel, but they're recasting. And Lexi Alexander is the new director. She did a movie called Hooligans, which was Elijah Wood going to Britain, and he starts running with, like, a rough crowd of soccer players. I haven't seen it either, but I heard it was really good. I mean, that last Punisher killed me. I thought it was. Well, the stuff that's taken out of the first mini series that I just did, that's great. And the other stuff, you know, not so much. Which is in the majority. I made a statement early on about-- Rufus didn't like the first Punisher movie. No, look. I mean, it set in Tampa. You know, it was a production concern. It was about money, but-- It was about keeping trouble to happy. You shouldn't have been in the movie at all. Yeah. And you know, you don't set in Tampa. I mean-- Punisher's in New York? Dude. Yeah, New York. So I don't know. You know what? I'm withholding judgment on it, but-- I would love to see them do what I think they're doing with the incredible Hulk. You heard the news today about New York? Tell me. Tell me now. The news today is that it all takes place in New York and it's basically hulking the abomination, just killing each other in New York. Hold. I'll go with that. Yeah. I'll go with that. Tim Roth, as you know, belongs to you. I think that's so good. I was just telling you before the show how much I love what Marvel's doing with their movie franchises. And if they can just continue to make them and let some of these contracts with other studios expire because they're doing them right-- No, Hulk's going to be great. You said the new Iron Man image? Amazing. Iron Man's going to be awesome. Big, big Iron Man panel at Comic-Con Hulk as well, but actually Iron Man is going to be footage because they're a lot further along. I'm really excited for Iron Man. So Washington casting, you've been watching that? Yep. They have anyone? This guy Matthew Goode? Yep. As a man, yes. Did you see Match Point? That's the only thing I know him. I love Match Point. He was Scarlett Johansson's brother in Match Point. Match Point is just amazing. I mean, that movie, the fact that Woody Allen didn't get Oscar for Directly Island. I was with it about two thirds of the way through, and I started to not be that into it after quite. See, I came out of that movie just like hours later, and I still felt it. Right. And it's all the directing. No, no, trust me. That was an injection. That was an injection of talent that he really needed. Well, or just an injection of talent. He needed that kind of... He needed to break out of his own life in making a film, or his own head about what his life might be. I mean, that movie, that script is so outside of what we all perceive as Woody Allen's life. Right. There isn't a Woody Allen character in the movie. Right. Which is fantastic. Oh, that'd be really funny if he casts himself. Matthew Goode. Billy Crudepers. He's a good actor. You have this girl, this Maelin Ackerman is Lori. Yeah, she's hot. She's hot. Now, listen, I'm going to tell you a concern that I have with all of these casts. Mind you, she, I mean, blonde, obviously, you're so expector was Burnett in the book, but you know, she's hot enough that I... All right. Here's my concern with all of them. I think that they're all 15 years too young. Not for so expected. That's not true. They're in a place after these people were well-retired from their careers. Well, not so expected. She was really young. And she's the daughter of... Yes. Right. Well, we're not going to say anything. Right. She's the daughter of the first, so expected. Right. It's a black and hairy character. Right. You know? So it works okay for her. She's supposed to have been, you know, like really young. I would have liked to have seen Dog Manhattan and those amandias be these older guys. Yeah, at least like a Jude Lodge. Well, wait a second. You understand that? It's like Manhattan, you know, doesn't... That's right. It's amazing. That's right. You know? So that's not really an issue. Matthew Goode, as Adrienne invited us as amandias, he's supposed to have been really young and just a pinnacle of human perfection. They should have cast me. Yeah. I mean, look, you know, you got to figure that Owlman should be this, you know, middle age, out of shape guy. Owlman... I mean, I always thought I loved the idea of Tim Robbins as Owlman. Yeah, I kind of think... He kind of looks different. You know what I mean? He's a little... A little too old? I think too tall. Mm-hmm. I think... Or a... Or a... Or a... I'm talking Cusac. Yeah, maybe. Maybe. I kind of see Owlman as being shorter, but maybe it doesn't matter. Right. You know, it's like... So expect it should be so clearly out of his league. Mm-hmm. No, absolutely. Absolutely. But Mel and Ackerman taught. And she can actually act. So... Did you get the comeback? Oh, yeah. At least could. Did you hear this... Oh, I didn't watch that. What about... He saw... The... Kumor. I did. Yeah. She's a mat. She's the really, really hot woman who was married to the freak who, you know, only wants them to bang her. Oh, yeah! You look at him. I remember that. Right. The toe man. The guy with the toe truck. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, gosh, she was smoking hot. Yeah, she was smoking hot. I still... Yeah, she was smoking hot. And put her in a brunette. I do like that. So, did you hear the sad news about Lazo Kovacs? I just heard it as way to work. Lazo Kovacs was a cinematographer. He did Easy Rider. Paper Moon. Say anything. Shampoo Ghostbusters. The guy is one of the most revered cinematographers in Hollywood. 74 died in his sleep. Definitely have to mention it just because the guy is... Yeah, he's more than a legend. He was phenomenal filmmaker. So, I am sorry about that one. That's a lot of news, but, you know, that one kind of surprised me when I saw it today. Have you heard about this teaser that they have for the Dark Knight? You know, I saw that it was online. I didn't collect it. Oh, I'm not going to watch anything. Because I want to see it. It's supposedly in front of the Simpsons. Right. Do you know what happens in it? I don't know. Do you want to hear it a little bit? We could talk about it. I mean, my whole thing was I want to see it. Right. I mean, it's a fake Harvey Dent campaign... Right. I heard that we're doing that. And it goes into this, you know, bullet Harvey Dent as district attorney. Right. And then it becomes, you know, it kind of falls apart and you see a silhouetted person in front of a window in a dark room. It starts this monologue, right? And it's two-faced. And it comes, no, it comes along and it flashes. And I wasn't going to figure out who it was. I believe it's the Joker. Okay. But it reveals who it is. Supposedly the monologue is incredible and gives you chills. This is just reading a summary online. And they're doing everything right is what I'm thinking. You know, I know a lot of people that are really concerned about the, you know, throwing too many in one movie. No. But, you know, I love that first one. I have fake. Yeah. I'm not going to be the... Well, the first one. The first one has... The first one has what? Three or four villains? But... You have to remember. A lot of people feel... I've spoken a lot to people. There's a lot of people feel that the scarecrow is, you know, kind of wasted in there. Sure, but... I mean, I'm just saying that a lot... You heard the rumor about the Riddler? Yeah. You know, and how it's what's his name? Um... What's the name of the guy? The actor from the '80s. Which guy? Oh, the actor from the '80s. No, no, no, no, no, no. I'm never back to Bay. What was the name of this guy? He was in all these... He was in all the John Hughes movies. Oh, yeah. It's, um... What do you call it? From the death of... Exactly. And Michael Hall. Yeah. So, supposedly he's playing Edward Nigma. At least in like a little glimpse of him at Arkham. Right. You know, I'm thinking maybe you see him in Arkham. Maybe you see the scarecrow in Arkham. You know, Arkham. Maybe you see... That'd be awesome. Maybe get like a little pepper... That would be awesome. ...of this thing. I don't get worried about it. And you know what? And I think it's great. Let Harvey become Too Faced in it. Yeah. It would happen. Love him and then lose him. Yeah. My only concern really is, do you start to lose Bruce Wayne in all this? Well, I mean, there's a lot going on. You know. I did see Rescue Dawn. I didn't see that yet. My brother and I went to see Rescue Dawn on Saturday. I think it's an awesome movie. You know, who really impressed me? It's Steve Zahn. In this. He ends up being... I hear him. I don't want to get into a full review. I don't want to get into a full review, but the movie is definitely a recommendation. We've got to talk about Harry Potter 7. Okay. You read it. It was tough getting a hold of you this weekend. Well, yeah. As I told you, you know, Jonathan wanted me to go to some movies and all that. My idea was really simple. Getting Harry Potter. Nothing else matters. Yeah. I mean, look. Everyone out there... You followed me at around five on Sunday. It was... I finished it. Two-thirty. Okay. It's like done. Look, here's the thing. As we all know, it's, you know, the spoils are everywhere and, you know, it's... You read this whole series. So we've got to tell you right now... I'm not going to be spoiled. We have to tell you right now that we are going to spoil the shit out of Harry Potter 7. Right. So literally, I'm going to start doing this. Right. If you don't want to have a stopwatch... I'm going to wave my hands when you want to bring your volume back up. But let's be clear. These are spoilers several days after the book came out. So, you know, I mean, we're shooting this now. It won't be up for a couple of days. Just tell me right off the bat, were you satisfied with the book? Love the book. Okay. So it's a proper culmination of... It is. You know, JK Rowling does a really good job of pulling stuff that subtle things that she put in all the books that pay off, you know, things that you were wondering that end up really mattering in this 7th book. I mean, things even down to things like the fact that there's a reason why Harry's cloak is special and it's actually one of the Deathly Hallows. I mean, it's a big deal. It's not like anyone else's cloak. I mean, things like that really, really pay off. What is the Deathly Hallows? Well, that's a big part of what the book is about. Okay. So, and it's actually funny because every one of those books, you know, other than perhaps Sorcerer's Stone, you know, you see the title and you have no idea what that title means. Right. I mean, I've played Prince. You know, if you read the books before, you know what Half-Blood being. But you don't know who the Prince is. And that's the central mystery of that book is who is the Half-Blood Prince. So every one of these books has that mystery? Yeah. Yeah. That's definitely, I mean, well, Goblet of Fire, you find it right at the beginning. What the Goblet of Fire is. Right. But it's the experience. What the Goblet of Fire. But you find out pretty early in this book what the Deathly Hallows are, but how they actually contribute to the story. So you enjoyed the book? I love the book. It's a bloodbath. Yeah. Here's what's amazing about these books, you know. And I got to say, I got on the bandwagon a little bit later. I started reading them before the movies came out. I read the first four in a week. And then pretty shortly after the fourth book came out and then from there I've been waiting, like everybody else. And what really struck me is the first book is very much a children's book. And you're seeing the world and everything. I mean, Harry's narrating. And so it's from his perspective. And it starts off, it's narrated from a kid who's just becoming eleven. And she does this great job with every book. It's another year. And the perspective changes. It grows up. Pubes. Honestly, yes. Oh, wow. Yeah. Well, not so much that you see or hear about the pubes as much as you get a sentence going through adolescence. As you're reading it, notice his girls, gets infatuated, you know, violence. And you know, and these books get bloodier and bloodier. And this one's full on war. And it's a lot of death. You know, a lot of characters you really care about. All right. Here's a big one. Happens really early on. They kill the owl. Yeah. You told me that. And as my friend, Chris, he said, you don't kill the dog. You know, I mean, it's like, I mean, everyone I know that's ready. We're going like, no, not the owl. Because, you know, it's funny. I mean, those of us that especially, you know, it's like, who cares about people? You don't kill the faithful animal. Right. Well, she does. I mean, there's some death. It's a really bad way. Oh, not only does he get... Fried chicken? Yeah. Not only does it get fried. He then gets dropped and exploded. I mean, it's just... He's just dead. Have you really called it quite? Maybe he's just stunned. And then it's like, all right, see ya. Right. It's just dead. But I mean, there's some really big action scenes. I mean, you know, at this point, we've seen these other movies. It's like, you can just imagine this stuff on a big screen. Mm-hmm. You know, it's really fun. Another big spoiler point. At the end, they jump ahead 19 years. So they very firmly establish that, yes, Voldemort's gone. That there's been... The Goner did. Dead. Okay. That there's been no sign of Voldemort since. You know, that's well done. I have, you know, a couple little quibbles. So there's an epilogue. There's an epilogue. It's 19 years later. Oh, wow. Am I saying? Am we fully spoiling? No, no. Yeah, go for it. So, you know, they did the whole thing as we all thought that Harry's connected to Voldemort. And the whole idea did Harry have to die. Apparently the plan is he had to die. So he sacrifices himself to let Voldemort kill him. Then, of course, they do. I don't want to say it's a cop-out, but it's a spiritual mama where Voldemort really killed and killing him as he killed the part of himself that's attached to him, which actually becomes a very vital part of this whole thing in the sixth one about these Horcruxes. The Voldemort has split up his soul. And that unbeknownst to Voldemort when he connected with Harry the way he did, he made Harry one of them. So that part has to die in order to Voldemort to die. So you actually think towards the end of the book that Harry really has to die. And he accepts that he has to die. And he's going to die. He's going to sacrifice himself for all of his friends. Right. And this is a really great twist to me. I wouldn't do that. Just let you know. Yeah, I'm right. We know that. We know that. I wouldn't take a bullet in the ass. It's just a really great thing, though, that when you found that earlier in the books that Harry's protection was at his mother sacrificed herself. It's love. It's this old magic thing that Voldemort wouldn't understand. And then that Harry kind of plays possum when he comes back, this whole spiritual thing with Dumbledore. And it's this great thing where Voldemort- So he dies, he meets Dumbledore? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. And there's this great thing where Voldemort is- his power is just not that effective against everyone. Because Harry's basically- he's blessed with them. Right. He died for them even though he does come back. So is there a big Jesus thing in this book? Not Jesus in the sense of- I mean, it's not like a resurrection thing. Right. I mean, I've heard people say that Dumbledore is so perfect and makes the He's a Jesus character. I don't think- It's Harry a Jesus character because of this. I don't see Harry as a Jesus character, no. It's not that kind of resurrection. But you're Jewish. So I know, because Jesus was Jewish. Okay. I'm just making sure. Like, you guys killed the motherfucker. You don't hate on Jesus? No, no, no. The Romans killed Jesus. All right. Jewish Romans. I mean- Dude, I never read the motherfucker, all right? Yeah, you should read the- It was the Romans that killed Jesus. I never read the motherfucker. Well, yeah. All right. But this- I mean, I'm thinking Harry Potter was like the Bible. Back in the day, you know, you're living in some shack. You're up in England, you know, reading some shack. Right. Somebody drops like, you know, 1,300 so he drops the king. You read the King James? I don't ruin it for me. Don't ruin the King James for me. Shh! I'm waiting. I'm not reading spoilers. You know. That's what I'm thinking. I hear you. I hear you. Well, no, but I mean, they do a really good job of tying a lot of stuff together. I have to give my friend Christi credit for something. I hadn't really bothered at one point you see his parents graze and you see how old they were, and they were only 21 when they died, and I figured, shouldn't they have been older? Like, they seem like they, you know, heard about them. Why? People, like, really knew about them, but, you know, I mean- B.J. is only 16. Yeah. He's got, like, a beard. You can tell. But the thing is that, you know, this idea of his nape is that contemporary, and, you know, I mean, the he's so accomplished and Lucy's mouth was almost slightly older than, you know. But I mean, I think there's an idea in there that both one have been recruiting for a long time, because by the time Harry's parents were around, everyone knew who he was. He had been this big movement of sorts. There's some really, really powerful stuff in there. You know, I mean, I can go on and just keep spotting things. Did you cry? Did you cry at reading this book? I didn't cry, but I did. I teared up. I cared about some of these characters, you know, dying. Do I need to read the Bible before I read this? I mean, no, no. No. Well, I don't know. In some ways, I feel like the Bible feels a lot more like mythology than this does. You know, you just piss off a lot of people. Well, as you said, I'm Jewish. I'm already going to hell, right? So, is there a hell for you? I'm actually, yeah, the whole notion of it, the devil comes out of the Hebrew script. Don't look at me, man. I'm all, I'm all blasphemous. We were talking earlier this week about how cake ass Green Lantern is. Is the Green Lantern book, what? Oh, oh, I got away with my book. I got it. It's spoilers. Come back. Come back. It's not like Scooby-Doo. No. We're good. We're good. Transitioning? So at the end of Harry Potter. No, wait a second. It's the Green Lantern. Yes. It's the spoiler. Jonathan's a little bit behind. So, what you were saying was we were talking earlier about Green Lantern. Yes. And I told you. And the fact that you've been behind, I read Sinestro War when I got home and I immediately texted you. You must buy this book. Sinestro Corpse? Yes. And I went and got it, but I didn't read it until like a week or so later. I immediately called you, yeah, two weeks, and I read that and I went into Green Lantern. I'm telling you guys right now, what I told you in the Green Lantern books by Jeff Johns are probably the best superhero books being written and being published right now. Which is a huge scale. What they did, they tied all this great class of DC history together. This is what I thought 52 was going to be. This is what I thought, sorry guys, I'm blowing up all over the place. Yeah. Check your phone while we're doing that. That's cool. That's my brother. He'll be there. This is the writing's tight. Even for somebody like me who doesn't know that much about the DC continuity. Sir, so you said something like you, I thought you meant something that was slow. No, just stupid. Well, ignorant, but not? No. Yeah. Yeah. Right. So 52, I thought it was going to give us this. Countdown, it's sort of giving us more of this. But the Green Lantern books nail it. This is so well written. The artwork has been as good as it's always been with you've been written. Well, first of all, this is a complete and total perfect sequel. That's an Astrocore book. Was a perfect sequel to the Green Lantern rebirth miniseries which came out about two, three years ago. And brought Howard Jordan back. You can definitely get it and trade me back. The story is Howard Jordan got infected by parallax, who is just being feeds off your fears. Turned you into a bad motherfucker. So he wins. This is what's key. I mean, people know that Howard Jordan had gone bad years ago and they ended up killing them off. What John's did in that book is he brought him back using a device. He basically, since they'd already gotten rid of it with the Karaner character, they explained the whole yellow impurity, which impurists say, oh, it's great, they had the impurity. But it doesn't really make a lot of sense. The Guardians can come up with this, you know, this ultimate powerful weapon and it doesn't work on yellow. Yeah. The Green Lantern power is you can bring up anything. Right. But it doesn't work on yellow. It doesn't work on yellow. It doesn't work on yellow. Doesn't work on yellow. This creature within the battery and that's of the yellow impurity and it's the embodiment of fear. And that's what Parallax was. And that Sinestro, Green Lantern's old foe, had actually used how Jordan had a connection to the battery and he basically got inside Jordan's psyche when he was vulnerable. And he poisoned his psyche with the creature with Parallax. So all the bad that the Green Lantern had done was really Parallax had taken him over. But you know, it was a nice way to reset it and they were able to resurrect him and bring him back. And he's been back for a couple of years now. Now what do they do? Now they jumped to Sinestro Corps and you know, there were a lot of people. Sinestro was putting together his own core. Yeah. He's created yellow lanterns. Yes. Sinestro had had years ago gotten his own ring that was a yellow ring. So it used to be that, you know, they canceled each other out and he'd gotten it from the weaponers of cord, which were these beings that from the antimatter universe. You think it sounds stupid and it sucks? I did it at one point. Then I read it. I think it kicks ass. It's unbelievable. But then they just tied all this stuff together going back to infinite crisis, going back to Kyle Rayner's beginnings as a Green Lantern, going back to the whole reign of the Superman and the Death of Coast City, which led how Jordan to fall in the first place, the cyborg Superman. They've steadily been building this stuff up in the Green Lantern books. They had some backup stories with Tales of the Sinestro Corps to see what these beings are. They rely on miniseries, which is about Kyle Rayner and what you see as my daughter. Now he's got a power battery in him. Well, they didn't quite explain it other than that. He has this power. He's basically the torchbearers and he's going to re-light everything for the Corps because he's the one that brought the Corps back. The Green Lantern Corps. Yes. Yes. And basically, they end up tying it all together with, you know, after the infinite crisis, they had Superboy Prime stuck on OA. But this whole thing together, this big reveal, first of all, it turns out, an eye on Carl Rayner and his mother died. They kidnapped Kyle Rayner and he's saying, "Nothing you could do could make me fear." And he's like, "Really?" It turns around and turns around and says, "You know what? Meet this bottleist. This is one of the members of my Corps. He's this microscopic being that can just basically kill anyone by infecting him with this virus that no one can identify. Yeah. He killed your mother. Yeah. It wasn't cancer. It was this little guy who was living in the world. He killed your mother. Back to the fact that your girlfriend died because your Green Lantern, that your next two girlfriends died, and now on top of all that, we killed your mother too and it's your fault. Okay? Now, how do you feel? You're in that moment when he's feeling so such a despair, he pulls parallax out again, sticks him to Kyle Rayner. Okay? Yeah. So now, Kyle Rayner, who's the Green Lantern. That's where you turn the page and you see him infected and you're just like, "This is horrible." Yeah. Which is awesome. That's great if you like a kick-ass villain who's so tied to your hero. Right. And you think that's it. You figured that's it. It's done. And the book still goes on. Now, Sinaster leads him down the hall and you see all these emissaries and basically it's, "Who's behind all of it? How do you really pull it together? If you've been reading Countdown, you see they've brought the monitors back going back to the original crisis in Infinite Earth and the anti-monitor is behind all of it. And they're basically doing like the Neo before him kind of scene. And there you got the cyborg Superman, you got Superboy Prime, you got Sinestro, and you got the new Parallax, all Minions. This book made reading Countdown and Infinite Crisis worth it. Yeah. Because I thought Infinite Crisis turned into a big mess. I thought Countdown started as a big mess and I thought it was really good but the ending was a little lackluster. It's funny that DC will make the best book, the Green Lantern series because he's arguably not their top guy, I mean, you've got Batman, Superman, you got Wonder Woman. He's not one of the big three. What's the book you're going to pick up? Right. Not Green Lantern. Green Lantern is the book that really makes those huge crossovers worth reading. Well, that's because it's the cosmic book. It should be the cosmic book. It's, I mean, he's the space police man. I mean, that's what it is so you should see that big cosmic stuff start there. You guys know me as a Marvel zombie, you guys say that I don't, you know, don't do enough DC coverage. This is the best book being printed right now. Yeah, that book was seriously shit. I mean, when I get a text message from you, I know it's big time. Book of the Year. Wow. You going to go that far? All right. Right now. Yeah. Listen, don't get me wrong. There's some other books that blew my mind. Single issue? Yeah. Single issue. I might have to be with you on that one. Yeah. I mean, look. No, I got, hey. Captain America. Oh man, the last page on that Captain America where he's, where he's killed is huge, huge book. Um, and every issue since it's been great, you know, um, Alan Moore Swamp thing without it. I got to tell you that I first started reading recently. Are you kidding me? I'm just, please don't, don't turn this into something. Please. All right. You always do this. Don't do this. Please. I mean, that's, please hold on. I'll wait for it. It's been hard to get a trade. So I have the first trade. Well, I found the first trade and I read it in one sitting, Alan Moore before Watchman. This is a great book. Oh, yeah. It, it deals a lot of sphere stuff. Yeah. Well, changed everything. I can see now why, I mean, everybody gave such a valley who about this big swamp thing, Alan Moore run. Yeah. Guys, this is a great book. Changed everything. The writing. They don't know. You're just fine. If you're not talking about a book at your now I was 25 years old. Right. I got a trip, though. You know, our viewers want everything. They want the old and they want the new book. And I'm giving you the old by saying if you knock that into superhero books, don't be afraid of Alan Moore Swamp Thing. Cool. Alan Moore Swamp Thing is a great horror book. Oh, yeah. The concepts in this book, I felt like I was watching a, I felt like I was watching a really good Twilight Zone episode reading this stuff. It's scary because you have that book and then they did the movie and it's like, that movie becomes such a letdown when you read that book. Right. And we loved the movie as kids. But now you read this book. Because it had Adrienne Barbeau and her co-stars. That's right. Well, you know. Left it right in New York. Movie. Oh, yeah. But this was an incredibly well written deal in the artwork. You might think the artwork is dated. It's extremely dated, but it still supports the writing extremely well. Abby still hot in it. Mm-hmm. I mean, this is the way of, I mean, I never got the appeal. You read a bunch of interviews with old comic writers. They all love the E.C. timely horror stuff. Yeah. They love that stuff. They quote the horror books as getting them into comics. We came after that. We came in the midst of superheroes. We never had a big market for horror because they've all been, they've all been devastated from that point. This is why I can see someone jonesing for horror books. When you look, I mean, everyone knows Alan Moore is this incredible genius. I mean, you really look at his career, you see that he really understands the history of comics. And he's gravitated to those things that are a little bit off of, you know, what's more typical for American audiences. I mean, Swamp Thing was something he did, you know, that really got him noticed. Right. Yeah, you're right. He brought horror back. I literally felt like I was watching an amazing Twilight. Watchmen is essentially what he did is he took all those Charlton characters. I mean, most people definitely have to look, understand that that was originally the original pitch was to take those Charlton characters and use them to tell this great dystopian tale. And a lot of those D.C. owned, like Blue Beetle and Zana. Yeah. Well, D.C. had bought a, you know, had bought this at the universe. So it's, it's more than not, I mean, they're represented. You know, I mean, same thing, you know, more recently, you know, where he's gone to the Science Heroes, you know, his ABC line. And then much more recently, he's actually done a resurgence of old British comics. Right. Well, he's done those old, and he's done old pulp books with the, with the, with the, the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Right. He did these old, um, so that was more something incredible, um, video games, Lauren, I got a free copy of Tiger Woods Calloff. Well, you jumped to video games, what did you want to talk about? Well, you know, I mean, we haven't told some comics in a while. I mean, I feel the last time I was on-- Well, how much time do we have? I mean, friends. Like 10 minutes. We got 10 minutes. We got 10 minutes. So look, what, you're jumping off comics. Let's see what happens for a minute. Why? We've only got 10 more minutes. I got to do video games. We can even talk about the, the scroll invasion of the Marvel universe. Ah, you know what? That scroll invasion of the Marvel universe. Dude, you know what's going to happen. Yeah, the crease scroll war over again. No, forget that. Civil wars, Tony Stark's going to turn out that he knew and that's what this is all about. That's what the Civil War is about. How can you say that? That's what I think. Did you experience your theory? Yeah. Tony Stark sees it coming. He's a futurist. He knows something's going on. And the whole Civil War is that he doesn't know who he can trust. By doing the registration, he can figure out who is and who isn't a scroll. And he can also-- He has his arm in life. You say Bendis, is that smart? Yeah. Bendis around this. Okay. Yeah. I think he's playing off it. I think that, you know, I mean, look, Miller did the original Civil War thing. But Bendis is part of the planning. I think that's where it's going. That's not a bad idea. I don't like what you just said. Tony gets the Subbriars to register to find out who's a scroll and who isn't. There's a moment-- But if he's a scroll, I know a lot of people saying that. I don't think so. I know people are arguing. He was behind this. This broke us up. So that means-- and listen, that argument's in Avengers 32. Right. It's in there. But, you know, there's a scene in Mighty Avengers when they're talking about going after the new Avengers and the Renegade team. And, you know, there's an exchange between Ms. Marvel and him. And he's like, you know, we have to do it because if we don't, they'll send someone else, it's better if we do it. And it's just, you know, there's the number of moments like that where Tony knows something's going on. That's what the whole new Avengers, Bendis' whole thing with Avengers has been about. There's something not right in the Marvel Universe. And then this Mighty Avengers where Tony Stark gets taken over by this Ultron virus. I'm still waiting to see where the hell that's going. I mean, how does this work in your magic plan? Well, honestly, I'm still waiting to see how that works since he is flesh and blood. Obviously, you know, since that storyline takes place and it's, you know, however many issues till it's done, it's all happening in one day that he doesn't stay that way. Right. So, maybe he doesn't recover, maybe a scroll takes his place. Huh? I don't think I'm in this scroll. All right. Honestly, I'm going to be really, really in this scroll. Who do you think is the scroll? Who do you think is the scroll? Here's the thing. Who has her own books as a scroll? I mean, maybe it would be great if Marvel actually did that and had the ball to say, "Oh, here's a character though, I'm bugging her a scroll." It's Luke Cage and Jessica Drew, it's Luke Cage. My opinion? Luke isn't. She is. You think she is? Yes. You think the baby is? Yes. Okay. Because they hinted that the baby may be a scroll. The eyes glow. Right. The end of your 31. They didn't touch the end of your 32. So can we do video games now? Okay. All right. Tiger Woods. For the Wii. Tried it. Sorry, Scott Gloucester. I'm in one of our past guests who loves Tiger Woods. It's boring as hell. But for you PlayStation fans, the PS4 and Golf are on your count. No shit. Why didn't you think it wasn't going to be boring? I think Golf is boring as itself. You know what's boring? Soccer. Okay. Have you been seeing all this coverage? We were in a restaurant yesterday and Laura started going nuts because they're showing soccer. Football. Football to many people. Dude. I don't care if Beck comes over here. We still don't care about soccer. Do you agree with me? I agree with you. Now his wife has this reality show. Yeah. Dude. Send them back. Yeah. Can we send them back? Yeah. Go back to England. Bend it. Go bend it back there because we don't care. Yeah. We see a bandit. We're talking about something different. Dude. We don't care about soccer, because I think soccer is just hockey on grass. When Jordan cares, they don't think about an Ackermann, at least later he won't be. We don't care. Oh yeah. Big time. We don't care about soccer. We don't care about hockey. You know? Yeah. What? Hockey. Hockey is Northern. No, but hockey is. Soccer is in the hat that they had their little strike and that they killed it. Well, soccer has never reached that. No. Hasn't happened. Um, send them back. They're annoying. Raise their ads and you're just like, dude. Yeah. You don't care. You're cash in. Um, we don't, we don't have aspirations of being in Hollywood. It's like, dude, your wife has a show. Right. Don't lie to us. What about her? They don't regain your tour. Each one of them is going to get $20 million. Oh yeah. We can't wait to see the Spice Girls. Um, do another movie. Um, you know what's great? The newest, the new PSP they've announced has TV outcables, so you can put it into your TV and you can play this portable. When you get home, you can play it on the big screen. Uh, they've announced this for coming out in September. I'm going to get one of these things. I'm going to get this new PSP. Um, it's thinner. I've got some pictures going right now of this new PSP, but they announced it at E3. And um, for those of you guys who are big, you know, PlayStation fans, I haven't been giving you much love because personally, I can't afford a PS3. They don't have a whole lot of gains for it, but I'm going to slowly start getting one of these things. Two or four days. Yes. Three is like 600 bucks. Yeah. And now they brought it down a little bit. 100, but only so they could phase out the 60 gigabytes, it's going to go right back up for the 80 gigabytes. No, yeah. It's a deal. The PSP, I'm into more because I can, I feel like I can take it places like watch movies off of it. I got my Wii. I got my, my, my 360. I've got my DS. So you have everything about a PS3 and a PSP, but now that this thing is coming out and it's not going to be going to be more expensive, it's going to be the same price, but it's nicer. Mind you, if anyone listening out there, if Sony wants to be a sponsor, he'll take one. Oh, absolutely. I'll take a PS3 if you want me to talk about it. Just saying. Just saying. I'm not covering PS3 yet, but I'd like to get one for VJ2, right, Vij? And I mentioned it. So, you know, you take, you don't play a lot of new games. You know, you buy them and then you don't play them because I'm reading books. I read. What is that? I watch everything. I mean, something has to give. There's only so many hours in a day. So speaking of giving. I really want to play. We're going to do forums real quick. Our forums can be found at geekscape.net/ forums. The forum this week is So You Got A Girl Pregnant. Started by Deperitas, one of our forum members. And So You Got A Girl Pregnant. What would you name the kid? It's assuming you can have sex with an opposite sex. Jopi said Elliot after Elliot Smith. My question is, what if it's a girl? Who is this? Elliot can be a girl. Elliot? Elliot. Elliot could be a girl. There you go. What would you name, what would you name yours? Have you never watched Scrubs? Be thinking about what you name yours. Oh, I'm on Scrubs. Diva Dogg said Audrey, Toby, and Brent. That's nice. Otto Musk, he's been watching some BSG, Athena, Helios, Odysseus, and Aos. That's a bit-- Sounds a little wrapped up in mythology. Yeah. I mean, be thinking. Laura, get out of here. We're going to talk about what we would name our kids if I could not shoot blanks. Laura? Cheers when I eat part of it. Get out of here. So, Delacommen said Niko. That's a cute name. Helen Bot said Zafod or Moon unit. It's fucking 100 degrees. Yeah. Get over here. Zafod is very cool. Zafod. Well, that's what the Zaf is. Name their kids. Yeah. But, no, Zafod is from history. Ah, he took it through out of the galaxy. Oh, there you go. Oh. You don't know that? What am I? You don't know that? Get out of here with us. You've never looked up. You've never looked up. We're talking about what we would name our kids. Have you ready to talk about a galaxy? I don't read. Alright. Alright. Write the book on my day. Oh. Vijay. Hitchhiker. I'm sorry. Am I the only one? I want to hear. I want to hear from your... Is it my the only one that's right in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy? No. Yes. No. No. Well, not here. In this room. In this room, yeah. Throw your people. Throw your people. I saw the movie. Okay. So, fantastic books. What would you name your kid? Well, I have to give you those, don't I? What would I name? What... What would you name your kid? What? Good name for kids. You forgot the rest of it. Yeah. I think there's more to the question. The forum is if you got your... If you got a girl pregnant or if you got pregnant, what would you name your kid? Take him. No. I just say now you're so smart. You had... You had an answer earlier. What would you do? You said number 1745 for $250. That was $250. That's what you would name your kid. I like it. Check number 245 for... Yeah. I guess that would be the name for my kid too. Well, maybe. Yeah. I saw you, buddy, along those lines said, "If I got a girl pregnant, I would sneak out at night and make sure she never finds me. I work with kids and I know I don't want one. They make awful noises and they cost money and I would rather spend on something else." Good one. Sneak out at night! It's like... Where? Once I lost it. It's like he's fine. Yeah. So, he's 15 years old. Let me 15. So, let's wrap this up. Vijay, what would you name your kid? You don't know? Pick a name. Pick a name, Vijay. What? Jenna? That's cute. That's cute. That's cute, Vijay. What about a guy? I don't know. But you... Do you want a girl? Whatever. What? Ian? What? Throw some names out here. What am I... Look, I don't want to put this out there. Maybe I want to keep my name. I had a good name, but then I knew I wouldn't have a child. So I named my N10 dog. That's cute. That's cute. That's true. That name was Ronan. Oh, yeah. You gave that to N10 dog? I like Ronan Daniel. Oh, that's cute. That's what I like. Ronan, R-O-N-A-N or R-O-N-I-N. R-O-N-I-N. To a comic geek, it's actually important. That's huge. Cuz R-O-N-A-N is like Ronan the accuser. Bad guy. Well, not after I arrived without, you know, like... Yes. Master with Sam. You're the guy who reads an inhalation? Yeah. So listen, guys. Actually, a lot of you... Not even rocks. I know. I heard it rocked. Oh, I gotta pick it up in trade. Guys, I'm sorry. That's our episode. We have so much more we could talk about. We're gonna have to see you next week in San Diego. Come on! We got a... Come on! We have a Myspace crew. Come on! Myspace.com. Geekscape.net. T-shirts. Go get 'em at geekscape.net and, of course, check out our forums. Tote. Tote bags. Kick ass. They're $5 now. I dropped the prize. Surprise. Surprise. Thank you so much, Ian. Thank you. Yes you will. I like how you were upset. We hadn't talked about comics enough. Well, every time. I know. Every time. There's never enough time. Good to see you. You too? Good to see you again. I was in charge of our days and our nights. And our nights. Oh. Those are days and our nights. Those days and... Days and... In life? I thought it was days and nights. Charles in charge of our wrongs and our rights. Right. There could be. I didn't really watch Charles in charge all that much.
