Episode 156 - Medieval Spawn 2 and Spawn 366

[00:00:00] Speaker A: I've been doing this for a thousand years. [00:00:03] Speaker B: Don't worry about me. Foreign. [00:00:38] Speaker A: And welcome to the Malibu. This is regarding Spawn, the world's best Spawn podcast. I am your co host, John Fisher. [00:00:46] Speaker B: And I am your co host, David Williams. And Johnny. The. The Criterion Closet truck is supposed to be here in town for the Chicago International Film Fest this weekend. [00:00:59] Speaker A: I saw that. [00:01:00] Speaker B: That's. I would. I would totally go to it, but I knew that there would be a line of. A long line of people much cooler than me waiting to get in. [00:01:10] Speaker A: Can you buy them from the truck? [00:01:13] Speaker B: Like, what would be the point of having the truck if you couldn't buy stuff from the truck? [00:01:16] Speaker A: I thought, like, people just like. I thought, like, celebrities just went in there and picked their favorites and left. [00:01:23] Speaker B: I think. I think for. At a certain level of celebrity, like, they let you take a couple of them for free. [00:01:30] Speaker A: Yeah, because, like, that's what I always see is like the Criterion closet, like, the director goes in there, is like, oh, this is my favorites, and like, goes through them. [00:01:36] Speaker B: But. But I can't imagine that that's something that you could do sustainably for no people who don't give you any. [00:01:44] Speaker A: What would you pick from the Criterion truck? [00:01:46] Speaker B: Oh, boy. Well, the problem is I would have to know it's all on Criterion first. [00:01:52] Speaker A: Yeah, I know. The ones I would pick, like. Right. I know, like, True Stories. I would really like is David Burns movie of Talking Heads where he's. [00:02:00] Speaker B: He's just like in a mall and he follows different people. [00:02:03] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:02:03] Speaker B: Yeah. That's a fun one. [00:02:05] Speaker A: That's really good. I'm trying to think other ones. I mean, I'll take all of them. They're good movies, right? [00:02:12] Speaker B: Really, really? Any of them. Any of them would be good. Good with me. Yeah, I would probably choose one contemporary, one translated and one super fucking old. If they let you do multiples. I would probably also go by the box art because that's a fun way to. If I'm at a bookstore and I need to decide which book to choose and it's got it between two of them. Well, the one that looks cooler. [00:02:34] Speaker A: They've got some good box art in the Criterion Collection. [00:02:37] Speaker B: Yeah, Yeah. I had the. The Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Criterion Collection, and it had that really cool Ralph Steadman wraparound cover. [00:02:45] Speaker A: That's cool. I always wanted the Brazil one. [00:02:49] Speaker B: Man, what a wacky movie. The. The wackiest part about Brazil is it's like barely even satire anymore. And that's what makes me sad. I want satire. To be inconceivably ludicrous again. Johnny, please. [00:03:05] Speaker A: I'm trying to think of ones. [00:03:06] Speaker B: Just for like, five minutes. [00:03:07] Speaker A: Fight Club. Not that ridiculous. [00:03:10] Speaker B: No. [00:03:10] Speaker A: Proud Boys. Think about it. [00:03:13] Speaker B: I try not to think about Proud. [00:03:14] Speaker A: Boys, Gone Girls kind of satire, but I could see someone. I mean, the age of social media and, like, murder, true crime, it's really not that far fetched. [00:03:22] Speaker B: Yeah. Also that's. That's a bit of the Stockholm syndrome stuff. [00:03:29] Speaker A: Sure. Is it? [00:03:31] Speaker B: Right. Cause, well. Cause, like, he escapes and then he comes back. Right. [00:03:35] Speaker A: In Gone Girl. [00:03:36] Speaker B: In Gone Girl, he escapes. I haven't seen Gone Girl, and I thought it was. She becomes the crazy. Is there a movie where it's the lady that's the crazy? And the guy's like, fuck it, I gotta get out of here. And then, like, she continues to be crazy, and he's like, I value my life. I must come back. Is that a movie? [00:03:54] Speaker A: I don't know. That is not the plot to go. [00:03:55] Speaker B: Oh, boy. I thought that. I thought that was the. I thought that was Gone Girl. Wow. I should probably watch it before I try to comment on it, huh? [00:04:02] Speaker A: Yeah, it's a really good. You haven't. You haven't seen it at all, huh? [00:04:05] Speaker B: No. [00:04:05] Speaker A: Oh, my God, no. Great. [00:04:08] Speaker B: I had. I had no desire for that kind of. My understanding of the story, Johnny, I have no desire for. [00:04:16] Speaker A: It's about a woman who was murdered by her husband, possibly, and it turns out to be a much bigger story. [00:04:22] Speaker B: Oh, it's. It's because she wasn't. Like. She faked the murder. [00:04:25] Speaker A: Yes. [00:04:26] Speaker B: Okay. That's what it is. And then he comes. They get back together at the end. Right? [00:04:30] Speaker A: Did you get back together? [00:04:31] Speaker B: Okay, so all the ingredients. All the. The flavor was there, but the ingredients. [00:04:35] Speaker A: Yeah, it was close, but I was like. [00:04:38] Speaker B: That's what happens when you. When you try to piece together a picture from unknown pieces, from people talking. [00:04:47] Speaker A: About it in pop culture, from listening. [00:04:48] Speaker B: To podcasts where they talk about movies. [00:04:50] Speaker A: That you've never seen, because you probably listened to the blank check on that, because they did Fincher. [00:04:55] Speaker B: I did. Yes, I did. [00:04:57] Speaker A: Yes. So similar. Yeah. So, yeah, he kind of had, like the. [00:05:01] Speaker B: I. I knew there was. There was. There was something sketchy. [00:05:03] Speaker A: There's some. There's some. It's not really Stockholm syndrome, but. Yeah, it's really good, though. And perfect movie for Valentine's Day. [00:05:14] Speaker B: Did you say Galentine's Day? [00:05:16] Speaker A: Valentine's Day. [00:05:17] Speaker B: Okay. For both. You watch it the day before the day. It could be, yeah. Interesting. Interesting. I should I should probably watch it. I like adventure. [00:05:27] Speaker A: Yeah, man, I just. [00:05:29] Speaker B: Oof. [00:05:29] Speaker A: I just flew in from Branson and boy, are my arms tired. [00:05:35] Speaker B: You're hanging out with all those Canadian geese. Coming south for the winter, Johnny. [00:05:38] Speaker A: Yeah, I didn't fly to Branson. I drove to Branson. [00:05:41] Speaker B: Yeah, because it only takes like what, three and a half, four hours from. [00:05:44] Speaker A: I was like 2:45. [00:05:46] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, yeah. It's real quick. [00:05:49] Speaker A: It's a quick getaway. [00:05:51] Speaker B: In high school, we had a couple of like day field trips to Branson. And just even on a bus, it's only like three hours and 20 minutes. [00:05:58] Speaker A: Yeah, it's close. [00:06:01] Speaker B: Nice. How was it? What'd you see? Did you see all. Did you see the Legends of. Of Branson? [00:06:06] Speaker A: I saw Silver Door City. [00:06:07] Speaker B: Oh, hell yeah. [00:06:08] Speaker A: I didn't go to any shows. I went to Silver Dollar City and I went to the place that does the throwed rolls. [00:06:13] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, Lambert's. [00:06:15] Speaker A: Lambert's. [00:06:16] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:06:16] Speaker A: Home of the throat roll. [00:06:17] Speaker B: Throw rolls. [00:06:19] Speaker A: And I got a chicken fried steak. [00:06:21] Speaker B: Hell yeah. Was it like flopping over the sides of the plate? [00:06:24] Speaker A: It was on a. Served in a skillet. [00:06:26] Speaker B: Oh, nice. [00:06:28] Speaker A: And it was big. [00:06:29] Speaker B: Hell yeah. [00:06:30] Speaker A: Mashed potatoes on it. And I got corn. [00:06:32] Speaker B: Hell yeah. [00:06:33] Speaker A: And Mac and cheese. [00:06:35] Speaker B: That sounds fucking amazing. [00:06:37] Speaker A: It was really good. And I got throw it roll. And they do other stuff too. I'd been there before, but I don't remember this. They do other pass arounds now. [00:06:44] Speaker B: Okay. [00:06:44] Speaker A: So they bring by. They have okra, fried okra in a big pot. And they just give free. [00:06:48] Speaker B: Oh, hell yeah. [00:06:49] Speaker A: And they have, they have fried taters that they bring around. Just like potatoes they bring around. [00:06:55] Speaker B: That's awesome. [00:06:56] Speaker A: And they have. I feel like there's something else that might have been it, but. Oh, they had like macaroni and tomato. I don't know what that. I didn't get any because I don't. [00:07:05] Speaker B: Have like, like, like pasta salad. [00:07:07] Speaker A: I don't know. I think so because it was in this pot I couldn't see in. And I was like, no, I don't need any. [00:07:12] Speaker B: All right. [00:07:13] Speaker A: But I think, yeah, I think like a pasta salad type thing. [00:07:15] Speaker B: Nice, man. I would, I would be literally the one and only stop for that fried okra person. Every time I'd be like, oh, I got so. [00:07:23] Speaker A: I got so much like getting it all. I had fried okra in like probably like six or seven years. [00:07:27] Speaker B: Oh, it's so good. Everyone, I. I grow it. So every once in a while we, we get up the nerve to, to cook Some. It's just. It's the process, but it's delicious. Holy shit. I fucking love fried okra. [00:07:38] Speaker A: It is very good, man. [00:07:40] Speaker B: You ever been to Del Rancho, Johnny? [00:07:42] Speaker A: Del Rancho? [00:07:43] Speaker B: Del Rancho? Yeah, they got the chicken fried steak sandwich. [00:07:46] Speaker A: No, I never been. [00:07:47] Speaker B: There's. There's one. There's a couple in Oklahoma City and then there's one down in Tahlequah. [00:07:52] Speaker A: Okay. [00:07:53] Speaker B: But as a Tulsa person, I have a feeling you don't have much need to go to Tahlequah. [00:07:58] Speaker A: Probably not. [00:07:59] Speaker B: Probably not. [00:07:59] Speaker A: I'm in the big city, baby. [00:08:01] Speaker B: Yeah, it's like, it's like 25 minutes away from Muskogee, so. [00:08:04] Speaker A: Okay. [00:08:04] Speaker B: Everybody was just going to Tahlequah all the time. Yeah, I also, I also hung out with a lot of Cherokee and that's where the Cherokee Health System is based. [00:08:13] Speaker A: Oh, cool. Yeah, I wanted some coasters. First time I ate fried okra for the first time in a long time. I went to some roller coasters the first time in a long time. [00:08:22] Speaker B: Immediately after having the fried okra. [00:08:24] Speaker A: No, it's the next day. But I did hilariously. Me and my brother, we traumatized my poor dear 70 year old mother because we were. She was like, I'll go on like a regular wooden roller coaster. We were like, okay, here's one. It's just a wooden roller coaster. It was called Outlaws Run. And we were like, it looks like a wooden roller coaster. Didn't read anything about it. Didn't read the sign went on. First of all, it started with an 81 degree drop. It went 70, 68 miles an hour. And it had three corkscrews. [00:09:08] Speaker B: Oh, man. [00:09:09] Speaker A: The only thing she told us is I don't want to go upside down. So I'm terrified. My first time on a roller coaster in 10 years. I feel like I'm like, I'm gonna die. Like, I was like, there's no question. Like, when we got over that, like, going up the hill was the most excruciating thing of my life. Like, just clunk, clunk, clunk, clunk, clunk, clunk, clunk. And I had no idea what you're in store for we get over that hill. And I was like, oh. And the first corkscrew, me and my brother both started screaming. I'm so sorry, Mom, Mom, I'm sorry. If she got off, she's like, well, I'm not ever riding a roller coaster for the rest of my life. [00:09:47] Speaker B: Nice. Nice. Well, I, I guess this means that you, you owe her an absolutely. Bitching. Birthday and or Christmas present. Johnny. I do. [00:09:57] Speaker A: I'm getting her a roller coaster. A season pass to coaster Town. [00:10:01] Speaker B: They probably. They. They probably make a little commemorative Christmas tree ornament of that roller coaster. [00:10:09] Speaker A: They had it. Yeah, they had it. [00:10:11] Speaker B: Oh, man. [00:10:12] Speaker A: You should. [00:10:12] Speaker B: You should get that for her for Christmas. So that way relive the trauma. Every Christmas. [00:10:16] Speaker A: Every Christmas tree. I can't believe you boys did that to me. [00:10:19] Speaker B: And you and your brother could be like, hey, mom, remember this? Oh, that was a great day. [00:10:23] Speaker A: Yeah. That was my first mistake at Silver Dollar City. My second mistake is I really wanted to ride the old ride called Fire in the Hole. [00:10:31] Speaker B: Okay. [00:10:32] Speaker A: Which is like. It's like a dark ride that kind of like Pirates of the Caribbean. You're like, go. It's like. It's actually just a ripoff of Pirates of Caribbean, but it has a drop at the end. I don't remember if Pirates of Caribbean does or not. [00:10:43] Speaker B: No, it doesn't. [00:10:44] Speaker A: It's just like a go around, right? [00:10:45] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:10:46] Speaker A: So this one, it's like Pirates Caribbean. There's like a plot. There's this group of vigilantes that lived in the Ozarks called the Bald Knobbers. [00:10:54] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:10:54] Speaker A: And they're like causing havoc in this town. Like, it catches on fire and it's all like. There's just fire everywhere. And you go down this one drop at the end. It probably was built in the 70s. I don't know. It's really old. I like it. So you should go on as a kid. And I was like, let's all go on it. Yeah, it'll be fun. Two and a half hour wait in the line. [00:11:15] Speaker B: Oh, geez. [00:11:17] Speaker A: I was like. By the time we almost. We were like about to get on there, I was like, please God, just let this line be over. I was like, I can't do it anymore. But we made it on and it was about five minutes and everyone hated it but me. [00:11:32] Speaker B: Oh, man, that's. That's wonderful, Jenny. Yeah. [00:11:36] Speaker A: But other than that, there's some other good. We went on some good coasters that weren't traumatizing. [00:11:41] Speaker B: Nice. [00:11:41] Speaker A: The pirate ship that swings. [00:11:43] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. I love the pirate ship. I. I also love the videos on the Internet of people who throw up at the top of the pirate ship. [00:11:52] Speaker A: And then by the wall. [00:11:54] Speaker B: Yeah. And then it like catches up with them when they're at the bottom of the swing. And so just everybody gets covered. Oh, boy. Rip to all these people. Because I was. [00:12:02] Speaker A: You've seen videos of that? [00:12:03] Speaker B: Yeah. I would much rather Die than be covered in somebody else's puke like that, so. [00:12:07] Speaker A: Oh, that'd be awful. [00:12:08] Speaker B: Yeah. No, the pirate ship. Pirate ship is fun. [00:12:13] Speaker A: It's a classic. [00:12:14] Speaker B: Yeah, I like. I like looking at the little tires that spin it down there at the bottom, slicking it. [00:12:19] Speaker A: I was. I was. I was staring at that tire. [00:12:21] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:12:23] Speaker A: To ground myself. Because I don't like heights, but I like roller coasters. [00:12:28] Speaker B: Hey, Johnny, we all. We're all a little bit attracted to the things we don't like. [00:12:32] Speaker A: I'm not attracted. I realize I'm like. I'm like, like I realized in this trip I'm, like, afraid of heights now, I guess. [00:12:38] Speaker B: All right. Yeah, well, don't become a roofer, I guess. [00:12:41] Speaker A: No, I was thinking that. I was thinking about people that, like, have to clean windows in New York City. [00:12:46] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, that sounds terrifying. Yeah. [00:12:50] Speaker A: That was your job. [00:12:51] Speaker B: No, I could not. [00:12:52] Speaker A: I would get paid well. [00:12:54] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, they get hazard pay. I would much rather be the. In like, one of the rock climbing harnesses than on the planet Platform that moves down. [00:13:01] Speaker A: Oh, that just gave me the heebie jeebies. [00:13:04] Speaker B: You could never get me on one of those platforms. [00:13:06] Speaker A: No, I did the rock climber for sure. [00:13:08] Speaker B: I have a friend whose dad used to change the light bulbs at the top of, like, the telephone towers and shit, like way up there. And they've got a. They've got a height requirement before they're actually required to be clipped to the. Clipped to the. To the tower. And it's something ridiculous like 1500ft or something like that is before they're required to be clipped. [00:13:34] Speaker A: That's making my stomach hurt. And, oh, boy, it's making me uncomfortable. [00:13:40] Speaker B: There's. There was the. The guy who changes the light bulbs at the top of the antennas on the John Hancock center will videotape it when he does it. And he's just up there like, ah, I'm up here on top of this antenna and like, the standing space is like this big. [00:13:59] Speaker A: And it's just like making the balls hurt. They're like shrinking up into my throat. [00:14:05] Speaker B: Yeah, it's. It's. It's. It's an awesome feeling being scared shitless, isn't it, Johnny? I love it because it's. Because it's Halloween times. [00:14:13] Speaker A: It is Halloween. So I guess just put me on top of a tall building. And that's why, like, that's my Halloween. [00:14:19] Speaker B: So what you're saying is to. To scare both you and your mother, somebody shows up as a big building and you go, ah. And Then somebody's friend shows up as the plane that goes into it. And then your mother goes, what? 9 11. A 911 costume joke. Because you're scared of the heights and she's scared of terrorism. [00:14:41] Speaker A: Why is she scared of terrorism? [00:14:43] Speaker B: Why wouldn't she be scared of terrorism, John? Terror is in the name. [00:14:46] Speaker A: I don't know. Yeah, I guess you're right. [00:14:49] Speaker B: I have a feeling that your mom doesn't appreciate a 911 joke because terror, she takes it much more seriously than we. [00:14:55] Speaker A: Oh, she does? [00:14:56] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. So that's why it would be a good. A good Halloween costume. To scare your mother. [00:15:01] Speaker A: Yeah. Okay. I'm dressing up as 911 then. [00:15:04] Speaker B: Yeah, I guess. Either that or you could dress up as the outlaw Roller coaster. [00:15:09] Speaker A: Outlaws Run. [00:15:10] Speaker B: Outlaws Run. That sounds like a Star wars game. Outlaws Run. [00:15:15] Speaker A: It does. I mean the. I think the Star wars ride and Disneyland is called something Run. [00:15:24] Speaker B: Smugglers Run. [00:15:25] Speaker A: Smugglers Run. Yeah. [00:15:27] Speaker B: Is it supposed to be through the fucking whatchamajigger? The parsec based. [00:15:35] Speaker A: No, it's not. The Kessel Run. [00:15:36] Speaker B: The Kessel Run, that's what it's called. There's a. There's an episode of Clone Wars. Is it Clone wars or Rebels where they go through the Kessel Run? [00:15:43] Speaker A: It's on Solo. [00:15:47] Speaker B: Well, no, because that's other people doing the Kessel Run, not Han Solo. Okay, probably so, because. Because it's in. It's in. It's in Solo. Yes, but there's a. One of the Animated Series has some people being like, oh, we got to do the Kessel Run. I don't wanna kind of thing. [00:16:05] Speaker A: Kessel run less than 12 parsecs. [00:16:07] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah, 12. 12. [00:16:14] Speaker A: Well, speaking of 12. Yeah, it's been 12 fucking hours since we started this episode and we haven't started about talked about Swan yet. [00:16:23] Speaker B: Johnny. That sounds pretty normal. [00:16:25] Speaker A: Sounds a little normal, but sounds like. [00:16:27] Speaker B: We might be trying to avoid it a little bit. [00:16:30] Speaker A: Just one of them. I'm not avoiding it. It's just like it's gonna be tough to talk about. [00:16:38] Speaker B: It's. It's. Yeah. [00:16:40] Speaker A: It's gonna take time, Father. [00:16:45] Speaker B: Yeah, it is unbridled. Todd McFarlane. [00:16:49] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:16:50] Speaker B: Let him off the leash. [00:16:52] Speaker A: He's the. The dog is loose. [00:16:55] Speaker B: Yeah. I don't even think there's a dog anymore. I think you're just looking at the spot where you're. You last saw your dog as he was running away. [00:17:03] Speaker A: No, it's just like boom. And there's just a leash and a collar like hanging in midair and the dog is Running so fast, it just disappears. [00:17:09] Speaker B: There's like a dust cloud in the shape of Dog from where he was. [00:17:12] Speaker A: Exactly. [00:17:13] Speaker B: It's just all his loose hair fell off. [00:17:17] Speaker A: Yeah, man. We have a pretty good one before that. [00:17:21] Speaker B: Yeah, that's true. It's a solid. It's a. It's a decent. It's a decent roundup. [00:17:27] Speaker A: Yes. It's a good roundup. And that's what we do here on Respawn is we round up Spawn, and each week we bring you two issues with Spawn's universe. Except when we do not. Mm. This week is no different. We have two issues from Spawn's universe. [00:17:42] Speaker B: Absolutely. [00:17:44] Speaker A: First up, medieval spawn number two. [00:17:47] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:17:49] Speaker A: Followed by the one we were talking about. Spawn 366. Mainline spawn 366. [00:17:59] Speaker B: It's. It's. [00:18:00] Speaker A: Oh, boy. It's a doozy. [00:18:03] Speaker B: I very much enjoy that. Something as ludicrous as spawn 366. It gets put together and sent out and purchased and read by people. It's fascinating. [00:18:19] Speaker A: I don't want to say, like, I don't agree with, like, the statement, like, it's so bad. It's good. [00:18:23] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:18:24] Speaker A: It's just. It is. It is so over the top. So much. Like. [00:18:33] Speaker B: I. I don't even think it's, like, it's not cohesive enough to even be called bad. It's just like, they smushed a whole bunch of stuff together. And we're like, yeah, that. That works. That's an issue. Next. [00:18:44] Speaker A: Well, this whole recent thing, he gets, like, stuck on things. And like, the whole thing here is like, people getting sucked into big bodies. [00:18:52] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:18:53] Speaker A: Sneaking out. [00:18:54] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:18:54] Speaker A: That happened in Gunslinger as well. Around the same time. [00:18:57] Speaker B: Body second. Yeah. [00:18:58] Speaker A: Lot. Lots of body sucking. And then the rules. There's so many rules in this one. There's so many, like, rules and mechanisms that we're just like, oh, yeah, of course. If you put the orb into the bubble. Yeah, it's going to do this. And it's like, what is going on? [00:19:12] Speaker B: And just, like, shit. Tons more characters. I feel like the Todd father, like, maybe Thomas Healey for a long time was like, todd, you can't put a new character in this book this week. You gotta wait. I feel. I feel like he's just, like, hit a critical mass of new characters. And it's just like, I gotta get him in there. [00:19:30] Speaker A: Well, that's my theory, is that Thomas Healey started working on Book of Nicks and can't keep a close eye on Todd as he used to. [00:19:40] Speaker B: Yeah. It's like, it's like, kids, if you aren't actively watching them, then they're doing exactly what you told them not to do. [00:19:48] Speaker A: Yeah. Like introducing Taylor as a superhero kind of off screen. [00:19:56] Speaker B: After we haven't seen him for a really long time. He just, like, left. Waya's like, he left wires off screen too. [00:20:03] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:20:04] Speaker B: Like, they get back and he's like. Javi's like, where's Taylor? And Wyatt's like, he left. [00:20:10] Speaker A: He left. He went to the mainline Spawn and became a weird looking dude. [00:20:15] Speaker B: Yeah. The unspecified as of yet superhero powers. [00:20:22] Speaker A: Taytay is gonna be his name. [00:20:25] Speaker B: Taytay is actually somebody who lives on my street. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He gave himself a new nickname that he introduced himself to me as. And so every time I say hi to him with his preferred nickname that he gave me, everybody around him, he starts to laugh and they're like, tay, Tay. Really? You have him call you that? [00:20:47] Speaker A: What did they say his nickname was? [00:20:49] Speaker B: No, no, Taytay is his nickname. He asked me to call him Q. Okay. And so my neighbors always give him shit every time I call him Q. And he's like, shut up, guys. Shut up. It's really funny. All of my neighbors have lived over here for like, 45 years. They've all. They all grew up with each other. And so. Okay, they. They give each other a hard time about everything. It's hilarious. [00:21:12] Speaker A: Well, we're giving Todd father a hard time, so what are we even doing? [00:21:17] Speaker B: Get you a neighborhood that doesn't have a lot of renters. That's what I'm saying. Established communities are wonderful things, Johnny. [00:21:23] Speaker A: Yeah. Building community is very important. And we're building that spawn community one issue at a time. So let's get to it. [00:21:31] Speaker B: Yes, do it. [00:21:32] Speaker A: Let's do it to it with Medieval Spawn number two. It. And I have the A cover. [00:21:41] Speaker B: Yeah, it's. I also have the A cover, Johnny, because why wouldn't you is the question. [00:21:47] Speaker A: Glorious Bjorn Barons cover. [00:21:49] Speaker B: It is so good. [00:21:51] Speaker A: He's slicing and Dyson. It's medieval spawn in 3D, and he's slicing. And Dyson, he's got an arrow through his chest or spear, I guess. [00:21:58] Speaker B: Yeah, he's like. It's like, these are like a whole bunch of guys that you would imagine would be on, like, a crusade. [00:22:05] Speaker A: Yeah, that's what I thought. [00:22:07] Speaker B: As much like, they look like they're ottomans that the crusaders are trying to fight. [00:22:13] Speaker A: And evil Spawn's just getting in there and wiping them out. [00:22:16] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:22:17] Speaker A: His sword has a head stuck on it. He's decapitating another guy with his ax behind him. [00:22:23] Speaker B: Yeah, he's decapitating a guy with the ax that he literally just took through another guy's gut. And so there's like intestines from one guy flying onto the face of the decapitated head of the other guy. And talk about insult on it to injury. Johnny, could you imagine you get your head cut off and then some other guy's poop all in your face in the last couple of seconds that you're cognizant. Boy, what a terrible way to go. [00:22:50] Speaker A: Yeah, but it's got that bjorn Beren's like 3D art to. It just tells the whole story with one image. It's very dynamic. [00:23:00] Speaker B: Yeah, Medieval. Medieval is just so menacing. [00:23:04] Speaker A: It looks cool. I like how tiny his eyes are. [00:23:06] Speaker B: Yeah, there's. There's like a lot of black space around him. It looks like if he were to take his helmet off, it would be like the Michael Keaton Batman where he's got just a lot of black makeup to fill up the. [00:23:18] Speaker A: Right. [00:23:18] Speaker B: Yeah, it gives. It gives more menace to him having the tiny eyes because it's like he's focused. [00:23:23] Speaker A: No, I think he looks scary. [00:23:25] Speaker B: Yeah, it's real good, man. These boots on the. The guys he's killing are really good too. Could you imagine having to do those laces in a 3D render? [00:23:34] Speaker A: Yeah, man. [00:23:35] Speaker B: We've talked about lace continuity before with regard to Cygor and boy could not imagine. Laces have to be one of the difficult things to do, I think. I would think as a non artist, probably. [00:23:50] Speaker A: This is very detailed, getting them to. [00:23:52] Speaker B: Look right and not like just a whole bunch of X's. Unless just looking like X's is your style and then that's something else. But. Bah. But yes, Johnny, this isn't the only cover for this issue. Even though it is one of the best covers we've ever seen. [00:24:06] Speaker A: Yes. [00:24:07] Speaker B: There is also a cover B by Jonathan Urib. Kinda looks like Medieval Spawn has come up to the plate. Two on, two out, bottom of the seventh. Just waiting for a nice heater to come right over the middle of the plate so he can smash it out of the park. Yeah. Only he's gonna be smashing it with a sword, so it'll. It'll split. [00:24:31] Speaker A: I like the detail on the face armor. It's all like, chunky and, like pieced like. [00:24:35] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:24:36] Speaker A: Together. [00:24:36] Speaker B: Yeah. It looks like how it would have actually been put together if they had made. [00:24:41] Speaker A: Yeah, it's kind of like this, the Dark Knight, like Batman's cowl and the Dark Knight, where it's like, more practical, where you can see how it fits together. [00:24:49] Speaker B: Yeah. And like, I like the. The detail on the big, like, forearm shield that he's got with the spikes on. I'm sure that's part of a gauntlet and not a shield, but whatever. It's. It's a really good cover too, Johnny. It just unfortunately doesn't hold a candle to the Bjorn Barrens. [00:25:06] Speaker A: Yeah. We've never seen. I think we've seen Jonathan Irby, Jonathan Castro before, have we? [00:25:12] Speaker B: I think. I think there's been one other. Because I think. [00:25:16] Speaker A: I think Castro. [00:25:17] Speaker B: Yeah. I remember thinking being. I think it was a couple episodes ago where we were like, hey, is this a new cover artist that we've never seen before? I think we've. So. Okay. But it's good. Yeah. There's lots of like, he's. He's obviously around a fire because there's a whole bunch of little fire motes just circling around him. It's like he's in a ruined city or something. Which if he was on a crusade, according to the Bjorn Beren's cover, everything is a ruined city when it comes to a crusade. [00:25:45] Speaker A: They just ruined the whole city. [00:25:46] Speaker B: Yeah. That's almost the point of the crusade is to just ruin the city. How dare they? [00:25:52] Speaker A: How dare they? But who are they? Who are these ones that dared? That is in the credits. [00:25:58] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:25:59] Speaker A: And we pop it open. We got script plot by Rory McConville. [00:26:02] Speaker B: Yes, we do. [00:26:03] Speaker A: Art by Marco Eitri, color by Ulysses arreola, lettering by NWorld Design. We already covered the covers. [00:26:12] Speaker B: Sure did. [00:26:13] Speaker A: Creative Director is Tom McFarlane and editor in chief is Thomas Healy. Previously the Medieval Spawn. Medieval Spawn sets out on a journey to hunt down the entity known as Abraxas. [00:26:27] Speaker B: Hell yeah. That's a fucking awesome name, Abraxas. [00:26:31] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:26:32] Speaker B: It also sounds like Santana album. Actually, I think it is a Santana album. [00:26:37] Speaker A: It is a Santana album. [00:26:39] Speaker B: Got a black Magic woman. Yep. We start in media fight, Johnny. As Spawn is want to do this. [00:26:49] Speaker A: Is the Order a breakaway faction of the Knights Templar. [00:26:54] Speaker B: Crusades Much. [00:26:55] Speaker A: They were formed to fight vampires in Egypt. [00:26:58] Speaker B: Ooh, very nice. [00:27:00] Speaker A: Very exciting. Mummy vampires. [00:27:04] Speaker B: That's actually pretty. Pretty frightening. [00:27:07] Speaker A: A mummy vampire. [00:27:08] Speaker B: Yeah. Would they? Because obviously if they're a mummy and a vampire, they wouldn't have both the mummy weaknesses and the vampire weaknesses. They would have to have their own. Have some sort of special weakness. So do you think they could be day walkers? If they're mummy vampires, they're out in. [00:27:23] Speaker A: The day here, there's daylight. Yeah. [00:27:25] Speaker B: Nice. That's frightening. A Day Walker vampire is very frightening. Yeah. [00:27:31] Speaker A: You don't want to mess with that. [00:27:33] Speaker B: No. Especially don't let them do your taxes. Sovereign citizens. At all. [00:27:39] Speaker A: What? [00:27:40] Speaker B: Wesley Snipes, the daywalker. He played. [00:27:42] Speaker A: Played and he did the taxes and he went to jail. [00:27:46] Speaker B: He didn't do the taxes. That was the problem. [00:27:48] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:27:50] Speaker B: Oh, boy. Funny story about the Knights Templar, Johnny. The Knights Templar continues to exist as like a subgroup within Masonic fraternities. And my father was a member of the Knights Templar for a couple of years. [00:28:08] Speaker A: Crazy. [00:28:09] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. Very weird. The Masons and the Scottish rite and the Shriners and all that. It's very weird. I don't think I understand it. [00:28:22] Speaker A: So your dad was hiding the Da Vinci Code? [00:28:24] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. He had to have been because they. They don't write any of their stuff down. That's part of it is it has to be remembered like the books at the end of Fahrenheit 451. You've got the one guy in your. In your temple who remembers that one text and he has to remember it exactly. And then his. Whatever. Like when he passes on his knowledge, he's literally teaching a newer person to remember the text verbatim. It's wild. [00:28:55] Speaker A: Crazy. [00:28:55] Speaker B: Yeah. Although the. The Masonic funeral rites are pretty awesome. They're long and complex and they have to be memorized. So seeing a guy who's known them for years is very, very interesting. [00:29:08] Speaker A: Interesting. So we come to disorder. [00:29:13] Speaker B: Yeah. This. This order that's hanging out at this. This castle. That's the word I was looking for. [00:29:19] Speaker A: Yeah. They're looking down and Medieval spawn. Yeah, he's clashing with him. [00:29:24] Speaker B: Yeah, he. And some. Because like this is he. No, the medieval is clashing with the. The Templar because it looks like he's fighting. Yeah. [00:29:33] Speaker A: I've clashed with its forces several times. [00:29:35] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. So the Templar, they kill the vampires and then they. People spawn. [00:29:40] Speaker A: He kills the Templar and they hate him. [00:29:42] Speaker B: Oh. Because he is of the devil. [00:29:45] Speaker A: They're burning some vampires in the forest. [00:29:47] Speaker B: Yeah. Oh boy. [00:29:48] Speaker A: Witches or something. [00:29:49] Speaker B: But then, you know, they've been around for a long time. And as we know, Johnny, any institution that's been around for a long time gets bloated and doesn't keep to its fighting weight and over. Over stretches its bounds. And that's what's happening here as we go to a new abbey that is run by Abbott. Oh, what's his last name? I think they just call him Brother Abbott or Father Abbott. [00:30:17] Speaker A: Yeah, Father Abbott, he's got this mad. [00:30:19] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:30:20] Speaker A: Mohawk. [00:30:21] Speaker B: He's. Yeah, he. Yeah, he's a big old fat guy with a mohawk. That's a. It's a funny. It's a funny conceit to me, Johnny, because it seems like it's shorthand for fat guy with mohawk is almost always a piece of shit. Can be what it seems like he's talking to one of the newer brothers who's just joined the abbey. And he's like, you know, I hear we should be fighting. Fighting a hell spawn. And Father Rabbit's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. We don't. We don't fight. We built it. [00:30:59] Speaker A: We built only 40 of us. Only. [00:31:02] Speaker B: Oh, Brother Dempster. Is this new guy's name Otto Dempster? [00:31:07] Speaker A: He's like, look, we barely got. We barely got 40 knights. [00:31:10] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:31:11] Speaker A: This guy can wipe out armies. We're not gonna fight him. [00:31:14] Speaker B: Yeah. That's. Why would we bother? It's a waste of resources, a waste of human lives. [00:31:19] Speaker A: And then Dempster makes this interesting illusion. He says, there are other weapons we could use. And the prisoner. [00:31:25] Speaker B: And, oh, Father Abbott gets very upset. He gets the righteous finger to point, and he's like. [00:31:31] Speaker A: That's all I'm gonna say. [00:31:32] Speaker B: You shut up about the prisoner. [00:31:34] Speaker A: And Otto's just like, as you wish. [00:31:38] Speaker B: And so. So Brother Dempster and Father Abbott, like, walk away. You know, Brother Dempster being chastised and Father Abbott feeling righteous in his, you know, his commandment to his underling. And there's just, like, one of the head knights who's a very grizzled man, just watching from the shadows, being like, heh. [00:32:01] Speaker A: Medieval Spawn takes over the narration, and he's like, otto Dempster. We had not met yet. I would soon come to curse his name. [00:32:09] Speaker B: Yeah. And, Johnny, if I may, this panel right here makes it seem like if they were to make this into a movie, Patrick Dempsey would be the perfect auto. Dempster. [00:32:20] Speaker A: You're just saying that because his name is Dimp. [00:32:23] Speaker B: No, I'm just saying that because he had a magnif a magnificent turn as the bad guy in Thanksgiving. [00:32:29] Speaker A: He did. [00:32:29] Speaker B: And he's. Otto Dipster's kind of a bad guy in this, and I would like to see more. Patrick Dempsey is the bad guy. Thank you very much. [00:32:36] Speaker A: Yeah, I would do. [00:32:37] Speaker B: He's. He's been the good guy for far too long. [00:32:40] Speaker A: Here comes our good guy, Medieval Swan. [00:32:42] Speaker B: He's got. He's got more pressing concerns than Otto Dempster. It looks like some orcs that he's. [00:32:47] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:32:48] Speaker B: Some kind of fighting. [00:32:49] Speaker A: He's fighting. [00:32:50] Speaker B: Yeah. He's. He's kicking him around with his big boots. He's got swords to necks to nex. Asking who Abraxas is or where is he? [00:32:58] Speaker A: And this guy's like, I don't know who the fuck that is. [00:33:01] Speaker B: Yeah. He says, the answer is the same everywhere we went. [00:33:05] Speaker A: They've been searching for Abraxas for three months. [00:33:07] Speaker B: Yeah. And they're just like, tired and worn out and frustrated. But Richard, Richard, he of the. The burned town and the ominous, ominous foreshadowing of the future of Richard to come has been very important for their. Their quest so far to find Abraxas. They're all sleeping around a fire in the woods. Johnny. And Richard nightmares himself awake. He's. And, you know, Sir John of York, Medieval himself is already awake. He's just sitting by the fire and he's like. First time. [00:33:53] Speaker A: He's like, you're fine, lad. [00:33:55] Speaker B: Yeah. Because Medieval basically never sleeps because he is. He is haunted by, you know, basically everything. You know, he's like nuts. Since I lost my. My wife and my child. So I don't like to sleep much since then. And it was a. He was on the Crusades and his wife was pregnant and died in childbirth before he got the chance to come back from the Crusade. So could you imagine leaving wife, a pregnant wife and then coming back to nothing? [00:34:32] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:34:33] Speaker B: Not imagine. That has to suck real bad. [00:34:36] Speaker A: Yeah, that'd be awful. [00:34:37] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:34:38] Speaker A: He got caught with a fever by the time he got home. [00:34:41] Speaker B: Mm. Medievals, like, my son would be about your age, Richard. So maybe a little bit of displacement within Medieval there. I think so maybe that's why he's caring for this young man like he does. And then Cuthbert and Pearson come back out of the fog and they're like, jon, we need to talk. [00:35:05] Speaker A: Like, look, we gotta give this up. We've been looking for months and we can't find him. [00:35:10] Speaker B: Yeah. And the. Then Medieval's like, yeah, I agree that it has been tough, but we haven't tried Bastion. Cuthbert and Pearson are just like, ah, no, that. No, absolutely not. And yeah. So Richard's like, who is Bastion? And Cuthbert goes, a madman. This is a mistake, John. Bastion can't be trusted. And Johnny, my only thought was Bastion was the boy who read the Neverending Story in the Neverending Story. [00:35:43] Speaker A: It was. [00:35:44] Speaker B: And. And couldn't stop the nothing. So I wonder if it's canonically the same bastion. [00:35:50] Speaker A: We'll find out. [00:35:51] Speaker B: He just. He just comes from the nothing. Could you imagine being stuck in the nothing? Oh, no. [00:35:57] Speaker A: They had a build a bear kind of rip off at Silver Dollar City. And my nephew built a white dragon. Nice stuffed animal. Looks like Falkor, basically. [00:36:10] Speaker B: Hell, yeah. Hell, yeah. [00:36:12] Speaker A: So I was telling him. I was like, it looks like Falcor. And he's like, who? I was like, oh, you gotta watch Nevering Story. Bring some tissues. [00:36:18] Speaker B: Oh, God. Oh, God. Oh, boy. Such trauma. One of our. Our second dog that we ever had, Aoife, a little scruffy white thing. She used to have the. She used to look like Falkor. And somebody called her Falkor junior once, and somebody misheard it and heard Softcore junior so Softcore junior was one of her names. Nice mishearing of Falcor. [00:36:42] Speaker A: That's funny. We cut back to the abbey. [00:36:46] Speaker B: Yeah. And Otter Dipster is just roaming through the woods trying to. He's going for a constitutional journey. [00:36:54] Speaker A: And then that. That grizzled knight that was watching earlier comes up, and he's, like, shivering. I'm the commander. [00:37:02] Speaker B: Yeah. And he's like, I heard you. I heard you talking to Father Abbott. And Dipster's like, oh. Oh, no, no. Nope. I got chastised once already. Don't, please, Mr. Sir Knight. I'm good. And Sir Trevor's like, no, actually, here's the thing. I think you're. [00:37:18] Speaker A: I want to kill that medieval spawn, too. [00:37:21] Speaker B: That motherfucker is in the way. But I just want to let you know that, you know, should something happen to him, there are individuals here who see things the way you also see them. [00:37:34] Speaker A: It'd be nice we have someone that would be able to provide leadership. [00:37:38] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:37:39] Speaker A: Like, why don't you kill him? Take his place. [00:37:41] Speaker B: Yeah. Interesting. The plot thickens, Johnny. And so we cut back to John. John of York. And Cuthbert and Pearson have left because they're like, Bastion. No. And John of York's like, boy, I kind of wish I had taken that parting a little more seriously because I never did see him again. [00:38:00] Speaker A: I never saw those again. You never know that about life, though, if you ever see people again, you know? [00:38:06] Speaker B: Yeah. That's why I always try to make sure that, like, if I can avoid it, I don't like to leave anything hanging. And it's like, even if it's just, like, well, not really hanging out, because I don't really hang out because I can't do unstructured time, but I like to make sure that, you know, Anything that needs to be said, I try to say it before I, I stop seeing a person for a day. Just because if that, if that bus hits me on my way home from work. Fucking Jesus. It's out of nowhere. It's not like Brad Pitt will come and invade my body and continue my life for me for a little bit. [00:38:40] Speaker A: No, he won't. [00:38:42] Speaker B: No, he definitely won't be making my body do a terrible Jamaican accent. I can do that just fine by myself and I will not because it is bad. [00:38:52] Speaker A: Don't do it. Meet Joe Black. The movie that the Star Wars Episode 1 trailer was attached to. [00:39:00] Speaker B: The long ass movie that the Star Wars Episode 1 trailer was attached to. Boy, in order to keep people there for the whole thing, they should have put it at the intermission in the middle. But I guess they didn't have intermission in the theater. That's just for the vhs, right? Because it was a two taper. [00:39:19] Speaker A: Two tapes. Yeah. They should have put the trailer at the end. [00:39:22] Speaker B: Yeah. The last movie I remember seeing with an intermission was that Civil War gods. Gods and generals. [00:39:30] Speaker A: Uh huh. [00:39:31] Speaker B: From the, the funny guy. [00:39:34] Speaker A: The funny guy. [00:39:35] Speaker B: Yeah, it was the, the non Jim Carrey guy from Dumb and Dumber. [00:39:40] Speaker A: Jeff Bridges. [00:39:41] Speaker B: Not, not Jeff Bridges. I think it's Jeff. [00:39:43] Speaker A: Jeff Daniels. [00:39:44] Speaker B: Jeff Daniels. It was Jeff Daniels. [00:39:46] Speaker A: He's not like a funny guy. He's like just a guy. [00:39:49] Speaker B: I up to that point I knew him as a funny guy. And then we go into this goddamn four and a half hour long Civil War drama. [00:39:58] Speaker A: What do you think is going to be a comedy? [00:40:00] Speaker B: Because my dad. I don't know, didn't I. I just didn't know. [00:40:03] Speaker A: Boy, last movie I saw with Intermission was rrr, which is a, is a Bollywood action movie. [00:40:09] Speaker B: I've been meaning to watch that, but I. [00:40:11] Speaker A: It's good. [00:40:12] Speaker B: I look at that runtime and it's like oh, oh boy, oh boy. [00:40:17] Speaker A: I saw it in theaters. [00:40:18] Speaker B: That's the way you got to do it. [00:40:20] Speaker A: Yeah, I saw it. The Alamo Drafthouse. So I had some nice chicken strips with it. [00:40:24] Speaker B: Oh, nice. Man. [00:40:25] Speaker A: That's a perfect movie for Alamo Drafthouse. [00:40:28] Speaker B: I thought you were about to say a perfect movie for chicken strips. And I was like, oh, tell me more. [00:40:32] Speaker A: I mean it's good with chicken strip. I enjoyed it. [00:40:34] Speaker B: What makes a good chicken strip movie? [00:40:36] Speaker A: Best chicken strip movie. Ooh, I don't know. Kentucky Fried Movie. [00:40:47] Speaker B: I feel like if you have sufficiently crunchy chicken strips that a movie that old, it would be hard to listen to while eating yeah. It's because the sound technology. [00:40:59] Speaker A: I like chicken strips when I watch Sam Raimi movies just because I like Sam Raimi movies. I like chicken strips. [00:41:07] Speaker B: I don't like to eat while I watch Sam Raimi movies because. [00:41:10] Speaker A: No, they're usually gross. That was the joke. Yeah. [00:41:12] Speaker B: No, I like. [00:41:13] Speaker A: That looks good. [00:41:14] Speaker B: It looks great. Oh, it's a. It's a fucking. It's Sam Raimi's castaway. [00:41:21] Speaker A: Yeah. It's gonna be demented, I bet. I bet it's gonna get pretty. [00:41:24] Speaker B: It's gonna be really gnarly. Yeah. [00:41:26] Speaker A: I hope she fucks that guy up, I guess. Jerk. [00:41:29] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, He's a dick hole. [00:41:31] Speaker A: This looks. He's. Oh, man. I just love Sam Raimi. [00:41:33] Speaker B: Sam Raimi does love a good comeuppance. [00:41:35] Speaker A: Story, like a morality tale. He's always. There's always, like, morals, like, at the heart of all of his movies, which are interesting. Even, like, Spider man and Evil Dead. [00:41:45] Speaker B: Yeah. That's one of the best things about Drag Me to Hell is the lady thinks she's so innocent the whole time, and it's just like, lady, why are you still being a jerk? [00:41:53] Speaker A: My favorite. I love that movie. So many good parts. One of my favorite lines is the demons, like, coming after. She's like, it wasn't me. It was my boss. She was like, I didn't deny the loan. It was my boss. And it's like, it was you. [00:42:09] Speaker B: Yeah. You actually did it. Yes. [00:42:12] Speaker A: She gave you the option, and you chose to deny her the loan. [00:42:15] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:42:15] Speaker A: Extension. [00:42:16] Speaker B: Yeah. Because she wanted that promotion. Yep. [00:42:21] Speaker A: And then I do, like, she didn't even get. [00:42:23] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. I do like that. There's the. I do like the button. The button. Coin mix up. [00:42:30] Speaker A: Yes. And tries to get. Yeah. [00:42:32] Speaker B: And she tries to get. I like that. You think what's. His face is gonna really be the bad guy in the movie, but he actually ends up being pretty good. [00:42:43] Speaker A: Justin Long. [00:42:43] Speaker B: Yeah. Justin Long. [00:42:44] Speaker A: I just think he's gonna be a bad guy. Do you? He starts off like he's kind of a jerky boyfriend. [00:42:50] Speaker B: He is. He is kind of a jerk. He ends up ultimately being pretty okay. But it's just. Justin Long, to me, is always a shorthand for. He always gets typecast as a piece of shit. [00:43:01] Speaker A: Usually he's a little shifty. Yeah. [00:43:03] Speaker B: Yeah. So. So you spend the whole time being like, oh, Justin Long. He's gonna be the reason that shit's bad. [00:43:08] Speaker A: And see, I. I don't think of him like. I always think of him as the little young Star Trek fan and Galaxy Quest. [00:43:14] Speaker B: Oh. [00:43:15] Speaker A: So I always think of him as a wholesome young boy. [00:43:18] Speaker B: Well, I guess. I guess I don't know what it is that cemented that for me, because it seems like every time I see a Justin Long movie now, like, Barbarian, I'm like, you know, I expected him to be. Oh, wait, no. He was an absolute piece of shit in Barbarian. [00:43:30] Speaker A: He was awful. [00:43:31] Speaker B: Yeah, okay, never mind. Never mind. I was trying to give him a redemption story, and I totally forgot that you gotta. [00:43:37] Speaker A: You gotta like Galaxy Quest, Right? [00:43:40] Speaker B: I liked it when I saw it, but I haven't seen it in, like, 20 years. What? [00:43:44] Speaker A: You should watch that again. [00:43:45] Speaker B: You'd love. Yeah, yeah, I know. I watched it before. I completely rewatched all the Star Trek too. [00:43:50] Speaker A: Oh, you. You adore it. [00:43:53] Speaker B: Yeah, I. I watched it when. At a time where I couldn't appreciate it. I watched it in high school, so. [00:44:00] Speaker A: I always appreciated it. Yeah, it was on Pluto TV not too long ago. [00:44:04] Speaker B: Man, I love Pluto tv. Drag Me to Hell's been on Pluto tv. So they've been having Drag Me to Hell and the faculty and fucking 28 days later. [00:44:14] Speaker A: Oh, cool. [00:44:15] Speaker B: So the Faculty is a fun movie. It's one of those. That's better than it should have been, I feel. [00:44:22] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [00:44:22] Speaker B: Like, it had no right being so good, but it was excellent. Yes. [00:44:27] Speaker A: Robert Rodriguez. [00:44:28] Speaker B: Oh, man, I love Robert Rodriguez. It's also got young ass Elijah Wood in it. Pre Hobbit. Elijah Wood. [00:44:34] Speaker A: We love him. [00:44:35] Speaker B: Yeah, Elijah Wood's great. You know who else is great? Johnny John of York pulling up to this empty cliff face with Richard, and he's like, well, here's where we got to go. Hold on a second. I got to open the door. And open the door, he slams his. [00:44:51] Speaker A: Sword to the ground. [00:44:52] Speaker B: Yeah. He opens it like. Like Superman opens his Fortress of Solitude with the big, gigantic key that he just leaves laying there. Because the thing is, he's the only one who could pick up the key. And then the horses run away. And John of York's like, well, there go the horses. We're gonna have to hoof it on foot this whole way. [00:45:16] Speaker A: And then a giant troll smacks him. [00:45:19] Speaker B: Yeah. Just, like, knocks him down. [00:45:23] Speaker A: And this troll just comes out of the big hole in the mountains, like, what the are you guys doing? [00:45:27] Speaker B: I like that this troll has the loincloth, and then, like, off the belt of his loin cough is just three skeletons. Yeah. [00:45:35] Speaker A: Halloween decorations. Funny. [00:45:37] Speaker B: It's great. [00:45:38] Speaker A: And then boom, we cut. [00:45:40] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:45:41] Speaker A: To a Father Abbott, whose name is Abbott Brown. [00:45:45] Speaker B: I'm Brown. And he is no more. [00:45:50] Speaker A: He was stabbed in the gut. [00:45:52] Speaker B: Yeah. With a nice little shift. [00:45:55] Speaker A: And then Otto, you can only assume was Otto's doing. [00:45:58] Speaker B: Yeah. Because Otto then is appearing at the front of the castle. Yeah. At the front of the castle. And he's like, my brothers, we've had a change in management. Father Abbott is no longer able to perform his duties. So let's just. Let's get this show on the road. Let's. Let's arm up. Let's get that crazy fucker out of the prison. Yeah. [00:46:21] Speaker A: Who's the prisoner? [00:46:22] Speaker B: Yeah. I don't know, but he's wrapped up in this coffin with, like, silver chains on him. Johnny. So probably some sort of vampire. Maybe it's. Maybe it's blood. [00:46:33] Speaker A: Could be blood. [00:46:35] Speaker B: I forgot his first name, but I successfully avoided calling him Jason Blood. [00:46:39] Speaker A: There might be blood. Instead of there will be blood. [00:46:41] Speaker B: It's. [00:46:41] Speaker A: There might be blood. [00:46:42] Speaker B: There might be blood. Otter Dempster is like, let's go kill us this fucking hellspawn, guys. And so then we end with the knights charging on their horses out of the. Out of the castle. [00:46:54] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:46:55] Speaker B: Yeah. And then we get Skuld and the issue skull. [00:46:58] Speaker A: In the issue. [00:47:00] Speaker B: We got the new generation, new stories, new you. Advertisement it's pretty good. The image classic set. The House of the Dragon accessories. [00:47:12] Speaker A: Yes. [00:47:12] Speaker B: They're like, little dragon sold separately. [00:47:15] Speaker A: Dragon sold separately. [00:47:17] Speaker B: And then the spawn Call of Duty ad is the one on the back. [00:47:20] Speaker A: Pretty cool. [00:47:21] Speaker B: But that's Medieval spawn number two, Johnny. [00:47:23] Speaker A: He came, he saw, he didn't conquer. [00:47:27] Speaker B: He got slapped down by a troll. [00:47:29] Speaker A: He came, he saw, I got slapped by a troll. [00:47:31] Speaker B: Man. [00:47:31] Speaker A: We've all been there. [00:47:32] Speaker B: Yeah. Who. Who amongst us hasn't been slapped down by a troll on the Internet? [00:47:37] Speaker A: Everyone has. [00:47:40] Speaker B: Can't let the trolls win, Johnny. [00:47:42] Speaker A: Don't feed the troll. All right. Welcome back. [00:47:52] Speaker B: Yes. [00:47:52] Speaker A: We have next on the docket, spawn. 366. 300 away from the mark of the beast. [00:48:00] Speaker B: Yeah. Only 300. Can you imagine, Johnny? We're gonna get there, and we're gonna see it. We're gonna live that long. [00:48:06] Speaker A: It's gonna take exactly as long as Spawn has been around. Basically. [00:48:10] Speaker B: Basically. Yeah. That's just. Yeah, that's doable. We can do that. [00:48:14] Speaker A: We can do it. [00:48:15] Speaker B: We can do that. Oh. Oh, Johnny. Johnny. Something. Something that I mentioned to you off Pod, but I figure we should bring up speaking of 66s, Johnny. [00:48:27] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [00:48:29] Speaker B: I have officially taken care of 66 dogs since we started taking care of Dogs. So we've got Ordog 66 or Dog 66. [00:48:39] Speaker A: Is that what you named your 66 dog? [00:48:42] Speaker B: No. So it's. It's either. I think it's Inez is the. Is the 66th. And that's. That's not a very menacing name. Inez. [00:48:53] Speaker A: That's okay. [00:48:53] Speaker B: She's also not a very menacing dog. She's a poodle who just pancakes. And that's all she does. She just lays there and she's like, huh, it's hilarious. But yeah, four dog 66. [00:49:06] Speaker A: Cute. And this is the one we were talking about. This one's a doozy. [00:49:11] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. Spawn 366. Well, Johnny, this doozy begins, as it often does, on the covers. Which cover do you have for this particular doozy? [00:49:24] Speaker A: I have the. A cover by Brett Booth. [00:49:29] Speaker B: Very nice. Very nice. [00:49:30] Speaker A: The made man himself. [00:49:32] Speaker B: Yeah, it's. It's a good one. Brett Booth. Brett Booth. Art is incredible, Johnny. [00:49:38] Speaker A: It spawns standing on top of this crazy gargoyle. [00:49:41] Speaker B: It is the craziest gargoyle I have ever seen. [00:49:43] Speaker A: It kind of looks like American Godzilla. [00:49:45] Speaker B: Yeah, it does. American Godzilla with, like, viper fangs. Yeah. [00:49:53] Speaker A: But, yeah, he's just sitting on top of it. Yeah. And cape's going. Looking heroic. [00:49:59] Speaker B: There's a whole bunch of, like, stormy looking clouds with a little bit of. A little bit of the. A little bit of light shining through in the back. [00:50:06] Speaker A: A little bit of light, sure. [00:50:08] Speaker B: Good. That's a good cover, Johnny. Yeah, I. I have the B cover, the Don Aglio cover. And it is a little bit of spoiler, I think. [00:50:20] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [00:50:21] Speaker B: Although, is it a spoiler? I don't know that. I can't tell if this is supposed to be Ravenspawn or if it's the guy who shows up on the last page in this issue. [00:50:32] Speaker A: Let's see. [00:50:33] Speaker B: Or if that is even the same. If that is Ravenspawn, I think it's. No, it's definitely not Ravenspawn. But there's ravens everywhere. There's all these ravens, so it's totally him. Hi. [00:50:44] Speaker A: It's totally Raven Spawn. [00:50:46] Speaker B: Why isn't Raven Spawn here? Come on. [00:50:48] Speaker A: Yeah, why wasn't he there helping out? [00:50:49] Speaker B: What's the deal? Yeah, he just, like. He just, like, disappeared after the battle for Hell. [00:50:54] Speaker A: Where the hell did he go? [00:50:55] Speaker B: Yeah, I mean, well, I mean, he was. He probably went back to his little. [00:50:59] Speaker A: Remember how creepy it was in, like, early King Spawn? [00:51:01] Speaker B: Yeah. Oh, boy. He was menacing as. And then it just turned into a weird guy with birds. It was like, I guess I guess. I guess I could. I guess I could hang out with you guys. [00:51:11] Speaker A: Burbs. [00:51:12] Speaker B: Burbs. Well, Johnny, we gotta pop open this cover to give credit where it is due to and surprising no one, Johnny. The script plot is by Mr. Todd McFarlane. [00:51:24] Speaker A: Absolutely. [00:51:25] Speaker B: The art is by Brett Booth. The inks are done by Adelso Corona and Daniel Henriques. The colors are by Robert Nugent. The lettering is by Tom Orzykowski. The covers are by. We've already been covered. The creative director is Todd McFarlane and the editor in chief is by Thomas Healey. And previously in Spawn, Hell's Behemoth is terrorizing humanity as Spawn rallies both allies and enemies to kill it. [00:51:58] Speaker A: Yes. We've been dealing with Behemoth for many issues now. [00:52:01] Speaker B: Yeah, it started off. [00:52:02] Speaker A: I think it's our fourth one with it. I mean, it's called Hell Hath Arisen Part four, so. [00:52:08] Speaker B: So it's definitely four for the Hell hath Arisen. And then there was at least one before that where Nix was making it. [00:52:16] Speaker A: And deal with him for a while. [00:52:18] Speaker B: So, like, Nix made it. And then I think the next issue after Nix made it, it made its appearance off the coast of California. So probably six issues. [00:52:27] Speaker A: Yeah. We open on the Poacher. [00:52:29] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:52:30] Speaker A: You showed up at the end of last issue. Be like, yo, I'm here. [00:52:33] Speaker B: Yeah, he's just. [00:52:33] Speaker A: For some reason I'm friends with Taylor. Who knows why. [00:52:36] Speaker B: Who's this? He looks like an Oliphant Johnny. [00:52:40] Speaker A: He does, but he's an action figure from the 90s. [00:52:45] Speaker B: He's got like, brass knuckles with the spikes. He's got some sort of magic smoke coming out of one hand. Oh, I guess that. That's not brass knuckles with a spike. That's the. The knuckle guard for his sword that has spikes on it. Look. [00:53:00] Speaker A: Gods tried to conquer this planet hundreds of times in the past and failed every time. I promise you, you're better than them and always will be. They're weak and they won't accept that. [00:53:10] Speaker B: He's cool looking. He's cool looking dude. Johnny. [00:53:13] Speaker A: Yeah. I mean, it's no wonder. He was a cool action started life. Yeah, cool action figure. He kind of is. [00:53:19] Speaker B: He's got that. He's got that 90s random piercings. [00:53:23] Speaker A: Yes. [00:53:25] Speaker B: So it's great. It's great. And then we turn the page and it's. He starts directly addressing Taylor and Taylor's like, yep, I remember what you told me. I gotta stay in his blind spots. Don't fly too close. And then Han's like, who the hell are you? [00:53:44] Speaker A: And then he says one of my favorite lines of the issue. Yes, Someone with powers that can help save innocent lives. So I'm just like you. [00:53:54] Speaker B: And thanks. And we learned that Taylor freed him from some sort of prison. [00:53:59] Speaker A: That's a story for another story for another time. Consumer Maz Kanata. [00:54:03] Speaker B: We should take. We should take bets right now on how long it takes for this story to come. If ever. [00:54:08] Speaker A: I think it's probably going to be a no. [00:54:11] Speaker B: It's. It's actually just what's on the back of the packaging for the action figure from the 90s. So they're like, yeah, we already published that. We don't got to do it again. [00:54:21] Speaker A: We already did it. [00:54:22] Speaker B: Yeah. And then. And then focus comes back, and he's like, I got the flanks. Gonna make sure that poacher doesn't get anywhere in case he decides to make a move. And Poach is like, I stop being dumb. I'm. I'm not foe. I'm friend. [00:54:37] Speaker A: I'm on your side. An elephant never forgets. [00:54:40] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:54:40] Speaker A: And then his friends are. [00:54:41] Speaker B: Albert Simmons comes out of a shadow, and he's like. He's right. Yep. Listen to the elephant man. And he's. He's like, well, this big, dumb behemoth. It's pretty. It's pretty dumb. I just shadow blasted out of it. It should have known that I could do that. [00:54:56] Speaker A: I, like, it takes his whole page. Just be like, this thing's dumb. [00:54:59] Speaker B: He's like, this ain't got a brain in his head. And I know that there's. There were brains in those bodies that he was made out of. So he's like, well, since it doesn't know that I can Shadow blast, what else doesn't this thing know? And it shifts to seeing the hellspawn, the scorched just, you know, keeping this behemoth busy, just attacking it, you know, blasting it, distracting it. And then Al says nix is controlling it. And all Nix knows is. Is Hell Spawns and humans. But none of you are either of those, so that's a good thing. But what are they, Johnny? We don't know. They don't explain. They're just not humans or Hell Spawns. [00:55:43] Speaker A: They're just superpowered beings. [00:55:46] Speaker B: They're just guys who can run real fast and elephants that talk. [00:55:49] Speaker A: And a guy with a sword tailor with a sword. [00:55:53] Speaker B: Yeah, like electric blue ninja. Yeah, it looks like he beat up a variant version of Mandarin Spawn and just stole all his gear. [00:56:05] Speaker A: Yeah, he's got, like, a gas Mask on. I don't know what the hell's going on there. [00:56:08] Speaker B: He's a cyberpunk, Johnny. [00:56:09] Speaker A: He's a cyberpunk. [00:56:10] Speaker B: Cyberpunk or cyber goth. There we go. Cyber goth. [00:56:13] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:56:14] Speaker B: He's down doing the dance to the Thomas the Tank Engine theme. [00:56:18] Speaker A: Is that what cyber goths do? [00:56:19] Speaker B: There's a. There's a video clip of cyber goths dancing under a viaduct a long time ago. And obviously they're dancing to probably techno. But the. The clip has since been changed to be Thomas the Tank Engine. And all I want for Christmas is you are the two most popular ones. Okay. Really? Well. And it's. It's just funny. [00:56:42] Speaker A: So I love to see Goth's dancing. [00:56:45] Speaker B: Cyber goth dance video. Look it up. It's classic. [00:56:48] Speaker A: I'll check it out. [00:56:50] Speaker B: And so Spawn's talking about how dumb this thing is. Yeah. He was. He was like, I was inside of it and man, it was dumb. Look at. Look. Listen to me. Regalia with stories and how dumb it was when I was inside of it. It was like, Nick's ain't got any idea what's going on because this thing's too dumb to tell her. And then he's like, so here's the plan. We're going to act like Langham Movers. [00:57:19] Speaker A: And Hunt is like, who rightfully goes. Who sort of get that thing to go where we want? Like Langham Movers. And Hawk goes, who? And he goes. A moving company I used before I became Spawn. Dan and his crew could move anything anywhere without breaking a sweat. What the. So why is he talking about these moving company he used when he wasn't spawned? What's going on? [00:57:50] Speaker B: I don't know. [00:57:51] Speaker A: Is that, like Tom McFarlane's favorite moving company just decided to give him a shout out? [00:57:55] Speaker B: Yeah, I. I guess. Either that Like, Todd McFarlane just moved, and he was like, hey, can I get a discount for. [00:58:01] Speaker A: Yeah. He's like, I put you in the comic book. [00:58:04] Speaker B: We should. We should look up Langham Movers in Arizona. Where? Or bake. No. Where's Spawn hq? Is it not in Arizona? It's in Baker Fields, Burbank. It's in Burbank. [00:58:20] Speaker A: No, I don't need to. Ah. It's trying to show me movers in Tulsa. I need to find Langham Movers. [00:58:27] Speaker B: Langham Movers in Burbank or Arizona. [00:58:31] Speaker A: The only thing related to it is stuff in this comic book. [00:58:37] Speaker B: Huh. [00:58:38] Speaker A: The only reference of Langham Movers is a review of this comic book. And they call it a very witty Dialogue. He gave it eight out of ten. Wow. [00:58:51] Speaker B: Oh, boy. I just saw that. Oh, man. [00:58:55] Speaker A: That's the only. So I guess this is just a made up moving company. [00:58:58] Speaker B: I guess. I guess Todd McFarlane just has moving companies on the brain. [00:59:02] Speaker A: That's so funny. So weird. [00:59:05] Speaker B: Maybe he's looked around the Spawn office and was like, man, imagine if we had to move all of this stuff, how much it would cost? And then he was probably like, imagine if we owned the moving company, how much money we would make for moving the Spawn offices. This is just a side project business that the Toddfather is working on. He's got a friend named Dan. He's bankrolling his moving company. Yeah. [00:59:30] Speaker A: And Haunt catches what Spawns thrown out there. And he goes, well, then let's move that son of a. Before it kills again. [00:59:36] Speaker B: Yeah. And so they. They have a quick huddle while the behemoth just slowly marches a toxic trail towards the city. Or through the city, I guess. [00:59:49] Speaker A: First up is Spawn. [00:59:51] Speaker B: Yeah. So Spawn's there. Spawns, the reason that this beast showed up. So he's feels responsible for all the death. And he's like, I need it to focus on me and only me. [01:00:02] Speaker A: All eyes on me. All eyes on me. [01:00:04] Speaker B: Yeah. And so then when the. The beast sees him, it, like, opens up its mouth and chest and just, like, sends out a representative reanimated body from its. Just one of the bodies that makes it up. [01:00:20] Speaker A: Just a body. [01:00:21] Speaker B: Yeah. It just sends it out in a glowing orb, and it's like, spawn, I just need all of your necroplasm in this little orb that I'm about to hand you. And I just want to take over heaven. I don't give a shit about Earth. You can have Earth. Just give me your necroplasm. I just need it in this little orb. And Spawn's like, yeah, okay, I'll start filling up the sword. And while Spawn's filling up the sword focus is, like, running up on top of, like, running up the side of the beast. And Haunts just down. Down behind it going, huh? Huh? Just like, throwing his goop everywhere. [01:00:56] Speaker A: Yep. [01:00:57] Speaker B: Taylor dashes at him like an anime fighter. Don't know what Taylor's actually gonna do. [01:01:03] Speaker A: The poachers running up on one of his legs. [01:01:06] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:01:07] Speaker A: And it's funny. This reminds me of an anecdote. It was now canceled Screenwriter Max Landis. But he wrote a treatment for a Godzilla movie one time that had the climax take place as the. Were part of the climax as the hero on Godzilla's back. Like, just, like, writing it or not, like, riding it. Like, stuck there, like, climbing it. [01:01:36] Speaker B: So that's a terrible place to be, especially if Godzilla decides to do some. Yeah, some heat breath. [01:01:43] Speaker A: I know. [01:01:44] Speaker B: Especially on new Godzilla, you'd get. You'd get burnt up by those back scales. [01:01:49] Speaker A: Absolutely. [01:01:50] Speaker B: Yeah. And then so. So Spawn's like, yep, I'm just filling up this orb for you. Not, I'm filling up this. Doing my job. You're getting you off of Earth. Just filling up. [01:01:59] Speaker A: And then he goes, wah. [01:02:00] Speaker B: Yeah. And then, like, it's done. He's like, actually, I changed my mind. [01:02:05] Speaker A: I'm gonna detect it, decapitate you. [01:02:09] Speaker B: It takes mere seconds to complete the decapitation. And then, you know, he. Alas, poor Yoricks, with this beast's head and is like, actually, you know what? You know all that. That necroplasm that I just put in that orb there for you? I'm just gonna jump right into it. I'm gonna. I'm just gonna jump right into that orb. And then. So Spawn jumps into this orb of necroplasm that he just filled. [01:02:32] Speaker A: We see his butt as he's going in. [01:02:35] Speaker B: Yeah, not. Not bad. Not bad. I mean, it's no Terry Fitzgerald, but it's not bad. But Wanda. Wanda. Wanda had a particular fondness for anatomical distinction. [01:02:51] Speaker A: She's an ass woman. [01:02:52] Speaker B: You can say. I also do. Like. [01:02:56] Speaker A: I was watching that 4K Blu Ray with humble brag, my girlfriend. And Wanda's like, she doesn't react to anything in the movies. We just decided she's just on Ambien or something. Because she's like. There's, like, a clown in her living room like, trying to eat her daughter, and she's just like, whatever. [01:03:19] Speaker B: Interesting. And you can see just sort of the. [01:03:23] Speaker A: Yeah, she's pilled out, man. She took the death of Al Simmons hard. It's just pilled out. [01:03:27] Speaker B: Dang. I believe it. [01:03:28] Speaker A: There's a really good interview with Michael Jai White that was really, really cool. [01:03:33] Speaker B: Nice. [01:03:34] Speaker A: Because he talks about how they filmed all that stuff with Wanda that was cut out. And he just is, like, really regrets that it's not cut out. He's like, how can you make it in the interview on the DVDs? Like, how can you make a love story when you don't ever see the love story? Yeah, it's a really good dvd. Talks about the movies, warts and all, so highly recommend it. [01:03:53] Speaker B: They don't have. They don't have the love story stuff as deleted scenes. [01:03:57] Speaker A: Unfortunately not. I don't Think they were archived or saved? [01:03:59] Speaker B: Boo. [01:04:01] Speaker A: I don't think anyone. [01:04:02] Speaker B: That would have been incredible. [01:04:03] Speaker A: I know. [01:04:04] Speaker B: So Spawn's in this orb and focus is just, like, just bothering the shit out of this behemoth. Like a mosquito annoying a summer camper. [01:04:13] Speaker A: Classic Todd McFarlane analogy. [01:04:16] Speaker B: Haunts down there still putting some goop together. And he's made, like, a haunt Christmas. [01:04:20] Speaker A: Tree that's at an angle. It's like a haunt Christmas tree spear. [01:04:24] Speaker B: Yeah. And then. And then, like, haunt is like, oh, I'm exhausted, but I'm done. Poacher, it's your turn. And so Poacher is just, like, at the legs of Behemoth just trying to fell out like a tree and haunt you. Eating. Can you take care. Can you take care of this poacher? Poacher says, I've been doing this for a thousand years. Don't worry about me. Feels very Bilbo Baggins, like, dragon. There hasn't been a dragon in the Shire for a thousand years. [01:04:51] Speaker A: For a thousand years. [01:04:55] Speaker B: Oh, I love. [01:04:56] Speaker A: I love. [01:04:58] Speaker B: I love when Bilbo gets preternaturally old from the power of the ring. He just, like, becomes incredulous about everything. He's just like, absolutely. No, I've. I've lived far too long. That could never happen. Yeah, that'll never happen. And then, like, Haunt makes some stairs for Poacher to run up so he can get a better. A better angle. [01:05:19] Speaker A: Angle on the leg. [01:05:21] Speaker B: And then. And then Spawn gives his. He's like. He gives the final signal. [01:05:25] Speaker A: He spreads his cape. [01:05:26] Speaker B: Yeah. And so Poach is just like. And just, like, single slice clean through the leg of the Behemoth. And then we see Taylor, like, up in the air in front of the Behemoth. And he's just like. [01:05:41] Speaker A: I'm distracting you. [01:05:44] Speaker B: And it. It. The. The Behemoth just starts to topple over. And Jessica Priest, much like us, is watching from a distance and is like, what is happening? [01:05:54] Speaker A: What's going on? [01:05:55] Speaker B: What's going on? And the Behemoth just falls over onto this giant haunt goop spike. It just, like, goes right through the middle of its chest. [01:06:04] Speaker A: Yep. [01:06:06] Speaker B: And we. Don't worry, Johnny. The TV cameras got footage of this beast being destroyed. Yes. [01:06:13] Speaker A: It will be talked about for decades. It says. [01:06:16] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:06:16] Speaker A: And this is a big revelation. Spawn's universe. He says this is the moment when the world became fully aware of the extent that heroes and villains now roam the Earth. [01:06:24] Speaker B: I feel. I feel like he has said that every three times. I know three or four issues. And also we youngbloods existed at the inception of Spawn, so. I know. [01:06:37] Speaker A: And there was the whole plot around 300 where spawn came out to the world and was like, hey, this. We all exist. There's demons. And I'm here. Here. Like, yeah, come on. [01:06:46] Speaker B: Because that's how we. That's how we learned that Brock the Shock is a. Is a demon. Because Spawn shows up and he's like, brock, what the are you doing? And Brock is like, hey. Hey, you're the one who changed the rules on me. [01:06:56] Speaker A: Hey, I'm a demon. It's just so funny. It's like, this is the moment. It's like they haven't figured out their superheroes by now. The world's pretty dumb. [01:07:06] Speaker B: Pretty dumb. Why, Johnny, you've seen the. You've seen the news pundits that they're left with? [01:07:11] Speaker A: They talk about costume vigilantes, like, every week. Come on. [01:07:15] Speaker B: Oh, boy. And so Spawn's just like, hey, everybody okay? Everybody good? We did it. [01:07:21] Speaker A: Everybody cool? We did it. [01:07:24] Speaker B: And then he's got the. He's like, oh, hey, yeah. Here's this big turbocharged bubble of necroplasm that I just removed myself from. Everybody. Everybody. We gotta drain power. And everybody, I need you to charge this necroplasm. [01:07:36] Speaker A: Everybody. Touch me. Put hands on me. Praise me. [01:07:38] Speaker B: He's like, give me. Give me your vibes. Give me your. [01:07:42] Speaker A: They'll shoot their vibes into Spawn. [01:07:44] Speaker B: He's like, I've. I've figured out how to adapt Nix's little power battery into our own. Own uses. But I need. I need some extra juice. And then he, like, plants it like a seed, and. And then it, like, explodes in necroplasmic. [01:08:03] Speaker A: Light and, like, encompasses all of the Behemoth and starts sucking in and becoming smaller and smaller. [01:08:09] Speaker B: Yeah. A voiceover about how, you know, in the future, they'll talk about how Spawn altered Hel's servants to his own needs. And then we've got some weirdo guy who's, like, a small version of the Behemoth, but with really cool armor. And he just says, I've been waiting for this. [01:08:29] Speaker A: So Spawn shrunk the guy. [01:08:31] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:08:32] Speaker A: And now he's a new guy. [01:08:33] Speaker B: And now he's a new guy. Hopefully not as dumb. Could you imagine if it was still dumb? And so the next issue is just Al Simmons being like, look at this. This guy's so fucking idiot dumb. Can you believe that? How is he still. How is he still breathing? He's so dumb. And then we get the Necroplasmometer. To end the issue. [01:08:53] Speaker A: You know, David, going through with you, this is actually pretty fun. [01:08:56] Speaker B: It was. It was much more fun talking about it than it was trying to read it and understand what was happening. Because I did a lot of that flipping back and forth of being like, what? Did I read that correctly? Yeah, I do. Kind of like the. The all hands on deck approach actually works pretty well here. It's a little. It's a little make up a character for your days ex machina. But it's kind of fun. I still want to know about Taylor, but pretty good. [01:09:28] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:09:29] Speaker B: Then we get a spawning ground. Johnny presents custom art. And it's a friend or a fan, a member of the Spawn community. A Spawn vert, if you will. Brandon Nguyen, who was at Phoenix Fan Fusion, and he just has, like, a page that's, you know, the comics page with the. The lines for bleed and cut off that you typically draw your comics pages on. And he got a whole bunch of, like, a. Like a murderer's row of spawn artists to do. Just do their thing on it. Presented it to the Spawn team as a gift. Featured on this page are some work by Raymond Gay, Mog Park, Danny Mickey, Eric Henson, and Bobby Breed. That's real cool. I like that. Mog park who did the Mandarin Spawn. I like that their signature is like, a cat. I can't tell if it's a cat with a long tail or a cat playing a guitar, but it is awesome. [01:10:37] Speaker A: Yeah, it's pretty cool. [01:10:38] Speaker B: I'd like to pretend it's a cat playing a guitar because that would be cute as hell. Yeah. [01:10:45] Speaker A: And that's pretty cool. Just like four to five different artists on one page. It's a pretty good idea. [01:10:49] Speaker B: True. It's real fun. I like it that. That medieval spawn is gnarly. [01:10:55] Speaker A: I know. It's like mass is coming off, and there's the rotted Al Simmons underneath or rotted John of York underneath. [01:11:01] Speaker B: Yeah. Need more Sponsor universe, Johnny. [01:11:05] Speaker A: Yes. [01:11:05] Speaker B: Nice. Well, don't miss these ongoing titles, Johnny. Look at him. Look at all those titles. The Core 4, Main Title, King Spawn, Scorched Gunslinger. [01:11:14] Speaker A: There they are. [01:11:14] Speaker B: Yeah. Then we get the image Classic set. [01:11:17] Speaker A: Then we get my favorite ad. [01:11:19] Speaker B: This is the best ad ever. I'm gonna be so sad when it stops running. [01:11:23] Speaker A: It's the Shrek ad. [01:11:25] Speaker B: It's the sexual tension. Shrek and Dragon ad. [01:11:30] Speaker A: The sexual tension. Where's Donkey? [01:11:33] Speaker B: He's out of the picture. Literally. [01:11:36] Speaker A: He is. Watch out. [01:11:40] Speaker B: I love. I love just, like, whipping this out and being like, look at this advertisement. Tell me if you think this advertisement is ridiculous. And everybody, like, to a person is just like. That is a wild juxtaposition of those figures. Yes. [01:11:56] Speaker A: Looking at each other. [01:11:57] Speaker B: Oh, boy. Almost looks like the dragon is saying, oh, Shrek, how green you are. [01:12:03] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. He's like, dragon. [01:12:08] Speaker B: Let me show you how green I am. [01:12:10] Speaker A: Oh, God. [01:12:14] Speaker B: Oh, boy. That's spawn 366 Johnny. [01:12:18] Speaker A: There it is. [01:12:19] Speaker B: Yep. Well, Johnny, sounds to me like we need to execute ORDOG 66 and rate these puppies. [01:12:29] Speaker A: It's time to rate the puppies. Yeah, I was rating, so I have puppies now, too. [01:12:35] Speaker B: Yeah. So we're gonna get. We're gonna get barks from both sides. We're not really that sorry. We'll try to do as best we can. [01:12:45] Speaker A: Yep. We'll do the best we can. Which is what they did with Medieval Spawn number two. [01:12:52] Speaker B: Mm. [01:12:53] Speaker A: They did a really good job with. [01:12:54] Speaker B: Medieval Spawn number two. [01:12:56] Speaker A: Yeah. It's just a really cool. Like, I like how episodic it is, and, like, it's good building this overarching story, setting these seeds with Otto and with the prisoner. What's going on there. Yeah, it feels like very much a direct continuation of last week. I like this kind of building this overall story, which is what you should be doing in a miniseries anyway. So. Yeah, I think it's really pulling it off so far. [01:13:18] Speaker B: Rory McConville is just excellent at this shit. Johnny. I feel. I feel like. I feel like he just kind of, like, story is in his blood and he knows what he is doing. It's very good. [01:13:32] Speaker A: He's an amazing second issue after the initial setup. And it's just like, kind of laying all the pieces out there. [01:13:37] Speaker B: Yeah. Making sure that we got a big troll. [01:13:41] Speaker A: Got a big troll. We got crusaders. We got vampires. [01:13:44] Speaker B: Yeah. We got a, you know, a. A building relationship between Richard and Medieval Spawn. So that probably means there's going to be a bitter fallout at some point. [01:13:54] Speaker A: Bitter fallout. [01:13:55] Speaker B: Yeah, because it's probably going to end up with Richard at one point being like, you're not my dad, and he's. [01:14:01] Speaker A: Like, I know, son. [01:14:05] Speaker B: Oh, boy. This Sir Trevor, you know, like, leading the insurrection at the abbey. Like, are we gonna. Are we gonna learn that Sir Trevor is actually some sort of like. Like a plant? Like, maybe. Maybe he's an angel who's there to stir the pot. [01:14:23] Speaker A: I could see that, because as we've. [01:14:24] Speaker B: Learned in the Violator miniseries, Heaven and hell have just been stirring each other's pots for millennia. That's all they do. They're just pot stirrers. [01:14:32] Speaker A: They just stir pots. [01:14:34] Speaker B: Say bubble. Bubble. Bubble, bubble. [01:14:37] Speaker A: Love the art. [01:14:38] Speaker B: Oh yeah. It's real good. It's very. It's very Steven Segovia. [01:14:44] Speaker A: Yes. It reminds me of Steven Segovia for sure. But it's very vibrant and just tells the story. [01:14:50] Speaker B: Yeah. I like these. I like the. The orcs that Marco does. They're real. They're real nasty characters. [01:14:56] Speaker A: I love the Medieval Spawn was like truly blue because they usually don't draw it that often is like. [01:15:01] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:15:02] Speaker A: And I like to see the blue. [01:15:04] Speaker B: It's real nice. It's a good. It's a great. A great colorway for him. [01:15:08] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:15:08] Speaker B: And I also like that his helmet's like not a fantastical helmet. It's just like they took a regular helmet from the time and like painted Spawn insignia on it instead of it. I mean I do love a ridiculous and like flared medieval Spawn helmet. But I like how practical this one is. I feel like John of York is imminently practical. Even though he is a power wielding hell beast. [01:15:34] Speaker A: He seems practical. [01:15:35] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:15:36] Speaker A: I'm gonna give this issue four Burning Witches. [01:15:43] Speaker B: Burn the Witch. Burn to Ash and Bone. Very nice. I like it. Johnny. This is a good book. It's real fun. I'm going to give it. I'm also going to give it four. I'm going to give it four accusing finger points from Brother Abbot. [01:15:59] Speaker A: He is Jacuz. [01:16:01] Speaker B: Because that. It feels like that finger is just like coming right out at you. It's just like. It's a 3D finger. [01:16:10] Speaker A: 3D finger. I'm excited to see where Medieval Spawn goes. [01:16:12] Speaker B: Yeah. I'm really interested in it. I hope he survives that encounter with that big old troll. [01:16:18] Speaker A: And then we have spawn. 366 yes we do. Which I was. I read it twice before recording. I was like. It was just overwhelming. It's a lot. It's confusing. [01:16:27] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:16:28] Speaker A: It's just throwing a lot of dialogue at you. Todd McFarlane dialogue that can be a little odd or idiosyncratic. [01:16:33] Speaker B: We're learning about Al Simmons's past. [01:16:36] Speaker A: Yeah. With his moving company that he used to use. [01:16:39] Speaker B: We're learning about Poacher and Taylor and they've got a shared past too. But we're not going to talk about that. Just. [01:16:44] Speaker A: We're not going to talk about it. We're not going to talk about it. We're not going to talk about how Taylor became a superhero. [01:16:49] Speaker B: Ah. We got Al Simmons telling us that this big behemoth is a idiot. God damn. [01:16:55] Speaker A: Is it I love it. I forgot how much he's just like, this thing is so stupid. [01:17:01] Speaker B: They take. They take up two whole pages to talk about how dummy it is. [01:17:05] Speaker A: Yeah. Which is hilarious. [01:17:07] Speaker B: Oh. [01:17:08] Speaker A: But I actually. I don't know. I had a fun time reading it with you, David, and it's just. It is what Spawn has become like. Spawn. Mainline title spawn, with Todd McFarlane taking over, is just this smorgasbord. It's like being at the place with the thrilled rolls, David. Yeah, you get the chicken fried steak, but then you also get the okra and you also get the potatoes and you also get the macaroni salad. [01:17:32] Speaker B: Yeah. It's just coming at you whether you want it or not. You gotta. You gotta duck or grab. That's those. [01:17:36] Speaker A: Duck and grab. We're grabbing. Brett Booth, of course. Killing it with these maximalist art of these super chiseled superheroes that he does. [01:17:45] Speaker B: It has to take him like two months to do one of these issues. This is insane. Johnny. [01:17:51] Speaker A: Yeah, draw. Just to draw all the abs on all the people. [01:17:53] Speaker B: Yeah. And like every page has so many panels and it's just like. You want me to do what? [01:17:59] Speaker A: Yeah, there's so many tiny panels that have like eight characters within the panel. It's crazy. [01:18:03] Speaker B: Oh, boy. [01:18:05] Speaker A: But I don't know. I have fun going through it. It's ridiculous. If you can accept that media on its level. Yeah, I know you're like poo pooing at the beginning of the episode, but I came around. Yeah, me too. I just came around. And I'm gonna give it. I'm gonna give it. [01:18:23] Speaker B: When I come around, I'm gonna give. [01:18:26] Speaker A: It three and a half. Laying hands on Spawn. [01:18:30] Speaker B: Nice. [01:18:31] Speaker A: Lay hands on him. Not like laying hands, like hitting, but like. [01:18:34] Speaker B: Yeah, but like, like the religious. Yeah, like, like pray for Brother Albert. [01:18:40] Speaker A: Hands down, pray for me. [01:18:43] Speaker B: I. I like this book so much more after having talked about it because. Yeah. Reading it by myself on the train was just like, huh? [01:18:54] Speaker A: Who? [01:18:55] Speaker B: I mean, I do really like the big haunt goop Spike. That's. [01:18:58] Speaker A: That's pretty cool. [01:18:59] Speaker B: That's pretty cool. But yeah, I. I'm. You know, it's fine. I've come around to it, but I kind of want there to be a little bit more like interpersonal narrative going forward from here. I want something like a little quieter, maybe something a little bit fewer. Fewer people to have to deal with. But I agree, like, talking about it made me enjoy it so much, Johnny, that I am actually going to agree with that one online review we found And I'm going to rate it for. For. What the fuck is Taylor doing out of five? Because what the fuck is he doing? What is he. I mean, he's just running around and he's blue. He blew himself, Johnny. [01:19:44] Speaker A: He blew himself. [01:19:46] Speaker B: Is he also in an alrapist now? [01:19:50] Speaker A: Oh, I don't know. [01:19:52] Speaker B: Have you not seen Arrested Development? No. Oh, well, in it, David. [01:19:59] Speaker A: I mean, I've seen it like 20 years ago. [01:20:01] Speaker B: Oh, okay. Well. But that's. That's what. What's his name is. He's an anorepist because he's an analysis. Analysis. An analyst and a therapist. [01:20:12] Speaker A: Oh, my gosh. [01:20:14] Speaker B: He. Everything he says is just wrong. Tobias. Okay. That's his name. [01:20:20] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah. [01:20:22] Speaker B: I was trying to think of the. David Cross. That's the actor's name. Funny guy, David Cross. [01:20:26] Speaker A: I love David cross. I love Mr. Show with Bob and David. [01:20:30] Speaker B: I've. I've never. I haven't watched Mr. Show yet. I have. I have a lot of friends who like it. I would probably enjoy it. [01:20:36] Speaker A: There's that sketch that I was talking about that they do, basically what we do. He's. He's trying to, like, be altruistic. So he reads Sunday funnies to blind people and tries to describe them. [01:20:47] Speaker B: Nice. Nice. [01:20:49] Speaker A: It's funny, but it's kind of scary, but I wish you could see it. And it's like, that's just what we do. [01:20:55] Speaker B: That is what we do. That is what we do. Could you imagine trying to explain a Garfield cartoon to somebody who's never seen it? Well, he's a cat. [01:21:01] Speaker A: So Gar. There's a cat, he's on a table and he's looking fat. And he goes, oh, my God. And then the next panel, he's got some lasagna. He's got some lasagna, but it's burnt and he's pissed about it. And he looks up on the third panel, he goes, I hate Mondays. And oh my God. Wish you could fucking see it, man. [01:21:20] Speaker B: Hilarious. But yeah, I. I've come around to this issue, Johnny. We'll. We'll see what the rest of main title has given us as it goes along. But, yeah, we'll see. This is a pretty good. A pretty good time. [01:21:32] Speaker A: Johnny pleasantly surprised. [01:21:34] Speaker B: Yeah, well, you know what else is presently surprising, Johnny? [01:21:38] Speaker A: Presently and pleasantly. [01:21:39] Speaker B: Yes, both of them. A clear and present surprise. And that's the spot immunity. The spot immunity is a fucking great surprise. It surprised the shit out of us by being just a super awesome place to be. [01:21:51] Speaker A: Absolutely. [01:21:52] Speaker B: Yeah. And Johnny we want to make sure that more people know about how awesome the spawn munity is and gonna keep, keep shouting out some individuals from the spawning grounds of gunslinger45 gonna shout out that Demar Douglas who did that really cool, like oil paint gunslinger in the back of Gunslinger 45 there. And he's got, he's got a lot of. That's his style is like that, like oil paint for everything. And he does a lot of comics characters with it. He's got like the Batmans and he's got like the X Men's and he's got a big giraffe. I like that giraffe. Yeah, he's just got some great shit. You should go follow him on Instagram. Just Amar Douglas, give him a follow. [01:22:46] Speaker A: While you're over there, give us a follow. We are regarding SpawnPod. [01:22:50] Speaker B: Yes, indeed. [01:22:50] Speaker A: And now that I moved and a lot of life, tumultuous stuff has ended, I'm going to be posting it on Instagram. So look for that. [01:22:58] Speaker B: Yeah, I will look for it. I will be excited for you to, to comment on those 400 reels that I have sent to the account for you to watch. [01:23:10] Speaker A: I'm sorry that social media gives me anxiety. [01:23:14] Speaker B: Hey, Johnny, don't apologize for something that is a documented fact and that if you don't need that anxiety, you don't need that anxiety. Don't worry about it. I'll give you, I'll give you a spoiler. Basically all of the reels are something something. Phantom of the Opera, something something. [01:23:31] Speaker A: Hell yeah. Well, I can't wait to watch them. [01:23:34] Speaker B: They're all, they're all. Basically, if Phantom of the Opera was this, I would, I would love it. [01:23:40] Speaker A: So Trump loves Phantom of the Opera. [01:23:43] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:23:43] Speaker A: Did you know that? [01:23:45] Speaker B: I, I know he's like very set in like a two year span of the things that he likes. [01:23:50] Speaker A: He likes Les Mis, Phantom of the Opera, like a lot. And Cats. [01:23:55] Speaker B: Yeah. And trying to say that he loves Les Mis and it just like goes over his head. [01:24:02] Speaker A: Have you, did you hear that leak? And I'm not trying to shame anybody. I'm trying to body shame. I'm not gonna be like, Trump's fat. Like, I hate people to do that. I don't hate people to that. I'm just like, so you, you can do that to him, but you don't want to do that to anyone else. Got it? Yeah. But they did, they did leak his current McDonald's order and it is fucking insane. [01:24:20] Speaker B: Oh, man. [01:24:22] Speaker A: Hot like a large fry. He's greeted on air Force one with a hot fry. [01:24:26] Speaker B: Okay. [01:24:27] Speaker A: He has fries, Quarter pounder. [01:24:30] Speaker B: Okay. [01:24:31] Speaker A: Big Mac and a filet of fish. And he eats all of them. Sometimes combining them. [01:24:36] Speaker B: I am, I am full just hearing that order. [01:24:39] Speaker A: I kind of want some McDonald's fries now, though. I will say. [01:24:42] Speaker B: Yeah, it is. It is Friday. If you have the app, as long as. Oh, as long as you make a two dollar. A two dollar purchase, you get free medium fries on the app. [01:24:50] Speaker A: Oh, hell, I guess I'm going to McDonald's after this. [01:24:53] Speaker B: McDonald's is pretty. McDonald's is good once in a while. If you have it two days in a row, it's just like. [01:24:59] Speaker A: But if you, when you hit it like every, you know, like once a month or once every couple weeks and it hits. [01:25:04] Speaker B: Yeah, when it's hitting, it's hitting. And do you know, have, have I talked about McBroken on here before, Johnny? [01:25:12] Speaker A: I don't think so. [01:25:13] Speaker B: There's a website called McBroken.com where they just automatically send a whole bunch of orders to all the McDonald's around for ice cream to see if the ice cream machines are down. So you can actually track to see if the McDonald's you're going to has the ice cream machine up before you get there. [01:25:30] Speaker A: There you go. [01:25:31] Speaker B: Mcbroken.com. it's wonderful. I use it every time I go to McDonald's because if I'm going to McDonald's, I'm probably going to get a McFlurry. [01:25:38] Speaker A: Gotta get a McFlurry. [01:25:39] Speaker B: Cause it's an afternoon snack ice cream and it's cheap as hell. [01:25:43] Speaker A: I like McDonald's sauce serve. It's good. [01:25:45] Speaker B: Yeah, it's real good. Their coffee is good too, man. Their breakfast is my favorite. I like the. I like a sausage biscuit with some strawberry jam on it. It's the way to go. [01:25:55] Speaker A: Put the jam on the biscuit. [01:25:55] Speaker B: Absolutely. [01:25:56] Speaker A: Gotta put the jam with the hash brown. I love their hash browns. [01:26:00] Speaker B: Yeah.
