RE:Spawn Episode 40 - King Spawn 7 and Gunslinger Spawn 17

[00:00:00] Speaker A: Gunslinger whispered to this hero exactly how to hurt angels then gave him his. [00:00:04] Speaker B: Bowie knife cut their wings were the. [00:00:06] Speaker A: Only words he needed to speak good evening and welcome to the Malbol. This is regarding spawn, the world's best spawn podcast. [00:00:47] Speaker B: I am your co host, John Fisher. [00:00:50] Speaker C: And I am your co host, David Williams. And Johnny, it is the day after 420, and Method Man CD is still. [00:01:00] Speaker B: Very good for Method man CD. Good. [00:01:03] Speaker C: I love Method man. Weed is, but he's much better in a group than by himself. [00:01:07] Speaker B: He gets a little samey samey after a while. [00:01:10] Speaker C: Don't come after me, method man, please. [00:01:11] Speaker A: Weed is still very good in moderation, like all things. I discovered a stoner metal band called. They were playing it at the shop last night when I went downstairs, and. [00:01:22] Speaker B: They were like, hey, come hit this joint. [00:01:25] Speaker A: When you live in the city, you have shops below you and your friends. And they were like, hey, come here, hit this joint. And they were listening to God. What was it called? Sleep or something like, it was like a one word? [00:01:35] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:01:35] Speaker A: Was it sleep? [00:01:36] Speaker B: It was probably sleep. [00:01:38] Speaker C: Sleep is classic. [00:01:39] Speaker A: Is there one called sleep? [00:01:40] Speaker C: Yes, it is. [00:01:41] Speaker B: Yes. [00:01:42] Speaker A: Is it the one that's in Gummo? [00:01:44] Speaker B: Okay. [00:01:47] Speaker A: The song's in Gummo. So, yeah, it was definitely sleep. It was definitely sleep. If I thought of that, then that's what it is. [00:01:52] Speaker C: I wonder if they were listening to all of Holy Mountain, which is their first album, where all of the songs are just turned into one track, and it's like an hour and 20 minutes long. [00:02:02] Speaker B: It's great. [00:02:03] Speaker A: That's exactly what they were listening to, because they said, it's an hour and 20 minutes song. And I was like, oh, cool. [00:02:08] Speaker C: Fuck, yeah. I love sleep. [00:02:10] Speaker A: No, it was awesome. The parts I heard. [00:02:12] Speaker C: Hell, yeah. Congratulations. Welcome to the world of Stoner Meadow, Johnny. [00:02:16] Speaker B: It's some good. [00:02:17] Speaker A: I'm excited. I'm excited to get into it, man. [00:02:20] Speaker C: You got to listen to some sleep, you got to listen to some kayas, anything by Josh Holm from queens of the stone age. [00:02:29] Speaker B: That'll get you there. Okay. That'll get you there. Sweet. Yeah. [00:02:34] Speaker A: We smoked many in necro cigarettes yesterday. [00:02:37] Speaker C: Nice. Next thing you know, I'll be getting you into the 40 year reign of King Buzzo and the Melvins, and there'll be no turning back. [00:02:46] Speaker A: I like the name. [00:02:47] Speaker C: King Bozo is crazy. He's this big dude with a big old giant gray afro, and he's been living the rock star life since, like, the mid 80s. [00:02:58] Speaker B: It's pretty great doing stoner metal. Yeah. [00:03:03] Speaker C: Technically sludge, but stoner and sludge share. [00:03:07] Speaker B: A lot of sludge. [00:03:10] Speaker A: There's a genre called sludge. [00:03:12] Speaker C: There's a genre called sludge. [00:03:14] Speaker A: Interesting. [00:03:14] Speaker C: It gave birth to doom and doom. Subgenres of funeral doom and death doom and all that good stuff. Ambient doom. We got to get off this conversation, Johnny. I'm going to be here for, like, three weeks trying to explain conspiracy, like the intersection of all the subgenres of metal. [00:03:38] Speaker A: Well, I think all of them are a fine soundtrack to the various subgenres of Spawn. [00:03:44] Speaker C: Oh, yes, most definitely. [00:03:45] Speaker A: And today we're covering two subgenres or sub. Well, they're not sub issues. They're not sub series, but they're not main spawn. They're side series, but they're their own main event, in a way. Not King Buzzo, but King Spawn. [00:04:00] Speaker C: King Spawn, King Buzzo, Spawn. [00:04:03] Speaker A: We got king Spawn number seven and gunslinger Spawn 17. [00:04:08] Speaker C: We're on that seven one seven again. [00:04:10] Speaker A: King Spawn's kind of the seven one seven. [00:04:12] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:04:12] Speaker A: Wait, what happens if you add them together? [00:04:14] Speaker B: You get 15. [00:04:16] Speaker A: Oh, my God. [00:04:17] Speaker B: Yeah. Oh, goodness. [00:04:18] Speaker A: Wait, actually, give me a second. I don't think that's right. [00:04:20] Speaker C: No, that's right. Because seven plus seven is 14. [00:04:22] Speaker B: Seven one seven. [00:04:26] Speaker A: What could it mean? What could it mean? That reminds me of lost, because there's the numbers on lost, which were, like, famous. 4815, 1623, 42, and then 108 is the sum of them. And there are many reference. There's a lot of 108 stuff as well. [00:04:44] Speaker C: I was literally going to make a. It's a lesser version of a commercial aircraft joke. And it fits perfectly with lost, because, as we all know, lost begins with. [00:04:53] Speaker B: A plane going down. [00:04:55] Speaker A: Oh, it does. Indeed it does. [00:04:57] Speaker C: That's literally all I know about lost. [00:05:00] Speaker A: Besides the fact I watched a lost. I watched the first episode of Mrs. Davis. That show is wild. [00:05:07] Speaker C: Nice, Wanda. [00:05:09] Speaker B: Wanda's excited to watch it. She was like, we're going to watch that, right? [00:05:13] Speaker C: And I was like, hell yeah, we are. [00:05:14] Speaker B: And she says, yes. [00:05:16] Speaker A: Nun versus AI. It's wild, though. I thought it was like a nun at a school. It's way more like Sci-Fi and different than I thought it was. [00:05:24] Speaker C: Nice. I was wondering. [00:05:25] Speaker A: It was like a regular world nun. [00:05:27] Speaker C: I was wondering if you were going to watch it since it was a Damon Lindelof. [00:05:31] Speaker A: Of course. [00:05:33] Speaker C: I was literally sitting there talking to Wanda, and I was like, oh, hey, that's one of the producers of lost. Oh, I wonder if Johnny's going to watch it. And then she just rolled her eyes. [00:05:40] Speaker B: Because, you know. [00:05:44] Speaker C: She'S like, we're watching tv now. You think about me, not Johnny, me. [00:05:49] Speaker A: I mean, he has created, like, three of my favorite television shows, which is. [00:05:53] Speaker B: Lost leftovers and, oh, watchmen was probably. [00:05:58] Speaker A: Going to like this one. Did you go on a. I need to rewatch Watchman? [00:06:01] Speaker C: You should have gone on a watchman site tour while you were in Tulsa. Again, be like, that was in the show. [00:06:07] Speaker A: Yeah, Watchman tour in Tulsa. [00:06:09] Speaker C: That was in the show. [00:06:10] Speaker A: It could be a watchman, tulsa king. [00:06:12] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:06:13] Speaker A: Crossover. [00:06:13] Speaker C: Real cool. You could take him to the airport where immediately upon stepping outside, he gets a bug in his face. [00:06:19] Speaker A: I was trying to explain to my dad that Watchmen, what Watchmen was, and that it took place in Tulsa, and I just completely confused him. I mean, he has no touchstone. I was like, it's a sequel to an old comic book, but it's not a comic book. It's not based on a comic book. It's its own thing. [00:06:36] Speaker B: And he was just like. [00:06:38] Speaker A: He's like, why does it take place in Tulsa? Like, well, if you remember way back in 1908 or 19, something really bad happened to Tulsa. [00:06:50] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:06:50] Speaker A: And that was such a brilliant jumping off point for him. What an interesting idea for a watchman sequel. [00:06:56] Speaker B: Yeah, it was really, because real interesting. [00:06:59] Speaker A: At the time of Watchmen, it was the fear of the other, of the Russian, and then now America is afraid or angry at itself, I feel like. And that was good, too, that he made that a part of the show, I thought. [00:07:13] Speaker B: Yeah, it was really well done. Really well done. [00:07:17] Speaker A: It was also weirdly prophetic because. [00:07:21] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:07:22] Speaker A: The mass, right before the mass thing started, I think it ended, like, December, November of 2019, I'm pretty sure. And then the pandemic happened. I'm like, we're in watchman now, only a lot less fun. [00:07:35] Speaker C: What did your dad think when you got around to explaining Lube man didn't get there? Probably for the best, because if you don't experience Lube man the way he was intended in media lube, then it's kind of like a barrier. [00:07:56] Speaker A: It's like, I had the talk with my dad, like he did me when I was a kid, but I'm like, dad, I got to tell you about Lube man. Take a seat, dad. Cat Stevens starts playing. [00:08:08] Speaker C: I have some friends who were trying to because they recently auctioned off a lot of the props from that show, so they auctioned off, like, the car and Lube man's suit. And my friends were like, we got to get Lube man's suit, you guys. And one of them lives in Tulsa. [00:08:24] Speaker A: Slide around town in it. [00:08:25] Speaker C: One of them lives in Tulsa and was like, I could find that gutter that he slides into to run away from Sister Mercy. He would probably get stuck, though, and then it would be an embarrassment, but he would try. It would be great. [00:08:38] Speaker A: Well, we don't want to get stuck talking about Lube and Watchmen. [00:08:42] Speaker B: So it's time to move on to the spawn. [00:08:45] Speaker C: Let's slick ourselves up and dive into these issues, Johnny. [00:08:49] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. So our first classic issue, we're on a new arc for King Spawn because. [00:08:55] Speaker B: They tend to do kind of six. [00:08:57] Speaker A: Issue arcs, or pods, I guess you could say, of storytelling. Even though they're all connected. It seems like there's one thing that's. [00:09:05] Speaker B: More important per pod. [00:09:07] Speaker A: And this is kind of the court of priests black Asriel section. [00:09:12] Speaker C: Yeah. This is because we just wrapped up the Jason Wyn, sort of the return of Jason Nguyen and how he's messing. [00:09:22] Speaker B: And now it's like the powers beyond. [00:09:25] Speaker C: Jason Wyn who employed him. [00:09:26] Speaker B: So we're taking a. Yeah, he was just the banker. Yeah. [00:09:30] Speaker A: He's not the king or he's not the leader. [00:09:33] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:09:33] Speaker A: And then kind of going into that. There's a lot of Fun raven spawn stuff in this section, if I remember correctly. [00:09:38] Speaker C: Yes, indeed. [00:09:40] Speaker A: I don't think it comes until next. [00:09:41] Speaker C: Issue, if I may. Johnny the cabal is fully operational. It's a trap. [00:09:48] Speaker A: Indeed they are. [00:09:50] Speaker B: Don't do it. [00:09:51] Speaker A: It is a trap. The God thrones a trap. Don't do it. [00:09:53] Speaker C: Don't do it, spawny. [00:09:54] Speaker A: So this is all the way back in the far off land of February 2022. So a little over a year ago, as of this record. [00:10:02] Speaker B: Yes. [00:10:05] Speaker A: What cover do you have there, David? [00:10:07] Speaker C: I have cover number b. Cover number b. [00:10:11] Speaker A: Cover number b. [00:10:12] Speaker B: Cover b. [00:10:13] Speaker C: And it is the Javi Fernandez cover. And it's got king Spawn and all his Cheney glory standing Kaiju style in. [00:10:22] Speaker B: The middle of New York City, just. [00:10:25] Speaker A: Glaring Kaiju spawn glaring down at all. [00:10:30] Speaker C: That he reigns over. [00:10:32] Speaker B: And in typical Javi Fernandez fashion, it is wonderful. [00:10:39] Speaker A: He would be a level five, threat. Level kaiju. [00:10:42] Speaker C: Yeah. He's the kind of kaiju, the Pacific Rim scale that they would have to hope that godzilla is on their side this time. So that way they know they have a protector. [00:10:52] Speaker B: But I guess that's only if spawn. [00:10:54] Speaker C: Then starts attacking the earth. Because Godzilla is the protector of earth. [00:10:58] Speaker B: Right. And that's how. [00:10:59] Speaker A: Yeah, he would be the protector. Or I was thinking, like, pacific Rim. You get, like, cherno Alpha in there. Can I say, gypsy danger. [00:11:09] Speaker B: Probably not. [00:11:10] Speaker A: I mean, it was the name of the robot. [00:11:14] Speaker B: It's a proper noun, but I don't know. [00:11:16] Speaker C: You said it once. Let's leave it at once. [00:11:19] Speaker A: Let's leave it at once. And there was a question. It wasn't me saying it with confidence. It was me. Get. You get a big, giant kaiju spawn. He's just, like, lording over New York. [00:11:31] Speaker B: City, and his feet kind of melt. [00:11:35] Speaker A: Into, like, a river of blood. The streets are like rivers of blood. [00:11:39] Speaker C: It's like New York as Venice, but with blood instead of, ah. [00:11:45] Speaker A: Not too far from the truth. [00:11:46] Speaker C: Oh, I was about to say, his pouches have to be, like, three stories tall, at least, on his thigh there. Imagine when you could store a car in each pouch. [00:11:56] Speaker A: Oh, my God, you could just store so much. I love this cover. Love the chains. You get some good chain, like, right off the bat in this issue, actually, I've got the a cover, which is by Bjorn Barons. Of course. I should have just known without looking. I was about to say it, but I had to check. [00:12:12] Speaker B: Yeah, Bjorn Barons, you got Raven spawn. [00:12:16] Speaker A: Looking downright fucking evil badass. [00:12:19] Speaker B: Like, just sitting there with a skythe. [00:12:22] Speaker A: Yeah, he's got on one end of the chain, skythe. He's got, like, a dude hanging that's getting his eye plucked out by a raven. [00:12:29] Speaker B: He's got another raven. [00:12:30] Speaker A: That's like eating a brain. [00:12:32] Speaker C: You got some just, like, hanging out there. Asylves hanging from the heavens, and they're just, like, hanging on them like perches or. No, wait, that's a hand. [00:12:40] Speaker B: Shit, yeah, there's a hand. [00:12:42] Speaker A: There's a foot, a leg. It's just body parts. [00:12:45] Speaker B: Oh, man. Man. [00:12:47] Speaker C: Raven Spawn is a badass motherfucker. [00:12:50] Speaker A: He's scary, man. [00:12:51] Speaker C: If they. [00:12:51] Speaker A: I like that one. Raven is just, like, very curiously looking at the brain. It's like, I wonder if I should eat this? [00:12:57] Speaker C: He's like, am I actually hungry, or am I just bored? [00:13:02] Speaker A: A question I ask myself all the. [00:13:03] Speaker C: Time, way too many times for me to feel comfortable about this conversation anymore. But I can only imagine the HBO king spawn television show. The episode where Raven Spawn first comes into the picture has got to be just like, a midseason break. No, it's got to be a midseason break. So that way you see this fucking badass just saunter it, and it's like, what the fuck is that? And then you don't get any more episodes for, like, two more months, and it's like, but take me back to the spooky guy. [00:13:39] Speaker A: The art of the lost cliffhanger. The midseason cliffhanger. I always love that. [00:13:43] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:13:44] Speaker A: I have a lost art now. [00:13:46] Speaker C: It's not so much a cliffhanger to keep us on, but it's like, why is there not an episode this week? Damn it. [00:13:51] Speaker A: Well, now it's going to be a midseason cliffhanger for fucking everything because this writer strikes, looming. [00:13:55] Speaker C: Oh, I haven't heard about that. [00:13:57] Speaker B: But I mean. [00:13:58] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, there's a first time since 2007, there's a writer strike looming, which they rightfully should strike because they're not getting any kind of residuals from all this. They're getting really bad residuals for all this streaming stuff. [00:14:09] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:14:10] Speaker A: It's funny because the 2007 fight was for dvd rights. [00:14:13] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:14:15] Speaker A: And this is the fight for streaming. [00:14:17] Speaker C: The song remains the same, Johnny. [00:14:19] Speaker B: The song remains the same, indeed. [00:14:22] Speaker A: Also in dvd news this week, did you hear that Netflix is stopping dvds? [00:14:27] Speaker C: I did. I actually was a huge proponent of continuing to get Netflix dvds until about mid pandemic, when I ran out of. [00:14:36] Speaker B: Time to watch them. But the catalog that they had on. [00:14:39] Speaker C: DVD was fucking incredible because they didn't have to fight for streaming rights. And it's really sad to see him. [00:14:46] Speaker B: Go because red box, while reasonably okay, has. [00:14:50] Speaker A: It's like, got a lot of filler. [00:14:54] Speaker B: It's blockbuster versus the video rental booth. [00:15:00] Speaker C: At the grocery store. [00:15:03] Speaker A: Yes, exactly. I mean, that's what red box is. It has replaced that tiny little room off to the side of the grocery store. Those are always interesting. [00:15:10] Speaker C: That's where I rented the shadow for the first time. It was Albertson's in my hometown. [00:15:14] Speaker A: I feel like those always had, like, seed. They seemed seedier. And they had more horror movies. They said, like, more seedy stuff. [00:15:20] Speaker C: Yeah, they had less grocery store. They didn't have so much blockbusters as kind of, like, just the smaller things. [00:15:28] Speaker B: That nobody else cared. [00:15:30] Speaker C: It was the offcasts, basically. [00:15:32] Speaker B: Cast offs. Cast offs. [00:15:34] Speaker A: I do have memories of definitely my mom checking out at Albertson's in Tulsa. [00:15:39] Speaker B: And me just being like, I'm going. [00:15:40] Speaker A: To look at the videos. And that's when I would look at all the horror ones I didn't want her to know I was looking at. And I'd just look at the covers, and they had those orange or green stickers or red stickers that said horror on it. Like those little round stickers. [00:15:50] Speaker C: Johnny, we did the exact same thing as children. [00:15:54] Speaker A: Yeah, I know. It was either that or the magazines or both. [00:15:58] Speaker C: Yeah. You got to ask your mom if you can look at the videos. [00:16:04] Speaker B: As. [00:16:04] Speaker C: Soon as you're done putting all the items on the conveyor belt so you have the most time to look at the things you know you're not supposed to look at before your mom comes over. [00:16:13] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:16:14] Speaker A: Just look at the horror movies and be like, oh, my God. Oh, my God. [00:16:18] Speaker C: I had to adjust my tactic if my sister was with us, because I know my sister wouldn't rat me out for looking at the things I shouldn't look at, but I know that she would then have it as ammunition, and I didn't need to give her that because it was already a pretty easy target to begin with. [00:16:38] Speaker B: Right. My brother was pretty. [00:16:40] Speaker A: We were on the same level on that of, like, we're going to look at bad stuff. [00:16:44] Speaker B: Yeah. At least for that. [00:16:45] Speaker A: At least for looking at blockbuster. There's always the trek down the horror aisle, which was always terrifying. Yeah, I don't know, the covers of block, like, just, like, walking down the horror aisle. Blockbuster would, like, freak me the fuck out. [00:16:57] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. Oh, man. Much like the dead alive cover is. [00:17:07] Speaker C: Something I do not know the world without. I mean, I literally don't know the world without dead alive. [00:17:12] Speaker B: But it was always a tape that. [00:17:15] Speaker C: Was always there, and it was always like. And then when I finally got around. [00:17:19] Speaker B: To watching it, I watched it online. [00:17:22] Speaker C: Instead of on physical version, so I didn't have the tape. And then when I finished it, I did some googling, and I was like, oh, holy shit. That's that thing that I've been seeing in my whole life. [00:17:31] Speaker A: Same with evil dead two with the eyeball. Skull, anything skull with an eyeball, I guess. Got me. [00:17:36] Speaker B: Yeah, that's a classic fucking. [00:17:40] Speaker C: You still have that t shirt? [00:17:41] Speaker A: Evil dead two one. [00:17:41] Speaker B: Freaked me out. Do you still have that t shirt? [00:17:43] Speaker A: It is pulverized. [00:17:45] Speaker C: Oh, no. [00:17:46] Speaker A: I wore it so much. [00:17:47] Speaker B: Oh, man. [00:17:49] Speaker C: R-I-P evil dead t shirt. [00:17:51] Speaker A: Equally as scary as walking down the blockbuster film aisle is the nightmare imagery of king spawn that we get this issue. [00:17:59] Speaker B: Yeah. And of course, as always, written by. [00:18:03] Speaker A: Sean Lewis with Tom McFarlane doing additional edits this time. [00:18:08] Speaker B: Yeah, that's just some edits. [00:18:11] Speaker C: It's a particular one, I bet, because. [00:18:13] Speaker A: It deals with Wanda's backstory and, like, her death. He kind of pruned that a little bit, so he'd probably be a little bit protective of that, I imagine. [00:18:20] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:18:21] Speaker A: And he mentions in the spawning grounds that there were discussions on how best to execute this, because it's a big reveal if you've been following, because originally up till now, God said that it. [00:18:32] Speaker B: Was just a random act, and it wasn't. Yeah, God lied. How dare she? But what doesn't lie is that the art is amazing. [00:18:43] Speaker A: We got Javi Fernandez and Thomas Notchlick in here as well. We get both. [00:18:48] Speaker C: That's a powerful team. [00:18:49] Speaker B: Right? [00:18:50] Speaker A: Even I couldn't even figure out where the switchover was. Okay, there it is. It's the very. [00:18:55] Speaker B: The Thomas Notchlick does the green world. [00:18:57] Speaker A: Then we have colors by FCO, placentia lettering by, and world design. And we've already mentioned our cover artists. And then, of course, the Todd father and Thomas Healy as creative director and EIC editor in chief coming in there. And cleaner up. [00:19:16] Speaker C: He chiefly edits. [00:19:17] Speaker B: Chiefly edits. [00:19:18] Speaker A: Was eating a chiefly looking lobster tail this weekend. Yeah, I know. [00:19:22] Speaker C: That's why we gotta be friends with him, Johnny. So he'll buy us food. [00:19:26] Speaker A: Eats good, and he does Satan shit and eats good food. It seems like. [00:19:29] Speaker B: Yeah, seems like a great hang. [00:19:32] Speaker A: So previously in King Spawn, the battle with disruptor comes to a grisly end. But was this the plan all along? Who are the court of priests? And what is the God throne? I always love it when, like, either Star wars or something like this has something in all caps. This is the dreaded death Star. [00:19:55] Speaker B: Yeah, the court of priests. [00:19:57] Speaker C: Oh, man. I'm very excited about getting to meet. [00:20:02] Speaker B: This court of priests, Johnny, because if. [00:20:05] Speaker C: We know anything about me, it's that. [00:20:07] Speaker B: We love a secret cabal of major. [00:20:11] Speaker C: Players that live in the tops of buildings. [00:20:16] Speaker A: Lives at the tops of buildings. [00:20:18] Speaker B: They're called a court. [00:20:19] Speaker A: That's what David's all about. [00:20:21] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:20:22] Speaker C: I just want to live on, like, the 120th floor and control somebody else's life from there. That's all I want to do. Johnny. [00:20:32] Speaker B: Is that too much to ask? [00:20:34] Speaker A: I mean, in America, no. A lot of people do that. [00:20:37] Speaker B: A lot of people live in high. [00:20:38] Speaker A: Buildings and control people's lives. So you could do it one day. I just want to work in a high building. [00:20:44] Speaker C: I want to be Tom Hiddleston in high rise, but before the breakdown of the society that leads to the high rise being his safe house, if that makes any sense. [00:20:55] Speaker A: I never saw that, but I know the premise. Okay. [00:20:57] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:20:59] Speaker A: Worth a watch. [00:21:01] Speaker B: I don't think so. Yeah. [00:21:03] Speaker A: It doesn't sound like. [00:21:04] Speaker B: I don't think so. [00:21:06] Speaker C: Okay, there's some cool shots, but it's. [00:21:09] Speaker B: A premise done better elsewhere. [00:21:13] Speaker C: It's a little on the nose for what it is. If you're going to watch a movie about the lower levels leading an uprising in a hierarchical building that mirrors both economic socioeconomic status. [00:21:31] Speaker B: Just watch dread, right. [00:21:34] Speaker A: I was wondering, dread or the raid? [00:21:36] Speaker B: Oh, man. [00:21:37] Speaker C: The raid is good, but the raid is less of a socioeconomic. [00:21:42] Speaker A: It doesn't have any kind of. Doesn't really. It reminds me of dread because it's like fighting through a building. [00:21:47] Speaker C: Oh, man. The raid is great, though, if you want to just strap in for, like, 56 minutes of pure adrenaline. [00:21:55] Speaker B: Oh, man. [00:21:56] Speaker A: You literally have so funny that those guys show up in the Force awakens that immediately get eaten by a raptor. [00:22:01] Speaker B: They don't even fight. [00:22:03] Speaker C: Oh, man. [00:22:03] Speaker A: It's like, oh, it's the guys from the raid. Oh, hell, yeah. [00:22:06] Speaker B: They get eaten. [00:22:10] Speaker C: When I watched it, I felt like I should have been sitting in one of those sports car seats with the harness seatbelt, so that way I didn't fall off the couch. The raid is incredible. If you haven't seen the raid or. [00:22:23] Speaker B: Dread, y'all go watch both of them right now. [00:22:27] Speaker C: Excellent films, both. [00:22:28] Speaker A: And then you want to fight your way through a building. Spawn is fighting his way through the alleys, though. [00:22:33] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. He's doing, like, a spider impression, where instead of soaking himself down to the bottom there, he lowers himself via chains. [00:22:42] Speaker B: Well, it's been cool, because I've been. [00:22:43] Speaker A: Rewatching the HBO show just, like, popping it on, and I love how his chains hiss in that when they start moving around, they're really scary. This kind of reminds me of that. [00:22:54] Speaker C: Oh, man, Johnny, we forget that Spawn. [00:22:57] Speaker B: Is scary as heck. He's a scary dude. So, yeah, Terry and Spawn just shadow blasted back from Botswana. And Terry. [00:23:09] Speaker C: Terry's just blasting dudes in the face left and right here, man. [00:23:13] Speaker B: Spawn's got chains. [00:23:14] Speaker A: He's got electricity. He's got, like, necroelectricity going on. It's all kinds of stuff. [00:23:18] Speaker C: It's beautiful. [00:23:19] Speaker A: And it's, like, raining. [00:23:20] Speaker B: It's great. [00:23:21] Speaker C: Yeah, it's beautiful. [00:23:23] Speaker A: So they're going after the people behind Jason Wynn and the Exodus foundation is the bank that runs psalms one three seven, and, yeah, they're kicking these guys ass. [00:23:33] Speaker B: Oh, man. [00:23:33] Speaker C: And Spawn's shooting out some kind of. It looks like he's turning their bullets around and shooting them back at him. [00:23:40] Speaker B: Back at them. No, that's what he's doing. [00:23:42] Speaker A: Yeah, he's, like, sucking them out of his own body. [00:23:44] Speaker C: Yeah, look, they go through him completely, and then he, like, sucks them back in and then shoots him out of his. Oh, man, that's badass. I didn't realize when I was reading this last night, that that's what happened. Oh, that is so cool. It's like when you're a little kid and you're in the shower and you make the water come off your fingertips, and you're like, I have powers. [00:24:06] Speaker B: It's like that, only he's actually doing something. [00:24:09] Speaker A: Yeah, I love that. He, like, sucks the bullets back up, shoots them at his hands. [00:24:14] Speaker B: Pretty cool. [00:24:15] Speaker C: It's a grizzly detail. It's so great. [00:24:17] Speaker A: Wind had talked about bringing Wanda back is kind of what the narration's saying, but it sounded like she was already back. [00:24:23] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:24:25] Speaker C: It's a little bit of spawn thinking that wind doth protest too much. [00:24:30] Speaker A: And this is where you first noticed. [00:24:31] Speaker B: That psalms has marked out one, three, seven, and with an eleven. [00:24:38] Speaker C: Yeah, this little patch. It looks like they gave a marker. [00:24:42] Speaker B: To the fucking Joker and just let. [00:24:45] Speaker C: Him write eleven on it, because it's a lot like the ha ha always are. [00:24:50] Speaker B: Yeah. Just kind of all over the place. [00:24:52] Speaker C: It's crazy. [00:24:54] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:24:54] Speaker C: Spawn's leading over this dude that he literally shot this dude's brains out. [00:24:58] Speaker B: Look at, there's goop on the ground. [00:25:00] Speaker A: Brain goop. Yeah. The Thomas notchelic like gore. So good. Even if you go down to the bottom panel, the previous page, just that gore of the brain coming out. [00:25:13] Speaker B: This is the hobby, isn't it? What did I say? [00:25:17] Speaker C: You said Thomas. You said the other guy, Johnny. [00:25:19] Speaker B: Okay, sorry. [00:25:21] Speaker A: The Javi Fernandez Gore is so good. It's so chunky always. [00:25:25] Speaker B: And it's just. [00:25:26] Speaker C: Yeah, the way I was thinking about it last night, so I love both Javi and Thomas. I think I love Javi more than Thomas. Nothing against Thomas, but the way I think about Javi's stuff is rounder, whereas Thomas's has more of an edge and just the texture that that roundness gives all of the goop and the gore, it's just like, I can feel it, and it's great. It just adds that extra dimension of. To it. [00:25:58] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. [00:26:00] Speaker A: It's like I was like, little bubbles on. [00:26:04] Speaker C: It's the things that I know that if my mom saw me reading this, she would be like, what is that garbage? And it's like, well, that's why I want to read it, because you got to think it's garbage. And it's. It's good and it's delicious, and it's wonderful. So Terry and Spawn are having a conversation. [00:26:20] Speaker B: Man, this is a rough conversation. [00:26:26] Speaker A: Yeah. Can you imagine? Like, hey, you want to bring back. She's actually my dead wife, but. [00:26:33] Speaker B: Oh, man, spawn is just being a jerk. [00:26:36] Speaker C: To Terry, we get a reason why he's doing it, but it's just like, oh, man. [00:26:42] Speaker A: Yeah, you don't like to see him fight. [00:26:43] Speaker C: But as we see when Terry starts freaking out and punching the wall. [00:26:51] Speaker B: Know. [00:26:51] Speaker C: Spawn and Terry have worked together a. [00:26:53] Speaker B: Lot, and Terry breaks codes. [00:26:56] Speaker C: He's a code breaker as part of his stuff. [00:26:59] Speaker B: And Al learned a long time ago. [00:27:02] Speaker C: That Terry is much better at his job when he is pissed off. [00:27:06] Speaker A: I love how he figures this is like a video game puzzle, like a movie puzzle, you know what I mean? Like, whenever they're in a movie, they have to solve a puzzle. It's always, like, not really a puzzle. [00:27:16] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:27:17] Speaker A: But I do love that he figures it out by he's punching the wall, his fist makes, like, a minus, and he turns it into a plus. [00:27:23] Speaker C: Eleven. It's the sum. It's what the numbers of psalm 137 add up to. [00:27:28] Speaker A: Then we get another one of these, like, Twitter discord pages. [00:27:31] Speaker B: Yeah, we got. That's cool. [00:27:33] Speaker C: Stinker believer 23 here. Being a troll, as they are rightly. [00:27:38] Speaker B: Called out as the 11th hour, I. [00:27:41] Speaker C: Like how when somebody asks what that even means, he just doubles down on saying 11th hour. [00:27:49] Speaker A: Rico Nassi wants to know. [00:27:51] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:27:52] Speaker C: Bunch of assholes saying psalms. [00:27:54] Speaker A: Dark queen. Is that Wanda? Wanda's on there? [00:27:58] Speaker C: Yeah, that's where Wanda's soul is saved before. That's her hell as she has to be stuck in the Internet. [00:28:08] Speaker B: Which level of hell would that be, discord? [00:28:12] Speaker A: Oh, that'd be the deep, deep, deep level of hell. [00:28:14] Speaker B: Oh, man. [00:28:15] Speaker A: That's for the only. The truly evil people go. [00:28:18] Speaker C: You'd be praying for those psychic guy shrimp. [00:28:21] Speaker A: Basically, this guy just screams 11th hour at every 11th hour at everybody. Hashtag 11th hour. [00:28:27] Speaker C: Trying to get everybody at the rally. [00:28:29] Speaker B: At the Exodus building where they're going. [00:28:31] Speaker C: To do some. [00:28:35] Speaker B: What'S the very word? [00:28:37] Speaker C: Heavy phrase? Creative historical reenactment. [00:28:42] Speaker B: No. Anachronistic bath. There's. [00:28:47] Speaker C: There's some fancy way of saying historical cosplay. So they're going to historical cosplay at the Exodus building. The events of March 11, as we will learn. [00:28:58] Speaker B: A big day. A big day. [00:29:01] Speaker A: And in biblical terms, eleven denotes the. [00:29:03] Speaker B: Number of chaos chows. [00:29:06] Speaker A: Eleven priests working at spawn, hiding in the shadows, some still in the shadows. And then you get David's favorite part. They're on a building. [00:29:14] Speaker B: They're in a building up on an upper floor, just hanging out, looking out. [00:29:20] Speaker C: The window, looking at their protest. [00:29:23] Speaker A: They got Ab and zab. [00:29:25] Speaker B: You got godsend, the comedian, and you get a hooded. [00:29:32] Speaker A: We got tremor. [00:29:33] Speaker C: We got a hooded figure. We got a dude who looks like Vladimir Lenin. [00:29:38] Speaker A: Yeah, well, I was wondering who that. [00:29:39] Speaker C: Guy is, but I don't mean we. [00:29:42] Speaker B: Don'T have to care for much longer, do we? [00:29:44] Speaker A: Oh, it's Wynn, isn't it? [00:29:46] Speaker B: No, it's mammon. [00:29:48] Speaker C: He literally calls him. [00:29:49] Speaker A: Oh, it's mammon. Right, sorry. [00:29:54] Speaker C: He tries to call this hooded dude out for theatrics. And the hooded dude is like, theatrics, and then has a little bitty meltdown that his operatic attempts to capture spawn have been questioned. He does have theatrics, and that's what makes it great. [00:30:15] Speaker B: And we learn that this dude's name. [00:30:17] Speaker C: Is Mammon, and then he gets beat up. And then we learn that the dude. [00:30:21] Speaker B: In the cloak who's beating mammon up is black Azriel, and mammon can turn. [00:30:27] Speaker A: Into a lizard man. [00:30:28] Speaker C: Yeah, lizard man. [00:30:29] Speaker B: Look at him there. But so we got kind of like. [00:30:32] Speaker A: The creature for the black lagoon. [00:30:34] Speaker C: Yeah, but black Asriel, who, as we remember, is crazy. One winged alien. Angel. [00:30:42] Speaker A: He's a one winged alien. He's Sephiroth, baby. A one winged angel. That's too bad you don't know that song. You would love singing that. [00:30:50] Speaker C: Yeah, probably I would. [00:30:52] Speaker A: So there's a final fantasy song called one Winged angel. [00:30:55] Speaker B: Okay. And it literally, it goes, oh, man. [00:31:05] Speaker C: I would sing that all the time. [00:31:07] Speaker A: Well, you're going to get a chance to sing one of your favorites here in a bit. [00:31:10] Speaker B: Oh, am I? [00:31:12] Speaker A: If you recall? [00:31:15] Speaker C: I do recall. The one I'm thinking of is in. [00:31:18] Speaker B: The next issue, though. [00:31:22] Speaker A: Okay. [00:31:24] Speaker C: We're talking about the same thing. [00:31:26] Speaker A: Yep. I can't see that word without thinking of you singing it now. So mission accomplished. [00:31:33] Speaker C: You're welcome. You're welcome. But yeah. So Asriel just takes mammon and slams him down on the throne, the God throne that they built the God throne on. And he immediately just gets souls trying to leave through his body. [00:31:49] Speaker B: Oh, that's painful. Look at that. [00:31:52] Speaker C: He's got that. It's like the Freddy Krueger action where he's got all the souls. [00:31:58] Speaker A: Exactly. The Freddy Krueger chest that used to freak me out so much. [00:32:01] Speaker C: Yeah, from the. [00:32:02] Speaker B: Also, it's funny because it's like the God. [00:32:05] Speaker A: What movie was that? It was one of the Fast and Furious, I think maybe fast and furious, too. They're torturing a guy, so they put. [00:32:10] Speaker B: A pot on his stomach and they. [00:32:12] Speaker A: Start heating it up. There's rats inside. So the rats are going to chew through him? [00:32:16] Speaker B: Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's fast and too fast. [00:32:19] Speaker A: Too furious. Maybe I'm mixing them up. [00:32:21] Speaker B: Oh, man. [00:32:22] Speaker A: I think it's been used in a couple movies. [00:32:24] Speaker C: Yeah, it's been used in a few of them. I think there was maybe a Vietnam. [00:32:28] Speaker B: Movie that had it that way too. Oh, there was, wasn't it? There might have been platoon. [00:32:35] Speaker C: I mean, all the Vietnam movies kind of run together, so. [00:32:39] Speaker A: Yeah, they're not exactly fun movies to watch. [00:32:41] Speaker B: Yeah, no hot take. [00:32:43] Speaker A: Vietnam war bad. [00:32:47] Speaker C: Well, when you basically purchase a war from the French that the French have been losing for 30 years, it doesn't take much imagination to be like, oh, it's not a good war. [00:33:04] Speaker B: It's a bad war, man. [00:33:06] Speaker C: Yeah, we fucking left our fucking servicemen out to dry on that one. Hey, go do this bullshit that we know is a crapshoot, and then when. [00:33:18] Speaker B: You come back, we'll just fucking be. [00:33:21] Speaker C: Shitty to you and. [00:33:24] Speaker B: Not cover the. [00:33:25] Speaker C: Cost of the health care you need for all the bullshit we inadvertently dropped. [00:33:30] Speaker B: On you, much less, like, mental health at that time. Yeah, not to mention what we did. [00:33:36] Speaker C: To the fucking vietnamese people. Christ. Yeah, that's some bullshit. [00:33:43] Speaker B: And they're still in it. [00:33:47] Speaker C: We left and we're like, okay, here. [00:33:49] Speaker B: Have a country that we fucking ruined. [00:33:53] Speaker C: For you and hope your children are. [00:33:55] Speaker B: Okay and those children aren't okay. [00:33:58] Speaker A: Very court of priest thing to do. Wait, are we the baddies? [00:34:02] Speaker C: Yeah, Johnny, we're the baddies. We definitely. [00:34:05] Speaker A: We're the baddies. I'm a son of the Empire. [00:34:07] Speaker B: You are a son of the Empire. Shit. Yeah, well, but at least you get myself, I guess. [00:34:16] Speaker C: At least they've got those yellow cookie rations, right? Apparently, the guy who played that professor in that episode of Mandalorian. [00:34:28] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:34:29] Speaker C: They had to force him to stop eating the cookies because he thought they were so delicious that he would just go through the stack of them, and they were like, the prop guys are sick of making them stop eating the cookie. [00:34:40] Speaker A: Yeah, the Mandalorians had some Star wars food stuff. Like, you get the macaroons that baby Yoda eats at that school. [00:34:48] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:34:49] Speaker C: You get the frog, he eats the frogs. [00:34:53] Speaker A: Frog, ladies, babies. [00:34:54] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:34:55] Speaker C: The shows have been just chock full of food, especially Andor. It's got, like, the 70s Star wars food, and it's great. [00:35:07] Speaker A: Yeah, I love the Star wars dishware. It's, like, all plastic tupperware, like dishwear. [00:35:13] Speaker C: It's literally, like, the cups that my aunt had because she had three boys, and she was like, if I bring a glass in this house, it will be broken and in somebody's foot within three minutes. [00:35:27] Speaker A: I had a cup that I got at a thrift store just because it was, like, a tube. It's, like, the one that Luke drinks out of in a new Hope. It was, like, an opaque plastic tube. [00:35:34] Speaker C: Nice. [00:35:35] Speaker A: I had that cup forever, so I. [00:35:37] Speaker B: Was like, it's my blue belt cup. [00:35:38] Speaker A: Well, we got red milk or red blood spraying everywhere from mammon. He just, like, explodes with blood. [00:35:44] Speaker C: Yeah, because apparently there's too much power in that throne for anybody who's not. [00:35:52] Speaker B: Spawned to sit on. [00:35:54] Speaker C: I do like the. You are the court of priests act like it. [00:35:58] Speaker A: And he's like, when do you tend to Mammoth's wounds? I'm like, I don't know, man. He might be done. [00:36:03] Speaker C: Oh, man, it's so bad. Like, he's got goop on his shoulder. I can't tell if that's goop from somewhere else that landed on his shoulder or goop because something broke out of his shoulder. Because, I mean, those spirits are going every which way. Could you imagine, like, a spirit somehow breaking out of your shoulder? [00:36:23] Speaker B: That seems like it would be awful. [00:36:26] Speaker A: Seems incredibly painful. [00:36:28] Speaker B: Oh, man. [00:36:31] Speaker A: So we're back to the rainy kind of protest here. [00:36:35] Speaker B: You get, like, a cool, crazy, like, Jason mask guy. [00:36:39] Speaker A: Someone has a sword. [00:36:41] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:36:42] Speaker C: This is a fucked up rally, dude. [00:36:44] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:36:44] Speaker A: Don't bring a sword to a protest. [00:36:46] Speaker B: Come on. Yeah. And then we get a little previously. [00:36:50] Speaker C: See spawn resurrection number one. Weren't one of the lots of books we were looking at once. Didn't it have resurrection? Did we end up getting that one, or is that not one we'll get? [00:37:03] Speaker A: I have a copy of Spawn resurrection. I unfortunately got in on a plane last night. And was feeling a little under the weather, so I was going to read it, but I only got through these two just because I'd just been traveling, so. Sorry, everybody. [00:37:17] Speaker B: That's okay. [00:37:18] Speaker C: The important bit is in the back. [00:37:19] Speaker B: Of this book, right? [00:37:23] Speaker A: Yeah, exactly. So it's kind of, like, basically a facsimile, or, like a. Is that how you say that word? [00:37:29] Speaker C: A facsimile? [00:37:30] Speaker B: Facsimile. [00:37:31] Speaker A: Facsimile. I'd said it. [00:37:33] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:37:34] Speaker A: It's like a copy or an echo of Wanda's death. It's supposed to bring. [00:37:39] Speaker B: It's a xerox. [00:37:40] Speaker A: Memories out of spawn. A xerox. [00:37:43] Speaker C: Spawn resurrection number one is where Wanda dies. And so Terry and Spawn stumble across this just unruly group of people at this rally. Like, look, they're already beating somebody up. [00:37:56] Speaker A: And spawn just gets. He's intercutting Wanda's death. [00:38:01] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:38:01] Speaker A: And you get a really sad spawn. He's sad. [00:38:03] Speaker C: Oh, man. I was just about to say, he's so sad. [00:38:08] Speaker B: And there's both watching the car go into the crowd, and then they get. [00:38:15] Speaker C: Stuck in the wrong place at the wrong time, like they keep saying. [00:38:18] Speaker B: And. [00:38:21] Speaker C: Both Terry and Al are overwhelmed by the whole thing. And Al lets loose with his emotions and kills the dude that's standing on. [00:38:30] Speaker B: The roof of her car with the. [00:38:31] Speaker C: Molotov cocktail and just obliterates him. [00:38:34] Speaker A: Literally vaporizes the dude. [00:38:36] Speaker C: Oh, man, look at this. Like, the skull is flying off, and the flesh is flying off the skull, and the jawbone is being. [00:38:42] Speaker A: Let's the jawbone. Yeah. This dude, like a jewel pod. [00:38:47] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:38:48] Speaker C: He got Terminator two judgment date there. Oh, yeah. [00:38:52] Speaker A: Just, like, eviscerated. [00:38:54] Speaker C: Yeah. But unfortunately, it doesn't change the fact at all of anything, because this is basically, like a hallucination they're having. And the simulation of this hallucination is going to end the same way no matter what they do. And so this eviscerated dude drops the Molotov cocktail that then falls on Wanda's car. And Terry's trying to catch it, but he can't get to it before it explodes. [00:39:20] Speaker A: Impotent to prevent a replay of his greatest loss. Well, hey, be nice about that with. [00:39:27] Speaker B: Spawn, I guess he was an impotent. [00:39:30] Speaker A: He just couldn't have children. [00:39:31] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:39:32] Speaker A: As the clown says in the animated series, you, a fire and blank. [00:39:40] Speaker B: Back for her most disgusting. [00:39:41] Speaker A: You came back for Wanda. [00:39:45] Speaker C: Whoever they got to do the voice of clown just, like, increases the creepiness factor by about 15%. [00:39:51] Speaker B: It's great. [00:39:52] Speaker A: He's so creepy, that one, because he's so, like, whispery black Azrael is like. [00:39:56] Speaker B: You must be asking, who would dare. [00:39:58] Speaker C: Do to this to it? Like, it's a fucking sitcom from the early 90s. [00:40:04] Speaker A: You got to be wondering, how the hell did we get here? It was like a record scratch. [00:40:10] Speaker B: Oh, man. [00:40:11] Speaker A: You're probably wondering how I ended up here. Well, we did it. We're the quarter priests. So we killed your wife. [00:40:15] Speaker C: Yeah. They do a little James Bond villain monologue here, and then we cut from that, and Oracle and Simon are in the green world, literally watching this on. [00:40:26] Speaker B: Yeah, I love that. [00:40:28] Speaker C: The green world. IMax. [00:40:32] Speaker A: Just a lake. And this is where we switched to Thomas Nashlick. [00:40:35] Speaker C: Yeah, it is. [00:40:36] Speaker A: Who has been killing it with, just. [00:40:37] Speaker B: Like, messing around for his sketch war. [00:40:40] Speaker A: Most of all, that cool spawn stuff he's been doing. He did, like, a crime scene over the course of, like, four days. That was awesome. [00:40:46] Speaker C: Yeah, he's a good artist. [00:40:48] Speaker A: Absolutely killing it. [00:40:49] Speaker B: He's a good artist, dude. Hot take, Thomas. Natchlick. [00:40:53] Speaker C: Does good pictures. [00:40:54] Speaker B: We got, like, Simon. Simon being real sad, because he's putting. [00:41:00] Speaker C: Everything together, and it's like he's been told all these things, but now it's. [00:41:04] Speaker B: Finally, like, forming an actual. [00:41:10] Speaker C: He's finally understanding it, and he's just bummed his shit. [00:41:14] Speaker A: Also, they're really mean to him in this little part here. He's like, you're dead already, kid. [00:41:19] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:41:20] Speaker B: And then she picks him up and. [00:41:21] Speaker C: Tries to strangle him, and then he smashes. [00:41:24] Speaker A: We blew right through past your favorite name for Spawn. Trying to hurt Mr. Spawn. [00:41:28] Speaker C: Yeah, they're trying to hurt Mr. [00:41:29] Speaker B: Spawn. [00:41:31] Speaker C: And then Oracle says, Mr. [00:41:32] Speaker A: Spawn's wife. [00:41:33] Speaker C: Yeah, that Gaia is dying, like, Mr. [00:41:35] Speaker B: Spawn's wife. And then. [00:41:37] Speaker C: Yeah, after. After Oracle attacks Simon, and Simon smashes her hand with a rock. Gaia calls out to Oracle, and Oracle looks so pissed. Like, she looks like from the emperor's new groove right here. It makes me laugh. [00:41:54] Speaker A: She does. [00:41:55] Speaker B: Good call. [00:41:58] Speaker A: I mean, she's our left fielder. She got that growing arm. She'd be a great left fielder. [00:42:02] Speaker C: Yeah, she'll catch it right out of the air. [00:42:04] Speaker B: She'll catch it right out of the. [00:42:05] Speaker A: Air with her tree arm. [00:42:09] Speaker B: Look, she catches that rock. [00:42:12] Speaker A: Oh, no, she hits her with the rock. [00:42:14] Speaker B: Did she catch the rock and then flap? Yeah, then the flames come alive, and. [00:42:21] Speaker C: Gaia starts commanding Oracle. [00:42:25] Speaker A: Gaia does a real old testament, like, burning bush thing. [00:42:29] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:42:30] Speaker C: Then they got all the players here. So there's spawn up at the top there. And then clown and sin, and then. [00:42:37] Speaker B: Asriel with his one wing run one. [00:42:41] Speaker A: I think this is our first and only. [00:42:45] Speaker B: Thomas Notchlick. Sin so far. Yeah, as far as I know. [00:42:50] Speaker A: Or is that Javi Fernandez that did those little guys? It kind of looks like Javi Fernandez, because that top one definitely is. That's from, like, issue one or two? [00:42:57] Speaker C: Well, I think the top one and then the Kingslayer are Javi, but the middle two have that sort of square. [00:43:08] Speaker B: Jaggediness that Thomas has over Javi. So I think it's a spot you. [00:43:14] Speaker A: Can tell his characters always seem like they're in motion or like they're, like, mid motion. And that's what black Azrael looks like there. It looks like he's, like, mid motion. Thomas Notch, like, a lot of time. [00:43:24] Speaker B: His characters look like they're, like, in. [00:43:26] Speaker A: The middle of an action, as opposed to staying statically. Still, which is pretty cool. [00:43:29] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:43:29] Speaker A: But that's think of twitch issue we just covered. There's so much energy with them, like, waving their hands. [00:43:37] Speaker C: It's so vibrant. It's not as inherently energetic as Bret Booth's, but there is that energy there. So it's high energy, but it doesn't vibrate off the page like Brett Booth. [00:43:53] Speaker B: No. [00:43:53] Speaker A: It's just like you're seeing them in. [00:43:56] Speaker B: Motion, which is cool. Yeah. [00:43:58] Speaker A: And then there's a giant ass. [00:44:01] Speaker C: Because. Because Simon is now just wandering off in the snow. [00:44:05] Speaker B: Yes. Finds the big footprint, and he says. [00:44:08] Speaker C: Are you a friend? [00:44:10] Speaker B: Because he runs into a big. [00:44:12] Speaker A: Who could it be? [00:44:12] Speaker B: Who could it be? It's heap. It's heap the Hulk. [00:44:16] Speaker A: Everyone's favorite public domain character. [00:44:18] Speaker C: A monstrous heap composed of nature's discards. So he's literally Madame trash heap. But since it's nature's discards, he'd be Madam compost heap. [00:44:30] Speaker A: Kind of reminds me of pizza the hut. [00:44:32] Speaker B: Pizza the hut. [00:44:34] Speaker A: He ate himself to death, boss. [00:44:36] Speaker C: You're delicious. [00:44:40] Speaker A: When I was a kid, I thought it was so funny. He locked himself in his limo and ate himself to death. That was, like, my favorite thing. [00:44:45] Speaker B: Ate himself to death. [00:44:48] Speaker C: And then heap declares that he is Simon's teacher and that Simon is the Kingslayer. [00:44:54] Speaker B: And then bump bum bum. [00:44:56] Speaker A: The first time we hear that, we. [00:44:57] Speaker B: Close it out with Kingspawn brown logo. [00:45:04] Speaker A: And the spawning brown. This time it's the breakdown. [00:45:07] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:45:08] Speaker A: And they give a rundown of Wanda's death as it appeared in spawn resurrection. [00:45:13] Speaker C: Yes, indeed. [00:45:15] Speaker A: Which is pretty damn similar to how it appeared here. [00:45:18] Speaker C: Yeah. As Sean Lewis says in his little. [00:45:24] Speaker B: Explanation here, he says, I mentioned to. [00:45:28] Speaker C: Javi, what if we echoed the panels from spawn resurrection? So I spent last night, like, flipping back and forth between them and being like, oh, hey. [00:45:39] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:45:39] Speaker A: And the publication date of that book was March 11, which they made canon. [00:45:43] Speaker B: That that was the day that Wanda died. [00:45:48] Speaker A: Eleven is number of chaos. One three. Seven is eleven. That's funny, because I like that they used the date the comic came out. [00:45:56] Speaker B: Yeah. Because also, like loss, it premiered on September 23, 2004, and that was the. [00:46:07] Speaker A: Date that the plane crashed in canon was September 23, 2004. [00:46:12] Speaker C: It's like you're watching a live feed of a plane crash on the deserted island. [00:46:17] Speaker B: Oh, that island deserted, baby. [00:46:20] Speaker A: It's downright populated. You got others. You got the Darwin initiative. You got fucking, like, other others. [00:46:26] Speaker C: Is there a Greg initiative too? [00:46:29] Speaker A: Oh, my God. [00:46:31] Speaker B: All right, that's it. [00:46:34] Speaker A: Reg initiative. [00:46:35] Speaker C: That's it. [00:46:36] Speaker B: King spawn seven is done. King spawn seven is done with a. [00:46:41] Speaker A: Bad joke, but it's not in the issue. Just from David. [00:46:47] Speaker C: I'd have it no other way. [00:47:03] Speaker B: So next up it. [00:47:06] Speaker A: Bust out your wings, baby. It's time to take flight. Yeehaw. [00:47:10] Speaker C: Yeah. We're going to shoot our guns into the air because it's gunslinger time. [00:47:16] Speaker A: It's gunslinger time. Gunslinger 17. [00:47:20] Speaker C: We're going to Yosemite Sam up in this bitch. [00:47:22] Speaker B: I love this whole little. [00:47:23] Speaker A: I love this arc that it's been so far, like, this current. The crazy stuff in the desert. Then he goes into heaven. It's been a non stop battle. Like, Javi has it the hardest of all these fucking. [00:47:35] Speaker B: It's. [00:47:35] Speaker A: It's no wonder he wants to quit the scorch. She's like this shit. [00:47:40] Speaker C: Just. It's banana balls. It's bonkers. [00:47:44] Speaker A: It's banana balls. [00:47:47] Speaker B: It's bonkers. [00:47:48] Speaker A: It's like Looney Tunes. I have to think that desert setting is, like, a Looney tunes reference to, like, Wybie Coyote. They literally drop a boulder on him, and he's disappeared. That's like a roadrunner thing, like 100%. [00:48:00] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:48:02] Speaker C: Oh, man. It's the best. It's the best. [00:48:07] Speaker A: It was so much fun. It's such a Huhoot reading. [00:48:10] Speaker B: It's. [00:48:11] Speaker C: It's so much fun. [00:48:12] Speaker B: It doesn't give no fucks, Johnny. [00:48:14] Speaker C: It's gonna have a good time no matter what. [00:48:18] Speaker B: No matter what. [00:48:20] Speaker A: Despite all anyone's best efforts. [00:48:22] Speaker C: It doesn't need to act like it's a grown up. It knows what it is, and it's just going to do what it needs to do. [00:48:31] Speaker A: So what cover do you have, David? [00:48:33] Speaker C: I have cover b. I have the. [00:48:39] Speaker B: Very kind of. [00:48:42] Speaker C: It's got kind of a Saturday morning cartoon vibe, but it's got a very angry violator looking fleabiac guy. I'm assuming it's the violator with the clown makeup. [00:48:54] Speaker A: He's like a clown. He's got, like, the makeup going. [00:48:56] Speaker C: Yeah. And he's got his mouth open like he's the cave of wonders in Aladdin. And then we got shot from behind. [00:49:04] Speaker B: Javi on a horse with his coat. [00:49:08] Speaker C: Just back in the wind. [00:49:11] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:49:11] Speaker C: This fleabiek has just asked who has disturbed his slumber. [00:49:14] Speaker B: And Javi is like. It is I. Javi, I have the. [00:49:19] Speaker A: A cover, which is the first of the Simon Bianchi, Simone Bianchi. [00:49:28] Speaker B: I don't know. It's either Simon or Simone. Yeah, you can just say bianchi bianchi. [00:49:35] Speaker A: The bianchi cover or bianchi bianchi. [00:49:37] Speaker B: That's how you say it. [00:49:39] Speaker A: God, I gotta start looking up these names before we do the episodes. [00:49:41] Speaker B: I'm such an idiot. Yeah. [00:49:43] Speaker A: But, yeah, this is the first of the four for February. This is the first one to come out, I believe. And it's got Javi on a real. [00:49:50] Speaker B: Mean looking horse shooting. [00:49:54] Speaker A: But I love, my favorite detail is the background where Javi's just, like, gazing into space like the opening credits on an anime. [00:50:02] Speaker B: Yeah, it's just like Javi is the. [00:50:05] Speaker A: Gunslinger, and he will sling the guns forever. And he's, like, looking into the stars. [00:50:11] Speaker C: Oh, man, I love it. I never thought that this string of words would come out of my mouth. [00:50:15] Speaker B: In this order, Johnny. [00:50:17] Speaker C: But we need to have a spawn anime. It needs to happen. [00:50:23] Speaker A: I mean, you could argue that the HBO series is in the style of anime. Well, it's anime adjacent. It's not actually an anime. Yeah, but no, that kind of stilted movement. [00:50:34] Speaker C: We need full bore. I'm talking, like, pokemon level anime where all of the fight scenes take place on a static image of something, so that way they don't have to animate all of the fights. [00:50:51] Speaker B: Right. [00:50:53] Speaker C: When spawn tries to do a whole bunch of punches, it's just a little circle in a cloud of circles that. [00:51:01] Speaker A: It has a badass theme song where they look at the sky, the stars. [00:51:05] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:51:06] Speaker C: Because one of the good things about anime, Johnny, is they always have to. [00:51:10] Speaker B: Fill up time because they were making. [00:51:14] Speaker C: 400 seasons with 712 episodes a season, so they had to fill time with something. So there's lots of food in anime too. [00:51:23] Speaker B: There is. [00:51:24] Speaker A: There's lots of food, man. [00:51:25] Speaker C: There's lots of food in Glenslinger, and it's good. Could you just imagine, like, an anime clown just sitting down going. [00:51:33] Speaker B: Just eating. [00:51:34] Speaker A: Yeah, that dinner scene would be perfect for anime. There's, like, bones flying over his shoulder. He puts, like, a full chicken in his mouth, and it comes out just a skeleton. [00:51:46] Speaker C: He gives it the old heathcliff. [00:51:48] Speaker A: Yeah, the heathcliff of the fish. [00:51:51] Speaker C: He just slides over to Javi and. [00:51:53] Speaker B: It goes, boink, boink. And he goes, you gonna finish that? [00:51:59] Speaker A: One thing I like they started doing this issue is they're putting the colors and lettering on the COVID which is nice. [00:52:04] Speaker C: Yeah, it's pretty awesome. [00:52:05] Speaker B: Pretty awesome. And on that, you've got Adelso Corona. [00:52:11] Speaker A: And Ivan Nunes, even though I just skipped our two main boys, McFarland. [00:52:16] Speaker B: Booth. [00:52:17] Speaker A: So you, David, have some Booth news because you were privy to the discord discussion with the Todd father? I didn't get to. [00:52:24] Speaker C: Yes. [00:52:26] Speaker A: You found out something about Brett Booth, didn't you? [00:52:28] Speaker C: I found out something about Brett Booth. So as far as I know, Bret. [00:52:34] Speaker B: Booth was only set to do two. [00:52:38] Speaker C: Years on the book, so 24 might be Brett Booth's last. [00:52:44] Speaker B: Wow. [00:52:45] Speaker C: So that's end of an era, if. [00:52:47] Speaker A: That'S true, exciting and sad at the same time. [00:52:52] Speaker C: But one of the characters that he helped co create with in this world with the Todd father, our favorite dinosaur wielding, villainous Dakota, is supposed to be back for Gunslinger spawn number 20. [00:53:05] Speaker B: So we get that. [00:53:08] Speaker C: Hell yeah. [00:53:10] Speaker A: Keep bringing her back, baby. That just makes my first appearance that much more valuable. [00:53:15] Speaker C: And if those are the last four issues of Bret Booth's current run on Gunslinger, then what a way to go. It'll be just a drag out knockout. [00:53:26] Speaker B: I hope he gets to end a. [00:53:28] Speaker A: Fight in that dinosaur base. I hope that's how his arc ends. Or he's got to get to that dinosaur base before bread Booth's done. [00:53:36] Speaker C: My hope is that they end the actual story in episode issue 23. And then issue 24 is just Taylor playing his dinosaur video game, and it's the story of the dinosaur video game. So it's just nothing but dinosaur. [00:53:54] Speaker A: It's like now Taylor plays a video game. They need a game we can play as a dinosaur. [00:54:02] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:54:05] Speaker A: There were some in the 90s. There's like primal rage. The lost world game, you could play as a dinosaur. The Jurassic Park Sega game, you could play as a raptor. [00:54:12] Speaker C: There's rampage, but that's more of a Godzilla. [00:54:15] Speaker A: There's rampage, Godzilla. [00:54:18] Speaker C: Reptar is basically what that is. Isn't there a game where you can play. [00:54:24] Speaker A: Reptar's revenge? [00:54:25] Speaker B: Oh, okay. [00:54:26] Speaker C: Yeah, you just said that. [00:54:27] Speaker B: Damn it. No, they should make like, there's a. [00:54:33] Speaker A: Game that came out recently where you could play as a shark and you scroll and fuck shit up as a shark. [00:54:37] Speaker C: That's awesome. [00:54:38] Speaker A: You should do that. But with a dinosaur, you're just like a dinosaur in an open world and you go fuck shit up. [00:54:43] Speaker C: They should rerelease Turok dinosaur hunter, where you're the dinosaur and you are hunting Turok. [00:54:49] Speaker B: So it's. [00:54:51] Speaker A: That's just a really short game. You eat him and it's over. [00:54:55] Speaker C: So it could be Turok dinosaur hunter hunter. [00:55:00] Speaker A: Turok dinosaur Hunter Hunter. [00:55:02] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:55:03] Speaker A: Easy. Let's pitch it to a claim. [00:55:05] Speaker B: Let's go. Turok. [00:55:08] Speaker A: He was a valiant character, wasn't he? [00:55:10] Speaker C: Yes, he was, because he was a gold key character. And then in the early ninety s, the valiant company bought all of the gold key characters like Magnus, robot Fighter. [00:55:25] Speaker B: Turok. [00:55:28] Speaker C: There's another one that I can't remember. But then those were the licenses and stories that they built their company on. And then after that, started slinging out their own things. [00:55:41] Speaker B: So now they had like, Exo Manowar. [00:55:45] Speaker C: Was their first internally produced, which I've mentioned before is like Thor in an Iron man suit. And then Archer and Armstrong, which is an immortal Fat guy and. [00:55:58] Speaker B: A little. [00:55:59] Speaker C: Tiny brainwashed monk type kid who go around destroying all of the world's secret societies. [00:56:12] Speaker B: Oh, really? Yeah. [00:56:14] Speaker C: It's great. If you ever find any archer in Armstrong, read it. [00:56:18] Speaker A: One of my favorite things about Turok was there's the video game Turok two seeds of evil. There was a weapon called the cerebral boar, and you shot a missile, and it was like the phantasm thing where it latched to the person's head, drilled in the middle of their skull, and then exploded. [00:56:35] Speaker B: Oh, man. Oh, man. [00:56:37] Speaker A: It was like the coolest weapon until the laptop gun on perfect Dark came out. [00:56:41] Speaker B: Oh, man, that's awesome. [00:56:43] Speaker A: And I think there's actually a death metal band that named themselves cerebral boar. [00:56:46] Speaker B: I'm imagining after the weapon probably most. [00:56:51] Speaker A: To bring it all back to metal. [00:56:54] Speaker C: Most people in metal bands are just huge fucking nerds. [00:56:59] Speaker A: Right? [00:57:00] Speaker B: So it makes sense to continue on. [00:57:05] Speaker A: We got. We already went over everyone except for Tom Orjakowski. Pardon us for lettering. [00:57:11] Speaker C: Yes, thank you very much. [00:57:13] Speaker A: And then, of course, Tod father. That doubled the TNT. TNT. Todd and Thomas coming in, making sure everything's all good. [00:57:20] Speaker B: They're dynamite. [00:57:22] Speaker A: They are dynamite together. Previously in Gunslinger. Gunslinger runs into a new player on the scene. Literally. Focus. Is he friend or foe? Now you notice I tried to say that as a statement. Yeah. [00:57:39] Speaker C: Not a question. I don't know why they didn't put a question mark. Because King spawn literally had two question marks in its previously on maybe they. [00:57:47] Speaker A: Only have a certain amount of question marks they could use. [00:57:50] Speaker C: We used all our question marks up this book. [00:57:54] Speaker A: No more question marks. [00:57:56] Speaker C: Sean Lewis started asking why too many. [00:57:59] Speaker B: Times, and he used them all up. [00:58:01] Speaker C: It didn't save any for I like the typos. [00:58:03] Speaker A: Just because it drives Reddit crazy. Yeah, you heard me. I like the typos. [00:58:07] Speaker B: I think they're fun. [00:58:10] Speaker A: It's imperfections. It shows you that human beings made it. Imperfections are some of the most beautiful things in art. [00:58:16] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:58:16] Speaker C: And if you're going to get tied up on the tiny little typos, then the wackadooness that is in here is not for you. [00:58:25] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:58:26] Speaker A: Go read one of the big two number two, go read DC and Marvel. They got five editors on each thing, making sure everything's perfect for you. So go read that shit. [00:58:35] Speaker C: But, I mean, love, fucking love DC and Marvel, but nowhere near as fun as this. You take the bad with your fun if you're going to take your fun. [00:58:47] Speaker A: What'S cool about Spawn as opposed to Marvel? It's like everything matters in Marvel with its own bubble, but Spawn's like, there's just one bubble. Yeah, it's been the same bubble. [00:58:56] Speaker C: It's the same bubble. [00:58:57] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:58:58] Speaker C: And all of the consequences stick, basically. [00:59:02] Speaker B: Except for people being upset. [00:59:03] Speaker A: Exactly. [00:59:04] Speaker B: Wanda might come back, but get over it. [00:59:09] Speaker A: That's the only one, really, that's not a big deal. [00:59:12] Speaker B: Yeah. Plus, like, duh, it was eight years. [00:59:16] Speaker A: Ago at this point. She died March 2015. March 11, 2015, is when that issue came out. That's a pretty long time to keep someone dead in comics, actually. [00:59:25] Speaker C: It's not like Marvel where they kill Tony Stark in February, and then by the end of February, Tony Stark is back because they put out 400 issues in February where Tony Stark was dead, and they're like, okay, now, that's fine. Tony Stark is back. [00:59:39] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:59:40] Speaker A: Take that, Marvel. [00:59:41] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:59:42] Speaker A: I actually just subscribed to a new Marvel series. [00:59:44] Speaker C: Oh, what's that? [00:59:45] Speaker A: I said I was trying to cut my subscriptions, but I had to subscribe to Planet of the Apes, baby. [00:59:49] Speaker B: Oh, man. It was really good. [00:59:52] Speaker A: The first issue was awesome. [00:59:53] Speaker B: Nice. [00:59:54] Speaker A: And it's in the continuity of the new movies, so that's cool. [00:59:57] Speaker B: Nice. [00:59:58] Speaker C: Excellent. [00:59:59] Speaker B: I like those a lot. That's good, man. [01:00:02] Speaker A: Yeah, the art was great, but it just came out last month, so there'll be a new one. [01:00:06] Speaker B: Oh, shit. [01:00:07] Speaker A: Speaking of that, I got to get the challengers today. I haven't subscribed to Superman. I got to get number three. [01:00:13] Speaker C: Oh, man. Yeah, you got to go get that. [01:00:15] Speaker B: Before it gets sold out. It's a good one. [01:00:17] Speaker A: I was going to get at the comic shop in Tulsa. [01:00:19] Speaker C: Yeah, I read it, but they only. [01:00:20] Speaker A: Had the variant covers that are a dollar more. I was like, no, I'm not going to buy it. [01:00:26] Speaker C: I read it immediately after reading Gunslinger 19 on the way home on Wednesday this week. [01:00:32] Speaker B: And it's good. It's real good that it's a fun book. Superman having to work with Lex Luthor. [01:00:42] Speaker C: Because Lex Luthor's villains are after Superman now. And it's like, you can't think like Superman to defeat these guys. Superman. And we all know that it's going to turn into Lex Luthor. Having had an ulterior motive because he can find a way to get Superman at the end. [01:01:01] Speaker B: We know that's going to happen, of course, but the way that it's like. [01:01:06] Speaker C: Superman literally does have to actually start trusting Lex is just amazing. It's so fun. [01:01:13] Speaker B: There's great villains, the artist, just the. [01:01:17] Speaker A: Concept that he is talking to him. [01:01:19] Speaker B: That's really cool. Yeah, it's fun. [01:01:25] Speaker C: There was a really cool suit that I totally can see them making an action figure of in, like, three months. You'll see when you get there. It's good. [01:01:38] Speaker B: It's a good one. [01:01:39] Speaker A: Okay. [01:01:39] Speaker B: I'm excited to check it out. [01:01:41] Speaker A: So in Gunslinger, if we're checking that out. Yeah, it ends pretty much exactly where the last one left off, where the TNT has exploded. Or if you want to believe the pundit, he had a chili fart. Maybe both at the same. [01:01:57] Speaker C: You. You fart on the TNT, and that's what made it explode. And it was a synergistic effect where it was more than additive. [01:02:09] Speaker B: So without the chili fart, it wouldn't have been as bad. [01:02:11] Speaker A: I love that you just get all the debris flying from the explosion, and then at the very bottom of the page, thunk, thunk, the knife just lands the ground. [01:02:19] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:02:19] Speaker C: But I do like how a couple of panels earlier, you could see just like, the knife flying through the air because it got blown out. [01:02:27] Speaker B: Right. [01:02:28] Speaker A: You got the knife, you got some feathers. [01:02:30] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:02:30] Speaker C: You got the feathers all floating down. What are they doing? [01:02:33] Speaker A: Bret Boothman, he's always got that cacophony of stuff in the background flying around just to keep everything so energetic. [01:02:40] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:02:40] Speaker C: And then, like, all the little bitty, tiny pebbles just, like, pinging around. [01:02:44] Speaker A: You can almost hear it. [01:02:49] Speaker B: Sounds like. [01:02:49] Speaker A: A big, evil rainstick rain stick. [01:02:53] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. I remember going to. [01:02:55] Speaker B: What was it? [01:02:56] Speaker C: What was the store in the mall? [01:02:59] Speaker B: Natural wonder truck. [01:03:00] Speaker C: Was it natural wonders? [01:03:01] Speaker A: Natural wonders, that was it. Natural wonders. [01:03:04] Speaker C: The bin of shiny rocks at the front. I always ended up getting some rocks every time we went. [01:03:11] Speaker A: I remember buying those shiny. [01:03:12] Speaker C: I bought my first yomega fireball at that. [01:03:15] Speaker B: Natural wonders. [01:03:18] Speaker C: Yeah, the yoyo yomega. [01:03:22] Speaker A: Oh, that was like, the popular yoyo brand. [01:03:25] Speaker C: Yeah, because in fourth grade, if you didn't have a yoyo, you were a putts. [01:03:30] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:03:30] Speaker A: That's so funny. A yoyo. Yeah. They were big in my school, too. [01:03:36] Speaker C: The fireball, it had, like, a plastic bushing around the axis, so it was easier to let it stall at the end, whereas, like, your regular duncan, the. [01:03:48] Speaker B: String was directly on the axle inside the yoyo. [01:03:53] Speaker C: And so it was harder to get it to just stay down at the. [01:03:56] Speaker B: Bottom of your throw. [01:03:58] Speaker C: So that was the. [01:03:59] Speaker A: That makes me want to yoyo. You're making me want to yoyo. [01:04:01] Speaker C: Right. Every time anybody talks about yoyoing, I'm like. I get, like, my hand just starts going. I miss it. I miss the slap of the thing coming back. [01:04:12] Speaker B: Oh, man. It was like the original fidget spitter. [01:04:16] Speaker C: Yeah, I mean, I used to have, like, three yoyos that I just always had in my bag at all times. It just always had a yoyo. [01:04:22] Speaker B: What the. [01:04:23] Speaker A: Do you have to fight a bully with them? And you double wheeled some yoyos? [01:04:27] Speaker C: Oh, no, that never happened. [01:04:30] Speaker B: That'd be very anime. [01:04:31] Speaker A: That was your weapon. You had, like, two yoyos you could just hit people with. [01:04:34] Speaker B: What? [01:04:34] Speaker C: Yeah, I had some friends that probably would have been able to pull that off, but no, if I had tried, it would have just ended with me still beat up with no yoyos. [01:04:47] Speaker A: I think I had one just because I had to. But I was never good at it. [01:04:50] Speaker B: Oh, no. [01:04:51] Speaker C: I was never good at it. [01:04:52] Speaker B: But I enjoyed playing with them. [01:04:55] Speaker C: I didn't have to be able to do any tricks at all. [01:04:58] Speaker B: I would just yoyo and yoyo for hours. [01:05:01] Speaker C: Yoyo while I would walk. I'd yoyoed while I was watching tv. I'd yoyo while I was on the friggin trampoline. [01:05:07] Speaker A: Oh, wow. [01:05:08] Speaker B: Yeah, I think I hit myself in. [01:05:10] Speaker C: The face once doing that. [01:05:14] Speaker A: Well, Javi's getting tired of being yoyoed back and forth between all these people, and he's like, how are the hell are these people getting me tracking me down so effortlessly? [01:05:22] Speaker B: Yeah, he's pissed. [01:05:24] Speaker C: He's coming out of the fog, and he's just like, oh, what is just. It's like, I just got hit in the face with a yo yo by David's friends. Oh, man, there's just so many words to get caught up on to get through this. But basically, Javi's trying to figure out where everything's coming from, and he notices that all of the angels are down from the tnt except for one of them. [01:05:46] Speaker B: And then at the bottom of this. [01:05:47] Speaker C: Page, there's a little. See last issue from Thomas, and it refers to the desperate measures that Javi took. But my dumbass thought that I saw an asterisk on the. God told us you were the crazy. [01:06:03] Speaker B: Was. [01:06:03] Speaker C: I was like, did I miss God telling the angels that he was crazy? [01:06:09] Speaker A: There's this little scene where God's like, that guy's crazy. [01:06:15] Speaker C: I was like, I didn't read that issue. What the hell? And then I realized that it was. [01:06:19] Speaker B: Referring to the spawn. Oh, man. [01:06:22] Speaker C: So good. I like how fucking beat up his hat is. It's like the cartoon tramp who's wearing the top hat that has the lid of it is open like a can of beans, and it's just flopping around. [01:06:39] Speaker A: I forgot about that trope. [01:06:41] Speaker B: That's so funny. [01:06:44] Speaker C: That's what hobby's hat is doing up at the top there. It's just, like, flapping around. [01:06:49] Speaker A: I know, but it's like, bent over. It's sad. [01:06:51] Speaker C: Yeah, but this big angel comes at him and just whomps him and sacks. [01:06:56] Speaker B: Him and kicks him around. [01:06:59] Speaker A: Then Javi does an old car hard tell God he can go to hell. [01:07:05] Speaker C: Then Javi knows he can't. [01:07:07] Speaker A: Javi doesn't know that God's a woman because spawn always calls God she. [01:07:11] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:07:14] Speaker C: So Javi tries to hit the angel with everything he has, and the bay himth barely feels it. [01:07:24] Speaker A: There it is. [01:07:26] Speaker C: That's not his name, but that is what he is. He's the juggernaut. He's literally the juggle knot as a. I think you might have done that better than I did, behemoth. But he's literally the juggernaut with wings. [01:07:47] Speaker B: And it's great. [01:07:48] Speaker C: He's so big, and he's just slapping him around. And then he slaps Harvey so hard that he gets thrown into a hallucination of Amy. [01:08:01] Speaker A: He slaps it right into a flashback. Hallucination. [01:08:04] Speaker C: Here we learn that not only is Amy his sister, but she's his older sister. See, here I thought. I thought Amy was his younger sister. [01:08:13] Speaker B: But see, I also thought maybe it could be. [01:08:16] Speaker A: I only think this because it was a joke in Scott Pilgrim because his little sister calls him her little brother. [01:08:22] Speaker B: Because he's a dumb ass. Yeah. [01:08:25] Speaker A: So maybe she is his little sister and she calls him little brother because he's a dumb ass. [01:08:28] Speaker C: Well, I just always assume so. [01:08:30] Speaker B: That way I could go cry, little sister. What? [01:08:35] Speaker C: Lost boys. [01:08:37] Speaker A: Oh, right. [01:08:40] Speaker C: The theme. [01:08:41] Speaker A: No, you cut out when you were. The problem is when you sing, David, it's so high pitched, the discord cuts it out. [01:08:47] Speaker C: Oh, well, it's on the tape. [01:08:49] Speaker A: Cannot keep up on the tape. Okay, it's on the tape. Exactly. I just can't hear it. [01:08:52] Speaker C: Speaking of lost Boys, did I ever tell you that Tim Seeley, the guy who lives in town, fucking loves lost Boys? And DC let him do a lost. [01:09:02] Speaker B: Boys miniseries a couple years ago, and. [01:09:07] Speaker C: The conceit of this miniseries is that greased up saxophone man from the party. [01:09:14] Speaker B: On the pier is himself a vampire hunter, and the baby oil that he. [01:09:20] Speaker C: Rubs all over his body is holy baby oil. So that way, if vampires try to catch a hold of him, they, a, can't hold onto him because he's all greased up with baby oil, and b, they get burned because it's holy baby oil. [01:09:35] Speaker B: That's funny. [01:09:35] Speaker A: That's like, an idea he had as a kid and just kept in his back pocket. [01:09:38] Speaker C: It was a great miniseries. It was so good. [01:09:43] Speaker B: It was so good. [01:09:44] Speaker A: Loving local man. Loving local man. [01:09:46] Speaker C: Local man is very good. But, yeah, if you guys can find that Tim Seeley lost boys miniseries, it is a hoot. It is better than Lost Boys two. The sequel they made after one of the. After one of the what's his faces died, the Coreys. [01:10:05] Speaker B: After one of the Coreys died, they. [01:10:07] Speaker A: Made a lost boys, too. [01:10:09] Speaker C: Yeah. Oh, man. It was when Corey Feldman was real bad and was right after the other Corey died. So literally, they just tied in real life Corey's death and real life Corey. [01:10:21] Speaker B: Feldman's alcoholism and just made that sort of his. [01:10:27] Speaker C: So because I do believe the other frog brother and then the other Corey. [01:10:32] Speaker B: Were dead in canon, and then that's. [01:10:35] Speaker C: Why Corey Feldman, frog brother, was just. [01:10:38] Speaker B: Like, out of sorts. It was interesting. [01:10:42] Speaker C: It was a redemption tale for the frog brothers, the remaining frog brother, but it wasn't very great. [01:10:47] Speaker A: I didn't even know they made that. [01:10:49] Speaker C: Well, yeah, I rented it from Hastings and Stillwater. [01:10:53] Speaker B: Hell, yeah. [01:10:55] Speaker C: But, yeah. So in this flashback hallucination, Javi's trying to apologize. [01:11:04] Speaker B: I get the feeling that she doesn't. [01:11:08] Speaker C: Blame Javi for what happened, but Javi blames himself. [01:11:11] Speaker B: Oh, absolutely. [01:11:12] Speaker A: She seems at peace. And mom always said he was wrapped tighter than her drum. [01:11:17] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:11:18] Speaker B: He just needs to relax. [01:11:20] Speaker C: And then immediately after she disappears, fucking juggernaut angel comes back for him. [01:11:26] Speaker B: Where's Macarver? [01:11:28] Speaker A: I love how he just goes. I blew him up. [01:11:32] Speaker C: I love the angel's teeth here because it's like one curvy tooth on top and one curvy tooth on bottom. I love a single curvy tooth. It's so fun. [01:11:46] Speaker A: He's just launching himself. Hobby barely jumps out of the way. Like, full jump. [01:11:51] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:11:52] Speaker C: And then after he jumps, the other angels attack him. And I love how just visceral this little panel of blood spray is. It literally looks like he took a velvet sheet and put some spray paint and some goop on it because it's so different from the rest of the art. And I, like, we don't even see. [01:12:12] Speaker A: What they do to him. We just see that he's just, like, destroyed. [01:12:15] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:12:15] Speaker C: I love the idea that Bret Booth, the master of all the small details, has decided that these angels beat Javi up so badly that he just can't even include all of the details of. [01:12:27] Speaker B: The beating in this comic book. [01:12:29] Speaker C: Has to cut away for a second. That's how bad this beating is. [01:12:32] Speaker A: And he shows it. He looks pretty. [01:12:34] Speaker C: Oh, man. [01:12:35] Speaker B: Bad. Yeah, he's got his, like, rotten skin sticking out. [01:12:39] Speaker A: He's got half his face mask ripped off. [01:12:41] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:12:42] Speaker A: And here comes the big Wiley Coyote roadrunner moment. Old juggernauts, like, yeah, here we go. We're going to pulverize his skull. [01:12:48] Speaker B: Yeah. 30 tons of force. [01:12:51] Speaker C: This is a conversation that keeps coming up in this little run of gunslingers. The only way you can kill a spawn is this way, and they always fail. [01:13:01] Speaker A: They're like, here's what you got to do. [01:13:04] Speaker C: You got to pulverize their skull. And then. Yeah. Specifically, 30 times of force. A good callback to the Todd father, like you said. [01:13:12] Speaker B: I guess that's the Todd father calling himself back. Well, this guy's like, I thought I. [01:13:20] Speaker A: Was told you knew all his weaknesses, that there wasn't any. [01:13:22] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:13:24] Speaker A: And then they get stuck in a tornado of blue. [01:13:27] Speaker C: Yeah, blue tornado. [01:13:29] Speaker B: That sounds like a nice drink. A blue tornado. [01:13:31] Speaker A: Ooh, a blue tornado. Very refreshing. [01:13:34] Speaker B: Yeah. Dude, that's the one thing about Oklahoma, man. [01:13:37] Speaker A: Texmex places frozen. I got, like, a 20 ounce frozen margarita for, like, 750. [01:13:42] Speaker C: Jesus Christ. [01:13:44] Speaker A: I was like, yes. [01:13:46] Speaker C: They bring it out like, they make a whole blender full, and they just bring the blender pitcher out, and that's what you drink it out of. [01:13:52] Speaker A: It was huge. It, like, freezer burned my tongue. [01:13:55] Speaker C: Oh, man. [01:13:55] Speaker A: I drank it too fast. [01:13:56] Speaker B: Oh, man. [01:13:57] Speaker C: Did you have yourself a chimichanga while. [01:13:58] Speaker B: You were down there? [01:13:59] Speaker A: No, I had cheese enchiladas, actually. [01:14:02] Speaker C: Cheese enchiladas are great. [01:14:03] Speaker A: I went to abuelos, and I got off the plane in Oklahoma City. I was going there for a friend's wedding. Got off the plane, and it was like, I want Tex Mex and a margarita immediately. I dropped my bags off of the hotel because none of my friends were in town yet for the wedding. [01:14:16] Speaker B: I got there a little earlier, so. [01:14:18] Speaker A: I walked around the block, and I found a place of buelos. Had a lunch, mexican buffet. [01:14:22] Speaker C: Oh, man. [01:14:23] Speaker A: That had everything you could possibly want to order. So I not only had cheese enchiladas. I had churros, I had queso. I had the rice and beans, like, the classic refi beans and the spicy rice. It was amazing. [01:14:36] Speaker B: Texmex. [01:14:37] Speaker A: I know it's not authentic. It is what it is, but, man, it hits the spot. You can't get it for a long time. [01:14:43] Speaker C: Yeah, that's true. A lot of people, if you didn't grow up with Tex Mex, it seems. [01:14:48] Speaker B: Like people are just, ugh, what's the point? [01:14:50] Speaker A: Wanda's like, what is with all this fucking cheese? What's the deal? [01:14:55] Speaker C: That's good. You get your salsa con. Your chili con queso, which is literally just chili with a whole bunch of cheese poured in it, and they serve it at a mexican restaurant. Wait, what a. [01:15:05] Speaker B: What's not to love? Yeah. [01:15:08] Speaker C: What's not to love? [01:15:09] Speaker B: It's so good. But, yeah. [01:15:12] Speaker C: Haven't grown up on it. You just jones for it every once in a while. [01:15:17] Speaker B: No, you really do. [01:15:18] Speaker A: Yeah. I did not get to go to Taco bueno. I do like taco bueno. [01:15:22] Speaker B: Oh, man. [01:15:23] Speaker C: Mexi dips and chips. [01:15:24] Speaker A: I did get Coney's, though. [01:15:26] Speaker C: Oh, hell, yeah, I got Coney's. [01:15:27] Speaker A: You ever had cones? [01:15:28] Speaker C: Yeah, I sure have. [01:15:30] Speaker B: My parents honeymoon dinner. [01:15:34] Speaker C: A big honeymoon dinner they had was getting Tulsa. [01:15:37] Speaker B: Coney's. They got them at Coney. [01:15:40] Speaker C: They got them at Coney island. Not Coney Islander. [01:15:43] Speaker B: Coney island. Yes. [01:15:45] Speaker A: Coney island was the one. [01:15:47] Speaker C: And so we would go there a lot when we were kids because you could get cheap ass hot dogs in baklava. [01:15:54] Speaker B: It's the first place they ever had baklava. Yeah. [01:15:58] Speaker A: Do you know that's the story of those is those kind of cones. There's a greek family on Coney island that made those. And one of the sons moved to Detroit. One of them moved to. And, like, that's why there's those style cones are in Detroit. And that's why those style cones are in Tulsa. [01:16:11] Speaker B: Awesome. They're very good. [01:16:13] Speaker A: And it's like a greek influenced chili. It has, like, a cinnamon aspect. [01:16:16] Speaker C: Yeah. Like, skyline chili is a greek chili. [01:16:20] Speaker A: Okay. So similar to that. [01:16:22] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:16:22] Speaker A: And it's almost like a sauce. [01:16:24] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:16:27] Speaker A: Speaking of sauce, focus is bringing the hurt sauce. [01:16:30] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. [01:16:30] Speaker A: Because what he does in a brilliant move is rip off their wings, baby. [01:16:35] Speaker C: Well, he doesn't rip them off. [01:16:36] Speaker B: He cuts them off. [01:16:38] Speaker A: He cuts them off that bowie knife. [01:16:40] Speaker B: Last issue, if you recall, Javy whispered. [01:16:44] Speaker A: Something to him and gave him a knife. [01:16:45] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:16:46] Speaker C: And what Javy whispered to him is. [01:16:48] Speaker B: What Johnny read at the top cut. [01:16:50] Speaker A: Their wings was the only words he needed to speak. [01:16:54] Speaker C: But this speedster called focus did more than cut wings. [01:17:00] Speaker A: He also took the car for miles away, so he's really tired. I love the takes. You could see that. Totally. He does that, takes a breath, and then just drops one set of wings, drops the other set of wings, and just collapses. [01:17:13] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:17:14] Speaker C: And didn't Javi just discover that he was human last issue? [01:17:21] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:17:22] Speaker C: And I like this constant rediscovery of people being humans by Javi. He's like, wait, you're a human? [01:17:28] Speaker B: I told you, man. [01:17:30] Speaker A: Topfather's fixated on this human thing, because even in Batman spawn, he's like, you're just a human. You're just a, like, the top father's, like, really obsessed with this idea of. [01:17:38] Speaker B: These humans being so weak, which is just. [01:17:41] Speaker A: You got stuck on. [01:17:42] Speaker B: It's funny. Yeah, it's fine. [01:17:45] Speaker A: You get a scary hobby eye. You get a real scary crypt keeper. [01:17:49] Speaker C: Javi, he's going to tell some bad jokes. [01:17:52] Speaker A: Yeah. He's going to go, looks like they won't be flying anytime soon. That's not even good. [01:18:00] Speaker C: That's real bad. [01:18:01] Speaker B: That's real bad. [01:18:02] Speaker A: Da da da da da. [01:18:08] Speaker B: Oh, man. [01:18:09] Speaker C: And so, yeah, focus is there, trying to catch his breath, and he's now an easy target. [01:18:14] Speaker B: So the angel throws a spear at. [01:18:19] Speaker C: Him, just, like, chucks it, and Javi deflects it with his. Just, like, his little bitty bracelet. Not even his big gauntlet of spikes. [01:18:27] Speaker A: Just, like, a little bitty fucking wonder woman's. That shit. [01:18:29] Speaker B: Yeah, it's tink just right into a rock. [01:18:34] Speaker C: Yeah. And then Javi's, like, yelling at focus to just leave. He's like, get out of here. [01:18:41] Speaker B: I said run. [01:18:42] Speaker A: Get the hell out of here. [01:18:44] Speaker B: What the fuck are you? [01:18:50] Speaker A: Basically. [01:18:51] Speaker B: But the angels pick him up. Yeah. [01:18:54] Speaker C: Javi's like, why don't you make like a tree and get out of here? [01:18:57] Speaker A: I love the shooting because he's just, like, going up and down with his guns, going like, blah, blah, blah, blah. [01:19:01] Speaker B: Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. [01:19:03] Speaker C: Just all over the place. And he's hitting right on the angel, and the angel is just like. He's walking through a field of gnats, and he's just like. [01:19:14] Speaker A: What is this crap? [01:19:15] Speaker B: Stop it. [01:19:16] Speaker C: And then, like, against the ropes. [01:19:20] Speaker B: And he's finally just, like, yelling and yelling at focus. [01:19:24] Speaker C: And focus is like. [01:19:26] Speaker B: And then he goes. He goes, fine, find. [01:19:29] Speaker A: You're right, you're right, you're right. I'm sure we'll be seeing him again. And now Javi can just unleash without having to worry about protecting focus because he's just a puny human. [01:19:39] Speaker B: Yeah. And his adrenaline kicks in, and then. [01:19:42] Speaker C: We get this awesome. [01:19:43] Speaker B: Just like, he's charging with his knives. [01:19:46] Speaker C: Out and his coat is flapping behind. [01:19:48] Speaker B: Him, and he's Naruto running. [01:19:52] Speaker C: Yeah, he is. [01:19:53] Speaker A: He's Naruto running right into Area 51. Do you remember that? [01:19:58] Speaker C: Yeah, I remember that. [01:19:59] Speaker A: I didn't like the Facebook event where it was like, let's all meet at Area 51, and Naruto run in. They can't stop us all. And then there were, like, official name of the group. [01:20:08] Speaker C: There were official government documents, like, having to define what a Naruto run is for that, so that way they could get security. [01:20:19] Speaker B: That's so funny. [01:20:23] Speaker A: It tickles. [01:20:26] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:20:26] Speaker A: Anytime something weird like that the government has to define. It's just like. [01:20:29] Speaker B: That's hilarious. Oh, man. [01:20:32] Speaker A: It's true. They couldn't stop us all. [01:20:34] Speaker B: Yeah, they did stop a couple of guys. [01:20:36] Speaker A: If everyone went, they did. A couple of guys tried. Then we got, oh, man, the good old days. [01:20:44] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:20:45] Speaker C: And we got a nice little montage of Javi just fucking shit up with his knife. He's just chucking on the back, but. [01:20:53] Speaker A: Can'T really damage him that much. He's just like, oh, David, I got one staple. [01:21:00] Speaker B: No. Oh, no, it's about to go. [01:21:02] Speaker A: It's about to go. Oh, man, my staple page is hanging. I'm not going to rip it out, though. [01:21:07] Speaker C: I'm going to leave it Javi holding on like a rodeo writer strapped to a wired bull. So what the Todd father is saying here is it's the wide in the knuckles, the gold in the buckles that he'll win in the next go round. [01:21:22] Speaker A: It's so funny because me and my friends one time were trying to remember the lyrics to that, and I was like, is it boots and spurs and cowboy turds? Yeah, it's boots and spurs. It's cowboy turds. And, well, you know, you know, spur or the laddigo. Also, when I was a kid, I thought he was saying laddie goat. [01:21:43] Speaker C: It's the Bronx and the blood, the. [01:21:45] Speaker B: Steers and the mud. [01:21:47] Speaker C: And they call the thing a rodeo. [01:21:48] Speaker B: Johnny Scarf Brooks. [01:21:50] Speaker A: He's not on. [01:21:51] Speaker B: Like, you can't stream. [01:21:53] Speaker A: I don't hear it that often. [01:21:54] Speaker C: Yeah, no, you got to specifically seek. [01:21:55] Speaker B: It out the right way, the classic. [01:21:58] Speaker C: Way you got a physical media. [01:22:00] Speaker B: When I was home. Oh, nice. [01:22:01] Speaker A: Yeah. My dad is Sirius XM, and they were playing. [01:22:04] Speaker B: He was listening to the channel red, white and booze. So I heard some two pina coladas. I gotta have one for each hand. That's it. Garth Brooks. [01:22:17] Speaker A: Man, that's my first concert. I saw Garth Brooks at Driller Stadium. [01:22:20] Speaker C: Oh, nice. I think also Oklahoma. My parents saw Garth at Driller Stadium. You might have been there with them. [01:22:26] Speaker A: Probably the exact same show. [01:22:27] Speaker B: Probably. [01:22:27] Speaker C: And you both got to witness the secret verse to the Thunder rolls. [01:22:34] Speaker B: I don't remember. [01:22:35] Speaker A: I was very young. But, yes, it was also my first time remembering, like, oh, drunk people are crazy. It was either then or another time at Jeweler Stadium. But definitely it was a jeweler stadium. The first time I was aware of drunk people. [01:22:46] Speaker B: Oh, man. [01:22:47] Speaker C: Well, yeah, because for those who don't know that Tulsa drillers are a minor. [01:22:52] Speaker B: League baseball team, the benefit of going. [01:22:54] Speaker C: To a minor league baseball team is a baseball game. Is that the cheap booze and food? I mean, the baseball might not be. [01:23:02] Speaker B: The best quality, but who, for a. [01:23:06] Speaker C: Fraction of the price of a big league ball club. [01:23:11] Speaker B: You can shove your. [01:23:12] Speaker C: Face full of 12,000 calories and drink more than a friggin water buffalo, be. [01:23:19] Speaker A: As drunk as we were on baseball day for half the price. [01:23:21] Speaker B: Oh, man. [01:23:22] Speaker C: Significantly less than half the price. [01:23:25] Speaker A: The only problem is, if you're in Tulsa, you can't randomly wander into. [01:23:30] Speaker C: Folks like we did. You got to drive in Tulsa. [01:23:34] Speaker A: I guess they have uber now. [01:23:36] Speaker C: You could wander over to the fairgrounds, but not anymore. [01:23:41] Speaker A: Not anymore. It's downtown. [01:23:42] Speaker C: Yeah, it's downtown, but you used to be able to wander over to the fairgrounds and just, like, hang out with the golden driller and just be like, how's it going, dude? For those of you who have never been to Tulsa, there's a golden driller. He's like a 40 foot tall statue of an oil driller. [01:24:00] Speaker B: He's a big fucking deal. [01:24:05] Speaker C: My sister went as the golden driller for Halloween a few years ago, and it was the best costume. It was amazing. [01:24:13] Speaker A: I remember they were trying to court Elon Musk. They put his face on the golden. [01:24:17] Speaker B: Boo because they're trying to get him. [01:24:19] Speaker A: To build a Tesla factory there. [01:24:22] Speaker C: And then. Actually, you used to be able to. [01:24:24] Speaker B: Also then take your drunk ass even. [01:24:27] Speaker C: A little further west to Bell's amusement park. Referenced. Yes, referenced in a Stephen King book. It was revival, revival, revival. [01:24:39] Speaker A: Okay. [01:24:39] Speaker B: Bells. [01:24:40] Speaker A: Amusement parks in there. Well, people died at bells. [01:24:43] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:24:45] Speaker A: Wildcat killed, like, multiple people. [01:24:46] Speaker C: Yeah, that was the week after I. [01:24:48] Speaker B: Wrote it for the first time. Oh, my God. Yeah. [01:24:53] Speaker A: That's some final destination shit. [01:24:55] Speaker C: Yeah, it was crazy. That was my first ever roller coaster, and I loved it so much. I wrote it, like, six times in. [01:25:00] Speaker B: A row because everybody in with fate. [01:25:04] Speaker C: Everybody wanted to ride the Zingo because. [01:25:06] Speaker B: The Zingo had the bigger drops. [01:25:11] Speaker A: The wildcat was scary, though. You felt like you were going to die. [01:25:14] Speaker C: The wildcat was. Unfortunately, it was, like, smashed together like a cube, so it just curled in on itself. So it wasn't real big and drop. [01:25:25] Speaker B: Heavy, but, yeah, it was crazy. [01:25:28] Speaker A: Almost as crazy as these zany pundits we got here. Yeah, well, we're skipping over something real quick, actually. I just get so excited for the pundits. [01:25:36] Speaker C: Yeah, we got distracted. [01:25:37] Speaker A: He knocks out behemoth. [01:25:38] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:25:39] Speaker A: And he decides, well, not the behemoth. A behemoth. [01:25:41] Speaker C: A behemoth, yeah. [01:25:43] Speaker A: And then he's like, cut off the wings. [01:25:45] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:25:46] Speaker C: He's like, I'm low power. And he's trying to pull a sin. He's trying to maybe suck some life force from some other beings to help him feel better. And he just smashes them into his. [01:25:59] Speaker A: Shoulders, these wings, and they necromesh with flesh. [01:26:04] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:26:04] Speaker C: It's something he's never tried before. And my understanding is that Javi hasn't really been gunslinger for very long. [01:26:12] Speaker B: Like, he became gunslinger and very shortly. [01:26:15] Speaker C: After got sucked into the future. So him never having tried it before doesn't impress me much. As they say. That don't impress me much. [01:26:27] Speaker B: Sorry, man. [01:26:28] Speaker A: We're having a hoe down today. No, it's okay. We're singing all these country songs. It's perfect for gunslinger. [01:26:32] Speaker C: My technician loves country music. And if it's your day to choose what's on the Spotify in the lab, then nobody else gets to say a goddamn thing. And so we listen to a lot of country music. [01:26:45] Speaker A: That song would be perfect for him flying, though, if he flew around to that song. That don't impress me much. [01:26:53] Speaker C: I remember way more country lyrics than. [01:26:55] Speaker B: I ever remember remembering. Oh, yeah. [01:26:59] Speaker A: Especially when we get back to Oklahoma and, like, I hear more country music, I'm like, I know this song. I know this song. Any 90s country I know by heart. [01:27:05] Speaker B: Just because it's the horniest genre currently. Oh, yeah. Oh, now. [01:27:12] Speaker C: Yeah. Period. Like, old country is horny. [01:27:16] Speaker B: New country is horny. We got the three pundits, Bret Booth style. Yeah, man. [01:27:22] Speaker C: Bret Booth style. Pundits are great. [01:27:24] Speaker A: You got the crn. [01:27:26] Speaker B: And she's just talking about how the. [01:27:28] Speaker A: Explosion in South Dakota and talking about all these earthquakes, which were when the dead zones stuff was going on. [01:27:35] Speaker C: And then the info buz guys, we. [01:27:37] Speaker A: Get a little topical. Yeah, we had, like, a topical one. [01:27:39] Speaker B: For info buz illegally annexed in the first place. [01:27:44] Speaker A: Of course, Todfather would tie it in and be like. And Psalms and the Exodus foundation and all these people, they're behind. [01:27:55] Speaker B: Hey, Todfather's been at this long enough. [01:27:59] Speaker C: He knows how to stitch in real life into continuity. [01:28:04] Speaker B: No, he really does. [01:28:05] Speaker A: And I heard someone, like, criticizing that. It always feels like a lame attempt to be edgy. [01:28:09] Speaker B: And I'm like, man, shut the fuck up, man. [01:28:12] Speaker C: Well, so let's analyze that. Spawn is edgy as fuck. Look at him. Look at him. [01:28:17] Speaker A: Yeah, spawn is edgy. That's the whole point. It's supposed to edge. [01:28:20] Speaker C: Lord, the fact that the tod father is always so excited about. He broke this record, or this is the first time you're seeing this in a comic book. He wants to see new things. He doesn't want to retread over. He wants to take risks, put something new out there. And hope that you enjoy it as. [01:28:41] Speaker B: Much as he enjoyed coming up with it. And that's fine. It's wonderful, and it's great. [01:28:47] Speaker C: And if you have a problem with. [01:28:48] Speaker B: That, just don't read it. [01:28:49] Speaker A: I like what he ties it into, the real life event. Like the unwanted violence. [01:28:59] Speaker C: It keeps the story on its toes a little bit. Because we honestly don't know where the world is going on a daily basis. Every morning it's like, okay, what kind. [01:29:07] Speaker B: Of sense is there? And then in this story, where if. [01:29:12] Speaker C: You write one thing for long enough. [01:29:14] Speaker B: You kind of can get bogged down in it. [01:29:17] Speaker C: As far as coming up with new things. And then if the world throws something at you, it could be like, oh, hell, yeah, that's a great thing. [01:29:26] Speaker B: It not only helps the story, but. [01:29:29] Speaker C: It can be a way to process it. Like, the world is bullshit, and I can't do anything about it. But I can at least try to think of how the world could be better. [01:29:40] Speaker A: I like it when he does that. I like how it's so instant too. Because that's one of the beauties of comics, is he's writing it month to month. And I know they're, like, ahead. It's close enough that he can put stuff in there. Like the alt right kids in king spawn number two. That Sean Lewis put in there. Like the alt right psalms one, three, seven kids, and then this. And unwanted violence. He can bring in those things that are. And it just brings it an air of, like, it just brings it into our world and gives it a little more know. Speaking of weight, here comes the third pundit. [01:30:12] Speaker C: Oh, man, I love Bret Booth's Brock the shock, because, as I said last, like, you can see every single one of those molars back there and his little tongue flapping around. [01:30:24] Speaker A: On the patriot tv. [01:30:27] Speaker C: Speaking of Final Fantasy, if this were a 90s super Nintendo game and Brock the shock showed up, his little animation would just be. His face stays the same, but, like, his jaw moves up and down a little bit. [01:30:43] Speaker B: He'd be like. [01:30:48] Speaker A: Halfway through this, he turns into, like, a preacher man. Like, dramatic effect. [01:30:53] Speaker B: Oh, man. [01:30:56] Speaker C: It is quite a dramatic effect because while he's in preacher man mode, we turn into this two page spread. [01:31:03] Speaker A: And I remember seeing this, and I went like, holy shit. I think I texted you immediately. [01:31:08] Speaker B: Yeah. And here we have Javi with angel wings, just crouching on a mountain. And it is bad ass. There's no other way. [01:31:21] Speaker A: It is badass as fuck. [01:31:22] Speaker C: Oh, man. [01:31:23] Speaker A: Full two page spread. [01:31:24] Speaker B: I want this as a poster. [01:31:26] Speaker C: This would be an amazing poster if this weren't so sort of spoilery. I imagine they could have used this as an advertisement poster. But there's no way that you send out a poster of Javu with wings on before the issue comes out and have people be like, yeah, that's not going to happen. [01:31:49] Speaker B: No, we got a hellspawn with wings. [01:31:52] Speaker A: It's what the scrolls foretold. [01:31:54] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:31:55] Speaker B: And it's wrath. [01:31:57] Speaker C: God's wrath, delivered in a way we've never seen before. [01:32:01] Speaker B: Have we ever seen this before, Johnny? No. [01:32:04] Speaker A: A hellspawn with wings? I don't think so. [01:32:06] Speaker B: No. [01:32:08] Speaker A: Was there a feathered Al Simmons at one point, or there was Al Simmons with wings at one point, wasn't there? [01:32:13] Speaker C: Oh, there was Angel Al Simmons. [01:32:15] Speaker B: Yeah, Angel Al Simmons. [01:32:16] Speaker A: We haven't got to that part somewhere. [01:32:18] Speaker B: Before 300, but we'll cover that in ten years from now. [01:32:22] Speaker C: Yeah, I think that's around the time he kills God. [01:32:26] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:32:26] Speaker A: So look forward to that. In the year 2033. [01:32:30] Speaker B: In the year 2000. And then hobby, they said we're all. [01:32:37] Speaker A: Going to attack at once. And Javi just says, like, fuck this. [01:32:43] Speaker C: He takes wing, as they say. [01:32:45] Speaker A: And then perhaps bigger deal than the winged hobby, we have this little vignette at the end, a little coda, one might say, where Taylor's dropping a deuce. [01:32:58] Speaker C: Elsewhere, Taylor is enjoying a raucous app game on his cell phone while he drops a deuce. [01:33:05] Speaker A: First of all, app game. Hilarious. [01:33:07] Speaker C: So, Tod foster, I like it. [01:33:09] Speaker B: It's a raucous app games. [01:33:12] Speaker A: This is Tod McFarland. We got a new spawn app game coming out. [01:33:15] Speaker B: You can play a spawn. [01:33:18] Speaker A: My favorite thing is dinosaur app. [01:33:20] Speaker C: My favorite thing is that the image is Taylor on the toilet. And then yet parenthetically, while he drops the deuce is unnecessary, as if it was part of the original script. But then Todfather was, no, no, just keep the script as it is. We don't need to change anything. Just throw it in there. [01:33:39] Speaker A: Just keep it in there. [01:33:42] Speaker C: Just double it. Repeat. [01:33:43] Speaker B: Keep it in, double it. [01:33:46] Speaker A: He makes a non athletic move. [01:33:48] Speaker B: That's hilarious. [01:33:49] Speaker C: Yeah. The one piece of tech comes, so a piece of gear starts to go off. He ignores it at first, then realizes it's the one piece of tech gunslinger seemed interested in. And then he makes the non athletic move. And the image is, yes, Taylor with his pants around his ankles, falling across the bathroom. [01:34:11] Speaker A: Having not wiped or anything. So that's got to be a bad fall. [01:34:15] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:34:15] Speaker C: No, there's only one person I will ever answer the phone for while I'm on the toilet, because I know that if I don't answer, they'll just keep. [01:34:23] Speaker B: Calling until I have to somehow send a message between attempts. Say, hey, I'm pooping. Is that Jessica Priest? No, it's Wanda. [01:34:36] Speaker C: Jessica Priest would call from an unknown number, and ain't no way I'm answering an unknown number on the toilet. [01:34:42] Speaker A: And she asks where Gunslinger is, and he says, I don't know. He's out kicking someone's ass. [01:34:46] Speaker B: I think I will say, yeah. [01:34:51] Speaker A: It's nice looking Jessica. Good looking Jessica. [01:34:53] Speaker C: It's a good looking Jessica. Oh, man. Just what a great ending to a great little book. [01:35:02] Speaker A: This was awesome. This is one of the best gunslingers. This is one of my favorites, the wings. The joke at the end. Just put it over the edge for me. You got the pundits. It's just like a giant, bombastic, crazy Looney tunes fight. [01:35:16] Speaker C: We got the power meter still going up. [01:35:18] Speaker A: It's going up. [01:35:19] Speaker B: Two nine three. [01:35:20] Speaker C: Then in spawning grounds, we got some fan art. If you look at this fan art in this spawning grounds, Johnny, you'll notice. [01:35:31] Speaker B: That it's a little fuzzy. [01:35:33] Speaker A: Little pixelated. [01:35:34] Speaker B: Little pixelated. [01:35:35] Speaker C: I would encourage each and every one of you to actually go to these Instagram accounts and look at the non pixelated images. [01:35:45] Speaker B: They're amazing. Yes, they are. [01:35:48] Speaker A: And there's one I definitely want to highlight, but we'll put a pin in that for later. We'll be coming to that. But no, they're awesome. I love the Mickey Mouse spawn. [01:35:56] Speaker C: That's pretty cool. [01:35:57] Speaker A: Spawn tattoo. I was thinking, man, the other day, I don't have any tattoos. And I was like, what would I get for a tattoo if I got one? And honestly, it would probably be spawn related, because that's, like, the one thing I know will be a part of my life. [01:36:09] Speaker C: You could get, like, a winged hobby on my back. Or I was about to say you could get, like, a clavicle tattoo of the little Skulls with the chain that goes across it. [01:36:22] Speaker A: If I got one, I'd probably get. [01:36:23] Speaker B: The king spawn logo. [01:36:25] Speaker C: Or you could get a chest of the Malbolgia m that goes all the. [01:36:30] Speaker B: Way down to your crotch. Oh, my God. [01:36:32] Speaker A: That would be painful. I just get a tattoo of Malbolga's belly hair, fake tattooed hair. [01:36:43] Speaker C: What you could do is you could get a long jaw. You could get it, like, on the back. So it would be like a sleeve tattoo, a double sleeve tattoo. So on the back of one hand. [01:36:54] Speaker B: You would have the fleabiac head, and. [01:36:57] Speaker C: Then going across your arm, all the way up across your chest, down the other arm, and ending a little bitty, little bitty tooth on the back of the other hand. So it's the longest jaw. [01:37:10] Speaker A: The longest jaw. [01:37:12] Speaker C: So it would be a little bottom jaw in one hand, a face on the other, and then connected by just, like, one line. [01:37:21] Speaker A: So I just hold out my arms like a crocodile and just, like, people shirtless. That'll be good. [01:37:27] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:37:30] Speaker A: From my wanda. She's leaving me. Oh, no, about the tattoo. She heard about the tattoo. She's out of here. [01:37:38] Speaker B: I mean, now you don't even have. [01:37:39] Speaker C: To wear a shirt while you're at home. [01:37:40] Speaker B: You can just let it show all the dang time. [01:37:44] Speaker A: I really don't have to leave this closet. Wow. Nice. Worth it for the tattoo. [01:37:49] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:37:49] Speaker A: Well, that's King Spawn. Oh, God. [01:37:53] Speaker C: That's king gunslinger. [01:37:54] Speaker B: Can you imagine? [01:37:55] Speaker A: King. And that's gunslinger spawn number 17, the. [01:38:01] Speaker B: King of the gunslingers hobby. Speaking of, I think, Johnny, I think. [01:38:06] Speaker C: It'S time to rate these puppies. [01:38:07] Speaker B: It's time to rate these puppies. [01:38:10] Speaker A: First up, we had king spawn number seven. It was the beginning of the second arc in King Spawn. Kind of the intro to the court of priests and the reliving of Wanda's death. [01:38:24] Speaker B: It was an all around excellent issue. [01:38:29] Speaker A: I love the reveal of Black Asriel. I love that opening shot of spawn, like, throwing the chains around. [01:38:36] Speaker B: It's excellent. [01:38:38] Speaker A: So I'm going to give this one five. Get off this thread, which is what the dark queen said in the discord chat. [01:38:46] Speaker C: Oh, man. [01:38:47] Speaker A: Because if you don't like this, I'm going to tell you five times to get out of this thread. [01:38:51] Speaker C: Well, Johnny, I think we're on a similar wavelength, and I'm going to be a little harsher just because I don't want everything to all be fives all the time. Yeah, I had some issues with keeping track of everything while I was reading it. [01:39:09] Speaker B: Probably my own fault, but it gave me a little bit of a head rush trying to figure out what was going on. [01:39:18] Speaker C: I also don't like seeing Wanda die over and over again. [01:39:22] Speaker B: Not good. [01:39:24] Speaker C: I love how ridiculous it is that Terry figures out what eleven is. [01:39:30] Speaker B: Yes, it's maybe gone about it a little in a thin manner, I guess I would say. But I still love it. I still love it. I'm going to give it four believer. [01:39:42] Speaker C: 23 posts because there are four believer 23 posts here. [01:39:48] Speaker A: Hashtag 11th hour. [01:39:49] Speaker B: Hashtag the 11th hour indeed. [01:39:52] Speaker C: That's not to say I didn't like the book. It was very good. [01:39:54] Speaker B: Sorry. [01:39:55] Speaker A: No, five is probably too much for it too. Actually, I'm going to change mine to 4.5. [01:40:00] Speaker B: So there you go. Okay. [01:40:02] Speaker A: Put that in the Wikipedia and smoke it. [01:40:04] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:40:06] Speaker A: Second issue was gunslinger 17. [01:40:09] Speaker B: Yes. [01:40:11] Speaker A: Just an amazing, bombastic fight. I mean, what can you say about it? It's just a hoot. I love this book so much. [01:40:18] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:40:20] Speaker B: I'm going to give it five winged gunslingers. [01:40:25] Speaker C: Five winged gunslingers. [01:40:26] Speaker B: Excellent. Excellent choice. [01:40:29] Speaker C: So I want to say I can find no fault in this issue, Johnny, even though we talked about there being. [01:40:34] Speaker B: Issues with typos and stuff. [01:40:38] Speaker C: The only problem is, any fault that is in this book just makes it that much more fun. [01:40:44] Speaker B: Right. I have to give it five single. [01:40:50] Speaker C: Curvy teeth on the behemoth angel. [01:40:55] Speaker B: Big old tooths. [01:40:55] Speaker A: Like a fucking Easter bunny. [01:40:57] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:40:58] Speaker C: Five little curvy tooths. [01:40:59] Speaker B: So good. And I love that. [01:41:02] Speaker A: This one was great. [01:41:04] Speaker C: Lunging at Javi and, oh, man. [01:41:09] Speaker A: This whole thing since focus showed up has just been so crazy and action and just a lot of fun. And Javi's just over his head and like, in over his head, and it's just. [01:41:17] Speaker B: Yeah, it's been a hoot. It's been a hodown. It's been great. It's been excellent. [01:41:24] Speaker A: Well, you know what else is at a hodown? [01:41:26] Speaker B: What's that? [01:41:27] Speaker A: Usually it's at a barn. And when you think of barns, you got like hay bales or straw, right? [01:41:34] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:41:36] Speaker A: Well, probably about a couple of months ago, I was coming home on the bus after having a few drinks after work. And I saw on Instagram that they had rest. Originally, I didn't buy them because I was like, I'm not going to buy them. I just bought the other spawn stuff. I was like, okay, I'm not going to buy them. [01:41:55] Speaker B: I'm not going to buy them. [01:41:57] Speaker A: And I kept thinking about it, and I saw on Instagram, the official McFarland account said, all the Batman the Dark Knight wave is in stock again at Amazon. And I was like, oh, crap. Because I know that those, if I didn't buy them from Amazon new, they're going to be like 40 or $50 each. [01:42:13] Speaker B: I swear to God. Yeah. [01:42:15] Speaker A: And the thing is, you had to get all four because they build a bane. But a long way of saying, today I've got all four in. But for you, I'm saving them. I'm saving them for you guys. They've been sitting here taunting me. But today I have the DC Multiverse. [01:42:29] Speaker B: Dark Knight trilogy, Scarecrow, that I'm going to open. Nice. [01:42:36] Speaker A: And he comes with, includes Bane's arms. [01:42:39] Speaker B: So nice. [01:42:41] Speaker A: Kind of fun, too. [01:42:42] Speaker B: Did we mention that this was a Todd's toy talk? Oh, yeah, that's right. [01:42:47] Speaker A: It's time for Todd's toy talk. All right. So, yeah, this dark knight, I love the Dark Knight trilogy. I even like Dark Knight rises. It's like a great, like, James Bond type movie. I don't know if it's the best Batman movie of all time, but, yeah, my favorite of the trilogy is actually Batman begins. So I'm super pumped to open this scarecrow. [01:43:20] Speaker C: Nice. [01:43:21] Speaker A: I love Batman begins because it's a little goofier. It's a little more like steampunk. Like Gotham's kind of a little more fictional know. [01:43:27] Speaker C: Yeah. And that's the Killian Murphy. [01:43:30] Speaker A: Killian Murphy, Scarecrow, who does appear in all three movies. In the second one, he arrests him at the beginning, and the third one, he's playing like judge of abandoned. This is the version here is from the climax of Batman begins, where he's riding on a horse as you do. Really nice. Classic DC multiverse package. It's a little bigger than normal because it has to fit Bane's arms in there as well. But you got the really nice package. [01:43:57] Speaker B: But I'm going to bust it open here. [01:44:00] Speaker A: So let me whip out my handy dandy knife. [01:44:03] Speaker B: Whip it. Whip it good. [01:44:05] Speaker A: Whip it out. Whip it good. All right, I'm going to cut the corner here. I'm so excited. [01:44:09] Speaker B: I've had this guy for a bit. [01:44:11] Speaker A: I liked killing Murphy. Scarecrow, he's great. [01:44:13] Speaker C: Yeah, he was good. [01:44:14] Speaker A: I actually watched Batman begins with Wanda and she was cracking up because it. [01:44:18] Speaker B: Was like sand to the face. [01:44:19] Speaker A: Anytime anything happened, he'd be like sand to the face. [01:44:23] Speaker C: So he's basically dale from king of the hill. [01:44:27] Speaker A: Pocket sand. Yeah, exactly. That's what it was. Pocket sand. [01:44:30] Speaker B: That's what she was saying. That's what she was saying. [01:44:32] Speaker A: I messed it up. [01:44:32] Speaker B: She was like pocket. [01:44:34] Speaker A: Anytime he fights, he's like pocket sand. I was cracking up. [01:44:37] Speaker C: You were thinking of Frankie from the goon knife to the eye. [01:44:41] Speaker B: No. [01:44:42] Speaker A: Okay, so we got it open here. [01:44:44] Speaker B: So it's classic DC multiverse, has a. [01:44:47] Speaker A: Stand and it has a trading card there. [01:44:52] Speaker B: I'm going to bust him open here. [01:44:53] Speaker A: I got to cut these little guys. I left my pocket knife, so I'm going to have to use a knife, unfortunately, but that's okay. Cutting the little things that hold him in. All right, I got those cut. Oh, wow. [01:45:09] Speaker B: Oh, cool. He's got a nice feel to him. [01:45:15] Speaker A: He smells so good. [01:45:17] Speaker C: Nice. [01:45:18] Speaker B: He smells like the sleepy holotoys used to smell that. [01:45:22] Speaker A: I had just like, really nice, like stinky plastic. Oh, man. [01:45:25] Speaker B: So he's got a business suit on. [01:45:28] Speaker A: You can see like the business suit on underneath this, but on top he's. [01:45:31] Speaker B: Wearing like a lab coat that's been just completely. No, it's a straight jacket. This has been completely ripped up and it's all nasty. [01:45:41] Speaker A: And the straight jacket is like his sleeves, but he's got a noose around his neck. [01:45:50] Speaker B: And it's the scarecrow that Batman sees. [01:45:55] Speaker A: At one point hallucinates because he's got worms coming out of his face. Because one time when he pocket sands Batman, he looks like he's got, like, worms coming out of his. I love, I love that at the end that Rachel just defeats him by shooting with a taser. He sees like, crane, he's like, no scarecrow. And then she just shoots him. Man, I love that movie. [01:46:18] Speaker B: I love Batman begins. [01:46:20] Speaker C: It's a good one. [01:46:21] Speaker A: So he's got a couple hands. He's got a fist hand and like a gesturing hand. [01:46:27] Speaker B: Or you can switch it out for gun hands. [01:46:31] Speaker A: So you can switch them out for gun hands if you want. Unless those are Bane's hands. Are those hands? [01:46:38] Speaker C: I was going to say the size difference between the two of them should be significant. [01:46:42] Speaker B: No? [01:46:43] Speaker A: Yeah, these are definitely for him. [01:46:44] Speaker B: These are definitely for him. This is just the arms. [01:46:48] Speaker A: So I could use that accessory pack because as we know, DC doesn't let. [01:46:52] Speaker B: You have guns come with them, so whatever. [01:46:58] Speaker A: So luckily, we have the accessory pack. Godfather knows what's up. [01:47:02] Speaker B: No, this is great. [01:47:03] Speaker A: Oh, he's awesome. [01:47:04] Speaker B: This is a great figure. Hell, yeah. His slick shoes on. Yeah, this is great. [01:47:10] Speaker A: I can't wait to open them all. Can't wait to get the Dark knight collection and get that bane so I can do the bane voice. It's going to be so much fun. [01:47:17] Speaker C: Nice. [01:47:17] Speaker A: Oh, and the detail behind the mask, like, his eyes are sunken in. You can see the detail in his eyes under the mask. [01:47:22] Speaker C: That's pretty nice. Yeah. That's one thing I've always liked about the McFarland toys, is you could tell that they sculpt under things that you'll never see. So if you can tell goes up. [01:47:35] Speaker A: And you will never see it, but it goes all the way up under this. You can't see the end of the suit, even though you can't even take this thing off. [01:47:42] Speaker C: Yeah, that's always a nice little detail that shows that they're putting the work in. [01:47:46] Speaker A: So I broke my vow of only buying spawn toys. It's okay. I'm happy with my purchase because I would have really regretted it because I really wanted these figures, and I'm so. [01:47:56] Speaker B: Glad that I got them. [01:47:57] Speaker C: Yeah, well, we are too. And we're glad that you're opening them. [01:48:00] Speaker B: Here for us, Johnny. Yep. [01:48:02] Speaker A: It wasn't really that ASMR, but here, I'll have scareco jump on the microphone a little bit. I'm hitting him against the microphone. [01:48:13] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:48:15] Speaker A: All right. So that concludes Tod's toy talk for the day and almost concludes the episode for the day. Just a couple little bit of housekeeping. [01:48:23] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:48:24] Speaker C: So first off, let's go back. We dropped a pin earlier. [01:48:29] Speaker A: Yes, we dropped a pin. Let's pick up that pin. [01:48:31] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:48:32] Speaker C: Let's see. [01:48:32] Speaker A: So if you go back to Gunslinger 17 with all the great Instagram accounts we decided to highlight, it's at Caleb Nefzin. N-E-F-Z-E-N. Caleb Nefzin. [01:48:50] Speaker C: I was about to say, the cool. [01:48:51] Speaker B: Thing is that this is probably the. [01:48:54] Speaker C: One item on this page that benefits most from that, from seeing the non pixelated image, because the pixelated image just makes it look like it's a 3d rendering. But no, it's an actual little minifigure that he printed out and then painted. [01:49:07] Speaker B: It's like, that's an actual little statue. [01:49:10] Speaker C: It looks so great on his page. So you definitely need to go see this, Caleb. [01:49:14] Speaker B: Caleb's a sculptor. [01:49:17] Speaker A: He's a digital sculptor of statues and collectibles for companies and private commissions. So if he's got commissions open, you could maybe. [01:49:27] Speaker B: Get him to do one. Yeah, dude, that would be so cool. [01:49:32] Speaker A: But he's got so many different characters. They all look amazing. The spawn is definitely a highlight. It's the undead spawn, or the, what do we call them? The nude spawn. [01:49:43] Speaker B: The savage spawn. [01:49:45] Speaker A: I know, but we tried to come up with a. Oh, yeah, we thought that was racist. [01:49:50] Speaker B: Yeah. What was it? [01:49:53] Speaker A: So, yes, it's spawn from 300 301 after the fight in Albania, where he pulls together the railroads and sticks all the railroad ties through his arm to make his gauntlets. And he's got the m and the flag. [01:50:05] Speaker B: It's pretty great. Looks pretty great. [01:50:11] Speaker C: It sure is. [01:50:13] Speaker A: And he has a lot of other characters, too. Not just spawn. Batman, Joker. He's a handsome fellow as well. [01:50:22] Speaker B: Or maybe that's. [01:50:23] Speaker A: Oh, this is a picture of someone else that bought his stuff. [01:50:25] Speaker B: Yeah. Cool. Excellent. [01:50:28] Speaker A: So definitely give him a follow. Give him a like on all that. [01:50:32] Speaker B: Cool spawn stuff he did. [01:50:35] Speaker A: And also check out the other accounts on here. They've all got pretty cool stuff. And definitely, like David said, the images are better on Instagram than they are in the. [01:50:45] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:50:45] Speaker A: While you're over on Instagram, checking out Caleb there, giving him a follow. Make sure to give us a follow. We are at regarding spawnpot.

I'll be posting a picture of the scarecrow and Bane's arms for this issue. So you can see those if you want to look at Bane's cool arms. [01:51:20] Speaker C: Yeah, look at those veiny, venom filled biceps. [01:51:25] Speaker B: Yeah, they're full of venom. And also, if you want to send. [01:51:30] Speaker A: Us an email, you could reach us at regarding [email protected]. [01:51:36] Speaker B: Yes, indeed. [01:51:36] Speaker A: And today, I always like to put out a question, and today it'll be a little off topic, maybe, but I was just wondering, since I was talking about how much I love Batman begins, what is your personal favorite of the. [01:51:47] Speaker B: Dark Knight trilogy and why? [01:51:50] Speaker A: Just curious if you're a dark knighter, which know, kind of the heavy hitter, if you like Batman begins for a little more comic booky, or if you're into the Dark Knight rises for its grand spectacle, because I feel like that one's just a grand spectacle. [01:52:05] Speaker B: Yeah, it is. [01:52:07] Speaker A: So which one's your favorite? Or if you got some of these spawn toys? Not spawn toys. The McFarland toys Dark Knight series. Which one is your favorite of the figures so far? My only favorite figure, scarecrows, is the only one I've opened. But maybe you've opened them all and. [01:52:23] Speaker B: You can let us know which ones you like. [01:52:25] Speaker A: So what are we doing next week? [01:52:27] Speaker B: Oh, man. [01:52:28] Speaker C: Next week. What are we doing next week? [01:52:29] Speaker B: Next week. [01:52:31] Speaker C: Can you believe it, Johnny? [01:52:32] Speaker B: We're going to read two more issues of Spawn. [01:52:35] Speaker A: Two more issues of Spawn or from Spawn's universe? [01:52:38] Speaker C: Well, very tricky. Very tricky. From Spawn's universe, we are going to read our classic next week is going to be gunslinger number seven. [01:52:49] Speaker B: And then. [01:52:51] Speaker A: That's cool. [01:52:52] Speaker B: Yeah, that's going to be a great one. [01:52:53] Speaker C: And then our contemporary one is going to be scorched number 15. [01:52:59] Speaker A: Cool. [01:53:00] Speaker C: Yeah, that sounds awesome. Scorched 15. It'll be a hell of a good time. Every time we get to talk about gunslinger, we're happy. Every time we get to talk about scorched, we're happy. And, Johnny, I think that just leads. [01:53:13] Speaker B: Me to know, may the scorched be with you. And also with you, David. Hell, yeah. Hell, yeah. [01:53:23] Speaker A: I mean, this figure is so detailed. I'm, like, reaching in to his pocket and there's. Oh, God, there was sand in his pocket. Oh, shit. [01:53:32] Speaker B: Fuck. [01:53:33] Speaker A: I'm hallucinating. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Can you see growing wings? [01:53:39] Speaker C: Can you see the toy portal? [01:53:40] Speaker B: Can you fly through it, Johnny? [01:53:42] Speaker A: No, I'm growing wings, and Amy's talking to me. [01:53:45] Speaker C: Oh, my. [01:53:46] Speaker B: Oh, this is so weird. [01:53:48] Speaker A: Oh, God. All right, David, I gotta fly out of here. I'm really freaking out from this pocket. Sand from the scarecrow action figure. [01:53:53] Speaker B: I gotta go. [01:53:55] Speaker A: Here we go. I'm flapping out of here.
