Episode Transcript

[00:00:00] Speaker A: Girl, I don't know who you are. [00:00:01] Speaker B: Or whose side you're on, but I found all of us from hell. We're not created equal. Some of us are a tad stronger than others. And some of us are a lot stronger. [00:00:43] Speaker A: Good evening, and welcome to the malbols. [00:00:46] Speaker B: This is regarding Spawn, the world's best spawn podcast. I am your co host, John Fisher. [00:00:55] Speaker C: And I am your co host, David Williams. [00:00:57] Speaker D: And Johnnelly. [00:00:59] Speaker C: Johnnelly. [00:01:00] Speaker B: Johnny. [00:01:01] Speaker A: Johnnelly. Watch along. [00:01:03] Speaker C: I was trying to say verily there, but I accidentally smushed the two together. So now it's Johnnelly. Well, Johnny, I guess that's all I got for today. Like, subscribe rate. Don't fall in the way to immediately crash down on that promise of best spawn podcast. Right? [00:01:25] Speaker E: Huh? [00:01:26] Speaker A: No, that's fine. I derailed us this time by doing a weird voice. Take that, David. [00:01:32] Speaker C: No, I was just trying to keep up. [00:01:36] Speaker D: This is just me not being as quick as Johnny is. [00:01:39] Speaker F: That's not true. [00:01:40] Speaker E: I'm not that quick. [00:01:42] Speaker A: Not this early in the morning. [00:01:45] Speaker C: We're recording at three in the. [00:01:47] Speaker E: No. [00:01:48] Speaker D: No, we're not. I haven't seen three in the morning. [00:01:50] Speaker C: I don't even remember the last time. [00:01:51] Speaker D: I saw three in the morning, Johnny. [00:01:54] Speaker A: I probably did it not too long. [00:01:56] Speaker F: Ago playing a video game. [00:01:58] Speaker C: That's, like, prime spawn time, too. [00:02:00] Speaker F: That's. [00:02:00] Speaker D: I bet, when all your Albert Simmons are wandering the earth. Could you imagine, Johnny? You pull a tailor, you go to. [00:02:11] Speaker C: The convenience store at two in the morning. [00:02:13] Speaker D: Because you got, quote unquote, the munchies. And you just see a allosaurus spawn figure. [00:02:24] Speaker C: Just, like, roaming through the alleyway. [00:02:28] Speaker D: I'd be terrified. [00:02:30] Speaker C: Like, you pass the opening to Spawn alley. And you just see a whole bunch of unhomed men, like, sitting around a fire. [00:02:37] Speaker D: And there's a dude in a giant. [00:02:40] Speaker C: Red and black costume sitting on a throne of bones. [00:02:48] Speaker D: I cannot tell you how fast I would run away from that if I came across it in the wild. [00:02:55] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:02:55] Speaker A: Like we've said before, spawn is scary. [00:02:58] Speaker D: He's spooky. He's spooky as shit. [00:03:00] Speaker C: And it's almost spooky season. [00:03:01] Speaker D: Johnny, I don't know about you, but I'm excited for spooky season. [00:03:05] Speaker E: Oh, yeah. [00:03:06] Speaker A: It felt like it today. [00:03:06] Speaker B: It was nice and. [00:03:08] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:03:08] Speaker A: Or yesterday, I guess, when I was reading these issues of Spawn. [00:03:12] Speaker B: It was a nice fall day. [00:03:14] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:03:14] Speaker C: It's still summertime. [00:03:15] Speaker D: Technically, it's still August. [00:03:18] Speaker F: Still is. [00:03:19] Speaker A: But it was nice to get that break. [00:03:20] Speaker B: And it's going to be hot again. [00:03:21] Speaker C: Oh, man. That heat was too much earlier this week. [00:03:26] Speaker D: For those who don't know what day we're recording on. There were two days of, like, over 100 degree heat this previous week, which I don't care where you live, over 100 degrees is too many degrees. [00:03:38] Speaker F: Yeah. [00:03:38] Speaker A: And I know some people are probably like, oh, it's over 100 degrees for. [00:03:41] Speaker B: Like, two weeks here. [00:03:42] Speaker A: But this is Chicago, okay? Everything's made of the pavement you're walking around. [00:03:46] Speaker B: And the air conditioners aren't as good. [00:03:48] Speaker A: As they are down south. And there's not as. [00:03:51] Speaker C: Man, at least. At least our air conditioners are better than the general air conditioning in. [00:03:58] Speaker D: Can walk into a. You can walk into a Dwayne Reed in New York, as they call their Walgreens. And you can go to the fridge. [00:04:08] Speaker C: That has all the beverages in it. And you can tell that the fridge is working very hard. [00:04:13] Speaker D: Because there's condensation everywhere. [00:04:15] Speaker C: But that water is room temperature at best. [00:04:18] Speaker B: Oh, my. [00:04:19] Speaker D: Yeah, New York. [00:04:23] Speaker C: Thanks for sweating your balls off. So that way we can have some. [00:04:26] Speaker D: Air conditioning over here. It's much appreciated. [00:04:30] Speaker E: We love it. [00:04:31] Speaker F: Well, welcome, everyone. [00:04:32] Speaker B: Welcome to regarding spawn, where each week, we tuck you in to bed or into your shower. [00:04:43] Speaker C: Or we tuck them chores. [00:04:44] Speaker A: Maybe you're driving. [00:04:45] Speaker C: We tuck them into the shadows, Johnny. [00:04:47] Speaker D: So they can be transported to the world of Spawn. We're setting you up for shadow blasting. [00:04:54] Speaker A: Shadow blasting you right into the universe. [00:04:56] Speaker B: Into the Todd father's brain. Two issues at a time. And this week is no different, because we got two excellent issues from Spawn's universe for you. [00:05:07] Speaker D: Yeah, we do. [00:05:09] Speaker B: First up, we got spawn 313. All the way off from the very. [00:05:15] Speaker A: Far off land of December 2020. I know that because I'm looking at the COVID here. And we got a little Christmas clown on it. [00:05:22] Speaker C: I love this cover, Johnny. [00:05:24] Speaker D: It's a good one. [00:05:25] Speaker B: Yeah, we'll get there, but, yeah, it's great. [00:05:27] Speaker A: And then we also have scorched number 19. With another good cover, actually, that I'm looking at here. [00:05:34] Speaker D: Oh, yeah. [00:05:35] Speaker B: Two great covers. [00:05:36] Speaker F: Both alike. [00:05:38] Speaker B: Indignity, but both very different. [00:05:40] Speaker D: Yes. [00:05:42] Speaker A: Much like the issues themselves. [00:05:44] Speaker C: Both of their children have fallen madly in love with each other. And within 48 hours, will no longer be living. [00:05:52] Speaker F: Yeah. [00:05:55] Speaker B: Great. [00:05:56] Speaker A: Both got monolith in it. [00:05:57] Speaker B: They both got spawn in it. [00:06:03] Speaker C: Who's Montague and who's Capulet? [00:06:06] Speaker D: I guess monolith has to be Montague. [00:06:09] Speaker A: So that way, he 13 is Montague. Because they're a little more wild, I feel like. And this is, as usually a little. [00:06:15] Speaker B: More wild than the top father's flavor. [00:06:19] Speaker A: As you like to call it, that he sprinkles on. [00:06:20] Speaker F: There is always a little more out. [00:06:23] Speaker D: There, I was going to say. [00:06:25] Speaker C: So monolith didn't have to change the monogramming on his handkerchiefs. But you've got a better one or the other. Also, John Leguizamo comes back with his sword that he has. [00:06:36] Speaker B: Oh, yes, John Leguizamo. [00:06:39] Speaker A: He's Tybalt and clown. [00:06:41] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:06:43] Speaker C: Both the same character. You can't tell me. [00:06:45] Speaker A: Movies I watched a lot as a kid. [00:06:46] Speaker B: Were spawn and Romeo plus Juliet. [00:06:49] Speaker D: Man, I remember being too young for that. Romeo plus Juliet. [00:06:56] Speaker C: Because Baz Luhrmann did not make any sense to me. [00:06:59] Speaker D: When that movie came out, I was, oh, okay. My sister watched it all the time. And I was like, what is going on here? [00:07:08] Speaker C: And then I wasn't allowed to watch. [00:07:10] Speaker D: It because it was too violent. [00:07:12] Speaker B: I defy you stars. [00:07:16] Speaker F: Man. [00:07:16] Speaker D: Now I'm just sad because Pete postelweight was fantastic. [00:07:21] Speaker E: He was a good guy. Oh, yeah. [00:07:23] Speaker B: I love this world. [00:07:27] Speaker D: I totally messed up his name, didn't I? [00:07:30] Speaker F: Whatever. [00:07:30] Speaker C: We know. [00:07:31] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:07:33] Speaker C: I was actually just hoping that we were going to stumble into. He was in the lost world. Because we always got to talk about Jurassic park on this list, too. [00:07:42] Speaker F: We do. We do. [00:07:42] Speaker A: We talk about Jurassic Park a lot. No, he's great in that. [00:07:44] Speaker B: As Roland Tembo, the great white hunter. [00:07:47] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:07:49] Speaker C: My favorite line from the lost world. [00:07:51] Speaker D: Is the bald one. [00:07:53] Speaker C: Fire tuck. The pompador. [00:07:56] Speaker D: The pompador. Elvis Presley. [00:08:00] Speaker B: I love it where he goes. [00:08:04] Speaker A: Where he lectures at Peter Ludlow. [00:08:06] Speaker B: And he ends with, like, I've had. [00:08:09] Speaker A: Enough safaris with rich dentists to listen any more idiotic. [00:08:13] Speaker C: Okay, okay. [00:08:17] Speaker A: Another movie I watched a lot as a kid. [00:08:18] Speaker B: I had all three of those. [00:08:20] Speaker A: I didn't own spawn, and I didn't. [00:08:22] Speaker B: Own Romeo and Juliet. But they were on the movie channels all the time. I feel like I watched Spawn, like, once a week. [00:08:28] Speaker D: Yeah, I don't think I saw spawn until high school. [00:08:33] Speaker C: So, like, almost a decade after it. [00:08:35] Speaker D: Came out, I saw it in the theater. [00:08:39] Speaker C: All my friends saw it, but I wasn't allowed to watch it. Actually, the first time I saw it might have been on a Saturday morning. [00:08:45] Speaker D: Or a Saturday afternoon. [00:08:47] Speaker E: Television on what? [00:08:50] Speaker D: Like WB. [00:08:52] Speaker C: That makes sense. It would have been a fox. [00:08:55] Speaker A: Tod McFarland's spawn will return after these messages. [00:09:01] Speaker D: And welcome back to Spawn. [00:09:04] Speaker B: WGM used to show movies, too in the day. [00:09:08] Speaker F: Oh, man. [00:09:09] Speaker A: I don't know. Maybe you didn't in Tulsa. You had WGN. [00:09:11] Speaker B: I don't know if you had WGN over the air. [00:09:15] Speaker C: We did not. [00:09:16] Speaker D: We had WB, but we did not have WGN. [00:09:20] Speaker B: Not over the, um. [00:09:22] Speaker E: Was it over the air? [00:09:24] Speaker C: Well, I only had over the. [00:09:25] Speaker F: So. [00:09:26] Speaker B: So WB was okay. Yeah, WB was well over the paper. [00:09:33] Speaker A: Are these issues of Spawn? So might as well dive right in. [00:09:36] Speaker C: And we will talk about them over the ha. [00:09:39] Speaker A: We are. [00:09:40] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. The words are floating around in the ether. [00:09:47] Speaker F: But yeah. [00:09:48] Speaker B: First up, spawn 313. Like I said, it's from December, and. [00:09:53] Speaker A: We know that because the COVID I. [00:09:54] Speaker B: Have here is the Bjorn Baron's evil. [00:09:57] Speaker A: Clown Santa Claus cover. [00:10:00] Speaker C: That is the COVID that they have. [00:10:02] Speaker D: Put at this issue. [00:10:03] Speaker C: Break in the trade paperback I'm reading. [00:10:05] Speaker D: Johnny, and it's nice. It's wonderful. [00:10:09] Speaker A: It's hilarious. [00:10:10] Speaker B: It's the clown. [00:10:11] Speaker A: He's got, like, a Santa sack full of dead bodies. [00:10:15] Speaker C: I like that. The white cotton ball on his Santa hat is a little bitty clown skull. [00:10:22] Speaker A: Yeah, that's pretty awesome. I just noticed that too. [00:10:25] Speaker C: Also, he's barefoot. [00:10:26] Speaker D: What the hell? Is he a hobit now? [00:10:29] Speaker B: He's a barefoot hobbit. [00:10:30] Speaker A: He's got like a foot sticking out. [00:10:32] Speaker B: The back of his sack and, like. [00:10:34] Speaker A: Presents are leaking out. [00:10:35] Speaker C: Yeah, there's a brain and a hand, and there's like a skull chewing its way through the bottom. [00:10:42] Speaker A: Very krampusy. [00:10:44] Speaker B: Did you ever see Krampus? [00:10:47] Speaker D: I'm trying to remember. There was one year where. [00:10:51] Speaker C: So I used to do, for October, I would watch a spooky movie a day. [00:10:55] Speaker F: And I used to be able to. [00:10:56] Speaker C: Do it every year for, like, four. [00:10:57] Speaker D: Years straight until I got old and time didn't make sense to me anymore. But there was one year where I. [00:11:06] Speaker C: Realized that I could also do that for Christmas times. And so I just mainlined, like, 20. [00:11:13] Speaker D: Christmas themed horror movies on Netflix in a row. I think Krampus might have been in there, but I don't remember because they. [00:11:21] Speaker C: All just kind of swirl together. [00:11:23] Speaker D: To me, it's just a haze of nordic and northern european fairy tales smushed into horror movies. [00:11:37] Speaker C: Like rare imports. Rare imports is probably the one I. [00:11:40] Speaker D: Remember the best, where they find a big old Santa Claus and he's just. [00:11:45] Speaker C: A big old demon, and his little. [00:11:49] Speaker D: Elves are just possessed people, and they. [00:11:52] Speaker C: End up killing the big Santa Claus. And so the tiny elves are just, like, rudderless. And so they sell them to malls in America as Santa Claus. [00:12:05] Speaker F: Whoa. [00:12:07] Speaker A: That sounds pretty wild. [00:12:09] Speaker C: Spoilers for rare exports. But if you haven't seen rare exports, it's wonderful. It's got that classic 80s horror thing. [00:12:18] Speaker D: Where it's all this terrible stuff happening. [00:12:21] Speaker C: But you are right there with a child who is in the middle of all of it and the child somehow survives everything. [00:12:28] Speaker D: So it's kind of a little chucky esque, only instead of adult Santa Claus. [00:12:37] Speaker A: Well, Krampus is good. [00:12:42] Speaker B: I like Krampus. [00:12:43] Speaker F: It's Michael. [00:12:44] Speaker B: It's the guy who did trick or treat. [00:12:46] Speaker C: Oh, okay. I think I have. [00:12:48] Speaker A: There's a lot of Krampus movies, but this is like the one that was like released in the theater. It's like aa. [00:12:53] Speaker B: Okay, Michael Scott's or whatever that guy's name is. [00:12:56] Speaker A: Not Michael Scott. That's the guy from the fucking office. [00:13:00] Speaker C: Also an alderman on the southwest side of Chicago. [00:13:03] Speaker B: The guy from Parks and Rec who dates. [00:13:08] Speaker D: Oh, oh, his name's been in the show. [00:13:11] Speaker B: Adam Scott. [00:13:12] Speaker D: That's his name. Because I know that Adam Scott's been. [00:13:15] Speaker C: In a couple horror films. [00:13:19] Speaker E: Because there's. [00:13:20] Speaker A: Like some shitty Krampus. There's like a Krampus with like, there's like a million Krampus movies. [00:13:24] Speaker B: Yeah, this is the one that's just called Krampus. [00:13:29] Speaker C: I'm going to have to pop it on and get back to you about. [00:13:32] Speaker D: Whether I have seen it or not. [00:13:35] Speaker F: Anyway, it's good. [00:13:36] Speaker D: Okay. [00:13:37] Speaker B: It has good creature effects. [00:13:39] Speaker F: Nice. [00:13:40] Speaker B: If you like Trickortreat, you'll probably like it. [00:13:42] Speaker C: Trick or treat is probably my favorite. [00:13:44] Speaker D: Horror movie of all time. Wow. I fucking loved it when I watched it the first time, and I am upon. [00:13:55] Speaker C: It's one of the few movies that. [00:13:56] Speaker D: I've watched again, and I loved it the second time I watched it, and the third. And I don't like how it doesn't. [00:14:04] Speaker C: Get as much love. It feels like it didn't get the. [00:14:09] Speaker D: Response it deserves, I guess, because it's. [00:14:13] Speaker C: Pseudo an anthology film. And anthology films don't really get a. [00:14:17] Speaker D: Lot of love as what they are, but it was like a consistent narrative. [00:14:24] Speaker C: Across three separate independent stories, which is right. [00:14:26] Speaker A: And that's what I like about it. [00:14:27] Speaker B: Because the anthology films can kind of. [00:14:29] Speaker A: Frustrate me sometimes because you get, like, you actually said this on the podcast. [00:14:34] Speaker B: But you end at the worst possible. [00:14:37] Speaker A: Moment usually, especially horror anthologies. [00:14:41] Speaker B: It always ends at like, got you. [00:14:43] Speaker A: It's just like almost exhausting or just. [00:14:46] Speaker B: Too much with this one since it's. [00:14:47] Speaker A: Like a continued narrative. [00:14:49] Speaker B: You get those got you moments, but it keeps going. Yeah, it's almost like pulp fiction for trick for Halloween. [00:14:58] Speaker D: Yeah, it's like creep show, but with. [00:15:01] Speaker C: Like half of the stories, all the. [00:15:05] Speaker D: Fluff is taken out. [00:15:07] Speaker E: Trick or treat's great. It's great. [00:15:10] Speaker B: It'd be a good trick or treat. A clown Santa would be a great Halloween costume. [00:15:16] Speaker D: Oh, man. [00:15:17] Speaker B: That was the clown. [00:15:19] Speaker D: Yeah, true. [00:15:20] Speaker B: Remember that little kid that went as the clown? [00:15:24] Speaker A: He was in one of the back issues in a spawning grounds. There's a family. [00:15:30] Speaker C: He had the bald cap and the big fake belly. [00:15:33] Speaker A: Yeah. Pretty awesome. [00:15:37] Speaker C: Wonderful. He was the kid having the most fun out of that entire family. [00:15:41] Speaker D: Oh, yeah. [00:15:42] Speaker B: Adrian the clown. So, like, a lot of spawn issues, most spawn issues, there are multiple covers here. I'm pulling up cover price. And if you're read this digitally. Or read it in the trade paperback, you're interested in getting it, you can. [00:16:02] Speaker A: Get the a cover for, like, $5. [00:16:04] Speaker B: So this is a pretty affordable comic book. [00:16:07] Speaker A: Those pandemic ones where they're getting up to, like, twenty s and thirty s. [00:16:10] Speaker D: Are pretty much over. [00:16:12] Speaker A: Everything now is pretty much, like, just. [00:16:14] Speaker B: A few bucks more than retail price. [00:16:16] Speaker A: Unless it's, like a special cover. [00:16:18] Speaker F: So. [00:16:20] Speaker B: That'S kind of nice to know that from, like, 310 on, they're pretty easy to get. You've got four covers. The B cover is Tod McFarland's monolith. [00:16:34] Speaker A: He's, like, holding up spawn. [00:16:37] Speaker B: He's got it, like, tied up. [00:16:40] Speaker A: That's pretty great. [00:16:41] Speaker D: That's a great cover. [00:16:44] Speaker B: And it's just intro to monolith. I'm assuming this is a monolith intro. [00:16:53] Speaker C: I honestly don't know. I thought that when we saw him in the scorched for the first time. [00:16:58] Speaker D: That was the first time we saw him. [00:17:00] Speaker C: But now we're seeing him in main. [00:17:02] Speaker D: Title years before that. Does cover price say anything about key issue? [00:17:11] Speaker A: It doesn't say it's a key issue. So that's what I was wondering. So probably not. [00:17:15] Speaker C: I wonder if the next one's a. [00:17:16] Speaker D: Key issue, then I guess if the next one's the key issue, then that means no. [00:17:22] Speaker C: I don't know. [00:17:22] Speaker D: I still don't understand. [00:17:24] Speaker A: It would usually say, like, key issue cameo. So I think unless, or they maybe thought monolith wasn't going to be that. [00:17:29] Speaker B: Important and didn't mark it. [00:17:32] Speaker D: Are they fucking blind? Look at him. [00:17:34] Speaker B: Yeah, I know. Like I said, I have the a cover. [00:17:37] Speaker A: But how are you reading it, David? [00:17:39] Speaker C: I'm reading it in the trade paperback. Like I said, a is in there. [00:17:45] Speaker D: At the issue break. [00:17:46] Speaker F: Oh, you did say that. [00:17:48] Speaker C: Okay, but I need you to go. [00:17:50] Speaker D: A little further in the covers here. [00:17:54] Speaker C: Because I might have some additional information. [00:17:57] Speaker D: To share with you. [00:17:58] Speaker A: I might have some additional information to share with you. [00:18:02] Speaker D: How dare. [00:18:05] Speaker A: Um, so the other covers are. [00:18:07] Speaker B: The B cover is a Greg capullo plague spawn. [00:18:11] Speaker D: Yes. [00:18:11] Speaker C: And this is where the additional information comes in, Johnny. That is the COVID that they use. [00:18:17] Speaker D: On the very front of the trade paperback. [00:18:20] Speaker F: Wow. [00:18:21] Speaker C: So it's just that plague spawn coming at you. [00:18:24] Speaker A: Well, it's funny because in the next. [00:18:26] Speaker B: Issue, in the spawning grounds of 314, they interview grant Capoulo about that cover. [00:18:33] Speaker D: Oh, nice. [00:18:35] Speaker B: So we'll be coming back and talking about it shortly. Well, shortly for us in a week for you, because there's a spawning grounds about him. [00:18:46] Speaker A: Basically just says that is the intro. [00:18:48] Speaker B: Of plague is that cover. He hasn't been in anything and they just call him plague, but we know him as plague spawn. [00:18:57] Speaker F: Yeah. [00:18:58] Speaker A: And then the fourth cover is a. [00:19:00] Speaker B: Black and white version, or naked, as. [00:19:03] Speaker A: We say on the show. [00:19:05] Speaker B: A black and white naked cover. [00:19:10] Speaker A: Of. [00:19:10] Speaker B: The plague by Greg Capullo. [00:19:17] Speaker A: Oh, no. Those are the four covers. Yeah. You want to naked cover a clown? [00:19:21] Speaker B: That's what you're going to get. [00:19:23] Speaker D: Oh, yeah. [00:19:25] Speaker C: Show me those rippling abs. [00:19:29] Speaker A: I mean, he is barefoot here. [00:19:31] Speaker C: Yeah, he's going to have an only spawns just for clown feet picks. [00:19:37] Speaker A: Only spawns. [00:19:38] Speaker B: Oh, my God. [00:19:39] Speaker C: I'm surprised that. [00:19:41] Speaker D: So I'm surprised Bjorn Baron didn't make. [00:19:44] Speaker C: His toes much more fucked up than. [00:19:46] Speaker B: They are, because, yeah, I'd imagine he'd. [00:19:50] Speaker A: Have, like, really long, gross, yellow, fucking thick ass toenails look like cheese. [00:19:56] Speaker C: Yeah. And maybe like one of the toes is chopped off halfway down or something. [00:20:02] Speaker D: Bjorn Barrons has been magnanimous towards this clown, is what I'm saying. Also, Bjorn Barons is doing some. [00:20:09] Speaker C: Not only is he now doing Marvel covers, but he's also doing some DC. [00:20:13] Speaker D: Covers, too, so hell, yeah. [00:20:15] Speaker F: Way to go. [00:20:15] Speaker C: Bjorn Barron. [00:20:17] Speaker D: He's all over the place. We love him. [00:20:19] Speaker A: So that's the covers there. [00:20:20] Speaker B: We pop it open and it says up at the top, world record breaking comic. [00:20:24] Speaker D: He's still feeling sassy, that Tod father. [00:20:27] Speaker B: Because every issue is a world record breaker. And the script plot is by Tod McFarlane. Art, this is our main man. [00:20:37] Speaker A: Settle into his groove. [00:20:38] Speaker B: Carlo Barberry, Tom or Jakowski, of course, on lettering. [00:20:43] Speaker F: Hell, yeah. [00:20:43] Speaker C: And he does a great job. [00:20:45] Speaker A: Yeah, this one's fun. [00:20:47] Speaker B: And J. David Ramos on colors. [00:20:50] Speaker D: Colors are also popping. [00:20:53] Speaker F: Oh, yeah, definitely. [00:20:54] Speaker B: Especially like the. [00:20:56] Speaker E: I love. [00:20:58] Speaker F: I don't know. [00:20:58] Speaker A: This is a good issue. [00:20:59] Speaker B: Yeah, I like all both parts of it. We see some epic meetings. Yeah, you could say absolutely. [00:21:09] Speaker A: The creative director is Tod McFarlane, and. [00:21:11] Speaker B: Editor is Thomas Healy. [00:21:14] Speaker D: Hell, yeah. [00:21:16] Speaker B: So previously in Spawn. [00:21:19] Speaker A: Spawn needs help, and the only hero who can be of Use is another spawn. In this case, that is Jim Downing, the man who once wore the same symbiote costume as Al Simmons himself. [00:21:31] Speaker B: That's what happened is Al went and tried to recruit. [00:21:36] Speaker C: Interesting. [00:21:39] Speaker D: That's really all? [00:21:42] Speaker B: That's it? [00:21:46] Speaker D: No mention of Mark putting that fucking medieval helmet on? [00:21:50] Speaker B: No mention at all. [00:21:53] Speaker C: I would have called that more momentous than Al and Jim Downing just being caddy toward each other in an abandoned mobster restaurant. [00:22:01] Speaker A: In an abandoned restaurant? [00:22:03] Speaker F: Yeah. [00:22:03] Speaker A: I don't know. [00:22:03] Speaker B: That's interesting. [00:22:09] Speaker C: I also thought it was going to go on much longer because it had the flavor of the toddfather getting as much in there as he could. [00:22:16] Speaker B: No, that was it. And it's just he saw the tradition of sometimes the previous leon's are just you. [00:22:25] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:22:26] Speaker C: Like, we used to think that all. [00:22:28] Speaker D: Of the previous Leon ends weren't not very good. [00:22:34] Speaker C: We've discovered since that they do tend to align more often than not. [00:22:38] Speaker B: But sometimes I remember there were some. [00:22:40] Speaker A: That were just, like, out of. [00:22:41] Speaker B: That did not match up. [00:22:45] Speaker C: Yeah, I guess that happened. You didn't explain it in the issue. [00:22:51] Speaker D: But I guess now we know. [00:22:53] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. [00:22:54] Speaker A: There was one where it was like, the curse. [00:22:57] Speaker B: It was it. [00:23:00] Speaker A: That's what it was. [00:23:00] Speaker F: It was. [00:23:01] Speaker B: We revealed who the mysterious k is. [00:23:05] Speaker D: The curse. [00:23:06] Speaker A: We're like, oh, it is what? [00:23:09] Speaker D: Okay, I get it. [00:23:10] Speaker B: I remember that. That makes, hey. [00:23:12] Speaker A: It was early days of, like, adding three titles. [00:23:14] Speaker B: You're getting all used to it. [00:23:16] Speaker C: Oh, I was just saying this guy over here keeps bringing me his fucking. [00:23:20] Speaker D: Seahorse to throw for him. [00:23:21] Speaker F: So there's probably going to be a. [00:23:23] Speaker D: Lot of rustling noise because. [00:23:25] Speaker B: Who is it, dig dang dog. [00:23:27] Speaker D: It's Kuzco. But he says, I like seahorses and seahorse things. Seahorses forever. So he's got a little stuffed seahorse that he keeps bringing to me. And it's either throw it or let him chew on my hands. And one of those is better. [00:23:49] Speaker C: I'll let you decide which is better. [00:23:51] Speaker B: My cat likes to chew on my hand. [00:23:54] Speaker C: You're going to be one of those people that everybody will automatically know you're. [00:23:57] Speaker D: A cat owner or a cat liver with her because you don't really own cats. [00:24:04] Speaker C: They're unownable. [00:24:06] Speaker F: Yeah. [00:24:06] Speaker B: They're like, I'll live with you, but. [00:24:08] Speaker C: Everything is at their. [00:24:10] Speaker D: Their behest, basically. [00:24:14] Speaker E: Oh, yeah. [00:24:17] Speaker C: You were saying we open up on. [00:24:18] Speaker D: This lovely pastoral landscape, this farmhouse. [00:24:26] Speaker C: Speaking of the colors popping, I do. [00:24:28] Speaker D: Like the palette shift of colors between. [00:24:32] Speaker C: Each sort of stage. [00:24:34] Speaker A: Yeah, that's what I was trying to articulate when I said I like this issue a lot. [00:24:38] Speaker B: I liked how it had different stages. [00:24:40] Speaker A: And the colors of Omega island versus. [00:24:42] Speaker B: The colors of here. [00:24:44] Speaker F: Really. [00:24:45] Speaker D: I think we talked about that either. [00:24:49] Speaker C: One of the last two times that we came to the farmhouse here. And it's just very good, it's very. [00:24:53] Speaker D: Consistent and it's very like I can feel myself at this farmhouse because I've. [00:25:00] Speaker C: Been at farmhouses like that and I'm already sweating because it feels disgusting. [00:25:05] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, you just feel the air and you hear that general buzzing from the insects. [00:25:13] Speaker B: Kind of looks like, kind of has the coloring of Texas chainsaw. [00:25:17] Speaker C: Yeah, I actually do believe, yeah, I think that's what sparked it because then. [00:25:22] Speaker D: I got onto a making Johnny sad tangent about. [00:25:30] Speaker F: That was when we were. [00:25:31] Speaker A: Talking about Texas Chainsaw too. [00:25:32] Speaker D: Yeah, well, no, it's when we were. [00:25:34] Speaker C: Talking about Texas Chainsaw because we talked about Texas Chainsaw and then we talked. [00:25:38] Speaker D: About Texas Chainsaw too. [00:25:40] Speaker A: Oh my God, I just love Texas Chainsaw one and two. [00:25:44] Speaker B: I recently watched them all. [00:25:46] Speaker F: Nice. [00:25:48] Speaker A: Like just everything because there's a fucking ton of them. [00:25:51] Speaker C: The only one I remember the story that makes me remember it is on one of my friend's 16th birthdays. He wanted to take everybody to go see like it was a big party at his house and he was like, we should go see the new Texas chainsaw. And my parents wouldn't let me go. And then it became a big thing and then nobody got to go see fucking Texas Chainsaw because my parents wouldn't let me go to an r rated movie at 15. [00:26:21] Speaker A: Damn. [00:26:22] Speaker D: Ruined the party. [00:26:25] Speaker B: What'd you go see instead? [00:26:27] Speaker C: We didn't go fucking anywhere instead. [00:26:31] Speaker B: Nice. [00:26:31] Speaker A: Hopefully you should have just done drugs or drank just to stick it to your parents. [00:26:35] Speaker D: Should have, should have. But I mean, like his mom and. [00:26:38] Speaker C: His stepdad were going to go with us and they were going to pay for everybody's tickets and so it was like, what the. [00:26:45] Speaker D: I don't understand Johnny. [00:26:47] Speaker C: And then I watched that version in. [00:26:49] Speaker D: College and it could have been rated pg 13. It didn't even have really good gore. [00:26:58] Speaker C: They advertised it as the goriest one ever. [00:27:01] Speaker D: And in one scene they dropped a. [00:27:04] Speaker C: Sack of sausages on the floor because. [00:27:06] Speaker D: Somebody got disemboweled and that was it. [00:27:09] Speaker C: But it was too freaking dark to see anything. [00:27:12] Speaker A: There was an NC 17 or not NC. There's an unrated version that was released. [00:27:17] Speaker B: Later that had a little bit more of the gore. [00:27:19] Speaker D: Yeah, but it was. [00:27:23] Speaker A: Not great. [00:27:24] Speaker C: I remember it also being a very dark movie. And like you said, it's very dark. [00:27:28] Speaker D: You can't see shit. That the thing that scares you most. [00:27:31] Speaker C: About Texas Chainsaw is it happens in the daytime. [00:27:35] Speaker D: And so it feels like, tonally, that that movie was way off because you're. [00:27:41] Speaker C: Supposed to be able to see fucking. [00:27:42] Speaker D: Everything, which is what makes it spooky. Yeah. [00:27:45] Speaker C: Jason is the one who lurks in the dark. [00:27:47] Speaker D: Come on, for real. [00:27:49] Speaker F: I guess. [00:27:49] Speaker D: Also Michael Myers and Sam from trick or treat. But Sam's a little cutie. [00:27:55] Speaker C: It's like, hi, little pumpkin guy. [00:27:56] Speaker D: Hi, little pumpkin guy. [00:27:57] Speaker A: Little pumpkin. [00:27:58] Speaker D: Scarecrowman. [00:27:59] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:28:00] Speaker A: Except when you see under his mask, he's like a creepy alien. [00:28:03] Speaker C: Whatever he is, he has a heart and a paper bag. [00:28:09] Speaker D: He did have a heart paper bag, right? [00:28:12] Speaker B: I think so. I mean, you would know more than me, man. [00:28:15] Speaker C: Well, I haven't rewatched it in. Guess. I guess I should discuss that. Rewatching is David's highest form of flattery for a movie, because there's too many movies out there to watch for the first time, I don't ever watch them again. So if I ever rewatch a movie, that's the movie I'm going to talk about forever. Like fucking Candy man. I've seen Candy man like 20 times. [00:28:42] Speaker D: I love that shit. [00:28:43] Speaker C: It is so amazing. Don't even get me started on Candy man. [00:28:47] Speaker D: We're talking about 1992 Candy man. That starts with the aerial shot of Congress Parkway, and it follows the car. [00:28:54] Speaker C: Down underneath the post office down to UIC. [00:28:58] Speaker D: Oh, man. Amazing fucking opener that they. [00:29:03] Speaker C: Then they did a reverse of it for the. [00:29:11] Speaker A: Yeah, because it was, it was. It was delayed in the pandemic a. [00:29:13] Speaker C: Little bit, and then they just strapped a camera to the top of a train and then filmed straight up through the canyons of buildings on a very rainy day. [00:29:24] Speaker F: That was cool. [00:29:26] Speaker C: This has turned into candy man, the podcast. [00:29:30] Speaker D: How many times have I said the name Johnny? [00:29:33] Speaker C: What are we too many? [00:29:36] Speaker B: Is there a mirror in your room there? [00:29:38] Speaker C: Well, let me tell you, if Tony Todd were to show up at my. [00:29:41] Speaker D: House, I would be gladly run through by him. [00:29:46] Speaker C: It would rock. I fucking love Tony. [00:29:47] Speaker A: It would be an honor. [00:29:49] Speaker C: I would then ask that he yell towards Stovacor to let them know that a warrior is coming and I would die happy. [00:29:57] Speaker A: Well, I don't think these angels died happy that Javi killed issue of spawn. [00:30:01] Speaker C: Here, getting their bits picked at by birds. [00:30:06] Speaker F: Yeah. [00:30:06] Speaker D: Oh, man. [00:30:07] Speaker A: And you get this awesome second page of hobby. Just standing there smoking a cigarette. [00:30:13] Speaker B: Got the hat going. [00:30:14] Speaker A: It's a nice, tall hat. [00:30:16] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:30:16] Speaker D: Just watching the ravens, just looking over. [00:30:21] Speaker C: He's just oppenheimering. [00:30:22] Speaker D: I have become death to these angels. [00:30:27] Speaker C: I like just every fucking wear. There's knives, like throwing knives. [00:30:33] Speaker A: I know. They're just, like, stuck into every part. [00:30:35] Speaker C: Of the house, everywhere. [00:30:36] Speaker D: They're stuck in the steps. [00:30:38] Speaker C: They're stuck in that truck. They're stuck. [00:30:43] Speaker D: Everywhere. And somehow, miraculously, the horses unscathed. I would have imagined for such a battle of such size that there would. [00:30:55] Speaker C: Be some collateral damage to the barn and or horses. [00:30:58] Speaker F: But no, they persist. [00:31:01] Speaker B: Yeah, the horses survive. That's good. And he's basically just thinking about cog and how much he hates cog. [00:31:08] Speaker A: He's just sitting around being like, man, this guy's been bugging me forever. [00:31:11] Speaker B: And because he doesn't know, he thinks. [00:31:14] Speaker A: Cog has also been pulled through time. [00:31:16] Speaker D: Yeah, because why wouldn't he? [00:31:18] Speaker A: Yeah, why wouldn't he in his time? So he's like, oh, he must have. [00:31:21] Speaker B: Been pulled through time. Duh. [00:31:22] Speaker C: Yeah. He was just a civil w era wino. Just sitting around asking for some strawberry. [00:31:28] Speaker D: Ripple, decides to go grab himself a horse. [00:31:33] Speaker C: He starts riding the white horse, Johnny. He gets himself some heroin and just blasts himself down the street. [00:31:40] Speaker A: No, he rides a real white horse, David. [00:31:43] Speaker C: Also, the very last thing you're doing when you take heroin is galloping down the road. Usually you just end up standing and forever trying not to sit. [00:31:57] Speaker D: I don't know if you've ever seen. [00:31:59] Speaker C: People just standing on the sidewalk, Johnny. [00:32:02] Speaker D: Just like, looking like they're about to sit and being like, oh, I can't sit. [00:32:06] Speaker E: Oh, I can't sit. Can't sit. [00:32:10] Speaker C: It's like they equate sitting with dying and they're trying to avoid it at all costs. And listeners, if you ever see that that person is on heroin and you. [00:32:19] Speaker D: Should maybe watch them and bust out. [00:32:22] Speaker C: Your narcan, just in case they fall. [00:32:23] Speaker D: Over and take care of your fellow peoples. Some people are going through it. Don't disparage them for what they need to get through the day. Make their day easier to get through. [00:32:36] Speaker C: That's our psa for the week, available. [00:32:38] Speaker A: At your local library, Narcan. [00:32:42] Speaker C: This is just going to become a. [00:32:43] Speaker D: Heroin talk, Johnny, and people are going. [00:32:46] Speaker C: To listen to it because they're going to be like, hell, yeah, heroin. And we're going to be like, heroin is bad. You need to get some Narcan. [00:32:53] Speaker E: But it's true. [00:32:53] Speaker D: Get some Narcan. But anyway, Javi's on this white horse galloping down the street, and he drops his cigarette, Johnny. That's how intently focused he is on this little jousting trip he's going on. [00:33:12] Speaker B: I was just watching the. I put on the dvd spawn animated series yesterday, and there's a part where he fights some mobsters in the second or third episode, and the guy drops. [00:33:30] Speaker A: A cigarette, and he kills them all before the cigarette hits the ground. [00:33:33] Speaker B: Pretty cool. [00:33:33] Speaker D: Nice, man. [00:33:36] Speaker B: But this cigarette hits the ground, and then all of a sudden, Jessica Priest pulls. [00:33:43] Speaker C: She's. [00:33:44] Speaker B: She's not a metal, even. [00:33:47] Speaker C: Like, she's just, like, nonchalant about it. She's only using one hand on the. [00:33:51] Speaker D: Wheel or the steering bar. [00:33:54] Speaker B: She's like, I don't even give a shit. [00:33:56] Speaker D: Yeah, so she's just out for a little cruising. [00:34:01] Speaker C: She's not cruising for a bruising, Johnny. [00:34:03] Speaker D: She's just cruising. She's just cruising. [00:34:05] Speaker B: And in the Todd father narration, he says that it's his first encounter with a metal horse. [00:34:12] Speaker A: But even more jarring is the fact. [00:34:14] Speaker B: That it's a female riding the black beast. [00:34:19] Speaker A: She's eating a girl dinner. [00:34:25] Speaker C: She's about to be eating, in the colloquial sense, because she's about to drop. [00:34:30] Speaker D: A whole bunch of knowledge on Javi. And she's flexing and. [00:34:39] Speaker F: Just eating. [00:34:39] Speaker C: She's just eating. [00:34:40] Speaker F: That's it. [00:34:41] Speaker E: That's it. [00:34:42] Speaker C: But Gunslinger is about to find out, Johnny, that not only can women do things they couldn't do 150 years ago, this woman does them better than almost every other man. [00:34:52] Speaker B: Her name is Jessica Priest, aka she spawn. [00:34:55] Speaker D: Yeah, and some good. [00:34:57] Speaker A: Some really good lettering there. [00:34:58] Speaker D: Yeah, there's a fun little tomo bit there. And it's not just she spawn, it's she spawn, period. Like boom, boom, like, end of discussion. [00:35:10] Speaker C: And the period is also in very. [00:35:13] Speaker D: Nice big fancy font. [00:35:16] Speaker A: I like it cuts off. Javi stops him in his tracks. [00:35:19] Speaker C: She does, like a little fishtail. [00:35:20] Speaker D: A fishtail stop there. [00:35:22] Speaker C: And Javi's got his. [00:35:24] Speaker D: His lever action rifle leveled right at her, trying to figure out who she is. [00:35:33] Speaker C: And they start talking spawn. [00:35:38] Speaker D: They bust out the recording equipment, and. [00:35:40] Speaker C: Javi says, good evening. [00:35:43] Speaker A: Welcome to the. [00:35:45] Speaker C: And Jessica says, hey, javi. [00:35:50] Speaker B: You ever seen Trickortreat? [00:35:56] Speaker F: I would be. [00:35:57] Speaker C: I would be honored to have my. [00:35:59] Speaker D: Place taken by Jessica Priest. Absolutely. [00:36:02] Speaker A: I would be too, if your place. [00:36:05] Speaker B: Was taken by Jessica Priest. [00:36:07] Speaker A: Hey, be a different kind of podcast. [00:36:09] Speaker B: It'd be just me. [00:36:11] Speaker C: It would just be you. Heavy breathing. [00:36:14] Speaker A: No, not heavy breathing. Jesus. Being really nice and talking to her and asking her great questions. [00:36:23] Speaker C: Breathing. You'd have to think of some really great questions, because I have a feeling that she would be like, come on. Come on. It's 40 minutes. We haven't gotten to the meat of the story. [00:36:35] Speaker D: I'm on a timetable. [00:36:36] Speaker C: She's very no nonsense. She would be like, this is the time we have. [00:36:40] Speaker F: We're going to get in. [00:36:41] Speaker A: No nonsense. Busy. [00:36:43] Speaker B: Got a lot going on trying to lead the scorch. [00:36:46] Speaker C: She's got a lot of heart outs. [00:36:47] Speaker D: A lot of heart outs, lot of heart out. [00:36:50] Speaker B: Got to be out by noon, no questions asked. [00:36:53] Speaker F: But. [00:36:53] Speaker C: So, yeah, they're talking spawn. [00:36:55] Speaker D: We get the opening reading. [00:36:58] Speaker C: Javi understands that not all spawns are equally as strong because everybody loves telling him that he's the weak one. [00:37:05] Speaker D: So he's like, I guess that means some of them are stronger than others. [00:37:10] Speaker B: And then, boom, we get gunslinger's fucking power meter. [00:37:14] Speaker D: Yeah, it's actually pretty decent. It's much better than Al Simmons at this point. Good lord. [00:37:20] Speaker F: Yeah, it is. [00:37:21] Speaker A: Everyone's talking about how weak he is. [00:37:22] Speaker F: But doing pretty good. [00:37:23] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:37:23] Speaker D: I wonder, since it's 4213, I wonder if this started out as just 4321. [00:37:30] Speaker C: And then Thomas Healy was like, hey, hold on a second. That just looks lazy. Can we switch this around a little? It's not as evil as 666, but. [00:37:43] Speaker D: More evil than six. [00:37:44] Speaker C: So Javi's like, yeah, I'm going to take care of this myself. I'm just going to ride this horse. [00:37:48] Speaker D: Away to the sunset. [00:37:51] Speaker A: Jessica's like, that horse will not get you very far. [00:37:54] Speaker D: Jessica's like, dude, update, update a little bit. [00:37:57] Speaker C: And she makes him a necro motorcycle there. [00:38:00] Speaker F: Pretty sweet. [00:38:02] Speaker C: As we know, this is the motorcycle that Taylor almost gets stolen from him. [00:38:09] Speaker B: Also, if you look close at Javi. [00:38:12] Speaker A: There, he's got this really round. [00:38:18] Speaker E: This. [00:38:19] Speaker C: This issue has a lot of round. [00:38:21] Speaker D: Eye of surprise in it. I really like it. And then I like that the tod father makes sure that we know that. [00:38:31] Speaker C: Jessica taught him how to ride the motorcycle. [00:38:34] Speaker D: Less than an hour later. [00:38:40] Speaker A: Sits down the field, and teaches him how to ride a motorcycle. [00:38:42] Speaker C: It's pretty funny. Like a gunslinger. A tiny smile crosses his face. [00:38:49] Speaker D: She's got some spawn in her, too. It's like a classic western. [00:38:55] Speaker C: Everybody's like, yeah, they got that spitfire in them. [00:38:58] Speaker D: But he's like, she got spawn in there. Which I guess people do refer sometimes. [00:39:05] Speaker C: To chutzpah as some hellfire. [00:39:07] Speaker D: So, yeah, hellfire spawn, what's the difference? [00:39:11] Speaker B: She gets a sword. That's pretty cool. She picks up a sword from these dead. [00:39:15] Speaker F: Yeah, she's. [00:39:16] Speaker C: She's just cleaning a, it's an rpg. And she's just finding things either that are really cool to use or that. [00:39:24] Speaker D: She can sell back for big money. [00:39:26] Speaker A: Yeah, it's like Diablo up in here. She's just looting the enemies. [00:39:32] Speaker C: She at least doesn't have the serious Sam problem, where he just puts the guns next to his butt and they disappear. She actually has a duffel. [00:39:39] Speaker D: They go in this. [00:39:41] Speaker A: She's got the bag of guns, and. [00:39:43] Speaker B: She finds a white feather amongst these dark angels. So she's like. And wonders if it's redeemer after she's. [00:39:51] Speaker C: Collected all these weapons and stuff. [00:39:53] Speaker D: Just the angel bodies poof up into some smoke. [00:39:56] Speaker B: Yeah, I love godfather. [00:40:00] Speaker A: Just obsessed with logic, like, yeah, well, the body's got to disappear, or else. [00:40:05] Speaker C: You'D be cleaning them up. [00:40:06] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:40:09] Speaker A: I have someone come to clean up all these dead angels. [00:40:11] Speaker E: You just wanted to go poof. [00:40:14] Speaker D: Hey, man, no must, no fuss. No must, no, we're so we instantly. [00:40:23] Speaker C: Get shuffled to someplace that's got, like, nice soft lighting, and it's dense and. [00:40:27] Speaker D: Green and lush, but it's somewhere unknown, Johnny. We don't know where we are, but we know we're somewhere different because of that good coloring. [00:40:36] Speaker A: Yes, we're at Spawn secret base. [00:40:40] Speaker C: It looks more down south than it. [00:40:42] Speaker D: Has in previous books because it's always. [00:40:46] Speaker B: Seems to be, like, montana, Wyoming, New Orleans, or something. [00:40:51] Speaker D: Yeah, I'm expecting, like, Dr. John to come out and be like, you guys want some jambalaya? [00:40:58] Speaker C: That's not how Dr. John sounds. Or like, emerald Agassi to peek around. [00:41:06] Speaker D: The corner and just go, bam, bam, bam. Just hit it with a little bit of necrobam. [00:41:13] Speaker A: That's when you use Cygor, because he's out cold. [00:41:18] Speaker C: Wake him up with that flavor. Spawn's just doing that thing where he's cleaning up a mess and just like. [00:41:25] Speaker D: Grumble, grumble, jim down and grumble, grumble, that little shit. Grumble, grumble. [00:41:29] Speaker F: Yeah. [00:41:30] Speaker B: Then overkill tells on him. [00:41:33] Speaker C: Yeah, he's like, mark Letterman. [00:41:35] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:41:37] Speaker F: Oh, man. [00:41:43] Speaker C: Just like, angry marches down to Mark. [00:41:46] Speaker F: Yeah. [00:41:46] Speaker A: He just starts stomping around the. He's like, if I'm going to look for Jessica and I'm going to look. [00:41:49] Speaker E: For Mark, no one's there. [00:41:53] Speaker B: What the hell is going on? [00:41:55] Speaker C: I can just imagine. It would be great to hear, to just see a scene of Spawn stomping around and then just, like, some Keith. [00:42:04] Speaker D: David Grumble and Grumble. [00:42:09] Speaker B: There's one of my favorite things that happened recently in issue two at the. [00:42:16] Speaker A: End of this issue, that angry Spawn says, that just cracks me up so much. [00:42:20] Speaker E: We'll get to it. [00:42:21] Speaker B: But Spawn is grumbling around here, being all fucking grumbly. [00:42:24] Speaker C: Yeah, he's got the end of this page. Just has, like, the angriest spawn face we've seen in a while. [00:42:33] Speaker B: What the hell is going on? [00:42:35] Speaker D: Yeah, so good. And then he stomps away again, and his cape is just fluttering behind him real big. [00:42:46] Speaker A: I need to make you undead over kill. [00:42:48] Speaker C: I was confused by this. Isn't he already undead? [00:42:52] Speaker A: He needs to make you undead. We should be saying, yeah, he still needs to recover. [00:42:57] Speaker C: Like, segur, you're already behind schedule. Plus, I have somewhere to go. There's so much in that little word. [00:43:03] Speaker D: Bubble, it's like, we got to do this. [00:43:06] Speaker C: We got to do this. We got to do this. But first, I got to go through. [00:43:09] Speaker A: His to do list. He's just complaining about his chores. It's like, regenerate, Saigor. I got to regenerate. Overkill. I'm behind schedule. [00:43:18] Speaker C: It's like, you show up at your mom's house, and she's like, this is the list of all the things I got to do. And then immediately starts doing something that's not on the list. And it's like, but, mom. And she's like, nah, but we got to do this first. And it's like, but it wasn't on the list. She's like, now then we got to do this too. That's not on the list either. Are we making up a to do list, or are we doing the to do list? [00:43:36] Speaker A: So basically, overkill is like, I want. [00:43:38] Speaker B: To go with you. [00:43:39] Speaker F: And he's like, yeah. [00:43:42] Speaker C: That also confused me, because I assumed by what Spawn was saying is that he needs to take over kill with. [00:43:48] Speaker D: Him, not that he needs to leave overt kill. [00:43:54] Speaker A: I mean, top father ain't got time for your shit. [00:43:58] Speaker C: Or Johnny. [00:43:59] Speaker D: He's just too lazy. [00:44:00] Speaker E: Right? [00:44:01] Speaker C: Yeah, he's just lazy. [00:44:03] Speaker B: Like Rob Liefeld said. [00:44:06] Speaker D: Oh, man. [00:44:08] Speaker A: Overkill pukes after getting transported, which is hilarious. [00:44:11] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:44:12] Speaker F: Oh, man. [00:44:12] Speaker C: It's been a while since we've gotten some puking after shadow blasting. [00:44:15] Speaker D: That's a good continuity. I do like that. [00:44:19] Speaker C: Spawn's just got a big ass bandolier of what look like suppositories, but we know to be big boom booms, big, giant bullets. [00:44:29] Speaker D: Yeah, he's got these big ass guns. [00:44:32] Speaker C: They'Re very 90s style comic book guns. [00:44:34] Speaker E: I love them. [00:44:37] Speaker A: Just crazy shapes and crazy, like, things. [00:44:40] Speaker B: Sticking off of it and everything, and. [00:44:42] Speaker C: They end up on the crab dance beach. [00:44:45] Speaker B: Crab dance. [00:44:48] Speaker C: You know, from crab dance? It's just a video of some crabs dancing to some techno music. [00:44:54] Speaker D: It's all CGI. [00:44:56] Speaker E: It's great. [00:44:57] Speaker B: Okay, I'll look up crab dance. [00:44:59] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:45:00] Speaker A: There's this nice beach, which is also cool to show. [00:45:03] Speaker F: Yeah. [00:45:04] Speaker A: Third biome colors. [00:45:07] Speaker B: From the coloring. [00:45:13] Speaker C: And, like, blue based, it's wonderful. [00:45:16] Speaker D: He did a great job. [00:45:18] Speaker E: It looks nice. [00:45:19] Speaker B: I want to go there. [00:45:20] Speaker C: Yeah. So Spawn and overkill start looking for. [00:45:23] Speaker D: Some seashells, and then, like, always happens, Johnny. You get caught in some quicksand. [00:45:32] Speaker B: I always thought Quicksand would be a huge problem. [00:45:37] Speaker C: You know how many times I had training for what to do if you get into quicksand? I definitely thought that I would have. [00:45:43] Speaker D: Come across it at least once by now. [00:45:48] Speaker A: Quicksand, video games and, like, growing up made me think lava and Quicksand were going to be a much bigger problem for my life. [00:45:55] Speaker C: I thought I'd get sucked into a whirlpool. [00:45:58] Speaker A: Something have to deal with a lot. [00:45:59] Speaker D: More times than I have. [00:46:01] Speaker F: Oh, boy. [00:46:02] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:46:02] Speaker D: Which is something zero. [00:46:04] Speaker C: Something's grabbing Mr. [00:46:06] Speaker D: Overt kill and pulling him below the sand. And Spawn's there trying to do, like in Jurassic park. One when that dude's pulled into the. [00:46:18] Speaker C: Raptor cage and he got the hand. [00:46:20] Speaker B: That slowly, slowly leaves shoot, and we find out it's Ahsoka Tano underneath him, because. Do you watch the new episodes? [00:46:33] Speaker C: I watched the first episode. [00:46:35] Speaker F: Me too. [00:46:36] Speaker A: She, like, cuts those droids out underneath. [00:46:39] Speaker C: Yeah, she just, like, sucks them down there. Oh, man. Fucking. I love Ahsoka. [00:46:42] Speaker D: She's great. [00:46:43] Speaker F: Yeah, it's good. [00:46:44] Speaker B: First episode shows good. [00:46:46] Speaker D: The Lothcat's fucking rule. [00:46:49] Speaker B: I like Ray Stevenson. [00:46:50] Speaker A: Rip. [00:46:51] Speaker D: Yeah, Rip. [00:46:53] Speaker C: He was very good. He was very good. It was sad to learn that he. [00:46:57] Speaker D: Died already because he did good. [00:47:00] Speaker B: He was a great punisher. Do you ever see Punisher war zoned? [00:47:04] Speaker F: Oh, yeah. [00:47:05] Speaker C: I loved Punisher war. I have a friend who. [00:47:06] Speaker A: It was, like, the really cartoony one. [00:47:08] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:47:08] Speaker C: But I was like, nah, they played into the goofiness. It was. [00:47:12] Speaker F: Was. [00:47:13] Speaker C: Here's what you need to know. He's just going to bust into this building and kill some people. [00:47:16] Speaker D: All right. Yeah. [00:47:17] Speaker A: Directed by Lexi Alexander. [00:47:20] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:47:20] Speaker C: It's much better than any other Punisher movie I've seen. [00:47:24] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. No, it's. [00:47:25] Speaker D: It's definitely the best because it does. [00:47:28] Speaker C: Not take any time to make you think that this is some real bullshit at all. They're just like, this is fucking crazy. [00:47:34] Speaker D: Just roll with it. [00:47:36] Speaker F: Yeah. [00:47:36] Speaker A: And he looks like that. [00:47:37] Speaker B: He looks like. I don't know, just Ray Stevenson's head. [00:47:41] Speaker A: Looks like the classic Punisher head. [00:47:43] Speaker D: Yeah, it was good. [00:47:45] Speaker C: And he's got micro at the desk. [00:47:48] Speaker D: And there's no, like, where did he get micro from? [00:47:51] Speaker C: Nobody fucking cares. [00:47:53] Speaker A: Oh, Wayne Knight plays him, right? [00:47:54] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:47:55] Speaker C: I was about to say it's our budy who stole the dinosaur dna for money. [00:48:00] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:48:01] Speaker C: And then gets his face acided and. [00:48:05] Speaker D: Then eaten in his jeep. [00:48:06] Speaker F: Blinded. [00:48:08] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:48:09] Speaker C: We get another round eye surprise. [00:48:11] Speaker A: Yes. [00:48:12] Speaker C: There he is. [00:48:13] Speaker A: Spawn's like, he loses overkill, getting sucked down sand. [00:48:20] Speaker D: He does what they teach you to. [00:48:23] Speaker C: Do once somebody you know has been sucked into quicksand. And that's just shoot. Fucking shoot at it until it goes away. [00:48:30] Speaker E: Shoot the quicksand. Bracket, bracket, bracket, bracket. [00:48:35] Speaker A: That reminds me of always Sunny episode. [00:48:37] Speaker B: Where they shooted a tidal wave. [00:48:39] Speaker C: I haven't. [00:48:41] Speaker D: I can't do always sunny. [00:48:43] Speaker F: Okay? [00:48:46] Speaker C: Every character is too unredeemably terrible for. [00:48:51] Speaker D: Me to get into it. [00:48:52] Speaker B: Yeah, they're all pretty bad. [00:48:54] Speaker C: I understand that is the point of the show, that they're all awful people. [00:48:57] Speaker D: But I need, like, the righteous gemstones. [00:49:01] Speaker C: I need a gem of goodness in. [00:49:02] Speaker D: Them that they just are too stupid to invest in. [00:49:08] Speaker B: Well, there's an episode where they're trying. [00:49:10] Speaker A: To make a lethal weapons sequel, and. [00:49:13] Speaker F: In 2020 or beyond, and they're, like. [00:49:17] Speaker A: Trying to find a bad guy that wouldn't offend anybody. So they pick a tidal wave, and. [00:49:20] Speaker B: At the end they're, like, shooting at the tidal wave. It just reminds me of that. I just love that you're just like, fuck it, I'm going to shoot the ground. [00:49:30] Speaker C: And then. [00:49:33] Speaker D: We get Finn from the Force awakens, stuck on Jaku. [00:49:43] Speaker F: Right. [00:49:44] Speaker C: And Al says that he'll give him. [00:49:46] Speaker D: One quarter portion and helps him out. [00:49:50] Speaker F: Yes. Right. [00:49:51] Speaker B: Why is he. Finn? [00:49:53] Speaker F: Yeah. [00:49:54] Speaker D: Finn crash lands and then sticks his hand. That's the first thing you see of him. Or, like, they used it in the trailer. [00:50:00] Speaker B: His arm pops out. Yeah, because it's in the quicksand. [00:50:05] Speaker D: Yeah, another round eye. [00:50:12] Speaker A: All the spawns are getting surprised. [00:50:13] Speaker F: This is. [00:50:17] Speaker D: You know, spawn digs overkill. [00:50:20] Speaker C: Out, and then the ground starts to. [00:50:21] Speaker D: Move again, and he's, ah, we're in California. [00:50:24] Speaker B: It's an earthquake, but it's not. It's a monolith, not an earthquake. [00:50:29] Speaker C: So, Johnny, they've got those videos of. [00:50:31] Speaker D: Like, the razor clams popping out of. [00:50:35] Speaker C: The ground and doing some weird shit on the beach. [00:50:37] Speaker D: And that's frightening enough, but if I. [00:50:39] Speaker C: Were to go to the beach and. [00:50:41] Speaker D: This motherfucker popped out, no, I would. [00:50:45] Speaker C: Be like, I told you I fucking hate the beach and I didn't want to be here. [00:50:48] Speaker D: Why are we here? Look at this guy. He's taken muscle beach to a whole new level. [00:50:55] Speaker B: Dude looks like a slab of beef. [00:50:58] Speaker C: Yeah, he's just out there on Venice. [00:51:02] Speaker D: Beach showing up all the oiled up musclemen. He's just like, weak, weak. [00:51:10] Speaker B: Look at that neck, man. [00:51:14] Speaker D: Talk about traps and overt kills. [00:51:17] Speaker A: Like, I'm going to kick his ass. [00:51:19] Speaker C: That's more muscle than I have on my entire body, Johnny. [00:51:23] Speaker F: What? [00:51:23] Speaker C: Listen, that's more muscle than I have. [00:51:25] Speaker D: On my entire body when he's gotten those traps. [00:51:28] Speaker E: Oh, yeah. [00:51:29] Speaker A: Overkill's like, ah, I used to be the one with the biggest neck around here. [00:51:32] Speaker C: I'm going to kill this guy. Overkill goes through it. [00:51:38] Speaker D: He gets kanged and cracked and killing blowed. [00:51:45] Speaker B: Yeah, he just punches through. [00:51:50] Speaker E: He. [00:51:50] Speaker C: He understands that the only way to kill one of these things is to. [00:51:54] Speaker D: Put a hole in its chest that you can fit your fist through, Johnny. [00:51:58] Speaker E: Yep. Boom. [00:51:59] Speaker F: Yeah. [00:52:00] Speaker C: He's killed enough angels to know that that's how you kill hell things. Knowing that overt kill, already dead, already. [00:52:09] Speaker D: Weak, already half zombied, now gets completely, absolutely fucksered. [00:52:14] Speaker C: Makes the revelation of overt kill being a bad guy again under the direction of Jim Downing. [00:52:22] Speaker D: Absolutely not a surprise at all. [00:52:26] Speaker B: Here comes my favorite part of the whole damn issue. As he goes, they finally, like, he comes over. [00:52:32] Speaker A: He's like staring down spawn. [00:52:33] Speaker B: He's like, they call me bottle is fond. [00:52:36] Speaker A: Just goes, I don't give a shit. He's so pissed off. This issue sponsor is so mad. [00:52:46] Speaker E: Yeah, I don't give a shit. [00:52:50] Speaker C: That's also after he just tells them that, don't fucking move. [00:52:54] Speaker A: Yeah, don't stop, don't fucking move. [00:52:57] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:53:00] Speaker D: Al Simmons, not normally so foul mouth. [00:53:05] Speaker B: He just says, wits end, man. [00:53:08] Speaker C: Next issue. [00:53:09] Speaker D: Johnny the Omega. [00:53:11] Speaker B: That's one of those more abrupt Todd father endings which just kind of ends. He does that occasionally. [00:53:18] Speaker D: It's effective. [00:53:19] Speaker F: It's effective. [00:53:20] Speaker D: It's a fun time. [00:53:21] Speaker C: It's a fun time. That's where it ends for me, Johnny. But what kind of back met are you working with over there in that three? [00:53:28] Speaker A: Oh, we got a spawning ground. It presents the breakdown this time, and. [00:53:34] Speaker B: It'S a little breakdown of what the plot. It's like pages two and three. [00:53:43] Speaker E: Which. [00:53:43] Speaker A: Is that big spread we were talking. [00:53:45] Speaker B: About where Javi sit in there, and. [00:53:47] Speaker A: It just goes through what the plot. [00:53:49] Speaker B: And script pages look like, what the lettering looks like, and the sketch and. [00:53:58] Speaker A: The ink and the color just shows. [00:53:59] Speaker B: Them all in each individual stages and. [00:54:01] Speaker A: Then shows it all. Well, it doesn't show it all together. [00:54:03] Speaker B: But you get that back in the issue, but kind of breaks down how everything works. And also, this is hilarious. Can I read you the plot that. [00:54:11] Speaker A: Tod McFarland wrote for this? For this page? [00:54:14] Speaker F: Yes. [00:54:14] Speaker A: Because there's script, which is actually what. [00:54:15] Speaker B: The captions and everything say, and there's plot. [00:54:18] Speaker F: This is what it says. [00:54:20] Speaker D: Two page spread. [00:54:21] Speaker E: Okay. [00:54:22] Speaker A: This should be a cool image of gunslinger spawn standing right where you left him last issue. Lots of carnage around him, dead bodies, bullets on the ground, feathers, et cetera. [00:54:29] Speaker F: Should be a mess. [00:54:30] Speaker B: As the gunslinger casually smokes a cigarette. Birds fly. I just love that. [00:54:35] Speaker A: Should be a cool image. [00:54:39] Speaker C: That's the Todd father being real collaborative. [00:54:41] Speaker D: He's like, I know you fucking know what cool is? [00:54:44] Speaker C: Make it look cool as shit. [00:54:46] Speaker A: It's like when I get my haircut, I always just tell her, make me look cool. What do you want me to do? [00:54:50] Speaker F: And I'm like, make me look cool. [00:54:53] Speaker C: Sometimes that's what you got to do. Because there are a lot of times where people will come in and be like, I want this haircut. [00:54:58] Speaker D: And it's like, you do realize that that haircut doesn't work on you, right? So letting somebody who knows what they're. [00:55:05] Speaker C: Doing just do what they know how. [00:55:06] Speaker D: To do, it's phenomenal. [00:55:10] Speaker B: That's what you got to do. [00:55:11] Speaker F: And that's what Tod McFather's. [00:55:13] Speaker A: Todd McFather? [00:55:14] Speaker C: Tod McFather. [00:55:15] Speaker A: The Tod McFather? Tod McFather had a comic Todd father. [00:55:22] Speaker B: That's what the Todd father does here. [00:55:25] Speaker A: And then after that nice little breakdown. [00:55:27] Speaker B: It just has an ads for the origins collection. Just comics in general. Image comics in Nice. Nice has an ad for something called ha ha. [00:55:45] Speaker D: Is that a book? [00:55:46] Speaker A: A new anthology from the best selling writer behind Ice cream man W. Maxwell. [00:56:05] Speaker C: Innocently hilarious as they might present themselves. [00:56:09] Speaker B: It's got your least favorite thing, David. [00:56:11] Speaker A: It's got a scary clown. So that makes you angry because you like, not scary. [00:56:17] Speaker C: No, no, it's not the scary clown that's the problem. It's the person that dresses up as. [00:56:21] Speaker D: The scary clown for Halloween. [00:56:23] Speaker E: Okay? That's right. [00:56:25] Speaker B: They just got an ad for reckless by Ed Brubaker. [00:56:29] Speaker F: Okay? [00:56:30] Speaker B: Ed Brubaker, crime. [00:56:33] Speaker C: He does. [00:56:37] Speaker D: Like Detective Noir yeah. [00:56:40] Speaker A: In comic book Tarantino shit or something. [00:56:43] Speaker C: Better than anybody going. [00:56:44] Speaker D: So if you like dwar, get some brewbaker. He's real good at it. [00:56:50] Speaker E: Okay, cool. [00:56:51] Speaker A: And then it has some toy ads that I'm excited about. [00:56:54] Speaker B: First you get the dune toys. [00:56:58] Speaker F: Ooh, nice. [00:56:59] Speaker D: Which is part two has been pushed back to. [00:57:02] Speaker C: I know, pushed back like four months. [00:57:04] Speaker E: Which. [00:57:07] Speaker C: Doesn'T seem any more than because the first one was pushed back like years. So what's four months? I could accidentally sleep over four months. [00:57:18] Speaker D: And not have noticed that I slept at all. [00:57:23] Speaker B: The dune figures evidently had to collect to build sandworm. [00:57:29] Speaker F: No. [00:57:30] Speaker B: Whoever Dave Bautista's character is, there's a giant. [00:57:36] Speaker A: No, rabbit is his name. [00:57:37] Speaker C: Yeah, he's a harconin. [00:57:41] Speaker F: Yes. [00:57:41] Speaker C: I don't remember who he was. [00:57:43] Speaker D: He wasn't Baron Harkonnen because that was Dalton cigars guy. [00:57:48] Speaker A: Well, that's what I was about to say. There's a twelve inch deluxe figure of Baron Harconin. [00:57:51] Speaker D: Nice. Although not nice. [00:57:54] Speaker A: How does he get that? [00:57:54] Speaker C: What a disgusting thing to have that. [00:57:56] Speaker D: Goes on the disgusting wall with the. [00:57:59] Speaker C: Chained up and ice cream scoop. [00:58:02] Speaker D: Stabbed Billy Kincaid figure. [00:58:04] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:58:04] Speaker A: Why would you. Yeah, I don't know why you'd want. [00:58:06] Speaker F: To try into that. [00:58:07] Speaker A: But then the best part, David, the last page is a toy ad for this McFarland series called Raw ten. [00:58:14] Speaker D: Oh, nice. [00:58:16] Speaker B: And it has like animals. [00:58:19] Speaker C: No, there's like a half shark, half machine. [00:58:24] Speaker F: Yes. [00:58:24] Speaker A: His name's frenzy. [00:58:26] Speaker E: I see a picture right here. [00:58:29] Speaker B: And there's a battlesnake Raptor. And Cygor is one of them. [00:58:34] Speaker C: Yeah, I remember that. They put Cygor out on them. Oh, I'm looking at them now. [00:58:38] Speaker D: Is that a dragon version there? A dragon raptor. There's a snake. That snake looks. [00:58:50] Speaker A: Yeah, they all have names like Cygor, Raptor, friend Z. And then the snake is just called battlesnake. [00:58:56] Speaker C: That snake looks eerily like the diamondbacks logo. [00:59:00] Speaker D: Johnny. [00:59:04] Speaker C: Eerily. [00:59:07] Speaker A: Tod. Father. [00:59:08] Speaker B: Maybe sneaking a little diamondback reference in there? [00:59:12] Speaker C: Possibly. [00:59:13] Speaker D: I do like how he's just found. [00:59:15] Speaker C: A way to get Cygor in multiple toy lines just so that way we can keep having Cygor. [00:59:22] Speaker B: Yeah, it's like they put Al Simmons in a toy line that was not spawned once. [00:59:29] Speaker E: Yeah. [00:59:32] Speaker F: Well, I mean, they put it. [00:59:33] Speaker D: In a mortal kombat toy line. [00:59:35] Speaker B: Yeah, but there was a. Oh, man. [00:59:38] Speaker A: There was like some toy line of. [00:59:39] Speaker B: Just general action figure. [00:59:41] Speaker A: Like total chaos, I think it was called. That's what it was. [00:59:44] Speaker C: And they had. [00:59:44] Speaker A: Al Simmons was one of the hero be. [00:59:48] Speaker C: You know what would be cool? If they did one of those mutating. [00:59:52] Speaker D: Turtle toys that you could turn Al Simmons, plain Al Simmons, into spawn by, like, flipping. That'd be awesome. [01:00:03] Speaker F: Get on it. [01:00:04] Speaker C: Transforming spawn, it's got one of those thin, satiny capes that you can bundle up and put into his back, and. [01:00:14] Speaker D: You press a button and it just goes and releases. [01:00:20] Speaker B: Just pops out. [01:00:22] Speaker C: That would be awesome. Johnny, we should get in the toy business. [01:00:28] Speaker D: Let's do it. [01:00:29] Speaker C: Oh, boy. [01:00:30] Speaker D: Oh, boy. We would make not very many dollars, but anyway, that's. That's spawn. 310. [01:00:39] Speaker E: 313. [01:00:40] Speaker D: Not 310. Woo. [01:00:56] Speaker B: Next up, we got scorch 19 the most. [01:01:00] Speaker C: Johnny, this is the most important issue. [01:01:02] Speaker D: Of scorched we have ever covered and will ever cover. [01:01:06] Speaker E: Yes. [01:01:06] Speaker A: Because 19 is the most important number. [01:01:09] Speaker B: As we know from Mr. Stephen King. [01:01:13] Speaker C: Mr. Stephen cocaine era king. [01:01:16] Speaker F: You know what? [01:01:17] Speaker D: I don't even fucking care if it was his cocaine era. [01:01:20] Speaker C: It fucking rocked. That man could bust out, like, three. [01:01:24] Speaker D: Books a year without the cocaine, but with the cocaine just did it faster. [01:01:31] Speaker A: And the books were just really a lot longer. [01:01:33] Speaker D: Yeah. Oh, boy. It's hard enough for me to write, like, fucking three paragraphs in an email. [01:01:42] Speaker C: That is very important. [01:01:44] Speaker D: I couldn't imagine writing 1000 page book in six months and then having the. [01:01:51] Speaker C: Time to reread it multiple times to edit and polish. [01:01:55] Speaker D: Oh, boy, oh, boy. Stephen King is a. He's a beast. [01:02:01] Speaker F: He's a beast. [01:02:01] Speaker C: He's probably got some spawn in him, Johnny. [01:02:03] Speaker D: That's how he can get it done. [01:02:05] Speaker B: I think he probably is a spawn. [01:02:08] Speaker F: He has mean. [01:02:10] Speaker B: How else could you do? [01:02:12] Speaker F: Mean? [01:02:13] Speaker D: I certainly can't do it. [01:02:14] Speaker A: He's retired like, four times and then keeps writing books because I think his. [01:02:18] Speaker C: Retirement is he's just going to write stories for himself. And then he's like, you know, I could actually probably just get some money off of this and have a nice lunch or something. Yeah. [01:02:28] Speaker A: He retired so many times. [01:02:29] Speaker C: He's looking great. I love. He and his wife each have a corgi, and the well behaved Corgi is his wife's corgi, and the ill behaved corgi is his. And he's always like, this fucking dog, you guys. [01:02:42] Speaker D: He calls her Molly, the thing of pure evil. [01:02:45] Speaker A: Oh, my God. [01:02:48] Speaker E: Poor Molly. [01:02:50] Speaker C: National treasure. [01:02:51] Speaker D: Stephen King. [01:02:52] Speaker F: National treasure. Oh, yeah. [01:02:55] Speaker C: They're going to make another one of those movies where Nicolas Cage needs to steal the Stephen King. Like, there's an imposter Stephen King walking around and the real one's hidden below. [01:03:08] Speaker D: The Vatican or something like that. [01:03:14] Speaker C: Oh, man. And then while he's down there. He can walk by that containment unit that has the medieval in it. And he could be like, what the fuck is going on in there? [01:03:23] Speaker D: I don't know. That's another movie. [01:03:25] Speaker A: Some other medieval spawn in there. [01:03:29] Speaker C: Boy. Johnny, I have lost the plot. [01:03:31] Speaker D: We are on scorch number 19, aren't we? [01:03:34] Speaker E: Yes. [01:03:35] Speaker D: The 19 will always bring us home, Johnny, we got the covers here. [01:03:41] Speaker B: We got three covers on this one. [01:03:43] Speaker D: How many covers? [01:03:45] Speaker F: Three. [01:03:47] Speaker B: There's a bonus third that you probably don't know about. [01:03:52] Speaker C: Is this going to be another story time? [01:03:55] Speaker A: No, it's just a version cover. [01:03:58] Speaker E: Okay. [01:04:00] Speaker B: There was a month that they did a version cover for each one. [01:04:03] Speaker D: Yeah, they're doing that a lot for them now. [01:04:07] Speaker F: So. Seems to be people. [01:04:09] Speaker D: People are liking this artwork, Johnny, and for good reason. It's good artwork. [01:04:15] Speaker B: The a cover, which is the one I read, is by Chris Stevens, and. [01:04:20] Speaker A: It'S that really, like, kind of orange red. [01:04:22] Speaker D: Yeah, I said it before and I'll say it again. I fucking love these Chris Stevens covers, johnny. [01:04:29] Speaker B: Yeah, they're great also. [01:04:30] Speaker A: It's like a Jessica priest. Like, she's like playing a fucking guitar. [01:04:33] Speaker F: Yeah, almost. [01:04:34] Speaker A: With her gun. [01:04:35] Speaker F: Pretty cool. [01:04:37] Speaker D: Or like she's doing. I thought of it more as, like. [01:04:41] Speaker C: That badass moment at the end of an action film where the hero picks up the big gun and it's like. [01:04:47] Speaker D: Slow mo picking it up to save the day. [01:04:51] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, definitely. [01:04:52] Speaker D: It's like in media hero pickup there. [01:04:55] Speaker B: And in the background, you get, like. [01:04:56] Speaker A: This swirling image with Redeemer. [01:04:58] Speaker B: And medieval. [01:04:59] Speaker D: Yeah, and medieval, honestly looks a little bit like he's at bat because the. [01:05:08] Speaker C: Sword just, like, disappears behind him. And so it just looks like he's waiting for that good fastball to come. [01:05:14] Speaker D: Right down the center of the plate. [01:05:18] Speaker A: He really does. He's very focused, too. [01:05:20] Speaker D: Yeah, I know that Redeemer is rearing back to punch somebody, so somebody's going to have a real bad day after that. Real bad day. [01:05:32] Speaker C: We don't mention it very often, Johnny. [01:05:34] Speaker D: But I bet those angels fucking punch hard. [01:05:39] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:05:41] Speaker C: They punch holes straight through necroplasm beings. [01:05:45] Speaker B: Holes big enough to fit your whole fist through. [01:05:50] Speaker C: If this were like a boxing movie. [01:05:52] Speaker D: If there were a spawn boxing movie. [01:05:56] Speaker C: There would be a montage that ends with them learning their own power, and. [01:06:01] Speaker D: They just punch straight through a bag, like, straight through it. [01:06:05] Speaker C: And Cog would be over there being. [01:06:09] Speaker B: Yes, very good. [01:06:15] Speaker D: In the meantime. [01:06:17] Speaker C: Meanwhile, peeking through the window would be. [01:06:20] Speaker D: A clown being like, did you see that, Kitty? Did you see that, Mr. Kitty? I could have done that. [01:06:28] Speaker C: We need to remake. [01:06:29] Speaker A: But equally as bad ass is another medieval on the b cover here. [01:06:37] Speaker B: The B cover is by Kevin Keane, friend of the comics, because he's done quite a bit. [01:06:46] Speaker C: Yes, he has. He's done some interior work. [01:06:48] Speaker D: He's done some exterior work. [01:06:53] Speaker B: He's all over these pages of Spawn. [01:06:56] Speaker D: He would be spawn family at this point, I do believe. [01:06:59] Speaker B: Yeah, but it's a picture of medieval. [01:07:03] Speaker A: Chilling in a church next to some stained glass. There was like this brief run of. [01:07:07] Speaker B: Like, it seemed like thematically connected, like. [01:07:09] Speaker A: Stained glass and church things. Because there's the one where gunslingers popping through. There's a king spawn where he's standing in a flooded church. [01:07:16] Speaker B: This. They all came out around the same. [01:07:19] Speaker C: What was it? The 301 that had the. [01:07:22] Speaker A: Yeah, that was a long time ago. These were all like pretty close to each other. [01:07:25] Speaker D: Yeah, these were all close to each other. [01:07:29] Speaker C: We've talked about it previously and it's just a good sort of place setting. [01:07:34] Speaker D: For spawns to be like spawns. They're hell beasts. They shouldn't be in churches. And churches is what has churches is what has. [01:07:42] Speaker C: Churches are always. [01:07:43] Speaker A: But churches are where hell exists. And the churches are always kind of scary. [01:07:47] Speaker D: Yeah, I do like that. [01:07:50] Speaker C: The dragon on the stained glass window. [01:07:52] Speaker D: Looks odly like one of the ones. [01:07:55] Speaker C: Put out for Tod McFarlane's dragons. [01:08:00] Speaker A: Maybe it is Tod McFarlane's dragon there. [01:08:04] Speaker C: But the Todd Father wouldn't put an advertisement for another property of his and. [01:08:10] Speaker D: A property of his, would he? [01:08:12] Speaker A: Oh, not at all. They don't talk about Avatar in Spawn. [01:08:18] Speaker C: Or don't talk about fucking what was, oh, the hangover. [01:08:23] Speaker F: The hangover. [01:08:24] Speaker C: Even though Jurassic park, every one of. [01:08:26] Speaker A: Them, he did like hangover. [01:08:31] Speaker B: He mentioned Lord of the Rings and Avatar and they did a gandalf for that. I'm surprised he wasn't like, oh, she's. [01:08:36] Speaker A: Like the Wicked Witch of the was. [01:08:39] Speaker C: I was waiting for. Or like the Bugs Bunny. They're going to talk about Looney. [01:08:44] Speaker A: We got to talk about this. What's up with these fucking Jumanji figures, man? What a choice. [01:08:52] Speaker C: I don't know. [01:08:53] Speaker A: I love the people on the Internet shitting on them. Like the comments like, this is like dog shit. [01:09:00] Speaker D: Hey, man, that a Todd McFarlane designed. [01:09:06] Speaker C: Figure of Jack Black now exists is totally worth whatever bullshit people are complaining about. [01:09:15] Speaker D: There aren't enough Jack black action figures. [01:09:17] Speaker C: And by that I mean I don't. [01:09:18] Speaker E: Think there are any. [01:09:20] Speaker B: Oh, I'm sure there's probably been some. [01:09:23] Speaker A: Count bowser or the kung fu panda. [01:09:26] Speaker C: Yeah, but those aren't based off of his body. [01:09:28] Speaker D: Those are based off of already existing intellectual property. This actually looks like Mr. Jackalope Blackley. [01:09:42] Speaker C: I was trying to think of what. [01:09:43] Speaker D: Jack could be short for, and I don't remember Jackalope. [01:09:48] Speaker A: Jack is just the nickname for John. [01:09:51] Speaker D: It's John. Why would substantively. [01:09:59] Speaker C: What do you save by saying Jack instead of John? [01:10:03] Speaker B: I don't know. [01:10:06] Speaker D: Oh, boy. [01:10:08] Speaker A: I guess you could say, like, john Kennedy. [01:10:10] Speaker B: They called him Jack. [01:10:13] Speaker F: Man. [01:10:14] Speaker D: Nicknames were Wild. Johnny, Johnny, Jack. [01:10:17] Speaker B: John, Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack. [01:10:19] Speaker D: I was at the block party yesterday. [01:10:21] Speaker C: Everybody has, like, 14 nicknames. [01:10:23] Speaker D: I can't keep them all straight. [01:10:25] Speaker C: And then there was one point where some of the guys were making fun. [01:10:29] Speaker D: Of another guy who gave himself his. [01:10:31] Speaker C: Own nickname based off of his sister's nickname because his sister was. [01:10:42] Speaker D: Tayte, and. [01:10:44] Speaker C: So he started calling himself Trey. [01:10:46] Speaker D: Trey. [01:10:47] Speaker C: So that way it could be, like a progression. And they were like, I'm not fucking calling him that. [01:10:52] Speaker D: You can't just make yourself up a nickname. And I thought that was funny because, yeah, you can't make your own nickname. Your nickname is given to you. You don't have any say in the matter at all. [01:11:04] Speaker B: No, you can't pick your nickname. [01:11:06] Speaker D: No, you sure can't do it. You can pick your tagger name. [01:11:10] Speaker C: The one that you put on some tags, some toss ups. [01:11:14] Speaker A: You pick your game tag if you're playing Xbox. [01:11:16] Speaker E: Yeah. [01:11:18] Speaker D: 69 420 hound. [01:11:22] Speaker C: That's the first one. [01:11:24] Speaker A: Mine's clean as hell because I got Xbox Live, like on the original Xbox. [01:11:30] Speaker D: Jonathan B. Fisher. [01:11:32] Speaker F: No, with the beast. [01:11:33] Speaker B: Oyster space boy. [01:11:35] Speaker E: That's it. Nice. [01:11:38] Speaker C: Did you listen to a lot of. [01:11:39] Speaker D: Oysterhead around that time? [01:11:41] Speaker B: No, Oyster boy is a Tim Burton character. [01:11:45] Speaker D: You should listen to some oyster head. It's real fun. It's a super group with Les Claypool and the drummer from the police. His name is escaping me right now. [01:11:58] Speaker C: And Trey Anastasio from fish. [01:12:02] Speaker B: I used to see them a lot, or I used to see the cds. [01:12:06] Speaker A: A lot, because I'd be looking for. [01:12:07] Speaker B: Oingo, boingo, oingo boingo, and I'd find Oyster head. It's good stuff. No, Oyster Boy is a Tim Burton. [01:12:18] Speaker A: Character from the book of poems called Oyster Boy and other stories. [01:12:23] Speaker C: Well, the time has come, my little. [01:12:25] Speaker D: Friends, to talk of other things, of shoes and ships and scorched and whether angels have wings and whether Sean Lewis wrote this thing. [01:12:40] Speaker F: Yeah, he did. [01:12:41] Speaker A: Because he spoilers. [01:12:47] Speaker C: He gets along with a little help. [01:12:49] Speaker D: From his toddfather with some additional script. The wonderful Steven Segovi is doing the. [01:12:55] Speaker C: Art on this one. [01:12:56] Speaker D: Oh, man. Fucking love, Steven Segovia. Bringing the goods every time. Ulysses Ariola doing colors, colors, colors. [01:13:08] Speaker C: Maybe not as good as in 313. [01:13:11] Speaker D: But they're still excellent. [01:13:15] Speaker B: Those are some standouts. [01:13:17] Speaker D: No shade at all. And world design doing the lettering. Guy who covered the covers, the Todd. [01:13:25] Speaker C: Fathers being the creative director. [01:13:27] Speaker D: He's directing creatively. And then Thomas Healy is our editor in chief. Well, not our editor in chief, but. [01:13:35] Speaker C: The editor in chief. How amazing would it be if, since we called out Thomas Healy and he was like, I'm going to listen to that episode. And then he's like, I'll edit your podcasts. [01:13:47] Speaker A: I'll be your editor. I would be fucking thrilled, man. [01:13:51] Speaker C: I would probably pass out. [01:13:52] Speaker D: That would be amazing. [01:13:55] Speaker A: I have four more hours a week fucking free. [01:14:00] Speaker D: Imagine the good notes we would get. He'd give us some good notes, but that's the credits. [01:14:06] Speaker B: So. Previously in Scorch. [01:14:09] Speaker A: The planet eaters have arrived. She spawn is dead, and spawn is going to get his revenge. [01:14:18] Speaker C: This is a classic term paper. That is the perfect thesis statement, Johnny. We are now going to attack each. [01:14:27] Speaker D: Of these items in turn in the body of the paper. [01:14:30] Speaker C: And our professor is going to give us, like, a 96 on this. [01:14:35] Speaker D: Minimum. [01:14:36] Speaker C: Minimum. [01:14:37] Speaker B: Three topics, minimum. [01:14:39] Speaker C: Might even submit it for an essay contest for best written essays. [01:14:43] Speaker D: Johnny, did you ever have classes with. [01:14:46] Speaker C: Anybody who, like, their professors submitted their term papers for things, and then they won, and they're like, what the fuck is this? [01:14:52] Speaker D: Because I hung out with a couple of those people, and they were like, it's just an essay. [01:14:58] Speaker C: What the hell is going on here? And then they got, like, $500 for winning an essay contest that they didn't ever intentionally enter. [01:15:05] Speaker D: It's pretty fun. Some of college is fun. I could never do it again. [01:15:11] Speaker A: I thought I got $500 from town. [01:15:13] Speaker B: And gown theater because I got a scholarship. [01:15:15] Speaker D: Because, hell, yeah. [01:15:17] Speaker B: Basically, it was a scholarship for creating independent. Or, like, it was like, a creative award. [01:15:25] Speaker A: And since I was the only person in theater department that wrote things, I got. [01:15:29] Speaker D: Nice. Hey, you still got it, johnny. We got it. You got it. [01:15:39] Speaker C: You know what else we got? [01:15:40] Speaker D: We got Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City here, Johnny. [01:15:45] Speaker F: Yeah. [01:15:45] Speaker C: Which everybody. [01:15:46] Speaker D: Everybody knows now, because the Chiefs are good. [01:15:51] Speaker C: Unfortunately, the Chiefs weren't good when my grandfather was alive, and they were my grandfather's football team. [01:15:56] Speaker F: So. [01:15:58] Speaker C: I will forever hold a grudge against them for that. So I do begrudge them their winning, because they should have done it when. [01:16:06] Speaker D: My grandfather could see it. [01:16:09] Speaker B: Not very thoughtful of them. [01:16:11] Speaker D: No. Absolutely devastating is what I would refer to it as. Because that man has a life filled. [01:16:20] Speaker C: With terrible things happening after his sports teams lost. [01:16:25] Speaker D: Literally. Tangent time, Johnny. [01:16:29] Speaker C: As if you couldn't feel it coming. My grandfather had a stroke at 38. Literally, the last thing he did as a fully able bodied person was watch the Wichita State men's basketball team lose. [01:16:48] Speaker D: He watched them lose. He went to bed. He woke up not being able to move half his body. [01:16:54] Speaker C: So fuck you, Wichita State, too, because. [01:16:58] Speaker D: Your mascot should be called the haymaker. [01:17:00] Speaker C: And not whatever the fuck it's called. [01:17:02] Speaker D: Because look at him. He's hay and he's about to punch you. It's built in. They should be the haymakers, but they aren't. [01:17:13] Speaker E: There's something dumb. [01:17:14] Speaker C: I'm going to look it up real quick because it's so dumb. [01:17:16] Speaker D: I keep forgetting what they're called. They're called the shockers instead of the haymakers because they're literally. [01:17:23] Speaker C: I'm going to send you a picture of their mascot. [01:17:25] Speaker D: He's literally hay. He is hay who was chewing a piece of hay and he's about to throw a punch. How do you not call them the haymakers? [01:17:32] Speaker E: Look at him. [01:17:33] Speaker D: Look at him. How is that not a haymaker? How. [01:17:36] Speaker F: Yeah. [01:17:36] Speaker A: It would be a lot better than. What are they? [01:17:39] Speaker D: Shockers. [01:17:40] Speaker C: Shockers. Apple jacks would be a more rememberable name than shockers. [01:17:47] Speaker A: I didn't even remember the shockers and you just told me. [01:17:51] Speaker D: Fucking terrible. They gave my father a stroke and. [01:17:55] Speaker C: I'm not going to back down from that. It's 100% their fault that my grandfather. [01:17:59] Speaker D: Had to relearn how to write. [01:18:02] Speaker C: Anyway, back to what started the tangent. [01:18:06] Speaker D: Goddamn arrowhead stadium with the fucking winning chiefs. [01:18:10] Speaker F: Boo. [01:18:11] Speaker C: Go back to losing, you bums. [01:18:16] Speaker A: That's funny that they have it take. [01:18:18] Speaker B: Place at a real stadium. [01:18:19] Speaker F: Yeah. [01:18:20] Speaker C: Well, they like to ground stuff in real life sometimes. Maybe that's a toddfather thing where he's like, we got to put it in a real place. [01:18:28] Speaker D: But it also does some of that. [01:18:31] Speaker C: Todfather business of not even toddfather business. [01:18:36] Speaker D: It gives us a distinct place in the country. And then we've got senator Terminus. [01:18:42] Speaker C: And so we know what people who. [01:18:44] Speaker D: Are flocking to see this senator at. [01:18:47] Speaker C: This particular place in the country are probably all about. And he's backstage not rallying the troops. [01:18:57] Speaker D: But punishing the troops. [01:18:58] Speaker C: Right? [01:19:00] Speaker F: Yeah, basically. [01:19:03] Speaker A: He's a terrible boss. He's terrifying. He ties you up if you do a bad job. [01:19:08] Speaker D: They followed all of his commands. And he says, that's not good enough. Basically, you continue to fail your commissions. [01:19:19] Speaker A: Swipes his hand and kills them all. [01:19:22] Speaker D: Boy, that is a hell of a year in review. [01:19:27] Speaker C: And then he gets into some finger. [01:19:29] Speaker D: Paints and he uses their bloods to draw some sigils because, well, as we'll. [01:19:37] Speaker C: See later, he's definitely using it for. [01:19:39] Speaker D: Some witchcraftery, some summoning. [01:19:46] Speaker C: It's not so much that these people. [01:19:48] Speaker D: Didn'T do their jobs, but that he was going to fucking kill him anyway. He's just a bad boss all around. He should be in that Adam Scott show or movie. Bad bosses, right? [01:20:04] Speaker B: I don't think Adam Scott's in that. [01:20:05] Speaker D: Adam Scott's not in it. I thought he was. [01:20:07] Speaker E: Nope. [01:20:08] Speaker B: It's Jason Sudekis. [01:20:09] Speaker C: Oh, Jason Sudekis. [01:20:11] Speaker F: Okay. [01:20:12] Speaker D: Dang it. [01:20:13] Speaker C: I thought we were going to come. [01:20:14] Speaker D: Full circle, but no. [01:20:16] Speaker B: Full synergy. [01:20:17] Speaker F: No, unfortunately not. [01:20:19] Speaker C: Now then the senators. [01:20:24] Speaker D: Closest assistants come. [01:20:26] Speaker C: In and are like, the fuck? [01:20:27] Speaker D: Is this? [01:20:28] Speaker C: The senator? [01:20:28] Speaker A: What if he pukes? [01:20:29] Speaker F: Yeah. [01:20:31] Speaker D: Senator Terminus steps out on stage. [01:20:33] Speaker C: That stadium is full. [01:20:35] Speaker D: Oh, people. [01:20:36] Speaker B: He says, I hate earth. I always have. [01:20:39] Speaker E: Yeah. [01:20:39] Speaker F: But then. Thank you. [01:20:40] Speaker C: Thank you. It's such an honor to be with you today. And then he hypnotizes them. [01:20:46] Speaker D: Not with his words, but with his actual hypnotism. [01:20:52] Speaker A: These are pretty progressive people at this senator with a big old arm tattoo. [01:20:57] Speaker E: Yeah. [01:20:59] Speaker C: And he's. He's wearing. [01:21:01] Speaker F: Wearing. [01:21:03] Speaker D: Wearing clothes that fit. [01:21:04] Speaker C: And they're not like, we can't follow this pansy. [01:21:08] Speaker E: He's too dapper. [01:21:12] Speaker D: He's got a good close short hair. [01:21:16] Speaker C: With the big beard, which is a. [01:21:18] Speaker D: Style unto itself some people just can't pull off. But senator Terminus is pulling it off. [01:21:24] Speaker E: Quite well right now. Yeah. [01:21:27] Speaker D: Also, look at that thigh meat. Goodness. He's a beefy lad. [01:21:33] Speaker F: Yes. [01:21:36] Speaker B: And he hypnotizes them with all these marks. [01:21:40] Speaker A: His eye goes like. [01:21:43] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:21:48] Speaker C: It'S his anime eye. [01:21:51] Speaker E: Xiong sing. [01:21:55] Speaker C: In the anime. [01:21:56] Speaker D: Those little lines definitely go, yeah. [01:22:00] Speaker F: Yeah, definitely. [01:22:04] Speaker C: So he's doing some mass hypnosis. And then we. [01:22:07] Speaker D: Elsewhere in Oregon, at the childhood home of she spawn, we get an argument between medieval and Al. [01:22:16] Speaker E: Yeah. [01:22:17] Speaker A: Picks up where we left off last time. [01:22:19] Speaker F: Yeah. [01:22:20] Speaker D: And Al being like, basically, you shouldn't. [01:22:23] Speaker C: Be here unless she spawn is dead. And then medieval is like, yeah, she's dead. [01:22:28] Speaker E: What are you talking about? [01:22:30] Speaker D: So medieval gets to tell. [01:22:36] Speaker F: The story. [01:22:37] Speaker D: Of Jessica priest she spawned. [01:22:43] Speaker F: Yeah. [01:22:43] Speaker D: Tail to tail. [01:22:44] Speaker B: And then her daughter is like, looking out the window. [01:22:48] Speaker C: Yeah. She's got those big ass brown eyes. So she sees everything that's happening. [01:22:53] Speaker D: Oh, man, those are some big eyes. That child sees forever. [01:23:00] Speaker B: When she says she saw medieval and. [01:23:03] Speaker A: Spawn, she says they look like they were dressed up, like they were going. [01:23:05] Speaker B: To a party or someplace fun. [01:23:08] Speaker D: Hell, yeah. [01:23:09] Speaker B: This kid, that'd be a crazy party. [01:23:11] Speaker F: That would be a crazy party. [01:23:12] Speaker D: But this kid obviously already knows how to party. [01:23:16] Speaker C: She recognizes party clothes. [01:23:20] Speaker E: Yeah. [01:23:22] Speaker C: And she gets told to come away from the window. And she does. And then we learned that not only. [01:23:26] Speaker D: Was the grandchild watching, but Monolith and Redeemer were too. [01:23:32] Speaker C: And Monolith. Monolith doesn't understand emotions. I think nose is hilarious. [01:23:39] Speaker A: He's like, I don't understand this custom. He wants to tell a little girl. [01:23:42] Speaker C: Her mother is dead and Edrini is back there like, yeah, he's got to. [01:23:47] Speaker D: Tell her that Stovercor has gained another warrior. And then Monolith's like, but did she die with honor? And Redeemer says, it's a good day to die. And then wields a batless. [01:24:05] Speaker C: I'm trying to make Star Trek happen here, Johnny. [01:24:08] Speaker D: Come on. [01:24:08] Speaker A: I don't know. Any of those references are just whooshing over me like the starship Enterprise, baby. [01:24:14] Speaker D: Oh, man. So Stovacor is basically klingon heaven. [01:24:18] Speaker C: And you only get there by dying. [01:24:22] Speaker D: Honorably and usually in battle. And whenever a Klingon warrior dies, all. [01:24:28] Speaker C: Of the assembled Klingon warriors will just yell. [01:24:32] Speaker D: They'll just put their heads back and yell. [01:24:35] Speaker C: And it's a battle cry to warn. [01:24:38] Speaker D: Stovacord that another warrior is on their way. [01:24:41] Speaker E: Nice. [01:24:43] Speaker F: Yeah. [01:24:44] Speaker B: I didn't know that. [01:24:45] Speaker D: Yeah, it's cool. It's real fun. It's real fun. [01:24:52] Speaker C: Love the Klingons. They're a little cringey sometimes, but I love them. Then we get some talk between Monolith. [01:25:00] Speaker D: And Redeemer, where Monolith is just like. [01:25:04] Speaker C: Redeemer, you should know fucking better than this. And then spawn shows up and says, monolith, you should know better than this. [01:25:13] Speaker A: A lot of dudes just yelling at. [01:25:15] Speaker B: Each other over Jessica's death. [01:25:16] Speaker D: A lot of finger pointing, a lot of standing around. They're like two dogs that have met and are both big, beefy boys and are just sitting there growling each other. [01:25:29] Speaker B: You dragged me in the sand back in issue 313, you jerk. [01:25:33] Speaker F: Yeah. [01:25:33] Speaker D: How dare you? Then we get back to, back to. [01:25:38] Speaker C: Arrowhead Stadium where. [01:25:43] Speaker A: Lackeys are cleaning up the blood. [01:25:45] Speaker C: Yeah, he's got those nice big white boots on. [01:25:50] Speaker D: If I could find big white rubber. [01:25:52] Speaker C: Boots like that, I would buy them. [01:25:54] Speaker D: For rainy days because I like them. They're real good. [01:26:00] Speaker C: They're like the rainboot version of Punisher boots. [01:26:03] Speaker D: Big white boots. [01:26:04] Speaker B: They're pretty cool. [01:26:07] Speaker D: And this one guy who's cleaning up. [01:26:09] Speaker C: The blood is like, why does the. [01:26:10] Speaker D: Senator keep killing people? Why does he do this? [01:26:13] Speaker C: The other lady is like, we don't question. [01:26:15] Speaker D: It's like. [01:26:18] Speaker C: There'S absolutely nothing wrong with saying, hey, why did he just kill. [01:26:22] Speaker D: A whole bunch of people? [01:26:24] Speaker A: Yeah, you can ask that about your boss. It's okay. [01:26:28] Speaker C: Yeah, if they have a reason for. [01:26:30] Speaker D: It and you're cool with the reason, it's fine to ask, right? [01:26:36] Speaker C: It's not like he's saying, I don't. [01:26:37] Speaker D: Believe in this guy anymore. He's just asking what's happening. And then for his lack of faith. [01:26:46] Speaker C: The demon comes up and snaps his head right off. [01:26:51] Speaker D: Yeah, the other assistant's just so flippant. [01:26:55] Speaker C: About it and she's like, I warned. [01:26:56] Speaker D: You not to question him. [01:26:58] Speaker A: The demon made out of the blood of all those people. It's like a blood demon. [01:27:02] Speaker D: Yeah, it's a deviant demon, right? [01:27:08] Speaker C: I don't know if deviant is his. [01:27:10] Speaker D: Name or just because it's a demon that it's deviated from God. Terminus comes in, starts telling this demon that he owns it, and he's like. [01:27:24] Speaker A: We'Re going to destroy this fucking planet. [01:27:25] Speaker F: And then we're just going to move. [01:27:26] Speaker A: On to other planets. [01:27:27] Speaker F: Yeah. [01:27:27] Speaker D: And then he gets his boardroom on. [01:27:33] Speaker C: Zoom and he's like, we're going to fucking take over the world. Everybody. [01:27:37] Speaker D: Here's what we're going to do. He's like, I got this demon and we're going to go to it. [01:27:44] Speaker C: We're going to get it done. [01:27:47] Speaker F: And. [01:27:48] Speaker B: We'Re going to conquer world leaders with. [01:27:52] Speaker A: Pentagrams for eyes and planet eater in their dna. [01:27:55] Speaker B: So the world eaters are like, spread out all over? [01:27:58] Speaker D: Yeah. They're like sleeper agents that have been woken. [01:28:03] Speaker B: So he starts live streaming, which is hilarious. [01:28:07] Speaker A: We've got a connection. [01:28:08] Speaker B: You're streaming live? [01:28:10] Speaker A: Thank you for hooking it up to the Wifi assistant. [01:28:13] Speaker B: Really appreciate your help there. [01:28:15] Speaker C: I wonder how many times his hard. [01:28:17] Speaker D: Task, I wonder how many times his. [01:28:18] Speaker C: Twitch stream has been forcibly shut down for all of the blood he has spilt and demons he is. He has to get a new tag every time he has constantly banned because. [01:28:32] Speaker A: It ends in people exploding and blood. [01:28:34] Speaker B: Demons coming up to him. [01:28:38] Speaker C: All of his videos have been, like, screen captured and are making their way around the bad part of Reddit he keeps them busy. [01:28:45] Speaker D: He keeps them busy. And then we cut back to Spawn. [01:28:51] Speaker C: And monolith, I guess, have come to an understanding. [01:28:55] Speaker B: Yeah, they worked it out. [01:28:57] Speaker D: They worked it out, and they're going to a funeral or a burial. [01:29:04] Speaker A: I mean, they're still being bitch eat each other. This is wasting time. Spawn's like, then leave, okay? If you don't want to come on this vacation to the ice to see. [01:29:13] Speaker B: Jed, Jessica, then just go home. [01:29:16] Speaker C: They definitely need a stickers. [01:29:20] Speaker B: Yeah, he's hangry for sure. [01:29:22] Speaker F: They're not themselves. [01:29:22] Speaker A: March. Just sitting there in the medieval armor in between them, like, oh, God, please stop. [01:29:26] Speaker F: Please stop. Please stop. [01:29:29] Speaker D: And so they're doing some kind of. [01:29:31] Speaker C: A burial, but it's not a burial for Jessica. [01:29:33] Speaker A: Monolith's hilarious. He has, like, no idea what's going on because he doesn't understand any earth custom. He's just like, so this is some kind of burial. What's going on? [01:29:40] Speaker B: You want to tell a kid or, mother's dead. [01:29:45] Speaker C: Funny. What did they do on Monolith's earth? What did his civilization look like that he doesn't? [01:29:52] Speaker A: They ate dead bodies. Who know? They just, like, shit on them. [01:29:55] Speaker F: Yeah. [01:29:56] Speaker C: Kids don't ever know their parents are dead. Maybe in his world, they don't ever tell kids their parents died. It's just like, oh, they went out for cigarettes. They'll be back eventually. [01:30:11] Speaker A: My family never died. My dad just went to get milk. [01:30:14] Speaker E: And never came back. What are you talking about? I'm monolith. [01:30:19] Speaker C: That's the way they honor them, by pretending that they're still alive somewhere. [01:30:25] Speaker D: I'm sure somebody does that somewhere. So we got necro down there just, like, distraught and in pieces, and spawn jumps down and just turns him into even more pieces. He just makes mince meat out of him. [01:30:46] Speaker C: Monolith is like, he beat up, man. [01:30:49] Speaker D: Real nice. It's like he's one of the security. [01:30:59] Speaker C: Guards just surrounding a fight. And the security guard looks. [01:31:03] Speaker D: Looks at one of the fighters and. [01:31:04] Speaker C: Just gives them the nod of hell. [01:31:06] Speaker D: Yeah, that's what happens. [01:31:08] Speaker E: That's what happens. [01:31:09] Speaker F: Yeah. [01:31:10] Speaker B: Then it cuts just a little bit away. [01:31:12] Speaker A: A little farther away, boom. [01:31:14] Speaker F: Outposts. [01:31:17] Speaker C: The ground starts sparking. [01:31:18] Speaker D: Jenny. It's sparking, and it says something happens. [01:31:21] Speaker B: When they bury you, kill you, and leave you behind. [01:31:24] Speaker F: Yeah. [01:31:27] Speaker D: So she's. [01:31:32] Speaker A: Reanimated with that. She's got the. [01:31:34] Speaker C: She's got the senator's eye. [01:31:36] Speaker D: The senator's Pentagram eye. [01:31:38] Speaker E: Yeah. [01:31:39] Speaker C: Ready? [01:31:40] Speaker A: Not here. I come up, and she's going to run for president. [01:31:42] Speaker D: Yeah, she is. [01:31:46] Speaker C: Or at least be a prominent speaker at Senator Terminus's campaign rallies. [01:31:54] Speaker E: Yeah. [01:31:54] Speaker A: He'd be like, let's bring out she swan. [01:31:56] Speaker E: Yeah. [01:31:57] Speaker F: Yeah. [01:31:58] Speaker D: So here she comes, Johnny. We gotta make sure to. We do see Miss Margaret love down there. I guess Dr. Margaret love still dead, still in the snow. She didn't get resurrected. [01:32:12] Speaker C: So whatever has reanimated Jessica Priest did not like the taste of love. [01:32:18] Speaker D: So I guess decided she what has. [01:32:22] Speaker A: Risen in her place? [01:32:25] Speaker D: I do not know what's risen in her place, Johnny. I guess we're going to have to find out. But we get scorched skull to end the episode or the issue. That's sad. [01:32:35] Speaker B: You'll never get that right again. [01:32:37] Speaker D: Yeah. [01:32:40] Speaker E: Never. [01:32:40] Speaker C: It'll always be an episode, issue, episode, issue, episode, issue. We get a real fun spawning ground. [01:32:49] Speaker B: Mailbag. [01:32:50] Speaker A: Always my favorite is the mailbags. [01:32:52] Speaker D: Yeah, these good shit. [01:32:56] Speaker B: A letter from Jan, who is talking about our buddy jet. [01:33:01] Speaker F: Yeah. [01:33:04] Speaker C: He'S still doing his artwork, which means he's still getting his monthly McFarland action figure. [01:33:09] Speaker D: So pretty cool. [01:33:10] Speaker F: Hell yeah. [01:33:10] Speaker D: There. It's a medieval and dragon is what we got going on right here. He's learning like shading and light sources, which, boy howdy. I'm by no means a visual artist, but trying to figure out lighting and light sources and art. Just like, no, I'm not good at it. [01:33:43] Speaker C: I'm not good at all. [01:33:44] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:33:44] Speaker F: I don't know how people do it. [01:33:45] Speaker C: Like, I will literally see finished pieces that people have done and I would be like, how the fuck? [01:33:51] Speaker E: What? [01:33:52] Speaker C: Jesus Christ. It takes a level of brain power. [01:33:56] Speaker D: That I don't have to be able to visualize that. [01:34:00] Speaker C: So hell yeah. This little kid's working on it and. [01:34:02] Speaker D: He'S doing a good job. Look at that dragon. [01:34:05] Speaker C: The dragon is so cool. [01:34:06] Speaker D: It's got all these gnarly teeth. Medieval spawn is so spiky. Like, he's got the necroplasm eye eyes. So, like, medieval is all in black. [01:34:18] Speaker C: And white, except for his eyes are. [01:34:19] Speaker D: Just like little green slits. [01:34:21] Speaker B: Second letter is from storm in Columbus, Ohio. And he has this cool commission done by local artists. And it's she spawn holding his head. It's pretty awesome. [01:34:35] Speaker F: What a way to go, Johnny. [01:34:37] Speaker D: What a way to go. [01:34:38] Speaker F: What a way to. [01:34:39] Speaker B: Hey, but also a good idea is. [01:34:41] Speaker A: He said he wants she spawn as mortal Kombat DLC. And I'm like, I would be on board for that. [01:34:46] Speaker D: That would be so cool. [01:34:48] Speaker B: I would main she spawn. [01:34:51] Speaker D: So if they were to make she. [01:34:53] Speaker C: Spawn a mortal Kombat DLC. [01:34:55] Speaker D: Who would you want to do the voice acting for her? Because they still have Keith David doing. [01:35:00] Speaker C: The mortal Kombat spawn voice. [01:35:02] Speaker E: Right. [01:35:04] Speaker A: They did in the game, in the last game. I don't know about the newest one, what they'll be doing, but I would. [01:35:08] Speaker B: Say, I would imagine someone like Jessica Chastain. [01:35:14] Speaker D: Jessica Chastain would be wonderful. Who else would be? [01:35:23] Speaker C: Oh, I can only think of Ripley. [01:35:25] Speaker D: Sigourney, maybe Sigourney could do a good one. I think Sigourney would be good, too. [01:35:30] Speaker F: Oh, wow. [01:35:32] Speaker A: That's a big video game. [01:35:35] Speaker C: If they get a sigourney, they would definitely, like. They'd be contractually obligated to make her. [01:35:39] Speaker D: Say, stay away from blank, you bitch. And that would be fun. [01:35:46] Speaker C: That would be fun to see Jessica. [01:35:48] Speaker D: Say that and then just fucking tear into somebody for a finishing move. [01:35:57] Speaker B: That'd be fun. [01:35:58] Speaker C: Hopefully that happens. [01:35:59] Speaker B: But I think the Todd father was. [01:36:01] Speaker A: Hinting at Comic con. That spawn is going to be in the newest mortal Kombat. [01:36:04] Speaker B: I mean, I'm sure he will be nice. Why not? [01:36:08] Speaker C: Absolutely. Why not? [01:36:09] Speaker A: It's going to be called Mortal Kombat one. [01:36:11] Speaker B: Because it's like a reboot. [01:36:13] Speaker C: Mortal Kombat. [01:36:17] Speaker D: On e. No, just the number one. The number one. [01:36:23] Speaker E: Nice. [01:36:24] Speaker A: So there you go. [01:36:25] Speaker B: And then there's a third letter from Frank. Who asked about where reaper and soul crusher went. [01:36:30] Speaker A: And Thomas is like, we'll be finding. [01:36:32] Speaker B: Out about that soon. [01:36:33] Speaker C: Keep reading. We got Thomas's promises. [01:36:38] Speaker A: Thomas's promises. [01:36:40] Speaker F: Yeah. [01:36:41] Speaker D: And here we get one of the coolest things. We got a medieval cosplay. And it is bitching Johnny. [01:36:54] Speaker E: Oh, yeah. [01:36:56] Speaker C: He's got the shield. [01:36:57] Speaker D: He's got the axe. He's got the helmet. The only thing that I wish about. [01:37:03] Speaker C: This picture is they had a picture of him like this. And then a picture of him holding. [01:37:06] Speaker D: His axe and his shield apart. [01:37:09] Speaker C: So he could see that suit behind there. [01:37:10] Speaker B: Because I know I want to see the suit. [01:37:12] Speaker C: Because, like, the little peaks you get, you can tell there's a lot of. [01:37:15] Speaker D: Good detail on it. Yeah, man. [01:37:19] Speaker A: I wonder what kind of costumes will be at Spawncon. [01:37:22] Speaker B: Should I go with Sam? [01:37:23] Speaker D: Yeah, I think you have to. [01:37:27] Speaker B: You're going to fake donut. [01:37:29] Speaker F: A fake donut. [01:37:30] Speaker C: You're going to have to get some of those stage cigarettes. [01:37:32] Speaker D: So that way you could just carry. [01:37:35] Speaker C: Three of them in your mouth at once. And a couple in your hands and just be like, donut. [01:37:44] Speaker D: You could have a coffee with some. [01:37:47] Speaker C: Coffee that you're obviously not going to. [01:37:49] Speaker D: Drink with some extinguished cigarettes in them. [01:37:52] Speaker C: And you're just carrying it around with. [01:37:54] Speaker F: Your donut, just like. [01:37:55] Speaker C: Oh. [01:38:00] Speaker B: Then you get the need more spawns universe ads for the next few issues. [01:38:08] Speaker D: Here and the image classics. [01:38:13] Speaker A: Dragons. [01:38:14] Speaker F: Yeah. [01:38:14] Speaker D: Look at that dragon. [01:38:17] Speaker B: That's the berserk one. That's the one I had preordered that I canceled. [01:38:20] Speaker D: Hey, and that's the same dragon that's on the COVID and the stained glass window. [01:38:29] Speaker A: It looks similar, but I wouldn't say it's that similar. [01:38:34] Speaker D: Are you saying that I think all dragons look the same, Johnny? [01:38:38] Speaker F: Yeah. [01:38:38] Speaker A: Why do you think all dragons look the same, David? [01:38:40] Speaker C: Because all dragons kind of look the same. [01:38:43] Speaker A: It's true. [01:38:44] Speaker E: It's true. [01:38:45] Speaker C: Unless you're talking about, like, a western dragon versus a chinese dragon. [01:38:50] Speaker D: Where those ones are, right. [01:38:51] Speaker C: Those are different, entirely different shapes. [01:38:54] Speaker D: One of them is, like, a scaly. [01:38:57] Speaker C: Bird, and the other one is just a snake with some feet. [01:39:02] Speaker D: Dragon. [01:39:03] Speaker C: Dragon, not lizard. [01:39:05] Speaker D: I don't do the little tongue thing. [01:39:11] Speaker F: Oh, my God. [01:39:12] Speaker C: I like mushu. [01:39:14] Speaker D: He's a good character, but mushu. Mushu. [01:39:18] Speaker C: And Mulan is basically kind of like Mulan's dog. [01:39:22] Speaker D: Which means, Johnny, that since we've just. [01:39:25] Speaker C: Finished Scorch 19, we need to rate these puppies. [01:39:29] Speaker B: It's time to rate the puppies. [01:39:33] Speaker D: Oh. [01:39:34] Speaker C: First up, I've got myself a big old fat pug right here. You can probably hear her breathing on. [01:39:38] Speaker D: Mike, because that's what pugs do. [01:39:43] Speaker C: If she doesn't get held for what. [01:39:45] Speaker D: She feels is, man, all the puppies are going crazy. [01:39:49] Speaker A: So first up, we had spawn 313. [01:39:55] Speaker B: Kind of jumping around to, like, three distinct little areas. You had the western, beginning with Jessica. [01:40:02] Speaker A: Priest giving him the motorcycle. You had the spawn at his base. And then you had the Omega island with monolith. I like this issue a lot. It was a lot of fun. You got to see a lot of. [01:40:13] Speaker B: Fun characters that I like. I'm going to give it five. I don't give a shit. [01:40:22] Speaker F: Nice. [01:40:23] Speaker B: Because I cracked up really hard when Spawn said, I don't give a shit. [01:40:26] Speaker D: I mean, he gives zero shits. [01:40:30] Speaker A: Well, it was also funny, because I. [01:40:32] Speaker B: Just read in the newest king spawn, the same thing happens. [01:40:37] Speaker A: Clowns. Like, oh, he's like, you never asked me why I took on this new form. [01:40:41] Speaker B: And he goes, because I don't give a shit. [01:40:45] Speaker D: Well, at least he's consistent. [01:40:47] Speaker F: That's all you can ask. [01:40:48] Speaker B: At least he's consistent. [01:40:50] Speaker A: But, yeah, I just thought this really fun issue, like you said, the colors are great. [01:40:53] Speaker B: Carlo Barberry, really coming out strong in the beginning. [01:40:59] Speaker D: Yeah, it's excellent work. [01:41:01] Speaker F: It's excellent. [01:41:04] Speaker C: Johnny. [01:41:05] Speaker D: I am going to give it. So I'm going to give it three instances of round. [01:41:12] Speaker C: So that's three out of three. [01:41:13] Speaker D: So that's the full five. But since there's three round eye moments. [01:41:19] Speaker B: Okay, gotcha. [01:41:20] Speaker C: There's a lot of spawns going. Yeah. There's a lot to be surprised about. [01:41:26] Speaker D: In this episode issue. And it's all very good. [01:41:32] Speaker C: It's all very good. [01:41:34] Speaker B: Lots of it. [01:41:38] Speaker F: Yeah. [01:41:38] Speaker D: Like you said, story is real good on it. The art is just crazy good. [01:41:44] Speaker F: Get grumpy. [01:41:45] Speaker A: Al getting mad. [01:41:46] Speaker F: Yeah. [01:41:48] Speaker D: The overt kill being kind of like a good lackey being let down by spawn. That's real interesting. It's a real interesting dynamic. [01:42:02] Speaker A: Our second issue was scorch 19. [01:42:06] Speaker B: Beginning of the fourth arc here of. [01:42:08] Speaker A: Scorch obviously seems like it's going to focus on the center terminus. [01:42:13] Speaker C: He's real big with those planet eaters. [01:42:17] Speaker D: Whatever sort of cosmic horror is going. [01:42:19] Speaker C: To come out of that. [01:42:20] Speaker F: Oh, man. [01:42:21] Speaker D: If there's going to be some cosmic. [01:42:22] Speaker C: Horror elements to this, Johnny, that's going to be amazing. [01:42:26] Speaker F: That would be cool. [01:42:28] Speaker E: I don't know. [01:42:29] Speaker B: As far as this issue. I'm going to give it three. I'm going to give it three senator tattoos. [01:42:39] Speaker C: Three senator tattoos. [01:42:40] Speaker A: Because Spawn's universe is very much more progressive if a Kansas senator. [01:42:46] Speaker C: Well, Arrowhead Stadium is in Missouri, so it would be Kansas City, Missouri, but close enough. [01:42:51] Speaker A: Oh, shit. Oh, my God. I'm an idiot. [01:42:53] Speaker C: Missouri is not much more progressive than Kansas is. [01:42:57] Speaker E: Yeah. [01:42:58] Speaker C: Although in some ways, Kansas might actually be more progressive because they fucking slapped down those anti abortion bills that they. [01:43:05] Speaker D: Had that came out. The voters were just like, people are just like, no, I think people are. [01:43:11] Speaker B: Less on board with that than they thought. [01:43:13] Speaker E: Yeah. [01:43:15] Speaker A: Even, like, republicans and stuff. [01:43:17] Speaker B: It's just like, look, we don't want all these laws. [01:43:20] Speaker F: Yeah. [01:43:23] Speaker C: Turns out people are paying attention to all the studies that show that having good quality access to abortion care actually. [01:43:29] Speaker D: Makes kids be born more healthier. [01:43:35] Speaker C: And the mothers don't often die as. [01:43:39] Speaker D: Much in childbirth, which is what we should be striving for. [01:43:43] Speaker E: Right? [01:43:45] Speaker B: I think so. [01:43:46] Speaker C: I personally think that the battle for. [01:43:54] Speaker D: Life should not be in the living. [01:43:56] Speaker C: You should be able to just live. [01:44:03] Speaker F: Yeah. Pro choice. [01:44:04] Speaker D: Pro choice over here. [01:44:08] Speaker C: There are worse things in the world. [01:44:10] Speaker D: Than removing a bundle of cells from somebody who, a, doesn't want it, b, can't take care of it, c, it. [01:44:19] Speaker C: Could cause issues later on. [01:44:21] Speaker D: We don't need to know the fucking reason somebody else has to make that choice. And that's a terrible choice to have. [01:44:28] Speaker C: To make, but it should be their. [01:44:29] Speaker D: Choice to be able to make, and we shouldn't be able to say fucking anything about it. That's all I'll say about it. [01:44:37] Speaker E: Wow. [01:44:37] Speaker C: More than I should have said that. [01:44:38] Speaker D: Back to rating. [01:44:42] Speaker C: I want to give scorch 19 three decapitated necros. [01:44:47] Speaker D: All right. [01:44:48] Speaker A: I don't know. [01:44:49] Speaker E: It was just. [01:44:52] Speaker A: What'S going on with that blood? Stuff's a little confusing. I remember when I read it, I was like, I don't know what's going on. [01:44:56] Speaker C: I remember because shortly after we read it, I was like, hey, Johnny, this is exactly like Exo Manowar. And you were like, I don't know. [01:45:04] Speaker D: How I feel about it. And I was like, well, yeah, I understand. [01:45:10] Speaker C: I get that. [01:45:14] Speaker D: As far as scorched issues go, we have definitely had better scorched issues by Jessica. [01:45:22] Speaker F: Yeah, we understand. [01:45:23] Speaker C: It's the beginning of an arc. [01:45:26] Speaker D: They'll maybe spend their tires a little bit before they get traction. [01:45:30] Speaker F: Right. [01:45:31] Speaker D: We know that'll happen. [01:45:32] Speaker B: But still, pretty major new characters. [01:45:34] Speaker D: Yeah, it's still a solid story. It was a good time. [01:45:39] Speaker C: Hopefully, much like those fight issues that were at the very beginning of the. [01:45:44] Speaker D: Scorched run, we'll be able to be like, oh, that was a necessary step to this. [01:45:50] Speaker F: Right. [01:45:51] Speaker D: And we'll keep cruising. [01:45:53] Speaker C: It's not like we're going to stop reading scorched. [01:45:55] Speaker F: Come on. Come on. [01:45:58] Speaker D: It's a good book. [01:45:59] Speaker B: Never good book. [01:46:01] Speaker F: Good stuff. [01:46:04] Speaker D: Yeah. So those are some rated puppies, Johnny. [01:46:08] Speaker E: Indeed. [01:46:10] Speaker D: We rated them real good. Like, so speaking of, I got. [01:46:15] Speaker C: I got some puppies that I like to put up on. [01:46:19] Speaker F: I'm always. [01:46:20] Speaker D: I'm always trying to. Trying to shoehorn them in there. [01:46:22] Speaker C: Trying to. If we're going to have pictures of stuff on our Instagram regarding spawn pod. [01:46:31] Speaker D: There'S definitely going to be some pictures of some dogs there, right? [01:46:36] Speaker C: And while you're over on Instagram looking at pictures of our comic books and our faces and my dogs, the most important part, even though they're last on that list, you should probably also follow. [01:46:45] Speaker D: Mac the comic hunter. That's Mac. Underscore the underscore comic underscore hunter. Because, man, Mac's got some good stuff going on. All sorts of pictures of his collection. [01:46:58] Speaker C: Much like Matt collects from last episode. [01:47:02] Speaker D: To call back to a call out. Just a good collection that always is growing. And it's fun to watch them complete their talking. They're talking back and forth with us a little bit, and they're having a good time. You know what, Johnny? It just occurs to me I could have just gone straight into talking about. [01:47:28] Speaker C: Them instead of making a stop by our Instagram, because their profile picture is. [01:47:35] Speaker D: The classic snoopy sleeping on top of his dog house, except for it's the Georgia Bulldog. [01:47:44] Speaker A: Is that what it. [01:47:45] Speaker D: You know, Mac. Mac loves at least one dog, at least one puppy. [01:47:50] Speaker C: That bulldog for. [01:47:51] Speaker D: Oh, man. I don't know if you know any Georgia football fans, but, man, they love their bulldog. [01:47:59] Speaker F: They love it. [01:48:00] Speaker D: Love it. But he's got comics. He's got a video of him dressed. [01:48:06] Speaker C: Up as Michael Myers. [01:48:10] Speaker D: It's real good. [01:48:11] Speaker B: Some horny comics for David. [01:48:13] Speaker C: Hell, yeah. [01:48:14] Speaker D: I mean, it's an oxymoron at this point. He's got that lost boys that I. [01:48:21] Speaker C: Kept telling you about that Tim Seeley wrote. [01:48:23] Speaker D: He's got issue number one of that Lost Boys series signed by Billy Worth. [01:48:31] Speaker B: And Jason Patrick, who were some of. [01:48:35] Speaker D: The Lost boys, some of the titular lost boys in the movie Johnny. [01:48:41] Speaker B: Next, he needs to get him with the Todd father. [01:48:44] Speaker D: There is. [01:48:45] Speaker E: Yes. [01:48:46] Speaker C: Have I not gotten that far? [01:48:47] Speaker E: Dang. [01:48:50] Speaker C: He'S got a lot of stuff. [01:48:51] Speaker D: On here that's really fun to look at, man. So you just got to get on it. [01:48:57] Speaker E: Get on it. [01:48:58] Speaker B: Follow Mac the comic Conner, while you're. [01:49:00] Speaker C: Over on Instagram, looking at us and our comics and my puppies and the puppy of Georgia, Bulldog, Mac the comic. [01:49:09] Speaker D: Hunter, and all of his great shit. Also, stop by. Give a shout out to Brian. Underscore voyals. Underscore 27. Brian does our music. [01:49:21] Speaker F: Oh, yeah. [01:49:23] Speaker D: It's personally one of my favorite parts. [01:49:26] Speaker C: Of the episode when I listen back. [01:49:28] Speaker D: To it, because I'm like, hell, yeah. [01:49:32] Speaker C: Some people have said that our opening song is too long, and one person said that. [01:49:39] Speaker B: They didn't say that. [01:49:41] Speaker A: One person said that forever ago, and they said that. [01:49:44] Speaker D: That's the only feedback we've gotten about. [01:49:45] Speaker C: The music, though, Johnny, so it sticks. [01:49:47] Speaker B: No, but it was because you were playing the entire fucking Todd's toy talk underneath it. [01:49:53] Speaker C: That's why I thought it was before we had Todd's toy talk song. [01:49:56] Speaker F: Well, you know what? [01:49:57] Speaker B: Remember, don't mention that again. [01:50:02] Speaker A: Think too much about that. [01:50:05] Speaker C: We. I should probably take that again, so. [01:50:06] Speaker D: That way we're not just being jerks. [01:50:08] Speaker F: All right. But Brian does. [01:50:10] Speaker A: I want you to talk. No, we're leaving this in. People love this. [01:50:16] Speaker D: Oh, man. Honestly, personally, my own thoughts. [01:50:21] Speaker C: It is too long for the first part. Song for a podcast, but I love. [01:50:27] Speaker D: It so much that I don't give a shit. [01:50:29] Speaker A: Exactly. [01:50:30] Speaker D: So every time I got to listen to these, I gotta, like. [01:50:36] Speaker C: It's a chore every time I listen to these for quality control checks to. [01:50:40] Speaker D: Make sure that I'm not too. [01:50:46] Speaker B: Always. [01:50:47] Speaker C: I'm always rocking out to that music. [01:50:49] Speaker D: Brian does such a good job. [01:50:51] Speaker B: He's great if he feels like Spawn to me. [01:50:55] Speaker C: I have a feeling that creepy Dave needs to do a best favorite musician series and make sure that Brian Voyles is on there. [01:51:05] Speaker D: Do you know creepy Dave? [01:51:07] Speaker F: No. [01:51:08] Speaker C: He's the dude that does the reviews of animals and gives them names that aren't their names. [01:51:14] Speaker D: Like Chihuahuas was. [01:51:19] Speaker B: Funny. [01:51:20] Speaker C: What's a good one? Another good one. A cappy Barbara is a crappy Barbara. [01:51:28] Speaker B: Crappy Barbara. [01:51:29] Speaker D: Crappy Barbara. [01:51:30] Speaker F: Creepy Dave. He's real good. [01:51:32] Speaker C: You should follow him, too, for some. [01:51:33] Speaker D: Laughs while you're over there. But we're not going to shout him out. He'll just be in the meat of the episode. Yeah. So, Johnny, speaking of tangents, do you want to take a tangent with me sometime next week? [01:51:44] Speaker F: Yeah, let's do it. [01:51:45] Speaker B: Let's take a little spawn. [01:51:46] Speaker A: Tangent. Well, Spawn's the main event. [01:51:49] Speaker B: We'll take a tangent, but. [01:51:50] Speaker C: Well, actually, Johnny. [01:51:51] Speaker F: Spawn Johnny. [01:51:53] Speaker C: Unfortunately, this will have to be a tangent free episode, because it's going to. [01:51:58] Speaker D: Be a double main title episode coming up next week. [01:52:03] Speaker F: Oh, boy. [01:52:04] Speaker D: Oh, boy. We're going to have to keep on. [01:52:06] Speaker C: The straight and narrow for this one, Johnny. I don't know if we're going to be able to do it. [01:52:09] Speaker B: I might explode strictly to it. Yeah, we're following up 313 here with. [01:52:16] Speaker A: The next one, Spawn 314. [01:52:18] Speaker C: Yes. [01:52:19] Speaker B: Which takes you from that monolith fight. [01:52:23] Speaker A: To Omega island and meet some people there. So pretty cool. [01:52:27] Speaker C: Yeah, it basically starts off with a monolith fight. [01:52:31] Speaker D: So, you know it's going to be fun. It's a fun time. [01:52:35] Speaker A: And you get that teaser of me talking about how we get to learn about that plague cover. [01:52:40] Speaker B: Yeah, keep an eye out for that. [01:52:43] Speaker C: Yeah, we're going to learn what's in. [01:52:45] Speaker D: That beautiful brain that Greg Capoulo's got. [01:52:49] Speaker F: Exactly. [01:52:50] Speaker D: And then our second issue for next. [01:52:52] Speaker C: Week is going to be Spawn 343. [01:52:55] Speaker D: Johnny, I think that just leaves me to say, may the scorched be with you. [01:53:03] Speaker B: And also with you, David. [01:53:04] Speaker F: Oh, wait, I forgot. [01:53:05] Speaker C: We also got, you gotta like us. [01:53:06] Speaker D: You gotta subscribe to us, you gotta rate us. Then may the scorched be with you.
