SCTV's Dave Thomas talks about making bold life choices, growing up in Canada, Shakespeare saving his ass, choosing between big money success as an ad man or being a broke improviser at Second City, becoming head writer on SCTV, Martin Short, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, John Candy, Catherine O'Hara, Eugene Levy, Joe Flaherty, Andrea Martin, Grace Under Fire, running an animation studio, turning to dramas like Bones and The Black List, going to Ukraine, Thailand, Mad Magazine, The McKenzie Brothers, Chester Hope, and how, to make it in Hollywood, you need at least two of these three things, Talent, Drive, & Luck. Bio: David William Thomas was born May 20, 1949, in St. Catharines, Ontario. He is the eldest son of British parents, Moreen Duff Muir (May 4, 1928 – May 18, 2022), a church organist for thirty years originally from Glasgow, Scotland and composer of church music, and John E. Thomas (1926–1996), a medical ethicist from Merthyr Tydfil, Wales who was head of the Philosophy Department at McMaster University, and the author of several books. Dave's younger brother, Ian Thomas, is a Canadian singer-songwriter. The family moved temporarily to Durham, North Carolina, where his father attended Duke University and earned a PhD in philosophy. The family moved back to Dundas, Ontario, in 1961, where Dave attended Dundas District high school, and later graduated with an honours Bachelor of Arts degree in English literature from McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario.[1]  Starting his career as a copywriter at ad agency McCann Erickson in 1974, Thomas became the head writer of the Coca-Cola account in Canada within a year. After watching a Second City stage show in Toronto, and while suffering from self-described "boredom" in his advertising work, he auditioned for the Second City troupe and was chosen as a performer.[2] He was a cast member of the Toronto production of Godspell, along with Victor Garber, Martin Short, Eugene Levy, Gilda Radner, and Andrea Martin.[3] Paul Shaffer was the musical director.[3 He first achieved fame as a cast member of the Canadian TV comedy series SCTV, joining Godspell castmates Levy, Martin and later Short, plus Rick Moranis, John Candy, Harold Ramis, Catherine O'Hara and others. Notable characters on the show include Doug McKenzie of beer-swilling brothers Bob and Doug McKenzie, editorialist Bill Needle, Scottish scone-chef/bluesman Angus Crock, motor-mouthed TV ad announcer Harvey K-Tel, Lowery organist/curio pitchman Tex Boil and the "Cruising Gourmet". Thomas's first film role was in Home to Stay, directed by Delbert Mann, in which Thomas played in a scene with Hollywood legend Henry Fonda. He then wrote, co-directed, and starred in the Bob & Doug McKenzie feature film Strange Brew. Soon after, he wrote for and acted in The New Show, produced by Lorne Michaels during his hiatus from Saturday Night Live. Short-lived, this show featured a powerhouse writing staff including Thomas along with Buck Henry, George Meyer, Jack Handey, Al Franken, Tom Davis, Valri Bromfield and Steve Martin. Thomas tried his hand at network television hour-long shows in 1986 when he wrote and co-executive produced Steel Collar Man for CBS. The pilot was produced but did not go to series. He co-wrote Spies Like Us (1985) with Dan Aykroyd.  In 1988, Thomas wrote another hour long show for CBS, B Men, which was back ordered, but Thomas took a directing job at Paramount, which caused the network to drop the series. He reportedly introduced John Travolta and Kelly Preston while directing them in the Paramount film The Experts.  He wrote for, produced, and starred in The Dave Thomas Comedy Show (1990). In 1991, he starred in the Showtime comedy, Public Enemy #2. In 1992, he tried his hand at reality TV and co-executive produced ABC's America's Funniest People with Vin Di Bona, but left after thirteen weeks to appear in the film Coneheads.  In 1993, he co-starred in ABC's Grace Under Fire with Brett Butler and Tom Poston and continued with the show for 5 seasons. In 1995 Thomas starred in the ABC television film Picture Perfect with Mary Page Keller and Richard Karn. In 1995 Thomas produced a pilot of a game show called Family Challenge for ABC. When ABC did not pick up the series, Thomas sold Family Challenge to the Family Channel, where he produced 144 episodes of the show spread over 2 seasons. In 1996, Thomas played the title role in the Fox television film Mr. Foster's Field Trip aka Kidz in the Wood with Julia Duffy. In 1996, he wrote the book SCTV: Behind the Scenes (McClelland & Stewart, publishers). From 1999–2002, he voiced various roles on the animated series Mission Hill. Thomas co-starred in the Paramount feature Rat Race. As of 2001, Thomas has been the Executive Creative Director of Animax Entertainment, an animation studio based officially in Culver City, California. In 2001–2002 Thomas appeared with Eugene Levy and Martin Short on Short's show Primetime Glick as Bob Hope (an impression he had first developed for SCTV with great success). In 2002, he co-starred with Jason Priestley, Dave Foley, and Ewen Bremner in Fancy Dancing. The next year he played a lead role in Beethoven's 5th. In 2003, he directed a hospital comedy feature film entitled Whitecoats, which he also wrote. As of 2004, Thomas was on the official Advisory Committee for the Comedy program at Humber College, the only such diploma program in the world. In 2004, he and Moranis again worked together voicing Rutt and Tuke, two moose based on the McKenzie Brothers, in Disney's animated feature Brother Bear.[4]  Thomas has had a long career doing voices for animation including Animaniacs, Duckman, CatDog, The Adventures of Tarzan, Justice League and multiple roles on The Simpsons, King of the Hill and Family Guy. In 2005, he had a guest stint as Charlize Theron's "Uncle Trevor" on Fox's Arrested Development. In 2006, he reprised his voice role in Brother Bear 2 and appeared as himself in the feature film The Aristocrats. He began production on ArnoldSpeaks.com, a video blog, as the voice of Arnold Schwarzenegger; Animax Entertainment won an Emmy for a broadband animated series produced for ESPN, Off Mikes.  In 2007, Thomas and Rick Moranis reprised their roles as Bob and Doug McKenzie in a one-hour special, Bob & Doug McKenzie's Two-Four Anniversary, for CBC Television. The show featured cameos from McKenzie celeb fans like Ben Stiller, Dave Foley, Tom Green, Paul Shaffer, Andy Dick, Matt Groening, Barry Pepper, Martin Short, and Geddy Lee. Former Prime Minister of Canada Paul Martin was the host. In 2008, Thomas revived Bob and Doug McKenzie in a new animated series, Bob & Doug. While Thomas reprises the character of Doug in the new series, Moranis chose not to voice the character of Bob, which instead is voiced by Dave Coulier. Moranis is, however, involved in the series as an executive producer.[5]  In November 2009, Thomas received an Honorary Doctor of Letters from his alma mater McMaster University and gave the fall convocation speech. In 2010 Animax continued to produce branded entertainment, advertising and digital shorts for corporations like Disney, Warner Brothers, NBC Universal, and Kodak. In 2011, Thomas's company Animax produced another animated show for MTV entitled Big Box along with numerous Internet shorts such as Life With Dad.[6][7]  In 2012 and 2013 Thomas guest starred in the dramatic shows Perception and Bones as well as comedy shows Comedy Bang! Bang! and How I Met Your Mother. In addition in 2013 Thomas voiced the recurring role of Jeff Foxworthy's father Jesco in the CMT show Bounty Hunters.  Thomas joined the writing staff of the Fox crime drama television series Bones beginning in 2013. Thomas worked for two seasons on Bones, writing several episodes and working on staff as consulting producer for two seasons.[8]  In 2015 Thomas joined the writing staff of NBC's The Blacklist as a consulting producer. In 2020 life-sized statues of Thomas and Rick Moranis as their characters Bob and Doug McKenzie were put in place at the ICE District Sports Arena in Edmonton, Alberta.[9] Also in 2020, the Governor-General of Canada announced that Thomas was being appointed to the Order of Canada,[10] Canada's highest civilian award. In 2021, Thomas and Max Allan Collins teamed to write a sci-fi mystery novel, The Many Lives of Jimmy Leighton.

This year marks the 30th anniversary of Pinky and the Brain, the beloved Animaniacs spin-off that gave the world two of animation's most unlikely lab partners.At the heart of the series' enduring charm is the voice of Rob Paulsen, the endlessly versatile actor who brought the dim-witted yet lovable Pinky to life with his unforgettable “Narf!” catchphrase. But Pinky is only one jewel in Paulsen's long career behind the microphone.From his heroic turns as Raphael (and later Donatello) in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, to the wisecracking wit of Yakko Warner in Animaniacs, Paulsen's voice has become an essential part of the soundtrack to multiple generations' childhoods. In this interview, he reflects on the legacy of Pinky and the Brain, shares stories from his many other iconic roles, and reminds us why, after decades in the booth, he remains one of animation's most beloved and prolific performers.

Superman (2025) Look, up in the sky! Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it another confused entry into the DC Extended Universe pantheon of super hero films?! No!!! This is something else entirely! James Gunn (Peacemaker, Guardians of the Galaxy) takes on the D.C. Universe with Superman and is clearly building something new and different… but crucially; is it any good? It's made a butt-tonne of cash, and out-scored the Snyder-verse it is taking over from, but does it have a beating heart? There’s some division in the ranks over this one, with everyone having a very different approach to this film that is not just rebooting a universe, but attempting to wash away some of the bad vibes of 12 years of questionable decisions. The whole team is in for this with Dion and Jill in our legion of Doom and Quinny and Peta suiting up as the Justice Gang. You will believe a podcast can fly!!! Synopsis When Superman gets drawn into conflicts at home and abroad, his actions are questioned, giving tech billionaire Lex Luthor the opportunity to get the Man of Steel out of the way for good. Will intrepid reporter Lois Lane and Superman’s four-legged companion, Krypto, be able to help him before it’s too late? https://youtu.be/4x2C9DIB9Fo A huge shout-out to the beautiful, punk as heck, loveable super crew (and their little dog too) who join in with our moderated live-chat during the Twitch stream, each Tuesday night at 7:30pm AEST.

Would you consider yourself the Superman, Stan?  Peta  I mean, Stan would be taking it a bit far. I I’m I’m not. I I don’t dislike Superman. I think. I mean, my first experience with Superman was the old opening title sequence from the old TV show. You know, and then well, is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s Superman. Which was the only thing we knew about Superman for a little while. So when we played Superman and Wonder Woman.  Quinny  Hang on, which which old TV show? All right.  Peta  Superman could be a bird or a plane, or faster earth speeding bullet, and that was it. That’s all we had. We did not grow up with comics. We grew up with sound bites. And then Lewis and Clark, and he ain’t he ain’t no one Superman anymore, so I’m happy. I’m happy for a new Superman. I mean, I I, I you know. Yeah, I I was excited for Henry at the time but.  Quinny  Yes. No, what a ********.  Speaker  Peta  Wasn’t a fan of the dark?  Speaker 3  MHM.  Peta  The dark reboot. Didn’t some somebody who knows nothing really about the character just didn’t feel right to try to dark reboot? Superman didn’t didn’t really work for me, so I’ve I’ve I jumped off the Super train and.  Speaker 9  Hmm.  Quinny  So so you’re trying to tell me that you you weren’t big on Man of Steel, didn’t get into Batman versus Superman and then didn’t love Justice League? Is that what I’m hearing?  Peta  I didn’t watch Justice League. I didn’t watch Batman versus Superman because when it comes to DC movies, I wait for you guys to watch them and then you tell me if I should watch them. And that’s usually how it goes. Yeah. Wait, who was who was the one that was before Henry and like? 2000 and.  Speaker 11  Brandon, Ralph. Yes, Brandon. Ralph. Yeah.  Speaker  Peta  Yeah, yeah, I like chicks.  jill  I will die on that hill. Yeah, I loved that.  Peta  Movie. I like that movie. I saw it. I saw it like in an IMAX theatre in Minnesota or something.  Dion  Yeah. And it was also shot in Sydney.  jill  Yes, it was. And my my 6° of separation I don’t know how many degrees this makes it, but my father changed the traffic lights in the Sydney CBD to American traffic lights so they could film the scenes in the street.  Quinny  Nice. Yeah, right.  Dion  That’s definitely about 6:00 because he didn’t actually interact with anyone.  Speaker 11  He worked. He worked on the film. He did.  Quinny  Sure. We we did work on the.  Dion  Film it’s true, it’s true. So you gotta you’ve gotta count. Like, who was that then? Who was the person he spoke to that was closest to speaking to Brandon ramp?  Speaker 9  Work on the film. Yeah, I’ll let’s just say 3, that’s great.  Quinny  Great. Look, my degrees of separation with Brandon Ralph is one. I’ve met him. Yeah, he’s a very nice man. I really.  Dion  Queen, we’ve talked that.  Quinny  Liked that? He.  Speaker 11  I bet he’s.  Dion  That’s technically considered.  Quinny  He’s super ******* tall.  Dion  Yeah. OK. And he has vegan power.  Quinny  He does have amazing like.  Dion  Because he he’s part of the vegan police. No, wait. He got his head, then stripped.  Quinny  Yes, yes. Because he had cheese at some point, got some Scott Pilgrim.  Dion  That’s right. This is all Scott Pilgrim work. OK, fine. But he’s also got another DC superhero, hasn’t he? In the TV.  jill  Yeah, he’s been the.  Dion  Adam. Yeah. Anyway, more away from Superman. Don’t forget that that the the Superman movie.  Speaker 11  But he did replay.  jill  Superman in the Elseworlds stuff in.  Quinny  Yes. Yeah, he was the the Kingdom come version of Superman, which I ******* loved.  Speaker  Yes.  Dion  So the last time we saw Superman on screen was in the post credit sequence of Black Adam. You forgot about that one, didn’t you?  Speaker 11  Yes, we did. Nope, unfortunately.  Dion  Which was Henry Cavill’s reintroduction into the DC Universe, only to be told very politely. I hope by James Gunn. Nope. Go on. Go on a different direction. So yeah, man.  Speaker  Ohh yeah. Ouch.  Dion  Yeah, but first up though. Like, I mean before we.  Peta  He’s doing all right. He’ll be fine, OK?  Dion  Get too. Before we get too into it, do we have a a synopsis about this new Superman and do you have any requests of the type of accent that what should accent should Quinney be doing it in?  jill  I’ll do it on the timing news guy.  Peta  I was going to say manic tech bro, but yeah, no. We’ve we’ve had many tech bro recently so.  Quinny  Yeah, right. OK. OK, we, we got we got a musical thing on this one. Dion  No worries. Oh yeah, why not? There you go.  Speaker 13  Quinny  I can’t hear it, but I really want. To do when it. When it hits the its stride.  Speaker 13  When Superman gets drawn into conflict at home and abroad, his actions are questioned, giving tech billionaire Lex Luther the opportunity to get the Man of Steel out of the way for good will. Intrepid reporter Lois Lane and Superman’s 4 legged companion crypto be able to help him before it’s too late. Find out in Superman 2025.  Dion  I don’t give a **** the original music’s. Still banging? Yeah.  Peta  I mean that that that’s that. That’s the most fun **** accent we’ve had in a long time. It was barely even.  Quinny  Good.  Peta  Ship quinny. I don’t know.  Dion  Yeah. There we go. People are saying that’s that’s that’s one of your best.  Quinny  That was actually. Vaguely close to what I was aiming for. ******* terrifying.  Speaker 5  Yeah. All right, so.  Quinny  Yes. So here we are, James Gunn. After being ceremony unceremoniously booted from the Marvel Universe and then welcomed back to it so we can do. The end of his trilogy, but during that that brief period of booting was essentially said. Ohh well, if they don’t want you we we’ll give you like. All this other ****. And he then went and made Suicide Squad. And then. Was essentially given the keys to the Kingdom and said you can make your DC.  jill  I’ll tell you what you can fit so many James Gunn elements in this bad boy you’ve got. Kaiju size aliens. You’ve got a quirky, lovable animal. You’ve got deep cut comic book characters. You’ve got obscure version of a mainstream character and.  Speaker 3  Mm-hmm.  jill  The pistol resistance. The one shot fight sequence.  Quinny  Yes, yes, swoopy camera that does all of the the swooping Ness. Yeah, and lots of fisheye lens stuff.  jill  Not much. Snoopy ******* camera in this film. Yeah, besides the fight scene, a lot of swoopy camera.  Quinny  Yeah. So, yes, what do we do? We like James Gunn as a director. I look, I OK I do. I like James Gunn. I’m gonna say that. But feel free to tell me what you all think.  jill  I mean, I found all of the guardians of the Galaxy films very enjoyable. I do like his, you know, I guess you would call it his vision that he. Makes in his films, you know, he’s. Got a very. Clear aesthetic and it’s like a comedy slant on. Serious issues I guess, but also very heartfelt. Yeah, he tends to put a. Lot of himself in his movies and actually crypto is based on his dog.  Quinny  Yeah, who is very bad dog. Yeah, but I love him nonetheless.  jill  So yeah, I I like James Gunn films.  Speaker 2  Hmm.  Quinny  Pete, where are you at with our J?  Peta  No, I mean I I don’t have super strong feelings, but I don’t think I’ve ever been. Mad at them.  jill  Not even for the tweets that he’s trying to redeem himself from.  Peta  I would have to be reminded a a bit, but.  Dion  Or you can find them, but it’s someone who is like 20.  Peta  I was gonna say it’s like, well in the past. And he’s been like ohh, that was bad, right? Yes, he hasn’t. He hasn’t been like, sorry if you’re offended. No. No. OK, well, then that’s like, people make mistakes when they’re young.  Speaker  Yes.  jill  He’s probably 1. Of the rare people that came away from an attempted cancelling but yeah.  Speaker  Yeah.  Quinny  Yeah, I would agree with that. Like I think he. Was able to do the the thing of going own it say yeah, that was me. That was back then. I don’t agree with this **** now. I I let my record of the last how many films I’ve made be my kind of my statement as to what kind of a person. I am now. Which I kind of agree with. I think he I think what he’s trying to say most of the time is generally the right thing Ding.  Peta  Ohh, he was he was saying stuff quite loudly this time. But Oh yeah.  Quinny  My God.  Dion  I’ve been a fan of James Gunn’s work since PG ****. Which you might. Yeah, I know. Right. People like wait. What? Yeah, he did a thing called PG **** for Spike TV. She was always great because always cut away before any of the real **** happened. It was quite great. And Nathan fillion’s. In. It if you ever wanted that. So you go look that up. Look, he’s kind of hit and miss, but you know. I like that he came from a very do-it-yourself roots sort of thing, working with chroma when he when he hits his stride really well is is in great filming. Like, you know, some of his films are are actually quite fun and exciting. And he he brings the. UMI think? Sense of joy and a bit of wonder and a bit of stupidity to kind of every single film that he’s in that he does. So yeah, I mean when this was announced that he was gonna be doing Superman or, you know, heading DC into a new direction, I was like, huh, OK can be a bit, Sammy, with your your stuff because you’ve got your formula, which works. And you you’ve been hammering out the same way for a few times, but alright, let’s let’s go see what you’re gonna do with this one. I’ll give it a go. You seem to make. Paining things which is. Exciting. And also he’s happy to. You know, as with peacemaker and suicide, the Suicide Squad. Sorry. He’s happy to to. You’d be a bit creative with what’s going on by not talking about specific characters, but by building a story around misfits and things you wouldn’t really think of. He likes the latitude, I think, rather have to go down the thing like. I mean, I wouldn’t really want to watch James Gunn’s bat.  Speaker 9  Ohh God no, no.  Dion  Was it? Yeah, it’d be a bit. It’d be a bit strange, but James Gunn’s Lobo could work. Yeah.  Quinny  No. I and I think this I think a lot of people were fairly concerned or at least trepidatious about James Gunn, Superman, because what we’ve seen him do before now has always been about. Outsiders, misfits. You know, like peacemaker, people who are not necessarily good people. You know, the the guardians of the Galaxy are all not necessarily good people. So how does how is it going to play? When he is. You know very much, looking at a paragon, you know, how do we deal with somebody who is just straight up good?  Speaker  MHM.  Quinny  You know, is he gonna be able to handle that and personally? I thought he did.  jill  Yeah. Well, I think what aided him was having a a periphery of weirdos. Yeah, yeah.  Quinny  Goofy ********.  Dion  Gotta admit, I was one of the people who was like.  Speaker  Hmm.  Speaker 5  Who is they?  jill  Yes, we all exclaimed after the movie when Dion said, who was that? Who was that? Who was that? And yeah, we said pick up.  Quinny  Yeah.  jill  A DC comic.  Peta  Book. See I’m. I’m. I’m just used to that experience so it.  Speaker  Yes. Yeah.  Peta  Doesn’t bother me. I don’t know who any of these people are. I know Luther. I know, Lois. I know Superman. Yeah, Jimmy.  Quinny  Thank you. Jimmy Olsen.  Peta  That’s.  Speaker  It.  Quinny  So. So Dion, you’ve never run across Mr. Terrific before? Nope, never run across the garden before.  Dion  Now what now?  Quinny  Who was the chick with Wings Hawk girl?  Dion  Ohh and then there was the other one that did.  jill  Come on.  Quinny  Metamorpho.  Dion  No.  Quinny  Right, I guess. Here’s here’s the thing. This is an unashamedly comic book loving movie. Yeah. And the characters that they are choosing to.  Dion  But. Knew the dog.  Quinny  Difference are not just the big triumvirate, not the what do they call them? The big three? Yeah, they’re, they’re they’re. They’re not the big three. They’re not the Justice League. This is the other guys. It’s green. Not just a Green Lantern. It’s the Green Lantern. That everybody.  Dion  Justice gang.  jill  Hates the ******* worst.  Quinny  The ******** Green Lantern with the.  Dion  Worst hair? No, that was that was the Ryan Reynolds one.  Peta  Yeah.  Quinny  It can get worse. You know it’s it’s Mr. Terrific who is, you know, the lot. People have seen him in recent years. He did show up in Arrow as a as a recurring character, but probably not in a way that people would go. Oh, there’s there’s somebody who needs to be on a big screen.  Dion  I had the same reaction when I saw polka dot man. I was like, OK, fine. But then I was watching this going I I don’t know why. Why does Superman even talk to these people? Aren’t they beneath him?  jill  Yeah.  Quinny  No, please.  Peta  Welcome to my side of the fence there.  Dion  It was weird over there.  Quinny  One thing I will say I do think the film look, I’m I’m putting my my word out there right now. I enjoyed it a lot. I thought it was a lot of fun and really, really enjoyable and hit a lot of emotional notes. But the phrase that I have used to describe it to a few people is silly. Like it is willfully silly. And occasionally goofy. And when it does, big action sequences and stuff it it really leans into this, the kind of silliness of. Ridiculous superpowers. You know you can have 100 flying jetpack goons attach themselves to Superman, and he will just spin like a a top and then they all go flying and it’s it’s cartoon world. Whereas. The the other thing is it’s silly, but at the same time it’s very grounded in its emotions.  jill  Yes, yes, I would agree with you.  Speaker 10  Yeah.  Quinny  And I remember watching it and thinking, oh, that one’s going to be that’s going to be divisive.  Dion  Like the whole thing.  Quinny  And. Yeah, the the whole film, because honestly, I think. If you.  jill  But isn’t it? Isn’t it just dividing like people with empathy and ********?  Quinny  But that’s not what I thought was gonna happen. I thought it was going to divide people into people who wanted us a a more serious take on a superhero. Ohh. OK and people.  Speaker  Oh.  Quinny  Who were just like, yeah, comic book superhero, bright colors, Superman robots, you know, crypto.  jill  Yeah, that’s what kind of makes it hard for me to recommend to people because my parents love to watch movies. They like the superhero stuff, and so my mum was like, how was Superman? I said.  Speaker 9  Ohh it was, it was fun.  jill  But at the same time, I’m thinking you’re not going to get half of the references in this film. Like it’s definitely not built for a layman. Peta  You don’t. You don’t need to get the references for it to be fun, though. I think if if you had to get the references.  jill  I feel like 75% of it is references.  Peta  For it to be fun.  Quinny  I mean. Are you? Maybe you need.  Peta  To get into the spirit of it, like I’d never heard it, I didn’t know Superman. Had the dog, but.  Speaker 11  Yeah.  Speaker 13  The Super Dog never had a crypto and never heard.  Peta  Of crypto, but I would say that that that was like the the film signalled what it was very big, very quickly from the beginning in terms of tone and kind of used crypto to do that. And and given I didn’t even watch the trailer for this, I was like, just like we’re going. To see the. New Superman Film Zero other information except for that one still that got released ages ago. I did not know what we were going internally. So so it took that for me to be like, ah, OK, this is where we are. This is what we’re expecting. That’s cool. But like, it didn’t bother me that I’ve never heard of crypto before. Didn’t bother me that I never heard of that particular version of the Green Lantern before, although the head did confuse, confuse me a lot.  Quinny  The volcano.  Peta  Well, maybe because I’m often watching these things with people who do more comics than me. I’m just very used to not getting most of the references and being like along. For the ride.  Quinny  Fair Tari in the chat, saying that the trailer makes it look serious. Yeah. Yeah, I can see that.  Peta  I mean, there’s definitely got serious elements and serious themes. It’s it’s got a serious take, but it it it has a lens of comedy that makes it. It’s very clear from the beginning and that’s what it is. I did find it totally tricky, to be honest. Like I enjoyed the silliness. I enjoyed the comedy, but. I couldn’t quite get my stride in for like. Good first half of the movie. Just totally I I I couldn’t. I couldn’t quite get my hooks into. Into. Where it was and I don’t know if it’s because it didn’t feel. Like if it was like the first episode of A. New TV series. It would have been perfect. There was just something tonally about it that didn’t that didn’t, or maybe it was structurally, that didn’t feel like cinema esque to me.  jill  There was a moment. In the first half of the film, where I did like, make a comment to myself where I was like, this doesn’t really feel like it has a lot of substance. Like it kind of struggles with the message that it wants to convey and. Being comedic like, I don’t know that any of the serious moments really. I don’t know, it held. You long enough to connect. If that makes sense.  Quinny  In in the first half or in. The whole film in.  jill  The whole film I I I there.  Quinny  Were a few moments where I I was really tuned into the series and the emotional like there are a couple of bits with his parents that I was just like, oh Jesus Christ, that that got me right in the in the fields. I.  jill  Don’t know, just some of the some of it just felt rushed. I’m like, it feels like. It’s trying to rush through. These serious beats, or these emotional moments to to get to the next comedy bit, I don’t know.  Quinny  It definitely felt like it was. It was rushing through stuff, agreed. Like there are, there are points where it sort of introduces a concept and then.  Speaker  Hmm.  Quinny  You kind of rushed through to the bit where it’s suddenly the next big. Crisis or whatever.  jill  Yeah.  Quinny  And yeah, it’s. It’s it. It feels like it’s at breakneck pace, kind of a lot of the way through.  jill  Yeah, I was tempted to actually try and catch it again before we chatted. I just to get another go at it.  Quinny  You’ve been very blocky.  Speaker 2  Hmm.  Dion  Look. I mean, I’m down for stuff. And I’m down for all of this thing. But I mean, my one take away that I had for it is ohh, it’s Superman movie. It’s not for me. Like I watched it and I was like, I was there for this. I saw all this just like, I mean, I thought there were. There were bits that that they did, which I really got and I really believed. I thought they, like, knocked it out of the park. I was like, I’m 100% here for certain things, like, certain interpersonal relationships, certain kind of scenes and ideas. I was like, that is. Like, that’s beautiful. You’ve really nailed it and it shows what you’re trying to do. And then there were other stuff there that I was like, why is this? Part. Of this, this doesn’t need to be part of this. I’m slightly confused about where this is all sitting in relation to. It seems like there was a Justice League, but there has been something that happens that has, I know, but this is I’m talking about how I interpreted stuff I was like. I feel like, oh, there was a Justice League for a while there, but now there’s not really a Justice League. But now there’s something else going on, like it was like, oh, we’re we’re going and there’s a world and it’s happening. And some things you won’t know because you haven’t. We haven’t explained, but we’re not going to. You’re just gonna move forward with this. And I was like, OK, that’s all right. I can sort of get on board with it. But it felt like I was being missing critical pieces of information. And then also like, oh, I don’t understand why these other characters are there. This seems like it’s all very haphazard. Some characters are completely underutilised.  Quinny  Examples.  Dion  Like a hot girl, I thought she was. She was pointless if you took her out. I don’t think anything would be missing. There’s no. And that’s a shame because you know, like you want every character. Yeah. Yeah. You want all that stuff to be there?  Quinny  Great actors, but also cool characters.  Dion  Yeah, and and. But to did it look cool in this? Nope. I can say distinctly that I looked at every time she was on screen. Like, ohh. It’s kind of dull. This is a bit better in Black, Adam. I know, right? OK. That was called man. Was it?  Speaker 9  That was.  Dion  One girl. Well, one of them was in. Wasn’t there a hawk girl in one or something?  Quinny  There was a hawk girl in legends of.  jill  Mine.  Quinny  Tomorrow. Sure. Yeah.  Dion  You don’t. I don’t do a lot of DC. Sorry. I wasn’t really a DC person, but I get. Some of the.  Quinny  Ideas. I realize now that I actually am more of a DPDC person than I.  Dion  I had to say.  Quinny  Thought I was.  Dion  I I was so angry when I walked out because one of the things I said quietly to Quinney was like, I’m so so pisssed off because I feel like I need to defend the Snyder verse slightly. And I was angry with my and I still am. I’m still kind of angry with this. I was like, ohh, there’s some things that Snyder verse did a lot better, but I really want to enjoy. The.  Speaker 2  Did.  Dion  This new one I just kind of went. I don’t I I don’t. You know, I think ultimately what I want is I don’t want a Superman movie with all these other people. I just want a Superman movie. Just give me Superman and Lois. And maybe legs loose or throw him in. Sure, he’s OK, but I don’t. I didn’t need the rest. Yeah, and it was.  Speaker 3  Hmm.  jill  Yeah, I will just say for the chat, those that haven’t seen it yet, we’re kind of thrown into the midst of an unfolding situation. There’s there’s not really a beginning, middle and end to it. It’s where where. Thrown into a situation. And it kind of never gets out of that for the whole film. We just always seem to be in a moment and there’s no explanation to, like, some of this stuff. And like I can. Make my way through the movie with plenty of context clues. That’s fine, but I would have loved to have had more moments completely fleshed out and.  Peta  Yeah, be a.  jill  Little bit more on. Board with what’s actually going on, especially like the relationship around Clark and his coworker. I don’t really feel like I got to see a lot of Clarke. Even Lois didn’t really feel fully formed for me and I really have one complaint about her character is that she did not do any journalism. She she was discovered some photos.  Speaker 3  Hmm.  Quinny  Yeah.  jill  By via somebody else and then was able to piece together what was actually happening. In the plot that Superman is trying to uncover. So for me, not a great lowest, even though I love Rachel Brosnahan.  Dion  It’s gonna it’s gonna make absolutely every single journalist who actually does work in research like this scream internally more.  jill  Yeah, but unfortunately I think a lot of modern journalism is just being lucky.  Quinny  Like this so.  Dion  Yeah. No, but like this, this is the thing because it’s kind of I just want to like put that out. It’s going literally. Entire crew of journalists is is together to how do they release the stories like great, we’ll do it on the fly and then they’re doing it like by editing on their. Phones and sending an e-mail and.  Quinny  No, that that is ******* great cause I actually saw a journalist say my favorite part of this movie was Jimmy Publishing the story through a CMS accurately.  Dion  Ohh. Yeah, yeah, sure. But I mean doing. It doing it while they’re running around going. Ohh yeah, it’s ready. Goes press send. Now we have to do it. I’m like.  jill  Yeah, go live.  Quinny  Yeah, yeah. And published too. Social publish.  Peta  In other news, Jimmy can get it apart.  Speaker 11  Like Oh yeah.  Quinny  Sorry.  Speaker 9  Oh.  Peta  Oh no, my. Life.  Quinny  Apparently, yeah. Jimmy lays more cable than anyone in this book. And. I don’t think anyone knows why.  Dion  Jimmy does, and Jimmy needs some.  Quinny  Yeah, Jim. Jimmy. Eat world. Ohh wow.  Dion  Jimmy. Jimmy gets it.  Quinny  Yeah, yeah, I I agree. I think like I I will come to the defense of the movie in a lot of cases because there’s a lot of it that I think is a lot of fun. And you know, the thing that I love about it is that it’s it’s it plays well to kids like the and the Minecraft.  Dion  Of movie.  Speaker  Yeah.  Quinny  But how nice is it to to see a kid wanting to play with a Superman toy as opposed to if I could Minecraft toy anyway? But yeah, like that, that stuff with the the people in the daily Planet definitely feels a bit undercooked. Like you’ve got Cat Grant there who? Is, you know there you know what she does.  jill  Yeah. And then you got. Like a couple of other random reporters, I’m like.  Quinny  You got Steve Lombardo there.  jill  Yeah, why don’t.  Quinny  Who just seems like a ********. Yeah. And they were. Yeah. I love the relationship between Lois and Clark, though. Like, yeah, like.  Speaker  Hey.  jill  Yeah, well, what was it, Clark or was? It Superman, yes.  Dion  Yeah, I it’s, I said, like I really was on board with that. I thought the dynamic between Lois and Clark or Cael, like all of that. Was great. Like I went. Yep, they’re definitely cool, funny people who are trying to work out a relationship in this world that they’ve got around them. And I really got it. And I was like hats. Off to them. Amazing. Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah. And then there was other things. Like the **** is Mr. Terrific and why does. He have balls.  Speaker 9  They’re tears, fears, tears, fears.  Speaker 12  Yeah, man. Dion  Sure. I mean, you know and it’s it would be alright? Well, like what is the engineer? Why is she dangerous? I don’t.  Speaker  Oh, I’m so I don’t know. Yeah.  jill  They told you she has nanobots.  Dion  You know bots. Yeah, but I. Mean **** that. I mean, there are some. There are some annoying things about comic book movies because you know what? We were all annoyed by the giant sky beam and this one, thankfully, just let you all know there is no giant sky beam, no sky beam. There’s a giant.  jill  There is an underground Fight Club.  Dion  Yes, and the giant. And there’s a giant. There’s a giant crack.  Peta  Yeah.  Dion  Which is the same thing as the giant sky, but it has the same yeah.  Quinny  It’s the exact opposite, in fact.  Peta  It’s a giant wall destroying rift. Yeah, yeah, yeah.  Dion  And it’s made of bismuth. Yeah. What the **** is going on with that? It was just.  jill  Yeah.  Dion  Yes, and as until a joke that came later, which was? Oh, yes. Lex Luthor was just a businessman.  Speaker  No.  Dion  Gone. No, exactly. For people going the the the, the, the, the big Destructo thing that whatever is happening, it looks like it’s just macro views of bismuth for me.  jill  Yeah. Do we like Nicholas? Holt’s performance as like we thought.  Peta  I always like Nicholas Holt, so I’m I I I I can’t have that conversation.  Dion  Why not? He got paid $2,000,000. For this film.  Peta  Good for him. Is that all?  Dion  Yes, but do you know how much Superman got paid? The same as Lois, but less, but much less.  jill  A million million.  Dion  700 they 7 they got.  jill  Ohh really? He got the he got the pretty privilege he got. Ohh.  Dion  750 tags each. Yeah, but they also both within written into it that they they had a lower fee because they have a back end deal. So they’ve got.  jill  I want a back end deal please.  Dion  With who? With Nicholas Holt or with?  jill  No. Yeah, with my new boyfriend.  Dion  Torn to it.  Quinny  I love it. You, you ladies, you can. You can divide them up, Pete. You can have Nicholas Holt. Jill, you can have David Corus wet. I’ll take crypto, apparently.  jill  No.  Quinny  And I will pat him, I will pat him and love him and call him George.  Speaker 9  Yes.  Dion  Great. So it just leaves me with the Lois and I haven’t even watched the fabulous Mrs. Maisel.  Peta  Marvel, marvelous.  Speaker 5  See. Marvelous.  Peta  That did distract me because I didn’t realise she was lost because, as I said, I hadn’t looked into the movie at all and just the entire time my brain was like. But it’s the marvelous missus.  Quinny  That would be.  jill  Wow.  Peta  Not Louis.  Dion  Yes, yes.  Quinny  Yeah, you, you get #5 or as he’s better known, Gary.  Dion  Yeah. No, like 100% if I got to hang out with Alan Tudyk for the rest of my life, I would be down for that. I’d be like, yes, please give me.  Quinny  Mm-hmm.  Dion  Screen robot voice.  Quinny  Man, I did. I did love it. I looked up who the other.  Dion  He’s a very funny man.  Quinny  Voices of the robots.  Speaker 9  Ohh.  Quinny  Are. Yeah. So Superman robot number one is Michael Rooker.  Speaker 9  Oh, I was. Wondering why he was credited on who was he?  Quinny  Yep, and Superman robot #5IS. Pom clementia? Yeah. There’s, like, there are a bunch of little things in there, like, you know.  jill  Ah, nice. Just James Gunn’s friends.  Quinny  Yeah, James Gunn’s friends like Bradley Cooper gets to look in.  Speaker 9  So, so shocked to see.  jill  Bradley deal was so shocked that he didn’t. He convinced himself it wasn’t Bradley Cooper.  Speaker  Yeah.  Quinny  I don’t think anyone.  Dion  Yeah, I thought it was to start with. I’m like ohh, that’s funny. And then later I’m like, no, that’s not him. No, it wasn’t him, right? It was someone else.  Quinny  One of my favorite stupid and and something OK, something that probably should be said if you love the 1978 movies like so Superman, Superman 2. Hmm. This has got a lot of love for those films, and that particular kind of style.  Dion  I I feel it’s got more in common with Superman 3 onwards.  Quinny  That two it has a bit of three and four in there as well. In fact, it’s got.  Dion  But I mean. Superman. Superman. A lot of Superman 4. Yeah, I mean, like I like Superman 1. I do not find that this is the same as Superman 1 because it had the stupidity of Superman 2 when he throws his *******. Symbol that wraps like. That’s the kind of somewhat stupid ideas that come out. You’re like, oh, bold choice, but I guess. I feel like that’s OK.  Quinny  Yeah. Like I I think this has got more in common with the the funny parts of Superman 1, like the the Lex Luthor and Otis and Miss Tessmacher, and then stuff like that. Yeah. You know, those kind of elements of Superman 1 and yeah, a lot of Superman four. I was actually really shocked at how much.  Dion  Yeah.  Quinny  Referencing there was to Superman 4, which is make no mistake, the worst of those Mens sure super men super anyway, but my favorite is there’s a character in there who’s Lex, who’s main thug character by the name of. Otis. So Otis, of course, being from the old films. But this new character is called Otis Berg, and that’s the name of the country that Otis wanted to have for himself in the. 78. I’m going to. Mr. Luthor, I’m going to have a place and. It’s gonna be called Eldersburg.  Dion  I mean, look, also I want to I want to put it because a few people in the chat haven’t watched it yet, which is fine. Yeah. It’s OK. There was a lot of dog in this. Like, I mean there’s there’s so much. There’s almost too much dog. I know.  Speaker 9  There’s a lot of dog, it’s got.  jill  The dog in it. Oh, come on.  Speaker 5  See look you.  Dion  Know look at this this whole thing. These were divisive.  jill  What are you, a cat person?  Dion  No, I.  Speaker 3  Yes.  Speaker 5  No, I’m a dog person, but I thought in this there was like there is a little bit too much dog.  Dion  In this and also the dog. Anyway, I can’t explain like the whole thing is I can’t say I I watched it and by the end I’m like it’s not really for me. I don’t. I don’t really, I’m not.  Speaker 5  Sure, I’m down.  Dion  For this, but I want to be is that does that? Does that make sense?  Quinny  You you went in?  Speaker 9  Of course, yeah.  Dion  I went in hoping that this would be kind of for me, you know, like ohh. Great. Maybe this will be a new Ave. to get into the DC cinematic world that they’re probably building and stuff like there’d be something to get and there’s like.  Speaker 5  Oh, I feel like this is absolutely not.  Dion  My kind of jam, but I hope it will.  Speaker  Me.  Dion  I I just wanted to see a movie about soup. Men. Not Superman. Conflicted ideologies of other stuff that people maybe are doing at him or or all this other stuff. And they’re very over complicated **** like, you know, ultimately at the heart, Lex Luthor is still the same. Thing that he was in the original. Gene Hackman dies.  Speaker 11  Yeah, I really think, yeah.  jill  I feel like Nicholas Holt was really channelling Gene Hackman, to be honest.  Quinny  Oh yeah, yeah, big.  Peta  You don’t feel more topical?  Quinny  Though ohh yeah. Yeah.  jill  I’m gonna say Superman has always been this topical.  Speaker 5  Oh yeah.  Peta  But in in terms of that particular character now feels particularly topical.  Speaker 3  Mm-hmm.  jill  I think, well, I think that they’ve just updated it to more modern things and I’m going to say stuff like social media and trolling and that kind of stuff. Because there’s, like a great gag throughout the the film about Superman not reading the comments.  Speaker 9  Because it’s just.  Speaker 3  Yeah.  jill  Just hateful. And then we find out later who is writing those comments. Which is quite humorous, but. It’s. Yeah, I think it’s always had that theme.  Peta  Yeah, I’m and I’m, I’m glad. I’m glad that. Ohh well, I was talking about Luther specifically as a specific character being a billionaire tech bro megalomaniac that.  Quinny  You’re you’re talking about Luther.  Peta  Actually, you know, literally trying to take over the world by helping to engage small countries.  Quinny  Yeah.  jill  I mean, I saw a really great headline that just said Superman is not work, it’s just we have real life super villains now. So that’s why it is so relatable. Yeah.  Peta  Yeah. But you’re right. I mean, all of these things have always had messages. So I was glad in this case that there was like strong messaging within the plot and within. Each of the characters. So even when I wasn’t quite catching up with the tone or like you said you, you kind of do get kind of thrown into the middle of the story and maybe that’s why I didn’t feel like I would catch up. There’s definitely not an origin story. But even when I, you know, was kind of like.  Speaker  Hmm.  Peta  I’m still not sure I’m feeling what this is. I was kind of appreciating that it was staying true to the genre in terms of its. In in in terms of its messaging and how topical it was being.  Quinny  Yeah. Look, I I’m a big fan of the fact that it it it didn’t stutter like when it’s saying hey, you know countries invading other countries as far and you know a fairly thinly. Veiled, like OK, completely thinly veiled thing saying, hey, this country that looks an awful lot like Israel this country. That looks an. Awful lot like Palestine. Yeah. This is a ****** situation. Wouldn’t it be nice if somebody could just, you know, go in and give the middle finger to? You know, literally the middle finger to an oppressive regime, you know, like. I can see where people are jumping around saying it’s woke. Absa, ******* lutely. It’s. It makes no bones about where it’s politics. Like, yeah.  Dion  The only problem is it’s like, that’s just, you know, the group of people who are complaining about this sort of stuff. I feel like, well, you’re the sort of people who, like, say that the Punisher is part of the police force. Like you just you’re not, actually.  Speaker 3  Hmm.  jill  Yeah, they don’t understand it like Superman has been woke since 1938, when he was created like, yeah.  Dion  Yeah, well, the 50s after the Japanese thing, but we won’t go there. Yeah.  Quinny  He was he was fighting the Klan in 1940.  Dion  True, true, you know. But there was a bit of problematic World War 2 stuff. So, but you know, hey. You can’t win them all, but yeah, look, it is a whole thing that. This is someone who’s trying to fight for the underdog, for the little guy to stand up to, to face down bullies and all that sort of stuff. And what happens when the bullies are the ones that are kind of running stuff. You know, then you can’t be surprised. I was like, ohh. Maybe we’re the bad guys like. Yes. That’s what we’re telling you. We’re actually telling you you’re doing **** things and stop it, because that’s not what we want to be.  Speaker 2  Yeah.  jill  That’s the part of this movie that, like, struck me the hardest was when, you know, bullies pile on when the heroes down like Superman has a moment where, you know the press and online is picking him apart and then that’s when you know, people decide to strike you when.  Speaker 3  Hmm.  jill  You’re at your week. Just and have made no secret about having endured bullying through high school, so it was a very resounding moment for me. I ******* hated it, but. Yeah, I think it’s still important to include stuff like that. Yeah. Yeah, it was a hard watch.  Dion  So this is what I say. Like when, when, what, when I was watching it and like some of the stuff it when it hits it. It hits. Really, really well and that’s.  jill  Yeah. Very yeah. Poignant stuff.  Dion  Yeah. And then, you know, other times it’ll go from that though, to a scene of a, an entire building collapsing over a particular thing. Or, you know, the fictional idea that Metropolis can be evacuated in about 20 minutes.  Peta  Yeah. I mean, suspension of disbelief. Dion, come.  Speaker 11  What the ****? On.  Dion  Excuse me. What? I I’m a logistics based person and even I know you can’t evacuate patrol. I mean Gotham. Different story. We can get people out, no problem. It’s basically Islam.  Peta  Yeah.  Quinny  What I did enjoy about that that sequence, though, was the difference between. Something like that sequence and Man of Steel where you’ve got like a Superman.  Peta  Which is why I did not like Man of Steel. I was like, I know nothing about Superman, but this don’t feel right.  Quinny  Like just having a a running battle through the streets and smashing through.  Peta  Just shocking a guy through buildings like just the entire battle was him throwing that guy through buildings that had people in them.  Quinny  There’s no. Yeah, yeah. And then at the end of it killing. You know which like is is one of those things that is just like ohh. Whereas in this one.  jill  Yeah, that lost me when he killed Zod. That lost me. I’m like, this is not.  Quinny  Superman. Yeah. And. And OK. He couldn’t. He couldn’t do it any other way. Yeah, he can. He’s Superman. And I love this one for, like, all of those moments where he’s like somebody, you know, does something to the Kaiju and he’s like, come on, man. I was going to put that in a. Like a space prison thing or.  Speaker  Whatever.  Speaker 9  Yeah, and like Superman does have his his little space zoo, like with all his funny little creatures.  Quinny  Yeah. Yeah. Exactly like. But I think to to make him and the the the level of good these and that that altruism where he will save a squirrel where he will, you know try and get a dog out of the way to keep it from being you know hurt whatever to make him work. You kind of have to place him in this almost silly space.  Speaker 13  Please.  Quinny  Like you know, this is this is a Superman who goes and talks to his funny robots and can fly into the heart of a black black hole like this. This is very, very much Frank quietly, kind of All Star Superman, which is, you know, really kind of leaning in on the Silver Age, the. The really kind of over the top stuff. But to do that, that’s why you can have him be so good. But then they ground that I I personally thought it was a ******* incredible kind of balancing act where they allowed him to be, you know, cartoonishly lovely.  Dion  Yeah.  Quinny  But then would ground it with something like when the the mayor and Par Kent first showed up. I was like, holy ****, this is a bit much, isn’t it? Like, you know.  jill  They were really giving adventures of Superman, Marion. Park Kent to be on.  Quinny  Hmm, yeah. But then by the end of it, I was like ohh, I’m fully invested in these sweet, lovely people.  Dion  Yeah. What do you mean? They’re just regular folk?  jill  Yeah, exactly.  Dion  Who were just trying to be good and try to like to think they’re not like Kevin Costner’s saying. No, no, don’t sacrifice it like I wouldn’t. I was.  Peta  Ohh ****.  jill  That movie just reminding me how much I ******* hated Man of Steel.  Quinny  Yeah. No, no. I don’t save me. Don’t reveal your secret. Oh, and by the way, maybe you should have let some.  Dion  No.  Quinny  Kids, kids die.  Dion  Yeah. Yeah, because that’s that’s how you get a Superman that kills people. Rather than this one.  Speaker 11  Anyway.  Dion  It’s like you raised me to be good, and then I found out that I wasn’t supposed to be good. Ohh, but no, I I’m still gonna be good.  jill  Hang on. All right. Any final thoughts before we rate?  Dion  Uh, no.  Quinny  I think I just waxed a little too lyrical then so I I think I’ve said as much as. I need to.  Dion  Great. OK.  Quinny  Clip.  Dion  Yes. Clip then right, mainly because it’s very late. Well done. Good call, Jill, I could join me to start the the clip then. Right. You want to go clip then? Right. Which one? Which one do you want? The you get out of here or the dog? The dog. Do you want to see the dog?  Speaker 2  Yes.  Speaker 9  It’s good for you. Dog. Dog. Ohh.  Speaker 10  So.  Quinny  What is this? Crypto.  Speaker 2  What the hey, dude, I I thought you destroyed the whole Superman robots. I thought I told you to keep an eye on him.  Speaker 10  We feed the canine, but he is unruly and he realizes we are not flesh and blood and couldn’t in our heart of hearts care less whether he lives or. Dies.  Speaker  Don’t eat it.  Speaker 13  Out, out, stop out. Stop. Crypto out. Out. Stop it. Stop, sit, sit, stay.  Dion  Oh, there we go. Yes, the very bad dog who is a good dog but a bad dog. Unless before dog. Yes, trying. Is James going trying to make us all Crypto Bros? OK, ratings hit the ratings. Go on.  Speaker 13  Kneel before dog.  Quinny  Oh.  Speaker  Oh.  Quinny  Rohan, didn’t it?  jill  I wanted to like it more than I did. I really, really wanted to like it more. Than I did.  Speaker 9  Oh, ****. You’re going to be harsh. I’m going to give it.  jill  A 65.  Speaker  Cool.  Speaker 9  Chill. I still.  jill  Had enjoyable moments. But there’s just something about it that didn’t click for me. I don’t ******* know what it was. I mean, I touched on some of the the moments a lot of out of context stuff, just not enough fleshing out of some characters. Like maybe it was doing too much. I.  Speaker 12  Hmm.  Dion  This is so strange.  jill  Don’t know.  Dion  It’s so strange because I was heading towards 60. I’m gonna give it 60. I know, right? I was heading towards 60, which I thought was like rough, but I was like, ohh true. Yeah, that’s the thing like.  Speaker 11  But. I liked it. I had fun it.  Speaker 9  Was just just.  jill  Not enough that did it. For me, yeah, that’s right. Can.  Dion  I go not for me. Like, you know, like.  jill  Even those beautiful dimples.  Dion  I don’t remember. I don’t remember that character.  Quinny  Yeah, beautiful dimples.  Dion  I feel like it’s a song like if. If I were to separate everything out and perhaps put it in a different context, I would enjoy each of those bits more. But yeah, together I just. I was like, oh, it was entertaining. But did I have a good time? With it I’m like fine. You know. If they announce Superman 2 tomorrow, would I be rushing out to see? I’m like depends. It’s gonna be more the same same. Anyway, there I did 60. That’s fine.  Quinny  Pete, where you got with it?  Peta  I’m not gonna. I’m gonna be a little bit kinder to it because, like, I’m genuinely so used to not knowing what’s going on or who anyone is that none of that stuff actually bothered me, and partly because I I appreciate the the messaging that it was going for, and there were lots of bits that I did appreciate, but. I just structurally totally couldn’t quite get my hooks in. To it, but it’s not to say that I wouldn’t recommend it. I still think it’s an entertaining film, so I’m just gonna say 70.  jill  Yeah, I agree with Brent. In the chat. They said it feel like it needs a second viewing to appreciate. And I did kind of want to see it again before we did this show, but didn’t get time. I do wanna watch it again.  Quinny  Hmm.  Speaker 2  Yeah.  Quinny  Yeah, I I do really want to begin.  Peta  And also need to see it twice to make it good. Probably like isn’t like yeah positive rating.  Speaker 11  I think.  Speaker 9  Yeah, yeah, yeah.  jill  So for now, 65 still sticks, yeah.  Speaker  Yeah.  Quinny  Look, I was talking to other person who saw it and had had a conversation online and they gave it a rating, but the.  Speaker 12  Was it a?  Dion  Is that a monkey?  Quinny  Yeah, yeah, yeah. The monkey called Waterworth, but he made a really interesting point, which is the film itself. And the way the film is made. Has some goofy moments, and like there are bits that don’t work, and it’s kind of clunky, and there are sequences that feel rushed and there are characters that feel underused and everything. So the film itself, I said, he said I’d break that about a 60. 5. But. The feeling that I got from it. Was much higher, you know, and there are moments that it hit its stride where you see, like, you know, the the there’s a moment where the the building comes crashing down and it’s just dust. And. You see the the silhouette of Superman rising above it, and I was like, oh **** me. That’s a beautiful shot. You know, and there were moments where he was talking to Luthor, where I was like, God, that’s a ******* rip. A piece of writing. And, you know, there were all these moments throughout that that made me feel a lot. Different about the film and. That’s the thing. Like I remember watching it going. People are gonna be really torn over this one. Turns out they weren’t. It’s made of ****** out of money. But. I think I was also looking at myself going I’m torn on this film like I can see that there are lots of bits that don’t work particularly well, but I’m having a ******* great time. And when it does it, it does it beautifully. So for me, somewhere around that 80 mark.  Speaker 11  Quinny  Like I’ve I’ve really enjoyed it. I think the. Like. It’s not hitting the ******* heights of of Logan, you know, it’s.  jill  Yeah. Didn’t blow my ****.  Speaker 12  Off Peter, how how are your tints? Are they still? Sorry.  Quinny  I am.  Peta  That’s the new rating system.  Dion  2020 I can mine are here still.  Quinny  So mine is still.  Speaker 12  My might.  Quinny  Might have gone.  jill  From now on I’m just writing 1-2 or zero like. That’s how many tips are left.  Dion  No.  Quinny  How they treat you? I like that we’ve been doing this for this many years and. We’ve only now come. To a rating.  Speaker 13  System the perfect all.  Dion  Agree on a perfect natural rating system.  jill  Renaming to the periodic tides of awesome.  Quinny  Wow.  Dion  You heard it here first. In this ultra wide for truth, justice, and. The tight way. How do we get here? Sorry, Kenny, you were talking very earnestly about lucky Superman and now.  Speaker  We’re talking about.  Quinny  No, I’m. I’m all down for.  Speaker 11  I said bring us back to reality.  Quinny  I I think I think I’ve said quite a lot. I talked about this on ABC Radio. I’ve I’ve, yeah, I’ve kind of kind of said my piece on this whole thing.  Dion  You did.  Speaker 5  Like Will, will.  Dion  I watch this Superman in another film or a a successive sequel. Yeah, I will. Like, I’ll come back and give it another go, but I really hope I get to see more. Uh. About like I, I would enjoy watching this Superman interact with other people, but I really just want to see a movie about Superman.  jill  I wanna see this Superman with a with with our touch, Batman.  Quinny  Our pet.  Dion  Our parts.  Quinny  That would be the most astonishing tonal whiplash.  jill  Yeah. It’s gonna be like gloomy boy and sunshine boyfriend. It’s gonna.  Dion  Well, we already know that Lobos Green Litton going ahead. So yeah, this Superman and.  jill  Be so great. Ohh God, just imagining a hot mess from Lobo.  Quinny  I mean. Yeah, but I’m also. There’s a part of me that kind of feels like that’s what Lobo needs to be. But also, I’m not sure he’s, like, getting his own film. I know he’s in Supergirl, but you know.  Dion  Well, who knows, I mean. Wait, we’re in spoiler section yet.  Quinny  I was gonna say should we move into spoiler section just briefly.  Dion  So that does mean changing the bulb. Yes, yes. It’s up now, OK. Right. So. How do we feel about that? And?  Quinny  So.  jill  Yeah, escape the chat if you don’t want spoilers.  Speaker  Quinny  True. Yeah. Yeah. Now, now is your time to exit and.  Dion  We don’t. We’re getting anything. This is what happens with all these films nowadays. It’s like well. You’ve just enjoyed that movie. I know we’re gonna do a.  Speaker 5  Little bit of taste or maybe something?  Quinny  Else you know, I like the fact that they chose not to to follow the forgotten the the way of Marvel doing it. Of yeah, doing it as a post credit sequence or anything, it was like. No, no, we’re gonna put it in the act. So.  Dion  Yeah, fair enough.  Quinny  Yep, thought that was nice. So yes, to anyone who hasn’t ******** off yet. Yeah. What did we think of Australia’s own Milly Alcock as the Super Party girl?  Speaker 9  Yeah, I was surprised to.  jill  See Supergirl appear in the movie I. One thing that escaped me before watching this, but.  Dion  It’s a. It’s a. It’s a bold.  jill  I kind of liked it.  Dion  Choice to introduce that character in that particular way.  Speaker 11  Yeah, I kind of liked.  jill  A A party girl? Supergirl.  Dion  Only cause she was going to a planet with a red sun.  Quinny  So she could get.  Speaker 11  You ****** **.  Speaker 5  But how did she get off the planet?  Quinny  The red well.  jill  Spaceship.  Speaker 13  Yeah.  Quinny  Just cause she she she’s red sun so she can get drunk. But I’m guessing that.  Dion  Too too many Buckleys aren’t there.  Quinny  Maybe she could still fly. Yeah, so interesting idea that I’ve they’ve said that a lot of the Supergirl film is gonna be vaguely based on the Supergirl woman of tomorrow. I think it’s called OK, which is an interesting idea that Supergirl. Unlike Superman, who came as a baby.  Speaker 3  MHM.  Quinny  And therefore, you know it has been raised by lovely parents and stuff like that. Supergirl is dealing with some pretty ******* serious promo.  jill  Yeah.  Quinny  She, you know, saw her family and planet. Die has seen everybody that she knows and loves die. And you know, then spent. God only knows how long in a, you know, intergalactic tube.  Speaker 2  MHM.  Quinny  And yeah, is having not a great time of it and suddenly doesn’t really know how to cope with, you know, superpowers and **** like that. Meanwhile, you got Clarke, who has been growing up with this, so it has a much better grounded understanding of it. I like that idea.  jill  Yeah, I would watch it. Yep.  Dion  And see, that’s a really interesting thing because you got that whole Superman movie with all those other characters and the different things that went on, and yet you’ve built the little world around that. See, This is why I kind of went like ohh Superman. I’m not sure about that movie. Why couldn’t have just been about Superman? Doesn’t he have his own trauma? Wasn’t all of his own traumas enough? You know, having to deal with? He didn’t need everyone else’s. Stuff. Yeah. Does that make sense?  Quinny  I think so, yeah.  Dion  Try not to discredit it.  Quinny  OK, so one of the big things that. Jimmy’z sexual prowess is what saves the day.  jill  Yeah.  Dion  No, but also.  Peta  But also Jimmy’z willingness to, like, use a woman.  Dion  I know, I know. Right. Like, you know, jimmy’z terrible ****, boy. Attitude saves the day.  Peta  Information.  Dion  Conflicting maybe?  jill  I think you’re missing the real hero of the story, and that’s Eve, Tess Markham.  Quinny  1000 percent 1000.  jill  Sure, she’s the one that took all of those photos with all of the crucial information. Mm-hmm.  Dion  Are you saying that selfies and influences do serve a purpose in life?  jill  Yeah, I wanna see the movie with Eve Tessmacher and Madison from Marvel.  Speaker 12  ohh  Dion  Talk about crisis on infinite Earths.  Quinny  I I do love that Miss Tessmacher is actually the person who has saved. Men, both films, she’s also the one that saves him in the 1970.  Dion  Well, yeah. There’s a nice little.  Quinny  8 film.  Dion

In the first episode of Casual Chats of 2025, Patricia and Arun discuss about the 1999 TV movie Wakko's Wish based on the 1993 animated series Animaniacs. In a small town called Warnerstock, people were living in peace, happiness, and harmony. But then the kingdom of Ticktockia took over Warnerstock and the king is taxing the people to the point of living in disarray, despair, and poverty. Yakko, Wakko, and Dot are orphans who are struggling to survive in the cold weather in an abandoned orphanage. Dot is sick and needs an operation, so Wakko leaves for a year to make money for her needs. He comes back with a haypenny, but is taxed by the king's men and is left poor again. Wakko makes a wish on a star and is told by an angel that he needs to touch the star that fell hundreds of miles away to have his wish comes true. Now, everyone in the town knows about the star and rushes towards it to have their wish come true. When it was released direct to video, it received positive reviews from critics and fans praising the music, animation, voice acting, and story. It would be the final Animaniacs project released until the 2020 revival on Hulu. How well does Wakko's Wish hold up 25 years later?

The very talented actor, comedian, and voice performer John Campiano has played a part in a lot of your favorites, from Married with Children and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia to Fallout 4 and Baldur's Gate. But one of his most recognizable performances is as Bobby the pigeon in Steven Spielberg's oddly raunchy '90s cartoon series Animaniacs. Bobby was the leader of the Goodfeathers, a trio of birds who sound a lot like the lead characters of Martin Scorsese's Goodfellas. John joins us to talk about working on Animaniacs, meeting Spielberg, and hearing what Martin Scorsese himself thought of the recurring bits on Animaniacs. John is also a talented artist who illustrated a ton of the original Garbage Pail Kids cards all us '80s kids loved even if our parents hated them. We talk about that, his youth in New York and experiences seeing grindhouse movies firsthand, and the impact Spielberg had on him long before he got to creatively collaborate with him on Animaniacs.
