Good afternoon Rod, Karen and Esteemed Guests,
I hope y’all are well on this Olympic, Wolverine and Deadpool Day!
I finally finished Star Trek Discovery and I can only say that I was amazed! Soniequa Martin Green was phenomenal as Captain Michael Burham for the past 5 seasons and shout out to Paramount for allowing us to get our Trekkie life out here in these Nerd streets. Also, shout out to Rod’s running joke of that negro that married Soniequa Martin Green! I just finished the first season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and acting and writing eats down!!! While I am starting Season 2 of Strange New Worlds, I am working on Supacell – I’m on episode 3 and Suicide Squad: Isekai. Love Supacell and you were right Rod, the gangsters are too cute, even though they are going to stab me with all the seriousness in the world, I would still have a smile on my face. Also Suicide Squad is hysterical and overall great….shout out to Witt Studios for the animation.
Now, may I have a moment of silence as Comicon is currently happening now and I am not there and I cannot go to Galaxycon this weekend in Raleigh. I guess I will catch the highlight reels on IG and pout at the same time.
Thank you again Rod, Karen and esteemed guests for letting me live long and prosper and pout at the same time, LOL!
Love,
MizzBarnes
Hello Rod, Karen & guests. I’m going to leave any takes of Deadpool & Wolverine at the door & just say I enjoyed it. Now, I gotta talk to y’all about a third-party game on Xbox Game Pass in Kunitsu-Gami, which is an action-strategy game set in Japan, with a female protagonist tasked with trying to save people from these enemies called Seekers. Seekers invade the land to destroy & terrorize citizens & lands. It’s very good. The strategy aspect works well enough. Slashing is good, too. Very rewarding, as you hire people to rebuild lands & fight with you. I even got back into Forza Motorsport &, uh, yeah, everything y’all said about not crashing into shit (it has a damn penalty system). Forgot how good it was. Vampire Survivors is another I got back into. That also is still dope & addicting. Still can’t beat death & get to minute 31 for shit, tho.
That’s all I got. Take care.
Good evening Mrs Karen and brother Roderick,
I’m just sitting here with the wife watching movies and she asks me; “who are my top 5 impossible white men movie actors”. The question had me stumped, but I came up with; Tom cruise, Sly Stallone, Angelina Jolie, Bruce Willis, and Arnold.
Anyway she wanted me to ask what would you guys pick, if y’all don’t mind?
Thanks for all the great content! This is literally the 1st podcast I ever listened to around 10 years ago at this point, and it’s still the best.
Love y’all & stay hydrated!
Donald
Salutations Nerds of The Realm,
I think it’s dark funny how the kids watching “Jediganda” today in Young Jedi Adventures would grow up to see The Acolyte in the future and be like wtf is happening to me and my emotions hahaha (my kid is one of them).
Karen, I look forward to hearing more of your Dr. Who journey. Episode 6 “Dot & Bubble ” is one that I would recommend trying to get Rod to watch with you. Rod you have described that scenario on the regular podcast a few times.
Shout-out to the team and cast of Sweet Tooth. It was a beautiful finale to the story. I love the kids on that show.
Finally, Marvel dropped two trailers (Agatha All Along & Captain America Brave New ) and just like that, Marvel is back was everywhere. These are truly intriguing times!
Shout out to Rod and Karen for all yall do. After watching the Acolyte so far it has completely changed my view on the Jedi henceforth. The Jedi are like AAU coaches for 5-year-olds. Let’s be real the Jedi steal kids from their family never to see them again just because they are skilled in the force. Can’t they do like a Jedi summer camp rather than snatching them from their family forever. Sol is the absolute worst and all the Jedi in Acolyte seem kinda weak. Also, Luke and Vader have proven you don’t need to study in the force since a baby to become a powerful force user whether Jedi or Sith. I think people loved Luke in the originals cus he truly wasn’t a traditionally trained Jedi and didn’t have some of their asinine dogmatic beliefs. Was order 66 that bad when you think of it now. Just wanted to rant and get that out because I’ve enjoyed the show but wonder what did they want me to feel about the Jedi after watching it?
Peace
Jerome aka Romey
Karen’s response to the ZSJL release was perfect, “What the flop? Who’s gonna watch that?”
