Yall clock AA-TRON 😂

Yes omg Hemsworth was wrong casting otherwise loved the movie Hella cool animation

I agree with what y'all are saying. As much as I love both the Nolan movies and the Matt Reaves stuff, I am ready to see the full DC universe characters and their interactions. After watching the animated stuff like the DCAMU or Young Justice, there is a massive library of characters we have never seen in live action movies.

Oswald Cobblepot sounds like a hobbit name 😂👍

Worst takes long long time I know comic tv and film definitely stop telling filmmaker do just bro

Thanks to Adam, Hector and Agustin! 🐧 As far as grounded takes on superheroes... not everything is for everyone. I appreciate both the fantastic as well as the realistic. If THE BATMAN (2022) and THE PENGUIN (2024) aren't for you, that's fine. But understand it does fill a niche. Many will adore it. 🔸 Since y'all mentioned James Earl Jones... if anyone hasn't seen him in FIELD OF DREAMS (1989), make a point of doing so. While many nerds wrote it off as a sports movie, it's not really. Baseball is a backdrop, but it's about people and has a strong fantasy element that most respond to. Watch it to commemorate Mr. Jones. ✨

These type of topics always remind me of watching Superman Returns with Brandon Routh, in theaters. When the bullet shatters as it hits Superman’s eye, the stranger next to me said “yeah right”. So a humanoid alien with super powers is believable…. But bullet in the eye??? Let’s pump the breaks. 😂😂😂

Agree with Agustin. The sincerity and effort Matt Reeves puts in is all that matters. The worst thing to happen to Comic Book movies has been directors for hire imo. If directors have vision and sincerity, then that's what I want to see as opposed to just "faithful" adaptations.

I don't care about Batman being on the Justice League. I honestly just want to see Clayface, Hugo Strange's Monster Men and Man-bat, and a Sad Man Mr. Freeze.

The first two episodes of Agatha All Along is how you elevate comic book stories right. I don’t know if Agatha will stick the landing, but the debut is one of the craziest things that Marvel has done and it’s basically more of an witch story than a Marvel one that I’m absolute stunned Jac Schaeffer pulled it off. I’m open to The Penguin, but I cannot stand grounded takes of superheroes either. FWIW, I’m giving The Penguin a shot, but I will never watch Joker 2 just like I don’t see Sony’s Spider-Man villain films.

@5:00 Elon Musk sounds like the name of a futuristic deodorant 🤔😂

You've kinda missed the point of Batman if you say "I'm tired of the grounded takes on superheroes" ... Sure, maybe with other superheroes, but Batman was designed in response to Superman to make a grounded superhero. That's what sets him apart. That's why he doesn't have any powers. So comparing it to the Infinity Saga like you did is silly because Batman isn't supposed to be like those characters. The whole point of him is that he is a more grounded superhero. That's why he's so successful, is that people can buy it and relate to it. Also, the very act of taking a comic book and adapting it to live action is inherently trying to take a drawing and make it real. And I'm sorry, but if you compare The Batman and Infinity War, one is actually a great movie, and the other is just a bunch of gobbledygook for children. Guys flying around and fighting each other with their magical powers is just noise and it's boring. I don't care about Thanos because I can't take a big purple alien that looks that stupid seriously. But when you have this broken character that you ground in a detective story about having to take the law into your own hands because of corruption, and get into real looking fights that have a sense of danger and weight, I can buy into that and engage with that. Zack Snyder gave you your fantasy Batman and it sucked, I'm sorry.

I re-listened to this last night and you guys have inspired me to watch the Disney animation movies in order. Just finished Snow White and now I’m watching Pinocchio.♥️ I’m looking forward to the nostalgia and appreciating the advancements in animation. A re-release of Snow White was actually the first movie that I watched in the theaters, as a kid.

hahaha yea the AR tech on the Mario kart ride was distracting. When I went on the ride it broken down at the big cloud blowing wind. 😂😂 I wasn't ready for all that!

Howard Shore snags my heart with that LOTR score 💚💚💚 Danny Elfman is my favorite composer but HS brings me to TEARS with how gorgeous his LOTR music is...when I hear the shire motif, I cry - it's the warmest hug and sweetest/bittersweet reminder of home and heart and self.

I thought this was a Alien rolumus review and I get Star Wars stuff I had to skip over at the beginning. 😂

Beetlejuice discussion starts around 30:00

Linkin Park in the top 5? 🤣 These cats.

Just catching up after watching Romulus. Really great point about star wars fanbase being racist and bigoted in the beggining. Massive issue and company really does not protect people as they should. Marketing should cover that much better.

18:30

Oh, maybe somehow make an Edgar Wright land.

Wait, 1995 and 1997 was 30 years ago... oh that's right, I am turning 50 in a couple years.

Wasn’t expecting so much score chat and I’m loving it. Shout out to one of my favorites, James Newton Howard

Yall made me feel cool with that ipod talk and I'm A NERD. Lmao love it.

Hell yeah The Strokes mentioned 🤘🏽

Agustin, the rumor for the Simpsons replacement is exactly Pokemon, at least here in Orlando. Hector, the Demon Slayer stuff in Japan is actually a temporary seasonal thing and they have done various anime and video game franchises.

Loving all the conversations about music. I’m here for ALL of it.

Isabela Merced is going to be Dina in The Last of Us season 2 who is one of my favorite characters in the game!

Man when Hector was responding to B2 all I could hear was the ether instrumental, so I played it alongside him Damn Hector you’re a star

Universal is coming out with Epic too

I loved the characters and the acting in The Acolyte, but the "mystery" didn't really feel like a mystery at all - maybe my expectations were wrong as to what the series was going to be. But it's the first SW Disney+ show that I kind of forgot was going on - so instead of basically watching every episode the second they were released I was reminded every week and went "oh yeah, that show has a new episode out". Maybe I'm just not the target age, or there actually was something off with the writing and structure of the show. All that to say, it's a shame they didn't get a second season - because more Star Wars (even if it isn't for me) is a positive, since it's somebody's favorite Star Wars and what gets them into it.

Should create the Marvel viewing guide sheet by committee between the three of you.

Call you I don't watch star War show I game of thrones prugel bob he tone deaf Hector

I’ve been meaning to get the box set to update my collection, which version did they say was the better one to get?

25:22 Love this breakdown and response to this comment Hector!

Some great points made here about The Acolyte, and I'm glad you all enjoyed the show, but I think you were too dismissive of the viewership it got and didn't actually check the numbers. It didn't do "just fine" or not much worse than other SW shows, it started out strong with the first few episodes...and then views took a nosedive to the point where it was never in the top 10 again until the finale, where it only got to #10. It's totally fine to like this show, I wish I did, and I'm glad that there are youtubers like you guys out there to push back against the "anti-woke" bigots that hate everything, but a lot of us just thought it was a poorly written show, and if so much of the audience felt that way enough to the point that they stopped watching, maybe its for the best if it doesn't continue. Maybe a second season could improve! But this isn't a $30 million show on cable in 2005, it's a $180 million show on streaming in 2024. For better or worse, todays model only gives you one shot to win over the audience.

Andy repeating the Ripley line was the only truly unforgivable thing in the film to me. Just awful.

Hector is a BOSS!! Awesome rant, excellent points. Granted, I hated the Acolyte with every fiber of my being ($180 million dollar turd with unlikeable characters and randomly changing character motivations, horrendous dialogue and writing), but I am genuinely sorry for those that enjoyed the show. I gave it a chance, it had terrible plummeting viewership after the first few eps, guys. Not enough people watched the show overall to call it a success. Let’s not shield the show’s terrible execution of half-baked ideas by ranting about the racist minority of internet losers. This show failed because it wasn’t good and people bailed.

Great episode 🤙🏽

I thoroughly enjoyed ALIEN: ROMULUS... It was TERRIFIC... and I say this a 1st generation ALIEN fan of 45 years... Producer Ridley Scott and co-writer/director Fede Alvarez have delivered a knock-out punch with ALIEN: ROMULUS, an unabashed love letter to the entire ALIEN fiim series, yet at the same time, a wholly satisfying stand-alone effort as well... It is a more than welcome addition to the lore of the ALIEN saga... I LOVED IT! ALIEN: ROMULUS is a very thrilling and engaging film... Director Alvarez (who I was totally unfamiliar with) was an excellent choice to helm this film.. His visual aesthetic fit hand-in-glove with the styles that Scott, Cameron, and Fincher brought to their films... The movie has more than its share of tense and exciting "soon-to-be classic" set-pieces... The dynamic character relationship between Rain (Cailee Spaeny) and Andy (David Jonsson) was a highlight, giving the film's narrative the emotional anchor that it needed to warrant my investment in the story... Both actors (who I had also never heard of before) are great, and you really care for their characters... The production design and cinematography is impeccable, and the music score is very effective as well... The practical effects are fantastic, as are the CGI elements (and unlike some, I thought that the SFX execution of Ian Holm as Rook was excellent, and a welcome addition to the plot)... And as a fan of the ALIEN Prequels, I was so thrilled to have this film connect to them. All in all, ALIEN: ROMULUS was a winner all the way, and it reminded me of EXACTLY why I love this series SO much. Here is my ranking of the 9 ALIEN films... The Top Tier (the Holy Grails of the series)... #1. ALIEN (10//10) #2. ALIENS (10/10) ALIEN and ALIENS are both true cinematic CLASSICS ... They will ALWAYS be the absolute best ALIEN films (I think ALL fans of this series believe that)... The first is the ULTIMATE Sci-fi "monster in a haunted house" movie, and the second is the ULTIMATE Sci-fi "war-action" movie... However, of the two, as good as Cameron's entry is, Ridley Scott's 1979 film ALIEN will ALWAYS take the #1 spot. ALIEN is simply one of the GREATEST movies EVER made. It is PERFECT...It is ICONIC... It's a MASTERPIECE. The Middle Tier. (and a very IMPRESSIVE Middle Tier, at that).. #3. ALIEN 3 (9/10) #4. ALIEN: COVENANT (9/10) #5. PROMETHEUS (9/10) #6. ALIEN: ROMULUS (9/10) ALIEN 3, PROMETHEUS, COVENANT, and ROMULUS are all AMAZING as well... Even if NONE of them capture the original BRILLIANCE and ORIGINALITY of the first two, they DO come SO VERY close, and ARE all "Damn Good" movies... They are equally good for DIFFERENT reasons, each adding richer depth and nuance to the lore of the series... It's hard to decide, but as of THIS moment, I've given them this ranking (which IS interchangeable). The Bottom Tier (true misfires)... #7. ALIEN RESURRECTION (5/10) RESURRECTION is a BIG disappointment compared to the first three and last three stellar films of the series... Although the story is interesting, and there are things in it that I DO enjoy very much, the dialogue, acting, and direction (more often than not) is unfortunately "so dumbed-down" that it seems like a cheesy Cannon film from the "80's... That misguided tone definitely HURTS it.... BUT, it IS a "masterpiece" compared to the rest, which are SO BAD that I will break down this tier to an even LOWER level.... The "BELOW Bottom" Tier (we're talking "basement-level" here, folks)... #8. ALIEN VS PREDATOR (0/10) #9. ALIEN VS PREDATOR: REQUIEM (0/10) I don't even acknowledge ALIEN VS PREDATOR and ALIEN VS PREDATOR: REQUIEM... As far as I'm concerned, these films don't even exist... Both are bombs and TOTAL GARBAGE... I hope that both films get attacked by facehuggers and that xenomorphs explode from inside them... I first saw the original ALIEN in the theatre in 1979 when I was 12-years-old... In fact, it was the VERY FIRST R-Rated film that I EVER SAW in a movie theatre... I had to literally FIGHT with my mother and father to get ONE of them to take me to see it... I put up SUCH a temper tantrum that they eventually caved in... My father lost the coin toss, so HE took me... During the now-classic ultra-violent chestburster death scene of John Hurt, my father turned to me, worried about the well-being of his son, and asked me if I wanted to leave... "SHUT UP, DAD... LEAVE ME ALONE!", I angerly whispered back annoyingly under my breath, "I'M WATCHING THE MOVIE!"... Yes, it WAS scaring the hell out of me... But I was ALSO absolutely LOVING it... So we stayed... and that day I saw a cinematic CLASSIC. I was TOTALLY TRANSFORMED by what I was seeing up there on the screen as I sat there in the darkness. I had NEVER seen ANYTHING like that before. It blew me away... Sigourney Weaver's Ripley joined other recent film heroes of mine, like Luke, Leia, & Han, The Man of Steel, James Bond 007, and Kirk & Spock, as a new favorite... But most importantly, just as 1977's STAR WARS, 1978's SUPERMAN, 1979's MOONRAKER, and 1979's STAR TREK had ALSO done, 1979's ALIEN absolutely CHANGED my life... This young 10-12 year old was FINALLY getting to see TRULY GREAT filmmaking made by TRULY VISIONARY master craftsmen and artists... Not cheap, juvenile GUTTER TRASH like "The Apple Dumpling Gang" and "Petes Dragon" ("Ughhh!... How did I survive that rubbish?")... Not to mention the fact that ALIEN had the honor of being one of the very first films to introduce me to the amazing musical genius of the great Jerry Goldsmith! An amusing side note: When ALIENS came out in 1986, I was 19-years-old, and had a job as the Assistant Manager at my local movie theatre... Well, I can not tell you HOW MANY NIGHTS that, AFTER the theatre was closed for the night, my friends and I would have... ehem... "private midnight screenings" of ALIENS... Good times! This has been an AMAZING week... I NEVER dreamed way back then in 1979 that... 45 YEARS LATER... I would STILL be going to see brand new ALIEN films... AND... with Ridley Scott STILL serving as director and/or producer... How COOL is THAT?!? They say that in space, no one can hear you scream... But that won't stop me from screaming out my love for ALIEN: ROMULUS... To all those involved, I scream out... "THANK YOU and BRAVO!"

Hector caught a body! I love it! We smoking on that B2 Pack over here

HECTOR GO on girl!, PREACH! You ATE that commenter up! I love when you get all into this hater stuff. I'm so glad I hear something similar to how I feel about all the haterade that is flying around on creative film projects. LOL ALSO, ditto that on the huge app prices that keep on get increased. I have gotten rid of most of my apps at this point, I have Paramount Plus only because its part of the Walmart Plus thing. I had been working on film gigs, but the opportunities are drying up OR they do pay but sooooo much less than what they used to pay. I just can't afford to keep up with all of this stuff anymore. My savings are pretty much gone. The film industry really is going thru some growing pains, I'm just hoping that it improves :/ otherwise a lot of us just won't have jobs.

Alien Romulus was great! It’s number 3 for me. Resurrection holds a special place in my heart since it was the first alien movie I saw in theaters with my dad. So it can never be at the bottom in my book.

To be clear, the nobody watches the show line was dumb and unnecessary. I have no excuse for that. What I should have said is Variety said it was the second least watched show on Disney plus. I apologize for excluding the thousands to millions including myself, who watched it. That being said, this era of streaming is a direct causation of why these studios are abandoning shows. If it doesn’t “hit” right away then they freak. To counter my own argument, Andor seems to be an outlier which I don’t know why. Love you guys. I enjoy your content even when I don’t agree with the opinions.

I’m really getting tired of Disney and its head honchos, especially one in particular😒😒😒🙄 16:28 can you guys get in the big seats please! I would love this intelligent decision making to ACTUALLY happen🤗 24:12 and also what’s so crazy is that these hardcore “fans” of Star Wars or Marvel try to gatekeep their own nerd space and not let anyone new in. If you were not in it from the beginning, “you can’t sit with us now”. Your people or sect or group can’t be a part of what “we” have already established. It’s so dumb. 29:16 lastly Hector said say what you mean and mean what you say. Hector Navarro for President!👏🏾

It does hurt more to "lose" to the haters. And it makes it hard to actually critique genuine flaws in the storytelling without joining in in the hate. I sometimes feel that if I'm not all in on 5 stars, I'm siding with the "no girl jedi" crowd. It has to be affecting quality out of the industry.

The cgi part that was a problem was when it was introduced to us for the first time and it was really off, but as time goes by it looks really good, the face replacement, movement and lighting works well but some were off, it made me think this was maybe like a new added on scene or it was worked by different people that cause the inconsistency in it

First half of this alien review episode was about a Star Wars show no one liked…

I watched Alien: Romulus in Dolby opening week. I had a great time with it. Loved it visually. Yes I agree with the consensus of the deep fake. My current ranking is 1. Alien 2. Aliens 3. Romulus. Need to watch the rest. Great episode dudes!

I feel like watching this episode should equal some university credits on my transcript lol class is in session. 1:10:07
