Well, if you want to get rid of a good percentage of the audience, then yes. Personally, I watch Kevin Smith show for Marc's contributions. Not sure I'd have the patience for the all-Kevin all-the-time show.
When there are two hosts and one guest you put him on one side and not in the middle in a setup like this. I think they learned their lesson since poor Marc is looking at Grant's back 90% of the time...lol
I was brought up on 2000AD from birth in 75,only stopped collecting in 2000,got back into reading graphic novels in 2007 and have since cleaned out 5 libraries of content,grants work is exceptional and I'm sure happy is only the first of many projects to come
Dro Williams check out runs comics. If you like run dmc and comics. Its not the best by any stretch but a lot of dope homages to old comics. Fun to look at.
SyFy needs to go all in with Grant Morrison.... Get Nameless on, Transmetropolitan... If Netflix has Mark Millar, then SyFy needs to keep Morrison...even better would be to pickup Warren Ellis
They would have to get Ellis to do Transmet. I agree it could be a TV show, but that comic was so ahead of its time that a lot of the stuff in it is common place and real now, and not so much a distopian future. It’s almost like we live in a distopian present.
Disney isn't spending $60 billion for the X-Men and FF, they would have gotten those rights regardless without spending a penny no matter who Fox ended up selling their assets to. Fox is only leasing those rights, they don't own them, therefore they cannot sell them. No matter who Fox ended up selling to, once their film division no longer exists those rights automatically revert to Marvel because they were only on lease. Those Marvel properties are irrelevant in this deal because Disney would have gotten them back for free no matter what. The reason Disney is interested in this deal is for all the OTHER content Fox currently has. Disney is starting that streaming service and is going to need content for it, that's where there mind is at. X-men and FF is a nice bonus but they would have gotten that anyway.
I have loved Grant Morrison for decades. The only letter I ever wrote to a comic book was to Doom Patrol, and they published it! It's nice to see that he's not a douche, and it makes me laugh to see that, like me, he's got a bit of a gut at our age LMAO
Kev, when you have a guest if you stand with mark and have the guest stand where you are in this video then the guest will be facing the camera when they look at you. That said the back of Grant's big bald head is a glorious thing to behold.
Hey Kev and Marc! Greetings from Down Under! I've been a fan of Fat Man since the very first episode and while it's great to get all my geek news from my favourite geek gods, I must admit a yearning for the days of Fat Man past that featured creators and contributors to the world of The Bat. The Mark Hammill episodes are the 3 greatest hours of podcasting I've ever had the pleasure to slide into my ear-pussy! To get on topic, there is only a struck match separating your time with Mark from the aural adventure we all went on when you spoke with my favourite Scotsman, Grant Morrison. So when I was alerted to this episode I must admit to making noises similar to a teen girl at a (insert relevant teen boy band reference) concert. Squeeeee!! Thank you so much for bringing him back! What is the chance of you adding one more show to the SMODCAST network? I'm thinking "How to be a truly cool and funky human with Grant Morrison". Let me know what you think/feel about my suggestion.
As someone that has had seizures, I can agree with what christa said... my experience has always been a place of fast moving lights and sounds that break into the most europhic place...and thats just a seizure....
Black Batman is NightHawk in Marvel's Squadron Supreme, absolutely loved the back story in that one. A man so fueled for hatred of the people who killed his parents.
Kev, Marc - camera situation re guests - you two should stand together on the right with the guest facing you, us / the camera on the left. Not only did we not see Grants lovely mug some of the time, he had his back to Marc nearly the whole time. Bad social dynamic as well as bad camera / interview set up.
Ivadinuff Shudupyabitch yeah you could tell it was affecting Marc & making him uncomfortable in engaging in the conversation freely. Marc pretty much just spoke when he was spoken to once Grant Morrison came out.
Yea it looks like he’s being so patient. That’s really on the producers to fix that. And on Marc to ask more questions to get shift attention. As awkward as it is for him it’s just as awkward to watch.
She sounded like she was more than drunk. Like she was schizophrenic. I hate when people at these shows don't realize that they're not the only people there. This isn't a one on one chat with you and Kevin Smith.
Invisibles tv series would be proper dope ! Get on it, Netflix ! Did anyone catch all the nods to it in Stranger Things 2 ep 7 ? easter eggs galor & come on !..they were the (a bit crappy) Junior Invisibles ! i haven't seen ANYONE mention this !
Grant Morrison returning to Batman is the greatest DC news Ive heard in a long time. I know hes not doing the whole series but Ive heard that hes got a one shot for dark knights metal or whatever its called. And arkham asylum 2 with Damian? Fuck yeah.
I just woke up my baby by shouting " you are holding her fucking passport " at the t.v. I hope you heard me. That was like torture man. Like are you kidding me. I kept waiting for you to realise, or for some one to tell you but it never happened. I couldn't hack it. Twas too much. I also woke up my son cheering when Supergirl did the General bit, so it really isn't a problem. He probably would have gone back to sleep ( both times ) if I could have stopped laughing. Now he's just looking around the room like I don't understand Mum, where is the funny? Also. This is epic, so far. As far as I have seen. Obviously.
@@blackdoctorstrange I usually disagree with him. That doesn’t mean he’s wrong or you’re wrong it just means I disagree with a lot of things he’s says about stories
What do you think the post credit scene for deadpool2 would be like if they did the post crest scene from jay and silent bob strike back in the deadpool style?
EVERYONE, READ RUNAWAYS! It’s the best new series by Marvel in 20 years minimum. It’s so much better than the show. I like the show, but it’s a soap opera and not nearly as good as the source material. Like dude, Chase and his dad should not ever EVER be having moments. That said I do enjoy the show. Cool to see Grant Morrison back. Just did a reread of his Batman run. Damn it was incredible. Read runaways, and also Grant Morrison’s batman. Both are very easy to get a hold of.
Another key difference between marvel and WB/DC is that they let there actors produce there solo superhero movie.Fox Does it with three marvel properties. Marvel has one vision and that is Kevin Fiege.
The guy that plays Jax on Legends completely failed to bring in it in those episodes. I could actually see him straining to squeeze out a tear to absolutely no effect.
Since the Fantastic Four and X-Men rights are not transferable, Disney/Marvel will get the rights back even if Comcast buys the FOX IPs. Disney's main goal is to get more content for their streaming service in 2019.
24:35 Not giving the time is part of it. Also not hiring people who understand the characters and coke-addled marketing executives who've never read a comic book in their lives second guessing the unqualified creatives at every turn. What a fucking nightmare.
I can't believe the way they are interviewing Morrisson. Kevin should be standing with Marc on the other side so Grant doesn't have to keep turning around. And while Kevin and Marc chug on their drinks no one gets Grant a fucking beverage? #oneeyeopen
Kevin, being a director should know blocking. Get rid of whatever the hell that giant bundle of pipes and garbage is in the center of the desk area to free up room for the actual subject of the show- the people. This interview could have been great but it was ultimately awkward.
I wanted to be a Marc B fan, but he said “Colossal”, so I’m back to feeling warm about him. Oh wait, he was smart, calm, and not political when answering a question about Batman being played by a black actor. I’m a fan again. Also to Grant Morrison: I’m a Gemini (wink).
Kevin Smith and Grant Morrison together is all I need in my life. Period.
I have to agree
Jay and Silent (king) Mob :-)
Two people I’ve meet in my life. One was really nice to me the other one was a huge dick.
About time you brought creators back. Those were the greatest fmobm shows.
Now get rid of Mark and we are golden!
Hell are you talking about? Marc's awesome. Perfect balance to Kev's excessive fanboyism.
Lultschful exactly and mark adds great insight into the entertainment industry and business side of things.
The only reason I still put up with Kevin's repetitive self-deprecating bullshit is because of Marc.
Well, if you want to get rid of a good percentage of the audience, then yes. Personally, I watch Kevin Smith show for Marc's contributions. Not sure I'd have the patience for the all-Kevin all-the-time show.
That Christa lady sounds like an actual Grant Morrison character.
Grant Morrison is one of the great philosophers of our time.
Massively inspiring.
Marc's face when he dropped the land of the living line. Proper proud of himself. That was funny as hell. Made me giggle.
When there are two hosts and one guest you put him on one side and not in the middle in a setup like this. I think they learned their lesson since poor Marc is looking at Grant's back 90% of the time...lol
The Invisibles would be an amazing series/movie...the world (at this moment) could use the knowledge and insights illustrated by the work as a whole.
So glad that Grant has come back on. Zenith Phase Three is one of the greatest stories ever to grace the pages of 2000ad.
Christmas already? Grant Morrison?!?!?!
I was there!!
It was Awesome!!
You Rock Kevin!!
😀🤘
Jeff BisCamp what did that ded lady look like?
I Shoot Stuff she was Haggard!!
That's my hand grabbing the passport @15:12 lol. And I'm the one who asks about Arkham Asylum 2 so you're all welcome haha.
Mason Moyer what was Christa like?
Hayley S She was pretty crazy but kinda cute too lol.
Only Kevin Smith would admit to crying while watching a CW tv show
Marc killed that black batman question the same way I would. Would love to have deep comic discussions with him. He needs to write a comic.
Kevin stands over, writing in her passport and asks 'how do you spell your name?'
You're standing over her passport! . . with like, her name in it.
I was brought up on 2000AD from birth in 75,only stopped collecting in 2000,got back into reading graphic novels in 2007 and have since cleaned out 5 libraries of content,grants work is exceptional and I'm sure happy is only the first of many projects to come
Yesss happy day! Thank you for the free entertainment! Life is good.
YES!!!!! Day fucking made.
59:20 grant morrison
An hour in....damn.
Shout out to Kevin Smith for that Run DMC jersey...Dope af
Dro Williams check out runs comics. If you like run dmc and comics. Its not the best by any stretch but a lot of dope homages to old comics. Fun to look at.
I think they're Darrell's
Correct, DMC is the Comic creator
Kould dhere be a black Marvel Boi??
Love you too Kev and Marc. But yeah... Mooooooooorrison
Someone link to where he talks about superman. Thanks.
Marc, as far as Marvel films go, and I'm a fan, you nailed it. "TV on the grandest scale" is the perfect explanation of the Marvel formula.
You guys need to find a better place for guests to stand, I feel bad for Marc.
SyFy needs to go all in with Grant Morrison.... Get Nameless on, Transmetropolitan... If Netflix has Mark Millar, then SyFy needs to keep Morrison...even better would be to pickup Warren Ellis
They would have to get Ellis to do Transmet. I agree it could be a TV show, but that comic was so ahead of its time that a lot of the stuff in it is common place and real now, and not so much a distopian future. It’s almost like we live in a distopian present.
Morrison had notta to do with transmet
TransMet was Ellis, not Morrison
Vic atNyte I just really wanna see All-Star Superman on screen :(

This is the best shot of the back of Grant Morrisons left ear i have ever seen.
This was a great episode!!! Except for the krista part. Marc’s face sums it all up.
I have loved Grant Morrison for decades. The only letter I ever wrote to a comic book was to Doom Patrol, and they published it! It's nice to see that he's not a douche, and it makes me laugh to see that, like me, he's got a bit of a gut at our age LMAO
why did you stop adding timecodes?
Kev, when you have a guest if you stand with mark and have the guest stand where you are in this video then the guest will be facing the camera when they look at you. That said the back of Grant's big bald head is a glorious thing to behold.

I fucking love Grant Morrisson his previous podcasts with Kevin were amazing.
Hearing a Scottish accent that heavy say "the patriarchy" makes me laugh really hard for some reason.
Grant Morrison arrives around 59:00
As someone that has had seizures, I can agree with what christa said... my experience has always been a place of fast moving lights and sounds that break into the most europhic place...and thats just a seizure....
Crisis on earth x was amazing
Time to get high and listen to Grant talk about magik and metaphysical shit.
I clicked the notification for this video faster than the flash. Oh my gawd-Morisson 🤟🤟
Black Batman is NightHawk in Marvel's Squadron Supreme, absolutely loved the back story in that one. A man so fueled for hatred of the people who killed his parents.
Nolan needs to do a War of Jokes and Riddles movie SO. FUCKING. BAD.
Kite-man, Hell yeah.
Kev, Marc - camera situation re guests -

hosts behind the bar, guests seated at the bar. three cameras minimum
seems so obvious really
i literally just came in the pants. I love Grant Morrison.
0o I Died In A Time Machine o0 why
The link to the audio podcast is a dead link... how can I download this and put it on my iPod so I can listen? ^-^
I think David Fincher could make a really cool Arkham Asylum movie.
You know what I love? Ads for pet food randomly shoved into the middle of a good conversation.
Getting a "Happy!" tv show right before Christmas is seriously amazing. So glad that SyFy had the balls to do this.
Fuckin Christa is weird man 😂, needs to lay off on the benzos. Perfect episode for Grant Morrison to be on haha
GRANT MORRISON! I clicked on the video with the lightspeed
Yall the fkin BEST!!!! Thank you for what you both continuously contribute to the geek culture community!!
I always feel like poor Marc always gets the shove lol. Had to stair at the back of Morrison's head for an hour.
Victor Sagastume
maybe most of the crowd is to the left for camera in center
It's Grant Fucking Morrison im pretty sure he doesn't care, he's prob honoured to be standing next to him lol
Yea it looks like he’s being so patient. That’s really on the producers to fix that. And on Marc to ask more questions to get shift attention. As awkward as it is for him it’s just as awkward to watch.
Victor Sagastume
lol I noticed that from the thumbnail. They should have some kind of balanced seating arrangement.
Victor Sagastume super disrespectful of Morrison to do that. But Kevin didn’t say anything either. So that looks bad for both of them.
Marc ate it on Schmodown. I was screamimg every missed answer at the screen lol
I need time stamps fam, the show is TWO HOURS
55:29 "I was never a He-Man cartoon guy..."
Yes, Kevin. We're well aware.
Marc feigning interest in the death story was great and uncomfortable.
The woman begging for the sweet release of death was pretty dark.
smithwessonfan very dark lol they were like ewww next question
I hope she gets some kind of resolution to whatever weird journey she's on. At least for the sake of all future live performances ever.
Is there a weird purple filter hue with all of Kevin's vids for anyone else? Ever since they switched to the bar setting, the lighting's been weird.
Holy Shit, Grant Morrison!
That girl sounded drunk as fuck.
Cameron Steel she was also really annoying.
She sounded like she was more than drunk. Like she was schizophrenic. I hate when people at these shows don't realize that they're not the only people there. This isn't a one on one chat with you and Kevin Smith.
Fuck that bitch woukd hVe thrown the passaport inthd garbage
Damn she was just sharing her near death experience and what she went through it. Y'all are all closed minded dicks. Learn to be more emphatic.
Wonder how Kevin will take the news that Jon Hamm is possibly up for Batman considering he was one of the earliest champions for BatHamm
People are already saying Ben is too old and with Reeves wanting a trilogy/new start
Never gonna happen
robert pattinson lol
@@TheMastermind729 😔/but Pattinson was awesome!
Are comicbook writers better suited to write within studio parameters?
Invisibles tv series would be proper dope !
Get on it, Netflix !
Did anyone catch all the nods to it in Stranger Things 2 ep 7 ?
easter eggs galor & come on !..they were the (a bit crappy) Junior Invisibles !
i haven't seen ANYONE mention this !
59:06 for Grant's interview.
What do you guys think of Quentin Tarantino doing an R Rated Star Trek film?
Hobo Aquatics sounds great
I'd like to see Spock with a jheri curl.
No fucking wayyyyy!!!!!!! Grant Morrison is back in the Fatcave!
I want to preorder a copy of "Give it up for the dead girl" by Christa Ferrara now
I don't pay much attention to the CW shows but that sounds like a way to introduce Power Girl.
dpreetam My thoughts exactly. Give Benoit a haircut and a boob window, stat!
Grant Morrison returning to Batman is the greatest DC news Ive heard in a long time. I know hes not doing the whole series but Ive heard that hes got a one shot for dark knights metal or whatever its called. And arkham asylum 2 with Damian? Fuck yeah.

Also. This is epic, so far. As far as I have seen. Obviously.
Kevin you are awesome
anybody knows what character wants Morrison to make a show about? I can't understand it, thank you
If Kevin and Marc liked the way 'ninja batman' looked, wait till they get a load of 'Spider-Man: into the spider-verse'
Thanks Marc. Your Black vs white batman break down was I think the most honest thing heard in awhile.
Listen at 1:38:40. SJW gets put in her place.
Cool beans . !!! Wakanda Forever !!! 🐱
This is literally the first time I’ve agreed with mark. You have to build the tracks first and can’t just shit out dc films
john Carlos What Marc is usually right lol
Mykell Broughton exactly
@@blackdoctorstrange I usually disagree with him. That doesn’t mean he’s wrong or you’re wrong it just means I disagree with a lot of things he’s says about stories
The 1st episode of Happy is free on Amazon Video........ . . .. .
what was the overlooked movie Kevin talked about , can't make up the title ... :/
What do you think the post credit scene for deadpool2 would be like if they did the post crest scene from jay and silent bob strike back in the deadpool style?

Well, I guess Kevin has his own "other side" opinions now.
Excellent show, Boyz of Wonder!
Guh-RANT! Great ta see yeh! HAPPY is awesome--welcome to the Boob Tube!
An aside: CONSTANTINE IS BACK!!!! Discuss...
Grant is right about the Amazon's lack of technology
i love him
What did she say?
24:35 Not giving the time is part of it. Also not hiring people who understand the characters and coke-addled marketing executives who've never read a comic book in their lives second guessing the unqualified creatives at every turn. What a fucking nightmare.
i'm compelled to want to put another line in that red circle behind kevin's head to complete the smash bros. logo.
He Man WAS TOTALLY NEW GODS! Mind blown!
I think Kevin and Marc instantly regretted asking that chick about the great beyond. Just wow. Lol.
How Star Trek is more "western" than Serenity/Firefly ? Or deep down it is?
I literally stoped mid video and found the ending scene of he man lol
I can't believe the way they are interviewing Morrisson.
Kevin should be standing with Marc on the other side so Grant doesn't have to keep turning around.
And while Kevin and Marc chug on their drinks no one gets Grant a fucking beverage?
#oneeyeopen
Caleb James is right, from now on, ALL GUESTS should stand opposite the Co-Hosts so they can interview properly, and at least have a water ready.
The previous set was better for guests tbh.
Relax they do this for fun
Kevin, being a director should know blocking. Get rid of whatever the hell that giant bundle of pipes and garbage is in the center of the desk area to free up room for the actual subject of the show- the people.
This interview could have been great but it was ultimately awkward.
kinetikx Dude, it's a bar. They're not going to dismantle the guy's establishment for this show. Asking for that would be rude as hell to JC.
why did Noone ask Morrison about convergence. where's my damn socks! KEV!
I wanted to be a Marc B fan, but he said “Colossal”, so I’m back to feeling warm about him. Oh wait, he was smart, calm, and not political when answering a question about Batman being played by a black actor. I’m a fan again. Also to Grant Morrison: I’m a Gemini (wink).
Time stamps please!! I can’t just watch a 2 hour fucking show!
Did Grant Morrison predict A.I. writing during the Q & A session? That dude is wizard af.
